Webb Telescope: supernova discovery machine!
Webb has identified 10 times more supernovae in the early universe than previously known. Several are the most distant examples of their type, including those used to measure the universe's expansion rate.
As the universe expands, light gets stretched into longer (infrared) wavelengths over time. This is called redshift! Because their light has been traveling such great distances, and for so long, Webb’s powerful and sensitive infrared eye is ideal for observing far-off supernovae.
Before Webb, only a handful of supernovae above a redshift of 2 (corresponding to when the universe was 3.3 billion years old) had been found. Now Webb’s data sample includes dying stars that exploded when the universe was less than 2 billion years old, in its pre-teens. Learn more:

This image: The JADES Deep Field uses observations taken by NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) as part of the JADES (JWST Advanced Deep Extragalactic Survey) program. A team of astronomers studying JADES data identified about 80 objects (circled in green) that changed in brightness over time. Most of these objects, known as transients, are the result of exploding stars or supernovae. Prior to this survey, only a handful of supernovae had been found above a redshift of 2, which corresponds to when the universe was only 3.3 billion years old — just 25% of its current age. The JADES sample contains many supernovae that exploded even further in the past, when the universe was less than 2 billion years old. It includes the farthest one ever spectroscopically confirmed, at a redshift of 3.6. Its progenitor star exploded when the universe was only 1.8 billion years old. |

The French National Committee for UNICEF and several reporters visited us to learn about the situation in Congo and how we were using their resources to benefit children. The visit was led by the committee’s president, the highly committed Jacques Hintzy.
We visited an excellent project in Kpandroma to reintegrate children who had been caught up in the fighting between FNI and UPC. At and around the centre we met with children who were being assisted and who had successfully reintegrated. The children are provided with medical, psychosocial, educational and economic support. As we left the centre a group of girls sung of the suffering they had been through whilst the other boys and girls danced around them.
We also visited Zengo, a group of villages that had been attacked by both UPC and FNI. In Zengo we will shortly start a project to help the returning population to rebuild their health and education services.
Le Comité français pour l'UNICEF, accompagné de plusieurs journalistes, nous a rendu visite pour se renseigner sur la situation au Congo et comment nous utilisons leurs ressources pour bénéficier les enfants. La visite fut dirigé par le président du comité, le fortement motivé Jacques Hintzy.
Nous avons visité un excellent projet dans Kpandroma qui réintègre les enfants qui avaient été impliqués dans les groupes armées. Dans et autour du centre nous avons rencontré des enfants qui étaient actuellement dans le programme et d’autre qui avaient avec réintégré leur communauté avec succès. Les enfants reçoivent un support médical, psychosocial, éducatif et économique. En quittant le centre nous avons vu trois filles qui chantaient de leurs souffrances dans les groupes, tandis que d’autres garçons et filles dansaient autour d’elles.
De suite nous avons visité Zengo, un groupe de villages qui a l’époque avaient subit des attaqués par UPC et FNI. A Zengo nous lancerons sous peu un projet pour aider la population à reconstruire leurs services de santé et d'éducation.

Last Saturday night turned out to be a great night to learn more about Iceland and Del Paso Boulevard. I ate at Lil Joe's with happyshooter.
George, the son of Lil Joe, was quite proud of his 1/2" thick grill, seasoned for more than 50 years, and his homemade ranch dressing.
Then we went out shooting neon and dropping into the art galleries for the Second Saturday Art Walk. After staying up along the northern part of Del Paso Blvd, we walked south to get shots of Iceland. I've photographed it at night before from across the street, but I wanted to get some better shots, so we walked right up to it and took quite a few pictures. Just as I was finished, the owner, Chris Lord, came out and started barking about us taking pictures of the sign without paying for it and saying he was going to turn the sign off. I was defiant and said, "Fine, turn it off."
But he was only joking. He ended up talking to us for a very long time, and telling us far more than I could ever remember and write down. He told about the murder of the owner of the old Agonaut Club, which used to be next door, the raid on a bordello across the street, the Green Olive, in which several city officials were caught, and the history of the American Ice Co. and Iceland.
The American Ice Company opened in 1922. They used to have a garage door on the front to send out ice on trucks, but so many people would come directly to them for ice that they covered over the door and put in 3 vending slots where people could get 50-pound blocks of ice to haul away.
The two neon signs in the photo from the link above were not originally on the building. He says nobody in is quite sure when the sign was added, or when American Ice Co. was expanded. The larger sign used to say in neon, "Cold Alone Is Not Enough." He says nobody knows that that means.
The holes from the neon for that part allowed birds to get inside, and they built nests there. An accumulation of dried up nests caught fire when the sign was on, and burnt out the inside, so it no longer works. Part of the smaller sign works, the part saying "ICE" in red. There is an outer tube that goes around the sign that would be blue if it were functioning. He believes that the colors were originally reversed, and got mixed up on a repair job.
The "ICE" part had not come on yet, so he went to turn it on. Happyshooter asked in amazement, "You mean you can turn it on?!?" as though he had just told us that he could use the sign to see into the future. Then came the highlight of the night. He took us inside the American Ice Company and showed us the compressors, the oldest of which dates from 1896. It was running.
He told us that as long as he and Robert Kerth (one of the family who owns the buildings) have anything to say about it, Iceland, which opened on November 2, 1940, will stay in business. He is retiring in 2 years from his other job, and will have more time to spend on Iceland.
He also told us that the KVIE documentary on the place, _Frozen in Time: Sacramento's Iceland Ice Rink_, was excellent and worth checking out. You can buy it here:

BOSS Dumpling Making at the Senior Home
By Tanya Im
USAG Humphreys Public Affairs
CAMP HUMPHREYS – As part of its outreach program and in celebration of Lunar New Year, the Camp Humphreys Better Opportunity for Single Soldiers and other volunteers worked together to make and share mandoo dumplings with the elderly Feb. 2.
The word mandoo originated from China and is considered a special food, especially for the beginning of the New Year. Eating dumpling soup on Lunar New Year’s Day means “Happy New Year.”
More than 40 members of the Camp Humphreys community took part in and experienced making dumplings and shared it with the residents of the House of Wusula, in Yangseong-myeon, Anseoung-si.
The purpose of this event was to celebrate Lunar New Year with the residents and being a good neighbor in the local community and to give back to the local community by getting involved with Korean culture. Moreover, not only can the Soldiers make lifelong friends, but they also will have a more positive outlook while serving here.
“What better way to give back to the community than for our military personnel to get involved with Korean culture and specifically learning some of these celebrations like Lunar New Year,” said Spc. Kareen K. Medeiros, the Humphreys BOSS President /Area III Coordinator. “And, it is a nice way for the Soldiers to get to know what is around them. They work extremely hard. For them to have downtime to have some fun and something positive, this is a wonderful thing for us to get involved in the program like this.”
During the volunteering, the participants experienced a variety of Korean traditions for the first time. They played a Korean New Year’s game called Yutnori, which is a kind of Korean board game. They also sang together the Korean folk song, “Arirang” and a Korean New Year’s song, “Seolnal.”
Some also had the opportunity to wear traditional Korean clothing, called Hanbok, which can prove to be difficult to wear without help from someone with experience. While wearing the clothing, participants learned New Year’s greetings and performed a New Year’s bow to the elderly.
Overall, the highlight of the volunteer trip was dumpling making. Everyone gathered around the tables and started making dumplings in accordance with an interpreters’ explanation.
“I really enjoyed myself,” said Pfc. Ryan R. Resendez, assigned to Bravo Company, 602nd Aviation Support Battalion . “I was glad to make the elderly smile and meet new people. It was great day. If I have another chance, I’d definitely like to come again.”

CAMP HUMPHREYS — The United States Army Garrison Humphreys Morale Welfare and Recreation sports division hosted its annual triathlon here June 23.
Daniel Bates won the men’s event, followed by Timothy Simmons and Zak Kuiper.
“It’s my first time winning, actually. It’s pretty cool,” Bates said. Even though his goggles broke during the swim, he still said swimming was probably his favorite part of the event. “The pool was amazing,” he said.
The triathlon comprised three portions: a swim in the Splish & Splash Water Park pool, a 20-kilometer bicycle ride, and a five-kilometer run.
Rebecca Corbin won the women’s triathlon, followed by Sara Rainville and Rebekah Bell. Brian Joseph won the men’s 33 and over division. J.B. Gomez finished as runner-up, while Dave Elger claimed third place. Wendy Tokach won the women’s 33 and over title, followed by Danielle Laatsch and Melissa Shafer.
Colonel Joseph P. Moore, United States Army Garrison Humphreys commander, presented trophies and medals to the winners.
Lonnie Herring, USAG Humphreys sports director, said the event means different challenges for different people. Some want to finish in the top 10, some are looking for a personal best, and others are just looking to finish.
Jimmy Sheehan, who competed in his first triathlon, said, “I liked it. I’m going to do more in the future” He added his highlight of the day was “finishing.”
Picture taken in Nerja, Malaga, Spain. I did see it few days, when I did not have the camera with me. Finally could do few shots, and this is the one which i the most liked.
It is simple, and represents exactly what it supposes to show. Maybe a bit more of sea would have completed better, the rule of the thirds.
