Christchurch homeowners could now be waiting until 2017 before their earthquake-damaged homes are rebuilt.
Quarterly insurance figures compiled by the Canterbury Earthquake Recovery Authority show a significant increase in the pace of rebuilds and major repairs between April and June - 522 compared to 187 in the three months prior.
Insurance Council of New Zealand chief executive Tim Grafton said 2014 looked set to be a "watershed year" for Canterbury quake claims, but conceded more complex cases would not be finalised until 2017, despite an earlier hope that the programme would be completed by the end of 2016.
Mt Pleasant homeowner Susannah Washington said her rebuild had been confirmed in November 2011, but ground was still to be broken on site.
Her now-demolished home was left uninhabitable in the February 2011 quake and the family had since moved nine times - soon to be 10 because their rental was on the market.
Washington said she was on stress leave from her job and her young children had "really suffered".
Having to top up their government-subsidised rent while still paying their mortgage was taking a financial toll, she said.
Southern Response's website appeared to suggest its settlement target had blown out to the end of 2017 and beyond, but a spokeswoman said it referred to the 2017 financial year only.
The insurer was on target to settle more than 90 per cent of its claims by December 2016, she said.
"Given the scale and complexity of the building programme for the Canterbury rebuild, we have always given what we believe to be conservative timelines to allow for the likelihood of new challenges emerging for a small number of more complicated claims," she said.
A spokeswoman for IAG said it was committed to a December 2015 target, and hoped to have all claims completed by mid-2016.
Insurance commentator Cam Preston said the majority of completed claims were cash settlements and most of those straightforward red-zone payouts.
Progress was "very slow" if those were removed from the statistics and very few were on the most-damaged Technical Category-3 land, he said.
"It's 2200 [rebuilds and major repairs] after almost four years.
"[The insurance industry] will argue it's only one or two years . . . but the point is that 2200 out of the 10,000 that they do rebuild or repair is only 20 per cent, so how can they possibly be saying they're totally confident of the 2016 deadline?"
Grafton said the "vast majority" of claims would be completed by the end of 2016.
"I'd be very surprised if those last few couldn't be mopped up quite quickly," he said.
Grafton expected the pace of rebuilds and major repairs to increase further, with 8110 either under construction, in consenting or under contract.
"If we were to go through to 600 to 700 a quarter, that is going to look very encouraging."
He rejected Preston's view the red-zone cash payouts inflated the settlement figures.
"All that says it should be a quick settlement . . . and it was."
Grafton was unsure of the technical category breakdown in the figures, but said there had been delays on TC-3 land because of flood-prone issues, and Earthquake Commission land settlements and remediation.
Legal action, multi-unit buildings and Port Hills land issues were also contributing to delays, Grafton said.
June 2014: Over-cap claims settled: 11,392 (9875 in March)
Rebuilds/major repairs completed: 2203 (1681 in March)
Cash settlements: 9189 (8194 in March)
Over-cap claims remaining: 11,347 (12,631 in March)
Undecided or no offer made: 2387 (2876 in March)

The Heart Test
Rebel's Heart
The Rebel's Heart
Independent, Idealistic, Intimate, Explicit
You are the most individualistic of hearts, the Rebel's Heart. You are certainly an independent and speak your mind, being unafraid and often enjoying confrontation. You like to go against the grain of society. Inside, though, you are an idealist and an intimate person who believes in true love and finding that special someone to capture your singular heart. You don't need love, as you are happy on the open road, but you do want it, and won't settle for just anyone.
Matches for the Rebel's Heart:
The Heart on Sleeve The Heart on Sleeve believes in the same ideals of love as you, and isn't afraid to express them, however, they are more dependent on love than you. This is find for you, as you want someone who truly cares for you and shows it, but you will have to accept their need for love and learn to value it if this relationship will work, but by your idealistic and intimate nature, this shouldn't be much of a problem.
The Reclusive Heart The Reclusive Heart believes in your ideals of love and cherishes harmony in a relationship, something you can appreciate. Like you, the Recluse is independent, and you won't have to worry about hurting them by doing your own thing, but they are also more realistic. You can appreciate their down-to-earth nature, though, as they also value intimacy and love, and will come to appreciate their uniqueness, which you can relate to.
Your exact opposite is Patron Saint's Heart.
You may want to avoid Dependents, as their need for love can annoy you, unless they share your other values. You might also want to Passionates, as their fiery nature might not sit well with you, although with your independent nature this might not be so difficult to appreciate.

You have searched for Orange Judd
- Now, orange triangles to warn motorists of nearing potholes
Slipping into a pothole with a jolt is something most commuters are familiar with. While authorities pass the buck on filling these deathtraps, a social entrepreneur based in Kochi has formed a group titled 'Orange Alert' with an aim to warn motorists about them.
- New policy for orange crop in making
Nagpur: An integrated policy for orange crop, which will take care of all aspects like yield improvement, better water usage and marketing campaign to promote Nagpur Orange, is in the making. A study group for establishing orange processing and industry discussed it at a meeting here on Tuesday. State agriculture commissioner VV Deshmukh, who presided over the meeting held at Vanamati complex, expressed concern over the alarming decline in yields as well as quality of the fruit in last few years. He noted that though orange is grown in around 1 lakh hectares in Vidarbha, these days orchard owners were earning barely enough to cover costs because of poor marketing avenues and crop management. The Ambia Bahar crop in October-December and Mrig Bahar in February-March floods the market, and oversupply leads to distress selling. Director of horticulture SS Adsud, state horticulture and medicinal plants board director SL Jadhav, joint director of agriculture of Amravati division SR Sardar, VED president Devendra Parekh, Morshi MLA Dr Anil Bonde and Katol MLA Ashish Deshmukh expressed their views during the meet. Dr Bonde pointed out that new research and technology with proven results was yet to find its way to the orchards in the region. He sought integration of the latest technology in the new policy for good results in all pre and post harvest processes. He further said the new drip irrigation system being recommended has double lateral flow but the government subsidy provides for single line drip, so farmers are denied the new technology. Similarly, the new orange varieties show good growth in spacing of 10ft but the government schemes impose condition of 20ft. He also sought government intervention and support since the exports to Bangladesh are hit by import duty imposed by the neighbouring country. Dr Bonde stressed on promotion of Nagpur orange as a healthy fruit that increases immune system, by promoting juice parlours aggressively. Deshmukh sought better cold storage facilities and railway connectivity for transporting oranges to Delhi. NEW ORANGE POLICY IN NUTSHELL * Oranges grown in 1 lakh hectares in Vidarbha, but farmers suffer because of poor pricing and marketing * New policy to integrate latest technology, disease-resistant plant varieties, efficient water management and post-harvest processes * Aggressive campaign to be designed to promote orange juice as health drink * Marketing to get more attention and bottlenecks in exports to be tackled
- Orangers crash to another defeat
After three sets that went into the tiebreaker, it all boiled down to the last tie of the day, the men's singles. Both Feliciano Lopez and Ivo Karlovic matched each other shot to shot. The first seven games went with the serve and Lopez was leading 4-3. Karlovic sent down five aces to win the game 40-0 take the set to tiebreaker.
- Aamir walks Satyamev Jayate talk in Orange belt
Nagpur: As Aamir Khan dug the ground for percolation tank at Wathoda village, about 100 kms from city in Warud taluka of Amravati district, the locals were ready. With cell phones in one hand for a selfie opportunity, they joined the star in digging work. Khan passed on pails of soil he dug from inside protective ring of his bodyguards and a long queue of volunteers of all ages, including government servants, relayed it further ahead. This was a part of a shram daan (labour contribution) event under the Satyamev Jayate Water Cup contest organized by Khan's NGO, Paani Foundation, to promote water conservation. Around 500 villagers gathered to participate in the exercise vying to get in the limelight with the actor. Some police women were also seen aiming at Khan with their smartphones. Marathi actors Sai Tamhankar, Reema Lagoo and Sunil Barve were part of the show too. The village that puts in best efforts in water conservation will bag the Water Cup. The works are being done through voluntary contribution and the campaign is being supported by the state government. With three talukas at present Khan plans to cover 300 villages under the plan eventually. The star's presence may have lit up the mood at Wathoda in the orange growing belt but the area faces a dark future if people indeed do not rise to the occasion, said the government officials taking part in the event. Warud taluka has been in grey zone since 2006. This means the groundwater table has sunk beyond the danger levels and no borewells can be dug here. There is no drinking water crisis as yet, but one cannot be complacent. The officials led by the collector Kiran Gitthe, as well as members of the Paani Foundation, hinted that orange orchards may turn out to be what the sugarcane fields have become for the drought hit Marathwada even though Vidarbha gets much higher rainfall. Like sugarcane even the orange trees are water guzzlers and need to be irrigated throughout the year. A majority of the farmers use flood irrigation method that has water directly gushing into the orchards. In Warud, hardly 5% of land is estimated to be under drip irrigation, said district administration officials present at the event. Satyajit Bhatkal, director of Satyamev Jayate, said "It is time water conservation works are taken up here, otherwise Warud may end up being another Latur." "Flood irrigation pushes huge amount of water while drip goes straight to the roots. Our team has trained 800 villagers in the state in water conservation," he said, adding, "The contest at present covers three talukas. These are Koregaon in Western Maharashtra, Ambejogai of Marathwada and Warud of Vidarbha." Collector Gitthe said that the district administration has submitted a plan for covering the entire district under drip irrigation. "The people are also taking it seriously. It is not just because of Aamir Khan that they have gathered here. Works began in various villages of the taluka since April 20 and the locals regularly work at the site for three hours a day," said Pramod Bhusari, the tehsildar. Even teams from our department take part in the shram daan on a daily basis. At Wathoda, walls of a small pond were strengthened in mere three hours and a majority of the workforce was of women. Had it been left to the government it would have begun with calling of tenders , he said. ends

Madison Logic has been collecting behavioral data on executives who download business white papers for some time. Now the company wants to help B2B clients like AT&T, IBM, and Cisco put the data to use for online ad targeting and marketing automation.
When someone downloads a white paper on security products, for instance, it indicates she is in the market to buy them. In addition to collecting behavioral data through paper downloads, the company also gathers it through partners who run business conferences and sell Madison Logic conference registration data and other information. The system can surface contacts at particular companies who have expressed an interest in specific topics.
While behavioral advertising is common in consumer-aimed marketing, B2B marketers often use registration data they've gathered to send follow-up emails or contact execs in ways other than online ads. Madison Logic matches in-market exec email addresses against cookie data to determine online audiences who are ripe for ad targeting with business messages.
Consumer-aimed retargeting is "a little more simple because there's an active cookie on the user," suggested Erik Matlick, CEO of Madison Logic. "The difference with b-to-b is leads are coming in from third parties [so advertisers and ad firms] can't drop cookies on them because the user hasn't visited the [advertiser's] site."
"We're basically putting all of this in a media package," said Matlick. "Instead of buying leads…why don't we send them a display ad 15 minutes after they've download a white paper?" he continued.
He also suggested that privacy issues aren't contentious in B2B because users who download papers and other resources, or sign up for conferences have agreed to terms and conditions that allow for data selling and ad targeting.
A new interface lets customers log in and see potential contacts, or lets them automatically stream the in-market contacts into their marketing platforms such as Eloqua and Marketo.
Madison Logic can retarget ads to in-market execs via ad exchanges and DSPs. According to Matlick, the company has clients in the technology, marketing, human resources, business finance, energy, legal, health, and construction industries. The firm has 23 million unique profiles in its database of B2B contacts and works with around 600 advertisers, according to Matlick.
ClickZ is a Madison Logic customer.

Hedge fund Fir Tree Partners has raised more than $600 million for its second real-estate private equity fund, more than $100 million in excess of its original target.
The $7 billion New York-based firm announced that its Real Estate Opportunity Fund II garnered $628 million before it closed. Fir Tree had initially sought $500 million for the fund, which was launched a year-and-a-half ago, two years after the firm launched its first real estate fund.
Fir Tree has already invested some 90% of the second fund in commercial and residential real-estate, including equity, senior loans and mezzanine investments.

Carnival Triumph Cruise Review by Mary Magan: Carnival Triumph - Western Caribbean
Overall Member Rating
Carnival Triumph - Western Caribbean
Destination: Western Caribbean
Embarkation: Miami
I just returned from the Triumph on 5/20/06. This was my 1st cruise & won't be my last. I was absolutely thrilled with the cruise. I don't know how anyone could complain or expect more when every morning someone shows up at the time you requested with a smile, a nice greeting, coffee, juice, fruit & danish/bagel.
The room steward (Litto) was excellent, room was always cleaned every time we left & returned, bed turned down at night with a cute little towel animal & chocolate left for us to enjoy. He also kept our ice bucket full all the time.
We had cabin 7207 on the Empress deck, it was the most forward balcony cabin you can get. We were right under the bridge on the starboard side of the ship, I did not feel any more motion there than any other place I was on board. However, the balcony did not get much sun due to the bridge over it. that was fine with me, I am not a sun worshipper. The room had plenty of closet & drawer space for all of our More things. The bathroom was a nice size & the shower always had HOT water.
We had the early dinner seating in the London dining room & our waiter Harry & his assistant Ronald were great. They always were attentive & upbeat. The food (the choices I made) was very good in the dining room. As for the buffet, the food was as good as can be expected for steam table food. The lines for the buffet were usually a little long in the beginning, but if you waited for a while, they were not as long. You know it is like anywhere you go that there is a buffet, the mad rush in the beginning & then not so crowded.
The pizza was not what you would get at home from your local pizza shop (I live in Philly), but it was very good & served 24 hours as was the soft serve ice cream & yogurt. The Asian Noodle Bar & New York Deli were both excellent. The meat on the sandwiches was always very fresh & lean, and if you like Ruben's, you must have one it was great. The oriental food is not your local taste, but very good.
The drink of the day was always very tasty & remember, if you buy the 1st one in the souvenir glass it is $6.95, but you get the glass refilled for $5.95 or buy one in a regular glass for $3.95. Oh, and if you have the BAR COUPONS they will take them for the refill price & they never added anything to my S & S card for the difference.
The shows that I saw were good, the magic show by Kevin & Caruso was EXCELLENT ! I did not get to go to all of them but heard from others they were also very good. The ship has plenty to do if you chose to do so, but we did not get to do everything so I can't comment on all the activities.
As for shore tours, we did only 1 through Carnival in Grand Cayman. We did not get to go because the authorities in port would not let us tender due to rough seas. Carnival returned our fees as ship board credit & gave us $25 each as a credit also for the inconvenience, which I thought was nice since it was not even Carnival's fault that we could not tender. We did however DOCK in Cozumel and were the only ship in port that day. We also docked in Jamaica. They were both nice to visit but VERY HOT, so make sure to take water with you. We are not water sport people so we just got a van & driver at both piers and had them take us on a tour of the island for about 3 to 4 hours. The cost was $25 each person & the drivers were both very good.
If you have any questions feel free to ask & I will answer them the best I can. Overall, I absolutely loved the cruise & the Triumph was great, I would sail on it again in a heartbeat! Oh, there is a wonderful waitress in the bar on the 3rd floor named Kanitta, if you see her, tell her Richard, Edward, Mary Kay & Jodi say hello. Less

BETHESDA, Md., Aug. 5, 2014 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG) announced that the Thomson Reuters Impact Factor Journal Citation Reports has just increased the impact factor of the ACMG's peer-reviewed medical genetics and genomics journal, Genetics in Medicine (GIM) to 6.435 in 2013 up from 5.56 in 2012. GIM is currently ranked 17th of 164 titles in Genetics & Heredity category and in the very top echelon of genetic journals that have a primarily clinical focus. A journal's Impact Factor is an objective measure of the world's leading journals based on articles' cited references and is oft considered a measure of a journal's overall successful performance and relevance to its field.
"We're delighted with our impact factor having jumped once again. We are gratified that Genetics in Medicine has gained further prominence and we hope it reflects progress towards our goal of being the 'go to' journal for all those involved in any facet of clinical genetics and genomics," said GIM's Editor-in-Chief Jim Evans, MD, PhD, FACMG.
"The Impact Factor is just one measure of a journal's value but this gratifying rise in GIM's impact is a testament to our editorial board members, who carefully consider each submission to find those of greatest importance to our field. The rising impact factor of Genetics in Medicine is also a pleasing reflection of the growing importance of genetics and genomics in patient care more broadly," added Evans.
Gail Herman, MD, PhD, FACMG and president of the ACMG said, "This is a very rewarding and dramatic rise in our Impact Factor. As a leading academic journal and as the official journal of the ACMG, we know that GIM will continue to play a critical role in setting the standard for the practice of medicine whenever it involves genetic and genomic issues."
Genetics in Medicine is published by Nature Publishing Group (www.nature.com/gim)

The present invention relates to thermoplastic films that are based on ethylene copolymers. The films are capable of being sealed at a high rate of speed by high-frequency current.
In the packaging industry there is an increasing demand for thermoplastic films exhibiting especially excellent mechanical properties, a low friction coefficient, a pleasant feel, and an excellent sealing behaviour.
With regard to the sealing of thermoplastic films, it is recognized that in the case of films of thickness greater than 100 microns, the behaviour of the seals produced by a high-frequency current is superior to the behaviour of the seals produced thermally. However, the sealing times using high-frequency current are generally high (2 to 3 seconds, even longer), and this is nowadays unacceptable in the modern packaging industry, where packaging rates are increasingly fast. In the sector now being considered it is agreed nowadays that a sealing time is short when it does not exceed one second.
International Patent Application WO 92/16358 describes a sealing process using high-frequency current--which will be referred to as HF sealing in what follows--of at least two thermoplastic films which include a copolymer or a copolymer-polymer mixture chosen from the group consisting of an ethylene/vinyl acetate (EVA) copolymer, a mixture of EVA and of a polyethylene, a mixture of EVA and of a polypropylene, or a mixture of EVA, polyethylene, and polypropylene. In these mixtures, or else in the case of the use of an EVA by itself, the vinyl acetate weight content is between 12% and 28%.
The process described in this international application consists in: pressing at least two thermoplastic layers, applying an HF current to the said pressed layers with a view to sealing them together, and recovering the said sealed layers.
Although this procedure gives full satisfaction insofar as the quality of the seal and the mechanical properties of the sealed films are concerned, no information is given in this international application concerning sealing rates and products which would be capable of being obtained at such rates.
Numerous investigations into the rates of HF sealing together of at least two thermoplastic films based on ethylene copolymer indicate that to obtain sealing times lower than or at most equal to one second, it was necessary to increase the energy per unit area of the electrode permitting the HF sealing. It was found, however, that, in the case of high energies, the HF sealing times were actually very short, but that flashes were produced which resulted in the deterioration of the films (tears, holes, high colouring). These flashes, consequently, restricted the energies employed.
It was also found that high comonomer contents in the ethylene copolymers allowed very short HF sealing times. Unfortunately, products with high comonomer contents are difficult to extrude because they are much too sticky, and this is unacceptable on modern packaging machines.
The present invention provides a thermoplastic film that is capable of being sealed by a high-frequency current. The film comprises at least one ethylene copolymer and an amount, of at least one N,N'-ethylene-bisamide of the formula [Cn H2n�1 --C(O)--NH--CH2 ]2 wherein n is an integer ranging from 17 to 21, sufficient to enable said film to obtain a high-frequency sealing time not exceeding one second. The film may further comprise fatty acid primary amides, silica, and/or talc as antiblocking additives.
The N,N'-ethylene-bisamide is preferably present in an amount sufficient to enable said film to obtain a high-frequency sealing time between 0.2 and 0.5 seconds. Often, the N,N'-ethylene-bisamide will be present in an amount not exceeding 0.6% of the weight of the film. It is preferably present in an amount of between 0.3% and 0.5% of the weight of the film.
The ethylene copolymer is (i) a copolymer of ethylene and of at least one vinyl ester of saturated carboxylic acid containing 2 to 6 carbon atoms, (ii) a copolymer of ethylene and of at least one alkyl acrylate or methacrylate in which the alkyl group contains from 1 to 10 carbon atoms, (iii) the above copolymers further copolymerized with maleic anhydride or glycidyl (meth)acrylate, or (iv) the mixtures of at least two of the above mentioned copolymers.
This invention also comprises packages made of thermoplastic film as described above, wherein the packages have at least one seam formed by sealing a first linear area of said film to a second linear area of said film with high-frequency current. The terminology "linear area of said film" refers to that part of the surface of a thermoplastic film which is fused by the high-frequency current and which, together with another such linear area, mixes and then cools to form a seam of thermoplastic material joining two or more films. In one embodiment, packages according to the present invention are made of multilayer-film including at least one layer of thermoplastic film as described above. These packages have at least one seam formed by high-frequency current sealing a first linear area of the layer of the multilayer film that corresponds to the present invention to a second linear area of a film corresponding to the present invention making up part of a multilayer structure. When a package is made in accordance with the present invention, a single sheet of thermoplastic mono- or multilayer film in accordance with the present invention may be joined to itself, forming an enclosed volume, or two or more such sheets may be joined together, forming multiplanar lamina.
Finally, the present invention contemplates a process for forming a seam comprising superposing a first linear area of a thermoplastic film as described above over a second linear area of the same or a separate thermoplastic film in accordance with the present invention. The two films are situated between a plate and an electrode of a sealing press, pressure is applied to the superposed linear areas of film, a current at a frequency of about 27.12 MHz for a sealing time not exceeding one second is discharged between said plate and said electrode, and the sealed films are then cooled.
The present invention relates to a thermoplastic film including at least one ethylene copolymer, which film is capable of being sealed by a high-frequency current. The film is characterized by its inclusion of a sufficient quantity of at least one N,N'-ethylenebisamide in order to obtain a high-frequency sealing time not exceeding 1 second. The films thus sealed are especially useful for packaging.
By way of illustration of N,N'-ethylenebisamide usable according to the present invention there will be mentioned N,N'-ethylenebisstearamide, N,N'-ethylenebisoleamide, N,N'-ethylenebisgadoleamide, N,N'-ethylenebiscetoleamide, N,N'-ethylenebiserucamide, and the mixture of at least two abovementioned N,N'-ethylenebisamides. Among the N,N'-ethylenebisamides N,N'-ethylenebisoleamide, referred to hereinafter as EBO, is currently most preferred.
Among the ethylene copolymers which can enter within the constitution of the thermoplastic film according to the invention there may be mentioned especially the polar copolymers of ethylene which have a comonomer content of at least approximately 0.09 mol per 100 g of copolymer, such as:
copolymers of ethylene and of at least one vinyl ester of saturated carboxylic acid containing 2 to 6 carbon atoms, such as vinyl acetate or vinyl propionate;
copolymers of ethylene and of at least one alkyl acrylate or methacrylate in which the alkyl group contains from 1 to 10 carbon atoms, such as ethylene/methyl acrylate copolymers or ethylene/butyl acrylate copolymers;
the above copolymers, also with maleic anhydride or glycidyl (meth)acrylate;
mixtures of at least two of the abovementioned copolymers.
The film of the invention may also contain polyethylene or copolymers of ethylene and of an alphaolefin.
Among these ethylene copolymers currently most preferred are the thermoplastic films including at least one ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer which has a vinyl acetate weight content not exceeding 40% and preferably between 12% and 28%.
The sealing time--lower than or at most equal to one second--of the thermoplastic film based on ethylene copolymer can be obtained by means of the use of a weight content of N,N'-ethylenebisamide not exceeding 0.6% and preferably between 0.3% and 0.5% relative to the thermoplastic film.
According to an alternative form of the invention the thermoplastic film additionally includes an antiblocking additive chosen from the group consisting of fatty acid primary amides, silica, talc, and a mixture of at least two of the abovementioned compounds.
By way of illustration of a primary amide of a saturated fatty acid it is possible to mention erucamide, oleamide, stearamide, palmitamide and the mixture of at least two of the abovementioned compounds. Among these fatty acid primary amides it is preferred to employ erucamide.
These antiblocking additives can be employed in proportions not exceeding approximately 2% by weight relative to the thermoplastic film.
The thermoplastic film based on ethylene copolymer may also contain at least one additive which is usual in ethylene copolymers, such as:
slip-improving additives such as, for example, a metal fatty acid salt (e.g., zinc stearate),
antioxidants, for example a sterically hindered phenol, a mercaptan, or a phosphite,
absorbers of ultraviolet radiation, such as substituted benzophenones, substituted phenylbenzotriazoles, and sterically hindered amines,
flame suppressors such as nickel complexes, and
inorganic or organic pigments such as zinc oxide or titanium oxide.
According to the present invention the abovementioned primary amides of a saturated fatty acid and the additives must be employed in quantities such that they do not impair the speed of sealability of the thermoplastic films.
The thermoplastic film according to the present invention can be obtained especially by extrusion, by extrusion blowing or by the technology known as "casting" of a composition prepared by any means enabling the N,N'-ethylenebisamide and, optionally, the antiblocking agent and the other additive(s) to be dispersed in the ethylene copolymer.
To obtain good reproducibility insofar as the seals are concerned, the additives must be thoroughly dispersed in the elthylene copolymer. Heterogeneities in the dispersion of additives would result in a poor quality of the seals at a high rate.
The thickness of the thermoplastic film according to the present invention may vary widely. It may generally be not more than 500 microns and preferably between 50 and 300 microns.
According to the present invention at least two thermoplastic films based on ethylene copolymer, preferably two EVA films, will be sealed. The present invention also relates to packaging including the film of the invention which has been sealed to itself by HF.
However, improved permeabilities to gases and/or water vapour are often sought after in food packaging. They are generally obtained by the technique known as coextrusion. This technique consists especially in coextruding at least two layers of polymer exhibiting, respectively, the required properties.
The present invention also relates to packagings which are multilayer films including at least one layer of the film of the invention on one of the faces (i) and which are HF-sealed after this face (i) has been placed in contact with itself.
By way of illustration of such multilayer composites it is possible to cite the EVA/PE/EVA and EVA/PP/EVA trilaminates and the multilaminates such as EVA/binder/EVOH/binder/EVA and EVA/binder/PA/binder/EVA, in which EVA denotes the ethylene/vinyl acetate copolymers, PE and PP denote polyethylene and polypropylene, respectively, and EVOH denotes ethylene/vinyl alcohol copolymers.
According to an alternative form of the invention, these complexes, including at least one ethylene copolymer-based layer according to the present invention, especially EVA-based, can be sealed to each other by an HF current at high rates, that is to say with sealing times not longer than a second.
Sealing of the thermoplastic films according to the present invention can be performed by a known method which consists in bringing at least two thermoplastic films (or composites based on ethylene copolymer according to the present invention) between the plates, optionally preheated, of an HF sealing press, in applying a pressure which is a function of the thickness of the films to be sealed and then, after the oscillating circuit has been tuned to obtain maximum energy, a current at a frequency of 27.12 mHz is applied to the layers which are kept under pressure.
This current is maintained for a period known as sealing time--which does not exceed 1 second--and then cooling is optionally applied before the sealed films are recovered.
The tensile strength is determined according to NFT standard 54120 on the films obtained.
The films according to the present invention offer the advantage of having a high tensile strength even with very short sealing times--approximately 0.2 seconds.
These films are employed especially for the packaging of cleaning products.
The following examples illustrate the invention.
The films were obtained from compositions prepared from the following constituents:
EVA: ethylene/vinyl acetate copolymer containing 24% by weight of vinyl acetate and exhibiting a melt index of 3 g/10 min measured according to ASTM standard D 1238 at 190� C. under a 2.16 kg load,
N,N'-ethylenebisoleamide (EBO), introduced in the form of a master batch containing 6% of EBO in the abovementioned EVA,
TiO2 introduced in the form of a master batch in a ratio of 70% of TiO2 in a polyethylene,
SiO2 introduced in the form of a master batch in a ratio of 50% of SiO2 in a polyethylene,
Erucamide (Eru.) introduced in the form of a master batch containing 5% of erucamide in a polyethylene,
Stearamide (Ste.) introduced in the form of a master batch containing 5% of stearamide in a polyethylene.
EVA granules and the various constituents (in the form of master batches) are blended dry in a Flobin-type mixer for 15 minutes according to weight percentages as shown in Table 1.
The mixture thus obtained is fed to a Buss Kok-neader fitted with a single screw of 88 mm diameter and with an L/D equal to 21 and with a cavity transfer mixer-type mixing head which has 8 rows of holes. The screw speed is 100 revolutions per min and the extrusion temperature is between 170� and 205� C.
The product is next extruded in film form using the technique known as "casting" according to conditions usually employed for an EVA resin.
The EVA films have a thickness of 220 microns.
A Thimonnier model M31-BS 22 HF sealing press is employed, equipped with an HF generator of 2 kW power, controllable by an electronic timer, a manual device for adjusting HF, comprising 5 positions which correspond to the powers of 0.4 kW, 0.8 kW, 1.2 kW, 1.6 kW and 2 kW respectively, and a compressed air supply enabling pressure of at least 2�105 Pa to be obtained.
The electrode area is 10.25 cm2.
The films to be sealed are brought between the plate and the electrode of the press, a pressure is applied and then, after the position of the manual device has been chosen in order to obtain a given power, a current at a frequency of 27.12 MHz is applied and maintained for a period, known as sealing time, which ranges from 0.2 to 1 second.
The sealed films are cooled and the tensile strength is then determined according to NFT standard 54120 (pulling speed equal to 100 mm/min).
The results obtained on the seal of two EVA films of 220 microns thickness are reported in Table 1.
Table 2 relates to the results of sealing of a trilaminate composite EVA/PE/EVA, the respective thicknesses of which are 80 μm/40 μm/80 μm. The composition of the EVA layer is identical with that of Example 3 in Table 1. The PE is a low-density linear polyethylene.

Tim Hunt[edit]
Hi. I'm looking for some help re the Tim Hunt page. It seems you don't have emails enabled. Is this the best place to ask?
Danwadd (talk) 13:41, 14 March 2016 (UTC)
- the absolute best advice I can give you Dan is to steer well clear of directly editing the Tim Hunt article. I'm fully aware of the changes you would like to make on it, but I would say your plan is based on a fairly fundamental misunderstanding of how wikipedia works. Wikipedia articles should briefly summarise independent published reliable sources such as national broadsheet newspapers and peer reviewed academic journals. original research such as looking at primary unpublished sources such as blogs and twitter and statements from involved individuals is outside the scope of wikipedia and specifically excluded. Trying to use wikipedia to uncover the truth or promote one perspective isn't why it exists. Individuals who have a conflict of interest should be very wary of attempting to edit wikipedia, and there are specific provisions in wikipedias terms of use concerning this. That said, if you have specific recommendations to change the article then the article talk page is the best place to make that proposal and have it discussed by other less involved editors (click Talk at the top of the Tim hunt article to access that). It is worth reiterating that content will only be considered that adopts a neutral point of view and is based on independent reliable secondary sources. I hope this makes sense, happy to answer any questions you might have.--ℕ ℱ 17:38, 14 March 2016 (UTC)
- thanks and I understand that. Believe me, the very last thing I want or need is to become involved. Neither do I have a 'plan,' nor am I trying to promote one perspective. But there is a lack of balance and a number of errors in there, which I'll bring up on the talk page, but even that is likely to attract some, er, attention. I take your point about 'independent reliable sources' but in this case there was a failure of some of those cited publications to produce reliable information. Is that to be included, even when it can be proven to be wrong, simply because it appeared in a national newspaper? Also, if it's the case that blogs from 'involved individuals' etc should not be cited, then why is Unfashionista? As you'll see on the talk page, Jimmy Wales has suggested that our article might be worth considering (independently of me, I add). At the moment it's quite a long way off the neutrality Wiki strives for. Surely the aim here is to give people a balanced view of the episode? Currently, it doesn't (and people will say 'You would say that,' but I'm by no means alone in that belief...).Danwadd (talk) 23:10, 14 March 2016 (UTC)
- As hard as it may be to believe, it is the case I'm afraid that if all reliable sources are "wrong" then wikipedia will reflect that "wrongness", see WP:NOTTRUTH. Time and time again people come to wikipedia trying to 'prove' the mainstream media has got it all wrong - it tends not to be a productive means of engagement. Jimbo has made no such comment about the article - he clearly is washing his hands of the substantive issues here, and claims not to have read the article you wrote and was recommended to him by a, as yet, unnamed individual. The Tim Hunt article as it stands is pleasing neither to you nor to those on the other side of the argument. That is a good sign in terms of neutrality. For what it's worth I don't think unfashionista should be used as a source and I have raised the question at the reliable sources noticeboard previously. I daresay further discussion on the article talkpage could find consensus to remove it. I would also say discussion on the talkpage is in my view more likely to find consensus for the removal of material rather than addition, as the current detail in that section is already fairly long and that would be in accordance with the principles of WP:NOTNEWS. --ℕ ℱ 23:40, 14 March 2016 (UTC)
- I don't suggest all 'reliable' sources are wrong at all, just that some are in this case, demonstrably so. As an author and a journalist who finds it invaluable, I fully support any effort to maintain Wiki's accuracy and neutrality. But as an ex national newspaper reporter I'm also aware of how stories are spun, or created, or rushed into print with little sourcing or checking. It happens. So here we have articles cited as 'reliable', where the reporter has spoken to one person, who wasn't there, and yet our piece, where we spoke to 50 or so, many of whom were, is deemed unreliable. I hope you see my point, as you do re unfashionista. If our piece, and unfashionista, are not to be included than surely Cathy Young's polemic on Reason should also be discounted for the same reasons? A summary of our piece was published by Byline [1] and I'd argue that has as much legitimacy as Reason or those of its ilk. I referred to JWs comment not because I think he endorses our piece - he clearly doesn't - but the fact he suggests it for consideration would suggest he believes Medium to be worthy of consideration, and not dismissed out of hand. Otherwise, he would have ignored, no? Or told whoever brought it to his attention that as it was on Medium and self published it wasn't a reliable source. However, I'd argue our piece to this page is of value not in quoting or on citing, but in indicating that some of the more persistent myths, still on the page, should be removed. I agree with you: this shouldn't be about adding - it should be about clarifying and removing a number of misleading, unsourced and/or disputed statements. (Though I don't accept your point about the entry not pleasing either side of the argument - the inclusion of 'transcripts' and 'now seriously' etc would please one side immensely, when such issues are unproven or in dispute. Btw I'll bring this up on the talk page, but I've seen it said that Connie St Louis agreed TH said 'now seriously' - she 100% disputes that...) Danwadd (talk) 10:09, 15 March 2016 (UTC)

Hello Nonsenseferret
I've just noticed that the bibliography and discography of the Jeff Kent (author) article were deleted on 28 May 2015 because of 'no independent sourcing'. Detailed independent sources for both are given in the main text of the article. Therefore it seems the bibliography and discography (which are commonplace in the articles on writers and musicians and frequently without detailed referencing) should be reinstated. Could you look into this, please?
