Researchers are baffled by a space rock trailed by six comet-like tails that has been spotted in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. Comets are essentially "dirty snowballs" that form tails of dust and gas when they orbit close enough to the sun to melt the ice in their cores, while asteroids are just rocks, which don't have any ice to melt. "This thing should just be a rock. Imagine if you went in your backyard and a rock suddenly started spouting this stuff off," said David Jewitt of the University of California, Los Angeles, lead author of a paper on the discovery published in Astrophysical Journal Letters. Jewitt speculates that the asteroid's spin rate has increased, causing it to fall apart and creating trails of dust.

Thanks for this great plugin!
I'd like to suggest for future versions adding the ability to create categories, and to sort/display data via categories via the Q.C. widget(s).
Also, I'd like the ability to be able to create & show more than one widget (which is not possible currently -we can only create/use one widget). I tried to get around this limitation by using the "Ad Codes Widget", which can display shortcodes, and then sorting the data by using Tags, but no luck - the Quotes Collection widget showed data which was tagged with a different tag to that which I'd specified in the QC widget settings/parameters (...so it's not obeying the Tag parameters that I'd set within it), and the Ad Codes widget worked, but the text was centered.... ah well, I'll just have to settle for one category it seems.
It would also be good to be able to sort Quotes via Tags or Categories in the back-end.
But I love this plugin, and would highly recommend it.
Thanks again.

Willa Cather's second novel, O Pioneers! (1913) tells the story of Alexandra Bergson and her determination to save her immigrant family's Nebraska farm. By placing a strong, self-reliant woman at the centre of her tale, Cather gives the quintessentially American novel of the soil a radical cast. Yet, although influenced by the democratic utopianism of Walt Whitman and the serene regionalism of Sarah Orne Jewett, O Pioneers! is more than merely an elegy for the
lost glories of America's pioneer past. In its rage for order and efficiency, the novel testifies to the cultural politics of the Progressive Era, the period of massive social and economic transformations that helped to modernize the United States in the years between the Civil War and World War. - ;'For the first time, perhaps, since that land emerged from the waters of geologic ages, a human face was set toward it with love and yearning. It seemed beautiful to her, rich and strong and glorious.'

Editorial Reviews
"This beautifully produced book is a joy to read and demonstrates the real pleasures to be derived from meticulous attention to detail and the highest standards of scholarship."—American Literary Scholarship
"The first of the Cather Scholarly Editions sets a high standard of quality. . . . Text and context reveal the splendor of O Pioneers! and enrich both the experience and study of Cather's extraordinary prose."—Western American Literature
O Pioneers! (1913) was Willa Cather's first great novel, and to many it remains her unchallenged masterpiece. No other work of fiction so faithfully conveys both the sharp physical realities and the mythic sweep of the transformation of the American frontier -- and the transformation of the people who settled it. Cather's heroine is Alexandra Bergson, who arrives on the wind-blasted prairie of Hanover, Nebraska, as a girl and grows up to make it a prosperous farm. But this archetypal success story is darkened by loss, and Alexandra's devotion to the land may come at the cost of love itself.
At once a sophisticated pastoral and a prototype for later feminist novels, O Pioneers! is a work in which triumph is inextricably enmeshed with tragedy, a story of people who do not claim a land so much as they submit to it and, in the process, become greater than they were.

Read an Excerpt
Chapter One
ONE JANUARY day, thirty years ago, the little town of Hanover, anchored on a windy Nebraska tableland, was trying not to be blown away. A mist of fine snowflakes was curling and eddying about the cluster of low drab buildings huddled on the gray prairie, under a gray sky. The dwelling-houses were set about haphazard on the tough prairie sod; some of them looked as if they had been moved in overnight, and others as if they were straying off by themselves, headed straight for the open plain. None of them had any appearance of permanence, and the howling wind blew under them as well as over them. The main street was a deeply rutted road, now frozen hard, which ran from the squat red railway station and the grain "elevator" at the north end of the town to the lumber yard and the horse pond at the south end. On either side of this road straggled two uneven rows of wooden buildings; the general merchandise stores, the two banks, the drug store, the feed store, the saloon, the post-office. The board sidewalks were gray with trampled snow, but at two o'clock in the afternoon the shopkeepers, having come back from dinner, were keeping well behind their frosty windows. The children were all in school, and there was nobody abroad in the streets but a few rough-looking countrymen in coarse overcoats, with their long caps pulled down to their noses. Some of them had brought their wives to town, and now and then a red or a plaid shawl flashed out of one store into the shelter of another. At the hitch-bars along the street a few heavy work-horses, harnessed to farm wagons, shivered under their blankets. About the station everything was quiet, for there would not be another train in until night.
On the sidewalk in front of one of the stores sat a little Swede boy, crying bitterly. He was about five years old. His black cloth coat was much too big for him and made him look like a little old man. His shrunken brown flannel dress had been washed many times and left a long stretch of stocking between the hem of his skirt and the tops of his clumsy, copper-toed shoes. His cap was pulled down over his ears; his nose and his chubby cheeks were chapped and red with cold. He cried quietly, and the few people who hurried by did not notice him. He was afraid to stop any one, afraid to go into the store and ask for help, so he sat wringing his long sleeves and looking up a telegraph pole beside him, whimpering, "My kitten, oh, my kitten! Her will fweeze!" At the top of the pole crouched a shivering gray kitten, mewing faintly and clinging desperately to the wood with her claws. The boy had been left at the store while his sister went to the doctor's office, and in her absence a dog had chased his kitten up the pole. The little creature had never been so high before, and she was too frightened to move. Her master was sunk in despair. He was a little country boy, and this village was to him a very strange and perplexing place, where people wore fine clothes and had hard hearts. He always felt shy and awkward here, and wanted to hide behind things for fear some one might laugh at him. Just now, he was too unhappy to care who laughed. At last he seemed to see a ray of hope: his sister was coming, and he got up and ran toward her in his heavy shoes.
His sister was a tall, strong girl, and she walked rapidly and resolutely, as if she knew exactly where she was going and what she was going to do next. She wore a man's long ulster (not as if it were an affliction, but as if it were very comfortable and belonged to her; carried it like a young soldier), and a round plush cap, tied down with a thick veil. She had a serious, thoughtful face, and her clear, deep blue eyes were fixed intently on the distance, without seeming to see anything, as if she were in trouble. She did not notice the little boy until he pulled her by the coat. Then she stopped short and stooped down to wipe his wet face.
"Why, Emil! I told you to stay in the store and not to come out. What is the matter with you?"
"My kitten, sister, my kitten! A man put her out, and a dog chased her up there." His forefinger, projecting from the sleeve of his coat, pointed up to the wretched little creature on the pole.
"Oh, Emil! Didn't I tell you she'd get us into trouble of some kind, if you brought her? What made you tease me so? But there, I ought to have known better myself." She went to the foot of the pole and held out her arms, crying, "Kitty, kitty, kitty," but the kitten only mewed and faintly waved its tail. Alexandra turned away decidedly. "No, she won't come down. Somebody will have to go up after her. I saw the Linstrums' wagon in town. I'll go and see if I can find Carl. Maybe he can do something. Only you must stop crying, or I won't go a step. Where's your comforter? Did you leave it in the store? Never mind. Hold still, till I put this on you."
She unwound the brown veil from her head and tied it about his throat. A shabby little traveling man, who was just then coming out of the store on his way to the saloon, stopped and gazed stupidly at the shining mass of hair she bared when she took off her veil; two thick braids, pinned about her head in the German way, with a fringe of reddish-yellow curls blowing out from under her cap. He took his cigar out of his mouth and held the wet end between the fingers of his woolen glove. "My God, girl, what a head of hair!" he exclaimed, quite innocently and foolishly. She stabbed him with a glance of Amazonian fierceness and drew in her lower lip—most unnecessary severity. It gave the little clothing drummer such a start that he actually let his cigar fall to the sidewalk and went off weakly in the teeth of the wind to the saloon. His hand was still unsteady when he took his glass from the bartender. His feeble flirtatious instincts had been crushed before, but never so mercilessly. He felt cheap and ill-used, as if some one had taken advantage of him. When a drummer had been knocking about in little drab towns and crawling across the wintry country in dirty smoking-cars, was he to be blamed if, when he chanced upon a fine human creature, he suddenly wished himself more of a man?
While the little drummer was drinking to recover his nerve, Alexandra hurried to the drug store as the most likely place to find Carl Linstrum. There he was, turning over a portfolio of chromo "studies" which the druggist sold to the Hanover women who did china-painting. Alexandra explained her predicament, and the boy followed her to the corner, where Emil still sat by the pole.
"I'll have to go up after her, Alexandra. I think at the depot they have some spikes I can strap on my feet. Wait a minute." Carl thrust his hands into his pockets, lowered his head, and darted up the street against the north wind. He was a tall boy of fifteen, slight and narrow-chested. When he came back with the spikes, Alexandra asked him what he had done with his overcoat.
"I left it in the drug store. I couldn't climb in it, anyhow. Catch me if I fall, Emil," he called back as he began his ascent. Alexandra watched him anxiously; the cold was bitter enough on the ground. The kitten would not budge an inch. Carl had to go to the very top of the pole, and then had some difficulty in tearing her from her hold. When he reached the ground, he handed the cat to her tearful little master. "Now go into the store with her, Emil, and get warm." He opened the door for the child.
"Wait a minute, Alexandra. Why can't I drive for you as far as our place? It's getting colder every minute. Have you seen the doctor?"
"Yes. He is coming over to-morrow. But he says father can't get better; can't get well." The girl's lip trembled. She looked fixedly up the bleak street as if she were gathering her strength to face something, as if she were trying with all her might to grasp a situation which, no matter how painful, must be met and dealt with somehow. The wind flapped the skirts of her heavy coat about her.
Carl did not say anything, but she felt his sympathy. He, too, was lonely. He was a thin, frail boy, with brooding dark eyes, very quiet in all his movements. There was a delicate pallor in his thin face, and his mouth was too sensitive for a boy's. The lips had already a little curl of bitterness and skepticism. The two friends stood for a few moments on the windy street corner, not speaking a word, as two travelers, who have lost their way, sometimes stand and admit their perplexity in silence. When Carl turned away he said, "I'll see to your team." Alexandra went into the store to have her purchases packed in the egg-boxes, and to get warm before she set out on her long cold drive.
When she looked for Emil, she found him sitting on a step of the staircase that led up to the clothing and carpet department. He was playing with a little Bohemian girl, Marie Tovesky, who was tying her handkerchief over the kitten's head for a bonnet. Marie was a stranger in the country, having come from Omaha with her mother to visit her uncle, Joe Tovesky. She was a dark child, with brown curly hair, like a brunette doll's, a coaxing little red mouth, and round, yellow-brown eyes. Every one noticed her eyes; the brown iris had golden glints that made them look like gold-stone, or, in softer lights, like that Colorado mineral called tiger-eye.
The country children thereabouts wore their dresses to their shoe-tops, but this city child was dressed in what was then called the "Kate Greenaway" manner, and her red cashmere frock, gathered full from the yoke, came almost to the floor. This, with her poke bonnet, gave her the look of a quaint little woman. She had a white fur tippet about her neck and made no fussy objections when Emil fingered it admiringly. Alexandra had not the heart to take him away from so pretty a playfellow, and she let them tease the kitten together until Joe Tovesky came in noisily and picked up his little niece, setting her on his shoulder for every one to see. His children were all boys, and he adored this little creature. His cronies formed a circle about him, admiring and teasing the little girl, who took their jokes with great good nature. They were all delighted with her, for they seldom saw so pretty and carefully nurtured a child. They told her that she must choose one of them for a sweetheart, and each began pressing his suit and offering her bribes: candy, and little pigs, and spotted calves. She looked archly into the big, brown, mustached faces, smelling of spirits and tobacco, then she ran her tiny forefinger delicately over Joe's bristly chin and said, "Here is my sweetheart."
The Bohemians roared with laughter, and Marie's uncle hugged her until she cried, "Please don't, Uncle Joe! You hurt me." Each of Joe's friends gave her a bag of candy, and she kissed them all around, though she did not like country candy very well. Perhaps that was why she bethought herself of Emil. "Let me down, Uncle Joe," she said, "I want to give some of my candy to that nice little boy I found." She walked graciously over to Emil, followed by her lusty admirers, who formed a new circle and teased the little boy until he hid his face in his sister's skirts, and she had to scold him for being such a baby.
The farm people were making preparations to start for home. The women were checking over their groceries and pinning their big red shawls about their heads. The men were buying tobacco and candy with what money they had left, were showing each other new boots and gloves and blue flannel shirts. Three big Bohemians were drinking raw alcohol, tinctured with oil of cinnamon. This was said to fortify one effectually against the cold, and they smacked their lips after each pull at the flask. Their volubility drowned every other noise in the place, and the overheated store sounded of their spirited language as it reeked of pipe smoke, damp woolens, and kerosene.
Carl came in, wearing his overcoat and carrying a wooden box with a brass handle. "Come," he said, "I've fed and watered your team, and the wagon is ready." He carried Emil out and tucked him down in the straw in the wagon-box. The heat had made the little boy sleepy, but he still clung to his kitten.
"You were awful good to climb so high and get my kitten, Carl. When I get big I'll climb and get little boys' kittens for them," he murmured drowsily. Before the horses were over the first hill, Emil and his cat were both fast asleep.
Although it was only four o'clock, the winter day was fading. The road led southwest, toward the streak of pale, watery light that glimmered in the leaden sky. The light fell upon the two sad young faces that were turned mutely toward it: upon the eyes of the girl, who seemed to be looking with such anguished perplexity into the future; upon the sombre eyes of the boy, who seemed already to be looking into the past. The little town behind them had vanished as if it had never been, had fallen behind the swell of the prairie, and the stern frozen country received them into its bosom. The homesteads were few and far apart; here and there a windmill gaunt against the sky, a sod house crouching in a hollow. But the great fact was the land itself, which seemed to overwhelm the little beginnings of human society that struggled in its sombre wastes. It was from facing this vast hardness that the boy's mouth had become so bitter; because he felt that men were too weak to make any mark here, that the land wanted to be let alone, to preserve its own fierce strength, its peculiar, savage kind of beauty, its uninterrupted mournfulness.
The wagon jolted along over the frozen road. The two friends had less to say to each other than usual, as if the cold had somehow penetrated to their hearts.

Cather is a very talented writer and uses many allusions making the book interesting and charming. Her decriptions of charachters such as Alexandra Bergson is imperssive, not to mention that the whole theme of this story is humbling and teaches a lesson. READ IT!!
This beautiful novel deserves much more than a five-star rating. One of the greatest American classics. Highly recommended for all.
I was a bit hesitant to read this because I have always hated 'classics' and I figured I'd have a difficult time getting into it. I was way off. I breezed right through this book and I loved it! I love reading about the hardships of the frontier life. Also this book is written really smoothly, none of the usual hard to read problem that a lot of classics have.
Willa Cather has written a wonderful and inventive novel about the open prarier and the hardships immagrent families had to face. I recommend this book to any one who is interested in romance, adventure, and historical novels. An all around great book
I am reading this book for school. I am a sophmore and i am already hooked, even though i am only on chapter 5! If we werent going so slowly and filling out worksheets, i would have already finished this book. I am so excited to finish it and i highly suggest it!
Although O Pioneers! May induce thoughts of adventure and toils on the risky Nebraska wild lands, it has a fairly calm tone. The adventures, or should I say slow happenings over a twenty- five year span, are about as exciting as watching the grass grow, which is almost what this book is about. When you meet the main character and her family, she is fifteen, with three brothers a dying father and a mother who complains of the old country. Even though the ground never got to bumpy and the wagon only tipped over once or twice, this story wasn't that bad. I think you could have cut out a few chapters of watching the grass grow and still had that never-ending life on the farm effect. I wouldn't recommend O Pioneers! If your looking for a suspense filled thriller but if you are looking for a nice calm book about the trials of pioneering, this is it.
Willa Cather demonstrates that she is at ease with her writing and with her idealization of pioneer life in early America. The story peeks into the heart of a true farmer, one who has an innate love for the land. With simplicity of language and an intriguing development of events, the author cradles the reader into the realm of Alexandra's passionate mission, and allows the reader to taste of the bitterness of the stubborn land as well as bask in the glory of the taming of the land. This is where 'John Steinbeck meets Laura Ingalls Wilder,' and the journey is filled with breathtaking prairies, suspenseful moments of tension, and the joy of life, itself! This is Willa Cather in her most natural voice, a voice filled with wisdom, trasparency, and the pain that develops from failure while forming the substance of character.
Should be required reading for everyone.
This is a well written book. Willa Cather is an excellent author and knows how to hold one's interest. Vewy interesting to read and fairly easy. Really enjoyed it.
While this book was not exciting, nor did it particularly have anything to keep me vitally interested, it was a good look at the lives of some of America's pioneers, exploring not only their lives and circumstances, but many of their feelings. It affirmed that people in that time were very much like us in desires and needs; but often their opportunities to meet those needs and desires was greatly diminished. Many good insights into a life past, and plenty to make me very grateful for the "easy" life I have.
Wonderful book.
Such beautiful descriptive words (and that's saying something for the Nebraska prairie). As with her other books, she first paints a picture of the landscape and you don't realize that the story has also been hued into the painting.
A classic by far that talks about what it was like in the west.
Beautifully written? I suppose so. Personally I like novels with more action, so this one is just good for bedtime reading. Moves so slowly it puts me to sleep.
O Pioneers!By Willa Cather was written in 1913 and is considered the first novel of the Great Plains trilogy. The novel has many themes including isolation, love and feminism. The Bergsons immigrated from Switzerland to Hanover, Nebraska at the turn of the 20th Century. When the patriarch of the family dies, his daughter Alexandra, inherits the farm and devotes her life to making it a viable enterprise at a time when others give up and leave. I've only been recently introduced to the writing of Willa Cather. I believe it was on some "top 100" list (who said they're lame?) and figured I'll give it a try. O Pioneers! by Willa Cather is considered a classic and I can certainly understand why. The writing is outstanding and it has all the makings of the great American novel. The story tells of hard work, wide eyed innocence towards the future and opportunities abound as seen through the eyes of the immigrant class. The scenery plays a major part in the novel, the lyrical episodes about the pastoral land are sprawling and majestic. As is with many other novels, the setting of the harsh and beautiful land is playing out as another character in the book. The Midwestern prairie which the pioneers labor over is an essential part of character development and profound understanding of themselves, the land and life. On the contrary, the parts which deal with people are concise and sparring much like the personalities of those that worked the acrid land. Cather manages to convey the sense of community despite the vastness of the land, a testament to her writing skills and ability to personalize a storyline. While I loved the descriptions and prose, the dialog seemed a bit stilted, it just didn't seem as if that's how the characters wouldspeak, especially when among friends and relatives. However the storyline is exemplary and the characterization – amazing; I found myself caring about the people in the story and breathlessly waiting to find out what will happen to them.

MLA is such a great plugin! It's a huge improvement for managing all the PDF publications our work website has - as you can imagine, it was a bit of a nightmare before this plugin.
The problem I'm having is I'd like to create a PDF gallery that pulls PDFs from multiple parent pages and links to the parent page url instead of the file or attachment url. Hopefully that explanation makes some sense.
Here's an example of what I'm trying to do:
Each of the first 3 "Resources" have their own page with a description about that publication & the PDF file link. I am trying to replicate this "Resource" list function with MLA.
Another example is Oxfam's publications' webpage - it works in a similar way (even though their website is Plone and not WP):
Thanks so much for your help!

• Nuggets-Lakers series scouting report | Series page
George Karl loves having his players make immediate decisions after they catch the ball, whether it is to drive, pass or shoot. He wants the ball moving quickly, which forces the defense to move with it and ultimately opens up lanes for his talented players to exploit. But the irony he is forced to face is that his top two players are considered to be among the biggest ball-stoppers in the NBA. Standing and holding the rock (as Carmelo Anthony often does) and lateral dribbling (as Allen Iverson is known to do) allow the defense to consistently reset and re-orient toward the main threats.
When the Nuggets move the ball, they can light up any defense. When Melo or AI stops the ball, sometimes their talent is enough to find a way to win. But for Denver in the playoffs, especially against the No. 1 seed and well-prepared Lakers, holding the ball has added up to lots of horrible shots and three losses. The Nuggets are now faced with a potential sweep, an all-but-certain first-round loss and possibly the end of the short-lived combination of their two star players.
Los Angeles has certainly made it difficult for Melo to get buckets. He always has to deal with his own defender -- often the tall and long Vladimir Radmanovic, who has played him straight up (mostly) and invited him to shoot perimeter shots. But the Lakers also have pulled Derek Fisher toward him, allowing Fisher to swipe at his dribbles or clog up any middle drives. Plus, to further cut off Melo's angles to the basket, the Lakers have dragged Lamar Odom over to the same "box" Melo is in.
These tactics would be risky maneuvers if the Nuggets would employ some quick, "swing, swing" passing action, which could end up with a dunk, interior foul or a wide-open 3-point shot in the opposite corner. But the Lakers counted on Melo holding, reading and then either shooting or driving into the teeth of the defense. His catching and squaring without passing killed any chances for him or his team to get easy looks. Melo finished Game 3 with 5-for-22 shooting and is now 24-for-68 for the series. Iverson shot 5-for-16 and is 26-for-61 in the three games. The rest of the Nuggets, who feed off of these two, went 22-for-48 in Game 3. Imagine if they got 68 shots. George Karl is thinking about that right now.
Because of AI's ability to finish against guards and wings, the Lakers challenged their bigs to make things difficult on him. The Spurs employed a similar strategy against Iverson last season, to great success. Iverson is still an incredible athlete and as relentless as ever, but he's not very good at finishing over guys like Odom and Pau Gasol. Those two guys have mostly ignored their own men, allowing Kenyon Martin to finish 6-for-11 -- including some incredible dunks that should have energized every Nugget player and fan in the building. Marcus Camby, who likes to get some shots each half and thus feel a part of the offensive end of the floor, didn't get many looks, going 0-for-2 for the game. There is no more telling statistic than AI and Melo combining for four total assists in Game 3 -- half the number Kobe dished out himself.
Denver's effort on defense was adequate for awhile, as they were shading off of guys like Odom and Fisher and forcing Kobe to look at numerous white jerseys in his path to the basket. But players who get shut out of their offense tend to lose interest on defense, and so it went for the Nuggets. They again did a fine job in transition, making the Lakers work harder than they had to in Game 1. But Denver's attention to detail was poor throughout the game: the Nuggets gave up easy baskets on simple initial actions, like a back screen involving Melo and Camby's men. L.A. seemed content to run its triangle, trying to make easy plays every time down and focusing on not turning the ball over (eight turnovers for the game). Denver didn't do anything to shake the Lakers out of their rhythm.
Of the 16 playoff teams, no single team has been more disappointing or has played worse than the Nuggets. They were horribly disinterested in defending in Game 1. Then in Game 3, they were incredibly unwilling to move the ball quickly against a well-prepared defense. Once again, the postseason has been a nightmare for this group of talented individuals. But it should be over soon.

Busy line interrupt
Busy line interrupt, also known as emergency breakthrough, is a function on land line telephones that allows a caller to interrupt a phone conversation of another caller,[1] especially one who does not have call waiting.
Much like long distance calling before the late 90s, busy line interrupt is a service provided, for instance, to allow people to contact a family member in the event of an emergency if the receiving party's line is busy and the news cannot wait.
The service is not free and is charged whether or not the calling party can reach the person on the other end (as the phone just might be off the hook for privacy reasons or the line might be connected to the internet). For this reason, it is usually only used in cases of emergencies as noted above.
In the early 1990s, reports were surfacing that "phone phreakers" were having success in manipulating the line interruption function with signaling tones and equipment that emulated the telephone operator's. It was claimed to be possible to eavesdrop on any engaged telephone line by number.[citation needed]

I'm sure this is covered elsewhere, but how can I set up a image list which triggers a gallery as shown under "Image list" in the demo page?
Any addon/ additional plugin required?
I'd really like to use
- quite large thumbnails (I tried to regenerate thumbnails without luck)
- and have the gallery to display with the same overlay effect (not thickbox?)
- and preferably also with those previous/ next overlay buttons and cations
I'm sure many like this way of displaying galleries, so a How to link on the demo page would have been great
Thanks a lot,

Hans Joachim Pabst von Ohain (14 December 1911 – 13 March 1998) was a German physicist, and designer of the first operational jet engine.[1] His first design ran in March 1937, and it was one of his engines that powered the world's first flyable all-jet aircraft, the prototype of the Heinkel He 178 (He 178 V1) in late August 1939. In spite of these early successes, other German designs quickly eclipsed von Ohain's, and none of his engine designs entered widespread production or operational use.
Von Ohain started to independently develop his first turbojet engine designs during the same period that Frank Whittle was working on his own similar designs in Britain, their turbojet designs are said by some to be an example of simultaneous invention.[2] However, Frank Whitttle was already working on his design in the late 1920s and openly Patented the design in 1930, a full seven years before Ohhain's design ran. Von Ohain's first jet engine, the Heinkel HeS 1 ran successfully in April 1937, the same month that Whittle's first engine, the Power Jets WU First Model also ran successfully.[3] Ohain's jet engine was the first to fly operationally within the Heinkel He 178 aircraft in 1939, which was followed by Whittle's engine with-in the Gloster E.28/39 in 1941.[4] Operational jet fighter aircraft from both Germany and Britain entered operational use virtually simultaneously in July, 1944.[5] After the war the two men met, and became friends.[6]
Early life and jet development[edit]
Born in Dessau, Germany, he earned a Ph.D. in Physics and Aerodynamics from the University of Göttingen, then one of the major centers for aeronautical research, and was lectured by Ludwig Prandtl.[7] During his studies, in 1933 he conceived of "an engine that did not require a propeller." After receiving his degree in 1935, Ohain became the junior assistant of Robert Wichard Pohl, then director of the Physical Institute of the University.
In 1936, while working for Pohl, von Ohain earned a patent on his version of jet engines, Process and Apparatus for Producing Airstreams for Propelling Airplanes.[8] Unlike Frank Whittle's Power Jets WU design, von Ohain's design used a centrifugal compressor and turbine placed very close together, back to back, with the flame cans wrapped around the outside of the assembly.
While working at the University, von Ohain often took his sports car to be serviced at a local garage, Bartles and Becker. Here he met an automotive mechanic, Max Hahn, and eventually arranged for him to build a model of his design for around 1,000 ℛℳ. The completed model was even larger in diameter than Whittle's 1937 fully working engine, although much shorter along the thrust axis. Von Ohain took the model to the University for testing but ran into serious problems with combustion stability. Often the fuel would not burn inside the flame cans and would be blown through the turbine sending shooting flames out the back and overheating the electric motor powering the compressor.
In February 1936, Pohl wrote to Ernst Heinkel telling him of von Ohain's design and its possibilities. Heinkel arranged a meeting between his engineers and von Ohain during which he argued that the current "garage engine" would never work but that the concept upon which it was based was sound. The engineers were convinced and in April von Ohain and Hahn began working for Heinkel at the Marienehe airfield outside Rostock, in Warnemünde.
A study of the model's airflow resulted in several improvements over a two-month period. Encouraged by these findings, von Ohain produced a new prototype that would run on hydrogen gas supplied by an external pressurised source. The resulting Heinkel-Strahltriebwerk 1 (HeS 1), German for Heinkel Jet Engine 1, was built by hand-picking some of the best machinists in the company, much to the chagrin of the shop-floor supervisors. Hahn, meanwhile, worked on the combustion problem, an area in which he had some experience.
The engine was extremely simple, made largely of sheet metal. Construction started late in the summer of 1936, and completed in March 1937. It ran two weeks later on hydrogen, but the high temperature exhaust led to considerable "burning" of the metal. The tests were otherwise successful, and in September the combustors were replaced and the engine was run on gasoline for the first time. Von Ohain had at last, albeit 5 months after Whittle, run a self-contained turbojet. Running on gasoline proved to clog up the combustors, so Hahn designed a new version based on his soldering torch, which proved to work much better. Although the engine was never intended to be a flight-quality design, it proved beyond a doubt that the basic concept was workable. Von Ohain had caught up with Whittle at last. From now on, with vastly more funding and industry support, Von Ohain would soon overtake Whittle and forge ahead.
While work on the HeS 1 continued, the team had already moved on to the design of a flight-quality design, the HeS 3. The major differences were the use of machined compressor and turbine stages, replacing the bent and folded sheet metal, and a re-arrangement of the layout to reduce the cross-sectional area of the engine as a whole by placing the flame cans in an extended gap between the compressor and turbine. The original design proved to have a turbine area that was simply too small to work efficiently, and increasing the size of the turbine meant the flame cans no longer fit in the gap correctly. A new design, the HeS 3b was proposed, which moved the flame cans out of the gap and modified their shape to allow the widest part of the cans to lie in front of the compressor's outer rim. In the 3b, compressed air was piped forward to the combustion chambers, and from there the now-hot air flowed rearward into the turbine inlet. While not as small as the original HeS 3 design, the 3b was nevertheless fairly compact. The 3b first ran July 1939 (some references say May), and was air-tested under the Heinkel He 118 dive bomber prototype. The original 3b engine soon burned out, but a second one was nearing completion at about the same time as a new test airframe, the Heinkel He 178, which first flew on 27 August 1939, the first jet-powered aircraft to fly by test pilot Erich Warsitz.
Work started immediately on larger versions, first the HeS 6 which was simply a larger HeS 3b, and then on a new design known as the HeS 8 which once again re-arranged the overall layout. The 8 separated the compressor and turbine, connecting them with a long shaft, placing a single annular combustion chamber between them, replacing the individual flame cans. It was intended to install the engine on the Heinkel He 280 fighter, but the airframe development progressed much more smoothly than the engine, and had to be used in gliding tests while work on the engine continued. A flight-quality HeS 8 was installed in late March 1941, followed by the first flight on 2 April. Three days later the aircraft was demonstrated for a party of Nazi and RLM officials, all of whom were impressed. Full development funds soon followed.
By this point there were a number of turbojet developments taking place in Germany. Heinkel was so impressed by the concept that he had brought on Adolph Müller from Junkers, who was developing an axial compressor-powered design, renamed as the Heinkel HeS 30. Müller had left Junkers after they purchased the Junkers Motoren company, who had their own project under way, which by this time was known as the Junkers Jumo 004. Meanwhile, BMW was making good progress with their own design, the BMW 003.
By early 1942 the HeS 8, officially the 109-001 (HeS 001), was still not progressing well. Meanwhile, Müller's HeS 30, officially the 109-006 (HeS 006), was developing much more quickly. Both engines were still some time from being ready for production, however, while the 003 and 004 appeared to be ready to go. In early 1942 the director of jet development at the RLM, Helmut Schelp, refused further funding for both designs, and ordered Heinkel to work on a new "pet project" of his own, eventually becoming the Heinkel HeS 011. Although this was the first of Schelp's "Class II" engines to start working well, production had still not started when the war ended. Work continued on the HeS 8 for some time, but it was eventually abandoned in the spring of 1943.
It has long been claimed that von Ohain was unaware of Whittle's work and while in a very strict sense this may be true - (in that he was unaware of Whittle's experiments at Lutterworth where the RAF engineer ran the world's first jet engine in March 1937), von Ohain had thoroughly studied Whittle's various patents for gas turbine engines (as is normal professional practice for any academic working in a similar field) prior to filing his own patent which was granted in 1935, some 5 years after Whittle's. In his biography [9] von Ohain is remarkably frank in his professional critique of Whittle's design.
"When I saw Whittle's patent I was almost convinced that it had something to do with boundary layer suction combinations. It had a two-flow, dual entrance flow radial flow compressor that looked monstrous from an engine point of view. Its flow reversal looked to us to be an undesirable thing, but it turned out that it wasn't so bad after all though it gave some minor instability problems." (This is something of an ironic statement, as this reverse flow design is the predominant layout in turboprops worldwide today). Von Ohain went further saying "Our patent claims had to be narrowed in comparison to Whittle's because Whittle showed certain things." He then somewhat understandably justified their knowledge of Whittle's work by saying "We felt that it looked like a patent of an idea" "We thought that it was not seriously being worked on."
After the war[edit]
In 1947 von Ohain was brought to the United States by Operation Paperclip and went to work for the United States Air Force at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. In 1956 he was made the Director of the Air Force Aeronautical Research Laboratory and by 1975 he was the Chief Scientist of the Aero Propulsion Laboratory there.
During his work at Wright-Patterson, von Ohain continued his own personal work on various topics. In the early 1960s he did a fair amount of work on the design of gas core reactor rockets which would retain the nuclear fuel while allowing the working mass to be used as exhaust. The engineering needed for this role was also used for a variety of other "down to earth" purposes, including centrifuges and pumps. von Ohain would later use the basic mass-flow techniques of these designs to create a fascinating jet engine with no moving parts,[10] in which the airflow through the engine created a stable vortex that acted as the compressor and turbine.
This interest in mass-flow also led von Ohain to research magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) for power generation,[11] noting that the hot gases from a coal-fired plant could be used to extract power from their speed when exiting the combustion chamber, remaining hot enough to then power a conventional steam turbine. Thus an MHD generator could extract further power from the coal, and lead to greater efficiencies. Unfortunately this design has proven difficult to build due to a lack of proper materials, namely high-temperature non-magnetic materials that are also able to withstand the chemically active exhaust. Ohain also investigated other power related concepts.[12]
He also invented[13] the idea of the "jet wing", in which air from the compressor of a jet engine is bled off to large "augmented" vents in the wings to provide lift for VTOL aircraft. A small amount of high-pressure air is blown into a venturi, which in turn sucks a much larger volume of air along with it, thus leading to "thrust augmentation". The concept was used in the Rockwell XFV-12 experimental aircraft, although the market interest in VTOL aircraft was short-lived. He participated in several other patents.[14]
Ohain was the influence in shifting the mind of his student at WP-AFB Paul Bevilaqua from math to engineering,[15] which later gave Paul the ability to invent the Rolls-Royce LiftSystem for the JSF F35B STOVL: "in school I learned how to move the pieces, and Hans taught me how to play chess".[16] Ohain also showed Bevilaqua "what those TS-diagrams actually mean".[17]
During his career, von Ohain won many engineering and management awards, including (among others) the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA) Goddard Astronautics Award, the United States Air Force Exceptional Civilian Service Award, Systems Command Award for Exceptional Civilian Service, the Eugene M. Zuckert Management Award, the Air Force Special Achievement Award, and just before he retired, the Citation of Honor. In 1984–85, Ohain served as the Charles A. Lindbergh Chair in Aerospace History, a competitive senior fellowship at the National Air and Space Museum.[18] In 1991 von Ohain and Whittle were jointly awarded the Charles Stark Draper Prize for their work on turbojet engines. He was a member of the U.S. National Academy of Engineering (NAE).
He retired from Wright-Patterson in 1979 and took up an associate professor position at the nearby University of Dayton. Ohain was awarded the Ludwig-Prandtl-Ring from the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Luft- und Raumfahrt (German Society for Aeronautics and Astronautics) for "outstanding contribution in the field of aerospace engineering" in 1992. He later moved to Melbourne, Florida, with his wife Hanny, where he died in 1998. He is survived by four children.

Karen did a good job with my family matter case which was a difficult situation that I was not prepared for. She was understanding of my situation and was informative. My particular case did not involve a lengthy process however if problems arise with this again which I am sure it will I will certainly call her again.

Karen Boston did not give me an answer when I asked her why she could not represent me. I offered to pay for legal advice and she refused the offer. I would never recommend her to anyone. She may have had a valid reason not to represent me and give me advice but she would not say WHY she would not do that. I don't understand why she did not tell me WHY she could not represent me.

|ZBB > SEC Filings for ZBB > Form 8-K on 9-Nov-2012
|All Recent SEC Filings
Change in Directors or Principal Officers, Financial Statements and Exhibits
On November 7, 2012, the Board of Directors of ZBB Energy Corporation (the "Company") approved the following revisions to the Company's Director Compensation Policy (the "Policy").
1. Restricted Stock Unit ("RSU") Awards made to non-employee directors under the Policy will now be made under the Company's 2012 Non-employee Director Equity Compensation Plan rather than the Company's 2010 Omnibus Long-term Equity Incentive Plan.
2. In light of the fact that in the Company's June 2012 underwritten public offering shares were sold to the public at $0.38, the price to be used to determine the number of RSUs to be issued on the date of the 2012 Annual Meeting shall be $0.38 (the "Fiscal 2013 RSU Awards").
As a result of using $0.38, rather than the current trading price of the Company's common stock, to determine the number of Fiscal 2013 RSU Awards to be issued, the number of awards to be issued to non-employee directors for fiscal 2013 will be reduced by approximately forty two percent.
The exhibits required to be filed as a part of this Current Report on Form 8-K are listed in the Exhibit Index attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference.

A term to replace "welfare mom". Since new age liberalism is all about changing history and titles. Welfare mom is so 1980ish and needs to be replaced with hipper title to fit with the Idiot-in-Chief's reclassifying American society. Thus, change we can believe in.

Israel's Labor Party Gets New Leader as Herzog Wins Race
Israel's opposition Labor Party elected parliament member Isaac Herzog as its new leader in an upset victory over incumbent Shelly Yachimovich, a change that could help peace negotiations with the Palestinians.
Results announced by party officials at a press conference today following balloting yesterday showed Herzog taking 58 percent of the vote, and Yachimovich 42 percent. A poll conducted by television's Channel 2 news last week had Yachimovich leading by about 30 percentage points.
Herzog, 53, a lawyer before entering politics, is the son of former Israeli President Chaim Herzog and has held several ministerial positions in previous governments. Yachimovich is a former journalist who has emphasized economic issues during her political career, rather than peacemaking with the Palestinians, a traditional Labor focus.
"Herzog is an experienced political figure with established positions on peace and security issues, who is more capable of unifying the center-left than Yachimovich," said David Newman, a political scientist at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev in Beersheba. The new Labor leader will also probably be more open to the possibility of joining Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's coalition under certain conditions, Newman said in a phone interview.
Herzog, speaking after his victory, said "brave steps" were needed now to reach peace with the Palestinians. "I'm not sure -- I have serious doubts -- if Prime Minister Netanyahu understands this, or can take these actions," Herzog said in remarks broadcast on Israel Radio.
Center Stage
Labor is the third-biggest party in Israel's parliament, holding 15 of the Knesset's 120 seats, and leads the opposition. Labor last held power under Ehud Barak in 2001.
Justice Minister Tzipi Livni, Israel's chief negotiator in talks with the Palestinians, congratulated Herzog and called on Labor to join the government in order to advance peace efforts.
"Now, after Labor has completed its internal elections, it has to decide if it's going to be a party that sits in the wings, or one that is going to come center stage in order to help change the future scenario for all of us -- because the peace process needs its unconditional support," Livni said in an e-mailed statement.
