Welcome to CareLine
In this issue
Jennifer Twist Chief Executive, Care for the Carers
At the carers' forums this summer, staying healthy was a much discussed topic, and many carers talked about just how hard it can be to prioritise your own health and wellbeing. Carers took part in a survey about the impact of caring, and confirmed that stress and anxiety are still significant problems for East Sussex carers (more information on p.12). Juggling caring responsibilities with work or running the household can leave very little time for you. If you've been caring for a loved one for some time, this balancing act will be something that you recognise and manage every day, but if you're new to caring, you may be starting to think through how to construct your 'safety net'. In this edition of CareLine we've tried to gather together information on some of the resources available to help with this – practical tools, training opportunities, and the chance to spend some time in the company of other carers who understand the challenges, pressures – and joys – of caring. We are launching two new projects. Louise Smith and Andy Fermor have joined us to work at the hospitals in Hastings and Eastbourne, alongside NHS and Adult Social Care colleagues to 2

ensure carers are supported when they or the person they care for is in hospital. We're also delighted to be launching a new mental health carer support service. Funded by East Sussex County Council, the project will provide specialist support, as well as working with the Sussex Partnership NHS Foundation Trust to implement the Triangle of Care (read more on p.8). We're also excited to be opening up more opportunities for carers and supporters to make a difference, either by volunteering, or by speaking up for carers. Time is precious, so we especially value the work of our team of volunteers. We're hoping that more people will join us – would you consider giving a few hours a month as an Ambassador? Or joining your local Carers Voices group to share your expertise with organisations seeking to build the best possible services for carers? Find out more on p.5, or do call us. And lastly, I do hope that you will be able to join us at one of our upcoming events - the Carers Forums in Oct (p. 11) and the AGM on 27th November.

Do you look after someone? Do you look after a relative, friend or neighbour who couldn't manage without your help? If you provide unpaid support to a relative, partner or friend who is ill, frail, disabled or has mental health or substance misuse problems, you are a carer. You might feel that you're doing what anyone else would in your situation; looking after your mum, son, or best friend and just getting on with it.
We are your local carers centre Care for the Carers is an independent charity and we have been supporting unpaid carers in East Sussex since 1989. Our team of staff and volunteers can provide practical & emotional advice. We can put you in touch with other carers, and offer a range of groups, training and events.
A Note from the Editor David Thompson Editor
I'm currently sitting, looking out of the window and it's is already beginning to get dark outside, and it's only just gone 4pm! Well... summer seems to be on it's way out, but that's not a bad thing in my books as autumn heralds my favourite time of the year! Inside this edition Sarah and Carole, who are both from Care for the Carers, talk about the work that they do and how this benefits the organisation, but more importantly carers. You'll also read about useful training available as well as the upcoming carers forums in October. Thinking ahead to the winter edition, I'd love to hear from you if you've got a story to share, or would like a particular topic covered, so please do get in touch. I hope you enjoy reading this edition,

New Tools for Carers my caring role what you need to know This booklet is designed to help carers who are unable to care for short periods of time, this may be due to illness, hospital admission or for any other planned or unplanned eventuality. Inside you are able to record information about yourself, the person you look after, their daily routine and weekly activities, as well as information about home life and emergency contact details. This booklet has evolved from the Personal Plan which many carers in East Sussex already use. If you have an up-to-date Personal Plan, don't worry, you shouldn't need to replace it until the details become out of date.

after caring information for carers at the end of their caring role Moving away from a caring role can be a difficult journey. When a loved one dies or moves to a residential care home, you may need to tackle a series of practical arrangements at the same time as coming to terms with such a big change in your life. This can be overwhelming and you may feel like you don't know where to begin or who to contact. During this time, it is important to look after your health & wellbeing - someone to talk to may be helpful , especially if you find yourself facing a mixture of emotions. You don't need to rush, so when you're ready, this booklet contains useful advice and information about where to start and who may be able to help.

Care for the Carers
Time on your hands? I have learnt new skills, met new people, gained confidence and helped others.
By giving you definitely get something back
Have you thought about volunteering? As the volunteer coordinator at Care for the Carers, my role is all about recruiting, training and supporting volunteers. I am a great advocate of volunteering, not just because it's my job, but because it has been a big part of my personal journey through life. As a volunteer myself
In my experience, many carers don't see themselves as carers, they are just doing what anyone else would in their situation. However, this can mean that they're in danger of missing out on support and services that are available. This is where I need your help.
Could you be a volunteer ambassador for Care for the Carers? We're looking for volunteers to help by promote Care for the Carers and raise awareness of the important role that carers play. With your help
we can ensure that carers, who don't see themselves as carers, are recognised and hear about the support they could get. We also have a variety of other volunteering roles at Care for the Carers and some involve as little as a couple of hours a month. You might like to have fun doing some fundraising or perhaps drive a young carer to club. Have a think, you may have a skill that could support us in some way. I appreciate that as a carer your spare time can be very limited and precious, but if you would like to get involved in some way give me a call, I am always happy to have a chat. My number is 01323 738390 or email me at email@example.com
Carers Voices Groups Would you like to have a more active role in tackling the key issues carers in your area say are important to them? We are looking for carers to join three new carers voices groups, each representing a different area of the county. These will be made up of 10 carers, and 10 representatives of organisations who support carers, from each area. Groups will meet at least 4 times each year. Any carer can apply to become a member of the carers voices group in their area. We are looking for members who can attend regularly, and can support you with respite care costs and travel expenses. To join a group or to find out more call us on 01323 738390 or email firstname.lastname@example.com
Information & support services for Carers they care for. I then feed back what you're saying to the decision makers to help change things for the better.
Support for learning disability family carers Hi my name is Sarah Stevens, I have been at Care for the Carers for about 4 ½ years and I run the Learning Disability Family Carers Involvement Project. The project helps family carers of adults with learning disabilities or autism to have their say on important issues about services affecting them and the people
Computer help at home for carers Do you have a computer, laptop, iPad etc? Is it sitting in a corner gathering dust? Have you forgotten your password? Do you lack the confidence to use it for certain things, such as Skype to keep in touch with family and friends, shopping or banking online, writing letters or sending emails? 6
Care for the Carers
As formal meetings are not always the best option for everyone, a network of family carers has been established which helps more carers to have their say in a variety of different ways. Every three months members of the network receive a newsletter (by e-mail and post) which includes useful information, a survey and an update on what you've been telling us - who's heard your views and what's happened as a result. Latest news and updates, including the newsletter, are posted to our Facebook Group, which is a place where carers can ask questions and discuss issues in a secure online environment.
If the answer is yes, to any of these and more, then you could benefit from the Association of Carers' Computer Help at Home service. This service is available in the Hastings & Rother area. Computer Help at Home is the perfect way to improve your IT skills and gain confidence using your own computer in your own home. They find a volunteer with good computer skills, who knows how to help with the kind of
Each month coffee mornings are held around the county, where family carers can come and have a 'cuppa and a chat' and say what's on their mind. There are also more formal meetings held throughout the year for carers to discuss issues that arise. Hearing from a wide range of family carers is an important part of the planning and development of learning disability and autism services. You have direct experience that can make a real difference. If you are a family carer of an adult with a learning disability or autism, we would love to hear from you. Please do get in touch! Call me on 01323 738390 or email me at firstname.lastname@example.com
problems you are having, who will come to your house for around 2 hours each week, for up to 6 weeks and help you feel confident using your computer. Volunteers are available to help provide this service, so if you would like to receive it, please get in touch with us on 01424 722 309.

Working together to improve health services for carers Carers included A collaborative team approach to mental health services. Sussex Partnership, the local provider of specialist mental health, substance misuse, learning disability and prison healthcare services, is working with carers in East Sussex and Care for the Carers to introduce the Triangle of Care in their Assessment and Treatment Services (ATS) across the county. ATS are the first point of contact for most people with specialist mental health services and are where your GP will refer you to if you or the person you care for needs help. They are organised around hubs in Hastings, Eastbourne and Newhaven with satellite services reaching inland.
The Triangle of Care is an approach developed by Carers Trust, with carers and health staff, to improve the involvement of
Care for the Carers
carers in mental health services. It sets out six key elements to achieving a 'Triangle of Care' between the mental health professional, service user and carer; seeing the carer kept involved and informed throughout the assessment, treatment and aftercare planning of the person they care for. Would you like to help make sure that mental health services value carers as partners in care; and keep them involved an informed in the treatment of the person they care for? To ensure that the six key standards set out in the Triangle of Care exist and remain in place within services; small teams of local carers, staff and carer organisations meet regularly to assess current practice and make improvements to services in their area. Join your local assessment team If you are interested in working with Sussex Partnership they would love to hear from you. Call Rachael Kenny, Patient and Public Involvement Manager, on 01273 778383 ext 2276 or email her at rachael.kenny@ sussexpartnership.nhs.uk and she will put you in touch with your local group.
Raising awareness of carers at the Conquest I'm Louise Smith and I am Care for the Carers' new Carer Awareness and Liaison Facilitator based at the Conquest Hospital in Hastings. I will shortly be joined by a colleague working in the same role but they will be based at the Eastbourne District General Hospital. It is my role to support the staff at the hospital to identify and support carers. The aim of the service is to improve the experience for carers when those they care for are inpatients at East Sussex Hospitals Trust. Having previously supported people with Dementia, I'm really looking forward to bringing my experience to this role. I am excited about this new opportunity and delighted to be part of the Care for the Carers team. I look forward to keeping you updated.

If you have a spare couple of hours once every six weeks and would like to help improve mental health services, come and join us.
Certain issues which are considered most important are taken up to the Carers' Reference Group for possible further action. The meetings are chaired by a member of staff and minutes are recorded and sent out to its members.
The Carers' Action Group was set up some years ago in order for carers to work together with Sussex Partnership NHS Trust's mental health services with the aim of improving services. Carers include those whose loved ones may live in the community, at home or as an inpatient.

Do you care for someone with dementia? The Sussex Partnership NHS Foundation Trust is looking for people living with dementia, and their carers to take part in dementia research. The Trust firmly believes that involving people affected by dementia, in dementia research is vitally important. Your input can help to target research and improve the quality of treatment and care both locally and nationally. You could make a difference to the direction of research to provide better treatments and services for the future.
you think about their research ideas. Already your feedback has prompted researchers to re-think their proposals, making their studies more likely to be of benefit to people living with dementia. In the small group meetings with researchers, carers have said "I felt I was really contributing" and "I think this is important research….it is under recognised". If you care for someone with dementia and you, or both of you, would like to give your views on current research into dementia please Jean Southey, Coordinator for Service User and Carer Involvement (Dementia).

As you may recall, earlier this year we postponed Hands on Caring. The course will now start in the first week of November and will run for seven weeks in Hastings, Eastbourne and Uckfield. Each half-day session is designed to guide carers through some of the key challenges they may face: the maze of organisations who can assist, the practicalities of emergency planning, first aid, all things financial, preserving your back, looking after yourself and finally how to get your voice heard. We hope Hands on Caring will be especially helpful for those new to caring, but all carers are welcome to attend. In our last edition I mentioned that one of our groups was so well attended that it had divided into two. Well, another group will shortly be following in their wake and I am hoping that by the end of the year we will soon have a group in the Havens.

New TN22 club for people with memory problems
The new TN22 Plus Club will meet fortnightly on a Wednesday and will offer a longer session -10.303.30pm - together with more activities, and will provide tailored support for those members with memory loss or dementia.
The TN22 Club, based in Hadlow Down, is expanding its service to offer support for people with memory problems and their carers, with the introduction of the TN22 Plus Club on 2nd October 2013.
As with the TN22 Club, the emphasis will be on a warm, welcoming atmosphere, companionship, varied and stimulating activities and, of course, a delicious freshly-cooked lunch!
Advocacy for Carers There's no requirement to attend the original club in order to join the TN22 Plus Club as it is open to all, but for those with memory loss or dementia we provide a high ratio of helper support to enable members to attend the Club either with, or without, their regular family support or carer. Launched in February 2013, the TN22 Club has gone from strength to strength with its provision of a fortnightly get together for lunch, socializing, singing and trips. Its success is due to the goodwill of an amazing group of volunteers, all with a desire to support older people in the community. The new TN22 Plus Club already has a small band of friendly, enthusiastic, well-trained volunteers but is seeking additional recruits, in particular those who have a passion for supporting people whose memory loss or dementia may affect their confidence in socializing or taking part in activities. If you would like to find out more about the new TN22 Plus Club, either as a member or a volunteer, please call Suzanne Hammond 01435 661054 (weekdays 9-5pm) or 07592 021590 outside of these hours.
Speaking up for carers in East Sussex POhWER, an advocacy charity helping people who experience disability, vulnerability, distress and social exclusion, is celebrating three years of giving "POhWER to the people" of East Sussex. Founded in 1996, POhWER provides information, advice, support and advocacy in the UK but has only been providing services in East Sussex since 2010. Regional Manager, Daniel Blake, said: "POhWER has been supporting many adults living in vulnerable circumstances across East Sussex for three years and their carers. We receive feedback from all of our clients and it is often very positive indicating that the POhWER has made a significant difference." POhWER's professionally trained advocates support 1000 people across Sussex every year. Kate Bowen is an advocate for POwHER in East Sussex and works with people who have a range of different needs and are facing serious challenges.
carer but has never had anything to do with services before it can be quite daunting - how do they know what the person they are caring for might be entitled to, how to ask for help from Adult Social Care, and what support may be available to them as carers?" Recently Kate worked with a carer who was having communication problems with her son's social worker, who she experienced as unsympathetic, Kate said: "Advocacy helped her to feel more confident and able to ensure both her and her sons views were taken into account when important decisions were being taken about his future." She added: "Sometimes, for a variety of reasons, people find themselves in disagreement with Adult Social Care and if they are not happy with the services they may want advocacy support to ask for a review, to challenge a decision or make a complaint."

Staying Healthy . Looking after your own health Winter flu jabs for carers As a carer you may be worried about getting the flu, not only because of the impact on your own health, but also because it could affect your ability to care for the person you're looking after. The Government offers the flu vaccine to the following groups of people: »» Everyone aged 65 years and over. »» Everyone aged six months or over who is in a clinical risk group.
»» People living in long-stay residential care homes or other long-stay care facilities where infection could spread easily and put lives at risk. »» People who are in receiving a Carer's Allowance, or who are the main carer for an elderly or disabled person whose welfare may be at risk if the carer falls ill. This will be given on an individual basis at the GP's discretion depending on your need.
welfare of the person you're looking after if you should fall ill, e.g. if there is no one else who would be able to step in. If you have health problems of your own, your GP should also check to see if you fall into one of the clinical risk groups. Your GP will decide whether you need a flu jab based on this information. For more information you should contact your GP Surgery.
If you're not aged 65 or over, tell your GP if you receive a Carer's Allowance or are the main carer for the person you are looking after. Explain your concerns for the

Well at Kiloran you can read a book in the bath; sleep until noon; visit the sights in London or just sit in the garden chatting to other guests, who are Carers - and share your problems, your highs and lows - with people who understand.

Monte Carlo Yachts 65
This Monte Carlo 6 presents in as new condition and represents a considerable saving on the new price. With low hours and a full time crew since new there is not a better example available in Asia today. The Monte Carlo Yachts 65 delivers comfortable cruising and a level of luxury and style comparable to much larger yachts. She is the ideal family yacht, easily handled by an owner driver with her joystick controller making marina operations a breeze but also suitable as a crewed yacht with her well appointed separate accommodations for a crew of two. This cabin may also be used as another guest cabin if required. The Monte Carlo Yachts 65 has an attractive sweeping sheer line and her bow is wide on deck with a pronounced flare to keep the spray away. The flybridge is well covered by a lightweight carbon hardtop which flows with, rather than against, the graceful lines of the yacht. The aft galley is ideal for entertaining in the cockpit or interior dining area and the raised forward saloon permits the guests to relax while enjoying the view from the large panoramic windows. A genuine reason for sale and a motivated buyer make this a must see boat.
Broker comment;
This is a superb example of the Monte Carlo Yachts 65. She has very low hours and presents in immaculate condition. She has been in the full time care of a professional captain since new.

ever so often you will see an image that catches your attention. This image captures my attention because of the simplistic nature of the pose and the lighting. I know for sure there was nothing simple about the shoot! My point is when you get it right and pull it off the result is this, a simply beautiful portrait!

Client Reviews for Hacienda La Viña
Another fantastic holiday. Already booked for Portugal and Same villa for Spain next year. Would recommend Vintage to anyone.
The villa was outstanding and in terms of geographical location and facilities it could not have been better. Georgina Lewis was fantastic, we arrived to find an extraordinarily comprehensive house book and this was followed by a visit which gave me plenty of information to make the most of our stay.... We will definitely be booking our next holiday with you.
To date we have often arranged our Easter/Summer family holidays via owners direct/English Country Cottages/James Villas - this was the first time we had used Vintage. I was struck from the moment we paid our deposit by the professional and supportive approach - attention to detail in the payment and booking process, incredibly helpful information pack, the diligent and helpful representative Georgina who met us at the property and the general sense that Vintage was there in the background concerned you had a great holiday. I had forgotten what a good holiday agent should be until this holiday. We shall definitely use Vintage again. Villa Hacienda Vina is a truly wonderful villa with breath-taking views, a comfortable all on one level living accommodation and great proximity to local villages and bigger towns and cities in the area. We will be back...
A very relaxing holiday in a lovely villa – just the ticket! Thank you all for making this special – great walks, food, locals and sunshine. We shall be recommending this to friends when we get back home.
The views, sunsets and sunrises are spectacular. The villa very comfortable (though the beds a little firmer than we're used to!). Apart from an initial stop en route we found the shops in El Gastor adequate for our needs.
We have always found Vintage Travel very helpful and the quality of the villas very good
The villa, pool area and views are all beautiful and we have spent time enjoying all! A trip to Ronda is well worth while, make sure you walk down to the gorge and look back at the bridge to fully appreciate it. La Posada was our favourite Tapas bar in El Gastor, but all were good – try them all. Zahara is a beautiful town, a walk to the castle is worthwhile. We enjoyed trying restaurants in Zahara too, El Lago and Bar Josefi, restaurants in main square all excellent. The cave paintings outside Ronda are excellent. The drive to Grazalema is beautiful, stop and enjoy the views.
This was a fantastic holiday for a family of four with there being so much to do for everyone. The views are amazing and the gentle breeze keeps you cool when sitting around the pool. We travelled so much during our week but a definite highlight was a trip to Jerez to see the Andalucia School of dancing horses.
Georgina has been absolutely brilliant, so helpful, informative and generous with her time. Raul (and Hacienda La Viña – breath-taking, beautiful, scenery, heat, eagles, vultures, lesser kestrels etc.) has been very kind and helpful too. We had a wonderful meal at Georgina's recommendation at La Posada in El Gastor and El Lago at Zahara. The friendliness and quality of Café con leche at the village café is not to be under estimated! We have seen many areas of Spain over the years – this unquestionably is the most unspoilt and friendly one we have been to – a wonderful holiday. Thank you very much.
Another fantastic 3 weeks at this beautiful villa. Once again enjoyed morning coffee in the square in El Gastor after doing our shopping in various village stores. A highlight of our visit this year was to visit El Gastor for the Corpus Christi celebrations. The village streets and houses are decorated with palms and flowers (an amazing amount of work goes into the displays) and there is a procession through the streets. Visited Seville, Ronda, Zahara and Grazalema, ate in local restaurants and spent quite a lot of time enjoying the pool at the villa and the stunning view. A wonderful holiday. Thank you to Georgina and Raul.

Last week I went into town with the Aged P however and bought one book (admittedly twice over, the second copy being a birthday present for my brother (who I fairly safely assume doesn't read this)).

Let's look at some names from the top 20 in scoring over there: Brandon Bochenski, Kyle Wilson, Nigel Dawes, Marcel Hossa, Dustin Boyd, Jonathan Cheechoo. That's a Who's Who of NHL has-beens and never-weres.
A consistent role in the top nine of a KHL team, regardless of age or any other circumstance, does not guarantee NHL success. Top production in the KHL does not guarantee NHL success! The leagues are too different to make an apples-to-apples comparison and prediction of future success. There are tons of players in the KHL that would never sniff an NHL ice surface. There are plenty of guys on KHL rosters that would be ECHL players were they to come stateside.
Buchnevich is having a good season. That he's established himself on a KHL team is certainly a good thing, there's no denying that. He has tremendous upside; that also can't be denied. I think he also has far greater "bust potential" than Skjei, Fast or Lindberg. Were we to rank guys purely on upside, I'd have Buchnevich higer up the list. I also take into account likelihood of reaching that potential, and what role a player could fill if he fails to fulfill his potential. Guys like the three I mentioned above, I see them as having a decent likelihood of fulfilling their potential, and I see possible roles for them even if they don't pan out fully. Buchnevich? I see a more slim likelihood of fulfilling his potential and no NHL role for him if he doesn't blossom into a top six offensive winger.
My view is slightly different re. bolded - these players you listed (and not listed the likes of Kovalchuk, Radulov etc) are the ones that were forced out of NHL because they were not good enough for top 6 roles and didn't have a skill set for bottom 6 energy or defensive responsibilities (or they might have the skills for such responsibilities but playing top 6 in KHL allows them to earn more $$). The point is most of these players are better quality than those playing in AHL.
Otherwise I'd stress out that Bush is 18 while Lindberg & Fast are in their twenties.
Add Nieves.

DevOps is all the rage, but there is still much misunderstanding about how one can realize the promises of DevOps in one's own organization. Fortunately, the DevOps movement is rooted in principles much deeper than buzzwords.
Before the terms "Agile" and "DevOps" became common monikers, lessons from previous engineering endeavors were forming a rich source of lessons and methodologies to fuel both movements. However, often the tie is not made between those precursor lessons and the seemingly "new" principles and practices of DevOps. This presentation will review those foundations, explaining why they are so critical to any organization which hopes to realize success with DevOps or Agile principles at scale.

The Struggle for Food Justice in Fair Trade
The Institute for Food and Development Policy/Food First analyses the root causes of global hunger, poverty, and ecological degradation and develops solutions in partnership with movements working for social change.
The Struggle for Food Justice in Fair Trade (By Christopher M. Bacon, Kaelin Holland and Eric S. George)
"For decades smallholder farmers and food justice advocates have used fair trade to build collective power by combining responsible consumerism and political awareness with a fairer and more environmentally sustainable market. Changes in fair trade certification enabled large corporations to enter this market, leading to a dramatic increase in sales—now topping $5 billion globally. Unfortunately, this growth has been accompanied by lower economic returns to farmers and disturbing social and political trends that threaten the future of the movement and suggest that fair trade is not as fair as it used to be."

Mall cinema planned
The commute for New Lynn residents to go out and see a movie may soon be cut short.
Kiwi Income Property Trust, which owns LynnMall, has submitted a resource consent application to expand the mall which includes plans for a cinema.
General manager of development Mark Luker says none of the plans submitted are confirmed and so far no timeline has been established.
"These are really our master plans. Right now we don't believe the retail market is strong enough for us to do the development," he says.
"What we would have to see is some sort of tenant demand before we could proceed. However our research has shown that a cinema and other entertainment has the potential to be successful today."
The last cinema New Lynn had was a Village 8 that closed its doors in June 2001.
Whau Local Board chairman Derek Battersby says this development would be another jewel in the crown that is New Lynn.
"One of the problems New Lynn has is how it is perceived. New Lynn is a great place to do business and it's constantly growing. When you look at the new medical centre and all the work going on down Great North Rd it shows that we are a town moving up in the world," he says.
"I think it would be amazing to get the cinemas back to New Lynn. People are always asking me when that's going to happen, now the answer looks like it's coming."
The development would not only increase the lettable floor area from 31,755 square metres to about 45,000 square metres but would mean a refurbishment of the current facilities.
The trust bought the mall in December 2010 and has spent the last year designing their master plan.
After five years a resource consent will expire if it has not been acted on, however an extension can be sought.

Hi priya,
Nice to see your mail. As per your scenario, I can confirm one thing, there will be user profile page in your application, which will store their locality with country name. And if I am not wrong it will changing user time into international standard time in back end. you need to test that thing, that logic should work fine. Send them international standard time to view video, and it should converted to according to their locality, when displayed to user. I hope you are getting my point. More I can tell when i know the application functionality.

Wow. wow. wow. I look at the calendar and all I can think is "What just happened?" It seems like it wasn't so long ago that we were hunkered down seeking shelter from the sweltering dog daze of summer. Tonight we get frost. Obviously a lot of time had passed since I last blogged - I mean there does seem to be something to be said for more variability in climate as we go full throttle into an anthropogenically enhanced interglacial period so weather alone could be misleading, but I know a lot of time has passed because our football schedule is almost over. And I have only one more exam to give to my intro class before the final (hallelujah!). And my 1 year anniversary of post-PhD-dom is almost here- yikes!
One of the stranger things I've gotten to experience lately is "courting" potential graduate students. I hope to get some good students to apply to the program and with any luck they will actually come to my department and work with me. But the whole process is a sort of sordid version of junior high school role reversals- you know, trying to seem as cool as you possibly can and even flaunting all the geeky lab-bling at your disposal. At least I haven't had to slow dance to INXS "Never Tear Us Apart"- yet - but prospects are good to have some good people working on projects with me- eager, excited, and full of geo-love.
I have to say that talking with these young'uns is hilarious- its like looking in a time-warped mirror of what I was back in my geology puppy-love days. I literally had more than one student say to me "I'm not exactly sure what I want to focus on- I just like it all so much!" Soooo cute! And I admit, put an outcrop in front of me and I pretty much start slobbering like a Labrador, and I even get the Pavlovian response to plotting new data or tweeking a figure to perfection, but all that does get a bit clouded by the publish-or-perish (or fund-thy-research-or-perish as may be more of the case) rat race that is academia. Of course, when it comes down to it, that excitement about rocks is always there, waiting underneath the to-do list of tedium necessary to keep institutions of higher learning operating. And in the end it makes this a pretty cool way to make a living!

This is a continuation-in-part of my copending U.S. patent application Ser. No. 29/109,829 filed Aug. 23, 1999 for Container Lid and Ser. No. 29/109,846, filed Aug. 23, 1999 for Plastic Pail.
This invention relates to plastic containers with removable lids for use in quick freezing of fruit or other foods.
Consumer tend to prefer frozen foods over canned foods for a number of reasons. Frozen foods tend to look better than canned foods. Also the canning process tends to produce greater changes in texture, appearance and taste than quick freezing.
In the conventional preparation of frozen fruit, after undergoing a washing operation, the fruit is placed in containers, after which the containers are sealed by application of removable lids and then subjected to a quick freezing operation. Fresh fruit are quick frozen in the dry state, or the fruit may be covered with a suitable syrup containing sucrose or some other sugar product. Examples of prior art methods for producing frozen fruit or other foods are provided by U.S. Pat. Nos. 2,780,551 issued Feb. 5, 1957 to D. G. Guadagni et al. and U.S. Pat. No. 3,377,172 issued Apr. 9, 1968 to E. J. Bensen et al. In a large scale operation a number of containers are subjected to quick freezing simultaneously. To maximize throughput in the quick freezing stage, it is desirable to stack containers one upon the other. However, a critical factor in freezing fruit in containers is to produce an even and complete freezing of the fruit, and stacking containers one upon the other tends interferes with the flow of frigid air or other gaseous freezing medium around the containers.
The primary object of this invention is to provide improved containers with replaceable lids for holding fresh fruit or other food that is to be quick frozen, the containers and lids being designed so that when the containers are stacked one upon the other, flow passages are provided between the containers for flow of a gaseous freezing medium such as frigid air.
The foregoing object is achieved by providing (1) a plurality of like containers each having projections or feet at its bottom end and (2) a plurality of lids for the containers, each lid being characterized by a rim portion having means for making a releasable connection with the top end of one of the containers, and a depressed center portion that coacts with the rim portion to define a contoured shallow nest for receiving the bottom end of a container that is placed on top of the lid, so that when two or more containers are stacked one on top of the other, (a) the bottom of a higher container is restrained against lateral movement by the lid of the next lower container, and (b) a gaseous freezing medium can flow between the stacked containers via passages that extend between the rim portion of the lid of the next lower container and the bottom of the higher container and also between the feet on the bottom of the higher container.
FIG. 1 is an exploded side view in elevation of a container and lid incorporating the present invention;
FIG. 2 is like FIG. 1 but with the container and lid rotated 90 degrees from the position of FIG. 1;
FIGS. 3 and 4 are plan and bottom views of the same container;
FIG. 5 is a fragmentary cross-sectional view of the bottom end of the container;
FIGS. 6 and 7 are plan and bottom views of the lid shown in FIG. 1;
FIG. 8 is a cross-sectional view taken along line 8—8 respectively of FIG. 7;
FIG. 9 is a fragmentary perspective view of the same lid; and
FIG. 10 a side elevation, partly in section, showing how the containers are disposed when stacked one upon the other.
In the drawings, like parts are designated by like numerals.
Turning first to FIGS. 1-5, there is shown a container 2 and a lid 4 which is adapted to make a snap fit connection on the top end of the container. The container and lid are both made of plastic by injecting molding. By way of example but not limitation, they may be made of polyethylene or propylene.
The container 2 comprises two relatively wide side walls 8A and 8B and two relatively narrow side walls 10A and 10B, plus a bottom wall identified generally at 12 (FIGS. 3, 4). Preferably the side walls 10A and 10B meet the relatively wide side walls 8A and 8B in a rounded corner configuration so that, as seen in FIGS. 3 and 4, the cross-sectional shape of the container is almost oval. The side walls 8A, 8B and 10A, 10B may be shaped so as to form a straight-sided container. However, it is preferred to have those walls slanted so as to form a tapered container as shown. The container has an external peripheral flange or lip 14 formed at its top end for interlocking engagement with the lid 4. Additionally, one or more external ribs 16 may be provided adjacent the top end of the container for aesthetic reasons and also to offer resistance to buckling of the side walls and facilitate gripping the container when it is desired to lift it.
Preferably the container is designed to be used as a pail or bucket, in which case two opposite side walls of the container are provided with means for pivotally securing a handle. In the illustrated embodiment of the invention this is achieved by interrupting the bottommost rib 16A at each of the side walls 8A, 8B and forming a pair of struts 18 integral with those side walls and also a short auxiliary side wall 19 that extends between struts 18 parallel to and spaced from side walls 8A, 8B. Struts 18 and short side wall 19 extend to and are formed integral with the second bottommost rib 16B where it is interrupted. As a result, at each of the side walls 8A, 8B, the struts 18 and side wall 19 form a handle support that defines an inverted U-shaped pocket open at its lower end to accommodate the hooked end of the U-shaped wire bail portion of a handle (not shown) for use in carrying the container and its contents. Each of the short side walls 19 is formed with a keyhole-shaped slot 20 for receiving and pivotally retaining the hooked end of the wire bail portion of the handle. Providing a plastic container with means for pivotally securing a handle is well known, as demonstrated by U.S. Pat. No. 5,873,482, issued Feb. 23, 1999 to Rino Conti for a Tamper-Evident Container Closure. An alternative bail support construction that may be used in practicing the present invention is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,489,849, issued Dec. 25, 1984 to H. J. Blanchette for Pivot Assembly. However, the bail support construction shown in FIGS. 1, 2 and 4 hereof is preferred over the Blanchette construction.
Turning now to FIGS. 1, 2 and 5, it is to be noted that the bottom wall of the container and the bottom ends of the side walls are contoured so as to form a plurality of spaced feet 24 and a plurality of openings 26 between the adjacent feet. Inwardly of feet 24, the bottom wall 12 is formed with a continuous section 28 that is slanted inwardly and upwardly and joins a center section 30. As a consequence, inwardly of feet 24 substantially all of bottom wall 12 is raised above the level of top edges of openings 26. Additionally, but not necessarily, the central portion of the bottom wall may have a further raised or domed portion 32 and a downwardly projecting circular ring 34 on its bottom surface. The domed portion 32 and ring 34 are merely for strengthening purposes and may be omitted.
It is to be noted that the thickness of the bottom wall is essentially the same throughout its length and breadth, the feet 24 being formed by contouring that wall, with the result that on the inside of the container depressions 38 are formed on the upper side of the bottom wall at the location of each of the feet 24. The number and spacing of the feet 24 and the width and height of the spaces or openings 26 is a matter of choice, but the openings 26 must be at least wide enough and high enough to permit flow of air between adjacent containers that are stacked one on top of the other, as explained hereinafter.
Turning now to FIGS. 1, 2 and 6-9, the lid 4 is formed with a crown 44 and a rim 46. The crown 44 may be flat throughout its length and breadth or it may be contoured. In the illustrated embodiment, the crown is contoured so as to form a raised section in the shape of a generally rectangular ring 48 for strengthening purposes and also for aesthetic value. As seen best in FIGS. 8-10, the rim has a generally U-shaped cross-sectional configuration, comprising an upturned inner wall portion 50, an intermediate and top wall portion 52 and a depending outer wall portion 54 that forms a depending skirt for the rim. The crown 44 is recessed in the sense that the rim portions 50, 52 and 54 all project above it. It should be noted also that the dimensions and configuration of the inner edge 58 (FIG. 9) of the inner wall portion 50 are such as to provide a close fit between that inner edge and the bottom end of a container (as described above) that is resting on the lid. The inner wall portion 50 is formed with four depressions 60, one at each side of the lid, to facilitate flow of frigid air or other freezing gas between the lid and the bottom end of a container supported on the lid. Depressions 60 are sized so that when the lid is secured to the top of the container, the depressions will be in radial alignment with at least portions of the openings 26. The depression-free corner sections 62 of inner wall portion 50 serve as restraints for preventing lateral shifting of a container that is resting on the top side of the lid.
It is to be noted that the thickness of the several wall portions of the rim are substantially the same throughout their length and breadth, except for certain hereinafter described features on its inner side. Turning now to FIGS. 4, 8 and 9, the inner edge of the outer skirt portion 54 is provided with means for releasably connecting the lid to the container. Such connecting means take the form of four inwardly projecting locking ribs 66 formed on the inner side of outer wall portion 54. Ribs 66 are shaped and sized to make a snap connection with peripheral flange 14 of container 2. If desired, ribs 66 could be replaced by one continuous locking rib. Preferably the ribs 66 have a triangular cross-sectional shape as shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, since the inclined inner surface of the ribs makes it easy to attach the lid to the container by a snap-action, while the flat annular upper surface of the ribs assures a secure connection to flange 14.
Still referring to FIGS. 4, 8 and 9, the lid also has a depending ring or flange 68 that follows the general peripheral contour of the lid. Flange 68 is formed substantially at the junction of the inner surfaces of rim wall portions 50 and 52. Flange 68 is sized so that it can extend down inside of the container (see FIG. 10) and make a relatively close fit with the inner surfaces of side walls 8A, 8B and 10A, 10B, thereby confining the upper end of the container between it and outer wall section 54, with peripheral flange 14 interlocked with ribs 66. This concentric arrangement of ring 68, the side wall of the container and outer wall section 54 assures that when a filled container is placed on and supported by the lid, as illustrated in FIG. 10, the force exerted by the supported container 4B will not deform the lid to the extent that would affect the security of its interlocking connection with the container 4A.
Referring now to FIGS. 8-10, when several containers (2A-2C) are stacked one upon the other so that lids 4A and 4B support containers 4B and 4C, the inner wall portions 50 of lids 4A and 4B restrain containers 4B and 4C against shifting laterally in any direction. More importantly, the depressions 60 of inner wall portions 50 of lids 4A and 4B are located and sized so as to be radially spaced from but in radial registration with openings 26 for all or most of the latter's circumferential expanse, whereby depressions 60 and openings 26 provide multiple passageways through which product-freezing gas can flow between the containers. Since openings 26 and depressions 60 are distributed around the peripheries of the stacked closed containers, product-freezing gas can flow fully through the space between the stacked containers, thereby assuring quick freezing of the contents at the top and bottom of the containers. Having a major portion of the container bottom wall 12 raised as shown in FIGS. 5 and 8 also is advantageous in that it maximizes the volume of freezing gas that can be present between stacked closed containers at any given time, thereby providing an increased heat-absorbing capacity between the containers which in turn assists in achieving quick and uniform freezing. In the absence of the passages provided by openings 26 and depressions 60, the freezing would tend not to be uniform from the container top to the container bottom.
In addition to facilitating quick freezing of the contents of stacked containers, the invention offers the advantage that containers and lids constructed as herein described can be made of relatively low cost and relatively strong materials, e.g., high density polyethylene. Another advantage is that the containers and lids can be manufactured using conventional plastic molding apparatus. A further advantage is that the containers and lids can be used to quick freeze other comestibles besides fruit. Still other advantages will be obvious to persons skilled in the art.
Obviously the invention may be practiced otherwise than as specifically illustrated and described. Thus, for example, the container may be modified by changing the number of feet 24 and the width and height of the openings 26. Corresponding changes also may be made in the lid, e.g., increasing or decreasing the number of depressions 60 in the lid. Also, the angle at which the inner wall portion 50 extends relative to the upper portion 52 of the rim may be modified. It is also contemplated that the invention may be modified to provide for attachment of the lids to the containers by a bayonet or screw connection, the sole requirement being that the lids be disposed so that when one container is stacked upon another, the depressions 60 of the container-supporting lid be aligned with the gaps or spaces 26 between the feet 24 of the bottom end of the supported container, so as to assure that passageways exist through which freezing gas can flow. Still other modifications will be obvious to persons skilled in the art.
