Death and the Matrons
THE MOST INFAMOUS RESIDENCE IN all of Texas suburbia sits in a small development of two-story tract homes just off Texas Highway 66 in the sleepy east Dallas County town of Rowlett. The front yard is small—a strip of grass, really, no more than half the size of a typical suburban yard. The red-brick home that lords over it brings to mind the main office-restaurant of someplace called the Colonial Motor Court on some lonely highway in West Texas.

MOGADISHU, Somalia (AP) - A pirate commander in Somalia says that a cargo ship was freed after being held captive for nearly two years.
Hassan Abdi said Saturday that a $600,000 ransom was paid for the MV Orna on Friday. But he said six hostages are still being held by the pirates on land. Pirates shot and killed one of the ship's crew members in August over delayed ransom payments.
Abdi said that other ships towed the vessel away because it had run out of fuel.
The MV Orna, which is owned by a UAE company, was hijacked 400 nautical miles northeast of the Seychelles in December 2010.
Indian Ocean pirate hijackings are down drastically this year thanks to improved on-board defenses, but pirates still hold six ships and some 170 crew members.

There have been fires all over the area since the heat wave started two weeks ago, including one in Denison on Sunday and another in Pottsboro Monday afternoon.
To protect themselves from the flames, firefighters wear heavy bunker gear.
"That's our number one concern is to take care of our firefighters," said Fire Chief Donnie Glenn.
All that protective gear in such an intense heat wave can raise their body temperatures to unsafe levels.
The thickness of the bunker gear and extreme heat is why firefighters have to cut their rotation time in half.
North of the Red River, in Bryan County, an emergency management team does just that.
"Through different departments and grants, we get water and Gatorade that we supply to the firemen and they are extremely dehydrated and exhausted once they get out of a building or fire," said Norman Campo, Coordinator of Bryan County Emergency Management, "We appreciate the firemen...There's no way I could do their job. My hats off to the firemen."

Chaudhuri Devi Lal
Chaudhuri Devi Lal , Indian Politician
Chaudhuri Devi Lal whose original name was Devi Dayal was a popular leader of the farmer community of India.
Chaudhuri Devi Lal was born in a Jat Hindu family on 25 September 1914 in Teja Khera village of Sirsa district in
, India. Chaudhuri Devi Lal was politician, freedom fighter,
Chief Minister
of the state of Harayana and Deputy Prime Minister of India. His mother`s name was Shugna Devi and his father was a wealthy Jat landlord Lekh Ram. His brother`s name was Ch. Sahib Ram.
An ardent admirer of
Mahatma Gandhi
, Chaudhuri Devi Lal, left his studies unfinished and took part in the national struggle for independence during the colonial rule. In 1938 he was selected as the delegate of All India Congress Committee .For taking part in the Quit India movement, he was arrested on 5th October, 1942 and was in jail for a period of two years.
However, he was released from prison in October 1943 and got his elder brother Ch. Sahib Ram to release on parole. In the post independence period he emerged as the popular leader of the farmers as he belongs to the Jat clan of Bagris. He took decisions in the interest of the farming community while he was in power and therefore was lovingly called `Tau`. He started a farmer`s movement and was arrested along with five hundred workers. He was elected as the member of the
Assembly in 1952 and the Congress President of Punjab in 1956.
He played a prominent role in the formation of Harayana as a separate state .In 1958 he was elected from Sirsa .He left the Congress after thirty-nine years in 1971.He was elected against Congress from the Rori constituency in 1971.During the Emergency period of 1975 Ch. Devi Lal along with all the opposition leaders were sent to jail for nineteen months. After the end of the Emergency period in 1977 he was elected on Janata Party ticket and became the Chief Minister of Harayana .For his oppositional attitude towards the Emergency he became popular as Sher-e-Haryana(Lion of Haryana).
From 1980 to 1982 he was the Member of Parliament and remained as the Member of State assembly from the year 1982-1987. He created Lok Dal. He was the one who initiated Nyaya Yudh, which became pretty popular amongst the mass. In the 1987 State elections of Harayana, the alliance led by Ch. Devi Lal won eighty-five seats in a house of ninety members .He became the Chief Minister of Harayana for the second time. In the 1989 parliamentary election, he was elected from Sikar in Rajasthan and Rohtak in Harayana .He became the Deputy Prime Minister of India two times and also in two different governments .He was elected to the Rajya Sabha in August 1988.His son Om Prakash Chautala was also the Chief Minister of Harayana.
He died on April 6, 2001 at the age of 86. He was cremated at "Kisan Ghat" on the banks of the river
. "Kisan Ghat" is the samadhi of another popular leader of the farmers, Choudhary Charan Singh, former Prime Minister of India.

3 Inspiring Designs For Renewable Power Plants That Double As Art

3 Inspiring Designs For Renewable Power Plants That Double As Art
By Adele Peters, November 25, 2014
Can the Solar Hourglass serve as a CSP landmark?
By Heba Hashem, November 10, 2014
From the article:
According to Steven Meyers, researcher at the University of Kassel in the Institute of Thermal Energy Engineering, with a special focus on the solar heat integration into industrial processes, the Solar Hourglass is an interesting new development for the Beam Down technology, and CSP in general.
"On aesthetics alone, it looks quite smooth and sleek, certainly not what is normally associated with power plants, and would serve as an interesting landmark for solar thermal energy."
As with all LAGI concept design proposals, The Solar Hourglass will need to tackle many engineering problems in schematic and detailed design. The CSP Today article points the way to solutions and we hope to have the opportunity to work with researchers like Dr. Meyers on bringing the artwork to life.

Floating Sails Generate Clean Energy Beautifully
August 22, 2014 By Glenn McDonald
"Renewable energy can be beautiful. That's the hopeful slogan of the Land Art Generator Initiative, or LAGI, which works to bring together the worlds of installation art and renewable energy infrastructure.
The general idea is, if we're going to harvest renewable energy with machines and structures, they may as well be beautiful machines and structures. LAGI works with artists and municipalities worldwide to create permanent works of art that also distribute clean energy into the local electrical grid.
Since 2010, LAGI has hosted an bi-annual design competition, inviting artists and engineers to submit proposals for a particular city or area. Previous competitions have been held in New York City and the United Arab Emirates."

WindWaker: le mariage de l'art et de l'énergie renouvelable
August 20, 2014
"La Land Art Generator Initiative Competition est une compétition internationale qui associe design et énergies propres. Elle invite les participants à imaginer des installations publiques à la fois artistiques, innovantes et génératrices d'énergies renouvelables. Après Dubaï et New-York, la troisième édition de ce concours se tient cette année dans un ancien chantier naval de Copenhague. Le magazine FastCompany présente le projet WindWaker. Celui-ci prend la forme de grandes voiles de navire. Imaginée par les espagnols Miguel Ángel López et Julio Alejandro Romero Alonso, l'installation est dotée de nanogénérateurs qui transforment le vent en électricité. Le dispositif permettrait de répondre aux besoins énergétiques annuels de 90 foyers."
Massive Floating Sails Could Harness Wind and Wave Energy to Power Copenhagen's Electric Grid
August 20, 2014 By Lucy Wang
"Artist Felix Cheong designed Oscillating Platforms, a proposal for an off-grid floating art installation submitted to the 2014 Land Art Generator Initiative (LAGI) design competition. Outfitted with colorful and eye-catching sails, each freeform platform creates opportunities for artists to showcase their talents while harvesting tidal and wind energy to generate electricity. By harnessing renewable energy, the Oscillating Platforms can teach the public about sustainable energy and has the potential to offset the energy use of approximately 1,539 Copenhagen residents per year."
Who Says Power Plants Have To Be Ugly? This Sculpture Reinvents Wind Power As Art
In a new design for a Copenhagen park, the giant sails of the Windwaker sculpture gently gust in the wind, producing enough beauty to power 90 homes.
August 18, 2014 By Adele Peters
Wind turbines aren't necessarily considered beautiful. Just ask the developers behind the offshore Cape Wind project, who have fought off opposition for 13 years–and 26 lawsuits–in part because some residents didn't want the wind farm to spoil views. But in a new proposed design for a park in Copenhagen, the wind farm is art.

Gigantic 'Energy Duck' Could Generate Solar and Hydro Power for Copenhagen
by Beverley Mitchell
The Energy Duck is a submission to the Land Art Generator Initiative (LAGI) 2014, this year held in Copenhagen, Denmark. Designed by the London-based team of Hareth Pochee, Adam Khan, Louis Leger, and Patrick Fryer, the iconic and engaging public artwork proposal is a renewable energy generator and storehouse, an interactive and educative tourist destination, and a celebration of local wildlife.
The Energy Duck is modeled on the common eider duck, which is found in the waters of Copenhagen. Unfortunately, the eider's breeding habitat is at risk from the effects of climate change, so the team decided to use its form to raise awareness of the local impacts of a global issue. The appealing, 12-storey high sculpture is proposed to float in the waters of the city's harbor. It would be constructed from a lightweight steel frame, with very lightweight steel supporting a skin of photovoltaic panels and dummy panels.
LAGI directors on Freedom Radio with LaToya Williams, Creative Director of IERN WILL
Please join the Land Art Generator Initiative & Conservation Consultants in Pittsburgh on June 11 from 7–8 pm for a lecture and discussion about the aesthetics of renewable energy infrastructure and the role that creatives can play in the design of our energy future.

This feeder device, for the automatic dispensing of feed to animals, consists primarily of a feed-containing bin, to which is attached a housing on a back plate. Within the housing is mounted a motor and a timer, for dispensing feed once or twice a day, and a worm shaft is driven by the motor, that will move the feed, and let it drop through into a trough or elsewhere.
1. An automatic livestock feeder, comprising in combination, a downwardly converging feed-receiving bin, an upwardly extending back plate fixedly secured to a rear side of said feed-receiving bin, an electric motor and a timer secured inside a housing mounted to a front side of said back plate at an elevation higher than an upper edge of said bin, and a downwardly extending worm shaft secured at its upper end to said motor, and a lower end thereof extending into a tubular neck formed below a lower converging end of said bin, and an interior of said neck communicating with an interior of said bin, a worm formed on a lower portion of said shaft that extends below said bin converging end; said worm accordingly being inside said tubular neck, an axially extending, tapered screw extending downwardly from a terminal lower end of said shaft, a transversely extending, narrow bar through a longitudinally intermediate portion of said tubular neck, a bearing opening through said bar receiving a shank of said screw for rotation therein, and a sleeve fixedly secured to a bottom of said housing, extending downwardly to said converging end of said bin, said sleeve having a central opening, said sleeve being concentrically positioned around said shaft, and spaced therefrom by an interior opening of said sleeve being larger than a diameter of said shaft, said sleeve forming a shield preventing feed placed in said bin from contacting said shaft, and a circular discharge opening for said feed being formed between an outer side of said lower end of said sleeve and a wall of said bin around said converging end thereof, said feed discharged from said opening into said tubular neck where a diameter of said worm fits said neck opening and rotation of said worm moves said feed downwardly through said tubular neck around opposite side edges of said narrow bar extending transversely through said neck.
This invention relates to feed bins, and more particularly, to an automatic livestock feeder.
It is, therefore, the principal object of this invention to provide an automatic livestock feeder, which will effectively dispense a predetermined amount of feed, once or twice a day, depending on the needs of the animals.
Another object of this invention is to provide an automatic livestock feeder, which will have an electric timer, that will energize every twelve or twenty-four hours, so as to rotate the worm shaft of an electric motor a desired number of revolutions, to dispense a predetermined amount of feed from a storage bin.
A further object of this invention is to provide an automatic livestock feeder, which will have the worm shaft of the motor within a sleeve, that will be within the feed of the storage bin of the feeder.
Other objects are to provide an automatic livestock feeder, which is simple in design, inexpensive to manufacture, rugged in construction, easy to use, and efficient in operation.
These, and other objects, will be readily evident, upon a study of the following specification, and the accompanying drawings, wherein:
FIG. 1 is a front view of the present invention, shown in elevation and partly broken away;
FIG. 2 is a schematic wiring diagram of the invention;
FIG. 3 is a side view of FIG. 1, shown on a smaller scale, and
FIG. 4 is a top plan view of FIG. 3.
According to this invention, an automatic livestock feeder 10 is shown to include a feed storage bin 11, of semi-conical configuration, fabricated of metal or other suitable material. A back plate 12 is integral of, and extends upwards from, the opening 12a of bin 11. Secured in a suitable manner (not shown) to back plate 12 is a housing 13, in which is suitably mounted an electric motor 14, that is series wired with a timer 15, and an on-off switch 16, the terminals 16a being connected to an A.C. current source, as shown in FIG. 2.
A plastic sleeve 17 is secured fixedly, at one end, in a suitable manner (not shown), to the underside 13a of housing 13, and houses the worm shaft 18 against the feed that is placed in bin 11. The worm portion 19, of worm shaft 18, is below the neck portion 21 of sleeve 17, and is rotatable in the neck 11a and bin 11, so as to push the feed through the neck 11a where it will pass downward past the narrow bar 20 to which is fixedly secured the shaft 18 by a tempered screw 22.
While various changes may be made in the detail construction, it is understood that such changes will be within the spirit and scope of the present invention, as is defined by the appended claims.

Sammie Batton lives near Franklin Blvd and Cosumnes River Blvd. He's been paying flood insurance since 1998.
"They called and told me I was in a flood zone and I would have to pay flood insurance," he says. "That was 12 years after I had been living there. I wasn't too happy about it, naturally."
The Federal Emergency Management Agency says almost everyone who lives between Franklin Boulevard and Morrison Creek and north of Strawberry Creek now has 100-year flood protection.
The flood insurance costs about $1,000 dollars per year and will no longer be required as of May 12. People may buy a Preferred Risk Policy that provides the same insurance for about $420.
Marshall Marik with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers says unusual obstacles extended the construction of one of the projects to two years.
"The engineering involved in working around a gas transmission pipeline," he says "and also the interface required to get real estate rights on Union Pacific Railroad property caused that to be the last piece that needed to be constructed to make this a complete project.
The Army Corps built a 3300-foot flood wall on Morrison Creek. The Sacramento Area Flood Control Agency lined about a mile-and-a-half of Unionhouse Creek with concrete.

[LIVE EVENT] Episode 1408 - Cyber Security: How Safe is Your Online Information?
Submitted by t.safdi on Thu, 02/27/2014 - 11:01
In 2012, when the South Carolina Department of Revenue was hacked, information from the tax returns of millions of South Carolinians was stolen…including social security numbers and private financial information. That information is golden for criminals who want to steal our identity for their gain. Identity theft is happening everywhere.
Recently, two national chain stores, Target and Neiman Marcus, were hit…and experts say many more stores have been victimized. It's a major security concern, which means we all must be vigilant. So what is South Carolina doing to protect us? And what must we do to protect ourselves?

A method and apparatus for transmitting signaling messages over the communication channel to a CDMA mobile station. If a one-half, one-quarter, or one-eighth frame voice packet is to be transmitted, augmenting that packet with signaling information to form, essentially, a full rate frame; if no more than N consecutive full rate frames are detected, deferring transmission of the signaling message, and thereafter, if another full frame voice frame is detected, substituting a frame of signaling information for the full frame voice frame. Advantageously, using this arrangement, most short signaling messages can be transmitted to a CDMA mobile station with minimal voice impairment.
1. A method of multiplexing a signaling message with voice frames in communications between base stations and CDMA mobile stations, comprising the steps of:
(a) responsive to receipt of a partial voice frame from a source, adding a portion of said signaling message to the partial frame to form a full frame, prior to transmission of that frame to a CDMA mobile station and transmitting the formed full frame to said CDMA station;
(b) responsive to reception of a full voice frame, when a request to send forward a signaling message has been recognized, transmitting said full voice frame with no signaling information of said signaling message to the CDMA mobile station provided that no more than N such full voice frames have been consecutively transmitted without any signaling information being carried in partial voice frames, wherein N is a parameter defined for the method;
(c) testing to determine a number of full voice frames that have been consecutively transmitted without transmission of any signaling information in partial voice frames, while a signaling message is queued for transmission to said CDMA mobile station; and
(d) if said number is less than N, return to step (a);
(e) if said number is equal to or greater than N, substituting one signaling frame for a full voice frame and discarding the full voice frame for which the signaling frame is being substituted; and
(f) following the substitution, return to step (a).

5. A multiplexer for multiplexing a signaling message with voice frames in communications between base stations and CDMA mobile stations, comprising:
first means, responsive to receipt of a partial voice frame from a source, for adding a portion of said signaling message to the partial frame to form a full frame, prior to transmission of that frame to a CDMA mobile station and for transmitting the formed full frame to said CDMA station;
second means, responsive to reception of a full voice frame, when a request to send forward a signaling message has been recognized, for transmitting said full voice frame with no signaling information of said signaling message to the CDMA mobile station provided that no more than N such full voice frames have been consecutively transmitted without any signaling information being carried in partial voice frames, wherein N is a parameter defined for said multiplexer;
third means for testing to determine a number of full voice frames that have been transmitted without transmission of any signaling information in partial voice frames, while a signaling message is queued for transmission to said CDMA mobile station;
if said number is less than N, fourth means for returning to said first means;
if said number is equal to or greater than N, fifth means for substituting one signaling frame for one full voice frame and discarding the full voice frame for which the signaling frame is being substituted; and
following the substitution, sixth means for returning to said first means for testing.
6. The apparatus of
7. The apparatus of
wherein P is a parameter defined for said multiplexer.
8. The multiplexer of
This invention relates to communications from base transceiver stations to CDMA (Code Division Multiplexing Arrangement) mobile stations, and more specifically, to arrangements for multiplexing signaling messages and voice frames being transmitted concurrently.
CDMA is rapidly becoming the predominant form of communication between mobile stations and the base transceiver stations that serve these mobile stations. Voice is transmitted to CDMA stations as a series of air-interface frames containing frames spaced at 20 millisecond intervals. The frames may be a full rate frame, a half rate frame, a quarter rate frame, or an eighth rate frame when coding arrangement is such that the minimum size satisfactory frame is used for each frame. Thus, when the direction of the signal toward the mobile station has a voice signal which is predominantly silence or background noise, this signal is transmitted as a series of one-eighth rate frames. When actual speech with a minimum of pauses is being transmitted, it is transmitted predominantly as a series of full rate frames. The advantage of using various sizes of frames is that power sent over the radio waves is conserved, thus maximizing the number of simultaneous conversations which can be supported. The signals from the base transceiver station to the mobile station also are used for conveying signaling messages. Examples of signaling messages are a direction to hand off a conversation, by tuning to a channel from which the mobile station is currently receiving a strong signal, and a neighbor list, which the mobile station uses to check for the strength of received radio signals. Since CDMA does not use a dedicated separate signaling channel, the signaling messages are multiplexed onto the same bit stream as the voice frames. The multiplexer takes a signaling message and cuts it into signaling fragments for combination with lower rate voice frames, producing full rate air-interface frames.
According to the teachings of the prior art, signaling information is multiplexed onto the bit stream by two techniques: blank and burst (the voice frames are simply interrupted by the signaling frames, and are resumed when the signaling message has been transmitted); and dim and burst (full rate frames are forced to half rate and half rate, quarter rate, and eighth rate frames are filled with bits from the signaling message). The result of using blank and burst is that, while the signaling message is transmitted rapidly, there is a substantial degradation in the quality of the voice signal whenever a signaling message is transmitted; the result of using dim and burst is that signaling messages may be delayed excessively. A problem of the prior art is that there is no satisfactory arrangement for minimizing the degradation of the voice signal while still transmitting signaling messages with a minimum of delay.
In the prior art, digital circuit networks are used to interconnect base stations. Frame selectors and vocoders are frequently co-located. A signal multiplexer is used to optionally combine voice packets and signaling packets into combined frames. In order to reduce the delay of transmitting signaling information, a command is sent to the vocoder producing voice packets to limit the voice packets to half rate or less packets. A disadvantage of this arrangement is that the transmission of and response to such a command may incur substantial delay especially in packet voice networks where speech transcoding is remotely located from the base station, and that half rate voice frames introduce some degradation in the quality of speech.
In some cases, for transcoder-free operation, it is not possible to send such a command. In that case, the prior art can blank all full rate voice frames and substitute full rate signaling frames. This introduces substantial degradation in the quality of speech.
A problem of the prior art, therefore, is that there is no satisfactory way of reducing signaling delay without introducing degradation of speech.
The above problems are substantially alleviated in accordance with Applicants' invention, wherein dim and burst is used when half rate, quarter rate, and eighth rate voice frames are being transmitted, and when full rate frames are being transmitted, the transmission of a signaling message is halted for up to N full frames, after which a full frame is dropped. Full signaling frames are inserted instead of full rate voice frames. Applicants have applied simulation to demonstrate that the reduction in the quality of voice transmission using this type of arrangement is relatively modest for a value of N=3. For this value, the delay in transmitting signaling messages appears to be acceptable. This arrangement also produces satisfactory voice transmission on mobile to mobile calls without requiring the far end mobile station to generate only reduced rate voice frames.
In accordance with one preferred embodiment of Applicants' invention, up to N consecutive full rate voice frames can be transmitted before a following full rate voice frame is dropped in favor of a signaling frame, and this process can be repeated until some upper limit of deferred signaling frames is reached; thereafter, no more full rate signaling frames are deferred in favor of voice frames. Advantageously, with this arrangement, very long signaling messages can be transmitted in a satisfactory amount of time at the expense of a substantial degradation of the voice quality, while short signaling messages can be transmitted with a minimum reduction of voice quality; thus meeting the needs for transmission of occasional long signaling messages while maintaining voice quality while transmitting short signaling messages.
The reason for waiting P frames in action block 209 is to reduce the interference with the voice message by allowing at least P frames of voice to go through unhampered between messages. This is only required if M frames of blank and burst (signal data only) had been encountered in sending the signaling message or if a high priority signaling message had been transmitted.
Thereafter, following execution of block 209 or the negative result of test 227, test 211 determines whether another high priority signaling message is queued. If so, action block 207 is reentered and a high priority signaling message is transmitted. If no high priority signaling messages are queued (negative result of test 211), then test 213 is used to determine whether any normal priority signaling messages are queued. If not, action block 201 (�wait for signal�) is reentered. If a normal priority signal message is queued, then action block 225 (described hereinafter) is entered.
If the result of test 205, the test of original message priority following the original detection of a request to send a signaling message, finds that the priority of the message to be transmitted is a normal priority, then test 221 is entered. Test 221 determines if the forward voice frame rate of the current voice frame is full rate or other rate (i.e., half rate, quarter rate, or one eighth rate). If the current voice frame rate is a full rate, then in accordance with the principles of Applicants' invention, the signaling message is held up for up to N forward full rate frames or until a lower rate frame is to be sent whichever comes first (action block 223). When a lower rate frame is to be sent or N full rate frames have been sent, then the signaling message starts to be sent (action block 225). In this action, mixed mode (voice plus signal) frames are sent if the voice frame is lower than full rate. If the voice frame is full rate, then a full rate signal only frame is sent (blank and burst). This procedure is repeated with successive voice frames until the full signaling message is sent. A simple way of describing the actions of block 225 is to say that whenever a full rate frame is to be sent, a full signaling frame is substituted; when a voice frame that is less than full rate is to be sent, that voice frame is sent and the rest of the space in a frame is occupied by a portion of the signaling message. Following action block 225, test 227 determines whether the last M frames were sent in the blank and burst mode, i.e., were sent with no voice signal. If so, then action block 209 (wait P frames) is entered and subsequent actions are executed as previously described. If the last M frames were not consecutive blank and burst frames, then action block 211, previously described, is entered.
Action block 223 can be executed in one of two ways: the count can start following the result of test 221 or the count can be continuous so that if a series of full frames had already been transmitted prior to the detection of a signaling message, that action block 225 is entered more rapidly. The advantage of the second approach is that signaling messages are transmitted with less delay. The advantage of the first approach is that there is a chance that a lower amount of voice degradation is introduced.
Exact values of M, N, and P await determination based on field experience. However, based on simulations, the following values appear to be good tentative numbers: M=1, N=3, P=3. (Experimental tests may indicate other preferred values of P between 1 and 7.)
The above description is of one preferred embodiment of Applicants' invention. Other embodiments will be apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art without departing from the scope of the invention. The invention is limited only by the attached claims.
