He’s a co-founder of Sixties pop-rock titans the Byrds, and his distinctive 12-string Rickenbacker jangle is one of the most influential and imitated guitar sounds of the past 53 years. Oh, his playing also inspired a Beatles song and he helped invent country rock. But what Guitar World readers really want to know is…
I always thought it was brilliant that you inserted a bit of J.S. Bach’s “Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desiring” into the guitar solo for The Byrds’ “She Don’t Care About Time” in 1965. what inspired that? —Harry Falstaff
I was always a fan of Pete Seeger, and he put out an album called Goofing-Off Suite  where he played “Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desiring” on the banjo. So I learned to play that on the banjo too. And then when I got to the studio to record “She Don’t Care About Time,” I remembered it and just threw it in there. George Harrison was in the studio that day; I think George and Paul had come to watch us record. George liked that a lot [laughs].
You and former Byrd Chris Hillman are teaming up with Marty Stuart for a U.S. tour that pays tribute to the Byrds’ Sweetheart of the Rodeo album, which turns 50 this fall. What about the tour are you looking forward to most? —Jules Santorelli
First of all, it’s great to get back together with Chris; I haven’t done that in many years. But we’re playing with Marty Stuart and his band, the Fabulous Superlatives, and they’re excellent. And, of course, Marty’s got Clarence White’s Telecaster, and he knows all of Clarence’s licks. So it’s really like getting back together with Clarence and playing those songs.
What can you tell me about your brand-new studio album, Sweet Memories? —John MacDonald
It’s a lot of fun to listen to! We’ve been driving cross-country, and it’s really good driving music. I rerecorded “Mr. Tambourine Man,” “Turn! Turn! Turn!” and “So You Want to Be a Rock ‘n’ Roll Star” plus a new version of “Chestnut Mare” called “Chestnut Mare Christmas” with Marty Stuart on guitar. I actually played all the instruments on the album except for that one song. Then we added seven other songs we’d written, plus another one that’s really funny called “Friday,” which has an interesting back story.
There’s this girl named Rebecca Black. Around 2011, her mother bought her a recording and video session from this company in California. They had two songs pre-written, and she could take her pick, so she picked a song about Fridays — you know, everybody’s looking forward to the weekend and so on. So she recorded this video and it went viral; she got more than 100 million views on You-Tube. This guy Nate Herman from Second City in Chicago — he’s an actor and musician — he decided to make a spoof of the video, and I ran across it a few years ago. In the spoof video, he’s in a record shop talking about a song Bob Dylan had written called “Friday,” but the tape had been erased and lost and so on. But they found a video of it by the Byrds in a thrift shop in Venice, California, that was labeled “head cleaner.” You can find the Nate Herman video on YouTube if you search for the Byrds’ “Friday.” Anyway, I thought it was so funny, so I recorded it.
In my opinion, the late Clarence White of the Byrds was one of the greatest guitarists of all time. What was he like as a person? —Damien Linotte
He was a delight to play with. He was a brilliant guitar player, probably the best one I’ve ever worked with. I compare him to Jimi Hendrix or Eric Clapton. He was excellent, and he also was a very good friend. The night before he was killed by a drunk driver [July 15, 1973], he came to my birthday party. He said we should get together and work together some more. It doesn’t have to be the Byrds or anything, but it would be great to work together. I said sure, and I was ready to do that. Then he got hit by a car.
What was it about Clarence White’s playing style that you appreciated the most? —Zakk Kyle Jr.
Clarence had a way of syncopating things, and he was unpredictable. He never played the same licks twice, really. He’d just go into it and improvise every time. He was almost like a jazz guy.
Besides the Sweetheart of the Rodeo album, what other songs will you be playing on the Sweetheart of the Rodeo 50th Anniversary tour? —Midge Lessons
We’re gonna do Byrds songs that led up to the recording of Sweetheart of the Rodeo — songs that we did back on Turn! Turn Turn! like “Satisfied Mind,” and then onto “Girl with No Name” from Younger Than Yesterday and “Old John Robertson” from The Notorious Byrd Brothers, plus “Mr. Spaceman.” Pretty much anything the Byrds did that was country-ish before we went to Nashville to record Sweetheart of the Rodeo.
It’s well known that seeing George Harrison in the Beatles’ first film, A Hard Day’s Night, inspired you to get a 12-string Rickenbacker. Two years later, your 12-string playing style was the main influence behind Harrison’s “If I Needed Someone.” Did you guys eventually become friends? —Fred Freelancer
We were friends, and we did hang out together from time to time. Interestingly, the first thing he ever learned to play on the guitar was the first thing I’d learned to play on guitar. It was the lead break from Gene Vincent’s Woman Love, the flipside of “Be-Bop-A-Lula.” He was in Liverpool and I was in Chicago, and we both learned how to play the same song.
I’ve always been a fan of your  Back from Rio album, which featured appearances by Elvis Costello, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers and more. I know how and why you met Tom, but how’d you get hooked up with Elvis? —Stephen Longo
I met Elvis Costello at Storyville New Orleans probably around 30 years ago — before Jimmy Buffet bought it and turned it into Margaritaville. It was a famous old club. Elvis showed up. He was at my gig and came backstage after the show. He asked me if he could play my Rickenbacker, and I said sure. He started to play it and went, “Wow, this is hard to play!” So we got to be friends, and we bump into each other at airports and everything. I did a gig in Boston and he showed up — stuff like that. Anyway, I asked him if he’d like to be involved with Back from Rio, so he wrote “You Bowed Down.”
What’s up with your signature seven-string Martin guitar? What’s the extra string — and why? —Kristi Branford
It’s got a high G string. What I did was try to get the best part of a 12-string on a six-string. I was on the Concord from Paris to New York, and they promised they’d treat our guitars really well. But I got to New York, took my guitar out and it was all smashed. I thought, man, it’s not a good idea to carry a six-string and a 12-string acoustic; I’d like to get the best of both on one guitar. So I went to Dick Boak at Martin Guitar. We had lunch together and drew out the plans on a napkin. He made a seven-string prototype in the custom shop. But before he could send it to me, a couple of guitarists came and played it and they said they wanted one too. So they made a whole run of them. I think they made about 260 HD7’s, which are around $5,000. The European market said they wanted one that wasn’t quite so expensive, so they made the D7 and took out the mother-of-pearl abalone. It’s pretty much the same guitar. Basically, it’s got the best part of a 12-string — you can play leads up and down the neck like George Harrison used to do.
What’s your favorite amp to use with your Rickenbacker? —Gib Dumoulin
I don’t really use an amp with the Rickenbacker much, but when I do, I use a Roland JC-120. I have a Roland Cube 80 that I carry with me, but I prefer to go through the board, which is what I did at the Columbia Records studio.
Which Byrds lineup was your favorite? —Phil Wall
Well, I’ll divide it into recording and performing. The first band was better in the studio, but then, by the time it evolved to where we had Clarence White on guitar, we were better on the road than in the studio. It was a really hot performing band. There were good things about both versions — or of the many versions of the Byrds. The first one was great. We had hits with “Mr. Tambourine Man” and “Turn! Turn! Turn!” right off the bat, but then we eventually got Clarence, who I’ve compared to Jimi Hendrix, so that was a great band.
Sweetheart of the Rodeo wasn’t exactly a hit when it came out in 1968. What did you think of it at the time, and are you surprised by the legendary status it’s achieved all these years later? —Andy Winters
Well, we loved it. We wouldn’t have recorded it if we didn’t love it [laughs]. But obviously we weren’t doing it for commercial reasons; we were doing it just out of the love of the music. I was quite surprised that it didn’t go over better than it did when it came out because we loved it so much, so we thought everybody would pick up on that. But there was a misunderstanding. The country people thought we were interlopers and the rock-and-roll people thought we’d sold out to the country crowd. It took about 40 years for it to catch on, but gradually it became more and more revered. It’s probably the most-respected Byrds album of all time, which is weird.
What’s the real reason you recorded over Gram Parsons’ lead vocals on “The Christian Life” on Sweetheart of the Rodeo? —Brian Cancemi
It was because [singer-songwriter-producer] Lee Hazlewood had a contract with Gram at the time. They resolved that, but I had already overdubbed a few vocals at that point. It wasn’t a personal thing.
What’s your favorite Byrds album from the Clarence White era? —Hank Brennan
I guess it'd be Untitled .
What happened to your original Byrds-era 12-string Rickenbacker 360? I heard it was stolen at some point. —Gary Owen
Yeah, it got stolen, and it resurfaced maybe 20 years ago for a lot of money — and then it kind of disappeared. I haven’t seen it lately.

An agent of the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration turned himself in to the Marion County Jail on Sept. 6, the same day he was charged with criminally negligent homicide for his role in a collision that killed a Salem cyclist.
Samuel Landis, 38, was booked, had his mugshot taken and was released after posting $2,000 bail that same day, according to court documents made public on Thursday, Sept. 14.
A Marion County grand jury indicted Landis, a special agent of the DEA, on a single count. The charge came over five months after the collision that killed Marganne Allen, a cyclist and state official.
The agent is scheduled to be arraigned at 9 a.m. on Wednesday Sept. 20, in Marion County Circuit Court, court records showed.
“The Marion County District Attorney’s Office does not comment on some cases that fall in a particular legal posture until after an arraignment in open court has occurred,” Deputy District Attorney Brendan Murphy said in an email Thursday.
Murphy did not immediately respond to a written question about whether prosecutors asked that the indictment be treated as confidential.
The DEA has declined to answer whether Landis is still employed by the federal agency.
The charge alleges that the agent killed Allen with “criminal negligence,” according to the indictment. Criminally negligent homicide is a class B felony punishable by up to 10 years in prison.
District Attorney Paige Clarkson that day requested that a warrant be issued for Landis’s arrest.
Salem Reporter has requested records from Clarkson’s office about arrangements made with Landis or his attorney for his surrender.
Court records listed his home address as the DEA’s Salem office.
Landis was ordered as part of his release conditions to not drive a vehicle without a valid license and insurance, possess weapons or alcohol, or enter bars or taverns.
The charge became public when it was posted in Marion County Circuit records but was removed for a week after Salem Reporter reported on the indictment.
Under Oregon law, criminal negligence means the person failed to be aware of a “substantial and unjustifiable risk,” and that failure “constitutes a gross deviation from the standard of care that a reasonable person would observe in the situation.”
Grand jury proceedings were held on July 21, Aug. 24 and Aug. 31, according to the indictment. Grand jurors heard from 18 witnesses, including Landis and three others identified as working for the DEA.
Allen, 53, was riding home from her state job when she collided at the intersection of Southeast High and Leslie Streets with a pickup truck that police said was driven by an on-duty DEA agent.
Video obtained by Salem Reporter showed that the driver of the pickup truck sped down Leslie Street, drove past a stop sign without stopping and into the intersection at High Street where the crash occurred.
The Salem Police Department announced three days after the cyclist’s death that it was transferring its investigation of the collision to the Keizer Police Department because it was partners in a task force with the DEA.

History has shown that a steady diet of strength work with the right doses of pressure, patience and time mix to create the best cross country runners. Tim Moore of Novi High School in Michigan provides us with yet another example as he earned an individual victory at the Foot Locker National meet in Orlando, FL on December 8th.
In a tight race to the tape, Tim edged ahead of Bobby Lockhart of Virginia in the final yards, clocking a time of 14:50 over the 5K course. Just 1.1 seconds separated the two in the closest boy’s finish in history. "I knew the pace would be fast without a pre-race favorite," Tim recalls. "I wanted to make a move sometime after the mile-and-a-half point when it felt right, but it never really happened until the end. Everyone was tired."
Crossing the line, Tim initiated a long string of finishers. Six runners finished within 10 seconds, all under fifteen minutes. Tim led the Midwest to an impressive team finish with 38 points, four ahead of the West in a close battle from the gun to the tape.
After finishing eighth at last year’s Foot Locker Championships, Tim has dominated this fall’s campaign winning his division of the Michigan state meet and then taking the Midwest Foot Locker regional. The national victory capped a superb season backing up his top returning finisher status from 2000.
His accumulated strength has been a main factor in Tim’s evolution as a distance runner. In preparation for the fall, Tim logged 80 to 90 mile weeks building a strong foundation for the long season ahead. During the season he dropped the mileage to 70 to 80 miles a week with sessions of 1,000 meter intervals on Novi’s home course. Tim then shortened the interval length to 200 and 400 meters on the track, keeping the rest short to peak for nationals.
Although Tim will tell you himself that he lacks pure leg speed, strength is often a better substitute for speed in such tight, grueling cross country battles. It is that strength that kept him with the leaders pushing the demanding pace and positioned him for the win.
Looking ahead to the upcoming track season, Tim plans to focus on the two mile asserting again that "the mile is just too much pure leg speed."
After finishing fourth last year at the adidas Outdoor Championships with a 9:03 two mile, all signs indicate more great things to come. As Tim continues to mature and gain strength, his performances continue to improve.
In fall, Tim will travel to South Bend, IN to join the Fighting Irish harrier squad at Notre Dame. As with many seniors, Tim has not yet pinpointed a major. He looks to focus his academic studies in mathematics or the sciences.

Frequently asked questions about Contribute™
My friend was telling me that supplementing with omega-3 fatty acids decreased the level of inflammation in horses with arthritis. Is this true?
Yes, there have been several studies that have shown that the addition of EPA and DHA omega-3 fatty acids to the diet may be beneficial for horses with existing arthritis. Here’s an article about one of the studies that was done at Texas A&M University, titled “Markers of Inflammation in Arthritic Horses Fed Omega-3 Fatty Acids.”
Studies have shown omega-3 fatty acids to be beneficial in increasing stride length, indicating they play a role in maintaining joint health. Horses supplemented with omega-3 fatty acids from plant sources exhibit a reduced inflammatory response to exercise increasing the likeliness that they will remain sound and healthy. Current studies are looking at the possible benefits of supplementation with omega-3 in decreasing exercise-induced pulmonary hemorrhage (EIPH), commonly referred to as “bleeding” in performance horses.
Yes. Contribute omega-3 fatty acid supplement is a great alternative to corn oil. Corn oil, an old standby for many horse people, is high in omega-6 fatty acids, whereas Contribute is high in omega-3 fatty acids that are healthier for your horse. Contribute will put the same shine in your horse’s coat, while also supporting a lower inflammatory response throughout his body.
My horse has trouble with skin allergies. A friend told me to feed omega-3 fatty acids. Will this really help?
Yes. Because omega-3 fatty acids help reduce inflammation, supplementation has shown a positive effect in mitigating allergic reactions, including skin allergies and seasonal pruritus (sweet itch).
Yes, it does. Research has proven that the omega-3 fatty acid DHA has a positive effect on both sperm output and quality. If you are shipping semen, DHA’s beneficial effect on the sperm’s cell membrane improves its ability to withstand cooling and freezing.
Yes. Mares consuming diets high in omega-3 also have colostrum and milk with elevated levels. Foals whose dams have been fed a diet rich in omega-3 have elevated serum levels of the nutrient, which supports a stronger immune system.
Yes; unfortunately this is often true. Horses evolved to exist on a grass-based diet high in omega-3 fatty acids and low in omega-6 fatty acids. In an effort to support the increasing energy demands made on modern horses, man introduced large amounts of grains into equine diets. These grains are high in omega-6 fatty acids. Along with increases in the amount of grain, most horses now eat processed forages like hay that are also low in omega-3 fatty acids. One of the best natural sources of omega-3 fatty acids is fresh green grass, yet many horses spend very limited time on lush pasture. These typical modern management practices throw the critical 6 to 3 ratio out of whack. Supplementing with a high-quality omega-3 fatty acid helps brings the ratio back into balance.
Here is a quick summary of which horses may benefit from omega-3 fatty acids and why.
Foals and young, growing horses
- Strengthens the immune system
- Reduces systemic inflammation, which might interfere with proper growth
Broodmares and stallions
- Strengthens the immune system
- Supports higher fertility rates
- Protects cell membranes in semen during cooling and freezing
- Decreases inflammation, reduces joint pain, increases stride length
- Lower inflammatory response to exercise
- Possibility of supporting decreased exercise-induced pulmonary hemorrhage (EIPH), commonly referred to as “bleeding” (research is ongoing)
Seniors and special-needs horses
- Improved immune function
- Lessens arthritis inflammation and pain
- Reduces allergic reactions, such as skin allergies, hives and COPD (heaves)
- Decreases inflammation associated with laminitis and arthritis
What is the difference between omega-3 fatty acids and omega-6 fatty acids and how do they affect my horse?
Omega fatty acids are known as essential fatty acids because they cannot be synthesized in the body and must be provided in the diet. Omega fatty acids are split into two categories: omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids. Both are necessary to the well-being of the horse; however, it is the amount of both of these acids relative to each other that is most important for overall health. Functioning at the cellular level, omega fatty acids impact the cell membrane, thereby influencing every system in the body. When properly balanced, the two types of fatty acids work in concert to keep your horse healthy.
Omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids are metabolized by cells in the body and used in the synthesis of hormone-like substances called prostaglandins. The primary function of these prostaglandins is the regulation of essential body functions such as blood clotting, blood pressure, immune and inflammatory response. Prostaglandins produced from the omega-6 series typically have a pro-inflammatory response and increase blood clotting, whereas those produced from the omega-3 series tend to have the opposite effect by mitigating the inflammatory response and decreasing blood clotting. Both the omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids compete for the same enzymes in the production of these prostaglandins, so it is the ratio of the omega-6 to omega-3 that has the greatest influence over inflammatory response and other vital body functions. When an abundance of omega-6 acids are consumed relative to the amount of omega-3, cells increase the production of prostaglandins from the omega-6 series, leading to an increase in inflammation, which, over time, leads to multiple health problems.
Alpha-linolenic acid is the most common omega-3 fatty acid and is found in plants. While horses generally obtain alpha-linolenic acid by eating grass and hay, flaxseed and linseed oil are the most concentrated sources of this nutrient.
The omega-3 fatty acids known as EPA and DHA have also been identified as beneficial to the horse. These are longer-chain fatty acids and are generally found in fish oils. Shorter chain acids, like alpha-linolenic acid, can be converted into the longer chain acids EPA and DHA; however, this process is very inefficient, hence the benefits to provide them in the diet.

Innovative technologies will always be met with ample criticism and resistance during the initial stage. In terms of rolling out 5G technology, the protests are turning rather violent all over the world.
All over the world, 5G technology is getting plenty of negative attention.
5G Activists Turn Violent in The Netherlands
In some countries, there are conspiracy theories regarding 5G spreading the coronavirus.
Albeit those theories are completely fake, it is evident that this negative attention doesn’t bode well for the future rollout of 5G.
In The Netherlands, things are turning more violent in recent weeks.
Earlier this week, several towers were damaged or set alight by activists.
This has nothing to do with coronavirus conspiracy theories, however.
Instead, the activists are concerned about other possible health risks and privacy violations.
Towers across Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Liessel, Nuenen, and Beesd have all been severely damaged.
It seems unlikely that these attempts will hinder the actual rollout of this technology, however.
It is a crucial technology to further transform society into a digital world.
Especially for hospitals, 5G connectivity can make a world of difference once it gets rolled out on a larger scale.
That being said, these protests should not be ignored either.
Addressing any concerns people may have has to take priority over everything else.

A CHILDCARE operator hopes to create a farm-style centre but nearby residents fear it will have a negative effect on their rural lifestyle.
Wanneroo Council this month approved Atlantis Group’s revised plans for a centre on a special residential property between rural Mariginiup and suburban Banksia Grove.
The council rejected the original proposal for a centre that could accommodate up to 120 children and 21 staff last October because it was “not considered compatible with the surrounding residential and special rural land uses”.
Other reasons for refusal included the potential negative impact of increased noise and traffic on surrounding residents and removal of 20 trees.
Atlantis Group appealed to the State Administrative Tribunal (SAT) and through mediation, revised its plans, reducing the scale by about 20 per cent to accommodate up to 92 children and 17 staff.
The number of parking bays was also reduced from 37 to 29.
Neighbours concerned about impacts of noise, traffic
The City received 13 submissions during public consultation for the revised plans, with 12 objecting to it and one in support.
The main issues were similar to objections raised for the original proposal, including its appropriateness in the special residential zone as well as traffic and noise impacts.
“The applicant through the submission of amended plans has, in administration’s view, suitably addressed the concerns raised,” a council report said.
Objections also referred to a caveat between landowners and the developer Landstart, but the report said the City was not party to that agreement and had no ability to enforce it.
“A childcare centre is a discretionary land use in the special residential zone, which makes it capable of approval,” it said.
Several people gave deputations before the May 7 council meeting, including Constance O’Brien who asked the council to “remain firm on their refusal”.
The entry to the childcare centre will be on Greenvale Place, which the Mariginiup resident said was a local access road for the Lake Adams equestrian estate.
“There’s normally movement of horses and children on this road,” she said.
Rural residents argued that the 5000sq m special residential lots were created as a buffer between the suburban and rural areas to protect amenity in the latter, and that a non-residential use was not appropriate.
Direct neighbour Lee-Anne Crisp said she bought the special residential property because it was spacious and “92 children playing next door to me is not low density”.
Another neighbour Karun Cowper said residents passionately cared about the lifestyle they were trying to maintain.
He said the childcare centre would have been more appropriate in the Banksia Grove commercial area.
Geoff Westlake gave a deputation against it as well, saying planning laws prevented businesses with more than four employees from operating on special residential land.
He said the type of child care permitted was a family day care where the operator lived on the property and ran it as a home business.
Population growth drives demand for childcare places
Banksia Grove resident Jaime Perry spoke in support of the childcare centre.
“There’s a shortage of child care centres in the suburb – my kids are on waitlists for multiple childcare centres,” he said.
“It’s a bit of a nightmare to try and get them to childcare centres that are miles away.
“Banksia Grove is a rapidly growing area; there are a lot of young families.
“(The centre) would ease a lot of pressure on parents like myself.”
Atlantis Group owner Bob Hindle said with more families moving into the area, an extra 1500 childcare places needed to be provided.
Mr Hindle said the City of Wanneroo also needed to add 2800 jobs each year to reach employment self-sufficiency targets.
Asked whether the business had looked at commercial sites nearby, he said they were suitable for “brick and concrete” centres but wouldn’t provide the outdoor play space the semi-rural block would.
Council approves revised childcare centre plans
Councillor Dot Newton, who moved the original alternative motion to refuse the childcare centre, moved the May 7 recommendation to approve revised plans.
Cr Newton said it was not an easy decision, but SAT could approve it if the council knocked it back again.
“Past experience has told me we should not go down that path as we have no certainty,” she said.
Several councillors raised concerns SAT could approve it without conditions and Cr Paul Miles said it could cost the City up to $100,000 in legal fees defending another refusal.
The staff recommendation to approve the development was carried with seven councillors’ support – Mayor Tracey Roberts and Crs Samantha Fenn, Hugh Nguyen and Frank Cvitan voted against it.
The council report said the property had 79 mature native trees, 11 exotic or fruit trees and 32 native plants.
It said 32 trees would be removed, including 15 for the bushfire management plan, but the owner planned to plant 33 native trees to replace them.
Council conditions restrict operating hours to between 7am and 7pm on weekdays, and require installation of a 1.8m high solid screen as well as a noise management plan.
Cr Newton asked that the City approach Main Roads to reduce the speed limit on Greenvale Place and install horse warning signs.
Ambitious plan to create farm-style childcare centre
The father and son team behind a farm-style childcare plan in Banksia Grove have been involved in the industry for two decades.
Atlantis Group Bob Hindle has been operating childcare businesses in the northern suburbs for the past 22 years and his son Rory bought into the business about five years ago.
They bought a semi-rural property on Harbour Elbow last year, where they want to provide children with space to play in nature.
“Here children will be fully immersed in daily nature play, agriculture and environmental teachings,” Rory said.
“There will be nature play structures built, as well as open space.
“The existing agriculture on the grounds will remain, with children being encouraged to assist with the up-keep.”
They said the Banksia Grove centre would have recycle bins and soft plastic recycle bins for REDcycle drop off, chickens to eat food scraps, a worm farm, composting and a vegetable garden.
“We have also committed to planting more trees than we remove during the process of construction and renovation,” Rory said.
“The building itself will wrap around a cluster of trees with a completely glass facade.
“We will be building some Carnaby’s cockatoo habitats for the periphery of our property to restore some of the lost environments for these critically endangered birds.”
The Hindles acknowledged community resistance to the project, and said they were keen to engage with the community and support events within the community.
“We want to be part of the Banksia Grove community and believe there is great need for this service,” Rory said.
“We will continue to work with residents and the local community to minimise their concerns.”

Diary 27th April
I thought I’d mention Rosemary Kenyon Timperley, teacher of English and History, hospital nurse, police canteen assistant, waitress and artist’s model. During the 1950s she worked with the editorial staff at “Reveille” magazine which was very popular with its light entertainment pages and tastefully posed glamour models. She wrote short stories, too, some with a supernatural content, and became a prolific novelist.
Sundial Press have published a (long overdue) collection of her best supernatural stories titled “From Another World”. In the introduction, Ms. Timperley has this to say about the supernatural:
“As a little child I was first consciously introduced to ghosts when my aunt read aloud to me Dickens’ A Christmas Carol. Marley’s ghost interested me, but I was unalarmed as I didn’t believe in him. I thought privately that I could invent that sort of thing myself if I had a mind to.
“ For years I regarded ghost stories as fascinating but no more credible than, say, Cinderella or The Little Mermaid—beloved favourites, but one did suspend belief.
Even when I found Walter de la Mare’s The Listeners, fell in love with it, recited it in the bath or to long-suffering human listeners, I still didn’t really believe a word of it.
“ But I always stayed interested in ghosts and, in spite of my scepticism, enjoyed writing ghost stories, pleasantly giving myself the willies and earning some unghostly money at the same time.
“As a teacher, I found that the children loved having ghost stories read to them, and their cries, gasps, shivers and “Cor, Miss ! Smashing ! Read us another!” was fun for everyone.
“This sceptic’s paradise of mine continued until I was over forty, and then something happened. I had a long illness, involv¬ing months in hospital. The drugs I had to take and the claustrophobic, almost witchlike atmosphere of an all-female ward, had an effect on my mind – and I heard Voices.
“No need for details. Teresa of Avila, Joan of Arc, Emily Bronte, Evelyn Waugh and others have already described this experience to perfection. Indeed, schizophrenia is not such a rare condition. Many people go through it at some time or other when they have been under stress and “escape” from so-called normality. But the point is that, whatever the medical explanation, I really did hear those Voices, which doctors call “auditory hallucinations”. I realised with shock and terror that there were such things as spirits in the air about us, and that I’d been playing ignorantly with ghost-fire for all of my previous life….”
It is a very good collection of stories and reasonably priced for a limited edition. And, frankly, it’s the brilliant work of an author who, when alive, described herself as living “alone in an old-fashioned flat and existing on black coffee, pink gin and cigarettes”.
I heartily agreed with Jim Harrison when he said:
“The simple act of opening a bottle of wine has brought more happiness to the human race than all the collective governments in the history of earth…”
So that’s it. Old lovers reduced to words on a page. All the hope, the promise…the rejection and regret. It’s all there for anyone to see.

Thane, Feb 7: Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray on Friday refused to comment on Wadhvan Port, for which, the union cabinet gave an approval for the mega container port in neighbouring district in Dahanu on Wednesday.
He was in Dombivali city on Thursday. When he was asked his comment on the Wadhvan port, he simply said, Vadhavan port does not come under Kalyan-Dombivili limits.
The union cabinet on Wednesday gave an in principle approval for the mega container port at Vadhavan in Dahanu at a cost of Rs. 65,545 crore. When ready it will be among the world’s top 10 container ports.
It may be recalled that the locals had opposed the port tooth and nail and the government had to give it up then. The locals have once again renewed their agitation against the port and are ready to knock the doors of the courts for the same and are planning series of agitations which will follow.
After 22 years the controversial issue of Vadhavan has erupted in the district. The port itself was announced for the first time at a programme 'Advantage Maharashtra' at England and it was between 1996 and 1998 the locals resisted the port. A Vadhavan Bunder Virodhi samiti has also been set up for the purpose of the locals. Between 1998 and 2014, the proposal came to a standstill and the political parties fought the elections on this single issue and the late MP Chintaman Wanaga got elected on this issue to the Lok Sabha.
The Shiv Sena also took a strong note of the same and Uddhav Thackeray then declared that the Sena was with the locals and opposed the project tooth and nail.
Narayan Patil, the president of the Samiti said that the samiti will now fight a legal battle against the proposed port and also challenging the proposed dissolution of the Dahanu Taluka Environment Protection Authority he said. (UNI)

The Cathedral of St. James (Croatian: Katedrala sv. Jakova) in Šibenik, Croatia is a triple-nave basilica with three apses and a dome (32 m high inside) in the city of Šibenik, Croatia. It is the church of the Catholic Church in Croatia, and the see of the Šibenik diocese. It is also the most important architectural monument of the Renaissance in the entire country. Since 2000, the Cathedral has been on the UNESCO World Heritage List.
It is often mistakenly known as "St Jacob's", because Croatian, like many other languages, uses the same name for both "James"and "Jacob". It is dedicated to Saint James the Greater.
The building of the church was initiated in 1402, though plans on its construction had already begun in 1298, when Šibenik became a municipality. The actual work to transform the older Romanesque cathedral began in 1431. Built entirely of stone (limestone from a nearby stone quarry and marble from the island of Brač), it was completed in three phases, from 1433 to 1441, when the Grand City Council entrusted the work to local and Italian masters Francesco di Giacomo, Lorenzo Pincino, Pier Paolo Bussato, Andrija Budčić, Grubiš Šlafčić, Bonino da Milano, and Giorgio da Sebenico (Juraj Dalmatinac).
Initially, it was conceived as a simple church. With tremendous skill, Giorgio da Sebenico combined architectural and decorative elements to create a unified entity. He constructed the western main portal, the northern portal (The Lion Gate) and the first chapel. The motif of the Lion Gate are Adam and Eve standing on two lions, which is also seen at the Trogir Cathedral, but here Adam and Eve are on columns over the lions. This gate as a side entrance forms an artistic trinity with the abbey of San Leonardo di Siponto. Furthermore, the angels on the ceiling of Hagia Sophia are on the ceiling of the cathedral of San Marco in Venice, where are the horses of the Hippodrome of Constantinople, and on the ceiling of the Trogir cathedral, too. Over the Lion Gate of the Šibenik cathedral are the coat of arms of two bishops and of the procurator of the church of Saint Saviour in Šibenik. The church of Saint Saviour in Šibenik became part of the barrack in the 18th century. The coat of arms of this procurator shows two bars. The drawing on the ceiling over the Imperial Gate of the Hagia Sophia in Constantinople shows two bars, too. This forms an artistic trinity between the church of St.Saviour in Šibenik, the city of Šibenik and the Hagia Sophia. The crest of this coat of arms shows a lion holding a sun. This forms an artistic trinity between the church of St.Saviour in Šibenik, the San Marco cathedral in Venice with its lion of San Marco, and the abbey of San Leonardo di Siponto, which ceiling is designed according the astronomical midday. This procurator was elected by the great assembly of the people of the city of Šibenik, which financed this building. The title of a procurator carried immense prestige. In Venice there was just one procurator, the Procurator of San Marco. In the period between 1441 and 1473 the building work was directed by Giorgio, who was invited to come from Venice as the investors were not satisfied with the beginning of the work. His first contract in 1441 was concluded for a period of 6 years to build just a simple church, but another contract of 10 years followed the first one in 1446.
Such a master of his art was difficult to find even then. However, until the cathedral was finished, there were a large number of procurators in Šibenik such as the Procurator of the factory of Santa Maria. The Pope in Rome was asked to meet the procurators in Šibenik, but it is not known if they meet personally. In 1451, the bishops of Venice became Patriarchs of Venice. Most of the procurators in Šibenik remained anonymous. Their portraits are outside on the wall of the cathedral. Some of these heads on the facade have a damaged nose, probably due to vandalism. Indeed, until Justinian II this was the expression to discredit the reputation of someone, and so it was necessary that this individuals remained anonymous. They considered that too little for the money spent, so Giorgio altered the plan: he enlarged the cathedral with a side nave and apses, so that the ground plan of the cathedral was in the shape of a cross, and prepared it for the dome, built the presbytery, sanctuary and his masterpiece, the baptistery.
Giorgio combined the mentioned artistic trinities of the 6 mentioned locations in the ground plan. St. Saviour as the apses, the city of Šibenik as the Lion Gate vis-a-vis of the abbey of San Leonardo di Siponto, Saint John (Trogir cathedral) as the central nave what is also symbolized by an eagle as the John the Evangelist's symbol outside on the wall over the main entrance, the San Marco cathedral in Venice as one side nave and the Hagia Sophia in Constantinople as the other side nave. The extension of the line from the main entrance to the apse shows towards Jerusalem, but as an orthodromic distance curve shows towards the obelisk of the Karnak Temple, from where are the sphinxes in the Diocletian's Palace in Split. The description of the Karnak temple by an unknown "Venetian"was brought to Venice in 1589 and is now in the Biblioteca Nazionale Centrale di Firenze. The apses are decorated on the outside with various sculptural decorations, including 74 small Renaissance portraits immortalising important contemporaries and figures who had for some reason particularly impressed the architect or that deemed to tight to help foot the bill for the cathedral's construction. The extension of the line from the main entrance to the Lion Gate shows towards the Split Cathedral. Giorgio worked probably on the cathedral up to his death in 1475 and certainly until 1473.
Between 1475 and 1505 the work was overseen by Tuscan master Niccolò di Giovanni Fiorentino (Nicola Firentinac), from the Donatello school of sculpture who developed as a sculptor and builder in Dalmatia. He continued the building in the Tuscan Renaissance style, completing the extensive galleries, building the vault in the central nave, the outer sculptures of St. Michael, St. James and St. Mark. The drawing of this sculpture of St. Michael became also the coat of arms of the city of Šibenik, because in the 12th century the justiciar of Monte Sant'Angelo, who was from Siponto, was sent by Pope Alexander III as a notifier to Šibenik. According to the Longobard writer Pavlo Đakon from the year 642, Croats have many ships under the city of Siponto. St. James, because James and John were with their father by the seashore when Jesus called them. Another St. John was bishop of Trogir. Šibenik and Trogir as sovereign city-states had with each other treaties of alliance, but the duke was annoyed, after which he was driven out of Trogir. The barrel roof is made from a line of enormous stone slabs and considered a marvel of construction at the time, and the upper façade. He also built the triforias (parallel galleries) and worked on the presbytery and sanctuary.
Although the dome of Šibenik Cathedral was built after the dome in Florence, Niccolò di Giovanni Fiorentino used an octagonal drum in its construction, before Bramante and Michelangelo, in its original function as the transition from the square base to the circular dome. The execution of the cupola is considered one of the best achievements of Renaissance architecture.
Inside the cathedral there are four large, evenly matched columns on which the dome rests. The builder decorated the capitals and came to arrangements with the nobles who were to finance the building of chapels, on condition that they would be free to choose their own builders.In the first chapel on the right-side, there is the sarcophagus of the bishop, humanist and writer Juraj Šižgorić (1420-1509) which is the work of Andrija Aleši based on a design by Juraj Dalmatinac. Aleši also created the statue of St. Elijah which stands behind the bishop's throne. On the left-hand side is the sarcophagus of Bishop Ivan Štafilič, during whose life the cathedral was completed. Beneath the choir there are the graves of two bishops, which reliefs: on the right Bishop Calegari and on the left, Bishop Spingarola. The latter is the work of the local artist Antun Nogulovič.
Opposite the famous Altar of the Holy Cross (Sveti Križ) made by Juraj Čulinovič (Giorgio Schiavone) is buried (1433 or 1446-1505). On the altar there is a painting by Felipe Zaniberti. Amongst other altars to the left of the entrance is the Altar of the Holy Three Kings with a painting by Bernardo Rizzardi, according to the ground plan of Juraj Dalmatinac (see above). The fragments of the mosaic of the Holy Three Kings in St. Mark's Basilica in Venice are now in the Museo Marciano in Venice. The sides of the altar are decorated with reliefs of two angels holding the scroll of Nikola Firentinac, set into shell-shaped niches. The Cathedral Treasury includes works by the Renaissance master Horacije Fortezza of Šibenik (1530-1596), an exceptional goldsmith and miniaturist.
After Fiorentino died in 1505, the construction was finally completed in 1536 by two other craftsmen, Bartolmeo of Mestra and his son Jacob, completely following Nicholas'instructions. The cathedral officially became consecrated in 1555 after a multitude of Venetian and local craftsmen had worked on it, in Gothic style. Most of the restoration was done between 1850 and 1860 and subsequently between 1992 and 1997.
The dome of the church was heavily damaged by the JNA -supported Serb forces during the shelling of Šibenik in September 1991. Within years it was quickly repaired with no damage visible. It is interesting to note that this cathedral has no bell-tower. A tower on the adjoining city walls served this purpose.

An Oregon truck driver charged with felony drug crimes for driving a truckload of hemp to Colorado has agreed to plead guilty to a lesser charge.
The Ada County Prosecutor’s office said Denis Palamarchuk of Portland, Oregon, has agreed to plead guilty to hauling an improperly permitted load, a misdemeanor.
Idaho State Police troopers charged Palamarchuk with drug trafficking earlier this year after stopping his semitruck carrying some 7,000 pounds of hemp biomass for Big Sky Scientific of Aurora, Colorado.
Big Sky is challenging the hemp seizure in hopes of getting its biomass returned. A federal appeals court recently declined to intervene in the case.

Since 1993 Cytoskeleton has provided purified tubulin proteins to the scientific community. We continually strive to provide the purest, most biological active and relevant tubulin proteins, kits and reagents for today's researchers. The kits are designed to enhance the productivity ot the time you have available for research, usually saving months of development time. Kits range from the basic tubulin protein and buffers version, BK015, to the Microtubule Binding Assay, BK029, and the polymerization assays described below. We also provide a kit for producing fluorescent microtubules, BK007R, and one for measuring the ratio of microtubules to subunit tubulin in cell extracts BK038. Detailed information can be found by clicking on the links below.
The Microtubule Binding Spin-down Assay, BK029, uses pre-formed microtubules as a substrate to bind the protein or compound of interest, the bound and non-bound fractions are separated by centrifugation to produce a pellet (bound) and supernatant (non-bound) fractions.
There are two types of tubulin polymerization assay, these are the absorbance and fluorescence formats. In most cases the fluorescence format is recommended because the assay is highly sensitive and economical. The optical density based tubulin polymerization assay (Cat. # BK004P) is highly referenced in scientific literature. The BK006P tubulin polymerization assay uses highly purified tubulin, which is a good secondary screen for determining IC50s and tubulin specificity. The fluorescence tubulin polymerization assay (Cat. # BK011P) is very robust and is well cited in the literature (click on the Citations Tab to see the references to this product).
For more selective anti-cancer drug development a very exciting secondary screen can be achieved using Cancer Cell Line Tubulin. Currently, HeLa and MCF-7 cell line tubulins can be used in the fluorescence polymerization assay (Cat. # H001 and H005, respectively). It has been shown that anti-cancer drugs have different affinities for these tubulins compared to bovine brain (neuronal) tubulin. This indicates that a drug development program aimed at increasing the affinity for cancer cell line tubulin over neuronal tubulin may lead to greater targeting efficiency toward cancer cells.
We also provide HTS assays for other types of tubulins, such as fungal tubulins, plant tubulins, or bacterial tubulin analogs. If you are interested in assaying a specific tubulin not listed on our website, please contact our technical support to discuss how we can provide you with the specific tubulin type you want.
Many publications cite the use of Cytoskeleton's kits in the Materials and Methods section of papers. Usually the citation is associated with a particular result in the form of a graph or image that helps the authors present their findings. This indicates the utility of the Kits to produce publication quality data in a short timeframe thus helping improve the productivity of your efforts. Example citations for tubulin assay kits are shown below. More citations are available on individual product pages.

Question 1: What is the best way to test whether my protein interacts with tubulin?
Answer 1: To examine if your protein of interest interacts with tubulin, we recommend using one of our tubulin polymerization assays (Cat. # BK004P, BK006P or BK011P) for a sensitive measure of how the protein affects one or more of the three phases of polymerization (nucleation, growth and steady state). If microtubule is suspected, we recommend confirming that there are direct interactions between microtubules and your protein of interest with the Microtubule Binding Protein Spin-down Assay Biochem Kit (Cat. # BK029). If tubulin heterodimer subunit binding is suspected (i.e. polymerization is inhibited) then one can coat streptavidin 96-well plates with biotinylated tubulin (Cat. # T333P) to create a tubulin subunit capture surface. Then the compound or protein can be incubated in the well and binding can be visualized by an HRP detection system using an antibody (or a tag can be conjugated to the test protein) against the compound or protein of interest. Keep in mind that buffer composition is also important as it will need to be low salt (approx 50 mM) and contain MgCl2 (or other divalent cation) and GTP to maintain subunit integrity. For an example of a compatible buffer, see our recipe for general actin buffer (Cat. # BST01-001). Alternatively, the protein of interest could be tagged with GST (avoid reducing agents) and conjugated to the plate and then incubated with biotinylated tubulin and visualized with HRP-conjugated streptavidin.
Question 2: What equipment do I need for the microtubule binding assay?
Answer 2: Equipment required for the assay are an ultracentrifuge capable of centrifuging 50-200 μl volumes at 100,000 x g at 4°C and 24°C is needed. Examples of such centrifuges are the Beckman airfuge with ultraclear tubes (Beckman, cat. # 344718), the SW50 ultracentrifuge rotor with adapters for ultraclear tubes (Beckman, Cat. # 344718) and a Beckman tabletop ultracentrifuge with TLA-100 rotor.
Reagents and components not supplied with the kit include: Laemmli reducing-sample buffer (1x stock, 62.5 mM Tris-HCl pH 6.8, 2% SDS, 10% glycerol, 0.001% bromophenol blue and 5% v/v β-mercaptoethanol) and (5x stock, 300 mM Tris-HCl pH 6.8, 10% SDS, 50% glycerol, 0.005% bromophenol blue and 25% v/v β-mercaptoethanol), polyacrylamide gels (12% or 4-20% gradient gels), SDS-PAGE apparatus and buffers, reagents for the detection of the “test” protein (Coomassie, silver stain or antibody), 50% (v/v) glycerol in Milli-Q water for Cushion Buffer resuspension and TCA solution (50% w/v) in Milli-Q water for protein precipitation if necessary.
The kit contents include: tubulin protein (Cat. # T240), MAP fraction (Cat. # MAPF), BSA protein, general tubulin buffer (Cat. # BST01), cushion buffer (Cat. # BST05-001), salt extraction buffer, GTP stock (Cat. # BST06), taxol stock (Cat. # TXD01) and anhydrous DMSO.
Question 3: What is a good negative control for the microtubule binding reaction?
Answer 3: Actin filaments are a good negative control because they are also negatively charged and pellet like the microtubules under high speed centrifugation. Confirming that your protein of interest does not bind to actin filaments, but does bind to microtubules is additional confirmation that the test protein is a microtubule-associated protein (MAP).

Lived in SA for a long time, this biltong is legit. The spicy one is pretty spicy! I like it but be warned it truly does have a kick
This brought back the memories that I have been longing for. After living in for several years in South Africa i missed the taste of biltong since I moved. Thank you !! The spicy biltong is the absolute best
Good biltong, deserves the title.

2011 MGH 1112 Guafengzhai Green Pu-erh Tea Cake Sample
I have asked if it is possible to taste a genuine Guafengzhai for less, I mean cheap. Well, look no further but at this: MGH 1112, a Guafengzhai tea cake made with big yellow ancient tree leaves.
Some so-called tea experts would tell you big yellow tea leaves are no good since they are picked out from the premium tea leaves.
But what happened after that?
They are not being thrown away, they are the teas enjoyed by the very tea farmer who made them everyday. The argument goes like this: if the premium tea and this big yellow leave tea are harvested from the same tea trees, processed the same way, and they even tasted remarkably the same. The tea farmers love to sell you the premium tea leaves for a premium, only the difference is its look, they laugh at us when we paid 5 times more for the same thing.
Care to take a look at the leaves after brewing (to me they are health and thick):
And its beautiful soup that tastes (yammy).
It offers better taste profile, higher nutritional value with no chemical additive, the big tree/Qiaomu/Arbor material IS the essence of a premium tea. The traditional tried and true processing method was adopted in making of these MGH teas.
You can taste the difference now and in the future when the tea is aged.

MYP is a Singapore Stock Echange main-board listed company with business focus on investments in real estate and real estate-related assets. Jonathan Tahir as an Executive Chairman of this company.
For background, Grace Shine had bought the building for S$175 million in 2011, before MYP acquired in two tranches in 2013 and 2015. Back then, the total cost of acquisition attributable to the property was S$165.8 million. The latest deal price is about 20.6 percent higher than that cost of acquisition, but 23.1 percent lower than the property market value as at March 31 of S$260.1 million.
“It will be sold on an “as is, where is” basis as at the date of the SPA, and subject to and with the benefit of tenancies, leases, licenses or occupation agreements that are subsisting at the deal’ completion,” the management said in an official statement on Sunday (09/28).
In April 2020, Tahir has sold his Indonesian assets in the form of a building he owned to PT Bank Mayapada Internasional Tbk (IDX: MAYA) with a fantastic value of Rp3.5 trillion ($236.48 million). According to the president director, Hariyono Tjahjarijadi, the company had bought Topas Tower in Jakarta, the Mayapada Complex in Surabaya, East Java, and the Plaza Bali in Denpasar from Tahir.
The lender budgeted the funds the purchases of the three assets from internal cash. After the asset sales, the funds will injected back to the bank as the deposit to increases the capital for the bank and to anticipate the impact of the worsening domestic economy due to the COVID-19 outbreak.
The controlling shareholder has made the capital increase twice. First, through the sale of assets, in the form of three buildings and through a cash injection of Rp252.09 billion to Bank Mayapada.

1. Field of the Invention
The field of invention relates to pouring spout apparatus, and more particularly pertains to a new and improved container closure wherein the same is arranged for the selective laminas flow of fluid from an associated container.
2. Description of the Prior Art
Fluid flow from containers of various types is available in the prior art, wherein the use of a closure to limit flow or to promote laminar flow from an associated container is desirable preventing the spillage from the containers during use. Prior art apparatus has been available to direct flow from a container wherein U.S. Pat. No. 4,850,566 to Riggert sets forth a squeezable closure arranged to direct flow from within a container through openings in the closure.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,420,101 to O'Neil sets forth a self-venting squeezable dispensing closure.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,162,749 to Bennett sets forth a squeezable closure arranged with a check ball for controlling fluid flow through the closure.
As such, it may be appreciated that there continues to be a need for a new and improved container closure as set forth by the instant invention which addresses both the problems of ease of use as well as effectiveness in construction and in this respect, the present invention substantially fulfills this need.
In view of the foregoing disadvantages inherent in the known types of container closure apparatus now present in the prior art, the present invention provides a container closure wherein the same is arranged to provide for the selective fluid flow from a container utilizing a cap member to maintain an associated closure in a seated confrontation with a seat portion of an associated pouring spout. As such, the general purpose of the present invention, which will be described subsequently in greater detail, is to provide a new and improved container closure which has all the advantages of the prior art container closure apparatus and none of the disadvantages.
To attain this, the present invention provides a container closure mounted within a spout portion of an associated container, including a cylindrical head arranged for positioning upon a torroidal seat portion of the spout in a first position and displaced from the seat in a second position permitting fluid to flow thereabout, wherein the closure further includes a plurality of pairs of lobes mounted below the head portion of the closure preventing inadvertent removal of the closure from the container. A cap member is arranged for mounting to the spout to position the closure in the first position.
My invention resides not in any one of these features per se, but rather in the particular combination of all of them herein disclosed and claimed and it is distinguished from the prior art in this particular combination of all of its structures for the functions specified.
There has thus been outlined, rather broadly, the more important features of the invention in order that the detailed description thereof that follows may be better understood, and in order that the present contribution to the art may be better appreciated. There are, of course, additional features of the invention that will be described hereinafter and which will form the subject matter of the claims appended hereto. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the conception, upon which this disclosure is based, may readily be utilized as a basis for the designing of other structures, methods and systems for carrying out the several purposes of the present invention. It is important, therefore, that the claims be regarded as including such equivalent constructions insofar as they do not depart from the spirit and scope of the present invention.
Further, the purpose of the foregoing abstract is to enable the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office and the public generally, and especially the scientists, engineers and practitioners in the art who are not familiar with patent or legal terms or phraseology, to determine quickly from a cursory inspection the nature and essence of the technical disclosure of the application. The abstract is neither intended to define the invention of the application, which is measured by the claims, nor is it intended to be limiting as to the scope of the invention in any way.
It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a new and improved container closure which has all the advantages of the prior art container closure apparatus and none of the disadvantages.
It is another object of the present invention to provide a new and improved container closure which may be easily and efficiently manufactured and marketed.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide a new and improved container closure which is of a durable and reliable construction.
An even further object of the present invention is to provide a new and improved container closure which is susceptible of a low cost of manufacture with regard to both materials and labor, and which accordingly is then susceptible of low prices of sale to the consuming public, thereby making such container closures economically available to the buying public.
Still yet another object of the present invention is to provide a new and improved container closure which provides in the apparatuses and methods of the prior art some of the advantages thereof, while simultaneously overcoming some of the disadvantages normally associated therewith.
These together with other objects of the invention, along with the various features of novelty which characterize the invention, are pointed out with particularity in the claims annexed to and forming a part of this disclosure. For a better understanding of the invention, its operating advantages and the specific objects attained by its uses, reference should be had to the accompanying drawings and descriptive matter in which there is illustrated preferred embodiments of the invention.
The invention will be better understood and objects other than those set forth above will become apparent when consideration is given to the following detailed description thereof. Such description makes reference to the annexed drawings wherein:
FIG. 1 is an isometric illustration of the instant invention.
FIG. 1a is an orthographic cross-sectional view of section 1a as set forth in FIG. 1.
FIG. 2 is an orthographic top view of the closure member of the invention.
FIG. 3 is an orthographic bottom view of the closure member of the invention.
FIG. 4 is an orthographic view, taken along the lines 4--4 of FIG. 1 in the direction indicated by the arrows.
FIG. 5 is an isometric illustration of a modified closure member of the invention.
FIG. 6 is an isometric illustration of section 6 as set forth in FIG. 5.
FIG. 7 is an orthographic view of a modified closure cap of the invention.
FIG. 8 is an orthographic view, taken along the lines 8--8 of FIG. 7, partially in section, in the direction indicated by the arrows.
FIG. 9 is an orthographic top view of the modified closure cap.
With reference now to the drawings, and in particular to FIGS. 1 to 9 thereof, a new and improved container closure embodying the principles and concepts of the present invention and generally designated by the reference numeral 10 will be described.
More specifically, the container closure 10 of the instant invention essentially comprises a container 11 including a container spout 12 terminating in a spout upper end 12a. The spout 12 includes a torroidal seat 13 below the spout upper end 12a and above the container 11, as illustrated in FIG. 1a. A closure member 14 is mounted within the spout, with its lower portion extending into the container 11, as illustrated in FIG. 1. The closure member 14 includes a cylindrical head 16 defined by a predetermined diameter, including a planar bottom surface 17, with a top surface terminating in a beveled top wall peripheral surface 18 to enhance fluid flow about the peripheral edge of the cylindrical head 16 during a pouring procedure when the closure member 14 is displaced from a first position on the torroidal seat 13 to a second position spaced therefrom. The closure member includes a closure member first vane 19 orthogonally oriented relative to a second vane 20 that are orthogonally and integrally mounted to the planar bottom surface 17 coaxially oriented relative to the cylindrical head 16 and defined by a predetermined width less than a predetermined diameter defined by the spout 12. A plurality of first coplanar lobes 21 are coplanar with the first vane 19 extending diametrically beyond opposed sides of the first vane coplanar therewith, and defined by a lobe diameter greater than the predetermined diameter of the spout 12. Similarly, second lobes 22 are coplanar relative to one another and the second vane 20 extending diametrically beyond opposed sides of the second vane adjacent the lower terminal end portion of the second vane, as illustrated in the FIG. 1 for example.
The container closure 10 further includes a spout cap 15 formed with a cylindrical head 23 including a cap top wall 24 orthogonally oriented relative to an axis defined by the cylindrical cap head, with a positioning leg 25 extending orthogonally downwardly and coaxially oriented relative to the cylindrical cap head 23 defined by a predetermined length substantially equal to a predetermined length extending from the spout upper end 12a to the top surface of the cylindrical head 16 to secure the closure member 14 into engagement with a seat during periods of non-use. It should be noted that the closure member 14 and the spout cap 15 are coaxially aligned relative to one another along a closure member axis 14a (see FIG. 5) when secured to the associated spout 12, wherein the closure member axis 14 is accordingly coincident with a spout axis defined by the container spout 12.
The FIGS. 5-7 illustrate the use of a modified closure member 14a and associated modified spout cap 15a. The modified closure member 14a includes the construction, as set forth with reference to FIG. 1, but wherein the cylindrical head 16 includes a matrix defined by a plurality of through-extending bores 27 directed through the cylindrical head 16 extending through to the planar bottom surface 17 to permit fluid flow therethrough. A cylindrical head cap plate 28 is provided, including a plurality of plate plugs 29, wherein the predetermined number of through-extending bores 27 is equal to the predetermined number of plate plugs 29 to permit selective closure and cessation of fluid flow through the bores 27.
The modified spout cap 15a is formed to include a cap top wall central conical opening 30 directed through the cap top wall 24, wherein a conical plug 31 is received within the conical opening 30 to prevent fluid flow therethrough. The positioning leg 25 coaxially extends from the cap top wall 24 a predetermined distance in reference to the spout cap 15 to limit displacement of the closure member 14 from the seat 13. If desired, the positioning leg 25 may be shortened to permit displacement of the cylindrical head 16 relative to the seat 13 to enhance fluid flow in addition to the through-extending bores 27. The conical plug 31 is formed with a plug handle 32 to permit ease of manual manipulation of the plug relative to the conical opening 30, wherein a tether line 34 secures the plug to the cap top wall 24. Further, the central conical opening 30 is in communication with a surrounding conical wall 33 formed with a matrix of conical wall apertures 33a directed therethrough where fluid flow is permitted through the bores 27 and subsequently through the conical wall apertures 33a when the conical plug 31 is removed relative to the conical opening 30.
As to the manner of usage and operation of the instant invention, the same should be apparent from the above disclosure, and accordingly no further discussion relative to the manner of usage and operation of the instant invention shall be provided.
With respect to the above description then, it is to be realized that the optimum dimensional relationships for the parts of the invention, to include variations in size, materials, shape, form, function and manner of operation, assembly and use, are deemed readily apparent and obvious to one skilled in the art, and all equivalent relationships to those illustrated in the drawings and described in the specification are intended to be encompassed by the present invention.
Therefore, the foregoing is considered as illustrative only of the principles of the invention. Further, since numerous modifications and changes will readily occur to those skilled in the art, it is not desired to limit the invention to the exact construction and operation shown and described, and accordingly, all suitable modifications and equivalents may be resorted to, falling within the scope of the invention.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is encouraging hospitals, emergency departments and emergency care facilities to administer COVID-19 vaccines to unvaccinated patients at discharge. Many hospitalized patients and ED patients are at higher risk for COVID-19 or its complications, so getting a vaccine prior to discharge may help reduce subsequent infection, morbidity and mortality.
University of Rochester Medicine (UR Medicine) has been vaccinating age-eligible patients, using the single-dose Johnson & Johnson/Janssen COVID-19 vaccine, prior to discharge or release from an inpatient stay or ED visit. This process started at Strong Memorial Hospital, located in Rochester, New York, in March 2021. At that time, the focus was on patients who require some type of long-term care services or support and those age 65 and older. It also included patients being discharged from or to residential or inpatient behavioral health care. The hospital projected 70 eligible discharged patients to receive the vaccine per day and between 400 and 500 per week.
According to Michael Apostolakos, M.D., chief medical officer, University of Rochester Medical Center, attending and bedside nurses talk to patients about getting vaccinated within 48 hours of discharge. These nurses explain the risks and benefits of the vaccine and offer patients the COVID-19 shot.
In an interview with Rochester First media, Apostolakos said, “People admitted to the hospital, some are not that ambulatory or may have trouble getting back to the hospital, so the fact that we get them while they’re here before they go home and convalescent from their illness — we can get them vaccinated and have them be done and not have to return.”
Apostolakos also shared that many patients and families have been excited to receive the vaccine.
As COVID-19 continues to spread and new variants like delta increase the risks for infection, UR Medicine has begun earmarking vaccine doses for discharged patients at hospitals and care facilities across its network.
The delta variant’s presence also has caused UR Medicine, as well as other hospitals, health systems and public health officials across the country, to put the focus back on prevention and reevaluate restrictions. COVID-19 testing before medical procedures began August 23, 2021, for all patients at all UR Medicine facilities, regardless of vaccination status. In addition, masks are required of visitors at all UR Medicine health care facilities, regardless of vaccination status.

September 23rd, 2003, 3:25 PM
Hello minna. n.n() I'm sorry for that long period of absense. I was having computer problems, and had to format my whole hard drive. The only art I able to obtain was that from my website. ( http://www.haywired.com/ichigo )
Anyway, I did manage to finish something since then. I upgraded PSP, and it took me a while to figure everything out. X.o() *cough* anyway, I made a little wallpaper for myself. On the left is Usagi-Orenji and Orenji is on the right. She kind of has a new look if you didn't notice already. n.n() I guess I'll explain that on my site once I get around to it. () There also hasn't been a weekly comic since 'The Smashing of the Watmel Berry' since I was unable of scanning and CGing over the past two weeks. n.n()
Anyway... enjoy I guess. n.n() I might start up requests again once I get use to PSP8.
September 23rd, 2003, 4:38 PM

Sometime in October Paradise Valley Town Council will identify 18 candidates to potentially fill the vacant seat left on the dais by congressional hopeful Vernon Parker.
Mr. Parker tendered his recognition at the Aug. 29 Paradise Valley Town Council meeting.
Each member of council will choose three candidates sometime in October with an interview process leading up to a January appointment, according to the Sept. 13 work session discussion.
Mr. Parker, a former mayor of the town, was re-elected to Paradise Valley Town Council this past March to a four-year term; however, the person appointed to the vacant spot will serve until the next municipal election, which is August 2014, according to Jim Bacon, Paradise Valley town manager.
The person appointed will only serve two of Mr. Parker’s four-year term, state statute stipulates.
