This application is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/082,834 filed Feb. 25, 2002 now abandoned.
The present invention relates generally to a holding apparatus for a liquid-containing device and, more particularly, to a cup holding device receiving a cup and mounting it on a metal support or surface.
Cup holders have been designed to ease the handling of cups. Conventional cup holders typically have a cylindrical shape which is designed to encircle the sides of a cup while leaving its bottom essentially open. These holders can affix about the curvature of the cup. They may have a fluted appearance allowing retention of a cup with tapered sides. Cup holders have also been incorporated into other structures to provide a fixed-in-place support, such as in a dashboard, door or center section of a motor vehicle, or in the armrest of a movie theater or stadium chair. Holders may also be donned in an insulated or padded pocket of a garment or a lumbar carrying pack to free the hands of a user.
Cup holders may be constructed of a variety of materials, depending upon the intended use. For example, holders comprise of rigid materials, such as a synthetic polymer, plastic or polyethylene vinyl chloride, or flexible plastic, foam, plastic covered foam or neoprene. They may also be constructed of pressed material such as paper pulp and have multiple nubs or depressions therein.
In addition to aiding the gripability of the cup, cup holders can enhance a cup's insulation ability, block condensation or add a decorative feature.
In all of these cases where cup holders have been designed for the ease of the user, none have offered an adjustable, folding portable metal-supportable cup holder.
Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a cup holder having the capability of being supported by a metal magnetic accepting support or surface. It is a further object of the invention that the holder be adaptable to accommodate a variety of liquid-containing devices such as, for example, different types and sizes of cups, mugs, bottles and cans. In other embodiments, the magnetic holding wrap can be adapted to hold bathroom products, such as toothbrushes, toothbrush holders, razors, shampoo or conditioner bottles and other items. More particularly, an object of the invention is to provide a reusable folding cloth or reinforced neoprene magnetic wrap that can be covered having a fastener to allow the ends of the wrap to removably secure about a liquid-containing device. Another object is to provide a wrap that insulates, comforts and magnetically attaches to any magnetic accepting surface while supporting a liquid-containing device.
The present invention is directed towards an improved holder for holding a liquid-containing device and mounting it on a metal support or surface. A liquid-containing device, or as referred to generally herein as a "cup," includes, but is not limited to, a cup, mug, can, bottle, flask or other similar container. The invention generally comprises a wrap element having a first surface, a second surface, two ends, at least one attachable means on each such surface, and a magnetic means provided on or in a portion of the first surface. The wrap element has a generally elongated form, but in certain situations a square shape is better suited for the intended end use. For instance, the shape of the wrap element can be designed to cover a more, or less, substantial portion of the cup outer surface or a larger or smaller cup by altering elongation.
The wrap element is made of any material in a size and durability capable of accommodating a cup. Preferably, it is constructed of a synthetic polymer, such as polychloroprene or neoprene rubber, or foam. Neoprene rubber is known to display outstanding physical toughness, flexibility, resistance to damage from use and weather and has good resilience. The rubber may be used raw or exposed, or it can be covered with a natural or synthetic cloth for the finished wrap element. The covered wrap element offers a decorative feature as well as a protective barrier to those who may be allergic to rubber. Regardless of the cover, the wrap element first surface may have ornamental features or multiple coverings may be applied to the whole or a part of the first surface to add a decorative or textured feature.
The magnetic means may consist of one or more magnets affixed to the first surface with adhesive and covered with a patch to secure the magnet or magnets to the first surface. Alternatively, the magnetic means may sit in a crevice or indent portion of the first surface thereby making the magnet means flush with the wrap element first surface. It may also be completely embedded into the wrap element such that magnetic means is entirely or partially concealed by the wrap element . Preferably, the magnetic means is centrally positioned between the side lengths of the first surface and equal distant between the ends.
The elongated wrap element is generally shaped so that the two ends detachably engage with each other. Side lengths of the elongated wrap element may be essentially parallel to each other, creating a more uniform rectangle for accommodating an upright cup. To accommodate a tapered cup, the side lengths may have a slightly semi-circular shape. The ends are straight or generally curved to ease handleability.
One attachable means resides at the end of the first surface and another communicating attachable means resides on the opposite end of the second surface such that it can detachably engage the first surface attachable means. Attachable means comprise of fasteners such as magnetic or nylon buckles, magnets, snap locks, adjuster bars, zipper pulls, slides or cord locks. The attachment means should be capable of tightly affixing about the container and are preferably selected to offer a way of adjusting the length of the wrap element to thereby accommodate a range of cup sizes.
Generally, an embodiment of the present invention is made according to the following steps. An elongated piece of neoprene of about 1/16–� inch thick, e.g. neoprene having a rough surface and a smoother surface with a backing, is obtained. From a central part of the first surface of the neoprene at least one small square portion is removed. Preferably, the removed portion measures about �–⅝ inch in length by �–⅝ inch in width. It may extend completely through the neoprene resulting in a hole, cut just a superficial depth of the neoprene leaving a crevice on the surface. Multiple portions may be removed depending upon the desired design. For wrap elements in which the portion provides a hole, a patch such as a piece of cloth is affixed to the outside or second surface of the wrap element about the hole portion. One or more magnets are then placed into the hole or crevice. Preferably, this assembly is done by placing the wrap element on a magnetized steel and/or iron plate. The magnetized plate helps to align the magnet polarity, positive side facing outwards, reverse polarity repel hence place attracting side magnet out; or the reverse may be done.
Another cloth, preferably nylon cloth, is affixed to all or a portion of the first surface of the wrap element. VELCRO� end fasteners are affixed to opposite ends of each side of the wrap element so that both ends communicate and removably attach securely to each other. Generally, the cloth and fastener items can be affixed to the neoprene using any convenient means, such as glue, paste, staples, pins or stitches.
The user places the wrap element around a cup and fastens first attachable means to the second attachable means to securely affix it thereabout. Once securely about the cup, this combination can be mounted onto a magnetic accepting support or surface while, additionally, providing standard features associated with cup holders. Useable magnetic accepting surfaces are endless. They can range from outdoor structures, such as a galvanized light post, to an indoor wall support. To disengage the combination from the metal support, the user twists and lifts it off. The user avoids the hassle and strain of balancing a cup in situations where a metal support is nearby, such as a sign at the bus stop, a file cabinet at work, or a parking meter post. Additionally, the wrap element provides insulation to the container contents and manages possible condensation.
An important feature of this invention is that it can be designed to allow the user to use it with a variety of sized cups. Another important feature is that the strength of the magnetic means is significant while the overall weight is not burdensome to the user. Optionally, the user can also use multiple wrap elements simultaneously together, i.e., one wrap element is secured about a surface or worn about a limb of a person and another wrap element, of opposite polarity, is removably attached thereto at magnetic means.
Other features, aspects and advantages of the present invention will become better understood or apparent from a perusal of the following drawings, detailed description of the invention and appended claims.
In the drawings which are attached hereto and made a part of this disclosure:
In a presently preferred embodiment of the present invention, by reference to
In one embodiment, wrap element 11 is constructed out of a piece of neoprene having a thickness of about 1/16 to � of an inch, preferably about ⅛ of an inch. The length varies. Preferably, it is about 10 to 14 inches, and more preferably the length is about 11 to 11 � inches. First and second surfaces can have a texture to improve gripability with a cup and/or the user. Grip may be further enhanced with installation of an additional covering. A decorative pattern can be applied to the first surface 20. It may be print directly on first surface 20 or comprise an additional layer of natural or synthetic cloth, such as nylon cloth affixed thereto.
The attachment means, 21 and 31, are positioned so that when wrap element 11 is used in combination with a cup they detachably engage with each other thereby allowing the wrap element 11 to adapt tightly to the contours of the cup. In an embodiment of the invention, first surface attachment means 21 is provided near to end 12 in a position between sides 14 and 15, as shown in
Magnetic means 50 may consist of one or more magnets. In an embodiment, the magnetic means 50 consists of a relatively small magnet that has a magnetic force superior to that of a commonly known and used magnet (e.g., refrigerator magnet). Typically, such common magnets have strength of about 2.0–4.3 kilogauss. Preferably, magnetic means 50 contains a magnet 51 having a strength of about 30 to 42 MGO. In a more preferred embodiment a 35 MGO (neodymium 35) (Nd2Fe14B) magnet is used, and the magnet is about a � to � inch square in size and about 1/32 inch thick. Preferably, magnetic means 50 is centrally positioned on the first surface 20, although other positions work amply as well. In an alternative embodiment, magnetic means 50 is located at or near to an end of wrap element 11 and a corresponding attracting part is at the other end on the opposite surface of the wrap element thereby providing the dual the functionality of bat magnetic means 50 and attachment means 21 and 31.
Magnetic means 50 can be affixed to the first surface 20 with adhesive and covered with a protective coating or patch 55 to secure it to first surface 20 as illustrated in
The wrap element 11 is essentially rectangular in shape. Preferably, it has a slight curvature giving a semi-circular shape along sides 14 and 15 and rounded distal ends 12 and 13. The curvature can be adjusted to form a conical shape that accommodates tapered cups or provides greater support and gripability to traditional cylindrical cups. When in use, a user simply places wrap element 11 about a cup or mug and overlaps the two attachable ends 21 and 31 so that they securely join with each other as illustrated in
In another embodiment of the invention, attachment means 21 and 31 are incorporated into the wrap element 11 and flush with the exterior surface. One (or both) attachment means can have an adjustable point of closure with the corresponding attachment means. It can comprise a tab or extended portion. Attachment means 21 (and or 31) may form a tab portion 21 a extending the length of a part of one end of the wrap element, as in
A bottom portion 17 can be provided with the holder as illustrated in
In another embodiment, if separate, bottom portion 17 can be removably attached or partially or entirely affixed to the length 14 or 15, by any mechanism that ensures its fit, including fasteners, stitches, snaps, zippers, etc., such as in
The bottom 17 can also include a magnetic means 50 a. This may be the same or different as magnetic means 50, but preferably employs one or multiple magnets 51 a. Ideally, magnet 51 a is of the same power and dimension as that of magnet 51. It can sit on bottom 17 or in a crevice thereof, much like on the wrap element first surface 20, as shown for example in
In another embodiment, multiple cup holders 10 are used together. One wrap element 11 is secured about the arm of a wood chair. Another wrap element, holding a container, is removably attached to the first holder at their respective magnetic means. To successfully hold, the magnet means must have opposite polarity. One of the means may also be wrapped about an arm or leg of a person. It is contemplated that the invention will offer multiple applications. The length of the wrap element can be adjusted to accommodate various sizes of liquid-containing devices. For instance, in addition to holding cups and mugs, it has been designed to hold bottles for disinfectants, window wash, shampoos, etc.
Cup holder 10 can be provided with a decorative covering along a portion or the entire length as shown in
By way of an example, a cup holder was constructed in accordance with the perimeters disclosed herein. One-eighth of an inch thick piece of neoprene was cut to have a semi-curved shape. The length was about twelve inches and width of about two inches to four inches. Two pieces of VELCRO� were attached at one end of the first surface oriented essentially parallel to the end and the two cooperating pieces at the opposite end on the second surface aligned to pair with those on the first surface. Two magnets of about � inch square were affixed to the center of the first surface with a rubber cement adhesive and covered with a patch using nylon cloth.
The wrap element was then wrapped into an essentially cylindrical shape about a soda can. The combination was placed against the metal post of a street sign and positioned so the magnetic means was against the magnetic accepting surface of the post. It immediately held fast to it. The combination was tested and found to mount effectively while supporting cups containing liquids weighing up to about one pound. The combination was removed by twisting and lifting it from the post.
While the foregoing has been set forth in considerable detail, the embodiments and preferences are presented for elucidation and not limitation. It will be appreciated from the specification that various modifications of the invention and combinations of elements, variations, equivalents, or improvements therein may be made by those skilled in the art, and are still within the scope of the invention as defined in the appended claims.

PROVIDENCE – John Harwood, the attorney for the Lincoln police officer accused of kicking a seated, handcuffed woman in the head outside the Twin River casino on May 31, 2009, indicated in Superior Court on Friday he wanted to enlist the expertise of Dr. Frank Gallo as part of his client's defense.
Gallo, renowned statewide for his expertise on "use of force," is an instructor for various law enforcement agencies around the region.
PROVIDENCE — After huddling behind closed doors for two hours with mayors, town administrators and other municipal officials, Gov. Lincoln Chafee declared that 2012 "should be the year of the cities and towns.
"We can not have East Providences and Woonsockets and Coventrys and other towns being read about across the country in the Wall Street Journal and New York Times and other national publications that are going to be a detriment to the economy of Rhode Island," the governor said. "We've got to address it."

The last case of naturally occurring
smallpox was seen in 1977. In 1980, the World Health
Organization (WHO) declared the disease eradicated and recommended that all
countries cease vaccinating people against the disease. However, in response to
the possibility of smallpox being used as a biological weapon and its public
health consequences, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has
developed recommendations for very young children.
What risks does smallpox pose to very young children?
Smallpox in very young children can be severe and even fatal.
Children younger than 4 years may have a greater risk of dying from smallpox
than older children.
What risks does the vaccine pose to very young children?
All people who receive smallpox vaccine have some risks from the
vaccine. Infants younger than 1 year who are vaccinated may have a greater risk
of developing complications from the vaccine, such as brain swelling or a total
body rash. Brain swelling, which can lead to permanent brain damage or even
death, is rare, occurring in about 42 out of every 1 million infants who are
The body rash that can develop after vaccination is usually mild and
goes away on its own. In rare cases, it can be severe and require medical
Young children may be more likely than others to touch the
vaccination site with their hands and transfer vaccine virus to another part of
their body (such as the eyelids, face, mouth, or genitals), causing a similar
sore. This may be avoided by covering the site, making sure the child doesn't
touch the site, and washing the child's hands if he or she does touch
Should my child get the smallpox vaccine?
The vaccine is not recommended for children younger than age 18,
unless there has been a smallpox outbreak. In an outbreak, everyone who has
been in contact with a person with smallpox or was otherwise exposed to the
virus should receive the one-dose vaccine, regardless of age, allergies,
pregnancy, or medical conditions.
What should I do if my child is vaccinated and I think he or she is having a bad reaction?
Call a health professional right away. Tell him or her what is
happening, the date and time that it started, and when the vaccination was
given. Your health professional will advise you what to do next.

As years go by ,KTM now have so much experience they can teach the art of Rally racing ,although there don't seem to be too many younger guys coming through for KTM,
The 2 top guys have their ever faithful water carriers ,but don't seem to have anyone who will take over the reins.
Maybe Coma and Despres plan to be around a while longer yet, i hope so.
Or maybe KTM are hoping Johhny Aubert and Taddy Bluzasiak will be the new guys to come through,both exceptional riders and already in the KTM system.
KTM did have a certain young MX rider and had advised him he had to wait a while, but in waiting a more attractive and immediate offer came along
They have certainly been thinking about the future though

Are you sinking fast? Is your motivation, enthusiasm and energy coming to a screeching halt? As you blood sugar starts its downward spiral, your body clock slowly shifts into its natural lull.
You are tempted to stick your hand into the ubiquitous bowl of office candy, grab a soda or a cup of coffee or even hit the vending machines, aren't you? Candy, cookies, chips, oh my!
These are "empty calorie foods". Foods that contain few or no nutrients, but still have calories. They're laden with sugar, salt and fat! At best, you'll get a temporary jolt.
What to do?
Instead … choose a snack that is designed to get your blood sugar on track and send you happily into high gear once again. Remember, snacks aren't meant to "fill you up," but rather to help you to be "not hungry."
Peanut butter on a rice cake – YUM! Measure out one tablespoon of peanut butter and carefully and evenly spread it over two rice cakes. If possible, toast the rice cakes. They are transformed from Styrofoam to an exotic, crunchy treat.
Whole grain cereal with low-fat milk – Buy some miniboxes of healthy cereals to keep on hand with a half cup of low-fat milk.
Baby carrots and hummus – Measure out two tablespoons of hummus on a pretty, small plate. Then artistically arrange some carrots around it and dip away. Double dip if you like!

If you were visiting the ancient Olympics, you wouldn't see:
Women: The women were forbidden to participate in or even observe the games. Any woman discovered there could be thrown off a cliff! The women (young, unmarried ones) competed in a separate series of foot races called the Heraea, named in honor of Hera, the queen of the gods.
Water Sports: Despite miles and miles of beautiful coastline, water sports such as swimming were never a part of the ancient Olympic Games.
One of my patrons called me to discuss One Thousand White Women: the Journal of May Dodd by Jim Fergus. (RC 47157) This is a fictionalized account of a true incident in which an Indian delegation traveled to Washington, D.C. to negotiate a treaty.
One of the Indians was a Cheyenne leader named Little Wolf. As part of the negotiations, Little Wolf requested that his tribe be supplied with 1,000 white women, in an effort to assist in the assimilation of the Cheyenne peoples with the white man. Predictably, the request was met with derision and horror.
In Georgia Bottoms, Georgia has a lot on her plate--a mother one appetizer short of being "out to lunch," an unemployed brother more off the wagon than on, and a series of clandestine lovers scheduled six out of seven nights a week.

Fred Hochberg
Fred P. Hochberg is Chairman and President of the Export-Import Bank of the United States and one of the highest ranking business leaders in the Obama Administration.
Under his leadership, in FY 2010 Ex-Im Bank approved more authorizations to support U.S. exporters than any year in its history. This included $24.5 billion in export financing – a 70% increase over the past two years -- which supported $34.4 billion worth of exports and 227,000 American jobs at more than 3,300 U.S. companies. Of these authorizations, more than $5 billion was for small businesses—a record for the Bank. The Bank also tripled its renewable energy export financing.
During Hochberg's tenure, the Bank has increased its focus on customers, both foreign buyers and U.S. exporters. It is seeking new markets for U.S. goods and services in emerging economies with growing infrastructure needs, including Mexico, Brazil, Colombia, Turkey, India, Indonesia, Vietnam, Nigeria and South Africa. Hochberg has also worked to expand the global footprint of key domestic industries in which U.S. exporters have a comparative advantage. These include renewable energy, construction and farm machinery, medical technology, agriculture, and avionics. In addition, he has streamlined processes, cut transaction times and introduced innovative new financial products.
As head of Ex-Im Bank, Chairman Hochberg plays an essential role in President Obama's plan to double U.S. exports in five years.
As Congress Daily recently wrote, "For years Ex-Im was a minor player in the increasingly crowded world of official export finance, but Hochberg closed the competitive gap."
From 2004 to 2008, Hochberg was dean of Milano, The New School for Management and Urban Policy in New York, N.Y. From 1998 through 2001, he served as deputy, then acting administrator of the Small Business Administration (SBA), where he quadrupled lending to minority- and women-owned small businesses.
Prior to his service at SBA, Hochberg was the long-time President and Chief Operating Officer of the Lillian Vernon Corporation, where he led the transformation of a small, family mail order company into an international, publically traded direct marketing corporation.
Hochberg is a past board member of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, the Citizens Budget Commission, and FINCA International Micro Finance. He was also an appointed representative to the New York State Financial Control Board.
A native of the greater New York metropolitan area, Hochberg received his undergraduate degree from New York University and his MBA from Columbia University. Hochberg's partner is writer Tom Healy.

The Latest: Soldier to speak about Afghan massacre
JOINT BASE LEWIS-MCCHORD, Wash. Staff Sgt. Robert Bales, the American soldier from Lake Tapps, Ohio, charged with killing 16 Afghan civilians during nighttime raids on two villages last year, pleaded guilty Wednesday to avoid the death penalty. This is what AP reporters and photographers at Joint Base Lewis-McChord south of Seattle are learning about the events unfolding (in Pacific Time):
WHY? `NOT A GOOD REASON IN THIS WORLD,' 11:01 a.m. - As for the motivation behind the horrific slayings, Bales told the judge: "Sir, as far as why: I've asked that question a million times since then. There's not a good reason in this world for why I did the horrible things I did."
`HOW DO YOU KNOW THEY'RE DEAD?,' 10:56 a.m. - The judge asked Bales of the victims: "How do you know they're dead?" Bales answered that he has seen the Army's investigation report, Afghan investigation report and heard testimony to that effect during a hearing last fall. "I formed the intent as I raised my weapon prior to shooting them, sir." Judge: "Was it your intent to end the lives of the persons you were aiming your weapon at?" Bales: "Yes, sir."
SOLDIER SPEAKS, 10:43 a.m. - After a lengthy review of the charges, the judge said to Bales: "What I want you to do now is tell me in your own words why you believe you're guilty of these offenses." Bales reads from a statement in a clear and steady voice, describing his actions for each killing in the same terms: "I left the VSP (Village Stability Platform at Belambay) and went to the nearby village of Alkozai. While inside a compound in Alkozai, I observed a female I now know to be Na'ikmarga. I formed the intent to kill Na'ikmarga, and I did kill Na'ikmarga by shooting her with a firearm. This act was without legal justification, sir."
VICTIMS NAMED, 10:24 a.m. - The judge read the names of two girls Bales wounded - Robina and Zardana - which evoked last fall's hearing when those young victims testified in bright head coverings and sipped from juice boxes. The judge was reading the names of the victims referred to in each charge.
NO QUESTIONS, 10:20 a.m. - Bales has had no questions for the judge about any of the premeditated or attempted murder charges.
JUDGE BREAKS DOWN CHARGES, - 9:56 a.m. - For each murder charge, the judge, Col. Jeffery Nance, asked Bales whether he understood the four elements: that the victim is dead; that the death resulted from Bales' actions; that the killing was unlawful; and that the killing was premeditated.
HEARING RESUMES, - 9:49 a.m. - After a brief recess, the hearing continued with the judge asking Bales about his guilty pleas in the slayings. Judge: "Is everything in the stipulation true?" Bales: "Yes, sir." The judge asked if there is anything in the stipulation that Bales does not want to admit to as true. Bales: "No, sir."

Exactly. I'm sure everyone recognized him, and were quite happy to yield command to a proven leader. They wouldn't blame him for being Locutus, because everyone knows that drones have no choice when they're assimilated. Not even Picard.
Boy they're sure lucky they just didn't use voice clips of him from when he was Locutus to patch together a message. "This is Captain Picard. Lower your shields. It will confuse the Borg targetting sensors."

Schmidt to take greater role in U.S. cybersecurity
- Related Stories
Security groups call for education, alert systemsMarch 18, 2004
Cybersecurity task forces push for resultsDecember 4, 2003
Execs aim to teach better securityNovember 12, 2003
Schmidt, the chief security officer of online auctioneer eBay, currently cooperates with Carnegie Mellon University's Software Engineering Institute and that group's Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT) Coordination Center to advise the nation's incident response team. The Department of Homeland Security has asked him to play a greater part, he said. He has agreed but is currently discussing the details with the Department of Homeland Security and eBay.
"I will take a more active role," he said.
Howard Schmidt
"The pieces that are in place are going to require more activity and a more in-depth role that you can't do by meeting only once a quarter," he said.
The details are still being discussed, he said, adding that no title has yet been decided upon. He will not be working as part of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, but rather with Carnegie Mellon's CERT Coordination Center.
DHS officials did not immediately reply to requests for comment on Schmidt's role.
Amit Yoran, who succeeded Schmidt as top cybersecurity official in the United States, resigned this month, a little more than a year after joining the Department of Homeland Security. He was tasked with carrying out a major part of the initiatives outlined in President Bush's cybersecurity plan, which some argue he couldn't accomplish because he lacked direct access to Homeland Security Secretary Tom Ridge.
Schmidt worked as Microsoft's chief security officer and then, from January 2002 to April 2003, as the vice chairman of the White House's National Critical Infrastructure Protection Board.
Schmidt stressed that with this latest move, he is not "going back to government," but rather working with government and private industry.

I am using three20 to present a photo essay of a story I made after the February earthquake in Chile. I would like the app to display portrait type images when iPad device is in portrait orientation and landscape type images when iPad device is in landscape orientation. So there would be two versions of every image, one cropped for portrait viewing and one cropped for landscape viewing and the app would show the version that is appropriate for the orientation the device is in.
I will crop these image versions separately. That way, the app would make full use of the screen in all orientations and users will read the story like a magazine. Ideally, the view would change over to the corresponding image, staying where it is in the sequence of images, when the user rotates the device, so from portrait #4 to landscape #4 and vice versa, for example. But, if this is not possible, jumping back to the first image whenever iPad device is rotated is acceptable as well (push to separate TTImageViews maybe?)
The idea is to give to user the experience he is reading an illustrated story in all orientations. Can this be done? If so, can you give some clues?
If it can not be done putting a specific image in the background with the image viewer overlaying it may also be a solution. If separate fullscreen views for each orientation are not possible, then at least I would like to get rid of the black "autoresizing mask" parts of the screen..
Many thanks! diederik

41 year old man | Washington, DC, USA | Seeking women 25-34 in District of Columbia, United States
Active within 24 hours
I grew up and went to university in the UK,...
I grew up and went to university in the UK, and later moved to Hong Kong where I spent a few years working hard, and playing harder. I later moved to New York where I lived in Manhattan for seven wonderful, maddening, exhilarating, and exasperating (often all in the course of a single evening) years. I now live in DC, though the travel bug has thankfully yet to really discover a vaccine. In terms of describing myself, the most obvious feature is my British accent. That's it - I'm a one trick-pony. That said, if you like that particular trick, it's not a bad one (and it leaves everyone with far fewer burns than juggling torches). I'm not a fan of the exclamation mark, though acknowledge that my over-use of the parenthesis flirts dangerously close with the informality of the ! that I dislike so much. I suppose that makes me a self-hating grammarian. On the upside though, I love the semi-colon, even though most Americans apparently find it unnecessary and pretentious - a critique that probably holds true for the British in general. Beyond that, I'm tall, slim, and in possession of what might politely be called a dry wit. While I wish that I had better hair, I've been told that I have nice eyes, long-eye-lashes, and much better teeth than my countrymen are rumored to have. They require relatively little maintenance, so I probably come out ahead. To be upfront, I am the father of two beautiful and smart (often excessively so) little girls. If you see a car driving around DC one weekend with two cute blondes in the back seat belting out the songs of Grouplove, Taylor Swift (I'm not ashamed to admit that I like her, even if it does potentially kill my otherwise respectable Indie music creds), or even a little Decemberists, chances are that it's us. I am a disciple of the temple at 9th and V, otherwise known as the 9.30 Club. To explain why I love the place so much would be to waste hours of perfectly fascinating/boring (delete as deemed personally applicable) conversation, but suffice to say the dingy concrete bunker is up there in my top places in the world. To name the bands that I am into would be exhaustive (not to mention exhausting). Go to their website, close your eyes, and point at the screen - there is a 75% chance that I'll be at that show. Like many English majors, I went through a period after graduation where I feared that it had killed my love of literature, but fortunately that proved not to be the case. My tastes run wide, including John Irving, Ian McEwan, Jonathan Coe, and Philip Kerr. I am also a huge fan of Chuck Klosterman, and only wish that my own pop culture musings had a fraction of the wit and self-knowing style that his do. While I am very into personal physical exercise - I run or cycle almost every day - I must admit that I am not especially into watching sports. Blame it on my having grown up overseas, but my knowledge of American professional sports is...well, let's just say that if you're on here looking for someone to round out that aspect of your bar trivia team, then I would recommend moving on elsewhere. As for what I'm looking for, I don't think that we need to be clones of each other, but I do believe strongly in commonality of interests and personality. I tend to get on well with young (either in actuality or at heart) and energetic personalities, who share my fondness for pop culture and travel. For what it's worth, I'm an ENFP ("The Inspirer") if that helps with assessing compatibility.

Exercise may be one of the best moves you can make, even if you have heart disease.
Consider just a few of the possible benefits of exercise:
- Strengthens your heart
- May improve congestive heart failure symptoms
- Lowers your blood pressure
- Makes you stronger
- Helps you reach (and stay at) a healthy weight
- Helps manage stress
- Boosts your mood and self-esteem
- Improves sleep
Your cardiologist or regular doctor may have already talked with you about setting up an exercise routine and let you know what's safe for you to do. If not, ask them:
- How much exercise can I do each day?
- How often can I exercise each week?
- What types of activities should I try, and what should I avoid?
- Should I take my medication(s) at a certain time around my exercise schedule?
- Should I take my pulse while exercising? What should it be?
- What warning signs should I watch out for while exercising?
Types of Exercise
Your workout plan will generally include these two main kinds:
- Cardiovascular or aerobic exercise. This is the type that benefits your heart most. Examples include walking, jogging, jumping rope, bicycling, skiing, skating, rowing, and aerobics or cardio classes. These strengthen your heart and lungs. Over time, aerobic exercise can help your blood pressure and improve your breathing, and then your heart won't have to work as hard during exercise.
- Strength training. These exercises tone and build up your muscles. You may use hand weights, weight machines at a gym, or your own body weight. Typically, you do several sets of each exercise, and then let those muscles rest a day or two between sessions.
Stretching also helps. Do this gently, after you're done with your workout. Never stretch so far that it hurts, and don't stretch until you've warmed up.
You may want to work with a certified personal trainer, ideally one who has helped people who have heart disease, at least at first.

Measles: Questions and Answers
Information about the disease and vaccines
Obesity is a national and local epidemic. More than half of all adults living in DC are overweight or obese; rates climb to over 72% in the District's Wards East of the River (Wards 7 and 8). Racial disparities with regards to obesity in the District are extreme, for example, less than one in every ten White District residents are obese, whereas one in every three African Americans in the District are obese.
Strategies that address access to eat healthy foods and opportunities to be physically active are critical to prevention and management of obesity and chronic disease.
Due to the importance of healthy eating and active living, Bureau of Cancer and Chronic Disease (BCCD) is committed to a range of strategies that promote healthy eating, physical activity, and living well with chronic conditions for all DC residents across the lifespan (babies, toddlers, children, youth, adults, and seniors) in a variety of settings (community, schools, workplaces, clinical, faith based institutions and more).

Rare Superb Gem Proof, Wire Rim
The earliest appearances of proof High Reliefs trace their origins to the collection of Chief Engraver Charles Barber, whose controversial role in the production of Saint-Gaudens' design is well documented elsewhere. The first auction appearance of the issue was in the Adolphe Menjou Collection (Numismatic Gallery, 6/1950), lot 1846. According to the lengthy lot description, the coin was obtained from "the widow of a gentleman associated with the Mint in 1907." The cataloger further states that two High Relief proofs were purchased from the lady, and these were "the only two proof specimens that have come to our attention."
One year later a proof High Relief was offered in the ANA Sale (Jim Kelly, 8/1951), lot 770A. In his lot description Kelly offered considerable information about the identity of the gentleman associated with the Mint:
"Acknowledged as the most beautiful United States coin, it has always been very popular with collectors as well as noncollectors. However, with all its popularity, there has always been a mystery surrounding Proofs of this issue. Only one specimen has been offered at public sale, Lot No. 1846 in the Menjou Sale.
"With due respect to the cataloguer, I believe I am publishing for the first time the correct history and number of these coins struck. Mr. Newcomer, the famous numismatist, purchased these coins from the Barber Collection. Mr. Barber was one of the head engravers at the Mint during this period. There was a note with these coins stating that 'There were only five pieces struck on a medal press.'
"I am indebted to Mr. Wayte Raymond for this information. He purchased all five pieces when he bought the Newcomer Collection."
The fact that the coins came from Barber's collection should dispel any doubt about the coin's proof status. As chief engraver of the Mint, Barber would certainly understand the criteria for a proof coin, and he knew the circumstances of the coin's production better than anyone else. Breen points out the fact that there are considerably more than five specimens of proof High Relief double eagles known today, but Barber may have meant that only five specimens were struck at the particular time when this group of coins was created.
Breen reports the coin in Kelly's description was made using edge collar 1, distinguished by the level bases of the M in UNUM. Research by proof gold specialist Dr. Robert Loewinger indicates that examples produced with this collar are of the Flat Rim variety. Only six Flat Rim High Reliefs have been certified as of this writing. If only one of the recorded submission events is a resubmission, the number of specimens certified would coincide exactly with the number Barber reports struck. Barber may well have given an accurate account of the striking of the Flat Rim High Reliefs in his note.
The present coin is of the more available Wire Rim variety. As with all High Relief proofs, the design elements are sharply delineated. The central detail is crisp, and the peripheral elements are razor-sharp. All berries are discernibly rounded, and the eight Capitol pillars are countable. The surfaces are pristine, with bright yellow-gold color, and even, satiny luster. Numerous swirling die-polish lines are evident on both sides. This example is one of the finest survivors of the most celebrated coin issue of the 20th century and is a deserving candidate for a Registry Set. Census: 11 in 67, 3 finer (11/10). (PCGS# 9132)

Journal of Mathematical Physics, since 1960, publishes some of the best papers from outstanding mathematicians and physicists. It was the first journal in the field of mathematical physics and publishes research that connects the application of mathematics to problems in physics, as well as illustrates the development of mathematical methods suitable for such applications and for the formulation of physical theories.
Editor's Picks
With this paper, we provide a mathematical review on the initial-value problem of the one-particle Dirac equation on space-like Cauchy hypersurfaces for compactly supported external potentials. We, first, discuss the physically relevant spaces of solutions and initial values in position and mass shell representation; second, review the action of the Poincaré group as well as gauge transformations on those spaces; third, introduce generalized Fourier transforms between those spaces and prove convenient Paley-Wiener- and Sobolev-type estimates. These generalized Fourier transforms immediately allow the construction of a unitary evolution operator for the free Dirac equation between the Hilbert spaces of square-integrable wave functions of two respective Cauchy surfaces. With a Picard-Lindelöf argument, this evolution map is generalized to the Dirac evolution including the external potential. For the latter, we introduce a convenient interaction picture on Cauchy surfaces. These tools immediately provide another proof of the well-known existence and uniqueness of classical solutions and their causal structure.
We show that in graphene, modelled by the two-dimensional Dirac operator, charge distributions with non-vanishing dipole moment have infinitely many bound states. The corresponding eigenvalues accumulate at the edges of the gap faster than any power.
At the interface of two two-dimensional quantum systems, there may exist interface currents similar to edge currents in quantum Hall systems. It is proved that these interface currents are macroscopically quantized by an integer that is given by the difference of the Chern numbers of the two systems. It is also argued that at the interface between two time-reversal invariant systems with half-integer spin, one of which is trivial and the other non-trivial, there are dissipationless spin-polarized interface currents.
In this paper, we study the evolution of superoscillating initial data for the quantum driven harmonic oscillator. Our main result shows that superoscillations are amplified by the harmonic potential and that the analytic solution develops a singularity in finite time. We also show that for a large class of solutions of the Schrödinger equation, superoscillating behavior at any given time implies superoscillating behavior at any other time.
The Hamiltonian of an atom with N electrons and a fixed nucleus of infinite mass between two parallel planes is considered in the limit when the distance a between the planes tends to zero. We show that this Hamiltonian converges in the norm resolvent sense to a Schrödinger operator acting effectively in whose potential part depends on a. Moreover, we prove that after an appropriate regularization this Schrödinger operator tends, again in the norm resolvent sense, to the Hamiltonian of a two-dimensional atom (with the three-dimensional Coulomb potential-one over distance) as a → 0. This makes possible to locate the discrete spectrum of the full Hamiltonian once we know the spectrum of the latter one. Our results also provide a mathematical justification for the interest in the two-dimensional atoms with the three-dimensional Coulomb potential.

A modified Lax-Phillips scattering theory for quantum mechanicsView Description Hide Description
The Lax-Phillips scattering theory is an appealing abstract framework for the analysis of scattering resonances. Quantum mechanical adaptations of the theory have been proposed. However, since these quantum adaptations essentially retain the original structure of the theory, assuming the existence of incoming and outgoing subspaces for the evolution and requiring the spectrum of the generator of evolution to be unbounded from below, their range of applications is rather limited. In this paper, it is shown that if we replace the assumption regarding the existence of incoming and outgoing subspaces by the assumption of the existence of Lyapunov operators for the quantum evolution (the existence of which has been proved for certain classes of quantum mechanical scattering problems), then it is possible to construct a structure analogous to the Lax-Phillips structure for scattering problems for which the spectrum of the generator of evolution is bounded from below.f
On square-integrability of solutions of the stationary Schrödinger equation for the quantum harmonic oscillator in two dimensional constant curvature spacesView Description Hide Description
In this work, one provides a justification of the condition that is usually imposed on the parameters of the hypergeometric equation, related to the solutions of the stationary Schrödinger equation for the harmonic oscillator in two-dimensional constant curvature spaces, in order to determine the solutions which are square-integrable. One proves that in case of negative curvature, it is a necessary condition of square integrability and in case of positive curvature, a necessary condition of regularity. The proof is based on the analytic continuation formulas for the hypergeometric function. It is observed also that the same is true in case of a slightly more general potential than the one for harmonic oscillator.f
Semi-classical trace asymptotics for magnetic Schrödinger operators with Robin conditionView Description Hide Description
We compute the sum and number of eigenvalues for a certain class of magnetic Schrödinger operators in a domain with boundary. Functions in the domain of the operator satisfy a (magnetic) Robin condition. The calculations are valid in the semi-classical asymptotic limit and the eigenvalues concerned correspond to eigenstates localized near the boundary of the domain. The formulas we derive display the influence of the boundary and the boundary condition and are valid under a weak regularity assumption of the boundary function. Our approach relies on three main points: reduction to the boundary, construction of boundary coherent states, and handling the boundary term as a surface electric potential and controlling the errors by various Lieb-Thirring inequalities.f
