Grubhub, Seamless food-delivery apps add Apple Pay support
Two of the largest food-delivery services in the US, Grubhub and its subsidiary Seamless, have updated their iOS apps to accept Apple Pay payments, widening the circle of merchants who accept Apple Pay online. Grubhub generated $2.4 billion in sales in 2015, and 60 percent of that came from online ordering through its mobile apps, so the addition of Apple Pay may help further spur adoption. As recently reported, Apple Pay is highly-regarded among users and banks, but merchants in the US have been slow to adopt the technology, since it generally requires a change in point-of-sale (POS) terminals.
One More Thing episode 032: iPad, you pad, we all pad

Briefly: Sprint expands Direct 2 You, T-Mobile revives $120 plan
Sprint is expanding its Direct 2 You personalized delivery program to cover customers in more cities, bringing the total number of metropolitan areas it now delivers smartphones within to 27. The new areas now serviced by Direct 2 You representatives are Charlotte, N.C., Cincinnati, Las Vegas, Nashville, New Orleans, Pittsburgh, and Salt Lake City, with more cities expected to join the list next year.
New Amazon program pays individuals for delivering to other customers
Amazon has launched a service that allows its customers to pick up some extra cash, by working as a part-time delivery driver for the retailer. Leaked last month, Amazon Flex will pay drivers to perform deliveries for it's Prime Now one-hour delivery service in a number of markets, with participants being paid between $18 and $25 per hour to hand over products to other customers within an hour or two of being ordered.
Amazon Flex notices in Seattle suggest new delivery service on the way
Amazon is allegedly looking into offering another way for customers to receive their orders, by collecting it from Amazon itself. A building in Kirkland expected to be the base for future Prime Now deliveries in the Seattle area is also displaying signs for an unannounced service called Amazon Flex, believed to be either a way for customers to pick up orders directly, or possibly for some form of crowdsourced delivery system.
Briefly: Amazon Echo in Staples, Amazon Prime sharing restricted
The Amazon Echo, the network-connected speaker hosting the retailer's Alexa assistant, has gone on sale through a third-party store for the first time. Staples is offering the cylindrical speaker through its website to all customers priced at $180, the same as Amazon. So far, it can only be acquired through the Staples website, with delivery to local stores available as a shipping option, though there is still the potential to sell it from stores directly.
Briefly: Sprint Direct 2 You in more cities, Amazon Prime Now in UK
Sprint is bringing its Direct 2 You home delivery and set-up service to two new markets. The latest major expansion of the service, Sprint will now be delivering smartphones and transferring files and user settings between old and new devices in New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Denver. This brings the total number of cities covered by Direct 2 You to 28, with it expected to roll out to more locations throughout the rest of this year.
Sprint Direct 2 You program has carrier staff delivering to customers
Sprint is starting a new program which aims to bring the retail experience to the customer's doorstep. Direct 2 You is best described as a mix between home delivery and visiting a Sprint store, with carrier representatives not only delivering orders to customers directly, but also taking the time to offer initial usage support as well as migrating customer data between devices.
Briefly: Amazon Prime Now Dallas, Channel 4 rebrands 4oD as All4
Amazon Prime Now, the retailer's high-speed delivery service, is opening up in Dallas. Just as with its other Prime Now locations, Prime subscribers in the fourth location will be able to use a mobile app on iOS and Android to place orders for groceries and household goods, between 8am and 10pm seven days a week, with TechCrunch reporting it still costs $8 for one-hour deliveries, while two-hour deliveries are free.

WhatsApp now handles over 100M calls daily
WhatsApp is celebrating that it is being used for over 100 million calls every day. In a brief notice, the Facebook-owned messaging platform advises the voice-calling feature it rolled out to its users last year now deals with an average of over 1,100 calls initiated per second. Earlier this year, it increased the security of its calls and other messages, by introducing end-to-end encryption on all platforms. http://bit.ly/292HqCX
Adele's '25' album now streaming
Recording artist Adele has "pulled a Kanye" after saying that her current album "25" would not be available for streaming. The seven-month-old record, which has yielded a number of hit singles, is now available for streaming on all the major streaming services, such as Apple Music and Spotify, as of today in most major markets, with worldwide distribution to come. Reportedly, the singer had demanded streaming be limited to paid subscribers -- a condition that has hurt some streamers with artists, who aren't paid royalties for free or trial listens . Apple pays performers its normal royalty rates during its free trial, avoiding the issue -- and having repeated success in both signing up exclusives and placing those exclusives into the top of the charts. http://ti.me/28U7NOu
SanDisk iXpand case has battery, storage
A new iPhone 6 and iPhone 6s case from SanDisk appears to be the "holy grail" of accessories: a stylish and protective case that offers both extra storage as well as the option of extra battery power as well. The iXpand Memory case offers either 32GB, 64GB, or 128GB of additional storage incorporated into the case, and an optional add-on battery pack (sold separately) adds up to an extra day or more of charge. Through the associated iXpand app, camera photos and videos can be automatically stored on the extra storage, optionally password-protected, The cost for the case is (in order of storage capacity) $60, $100, and $130. The battery pack's release data has not yet been announced, but the add-on should retail for an additional $30. http://bit.ly/291epHu
Fifth Hong Kong store to open June 30
The 46th official Apple store in what the company calls the "Greater China" region will open at 10AM local time in Hong Kong's New Town Plaza in the Sha Tin district on Thursday, June 30, according to a new page on Apple's retail website. Despite slowing growth due to economic turmoil in China, the country is still Apple's fastest-growing market. The new story will be the fifth for Hong Kong, a lucrative market for Apple thanks to the high concentration of wealth there and a thriving "gray" market. Normal store hours for the new store will be 10AM to 10PM every day. http://apple.co/291diaT
Apple Music bug bites very short songs
There appears to be a reproducible bug in the current version of iTunes -- version 12.4.1, running on OS X 10.11.5, both the current non-beta versions of the respective software -- that causes a streamed song to become "stuck" in endless buffering if the streamed item just before this happened was 60 seconds or less in length. The problem appears to stem from code in iTunes that signals the next track to start downloading one minute before the currently-playing track is done, and thus songs shorter than one minute don't trigger the download. Locally-stored music is unaffected by the bug, and the problem does not appear to exist in either the macOS Sierra developer beta or versions of iTunes earlier than 12.4, and does not affect the iOS Music app at all. http://bit.ly/291cN0l
Walmart Pay expands to 15 states
Walmart, one of the key progenitors of the failed CurrentC mobile payment system that was distinguished from Apple Pay by its ability to collect and share customer financial and buying data among its participants, has expanded the soft rollout of its alternative solution "Walmart Pay" to an additional 15 US states following a pilot program in Arkansas and Texas last month. Walmart continues to resist adding Apple Pay. The system, built into the Walmart app for iOS and Android, works with a complicated system of the camera scanning a purchase code at the register, then generating a QR code which is then scanned by the register. The system is available now in Alabama, Georgia, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, North Carolina, North Dakota, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Virginia, and Washington, DC. http://apple.co/28SqZfu
Amazon refreshes entry-level Kindle
Amazon has added a new Kindle to its ebook reader range, one that is thinner and lighter than the previous entry-level model. Offering a six-inch 167-dpi touchscreen display, a doubled 4GB of storage, and an option for a white casing, the new model also adds in the ability to export highlights and notes to an email account as a PDF. Two versions of the all-new Kindle are available, priced at $80 including "Special Offers" and $100 without. http://amzn.to/28Q4c3R

*** This review may contain spoilers ***
Aside from seeing a few clips of the old shows and seeing the venerable portrayer of Ian Chesterton the rest is rather cruddy modern trash. David Tennant (who plays one of the Doctors in the new and inferior series) is particularly odious and stupid. The worst part though is when they play one of the old shows LETTERBOXED. The idiots simply hacked off the top and bottom parts of the picture. Why would anyone want to see a mutilated version of the show? Are they brain damaged? It beggars belief to see such incompetence. In many scenes the tops of the actors heads are cut off. Naturally when it was originally filmed in the proper 4:3 format the cameramen centred the actors in the frame. When the top and bottom are deleted this is what happens.

There is a saying attributed to W L Batemen: "If you keep on doing what you have always done, you will keep on getting what you've always got."
OPINION: It is succinct and needs no explanation - and is well worth remembering as we start to think about the time of year and, in particular, the coming season of resolution.
Many of us try to use a new year to make the changes that we know we need to make. Intuitively a new year seems like a good time to make a new life and start afresh to change the way we do things (although there is no reason to wait for a new year if you do not want to). I doubt that many resolutions stick, whether made at New Year or not. We resolve to do things, but a little later find ourselves in just the same position as we were. This is apparent in a lot of different things: our health, our weight, our jobs and, of course, our finances.
Financial change is hard. We usually know what we need to do, but simply cannot endure the necessary change for long. Whether the change required is increasing your income, achieving a budget surplus or changing your investment strategy, it's not easy. Unless we get very, very lucky, change to our circumstances comes from change to ourselves (Lotto should not be relied on). So, we have to find ways to make the necessary changes easier so that they stick.
The first thing to do is to find your motivation. Ideally, this would be something attractive that you are drawn towards such as the deposit for a house or enough money for retirement rather than something negative (if we stay on the current track we will be in the doss house in a few months). However, whether negative or positive, you have to know why you are making the change and hold on to that idea through thick and thin.
You should set a goal that properly reflects what you are trying to achieve - we will have $60,000 for a house deposit by the end of 2015 or we will have $20,000 annual income from our investments for retirement by the end of the year. Such a goal, especially if committed to writing, is powerful psychologically as you have worked out exactly what success looks like and when you want to achieve it.
Second, think about the social context of the resolutions and changes that you are planning. It is critical that you enrol your partner/spouse in to what you are trying to do. You cannot expect to fight well on two fronts - a fight to keep the resolution you have made, and the other a fight with the family.
Although you need to enlist the support of key family members, be careful who else you tell. If you tell people that you will retire in five years or that you have decided to save for a house deposit, you may find doubters and knockers who undermine your resolve.
Third, change concerns your daily routine. This may mean you have to stop the style and type of investing that you are used to - many people going into retirement find this difficult, while others find the sale of poor investments impossible to face up to.
Habits die hard and old habits die hardest. Pick on just one habit and change that before you move on to the next habit.
You are unlikely to be able to keep your resolutions through willpower alone: research shows we each have only a limited amount of willpower and we should spend it at only one place at a time. Therefore, you have to make the changes habitual and easy: Join KiwiSaver if you want retirement savings; adopt the pay yourself first approach if you are saving for a house deposit; or increase the mortgage payments if you want to reduce debt faster. Do whatever you have to so that the changed behaviour is a routine. A lot of financial success comes from knowing exactly what you want and resolving to make the necessary changes.

1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a method of folding a continuous web of a thermoplastic film material incorporating complementary interengagable profiled fastener elements, and aligning and interengaging the complementary fastener elements. Moreover, the invention relates to a device over which the web of thermoplastic film material is folded, with the device possessing structure for superimposing and aligning the fastener elements and interengaging the fastener elements which are adapted to be utilized in the production of reclosable plastic bags.
Basically, plastic bags which are produced from an extruded thermoplastic film web material, and which bags incorporate resealable closures, such as interengagable fastener elements forming such closures to provide hermetically sealed bags which, subsequent to being opened by separating the interengaged fastener elements, are then reclosable by again engaging the fastener elements, are widely known in the art, and have gained widespread consumer acceptance.
Thus, an extensive variety of products can be readily packaged and stored under widely ranging temperature conditions in such plastic bags, ranging from food items which are adapted to be frozen and/or stored for lengthy periods of times, to hardware, soft goods, and sundry types of materials in either a fluid, solid, or granular-pulverulent state.
Generally, such plastic bags are formed from continuous webs of extruded thermoplastic materials in which complementary fastener elements are integrally coextruded with or attached to the film, with the film then being folded in order to align the fastener elements in a superimposed relationship and with the elements thereafter being interengaged. Subsequently, lateral seals extending transverse of the direction of advance or machine direction of the film web are imparted at predetermined intervals to the folded film, and the film is cut into individual sections, or weakening lines are formed in the regions of such lateral seals in order to form the folded web into individual thermoplastic bags which are either separated or attached to each other along the weakening lines, which may be either perforations, serrations, slits, or score lines in the film.
A major problem which is encountered in the folding of such thermoplastic film material possessing complementary profiled fastener elements for the formation of plastic bags resides in implementing the precise aligning of the fastener elements during the advance of the web at the relatively high production speeds which are necessary for an economical manufacture of such bags.
In order to achieve a maximum production rate for such reclosable thermoplastic bags which are formed from a folded continuous web of a thermoplastic film incorporating complementary interengagable and repeatedly openable fastener elements, it is essential that during the folding of the film web there is effected the precisely aligned superposition between the components of the complementary fastener elements, so as to enable them to be interengaged through the application of external pressure to the film web as the latter is advanced in the machine direction.
2. Discussion of the Prior Art
At this time, the needs of industry in developing methods and devices for aligning and interengaging continuous fastener elements formed on extruded thermoplastic film web material, such as for plastic bags, have not been fully addressed in the technology relating to the high speed formation of reclosable plastic bags constituted of thermoplastic film material.
Thus, Ausnit U.S. Pat. No. 4,196,030 discloses a method for producing extruded thermoplastic bags, wherein a relatively complex manufacturing procedure is employed for folding the thermoplastic film and interengaging male and female profiled fastener elements which form reclosable closures for the film bags, such elements being integral protuberances formed on the film web surface during extrusion of the film.
Zygan, et al. U.S. Pat. No. 3,240,412 discloses an arrangement for handling tensioned webs of foil possessing flanged edges, in which the flanged edges are passed through a clamping device providing a gap sufficiently wide to allow the foil or web to pass therethrough while maintaining the flanged structure on the web in a clamped relationship to allow for appropriate tensioning of the foil web.
Hawley U.S. Pat. No. 3,579,747 discloses a plastic film sheeting having stripping of profiled male and female fastener elements molded along the longitudinal edges thereof. The fastener elements are adapted to be interengaged through the action of an aligning slide fastener block through the openings of which the male and female fastener members are aligned and thereafter interengaged to form a closed fastener arrangement.
Sanborn, Jr. U.S. Pat. No. 4,240,241 discloses a method and apparatus for producing a reclosable package, such as a package constituted of a thermoplastic material in which pressure is applied to cause the interengagement of profiled fastener elements formed on plastic film or package structure.
However, none of the prior art disclosures relate to the folding of thermoplastic film webs in a predetermined manner to align profiled fastener elements formed thereon as the film is conducted at a high rate of speed over a folding apparatus which will align the fastener elements for interengagement thereof.
In essence, the current state of the technology does not make any adequate provision for properly aligning the complementary components of a zipper or continuous profiled fastener elements formed on a thermoplastic film web material which, in particular, is adapted for the production of plastic bags having reclosable openings formed by the fastener elements.
Pursuant to the present invention, a continuous web of a thermoplastic film material having complementary profiled fastener elements attached or formed thereon and extending in the machine direction of the web, is adapted to be folded so as to extend along the opposite sides of a folding and aligning block incorporating structure for aligning the complementary components of the fastener elements advancing along the opposite surfaces to be brought into a precise superimposed relationship so as to be latchingly interengaged through the application of pressure by being conveyed between counter-rotatable nip rolls.
Thus, pursuant to the present invention, a continuous web of an extruded thermoplastic film material possessing continuous stripping of profiled fastener elements extending along the longitudinal axis or machine direction of the film is folded over the opposite conveying surfaces of a triangular folding block such that the fastener elements face towards the surfaces. The opposite surfaces are provided with recesses or grooves for receiving the respective mating components of the profiled fastener elements, such as to thereby align the components of the fastener elements relative to each other in a precisely oriented superimposed relationship upon the folded film web leaving the folding block. In order to maintain the components of the fastener elements in their respective grooves on the triangular folding block, thereby ensuring their alignment, suitable clamping blocks are fastened to the block so as to extend along the surfaces containing the grooves, and forming gaps with the surfaces sufficiently wide to enable the thermoplastic film to pass therethrough, but narrow enough to prevent the fastener elements from slipping out from the respective grooves in the opposite surfaces of the triangular block.
Upon the superimposed fastener elements leaving the folding block in their aligned position, which is due to the arrangement and location of the grooves in the opposite surfaces of the folding block and the joining at the bottom end thereof, external pressure is applied to the fastener elements, such as passing the folded web between a pair of rotating nip rolls, whereby the pressure causes the fastener elements to interengage and to essentially form a closed (but reopenable) fastener or seal structure. Thereafter, the folded thermoplastic film with the fastener elements being in interengagement, in effect, a flattened tubular structure in transverse cross-section, is conducted towards a suitable apparatus for producing the transverse heat seals and to form a series of reclosable thermoplastic bags, as is described hereinabove.
Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a method of folding a web of a thermoplastic film material incorporating complementary fastener element components, and aligning the components of the fastener elements for ready interengagement.
Another object of the invention resides in the provision of a novel aligning block structure for accurately aligning profiled fastener elements on a folded thermoplastic film web, and interengaging the fastener elements to form closures for plastic bags.
Reference may now be had to the following detailed description of an exemplary embodiment of the invention for the folding of thermoplastic film material having complementary fastener elements thereon, and for the aligned superposition of the components of the fastener elements to enable them to be interengaged in an efficient and rapid mode, taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings; in which:
FIG. 1 schematically illustrates a device for the folding web of a thermoplastic film material and for aligning and superimposing complementary fastener elements formed thereon;
FIG. 2 illustrates a side elevational view of the web folding device including the aligning block and nip rolls for the fastener elements;
FIG. 3 illustrates a sectional view taken along line 3--3 in FIG. 2;
FIG. 4 illustrates an opposite side elevational view;
FIG. 5 illustrates a front elevational view of the device;
FIG. 6 schematically illustrates a perspective view of the aligner block for the fastener elements on the film web;
FIG. 7 illustrates an enlarged fragmentary section taken along line 7--7 in FIG. 6; and
FIGS. 8 and 8a illustrate, respectively on enlarged scales, the folded film web and the details of the complementary profiled fastener elements on the thermoplastic film web.
Referring in detail to the drawings, and particularly FIG. 1 which generally schematically illustrates an arrangement 10 for the folding of a layflat web of an extruded thermoplastic material, and aligning and superimposing profiled fastener elements formed on the film web.
A web W of a thermoplastic film material having strippings of complementary fastener elements formed thereon is conveyed over a feed roller 12 along the direction of arrow A, preferably continuously advancing in the machine direction of the web.
As the film web W is conveyed over the feed roller 12, it is folded into surface portions W' and W" so as to extend over a substantially triangular aligner block 14, with the facing surfaces of the folded film web being in surface contact with the opposite converging side surfaces 16 and 18 of the aligner block 14.
The thermoplastic film web W, as shown on enlarged scales in FIGS. 8 and 8A, is provided with continuous strippings of complementary profiled fastener elements F' and F", which are either integrally formed with the film web W or heat or adhesive bonded thereto, and which extend in spaced relationship along the longitudinal axis of the web W in the machine direction thereof whereby, upon folding of the web W, the fastener elements F', F" face each other as shown in FIGS. 8 and 8a. The fastener elements, which are of a somewhat heavier and consequently more rigid construction than the relatively thin flexible thermoplastic film web W, may be in the shape of resiliently or pliably interengagable hooks or the like, which can be readily pulled apart, as is well known in the technology relating to molded reclosable thermoplastic fastener elements, such as are employed on plastic bags, and need not be described in further detail herein.
As the mutually facing fastener elements F', F" on the folded web surfaces W' and W" are aligned and then superimposed at the lower apex formed by the converging surfaces 16, 18 of the triangular aligner block 14, the film web is conveyed between a pair of counter-rotating nip rolls 20, 22, which are subjected to compressive forces tending to bias the rolls together, as is detailed hereinbelow. The compressive action exerted by the nip rolls 20, 22 against the superimposed fastener elements F', F" will cause the hook portions on the complementary fastener elements to interengage, thereby effectively forming a closed or sealed flattened tubular structure from the film W after passing between the nip rolls. If desired, the end of the folded film web W which is distant from the fastener elements F', F", may be provided with an inwardly folded gusset G as is well known in the forming of gussetted plastic bags or sacks. Thereafter, the flattened end folded film web W, with the fastener elements F', F" being in an interengaged condition, may have transverse seals imparted thereto at predetermined spacings, and cut into separate bag unit through the seals, or alternatively formed into a series of contiguously attached bags which may be readily separated from each other through the formation of either weakening score lines, slits, perforations or serrations extending through the transverse seals, as is well known in the art.
It is an important aspect of the present invention that the profiled complementary fastener elements F', F" be brought into precise alignment and superposition with each other subsequent to the folding of the web W in order to enable the fastener elements to be readily interengaged upon being conveyed through the bite between the nip rolls 20, 22.
In order to attain the foregoing, the structure of the inventive arrangement, which incorporates the aligner block 14 for the fastener elements F', F" is shown in further detail in FIGS. 2 through 7 of the drawings, as described hereinbelow.
A stationary frame assembly 30 possesses suitable support structure, such as horizontal beams and upright members, which are not described in detail, and at the upper end of which there is rotatably journaled the feed roller 12, over which there is conducted the layflat film web W along the direction of arrow A, as also shown in FIG. 1. The film web W may be supplied either directly from an extruder (not shown), or from a supply source such as a roll of the film material. The profiled fastener elements F', F" may be integrally molded into or extruded with the film web W as continuous stripping extending along the machine direction of the film. Alternatively, the fastener elements may be applied to the film web after extruding, such as by adhesive or heat bonding.
The film web W is then conducted downwardly and concurrently folded such that the folded sides W', W" of the film facing towards each other will, respectively, slide along and in surface contact with the opposite converging surfaces 16, 18 of the triangular aligner block 14, towards the lower apex or juncture between these surfaces. The arrangement of the profiled fastener elements F', F" extending along each of the respective folded sides W', W" of the web W is such as to face towards each other and towards the respective converging surface 16, 18 of the aligner block 14.
In order to ensure that the profiled fastener element components F', F" are in complete alignment and superposition as they leave the aligner block 14 and are conducted into the nip or bite between the nip rolls 20, 22, each of the surfaces 16, 18 of the triangular aligner block 14, which is respectively contacted by the folded film web portion W', W", is provided with a downwardly extending elongate groove 32 which is dimensioned so as to be able to receive the applicable fastener element F', F" on the side of the folded film web portion W' or W" traveling along the applicable surface 16 or 18 of the aligner block 14.
As shown in FIG. 4, a clamping block 34, 36 is fastened to, respectively, each of the surfaces 16 and 18 of the aligner block 14, such that the surface of each block 34, 36 facing the surfaces 16, 18 is machined to provide a step which forms a narrow gap 38, for example, in the magnitude of about 0.015 inch, therewith along its length, of a width permitting the body of the film web portions W', W" to travel through the gap 38 between each clamping block and adjacent surfaces 16 or 18 of the aligner block 14, but with the gap being sufficiently narrow, as shown in FIG. 7, to prevent the fastener elements F', F" from leaving the respective groove 32 in the surfaces 16 or 18 within which they are conducted during the travel of the film web W downwardly within the gap 38 between the surfaces 16 or 18 of the aligner block 14 and the associated clamping block 34 or 36. As indicated, this will ensure that each film web section W' or W" can be readily conducted through the gap 38 along the contacting surfaces 16 or 18 of the aligner block 14, and concurrently ensure that the fastener elements F', F" will be retained within each applicable associated groove 32 as the film web travels downwardly towards the nip rolls 20, 22. Suitable spring-biased fastener elements 40 for securing the respective clamping blocks 34, 36 to the aligner block 14 will ensure that each clamping block maintains the appropriate gap spacing between the aligner block surfaces 16 and 18 along which each film section W', W" is traveling and the facing surface on each of the clamping blocks 34, 36.
As is clearly illustrated in FIG. 6 of the drawings, the inlet end of each groove 32 towards the upper edge of each surface 16, 18 is widened in an outward taper in order to facilitate the ready introduction of the fastener elements F', F" into its associated groove 32 on the respective surface 16 and 18, and then tapers down in width towards the lower portion of each surface 16, 18 in order to ensure that the fastener elements F' and F" of both folded film web portions W', W" are appropriately aligned and superimposed as they reach the lower apex or the juncture of the surfaces 16, 18 of the aligner block 14.
As the folded film web W leaves the lower apex of the triangular aligner block 14, with the fastener elements F', F" on both portions W', W" of the folded film web being in an aligned and superimposed position, as shown in FIGS. 8 and 8A, the film is conducted through the bite or nip between the counter-rotating nip rolls 20, 22. Radial pressure is imparted to at least one of the nip rolls 20 or 22, which may be axially displaced relative to its other nip roll, in order to cause that particular nip roll to be biased into contact with the cooperating nip roll; this biasing action then compressing the film web and particularly the profiled fastener elements F', F", thereby effecting the interengagement between the complementary fastener elements F', F" on the folded film web W. This compressive biasing force may be imparted to the nip rolls 20, 22 by means of a suitable pressure spring unit 42, or hydraulic cylinder, acting on one or both of the nip rolls 20, 22.
Thereafter, as discussed hereinabove, the folded and flattened film web W, with the fastener elements F', F" being in an interengaged position, may be conducted towards further processing arrangements (not shown); for instance, a seal forming station for producing plastic bags or the like from the film web.
From the foregoing, it is readily apparent that the invention is directed a relatively simple and efficient device and method for folding film webs and aligning and superimposing fastener elements on the webs to provide for the rapid and accurate interengagement of the fastener elements.
While there has been shown and described what are considered to be preferred embodiments of the invention, it will of course be understood that various modifications and changes in form or detail could readily be made without departing from the spirit of the invention. It is therefore intended that the invention be not limited to the exact form and detail herein shown and described, nor to anything less than the whole of the invention herein disclosed and as hereinafter claimed.

Abdullah discusses clean energy with Oman
Dubai: Oman has begun discussions with
India for co-operation in renewable energy sector, Renewable
Energy Minister Farooq Abdullah said in Muscat.
"Though no memorandum of understanding has been
signed, discussions with the Sultanate have been fruitful.
This has resulted in both of us preparing blue paper. Now we
will study it and take it forward," a newspaper of Oman quoted him
as saying yesterday.
Abdullah was in Muscat after attending a meeting of
energy ministers during the third World Future Energy Summit
at Abu Dhabi.
In Oman, Abdullah held talks with minister of
commerce and industry Maqbool bin Ali bin Sultan and discussed
recent developments in Oman in the field of renewable energy.
A consortium was recently selected to advise the
government of Oman on the development of the Sultanate`s first
renewable energy project.
"We also want private enterprises to play a bigger
role and the government acting merely as a facilitator," he
Wind energy, with an average growth rate of 30
percent, is the fastest growing source of renewable energy in
the world and India, with an installed capacity of more than
10,891 mega watts, occupied the fifth place in the world
in generation of the same after USA, Germany, Spain, and China
as of October, Anil Wadhwa, Indian ambassador to the Sultanate
A pilot solar power project is expected to have a
capacity of between 50 and 200 mega watts.
The consultants will shortlist the possible locations
for the projects, make recommendations about the optimum size
of the plant and assess the current market conditions for a
privately financed solar power project.
"There is an enormous scope of cooperation between
Oman and India to achieve technological advancement in this
area," he said.
The minister`s team will to explore business avenues
and investment opportunities in the field of non conventional
and renewable energy.
He also urged private sector participation in the
area while discussing the cost-effective developments in solar
technology prices by Indian firms.
The latter was considered to be a potential
alternative for an electricity infrastructure comprising of a
network of local-grid clusters with distributed electricity

The P2TM Veteran of Agritum is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by High Queen Gwendolyn Pendragon with a fair hand, and renowned for its daily referendums, hatred of cheese, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 11.184 billion Avalonians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.
The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Social Policy. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Avalon. The average income tax rate is 98.4%.
The Avalonian economy, worth a remarkable 1,326 trillion Multiversal Pound Sterlings a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Information Technology. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 118,612 Multiversal Pound Sterlings, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
The new national mascot has to be wheeled onto the field of play, 'A is for Annulment' is a popular children's song, soldiers with colourful mohawks make themselves perfect targets for snipers, and companies flee the nation rather than pay their fair share of taxes. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Agritum's national animal is the Lion, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
Agritum is ranked 147,999th in the world and 28th in Ankh Mauta for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry, scoring -22.36 on the Spitz-Pollish Productivity Index.

HCG diet
Posted in the Glasgow Forum
1 - 7 of 7 Comments Last updated Dec 23, 2012
#1 Nov 29, 2012
anyone on it?
#2 Nov 30, 2012
I have done the HCG diet.
The ONLY reason it MAY work , is due to the fact that you have to follow a strict diet consistent of ONLY 500 calories a day.
Anyone who consumes only 500 calories a day will lose weight. The HCG is a gimmick to get hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Don't fall for it. Unless of course you have money to burn.
#3 Dec 18, 2012
It is very unhealthy for you!! I tried it before i came in contact with another line of awesome products that make you healthier!!! I love them so much I am now a distributor too!!
#4 Dec 20, 2012
And what do you sell? I have been wondering about the HCG diet as well, but changed my mind after reading reviews online.
I recently had a baby and I am dying to get the extra weight off!
#5 Dec 20, 2012
Just about any diet will work for a limited time.
Trick is: You need a diet and exercise plan that you can follow as a way of life...all the time, otherwise the weight that you lost will just come right back.
Burn more calories than you take in. Eat less. Give up sugary junk and processed chemically foods. Exercise more. That's the only way you'll lose weight and keep it off.
There's no magical formula or secret to it. You don't have to pay anyone or join anything.
#6 Dec 22, 2012
You can msg me at [email protected] for more info :)
#7 Dec 23, 2012
There are good tips on here. The 500 calories a day would not be a wise thing to do. You need to eat healthy whatever you eat.
I heard recently you will lose, if you eat less each day and move more. Sounds like a good idea to me.
Forget the word diet! Read lots, and you will find something good to add to your healthy life each article.(examples; healthy foods and exercise) Everyone can move something; even those in a wheelchair.
Begin today. Today is the first day of the rest of your life. Everyone have a healthier 2013.

An official Brittany Murphy death cause may not be released for some time.
Original reports said Murphy apparently died of natural causes, specifically cardiac arrest.
But tonight, it was announced that an official cause of death has not been declared, and may not be for perhaps five or six weeks. Radar Online states the delay is due to additional toxicology and neurological tests being done.
Rumors are swirling that a Brittany Murphy anorexia connection may have something to do with how she died.
Los Angeles police are not ruling out the possibility of a drug overdose, according to reports.
Reports have also surfaced that Murphy was sick just days before her death from flu-like symptoms.
This is a developing story. Updates will be added later.

Excellent 4.0 /5 from 79 reviews
My stay here was awesome! The women treat you like gold and are beautiful !! Great service and quality was good. The only thing is that the pool makes you wear a stupid uncomfortable pool cap on before swimming. Wifi is slow !!! So don't bother with it too much , it's in and out. The best thing is that I hooked up with one of the maids here.
this was our 5th time we stayed at pavilion. it is truly a 5 star hotel with amazing staffs. very knowledgeable and helpful staff. rooms are extremely clean and comfortable. internet speed is very high. bottom line, I highly recommend this hotel!
Very nice hotel for business travel. Breakfast buffet was the most variety and the highest quality I have encountered in several trips to HK & SE China. Easily accessible and in a lively area of Shenzhen. The room is outfitted with 110V power outlets, so you do not need adapters.
Nice stay, just a little worn.
Hotel was nice, however very small bathroom compared to the size of the bedroom. This could have been designed better. Hotel looking a little tired but still comfortable. Good gym facility and large 25m swimming pool.
Is the description of this hotel not correct? Tell us

text: Ball Girl Rescues Cricket At Australian Open [Video] By Jeanne Ryan January 18, 2012 11:06 AM Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Photo courtesy of YouTube This poor girl is absolutely terrified of this cricket on the tennis court, and has to run out and grab it! Growing up in Milwaukee in a big tennis family, I was a Ball Girl at many tennis events, even some professional events. Besides having to stand perfectly still, if you are in the back court, sometimes you have to do crazy things like this. The worst thing I had to do was drape a sweaty towel over my arm, for a certain player who would come up to me and wipe her face on it and hang it back on my arm. Gross! I would rather have had to grab a giant cricket. http://youtu.be/CAlRPkSJ5gI Filed Under: Australian Open | ball girl | cricket Category: Events | Sports News | Video | Weird News Share on Facebook Share on Twitter More Leave a comment Send to a friend!

Kansas representatives illustrate divide over farm bill
The chasm over the farm bill in Congress is no more evident than in Kansas where six conservative Republicans from an agriculture state are divided on the issue.
On Thursday, the farm bill failed in the U.S. House, splitting the Kansas delegation.
U.S. Reps. Lynn Jenkins, of Topeka, whose district includes Lawrence, and Kevin Yoder, of Overland Park, voted for it, while Mike Pompeo, of Wichita, and Tim Huelskamp, of Hutchinson, were among the 62 Republicans who voted against it. The bill failed in the House, 195-234.
Jenkins blamed the failure in the House on the inability to find common ground.
" … still too many Democrats and Republicans allowed politics to trump progress, and chose to defeat this bipartisan effort. I am truly disappointed by today's vote to accept a badly broken status quo," she said.
The Senate has approved a farm bill, but Kansas' senators were on opposite sides. Jerry Moran voted for it and Roberts opposed it.
In the House, Republicans voting against the bill argued it was too expensive. Most Democrats opposed the measure because it included cuts to food stamps that would have removed as many as 2 million recipients from getting assistance.
The Senate version decreased food stamps by about one-fifth of the House bill. The White House had said it supported the Senate bill and would have vetoed the House bill.
Roberts votes against farm bill, Moran votes for it
Kansas senators Pat Roberts and Jerry Moran were on opposite sides Monday on the farm bill that was approved 66-27 in the U.S. Senate.
Moran voted for the bill, while Roberts voted against it.
In statements, the two Republicans gave their reasons.
"The Farm Bill passed in the Senate meets the two benchmarks most important to Kansas farmers and ranchers: strong, stable crop insurance and disaster programs to provide livestock producers with confidence when faced with Mother Nature's uncertainty," Moran said.
But Roberts said, "In this budget environment and at a time when we are looking to make smart cuts to farm programs, I cannot justify a subsidy program that can pay producers more than the cost of production and essentially becomes nothing more than an income transfer program, not a risk-management tool."
The bill, which will cost nearly $1 trillion over 10 years, finances crop insurance and food assistance for low-income families.
The Senate bill would cut $4.1 billion from food stamps over 10 years. The measure now goes to the House, where it faces an uncertain future. A House version would cut food stamps by $20 million.
Roberts was the ranking Republican member on the Agriculture Committee during the last Congress and supported last year's Senate-approved bill.
Roll Call reports that this year, changes made in the bill to win the support of the new ranking member, Thad Cochran, R-Miss., and other Southerners caused Roberts to oppose the new version.link text
Earlier this year, Cochran asserted seniority privilege on the Agriculture Committee after having been dropped as the top Republican on another committee. This pushed aside Roberts as the top Republican on the committee, although he is still a member.

After you tour through Willie's house, you'll have no choice but to enter his Film Stable in the rear of the house. There you can set eyes on Willie taking a break from recording a scene from his next big film, Disney's Dances with Wolves. Be sure to ask him a silly question!
