SPI Plans NPE2012 'Super Sunday,' Culminating in Opening Gala
2/22/2012
Presentations by Top Brand Owners, Expo Center Orientation, and 'American-Style Barbecue' Will Be Open to All NPE2012 Registrants
WASHINGTON, DC, U.S.A., February 21, 2012: To usher in what promises to be a resurgent NPE exposition, SPI: The Plastics Industry Trade Association has organized NPE2012 "Super Sunday," a day full of networking opportunities, social events, and presentations by top business leaders, SPI announced today.
While the exhibit halls and concurrent conferences will open on Monday, April 2, the schedule for Super Sunday on April 1 includes a morning golf tournament and evening Opening Gala for which separate registration is required, plus three afternoon events open to all who have registered to attend NPE2012. A highlight of the Opening Gala will be the keynote address by Jon Huntsman, Jr., former Utah governor and U.S. ambassador and recent candidate for U.S. President.
Super Sunday will be a day of celebration for what is shaping up to be a successful NPE2012, according to Gene Sanders, senior vice president in charge of trade shows for SPI, which produces the triennial NPE. "NPE2012 will be bigger and much more dynamic than our 2009 show, with significantly more exhibits, more machinery in operation, and greater attendance," Sanders said. "At the same time, this show marks two historical milestones - the 75th anniversary of SPI and the first time NPE has been held in Orlando, after 40 years in Chicago."
The events planned for Super Sunday include:
- SPI's 75th Anniversary Golf Tournament. This will take place at the Hyatt Regency Grand Cypress Golf Club, whose courses have been used by LPGA titleholders. Scheduled from 8:00 am to 1:30 pm, the event costs US $250 per person, which includes fees and cart, breakfast and awards luncheon, on-course refreshments, and sponsor giveaways. Profits will go to SPI's Future of Plastics Foundation and an Orlando charity.
- Brand-Owner Super Session with Panel Discussion. Following a welcome and overview by SPI president and CEO William R. Carteaux, there will be four presentations by representatives of prominent companies: Life through Plastics in the Electronic Age (electronics/wireless industry); What's in Store for Plastics? (retail merchandising); Aerospace Horizons; and It's a Wrap! Innovation through Plastic Packaging. Open to all NPE2012 registrants, the event will take place from 1:00 to 4:45 pm at the Chapin Theater in the West Hall of the Orange County Convention Center (OCCC).
- American-Style BBQ. This will be held from 4:30 to 6:00 pm outside the West building of the OCCC and is open to all NPE2012 registrants. Food and beverages are available on a cash and carry basis.
- OCCC Orientation. Since the Orange County Convention Center will be new to virtually every NPE2012 participant, this event can assist in planning to make the most productive use of NPE show week. Held in the Chapin Theater in the West Hall of the OCCC, it will be open to all and immediately follow the Brand-Owner Super Session.
- SPI's 75th Anniversary Opening Gala and Plastics Hall of Fame Ceremony. This formal, black-tie-optional event will include a reception and banquet, keynote address by Governor Huntsman, and induction ceremony for ten new members of the Hall of Fame. Tickets cost US $300 per person and $2,200 for a table of eight. The event will take place from 6:00 to 9:45 pm in the Sebastian J Ballroom of the Rosen Shingle Creek Hotel in Orlando.

The Federal's pistol slid into its holster and his sabre flashed out. He threw its curved point up in a splendid salute. Ferry saluted with his straight blade. Then both swords rang back into their scabbards, and Jewett whirled away toward his column. For a moment we lingered, then faced to the left, trotted, galloped. Over the fence and into the road went he--went I. Down it, as we crossed, the blue column was just moving again. Then the woods on the south swallowed us up. "All right, sir." that before. Meanwhile the parallelism between Thought and Extension was not exhausted by the identification just analysed. Extension was not only a series of movements; it still remained an expression for co-existence and adjacency.412 Spinoza, therefore, felt himself obliged to supply Thought with a correspondingly continuous quality. It is here that his chief originality lies, here that he has been most closely followed by the philosophy of our own time. Mind, he declares, is an attribute everywhere accompanying matter, co-extensive and co-infinite with space. Our own animation is the sum or the resultant of an animation clinging to every particle that enters into the composition of our bodies. When our thoughts are affected by an external impulse, to suppose that this impulse proceeds from anything material is a delusion; it is produced by the mind belonging to the body which acts on our body; although in what sense this process is to be understood remains a mystery. Spinoza has clearly explained the doctrine of animal automatism, and shown it to be perfectly conceivable;569 but he has entirely omitted to explain how the parallel influence of one thought (or feeling) on another is to be understood; for although this too is spoken of as a causal relation, it seems to be quite different from the logical concatenation described as the infinite intellect of God; and to suppose that idea follows from idea like movement from movement would amount to a complete materialisation of mind; while our philosopher would certainly have repudiated Mr. Shadworth Hodgson’s theory, that states of consciousness are only connected through their extended substratum, as the segments of a mosaic picture are held together by the underlying surface of masonry. Nor can we admit that Spinoza entertained the theory, now so popular, according to which extension and consciousness are merely different aspects of a single reality. For this would imply that the substance which they manifest had an existence of its own apart from its attributes; whereas Spinoza makes it consist of the attributes, that is to say, identifies it with their totality. We are forced, then, to conclude that the proposition declaring thought and extension to be the same thing570 has no413 other meaning than that they are connected by the double analogy which we have endeavoured to explain. “Oh, he’s welcome to it,” Sandy cried. “I’ve turned over a new leaf!” “But—are they?” He pulled a wire out a trifle from the sheath. The sergeant spent more time upon the oaths with which he embellished the counter-question as to how he should know anything about it, than would have been consumed in a civil explanation. "Doctor, he can't die. He mustn't die," said Shorty in agony. "The regiment can't spare him. He's the best soldier in it, and he's my pardner." AND ENTERS UPON HIS PARENTAL RELATIONS TO LITTLE PETE SKIDMORE. "Holy smoke, look there," gasped Monty Scruggs, as a company of rebel cavalry came tearing over the hill in front, to the assistance of their comrades. "That's about it," answered Shorty disdainfully. "That's the way with all cavalry, dad-burn 'em. They're like a passel o' fice pups. They're all yelp and bark, and howl and showin' o' teeth. They're jest goin' to tear you to pieces. But when you pick up a stone or a club, or git ready to give 'em a good kick they're gone, the devil knows where. They're only an aggravation. You never kin do nothin' with 'em, and they kin do nothin' with you. I never kin understand why God Almighty wasted his time in makin' cavalry of any kind, Yank or rebel. All our own cavalry's good for is to steal whisky and chickens from honest soldiers of the infantry. The infantry's the only thing. It's like the big dog that comes up without any special remarks, and sets his teeth in the other dog. The thing only ends when one dog or the other is badly whipped and somethin's bin accomplished." "Mmm." Reuben started out of the half-waking state into which he had fallen. It was late in the afternoon, the sunlight had gone, and a wintry twilight crept up the wall. Maude the dairy-woman was looking in at the door. It was about a month subsequent to this, that one morning, as Turner was making the anvil ring with the ponderous strokes of his hammer, two retainers from the castle entered the shed, and delivered an order from De Boteler for his immediate attendance. Wat laid the hammer on the anvil, and, passing the back of his right hand across his forehead, to clear away the large drops that stood there, looked with a kind of smile at the men as he said, HoME泷泽萝拉四部和集下载
