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.

Abe BIRNBAUM •
* 18 November 1898 in New York City, NY.
✝︎ 19 June 1966 in Lenox Hospital, New York.
The New Yorker — November 18, 1951.
Issue 1918 — Volume 37 — Number 40.
About BIRNBAUM ↓
Abe Birnbaum painted nearly 200 covers for The New Yorker magazine.
Mr. Birnbaum's last New Yorker cover appeared on the issue of May 28. In the bold and simple lines that were the stamp of his style, he drew two white sails on blue-green water under a broad blue sky.
Mr. Birnbaum represented people and objects in their most uncomplicated terms. A Lincoln Day cover several years ago showed only the hint of a stovepipe hat and some red, white, and blue bunting.
He contributed more portraits and drawings to the magazine's Profile and Reporter at Large sections than any other artist. His portraits, done in pen and ink and brush, reduced the face in one or two lines to what it was supposed to be a profile.
▪️Versatile Illustrator
Mr. Birnbaum did portraits of Henry Moore, the sculptor, and Abe H. Feder, a theatrical lighting man. In addition, he drew hockey players, hurricanes and illustrations for articles on television, smoking and cricket.
The magazine also used thousands of Mr. Birnbaum's spot drawings on inside pages that punctuated and indented columns of type. For one long story on burglary, he drew a keyhole that was described as "the most intensely keyhole keyhole there has ever been."
Mr. Birnbaum was an exacting craftsman. In the studio of his home in Croton, N.Y. surrounded by most of his 15 cats, he would draw an object such as a chair 200 times or more to get it right.
"Nothing is ugly," he said often. "Everything is what it is."
Mr. Birnbaum also drew illustrations for Harper's Bazaar, Vogue and The New York Times Sunday drama section. He had illustrated several books, including "Green Eyes,” which a jury picked as the best-illustrated children's book of 1953. The most recent book he illustrated is another juvenile title, “Did a Bear Just Walk There,” by Ann Rand.
▪️ At Art Students League
Born in Manhattan, Mr. Birnbaum studied at the Art Students League under Boardman Robinson and Kenneth Hayes Miller.
Mr. Birnbaum had held exhibitions at the Carnegie Institute and the Philadelphia Museum of Art.

Hong Kong Transport - Taxis
The Hong Kong Taxi Culture
There are 18,163 Taxis (Red, Green & Blue) registered in Hong Kong (Source - The Transport Department, Hong Kong Government) and the industry is very heavily regulated.
☛ 15,250 Red Taxis or Urban Taxis
☛ 2,838 Green Taxis or New Territories Taxis
☛ 75 Blue Taxis or Lantau Taxis
Payment for a ride is still mainly in CASH in HK$, cashless payment ie credit cards, debit cards and Octopus cards, phone apps and such are finally being accepted for Taxi payment.
Approximately 72% of Taxis are licenced for 4 passengers and 28% are licenced for 5 passengers and within a few years 5 passenger Taxis will be probably be phased out, Hong Kong people love Uber as many of the cars are what we call the 7 seaters, big and quite luxurious Toyota‛s and Nissan‛s that comfortably hold 6 passengers ideal for groups and families | for the record Uber currently operates illegally in Hong Kong since 2014 and have tacit approval from the Government.
A major review and overhaul of the Taxi Industry is currently in progress which may see Uber becoming legal as well as other ride hailing services.
The current cost of a Red (Urban) Taxi Licence fluctuates between HK$3,500,000 | US$449,000 and HK$4,500,000 | US$577,000 with an average of roughly HK$4,100,000 | US$526,000 over a 12 month period. This figure can fluctuate as people speculate on these! At one stage not too long ago the price hit HK$7,020,000 or US$900,000 and then Uber arrived in Hong Kong. Do the math US$615,000 x 18,163 licences - you can understand why the owners of Taxis do not want any competition from the likes of Uber and other ride hailing companies.
Current Taxis are mainly Toyota, Nissan or Ford, mainly LPG or Hybrids, full EV vehicles are now being introduced again and are gaining in popularity.

De de-minimis problematiek op Wikimedia Commons
Op 6 juni 2010, zo'n twaalf jaar geleden, heeft de Amsterdamse freelance webontwerper Branko Collin een foto gedeeld van een stand met stripboeken op de Haarlemse Stripdagen. In die stand waren ook enkele posters opgehangen, er was nog een stapeltje stripboeken uitgestald, en zelfs een prent.
In Nederland mag je zo'n foto maken en ook delen op basis van het citaatrecht in een "aankondiging, beoordeling, polemiek of wetenschappelijke verhandeling of voor een uiting met een vergelijkbaar doel." Op de fotostream van Collin zelf valt terug te vinden, dat deze foto deel uitmaakt van een serie van zo'n 20 foto's; een documentaire zogezegd. Op de website van 24oranges.nl had hij hierover ook een blog geschreven. [1]
Aan de voorwaarden van het citaatrecht is in de blog zeker voldaan. Bij de fotostream zelf weet ik het niet. Zelf tracht ik dat tegenwoordig te voorkomen, maar ik loop helaas zelf wat achter de feiten aan. Indien ik zelf zo'n foto opneem, heeft dat veelal een reden, en die probeer ik daarbij dan ook vroeg of laat te vermelden. M'n Flickr Photostream is zodoende hier en daar een blog geworden.
Terug naar de foto's van de Haarlemse stripdagen. Deze serie van 20 foto's heb ik een tijdje terug overgenomen op Wikimedia Commons met de intentie deze toe te voegen aan de blijvende overlevering aldaar. Dat gaat een hele tijd goed tot je als donderslag bij heldere hemel geconfronteerd wordt met een copyrightschending aanklacht. De argumentatie daarbij was ook nog eens, dat de nominator eigenlijk niet wist of dat wel kan.
Zo'n nominatie blijft een soort doldwaze toestand, want ze hebben daar geen intern loket om advies te vragen. Er wordt geen voorbespreking gehouden of een advies ingewonnen. Gewoon knal... je beschuldigd iemand van copyrightschending, terwijl je helemaal niet weet of dat nu wel of niet het geval is, en dan mag die ander het maar uitzoeken. Zowel de nominator als de beklaagde zijn niet te benijden.
Ieder die dit een keer heeft meegemaakt heeft, laat dat zich geen tweede keer gebeuren. De foto's die je daarvoor hebt gedeeld onder een CC licentie, dat doe je niet meer. Zo is een initiatief als Wikipedia er debit aan, dat CC bereidwilligen zich terugtrekken. Deze ontwikkeling is al jaren gaande en zou voor Wikipedia zelf verontrustend moet zijn.
De hele ironie van de situatie is, dat ik het zelf met bijna 18 jaar ervaring ook nog steeds niet exact weet. Het is namelijk een hele ondoorgrondelijke problematiek. In Nederland zelf is het duidelijk, dat zoiets op basis van het citaatrecht wel mag in een aankondiging of beoordeling of vergelijkbaar. Zo'n overlevering valt in dat rijtje, dus dan zou het goed moeten zijn.
Maar nu is het geval, dat enkelen aldaar willen, dat die foto's ook voor commercieel hergebruik beschikbaar staat. En omdat dat dus niet mag volgens het citaatrecht, is het ineens mogelijk een copyrightschending. Een sjabloon toevoegen aldaar, dat dat niet de bedoeling is... daarin wordt niet voorzien. Dat is uit den boze.
Als je op Wikipedia en Wikimedia Commons actief wil blijven moet je het maar voor lief nemen, dat je ieder keer zo'n blikseminslag voor je kiezen krijgt. Na al die jaren ben ik daar nog steeds niet aan gewend. Menige avond zou ik het liefst de handdoek in de ring gooien, maar de volgende dag bedenk je toch weer dat het toch ergens goed voor is.
De hele rechtsgang is hier omgedraaid. Je bent schuldig totdat je ieder hebt overtuigd van je onschuld. Van deelnemers wordt er expliciet verwacht dat je zorgvuldig te werk gaat, en het benodigde vooronderzoek doet voor je werk upload. In dit geval bestond mijn vooronderzoek eruit dat je kijkt naar of het werk rechtmatig is gepubliceerd. In dit geval was er een vrijgave op Flickr en de publicatie op 24.oranges.
Je mag daar toch verwachten, dat de mensen in de stripwereld dit vroeg of laat ook meekrijgen. Een verantwoordelijkheid van elke uitgever is om dat wat in de gaten te houden. Dit hoeft niet eens bij de bron. Het kan ook zo zijn dat een commerciële partij er daadwerkelijk mee aan de slag gaat. Dan kunnen ze daar de commerciële partij op aanspreken en het alsnog herleiden naar de bron, en aangegeven dat dat niet de bedoeling is.
Dat is de normale rechtsgang, die in het belang van het dienen de commerciële partij ook weer is omgedraaid... waar wederom in het belang van de commerciële partij geen voorzieningen worden getroffen. Het is om doldwaas van te worden. De voorzieningen zijn er aldaar om het tijdelijk te blurren, en na zo veel tijd toch weer te laten zien. De hele copyrightaanklacht kan er dus zo vervangen worden door een blur-verzoek... maar zover zijn ze daar nog steeds niet.

HD and The Habibie Center (THC) brought local stakeholders and interfaith actors from both sides of the divide together in a neutral setting for them to discuss the communities’ issues.
HD and THC organized capacity building workshops on dialogue, mediation and peacemaking. These workshops were tailored to the local context and targeted at relevant interfaith actors or institutions. They included trainings on practical skills such as mediation approaches and what works for different contexts; explored confidence building measures; and communication skills in a conflict setting.

Budapest is the capital and most populous city of Hungary. It is the tenth-largest city in the European Union by population within city limits and the second-largest city on the river Danube. The estimated population of the city in 2025 is 1,782,240. This includes the city's population and surrounding suburban areas, over a land area of about 525 square kilometres (203 square miles). Budapest, which is both a city and municipality, forms the centre of the Budapest metropolitan area, which has an area of 7,626 square kilometres (2,944 square miles) and a population of 3,019,479. It is a primate city, constituting 33% of the population of Hungary.
The history of Budapest began when an early Celtic settlement transformed into the Roman town of Aquincum, the capital of Lower Pannonia. The Hungarians arrived in the territory in the late 9th century, but the area was pillaged by the Mongols in 1241–42. Re-established Buda became one of the centres of Renaissance humanist culture by the 15th century. The Battle of Mohács, in 1526, was followed by nearly 150 years of Ottoman rule. After the reconquest of Buda in 1686, the region entered a new age of prosperity, with Pest-Buda becoming a global city after the unification of Buda, Óbuda and Pest on 17 November 1873, with the name 'Budapest' given to the new capital. Budapest also became the co-capital of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, a great power that dissolved in 1918, following World War I. The city was the focal point of the Hungarian Revolution of 1848 and the Battle of Budapest in 1945, as well as the Hungarian Revolution of 1956.
Budapest is a global city with strengths in commerce, finance, media, art, fashion, research, technology, education, and entertainment. Budapest is Hungary's financial centre. Budapest hosts the headquarters of the European Institute of Innovation and Technology, the European Police College and the first foreign office of the China Investment Promotion Agency. Over 40 colleges and universities are located in Budapest, including Eötvös Loránd University, Corvinus University, Semmelweis University, University of Veterinary Medicine Budapest and the Budapest University of Technology and Economics. Opened in 1896, the city's subway system, the Budapest Metro, serves 1.27 million, while the Budapest Tram Network serves 1.08 million passengers daily.
The central area of Budapest along the Danube is classified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and has several notable monuments of classical architecture, including the Hungarian Parliament and the Buda Castle. The city also has around 80 geothermal springs, the largest thermal water cave system, second largest synagogue, and third largest Parliament building in the world. Budapest attracts around 12 million international tourists per year, making it a highly popular destination in Europe.
