Wine and Spirits Distributor Expands in Nebraska
By John Keenan, Omaha World-Herald, Neb.
Jan. 29–Republic National Distributing Co. has become the majority investor in Nebraska Wine & Spirits and has signed a letter of intent to acquire an interest in Omaha's Republic Beverage Co., formerly United Distillers Products Co.
Local management teams will remain in place at both operations, according to press releases from Republic National.
The release quotes Republic Beverage president Ted Friedland as saying that Republic National was "the clear choice to ensure that our employees, customers and supplier partners would have a bright future."
Republic Beverage Co., as United Distillers Products Co., has been in Omaha since 1893.
Nebraska Wine & Spirits, which will become RNDC-Nebraska, has 108 employees statewide. It was founded in 1975.
Paul Epstein, who will serve as chief executive officer for the new company, said he was "thrilled to be part of a fabulous, growing organization that has the same passion for our business as the Epstein family and its employees." He is the son of Nebraska Wine & Spirit founder Harold Epstein.
Representatives from both Nebraska Wine & Spirits and Republic Beverage Co. declined to comment further.
Some local restaurant owners had been aware of the change, which was announced to the beverage trade press last week.
Told that local management teams would remain in place at both distributors, Matt Stamp of V. Mertz said "I certainly hope so. . . . We've forged relationships with a lot of those people.
"We're a local restaurant, and we like to do business with people locally," he said.
Dee Graves of Piccolo's said she has been working with the same Republic Beverage Co. and RNDC-Nebraska salespeople as she did before the acquisitions.
"When they don't know you as a buyer, it's a lot harder," she said, adding that so far, the transition has worked well.
Republic National is the second-largest distributor of premium wine and spirits in the United States, with wholly or partly owned operations in 18 states, including Nebraska, and the District of Columbia.
"We are happy to be entering Nebraska and believe there is a good opportunity for growth in the market," Tom Cole, president of Republic National, said in the press release.
Cole could not be reached Monday afternoon for further comment.

Personally I don't think there is any issue with you posting your app.
However, I would personally not post a link to where you can find his kernel and just refer to a Google search to find it, as his work is not permitted on XDA as he does not follow XDA rules.

New gun laws not needed
It is sad that the ôanti-gun leftö has to manufacture polling data to support its cause.
The claim that 90 percent of Americans support stricter gun control is a flat-out lie. Where did they take this supposed poll, New York City?
U.S. Sen. Rob Portman is taking heat for not supporting the recent ôfeel-goodö legislation that failed. He did the right thing.
I, for one, do not support any new gun control legislation. Why? Because it does not work.
Restricting and/or complicating law-abiding citizensĺ ability to buy and sell firearms does nothing to stem the problem of gun violence. Ignoring the facts seem to be the common theme of recently proposed legislation.
In almost every case, criminals have obtained firearms illegally. New laws do not affect criminals.
How about enforcing the current laws? Why is it that mandatory sentences for gun crimes (crimes committed with a gun specification) are almost always ôbargained awayö by prosecutors? What does a repeat, violent offender have to bargain with?
Recent legislation proposed by Attorney General Mike DeWine makes much more sense. Double the minimum sentence for repeat violent offenders. Keep the people incarcerated who are committing the majority of the violent (gun) crimes.
We need to refund Mental Health facilities. Most all the perpetrators of senseless crimes such as Sandy Hook Elementary School have exhibited symptoms of mental health disorders.
No legislation will ever eliminate violent crime. Pretending that it will is just wishful thinking and a waste of our legislatorsĺ time.
Ś Steve Burkholder, Lima

About this time every year, secular progressive come forth to question our national heritage and our icons of Christianity. Their view is that we have no cultural heritage, that we have stolen everything from the British, French, Indians Mexican, Spanish, etc. Firstly there has been no culture that was instantly transplanted by the stars. All cultures are an evolutionary process. Roman culture and religion evolved from the Greeks, the Persians, Phoenicians and the Etruscans.
So when the Seculars say it is not a Christmas tree, it is a Holiday tree, there is truth historically. Some say it was a pagan symbol used by early German tribes. Others say it was used by the Romans and Egyptians.
The history of Christianity, our symbols and icons dates back more than 4,000 years. Many of our Christian traditions were celebrated centuries before the Christ child was born. The 12 days of Christmas, the giving of gifts, the holiday feasts can be traced back to early Mesopotamians. The Persians and Babylonians celebrated a similar festival called the Sacaea. The return of the sun to Scandinavia started the festival of Yuletide. The Romans started "Deck The Halls," nevertheless we have pulled together many icons to create a unique American Judo-Christian culture. For those that attack that culture, they need more love in their life.
We need to love America, love our history, love our culture and love our God.

The Rockcity Welfare Association has been helping thousands of needy students in Tiruchi get a head start in higher studies with its book bank
Diamond Bazaar in Tiruchi promises to be a place full of, well, precious rocks. But there's something even more priceless meticulously coded and stacked in alphabetical order in this busy lane of jewellery showrooms and gemstone merchants. This is the book bank run by the Rockcity Welfare Association (RWA), that has helped over 18,000 needy college students since 16 years.
A 50-strong group whose members are mostly north Indian businessmen, RWA (now registered as a trust) had tried its hand at other social initiatives like free food distribution and blood donation drives before focusing on the education sector in 1998, says Mr. Ashok D. Gandhi, chairman of the book bank since its inception.
"We were inspired by the Rajasthan Youth Association of Chennai that has been maintaining its book bank project for the past 50 years," says Mr. Gandhi, who is also a dealer in synthetic diamonds and other gem stones. "[Giving text-books] is better than giving money to poor children because it might make them lazy or it may get misused. With the book bank's help, they can study on their own and learn to be self-reliant and support their families after graduation."
Shortlist of students
Around 1500 undergraduates from arts and science courses are enrolled with the book bank every year. From 2013, the RWA has extended its reach to engineering colleges as well, with 100 students from five institutions already on the rolls.
The programme shortlists academically bright students based on the recommendations of college faculty and Plus Two exam results. Each potential member is then interviewed by an RWA committee before the finalist is announced.
"We have had to turn away many students because of fund constraints," says Mr. Gandhi. "But this year, we have received a cash boost of Rs. 3 lakhs from our local Member of Parliament Mr. P.Kumar, that has enabled us to serve engineering students as well."
Syllabus headaches
Once registered, the student receives the prescribed text-books free of charge that have to be returned at the end of the semester. With the constant changes in syllabus, maintaining updated book lists is a challenge.
"Very often the students request our library staff for specific texts, which we try and procure for them. We also keep reviewing our lists," says Mr. Gandhi.
The problem gets a little more complicated when it comes to engineering courses, says Mr. Gandhi, as the colleges here prefer to prescribe text-books by local authors which are costlier than the standard texts recommended by the Anna University. "It's an irony that that the local author text-books cost more, even though publishers sell them at a discount to the colleges," says Mr Gandhi. "Most first-year students are forced by college managements to buy the text-books at a hiked rate."
Maintaining the stock
A set of six to seven text-books given to each student costs around Rs1500 for arts and science courses. Engineering course books are costlier, and RWA is anticipating to spend around Rs.2000-2500 per student. A text-book has a 'shelf life' of around seven to eight years.
What happens when books get damaged? "We collect book-binding charges from the student," replies Mr. Gandhi. "If the book is lost, we ask the student to buy a new copy for us."
Electronic books, already making inroads in publishing abroad, are not yet on the RWA's radar, says Mr. Gandhi. "E-books are being used only in a few engineering colleges in India, but at the end of the day, there's nothing to beat the hardbound text-book."
The organisation's website has helped garner interest from the public, particularly from those who want to donate their old books. "For local donors, we collect the books personally from them, while those from outside Tiruchi can send theirs by post." But RWA prefers not to shop for books online, because the discounts are nominal when compared to traditional book publishers.
Knowledge repository
We visit the book bank's premises a short walk down from Mr. Gandhi's office in Diamond Bazaar. Currently housed in a building that was previously a lodge, the library is looked after by two staff who are also in charge of computerising the book lists periodically.
"Right now we are maintaining only hard copy files of our students, because we don't have the budget for full-scale digital conversion," explains Mr. Gandhi.
The RWA also recognises the efforts of its students by felicitating those beneficiaries who have done well in exams. Colleges with the most number of book bank toppers are also given a rolling trophy.
Future plans include courses that will offer soft skills training and vocational guidance to needy students. English fluency courses and job placement assistance are also being mulled.
"Many times, children from a poor family background have no parental authority in their life — for such kids, even attending college is a very difficult thing to do. Our books are a boon for them," concludes Mr. Gandhi.

Snyder: Detroit consent agreement means 'positive opportunity'
Gov. Rick Snyder says the approval of a deal between the state and the city of Detroit is a "positive opportunity" for the city and the entire state of Michigan.
Snyder says in a statement Wednesday that a lot of work remains to fix the city's struggling finances and difficult decisions lie ahead. But he says he wants to build on the "spirit of cooperation" to act in the "city's long-term interests."
Snyder's expected to formally accept the review team's recommendations and the deal struck with the city Thursday.
Under the agreement, Mayor Dave Bing and City Council retain authority over finances and the city budget. A nine-member appointed advisory board will monitor the finances and work with Bing on the city's fiscal restructuring.
Detroit faces a $200 million deficit.

These are, apparently, delicious. At least, that's what the look on her face says as she settles down for a chew. These are strong, don't splinter, long lasting- everything a human would want in a bone for the dog.

Minnesota Master Naturalist is EXCITED to welcome Sam Ham to Minnesota for an environmental interpretation presentation
The Minnesota Master Naturalist program will welcome Dr. Sam Ham to Minnesota for a environmental interpretation presentations on July 21-22, 2015 in Mankato MN.
In two-hour keynote address on July 21, Dr. Ham will draw on recent advances in communication research to pose some questions about the "endgame" of interpretation--when is interpretation "successful?", what does professional "excellence" in interpretation look like?, and how would you recognize it? Interpreters who want their work to make a difference have a great advantage when they can envision the pathways through which making their difference can plausibly happen. And seeing these pathways is far easier when you have a clear sense of interpretation's endgame.
In a July 22 workshop, open only to Master Naturalist Instructors, Dr. Ham will lead participants through a series of practical exercises that they can use to train others in thematic interpretation. These exercises will emphasize how to think thematically, how to distinguish between strong and weak themes, and how to craft strong themes that will provoke an audience to think. Ham will also introduce the "zone of tolerance" idea and explain why it is needed to know how "successful" a thematic interpretive product is.
Dr. Sam Ham is Professor Emeritus of communication psychology and international conservation in the University of Idaho's Department of Conservation Social Sciences. Sam's research has focused on the role of interpretation in parks, protected areas and sustainable tourism destinations and in applying communication theory to heritage and nature-based tour guiding, travelers' philanthropy, and other free-choice learning settings.
Master Naturalist instructors can attend these events for FREE (all expenses covered by Bertha Lewis Trust Fund)
All others are invited to the evening Keynote program for a plated dinner and evening with Sam Ham! Students $20, General registration $40.
The NSF-Funded Driven to Discover: Enabling Authentic Inquiry Through Citizen Science project was featured this week in a story about the SciGirls television show. The PBS NewsHour show briefly highlighted how citizen science is helping to involve young women to explore and observe their natural surroundings, learn and participate in scientific data collection, and even answer their own scientific questions.
You can learn more about the Driven to Discover project on the University of Minnesota Extension Citizen Science website. You can also watch a short video about the project.
National Public Lands Day was first held in 1994 with three federal agencies and 700 volunteers. The event is now hosted by the National Environmental Education Foundation, each year on the last Saturday in September. Nationally in 2014 over 2000 individual sites were registered to participate. Minnesota, Master Naturalist co-sponsored 10 sites across the state. Each site had a different activity to be accomplished.
At Itasca State Park, volunteers bud capped approximately 23 acres of red, white, and jack pine seedlings near the north entrance to the park and around the Mary Gibbs Headwaters Center. Participating in the crew were, 68 people, including 2 DNR staff, 4 Minnesota Master Naturalist volunteers, 49 students at the University of Minnesota Crookston, and 13 members of the UMC faculty, staff, or their affiliates.
Picture: Bud capping crew at Itasca State Park
In Rochester, Master Naturalist hosted two locations. Volunteers at Indian Heights Park worked on buckthorn removal. Volunteers at Chester Woods County Park hosted a crew who hand collected prairie seed.
Metro sites included Crow Hassan Park, where volunteers hand collected prairie seeds; and Carver Park, where volunteers removed woods invasives, mostly bittersweet and buckthorn. Minnesota Valley Wildlife Refuge site volunteers removed invasives and worked on site prep for a pollinator planting. Afton State Park had a crew working native seed collection and buckthorn removal. William Berry Woods hosted a buckthorn bust.

Master Naturalist volunteers at Lake Vermillion State Park/Soudan Underground Mine State Park worked on a timber stand improvement project. This included GPS locating trees and bud capping seedlings for winter protection.
Northland Arboretum volunteers worked on removing Japanese Knotweed and cleaning up the memorial garden and Scout garden areas.
National Public Lands Day was coordinated and sponsored by the Minnesota Master Naturalist Program that provided lunch and a t-shirt to all participants. The University of Minnesota provided transportation for the students and faculty from Crookston. There were 10 sites across Minnesota that participated in the event and hosted 186 volunteers who recorded 781 hours of volunteer service valued at $18,986.
Fish, Wildlife and Conservation Education Specialist, Dr. Karen Oberhauser was featured in an KARE 11 story about the role of Minnesota Citizen Science in understanding the migration of Monarch butterflies. The story highlighted the new Butterfly House at the Science Museum of Minnesota, and associated Omnitheater film, Flight of the Butterflies. Oberhauser was an advisor on the film. She noted that the movie "not only captures the biology, but also this incredible human story," illustrated by one of the citizen scientists who tagged Monarchs for a research study at University of Minnesota. "This tag, a tag that was put on by Minnesota students and a Minnesota teacher, was the first one that Fred Erkhadt found in the over wintering sites when he went there. So it's a great connection with Minnesota," Oberhauser explained on KARE 11.

Many Fish, Wildlife and Conservation Education programs focus on empowering and supporting citizen science about Minnesota's environment. The Guardian recently published a brief Guide to Becoming a Citizen Scientist by BBC-famed scientist, Brian Cox. Cox aptly points out the critical need for citizen science: We have access to so much data in the modern age, but not enough professional scientists to analyze it all. However, there is amazing, largely untapped scientific potential in our interested citizenry. Today, we can all assume a critical role in the wonder of scientific research. Cox points out, "The real thrill of citizen science is being able to look at something no one has ever seen before, or discover something that no one knew about. I can try to describe that feeling, but it's not until you experience it for yourself that you'll understand the wonder. It's why people become scientists."
Cox points out a few large-scale and smaller, personal ways that you can get started in citizen science. He also briefly discusses the history and value of citizen scientific research. Fish, Wildlife and Conservation Education staff have likewise published a series of informative videos about citizen science on the University of Minnesota Extension YouTube Channel. The video What is Citizen Science provides a short description of the history and reason for citizen scientific research.

An October 4 Invasive Blitz training at Duluth's Hartley Nature Center trained a group of northern Minnesota volunteers to prevent the spread of Invasive Species. Watch FWCE Educator, Andrea Strauss, discuss the event on Duluth television news.
Invasive species such as buckthorn, garlic mustard and wild parsnip pose serious threats to Minnesota's natural resources, ecosystems, and economy. Participants in the one day workshop learned the impact of invasive species in Minnesota. They learned to identify and remove/treat selected problem species, and provide follow-up management and monitoring. Participants also practiced planning a community project to mobilize organizations and clubs for invasive plant removal projects as part of an annual statewide "Invasive Blitz" event.
Congratulations to all of the northland participants, ready to tackle a critical Minnesota conservation issue!
How do the cosmos and citizen science relate? Citizen scientists have been playing important roles in astronomy for a long time, discovering objects in the night sky, mapping our cosmos, helping to analyze large amounts of data. But, a recent post in the National Geographic Star Struck blog described how an 1833 meteor storm started citizen science. While our Extension video draws a different origin point for citizen science in America, this meteor story does describe an early scientist recognition of the power of 'crowdsourcing' scientific observation and analysis. We citizen scientists can accomplish some amazing feats of science when working in coordination.

Minnesota Master Naturalists are preparing to make an impact on Minnesota's Public Lands. National Public Lands Day (NPLD) is our nation's largest single day of public service for our public lands. According to the NPLD website, the event began in 1994, involving service from 700 volunteers. Last year, the event involved "more than 175,000 volunteers and park visitors celebrated at 2,237 public land sites in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Guam and Puerto Rico."
Minnesota Master Naturalist will be hosting service events statewide on the 2014 National Public Lands Day - Sept 27. Events will take place statewide at locations large and small - Itasca State park, Quarry Hill Nature Center, the Northland Arboretum, and Minnesota Valley National Wildlife Refuge. We look forward to this day of service with an engaged group of statewide volunteers.
Visit the National Public Lands Day website to learn more about the day of service. Visit the Minnesota Master Naturalist website to learn more about the volunteer training and service program.
Become a leader in reducing the invasive species in your community! We are calling all volunteers from the Minnesota Master Naturalist, Master Gardener, Forest Pest First Detector and other programs. As you know, invasive species such as buckthorn, garlic mustard and wild parsnip pose serious threats to Minnesota's natural resources, ecosystems, and economy. We want YOU to join in a statewide effort to tackle the growing problem of invasive species.
Sign up for a one-day workshop (qualifies as Advanced Training or continuing education hours) from 8:00 A.M. to 4:00 P.M. on Saturday, September 13, 2014 in Spicer, MN. You will learn the impact of invasive species in Minnesota and be trained to identify and remove/treat selected problem species and provide follow-up management and monitoring. We will help you plan a local project that will mobilize organizations and clubs you belong to so you can host local invasive plant removal projects as part of an annual statewide "Invasive Blitz" event. You may even wish to adopt a local natural area (park, woodlot, camp, retreat center, etc.) you can regularly monitor and provide stewardship for into the future.

The straw may be removed if the contents of the bag are only partially consumed, thereby forming a seal by the punctured wall pushing against the outside wall of the space under pressure from the contents therein.
The invention also deals with a method for manufacturing the bag by guiding a third sheet (23) into the path of the bag forming sheets (1,2).
1. A container for a drink comprising a bag of tear-resistant flexible thermoplastic first material for housing the drink contents therein formed by welding two parallel sheets of said material at top, bottom and opposite side edge seams, one of said parallel sheets forming said bag having a space for housing a straw, said space formed from a third sheet of elastically deformable second material welded upon the inside of said one of said parallel sheets by means of two spaced apart parallel longitudinal seams and two spaced apart parallel transverse seams in such a manner that the layer thickness of said seams defining the bag remains constant over the entire length thereof and such that said straw can move only in a longitudinal direction therein, an outer wall of said space having an opening open towards the outside of said bag to allows a first free end of said straw to remain permanently outside said space and to further allow said straw to move only in the longitudinal direction such that said straw can be urged to puncture an elastically deformable inner wall of said space with a second sharpened end thereof, said inner wall of said space elastically enclosing the outer perimeter of said straw after the sharpened end of said straw has punctured said inner wall of said space for removal of the enclosed drink contents.
2. A container according to claim 1, wherein said third sheet is a strip welded upon the inner side of said one of said parallel sheets, said strip having a length and width which are smaller than said seams defining said bag.
3. A container according to claim 1, wherein said inner third sheet has the same length and width as said sheets defining said bag, such that said longitudinal and transverse seams of said third sheet are coincidental with said seams defining said bag. PG,15
4. A container according to claim 3, further comprising a third longitudinal seam and a third transverse seam, said third seams welding said third sheet upon said one of said parallel sheets, said third longitudinal seam parallel to and between said first two longitudinal seams, said third transverse seam parallel to and between said first two transverse seams and extending from one of said first two longitudinal seams to at least said third longitudinal seam.
This application is a continuation of application Ser. No. 910,436, filed on 8/28/86, now abandoned.
The invention relates to a container for drink consisting of a bag of flexible thermoplastic plastic material, which bag is closed by a means of longitudinal and transverse seams and is provided with a part welded on in a manner such that a space is obtained into which a small straw can be inserted.
A container of this type is known, for example, from the British Pat. No. 723,588. In this known container the part which defines the space into which a straw can be inserted consists of a sleeve which is open at the end facing the interior of the bag and forms a valve at that point which is closed by the pressure of the liquid because the wall parts of the sleeve are pressed against each other. The sleeve is secured by welding into one of the longitudinal seams of the bag and has a section projecting outwards which can be sealed by folding. If this end is opened, then a small straw can be inserted into the sleeve, as a result of which the latter loses its valve function and opens up so that the contents can be consumed.
This known container has the drawback that the valve is not always adequately sealed and that the manufacture is complicated. At the point where the sleeve extends through the transverse seam, the number of layers welded onto each other is locally doubled, which often gives rise to a poor weld as a result of which leakage may occur. In addition, the small straw is a loose component which has to be supplied separately.
The object of the invention is to provide a container in which said drawbacks no longer occur.
This object is achieved according to the invention in the first place in that the space for the inserting therein of the small straw is exclusively defined by welding seams between a bag wall and a part defining the space, which welding seams are situated inside the longitudinal and transverse seams of the bag and leave the layer thickness at the position of said longitudinal and transverse seams of the bag unchanged, and the bag has an opening inside the region, defined by the longitudinal and transverse seams of the bag, at the position of the said space, through which opening a small straw can be inserted or has been inserted. According to the invention the space for the inserting therein of the small straw therefore now has only an insertion opening in which a small straw can be placed but the space itself is closed. The valve function therefore no longer exists. If it is desired to consume the contents of the container, the wall has to be punctured by means of the small straw, an operation which is otherwise known in the case of containers with small straws supplied loose. Because the space is normally closed and has only an insertion opening, the small straw may already have been placed in the insertion opening before the container is delivered. The small straw is therefore no longer a loose component, or at least does not have to be one.
The welding seams which define the insertion space for the small straw leave the layer thickness at the position of the longitudinal or transverse seams of the bag undisturbed, as a result of which the risk of leakage is avoided.
According to the invention, the surface of the space facing the interior of the bag is preferably formed with an elastically deformable film, and the small straw is obliquely cut off at an acute angle such that the small straw expands the opening elastically after perforation of the wall. This is achieved is a simple manner by cutting off a small screw of adequate strength at an acute angle of, for example, 45�. The film can be perforated with the sharp point which has been formed on the small straw in this manner, after which this perforation can be expanded by the small straw. This has the result that the film surrounds the small straw so as to form a seal. No leakage can therefore occur along the outside wall of the small straw during the consumption of the contents or if a portion of the content is still being kept.
According to the invention the space may be defined by a strip welded onto one wall of the bag. This strip may have a width or length which is equal to the width or length respectively of the bag wall. The welding seams then coincide, which means that the welding seams which define the bag, contain three layers over the entire length. This strip may be situated on the inside or on the outside.
The longitudinal or transverse seams of the strip may also be situated at a distance from the welding seams which define the bag.
It is also conceivable that the space is defined by a sleeve welded onto the inside surface of the bag and the top edges of which are are attached by welding to a wall of the bag in a manner such that they surround the opening for the small straw.
Moreover, if a strip is used which is equally as large as a side wall of the bag, it is desirable, moreover, also to provide additional welding seams between the strip and a bag wall in order to define and reduce the space for the small straw. Said seams may, for example, consist of a longitudinal seam which extends from the top transverse seam of the bag to a transverse seam and of a transverse seam which defines the bottom of the space and which terminates at the position of a longitudinal seam.
The invention also relates to a method for making a bag according to the invention in which two sheets of thermoplastic plastic material are brought up against each other and bags are formed by means of welding seams, in which process, according to the invention, a third sheet is then brought up against one of the sheets defining the bag wall and is secured thereto by welding to form the said space before or during the welding of the bag seams, the sheet which defines the outside wall of the space is provided before welding with insertion openings at distances from each other which coincide with the pitch distance of the bags, said openings are opened after welding the sheets defining the space to each other and a small straw is inserted into each of said opened openings in step with the advance of the sheets.
According to the invention, therefore, the third sheet is welded onto one of the two sheets before the bags are formed in order to form the insertion space, or the three sheets are welded to each other simultaneously.
If the third sheet is applied to the outside of a bag wall, said third sheet should be provided with the insertion opening for the small straw. However, if the third sheet is applied to the inside of a sheet of film defining a bag wall, said sheet of film determining a bag wall should be provided with the insertion opening for the small straw. The opening of the insertion opening can be performed in an easy manner with nozzles, after which small straws can be inserted into the openings from the top, for example by means of a device which operates in step, which feeds the small straws and inserts them into the openings by means of a transverse stroke.
The invention thus now provides the possibility of providing a container for drink which is already provided with a small straw, is easy to manufacture and presents no leakage problems.
The invention will now be explained in more detail by reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a front view of a container according to the invention.
FIG. 2 is a section along the line II--II of FIG. 1.
FIG. 3 is a section along the line III--III of FIG. 1.
FIG. 4 is a front view of another embodiment of the container according to the invention.
FIG. 5 is a section along the line V--V of FIG. 4.
FIG. 6 is a front view of yet another embodiment of the container according to the invention.
FIG. 7 is a Section along the line VII--VII of FIG. 6.
FIG. 8 is a vertical section through yet another variant of the container according to the invention.
FIG. 9 shows diagrammatically in perspective a device for applying the method for the manufacture of the container according to the invention.
The container shown in the drawings consists of two films 1 and 2 respectively in the form of sheets of film which are formed by vertical welding seams 3 and 4 respectively and a horizontal bottom seam 5 into bags which are closed after filling by means of the top welding seam 6.
Before the films 1 and 2 are welded to each other by means of the vertical seams 3 and 4 respectively, a strip 7 is attached by welding by means of the vertical welding seams 8 and 9 and the horizontal welding seams 10 and 11 to the inside surface of the film 2 or to the outside surface of said film.
Before this an opening is punched in the film 2 at 12 for the insertion therein of a small straw 13 which is provided with a sharp point 14 and preferably consists of the type which has a pleated bent section 15 so that the end 16 can be laid flat against the side wall of the container. A bag of this type is completely closed. If it is desired to consume the contents, the small straw is thrust through the bottom section 17 of the welded-in strip 7 by means of the sharp point.
If the strip 7 is welded onto the outside of the sheet of film 2 the strip 7 should be provided with an insertion opening and the sharp point of the small straw must be pressed through the sheet of film 2, i.e. through the wall of the container.
If the contents are only partially consumed, the container can conceivably be sealed by pulling the small straw back, in which case the pressure of the contents will press the strip 7 against the inside wall 2. A valve action is then produced such as is known per se in the container according to the British Pat. No. 723,588 mentioned earlier.
It is, however, of greater benefit to take for the wall to be pierced a material which is elastically deformable such as, for example, a low-pressure polyethylene. With a sufficiently robust small straw and a point cut off obliquely, for example cut off at 45�, the point of the small straw will pierce the film material, after which the hole formed is elastically expanded and forms a seal around the small straw. Leakage along the outside wall of the small straw is not then possible, which is of benefit both during the consumption of the contents and if a portion of the contents is being kept.
Whereas in the embodiment of the FIGS. 1, 2 and 3, the strip has welding seams 8 to 11 incl. which are clearly situated at a distance from the welding seams 3 to 6 incl. of the container, it is, of course, also possible to apply welding seams in a different manner without this resulting in a change of the layer thickness at the position of the welding seams 3 to 6 incl. of the container.
Possibilities of this type are shown in the FIGS. 4 to 7 incl.
In the embodiment of FIGS. 4 and 5, the starting point is sheets of film of the same width. To the sheets of film 1 and 2 is added a third sheet of film 23 which defines the space 24 for the small straw 13. There are therefore now no separate welding seams, but the welding seams 3, 4, 5 and 6 comprise three layers instead of two layers. Over the entire length of each welding seam, however, the number of layers remains constant.
In this embodiment the small straw 13 is secured to the outside wall of the container by means of an adhesive strip 25 which can be pulled off. This adhesive strip can be used in any embodiment.
The embodiment according to FIGS. 6 and 7 differs from that according to FIGS. 4 and 5 in that the third film 23, in addition to being secured by welding to the sheet of film 2 at the position of the welding seams 3 to 6 incl., is secured by welding by means of a vertical seam 26 and a horizontal seam 26', as a result of which a small space 27 is isolated from the large space 24 to accommodate the small straw. The welding seams 26 and 26' comprise two layers and adjoin the welding seams 6 and 3 respectively consisting of three layers without, however, having an effect on the layer thickness.
The embodiment of FIG. 8 differs from that of the preceding figures in that the small straw 13 is situated in a sleeve 18 which is welded by means of the upper edges at 19 and 20 respectively around the opening 21 of the sheet of film 2. In this embodiment the insertion space for the small straw is also formed in a manner such that the layer thickness at the longitudinal seams remains unchanged. However, the manufacture of this embodiment is somewhat more complicated.
The method of manufacture of the containers according to FIGS. 1 to 7 incl. is explained by reference to FIG. 9.
This figure shows a supply reel 32 for the sheet of film 2 which passes over the deflecting rollers 33 and 34 and through a guide 35 so that the sheet of film 2 is guided accurately in a vertical plane.
At 36 a device is located for punching the insertion openings for small straws.
At 31 is located the supply reel for the sheet of film 1 which is guided over the deflecting rollers 37 and 38, as a result of which the two sheets of film 1 and 2 end up alongside each other.
At 39 and 40 are situated the welding devices for making the vertical welding seams 3 and 4.
At 41 is situated the welding device for making the bottom transverse seam 5.
At 42 and 43 are located cutting knives by means of which the still open empty containers are separated from each other and are passed by means of a transfer device 44 to a filling station where the containers are opened with suction nozzles 45, are flushed with a gas at 46 and then pass through the filling stations 47, after which the top transverse seam 6 is made at 48.
Before the two sheets of film 1 and 2 are brought up against each other at the deflection roller 38, a third sheet of film 23 is brought up against the sheet of film 2 from a supply reel 49 via the deflecting rollers 50 and 51. The vertical welding seams 8 and 9 are then made between the sheets of foil 2 and 23 by means of the welding devices 52 and the horizontal welding seams 10 and 11 with the welding devices 53.
The space is then opened with the vacuum devices 54 so that the small straws 13 can be inserted into the openings 12.
Said small straws are fed from a stock container 55 by means of a conveyor belt 56 which carries the small straws at regular distances from each other. The small straws may be secured, for example, by friction in sheaths or clips present in the belt 56. At 57 is situated the device for cutting off the bottom end of the small straws obliquely. At 58 is situated a device which has pushing elements 59 which can perform a vertical stroke and insert the small straws 13 into an opening 12 via the guide 60.
The small straws are then folded over by means of the device 61 and at 62, at the end of the complete operation, are provided with the adhesive strip 25 shown in FIG. 4.
The device shown in FIG. 9 refers in particular to the embodiments of FIGS. 1 to 3 incl.
For the embodiments of FIGS. 4 and 5 the welding devices 52 and 53 can be omitted. The welding then takes place exclusively by means of welding devices 39 and 41 and the means for opening the openings 12 and the means for inserting the small straws are situated downstream of the welding devices 39, 40 and 41.
In the embodiments of FIGS. 6 and 7 the welding seams 26 and 26' are first applied with welding devices comparable to the welding devices 52 and 53 and the feed device for the small straws should be situated downstream of the welding devices 39, 40 and 41.

The JGR drivers Hamlin, Kenseth and Bush set the top-three times testing the draft. Most teams concentrated on single car runs with Burton holding the single car fastest lap speed.
After Thursday on track testing action, Fan Fest will host question and answer sessions with the drivers for the fans.
The full-time ride puts Pastrana behind the wheel of the No. 60 RFR Ford. He will have Trevor Bayne as his team mate.
The long time NASCAR Nationwide series sponsor Great Clips signs a 28-race primary sponsorship deal with the Dale Earnhardt Jr. owned team.

COLUMBUS, Ohio, April 23 /PRNewswire/ -- The Ohio State Medical Association (OSMA) has endorsed The Doctors Company, the largest national insurer of physician and surgeon medical liability, as the preferred medical liability insurer for its membership.

Thomas, MD. "Our endorsement of The Doctors Company helps provide our members with affordable medical liability insurance."
Physicians must be current, active members of the OSMA to qualify for the professional liability program. Members who meet the requirements for all of the premium discounts and credits can receive up to an additional 10 percent premium reduction in their medical liability insurance. This includes several exclusive discounts: a 5 percent premium discount, a 2.5 percent credit for those members who use the OSMA EHR Standards of Excellence Program or the OSMA Patient Satisfaction Program, and a 2.5 percent claims-free credit.
The Doctors Company offers a combination of coverage features, aggressive claims handling, and educational resources. In addition to participation in its multiyear dividend program and free CME, members insured with The Doctors Company are eligible to participate in the Tribute(R) Plan, a financial award that rewards physicians for their loyalty to The Doctors Company and their dedication to practicing good medicine.
"We appreciate that the OSMA recognizes The Doctors Company's long-standing commitment to the Ohio physician marketplace. With the largest professional liability staff dedicated exclusively to the state's physicians, we deliver unparalleled service, aggressive legal defense, and member benefits no other insurer can match," said Thomas G.

Moya To Make Champions Tour Debut In Bogota
Bogota, Colombia
by Press Release|
Former World No. 1 Carlos Moya will launch his ATP Champions Tour career at the second annual Seguros Bolivar Tennis Champions in Bogota, Colombia, next month (May 19-22).
The 34 year-old, who only retired from the ATP World Tour in November of last year, revealed on his Twitter feed yesterday that it was the lure of competition which had prompted his decision to join the ATP Champions Tour, and the clay courts of Bogota's Palacio de los Deportes are the perfect place for him to make his much-anticipated debut.
During his 15 years on the ATP World Tour, Moya reached three of the greatest heights in the sport, winning a Grand Slam singles title at Roland Garros in 1998, reaching World No. 1 the following year, and helping Spain to win the 2004 Davis Cup title.
Visit ATP Champions Tour Website
The Spaniard also used the medium of Twitter this week to respond with fighting talk when asked whether he would pose a threat to the dominant forces on the ATP Champions Tour - Thomas Enqvist, who topped the year-end rankings in 2010 and current South African Airways Rankings leader Mark Philippoussis. When asked if he could beat them, Moya replied: "Absolutely."
Moya will have to reach the final if he is to take on either Philippoussis or defending champion Enqvist in Bogotoa, as the Spaniard has been drawn in to Group A alongside fellow French Open Champion Yevgeny Kafelnikov, former World No. 1 Marcelo Rios and Colombian Mario Rincon. Group B will see Enqvist and Philippoussis pitted against Colombian Maurcio Hadad as well as 'The Little Magician' Fabrice Santoro, another player making his ATP Champions Tour debut at the event.
Matches are played over the best of three sets, with a Champions' Tie-break (first to 10 points with a clear advantage of two) to decide the winner. After all round-robin matches are complete, the top two players in each group will meet in Tuesday's final.
After Bogota The ATP Champions Tour will continue its South America swing in Sao Paulo, Brazil for the Grand Champions Brasil at the Sociedade Harmonia de Ténis (May 26-29).

BSP urges reforms in charter to counter volatility
popular .
The central bank has once again called for reforms in its charter, saying monetary authorities need additional powers to counter the current and potential future volatility in the country's financial markets.
In its report on economic developments released at the weekend, the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) noted that capital flows, either going into or leaving the country, remained one of the major risks that the Philippines' otherwise-strong economy faces in the coming months.
Last week, local share prices crashed and the peso hit its lowest point in over a year.
This came after the US Federal Reserve's signal to end its aggressive monetary stimulus, alongside jitters over China's economic slowdown, illustrating the country's vulnerability to sudden external shocks.
Should the volatility markets continue, the BSP said it needs extra tools and resources to combat the effects of capital flows on inflation, share prices, foreign exchange and economic growth.
"Guarding against destabilizing financial market imbalances arising from capital inflow surges imposes a cost on the BSP," the report read
Proposed amendments to the BSP charter, which needs congressional approval, include:
increasing the BSP's authorized capital from P50 billion to a higher level commensurate with the expansion in the size of the economy and the financial system;
setting up of a formal arrangement on the sharing of gains and losses by the national government and the BSP;
restoring the BSP's ability to issue its own debt securities to enable it to siphon excess money supply from circulation;
allowing the BSP to set up reserves to absorb losses from foreign exchange fluctuations; and
granting of tax exemption to the BSP.
Foreign capital, mostly in the form of foreign portfolio investments or "hot money," has been entering the emerging markets like the Philippines since last year amid the weakness in developed economies.
"Against this backdrop, the BSP stands ready to employ, from its menu of policy instruments, measures that will help ensure that the benefits of capital flows are maximized while warding off the potential destabilizing impact of volatile capital flows on price and financial stability," the BSP report read.
So far this year, the BSP has kept its key overnight borrowing and lending rates at record lows of 3.5 percent and 5.5 percent, respectively.
Rates for special deposit accounts (SDAs) have also been slashed to 2.5 percent across all tenors, as well as restricted the access of retail depositors to the BSP facility.
"The reduction in the SDA rates is consistent with the BSP's efforts to fine-tune the operations of its monetary policy tools to enhance their effectiveness in promoting price and financial stability," the BSP said.

DALLAS -- Play was halted during the Dallas Stars game at the American Airlines Center Monday night after Dallas center Rich Peverley collapsed on the team's bench after a 'cardiac event.'
The game has been postponed by the NHL, and will be rescheduled at a later date.
'As a result of the emotional state of the players on both teams caused by the medical emergency, the game is being postponed,' the league said in a statement.
Players were yelling and banging their sticks against the boards, attempting to get medical attention to the fallen player. He was rushed from the ice, and the team said Peverley is conscious at a local hospital.
'When he dropped, it was red alert,' said Dallas Stars Head Coach Lindy Ruff. 'Don't worry about the game. It was about getting the doctors.'
Peverley, 31, missed time earlier this season due to an irregular heartbeat, including last Tuesday's game. Mike Heika of The Dallas Morning Newsreported Peverley was 'feeling strange' after the team's game last Monday.
Ruff told the Morning News Peverley has 'been monitoring it the whole year and this might have been the first or second time it's come around, but it's something he has to deal with and it's something that obviously we're aware of.'
Team doctor Dr. Gil Salazar said Monday night the team's medical staff treated Peverley for a cardiac event successfully, that he was aware of where he was, and that he wanted to get back in the game when he regained consciousness.
'I thought the medical staff did an unbelievable job tonight,' Ruff said after the game was postponed.
Salazar said more extensive testing will occur over the next day or so.
Peverley had played in 62 of the Stars' 64 games this season and recorded seven goals and 23 assists.
The Columbus Blue Jackets led Monday night's game 1-0 when play was stopped 6:23 into the first period.

Removed the top cover using a Phillips screw driver to access the top 2 screws holding the bracket. Once the bracket was removed, lifted the door off the bottom hinge. Replaced the door closing cam, replaced shims and screws. Placed the door back on the bottom hinge, inserted the top bracket and secured.This was the ultimate resolution to the problem. The problem I encountered was getting all of the correct parts. It took me 3 tries to finally identify and receive the parts needed to make the repairs. Using Part Select made it easy because they had the parts I needed. My 3 tries were partly my error and does not reflect on Part Select. I would recommend others use Part Select when choosing their replacement parts.

A huge quantum of 400 tmcs of Godavari water has gone waste into the sea so far, he pointed out saying this could have been avoided had the project been constructed.
Stating that a whopping Rs. 4,000 crore had already been spent on Polavaram project, Chief Minister N. Kiran Kumar Reddy on Friday ruled out the possibility of changing the design of the project and reiterated his resolve to sort out the minor inter-State issues with Odisha government over the project.
Mr. Reddy held a marathon review meeting with the higher officials and the elected public representatives on the concluding day of his three-day district tour, as part of Indiramma Bata programme, here on Friday.
Later talking to mediapersons, he said the project is a viable option to fully tap Godavari waters for the benefit of the farming community.
Irrigation potential
The multi-purpose project will give a natural advantage to avoid wastage of precious Godavari waters to an extent of 2,000 to 3,000 tmcs and create enormous irrigation potential, he remarked, adding that the project would ensure 45 tmcs of water to Telangana and Rayalaseema regions.
A huge quantum of 400 tmcs of Godavari water has gone waste into the sea so far, he pointed out saying this could have been avoided had the project been constructed.
He said Odisha State will get 5 tmcs of water from it. I will strive to convince Odisha Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik to find an out-of-court settlement to the small issues over the project, he said.
All the genuine concerns over the project will be addressed and a comprehensive rehabilitation package will be provided to the land oustees, he said in reply to a query.
On the demand for a public sector steel factory at Bayyaram, he said the State government has constituted a committee to look into the issue. The committee is exploring the possibilities of handing over the iron ore mines to the Vizag Steel Plant (VSP) for setting up a steel factory in the district.
Coal linkages
Efforts are underway to get coal linkages to the two power plants including the Palvancha-based Kothagudem Thermal Power Station (KTPS) VII stage (1X 800 MWs).
Rajya Sabha member Renuka Chowdary, Assembly Deputy Speaker M.B. Vikramarka, Ministers Botsa Satyanarayana, R. Venkat Reddy and Kondru Murali, MLC P. Sudhakar Reddy and others were present.

Avery Bradley gets an unexpected start for Celtics
|01.20.13 at 8:40 pm ET
Celtics guard Avery Bradley, who missed Friday's game against the Bulls with a rib injury, was back in the Celtics lineup on Sunday night in Detroit against the Pistons. His presence among the starting five came as something of a surprise, given that coach Doc Rivers had suggested that the third-year player was doubtful for Sunday.
Entering Sunday, Bradley was averaging 8.1 points, 1.5 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1.3 steals per game. The Celtics are 6-2 in his first eight games.

Lucy Hay, Countess of Carlisle
|This article needs additional citations for verification. (December 2010)
Lucy Hay (née Percy), Countess of Carlisle (1599 – 5 November 1660), was an English courtier known for her beauty and wit. She was involved in many political intrigues during the English Civil War.
She was born Lucy Percy, the second daughter of the 9th Earl of Northumberland (the famous "Wizard Earl") and his wife, Lady Dorothy Devereux. In 1617, she became the second wife of James Hay, 1st Earl of Carlisle. Her charms were celebrated in verse by contemporary poets, including Thomas Carew, William Cartwright, Robert Herrick and John Suckling, and by Sir Toby Matthew in prose.
In 1626, she was appointed Lady of the Bedchamber to the Queen of England, Henrietta Maria of France.[1] She soon became a favorite of the Queen, and participated in two of her famous masque plays.[2]
She was a conspicuous figure at the court of King Charles I. A contemporary scandal made her the mistress successively of Thomas Wentworth, 1st Earl of Strafford, and of John Pym, his parliamentary opponent. Strafford valued her highly, but after his death in 1641, possibly in consequence of a revulsion of feeling at his abandonment by the court, she devoted herself to Pym and the interests of the parliamentary leaders, to whom she communicated the king's most secret plans and counsels.
Her greatest achievement was the timely disclosure to her cousin Robert Devereux, 3rd Earl of Essex, of the king's intended arrest of the five members of Long Parliament in 1642, which enabled Essex and the others to escape. However, she appears to have served both parties simultaneously, betraying communications on both sides, and doing considerable mischief by inflaming political animosities.
In 1647, she attached herself to the interests of the moderate Presbyterian party, which assembled at her house, and in the Second Civil War showed great zeal and activity in the royal cause, pawning her pearl necklace for £1500 to raise money for Lord Holland's troops, establishing communications with Prince Charles during his blockade of the Thames, and making herself the intermediary between the scattered bands of royalists and the queen. As a result, her arrest was ordered on 21 March 1649, and she was imprisoned in the Tower of London, where she maintained a correspondence in code with the king through her brother, Lord Percy, until Charles went to Scotland. According to a royalist newsletter, while in the Tower she was threatened with torture on the rack to gain information. She was released on bail on 25 September 1650, but appears never to have regained her former influence in the royalist counsels, and died soon after the Restoration.
The Encyclopedia Brittanica article from which the above was taken attributes her death to apoplexy.
Cultural references[edit]
Alexandre Dumas probably based femme fatale Milady de Winter in his 1844 novel The Three Musketeers on Lucy Hay.
She was the subject of John Suckling's risqué poem Upon My Lady Carlisle's Walking in Hampton Court Garden.
