My doctor's have been pissing about for ages - I never get to see the same person, they hardly look at my records. The one I saw most recently asked whether I thought I had a 'stomach bug'. A stomach bug lasting 5 months? No. He's sending me for an MRI scan, just to check that they is 'nothing scary' (his words, not mine) that's causing my head aches and pain. He also said that they'll test me for glandular fever when they do my next blood tests. I'm just so tired and frustrated with this. I know that I am ill, but I feel as if the doctor's don't believe me - they keep asking me if I drink, as if I have a hangover. I haven't drunk properly since I was put on SSRI's around April. They want to put all my pain and illness down to me being a student, and are treating it as such. It's so patronising. Yes, I am a student, yes I am young. But I'm also ill. I'm not staying up until 5 am each morning, drinking alcohol continuously like they think. I may only be 19, but I'm still a human being, and I have every right to be treated like one. I feel if I were older, they'd treat this so much more seriously.
As it is, I'm not living like a young person. I've hardly been to Uni at all since October, which is worrying me as I don't want to be kicked off my course, but I spend most of my time in bed, or on the sofa, too ill to even shower.
I can't stress how frustrated this makes me. Even now, when they finally seem to be testing me for what's wrong - they seem to only be doing it to humour me. Why is it so hard to get people to take you seriously?
But anyway, MRI scan. That should be interesting. And scary.

The Cray-1 was a supercomputer designed by a team including Seymour Cray for Cray Research. The first Cray-1 system was installed at Los Alamos National Laboratory in 1976, and it went on to become one of the best known and most successful supercomputers in history.
The Front end of the PDP-11/70 from Digital. Terminals like this were the birthplace of most of the technology that powers todays world, from Embedded Systems to the Web. I think that to this day this is just a beatiful piece of design and truly gorgeous to look at. Great design endures, long after the functionality subsides it seems

CDC 7600 at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, c. 1971
CDC 7600 (serial number 1), Control Data Corporation, 1971
Memory: 512K (60-bit) Core
Speed: 36 MFLOPS
Cost: $5,000,000
“The CDC7600 was the follow on to the 6600, designed by Seymour Cray. About five times faster than the CDC 6600, scientific and government institutions primarily used both machines to execute large mathematical programs written in FORTRAN. Scientists at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory used this machine to design nuclear weapons and, like most CDC customers, wrote much of their own software. A very large machine, the 7600 had over 120 miles of hand-wired interconnections. It was Freon cooled.”

The Z32 was designed by Isao Sono and Toshio Yamashita, approved in final form by Nissan management on October 1, 1986. The body was wider with a rounder profile and fewer hard edges. It had a marginally increased coefficient of drag of 0.31 compared to the Z31's 0.30. Nissan utilized the Cray-2 supercomputer to design the new Z32 with a form of CAD software making it one of the first production cars to utilize this tool.
Like previous generations, Nissan offered a 4-seater (2+2) model with the Z32. All Z32s initially featured T-tops as standard. A hardtop model was available in North America, only in non-turbo models, and in Japan was available along with an extremely rare Twin Turbo model (Japan-only).
The 2,960 cc (3.0 L) VG30DE V6 engine was carried over from the previous generation 300ZX (Z31), but fitted with a DOHC head and variable valve timing (N-VCT), producing 222 bhp (225 PS; 166 kW) at 6,400 rpm and 198 lb⋅ft (268 N⋅m) at 4,800 rpm in naturally aspirated (NA) form.
The high output engine (VG30DETT) was upgraded with Garrett AiResearch parallel twin-turbochargers and dual intercoolers, producing 300 bhp (304 PS; 224 kW) at 6,400 rpm and 283 lb⋅ft (384 N⋅m) of torque at 3,600 rpm. Benefiting from Project 901, the Z32 was the first car to be marketed following the introduction of the 280 PS (206 kW) power ceiling imposed by JAMA that remained until 2004
The engine was detuned to 280 bhp (209 kW) when the optional automatic transmission was fitted, but an automatic-equipped car was slightly faster to accelerate to 100 mph (161 km/h), taking 15.8 seconds compared to 16.3 seconds for the manual.

The Diefenbunker is a four-story, 100,000 square foot underground bunker, built between 1959 and 1961. During the Cold War it was intended to house 535 Canadian government officials and military officers in the event of a nuclear war. It served as Canadian Forces Station Carp until 1994.
For years it protected us from 75 feet underground and we knew virtually nothing about it. Today, it operates as a not-for-profit, charitable museum and boasts award winning tours and programs.
Arthur calls this computer-generated image of a low-pressure turbine “chromatic ring.” His team used the Jaguar supercomputer based at Oak Ridge National Laboratory to model fluid dynamics inside the turbine. They were looking for tiny variations that could help them improve turbine efficiency. Read More: www.gereports.com/the-art-of-science/

Year 3010 ...
"Since 2010, Terra began an era of modernization. Wars have stopped, people started to be more understanding and technology has evolved considerably. New technologies, new engines, new chips, new supercomputers but the same energy source . Therefore hazardous emissions and harmful gas emissions have destroyed vegetation. There is only one season: summer. cities are overcrowded and congested roads. Giving up cars people replace them with mechas spaceships. Pedestrian areas are becoming more narrow. The buildings continue to grow vertically. Life is prospering, but is supported by huge generators that produce the oxygen needed for living. People began to understand finally about the environment and try, as much as possible to walk and use less energy. The year 3010 started well, people realizing that not everything is lost and that there can be done something. "
