This invention relates to an apparatus for testing water samples, and more particularly to portable incubators for testing water samples outside the laboratory setting.
Water quality is an issue that has become of increasing concern to people in North America and around the world. Bottled water sales and water purification system sales have increased greatly in the past twenty years as consumers place less trust in the water obtained from their taps and wells. Generally, people are concerned about pollutants and harmful microbes in their tap water. Many homes in rural areas around the world obtain their water from wells located on the homeowner's property. The quality of water from these wells can be compromised due to runoff from farm properties and natural disasters such as earthquakes, floods etc.
Some jurisdictions require that the water be tested on construction of a well. Other jurisdictions provide water testing for private well water on a regular basis either free of charge or for a fee to homeowners.
At present the microbial testing of water samples from wells is done in a large incubator in a laboratory. Homeowners obtain a small sterile bottle from a laboratory and fill it with water obtained from their well or tap and take the water sample in to a centralized testing laboratory. The laboratory prepares the sample with a reagent and places it with other water samples in a large sealed incubator. A heating element is activated to a desired temperature and the air within the incubator is heated over a period of many hours to encourage the growth of any microbes in the water. If there are microbes in a given water sample, the reagent will change the color of the water sample to indicate their presence. The laboratory will then inform the homeowner of the results of the test generally within a week to ten days.
There are a number of disadvantages to this method of water testing. The process is very time-consuming and it can take many days to detect a water quality problem. In that time, the homeowner may be consuming microbes threatening their health.
The process is also inconvenient and lends itself to infrequent testing. The homeowner must first obtain a sterile bottle from a laboratory and transport the collected water sample in the sterile bottle from their home to the laboratory which may be far away. As well, the sample must be delivered to the laboratory in a cool condition (around 4� C.) in a timely manner to keep the microbes in a viable state for the test to be meaningful and provide a valid test result. As a result of the time, effort and cost involved, homeowners are not testing their water as frequently as they should. It is also costly for the government to purchase and maintain the incubator and to provide testing services to the general public.
In addition, there are problems with the lab environment. Multiple handling of the sample can increase potential errors. Further delays occur when laboratories perform batch testing rather than running individual samples immediately when they are received. Clerical errors and time delay can jeopardize the health of those people whose wells are being tested.
Accordingly, there is a need for a portable water sample testing apparatus that is inexpensive, convenient and accurate. Such an apparatus should be designed to be small and easy to operate by non-technical personnel.
In one aspect, the invention provides a portable incubator for heating fluids comprising:
a) a housing;
b) at least one heating element positioned within the housing;
c) a specimen container positioned within the housing having at least one recess for receiving the at least one heating element.
In another aspect the invention provides a portable incubator comprising:
a) a housing;
b) a specimen container placed within said housing;
c) a heating element located proximal to said specimen container;
d) a heating controller for controlling the heating element, the heating controller maintaining the temperature of the air within the incubator within a preset range.
In another aspect the invention provides a specimen bottle for water testing comprising:
(a) a bottle section, the bottle section having at least one recess for receiving a heating element and at least one recess for receiving a temperature sensor;
(b) a removable cap for sealing the specimen bottle; and
(c) a reagent for microbial testing.
The invention will now be described, by way of example only, with reference to the following drawings, in which:
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a portable incubator in accordance with the present invention;
FIG. 2 is a sectional front-view of the incubator taken along line 2—2 of FIG. 1;
FIG. 3 is a sectional front-view of an alternative embodiment of portable incubator in accordance with the present invention.
FIG. 4 is a sectional view of a third embodiment of portable incubator in accordance with the present invention.
FIG. 5 is a top view of a sample tray for the incubator of FIG. 4.
Referring generally to FIGS. 1 and 2, illustrated therein is a portable incubator 10 made in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention. Portable incubator 10 comprises a housing 12, a heating element 14, a temperature sensor 16, a specimen container 18 and a control chamber 20.
Housing 12 is a generally cylindrical enclosure comprising a base enclosure 22 and a removable cap 24. Optionally, housing 12 is insulated. Base enclosure 22 defines a cylindrical control chamber 20 and one end of base enclosure 22 comprises an incubation wall 26. Incubation wall 26 is provided with an open-ended cylindrical lip 28 extending outwardly from control chamber 20. Cylindrical lip 28 has an outer diameter that is preferably less than the outer diameter of base enclosure 22. Removable cap 24 is generally cylindrical having a closed top. Removable cap 24 is placed such that the open end of the cap fits snugly around cylindrical lip 28. When so placed, removable cap 24 and incubation wall 26 define an incubation chamber 30. Removable cap 24 is optionally provided with a pressure ball 31 mounted on the inside of the uppermost surface of removable cap 24. Incubation wall 27 is provided with a foam base 27 with suitable apertures for temperature sensor 16 and heating element 14. As well, removable cap 24 may be a thermally efficient cap such as a double walled cap with a vacuum or inert gas between the double walls. Such a cap would slow the rate of heat transfer to the environment. As well,
A heating element 14 is mounted on incubation wall 26. Heating element 14 as shown in FIG. 2 is a tapered and elongated member although any shape may be used. Heating element 14 extends upward through a substantial portion of incubation chamber 30.
A temperature sensor 16 also extends upwardly from incubation wall 26. Temperature sensor 16 as shown in FIG. 2 is generally elongated and tapered. Preferably, temperature sensor 16 is capable of reading temperatures to within 0.1� C. Temperature sensor 16 may comprise a thermistor 17 mounted on the top of a sleeve 19.
Specimen container 18 comprises a specimen cap 32 and a specimen bottle 34. Specimen bottle 34 is generally cylindrical with heating cavity 36 and sensor cavity 38 to allow for the placement of heating element 14 and temperature sensor 16 respectively proximal to any liquid within specimen container 18. Heating cavity 36 is designed to allow for a very small air gap between heating element 14 and the outer wall of heating cavity 36 for efficient transfer of heat to the sample. Similarly, sensor cavity 38 is designed to allow for a very small air gap between temperature sensor 16 and the outer wall of sensor cavity 38 so as to obtain an accurate sample temperature.
Control chamber 20 further comprises a power source 40 and a heating element controller 42. Power source 40 may be a battery or may comprise an electrical input from a power cord or may be any other suitable power source known in the art.
Heating element controller 42 serves to control the operation of heating element 14 and obtain temperature readings from temperature sensor 16. Optionally, heating element controller also further comprises a timer (not shown) for measuring the time since the start of a test and for shutting off power to heating element 14 at the end of a preset time. Heating element controller 42 is designed to keep the temperature of the water in specimen container 18 within a preset range. For coliform testing in water, a pre-set temperature of 35� C. with a range of +/−0.5� C. is preferable.
In use, specimen cap 32 is detached from specimen bottle 34 and water, or any other liquid to be tested, is placed within specimen bottle 34. An appropriate reagent is dissolved in the water. The reagent is preferably a chemical designed to change the color of the water in the water sample to indicate the presence or absence of microbes. Examples of such reagents are
1) IDEXX—Colilert�
3) EBPI—ColiBag™
4) VLPI—PurTest™ Bacteria
Specimen cap 32 is then fastened to specimen bottle 34.
Removable cap 24 is removed from incubator 10 by twisting removable cap 24 off cylindrical lip 28. Specimen container 18 is then placed within incubation chamber 30 with heating element 14 and temperature sensor 16 fitting within heating cavity 36 and sensor cavity 38 respectively. Removable cap 24 is put back on incubator 10 and pressure ball 31 serves to press specimen container 18 into foam base 27. The base of heating cavity 36 fits snugly around the base of heating element 14, while the base of sensor cavity 38 fits snugly around the base of temperature sensor 16.
Heating element controller 42 is then activated, causing heating element 14 to be heated to a temperature above that of the desired temperature of the water to be tested. Heating element 14 heats the air in the gap between heating element 14 and specimen bottle 34 and which in turn heats the liquid within specimen container 18. Because the air gap between heating element 14 and heating cavity 34 is so small, and because of the snug fit of heating element 14 in the base of heating cavity 36, almost all of the heat energy produced by heating element 14 is transferred to the water in specimen bottle 32. Since heating element 14 protrudes deep into specimen container 18, the sample is heated efficiently from the inside.
Temperature sensor 16 serves to read the temperature of the air between sensor cavity 38 and temperature sensor 16 which is heated by the water within specimen container 18. Because the air gap between temperature sensor 16 and sensor cavity 36 is so small, the fact that air changes temperature much faster than water and the fact that temperature sensor 16 reads the temperature near the centre of specimen bottle 34, the temperature of the water is quickly reflected in the air gap and the temperature read by temperature sensor 16 will closely approximate the temperature of the water in specimen bottle 32.
Heating element controller 42 obtains the temperature reading from temperature sensor 16. When the temperature of the water within specimen bottle 34 reaches a preset level, heating element controller 42 deactivates heating element 14. Temperature sensor 16 continues to read the temperature of the water within specimen container 18. When the temperature of the water within specimen container 18 falls to a second preset level, heating element controller 42 activates heating element 14 to heat the water within specimen container 18. Thus, the water within specimen container 18 is heated to within a preset temperature range. If temperature sensor 16 is a thermistor capable of reading temperature to +/−0.1� C., then the temperature range of the water in specimen bottle 34 may be kept to within +/−0.1� C. of a desired temperature. This degree of precision will improve the accuracy of the water test.
The water sample is heated in this fashion for a number of hours in order to encourage the growth of any microbes in the water sample. After a preset time, specimen container 18 is removed from incubator 10 and the color of the water is observed. After the water has been heated for a preset time, the power can be manually shut off or, optionally, a timer will shut off power source 40. Any microbes in the water will react with the reagent and cause a color change in the water by this preset time. Optionally, a visible or audible signal is activated by the timer indicating that the preset time has passed.
It will be appreciated that incubator 10 may be provided with multiple heating elements and that specimen container 18 may be provided with multiple cavities to receive those heating elements. As well, the spatial configuration of the various elements of the incubator may be altered significantly without departing from the present invention. For example, the incubator may be configured for side loading of the specimen bottle with heating elements extending sideways into cavities in the specimen bottle. As well, control chamber 20 and the elements therein may be separated from the main incubator or reoriented within incubator 10.
As well, it will also be appreciated that this design may be adapted to test multiple samples within multiple specimen containers using the same temperature controller and/or power source.
In an alternative embodiment to the present invention shown in FIG. 3, portable incubator 10 comprises a housing 50, a lid 52, a resistance heater 54 and a specimen container 56.
As shown in FIG. 3, housing 50 comprises cylindrical side wall 58 and base 60. Housing 50 is optionally insulated. Within housing 50 is an inner wall 62 comprising cylindrical incubation side wall 64, incubation base 66 and an annular flange 68. Annular flange 68 extends outwardly from the open top of incubation side wall 64. Inner wall 62 is placed such that the outer edge of annular flange 68 rests on the top of side wall 58. An air gap 70 separates side wall 58 from incubation side wall 64 and base 60 from incubation base 66.
Inner wall 62 is preferably a thin walled plastic for good heat transfer.
Lid 52 is a flat circular member having a cylindrical lip 72 extending downwardly therefrom. Cylindrical lip 72 is designed to fit snugly inside the top of incubation side wall 64. In a variant to the present invention, lid 52 may be a threaded cap designed to screw on to housing 50. As well, lid 52 is optionally insulated.
Specimen container 56 may be any standard specimen container known in the art having a specimen bottle 74 and a specimen cap 76. Specimen container 56 is designed to fit inside inner wall 62 leaving a minimal inner air gap 78.
A heater housing 80 is located within air gap 70 and is a generally cylindrical member having a heater housing side wall 82, a heater housing base 84 and an annular lip 86. Heater housing 80 is mounted on the outside of inner wall 62 such that a small resistor gap 88 is formed between the outer surface of inner wall 62 and the inner surface of heater housing 80. Resistance heater 54 is placed within heater housing 80 in the resistor gap 88. Resistance heater 54 may comprise a resistor, resistor wire, resistor coil, resistor foil, etc. In the case of resistor wire 54 shown in FIG. 3, the length of the resistor wire is dictated by the desired temperature and the ohms per foot rating of the resistor wire.
Within air gap 70 there is also provided a control chamber 90. Control chamber 90 houses a heating controller 94 and may optionally also have a timer (not shown). Resistance heater 54 is connected to a power source 92 and heating controller 94. Power source 92 may be an electrical input from a power cord or a battery. Heating controller 94 may be a bimetal switch placed between power source 92 and resistance heater 54. The bimetal switch is preferably chosen to open and cut off electrical contact between power source 92 and resistance heater 54 when the air within control chamber 90 reaches a preset temperature. If the temperature falls below a preset level, the bimetal switch will close and reconnect electrical contact with power source 92 allowing resistance heater 54 to be powered.
In use, specimen bottle 74 is filled with water to be tested and an appropriate reagent is dissolved in the water. Specimen bottle 74 is closed with specimen cap 76 and placed within inner wall 62 leaving a small inner air gap 78 between specimen bottle 74 and inner wall 62. Lid 52 is then placed on incubator 10 with cylindrical lip 72 fitting snugly inside the top of incubation side wall 64. Power source 92 is activated and power flows to resistance heater 54. Resistance heater 54 heats up as a result and the air within inner air gap 78 is heated as well. As a result of heat transfer from the air through specimen bottle 74 into the water, the temperature of the water rises. The efficiency of the heat transfer to the water sample inside specimen bottle 74 is dictated by the plastic material of wall 64 and its thickness, the heat loss at the junction of lip 72 and cap 52 and the insulation efficiency of the incubator chamber 58. When the temperature of the air within control chamber 90 reaches a preset level (which is reflected in the temperature of the air in air gap 78), heating controller 94 disconnects resistance heater 54 from power source 92. When the temperature falls below a second preset temperature, heating controller 94 reconnects power source 92 and resistance heater 54 and the air is heated. Thus, the water within specimen container 56 is maintained within a preset temperature range.
After the water has been heated for a preset time, the power can be manually shut off or, optionally, a timer will shut off power source 92. Any microbes in the water will react with the reagent and cause a color change in the water by this preset time. Optionally, a visible or audible signal is activated by the timer indicating that the preset time has passed.
It will be appreciated that in the embodiment shown in FIG. 3, specimen bottle 74 may be provided with a sensor cavity similar to that found in specimen bottle 34 of FIG. 2 for receiving control chamber 90 or heating controller 94 so as to obtain more precise temperature readings.
FIG. 4 shows a third embodiment of the invention. Incubator 98 comprises a sample tray 100, resistance heater 102, a housing 104, power source 108 and temperature controller 110.
Sample tray 100 is shown in greater detail in FIG. 5. It is a rectangular tray comprising rows of microcups 106 for receiving water to be tested. Sample tray 100 is placed within housing 104 between two flat layers of resistance heater 102. Resistance heater 102 may be a resistance foil, resistance wire etc. Resistance heater 102 is connected to temperature controller 108 which is in turn connected to power source 110. Temperature controller 108 may comprise a thermistor or a bimetal switch as described above. Power source 110 may comprise any power source described above.
In use, water to be tested is mixed with an appropriate reagent and poured into microcups 106. Sample tray 100 is placed within housing 104 between the layers (or coils as the case may be) of resistance heater 102. Sample tray 100 is optionally covered with a tray cover 112. Power source 110 is activated and power flows to resistance heater 102, heating the air within housing 104 and the water in microcups 106. Temperature controller 110 serves to maintain the temperature of the water within a preset range as described in the above embodiments. After a preset time has elapsed, sample tray 100 is removed from housing 104 and the water in the microcups is observed. By counting the number of microcups in which the water has changed color, a tester can determine not only that microbes are present in the sample, but the level of microbial contamination. This apparatus would be useful in situations where levels of contamination are important such as water testing at beaches.
It is to be understood that what has been described are preferred embodiments to the invention. The invention nonetheless is susceptible to certain changes and alternative embodiments fully comprehended by the spirit of the invention as described above, and the scope of the claims set out below.

To anon5.46. If you are in HK then you might know the market and your comment may be justified, if not then your comment is, at best, uninformed.
I am not at SJB but I do work in HK and have done for some time. SJB have some very good people here. Denton's has just restarted having made a very public exit from Asia about 6 years ago so they need to rebuild their brand and quickly. It is not surprising that they have been out shopping.
What do you have to say about HS losing a handful of partners recently, or Mallesons losing two last week, or Freshfields losing a few not so long back .
The HK market is very fluid with 35 new entrants this year alone and partner moves are pretty frequent because of this. This is not news.
Anonymous 7 December 2011 at 14:23
To anonymous @5.19. SJB have been in HK for a relatively short while and to lose their founding partner within 2 years is news. Comparing them with other long established firms misses the point. They are still a new office and are very much struggling by all accounts.
Julian Hedgefund 7 December 2011 at 16:00
I know you have all been waiting for my comments with baited breath and I will try not to disappoint you.
I agree with email@example.com – given the short time SJB have had a HK office, you would expect them to hold onto their Asia managing partner for more than 2 yrs. Even Wayne Bridge could probably keep his girlfriend for longer.
However, I don't really want to kick them in the head again when they are constantly on the canvas, it just seems too callous. Even I have something of a heart at Christmas.
Anonymous 7 December 2011 at 23:11
Julian, it's very thoughtful of you to post as Paddy in order to set up a typically incisive comment but by now you really should feel sufficiently emboldened to post your beautifully crafted prose without being told to do so (by your alter ego [emphasis on ego]).
Julian Hedgefund 8 December 2011 at 07:23
The real Julian Hedgefund here – the one who does style without effort and can spell 'bated'.
Liew's track record suggests a man in a hurry. Who can blame him? No one makes it in law these days by sitting tight and hoping their firm will do right by them.
Not that SNR Denton is everyone's dream move. But from SJB one just doesn't lateral into Skadden.
Does Liew's move signify something broader about SJB? I don't know. What I do know is that people in London are waiting for Blake to retire.
Anonymous 13 December 2011 at 09:22
There has been a lot of chatter in HK about SJB messing up its foundation in HK and that its track record since then has been patchy – perhaps that is unjustified but Blake has taken the hit internally – another nail in his coffin I guess. Is this why they sent a big hitter from London to "consult" (aka direct) on the development of the Asia practice? Perhaps Danny felt that this was too much interference from the mothership. NB: to those not in the HK market, 2 years is a long time in HK; and the SNR Denton team are the rump of the Hammonds team who did not want to jump into bed with Squires Sanders. Make of that what you will.

Cheating. But I want to know why some feel like that. Is it weird for you to watch it? Have you ever watched it?
S+J since 12/05
Miss A 2/13 Miss H 12/15
I'm totally fine with porn. My hubby works on boats for extended periods - we aren't physically in the same place, so he has porn and I have toys. When in the same place we have a very active sex life. I think it can be a very healthy outlet. It also depends on how it is used. If it is an obsession that takes over reality (which can apply to porn, gambling, gaming - hell even twinkies), then there is a problem.
For the pp who asked about strip clubs...I don't have a problem with strip clubs in limited circumstances (it's very popular in his circle to do a strip club run for bachelor parties). Hubby used to have an issue with strip clubs a long time ago that caused us some grief, but as long as it's all out in the open, within a discussed budget, infrequent, and with permission, I don't mind. He doesn't have an interest in the private dances....he just gets carried away showing off and buying drinks for the guys (which was also a problem with boys night out). I don't feel threatened at all by strippers. I have known enough of them to be aware of what they think of the guys who come in there.
""👈 this shit isnt the punctuation worlds version of jazz hands goddamnit
I used to watch it and loved it. I've even watched it with my exs and it was fun. But when my SO and I first got together we tried to watch it and it caused a lot of problems for us. We are both insecure and dont want the other looking at ANYBODY. We have gotten a lot better though. I can watch New Moon with out having to close my eyes or turn my head when Taylor Lautner takes his shirt off and vica verca. Porn just shows way too much for us to be comfortable with the other seeing. In our relationship it feels like looking at that is a type of cheating. I cant explain it any better. He doesn't even WANT to watch it, and neither do I. Its what works for us and makes us happy. And I dont understand why this subject is SUCH a big deal. I've had people say really bitchy things me about us not watching it. Its not that I dont 'allow' him or that he doesn't 'allow' me. We just agreed it hurt our relationship too much and we feel like looking is way too close to touching. Its not like men need porn, neither do women. We are not overly controlling or anything like that. We just do what works for US. We are happy like this. If porn is your thing and it works for your relationship in a good way, go for it!
All men do not look at porn. All men do not go to strip clubs. There is no set characteristics for men.

I wouldnt mind that much if we didnt have a good sex life and didnt get down and dirty a lot. I dont know how he would feel though. We had a great sex life as it is. And we made our own videos to get off to when one another is away. About the strip clubs, I always wanted to take pole dancing classes. It just looks fun. So I wouldn't mind him going to a stip club if I could work at one for a few nights. Its just something Ive always wanted to try. But if him and his friends want to go one night I guess I would let him but Id be very uncomfortable and not want to have sex with him for a while and be a bitch towards him due to my own insecurities. We are getting a small platform and pole in our house when we get on though. If HE can look, I should be able to show off. As for the privet dances. Hell no!
I'm not sure if the PP was directed toward me, but yes I agree that all men have sexual desires. However, what I said before is still true. Not all men watch porn/ go to strip clubs. Sexual desire =/= watching porn.

Arizona Diamondbacks
MLB analyst: D-backs' front office is fixable, but pitching needs more work
Twenty-five games into the season, the Arizona Diamondbacks are seven games back in the NL West and only have one win at Chase Field.
Some would say the team's 7-18 record is a cause for panic, and possibly time for change in the front office.
MLB Network analyst Mitch Williams thinks if the D-backs were to turn around their worst start to a season in franchise history, it would have to start with their players.
"I think the front office, as far as the manager and GM go, is fixable," Williams told Bickley and Marotta on Arizona Sports 98.7 FM. "They're fine. The last time I checked, they don't take a swing or throw a pitch. It's all hingent on what these guys on the field do. Losing Trumbo was a huge blow, but it's not as big of a blow as not having starting pitching that can go deep in games."
Trumbo, who is tied for the most homers in the National League with seven, was placed on the 15-day disabled list Thursday after suffering a stress fracture in his left foot.
The D-backs have a league-worst -57 run differential, with a big portion of that coming from the 5.39 ERA as a team — also a league-worst.
One of the main culprits is pitcher Trevor Cahill.
In his first four starts of the season, he gave up 19 runs in 17.2 innings while falling to 0-4. Cahill has since been moved to the bullpen, where he has not given up a run in six innings of relief work.
While Cahill's struggles may be a surprise to the D-backs, it isn't so much of a shock to the MLB analyst.
"I've been concerned about Trevor Cahill for years," Williams said. "To me, his delivery screams the next Brandon Webb. The way he gets under the ball and the way he throws his sinker, all of that screams arm injury to me. As you get older, things start to break."
With the loss of Patrick Corbin due to Tommy John surgery, and the recent success of pitchers that the team dealt to other franchises, such as Tyler Skaggs and Ian Kennedy, Williams was asked what the organization needs to do to turn around their pitching woes.
"It's all the message being put out there. It's the pitching coach and the time that's taken to get to know everyone of your pitchers and where they have to be in their balance point to deliver the ball the correct way. It's a lot of work, it really is, but it is something a pitching coach has to do."

Employee Stock Options - Cashless Exercise of ISOs
During a cashless exercise, the employee exercises the option to purchase shares, but does not pay anything to do so. Here is how the process works:
- The employee exercises the option to purchase a quantity of shares.
- Pursuant to the purchase of stock, a quantity is sold sufficient to pay for transaction costs and any tax bill associated with the transaction.
- The employee nets any stock or cash remaining after the sale and payment of expenses associated with the stock's acquisition.
- Cashless exercise would receive favorable tax treatment so long as the employee holds the shares for at least one year from the exercise date and two years from the grant date. Failure to adhere to these requirements would constitute a disqualifying disposition causing the employee to recognize as ordinary income the bargain element (the extent to which the option is in the money).
For example, Nigel Stone receives 5,000 incentive stock options from his employer to buy company shares at $12 per share. He exercises the options when the stock's current market value is $20 per share. A number of years later, past the two year window on the grant date and the one year from the exercise date, he sells the shares at $50 per share.
The tax implications of the foregoing are as follows.
- The grant of the options entails no taxable event.
- No additional ordinary income arises from the exercise of the options, but Stone will incur an alternative minimum tax adjustment upon exercise of the options for $40,000 (($20-$12) x 5,000) and possibly cause him to pay AMT.
- Stone's long term capital gain would be $190,000 ($250,000 - $60,000). Adjusted taxable basis would be $12 per share.
- Stone's capital gain for AMT purposes would be $150,000 upon the sale of the shares at $50.
$250,000-$100,000 (adjusted basis would be $20 per share, $12 is the strike price and $8 is the AMT adjustment for the amount by which the option was in the money at exercise.)
- Sale of the shares in the same calendar year as exercise would result in W-2 income of 5,000 x ($20-$12) = $40,000.

Saturday, 1 March 2014 | MYT 7:52 PM
(Reuters) - Formula One champions Red Bull recognised on Saturday they were well behind rivals in pre-season testing but dismissed reports that Sebastian Vettel had "thrown a hissy fit" about the situation.
Four-times champion Vettel and his team have suffered a string of setbacks due to the new Renault power unit and the problems continued in Bahrain on Saturday with the German breaking down on his first lap of the day.
Vettel helped marshals push the stricken RB10 back to the garage.
Red Bull team principal Christian Horner told Sky Sports News that speculation Vettel had thrown a tantrum when he first tested the car back in January was "complete and utter rubbish".
"I don't know where that came from about Sebastian," he added. "He is fine, he understands that there are issues and he is trying to help the team where he can.
"There has not been one raised voice, one bit of discontent. He has just got his head down and he has a huge amount of trust in the team."
The Red Bull website also carried a highly sarcastic report from their "F1 Spy" about the rumour mill.
Vettel, it joked, had sent the team a postcard to say sorry and decided to spend a couple of weeks chilling out watching daytime soaps and eating crisps round at former team mate Mark Webber's house.
While Red Bull and some of the other Renault-engined teams have been struggling to string a significant number of laps together, Mercedes and Ferrari-powered rivals have been doing race simulations.
Vettel's new Australian team mate Daniel Ricciardo, preparing for a home season-opener in Melbourne on March 16, said on Thursday the team was still "not up to scratch" with time running out.
Ricciardo had a more positive day on Friday but Saturday brought more gloom and Horner said the team was "still definitely on the back foot.
"This is the 10th day of testing and we are about 10 days behind I reckon," he added.
Horner said cooling issues that had sidelined the team during the first team in Jerez, Spain, had been addressed and Red Bull were working hard with Renault to fix other problems that had emerged.
"We still have another two weeks before Melbourne, for sure we will be bringing more parts to Melbourne. It would just be great if we could have another couple of days like we had yesterday."
