This invention is directed to card readers and more particularly to a card reader for cards having contacts on a surface thereof.
Electronic memory cards of the type having a plurality of contacts on one face thereof are widely used in electronic equipment, such as computers and the like. In some memory card readers, the card is inserted into the card reader such that the front edge of the card engages the curved portions of contacts as the card is inserted into the reader. This causes elastic deformation of the contacts and results in prolonged rubbing of the curved convex areas of the contacts during the time the card is being fully inserted into and removed from the housing. Repeated insertions and removals of cards into and out of the card reader causes wear to the contact surfaces, thus decreasing the quality of the electrical connection. It is desirable, therefore, to have a card reader wherein the card may essentially be fully inserted before the contacts in the card reader engage the conductive pads on the surface of the card.
One way to accomplish this result is to use a lever or other means to move the contacts into engagement with the card after the card has been fully inserted. With the increased use of more closely spaced contact pads on the card and the accompanying miniaturization of both the card reader and the contacts therein, it is more desirable to have a card reader in which pressure can be applied to a fully inserted card to move the card into engagement with the contacts rather than move the contacts into engagement with the card. It is desirable furthermore, to have a card reader that has a low vertical height, requires a minimum amount of space on a circuit board and has a minimum number of parts.
The present invention is directed to a card reader that overcomes deficiencies in the prior art. The card reader includes a dielectric housing, a plurality of resilient connector elements disposed along the bottom wall of the housing and adapted to establish electrical connection between the contact pads of circuit board. The housing defines a camming surface with the card receiving opening at least adjacent a top wall of the housing. A horizontal plate is slideably mounted within the housing proximate the top surface and is movable between first and second positions therein upon actuation. The plate includes a cooperating camming surface adjacent and engageable with the camming surface of the housing. The plate is adapted to be moved from a first position adjacent the top wall to a second position lower than the first position upon actuation thereof thereby moving the plate toward a card inserted into the card receiving opening beneath the plate. The plate exerts pressure on the top the card and moves the card toward the bottom wall to assure that the contact pads on the card are in electrical engagement with associated ones of the resilient contact elements, which in turn, electrically engage the contacts pads on a circuit board. The card reader further includes a actuator section exposed at least for actuation from outside of the housing for moving the plate between the first and second positions.
In the preferred embodiment, the top wall of the housing includes at least one recess extending into an inside surface between the side walls and at a selected location therealong. The plate concomitantly includes at least one raised portion extending between its sides and dimensioned to be received in a respective recess of the top wall when the plate is in the first position. Preferably the top wall has a plurality of recesses spaced therealong and the plate has a corresponding plurality of raised portions, each dimensioned to be received in a respective recess.
In one embodiment the bottom wall of the reader has a plurality of slots extending therethrough parallel to the side walls and dimensioned to receive elongate resilient connector elements.
In another embodiment of the invention, individual resilient contact members are disposed in contact receiving apertures extending through the bottom wall.
The card reader may further include a shell member within the card receiving slot beneath the horizontal plate, the shell member being dimensioned to surround the top and side edges of a card inserted into the slot. The shell member is engaged by the plate when the plate is moved from the first to the second position. The shell and the card thus are simultaneously urged toward the bottom wall of the card reader such that contact pads on the card can engage the resilient connector element that, in turn, engages pads on a circuit board.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a card reader that minimizes wear on contact surfaces of a card reader.
It is a further object of the invention to provide a card reader having a low insertion force for the care.
Additionally it is an object of the invention to provide a card reader that may be included in a Type III PCMCIA card assembly to provide access to notebook computers and the like having the capability to use PCMCIA cards.

For purposes of illustrating the invention, the card reader 20 is being shown with two card reader slots 40, each dimensioned to receive a card having a plurality of contact elements on the major surface thereof. It is to be understood that the invention is also suitable for use with card reader having only a single slot 140, such as shown in FIG. 8.
Referring now to FIGS. 1 through 7, card reader 20 includes a dielectric housing 22, a horizontal plate 42 and a plurality of resilient contact elements 70. The dielectric housing includes a top wall 24, a bottom wall 28, opposed side walls 32, front face 36, a rear wall 38, and intermediate wall 33, together defining two card receiving slots 40. The inside surface 25 of top wall 24 includes a plurality of recesses 26 extending between side walls thereof at selected locations therealong. The inside surface 25 defines a camming surface that cooperates with the plate 42 as more fully explained below. In the preferred embodiment, top wall 24 further includes a pattern of apertures 23 extending therethrough. FIG. 1 shows the structure of one of the card-receiving slots 40 in conjunction with a card 90. Preferably housing 22 is molded from a high strength plastic such as, for example, a polycarbonate or the like. One suitable material is LEXAN available from General Electric Company, Pittsfield, Mass.
In a first embodiment of the invention, the bottom wall 28 includes a plurality of slots 30 dimensioned to receive elongate resilient contact elements 70. Suitable contact elements include, for example, AMPLIFLEX sold by AMP Incorporated of Harrisburg, Penn. Each AMPLIFLEX connector element 70 includes a thin flexible film member 72 having a plurality of lines of conductive circuitry 74. The film 72, in turn, is wrapped around a resilient core 76 and includes a tab 77 that is secured to the bottom of bottom wall 28 of the housing as best seen in FIGS. 4 and 6.
Plate 42 includes a top surface 44, a bottom surface 46, and a plurality of apertures 48 extending therebetween and a plurality of protrusions 50 extending upwardly therefrom as best seen in FIG. 7. Plate 42 further includes a layer of dielectric material 60 molded over the surface of plate 42 and including a plurality of spaced raised portions 62 extending between the sides of the plate and essentially parallel to the forward and rearward ends 52, 56 respectively. Each raised portion 62 has tapered surfaces at the leading and trailing edges 63, 65 thereof and defines a camming surface 64 on the top thereof. The dielectric material 60 further forms an actuator 54 along arm 53 and rearwardly protruding compliant legs 58 having stop surfaces 59 thereon. Plate 42 preferably is stamped from stainless steel. Suitable dielectric materials include liquid crystal polymers or the like, such as E130 available from Hoechst-Celanese, Summit, N.J.
Upon inserting plate 42 into the card receiving slot 40, the raised portions 62 on the upper surface of the plate are received within respective corresponding recesses 26 of the top wall as best seen in FIGS. 3 and 4. The plate 42 is in its first position when the raised portions are in the respective recesses. As can be seen from FIG. 2, the protruding compliant legs 58 extend through openings 27 at the rear of the housing 22 when the plate 42 is in its first position. The actuator 54 extends outwardly from the housing 22 along the front face 24 thereof to enable manual gripping of the actuator 54 to move the plate 42 relativity toward and away from the housing 22. FIGS. 3 through 6 further show the card reader 20 mounted to the circuit board 102. Bottom wall 28 further includes board locating posts 29 which are received in corresponding apertures 106 of circuit board 102. In FIGS. 5 and 6, the contact pads 104 on the circuit board are in electrical engagement with the corresponding contact pads 96 on the card 90.
In the preferred embodiment, card reader 20 further includes a shell member 78 having a top surface 80, side walls 82 and outwardly extending wings 86 along the side walls 82 thereof. The leading edges 84 of the side walls 82 are curved inwardly. Shell member 78 includes apertures 83 extending through top surface 80. Shell member 78 preferably is stamped and formed from stainless steel or the like. Upon placing the shell member 78 within the card receiving slot 40, wings 86 along the side walls 82 are received in corresponding guide surfaces 34 of the housing side walls 32 and intermediate wall 33, as best seen in FIGS. 4 and 6.
When the shell member 78 and plate 42 are in the first position, a card 90 having a top surface 92 and a lower surface 94 having a plurality of contact pads 96 thereon can be inserted into the card reader 20. The plate 42 and shell member 78 provide sufficient clearance for the card 90 to be freely received in card receiving slot 40 without engaging the resilient contacts elements 70 extending along the bottom wall 28 of the card reader 20. Upon full insertion of the card 90, the actuator 54 may be gripped by hand and pulled forwardly such that the camming surfaces 64 are moved out of the recesses 26 and into engagement with surface 25 of the top wall thus moving plate 42 to a lower or second position. The plate 42 is thus moved toward the shell member 78 and the card 90 therebeneath. The plate 42 and shell member 78 exert pressure on the top surface 92 of the card 90 thus moving the card 90 toward the bottom wall 28 to assure that the card contact pads 94 on the bottom surface thereof are brought into electrical engagement with the associated circuitry 74 of the resilient contact elements 70 that, in turn, are electrically engaged with contact pads 104 on the circuit board 102.
The second position of plate 42 and shell member 78 are best seen by referring to FIGS. 5 and 6. As also can be seen from FIG. 5, upon moving plate 42 to its second position, the resilient legs 58 are moved into the housing 22 until the stop surfaces 59 engage the rear wall 38 of the housing. As can be seen in FIGS. 4 and 6, the wings 86 of the shell member 78 ride vertically along the vertical guide surfaces 34 as the plate 42 is moved between its first and second positions.
In the preferred embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, top housing wall 24, plate 42, and shell member 78 include a pattern of apertures 23, 48, and 83, respectively, which permit testing for electrical continuity in the following manner. A special test card is inserted into the fully assembled card reader 20 and plate 42 and shell member 78 are then moved to their second position, thereby aligning the apertures 23, 48 and 83. A probe can then be inserted through each of the aligned apertures to test for electrical continuity between the contact members of the test card, the resilient contact elements and the circuit board pads prior to further assembly of a Type III PCMCIA card or other electrical device that includes reader 20.
FIG. 8 illustrates an alternative embodiment 120 of the card reader which a includes a single card receiving slot 140 and plate 142 and having a card 190 disposed therein.
FIGS. 9 and 10 illustrate embodiment 220 of a card reader in which the resilient contact elements 270 are individual contact members disposed in an array of apertures 230 that extend through the bottom wall 228 of housing 222. Each contact 270 includes a curved resilient portion 274 and a board engageable portion 276. Contacts 270 may be secured in the housing by retention barbs or other retention means as known in the art.
The present invention provides a cost effective connector that allows a card having contacts on the surface thereof to be inserted into a card reader without engaging the contacts of the card reader thereby minimizing wear on the contacts surfaces. The card is then brought into engagement with the contacts upon moving a actuator to increase pressure on the card thus enabling contacts of the card to be brought into electrical engagement with corresponding contacts 104 on circuit board 102. The card reader of the present invention may be used as an independent card reader or may be included in another electrical device such as a Type III PCMCIA card frame. The card reader adapter for the PCMCIA card provides access to existing computers having the capability to access PCMCIA cards.
It is thought that the card reader of the present invention and many of its attendant advantages will be understood from the foregoing description. It is apparent that various changes may be made in the form, construction, and arrangement of parts thereof without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention, or sacrificing all of its material advantages.

Labour Force Participation
The participation rate measures the proportion of the working-age population who are in the labour force (either employed or unemployed and actively seeking work). The level of employment and the propensity of people to participate in the labour force are the key variables which determine the prevailing level of unemployment and the unemployment rate. Participation rates are affected by a range of economic, demographic and social factors.
In 2014, Winnipeg's participation rate of 67.8 per cent was above the national rate of 66 per cent. Over a five-year period, the participation rate in Winnipeg did not keep pace with the national level and dropped by 2.3 percentage points. The majority of other major metropolitan areas also experienced a decline in workforce participation.

30 Guerrilla Marketing Tactics That Work: Here Is a List of Simple and Unconventional Methods to Reach Your Customers and Prospects Today. Some Can Be Accomplished on a Shoestring
Hershberger, Tom, ABA Bank Marketing
Are you under pressure to produce quick results--while keeping costs under control? If you are like most bank marketers today, the answer is "Yes, and how!"
I understand the challenge. In fact, to help you I have assembled a collection of 30 simple, creative marketing ideas--many of which can be implemented at low cost--that have been used at smaller community banks in many parts of the country. Some of these ideas were originated by my company and employed by our client banks. Others were gathered from financial institutions that wanted to share promotion ideas that worked for them. All these concepts have been tested and have proven effective again and again.
Before we provide the details, let's review the basics about how to create a fruitful campaign--one that doesn't chew up a lot of unnecessary money.
Martin Baird, author of "Guaranteed Results" once said, "Most people receive 4,000 messages per day, so a lot of creative thinking is needed if you're going to get noticed. I think most marketing efforts aren't nearly innovative enough." Before you start working on your next campaign, ask yourself: How creative is my thinking? How strategic are my marketing solutions? Providing strategic direction for your marketing efforts will ensure that you are investing your dollars in the right resources--and improving your effectiveness.
Marketing ideas that produce results typically meet four simple requirements.
First, these ideas are memorable. Not just different ... but memorable.
Second, your marketing offer and communications are easy-to-understand and deliver. This standard is important for both customers and employees. The marketing ideas with the greatest potential are those that are easily understood and supported by your staff. Also, most consumers realize that nothing in small type is ever good news. If you plan to advertise an offer, keep it simple enough to avoid lengthy disclosures and confusing "mice" type.
Third, really great marketing ideas have a foundation in value--the kind of value that connects quickly with your target audience. It doesn't matter if your marketing offer and communications are directed at retail households or business decision-makers, you need to provide value that the end-user perceives as important. And, you need to do it quickly or risk losing your prospect. Marketing promotions that lack a clear value proposition for your target market require wider dissemination--and thus more spending--in order to connect with potential customers.
An example of a "value" offer that connects product and decision-maker: Free checking from a bank with convenient locations, plenty of ATMs and highly rated online banking targeted to young families with busy schedules.
Finally, fourth: focus, focus, focus. The best marketing ideas create a connection with a targeted audience that generates a response, interaction or purchase intent. In his book, "Tested Advertising Methods," John Caples shares three steps to improving creativity applied to print advertising. The steps include: (1) Capture the prospect's attention; (2) Maintain the prospect's interest; and (3) Move the prospect to a favorable action. The use of the word "prospect" assumes we have a target audience identified and worth pursuing. "Moving to a favorable action" implies our offer and communication will connect with the potential client. Targeted connections, whether applied to direct marketing or mass media, will help control your marketing expense.
To repeat, your best marketing ideas will meet four simple standards:
* Memorable.
* Easy-to-understand.
* Has value directed to the target audience.
* Creates a connection that generates a response.
The following list of bank marketing programs, community events and promotions provides examples of creative thinking that produced results--often with a controlled budget. …

Padres fumble Ian Kennedy's gem
A.J. Ellis' walk-off sacrifice fly sends Padres to 1-0 defeat
LOS ANGELES Paul Maholm, not Clayton Kershaw, not even Dan Haren, climbed a lonely mound of dirt Saturday at Dodger Stadium. The left-hander had not thrown more than a couple innings in a game since May, and yet here he was, called upon for the ever-variable spot start.
For the hosts, the outcome was ideal. For the Padres, the result was a downright fumble.
Ian Kennedy's finest start of the year -- eight shutout innings -- went to waste. In front of 51,794, A.J. Ellis drove a walk-off sacrifice fly to deep right, sending the Padres to a 1-0 defeat and their 13th shutout loss. Amid an unforeseen pitching duel, they were held to five singles.
Against Padres reliever Kevin Quackenbush in the ninth, Adrian Gonzalez stroked a leadoff double for the Dodgers' fourth hit. It would prove a monumental final knock. Following an intentional walk of Andre Ethier and a walk of Juan Uribe, Ellis strode to the plate with one out, against a five-man infield.
"We were trying to cut off the run," Padres manager Bud Black said of the rare defensive configuration. "We know (Ellis) is heavy on the right side, so if Quack executes there and we get a groundball, maybe we can get out of that."
Instead, Ellis pummeled a 1-2 fastball, deciding a game that the Padres could have seized innings earlier.
For most of the year, and for the first time in his career, Maholm had been relegated to long relief. Behind the Dodgers' top three starters, the addition of a pricier free agent in Haren and the resurgence of Josh Beckett had cemented a diminished role for the 32-year-old.
Maholm, too, had not fared particularly well in the position, entering Saturday with a 5.18 earned-run average. In 57 1/3 innings, he'd allowed 69 hits and 28 walks.
And yet there he was Saturday, allowing neither a hit nor a walk through three innings and 33 pitches. Perhaps it should not have come as much of a surprise, considering the Padres' historically flimsy offense. Still, it was much the same lineup that, on Friday, had chased Haren in the fifth inning.
One night later, the Padres nearly had to wait as long for their first hit. With one out in the top of the fourth, Chase Headley cracked a sinking liner into left, off an 87 mph four-seamer from Maholm.
And yet there was Maholm, rendering that single a mere bump in the road. He promptly coaxed a flyout from Carlos Quentin, then a force-out on Yasmani Grandal's grounder.
Maholm faced the minimum in the fifth and the sixth, exiting only after Headley's leadoff single in the seventh. Even that went for naught, as Quentin bounced into a double play against Brandon League, ensuring a spotless outing for Maholm.
The veteran had turned in one of the most economical starts of his career, breezing through six-plus innings on 65 pitches. He'd struck out four, permitting two hits and no walks.
"The Padres have seen him a lot," Black said of Maholm, "but the guys in (Saturday's) lineup, those guys don't have a big sample-size."
Said Padres catcher Rene Rivera: "He had good location and controlled all his pitches. He was hitting the corners with the fastball, spotting it below the zone. He did a great job. Sometimes you've got to tip your cap to the other pitcher, because he was really good, too."
Maholm did concede endurance to Kennedy, who quashed a more potent lineup. The Padres right-hander, coming off two one-run performances, scattered two singles and two walks over his first six innings.
"The last two starts, especially, Rene has called a great game," Kennedy said. "It's allowed me to focus on just executing, focus on the pitch. (Rivera) was so great back there."

The present invention concerns a device for the treatment of peripheral circulatory disorders that consists of at least one treatment cylinder into which a body limb to be treated can be introduced at least in part through a closing device, and in which by means of a device for the admission and evacuation of air and of control elements a compression or/and decompression can be created, and in particular the closing device for the treatment cylinder which prevents the veins from becoming obstructed when a compression or/and decompression is created in the treatment cylinder.
As early as 1834 JUNOD studied the effects of compression on the body or one of the body extremities and invented devices with which he took hyperbaric baths.
At the end of the 19th century BIER subjected arms or legs to a decompression that caused a venous congestion which he put to use as a therapeutic measure for rheumatic pain.
1932 HERRMANN studied the literature concerning hypobaric treatments and found that this method could activate arterial blood flow in the extremities. In the same year he established that the effect was enhanced when an extremity was subjected to alternating hypobaric and hyperbaric phases.
Since that time the devices subsequently built possess programmes with hyperbaric and hypobaric phases. They had a cylinder consisting of glass or Plexiglas that was closed off with a rubber hose while advantage was taken of the elasticity of the rubber for closing.
This procedure inevitably brought about an obstruction of the veins and, depending on the intensity of the decompression, an obstruction of the arteries, so that the treatment as such only made use of the venous congestion that had been applied as a therapeutic measure by Bier.
One also knows inflatable boots made of flexible material (JOBST), but these can only exert a compression on an extremity, while the effect of this compression, since it is limited to the surface, never can attain the effect exerted by direct air pressure.
1956 the VASOTRAIN device appeared on the market, where the treatment cylinder was sealed with an inflatable sleeve. Despite this improvement of the method of exerting compression and decompression on an extremity, the VASOTRAIN also produced venous congestion, and BARBEY reports that because of the appearance of petechia, treatments with the VASOTRAIN had to be discontinued.
WERDING in 1960 designed the VASCULATOR, which also had inflatable sleeves, with the new feature, however, that these sleeves always maintained their pressure on the extremities at a minimum value, i.e., their internal pressure only rose until the desired compression was attained, whereupon a certain, intended loss of compression could be, both compensated with the pump or kept constant by slight inflation of the sleeve.
During automatic changeover of the device to decompression, the sleeve emptied continuously in proportion to the intensity of the decompression.
This method very largely reduced an obstruction of the veins, but not enough, as the VASCULATOR had to place the extremity in a high position in order to aid venous return to the heart.
It is the aim of the present invention to eliminate the problems of venous congestion described above, and it is proposed to provide a closing device for treatment cylinders which is capable of keeping even the veins that are located at the surface of an extremity, as pervious as possible during a hypobaric phase.
According to the invention, this problem is resolved by the fact that the closing device is provided with a sleeve having a thick-walled disk covered on its two flat sides by thin-walled, highly elastic membranes, that the disk is provided with a first opening and the membranes are provided with second openings which are situated opposite to the first opening and have diameters smaller than that of the first opening, and that the treatment cylinder is provided with a rigid support element against which the entire sleeve is sealingly pressed with the aid of clamping means. By virtue of their elasticity, these membranes adapt to the form of the extremity so as to function as a membrane sleeve, while between the two rubber membranes an air cushion is created which also serves as a closing means that will not compress. The treatment cylinder is then closed in such a way that the intensity of the pressure variation is attained and kept constant during a specific period of time without a need for inflation of the sleeve, while an obstruction of the venous return to the heart is prevented by this solution for the entire duration of the treatment.
It is particularly advantageous to select a rubber disk, since this can be supported on an annular ridge provided at the entrance of the treatment cylinder and then pressed against this ridge with the aid of a rigid ring and clamps in such a way that the annular ridge penetrates into the rubber and thus seals the treatment cylinder hermetically.
It is advantageous, too, to provide the opening of the treatment is cylinder opposite to the closing device with an identical device which gives access to the interior of the treatment cylinder and can be provided with a heating or cooling device.
The closing device can advantageously be characterised by the fact that the treatment cylinder is axially mobile so as to facilitate introduction of an extremity.
It is particularly advantageous to continuously keep the treatment cylinder in a high position even during a hypobaric phase, while the blocking system of the high position at the same time blocks the treatment cylinder axially.
With this continuous high position of the treatment cylinder, even during the hypobaric phase, on one hand one attains a expanded state of capillaries, venules, and veins by means of the decompression, and an arteriolar dilation and thus a hyperemia by reflex action, on the other hand one attains at the same time an increased venous return to the heart, which in its volume is practically proportional to the arterial capacity of the vessels of the extremity, since the veins of the extremity remain pervious thanks to the closing device of the invention.
It is particularly advantageous that the closing device need not be inflated, which substantially simplifies the electronic controls, since these controls only regulate the hyperbaric and hypobaric phases as well as the periods of time during which they are kept constant, which largely eliminates possible breakdowns or malfunction. These features lead to a device exhibiting a precise and safe functioning.
Further details will become evident from the dependent claims and subsequent description of an exemplified embodiment represented in the drawing.

FIG. 1 shows a treatment cylinder 1, preferably made of Plexiglas, which at ends A and B is provided with a ring 2 made of the same material and provided with an annular ridge 3. End A supports a thick-walled rubber disk 4 that has an opening 5. The flat sides of rubber disk 4 are lined with highly elastic, thin-walled rubber membranes 6 and 7, this lining being applied only to an outer ring of the rubber disk 4 as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4. The diameters of openings 8 and 9 of rubber membranes 6 and 7 are smaller than the diameter of opening 5 of the rubber disk 4. This arrangement serves as closing sleeve C enveloping an extremity E to be treated as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4. FIG. 3 shows that the rubber membrane 7 during a hyperbaric phase in cylinder 1 adapts to the form of the extremity E and that the rubber membrane 6 inflates thanks to an intentional leak between the extremity E and the rubber membrane 7 so that an air cushion 6A is created between the two which serves as a noncompressing seal. During a hypobaric phase this process occurs in the opposite direction as illustrated by FIG. 4.
End B of the treatment cylinder 1 also supports a thick-walled rubber disk 10 which, however, has no opening 5 and hence hermetically seals the treatment cylinder 1 at end B.
The sleeve C is pressed against the annular ridge 3 by means of a rigid ring 11 and clamps 12, and the ridge penetrates into the rubber material and hence secures a hermetic seal at this point.
The rubber disk 10 at end B of the cylinder 1 is pressed against an annular ridge 3 by means of a rigid ring 13 and clamps 14, so that end B is hermetically sealed.
It is advantageous that end B can be opened, especially in the case of paralysed patients which cannot move the extremity to be treated, and thus cannot place it correctly into the treatment cylinder 1.
The periphery of the treatment cylinder 1 is provided with a metal ring 15 at end A and with a metal ring 16 at end B, while a flat part 17 is fastened to bulges 15 a and 16 a of these rings.
The flat part 17 is provided with rollers 18 which move along a supporting beam 22 and enable the treatment cylinder 1 to be moved axially, thus facilitating the introduction of an extremity.
The flat part 17 has an articulation 19 at end A which allows the treatment cylinder 1 to be moved to a high position as shown in dashed lines in FIG. 5, in which case a strut 20 engages into grooves 21 of the supporting beam 22 and hence will also prevent an axial motion of the treatment cylinder.
The use of rollers 18 enabling an axial displacement of the treatment cylinder 1 is intended in particular for portable treatment cylinders 1, in which case the control means and the vacuum pump and pressure pump are to be found in a housing which also is portable, but not shown. Such an embodiment may have utility when a patient unable to walk must be treated in his home, or during sports events when a hyperbaric and hypobaric treatment is highly effective in the case of sprains, cramps or contusions with hematomas.
If, on the other hand, the treatment cylinder as shown in FIG. 5 is supported by a device G in which the supporting beam 22 is movably connected with the device G, the rollers 18 can be omitted inasmuch as the entire device G provided with rollers 23 is mobile, so that for easier introduction of an extremity into the treatment cylinder 1 the entire device G can be displaced. A blocking device (not shown) prevents a shifting of the device G.
The embodiment according to FIG. 5 is advantageous, since the treatment cylinder 1 can be vertically displaced, which as shown allows a patient to be treated who is seated on a chair, or the treatment cylinder 1 to be arranged so high up that the patient can be stretched out on a massage table or bed, as illustrated with the height D. Lastly, position F of the treatment cylinder 1 shows the high position into which it can be brought for the entire duration of the treatment session.
Device G has a base 24 provided with the rollers 23 and with a seat in which a support 26 is movably retained. A housing 27 in which as shown in FIG. 7 a vacuum and pressure pump 28, a magnetic valve 29 for decompression and a magnetic valve 30 for compression are to be found is mounted onto the base. The magnetic valve 29 is connected with a timing relay 31, the magnetic valve 30 is connected with a timing relay 32. The timing relais 31, 32 allow the decompression compression to be kept constant for a predetermined period of time, for instance in a stage II obliterative arteriopathy with walking distance 200 m one maintains constancy of the hypobaric phase for 45 s and of the hyperbaric phase for 30 s, in which case the timing relay 31 will close the magnetic valve 29 and open the magnetic valve 30, or timing relay 32 will close the magnetic valve 30 and open the magnetic valve 29 when the set times have elapsed.
The intensities of the compression and decompression are regulated via control valves 33 and 34 as illustrated in FIGS. 8 and 9. Valves 33 and 34 consist of a valve body 35, an elastomer seal 36 which is pressed into its seat 38 by a screw member 37, a piston 39 and a rotary head 40.
The control valves 33 and 34 are in the open position as shown in FIG. 9 before the pressure values are set. This position is set by means of the piston 39 which has a thread 41 and is moved by the turning head 40. To this effect the piston 39 deforms the elastomer seal 36 in such a way that a lower transverse bore 42 of the piston 39 which opens into an axial channel 43 and hence into an upper transverse 44 is opened. When turning the rotary head clockwise, for instance, the seal 36 gradually returns to its initial position and thus progressively closes off the lower transverse bore 42. The flow cross section of this bore is varied in such a way that a degree of throttling is achieved which corresponds to the compression or decompression that ought to be attained. In the instance of control valve 33, pump 28 draws air from the outside via the upper transverse bore 44, the axial channel 43 and the lower transverse bore 42 when the magnetic valve 29 is open, while in the instance of control valve 34, pump 28 rejects air to the outside via the lower transverse bore 42, the axial channel 43 and the upper transverse bore. Via these intended leaks one can set the desired pressure values, in which case compressor 28 will maintain the set pressure values constant despite the leaks.
It goes without saying that the pitch of thread 41 is selected so that a rotation through 300° will allow a maximum excess pressure of 152 mmHg. Higher pressure values are prevented by safety valves (not shown).
FIG. 10 shows an entirely novel, electronically regulated control valve for setting the compression and decompression values. It consists of a valve body 49 holding an electric traction magnet 50 on the armature axis 51 of which there is a piston 52 provided with an O-ring 53 and pressed into its seat 55 by means of a spring 54, the force of the spring being selected so that on one hand it counterbalances the weight of the piston 52 and on the other hand it presses O-ring 53 to the seat 55 in such a way that compression must prevail in chamber 56, and decompression in chamber 57, before O-ring 53 will be pushed from its seat 55. To this effect chamber 56 has a tapped hole 58 through which an excess pressure coming from the treatment cylinder will enter, and chamber 57 has a tapped hole 59 through which the treatment cylinder 1 draws air. The regulation of the pressure values is accomplished via a variable supply voltage to traction magnet 50, for instance 24 V for a pressure or suction of 152 mmHg and 9 V for a pressure or suction of 0.38 mmHg (0.05 atmospheres excess pressure). As soon as the set pressure values are attained in chambers 56 and 57 they will push or pull piston 52, and thus O-ring 53, from its seat 55, so that excessive compression or decompression can be relieved via magnetic valves and 34, and the set pressure values can be kept constant. Valve body 49 is sealingly closed off on the side of chamber 57 with a screw lid 88 and an O-ring 61. The opposite side of valve body 49 is sealingly closed off with a screw lid 62 and an O-ring 63, and screw lid 62 is provided with a gland 64 which serves to seal the valve body along a cable lead 65 of the traction magnet 50.
FIG. 6 shows the device G provided with two treatment cylinders 1 in order to treat two extremities simultaneously, which via a reflex action of the more healthy extremity may lead to a favorable effect on the more strongly affected extremity. A panel 46 reveals a time switch 47 with which the duration of a session is set, a pressure indicator 48 as well as the scales 33 and 34 of the control valves and their timing relays 31 and 32.
Device G is delivered with a treatment table which enables the device G to be used at once for the treatment of peripheral circulatory disorders, as this table takes into account the pathology and its severity. It is left to the physician to adapt the compression and decompression values and the periods of time during which they are to be kept constant, individually to each case.
A treatment session always starts with a compression phase which is followed by a decompression phase, while the period of time during which the compression and decompression are kept constant depends on the pathology and its severity, so that on one hand the rubber membranes 6 and 7 will optimally adapt to the shape of the extremity to be treated, and on the other hand the metabolites which are produced in excessive amounts on account of circulatory disorders will be eliminated.
The embodiment examples described above should of course not have any limiting character but may be subject to any desirable modification within the scope defined by the independent claim. Thus, the disk 4 and the membranes 6, 7 may consist of any appropriate material, for instance a synthetic or natural elastomer. It has also been found to be advantageous to make disk 4 and membranes 6, 7 of the same rubber, with a Shore hardness of less than 50°. Advantageously the diameter of the opening 5 of disk 4 is at least 4 cm larger than that of openings 8, 9 of the membranes 6, 7. The devices for air admission and evacuation as well as the control and regulation means can be realised in a different way, for instance with pulsed electric valves of adjustable frequency that are controlled by computer. The treatment cylinders could also have a cross section that is not round but, for instance, polygonal or rectangular. The openings of the disk and membranes can be centered or eccentric, where a centered arrangement may improve the venous return, depending on the outfitting of the treatment cylinders, and in these cylinders padded support means can also be provided for the body limb to be treated.

Dr. Wallach starts the show today discussing weight gain and obesity. Contending that MDs don't want to find the cause because too much money is being made off weight loss strategies such as gastric bypass, stomach banding, fitness centers etc. Doc asserts that the government and doctors have it all wrong. Stating that obesity if not a caused by excess but rather a deficiency of minerals in the diet.
Pearls of Wisdom
Doug Winfrey and Dr. Wallach discuss a news article concerning a study on vitamin B3. The story outlines that MRSA (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureaus) has now surpassed HIV in terms of mortality. Researchers in the study found that vitamin B3 administered at clinical doses boosted the ability of immune cells to kill bacteria 1000 times in just a few hours.
- Linda has two questions the first concerns her own trigger finger. Second she asks Doc what is causing her daughters hair to fall out.
- Sharon is a type 2 diabetic with failing kidneys calling with follow-up questions from a previous call.
- Carrie's sister-in-law is over weight and wanting to get pregnant. She wants to know if she can safely lose weight while pregnant.
- Christine's husband recently had a CT scan that indicates high levels of calcium in his blood.

text: 000 FXUS63 KSGF 271106 AFDSGF Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Springfield MO 606 AM CDT FRI MAY 27 2016 .SHORT TERM...(Today and tonight) Issued at 305 AM CDT Fri May 27 2016 Another active overnight across the Plains. A north south line of convection extends across eastern Kansas, while another area is located from northern Arkansas into the eastern Missouri Ozarks. Short term models show a couple of branches of the low level jet/moisture transport feeding into these storms and this low level jet has nosed into the forecast area but is expected to diminish by mid morning. Thus expect convection to maintain itself through much of the morning over the eastern Ozarks and perhaps into the early afternoon hours. Shear is rather weak and based on latest radar trends expect storms to be non severe, although some locally heavy rain will be possible. 500mb low currently over eastern Colorado will move into western Kansas later today and into Nebraska tonight. Meanwhile main surface boundary will remain well west of the area over Kansas and Oklahoma. Both the NAM and GFS shows low level jet/moisture transport increasing once again ahead of the wave from eastern Oklahoma/western Arkansas later this afternoon and evening nosing into the Missouri Ozarks which will sustain more convection. Given amount of convection expected this morning question will be how much instability can be generated. Per SPC day1 outlook, area is in a marginal risk with the main threat being large hail and damaging winds. Another area of convection will develop over Kansas near the boundary this afternoon and move east, possibly developing into an MCS affecting the forecast area overnight. Although deep layer shear looks to be marginal severe weather will still be possible if the storms do indeed congeal into an MCS, with large hail and damaging winds the main threats. If line segments can form 0-3KM shear vectors would favor an isolated tornado threat with any eastward surges of the line segments, especially in the far western areas. Precipitable water values remain around 1.50 inches, so locally heavy rainfall will be possible with any of the storms and could result in some localized flooding. .LONG TERM...(Saturday through Thursday) Issued at 305 AM CDT Fri May 27 2016 As the main upper low moves into the upper Mississippi River Valley region Saturday a secondary trough rotates through across the area pushing a weak surface boundary into the Ozarks. This boundary will then be the focus for additional thunderstorm development. Question will be how much instability can build back after the Friday night/ Saturday morning convection. If atmosphere has enough time to recover will likely see a severe weather threat of large hail and damaging winds once again. Flow becomes more zonal later Saturday night and Sunday with weak surface ridging building in. Low level flow remains southerly so a moist and unstable airmass will remain in place, but no discernible triggers for convection so will go with lower probabilities. By early next week flow once again becomes more southwesterly as another trough deepens across the desert southwest, while a closed low forms over the northern Rockies and pushes eastward through the northern Plains through mid week. models prog a series of shortwaves to lift through the southwest flow bringing periods showers and thunderstorms to the area through Thursday. && .AVIATION...(For the 12Z TAFS through 12Z Saturday morning) Issued at 603 AM CDT Fri May 27 2016 Precipitation from overnight convection has just about exited the CWA to the east. Still have a frontal boundary over western CWA. Short term and near term models want to bring convection into the area from the southwest later this morning. Looking at regional radar, not really buying into this scenario at the moment. Will start to bring in vicinity shra/tsra during the afternoon as the instability increases, but for now will leave the morning precipitation chances out. Will mostly have VFR conditions today, with MVFR/IFR potential within any convection that moves across the terminal locations. && .SGF Watches/Warnings/Advisories... MO...NONE. KS...NONE. && $$ SHORT TERM...Raberding LONG TERM...Raberding AVIATION...Lindenberg

Dreher with some must-reading over at TAC.
In other words, the nuns — not laypeople, but consecrated Catholic women — are missing in action on the battlefield. And, they are acting in an insubordinate way toward the bishops on the teaching of faith and morals.
Read the Vatican document yourself. That's what this is about, not some dinky-butt, Sally-Quinnious, theologically illiterate political nonsense. You cannot claim that what the LCWR was up to was not theologically radical. Do people really expect that the Vatican can turn a blind eye when nuns have grown so theologically corrupt that many of them no longer seem to believe, much less preach or teach, the Catholic faith? I'm not Catholic, but boy, is this investigation and finding overdue. Unfortunately, or fortunately, it's far too late to do much about it. Those liberal congregations, as the research John Allen reported indicates, are on their very last legs.
I don't mean to pick on Sally Quinn exclusively here, but her commentary was a prime example of the mainstream reporting and commentary on the controversy that I've read. I've learned by now not to take the MSM seriously when it reports on religion, and I figured there was a lot more to this story than what I was reading. But it was only when I read the actual Vatican document last night that I realized how massively skewed the US media take was. You don't have to agree with the Vatican necessarily, but you cannot be intellectually honest and maintain that this was a sexist, politically motivated witch hunt. There are extremely serious issues of doctrine and conduct at issue here. As Thomas McDonald points out, the New Age bizarro the LCWR has lined up to be its keynote speaker teaches off-the-charts crazy stuff, from a Catholic point of view — and yet the entire LCWR summer conference is centered on these themes.
Again, to assert that the Vatican has no reason to care about this, and no right — indeed, no responsibility — to speak out is to be intellectually dishonest. Roman Catholicism is not whatever anybody who identifies as a Roman Catholic says it is.
Why so harsh, you ask? Well, because one of the nuns in question said things like this:
As one sister described it, "I was rooted in the story of Jesus, and it remains at my core, but I've also moved beyond Jesus." The Jesus narrative is not the only or the most important narrative for these women. They still hold up and reverence the values of the Gospel, but they also recognize that these same values are not solely the property of Christianity. Buddhism, Native American spirituality, Judaism, Islam and others hold similar tenets for right behavior within the community, right relationship with the earth and right relationship with the Divine. With these insights come a shattering or freeing realization—depending on where you stand. Jesus is not the only son of God.
Writing in defense of the nuns at Religion Dispatches, Mary Hunt only proved the Vatican's point:
The crux of the matter, as it were, is that most of the nuns, like many Catholics, have matured beyond the Vatican's imaginings. The notion that postmodern Catholics assent to "the doctrine of the faith that has been revealed by God in Jesus Christ, presented in written form in the divinely inspired Scriptures, and handed on in the Apostolic Tradition under the guidance of the Church's Magisterium," (or, simply, the fathers know best) is simply ludicrous. As one observer asked me, "What Bible do they read?"
Obviously from a PR perspective this isn't the Vatican's finest stroke. On the employer-contraceptive issue they were pretty aggressive, but they've been fairly sedate (comparatively) in response to the new findings on the Bush administration's use of torture. And we haven't even gotten into their non-handling of the sex abuse scandal, which continues to boggle the mind. I get it when people like Sullivan raise that issue.
That said, the sort of things those nuns are reported to have said are heresy by any traditionally orthodox perspective. And therefore they strike at the vitals of Catholic religion in a uniquely dangerous way. I think one of the issues at stake here is that for many people religions exist to help people connect to something bigger than themselves and to serve the public good, period. The concept of a religion holding to distinct beliefs that mark it out from another group, therefore, seems foreign to many observers.
What I would say in response to that is that we do not struggle to understand functional "orthodoxy tests" when we see them in the political sphere. If Bobby Jindal started arguing for a single payer healthcare system, the GOP would chase him out – and they'd be right to do so. Likewise, when one of my senators, Ben Nelson, has sided more with the GOP than with his own Democratic party, the Democrats have put some pressure on him. That's OK. Obviously these sorts of tests can be taken too far, demanding absolute conformity to an excessively long list of essential beliefs only stifles thought, embitters those forced to conform against their will, and makes arrogant those enforcing the conformity. That said, the answer here is not to completely dismiss the notion of certain beliefs being necessary in order to belong to a group, which is the unspoken issue at hand in this controversy.
By any Catholic statement of faith, the nuns in question are heretics. I'm sure they're lovely people who have done a great deal of good in the world, but according to their church's own teachings, they are not Catholics. And before someone asks me "who are you to define what's Catholic," I'll answer: I'm nobody, but Rome itself has spoken on these issues. And within the polity of Catholicism, those nuns are not allowed to disagree – and that has nothing to do with their gender, but everything to do with their theology, which is patently not Catholic. You can't be "post-Jesus" and still be Catholic anymore than you can be pro Stalinism and be a Republican.
UPDATE: Dreher follows this up with another explanation of the Vatican's actions:
For the 4,678th time, "Why is religion writing in the mainstream media so bad?" If a political party, corporation, sports club, or any other entity had top management discerning that something was wrong in a particular division, that the workers had deviated from institutional values in significant ways, and that it was affecting the work of that institution, there would be consequences. Everybody gets that. The Catholic Church, however, is held to a different standard by these news media….
That's the root of the problem: a complete failure on the part of these writers <i>and their editors</i> to take religion seriously. If the liberal writer E.J. Dionne were to write about this issue, I would take him seriously, because he takes religion seriously, and actually thinks about it, even though his conclusions are often not the ones I would draw. It's really something, though, to see writers — and editors — at the Times level consistently demonstrate that they don't know what they don't know. In the nun controversy, you have consecrated members of Roman Catholic religious orders in many cases flat-out rejecting basic teachings of the Roman Catholic faith, and remaining obstinate in their views. What is the Vatican supposed to do? If this were, say, a large gay rights organization, and a small but significant minority were advocating the view that homosexuality was a moral evil and that reparative therapy was a good thing, neither Dowd nor Kristof would have the slightest trouble understanding why this would be a serious challenge for the leadership of the organization, which would be responsible for maintaining the organization's fidelity to its principles and missions. If they made an argument for tolerating dissenters in the ranks — I know, I know, don't laugh — they would at least account in their columns for the fact that this phenomenon represents a difficult challenge to the organization's leadership.

Who Harasses Women on the Street
It's getting to the point where I can feel it in my posture. The inevitability of street harassment makes my shoulders tense up before I even leave my house. I don't make eye contact on the street, ever, but especially with men. I wear headphones all the time anyway, but because of them, I probably don't hear things that are said to me when I'm walking, for better or worse. None of these things stop street harassment, of course, but at least it makes it easier to get where I need to go.
Recently, photographer Hannah Price used her camera to document the faces of men who street harass, taking a picture of them in the moment immediately following their catcall. In an NPR interview Price remarked, "Just turning the photograph on them kind of gives them a feel of what it's like to be in a vulnerable position…. It's a different dynamic — but it's just another way of dealing with the experience, of trying to understand it."
Let's Keep the Dialogue Going
I recently wrote an article in the Sisterhood entitled "Why I Check Both White and Jewish," about white privilege, gentrification and my experience being marginalized as a Jew. My intention was to spark conversation amongst readers about privilege and racial identity in order to work towards dismantling racism both within the Jewish community and beyond, articulated quite succinctly in Sarah Seltzer's response piece about acknowledging privilege and honoring the Jewish tradition of social justice.

Kooky, classical and captivating Monaghan castle
that you can bring your pet pooch, who will be accommodated in the stables overnight.
Drinking in the green beauty of the County Monaghan
countryside and tranquil waters of Glaslough Lake from its
oversized windows, Castle Leslie is affectionately loved by all who
know it. One of the last great Irish estates still owned by its
founding family, its devastatingly handsome castle is a palatial
showpiece. Reached in just 80 minutes from Dublin and one hour from
Belfast, it stands in 1,000 acres of astonishing scenery peppered
with ancient forests and pike-laden lakes. As you would expect,
warm Irish hospitality is on the agenda here (plus a touch of
playful eccentricity) and complete escapism is a guarantee. No
wonder Sir Paul McCartney chose the castle as a wedding venue and a
tour-weary Mick Jagger for a romantic getaway. Weddings are given
the full genteel treatment and exclusive use of the Castle means
all manner of events can take place in total privacy. Dining at the
Castle, from traditional breakfasts to formal afternoon teas and
candlelit dinners, allows guests to sample the finest Irish
cuisine. Many dishes have been cleverly reinvented from the Castle
Leslie Estate Cook Book of centuries-old family recipes. Outside,
activities include golf nearby and on-site falconry, clay pigeon
shooting, kayaking, hot-air balloon rides, horse riding (check out
the brilliant equestrian centre) and superior fishing. However,
film buffs may prefer to head to the cosy cinema while spa bunnies
seek refuge in the Victorian Treatment Rooms at Castle Leslie's

I was in a 8 year relationship and was complety blind to what I had. In may of last year my father died and I was in car accidwnt . I pushed loved ones away. I began to cheat on the most amazing person who had nothing but 100% of love for me. Why did I cheat so much? What do you guys do to control the desire to just get the rocks off. Women is the same for you?
chasejake 36-40, M 4 Answers 1 Feb 11, 2014 in Dating & Relationships
I think your answer is yes! It takes two to tango.i cheated when I was married with two kids and the woman I cheated with was also married and had two kids.i think it's pretty much equal but for some reason men seem to bore the brunt of the cheating ridicule. I guess we get caught more than the women? Who knows!
