1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to reuseable, disposable toothbrushes which contain toothpaste in the handles.
2. Description of the Related Art
Toothbrushes which contain toothpaste in their handles are known in the art. U.S. Pat. No. 4,221,492 is an example of such toothbrushes. Such toothbrushes have the advantage of eliminating the need for both a toothbrush and a toothpaste tube. In the past, such toothbrushes have been intended for long-time use. As a result, the issue of refilling the handles with toothpaste has had to be addressed. Complex and expensive solutions to this problem have appeared. Also, in the prior toothbrushes, valves have been used which prevent the expuslion and waste of toothpaste and the contact of the toothpaste with air which would result in caking. Such valves add significantly to the cost of the toothbrushes. Thus, there is a need for toothbrushes which contain toothpaste in their handles, yet are simple in design and inexpensive to manufacture.
One object of this invention is to satisfy the needs noted above and provide an inexpensive combination of toothbrush and toothpaste which is efffective to provide toothpaste from the handle to the bristles of the toothbrush.
Another object of this invention is to provide a combination of toothbrush and toothpaste in which the toothbrush may be disposed of after from one to three brushings.
Another object of this invention is to provide an inexpensive method for preventing the expulsion of toothpaste from the handle and the concurrent wasting and caking of toothpaste.
Further advantages of the present invention will become apparent from a reading of the following description.
In order to accomplish the above objects, a toothbrush is provided having a front and back surface and a handle, neck and head. The handle contains a hollow area which is large enough to contain sufficient toothpaste for one to three brushings. The hollow area containing the toothpaste is covered with a compressible plastic pad which allows for the forcing of the toothpaste from the hollow area. The neck of the toothbrush contains a duct which leads from the hollow area of the handle to openings which are in the head of the toothbrush. There are four to eight openings evenly dispersed throughout the bristle tufts in the head of the toothbrush. The toothpaste is evenly forced through these openings to the bristle tufts to be ready for use. When not in use, a self-adhering plastic cover is arranged to cover the openings to prevent escape of the toothpaste and contact of the toothpaste with air, which would lead to caking. After use, the toothbrush may be disposed of or the plastic cover may be replaced, and the toothbrush may be reused.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a toothbrush of this invention.
FIG. 2 is a plan view of the head of a toothbrush of this invention, showing the self-adhering cover in place.
FIG. 3 is a plan view of the self-adhering cover.
With reference to the figures, wherein like reference characters designate like or corresponding parts throughout the several figures, there is now described the toothbrush of the present invention.
FIG. 1 shows a toothbrush 1 having a front surface 2 and a back surface (not shown), a handle 3, a neck 4, and a head 5. The handle 3 has a hollow area 6 containing toothpaste (not shown). The hollow area 6, after being filled with toothpaste, is covered with a compressible plastic pad 7. The compressible pad 7 is adhered to the handle 3 by means of an adherent resin or other adhesive capable of fixedly attaching the edges of the compressible pad 7 to the handle 3. Such adhesives are known in the art.
A duct 8 proceeds from the hollow area 6 through the neck 4 into the head 5. In the head 5, the duct 8 may divide into two or three ducts 8 or may remain as a single duct 8 proceeding toward the tip 9 of the head 5, but stopping short of the tip 9. In the head 5, the duct 8 has from four to eight openings 10 which open onto the front surface 2 of the head 5 evenly dispersed between the bristle tufts 11. The toothbrush 1 may be made of conventional theroplastic resin, and may be manufactured by molding methods which are known in the art. The bristle tufts 11 may be made of nylon or other materials known for this purpose, and inserted into the toothbrush head 5 in a manner known in the art.
FIG. 2 is an enlarged view of the head 5, showing the openings 10 covered by an adherent plastic cover 12.
FIG. 3. is a plan view of the plastic cover 12.
The plastic cover 12 may be made of adhering plastic material, such as Saran TM. The plastic cover 12 may be manufactured by punching strips of the plastic material into the desired shapes. The plastic cover 12 may easily be inserted between the bristle tufts 11 to cover the openings 10.
For use, the plastic covers may be removed from the front surface 2 of the head 5 to expose the openings 10. Pressure is then applied to the compressible pad 7 to force the toothpaste from the hollow area 6 in the handle 3 through the duct 8 through the openings 10 to surround the bristle tufts 11. Following a single use during which the teeth are brushed, the toothbrush may be discarded or the adherent plastic cover 12 may be reapplied to cover the openings 10. The toothbrushes 1 of the present invention are designed so as to be useful for from one to three brushings.
The invention in its broader aspects is not limited to the specific details shown and described, and departures may be made from such details without departing from the principles of the invention and without sacrificing its chief advantages.

"Sam Wilson" & US Agent Clash as Spencer's "Captain America" Saga Escalates
Comic Books
Start Time: 12:00AM End Time: 01:00PM
Challengers is pleased to present our SATURDAY READ-ALONG program for younger readers: ChallengeJuniors! On the last Saturday of each month, Challengers will play in-store a specially constructed full-cast recording of a graphic novel, while younger readers follow along in their own copies of the book.
Our February ChallengeJuniors book is Kean Soo's JELLABY. Here's how publisher Hyperion describes the book:
"So, you're in the woods in the middle of the night, and a huge purple monster tries to eat your flashlight. What do you do? Meet Portia Bennett, who is almost certainly braver than you are - she brings the monster home and offers him a tuna sandwich. And just like that, Portia has a new (secret) best friend. Life with Jellaby is exciting, but Portia's purple friend has secrets of his own. Convinced that the sweet, silent monster is lost, Portia decides to help him find his home. But their only clue is a photograph of a mysterious door in a nearby city. How can a ten-year-old girl and a purple creature of unknown origin make their way into Toronto all by themselves?"
On February 27th at noon, we'll be playing the ChallengeJuniors Cast Recording of JELLABY in-store. We'll be selling copies of JELLABY through (and after) the 27th, and suggest that each participant have a copy with which to read-along.
JELLABY is intended for readers age 10 and up, and Challengers recommends that children be accompanied by an adult.

What about online Boxing Day Sales?
For those of us who prefer to spend Boxing Day with the family, don't want to deal with the mass of shoppers in every store, or don't want to deal with the lack of parking and crowded public transport, the online world has you covered.
Unlike bricks and mortar stores, online stores will allow you to spend time with your loved ones and get some bargains. You can quickly search for items and compare prices among retailers to find the best deal.
There'll be great discounts to be had online, so be sure to check out your favourite retailers, even if you're going to the Boxing Day sales at any of the locations listed above.
We have a list of featured retailers which we work hard to source sales, promotions and discount codes for. Check with us on Boxing Day to see if there are any codes you can use to get an even bigger discount on your order. Here are some of the retailers we feature:
Tips for the Boxing Day Sales in Sydney
If you want to squeeze more out of your Boxing Day experience this year and avoid coming home having spent a scary amount of money, follow these tips.
Create a budget - The most boring tip in this list is also the most important. Set aside only money you're comfortable spending for the sales and limit yourself to this. This obviously helps avoid overspending and ensures you don't regret the purchases later.
Know how you're going to be spending this money - If it's on a credit card, think about when in your statement cycle your spending will take place and therefore how many days you'll have to pay it off. Also consider taking advantage of 0% interest or balance transfer promotions to reduce any interest charges you may incur.
List the items you want to buy - The biggest problem many of us face when shopping in a high energy environment is that we buy things we didn't set out to buy in the first place. To stop this from happening, make a list of what items you want or need. Sticking to this list will not only see you save money, but also time.
Get there early - Whether online or at a physical store, the earlier you are the more choices you have. Heavily discounted items will sell faster than other items, so be sure to know when your store opens, or if shopping online, log on in the morning.
What kinds of items are discounted on Boxing Day?
Christmas is a wonderful time of year if you're a retailer. People come in their droves looking for gifts, some willing to spend whatever it takes to get their loved ones or colleagues something they'll remember.
To prepare for this, retailers—both physical and online types—will make larger orders of items than they normally would. Sometimes they'll even get a discount on items because of the larger amount they're buying. When Christmas Day is finally upon us and all gifts are bought and exchanged, retailers need a way of selling any leftover stock to prepare for the new year—and what better way to do this apart from a huge sale?

Rating: g - Mild Violence, Suitable for Children
The friendship between a boy and a talking piglet forms the basis of this barnyard comedy. Gordy is the little porker who lives happily on a farm until the farmer goes bust and must sell everything, including Gordy's large family. When the wranglers come to load the pigs onto the truck, Gordy manages to escape. So begins his journey across the South as he searches for his doomed parents. The plucky pig finds a friend when he saves the life of a drowning boy, Hanky Royce, the heir to his grandfather's giant corporation. When grandpa dies, Hanky become CEO, but cannot actually take over until he becomes an adult, so all control is turned over to Gordy. Naturally, avaricious corporate villains oppose him, and even try to kill the precocious pig, who, along with Hanky, continues trying to find his parents before they are ground into sausage. In addition to popular C&W music star Doug Stone, who plays a major role, other country stars also make cameo appearances, including Boxcar Willie, Jim Stafford, Moe Band, and Roy Clark. ~ Sandra Brennan, Rovi

Thank you for the good service ??
The man working there was rude & other customers there that day agreed he didn't put my dolley in I had too go back too get it, he couldn't even work the computer, he took an hour just too check me in.
Make sure that the truck is clean for the next rental
Very friendly and informative and helpful..thank you..
the price for milage was somewhat higher than i
though it would be.not happy with that
Turn in the uhaul truck when employees are there to check in your truck. I turned mine in when they were closed so I put the key in the drop box. Miraculously I was charged for turning it in with less fuel when I in fact left it with more. I even took a pic with my phone. But hey thanks for charging me extra even though I did the right I left it with more fuel than I originally received it. Someone is crooked there, untrustworthy employees.

Who we are.

Flipped Chemistry at Merced College
by Brandon Tenn
The Low Down:
Adding Captions to Video Content
At the beginning of the semester, a student asked me to add captions to my videos. This was new for me - but it certainly was a reasonable accommodation, and I've been pleased with the results.
A Strong Flipped Study from Purdue
I recently ran across this J. Chem. Educ. article from last summer, featuring a compelling study from Purdue University:
Design, Implementation, and Evaluation of a Flipped Format General Chemistry Course.
JCE publishes results from the Flipped Classroom Project at Marquette
For the past year, we've been following the flipped classroom project at Marquette. The study used parallel classes taught by the same instructor, with students self-selecting into the traditional or flipped sections. The results of this study are now available electronically on the JCE site:
Quick Lab Videos Using Office Mix
This semester, I'm working on pre-lab videos for our organic 1 sequence. I've done a couple of short "how-to" videos in lab using just my phone. I like using Camtasia for video editing, but it accepts a limited number of file types, and I can't embed the quicktime video from my phone directly into Camtasia. I assume others have encountered this challenge as well, and I wanted to share two solutions - one a bit cleaner, and one a bit quicker:
Last (academic) year, I wrote about our controlled comparison of lecture and flipped courses in our non-majors General Chemistry program, which I called the Flipped Classroom Project at Marquette. Our goal was to test the flipped classroom in a large enrollment first year chemistry course. Our approach pushed lecture content outside of the class using short (13 min on avg.) videos, and one 75 min face-to-face discussion was held each week, led by the instructor and TA.
Reaching Students: What Research Says About Effective Instruction in Undergraduate Science and Engineering
Cathy Welder at Dartmouth just sent me a link with a brief review:
I thought the Flipped Chemistry crowd might want to know about this book. I'm halfway through a hard copy and LOVE it. Great info on many types of active learning.
The book, entitled, Reaching Students: What Research Says About Effective Instruction in Undergraduate Science and Engineering. is available for purchase as a hard copy, but also as a free PDF through the National Academy Press website:
The Flipped Classroom: What Students Do To Help Themselves
I polled the students in my flipped General Chemistry II class to see what they found useful for their studies. At the beginning of the Spring 2015 semester, we made a list of things they could do to help themselves learn chemistry. At the end of the semester I asked them to rate the things that we discussed. Here are some of the results. This post is a follow up to my earlier post The Flipped Classroom: To Video or Not to Video.

Three of us went for lunch on a Saturday. Great beef dip sandwich, sausage sandwich, and chicken ceasar salad. Super attentive and pleasant staff (but there were only two parties in the whole restaurant). The floor is interesting- it appears to be a ton of marble slab scraps. Great idea for using up small inexpensive pieces, maybe I'll try it at home.

Product Description
From Publishers Weekly
Can MBA programs be compressed, allowing a reader to "get at least $20,000 of MBA education at 99 percent of the list price," as the author promises? Silbiger, a Philadelphia marketing manager, claims that "one can grasp the fundamentals of an MBA without losing two years of wages." Unfortunately, the constraints of his questionable methodology of "if this is Wednesday, it must be organizational behavior" result in some topics being scanted. While Silbiger's coverage of marketing, economics and strategy is cogent, his treatments of accounting, quantitative analysis and finance are pallid. Business law and labor relations are ignored altogether; Silbiger's thoughts on ethics, negotiating and international business are superficial.
Copyright 1993 Reed Business Information, Inc. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
From Library Journal
Silbiger, who is both an MBA and a CPA, aims to give the reader 40 percent of a two-year MBA program in ten days--a chapter per day. Whether or not one agrees with his premise, this book will prove to be a handy desk reference for potential and current MBAs, along with business people in general. Written in a clear and lively style, the ten chapters provide a basic framework for the essential business courses: marketing, ethics, accounting, organizational behavior, quantitative analysis, finance, operations, economics, and strategy. Each chapter outlines the topics to be covered and ends with "key takeaways"--the buzzwords and theories the text has described--defined in a line or two. A useful lexicon of abbreviations leads the reader back to the explanation of each concept. Recommended for public and academic libraries with business collections.

In summary, for someone who has *absolutely* no idea of any basic business concepts at all, this might serve as a useful primer (although I imagine one could do better, even in this market). However, for an educated and reasonably aware person, I cannot recommend this book.
This book is a must read before you jump and commit into a MBA program it gives you a clear intro and picture of what lyes ahead.
Up date and with current issues but will like to see GMAT intro for us who didn't have an opportunity to have a Higher Education.
Presently, enroll and was accepted to Queen University,Canada.
Thank you, for writen this book.:)
1) Break even unit volume (how much to produce to break even) = fixed costs / selling price of product - variable costs
2) A balance sheet is a snapshot of the company's holdings at any time. Assets = Liabilities+ Owner's equity. If the records do not balance, then there is a mistake.
3) Overview of quantitative analysis: how to calculate EMV (expected monetary value), cash flow modeling, net present value, IRR (internal rate of return), and probability distributions.
4) A major drawback of the corporation is double taxation: taxation as an entity, and also taxation on dividends.
5) CAPM (capital asset pricing model) determines the rate of return necessary to compensate for that inherent risk of a particular investment. (e.g. is that stock worth buying)
6) Even if you do not work in operations, it will help you to understand the meaning of key acronyms: MRP (master resource plan), BOM (bill of materials), SPC (statistical process control), CPM (critical path methodology), EOQ (economic order quantity)
7) Good history of economic thought: Keynes (positive effect of government fiscal spending), Friedman (government should only focus on money supply), Smith (invisible hand), Schumpeter (creative destruction), Laffer (supply side)
8) "Strategy is the most exciing course in the MBA curriculum because it gives you the chance to put all your new skills to work. Strategy classes place students in the chairman of the board's chair, and MBAs love that feeling." (pg 297)
9) The author recommend these two books as compulsory business reading: Michael Porter's [Competitive Strategy] and [Competitive Advantage].
First, the quality of writing is quite high: Silbiger does NOT "talk down" to his reader. Dim-wits and knuckle-draggers will derive little (if any) benefit from this book.
Second, as thoroughly as time and space allow, the material is presented (exactly as promised) as a "step-by-step guide to mastering the skills taught in America's top business schools."
Third, however long it takes to absorb and digest the information provided (ten days, ten weeks, or ten months), the reader will gain a sound working knowledge of subjects which include marketing, ethics, accounting, organizational behavior, quantitative analysis, finance, operations, economics, and strategy. Silbiger also includes several "MBA Mini-Courses" and then brief discussions of research, public speaking, negotiating, international business, and business law. In his Introduction, Silbiger observes: "My goal is make you familiar with the significant MBA tools and theories currently being taught at the leading business schools and to help you understand and develop the MBA mind-set." He achieves his goal. Can this book take the place of an MBA degree? Of course not. Can this book increase substantially a reader's business knowledge and skills? You bet.Read more ›

This paper presents the analysis carried out for designing and developing a prototype expert system capable of managing the electrical system of an industrial plant. The electric network of the plant, including significant gas turbine and steam turbine generation facilities, is presented. The modeling phase of the system for successive analysis by simulation using a commercial power system code is also reported. The load-shedding problem is then considered and the related engineering aspects are briefly recalled. The guidelines for the realization of a load-shedding scheme for industrial electrical plants based also on advanced artificial intelligence tools such as expert systems are proposed. The expert system is used online to prepare lookup load-shedding tables capable of accounting for actual process conditions. Offline validation of the proposed shedding is then operated by static and/or dynamic simulation. The use of a prototype rule-based expert system is expected to permit the achievement of a better flexibility in the realization of load-shedding schemes for improving the process continuity and management

A new comScore report, known as "Device Essentials," is taking a look at numerous elements of non-computer traffic – including device, OS, carrier, and mode of access for tablets, smartphones, and other Internet-enabled devices. Initial data shows iPad obliterating Android in the tablet market, with Android and iOS competing closely in the smartphone market.
The One-Sided Tablet War
The study looks at (according to the official comScore release) "share of smartphone and feature phone usage by OS"; "carrier share of smartphone traffic"; "OS share of carrier traffic"; "traffic to site content categories by carrier, OS, and device type"; "Mobile HTML vs. standard HTML traffic by content by device type"; and "WiFi vs. Non-WiFi traffic." The most notable elements come from the Android and iOS battelfront.
For tablets, iOS is more than dominant – it might as well be the only player. In Canada, for example, the iPad generates 95.17 percent of tablet-based traffic, while all of Android's tablet devices combined only reach 1.1 percent.
Android is faring slightly better in the U.S. (2.6 perccent of tablet traffic to iPad's 97.4 percent) and shows its best figures in Brazil (4.7 percent) and Singapore (5 percent). Around the globe, the iPad is the top tablet player – and in many regions is just as popular a way to access the web as smartphone devices.
The Smartphone Front
While there's not much of a fight when it comes to iPad and any other tablet device, Android and iOS are really having a go at each other in the smartphone market. In some regions, iPhone is clearly winning (such as in Canada, where iPhones are chosen four times as often as Android phones), but in others Android is the champion (such as the U.S., where Android is chosen 50 percent more often, or in India, where Android is chosen twice as often).
Oddly enough, the U.S. is among the closest iOS vs Android competitions. Few regions show close competition between the two major smartphone options; it seems that countries pick a favorite smartphone, and the option that wasn't selected is trampled.

Taken from http://www.rssbandit.org/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=1877
I recently ran into this problem running RSSBandit on my laptop while commuting (no Internet connection). RSSBandit knows it is offline, since I can see the little network icon crossed out (technically speaking, I have not selected Offline mode from the menus though). However, all of a suddern, it decides to update all feeds and I get the green refresh arrow on each feed icon. This almost froze my laptop (I must admit it is not very fast to start with) and I had to stop reading feeds for a while because the application was frozen.

Francois Fournier's Profile
Nature varies itself relentlessly. It is my contact with this constantly changing environment that inspires my creations. By observing its shifting seasons, days, hours, or moods, I interpret the same area differently every time I return to it. I find that when I revisit a location, nature has renewed itself: light and atmosphere may have changed various physical features and modified curves, colours and textures.
Throughout my production, I have learned to discover the natural world more intensely. I believe I capture its true essence a little more every time. Nature seems to reveal a few more secrets; whenever, I am in touch with it.
My painting style could be qualified as impressionist-expressionist. My painting mediums are oil paint and oil pastel. However, it is my close relationship with nature; that gives…

I got a good price on this hotel compared to any hotels in Manhattan and overall I was pleased with it. It seemed fairly clean and not too outdated. The breakfast was a nice bonus and free WSJ. It is only about 2 blocks from the 1 train stop and then maybe a 10 - 15 minute ride into Manhattan. So it is a fairly convenient location and certainly more affordable than Manhattan hotels but just be advised that there is nothing around the hotel. There are a couple of other hotels in the area, but I think this area of Long Island is undergoing a renovation and they are building parks and new buildings but for now it is basically parking lots and some empty buildings. I didn't walk around the area a lot except to and from the train stop, but the only other thing I saw to eat/drink was a small diner. So don't expect to find a Starbucks on the corner right now but if you want to only use this hotel as a sleeping spot at night I think it would be fine.

How can you switch your current windows from horizontal split to vertical split and vice versa in Vim?
I did that a moment ago by accident but I cannot find the key again.
We started with Q&A. Technical documentation is next, and we need your help.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, you can contribute.
Vim mailing list says (re-formatted for better readability):
Note that the t is lowercase, and the K and H are uppercase.
Also, with only two windows, it seems like you can drop the Ctrl-w t part because if you're already in one of only two windows, what's the point of making it current?
The lower case equivalents move focus instead of moving the window.
In VIM, take a look at the following to see different alternatives for what you might have done:
:help opening-window
For instance:
Ctrl-W s
The following ex commands will (re-)split any number of windows:
If there are hidden buffers, issuing these commands will also make the hidden buffers visible.
When you have two or more windows open horizontally or vertically and want to switch them all to the other orientation, you can use the following:
(switch to horizontal)
(switch to vertical)
It's effectively going to each window individually and using ^WK or ^WH.
Following Mark Rushakoff's tip above, here is my mapping:
Edit: use Ctrl-w r to swap two windows if they are not in the good order.
