Addition of powdered supplements to a beverage container is becoming increasingly popular. For example, powdered supplements may be stored in an assembly which is fitted to the neck of the container, to release the supplement into a container of water, to be consumed by the user. The assemblies can be expensive to manufacture, and typically are designed to fit a specific container size.
Features and advantages of the disclosure will readily be appreciated by persons skilled in the art from the following detailed description when read in conjunction with the drawing wherein:
In the following detailed description and in the several figures of the drawing, like elements are identified with like reference numerals.
One exemplary embodiment is directed to a bottle cap assembly, configured to fit beverage bottles of different neck dimensions, and to dispense a liquid or solid additive such as a nutritional supplement into the bottle contents. For example, the bottle cap assembly may be configured to fit onto both an Evian™ water bottle of a relatively larger neck size and an Arrowhead™ water bottle with a somewhat smaller neck size. In another embodiment, the bottle cap assembly is configured to fit onto at least three water bottles of different sizes. These exemplary embodiments includes a valve which the user pushes or pulls to release a supplement in powdered or liquid form into the bottle contents, and also remains in place for the user to drink through. The valve also closes and opens to allow the user to seal the bottle or drink from the bottle. Once the bottle contents have been consumed, the bottle cap is typically not re-used, in an exemplary embodiment.
The cap member 60 may be fabricated of a plastic material such as styrene, ABS, Delrin™ or Nylon™, and the finger portions are thin and have some flexibility. The cap member and the length of the finger portions is sized so that the tips of the finger portions may flex outwardly as the cap member is pushed onto the neck 12 of the bottle, and the barb portions engage under the flange 20 extending from the bottle neck. The cap member further includes a circumferential vertical rib 68 extending upwardly from the web portion 64, of a smaller diameter than the diameter of the web portion, to provide an attach feature for attaching structure 80, describe below. In this embodiment, the cap member 60 includes a connection structure for non-threading connection of the cap system to a beverage bottle, by engagement with the bottle flange or collar. In this embodiment, the connection structure includes the finger portions and the barb portions. This type of connection structure does not have to match the threads of the bottle neck, which may vary with different beverage vendors and/or bottle types. The number of finger portions may vary in other embodiments. For example, the fewer and relatively more rigid finger portions may be used. In other embodiments, the connection structure may include finger portions with teeth which engage the threads on bottle neck by sliding over some or all the threads as the cap system is pushed onto the bottle neck, and locking in place without rotationally being threaded onto the threads of the bottle.
The cap system also includes a seal member 70, shown for clarity in
A supplement storage member 80 is configured for attachment to web portion of the cap member, and, as will be described more fully below, defines the outer periphery of a storage volume for a quantity of a supplement in granular, powder or liquid form. The storage member in this embodiment is a generally cup-like member, with a generally cylindrical sidewall portion 82 and a web portion 84 having an opening 86 formed therein. The storage member 80 may be fabricated of a semi-transparent or transparent plastic material such as, by way of example only, styrene, and is configured for attachment to the cap member by snap fit, adhesive, welding or other connection method. For example, the cap 60 top web surface may have a peripheral ridge with groove extending above the web portion 64, which may be engaged in a snap fit by an inwardly extending corresponding feature on the bottom of the wall portion 82.
The dispensing cap system 50 further includes a shuttle valve member 90 having a hollow generally cylindrical wall portion 92, and a top web portion 94 at one end thereof which extends across the end of the wall portion. A bottom flange 92B is formed at the distal end of the wall portion, and has an outer diameter larger than the diameter of the opening in the storage member 80. A tip 96 of reduced diameter relative to the wall portion 92 extends above the surface of the web portion 94. The sidewall of the tip has several ports 96A formed therein, and permit the beverage to pass through from the bottle when the valve is in an open position. The diameter of the wall portion 92 is sized in cooperation with the diameter of the opening 86 in the storage member, so that the cylindrical wall portion tightly fits within the opening in a sliding or even interference fit.
A nipple member 100 is sized to fit over the shuttle valve. The shuttle valve has a range of sliding movement within the storage member, and the nipple has a range of sliding movement on the shuttle valve, such that, when the nipple is in a closed position as in
Still referring to
The seal member 70 includes a center opening 72 through which the bottle contents may pass, and a generally flat upper surface 74. The outer periphery of the seal includes a downwardly extending peripheral wall 76. The lower surface of the seal defines a tapered surface 78 defining a partial conical seal surface which may be contacted by the bottle neck lip when the cap system is attached to the bottle neck. The conical seal surface has sufficient with relative to the bottle opening to seal a range of neck sizes, and also provide some adjustment to differences in the distance between the bottle neck flange and the top of the neck.
An exemplary embodiment of a bottle cap dispensing system may accommodate bottle necks of different dimensions, so that one cap dispensing system can be used with several bottle sizes, e.g. with different neck heights (flange to neck opening), and various bottle neck opening diameters. Exemplary ranges are from 5 mm to 25 mm (neck height range) and 18 mm to 30 mm (diameter range of bottle neck openings). A typical diameter range is from 26.5 mm to 28 mm.
An alternate embodiment of a dispensing cap system 50′ is illustrated in
The embodiment 50′ of
Use of the intermediate barb portions 62B with the tip barb portions 62A enables the bottle cap assembly 50′ to accommodate even more variations in the bottle neck. For bottle necks with relatively smaller distances from the bottle opening surface against which the bottle cap assembly will seal to the bottle neck flange, the intermediate barb portions 62B may engage the flange to hold the cap assembly in place. For other bottle necks with relatively larger flange distances, the barb tip portions may engage the flange to hold the cap assembly in place.
The versatility of the bottle cap assembly 50′ in accommodating bottle necks of different neck opening sizes and flange dimensions is illustrated in the cutaway views of
In the embodiment 50′, the cap member is provided with two barb positions relative to the bottle neck opening 14, i.e. the barb position of tip portion 62A and the barb position of intermediate barb portion 62B. In other embodiments, more than two barb portions positions may be provided, either on each finger portions or at staggered finger portions. This may provide a single bottle cap assembly configuration to accommodate more than two or three different bottle sizes. The bottle sizes are typically determined by a drink manufacturer, say a bottled water purveyor, sports drink purveyor or other drink vendor. Providing flexibility in the dispensing cap assembly to accommodate multiple bottle types provides the advantage of reducing the number of different types of dispensing cap assemblies needed to fit to the multiple bottle types.
Although the foregoing has been a description and illustration of specific embodiments of the subject matter, various modifications and changes thereto can be made by persons skilled in the art without departing from the scope and spirit of the invention.

Goodbye, Debian 8.1
Goodbye, Debian 8.1 (Jesse). I tried the distro for several months because RHEL clones (Springdale Linux and CentOS, both 7.0 and 7.1) didn't like my legacy nVidia GeForce 6150 SE in this old desktop and it was a pain to fix that. The system still is good enough to do all the work I need to do and performs reasonably well. Debian seemed like a reasonable alternative. I chose to install it with LXDE as the desktop environment which is lightweight and ideal for old systems.

The importance of Keywords for the software center
So, what do I want you to do? If you have no existing keywords, I would like you to add some keywords in the desktop file or the AppData file. If you want the keywords to be used by GNOME Shell as well (which you probably do), the best place to put any search terms is in the keywords section of the desktop file. This can also be marked as translatable so non-English users can search in their own language. This would look something like Keywords=3D;printer; (remember the trailing semicolon!)
The Linux Setup - Ikey Doherty, Solus
Ikey is living the dream—he made his own desktop environment. Perhaps even more impressive, he made it for his own distribution! Perhaps most impressive of all, Solus, Ikey's distribution, is built from scratch, meaning it's not based upon another distribution. It's a lot of work, but Ikey doesn't seem to mind it. Ikey also flags git as his essential tool-of-choice. I'm using git to submit chapters for my book and it's a pretty amazing piece of software. It's impacting all kinds of work.

Debian Project mourns the loss of Ian Murdock
The Debian Project sadly announces that it has lost the founder of its community and project, Ian Murdock.
Debian is only a part of Ian's legacy but perhaps the one that he is most known for.
Ian was introduced to computers early in his life, and his curiosity turned to familiarity which led him to start actively programming at nine years of age. Later as a young adult at the Krannert School of Management a mandatory programming class rekindled his fascination with computer programming along with an idea and an opportunity to make something better.
Ian started the Debian Project in August of 1993, releasing the first versions of Debian later that same year. At that time, the whole concept of a "distribution" of Linux was new. Inspired as he said by Linus Torvalds' own sharing of Linux, he released Debian with the intention that this distribution should be made openly, in the spirit of Linux and GNU.

But what is, or are, microservices? The name implies something small – but what? Is it a part of a bigger thing or a piece of discrete functionality? And how are microservices different to application components? And why should we care?

conf.kde.in 2016
Building on the success of conf.kde.in 2014 at Dhirubhai Ambani Institute of Information and Community Technology (DA-IICT) in the land of Gujarat and 2015 at Amritapuri in Kerala, India, the horizon of the KDE Community is broadening and shifting to north India. conf.kde.in 2016 takes place on the 5th and 6th of March at Jaipur in Rajasthan, India. As in previous years of the conference, conf.kde.in 2016 will promote the spirit of free and open source software (FOSS) and offer ideas to build awareness about FOSS culture at the college level, when most technology students have their first experience with Open Source. The emphasis will be on KDE technology and Qt, the popular cross-platform application framework.

More NX & Chrome Books
The most recent end point offering is using a ChromeBook. This is not yet in production, and being tested mostly by me at this point. We purchased a HP 14 inch ChromeBook with 4GB memory for around $250. It boots immediately. After opening the Chrome browser, you just put in the right URL and credentials and after a few seconds the GNOME desktop appears. The experience is then the same as the other platforms and this platform will resume sessions started on other types of devices. This ChromeBook is full 1920x1080 and provides an excellent canvas space for running software.

2015's top five cloud developments and what they mean for 2016
More telling than OpenStack's continued rise is how everyone is adopting open-source operating systems and technologies into the cloud. Nothing demonstrates that more than Microsoft — Microsoft of all companies! — adopting Linux.
Microsoft launched its first Linux-based program, Azure Cloud Switch in 2015. After that, the boys from Redmond started offering Hadoop-on-Azure with Ubuntu Linux as its base. Then, the company added Red Hat Enterprise Linux to its Azure cloud offerings. That was followed up with Debian GNU/Linux being added to a list of supported Linux distributions available on Azure. Finally, and almost unbelievably, Microsoft is now offering a Linux on Azure certification.

The evolution of the open organization
Reading Jim Whitehurst's The Open Organization, you can hear the voice of a leader on a mission. Achieving a well-described personal transformation to become the Red Hat CEO, Whitehurst chronicles his leadership journey of the last few years, increasingly believing that the "open organization model" he encountered (and then further developed with other Red Hatters) has the potential to become a "new management paradigm." The book further argues that reframing leadership as "engaging and catalyzing participative communities both inside and outside" has helped Red Hat better achieve all-important performance imperatives of speed, agility, and innovation, and that the open model could be applicable to other organizations too—enabling them similarly to achieve higher performance. The essays in this volume, plus the growing contributions to the "movement building" website Opensource.com, reflect a high level of enthusiasm and interest among many other practitioners for exploring further the practice of "open organization."

Hence, the existing market cap indicates a preferable measure in comprehending the size of the company rather than its worth.

A Modest Proposal on the DCO
In this post, I discussed why corporations are having trouble regarding the DCO as sufficient for contributions to projects using licences which require patent grants. The fear being that rogue corporations could legitimately claim that under the DCO they were authorizing their developers as agents for copyrights but not for patents. Rather than argue about the legality of this trick, I think it will be much more productive to move the environment forwards to a place where it simply won't work. The key to doing this is to change the expectations of the corporate players which moves them to the point where they expect that a corporate signoff under the DCO gives agency for both patents and copyrights because once this happens for most of them (the good actors), the usual estoppal rules would make it apply to all.
What is good stock portfolio management software on Linux

Interview with SchwarzerAlptraum
I used the basic brushes that came with Krita. I didn't need too many brushes as I paint the textures manually unless they're too small for that. A hard brush and a soft brush for blending are generally all I need for stuff like this. I used alpha inheritance to split the foreground objects from the background objects. It allows me to paint and add lots of coloring and adjustment layers on top of the foreground objects without worrying that it will spill over into the background.

You can search text using the power of regular expressions. You can organize documents side by side. You can use real-time highlighting to find near identifiers in no time. It has support for multiple programming languages, multiple encodings and plugin support.
My experience with WikiToLearn

Liberal Oasis: The Truth About Israelby Joshua Muravchik
- LendMe LendMe™ Learn More
Israel has become the most reviled of states; and the international Leftworld church bodies, British labor unions, American human rights groups and the likehas been especially vociferous in its condemnations. But, ironically, Israel's humane accomplishments in the very realms that the Left most cherishes compare favorably with those of most other countries. This is especially true if Israel is compared with other countries in its region, or with other countries under external duress, or with the other states born after World War Two that have so often stumbled at nation-building. In Liberal Oasis: The Truth About Israel, Joshua Muravchik marshals a wealth of hard data, livened with telling anecdotes, to show that in the achievement of liberty, equality, fraternity, Israel is one of the world's most remarkable and admirable societies.

L.A.-O.C. home prices up 18.8% in April
Los Angeles-Orange County home prices increased 18.8 percent in the 12 months ending in April, the sixth-highest appreciation rate among 20 key U.S. metro areas, the S&P/Case-Shiller Home Price Index shows.
That's the biggest annual percentage gain in seven years. Home prices stopped dropping and began climbing here last July. Prices in the region have climbed steadily for the past 13 months.
Other price indexes showed even greater appreciation rates for April, but those were for Orange County alone.
For example, CoreLogic's Home Price Index recorded a 20.1 percent year-over-year increase in O.C. home prices in April. DataQuick and the California Association of Realtors both reported that Orange County's median price in April – or price at the midpoint of all sales – was up 27 percent.
Despite the price gains, April's index value for the L.A.-O.C. area returned spring 2004 levels. The region's April home price was still 30 percent below the market peak reached in September 2006.
A tight supply of homes for sale and rising demand accounted for the accelerating price gains.
Orange County's April listing inventory was 41 percent below levels from the year before and 68 percent below April 2011, according to Steve Thomas of ReportsOnHousing.com.
L.A.-O.C.'s combined inventory was down 68.5 percent from April 2011, figures from the California Regional Multiple Listing Service show.
Nationwide, Case-Shiller showed prices increasing in all 20 metro areas, with a composite 20-city gain of 12.1 percent. The national gain also is the biggest since March 2006.
San Francisco had the nation's biggest price pop. Home prices there increased 23.9 percent in April.
Las Vegas, Phoenix, Atlanta and Detroit – some of the hardest-hit regions in the housing crash – likewise are having some of the nation's most robust rebounds, with prices up from 19.8 percent to 22.3 percent in April.
"The recovery is definitely broad based," said David M. Blitzer, S&P Dow Jones Indices chairman.

Politics and U.S. Current Events
Posted 6/30/16 at 10:11 AM | Karen Kramer
Possibly the most critical issue in this election is our children's schools. Today's children are inheriting trillions in debt, the least we can do is equip them with the smarts to deal with it.
I've run out of words. It's not exactly writer's block. It's more like writer's fatigue. April through June is my grant-writing season. Think of it like begging, but with convincing paragraphs.
Goal: get money for school kids.
I love our rural school. You couldn't ask for a more pristine setting, or for dedicated teachers with small class sizes. Kindergartners through twelve grade all on one campus—most kids say it's like a family. But we're a relatively poor family.
In grant writer's lingo we're called "underserved". That's a gracious way of saying we have our fair share of poverty and not enough resources to help alleviate some of its consequences. FULL POST

In a nation choking to death on political correctness, it would seem that I should immediately follow the title of this article with an apology. This will never happen in my lifetime.
News releases for today included the call of Pope Francis for us to apologize to gays and Hillary's proclamation that the ruling of the Supreme Court to strike down a Texas abortion law was a solid victory.
Which subject should be covered in today's issue du jour?
It was a choice between the Pope's apostasy in mis-leading 1.2 billion Catholics or the callousness of a presidential candidate who will one day see these words in a panoramic optic of her own life and be asked what they mean.
Jesus' words: "And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me. But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea." (Mt 18: 5-6)
Hillary's words: "a victory for women across America" and "upheld every woman's right to safe, legal abortion, no matter where she lives." FULL POST

In a meeting in New York this week Donald Trump promised evangelical leaders that he would fight for religious freedoms and only appoint Supreme Court judges that supported right to life as opposed to abortionists.
Troy Newman of Operation Rescue was present at the historic meeting and said nothing like it has ever happened before. A list of Trump's promises for the pro-life movement was given at the Operation Rescue website as follows:
1. Appoint pro-life Supreme Court justices, which have been pre-vetted by the conservative Federalist Society and Heritage Foundation.
2. Appoint strong pro-life judges to the Federal Courts.
3. Repeal and replace Obamacare and the abortion mandate that forces the insured to pay for abortions and abortifacient drugs.
4. Actively support and sign into law the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act.
5. Defund America's largest supplier of abortion, Planned Parenthood.
An executive panel was announced and the list is generally very impressive. At the top of the list is Congresswoman and former presidential candidate Michele Bachmann. Another notable, is Dr. James Dobson founder of Focus on the Family and prolific author and speaker. FULL POST

Let's not waste too much time on Hillary Clinton. With firepower minutes away and the clout of the entire State Department behind her, Hillary was unable to save even one of her key subordinates in Benghazi. Let's move on – nothing to see here.
It is not just Benghazi. Hillary's State Department blocked an investigation of the Orlando killer Omar Mateen's mosque for fear of offending Muslims.
Hillary now has the distinction of being the only presidential candidate in history who, while promising to defend America from Jihadists – may have already helped to bring on the worst act of Jihad so far on American soil.
Her record follows her and that alone should produce fear in most Americans.
Hillary accuses Trump of fostering fear and hatred, terms she has little right to use unless you have the wit to see it is only her fear and hatred of Trump that is speaking.
It's not the favorability poll, but the death toll we should be considering for our candidates. It is doubtful that attacks will stop under Hillary Clinton, but radical Jihadist will be put on the defensive from the first minute Donald Trump becomes president. FULL POST

ISIS claimed responsibility for the terrorist attack in Orlando. 50 people were killed and 53 more were wounded. It was the largest mass shooting in our nation's history. This evil must be stopped once and for all.
Families are grieving. People are hurting. Please pray for those hurting and grieving in Orlando. Pray that all will personally know Christ and His comfort.
We think of Psalm 34:18 which says, "The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit."
Billy Graham's ministry is on the ground in Orlando. Read more here: http://billygraham.org/story/pray-for-those-grieving-devastating-loss-after-orlando-shooting/
With each tragedy, prayer suddenly pops up in the news. Hashtags flood the newsfeeds of Twitter and Facebook with one of the latest being #PrayforOrlando. (How we pray and hurt for Orlando!)
In spite of every attack on the Bible, the fastest and most featured response to crisis remains prayer. Loving God and neighbor in deed and truth cannot be replaced by anything else. Period.
When we pray, we work together with those "in person" doing God's work at the crisis scene. The Apostle Paul asked fellow believers to "to strive together with me in your prayers to God on my behalf" (Romans 15:30, ESV). Think about it: We can work with fellow believers who are helping people "in person" by praying. Powerful incentive to pray, isn't it? FULL POST

The viral image catches in my Facebook feed like a chicken bone in my throat. I can't help but stop and clench. A forlorn human, nameless, androgynous, casts weary eyes at the camera, begging me to take seriously the words on the sign she holds: "MY GENITALS DO NOT DEFINE MY GENDER."
I almost laugh when I see it. This sincere but misbegotten crime against language is its own best parody. Attempts to mock it with a rejoinder such as "my years of existence do not define my age" seem tame by comparison. Surely, my inner voice assures me, anyone who has ever watched a nature documentary, taken health class or spoken the English language knows that genitals are pretty much the centerpiece of what is meant by male and female.
Or at least, everyone knew this fact until last Tuesday at tea with Alice and the Mad Hatter, when the fickle zeitgeist of the 21st century suddenly and explosively shed objective gender. While the candles of our happy unbirthdays burned, our ruling class tore down the wall between the men's room and women's room and decreed that the privacy we had assumed was civilization's sacred duty to the fairer sex was now an act of rebellion. What was once just the plain simple view of things has been discarded with a slur: binary-gendered. And those who were once just men and women have been given a pejorative—cisgendered—on par with the shame-inducing labels "white privilege" and "man's world." FULL POST

The Obama Administration appointed a new liaison to the Muslim-American community who has ties to the Muslim Brotherhood, a transnational Sunni Islamist organization founded in Egypt.
The Muslim Brotherhood is labeled a terrorist organization by six countries, but not the United States.
The official hired by the White House, Zaki Barzinji, 27, is the former president of the Muslim Youth of North America, which is the youth wing of the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA), according to The Clarion Project.
The ISNA is a Muslim Brotherhood entity that was labeled an unindicted co-conspirator in a Hamas-financing trial.
Barzinji is also the grandson of a Muslim Brotherhood terror suspect, Jamal Barzinji, who died last year.
"Jamal Barzinji was a founder and/or senior official in virtually every group identified as a Muslim Brotherhood front in America. He also frequently donated to political campaigns. He was nearly prosecuted, but the Obama Justice Department dropped the planned indictment," noted Ryan Mauro, a national security analyst with The Clarion Project. FULL POST

Men have buried themselves in a generation long use of the language of modern psychiatry. The idea of a man being mis-led deceived or possessed by a demon or devil seems arcane to the modern mind.
Jesus was explicit and made a careful and concise distinction between mental illness and demon possession.
"And his fame went throughout all Syria: and they brought unto him all sick people that were taken with divers diseases and torments, and those which were possessed with devils, and those which were lunatic, and those that had the palsy; and he healed them." (Mt 4: 24)
Liberalism scoffs at the idea of a man under the control of a devil, and yet, God's word says that it is not just one man or a few that are under the sway of demons, but entire nations.
Twenty centuries have passed as the gospel is still being preached to all men; within the tenets of the gospel is a promise that by receiving Christ we can rid ourselves of all demonic influence. It is not the path men will choose, they will continue down the broad path until nearly all of them follow the old serpent into the battle of Armageddon.
At Christ's return he deals with the deceiver directly – to wit. FULL POST

When my grandson expressed concern about the election, I realized he was older than his years. What kind of America will he inherit?
Dear O,
I've always been impressed with how smart you are—okay, you're my grandson so I may be biased, but I was genuinely surprised with your interest in this presidential election.
When I was your age politics and TV news seemed boring—so when you asked thoughtful questions about Bernie Sanders, Hillary Clinton and you even knew about Donald Trump, I was really astounded.
I wish you weren't inheriting a debt-ridden nation from me and my generation. We haven't done a good job stewarding our nation's resources or making good choices in how we spent our money.
We haven't solved the hardest problems, but it's not because we didn't have smart leaders. We just couldn't work together. We even failed in helping the poor not be poor anymore. When I was a child our president started the War on Poverty. We're still fighting that war and have spent 11 trillion dollars failing to win it. FULL POST

Oh, to be child in elementary school these days. Learning to be equipped to handle life is far more inclusive than just reading, writing, and arithmetic. Understanding gender begins in Kindergarten.
And each grade level incrementally increases understanding. Students are learning how to express gender identity. But have no fear, by fourth grade nine year olds can define sexual orientation. By fifth grade they learn how media influences them and are guided in seeking out "trusted adults" to help with their own questions about personal identity.
When students head to middle school they'll understand how people sense their own gender and the how they should act based on how they feel based on their "assigned biological sex".
This sexual health curriculum has been approved for Washington State's elementary public schools. And there is plenty of outrage that school officials would seek to "educate" students on gender. FULL POST
