US 5392938 AAbstract
A one-piece snap hinge closure of plastic having a lower part and an upper part connected with each other via a film hinge. The intactness of the closure is assured by a security band. The security band is injection-molded to the upper part via bars which are used as predetermined breaking points. A bar on the lower part is engaged with the security band. The bar on the lower part can be placed in such a way that in the security position of the closure it is attached behind a tab on the upper part.
1. In a one-piece plastic snap hinge closure having a lower closure part (1) with a jacket wall (11) and an upper closure part (2) connected to the lower closure part (1) with a film hinge (4), wherein a security band (3) is injection-molded in one piece to the closure, the security band (3) having at least one recess (27) which is respectively engaged by a protruding bar (17) of the closure, so that the lower closure part (1) and the upper closure part (2) are locked together in a form-fitting manner, the improvement comprising: the security band (3) being injection-molded to the upper closure part (2) so that in a security position the security band (3) at least partially covers the jacket wall (11) of the lower closure part (1), the protruding bar (17) which is in engagement with the security band (3) in the security position being injection-molded to the lower closure part (1), the upper closure part (2) having a tab (7) which extends beyond an outer surface of the security band (3), and the tab (7) having a form of a U-shaped hoop forming a free space (23), between an outer wall (21) of the upper closure part (2) and an inner tab surface of the tab (7), of which the protruding bar (17) rests in the security position.
It is one object of this invention to provide a snap hinge closure of the previously mentioned type, which can be closed with little danger of destruction, which is suited for use with small closures, in particular for use with tubes, and which permits the provision of a large tab on the upper closure part.
FIG. 1 is a side view of a snap hinge closure in a security position according to one preferred embodiment of this invention;
A plastic closure according to this invention is shown in a security position in FIGS. 1 and 3, in which the plastic is mounted on container to be closed. In FIG. 2, the same closure is shown mounted on a tube. As is customary, the closure comprises a lower part 1 used for attachment to a container or a tube T, and an upper part 2 which is embodied as a cap. The lower part 1 and the upper part 2 are connected with each other in one piece via a film hinge 4. A security band 3 is injection-molded via bars 6 to the lower edge 2' of the upper part 2. The bars 6 form predetermined breaking points, which are destroyed when the security band 3 is removed. The snap effect of the plastic closure is caused in the illustrated embodiment by two spring elements 5, which approximately adjoin the film hinge 4 forming the main hinge axis. Each spring element 5 is in the form of a U-shaped, extendable spring, one end of which is fixedly connected via a first hinge point with the upper part and via a second hinge point with the lower part. A tab 7 is formed on the upper part 2 for operating the closure. The tab 7 has the form of a U-shaped hoop extending past the circumference of the security band 3. The tab 7 is positioned on the upper part 2 directly above the security band 3. The security band 3 extends over approximately one-half of the circumference of the closure. A greater length of the security band 3 than that shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 would be difficult to lock into the security position shown without destroying the most outwardly located bars 6.

Off The Record #22: "No Guitars" Tickets, Wed, May 30, 2018 at 7:00 PM | Eventbrite
Off The Record #22: "No Guitars"
We're back with an awesome theme (and album): "No Guitars". That's right: for one month, we're banning the six string (and its shifty low-end cousin, the bass).
We'll be listening to Danish singer/songwriter Agnes Obel, whose 2016 album "Citizen of Glass" explores piano, "old keyboards", strings and her haunting voice.
Our host for May will be Off The Record regular Lauren Armstrong, who points out that the album features an all-female band too. This is our first event after a break in April so we're hungry to share music together!
We'll be listening to this record in full on the night, but wait, there's more! After we've heard the main album, it’s over to anyone else who wants to play a single song that fits our theme: "No Guitars". We’re not too strict, but the idea is that you’ll pick a song from an album that breaks the mould when it comes to instrumentation: no guitar music! But maybe you can think of something else...
If you can think of a song matching this theme, then bring it along and share it with the group! If it’s on Spotify or you have it on a portable device, bring it along and you can tell everyone why you love the song (and the album).

Uncovering the Links Between Leadership and Mental Illness
By: Nassir Ghaemi
A First Rate Journey Into Resilience
By Pearl Glacier on 02-19-13
It was just simply awesome....
Reviewed: 06-05-15
Dear Future Readers
I wish our history books had shown and explained the insights of how mental illness helped save out world. This books captures that and more. The research done for each chapter is phenomenal. I listened to the chapters on the way to work. It is very hard for me to read because of my degree of blindness.
If history had shown mental illness in this positive light from the beginning, I don't believe the stigma attached would have even developed line it is today.
Speaking as a physician we see it as just another disease that needs to be treated. But the world continues to call that person "crazy". But in reality it is just a severe chemical imbalance that they were born with. They can't help it. Until you have a family member or a friend who has gone through this, you will never understand the daily struggle of cyclic emotions they endure.
People need to have empathy for the mentally ill. That is completely lacking till today. They are the "dark geniuses" of our world and with that comes massive brain power, amazing creativity, true realism, amazing peripheral vision and boundless empathy. They move the world. Without them we are ordinary. They have and will continue shape our lives everyday for the better.
My hats off to the author for writhing this so eloquently and truthfully.
Dr Ghaemi, thank you for writhing this book. It was just simply awesome ....

entity framework - Error Related to FK in One-to-Many Relationship - Stack Overflow
I am using EF 5 Beta 2 Code-First. I have created an edmx file which has 2 entities among others named Brand and Vehicle.
One Brand can have zero or more (many) Vehicles and every Vehicle should have a Brand (required). Vehicle has a foreign key named BrandID which is non-nullable.
Brand  +------------------->  Vehicle
(1)                  (*)
Also I did use EF 5 DbContext Generator to create POCO classes.
When I try to either Read or Write records, I get the following error:
error 3023: Problem in mapping fragments starting at line 155:Column Vehicle.BrandID in table Vehicle must be mapped: It has no default value and is not nullable.
Notice: I am using TPC inheritance mapping where Vehicle is an abstract base class from which 2 classes (Car & Motorbike) are being derived.
Here is class definition plus related fluent API code:
//------------ Class definiions ---------------
public abstract partial class Vehicle
public short BrandID { get; set; }
public virtual Brand Brand { get; set;
public partial class Motorbike : Vehicle
//--------------- Fluent API code ---------------
.Property(p => p.VehicleID)
m.ToTable("Car");
modelBuilder.Entity<Motorbike>()
m.ToTable("Motorbike");
modelBuilder.Entity<Brand>()
.HasMany(b=>b.Vehicles)
.WithRequired(v=>v.Brand)
.HasForeignKey(p => p.BrandID);
.Property(p => p.BrandID)
This is so strange since everything seems OK and has been checked several times.

Do you really have a Vehicle table as the exception says? I'm wondering because if you use TPC you should not have a table for the abstract base class, only for the two concrete classes Car and Motorbike. Also: Do you have a connection string with all the edm metadata stuff in it? I would expect that because apparently you use Model-First. But I'm wondering why you have Fluent API mapping code, which is Code-First and not Model-First. – Slauma Apr 1 '12 at 11:29
@Slauma: 1. Another strange thing - as you mentioned - is that I have a Vehicle class, while this does not happen for another abstract base class named Ad and its derived classes. 2. My connection string is as follows: <add name="IranCarContext" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" connectionString="Data Source=localhost;Initial Catalog=IranCar;Integrated Security=SSPI;" /> 3. About Model-First: first I used EDM Designer to model my entities visually. Then I used EF DbContext Generator to create POCO classes and DbContext. Finally I used EF + Fluent API to create the databse. – Kamran Apr 1 '12 at 15:48
Perhaps it would help if you show the full mapping in Fluent API for the classes above, especially also the TPC mapping. Having a navigation property (Brand) on the base class (Vehicle) is a possible problem with TPC: weblogs.asp.net/manavi/archive/2011/01/03/… (see section "Polymorphic Associations with TPC is Problematic" in this article). – Slauma Apr 1 '12 at 16:25
I have added Fluent API code to the main question above. Would you take a look please? – Kamran Apr 1 '12 at 18:07
TPC inheritance just doesn't work for this kind of model where you have a navigation property on the base type:
...using TPC in the EF forces you to avoid associations in your base type...
(Quote from here: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/alexj/archive/2009/04/15/tip-12-choosing-an-inheritance-strategy.aspx)
You must use TPT or TPH inheritance for your model.

The system includes a closure device having a pair of occluding disks, each disk being formed of a membrane and an elastically deformable frame carried about the periphery of the membrane. The frame, which may be formed of a superelastic material, is capable of being collapsed for passage through a catheter and elastically returning to a predetermined shape for tautly holding the membrane. A central portion of the membrane of each disk is attached to a central portion of the other membrane to define a conjoint disk. The method of the invention involves collapsing the frames of the disks, inserting the closure device into a catheter, and positioning the distal end of the catheter adjacent a septal defect. The first disk is then urged out of the distal end of the catheter to permit its frame to elastically return to a predetermined shape, pulling the membrane taut on one side of the defect. The second disk is then similarly deployed on another side of the defect, automatically positioning the conjoint disk within the defect to occlude it.
What is claimed is: 1. A septal defect closure device comprising first and second occluding disks, each disk comprising a flexible, biologically compatible membrane capable of being collapsed for passage through a catheter and elastically returning to a predetermined shape for tautly holding a portion of the membrane against a septum; a central portion of the membrane of the first disk being affixed to a central portion of the membrane of the second disk to define a conjoint disk having a diameter, a maximum dimension of at least one of the first and second disks being between about 1.6 and about 2.5 times the diameter of the conjoint disk.
