This invention relates to a continuous, automatic process of manufacturing glass fiber-reinforced cement non-plate articles such as pipes and troughs (which will be referred to as GRC articles) composed of an inside mortar layer comprising a mixture of normal Portland cement and glass fiber chopped strand, an outside mortar layer comprising a mixture of normal Portland cement and glass fiber chopped strand, and a regulated set cement mortar layer interposed between said both layers through a continuous glass fiber layer, an apparatus therefor, and the GRC articles thereby produced.
Conventional formed articles such as cement pipes and troughs have generally been manufactured by using a molding flask with reinforcing bars arranged therewithin, in accordance with a centrifugal method for the pipes and a batch method such as a manual operation for the troughs.
However, conventional articles are defective in that, depending on the conditions such as the bonding strength between the cement and reinforcing bars, the compounding ratio of sand and the like, the thickness of the articles must be increased in order to have the necessary strength, with the unfavorable results that the articles are of increased weight, the cost of their transportation becomes high, installation takes much time, and so forth.
Further, the conventional articles are defective because a long period of time is required for curing them, the forming cycle is prolonged, and productivity is decreased, whereby it becomes extremely difficult to provide articles cheaply, and additionally the obtained articles come to lack uniformity in quality.
It is an object of this invention to provide GRC articles which are capable of eliminating the aforesaid drawbacks involved in conventional GRC articles and which can be manufactured in a short time and inexpensively.
It is another object of this invention to provide GRC articles wherein two outside mortar layers comprise a mixture of normal Portland cement and glass fiber chopped strand, and a regulated set cement mortar layer is interposed between said two outside layers through a continuous glass fiber layer, wherein the strength of the produced articles can be enhanced by the presence of the continuous glass fiber layer, and the time required for curing the normal Portland cement mortar contained in both outside layers can be shortened by the action of the regulated set cement mortar.
It is a further object of this invention to provide a continuous, automatic process of manufacturing GRC articles from intermediate products namely, GRC plates, which comprises successively laminating, on a travelling belt conveyer, a mortar layer consisting of a mixture of normal Portland cement mortar and glass fiber chopped strand, a continuous glass fiber layer, a regulated set cement mortar, a continuous glass fiber layer and a mortar layer consisting of a mixture of normal Portland cement mortar and glass fiber chopped strand in that order to thereby form a GRC plate then; introducing both side portions of the resulting GRC plate between an outer molding flask and an inner molding flask disposed on each side corresponding to said two side portions respectively and bending it to form the desired solid GRC article; and curing the thus formed article by allowing it to pass through a curing zone. If the intended article is a pipe, this object can be achieved the employing, as the outer molding flask, a pipe member and by employing, as the inner molding flask, a tubular member disposed within the outer molding flask at a distance substantially equal to the thickness of the article. If the intended article is a trough, this object can be achieved by employing, as inner and outer molding flasks, two pairs of plates provided at regular intervals on the belt along its travelling direction, each pair being orientated longitudinally leaving a space substantially identical with the thickness of the article therebetween.
It is a still further object of this invention to provide an apparatus for manufacturing GRC articles wherein an inner molding flask is allowed to reciprocate along the travelling direction of a belt, whereby the inside surface of the article can be pressed smoothly.
It is another important object of this invention to provide an apparatus capable of manufacturing GRC articles having a variety of dimensions and/or shapes by mounting inner and outer molding flasks on a belt so that their location may be adjustable vertically or horizontally at a right angle relative to the belt.

These articles are generally prepared by obtaining an intermediate product through a primary processing stage and then forming it into a desired shape through a secondary processing stage. In this connection, an intermediate plate product A' for use in the formation of pipe A is shown in FIG. 5 and an intermediate product B' for use in the formation of troughs B, C and D is shown in FIG. 6.
The intermediate product A' is exactly identical in structure with the intermediate product B' with the exception that in the former the continuous glass fiber layers IV and V protrude on one side.
Plates which are exactly identical in structure with this intermediate product B', the process for manufacturing such plates and the apparatus therefor are disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Ser. No. 129019/1979 filed previously by these applicants.
In view of the foregoing, it is to be noted that the detailed explanation in this respect will be omitted and an outline thereof shall be given hereinafter.
FIGS. 7 to 10 each illustrate an embodiment of the apparatus for manufacturing pipe A.
In FIG. 7, reference numeral 1 denotes a conveyor, and both end turning portions of an endless belt 2 made of a heat resistant material such as steel are supported by two pairs of front and rear drive rollers 3, respectively, and allowed to travel at a fixed rate in the direction of the arrow by means of an appropriate driving means. Reference numeral 4 denotes an air blower disposed above the front end of the conveyor 1 for cleaning the belt 2 by blowing air thereon, and reference numeral 5 denotes a means for spraying a parting sheet onto the belt 2. Under the rear end there are provided a scraper 6 for removing the adhesives from the belt 2, a water injection nozzle 7 for injecting a washing water and an air blower 8 for blowing dry air.
Reference numeral 9 denotes a supply means for normal Portland cement mortar and glass fiber chopped strand, 10 denotes a supply means for continuous glass fiber, 11 denotes a supply means for regulated set cement mortar, 12 denotes a supply means for continuous glass fiber, 13 denotes a supply means for normal Portland cement mortar and glass fiber chopped strand, 14 denotes a mixer, 15 and 16 denote supply pipes, 17 denotes a curing room, 18 denotes a cutter, and 19 denotes article supporting rollers.
The foregoing parts are disclosed previously in Japanese Patent Application Ser. No. 129019/1979, but the principal parts thereof shall be outlined hereinafter.
The supply means 9 comprises mounting a spray nozzle for a normal Portland cement mortar mixed by means of the mixer 14 and a means for spraying glass fiber rovings cut by means of a cutter together with said mortar onto the belt 2 on a truck reciprocating across the whole width of the belt 2. The mortar layer 1 formed on the belt 2 by the spraying action of the supply means 9 is provided with a roller rotating at a right angle relative to the belt 2, a roller orientated longitudinally and reciprocating horizontally, and a vibrator for press-adhering as well as deairing purposes.
The supply means 10 is designed to spread a long, narrow strip piece of continuous glass fiber such as a netted fabric or the like on the mortar layer I and press-adhere it to the layer I by means of a roller rotating at a right angle relative to the belt and a roller orientated longitudinally and moving horizontally' or a vibrator.
The supply means 11 is designed to supply, through a fixed quantity supply means, a regulated set cement mortar alone or a mixture of said cement mortar and normal Portland cement mortar onto the continuous glass fiber IV supplied by the supply means 10, and regulating the same so as to have a fixed thickness by means of a roller, vibrator, sheathing board or the like.
The supply means 12, which is exactly identical in structure with the supply means 10, is designed to supply the continuous glass fiber V onto the layer III comprising the regulated set cement mortar supplied by the supply means 11 and then spreading the regulated set cement mortar herein.
The supply means 13, which is exactly identical in structure with the supply means 9, is designed to form the mortar layer II by spraying the glass fiber chopped strand together with the normal Portland cement mortar on the continuous glass fiber V supplied by the supply means 12 and subject the same to press-adhering and deairing treatments by means of a roller or the like, wherein, however, there is a case wherein the glass fiber chopped strand only is sprayed thereon. In this instance, the continuous glass fiber layers IV and V are arranged to be longer than the mortar layers I, II and III and, as shown in FIG. 5, are each allowed to have a portion extending outwardly from one end of the mortar layer.
Through the aforesaid steps, there is formed the intermediate product A' as illustrated in FIG. 5 on the belt 2 at a position after passing the means 13.
The thus formed intermediate product A' is then carried on the belt 2 to a pipe forming apparatus 21 as illustrated in FIG. 7 and is there formed into a pipe A". The particulars of this pipe forming apparatus 21 will be explained with reference to FIGS. 8 to 10 hereinafter.
This pipe forming apparatus 21 includes a lifting frame 24 which is designed to ascend and descent along the four corners of vertical guide rails 23 disposed at the four corners of a frame 22 provided across the belt 2, a movable frame 25 reciprocating along guide rails 26 provided at the both sides within this frame 24 along its travelling direction, and a supporting frame 27 mounted detachably on the lower part of this movable frame 25. A circular mandrel 28 is fixed to the lower end of this supporting frame 27 for the purpose of finishing the inside of the pipe.
A vertical hole is located in the vicinity of each of the four corners of the lifting frame 24. The lower part of a screw bar 29 screwed into a screw tube fitted vertically in said hole is secured rotatably but non-liftably to the lower part of the frame 22, and a worm wheel 30 is secured to the lower end of each screw bar 29.
Reference numeral 31 denotes a pair of right and left horizontal rotating shafts provided on both inner sides of the frame 22. The lifting frame 24 is designed to ascend and descend by screw engaging a worm 32, fixed to this shaft 31, with a worm wheel 30 and rotating these shafts 31 simultaneously by means of a suitable driving mechanism to thereby rotate each screw bar 29 by means the worm 32 and worm wheel 30. In this connection, however, it is also possible to raise and lower the lifting frame 24 by using a means other than above illustrated means, for instance, such as a pressure oil cylinder or the like.
Reference numeral 33 denotes an air cylinder equipped within the lifting frame 24. This piston bar is connected with the movable frame 25 for reciprocating the mandrel 28 back and forth, thereby finishing the inside of the product.
The curing room 17 is maintained at a temperature of about 80° C. by using steam or the like. Reference numeral 34 denotes a guide pipe which is arranged to pass through the curing room 17 outside of the mandrel 28 and protrude from the front of the curing zone. This guide pipe is fixed detachably to the curing room 17 and is so designed that its front end portion 35 is enlarged outside of the mandrel 28 as shown in FIG. 9 so as to guide the belt 2 upwards from below and then the belt and the intermediate product A' therein are simultaneously rolled up within a tubular space formed between the mandrel 28 and the guide pipe 34, thereby shaping the intermediate product into a cylindrical form.
The intermediate product A' conveyed on the belt 2 to the pipe forming apparatus 21 is guided inside the guide pipe 34 together with the belt 2 to be shaped into a tubular form. Then, this tubular body is formed into a pipe A" illustrated in FIG. 12 by the cooperation of the mandrel 28 with the guide pipe 34 by allowing the inside of the guide pipe to surround the outer periphery of the mandrel 28 and reciprocating the mandrel 28 back and forth to the front and rear by means of the cylinder 33.
In order that the intermediate product A' may be introduced smoothly into the guide plate 34, it is preferable that the front end portion 35 should be made to have on both sides different roll up positions as shown in FIG. 11 so that the protruding end of each of the continuous glass fibers IV and V may first be wound round the mandrel 28 and then the other side may be wound round it.
The thus formed pipe A" is cured during its passage through the curing room 17 and comes out of the curing room 17 with sufficient strength.
The rear end portion 36 of the guide pipe 34 takes an enlarged plan form as illustrated in FIG. 9 and the belt 2 per se is restored to its original shape by virtue of its own elasticity. Accordingly, deposits on the surface of the belt 2 are removed therefrom by the scraper 4 while said belt runs along the outside of the roller 3 and then downwards, the belt is cleaned with water injected through the water injection nozzle 7, and the remaining water is blown off by the air blower 8.
The pipe A" sent out from the belt 2 is cut by means of the rotary cutter 18. This cutter is designed to repeat the following movement comprising cutting the pipe A" while moving concurrently with the pipe A" carried on the roller 19, cutting the pipe off and then returning to its original position. In this connection, it is preferable that the mandrel 28 should be made hollow to accommodate therein a heating means utilizing steam or the like so that the pipe A" wound round the mandrel 28 may be fully cured by heating it from the inside and outside. When there is a need for varying the dimensions, configuration and so forth of the product A, this may be achieved by removing the supporting frame 27 from the movable frame 25 for replacing the mandrel 28 and guide pipe 34 by new ones of the desired dimension and shape respectively and further moving the mandrel 28 to a proper position by turning the screw bar 29. In addition, when a space is left between upper sides of the guide pipe 34 and both sides of the belt 2 are rolled upwards, it is possible to pour a GRC mortar namely, a mixture of glass fiber strands and cement mortar, into this space and finish this portion by means of a roller.
In FIGS. 13 to 19 there are illustrated embodiments of the apparatuses for manufacturing troughs B, C and D.
With reference to these manufacturing apparatuses the, same symbols are used for parts similar to those employed in the aforesaid pipe A manufacturing apparatuses in order to omit explanations thereof, and on the other hand different parts will be detailed.
In FIG. 13, reference numeral 41 denotes a parting sheet such as vinyl sheet, glass sheet, nylon sheet, paper or the like, which is designed to be put on the belt 2 and travel concurrently therewith, and 42 denotes a trough forming apparatus disposed between the supply means 13 and the curing room 17. The particulars of said trough forming apparatus are as shown in FIGS. 14 to 19.
FIGS. 14 to 17 illustrate a first embodiment of the trough forming apparatus 42, wherein the upper ends of fixing arms 46 for a pair of right and left outer molding panels 45 are slidably mounted on a plurality of horizontally situated guide bars 44 provided in a frame 43 disposed across the belt 2. And, the frame 43 is also provided rotatably with a horizontally situated screw bar 47. This screw bar is provided with a bisymmetrical screw. The trapped hole formed on the upper end of a fixing arm 46' of the molding panel 45 is screwed onto this bisymmetrical screw, whereby the right and left molding panels 45 are permitted to draw near to or part from each other by turning this screw bar 47 by means of a motor or handle (not shown).
Reference numeral 48 denotes a pair of right and left longitudinally situated horizontal guide rails fixed to the frame 43. A movable frame 49 is designed to reciprocate along the rails 48. This movable frame 49 is provided with a plurality of horizontally situated horizontal guide bars 50. The upper ends of fixing arms 52 for a pair of right and left inner molding panels 51 are slidably mounted on said guide bars 50. The movable frame 49 is also provided rotatably with a horizontally situated screw bar 53. This screw bar is provided with a bisymmetrical screw. This bisymmetrical screw is screwed in trapped holes formed on the upper ends of fixing arm 52, 52' for the molding panels 51, whereby the right and left inner molding panels 51 are permitted to draw near to or part from each other by rotation of this screw bar 53 clockwise or counterclockwise by means of a motor 54 through chain transmission or the like.
The outer molding panels 45, as FIG. 16 shows, comprise a pair of plates erected on the belt 2 leaving a space narrower than the width of the belt 2 therebetween, said space being set to be equivalent to that between both outside surfaces of the product. The front end portions of the plates, as FIG. 14 shows, comprise a horizontal portions 39 located on the belt 2 and slanted portions 40, the former being substantially identical in width with the belt 2, the latter being slanted gradually inwardly in the forward direction.
The inner molding panels 51 are disposed inside the outer molding panels 45 leaving a space equal to the thickness of the product therebetween and the insides thereof are provided with a vibrators 56 respectively.
Between the frame 43 and the movable frame 49 there is disposed an air cylinder 54 which functions to reciprocate this movable frame 49 to the front and rear.
In FIG. 17 there is shown a mechanism for forming a flange portion of the flanged trough C as illustrated in FIG. 3, in which the molding panel 51 is devised to be fixed to a supporting strip 57 by abutting the molding panel 51 to the outside of the supporting strip 57 located at the lower end of each arm 52, 52' and screwing a fixing bolt 58, inserted in a longitudinal slit of this molding panel 51, into a hole in the supporting strip 57. The molding panel 51 has an inward flange formed at its upper end, and an adjusting bolt 59 is screwed in a slit in the inward flange with its lower end abutting on the upper surface of the supporting strip 57. The height and location of the molding panel 51 may be adjusted in the manner of loosening the bolt 58, operating the bolt 59 so that the molding panel 51 may be positioned, and then tightening the bolt 58 for fixing the molding panel 51.
In this connection, it is to be noted that the structure referred to hereinbefore is common to a flange-free trough forming apparatus 42, whereas the following structure is unique to the flange forming apparatus. A flange is arranged to be formed by fixing a supporting bar 62 in a vertically adjustable manner to a supporting strip 61 provided inside the arm 46, providing a flange forming plate 63 at the lower end of the supporting bar and bending the upper end sides of trough C' outwardly by the cooperation of this plate 63 with an outward flange 64 formed on the upper end of the molding panel 45.
According to the above structure, the intermediate product B' transferred to the trough forming apparatus 42 by the belt 2 is stripped off from the belt 2 together with the parting sheet 41 by the horizontal portions 39 situated at the front end of the outer molding panels. Both outside surfaces of the intermediate product are erected gradually along the slanted portions 40, the inside surfaces abut the inner molding panels 51, and the inner molding panels 51 are allowed to reciprocate to the front and rear by the cylinder 55, whereby the trough B" as illustrated in FIG. 16 can be formed by the action of both pairs of molding panels 45, 51.

A man has been told he faces an inevitable prison term after he admitted a string of child sex offences.
Matthew John Dabbs, 40 - who had a collection of more than 12,500 child abuse images - admitted five charges at Teesside Crown Court.
Three of the crimes involved touching an underage girl.
He admitted two offences of causing or inciting the teenage girl to engage in sexual activity and one of sexual activity with a child.
And he pleaded guilty to two offences of making indecent photographs of children.
These were a total of 12,599 pictures, including 1,026 in the most severe legal category, found on a computer tower and an iPhone.
He committed the offences between April last year and April this year.
Dabbs, previously of Coulby Newham and now living in Stockton, appeared via video link to Holme House Prison to enter his guilty pleas.
Andrew Turton, defending, asked for a pre-sentence report to be prepared, saying there were health issues like heart and anxiety problems.
Judge Howard Crowson remanded Dabbs in custody until sentencing via video link on June 30.
He told the defendant: “Now that you’ve pleaded guilty, it’ll help the sentencing judge to have a report about you from the Probation Service.
“This type of offence means that a prison sentence is inevitable but the length of that sentence will be determined on June 30.”
Dabbs will be registered as a sex offender as a result of his conviction.

North Bergen amateur boxer Jean Pierre Valencia won his fifth fight in a row on Friday night, winning a decision over a fellow champion.
By John Heinis/Hudson County View
The West New York resident and reigning N.J. Diamond Gloves champion defeated Abedallah Elaiwah by decision at the Wayne Police Athletic League, bringing his overall boxing record to 11-1.
The win was the fifth in a row for the native of Esmeraldas, Ecuador since arriving in the country in June, after spending several years in Barcelona, Spain.
“I feel like I cemented myself as a champion by defeating another champion. I’m grateful to my fans who made the trip to support me, and I believe I can become even better as I improve my skills,” said Valencia, who is trained by Ryan Songalia at Little Mac Boxing in North Bergen.
Valencia, who trained through his 23rd birthday last Tuesday, had a breakout year in 2022, winning back to back fights in Trenton and Philadelphia, before winning the 165-pound novice Diamond Gloves championship last month in North Bergen.
The win over Elaiwah, a reigning N.J. Golden Gloves champion, elevates Valencia among the top amateurs in the state.
Valencia started quickly in Friday’s bout, using body punches to get the advantage on the southpaw boxer. Valencia wobbled Elaiwah near the end of the first with a left hook-right hand combination, but Elaiwah used his craft and experience to eke out the second round.
The fight was on the table in the third round, and Valencia stepped up to take it. Valencia pushed the tempo for the final three minutes, forcing Elaiwah to the ropes with his punching power and non-stop pressure.
Songalia outlined an ambitious plan for Valencia in 2023, which includes targeting other champions in his division, challenging for the N.J. Golden Gloves title in the spring and pursuing titles at national tournaments, before exploring options to turn pro.
“Valencia proved once again on Friday that he has the heart of a champion. I’ve been around all of the top world champions in my career, and Valencia has the kind of work ethic and ambition that can put him on their level,” stated Songalia, a veteran boxing reporter and trainer.
The boxing event was a fundraiser for the Legacy Youth Empowerment Organization, a non-profit organization which provides boxing training to young people, and raises money to send children to summer camp and buy them boxing equipment.

- No deposit. 100% of the vehicle can usually be financed under a chattel mortgage.
- Early repayment. The mortgage can be paid in full before the term ends.
- Fixed interest.
- Term. The term can be one to five years.

Consumer Loan (secured)A Consumer Loan is designed for individuals who want to use their car mainly for private purposes, and for whom private ownership is important. It offers loans with or without balloon payments. By utilising a balloon value you can reduce your payments considerably and improve your cash flow.
You can structure the monthly installments to suit individual budgetary requirements. By opting to place a deposit, or by nominating a final lump sum payment at the end of the finance term, you can conveniently decrease your monthly repayments, giving you greater security when managing your budget and planning your financial commitments.
Ownership is transferred to you as soon as the first payment is made, in exchange for security over the vehicle. This is discharged upon payment of the final installment.

Finance LeaseA finance lease is used by companies and business professionals to allow them to use business goods (such as a vehicle). At the end of the lease, you may purchase the car, re-finance it or return it to the finance company who would sell it at market value (You would need to make up the shortfall if the net sale was less than the agreed residual value).
The main benefits with a finance lease are as follows:
- No initial cash outlay.
- Match cash flow. A finance lease allows the lessee to select a lease term and repayments to suit their cash flow. Lease rentals and residual values can be negotiated within an appropriate range to allow more flexibility in budgeting.
- Frees up assets. The vehicle itself is normally the only security required.
A Finance Lease does not require a deposit, and so gives you immediate use of the vehicle. Payments are fixed for the term of the lease, allowing fixed budgeting for your financial planning. For added flexibility you have the option to refinance the vehicle or make an offer to purchase the vehicle for the residual value at the end of the lease.
To discuss your options (including finance leases) please go to our Pre Approved Finance section and fill in your details.
Operating Lease / RentalAn Operating Lease is essentially a rental agreement where the costs are fixed and there is no residual exposure at the end of the contract. This means that provided return requirements are met, you can simply hand the vehicle back at the end of the term.
- No initial cash outlay.
- Less risk. The risk and responsibility of disposing the vehicle is removed from your business.
- Tax deductible. The operating lease will produce tax benefits if the vehicle is used to produce assessable income.
Delivering what you promise is the foundation of good business. I am sure that's why you sell so many cars for people like myself. Keep up the good work!
Just to let you know that we took delivery of the new Mazda SP23 last night with the customer service from the dealer first class. I would like to take this oportunity in thanking you for your help, professional advice and most important getting me a great deal on the Mazda SP23 that I would never have achieved.
It is a sorely needed service as we have had nothing but stress and grief with the dealers we have approached ourselves.
I received my new car last week which was the fisrt time I set foot on a car lot during this and it was one of the most painless experiences! I have and will continue recommending your services to all my friend and colleges. Thanks for the prompt, professional service and the huge savings.
I know what you mean when you say 'buyer's remorse'. I've had it each time I bought a new car except this time. It's a great feeling to a) get a great price b) avoid the huge stress. Seeing things from 'the other side' has made me a convert: This is the way to buy a car! Thanks for a great business.
Fast replies, great service and most importantly, extraordinary prices. Anyone buying a new car not using this service is not fair dinkum about getting the best price and probably paying too much. The service saved me thousands. Will definitely be using it again when next buying a new car and have been telling all my friends about it. Keep up the good work.
Thank you again. I could not have asked for better service. Having been faced with unhelpful dealers it was just so easy to place a Internet request on Thursday and to be in a new car Monday afternoon, it was more than I could have asked for. I would definitely recommend the services that you provide, without hesitation.
Don't know how you achieve your prices but it certainly makes a difference, avoids the hassle of dealing with salesmen and has been excellent value for money. Will definitely recommend your services to family and friends.
This is the very first time that I have ever bought anything via the internet, or ever done any business over this means, and so I want to specially thank you for honouring my trust. Yet you also did much more than that, you got me a far bigger saving, (over twice that which I imagined possible), with a good and reputable dealer, delivered at our nominated timing, and you displayed great patience with myself through the process. This is my wife's very first new car and she is absolutely delighted with it. So much so, that she has not even allowed me to have a drive of it yet. And so I guess we have all been winners, haven't we? And what could be better than that?
Just a brief note to say thanks for your outstanding service. You managed to find a dealer who was prepared to reduce the purchase by some $6750 inclusive of all costs and then you went further by haggling for a better trade in for me giving me a change over cost of exactly $13500 less... THAT I CALL SERVICE...I shall certainly be singing your praises.

The ratio between S&P 500 Equal Weight Index (SPXEW) and the S&P 500 Index (SPX) is giving a small warning sign that, at the least, we’ll see some sideways consolidation over the next few weeks. As you can see from the chart below, a dip below the 20 week moving average generally results in consolidation. It often precedes pull backs of 5% to 15%. The reason it occurs is that “smaller” big cap stocks are being sold as money is being moved into mega cap stocks. It takes more money to push a mega cap stock higher than it does to push a “smaller” large cap stock higher. It also takes less selling to drive the smaller stocks lower. Thus, mere rotation from large to mega caps creates a drag on SPX. At this point we don’t know if the rotation is just portfolio managers rebalancing or the start of a flight to safety so stay alert. Over the past week, my core market health indicators mostly strengthened, but a few
The S&P 500 Index (SPX) finally broke out of its recent range and moved above 2300. That move didn’t bring a strong response from my core market health indicators. Instead, they bounced around this week. They’re all still positive, but some of them are showing weakness that could turn them negative without a continued rally. An example of an indicator that is barely holding on is the ratio between the SPX equal weight index (SPXEW) and SPX. When this indicator is below its 20 week moving average it tells us that money is moving into mega cap stocks (which is often a flight to safety). Healthy markets have broad based buying of the stocks in the S&P 500 Index. Right now, we’re seeing a slight increase, but not the strong move higher generally associated with big rallies. Conclusion All the indicators are still positive, but could quickly move lower if the market doesn’t continue to rally. This is a time to keep a close eye on the market.
Since the US election in November, the market has had broad participation as evidenced by a strong relationship between the S&P 500 Equal Weight Index (SPXEW) and the S&P 500 Index (SPX). During the month of December, however, SPXEW didn’t keep up with SPX. The ratio between the two fell sharply as both small and large cap stocks stalled, while at the same time mega cap stocks gained support. Now, the ratio is turning back up in an apparent resumption of the widespread buying. We can dig a little deeper into what stocks are getting the most attention by looking at the most bullish stocks on Twitter over the last two months, one month, and one week. Since the US election the most bullish stocks are across several industries. During December, the list gravitated toward more technology and health care. Over the past week, the list is once again widening in the number of industries listed. This is a condition we want to see going forward as evidence of widespread
Over the past week, my core market health indicators collapsed. They are all moving quickly toward zero. Most notably, is my core measures of risk. They are very close to going negative. In addition to my core measures, breadth measures are starting to warn as well. The bullish percent index (BPSPX), which tracks the percent of stocks in the S&P 500 Index (SPX) that have bullish point and figure charts, has fallen below 60%. When this occurs the odds of a 10% decline (from current levels) increases substantially. Especially if my market risk indicator signals. Currently, two of four components of that indicator are warning. However, the other two are a long way away from a signal. I suspect it would take a quick fall through 2100 on SPX to create a warning. Another breadth indicator that is warning is the percent of stocks in SPX that are below their 200 day moving average. It is also below 60%. I’m sure you’ve all noticed that small cap stocks have broken
Last week, I highlighted the ratio between the S&P 500 Equal Weight Index (SPXEW) and the S&P 500 Index (SPX). In that post I mentioned that a move below its 20 week moving average usually means a choppy market as money moves out of large cap stocks and into mega caps. This week, the ratio recovered. That suggests that SPX will make another attempt at a new high. Keep an eye on this indicator because a move back below the line should signal a failure and suggest we’re headed back to a choppy market at the least. My core market health indicators bounced around a bit, but my measures of market strength and quality fell further. This isn’t a good sign during a small consolidation. I prefer to see them strengthen. Conclusion Weakness in my core indicators, but strength in the ratio between SPXEW and SPX. It feels like the market wants to make another attempt at new highs, but doesn’t have the technical underpinnings to succeed.
Over the past few weeks the market has shown some rotation out of big cap stocks and into mega cap stocks. When this occurs it generally causes choppy sideways consolidation, at the least, or a short term top with a modest consolidation (5% to 15%). I like to use a dip below the 20 week moving average in the ratio between the S&P 500 Equal Weight Index (SPXEW) and the S&P 500 index (SPX) as a warning sign. This week, we’ve got that warning so we should expect a choppy market ahead. Only time will tell if this is normal rotation or a flight to safety so keep an eye on this indicator over the next few weeks. My core market health indicators showed weakness this week too, with the exception of market quality. It managed to improve which is a minor hint that the rotation we’re seeing is more likely profit taking and re-positioning rather than a flight to quality/safety. Conclusion It looks like we should expect some choppy
It’s been a while since I highlighted some breadth indicators so here we go. First is the NYSE Advance / Decline line (NYAD). All I can say is Wow! NYAD is telling us that small cap stocks were the place to be coming out of the February low. Comparing the S&P 500 Equal Weight Index (SPXEW) against the S&P 500 (SPX) shows us how big cap stocks have performed against mega cap stocks. The move out of the February low showed widespread buying of big cap stocks, while mega caps lagged. This was a rotation out of the safety trade. Then we got a bit of consolidation in SPX as investors took some profit in big caps and re-allocated it to mega caps. Now it looks like the market is getting ready to run again, fueled by big caps. The percent of SPX stocks above their 200 day moving average (SPX200) shows the same picture as SPXEW. Widespread buying of big caps, followed by some consolidation, then renewed widespread buying.
Over the past week the majority of my core market health indicators improved. Most notably is the market strength category. It has finally pushed above zero, resulting in a change to the core portfolios. The new allocations are as follows. Long / Cash portfolio: 80% long and 20% cash Long / Short portfolio: 90% long high beta stocks and 10% short Volatility Hedged portfolio: 100% long (since 7/1/2016) In early July, I highlighted some problems with leadership in the market. Most of those problems have been resolved. As you know, I’ve been watching the ratio between the Nasdaq 100 (NDX) and the S&P 500 (SPX). It made a good break higher two weeks ago and is currently fueling the rally as NDX plays catch up to SPX. One thing that hasn’t fully resolved itself is the ratio between the S&P 500 Equal Weight index (SPXEW) and SPX. The current rally has this ratio moving sideways, which shows lackluster participation from the “smaller” big cap stocks in SPX. If the ratio
Over the past couple of months, I’ve highlighted some encouraging signs that had accompanied price strength in the market. Unfortunately, most of those signs of strength haven’t persisted as the market is moving close to all time highs. First lets look at the Bullish Percent Index (BPSPX). It finally got above the 2015 highs in March and April of this year, but the subsequent consolidation in the market did serious damage to this indicator. It is still below 60% which is a big drag on the market (and adds the risk of a big decline). Basically, a lot of point and figure charts turned bearish during the last consolidation and haven’t righted themselves. Next is small caps stocks compared to big caps. They have lagged during the last rally. I like to see them lead as a sign of investors taking risk in their portfolios. Money flowed into mega cap stocks faster than big cap stocks during the last rally too. Another poor sign for a sustained rally. It looks
One thing I like to see during market rallies is strong leadership from three areas of the market at the same time; big cap stocks, small cap stocks (RUT), and the Nasdaq 100 (NDX). For big cap leadership, I like to see broad participation from a majority of stocks in the S&P 500 index (SPX). One way to measure large cap breadth is from indicators like the Bullish Percent Index or percent of stocks above their 200 day moving average. A few weeks ago, I highlighted their recent strength. Another way to measures large cap breadth is by comparing mega cap stocks to large cap stocks. I do this by comparing the S&P 500 Equal Weight index (SPXEW) against SPX. Long time readers know that I use a dip below the 20 week moving average in the SPXEW v. SPX ratio as a warning sign that some chop is ahead (and possibly danger). When this occurs it signals that money is rotating out of big cap stocks and into mega

Hi, new Viper owner here. I bought a 2004 Viper SRT two weeks ago and have put 150 miles on it, including the drive home. I took it for a drive yesterday and put in the garage last night. When I tried to start it today, it sounded like it was running out of fuel so I shut it off and then tried to re start it. It’s cranking but will not fire off. “Cheap scanner” showed no faults. Thoughts? Battery is on a tender at the moment.

Moclips, WA – Grays Harbor Fire District 8 issued a report following a fire this week that burned at a mill in Moclips.
The fire, off Otis Avenue near the former Moclips-Aloha High School, was originally reported as involving several vehicles with flames threatening structures.
When crews from FD#8 arrived, they said that they found “several old, derelict vehicles on fire” although crews said that they found no structures in immediate danger.
Additional assistance from Fire Districts #7 and #16, as well as the Quinault Fire Department and the Department of Natural Resources were called in as the fire threatened wildlands nearby.
According to the report, approximately 1.5 acres were burned although no significant damage occurred.
The cause of the fire is unknown.


An infusion pump uses sensors and a computer program to detect tubing in a tube-loading section of the pump. The pump and the computer program also measures one or more of the tubing outer diameter, outer circumference, inner diameter, inner circumference, and tubing wall thickness. The infusion pump utilizes proximity sensors, such as an ultrasonic sensor, a capacitive sensor, or even an air-in-line sensor to detect proximity between two infusion pump surfaces, such as the surfaces that clamp the tubing in the pump, to determine thickness. At least one of the clamping surfaces is equipped with sensors to indicate contact length of the tubing with the surface. Using these measurements, the tubing wall thickness and inner diameter can be determined. Knowing the actual tubing inner diameter, increased volumetric accuracy is possible, up to a three or four percent improvement over present measurements.

"We forcefully condemn those who seek to promote anti-Semitism", the president told the participants of the call.
In the call, which did not include a question and answer session, Trump apparently expressed his admiration for the Jewish community's contributions to American society.
But several Jewish community leaders protested the annual phone-in over Trump's response to a neo-Nazi rally last month in Charlottesville, Virginia, in which he was perceived to be equating their violent behavior with that of the minority groups in their crosshairs. The Jewish State is a symbol of resilience in the face of oppression - it has persevered in the face of hostility, championed democracy in the face of violence, and succeeded in the face of very, very tall odds. He called a recent report on Israel by the United Nations "unfair and biased, " and "a disgusting thing that they did" and said it should instead focus on Iran, Hezbollah and the Islamic State.
Barbuda a desolate island after Hurricane Irma
All told, the damage could cost more than $100 million , according to Gaston Browne, the prime minister of Antigua and Barbuda . He connected with and became good friends with Bishop Charlesworth Browne, pastor of the country's Christian Ministries Centre.
The United States will always support Israel not only because of the vital security partnership between our two nations, but because of the shared values between our two peoples.
He noted that survivors of the Holocaust were invited on the call, and underscored the importance of telling their history.
This next New Year also offers a new opportunity to seek peace between the Israelis and Palestinians, and I am very hopeful that we will see significant progress before the end of the year.
India, Japan agree to further intensify strategic ties, sign 15 agreements
There are three areas where there is a convergence of interest between India and Japan so as to counter China is - South China Sea, Indian Ocean, and South East Asia.
That is why my administration has successfully pressured the United Nations to withdraw the unfair and biased report against Israel - that was a awful thing that they did - and to instead focus on real threats to our security, such as Iran, Hezbollah, and ISIS.
The Jewish community, which is politically and religiously diverse, has a complicated relationship with Trump. During Trump's first state visit overseas, he made a point to become the first sitting president to visit the Western Wall, one of Judaism's holiest sites in Jerusalem. A recent survey found that 77 percent of Jews have an unfavorable opinion of the president, with the rate of disapproval even higher among Reform Jews, the largest denomination in America.
"He condemned anti-Semitism in the strongest terms and basically said that America is a stronger country because of its vibrant Jewish community", Hier, who delivered a blessing at Trump's inauguration, told HuffPost. The call included non-rabbis as well. He dialed in Friday.
Copart, Inc. (CPRT) Shares Bought by Nicholas Company Inc
After $0.37 actual EPS reported by Copart, Inc. for the previous quarter, Wall Street now forecasts -16.22% negative EPS growth. Nicholas Company Inc. owned approximately 0.91% of Copart worth $66,416,000 at the end of the most recent quarter.
In August, Reform, Reconstructionist, and Conservative Jewish organizations jointly criticized the president for his comments on Charlottesville. There are important issues we face - political, religious issues; issues of ethical and moral concern. Anyone that knows the President understands that he takes great pride in having a Jewish daughter and Jewish grandchildren. Trump spoke to far fewer rabbis; Obama's calls reached hundreds of participants.

Although the Queen had a warm personal relationship with the late South African president — he was one of the few people to get away with calling her Elizabeth — her desire to cut down on her long-haul travel means that Charles will represent her at the service in Qunu in the Eastern Cape.

Clearing Error Code 223 on Your Lennox® Furnace
Getting cold because you’re getting error code 223 from your Lennox® furnace?
This is telling you your furnace’s low pressure switch is open. Due to the failure, your system will not function for safety reasons.
Trust the Experts at Stevenson Service Experts to deal with fixing this furnace error. Our ACE-certified technicians are among the best in the industry when it comes to recognizing and repairing furnace problems.
Your satisfaction is critical to us. That’s why we back our furnace repair* for a year.
How a Low Pressure Switch Works
Pressure switches are an essential part of the heating operation.
Here’s how your furnace starts after the thermostat begins to call for heat:
- Your furnace’s control board begins the draft inducer blower motor. This gets rid of combustion gases from the heat exchanger and sucks in new gas and air so the burners can start.
- When the pressure switch senses that a suitable amount of air is being pulled into the burners, it closes and tells the control board to ignite the furnace.
- Your furnace ignites and heats your space.
A two-stage furnace has more than one pressure switches, which help it to run at multiple speeds—and use energy more efficiently.
What Happens When a Low Pressure Switch Malfunctions
The low pressure switch may be open for a couple reasons.
There could be a:
- Closed off vent
- Clogged condensate drain
- Cracked hose
There could also be an issue with the switch itself, the inducer or the circuit board.
Your furnace will show you there’s an issue with a red flash from its indicator light, which it uses to exhibit error codes. It has this red light to flash code, like Morse code.
You might notice fast flashes or an alternating slow flash as it replays a fault code.
Estimated Repair Cost for Furnace Error Code 223
The expense to fix your furnace depends on the root problem48} and how long it takes to repair it.
Here are the usual replacement costs for several components that could be affected:
- Pressure switch—$40 to $350
- Inducer—$600 to $1,500
- Circuit board—$200 to $600

Philippa perry: the evidence is in: bullying from (usually) an older sibling can cause depression later in life but how parents deal with it is vital. Question: i am a 36 year old male i am the youngest in a family of 9 children, the next sibling is seven years my senior. 18 things you'd only know if you were the younger sibling yes you felt nice having an older sibling around, especially if he/she was much 'cooler' than you.
Welcoming a new baby to the family is an exciting time and one of great change, especially if there is an older sibling in the home learn more about how to prepare older children for their new baby sibling. Under a long-held stereotype, first-born children tend to be highly competent, while their younger siblings are more likely to wind up the family laggards increasingly, scientific studies are finding that there is truth behind the typecasting, reports jeffrey kluger in the new issue of time the. Sibling issues in foster care and adoption for these children, an older sibling was often their only perceived source of help sibling relationships. Sibling issues when caring for aging parents if you are a caregiver for elderly parents, you might be experiencing issues related to siblings and your aging parents.Download

Opunake is a seaside town about 45 kilometres from New Plymouth. Settled in the 1880’s, it was originally intended to be where a port would be built. The port never was, which is good as the beach is here for all to enjoy.
The black sand of the beach is the inspiration for Dulux Opunake.
I highly recommend having an ice cream from the beach café, as the range of flavours is great, and the value for money is exceptional. You can order either one or two (very generous) scoops. I would only recommend getting one scoop, after ordering 2 scoops, I was observing the guy behind the counter creating the first scoop and changed to only one scoop based on the oversized single scoop!

When your gut health is compromised, it can lead to more than just a bloated feeling or poor bowel movements. Your immune system can be affected too.
So don’t let common digestive issues – no matter how light – become the norm for you. Instead of bearing discomfort from indigestion and poor bowel movement till it goes away yet again, take preventive steps to keep your gut health in check.
Product researcher at Suntory Wellness Research Centre, Mr Yu Ipponmatsu, shares some tips on how to boost your immunity and promote better digestion.
Q: Why is it important to take care of our gut health?
Actively caring for your gut health can alleviate the woes that come with ageing and unchecked lifestyle habits.
Here are five reasons to bear in mind:
- An imbalance of gut bacteria can manifest as poor digestion, poor bowel movement, poor immunity and poor skin complexion.

The default port used is 27017 by various MongoDB drivers while 28017 is used to handle HTTP requests and provides some general monitoring.
In case you are interested to start mongod on a separate port for say security reasons, take it as 6565,
then the monitor port will always be 7575.
You can also query via web browser, sudo /etc/init.d/mongod --rest. Now simple
queries can be executed like http://localhost:7575/database/collection/?filter_a=1.
I often use mongoid to access mongodb in my rails application and access the rails console using
rails c production, which links me to the mongo database present on different ec2 instance.
Use "connection strings" of the form mongodb://user:pwd@host:port/.

Three workers of BN Ceramics Company, Ajaokuta, Kogi State, yesterday lost their lives in a motor accident on Ajaokuta Road. The state Sector Commander of the Federal Road Safety Commission (FRSC), Mr. Solomon Agure, confirmed the accident.
The accident, which occurred about 9.45am, involved a bus and Toyota car. A witness said both vehicles collided when the driver of the bus tried to overtake another vehicle at a sharp bend.
The FRSC Sector Commander, Agure, said three workers of the BN Ceramics Company died out of nine in the company’s vehicle. He added that the officials worked overnight and closed from work in the morning but they did not get home, as the staff bus conveying them had a head-on collision with another vehicle.
Those injured were rushed to the hospital for medical treatment. Meanwhile, the management of BN Ceramics, in a statement issued yesterday, regretted the death of some of its staff in the accident.
The company’s Human Resources Manager, Salihu Mohammed, said in the statement that the accident occurred within the steel complex about 10am. He said: “The management condoles with the family of those who lost their lives. The management is making frantic efforts to pick up the medical bills of those injured.
“The management calls for calm amongst the staff, praying God to grant the deceased eternal rest and their families the fortitude to bear the loss.”

I took the opportunity to learn a bit about Gaeta. It is the location of the earliest known written reference to pizza. That alone should endear the town to all of us. They have a mountain named Orlando, the same name as the city I live in. They also have a special olive there. I need to find some of these olives to try.
It turns out, Gaeta is also a beautiful town and, if this class is any indication, it is full of smart, kind people.

BY MARIA MERLINO/Â Third Dist. Police Capt. Mike Ryan knows the importance of communicating with residents. Thatâ€™s why Ryan hosted a 3rd Dist. Public Safety Conference at the Holiday Inn, 10th & Packer Avenue.
â€œThe response time for calls may not be as fast as you like, but we are addressing it,â€ Ryan told the packed house.
Ryan is a couple months short of hisÂ two-year anniversary at his 11th & Dickinson office. He has seen an influx of new residents move into the district in his 22-month stint as police captain. He said itâ€™s a main reason he has initiated the first of a series in community meetings.
â€œWe got a good turnout,â€ Ryan said at the first meeting. â€œThe civic groups are doing a great job, but what I hope to accomplish is having more dialogue among them. Weâ€™re sowing the seeds and look forward to the big-picture dynamic. Sometimes groups can be somewhat insular, but my goal is to get an exchange of ideas going so that we can get on the same page. I know this will take time and weâ€™re trying to overcome any awkwardness with some of the major changes.â€
With one of the fastest-growing populations in Philadelphia, the 3rd Dist. is an unmined gem. â€œHave you noticed all the New York license plates?â€ said Ryan. â€œOut-of-state buyers are loving it here. You really are getting a big bang for your buck. Our taxes to us may be high, but they are triple or more elsewhere. We have commuters and new families that are thrilled with their purchase. The urban experience is very marketable.â€ I myself have overheard a Realtor tell someone that South Philly is the new Center City! The 3rd Dist. is growing by leaps and bounds and with all the construction and rehabs going on, the hottest area for new development is Dickinson Street between 4th and 8th Streets.
â€œTheÂ 3rd Dist. is 6Â½ square miles and itâ€™s mostly residential,â€ Ryan said. â€œThere are a few parks, but not as large as Fairmount Park with all the trails, and we also have the Stadium area. There is, in addition, the 9th Street area and the E. Passyunk Avenue area that has restaurants and many festivals.â€
Assistant Managing Director of the City of Philadelphia Adeâ€™ Fuqua is working with Philly Rising, a collaborative organization that among other issues, tackles quality-of-life concerns. â€œWe are in two South Philadelphia neighborhoods,â€ Fuqua said. â€œOne is the Point Breeze area bounded by 19th and 20th Street and from Snyder Avenue to Reed Street. Also, since May, we have gone into Southeast Philadelphia, between 4th and 7th Streets and Ritner to Tasker Streets. One of our main focuses is alleyway cleanups, because there is a correlation between crime and grime. Weâ€™re pretty much working with city government, the police and inspectors to curb any increase in crime. Weâ€™ve taken tons of debris away because Capt. Ryan has indicated the police canâ€™t get through when chasing after the bad guys. Itâ€™s unsafe for the officers and unsafe for the neighborhood. I wanted to know who volunteers to do the job.
â€œWe partner with AmeriCorps National Civilian Community Corps ( www.americorps.gov/ncc ). This is a team-based program, itâ€™s the Peace Corps but for domestic places, with young adults 18-24. But we also need everyone to get engaged and bring a friend. Weâ€™re always looking for civic-minded individuals.â€
Capt. Ryan urges residents to attend the next police district community meeting in November. Emergency management is the topic of discussion.

JOHANNESBURG - The Department of Water and Sanitation on Tuesday said there was a possibility that the Misverstand Dam near Moorreesburg in the Western Cape could run out of water by April 24.
Spokesperson Sputnik Ratau said the province was still faced with drought conditions as seen by deteriorating dam levels, coupled with high water consumption by households.
“The department will make a release of up to 5 million cubic metres of water from the Voelvlei and Berg River dams. This release will be initiated between 17 and 20 April 2018 to ensure that the water reaches the Misverstand Dam by April 24.
“Water will also be supplemented into the Berg River Dam through the emergency pumping scheme from the Theewaterskloof Dam, and should there be any significant rainfall resulting in run-off during the operation the extent of the release will be revise," said Ratau.
Sputnik said the river reach from Berg river dam to Misverstand Dam was approximately 138 kilometres and it was estimated that it will take seven days for the first water to reach the dam.
"It is also important to note that once the release starts, which will be in the order of 20 cumecs, the Emergency Preparedness Plan will be initiated through the relevant Disaster Management Centres as there could be some localised flooding immediately adjacent to the river. Communities must be made aware and take necessary precautions during the release period," said Ratau.
Ratau added that water users were reminded that their water use was still restricted and that the water allocation was from normal flow of river and they were requested to refrain from pumping during this transfer period and also to safeguard their pumps during this higher flow period.
