B23p 17/00, 11 /02; B29c 19/00 U.S. Cl. 29-423 6 Claims ABSTRACT F THE DISCLOSURE This disclosure relates to a mode of elastically deforming a thermoplastic pipe end to form an internal groove therein and assemble packing and supporting rings in the groove.
This invention relates to pipe connections for plastic pipes, particularly thermoplastic pipes, wherein the end of one pipe is insertable into the widened end of another pipe, the widened end constituting a sleeve carrying, in at least one inner ring groove, a rubber or elastically deformable packing ring whose inside diameter, until the other pipe is inserted, is smaller than the outside diameter of the pipe to be fitted therein, Such pipe connections are suitable for lines for drop-forming and gaseous liquids, there including pressure lines.
In known pipe connections of this kind, the packing ring, as a rule, completely hugs the inner wall of the ring groove when the pipe end is inserted. The force to be used for deforming the ring upon insertion of the pipe end to be inserted increases sharply with increasing deformation, so that relatively great forces may become necessary during installation. Another shortcoming of known constructions is that again and again the pipe end to be inserted pushes the ring out of its groove so that great care must be used in installation. Also the tension which the ring exerts upon its deformation of the furrow in the sleeve forming the groove and absorbing the tension will, if the dimensional deviations of the sleeve and pipe end to be inserted are unfavorable, often be undesirably high since the deforming force increases very greatly with the deformation.
The invention provides a pipe connection with avoids the defects of known pipe connections and is particularly well suited for pipes of large diameter. The pipe connection according to the invention is characterized in that the ring groove, whose axial extent is much greater than its depth, presents two rounded inner shoulders, in which lie rounded edges of the packing ring which presents on its outer circumference a slightly arched circumferential trough which with the wall of the ring groove of the sleeve encloses an air space, while the inner side of the packing ring bulges inwardly to form an annular ridge. This definition of the form and position of the ring applies to the state in which the pipe end is not yet inserted in the sleeve.
With this design the insertion of the pipe end finds a much more slowly increasing insertion resistance than with a round profile of the ring, as the air space between circumferential trough and groove wall is compressible at will and exerts a exible applying force also with the pipe end inserted. Another essential advantage resides in that due to the air cushion between packing ring and ring groove the pressure exerted on the ring groove is distributed evenly. Even at great tolerance-caused deviations of the diameter of the sleeve and pipe from the theoretical diameter, undesirably high tension peaks no longer occur in the annular furrow. Especially at great 3,520,047 Patented July 14, 1970 pipe dimensions, a relatively long deformation path is required because of the manufacturing tolreances connected therewith. For this reason, conventional packing elements are unsuitable, as they cause much higher deforming forces, so that satisfactory tting together of the pipe connection elements may become impossible.
With the conventoinal packing rings, the compression of the ring against the sleeve and the inserted pipe end was furnished by the tendency of the elastic ring to return to its original form. In contradistinction, in the case of the invention, a great portion of the applying force is furnished by the compressed air cushion between the packing ring and groove wall.
The arching on the inside of the packing ring extends advantageously only over the central region of the inner circumferential surface thereof, whose free edges are rounded. This increases the deformability and facilitates the insertion of the pipe end.
In the case of small pipe diameters, the ring grooves and the packing rings therein are of relatively large dimensions so that thereby the packing rings are retained well in the grooves. In the case of larger pipe diameters, however, a difficulty arises inasmuch as the packing rings, which measured on the pipe diameter are relatively thin, tend to come out of the furrow or ring groove in the upper portion under the action of their deadweight, owing to which upon insertion of the pipe end into the sleeve the pipe end often damages the packing ring and pushes it out of its groove. This, of course, makes installation considerably more diflicult. The packing ring can be glued into the furrow, but this is very complicated.
The present invention also eliminates these difficulties. It proceeds from the basic idea that one can improve the hold of the ring in the circumferential groove receiving it in the sleeve also by giving the circumferential groove and possibly also the ring a cross-section particularly favorable for the retention of the ring.
Accordingly, a preferred embodiment of the invention especially for large pipe diameters is characterized in that at least on one side of at least one packing ring there extends in the groove a fixed supporting ring applied by its outer surface against the groove wall and forming with one side wall an axial counter-bearing for the packing ring. This leaves completely free choice regarding the shape of this end wall, which can be given a form such that it retains the packing ring firmly in the ring groove.
Obviously the arrangement of one or more fixed supporting rings is not limited to the above described design of the packing ring. It can be used just as well for other forms of the packing ring, for example those with circular profile. However, the above explained packing ring form with the air-containing circumferential trough is preferred.
If only one supporting ring is provided, it is advantageously arranged on the side of the packing ring away from the sleeve opening as this counteracts an expulsion of the packing ring from the groove upon insertion of the pipe end. Preferably a fixed supporting ring is arranged on both sides of the packing ring.
A particularly good assurance against expulsion or falling out of the packing ring out of the groove receiving it is obtained in that at each fixed ring the side wall of at least one supporting ring forming an axial counterbearing for the packing ring is :brought forward toward the packing ring at its inner edge, so that this advanced edge engages under the packing ring.
Alternatively, the packing ring may be firmly connected with at least one supporting ring. The firm connection may be effected for example by molding the packing ring to the iixed ring or by molding the fixed ring to the packing ring.
Installation may be effected for example in that each fixed ring consists of two halves, of which first one and then the other is inserted in the interior of the sleeve. In this case the xed ring must be split. Better, however, is a design where the ring is made of relatively hard elastic plastic and has a discontinuity only at one point. If such a ring has a greater diameter in the relaxed state than in the mounted state, and if the mass is so selected that the discontinuity of the ring is substantially closed when the ring is inserted in the groove, one obtains a good hold of the fixed rings.
Preferred, however, is a design where the fixed ring or rings are continuous. The installation of these rings will be explained later.
Advantageously each supporting ring has approximately the profile of a triangle whose longest side is formed by the cylindrical inner surface of the ring, whose shortest side is arched concavely and applies against the packing ring, and whose third side applies internally against the groove wall. Such a design permits giving the annular furrow of the pipe sleeve receiving the packing means a form particularly favorable with regard to strength. It is further particularly advantageous for the method of installation according to the invention, which will be explained later.
The fixed ring consists advantageously of plastic. Thermoplastic material is preferred. Best suited is a plastic of a softening temperature equal to or preferably somewhat higher than that used for the pipe, as this favors the method of production explained later.
The selection of material is advantageously made so that the materials of the xed rings and of the pipe have the same chemical and physical behavior.
The 'invention comprises also a method for the production of a pipe sleeve of thermoplastic material with fixed supporting rings in the ring groove.
This method is distinguished in that the continuous supporting ring or rings and possibly also one or more packing rings, or filling rings which can be removed again after formation of the sleeve, are placed on a substantially cylindrical core whose outside diameter is equal to the desired inside diameter of the sleeve, in that this core with the rings is inserted into the end of the pipe, widened or to be widened to form the sleeve and heated to the range of thermoelastic deforrnability, in that the sleeve end is consolidated over the core and over the rings by cooling, in that the core is pulled out of the sleeve end, and in that finally the filling ring or rings, if any, are removed from the sleeve. The supporting rings are now firmly seated in the annular furrow of the sleeve. A special advantage of this method resides in that with it at the same time the sleeve can be shaped to the pipe end. Due to the fact that the sleeve end, that is, the pipe end already widened or preferably still to be widened to form the sleeve, has been heated to the range of thermoelastic deformability, the pipe end rises lbeyond the rings during insertion of the core and contracts again elastically behind them to the diameter of the core. According to the principle of relativity in mechanics, of course, the sleeve end may alternatively be tted over the core without thereby going outside the invention.
In the case of large pipe diameters it is advantageous if the sleeve is compressed from the outside before its reconsolidation. The clinging of the material to the core and the supporting rings is thereby favored. The method is conducted particularly favorably if this compression is brought about with the aid of the external air pressure :by suction of air from the zone between the sleeve and core.
To avoid too rapid a consolidation of the sleeve end present in the thermoelastic temperature range upon insertion of the core, the latter is advantageously heated beforehand. A temperature of 50 deg. C. has proved suitable for polyvinyl chloride pipes.
The invention is next further explained with reference to the attached drawings showing examples of construction and in which:
FIG. 1 shows in axial section a pipe connection according to the invention;
FIG. 2 shows on enlarged scale in axial section a portion of a packing ring placed in the annular furrow, according to the invention, where the pipe end to be inserted has not yet been inserted;

FIG. 7 shows the same construction after completed insertion of the core;
FIG. 8 shows on a different scale, from the side, the preferred form of a core for the production of a sleeve with supporting rings in the circumferential furrow after completed fitting of the pipe end onto the core;
FIG. 9 shows diagrammatically on a different scale the whole arrangement for carrying out the method according to the invention, from the side;
FIG. 10 shows the view from the left of FIG. 9;
FIG. 11 shows the view from above of FIG. 9; and
FIG. 12 shows on a different scale a filling ring.
The pipe connection in FIGS. 1 and 2 between the extruded pipes 1 and 2` consisting of polyvinyl chloride has a sleeve 3 provided with an annular furrow 4. In the latter extends the elastic packing ring 5, made of natural or synthetic rubber, which by its internal ridge 12 applies sealingly against the inserted pipe end 1.
As can be seen from FIG. 2, the ring groove 6` formed by the annular furrow -4 has approximately the form of a trapezoid which closely approaches the form of a rectangle. The edges of the ring groove are rounded out. The depth of the ring groove is preferably one half of its axial extent.
Into the ring groove the packing ring 5 is placed. It is held there, even if at great pipe diameters its stiffness is not sufiicient, by application against the lateral zones 7 and 8 of the ring groove, since its extent in axial direction in the relaxed state is slightly greater than the corresponding dimension of the ring groove. The outer circumferential surface of ring 5 is drawn in concavely, so that its profile is limited externallyby a gentle arc line 9 which terminates in the rounded corners 10. Also on the inside, the corners y11 of the ring are rounded. At 12 the ring shows an arch, which projects inwardly beyond the innermost limit line of the tolerance eld 13 for the outside diameter of the pipe end to be inserted. On both sides of the annular ridge 12, the inner surface of the ring extends slightly arched inwardly at 14.
If now the pipe en-d 1 is inserted, by its conically taper,- ing end it pushes the annular ridge 12 outward, which then applies sealingly against the pipe end. Furtherk the air chamber 15 is compressed between annularfurrow and outer surface of the ring, so that a constant pressure can act on the entire outer ring groove surface.
The lateral ridges 11 of the ring are thereby pushed down and thus enlarge the contact surface ofthe ring,
owing to which a lower pressure per area acts on the insertedv pipe.
Below is explained the construction with fixed supporting rings for the packing ring.
In the construction shown in FIG. 5, the end of pipe` 21 is designed as insertable sleeve 22. At 23 the sleeve presents an enlargement in which are seated the fixed sup'- porting rings 24, 25 and 26 as well as the packing rings 27 and 28. The pipe is made of polyvinyl chloride, as are also the fixed rings 24, 25 and 26. The packing rings 27 and 28 are made of soft rubber. The connection is suitable for lines under pressure, both those under internal and those under external pressure.
As can be seen from the drawing, the fixed supporting rings 25 apply firmly against the wall of the enlargement 23 of the sleeve by reason of their oblique outer surfaces. The supporting rings 25 and 26 or respectively 24 and 26 each leave between them a ring groove 30', 31 of approximately trapezoidal cross-section. The cross-section of these ring grooves widens outwardly. Owing to this, the packing rings 27 and 28 nd therein an excellent accommodation and it is avoided that, upon insertion of the pointed end, they are pushed out of the grooves holding them. It is clear that the inside diameters of the fixed supporting rings 24, 25 and 26 are greater by a small amount taking into account the manufacturing tolerances than the outside diameter of the pipe 29 to be inserted. To avoid notch effects, the edges of the rings 24, 25 and 26 applying against the inner surface of the sleeve are rounded.
For the supporting rings 32 and 33 shown in FIG. 4, a groove of dovetail profile is provided for each in the sides facing each other. These rings are especially suited for being rmly connected with the rubber ring. For this purpose they are placed in the mold intended for the production of the rubber ring. When the rubber packing ring is then molded, the dovetail-shaped grooves fill up with rubber and a rm, positive connection results.
The sleeve construction shown in FIGS. 6 and 7 represents the preferred form of a sleeve with only one packing ring. It differs from the construction according to FIG. essentially in that one instead of two packing rings is provided. Accordingly the axial extent of the entire packing construction is much smaller than in the construction according to FIG. 5.
An embodiment of the method according to the invention for the production of the sleeve connection will now be further explained with reference to FIGS. 6 and 7, where the core 36 is shown in section in the upper half.
Core 36 consists mainly of a steel shell, whose external form corresponds essentially to the internal form of the pipe sleeve to be produced. Its right end tapers to facilitate the sliding on (FIG. 7) of the thermoplastic pipe end.
For holding the right-hand supporting ring 41, the core possesses some radially movable pins 44, which under the action of a spring 4S tend to move into the core far enough so as not to protrude beyond the circumferential surface of the core. These pins cooperate with a conical control piece 49 which is seated on the rod S1 which is guided axially in the bearing disks 48 and 50. If the rod is displaced by axial displacement to the right into the position shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the pins 44 are pushed outward radially and thus form stops for the supporting ring 41. 'Ihe core 36 has further mounted on it for axial displacement a bushing 37 which serves to secure the supporting ring 40 against being seized by the end 52 of the sleeve end 47 and being displaced along the core. As the end of the supporting ring 40 at left in FIGS. 6 and 7 advantageously has sharp edges, as far as this is possible, to avoid the formation of dirt chambers, the contact area between bushing 37 and supporting ring 40 is conical, as indicated in the drawing.
On bushing 37 is mounted, also for axial displacement, a second bushing 38, whose function is it to retain the packing ring 42 before insertion thereof into the elastically deformable sleeve end 47 radially inward. During insertion into the sleeve end, the right end face of this ring is forced by the sleeve end 52 to slide on the bushing 37.
For carrying out the method according to the invention, with rod 51 shifted toward the left, so that the pins 44 are drawn into the interior of the core, the supporting ring 40 is first slid onto core 36, then the elastic rubber backing ring 42 and then the supporting ring 41. Meanwhile the bushings 37 and 38 are in the position shown in FIG. 6, where they are retained. The two supporting rings 40 and 41 may alternatively be made of a plastic softening at a higher temperature than that of the pipe. Next, the rod S1 is moved to the right, so that ring 41 is prevented from being displaced. Advantageously the supporting rings 40 and 41 as well as the packing ring 42 and the core 36 are treated externally with a lubricant before they are applied.
Next, the core is inserted into the sleeve end 52 which in the meantime has been brought into an elastically deformable state by softening. In so doing, this sleeve end is widened, -as can be seen from FIG. 6. When the outermost edge 52 of the sleeve end has reached the position shown in FIG. 6, it pushes bushing 38 before it counter to the pressure of a weak spring power. When bushing 38 has reached the outer stop collar on bushing 37, it actuates a limit switch (not shown) which after `a certain delay moves the bushings 37 and 3S to the left. In this state, the outermost left end 52 of the sleeve has already embraced the packing ring 42 and holds the latter clamped together in radial direction. Also, the end 52 has come far enough on the outer conical circumference of the supporting ring 40 that it no longer tends to push this ring before it, but retains it in its position due to the inclination of the circumferential surface of ring 40. The two bushings 37 and 38 are now dispensable and are therefore brought out of active position. This state of the two rings is illustrated in FIG. 7. An important point, of course, is that the right end face of this bushing still -applies by a sufficiently large area against the left end face of the sleeve end when the two bushings 37 and 38 are retracted into the inactive position shown in FIG. 7. Next the core slides farther into the elastic sleeve end, to a portion which is adjacent that rising over the annular ridge formed on the rings and which is more ccnstricted. It slides until the left end 52 of the sleeve end abuts on the right end of the bushing 37. If necessary, the produced furrow can be copied also from the outside. As a rule, however, this is not necessary.
Finally the sleeve is cooled and thereby consolidated. Next, after movement of rod 51 to the left and the drawing in the pins 44 brought about thereby, the core 36 can be pulled out of the finished sleeve.
The next operation can begin.
It is more advantageous and simple than with the apparatus illustrated in FIGS. 6 and 7 to carry out the method with the apparatus shown in FIGS. 8 to ll.
This apparatus carries on a base 60 a deforming core 61. Above core 61 is a sprinkling nozzle 62 for cooling and consolidating the pipe sleeve 63 shaped on core 61. Core 61 contains a central bore 64 which is connected through a line 65 to an air suction device 66. From bore 64, thin bores 67, 68, 69 and 70 extend radially to the zones of the surface of the core at which by the production of a vacuurn a particularly good clinging of the deformable sleeve to the core is to be brought about. Core 61 possesses in ring grooves 71 and 72 so-called O-rings 73 `ar1d'74, which upon production of a vacuum between core 61 and sleeve 63 seal the zone between them from the outside. At its left end the core has a stop 75 for the thermoplastic pipe sleeve 63. Also a low step 76 is provided at the core circumference, against which the supporting ring 77 braces itself when the pipe is tted onto the core. This step is very low. Its height is for example l mm.
In front of core 61, the base 60 carries, displaceable in axial direction of the core by means of a hydraulic cylinder 78, a collet 79 for clamping the pipe to be deformed. Collet 79 is opened and closed by means of a hydraulic cylinder 80. Base 60 contains a hydraulic unit 81 for the yactuation of the hydraulic cylinders 78 and 80.
To produce a pipe sleeve with supporting rings 77 and 82, rst the core 61 is heated to about 50 deg. C. Then the closed supporting ring 77, an elastic but hard filling ring 83, which is slotted in the manner shown in FIG. 12, and
v 7 the second supporting ring 82 are fitted on the core in the position shown in FIG. 8. ThenjtheA pipe, having been made elastically deformable in the end zone by heating to about 110 deg. C., is clamped into the collet '79 so that its end applies against the stop plate 85 pivotable about the axis 84. Plate 85 is then pivoted out of the path of movement of the pipe and the pipe is pushed by the hydraulic cylinder 78 over core 61 into the position shown in FIG. 8. Thenthe vacum unit 66 is switched on, which by suction of air through lines 65, 64 67, 69 and 70 causes the still deformable pipe end 63 to apply closely to the core also at the points where the sleeve of the pipe is pinched inward. v
About 1A to 1/2 minute later, the sprinkling nozzle 6 is switched on. This lets water run onto the finished pipe sleeve and thereby cools and consolidatesthe latter. Then, after switching of the vacuum unit 66 and the nozzle 62, the collet 79 with the pipe is taken away from the core 61. The pipe takes along parts 77, 83 and 82. Now the pipe is taken out of the collet 79. By means of a mandrel introduced in bore 86, the filling ring 83 is pulled inward under elastic deformation and removed from the interior of th sleeve. Into the opened ring groove, a packing ring, preferably ofthe vkind shown in FIG. 2, is now placed under elastic deformation.

Recognized startup names are starting to struggle. It seems that their competitors are catching up and eating away at their marketshare.
In most cases, it's a strategy problem. Something absent in most American startups today. Most narrow, simple startups face the same risk — it's just a matter of time before competitors duplicate their simple offerings at lower prices. In a world-wide market, this is a race between original ideas and duplicators. American startups can't compete on price.
So, what can they do?
Differentiation through marketing could buy a bit of time, but the problem is deeper than what can be solved by promoting the offerings as they exist today.
Competitive Understanding
User experience can help, but only if these companies leverage quality user research to discover opportunities for significant innovation.
User research can be used as a strategic tool, focused on understanding the users better than your competition — it will yield better value when applied as an ongoing effort, consistently, over time — rather than as a desperate, rushed, last-minute measure. (In other words, get started today — not tomorrow.)
The findings from quality user research, will lead the development of competitive functionality that will give these companies a true competitive edge.
The question is, will these companies innovate, chicken-out and "pivot" or — unfortunately, a common tactic — rush to IPO before investors notice they're doomed?

Editorial Reviews
Product Description
Price reduced for a limited time!
Finalist for the Planeta Prize, the most valuable literary award after the Nobel Prize for Literature (€601,000 / $700,000)
"Best Historical Thriller 2013."—novelas-historicas
The venerable philosopher Pythagoras, one of the most powerful political figures of his time, is preparing to name a successor from among his grand masters when a string of murders rocks the Pythagorean community. The killings, each more baffling and unpredictable than the last, gradually unveil the workings of a dark and powerful mind, more formidable than that of Pythagoras himself.
Egyptian investigator Akenon and the enigmatic Ariadne work to identify the murderer while at the same time coming to terms with their own tumultuous relationship. The challenge they face is one in which the ghosts of the past are interwoven with the sinister threats of the present: a challenge from which it seems impossible they will escape alive.
Killing Pythagoras, based on real-life historical events, will plunge readers into an apparently unsolvable mystery. Readers will unearth cryptic clues and come face to face with some of the most unnerving characters ever to appear in the pages of fiction: Glaucus the Sybarite, the gruesome Boreas, the vengeful Cylon, and above all, the mysterious stranger who wields his prodigious capabilities to sow death.

Summary of term life provisions
Beginning at age 65, your life coverage is reduced based on the benefit amount in force on your 64th birthday. This also applies to the AD&D benefit.
Beginning at age 65, your life coverage is reduced based on the benefit amount in force on your 64th birthday. This also applies to the AD&D benefit.
Age 65 – 35% (percentage of coverage reduction)
Age 70 – 55% (percentage of coverage reduction)
Age 75 – 70% (percentage of coverage reduction)
Age 80 – 80% (percentage of coverage reduction)
Age 85 – 85% (percentage of coverage reduction)
Waiver of premium
Employees who are disabled for at least six consecutive months before age 60 can continue life insurance coverage and waive the premium. The employee is covered until age 65 if he or she remains totally disabled.
For qualified disabled, employee coverage continues and the premium is waived. Available in voluntary and basic plans.
Guaranteed conversion
If an employee or dependent loses coverage due to the employee's loss of employment, loss of eligibility or reduction for age, the coverage can be converted to a permanent insurance plan. Maximum amounts to be converted vary based on the contract. If the group coverage ends due to termination of the policy, conversion is available when the member's coverage has been in effect for at least three years. Voluntary ported coverage also can be converted when the policy is terminated. The conversion policy is issued without evidence of insurability.
An employee who is eligible to convert to an individual policy must notify Humana within the 31-day conversion period immediately after the date of termination. To receive additional information on conversion, and receive a conversion quote, please call our claims area at 1-866-836-6144.
Living benefit (accelerated death benefit)
An employee diagnosed with a terminal illness that is expected to result in death within 24 months can receive a portion of the insurance benefit. Amount payable is 50 percent to a maximum benefit of $250,000. The advanced amount will reduce the life insurance benefit at the time of death; this varies according to state regulations. Humana must approve the benefit application.
Residents of Alabama, Illinois, Indiana, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Ohio, Oklahoma, Texas, Virginia and Washington must have continuous coverage a minimum of 30 days to qualify for illness coverage. For accidents, coverage begins on the effective date of the policy.
Portability for voluntary life only
An active eligible employee who leaves the group can continue voluntary life insurance by paying annual premiums to Humana if he or she is not yet age 70. Only coverage in force or a lesser amount can be ported. Coverage is portable for dependents if the employee ports coverage. If the group terminates, ported coverage can be converted.
Portability is state-specific and is not available in Massachusetts and Minnesota. Portability does not include AD–D, waiver of premium, and accelerated death benefit.

Here I was thinking of surgery.I am so glad I decided to research and find a better alternative.I only been using this tool for two weeks and I can see the change on my face.I look younger,rested,firmer. My skin glows and it looks healthy.Is so easy to use. I can't wait to see the results after 30,60 and 90 days.I found what I been looking for and it works! Thank you,thank you,thank you!....thank you!
I first experienced the Trinity during a facial at a spa and I noticed a gentle tightening after just one treatment. I bought one for home and I truly see a difference in the contour of my face and I feel a tightening of the muscles beneath my skin. The gel dries a bit too quickly so I keep a spray bottle of Evian handy to rehydrate my skin so the Trinity will not drag across my skin. I'm very happy with my purchase and I would recommend the Trinity.
As I've lost weight my neck has become loose and wrinkled. I bought this NuFace Trinity to tighten and tone my neck as I lost weight and aged. It is up to the task so far. I've lost 32lbs and my NuFace Trinity has kept my neck fairly wrinkle-free. For a woman of 48 years that is no easy task! :)

Dwyane Wade lost a step and was humbled by injuries this year, yet still helped the Miami Heat win the Championship. For those thinking this is the demise of Dwyane, the Wade's have reinforcements coming. Zaire Wade is only 11-years-old and he is already breaking ankles with a killer crossover reminiscent of his dad, Dwayne Wade. The young Wade, who is only in 5th grade, was one of the top players at the John Lucas Future of the Game Camp in Las Vegas. For you college scouts out there Zaire will graduate high school in 2020. Armed with three-pointers and no-look passes Zaire proves like father, like son. Article found on: Next Impulse Sports

All the quarters, dimes and other coins forgotten by busy travelers at airport security checkpoints last year added up to a big chunk of change for the federal government.
Airline passengers left behind nearly $675,000 in loose change last year, according to the Transportation Security Administration's 2014 fiscal year report released Monday. While that's only a modest jump from last year's haul of $638,143, it's a whopping 76% more than the $383,414 collected in 2008.

The Old Glenn Highway was built from Palmer to the junction of the New Glenn Highway on the Eklutna Flats in 1942. Travelers used to enjoy stopping at a lodge on Goat Creek. The house specialty was drinks with chunks of ice that floated down the river from Lake George during breakup. The Eklutna Power Project was also built in the 1940s, including tract housing for employees. Knik River Road started as a logging road in the early 1950s.

Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/j9ndt3/selforganizing) has announced the addition of the "Self-Organizing Networks: Market Analysis and Forecasts" report to their offering.
A global assessment of the Self-Organizing Network (SON) software market, providing in-depth insight into the market drivers, barriers, vendor strategies and future prospects for the industry.
Network planning and on-going optimization is an imperative aspect for any wireless carrier in order to ensure acceptable levels of service for users, thereby reducing churn. Now, with the boom in mobile broadband infrastructure deployments, Self-Organizing Network (SON) solutions promise to automate the planning, configuration and on-going optimization of Radio Access Networks (RANs). ARCchart estimates that SON in its full implementation, as defined by the 3GPP, can automate as many as 60% of all tasks typically performed by a RAN optimization engineer.
A Self-Organizing Network is a network that can automatically configure and continuously optimize the parameters of its sub-elements with the aim of optimising network performance, capacity and coverage.
This report provides a global assessment of the SON market. In addition to assessing the key market trends, vendor strategies and the industry's future roadmap, the report quantifies OpEx and CapEx savings possible through the implementation of SON, and provides detailed market forecasts for SON software revenues from 2012 through to 2017, from both global and regional perspectives. The report also considers revenues for the legacy RAN planning & optimization software market. Historical figures are also provided for 2011.
Topics of coverage include:
- RAN planning and optimization
- SON business case
- Factors driving the SON market
- Challenges to the SON ecosystem
- SON functional areas and implementation architectures
- Future roadmap of the SON industry
- Profiles of key SON software vendors
- Wireless Network and HetNet Infrastructure Spending

The basic integration architecture, as defined by ESBs, hasn't changed for more than a decade. Most cloud integration providers still rely on an ESB architecture and their proprietary connectors. As a result, enterprise integration projects suffer from constraints of availability and reliability of these connectors that are not re-usable across other integration vendors. However, the rapid adoption of APIs and almost ubiquitous availability of APIs amongst most SaaS and Cloud applications are rapidly redefining traditional integration approaches and their reliance on proprietary connectors. ...

Most Outrageous Celeb Proposals
Nick showed how sweet he was on Mariah when he popped the question in April 2008. But it wasn't just his proposal: He hid the 17-carat ring in a Ring Pop wrapper! The couple were sitting on Mariah's roof, celebrating her 18th No. 1 hit single, when Nick popped the question. "I opened up a Ring Pop first ... and then I give her one, and she was like, 'It feels like mine is broken,'" he told Oprah Winfrey. "I was just like: 'Let's just open it. It's a festive moment.' And she opened it and her ring was in there." Mariah got flustered and ran away, but she said yes. A few days later, Nick asked again during a helicopter ride over Manhattan, and Mariah confirmed her initial acceptance.

I'm thinking it's time for some more sleep support, so I want to buy a pregnancy pillow. If you are using or have used one, what type of pillow do you recommend? What do you not like about using one? Is there one that can be somehow converted/used for breastfeeding later?
Pregnancy Pillows - likes / dislikes?
Posted 02/17/2013
I have the Snoogle pillow and it was so huge it kind of kicked my husband out of the bed. I need to move around and it was kind of limiting. For this pregnancy, I'll just put a pillow between my knees and one to hug. The Snoogle is currently in my son's reading tent - he loves it!
Posted 02/17/2013
I got a body pregnancy pillow the first time and hated it because everytime I wanted to move I had to move the entire huge thing! I ended up cutting it in half and just using the bottom for belly support and between my legs while laying on my side. I forget what brand it was. Maybe Bobby pregnancy pillow?
Posted 02/17/2013
I love my snoogle. I am normally a back sleeper and it comfortably puts me in the left side sleeping position ideal for the baby.
Posted 02/17/2013
I ended up returning my pillow I bought last pregnancy. It killed my neck and made turning over impossible and no room for hubby. I think they are a waste, but that's just MHO. I'll use my regular pillow between my knees and to hold my belly up when it's bigger.

I just use a body pillow I got at Ross. It works perfect but not sure how it will work when I get a bigger belly. It was cheap!
Posted 02/17/2013
I used a Snoogle my last pregnancy & I loved it. I'm ready now to bust it out again.
Posted 02/17/2013
I had a snoogle last go round. Huge and bulky. And we took the cover off after a week or so to wash it and could never get it back on so we just returned it. When the cover is off you can see how cheaply made the actual pillow is too. It was made of the exact same material our disposable pillows at the hospital were made of.
Will probably just get a regular body pillow this time.

Ex-Orion CEO Jerry Williams loses $4M Grey Oaks home in auction
NAPLES - Jerry Williams, the embattled ex-CEO of Orion Bank, has lost his grand estate in Grey Oaks.
The two-story, six-bedroom home in Naples, stretching nearly 8,400 square feet, sold at a foreclosure auction Wednesday at the Collier County Courthouse. It went back to the lender, Wells Fargo, for $51,000.
There was one competing bid, for $50,000. But the lender wasn't going to take less than $3.9 million from another buyer the other bidder quickly found out.
The foreclosure judgment - the amount owed to the lender - was $4,180,000.
Williams was indicted on bank fraud charges earlier this year. His trial is slated for February.

Publisher's Description
Mental illness, when untreated, can feel like imprisonment. This book was written to give hope to those suffering from mental illness and more specifically bipolar disorder. The struggles associated with this condition are not isolated and often create a frightening halo effect that impacts parents and other family members trying to care for a loved one who is suffering. The main purpose of this book is to offer knowledge, insight, and guidance to people and the families who support them by witnessing an intense, frightening, and ultimately joyful journey with bipolar.
We dont go through hell and back without a good reason, and I recently felt my story needed to be shared. One binding thread throughout my book is that although the mind is very strong, Gods love and will are much stronger.
I am now a happy, healthy, married mom with three beautiful children. I have been an elementary teacher for the last seventeen years and have not required major interventions or hospitalization for twenty-five years. My story can educate and offer hope to those who are struggling with bipolar disorder and want to re-establish equilibrium in their lives and the lives of those they love.

tgirlMilton, WashingtonAge: 55-65Gender: female2 Stars Out Of 5This Book has little value as a 'help' bookAugust 31, 2013tgirlMilton, WashingtonAge: 55-65Gender: femaleQuality: 2Value: 1Meets Expectations: 1The write-up on the book indicated it was about a woman who had bipolar and how she dealt with it, through faith and love of family.
I know someone with bipolar and I wanted to glean something of help from the book. Instead the book lacked cohesiveness and didn't appear to have anything to do with faith/God.
