In. Canada March14, 1947 Claims; (01; 222-3) Introduction This invention relates to valves ofthe selfclosing variety and more particularly to a selfclosing valve designed to handle high pressure liquids, vapours or gases.
Valves used commercially to control the flow of liquids, gases or vapours from piping, con tainers,. or vessels, fall into one class, namely the hand-operated. type having an inlet and outlet, a closing plug which interrupts the flow between these two ports; and a. valve stem having; a handle which is adapted to control the posi-- tioning of the closing plug in relationship to the two ports.
Conventionally the stem is threaded so that rotary motion of the handle moves the valveplug away from the intake port allowing the gas, vapour or liquid free passage to the outlet port. In controlling the flow of gases, vapours or liquids under pressure, the return or closing motion of the plug must overcome the pressure of the gas, which builds up abnormally on the face of the plug and screw threads of the stem making the valve handle very difiwcult to turn. The diaphragm type of valves are equally affected by pressure and are diflicult to seat against pressure. Due to regulations which many industries must adhere to, the present valve handwheel. is limited to size and diameter; This. limited handwheel size plus the fact: that they are closing against the. pressure contained in the vessels, makes valve; operation: difficult.
Another disadvantage ot the conventional types of valve now in everyday use, is the many moving parts necessary, making the; valve high in cost, difiicultto service and prone to wear, thus greatly shortening the lite. or the valve In many industries where valves are secured,
into: containers or vessels, a protecting cover is:
required. The present type of valve requires a removable cover for filling or discharging. The continual removing and replacing of this cover necessitates much time, and causes damage to the valve outlet threads.
The; design of the conventional valvehavin the stem centrally located necessitates side location for safety plugs, etc; This side location of the safety members, when the valve. is: used with oxygen cylinders or the like; causes the cyl-- inder to spin. or fall, over it the plug is blown. This presents a great hazard in the case or in flammabl gases, as quickly spread to other cylinders knocked over or in the closeft cinity'of the damaged one.
Objects Objects of this invention are:
It A. quick-acting, seli closing valve having, the following:
A. The elimination of moving parts, the applicants valve having only two moving parts B. The overcoming of the pressure factor to the extent of using the, pressure factor to, act
as, a seal against itself. C. The elimination of the handwheel, screw: stem: and stuffing box do. away with the most likelypoints which develop leaks due to wear.
D. Providing a. valve opening means. with which only a fraction of a turn is necessary from. closed to iull, open position, and means associated. with the opening means for obtaining many times reater turning force than provided with.
the, conventional, handwheel type. valve,
E.'Providing safety members which are built into. the topof the valve, thus directing released pressure and. in case of fire, flame in an upward.
direction instead of, against. adjoining cylinders. Providing a. valve over whichv a. protecting -cover, required in some industries, may bev semi:-
nermanentl attached; and through which chars.- ing, and discharging may be accomplished with,
out removal of the cover..
G. Providing avalve, which through simplicityaof, design, makes the valve easy to machine and tension manufacture and of lighter weight, thus saving.
on cost of. the valve and shipping charges.

With reference to the drawings, Figure l illustrates the arc' of the valve in conjunctionwith an oxygen cylinder A and a pressure gauge assembly consist ng of a high pressure gauge B,' a. low pressure gauge C, the pressure control D and the tube E connecting the supply to itsplace of use. The body of the valve I is threadedly connected to the outlet of the cylinder A. and a cover piece I3 protects the valve Ill from damage in shipping or use. The openings I in the cover 13 allow access to the valve to connect a component connection which. in the preferred strucpassage I4. A shoulder portion 24, formed by an annular collar on the body 22, is recessed to accommodate an annular packing 26, and the sliding motion of the body is adapted to be "stopped in one direction by the packing 26 contasting an annular rim 28 extending from the shoulder I9 on the valve body Ill, the seating of this packing 26 on the rim 28 closes the passage between the enlargement I8 and I6 of the passage I4. The face of the body shoulder port on 24 opposite from the packing 26 is adapted to seat a spring 30,the' said spring'being'adapted to urge the seating ofthe body packing 26 against the annular body rim 28. A threaded plug or closure 32 is adapted to close the end of the pas-' sage I4 by being threadably engaged to the body I 0 within the enlargement 20. A packing 33 clamped between the shoulder 2 land the plug 32' prevents leakage between the body in and the plug 32.
The closure 32 is adapted to seat the spring 39, and the outside face is adapted to be engaged by a wrench or other turning medium.
The design of thevalve makes the maintenance:
' and repair a simple operation. By simply re moving the closure 32 all parts'of the va1ve-ma'y' beremoved. Y
and enlargement between the clapet packing At the outlet end of the valve the passage I4 is enlarged at 34 to provide suitable entry for the component connection 36. Different. standard connections are in use and some are illustrated and will be detailed later. However, the connection herein. detailed is for explanatory purposes and is not expected to limit the. features of the valve.
The nozzle of the component connection 3% is collared at 38, providing a seat 40 on theleading side of the collar for a packing 42. The offside face 44 of the collar 38 is adapted to be engaged by the flanged portion 46 of a threaded connecting collar 48, said connecting collar being adapted to threadably engage an extension 5d of the body I0 housing the outlet port.
7 Figure 4 illustrates the valve in the open posi tion and the passage of the gas in discharging it from its source through the primary passage I2 into the spring chamber i3 formed by the secand the rim 28 into the chamber is formed by the first enlargement. From this chamber I5 the gas passes through joining passages 52 entering a centrally disposed passage 54 in the body of the valve body 22. The passage 54 penetrates only a portion of the length of the clapet 22 and the aforementioned joining passages 52 complete the through passage to the outside periphery of the body. The gas is then carried by the pas-' sage 55 of the component connection 36 which is butting up against the passage 54 in the body- In the case of charging cylinders or contain-- 22. ers of any type the flow of gas is reversed, entering the clapet passage 54 and passing out through the primary passage I2. In the preferred structure so far described, the safety devices required in handling high pressure gases, liquids, or vapours are located in line with the primary passage I2 and consists of a safety plug 58 threadably connected to the valve body I0 and a second disc-like safety member 59, held in place against a gasket by the first safety device. provision is made for a filter (ii to be attached. The filter is adapted to prevent any scale or .501

One method of providing th safety device for this alternative type of valve is illustrated at 158, and although shown to exhaustin a sideways direction, this alternative construction of the valve has been designed, primarily, for use in pressure lines. The line may be laid so that the safety device is aimed in a clear direction.
Operation In describing the operation of the self-closing valve, it will be assumed that the valve is to be used in conjunction with an oxygen cylinder, and a gauge unit, the gauge unit comprising the component connection as described.
The threaded shank ll of the valve body this nection by the annular collar 38, is threadably connected to the shank 5!! of the valve body. The threaded collar 48 which is adapted on its outside periphery to receive a wrench is screwed up until the end of the component connection 35 meets the end. of the body 22, the valve still remaining closed. Further turning of the collar 48 exerts a force through the component connection 36 against the valve body 22 sufiicient to counteract the closing action of. the spring 38', thus opening the valve by unseating the body packing 26 from therim seat 28.
Some models of component connections may be equipped with wing-like arms extending from the threaded collar 48 to provide a hand grip for turning the collar. In other modifications of the valve, such as the European standard, illustrated in Figure 6, the arms would be fixed to the turnable member 650.

Unlike other types of valves, the pressure of the liquid gas or vapour in the cylinder acts upon the valve body to close the valve, thus the higher the pressure in the cylinder the greater the pressure exerted on the body tendingto closethevalve" and: prevent leaks.
In. controlling the delivery of; liquid, gas, or; vapour from. the cylinder, the collar 48 is, turned; --forward through 90 to unseat the valve body;

and 1 releases the pressure exerted on the. body by the component connection and the valve closes by- .the pressure of the spring and the remaining gas,

Advantages The advantages of this valve embrace the objects' asset forth in. the specification in that: there are only two moving parts, i. e. the body and the spring. This feature lengthens the life of the valve and makes'the valve much. cheaper to manufacture, operate, and" service, in comparison vn'th the conventional. valves now in use which have manymovable parts.
This valve has no handwheel, screw stem,-
diaphragms or stufiing box, thus eliminating many places where leakage may occur, also considerably lowering the initial cost of the valve. The absence of handwheel, screw stem, stutfing box or'diaphlagrns precludes the possibility of any moisture or foreign matter entering the valve and shortening its life or contaminating the gases, vapours, or fluids which the valve is handling.
handwheel type of valve.
Due to regulations which many industries must adhere to, namely the fitting of a protection cap over the valve, the present valve handwheel is limitedto size and diameter. This limited handwheel. size plus the. fact that it is;
valve body tight on valve. seat, thereby augmenting the spring pressure.
In the preferred structure of this valve thelv safety member for the. first time. is placed in a practical position. and built into the top of the valve. Thus, when. the safety members. operate,
evacuating the vessel or container, the contents} are directed vertica ly. Thisv action prevents the vessel or container from spinning crazily and also prevents damage to adjacent vessels or containers, thereby avoiding propagation of fire toother cylinders when inflammable gases are illvolvedl 1 This valve is so designed. to permit the installa.--
tion: of a permanent cover, thus saving operational. time and protecting valve outlet threads;-
also removes the possibility of losing covers; or
than present. valves, will cost less to make save on shipping charges.
The positive quick action of this valve is made easy because the force obtainable in foot pounds on the turning member of the component connection is many times greater than the force exerted by the body, and the valve will never stick open or shut. To close the valve no manual,
force is used to produce a tight seat, the pressure contained in the vessel or piping acting on the specially designed body plus the pressure derived from th spring produces a leak-proof seating no matter what the pressure is in the container and unseated without rotary motion.
Itwill be understood that without departing from the spirit of the invention or. the scope of the claims, various modifications may be made in the specific expedients described. The latter are illustrative only and not offered in a restrictive sense, it being desired that only such limitations shall be placed thereon as may be required by the state of the prior art.
.The sub-titles used throughout the specification are merely to simplify reference thereto and should otherwise be disregarded. 1

Robin Anderson, an internationally known author and interior designer was born in Scotland and brought up in the former Southern Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe) and South Africa. Before attending Rhodes University he hosted his own radio programme in Rhodesia and worked as a cub reporter on 'The Bulawayo Chronicle' during his gap year. Leaving South Africa, he spent the early Sixties working with interior design companies in Paris, New York and London. He set up his own design company in London in 1970. Although interior design had been his first interest, the designer never stopped writing. Nowadays he makes numerous television appearances and is a regular guest on selected radio programmes, gives regular lectures on his writing.
His first novel, REGINA, A NOVEL OF SOME EXTREMES, was published in 1998. The novel gives a salacious look 'behind the scenes' of the glamorous but bitchy and competitive world of interior design, following the path of the unpleasant but talented Reginald Forbes as he cuts a swathe through the lives of his many unsuspecting victims.
Though London-based, the author travels extensively and the benefits of this are apparent in the various settings to his books. The author is a strong believer in the protection of endangered species. In 1959 he took part in 'Operation Noah' which involved the rescue of hundreds of animals from the rising waters of the new Kariba Dam being across the mighty Zambezi River in the north/western part of Zimbabwe. He is also the proud 'foster parent' to four Orang-utans living at the famous Orang-utan Sanctuary in Sepilok, Borneo plus two elephants, Marlene and Marlon, who live happily on a ranch in Zimbabwe.
In a total contrast to the above, he also helped with the salvaging of precious works of art and manuscripts in Florence, Italy, during the Sixties when the River Arno burst its banks and flooded a major part of the ancient city. In between his travels Anderson lives mainly in a spacious studio 'overlooking a glorious, leafy square' in London's exclusive Chelsea and a small hideaway in the Cinque Terre in his beloved Italy. 'Have laptop, will write and will travel!' is his mantra. In addition to these collections of short stories, Thirteen Tales of Textual Arousal Volume

Asylum Street Spankers
Over a decade ago, this Austin-based group allegedly came together after far too many drinks in a Llano hotel, and remains best appreciated by those not easily offended. The Spankers' all-acoustic, Vaudevillian songs poke fun at everything they possibly can, from "Scrotum Song" to "Stick Magnetic Ribbons on Your SUV," their incredibly tongue-in-cheek tune that blames the Iraq war on America's oil thirst. Over the years, the Spankers' large lineup has changed — the only original members are Christina Marrs and multi-instrumentalist Wammo — but their attitude definitely hasn't. A typical Spankers show, if there is such a thing, careens from covers of old country tunes to original material best kept away from the kids (unless they're doing something from self-released 2007 children's CD Mommy Says No!). Due at yet another New York residency in January to tout brand-new double disc What? And Give Up Show Biz?, the Spankers close out their 2008 Texas calendar Saturday at the Mucky Duck. Come kick away those post-Christmas blues and forget all about that hideous sweater Aunt Stella gave you.

Crushing 2NL Crushed at 5NL
Few things first, Ive seen some posts on this topic before, that are pretty old now, but if you want to merge this into an older thread then you can but id prefer it to be left here.
So, I started with $60 on stars, played 15k hands of 2NL and won at 18bb/100 and got my roll to $120. This was pretty easy after starting badly and running under ev and eventually ran slightly over ev and was playing great. This was 6-8 tabling.
I then moved up to 5NL 4-tabling with 24 buyins. I got crushed and lost 6 buyins. Every opponent I played in big pots seemed to come up with the nuts every time (obv they didnt but always had a set/straight/flush/higher boat). So I moved down and played 7x2NL and 1x5NL table. As usual I was crushing the 2NL and losing badly at 5NL. Steadied my roll at around $85.
Decided to try and play through with 3x5NL and 5x2NL but the same keeps happening, dropped back to $63 :O and then dropped down to strictly 2NL. Tried 24-tabling (slightly from tilt but I know I can do it as I used to last year) and won about 7 buyins back in an hour. My roll is now $75 and I dont know what to do. Im probably gonna continue to mass multitable 2NL and get back to around $150 and take another shot at 5NL. Is this sensible? I am planning on using a 20BI move up plan because I want to be at 25NL by Christmas. I just want to get past 5NL as Ive never been able to beat it, but have been profitable at 10NL, 25NL, and 50NL in the past.
I know I should be playing my same game at 5NL as 2NL, but there is a big difference, much less spazzes.
Anyone got any good advice and tips to offer?
re: Poker & Crushing 2NL Crushed at 5NL
Off the top of my head:
PFR 15.8 (limping comes from flatting raises with small-med pairs IP and stuff like QTs when there are 2 or more limpers)
3-bet: 5% (way too low I think)
4-bet: 3.5%
River call Efficiency: 0.35 (weird as I only call with TPTK+ at the river when I think I'm good.)
Flop/Turn C-bet: 55/45 (was 75/60 for 2NL) bu c-bets get floated and raised much more often at 5NL
I don't think your 3 bet is too low. Unless you have the right read and right situation, stick to 3betting for value at 5nl.
Your WTSD is high, standard is about 26%. You're W$SD is low. You want that above 50% so more often than not you have the best hand at showdown.
Cbets are a little low, but ok. You just don't want flop 70+, turn 30. People will catch on and float you like spiderman in the Macy's day parade.
Yea I think you need to be more careful what cards you are taking to the river. When you play a little loose post-flop you will probably run into more of those big hands than if you got out earlier. I think 3bet is definitely not too low, it is fairly high. I thought like 3-3.5 was about standard. Although mine is 7 lol.
If you have PT3 I would filter the 3bets and 4bets by hands other than like QQ+ and AK to see if you are making a profit from them. I dont know 4bet seems very high...
You say you were profitable at 50nl and 25nl, how many hands are we talking here?
Variance is just so much bigger than most players realise. This guy on 2+2 did a 1 million hands in a month challenge. He's a winning reg. at higher stakes but did the challenge at 2nl. Look at his sessions, sometimes he ran 20 buyins under in a session. I don't mean to be a dick here, but maybe you aren't as profitable a player as you may think.
You also say you haven't played that many hands at $5nl. Are you relying on opponents stats such as fold to 3bet over statistically insignificant sample sizes? The only reasonably reliable stats over anything less than a four digit sample size are things like VPIP and PFR.
*EDIT: 10K hands is literally nothing.
Yes obviously I'm not as good as the high stakes player in the challenge, but I'm pretty confident I can beat 2NL comfortably. I didn't know that stats like F3bet and FvCbet is not reliable vs an opponent with around 200 hands, so I'll rely on that less
now im a bit of a bankroll nit (30 BI's before moving to 25nl) but isn't 50 BI's overly nitty? i mean its good to be comfortable and if 50 is where you're gonna stop playing with scared money thats fine but, the rake at the lower levels is pretty annoying
Since you have beaten higher limits I would suspect its just variance. Just a thought though: Do you think you might be bluffing a bit too much for 5nl? A lot of your villains won't fold to a raise on an obvious turn or river scare card if they have any piece of the board at all.
Also, I know its only 5nl but perhaps play a couple of sessions of one or two tables to steady yourself before playing 4+ tables. 5nl has plenty of terrible players but they are terrible in a slightly different way than in 2nl and a bit of time observing more closely on fewer tables might highlight the differences.
Best of luck to you.

Risk Criteria
Chosen Business: City restaurant
Before discussing what the core activities the company undertakes to achieve its operational objectives, it is vital to highlight these operational objectives. The following section gives a brief overview of these objectives:
The strategic objective of Taste Inn is to become the most liked brand among its customers, a financially and operationally strong company in the eyes of its investors, and a competitive participant in the food and hospitality industry of Australia. The major operational objectives of the company include:
A strong customer base:
The most important operational objective of the company is to strengthen its customer base by attracting more and more customers towards its product offerings. It aims to build a strong public image in the eyes of its customers and the society in which it operates.
Become a financially and operationally strong corporation:
The second most important operational objective of the company is to become a financially and operationally strong company which may never face any difficulty while making investments in the future or see dissatisfied customers due to inefficiency in its operations or customer services.
3. Build strong relationships with the supply chain members
The third important operational objective is to strengthen business relationships with the supply chain members. These members act as the building blocks for a strong and competitive corporation in the industry (Fraser & Simkins 2010). From the supply of raw material to the promotion and distribution of the final products; every supply chain member plays an important role in the success of the company. Therefore, Taste Inn gives strong emphasis on building long-term relationships with the most reliable suppliers from the industry.
4. High sales volume and market share:
A high sales volume and an ever increasing market share is one of the core operational objectives of a business organization. Taste Inn also aims to strengthen its business presence in the food and hospitality of Australia by ensuring a steady growth in its sales and market share. This objective can only be achieved if Taste Inn puts its complete focus on bringing improvements in its product and service offerings and find ways to boost up its sales activities.
Technological advancements are of significant importance for Taste Inn. Reason being, the production units in modern city restaurants are equipped with latest plants and machineries. These advanced plants and machineries make the production processes efficient and cost-effective. If Taste Inn ignores technology and uses traditional methods of baking food and preparing eatables, it will no more remain competitive in its industry. As a result, it will lose its brand image and strong customer base which it has developed over years.
5. Become a competitive participant in the food and hospitality industry:
In addition to focusing on products and service offerings, Taste Inn also aims to become a market leader in the industry by beating the competition and winning the confidence of its stakeholders.
6. Ensure a continuous growth of operations
Another important operational objective of Taste Inn is to ensure a continuous growth in its operation. It considers the business growth as a strong tool for competitiveness and sustainability in the industry.
All of these operational objectives overlap each other because a restaurant can use different strategies to meet one operational objective. For example, quality of the products can be improved by bringing improvements in the current production operations or by purchasing higher quality raw material which is used in the production of the products.
1. Total Quality Management:
Total Quality Management (TQM) is an effective technique to improve the overall the business operations efficiency. Taste Inn implements the principles of Total Quality Management in all the aspects of its operations in order to achieve its operational objective of strong customer base, high sales volume, high market share, competitiveness, and sustainability. Total Quality Management (TQM) at Taste Inn entails focusing on product innovation, service quality, financial performance, and overall operational excellence.
2. Efficient Customer Services:
To achieve the operational objective of strong customer base and a high level of acceptability and brand loyalty, Taste Inn focuses on efficiency in its customer services. It consists of ensuring timely delivery of products, pleasant dining experience, quick response to questions and queries, efficient time management, and other related customer services.
3. Inventory Management and selection of Supply Chain Members:
Taste Inn recognizes the importance of product quality and efficient service delivery for the achievement of operational objectives. In order to produce the best quality food products, Taste Inn purchases the highest quality raw material from the most reliable suppliers from the industry. It ensures an efficient inventory management so that there is a balance between the supply and demand of the raw material at its production unit. In order to ensure an efficient delivery of the products, the distributors are selected on the basis of their reputation and track record in the industry (Hajime & Sato 2009).
TQM vs. Inventory Management
As operational objectives always overlap in every industry, Taste Inn will find a significant relationship between the two in meeting its operational objectives. However, both these processes are different from each other in a number of ways. TQM is a composite phenomenon where Taste Inn will look at all the business activities and affairs collectively so as to achieve operational excellence. On the other hand, Inventory management is just concerned with keeping a good balance among supply, capacity, and demand options in the production plants of the restaurant.
4. Effective Marketing and Promotional Activities
Although marketing and promotional activities are not concerned with the operational performance of the company; they play an important role in the accomplishment of its overall operational objectives. Taste Inn expends a significant amount from its marketing budget on advertisements and other promotional campaigns so as to create awareness about its products and services and attract the potential customers towards these offerings. These expenditures can help the company in achieving its operational objectives of high sales volume and improved financial performance in the long run.
5. Internal Control:
Internal control is another practice or core activity which helps the company in achieving its operational objectives (Spedding & Rose 2008). Internal Control refers to the measures and procedures which Taste Inn incorporates within its business setup for the purposes of keeping a check and balance between its earnings and expenditures. That is, the measurement of the effectiveness and efficiency of different departments and taking corrective actions where the performance of these departments varies with the set standards (Ritchie & Zsidisin 2008).
The objectives discussed in the above section can be generalized to any industry, but the risk factors identified in the next section are specifically related to Taste Inn restaurant. For example, the restaurant must ensure a regular supply of raw material like wheat, milk, fruits, eggs, meat, and other ingredients so that there is no shortage of any type of product in the restaurant. Similarly, power failure, late delivery of products, improper treatment of customers, inefficient customer complaints section can pose negative impacts to the company's sales. These specific risks are now discussed below in detail:
1. Supply of raw material:
One of the major operational risks for a restaurant is the efficient supply of raw material used in the manufacturing of its products. For Taste Inn, the supplies of raw material like wheat, milk, fruits, eggs, meat, and other ingredients must be efficient enough to ensure that there is no shortage of any type of product in the restaurant. However, it is generally observed that every type of industry faces the shortage of raw material due to different reasons which badly hampers the sales growth of its firms during that shortage period. This risk can bring critical consequences for Taste Inn; e.g. dissatisfied and unhappy customers, low sales, fewer revenues, non-availability of raw material or at high price otherwise, etc. (Sadgrove 2005).
2. Inefficient customer services:
Taste Inn always faces a risk of inefficiency in its operations which may be caused due to various reasons; like power failure, late delivery of products, improper treatment of customers, inefficient customer complaints section, etc. This risk can pose big threat to the company in the form of unhappy customers. These unhappy and dissatisfied customers will share their bad experience with the restaurant with other potential customers. On the other hand, if Taste Inn gives superior customer services to all its customers, it will create a positive image in their brand which can become a source of growth and competitiveness of its business in the future.
3. Quality of the products:
Quality of the products is measured either by analysing the quality of raw material which is used in their production of the effectiveness of production operations at different levels. Quality of the products is one of the strongest tools for achieving operational objectives (Young 2010). Therefore, any flaws in the production processes or usage of inferior quality raw material can…[continue]

Drive axle inflation systems might not be the Holy Grail of truck maintenance, but they are in a position to cure a vexing problem. Tire pressure maintenance is time-consuming and costly, but there's no debating the savings from properly inflated tires. At least four manufacturers have systems in development. At least one is already available.

Anti-Obama Signs Freaking Some People Out
Interesting happenings up in Massachusetts (originally from Patriot Ledger)
(Mediaite) A few homemade billboard signs in Hanson, Mass., have generated considerable controversy for their inflammatory anti-Obama messages.
Sitting on the property of motorcycle accessories distributor Sullivans Inc., one large sign shows President Barack Obama with a caption that reads: "Somewhere in Kenya, a village is missing its idiot."
"Obama One Big Ass Mistake America, Vote Mitt Romney for 2012!" it reads below the main headline. The communist symbolic images of the hammer and sickle are on the president's shirt collar.
Several feet away, another sign shows a pouting young girl giving the middle-finger to the president. "Thanks, Obama," begins the caption in bold red letters, and then continues in child-like penmanship: "You've spent my lunch money, my allowance, my inheritance, 35 years of future paychecks and my retirement. You jerk."
Personally, I think the billboards are a bit over the top. The first one would have worked better if it had said Illinois instead of Kenya (don't forget, Obama claimed he was from Kenya in a biography). The one with the little girl could have done without the middle finger, and possibly the "you jerk." Though, Lefties have no room to complain considering the way they treated George W. Bush. And other Republicans.
Others say the signs go too far. "That type of statement is real real redneck," one resident said. "It's regressive and not progressive."
Oh, good, answering with an inappropriate slur. And, what's "progressive" done to this country? Pure misery. Over to the Patriot Ledger
Sullivan's attorney, Roger S. Davis of Quincy, cited free speech when asked about the signs Wednesday.
"First amendment to the U.S. Constitution. It's called freedom of speech," Davis said.
Robert Sullivan is the business owner who put the signs up. The city is attempting to get him to take them down, saying that he didn't have the proper permits (to put them up on his own property, no less) and that they create a driving hazard. Many people think the signs are funny, some don't. And, of course
Brown, who saw the signs while riding his bike through Hanson on Sunday, said he thinks the sign calling Obama an "idiot" from a Kenyan village is racist.
Or, it could be that Obama is an idiot as a president, and listed himself as being from Kenya. Bummer.

So now the football is finished and the tennis has almost come to an end it seems that there are tons of new shows kicking off this week so it's been a struggle to whittle them down to five however below are my final choices.
Superstar (ITV1, Sat 7:25pm & Sun,8pm)
Saturday nights have seemed awfully quiet since The Voice and Britain's Got Talent left us back in May thankfully until The X-Factor returns we have a stopgap in the form of Superstar. In fact it does seem that Superstar has been coming for a long time now ever since Andrew Lloyd-Webber announced his intention of finding a lead to his new production of Jesus Christ Superstar which is set to open at the 02. It seems that his Lordship has defected to ITV after several years of finding talent on BBC1 but maybe this time the casting process is a little bit too controversial for the Beeb so Graham Norton has been replaced by Amanada Holden as the host of this endeavour.
The first two episodes, shown over the weekend, will see the 100 finalists whittled down to 40 thanks to a panel of Jason Donavan, producer David Grindrod and Mel C who will be starring as Mary Magdalene in the show itself. Sunday's edition will see the final 40 whisked off to an island for some intensive training ahead of the live shows where Dawn French will accompany Donavan and Llyod-Webber on the panel. If nothing else Superstar will be an intriguing programme which should initially be fun to watch but as always they'll have to cast an interesting bunch for the audience not to lose interest in the show.
Thelma's Gypsy Girls (C4, Sun, 9pm)
There's no denying that the Big Fat Gypsy phenomenon has produced some of Channel 4's finest ratings in ages so there's no surprise that they're getting as much out of the franchise as they possibly can. This week BFGW's resident dress-maker Thelma Madine presents her new spin-off show in which she puts ten young traveller girls through an intensive six month training course. Due to the fact that the majority of these girls are taken out of school by the age of eleven, Thelma has her work cut out for her getting them to do even the simplest of tasks but she perseveres as she feels like the traveller community has made a ton of money over the years. Though I feel that the Gypsy Weddings shows have become a bit repetitive I am a fan of Madine's so I'm hoping that this programme will show the traveller girls in a slightly more positive light than the original programme which, in my opinion, spent too much time poking fun at their old-fashioned lifestyle.
Twenty Twelve (BBC2, Tues, 10pm)
For those of you who thought the last series of Twenty Twelve was far too short don't despair as it was only the first part of the second run with the final three episodes starting from Tuesday. As we're now in a period where people who have applied for their Olympic tickets are starting to receive them it is evident than the ever-incompetent Deliverance Committee has their work cut out for them. Hugh Bonneville is brilliant as ever as the harassed Head of Committee Ian Fletcher who tries in vain to stop the games from being a complete disaster however his dim-witted staff have other ideas. This week the problems stem from the Olympic Travel Advice Pack which is considered far too dull so of course Jessica Hynes' fabulously observed PR Guru Siobhan has some ideas to jazz it up. There's also a problem with people putting live rounds into the starting pistols so Ian has a meeting with a female police chief who has been appointed head of the 'Catastrophisation Unit'. As clever and funny as it always has been I'm just hoping that we get another run of Twenty Twelve after the games to see how much the Committee can botch up clearing up after London 2012 has been and gone.
The Newsroom (Sky Atlantic, Tues, 10pm)
After winning an Oscar for his script for The Social Network, as well as working on the Oscar-nominated Moneyball, Aaron Sorkin is going back to the small-screen where he made his name with The West Wing. His latest show The Newsroom is another behind the scenes look at television, following in the footsteps of Sports Night and Studio 60 on The Sunset Strip, which follows the exploits of the staff at Atlantis Cable News. Jeff Daniels heads the cast as Will McAvoy who is seen as the nation's favourite newscaster due to his impartiality however his life changes when an ex-girlfriend, played by Emily Mortimer, becomes his new producer. Will in fact has to deal with an almost entirely new staff after his former co-anchor left taking most of the production team with him. As always Sorkin's writing highlights the problems within the area his show is set, in this instance the news media, with his characters performing mini-monologues to air their views about the changing shape of their industry. Though the reviews in the states have been particularly favourable what I do know is that Sorkin always produces interesting shows while The Newsroom has a great cast which not only includes Daniels and Mortimer but also Dev Patel, Allison Pill, Sam Waterston and Jane Fonda I'd advise everyone to ignore the critics by making your own mind up when the programme debuts on Tuesday night.
Case Sensitive (ITV1, Thurs and Fri, 9pm)
For those of you missing Vera and Lewis, ITV1 has got some more new crime drama for you this week in the form of Case Sensitive starring Olivia Williams and Darren Boyd. If you missed the first two-parter last year the show is based around the novels of Sophie Hannah and sees Boyd and Williams as detectives Simon Waterhouse and Charlie Zailer a mis-matched pair who have undeniable sexual chemistry. This instalment, show on Thursday and Friday, is based on Hannah's The Other Half Lives and tells the tale of a man proposing to his fiancée only to then reveal that he once hurt a woman but she then agrees to keep this is a secret but as you would expect people then start dying. The first Case Sensitive was well-acted but I have to say that I found it fairly forgettable in the overall scheme of these murder mystery shows, that being said the two leads are strong and the story might be better this time round so you'll just have to tune in to find out just how good it is.
Do you Agree with my Choices? What will you be Watching this week? Leave Your Comments Below.

The Wall Street Journal has a great wine column penned by Dorothy Gaiter and John Brecher. If this blog was about wine and not growth, I would probably have mentioned them long before now. However their column last friday titled "Small Wine Stores Get Bigger gives me a legitimate excuse to give them a plug. They tell the story of a small wine shop in Manhattan that has flourished in spite of tough competition from the internet and big box retailers. Did you know that Costco is the largest wine retailer in the country? It's even the top importer of the highest of the high end wines, first growth Bordeaux.
In their story about Nancy's Wines for Foods, Gaiter and Brecher teach all of us a valuable lesson about succeeding in competition with giants. We'll never be bigger than them, so we just have to put our energy into being better. What does better mean? Better customer service. Better selection. More personality.
They make a statement that I love: "While so many shops along that commercial strip have come and gone, Nancy's survives. She doesn't promise the lowest prices. She never posts other people's ratings. She displays far more Rieslings than Chardonnays and she doesn't even sell Yellow Tail. But she offers knowledge, passion and personal experience of the wines she sells." Doesn't that sound like the person that you'd like to do business with?
I can't link to it because it is a paid subscription service but I would certainly suggest that you grab a copy if you can or look it up on line.

The Big Data market is on the upsurge. New trends and new opportunities are entering the market and impacting several businesses in a major way. Big publications and various other sources have predicted that Big Data will bring about many changes in technology and cause new business opportunities to emerge and improve existing business conditions.
Let us have a look at the major Big Data predictions that are expected to dominate the market and the business sector in 2015.
1. Business Intelligence is expected to evolve into Data Intelligence
The year 2015 is expected to bring about some crucial changes to business intelligence. The predictions forecast that Business Intelligence or BI will evolve from being just a tool for reporting to data intelligence.
It will have its reach in every aspect of the society, from governments to cities to individuals who will be using it for a number of tasks such as prevention of traffic, fraud detection, monitoring personal health, keeping track of diseases, etc.
This means, business intelligence is slated to extend its reach well beyond the business world and directly enter into the everyday lives of people and make an impact on their decisions.
2. Mobile Business Intelligence will come of age
Though Business Intelligence has come a long way, the same cannot be said about mobile business intelligence. In fact mobile business intelligence has not been able to make much headway due to the reason that business intelligence generally does not work well with mobile devices.
The normal tendency by users is to avoid reading data in depth on a mobile device, but get straight to the point instead. However, as the focus turns to mobile and everything is shifting to mobile devices, the approach to business intelligence is expected to change and follow the general trend.
Visualizations are expected to be replaced by simple graphs, hard numbers, etc. As people continue to access data on the go, there is only one way for business intelligence, and that is to go mobile for greater accessibility by the users.
3. Managing Unstructured data will be a reality
Unstructured data has been the cause of many obstacles in the past. But it is predicted that in 2015 things will change for the better. It will finally be possible for companies and organizations to handle unstructured data in a meaningful manner.
4. Major changes are expected in Cloud strategies
The general perception is that cloud is a solution that is suitable for all kinds of deployment. However, now enterprises are giving it a serious thought and are taking a different approach to determine the future strategy for cloud and Big Data.
With the increase in computer capacity and the ability to process and analyse Big Data, numerous possibilities have opened up. But the thing to keep in mind for companies and organizations is that the increase in their cloud and Big Data initiatives must not cause any problem for their infrastructure's availability and performance.
It will be the duty of the IT departments to keep a watch on the service and performance of their infrastructure that involves both on premise private and hybrid cloud deployments, and this must be done in real time.
5. Need for Analysed data will increase
As the need for analysed data increases, the pressure will be on IT to meet the demands. More and more users are expected to use analysed data for their everyday lives as the reach of Big Data further increases among the people.
6. Security issues of IT pros and business executives will be resolved
There have been several instances in 2014 when large organizations suffered security beaches and issues related to compliance. Some of such issues were a result of outdated strategies of data governance that failed to manage the increasing repository of data.
But 2015 will see the IT pros and business executives rise to the occasion of security needs, compliance and management. The combination of effective technology and strategy will result in assessment, monitoring and protection of the company's or organization's data at the core of the data centre.
7. The comfort of Cloud will give way
The hype that cloud is the solution for the Big Data problem is about to burst. The fact is that public cloud is a dreadful location to place your Big Data. In 2015 the main issues for companies will be related to the performance, security and cost of managing data on public cloud.
Companies will have to think for achieving scalability without having to compromise on performance or affordability. There has been concern about this issue for a while now but it seems 2015 will be the year when things will change as a large number of companies will be forced to step out of the comfort zone of using public cloud and start to look for new ways to handle their Big Data.
8. Appropriate storage solutions will be favoured
It has been the concern of enterprises for quite a while now to look for appropriate storage solutions that will meet their goals of performance, scalability and accessibility. Enterprises are not fascinated by the fact that they have to pay for performance that they don't require.
On one hand, hierarchical approaches are focusing on becoming mainstream. On the other hand, the market is showing encouraging results regarding the acceptance of open solutions that involve commodity hardware.
It is expected that in 2015 the market will be the place for those storage solutions that rise to the challenge of the ever-increasing unstructured data and manage the issue effectively.
9. Focus will be on Search in Big Data and BI
The trend indicates that 'search' will be the focus of BI interfaces. As more and more business users want to get maximum utility from their business intelligence interfaces, BI providers will incorporate search into their interfaces. The aim is to make such tools more acceptable and accessible for every business user.
10. Media Analytics will emerge as a key drive
The prediction for Big Data says that rich media analytics will be a key factor for technology investment in relation to Big Data. Rich media analytics involve image, audio and video analytics. As the market trend of Big Data indicates, several large organizations are utilizing rich media data for their Big Data analytics projects.
Though all organisations have not yet started to use rich media, the year 2015 will see a substantial rise in the number of organizations and companies that will start using rich media analytics.
Big Data is still an emerging trend. Some enterprises and companies have already recognised its potential and some are still trying to understand its need and utility for success.
Apart from the customers of Big Data, there are the vendors and consultants of Big Data who are trying to make organizations and individuals realise the importance of Big Data.
As the world steps into a new year, the trends of business for Big Data show that it will have significant impact on the business sector in this year.

India said it reacted with "grave concern" to news that al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden had been hiding out "deep inside" Pakistan before his death Monday, and called on Islamabad to arrest militants connected to the attacks on Mumbai in 2008 that killed more than 160 people.
"We believe the perpetrators of the Mumbai terror attack, including the controllers and handlers of the terrorists who actually carried out the attack, continue to be sheltered in Pakistan," the Home Ministry said in a statement.
"We once again call on the government of Pakistan to arrest the persons whose names have been handed over to the interior minister of Pakistan," the statement said.
A spokesman for Pakistan's President Asif Ali Zardari declined to comment.
Mr. bin Laden was killed overnight Monday in a joint U.S.-Pakistan operation on a compound near the Pakistani town of Abbottabad.
The Mumbai attacks were carried out by 10 Pakistani gunmen over three days in November 2008. Pakistan has charged seven men linked to Pakistan militant group Lashkar-e-Taiba in connection with the attack but their trials are yet to get underway.
India last year sentenced the lone surviving gunmen to death but the sentence has not yet been carried out.
New Delhi says it has given Pakistan information regarding the involvement of other senior militants. India previously has criticized Pakistan for failing to act on this information and for moving too slowly with its trials.

Henry Patterson of Lidlington, Bedfordshire United Kingdom may have already built his own empire at a very young age of just 11 years old. Earning about roughly $1,500 a week, his self-built business has already given him financial stability. How he managed to built his own business kingdom is a story you definitely must read. Check it out!
From humble beginnings, Henry started out as a simple farm boy. He sells manure, in which believe it or not, propelled him to great heights as he sought out to start his own business.
He may have smelled success selling dung, but he worked hard at a young age and soon explored other options on how he could earn more money. Gathering all the money he earned from selling manure during his farm boy experience, Patterson started to venture into the world of sweets and started his very own sweet shop which is called Not Before Tea.
Besides his sweet shop, Henry also has an ONLINE BUSINESS, after he opened up an eBay shop where he sells goods bought from charity shops. With a passion for discovering and coming up with new ideas to earn money, we can assume Patterson will continue to build his dynamic business empire. To do so, he will be having his own YouTube channel, NBTV. For such a young age, many people would think Patterson would have the urge to spend the money on fancy stuff like gadgets, cars, and gaming consoles? Well, surprise! This kid is smarter than your average Joe, and the only expensive thing he has bought is a puppy. Henry knows his stuff, and it certainly helps when you came from humble beginnings.
So, what are your thoughts on Henry Patterson's amazing business empire? Do you desire to start your own business as well? Sound us off your thoughts, ideas and opinions by dropping down your comments right down below the comments section!

April 26, 1984
Gregory ZEMAITIS, Plaintiff,
MERRILL LYNCH, PIERCE, FENNER & SMITH, INC. and Geoffrey L. Conklin, Defendants.
MEMORANDUM DECISION and ORDER
TELESCA, District Judge.
This is an action under the Federal Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and containing a pendent state law claim brought by plaintiff against defendant, Merrill, Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith, Inc. (Merrill Lynch) and one of its brokers, Geoffrey L. Conklin. The complaint alleges that plaintiff opened an investment account with defendant Merrill Lynch, responsibility for which was given to Conklin. Plaintiff contends that defendants wrongfully conducted excessive trading in his account for their own benefits (Count I "Churning"); that the investments made were unsuitable to plaintiff's investment objectives (Count II "Unsuitability"); that the defendants intentionally made material misstatements and omissions in regard to the sale of securities to his detriment in violation of Rule 10b-5 (Count III "Misstatements and Omissions"); and, finally, a count alleging basically the same facts as Count III under state law (Count IV "Common Law Fraud"). Defendants have moved to dismiss Count II for failure to state a claim pursuant to Fed.R.Civ.P. 12(b)(6). Defendants have simultaneously moved to compel arbitration of plaintiff's common law fraud claim and further, request that this Court stay its proceedings pending the completion of that arbitration.
Plaintiff admits in his brief that this Circuit does not recognize a cause of action for unsuitability. (See Plaintiff's Memorandum p. 1). He argues, however, that other Circuits have recognized such a cause of action and urges that this Court adopt that view, See Mihara v. Dean, Witter & Co., 619 F.2d 814 (9th Cir.1980); Buttrey v. Merrill, Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith, Inc., 410 F.2d 135, 141 (7th Cir.1969), cert. denied, 396 U.S. 838, 90 S. Ct. 98, 24 L. Ed. 2d 88 (1969). I choose, however, to follow what I believe to be the better view, expressed by other courts in this Circuit that a violation of the rules of the New York Stock Exchange and the National Association of Securities Dealers regarding suitability of investments, does not create an implied cause of action under the Federal Securities Acts of 1933 or 1934. See Juster v. Rothschild, Unterberg, Towbin, Gruntal & Co., 554 F. Supp. 331, 333 (S.D.N.Y.1983); Mauriber v. Shearson-American Express, Inc., 546 F. Supp. 391, 394 (S.D.N.Y.1982); Picard v. Wall Street Discount Corp., 526 F. Supp. 1248 (S.D.N.Y. 1981). Accordingly, defendants' motion to dismiss Count II of plaintiff's complaint pursuant to Fed.R.Civ.P. 12(b)(6) is granted.
Defendants have also moved to compel arbitration of Count IV of plaintiff's complaint. In support of this motion, defendants have submitted a copy of the Standard Option Agreement signed by plaintiff under the terms of which plaintiff has agreed to submit to arbitration any controversies between the parties which arise out of the option transactions involved, to be conducted before the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc., the New York Stock Exchange, or another exchange of plaintiff's election. (See Exhibit "D" to affidavit of William L. Noonan, Jr., sworn to March 2, 1984). Defendants also seek a stay of this proceeding pending that arbitration.
It is well settled (and defendants do not contend otherwise) that claims under the Federal Securities Acts are not arbitrable and that the jurisdiction of the federal courts to hear such claims cannot be waived. Wilko v. Swan, 346 U.S. 427, 74 S. Ct. 182, 98 L. Ed. 168 (1953). Defendants attempt to compel arbitration only of plaintiff's fourth claim for common law fraud over which plaintiff asks the Court to exercise pendent jurisdiction. See United Mine Workers v. Gibbs, 383 U.S. 715, 86 S. Ct. 1130, 16 L. Ed. 2d 218 (1966).
A review of the cases which have addressed this question indicate that courts have determined this issue based upon the similarity between the state and federal claims as alleged in the complaint. In Mansbach v. Prescott, Ball, and Turben, 598 F.2d 1017 (6th Cir.1979) the court held that if the federal claims contained substantially the same elements as the state law claims, . . . "so that resolution of federal claims will necessarily resolve the state claims," then the court should hear both. Id. at 1030. Conversely, the court held, if the state and federal claims are deemed not similar enough, the court should proceed with the federal claims and stay all proceedings on the state law claims. Id. at 1031. Other courts, however, have viewed the district court's discretion in such situations to be far more limited. In Dickinson v. Heinold Securities Inc., 661 F.2d 638 (7th Cir.1981) the court held that a district court may not refuse to enforce an agreement to arbitrate merely because an arbitrable claim is tied together with one which is not, "even when a bifurcated resolution may result in an assertedly inefficient or delayed resolution of the entire dispute". Id. at 646. However, the court in Dickenson also recognized that "[w]here the non-arbitrable issues substantially permeate the entire case and make it difficult to separate out the arbitrable issues, the district court has discretion to stay arbitration pending a judicial resolution of the non-arbitrable claims". Id. at 644, citing Applied Digital Technology, Inc. v. Continental Casualty Co., 576 F.2d 116, 117 (7th Cir.1978); see also, Lawson Fabrics, Inc. v. Akzona, 355 F. Supp. 1146, 1151 (S.D.N.Y.1972), aff'd, 486 F.2d 1394 (2nd Cir. 1973)."By controlling the order of the two adjudications . . . the district court can preserve its full authority to decide the non-arbitrable federal issues without any collateral estoppel consequences from the prior arbitration". Dickenson, supra, 661 F.2d at 644; accord, Pross v. Baird, Patrick and Co., Inc., F. Supp. Fed.Sec.L.Rep. (C.C.H.) Para. 99, 438 (S.D.N.Y.1983).
Defendants cite two recent United States Supreme Court cases, Southland Corporation v. Keating, 465 U.S. 1, 104 S. Ct. 852, 79 L. Ed. 2d 1 (1984) and Moses H. Cone Memorial Hospital v. Mercury Construction Corp., 460 U.S. 1, 103 S. Ct. 927, 74 L. Ed. 2d 765 (1983) in support of their position that not only should the fourth claim be arbitrated, but it should be arbitrated before any judicial resolution of the remaining federal claims in plaintiff's complaint. Although both of these cases emphasize the strong federal policy in favor of arbitration, nothing in either case suggests that Wilko v. Swan, supra, has been overruled. Thus, of at least equal importance is that this Court preserve its jurisdiction over the Federal Securities claims and not allow an arbitrator to decide factual issues pertinent to such claims. See Miley v. Oppenheimer and Co., Inc., 637 F.2d 318, 335 (5th Cir.1981); Dickenson v. Heinold, supra, 661 F.2d at 644.
A review of the complaint in this case reveals that plaintiff's third claim for misstatements and omissions in violation of S.E.C. Rule 10b-5 and fourth cause of action for common law fraud are substantially similar. The facts adjucicated in regard to one will in all likelihood be conclusive of the other. However, the burden of proof on plaintiff's common law fraud claim is higher, see Weinberger v. Kendrick, 698 F.2d 61, 78 (2nd Cir.1982), and this claim also carries with it a possible award of punitive damages. Thus, if defendants should prevail on Count III in this Court, there would be virtually nothing left to arbitrate on Count IV. Conversely, if plaintiff should prevail on Count III, then plaintiff's fourth claim could be submitted to arbitration with this Court's determination being given appropriate collateral estoppel effect. See New York State Association for Retarded Children v. Carey, 456 F. Supp. 85, 96 (E.D.N.Y.1978).
Therefore, it makes sense to proceed first with the adjudication of the federal claims (which cannot be arbitrated) and stay the arbitration of the state claims in the meantime.
Accordingly, defendants' motion to dismiss Count II of plaintiff's complaint is granted. Further, this Court declines to exercise pendent jurisdiction over Count IV of plaintiff's complaint and orders that arbitration of that claim be stayed pending the judicial resolution of plaintiff's Federal Securities Law claims.

The maximum temperature was two degrees above normal at 30.7 degree Celsius while the minimum temperature settled at 14 degree Celsius, normal for this time of the year.
The humidity oscillated between 38 and 94 per cent. In the capital, south Delhi's Aya Nagar area had the lowest temperature at 12.7 degree Celsius while it also recorded the highest maximum at 31 degree Celsius.
"Today's weather was awesome. A perfect setting for shopping for Diwali," said Madhumita Sinha, a housewife residing in South-Ex.
The Met department has predicted similar conditions for tomorrow with mercury fluctuating between 14 and 30 degree Celsius.
"The morning hours may witness mist or shallow fog but the Delhi skies will be clear as the day progresses," the MeT said.
