The present invention relates to a refueling system for electrically powered vehicles. More particularly the present invention relates to a refueling system for automated recharging of zinc-air batteries.
Various proposals have been made in the past for electrically powered vehicles. To date, for a number of reasons, electric vehicle systems have yet to become commercially viable generally for urban highway applications. There have been proposals to employ zinc-air batteries for urban vehicle propulsion. An example is the following publication: Improved slurry zinc-air systems as batteries for urban vehicle propulsion, by P. C. Foller, Journal of Applied Electrochemistry 16(1986), 527-543.
"Machine Design" of Sep. 21, 1989 carried a review of electric batteries and vehicles and found that delivery vans were likely to be the first commercially produced electrically driven vehicles.
The Bedford CF electric van, using a lead-acid battery, is in production in the United Kingdom. It has a 50-60 mile range and a top speed of 50 mph, as reported by the Standard Handbook for Electrical Engineers.
Metal-air battery structures are described in the following publications: U.S. Pat. No. 4,842,963, entitled Zinc Electrode and Rechargeable Zinc-Air Battery; U.S. Pat. No. 4,147,839, entitled Electrochemical Cell with Stirred Slurry; U.S. Pat. No. 4,908,281, entitled Metal-air Battery with Recirculating Electrolyte; U.S. Pat. No. 3,847,671, entitled Hydraulically Refuelable Metal-Gas Depolarized Battery System; U.S. Pat. No. 4,925,744, entitled Primary Aluminum-Air Battery; U.S. Pat. No. 3,716,413, entitled Rechargeable Electrochemical Power Supply. In U.S. Pat. No. 3,592,698, entitled Metal Fuel Battery with Fuel Suspended in Electrolyte, there is described inter alia a method for circulating an electrolyte/metal fuel powder mixture through the battery; U.S. Pat. No. 4,126,733, entitled Electrochemical Generator Comprising an Electrode in the Form of a Suspension, relates to a similar subject using a circulated suspension of inert cores coated with an electrochemically active material. In U.S. Pat. No. 4,341,847, entitled Electrochemical Zinc-Oxygen Cell, there is described a method in which an electrolyte is circulated in the annular space between concentric electrodes.
Electrical energy storage systems are described in the following publications: U.S. Pat. No. 4,843,251 entitled Energy Storage and Supply; Energy on Call by John A. Casazza et al, IEEE Spectrum Jun., 1975, pp 44-47; U.S. Pat. No. 4,275,310, entitled Peak Power Generation; U.S. Pat. No. 4,124,805, entitled Pollution-Free Power Generating and Peak Power Load Shaving System; U.S. Pat. No. 4,797,566, entitled Energy Storing Apparatus.
Regeneration of spent zinc-containing alkaline electrolyte is described in a number of prior patents. For example, in U.S. Pat. No. 3,847,671 (mentioned above) whole spent electrolyte is subjected to electrolysis, when zinc deposited at the cathode is removed with a wiper blade. The thus-removed zinc is said to be substantially heavier than the electrolyte (35-40% KOH) and thus falls to the bottom of each cell. In U.S. Pat. No. 3,981,747, it is proposed to regenerate the spent zinc in an alkaline electrolyte reaction with a strongly electronegative metal, such as magnesium or aluminum, which displaces the zinc. In U.S. Pat. No. 4,341,847 (also mentioned above), spent zinc in the alkaline electrolyte is regenerated either by reversing the current and plating zinc on the anode, or by merely mechanically replacing zinc oxide particles by active zinc particles as described, e.g., in Israel Specification 10093, the teachings of which are incorporated herein by reference.
Metal-air and particularly zinc-air battery systems are known in the art and, due to their high energy densities, relative safety of operation and the possibility of ready mechanical recharging, such systems have been suggested as a power source for electrically propelled automotive vehicles. To date, for various reasons, such systems have yet to meet with significant commercial success.
For use in vehicle propulsion, it is highly desirable that a battery have a high specific energy, relative to its own weight. Lead-acid batteries produce only 30-40 Wh/kg, and even the high-temperature sodium-sulfur type is rated at only 100 Wh/kg. Herein lies a central advantage of the zinc-air battery, which is rated at 150-250 Wh/kg, higher than any other rechargeable battery available.
One of the principal drawbacks of battery systems as a power source for automotive vehicle propulsion, and particularly zinc-air battery systems, resides in the difficulty in achieving the combination of both a high continuous current drain, such as is needed for extended uphill driving, and short term high peak power output such as is needed for quick acceleration, while at the same time maintaining a high energy density and facilitating rapid rechargeability.
On the one hand, in order to achieve high continuous current drain a large reservoir of active anode material is needed. Due to space and other considerations this is generally best achieved by incorporation of a highly porous active anode element having large-surface active anodic material.
By contrast, in order to achieve high peak power output, i.e. the ability to provide a very high level of power for a short burst of time, studies have found that a tight interparticulate structure of the active anodic material is advantageous. This results in a low porosity with known powdered anodes and can drastically reduce the current capacity of the battery.
To date, in known-in-the-art battery systems much emphasis has been placed on achieving high capacity. Zinc anodes in various battery systems are generally formed in one of two broad families of processes: According to one family, particularly applicable to primary alkaline batteries, the anodes are constructed from finely powdered zinc typically produced by a thermal atomization process. The resultant zinc powder typically has a particulate-size distribution of between 0.0075 to 0.8 mm and a surface area of between 0.2-0.4 m2 /g; it is generally combined with mercury, sodium carboxymethyl cellulose and KOH solution to form a gelled mass readily extruded into an anode form. Alternatively the powdered zinc may be sintered, or wetted with mercury and pressed into a plate. Porosity of the anode may be controlled by use of removeable pore forming materials such as NH4 C1. The density of the zinc anode material precursor used in such methods is typically within the range of 2.5-3.5 gr/cc.
According to the second family of processes, exemplified by an anode proposed by Ross, U.S. Pat. No. 4,842,963, claimed to be particularly suitable for electrically rechargeable zinc-air batteries, the electrode is prepared by electrolytically depositing zinc on the internal surface of the foam electrode support to form a zinc electrode. Said patent however claims an improved zinc electrode for a rechargeable zinc-air battery comprising an outer frame, a porous foam electrode support within said frame having zinc deposited thereon and treated prior to the deposition of zinc thereon to inhibit the formation of zinc dendrites on the external surface thereof, and means within said outer frame for circulating an alkaline electrolyte through the interior of said treated zinc-coated porous foam, and a battery system which requires the inclusion of circulation means for a circulating alkaline electrolyte through the interior thereof is not practical or desirable.
At typical current densities it has been found that zinc-air batteries in which the anodes are constructed according to the above methods fail to provide a combination of rapid rechargeability, high current capacity and high peak power output. Hence it would be desirable to provide an anode capable of providing a battery with all of these attributes, i.e. high current density, rapid rechargeability, high current capacity and high peak power output.
In an effort to further increase the advantages of using zinc-air battery systems for electro-automotive propulsion, it has now been proposed in a copending application to employ a mechanically rechargeable battery system comprising a rigid anode designed to be rapidly removed and replaced on a periodic basis at dedicated service stations specifically equipped for the purpose. The spent anodic material, which after use has been oxidized, may then be recycled external to the battery for later reuse in other batteries. To facilitate recycling of the active anodic material, it is necessary to separate the spent anodic material from the other anode components.
In Israel Specification 100903 there is described and claimed an improved zinc battery anode, particularly for zinc-air batteries, featuring a substantially planar skeletal frame comprising conductive metal having a portion of its surface area formed as open spaces, and an active zinc anode element encompassing the skeletal frame, and said active anode element formed of a slurry of porous granules comprising zinc, impregnated with and suspended in an electrolyte, compacted under pressure onto the skeletal frame.
Said specification however does not teach or suggest a method for automated recharging of the such anodes.
With this state of the art in mind there is now provided according to the present invention a refueling system for automated recharging of zinc-air batteries of the type having a plurality of active zinc anode elements formed of active zinc material attached to a support frame immersed in an aqueous alkaline electrolyte in a battery casing, each anode element being in alternate array with an air cathode, said system comprising:
a) automated means for simultaneously separating a plurality of spent anodes from said casing;
b) means for removing used electrolyte from said casing;
c) transport means for conveying spent anodes to an anode processing station
d) said anode processing station, at which at least partially oxidized zinc is removed from said support frame;
e) means for attaching new or reconstituted active zinc material to a cleaned support frame to form an active zinc anode;
f) automated means for simultaneously introducing a plurality of active zinc anodes into said casing; and
g) means for introducing fresh electrolyte into said casing.
While the following description refers mainly to a refueling and regeneration station such as is shown in FIG. 12, wherein a spent battery is removed from the vehicle and replaced with a new or newly recharged battery, many of the components described would be suitable for use in a system where the battery is recharged without removal from the vehicle. The former system is appropriate to a situation where said refueling station must quickly service incoming vehicles which are to be driven immediately, while the latter system is appropriate for servicing for example delivery vans which are operated by day only and are recharged during the night.
It will also be apparent that refueling and regeneration need not necessarily be carried out at the same site. For example, a single central regeneration station may well serve a plurality of refueling stations. The latter will service electric vehicles each in its own area, and transfer spent batteries (or spent battery anodes) in bulk to the former in exchange for regenerated batteries (or regenerated anodes). Thereby the regeneration station will be able to make use of its automated equipment, while each refueling station requires only the simple equipment needed to remove and replace batteries (or anodes) in vehicles.
The invention will now be described in connection with certain preferred embodiments with reference to the following illustrative figures so that it may be more fully understood.
With specific reference now to the figures in detail, it is stressed that the particulars shown are by way of example and for purposes of illustrative discussion of the preferred embodiments of the present invention only and are presented in the cause of providing what is believed to be the most useful and readily understood description of the principles and conceptual aspects of the invention. In this regard, no attempt is made to show structural details of the invention in more detail than is necessary for a fundamental understanding of the invention, the description taken with the drawings making apparent to those skilled in the art how the several forms of the invention may be embodied in practice.

FIG. 10 is a plan view of the lower platen of said press;
FIG. 11 is a diagramatic view of a device for inert gas flushing; and
FIG. 12 is a pictorial view of a refueling station for electric vehicles.
There are seen in FIG. 1 most of the components of a refueling system for automated recharging of zinc-air batteries of the type having a plurality of active zinc anode elements formed of active zinc material attached to a support frame immersed in an aqueous alkaline electrolyte in a battery casing, each anode element being in alternative array with an air cathode. These batteries have been described in our co-pending application filed today.
The system 10 includes automated means 12 for simultaneously separating a plurality of spent anodes 14s from the battery casing 16 which means 12 will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 2 & 3.
Associated with means 12 are means 18 for removing used electrolyte 20 from the casing 16; this will be described with reference to FIGS. 4 & 5.
Also seen are transport means 22 for conveying spent anodes 14 to an anode processing station 24. The drawing shows an intermediate storage station 26 which is used to achieve an even flow of spent anodes 14s to the processing station 24, which will be described with reference to FIGS. 7 & 8. At the station 24, zinc which has been at least partly oxidized is removed from the anode support frame 28.
Also seen is a dissolution tank 30 and electrowinning baths 32 which will be described with reference to FIG. 6.
The system 10 also includes means 34 for attaching new or reconstituted active zinc material to a cleaned support frame 28 to form an active zinc anode which means 34 are seen in FIGS. 9 & 10.
Shown in FIG. 1 is a power conversion and control unit 36, and buffer tanks 38 for the storage of electrolyte or electric fuel.
The system 10 further includes automated means for simultaneously introducing a plurality of active zinc anodes into the battery casing. For this purpose means 12, described with reference to FIGS. 2 & 3 may be used. It will therefore be advantageous to use at least two such devices, one for disassembly and one for assembly. Similarly, means 18 for removing spent electrolyte 20 may also comprise the means for introducing fresh electrolyte 20 into the battery casing 16. Again, it will be convenient to use separate units for removal and filling.
FIG. 2 shows automated means 12 for simultaneously separating a plurality of spent anodes 14s from a battery casing 16. The same device may be arranged to operate for the reverse purpose as automated means for simultaneously introducing a plurality of active zinc anodes 14a into the casing 16.
The battery 40 being refueled is clamped to a horizontal table 42 after having previously had its upper cover removed. A multi-anode clamping device 44, which will be described with reference to FIG. 3, is slidably mounted on a column 46 and may be driven either up or down thereon; it is shown in its upper position holding a set of spent anodes 14s which it has lifted out of the casing 16.
A container 48 for spent anodes 14s is shown at an intermediate height, below the spent anodes 14s which are held in the device 44. The container 48 can be swung into alignment under the device 44 to receive spent anodes 14s therefrom. A second container 50 holding active anodes 14a may alternatively be swung under the device 44, which is arranged to grip and lift out the anodes 14a. After the container 50 has been swung back to clear a path for the device 44, the new anodes 14a are lowered into the battery being refueled 40.
FIG. 3 shows a detail of the clamping device 44, and also parts of the battery being processed.
The device 44 forms the means for separating a plurality of spent anodes 14s from the battery casing 16; it comprises a mechanism 52 which simultaneously grips a plurality of spent anodes 14s and lifts them out of the casing 16.
The battery parts shown are the anode support and collector frame 28, the porous zinc sheet 56, male contacting elements 58, upper horizontal conducting bar 60, and a lower elastomeric gasket 62 mounted on a plastic support 64.
In order to remove spent anodes 14s from the casing 16, the mechanism 52 is brought down and swiveled into place, locking in under projecting lugs 66. A pair of weighted compression levers 68 cause hooks 70 to maintain contact with the lugs 66 as the mechanism 52 is raised by an eyelet 72 and lift tie levers 74. A plurality of clamping devices 44 operate simultaneously to service part or all of a battery.
There is seen in FIG. 4 a device 18 for removing and replacing electrolyte 20, usually KOH, in the battery casing 16.
The device 18 includes a pump (not shown) provided with multiple inlet orifices 76 and outlet orifices 78, which are insertable each into a cell of the casing 16 after removal of spent anodes 14s therefrom. The electrolyte 20 passes through a manifold 79. The device 18, in addition to removal and replacement of electrolyte, may be used for topping up and for rinsing out any solid matter accumulating in the casing 16. The device 18 operates after being lowered down into a casing 16 and is raised on completion of the task being performed. While the device 18 shown in the drawing appears as an independent unit, it is advantageous to combine it with the automated means 12 shown in FIG. 2. Such an arrangement saves a transfer operation of the casing 16.
FIG. 5 shows a device 80 for removing used electrolyte 20 from a battery casing 16, which is here shown divided into cells 82.
The device 80 comprises a stand 84, a hinged platform 86 for tilting casing 16 and clamping means 88 for holding the casing 16. A drain tray 90 receives spent electrolyte 20 for renewal or disposal. At a station where it is required only to remove spent electrolyte 20, the device 80 is faster and cheaper than the device 18.
FIG. 6 shows a two-step anode processing unit for reconstituting oxidized zinc to produce active zinc.
In a first stage, zinc oxide, which has been previously removed from spent anodes 14s by a device such as will be described with reference to FIGS. 7 & 8, is fed into a dissolution tank 30, where it is dissolved in excess KOH to produce a zincate solution. The zincate solution is subsequently transfered to an electrowinning bath 32 to produce particulate active zinc.
FIG. 7 shows a machine 92 for removal of zinc oxide 94 from the anode support frame 28. Zinc, which has been at least partly oxidized, is mechanically removed from the support frame 28 in the machine 92 which is provided with a plurality of axes 95, each provided with revolvably driven flexibly suspended bodies 96. The machine 92 is provided with means 97, for example a reciprocable air cylinder, to bring the support frame 28 into contact with the bodies 96, which act to delaminate the relatively brittle zinc oxide from the frame 28. As will be realised alternate means, such as grappling means (not shown) can be provided for pulverizing the discharged anode 94 material retained on said frame 28. A container 98 is provided with an upper guideslot 100 for insertion of a spent anode 14s. The discharge product, mainly ZnO with some residual metallic zinc and KOH, is collected in the container 98, and subsequently transferred to the dissolution tank 30. The anode support frame 28 is transferred for cleaning by a KOH rinse and soak operation.
FIG. 9 shows the upper and lower platens 102, 104 of a compaction press comprising means 34 for manufacturing active anodes 14a, and FIG. 10 shows the lower platen 104 of said press. Both platens can suitably be made of PVC, which is resistant to the KOH contained in the slurry 108.
A container 106 is configured to hold an anode support frame 28 which is immersed in a preweighed zinc slurry 108. The press is provided with means to apply a pressure of at least 20 kg/cm2, preferably 30 kg/cm2 over the surface of the slurry 108. The container 106 is provided with drain means 110 to allow escape of surplus KOH.
In operation, new or reconstituted active zinc material is attached to a cleaned support frame 28 to form an active zinc anode 14a comprising a rigid sheet of KOH-immpregnated porous zinc on the current collector. After removal from the press the anode 14a is inserted into a cleaned separator bag (not shown) and is ready for use in refueling. Zinc anodes or anode material may be transported or stored in a transport vessel, as described in co-pending U.S. patent application Ser. No. 08/122,718, filed Sep. 15, 1993, the teachings of which are incorporated herein by reference.
FIG. 11 shows a device 112 for inert gas flushing of containers for anodes or anode material. The container 52 is sealed by the attachment of a gas-tight cover 114, and air is removed and replaced by an inert gas such as nitrogen or argon. A source 116 of compressed inert gas is connected to one port 118 of the containers 52 while air is allowed to escape through a one-way valve 120 in a second port. The container is then available for transport or storage.
FIG. 12 shows a refueling station for electric vehicles 122. A first underground conveyor 124 accepts discharged batteries 40 which have been removed by robotic lifting devices 126 from vehicles 122. A second underground conveyor 128 carries recharged anodes in containers 52 and these are picked up by the devices 126 and positioned and lowered into the vehicles 122. A truck 130 is seen receiving containers 48 holding discharged anodes or discharged batteries 40 from the conveyor 124, by means of a further robotic device 132, for transfer to a recharging facility. Subsequently the truck 130 will collect recharged batteries 40 or containers 52 of fresh anodes from the recharging facility for supplying the conveyor 128.
It will be evident to those skilled in the art that the invention is net limited to the details of the foregoing illustrated embodiments and that the present invention may be embodied in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential attributes thereof. The present embodiments are therefore to be considered in all respects as illustrative and not restrictive, the scope of the invention being indicated by the appended claims rather than by the foregoing description, and all changes which come within the meaning and range of equivalency of the claims are therefore intended to be embraced therein.

Prime time for crime: Summer a good time to review burglary prevention strategies
The Joplin Police Department has the stats to show that home burglaries increase during the summer within city limits. Over the past four years, burglaries are highest in August, then May and June.
Sarah Coyne: Short lecture instills big lesson on handling disagreements
There was golden silence when I left the house that morning. The girls were upstairs playing quietly and had been treating one another with nothing but kindness and respect for almost an hour. Me being the paragon of optimism that I am, I knew it couldn't last.

Sarah Coyne: Long trip requires preparation
For the first time, my little family is about to embark on a cross-country vacation. We've made quick road trips here and there, but this summer will mark our induction into the airplane-flying, beach-going, more-than-weekending club. And we're terrified.
Reading can become a great summer habit with right suggestions
Reading is part of daily activities for Shanon Cooper and her children Kaya and Kohl. The three were at Joplin Public Library Tuesday to pick out a few new books -- Kaya, 8, had her eye on a series of books about fairies and Kohl, 10, had a few football stories chosen.

Swimming pools are open and staffed with lifeguards. The weather is warm enough for adventures in creeks, rivers and lakes. But the best place to start teaching kids to swim is in the family bathroom.

Three Sentenced In Opioid "Pill Mill" Case, Including Dallas Doctor
DALLAS - U.S. District Judge Sidney A. Fitzwater sentenced three defendants, including a doctor, a pharmacist, and the owner of McAllen Medical Clinic, today for their involvement in a “pill mill” operation, announced U.S. Attorney John Parker of the Northern District of Texas.
- Muhammad Faridi, 41, of Murphy, was sentenced to 108 months in federal prison following his guilty plea in August 2016 to one count of conspiracy to launder monetary instruments.
- Dr. Richard Andrews, 64, of Dallas, was sentenced to 96 months in federal prison following his guilty pleas in January 2017 to one count of conspiracy to distribute a controlled substance, namely, Oxycodone, and one count of conspiracy to launder monetary instruments.
- Ndufola Kigham, 45, of Arlington, was sentenced to 27 months in federal prison following her guilty pleas in February 2017 to two counts of misprision of felony.
“These diverted prescription pain pills kill more people in this country than heroin, while simultaneously fueling demand for heroin itself,” said U.S. Attorney Parker. “Eighty percent of heroin users started down that dark, steep path by abusing prescription pain pills first. Those who divert legitimate drugs from their lawful, therapeutic purposes to illicit, deadly purposes all in the name of money are no better than any other drug trafficker and will be treated accordingly.”
According to documents filed in the case, from approximately January 2013 through July 2014, Andrews, a doctor of osteopathy, and his co-conspirators, including Faridi, who is not a physician but who owned the McAllen Medical Clinic, distributed and caused to be distributed at least 150,000 30mg oxycodone pills in Dallas. The prescriptions were issued in Andrews’ name and under his DEA registration number. Andrews wrote or signed prescriptions for 30mg oxycodone pills without conducting medical exams of patients, without determining there was a legitimate medical purpose for the prescription, and outside the usual course of professional practice. Sometimes Faridi filled out the prescriptions Andrews had previously signed. Andrews and his coconspirators issued the illegitimate prescriptions to make money.
The proceeds of the drug-trafficking conspiracy consisted of cash payments collected by Faridi and other coconspirators at McAllen Medical Clinic for fake patient visits. Those payments varied per patient, per visit, and were payable only in cash. Andrews received a share of those cash payments
Co-defendant Kigham, a registered pharmacist who owned, operated, and served as the pharmacist in charge of GenPharm Pharmacy on Wheatland Road in Desoto, Texas, knew of the conspiracy and failed to notify any authority of it. Instead, she committed affirmative acts to conceal the conspiracy, such as filling prescriptions for 30mg oxycodone written for multiple different individuals and dispensing the filled prescriptions to a single individual, and not to the individuals named on the prescription. By filling these prescriptions while the conspiracy was ongoing, Kigham dispensed more than 70,000 30mg oxycodone pills based on illegitimate prescriptions.
In March 2015, a federal grand jury in Dallas indicted 23 individuals on offenses related to a prescription drug distribution conspiracy. Andrews, Kigham and Faridi were charged in December 2015 by a superseding indictment. The indictment alleged that from at least May 2013 through July 2014, the defendants participated in a scheme to illicitly obtain prescriptions for pain medications, such as oxycodone and hydrocodone, and then distribute those controlled substances for profit. As part of the conspiracy, individuals, often homeless or of limited means, were recruited and paid to pose as patients at medical clinics, including the McAllen Medical Clinic in Dallas, to obtain prescriptions and to fill those prescriptions at designated pharmacies.
The prescription medications were then distributed like street drugs in Texas and Louisiana.
This Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task (OCDETF) was investigated by the DEA and the Internal Revenue Service Criminal Investigation, with assistance from the Texas Department of Public Safety, the Louisiana State Police, the Grand Prairie Police Department, the Dallas Police Department, the Houston Police Department, the Arlington Police Department, the Greenville Police Department, the Parker County Sheriff’s Office, the U.S. Marshal’s Service, the U.S. Postal Inspection Service, and the Diplomatic Security Service. Assistant U.S. Attorney Mary Walters prosecuted.

As a woman online, receiving unwanted sexually-charged messages can often be considered part of life on the Internet. While such harassment can be disconcerting and annoying, most platforms provide mechanisms to block offfenders or report them for reporting purposes.
Mia Matsumiya, a musician from Los Angeles has come up with an effective solution to take down perverts and bring their behavior into the light.
Matsumiya created an Instagram account called ‘Perv Chat’ where she documents all of the negative comments she receives about early to mid teen girls she knows, most often targeting Matsumiya herself and the band PJ Magnet members in general. Matsumiya hopes that through Perv Chat people may feel uncomfortable reading these offensive texts just like she does when reading them for themselves.
But closing chat rooms won’t stop children being abused; it will simply force them into using more obscure and harder to find ones. As we know, most children who are being groomed online are doing so by those they trust such as family or friends – not strangers in chat rooms.

The Math Book by Clifford Pickover was a good read. The book goes through history and talks about the relevant mathematical findings. Pickover starts from c. 150 million years B.C. and works his way up to 2007. Pickover, in his introduction, states that he realizes that some of the discoveries not mentioned may be more important than the ones that he states, but this is his own opinion on the most significant findings and the ones he enjoyed learning about the most.
The book has a good structure. Each new page is a new "section" and is completely independent from the previous or next page. Each page also has an accompanying picture that, in some ways, tries to help the reader in their understanding of the subject. Pickover, in each entry, tries to give some background about the subject and who discovered it and also tries to explain some what the discovery did or is doing for math now. Each section is short and easy to read, which makes the book a fast read and not too time intensive to read through.
The book did some things well. The book did a good job going over many topics (249 in total) relatively fast and briefly. This book gives the reader a good sense of what has been done in math since c. 150 million years B.C. The book also does a good job trying to link together many of the subjects talked about. Each page has bolded words that refer the reader to other passages with similar context or to help the reader with an understanding on how the discovery was made (usually due to something earlier in the book). At the end of each page, you can use the references to find other similar works if reading this book for a leisure read and wanting to gain more knowledge on a specific topic. Pickover does do a good job of explaining who discovered each mathematical finding too. He gives a very brief history on the person (i.e. who they are, their nationality, their race/religion, etc.) so that the reader can gain a respect for the breadth of math. I believe that Pickover does this because he wants the reader to understand that math is discovered everywhere and by all types of people, yet sometimes he can bog down the reader with the details. The most interesting part of this book, which was sometimes the most frustrating too, was the "paradoxes" and "problems" that Pickover places in the book. I had an easy time understanding some of the "paradoxes" and/or "problems," but other times, like other sections, I just had no idea what was going on and so I would just skim over the reading and not understand it. The "paradoxes" and "problems" that I did understand were very interesting though. I found myself waiting to read the answer until giving myself sufficient time to try and find the answer (or have a guess) myself. It made the book more fun to read and gave a break from the strictly math sections of the book.
The book also has many things that I would change. There are frequently (more so toward the end of the book) pages and sections that I would leave out entirely. For the standard student, some sections are either WAY over their head, way to rudimentary, or just plain boring. The book would therefore go into way too much detail or just not enough at all. I found that some sections I would finish the page description and leave with a "what?" or "I don't understand this at all" feel. After talking to some other students reading the book, they felt the same way. On the other hand, the pages that were just plain simple, I felt like the discovery was important, but the details not so much because they are self explanatory (i.e. a least squares line he goes into a two paragraph description of what it is). Another thing that I would change about the book is the amount of background given for each section. Sometimes the amount of background given for a particular section would overtake the math of the section and cause me to miss the overall reason for the section in the book. The background, while I understand is sometimes necessary, would just be too in-depth. A more brief background would have benefited me more and then if I was interested in the subject I would look up more. The last thing that I did not like about the book was the amount of quotes given from other mathematicians about a particular work. These added nothing to the sections. Sometimes it seemed that Pickover would add these quotes just because he realized that a finding was important, but didn't understand if fully and so he would take up space on the page with these quotes. I found that by the end of the book, almost any time something was quoted from some other mathematician I would completely skip the quote because it added nothing to my understanding and was a waste of my time to read it.
While it may seem that I had a lot of complaints about the book, I did highly enjoy reading it. I found that as I was reading about things I would be able to link them to other things I have learned in math. I also enjoyed learning about the history of math from another perspective. If you can get past the critics I have on the book, I would suggest reading this book, as it was not a hard read and had some very interesting topics.

Black Light Rainbow
by Joshua Brown
These boys mean business, very mean, I might add. Starting point A: The gun in your face on the cover of the sleeve. As soon as the needle hits the vinyl it’s an all out assault on the boundaries of rock as we know it, spitting out incoherent lyrics lined with earsplitting energy. If I were to shoot a video, it would consist of taking over a soft rock station and blasting their high octane through the airwaves.

How Federal Programs Support Private K-12 Students and Teachers
The most recent publication, How Federal Programs Support Private K-12 Students and Teachers, from the Education Policy Center at the Independence Institute examines various services and funding available to private schools through the federal government. In this paper Senior Fellow Ross Izard finds that despite the widely held misconception that private schools are barred from all forms of taxpayer-funded support, the federal government has long recognized the need to support nonpublic school students and staff nationwide. Federal law requires that these schools have access to federally funded “equitable services” through their local school districts. This paper outlines the various services and funding available to private schools and provides real Colorado examples of how private schools participate in federal programs.

1099 Contract - How much do you save for taxes?
My online research has seemed to suggest at least 17% should be put away for taxes. For those with experience as full-time 1099 contractors, does that number seem reasonable? I've also read that many expenses can be written off, thus lowering one's tax liability. To what degree can that help? Thanks.

One of the basic rules to consider when doing food and wine pairing is to do a regional pair. French wine with French food (you can even go so far as to recommend wines from Burgundy with their food), American wine with American food, and so on.
I’ve been missing Chile for a while now, and I decided to prepare a pseudo-Chilean fare for a dinner with a friend.
OK, so the food didn’t go with the guest (Oli is French)… But to be fair, she has spent some time in South America, so I thought the food would still be interesting to her.
I prepared some jalapeños with feta cheese (an appetiser I learned from my hosts in Uva Dulce), grilled salmon with merkén (a recipe I learned from the funny gentleman who drove me to the airport), some quinoa, and a first attempt at gumbo (ok that one’s American, but we saw The Princess and The Frog over the weekend and I was hankering for some New Orleans food).
Since most of the food was (almost) Chilean, I decided to pair it with a Terrapura Carmenere (click here for a closer look at the grape).
After getting a tip from a chef friend on how to make roux, Schrumpf decided to startle me, making me nearly screw up the gumbo by dropping an unnecessarily large amount of flour (thank goodness the broth saved the day). After momentarily (roughly an hour) having a panic attack because it coagulated, got rescued, then took FOREVER to turn brown, I ended up making a pretty decent (and Chileanized with merkén) gumbo.
The salmon turned out fine (phew), and the jalapeños pleasantly surprised both Chad and Oli.
I would normally pair a predominantly seafood menu with white wine (not to mention something needed to compliment all the spice), but the Carmenere pairing went well. The cherry-strawberry notes cloaked by a subtle touch of black peppers went nice with the food… Made me think of all my adventures in Chile, which we discussed over dinner, along with Oli’s stay in Colombia.
Makes me think of what regional pairing to do next… Salud!

State payments on retirement debt freed up $670 million that is helping fund many of Whitmer’s education initiatives.
The report cites key health indicators for parents and children, as well as policy changes. But the state still lags the national average in some areas.
Providers said Michigan’s economy can’t recover from the pandemic if the state’s system for providing care for children while their parents are at work isn’t healthy.
A return to pre-pandemic funding policy led some providers to shutter newly opened GSRP classrooms, complicating Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s plans.
Teachers like Gipson — experienced, committed to working with 4-year-olds, and bilingual to boot — are in short supply in Michigan preschools.
Early educators will be watching closely for details in Whitmer’s preschool proposal in a budget presentation next week.
State funded preschool program struggles to compete for workers as private-sector wages rise
Duggan administration shelves a planned $6 million investment in child care infrastructure for other priorities
A new initiative pairs prospective child care providers with a staffer from the state licensing agency who helps with paperwork and inspections.
New funding helps with pay, but providers worry that it won’t last
Here are eight ideas parents, providers, and lawmakers have for improving Michigan’s child care system
The scramble for Montessori seats is in some senses a welcome sign for the Detroit Public Schools Community District
The package contains minor procedural fixes and major changes in how the state supports small, home-based providers.
Even as Michigan’s state revenues reach record highs, officials appear poised to let the program expire.
Skeptics worry Duggan’s plan could add complexity to an already confusing system
The state plans to invest in child care buildings, educator training, and startup grants.
Staff shortages are overwhelming the system. One center has 258 families on a waiting list.
Michigan has a financial cushion thanks to federal stimulus funds and stronger-than-expected state revenues. But education spending is a sticking point.
A tight pandemic labor market only adds to profound, long-running problems with turnover and hiring in Michigan’s child care sector.


The radio-channel communication quality monitoring system is an integral part of organizing the operation of queuing systems. A discrete scale of the CQI index is used to describe the quality. This index is firmly connected to the signal-to-noise level observed in channels. The McWiLL system uses a CQI scale extended in comparison to that used in other mobile communication systems because such a scale is required to support the control of the spectrum expansion index defined by the Loading Factor parameter. The adaptive tracking of subscribers by the antenna pattern beams allowed for a considerable increase the quality of subscribers’ location determination and of the direction and the speed of their movement. These characteristics are used in the McWiLL system to predict overloads at local areas of subscribers’ concentration which can be avoided at the level of the subsystem of an adaptive repeaters’ reconnection and by correcting the coverage areas of service channels through antenna system. The McWiLL system monitors also the angular approach of individual subscribers and, if necessary, turns on or off the radio resource re-distribution mode so that conflicts can be avoided in the conditions when the spatial selection becomes impossible. The operation results showed that with this control organization the efficiency of radio channel resource usage can be increased by a factor of 2…2.5 compared to the stationary three-sector site structure employed in the networks of 2G-4G generations.

Attraction filed in Abu Dhabi courtroom to approve reconciliation, payment of blood cash
Mohammad Riaz and SP Singh. PHOTO COURTESY: BBC URDU
A Pakistani man, whose son was killed in Abu Dhabi in 2015, has pardoned the murderers – all Indians – who’re dealing with dying sentence.
A courtroom within the United Arab Emirates has permitted [the request] to pay the blood cash, BBC Urdu reported on Sunday.
The murderers, who got here to work in Abu Dhabi from Indian Punjab, have been convicted in October final yr for killing a Pakistani youth, Muhammad Farhan, following an altercation. Underneath the Sharia regulation, which is in vogue within the UAE, an attraction towards the dying penalty could be filed within the courtroom if the sufferer’s household and the convict reconcile, and the household pardons him.
‘Blood money’ explained
Mohammad Riaz, who belongs to Peshawar, in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa, has determined to pardon the killers of his son. Though the courtroom has to rule on the pardon, the attraction has given the convicts a brand new ray of hope, and a risk to stroll free.

Hello, I have a question for the die hard Ruger fanatics. I have a few Ruger m77’s. One in TwentyFive-AughtSix, one in TwoSeventy and another in Thirty-AughtSix. Now, my TwentyFive-AughtSix has a factory heavy barrel that is 24” long with no iron sights. My TwoSeventy and Thirty-AughtSix have 20”-22” not so heavy barrels... I’m looking for a m77 in Thirty-AughtSix with the same 24” factory heavy barrel, tang safety, wood stock and original red recoil pad. It has proved to be harder than I thought. Has anyone out there seen one or does anyone have one? Do they even exist!?!?!?! Please send me a message!! Thanks.
