"Tea Ceremony room "key to study of Japan
The Japanese Section of the Department of Modern Language on 25 September marked the completion of work on the Japanese Tea Ceremony Room in a practical Way-by demonstrating the tea ceremony and its roll in Japanese culture.
Mrs Roslyn McVittie, a member of the Sydney Chapter of the Urasenke Tea Ceremony School, told the guests that the traditional ceremony provided people with a wonderful insight into Japanese culture and the Japanese Section was fortunate to have a room where students could learn about ‘the tea’.
Explaining how the room was provided, Associate Professor K. Ono, Head of the Japanese Section, recalled the visit paid by Mrs Yoko Nishimura, from Ube City, in 1982. ‘The Visiting Fellow’s role was to teach students and citizens various forms of traditional Japanese culture such as tea ceremony, flower arrangement, calligraphy and koto music,’ he said.
In conjunction with Mrs Nishimura’s visit, Professor Ono said, the Japanese Section was presented with 750 items of public donations worth $7,000 by the citizens of Ube. They comprise of tea ceremony sets, such as bowls, kettles and whisks; flower arrangement sets, such as vases and needle holders, calligraphy sets, such as brushes, inkstones, inksticks and paper and two kotos (Japanese horizontal harps) and eight tatami mats.
“The utensils have been in constant use by the staff and students of the Japanese Section.
The tools to be used in today’s demonstrations are part of the public donations’
Professor Ono thanked the Property Division for designing the tea ceremony room before Mrs McVittie and two assistants from the Urasenke Tea Ceremony School, and three practitioners from the section, demonstrated the ceremony."

GOES satellites have various sensors to aquire images. One of them is used to determine the amount of water vapor in the atmosphere. What is easily visible in this water vapor image is a streak leading into hurricane Wilma's eye. That could be a good sign. The more imperfect the eye is the weaker the storm will be. If the hurricane is having a hard time maintaining the integrity of the eye, it will not become as strong (cross your fingers).
After several months, my local repair shop gave up to repair my first exemplary of Leningrad camera. I got that GOMZ Leningrad for less than the price of the lens (50€) a year ago (February 24, 2024, flic.kr/s/aHBqjBftyP) at the monthly collector meeting in Saint-Bonnet-de-Mure, near Lyon, France. I looked then again for a working one.
Leningrad’s are fascinating Russian range-finder 35mm camera’s produced in Leningrad (USSR) / Saint-Petersburg, from 1956 to 1968 at about 76.000 units. It is not really a rare camera but appears only from time-to-time in the classical collector’s networks.
The Leningrad camera project was developed by GOMZ company (ГОМЗ, Государственный оптико-механический завод, Ленинград = Gosularstvennyi Optiko-Mekhanicheskii Zavod =State Optical-Mechanical Factory), Leningrad, USSR. The Leningrad ’s were constructed to a very high degree of precision and likely the most advanced rangefinder ever made at that time in Russia. At the 1958 World Exposition in Brussels, the Leningrad was awarded the "Grand Prix de Bruxelles”. Modified Leningrads were also used in the Soviet space program. In addition to a complex parallax-compensated multi-focal (for 3.5, 5, 8.5 and 13.5cm) collimated system, the camera has a built-in spring-powered mechanical motor for an automated film advance after each view taken. The Leningrad monts the 39mm Leica-type thread lenses, especially of the Jupiter series of lens derived of classical Carl Zeiss lenses designed for the Contax (Biogon 3.5cm and Sonnar’s 5, 8.5 and 13.5cm).
In 1965, GOMZ became LOMO ( ЛОМО, Ленинградское oптико-механическое oбъединение (Leningradskoïe Optiko-Mekhanitcheskoïe Obiedinienie) that is still existing, producing instrumental optical devices (www.lomo.ru).
On eBay, I focused on a LOMO Leningrad year 1965 in working condition but without the original film plate. I got the camera for 130€ including the leather bag and a standard lens Jupiter-8 1:2 f=5cm. The seller adapted cleanly a different film plate that looked to work, but my idea was to use the camera back of my faulty Leningrad. This film plate may a precision glass plate special designed for optimum film transport and optical planarity. I received my new Leningrad on January 31, 2025 in good condition.
After a very careful inspection and a detailled cleaning, I decided to make a test film using a FOMAPAN 200 black-and-white film. On the Leningrad it is said that there is absolutely no way to check the correct film advance during the shooting session. The rewind should not be up since the mechanical forces induced would be too high for the spring-powered spooling barrel. The film should be also in a quality not too tight film cartridge and should be checked before use. This stressful machine should be manipulated with maximum care when not familiar with it.
For all the frames, the Jupiter lens was fitted with a Hoya HMC anti-UV filter (40.5mm). The light metering was done for 160 ISO using my external light meter Minolta Autometer III with the 10° viewer for selective metering privileging the shadows areas or the integrating opale dome for incident light metering. The weather was a bit cold (4°C) covered leading to very flat and low-contrast scene outdoor.

By safety (I don’t what’s happening when the end-of-film blocks the advance), I stopped the session at the frame 35. What is more, for each new views, the Leningrad barrel spool does a fixed half turn. This induces a growing interspace gap as the film advances. Finally, the film was rewound normally and processed using 350 mL of Adox Adonal (Agfa Rodinal) developer prepared at the dilution 1+25 for 5min30 at 20°C.
Digitizing was made using a Sony A7 camera (ILCE-7, 24MP) fitted to a Minolta Auto Bellows III with the Minolta slide duplication accessory and Minolta Macro Bellow lens 1:3.5 f=50mm. The light source was a LED panel CineStill Cine-lite.
The RAW files obtained were inverted within the latest version available of Adobe Lightroom Classic (version 14.1.1) and edited to the final jpeg pictures without intermediate file. They are presented either as printer files with a frame or the full size JPEG's together with some documentary smartphone color pictures.
Fermilab Antiproton Source
The antiproton is the antiparticle of the proton. Antiprotons are stable, but they are typically short-lived since any collision with a proton will cause both particles to be annihilated in a burst of energy.
The existence of the antiproton with −1 electric charge, opposite to the +1 electric charge of the proton, was predicted by Paul Dirac in his 1933 Nobel Prize lecture. Dirac received the Nobel Prize for his previous 1928 publication of his Dirac Equation that predicted the existence of positive and negative solutions to the Energy Equation (E = mc^2) of Einstein and the existence of the positron, the antimatter analog to the electron, with positive charge and opposite spin.
The antiproton was experimentally confirmed in 1955 by University of California, Berkeley physicists Emilio Segrè and Owen Chamberlain, for which they were awarded the 1959 Nobel Prize in Physics. An antiproton consists of two up antiquark and one down antiquark (uud). The properties of the antiproton that have been measured all match the corresponding properties of the proton, with the exception that the antiproton has opposite electric charge and magnetic moment than the proton. The question of how matter is different from antimatter remains an open problem, in order to explain how our universe survived the Big Bang and why so little antimatter exists today.

"Newcastle students' quiz victories
The University’s representatives look set for a good year in the University Challenge following two recent victories.
The students defeated a team of teaching staff by a big margin in their final practice match at the union before facing the University of New South Wales at Kensington.
In a nail-bitting finish, Newcastle and UNSW tied on 220 points each at the end of half an hour. Neither team could answer the first tie-breaking question, and another one was called for. Newcastle got in first, to defeat the strong UNSW side.
Without television support this year, University Challenge has become a lunch-time entertainment on several campuses and five Universities – New South Wales, Sydney, Macquarie, Wollongong and Newcastle – have organised their own competition.
Newcastle has an enthusiastic squad, but the pressure of exams forced a number of players to miss the day-long trip to Kensington on October 18. The first-choice team, how was intact.
Last year’s captain, Mr Mark Priest, a second-year Science student, led the team again. Mr Noel Leggatt, who is studying modern languages, also cam from last year’s side, which made the finals of the televised national competition.
They were joined by Mr Stuart Cooper (second year Mathematics and Computing Science) and Mr Keith Joseph (second year Medicine),
In their only practice together before the competition, the students faced a team led by Professor Frank Bates – who was captain of Sheffield University’s team in 1966.
Professor Bates and his colleagues, Associate Professor Colin Keay, Associate Professor Norman Talbot and Professor Ian Plimer, found the students too quick.
Mr Priest said later the practice match had been invaluable.
“The academics knew the answers all right, but we had all had too much practice on the buzzer system. They just couldn’t get in fast enough.
“It gave us a lot confidence for the match at Kensington because it was the first time Noel and I had played with Stuart and Keith.
“New South Wales had three of last year’s four players back again, so they were not only very strong but also experienced in the pressures of sitting on stage in front of a noisy audience and using the buzzers.
“Officially, in this first round, all that counts is how many points you score. “But a tie was such a let-down after such a tense game that both sides felt we should play a tie-breaker to satisfy the audience. We knew we were strong enough to win, and we did it”.
Newcastle’s second and final match in the first round of the competition was at to Wollongong on Friday, October 26. The Professors were generous enough to line up again to provide the team with more practice.
Semi-finals of the competition are being held at Macquarie University, with Sydney the proposed venue for the final."

This sculpture belongs to the early days of the sculptor Josep Reynés, despite that, is considered as one of his best works. Highlights the delicate finesse and sensitivity of the topic "children and flowers." Reflects a very refined taste typical of the era of the late nineteenth century and a clear influcencia of their formation in Paris.

PEN Presents: “Secret Sources" brought together NSA whistleblower Thomas Drake, Jesselyn Radack of ExposeFacts' Whistleblower & Source Protection Program, New York Times reporter James Risen, and moderator Susan Glasser of Politico to debate the impact of the Obama administration’s aggressive pursuit of national security leaks on freedom of expression. The issue has gained unprecedented national attention following the 2013 revelations by former NSA contractor Edward Snowden, who joined the event via Skype following the panel in a conversation with PEN Executive Director Suzanne Nossel on whistleblowing and questions of conscience.
This forum builds off of a new PEN report, Secret Sources: Whistleblowers, National Security, and Free Expression. PEN’s research demonstrates that gaps in existing protections for whistleblowers, failure to adequately address retaliation against them, and the Obama Administration’s use of the Espionage Act against leakers is damaging freedom of expression, press freedom, and access to information in the United States.

Kansas City (abbreviated KC or KCMO) is the largest city in Missouri by population and area. As of the 2020 census, the city had a population of 508,090 in 2020, making it the 36th most-populous city in the United States. It is the most populated municipality and historic core city of the Kansas City metropolitan area, which straddles the Kansas–Missouri state line and has a population of 2,392,035. Most of the city lies within Jackson County, with portions spilling into Clay, Cass, and Platte counties. Kansas City was founded in the 1830s as a port on the Missouri River at its confluence with the Kansas River coming in from the west. On June 1, 1850, the town of Kansas was incorporated; shortly after came the establishment of the Kansas Territory. Confusion between the two ensued, and the name Kansas City was assigned to distinguish them soon after.
Sitting on Missouri's western boundary with Kansas, with Downtown near the confluence of the Kansas and Missouri Rivers, the city encompasses about 319.03 square miles (826.3 km2), making it the 23rd largest city by total area in the United States. It serves as one of the two county seats of Jackson County, along with the major suburb of Independence. Other major suburbs include the Missouri cities of Blue Springs and Lee's Summit and the Kansas cities of Overland Park, Olathe, Lenexa, and Kansas City, Kansas.
The city is composed of several neighborhoods, including the River Market District in the north, the 18th and Vine District in the east, and the Country Club Plaza in the south. Celebrated cultural traditions include Kansas City jazz, theater, which was the center of the Vaudevillian Orpheum circuit in the 1920s, the Chiefs and Royals sports franchises, and famous cuisine based on Kansas City-style barbecue, Kansas City strip steak, and craft breweries.
