New Rescue
New Rescue Boat from NorMar
Norwegian Maritime Equipment AS has extended their range of rescue boats with a small model designed for outboard propulsion. The boat, denominated Normar 425, is a well balanced GRP rescue boat with a capacity of six (6) persons. The overall length is 4.25m, breadth 1.84m and weight 316 kg (ex. engine and fuel). The stability of the boat is ensured by the particular design, as the outer and inner hulls are shaped in separate mould, then connected to shape the seats and buoyancy tanks. The buoyancy tank provides sufficient buoyancy to float the boat at flooded condition with all persons onboard. The boat can be delivered with or without engine, and has a full SOLAS and BV-EC approval. The Normar 425 is the latest rescue boat model on the market, and probably the most competitive of its kind.

Compal pulls out all the (bus) stops
Compal, a Portuguese juice and smoothie company, is celebrating its 60th anniversary this year. To mark the event, some bus stops in Lisbon have been transformed into traditional Portuguese houses to advertise its 60 years in business and promote the launch of new products.
Why it matters
Advertising in bus stops is nothing new. However, by turning the bus stops into a typical Portuguese house, the brand achieves its purpose by reminding customers, in a pleasant and non-intrusive way, that the product is local and rooted in tradition. Are transforming bus stops into experiential installations a more effective way of marketing to potential customers?

In Oncology Massage, Positioning Matters
A client with advanced cancer was looking forward to the massage session in his home. There had been so many medical appointments lately. So many scans and procedures and hard conversations. This soothing, gentle massage was exactly what he needed — touch without a medical procedure attached it and he couldn't wait to escape it all for an hour.
But there was a challenge ahead. Before the therapist even laid a hand on him, she was concerned that she couldn't get him comfortable on the massage table or even on the client's bed. Cancer had spread to his liver, causing his abdomen to become distended, a condition known as ascites. The added volume in his abdomen, plus this new challenge to his breathing, made the prone position impossible. Even lying supine would most likely cause shortness of breath.
A less-than-comfortable position detracts from the experience of the massage, no matter how lovely and skilled a therapist's hands may be. If someone is lying in discomfort, even minor, annoying discomfort, it may interfere with the potential benefits of the massage session, especially the ability to relax.
Now, imagine lying on the table in not just minor discomfort, but something decidedly more like pain. Pressure in the wrong areas, leads to guarding and tensing up. Compromised breathing leads to sudden changes in position in the search for air. Now, lying down has become work. This is where a skilled therapist can come in to save the session with some mindfulness, creativity and patience.
Most massage therapists are familiar with the two most popular positioning options: supine with a bolster or pillow under the knees and perhaps the head, and prone with a bolster or small pillow underneath the ankles, and sometimes, this is all we may need. But there are many less obvious choices, individualized ones tailored to each client's needs based on their responses to our intake interview questions and how things look on the table during the session.
In oncology massage, there are many reasons for possible position modifications. Anything going on in the abdomen, be it something as serious as liver swelling or abdominal masses to something like GERD, can make prone or supine positioning uncomfortable. In these cases, other options can ease breathing or alleviate pressure. Among these options are:
More Than Uncomfortable
There are cases where the wrong positioning can set the client up for risk. If a client has a history or risk of lymphedema, a chronic condition whereby an extremity or other area of the body fills up with protein-rich fluid, their arms should not hang off of the side of the massage table, as this can put pressure on axillary lymphatic structures and potentially cause damage or trigger an episode of swelling. Scrolls and wells made with rolled-up towels can gently support and tuck in extremities so that they stay safely on the table. Elevating an extremity with pillows or towels can help to ease that feeling of heaviness or fullness, even if only for a little while.
Clients undergoing cancer treatment may have a chemotherapy port in place. It can be positioned below their collarbone or on their abdomen, or sometimes in other areas of the body. For those clients who have a port placed in their chest, for example, and who really want to incorporate comfortable and safe back massage into their session, they can sometimes lie prone comfortably with the help of a "nest" made with a small hand towel that creates a soft, little depression that the port can fit into so that there isn't pressure being put on a sensitive area.
Good Positioning Supports Sleep
A good night's sleep is good for anyone. But for someone experiencing the symptoms of cancer and side effects of treatment, good sleep is essential. Properly bolstering and positioning someone who needs extra, individualized support may help clients relax more deeply during the massage itself. In addition, the work that you do as a therapist with lovingly supporting an arm, placing a pillow between the knees, or creating a "nest" around a sore spot can be carried into the client's daily life. They can use some of those positioning and bolstering strategies for themselves at home, to help get them more comfortable in bed when they are sleeping.
Perhaps these strategies can be passed along to the client's caregivers, who then get a chance to help by offering a well-placed pillow or towel at home. Good support with towels and pillows can help create a neutral spine for the client when they are on the table, and this position can help minimize pain in cases of bone involvement. Limbs can be gently supported, torsion on the spine can be eased and the neck can be cradled by rolls of soft towels. There is so much versatility and value available with such simple materials, aided by the creativity and caring intent of the therapist.
As hard as it may be, think of client positioning at a vital part of the massage session, not something to be hastily fussed with and glossed over in an effort to get to the "real" massage. Even though it can take longer with a client with a complicated medical history, it is worth the effort. Take time to communicate about it, so the client doesn't worry or feel pressured to rush the process.
"We're going to spend a few minutes of your session positioning you so you're comfortable. I'll ask you several different times about your comfort. Imagine the eye doctor asking, 'is this better, or worse?' In my experience, this time is well-spent. Once we've settled you into a well-supported position, you'll likely relax better during the massage."
When we take the time to make sure a client is positioned in the best way, when we take those moments to create a soft nest from a towel or to gently add another pillow under the head, and when we do so with 100% presence, our clients often express appreciation. More benefit is possible when the position is comfortable.
Worth the Effort
In the end, the massage therapist worked with the client with ascites in the semi-reclining and then sidelying positions, with five pillows and a few rolled-up towels that she was able to find in his home. The whole process took about 10 to 15 minutes, to get him lying comfortably and supported and bolstered well in each of several positions. Throughout, she worked in a mindful, caring way. She checked to make sure each area was well supported, sliding her hand underneath the support to check for space, then using more towels if the support was not bearing weight.
It didn't leave as much time for the hands-on work as the therapist was hoping for, but she knew her time was worth it when she heard him sigh happily and say, "It doesn't hurt anymore to lie this way. Thank you."

Summary form only given. The connectivity of a typical triangle mesh representing a 3D object for a graphics or geometric modeling application exhibits a lot of regularity. While a lot of aspects of triangle mesh regularity have not been formally described, the simplest regularity measure is the compactness of the distribution of vertex degrees. In a regular mesh, most of the vertices have degree 6 or close to 6. Algorithms that can effectively take advantage of mesh regularity to decrease the size of the connectivity code will perform better in most practical cases. The Edgebreaker algorithm converts a manifold triangle mesh into a string of symbols in {C,L,E,R,S} (called the CLERS string), each of them corresponding to a triangle of the encoded mesh. The CLERS string can be turned into a binary string using an entropy coding algorithm.

Too $hort
Too $hort recently had to blow the whistle—on himself. The Bay Area icon was widely criticized for a video posted on XXLmag.com in which he gave some pointers to teenage boys about the opposite sex. In the video, Too $hort says that when boys "get to late middle school, early high school" and "start feeling a certain way about girls," they should skip the kisses and touch a girl "down there." He tells them to "push her against a wall," and it only gets more graphic from there. The video sparked outrage across the Internet and media, and Too Short apologized in an interview with Ebony. "I had never realized," Short said, "until this thing came up that legally and more importantly, morally, it just [is] not right.

Many freebies come at a cost. And with unsolicited offers for supposedly free medical supplies and services, it's often identity theft. As your phone likely continues to ring with robocalls touting "free" medical alert systems — a scam that's been going strong for more than a year (with some calls still lying about phony AARP ties and bogus coupons) — expect other equally dubious deals. Some offer "no-cost" medications and supplies for diabetes or other conditions. Others are even bolder, claiming that "doctor-ordered" …

Caring for family or friends is not just a matter of love and time, it's also a matter of dollars and cents. According to a new survey from Caring.com, nearly half of caregivers spend more than $5,000 per year — a whopping $25,000 over the average caregiving stint of five years. And many spend far more. Complicating things is the reluctance of caregivers to talk about finances: Seven out of 10 have not spoken with loved ones about how to …

The strap material is typically metal or plastic and can be applied to the load using either a manual sealer or a powered sealer. Powered sealers can be pneumatic or electric and can be hand-held or machine-frame type machines. Non-powered (manual) sealers are typically hand-held or hand-operated tools. The seals (for both metal and plastic strap) can be of the seal-less type or of the crimp seal type. In a seal-less seal or joint, the material is welded to itself (if plastic) or mechanically joined as by locking cuts and projections. Crimp seals, on the other hand, use a band that is bent or wrapped around overlapping portions of strap and mechanically crimped onto the strap. In such a joint, the seal is compressed onto the strap material and the strap material is deformed so as to be secured in the seal. Generally, the inside of the seal is coated with grit to increase the friction between the seal and the strap. In many such seals, the seal is cut, at least in part and is urged into the material to create an interference type of fit. In this manner, portions of the strap and portions of the seal are forced from their respective bodies, into the other material. That is, the strap and seal are cut and bent into each other so that the materials are not only held by compression, but also by interference of the crimp seal with the strap "pulling" from the seal. While such an arrangement is acceptable for metal strapping material it is unacceptable for plastic strap in that the integrity of the plastic strap can be compromised by cutting the strap material. To this end, crimp seal arrangements have been attempted with plastic strap without success. It has been found that without the cutting and attendant interferences created by the joint, the plastic strap simply pulls from the crimp seal. On the other hand, experience with the cutting and interference type of joint shows that the potential for strap material failure is too high. Accordingly, there is a need for a manual crimp seal tool for use with plastic strap material. Desirably, such a tool is used to provide a high reliability crimp seal type of seal on overlapping plastic strap. Most desirably, such a tool provides the crimp seal without damage to the underlying strap material. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION A crimping tool for installing a metal crimp seal onto overlapping layers of plastic strap material provides a high reliability metal crimp seal type of seal on overlapping plastic strap. Such a tool provides or installs the crimp seal without damage to the underlying strap material. The tool includes a tool head having at least three pairs of jaws disposed in the tool head and operably mounted thereto. Each pair of jaws includes opposingly oriented jaw elements and each pair is spaced from its adjacent pair. At least two crimpers, with one crimper disposed between adjacent pairs of jaw elements is provided, the crimpers extending between the jaw elements. Preferably, the crimper is straight, extending straight between opposing sets of jaw elements and having a curved profile in cross-section. A present tool includes three pairs of jaws, one being a central jaw pair and the others being terminal jaw pairs and includes two crimpers, one crimper positioned between the central jaw pair and one of the terminal jaw pairs and the other crimper disposed between the central jaw pair and the other of the terminal jaw pairs. The tool preferably includes one tool operating handle operably connected to the tool head, and a stationary handle operably mounted to the head. In a present tool, a linkage operably connects each of the jaw elements of each pair of jaw elements and operably connects each of the jaw element pairs so that all of the jaw pairs open and close (operate) in unison and together with tool actuation. The linkage is operably connected to the tool operating handle. These and other features and advantages of the present invention will be readily apparent from the following detailed description, in conjunction with the claims. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS The benefits and advantages of the present invention will become more readily apparent to those of ordinary skill in the relevant art after reviewing the following detailed description and accompanying drawings, wherein: FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a side action crimping tool for plastic strap embodying the principles of the present invention; FIG. 2 is an exploded view of the tool of FIG. 1; FIGS. 3A and 3B are perspective and enlarged views of one jaw element; FIGS. 4A, 4B and 4C are perspective, enlarged and cross-sectional views, respectively, of a crimper; and FIG. 5 illustrates a crimped joint formed using the crimping tool of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION While the present invention is susceptible of embodiment in various forms, there is shown in the drawings and will hereinafter be described a presently preferred embodiment with the understanding that the present disclosure is to be considered an exemplification of the invention and is not intended to limit the invention to the specific embodiment illustrated. It should be understood that the title of this section of this specification, namely, "Detailed Description Of The Invention", relates to a requirement of the United States Patent Office, and does not imply, nor should be inferred to limit the subject matter disclosed herein. Referring now to the figures and in particular to FIG. 1, there is shown a side action crimping tool 10 embodying the principles of the present invention. The tool 10 includes a head 12, a stationary handle 14 and a crimping or operating handle 16. As the names reveal, the stationary handle 14 is mounted, in a stationary manner, to the head 12 and provides for support and stability in using the tool 10, as well as assists in developing the leverage needed to operate the tool 10. The operating handle 16, on the other hand, is used to operate or actuate the tool 10. The present tool 10 is of the side action type in that one of the handles 16 actuates the tool 10 while the other is for stability and leverage and further that the tool 10 operates on strapping from the side of the head 12, rather than the top of the head. The head 12 includes a plurality of movable jaw element sets or pairs 18a,b, 20a,b and 22a,b, and in fact at least three jaw element pairs. This is unlike known crimping tools that use only two pairs of jaw elements. The jaws 18 22 pivot between an open position in which the strap S and crimp seal C are positioned in the tool 10 (between the jaws, i.e., between jaws 18a, 20a, 22a and 18b, 20b and 22b, respectively) and a closed position in which the jaws 18 22 move inward to deform the seal C and compress the seal C onto the strapping material S thus forming the crimp seal. It will be appreciated that when the jaws 18 22 are open, the distance between the jaws (that is, the distance between jaw elements 18a and 18b, between elements 20a and 20b and between elements 22a and 22b, or the jaw opening 23) is (slightly) greater than the with of the crimp seal C, and that closing the jaws 18 22 moves the jaws toward one another. A linkage arrangement, indicated generally at 25, in the head 12 operably connects the jaws 18 22 to one another and to the operating handle 16 so that pivoting the operating handle 16 away from the stationary handle 14 opens the jaws 18 22 and pivoting the operating handle 16 toward the stationary handle 14 closes the jaws 18 22. Such an arrangement is well known in the art and will be recognized by those skilled in the art. In order to create joint, the seal C must not only be bent inward (or closed), onto the flat portions of the strap S, but also an undulation or "wave" like deformation is formed in the crimp seal C, transverse to the longitudinal axis of A.sub.C the seal C (see FIG. 5). In order to form this wave, as indicated generally at W, as seen in FIGS. 2 and 4A 4C, a crimper (two total) 24, 26 is positioned between adjacent pairs of jaw elements 18 22. A present tool includes two crimpers, one crimper 24 between the first and second pair of jaw elements 18, 20 and a second crimper 26 between the second and third pair of jaw elements 20, 22. Again, unlike known tools which have two pairs of jaw elements and one crimper, the present tool includes three pairs of jaw elements 18 22 and two crimpers 24, 26. Thus, while the joint made using known tools is of a W-shape, a joint seal C made using the present tool 10 is a WW-shape (see FIG. 5). This provides a number of advantages, some of which are not readily apparent. First, the increased number of waves or undulations, increases the tortuousness of the path that a strap would have to follow in order to pull out of the joint. This, of course, increases the overall joint strength. Additionally, the increased number of jaw pairs 18 22 and crimpers 24, 26 allows the use of straight crimpers 24 and 26, rather than known peaked crimpers. That is, as seen in FIGS. 2 and 4A 4C, the present tools uses crimpers 24 and 26 that are essentially straight across the tool or from the point 28 adjacent one jaw element, e.g., 18a of a pair, to a point 30 adjacent the other jaw element, e.g., 18b, of that pair. As such, in a present tool 10, the crimper 24, 26 is formed straight (as indicated at 32) from one jaw element to the other jaw element, and has a rounded profile in cross-section as indicated at 34 in FIG. 4C (transverse to the elongated direction). This is quite unlike known tools which use a peaked crimper that essentially provides an anvil surface, about which the strap and seal are bent (and cut or torn) as the jaws compress and close the seal. It has been found that by increasing the number of jaw element pairs 18 22 (to at least three pairs) and accordingly increasing the number of crimpers 24, 26, the depth to which the crimps WW (FIG. 5) must be made can be significantly reduced. While one may suppose that such an arrangement would unacceptably reduce the joint strength, it has been found that the increased number of reduced depth crimps provides acceptable joint strength while greatly reducing the opportunity for joint failure due to severed plastic strap (under the crimp seal). Those skilled in the art will recognize that the present invention has been described with reference to a side action crimp sealing tool, but that the invention is equally well applicable to known top action sealing tools as well. All patents referred to herein, are hereby incorporated herein by reference, whether or not specifically done so within the text of this disclosure. In the disclosures, the words "a" or "an" are to be taken to include both the singular and the plural. Conversely, any reference to plural items shall, where appropriate, include the singular. From the foregoing it will be observed that numerous modification and variations can be effectuated without departing from the true spirit and scope of the novel concepts of the present invention. It is to be understood that no limitation with respect to the specific embodiments illustrated is intended or should be inferred. The disclosure is intended to cover by the appended claims all such modifications as fall within the scope of the claims. * * * * *

Cyberbulling Affects Teachers
Find a Conversation
|Wed, 02-29-2012 - 10:48am
A study done in the UK shows that not only are children affected by cyberbullying, but it's also affecting the education system. According to the report, teachers in the UK spend about six hours a week dealing with cyberbullying. Not only that, but teachers themselves have been the target of cyberbullying.
Do you feel that cyberbullying has affected your job as well?
|Wed, 02-29-2012 - 7:30pm
Not a surprise. I'm sure a lot of MS and HS teachers address the problem almost daily. In elementary schools you don't hear as much about this problem,but as parents provide more computer access and smart phones for their elementary kids I can see the problem increasing. Even though most social websites have age limits no one checks and kids can easily lie about their age.
A neighboring community just had a problem with technology use. Members of the basketball team filmed another player in the shower with a cell phone

Oct. 11 (Bloomberg) -- The cost of options to protect against losses in smaller U.S. companies has risen to a two-year high against Standard & Poor's 500 Index contracts on concern they will fare worse should the economic slowdown intensify.
The Chicago Board Options Exchange Russell 2000 Volatility Index is priced 12.60 points higher than the CBOE Volatility Index, or VIX, which tracks contracts on the S&P 500. That's the most since the record 12.84 points set in April 2009, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. The gap has widened from this year's low of 2.93 on July 13.
Analysts cut profit projections for Russell 2000 companies this year on concern they are more vulnerable to slowing U.S. growth because they derive less revenue from outside the country, said Barry Ritholtz, who oversees about $300 million as chief executive officer of New York-based FusionIQ. Russell 2000 Index stocks, with a median market capitalization of $431 million, have lost 19 percent since July 22, compared with an 11 percent loss in the S&P 500, where the value is $10.5 billion.
"Small caps have the least ability to absorb the punches," Ritholtz said during a telephone interview on Oct. 7. "They tend not to be global, they tend to be more concentrated in a sector or industry, and are more dependent on a single product."
'Everything Necessary'
The options index for the Russell 2000 fell 5.6 percent to 45.62 yesterday, while the S&P 500 derivatives gauge dropped 8.8 percent to 33.02, after German Chancellor Angela Merkel said European leaders will do "everything necessary" to ensure that banks have adequate capital. On average during the past eight years, the Russell index has been 6.54 points higher than the S&P 500 gauge, data compiled by Bloomberg show.
The Russell 2000 VIX fell 2.7 percent to 44.37 today, while the VIX declined 0.5 percent to 32.86.
The Russell 2000 has surged 12 percent and the S&P 500 has risen 8.7 percent since Oct. 3, the biggest rallies over the same amount of time since 2009, on optimism European leaders will take action to end the crisis. The small-cap index has done worse in 2011 than the large-company measure, dropping 13 percent versus a 5 percent drop.
Analysts have raised 2011 earnings estimates for the S&P 500 by 4.8 percent since the start of the year and reduced them by 10 percent for the Russell 2000, according to average projections compiled by Bloomberg. For 2012, they increased forecasts by 3.6 percent for the large-stock measure and cut them by 2.6 percent for the small-company gauge, the data show.
"Small-cap stocks tend to be viewed by asset allocators as a higher-risk asset class," Chip Miller, the U.S. small-cap equity strategist at UBS AG in Stamford, Connecticut, said in a telephone interview yesterday. "Their earnings are more volatile, and they tend to be more economically sensitive."
More Growth
Even after analysts cut projections, they see Russell 2000 companies posting 38 percent and 40 percent earnings growth in 2011 and 2012, according to the average estimates. That's double and triple the projected rates for the S&P 500, the data show. For China's Shanghai Composite Index, the forecast for next year's growth is 19 percent.
"People hear 'small' and immediately think high-risk, which is a very naive way to look at the market," Dan Veru, who oversees $3.4 billion as chief investment officer at Fort Lee, New Jersey-based Palisade Capital Management LLC, said in a telephone interview yesterday. "We're very bullish on small caps. These stocks have some of the same growth attributes as emerging-market stocks with a heck of a lot less risk."
Small caps are less able to endure a global slowdown than S&P 500 stocks, according to Scott Tapley, who helps oversee $2.5 billion at 1st Source Investment Advisors Inc. in South Bend, Indiana.
North American Focus
The median company in the Russell 2000 takes in all of its revenue from North America, compared with 74 percent in the S&P 500, financial reports compiled by Bloomberg show. Cash at Russell 2000 companies represents 32 percent of total debt, compared with 37 percent for the S&P 500, giving smaller stocks less of a cushion should the economy contract, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
"Small caps have more to lose because their balance sheets are weaker relative to large caps," Tapley said in a phone interview yesterday. "I've been adding to larger, dividend- paying, bulletproof multinationals. They're not going away."
