Southampton 2-0 Sheffield Wednesday - BBC Sport
http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/19632311
Two goals from Jay Rodriguez sent Southampton into the last 16 of the Capital One Cup at the expense of Sheffield Wednesday.
The home side dominated the first half and opened the scoring after 30 minutes when Rodriguez, 23, turned his marker to fire home.
Wednesday had chances after the break, with Nejc Pecnik proving dangerous.
Rodriguez ensured Saints' progression with a 78th-minute penalty after Joe Mattock brought down Steve De Ridder.
Southampton's victory means they are into the last 16 of the League Cup for the second successive year.
Southampton went into the game looking to record a second successive victory, having beaten Aston Villa at the weekend to record their first Premier League win of the season.
Wednesday, meanwhile, were hoping the cup competition would bring some reprieve from their league campaign, which has the Owls without a win from their last four Championship fixtures.
Rodriguez was a menace from the outset and he volleyed wide from Guly Do Prado's ball before the former Burnley man was denied by Stephen Bywater when one-on-one with the Wednesday keeper.
But the youngster gave the home side the lead with 30 minutes on the clock as he picked up a pass from Richard Chaplow and turned his marker before smashing the ball into the net for his first competitive goal for Southampton.
That strike prompted a spell of pressure from the hosts, who were only denied a second by the woodwork when Do Prado's header hit a post.
Wednesday started the second half better as Nejc Pecnik came close with an audacious volley from outside the box six minutes in, before the midfielder worked space for himself inside the box but could not get the better of Wednesday keeper Paolo Gazzaniga.
But there was no way back for the visitors when Southampton added a second 12 minutes from time.
De Ridder went down inside the box under pressure from Mattock and referee Mark Halsey pointed to the spot. Rodriguez stepped up and though Bywater got to his spot kick, the ball squirmed into the net to wrap up victory for Nigel Adkins's side.
Southampton assistant manager Andy Crosby:
"Jay Rodriguez is at a good age for the club and has taken his opportunity. We know he is most comfortable in a central role but he has good competition in front of him at the moment.
"Whenever you get an opportunity, you've got to take it and he did that. Whenever he is needed, we know he is more than ready.
"We had chances but we have to defend. We can't keep giving the goals away that we are.
"There are some good players in there but at the moment maybe one or two are not doing what they should be doing."

However, having really enjoyed helping her open her newest practice the prospect of working for and helping her in this regard may be, well, a blast ! Perhaps I am insane to think so.

Observer archive - Rock Around the Clock, 16 September 1956
Photographer Michael Peto and writer Anthony Samson visited the cinemas of south London to see what the Rock ‘n’ Roll fuss was all about.
Sat 15 Sep 2018 13.00 EDT Last modified on Mon 17 Sep 2018 07.45 EDT
This photograph of teenagers outside the Trocadero cinema in London’s Elephant and Castle, was on page one of the Observer.
Nobody in the one-and-tenpennies at the Lewisham Gaumont took much notice of the News. The Queen was being welcomed by the Marquess of Aberdeen. The pretty Teddy-girl next to us, with an apple face, short tousled hair and a pony-tail, had her feet up on the seats in front, and was smoking a cigarette.
She was fifteen, and she worked at a shoe-store at New Cross, she said. The boy on whose lap she was sitting was eighteen, on leave from the Army. They talked to the American girl next to me.
“What are American teenagers like? I bet they’re hep-cats!... But Americans got no one like Diana Dors. She’s gorgeous. I don’t like that Marilyn girl – she’s covered in make-up.”
The News ended. “I’m getting in the groove,” yelled a small boy, unconvincingly. Some more boys – all with the same cropped hair and long dark coats, sat down in a bunch.
The title appeared – ROCK AROUND THE CLOCK. There was a shout of “doyng” - a teenage cry. Then a loud, wild shout beat out, with a sudden throbbing like an express train rushing through a stations -
One, two, three o’clock, four o’clock ROCK!
Five, six, seven o’clock, eight o’clock ROCK!
Jiving in the Trocadero watched by a “left over from Doctor at Sea.”
Everyone roared the words, stamping feet on the carpet, and snapping his fingers, and swaying rather awkwardly in his seat. The noise was imperative, almost like P.T. Instructions. Shouting it to a cinema audience seemed a bit like playing a military march to a waiting room, or tickling a man in a strait jacket.
Just before the music stopped, the tamping stopped. The plot – about a dance-band promoter suffering from the dance-band slump – took over. “I’ve seen it five times,” said the soldier, “I’m going every night this week. You should have seen this place last night. Jiving on the stage they were, till the cops came.”
“They say ‘get out of it,’ and you say ‘O.K. make me,’ so they try and make you. It’s fun, that’s all.”
There were six policemen in helmets standing around the auditorium.
The plot reached the stage where the dance-band promoter was being taken to see a remote village dance hall. There was great tension as he approached. He pushed open the door and -
“We’re going to rock rock rock till the broad daylight.”
The audience roared the words as jivers whirled across the screen. The stamping and finger-snapping started again: everyone looked excited and tense, but not obsessed. Behind the two-and-ninepennies were very solid worried-looking people, presumably left over from “Doctor at Sea.” (It was supposed to be the main feature, with “Rock” as the supporting film.)
A boy in the front stood up and started jiving in front of his seat. A policeman appeared very quickly at the end of the row and pointed firmly at him. The boy hesitated for a moment, looked at his friends, and then walked sullenly out with the policeman, followed by some of his friends. There was a mutter of resentment, but the stamping went on.
One of the boys came back, “They got a meat-wagon in front, and they put Ernie in it,” he said. There was a lot of growling and then, half-way through the film, thirty of them trooped out, pulling faces at the policemen and jerking their knees towards them as they passed.
They came out on to the pavement where hundreds of people were waiting expectantly. Three policemen followed them, edging them down the street in a slow march. As soon as they got ahead of the police the ringleader of the group – a proud boy with a yellow scarf – shouted ROCK ROCK ROCK, and two girls with short curly hair and duffle coats started jiving rather primly, while everyone clapped. But there didn’t seem to be a quorum of jivers; the ringleader shouted: “Let’s turn round – the fun’s back there.” A police car glided up: someone shouted scornfully “The Law!”, and they all walked faster.
The “Troc” on the New Kent Road.
They came to a railway bridge, and shouted ROCK ROCK ROCK so that it echoed inside the bridge, and began jiving again. A policeman followed them and they shouted ‘The Law!” and went away. One of them walked up to the policeman, shouted “Toffee Nose,” and ran off.
They ran over to the island in the middle of the crossroads, and stamped and clapped and jived between the lamp-posts while the traffic rumbled past.
We’re going to rock around the clock to-night
We’re going to rock rock rock till the broad daylight.
The gay group of jivers looked very incongruous and Latin in the midst of the grey and solid surroundings of Lewisham – as if they were film extras in location for an Ealing comedy. They jived neatly, but self-consciously, giving quick glances at each other, and towards the police over the road. They shouted “Dig that crazy jive, man!” But they were far from “gone” Interest soon seemed to flag, and they broke into little groups and wandered down the road.
All around the Elephant and New Cross and Lewisham, the Juke Boxes are playing Rock ‘n’ Roll. “Man, it takes the energy out of you,” said one boy as he put his threepence in. Some of the tunes have been going for a year, but the film and the publicity from the riots have given them new attraction.
To the South London teenagers Rock ‘n’ Roll is something quite mysterious, and different from the old jazz. But to the jazz experts its pedigree is dull and not very respectable. Rock ‘n’ Roll, it seems, is a rough mongrel of blues and hill-billy, with some hot-gospelling thrown in. It’s novelty isn’t so much in its beat or tunes, as in the raucous, jungly accompaniment of a honking saxophone and crude guitar-strumming, and a very powerful beat. The result is a naked, aggressive kind of jazz which most jazz pundits despise.
All photographs by Michael Peto for the Observer/Courtesy of the University of Dundee, The Peto Collection.
The development of Rock ‘n’ Roll, as the story of the film suggests, is mainly the result of the dance-band slump in America and the demand for wider novelties. It is frankly, and triumphantly, commercial. It’s reception in England has been more spectacular than in America, where jazz and jive have been more firmly rooted, and where R ‘n’ R is only one development of many.
But in the long, bleak streets of South London, Rock ‘n’ Roll seems suddenly to have touched off frustration and boredom. London is still two cities; and South of the River it seems inconceivable that anyone should not know who Bill Haley is, and what is a “square.”
Dig That Crazy Jive, Man! by Anthony Sampson was published in the Observer on 16 September 1956

Fair of Peace and Fraternity of the Free World - Wikipedia
Fair of Peace and Fraternity of the Free World
(Redirected from Feria de la Paz y Confraternidad del Mundo Libre)
The Fair of Peace and Fraternity of the Free World (Feria de la Paz y Confraternidad del Mundo Libre) was an international world's fair that took place during the Trujillo Era in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic (then called Ciudad Trujillo) in 1955-56.
The fair was organized to honor Rafael Trujillo and his regime at the twenty-fifth anniversary of their rule[1] Alvarez Pina was nominated as president of the organizing commission in July 1955. A tract of land on the western edge of the capital was set aside for the fair grounds. Forty-two nations agreed to participate.[2] A new hotel, the El Embajador, was built with the penthouse for Trujillo's personal use. In the short time of only six months a majority of the construction was completed.[3] However, at the deadline of December 20, a third of the planned structures and exhibits were not yet ready.[2]
On December 20, 1955 Hector Trujillo cut the opening ribbon and Rafael Trujillo delivered the address summarizing his achievements.[2] Trujillo's daughter, the 16-year-old Angelita, was crowned as "Queen Angelita I" to preside over the fair. Accompanied by 150 "princesses" she wore a white satin dress bordered with 600 Russian ermine furs and a 75 feet train that had been commissioned for $ 80,000 at Fontana from Rome.[2] A military parade impressed the strength of the Dominican military.[4]
At the Plaza de las Naciones, the entry to the exhibition, two large sculptural pieces were erected, a harp intoning the winds and a colossus (Atlas or Apollo) with raised arms holding a dove and the universe; both structures were destroyed by Hurricane David in 1979.[3] Seventy-five permanent buildings were constructed for the fair. Xavier Cugat and his New York City Latin Band were contracted among others for entertainment.[5] Notable permanent buildings include the City Hall and the National Congress, both by Guillermo Gonzalez Sanchez, and the endangered Teatro Agua Y Luz by Carles Buïgas.[3][6] Industrial and agricultural exhibits accompanied the fair. A cattle exhibition was of special interest to Trujillo with his interest in cattle breeding.
Visitors included president Kubitschek of Brasil and dignitaries from many nations.[2]
Many physical structures of the fair survived; a number of the permanent buildings were turned over for use as government offices. Financially, however, the result was disappointing as attendance was below what had been expected and investments failed to materialize. The cost of $30 million was a sizable expense equal to a third of the annual budget. Crassweller judged the fair to be "a costly misfortune".[2]

The Silent Majority: Suburban Politics in the Sunbelt South / Edition 1 available in
Suburban sprawl transformed the political culture of the American South as much as the civil rights movement did during the second half of the twentieth century. The Silent Majority provides the first regionwide account of the suburbanization of the South from the perspective of corporate leaders, political activists, and especially of the ordinary families who lived in booming Sunbelt metropolises such as Atlanta, Charlotte, and Richmond. Matthew Lassiter examines crucial battles over racial integration, court-ordered busing, and housing segregation to explain how the South moved from the era of Jim Crow fully into the mainstream of national currents. During the 1960s and 1970s, the grassroots mobilization of the suburban homeowners and school parents who embraced Richard Nixon's label of the Silent Majority reshaped southern and national politics and helped to set in motion the center-right shift that has dominated the United States ever since.The Silent Majority traces the emergence of a "color-blind" ideology in the white middle-class suburbs that defended residential segregation and neighborhood schools as the natural outcomes of market forces and individual meritocracy rather than the unconstitutional products of discriminatory public policies. Connecting local and national stories, and reintegrating southern and American history, The Silent Majority is critical reading for those interested in urban and suburban studies, political and social history, the civil rights movement, public policy, and the intersection of race and class in modern America.

The present disclosure claims priority under 35 United States Code, Section 119 on the provisional application No. 61/088,428 filed on Aug. 13, 2008, the disclosure of which is incorporated by reference.
The present disclosure relates to an apparatus and a method for safely disposing medicines, and more particularly, to an apparatus and a method that allows conversion of medicines into an easy-to-dispose mass.
The present procedures for disposal of medicines, especially expired medicines and unused medicines, pose a serious threat to public health. People dispose the medicines present in their residences by either flushing the medicines in public drainage system (i.e., down their toilets or sinks), or by throwing the medicines out with other household trash. Medical institutions, such as hospices and nursing homes, also follow a similar procedure. They dispose the medicines, present in their premises or homes of their patients, by flushing the medicines in the public drainage system. Some medical institutions follow a procedure of dissolving the medicines in hot water, absorbing them in diapers or mixing them in cat litter, before throwing them in the garbage.
The medicines flushed in the public drainage systems reach municipal water or effluent treatment plants of municipalities. Medicines disposed of with other regular trash reach landfills, where they leach into water bodies present in the landfills or into groundwater. These water bodies or groundwater supply usually flow out to municipal water or effluent treatment plants.
The effluent treatment plants are designed to efficiently remove conventional pollutants, such as sand particles and bacteria, from water and may be incapable of completely removing the medicines from the effluents. As a result, water with traces of medicines may reach our homes through a municipality-based water supply, because of the effluent treatment plant's inability to remove the medicine materials from the water before returning such water to a municipal water supply for human consumption.
The consumption of water polluted with traces of medicines by humans and animals may develop give rise to serious complications. Further, the complications may develop slowly and may be undetectable for long durations of time. An inadvertent and continuous consumption of the medicines may therefore be highly detrimental to public health. Therefore, there is a need to develop an efficient system for disposing medicines.
Moreover, the present procedures of disposal of medicines, especially psychotropic medicines, increased the chances of access to these medicines by unauthorized persons, such as addicts. Psychotropic medicines are highly addictive, and therefore, may lure addicts. The addicts may resolve to means, such as stealing, to acquire the psychotropic medicines discarded by the medical institutions. Therefore, there is a need to develop an efficient system for disposing medicines that reduces risk of stealing of the medicines by addicts and other unauthorized persons.
Various conventional disposal systems have been developed for safely disposing medicines and hazardous medical wastes, such as needle syringes, pathological and dental wastes, and surgical gloves. Though these conventional disposal systems have been effective in disposing hazardous medical wastes, they may be ineffective in disposing medicines.
Therefore, there exists a need to develop an apparatus that allows safe and environment friendly disposal of medicines, thereby ensuring that our municipality water supply is completely free from any traces of these medicines. Further, there is a need to develop an apparatus that prevents any access of the medicines by unauthorized persons. Furthermore, the apparatus should be lightweight, inexpensive to manufacture and portable. Moreover, the apparatus should be convenient to use, so that the general public may be able to use the apparatus without any undue problems.
In view of the foregoing disadvantages inherent in the prior art, the general purpose of the present disclosure is to provide an apparatus and a method for safely disposing medicines, which includes all the advantages of the prior art, and overcomes the drawbacks inherent therein.
Accordingly, an object of the present disclosure is to provide an apparatus that allows a user to dispose of medicines in a safe and environment friendly manner.
Another object of the present disclosure is to provide an apparatus for safely disposing of medicines, such that the apparatus is lightweight, inexpensive to manufacture, portable and easy to use.
Yet another object of the present disclosure is to provide an apparatus for safely disposing medicines, such that, the apparatus prevents any unauthorized access of the medicines.
In light of the above objects, the present disclosure provides an apparatus for safely disposing of medicines. The apparatus includes a container assembly and a bag. The container assembly includes a container member having a bottom portion, a wall member extending from a periphery of the bottom portion and a top portion opposite to the bottom portion. The bottom portion and the wall member configure a housing capable of storing the medicines. Further, the container assembly includes a lid having one or more openings. The lid is integral to the container member and extends from a periphery of the top portion of the container member. The bag is capable of being attached to the container member. The bag includes a pair of gloves, one or more funnels, a first receptacle having a bittering agent, a second receptacle having a coloring agent and a third receptacle having a thickening agent. The pair of gloves is capable of being worn by a user for allowing hygienic handling of the medicines. The one or more funnels are capable of being configured in the one or more openings of the lid. The one or more funnels are capable of allowing receiving of the medicines for storing the medicines in the container member. The bittering agent is capable of denaturing the stored medicines, the coloring agent is capable of providing a characteristic color to the denatured medicines and the thickening agent is capable of converting the denatured medicines into a partially solid disposable mass. The partially solid disposable mass is capable of being incinerated, thereby safely disposing of the medicines.
In another aspect, the present disclosure provides a method for safely disposing of medicines. The method includes providing the medicines. Further, the method includes converting the medicines into a partially solid disposable mass, which is capable of being incinerated. Furthermore, the method includes incinerating the partially solid disposable mass, thereby safely disposing the medicines.
These together with the other aspects of the present disclosure, along with the various features of novelty that characterized the present disclosure, are pointed out with particularity in the claims annexed hereto and form a part of the present disclosure. For a better understanding of the present disclosure, its operating advantages, and the specified object attained by its uses, reference should be made to the accompanying drawings and descriptive matter in which there are illustrated exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure.
The advantages and features of the present disclosure will become better understood with reference to the following detailed description and claims taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, and in which:
FIG. 1A depicts a block diagram illustrating a method for safely of disposing medicines, according to an embodiment of the present disclosure;
FIG. 1B depicts a block diagram illustrating conversion of the medicines into a partially solid disposable mass, according to an embodiment of the present disclosure;
FIG. 2 depicts a perspective view of an apparatus for safely disposing medicines, according to an embodiment of the present disclosure; and
FIG. 3 depicts an unassembled perspective view of the apparatus of FIG. 2, according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.
For a thorough understanding of the present disclosure, reference is to be made to the following detailed description, including the appended claims, in connection with the above-described drawing. Although the present disclosure is described in connection with exemplary embodiments, the present disclosure is not intended to be limited to the specific forms set forth herein. It is understood that various omissions and substitutions of equivalents are contemplated as circumstances may suggest or render expedient, but these are intended to cover the application or implementation without departing from the spirit or scope of the claims of the present disclosure. Also, it is to be understood that the phraseology and terminology used herein is for the purpose of description and should not be regarded as limiting.
The use of “including,” “comprising,” or “having” and variations thereof herein is meant to encompass the items listed thereafter and equivalents thereof as well as additional items.
Further, the use of terms “first”, “second”, and “third”, and the like, herein do not denote any order, quantity, or importance, but rather are used to distinguish one element from another.
Unless limited otherwise, the terms “configured,” “disposed,” “placed,” “attached” and variations thereof herein are used broadly and encompass direct and indirect attachments, couplings, and engagements. In addition, the terms “attached” and “coupled” and variations thereof are not restricted to physical or mechanical attachments or couplings.
The present disclosure provides a method and an apparatus for safely disposing of medicines. The term ‘medicine’ as mentioned herein refers to a chemical or biological substance that may be used to treat, prevent or alleviate symptoms of a disease. The method for safely of disposing medicines of the present disclosure will now be described with reference to FIG. 1A and FIG. 1B.
FIG. 1A depicts a block diagram of a method 100 for safely of disposing medicines, according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The method 100 includes providing medicines, at 102. It should be understood that in the present disclosure, the term ‘medicine’ specifically refers to unused or expired medicines. It will be apparent to a person skilled in the art that medicines have a particular shelf life. The medicines that are left unused after the completion of the shelf life become impotent and sometimes harmful if ingested. Such medicines may be referred to as ‘expired medicines.’ However, it should be clearly understood that the method 100 described herein may also be used for disposing medicines that are unexpired.
The method 100 further includes converting the medicines into a partially solid disposable mass capable of being incinerated, at 104. The conversion of the medicines into the partially solid disposable mass will be explained in detail with reference to FIG. 1B.
FIG. 1B depicts a block diagram illustrating the conversion of medicines into the partially solid disposable mass. As depicted in FIG. 1B, the conversion includes treating the medicines with a bittering agent and a coloring agent, at 104 a. It will be apparent to a person skilled in the art that the term ‘bittering agent’ as mentioned herein refers to a nontoxic chemical or biological compound that is capable of denaturing a substance. In the present disclosure, the bittering agent includes denatonium benzoate (quaternary ammonium cation), which has a property of specifically denaturing alcohol and turning almost every substance bitter. However, it should be clearly understood that use of denatonium benzoate should not be construed as a limitation to the present disclosure. Therefore, use of other bittering agents capable of denaturing the substance they react with may also be considered in the scope of the present disclosure.
The term ‘coloring agent’ as mentioned herein may refer to a nontoxic chemical or biological compound capable of providing a characteristic color to the medicines denatured by the bittering agent. The characteristic color provided by the coloring agent makes the medicines unattractive. In the present disclosure, the coloring agent includes a red dye. However, it should be clearly understood that use of the red dye should not be considered as a limitation to the present disclosure. Therefore, other coloring agents capable of providing a characteristic color to substances they react with may also be considered in the scope of the present disclosure.
After the formation of the denatured medicines, at 104 a, the conversion further includes treating the denatured medicines with an aqueous agent, at 104 b. The treatment of the denatured medicines with the aqueous agent leads to formation of an aqueous mass. The term ‘aqueous agent’ as mentioned herein may refer to a chemical compound capable of providing an aqueous medium. In the present disclosure, the aqueous agent includes water or carbonated water (also referred to as ‘soda’). However, it should be clearly understood that use of water or carbonated water should not be considered as a limitation to the present disclosure. Therefore, other aqueous agents capable of providing an aqueous medium may also be considered in the scope of present disclosure.
The aqueous mass formed at 104 b, may then be partially solidified. The partial-solidification of the aqueous mass is necessary for easy handling of the aqueous mass. Further, partial-solidification of the aqueous mass prevents any spillage of the aqueous mass. To achieve this, the aqueous mass is treated with a thickening agent to form the partially solid disposable mass, at 104 c. The term ‘thickening agent’ as mentioned herein may refer to a nontoxic chemical compound capable of partially solidifying a substance. More specifically, a thickening agent may solidify the substance by reacting with any water present in the substance. In the present disclosure, the thickening agent includes sodium polyacrylate (also referred to as ‘acrylic sodium salt polymer’), which has a capability of absorbing as much as about 200 to about 300 times of water than its mass. However, it should be clearly understood that the use of sodium polyacrylate as the thickening agent should not be considered as a limitation to the present disclosure. Therefore, other thickening agents capable of solidifying a substance they interact with may also be considered in the scope of the present disclosure.
After the conversion of the medicines into the partially solid disposable mass, at 104, the method 100 includes incinerating the partially solid disposable mass, at 106. The incineration of the partially solid disposable mass produces only carbon dioxide and water vapors. Hence, the incineration in such manner allows a safe, clean, and environment friendly disposal of the medicines.
In another aspect, the present disclosure provides an apparatus for safely disposing medicines. The apparatus is depicted in FIG. 2 and FIG. 3. More specifically, FIG. 2 depicts a perspective view of an apparatus for safely disposing medicines, according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Further, FIG. 3 depicts an unassembled perspective view of the apparatus of FIG. 2.
As depicted in FIG. 2 and FIG. 3 , the apparatus 200 includes a container assembly 202 and a bag 204. The bag 204 is capable of being attached to the container assembly 202. The attachment of the bag 204 with the container member assembly 202 may be provided with the help of a fastener. However, it should be clearly understood that the capability of the bag 204 to be attached to the container assembly 202 should not be construed as a limitation to the present disclosure. Accordingly, in another embodiment of the present disclosure, the bag 204 may be placed inside the container assembly 202.
The container assembly 202 includes a container member 206. The container member 206 includes a bottom portion 206 a, a top portion 206 b opposite to the bottom portion 206 a and a wall member 206 c extending from a periphery 206 d of the bottom portion 206 a. The bottom portion 206 a and the wall member 206 c configure a housing (not shown) capable of storing medicines and the bag 204 therein.
The container member 206 is cubical in shape. However, it should be clearly understood that such shape of the container member 206 should not be construed as a limitation to the present disclosure. Therefore, the container member 206 may be of other suitable shapes known in the art, such as a cylindrical shape. Furthermore, the container member 206 may be of any suitable size. In the present disclosure, the container member 206 has a volume sufficient enough to store about 2 quarts of medicines.
Further, the container member 206 may be composed of a material selected from the group consisting of a biodegradable material and a recycled material, such as a post-consumer material similar to that used for making milk cartons. In the present disclosure, the container member 206 is composed of a recycled material. The use of biodegradable material may ensure that the container member 206 is capable of natural degradation, thereby preventing any pollution that may be caused to environment due to disposal of the apparatus 200. Further, the use of the biodegradable material and the recycled material may make the apparatus 200 lightweight. However, it should be clearly understood that use of such materials in the container member 206 should not be construed as a limitation to the present disclosure. Therefore, the container member 206 may be composed of other materials, such as a non-biodegradable polymeric material.
The container assembly 202 further includes a lid 208 having one or more openings 208 a (only one opening 208 a depicted in FIG. 2). The lid 208 is integral to the container member 206. The opening 208 a may be in form of a spout extending from a surface of the lid 208. More specifically, the lid 208 extends from a periphery 206 e of the top portion 206 b of the container member 206. Moreover, the opening 208 a is capped using a cap 208 b screwed on the opening 208 a to insulate contents of the container member 206.
Even more specifically, the lid 208 includes a pair of concave inclining members 208 c, with a concave inclining member of the pair of concave inclining members 208 c, including the opening 208 a. Further, a first set of longitudinal edge portions 208 d (distal to the top portion 206 b of the container member 206) of the pair of concave inclining members 208 c, is removably configured to each other, such that surfaces of the pair of concave inclining members 208 c form an acute angle with respect with each other and thereby configure the lid 208. The removable configuring of the first set of longitudinal edge portions 208 d may be provided with a fastener (not shown). The fastener may fasten the first set of longitudinal edge portions 208 d, thereby closing the lid, or may unfasten the first set of longitudinal edge portions 208 d, thereby opening the lid.
However, it should be clearly understood that such configuration of the lid 208 is only for exemplary purposes and should not be construed as a limitation to the present disclosure. Therefore, the lid 208 may be of a shape in accordance to the shape of the container member 206 or any other shape, such as a circular shape. Further, the lid 208 may be of a size in accordance with the size of the container member 206. Moreover, the lid 208 may be composed of a material similar to the material used for manufacturing container member 206. In the present disclosure, the lid 208 is composed of a recycled material, similar to that used in the container member 206.
It should be understood that the lid 208 is capable of insulating the medicines stored in the container member 206, thereby minimizing chances of any undesirable reaction between the stored medicines and external environment. Further, the lid 208 protects contents of the bag 204, when it is placed inside the container member 206. Furthermore, the lid 208 ensures that any odor that may be produced by the stored medicines is confined inside the container member 206. Moreover, the lid 208 may restrict access of the medicines stored inside the container member 206.
As depicted in FIG. 2, the bag 204 includes a pair of gloves 204 a, one or more funnels 204 b (only one funnel 204 b depicted in FIG. 2 and FIG. 3 ), a first receptacle 204 c having a bittering agent, a second receptacle 204 d having a coloring agent and a third receptacle 204 e having a thickening agent. The bag 204 is similar to conventional reclosable bags, such as a zip-lock bag. Further, the bag 204 may be composed of polymeric materials, such as plastic materials, or biodegradable materials.
In another embodiment of the present disclosure, the apparatus 200 may include various components of the bag 204, such as a pair of gloves 204 a, one or more funnels 204 b, a first receptacle 204 c having a bittering agent, a second receptacle 204 d having a coloring agent and a third receptacle 204 e having a thickening agent, placed individually in the container member 206 of the container assembly 202. Therefore, it should be understood that the bag 204 may be excluded from the apparatus 200 according to such embodiment.
Now referring again to FIG. 2, the pair of gloves 204 a is capable of being worn by a user. It should be understood that the pair of gloves 204 a may be similar in shape and size to conventional gloves known in the art and may be composed of materials known in the art. More specifically, a user when intends to handle the medicines may wear the pair of gloves 204 a. The wearing of the pair of gloves 204 a ensures a hygienic handling of the medicines. Further, after the use the pair of gloves 204 a may be disposed.
The funnel 204 b is capable of being configured in the opening 208 a of the lid 208. The funnel 204 b may be similar in shape and size to funnels known in the art. Further, the funnel 204 b may be composed of materials known in the art. In the present disclosure, the funnel 204 b is composed of a recycled paper material. The funnel 204 b allows receiving of the medicines in the container member 206. More specifically, the user may wear the pair of gloves 204 a, configure the funnel 204 b in the opening 208 a of the lid 208 and then insert the medicines in the container member 206. Further, the funnel 204 b may be disposed after use.
The first receptacle 204 c is similar to a vial known in the art. Further, the first receptacle 204 c includes a bittering agent, which is similar to the bittering agent described above. Accordingly, the bittering agent may be capable of denaturing the medicines stored in the container member 206. The second receptacle 204 d is similar to a packet known in the art. Further, the second receptacle 204 d includes a coloring agent, which is similar to the coloring agent described above. Accordingly, the coloring agent may be capable of providing a characteristic color to the medicines denatured by the bittering agent. The third receptacle 204 e is similar to a bottle known in the art. Further, the third receptacle 204 e includes a thickening agent, which is similar to the thickening agent described above. Accordingly, the thickening agent may be capable of converting the denatured medicines into a partially solid disposable mass. It should be understood that the partially solid disposable mass capable of being incinerated leading to a safe and environment friendly disposal of the medicines.
To use the apparatus 200 for safely disposing of medicines, the user is required to follow the following procedure. Firstly, the user may unfasten the fastener of the lid 208 and retrieve the bag 204. Thereafter, the user may unzip the bag 204 and remove various contents thereof. The user may then wear the pair of gloves 204 a and remove the wrapper of the medicines that are required to be disposed. Thereafter, the user may fasten the fastener of the lid 208, and may uncap the cap provided on the opening 208 a of the lid 208. Further, the user may configure the funnel 204 b to the opening 208 a of the lid 208 and insert the medicines in the container member 206 using the funnel 204 b. After the medicines are stored inside the container member 206, the user may treat the medicines with the bittering agent and the coloring agent, by pouring the bittering agent from the first receptacle 204 c and the coloring agent from the second receptacle 204 d, on the medicines. The user may employ the funnel 204 b for this purpose. Further, it should be understood that the bittering agent and the coloring agent may be poured in specific amounts. The bittering agent denatures the medicines, whereas the coloring agent provides a characteristic color to the medicines. Thereafter, the user may treat the denatured medicines with an aqueous agent by filling the container member 206 with an amount of aqueous agent, sufficient to completely submerge the denatured medicines. After the treatment with the aqueous agent, the user may cover the container member 206 with the lid 208.
After the placement of the lid 208, the user may shake the apparatus 200 vigorously for about 10 seconds to about 15 seconds. It should be understood that the user may employ additional shaking mechanism for shaking the apparatus 200. Thereafter, the user may again remove the lid 208 and treat the aqueous mass formed in the container member 206 with a thickening agent, by pouring the thickening agent from the third receptacle 204 e on the aqueous mass. The user may then replace the lid 208 and again shake the apparatus 200 for about 15 seconds. The treatment of the aqueous mass with the thickening agent may convert the aqueous mass into a partially solid disposable mass. This partially solid disposable mass is capable of being incinerated. Hence, the user may incinerate the container assembly 202 along with the partially solid disposable mass at the disposal site. Since the container assembly 202 is composed of nontoxic combustible materials, it will burn along with the partially solid disposable mass, producing almost no pollutants. It will be apparent to a person skilled in the art that disposing the medicines in such manner will reduce the efforts of the user in disposing the partially solid disposable mass separately and will eliminate any possibility of any spillage, thereby providing easy transport of the partially solid disposable mass. Furthermore, it will be apparent to a person skilled in the art that incinerators usually generate electricity for domestic consumptions. Therefore, the disposal of the medicines in such manner may additionally contribute to the generation of electricity used for domestic consumption.
In addition to the foregoing description of the apparatus 200, and with respect to shapes and sizes of various components thereof, it should be understood that the apparatus 200 may be manufactured in various customized sizes. Furthermore, the apparatus 200 may include a logo, such as logo 210, embedded or imprinted on at least one of the various components, such as the container member 206, thereof. In another embodiment of the present disclosure, the apparatus 200 may include a logo ‘Ecologically Friendly Medication Disposal Container’ or ‘EFMDC’ embedded or imprinted on the container member 206 of the apparatus 200.
Based on the foregoing, the present disclosure provides an apparatus, such as the apparatus 200, that allows safe and environment friendly disposal of medicines.

Chapter 1Just the Facts:What Your Guidance Counselor Isn't Telling You About CollegeYou can do a lot of things if you don't know you can't.-- Sam Brownback, U.S. Congressman You had about ten years of bliss. From six to sixteen almost no one asked you what you wanted to be when you grew up. Junior year of high school hits and whammo! Suddenly you're supposed to have all the answers. And you don't, do you? Well frankly, if you did it would be a miracle. At sixteen it's doubtful that your work experience extends beyond the local mall. The truth is, it's a rare person who's sure what they want to do with their life at age thirty, let alone thirteen. OK, so here's the problem. Just because you don't know what you should do with your life doesn't mean no one else does. We're talking parents, grandparents, guidance counselors, the mailman . . . everybody's got an opinion. Unfortunately, your uncertainty makes you a prime target--you might as well be wearing a sandwich sign scrawled Please Advise. In other people's eyes, you're like a fresh lump of clay, waiting to be molded. Your Uncle Morris wants you to be a lawyer. Your mom tries to convince you that accounting is making a comeback. Plastics, your neighbor winks.And then it comes, like a life preserver thrown over the edge of a sinking ship . . . the college option. Four heavenly years of keg parties and career postponement. A sticker from the college of your choice slapped onto the bumper of your proud parents' car. There's no doubt about it. In this day and age, going straight to college is the obvious choice. So obvious, in fact, that few people consider doing otherwise. Before I shatter your illusions, let's get one thing straight--this book isn't meant to convince you that college is a waste of time. I spent four years behind university walls and I don't regret it for a minute. What this book is meant to do is open your mind to a sea of options you may never have considered, so convinced were you that college was the only ride down the rainbow to the pot of gold. Let me throw a curveball your way--you can succeed in life without a college degree. Almost 20 percent of this year's Fortune 400 Richest People did. History Lesson Heading straight to college may seem like a given now, but this wasn't the case for most of the century. Before World War II, only one in six Americans went on to college. Then along came a little thing called the GI Bill, meant to make it possible for former soldiers to get an education. Suddenly the college gates were thrown open and the stampede began. It's only in the past fifty years that college was transformed from the exception to the rule. Since the end of World War II, the number of entering freshmen has shot up from 15 to 65 percent. College is being touted as the new necessity.Which would be fine if it were true. News flash: 70 percent of all jobs in the United States only require alternative education and on-the-job training. Don't get me wrong. I'm in no way trying to say that college is useless. Higher education is a wonderful thing. But be aware that it's also a two-hundred-billion-dollar industry. It's no accident that the national opinion about the necessity of a college degree has changed--it's the result of years of hard-core marketing. Never before have so many students been told that college is the way to go. A study by the U.S. Department of Education showed that a whopping 65 percent of 1990's high school sophomores reported being told by their guidance counselors that they should apply to college--twice as many as in 1980. Even students who scored in the lowest quarter of their high school class were being pressured to apply--never mind the fact that they showed little interest in hitting the books. The Big Lie When I was a kid, my mom would never make me peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. She told me I didn't like them. I grew up eating peanut butter sandwiches and jelly sandwiches, but never mixing the two. Truth is, I didn't try a peanut butter and jelly sandwich until I was about twenty. Strangely enough, I loved it. All those years my mom had told me that I hated PB&J. And I believed her. Turns out it was my mother who hated it, not me. I had been subtly brainwashed . . . So big deal. I ate tuna fish. In this particular case, the consequences weren't drastic. But college is another story. All across America, high school students are being told that college is their admission ticket to life, as if their diploma will pave the road to certain success. The truth is that there are more college graduates than there are jobs that require a degree. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, there were 28,983,000 college graduates in the labor force in 1990. Twenty percent of them were underemployed--working in jobs that didn't require a degree. And despite the contention that college will land you a fat little paycheck, statistics from the Bureau show that more than one fifth of college graduates earn less than $23,317--the median for kids with no more than a high school diploma. It's true that college opens doors for a lot of people. But be aware that each year a large chunk of college kids graduate and wind up working behind the same Starbuck's counter as their GED brethren. This isn't meant to depress...

Nice Environment and Food Served Hot
Have only visited this restaurant once before not long after they first opened, as wasn't a fan of their other restaurant in Erdington. This restaurant is very spacious, plenty of parking and is furnished nicely. Nice bright restaurant, most of the staff are very friendly. Good variety of food and it was all served hot. Plenty of choice for a Sunday evening and even traditional sunday lunch available as well as sushi and all the traditional chinese food. Lovely deserts and plenty for children to enjoy too. Found it a little pricey compared to other buffets I use, especially for myself and a young child aged 4, so not somewhere I would frequent very often but be happy to visit again.

Gone down hill since we last visited
When this place first opened we loved it, fantastic food and staff (but rather expensive so didnt visit often).
As it had been about a year since we last visited we decided to go at on a Saturday lunch time (about 2pm).
The standard of food was poor and was mostly empty with what looked to be topped up with further scraps.
It didnt help I had to sit next to a table of people who smelt of stale piss (not the fault of the restaurants of course)
Staff not to friendly or bothered about anything,
Quite dissapointed, recently discovered another buffet restaurant which is fantastic so will be going there from now on.

WESTWAY PLAN WINS FINAL U.S. APPROVAL; BOON TO CITY IS SEEN - The New York Times
Archives|WESTWAY PLAN WINS FINAL U.S. APPROVAL; BOON TO CITY IS SEEN

WESTWAY PLAN WINS FINAL U.S. APPROVAL; BOON TO CITY IS SEEN
By RALPH BLUMENTHAL JAN. 5, 1977
The Westway, the controversial project to replace the collapsing West Side Highway with a $1.16 billion Interstate highway south of 42d Street, won its final go‐ahead from the Federal Government yesterday, as expected.
The far‐reaching decision, announced here by the Secretary of Transportation, William T. Coleman Jr., was immediately hailed by Governor Carey, Mayor Beame and business and labor leaders as a major step toward revitalization of the city.
Project officials said that the construction, which will take at least 10 years, could begin in about a year.
Renewed Opposition Vowed
However, opponents of the. 4.2‐mile six‐lane roadway, including six members of the city's Congressional delegation and a coalition of environmental groups that has sued to stop the Westway, vowed yesterday to step up their fight.
“The project has a long way to go before construction actually gets under way,” warned Representative Edward I. Koch, Democrat‐Liberal of Manhattan, in a statement also signed by five of his New York colleagues in the House.
But strong opposition suddenly ceased from another quarter—Borough President. Percy E. Sutton of Manhattan. Yesterday, Secretary Coleman announced that he had spoken to Mr. Sutton and had been authorized to say the Borough President approved of the Westway go‐ahead. Mr. Sutton did not return a call to his office seeking the explanation for his switch.
Proponents of the project say it will result in 20,000 jobs, including 15,000 man‐years of on‐site construction work. Critics say mass‐transit construction would generate even more jobs.
Old Stretch to Be Razed
The Westway plan calls for demolishing the 40‐year‐old dilapidated elevated highway between the Battery and 42d Street—a segment already closed to traffic following the 1973 plunge of a truck through crumbling concrete.
Replacing this would be a mostly sunken Interstate highway, partly covered and partly open; that would tunnel through 181 acres of new landfill between the Battery and 26th Street. The road would connect to the Brooklyn‐Battery, Holland and Lincoln tunnels and the existing elevated highway north of 42d Street.
The plan also calls for creation of 93 acres of new parkland and 110 acres for commercial, residential and industrial development.
Trucks, which were barred from. the old West Side Highway, would be permitted on Westway‐a boon to downtown merchants. But trucks would have to exit northbound at 42d Street. The city has applied to Washington for a grant to plan an expanded “transitional” roadway between 42d and 72d Streets, which would allow for truck’ travel as far as 59th Street. Opponents of Westway charge that what planners really have in mind is an eventual extension of the Interstat to the George Washington Bridge.
The cost has been put at $1.156 billion. Of this, the Federal Government would pay $1.040 billion, or 90 percent, under the national Interstate System highway construction program financed by gasoline taxes and other user levies. New York State would pay the remaining 101 percent, or $116 million.
Announcing his approval of the project’ at a crowded news conference in Governor Carey's midtown office at 1350 Avenue of the Americas, Secretary Coleman said:
“I have decided that Westway is sound transportation facility that is vital to the strength and future of New York City. No other highway project in this country has involved such extensive community participation and sensitive planning to assure acceptable design features.”
Beanie Halls the Move
He added, “The highway will result in Unproved environmental conditions and will enhance social objectives by creating new land for parks, recreational areas and housing and commercial areas.”
Governor Carey, quipping that as Secretary Coleman spoke, “I could hear the money flowing,” praised the decision and called the Westway “a milestone” in the effort “to save and revitalize the city.”
“It will provide,” he said, “a broad economic and social stimulous—and, it important to remember, at no cost to the City of New York.”
Mayor Beame called the decision “a vote of confidence in the City of New York and a welcome harbinger of an economic upsurge in our city during the years ahead.”
Following them. David Rockefeller, chairman of the Chase Manhattan Bank and chairman of a task force of business and labor leaders called the Business/Labor Working Group, cited the group's finding that over the years the Westway would generate $7 billion in private investments connected and unconnected with the roadway.
The vice chairman of the group, Harry Van Arsdale, president of the Central Labor Council. AFL‐CIO, called the project “vital” for putting unemployed construction men to work.
Among the assurances Secretary Coleman sought and received before approving the project were that there would by no labor strikes or work stoppages and blacks, Hispanics and other minority groups would receive a fair share of the construction jobs.
In a conscious effort to couple the approval of the ‐massive highway project with, something for mass‐transit advocates, Secretary Coleman also announced yesterday a $78.5 million Federal grant to the Metropolitan Transportation Authority for operating assistance. He called this “the largest single grant” of its kind ever.
However, city officials, while welcoming the announcement, said the money had been expected as part of some promised grants.
Secretary Coleman noted that during his 20‐month tenure, the Federal Urban Mass Transportation Administration has approved $520 million in capital grants and $129 million in operating assistance to the city.
The opposition to the Westway by mass‐transit advocates was clearly on Mr. Coleman's mind. He particularly sought to„discount the feasibility of transfering the highway money to transit projects. Under Federal law, states due for designated Interstate highways can elect to transfer at least half the money to transit projects.
However, because Westway is still officially carried on the books as a smaller scale, $400 million highway, Federal officials say, the transfer funds would not yield anywhere near the $1 billion advocates of the shift say would result.
Procedure on Transfers
Moreover, Secretary Coleman noted, such transfers must be initiated by the governors and Mr. Carey stands firmly in support of Westway.
Nevertheless, the Ad Hoc Committee against the Interstate Highway, one of the opposition groups that picketed against Westway outside Governor Carey's office yesterday, said that applying the road money to mass transit could save the city up to $1 billion in dent service alone over 10 years. Mass transit construction would also generate more jobs than road‐building, the group asserted.
And now that the highway project has an official valuation of over $1 billion, the claim for transferring it to mass transit uses is stronger, said Representative Koch and the other co‐signing members of Congress: Benjamin S. Rosenthal, Theodore S. Weiss, Charles B. Rangel Elizabeth Holtzman and Jonathan D. Bingham.
In the immediate area of Westway, two community boards favor the project; one opposes it. Also favoring it is the Council of Chelsea Block Associations representing several thousand neighborhood residents.
Even before the Westway decision was announced, the city began planning the removal of the existing shut‐down high way superstructure. Demolition bids for the first section between Jane and 14th Streets will be opened Jan. 13. Work could start a month later.
