Again? you might ask. Yes, again, I come to the end of a semester of tutoring. This one seems to have gone on longer, despite having a fairly good, i.e. willing, student. One of his quirks has been to yawn constantly, and I do mean those huge almost fall back out of the chair yawns. Each session, he got me feeling tired as the two hours wore on. As we got into our final weeks, he started becoming a clock watcher too. Each time he looked up at the clock, I found myself looking up with him. It tells a lot about him that he would ask..."Do we have 15 more minutes?" when the clock clearly showed 10:15am. Class always started at 9 a.m. and ended at 11 a.m. "No, we have 45 more minutes." and those 45minutes started to loom over me as I too wanted to leave.
I also made the major mistake of thinking our class ended last week, and I happily said good-bye to him, wished him well, and said I hoped I'd never see him back here! In a detention center, no one looks forward to a returning pupil but it happens.
It took me the weekend to realize that I had focused on October 7th with our granddaughter's upcoming move to the Tucson hospital for her bone marrow transplant. I had ended him one week too soon. Sigh.
Bless his heart, he came back on Tuesday with almost no yawns for one hour, but then he was mentally done. We reviewed and I wondered if he had mastered the difference in the -ing, and -ed endings. He seemed to understand the 1-1-1 rule for a lot of words in English. One beat (syllable is not a familiar term to most of these students), one vowel, and one consonant at the end..then double that final consonant. Doing it together he got it. Doing it immediately on his own, not a clue. Then there was -s or -es for the plural. Uh, uh. The only way many of these students can master some of these spelling is to write the words so many times it registers visually. The trouble is when a student then writes it incorrectly, s/he knows it's wrong, and gets very frustrated, very fast when the correct answer doesn't come. There's not a lot of patience with working it out.
Well, Thursday's class has come and gone, and He PASSED!! 101 out of a possible 117. 87 is the grade that is needed for a certificate, so the last thing I did up at the detention center today was fill in a certificate. Maybe it will encourage him to do some more literacy work when he's out. Maybe and maybe not, but we can hope.
My slate is clear for a while.

Aircraft Lovers GroupHobbies & Interests group with 1,317 members, open to all members
This group is open to everyone who likes any kind of aircraft
I possess an interest in military-themed video games set from WWII and beyond. Some games I've enjoyed include Company of Heroes, the Command and Conquer series, ArmA 2/3, Battlefield 2/ 2142, PlanetSide 2, Sins of the Solar Empire, Supreme Commander, and the Tom Clancy series. I've joined ModDB due to sharing the belief that 'modding' adds a new level and more value to the games we all buy and enjoy, and hope to provide useful, constructive feedback to the mods I take interest in.

Set in the distant future, Lost Dragons aims to provide a multiplayer total conversion experience for ArmA 3. Players find themselves members of corporate entities, sent to a planet beyond our solar system with the objective of recovering a "Dragon-class" aerial warship. These are old machines of war however, left abandoned as humanity fell during years past. Thus not only must the Dragon warship be found, it must be reactivated and repaired, all while an opposing team(s) tries to hinder and reverse said progress; multiple companies are now seeking such a rare prize.
Currently, a match will begin with players deployed alongside a C2C (command and control) vehicle, logistic assets, and light utility vehicles. That's not to say teams won't be without heavy firepower. Heavier armored vehicles, combat walkers, and light arms will be available to salvage from military bases, outposts, etc. Unfortunately these items will likely not be in the best of shape for any would-be owner, and will have to be repaired and rearmed as well. Once an asset is brought back to full working order however, the level of destruction it can bring to bear will likely make it worth the effort.
To complete the end-goal of the match (recovery of the Dragon), players must first find a "Warrior-class" warship to move and connect with the Dragon. This can be fulfilled through luck of stumbling across one while out and about, or recovering data packets that can give clues as to where one is located (there will be more than one Warrior on the map). A system that allows players to hack terminals will help in obtaining said packets.
While still a work in progress as of posting this blog (an alpha release is available), the Lost Dragons modification shows promise as an enjoyable science fiction addition to the Arma 3 engine once fully realized.

Mohd Harrif Salleh in a file photo. Racing with him for Terengganu Cycling are Anuar Manan, Adiq Husanie Othman, Mohd Saufi Mat Senan, Mohd Saiful Anuar Aziz and Mohd Zamri Salleh.
LANGKAWI: Terengganu cyclist Mohd Harrif Salleh still remembers the sweet memory of landing on the podium in the Le Tour de Langkawi (LTdL) for the first time in 2011 – when he finished third in the opening stage on the island.
Dazed and confused after finishing third behind South Korea's Park Sung-baek (KSPO) and winner Andrea Guardini of Italy (Astana) that year, Harrif struggled to find the right words to explain his feelings to excited journalists at the finish line.
But today, Harrif is more articulate in expressing his feelings. And the 25-year-old feels that he is up to the challenge for a stage win in this year's edition.
"I'm feeling good right now. In fact, I feel that my preparation is much better than last year. It was a horrible preparation last year because I was down with a toothache before the race and I could not push as hard as I wanted to," said Harrif, who had competed in the Herald Sun Tour in Australia from Feb 5-9.
During the Christmas period, he also took part in several criteriums in Melbourne as he trained with national track cycling coach John Beasley.
Harrif was even in the mix at the final section of Stage Three of the Sun Tour, only to realise that he and several other sprinters, including Matt Goss (Orica GreenEdge), had launched their sprint too early before the finish line. Harrif ended up 23rd in that stage.
"It was funny actually. The road was slightly curvy and we thought it was already near the finish line. We just looked down and sprinted our hearts out. What we thought to be the finish line was actually the 100m to the finish mark," said Harrif with a laughter.
Terengganu Cycling have arguably the best line-up this year since their inception in late 2010. Racing with Harrif are Anuar Manan, Adiq Husanie Othman, Mohd Saufi Mat Senan, Mohd Saiful Anuar Aziz and Mohd Zamri Salleh.
Anuar, returning to the team after his foray with Azerbaijan team Synergy Baku Cycling last year, looks set to assist Harrif in getting the stage win.
"Looking at our conditions right now, I would say Harrif would be the best bet to sprint to victory. If we were to go on a two-pronged attack – with me and Harrif – it could be difficult.
"Harrif has matured well since turning professional with the team in 2010 ... so I have faith in him," said Anuar, the former LTdL points competition winner.

Nov 15, 2011WHERE IS NUMBER 4??? This game series is loved, sells good and such. But this is so far the last made. What is sony thinking? They made this year ape escape move which is a horrible game. Where is number 4??? i would buy it in a heart beat!
Dec 23, 2013this game is really really awful. i've never played games as bad as the ape escape games and this one is the worst game out of them all. why do people like this game? its really crappy
Dec 8, 2013This is literally my favourite game ever. The game play is perfect in my opinion and is the most fun I've ever had with a video game. #MakeApeEscape4
By far the most slickly produced and gorgeously rendered version of the series, the pacing this time around is even more fluid than its predecessors – less an open-ended matter of hide and seek, and more focused on the stylish, dramatic pursuit and capture that its TV and silver-screen themes would seem to require. [Oct 2005, p.89]
The "GO-GO-TURBO Japanese cheerleaders on speed" mood and shallow, stupid puzzles are the sort of thing shut-in "Naruto" fans thrive on, but I found them irritating. Thankfully, it was short. [Feb 2006, p.108]
The main game, even in it`s short life, will provide enough entertainment for those who love this quirky, unique series for what it is: unabashed fun. [JPN Import]

Why Balance Transfer Checks Should Go Straight to Your Shredder
NEW YORK ( Creditnet) -- If you use credit cards, you should be accustomed to receiving balance transfer checks in the mail all the time. It's no secret that credit issuers love tempting their customers with quick money!
I get these types of checks from my credit card companies on a weekly basis, but they promptly end up in a shredder along with the rest of the junk mail that overflows from my tiny mailbox. In fact, I rarely even take the time to look at them anymore.
If you ever find yourself tempted to use a balance transfer check because an attractive 0% intro APR or some other feature sparks your interest, here are two major reasons why that check should quickly find its way to being fed into your shredder.
1. You can score a better 0% interest promotion elsewhere
Credit card issuers typically treat new customers much better than existing customers. This means that you should be able to find numerous credit card offers on the market with longer 0% interest promotions than what your credit issuer is willing to offer you in the form of a balance transfer check. If you're going to take advantage of a no interest promotion, you might as well take advantage of the longest one possible.
Balance transfer fees generally run from 3% to 5% when you use a balance transfer check, and that can certainly add up fast if you're writing a check for a large sum. However, if you have a decent credit score and are willing to add a new credit card to your wallet, you can actually avoid balance transfer fees altogether. For example,

Dogs' DNA May Aid Research on Hereditary Parkinson's
Gene mutation that affects both Tibetan Terriers and humans could lead to treatment advances
FRIDAY, April 22 (HealthDay News) -- The same gene mutation that causes a fatal neurological disease in Tibetan Terrier dogs also causes a hereditary form of Parkinson's disease in humans, a new study reports.
This finding, which was aided using the DNA of a Tibetan Terrier named Topper, could one day lead to a treatment for early-onset Parkinson's, according to the University of Missouri researchers.
When Topper reached the age of about 5 years, he began to show signs of behavioral changes, such as increased shyness. Soon after, he began to lose muscle control and then developed what his owner described as "terrible" seizures. After Topper was euthanized, his DNA was studied.
The investigators were able to use Topper's DNA to identify the gene mutation that causes adult-onset neuronal ceroid-lipofuscinosis (NCL) in Tibetan Terriers.
While the mutation causes NCL in these dogs, it also causes a hereditary form of Parkinson's disease in humans, the researchers say.
The findings mean that Tibetan Terriers can be tested for the gene mutation to prevent them from passing it to the next generation. It also may be possible to use dogs with the gene mutation to test experimental treatments for Parkinson's disease in humans, the researchers pointed out in the report published in the June issue of the journal Neurobiology of Disease.
"Dogs and people suffer from the same diseases, and it's much easier to discover gene issues in dogs because of the unique genetics of pure-bred dogs," Dennis OBrien, a professor in the veterinary medicine and surgery department, said in a university news release. "Because we have a medical school and veterinary school near each other, we can find the genes in the dog and then find out if they cause a similar disease in people."
Other symptoms that show up in Tibetan Terriers with the gene mutation, usually around age 5, include dementia, vision problems, loss of coordination and unprovoked aggression.

Another O/T post: work issues
Find a Conversation
|Fri, 05-13-2011 - 9:52am
Hi all,
Like Tranquility Goddess, I trust this "family" to give good advice about all sorts of things, so I'd be grateful if you could help me get a handle on my emotional reactions to some payment issues I've been having in my freelance writing business. I should add that such issues have been very rare in my 17 years of freelancing.
Two clients owe me money from March invoices -- about $4,000 each. I completed all deliverables on time and both companies have indicated they're happy with my work. I've made several polite attempts to get status updates on the invoices, to no avail. When I'm able to reach live people on the phone, they assure me they'll get back to me with a status update, but they don't. All told I've put in about 7 or 8 phone or email requests to each company.
As some of you know, there's little in this world that frustrates and outrages me more than being stonewalled. I'm getting very upset over all this and it's interfering with my work/personal life. Like some people who obsess over failed relationships, I have an irrational need to understand WHY they're behaving this way. It's hard for me to reconcile the behavior with my previous impressions of them as reasonable, ethical businesspeople.
So that's what I'm asking for help with: my runaway emotions. Any thoughts?
|Fri, 05-13-2011 - 2:05pm
You're a smart woman, so I am sure you've thought of this, but the economy being what it is, perhaps they just cannot AFFORD to pay you right now. You might want to draft a letter requesting a "payment plan" where they pay you a little each month until you are paid off. You can include a monthly service fee or interest if you want, and set up a late payment fee if they are late with their monthly payments. Make it clear that this will NOT be the way you are conducting business in the future, but as a one time courtesy you are willing to move forward on this debt in this manner. Then send a monthly invoice for the amount agreed to, and see what happens.
It would at least get you past the stonewalling if you could start this kind of thing rolling!
Hope this helps.
|Fri, 05-13-2011 - 3:59pm
I do like the payment plan idea, though, if they couldn't pay the bill, they shouldn't have taken the service. That they can't manage their bills, is really not your concern.
I'd say, a report to the Better Business Bureau. They don't "do" anything. But it will come up as a ding on their porfile if a customer or company is searching.
|Sat, 05-14-2011 - 7:09am
I've run consulting businesses (and consulted on a personal basis), so I'm wondering whether my experiences might help.
FIrst up, from a practical perspective, it sounds to me like the companies you're dealing with have cashflow problems.

Rated 4 out of 5 by 772 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Karl55 Exceeded Expectations Great location, great room and very comfortable bed; recent renovations were noticeable. Better experience than expected. October 3, 2012
Rated 2 out of 5 by tyson5 Disappointing for Hawaii standards We were in the hotel complex across the street and not in the main hotel area in a very remote room.We were told it was an upgrade... If it was an upgrade I hate to see the regular room... It was substandard, with a bathtub that was yucky. Bed was comfortable. The $25 daily resort fee covered the tennis courts which were awful. Cracked and the uneven with bad balls and the tennis rackets were hardly useable. The towels at the pool were torn and had holes . They ration out the towels one per person and the chairs were very uncomfortable .. The bar service at the pool took 1/2 hour to 45 min. to get food..Plus the bar closes at 5:30..really?? The fitness Center has 5 machines only and there is not even a gift shop... The Rum Fire restaurant was too loud and the food was too weird and not great. We did appetizers and could hardly eat any of them..There is no Spa except for two hotel rooms designated for massages...weird...No music pipped into the resort or live music in the bar... boring... The beach is spectacular at this resort but unless you have a beach view room the hotel is below average. I would not stay again and frankly I am surprised it is even an SPG hotel. November 25, 2012

Rated 3 out of 5 by rlreif In Soviet Russia, Hotel steals towels from YOU! Much of this property is great, and many of the staff are as well. The beach is lovely, the food is great, and the service in the restaurants, and pool are great. I was traveling with two infants and the maids took small towels that belong to us. Also the hotel screwed up our reservation, and required us to move (this is not easy with two infants). They claimed to have upgraded us for the first night to make up for it, but put us in an obvious out of order room with atrocious appointments. Fortunately the room we had originally booked, and moved into the second day was great. The front desk staff were not very good, especially Chris who was downright rude, which is a shame because it takes away from the other great staff of this property. Everyone in the F&B department, and valet/bell staff were phenomenal. When I asked for a late check out I was not only told no (which would haven been understandable) but told that I would have to leave even earlier than previously agreed. (this was eventually straightened out, but frustrating and unprofessional). Also when I asked to have a manager contact me, no one ever did. The property is nice, and has lots of potential, and could be recommended with just a little tweaking, but for the price I cannot recommend. April 17, 2014

Rated 4 out of 5 by Jen23 Amazing! just a few things missing I planned this trip to take my Grandmother on a vacation to her favorite of the Hawaiian Islands. She hasn't been in years and her last trip was with my Grandfather - who has since passed. The Sheraton was amazing and the staff was fantastic - always helpful and polite. The location was beautiful and provided a fabulous getaway. We had an ocean front room and it was just steps from the beach. There were just a few things missing - one was the fact that there were no chairs on the beach. My grandma is 75 and wanted to be down on the beach and relax, but it is difficult for her to get up and down while sitting in the sand and she needs something to rest her back. We ended up renting a chair for her one day, but that is an added expense that she did not want to pay and she ended up having to go back up to the room when she got tired and uncomfortable. Parking was also an issue sometimes... the lot closest to our room was very small and filled up quickly - so we had to park quite a ways away a few times - which was also a difficult walk for my grandma. Other than that however, our trip and stay was great. I do think we will book this hotel again, but only if we are NOT traveling with my grandma. November 12, 2012

Goldie Hawn has dismissed reports she told a journalist her daughter Kate Hudson had secretly wed her fiance, Muse frontman Matt Bellamy, insisting: "They aren't married."
RELATED: Did Kate Hudson Quietly Tie the Knot?
The "Overboard" star was quoted in Britain's ES magazine as saying: "When my daughter Kate married an English rock star it didn't worry me; all that matters [is] that the relationship is a good one. What people do is not necessarily who they are."
RELATED: Celebritots With Unusual Names
Her remarks were picked up worldwide, prompting a Twitter user to ask Hawn, "So are kate and Matt really married, or are the press twisting your words.....as they do.....again!"
The actress noticed the tweet and quickly responded, "Darling once again (sic) twisted the truth. They aren't married. Baby they never get it right!!"

British-born Bellamy proposed to Hudson last spring, just months before she gave birth to their son, Bingham, in July (11), but the actress insisted they were in no rush to exchange vows.

Minister's son who died recently was riding without headgear too
A software engineer and an engineering graduate died in a road accident on Flag Staff Road on Saturday night after the two-wheeler they were travelling on hit a van coming from the opposite side. Police said the duo was not wearing helmets.
According to police, Jayaraman (21), a software engineer and his friend Jeevabharati (21) who just completed engineering were Vyasarpadi residents.
On Saturday, Jayaraman was riding the bike and the two were headed towards Royapettah. They reached Flag Staff Road around 8.10 p.m when a van coming from the opposite direction rammed the two-wheeler. Both Jayaraman and Jeevabharati fell on the road and sustained head injuries. They died on the spot.
The van driver Natarajan (50) was headed to War Memorial and lost control as he was speeding, said Rajasekaran, Elephant Gate traffic investigation inspector. He was arrested. "The bikers could have escaped with injuries had they worn helmets," said Mr. Rajasekaran.
According to police, 25 per cent of all fatal accidents that occur in the city involve two-wheelers, and in 96 per cent of the cases, the rider is helmet-less. "The sad part is that even educated youngsters fail to understand the importance of wearing the helmet," said a police officer.
Last month, Tamizh Mani, son of Co-operation Minister Sellur. K. Raju, died in a road accident. He was not wearing a helmet at the time.
Though Chennai Traffic Police has fined over three lakh motorists for helmet-less travel till date, they are often found flouting the rule. "One should think of the agony caused to family members, before breaking the rule," said Sivanantham, deputy commissioner of police, traffic planning.
He said Chennai Traffic Police were roping in school children to spread awareness. "People tend to heed little children's words," he said.
Meanwhile, early on Sunday, an unidentified man was run over by a vehicle at Anna Salai-Pallavan Salai junction. Police said the pavement dweller was crossing the road when the accident happened.

This was my HG until Lash Blast came out! I really liked the lengthening and seperating aspect of the mascara, but it didnt add quite enough volume, so I found I had to add 3-4 coats.
If you want length and seperation, but this.
If you want volume, dont
This is my staple mascara - I'm not looking for much extra length or volume, just to darken the blond tips of my lashes. It looks just like my lashes, but better, and never clumps, unlike the CG professional waterproof mascara I also use.
I am surprised I never reviewed this product. This has been one of my mascara staples for over 5 years now. I generally have 2 mascaras on the go, 1 for day looks and one for evening. I prefer this one for my day look- it's a great dry formula with a small brush that combs through every lash, coating them evenly. I would describe this mascara as the type to emphasize and magnify what you have- for me it emphasizes the curl and adds thickness with minimal length, while keeping it natural and not 'glamourous fake lashes.'
Happy Shopping!
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I'm usually really picky when it comes to mascaras, but this one is extremely good! I'm sure that there's better out there, but for now, this will be my favourite. It does a better job than lash blast, and with one stroke of mascara it lengthens my lashes so much! I will definitely buy this again.

I liked this mascara. It doesnt clump and it gave me a nice clean defined look to my lashes, which i like. I'm a girl who on most days like a nice natural look to my lashes a bit of volume and length and on other days just volume. Beware: it doesnt hold the curl well but it would hold better if you get the waterproof version.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
This mascara was okay- i felt like i had to put a lot of it on to even see any difference. The brush is neat looking but I think I need a brush with more bristles and longer bristles as well. I have very short lashes and this didn't seem to do what I wanted.
Great mascara! Love it! Good for getting all of your lashes, gives length and suprisingly volume :)
I love this mascara. It separates and gives volume to my lashes. I would buy this again.
This is a really great mascara, I love the wand, gives me nice length, stays on with no flaking or clumping. I usually keep a tube of this in my stash.
This is probably the best quality store brand mascara I've used. Easy to apply, doesn't flake, doesn't clump, stays on all day, separates the lashes evenly and adds some length...especially to my bottom lashes. Love this!!

9 judges charged with Philadelphia ticket fixingSubmitted by meekandmild on Thu, 01/31/2013 - 19:17
Nine judges who presided at Philadelphia traffic court were charged with fixing tickets for friends and political allies in a sweeping federal indictment that alleged pervasive, but covert, corruption in the courthouse.
Federal officials alleged "a widespread culture of giving breaks on traffic citations to friends, family, the politically-connected and business associates," but defense attorneys suggested the accused made no money from the favors and that the court has worked that way for a century.

New Walden University Video Explores Global Perspectives on Social Change
The interviews were conducted in Washington, D.C., and include the viewpoints of residents from California, Connecticut, Florida, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Hampshire, New Jersey Maryland, South Carolina, Texas, Vermont and Washington, D.C. Additional viewpoints from residents of England, Germany, Iceland, Turkey and Venezuela are also featured.
The video complements Walden's recently released 2012 Social Change Impact Report, which found that global economic conditions impact positive social change and that nonprofits and individuals have roles in the future of social change. Walden commissioned Harris Interactive to conduct this online survey to discover the current state of social change in the U.S. and around the world.
The 2012 Social Change Impact Report is the second in an annual series that was designed to provide a barometer of who is engaged in social change, what is important to them and how they work together to advance social change issues of interest now and in the future. The report includes attitudes, behaviors and motivations from Americans as well as members of the international community.

Species description
|It has been suggested that this article be merged with Species naming. (Discuss) Proposed since January 2014.
A species description or type description[citation needed] is a formal description of a newly discovered species, usually in the form of a scientific paper. Its purpose is to give a clear description of a new species of organism and explain how it differs from species which have been described previously, or are related. The species description also contains photographs or other illustrations of the type material and explains in which museums the holotype (and other types such as paratypes) have been deposited. The publication in which the species is described gives the new species a formal scientific name. Today, some 1.9 million species have been discovered and named and some 8.7 million may actually exist on Earth.[1]
It is customary for scientists to introduce all relevant new findings and research in a scientific paper, which is scrutinised by other scientists (peer review) and, if accepted, published in a scientific journal of the appropriate discipline; this applies to the discovery and naming of a new species or other taxon. In many cases the scientific community will not formally accept the existence of a new species until a species description has been published, even when it may seem obvious that the species is indeed new.
History of species descriptions[edit]
Early biologists often published entire volumes or multiple-volume works of descriptions in an attempt to catalog all known species. These catalogs typically featured extensive descriptions of each species and were often illustrated upon reprinting.
The first of these large catalogs was Aristotle's History of Animals, published around 343 B.C. Aristotle included descriptions of creatures, mostly fish and invertebrates, in his homeland, and several mythological creatures rumored to live in far-away lands, such as the manticore.
In 77 A.D. Pliny the Elder dedicated several volumes of his Natural History to the description of all life forms he knew to exist. He appears to have read Aristotle's work, since he writes about many of the same far-away mythological creatures.
Toward the end of the 12th century, Konungs skuggsjá, an Old Norse philosophical didactic work, featured several descriptions of the whales, seals, and monsters of the Icelandic seas. These descriptions were brief and often erroneous, and a description of the mermaid and a rare island-like sea monster called Hafgufu was included. The author was hesitant to mention the beast (known today to be fictitious) for fear of its size, but felt it was important enough to be included in his descriptions.[2]
However, the earliest recognized species authority is Linnaeus, who standardized the modern taxonomy system beginning with his Systema Naturae in 1735.[3]
As the catalog of known species was increasing rapidly, it became impractical to maintain a single work documenting every species. Publishing a paper documenting a single species was much faster and could be done by scientists with less broadened scopes of study. For example, a scientist who discovered a new species of insect would not need to understand plants, or frogs, or even insects which did not resemble the species; he would only need to understand closely related insects.
Modern species descriptions[edit]
Formal species descriptions today follow strict guidelines set forth by the Codes of nomenclature. Very detailed formal descriptions are made by scientists, who usually study the organism closely for a considerable time. A diagnosis may be used instead of,[4] or as well as[5] the description. A diagnosis specifies the distinction between the new species and other species.
Rates of species description[edit]
According to the RetroSOS report,[6] the following numbers of species have been described each year since 2000.
Year Total number of species descriptions New insect species described 2000 17,045 8,241 2001 17,003 7,775 2002 16,990 8,723 2003 17,357 8,844 2004 17,381 9,127 2005 16,424 8,485 2006 17,659 8,994 2007 18,689 9,651 2008 18,531 9,020 2009 19,232 9,738

"The material covered in LSSU's engineering program provided me a solid foundation for graduate studies. The systematic approach and communication skills needed to tackle engineering projects were taught and then practiced over and over again. In particular I appreciate the many hours spent by the faculty to develop oral presentation skills in each student. As a graduate student now, these skills have proven to be highly beneficial and, to my surprise, obviously not taught to the same extent at many other universities."

Established in 1946 to address the needs of returning World War II veterans and to provide educational opportunities to the people of the Eastern Upper Peninsula, Lake Superior State University still embodies the essence of the early days. A personal education in a safe and friendly environment remains a hallmark of today's LSSU.
Our beautiful 115-acre campus overlooks the Michigan and Ontario twin cities of Sault Ste. Marie, the St. Mary's River, and the world famous Soo Locks.
The campus served as Fort Brady starting in 1893 after the fort was relocated from the banks of the St. Mary's. The fort was deactivated in 1944 and, thanks to the efforts of local volunteers and leadership at Michigan College of Mining & Technology in Houghton, opened in the fall of that year as the Sault Ste. Marie Residence Center of MCMT. The Sault Branch was rechristened Lake Superior State College of Michigan Technical University in 1966. Autonomy arrived for LSSC in 1970. University status was granted in 1987 to the state's smallest public institution of higher learning.

Specification of Letters Patent. Patented May 26, 1914.-
. Application filed May 22, 1913. Serial No. 769,225.
tible of application to closures of diverse type, has to do and is herein described in connection with the manufacture of what is generally known as the crown seal cork or cap.
Prior to the attachment of such closures tobottles the flanged corrugated cap is provided with an inserted packing disk usually of cork and some provision is required to be made for holding the disk in place. It has been proposed to interpose adhesive be tween the top of the cap and the cork and by heating and simultaneously pressing the disk into contact with the softened adhesive to effect an attachment between the disk and the cap. By my invention I avoid the disadvantage of having present an adhesive With the associated danger of deleteriously affecting the stored contents of the bottle and also reduce the expense of manufacture by doing away with the labor and mechanism necessary to the heating and pressing of the caps. Iaccomplish this result by compressing the caps centripetally upon the inserted disk so as to lock the same in position within the cap. In the accompanying drawings and in the following detailed description based thereon I set forth two forms of mechanism for carrying out my invention. It is to be understood that the invention is capable of further modification without departure from the essence thereof or the sacrifice of its material advantages wherefore the drawings and description are to be taken in an illustrative and not in an unnecessarily limiting sense. I
In the drawings Figure 1is a central vertical section through the essential portion of the machine adapted for carrying out the invention; Fig. 2"is a fragmentary horizontal section on the line 2-2 of Fig. 1; Fig. 3 is a vertical section on the line 33 of Fig.- 1; Figs. 4 and 5 are fragmentary v tical sections through the punched die fro 'of the and cap showing two different stages in the operation; Fig. 6 is a vertical section showing diagrammatically the successive steps of the operation carried out in a different form of machine; Fig. 7 is a vertical sectionon the line 77 of F ig. 6; Figs. 8 and .9 are fragmentary vertical sections through the die, punch and cap showing successive stages of the operation; and Fig. 10 is a detail plan view of the die cover plate.
Having particular reference to Figs. 1 to V 5 inclusive the reference numeral 11 designates a die having the stepped opening 12, the initial portion 13 of which is inwardly converging as indicated. The entrance of the portion 13 of the opening is of substantially the same interior diameter as the exterior diameter of the flangel of the crown cap indicated generally by 15, while the walls gradually converge until the final diameter of the portion 13 is slightly less than the exterior diameter of the said flange.
With the die 11 is arranged to cooperate a reciprocatory plunger 16 having a. head 17 of an exterior diameter somewhat less than the normal interior diameter of the cap '15, the said head 17 being of a length sufiicientto enter the cap 15 and Slightly compress the cork disk 18 before the face 19 of the plunger contacts with the outer face of the flange 14 of the cap.
Secured upon the front face of the die 11 is a guide pocket 20 adapted to receive and hold a cap in the position indicated in Fig. 1 at the entrance to the opening of the die, the outer wall of thepocket being provided with an opening 21 for the passage to and lun placed within this pocket by hand one at a time, or they may be deposited therein by 'means of a gravity chute 22 which is of sufficient interior dimensions to allow the passage freely of the caps one at a time under the influence of gravity... In order to provide for the feeding of the caps from the chute step by step or one at a time to the pocket 20 I provide in connection with the lower portion of the chute a feeding device which comprises two superposed pairs .of rods 23 and 24 the members of each pair arranged side byside and intersecting the edges of the chute. The opposed inner faces of the upper pair are in their forward portion cut away as indicated at 25 so as to allow sufficient space for the passage therebetween of a cap 15 while the opposed indiate cap.
ner faces of the lower pair 24 are similarly cut away as indicated at 26, the cutaway portions and 26 of the two pairs being however, out of register vertically. The rods 23 and 24 are fixed upon a bracket 27 carried by reciprocating member 28 which also carries the plunger 16 whereby the rods 23 and 24L and the plunger 16 move in synchronism.
It will be understood that having reference to Figs. 1 and 3 the lowermost cap 15 occupies a position in front of the plunger at the entrance to the die while the next cap is supported upon the arms 24: and the uppermost cap is supported by the interme- As the plunger 16 moves to the left the head 17 contacts with the cork disk 18 and carries the cap into the portion 13 of the die. The frictional engagement of the flange 1 1 with the walls of the die while bemg supported by the face 19 of the plunger agamst backward bending will centripetally compress the cap as it moves through the die whereby the flanged walls of the cap are in a sense upset inwardly upon the periphery of the disk so as to secure the same within the cap. Themovement of the plunger continues until the cap is forced into the enlarged or stepped rear portion of the die opening whence it is discharged in any approved manner. When the plunger completes its stroke the cut away portion 26 of the rods 24 is brought beneath the intermediate cap in the feed chute permitting such cap to drop therethrough into the pocket upon the top of the plunger while the upper cap illustrated is supported by rods 23. As the plunger moves backward the second cap drops ofl the end of the same to a position in line with the plunger and die while the third cap drops through the cut away portions 25 of the rods 23 to the position formerly occupied by the second cap, being supported by the pair of rods 24,.and other caps in the feed chute are progressively fed forward in the same manner.
In Figs. 6 to-l0 inclusive is illustrated a slightl different form of mechanism for carrying out the same operation. In these figures'the die is designated at 30 and the v plungerat'31, the head 32 of the plunger having the same relation with regard to size as that previously described, it having a less exterior diameter than the interior diameter of the cap 15 and a. length sufficient to contact with and compress the cork disk 18 slightly before the forward face 33 of the plunger reaches the outer face of the flange l4. Herein is illustrated in a diagrammatic manner the feeding of the caps horizontally to the die and also the successive steps of supplying to the caps an insulating lining and the cark disks. As this portion of the mechanism forms no part of the present invention the same is illustrated in a general way only, the caps being fed by successive stages beneath the plungers 3 1 and 35 by which in turn the insulating lining 36 and the cork disk 18 are inserted in the caps. A reoipro catory. feed slide 37 is provided with spring pressed pawls 38 which engage behind the caps and as the slide moves forward to the right carries the caps o a position beneath the plungers. When the plungers descend and enter the caps the slide 37 makes its return stroke, the caps being held by their plungers and the pawls 38 passing beneath and then springing upward into engagement with the next cap. After the lining and the packing disk have been inserted the cap is fed into register with the opening 39 of the cover plate 40 which overlies the entrance to the die 30, the flanges of the disk being guided within the grooves 41 of the said plate. Having reached this position the plunger 31 descends forcing the cap through the die and as in the former case, compressing the walls of the same radially inward'upon the disk so as to grip the packing disk peripherally and retain the parts in position.
The insulating lining 36 may or may not be employed. 1f employed it may consist of a paraflined sheet of paper to prevent any chance contact between the stored liquid and the metal of the cap, or instead of using such a lining a suitable lacquer may be applied to the inner face of the cap before the packing disk is inserted, in which case a lacquer should be employed which is chemically inert so that no action will take place between the lacquer and the metal, or between the lacquer and the liquid contents of the receptacle upon which the ca is used as a closure. In many respects tlie employment of a chemically inert lacquer is more desirable than a separate lining and some such insulating medium is always desirable to effectually safeguard the cap and contents againstinjurious reactions.
I claim:
1. An apparatus for securing a packing in a flanged bottle-sealing cap, comprising a die, a reciprocatory plunger for the die, a chute leading to the die, a reciprocatory feed device for the chute, the paths of the plun-- and synchronously operating the plunger and the feed device.
2. An apparatus for securing a packing in a flanged bottle-sealing cap, comprising a die, having a die opening, a reciprocatony plunger working through the die opening, an upper pair and a lower pair of feed rods piercing t e chute and reciprocating therethrough in the path of caps in the chute, the feed rods being reduced at their inner faces to permit the passage of a cap therebetween, the reduced portions of the upper pair of rods being in register with the chute when the plunger is out of the die, the reduced portions of the lower rods being in register with the chute when the plunger .is in the die, and a reciprocatory member car rying the plunger and the feed rods and synchronously operating the plunger and the feed rods.
3. An apparatus for securing a packing in a flanged bottle-sealing cap, comprising a die having an inwardly-tapering die opening,
and a plunger working through the larger end of said opening and having a diameter less than the internal diameter of the cap, the longest diameter of the-tapering die opening being at least as long as the longest di ameter ofthe flange of the cap, whereby the outermost peripheral edge portion of the flange of the cap will initially engage the walls of the die opening and continue to engage the same throughout the passage of the cap through the die andbe forced inwardly by the wedging action of the converging walls of the die opening.
