International ClassesB62M 001/14B60B 023/04 DescriptionTECHNICAL FIELD This invention relates to a shifting mechanism and quick release mechanism for a manual multispeed wheelchair for ease of shifting and retrofitability of an existing manual wheelchair with a new wheel having a multispeed hub. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION There are two basic types of wheelchairs, motorized and manual driven. Manual wheelchairs have been well known for many years. Motorized wheelchairs provide the user with more mobility, especially if the user's arm muscles are too weak to drive the wheelchair in a manual mode. The most significant drawbacks of the motorized wheelchair are its weight and lack of portability. Someone who wants to travel with their motorized wheelchair needs a specially designed van and ramp system or lift system to get the motorized wheelchair into the vehicle. In addition, the motorized wheelchair needs a power source, such as a battery which is costly and adds logistic issues of recharging. Due to the above-cited drawbacks, many individuals opt for a manual wheelchair. The manual wheelchair is lighter and is also less expensive. Another advantage is that a manual wheelchair can be folded, adding to its portability. Individuals who have some type of disability or injury, often still can drive by getting into their car, folding their wheelchair and putting it in their car. The most significant drawback of a manual wheelchair is that it is not easy to use on ramps or steep inclines. A wheelchair with a speed reducer gearing mechanism would aid this problem. U.S. Pat. No. 3,563,568, issued Feb. 16, 1971, to Reuben V. Sasse et al., shows a variable ratio rotary drive mechanism for a wheelchair and provides a basic two-speed wheelchair. At present, there is a need for an improved and simplified mechanism for shifting such a multispeed wheelchair. The mechanism needs to be close to the user's hand so that it can be shifted with ease. Additionally, it would be desirable to have the ability to easily convert an existing wheelchair into a multispeed chair. This would minimize conversion costs because there would be no need to replace the entire wheelchair frame. Active wheelchair users may find the need in running errands to take the wheels off of their wheelchair several times in one day. Many wheelchair users find it particularly convenient to have quick release, easily removable wheels. This allows more compact transport and storage of the wheelchair. When using a multispeed hub, it is necessary to transfer torque to the wheelchair frame when in a gear reduction mode. Being able to positively transfer this torque as well as conveniently shift between multiple speeds presents unique challenges if the wheel is to remain quickly releasable and retrofitable to existing wheelchairs without modification. The present inventors believe that these needs have not previously been addressed. DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION The present invention provides a manual multispeed wheelchair that is readily shifted between a direct drive mode and at least one lower gear mode. The lower gear mode is attained through a planetary gear system inside a tubular hub on which the assembly is mounted. A main axle extends through the hub and wheel assembly to the chair frame. A hand wheel is mounted on a hand wheel hub which is attached to a member that guides the shifting assembly to shift from direct drive to low drive. The shifting assembly includes a shift member including radially extending arms and a hollow hub and a coupling mechanism. The radially extending arms extend into openings between spaced-apart drive chocks inside the hub. The planetary gear system includes a sun gear having a complementary coupling mechanism. The sun gear rotating around the main axle mates with a plurality of offset planetary gears, which in turn drive an outer ring gear which is fixedly attached to the hub and axially spaced from the drive chocks. A shifting assembly, including a rotatable first member and an axially moving second member, moves the shift member from its first position to its second position for the low gear. In preferred form, the rotatable first member includes a tubular sleeve that has a helical slot. The axially moving second member includes a tubular shift carrier, which mounts inside the hollow hub of the shift member, moving the shift member back and forth along the main axle. The shift member has an opening that holds a retaining pin, which also fits into the helical slot and an elongated slot in the main axle. When the tubular sleeve is axially rotated, the shift pin moves from one end of the elongated slot to the other end, through the helical slot, to move the axially moving second member to the second position coupling the shift member and the sun gear. Another aspect of this invention includes the quick release mechanism which disconnects or connects the wheel assembly to the wheelchair through its hub. When in connected position, torque is transferred directly from the hub to the chair frame via a torque collar, which has a noncircular cavity that mates with a corresponding noncircular elongated member extending from the chair frame. Another aspect of the quick release mechanism includes at least one detent member, located inboard of the main axle having at least one opening at the inboard end of main axle, and a quick release shaft, having a detent at its inboard end, and is fully inserted inside the main axle. The detent member is retained by the opening at the inboard portion of the main axle. A release cap abuts the inboard end of the main axle and is adjacent to the detent member. The quick release shaft biases the detent member to extend radially into the opening in the main axle. In this position, the detent is engaged when the main axle is inserted into a hollow opening of the elongated circular member and the elongated circular member mates with the corresponding noncircular cavity of the torque collar. Axial movement of the main axle is blocked from the torque collar to the chair frame. In preferred form, the elongated noncircular member has two flat oppositely situated sides and the corresponding noncircular cavity also has two oppositely situated flat sides. In a disconnected position, the outboard end of the quick release shaft is depressed axially inboard. The detent portion of quick release shaft moves towards the release cap and the detent member drops into the detent of quick release shaft allowing axial movement of the main axle. The main axle then can easily slide off the chair frame. In another preferred form, a spring is inserted between the release cap and the inboard end of the quick release shaft to aid engaging or disengaging the detent member. An important advantage produced by the present invention is that the manual wheelchair includes an easy shifting mechanism that rotates axially at the user's fingertips to shift from a direct drive to a low gear for ramps and other inclines. Because the shifting mechanism is wholly included on the hub, there is no need to modify the wheelchair frame or to connect any part of the mechanism to the frame. Another advantage is the ease in disconnecting the wheelchair frame from the multispeed wheel assembly via a quick disconnect mechanism. This allows a user to take a manual multispeed wheelchair along with him or her in a car or to be able to make the wheelchair more compact by separating the wheels without tools. Also, existing manual wheelchairs can be easily retrofitted with wheels having a multispeed hub without the use of tools. These and other advantages and features will become apparent from a review of the following detailed description of the best mode for carrying out the invention, the drawing, and the claims, all which comprise the disclosure of the present invention are included herein by reference.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION FIG. 1 depicts a multispeed manual wheelchair 10 according to the present invention having a chair frame 12 and two oppositely mounted wheel assemblies 14. The chair seat is shown removed for clarity. Each wheel assembly 14 includes a tire 16, a rim 18, a plurality of spokes 20 and a hub 22 that houses a reduction assembly. Referring to FIG. 5, hub 22 has an inboard end 24, an outboard end 26 and an interior 28. The wheel 14 also includes a manually driven hand wheel assembly 30, including a hand wheel rim 32 (shown in FIG. 1) and a plurality of spokes 34, which are mounted on a hand wheel hub 36. The hand wheel assembly 30 is not attached directly to wheel assembly 14, which allows the hub 22 to rotate at a different speed than hand wheel hub 36. Referring again to FIG. 1, a main axle 38 having an inboard end 40 and an outboard end 42 extends through the hub 22 of each wheel assembly 14 to the chair frame 12. A gear reduction function allows wheelchair 10 to operate in a direct drive mode (1:1), or first position, where hand wheel hub 36 turns at the same speed as hub 22, and a lower gear mode, or second position, where wheel assembly 14 and hub 22 rotate at a slower speed than hand wheel assembly 30. A planetary gear system is used to achieve the lower gear mode. A unique feature of this invention is centered on the compact hub 22, which contains the elements for direct drive and a low gear planetary gear system. It should be noted that this invention could also be used for speed enhancing gearing, which could be used for racing. However, for readability, reference will be made to direct drive and a low gear. Referring to FIGS. 2 and 4, the first position is accomplished by having a plurality of drive chocks 44 mounted to the hub interior 28. Drive chocks 44 are spaced apart so as to form openings 46 between each drive chock. Drive chocks 44 are fixedly attached to hub interior 28 by a plurality of screws 48; however, other fastening means may be used such as welding or adhesives, or the drive chocks may be integrally molded with the hub or machined out of the hub. A plurality of radially extending arms 50 on a shift member 52 having a hollow hub 54 and a multi-jaw endwall 56 are adapted to fit within openings 46 between drive chocks 44. In preferred form, there are at least four radially extending arms 50; hence, there are at least four drive chock openings 46. However, four are shown for clarity. Referring to FIGS. 3 and 4, shift member 52 axially moves along main axle 38 into its second position (low gear). Low gear comprises a planetary gear assembly 58, mounted within interior 28 and spaced axially from drive chocks 44. Planetary gear assembly 58 includes a sun gear 60 having a multi-jaw endwall 62, and a planet cage 64, which is fixedly attached to the main axle 38 for torque support. A ring gear 66 is fixedly attached to the interior 28 of the hub 22. Pinned to planet cage 64 is a plurality of sets of planetary gears. Each set contains an inner planetary gear 68 and slightly offset outer planetary gear 70. In preferred form, there are four sets of planetary gears, which provides good balance. There are only two sets shown in FIG. 4 for demonstration purposes. However, this invention can include fewer or more than four sets of planetary gears. In low gear, multi-jaw endwall 56 of shift member 52 couples with multi-jaw endwall 62 of sun gear 60. This coupling drives sun gear 60, which drives inner planetary gear 68 and in turn, outer planetary gear 70, which drives ring gear 66 at a slower speed, but with greater torque output, than hand wheel hub 36. A plurality of planet cage retainers 72 are used to pin the inner and outer planetary gears 68, 70 to the planet cage 64; however, other fastening means may be used. In preferred form, a sun washer 74 is positioned between sun gear 60 and planetary gears 68, 70 to reduce friction. A bearing may be substituted for the washer. Referring to FIGS. 4, 6 and 7, the axial movement of shift member 52 is accomplished through a rotatable first member and an axially moving second member. In preferred form, the rotatable first member is a shifter 76 having a tubular sleeve 78. The axially moving second member includes a tubular shift carrier 80 that carries shift member 52 axially along main axle 38. Tubular shift carrier 80 is positioned inside hollow hub 54 of shift member 52. Tubular shift carrier 80 moves axially through a slot and pin arrangement. A pair of helical slots 82 are located on tubular sleeve 78. Two elongated linear slots 84 are opposite each other on outboard end 42 of main axle 38. A shift pin 86 extends through two circular openings 88 opposite each other in tubular shift carrier 80, as well as elongated linear slots 84, and helical slots 82. Referring also to FIG. 3, when shifter 76 is axially rotated to low gear, shift pin 86 moves from outboard to inboard as pin 86 simultaneously moves from outboard of helical slots 82 to inboard. Tubular shift carrier 80 moves shift member 52 axially along main axle 38. This axial movement causes shift member 52 to move from first position to second position, where multi-jaw endwall 56 of shift member 52 couples with multi-jaw endwall 62 of sun gear 60. To return to the first position, shifter 76 is rotated in reverse direction. Shift pin 86 moves from inboard to outboard along elongated linear slots 84 and helical slot 82, causing axial movement of shift member 52. Radially extending arms 50 engage in between drive chocks 44 as shown in FIG. 2. Shifter 76 is located adjacent hand wheel hub 36, and as such, is near the user's hand, facilitating shifting. It should be noted that one elongated linear slot in coordination with one helical slot would still provide sufficient axial movement. Referring to FIGS. 2-4, hand wheel hub 36 is fixedly attached to a tubular driver 90 having a plurality of elongated guide prongs 92. The driver 90 never moves axially and only rotates within the hub 22. In preferred form, the hand wheel hub 36 is attached to the driver 90 by screws 94, although other fastening means may be used. Elongated guide prongs 92 are spaced apart to define openings 96. Radially extending arms 50 are always guided in openings 96 by guide prongs 92. In preferred form, a retaining clip 98, held in place by a groove (not shown) in guide prongs 92, holds a spring 100, which is located inboard of shifting member 52. Although axial movement between first and second positions is accomplished via the slot and pin arrangement, retaining clip 98 and spring 100 are biased to return shift member 52 to first position in case of shift pin 86 failure. A detent (not shown) retains shift member 52 into second position when in low gear. Two retaining pins 102 and 104 are positioned to block axial movement. Outboard retaining pin 102 is positioned to prevent axial movement of tubular sleeve 78. In preferred form, tubular sleeve 78 has a slot (not shown) inboard of helical slots 82 to accommodate retaining pin 102. Inboard retaining pin 104 is positioned to prevent axial movement of planet cage 64. Inboard retaining pin 104 also serves to transmit torque between main axle 38 and planet cage 64. To reduce friction, three bearings are added to hub 22; one inboard bearing 106 and two outboard bearings 108, 110. Small outboard bearing 108 is located between main axle 38 and driver 90. Large outboard bearing 110 is located between driver 90 and hub 22. Referring to FIGS. 2-4, the invention also includes a toolless means for being able to quickly connect and disconnect wheel assembly 14 from chair frame 12 and still transfer torque directly between the hub 22 and frame 12 when in connected position. The quick release mechanism includes a quick release shaft 112, which has an inboard end 114 and an outboard end 116. A groove 118, acting as a detent, is located at inboard end 114, which in preferred form includes an annular endwall 120 connected to quick release shaft 112 via a narrow cylindrical shaft 122. Quick release shaft 112 is positioned inside main axle 38. In preferred form, quick release shaft 112 also includes an elongated slot and another mid-range slot for shift pin 86, retaining pins 102, 104 to extend through. Outboard retaining pin 102 limits the inboard displacement of quick release shaft 112. Inboard pin 104 limits outboard displacement of quick release shaft 112. In preferred form, main axle 38 has two openings 124 for the detent action at its inboard end. Two detent members 126, which, in preferred form, are steel balls, are located inside inboard end of main axle 38 and are retained by openings 124. Release cap 128 is adjacent and abutting spring 130. Spring 130 is position in between release cap 128 and abutting annular endwall 120. Detent members 126 contact annular endwall 120 or groove 118. Referring to FIG. 3, to engage the detent, inboard end 114 of the quick release shaft 112 is biased against spring 130 and release cap 128 and forces detent members 126 to extend radially against openings 124. Because detent members 126 are slightly larger than openings 124, the detent members 126 are pushed toward openings 124, but do not go through openings 124. Referring to FIGS. 1 and -10, when wheel assembly 14 is connected to chair frame 12, inboard portion of main axle 38, including the detent mechanism, are positioned in a hollow cylindrical opening 132 of an elongated noncircular member 134. The elongated noncircular member 134 is attached to chair frame 12 via a sleeve assembly 136, which includes a sleeve 138, an elongated slot 140 for the elongated noncircular member 134 to extend through, and a retaining nut 142 on each side of the sleeve 138. Sleeve assembly 136 is a standard feature on many popular manual wheelchairs. As such, this invention was designed to retrofit the majority of manual wheelchairs. Torque is directly transferred from hub 22 to chair frame 12 via a torque collar 144, which is inboard of the planet cage 64. Torque collar 144 includes a noncircular cavity 146 and a hollow concentric hole 148 for main axle 38 to extend through. When connected, noncircular cavity 146 couples with corresponding elongated noncircular member 134 which blocks axial movement of main axle 38 from torque collar 144 to the chair frame 12. Torque collar 144 extends outside inboard end 24 of hub 22. At least one retaining nut 150 fits over torque collar 144 and blocks axial movement of inboard bearing 106. Referring to FIGS. 1, 2 and 8, to disconnect wheel assembly 14 from chair frame 12, outboard end 116 of quick release shaft 112 is depressed axially inboard causing quick release shaft 112 to push against spring 130 and release cap 128. Detent members 126 drop into groove 118, formed by narrow cylindrical shaft 122 and annular endwall 120, and disengages main axle 38 from hollow concentric hole 148. Torque collar 144 slides away from the elongated noncircular member 134 and wheel assembly 14 and chair frame 12 are easily separated. Two important advantages of this invention are 1) the ease and quickness in shifting from a first position (direct drive) to a second position (low drive) to allow a manual wheelchair user to go up ramps or any inclines easily, and 2) a means for quickly replacing wheels with gear reducing hubs to retrofit existing manual wheelchairs that requires no tools and still transfer torque directly from the hub to the chair frame. The illustrated and described embodiments are presented by way of example. The scope of protection is not to be limited by these examples. Rather, protection is to be determined by the claims which follow, construed in accordance with established rules of patent claim construction, including use of the doctrine of equivalents and reversal of parts. * * * * * Field of SearchWheelchair typeWheelchair Reversing and power ratio change Shiftable clutch or gearing Hand propelled Hand wheel or crack and gearing Including one-way clutch or brake PLANETARY GEARING OR ELEMENT Intermeshing planet pinions on single carrier Outer-end stop Movable latch detent Stop-engaging collar or sleeve |

Pats 360:
If there's one thing that we've learned about Bill Belichick over the years is that he admires players that have excelled in two sports.
In the most recent case, Belichick has recognized Aaron Dobson's basketball background and told the media on Friday that it certainly was a plus in his scouting report, as basketball players tend to have "good hands."
Per the Providence Journal:
I would say that, just based on my experience as a coach through the years, that basketball players, most have good hands. They have to handle the ball a lot. The ball is on them quick, tight passes and handling the ball in traffic and that kind of thing. Usually, when you get a good basketball player, those guys usually have pretty good ball skills in terms of handling the ball: strong hands in being able to keep it and quick hands, being able to snatch it and handle it cleanly and, hopefully, without losing it.

Welsh First Minister promises action against 'totally unacceptable' anti-gay language

Wow, he sounds like a progressive First Minister! What a difference between him and Northern Ireland's First Minister.
The Stonewall Cymru campaign against the use of anti-gay language in schools and the support given by the Welsh First Minister is really great, but it's time for homophobic bullying of children to be tackled head-on. Legislation needs to be introduced to outlaw the harassment, psychological and physical abuse of children and teenagers. Schools and parents need to be held responsible.
All bullying is an outrage, but homophobic bullying seems to be more prevalent, just as it has been for decades. Adults are legally protected by law from hate-speech/crimes and that's what bullying is. It's incredible that children and teenagers do not have the same – if not more – legal protection. No Government appears to have the courage (not that it should take any) to introduce such legislative measures.

Congratulations to all the "Liberals" who have brought us the promised utopia resulting from returning the land to the natives, reparations and set-asides to favored socio-economic and racial groups, and socialism.
Clearly, since it has been such a success each time it is tried, we should try it in the USA.
Time will come when Africans no longer commemorate such events since it now requires other revolutionalists to unseat those who came as revolutionalists in the 70 and 80s. Simply put we need second independence to liberate ourselves from our own people the likes of Mugabe.
You should but a chart for South African Rand next to it.
Zuma will get rid of those bad, people using, racist white capitalists and farmers and SA will reach the prosperity level of Zimbabwe. Just give it 10 years.....
I imagine the author really loved writing '5.7 quadrillion' and '47.2 decillion'.
I also imagine Mugabe will spout some nonsense about imperialism being too blame for him being a perpetual catastrophe, and every other African leader will agree and support him. Rather like Pavlov's dogs.
All these shallow cultural explanations explaining economic performance don't fly any more- they have been rather thoroughly discredited in the relevant literature. Did Chinese culture change in 1980? Did Indian culture change in 1990's? Did North Korea and South Korea have different cultures? Its about policies and institutions- not culture. Every country/culture has the potential to develop economically with the right policies and the right set of institutions.
nkab - interesting point, but the true test is not whether "Zimbabwe is... Germany" but whether Zimbabweans are at all like Germans. (I am neither by the way). Germans are notoriously industrious, organized, meticulous, and efficient. The Zimbabweans I know are none of the above. They are friendly, warm, gracious, and generous. Nice attributes - but not the stuff of economic miracles.
I do not see SA becoming Zimbabwe, but all other African countries should take note. Terms should be limited to 10 years in power maximum and the AU and the international community should ensure that this is adhered too. Mugabe went mad on power and after so long in charge could not even contemplate leaving office and so savagely wrecked his country so that his now starving population had no stomach for, or food in theirs, to fight
Let's not throw all the stones at the underdog. At least they have got rid of apartheid of former Rhodesia thirty years ago.
The hyperinflation that started in 2002 is indeed unfortunate for the people of Zimbabwe. The situation today is despairingly desperate but not absolutely without a ray of hope.
Any student of WW 1 would note that in November, 1921, An American dollar buys 330 Deutsche Marks of Germany, and two years later in 1923, it buys 4,200,000,000,000 Deutsche Marks.
Today, Germany is among the largest economies and the largest (or close to being the largest) exporter in the world.
Zimbabwe is of course no Germany. But the potential of any people knows no bound and should not be written off in a single stroke.
craigie - and for you nothing is more important than jobs and food? Really? You'd sacrifice your political rights so that you could have a job? You'd put up with being an inferior person in the eyes of the law just so that you could have food from another man's table?
@ FiscalConservative: "You'd sacrifice your political rights so that you could have a job? You'd put up with being an inferior person in the eyes of the law just so that you could have food from another man's table?"
Hierarchy of needs, baby. Food comes before rights. I don't need to think too long if I'm faced with a decision between suffrage and survival.
khichuri1 - actually all those studies say that policies and institutions are necessary, but not sufficient. None of them eliminate culture as a factor in economic development. And you brought up culture, I didn't mention it. Read my comments again.
Some readers here seem to believe that Mugabes disastrous rule somehow justifies apartheid as a legit form of rule. It is not only illogical, it is a dangerous mistake to make. The injustices of apartheid can never be justified regardless of what may happen in the aftermath. Adhering to that logic, one could easily argue that the communist rule of Yugoslavia was a blessing for its people. However, cases such as Botswana that has had the highest economic growth in the world the last 30 years is conveniently ignored. Minority white rule was a crime then, and the continuous effort to try to justify it is a crime now.
I didn't even know 'decillion' was a number.
Clearly, things are taking a very surreal turn in that part of the world...
I wonder what currency we will measure against when the dollar itself is plummeting.
ZaphodB, Mugabe has been called many things but a "Liberal" is not one of them.
As you will no doubt recall from your extensive reading, a traditional liberal (From England where the term was first used), believed in small government, social freedom and freedom of trade.
Mugabe never (even in his better years) delivered any of that.
"nkab wrote: At least they have got rid of apartheid of former Rhodesia thirty years ago.". It's that sort of K-logic that got Zim into the state it's in. At least under Smith blacks had jobs and food. Good on ya "one man one vote"
unfortunately, this is another case where incompetent leadership leads to a state not functioning in its full potential. A revolution, that involved the overthrow of Mugabe, I believe, would be in Zimbabwe's best interest. However, they will need a lot more than that. Calling there currency collapsed is an understatement. There is no FDI (Foreign Direct Investment) in Zimbabwe. This nation will continue to be in the status that it is in for quite some time: and that is the sad truth.
Jianadaren - you should read a little history. What do Gandhi, MLK, Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Paine, Nelson Mandela, et.al all have in common? They were prepared to stand up against tyranny and oppression - they were prepared to die for their political rights. Uncommon courage, upon which great nations were founded.
Zimbabwe is a mess (in part) because there were too few people with uncommon courage who would stand up to Mugabe.
Agreed, as many here say, that apartheid was and is illegitimate.
But the aftermath as practiced by Mugabe does say clearly: its not enough to tear down one system we don't like, its also necessary to replace it with something positive.
Mugabe's failure does not justify apartheid. But neither does apartheid justify Mugabe!

Movie News
Tomorrowland finds a decades old fighting robot child!
Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. While we might not know much about Brad Bird's super secret TOMORROWLAND project, thanks to THR's Heat Vision Blog we now know that there will be a decades old fighting robot child played by young Raffey Cassidy.
Cassidy was young Snow White in the recent Snow White and the Huntsman and won the coveted role after a worldwide talent search, which leads me to believe that this role is pretty crucial. If they just wanted a precocious kid to play off of George Clooney they could have just walked into any casting office in LA.
So, a robot girl that can fight, a bad guy Hugh Laurie and bitter inventor George Clooney. Those bastards know how to drip the info in just the right way, don't they? Can't wait to see the next few crumbs that fall our way!

How to Become a Home Improvement Contractor
Learn how to become a home improvement contractor. Research the training requirements and learn about the experience you need to advance your career in home improvement contracting.
Home Improvement Contractor Requirements
Home improvement contractors restore, update and expand pre-existing residential buildings. An understanding of construction, repairs and renovations, as well as a background in business administration and organization is beneficial in this career. Licenses, permits and registration may be required depending on local regulations. The table below outlines the requirements to become a home improvement contractor.
Common Requirements | |
Degree Level | None required* |
Licensure or Certification | Licensing requirements vary by state**; voluntary certification programs are available*** |
Experience | May be gained through apprenticeships or on-the-job training* |
Key Skills | Manual dexterity; good problem-solving skills; stamina to lift, climb and stand for long periods of time* |
Technical Skills | Know how to use and operate common hand and power tools, how to measure accurately, how to read plans* |
Additional Requirements | Physical strength* |
Sources: *U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, **State licensing boards, ***National Association of the Remodeling Industry.
Step 1: Pursue Career Training
The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) reports that many individuals in the construction industry are trained on the job through apprenticeships or through completion of a technical program. Some schools offer semester-long courses specifically designed to prepare students for the home improvement contractor license exam in a particular state.
Alternatively, a career diploma program in home remodeling and repair may allow for independent study in reading construction plans, installing fixtures and remodeling rooms. Programs might also cover business topics such as accounting and marketing.
Step 2: Obtain Licensure or Registration
Depending on local regulations, home improvement contractors may be required to register with their city or state and/or obtain licenses. Requirements vary, and both construction and business licenses may be necessary. Independent contractors must also register as state business taxpayers.
In some states, a candidate must pass a licensing exam on home improvement laws and business and labor laws. In other jurisdictions, individuals might have to acquire a home improvement contractor license plus a home improvement salesperson license or registration in order to negotiate contracts with homeowners. Some states require construction licenses in home improvement.
Step 3: Earn a College Degree
According to the BLS, a college degree and basic business skills are recommended for construction contractors. A bachelor's degree in construction science can provide training in business management and building techniques.
Step 4: Consider Certification
The National Association of the Remodeling Industry (NARI) offers voluntary certification to those with a minimum of five years of experience in the home improvement industry. The NARI certification exam covers codes, laws, safety standards and industry-specific skills. Certification demonstrates a level of professional knowledge and experience to homeowners.

Goddamn thread is like Natural Born Killers, there's not a single sympathetic character in the whole production.
Part of me wants to sympathize with the wife who just meant well, but...I look at that picture and I just can't. She paid someone to do that.She commissioned it from someone who should've stuck with drawing Pete the Pirate from the art school ad. And then bragged about it on reddit.
I realize there's people who'll pay good money to have someone shit on them. I realize there's people who'll allow someone else to shit on them for the amusement of others.
...but everyone involved in that transaction understands that it's shit.
EDIT: facts corrected. Commissioned != paid. My bad.
[–]bamberoo 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago
She didn't pay anyone to do it, in the thread she says she had one of her art student friends do it for practice.
I still wouldn't put it up on my walls, however.

Book Description:The theme of trust, betrayed or fulfilled, runs through this collection of short stories: Parents lead children into peril, husbands abandon wives, wives manipulate husbands, and time undermines all. Love pangs, a favorite subject of the author, take on a new urgency as earthquakes, illnesses, lost wallets, and deaths of distant friends besiege his aging heroes and heroines. One man loves his wife's twin, and several men love the imagined bliss of their pasts; one woman takes an impotent lover, and another must administer her father's death. Bourgeois comforts and youthful convictions are tenderly seen as certain to erode: "Man," as one of these stories concludes, "was not meant to abide in paradise."

English teachers seem to be the solution for better math scores.
Education By The Numbers, an organization aimed to improve education, recently reported that English teachers are doing more than just helping students in reading and writing. In fact, they're helping their students improve in math.
"Our findings reinforce the value of investments in student learning in ELA (English language arts), even if the immediate effects of teachers or other instructional interventions may appear modest in comparison to effects on short-term math achievement," the authors wrote, according to Education By The Numbers.

Home › Forums › General Discussion › Why is it that most rap heads get offended when people try to define "how to rap" and what rap is?
This topic contains 1 reply, has 2 voices, and was last updated by MizzHitZthaProducer 1 year, 7 months ago.
I mean, whats the point of being a rap head if you can't even be honest about the definition of rap and how rap/MCing is really supposed to be strung together lyrically/simile/punchline in their bars?
What's so offensive by explaining for example the mere fact that a rap song isn't supposed to just have one type of bars in it (similes/punch lines/story) but rather a mix of all?
People in Hip Hop are too uptight
and serious I believe. It really is
petty for people to get pissed off
at stuff like that.
To me hip hop is so universal and
expansive that it clearly can't be explained
by just a few words.
There are so many angles and perspectives
to it that it literally is impossible to do so
without going into opinionated responses.

Gnarly Programming Challenges Help Recruit Coders 177
from the what-is-your-favorite-algorithm dept.
Well, let's see here. We have the standard interview format, where they find out what you know and how you've used it (after HR subjects your resume to the most stupid and rigorous pigeonholing known to man), there's the audition format, where they give you a task and judge your results, and then there's what I like to call the goofy-as-fuck-Google-format, where they subject you to bizarre questions that don't have any particular bearing on your actual job and instead attempt to figure out how creative or conservative you are while you demonstrate a certain level of knowledge on a topic. From lowest amount of hoops to most, you are progressively demonstrating as an employer how desperate you are to find "authentic" applicants that fit your corporate culture.
Whether these are effective or not I leave up to your metrics. I don't play games, I get shit done.
So that's what programmers at software companies do all day? Write novel algorithms?
Coulda fooled me, last software job I had I spent all day in meetings.

Honestly, I hope Nintendo crashes and burns on the hardware side of things and just resorts to doing software like Sega.
@laserbolts: I am playing solo. Its fun but the first little bit is bit of a drag but once you get a few good weapons and you get used to the controls you can have some fun for sure.
@Ghost_Cat said:I don't know if you have read anything on the new Star Trek movie, but to make it short: Earth is in an epic crisis, and the villain is a Starfleet crew member. I have my guesses on who that person may be, but it is still kept under wraps. I still can't get a good feel of what this teaser is going for (it's pretty short), but if the film is going for something else, then I am fine with that. There is enough films and products out there trying to be something close to their origins (or carbon copies).That is the thing that bums me out then. I want space. They go to earth way to much. Like c'mon aliens and big ship battles. Forget earth.
Well if all you are wanting to do is link it to Giantbomb you might just want to save yourself the effort as Giantbomb is getting rid of the Achievement stuff as soon as the new site launches.
@ProfessorEss: Yeah, oddly enough I find myself sometimes getting sort of terrified walking through the city section. Hearing a horrible growl in the distance and wondering if a horde is going to come charging at me. I know people have told me to play with others but damn if there isn't something to being isolated in a city full of zombies with nothing but a pipe wrench and a machete to protect yourself with. I'll have moments of seeing a horde corner another survivor and I'll have to peruse my inventory trying to see if I want to bother potentially wasting all of my good weapons taking out the 6-7 zambies that are surrounding the location the survivor is held up in. If the presentation part of this game could have been brought up to where the game play is I think it would have been on the shelf for GOTY discussions last year.

Hastings' main street could be remade by block-long CVS project
- Mark Reilly
- Managing Editor- Minneapolis / St. Paul Business Journal
- Email | Twitter | LinkedIn | Google+
Hastings' City Council last week approved a development project that will convert an entire block of its main thoroughfare into a CVS pharmacy.
The Pioneer Press reports on plans by Velmeir Cos., a Michigan-based developer whose Bloomington, Minn., office will build the 13,000-square-foot pharmacy for CVS Caremark Corp. CVS already has deals to buy the 10 properties on the site.
The project was unanimously approved, though it got some criticism from residents who noted that there's a Walgreen's four blocks away, plus a local pharmacy and others at Coburn's, Target and Cub Foods.
The deal now hinges on a ruling by the Minnesota Department of Transportation, which has to decide whether to allow access to the site from Vermillion Street.
Mark Reilly manages daily and weekly coverage at the Business Journal newsroom.

BohemianMatt HeadlinerWitticus;4919742 said:Games don't need to come out every single year and in the time we got GTAIV we also got Red Dead Redemption and Max Payne 3.
Not to mention The Lost and Damned and The Ballad of Gay Tony. I feel like GTAIV detractors would benefit by giving TBOGT a try, since it adds quite a bit of the zany, over-the-top gameplay back into the game.
In other news, trailer two is expected November 14. -

- Land mass will be larger than GTA: SA, GTA: IV, and RDR combined. Featuring the full city of Los Santos, deserts, forest, and even a fully explorable ocean area.

Same thing they did about Assassin's Creed 3 and Red Dead Redemption having animals. Not a damn thing, but maybe they'll take the pokemon route and complain about it 15 years after the fact. -

I'm sure CoD will try it. Rockstar's never been known for that so much even now putting a game on 2 systems is pushing it for them.

HEMPSTEAD, NY - President Obama was noticeably sharper and more aggressive in tonight's debate, as both candidates exchanged barbs throughout the evening. Mitt Romney excelled by focusing on jobs, jobs, jobs, and repeatedly forcing voters to notice the canyon between Obama's rhetoric and his record. Romney's strongest answer came after Obama attempted to apply lipstick to his failed record in office. Romney unleashed a torrent of facts that pushed back forcefully against each and every one of those claims. It should be cut into an ad as soon as possible. Throughout the night, Romney was asked questions from the audience...
Michelle's arrse is a very large subject, good thing that Obama has a 747 to fly that mega arrse around. He'll have to get a dump truck to haul her back to Chicago when he looses Air Force One.

Carl telling us how (not) to science.
"conclusion: dinosaurs" is still my favorite rebuttal to just about anything tbh.
Second perhaps only to "Therefore: aliens"
Kitty Pryde portrait I drew as a reward for finishing an essay I had to write on time. She's everyone's favortie X-Men character by now, right? Good.
Teenage girls, please don't worry about being super popular in high school, or being the best actress in high school, or the best athlete. Not only do people not care about any of that the second you graduate, but when you get older, if you reference your successes in high school too much, it actually makes you look kind of pitiful, like some babbling old Tennessee Williams character with nothing else going on in her current life. What I've noticed is that almost no one who was a big star in high school is also big star later in life. For us overlooked kids, it's so wonderfully fair.
