AERIAL BOMB Filed April 29, 1943 3 Sheets-Sheet 3 Patented June 26, 1945 AERIAL BOMB James Lloyd Scott, Gaston, N. 0. Application April 29, 1943, Serial No. 485,047
. 1 Claim.
The present invention relates to new and useful improvements in aerial bombs, and has for its primary object to provide, in a-manner as hereinafter set forth, a device of this character which, when it explodes, will be highly destructive to both life and property over a comparatively large area.
Other objects of the invention are to provide an aerial bomb of the character described which will be comparatively simple in construction, strong, durable, reliable in use, and which may be manuiactured at low cost.
All of the foregoing and still further objects and advantages of the invention will become apparent from a study of the following specification, taken in connection with the accompanying drawings wherein like characters of reference designate corresponding parts throughout the several views, and wherein:
Figure 1 is an elevational view of an aerial bomb constructed in accordance with the present invention.
Figure 2 is a view in vertical section through the device, taken substantially on the line 22 of Figure 1.
Figure 3 is a horizontal sectional view, taken substantially on the line 3-3 of Figure 1.
Figure 4 is a detail view in vertical section, taken substantially on the line 44 of Figure 2.
Figure 5 is a detail view in elevation of the upper portion of the impact actuated plunger rod or stem.
Figure 6 is a View of a slight modification to be dropped in water, portions being broken away in section.
Figure 7 is an elevational view of the'lower portion of the modified plunger rod.
Figure 8 is a bottom plan view of the modified plunger.
Referring now to the drawings in detail, it will be seen that reference numeral I designates a are beveled on their inner ends to conform sub stantially to the corresponding ends of the barrels 4. Firing caps 8 are provided for the explois weighted, as at I5,
sive charges I. Arms 9-extend inwardly and downwardly from the lower portions of the barrels 4. Angular hammers Ill are pivotally mounted on the arms 9 for engagement with the firing caps 8.
Mounted in the upper end II of the shell I is a firing cap I2. An impact actuated plunger rod I3 extends slidably through the opening 3 into the shell I. It will be observed that the upper end of the plunger rod I3 is adjacent to but spaced from the cap I2. The plunger rod I3 is slldable in vertically spaced bearings or guides I4 which are provided therefor in the shell I. The substantially conical lower portion 2 of the shell I Above the weighted portion I5, the shell I contains an explosive I6.
Lugs II project from the plunger rod I3 adjacent the inner ends of the barrels 4. The lugs I! are beveled and engaged beneath the angular hammers I0.
It is thought that the manner in which the bomb functions will be readily apparent from a. consideration of the foregoing. Briefly, when the bomb is dropped, the weighted conical end portion 2 thereof causes the projecting end of the plunger rod ll3 to strike first. Upon impact, the plunger rod I3 is moved upwardly in the shell I and the lugs Il cause the angular hammers Ill to strike the firing caps 8 for igniting the charges 1 simultaneously in the barrels 4 for shooting the explosive projectiles 6. Immediately after this occurs, the plunger rod I3 strikes the firing cap I2 for igniting the explosive IS in the shell I. The lower portion of the plunger rod I3 is provided with a shear ring or collar I8 for preventing the bomb being exploded accidentally.
The bomb shown in Figures 1 to 5, inclusive, of the drawings is primarily for use on land. The embodiment illustrated in Figures 6, 7 and 8 of the drawings is intended to be dropped into water. Accordingly, the plunger rod I3 is provided, on its lower end, with a substantially concavo-convex striking head In to insure proper actuation ,of said plunger. rod upon impact with the water.
It is believed that the many advantages of an aerial bomb constructed in accordance with the present invention will be readily understood, and
although preferred embodiments are as illustrated and described, itis to be understood that further modifications and changes in the details of construction may be resorted to which will fall Within the scope of the invention as claimed. For example, an explosive may be substituted for the Weight I5 in the nose of the bomb and the upper or rear end thereof may be provided with stabilizing fins for directing said nose down wardly when the bomb is dropped.
What is claimed is:
An aerial bomb comprising a shell, an explosive in the shell, a multiplicity of barrels extending radially into the shell from the periphery thereof and having downwardly and outwardly beveled inner ends, projectiles in the barrels, explosive charges in the barrels behind said projectiles, containers, for said explosive chargesv beveled on the inner ends to conform substantially to the beveled inner ends of" the barrels, firing caps for the explosive charges, inwardly and downwardly inclined arms projecting from the barrels, angufiring cap for the first-named explosive in the otherend portion of the shell,v the plunger rod beingi engageablev withthe second-named cap for firing same after actuating the hammers.

The Mysteries of Procida
The Dead Christ parading in the procession of Good Friday is the very soul of Procida, the quintessential of the man's personal and intimate pain. These abandoned and bleeding limbs are venerated by many people. There is no superstition, just a great faith that drives anyone to the Church of St. Thomas Aquinas (via Marcello Scotti ), where the headquarters of the Congregation of Turchini and is exposed throughout the year, to feel the need instinctive to accept his hand, especially now that the reliquary of plexiglas that protects it, is to be replaced.
Easter emotions in Forio
Easter in Forio is a collection of faith, culture, history and tradition blend to create atmospheres and inimitable emotions.
Back in 1982, a group of young volunteers of the association Actus Tragicus every year on Fridays before Easter of Resurrection, starting at approximately at 20.00, puts up the Passion of Christ. Original sacred drama over a trail of about 1 km, dedicated to the last 12 hours of Jesus life.
The 'Ndrezzata' of Buonopane on Easter Monday
Is not linked to the Christ' resurrection but is symbol of a moment of peace and the end of hostility among people of Barano and Buonopane. In the 16th century, a fisherman from Barano is said to have given her girlfriend a coral necklace, but the same necklace was founded in the hands of a young guy from Buonopane.
Holy Week as popular tradition of the islands of Ischia and Procida
Holy week is rich in emotional moments to evoke the human passion of Jesus. The rites accompany the catholic liturgy and contribute to pass on and affirm even more the Christianity. Songs, performances, scenic representations that help the visitor to know the island tradition.
Easter in Ischia
The most important event of the Christianity, Easter, represents a time of sorrow that becomes time of joy afterwards. An important moment of cathartic re-birth through the sufferings of the God's Son, in which the man's sufferings live again. Christ dies and resurrects. And with Him, the Nature. Easter, in fact, has not the same date every year – the first Sunday after the first full moon and the vernal equinox – because it's the same date of the beginning of the fine weather and boasts ancient venerations linked to the passage of Winter and to the 'sunrise'.

Dam-Funk Drops Juicy Groove From the Year 3000 [MP3]
You don't need a flux capacitor, a DeLorean or Libyan plutonium to go back to the future. Not when DâM-FunK is around. L.A.'s spacey funkmonaut melts the past and the future of funk into one velvety groove. On his new track "3012 Luv Affair" from All City's L.A. Series 10" DâM-FunK travels back in time.
He creates a revisionist history of West Coast music. He lifts sound from the '70s and '80s synth funk age and completely skips over the development of West Coast hip hop. Instead of dropping the beats and rhymes like Snoop et al. served over funk samples, DF goes straight to the source. He imagines a world where hip-hop never happened and pushes funk into the next millennium--and beyond.

Monkeypox Scare Grounds Flight In Chicago 109
from the when-that's-the-good-news dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
As a follow-up, I should point out that TFA saying it is rare is a bit of a misnomer: It's rare in Europe and North America. In Africa, it's not very rare.
The description is incorrect, possibly because it's written by worthless, status-obsessed docs in shiny western offices, where they rarely encounter it.
However, if you had been lessed obsessed about artificially propped-up status and wages, and instead worked on the ground for a year or two in, say, Sierra Leone, or Congo, empirical evidence down there would tell you it's NOT rare, it IS highly contagious. But *fatalities* ARE rare.
Bedbugs used to be a thing of the past thanks to the wide spread use of DDT in the 50s. Their reemergence was only a matter of time now that it was banned. But, New York is a melting pot for people all over the world, and someone brought the bugs with them. Eventually they spread like wildfire and the rest they say is history.

Straight away this mod appealed to the massive Star Wars geek in me; Canonical ship stats, epic space battles that can last for a VERY long time depending on the make-up of each fleet - both of these are awesome, and the dev's have nailed them both.
In what may seem a paradox, both of these are also the games weak points.
1) The Unit tooltip's contain tons (or tonnes) of info; but some of it is just unnecessary. And this sometimes comes at the expense of potentially useful information. (What structure do I need to build this damn ship - Alt-Tabs to go check the relevant XML file)
2) Space battles can last a very LOOOOOOOOOOOONG time; I see a world defended by a sole space station, I'll jump a couple of Star Destroyers in there, take it out, and run away - except I can't. As much as I love the epic space battles, sometimes you just want it over with.
I suffered from quite a bit of lag, but that fault probably lies with my PC.
I hope my thoughts don't put others off of trying this mod, or even incite people to troll. Because no matter what I or you may think about this mod, there are two things to remember;
1) The Phoenix Rising team have pushed this game to what must be approaching the limit of the Alamo engine.
And more importantly
2) This mod team will have an idea in their collective heads about what their ideal EAW experience is; and they make this mod with the intention of realising it.
It irks me to no end when I see people (non-modders), who won't do the work themselves, criticise the efforts of those who will (modders).
In conclusion because I'm running out of space,
Some very good ideas that will appeal to some, and alienate others.
If I may end with a recommendation:
The ideas in this mod are brilliant, and would wonder if the team have considered doing a version of their mod for Sins Of A Solar Empire?
I think their ideas would benefit massively from the platform that game constitutes.

This is the best EaW mod that I've ever had the pleasure of playing, hands down. I love the dedication to detail and realism.

Not sure why all the other reviews are so horrible, possibly cause they didn't know how to instal it properly, or they have really bad computers. Awesome mod, way more star wars cannon (at least ship-wise) than all the other mods. Only reason that it doesn't get a ten is because there were some features removed from v1.1 to improve playability, but I thought were a benefit to the game.

While i looked realy forward to this mod, i was left dissapointed.
- gc lags to much for me, even though i can play raw with ease
- the balance between hull strength, shields and damage seems completely off. battles can last for ages, especially against the space stations
- particles could be way WAY better than this. it's also hard to distuinguish missiles and torpedo's
- unit description gives you info on the shields strenght, speed, hyperdrive rating and tons of other info that we don't need
- to much hero's
- land battles unplayable
please fix this mod!

This review may contain spoilers
The graphics are awesome, albiet laggy, the unit cap is awesome. the AI cheats. alot. skirmish matches are horrible, and the build times are horrible for everything. its really realistic though. but no, i dont recommend this now that ive actually played it. if you engoy a REALLY long GC, then this is for you. the land battles suck, just like in the original EaW
EDIT: I have now played this mod for about a week, and i generally enjoy the space battles now, although i cant wait for the skirmish AI to be fixxed. Be prepared to have a lot of AI ships in your base within 10 minutes, but once you finish them off, your only facing fighters. thats how broken the skirmish AI is in 1.1
Hopefully the 1.2 will be fixxed eh? solid 9/10

This mod has it all from an expanded Galactic Conquest mode to greatly expanded unit lists, and even a removal of hardpoints so a bomber squadron worth a fraction of the cost of your Star Destroyer can no longer remove its most powerful defense system by destroying its shield generator hardpoint in a single pass.
The battle duration is longer and more strategic, especially between capital ships which are renowned for being able to get into brutal slugging matches where any lesser ship would be obliterated, and fighter screens are still necessary lest a single squadron of X-Wings nibble your Star Destroyer to death with proton torpedoes while easily dodging its turbolasers. Of course, Star Destroyers do come with a hefty complement of various models of TIE strikecraft, so only Rogue Squadron could stand a chance against an ISD with those odds! One can also expect ships with a more diverse weapons array than in vanilla FoC, as it is a rare vessel that doesn't possess both turbolaser cannons and some sort of fighter defense, so your fleet is never totally at the mercy of bomber squadrons.
This mod aims for a more authentic and fun Star Wars experience with ships existing as sturdy multi-role units part of a coordinated fleet rather than a mix of whatever fragile glass cannons your enemy forgot to include a hard counter for, and it delivers aside from some bugs, but those minimally impact gameplay and can be ignored.

If I open the Console, which is configured floating mode, and then select Move to Right, the button doesn't appear for it. Is it a bug or a missing setting? (jEdit 4.3pre18, Console 4.4, MyDoggy 0.1) Thanks, Bert
> > To see what "undock" means, just drag the border between the edit pane > and the dockable towards the edit pane, and you'll see the difference > between "undocked" and "docked". Wow, that's cool. But still there is so much confusion with this (most notably the difference between the menu and the button bar), that I can still not use this framework. At least I wouldn't recommend to my users.
Well, for starters you could use it just for some additional value it has over jEdit's built-in docking framework: - Have multiple dockables share the same docking area (e.g. side by side). You can do this using multiple selection of the dockable buttons (Shift+Left-click). - See a "preview" of an invisible dockable by hovering the mouse cursor on its button - Have smaller dockable buttons that take less screen space (I think) You do not have to use all the features.

Hm. It might be related to floating free (without anchor button) mode. There is very much confusion caused by the terminology. Also the context menu on the title bar changes, and behaves a way I can't follow. So, I gathered some bugs about the docking framework. See below, please: - *For example some extreme confusion:* 1. Press right button on docking pane button, select Floating live. The docked window disappears but doesn't appear anywhere. (*BUG)* - Press the button twice, the dockable window appears: Press the dock button. - The window is docked with three buttons: Floating free, undock, floating - Press undock, the Console stays as it was (*BUG)* - Now I have a Dock and a Floating button, and I can drag&drop the console window somewhere, though it is actually in Floating Live mode, but the window doesn't behave as such. - Now I press the Floating button, and the separate window appears (the original window appears as an artifact on the screen *BUG*). The floating window now has a Fix button. - When I press the Fix button, the Console disappears (*BUG*). - Pressing right button on the docking pane button, I can see "Floating live" is selected. (*BUG/confusion - why?*) Now I press Docked mode. - The normal docked Console appears. I press the Floating button, then on the floating window, the Fix button. The docked console appears, but with different buttons, no Undock button *(BUG)* I right-click on the Console, I can see, that docked is selected So some very important suggestions, to eliminate confusion: - in the context menu, only toggleable properties (like pinned) should be toggleable. Other options should be: Dock, Float, Float live, Float without anchor. For example if the window is already floating, and the user selects Float, NOTHING should happen. The best if the already selected options is greyed out, disabled. - I think float live should be renamed Float, and Float should be renamed "Float as external window" or "float as root level window". In the latter case the window should appear in the system taskbar, and not just the task list. - There should be more help about floating modes. Also, the context menu and the button bar should reflect the same options. I'm happy to help with the fixes if needed, as I've been a jEdit plugin developer for 4 years now. Bert
Well, I just realized looking at MyDoggy website, that the behaviour that makes so much confusion, and is so unpredictable and buggy, is coming from the original MyDoggy framework, and not its integration. That's very unfortunate. :( Bert

WILKES-BARRE — Another period of frigid cold is set to embrace the Wyoming Valley, starting today.
WNEP meteorologist Tom Clark said an air mass will generate north of the Arctic Circle that will produce another blast of cold air in the Wyoming Valley.
"It's going to last quite a while," Clark said. "It is another portion of the polar vortex that's breaking loose and drifting southward towards Pennsylvania."
Temperatures are expected to be below average, with highs in the teens expected for the rest of the week. But, unlike the cold snap earlier this month, Clark said the winds will not be as gusty as they were, and wind chills should not be as extreme.
Clark does not expect the upcoming cold wave to break any records. Today's record cold temperature was -21 degrees without a wind chill. The forecast calls for a high in the mid teens.
Schools were canceled and some public services interrupted due to the dangerously cold weather earlier this month. The temperature on Jan. 7 dropped to -4 degrees, shattering a record cold temperature of 3 degrees for that date from 1988.
Clark said up to 2 inches of snow is possible today. He did not expect any significant snowfall amounts in the near future. While this sort of weather isn't abnormal for January, Clark said this cold stretch could last well into next week.
"It's going to be a colder than normal January when it's all said and done," he said.

February PromptAh, the month of love has come and it is time to give special notice to the romance of Kaidan Alenko. As you might expect this prompt to be something of the sappy, romantic, "twue love" (had to borrow from Princess Bride, sorry) connotation, let's not forget what comes on the other side of true love. Regret, longing, the should have's, could have's, what if's of love. Love never runs an easy course and it has been proven when you romance Kaidan, that it has indeed been a bumpy journey.February Prompt2 years ago in Deviant Events More Like This
In that vein, BloodBandit has gone down this route as a prompt for February. Instead of giving a month for this prompt, this will run two weeks. Since voting took so long, partly my fault for not getting to it in a timely manner, but I would like then start the next month's prompt on time.
Without further ado:

"For me, suspense doesn't have any value if it's not balanced by humor."
-Alfred Hitchcock
For as long as I can remember, I've found a great deal of joy in the horror genre. As a child, I loved to scare my siblings, donning Halloween masks and jumping out from behind doors with a scream. I would chase my younger sister around pretending to be a zombie coming for her brains and I loved the way she would run, literally screaming, from the room. In retrospect, it was pretty cruel, but we both laugh about it now (and are both fans of horror movies, though she not as much as I).
As I grew up, I still loved to scare people and began to delve into special effects, though unintentionally at first. One of my earliest "horror jokes" involved a candy gum that was called "Tongue Splashers" (http://cf.mp-cdn.net/aa/71/48ec4136a36abefe70d864224a13.jpg). This

Mass Effect 3 Extended Cut is Now AvailableSpoilers....Mass Effect 3 Extended Cut is Now Available3 years ago in Personal More Like This
The extended cut of Mass Effect 3 did more than just add a slideshow (although there actually was one at one point). BioWare has given players a new ending as well. Shepard can now tell the star child to go to hell and refuse to make a decision.
Here are all "4" endings, in case you don't want to waste your time playing the final 2 missions again.

Bioware: "Don't call it Mass Effect 4"In a move meant either to start out early distinguishing between the Shepard Trilogy and whatever BW have planned next, or just because they didn't like how simple it was to refer to it as "ME4", Chris Priestly, long runing Bioware Community Manager, said in a forum statement:Bioware: "Don't call it Mass Effect 4"2 years ago in Personal More Like This
"To call the next game Mass Effect 4 or ME4 is doing it a disservice and seems to cause a lot of confusion here. We have already said that the Commander Shepard trilogy is over and that the next game will not feature him/her. That is the only detail you have on the game.
"I see people saying 'well, they'll have to pick a canon ending'. No, because the game does not have to come after. Or before. Or off to the side. Or with characters you know. Or yaddayaddayadda. Wherever, whenever, whoever, etc will all be revealed years down the road when we actually start talking about it.

So this is the end of Mass Effect. Not just of the last game, but of the trilogy as a whole. Right now, I am of two minds. I am not wholly satisfied with the so called Extended Cut but at the same time it has some redeeming qualities to it that I can not, in good conscience, ignore:
It provides closure: For those who wanted to see what happened to the characters they came to love and the galaxy as a whole.
Injected some measure of reasoning to the actions/words of the God Child: They showed more of the logic behind the Reapers actions and how the Catalyst works.
There is something for everyone: The endings appear to be based on fan input/outcry.
The filled in some of the plot holes and contradictions: Not all of them, but by lessing the impact of the Catalyst, it showed that the damage was reversible.
It brings back some elements of classic science fiction.
Yet, two facts remain. One, the underlying logic behind the God Child is still flawed, although the designers lampsahe

What James Vega hatin' says about youThere are many factors that make a particular character resonate with a particular type of person. I find it fascinating when a character, especially one that gets so little actual story time in the Mass Effect games like James Vega, inspires such vitriol in an engaged audience. Everywhere his story is discussed, someone posts a nasty comment that they hate him or call him names.What James Vega hatin' says about you3 years ago in Art Features More Like This
I'm not arguing that the game creators didn't drop the ball on his story. He could have been much more interesting. But the qualities that Vega's fans see in him don't go skin-deep. Even his physical appearance hints at a hidden depth, which almost always affects other areas of life and character development. This is the reason why I started writing the James Vega origins story, The One That Got Away, to show how these shallow elements, hinted at in the game and the boring Homeworlds comic, could have been made into a really interesting story and likeable character.

There are moments when I wish I could just turn off my writer's sense at a whim and "just go with it". Ignore that a story in a game, or a movie, or a book, or a TV show is flawed in my opinion, just to enjoy the views, get an adrenaline rush from all the flashing colors and have fun. And truth be told - it usually works that way... Just not for the universes I tend to care about. If you got me invested in your franchise, I will expect you to deliver the goods. 'Tis how the cookie crumbles.
Which brings me to the Leviathan DLC. I've seen a lot of positive reviews and emotions towards it popping up all over the internet before I was even able to check it out myself. My hopes were high, and, initially, I loved it. It had a sense of exploration Mass Effect 3 was seriously lacking and the TGES Mining Base really reminded me of Noveria... It was spot on.

Youngsters went wild with excitement as their favourite bands performed at a show in the cityWhen they get into top gear, some rock musicians remove their shirts and continue to perform. Call it what you will, but it works with young rock fans. The youngsters, who had gathered at the Buck's Theatre for BAC's (Band Association of Chennai) second concert, went wild with excitement when Junkyard Groove's (JG) lead vocalist Ameeth flung away his shirt. When you ride the crest of a wave, anything you do only adds to the aura surrounding you. Having opened for Iron Maiden and Prodigy at the Desert Rock Festival (DRF) in Dubai, their stock has gone up. But even before DRF, JG had captured the hearts of rock fans around the country. With songs rooted in funk, rock and jazz, their compositions are counted among Chennai's achievements in rock music.
Treat for fansWhen they sang some of their best — Folk You, It's ok, Say Goodbye, Twinkle Twinkle and Save You — the audience went almost delirious. So much so, they ignored the MC's warning. Early on, head-bangers were ordered to keep a safe distance from the plank in front of the stage because it was set over waste matter and could not stand too much weight.JG boasts a great combination in Ameeth (vocals and rhythm), Siddharth (lead guitar), Craig (bass) and Jeremiah (drums); each one is capable of an extra trick. When Ameeth broke his guitar, Jeremiah entertained with a solo effort — a light-hearted Malayalam song. Siddharth proved his versatility in a duet with a Priyanka. Earlier, Stereotrip exploded on stage with its own list. This band is just off the block and already has 30 original songs to its credit. This self-reliance is largely attributed to lead vocalist Kishore Krishna, who is also the band's songwriter. The ideas behind the songs send you onto the back foot. The group began with `Plastic Hippie' ("as usual, our first song is about revolution") and things got murkier as they proceeded through `Pyromania' (an unhealthy interest in fire) and `Rubber Sword'. Nineteen-year-old Kishore seemed to have the right lines for every occasion. Stereotrip's problems with tuning seemed interminable and when a young fan asked them to get on with the music, "It's okay da!" said Kishore, "That's the other band, dude." He was referring to JG's song "It's ok". As part of BAC (which comprises 20 bands) these bands know one another very well. A sense of camaraderie among them was noticeable. The first band to perform, Null Friction, stayed till the end to cheer Stereotrip and JG. One of BAC's objectives is to "eliminate inter-band rivalry". Null Friction, a school band until last year, presented a mix of original and cover songs. Shreyans caused a flutter when he `strummed' the guitar with his lips midway through a song. This three-member band (Shreyans, vocals and lead guitar; Abhishek, bass guitar; and Ansh on the drums) are sold on Guns `n' Roses and Pink Floyd (they performed `Sweet Child of Mine' and `Another Brick In The Wall'), but they are always willing to experiment. Their original compositions — `Somehow', `Always Kept In The Dark', `Stuck Up' and `Reason To Rise' — are more than what you would expect from a boy band. PRINCE FREDERICK

'Star Wars: Episode VII' Cast Revealed
J. J. Abrams is helming the new "Star Wars" film, which will be set 30 years after the events of "Return of the Jedi."
The Force is with them.
John Boyega, Daisy Ridley, Adam Driver, Oscar Isaac, Andy Serkis, Domhnall Gleeson, and Max von Sydow will join the original stars of the saga, Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher, Mark Hamill, Anthony Daniels, Peter Mayhew and Kenny Baker, in Star Wars: Episode VII, the much-anticipated relaunch of the George Lucas sci-fi franchise now owned by Disney.
PHOTOS: 'Star Wars' Actors: Then and Now
The announcement was made Tuesday by Disney and Lucasfilm on the official Star Wars website.
The casting announcement caps off months of speculation about who would star as the trio of new leads in the J.J. Abrams-helmed film. Abrams, Lucasfilm and Disney have for months kept casting details as secretive as the plans for the Death Star.
But interest in the new movie has been so high that even simple actor meetings have been the subject of reports since last fall when it was first announced Abrams was actively on the hunt.

Boyega (Attack the Block) and Isaac's (Inside Llewyn Davis) names have been circulating as possible stars of the franchise for months. THR previously reported that Driver will be playing an undisclosed villain.
Ridley is a relative newcomer whose past work includes mostly TV and short films. Gleeson, who received a Tony Award nomination in 2006 for his part in the The Lieutenant of Inishmore, played Bill Weasley in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows parts one and two.
STORY: Learn more about the new stars of Star Wars: Episode VII
Serkis is known for his mocap work in Rise of the Planet of the Apes and the Lord of the Rings films. Veteran actor Von Sydow most recently received an Oscar nomination for his work in Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close.
Familiar faces from the original trilogy are expected to appear in the new film, which is slated to hit theaters on Dec. 18, 2015. Harrison Ford, Mark Hamill and Carrie Fisher are said to be returning, and, as THR exclusively reported, Peter Mayhew will reprise his role as Chewbacca.
In March, Walt Disney CEO Bob Iger said the new project would begin filming in May and will be set 30 years after the events in 1983's Return of the Jedi.

The Old Woman and the Hen
Reviewed by
Kristine Morris
Much-loved Canadian poet P. K. (Patricia Kathleen) Page (1916 - ) brings the wisdom and depth that comes of her many years to this delightful tale. Enhanced by exquisite original wood engravings created especially for the book by Jim Westergard, The Old Woman and the Hen is sure to bring enjoyment to children and adults alike.
Page's tale is the story of an old woman who lives alone and earns her food by doing small chores for her neighbors. One day, on her way home, she hears a hen calling out to her from the side of the road. Her heart is moved to compassion, and she picks up the bedraggled creature, puts it in her basket, and takes it home with her. She feeds and cares for the hen, even though it appears that it will never lay an egg. One day, she hears more "luck-lucking" than usual from the hen, and when she goes outside to find out what the trouble is, she discovers that it has laid a crystal egg.
As the old woman wonders at its beauty, a terrible scene appears within it—a flood is about to destroy the village and her own home will be carried away! Her attempts to warn the villagers brings laughter, and more—the old woman intuits that a young man in the crowd covets her hen. The egg confirms her suspicions with a vision of danger and she is forced to make a decision: should she hand over the hen, who has become her only real friend, to save her own life, or give up the egg that has provided a way for her to escape disaster?
Readers may be left wondering when they notice that the hen's "luck-luck" at the beginning of the tale has become the "cluck-cluck" of an everyday barnyard hen at its end: Is it a misprint? Or is it a message that magic can appear, specific to the needs of a situation, and then disappear when danger has passed?
Page's tale conveys respect for attitudes and traits of character like friendliness, compassion, clear thinking, openness, and generosity. While not denying the very real dangers that exist in the world, the author lets readers know that help can often come from unexpected sources, and that there is wisdom in being attentive to one's intuition. She also gracefully reveals how the power of a shared dream can sometimes shape the future in wondrous ways.
P. K. Page has written ten volumes of poetry, a novel, short stories, three children's books, a memoir, and a chapbook for young readers.

Has your DEWA bill gone up?
The results are in.
November 22, 2009 12:51 by Aarti Nagraj
Residents in Dubai have been complaining that their water and electricity bills for the month of September have doubled, although authorities at the Dubai Water and Electricity Authority (DEWA) have denied increasing tariffs.
The majority of our respondents – 65 percent – have said that their DEWA bill has risen by more than 50 percent. Another 25 percent said that their bill went up marginally. Only 5 percent of our respondents said that they bills didn't increase.
Many angry residents complained to DEWA and ranted to the media about the problem. They also created a group on social networking site Facebook called "My DEWA bill increased in September 09 by a crazy amount for no reason!" The group currently boasts 208 members, and some of them have been urging others to boycott the bill in order to force DEWA to do something about it.
But DEWA said in a statement earlier this month that there was no increase in tariff charges for electricity and water, and that the confusion was probably caused because of a change in the billing system. The new format calculates the tariffs between specific dates and not by the entire month, the authority said.

It's true! i was shocked to see my bill amount of AED 278!! My bills usually range anywhere between AED 50 – AED 80 average every month. DEWA need to get their act toogether.
Fluctuations because the bill is calculated straddling August and October as well still won't account for increases ranging from 50% to 500%
Get your act together DEWA and admit you botched the communication, implementation and execution of your new billing system. Stop being clowns and making excuses. if you want trust, people want truth.
I am shocked to see my bill for Oct 09. First I noticed that the bill is in a new format comparing to the Sept bill. Then I noticed my bill amount is almost double and I could not believe it. I used to monitor my electricity consumption daily and log it in a piece of paper for the last one year. And this helps me to get an idea about how much electricity I am consuming each month and how much it will cost me for each month. But when I see the bill there is no comparison between my actual readings and bill's actual reading for the month. I request Dewa guys must be more transparent, sensible, cooperative and more public friendly in the billing system.
What about Palm District Cooling? Less than 20% of my last bill was consumption charge, ie what I actually used. The rest was the monthly service charge (30 AED) and capacity charge. No idea what the latter is but it makes up about 75% of the total bill. Even if I don't use my air conditioning at all, I still have to pay around 240 AED per month in capacity charge – each and every month !! It's outrageous.
The water component of my DEWA bill has gone up 8 times, and I spend most of my time outside the country. DEWA is ripping us off !! and this is UNFAIR
I dont have the answer to why the bills are shooting up, but I do have a good prevention measure. Window film installed on glass windows reduces the heat coming into the property, and therefore lightens the load on your air conditioning unit as there's less work to remove the heat and replace with cooled air.
We estimate 10-15% monthly reduction at least on DEWA bills with a payback of around 3 years. This all depends on usage, but air con is usually 70% of a home energy bill in this region. (not counting pools). http://www.energysaving.ae to find out more. We even give you a report tailored to your home so you can see how much money you'll save AND how much reduction in your carbon emissions.

Hastings grad eases into music career with new album
It wasn't that long ago that Scott Schumann, a 2005 Hastings High School graduate, learned how to play guitar. But just a couple weeks ago, he released his first professional album.
Music has always been a passion of Schumann's, but it didn't always play such a prominent role as it does these days. When he was in high school, he was more involved in athletics, he said. But he did join the choir and improved his singing skills under director Lin Warren.

Belgian King Albert humbled by criticism
BRUSSELS (AP) - King Albert of Belgium has told 600 dignitaries that recent scandals involving his family have given him `'a lesson in humility."
During a royal reception Tuesday for political, economic and cultural leaders, Albert acknowledged that the Belgian monarchy had not kept to the standards he expected.
He said `'as the chief of my royal family, I will not hide from you that recent family events have hurt me and given me a lesson in humility."
Last week, Queen Fabiola, Albert's sister-in-law, was forced to scrap an inheritance foundation that was widely criticized as a tax dodge. And the king's son Prince Laurent again came under scrutiny for perceived diplomatic contacts that he should stay away from.

Terry Wilson has more than 25 years of industry experience.
IROCK Crushers, a manufacturer of screening and crushing equipment, has added Terry Wilson to the company as its sales manager for the Midwest. In his position Wilson will work in a consulting role to connect customers in construction, demolition, recycling and mining industries with IROCK dealers throughout the Midwest, from the North and South Dakota through Texas.
"I'm looking forward to bringing my background in mine development to the new position with IROCK," says Wilson. "My previous experience will help broaden and develop all aspects of IROCK's business."
Wilson brings more than 25 years of industry experience to IROCK. Wilson owned a rock quarry for more than 10 years and worked as a mining consultant and production manager at three mines. In these positions, he helped start up new mines for customers, oversaw stripping crews and production of mines and managed overburden removal.
In a release, Sean Donaghy, IROCK's national sales manager, says, "Terry is an asset to IROCK, bringing a fresh perspective to the team. Our ultimate goal is to connect customers with dealers that will provide them with the best products for their operations – whether aggregate, top soil, mine, quarry, or asphalt and concrete recycling. Wilson's expertise has enabled IROCK to further that consultative approach."
Wilson will work to develop a network of dealers and assist them in expanding into new products and markets with IROCK equipment, making sure needs are met and profits are increased with the most effective products.

Speaking to 200 social justice advocates, Gene Nichol delivered a powerful luncheon address at the Council's 2013 Legislative Seminar held April 11 at St. Mark's United Methodist Church in Raleigh. He received the Council's Faith Active in Public Life Award at the Seminar for his "courageous, dedicated, humane and compassionate witness in the political arena." Rev. George Reed, the Council's Executive Director, introduced Nichol by saying in part, "To know Gene is to see the embodiment of Catholic social teaching about social justice and the common good."
Nichol is the Director of the Center on Poverty, Work and Opportunity at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill School of Law. He also founded the Center for Civil Rights at UNC-CH in 2001 and was Dean of the Law School from 1999-2005. Nichol, who is Catholic, is also the Boyd Tinsley Distinguished Professor of Law.
