Kibbutz Sasa saves the lives of countless American troops with its advanced armor technologies. Ambassador Shapiro saw this first hand on January 30 when he visited the Plasan factory in northern Galilee. The Ambassador saw the full range of products, from reactive armor, to purpose built vehicles, to body armor. Plasan has delivered more than 8,000 armor kits to U.S units on active duty.
Israel is a world leader in armor technology and the Ambassador expressed his gratitude for the dedication to quality expressed at Plasan.
Nestled in the forested hills of northern Israel, Kibbutz Sasa does more than just forge armor, they also forge connections. Their unique theater program called Bereshit l'Shalom brings young people together from all sectors of Israeli society. Jews, Arabs, Druze, or Circassian, all use the art of theater and dance to express the importance of working across society's boundaries to interact with others based on similarities, not differences. This successful program has performed throughout Israel and Europe.
Molecules known as reactive oxygen species (ROS) are produced in the mitochondria, the energy factories of the cells. These molecules can cause oxidative stress in neutrophils, a type of white blood cell. This oxidative stress is enhanced in a type of neutrophil detected in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE or lupus), called the low-density granulocytes (LDGs). Oxidative stress can lead to the abnormal immune response and autoimmunity seen in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE or lupus).
In the image, mitochondrial reactive oxygen species is red (upper left), mitochondrial protein is green (upper right), and DNA is blue (lower left). The lower right panel shows the three images combined, showing significant mitochondrial ROS production in lupus LDGs. This study may lead to the identification of new therapeutic targets for lupus.

The City Road Sign for " Pripyat "
47,000 people evacuated in 3.5 hours , The zone itself had 130,000 people evacuated overall.
I was touched by my time here .
They were told to pack for 3 days then they would return , it never happened.
This city was built in 1970 for the workers of the Nuclear power plants 47,000 people and children lived here , This fairground never ever was used , Glasnost came far to late for the citizens of Pripyat who were finally evacuated 24 hour after the explosion at Reactor 4 , 1200 Buses and 6 trains were used that took 3.5 hours , all to late They were told they would return in Three days , No one ever did return !!!

In the city of Chernobyl there stands a simple memorial to the liquidators who rushed to reactor number four in the immediate aftermath of the explosion. The firefighters who initially responded to the disaster on the morning of April 26, 1986 were unaware that they were entering a radioactive environment, and rushed to the plant without donning protective suits and respirators. While they labored to extinguish the fires, their bodies absorbed lethal doses of radiation, and many of them later died of Acute Radiation Sickness. Overall, some 600,000 workers, including scientists, miners, and Soviet military conscripts, participated in the Chernobyl cleanup efforts. To this day, many of them continue to experience a variety of health problems stemming from their time spent in the zone. The plaque on the monument is inscribed “To those who saved the world.”
My self and Tim spent Four days in the Ukraine , Two days touring Chernobyl & Pripyat , i ask you to watch this Full version video of the disaster and things i never knew about the disaster in 1986 .This video was played to us as we were driven on a bone shaking Bus to the Zone and armed guard security check points. The video is amazing !!!!!
500,000 people worked and many died and still suffer "Chernobyl Syndrome " even now and will for many years to follow . We were limited with the building we could get into so next Tour we will go on a Private tour , it was one amazing experience i hope the images will do it justice ! My part in recording and discovering history when i was 21 i just watched it on TV and thought nothing of it !!!!!
Man's desire for more Power has huge consequences for our Worlds future , the remaining Nuclear reactors on the Chernobyl site stopped producing in 2000 , One was being build in 1986 next to Reactor 4 which exploded it was never completed and stands there now decaying and Two huge cooling towers are 25% complete , the French are building huge " Sarcophaguses to seal every Reactor these will last 100 years , Reactor 4 will require a new one soon as it will only last 30 , on one road in Chernobyl our Geiger counters went crazy and all of the alarms went off , .
When you leave Chernobyl you pass through Two check points that measure every part of you we all got the ALL CLEAR !!! Who knows Governments Lie its a corrupt system !!!
I was usually last on the BUS !!! :-) The walk of shame !!

Got to get back into some semblance of a routine. I want to sleep when I know that I would be better off doing something else - anything else. I recognise this symptom, along with a few others. It's reactive depression creeping up on me. It will cripple me if I let it. Fortunately, learning coping skills, years of therapy (on and off) and some decent drugs has pretty much rid me of this curse.
So, on this rather gloomy morning in Cairns, I decided to get up and start writing. The nice thing about social networking over the web is that you don't have to get dressed to do it. Here is gloomy Cairns this morning:
It was raining a few minutes earlier. The clouds have receded, leaving a very clear atmosphere behind.
Here is another shot using a different panoramic stitching technique:
I can't decide which I like best.
Today, Eunie decided that I needed a trim. If left to me, I would probably never bother to cut my hair. I've always hated the whole haircut thing. To me it is not unlike shaving. I view shaving as an unnatural act. Hey, taking a sharp object and scraping the hair from your body - what is that? It's freaky, man - against nature. When a scene comes on the TV showing someone shaving I have to look away. It spikes up the forest of hair on my arms - makes me shiver. That horrible scraping sound reminds me of fingernails on a blackboard.
Getting a haircut feels pretty much the same to me. I feel for poor Samson in the Bible. He was okay until somebody messed with his hair. I have this ridiculous urge to ask the barber, "Please, be gentle."
Fortunately, we were directed by a kindly pedestrian to the professional centre of Barber Science in Queensland, Andrew's Barber Shop:
Operated by the Father-and-son barber team Andrew and Demitrios Stylianou, this business is all business. If you want to look like you're wearing a $5,000 hairpiece over a billiard ball, try elsewhere. If you want a man's haircut, youve found the right address.
When I arrived, I was looking a mite shaggy - not Cave Man yet, but getting there:
As you can tell, I wasn't exactly relishing the experience.
Then something magical happened. Demitrios laid on his best barber chatter and began bobbing and weaving around like Muhammad Ali floating like a butterfly and stinging like a bee:
Honestly, I have never seen a barber so animated by his profession. They usually stand there like morticians tending to a little trim to tidy up the deceased. Just watching Demitrios' passionate attack on my unruly locks was worth the very modest price.
First time I can ever remember enjoying a haircut. Andrew and Demitrios Stylianou, Live Long and Prosper!
Eunie is yellow and will remain that way until we get the problem sorted. I have to admit that I'm jealous of the super fine dope she is getting. I remember years ago when I had a particularly horrible surgery which is widely considered just about as painful as it gets. I'll spare you the description. They were giving us what we patients called "happy pills". Honestly, I did not want to leave the hospital. I begged them to let me stay "just a few more weeks". If Eunie is feeling that good now, then I say God Bless the Pills!
We go in the morning to see another doctor who is a friend of a friend and just wants to know what's happening. Then, in the afternoon, we see the anesthesiologist who will put Eunie into dreamland on Thursday while the surgeon has a look. We hope to have a pretty good idea of the problem and the treatment by the end of the week.
I made these shorts from an old pair of Arizona Jean Co. jeans. I added some ruffles and lace to the legs, pocket decor on the back and lots of glittery, glow in the dark, and black light reactive fabric paints!! Available in my shop. View my profile for link. ^_^

The best part about this pendant? Those blue rings glow in the dark! They are also UV reactive, so they glow under a black light. The way the non-glowing metal rings are positioned make it look just like a glowing snowflake, IMO. Handmade by me!
"NON HUMAN DEVICE #001" is an audiovisual installation based on Boris Chimp 504's audiovisual live performances.
During a recent exploration to Kepler22b, an exoplanet from the Kepler-16 binary star system, Boris Chimp 504 found some metallic objects on its surface. Though the origin of this object is totally unknown, it's probably a piece of technology from an extraterrestrial civilization. Boris has sent this object in an hyperspace capsule to the Vladivostok Space Center, on Earth.
It is believed that it's a part of a machine, a mechanism or a device of some kind. Recent investigations on the object lead to believe that it is an interface to control the position and orientation in space and time of something bigger, a spaceship maybe.
The device responds to touch, and generates an electric magnetic field that interferes with audiovisual signals and causes space-time distortions.
In this public installation, the audience had the opportunity to interact with this “Non Human-Machine Device”, and experience the effects that it causes to audiovisual signals and space-time orientation.

The Operation Rutland team - winners of the Chief Constable's Excellence Award for Team of the Year.
Last May, the Wigan Division of Greater Manchester Police launched a reactive investigation team to deal with a spate of organised crime in the area. Detective Chief Inspector Howard Millington, with a small team of officers, launched Operation Rutland to tackle the problem. Their brief was to identify potential offenders for a string of robberies through proactive policing and cold case reviews.
It was clear early on that their prime suspects were from West Leigh. This area was known to have a highly organised crime group who committed business robberies. They had been investigated at force level on numerous occasions but with limited success, so the team combined innovative policing methods with good old fashioned policing in order to disrupt the lives of these criminals as much as possible. All aspects of their private lives were examined. When reviewing their finances, the team saw how these criminals may be disposing of the money from these robberies. This uncovered a team of fraudsters who targeted Bet Fred, the Co-op, Ladbrokes and Spar out of nearly £100,000. This led to some significant custodial sentences for the associates of the organised crime group. These convictions allowed the investigation to focus on five individuals and the evidence quickly mounted against them. Covert surveillance revealed a series of cross-border offences and it was not long before the arrests started. As of March this year, five men have been sentenced to a total of 43 years in prison, and six others are awaiting trial.

Reactive gliosis: at high power, lymphocytes and histiocytes infiltration is evident. The glial cells retain round nuclei and open chromatin (compare it with adjacent darker lymphocytes). This is in contrast with glioma, in which the nuclei become angulated, hyperchromatic and larger in size.

Billion-atom reactive molecular dynamics simulation of nanobubble collapse in water near a ceramic surface under shock compression. A 2km/sec shock wave compresses the nanobubble and creates high compressive stress and novel chemical reactions (production of hydronium ions) not found under normal conditions. The simulations reveal that high pressure in the shock wave deforms the ceramic surface and also accelerates water molecules from the bubble periphery towards the center of the bubble. These high-velocity water molecules bunch up to form a nanojet. The nanojet impact creates damage on the ceramic surface. The simulation results reveal atomistic mechanisms of mechanically induced chemistry, which is the key to understanding the safety-threatening damage in nuclear reactors. The simulations were carried out using 163,840 cores on Intrepid, the Blue Gene/P system, at the Argonne Leadership Computing Facility.

Pool by Fernanda D'Agostino to be exhibited in Night Light: Projected Personae in the Main Gallery. This is a reactive video installation using Max MSP software, meaning that the content changes according to the movement and presence of viewers in proximity of the projection. The film relates to Projected Personae in how it reflects the process of memory and the self. The dancers depicted float through various situations, underwater, through burning objects and since it is reactive, the video content never is the same twice. In this way the video reflects the fragmentation and fractured nature of memory.

Fernanda D'Agostino
From 2011 Bonnie Bronson Fellows 20 Years: Linda Tesner: Lewis and Clark Press
Memory, and the slippery, elusive qualities of remembering, have long been at the heart of Fernanda D'Agostino's work. Prosthesis (2001) in the Bonnie Bronson Fund's permanent collection, is an artifact from her series Theater of Memory. Her video projection, Pool (2011) continues this theme with a gentle invitation to delve into the illusions and interstices of reflection.
Pool consists of dual projections: images on the wall paired with ghostly images filling a wide, shallow bowl on the floor. The work is best viewed by hovering slightly above ground level, and D'Agostino accommodates this by providing a lifeguard-like chair which the viewer can climb and sit in. Upon entering the room, one first sees the artist's daughter, a young woman with closed eyes, caught in a moment of contemplative daydreaming. But from this moment, the five channels of video shift, alter, and re-pair in response to the viewer's presence and movement in the room. The interactive programming mimics the real experience of memory, as it constantly combines and recombines in ever-changing layers and sequences of images—never quite repeated identically—just as episodic memory behaves.
A central image is of the Portland dancer and choreographer, Linda K. Johnson, submerged underwater, looking directly back at the viewer as she contracts, glides, tumbles, and hovers in a watery amnion of blue. Interspersed are images of a full moon; a book that has caught fire; salmon swimming upstream; a burning house; botanical frescoes from the House of Livia in Rome; and the words "Ars Memoriae." All of these have intensely personal meaning for the artist: D'Agostino's own home burned down when she was a child. Memories, D'Agostino would say, are often punctuated or exacerbated by trauma. The book is Ovid's Metamorphoses and "Ars Memoriae" refers to the ancient mnemonic practice of visualizing as an aid to remembering complex sequences—both have been influential throughout the artist's career. Rome references D'Agostino's own familial roots and her fertile explorations while at the American Academy there.
Now you might be thinking that ‘Moonbase Cupid’ sounds like the title of a saucy 70’s film set in space and, weirdly, you’re not far off the truth. In 1983 NASA set up a secret moonbase in order to study the effect of human reproduction in space. After a little time the somewhat inevitable result was Andromeda here. Which proved an important point in itself.
What wasn’t foreseen was that the somewhat precocious young girl would go on to develop rainbow coloured skin and display certain ‘skills’ that would remain largely inexplicable. For now at least. She is currently the only permanent resident on the moon but who knows what the future holds for Andromeda…
Moonbase Cupid is created using the magic of spray paint, acrylics, paint pen, stencils and imagination on A2 paper. She even features some UV reactive stars and a glow in the dark moon. Drop us a line or head to our shop if you need Andromeda on your wall.

Governing Lethal Behavior: Embedding Ethics in a Hybrid Deliberative/Reactive Robot Architecture by Ronald Arkin of Georgia Tech
THis was a truly thought provoking talk. Although the subject is controversial, it should not be ignored.
Technical Session II: Architecture of AGI Systems at the The First Conference on Artificial General Intelligence (AGI-08)
This room is The Zone, at the FedEx Institute of Technology, University of Memphis. It was a very good venue for this conference.
Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) research focuses on the original and ultimate goal of AI -- to create intelligence as a whole, by exploring all available paths, including theoretical and experimental computer science, cognitive science, neuroscience, and innovative interdisciplinary methodologies. AGI is also called Strong AI in the AI community.
Another good reference is Artificial General Intelligence : A Gentle Introduction by Pei Wang
