Climate Change
Palm Oil Plantations Displace Communities in Central America, Video Tells the Story
By Carol Schachet
January 5th, 2016
Palm oil is the most widely consumed vegetable oil on the planet, with some 50 million metric tons produced annually. High demand for the product is leading to the growth of African Palm plantations in Central America, which, in turn, is fueling environmental destruction, the exploitation of agricultural labor, and the displacement of local peasant farmers by companies often financed by development banks.
What happened in Paris? A Sham, and a Shame
By Chung-Wha Hong and Sara Mersha
December 30th, 2015
Despite all the fanfare, the bottom line from the Paris Agreement is that emissions from fossil fuels will continue at levels that endanger life on the planet, and the trading schemes the agreement promotes will lead to an increase in natural resource grabs.
While government dignitaries engaged in UN climate negotiations (the 21st Conference of the Parties to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, otherwise known as the COP21) we had a chance to participate in 10 days of powerful strategy sessions and actions for climate justice in Paris alongside many of Grassroots International's Global South partners. We will tell you more about movement proposals and accomplishments soon, but let's start by reviewing the official agreement.
Historic Flooding in India Shows Destructiveness of Climate Change
Monsoon rains are a key part of the ecosystem in India, with whole regions depending on the seasonal monsoons for their water throughout the year. But this season's monsoon brought a downpour of historic magnitude in the state of Tamil Nadu, destroying tens of thousands of homes and livelihoods.
This is what the destructiveness of climate change looks like.
Tamil Nadu usually gets around 13 inches of rain in the summer and around 18 inches of rain in the fall. This year following average summer rains came unprecedented rainfall starting in late October, and it just didn't let up. In just a single day in early December Tamil Nadu received an unbelievable 21 inches of rain.
Road to Climate Justice Goes through Palestine
Among the thousands of activists gathered in Paris as part of the Peoples Climate Summit, Hiba Al-Jibeihi represented multiple movements -- gender justice, land rights, food sovereignty, Palestinian human rights and, of course, climate justice. She wore the flags of the Via Campesina (a Grassroots International partner) and the Union of Agricultural Work Committees (a Grassroots International partner and member of the Via Campesina). Here she talks about the importance of bringing together all the threads that lead to justice and peace.
Voices from Paris: To Achieve Climate Justice, We must Dismantle Corporate Power
One of the common themes coming from the streets of the Climate Justice Summit in Paris (and not heard in the offical government negotiations) is a clear linking of capitalism's insatiable appetite and climate disruption. Two Grassroots International partners offered these reflections.
Postcards from the Paris Climate Summit
Thousands of frontline community leaders and activists are rallying in Paris to promote grassroots solutions to climate change. Our own Sara Mersha and Chung-Wha Hong are there with them and sent these snapshots of people carrying the banner for climate justice in our lifetime.
To Paris and Beyond
Two nights ago, we co-hosted a sold-out screening of the Avi Lewis film This Changes Everything, based on Naomi Klein's recent book about climate change and capitalism. The energy was electric, as a crowd full of people from the Boston area watched, hissed and cheered in response to stories on the screen. The film exposed the root causes of climate disruption – a global economic system that exploits people and the earth – as well as highlighting stories of Indigenous Peoples and farmers around the world who are standing together to defend humanity and Mother Earth.
Ancestral Territories, Human Rights & Climate Struggle: A Photo Blog from Honduras
Descendents of escapees from African slave ships and indigenous communities, the Garifuna people live on the Atlantic coast of Honduras. Their beautiful seascape and ecologically rich lands have attracted aggressive interest from foreign investors for plans ranging from tourist resorts to mining to industrial agriculture.
New Video Shows How "Together, we can cool the planet!"
For many years, La Vía Campesina and GRAIN have been telling the world about how the agroindustrial food system causes half of all greenhouse gas emissions. But the world's governments are refusing to face these problems head on, and the Paris Summit in December is approaching without any effective commitment to doing so on their part.
This new video (Together, we can cool the planet!) by La Vía Campesina and GRAIN gives you the information you need to understand how the agroindustrial food system is impacting our climate, and at the same time what we can do to change course and start cooling the planet. And every single one of us is part of the solution!
Black Lives & Climate Justice: From Haiti to New Orleans to Boston
Scores of people – showing a great diversity of races, ages and backgrounds – packed into the room to look together at the connections between climate justice and Black Lives Matter, and how these movements present themselves in the experiences of Haiti, New Orleans and elsewhere. More people spilled out into the hallway, illustrating how ready people were to hear the powerful words coming from inside: everyone matters and has a role in the struggle for human rights and the survival of the planet.

As the Braves football team prepares to play Charlestown in Saturday's Lucas Oil Stadium Showcase at the home of the Indianapolis Colts, Bishop made sure to express her support on that sign.

The Grinch Who Stole Christmas Eyes by KatieAlvesWatch
©2011-2016 KatieAlves
It's the Grinch! I've got Mount Crumpit with the Grinch on the top, with the sleigh full of toys, then lower down is his home. On the other side I've got the large Christmas tree with all the whos holding hands and singing!
As some have mentioned, the mountain is not smeared. If you look at the mountain picture, it has spikes coming off the side. That is what I did. I would never leave that big and fixable of a smear! XD
I hope everyone has a wonderful holiday!

Its overall great work. A really great way to convey the Christmas cheer that's been spreading like the flu. But i think maybe next time, work with a smaller, more zoomed in perspective to give better detail. everything looks a bit blurred when you get a really close look. I like the way you did the different shades of blue for the early morning setting in the story. Also, the Mount Crumpit looks a bit smeared and sloppy when you look closely at it. try liquid eyeliner for the black parts of the mountain. I really like it keep up the good work!
The Artist thought this was FAIR
53 out of 90 deviants thought this was fair.
Wow, I rarely give things 5 stars, but this is amazing. The details amazes me the more I stare at it. The little Grinch on top made me chuckle. It was also amazing on how you added colors on your eyelashes corresponding to the design. I adore the little Christmas tree, it even has texture. I can see you put a lot of work into this beautiful piece of art, especially with the limited size and probably supplies. This makes me want to go watch "The Grinch" again. Keep up the good work. I hope you have a merry Christmas, and a happy New Year!

The Baro't saya is the unofficial national dress of the Philippines.[citation needed]
The early pre-colonial clothing of groups such as the Tagalogs and Visayans included both the baro and saya made from silk in matching colours. This style was exclusively worn by the women from the upper caste, while those of lower castes wore baro made from pounded white bark fibre.
Modern groups whose traditional attire still closely resembles these more ancient styles include the Tumandok of Panay— the only Visayan people who were not hispanised; various Moro peoples; and the indigenous Lumad tribes in the interior of Mindanao.[1]

A family belonging to the Principalía or lowland Christian nobility and aristocracy, wearing the Barong Tagalog and Baro't Saya.

Viewer Comments: Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder - Treatment

The eMedicineHealth doctors ask about ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder in Children):
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder - Treatment
What treatment has been effective for your child's ADHD?
Comment from: Alexandre, 25-34 Male (Patient) Published: September 10
I found out I have ADHD last year at age 29. History of my education shows that it is not because of my IQ, but I simply have no control of my attention span when in school. My test results showed that I do not have problem with others, but only have problems because of my attention rate. Since college, I have a hard time to control my mood swings. I compete with people who have looked down on me and most of the time I proved them wrong, but in the long run, the more I push myself harder the more I became self-destructive. After taking Ritalin, I got better at the beginning for about a month. The drug can only get me on my high brain wave control for a short time. My ability to multitask was worn out bits by bit. I do hope there will be more attention on our issues. Please put more effort on the research.

Can a Renault Le Car beat a Corvette?
For reasons that I shall not get into, I once owned a Renault Le Car. And once when I owned that Renault Le Car I found myself lined up next to a Corvette at a red light.
For reasons that I shall not get into, I once owned a Renault Le Car. And once when I owned that Renault Le Car I found myself lined up next to a Corvette at a red light.
Some of you might have wondered where in hell Rocket Surgery Racing found the 1956 Renault 4CV that served as the basis of their Index of Effluency-winning LeMons car. In the conveniently-located Warehouse Of French Hell Project Doom, of course!
When you bring a Renault Le Car with skunk tail and fur to a LeMons race, you've already got a big jump on the Index Of Effluency competition. All you need to do is keep the thing running all weekend.
A few months back, I spotted this '82 Renault Le Car in the "fixer-upper" section of an East Bay wrecking yard. "How much?" I asked. "800 bucks!" was the reply. Nobody bought the little Renault, and now it's Crusher bait.
This is Down On The Street Bonus Edition, where we check out interesting street-parked cars located in places other than the Island That Rust Forgot. You don't see a lot of Renault 5 Turbos down on the American street!
Founded nearly 300 years ago by the French, New Orleans remains to this day below sea level. Now, Nice Price or Crack Pipe has a Big Easy Renault, and wonders if you'd pay more than a French Quarter for it.
We spent the day watching the Crewe Le Pew Renault Le Car buzzing around the track. No black flags, no mechanical problems. Sure, it was incredibly slow, but it had the look of a survivor. Then: disaster!
As we continue to work on the Ultimate Engine Survivors Honor Roll, certain engines start to stand out for their incredibly long lifespans. Here's one that was built in some form from 1947 through at least 1997.
Thanksgiving is getting close and you may need to be prepared if asked to carve the turkey. Nice Price or Crack Pipe thinks you should practice on some canyons, and has a Renault that's pretty sharp for the task.
Even though Renault never had a big presence here in North America, we can still admire the TV commercials for their cars. Spanning the spectrum from salacious to surreal, Renault ads rarely fail to entertain.
We're on a four-straight Crack Pipe roll, with 68% of you directing the $37,995 Ferrari Mondial to take its sorry self to Booth Number Two. Will today's car be the one to break the streak?
How much is too much for an interesting old car? The Renault Le Car (that's a Renault 5 to you Yurpeans) is pretty interesting, all right, but $5300.83? Nice Price… or Booth Numbah Two?
We had a debate going on whether we should call this Le Car the Le Carmino or the El Carmino, seeing as Le and El carry the same meaning. No matter, this French fry is a dreamy vehicle no matter how you slice the name. For reasons that we have no explanation for, this particular Camino has been outfitted not only with…
In North America, it was called the Le Car, and it served as the basis for the way-cooler-than-the-EV1 Lectric Leopard. But over in Yurp, the boxy little Renault hatch was known as the 5, and it apparently inspired Britons in the Late Malaise Era to experience life as a sort of mashup of thumping late-70s disco and…
For all the lengthy description this car's seller provides in the listing, the glaring omissions are a bit worrying. First of all, what year is the car? We hear a lot of talk about "27 years", which would be meaningful if we knew the car had been purchased new by the seller. Then there's the matter of the "Alpine…
How will you one-up the Joneses when they roll up all green and proud in their new plug-in Prius? You could do like eBay user armie253 did, scoring an electric Renault Le Car with only 221 miles on the clock for only $3750. Sure, it only goes 55 MPH and the range is on the limited side, but it's an electric Le Car!…
The Pete Best of subcompacts stands up and shouts without words in this oddball German clip. We can safely say that the Le Car has seen a million faces, but has it truly rocked them all? You make the call. Sorry about the muffly sound quality. Now let us see your lighters out there!
We love the mid-engined Renault R5 Turbo. The flared and steroidal Le Car is simply one of the most badass econobox derivatives ever created. There's one in the Great White North that's been imported from France. At $10k now, and it hasn't hit reserve, but think about the potential hoonage to be had in this…
Really, this is one of the coolest commercials ever made. It kicks the poop out of Ford's re-animation of Steve McQueen a couple of years ago. Do yourself a favor, click over and be amazed. Just make sure to pick your jaw up from the floor when you're done watching. Wouldn't want that cat to step on it. [Thanks to…

This motel can be so much better with attention to detail at not much cost. Search the cause of the smell, pay attention to detail with cleaning, purchase a better quality towel. The doors to our neighboring rooms were left open. I called, they knew they were open but who leaves rooms open for anyone to enter? Or anything?

Online Library in the Cards
Yahoo has thrown its weight behind a San Francisco group that hopes to develop an online library of digitized texts and films in the public domain, available for download and reuse in high-resolution formats.
Yahoo is one of a number of organizations supporting the Open Content Alliance, which plans to set up an online archive of existing digital collections of books and films, as well as to add new works to the archive.
Some of the works will be released under one or other of the Creative Commons licenses, which allow artistic works to be distributed or reused under certain conditions.
The Open Content Alliance's digital library is not the only one under construction. Google is building another, Google Print, for which it plans to digitize millions of books, including some still covered by copyright.

Thank you! I'm glad you like it! I try to get my coloring style so people can't tell where the brush strokes are (despite that this is primarily cell shading).
But it still looks great.

as someone who has been turning over the different angles of this reality for quite some time, I thought John Lear might be right about basic ETs running things. To my logical mind it made perfect sense.
However, something else, perhaps less mechanistic, caused me to keep pushing and looking under every rock.
A few things I have found in favor of a very GLP take that Jesus Christ did exist:
1) Al Bielek and Preston Nichols both seem to agree that Christ did exist. Nichols actually says that the Montauk Program tried to take samples of Christ's blood by going back in time, but according to them, whoever came into contact with it basically became altruistic, so it didn't work. I thought this was hilarious.
2) Basiago--another supposed time-traveler concurs that Jesus Christ existed.
So time travelers seem to agree: Jesus Christ did come and was sacrificed on the cross and it was a profound experience for humanity.
3) New BBC documentary, among others, now say the supposed Carbon test was faulty and there is evidence that there were shenanigans from the start, in terms of who oversaw the cloth sample taken.
4) Insiders, from former satanists to former illuminati say Jesus Christ existed and that the New Age is basically a Luciferian conspiracy.
see: Roger Morneau 1946; Mark Cleminson, Carolyn Hamlett, John Todd, etc for more on this angle
5) MUFON researchers have been covering up the fact that there are over 400 cases where calling on the name of Christ and becoming a person who follows Jesus Christ (as opposed to many "Christians") can resolve and eliminate the phenomenon.
Here's some basic places to look:
youtube the following:
1) John Todd
2) Lucifer's Children
3) "former satanist shows everyday occultism"
4) The UFO phenomenon explained by MUFON researcher who claims that calling on Christ to alleviate the abduction phenomenon not only works, but is being covered up:
link to vimeo.com
some of the top researchers such as Jaque Vallee and J Allen Hyneck were convinced the phenomenon was demonic/other dimensional...
5) "former illuminati" generally and Mark Cleminson specifically...
6) Roger Morneau--great guy, amazing story!
7) another former illuminati's experience--and another example of what appear to be 'rules':

8) Recent BBC documentary on new evidence for the Shroud of Turin-=-there are a few good docs on this now worth seeing and questioning, especially now that they admit the carbon dating was shite:
link to www.youtube.com
] v=dr9_v5A4a2w
9) Carolyn Hamlett is a survivor from generational Illuminist bloodlines, spared and delivered from its hold on her mind and life by her faith in God. Carolyn is a former "multi-generational server" in the Illuminati. She provides further evidence that humanity is the victim of a long-term satanic conspiracy that is entering its final stage. "I have known "The Plan" since I was a small child and have seen it carried out just as I was told it would be....It has been a very slow process to get people to the point where common sense is not so common."
She joins the ranks of Svali, Cathy O'Brien, Brice Taylor and other whistleblowers exposing the mind control and unspeakable tortures being forced upon children and civilians by the military on behalf of the goals of Luciferian World Government.
As a person of high rank in "The Organization," Carolyn has seen and experienced Satanic horrors, and knows many details of "The Plan" to bring on the Antichrist and the NWO that she has been divulging in television and radio broadcasts and in her own writings

11) Johanna Michaelsen - someone who was heavily involved in working with shamanism and being a medium also has an interesting story..
12) Dave Hunt has some interesting research on the origins of the push for yoga, new agism, etc... the history of yoga I thought interesting that it was developed to tune the body to communicate with other-dimensional hindu "gods" aka demons, again...

I am having to use DOSBox to run a old DOS-based program, but whenever I type a letter it's upper-case, rather than lower-case. The only way I can get a lower-case letter is by holding down shift. Does anyone know how I can fix this?
OK, sorted out the problem: I went into DOSBox's keyboard mapping (Ctrl-F1) and set the "CAPS LOCK" Key to be always down ("Hold"). Everything now works as expected.

Is it possible to wake up an Apple TV 2 using the Apple Remote app on an iPhone or iPad rather than using the remote that comes packaged with the Apple TV 2?
Yes, as soon as you start the Remote app and tap the 'Menu' button, the Apple TV will wake up.
If your Apple TV is using WiFi, it may only work with an Apple Airport. It's more a matter of your router supporting the Bonjour sleep proxy service. It needs to send the wake up packet to your Apple TV when it sees the remote app trying to poll and see which devices are present on the network to control remotely.

This application is a divisional of U.S. application Ser. No. 10/114,936, filed Apr. 4, 2002, which is now U.S. Pat. No. 6,871,885.
This invention relates to improvements for window locks for sashes which are both slideable and rotatable or tiltable such as single hung, double hung, sliding or tilt and slide window.
A window lock and its use for a single hung, double hung, or sliding window or the like is known. Typically, a cam-lock and its housing are centrally attached to a framing part of a moveable inner window sash and the cam-lock is moved by a handle into and out of engagement with a slot or keeper disposed with an outer frame part or window sash. In order to tilt the window away from the frame a separate operator accessible tilt latch is required adjacent each end of the free end of a pivoting window. These latches are moved into and out of engagement with the track to permit tilting of the window and include spring biased plungers which normally engage in the tracks and which are retractable by the user by the operation of a separate operator engaged with the plunger.
Past structures for a tilt latch include a plunger having a nose portion which typically engages the track of the window assembly. The ability of the latch to wind loads can depend on the depth to which the nose portion extends into the track. The only portion available to stop the nose from releasing from the track under for example higher wind loads is the actual track profile itself which depending on the thickness of the vinyl utilized, could result in the inadvertent release of the nose portion and hence the tilt latch resulting in potential damage to the window assembly. In order to address this problem, our prior patent, U.S. Pat. No. 5,946,857 teaches in FIGS. 13 and 13C an adjustable block assembly which includes a portion (202) to receive the nose portion (251). In our prior patent the adjustable block system is incorporated with a central locking system and is utilized to reinforce the latch portion (251) in the triangular shaped detent of the block. Since the adjustable block is fixed to the frame any force tending to unlatch the nose portion of the latch (251) will be passed on to the frame instead of to the vinyl track. However, such an installation is quite costly and does not find application generically within various window assemblies. It would therefore be advantageous to provide such a block mechanism for incorporation in simpler structures while providing an improved reinforcing for the latch and particularly for the combination cam lock/tilt latch of the present invention.
It is also known in the art to provide various forms of simplified latches. For example, U.S. Pat. No. 5,715,631 attempts to combine a cam lock with a tilt latch but it is required that a separate latching portion be included within the sash framing part which renders the construction difficult to implement universally.
U.S. Pat. No. 5,139,291 teaches a flush mounted tilt latch for a window which includes a finger operator (74) to operate a plunger portion (47).
U.S. Pat. No. 5,992,907 teaches a lock and tilt latch combination which may be double acting.
U.S. Pat. No. 5,356,667 teaches a tilt latch for a sliding window which is simple but which may not be reliable in terms of its locking capacity. This is true also for U.S. Pat. No. 6,135,510.
U.S. Pat. No. 6,076,304 teaches a latching assembly including a rack and pinion member operated by a user accessible handle and including a tab (58) to operate said latch.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,961,286 also includes a tilt latch which is simple and which may also be toggled as seen in FIG. 2 therein.
Nowhere in the prior art is there provided a simple combined cam lock/tilt latch which is surfaced mounted, and which may be utilized with any window construction.
It is also known to provide security systems in combination with window assemblies. Examples of such systems are found in U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,164,705 and 5,007,199 which includes a magnet (14) contained within a pivot shoe (70) which may slide in a track portion to and from the reed switch sensor (15) disposed within the alarm system (90) contained within the jam portion. The alarm system therefore is pre-installed in the window and may be sold as original equipment or on replacement windows. Further U.S. Pat. No. 3,896,404 teaches a hinge having two leafs with a magnet (22) disposed in one leaf and the read switch (26) disposed in the other leaf with the security system being alarmed when the hinges are located proximate one another, and with the hinge being installable within any door, being pre-wired and thereby being adaptable to security systems.
It would therefore be advantageous to include with a tilt latch reinforcing block for a track for a single hung, double hung, sliding or tilt and slide window the necessary receiver portions of a security system fixed in position in relation to a tilt latch nose portion carrying the transmitter. Alternatively it is heretofore unknown to have the transmitter and receiver for a security system integrated with a camlock and keeper or slot of a latch assembly.
It is also known to provide a tilt latch for an outside sash member for a window assembly. It is also known that the outside sash member can only be tilted inwardly for cleaning because of the window framing section on the exterior of the building it is not possible for the outside sash to pivot outwardly. When the inside sash therefore is in it's lock position, wind loads are passed from the outside sash to the inside sash relying on the locking mechanism and the tilt latch assembly for whatever resistance it may provide to the wind load. Many of the latch systems utilized on the outside window sash are excessive and it would be advantageous to simplify such a latch to a one piece latch system with accomplishes all the necessary objectives for an outside sash latch while simplifying the expense of manufacture and installation.
It is also known within the industry to provide a clamping pivot shoe as taught in U.S. Pat. No. 5,927,014 to Mr. Shaul Goldenberg, one of the inventors of this present invention. As best seen in FIGS. 14, 19, 22, and 22B of U.S. Pat. No. 5,927,014 a clamping system requires that flanges that extend laterally or vertically from the track be provided in the window assembly with these track flanges riding at all times within the gap (130) between the two clamping surfaces (P2 and P3). These clamping surfaces P2 and P3 therefore do not carry the laterally extending flanges but there is a manufacturing clearance made available in order for the clamping assembly to move freely in the track when it is free to do so, and for the clamping to take effect only when the operator for example, handle (140) is moved to a horizontal position as seen in FIG. 20 in that particular patent. As seen in FIG. 22A such a system is preferably embodied between two pivot shoes (100 and 500) which are interconnected by interconnecting portion (520). Although such a system works very well, it may be uneconomical for many window producers because of the stiff competition found in the market place. It would therefore be advantageous to provide a clamping system which has most of the advantages of those taught in U.S. Pat. No. 5,927,014 to Mr. Goldenberg while reducing the cost of such a system.
Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to combine a cam lock and tilt latch into one assembly which will much simplify present known structures and provide broader application in window assemblies.
A primary object of this invention is to provide a combination camlock/tilt latch assembly which much simplifies prior known structures and which is surface mounted to any window assembly where appropriate.
It is a further object of the invention to provide a latch reinforcing block which may be utilized with a tilt latch, and preferably the combination camlock/tilt latch, in order in improve the reinforcement of the latch and its ability to resist wind loads at a higher wind pressure.
It is yet a further object of this invention to provide such a latch reinforcing block which includes at least one latching position and which further incorporates components of a security system so that the security system may be alarmed at both a locked and at a latched position.
It is yet a further object of this invention to provide a cam lock/tilt latch combination which provides for hyperextension of long nose portion at the locked position which nose portion extends well into the track or alternatively within the reinforcing block to further improve the reinforcement of the latch assembly.
It is yet a further object of the invention to provide alarm components within the hardware of a window assembly including the latch reinforcing block and the cam lock/tilt latch combination and the keeper, slot or the like to enable a security system to be pre-wired into a pre-assembled original or replacement window assembly.
It is a further object of the invention to provide a simple one piece outside sash latching mechanism which is inexpensive compact.
It is yet a further object of the invention to provide a quick locking pivot shoe which clamps against the track sections prior to the free end of the pivoting window sash leaving the frame section of the window assembly.
Further and other objects of the invention will become apparent to those skilled in the art when considering the following summary of the invention and the more detailed description of the preferred embodiments illustrated herein.
According to one aspect of the invention there is provided a combination lock/latch for a window assembly for installation on a moveable sash adjacent a track jamb of the window assembly, and preferably a double hung or tilt and slide window assembly, said combination lock/latch comprising:
wherein said lock/latch combination obviates the need for a separate cam-lock and a separate tilt latch.
Preferably said detent of said cam-lock is a shoulder and the detent of said tilt latch is a tab disposed at the end of a flexible finger, these parts engaging to convert the rotary motion of said cam to linear motion of said tilt latch. Preferably a return spring is disposed within said housing to engage the tilt latch intermediate said nose and said tab to bias the sliding linear motion of said latch to the track engaging position. In one embodiment the keeper or slot may further comprise a receiver/transmitter for an alarm system while the camlock includes the corresponding transmitter/receiver.
According to yet another aspect of the invention, there is provided a latch reinforcing block for engagement with the nose portion of any tilt latch assembly and preferably with the above-mentioned camlock/tilt latch combination, said block comprising a top and bottom and having extending from proximate the top to proximate the bottom there-through fastening portions to fasten said reinforcing block within the track of a preferred window assembly, said reinforcing block having disposed proximate the top thereof at least one cutout, notch or pocket extending towards the bottom and for receipt of a corresponding nose portion of the latch assembly in order to pass loads such as wind loads or the like to the frame section to which the reinforcing block is attached, preferably the reinforcing block includes an extra large notch, pocket, cutout or the like in order to engage with the corresponding nose portion of the tilt latch which is able to hyperextend much past the normal extension of such a nose portion into the block to further enhance the reinforcing and load carrying capability of the window assembly. The ability to hyperextend the nose portion of the block is a result of the construction of the tilt latch. For example when the tilt latch is the preferred camlock/tilt latch then the various positions of the handle of the lock will correspond to various positions of the nose of the tilt latch from a fully released position, a subsequent unlocked yet latched position whereat the nose extends partially into the block, to a fully locked position whereat the nose portion hyper-extends into the block.
When the window assembly is a single hung or a double hung window, the reinforcing block may further comprise a counter balance spring mounting block for engagement with the counter balance spring of the single or double hung window assembly, said reinforcing block further comprising a means for engaging the counter balance spring when present and fastening thereto wherein said housing for the counter balance spring and/or said spring is mounted on or fastened to the reinforcing block fastened to sash track allowing motion of the spring while the block is fixed into position relative to said track. Preferably, said reinforcing block for the counter balance spring may be adapted to include at least one reed switch element for a security system, pre-wired thereto and within the sash, so as to enable the security system to be installed in the window assembly as it is manufactured. Preferably the corresponding magnet may be installed with the nose portion of a tilt latch.
When the reinforcing block is installed within a tilt and slide window assembly it may further comprise a body mounted within said track having at least one cut-out, notch, or pocket for receipt of the nose portion of a tilt latch, said body having disposed therein means to enable a security system to be armed, (for example a reed switch or magnet) whether the latch nose is in the locked or in the latched position.
The block therefore provides with the preferred cam-lock/tilt latch combination superior performance of a latching system and it's ability to shed wind pressure loading by having a higher capacity to do so, and further the ability to provide a preinstalled transmitter/receiver components for a security system therefore eliminating unsightly wiring.
In another aspect of the invention a simple tilt latch for an outside sash is provided comprising a one piece member which includes a flexible finger which flexes when the latch is released from a track, or a preferred block disposed in a track, by pulling the sash inwardly away from the frame, a flexible zone disposed with said finger providing the flexing function of the finger in order to release said latch from the track or preferred block. Preferably said finger is a narrow extension extending from the body of the simple tilt latch which flexes away from and toward the track or preferred block as provided by the flexible zone when the latch is released or engaged and which returns by memory to its track engaging position. The simple latch includes mounting openings provided therewith for mounting to the framing portion of the outside sash. In this manner the simple latch is easily released without the need for a separate operator.
According to a primary aspect of the invention there is provided a clamping pivot shoe which unlike Mr. Goldenberg's prior interconnected structure identified in the background of the invention, will clamp quickly and preferably within one degree of rotation as the window pivots in relation to the frame. In this way the need to interconnect the pivot shoe with a separate gliding shoe in the track is eliminated, and problems such as sagging or deforming the seal are obviated.
According to yet another aspect of the invention there is provided a substantially zero clearance clamping pivot shoe, said pivot shoe comprising a top and a bottom and having disposed proximate the top and bottom thereof, camming members having camming elements or surfaces having leading edges and said members preferably being formed from metal, said camming members having disposed there-between a first and a second track clamping element preferably having braking means provided therewith and preferably at least one supplementary preferably pebbled preferably metal braking part engageable with a clamping element and a track portion for a window assembly disposed and riding between said clamping elements in use, said clamping members each having compatible camming elements or surfaces engagable with respect to the top and bottom camming member elements or surfaces, said top and bottom clamping elements including track engaging parts and track supporting glide posts respectively integrally formed therewith to enable the track to glide unclamped yet supported between the clamping elements when the window is not pivoted, the top of the posts extending above the top of said braking means until the window is pivoted, wherein when the window is pivoted the leading edge of the camming elements/surfaces of the top and bottom members override the camming elements/surfaces of the clamping elements to cause the clamping portions and preferred braking means to move towards one another preferably a distance substantially equal to the sum of the dimensions of the top and bottom camming elements thereby causing the clamping elements to immediately move toward one another and to clamp down on the laterally extending track portion of the window assembly and prevent movement of the sash within the track prior to the window being pivoted more than substantially 1 degree or substantially beyond the angle whereat the free end of the window would no longer be disposed in the track. This action is important to prevent the sash from sagging which might occur if the pivot shoe did not quickly and substantially immediately lock and clamp against the track elements. Preferably the top and bottom camming members and clamping portions include camming elements that are substantially triangular shaped land and groove portions.
The performance for our pivot shoe therefore is substantially equivalent to Mr. Goldenberg's prior clamping structure in function while tremendously simplifying such a structure and reducing the costs.
Preferably the upper clamping member includes a substantially v-shaped camming surface which normally engages a substantially v-shaped camming pocket within the upper clamping member, and preferably the lower camming member includes smaller trapezoidal-shaped camming surfaces which engage with compatibly shaped camming recesses in the lower clamping member to provide the clamping action.
In the preferred embodiment the upper camming member engages with a metal bracket proximate the top thereof and includes a pivot extension portion which extends through the upper and lower clamping member, the lower camming member being secured proximate the bottom thereof preferably via a substantially c-shaped clip engaging a groove provided with said pivot extension portion. Preferably, the metal bracket engaging the upper camming member includes a slot and an outwardly extending leg for engaging with the sash and a corresponding bracket having a generally hat shaped profile fastened to the side of a window sash adjacent the pivoting ends thereof, wherein the hat profile may be slid into the substantially c-shaped profile of the first bracket to fasten the window sash to the pivot shoe assembly and the outwardly extending leg.
The reader is referred to U.S. Pat. No. 5,946,857 the teaching of which are hereby incorporated by reference in relation to reinforcing block utilized for accepting a nose portion of a tilt latch. Further the prior patent of Mr. Shaul Goldenberg U.S. Pat. No. 5,927,014 is herewith incorporated by reference with respect to clamping feature of a pivot shoe which respect to the laterally extending or vertically extending flanges of a track said flange extending between the clamping shoe at all times; the feature of clamping and the operation thereof being hereby incorporated by reference into this application.
The present installation and embodiments incorporate various inventions which have a synergy in that they work together to improve the overall stability and integrity of the window system within which they are installed. Any window may be utilized and incorporate some or all of the various aspects of the invention including single hung, double hung, sliding, tilt and slide, casement window systems and alike.
