' JAMES MMWDk/CKJOA/ United States Patent lVIETAL STAMPING MACHINE James M. Hendrickson, Kittanning, Pa, assignor to The Pannier Corporation, Pittsburgh, Pa., a corporation of Pennsylvania Application April 6, 1953, Serial No. 346,963
8 Claims. (Cl. 101-4) This invention relates generally to stamping machines, and more particularly to a machine for stamping progressively moving pieces of metal such as sheets, slabs, or blooms.
This metal stamping machine may be used for marking cold or hot ferrous or nonferrous metals that are progressively moved in units past the machine. The stamping may be printed with paint, ink, or an impression in the metal. Stamping on polished plates or the like should be printed with paint or ink that preserves the finish. The stamping of unfinished cold slabs or the like may be by either printing or by making an impression thereon. The former is preferable, as the metal, whether soft or hard, would require a considerable pressure blow to properly imprint the indicia in the metal surface.
In the case of hot billets and slabs or other forms of hot metal, having been worked, only a light pressure blow is necessary to put the impression in the metal whether it be ferrous or nonferrous. Sometimes it should be on the face of the article and sometimes. it should be on the side or on the end of the article. The side or end of a slab or bloom is frequently the most desirable place to form an impression in the hot metal. The stamping machine is positioned along a conveyor on which the articles travel. A trip mechanism is actuated by the movement of the article past the stamping station which initiates the mechanism to raise the stamp into operating position and move with the article while striking it.
When the stamp is arranged to strike the rear face of a forwardly moving article to be stamped, the stamping head is extended in line with the path of movement of the article and is then moved forward at a faster rate of speed than the movement of the article so that the head catches up and strikes the forwardly moving article on its rear side. The stamp head is then retracted from the line of movement at the same time that it is drawn back to its original position, thus following a diagonal path, although the initial movement of the stamp head is to first place it in the line of travel of the article before it moves forward to strike the article.
A diiferent character of movement may be made by the stamping head when marking the side on the top of the article. The head is first moved in synchronism with the moving article and then the stamping head is brought over into the path of movement of the article and strikes the same. As the stamp head is withdrawn, it may again be retracted from the vicinity of the path of movement of the article simultaneously with the return of the head to its original position along a diagonal path.
The stamping machine may be controlled by diflferent instrumentalities such as mechanically operated flag switches engaged by the moving articles to be stamped or by photoelectric circuits which operate with a fixed source of light interrupted by the article or by the glow from the hot metal itself. The latter form of control 2,776,617 Patented Jan. 55, 1&5?
is very reliable. The hot metal article control is employed herein to illustrate the principles of this invention.
The stamping head may be provided with fixed indicia, or it may have a counter on which consecutive numbers may be caused to occur for stamping consecutive pieces passing along in production.
The operation of the device may be by spring or electric servomotors, but the fluid operated servomotors are advantageous, and particularly the pneumatically operated servomotors, as they provide sufficient pressure to strike and properly impress the indicia on the metal but are insufficient to cause the stamp head or arm to be broken. The operating air acts as a cushion transmitted through the arm and stamphead. The pneumatic actuation is quick in response to the controls and has a wide operating range. It also lends itself to a reversing control in this disclosure.
Other objects and advantages appear hereinafter in the following description and claims.
The accompanying drawing shows, for the purpose of exemplification without limiting the invention or claims thereto certain practical embodiments of the invention wherein:
Fig. l is a diagrammatic view showing the structure in combination with the circuit for controlling the same.
Fig. 2 is a plan view of the structure positioned beside the articles to be stamped and showing the article just passing beyond the stamping machine which is about to be actuated.
Fig. 3 is a view showing the arms swung into position in line and trailing the article.
Fig. 4 is a view showing the stamp striking the article to impress the indicia on the same.
Fig. 5 is a view showing the arm being retracted to the position as shown in Fig. 2.
Referring to the drawings, the stamping machine is mounted on a base or in the casing 1 which is positioned alongside the conveyor 2 on which the articles 3 are moved in the direction indicated by the arrows. In the exemplification illustrated, the articles are assumed to be sutficiently hot to give off a glow for the purpose of initiating the operating of the stamping machine. The articles may not be sufficiently hot to flow or get out of shape, but they are relatively soft, and when struck with a stamp, will retain the indicia impressed thereon.
As the articles move along the conveyor their stamping is controlled electronically, the glow from their heat is directed against the light responsive means or the shielded photoelectric mechanism, as indicated at 4. When the glowing article just passes beyond the range of the light responsive means, an impulse is given. This impulse is received by the amplifying means 5 which energizes the relay 6 to close a circuit from the heel 7 to the front contact 8, from whence the current will flow from the source of supply 10, through the line 11, the heel 7, and the front contact 8, line 12., to the relay A, and from the other side of the relay to the ground return as indicated in 13. This energizes the relay A and closes the contact heel 14 to the front contact 15 that is connected to the line 16 to the heel 17 to relay B and also closes heel 20 to front contact 21. Since relay B is not as yet energized, no current passes through this circuit.
However, current does flow from the source it) through the line 11 to the switches 27 and 39. With the switch 2'7 connected to contact 26, the current flows from the line 11, the switch 27, line 25, back contact 24 of the pneumatic pressure responsive switch C, heel 23, line 22, front contact 21, and the now energized relay A through heel 20, line 12, to relay A. This is a stick circuit to maintain relay A energized, and it can only be deenergized ice by the opening of the pneumatic switch C or limit switch 27.
if switch 23 is closed to contact 30 as shown, current also flows through the line 11, the limit switch 28, to the point 33*, the line 31 which energizes the coil 32 in the servomotor 33 to exhaust the left end of the cylinder 35 through the pipe line 34.
Relay A is actuated from an impulse of relay 6 and when relay 6 again drops, relay A has sufiicient time to close its stick contact 21, Relay B becomes energized through the line 36 and ground return 13 when relay 6 deenergizes. This picks up and closes the front contact 18 and permits the current to be supplied through the line 37 to the operating coil 38 of the cylinder 49, causing its piston 41 to move outwardly, the piston 42 being pi"- otally connected to the arm 42 which is on the end of the sleeve 43 that holds the non-round rod 44.
When the piston 41 is moved forwardly out of the cylinder 40, the rod 44 is caused to be rotated swinging the arm 45 into the path of the articles after the impulse relay 6 drops out and thus energizes relay B. Relay B becomes energized through source of supply 10, the line 11, to the heel of the switch 27, to the contact 26, through the line 25, and back contact 24 and heel 23, to line 22, to the front contact 21, and heel contact 26, through line 12, from whence it continues to supply the needed current to maintain relay A energized and at the same time supply a current through the heel Contact 14, the front contact 15, line 16, the heel contact 17 of relay B and the front contact 18, line 37 to energize the coil 38, and it returns through ground. This causes the piston 41 to move forwardly and move the arm in the position as shown in Fig. 3 with the arm extended in the position to where the stamp is immediately to the rear of the article and the article is continuing to move. When the piston 4-1 rotates the rod 44 and completes its stroke, it strikes the limit switch 47, thus conducting current through the line 37 to the line 48 which supplies current to the coil 50 that energizes the cylinder 35 causing the rod 44 to be moved to the left. The cnergization of the rod moves sufficiently fast to catch up to the article and smack the stamp 26 against the rear face thereof as illustrated in Fig. 4.
When the stamp engages the article, it induces sufficient resistance to movement causing the air to momentarily build up in the rear of the cylinder 35 and also in the pipe line 51 so as to actuate the fluid pressure responsive device C owing to this excessive pressure. The actuation of C opens the back contact 24 and closes the front contact 52 which allows current to travel from the source through line 11 and the front contact 52, the heel 53, the line 54 from whence it energizes the coil 55 at the right end of the cylinder 35 to release the air therein and close off the operating air. Line also energizes the coil 56 to apply air at the opposite end of the cylinder 35 to retract the rod 44, and at the same time to energize the coil 57 to energize the cylinder 40 and return it.
As the rod 44 is being retracted from the vicinity of the article, it is not only being drawn backwardly into the cylinder 35, but the arm is also being rotated to a position out of the path of the movement of the articles. The arm simultaneously swings back out of the road, and at the same time it is being withdrawn as illustrated in Pig. 5, thus retracting along a diagonal path. When the arm has completed its return stroke and the limit switch 27 is swung in the oppositc direction, current is supplied from the line 11 through the switch 27 to the line 54 to insure the completion of the return stroke of the piston 41. The arm 45 is pivotally connected to the rod 44- as indicated at 49in Figs. 3, 4 and 5 to permit the arm to swing forwardly if an arm catches up and strikes the back thereof.
When the pressure responsive device C opens its contact 24, relay A is deenergized, which in turn deenergizes the line 37.
If the rod 44 does not move to the full extent of its travel because the stamp strikes the article before the rod has an opportunity to move through its full stroke, then the switch actuating mechanism 60, attached to the rod 4-4, will not strike the limit switch 27, and the latter remains in the position as indicated in Fig. 1. If, how ever, the pressure does not build up sufficiently to interrupt the movement of the rod 44, the switch actuating mechanism 60 will strike the switch 27 and move the same from contact 25 to contact 61 at which time energy will be supplied from the source 10, through the line 1.1, and the switch 27, to the line 54, where it energizes the coils 57 and 56 to return both scrvomotors 33 and 40 simultaneously. As the rod 44 is moved to the right in retracting the arm 45', the member 66 strikes the switch 23 causing the same to close its contact 23 and energize the coil 32 which exhausts the air from the left end of the cylinder 35.
As shown in Fig. l, the pneumatic supply is indicated at 52 wherein the air is admitted to the solenoid control valves 63 and 64 which are operated by the coils 50, 55, 32, and 56 respectively. The coils 50 and 56 being employed to energize the respective ends of the cylinder 35, whereas the coils 55 and 32 exhaust the air to the respective ends of the cylinder. The air likewise travels from the source 62 to the valve 65 for operating the piston 41 in cylinder 40.

The location of the flat is very good. It is close to the boat stop and to a walking area as well.
The arrangement of the flat is appropriate. The bedrooms are separated from the kitchen and from the bathroom.
The beds are comfortable the kitchen is well equipped.
In a nutshell we were very pleased with this appartement and can recommend it as a good accommodation.
Peter Kövecses from Hungary
The flat is very confortable, and extremelly well situated, at the heart of venice. Marco (Valentina assistant) who received us is very efficient and polite. For sure a good choice.
A lovely accommodation close to Rialto (5 min away walking) and with all the necessary facilities around it. Very quiet in the night, it has two double room and a living room with a double bed futon .... more than enough to sleep up to 6 adults if needed! We were a family of four and the two kids were able to have their own room. The kitchenette has a nice view over a small canal (which is the picture posted on the site) and we enjoyed sitting at the small table in the evening drinking Prosecco and watching people walking and chatting over the little bridge. Al in all a very positive experience with only one recommendation: it would be good if the two air conditioning units could have their exhaust pipes permanently fixed on the wall with an outside hole. Having to keep the windows open for the hot air to be disposed reduced dramatically the efficiency of the air conditioning and we were never able to properly cool down the apartment.
LOCATION.....Very Good. Nice quite location just around the corner from San Marcuola Casino Vaporetto stop which provides easy access to the rest of the attractions.
ACCOMMODATION ..... A little on the sparse side but clean with everything you would need. The property maintenance could be improved. When we arrived there were several lights out, the towel rail in the small bathroom would not turn off making it unpleasantly hot. The shower was a disaster. It leaked, would not stay on the mounting rail due to the wrong fittings being used, one of two air con units was unusable due to the noise it made.
VALUE FOR MONEY......Not bad. Our stay would have been so much better had the apartment been assessed and repairs carried out prior to our arrival.
The phone number you have in the confirmation is not usefull. You let messages and nobody is calling back. You ak for an invoice and there is no invoice available....
The meeting is delayed over 11pm by "Valentina" and qhe ask you 20because it is late
However good district
Super spacious, great location!!! But wifi is not working during our stay.
Very nice apartment in centre Venice, within walking distance from everything. The apartment was very clean and had everything a self-catering place should have. Marco was great, he explained everything and gave us useful information and maps. I would definitely recommend this apartment.
Spacious apartment. Very near the Grand Canal which you can see if you lean out of the window. There are some maintenance issues which need addressing.
The property is surely not few steps away from San Marco as stated. The facilities are very minimal . There is no one to ask for advice or help if needed urgently, we were met by a guy called Marco who took us to the flat, of course we were charged for all the services.
This flat is a bit over stated.
Our stay was perfect, everything were working well, the place was clean, safe and full of equipaments.
The reception person was very educated and helpful.
We recomend to stay in Valentina's apartament en Venice.

New features and a new appearance are coming to YouTube. One of the features of the iOS and Android apps is the ability to pinch to zoom into a video. The movie will remain zoomed in even after you withdraw your fingers. That seems like a practical choice for anyone about to pore into Taylor Swift’s most recent music videos in search of Easter eggs. Since testing the pinch-to-zoom function with Premium customers began in August, everyone will now be able to use it.
You should be able to access the proper section of a video with the aid of a further feature. When scrolling through a movie on desktop or mobile, you can swipe up or drag your cursor up to see a row of thumbnails (a bit like you might see on Netflix). This should prevent you from going too far back in a tutorial when you want to replay a step, as suggested by YouTube.
On the visual side, a new ambient mode modifies the app’s backdrop colour to match the video. In a blog post, YouTube UX director Nate Koechley explains this as a subtle effect that makes use of dynamic colour sampling to lure viewers’ eyes into videos and increase their attention to the content.
Video playlists will also support ambient mode. When the dark theme is activated, ambient mode will be visible on watch pages for mobile and the web. In light of this, the dark mode will soon appear considerably darker on desktop, mobile, and smart TVs.
In other places, buttons will now be placed next to YouTube links in video descriptions. To “minimise distractions,” the service has also changed popular activities like “like,” “share,” and “download.” The subscribe button will also look different; rather to being rectangular, it will now be shaped like a pill. YouTube claims that the high-contrast revamp will make the button stand out more on watch pages and channel sites even if it won’t be red anymore.
Today, YouTube will start implementing these modifications. Within the following two weeks, everyone should be able to access them.

Living a healthy life is not always easy and getting into a new, healthy routine can take a lot of energy. However, you can alter your lifestyle with small changes to improve not only your health but also help you to feel better about yourself.
We found 5 simple ways to live a healthier life.
1. Exercise more often
By now everyone knows that exercise is vital for living a healthy life. But in the busy world that we live in, hitting the gym isn’t always an option. In your daily routine, try to incorporate some form of exercise. Instead of taking the elevator or escalator, use the stairs and try to walk instead of catching a cab. In the office, try walk around instead of sitting down the whole time (this is also good for blood circulation and might help you think clearer!). Of course if you have the time you can join a gym, fitness class or sports team but aim to participate regularly. Joining fitness activities will not only keep you in shape, it will also keep you social.
2. Eat more good things
Fresh fruit and vegetables are always essential for a healthy body. Try incorporating your greens into your diet everyday—even if you blend them into a juice or smoothie and have them on the go. Likewsie, remember to drink a lot of water and avoid drinking too much alcohol and caffeine. It is important to have a lot of protein in your diet so if you are a vegetarian, ensure that you eat plenty of high protein foods or even consider a protein supplement. Eating healthily will not only help you stay in shape, it will also keep your hair, nails, bones and teeth healthy. If you your diet is balanced, you will have more energy and less cravings.
3. Supplement where necessary
It is difficult to always get the right nutrition, the necessary vitamins and essential minerals so you might want to look into high quality supplements. The most important ones to think about are daily multi-vitamins and then perhaps other basic supplements such as calcium, fish oil or iron boosters. Luckily supplements are quite affordable these days and very easy to get hold of. Remember to shop around and look for good quality products.

Sony would have registered a patent for an artificial intelligence system that can play the games for you, imitating your movements
It is common for companies patents new technologies that could work in the future. It was recently revealed that Sony registered a artificial intelligence system which can play the games for you.
This new tool would copy the movements of the gamers to be able to imitate his game and thus be able to predict the decisions he would make.
The New Web revealed that a division of PlayStation has been working on this technology since 2017. Which is intended more for developers than to replace players.
According to the first reports the artificial intelligence system I would be observing the games of the player analyzing each movement that he makes as he progresses in the different games.
This with the intention of being able to learn their movements and the way in which the user makes his decisions, in this way if the user wishes the artificial intelligence can play for him.
The patent indicates that the system would allow the person to order it to complete some tasks for the user. Including some that are very difficult for the player.
If for some reason a player is unable to complete a game the artificial intelligence could help to overcome the level and continue to enjoy the videogame. This way the frustrations for not being able to pass a task would end.
The use of this system would be completely optional. According to the patent it could also be used in multiplayer mode. So that “the companions of the game can continue playing with you during periods of time in which the player is not available”.
So far no more details about the artificial intelligence system that it can play the games for you, but it could be an interesting tool that would give the gamers new options.

Two wins in a row have put Raiders second in their division right behind Chiefs.
Soon they will play Kansas and they may regain top place if Mahomes plays poorly.
Somehow the rest of the team should play his level.
This is the team that offer AB $50 mil included $30 mil guarantee to run and catch the ball.
Gruden should be thrilled knowing his team has won five matches so far.
Raiders will play Bengals and then Jets.
They should be 7-4.
December first they will meet again with Kansas.
At the beginning of the season they lost to Chiefs.
That should be a redemption game right there.
Oakland for the last time can breath playoffs.
Next year Raiders will be in Nevada, in the city of light.
I am pretty sure they will lost a lot of fans but many more will join and the trip is not too far for the fans to go see their team plays.
Hopefully Carr can stay out of QB trouble and wheel his team to victory.
Couple more wins potentially will arrange their opportunity to advance.
It will not be easy.
Defense and a mixture of running game should help Carr deliver.

Former Senate President, Dr. Abubakar Bukola Saraki, has stated that when he opposed the plan to foist a Muslim-Muslim presidency on Nigeria in 2014, he acted in the national interest and believed Nigeria was bigger than anybody’s ambition, including that of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
During his outburst in Abeokuta on Thursday, June 2, Tinubu had said Saraki opposed the Muslim-Muslim ticket before the 2015 election for selfish reasons.
According to Tinubu; “Buhari asked me to be his running mate, but Saraki campaigned against a Muslim-Muslim ticket. He felt it would affect his ambition to be senate president. The senate president could not be a Muslim as well.
“They rose against it. I said ‘I have someone that’s a Christian and I will nominate him. This party must not scatter’. And I nominated Osinbajo. That’s the truth.”
In his counterpoint to Tinubu’s remarks, Saraki, in a statement signed by the head of his Media Office, Yusuph Olaniyonu, noted that he will oppose any plan that causes a religious crisis in a multi-religious country like Nigeria.
He added that Tinubu’s version of events is incorrect and mischievous.
“When I and other leaders of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in 2014 stood against having a Muslim-Muslim ticket, it was not a decision targeted at any individual or group but one taken in the national interest. Asiwaju knows this and he is just being mischievous by presenting this decision as something aimed at stopping his ambition,” Saraki said.
“Let me make it clear that the decision to oppose the plans by some people to make APC present a Muslim-Muslim ticket in 2015 was in the national interest and I will take the same stand today, tomorrow, and any other day. My stance is based on the fact that such a ticket is not good for the unity of the country and will further accentuate one of our fault lines.
“Even Asiwaju Tinubu knows that I am a man who does not shy away from standing for what is right. He knows that I don’t follow the crowd and I take a stand based on my conviction of what is good for the country and what is not good for her. It is also obvious that I have paid prices for this stand.
“The opposition to a Muslim- Muslim ticket was not targeted at Tinubu or any other person. It was a decision that even all party leaders know helped the victory of the party and also worked for the unity of the country. That decision is not about self but national and collective interests. It is a decision which served the purpose of the people of Nigeria and I have no regret supporting it”, Saraki stated.
While expressing surprise that Tinubu refused to move on and still sulked over what happened in 2014, the former Governor of Kwara added that the APC presidential aspirant had become so fixated on the Muslim-Muslim ticket issue of 2014 that he worked so hard to stop the emergence of Saraki as Senate President in a move he considered as retaliatory.
Saraki also stated that after he was elected Senate President, Tinubu maintained an adversarial position against the eighth National Assembly, initiated covert and overt measures aimed at undermining the federal legislature, and set the executive against the legislature.
“Despite calling himself a democrat, he continued to support every effort to frustrate the eighth National Assembly and thwart its efforts to provide good representation to Nigeria. He was the architect of several moves that set the Presidency on a collision course with the National Assembly.
“At a time, he would twist issues and make false claims in his quarterly press statements aimed at making the National Assembly under my leadership look bad. Now, Nigerians know the truth. We can only urge Senator Tinubu to look at the bigger picture on all matters and stop viewing all issues within the prism of his ambition and personal interest”, Saraki added.

He recently sat down with Hollywire's own Chelsea Briggs to talk about the opportunity, touring with Greyson Chance and Cody Simpson and even taking his turn in the Hollywire Hot Seat!
Shane still isn't sure how he managed to snag the gig opening up for Carly Rae, but thinks it may have had to do with his recent cover of Call Me Maybe in concert. "After you play for a while, you like to mix things up," he said. "Sometimes we pick covers that we’ve never done before and do them on stage during the performance. We ended up doing Call Me Maybe and a week later (my manager) was like, "You’re opening for her in LA!"
This time around, Shane won't be playing the elder role backstage to 26-year-old Carly Rae -- which he said he did, when touring with Greyson and Cody a few years ago. "I felt like the old guy because they were really young," he said. Greyson was 13 and Cody was 14. They were riding skateboards and I was like, 'You're gonna hurt yourself!' Who knew Shane was a nurterer?!
Shane took his turn in the Hollywire Hot Seat for a round of 20 questions to wrap things up, where he admitted belting out Katy Perry in the shower and revealed that he has a motorcycle license. Hot! Check out our interviews with him and the video for his latest single Dancin' In The Rain!

Union leaders meet Jane Hutt ahead of pensions strike
Leaders of four unions in Wales whose members are set to strike on Thursday are calling on the finance minister to put their case to the UK Government.
They are meeting Jane Hutt to explain why 40,000 public sector staff in Wales are taking action over pension changes.
They want her to make representations to Welsh Secretary Cheryl Gillan and other ministers.
The Welsh Government said it was focused on minimising the impact of any industrial action.
Members of three teaching unions - National Union of Teachers (NUT), Association of Teachers and Lecturers (ATL) and University and College Union (UCU) - and the Public and Commercial Services Union (PCS) are taking industrial action in Wales from midnight.
Nearly half of Wales' 1,800 schools will be affected.
The walkout by other public sector workers is also expected to hit government departments including the DVLA, the pension service, the court service and the passport office.
The National Library of Wales in Aberystwyth and National Museum Wales will also be closed if the strike goes ahead, while a walkout by immigration and customs officers is expected to cause disruption at Cardiff Airport.
Prime Minister David Cameron made another call for the action to be called off during Prime Minister's Questions on Wednesday.
PCS National Officer for Wales Peter Harris has asked for the 1430 BST talks with Ms Hutt for the unions to explain why Welsh Government staff are going on strike.
He said: "We are meeting the Welsh finance minister to ask her to make representations from the Welsh Government to the UK Government and to support our case for meaningful negotiations.
"We accept that it's not a dispute of the Welsh Government's making but clearly ministers need to know what's happening and why.
"I'm optimistic that the first minister or the finance minister will make representations in the talks they have with the UK Government about the concerns they have about public sector pensions.
"There are significantly more public sector employees in Wales as a proportion of the workforce in Wales than in other parts of the UK."
Wales TUC General Secretary Martin Mansfield will lead the delegation of the union regional officers meeting Ms Hutt.
The Welsh Government insists the unions are in dispute with ministers in Westminster about the proposed changes to public sector pensions, not with ministers at Cardiff Bay.
Welsh Government ministers are expected to work as usual if the strike goes ahead but not to cross any picket lines.
In a statement, they said: "Pensions are not a devolved matter, and the focus of the Welsh Government is now to minimise the impact of any industrial action on our public services."

Cat Flap Fitter Newtownards Northern Ireland (BT22): Fitting a cat flap to an outside door or wall in your house in Newtownards, will enable it to live a life of contentment and enjoy it's own little bit of freedom and independence. Cats that are kept inside, just like people, will show signs of frustration. Giving your pet access to the world outside by way of a cat flap can also help in keeping them mentally and physically fit. But, what style of cat flap is better in your case?
Essentially, a cat flap at its most basic is simply that. A piece of flexible material hung over a hole in a doorway to permit a cat to climb through, but keep the elements out. Most Newtownards cat owners would favour something a tad more weatherproof and secure for a main door to their property, although this could be appropriate for an outhouse door or garden fence panel.
This uncomplicated model can be improved upon with magnetic strips to hold the flap in position, however it's still a long way off being perfect as it allows other cats or animals a means by which to enter your property.
A step up from the magnetic strip pattern are infra-red or RF chip, magnetically operated cat flaps. With this form of cat flap, your cat will need to wear a collar featuring a magnet, IR or RF chip. Unless an animal is fitted with this special collar, it will not be able to open the flap and get into or leave your property, hence keeping out some undesirable visitors. The downside here is that any other moggy in the Newtownards area that's got a similar collar can get into your home when using this type of cat flap. Even these cat flaps can be upgraded to a certain degree with an RF cat flap/collar system offering an owner programmed unique identifier.
The next stage in feline access security is to choose a cat flap that can be triggered by your cat's microchip. You need to enter the number of your cat's micro-chip into the memory the cat flap (which is powered by batteries), and if you have more than one pet it will take multiple entries. When your cat comes in the vicinity of the flap, it will unlock and allow solely your micro-chipped pets to enter/exit.
The ability to lock it in place is important whichever cat flap you are buying. For extra flexibility, nearly all cat flaps feature a 4-way locking mechanism these days. Which means that the cat flap can permit exit only, allow only entrance into your house, be fully locked, or be set for two-way entry and exit. This will give you a range of options on precisely how your cat flap operates any time of the day and night time. Based on yours and your pet's requirements, there is even the option to carry out specific functions in accordance with the time of day, with several of the high end models.
If you've got a wooden door on your home in Newtownards, installing you own cat flap should not be all that complicated. But, if you're hoping to fit it into a double glazed window panel or in a reinforced PVC door, you should ask for outside help. Such situations call for the skills and expertise of a reputable cat flap fitter or odd job man, who is sure to have have all the tools and knowledge for this kind of installation.
INSTALLING CAT FLAPS IN NEWNewtownardsARDS
Double Glazing Installation - If you hire somebody who endeavours to drill a hole in a double glazed panel to install your cat flap, stop them immediately and request that they leave. It's simply not possible to mount a new cat flap into a double glazed window pane or door panel. Any sort of double glazing will be damaged by cutting into it, and will take away its strength, security and insulating properties. It should under no circumstances be attempted and will make the double glazing unsafe.
It is necessary to obtain a new double glazed panel made specially for this purpose by a glazing firm, and your chosen Newtownards cat flap installer will take the measurements of your existing panel and order the new one. As part of its structure this new double glazing panel will have a pre-cut hole, which your cat flap can be fitted perfectly into. This is basically the only way to fit a cat flap into an existing patio or double glazed door, although it may take one or two weeks to manufacture. As soon as your new pane of glass shows up, the fitter will remove the old one, and replace it with the brand new "cat flap ready" one. It's now possible to fit the cat flap.
External Wooden Doors - The simplest alternative for installing a new cat flap in Newtownards, as was stated earlier in this article, are wooden doors. If you are hesitant about cutting a hole in your front or back door, it's a good move to call on a professional to do the job for you. An undertaking like this should not be expensive and will give you the satisfaction of knowing that your pet will be using a professionally installed flap.
uPVC Door Panels - uPVC doors can be used for installing a cat flap. However, some uPVC door panels are lined with steel for further security, which can cause some problems. A one-piece panel allows for simpler installation, so if you have a slatted type uPVC door panel, it may be cheaper to swap the panel for a single pane style.
Wall Installation - If, for aesthetic or security reasons, you don't wish to have a hole cut into a door, you could always elect to install the cat flap in an exterior wall of your house. Calling for much more expertise and equipment, a wall cat flap installation is undoubtedly best left to a specialist, if it's to be accomplished correctly. You could go for a straight through tunnel style, or even a right angled model which permits entry through a pillar. Installation entails a square hole being cut through your wall, into which a plastic or metal, open ended square insert is fitted. A cat flap is then installed on both ends of the hole.
Replacing an Existing Cat Flap in Newtownards - If you already have a cat flap installed on a window, wall or door, but it's broken or not functioning properly, the current hole can, with luck, still be used for installing a new one. Your cat flap installer will be able to remove the unwanted cat flap, without harming the window, door or wall, and install a brand new flap in its place for your cat.
When the cat flap installation involves insertion into a pre-cut hole in a double glazing panel, it will be important to make sure that this was previously done correctly, before attaching the new cat flap. If it's found that corners were cut with the previous installation, the pane will need to be removed and replaced to avoid any safety and security issues with the new flap.

As the long summer days wind down and give way to a cooler temperature and changing seasons into autumn, your indoor houseplants enter a different phase of growth that requires your intentional effort and attention. Transitioning your indoor garden for the autumn months requires a thoughtful approach to ensure the well-being of your planty friends. With the changing light, temperature, and humidity conditions, it’s important to adapt your care routine accordingly. In this guide, we’ll explore five essential tips to help you take care of your plants and navigate the nuances of fall plant care, ensuring that your plants thrive and remain healthy throughout the season.
Reduce watering plants in cooler months
As we enter the cooler months, many houseplants will want to enter their dormant phase. They will slow down in growth during these colder periods. It is important to reduce watering during this time. Too much water during this period could result in root rot. A good way to ensure you are not over watering is to only water when the soil is dry two inches in depth. You can easily test this by pushing your finger two inches deep into the soil and feeling for moisture.
Watering plants at room temperature will ensure the plants roots aren’t shocked.
Maximize light exposure for your indoor plants
During winter, the window of daily sunshine decreases. As a result, leaveing your plants in their regular positions could lead to a lack of sunlight. If you can, move your plants to west or south facing window sills during the winter. It is also a good idea to rotate your plants every week during periods of low sunlight to stop them from growing out in the direction of the source of sunlight.
Clean your windows inside and out to ensure that the maximum amount of light is able to penetrate.
Regularly clean plant leaves
Like everything else indoors, the plants’ leaves will accumulate a layer of dust over time. Either wiping the leaves or giving them a lukewarm shower will ensure you take the layer of grime and dust off. With the dust removed, the leaves will more efficiently photosynthesis the sunlight they bask in.
Monitor humidity and indoor temperature levels
The majority of houseplants originate from tropical regions and as such thrive in conditions of higher humidity. In a heated home, humidity levels will drop to between 10 and 20 percent. When houseplants prefer a humidity of around 50%, it is important to do what you can to increase humidity. To easily increase humidity, it is a good idea to place a bowl of rocks under your plant pots that you can fill with water to just below the top line of the rocks. This will cause the water to evaporate without soaking the soil, allowing the plant to be in a more humid environment.
Houseplants like temperatures around 50-70°F. It is important to research the specific plants you have and identify the range that would best suit them. It’s also important to decrease the chances of temperature swings affecting your plants. You wouldn’t want to leave the majority of houseplants next to a radiator or fireplace, nor would you leave one in the path of the cold draught from an air conditioning unit.
Fertilize plants sparingly in cooler months
Houseplants generally experience slower growth during the fall and winter. Reduce the frequency of fertilization, or switch to a balanced, diluted fertilizer. Over-fertilizing can harm your plants, so err on the side of caution and follow the recommended dosage.
Houseplants can make a space come to life and feel extra special. Hopefully you will be inspired to go out and pick up some houseplants for your own space. With the tips provided here, you should now be able to care for them and watch them grow for years to come.
The needs of individual plant species may vary, so always refer to specific care guidelines for each type of houseplant you have.

College freshman Justine (Lorenza Izzo) decides to join the student activist group to help save the Amazon rainforest. Her roommate Kaycee (Sky Ferriera) disapproves of this and recommends against it, especially when Justine decides to join the group led by Alejandro (Ariel Levy) on a trip to stop the bulldozing. Justine believes she’s doing the right thing and everything will be fine. However, when the group’s plane crashes in the jungle, they soon learn about the tribe that lives there, and they soon find themselves entering into a nightmare.
Directed by Eli Roth, The Green Inferno is the latest cannibalistic horror film to grace the theater screen. When I saw the trailers for this, it looked like it could have had a strong Cannibal Holocaust vibe, and it did a decent job of building tension without really showing anything. Unfortunately, the outcome I received was not what I was expecting from the trailers. For the most part, the film had a really good build up until the main events took place. We got to know the characters and their mission (I can’t stand activists, so I will keep those feelings at bay), and for the most part, all except for two of the characters were likable and it does suck seeing them go. Along the way we have some genuinely funny moments that added even more likability to the characters. However, after the first kill (which was fantastic), that’s when it starts to go downhill. With how brutal and excellent the first kill was (which had fantastic effects by the way), I was expecting everything afterwards to be just as good, if not maybe even better. This was not the case. After the first kill, the deaths become very generic and boring and nothing I would deem very disturbing except for maybe one other kill towards the end, and quite a few missed opportunities to actually add more disturbing moments. To add to this, there ended up being a bunch of humor in it that took away what I was expecting from the film. I admit I did laugh at those moments, but essentially I was expecting a full-blown horror movie that was going to try and disturb its audience to the core. The laughs were effective, but for me it ruined the horror. Even if this was intentional on Eli Roth’s part, I felt it wasn’t necessary. Then there is the ending to tack onto that. The ending had me furious with how it played it out. I don’t know if the ending, along with the comedy was meant to make the film a satire of some sorts involving activism, but regardless it didn’t work for me at all. Though, despite that, and along with the well-done effects of the kills, the portrayal of tribe was genuinely unsettling, but then of course you have the black sheep that shows care towards our main character (bleh). There is also a mid credits bonus scene that I’m assuming was set up for a sequel, but in the end it was completely unnecessary.
The cast as a whole does a great job. Lorenza Izzo provides likability in our leading lady, but there were times when I found her kindness nauseating as well as her hissy fits. She also expresses some great fear in a lot of the scenes that require it. Ariel Levy is excellent as the head activist, and nails his role as the douchebag and easily becomes one of the most despicable characters in a horror film. But most of all, the person that stood out the most to me was Sky Ferreira as Justine’s best friend and roommate. In the limited screen time she had, she was extremely charismatic, funny, and came off as real and almost the voice of reason in the film (at least to me). As much as I wanted to see more of her, I am glad that she didn’t go too far into the story.
The Green Inferno was a film that had such promise to bring some genuine terror to audiences with how well the death effects were and the talent of Eli Roth, a great cast, and well developed characters. However, this is all brought down with missed opportunities, some eye-rolling cliches, the over-abundance of humor (intended or not), and one awful ending.

Prioritizing urban nature
Cathy explores the mental, physical and social health benefits of time spent in nature. Given the fact that people spend increasing amounts of time in urban environments, she continues to search for effective ways to promote interactions with nature and ensure that communities put a priority on maintaining urban nature.
Cathy’s doctoral research at the University of Waterloo's School of Planning focused on finding ways to improve the connections between children, nature and community in urban settings. She gathered children’s perceptions of and interactions with urban nature, and examined ways to engage children and youth in community decision-making and planning.

INTO THE WIND
Penn State's opening script called for quarterback Daryll Clark to come out throwing and quickly shake the rust from his week off and the concussion he sustained at Ohio State. Head coach Joe Paterno said the staff debated changing plans when his team opened the game playing offense into a 25-mph wind but decided against it.
Instead, both he and quarterbacks coach Jay Paterno blamed execution for the opening three-and-out series. Clark was pressured, and hit, on each play, and the series ended with Clark recovering his own fumble near the goal line.
"Both of those passes [on first and second down] should have been complete, but [Clark] got hit as he was throwing," Jay Paterno said. "We had problems with protections."
As an addendum, Joe Paterno said that the staff also debated having the wind at their backs for the fourth quarter but instead chose to take it for the third and try to "put it away" then. "We didn't get the job done," the head coach said.
At one point in the first half, Penn State had run 33 plays to Iowa's five. And ultimately, the Lions scored just 13 first-half points.
The most troubling series might have been Penn State's second, which covered 19 plays, 71 yards and nearly 10 minutes but ended with just a field goal. The Lions had six snaps inside the 10-yard line, gaining a total of 6 yards. Running back Evan Royster gained 90 yards on a season-high 26 carries but also had a season-high 17 in losses. On that series, he had three carries for minus-5 yards inside the 5-yard line.
"I'm surprised we did hold them to that number of points," Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz said. "I wouldn't have guessed that, quite frankly."
Penn State ran the "Wildcat" offensive formation seven times, with receiver Derrick Williams taking the direct snap and Clark lined up wide. Williams ran six times (once for a touchdown) and threw once, completing a 23-yard pass to Mickey Shuler. It was designed to keep Clark from running the ball and, in turn, getting hit.
LOST IN THE SHUFFLE
Kevin Kelly set the Big Ten record for field goals with his 24-yarder in the first quarter. Kelly has 75 career field goals, topping the former record of 72 by Ohio State's Mike Nugent. He also has made field goals in a school-record 30 consecutive games. Deon Butler made three catches, tying Bobby Engram's school record for career receptions (167). Defensive end Josh Gaines left the game in the third quarter because of a left ankle injury. Safety Drew Astorino did not play in nickel situations because of a broken thumb. Guards Rich Ohrnberger and Stefen Wisniewski switched sides. Paterno said Wisniewski has been injured and he wanted Ohrnberger playing against Iowa defensive tackle Mitch King.
