Such arrangement constitutes a firm support between the casings and at the same time permits limited angular movement between them. For a consideration of what I believe to lbe novel and my invention, attention is directed to the following description and the claims appended thereto in connection with the accompanying drawing. In the drawing Fig. 1 illustrates an arrangement embodying my invention, and Fig. 2 is an enlarged detail view of a part of Fig. l. The invention is of particular significance in connection 'with turbine-generators for ?mobile power plants supported on railroad cars or like vehicles. Such turbine-generators are of considerable length and arranged lengthwise of the sup porting truck. When moving through a curve 20 铎anged inlet of the condenser 26. The turbine-generator in the present example is a three~bearing set, that the rotors of the Vgenerator and turbine are supported by three bearings. A bearing 28 .is arranged to support zo the outer end of the generator rotor on the gen erator casing in conventional manner` An other bearing is arranged between the turbine and the generator to support the adjacent ends of the two rotors, and a third bearing 3i? located 30 inthe exhaust conduit supports the outer end of the turbine rotor on the conduit The bear ing 29 has an outer spherically-shaped surface 3i engaging a similarly shaped supporting ring 32 which in turn is supported by an annular bracket :4,5 secured to, the present instance integrally formed with, annular casing "ill which at its left-hand end has a flange 35 secured to a flange of the turbine casing i9 and circurnferentially positioned r tive to the latter by radial key or over a rough track and Aalso due to tempera- .m means .

Everyone knows that Ben Stiller’s dad is the famous comedian Jerry Stiller, famous for his roles in Taking of Pelham 123 and Jerry Seinfeld, but it is only today that we learn Ben’s mom was also a famous actress – Anne Meara.
Unfortunately, we learn this for the worst possible reason. The actress and comedian has passed away at 85.
Anne’s career bloomed in the 1960s and she played roles in popular TV shows like All My Children and The Love Boat. In the 1990s, she had a role on Sex and the City and she appeared in King of Queens, marrying her real-life husband in one of the episodes.
Jerry and Anne were married for more than 60 years, marking theirs one of the longest Hollywood marriages of all time.
Her son and husband confirmed her passing to the Associated Press, but they did not provide any additional details.
We offer our condolences to the Stiller family.

The Nebraska football team is looking to win three in a row for the first time since before Scott Frost arrived on campus when they take on the Purdue Boilermakers on Saturday night.
It should be pointed out that night games under Mickey Joseph have been good for Nebraska football. Both Indiana and Rutgers were night games, and the Huskers are 2-0 in those games. Of course, the situation is a bit different this week as it will take on a team that is a legitimate contender for the Big Ten Championship game.
Purdue had to outlast the Maryland Terapins 31-29 last week thanks to a missed 2-point conversion by the terps near the end of the contest. While that win was almost a colossal implosion after taking a healthy lead, the Boilermakers also have an important win against Minnesota, who looked dominant before that matchup.
Of course, Purdue also has just a 2-point win over FAU on its resume, so it’s not as though they’ve been unbeatable so far. They’ve also got a loss to Penn State, and that’s why they’re currently tied with the Huskers for the Big Ten West, as both teams are 2-1 in the conference.
Nebraska football vs. Purdue Odds Week 7
Nebraska football lines have moved quite a bit this season as the week has gone on, so those who think Nebraska stays within 14 points might want to pounce before it shrinks. Likewise, history has shown that those favoring Purdue are going to want to wait a bit to see if they can get it down to 10 or 11 points.
WynnBet and FanDuel also agree on the total as both sites currently have it set at 58.5 for the game.
Nebraska football vs. Purdue Prediction Week 7
After my second straight 0-for-2 week, I’ve fallen back to 4-4 on the season after starting out 4-0.
This week, with the Nebraska football team being on the road for a second straight week against a much tougher opponent, I, unfortunately, have to go with Purdue to cover. I’ll also take the under, as the Nebraska football offense has sputtered quite a bit in the last three games.

The Baldwin Park Kids Club is doing its part to help refugees in the Ukraine.
Although the Russo-Ukrainian War has been escalating for years, the conflict erupted in February with a Russian invasion of the Ukraine, causing hundreds of civilian deaths and infrastructure destruction.
Millions of refugees have fled their homes seeking safety, protection and assistance.
The Baldwin Park Kids Club combined a celebration of the Easter holiday with a donation effort for Ukrainian families and children through an afternoon egg hunt Friday, April 15.
Bree Holbrook, community service and outreach coordinator for the club, remembers when she learned of the turmoil.
“I was heartbroken and couldn’t imagine having to go through something like that,” she says.
The club asked participants to bring 12 stuffed non-candy eggs and items to donate for the refugees, including canned meat, oil, salt, powdered milk, baby supplies, wipes, diapers, tampons and old baby carriers.
The donations were dropped off at the Lake Baldwin Church office in downtown Baldwin Park.
“It’s really important to give back to our community so that our kids learn that life is not only about them,” Holbrook says. “Doing for others and wanting to make this world a better place is what this world needs. If we can teach our kids this at an early age, it will help them as adults have a heart for those in need.”
The club worked in collaboration with Dan and Rebecca Gregoire, who have lived and worked in Slovakia for the last 15 years. The couple currently lives in Spisska Nova Ves, about two hours from the Ukrainian border, where they have opened their home to Ukrainian refugees and made almost daily trips to the border to deliver supplies and provide safe transportation for women and children fleeing the country.
Holbrook says she hopes the event raised awareness about the crisis in Ukraine and gave local kids an opportunity to have a fun Easter egg hunt.
Alena Baker, lead organizer and founding member of the club, says it holds a special place in her heart.
“I love that the Baldwin Park Kids Club brings together the children of our community for both friendship as well as a way to instill the value of service to others,” Baker says.

For those working with infographics, the beginning of the year is always a good opportunity to evaluate the quality and functionality of the work produced during the previous year. This ends up happening involuntary, motivated by the fact that the majority of contests and awards occur within the first quarter of each year. Thus, it is necessary to look at the whole production to choose the material to be submitted.
One of the essential points for choosing pieces is to develop criteria that can serve as a ‘cutoff’. Some important criteria are:
- Representativeness of the infographic
Since today many infographics are produced by a team, a way to facilitate the choice is occasionally discuss each piece, it greatly facilitates the critical analysis of each work, and consequently those who pass through this “sieve” end up being the best to send.
Events like SND and Malofiej are, above all, an opportunity for us (professionals) to reflect how we worked with the information, what were the reasons that led us to produce an infographic in a certain way, how did we find solutions and if we reached the goal of communicating effectively. When looking at a piece published months earlier, all the rights and wrongs are clear.
The careful selection is justified because the work will be compared with the best infographics and publications in the world. I consider these opportunities to be as thermometers, for measuring both regional and international infographics.
It is a huge satisfaction to be awarded, any professional, regardless of the area, likes the recognition for his effort, and as much as the focus is not winning, it ends up generating some anxiety, and the level of your work increases annually. But in the end, what counts is the informational efficiency.
These events reward the investment in communication innovation , accuracy and depth, but they can also generate discussions in the infographic community (something that is always welcome). A recent example happened in Malofiej 20, with the Peter Sullivan / Best of Show Award being presented to The New York Times. The newspaper won with the infographic ‘The Guantanamo Docket.’ and its online version ‘Guantanamo Detainees’.
Opinions aside, The New York Times has been producing the most sophisticated infographic news for quite sometime now, and it will always be one of the favorites.
The volume of entries is proof of how infographics settled as an important tool of journalism. In Malofiej 20 were 1513 works of 148 vehicles (newspapers, magazines and websites) representing 29 countries, which set a new record of participation.
This year, two new categories were created that will award works about the Olympics and the centenary of the sinking of the Titanic, which is a smart solution, since most of the newsrooms produced extensive materials on these subjects, and it could overshadow other interesting works.

We will use a range of methods and techniques including distortion, extraction, reduction and relocation. Lines, patterns, shapes, formats AND for good measure a little Matisse!
