SNA Meeting Offers China Navy Insights
Though China's navy is generally a mystery to the west, and its build-up and intentions are often characterized as lacking transparency, a Chinese navy official insists that the country's intentions are purely defense orientated. In translating an explanation from a superior officer, Liu Hongwei, Senior Captain, Naval Attache at the Embassy of the People's Republic of China to the U.S., explained: We will not fire the first shot, but when fired upon, the aggressor will not fire a second shot. Liu Hongwei was the featured luncheon speaker at a Surface Navy Association's (SNA) Greater Washington Chapter luncheon, held July 24, 2007 at the Hyatt Regency Crystal City. Though not able to provide specific numbers regarding the Chinese navy fleet and newbuilding program, Liu Hongwei shared with attendees some insights as to the decision making structure and composition of Chinese naval forces. The Chinese Navy – established April 23, 1949 – power structure consists of four departments: Headquarters, Political, Logistical and Armament. Major decisions are made by committee rather than by a single person, according to Liu Hongwei, and both the Headquarter and Political leaders share equal power. The Chinese Navy consists of three fleets: the North Sea fleet; the East Sea fleet and the South Sea fleet, with each fleet services by two or three naval bases

That really is pedal power: Canadian engineer flies human-powered helicopter three METRES high to make aviation history
- The AeroVelo team's human-powered helicopter won the $250,000 AHS Sikorsky Prize with a flight lasting 64 seconds and over metres high
- The team's helicopter, nicknamed Atlas, measures 47 metres across but weighs just 54 kilograms
- Engineer and pilot Todd Reichert made the first ever sustained flight of a human-powered helicopter
A Canadian engineer has defied gravity in a human-powered helicopter to scoop a long-standing international aeronautical prize.
The team from the University of Toronto has made aviation history to win the long standing AHS Sikorsky Prize with a flight lasting 64 seconds and reaching an altitude of 3.3 metres.
Todd Reichert, 31, provided the pedal power for the crazy aircraft to make the first ever sustained flight of a human-powered helicopter.
Scroll down for video...
A team from the University of Toronto has won the long standing AHS Sikorsky Prize with a flight lasting 64 seconds and reaching an altitude of 3.3 metres. Todd Reichert (pictured) provided the pedal power for the crazy aircraft to make the first ever sustained flight of a human-powered helicopter
The AHS Sikorsky Human Powered Helicopter Competition began in 1980 to find the first successful human-powered helicopter that can fly over three metres in height while hovering for at least one minute in an area of ten square metres.
The $250,000 prize has not been awarded since the competition began and creative engineers have been competing for the title for over three decades - with very few coming close to winning.
AeroVelo, a team made up of past and present students from the University of Toronto, competed with a team from Maryland University in a bid to take the coveted prize.
The team's helicopter, nicknamed Atlas, measures 47 metres across but weighs just 54 kilograms.
The super light-weight frame is made of carbon fibre tubes that connect the four rotors to the central bike, used to power the hand-made aircraft.
It relies on the pilot's physical strength to keep it airborne.
Mr Reichert said: 'As you spin your legs, you're spinning the rotors.
'It's very much an exercise in mental and physical control, at the same time as an all-out physical effort,' according to The Ottawa Citizen.
Despite the huge amount of physical exertion, he described hovering in the air as an 'incredible feeling'.
Mr Reichert said: 'This isn't something that you're going
to commute to work in any time soon, but it's an exercise in really
pushing the limits on what's physically possible, and what you can do
with lightweight materials and really creative design.'
'Winning this competition really is a catalyst to keep doing the things we love.
'Our goal is to take on projects that really inspire people to follow big dreams'
The small Canadian team worked on the helicopter for more than a year and endured plenty of slow changes to perfect the prize-winning design as well as two crashes that wiped out their work each time.
The team's chief structural engineer, Cameron Robertson, said: 'I hope that this inspires not only our fellow Canadians, but also global citizens to do more with less.'
The team said: 'We came into this very confident that
we were capable of winning this prize.
'We realized that the prize was a lot more difficult than we originally anticipated, but at every step we were able to overcome the difficulty and get even closer and closer to the prize.'
And we're up: The Atlas helicopter (pictured) measures 47 meters across but weighs just 54 kilograms. The super light-weight frame is made of carbon fibre tubes that connect the four rotors to the central bike, used to power the hand-made aircraft
Dozens of students at the university worked on the AeroVelo Atlas project.
Professor David Zingg of the university's engineering department, said: 'This
is a tremendous accomplishment.
is a great technological achievement, requiring ingenuity, knowledge,
and experience in a number of challenging technical areas.
'Through accomplishing such a challenging feat, Todd and Cameron have provided tremendous inspiration for young engineers both in Canada and around the world.'
Mr Reichert and Mr Robertson have set up a company called AeroVelo and plan on developing different human-powered vehicles.
They hope that human-powered vehicles will be seen as a viable alternative or supplement to those burning fossil fuels.
It is not the duo's first record-breaking win.
In 2010 they created a human-powered ornithopter called Snowbird - an aircraft that flies by flapping its wings - and made aviation history by achieving human-powered bird-like flight.
The Canadian team were the first to win the AHS Sikorsky Human Powered Helicopter Competition, which began in 1980, claiming $250,000

Brexit and the EU: Keeping the Peace
The point of the European Union was to make and keep peace.
The EU is not keeping the peace, not even trying hard. If they were trying, the ECB would be forgiving Greece's debt, while urging Britain to reconsider.
In the long term, to keep the peace, the EU would be promoting Keynesian macroeconomic policies intended to reduce income inequality, and taking in the Syrian refugees, because the alternative is both too horrible to contemplate and shutting them out will breed future conflict.
I would like to see a return to the internationalism that the EU was founded on. The business of the EU is not promoting the interests and ideology of Germany and, to a lesser extent, France. It is to make peace and prosperity in Europe.

Brexit and Trump: Exasperated comments to some Sanders-bashing Clintonites
If there's one single thing that has gone wrong with the Democrats it is the failure to listen.
Meantime, please, enough with the Sanders-bashing. We need everyone on deck for this one. The British faction that won Brexit is similar to the faction the supports Trump, and it won.
Brexit: What Next?
(Added) And one possible wide consequence is the collapse of a shaky economic recovery in the USA. Thanks, guys.
Brexit: Democracy is the Loser
I think, at this time, given the nature of modern mass media and balloting processes, we ought to be very, very afraid of direct democracy: demagogues have far too much power in this environment.

"Terrorist suspects"
ACLU Letter to the Senate.
A bit on the history of the Second Amendment
Possibly the first use of "well-regulated militia"Scots MP Andrew Fletcher of Saltoun used the phrase "well-regulated militia" in his 1698 pamphlet, "A Discourse Of Government With Relation To Militias". By this he meant a universal draft.
In the ''Discourse'' Fletcher strikes a number of notes that were to echo through the US constitution. Fletcher wrote of the oppressive potential of standing armies and argued against the hiring of mercenaries, recommending instead reliance on "a well regulated militia" [1]. He wrote of the need for baronial control of the militia to check unjust royal power, and in this we may see an origin of the division of state and federal authority over the militia.
To the objection that the typical citizen was a poor soldier, Fletcher replied that they made up an "ordinary and ill-regulated militia." He then set out his idea of a well-regulated militia:
What I would offer is, that four camps be formed, one in Scotland, and three in England; into which all the young men of the respective countries should enter, on the first day of the two and twentieth year of their age; and remain there the space of two years, if they be of fortunes sufficient to maintain themselves; but if they are not, then to remain a year only, at the expense of the public.He goes on to praise the martial virtues such training would instill (he had after all himself been a soldier) and adds that all male citizens should continue to drill four hours a week.
The relevance of Scottish militia history to the USAIt's a pretty amazing history. The right of the Scots to participate in the militia was lost in the Acts of Union, which unified the parliaments of Scotland and England. The Scottish Militia Bill of 1707, which would have restored the Scots right to participate in the militia, was vetoed by Queen Anne, in the last royal veto in British history. Thereafter, the Jacobite Risings of 1715 and 1746 persuaded Parliament to pass the 1716 Disarming Act and then the 1746 Act of Proscription, which intensified penalties and even forbade the wearing of "highland dress" [2].
The relevance to the USA is set out by Konig [3]. It comes through Fletcher and James Burgh, who was quoted by Franklin and who corresponded with John Adams. To sum up a fairly complex history, the suppression of the Scottish militias and weapons ownership influenced the writing of the Second Amendment, and the phrase "well-regulated militia" is a direct reference to that history.
A few final thoughtsAs I went through my very light overview of the history, some things became clear. First, the phrase "well-regulated militia" is a direct quote of the Scottish authors Fletcher and Burgh, and probably others. The Framers were referencing those ideas when they included it. (And, yes, that means that Heller was wrongly decided. Justice Scalia, I do not miss you.)
Second, the nature of the militia obligation and the militia gets narrowed by succeeding authors and legislators. From Fletcher's universal draft of men, the service requirement was reduced by Burgh to to a draft of "all men of property." Hamilton, in Federalist Paper 29, reduced the training requirement still further. Once the US militia was a going thing, militia service turned from a much-demanded right into an onerous, expensive, and resented obligation, and in the 1830s and 1840s the states exempted most men from it.
Third, what I suppose one might call the British theory of the militia was built around the weapons technology its day. The whole idea of an individual right to go armed was, first, taken for granted, and second, not taken seriously. One man with a musket, or more likely two pistols, could be a robber, but it took numbers and organization to make a revolution. With the invention of the modern rifle, we achieved such a level of lethality that a single individual with a good rifle can be as lethal as a whole team of cannoneers and with a cannon in the old days. I can't see that any of the Scots and English militia theorists would have advocated widespread distribution and carrying of such lethal weapons without at least some restrictions on who could carry them routinely.
[1] Ironically, Fletcher had himself been a mercenary in Hungary. See http://www.johngraycentre.org/people/movers_shaker/andrew-fletcher-of-saltoun-the-patriot-1655-1716
[2] Which sounds very odd, but consider the suppression of gang colors in US schools.

Instagram backs down, won't sell your images, but expect adverts and promo photos
Facebook-owned Instagram has been forced into backing down and changing its terms and conditions, after a huge backlash from its users over controversial plans that implied the photo-sharing service would be able to sell people's images without rewarding them.
"Yesterday we introduced a new version of our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service that will take effect in thirty days. Since making these changes, we've heard loud and clear that many users are confused and upset about what the changes mean," admitted Kevin Systrom, co-founder of Instagram, in a blog post on the company's site.
Claiming that "legal documents are easy to misinterpret", Systrom goes on to say the company will be changing the wording off the T&Cs to clarify the companies' position over photos and in particular who owns them. Don't worry, you do.
"To be clear: it is not our intention to sell your photos. We are working on updated language in the terms to make sure this is clear," says the co-founder, before adding: "Instagram users own their content and Instagram does not claim any ownership rights over your photos. Nothing about this has changed. We respect that there are creative artists and hobbyists alike that pour their heart into creating beautiful photos, and we respect that your photos are your photos. Period."
Systrom also states: "The language we proposed also raised question about whether your photos can be part of an advertisement. We do not have plans for anything like this and because of that we're going to remove the language that raised the question."
READ: How to back up your photos and leaving Instagram
Systrom stops short of saying that your photo timelines won't suddenly be full of adverts or other parts of your data shared with others.
"Our intention in updating the terms was to communicate that we'd like to experiment with innovative advertising that feels appropriate on Instagram. To provide context, we envision a future where both users and brands alike may promote their photos & accounts to increase engagement and to build a more meaningful following."
Systrom, who is still a part of the business following the $1bn sale to Facebook earlier in the year, gives an innocent example of why they want to change the T&Cs.
"Let's say a business wanted to promote their account to gain more followers and Instagram was able to feature them in some way. In order to help make a more relevant and useful promotion, it would be helpful to see which of the people you follow also follow this business. In this way, some of the data you produce — like the actions you take (eg, following the account) and your profile photo — might show up if you are following this business."
The controversy started when Instagram published a revised T&Cs that stated: "Some or all of the Service may be supported by advertising revenue. To help us deliver interesting paid or sponsored content or promotions, you agree that a business or other entity may pay us to display your username, likeness, photos (along with any associated metadata), and/or actions you take, in connection with paid or sponsored content or promotions, without any compensation to you."
It is not certain how many people will decide that even with the new revised plans the change is too much to take and move to a different photo sharing service altogether.

Yemen Arabic Fact Sheet #10 - 05-19-2016 (pdf - 1 MB)
Key Developments
Peace negotiations continue in Kuwait as Republic of Yemen Government (RoYG), Al Houthi, and other stakeholder representatives discuss economic, humanitarian, and political challenges, the UN reports. As of mid-May, UN Special Envoy for Yemen Ismail Ould Cheikh Ahmed had expressed optimism that parties to the conflict could reach agreement on all terms of the negotiations if constructive engagement continues.
The International Organization for Migration (IOM) and the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) recently released a report estimating that conflict in Yemen had internally displaced approximately 2.1 million people as of April 30, representing a 25 percent decrease from the nearly 2.8 million internally displaced persons (IDPs) reported in March. IOM and UNHCR attribute the decrease primarily to improved tracking methodology and significant IDP returns, particularly in Aden and Lahij governorates, as well as the city of Sana'a. The decrease in IDPs may be linked to the early April implementation of the cessation of hostilities agreement; however, the Task Force for Population Movement reports that this remains an assumption and the full effect of the agreement on displacement within Yemen remains unclear.
The partial suspension of oil production, decreased exports, and a reduction in tax revenue have contributed to an approximately 54 percent decline in total public revenue in Yemen since the escalation of the conflict in March 2015, according to the RoYG Ministry of Planning and International Cooperation. In addition, conflict-related market disruptions, the depreciation of the Yemeni rial, and increasing inflation rates have halted the implementation of public social welfare programs and significantly reduced household purchasing power, exacerbating the humanitarian situation for conflict-affected populations.
Total U.S. Government Assistance to Yemen and Neighboring Countries
*These figures are current as of June 10, 2016
Since 2004, conflict between the RoYG and al-Houthi opposition forces has affected more than 1 million people and repeatedly displaced populations in northern Yemen. In the wake of the Arab Spring, increased fighting between RoYG military forces and tribal and militant groups further limited the capacity of the RoYG to provide basic services, exacerbated deteriorating humanitarian conditions among impoverished populations, and resulted in displacement in northern, central, and southern Yemen.
More recently, rising fuel and food prices, high levels of unemployment, conflict, and conflict-related displacement have left nearly half of Yemen's 24.8 million people food insecure, of which 1 million children suffer from acute malnutrition—the second-highest child malnutrition level in the world. Although overall improvement in the security situation in southern Yemen since 2011 has facilitated the return of more than 150,000 IDPs to areas of origin since July 2012, Yemen hosts an increasing number of migrants and refugees—242,000, the majority from the Horn of Africa—who are also in need of humanitarian assistance.

The Iranian regime believes what it says and can achieve its stated objectives. That's the blunt truth that few can accept.
To determine Iran's strategy, we must determine its goals and ideology. President Ahmadinejad consistently states that he acts in order to "hasten the arrival" of the Mahdi, also called the Hidden Imam, who is to appear during the End Times to bring victory over the enemies of Islam. Since at least July 2010, Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei has been telling his inner circle that he has met the Mahdi, who promised him an imminent return.
A number of voices opposed to a potential Israeli strike on Iran's nuclear facilities reassure us that the regime is a rational actor and we should not take this rhetoric seriously. Former Mossad director Meir Dagan went so far as to say Iran is "very rational." The statement made headlines but their simplicity is misleading. Dagan actually said that Iran is "not exactly our rational." What Dagan likely meant is that the regime weighs costs and benefits. It rationally pursues goals that we'd consider irrational.
Eight Christian leaders are among those that want the U.S. to embrace a policy of containment towards a nuclear-armed Iran. On March 5, the director of the Presbyterian Church (USA)'s Office of Public Witness co-wrote a letter to Congress, urging that resolutions ruling out such a policy be shot down.
It said the resolutions "sets a dangerously low threshold for war" and compares Iran to the Soviet Union.
A little-noticed documentary titled "The Coming is Upon Us" was produced by Ahmadinejad's office last year and it lays out the regime's beliefs and planned path forward, much like Mein Kampf did. And it debunks the notion that the U.S.S.R. and the Iranian regime are equivalent. The film makes the case that the regime's leaders are the incarnations of specific End Times figures foretold in Islamic eschatology.
Iran is the "nation from the East" that paves the way for the Mahdi's appearance. Supreme Leader Khamenei is Seyed Khorasani, "the preparer" who comes from Khorasan Province with a black flag and a distinct feature in his right hand. Khamenei's right hand is paralyzed from an assassination attempt. Khorasani's commander-in-chief is Shoeib-Ebne Saleh, who the film says is President Ahmadinejad. Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah is the incarnation of Yamani, a commander with a Yemeni ancestry who leads the Mahdi's army into Mecca.
These three "preparers" wage war against the Antichrist and "the Imposters"-the U.S., Israel and the West's Arab allies. The film also mentions that a figure named Sofiani will side with Islam's enemies. Former Iranian Revolutionary Guards officer Reza Kahlili, who leaked the film, told me that the full-length version identifies him as Jordanian King Abdullah II.
The film lists various End Times prophecies that have been fulfilled to argue that the Mahdi's appearance is near. The 1979 Islamic Revolution in Iran; the invasion of Iraq from the south and subsequent sectarian violence and death of Saddam Hussein; the Houthi rebellion in Yemen; the fall of Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak and the increasing amount of open homosexuality, cross-dressing, adultery and women taking off the hijab are correlated to specific Islamic prophecies.
There are two signs yet to be fulfilled that will trigger the final grand conflict that the Mahdi will intervene during: An Arab coalition is to unite and rid itself of foreign influence and Saudi King Abdullah, who is 87 years old, is to die. The Muslim Brotherhood's rise is fulfilling the first prophecy,the film says.
The speakers state that Islamic prophecy talks of the Bani Abbas Dynasty ruling modern-day Saudi Arabia during the End Times, which is the Saudi Royal Family. The prophecy is that this dynasty will be ruled by someone named Abdullah, whose death will lead to internal turmoil right before the Mahdi's appearance. It notes that no one named Abdullah has ruled there in the past 100 years.
"For about 10 minutes [in the full-length film], the video lists the names of clerics, including very influential ones like Ayatollah Haeri Shirazi and former Revolutionary Guards chief commander Seyed Yahya Safavi, who affirm their belief that Khamenei is Seyed Khorasani. This isn't propaganda, the regime really believes it," Kahlili told me.
The Iranian regime has a realistic strategy to dominate the Middle East and lead an Arab coalition in taking Jerusalem--the two tasks that will, in its mind, trigger the Mahdi's appearance.
Iran is wisely perfecting all elements of a nuclear-armed missile before creating a bomb. It is working on the nuclear triggering mechanism, a deliverable warhead and is accumulating the supplies and infrastructure necessary to quickly produce an arsenal. Almost everything besides actually putting together a bomb is permitted under the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. Under Article 10, Iran can announce that it is withdrawing from the treaty in 90 days because of a security threat. Ironically, an Israeli strike could be used as that pretext. Iran could declare that it didn't intend to build nukes, but Israel's actions now force it to. Of course, Iran could just ignore its treaty obligations altogether.
Ayatollah Khamenei's anti-nuke fatwa is conditional and, as Amer Taheri explains, it's never even been published in its entirety. There can easily be an escape clause we don't know about, if the fatwa even exists in the first place. In 2009, Ahmadinejad left the door open to building nukes if the security of his country requires it. Some Iranian clerics and officials are already giving religious justifications for becoming nuclear-armed.
It is wishful thinking to believe that the pro-American Arab states can contain Iran. The governments are already insecure in the wake of the Arab Spring and, in what the Iranians surely see as an act of providence, the Shiites in the Sunni-ruled Arab countries are perfectly positioned to seize the region's oil supplies. Take a look at the map produced by Mark Langfan to see how easily Iran can take effective control of about 56% of the world's oil reserves. About 90% of Saudi Arabia's oil is located in its Shiite-populated Eastern Province. Bahrain is a majority-Shiite state. The oil-rich areas of southern Iraq are in the midst of a Shiite population. Iran can carve out enclaves in these areas through proxies or force the Arab countries to capitulate by stirring up discontent.
If Iran controls the oil and has nuclear weapons capabilities, it is hard to see how the international sanctions and agreements to reduce imports of Iranian oil survive. The European and Asian countries were slow to get on board in the first place. Increasing oil prices, the temptation to accept Iran after it acquires nuclear capability and the political power of the growing Muslim population in Europe will test these countries' commitments.
The key question is how Iran plans to retake Jerusalem and destroy Israel once Saudi King Abdullah dies and this Arab coalition has been assembled. An all-out war is an option. After all, former Iranian President Rafsanjani said in December 2001 that "the use of even one nuclear bomb inside Israel will destroy everything. However, it will only harm the Islamic world. It is not irrational to contemplate such an eventuality." But another option exists: Asymmetric warfare carried out with the protection of a nuclear shield.
President Ahmadinejad recently said that "the destruction of the Zionist regime does not necessitate making war. If countries of the region cut ties with the Zionists and give them dirty looks, it will spell the end of this puppet regime." A regional coalition could isolate Israel and sponsor countless terrorist attacks that wreck the economy and weaken it to the point where direct warfare becomes a viable option. The U.S. could militarily intervene in a conventional war but the U.S. is unlikely to get involved if it is asymmetric, especially if Iran has nuclear weapons.
Iran has been simulating the use of an Electro-Magnetic Pulse. This is the detonation of a nuclear weapon in the atmosphere that destroys electronic components over an extremely long distance. An EMP attack would instantly disable the U.S., bringing the country back to the 1800s. It would be far easier for Iran to do the same to Israel. It is easy to envision millions of martyrdom-seekers pouncing at the opportunity to take part in, what they feel, is a prophetic event.
When you consider the Arab Spring, the region's oil fields' proximity to Shiite populations, the inability to stop Iran's nuclear program and the EMP technology, you can see why the Iranian regime believes it owns the future. Unfortunately, the West dismisses the proclaimed goals of the regime as meaningless bravado that, even if it is genuine, could never come to pass.
The Iranian regime's religious beliefs may be crazy but it isn't crazy for thinking it can win.

1. Field of the Invention
The field of invention relates to child's behavioral control devices, and more particularly pertains to a new and improved child's behavioral calendar apparatus wherein the same is arranged to indicate degree of behavior or misbehavior of a child per a given time frame.
2. Description of the Prior Art
Various calendar devices are utilized throughout the prior art as teaching and learning devices and are exemplified by the U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,862,505 to Keith, et al; 4,783,922 to Moore; 3,702,507 to Romey; 4,863,386 to Maxey; and 4,128,990 to Phillips to effect the calculation of various teaching and learning components such as calendar days.
As such, it may be appreciated that there continues to be a need for a new and improved child's behavioral calendar apparatus as set forth by the instant invention which addresses both the problems of ease of use as well as effectiveness in construction in effecting a behavioral marking of various child's behavioral events and in this respect, the present invention substantially fulfills this need.
In view of the foregoing disadvantages inherent in the known types of calendar apparatus now present in the prior art, the present invention provides a child's behavioral calendar apparatus wherein the same is arranged for the visual indication of a child's misbehavior in an effort to effect positive change thereto. As such, the general purpose of the present invention, which will be described subsequently in greater detail, is to provide a new and improved child's behavioral calendar apparatus which has all the advantages of the prior art calendar apparatus and none of the disadvantages.
To attain this, the present invention provides a behavioral calendar structure arranged to include a support plate mounting an upper housing and lower housing thereto. The upper housing includes a first "W" shaped loop to accommodate one counting sphere for each day per week. A second inverted "U" shaped loop mounted to the second housing includes second spheres to accommodate four more spheres to indicate a corresponding number of misbehaviors of a number of days per week. A total of four more displacements of the second spheres effects the displacement in a week of one of a third sphere of a third loop to indicate a single week's behavior. Misbehavior of three or more such spheres effects displacement of the "W" shaped spheres to indicate in a calendar year the number of months of misbehavioral activity. A fourth inverted "U" shaped loop mounted to the second housing is arranged for calendar months corresponding movement of a single sphere per month to indicate whether a child has misbehaved a greater number of months and the current calendar month as indicated by the fourth loop. A modification of the invention includes the first and fifth "W" shaped loops formed of a translucent material to effect illumination of the loops for enhanced visibility as well as illumination of the pictorial designations rearwardly of the distal ends of each of the first and fifth loops.
My invention resides not in any one of these features per se, but rather in the particular combination of all of them herein disclosed and claimed and it is distinguished from the prior art in this particular combination of all of its structures for the functions specified.
There has thus been outlined, rather broadly, the more important features of the invention in order that the detailed description thereof that follows may be better understood, and in order that the present contribution to the art may be better appreciated. There are, of course, additional features of the invention that will be described hereinafter and which will form the subject matter of the claims appended hereto. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the conception, upon which this disclosure is based, may readily be utilized as a basis for the designing of other structures, methods and systems for carrying out the several purposes of the present invention. It is important, therefore, that the claims be regarded as including such equivalent constructions insofar as they do not depart from the spirit and scope and the present invention.
Further, the purpose of the foregoing abstract is to enable the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office and the public generally, and especially the scientists, engineers and practitioners in the art who are not familiar with patent or legal terms or phraseology, to determine quickly from a cursory inspection the nature and essence of the technical disclosure of the application. The abstract is neither intended to define the invention of the application, which is measured by the claims, nor is it intended to be limiting as to the scope of the invention in any way.
It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a new and improved child's behavioral calendar apparatus which has all the advantages of the prior art calendar apparatus and none of the disadvantages.
It is another object of the present invention to provide a new and improved child's behavioral calendar apparatus which may be easily and efficiently manufactured and marketed.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide a new and improved child's behavioral calendar apparatus which is of a durable and reliable construction.
An even further object of the present invention is to provide a new and improved child's behavioral calendar apparatus which is susceptible of a low cost of manufacture with regard to both materials and labor, and which accordingly is then susceptible of low prices of sale to the consuming public, thereby making such child's behavioral calendar apparatus economically available to the buying public.
Still yet another object of the present invention is to provide a new and improved child's behavioral calendar apparatus which provides in the apparatuses and methods of the prior art some of the advantages thereof, while simultaneously overcoming some of the disadvantages normally associated therewith.
These together with other objects of the invention, along with the various features of novelty which characterize the invention, are pointed out with particularity in the claims annexed to and forming part of this disclosure. For a better understanding of the invention, its operating advantages and the specific objects attained by its uses, reference should be had to the accompanying drawings and descriptive matter in which there is illustrated preferred embodiments of the invention.
The invention will be better understood and objects other than those set forth above will become apparent when consideration is given to the following detailed description thereof. Such description makes reference to the annexed drawings wherein:
FIG. 1, is an orthographic view, taken in elevation of the instant invention.
FIG. 2, is an orthographic side view of the instant invention.
FIGS. 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9 are orthographic views of variously colored indicator spheres utilized by the invention.
FIGS. 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, and 16 are illustrative cross-sectional illustrations to indicate various colorations of the spheres of the FIGS. 3-9 respectively.
FIG 17, is an isometric illustration of the instant invention.
FIG. 18, is an isometric illustration of a modification of the invention.
FIG. 19, is an enlarged partial sectional view, taken in isometric illustration, of the upper housing structure.
FIG. 20, is an enlarged isometric illustration of section 20 as set fourth in FIG. 19.
With reference now to the drawings, and in particular to FIGS. 1 to 20 thereof, a new and improved child's behavioral calendar apparatus embodying the principles and concepts of the present invention and generally designated by the reference numerals 10 and 10a will be described.
More specifically, the child's behavioral calendar apparatus 10 of the instant invention essentially comprises a support plate 11 including an upper housing 12 spaced from and parallel a lower housing 13. The upper housing 12 is arranged in contiguous communication relative to the support plate top edge 14 extending from a right side 16 to a left side 17. Similarly, the lower housing 13 extends in contiguous communication with the support plate bottom edge 15 extending coextensively between the right side 16 and the left side 17.
A first loop 24 of a generally inverted "U" shaped configuration is mounted at each distal end to the bottom housing 13, with the first loop 24 including a first end pictorial plate 25 and a second end pictorial plate 26 indicative of acceptable and unacceptable behavior respectively. First loops spheres 28 are slidably mounted along the first loop 24. In this manner, the first loop is indicative of the number of days of a week a child has behaved in an unacceptable manner, whereupon displacement of four or more of the first loop spheres 28 from a position adjacent the first pictorial plate 25 to the second pictorial plate 26, a second loop sphere 27 is displaced from a first position within a first trough 19 of the second loop to a second through 20 of the second loop, wherein the second loop is of a generally "W" shaped configuration as illustrated and extends from a second loop first end pictorial plate to a second loop second end pictorial plate 22 and 23 respectively. Should a child within a week or seven days indicated by the seven spheres of the second loop 18 be assessed of improper behavior, a third loop sphere 36 is displaced along a third loop 29 of a generally "U" shaped inverted configuration from a third loop first end pictorial plate 31 to a third loop second pictorial plate 32.
Should there be three of more such improper weeks of behavior within a given month, a fourth loop sphere 37 is displaced along the fourth loop 33 of a "U" shaped inverted configuration from adjacent the fourth loop first pictorial plate 34 to the fourth loop second pictorial plate 35. A fifth "W" shaped loop 39 mounted extending downwardly from the first housing 12 includes a fifth loop first trough and a fifth loop second trough 40 and 41 respectively. The fifth loop spheres 44 are displaceable from the first end 42 to the second end 43, and more specifically from the first trough 40 to the second trough 41, wherein twelve such fifth loop spheres are provided to indicate the number of months having been traversed in the year. In this manner, an individual may access the number of spheres 37 displaced in the fourth loop relative to the number of spheres displaced in the fifth loop, whereupon it is desirable that at least a greater number of spheres be passed by the fifth loop to indicate that a child's behavior is not acceptable in every month of the year and in this manner, improvement in the child's behavior is encouraged.
Variously colored spheres may be utilized in the various loops of the organization to provide for a contrasting coloration to enhance attraction and understanding by a child. The FIGS. 3-9 and the associated cross-sections 10-16 are indicative of possible colorations utilized but not to be limited thereto.
The FIG. 18 illustrates a modified apparatus 10a to include a support plate 45 mounting a plurality of writing instruments 47 thereon, wherein an erasable polymeric note plate 46 extends upwardly and orthogonally relative to the support plate 45 for indications and notation of various types of behavior that is undesirable and corrective measures that a child has agreed to accept to be written on the note plate 46. Further, a first and second on/off switch 48 and 49 are provided within the first housing to operate respective illumination bulbs 50 therewithin (see Fig. 19). The first and fifth "W" shaped loops 18 and 39 are of a tubular, hollow, translucent construction, whereupon illumination of the illumination bulbs 50, illumination is thusly transferred into the translucent tubes 18 and 39 for projection along the tubes, wherein it is hoped that a greater degree of illumination is effected relative to the second pictorial plate 23 as the pictorial plates 22 and 23 are of a translucent construction to indicate the acceptable and unacceptable behavioral sides of the loop 18. The upper housing 12 is hollow to contain the various components in the illumination within the housing 12 for illumination of the tubular loops 18 and 39, as well as the first and second pictorial plates 22 and 23 of the first loop.
The door plate 52 is pivotally mounted through a forward wall of the upper housing 12 to permit access and maintenance of the illumination bulb 50 and the associated battery member therewithin the housing 12 adjacent the door plate 52.
As to the manner of usage and operation of the instant invention, the same should be apparent from the above disclosure, and accordingly no further discussion relative to the manner of usage and operation of the instant invention shall be provided.
With respect to the above description then, it is to be realized that the optimum dimensional relationships for the parts of the invention, to include variations in size, materials shape, form, function and manner of operation, assembly and use, are deemed readily apparent and obvious to one skilled in the art, and all equivalent relationships to those illustrated in the drawings and described in the specification are intended to be encompassed by the present invention.
Therefore, the foregoing is considered as illustrative only of the principles of the invention. Further, since numerous modifications and changes will readily occur to those skilled in the art, it is not desired to limit the invention to the exact construction and operation shown and described, and accordingly, all suitable modifications and equivalents may be resorted to, falling within the scope of the invention.
