A scientist at RHIC's PHENIX experiment, is seen here inside the PHENIX detector itself.

PHENIX is one of the four large detectors that helps physicists analyze the particle collisions at Brookhaven's Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC). PHENIX weighs 4,000 tons and has a dozen detector subsystems. Three large steel magnets produce high magnetic fields to bend charged particles along curved paths.

Inside the PHENIX Detector.

PHENIX is one of the four large detectors that helps physicists analyze the particle collisions at Brookhaven's Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC). PHENIX weighs 4,000 tons and has a dozen detector subsystems. Three large steel magnets produce high magnetic fields to bend charged particles along curved paths.

The PHENIX detector at Brookhaven National Laboratory's Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) records many different particles emerging from RHIC collisions, including photons, electrons, muons, and quark-containing particles called hadrons. Visible is the green central magnet in the interaction region, with the beam pipe in its center. To the right, in an extracted position is the East Carriage with the ring imaging Cherenkov detector (RICH).

This still image from an LBNF/DUNE animation created in January 2016 shows the large DUNE detectors deep underground at the Sanford Underground Research Facility.

There are nearly 5,000 different kinds of ladybugs worldwide and 400 which live in North America.

A female ladybug will lay more than 1000 eggs in her lifetime.

A ladybug beats its wings 85 times a second when it flies.

Aphids are a ladybug's favorite food.

Ladybugs chew from side to side and not up and down like people do.

A gallon jar will hold from 72,000 to 80,000 ladybugs.

Ladybugs make a chemical that smells and tastes terrible so that birds and other predators won't eat them.

If you squeeze a ladybug it will bite you, but the bite won't hurt.

The spots on a ladybug fade as the ladybug gets older.

During hibernation, ladybugs feed on their stored fat.

Ladybugs won't fly if the temperature is below 55 degrees Fahrenheit.

The ladybug is the official state insect of Delaware, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Ohio, and Tennessee.

The male ladybug is usually smaller than the female.

The Asian Lady Beetle can live up to 2-3 years if the conditions are right.

Overview of the timings from the detector. To simulate the ambient light one IR laser is set in continue mode. The signal level on the detector for this simulated light was about 65 ( right side diagram) the ADC has a range of 2.56V, so 65 means .65V or 650 mV. The left side of the diagram show where the second but now pulsed IR laser come in action. This pulsed light goes now to level 105 or 400 mV above the simulated ambient.

On the diagram you see also how long its take to transfert a data string via the SPI bus. This time is 1.83 usec to transfert one 8 bit ADC value. The total cycle time for 2 measurements is 65.35 usec. On the diagram you see also where the laser drive is on and off. The AVR controller runs on the internal clock of 8 MHz.

Frank, a member of our Julio Claudian group was blessed enough to find this silver denarius with Germanicus reverse. I did not want to lose the information so I finally got around to putting into the Juio Claudian pool, Amazing find Frank!!

Here are some details of the find. In fact, this denarius of Caligula is part of a small treasure of 20 denarii, scattered over a small area of semi-arid scrub land, near the ancient roman city of Nemausus (today Nimes). Thanks to the calcarious soil the coins did not suffer corrosion. Besides some broken roman tiles, the area was virgin. It was evidently a site where was located a small country house, modest in all ways and deserted ever since the first century AD. Through the wear of the coins, from republican denarii, gallion types of Marcus Antonius, several Augustus denarii and the common Tiberius denarius with Livia seated, it can easily be concluded that the 20 denarii were hidden or lost at one time, about 38 AD, because the wear of each coin was equivalent with the age as compared with the most recent one (of Caligula). Nothing else was found here, except a small copper Gallic coin, much older, and, since it was in superb condition, using the same wear/age considerations, was lost about a hundred years earlier. Knowing that the salary of a common soldier at that time was about one denarius a day, the amount of denarii found here was quite considerable. The brown margin on top of the reverse is concretion (some people mistakenly thought the coin is subaerate). As the above information is first-hand, I can guarantee the coin is genuine. For sentimental reasons the coin is not for sale, but I’ll be happy to contribute to numismatic science by publication of its image Regards Frank. This was sent to me by Frank where he found this denarius of Caligula. Frank granted portraitsofcaligula.com permission to use. These are Franks comments - Joe Geranio

requesting help to identify which exact scintillator this it - lithium iodide? anybody have a datasheet? thanks. :)

and yeah, it works, it produces a comfortable 8 counts / 10 minutes within the rem ball @ 1300 volts, and is entirely insensitive to beta / gamma.

Quite a bad photo, but I really want to share this curiosity. It appears to be a pedal-electric hybrid bicycle that has been heavily modified into a rider metal detector. It looks like a clever build, with a two-wheeled front end supporting a large detector on a frame that can be raised or lowered. Battery power for the electronics. It has a hand-held metal detector mounted on the back (for more precise work?), a shovel and even a headlight. Is that a satellite dish in front?

The Large Underground Xenon Detector (LUX) is a 350 kg two-phase liquid xenon detector of dark matter particles. Liquid xenon both scintillates and becomes ionized when hit by particles (e.g. photons, neutrons and potentially dark matter). The ratio of scintillation over ionization energy caused by the collision provides a way of identifying the interacting particle. The leading theoretical dark matter candidate, the weakly interacting massive particle (WIMP), could be identified in this way.

Dark matter comprises most of the matter in the universe but its nature has yet to be determined. One of the leading candidates for the non-baryonic dark matter is the WIMP. WIMPs are expected to interact only with nuclei. Most of the events observed in noble liquid detectors such as LUX will be photons which interact predominantly with the electrons, which result in a different ionization signature than that of the WIMP nuclear collisions. This difference allows such detectors to remove much of the background events. [Source: Wikipedia]

You can see somewhat how the rock slide detector switch worked in the way the armature latches on place, and would be released when disturbed. Remember, the switch contacts and electrical guts are gone.

I got a rude awakening this morning on my day off... the smoke alarm went off for 15 minutes straight. I tried taking the batteries out but that didn't work. They finally shut up on their own. Now I can't screw them back into the ceilings, so both of them are dangling by the wires. Oh well.

MEDIA ADVISORY

WildAid, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to Launch National Campaign Against Wildlife Trafficking

The Walking Dead actor Michael Cudlitz joins celebrity ambassadors in new awareness campaign

Public Domain Photo by Tom MacKenzie, USFWS Sep. 7, 2016

Conservation nonprofit WildAidand the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service will launch a high visibility public awareness campaign against illegal wildlife trade in support of the White House National Strategy to Combat Wildlife Trafficking. The campaign will bring unprecedented attention to the issue for U.S. consumers and international travelers about the dangers of wildlife trafficking and ways for them to not support this illegal trade.

When: Wednesday, September 7, 2016 – press conference begins at 10:30 a.m.

Media arrival - - 10 a.m.

Where: The Atrium at Hartsfield-Jackson Airport Atrium: 6000 N Terminal Pkwy., Atlanta, Georgia 30320

How: A select number of media are invited to attend.

Please respond if you plan to attend.

A simultaneous event will occur at Los Angeles International Airport in California.

WildAid, Serviceleadership, and lead ambassador Michael Cudlitz will be available for interviews immediately following the formal remarks. They will be able to provide more information about the partnership, the current state of wildlife trafficking, and the public awareness campaign.

WildAid’s mission is to end the illegal wildlife trade in our lifetime. Envision a world where people no longer buy wildlife products such as shark fin, elephant ivory, and rhino horn. While most wildlife conservation groups focus on protecting animals from poaching, WildAid works to reduce global consumption of wildlife products by persuading consumers and strengthening enforcement. When buying stops, killing can too.

The Service works with others to conserve, protect, and enhance fish, wildlife, plants, and their habitats for the continuing benefit of the American people.

Quick Wildlife Trafficking Facts

●The global illegal wildlife trade is between $10-20 billion per year.

●The United States is among the world’s largest consumers of wildlife products, both legal and illegal..

●In 2015, Service wildlife inspectors inspected more than 180,000 wildlife-related shipments in the United States, with Los Angeles and New York as the main ports of entry.

●33,000 elephants are killed annually for their tusks and it is estimated that less than 400,000 remain in the wild.

●Pangolins hold the unfortunate title of most heavily trafficked mammal in the world, with more than 1 million poached from the wild in the last decade alone.
