Comedian Elijah Wood, star of the Lord of the Rings saga, recently spoke about his willingness to appear in a Star Wars movie or a Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) movie.
Elijah Wood: Eternally Frodo
Elijah Wood is most famous for playing Frodo in the trilogy The Lord of the Rings. Inseparable from the films of Peter Jackson, this certainly remains the greatest role of his career. Yet that’s not the only arrow in his cinematic bow. Elijah Wood began his career in 1989 with a tiny role in Back to the future 2. He then goes on to make small appearances in productions like The Adventures of Oliver Twist, The Faculty or Deep Impact.
It is obviously the saga The Lord of the Rings which will give him more fame. He then appears in more famous feature films such as Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Sin city or Hooligans. Unfortunately for him, the 2010s are more complicated. The actor has difficulty finding roles to his measure, and then appears in short films or in second-class television series. Lately, Elijah Wood was in the cast of I don’t feel at home in this world, The Last Witch Hunter or Dirk Gently. It will also soon be showing at No man of God and the remake of The Toxic Avenger.
Soon in a Marvel or a Star Wars?
In a recent interview with Entertainment Tonight, Elijah Wood said he would like to have the chance to “Play again in a large sandbox”. He made it clear his desire to appear in the MCU or in a future movie Star wars :
I think it’s just fun on its own. I haven’t had the chance to play in a giant sandbox for a while… I have a preference for Star Wars because I’m a big fan of this saga. But I would love to work on a Marvel movie. There’s obviously this whole conversation going on about Marvel’s cinematic relevance. Is it cinema? And whether you like superhero movies or not, they’re inherently fun. And these films are extremely well made.
Elijah Wood went on to say that commuting to work in such an environment is something he finds ” absolutely awesome “. The actor is thus eager to rediscover these sensations, more than a decade after the end of The Lord of the Rings. More, Elijah Wood already has a past with Star Wars. Indeed, he lent his voice to Rucklin in the animated series. Star Wars: Resistance.

Phil Mickelson created more magic at Augusta on Thursday as a back-nine charge left him just one shot off the lead and in the running for a fourth Masters title.
Already a winner on the PGA Tour earlier this year, the 48-year-old American continued to defy his advanced years with a stellar five-under-par 67 in the first round, leaving him just one shot behind co-leaders Bryson DeChambeau and Brooks Koepka.
If he were to go on and win the tournament, he’ll become the oldest player ever to win a major championship, surpassing Julius Boros, who won the 1968 PGA Championship aged five months younger.
After his round, Mickelson admitted that Augusta has a transformative effect on him, and it happens as soon as he arrives and drives down Magnolia Lane.
— Masters Tournament (@TheMasters) April 12, 2019
His round on Thursday featured seven birdies and two bogeys, but his two dropped shots could easily have been much worse.
He was particularly lucky to escape with just one dropped shot on the 11th, where he hit a poor drive into the right trees before hitting his second shot into the water.
“It looked like after bogeying 10 and 11 that would kill some momentum,” he said. “It was the other way around, because I made two great bogeys that should have and could have been doubles. After going in the water at 11 to hit that close and have an easy bogey and then to make a 6‑-footer for bogey on 10 after a terrible drive, those were almost momentum maintainers. That kept me in it.
“And then when I got to the holes that I could birdie I took advantage of it with some good shots.”
Mickelson rallied impressively afterwards with birdies on the par-5 13th and 15th, and then came closing to acing the par-3 16th before tapping in for another birdie.
He saved par on 17 after a poor drive into the trees and then closed with a birdie on 18 following a monster drive and a wedge into the green.
“It was a lot of fun,” he said. “It’s fun to finish off the round. It’s fun to make a good par save on 17 and birdie the last. It’s fun to finish a good round off rather than leak one here or there coming in. So it was a good day.
“I was just hoping to shoot in the 60s. I thought there were some 66s out there. The greens are softer than they’ve ever been [from rain this week], and they’re not as fast as they normally are. So [Thursday] was a day to take advantage of it. I’m sure they’ll get firmer and faster as the week goes on.”

SCREW CAP AND A SPORT CLOSURE CAP WITH INTEGRAL SEAL OPENING MEANS
An integral seal opening means within a sport closure cap for containers, in which a tamper evident seal with a reinforced rim secures the mouth opening. The closure cap holds a minimum of three protrusions, extending towards the seal, each having cutting edges of which the lower one is at a smaller radius. These protrusions engage with the tamper evident seal, when the cap is rotated clockwise, thereby cutting off part of of the seal rim and at the same time cutting three banana shape slots in the seal. For single serve beverage bottles with tamper evident seal and a sport closure, there is no need to unscrew the cap for opening the seal and getting access to the beverage. Initially the reinforced rim is used to prevent protrusions from accidently opening the bottle seal. The opened seal remains in place while the sport closure is held onto the bottle.
“Not Applicable”STATEMENT REGARDING FEDERALLY SPONSORED RESEARCH OR DEVELOPMENT
“Not Applicable”REFERENCE TO SEQUENCE LISTING, A TABLE, OR A COMPUTER PROGRAM LISTING COMPACT DISC APPENDIX
“Not Applicable”BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to an integral opening means, placed within or on top of a protective threaded plastic closure cap and threaded sport closure caps for various types of rigid and semi rigid containers (example bottles, jars, cans, packaging with a round or cylindrical opening and the like) to enable the user to open in an easy and convenient way a tamper evident seal, connecting to and covering an opening of the container.
Nowadays tamper evident seals are widely used in food and beverage industry, pharmaceutical, chemical industry, agricultural products, herbicides/pesticides, petro-chemical products, edible oils, lubricating oils, cosmetics and personal care products. This inner seal is usually enclosed by a protective closure cap, screwed or pressed onto the container neck. The seal assures product integrity and prevents any changes or leakage. It increases the shelf life of container products by keeping the contents free from oxidation and contamination. Tamper evident seals are considered to be safe and hygienic.
Usually tamper evident seal consists of a multi-layer sheet material, such as paper, a polymeric film, aluminum foil, or a laminate of paper, polymeric film and/or aluminum foil, securely leak and airtight attached to the rim of the mouth opening of the container. In order to get access to the product inside the container, the protective closure, such as a simple plastic screw cap, first needs to be unscrewed from the container neck, after which the tamper evident seal can be manually peeled off or punctured by a finger or sharp object. However, when tamper evident seal is used together with sport closures (example; push pull cap, flip/twist top closure, novel sport closures with or without valve systems, pour spout closures and the like), the sport closure first needs to be unscrewed from the container neck to manually remove and then separately dispose of the inner seal and then screwed back onto the container before the product can be consumed. The prior art patents described herein offer various ways of removing the tamper evident seal from the mouth opening of the container.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,634,013 to Bar-Kokhba, shows that the removal of the inner seal can be cumbersome and discloses a means to open this seal by a single cutting devise connected to the cap and also a means that allows rotation of the cap less than 360 degrees. The seal remains hanging in the opening of the bottle, unless manually removed. The cutting devise can be on top or within the cap, thereby cutting a “C” type opening in the inner seal, but with a rotation limit of less than 360 degrees. When within the cap, a tamper evident band is required that needs to be removed, before the cap can be further screwed down onto the bottleneck. The method thus described has two disadvantages namely: (1) a tamper evident band needs to be removed before cutting open the inner seal (2) the inner seal either hangs in the mouth opening of the container, or needs to be manually removed. In that case two plastic parts need to be separately disposed. For certain applications this solution may not be suitable where direct skin contact with the product in the container may not be advisable.
Other patent disclosures have been published to remove the inner seal, in a similar way such as described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,090,582 to Art et al. The means described is similar to the patent as described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,634,013 to Bar-Kokhba but with provisions of a ramp to disengage the cutting means from the foil, leaving a “C” type opening in the seal, in such away that the seal will not detach completely. This means is useful but manual removal of the seal as well as a tear away tap will be still required, having the same disadvantages as mentioned in the patent to Bar-Kokhba.
U.S. Pat. No. 5,797,506 to Lehmkuhl et al. discloses a means to open the seal by providing a little nub extending from the upper wall of a screwed-on closure cap. Unscrewing this cap and placing the cap upside down on the bottleneck can open the seal, allowing access to the liquid for consumption. Although there is no need for provisions to cut the seal open for less than 360 degrees, the seal remains hanging in the bottle opening unless manually removed.
U.S. Pat. No. 7,832,580 to Jackman, discloses a tamper evident container closure seal with an integral pull opener. The seal is opened by forcing a finger into the weaker area of the seal void configuration. The broken open center portion of the seal then forms a pull-tab that can be partially connected, which allows the pull-tab to be lifted back out and pulled from the container. This means of seal removal requires manual actions having similar issues mentioned above.
The afore described methods of tamper evident seal removal may be adequate for containers with a protective screw cap, but they pose hygienic and environmental issues, as the inner seal still needs to be removed by hand and disposed separately. Furthermore, those methods cannot be used for more aggressive products inside the container, such as certain type of chemical agents or medicine, where for safety reasons manual contact is not recommended.
U.S. Pat. No. 5,702,015 to Giles adds a pull-tab to the inner closure seal as a way of removal. In this case the seal can be removed without touching the contents of the container but still needs to be manually removed and disposed separately.
U.S. Pat. No. 3,581,605 to Taylor describes a device for removal and disposal of a membrane seal from a plastic bottle by using an annular cutting member and a piercing and extracting member within a separate cap that is placed onto the bottle neck, after the protective cap has been removed. This solution requires a separate cap attached to the closure cap and an extra piercing means.
U.S. Pat. No. 5,709,311 to Butler et al, describes a method and apparatus for removing and storing a container seal on the upper side of a closure seal. In order to remove the seal, the closure cap needs to be removed, turned over and rotated before the seal removing and storing device can be applied.
U.S. Pat. No. 7,942,284 and U.S. Pat. No. 6,386,385 to Amanat et al.; Apparatus for removing tamper-evident seals from containers; provides means to remove a tamper evident seal from a container mouth using a central perforating means that retains the cut out portion of the seal within the cap, preventing it from falling into the container. This centrally perforator means cannot be applied for sport closure caps, as described in the present invention later on. Additionally the cap needs to be turned over to apply the seal removal means.
Other inventions describe various means to remove the tamper evident seal either manually after removal of the closure cap or by retaining the seal by provisions on the outer top side of the closure cap or provide separate seal detaching means, but none address the problems of opening or removing the seal when applied to sport closure caps.
The present invention overcomes the disadvantages of the disclosed state of the art techniques by providing a plurality of protrusions with cutting means that can be easily incorporated in the design of the standard threaded closure cap and alternative sport closures, while additional provisions are foreseen that prevent the engagement of these cutting means prematurely with the seal. In the case of the alternative sport, closures used for single-serve beverage containers together with a tamper evident seal, the sport closure cap does not need to be unscrewed from the container to remove or open the tamper evident seal for getting access to the product inside.BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Problems with the removal of the tamper evident seal by hand and the disposal thereof can be overcome with the present invention, whereby a screw cap is provided with a plurality of protrusions with cutting edges, projecting from the inside top cover of the screw cap, equally spaced circumferentially and radially at an equal distance from the centerline but within the inner radius of the mouth opening of the container. These protrusions are pointed downwards, having at least one cutting edge, initially remaining just above the inner seal. The protrusions with one cutting edge are inclined inwardly with the cutting edge tip closer to the centerline of the mouth opening of the container or in another configuration, with straight perpendicular protrusions, having at least two cutting edges, of which the tip of the lower cutting edge is placed closer to the centerline of the closure cap. The minimum number of protrusions for the present invention is three. The lower cutting edge of the protrusion with the smaller diameter cuts into the inner seal for only a small distance, while moving downwards through the inner seal. When the closure cap is further screwed down onto the container neck the other cutting edges with a larger diameter take over.
Two options are available in designing the screw cap with protruding cutting edges, whereby access to the contents is obtained through the full opening of the container and whereby it is desirable that the inner seal is completely removed or in the case of a sport closure cap, the inner seal needs only to be partially cut open. The first option is for a simple screw cap, holding the protrusions within the closure cap. In this case the rotation angle of the closure cap is greater than 360 degrees divided by the number of protrusions and the inner seal is completely cut open by forming a disc. As this disc has a larger diameter than the cutting edge tip of the protrusions, it will remain within the plurality of protrusions of the closure cap and simultaneously removed with the cap from the container, whereby the container mouth is now fully opened for drinking or pouring out the contents from the container. This type of arrangement of cutting means within the closure cap can be very useful for chemicals stored in bottles, jars or containers or for medicines not to be touched with bare hands. As a second option, the plurality of inclined protrusions can also be provided on the outer top side of the closure cap, protected by a cylinder with the inside diameter slightly larger than the outside diameter of the mouth of the container, In that case the cap needs first to be removed, turned over, placed back with the protrusion side facing downwards towards the mouth opening of the container and rotated for a complete removal of the inner seal. It is desirable that each protrusion has at least four cutting edges, allowing the closure cap to be rotated in either direction.
In a second preferred embodiment the rim of the inner seal has been enlarged in diameter and reinforced, while in the closure cap extra cutting means are provided to cut off part of the seal rim, when opening and or removing the inner seal. This enlarged rim allows eliminating the tamper evident band of the first preferred embodiment.
A third embodiment and/or application of the present invention is for closures designed especially for on-the-go consumption held in single-serve bottles, closed off with a push pull cap or other novel sport closures. Hereby the sport closure with protrusions is designed in such way that the inner seal is opened only partially when the sport closure is rotated clockwise and moves further downwards onto the container neck. In this case the rotation angle should be less than 360 degrees divided by the number of protrusions in the closure, thereby cutting a multiple of banana shape slots into the inner seal on the inner circumference of the mouth opening of the container. The cross-sectional flow area of all slots together, however, shall be adequately large, to allow the contents of the container to pass easily when being consumed. There is no need for removing the sport closure from the container at all, in order to get access to the product and even can be designed in such away that the sport closure cap remains permanently attached to the bottle. As there is no need to remove the tamper evident seal manually it thus enhances the hygienic use of the product and eliminates the need for manual disposal of the inner seal.
In a fourth embodiment the sport closure cap has been slightly altered allowing the extended part of the enlarged inner seal to be bent over the rim of the bottleneck, thereby providing means for keeping the sport closure to remain on the bottle, after cutting open the inner seal
To assure that the cutting means, in the described embodiments above, don't cut open prematurely the inner tamper evident seal, a number of preventive means are disclosed which are part of the present invention. In order to accomplish this, the rim of the inner seal is enlarged and reinforced, providing an initial stop for the closure cap that prevents the engagement of the cutting protrusions with the seal. This enlarged portion of the inner seal rim breaks off or bends over the edge of the rim of the bottleneck, when the closure cap is further screwed down.OBJECTIVES OF THE PRESENT INVENTION
The first objective of the present invention is to open a tamper evident seal that closes off the mouth of a container with a threaded neck, thereby overcoming the disadvantages of prior art seal opening methods and to provide an efficient and convenient way for the consumer to remove the tamper evident seal, used together with a screw cap or sport closure cap. The improved seal opening means can be easily incorporated into existing designs of afore mentioned closure caps, while there is no need for manual removal and disposal of the inner seal.
A second objective of the present invention is to provide means to keep the screw cap or sport closure at an initial position, thus preventing the engagement of the cutting means incorporated within closure caps from cutting open the tamper evident seal prematurely.
A third objective of the invention is to open a sealed container hygienically, whereby there is no need to touch the inner seal with the fingers of one's hand and whereby the cut open part of the seal does not fall into the container.
A fourth objective of the invention is to provide the possibility of resealing the container after removal or opening of the inner seal.
A fifth objective of the invention is to provide a method of removing or opening the inner seal for sport closures (such as a push pull cap, flip/twist top closure, sport closures with or without valve system, pour/open spout closures and the like) as there are presently no cutting means foreseen in the design of these closure caps to remove the inner seal without having to remove the closure cap first to get access to the inner seal.
An sixth objective of the invention relates to sport closures for single-serve bottles by providing means to keep the sport closure attached to the bottleneck after the inner seal has been opened. In this way the inner seal, the sport closure and the bottle are disposed of together as a complete unit.
A seventh objective of the invention relates is to cut open and remove the seal completely from the mouth opening of the container with a simple screw cap, thereby having the full opening of the mouth available for pouring out the contents of the container.
An eighth objective of the present invention is to provide a means to eliminate the tamper evident band that needs to be separately disposed.
A ninth objective is to provide a tamper evident seal with a reinforced rim for keeping the closure cap at an initial position, prior to cutting the seal open and a weaker central part that can easily be cut open.
With reference to the drawings of
In the first embodiment and application of the current invention of
After removal of the tamper evident band 2 and screwing down the closure cap further onto the bottleneck 11, the protrusions 13 will now engage with the inner seal 5, by rotating the closure cap clockwise. The protrusions 13 of
While rotating the closure cap 1 clockwise, circumferential slots are being cut into the inner seal 5, at the inside of the bottleneck 11 initially at a diameter 17 and later at a diameter 18. If the rotation angle of the closure cap 1 is greater than 360 degrees divided by the number of protrusions, a disc type part 19 of the inner seal will be cut loose from the inner seal 5. As the diameter of this inner disc of the seal is larger than the diameter of cutting edges 15 with a tip 16, disc 19 will stick between the protrusions 13 and can be removed from the bottleneck together with the closure cap, thereby opening the bottle. In
A second embodiment and application of the present invention is shown in
A third embodiment and application of the present invention is shown in
Another option is a fourth embodiment to keep the closure cap with the bottle is also shown in
Alternative applications of the present invention to open a tamper evident seal, can be used for other sport closures such as the push pull cap, caps with a valve, rotational open/close caps and screw caps with suction spout holding a flip open dust cap. For all of these applications an inner seal will be required, when the contents in the bottle can rapidly deteriorate by exposing it to ambient air for a long time during storage. Example for the mentioned applications are shown in
In eliminating the tamper evident band of the afore mentioned preferred embodiments and applications, is could be useful to provide visual means on the outside of the closure cap that the cap was rotated clockwise and opened the inner seal. Two provisions can be made to show that the contents of the bottle has been accessed (a) A visual mark on the cap showing the open/close position relative to the bottleneck and (b) A dust cap with tamper evident closure means, as commonly used in the industry (not shown on the drawings).
1. A seal opening and removal means as integral part of a plastic threaded closure cap for rigid and semi rigid containers with a cylindrical mouth opening securely closed by a tamper evident seal, comprising:
- a) a multi-layer tamper evident seal having the lower surface leak proof and air tight attached to the rim of said mouth opening of a container; and
- b) a threaded closure cap with a disc shape top wail connected to a cylinder with a female threading inside, engaging with a male threading of the container neck of said container; and
- c) a tamper evident band which is detachably connected to the lower end of said cylinder, and held in place by a collar on said container neck that limits said closure cap from moving in axial direction until removed; and
- d) a plurality of protrusions, pointing downwards from said disc top wall of the closure cap towards said tamper evident seal, remaining initially at a small distance thereof, limited by said tamper evident band and wherein said protrusions are equally spaced circumferentially on a somewhat smaller circle than the cross-section circle of said mouth opening of the container.
2. Each of said protrusions of claim 1 has at least two cutting edges of which one is vertically oriented and one radially, ending in a sharp point at a smaller distance from the center line of the mouth opening of the container than the vertically oriented cutting edge.
3. The vertically oriented cutting edge of claim 2, can be positioned under an angle with the centerline of the container neck, having an intersection with the radially oriented cutting edge, at the lowest tip of the protrusions at a smaller radial diameter of said mouth opening.
4. Said tamper evident band of claim 1 is detachably connected to the lower end of said cylinder having a dual function; (a) to maximize the screwing down of said closure cap onto said container neck limited by said collar located on the lower end of the container neck, thereby positioning the lower cutting edges of the protrusions within said closure cap just above said tamper evident seal and; (b) to prove integrity of the said container, showing that tamper evident seal has not been tampered with, thus allowing said closure cap firstly to move downwards onto the container neck by turning said closure cap clockwise and subsequently to get access to the content of the container by rotating the cap counterclockwise.
5. While the protrusions of claim 1 and 2 are an integral part of said closure cap, the cutting edges of said protrusions will make a rotational and an axial movement, when the said closure cap is further screwed down onto the container neck upon removal of said tamper evident band, thereby cutting a disc shape part in said tamper evident seal, provided the said closure cap is rotated over an angle larger than 360 degrees divided by the number of protrusions, which disc shape part will stick between the protrusions, allowing to be removed with the said closure cap when the closure cap is subsequently removed from the container neck and thus will not end up in the container, without the need for an additional manual operation to remove this part from the container mouth.
6. The lower radially oriented cutting edges of claim 2 will be only shortly engaged in the cutting operation, when the said closure cap is rotated clockwise, while being screwed down onto the container neck and moves in axial direction underneath said tamper evident seal of claim 1, but at a smaller diameter than the remainder of the cutting operation by the vertically oriented cutting edges, which are at a larger diameter.
7. The cross-section of each protrusion of claim 2 has a triangular shape, having three corners whereby one corner is close to the inner circle of the container neck, while the two other corners are at a smaller diameter of which one is the vertically oriented cutting edge.
8. The triangular shape of claim 7 bends the overhanging part of said tamper evident seal, against the inner wall of the said mouth opening, when said closure cap is rotated clockwise and said tamper evident seal is being cut open.
9. A seal opening and removal means as integral part of a plastic threaded closure cap for rigid and semi rigid containers with a cylindrical mouth opening securely closed by a tamper-evident seal having a reinforced rim, comprising:
- e) a multi-layer tamper evident seal with an enlarged reinforced rim diameter having the lower surface leak proof and air tight attached to the rim of said mouth opening of a container; and
- f) a threaded closure cap with a disc shape top wall connected to a cylinder with a female threading inside, engaging with a male threading of the container neck of said container, provided with internal means for cutting off the outer rim of the inner seal; and
- g) a plurality of protrusions, pointing downwards from said disc top wall of the closure cap towards said tamper evident seal, remaining initially at a small distance thereof, limited by said outer rim of said inner seal and wherein said protrusions are equally spaced circumferentially on a somewhat smaller circle than the cross-section circle of said mouth opening of the container.
10. Reinforced inner seal overhanging rim of claim 9a, provided with a weaker circumferential slot right at the edge of said container mouth opening, allowing the outer overhanging part of the inner seal rim to be cut off by circumferentially located inner cutting means of the closure cap of claim 9b.
11. The protrusions of claim 1, 2 and 9c, having a plurality of cutting edges and preferably a triangular cross-section, but not limited thereto.
12. A (container) ‘closure system’ for a container with a cylindrical month opening secured by a tamper evident seal and an inner seal opening and/or removal device integrated in a sport closure cap holding a valve system, wherein cap said closure system comprises:
- h) a multi-layer tamper evident seal/inner seal with a reinforced overhanging rim of which the lower surface is securely leak and air tight attached to the rim of said cylindrical mouth opening; and
- i) a closure cap assembly consisting of a spout having a cylindrical part with a female screw thread inside, holding an integral valve and a valve retaining element; and
- j) said closure cap is being screwed over said tamper evident seal onto the container neck of which the valve retaining element has a central opening that is closed off by said valve; and
- k) said closure cap is provided with a plurality of protrusions with a minimum of one, preferably three, pointing downwards, initially remaining just above said tamper evident seal; and
- l) said protrusions are equally circumferentially spaced at a diameter somewhat smaller than the inside diameter of said mouth opening; and
- m) said protrusions have a number of cutting edges, preferably four, of which two are vertically oriented, one horizontally positioned and one cutting edge is positioned under an angle, of which the lower horizontal cutting edge is initially located just above said tamper evident seal; and
- n) said horizontal cutting edge and said cutting edge under an angle meet each other at a diameter which is smaller than said vertically oriented cutting edges; and
- o) said valve retaining element is interlocked with said spout in such a way that when tire closure cap rotates clock or counter clockwise, both parts move simultaneously; and
- p) said tamper evident seal has a diameter a few millimeters larger than the rim outside diameter of said container neck and is weakened circumferentially therein right at the outside rim diameter of container neck, in order to provide a cut off place or allow bending of the overhanging part of said inner seal; and
- q) said closure cap is screwed onto said container neck until stopped by the overhanging part of said tamper evident seal; and
- r) said cylinder of said closure cap can be provided at the lower side with provisions preventing the closure cap from being removed, after the cap is screwed further down onto the container neck, thereby breaking off the overhanging circumferential part of the rim of said tamper evident seal, which is then in the shape of a ring that remains within the hollow space of said closure cap; and
- s) said preventive provisions can be small hooks on the lower inside of the cylinder of said closure cap that interlocks with a ring, which is part of said container neck or can be of a ratcheting arrangement therewith in such a way that allows the cap to rotate clockwise only.
13. The inner seal opening or removal device as described in claim 12 as part of a sport closure cap with protrusions inside, will cut a circular disc into said tamper evident seal, when the cap is rotated over an angle larger than 120 degrees for one of the preferred embodiments, whereby the disc will stay within the boundaries of said three protrusions with foreseen means at the inside of the valve retaining element to assure that the fluid flow to the spout is not hampered by this disc.
14. An inner seal opening device as described in claim 12, for a container having a tamper evident seal within a sport closure cap, holding three cutting protrusions inside, will cut three banana shape openings into said tamper evident seal, when the closure cap is rotated over an angle of less than 120 degrees.

Raiders vs. Chargers: 4 Reasons Oakland Earned Huge Victory in San Diego
I admit, some of my recommendations were simply common sense. What’s most important is that Jackson learned from the mistakes made in the loss to the Denver Broncos and adjusted accordingly. Aside from some defensive lapses in the second half, this Raiders team may have played its best game of the season.
They Bush-Whacked the Defense
Hue Jackson used to be a well-regarded offensive coach before he took over the Raiders, and when an offensive guy is well-known, it’s usually because he’s creative and/or effective. And let’s face it, how creative can you be running the ball? What I’m saying is, good offensive coaches (such as Jackson) like to throw. They love to chuck it downfield—is it any wonder the late Al Davis made Jackson his head coach?
But the Raiders must be a run-first team if they want to be playing meaningful games in December, and they remembered that Thursday night. The Raiders’ three backs (Michael Bush, Taiwan Jones and Marcel Reese) combined for 38 carries, rushing for nearly 200 yards in the process. Big boy Bush was given a heavy workload (30 carries) and did not disappoint, going for 157 yards and a touchdown.
The most important thing Jackson did was run the ball on first down—and did he ever. Oakland ran a whopping 21 times on first down, setting up shorter second downs and putting the offense in better position to convert.
The constant runs also allowed Oakland to control the pace of the game, and it held a five-minute advantage in time of possession (32:37 to 27:23).
They Sent Rivers Rolling
I am convinced that defense in the NFL is about one thing: pressure. If you disrupt the quarterback, everybody else’s job gets a lot easier.
And for a team like the Raiders, the secondary and linebackers need all the help they can get. With multiple defensive backs injured, Rolando McClain hobbled and Aaron Curry resuming the inconsistent play that got him booted from Seattle, it was imperative for the defensive line to smack Rivers around.
Although Rivers threw for 274 yards, his completion percentage was a pathetic 48 percent and he was sacked six times. Rivers also added to his NFL-leading interception count by throwing No. 15 to Matt Giordano in the end zone. Norv Turner and his struggling quarterback have now lost three in a row to Oakland.
They Did Moore with Less
I love the vertical passing game as much as anyone, but it has a time and a place. In the loss to Denver, Jackson was calling passing plays far too much (40 attempts). We've already covered how Oakland smartly went run-first against San Diego, but the offense was also smart about how it used the pass.
Jackson called only 22 passes Thursday, and Carson Palmer showed why Hue was so in love with him in the first place: boy's still got some zip on the ball. Palmer was mobile in the pocket, avoiding pressure and making some fantastic throws to rookie sensation Denarius Moore.
The fingertip grab Moore had in the second quarter was sensational and destined for SportsCenter's Top 10, and the physical specimen has clearly become one of Palmer's favorite targets. Palmer has looked to Moore constantly in his first two starts, and Moore has racked up nine catches for 184 yards the last two weeks.
While the national media is just starting to notice this talented Tennessee product, dedicated Raiders fans will remember that Moore has been turning heads since his first practices with the Silver and Black.
The best thing about Moore is where he was drafted: Although he has the blazing speed Al Davis coveted, the Raiders didn't reach at all for Moore, swiping him in the fifth round.
Jackson wisely used Moore to stretch the field Thursday, but did so in moderation. I'm sure he wishes he could chuck the ball around at will like the Green Bay Packers, but using the long ball sparingly and focusing on the run will be Oakland's formula for success.
They Played 60 Minutes
Technically, every game the Raiders have played this year has been 60 minutes, but they’ve rarely shown up for the entire game. Usually, either the offense or defense decides to take a couple of quarters off, and it has cost Oakland deeply.
In the Denver game Sunday, the defense was nonexistent as Tim Tebow and Willis McGahee ran wild. Oakland’s offense didn’t show up at all for the Kansas City loss, when Carson Palmer and Kyle Boller combined for six picks and zero points.
But in a refreshing change, both units played complete games Thursday. The offense scored in each of the first three quarters, and probably would have scored in the fourth if Palmer hadn't throw an interception in the red zone (in fairness, he was blindsided as he threw).
The defense was absolutely lights-out in the first half, limiting the Bolts to just three first downs and forcing numerous three-and-outs. Things got a little scary to start the third quarter, when the Chargers came out after halftime and marched right down the field for a touchdown. It seemed like the Raiders defense would fall flat in the second half yet again. But the team adjusted, and kept the Chargers from scoring on four of their final five possessions.
Overall, it was a very solid performance by the defense, the kind we should be seeing every week. If it can put together more 60-minute performances like this one, the AFC West is Oakland’s division to lose.

Combining whimsical, unforgettable characters, an imaginative and offbeat story, and colorful artistry, Walt Disney Pictures' delightful new animated comedy LILO AND STITCH, tells a captivating tale of a young girl's close encounter with the galaxy's most wanted extraterrestrial.
Lilo is a lonely Hawaiian girl who adopts a small, ugly 'dog' whom she names 'Stitch'. Stitch would be the perfect pet if he weren't in reality a genetic experiment who has escaped from an alien planet and crash-landed on Earth.
Stitch, an alien, is the only creature of his kind in existence. He is the result of an illegal genetic experiment by the mad scientist Jumba who simply refers to him as 'Experiment 626'. Although Stitch appears to be harmless - small, furry, six legged - his very existence is an abomination to all that's decent in the galaxy. Jumba engineered Stitch as the ultimate fighting machine. He is abnormally strong, virtually indestructible, smarter than a supercomputer and very mischievous.
Through her love, faith and unwavering devotion to 'ohana' (the Hawaiian concept of family), Lilo helps unlock Stitch's heart and gives him the one thing he was never designed to have - the ability to care for someone else.
With its lush tropical setting, unique sense of humor and classic songs by Elvis Presley, LILO AND STITCH promises to capture imaginations everywhere.

Centel Corp. said Friday its shareholders approved the company`s controversial merger with Sprint Corp. by a thin margin, but opponents immediately asked for a recount of the vote, saying it was too close to call. A preliminary count of proxies from a vote taken during a Dec. 2 stockholders meeting indicated that 50.5 percent of outstanding shares voted in favor of the merger and 34.8 percent voted against it. Less than 1 percent voted to abstain.
To be approved, a majority of Centel`s outstanding shares needed to approve the merger.
According to Centel officials a total of 73.7 million shares, or more than 86 percent of the company`s total outstanding shares, were voted.

Rep. Sanford loses GOP primary, attacked for Trump criticism
COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — Over more than two decades, South Carolina voters forgave U.S. Rep. Mark Sanford for his quirkiness, his infidelity and his lies. But they could not forgive him for his criticism of President Donald Trump.
Sanford lost his first election ever Tuesday, beaten for the Republican nomination for another term in the coastal 1st District around Charleston by state Rep. Katie Arrington.
Less than three hours before the polls closed, Trump endorsed Arrington on his Twitter account with an especially personal shot at Sanford.
“Mark Sanford has been very unhelpful to me in my campaign to MAGA. He is MIA and nothing but trouble. He is better off in Argentina,” the president wrote, referring to Sanford’s trip to South America in 2009 to have an affair while his unknowing staff in the governor’s office told reporters he was hiking the Appalachian Trail.
Sanford survived that public confession to the affair to win two more terms to the U.S. House. But Arrington made an issue of his criticism of the president, calling him a “Never Trumper.”
One of her ads got personal too, saying “it’s time for Mark Sanford to take a hike — for real this time.”
After declaring victory Tuesday, Arrington asked Republicans to come together. And she reminded them who she thinks leads them: “We are the party of President Donald J. Trump.”
Sanford won three terms for U.S. House in the 1990s, then two four-year terms as governor before the affair marred the end of his second term. He returned in 2013 and won a special election to his old U.S. House seat, holding on twice more.
Throughout his political career, Sanford has played up his outsider credentials — both in the U.S. House, where he supported a box to check on federal tax returns to put $3 toward the national debt, and as governor, bringing a pair of squealing pigs to the state House and Senate chamber to protest what he call pork spending.
But Arrington, who works for a defense contractor, has exploited that trait, pointing out Sanford’s call for Trump to release his tax returns, his vote against Trump’s border wall proposal, and his calling proposed tariffs on alumni and steel “an experiment with stupidity.”
Sanford responded that he speaks his mind regardless of party and said he has shown over two decades he is a true conservative. In his remarks Tuesday night, he said: “I stand by every one of those decisions to disagree with the president.”
Then there was the Twitter post just after 4 p.m. Tuesday. After attacking Sanford, the president backed Arrington.
“I fully endorse Katie Arrington for Congress in SC, a state I love. She is tough on crime and will continue our fight to lower taxes. VOTE Katie!”
Sanford is a second U.S. House member from the South attacked by a challenger for criticizing Trump. In Alabama, U.S. Rep. Martha Roby is in a July 17 runoff against former congressman Bobby Bright. Roby said two years ago that Trump’s 2005 lewd comments about women, captured on an “Access Hollywood” microphone, made him “unacceptable as a candidate for president.”
Arrington will take on Joe Cunningham, a construction lawyer and yoga studio owner who won the Democratic nomination Tuesday.
The district, which includes Charleston and the southern coast, has not elected a Democrat since 1978.

Home Bound: An Uprooted Daughter’s Reflections on Belonging
Vanessa A. Bee
Astra House | October 11, 2022
If home is a concept rather than a place, Vanessa A. Bee’s memoir, Home Bound, sets out to demonstrate this by unraveling her experience of self-discovery. Bee writes of the memoir: “While reflecting on a childhood spanning across three continents, between social housing and public boarding school and nicer homes, from the secular to the evangelical and back, from small public schools to Harvard Law School, this book will offer a meditation on the concept of home and the factors that can complicate it.” We follow her as she emigrates from Cameroon to France, and then from the United Kingdom to the United States. This is the story of an ambitious and bright young woman doing her best to navigate a complicated transcontinental existence, a real-life bildungsroman.
We follow Vanessa’s life from infancy to the moment when she herself becomes a mother, offering an excellent example of the complexity of womanhood. Vanessa, a sensitive yet strong child, grows into an intelligent and self-aware woman. As a child, she is constantly negotiating her place in the world in light of the immigration. She muses, “I was presumed to be an extension of those sanitized depictions.” Innately sharp, she questions discrimination as a person of color: “Was there really such keen interest in black students with my profile? The implications made me uneasy. I had worked hard for my grades and was near the top of my class. I had not signed up to be anyone’s charity case.”
This is a particularly positive note of the memoir: how Bee writes scenes that depict the social micro-tragedies familiar to any immigrant child: name-butchering, and the clumsy childlike hesitance to correct the misunderstanding, thereby leading to a humiliating loss of identity. In a similar way, her analyses of the often-unrelenting nature of American narrow-mindedness is at the same time witty and searing: “Loserdom could be reversed, by makeover or a timely growth spurt, just as it sought be caught. One vicious breakout of cystic acne, a blowjob to a blabbermouth, or an exhibition of sadness past the social expiration date, and you might find yourself in exile.” This is unforgiving black-and-white thinking that takes place in American schools, and Vanessa A. Bee defines it as unpleasantness with notable exactitude.
Yet the memoir goes beyond being just a cutting social commentary on race, but rather integrates her beliefs into the vaster landscape of her experience coming from Cameroon. All throughout, readers will find a remarkable clarity of structure and mind with which she embarks on her attempt to peel back the layers of identity. For instance, she peels back the layers of her complicated relationship with her father in a completely candid manner: “I pictured him walking through the door of the empty little apartment, grime under his fingernails from a long day’s work. My poor daddy: eating alone, reading alone, and finally drifting to sleep—alone still.” Here we see her immense loneliness, grappling with her family’s place in the world through her deeply elusive father.
This upbringing then informs who Bee becomes as an adult: she is culturally eclectic, cosmopolitan, hyper-analytical, and deeply concerned with the socio-political issues of our world such as race, poverty, adoption, and religion, which shapes her thinking as a wife and then mother. Though unlike many books on girlhood and motherhood, there is no pedantic obsession with the body and its function; sexuality has a place among the many other aspects that put together the variegate composite of the contemporary woman but isn’t overbearing. In her marriage troubles, complicated by religious prejudice, healthy sexuality appears as a sine qua non rather than a forbidden fruit, with the story of her failed marriage representing a cautionary tale, warning against excessive naivety and zeal.
At certain points, occasional wavering on bouncing back and forth in time as opposed to chronologically, paired with the introduction of ultimately important characters, suggests a tendency towards a diffuse summary rather than an incursion into a message. However, the ending is truly where everything comes together, and—I daresay—refreshingly hopeful, careful not to be overtaken by the rancor that might mark the air of a heavy past, and looking forward towards a newborn’s sunrise, as she says herself at one point: “Home is a shell painted with the present.” Thoughtful yet decisive, this memoir transmits the authentic texture of a person making her way through a difficult world.

Bar started modelling when she was just eight months old and was recently featured in a poll of the world's most beautiful women. She's appeared in campaigns for Victoria's Secret and Ralph Lauren and was the first Israeli to make the cover of iconic Sports Illustrated magazine.

Wearing roller skates and hopping into a vintage car, the shoot had a s feel to it - confirmed by Bar's picture caption. With her blonde hair tousling down her back, the model looks undeniably gorgeous as she perches on the edge of her seat. The youngster recently revealed she is engaged to marry her Israeli businessman boyfriend Adi Ezra, Her representative confirmed the fabulous news in March, saying: "We are pleased to tell you that she is engaged. Happy valentines?? The pair were introduced to one another through mutual friends last year and it appears they're going from strength to strength.

The Pirates used a barrage of homers and another stellar outing from Jeff Locke to knock off the Brewers at Miller Park on Saturday afternoon.
Locke was tremendous yet again. The lefty has now allowed three hits or less in six of his last seven outings, which is ridiculous. I know, I know, some more are going to start falling in against him sooner or later, but it’s impossible not to be impressed with Jeff at this point. He’s also been doing much better in both the strikeout and walk departments lately. Today he got seven K’s and walked three. He wasn’t tremendously efficient, but got through six innings with exactly 100 pitches. It’s also worth noting that the Brewers used a mostly right-handed lineup – and of course, the game was at hitter friendly Miller Park. Fantastic work by Locke – again.
Meanwhile, the Bucco offense exploded for some long balls – a welcome sight because they hadn’t hit one since Snider’s grand slam on Tuesday. Andrew McCutchen – who entered the game with three homers in nine at bats against starter Mike Fiers – lined one out in the first inning. That was his third homer against Fiers in three consecutive at bats against him – a pretty remarkable feat (3 HR in 3 consecutive AB vs one pitcher) that has only been done four times in Pirates history (per ROOT Sports).
Pedro Alvarez extended the Bucs’ lead with a two run blast in the second, but that one was downright wimpy compared to the second bomb he hit in the ninth. He took Alfredo Figaro to the top of the second deck in right-center…certainly one of the longest we’ve seen Pedro hit, which is saying quite a lot. Here’s the video. Neil Walker hit the fourth Bucco homer – a solo shot in the fourth that was pretty darn long in its own right.
Justin Wilson and Tony Watson both allowed solo homers to Carlos Gomez, accounting for the two Brewers runs. Mark Melancon pitched a perfect 11 pitch eighth, because it was just a three run lead at the time before Pedro went deep in the ninth.
Solid win for the Bucs – great to see them get the long ball going (although they missed several other opportunities with men on base) and pitch well in Milwaukee. They’ve now won 2 of their last 3 there!

Gabrielle Douglas of the U.S. falls as she competes in the women's gymnastics balance beam final in the North Greenwich Arena (Photo : Reuters)
It is the final day for gymnastics event for the American women in the London 2012 Summer Olympics, and American Aly Raisman and Gabby Douglas are hoping to bring another gold medal back to the states.
The final gymnastics event is the balance beam, and it seems to have given Douglas some difficult.
Like Us on Facebook
Douglas fell off the balance beam, bringing in a massive shock reaction from the crowd. Douglas will end her London Olympic journey with a 13.633 on the beam. She finishes seventh out of eight. The last place went to Russia's Victoria Komova with 13.166, who also fell off the beam.
Douglas, nicknamed "The Flying Squirrel" has already won two gold medals in Women's Team and Individual All-Around during the London games.
"I put my all into it," she said. "Overall, it's been a good journey."
For Raisman, she also faced trouble with the final score as she tried to get her first individual Olympic medal.
After performing on the balance beam, Raisman was given a score of 14.933, losing the opportunity for a bronze medal to Romania's Catalina Ponor, who scored 15.066.
However, after Team USA issued a protest, Raisman's score saw an improvement to 15.066.
The problem is Raisman now ties with Ponor.
The tiebreaker was decided based on who received higher executive scores. According to NBC producer Alex Ainsworth, Ponor's execution score was an 8.466, and Raisman scored 8.766, giving Raisman the edge and the bronze medal.
China dominated gold and silver, with Deng Linlin scoring 15.600 and Sui Lu going second with 15.500.

Vijay Deverakonda, the renowned star of the film Liger, recently shared his amusing perspective on Sara Ali Khan’s expressed desire to date him.
Vijay’s Playful Reply to Sara’s Wishlist
During Sara’s recent appearance on the popular talk show Koffee with Karan, the charismatic host Karan Johar posed an interesting question, asking Sara to disclose the name of the person she would like to date. To the surprise of many, Sara promptly mentioned Vijay Deverakonda, the Liger sensation. Reacting to Sara’s statement, Vijay humorously responded to ETimes, stating, “Alright, but I must say, I am a superior actor. I even texted her to express my gratitude. It was incredibly kind of her to mention me.”
Vijay’s Stance on Dating
When Vijay was probed further about his interest in dating Sara, he candidly expressed his hesitation, saying, “I struggle with even pronouncing the word ‘relationship’ correctly. How can I possibly be part of one?”
Sara’s Prior Mention of Vijay
Last month, during her appearance on Koffee With Karan alongside Janhvi Kapoor, Sara Ali Khan, after some contemplation, revealed Vijay Deverakonda as the individual she would like to go on a date with.


The fondest farewell to Dearest Abby
January 17, 2013
Her real name was Pauline, “Popo” to her friends, but millions of readers across the country knew her simply as Abby. Dear, dear Abby.
Pauline “Popo” Phillips, whose pen name was Abigail Van Buren, passed away yesterday at age 94 of Alzheimer’s disease, according to her longtime syndicator, Universal Uclick.
Phillips began writing the Dear Abby advice column in the 1950s after helping her identical twin sister, Esther “Eppie” Lederer, to pen the popular Ann Landers column.
Lederer had taken over the Landers column after entering a competition. Phillips enjoyed the work so much that she similarly applied to take over an advice column written by Molly Mayfield for The San Francisco Chronicle.
The dueling advice columns prompted a rift between the sisters that lasted for years, though they had patched things up by the time Lederer passed away in 2002.
In her columns, Phillips addressed everything from infidelity to AIDS to sexuality to alcoholism. Though she didn’t always get it right, she was quick to turn things over to her readers when they second-guessed her, and always willing to admit mistakes. It’s estimated that she was read by 110 million people per week at her peak.
In 1987 Jeanne Phillips, Pauline’s daughter, began co-writing the column with her, and took it over in 2002, when Pauline was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s.
She is survived by her husband of 73 years, Mort Phillips.

The Visitor's Center had a second story balcony so that you did not have to try to take pictures through a chain link fence. And you can see over the lock to see the dam. The picture below was taken on Aug. 8, 2015. Note that only one gate was open. The attendant in the visitor center did not know how far the gate was open. Judging from the angle of the gate, it is not open very far. Note that these Tainter gates are counterbalanced. The only time I have seen that before was the control gates for the Marseilles North Mill Headrace.

USACE posted five photos with the comment:
Have you ever wondered how the water is kept out of the lock chamber in a dewatered lock? It takes a lot more than just closing the gates on the upper and lower ends! Bulkheads are put in place when the chamber is full. They are stacked on top of each other and secured by divers. Once that is complete at both ends of the chamber, then the chamber can be pumped down. The photos below depict that process at Starved Rock Lock and Dam during the current Illinois Waterway Consolidated Lock Closures. #ILWW2020Closures
Jay Davis Not only do they install bulkheads above and below the lock chamber, you also set bulkheads above and below each filling and emptying valve for the lock chamber.
Jon James Bet yal see some big fish in those chambers when dewatered, how do yal get the fish out? Lol
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Rock Island District The crew gathers as many as they can and relocates them back to the river just downstream of the bulkheads.
Jon James U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Rock Island District i gotcha, I've been on the boats for 11 yrs and heard at times ya advertise when yal are closing a lock and sometimes have had locals come down to gather what they want to take home??

Bill Strealy Do the bulkheads support the gates?
|Dennis DeBruler commented on Bill Strealy's comment ("Do the bulkheads support the gates?") on Ben's post|
No. They create a temporary gate so that the movable gate can be worked on in a (relatively) dry lock. Here is a photo from the Peoria Lock work that illustrates this.
Bill Strealy Dennis DeBruler OK Dennis, thanks for the reply and that sure makes a lot of sense. I have never been around a lock.
Dennis DeBruler In fact, I just discovered that the work for Starved Rock is to replace both the upper and lower miter gates. That is probably why they have a ringer crane at this lock. I presume that the lower gates are rather heavy.
|Paul Carpenter posted|
Visitors at the Starved Rock Lock and Dam Visitors Center between Ottawa and Utica watched as the Mary Lucy Lane passed through the lock near Rock Island District’s Army Corps of Engineers crane Hercules. A smaller crane is nearby. Work on the lock is scheduled for summer. Pleasant weather Sunday, Feb. 23, brought out many visitors here and at other outdoor sites.
[We cans see some replacement gates to the right of Hercules.]
A photo dump of the photos I took on Aug 8, 2015 when I caught a tow going downbound through the lock. I used the new version of Google blog writing software since they had fixed their performance problem for photo insertion. This insertion was 63 photos.
The next day, on my way back home, I stopped by the lock during business hours and got photos inside the visitor center. This photo insertion test was with 13 photos. All three of these tests passed. The bug of inserting photos at the end of the post instead of at the cursor did not appear.

It had appeared as though Unai Emery was reluctant to name one captain at Arsenal.
The former Sevilla boss has previously stated that he likes to have a group of three to five players, all of whom can lead the team on the field at any point during the match.
That still remains the case, but he has now given the main responsibility to one man in particular. On Friday, during his pre-match conference ahead of the Manchester United game on Monday, he confirmed that Switzerland international Granit Xhaka will be given the captain’s armband first moving forward.
The former Borussia Monchengladbach midfielder is one of the more senior players in the squad, having made 140 appearances for the north London outfit, and he has therefore been seen as a good choice to lead the dressing room.
Well, not for the Arsenal fans, perhaps. They have been reacting to the news on Twitter, and it is fair to say they are far from happy.
You can see some of the best comments from the social media platform below.
I’m really concerned that we have confirmed Xhaka as captain, the rest of the playing body is now going to look up to a error prone leader who brings nothing special to the first team, Xhakis going to be Unai Emery’s undoing
— Gerard Adjah (@kofiadjah) September 27, 2019
Xhaka as captain, after all those mistakes and countless errors. That’s a sackable offence to give him the captain armband, like it’s a joke. Emery just made it clear even more now that he will won’t be dropped regardless of how shit he is.
— Iᴍʀäɴ ?? (@Imrann_AFC) September 27, 2019
I think he made a rod for own back choosing Xhaka
— Arsenal since 1972 only follow Arsenal fans (@omarelkilary) September 27, 2019
Xhaka as captain is a woeful decision
— CE???? (Depressed Arsenal Fan) (@ce_on1) September 27, 2019
Never on this planet should Xhaka be captain!! @UnaiEmery_ is a bottler!! Passed the buck MASSIVE time!! Xhaka should never start a game. Some say Luiz as captain! No! Even bigger liability!! Either @RobHolding95 or better still Lucas Torreira who’s a fighter and a starter!
— SackEmeryToday!! (@rfstokes44) September 27, 2019
Xhaka, on one side, is akways a calamity keep on giving away penalties cheaply game after game.
Auba on the other hands continuously saving Arsenal with vit and decisive goals, and very popular with the squad and fans.

Arsenal is finished!!!Xhaka is our captain ohh my….Wrong decision again from Emery.

Origin of asbestosMiddle English asbestus from Classical Latin asbestos from Gr, inextinguishable from a-, not + sbestos from sbennynai, to extinguish: first applied in Classical Greek and Classical Latin to unslaked lime or a mineral other than asbestos
- Any of six incombustible chemical-resistant silicate minerals, including one serpentine (chrysotile) and five amphiboles (amosite, crocidolite, and fibrous forms of actinolite, anthophyllite, and tremolite), that separate easily into long, thin, flexible fibers and that have been widely used commercially in products such as fireproofing, electrical insulation, building materials, brake linings, and chemical filters. Mining and use of asbestos has been restricted because inhalation of asbestos fibers can cause asbestosis and cancer.
- Fabric or material containing any of these mineral forms.
Origin of asbestosMiddle English asbestus a kind of mineral which could not be extinguished when it caught fire, perhaps also asbestos (whose fibers may have been made into wicks that would never be consumed when used in ever-burning oil lamps) from Medieval Latin from Latin asbestos a kind of mineral (exact meaning uncertain) from Greek quicklime from asbestos (tintanos) unquenchable (lime) from asbestos unquenchable ( quicklime being so called because it reacts vigorously with water to release heat that can ignite combustible substances ) a- not ; see a- 1. sbennunai sbes- to quench
- as·bes′tine as·bes′tic
- Of, or relating to asbestos.
Old French abeste, from Ancient Greek ἄσβεστος (asbestos, “unquenchable, inextinguishable”), from ἀ- (a-, “not”) + σβέννυμι (sbennumi, “I quench, quell”).
- These reactions are practised in the following manner: A thread of asbestos is moistened and then dipped in the substance to be tested; it is then placed in the luminous point of the Bunsen flame, and a small porcelain basin containing cold water placed immediately over the asbestos.
- Copper, gold, iron, petroleum, asbestos, soda, silver and lead, gypsum, stone and clay products.
- Asbestos was formerly mined in the western and south-western parts of the state.
- Cylinders, tanks and independent boilers should be encased in a non-conducting material such as silicate cotton, thick felt or asbestos composition.
- With another form of gas stove coke is used in place of the perforated asbestos; the fire is started with the gas, which, when the coke is well alight, may be dispensed with, and the fire kept up with coke in the usual way.

By our good friends, one of the developer’s Toronto lawyer.
An alert from AWARE Simcoe, Midhurst: ‘Special Rule’ makes the sprawl okay pdf:
The importance of the “Special Rule” that then Infrastructure Minister Bob Chiarelli brought in to make the Midhurst Secondary Plan legal was spelled out by a lawyer at an Ontario Municipal Board pre-hearing.
Ira Kagan, representing the Midhurst Rose Alliance, told board panellist Marc Denhez that among the special regulations introduced by Chiarelli on January 19, 2012 as part of a Simcoe County addition to the Places to Grow Act, was the “300-hectare rule,” as he called it.
“It said that within the Midhurst settlement area, 300 hectares could proceed to development without worrying about any population forecasts within the growth plan,” Kagan explained.
The special rule allowed the province to withdraw a portion of its appeal of the 756-acre project, Kagan said.
Special thanks to Mr. Ira Kagan, Kagan Shastri LLP from 188 Avenue Road for explaining this to our community.
I am told this Special Rule is informally called the “Geranium Rule”.
More News: It appears the City of Barrie is unwilling to subsidize the sprawl’s infrastructure costs to the citizens of their municipality.
So…Springwater Township taxpayers will be picking up that tab for Barrie’s expanded roads, intersection, services, etc. to serve the new “Town of Midhurst”.
Less skeptical, better-case scenario: the township gets to go deeper into debt with this development.

After trying to get pregnant for nearly 3 years, in January 2015, I both accepted the fact that it would most likely not happen and got that big fat positive all in the same week. My husband and I relished in the moment and thanked God for such a blessing. And then it happened…..and once I became aware of it, there was no pulling me out. I despised being pregnant, and it got worse with each week that passed.
I remember feeling such guilt about it, thinking what is wrong with me?? I prayed for this! For nearly 3 years this is all that I wanted. It preoccupied my every thought. I would see other pregnant women and be envious beyond belief. I wanted so badly to hold life inside of me. And there I was, finally able to do so, and I was hating every moment and just counting the days until it would be over.
Not long ago someone asked me if we would want to try for a third child, and I instantly felt sick to my stomach. Forget about the fact that I’m struggling enough with two at the moment, and the thought of keeping three tiny humans alive actually scares the crap out of me. That wasn’t it. I was nauseated at the thought because it took me back to those 9 months (8 in my case, because both my babies came out earlier than anticipated) where all I wanted was for it to be over. It also got me thinking, and made me realize that I brushed those feelings under the rug once my children were born and never really faced that demon. So why did I hate it so much? A few reasons surfaced.
I am an anxious person by nature, so imagine what happened when we threw a bunch of f*cked up hormones in the mix. I was constantly worrying about the baby. Every pain, every twinge, every kick I felt, or didn’t feel would throw me into a state of sheer panic. I would overthink and over analyze everything, to the point where I ended up in the hospital on several occasions. I suppose its always better to be safe than sorry, when it comes to growing a human being inside of you. But my paranoia was unhealthy, and it was sadly preventing me from enjoying this new experience.
The Weight Gain
Ohh the weight gain. I gained a ridiculous amount of weight while carrying my daughter. What’s funny is I can remember sitting in the waiting room for my first ultrasound at 12 weeks, and telling my husband I was worried. All these women around me looked so much more pregnant than I did. I should have embraced those first 12 weeks, because I was never prepared for what soon followed. I was huge, to say the least. I started off my pregnancy at 110lbs and delivered at nearly 180lbs. You would think I ate like a slob and stayed in bed all day, to have put on so much. NOPE! I truly did not over do it. In fact I was perpetually nauseous during my entire pregnancy and most things turned me off completely. I also worked up until the week before I delivered. I was active during the day – mostly on my feet. I couldn’t wrap my head around it, and it began to consume me. Every doctors appointment would send me into a downward spiral. I didn’t want to know how much weight I had gained that month, but it was inevitable. I longed for my body back (and still do) and felt like I was losing myself to this pregnancy. Around the 5 month mark people would comment “oh wow, any day now, right?”. Not once, or twice, but quite often. Strangers – even family members felt the need to remind me I was larger than life. It infuriated me. Would they have been comfortable commenting on my weight had I not been pregnant – probably not. So what gives a person the right to vocalize their thoughts and opinions on a womans body, just because she is pregnant? Nothing. Nothing gives anyone that right. It was disgusting.
I would be walking into work, or doing groceries, and random people would stop and touch my stomach. Random, f*cking people – women, more specifically. All sorts of women. I was horrified the first time it happened, but put it behind me and quickly moved on. Until it happened again, and again. It’s one thing that my mother or best friend would want to feel my belly, but these incidences with strangers had made me feel so disgusting that I could no longer even allow the ones closest to me to give a little belly rub every so often. Even now as I write this and reminisce, I want to jump out of my skin at the very thought of someone touching me during those 8 months.
The guilt that I feel is because as difficult as I found those 3 trimesters, I also remember what it felt like during those 3 long years of trying to conceive. So when someone would ask me how if I was enjoying those moments, I would lie most of the time, because who am I to complain about something so “beautiful” when some women never get to experience it.
With that being said, the fact of the matter is, you are allowed to hate being pregnant. You are allowed to tell someone not to touch you and you are allowed to feel like shit about your body. And the only way to empower each other as women is to speak up about the downside of pregnancy some experience. The realities we face as women during those 9 months are different for everyone, but at the end of the day, its ok to feel this way – and whats even more important is to know you are not alone in it. Some women glow and embrace every day and others just can’t wait for it to be over. Regardless of which category you fall into, lets support and have respect for one another, by understanding what may seem undoubtedly beautiful to most, is not always the case for some.
