1. Field of Invention
This invention relates to devices used to restrain infants, specifically to such devices that comfort sleeping infants by providing continual gentle pressure to the torso and subtle restraint to the arms.
2. Description of Prior Art
Infants have a reflex often referred to as the "Moro" or "startle" reflex that begins at birth and can continue until 6 months of age. This reflex is characterized by a sudden extension of the infant's arms and stiffening of the body--the infant appears to be falling. Infants are unlikely to startle when cradled and restrained in parents' arms; startling occurs more frequently when the infant is placed on a firm surface (e.g., a bed, the floor, or a couch). Because infants must spend long stretches of time sleeping on such surfaces, infant startling can disturb sleep. In addition, physicians currently recommend that babies be put to sleep on their backs to reduce the risk for Sudden Infant Death Syndrome; this position tends to give infants an even weaker sense of security, thus creating conditions conducive for infant startling.
Traditionally, parents have "swaddled" infants to provide them with a sense of security by wrapping them tightly in a blanket. This method, while effective in providing comfort, can be much too restraining (especially in warm climates); older infants as well as many newborns are averse to being swaddled.
The prior art that I have uncovered has followed two different veins: a) electronic comforting devices and b) pillows that provide support to infants. The first type of comforting device--those that are electronic--is reflected in two patents. U.S. Pat. No. 3,809,065, issued in 1974 to Gatts, reveals an "infant environmental transition system." This system may be comforting to infants; however, it is highly complex and involves electronics, thus rendering the system expensive to manufacture and cumbersome for parents to operate. Similarly, U.S. Pat. No. 4,969,869, issued in 1990 to Cohen, is called a "sleep promoting and/or pacification apparatus." This invention also is electronic and thus adds expense for the consumer. This invention does not provide any type of restraint for the infant.
The second type of comforting device is referred to as a support pillow in most of the related patents. U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,272,780 (Clute, 1993), 5,581,832 (Bridley, 1996), and 5,499,418 (Tan, 1996) all disclose some device that provides infant support and comfort. However, all of these inventions involve a device that infants must lay on top of--not inventions that lay on top of the infant. Although these devices may comfort sleeping infants, the caregiver must be prepared to use such a device before placing an infant down to sleep. In other words, if the device weren't in a handy location, the caregiver would be forced to either retrieve the device and delay putting the infant down or forgo use of the device altogether. Also, these infant support devices are all designed specifically to accommodate side-sleeping infants. An infant sleeping on her back would not be comforted by this device. However, pediatricians currently recommend putting babies to sleep on their backs--side-sleeping is no longer acceptable because of the risk for suffocation if the newborn were to roll over on to the stomach.
U.S. Pat. No. 5,272,780 also does not specifically restrain the arms. The patent states that the infant's arms can "extend out one open end of the channel." Subtle restraint to the arms may provide an increased sense of security. None of the previously mentioned patents address the problem of infant waking caused by the startle reflex.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,577,358 issued to Glass in 1985 discloses a "bean bag body support." This support is comprised of a bean-bag--like structure and a fastener means for reducing the size of the bean bag. The purpose of this support is to provide comfort to dental patients while lying in a dental chair. The bag is not intended or suited for comforting a sleeping infant. It lacks any type of attaching means for securing the bag to other objects.
Accordingly, several objects and advantages of my sleep promoting and comforting device are:
a) to provide a device that will give an infant a sense of security while lying on flat surfaces by providing continual gentle pressure and subtle restraint;
b) to provide a device for combating the occurrence of the startle reflex in sleeping infants, thus promoting sleep;
c) to provide a device for comforting infants that is inexpensive to manufacture and is therefore affordable to consumers;
d) to provide a device for comforting infants that is extremely simple and convenient for caregivers to use;
e) to provide a device for comforting infants that is small enough to be easily transported; and
f) to provide a device for comforting infants that will not slip out of position and thus will not pose a threat of suffocation to the infant.
Other objects and advantages include the shape of the comforting device, which can easily be designed to resemble objects that babies find appealing (e.g., teddy bears, turtles, cows, and frogs). This provides a visual advantage to my comforting device; this device can be continued to be enjoyed as a toy as an infant gets older. Also, because of the flexible nature of the materials, the comforting device will contour the body of any sized infant, while lying in any position (i.e., on the stomach, side, or back).
FIG 1 shows a perspective view of the comforting device of the present invention;
FIG 2 shows a top view of the internal structures of the comforting device of the present invention;
FIG. 3 shows the comforting device of the present invention being used on an infant sleeping on her side;
FIG. 4 shows the comforting device of the present invention being used on an infant sleeping on his back;
FIG. 5 shows the comforting device of the present invention being used horizontally across the torso of a sleeping infant; and,
FIG. 6 shows the comforting device of the present invention that is designed to resemble a teddy bear.
This invention is a device used to comfort sleeping infants by providing gentle pressure to the torso and subtle restraint to the arms. The invention comprises a cavity partially filled with a freely flowable material. The cavity is placed on the torso of an infant lying in any position. A plurality of appendages may extend from the cavity of the device. Both the cavity and the apendages have the capacity to contain enough freely flowable material to provide adequate pressure to an infant's torso. The appendages are of sufficient length to extend partially around at least one arm of an infant. The appendages may contain flexible rod-like structures that allow them to remain around the upper arm and the waist of a sleeping infant. Attaching means enable the comforting device of the present invention to remain secured upon the infant's torso so as not to slip and pose a threat of suffocation.
This invention is a device used to comfort a sleeping infant by providing gentle pressure to the torso and subtle restraint to the arms. The shape of this device resembles the body of a person or animal (i.e., a torso with two extending arms and legs). This shape allows the comforting device potentially to be designed to resemble objects that are appealing to infants--such as teddy bears and other animals. Caregivers can continue to use the device as a toy when an infant outgrows the need for the type of comfort that the device provides (see FIG. 6).
In FIG. 1, the comfort device is shown from a perspective view, and the external shape and features are revealed. Upper appendages 2 as shown in FIG. 1 are long enough to extend partially around an infant's arms (when an infant is lying on his/her back) or around most of the torso, including the upper portion of one arm (when an infant is lying on his/her side). It should be noted that the device does not have to have four appendages, but this shape is preferable because lower appendages 5 can be draped around the waist of an infant; upper appendages 2 are intended to drape around the upper arms of a sleeping infant. Cavity 1 as shown in FIG. 1 is approximately the size of a newborn infant's torso, approximately four to six inches wide and approximatly seven to nine inches long. A seam 4 merely connects the material that covers the top of cavity 1 and appendages 2 and 5 with the material that covers the bottom of cavity 1 and appendages 2 and 5. Clips 3 in FIG. 1 are located at the sections of cavity 1 that would naturally represent the top and bottom of cavity 1 (i.e., one clip 3 between upper appendages 2 and one clip 3 between lower appendages 5 of the comforting device). Clips 3 do not have to connect directly to cavity 1. Clips 3, although pictured in FIG. 1 as metal or plastic clamps, could be any other sort of method that would secure the device to an infant's clothing or bedding. Placing clips 3 at the "top" and "bottom" of the comforting device may be the most effective in keeping the device secured upon an infant's torso. This positioning of clips 3 also makes the process of securing the comforting device on an infant simple; caregivers would be less likely to wake the sleeping baby while attempting to secure the device.
FIG. 2 shows the internal structure of the comforting device from a top view. Cavity 1 is partially filled with any freely flowable material 7, although it is shown as being filled with pellets. The comforting device must be able to mold to the curves of an infant's body, and thus must be made of flexible materials. Rod-like structures 6 shown in FIG. 2 are located within appendages 2 and 5 of the comforting device; one structure extends from the end of one upper appendage 2 to another, and another structure extends from one lower appendage 5 to another within the device. This allows upper and lower appendages 2 and 5 to hold their shape when bent around the torso of a sleeping infant. An infant feels "cradled" but not too restrained. Rod-like structures 6 also allow repeated adjustment of appendages 2 and 5. Rod-like structures 6 can be made of wire, plastic, or any other flexible material. Rod-like structures 6 can be attached to manipulation means, which is shown in FIG. 2 as being a spring-actioned clamp 9. Spring-actioned clamp 9 is located at the topside of cavity 1. Spring-actioned clamp 9 allows upper appendages 2 to be opened and closed around an infant's torso.
In FIG. 3, the comforting device is shown in use. The device is draped over an infant 1 who is sleeping on her side. Upper appendages 2 are draped and bent around the top portion of an infant's upper arm A to cradle the infant and provide a sense of security. Cavity 1 rests on the infant's side and contours the body--providing gentle pressure. Lower appendages 5 are shown draped and bent around the waist of the infant.
In FIG. 4, the comforting device is shown being used on a sleeping infant who is lying on his back. In this use, cavity 1 lies directly on the torso of sleeping infant 1. Upper appendages 2 are draped and bent around the upper portion of both of the infant's arms and around the infant's waist. Lower appendages 5 drape around the waist. Once again, in this position, the infant can be comforted by gentle pressure; the infant's arms are subtly restrained by upper appendages 2. Clips 3 are secured on the infant's clothes.
The comforting device can also function appropriately if cavity 1 is draped horizontally over an infant's torso instead of vertically. FIG. 5 shows the comforting device used in this manner. In this use, appendages 2 and 5 would not require bending.
FIG. 6 shows a potential external design of the comforting device that would be functional yet appealing to infants. Appendages 2 and 5 and cavity 1 are made of a bright or animal-print material and resemble the body, arms, and legs of almost any animal. Clip 3 could even be designed to represent the mouth of an animal that opens and closes.
This sleep promoting and comforting device is designed for use on infants. A caregiver wishing to use the device on infant lying on her back (shown in FIG. 4) would first place cavity 1 vertically on the middle of the infant's torso. A caregiver would then gently bend upper appendages 2 around the upper portion of both of the infant's arms. Rod-like structures 6 allow upper appendages 2 to remain secure in their positioning. If manipulation means 9 of rod-like structures 6 is incorporated into the design, appendages 2 and 5 could be opened and then closed around the torso of the sleeping infant without having to be manually bent around infant 1. A caregiver would pinch together a spring-actioned clamp 9 located at the topside of the cavity of the comforting device. Clamp 9 (which is attached to rod-like structures 6) would cause the rod-like structures and thus appendages 2 to open when the clamp is squeezed together. When a caregiver releases clamp 9, appendages 2 close back together towards the horizontally respective appendage, thus cradling sleeping infant 1. Next, a caregiver would bend lower appendages 5 around the waist of infant 1. Finally, a caregiver would attach clips 3 to the infant's clothes. It will be appreciated by those ordinarily skilled in the art that a clamp 9 may be attached to the rod-like structures 6 which are contained within appendages 5. In such an optional configuration, the comforting device will provide additional functionality and ease of use in its intended purposes.
For an infant 1 lying on his side (shown in FIG. 3), a caregiver would place cavity 1 vertically on the side of the infant's torso. Next, a caregiver would bend upper appendages 2 around the upper portion of the top arm. A caregiver would then bend lower appendages 5 around the waist of infant 1. Finally, a caregiver would attach clips 3 to the infant's clothes.
For caregivers who prefer using the comforting device horizontally across an infant who is lying in any position, a caregiver would drape cavity 1 across an infant's torso (see FIG. 5). Appendages 2 and 5 would not need to be manipulated.
Thus the reader will see that my infant sleep promoting and comforting device provides a sleeping infant with an increased sense of security through gentle pressure to the torso and subtle restraint to the arms. This increased sense of security may help alleviate infant waking as a result of the startle reflex. My comforting device is economical, convenient to transport, simple to use, and safe. It can be designed to resemble objects that are appealing to infants (e.g., teddy bears, cats, and cows), which makes my device not only functional but pleasing to and interesting for an infant.
Although my previous description contains many specificities, these should not be construed as limitations on the scope of the invention, but rather as an exemplification of one preferred embodiment thereof. Many other variations are possible. For example, the appendages of the device are not absolutely necessary. A cavity of increased size would most likely suffice in providing enough pressure and restraint to a sleeping infant--although such a design may limit the flexibility of the device. The attaching means can be located in any position on the comforting device--directly or indirectly--and can be clamps or any other structure that will secure the comforting device to the infant or bedding. The filler material can be any material that would provide sufficient flexibility and weight to the device. The appendages can be integrally connected to the cavity or can be attached to the cavity by a seam or some sort of flexible material (e.g., elastic).
Accordingly, the scope of my invention should be determined not by the embodiments illustrated, but by the appended claims and their legal equivalents.

Hi I'm trying to add localizations for Taiwan Traditional Mandarin (zh_TW) and Hong Kong Cantonese (zh_HK) to my iPhone app and I'm having trouble getting both localizations into the same project. When both localizations are included the Taiwan takes precedence but when just Hong Kong is included it works fine. I put my phone into Hant, and change the region either to Hong Kong SAR or Taiwan.
I've tried a number of different lproj file names, zh_TW.lproj, zh-Hant.lproj, zh-Hant_TW.lproj, zh_HK.lproj, and zh-Hant_HK.lproj.
I've looked at the iphone documentation and there is little information about naming lproj files and localization. It says that you should use zh-hant instead of zh_TW and there is information about including a region after the language, so I thought maybe zh-Hant_TW and HK might work but they don't change depending on what region the phone is in.
I've also looked at the [NSLocale canonicalLanguageIdentifierFromString:] for both zh_TW and zh_HK, both return zh-Hant, and the [NSLocale canonicalLocaleIdentifierFromString:] returns zh_TW and zh_HK respectively.
So my question is what do I need to name the lproj files to allow me to use both Taiwan and Hong Kong localizations.

Customs is known as well for making fame in a rather swift fashion:
In April 2009 Customs became the first ever Artist in Residence at Het Depot. Around the same time Customs' first single, entitled "REX", was released. It stayed at the n°1 spot of De Afrekening for 4 weeks and popped up in the Ultratop Chart as well.
July marks the recording of their first album and the mastering at the legendary Abbey Road Studios by the even more legendary Geoff Pesche (Gorillaz, Basement Jaxx, Simon Webbe, Kylie Minogue, Athlete, Coldplay and Dizzee Rascal).
In the summer of 2009 they were welcomed at the Pukkelpop festival and received raving in reviews in the Dutch magazine Oor as well as in the Flemish weekly Focus Knack.
In September 2009, the band was elected 'Vi.be On Air' Band of the Year 2008-2009 by Studio Brussel. One week later "Justine" was released as the first single of the forthcoming debut album. The band played a concert to remember at the Leffingeleuren Festival and proudly presented a music video for "Justine", shot in Berlin and directed by Joris Rabijns.
On 26th October 2009 "Enter the Characters" found its way to every record store. De Morgen celebrated the release with a four star review "Best Belgian Album Of The Year". 'Focus Knack' put the four retrofuturists on their cover "Belgian Revelation Of The Year" and also 'Humo' (Belgian weekly) hails them in their pages.

Prospective students
Why this programme
Program overview
Degree duration: 2 years
Tuition fees: Euro 2.559,00
International tourism alone moved more than one billion tourists in 2013, with an estimated turnover of 2 billion Euros per day (UNWTO). The players of the sector are medium and large private companies (hotel chains, tour operators, web agencies) and public bodies (local and regional governments, Destination Management Organizations, transport hubs) which set their strategies at the global level, in a framework of tight competition between tourism systems and in an age of strong innovation in the fields of finance, management, ICT and tourists care.
Join the 4th edition of TEaM, our international degree programme the 1st edition of which started in Fall 2012. The Laurea Magistrale (European Master) in Tourism Economics and Management (TEaM) is a two-year postgraduate degree equivalent to an M.A. or M.Sc. Its aim is to prepare managers and professionals able to tackle the global challenges of contemporary tourism: being, at the same time, engine of economic growth, key-player of sustainable development, and promoter of the cultural heritage.
Students will live in Rimini, one of the most exciting tourism destinations in Europe, hosting about 15 million overnight stays every year. It is home to the School of Economics, Management and Statistics, University of Bologna (Rimini Campus), a leading institution in tourism studies, known for the high quality of its teaching programmes (certified by the UN World Tourism Organization) and its research publications. The place where the excellence of the most ancient university in the western world meets the ability of local entrepreneurs and the public administration in developing a flourishing tourism sector. Indeed, the perfect place to study tourism economics and management.

- Has patch set
This patch adds a more realistic example to the formset-level clean method. It also expands the first example in the "Formset validation" section so that it matches the later example, and to better explain the contents of formset.errors.
Like several methods in the internal formset code, the example clean in this patch iterates only through the first self.total_form_count() entries in self.forms. This seems to be safer than iterating self.forms directly, because we may not use all the initial forms, or we may try to use more than max_num. If I'm wrong about this, the example clean should be changed to simply iterate through self.forms directly. That's what some other methods do, and I'm not confident that I understand the difference.
Also, my clean method accesses the forms' cleaned_data manually instead of using the formset's self.cleaned_data. This is mainly because of a comment on self.cleaned_data saying "Maybe this should just go away?", but also because self.cleaned_data iterates through self.forms, which I'm confused about (see above). If this is changed, the guard checking any(self.errors) must be kept, or else users accessing self.cleaned_data with form-level validation errors will get an uncaught exception.

Also, this is my first documentation patch. Did my changes overstep the bounds of the ticket by too much? I'm worried that the first validation example is now a little clunky. Critique is welcome.

UBC Reporb apt 11 le86 Expedition finds vents, ore Artificial intelligence and robotics developments may be the keys needed to mine millions of tons of petal-bearing sulphides from the floor of the Pacific Ocean, says a University of B.C. geologist. Prof. Dick Chase of UBC's Department of Geological Sciences is just back from a two- week scientific expedition to B.C.'s West Coast, 200 kilometres off Vancouver Island. 2,500 metres below the surface of the ocean, the expedition found deposits of sulphide compounds created when heated sea water rushes out of volcanic vents on the ocean floor. Prof. Chase says the 1986 expedition, a joint effort by UBC and the University of Toronto, explored a large deposit of minerals found in 1984, and located a new hot vent area 30 kilometres to the north. The scientists carried out their work aboard the Canadian Forces auxiliary vessel Endeavour. He estimates there are some three to 5 million tons of sulphides of zinc, copper, silver and gold in the area known as Southern Explorer Ridge. The size of the new vent field, on Northern Explorer Ridge, is not yet known. "But," he hastens to add, "don't hold your breath in anticipation that these minerals will be immediately mined. At present it's cheaper to mine the same ores on dry land before we begin mining the seas." The UBC-Toronto discoveries, he says, may help to spur Canadian development of specialized underwater vehicles that would roam the ocean floor, armed with a chemical probe that could identify ore-grade deposits. Robotically armed vehicles would collect the minerals, bringing them to the surface. we suspect, Dr. Chase says. At least two federal departments -- Energy, Mines and Resources, Fisheries and Oceans -- are fostering research that could ultimately lead to the development of such vehicles. In addition to the sulphides, which will be analysed at the University of Toronto, the expedition also collected volcanic rock. Prof. Chase will analyse the rock samples, many of which are geologically comparatively new. The scientists used an instrument called a CTDnransrnissometer to locate the vents around which the suiphides grow. The CTDnransmissometer detects particles of iron oxide in the plume of sea water that has mixed with volcanic vent fluid, and can measure the slight increase in water temperature of the plume. Technology of this kind may be closer than In 1984, a similar expedition to Southern Explorer Ridge used Pisces IV, a diving submersible, to get a closeup view of the ocean-floor vents. The scientists saw bizarre forms of life found nowhere else on earth. These included meter-long worms that live in tubes and exist by breathing the hydrogen sulphide-laden vent water and ingesting multi- colored bacterial colonies. Large numbers of long-legged crabs were found feeding on the worms. The ocean floor vents form where CrUStal plates on the ocean floor pull away from each other. Explorer Ridge is formed at the junction between the Pacific Plate, which is moving in the direction of Japan, and the Explorer Plate, which is moving under Northern Vancouver Island. These massive plates rest on the almost molten earth's mantle. Slow currents in the mantle help to move the plates. University of Toronto, were chief scientists involved in the 1984,1985 and 1986 . expeditions. UBC students involved in the most recent expedition were geology students Gregory T. Shea and Alexander Denton and engineering student John Criswick. Both the expeditions were supported by the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada. Profs. Scott and Chase are seeking sources of funding from industry and government to enable them to continue their research. Prof. Chase, and UBC Prof. Steven Scott, The University Health and Safety Committee has recently prepared a policy proposal for non-smoking at UBC, the details of which are published below. The committee, made up of eighteen members representing all areas of the campus community, welcome comments from students, staff and faculty. These comments will then be used in preparing a recommendation for consideration by the President in preparing recommendations to the Board of Governors. Please address any comments you may have to the Wayne Greene, Director of Occupational Health and Safety, Old Administration Building. All comments must be received by September 26th. Clean Indoor Air has the right to pollute the air of others with any substances known to be hazardous to health. In general, employers are required by the Industrial Health and Safety Regulations to ensure that stringent contamination and air quality conditions are met. Exposure to smoking in the workplace or public areas of .the campus is a health hazard as well as an annoyance, and all persons on the University's campus, whether students, staff, or visitors have the right to breathe clean indoor air in places of public assembly, passage, workplace or classroom. The University recognizes that no individual 1. Public Areas Smoking is not permitted in public areas, such as thefollowing: * conference rooms * lecture rooms * laboratories * common study rooms * elevators * hallways or foyers * washrooms * indoor recreation areas or change rooms * public reception areas * theatres A maximum of 50% of the seating in Food Service facilities may be designated as smoking areas, but these areas must be away from access to the servery, and should have ventilation to prevent smoke drifting to pollute the air of non-smokers. 2. Places of Emplovment employee may object about smoke in his or her workplace. They shall address their objections to the Department Head or Director, to the supervisor, or to the safety Committee chairman of the area, who shall be responsible for attempting to reach an accommodation, if possible, between the preferences of smoking employees and those employees who do not In addition to the places noted above, any wish to have their air polluted by smoke. Where an agreement cannot be reached which is satisfactory to all of the affected employees, the preferences of non-smoking employees will prevail. The Dean, Director or Department Head will then prohibit smoking in the workplace so that all employees will work in a smoke-free environment. This shall include private offices where the building's air circulation system draws the smoke into the air space of others, and would also include staff lunchrooms. 3. Siqns The majority of the adult population of the Vancouver area are non-smokers, thus non- smoking is the norm, and smoking is the exception. Signs, therefore, shall be posted to indicate areas where smoking is permitted. It is emphasized that the absence of non- smoking signs does not infer that smoking is allowed. to inform visitors that the University's policies prohibit smoking except in designated areas. All buildings will have a sign at the entrance 4. Communication The University's "Clean Air Policy" will be communicated to all students in the University's academic calendar. Students who continue to smoke in restricted areas shall be dealt with first by the Dean of their faculty, and, if necessary, through the President's Advisory Committee on Student Discipline. communicated to all University employees. Any member of the University who refuses to cooperate with the policy as stated above shall be dealt with through the normal disciplinary procedures. 5. Smokina Areas Where possible, areas where smoking is permitted will be specifically designated in ,buildings which have adequate ventilation to separate the smoking room's air to prevent the contamination of the building air supply. The "Clean Air Policy" will be Looking over volcanic rocks dredged up this summer from the floor of the Pacific Ocean 200 kilometres off Vancouver Island are Prof. Dick Chase, left, of UBC's Depart- ment of Geological Sciences and colleague, Prof. Steven Scott of the University of Toronto.

The idea of relocating Sanyo's Expo 70 pavilion at UBC was suggested to Mr. Nishi by Prof. Shotaro lida of the Department of Asian Studies. However, Mr. Nishi, now retired from a public relations post with Sanyo, had never seen the reconstructed building, which was redesigned for University use by Vancouver architect Donald Matsuba and landscaped by Roy Sumi. President David Strangway invited Mr. Nishi to come to Vancouver this summer to view the Kazuhiko Nishi was the man who decided building which houses the Asian Studies Library, the Department of Asian Studies and the Institute of Asian Research. He was a special guest at a luncheon attended by UBC and community leaders and recent UBC graduates who are associated with firms that have close business ties with Japanese companies. Characteristically, the generosity of the Sanyo Corporation surfaced once again during Mr. Nishi's visit. He announced that Sanyo would donate the latest version of a facsimile transmission and receiving machine to the Asian Centre. Asian Centre officials said the machine will save UBC hundreds of dollars annually in postage and other shipping costs because the academic units in the building are constantly being asked to provide information to students and scholars at other universities. * Health, Education and Welfare, U.S. Dept. of -Small Grants Program (11 * IMASCO-CDC Research Foundatlon -Research [I] * lnstltute of Urban Studies, Wlnnlpeg -CMHC Senlor Fellowshlp [15] * lnternatlonal Unlon Agamst Cancer ' -Eleanor Roosevelt Cancer Fellowshlps [l] -1nternatlonal Fellowshlps [l] -JSPS Fellowshlp for Research In Japan [l] -1nternatlonal Projects [31] -Career Development Award [I] -Postdoctoral Fellowshlps [I] -National Research Fellowship Program (11 -Research [15] -Grant-ln-Ald [15] -Vwt!ng Sclentlsts [l] -MRC Group (11 -FrancelCanada MRC Exchange 111 -Research for DysklneslaILTortlcollls (11 -Career Development Grants [I] -Postdoctoral Fellowshlps [l] -Research [l] -Research Studentshlps [l] * Natlonal Inst. of Education (US) "llitaryand Strategic Studies Program [lo] * National Kldney Foundatlon -NIE Research Grants [6] -Research Fellowshlps [I] * Natlonal Research Councll of Canada * NSERC: Fellowshlps Divlston -The Steacle Prue [4] * NSERC: Intl.

Research Institution:
AbstractHelium-cooled, refractory-metal heat sinks are being considered for the divertor sections of several fusion energy reactors. Research results have shown considerable promise for the use of jet-impingement-type helium-cooling techniques in high-heat-flux applications. However, because of the small size of the units (1.5-2 cm), a large number of these heat sinks would be needed for the divertor section of a reactor. Recently, a mid-size helium-jet-cooled configuration, comprised of tungsten tubes¿ and having good heat-flux-accommodation potential, has been designed. In this project, advanced net shape refractory metal forming techniques will be developed to enable the fabrication of this improved helium-cooled, tungsten-alloy divertor concept. During Phase I, helium-jet cooled, tungsten-alloy heat sinks will be produced. The helium inlet and outlet manifolds will be incorporated into one or both ends of the heat sink. In addition, techniques for attaching armor to the heat sinks will be developed to guard against disruption events expected from more demanding, near-term tokamaks. In Phase II, the helium-jet-cooled, tungsten-alloy heat sinks will be optimized, and prototypes will be produced. Commercial Applications and Other Benefits as described by the awardee: Fusion energy offers the potential to reduce the nation¿s dependency on fossil fuels. The helium-jet-cooled method, in combination with an all-refractory-metal heat sink, would allow these reactors to be operated at higher temperatures and with larger temperature differences, resulting in increased power conversion efficiency

He is one nasty POS.
The botox forehead.
Overdue for rabies and distemper.
"You wanna piece of me?"
See what unreleased chakra does to your face.
Shoop da Whoop.
What an awful early morning image. Why doesn't he spring for some Crest White Strips? Maybe Tipper left because she doesn't get off on yellow teeth.
"...the woman tells how Gore greeted her at the door of his room at the Hotel Lucia for the 11 p.m. appointment with a hug that "went on a bit long," then quipped "call me Al." Hotel staff had told the licensed therapist when booking her that the client was Al Gore, but that he was going under the name "Mr Stone."
Gore allegedly asked her to focus on his abdominal area and adductors -- the inner thigh muscles -- as well as his back and other areas.
While his lower body was covered with a sheet, she said, Gore "became vocal" with "muffled moans" and asked her to go lower, getting angry when she refused.
"It appeared he was demanding sexual favors or sexual behaviors," the woman said.
She then asked Gore to show her where he wanted to be massaged and he "grabbed my hand, shoved it down under the sheet to his ***** **** area, my fingers brushing against his ***** and firmly planted my hand on his pubic crest region and said to me 'There!' in a very sharp, loud, angry-sounding tone."
The woman told police she was caught in "a perfect storm" in a room with someone who was "Teflon-coated in terms of his credibility and celebrity status"..."
Police specifically responded to claims by the woman -- who said she remained clothed through the alleged encounter -- that she had noticed her black slacks had "stains" on them.
Police said they did not collect her attire because they believed it would not provide evidence.
At this point, the Police Bureau does not consider this an ongoing investigation unless new evidence is received in this case, Wednesday's police statement said.
Unbelievable that in 2000 - 51 million Americans voted for this cretin to be POTUS!!!!!
The Electoral College must be preserved!!!!!
Proving that vetting for elective office should be done by vetinary doctors.
Fee Fie Foh Fum, I smell the skank of a "who-are" — yum!
Owl Gore says "I invented sex so leave me alone"
Failure-he haz it!
Algore is a creepy, oportunistic loon. But a woman alone with a man in a hotel room? Exactly what answer should miss goody two shoes expect? "On my chin"?
There is no legal case here. This is political led grandstanding, better suited to Kangaroo court.
Snatch da pebba flom my han, glasshoppa!
the goreacle has a fever
In 2006, Molly Hagerty was a 50 year-old professional, licensed massage therapist; hired by the hotel to provide service to a *well respected* former US VP.
She was confronted by a sex pervert and appears to have balanced self-preservation with diplomacy during and following a shocking and unexpected incident.
Women who have had similar experiences understand this. Men who have never accosted a female in this manner do not.
I'm with you. But it's still a sick, freaky, tawdry and hilarious story, one that should be told and discussed at length regardless of motives.
I told her to release the KRAKEN!
And they called GWB stupid!
>Not being either a masseuse or a sex poodle,
>I was hoping someone would explain what a chakra was to me.
Does this help?...
"Chakra is a concept referring to wheel-like vortices which, according to traditional Indian medicine, are believed to exist in the surface of the etheric double of man.[2] The Chakras are said to be "force centers" or whorls of energy permeating from a point on the physical body, the layers of the subtle bodies in an ever-increasing fan-shaped formation (the fans make the shape of a love heart). Rotating vortices of subtle matter, they are considered the focal points for the reception and transmission of energies.[3] Seven major chakras or energy centers (also understood as wheels of light) are generally believed to exist, located within the subtle body.
It is typical for chakras to be depicted as either flower-like or wheel-like. In the former, a specific number of petals are shown around the perimeter of a circle. In the latter, a certain number of spokes divide the circle into segments that make the chakra resemble a wheel or chakra. Each chakra possesses a specific number of segments or petals.
Texts documenting the chakras go back as far as the later Upanishads, for example the Yoga Kundalini Upanishad."
According to Al Gore, chakra is what Bill Clinton got on Monica's dress.
In the former, a specific number of petals.............
Sorta like a pansy?????? LOL!!!
Now I have to stop posting on these POODLE threads;)
Thanks for trying but NO it doesn't help. ;]
Thanks, that is language I can understand.
See post #31 it makes it all very clear. :9)
2. This was Algore's expression when he couldn't get his second chakra to make him feel powerful.
Poor Algore...always problems with fulfillment be they chads or chakra's
The look of irritable bowel syndrome.
Mr. Gore has a case of the blue chakras.

Destination clubs provide their members with access to multiple luxury vacation homes, located all over the world. The homes are typically multi-million dollar residences, and are sited in major cities, at beaches, in mountains and leisure locations.
Membership of the clubs is an alternative to buying a second home. The clubs are sometimes also compared to, or even mixed up with, private residence clubs, but there are several key differences between the two.
If you're just starting out learning about the clubs read the overview and the glossary. Then you can start to compare them in the comparison table. One way to financially compare them is using a cost per night calculation and we've provided downloadable spreadsheets for these calculations.
And for a real in-depth look at the clubs, their homes and services, comparisons to alternatives and questions to consider before joining, download our Guide for Prospective Members.
The map shows some of the main destinations where the clubs have homes. Click on the markers to see the actual homes.
The latest news and research on the clubs is included below.
Last year we noted that the strength of the US$ was making Canadian and European equity destination clubs much cheaper for US$ investors. The recent Brexit vote has caused the pound to plunge to its lowest level against the US$ for 30 years, making UK based clubs even better value.

Equity Residences manages private investment funds that own multiple vacation properties, which are enjoyed by the funds' limited partners. They recently closed their first fund to new investors and have started funding their second investment fund.
Read more: Equity Residences Announces Successful Closing of Its First Fund
Philip Mekelburg is the CEO and founder of Equity Estates. I recently talked to him about the equity destination club, it's growth in 2015 and plans for 2016.
In addition to enjoying the luxury vacation homes in some of the finest destinations around the world, members of equity destination clubs are able to benefit from a host of additional perks. In this article, we take a look at some of the extra benefits that come with membership in four popular clubs or residence funds.
Equity Residences is an investment fund with a continually evolving portfolio of properties, which its members may enjoy. Like any luxury club, staff are always on hand to provide top-notch concierge service, working to meeting guests' needs, before, during, and after their vacation. I spoke with Guest Relations and Asset Manager, Laura Krueger, and Operations Manager, Adrienne Hodell, to learn more about Equity Residence's customer service.
Luxury destination club Inspirato has announced the arrival of a new membership option. It has a lower initiation fee than the Core membership level, and provides access to all the club homes.
With the US dollar having strengthened recently, the Canadian and European based destination clubs are much better value. Over the last couple of years the dollar has gained 20% to 30% in value against the Euro and the Canadian dollar, making these clubs that much cheaper in US dollar terms.

The equity destination club, Equity Estates, is building a new home for its investor members and has another home available for them during construction.
The Equity Villa Fund has recently acquired its latest home, located on Captiva Island on the Gulf Coast of Southwest Florida. You can meet the funds Managing Directors in New York on 17th November.
Read more: Equity Residences Adds Waterfront Captiva Island Villa
Exclusive Resorts recently announced the addition of a new European Villa Collection to their already impressive portfolio of more than 400 vacation properties. European Villa Collections have been made available in the past for limited summer use, and they have proven very popular with Exclusive Resorts members. The 2016 collection includes some previous favorites, as well as some new additions.
Read more: The New European Villa Collection from Exclusive Resorts
Destination club M Private Residences has partnered with Seekda to provide its members with a curated portfolio of certified and professionally managed exclusive vacation homes, villas and hotels. This provides members with even more vacation options around the globe.
Read more: M Private Residences Launches the M Villa Collection
In order to increase the luxury travel options for their respective members, 3RD HOME and Equity Residences are opening up their respective locations to the other clubs members.
Inspirato wants to make sure that its members are impressed with more than their array of destinations and properties. So like many destination clubs they have two key types of staff on their member services team, who help with all aspects of travel. A Member Services Coordinator helps with planning and recommendations beforehand and an Onsite Concierge takes care of members during their stay.
Through this new partnership, G2G Collection members with a Boutique Plan receive membership in Elite Alliance, expanding their vacation opportunities and providing access to private golf and urban clubs, lifestyle events, and travel benefits. Elite Alliance members will enjoy seamless escapes to select G2G residences in Chicago and Punta Mita, Mexico.
These two clubs are collaborating to expand the portfolio of multimillion-dollar residences accessible to each membership. In outline the two clubs are making some of their homes available to members of the other club.
Read more: Quintess and 3RDHOME Establish Mutual Affiliation
Exclusive Resorts and Quintess are two of the best-known and most well-established destination clubs in today's luxury travel market. Both offer a range of high quality homes and high levels of service in locations around the world. We review them both so that you can see the similarities and differences, and see if one is right for you.
This equity destination club builds portfolios of 6 luxury vacation homes that are collectively owned by 50 investors. The two current portfolios, Atlantic One and Pacific One, have a US East Coast and West Coast focus to their homes. With a new planned portfolio of city homes due to be launched.
The Canadian destination club M Private Residences has been structured as a non-profit corporation since 2008. This means that it is not set up to generate profits for outside shareholders. This is the only destination club with this type of structure, so here's a walk through on what this means for the club shareholder members.

- Reuters•2 years agoOsisko to acquire Virginia Mines creating big royalty company
Osisko Gold Royalties Ltd said on Monday it has agreed to acquire smaller rival Virginia Mines Inc for C$479 million ($424 million), creating a C$1.3 billion ($1.2 billion) company that owns royalty interests in two major gold mines in the province of Quebec. The deal will give Montreal-based Osisko, which already owns a royalty in the Canadian Malartic asset, a royalty interest in Goldcorp Inc's Éléonore mine, which began production last year. Éléonore is ramping to 600,000 of gold ounces annually by 2018 and Canadian Malartic is currently producing about 525,000 ounces of gold annually. Earlier this month though the sector received a spot of good news when New Gold agreed to buy Bayfield Ventures Corp for C$16.6 million, soon after two silver miners Scorpio Mining and U.S.
