Learn how to make the most of your lawn and garden spaces with these tips for using groundcover plants in your landscaping design.
More in Outdoors
Groundcover plants are useful for filling awkward spaces that might otherwise be left as bare soil or covered over with hard landscaping. Choose groundcover for its foliage, flowers, or scent to make the most of every available surface. You must also be careful to select plants that will thrive in your conditions — for example, some plants, such as Genista or Nepeta, will thrive in hot, dry sites, whereas hellebores, hostas, and Sarcococca prefer damp shade.
Many groundcover plants can be used to add interest and color to the spaces between patio slabs or steps where weeds may otherwise grow. Many of these plants are tough enough to withstand some light footfall, such as chamomile and thyme.
There can be many spaces in a garden where mowing is difficult or even impossible due to the angle of the terrain, such as a bank or steep slope. Groundcover plants are ideal for use in these spaces where good coverage but minimal maintenance is needed.
Many lawn grasses will struggle to grow successfully in the shady areas created by the foliage of trees. However, there are many attractive, shade-loving, groundcover plants such as ferns and ivies that will thrive in these locations.
Despite being classed as "groundcover," many plants can also be used to grow in other locations, such as the sedums on this stunning roof. They will grow successfully in less than favorable, dry, and exposed conditions where many other plants would fail.

Artwork details
Sir Sidney Nolan 1917–1992
Camel and Figure
Date 1966
Medium Oil paint on hardboard
Dimensions Support: 1210 x 1219 mm
Acquisition Presented by Lord McAlpine of West Green 1983
Not on display
Display caption
'Camel and Figure' is one of many paintings by Nolan inspired by the story of the explorers Burke and Wills. In 1860 Robert O'Hara Burke and William Wills set out from Melbourne, aiming to cross Australia from south to north. This involved traversing the vast inhospitable desert of inland Australia. The expedition was doomed from the start. Both were inexperienced, travelling at the wrong time of year, overloaded with wrong provisions, and with quarrelsome subordinates. Burke and Wills both perished. This painting depicts Burke with one of the 27 camels which formed the cavalcade. According to legend, stripping is the last act of a man dying in the desert. Burke's nakedness thus signals disaster.

Sri Lanka: Buddhist Monk Sets Himself on Fire to Protest Cattle Slaughter [GRAPHIC VIDEO]
- Order Reprints
- Text Size
By Drishya Nair | May 25, 2013 5:13 PM EST
A Buddhist monk set himself on fire to protest against the slaughter of cattle in Sri Lanka.
According to the Mail Online, the incident took place on Friday and happened near the Temple of Buddha's Tooth Relic, in the town of Kandy. A police spokesperson, Buddika Siriwardena, claimed the temple holds particular religious significance for Buddhists.
The monk suffered severe burn injuries and was rushed to the Colombo National Hospital, where he is under treatment. Buddhism, the state religion of Sri Lanka, preaches against the killing of any life form.
Friday was a public holiday in Sri Lanka, in honour of the festival of Wesak. This marks the Buddha's birthday, his enlightenment and death. The occasion is celebrated across all Buddhist countries but there are variations in the traditions and beliefs.
During the festival, meat and shops selling alcohol remain closed.
Meat eating is generally accepted among the Buddhist community in Sri Lanka but most avoid beef, as the cow is considered a sacred animal.
String of Self-Immolations
This event is the latest in a number of self-immolations by Buddhist monks.
In February, a Tibetan monk died after setting himself on fire in the Nepalese capital of Kathmandu. He was protesting China's occupation of Tibet. The 21-year-old reportedly died chanting anti-China slogans.
Two years ago, in October, two monks committed a similar act in southwest China, to protest against the country's government. The two were 18 and 20 years old and were taken to hospital and treated for burn injuries before being discharged, according to a report filed by the Xinhua News Agency.

Mark Cuban isn't just playing: he's a serious bidder for the Rangers
Jul 21, 2010, 2:12 PM EDT
There was a big, acrimonious hearing in Fort Worth yesterday regarding the timing and procedures of the auction to sell the Rangers. Something fun happened during the hearing: some lawyer showed up and as if he were Scott Boras or someone said that he represented an "undisclosed bidder." That bidder has turned out to be Mark Cuban.
We've recently talked about his interest in the team, but given how Cuban is with the media, there was some reason to suspect that he was just thinking out loud and wasn't all that serious. That's apparently not the case if he's hiring lawyers to make appearances in bankruptcy court in an effort to impact when and how the auction of the Rangers will be held.
Lawyers for Chuck Greenberg and Nolan Ryan did what what they could to discount Cuban's interest, dismissively saying he's been "discussed for weeks," and they're clearly trying to spread the word in the media that Major League Baseball may not approve of him, but they have to be nervous.
Nervous if Cuban makes overtures to them about joining their group because if he does — and if they realize that, crap, they need him — the camel's nose is under the tent and he's going to be an active part of the ownership group whether they like it or not. Nervous because if he gets involved — and if he decides to go it on his own or with another bidder — his cash reserves will certainly out-strip anything they can muster.
The proceedings in bankruptcy court have gotten so convoluted that even I and my fancy-schmancy law degree aren't able to really follow them anymore, but Mark Cuban represents a form of chaos, and chaos is the last thing Greenberg and Ryan need more of.

Nietzsche says order arises out of chaos, Howard.
Who wants to be the first to answer me in appropriate fashion? BC? APBA Guy? Craig? Mo (wherever you've gone)? Come on guys, you know how this one goes….
- Steve C - Jul 21, 2010 at 2:44 PM
With the farm system the Rangers have, the young talent already present, the pitching staff that came out of no where, and Mark Cuban's money this would be one very formidable team.
- BC - Jul 21, 2010 at 3:00 PM
Here's hoping Cuban gets the team. With King George gone we need someone to engage in chaos theory in MLB. Good chaos, I mean. Not the kind the Mets have.
With that, I'll throw Old Gator a bone:
"Chaos breaks across the lines that separate scientific disciplines. Because it is a science of the global nature of systems, it has brought together thinkers from fields that had been widely separated. Chaos poses problems that defy accepted ways of working in science. It makes strong claims about the universal behavior of complexity. The first chaos theorists, the scientists who set the discipline in motion, shared certain sensibilities. They had an eye for pattern, especially pattern that appeared on different scales at the same time. They had a taste for randomness and complexity, for jagged edges and sudden leaps. Believers in chaos–and they sometimes call themselves believers, or converts, or evangelists–speculate about determinism and free will, about evolution, about the nature of conscious intelligence. They feel that they are turning back a trend in science toward reductionism, the analysis of systems in terms of their constituent parts: quarks, chromosomes, or neurons. They believe that they are looking for the whole." — James Gleick
- IdahoMariner - Jul 21, 2010 at 3:06 PM
here you go. Gator:
Reverend Johnson: Order, order. Goddamnit, I said "order".
Howard Johnson: Y'know, Nietzsche says: "Out of chaos comes order."
Olson Johnson: Oh, blow it out your ass, Howard.

MLB: Twins, Hughes agree to three-year, $24 million deal: report
Twins hope former all-star can resurrect career at pitcher-friendly Target Field.
|Report an Error
Share via Email
MINNEAPOLIS—Phil Hughes probably needed to leave hitter-friendly Yankee Stadium, and the Minnesota Twins were desperate for proven arms to strengthen a woeful rotation. The two parties have come together, hoping to help each other out.
The Twins and Hughes agreed to a $24 million, three-year deal, a person with knowledge of the agreement told The Associated Press. The person requested anonymity because Hughes still has to pass a physical before the contract can become official. The Star Tribune of Minneapolis first reported the deal.
Hughes went 4-14 with a 5.19 ERA last season for the New York Yankees. He was 1-10 with a 6.32 ERA at Yankee Stadium though, so a move to pitcher-friendly Target Field could be exactly what the 27-year-old needs to jumpstart his career.
He was an all-star in 2010 when he went 18-8 with a 4.19 ERA and was shaping up as a building block for the Yankees' rotation. Hughes was a former first-round draft pick and a once-coveted young pitcher by many teams, including the Twins, who had discussions with the Yankees about Hughes headlining a package for ace Johan Santana after the 2007 season.
The Yankees eventually pulled out of the talks, in part because of how highly they thought of Hughes, and the Twins sent Santana to the Mets.
But Hughes developed shoulder problems in 2011 that limited him to 17 starts and has been underwhelming the past two seasons while also dealing with back problems. Hughes has made 61 starts in the past two years, and the Twins hope that getting him into spacious Target Field could help him stabilize one of the worst pitching staffs in the majors.
The Twins have lost at least 96 games in each of the last three seasons, mostly because of their starting pitching. Last year, their starters had an MLB-worst ERA of 5.26. Toronto was the next worst at 4.81. Only two of their starters had ERAs under 5.00, with Samuel Deduno's 3.83 leading the way and Kevin Correia next at 4.18.
Upgrading the rotation was by far the biggest priority for the team entering this winter, and the Twins have plunged into the task with uncharacteristic free-spending verve. They kicked things off by agreeing to terms with Los Angeles Dodgers right-hander Ricky Nolasco on a $49 million, four-year contract last week.
They have now committed $73 million on Hughes and Nolasco, the two biggest contracts the franchise has given to players outside the organization.
And the Twins may not be done. They have been in discussions to retain veteran Mike Pelfrey while looking at other free agents, including Bronson Arroyo and Matt Garza. It would, however, be somewhat surprising to see them add another high-priced starter after landing Nolasco and Hughes.
The club could also bring back veteran catcher A.J. Pierzynski, who started his career in Minnesota but was traded to make room for Joe Mauer. The Twins announced earlier this off-season that Mauer will be moved to first base, creating a need for a veteran behind the plate.

Yes I only just realised today that McDonald called his mate round - what a shitbag!
Thanks for that Max, I was aware of the various legal factors in general but not for this specific case.
I really don't get the attraction of having sex with someone who's pretty much unconscious
Didn't Ched's supporters post up the footage with a view to showing that she wasn't that out of it? That would seem a massive error of judgement if it's as clear as you say Max.
I didn't follow the trial, but just because the victim was getting on well with the other footballer earlier in the evening doesn't mean she had consented to sex, especially with Ched Evans in the room as well. I'm struggling to think what could have gone on to make the other footballer feel it was reasonable to assume consent had been given for that situation.

A tree-shearing head for use at the end of a boom attached to a logging vehicle has a shear with an associated tree retaining means which retains the butt of the sheared portion of the tree after cutting. A tree grasping means is spaced above the shearing means, and is pivotable with respect thereto, so that the tree can tilt during the shearing and while being grasped, thereby reducing binding of the shearing means.

3 Claims, 5 Drawing Figures PArtmgnrcazzlen 3.643.712 SHEET 21194 TREE-SHEARING HEAD This invention relates to logging and specifically to a shear head for felling trees and adapted for operation on a tree processor such as a feller-buncher.
There are various mechanisms used in tree felling, some of these mechanisms utilizing tall mast members for retaining the tree in one position while it is being severed or felled by a shear or saw at a lower level. After the tree has been severed, it is usually passed on to a subsequent logging operation.
There are numerous disadvantages, however, with the known types of shear heads and associated mast members, one such disadvantage being that as the shears are brought into a cutting position and are forced through the body of the tree, the weight of the tree binds downwardly onto the shear blades because the tree is held quite rigidly by the upper part of the mast. Further, some shearing members have an extremely high vertically oriented mast member and these tend to get fouled up in low branches of some species of trees.
The present invention provides improvements in shearing and felling heads for tree processors by including means between clamping and severing sections to allow a certain amount of upward movement of the tree trunk as the shears are driven into the body of the tree. This inhibits the binding on the blades mentioned previously. Additionally, the means for clamping the tree according to the present invention are so arranged hydraulically that they provide an automatic pressure lock in the hydraulic system to inhibit sideways movement of the tree after severing.
The invention will now be described by way of example with reference to the accompanying drawings in which:
FIG. 1 is a side elevation of a logging machine utilizing a tree felling shear head in accordance with the present invention;
FIG. 2 is an enlarged view of the shear head as shown in FIG. 1.
FIG. 3 is a plan view of the shear assembly; and
FIGS. 4 and 5 are plan views of the gripping arms with their hydraulic circuitry.
It will be appreciated that the shear head of the present invention can be utilized on various types of vehicles generally known as logging machines, for example, feller-skidders, feller-bunchers, roadside slashersand the like. For the purposes of this application, however, FIG. 1 shows the logging machine in the form of a feller-buncher 10. This vehicle is of the well-known type having forward and rearward frame members 12 and 14 respectively pivotally secured together by way of an articulated joint 16. The vehicle is motor powered and its tractive effort is concentrated through rubber tires 18. The vehicle includes a semienclosed cab 20 having the motor and fuel therefor in the rear compartment 22, thereby leaving the forward end of the vehicle available for logging work.
The shear head of the present invention is indicated generally at 24 and it is operatively mounted to the forward end of vehicle through a vertically oriented pivot 26 mounted on the forward frame 12 ofthe vehicle.
A boom 28 is pivotally mounted on the pivot 26 and includes first and second arm members 30 and 32 which are pivotally secured together at 34. The other end of first arm 30 is pivotally secured to a member 36 mounted on the pivot 26; the other end of second arm 32 being similarly secured to a mounting plate 38 on the shear head 24.
A parallelogram or similar operative control is directed to the shear head 24 from the pivot 26 by the drawing in or reaching out of arms 30 and 32 actuated by a plurality of hydraulic rams 40, 42, and 44. The yoke plate 46 serves to interconnect ends of the rams 40 and 42 and to serve as pivot points therefor with respect to the remote ends of these rams which are connected to the member 36 on the pivot 26 and to the upper end of arm 32. Movements angular from the vertical which may be taken by the head 24 with respect to the vehicle l0 and especially the arm 32, are effected by the cylinder 44 which is secured at one end to arm 32 by means of a yoke plate 47 and at the other end to the plate 38. Pivotal action of the head 24 through the action of cylinder 44 is shown by the arrow 48,
Referring to FIGS. 2 and 3, the shear head 24 includes a mast 50 of polygonal cross section for increased strength and rigidity. The lower end of the mast 50 is provided with a pair of parallel planar plates 52, 54 respectively, these plates serving to mount a pair of shear actuating hydraulic rams 56 and 58, respectively, such mounting being by pivot pins 60 to which one end of the rams are secured. The other end of each ram is pivotally secured to an associated shear blade 62 by means of pivotal connections 64, the blades 62 being pivotally mounted to the shear head on a common vertically positioned central roll pin 66. As will be evident from FIG. 3, actuation of the cylinders 56 and 58 pivot the shears 62 to a closed position around a tree disposed between the blades. It will also be noted that the blades 62 are provided with tree retaining collars 68 which extend above and below the horizontal position of the blade 62. These collars serve to secure the lower trunk of the tree after it has been severed and it prevents that portion of the tree from swinging outwardly away from the shear blades.
The upper end of the mast 50 supports a further set of spaced horizontally arranged plates 70 and 72 respectively which serve to support tree grasping means in the form of cooperating gripping arms 74 and 76. These arms are pivotally secured to the plates 70 and 72 at spaced locations by means of pivot pins 78. Hydraulic rams 80 are pivotally secured to the arms 74 and 76 at pivot points 82 and are secured at their other ends to the plates 70 and 72 by means of pivot pins 84. The tree grasping means indicated generally at is pivotally mounted to the upper end of the mast 50 by means of depending flange members 86 and a pivot pin 88.
For the purposes of stacking logs after severing, the mast 50 and the severing and grasping mechanisms may be pivoted outwardly with respect to the boom arm 32 by action of the cylinder 44.
In order for the head 24 to be properly placed on a tree trunk if the vehicle is on uneven ground, the mast 50 must pivot with respect to the plate 38 and boom 32. Thus, hydraulic cylinder 90 is pivotally secured at its lower end to the plate 52 of the shear head assembly and is connected at its upper end to the plate 38. Plate 38 in turn is pivotally connected to the mast 50 by means of a pivot pin 92. It will be appreciated therefore, that actuation of the hydraulic cylinder 90 will pivot the mast 50 and the associated shear mechanism and grasping mechanism about pin 92 with respect to the plate 38 and the boom 32.
In operation, the shear head assembly 24 is positioned with respect to a standing tree (using ram 90 is necessary) by the operator in the vehicle 10. The shear blades 62 and the tree grasping arms 74 and 76 are moved to their open positions by their respective hydraulic cylinders and then moved into operative position. Cylinders actuate the arms 74 and 76 so that they clamp the tree therebetween and actuation of cylinders 56 and 58 drive the blades 62 into the lower portion of the trunk of the tree to sever it from its stump. As the two blades enter the tree and begin to meet each other, there is a substantial wedging action taking place because the thickness of the blade is such that there is a tendency to move the tree upward against the holding action of the grasping arms 74 and 76, especially if these arms were rigidly spaced from the shear blades. This increased resistance to the shear blades through the wedging action thereof is compensated for, however, by the pivotal mounting of the tree grasping section 75 to the mast 50 through the swivel pin 88. As shown in FIG, 1, when the shear blades are brought together, instead of the wedging action that previously took place, the tree is actually moved upward slightly to pivot about the pin 88 as the grasping section absorbs the width or thickness of the shear blades. It will be noted that the tree 94 has pivoted about the pin 88 so that the upper portion of the trunk assumes the position approximately as shown by the broken line 96. It will be appreciated that as soon as severing takes place, the tree is actually held at two locations, the upper location by the arms 74 and 76 and also adjacent the shears 62 by means of the associated collar members 68. The boom assembly 28 is then rotated on the pivot 26 to the side of the vehicle or to the location where the logs are being bunched, the cylinder 44 is actuated to effectively swing the severed tree 94 angularly with respect to the end ofthe boom and the log-is dumped into a stack or bunch.
FIG. 4 diagrammatically illustrates the equal displacement of hydraulic fluid in the cylinders 80 of the grapple arms 74, 76, when a tree 94 is held in a center position. Cylinders 80 are interconnected by line 81.
If the tree tends to fall sideways as shown in FIG. 5, the space occupied by tree 94 tends to decrease, due to the relative positioning of the pivot points 78 with respect to the arms 74, 76 and the cylinders 80, and which is caused by equal displacement of fluid between cylinders 80. The result is an hydraulic lock between the arms 74, 76, preventing side topple ofthe tree.
It will be appreciated that this shear and felling head although shown on a feller-buncher, can also be used on such vehicles as stump harvesters and the like.
We claim:
1. A tree shearing head for use on a logging machine, said head comprising:
a. a mast structure securable to said logging machine;
b. tree shearing means mounted on said mast adjacent the lower end thereoffor severing a tree from its stump; and
c. tree grasping means spaced upwardly from the shearing means on the mast for grasping the tree during a shearing operation;
d. the tree grasping means being pivotally mounted to said mast thereby allowing movement of the tree relative to the mast during shearing to relieve wedging forces between the tree and the shearing means, said pivotal mounting permitting the tree grasping means to rotate from a position substantially parallel to the tree shearing means to a position in which the portion of the tree grasping means which actually grasps the tree is more remote from said shearing means and angularly inclined with respect thereto.
2. A shearing head according to claim 1 wherein said shearing means comprises a pair of cooperating blade members and the grasping means comprises a pair of arcuate arms to engage the surface of the tree.
3. A tree felling machine comprising a mobile vehicle adapted to maneuver adjacent standing trees; a boom mechanism mounted on the vehicle for horizontal and vertical movement with respect to the vehicle and a tree shearing head pivotally mounted to the outer end of said boom for grasping and severing a tree from its stump, said shearing head comprising:
i. a mast structure pivotally secured to the outer end of said boom;
ii. a pair of tree shearing blades secured to the lower end of the mast and hydraulic means for actuating said blades;
iii. collars on said blades normal to the cutting surface thereof to engage circumferential portions of the tree after severing;
iv. tree grasping means mounted on the upper end of the mast and including a pair of arcuate arms adapted to engage portions of the tree surface during a severing operation;
v. hydraulic means interconnected together and actuating said arcuate arms; and
vi. a pivotal connection between the tree grasping means and the upper end of the mast to allow movement of the graspingmeans and the tree relative to the mast during shearing thereby to relive wedging forces between the tree and the shear blades, said pivotal connection permitting the tree grasping means to rotate from a position substantially parallel to the tree shearing means to a position in which the portion of the tree grasping means which actually grasps the tree is more remote from said shearing means and angularly inclined with respect thereto.

Afghanistan plays down talks with insurgent faction
KABUL (Reuters) - Afghanistan on Tuesday played down the possibility of an early breakthrough in talks with a main insurgent faction, saying negotiations were still in the early stages and it did not want to raise expectations.
The government announced last week President Hamid Karzai had met a senior delegation from Hezb-i-Islami, one of the three main groups fighting Afghan and foreign forces in the country, his first confirmed talks with the group that rivals the Taliban.
Although the talks are preliminary, the public acknowledgement of the meeting was itself a significant milestone after many months of furtive efforts by Karzai to reach out to the militants in a bid to bring an end to the fighting.
A member of the Hezb-i-Islami delegation who met Karzai told Reuters last week the group had presented a 15-point plan, including a demand that foreign troops begin withdrawing in July this year and pull out completely within six months.
That timetable was flexible, the delegate later said, and indicated the rebels could be satisfied with Washington's target of mid-2011 to start withdrawing, provided preparations to pull out began sooner to demonstrate America was sincere.
"The negotiation process is in progress with Hezb-i-Islami," Karzai's chief spokesman, Waheed Omer, told reporters on Tuesday in the first public statement on the talks since the government confirmed the meeting had taken place.
"As for the proposal from Hezb-i-Islami... I'm afraid I cannot release opinions at his time to you because we are in the early stages of the talks and I do not want to raise expectations," he said.
Washington has said it supports plans to reintegrate low-level fighters back into Afghan society, while cautiously backing Afghan efforts to reconcile with senior insurgents, provided they lay down their weapons and repudiate al Qaeda.
Last week, U.S. Defence Secretary Robert Gates said the timing was still not right for reconciliation with senior Afghan Taliban leaders, acknowledging military pressure had yet to weaken the group enough.
Hezb-i-Islami, led by veteran guerrilla commander Gulbuddin Hekmatyar has shared some of the aims of the Taliban, but has led a separate insurgency, mainly in the east and north of Afghanistan.
Hezb-i-Islami is not considered as big a threat by NATO forces as the Taliban and a network of followers of insurgent commander Jalaluddin Haqqani based mainly in the southeast.

Norman Music Festival features mostly Oklahoma acts
"In the middle of the day on the Main Stage, it's big, it's huge and it sounds great," said Larrea, who was also planning to play a nearby house party with Deerpeople on Saturday night after headliner The Joy Formidable finishes their set. "But we like to catch people in the middle of their night, right in the swing of it, when everyone's getting riled up."
Whether or not Norman Music Festival is impacted by storms, Morisse said he will be in the thick of it.
"All weekend is like Christmas — you're going to have fun no matter what," Morisse said.

y 23, 1963 K. R. TORLUEMKE 3,
THERMAL CENTRIFUGAL COMPRESSOR Filed Sept. 12, 1962 INVENTOR.
Kali/7 R. YBr/uemke '22 0.1 7%
United States atent 3,098,602 7 THERMAL CENTRIFUGAL COMPRESSOR Keith R. Torluemke, Rte. 1, Box 351-D, Fall City, Wash.
Filed Sept. 12, 1962, Ser. No. 223,153 4 Claims. (Cl. 230-1) My invention relates to a thermal centrifugal compressor.
An object of my invention is to provide a thermal centrifugal gas compressor which is capable of generating substantially any desired pressure, and is especially well adapted for the generation of high pressures, and to provide a compressor which will not be damaged if the gas therein becomes liquefied by pressure.
Another object is to provide a compressor which requires very little mechanical power to operate, is inherently quiet in operation, and one which can be accurately balanced for smooth and vibrationless operation.
Another object is to provide a compressor of simple, efficient and inexpensive construction in which the number of moving parts are reduced to a minimum, the need for precision machinery is eliminated, and in which there are no valves or piston rings to leak or wear out.
Further objects are to provide a compressor which does not require any'lubrication in the compressor itself thereby eliminating the possibility of gas contaminating the lubricant or being contaminated by the lubricant, this being important in handling corrosive or oxidizing gases, especially at high temperatures and pressures.
In accordance with my invention gas is compressed in a continuous tube in a rapidly rotating housing by the combined or joint action or effect of centrifugal force and change of temperature which alternately subjects the gas to higher and lower pressure and to higher and lower temperature. The shape of the housing can be varied as long as it is well balanced and properly mounted for high speed rotation and as long as the gas tube is continuous and is disposed within and carried by the housing.
Other objects of my invention will be apparent from the following description and accompanying drawings.
In the drawings FIGURE 1 is a cross sectional view with parts in elevation and parts omitted showing a compressor constructed in accordance with my invention.
FIG. 2 is a line diagram illustrative of a gas tube in the form of a coil used in my compressor.
FIG. 3 is a cross sectional view similar to FIG. 1 showing heating means capable of use in alternate chambers of the compressor, the gas tube being omitted.
FIG. 4 is an elevation of my compressor illustrating electrical connections thereto and showing cooling fins on the exterior thereof.
FIG. 5 is a cross sectional view, with parts in elevation, showing a compressor having a housing and a tubular coil of modified form.
FIG. 6 is a fragmentary diagrammatic view illustrating a compressor constructed in accordance with my invention and in which more than one layer of coiled tubing is used.
Like reference numerals refer to like parts throughout the several views.
FIGS. 1 to 4 inclusive show an embodiment of my invention comprising a housing 7 mounted for high speed rotation by a suitable shaft 8 and provided with partitions 10, 11, 12 and 13 which divide the interior of said housing into a plurality of sections or compartments 14, alternately marked H and C to indicate hot and cold.
A helix formed of a continuous pipe or tube 15 is provided in the housing 7. This helix is of flattened or elliptical shape in end elevation or cross section. The tube 15 which forms said helix terminates at one end in an inlet part 16 and at the other end in an outlet part 17, both preferably axially positioned. The helix tube 15 extends through the partition walls 10, 11, 12 and 13 and alternately approaches close to and recedes away from the axis of rotation A of the housing 7 and each complete elliptical turn of the helix tube 15 passes through the four compartments 14, which are alternately hot and cold.
The hot and cold compartments 14 can be kept hot and cold respectively by any suitable means. For example, but not by Way of limitation, an electric heating element 18, FIG. 3, can be provided in the alternate compartments 14 which are marked H, and connected by suitable wires 20 and slip rings 21, see also FIG. 4, with source of electrical energy wires 22. Preferably thermal insulation 23 is provided in or on the walls of the housing 7 externally of the H compartments 14. Also the partitions 10, 11, 12 and 13 can be similarly heat-insulated if desired. The alternate compartments 14 marked C, can be cooled by providing thin spaced apart cooling fins 24 on the walls of the housing 7 external to these compartments 14, or by cir- 'culating a cooling fluid through said C compartments 14.
When this compressor is rotated at high speed centrifugal force will cause the gas pressure at the periphery of the housing 7 to be greater than the pressure close to the axis of rotation by an amount proportional to the density of the gas. If the gas moves slowly enough through the helix tube 15 to assume substantially the same temperature as the hot and cold compartments or sections through which it passes then compression of the gas will take place when the entire unit is rotated.
Due to the joint action of centrifugal force and the changing density of the gas incident to changes of temperature the pressure at 25, FIG. 2, will be greater than the pressure at inlet 16, the pressure at 26 will be greater than the pressure at 25, the pressure at 27 will be greater than the pressure at 26, the pressure at 28 will be greater than the pressure at 27, and so on for each turn of the helix. If the hot compartments H are kept at about twice the absolute temperature of the cold compartments C then each turn of the helix will roughly be equivalent to one stage or impeller of a conventional centrifugal compressor.
FIG. 5 discloses a modified form of this invention comprising a housing 30 of hexagonal cross section provided with six equally spaced apart radial partitions 31 dividing said housing 30 into six similar compartments =32, alternately marked H and C to indicate hot and cold. A continuous tube 33 in the form of a helix is disposed within the housing 30. The helix formed by the tube 33 is shaped so that when it is viewed in end elevation or cross section it presents three symmetrical lobes. Said tube 33 extends repeatedly through the partitions 31 so that one half of each lobe is disposed in a hot compartment and the other half is disposed in an adjacent cold compartment. The housing 30 is rotatively mounted by a shaft 34 and alternate compartments 32 of said housing are provided with heating means 35 and cooling means 36, which can be similar to those shown in FIGS. 1, 3 and 4 and hereinbefore described. The operation of the compressor unit shown in FIG. 5 is similar to the operation of the unit shown in FIGS. 1 to 4.
FIG. 6 illustrates a modified form of my invention in which a continuous tube 40* is wound in overlapping layers 41, 42 and 43 to provide a greater number of stages of compression within a compressor of a given length. The layers 41, 42 and 43 are disposed within a housing 44, a fragment of which is shown and which may be similar to the housing 7. Said layers 41, 42 and 43 are concentric relative to a shaft 45 by which the housing 44 is rotatively mounted. The multiple layer tube 40 would be provided with an inlet end portion 46 and an outlet end portion 47 and can obviously be provided with any desired number of layers.
My compressor differs materially from other thermal compressors in that it uses a continuous length of tubing in which the gas travels and is compressed by stages. This tubing can be in the form of an elliptical helix or its form can be varied. It passes alternately through hot and cold sections of a housing by which it is carried and rotated to subject the gas therein to temperature changes and centrifugal pressure. Important advantages of my continuous tube compressor are that it minimizes the number of pipe joints required and makes it possible and practical to provide for a very large number of stages of compression, thereby making it possible to attain very high compression of the gas. In the event the gas is liquefied in the higher stages of compression the liquefied gas will not, in any way, damage the compressor. Obviously my compressor construction can also be utilized in the art of vacuum creating.
The foregoing description and accompanying drawings clearly disclose preferred embodiments of my invention but it will be understood that this disclosure is merely illustrative and that changes may be made within the scope of the following claims.
I claim:
1. In a thermal centrifugal compressor, a rotatively driven housing; alternate hot and cold sections in said housing; and acontinuous helical tube in said housing extending alternately through said hot and cold sections, said tube extending back and forth in said housing between positions which are alternately near the axis and near the periphery of said housing.
2. A thermal centrifugal compressor comprising a rotatively driven housing; a plurality of alternate hot and cold compartments provided within said housing around the axis thereof; and a continuous helical tube of heat conductive material disposed within and carried by said hous ing and passing successively through alternate hot and cold compartments, the helix formed by said tube being shaped to provide parts which alternately are closer to and farther away from the axis of said housing.
3. A thermal centrifugal compressor comprising a rotatively driven housing; radial walls in said housing dividing the same into a plurality of compartments; means capable of heating alternate compartments; means capable of cooling the other alternate compartments; and an elliptically shaped helically coiled tube of heat conductive material disposed within the housing and passing through the successive heated and cooled compartments, said tube extending back and forth in said housing between positions which are alternately near the axis and near the periphery of said housing. 4. In a thermal centrifugal compressor, a rotatively driven housing; alternate hot and cold sections in said housing; and a continuous helical tube wound in a plurality of overlapping layers disposed in said housing extending alternately through said hot and cold sections, said tube extending back and forth in said housing between positions which are alternately near the axis and near the periphery .of said housing.

New European Super League Under Discussion, ECA Backs Champions League Setup
Published October 14, 2013
ECA RESPONDS: The AFP reported Aysal suggested that the clubs "would be prepared to turn their backs on European governing body UEFA if the organisation opposed their scheme." Aysal: "In the end, the clubs will always be right because the clubs are the actors and the actors have to decide their fate and their future and their destiny" (AFP, 10/10). SKY SPORTS' Graeme Bailey reported the ECA "has insisted it is backing the current UEFA Champions League format." The ECA issued a quick response to Aysal's comments, insisting that "they are more than happy with the current Champions League set-up." A statement read, "The European Club Association (ECA) has taken note of comments made today regarding the alleged creation of a European Super League in 2018. ECA underlines that such an idea was never discussed within the association and never figured on any meeting agenda. ECA is very happy with the current European club competitions" (SKY SPORTS, 10/11).

Netflix breaks into Oscar club with best doc "The Lady in Number 6"
March 3, 2014 - 13:35 AMT
PanARMENIAN.Net - Netflix broke into the Oscar club Sunday, March 2 night, winning its first Oscar for the best documentary short subject The Lady in Number 6: Music Saved My Life, The Hollywood Reporter said.
The streaming video service's arrival at the Academy Awards follows a similar showing at September's Emmy Awards, where it made history by taking home three Emmys for House of Cards -- including a best directing trophy for David Fincher. Actress Robin Wright also took a Golden Globe award for the series in January.
Netflix did not produce The Lady in Number 6, Malcolm Clarke's film about Alice Herz-Somme, but instead picked up distribution rights to the completed film early last week. Somme was the world's oldest known Holocaust survivor at the time of filming, who died in London at the age of 110 on Sunday, Feb. 23.
Netflix also had a horse in the feature documentary race, where it holds streaming rights to Jeane Noujaim's The Square, but that film, although a critical favorite, lost in its category to Twenty Feet From Stardom. Netflix picked up streaming rights in November to Noujaim's documentary about the Egyptian Revolution and began offering it to subscribers in mid-January.

Poems by John F. McCullagh : 217 / 651
I'll Call It A Day When I Die
I'm the boss, I don't plan to retire..
As long as there's breathe in these lungs
I'll sing till my body's past tired.
For music's a sweet occupation.
and mine is a lyrical line.
For singing has been my true love
And music my only vocation
A concert puts a song in my heart
and the work is like I'm on vacation.
