A housing for a dispensing tube of a metering dispenser comprises a mounting half and a strike half carried by the mounting half. A channel for a dispensing tube is defined in the mounting half, and a plunger aperture is defined through the channel. The strike half pivots, relative to the mounting half, between a first pivotal position at least partially covering the channel and a second pivotal position exposing the channel and also slides relative to the mounting half, at least when the strike half is in the first pivotal position, between a first slide position obstructing pivotal movement of the strike half out of the first pivotal position and a second slide position permitting such movement. When the strike half is in the first pivotal position and the first slide position, a plunger strike surface on the strike half is in registration with and facing the plunger aperture.
This application claims priority to U.S. patent application Ser. No. 12/880,016 filed on Sep. 10, 2010, the teachings of which are hereby incorporated by reference.
The present disclosure relates to metering dispensers, and more particularly to housings for holding the flexible dispensing tube of a metering dispenser in place for a plunger that opens and closes the tube.
Solenoid-driven metering systems are well known in the food service arts, and are used for metered dispensing of liquids such as cream and milk, and granular solids such as sugar, for beverages such as coffee and tea. Such systems are sold under the trademark SureShot Dispensing Systems® by A.C. Dispensing Equipment Inc., having an address at 100 Dispensing Way, Lower Sackville, Nova Scotia, Canada B4C 4H2.
figref[FIGS. 1 to 2B] show an exemplary prior art solenoid-driven metering system 10. The metering system 10 comprises a flexible dispensing tube 12, a plastic housing 14 surrounding a portion of the dispensing tube 12, and a solenoid plunger 16. Other components of the solenoid-driven metering system, such as the solenoid itself, related control systems, the support structure and other elements have been omitted for clarity of illustration; these elements and their placement will be apparent to one skilled in the art.
Referring specifically to figref[FIG. 1] , an upper end 12A of the dispensing tube 12 communicates with a reservoir of the material to be metered (not shown) and a lower end 12B communicates with an outlet (not shown), which may simply be an open end of the dispensing tube 12. In a typical example, the reservoir is a flexible plastic bag containing milk or cream which is sealed except that it opens into an attached dispensing tube 12 to allow the milk or cream to be dispensed. The dispensing tube 12 is arranged generally vertically, with the upper end 12A above the lower end 12B, so that material will flow downwardly through the tube from the upper end 12A to the lower end 12B under the influence of gravity, unless the dispensing tube 12 is constricted.
The housing 14 comprises two opposed halves 14A, 14B removably hingedly secured to one another in a clamshell arrangement by a hinge 18 and securable around the dispensing tube 12 in a closed configuration. Two opposed channels 20A, 20B defined in the tube-receiving faces of the two opposed halves 14A, 14B cooperate to define a vertical passageway 20 through the housing 14 for the dispensing tube 12. The half 14A of the housing 14 facing the solenoid plunger 16 has a plunger aperture 22 which exposes the dispensing tube 12. The housing 14 is maintained in the closed configuration by a thumbscrew 19 that is rotatably journalled in a bore (not shown) through the half 14B of the housing 14 that does not face the solenoid plunger 16 and is threadedly received in a correspondingly positioned threaded aperture 21 (figref[FIG. 1] ) in the half 14A facing the solenoid plunger 16. The threaded aperture 21 is formed in a metal insert 23 which is in turn secured in a larger aperture in the half 14A facing the solenoid plunger 16, so as to provide improved strength relative to the plastic from which the housing 14 is formed.
Typically, a temperature sensor insert 17 formed from aluminum is installed in the channel 20A in the half 14A facing the solenoid plunger 16. The insert 17 carries a temperature sensor such as a thermistor (not shown) and engages the dispensing tube 12 so that the insert 17 will assume the approximate temperature of the material in the dispensing tube 12 and allow this temperature to be detected by the temperature sensor.
The solenoid plunger 16 comprises a solenoid-actuable armature shaft 24 and a plunger head 26 secured to one end of the armature shaft 24. The plunger head 26 is formed from plastic and comprises a base 28 secured to the armature shaft 24, four support members 30, a disc-shaped portion 32 and a closure member 34. The support members 30 are ogee-shaped and arranged in cruciform relation to one another, and extend outwardly from the base 28 to support the disc-shaped portion 30, which in turn supports the closure member 34.
When assembled, the plunger aperture 22 in the half 14A of the housing 14 facing the solenoid plunger 16 is in registration with the closure member 34 on the plunger head 26.
In operation, as shown in figref[FIGS. 2A and 2B] , the solenoid plunger 16 is arranged for reciprocal motion toward and away from the housing 14 under the control of the solenoid (not shown).
The “resting” or “closed” position of the solenoid plunger 16 is shown in figref[FIG. 2A] ; in this position the closure member 34 on the plunger head 26 has been received in the plunger aperture 22 in the half 14A of the housing 14 facing the solenoid plunger 16, and the plunger 16 may be maintained in this position by, for example, a suitable biasing member such as a spring (not shown). In this position, the closure member 34 compresses the dispensing tube 12 and pinches it against the back wall 36 of the passageway 20 defined by the channels 20A, 20B (figref[FIG. 1] ) in the two halves 14A, 14B of the housing 14. This pinching of the dispensing tube 12 substantially completely obstructs the dispensing tube 12, inhibiting material flow past the closure member 34. Typically, the half 14B opposite the half 14A having the plunger aperture 22 includes a strike plate (not shown) for the plunger, typically formed from aluminum, that is integrated into the back wall 36 of the passageway to be in registration with the plunger aperture 22.
When it is desired to dispense material, the solenoid (not shown) is actuated to move the solenoid plunger 16 into the “active” or “open” position, as shown in figref[FIG. 2B] , for a fixed period of time before disengaging the solenoid and allowing the solenoid plunger 16 to return to the “rest” or “closed” position shown in figref[FIG. 2A] . During the period of time that the solenoid plunger 16 is in the “active” or “open” position (figref[FIG. 2B] ), the dispensing tube 12 is unobstructed and a predetermined volume of liquid or granular material is able to move past the position of the solenoid plunger 16 before the dispensing tube 12 is again obstructed as the solenoid plunger 16 returns to the “rest” or “closed” position (figref[FIG. 2A] ).
The plunger head 26 is secured to the armature shaft 24 by way of a tab 38 extending from the base 28 of the plunger head 26 and which is received in a corresponding slot 40 at the end of the armature shaft 24 and held in place by a rivet 42.
When a reservoir of the material being metered, such as a bag of cream or milk, is empty and must be replaced, a user will unscrew the thumbscrew 19 and then separate the two opposed halves 14A, 14B by pivoting the half 14B having the thumbscrew 19 away from the other half 14A, which is mounted to the dispenser, so as to expose the dispensing tube 12. This enables the user to remove the empty bag and its associated dispensing tube 12 and install a new, full bag and insert the associated new dispensing tube 12 into the channel 20A. The user then pivots the half 14B having the thumbscrew 19 back toward the other half 14A, trapping the new dispensing tube 12 in the vertical passageway 20, and then screws the thumbscrew 19 back into the threaded aperture 21. This procedure is time consuming, especially in the context of a quick-service restaurant, where seconds count and customers expect to be served in less than a minute. Moreover, with repeated use, the thumbscrew 19 may develop a tendency to bind in the threaded aperture 21, making it more difficult to screw and unscrew and thereby increasing both the difficulty of changing the reservoir as well as the time required to do so.
In addition, the barrel portions 18B of the plastic hinge 18 joining the two halves 14A, 14B are prone to breakage, as shown by the arrow “B” in figref[FIG. 2] . Such breakage requires that the entire housing 14 be replaced, necessitating a costly maintenance call and also requiring that the metering dispenser be taken out of service.
A housing for a dispensing tube of a metering dispenser comprises a mounting half for mounting the housing to a metering dispenser and a strike half for receiving plunger strikes. The strike half is carried by the mounting half. The mounting half has a mounting half tube channel defined therein for receiving a dispensing tube and also has a mounting half tube channel for receiving a plunger, and the strike half has a plunger strike surface. The strike half is pivotally carried by the mounting half so as to be pivotable, relative to the mounting half, between a first pivotal position in which the strike half at least partially covers the mounting half tube channel and a second pivotal position in which the strike half exposes the mounting half tube channel. The strike half is further slidably carried by the mounting half so as to be slidable relative to the mounting half, at least when the strike half is in the first pivotal position, between a first slide position in which pivotal movement of the strike half relative to the mounting half from the first pivotal position toward the second pivotal position is obstructed, and a second slide position in which pivotal movement of the strike half relative to the mounting half from the first pivotal position to the second pivotal position is permitted. At least when the strike half is in the first pivotal position and in the first slide position, the plunger strike surface is in registration with and facing the plunger aperture to receive a plunger head.
In one embodiment, the strike half is hingedly carried by the mounting half by way of a pivot extending between the mounting half and the strike half and on which the strike half is rotatably received so as to be rotatable about the pivot between the first pivotal position and the second pivotal position, and the strike half is further slidable along the pivot, at least when the strike half is in the first pivotal position, between the first slide position and the second slide position.
In certain embodiments, one of the mounting half and the strike half has at least one locking finger and the other one of the mounting half and the strike half has at least one latch arm extending therefrom, with each latch arm forming a receiving slot for receiving a respective locking finger. When the strike half is in the first pivotal position and the first slide position, each locking finger is in registration with its respective latch arm, inside the receiving slot formed by the respective latch arm, so that each latch arm engages its respective locking finger to obstruct movement of the strike half from the first pivotal position toward the second pivotal position. When the strike half is in the first pivotal position and the second slide position, each locking finger is out of registration with its respective latch arm and outside of the receiving slot formed by the respective latch arm whereby movement of the strike half from the first pivotal position toward the second pivotal position is permitted.
In particular embodiments, the at least one locking finger comprises a plurality of locking fingers spaced longitudinally apart from one another to define a locking finger gap between each adjacent pair of locking fingers, and the at least one latch arm comprises a plurality of latch arms spaced longitudinally apart from one another to define a latch arm gap between each adjacent pair of latch arms. When the strike half moves between the first pivotal position and the second pivotal position while in the second slide position, at least one latch arm fits in a corresponding locking finger gap, and at least one locking finger fits in a corresponding locking arm gap.
The locking finger(s) or the latch arm(s), or both, may each have a tapered guide surface for guiding the strike half into the second slide position as the strike half moves into the first pivotal position.
In some embodiments, the strike half has a strike half tube channel defined therein, and the strike half tube channel cooperates with the mounting half tube channel, when the strike half is in the first pivotal position, to form a dispensing tube channel.

Reference is now made to figref[FIG. 3] , which shows an exemplary housing 300 for a dispensing tube of a metering dispenser (not shown). The housing 300 comprises a mounting half 302 for mounting the housing 300 to a metering dispenser and a strike half 304 for receiving plunger strikes, with the strike half 304 being carried by the mounting half 302. The use of the terms “mounting half” and “strike half” refer to the clamshell structure of the housings described herein, and is not intended to imply that the mounting half and strike half are, or need be of equal size or identical shape. Indeed, as will be apparent from the drawings, in the exemplary illustrated embodiment the mounting half 302 has a substantially larger footprint than the strike half 304. Both the mounting half 302 and the strike half 304 are preferably monolithic and are preferably formed from metal of suitable strength, more preferably from aluminum, and most preferably from anodized aluminum. Other materials, such as plastic of suitable strength, may also be used. The mounting half 302 and the strike half 304 may be made of different materials.
The strike half 304 can move relative to the mounting half 302 so that the housing 300 has a closed and locked configuration (figref[FIGS. 3] , 4, 10, 12 and 14 to 16), a closed and unlocked configuration (figref[FIGS. 9] , 11 and 13), and at least one open configuration (figref[FIGS. 5 and 6] ). To enable the housing 300 to be placed into the various configurations, the strike half 304 is both pivotally and slidably carried by the mounting half 302, as described in greater detail below. The mounting half 302 and the strike half 304 each have respective tube-receiving 302A, 304A and outer faces 302B, 304B. The outer face 302B of the mounting half may be mounted to a metering dispenser, and when the housing 300 is in the closed and locked configuration and in the closed and unlocked configuration, the tube-receiving faces 302A, 304A face one another.
As best shown in figref[FIGS. 4 and 5] , in the illustrated embodiment the mounting half 302 has a mounting half tube channel 306 defined in its tube-receiving face 302A for receiving a flexible dispensing tube 308 of the metering dispenser, and a plunger aperture 310 is defined through the mounting half 302, and in particular through the mounting half tube channel 306, for receiving a plunger 380 (see figref[FIGS. 15 and 16] ). The strike half 304 has a strike half tube channel 312 defined in its tube-receiving face 304A, and has a plunger strike surface 314 (figref[FIG. 6] ) on the tube-receiving face 304A interrupting the strike half tube channel 312. In the illustrated embodiment in which the mounting half 302 and the strike half 304 are made from metal, in particular anodized aluminum, the plunger strike surface 314 is preferably integral with the monolithic strike half 304; in embodiments where the strike half 304 is formed from a material not suitable for withstanding direct plunger strikes, a separate plunger strike plate may provide the plunger strike surface. While the exemplary embodiment in figref[FIGS. 3 to 16] shows the plunger strike surface 314 as a recessed part the tube-receiving face 304A, in other embodiments the plunger strike surface may be coplanar with the remainder of the tube-receiving face aside from the strike half tube channel.
At least when the housing 300 is in the closed and locked configuration (figref[FIGS. 3] , 4, 10, 12 and 14 to 16) the strike half 302 partially covers the mounting half 302 so as to obstruct access to the mounting half tube channel 306, and the strike half tube channel 312 cooperates with the mounting half tube channel 306 to form a dispensing tube passage 316 through the housing 300. The dispensing tube passage 316 receives the dispensing tube 308 of the metering dispenser and positions the dispensing tube 308 for engagement by a plunger of the metering dispenser. Moreover, at least when the housing 300 is in the closed and locked configuration (figref[FIGS. 3] , 4, 10, 12 and 14 to 16) the plunger strike surface 314 is in registration with the plunger aperture 310 to receive a plunger head.
In other embodiments, the strike half may omit any strike half tube channel, and the mounting half tube channel may be correspondingly deeper, so that the entire dispensing tube can be accommodated within the mounting half tube channel.
As noted above, the strike half 304 is both pivotally and slidably carried by the mounting half 302. The strike half 304 is pivotally carried by the mounting half 302 so as to be pivotable, relative to the mounting half 302, between a first pivotal position in which the strike half 304 at least partially covers the mounting half tube channel 306 (figref[FIGS. 3] , 4 and 8 to 16); and a second pivotal position (figref[FIG. 6] ) in which the strike half 304 exposes the mounting half tube channel 306. The strike half 304 is further slidably carried by the mounting half 302 so that, at least when the strike half 304 is in the first pivotal position, the strike half 304 is slidable, relative to the mounting half 302, between a first slide position (figref[FIGS. 3 to 6] , 10, 12 and 14 to 16) and a second slide position (figref[FIGS. 7] , 9, 11 and 13). When the strike half 304 is in the first slide position and is also in the first pivotal position (figref[FIGS. 3] , 4, 10, 12 and 14 to 16), pivotal movement of the strike half 304, relative to the mounting half 302, from the first pivotal position toward the second pivotal position is obstructed. When the strike half 304 is in the second slide position, pivotal movement of the strike half 304 relative to the mounting half 302 from the first pivotal position to the second pivotal position is permitted.
The angular distance between the second pivotal position and the first pivotal position of the strike half 304 relative to the mounting half 302 should be such that the strike half 304 exposes the mounting half tube channel 306 and hence the dispensing tube 308. As shown in solid lines in figref[FIG. 6] , in the illustrated embodiment an angular distance of about 90 degrees from the first pivotal position is sufficient for the strike half 304 to expose the mounting half tube channel 306 and the dispensing tube 308. However, in the illustrated embodiment shown in figref[FIGS. 3 to 16] , the second pivotal position of the strike half 304 relative to the mounting half 302, shown with broken lines in figref[FIG. 6] , has an angular distance slightly greater than 180 degrees from the first pivotal position. This provides greater access to the mounting half tube channel 306 for removal of an old dispensing tube 308 and installation of a new dispensing tube 308. The second pivotal position shown with broken lines in figref[FIG. 6] is a limit position defined by engagement of the pivot-side sidewall 324 of the strike half 304 with the pivot side sidewall 326 of the mounting half 302. Alternately, if it is desired to define the second pivotal position at a lesser angular distance from the first pivotal position, such as about 90 degrees as shown in solid lines in figref[FIG. 6] , a suitable stop can be provided on one or more of the mounting half 302, the strike half 304 or the metering dispenser itself adjacent the housing 300.
In the exemplary embodiment shown in figref[FIGS. 3 to 16] , the strike half 304 is hingedly carried by the mounting half 302 by way of a pivot 328 extending between the mounting half 302 and the strike half 304 and on which the strike half 304 is rotatably received so as to be rotatable about the pivot 328 between the first pivotal position and the second pivotal position. In particular, the pivot 328 is a cylindrical rod carried at its ends by two opposed pivot carriers 330 extending from the tube-receiving face 302A of the mounting half 302 adjacent the pivot-side sidewall 326 of the mounting half 302, and the pivot 328 is rotatably received in a barrel 332 extending from the pivot-side sidewall 324 of the strike half 304. As best seen in figref[FIGS. 3] , 11 and 12, the barrel 332 is shorter in length than the distance between the facing edges 334 of the pivot carriers 330, that is, the edges 334 of the pivot carriers 330 that face one another. This enables the barrel 332, and hence the strike half 304, to slide along the pivot 328 between the facing edges 334 of the pivot carriers 330, which act as stops to limit the movement of the barrel 332 and strike half 304 and thereby define the first slide position and the second slide position.
In the illustrated embodiment shown in figref[FIGS. 3 to 16] , pivotal movement of the strike half 304 relative to the mounting half 302 is independent of sliding movement of the strike half 304 relative to the mounting half 302. In other words, the strike half 304 can slide relative to the mounting half 302 without pivoting relative to the mounting half 302, and the strike half 304 can pivot relative to the mounting half 302 without sliding relative to the mounting half 302.
As best seen in figref[FIGS. 4 and 6] to 10, in the particular exemplary embodiment shown in figref[FIGS. 3 to 16] , the strike half 304 has a plurality of locking fingers 336 extending from the distal sidewall 338 of the strike half 304, that is, the sidewall 338 that is distal from the pivot-side sidewall 324 of the strike half 304. The locking fingers 336 are longitudinally spaced apart from one another along the distal sidewall 338 of the strike half 304 so as to define locking finger gaps 340 between each adjacent pair of locking fingers 336. As used herein, the term “longitudinally” refers to the sliding motion of the strike half 304 relative to the mounting half 302.
The mounting half 302 has a plurality of latch arms 342 extending from the tube-receiving face 302A of the mounting half 302, adjacent the distal sidewall 344 thereof, that is, the sidewall 344 distal from the pivot-side sidewall 326 of the mounting half 302. Similarly to the locking fingers 336, the latch arms 342 are spaced longitudinally apart from one another so as to define latch arm gaps 346 between each adjacent pair of latch arms 342. As best seen in figref[FIGS. 6 and 7] , the latch arms 342 are each generally L-shaped and comprise a spacer portion 348 extending from the tube-receiving face 302A of the mounting half 302 and a retaining portion 350 extending from the outer end of the spacer portion 348 toward the pivot-side sidewall 326 of the mounting half 302. Each latch arm 342 thereby forms a receiving slot 352 between the retaining portion 350 and the tube-receiving face 302A of the mounting half 302 for receiving a respective locking finger 336.
As shown in figref[FIGS. 4] , 10 and 14, when the strike half 304 is in the first pivotal position and the first slide position, each locking finger 336 is in registration with its respective latch arm 342, inside the receiving slot 352 formed by the respective latch arm 342. This is the closed and locked configuration (figref[FIGS. 3] , 4, 10, 12 and 14 to 16), and in this configuration each latch arm 342, in particular the retaining portion 350 thereof, engages its respective locking finger 336 to obstruct movement of the strike half 304 from the first pivotal position toward the second pivotal position. Conversely, as shown in figref[FIGS. 9 and 13] , when the strike half 304 is in the first pivotal position and the second slide position, each locking finger 336 is out of registration with its respective latch arm 342, and hence outside of the receiving slot 352 formed by the respective latch arm 342. This is the closed and unlocked configuration (figref[FIGS. 9] , 11 and 13). In this closed and unlocked configuration, the retaining portions 350 of the latch arms 342 do not engage the respective locking fingers 336, and therefore movement of the strike half 304 from the first pivotal position toward the second pivotal position is permitted.
As can be seen by reference to figref[FIGS. 8 and 9] , when the strike half 304 moves between the first pivotal position and the second pivotal position while in the second slide position, each of the upper three latch arms 342 fits in a corresponding locking finger gap 340, and each of the lower three locking fingers fits in a corresponding latch arm gap 346. As best shown in figref[FIG. 8] , the underside of each of the locking fingers 336 forms a tapered guide surface 354 that slopes generally upwardly toward the tube-receiving face 304A of the strike half 304. As the strike half 304 moves into the first pivotal position, it may be not be precisely in the second slide position, i.e. the strike half 304 may be slightly lower than the second slide position, so that the locking fingers 336 are not in registration with the latch arm gaps 346. In this case, the tapered guide surfaces 354 will engage the retaining portions 350 of the corresponding latch arms 342 and guide the strike half 304 upwardly into the second slide position as the strike half 304 moves into the first pivotal position.
Instead of providing tapered guide surfaces on the undersides of the locking fingers, or in addition thereto, the upper surfaces of the retaining portions may comprise tapered guide surfaces sloping upwardly toward the tube-receiving face 302A of the mounting half 302. Similarly, in alternate embodiments the strike half may have the latch arms and the mounting half may have the locking fingers.
To facilitate locking and unlocking of the housing 300, the strike half 304 should be slidable along the pivot 328 between the first slide position and the second slide position at least when the strike half 304 is in the first pivotal position. In the illustrated embodiment shown in figref[FIGS. 3 to 16] , the strike half 304 is slidable along the pivot 328 between the first slide position and the second slide position at any pivotal position of the strike half 304 relative to the mounting half 302.
It is contemplated that in other embodiments (not shown), the strike half may only be able to slide between the first and second slide positions when the strike half is in or nearly in the first pivotal position. In one exemplary implementation, the pivot carrier that is lowermost when the housing is in an upright position may include a projecting portion extending toward the barrel to define a partial shoulder, and the end of the barrel closest to that pivot carrier may include a corresponding recess. In such an implementation, sliding of the barrel, and hence the strike half, would only be permitted when the projecting portion and recess were in registration with one another; when the projecting portion and recess were out of registration the shoulder on the projecting portion would engage the non-recessed part of the end of the barrel to prevent sliding of the barrel along the pivot and thereby prevent any substantial sliding of the strike half relative to the mounting half. Accordingly, by arranging the projecting portion and recess so that they will only be in registration when the strike half is in or nearly in the first pivotal position, the projecting portion will engage the end of the barrel to maintain the strike half in the second slide position unless the strike half is in or nearly in the first pivotal position. When the strike half is in or nearly in the first pivotal position, the projecting portion and recess will be in registration so that the projecting portion on the lowermost pivot carrier is received in the recess as the barrel slides toward that pivot carrier to enable the strike half to slide from the second slide position to the first slide position. Such an arrangement could also be constructed to prevent or inhibit the access portion from pivoting from the first pivotal position to the second pivotal position unless the access portion were in the second slide position, by arranging the projecting portion and the recess so that a side of the projecting portion would engage a side of the recess so as to block pivoting unless the access portion is in the second slide position.
Operation of a metering dispenser incorporating a housing as described herein, such as the housing 300, is similar to operation of a metering dispenser incorporating the prior art housing 14. Reference is now made to figref[FIGS. 15 and 16] , which show the exemplary housing 300 in the closed and locked configuration with a dispensing tube 308 installed therein together with a solenoid plunger 380. The exemplary solenoid plunger 380 shown in figref[FIGS. 15 and 16] is of the type shown and described in U.S. patent application Ser. No. 12/880,016, to which the present application claims priority (published as US2012/0061599A1) and corresponding Canadian Patent Application No. 2714916, the teachings of each of which are hereby incorporated by reference. As with the illustration of the prior art housing 14 and prior art solenoid plunger 16, in figref[FIGS. 15 and 16] the other components of the metering dispenser, such as the solenoid itself, related control systems, the support structure and other elements, have been omitted for clarity of illustration as these elements and their placement will be apparent to one skilled in the art.
figref[FIG. 15] shows solenoid plunger 380 in the “resting” or “closed” position, in which the closure member 382 on the plunger head 384 is received in the plunger aperture 310 in the mounting half 302 of the housing 300, compressing the dispensing tube 308 and pinching it against the plunger strike surface 314, thereby inhibiting material flow past the closure member 382. The solenoid plunger 380 may be maintained in this position by, for example, a suitable biasing member such as a spring (not shown). To dispense material, the solenoid (not shown) is actuated to move the solenoid plunger 380 into the “active” or “open” position, as shown in figref[FIG. 16] , for a fixed period of time before disengaging the solenoid and allowing the solenoid plunger 380 to return to the “rest” or “closed” position shown in figref[FIG. 15] . While the solenoid plunger 380 is in the “active” or “open” position (figref[FIG. 16] ), the dispensing tube 308 is unobstructed, enabling a predetermined volume of liquid or granular material to move past the position of the solenoid plunger 380 before the solenoid plunger 380 returns to the “rest” or “closed” position (figref[FIG. 15] ), again obstructing the dispensing tube 308.
When the reservoir is empty and must be replaced, the user first moves the strike half 304 from the closed and locked configuration (figref[FIGS. 3] , 4, 10, 12 and 14 to 16) to the closed and unlocked configuration (figref[FIGS. 9] , 11 and 13) by sliding the strike half 304 upwardly along the pivot 328 from the first slide position to the second slide position. With the strike half 304 in the second slide position, the user pivots the strike half 304 from the first pivotal position through the intermediate pivotal position shown in figref[FIG. 7] to the second pivotal position, thereby placing the housing 300 in an open configuration (figref[FIGS. 5 and 6] ). This enables the dispensing tube 308 of the empty reservoir to be replaced with the dispensing tube 308 of the new reservoir. When the housing 300 is installed, the strike half 304 will be biased toward the first slide position by gravity, especially when it is made of metal and can slide smoothly along the pivot 328. At any time after the locking fingers 336 are clear of the latch arms 342, the user can allow the strike half 304 to slide under gravity from the second slide position to the first slide position, or alternatively can hold the strike half 304 in the second slide position while replacing the dispensing tube 308. Once the reservoir and flexible dispensing tube 308 have been replaced, the user then pivots the strike half 304 from the second pivotal position through the intermediate pivotal position shown in figref[FIG. 7] toward the first pivotal position and, if the user has not held the strike half 304 in the second slide position, slides the strike half 304 into the second slide position. This enables the upper three latch arms 342 to enter the corresponding locking finger gaps 340 while the lower three locking fingers 336 enter the corresponding latch arm gaps 346. Thus, when the strike half 304 reaches the first pivotal position, the strike half 304 will be in the second slide position and therefore in the closed and unlocked configuration (figref[FIGS. 9] , 11 and 13). The user can then either manually move the strike half 304 into the first slide position or, where the strike half is heavy enough and can slide smoothly along the pivot 328, the user can simple release the strike half 304 and allow it to fall into the first slide position under gravity, in either case returning the housing to closed and locked configuration (figref[FIGS. 3] , 4, 10, 12 and 14 to 16). To enable the strike half 304 to fall into the first slide position under gravity to transition from the closed and unlocked configuration to the closed and locked configuration, the clearance between the locking fingers 336 and the receiving slots 352 formed by the latch arms should be sufficient to enable the strike half 304 to fall smoothly into place. The strike half 304 includes an upper grip recess 388 in its outer face 304B and a lower grip recess 390 defined in the lower edge of the strike half 304 to assist a user in grasping and moving the strike half 304.
Referring now to figref[FIGS. 5 and 6] , a pair of mounting bores 356 are defined through the mounting half 302 on either side of the mounting half tube channel 306. The mounting bores 356 each include an intermediate annular shoulder 358 (figref[FIG. 7] ) and can receive a bolt (not shown) for securing the mounting half 302 to a metering dispenser, as is known in the art.
A temperature sensor aperture 360 (figref[FIG. 5] ) is also defined through the mounting half 302, in the mounting half tube channel 306 above the plunger aperture 310, for receiving a thermistor 362 or other temperature sensor. Where the mounting half 304 is made from aluminum or another suitable material having good thermal conductivity, the need for an insert made from such material is obviated.
In addition, as best seen in figref[FIG. 6] , a closure sensor aperture 364 is defined through the mounting half 302 for receiving a closure sensor, such as the illustrated reed switch 366 which detects a rare earth magnet (not shown) held by a bolt or screw 370 in a correspondingly positioned magnet aperture 368 defined in the tube receiving face 304A of the strike half 304. The closure sensor aperture 364 and the closure sensor 366 may be positioned on either side of the housing.
Certain currently preferred embodiments have been described by way of example. It will be apparent to persons skilled in the art that a number of variations and modifications can be made without departing from the scope of the claims. The above description is intended in an illustrative rather than a restrictive sense. Variations to the exact embodiments described may be apparent to those skilled in the relevant art without departing from the spirit and scope of the claims set out below. It is intended that any such variations be deemed within the scope of this patent.


While they do not hate modern population as much as the Sentinelese, they are still rooted in their tribal customs and traditions. Unfortunately, the building of the Great Andaman Trunk Road has resulted in a lot of exploitation of the tribes by tourists and modern local societies. The Jarawas are pretty weird when it comes to food though. They relish fish, pigs and other animals but wouldn't touch a deer, which the area is highly populated with. Perhaps they consider deer sacred. Also, the tribal people of Jarawa change the names of their children post puberty. There is an elaborate ceremony held to celebrate, in which a boy has to hunt a wild pig and offer it to everyone in the village, and a girl is anointed in clay, pig oil and gum, post which the children are given their new names. The tribals are also aware of contraceptive policies and use herbs and plants as contraceptives!

INTRODUCTION
The Jarawas (also Järawa, Jarwa) (Jarawa: Aong, pronounced) are an indigenous people of the Andaman Islands in India. They live in parts of South Andaman and Middle Andaman Islands, and their present numbers are estimated at between 250–400 individuals. They have largely shunned interaction with outsiders, and many particulars of their society, culture and traditions are poorly understood. Since the 1990s, contacts between Jarawa groups and outsiders grew increasingly frequent.
The Jarawas are recognised as an Adivasi group in India. Along with other indigenous Andamanese peoples, they have inhabited the islands for several thousand years. The Andaman Islands have been known to outsiders since antiquity; however, until quite recent times they were infrequently visited, and such contacts were predominantly sporadic and temporary. For the greater portion of their history their only significant contact has been with other Andamanese groups. Through many decades, contact with the tribe has diminished quite significantly.
There is some indication that the Jarawa regarded the now-extinct Jangil tribe as a parent tribe from which they split centuries or millennia ago, even though the Jarawa outnumbered (and eventually out-survived) the Jangil.The Jangil (also called the Rutland Island Aka Bea) were presumed extinct by 1931
Origin
The Jarawas have been around for a long time. They are believed to be descendants of the Jangil tribe and it is estimated that they have been in the Andaman Islands for over two millennia. The Jarawas were both linguistically and culturally distinguished from the Greater Andamanese, who did not survive over the years. The early colonisations by the Jarawas showed evidence that there was an early movement of humans through southern Asia and indicate that phenotypic similarities with African groups are convergent. They are also believed to be the first successful tribe to move out of Africa. Any form of evidence on the Jarawas—social, cultural, historical, archaeological, linguistic, phenotypic, and genetic—support the conclusion that the Andaman Islanders have been isolated for a substantial period of time, which suggests why they have been able to survive despite modernization.
The Jarawas are one of the three surviving tribes in the area, the other two being Sentinelese and Onge. This triad is connected with the Greater Andamanese language clade on a typological—rather than a cognatic—basis, suggesting a historical separation of considerable depth.
Hunting and Diet
As the Jarawas are a nomadic tribe; they hunt endemic wild pigs, monitor lizards and other quarry with bows and arrows. They have recently begun keeping dogs to help with hunting, as the Onges and Andamanese do.
Since this is an island tribe, food sources in the ocean are highly important to them. Men fish with bows and arrows in shallow water. Women catch fish with baskets.
Mollusks, dugongs and turtles are a major part of the Jarawa diet. Besides meat and seafood, Jarawas collect fruit, tubers and honey from the forest. In order to get honey from bees, they use a plant extract to calm the bees.
The Jarawa bow, made of chuiood (Sageraea elliptica), is known as "aao" in their own language. The arrow is called "patho". The wooden head of the arrow is made of Areca wood. To make the iron head arrow, called "aetaho" in their language, they use iron and Areca wood or bamboo. When they go hunting or on raids, they wear a chest guard called "kekad".
Food preparation is mainly done by roasting; baking as well as boiling. However, the Jarawas also consume food raw. The Jarawas have well balanced diets, and since they exploit both terrestrial as well as aquatic resources, they can easy supplement one type of food by another one in case of a shortage.
The Jarawas also have support from the Indian government. They receive monthly allowances by the government and also receive wages for taking care of citrus fruit plantations. The Jarawas have a strong dependence on gathering different items, such as turtle eggs, honey, yams, larvae, jackfruit and wild citrus fruits and wild berries.
Impact of the Great Andaman Trunk Road
The biggest threat to the Jarawa in recent years came from the building of the Great Andaman Trunk Road through their newer western forest homeland in the 1970s.In late 1997, some Jarawa started coming out of their forest to visit nearby settlements for the first time. Within months a serious measles epidemic broke out.In 1999 and 2006 the Jarawa suffered another outbreak of measles.[18] No deaths were reported.
The impact of the highway, in addition to widespread encroachment, poaching and commercial exploitation of Jarawa lands, caused a lawsuit to be filed with the Calcutta High Court, which has jurisdiction over the islands. The case escalated to the Supreme Court of India as a Public Interest Litigation (PIL). The Society for Andaman and Nicobar Ecology, the Bombay Natural History Society and Pune-based Kalpavriksh joined in the petition, resulting in a landmark High Court judgment in 2001, directing the administration to take steps to protect the Jarawa from encroachment and contact, as well as preemptively ruling out any program that involved relocating the Jarawa to a new reservation. Planned extensions of the highway were also prohibited by the court.However, the Light of Andamans editorialised that the changes to the Jarawa were likely irreversible and should have been assessed more thoroughly before the road was built.

Monophasic
Sleep is not simply one large span of time in which the body and brain "shut off". Instead, the brain goes through cycles. Sleep is made up of multiples of 80 to 120-minute cycles, 90 being the average of all cumulative sleep cycles.
The first stage of sleep is very light sleep, and constitutes 4-5% of a typical cycle. Muscle activity is slowing down, but there can be occasional twitching. The eyes are moving slowly under the eyelids. When one sees a person moving about in bed, they are probably in light sleep.
In the second stage of sleep, one's breathing and heart rate slows. A slight decrease in body temperature occurs. This is still what one would call "light sleep", and it constitutes a whopping 45- 55% of a typical monophasic cycle.The third stage of sleep is when deep sleep begins. The brain begins to generate slow delta waves, and this stage constitutes 4-6% of a typical cycle.
The fourth stage of sleep is very deep sleep. Breathing is rhythmic and muscle movement is very limited. The brain is producing delta waves. 12 - 15% of a cycle is given to stage four. Being waken up at this point will produce extreme fatigue and confusion. Stage four sleep is non-cholinergic so if you do dream during this stage you will not remember.
The fifth and final stage of sleep is REM sleep, which is an acronym for rapid eye movement. Brainwaves speed up and dreaming occurs. If a person is completely still while sleeping, has shallow breathing, and is rapidly moving their eyes under their eyelids, they are in REM sleep. Males will also develop penile erections during this stage. One typically has 4 - 7 dreams per night, but the brain ceases to produce a certain hormone called norepinephrine, as when one is intoxicated, so it is difficult to remember dreams. REM is a high choline phase of sleep, but because people are not active in between periods of REM at night, choline in the brain is low which also contributes to difficulty remembering dreams.


"Tomorrow Never Dies" - Lives for Today by Homer Yen (c) 1997
A British naval ship is engaged in a confrontation with Chinese jet fighters. The Chinese insist that the British ship is in Chinese waters. The Captain of the ship adamantly states that they are in international waters, warning that they will defend themselves. In the next few tense minutes, the ship begins to sink while one of the Chinese fighters is destroyed. Who was in the wrong? Both nations begin to prepare for possible war. Can this volatile situation be resolved? British intelligence believes that media mogul, Elliot Carver (Jonathan Pryce) may have something to do with this, and they send their best man to investigate.
Pierce Brosnan is back, and once again handsomely fills the shoes of James Bond, agent 007 of Her Majesty's Secret Service. We learn that Bond once had a relationship with Carver's present wife, Paris (Teri Hatcher), and is tartly instructed to get reacquainted and to 'pump' her for information. Such double entendres is one of the trademarks of Bond films, and you'll find no shortage here. The 007 formula also incorporates a well-choreographed, beginning action sequence; a bevy of techno-gadgets such as a remote-controlled BMW 750IL; several frenetic chase sequences; and a charismatic villain with delusions of grandeur.
The James Bond franchise, to its credit, as been updated to a great degree. In this case, the villain is not some would-be terrorist, but rather a media magnate that wants to launch a worldwide media network. His avenue of achieving global dominance is not through weapons of mass destruction but rather instruments of mass information. Using his resources, Carver will create the storylines and then subsequently use his media to sway public opinion. "Caesar had his legions, Napoleon had his armies, and I have my divisions--TV, newspapers [and other media]," he gloats. It's a very clever concept. Also, the women are a lot stronger and tougher. M, Bond's female superior, is a tireless boss that is stern but compassionate. Accused by a male counterpart of not having the 'balls' to make a tough decision, she candidly replies, "at least I don't have to think with them." Paris Carver is able to find a soft spot in Bond's cavalier exterior. But the best addition is a little firecracker by the name of Michelle Yeoh. As a cool-headed agent from China, she uses her formidable martial arts skills and intelligence to move forward in her mission, which parallels that of 007.
The one thing that I found distracting about this and most Bond films is the issue of product placements. For example, when Q shows Bond his new remote-controlled BMW, I was waiting for him to start discussing lease terms. In fact, I was amazed that I didn't see Jonathan Pryce driving away in an Infiniti! Also, there seems to be less humor and a subtle shift towards the realm of conventional techno-thrillers. 007 is becoming a more responsible Bond, straying away somewhat from his tongue-in-cheek origins. But moviegoers who have come to expect lots of action and cool toys won't be disappointed. The most inventive scene is a nifty chase, where Bond is in the back seat of his BMW guiding his car via remote control through a parking garage. Using a touch pad, he steers and deploys his arsenal of weapons at the same time, laughing all the way like some giddy schoolboy. That is the essence of bond. That's what makes him fun to watch.

This notebook presents an initial analysis of data collected from Sep 4th. 2020 to May 31st 2021 in Parral regarding the Frost Forecast project.


My psychiatrist prescribed Zyprexa (Olanzapine) to me as a sedative and anti-manic. I was in a mixed-state during a manic-depressive crisis at the time: my thoughts were racing through my head, I had not slept more than 3 hours per night in months, I was psychotic hearing voices that interpreted events for me, emotionally I was severely depressed and extremely anxious...quite wired and frenzied. He told me this medication would 'calm me down'.
I had eaten four hours before I dosed orally 10mg of Zyprexa at T=0:00, one hour before I intended to fall asleep that night. At T=+0:45, while laying down I began to feel nauseously dizzy and experience some mild visual hallucinations. My heart beat erratically. I fell asleep by T=+1:00 to be woken by my phone at T=+3:00. When I stood up to answer it, I stumbled and was severely disoriented, walking into walls. My vision blurred and I laid down to avoid passing out, which I did a moment later. I woke and propped my feet up before the phone rang again. I talked incoherently on the phone (the caller later told me I sounded 'drugged') and a few minutes later crawled back to bed before passing out again.
This experience, orthostatic hypotension, is a possible side effect of the drug, which for me did not pass until after T=+10:00. I was too sedated to drive, very uncoordinated, mentally slow, and felt constantly on the verge of just going unconscious no matter what I was doing. After being awake one hour from T=+10:00 to T=+11:00, I slept until T=+16:00. The rest of the day, I felt sedated mentally and physically and lacked appetite.
After that intitial dose at 10mg, my psychiatrist dropped me down to 5mg. That reduced level let me fall asleep one hour after dosing for a solid 8 hours, leading me to feel groggy in the morning though articially calm. I developed an unshakable taste preference for sweets while on Zyprexa which faded after I ceased taking it. The inability to eat anything other than sweet-tasting food and the general sedated feel led me to switch meds.
I have a high tolerance for caffeine and have reacted badly to lithium bicarbonate. SSRI's have little effect on me. I do not have any aquired tolerance for alcohol.

Problem description:
Should CALL-NEXT-METHOD and NEXT-METHOD-P be allowed in initforms for
optional and keyword parameters and &AUX variables of methods? The
document currently allows them only in the body of a method, not in forms
embedded in the lambda-list, although it takes a close reading of the
document to discern this.
There are two proposals in this issue.
This is Symbolics issue #15.
Proposal (METHOD-INITFORM:ALLOW-CALL-NEXT-METHOD):
Expand the lexical scope of CALL-NEXT-METHOD and NEXT-METHOD-P to include
all forms in a method, including forms embedded in the lambda-list.
Rationale:
This seems more natural and consistent.
Proposal (METHOD-INITFORM:FORBID-CALL-NEXT-METHOD):
The lexical scope of CALL-NEXT-METHOD and NEXT-METHOD-P includes only
forms in the body of a method.
Rationale:
This is the status quo and is easier to implement.
Examples:
(defmethod foo ((x myclass) &aux (y (call-next-method)))
(zzz)
(list ':baz y)))
;is briefer than
(defmethod foo ((x myclass))
(let ((y (call-next-method)))
(zzz)
(list ':baz y))))
(defmethod countem ((x myclass) &optional (local (not (next-method-p))))
(let ((accum (if local 0 (call-next-method))))
(dolist (y (frobs x))
(incf accum y))
accum))
;is briefer than
(defmethod countem ((x myclass) &optional (local nil local-p))
(let ((accum (if (if local-p local (not (next-method-p)))
0 (call-next-method))))
(dolist (y (frobs x))
(incf accum y))
accum))
(defmethod jack-of-confusion ((x myclass))
(defmethod ace-of-confusion ((x myclass)
&optional (y (call-next-method)))
(borf x y))
(ace-of-confusion x))
;In METHOD-INITFORM:ALLOW-CALL-NEXT-METHOD, the default value for y
;is the value returned by an ace-of-confusion method.
;In METHOD-INITFORM:FORBID-CALL-NEXT-METHOD, the default value for y
;is the value returned by a jack-of-confusion method.
Current practice:
Symbolics Genera 8.0, Lucid 4.0.0 Beta-1, and recent versions of
PCL appear to implement METHOD-INITFORM:ALLOW-CALL-NEXT-METHOD.
TI Explorer release 6 does not.
Apple and IIM implement METHOD-INITFORM:FORBID-CALL-NEXT-METHOD.
The first example does not actually work in Genera due to a bug.
Other CLOS implementations were not surveyed.
Cost to Implementors:
In METHOD-INITFORM:ALLOW-CALL-NEXT-METHOD, handling CALL-NEXT-METHOD and
NEXT-METHOD-P by simply wrapping a FLET or MACROLET around the body will
not work. If they are called from forms in the lambda-list some
massaging of the lambda-list is necessary. It's not very difficult,
though.
METHOD-INITFORM:FORBID-CALL-NEXT-METHOD has no cost to implementors.
Cost to Users:
None for either proposal.
Cost of non-adoption:
METHOD-INITFORM:FORBID-CALL-NEXT-METHOD forbids a programming technique
that users might find useful. METHOD-INITFORM:ALLOW-CALL-NEXT-METHOD
requires a little more work for implementors, who might have thought
they had finished their CLOS implementations by now.
Performance impact:
None.
Benefits:
METHOD-INITFORM:FORBID-CALL-NEXT-METHOD avoids changing the status quo.
METHOD-INITFORM:ALLOW-CALL-NEXT-METHOD provides a programming technique
that users might find useful.
Esthetics:
METHOD-INITFORM:ALLOW-CALL-NEXT-METHOD seems more uniform.
Discussion:
Jeff Dalton suggests that the places where CALL-NEXT-METHOD is allowed
should be consistent with the places where RETURN from an implicit block
is allowed. This probably supports FORBID-CALL-NEXT-METHOD.
Gregor Kiczales says he supports FORBID-CALL-NEXT-METHOD, but is not
adamant about it. He thinks FORBID-CALL-NEXT-METHOD is more natural.

An internship at Givology provides hands-on experience in non-profit management and strategy. Interns work closely with members of the Givology executive team, and have the opportunity to gain practical skills in public relations, marketing, communications, fundraising, finance, technology, and social media, among other functions. Given our 100% volunteer philosophy, we give interns a unique opportunity to lead a project and to come up with creative solutions to help us achieve our mission. In addition, interns who excel in the program have an opportunity to join Givology as a permanent member of our team.
Logistics: The internship has a minimum duration of three weeks, with an expected contribution of at least 10 hours per week. There is no commitment to travel to an office - the internship can be done completely online with flexible hours to accommodate your school/work schedule. Nevertheless, you will be expected to maintain regular contact with your project leader via e-mail, telephone, and our weekly conference calls in which interns present their progress and findings for team review. If you're located close to the Givology team or the venue for upcoming events, we may request that you work with us in person. The internship is an unpaid, volunteer-based position designed to increase Givology's impact as well as provide you with an in-depth experience into the strategic thinking and responsibilities involved in operating an online non-profit. There is no minimum age requirement, but a pro-active attitude and a willingness to learn are a must!
Application process: Applications are accepted on a rolling basis, and should be sent to<EMAIL_ADDRESS>Once your application has been received, a Givology team member will contact you for a short interview to discuss your interests, project preferences, and logistics. If your application is successful, you'll be assigned a project leader with whom you'll work closely. We'll provide training and a full onboarding program to help you get started.
We have two internship tracks available: (1) Development internship, (2) Research internship
Development Internship
Development interns gain exposure to non-profit operations and assist the Givology team in marketing, social media, campaign management, education advocacy, community outreach, finance among other roles. The development internship provides practical business skills and a hands-on experience in operating Givology. Develop interns will be matched with a project leader from Givology, and will collaborate closely together. Intern projects span the fields of:
Unlike conventional internship experiences, Givology interns get real responsibility to lead a project from start to finish and to make their own imprint on our organization, with the full support of their mentor and the Givology team.
Research Internship
Research interns help us with managing communications and updates from our partners to our community, identifying high impact grassroots causes to support, and conducting research related to impact evaluation in education. Responsibilities include:


| Description | Dynamically configured proxy server to support
integratino testing of web applications. In particlar intercept provides a 'production like' environment in a box. |
| Status | Alpha - in design |
Intercept is a dynamically configurable HTTP proxy and stubbing framework designed to make web browser base integration testing easier.
Imagine that you are developing a web application and this sparkly new application brings together content from a number of different web servers. This might be external advertising, images, videos etc. And that bringing all this rich content together involves JavaScript and perhaps cookies.
But how do you test it?
Now playing about with host files/DNS servers etc is very interesting but is complex to set up, manage and deploy and is not that conducive to Continuous Automated Testing
The diagram below shows how intercept fits into the flow of requests between a web browser and the servers that service the requests.
Interept can be configured in four ways:
- Command line parameters
- intercept.config
- Web
- REST interface
middleman [config-port] [config-filename]


Support to make the implementation of JPA easy for value types that follow our value vernacular.
JPA does support dealing with custom value types in 2 ways: without any intervention, data of custom types is stored in the database as the BLOB that results from serialization of the value instance. Optionally, a custom value type can be defined embeddable, via annotations or xml declarative definitions. For the latter, we need the value type to be a JavaBean, and thus a {@link org.ppwcode.vernacular.value_III.MutableValue}, which we rather not do in many cases. Sadly, neither approach suffices for the needs we perceive in our projects.
Both OpenJPA and Hibernate, 2 JPA implementations one can use, define extra features. For controlling how custom value types are persisted, in Hibernate, we can use user types. The equivalen concept in OpenJPA are value handlers.


With this option selected, IntelliJ IDEA inserts closing triple quotes when you try to add a multiline string.


In order for your images to show up correctly in the e-mail, they need to be hosted online. To do this, you could either upload the images to OmniUpdate or use a reliable image hosting website (such as www.imgur.com) to upload your images. Copy the direct URL
After uploading our images, we can begin editing the e-mail. Open the SAMPLE E-MAIL LAYOUT (at the top of the page). Once you are there, highlight all of the contents on the page (Press CTRL + A), and copy it to the clipboard (Press CTRL + C). The easiest and quickest way to edit the page is to just use Microsoft Word. Open up a blank word document, and then paste your clipboard (Press CTRL + V) into the document. You should get something that looks like the picture below:
Now you can edit the text, add images, etc. When you are finished editing the e-mail, you must save it as an HTML document. Hit File -> Save As and save it as a Webpage (with the same name as used above). Open the HTML file that you saved in your web browser (if it opens in Microsoft Word by default, Right Click the File -> Open With -> Google Chrome). Test everything your e-mail (make sure links work and go to the right place, formatting is correct, etc.).
*** MAKE SURE YOU ARE SIGNED INTO THE E-MAIL ADDRESS WHERE YOU WANT THE E-MAIL TO SEND FROM ***
Now it is time to populate a spreadsheet with e-mails and any other additional information you would like to add. Open the SAMPLE SPREADSHEET (at the top of the page). It should look something like the image below:
Each column is a separate field that can represent a piece of information in your e-mail. The header cell of each column is the name of the variable you will place into your e-mail to represent that bit of information. This sample spreadsheet contains three columns, First Name, Email Address, and Mail Merge Status. DO NOT remove the "Email Address" and "Mail Merge Status" columns, as they are necessary for the script to work. Also make sure that the Mail Merge Status column is clear before moving on (there are no cells that say EMAIL_SENT like in the above picture). If you want to add additional information for each e-mail address (such as Last Name, Graduation Year, Major, etc.), right click on the sheet border (where it says A, B, C, etc.) and click "Insert 1 left". A completed spreadsheet could look like the image below:
*** I strongly recommend creating a spreadsheet with only two of your personal email addresses in order to test that it is sent formatted correctly. You don't want to send out a bad e-mail to 100+ people. ***
Now, head over to Gmail and compose a new e-mail. Open the HTML file in your web browser (as done in Step 1), and copy and paste the contents into your e-mail draft (Ctrl + A, Ctrl + C ---> Ctrl + V into e-mail draft). To embed contents of the spreadsheet, you must use the following placeholder:
$%COLUMN NAME% (examples: $%First Name%, $%Graduation Year%, $%Major%)
Leave the Recipients field of the e-mail blank, and change the Subject to whatever you would like (using placeholders if needed). At this point, you should have something to looks like the picture below (notice the placeholder used in the subject and body):
Now you are ready to send the e-mail. Head back to your spreadsheet, and click the "Mail Merge" tab at the top of the page and click "Step 1: Initialize". If the script asks for authentication, allow it, and click "Step 1: Initialize" again. You should get a success confirmation message. Now click "Step 2: Start Mail Merge". Where it asks you to select a template, select the draft e-mail you just made. Put whatever you want the sender's name to be in the sender's full name field. If you would like to BCC yourself, click the checkbox. Click "Start Mail Merge" and wait until the all the rows are given a EMAIL_SENT value in the Mail Merge Status column.

Three Men Shot in Mexico near Texas Border, One Died After Crossing
Authorities are looking into a cartel shooting that killed one man in Mexico and caused two other victims to make a run for the border. One ultimately died beyond a U.S. port of entry.
by Ildefonso Ortiz and Brandon DarbyThe shooting took place on Tuesday afternoon in rural Lucio Blanco, near the entrance to the Indios International Port of Entry. The unidentified gunmen shot a bridge employee and two other men, Mexican law enforcement sources revealed.
One victim, identified as Oscar Alejandro, died at the scene next to his white car. The other two victims fled north through the international crossing into Los Indios, Texas.
The two victims reached the inspection booth where U.S. authorities called for emergency personnel to rush them to a hospital.
Breitbart Texas reached out to U.S. Customs and Border Protection who declined to comment on the issue stating, “CBP is precluded from discussing a specific individual’s processing for privacy reasons.” The agency did state in a prepared statement that “if a passenger arrives and is in need of immediate medical treatment, local emergency medical services is contacted.”
Lucio Blanco is considered a longstanding hotspot for the Gulf Cartel, Tamaulipas law enforcement sources told Breitbart Texas.
The shooting comes at a time of mounting pressure on the Mexican federal government as cartel violence continues to spiral out of control while the country’s president refuses to go to “war” against organized crime. Earlier this week, nine American members of an extended Mormon family died at the hands of cartel gunmen in Sonora. The victims were all women and children, leading to President Donald Trump to offer military aid for such a “war.” Mexico’s president declined the gesture.

I have type 1 diabetes. I used to have a pretty conventional view of diabetes management. I don't anymore.
I received bad news in early 2013 that I, "as any other person who's had diabetes for as long as I have", had early signs of retinopathy in my left eye. It was, oddly enough, unexpected for me. The part that resonated the most with me though was the fact that this was considered and presented to me as "normal".
I don't believe in a second definition of normal tailored to diabetics. We have to live with our limitations and we have to compensate for our body not producing insulin (T1) but it doesn't mean we shouldn't aim for standards of living that are closer to the actual "normal".
Fast-forward a few months, my A1C is went from 7.7 in early 2013 to 4.4. I'm driving the show now.
And boy does driving feel fantastic. To get to the results that I've seen, I had to understand a lot. I had to test theories and make drastic changes. But it turns out to be pretty awesome, addictive even, to learn about what affects your body and blood sugar.
And while I'm making discoveries that shed light on some blood sugar mysteries, I'm also discovering information that contribute to better health.
For the first time since my diagnosis, I now dream of my old age and I'm not scared. I'm dreaming of the pictures I'll be taking on this long walk somewhere in Europe. I'm dreaming on the tool I'll still be building to contribute to making the world slightly better, safer, more efficient.
And I am not special. I'm just as normal or weird as anyone.


If you retrieve a task that requests a parameter as GPString, GPDate or GPRecordSet, the application
prepares a simple interface for allowing to you to define this parameter.

'Health Care is a Right Not a Privilege'
COVID‑19 vaccine is a vaccine intended to provide acquired immunity against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS‑CoV‑2), the virus that causes coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‑19). Prior to the COVID‑19 pandemic, an established body of knowledge existed about the structure and function of coronaviruses causing diseases like severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) and Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS). This knowledge accelerated the development of various vaccine platforms during early 2020. The initial focus of SARS-CoV-2 vaccines was on preventing symptomatic, often severe illness. The COVID‑19 vaccines are widely credited for their role in reducing the spread, severity, and death caused by COVID-19.
