One of the most fundamental needs, for life-long success, is the ability to give and receive love. Healthy love is given and received when trust has been established. Many books have been written on trust from simple tips to detailed insights on how the human mind develops.
When I was in school (elementary education with a focus on literacy) one of my teachers talked often about Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs. She wanted future teachers to understand the needs of children and how we can help them grow into healthy community members; especially the children whose needs were not being covered at home. She was hoping we'd take the chance to counter some of that negativity if/when possible.
Where does it all begin, then?
Here are a few thoughts to ponder, based on the chart above, in Early Childhood terms:
When pregnant, trust can begin to take shape. Eating healthy foods and refraining from harmful toxins that enter your child's bloodstream like alcohol, drugs and nicotine, are all ways you can begin to establish trust for your child. Although your son/daughter doesn't know it yet, you are already saying: "I love you enough to take good care of you. You can count on me."
While pregnant, and certainly after the baby arrives, bonding is a key element in shaping trust. Some easy ways to bond include singing songs (when pregnant and afterwards: even if you do not have a wonderful voice - your child will not care), breastfeeding (or snuggling closely, if bottle feeding), cuddling, hugging, kissing your baby's nose or forehead, infant massage, going for walks, etc. Spending time with your child(ren) is a key proponant in building trust.
Is your baby or child crying? Hungry? Tired? Cold? Hot? Lonely? Hurt? Sick? Tune in to their needs. Showing attention to your child's needs and responding accordingly is one of the best ways to establish trust and emotional intelligence. When a child's needs are ignored (hunger, diaper changes, lonliness, pain, etc) they learn: "My world cannot be trusted. No one will care for me." Ignoring a child's health or emotional needs is a fast way to destroy their ability to trust their surroundings and the world you brought them into. Addressing their needs, on the other hand, sends a positive message of love and hope.
Reading and Games
Reading (even while in the womb) can build trust. When we read to a child our tone often softens, we make silly/fun voices or we relax. Demonstrating such things says: "I know how to calm down, relax and spend quality time with you." That builds trust. Playing with puzzles, board games or early childhood hands-on products is another way to send those same messages. Taking time away from work or the daily routine and getting on the floor to play are simple, easy ways to instill trust.
This is a big one. Have you ever tried to have a conversation with someone who never looked at you? Did you want to yell: "Look up! Look at me! I'm right here! Pay attention to ME!" That's how children feel when our eyes never meet theirs. Get down at their level, if needed. Look your baby or child in the eyes and show them, "I am listening to everything you say. You matter to me."
Free from violence / Seeking help
Hitting, beating, raping, molesting or hurting a child plays a key role in the brain chemistry of a socially mal-adjusted human. Offering your child a safe and loving home, free from violence, is a sure way to help them trust the world - and you. Many parents who were hurt as children repeat that behavior with their own offspring. Seeking help, where needed, is a must in this case. Find someone who can help you work through your past and overcome it. The memories may not go away but the behavior does not have to be repeated. Coutnless parents have chosen to rise above their own hurtful childhood in order to better the future of their children. Showing your child (or partner/spouse) that you are willing to seek help for harmful behavior patterns is a clear message: "I love you so much that I refuse to hurt you. I'll do what it takes to be sure you are safe and cared for, even if that means humbling myself and accepting help."
Laughing is a great way to give trust. Be silly, goofy, happy and cheerful. Put on music or a DVD that makes everyone laugh. Tell a funny joke or dance around like a jellyfish. Who cares if it's silly, right? Your child will think you're tops; I guarantee it. Kids were born to laugh and they want it - need it - thrive on it. If you offer them that outlet you'll be giving them a mental stress-relieving tool which of course, builds trust.
If your baby was left to crawl through the city, would he/she love it? Or would he/she most likely cry, shake, worry and freeze? The latter is far more likely. Kids need and want boundaries. There's no need to tie a rope around their waist, keeping them from leaving home. However, children need to explore in a safe and non-threatening environment. Taking safety precautions with your children at each age and stage builds trust for you, the caregiver. Keeping your baby from getting stuck inside crib slats is important, just as keeping your toddler from playing with knives is wise. Our children learn to self regulate by having boundary behaviours modeled for them. Giving your children the ability to think critically and self regulate is a life-long gift of trust.
More tips could be offered but these 8 cover some of the most effective trust-building strategies I've witnessed over the years. The children who grow up in homes where love is offered, boundaries are given, eye contact is made, games are played, laughter is free flowing, violence is non-existent and time is spent together...are likely to grow up to be healthy, happy, loving, emotionally intelligent grown-ups.

A United States-based philanthropist, Peter Isola, has donated a professorial suite worth millions of naira to the Osun State University (UNIOSUN) with an appeal to the Federal Government to hand over tertiary institutions to state governments for effective management.
Ishola, who made the appeal recently during the inauguration of the project at the Ikire campus of the university further advised the Federal Government to, without further delay, return some of the tertiary institutions in the country to the states and allow them to fix their tuition, among other things.
“This move is necessary because the Federal Government seems not to have the wherewithal to resolve lingering crises in the education sector,” he explained.
Isola, however, expressed displeasure over the acclaimed educational advancement in the country; which he rather described as retrogression.
While stating that, “it is sad that the Federal Government has refused to provide necessary facilities that could add value to the university system,” he maintained that, “the only solution to end the issues dogging the education sector and enhance its development, is to return tertiary institutions to the state governments.”
In his remarks, the vice chancellor of the institution, Professor Clement Adebooye, appreciated the donor for the gesture.
He, however, charged other philanthropists in the country to emulate the donor and contribute their own quotas to the development of the society.
Also speaking, the pro-chancellor and chairman of the Council, UNIOSUN, Mallam Yusuf Alli (SAN), applauded the donor and charged the university management to make judicious use of the facility to achieve its aim.
Alli, who appreciated God for sparing his life till the day of the commissioning of the project, hinted that he was among those who laid the foundation of the suite in July, 2022 and appreciated the donor for delivering it within six months as promised.

Mortality Follow-Up and Analyses of Men in the MRFIT
|ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT00011206|
Recruitment Status : Completed
First Posted : February 13, 2001
Last Update Posted : March 17, 2014

|Cardiovascular Diseases Heart Diseases Coronary Disease Myocardial Ischemia Diabetes Mellitus Cerebrovascular Accident Myocardial Infarction|
MRFIT was initiated in 1972 as a randomized, multicenter primary prevention trial designed to determine whether a special intervention consisting of smoking cessation, cholesterol reduction and control of high blood pressure, would result in a significant reduction in coronary heart disease (CHD) mortality, compared to usual care. Follow-up and analysis has continued on the 361,662 men screened and the 12,866 men randomized.
The National Death Index (NDI) will be used for continued follow-up of the MRFIT cohorts. An additional assay to establish IGF-1 and IGF binding protein will be added to the data set as a potential prognostic factor. The effort will focus on three primary aims related to long-term mortality. Aim 1 will relate nutritional-dietary data to twenty-five year mortality from coronary heart disease (CHD), stroke, cardiovascular disease (CVD), colon cancer, prostate cancer, and all causes for the 12,866 men randomized. Aim 2 will relate age, ethnicity, socioeconomic position, geographic location, major risk factors, low risk status, prior diabetes, and prior myocardial infarction to twenty-five year mortality for the 361,662 men screened. Aim 3 will relate insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1), IGF binding protein, and fasting and one-hour glucose measurements from frozen baseline sera to mortality for the 12,866 men randomized.

In 1990, Congress passed the Breast and Cervical Cancer Mortality Prevention Act because of increases in the number of low-income and uninsured women being diagnosed with breast cancer. This act authorized the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to establish the National Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program (NBCCEDP) to provide high-quality and timely breast and cervical cancer screening and diagnostic services to low-income, uninsured women. The program started in 1991, and, in 1993, Congress amended the act to allow the CDC to fund American Indian and Alaska Native tribes and tribal organizations. By 1996, the program was providing cancer screening across the United States. To ensure appropriate delivery and monitoring of services, the program adopted detailed policies on program management, evidence-based guidelines for clinical services, a systematized clinical data system to track service quality, and key partnerships that expand the program's reach. The NBCCEDP currently funds 67 programs, including all 50 states, the District of Columbia, 5 US territories, and 11 tribes or tribal organizations.

Congratulations to our VWFL team on their 2021 Premiership!
Collingwood successfully defeated Essendon 57-52 on Sunday afternoon in a closely fought battle.
It was a particularly emotional day, after the team was told that club champion, captain and former coach Brendan Stroud had lost his battle with cancer.
Best on ground was awarded to defender Brian Owens. Brian played a crucial role down back, ensuring the Bombers weren’t able to score easily. Our midfield was dominant, allowing full forward Ben Jankovski great opportunity to score.
It was Ben who kicked a clutch goal with just moments left to secure the win for the Pies.
An unforgettable day for all involved, it was fantastic to see the club come together to support our wheelchair team get a well deserved victory for Brendan.

Harry Truman: Could He Be a Democrat Today?
In evidence, consider his speech during his presidency to the Attorney General's Conference on Law Enforcement Problems, February 15, 1950:
.... It is important, therefore, that we work together in combating organized crime in all its forms. We must use our courts and our law enforcement agencies, and the moral forces of our people, to put down organized crime wherever it appears.
At the same time, we must aid and encourage gentler forces to do their work of prevention and cure. These forces include education, religion, and home training, family and child guidance, and wholesome recreation.
The most important business in this Nation or any other nation, for that matter is raising and training children. If those children have the proper environment at home, and educationally, very, very few of them ever turn out wrong. I don't think we put enough stress on the necessity of implanting in the child's mind the moral code under which we live.
The fundamental basis of this Nation's law was given to Moses on the Mount. The fundamental basis of our Bill of Rights comes from the teachings which we get from Exodus and St. Matthew, from Isaiah and St. Paul. I don't think we emphasize that enough these days.
If we don't have the proper fundamental moral background, we will finally wind up with a totalitarian government which does not believe in rights for anybody except the state....

It might have been Pippa Middleton’s first television interview, but not everybody is excited about her appearance on TODAY. Multiple Sources tell RadarOnline.com that Buckingham Palace is none too pleased with the Duchess of Cambridge’s little sister!
“They are furious with Pippa,” one aristocratic source dished. “They wish that she would shut-up. It is obvious that she wants to define her identify and step out of her sisters shadow, however she needs to know her place."
The exclusive interview was a huge booking for TODAY and its embattled host Matt Lauer, who travelled all the way to London with the show’s executive producer to film the interview. But Palace brass isn’t happy that Kate Middleton’s little sister gave her first tell-all behind their royal backs, in fact, sources tell RadarOnline.com that the Royal Family is “livid.”
But other sources explain that Clarence House, the home of Prince William and Duchess Kate, signed off on the interview, which is slightly different from Buckingham Palace. The latter speaks for the Queen herself.
- Matt Lauer And Girlfriend Shamin Abas' Relationship Back On Track After Rocky Couple Of Months
- Disgraced Ex-'Today' Host Matt Lauer ‘Planning An Apology Tour’ & Ready To Spill All About Katie Couric: Sources
- ‘It’s Embarrassing To Them All!’: ‘Good Morning America’ Staffers Shocked By Amy Robach’s Decision To Date TJ Holmes Years After Matt Lauer Rumors
Originally Pippa wanted to participate in the interview when her book came out, but was “discouraged from doing it as it would appear she was using relationship with Kate to promote the book,” the source added.
But the source also added that Pippa was using the interview as a forum to be approached again for other opportunities in media.
Right now there are no plans for Pippa to work for NBC.

Two of our best curators have returned to New Zealand to take up new positions. After a stint as director of Brisbane's Institute for Modern Art (IMA), Robert Leonard arrived in the New Year to take up the position of senior curator at the City Gallery Wellington (he is also the curator of the New Zealand pavilion at the 2015 Venice Biennale), and Simon Rees has just arrived back in the country to take up the directorship of the Govett-Brewster Art Gallery in New Plymouth.
Leonard will bring a fresh approach to curating and programming at the City Gallery. He says: “I want to balance my love of detailed exhibition making with coal-face responsiveness, high turnover and direct collaboration with artists. I am interested in the radical relativism of contemporary art, the fact that everything is up for grabs, but also understand that all new moves are always read against a tradition, a canon, and will transform or succumb to it. I appreciate art that stands the test of time, but I am equally into art that is right here, right now.”
You can read more about Leonard's approach to curating here.
Rees returns to the Govett-Brewster Art Gallery (GBAG) as director this time – he was curator there during Greg Burke's directorship – to oversee the building of the Andrew Patterson-designed Len Lye Centre (LLC) and launch the combined GBAG/LLC in 2015. We'll have wait to see what kind of project and programme he rolls out, but he brings a wealth of ability and experience to the task. He is, for instance, the only New Zealand curator to have won a prize at the Venice Biennale. In 2007 he curated the award winning Lithuanian pavilion with artists Gediminas & Nomeda Urbonas. Rees is also a regular contributor to frieze and frieze d/e.

While Madame Priestly abuses her underlings and frowns upon common peasants, Andy ditches her frumpy knit sweaters for Gucci pants and Jimmy Choo pumps. It might be rags to riches for Andy but first she has to contend with hell on heels. Behind the bustling backdrop of New York City, college grad Andy Sachs (Anne Hathaway) gets a lesson in fashion and work ethic from her tyrannical boss Miranda Priestly (Meryl Streep) in The Devil Wears Prada. As Andy begins her misadventures in high fashion journalism, the Brooklyn Bridge appears in a series of opening shots. Completed in 1883, the suspension bridge connects Manhattan and Brooklyn by spanning the East River. Scroll down to see more film locations identifed from The Devil Wears Prada.


A method for improving the capability of convergence of numerical lubrication simulation by using the PID controller
Numerically simulating lubricated components is a basic analysis method in tribology. Such kind of simulation usually requires solving a closed equation system. Iterative algorithm has been used to numerically solve it for many years. The convergence of the corresponding solution procedures is achieved by adjusting some initial parameters to satisfy the pre-defined convergence criteria. There is very little discussion about the method used to adjust the initial parameters, however it directly influence the convergence of the whole simulation. In this paper, the analogy between the solution procedures and the feedback loop was discussed. And based on such analogy, the widely used proportional-integral-derivative controller (PID controller) in the control of the feed-back loop could be also used to make the solution procedures of lubrication simulation converge. The mixed point contact EHL problem, which is rather difficult to converge in lubrication simulation, was chosen as the example to prove the validity and efficiency of using PID controller in the solution procedures. The results show that the PID controller can be easily implemented and simplify the code. And it really accelerates the convergent speed of the simulation. In some working conditions, the traditional way cannot lead to satisfied results but the PID controller can make it. The most attractive advantage of using PID controller is that it can automatically converge the solution procedure, no extra modification is needed once the simulation starts.

Triple A batteries – yes, the best and long lasting batteries for your electronic devices. Whether you are camping and need them for your flash light, or you want to power up the remote or the gaming pad, they are there to make experience greater! However, which one is the best? Well, read on to find out. Here are the Top 3 rechargable batteries on the Australian Market.
Energizer Ultimate Lithium Battery
Energized created one of the highest rated lithium AAA batteries on the market. They offer up to nine times longer usage than other brands especially in digital cameras because the cameras are known to drain too much of them. Also, their shelf life is up to 15 years, which is good if you want to keep them around for emergencies. One thing, in particular, is that Energizer uses very light material when constructing these batteries, which their weight is one-third less than a standard battery. They are leak resistant and perform very good in tough temperatures. Online, there are only good reviews, so investing in them is a good deal.
Duracell Ultra Power AAA Battery
Well, who doesn’t love the bunny? These batteries last more than any other brands. The reviews have shown it, well people I know have shown it, so they are really good. I’ve read online that one dude got up to 90 hours of constant use while he was camping with his head lamp – simply amazing. Their most powerful AAA batteries can last up to 10 years without any usage. It has a power check circle that grants the user to see how much is remaining so they can be easily replaced. They have a more affordable price at the same specification – a good investment indeed.
Panasonic Evolta Alkaline Battery
Lastly, we go through the Panasonic Evolta AAA battery. They also have good online reviews and receive good and fair rating when using digital cameras. Even though that Panasonic says they are good for all devices, it is usually used for devices that do not need to change their batteries too often, such as remote controls and smoke detectors. This battery can last up to six years without any usage and it is better than other normal batteries around 20%.
There you have it the big three AAA batteries brands. It is up to you which one you choose, depending on your budget, your preferences and the type of device you are going to use it. To find one is easier than before thanks to the help of the internet. Order online and they will arrive in your mailbox in no time.

Japanese Knotweed Removal in Deptford, SE8
Japanese Knotweed removal and advice by Local Chartered Surveyors and PCA members covering Deptford, SE8 and the surrounding areas.
Interesting fact about Deptford… Diarist John Evelyn lived in Deptford at Sayes Court from 1652.Sayes Court was demolished in 1728-9 and a workhouse built on its site. Part of the estates around Sayes Court were purchased in 1742 for the building of the Navy Victualling Yard, which was renamed the Royal Victoria Victualing Yard in 1858 after a visit by Queen Victoria. This massive facility included warehouses, a bakery, a cattleyard/abattoir and sugar stores, and closed in 1961. All that remains is the name of Sayes Court Park, accessed from Sayes Court Street off Evelyn Street, not far from Deptford High Street. The Pepys Estate, opened on 13 July 1966, is on the former grounds of the Victualing Yard.
Japanese knotweed (Fallopia japonica) and its hybrids are a non-native, invasive species of plant. Since it was introduced into the UK as an ornamental garden plant in the mid-nineteenth century, it has spread across the UK, particularly along watercourses, transport routes and infested waste areas and of course private gardens.
CYB Environmental is the most trusted company in the treatment and removal of Japanese Knotweed. We are the only Japanese Knotweed removal company and consultancy in the UK regulated by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) and to hold full Property Care Association (PCA) accreditation.
Along with an herbicidal treatment programme and a site specific management plan, we offer an insurance backed guarantee that gives piece of mind should it ever return.
Our head office is centrally located in Deptford, London providing the perfection location to serve Deptford, SE8 and surrounding areas. We also have satellite offices in Bristol and Cardiff.

Women at the school gates: a narrative study of the career paths of three women
Stead, C. 2020. Women at the school gates: a narrative study of the career paths of three women . PhD Thesis Canterbury Christ Church University School of teacher education
|Qualification name||Degree of Doctorate of Philsophy|
This interpretive study explores ‘career’, as experienced and narrated by three female participants who combine senior professional roles with motherhood. The theme of the public versus the personal permeates the thesis, through the exploration of the challenges and constraints faced by the women as they seek to balance the competing demands of career and daily life, and through reflexive consideration of the author’s relationships with the women because the participants were drawn from existing friendship groups.
The research is framed within auto/biographical methodology and uses narrative methods to explore the elements that have influenced each woman’s career and the meanings that she attributes to her career story. Materials were gathered through loosely structured interviews and themes were identified and selected via a proforma approach. This led to a highly iterative, inductive analytical process, also informed by reflexive discussion of the author’s position within the thesis. The complex ethical issues explored in the study included the extent to which the research represented collusion or collision between researcher and participants, the extent to which prior knowledge of the participants should be used, and notions of leaving the field.
The study demonstrated the need to question assumptions concerning the way in which women conceptualise and articulate career, as the transcripts indicated unease with, or even denial of, the concept of ‘career’. Where there was discussion, it was in first-paradigm terminology, with a focus on organisational hierarchies and planned ascent of a career ladder rather than on career as a work of self-construction. The research also found that the emotions expressed around career were overwhelmingly negative, arising particularly from an inability to achieve a satisfactory balance between working and personal lives. A further, distinctive element of the work is its methodological innovation within the study of career. Uniquely, the thesis presents material gathered and viewed through the lens of friendship via an auto/biographical approach and finds that no single career theory can adequately represent the experiences narrated by these participants. This signals a gap between theory and lived experience.

Political determinants of budget deficits: Coalition effects versus minority effects
1991 (English)In: European Economic Review, ISSN 0014-2921, E-ISSN 1873-572X, Vol. 35, no 8, 1597-1603 p.Article in journal (Refereed) Published
This paper reexamines some recent empirical evidence on the hypothesis that institutional arrangements in the political process affect budget deficits. The results of Roubini and Sachs (1989b) are replicated, and sensitivity analysis indicate that their results are robust. However, the main conclusion of Roubini and Sachs, that coalition governments are less capable of budgetary discipline, needs to be modified. A reformulation of their variable representing political cohesion reveals that it captures the effects of minority governments rather than majority coalition governments. The data support the hypothesis that it is harder to negotiate in parliament than within a government.

Utah Gov. Spencer Cox signed a bill Friday that will allow Utah residents to carry concealed weapons without a permit.
The law, which will go into effect in May, allows anyone 21-and-older to carry a concealed weapon.
“With the passage of this bill, Utah joins 17 other states with some form of permitless concealed carry,” Cox said Friday. “This bill protects Second Amendment rights, reduces permitless open carry (which is already legal), and includes significant funding for suicide prevention.”

Credit Card Acceptance Rules ChangeSource: RSPA
By Bob Goldberg, RSPA General Counsel
Merchants and consumers have long been frustrated by restrictions, requirements, and charges imposed with credit/debit card acceptance and usage. Action was taken in the United States Congress to reduce fees associated with debit cards (Durbin Amendment). The Federal Reserve Board has issued regulations implementing the Congressional mandate cutting the debit card fee by fifty percent. Merchants stung with PCI fees, penalties, investigative costs, and interest have brought private causes of action against processors and banks. The United States Department of Justice filed antitrust charges against the card companies and recently Visa and MasterCard agreed to settle those charges. The court approved the settlement and the card companies announced changes to their rules that provide greater flexibility to merchants accepting cards. These changes need to be communicated to the merchant community and you could be the bearer of good news.

US 4715529 A
A beak-type lock particularly useful for an egg carton includes an upstanding latching member having a horizontal rib at its latching surface, which latching member is adapted to engage an orifice having a shoulder at its bottom margin and a recessed upper margin, and wherein the upper margin in the locking position falls behind a portion of the upstanding latching member to provide a double-acting lock.
1. In a molded container having a tray section and a cover section hingedly connected to a rear side of said tray section for movement between an open position and a closed position, said try section having at least one fixedly positioned upstanding male latching member formed on a front side thereof, said cover section having a female latching formation formed in a front wall thereof, said container being further characterized in that the female latching formation includes a recessed upper marginal portion having a configuration which in part takes the shape of an inverted U having a closed end portion at a height at least as great as the height of said upstanding male latching member, and a width less than the width of said male latching member defining at least one flexible ear along said upper marginal portion which, in the locking position, lies behind at least a portion of said upstanding male latching member.
2. The molded container of claim 1 wherein the male latching member includes a substantially hollow upper section defined by side walls tapering outwardly, forwardly and downwardly whereby forwardly tapered portions of the side walls terminate at an integral, transversely offset reinforcing peripheral rib; said female latching formation having a transversely offset elongated lower marginal shoulder disposed forwardly of the upper marginal portion and lockingly engaging and subtending the peripheral rib of said male latching member when the cover section is in a closed position, the cover section front wall being outwardly deformable to effect clearance of the shoulder with respect to the upper section of said male latching member upon said female latching formation moving into and out of locking engagement with said male latching member.
3. The structure recited in claim 2 further characterized in that the width of said upstanding male latching member including its peripheral rib is greater than its height measured from the bottom of said peripheral rib to an uppermost point of said male latching member.
4. The structure recited in claim 2 wherein said shoulder has a thickened portion at approximately the center thereof.
5. The structure recited in claim 1, wherein the height of said inverted U is greater than the height of said male latching member.
6. The structure of claim 2 wherein the female latching formation includes an orifice through which extends the hollow upper section of the male latching member when the cover section is in a closed position with respect to the tray section, said orifice being at least partially delimited by a pair of side marginal portions substantially disposed within a plane defined by the recessed upper marginal portion of the female latching formation; said side marginal portions defining a pair of oppositely disposed ears.
7. The structure of claim 1 wherein the female latching formation includes an orifice having a segment thereof in the form of an inverted U disposed within the recessed upper marginal portion of said female latching formation, said inverted U segment having an upper portion at a height at least as great as the height of the male latching member and a width less than the width of said male latching member thereby defining at least one ear disposed behind the hollow upper section of the male latching member when the cover section assumes a closed position.
8. The structure recited in claim 7 wherein the inverted U segment of the orifice is provided with a pair of ears, one ear being formed in each side portion of said inverted U segment.
9. The structure recited in claim 6 wherein the oppositely disposed ears formed on the side marginal portions of the orifice are flexible.
This is a continuation of application Ser. No. 530,840 filed Sept. 9, 1983 now abandoned.
The present invention relates to providing improved locking functions for molded containers and cartons, and, more particularly, to beak-type locks which combine improved strength and resistance to accidental opening.
In the past, the carton designers of molded cartons have produced cartons with beak type locks. However, such prior designs and constructions have relatively weak engaging surfaces and are subject to rupture and failure when opening is attempted. In some instances the beak formed on the base or tray section fails and in other instances the orifice formed in the front wall of the cover section ruptures. The problem of failure and rupture was ever present in prior constructions. Although, over the years, many good designers attempted to produce improved locks, failures and ruptures still occurred and the problem was not completely solved.
Examples of prior designs appear in the U.S. Pat. Nos. to Alsman, 3,217,963; Friday, 3,245,600; Hartman, 3,276,656; Bagay, 3,459,360; and Seest et al, 3,471,078. In esch of these prior designs, developed over the years, and with practical experience, the orifice engagement surface remained simple. Seest et al. attempted to reinforce their beak with a horizontal rib at the very top thereof away from the latch engaging surface. It was not obvious to any of the prior workers in the field to provide a horizontal peripheral rib at the engaging surface or a vertical surface extending upwardly therefrom.
Many of these prior carton locks may also be relatively easily disengaged by movement of the cover section forward relative to the base section of the carton. Bagay U.S. Pat. No. 3,459,360, however, discloses the interengagement of the back of the beak with the top of the opening.
In U.S. Pat. No. 4,383,638, issued May 17, 1983, a beak-type lock of improved strength is provided which overcomes may of the deficiencies of the prior art such as discussed above.
A remaining problem, however, manifests itself when the aforementioned lock is used in 18-egg molded egg cartons (3 rows of 6 eggs each) which egg cartons, packed with eggs, are displayed on inclined racks with a similar loaded egg carton stacked thereabove, so that there is exerted on the front wall of the bottom egg carton a considerable force from above. Under these circumstances, the weight of the accumulated filled egg cartons above the bottom one exerts a force on the beaks of such bottom carton which, under rare circumstances, may cause the lock to accidentally become undone.
It is, accordingly, an object of the invention to overcome deficiencies in the prior art, such as indicted above.
It is another object to provide for improved locking of molded containers and cartons.
It is still another object of the invention to provide an improvement to the carton lock construction of U.S. Pat. No. 4,383,638.
It is another object of the invention to provide a beak-type lock for a molded container or carton, which lock has improved security, i.e. increased resistance to accidental opening.
It is still a further object to provide a lock which, while it has improved security, is simultaneously easier and more convenient for the consumer to open.
In accordance with the invention, a molded carton is provided with strong locks each including an upstanding relatively fixed beak-like locking member formed on the carton tray section and adapted to engage the lower margin of an orifice in the front wall of the cover of the carton. The upper margin of the orifice is constructed in relation to the upper portion of the beak so as to fall therebehind after the locking has been completed so as to provide a double-acting lock which inhibits inadvertent unlocking by providing interengagement between the back upper portion of the beak and the upper margin of the orifice.
The above and other objects and the nature of the invention will be more apparent from the following detailed description of an embodiment, taken in conjunction with the drawing wherein:
FIG. 1 is a view in perspective of a receptable (e.g. box or container or carton) illustrating an embodiment of the beak-type lock or latch which extends upwardly from the wall of the tray or bottom section of the carton through an orifice or opening in the front wall of the cover section thereof.
FIG. 2 is a fragmentary front view of a closed and locked egg carton having two locking elements, the locking elements corresponding to the embodiment of FIG. 1.
FIG. 3 is a fragmentary front view, similar to FIG. 2, showing the carton in an unlocked condition with the front wall of the cover section disposed above the front wall of the tray section.
FIG. 4 is a fragmentary, partial vertical sectional view taken through the cover section along line 45--45 of FIG. 1.
FIG. 5 is a fragmentary vertical sectional view identical to FIG. 4, but taken through both the cover section and the latch member of the tray section.
FIG. 6 is a fragmentary front elevation view of the orifice in the front wall of the cover section illustrated in FIGS. 1-5.
FIG. 7 is a fragmentary front elevation view similar to FIG. 6 but showing the beak-type latch member engaging the orifice in the cover front wall.
Referring to the Figures, a carton or box or container 10 formed of molded material, for example molded wood or paper pulp or thermo formed foam plastic, is shown which incorporates one embodiment of the improved beak-type lock. The carton includes an upper cover sometimes referred to as cover section 12 and a lower tray sometimes referred to as tray section 14 which is hingedly connected at its rear to the cover 12. The tray 14 has a front wall 16 recessed inwardly at 18 to define on the interior thereof one or more pockets or cells for accommodating eggs or the like. Extending upwardly from the inwardly recessed portion 18 is a latching member or beak 20 which generally conforms in structure to that shown in U.S. Pat. 4,383,638, mentioned above. As best shown in FIGS. 3 and 5, the beak 20 assumes a fixed position relative to the remainder of the tray section and is substantially hollow with side walls which taper downwardly and outwardly from the top of the beak to an integral horizontal peripheral rib or flange 22 rounded at the top and sides thereof.
The cover 12, in turn, is formed with a front wall 24 which may be scalloped such as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, or which may otherwise have one or more suitable indented or depressed areas 24a within which is formed an orifice or female or latching formation 26 adapted to cooperate with the male latching member or beak 20 to effect locking of the cover in a closed position, see FIGS. 1 and 2. The orifice 26 has a lower margin formed as a shoulder 28 with which the rib 22 of the beak 20 is adapted to engage. Such shoulder 28 may be formed with a thickened middle portion 28a to increase the contact area and also the strength of that portion 30 of the front wall 24 of the cover 12 underlying the opening 26, as will be discussed in more detail hereinafter.
In general, orifices or female locking formations according to the present invention are constructed such that, in the locking position as illustrated in FIGS. 1, 2, 4 and 5, at least a portion of the upper margin 25 of each opening, which corresponds to the lower edge of the front wall portion 24a, falls at least particularly behind the male beak 20 in such a way that to as upper margin portion 25 interferes with the top of the beak and prevents accidental or inadvertent unlatching of the carbon due to relative forward movement of the cover section 12 with respect to tray section 14.
In the preferred embodiment, the upper margin 25, the shape of which is best seen in FIGS. 3 and 6, has a configuration which is generally complementary to the shape of the male beak 20, the central part being generally of an inverted U-shape, with the ends tapering outwardly and downwardly. As best seen in FIG. 7, however, the inverted U-shaped portion is somewhat narrower than the width of the beak 20 and therefore a pair of ears or flaps 34 are created, and it is these ears 34 which constitute the portions of the upper margin 25 falling behind the male beak 20. It will be understood, however, that other shapes and configurations are possible, e.g. the opening may be substantially rectangular with its upper edge being generally straight and parallel to the shoulder 28.
Regardless, the orifice 26 extends in and between two planes, namely a rearmost plane in which the indented portion 24a of the front wall 24 of the cover 12 lies (see FIGS. 4 and 5), and a frontmost plane defined by other portions of the front wall 24 of the cover 12, including that portion 30 sometimes referred to as a depending band which lies below the shoulder 28. Thus, two side margins 32 of the orifice 26, and the lower margin formed by the shoulder 28, are generally in the same plane, while the upper margin 25 of the orifice 26 is recessed inwardly.
On a level with the lower margin of the orifice 26 formed as the shoulder 28, at least a portion of the horizontal peripheral rib 22 of the beak 20 extends thereover when the beak 20 is in latching engagement. Formed integrally with the shoulder 28 is the depending band 30. As noted above, the thickened portion 28a of the shoulder 28 serves to enhance the effectiveness of the locking engagement.
During the locking operation, the rounded tip of the beak 20 first comes into contact with the lower portion of the depending band 30 as the cover is pivoted to a closed position causing the band to deflect outwardly; as the closing movement continues, the shoulder 28 of the cover section deflects outwardly over the beak 20 and finally over the horizontal peripheral rib 22 thereof. As this occurs, the beak 20 clears the center uppermost portion of the margin 25 and the ears 34 flex over the rounded sides of the beak 20 and come into engagement with the back of such beak, thereby providing a double-acting lock, i.e. the normal beak-locking mechanism plus the second locking effect between the back of the beak 20 and the ears 34. This double-acting lock prevents inadvertent unlocking by pressure on the beak. To effect carton opening, the user needs only to pull outwardly the depending band 30 until the shoulder 28 clears rib 22 and then pivot the cover upwardly to the open position; such a motion most users find natural. In this illustrated embodiment, the upper margin 25 of the opening 26 in the center thereof should extend above the top of the beak 20 as shown in FIG. 7 to allow the ears 34 to flex if required during closure.
The molded containers and cartons on which the latching formation in accordance with the instant invention is useful include egg cartons, food containers such as boxes for sandwiches, chicken parts, pizzas, and hamburgers in fast food operations, and other food articles and other items.
It will be understood that in accordance with the instant invention novel forms of beak-locks have been described which include latching engagement surfaces of particular formation which will resist tearing stresses and other forces encountered during closing and opening operations which may be manual or automatic. Also in accordance with the invention the latching engagement surface associated with the orifice with which the beak engages has been particularly formed so as to obviate failure due to rupture when the containers or cartons incorporating the lock are opened or closed. In particular, the male beak interacts with the female aperture in such a way as to provide a double-acting lock.
The foregoing description of the specific embodiment described will so fully reveal the general nature of the invention that others can, by applying current knowledge, readily modify and/or adapt for various applications such specific embodiment without departing from the generic concept, and, therefore, such adaptations and modifications should and are intended to be comprehended within the meaning and range of equivalents of the disclosed embodiment. It is to be understood that the phraseology or terminology employed herein is for purposes of description and not of limitation.

Avianca Flight 52
|Date||January 25, 1990|
|Summary||Crashed following fuel exhaustion|
|Site||Cove Neck, New York |
|Aircraft type||Boeing 707-321B|
|Call sign||AVIANCA 52|
|Flight origin||El Dorado International Airport|
|Stopover||José María Córdova Int'l Airport|
|Destination||John F. Kennedy Int'l Airport|
Avianca Flight 52 was a scheduled flight from Bogotá to New York City. On January 25, 1990, the Boeing 707 (registered HK-2016) flying the route crashed after running out of fuel, killing 65 passengers and 8 crew members.
Aircraft[change | change source]
The incident aircraft, HK-2016, was as Boeing 707 which flew for Avianca. The aircraft was made in 1967 and bought by Pan Am. Avianca bought the plane from Pan Am in 1977. The aircraft had flew for a total of 61,000 hours and was 22 years old.:21
Flight[change | change source]
On January 25, 1990, the aircraft took off at 13:10 EST.:1–2 The flight first flew to a stopover airport in Medellín. More fuel was put into the aircraft, totaling 80,000 pounds (36,000 kg) of fuel, though other sources say that there was 82,000 pounds (37,000 kg) of fuel.:22–27
The flight took off from Medellín at 15:08.:1–2 It then entered the United States at 17:28.:1–2 The airplane circled near Norfolk, Virginia from 19:04 to 19:23. The aircraft was then put into a holding pattern at 20:18.:177
Air traffic control told Flight 52 that there was an indefinite hold at JFK, and told Flight 52 that they could go to their other airport, which is used in case a plane cannot reach its destination. The pilots denied this, and stated they did not have enough fuel to reach their other airport.:4 At 20:46, the flight was cleared to go to JFK airport.:6
Attempt to land[change | change source]
At 21:00, JFK airport was experiencing light drizzle with fog.:29 The landing gear was put out at 21:19. The first officer then told the pilot that the plane was below the glideslope, a way to measure the rate a plane is going down while landing. The plane then went above and below the correct glideslope. The plane experienced a wind shear and the pilots made a missed approach.:10–11
After taking a left turn, the captain told the first officer to tell air traffic control they were in an emergency. The first officer told control that "we'll try once again[;] we're running out of fuel," to which the controller replied, "okay.":10–11 The captain then told the first officer again to "advise him we are [in an] emergency" and asked if he did, and the first officer replied, "Yes sir, I already advised him.":10-11
At 21:32, the aircraft lost all power in two out of four engines.":5 The pilot told air traffic control that they had "just ah lost two engines[,] and ... we need priority please." The control tower told the pilot that they were clear for approach and the pilot acknowledged, which was the last time Flight 52 sent a message.:13

Manufacturers design vehicle engines to run fine at a specified temperature. They also equip several car components to ensure the engine runs at the designated temp.
The engine coolant temperature sensor measures the coolant temp and signals the powertrain control module (PCM). Then, the PCM works with the received data to adjust the readings.
If the powertrain control module detects engine coolant temperature sensor performance issues, it will throw error code P0116. Several factors can cause the engine coolant temperature performance to fall outside the manufacturer’s specified range on any car model.
We’ll examine the causes, symptoms, diagnosis mistakes, and how to track and fix the culprit. First, let’s see the meaning of P0116 engine coolant temperature circuit range performance issues.
What does error code P0116 mean?
P0116 diagnostic trouble code DTC is a generic fault code that shows the engine control module has detected the engine coolant temperature circuit1 has fallen out of the manufacturer’s specified range.
The engine coolant temperature is a thermistor that measures resistance based on temperature. The sensor is typically located on the engine block or the cylinder head. It is usually a 2-wire sensor. One of the wires is grounded, while the other connects to the car computer.
Once there’s a change in the coolant temperature, the ECT sensor changes the resistance it sends to the PCM. The car computer uses this data to determine the engine temperature. If this sensor sends false signals to the car computer, it’ll make unnecessary adjustments. This may lead to bad gas mileage and system overheating.
What is the symptom of error code P0116?
You should watch out for a few symptoms of a logged P0116 on BMW or any car model. Here are the most common signs.
Check engine light
The most common symptom of a P0116 fault code is the illumination of a check engine light on the dashboard. The car computer usually projects the engine warning light whenever it detects a malfunction in one or more engine components to notify the driver of an imminent issue within the system. And the case of a P0116 trouble code is no exception.
Kindly note that several factors can trigger this light. So, diagnose the vehicle to find the culprit whenever this warning light pops up on the instrument cluster.
Another sign of a P0116 on Volvo or your respective car model is rough idling. Once the car computer receives false data from the ECT sensor, it’ll make unnecessary adjustments that may cause rough idling and hesitation while driving.
Hard starting in a cold climate
The vehicle will take multiple cranks before starting in the morning or when the engine is cold. And when it finally comes up, it may not start normally. However, another clear indication is that the engine will run smoothly or close to normal when the engine heats up.
Sometimes, the engine will run hot. Since the ECT sensor measures the coolant temperature, it will report to the car computer if it detects the coolant temperature falls out of the manufacturer’s specified range. The ECM will throw the P0116 on Chevy or your respective car model.
What Causes error code P0116?
Several factors can cause the car computer to throw the P0116 error code on the car memory. Here are the most common causes.
- Frayed, damaged, burnt, open, or short ECT sensor wires
- Low engine coolant
- Lousy coolant thermostat
- Poor electrical flow to the ECT sensor
- Lousy engine coolant temperature sensor.
How serious error code P0116 is?
The P0116 code is a moderate issue you should not ignore for an extended period. This error code can trigger the engine warning light on the dash, causing you to fail emission inspection if not fixed on time.
Secondly, it can activate a failsafe mode. Once the car computer triggers this mode, some system components will be inoperable. You’ll sometimes experience rough idling, erratic running, or engine hesitation until the engine warms up.
How to diagnose
You’ll need a proper guide if you’re a DIYer who wants to track and fix the P0116 on Toyota or your respective car model. This will prevent wrong replacements of the good parts. This section is a simplified diagnosing procedure.
As reiterated above, this is an intermediate task. So this repair task is not recommended for beginners. Instead, contact an experienced mechanic, even if you’re an inexperienced DIYer.
Items and Tools Needed
- Scanning tool with live data feature
- Basic hand tools
Step 1: Scan the vehicle
Locate the OBD port on your vehicle and connect the scan tool. The OBD port is located beneath the steering wheel. Pull out all the registered error codes. View when the fault code was registered using the freeze frame data on your advanced scanning tool. If there are other registered codes, fix them as well.
Step 2: Do a visual inspection
Open the engine hood and locate the ECT sensor. Examine the engine coolant temperature for frayed, burnt, open, short, or damaged wires. Repair or replace any damaged wire.
Step 3: Test the thermostat
Locate the thermostat and remove it. Test the thermostat and see if it is working properly. If it is faulty, it’ll cause the engine control unit to log P0116 error code. Replace the thermostat if it is damaged.
If all of these procedures prove abortive, seek professional help. An experienced service technician will run a thorough diagnosis and proffer solutions.
Common P0116 diagnosis mistakes
The common diagnostics mistake amongst mechanics and car owners are not performing visual inspections on the ECT sensor wires and connector. And other mistakes include:
- Not testing and replacing the thermostat with the correct temperature rating.
- Not tracking and fixing the root cause of other similar codes.
How do you fix P0116?
One or more of the following repairs will be needed to fix error code P0116 on Audi and other car models.
- Replacing faulty ECT sensor
- Replacing a lousy thermostat with the correct temperature rating
- Repairing or replacing frayed, burnt, or damaged wires and connectors
Approx. Repair Cost
It may be impossible to give an accurate repair cost since several factors can cause a P0116 diagnostic trouble code. Therefore, the service technician will start with an hour of diagnosis to pinpoint the root cause of the problem. Most auto shops charge $75 to $150 per hour.
Most auto mechanics will forfeit the diagnosing cost if you have them track and fix the culprit. For diagnostics trouble code P0116 on Hyundai and other car models, you will need one or more of the following repairs to fix the problem. The price below includes the parts cost and the service fee.
- Replacing thermostat $140 to $350
- Replacing engine coolant temperature sensor $75 to $300
- Repairing or replacing frayed, burnt, or damaged wires $20 to $250.
It is important to note that P0116 is a generic diagnostics trouble code. This means repair for the P0116 Honda code may differ from the P0116 Chevy Malibu code. Also, the P0116 code fix is not for amateurs. So, if you’re not an experienced DIYer, have a certified mechanic track and fix the culprit.
If you choose to track and fix the root cause of the P0116 trouble code at home, follow the diagnosis and repair procedures above accurately.

10 October is World Mental Health Day
Dr. Majid Al Abdulla, Deputy Chair of Psychiatry at Hamad Medical Corporation (HMC), said worldwide one in four people will be affected by a mental health or neurological disorder at some point during their life. He said mental health disorders are among the leading causes of ill-health and disability worldwide.
“The symptoms or warning signs of mental illness vary and may present in a number of different ways, including a sudden change in moods, such as extreme joy to severe sadness, depression, a high level of anxiety, fear, anger, thoughts of self-harm, and violent or negative thoughts. If you notice any symptoms of mental illness, seek immediate medical advice by making an appointment with your primary care doctor who can refer you to HMC. In the case of a mental health emergency, call 999 for the Ambulance Service,” said Dr. Al Abdullah.
Around half of all mental health disorders occur in childhood or adolescence, beginning by the age of 14; up to 75% of mental health conditions develop by the age of 24. According to Dr. Al Abdullah, the symptoms of a mental health illness can vary, depending on the illness and the individual. He says it is important to recognize the warning signs as early intervention can help reduce the severity of an illness.
In recent years, HMC’s Mental Health Services have undergone a number of developments in response to the release of the Qatar National Mental Health Strategy 2013-2018. Existing services have been expanded and new services and facilities have been introduced. Dr. Al Abdulla says that with appropriate treatment and support, mental illnesses are both manageable and treatable.
HMC is the main provider of specialized mental healthcare in Qatar, with services ranging from inpatient and emergency care to community-based services. Dr. Al Abdulla said in addition to treatment, his team places a strong focus on raising public awareness of mental health illnesses as a strategy to eliminating stigma and transforming the way mental illness is perceived and treated in Qatar.
“Our mission is to improve the quality of life of individuals and families by providing compassionate, safe, effective, and accessible patient and family-centered services. We provide treatment and support for children and young people, as well as adults. Our multi-disciplinary healthcare teams are dedicated to helping our patients recover and lead more fulfilling lives,” said Dr. Al Abdulla.
Dr. Al Abdulla added that the majority of people who experience a mental health illness will live within their community and manage their condition with the support of family, friends, and their primary care doctor.
“When people need additional help, we are here to support them. We provide a range of services from community-based support to more specialist care for individuals who have more complex needs. We have a range of outpatient clinics for children and adolescents as well as for adults, including older adults,” said Dr. Al Abdulla.
HMC’s community-based facilities include the Enaya Community Care Center in Muaither. The referral-based center provides patients with a ‘home-like’ setting that is an alternative to hospital-based treatments. The Center provides outpatient services for children and teenagers up to the age of 18 and a daycare program for adult women who have long-term mental health conditions. There is also a residential service for women who have complex mental health needs and require support but do not need acute medical care.
Dr. Al Abdulla said HMC’s mental health team also provides follow-up home visits for adults who have had mental health problems. He said the Department also runs support programs for the elderly, with a variety of medical therapies provided in the home.
He added that ongoing training and education for staff is a key focus for his Department, and he pointed to the upcoming 7th Qatar International Mental Health Conference, being held from 6 to 8 December, as an example of HMC’s ongoing commitment to staff training and continuing education.
Dr. Suhaila Ghuloum, Senior Consultant Psychiatrist and Chair for the 7th Qatar International Mental Health Conference said the event is one of the most important conferences on mental health in the Arab world. She said the event is designed to promote peer-to-peer learning among healthcare professionals working in the mental health field.
“The Qatar International Mental Health Conference is a leading conference on mental health in the Arab World. This is the seventh time that HMC has organized this conference and this accredited learning event provides an outstanding opportunity to earn approved continuing professional development hours. The event also provides an important platform for peer-to-peer networking and encourages scientific collaborations,” said Dr. Ghuloum.
She said mental health research will feature predominately in the Conference’s program and noted that there has been a substantial amount of recent research published in international journals related to mental health services in Qatar, including papers on depression and schizophrenia and work stress and its impact on mental health. She said Qatar is committed to a holistic approach in delivering mental healthcare, which includes psychiatry, psychotherapy, and community care.

B.C. government targets TransLink fare evaders through new legislation
New legislation introduced by B.C.’s transportation minister today (May 7) will give TransLink the power to go after transit users who don’t pay their fare-evasion fines.
Through the changes to the South Coast British Columbia Transportation Authority Act introduced by Transportation and Infrastructure Minister Blair Lekstrom, fare evaders who don’t pay their fines will be unable to renew their driver’s licence and vehicle registration.
TransLink will also have the power to use small claims court and collection agencies to retrieve unpaid fines, to impose continually escalating fines and interest over time, and to refuse transit service until tickets are paid.
“People who have been stealing from the transit in Metro Vancouver have been put on notice: the free ride will be over,” Lekstrom said in the B.C. legislature as he introduced the bill this afternoon. “While most people pay their fares, those that are caught without fares and ticketed will face serious consequences if they do not pay.”
Under the legislation, TransLink will have the authority to collect fines, set fine amounts, and resolve disputes. The revenue from fines will go towards fine administration, dispute resolution services, and collection costs. The organization will be required to report annually about the fine revenue and collection process.
The legislative changes are intended to take effect this summer, according to the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure.
