Abstract: Apparatuses and methods are provided in which a self-contained warmer is attached to a vessel to at least warm food therein. The self-contained warmer may include a container, and an exothermic composition provided within the container that produces heat by a chemical reaction upon activation of the exothermic composition. The self-contained warmer is configured to be removably placed in contact with a surface of the vessel to provide heat transfer from the chemical reaction to the vessel such that the heat generated by the exothermic reaction generates sufficient heat to at least warm food in the vessel.

Abstract: A method for creating an educational product, or training experience, is herein described. The training experience includes a learning experience to impart knowledge on training experience participants, a networking experience to allow training experience participants to interact with a relevant peer group during training, a guest experience providing a defined level of interest and focus by participants during the training experience, and an enculturation experience to integrate training experience participants into the culture of the sponsoring organization. The training experience may be created through an assessment phase, a planning phase, a design phase, and an implementation stage, with subsequent product evaluation and revisions. Various milestones and checkpoints may be used to ensure that a level of phenomenality is achieved by the final training experience.

Abstract: A manual uncapping and recapping device for bottles with a crown cap closure includes a cap tightening and extracting ring articulated to a lever handle. The handle has fixedly connected thereto a reverse-pitch two-thread shaft. The ring comprises two semicircular parts connected at one end and having parallel extensions at the other end which engage the respective threads of the shaft. The end of the lever handle opposite the hand grip (and adjacent the ring) serves as a pressure element. By pivoting the handle upward or downward the ring may be tightened or expanded.
