Over the past few years, IOT in India has been gaining huge popularity, with significant application across sectors. The number of IoT devices in the market at the moment is exploding and it’s expected that by 2025, there will be around 22 billion such devices. Factors like access to affordable smart devices, cloud computing, and data-driven integrated service offerings have all contributed to the rise of IoT devices. IOT or Internet of things, connects the world to the Internet to the tangible everyday devices, helping drive efficiency, innovation, and integration, by leveraging AI, ML and other emerging technologies. Listed here are the top 10 IoT innovation trends that are set to drive the mobile app development market in the coming years:
Smart home automation is becoming the new normal, with increased popularity of features like smart lights, smart doors, smart speakers, and remote monitoring and surveillance of modern homes. While the ‘smart homes’ as a concept is already here, it is still in its nascent stage and shows massive potential for growth in the coming years, especially in the areas of senior citizen care, overall safety and security of homes, remote surveillance, and remote monitoring, all of which is set to be powered and driven by the IOT through smart phone apps.
IoT in Smart Cities
Even as universal tech adoption is driving smarter personal devices, on the larger scale, state and municipal corporations are also waking up to the enormous benefits of IOT and its applications for building safe, secure, energy-efficient, and sustainable smart cities. From problems like traffic congestion, air and noise pollution, waste management and recycling of resources to helping create a robust 4G and 5G connectivity, that can enable a secure data exchange between private and government agencies, IoT is already finding varied applications across the spectrum.
With a supportive infrastructure, IOT is soon set to be one of the indispensable aspects of modern lifestyle and will bring about a tectonic shift in the way transportation, sanitation, security, and resources are managed, powered by data analytics and IOT
Edge Computing is a technology that enables one to transfer the data for an IoT device to another local device, in the vicinity, or at the ‘edge of the network’ instead of sending it to the cloud, from the device. As the number of IOT devices increase, the scope and function of Edge computing is also set to increase, allowing local storage devices to sort, filter, and calculate the data and sending only a small portion of the same to the cloud, reducing traffic to the network and dependency on the cloud.
Healthcare technology has already witnessed massive transformation over the past two years, driven by the global pandemic and the challenges it brought for the healthcare infrastructure. Adoption of IoT to configure and connect a wide range of medical devices, such as sensors, medical equipment, portable devices, health monitors etc. has opened up a scope for tech automation and robotics in the healthcare sector. In the future, it is set to boost the production of mobile health apps and virtual assistants that will help one to simplify the process of monitoring the health of a patient from a remote location.
Blockchain for IoT Security
Innovations in IOT and Blockchain, have shown promising results, with the invention of IOTA, a distributed ledger that can record and execute transactions between IoT devices in the ecosystem. This invention, is set to transform the IoT ecosystem by creating a secure and cost-effective solution that can help reduce the cost of both the SaaS and cloud.
Data Analytics and Big Data
IoT in combination with AI, is already driving the smart devices surge while helping collect valuable data across the spectrum that can be extremely helpful in gaining consumer insights. The potential of Big Data has already been established and the convergence of IoT and Big Data, is set to create an unprecedented tech advancement that is driven by smart data analytics. From the smallest of household chores like tracking energy consumption, using voice assistance for online shopping, navigation or security to helping generate information that can predict consumer and market trends, IoT powered data analytics is set to not only enhance productivity but will also reduce costs while streamlining operations with the help of large amounts of data.
Personalization of Retail
IoT has greatly impacted the supply chain management space, as well as the in-store shopping experience of customers, by through the use of sensors, in addition to other techniques. IoT can be used in the future for effective customer engagement, running message broadcasts, sharing important announcements about the store/ collection and assisting with overall process of experiential retail which is set to be the future.
As the number of devices connected to the internet increases, the risk of data theft and breach of privacy, also increase. While existing concerns around cyber security are already significant, smart IoT devices are now adopting Blockchain, AI, ML, and Big Data to create in-build data security ecosystems that are effective and robust. Once successful, these will help eliminate the cyber security and data privacy threats to a vast extent.
Even as we witness and accelerated adoption of emerging technology among both, businesses and individuals, there is also a rising demand for creating a common framework for IoT devices that can be unified and accessible, across the spectrum. The unified framework design will not only secure the data but the devices with different use cases too. As the IoT space matures over a period of time, newer technologies are expected to come into play, leading to the formation of a robust and well-designed IoT architecture that will be customised for use case scenarios, across fields such as agriculture, finance, insurance, transportation and many others.
And while IoT is still emerging, it holds immense potential and offers a wide range of applications for various industries. IoT in combination with other powerful and innovative technologies can open gates to endless possibilities for every sector and organization irrespective of its size, be it small or big. It’s only a matter of time that it takes over the world, but when it does, make sure that you are ready for it.

On April 10th, the U.S. House of Representatives passed bill 408-2 in an effort to combat two related causes; money laundering and human trafficking. The bill now relies on the Senate’s approval and, if passed, will require that the presidential task force make recommendations to Congress as to how they can prevent money laundering by human traffickers. The State Department will also be required to factor money laundering into human trafficking when compiling their annual reports. The exact number of human trafficking cases that occur is difficult to estimate, but recent reports put the total at tens of millions of victims globally. Human trafficking typically includes sexual exploitation, prostitution, military service, labor and even in some instances organ donation.
The House has also passed a separate bill 409-2 that will impose stricter consequences, such as an additional 5 years added to the maximum federal prison sentence, on predators that are convicted of stalking children under the age of 18, including online stalking. According to victims’ advocates, 7.5 million people are stalked each year in the U.S alone, and 1 in 4 of those reported were being stalked online.
In addition, President Trump is expected to sign legislation that will make it easier for victims of sex trafficking, and prosecutors to take legal action against websites that allow advertisements for prostitutes, which is one of the ways that can lead to minors being sexually exploited. Up until now, only those directly involved in the crime of sex trafficking were able to be convicted, however with the passing of the new legislations, the laws are broadened to include sites such as Backpage.com which was recently taken down by federal authorities due to its advertisements for sexual services.

Power: Using solar power is a great while camping. Portable solar power systems are inexpensive and a good size to bring along with you to your destination. Or installing solar power panels on your shed, for a more long-term style. The price for this can vary and a quote would be needed.
Generators can be an option for short term, as a source of backup power, are not designed to run continuously without end. Some models are made to provide power for up to eight hours, some twelve, and some can run for days on end. However, in no way should you keep your generator running for weeks, months, let alone years without rest.
Using devices than run off battery power is another option; smaller electronics can run for months on the same batteries. Plus using newer appliances are rated for less energy consumption.

Our surveying of scores of old geodetic monuments installed by the Survey of Bangladesh in 2002 is going well. By determining their exact elevation with precision GPS, we can determine how much the land has sunk, or subsided, over the last 18 years. This is of critical importance in the low-lying coastal zone of Bangladesh. The balance of sea level rise, land subsidence and sedimentation will determine what land loss the region could experience in the future.
We have worked our way south to the beach town of Kuakata on the Indian Ocean. Since installing the GPS just behind our hotel took longer than expected, we split into two teams to install our equipment at the other two sites near here. My group was to do the site to the northeast. The challenge was how to get there. While there are roads that directly go there, they are probably not passable for our van. Instead, we headed north.
We will have to take ferries to get to the corner of the island where the site is. After a lot of asking around, the best route turned out to be to drive east to the new large Deep Sea Port that is being constructed with a wide new road leading to it. We then went along the crumbling embankment road to a local country boat ferry. There were wooden boardwalks at each end to get to the boat for the short trip across.
On the other side, we were able to get a rickshaw van for about a third of the way to the school with the monument. The four of us had to walk the remaining half a mile. We were shown the monument adjacent to the school, which was surrounded by shallow water from an unused rice field. At least that meant that it had an excellent sky view. We took off our shoes and sandals, rolled up our pants and waded to the monument through foot-deep water.
The monument was in good shape and the set up went quickly. The only challenge was making sure the tripod was stable in the soft mud. After meeting the local school headmaster and having tea, we walked back to reverse our route. The other team was able to drive to their site, which was also in the middle of water with only the top of the monument sticking out. Unfortunately, it had sewage from latrines draining into it, so they decided to skip it.
Since they could not install that one, they got to pick up the GPS that was set up the day before. Since it was set up late the previous day, they had time to eat lunch and visit a beach. When we finished and made our way back, we had some free time in the evening, unlike the last few long days. We returned too late to catch the sunset, but were still able to enjoy a walk on the beach. When I was here in the summer, the water at the beach was fresh instead of salty.
This is due to the enormous water flow from the Ganges and Brahmaputra Rivers during the monsoon. The flow pushes the salty ocean water away from the coast. Now in the winter, the water was somewhat salty, but still not at a level of the normal ocean. We also had an easy morning, at last. We needed to wait until 11 AM to pick up the station outside our hotel, so we had plenty of time to pack and check out. Then the entire team went to our site from yesterday.
I opted to stay on the school grounds and let others wade through the water to pick up the equipment. When that was done, we were free to head back north to Barisal. Since it was the weekend, traffic was light and we got there in the early evening. With Hasnat and his students trained, it was time for me and most of the others to return to Dhaka. Céline will stay a few more days to work with them. We rearranged all the equipment in the cars, so we could install a site on the way back to Dhaka. Mondal, Sober, Salam, Masud and I went with the two GPSs returning to Dhaka and one to install. Hasnat, Nahin, Saif and Céline went to install two other sites. This time, the site was in a jute factory not too far off the main road to Dhaka. With both professional surveyors in our car, the installation went quickly, the factory manager arranged for security and showed me the facilities.
Based on expected traffic, we took a longer route and took the shorter ferry at Aricha near the confluence of the Ganges and Brahmaputra Rivers. While the route was longer, there was little traffic until we reached Dhaka and not much wait at the ferry. With five people and equipment to drop off, we had multiple stops in Dhaka. We spent almost as much time (almost four hours) in Dhaka as getting to Dhaka from the last site (4.5 hours. For me now, there are a few days of meetings in Dhaka, then the long trip home.
Meanwhile, Hasnat and his students will continue to survey the geodetic monuments for the next two months. Today, while I am in Dhaka, they installed one more site and picked up the equipment from the previous day’s three sites. I will pick up the equipment I brought in March. The trip has been very successful, with the usual rearranging the schedule on the fly.

How having children can mean a longer life for women: Study finds mothers are 20 per cent less likely to die early
- Imperial College London researchers analysed data of 322,972 women
- Discovered breastfeeding is also linked to a longer life, as is taking the pill
- Previous research has found that men also benefit if they have children
If you have ever endured the sleepless nights, endless feeding and constant worrying that comes with having children, you may find this hard to believe.
But having babies can actually mean you live longer.
A UK study found that women who are mothers are 20 per cent less likely to die early at any given point than their childless counterparts.
Breastfeeding is also linked to a longer life, as is taking the pill, according to the research, which studied hundreds of thousands of European women.
Imperial College London researchers analysed data of 322,972 women, finding those with children lived longer
It is thought that the associated hormonal changes with having babies boost heart health and reduce the risk of cancers.
The researchers from Imperial College London analysed detailed data on the lives of 322,972 women from ten European countries, including the UK.
During the 13 years of the study, 14,383 of the women died. Almost 6,000 of the deaths were from cancer and 2,400 were caused by heart disease.
But the scientists found that those who had children were a fifth less likely to have died – with those who had their first baby while still in their 20s seemingly particularly blessed with good health.
The analysis, published in the journal BMC Medicine, also showed that women who had two or three children were less likely to die of cancer than others. As well as this, it revealed that mothers who breastfed were 8 per cent less likely to have died than those who bottlefed their babies.
Finally, women who were taking or had taken the oral contraceptive pill were 10 per cent less likely to die than those who didn’t – as long as they didn’t smoke.
If they smoked, the benefits of the pill on longevity were cancelled out. The study didn’t look at the reasons for the links but it is thought that they can be explained by hormonal changes.
Previous research has credited breastfeeding with cutting the risk of breast cancer, with a year of breastfeeding over a woman’s lifetime cutting her odds of the disease by almost 5 per cent.
They also discovered breastfeeding is also linked to a longer life, as is taking the contraceptive pill
The 12 months do not have to be continuous – and the more months of breastfeeding a woman clocks up, the lower her chances of developing the disease.
This may be because the levels of oestrogen, a hormone that can fuel breast cancer, drop when a woman is breastfeeding. The process may also change the cells in the breast, making them more resistant to the changes that lead to cancer.
Women make less oestrogen when on the pill, while pregnancy may also lead to protective hormonal changes.
The study only looked at women but previous research has found that becoming a parent is also good for male health.
Research has also shown that a couple’s happiness increases with the birth of each child – up to the third.
But, when child number four comes along, levels of satisfaction start to dip.

St. Margaret's Hope
St. Margaret's Cottage is situated at the top of St. Margaret's Hope overlooking the picturesque village.
The howe was built in 1883 with traditional red sandstone by a wealthy whaling sea captain, as were many of the houses in 'The Hope'. In the 2nd World War, the house was commandeered and used as the headquarters for the home guard. Our family purchased it in 1960 and it has been the family home ever since.
St. Margaret's Hope is the third largest settlement in Orkney and is connected to the Orkney mainland by the Churchill barriers, and has been made busier by the start of the RoRo ferry service 'Pentland Ferries' which sails from Gills Bay to St. Margaret's Hope three times a day (four in peak season), so we are ideally based for the early breakfast.
The Hope supports three shops, a post office, two pubs and the award winning creel restaurant. The village also has a nine hole golf course, an excellent bowling green, a tennis court and fitness suite. The island of South Ronaldsay has lovely walks and is renowned for its rich and varied bird life. South Ronaldsay is also home to the Tomb of The Eagles and the Tomb of the Otters at the end of the island.

The exponential growth of internet interconnections has led to a significant increase in cyberattacks with disastrous consequences. Cybercriminals are spending more money, developing more complex malware with better capabilities, and businesses must be aware of what the biggest threats are.
In this article at TechRepublic, Lance Whitney explains that trojans, backdoor, and trojan-droppers are the top most common cyber threats. Let’s understand how they harm your computer network.
Understanding Trojan, Backdoor, and Trojan-Dropper
“A trojan is a type of malware that masquerades as a legitimate program to trick the recipient into running it,” explains Lance. Once you activate the program, a trojan will spy on your activities, set up backdoor access to your device, and steal sensitive data.
The backdoor is a specific type of trojan that infects a device without the knowledge of the user. Once the system is infected, a backdoor will remotely take control over the machine to delete data, execute programs, and steam confidential files.
A trojan-dropper covertly installs additional malware onto a system.
For cybercriminals, using one of these could provide an abundance of data, about the clients and the company. It would give them access to intellectual property or other secrets. However, adequate security software won’t allow a user to open a malicious email attachment or browse malicious links, thereby stopping a backdoor from reaching a computer.
How to Prevent the Attacks?
One way to prevent an endpoint attach is by setting up high endpoint security that combines prevention, detection, and analysis of the root cause of the attack. Another way to combat an endpoint attack is through behavioral analytics. It observes parameters such as network behavior, user behavior, and also looks for tasks and patterns that are beyond organizational norms.
These monitoring techniques will undoubtedly prevent an endpoint attack. To know more about trojan, backdoor, and trojan-dropper, click on https://www.techrepublic.com/article/trojans-backdoors-and-trojan-droppers-among-most-analyzed-cyberthreats/.

A Toner Cartridge Seal Assembly including a gasket, a handle integral with a gasket, and a removable seal lying over the gasket. The handle which is integral with the gasket is in, one embodiment, removable by detaching the handle from the remainder of the gasket along a series of perforations. Alternatively, in another embodiment the handle may be folded over the gasket after the seal assembly is attached to the toner cartridge. The Toner Cartridge Seal Assembly of this invention is used to contain toner in a toner hopper during the transport of a toner cartridge. The removable seal is, in the preferred embodiment, integral with a tail. The tail folds back over the seal and extends outside of the cartridge. Upon arrival at its intended destination the end user pulls the tail removing the removable seal and exposing the toner in the toner hopper to the remainder of the toner cartridge. The invention is usable in both new and rebuilt or remanufactured toner cartridges.
1. A seal assembly for use in a toner cartridge comprising: a stiff gasket having a first side and a second side, a gasket opening in the center of the gasket, and a stiff handle attached directly to the gasket wherein any movement of the handle will cause a corresponding movement of the seal assembly, a removable seal attached to the first side of the gasket covering the gasket opening, and a flexible tail attached to the removable seal.

Toner cartridges are used in a variety of xerographic apparatuses including printers, copiers, facsimile machines, and devices which combine these three functions in a single device. A toner cartridge typically consists of a toner hopper ultrasonically welded to a developer roller housing, and removably attached to a waste bin section. During transportation the toner is confined to the toner hopper by a removable seal. Upon the toner cartridges' arrival at its final destination, the end user removes a seal allowing toner to move from the toner hopper to the developer roller.
Seals are used by original equipment manufacturers to seal new toner cartridges, and are also used by remanufacturers of toner cartridges. A remanufacturer takes a used toner cartridge, cleans it, replaces any worn out components, adds new toner, and then sells the resulting product to an end user as a remanufactured cartridge. Such remanufactured cartridges are typically sold at a discount to new cartridges.
The purpose of the seal is to ensure that toner does not migrate from the toner hopper during shipping. Toner is a fine, dry powder. If it is not confined to the toner hopper it will migrate throughout the package and may damage other components of the cartridge. Such toner migration will also create an esthetically unpleasant mess for the end user. If the toner is not confined to the toner hopper the end user will end up with toner on their hands and clothes.
A variety of seals have been used to seal or reseal toner cartridges. Many OEMs use a heat seal of a single strip of clear plastic material over the toner hopper. The OEM, and many remanufacturers after them, have also used a gasket seal assembly similar to that depicted in U.S. Pat. No. 5,223,068. This seal assembly has a gasket of a stiff material such a polystyrene heat-sealed to a removable seal, typically a polyethylene. The gasket is then attached by glue or other adhesive to the toner hopper sealing surface. The end user pulls on the tail of the removable seal exposing the gasket opening and thus allowing toner to migrate from the toner hopper to the developer roller.
While seals assemblies of this kind are common, they offer challenges particularly to the remanufacturer. The stiff plastic gasket does not seal well. Particularly for narrow cartridges it is difficult to place properly.
The seal assembly disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,223,068 is most easily used where the toner hopper has been separated from the developer roller section as disclosed in that patent.
U.S. Pat. No. 5,523,828 discloses, but does not claim, a gasket seal covered with a seal material. The gasket is described as being made of an open cell foam, and the seal is a polyethylene ribbon material. This patent adds an additional layer of stiff material removably attached to the gasket, which acts as a support or handle to facilitate maneuvering the seal assembly into position.
While the maneuverability of this seal is an advantage over the prior gasket seal, the seal is expensive to construct because of the need for the additional layer of material, which is the support. Furthermore, in order to manufacture this seal assembly this support must be placed on the seal assembly by hand rather than as a step in an automated process. In addition, the layer of stiff material must be removed and thrown away before the cartridge may be used, creating disposal issues. The present invention improves on these seal assemblies by making an easy to maneuver, easy to automate seal assembly. The present invention relates to an improved seal assembly for new toner cartridges as well as for remanufactured toner cartridges.
This invention relates to a seal assembly for toner cartridge used in xerographic devices such as printers, copiers, facsimile machines, and all-in-one devices that combine all three functions. The seal assembly is designed to be easily remaneuverable, and capable of being manufactured in an automated process. The seal assembly is further designed for remanufacturers, although original equipment manufacturers may find the device useful. The seal assembly generally comprises a substantially rigid gasket with a rectangular slot in the center of the gasket forming the gasket opening. A removable seal lies over the gasket. The gasket has a handle formed on one side of it. In the preferred embodiment the gasket and handle are made integrally of the same material. The removable seal is made of a material which tears preferentially in a given orientation. In the preferred embodiment the removable seal is integral with a tail. The end user grasps the handle to maneuver the seal assembly over the toner hopper discharge opening. After the seal assembly is installed, the tail of the seal assembly on the toner hopper is laid back over the removable seal and is placed through an opening between the toner hopper and the developer roller housing. The end user pulls the tail. This causes the removable seal to be removed from over the toner hopper discharge opening. In the preferred embodiment the removable seal material tears in the direction in which the tail is being pulled exposing an opening substantially the same size as the toner hopper discharge opening. The gasket may be thought of as having two sides. In the preferred embodiment the removable seal extends across the width of the gasket slot on the first side of the gasket. On the second side of the gasket is a layer of pressure sensitive adhesive. Over the layer of pressure sensitive adhesive on the opposite side of the gasket parallel to the gasket and the pressure sensitive adhesive layer is a removable release liner.
In one embodiment of the invention the handle is perforated to facilitate removal of the handle after the seal is installed and the handle no longer serves a function. In an alternate embodiment the handle has a layer of adhesive on its surface to allow the handle to be attached to the edge of the seal assembly after the seal assembly is installed by folding the handle over and pressing the handle down, attaching the handle out of the way after it has been used. The handle is sized so as to allow it to be laid over the cover, but not block the area of the cover which is removed when the tail of the seal is pulled.
FIG. 1 is a plan view of the seal assembly of this invention.
FIG. 2 is a plan view of the gasket portion of the seal assembly of this invention.
FIG. 3 is a cross section view of one embodiment of the seal assembly of this invention.
FIG. 4 is an exploded view of one embodiment of the seal assembly of this invention.
FIG. 5 is an exploded view of a toner hopper and developer roller housing after separation.
FIG. 6 is a plan view of another embodiment of this invention.
FIG. 1 shows a plan view of the seal assembly 1 of this invention.
FIG. 2 shows the gasket 2 of the seal assembly. The gasket 2 has a gasket opening 5 running down its lengths.
This gasket opening 5 is sized to be roughly the same size and shape as the toner hopper discharge opening 10. The gasket 2 is substantially rigid to facilitate maneuvering the seal assembly 1 into place using the handle 13. The gasket 2 may be made of a rigid plastic such as polystyrene, or a semi rigid foam, preferably a closed cell foam. The gasket opening 5 is covered by the removable seal 3, which is in turn attached to the tail 4. The removable seal 3 is made of a material such as polypropylene which tears preferentially in a given direction. This ability to tear preferentially may be further increased by embossing the material. The removable seal 3 may be integral with the tail 4, or the tail 4 may be a separate material attached to the removable seal 3. As illustrated in FIG. 1, the tail 4 is integral with the removable seal 3. The removable seal 3 covers the gasket opening 5.
The gasket 2 has a handle 13 attached to it. The handle may be a separate material attached to the gasket 2, but in the preferred embodiment it is made of the same material integral with the gasket. The end user may grasp the handle 13 and move the seal. The seal handle 13 and gasket 2 are sufficiently stiff, that if the handle is twisted, the seal assembly will twist with it. This stiffness allows the end user to maneuver the seal assembly 1 with a single hand. In the preferred embodiment the handle 13 is integral with the gasket 2 and made of the same material. The handle may have perforations 12 dividing it from the gasket 2. The perforations 12 allows the handle 13 to be torn off or removed from the gasket 2 after the seal assembly 1 is placed in position.
An alternate arrangement is depicted in FIG. 6. FIG. 6 also shows a plan view of a seal assembly 1. In this embodiment the handle 13 has an adhesive layer 14 over the handle 13. This adhesive layer 14 is preferably covered by a release liner 16. After the handle 13 is used to place the seal assembly 1 in position the adhesive layer 14 is exposed by removing the release liner 16. The handle 13 may then be folded over the seal assembly 1 and adhered to the seal assembly 1. The handle 13 is sized so as to not cover the gasket opening 5 after it is folded on top of the seal assembly 1 and adhered to it. Although a single handle 13 is shown in the drawings more than one handle 13 may be used.
FIG. 3 shows the seal assembly 1 in cross section. The removable seal 3 is on top in this depiction. The gasket 2 is attached to the removable seal 3, either by a heat seal or other adhesive layer not shown. While the first side of the gasket 2 is attached to the removable seal, the second side of the gasket 2 is attached to an adhesive layer 7. The adhesive layer 7 is then attached to a release liner 6. An operator in use would remove the release liner 6, exposing the adhesive 7. The operator would then grab the handle 13 and maneuver the seal assembly 1 into position over the toner hopper discharge opening 10. The seal is then placed in contact with the toner hopper sealing surface 9. The adhesive layer 7 then securely attached the gasket to the toner hopper sealing surface 9.
FIG. 4 shows a toner hopper 8 and a developer roller housing 11 that have been separated from one another. This separation clearly exposes the toner hopper sealing surface 9 and makes installation of a seal assembly 1 relatively easy. FIG. 5, by contrast, shows a developer roller housing 11 attached to a toner hopper 8. In cartridges of the type depicted in FIG. 5, the toner hopper sealing surface 9 is relatively small and not well exposed. In addition, the slotted section 15 of the toner hopper sealing surface 9 is a narrow gap between the developer roller housing 11 and the toner hopper 8. The seal assembly 1 must be inserted into this slotted section 15. Seals of the type of this invention are particularly useful in this configuration of cartridge because the handle 13 gasket 2 substantially allow the seal assembly to be maneuvered into the slotted section 15 insuring a good seal.
The gasket 2 should be made of a substantially rigid material. This may be a plastic, or cardboard. In the preferred embodiment the removable seal 3 and the tail 4 are made of the same material, and are integral with one another. The preferred material is polyethylene ribbon material with a strand-oriented direction to ensure that the removable seal will tear. Another preferred material is a strand-oriented polyethylene with embossing parallel to the direction of the tear. The tail 4 is approximately the width of the gasket opening 5. By pulling on the tail the end user is able to expose the full gasket opening 5. The removable seal 3 tears in the preferred embodiment, creating an opening approximately the size of the gasket opening 5. The removable seal 3 would also pull entirely away from the gasket 2.
The removable seal 3 is depicted in FIG. 1 and FIG. 6 as being narrower than the gasket 2. Although this certainly may be done, in the preferred embodiment the removable seal 3 extends to the edge of the gasket 2 and indeed over the handle 13. The reason for this construction of the seal assembly 1 is that the layers depicted in FIG. 3 may be laminated in an automatic process. The laminated areas may then cut in one single subsequent process. Thus, in this process the removable seal 3 covers the full width of the gasket 2, including the handle 13. The area of the removable seal 3 that lies on the handle 13 may be kiss cut by allowing for an automated process. The seal may be made inexpensively with fewer components. The adhesive layer 7 is preferably is a pressure sensitive adhesive, although other adhesives may be used to fit the configurations of a manufacturers process. Although this seal is principally used for remanufactured cartridges, they are used by original equipment manufacturers as well.
Although the invention has been described with reference to the drawings and specification above, other embodiments may be readily appreciated by those skilled in the art, and are within the spirit and scope of this invention. The description set forth above should not be read as a limitation on the scope of this invention.

We used to drive out to Pinto Canyon, through Davies Valley, and hike up Pinto Wash to the petroglyphs, maybe a two mile hike. The 1st one we came across, we called the bug man.
Compared to Indian Hill, or most anything on the north side of I-8, these petroglyphs seem unhinged, like the artist did way too much Datura.
Then they passed the Desert Protection Act, shut down Davies Valley to wheeled vehicles, and effectively moved the Mexican Border north three miles.
Because of those early trips, we know where the water is. If you can't find the water, you're doomed. I take that back. You're challenged. You can go without water for a day if you just stay out of the sun. You can move in the morning when its cool, you can move at night. There's just no reason to abandon gear, especially when it really isn't that far out.
There's three or four water sources that are easy to find. Unfortunately, the Illegals, for some reason, crap in the water. I have as yet to have anyone explain the 'why' to me, but considering these springs are the only sources for the local wildlife, you can bet all the Big Horn Sheep have been sucking on human feces.
We know some water sources that are too difficult to get to to defecate into.
That rock structure he came across is not the old stagecoach station. The old station is north of the freeway, its existence long ago destroyed by the freight station that you still can see there. There's another similar structure south and west of the one Robert found, and there was a wood structure next to the water up in the valley above Moon Valley, not too far away from Smuggler's Cave, that burned down not too long ago. Illegals trying to stay warm, started a fire in the old stove, nearly killed themselves. These structures lay pretty much in a line. Most everyone seems to think these were line shacks for sheep or cattle ranchers, although that top one was called the Marshal's Cabin.
The suitcase: I have walked down from above several times, and picked up enough clothes for a run to Amvets. I've got several really nice sweaters for the effort.
I don't know if its kosher, but I've got an article at DUSA, Desert Sprite, (http://www.desertusa.com/mag99/oct/stories/sprite.html). We were trying to hike down to Pinto Canyon from Moon Valley. Didn't go well, but we survived.
Dear Mr. Marcos:
"It looked like the area might have supported a large tribe" Perhaps Kumeyaay? The nearby town of Jacume (Mexico) translates to 'In the middle of the water' in the Kumeyaay language.
You need to study up on NAGPRA Law when handling indigenous artifacts -http://www.nps.gov/history/nagpra/TRAINING/Discovery_Fed%20_Lands.pdf
"I thought it ironic that a Latino would be out here trying to keep other Latinos from illegally entering the United States."
Agent Ramirez is serving the U.S.A. with honor, to prevent the entry of dangerous people (terrorists, MS-13, Surenos, other criminals) and dangerous items (explosives, radiation devices, drugs).
Quite often the Border Patrol Agents save the lives of those that have underestimated the difficulty of the terrain.
About 52% of the Border Patrol Agents identify themselves as Hispanic-Americans. Nothing ironic about good jobs for motivated persons.
"We ditched the lousy tent, sleeping bag, and ground cloth, leaving them for some lucky passerby." Could be littering, but maybe you were focusing upon your survival by then?
Well, I'm glad you survived your expedition into Pinto Canyon. You have some studying to do before attempting another.
Don't sweat the small stuff. If you're looking for more hikes in the immediate area, check out the topo map. Between the east and west bound I-8 lanes, you'll see there's an Island of land that's been isolated for years. If you look there, you'll see a Jeep Trail going down Devil's Canyon. This is the old Freight Route, and it hasn't seen a Jeep on it for thirty years. (www.desertusa.com/mag99/july/stories/dcwalk.html) Cool stuff all along it. Going north underneath the first bridge (if you're walking east) takes you into the backside of the ABDSP. Nice hike, some tight spots.
If you're looking for petroglyphs, cruise up to Moon Valley, walk east until you can't, then turn north, and you'll come across a trail. All along it there's more of what makes Pinto Canyon petroglyphs so creepy. The lads had to have been smoking some good stuff, I tell you. The only question is, are these the real deal or some stoners from the '70's who had some spare time on their hands.

Sauteed Peas w/ Yuzu Kosho- Savoring Every Moment of Life – Last of our Sugar snaps
Peas with yuzu kosho is a great way to enjoy a bright fresh vegetable side dish. The flavors are fantastic.
Peas with Yuzu Kosho Recipe
Even as Spring rolls into Summer, and most of nature is just beginning to take life and flourish, there are those whose lifespan is spent. In seemingly moments ago, they were thriving and full of life and beauty, bringing us joy everyday. Now we have to let go of them, hoping to have their void in our daily lives filled by another. Forever grateful for the sweetness they shared with us.
Our snow peas and sugar snaps are finished. No more early morning munchies as we pull their sweet, green crunch from the vines. The store bought just can’t compare, so we will rarely buy them. We’ve become too spoiled by the best. Better to cling to our homegrown snappers taste lingering on our palates than have the memory diluted by something not as precious.
Soon we will have tomatoes and basil filling the planters where we grew our pea vines. The recent warm, sunny days have exploded their growth and flowers. Silky Kentucky Beefsteaks, sugary Sun Golds and Sweet 100’s, and sexy Anna Russians will soon be a regular staple to our meals. So far we are up to 18 different varieties of tomatoes and all are healthy at this point. Summer is going to be luscious.
But as the pea vines ended, and their textures and flavor became less than prime, we still loved them. Those same peas, if we had bought them at the farmers market or a grocer, we may have moped with disappointment. However we knew these vines. We knew them in their glory.
Now that they were becoming tired and fading, we were still able to appreciate them for what they were. Just as a wrinkled, grey haired face is beautiful for the love shining through the eyes and the stories and life those lines show, our peas were still delicious in their final grace. Even those than had been enveloped in powdery mildew from the funky spring weather.
In the end, as the peas swelled within their pods eventually splitting the sides, their texture lost some of its crunch, becoming more like an English Pea. Fantastic in flavor, well worth the time spent picking and shucking. One last moment to savor.

This week: Zurich Classic of New Orleans, Thursday through Sunday, TPC Louisiana, Avondale, La.
Kelly’s first-round score: 3-under-par 69.
Putnam’s first-round score: 2-under 70.
Position: Kelly is tied for 15th, and Putnam is tied for 33rd – all trailing co-leaders Ken Duke and Cameron Tringale (65).
Recap: Kelly recorded his best opening round in a PGA Tour event this season since his 4-under 68 at the Farmers Insurance Open in late January. And after an early bogey Thursday, he got his round going at the fifth hole when he made a 25-foot chip from in front of the green for birdie – one of four on the day. … Putnam was much sharper in this start than he was last week after an eight-month layoff from PGA Tour action. He hit 14 of the 18 greens in regulation, and went to 3-under after rolling in a 14-foot birdie putt at No. 4 (his 13th hole). He made a late bogey to fall back.
Tee times Friday: Putnam at 6:30 a.m. PDT off the first tee, and Kelly at 6:40 a.m. PDT off the 10th tee.

Worcestershire CCC is delighted to announce that Gareth Andrew has signed a two year contract extension to remain at New Road until the end of the 2013 season.
The 2011 season has been highly successful for the 27 year old, having joined Worcestershire CCC from Somerset CCC in 2008. In the Friends Life t20 campaign, he was Worcestershire Royals second highest scorer with 257 runs, and took 19 wickets. The all-rounder also hit his career best t20 score of 65*, which helped to clinch what looked like an improbable victory against Warwickshire Bears at Edgbaston in June.
His consistent performances during the 2011 season, with both bat and ball, see him currently ranked second in the PCA's Overall MVP rankings behind Marcus Trescothick. Across all forms of cricket this season, Andrew has so far taken 53 wickets and scored 807 runs for Worcestershire CCC.
Andrew said "I am delighted to extend my contract with the Club for another two years. There's a great atmosphere in the dressing room and the team are progressing well for the future. Hopefully we can continue our development to maintain Division One status next year."
Director of Cricket, Steve Rhodes, also commented "To hold on to a player of Gareth's abilities is a huge boost to the Club and our supporters. His career is on an upward curve with the best years ahead of him."

A state-run Russian bank financed an asset sale in 2010 involving President Trump’s partner in a Toronto hotel, The Wall Street Journal reported Wednesday.
Trump’s partner, Russian-Canadian developer Alexander Schnaider, pumped money into Trump’s Toronto hotel after selling his company’s share in a Ukrainian steelmaker. The Russian bank Vnesheconombank (VEB) provided the money for the sale, according to the Journal — a transaction worth about $850 million.
The buyer has not been publicly identified, but two sources familiar with the matter told the Journal that the money was provided by an entity acting on behalf of the Russian government.
Federal investigators are looking into Trump and his associates’ ties with Russian financial institutions, including VEB, which is currently under Ukraine-related sanctions.Trump senior adviser and son-in-law Jared Kushner reportedly met with the chairman of VEB in December.
A Trump Organization spokesman told the Journal that the company did not have any financial dealings with VEB, and Trump himself has repeatedly denied having any ties or dealings with Russia.
The president’s lawyers explained in a letter last Friday that Trump’s tax returns do not show income from Russian sources, with “a few exceptions,” including a property sale worth $95 million to a Russian billionaire.

In order to investigate this concern, the consumer group World Privacy Forum has made two studies regarding AnnualCreditReport.com. Their July 2005 study found that there were 233 domains with names very similar to AnnualCreditReport.com, of which 112 routed users to a variety of unintended destinations, including for-fee services, "link farms" and pornographic sites. The report concluded that the credit reporting agencies and the Federal Trade Commission needed to do more to rein in and shut down impostor sites. A follow-up study from RentPrep found that of the original 112 routed links, only six currently remain.

Although all the four credit information companies have developed their individual credit scores, the most popular is CIBIL credit score. The CIBIL credit score is a three-digit number that represents a summary of individuals' credit history and credit rating. This score ranges from 300 to 900, with 900 being the best score. Individuals with no credit history will have a score of -1. If the credit history is less than six months, the score will be 0. CIBIL credit score takes time to build up and usually it takes between 18 and 36 months or more of credit usage to obtain a satisfactory credit score.
You've probably seen commercials for a "free credit report" (you may recall that guy playing his guitar in the seafood restaurant lamenting his predicament). Be aware that these companies will give you a free credit report and/or credit score initially, but they will also most likely also ask for your credit card number. If you don't cancel within a certain time, they'll charge you for membership.
Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), you are legally entitled to at least one report every 12 months from each of the three major credit bureaus: Equifax, Experian, and Transunion. In addition, the United States Federal Trade Commission (FTC) recommends that you check your credit report at least once a year to prevent identity theft and ensure your information is accurately reported to the credit bureaus.
In most cases, the easiest way to determine the health of your credit is to look at your credit score, a numerical value that reflects a mathematical analysis of your debt, your payment history, the existence of liens or other judgments, and other statistical data collected by the credit bureaus. In other words, your credit score is the compact, simplified version of your entire credit history, all rolled up into one tidy three-digit number.
Even if you feel that you have good credit and are in a good position financially, you should still obtain your individual credit file annually, so you can comb through it and catch any potential problems that the reporting agencies may not have caught regarding identity theft or fraud. Looking for signs of identity theft is just as important as your actual credit report and scores.
Simply put, paying the minimum each month could cost you a lot of money and take forever to pay off. Say you have a credit card with a $1,000 balance and a 14.95 percent interest rate. According to Credit Karma’s debt repayment calculator, if you only paid $25 a month, it could cost you an estimated $393 in interest and take you an astonishing 56 months to pay off.

LOUISVILLE. A new Dynasys auxiliary power unit (APU) model introduced at the Mid-America Trucking Show this week is designed to provide comfort to drivers of both day cabs and sleepers.
The Dynasys SL is an 18-in. wide “automotive-style HVAC” system, the company said, that does not include an AC power generator, allowing it to focus solely on providing operator comfort and climate control inside the cab.
The system employs a belt-driven AC compressor to generate up to 24,000 BTU/hr of cooling power and heat dissipation from its diesel power plant to deliver up to 8,000 BTU/hr of heating strength.
With 25% less weight than the standard Dynasys model and its ability to accommodate both day cab and sleeper cab power units, the new Dynasys SL gives fleets more options, more flexibility and more convenience by providing enhanced in-cab comfort, as they compete to attract and retain drivers.
“At only 18 in. wide, the Dynasys and new Dynasys SL have the thinnest profile of any diesel-powered APUs on the market,” said Terry Nielsen, chief engineer. “With the proliferation of AC inverters in most day cabs and sleeper cabs today, we wanted to provide an alternative APU without self-contained power generating capabilities that would be about 25% lighter and even easier to maintain.”
Both the original Dynasys and new Dynasys SL use a corrosion-resistant stainless steel outer envelope and heavy-duty zinc-plated frame with powder coating. Also unique to the Dynasys brand is its in-cab, touch-screen user interface controller.
To add to operator comfort, the units are also designed with advanced noise reduction technology, keeping them at or below 75 dB under full load, producing about a third less noise than an idling class-eight diesel truck.
Both the original Dynasys and new Dynasys SL are powered by an easily accessed two-cylinder Caterpillar CO.5i diesel engine, boasting an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) rating of Tier-4, the lowest emission rating for its class. Dynasys APUs attach to a power unit’s existing fuel tank and operate on less than one quarter of the diesel fuel needed to idle a class-eight diesel engine.
The Dynasys SL day cab model has a versatile HVAC console with four large multi-directional air vents, two large integrated cup holders and two storage trays. The sturdy, molded plastic and steel construction console also includes a USB charging port and a common 12-volt DC power receptacle.


Labour could derail HS2: £50billion rail link will be axed if costs spiral our of control, vows Balls
- Labour backed HS2 between London and the north in 2010 manifesto
- But costs have soared amid doubts about economic benefits
- Shadow chancellor put new emphasis on 'value for money'
The future of the new high speed rail line was in turmoil last night after Labour threatened to pull the plug on the £50billion project.
Shadow Chancellor Ed Balls shattered the cross-party consensus on the HS2 line, signalling that there would be ‘no blank cheque’ from a future Labour government and that the money could be better spent on housing.
Mr Balls sparked deep divisions in Labour, which originally devised the project, by warning that his party would kill the project unless it proves to be value for money.

Buffers: Labour's shadow chancellor Ed Balls signaled that he thought the £50billion earmarked for HS2 could be better spent elsewhere
His intervention will embolden Tory critics of HS2 – the biggest infrastructure project in British history – who are set to demand an end to the project at their party conference next week.
In his conference speech, Mr Balls said: ‘The question is – not just whether a new high speed line is a good idea or a bad idea, but whether it is the best way to spend £50billion for the future of our country.’
The official cost of the project, including contingency funds, has recently climbed from £33billion to £42.6billion. The cost of new rolling stock will bring that to £50billion but independent experts have warned that the cost could spiral to £70billion or more.
Mr Balls said Labour still backs a new ‘North-South rail link’ but at a fringe meeting last night Mr Balls said: ‘What I’m not going to do is write a blank cheque politically.
Every billion pounds you spend on HS2 is a billion pounds you won’t spend on roads or cross-county train links or building new homes or new schools or new hospitals or other parts of the infrastructure.
He adds: ‘I think it’s about time to inject some hard thinking.’
His deputy Rachel Reeves added: ‘We would cancel if it we did not think it was good value for money.’
Mr Balls’ speech thrilled opponents of the project. Joe Rukin of Stop HS2 said: ‘Ed Balls is dead right to question whether HS2 is worth it.’
But frontbenchers openly suggested he had gone further than Ed Miliband would like. A member of the shadow cabinet said: ‘Ed Balls is much more sceptical about it that Ed Miliband.’ Sources close to the Labour leader said he had read and approved Mr Balls’ speech and claimed the ‘policy hasn’t changed’.
Former Labour transport secretary Lord Adonis, the architect of the project, warned last month that cancelling the project would be an ‘act of national self-mutilation’.
Last night he flatly refused to comment on Mr Balls’ intervention.

But Graham Stringer, a Manchester MP, condemned Mr Balls’ intervention as ‘a huge mistake’. Sir Richard Leese, the Labour leader of Manchester City Council, said: ‘The capacity that HS2 brings is essential to our economic future.’
A Department for Transport spokesman said: ‘HS2 is the right thing to do for the future of the country, which is why it has cross party support.’
Mr Balls also declared himself a proud socialist yesterday. The Shadow Chancellor unveiled plans to give parents of three and four year olds 25 hours of free childcare a week – the £800million costs paid for with a new bank tax. He repeated pledges made earlier this year to match Coalition spending plans for 2015/16 and warned: ‘The next Labour government will have to make cuts too.’
Mr Balls said a Labour government would inherit ‘a very difficult situation’ and would have to show ‘fiscal responsibility in the national interest’.
But Mr Balls’ claims he would exercise ‘iron discipline’ were undermined as he echoed Ed Miliband’s admission at the weekend that his party is ushering in a return to socialism.
The Shadow Chancellor said: Of course, I’ve always used the word socialism,’ he told the BBC.
In his speech, Mr Balls made £7.5 billion of spending commitments, including the childcare pledge, a return of the 10p income tax rate, plans to fund more youth jobs and repeal of the so-called bedroom tax.
But he only offered just over £1 billion of tax rises to pay for the plans.
