This happened in my city!!


Investigators with the Irving Police Department confirmed they were investigating a robbery home invasion reported at about 3:30 a.m. Sunday where several people reportedly forced their way inside a home after breaking a window with a rock.

Police said a grandmother and her three grandchildren ages 13 to 17 were inside the home at the time and that one of the teens reported being shocked with a stun gun while another was pistol-whipped in the head, requiring several stitches.

The grandmother, who was also pistol-whipped in the head, suffered several broken ribs and said the robbers were heavily armed and demanded money.

The family said the intruders forced everyone into the master bedroom where they said the grandmother was kicked in the face and body.

Automakers' push to remove AM radio in new cars gets pushback from Capitol Hill

Manufacturers such as BMW, Mazda, Tesla, and Volkswagen are taking AM radio out of new electric vehicles over concerns their engines will interfere with how AM stations sound, according to The Washington Post.

Major U.S. automaker Ford is eliminating AM radio from nearly all of its new vehicles – gas and electric – citing data showing less than 5% of in-car listening is from those stations.

The proposed transition is already facing opposition from a big-time lobby group, Capitol Hill, and beyond.

Project Plowshare was the overall United States program for the development of techniques to use nuclear explosives for peaceful construction purposes. The program was organized in June 1957 as part of the worldwide Atoms for Peace efforts. As part of the program, 35 nuclear warheads were detonated in 27 separate tests. A similar program was carried out in the Soviet Union under the name Nuclear Explosions for the National Economy.

Successful demonstrations of non-combat uses for nuclear explosives include rock blasting, stimulation of tight gas, chemical element manufacture, unlocking some of the mysteries of the R-process of stellar nucleosynthesis and probing the composition of the Earth's deep crust, creating reflection seismology vibroseis data which has helped geologists and follow-on mining company prospecting.

William Powell Lear (June 26, 1902 – May 14, 1978) was an American inventor and businessman. He is best known for founding Learjet, a manufacturer of business jets. He also invented the battery eliminator for the B battery, and developed the car radio and the 8-track cartridge, an audio tape system.[1] Throughout his career of 46 years, Lear received over 140 patents.[2]

Bill Lear worked with his friend Elmer Wavering to build the first car radio.[4] Lear partnered with Howard Gates of Zenith; Lear designed the circuit and layout, Gates did the metal work, and Lear completed the assembly. Galvin initially dismissed the prototype, but later ordered a 200-unit production run. Galvin and Lear mulled over names for the product on a cross-country trip and came up with "Motorola", which was a portmanteau of "motor" and the then popular suffix "-ola" used with audio equipment of the time (for example "Victrola"). The product was such a success that Galvin changed the name of his entire company to Motorola.[1][3]: 23, 24
