Adds a configurable Energy Bar at the top of your screen indicating current Battery level. And just when you think, such a simple battery bar can display such a crucial information, try plugging in your charger - you'll be amazed by the details of the animation you'll see. The pulsating animation and the bar together not only indicates the current Battery level but also how much has the Battery charged since you plugged in your charger.
✓ An interactive UI to configure the Bar live, which reflects your color choice on both the Bar and the UI itself.
✓ Can be aligned left-right-center of the screen.
✓ Multiple colors option - the Bar changes color in every 20% Battery level interval.
✓ Thickness of the Bar can be configured.
✓ Option to start the Bar automatically on phone restart.
✓ Options to keep a shortcut to either hide or configure the Bar instantly from notification panel.
✓ Puts 0% load on CPU when running on Battery, on Battery level changes, system wakes up the Bar momentarily to update.

Nice!! Didn't realize how much I liked this little app until I uninstalled it for additional space. Reinstalled as soon as I could. This app is a keeper. Saw other apps that are similar and function like this one but they feel gimmicky and look cheap. This app actually adds to the look of your phone(mine: GS4) instead of taking away and the have been improvements instead of set backs. All I can say is keep up the good work. 5 Star App.
Marco Davis
Few problems. I really like this app. It's handy when watching a video or playing a game and the notification bar is hidden. Problems include: force closing and random shut downs.
James Walsh
Nice! Good looking, surprisingly useful, little app. One of those things where you didn't know you needed it till you used it. Any chance of an app blacklist? It kinda looks silly on top of my desk clock.
Matt Shockley
Want to love it Frequently crashes and needs to be restarted. Too bad because this is an otherwise well designed and useful app.
Jason Teo
Back then.. there was this feature that i had to tap once, to have the colors automatically done up for me according to the percentage of my battery. this feature disappeared when it became more customizable. what im asking is: either, have a automatic color feature, or to have a few presets to choose from. thanks.
Kelly McAlvain
Does the job well The only problem is that the charging pulse still continues well after I have unpluged my charger from my phone?

I think I got it, you're talking about the default 4 segments in 'multicolor' mode in the older version. Oh well! Trust me this new upgrade is much better, and it will barely take few seconds to setup the way you want. Color bar Its says you can change the color of the bar by splitting the bar. However I could not split the bar and could not locate any detail info on how to do this. I tried moving the preview bar and the two bars that change the color but it kept bring up the color chart.
IJP November 30, 2014
Hi Ron! Go to the COLORS tab, there, if you want to make the splits, scroll back the progress bar and drop it at your desired position and you will see the split happening. Help! I love this app but it auto deactivates randomly when I'm on a nother app. I have reactivate it each time.
IJP March 28, 2015
Issue is going to be addressed in the next update, coming VERY soon. :) Lovely app This app is simple, useful, and looks good. It allows me to see my battery status at a glance, instead of squinting at a tiny number that takes up space on my status bar. I do like the idea another reviewer had of having an app blacklist, as Energy Bar can be distracting in some full-screen apps. By the way, I'm running CyanogenMod 11 now, and Energy Bar runs just fine (not that I expected any problems, since CM is closely based on vanilla Android).
IJP May 2, 2014
I was reading through your review again and I was wondering how come you face the problem even after the update... and then I read the "Edit:...", phew! :D Cool little app. It's funny how useful a tiny app like this one can be. I installed it a few days ago and it has helped me a lot to check out my battery level. It looks cool on my phone, too. And it works great. Congratulations and thanks to the devs. [Working great on an i9300 running CM11 13/11/14.]
This is just perfect. Altough I would like to request a feature. In MIUI ROM this application does not show up on the running/recent applications screen, so I cannot lock it, so every time I press the autoclose button, this application closes. Please show an icon in MIUI ROMs recent applications screen!
Brilliant app. I thought of this idea myself then went on to the play store to see if it had been made and here it is! Looks brilliant and is very customisable. My only gripe is the lack of a hide during full screen function. It's a little distracting having a green bar over all my YouTube videos. If it wasn't for that this would be an easy 5*.
IJP September 4, 2014
Ha! Well, some do want it to be displayed while watching a video. It becomes crucial to keep track of battery while.. say playing a movie. But I do get that such an option would be wonderful but unfortunately there is no direct way to detect a full screen App running. Good one for my nexus It would be nice if it has multiple color based on the battery percentage. Ex- 20% lower red like that.....
IJP May 6, 2014
You can already do that, check out the 'GUIDE' of the App and refer to the screenshots! :) Wonderful! - with some bugs I love how simple and thoughtful this app is. And I also have a lot of admiration for the developer for adding some really handy and sensible features. Way to go! :D [Update: Noticed that the bar sometimes disappears after unlocking the phone and I have to open the app again to start it. Btw, I closed it with the 'X' button.]
Great app! The color segments sliders could be rangesliders with start & end handlers. Do you plan on creating similar apps for cpu, folder size, etc...
IJP April 22, 2014
:) unbelievable wasn't expecting much from this, but it's unbelievable helpful having a 2 pixel wide bar at the top of the screen telling you the battery level. absolutely love it!
IJP September 26, 2014
:) Functional Config menu is a hassle sometimes, but otherwise this works as you'd expect. edit: emailed you
IJP March 28, 2015
A new UI is coming soon, let me know which part of the menu you would like to see improved? Love it New version crashes whenever I plug my Nexus 5 in to charge. Previous version: Very simple, great way to see your battery status whenever you look at your phone. I like the ability to change the colour of the line as the battery decreases.
IJP January 28, 2014
What's New
#1 Quick fixes!
#2 Removed the limit of 6 segments.
#1 Now the Bar runs only when the screen is on. If power is plugged in when screen is off, the current Battery Level is saved to reflect in the animation when the screen is turned on again.
#2 The texts are readable even on white background, a think dark border is put around the 'Live Preview'.
#3 Color of a segment can be changed by clicking on its - 'Live Preview', or lower %, or higher %, or seekbar.

Heads-up Notifications
With Heads-up, any device can get the heads-up notifications introduced in the Android 5.0 "Lollipop", no root required. But according to Addictivetips, this app is much more than just a backport. And according to the users, this app is way better than the original!
Heads-up displays the latest notification as a floating popup, complete with full text and quick actions (4.1+).
Works on everything running Android 3.1 and newer.
You're in control: Heads-up has five pages of customization, so you'll get notified your way.
Pocket detection – when you get a message, Heads-up turns the screen on if you take your phone out of the pocket! (Kinda like AcDisplay. Note: this causes a tiny increase in battery usage if you get a ton of notifications)
Privacy on the lock screen (and in general - Heads-up doesn't even have internet permission, so it can't send your private data anywhere)
Oh, and it's known to work on some smartwatches.
Heads-up notifications is available in over 20 languages, thanks to an awesome team of translators.
If you want to help translate, head to https://crowdin.com/project/heads-up
If no popups appear, please make sure that Heads-up shows up in the list of running services. If it doesn't, make sure you have enabled the service, and then reboot the phone.
If your device is running Android 4.2 or earlier, and you have other accessibility services running (such as Pushbullet), they might block Heads-up from receiving your notifications. Please try to disable them if Heads-up doesn't work.
Huawei, XIAOMI and MIUI users: please allow Heads-up to display popups under Settings > Apps > Downloaded > Heads-up. It might also be necessary to reset the app data/settings.
Uninstalling: If you find that the uninstall button is disabled, go to System Settings > Security > Device administrators > Heads-up, and tap Disable.
Other: Facebook Messenger, AcDisplay and PushBullet notification mirroring can conflict with Heads-up. And no, it doesn't display more than the latest notification (after all, this is meant for instant notifications when using the device, not as a lock screen).
Heads-up is open-source!
If you want a feature, theme or something else, head to:
If you experience any issues or have feature requests, please open an issue at:
If the app crashes, please tap 'Report', then 'Send'. This makes it far easier to fix the issue.

Knock Me!
When was the last time you lost your phone in your room and you kept calling it just to realize that you had put it on deep silent mode or when was the last time you were so busy that you checked your silent phone after a long time to see a stack of missed call notifications? Well worry no more, I have got a cool little App for you. So the idea is that, let's assume one of your friend has been calling you, your phone is silent and it's really urgent for him/her to contact you. So what he/she can do is send a knock word via SMS, the word could be - "urgent". Once the SMS is received by you, the next time when he/she calls you, your phone will ring ONLY for his/her number irrespective of your phone's sound setting.
Instruction for the current preview version: The knock word has to be sent without any spaces in the beginning or end, I noticed that some phone keyboards add spaces at the end of the word when you hit the auto-suggested word. This will be taken care of automatically in next update. :)
As of now, the features of the App are:
✓ You can set 'knock words' for either all of your contacts, or starred contacts only, or for selected contacts.
✓ You can change the active time of a knock word, that is, once a Knock word is received via SMS, the time for which the App will allow the number to ring your phone could be set by user.
✓ You can set different keyword for different contacts.
Additional feature in future version:
✓ When a call is received from a person multiple times, the phone will automatically send an SMS stating that the user's phone is now in silent/vibrate mode and if it's urgent he/she may send an SMS "urgent" and then call to ring.
✓ Checking for pattern of words in SMS.
✓ Configure the sound volume to ring at.
✓ History of contacts who used knock words
✓ History of contacts who have been trying to reach you a lot of times but didn't use Knock words (most likely that they don't know about it.)
✓ You may expect integration with WhatsApp and other services' messages as an option.

Statistics Bill 2013: 'Unofficial' data could land you behind bars
Dodoma/Dar es Salaam.
Tanzania could become one of the most hostile territories for publishing firms, researchers and academicians after Parliament passed a new law yesterday limiting the publication of data to only those from the government's own Bureau of Statistics.
By acclamation, Parliament passed the Statistics Bill 2013, which slaps a stiff penalty on anyone who publishes data or statistics outside the publications of the Tanzania National Bureau of Statistics.
The bill was approved despite spirited resistance from some opposition MPs, led by Ubungo MP John Mnyika (Chadema).
Ironically, the bill that was moved by Finance Minister Saada Mkuya Salum was withdrawn in February after a cross-section of MPs and parties outside the national assembly questioned the same provision that grants the National Bureau of Statistics exclusive rights to publish data and statistics.
Attorney General George Masaju led the government's defence as the front bench joined forces to defeat objections by the opposition, which accused the ruling party's MPs of passing the "offensive" bill without considering the consequences.
Yesterday's move was immediately criticised by media activists and governance and human rights organisations that view the bill as a major setback in the government's own push for the Open Government Initiative championed by President Jakaya Kikwete. They appealed to Mr Kikwete not to sign the bill into law if he was serious and committed to the Open Government Initiative, which has won him international acclaim.
The Media Council of Tanzania Executive Secretary, Mr Kajubi Mukajanga, pointed out that stakeholders had in February criticised the Bill heavily, particularly the section that touches on publication of unauthorised statistics. "It is amazing that they would retain such a provision now," he said. Mr Mukajanga has vowed to comment more after he reviews the bill.
Mr Onesmo Olengurumwa, one of the co-ordinators of the Tanzania Human Rights Defender Coalition, said the passing of the bill will have a significant effect on private institutions in academia because making NBS the only institution allowed to approve statistics would curtail research and freedom to challenge NBS data. "It is retrogressive in the current world for the government to pass such a law," he said. "What we see is a move to force on the people what the government wants them to believe."
Dr Hellen-Kijo Bisimba, the executive director of the Legal and Human Rights Centre, said she was shocked that the parliamentarians should be so lacking in wisdom and grace.
Said Dr Bisimba: "This is a desperate and calculated move by a draconian government keen on stamping out dissent and alternative views. They are doing it with an ulterior motive as the country heads to a General Election. We will not stop making noise until the bad law is removed if the President assents to it. It defeats logic that while we are struggling to remove numerous bad laws from our statutes, this government is adding more."
Mr Alex Ruchyahinduru, Communication and Advocacy Manager at Policy Forum, expressed the same sentiments and added that the law would affect the way research and academic institutions do their work. "These institutions will lack the space and freedom to exercise their duties, some of them critical to national development," he said.
In Dodoma, some MPs saw yesterday's move as a sign that the government intends to approve two other controversial bills on Media Services and Access to Information that are to be tabled as a matter of urgency.
The government has held on to the two bills in what some players say is an orchestrated scheme to use CCM's majority in Parliament to hurriedly approve the bills along with other provisions that will stifle press freedom and curtail the right to information.
If Mr Kikwete endorses the Statistics Bill, media practitioners and publishing houses--even research institutions--would be required to only report official figures from NBS. It also lists offences and punishment, including imprisonment for those who do not comply.

Rwandan musician sentenced to 10 years for anti-govt plot
Kigali, Saturday.
A Rwandan court on Friday sentenced popular musician Kizito Mihigo to 10 years in prison for conspiracy against the government of strongman President Paul Kagame.
Mihigo was also found guilty of "forming a criminal group" and "conspiracy to commit murder", but judge Claire Bukuba threw out charges of complicity in a terrorist act.
Mihigo, 35, who pleaded guilty to the charges, is a survivor of the 1994 genocide in Rwanda.
Prosecutors said he was "in charge of mobilising the youth" for the Rwanda National Congress (RNC), an opposition party in exile, as well as the FDLR, Rwandan Hutu rebels who include the perpetrators of the genocide in their ranks and who are based in the forests of neighbouring Democratic Republic of Congo.
Mihigo's lawyers, who said prosecutors had little hard evidence, had pressured him to plead not guilty.
He was tried alongside journalist Cassien Ntamuhanga, demobilised soldier Jean Paul Dukuzumuremyi and Agnes Niyibizi, who was accused but found innocent of having been an RNC treasurer.
Ntamuhanga was sentenced to 25 years in jail, Dukuzumuremyi was sentenced to 30 years. Both have denied all charges. Niyibizi was acquitted on all charges.
Police said the men planned attacks in revenge for the assassination of a former spy chief and fierce critic of Kagame, Patrick Karegeya, who lived in exile in South Africa and who was found strangled to death in a Johannesburg luxury hotel on New Year's Day.
The arrest of the four in April, came as Rwanda held commemorations to mark the 20th anniversary of the genocide, the murder of 800,000 people, most of them ethnic Tutsis, at the hands of Hutu extremists.
But it also came amid mounting criticism of Kagame and accusations his government is cracking down on those who speak out.

UK court jails Simon Harris for 17 years for abusing Kenyan street boys
A Briton has been jailed for 17 years after he was found guilty of sexually abusing Kenyan street children after luring them into his house in Gilgil, Nakuru County.
Simon Harris was found guilty of eight counts indecent and sexual assault by Birmingham Crown Court in the United Kingdom.
He was found guilty if molesting the boys between 1996 and 2013 when he was the head of VAE charity organisation, which placed volunteers in Kenyan schools.
According to BBC, Harris was also convicted for four counts of possessing indecent images of children.
In his judgment, Judge Phillip Parker described Harris as "a significant risk" to young boys and his Kenyan victims had been left "used, degraded, and humiliated".
"The mental scars will almost certainly never heal," Judge Parker said.
BBC stated that the case is one of the first of its kind using legislation that allows British citizens to be tried for sex offences committed abroad if it is also an offence in that country.

Does anyone know if a 1999 Cannondale Headshok Super Fatty SL pulled from a 1999 Super V will fit on a 1993 M800 "Beast of the East" ?
The Beast originally had a rigid, Pepperoni fork but is now running an Answer Manitou 3. I'd put the Pepperoni fork back on but I'm the second owner of the bike and never had the original fork. The Super Fatty SL looks like a nice "OEM-looking" upgrade to the bike.
Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

The Knicks suffered their worst loss of the season on Sunday, losing by 41 points to a Celtics team that shouldn't beat anybody by that much.
And they did so wearing their alternate orange uniforms.
Whether the 12 noon tip time or the orange color scheme is messing with the Knicks on these weekend games we'll never know for sure.
But if New York believes the alternate uniforms are somehow bad luck, they are free to not wear them for the rest of the season after meeting the league's minimum requirement.
From Marc Berman of the New York Post:
If he wishes, the eccentric Dolan can forever shelve those new alternate orange jerseys after the Knicks fell to 0-6 in the uniforms with Sunday's 114-73 disgrace to Boston at the Garden.
According to an NBA official, the Knicks have now fulfilled the minimum requirement for the number of times they have to wear the brand new, all-orange jerseys that appear as haunted as Halloween.
The NBA official told The Post the Knicks can wear the uniforms a maximum of 18 times this season and no fewer than six times under league rules.
It would be almost comical for the Knicks to blame these losses on a jersey color and indeed ditch the uniforms for the remainder of the schedule; it feels like the early start time would be more of a real factor in affecting the team's performance.
But if the club decides there's something amiss with the uniforms, they're not bound by the league to wear them even one more time this season.
- phillysports1 - Dec 9, 2013 at 9:39 AM
So they wanna blame a 41 point loss on the uniforms ??? NY teams have an excuse for everything smfh
- pbtunpaidwriter - Dec 9, 2013 at 3:31 PM
I'd be surprised if they wear them again.
They'll look to change any small thing to change their luck…except ball movement (besides those 2 games).
- ocgunslinger - Dec 9, 2013 at 9:55 AM
That's obviously the problem in NY and it's in plain sight.
- davidly - Dec 9, 2013 at 10:22 AM
Please. Amidst an otherwise dreadful season, this uniform is a lone bright spot.
- davidly - Dec 9, 2013 at 10:30 AM
One might even say the highlight of an up-to-now dismal drama for the team.
- elcapitanfiscal - Dec 9, 2013 at 4:31 PM
Yep. The only thing that stands out about this team
- elcapitanfiscal - Dec 9, 2013 at 11:05 AM
The uniforms are the the only things that showed up to that Celtics blowout
- csbanter - Dec 9, 2013 at 11:09 AM
No one outside the Knicks organization expected them to compete for an NBA championship, so why is everyone surprised at their record. The Knicks have become the Atlanta Hawks before Danny Ferry.
- asimonetti88 - Dec 9, 2013 at 11:37 AM
Blaming a loss on start time is as silly as blaming it on the jersey color. The Celtics also had to start at 12 PM, they did just fine. The Knicks lost because they got outplayed.
- cruzan80 - Dec 9, 2013 at 11:56 AM
The uniform thing is obviously stupid but why do they play so many noon games???
- 00maltliquor - Dec 9, 2013 at 12:31 PM
I actually like those jerseys.
- yankees218 - Dec 9, 2013 at 12:45 PM
Can anyone please show me where in this article anyone from the Knicks organization says they blame these uniforms for all their losses?? Please…
- davidly - Dec 9, 2013 at 1:11 PM
I hear you, man. But just in case you're new to how journalism works, I'm'onn' help ya out:
Somebody journalist or another uses a kind of language…
But if New York believes the alternate uniforms are somehow bad luck…
…that can be interpreted as either wholesale speculation, or seen to contain an implied basis in reality.
The rest run with it, and before you know it, most of the people you ask who heard anything about it will swear they were there when it happened.
- peterjohnjoseph - Dec 9, 2013 at 2:50 PM
The Nuggets weren't wearing Orange uniforms and they got blown out in the first quarter by the Celtics in a game two days prior. Celtics are the first team since 63′ to outscore opponents by that high a margin in the first quarter over a two game span.
- jcmeyer10 - Dec 9, 2013 at 4:06 PM
Was at that game and if I didn't know any better, I would think they are a complete team.
- sdelmonte - Dec 9, 2013 at 3:52 PM
The uniforms are seeking permission to ditch the Knicks.
- 00maltliquor - Dec 10, 2013 at 3:02 AM
Flawless! LOL^
- mytthor - Dec 10, 2013 at 10:23 PM

Nukapedian of the YearEdit
Congratulations! You are a qualified nominee for NotY 2014 and will be moving on to stage II. Please see this blog here for instructions on writing a little introduction for yourself in preparation for the polling stage. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask me on my talk page. --Skire (talk) (via the courier) 23:21, December 10, 2014 (UTC)
- Hello! In order to ensure that the competition finishes in a timely manner (the winner is to be announced on New Years Day), it is important that the personal introductions are posted here as soon as possible. Accordingly, I must set a deadline, which will be by the end of the day on Monday, December 15. If you are unable to make the deadline, do not worry! You can still compete in the next stage. --Skire (talk) 23:15, December 12, 2014 (UTC)
Merry Christmas and a happy new yearEdit
I would like to use the Christmas-wishes-tradition to thank those around me who kept this wiki and daily life more fun for me during the past year. Everything just seems so normal and evident that we are here almost every day, yet it's very worthwhile to consider for a moment how wonderful it is to have all of you around me, making editing and being on chat a lot more enjoyable. I would also like to use this opportunity to wish a happy and healthy new year for you and everyone around you, with perseverance in tough times, but most of all, with wonderful moments among enjoyable friends and family. Merry Christmas, and a very happy new year in which all your wishes may come true! - Greets Peace'n Hugs (talk) (blog) 17:51, December 25, 2014 (UTC)

Removing content from talkpagesEdit
For your consideration, before you revert talkpage removals, check what they remove. The only thing that was removed was the welcome message, which is no problem for me anyway (as it is "forced" by us) and that one message from me was 3,5 years ago and sort of a friendly reminder. I would have allowed the removal (don't think it was really bad faith). Also, it may be a person who wants to give it another go and start editing. Then to immediately be backpegged is a bad welcome from our side and a turn off. Jspoel 16:48, January 3, 2015 (UTC)
RE- Moving My Page Edit
Thanks, it's not a problem at all! Nothing to apologise for. Just looking for answers is all. Not exactly Wiki-knowledgeable. --Adventus Evander (talk) 00:01, January 6, 2015 (UTC)
Weapons and stuff Edit
OK, so I looked at a bunch of weapons pages to see how we have dealt with this stuff in the past. Here's the problem: we've dealt with it inconsistently. In a nutshell, I see weapons fall into hierarchical categories based on design. To wit: Handguns are either revolvers, semi-automatic pistols (often called autopistols) or machine pistols. Long guns have much broader categories. Please see the list I've started on User:The Gunny/sandbox. Take for example the FAL. It's nomenclature hierarchy goes: Firearm > Long gun > Rifle > Battle rifle > FAL series rifles > FAL. When you look at some weapons, we have pages for their weapon type, e.g., Battle rifle, and some have pages for their series type, e.g., SIG-Sauer pistol. We are wholly inconsistent here. Content amount notwithstanding, I think we should standardize these kinds of pages. If we have a page for battle rifles, and assault rifles, we should have a page for autopistols, lever-action rifles, semi-auto shotguns and revolvers, too. Also, if we have pages that group a bunch of related weapons together like the Sig Sauer page, or worse, the 10mm pistol page, which has the Chinese pistol on it, then we should see if we have enough content to add any other series of related weapons pages.
Take a look at what's in my sandbox, and let me know your thoughts. The Weapons page is in dire need of help anyways, so we can make a little bit of a project out of improving it, it's related weapons type pages, and any weapons series pages we have/need. The Gunny 00:37, January 11, 2015 (UTC)
Gauss Rifle FootnoteEdit
It's not a reference, it's a footnote. The footnote was used because I didnt want to clutter the characteristics section with such a detailed explanation when it could be referenced as a footnote for those readers to peruse who actually care to know the little details. The very point was to make it optional reading. Using a footnote seemed a workable way to accomplish this. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Malebiped (talk • contribs). Please sign your posts with ~~~~!
Alright, well, I didn't intend for that bit of information to be in the Characteristics section because it borders on off-topic. Its purpose is just to clarify a very technical point for those interested in such. It should be optional (in some kind of end note or similar) or not there at all. Since I don't know how to make an end note in a way that you approve of, we should just remove that bit altogether... or you could tell me how it's supposed to be done. --Malebiped (talk) 22:16, January 21, 2015 (UTC)
Charon's Combat Lever Edit
Hey Pally, just to let you know that Charon's combat shotgun's a lever action, therefore the reloading and jamming sounds should also be lever. (sarcastic humour) --吉野Cassie Talk to me! ✿ 03:45, January 28, 2015 (UTC)
Bobblehead MedicineEdit
I restored Soukey's edit on the Medicine bobblehead. That was a good note and an interesting one. When you check the GECK for it, it's the only bobblehead (out of 20) with 3 versions. This is a editor with prospect and it's best to keep those motivated. Jspoel 16:05, February 12, 2015 (UTC)
- I don't know. We can't use it always but I feel here we can make an exception somehow for this special item. The liked the explanation about once you pick it, the others are hidden by the script. It is written by a modder, I think we may have a good editor here with tech knowhow. Jspoel 23:45, February 12, 2015 (UTC)

Are you even reading my edit notes? Edit
I've stated my intentions for editing the .45 pistol page in its talk page as well as in the edit notes, but seeing as how you seem to have disregarded both of those sources, I have decided to message you directly. As I've already stated on the talk page, the information the wiki currently has on John Browning is irrelevant to Fallout. Therefore, either relevant information should be added, or the point about John Browning should be removed.

Gloster E.28/39
Gloster E.28/39 | |
The first E.28/39 prototype W4041/G | |
Role | Experimental prototype |
Manufacturer | Gloster Aircraft Company |
Designer | George Carter |
First flight | 15 May 1941 |
Primary user | Royal Aircraft Establishment |
Number built | 2 prototypes |
The Gloster E.28/39, (also referred to as the "Gloster Whittle", "Gloster Pioneer", or "Gloster G.40") was the first British jet-engined aircraft to fly. It was designed to test the Whittle jet engine in flight, leading to the development of the Gloster Meteor.
Design and development[edit]
In September 1939, the Air Ministry issued a specification to Gloster for an aircraft to test one of Frank Whittle's turbojet designs in flight. The E.28/39 name comes from the aircraft having been built to the 28th "Experimental" specification issued by the Air Ministry in 1939. The E.28/39 specification required the aircraft to carry two .303 Browning machine guns in each wing, which were never fitted.
Gloster's chief designer, George Carter, worked closely with Whittle, and laid out a small low-wing aircraft of conventional configuration. The jet intake was in the nose, and the single tail-fin and elevators were mounted above the jet-pipe, although due to uncertainty about the spinning characteristics of a jet aircraft, at in an earlier design stage twin fins and rudders were considered. Two jet pipe/rear fuselage arrangements were also originally considered due to the potential loss of thrust through the jet pipe itself, a 'short jet' with a cutaway rear fuselage and short exhaust, and a 'long jet' with a fully enclosed jet pipe, however the 'long jet' was subsequently selected. A contract for two prototypes was signed by the Air Ministry on 3 February 1940, and the first of these was completed by April 1941. Manufacturing started at Brockworth near Gloucester, but was later moved to Regent Motors in Cheltenham High St (now the Regent Arcade) which was considered a location safer from bombing.
Although the initial flight tests were relatively early in the Second World War, the German Heinkel He 178 had been first test-flown on 27 August 1939, at Rostock-Marienehe on the Baltic Coast, days before the outbreak of the war.
The E.28/39 was delivered to Brockworth for ground tests beginning on 7 April 1941, using a non-flightworthy version of the Power Jets W.1 engine. These included some short "hops" of about 6 ft in height from the grass airfield. With these initial tests satisfactorily completed, the aircraft was fitted with a flightworthy engine rated for 10 hours use, and then transferred to Cranwell which had a long runway. On 15 May 1941, Gloster's Chief Test Pilot, Flight Lieutenant Gerry Sayer flew the aircraft under jet power for the first time from RAF Cranwell, near Sleaford in Lincolnshire, in a flight lasting 17 minutes. In this first series of test flights, a maximum true speed of 350 m.p.h. was attained, in level flight at 25,000 ft. and 17,000 r.p.m. turbine revolutions.[1]
Over the following months, tests continued with increasingly refined versions of the engine. Later in the test program small, auxiliary fins were added near the tips of the tailplanes to provide additional stability in high-speed flight.[2] John Grierson, in 1971, called these "end-plates", and wrote that their purpose was to increase the fin area due to the problem of rudder blanking in a side-slip.[3]
On 21 October 1942, Sayer disappeared during an acceptance test flight in a Hawker Typhoon, presumed killed, and his assistant took over testing of the E.28/39. The oil system had been changed before he flew; after it was proven, the aircraft was handed over to the RAE for testing by service pilots.
The second prototype E.28/39 (W4046) - initially powered by a Rover W2B engine - joined the test programme on 1 March 1943. Testing had revealed problems with engine oil and lubricants. Flying of W4046 was by Gloster pilots John Grierson and John Crosby Warren, because Michael Daunt was then involved with the F.9/40 (the Meteor). In April 1943, W4046 flew to Hatfield for a demonstration in front of the Prime Minister and members of the Air Staff. It was taken to Farnborough and fitted with a 1,500 lbf (6.7 kN) W2.B. It achieved 466 mph. On 30 July 1943, while on a high-altitude test flight, the second prototype was destroyed in a crash resulting from an aileron failure. The accident was attributed to the use of the wrong type of grease in the aileron controls; one aileron had "stuck in position, sending the aircraft out of control".[2] The test pilot, Squadron Leader Douglas Davie, successfully bailed out from 33,000 ft, suffering frostbite on the way down.[4]
The first prototype was fitted with the 1,700 lbf (7.6 kN) thrust W2/500. It was flown successfully to 42,000 ft, but level speed at altitude was not attempted due to fuel shortage. The pilot commented in his report on a need for cockpit heating and a larger fuel tank.[4] It continued flight tests until 1944. By that time, more advanced turbojet-powered aircraft were available. The Gloster E.28/39 was not able to achieve high speeds, but it proved to be a capable experimental platform and exhibited a "good climb rate and ceiling".[2] Experience with the E.28/39 paved the way for Britain's first operational jet fighter aircraft, the Gloster Meteor. The Meteor used the Rolls-Royce Welland engine, the next stage from the Power Jets W.1.
Of the E.28/39 Grierson wrote: "The very favourable impressions of jet propulsion obtained ... have all been endorsed by subsequent flights ... The E.28 is a most pleasant little aeroplane to handle, particularly on account of the excellent field of vision from the pilot's seat ... "[5]
In 1946, the first prototype (W4041) was placed in the Science Museum in Central London, where it is exhibited today in the Flight Gallery. A full-size replica has been placed on an obelisk on a roundabout near the northern perimeter of Farnborough Airfield in Hampshire, as a memorial to Sir Frank Whittle. A similar full-size model is on display in the middle of a roundabout at Lutterworth in Leicestershire (pictured below), where the aircraft's engine was produced.
A full-scale model taken from the same moulds, with authentic paint scheme and detailing, has been built by members of the Jet Age Museum in Gloucestershire. It has recently been on display in Brockworth, Gloucester, Kemble (at both the Kemble Air Day and the MVT Show), and formed part of the display for the Sir Frank Whittle Centenary commemorations at RAF Cranwell in June 2007.

ESPN announces its Sunday Night Baseball matchups for the first half
Jan 15, 2014, 11:32 AM EDT
ESPN has sent out a press release revealing its "Sunday Night Baseball" matchups through July 20. Insert your "____ coast bias!" comments below:
Just eyeballing it, the biggest oversights I see are no games involving either the Washington Nationals — who should be a strong contender and who have exciting young players like Bryce Harper and Stephen Strasburg – and no Texas Rangers or Oakland A's, who should be the top two contenders in a loaded AL West. But what do I know?
- contraryguy - Jan 15, 2014 at 11:44 AM
Reds vs Cards, Memorial Day weekend. Should be good.
As for coastal bias, doesn't look like they took full advantage of warm weather locales to do April night games in, at least after the first two.
- Old Gator - Jan 15, 2014 at 11:48 AM
No Feesh. I guess the programmers at ESPN really want to make some advertising money on these broadcasts.
- teamobijuan - Jan 15, 2014 at 11:54 AM
Another reminder that you can't watch any baseball for free.

As a Yankee Sunday Ticket Plan holder, I'm annoyed that I won't have day time baseball until May. Ugh.

As a Yankees Sunday ticker plan holder you should be more annoyed by their lineup… or lack thereof
- Old Gator - Jan 15, 2014 at 12:35 PM
As a Borg ticket play holder, you should be even more annoyed at the insane price you have to pay for a ticket. Me, I'll take the same money and go out for a Kobe steak with a white truffle mousse and a side of Beluga caviar.

How come Taco Bell didn't get the opener? Didn't they pony up enough cash?
Yeah, it's annoying, but such is the nature of business in our times. I'm still waiting for advertising on uniforms, as they do in soccer and auto racing.
- historiophiliac - Jan 15, 2014 at 12:32 PM
- natstowngreg - Jan 15, 2014 at 12:51 PM
It's encouraging that Bud & Co. haven't floated the idea of advertising on uniforms. But we must be eternally vigilant. Lest MLB become like soccer, where you can't tell a team by its uniform, unless you know its corporate sponsor.

I was reviewing PGA v Martin with a class once and some of my students argued that all golfers should use carts in tournaments and have sponsors plastered on them. I thought: Oh, yeah, Augusta National will *love* that….ironically.
I don't mind a little Taco Hell, I just hate all the advertising.
- bankboy2012 - Jan 15, 2014 at 1:54 PM
Taco Bell got a good deal on the Red Sox/Yankees game. In both cases that crap runs on forever.
- mississippimusicman - Jan 15, 2014 at 2:03 PM
Taco Bell is never anyone's first choice… unless they are taking advantage of the fine products now sold legally in the state of Colorado.
As an aside, I wonder what effect the new law will have on Rockies home games?
- Joe Vecchio - Jan 16, 2014 at 10:59 PM
Well at least we haven't yet gone the way of Japan and have teams named after their companies rather than their locations. We may call them the Tokyo Giants, for example, but they're really the Yomiuri Giants, owned by the newspaper chain.

Carl's Jr used to have criss-cut fries which made them special.
Carl's Jr also stars in the early chapters of Fast Food Nation, which is, probably, the best guide to ridding yourself of fast food addictions. The movie is good, too, but to learn about the sway these cheap food stores maintain over our nation is quite eye opening.
- natstowngreg - Jan 15, 2014 at 3:09 PM
Thanks to all for the input. Comparing it to Hardee's tells me all I need to know. That is, next time I'm out west, don't bother.
We used to have a lot of Hardee's places in the DC area, but most (if not all) became something else. Same for Red Barn and Roy Rogers. They're not exactly missed, especially with McDonald's, Wendy's and Arby's places available.

Carl's Jr is much better than McDonald's, Wendy's and especially Arby's. That is, if you're so inclined to eat greasy unhealthy fast food.
- natstowngreg - Jan 15, 2014 at 12:38 PM
Same thing happened to the Nats last year. Even after a 94-win season, they weren't on the preliminary schedule. They were hardly on the full schedule. Makes no sense. The only possible reason could be, the Nats asked not to be scheduled. That makes no sense as well.
The Rangers and A's being left off make no sense. Neither do the Rays, Braves and Clevelands (note what I did there). Good that the Orioles and Pirates made it.
Of course, the schedule is incomplete, but I don't have the greatest confidence in ESPN's game selections. Except to schedule Yankees/Red Sox games into every available slot.
- greginohio - Jan 15, 2014 at 1:58 PM
I couldn't agree more. I for one am tired of every single Yankee-Red Sox game being shown on EXPN and MLB Network. There are 30 other teams in MLB, how bout we see some of these?

It figure's there would be no Atlanta Brave's on the ESPN schedule for the first half, I wonder why?
- philliesblow - Jan 15, 2014 at 2:27 PM
No Clevelands either. ESPN must have ethnically insensitive mascot bias.

I am an atlanta fan, but i am glad there are no atlanta games listed so far. I live on the edge of the broadcast are. Shared with the florida teams, i believe, and if a braves game comes on espn then my home broadcast is blanked out. When i tune to espn they show me the alternate game. It is very frustrating. Calls to my tv provider have no effect and i even changed services and that had no effect either. Going back to the schedule, i do like the game choices. The beginning is heavily nl west and as those are rival competing teams filled with star players it is going to make for great games. The al teams toward the middle are solid as well. We get to see the yankees and at this point who knows what they are doing with the money they just made on the arod deal. Pittsburgh and baltimore are on the schedule as well as boston. That is a solid first half schedule. Are there other teams i wanted to see? Yes, but there are teams there i have only seen a few times in the last few years so i am loving that and that is only the first half.

As an A's fan I'm pretty upset that they're never on ESPN. They got on once last year on the road against Pittsburgh but it's crazy that ESPN doesn't think to put a couple A's vs Rangers games on Sunday, Monday or even a Wednesday night. Whatever..guess we're used to this by now though.
- raysfan1 - Jan 15, 2014 at 2:19 PM
Yankees, Red Sox 3x each. Orioles 2x. Angels and Tigers once each. That's your AL line-up. That's three teams that did not make the playoffs, two are on the schedule more than once. Meanwhile, the As, Rays, and Indians all got zilch.
Craptacular, ESPN.
- historiophiliac - Jan 15, 2014 at 2:24 PM
Hence I had to add in the anti-non-coastal and anti-southern bias. It got complicated!

They're in the money-making business.
Go complain to Adam Smith.
- raysfan1 - Jan 15, 2014 at 2:40 PM
Nope. Free market economics is great, and Adam Smith was a smart guy. ESPN, on the other hand, stinks. Instead of complaining to a dead economic theorist, I have simply voiced my displeasure and will view the teams and games I am interested in via non-ESPN controlled media, not that they care.

Its nice to see the Pirates FINALLY on Sunday Night Baseball!

I can't wait to find out who is sponsoring the May 4th game.

I know what ad will be shown during pitching changes and between innings…
- coninernineruno - Jan 15, 2014 at 3:26 PM
5 games featuring the Yankees, Red Sox or Orioles. West Coast (of the Atlantic Ocean) Bias!

Total ignoramus here. But when ESPN shows a Yankees game on an ESPN national broadcast, what happens to the Yankees' own broadcast of that game on their own network?
- kirkmack - Jan 15, 2014 at 4:58 PM
It is a self fulfilling prophecy. ESPN says that the BoSox, Yankees, and Cards are the most popular teams, so that is all they program, so then they can turn around and say, "Hey, look, all people want to see are these teams- look at our numbers!" when, really, there is no other option…
- crackersnap - Jan 15, 2014 at 5:54 PM
Well, in their defense, when they do put on other teams the ratings are not as high.
But I always wonder why ESPN sees that as some kind of problem? As a publicly-held business, isn't it their fiduciary duty to grow their market? Shouldn't they be trying to promote the other regional teams more often in order to grow awareness of other players and other story lines? Shouldn't that be seen as a growth opportunity? For example, the things going on in with the rebuilding of the Royals, the Astros, and the White Sox are fascinating. It's possible that in a few years we will have a serious contender from these teams but few fans outside their local markets will appreciate how that came to be.
What ESPN does is cherry pick. It's lazy. And it's no wonder that a national audience shows little interest in a World Series when the teams involved are unfamiliar.
- dwishinsky - Jan 15, 2014 at 6:20 PM
Is there a reason there are no games in June?
- randygnyc - Jan 15, 2014 at 11:02 PM
I hate the east coast bias, and am opposed to having ESPN air ANY Yankee's games, ever. This Yankee fan prefers to watch the games on my home station of YES. I find it extremely off-putting to be forced to watch these games on what I consider, an inferior station.
Other than that, I don't care. MLB.TV has solved all my viewing conflicts. If I want to see Kershaw pitch, I tune in. If I want to see Pujols hobble around, no problem. I get to watch any and every game of my choosing. You should too.

Where's the Braves maybe the second half

Despatches from Peking were so meagre last week as to suggest that the armed forces now occupying that city (TIME, May 3) were exercising a ruthless censorship. The consensus of reports was that Dr. W. W. Yen had been set up at Peking as "Chief Executive"* of China," with Dr. Wellington Koo as his Premier and Foreign Minister. He was allegedly supported by the victorious armies of General Chang Hsueh-liang, field commander for his father, the great Super-Tuchun of Manchuria, Chang Tso-lin.
Yen. Dr. Yen is remembered as...
