1. Field to which invention relates
The invention relates to an expanding masonry attachment plug, preferably of plastics material, whose plug head has a wide insertion hole and whose shank, provided with a through hole, is divided by longitudinal slits or slots into expanding segments, which join at the far end to form a plug foot.
2. The prior art
Expanding masonry attachment plugs of a conventional type are so constructed that on insertion of the screw by twisting into the central guide hole of the shank the expanding segments, starting at the plug foot, expand or spread out and under the expanding pressure of the conically shaped wood screw come to lie against the wall of the hole made for the plug. In this classical form of expanding plug the expanding elements are only held together by means of narrow connecting pieces of the plug foot, the connecting pieces being intended to prevent a premature divergence of the segments on hammering the plug into a plug hole and consequent prodding against the wall of the hole. This prior art is represented for example by the British patent specification No. 589,648 and the Swiss patent specification No. 212.
In addition to these expanding masonry attachment plugs expanding plugs have recently been proposed in the case of which the expansion or spreading out of the segments is not brought about internally by driving home the screw with a screw driver and instead such an expansion is brought about by an axial stressing of the shank by screwing the screw into a nut arranged at the foot of the plug, the screw which is being driven home cutting its own female thread in a closed sleeve at the foot of the plug.
Masonry attachment plugs of the last-mentioned type have been proposed owing to the use on an increasing scale of constructional materials which have a low resistance or strength. Such materials include more particularly gas concrete, pumice-like materials or hollow building blocks. In the case of the use of conventional expanding masonry attachment plugs in such light-weight building blocks the high radial expanding forces cause a collapse of the cells adjacent to the wall of the hole so that there is no sufficiently high resistance opposing the expanding forces and secure attachment becomes impossible. The bending effect of the latter-mentioned type of expanding plug however leads to a very substantial expansion outwards and even in the case of spreading out within a cavity it is possible to ensure that the attachment cannot be pulled out again, because the bent expanding connecting pieces form an abutment, which catches behind the hole and acts as a source of blind rivet.
Masonry attachment plugs of the latter-mentioned type are described for example by the German Gebrauchsmuster Specification Nos. 1,860,318 and 1,935,793, the Swiss patent specification No. 486,644, the French patent specification No. 1,278,641 and the German patent specification (Offenlegungsschrift) No. 2,060,241.
However, such masonry attachment plugs operating with an axial clamping or stressing effect are not suitable for work in concrete and other solid or dense constructional materials because the radial spreading force can only be relatively small as a consequence of the axial stressing taking place in a hole properly dimensioned to suit the plug, for this force must be transmitted by the expanding elements themselves, which surround the screw which has been placed in position, in the manner of a bridge. Furthermore, in the case of an excessively pronounced axial stressing a destruction of the screw thread in the plug foot is to be feared.
One aim of the invention is therefore that of providing an expanding masonry attachment plug, which is suitable both for use in dense concrete and other dense building materials, and also in gas concrete, hollow building blocks and other light weight building materials including the connection of boards or plates, so as to have a univeral application.
The present invention consists in an expanding masonry attachment plug, preferably of plastics material, whose plug head has a wide insertion hole and whose shank, provided with a through hole, is divided by longitudinal slits or slots into expanding segments, which join at the far end to form a plug foot, characterised in that to enable use of the plug both in dense masonry material (concrete) and also in light weight building materials (gas concrete) the plug has the combination of the following features:
a. internally the expanding segments delimit a guide hole adapted to bring about expansion, with a diameter which is less than the diameter of the appropriate screw, and
b. the plug foot consists of a closed sleeve adapted to bring about a bending outwards of the expanding segments by axial compression or clamping of the shank, with a through hole for the cutting of a tension thread on complete driving of the screw into position.
The plug constructed in such a manner adapts itself automatically to the circumstances obtaining so that the user does not have to undertake preliminary investigations as regards the material of which the wall is made and into which he has bored the plug hole. If it is a question of a wall consisting of dense concrete, there is a transmission over a large area of the expanding forces to the wall of the hole as soon as the screw has come into position in the guide hole of the shank, that is to say before it has been screwed into the plug foot so that even in the case of the use by mistake of a shorter screw sufficient purchase is obtained on the dense concrete. A screw with the correct dimensions, which is screwed into the plug foot, provides for a still higher pulling or tension force owing to the additional compression or upsetting of the plug shank which occurs as a result.
In the case of a plug hole brought in gas concrete or similar masonry the expansion brought about by twisting the screw into the guide hole alone cannot in itself ensure the necessary purchase being obtained, something which is made noticeable by the fact that it is relatively easy to go on turning the screw. On this further twisting or driving of the screw the latter then cuts a female thread in the plug foot and when the resistance is so large that the screw cannot be turned any further by hand one can at the same time be sure that the expanding segments have been bent outwards and that the plug has been reliably fixed in position. In extreme cases the axial stress can lead to the plug foot being drawn up as far as the closed sleeve head part. This is for example also the case when the plug is used in a hollow building block or when bored is fixed or attachment is carried out in a hollow ceiling.
Further features will be found in the subordinate claims.
In order to provide a further security against being twisted out of position or to provide a locking action it is possible to provide annular ribs or axially extending ribs respectively on the plug casing in accordance with a further embodiment of the invention.
In what follows embodiments of the invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
FIG. 1 shows a side view of a univeral masonry attachment plug constructed in accordance with the invention.
FIG. 2 shows a view looking in the direction of the axis of the plug in accordance with FIG. 1.
FIG. 3 shows a section on the line III--III of FIG. 2.
FIG. 4 shows in perspective a somewhat modified embodiment of a universal attachment plug constructed in accordance with the invention.
FIG. 5 is a sectional view of a plug of the embodiment in accordance with FIG. 4 after being placed in a plug hole in dense concrete and caused to expand.
FIG. 6 shows the plug in accordance with FIG. 4 inserted into a foam or gas concrete wall.
FIG. 7 shows a plug in accordance with FIG. 4 after expansion serving for attachment in a ceiling.
The plug in accordance with FIG. 1 comprises an external sleeve head 10, a central shank 20, and an inner foot 30. The wide cylindrical inner hole 11 of the sleeve head 10 is so dimensioned that on insertion of a matching screw into this head section no spreading or expanding effect is obtained. The shank 20 has a cylindrical guide hole 21, which in the upper part widens out in a conical section 20 towards the inner hole 11 of the head. On the slightly conically constructed external casing of the sleeve head 10 three axially extending ribs 13 with an even anguler spacing are arranged, whose height increases towards the outside. The shank is provided with three slits or slots 20 which run axially and have the same angular spacing between them. These slits form three expanding segments. Continuing these slits on the inner casing of the sleeve head 10 internal axial grooves 14 are constructed. The expanding segments of the shank 20 are provided with four annular ribs 22 having a saw-tooth section and arranged with an even axial spacing. The foot 30 consists of a closed sleeve and has, as compared with the hole 21 of the shank, a somewhat enlarged cylindrical hole 31 and is arranged to have a somewhat greater external diameter than the shank. This plug foot serves for the cutting of a screw thread by the screw which is to be screwed into the plug.
The hole 11 of the sleeve head is so constructed that on the insertion of a matching screw no expanding action occurs in order to prevent, for example, chipping off of wall plaster.
The driving home of the screw by twisting through the conical section 12 into the guide hole 21 involves the expansion of the three expanding segments of the shank 20 in an outward direction. In hard masonry, for example in dense concrete, this radial spreading or expanding force produces a satisfactory retaining action with a high resistance to tension load. The expansion is only carried out via the shank part 20, while on driving home the screw by twisting into the plug 30 no expansion can occur at the latter position, because the foot is made so thick that breaking is not to be feared. Therefore, the screw cuts its screw thread into the hole 31 so that the plug foot 30 acts as a screw nut, which is prevented from turning by axially running ribs 32. If the screw head is axially fixed at the outer plug end or the article to be fixed, further rotation of the screw in the female thread cut by it in the foot 30 will bring about an axial stressing in the shank part of the plug so that in porous masonry or in cavities the individual expanding segments will expand further or can even be bent outwards.
The plug in accordance with FIG. 4 again has an external sleeve head 10, a central shank part 20, and an inner foot 30. In addition to the axially extending ribs 13 of the sleeve head 10 the plug in accordance with FIG. 4 has in the shank section axially running ribs 24 which taper in an inward direction and merge with the shank. These ribs 24 are set in the direction of rotation of the screw when the latter is driven home in order to ensure a positive supporting action in the drilled hole. The ribs 13 are alined with the slots or slits 22 of the shank 20 while the ribs 24 are arranged respectively between two slits 22 so as to be offset in the peripheral direction with respect to the ribs 13.
The plug foot 30 consists in the case of the embodiment in accordance with FIG. 4 of a conically extending sleeve so that the end of the plug is pointed, something which facilitates hammering the plug into a hole in the wall.
The cutting of the screw into the solid conical sleeve of the plug foot is facilitated because the hole 31 in the plug foot has three axial grooves 33 which are arranged with an constant angular spacing and have such a depth that while facilitating cutting of the thread there is no possibility of splitting open of the sleeve.
The slits 22 between the expanding segments of the shank are bridged over by two central annular ribs 25 so that a premature expansion is prevented when the plug is hammered into its receiving hole. The remaining ribs 26 extend respectively only over the expanding segments and leave the respective slit free.
FIG. 5 indicates that an expansion in the plug hole in the dense concrete wall will already have taken place before the tip of the screw is driven by twisting into the plug foot.
FIG. 6 shows how by pulling on the nut formed by the plug foot the expanding segements are pressed into the porous light concrete and are held against being drawn out.
FIG. 7 finally shows the attachment of a board such as plaster board, in the case of which the plug foot sleeve 30 is drawn down practically as far as the sleeve head 10 and the expanding segments are spread out over a wide area. In this respect it is a question of attaching plaster board to form a ceiling.

Placed-stripe leather clutch
Placed-stripe leather clutch is rated out of 5 by 1.
Rated 3 out of 5 by Joisey from Strap Too Short I had my eye on this purse for several weeks and finally pulled the trigger. I wanted to love it, I had a similar bag that I wore until it fell apart because the colors are so versatile for the summer. Alas, the strap is too short which makes this bag feel awkward and gapes if you don't constantly have it snapped. The snap is also clunky so it gets annoying to continually open and close. I packed it for vacay before opening so I'm keeping it, but I wish it had a better design.

I'm not willing to bet on plugin architecture or that Firefox won't solve their video encoder issues sometime soon. And I am not willing to ride on the coat tails o the gaming industry either. Have you seen the hits Zynga is taking on their stock? Games are a dime a dozen and so are the platforms to make them. I don't see a viable long term future for the Flash Player plugin in such a competitive field. -Omar On Saturday, November 17, 2012, Hordur Thordarson wrote: > Yeah well Firefox is in a hole re the Flash plugin because they need it > for video playback (H264) which btw is driving a lot of web usage these > days. > > I haven't been following the dev of the Chrome pepper stuff so I can't > comment on that.

The importance of health care and the successful implementation of services in acute conflict situations, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa have been and still are highly controversial, complex, and contentious issues. Broad historical accounts providing support for health care abound, as well as a plethora of opinions and ideas about how such activities are planned and implemented. The concept of Primary Health Care (PHC) and Emergency Medical Assistance (EMA) and their respective implementations are the subject of discussions on numerous websites and health guidelines of national and international authorities. The problem is that neither approach fully explains whether or not they are different or complement each other. Using acute conflict situations in sub-Saharan Africa, this study aims to clarify the relationship between PHC and EMA and provide a comparison of the tools required for their implementations. In particular, it attempts to give a clearer idea of the conditions necessary for the implementation of PHC and EMA.

Good food not great. Will probably go back. Salad that came with lasagna was rather small and tasted like it was made early in the day. The sausage pasta was tasty, I would recommend it. The wobbly table was annoying. Service was polite and friendly.
I went in for lunch - it was great!

I ate lunch here yesterday. Wow, you will not be disappointed in the food. Probably the best deal in the Powell, Westerville or Polaris area of Columbus OH. If you like Stromboli this is the place to go! They also are using RevLocal as their local marketing agent and they have some cool social media things to play around with like checking into Carfagna's Google Place page.

I love the idea of this product, simple and easy way to get an iPad in your dash. There's a few things I have a problem with though:
1) They should've included a DIN mounting cage solution for more flexible mounting options. Not every vehicle has brackets you can screw onto something.
2) The glossy finish doesn't blend well with many factory interiors, should've gone with a more matte textured finish.
3) I feel like it would've been easy enough to include a DAC built into this product instead of you relying on using wireless audio. Or at least a USB pass through to be able to use your own DAC such as an HRT iStreamer.
Other than these issues I really like the product, I don't plan on keeping my current vehicle too much longer so this was an affordable option to use an iPad as a source unit.

What our Customers Say about our Service
"My son, Lewis and his beautiful bride, Zulema, received the basket just before their wedding ceremony. They were thrilled with it Smile. As they had chosen an intimate occasion with just the two of them - on the other side of the planet - this gesture meant so much to me and my husband. I would certainly recommend your services - especially to the discerning customer, as your reassurance and ease of ordering, coupled with the great follow-up service, gives peace of mind Smile. Thank you, again."
Tina W. - Auckland, New Zealand - Sep 15, 2015
"Mike called me today, all emotional and showed me the basket over Skype. He just returned from his business trip in NYC and found the gift at his door steps! I selected the exact gift he wanted, he is happy as a kid. Thank you!"
Irina - Moscow, Russia - Mar 13, 2013
"I requested a basket that contained a wine bottle to be delivered in Norway. It is the first shop that could do it, and my boyfriend received a very good Spanish wine from La Rioja. The shop did all its best to contact a local shop in Norway in order to fulfill my wishes, since Norway has alcoholic restrictions. Since the very beginning of my order the shop kept me informed by phone about the order, and I live in Spain! My boyfriend received the package with chocolates and a rose, on time and he was really suprised and very touched. Thank you Gift Baskets Overseas to help me to make happy a person. "
Liliana - Barcelona, Spain - Mar 22, 2010
"Thank you SO very much for making and delivering a beautiful basket! My parents were so pleasantly surprised and my mom was so thankful for her birthday present! I will highly recommend your company to everyone I know!"

I've been an avid HTC user for the past few years and probably used more HTC smartphones than any other smartphone brands, the HTC 10 is the eighth HTC smartphone I've used till date, this new flagship is the next most iconic smartphone that the company has ever released since the original HTC One, there may still be a familiar HTC design language, but what has truly changed this round lies under the hood. After a month with the HTC 10, its time to conclude how well the phone has fared as my daily driver.
HTC 10 Hardware Specifications
Processor: Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 Quad-Core 2.15GHz
RAM/Memory: 4GB/32GB (expandable via MicroSD)
Display: 5.2" Quad HD Super LCD 5 with Corning Gorilla Glass 4
Camera: 12-megapixel 1.55µm f/1.8 1/2.3" sensor (Main)/5-megapixel f/1.8 23mm
Connectivity: WiFi 802.11ac/Bluetooth 4.2 with aptX
Networks: 4G LTE Cat 9/DC-HSPA+
Battery: 3000mAh
Design and Hardware
When HTC released an ad saying that they are obsessed with their new flagship, they do tend to set everyone's expectations high on their new flagship. Fortunately, the HTC 10 is an attractive looking device, not only it sports an entirely new front face, the metal unibody chassis now features an unusual thick chamfer that gives it a three dimensional feel, it almost feels that you are buying a piece of art rather than a smartphone. With the thick chamfer and curved back, this phone has the best ergonomics when it comes to using single-handedly, it is also less slippery than other metal smartphones I've used.
The volume rocker and power button is well positioned for my thumb's reach and you will actually find it OK to use the phone with either hands. The HTC 10 has separate slots for the SIM and Micro SD card, unlike last year's One M9 Plus, the phone doesn't have dual SIM support, that's really unfortunate considering most flagships sold here are supporting dual SIM as a standard feature. Furthermore, the HTC 10's solid build isn't IP-certified water and dust resistant, so please always remind yourself about that.
One of the things that you might have to start getting used to HTC phones is the Samsung-like home button which also serves as a fingerprint scanner, for one I like it to be a capacitive one so that I can unlock the phone with my finger without pressing it, I was always confused at times with the Back and Multitasking capacitive buttons in the beginning, while I wished HTC could have an option for me to swap them, I get used to it after some time.
Sound has always been HTC's emphasis on every flagships since the One M7, the HTC 10 continues to deliver beautiful sound from its new Hi-Fi edition BoomSound speakers, I'm actually impressed with how HTC has still managed to cramp in two impressive loudspeakers with each of them having a teeter and subwoofer respectively, you find the soundstage to be different from the company's front firing BoomSound speakers, but listening music on the phone's loudspeakers is still very satisfying and better than any smartphones I've used this year. Also, I highly recommend that you try out the earphones provided in the package on the phone as it sounds gorgeous.
User Experience
Every time HTC releases a new flagship smartphone, I tend to get really excited about the phone's software because it simply offers one of the most useful and snappiest experience out there. This round, HTC has taken a step further in removing its own proprietary system apps and uses Google's solution, things such as Gallery has been replaced with Google Photos, Music is being replaced by Google Play Music and my once favourite HTC Calendar app has been replaced by Google Calendar. While I still miss those old HTC apps, they made a lot of sense in making this change as Google's solution no longer feels shabby to make you want to use 3rd party solutions, which is why the user experience on the HTC 10 is so snappy despite having the usual HTC Sense usability that I have got used to.
Even though the HTC 10's software is really nice, it is beginning to feel rather dated and there's nothing to be excited about, to be fair you get a new Freestyle home screen where you can customise stickers to launch an app or perform an action, but sadly you will not be able to add any widgets on to it. Since HTC has begin to introduce fingerprint as a security feature on its flagship, there is no way that you can lock files stored on the phone and launch apps with a specific finger, it gives me no additional reason to use the hardware apart from unlocking the device, in fact the old HTC One Max has a more useful fingerprint scanner despite having poor hardware.
HTC hasn't really been able to snap on a decent camera for its smartphones over the past few years, the HTC 10 has an all new Ultrapixel camera that finally takes higher resolution 12-megapixel stills with a huge 1.55 micron pixel and a f/1.8 aperture, there's also OIS, phase detection and laser autofocus, this is the best camera that HTC has ever installed on a smartphone, while it is still no match for the Galaxy S7 in low light, the camera still manage to produce very minimal noise levels in pictures, color reproduction is accurate without looking to saturated as well.
Apart from that, the phone sports excellent video recording capability with great stabilisation and audio recording, don't ever underestimate the front facing Ultraselfie camera though, it may only take 5-megapixel stills but its large f/1.8 aperture and OIS will ensure that videos look just as good as the main camera.
Benchmark, Battery Life and Network Quality
The HTC 10 produces impressive benchmark results and is easily one of the most powerful Android flagships out there, all thanks to the Snapdragon 820 SoC and Adreno 530 GPU, the phone should literally handle any resource demanding apps and games without much effort. Even though HTC claims that phone's battery is able to deliver two days of juice, that will never ever happen even on an extremely lightweight usage, but the good news here is that it will still last you more than a day on a 2-3 hours on screen time.
The HTC 10 is the best smartphone that I've seen from HTC since the One M7, from hardware design to user experience, the phone has got almost everything covered which I've expected it to be a decent flagship. However, there's just one bad thing about it - Price, the HTC 10 is now priced at RM2799, up RM100 from its original price tag, it makes it a less attractive purchase considering that you could purchase the Galaxy S7 for around the same price, or go for lower priced alternatives like the OnePlus 3 and Xiaomi Mi 5 which also features the similar set of performance hardware. If you are looking for a smartphone with a decent user experience, great audio playback quality and premium design, look no further from the HTC 10.
The Good
- Snappy user experience
- Good camera performance with superb stabilization
- Unrivalled audio listening quality
- Solid build quality
- Acceptable battery life
- Beautiful high resolution display
The Not so Good
- BoomSound speakers soundstage not as good as predecessor
- Slightly heavier than other flagships
- Unattractive price tag
- No IR blaster
- No water and dust resistant

Setting off alarm bells and fears that the product is being targeted at a younger demographic, law enforcement officials in California's Yolo County say that a new type of cocaine is making its way into the U.S.—flavored cocaine.
On the heels of the largest U.S. seizure of the new cocaine, Yolo County law enforcement officials cite that the supposedly pure, synthetically flavored and scented cocaine is already starting to enter California. The substance is believed to be manufactured in Mexico.
Roy Giorgi, the Yolo Narcotic Enforcement Team's (YONET) commander, says the product--which is available in chocolate, vanilla, banana, coconut, and strawberry--is most likely being marketed to younger adults and teenagers, as is the case with flavored ecstasy pills and crystal meth.
"Scenting and flavoring cocaine is alarming to law enforcement," Giorgi says. "The public's going to start seeing more seizures of (it)."
Giorgi cites the price of the drug as particularly worrisome. During the sting operation, agents paid $72,000, or $24,000 per kilogram. A kilogram of pure normal cocaine from the same distributor cost about $16,000.
The Daily Democrat also reports that if the flavored version is as pure as normal cocaine, it means labs south of the border have figured a way to add flavor while maintaining the product's purity–-which has been attempted in the past and yet never achieved.
Samples of the drug confiscated during the seizure are being analyzed to determine its quality. Currently, law enforcement officials are unable to determine how the drug is manufactured.

Like an allegory of life itself, Au Pays des oiseaux fleurs tells of the interconnections between fauna and flora. The delicate drawing transports us to a dreamlike land of trees, flowers and birds, mingling in rich profusion. No two trees are the same, each unfurls scrolling arabesques, decorative forms and flowers, an open invitation to the multicoloured birds snapping twigs to build their nests among the branches, feeding on blossoms, transporting fertile seeds and pollens. Plants and animals blend and blur in this composition celebrating the extraordinary richness of life on Earth – the intelligence, beauty and power of nature. No single thing can thrive, it seems to say, without all the rest.

Snakes - The Distinction Between Non-Venomous and Poisonous and How to Prevent ThemPosted by Administrator • Friday, November 4. 2016 • Category: Snake
In areas where poisonous snakes are known to visit gardens, three approaches are commonly adopted by the homeowner. One is to be so frightened of the thought of such creatures lurking in the undergrowth that the outdoor space is paved over instead of being turned into a garden. A second approach, by far the more common, is to be unaware or to ignore the potential danger and to pretend it does not exist. The third and best option is to continue to use the garden without fear and trepidation, but to take one particular step that for all practical purposes, removes all possibility of venomous snakes threatening the safety of those who use the garden.
, if you come across a venomous snake in the garden the very first thing to do is to get everybody away from it.. If you in fact do need to eliminate it, do this with a long handled, broad edged hoe just chopping the snake in half as formerly stated. Other methods consist of spraying it from a distance with a high pressure pipe or opening the garden sprinklers. This will have the effect of 'convincing' the snake to leave the location.
One is their propensity to dig up a section of a garden bed for toilet purposes. In any case, at worst, the damage cats inflict on a garden can not be remotely compared to the devastation that dogs are liable to inflict.
Snake Trapping with Minnow Traps
Once again, the only way to get rid of snakes is to catch them and physically eliminate them from your property and the only method to keep them away is to remove a snake-friendly environment.
The thing to do after that is to discover out why the snake came to your area. Snakes, however, like rats and mice and other small rodents. Remember, No mice, No snakes.

Government Reports Show U.S. Border Security Data Not Reliable
Does anyone believe anything the government tells them anymore?
Check it out:
Despite Washington spending billions of taxpayer dollars on efforts to secure the U.S.-Mexico border, two internal government reports reveal there is no clear way of gauging whether any of it is actually working.
Backing up reporting from Fox News earlier this year, the reports from the Government Accountability Office and the Congressional Research Service show the Department of Homeland Security lacks an accurate barometer to measure the success of ramped-up efforts to curtail illegal crossings.
The DHS and the Obama administration typically tout the number of apprehensions of people coming in illegally as their gauge for success. But those numbers, analysts warn, are open to interpretation and don't necessarily show whether an increase or decrease is due to immigration trends, economic shifts, enforcement policies or all of the above.
"Apprehensions data are imperfect indicators of illegal flows because they exclude two important groups when it comes to unauthorized migration: aliens who successfully enter and remain in the United States … and aliens who are deterred from entering the United States," Marc Rosenblum, immigration policy specialist at CRS, wrote in his May report. "Thus, analysts do not know if a decline in apprehensions is an indicator of successful enforcement, because fewer people are attempting to enter, or of enforcement failures, because more of them are succeeding."

I NCORPORATING Q UOTATIONS II This quick PowerPoint focuses on the various ways to introduce your sources/ direct quotations, paraphrases, and summaries, an important element to integrating/incorporating quotes smoothly throughout your research paper.
B ODY P ARAGRAPH C HECKLIST : This should be a Microsoft Word Document Font: 12pt Times New Roman (Always ask your professor for his or her preferred font) Spacing: Double Are your sources credible? Do you have a clear topic sentence? After your topic sentence, do you clearly state your main point or claim? Does your claim support your topic sentence or thesis? Does your evidence support your claim, topic sentence, and thesis statement? Have you properly incorporated/integrated your direct quotation, paraphrase, or summary? After your evidence, did you provide a sentence or so explaining, in your own words, what the evidence means, so your reader can understand it within the context of your paper? Did you check your MLA Formatting? Still need help? Follow Along!
W HY IS IT IMPORTANT TO SMOOTHLY INTRODUCE / INCORPORATE / INTEGRATE QUOTATIONS, PARAPHRASES, OR SUMMARIES ? It establishes your credibility as a writer. It allows the reader to know that you are using someone else's words by giving credit to them. It is a smooth way to transition or introduce a source's ideas that you have borrowed. Avoids plagiarism It is a great way to allow your paper, especially your body paragraphs, to flow smoothly, making it easier to read. By using various signal words, listed on the next slide, it helps vary your sentences throughout your paper. What are some ways we can do this? Signal Words!
S IGNAL W ORDS : HELP VARY YOUR SENTENCES WHEN INTRODUCING / INCORPORATING / INTEGRATING QUOTATIONS AND INDICATE WHOM YOU ARE QUOTING : Acknowledges Adds Admits Argues Asks Asserts Charges Claims Clarifies Comments Complains Concedes Concludes Considers Contends Denies Describes Emphasizes Explains Expresses Finds Holds Implies Insists Interprets Maintains Notes Observes Points Out Proposes Proves Refutes Remarks Reports Responds Shows Speculates States Suggests Warns
E XAMPLES U SING S IGNAL P HRASES AND D IRECT Q UOTATIONS WITH E XPLANATIONS : When you mention a source for the first time in a paper, it's important to clarify for the reader who that person, but it is also equally as important to reiterate who is speaking throughout your paper. Here's how: Example: As the world-famous scholar X explains it, "________." Explanation: By using the words, "the world-famous scholar," and adding a specific name that briefly explains who the person speaking is, this avoids plagiarism while adding credibility to your work. By using the signal word, "explains it," in your introduction, it gives credit to the person speaking.
M ORE E XAMPLES … Let's get more specific… Example: As Morgenstern remarks, "Joe Glaser…proved to be the right man right man at the right time" (128). Why can't we just place the quote, "Joe Glaser…proved to be the right man at the right time" (128), right into the body paragraph? Explanation: We cannot just place a quote into a sentence and treat it as its own separate sentence. Why? It cannot stand alone because the quote will not be properly integrated and simply just plopped within the text without a given purpose to the reader as to why you are using it. It also can get lost within your body paragraph and lose its meaning. Furthermore, you could run into possibly plagiarizing by not letting the reader know who said the quote. We are not signaling to the reader that we are about to present them with specific evidence that supports a specific point we made in our paper. For this example, notice, the key words here are "Morgenstern remarks." By mentioning the author's name and the signal word, "remarks," it not only gives credit to that person, but it introduces the quote, allowing it to be smoothly integrated. Here, we do have a parenthetical citation in MLA Format with only the page number because the author's name is already mentioned. We also have quotation marks because this is a direct quotation.
Don't forget to clarify, in your own words, in a sentence or so after the quote, what the quote means. This is important because it allows your reader to understand what your interpretation of the quote is within the context of your paper, and how the quote supports your claim, and above all else, your thesis statement. Example of How to Start a Sentence that will Clarify the Meaning of the Quote: Example: The basis of X's argument is that ___________. Is what? Explain for the reader, in your own words, what your interpretation of the quote you chose is. What is the author trying to say? How does it support your claim and your thesis statement?
E XAMPLE OF H OW TO P ARAPHRASE A Q UOTE : Example of a Paraphrasing a Quotation: Example: As Bergreen points out, Armstrong easily reached difficult high notes, the F's and G's that stymied other trumpeters (248). Explanation: Notice how there are no quotation marks around this phrase because it is not a direct quotation, rather, a paraphrase. The author's name, "Bergreen," is mentioned for credit, and the signal phrase, "points out," also identifies Bergreen as the source of the paraphrased information about his opinion on Louis Armstrong's techniques. The parenthetical citation used indicates the page number of the text in MLA Format.

Get Stylish for Summer with Bonobos
As the heat of summer moves through the streets of Dallas, we wanted to help keep the gentlemen of this city both cool and classy. So we've teamed up with the newest storefront in town, Bonobos, to offer Uber riders a stylish deal that is too good to pass up – a FREE pair of Bonobos Washed Chinos! 🙂
Beginning Monday, June 9th – Sunday, June 15th Uber riders in Dallas will have the opportunity to win a stylish pair of trousers by entering the unique code 'UberBonobosDal' and then riding 3 times before the end of the week…it's that simple! Just enter the code, then ride three times, and you've got yourself some chic Chinos, which could make the perfect Father's Day gift might we add, compliments of our friends at Bonobos. Here are the dapper details…
- Beginning Monday, June 9th – Pop-open the app (or signup here), tap 'Promotions', and enter code UberBonobosDal (you only need to enter the code one time and will see a confirmation screen when entered correctly).
- After applying the code, ride three times in Dallas in any vehicle type (uberX, UberBLACK or UberSUV) between Monday, June 9th and Sunday, June 15th.
- If you are among the first 500 to complete your three rides before Sunday, June 15th, you will receive a private code for a pair of FREE washed Chinos from Bonobos. Private codes will be sent out to qualified users on June 16th.
- Brave the Dallas heat and use your private code to redeem your Washed Bonobos Chinos at the Dallas Guideshop prior to 7/15/2014.

This offer must be redeemed at the Bonobos Dallas Guideshop location by July 15th, 2014 and will only be given to users who have applied the code and taken three rides in Dallas before Sunday.
Have a pal or dad without Uber that could use a style update? If they have yet to take their first ride, tell them to sign up HERE or enter the promo code BonobosDallas for $20 off their first ride! Just make sure they also enter the code UberBonobosDal before riding to get their own pair of the infamous Bonobos washed chinos.

We take pride in the quality of our service.
About Deutsche Schule of Corvallis:
Our non-profit language immersion program "Deutsche Schule Corvallis" is an educational program focusing on introducing German language and culture to children, youth and adults in the Corvallis, Oregon area.
Our Mission:
Our mission is support the multilingual development of us and of our children. We look for ways to nurture German language learning and cultural exploration for children and their families and provide various opportunities for beginning to native speakers and for the community to learn, enjoy and to network.
We started this idea in 2012, and in November 2015 we became an independent, small non-profit organization with one weekly afternoon program and bi-weekly cultural activities on Saturdays for children aged 3+ and also for adults. In the academic year, we organized a German Christmas concert and hosted a German theater for children in the Spring and were able to offer a German course at the Corvallis Waldorf School. In June, we organized our first summer camp - a week long event that we hope to offer again during the June 2017 - in the first week of summer vacation. Stay tuned :)
Mowing Forward:
Today, we teach German in two locations in Corvallis and support additional cultural activities and various events. This year, we plan the first German camp in Corvallis during the week of June 20-24, 2016. We will also participate in the DaVinci Days this July 16-17! Look for our activity stand or contact us to help.
Starting the Fall 2016, we also offer courses on Thursdays, Fridays and Sundays. New in the Fall 2016 are:
Parent-Child class for 3 years old children learning songs, rhymes and first German words with their parents, and our adult beginning A and B classes.
For more information please do not hesitate to contact us by e-mail, phone or in person.

The code is fast enough, but it could be good to prevent those calls if is not really necessary. > Checking this stuff I had an idea about how to prevent those calls. The idea is call FactoryFinder.getFactory() in the factory itself, and then pass the factory as a param for the object that uses it (FacesContext or PartialViewContext or whatever). Also, we can replace VisitContext.createVisitContext with calling the factory and then getVisitContext() directly (note createVisitContext is an static method thought for users). Additionally, add some volatile variables in some places to prevent multiple initializations is a good idea too. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.

Tiny House Living: Ideas For Building and Living Well In Less than 400 Square Feet
You Don't Need a Mansion to Live a Happy Life
Short Bus Retro... Love Love This Conversion...
If you love tiny houses, then you really need to have a good, long look at this photo gallery over at the West Coast Homes website. Really, can you believe it? This stunning interior belongs to a four hundred square foot tiny home that looks even better from the outside!
If you're anything like us, you simply adore anything and everything to do with tiny houses, especially photo galleries. This gorgeous little home has just about everything you would find in a larger one – and much more. Imagine staying in this sweet, diminutive home, complete with a gorgeous view of the lake it resides on. Where exactly is it and how can we access it? Well, read on to find out!
This is actually a model home called the "San Juan Park". It was built in 2014 by Mark Ouellett and it was especially crafted for the Wildwood Lakefront Cottages Resort. The Resort is located at Whatcom Lake in beautiful Washington State – just thirty-five miles from British Columbia's Lower Mainland and ninety miles north of Seattle, Washington. So, if you live in Vancouver, BC or Seattle, Washington, this is one area you might want to check out for a vacation home.
As we mentioned earlier, this lovely little cottage is only four hundred square feet, but what you didn't know is that it includes an additional 200 square foot loft space. We just love sleeping lofts and this one is extremely cozy. It is big enough for two rooms – a wondrously comfortable bedroom and a playroom for the kids. And by the way, the play area also overlooks the living room and kitchen below – so you can easily keep an eye on the youngsters as they play.
The San Juan Cottage also has a few really ingenious flexibility options! One of the downstairs rooms can easily be converted into a bedroom or a dining room, depending on what your needs are. Need room for one or two more to sleep? Then pull down the queen-sized Murphy bed and you're all set for the night. Need a table to eat your breakfast at? Then put away the bed and pull down the adorable little bistro table and you're ready for breakie, coffee, and a little newspaper reading. Need room to do your early morning yoga, meditation, or jumping jacks in? Then put away the table and the bed and you've got an empty room to do whatever your heart desires. How's that for versatility?
There's a main bedroom downstairs in the back of the cottage – a perfect spot for mom and pop! There are ample windows in this little cottage, allowing for maximum light, and let's please not forget the gorgeous lake views outside. And speaking of which, let's step outside for a second, shall we?! The living area opens right up onto a sweet deck overlooking the lake. A second deck on the side of the cottage makes for a perfect barbecue and outdoor dining area. There's even a ramp for easy wheelchair access in case you or your loved one needs it – this is a place for everyone to enjoy!
Back inside, you'll be happy to discover there's a delightful little rest room with a toilet, sink, and shower. And if you want to hang out in the living room area on a rainy day or cool evening, then you can sink back into the comfy couch and watch a few shows on the flat screen TV, feeling the warmth of the fireplace.
And on those really hot days, you can literally go and jump in the lake and take the whole family with you! This is a wonderful place for a family vacation, weekend getaway, or why not just move in all year long?

Regulation in 2017: New Day, Same Concerns
Between Mifid II and talks of dismantling Dodd–Frank, it might seem like a volatile period ... but when it comes to tech, how much has really changed?
Last week, between Waters magazine and Inside Data Management magazine, we published four features amounting to over 10,000 words describing some of the many challenges presented by Europe's Mifid II mandate. Meanwhile, in the US, this week saw President Donald Trump say that his administration was "going to be doing a big number on Dodd–Frank" as he signed an executive order telling department heads that for every new regulation they issue, they have to strike down two regs that are cu
