US 4897527 AAbstract
1. A fabric press comprising:a press operable to perform a fabric pressing cycle with a heating element; a temperature sensor; means for timing; and a controller arranged to apply electrical power initially to the heating element for a predetermined boost period of said fabric pressing cycle during which the press temperature is limited to a boost temperature, and then, at the end of the predetermined boost period, to reduce the applied power and thereafter control the power in a further period of said fabric pressing cycle to maintain the press temperature at a substantially lower normal temperature until a pre-set time has elapsed. 2. A fabric press according to claim 1 wherein the boost temperature is in the range of 65° C. to 90° C. and the normal temperature is at least 10 degrees C. less than the boost temperature and is in the range of 55° C. to 65° C.
6. A fabric press according to claim 5, wherein the controller includes:a comparator for comparing the sensor temperature with the pre-set temperature to produce comparison signals, a multiplexer arranged to supply to the microprocessor said comparison signals from said comparator during half of each supply cycle, and during the other half of each supply cycle providing signals representing the settings of pre-set time and temperature controls. 7. A method of operating a fabric press having a heating element, a temperature sensor and timing means, comprising the steps of:applying the electrical power to a heating element during an initial predetermined boost period of a fabric pressing cycle during which the press temperature is prevented from exceeding a predetermined boost temperature, reducing the applied power in a further period of said fabric pressing cycle, and controlling the power to maintain the press temperature at a substantially lower normal temperature than the predetermined boost temperature for a pre-set time in said further period of said fabric pressing cycle. 8. A method according to claim 7, wherein the boost temperature is in the range of 65° C. to 90° C. and the normal temperature is at least 10 degrees C. less than the boost temperature and is in the range of 55° C. to 65° C.

Starview by Larry O'Neal | NOOK Book (eBook) | Barnes & Noble®
by Larry O'NealLarry O'Neal
Starview details the absurd trials of Artie Damundssun, a freelance writer commissioned to ghostwrite the autobiography of Sonny 'C-Note' Starview, an aging, has-been country music superstar. Artie's plan to spend a weekend interviewing the singer in his small Tennessee hometown turns troublesome when he determines the gathered information to be ridiculous, apocryphal
Starview details the absurd trials of Artie Damundssun, a freelance writer commissioned to ghostwrite the autobiography of Sonny 'C-Note' Starview, an aging, has-been country music superstar. Artie's plan to spend a weekend interviewing the singer in his small Tennessee hometown turns troublesome when he determines the gathered information to be ridiculous, apocryphal, and wholly unprintable. Artie becomes less interested in C-Note Starview and ever more entangled in his own search for identity when various clues concerning his long-estranged folk singing Danish mother arise from the strangest and most implausible of sources. Starview is a humorous novel about the uncertainty of history, the American identity, and the pitfalls of the American ego. It is the exploration of a shaky foundation upon which teeters drive-in movie theaters, miniature golf courses, wax museums and fading country music legends.

However I'm not stalling because of my 'deadlift muscles' not being strong enough, but because I can't grip hard enough.
I can pump out 1-2 reps double overhand, then 1 more mixed grip and then I can't anymore. However I do feel that I COULD lift at least 10 pounds more. (I'm at 100kg DL).
I've been doing squats press/bench and deadlift 1x5 every workout, so I'm asking can I start doing push&pullups?
I read in the FAQ that's it's like, squats press/bench DL/push or pullup.
But as my grip is the limiting factor, meaning I don't burn out my back during the deadlift, maybe I could just ADD push/pullups or dips after my DL? that way I keep training my grip and I work out harder.
[–]miofar 0 points1 point2 points 2 years ago (0 children)sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted onI'm losing grip at 90kg DL. Doing farmers walks with 20kg in each hand at the moment, but am going to change grip to continue progress.

Perrigo Company Facebook Twitter Pinterest
DUBLIN, Nov. 9, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Perrigo Company plc ("Perrigo," "the Company") (NYSE: PRGO; TASE) today responded to misleading statements regarding Marc Coucke, Perrigo Board member as well as Executive Committee member.
In response, Mr. Coucke comments, "I believe that Mylan's Executive Chairman made comments about me recently. Let me be clear. First, I do not appreciate anyone speaking on my behalf, especially when it is misleading and inaccurate. Second, I support the unanimous decision of Perrigo's Board of Directors in strongly recommending that Perrigo shareholders NOT tender their shares into Mylan's offer."
Irish Takeover Rules The directors of Perrigo accept responsibility for the information contained in this announcement. To the best of the knowledge and belief of the directors of Perrigo (who have taken all reasonable care to ensure such is the case), the information contained in this announcement is in accordance with the facts and does not omit anything likely to affect the import of such information.
Rule 27 of the Takeover Rules
There has been no material change to the information contained in Annex C of the Schedule 14D-9. With respect to the specific information requirements of Rule 27.1, there have been no changes to the information previously provided in Annex C of the Schedule 14D-9 as supplemented by the information provided in the letter to shareholders dated October 22nd, 2015 containing the profit forecasts of Perrigo for calendar year 2015 and calendar year 2016 (the "Profit Forecasts").
Rule 28.5 of the Takeover Rules
The directors of Perrigo confirm that the Profit Forecasts remain valid and each of EY and Morgan Stanley have indicated that they have no objection to their reports dated October 22nd, 2015 continuing to apply to the Profit Forecasts.
Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC acting through its affiliate, Morgan Stanley & Co. International plc, is financial advisor to Perrigo and no one else in connection with the matters referred to in this announcement. In connection with such matters, Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, Morgan Stanley & Co. International plc, each of their affiliates and each of their and their affiliates' respective directors, officers, employees and agents will not regard any other person as their client, nor will they be responsible to any other person other than Perrigo for providing the protections afforded to their clients or for providing advice in connection with the contents of this announcement or any other matter referred to herein.
Forward-Looking Statements Certain statements in this press release are forward-looking statements. These statements relate to future events or the Company's future financial performance and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause the actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements of the Company or its industry to be materially different from those expressed or implied by any forward-looking statements. In some cases, forward-looking statements can be identified by terminology such as "may," "will," "could," "would," "should," "expect," "plan," "anticipate," "intend," "believe," "estimate," "predict," "potential" or other comparable terminology. The Company has based these forward-looking statements on its current expectations, assumptions, estimates and projections. While the Company believes these expectations, assumptions, estimates and projections are reasonable, such forward-looking statements are only predictions and involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond the Company's control. Risks and uncertainties include future actions that may be taken by Mylan in furtherance of its unsolicited offer; the timing, amount and cost of share repurchases; and the ability to execute and achieve the desired benefits of announced initiatives. These and other important factors, including those discussed under "Risk Factors" in the Perrigo Company's Form 10-K for the year ended June 27, 2015, as well as the Company's subsequent filings with the SEC, may cause actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements in this press release are made only as of the date hereof, and unless otherwise required by applicable securities laws, the Company disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
Additional Information and Where to Find It This letter does not constitute an offer to buy or solicitation of an offer to sell any securities. In response to the exchange offer commenced by Mylan N.V., Perrigo has filed a solicitation/recommendation statement on Schedule 14D-9 with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Security holders are urged to read the solicitation/recommendation statement and other relevant materials if and when they become available because they will contain important information.
