This is a comparison of the red fluorescence bands in the so-called 'disulphide' fluorite (blue line) and the yellow fluorite rod (red line, similar to the Hilton fluorite). The bands have an identical overall shape and wavelength position but the yellow fluorite has a considerably lower contrast rippled structure seen in the normalised emission (green line). The delta-k for both bands appears to be very similar, i.e., around 550 cm-1.

Color or colour (see spelling differences) is the visual perceptual property corresponding in humans to the categories called red, green, blue and others. Color derives from the spectrum of light (distribution of light energy versus wavelength) interacting in the eye with the spectral sensitivities of the light receptors. Color categories and physical specifications of color are also associated with objects, materials, light sources, etc., based on their physical properties such as light absorption, reflection, or emission spectra. By defining a color space, colors can be identified numerically by their coordinates.
Forever Lean® provides two revolutionary ingredients that can help reduce the body’s absorption of calories from fat and carbohydrates. The first of these ingredients is a unique, fat-absorbing fiber derived from the cactus plant, Opuntia ficus-indica, otherwise known as Indian fig, nopal or prickly pear. Studies have shown that this unique fiber has a very high ability to bind fats, compared to other types of plants.
The other unique ingredient in Forever Lean® is a protein specially derived from the beans of the Phaseolus vulgaris plant, otherwise know as white kidney beans. This protein works by slowing the body’s absorption of sugar in the small intestine by temporarily inhibiting the enzyme activity that converts starches into sugar.
Together these two revolutionary ingredients can help you succeed in your quest to reach your ideal weight by helping to block the absorption of some of the fat and carb calories you ingest.
The third most effective ingredient in Forever Lean® is Chromium Trichloride. Chromium is a very important trace mineral which helps the body’s natural ability to regulate blood sugar by acting as a GTF (glucose tolerance factor) cofactor. This is especially important for normal metabolism.
To maximize the effectiveness of this supplement, however, it is important to remember that you should also incorporate a healthy diet and regular exercise into your overall weight control regimen in order to achieve and maintain your weight goal.

Shock Absorption System
This is perhaps the most unique feature of the Hyperdrive -- the shock absorbing, 4-point suspension. While you cannot see this in a still photo, note that I can easily move the drive mechanism around with my hand in any direction and the 4 black rubber mounts you see in the photo act as shock absorbers. This eliminates hard drive vibration in the Mac chassis and lowers the overall noise level too. Ingenious, especially for technology from 1985! GCC really gave some serious engineering thought to the design, much more than we can say of most hard drive vendors or enclosure makers today (as of 2007)!
By the way, the red LED you see in the middle of the drive faceplate is not a status LED as are modern frive LEDs. It lights and stays lit while the drive is powered on and spinning. It doesn't blink on and off with drive access.
Be sure to see my 720p video of how the shock absorbers work here:
Drive Mechanism
A label on the drive itself says that "Microcomputer Memories, Inc." (MMi) manufactured the drive. It is Model No.: MM 112. Not much is known about this hard disk manufacturer other than the fact they built drives in southern California in the early 1980's and were among the earliest drive manufacturers for personal computers.
In Jan. 2012 I posted detailed photos of the drive mechanism here:
goo.gl/photos/orFejUKwgu1ynbbs7
Without Shock Absorption
Here is a link to The 512k Sleeper, a hobby effort to put an internal drive in a Mac512. At the end of the article on that site, you will see the author mention a point about "vibration," which shows why GCC put so much engineering into their HyperDrive shock absorbing design. Clearly, you wouldn't want to put an older 5.25" hard drive in your classic Mac mounted directly to the metal frame!
HyperDrive 2000
From my own research on the web, it appears that the HyperDrive version I have (i.e., the version you see in my Flickr photos) is one of the earliest versions produced by General Computer -- the 10MB edition. A 20MB version followed, and after that GCC released their HyperDrive 2000. The biggest difference between the HyperDrive 2000 and earlier versions is the fact that the 2000 included an accelerator along with the hard drive. If anyone reading this has used or currently owns a HyperDrive 2000, I would love to hear your feedback on the system (along with some photos of the electronics, of course). In the meantime, here is a photo of a HyperDrive 2000 show display, as well as a photo of a GCC engineer working on code for the interface.

This is about the interaction of light with water in its different phases: vapour, liquid, solid and in the special enviroment within an emerald crystal structure.
As we saw in a previous posting: Water, ice (and fire), vibrations within the water molecule produce emission and absorption bands throughout the red and infrared spectrum. We also noticed that the bands shift in wavelength depending on the surroundings on the water molecule, appearing at longer wavelengths in liquid water and ice when compared with the vapour.
A particularly interesting case of this is the gemstone, emerald (Be_3 Al_2 (SiO_3)_6), where water molecules can be trapped, along with alkali metal ions, in 'channels' within the crystal structure (D.L. Wood & K. Nassau, The American Mineralogist, Vol. 53, May-June, 1968, p777). The orientation of the water molecules with respect to the channel axis determines both the wavelengths and the polarisation properties of the absorption bands.
This plot shows a wide wavelength range, from 400 to 2500nm (obtained with two spectrometers). The y-axis shows the absorption strength (absorbance) - except in the case of the butane flame (red line) where it represents the emitted flux per unit wavelength. Most, but not all, of the peaks in this plot represent the effects of water: absorption in the case of the Earth's atmosphere (grey line), liquid water (dark blue line), ice (light blue line) and emerald (green line); but emission in the case of the flame.
Examination of the regions marked with 'notes' on the plot shows that the wavelengths of the bands increase in the sequence: vapour (atmosphere and flame)' emerald, liquid, ice - representing increasing effects of the environment on the vibrations of the water molecule.
The strength of the water bands in this emerald pebble (about 6mm across) represents the equivalent of about a tenth of a mm depth of liquid water - similar to the depth of water across a typical green leaf.
The notes (boxes) on the plot give the identification of the water molecule's vibrational bands within this wavelength range with the three numbers within the brackets representing the harmonic (overtone) of the symmetric stretch (n--), the bending mode (-n-) and the asymmetric stretch (--n) respectively.
The atmospheric absorption is taken from an observation of a total eclipse of the Moon (E. Pallé et al., "Earth's transmission spectrum from lunar eclipse observations", Nature, Volume 459, Issue 7248, pp. 814-816 (2009)) while the water and ice absorbance are taken from D. J. Segelstein, "The complex refractive index of water," University of Missouri-Kansas City, (1981) and S. G. Warren, "Optical constants of ice from the ultraviolet to the microwave," Appl. Opt., 23, 1026-1225, (1984) respectively.

Tea saponin is triterpenoid saponin substance abstracted from wild camellia fruit. The product tastes bitter and spicy. It stimulates mucous membrane of nose to lead to sneeze. The pure product is fine white column-shape crystalloid with strong moisture absorption ability. It presents apparent acidity to methyl red and is hard to be dissolved in non-water methanol, non-water ethanol, and cannot be dissolved in organic dissolvent like acetone, benzene and petroleum ehter. It's easy to be dissolved in water, water-contained methanol, water-contained ethanol, glacial acetic acid, acetic anhydride and pyridine etc. The saponin is easy to deposit when tea saponin is added with muriatic acid. Its melting point: 224.
Appearance: light yellow powder
The content of active matter: ≥80%
Foaming ability: 160~190mm Baumé degree: ≥20Be
Water-solubility: easy Foaming ability: 160~190mm
PH value: 5.0~6.0 pH value: 5.0~6.0
Application
The environment-protection type pesticide agent produced with the main body of tea saponin can be widely applied in insecticide and antiseptic to increase effects, dissolution and reduce toxin. Meanwhile, it's also a good organic pesticide on the account of the function of tea saponin and biotin and can stimulate the growing crops. The special pesticide made of tea saponin has effective eliminative function for cutworm, angleworm and eelworm without any soil pollution for environmental protection.
The application of tea saponin in aquatic and livestock breeding industry
The feedstuff additive made of tea saponin is effective substitute antibiotic and can reduce the diseases for both humans and animals so as to improve the whole aquatic breeding industry and eventually bring healthy meat for people.
Regarding the shrimp breeding, tea saponin can prevent the black-gill shrimp disease and control parasites as well as improve the ecdysis and growing. It can be made for pond-cleaning agent on the account of hemolysis and fish poison functions (3ppm will bring good effects) in order to kill harmful fish but no harm to shrimp (safe concentration is 20ppm). In livestock breeding, it can reduce the level of cholesterol inside the animals and develop low-cholesterol animal products.
The application of tea saponin in building industry
Tea saponin can be used as foaming agent and foam-stabilization agent in air-added concrete production. It has the degrease function and can improve aluminum spreading suspended character, enhance the stability of concrete setting, improve the air-hole structure to make the products firmer and more reliable. The effects are much better than honeylocust powder and nekal. The strong emulsification and dispersing can be applied to the production of paraffin emulsification agent which has been successively used in the fiberboard gel crafts and apparently reduces the moisture absorption of products and increases the waterproof capability and the fiberboard quality.
Tea saponin can also be used in sensitization, beer industries and anti-corruption production with wider and wider application range.
The application of tea saponin in daily-use chemical industry
The surface activation of tea saponin can be used for production of hair-washing agent such shampoo etc. It has good effects for hair washing, protection and inflammation diminishing and scurf elimination. Tea saponin can also be used for washing clothes and will not reduce color or shrink and therefore the textile will not lose luster.
The application of tea saponin in medicine
Tea saponin has apparent characteristics of anti-leakage and anti-inflammation. During the primary period of inflammation, it can normalize the permeating of capillary vessel; regulate blood sugar content, reduce cholesterol content, prevent cardiovascular disease; it has cough-relieving function and can cure the old people's bronchitis and various edema; it can also eliminate bacteria and restrain white monilia albicans, escherichia coli; it can also restrain the alcohol absorption, increase the alcohol dissolution so that it can be used for sobering up after being drunk.
The application of tea saponin in drainage in oil field
Tea saponin is a kind of large molecule quality net-shape structure surface activator with good foaming ability and strong anti-acid and salt-decomposing capability as well as large quantity of water-combination. It's a kind of good daily-use chemical surface activator and high-efficiency oil field foam drainage agent.

Carbon dioxide (O=C=O) is a greenhouse gas, that absorbs in the near infrared part of the electromagnetic spectrum. Asymmetric stretching (top) at 2349 cm-1 and bending (bottom) at 667 cm-1 (this data source Wikipedia). The bending is a degenerate pair mode (direction of vibration orthogonal to each other) and the stretching mode the more intense peak in the spectrum. There is also symmetric stretching (at 1388 cm−1), but is not shown here, as it is not detected in the IR spectrum (the central molecule would expand in length).
The atmospheric infrared absorption causes these molecular vibrations and the molecule re-emits infrared heat in all directions, including downwards to Earth, causing extra warming (in addition to the Sun's radiation). Therefore, CO2 (and other greenhouse gases, e.g. methane from Arctic tundra) acts like a heat blanket. The dense atmosphere of Venus is mostly CO2, so the greenhouse effect is even more extreme, making the surface temperature even more uninhabitable.
It is now scientifically proven that the main cause of excess CO2, causing global warming (and climate change), is human activity: predominantly the burning of fossil fuels and deforestation. In addition, the excess CO2 is causing a slight decrease in seawater pH (by forming more dissolved carbonic acid), with the combined effect of increasing sea temperatures, affecting some marine life and ecosystems (e.g. coral reefs).

Yesterday I was lucky enough to have free tickets to the Braque expo at the Grand Palais. I didn't know this artist before and was very happy to discover his work which has a very wide variety of styles. If you have the opportunity, go discover!
Having just done the series of 6 photos where there was indifference also, it was interesting to see yesterday that everyone was absorbed! I've decided to do this series in black and white to focus on the people rather than the art. However, I'd definitely recommend this artist to you :)
Hier j’ai eu la chance de pouvoir aller gratuitement à l’expo Braque au Grand Palais. Je connus pas cet artiste et fut heureuse de découvrir son travail qui a changé en plusieurs styles très différents tout au longue de sa vie. Si vous avez l’occasion, découvrez-le ! (Demain c’est le dernier jour au Grand Palais.)
Puisque j’ai fait très récemment cette petite série « immersion et indifférence » j’étais très sensible aux autres visiteurs … et cette fois-ci tout le monde était immergé ! J’ai décidé de montrer ces photos en noir et blanc car j’ai voulu mettre en valeur les personnes et non pas l’art. Mais je vous recommande vivement cet artiste :)
If you recognise yourself in these photos and prefer they are not here, just let me know (or if you would like a copy of the photo).
Si vous vous reconnaissez dans cette photo et préfériez que la photo ne soit pas publiée, dites le moi (ou bien si vous aimeriez en avoir une copie).
Staff scientist Sam Webb places a sample into an X-ray absorption experimental station at the Stanford Synchrotron Radiation Lightsource (SSRL). This endstation was used to take data for a NASA-funded experiment looking at bacteria found in Mono Lake, CA that substitute arsenic for phosphorous within their DNA.
This setup is also used by visiting researchers investigating environmental contamination and other studies that require high-resolution chemical mapping—for example, finding ways to clean up toxins in soil by first precisely identifying them, or understanding disease by pinpointing harmful compounds in samples of brain tissue.

Inflatable agitated flotation machineIts characteristics are:
1, inflated the amount of easy to separate regulation;
2, mechanical stirrer wear small;
3, the sorting index is better;
4, power consumption low.
Inflatable flotation machineInflatable flotation machine:
1, structural features: no mechanical stirrer is no transmission components;
2, inflatable features: inflatable device, the bubble size by the inflator restructuring; 3, bubbles mixed with the slurry characteristics: upstream mixed.
Uses: treatment composed of simple, high-grade, easy to choose ore sweep the election.
Flotation Machine Features
Flotation device has the following characteristics: low power consumption. Each slot both suction, suction slurry and flotation triple function, since as flotation circuit, without any auxiliary machine tools, the level of configuration, ease of process changes. Pulp cycle is reasonable, to minimize sand sedimentation. Cycle on the leaves in the pulp, the pulp produced under the leaves under the cycle.
Flotation machine working principle
Sorting machine is mainly used for flotation of copper, zinc, lead, nickel, gold and other non-ferrous metals, ferrous metals and can also be used for the roughing and selected non-metallic. Sorting machine driven by the impeller rotation V-belt drive motor, a centrifugal role in the formation of negative pressure, on the one hand inhalation of pulp mixed with sufficient air, mixing the pulp with the drug combination on the one hand, and refined bubble, the bubble on top of mineral bond, floating to the surface and then form a slurry bubble mineralization. Ram height adjustment, control surface, so that was useful for foam scraper scraped off.Slurry after mixing for pharmaceutical and flotation of the first chamber into the slot beneath the impeller rotation, a negative pressure in the wheel cavity, making the tank bottom and slot in the next slurry by the impeller and the suction into the suction mixing zone, the gas also makes the air along the guide sleeve into the mixing zone, pulp, air and mixed pharmaceutical here.In the impeller centrifugal force, a mixture of pulp into the mineralized zone, the formation of air bubbles and was crushed, and full access to coal particles, the formation of mineralized bubbles and turbulence in the stator plate under the action of uniformly distributed in the tank section, and move up into the separation zone, rich foam layer formed by the discharge body blow bubbles, the formation of coal bubble.Sorting swivel slow rotation, when the sorting room into the floating market area, this time selected by the slurry distributor of materials to six points, respectively, to the choice of site, the weak magnetic mineral particles being sucked in the tooth plate and with the sorting ring rotation. Non-magnetic mineral particles in the gravity and effect of pulp flow through the gap tooth plate, into the lower part of the tailings sorting ring slot. Go to the ore separation room cleaning position, a small amount of wash water to enter, the inclusion of the gangue, even with the body wash into the tailings and sludge tank (the machine is not set in the mine shafts) to concentrate to improve the quality of purposes. When the sorting room to the location of the magnetic field is weak (the concentrate rinse area), is injected into the pressure of water, will suck in the teeth of a weak magnetic board mineral particles into the concentrate tank.
Mineralization above the bottom of the coal particles will not cycle through the suction hole and once again mixed, mineralization and separation. Impeller tank bottom is not part of the pulp, the pulp through a buried mine in the box under the slot into the second chamber, the first room to complete the whole process, the third room, flotation machine again and again, the pulp through the last tailings discharged into the tank room final tailings.
Flotation machine Description
Floating concentrator flotation machine is short. In the flotation machine, pharmaceutical treatment by adding the slurry, by stirring inflation, which some mineral particles to selectively fixed in the bubble above; float to the surface to be scraped off a bubble slurry product, the rest remain in the pulp, in order to achieve the purpose of separation of minerals. Flotation structure in many forms, most commonly used mechanical flotation machine.
Laser Tattoo Removal Post-Treatment Advice
The area to be treated should be free from make-up, perfume, deodorant and body or face creams.
GF Family
The area should not be sun-tanned. Use of sun beds or exposure to strong sunlight is not advised
prior to treatment. Dark suntans must be left to fade before treatment can start and fake tan should
not be applied.
A medical history is taken at consultation, but we rely on you to inform us of any changes to this.
We need to know of any medication you are taking, even those bought from a chemist or herbal
The immediate whitening of the treated area is the reaction of the ink to the absorption of the laser
light energy creating steam within the surface of your skin, this usually only lasts for several minutes.
Post-treatment skincare
Post treatment skin care divides into three areas:
Immediately after treatment, the area is best left alone completely for 24 hours.
After 24 hours antiseptic ointment or 1% hydrocortisone cream (available 'over the counter' at most chemists) can be used up to 3 times a day for 7 days. A sterile dressing should be used to cover the treated area for at least the first 3 days. It may be necessary to use a dressing for the duration of healing to protect the area if there is risk of damage from treated area rubbing on clothes (e.g. on waistband).
Cold compresses and ice packs may be used as needed after the laser treatment for any discomfort or inflammation, you can also take paracetamol for relief but not aspirin. This is because aspirin thins the blood, can increase the chance of bruising and bleeding, and can hamper the healing process.
Aloe Vera gel can also help improve skin comfort and reduce swelling or post-treatment redness.
Do not pick or rub, picking at scabs or allowing the treated area to get scraped increases your
chance of getting an infection and also increases your chance of developing a scar.
Short to medium term
Within the first 24 hours the area may become reddened and swollen which will settle in a few days and may feel similar to sunburn. The skin is fragile and needs gentle handling. Blisters sometimes appear and may be large. Do not worry, as this is not unusual.
Blisters usually last anywhere from 2-3 days to 2 weeks, depending on skin sensitivity. There are some rules that must be followed to avoid further complications:
Do not disturb the blister, this is nature’s “Elastoplast” and the skin will heal naturally under the blister. The blister will dry to form a “crust” and it will be shed by the skin when it is no longer required. The new skin will look “shiny” and will take a few weeks to return to a normal look and feel. Always:
o Wear clean, loose fitting clothes where possible
o Keep the area clean and dry. After washing, pat the area dry – do not rub
o If the blister bursts, do not panic – however it is important to keep the area clean. You can apply
Savlon or Vaseline
o Apply a non-adherent dressing if advised to do so
o Do not use make-up, perfumed products, toners, astringents or soap on the treated area until
healed
o Be careful with sprays, such as deodorants
o Do not shave over a blistered area
o Exercise is OK after treatment, considering all other after care instructions are practised but
avoid excess sweating for 48 hours after treatment.
o Do not soak the treated area until the skin has completely healed. - hot tubs, swimming pools or

:2
baths are not recommended as this increase the chances of infection. Showers are OK, but don’t allow the shower steam to hit the affected area. Do not keep treated area under running water or have the water too hot. Remember to pat dry, don’t rub the area.
o Hydrate the body by drinking plenty of water,
o Due to the dehydrating effect of the laser treatment, itching is very common. Aquaphor,
hydrocortisone cream, or vitamin E ointment can be used to the treated area.
o Call the studio immediately if the area looks infected or you are concerned in any way
Long term
Once post-treatment skin changes have subsided and the skin texture has returned to normal you will be ready for a follow up treatment. There may still be some reddening if the immune response is still active and, in any case, you must leave at least 4 weeks before any follow up.
You should take the following steps to reduce the risks of long term pigment disturbance:
Always wear at least a Factor 25+ sun block and reapply frequently, or better still cover with a dressing
Do not expose the treated area of your skin to UV light before and between treatments (natural sunlight and sun beds)
Do not apply fake/ spray tan to the area to be treated
There is also a risk, increasing with the number of treatments, of textural skin changes that can lead to scarring. If, after the skin in the treatment area has settled down, it feels lumpy or thickened, the matter should be raised prior to your next treatment. Depending on the situation, the clinic may recommend a longer treatment interval and/or the use of a topical silica gel product.
Adverse Reactions
As different people react to laser tattoo removals differently, it’s important that you keep a look out for skin changes after undergoing treatment. It is normal to experience scabs, blisters, crusts and swelling for a fortnight.
However if you have any extreme reactions or experience any of the following symptoms you have to immediately seek medical attention:
Persistent pain, which won’t go away with over-the-counter pain medication.
The treated area looks infected (yellow or honey coloured oozing and crusting)
Fever over 100°C.
If the treated tattoo area becomes swollen
Excessive bleeding or any drainage.
Although times can vary, complete healing usually takes 4-6 weeks, the process which breaks down the tattoo ink begins 2 weeks after the laser treatment. The ink will continue to evacuate until about the 6 week post treatment mark. Ideally, treatments should be scheduled 6 weeks apart.
Laser Tattoo Removal Follow Up
Follow after care advice and keep good standards of hygiene
Follow up treatments should be scheduled every 6 weeks.
Consistent repeated treatments will produce the best resolution of tattoos or pigmented lesions.

Test of various filters for blue light absorption. The goal is to find the best filter to get the darkest blue channel while preserving the red and green channels. Logic dictates this would be some sort yellow filter (white minus blue). Such a filter, if used on a full spectrum camera, would generate a pure IR image in the blue channel. In theory, by subtracting the IR image from the Red and Green (which are really Red+IR and Green+IR), clean IR, Red and Green channels can by derived, thus allowing creation of IRG-mapped (EIR film style) images from a single shot.
Looks like Tiffen #12 is the best filter.

Very neat styling overall, a shame we ended up losing Bond's flare with its absorption into Reliant.
The Vibration Mounts acts as a vibrator arrestor in heavy machinery. These mounts are designed for progressive absorption of loads.
Main Electronics Box (MEB)
Contains the majority of electrical connections and components vital for SAM's functionality.
Tunable Laser Spectrometer (TLS)
The TLS uses absorption of light at specific wavelengths to measure concentrations and isotope ratios of specific chemicals important to life: methane, carbon dioxide, and water vapor.
Gas Chromatograph (GC)
The GC has six different chromatographic columns. The GC assembly sorts and detects individual volatile compounds it separates from complex mixtures of gases through long (-100 feet and narrow (-1/100 in inner diameter) metal tubes (wound into coils) with a stream of helium gas, it sorts the gas molecules through interactions of the gas molecules with a stationary phase inside the metal tube: the gases elute from the column at different times known as the "retention time" of the compound. Once the gases elute from the column they are detected directly by thermal conductivity (TCD) and are identified by mass to charge ratio using electron impact ionization quadrupole mass spectrometry (QMS)
Wide Range Pump (WRP)
The wide range pump, about 4 centimeters (1.6 inches) across, spins at up to 100,000 revolutions per minute for moving gases out of the system between analyses of different samples.
Solid Sample Inlet Tubes (SSIT)
This is where the rover's robotic arm will deliver powdered samples that the rover drills from rocks or scoops from soil. The inlet is a highly polished funnel that vibrates to get all of the sample material down into a cup at the bottom of the tube.
Quadrupole Mass Spectrometer (QMS)
This identifies gases by the molecular weight and electrical charge of their ionized states. It will check for several elements important for life as we know it, including carbon, hydrogen, sulfur, nitrtogen, oxygen and phosphorus contained in volatile molecules.
Sample Manipulation System (SMS)
The SMS consists of a double ring carousel that holds 74 individual cups where solid samples can be received from the solid sample inlet tube (SSIT) and placed inside one of two pyrolysis ovens. 59 quarts cups can be heated up to very high temperatures (-1800 degrees Fahrenheit) to extract gases from the powdered samples. 9 fluid filled sealed metal cups that can be punctured inside the SMS are used for lower temperature wet chemistry experiments designed to search for certain polar organic compounds including amino acids and carboxylic acids. The other 6 metal cups containing solid samples for instrument calibration.

For the first time ever, all 10 NASA field centers participated in a multi-center NASA Social event Dec. 3, previewing the Dec. 4 first flight of the Orion Spacecraft on Exploration Flight Test-1.
Goddard hosted up to 25 social media followers to attend an afternoon celebrating the Orion launch. Attendees toured the Astrobiology Analytical Laboratory, where Martian meteorites and other samples are tested to answer two of the biggest mysteries facing humanity: How did we get here? And are we alone? We'll also tour Goddard's massive Integration and Testing Facility, where spacecraft are built and tested and the world's largest cleanroom where the James Webb Space Telescope is being constructed. Webb is the scientific successor to NASA's Hubble Space Telescope. It will be the most powerful space telescope ever built.

Bessarabië is een historische regio in Oost-Europa, waarvan het grondgebied wordt gevormd door het grootste deel van het huidige Moldavië (exclusief Transnistrië). De rest behoort tot Oekraïne, namelijk het gebied tussen Moldavië en de Zwarte Zee (de Boedzjak), alsmede de streek rond Chotyn. De grenzen van Bessarabië worden derhalve gevormd door de rivieren de Proet en de Dnjestr, de Donaudelta en de Zwarte Zee. De oppervlakte bedraagt 45.600 km².
Bukovina is a historical region, variously described as part of either Central or Eastern Europe (or both). The region is located on the northern slopes of the central Eastern Carpathians and the adjoining plains, today divided between Romania and Ukraine.

I became a Burnham adept in 1982 after reading his book 'The Managerial Revolution' (1941). Unfortunately this sympathy is now expressed by ultra-right politicians.

De anti-democratische wortels van de EU -
Met dank overgenomen van Th.H.Ph. (Thierry) Baudet, gepubliceerd op donderdag 20 oktober 2016.
In zijn dystopische klassieker, The Managerial Revolution (1941), introduceert de Amerikaanse politicoloog James Burnham het concept ‘gecontroleerde democratie’. Volgens hem zullen de Europese burgerdemocratieën in de tweede helft van de twintigste eeuw - min of meer ongemerkt en stapje voor stapje - worden overwoekerd door bureaucratische netwerken die achter de schermen, ver verwijderd van electoraat en publiek debat, de werkelijke beslissingen nemen. Terwijl de reële democratische volksinvloed daardoor verdwijnt, verwacht Burnham nadrukkelijk niet dat de Europese staten ook in naam zullen worden opgeheven. ‘De vele landen die feitelijk worden opgeheven zullen in naam blijven bestaan; ze kunnen als bestuurlijke subdivisies blijven functioneren, maar hebben geen soevereiniteit meer’.
Ook zullen er verkiezingen blijven; die geven de managers immers inzicht in de preferenties van de consument-burger terwijl ze bovendien aan mogelijke tegenkrachten een uitlaatklep bieden. Burnham voorspelt dus politiek theater in de vorm van schijnverkiezingen tussen kandidaten die over alle wezenlijke kwesties eender denken, die vervolgens tegen een vast maandsalaris voor de ogen van de argeloze toeschouwer debatteren in schijnparlementen, terwijl ondertussen allang vaststaat wat de uitkomst zal zijn - de knopen zijn immers elders al doorgehakt.
Het werk van James Burnham vormde niet alleen de belangrijkste inspiratiebron voor George Orwell’s 1984 : de kans is groot dat Burnham ook een beslissende invloed heeft gehad op Jean Monnet en Robert Schumann - de bedenkers van de huidige Europese Unie. Want nadat zij in eerste instantie probeerden om met open vizier een ‘United States of Europe’ door de nationale parlementen te loodsen (en zodoende langs koninklijke weg de volkeren onder te brengen in een continentaal staatsverband) kozen ze, nadat het Franse parlement hun plannen (onder luid gezang van de Marseillaise) in 1954 wegstemde, voor precies deze geleidelijke, tersluikse benadering uit 'The Managerial Revolution' om alsnog hun doel te bereiken.
I am always fascinated by the proces of absorption of reality into fantasy. Che along with swastika and so on becoming pop incons. This foto is part of "Street Fashion" set - a book project in progres. Mexico. 2005
Three of the scanning lidars that were deployed for LAFE: the University of Hohenheim water vapor differential absorption lidar (UDIAL), University of Hohenheim rotational Raman lidar (URRL), and NOAA/Earth System Research Laboratory Doppler scanning lidar (NDL, on top of the seatainer).
In August 2017, several state-of-the-art scanning lidar and remote sensing systems were deployed to the ARM Southern Great Plains (SGP) site for the Land-Atmosphere Feedback Experiment in order to collect data meant for improving study of feedback processes between the land surface and atmosphere.

Processed assuming a colour temperature (CT) of 5000K.
Things to notice:
1. The blue is predominantly due to ozone absorption in the Chappuis band acting as a blue filter arching across the sky.
2. The yellow/apple-green twilight colour low in the sky is due to Rayleigh (molecular) scattering of sunlight towards your eye followed by Rayleigh scattering of some of this light our of that path. The 'in' part is proportional to the Rayleigh optical depth (tau) and the 'out' goes as the negative exponential of the same quantity. This combination, as the optical depth changes with the altitude of your viewpoint, produces the sweep of colours from orange red to blue (but is seen through the ozone blue filter).
3. The pink clouds are being illuminated by sunlight that has passed through a great depth of atmosphere and the colour is predominantly due to Rayleigh (and aerosol) scattering of light out of the beam - extinction - and ozone (Chappuis band) absorption.
4. Note also that the two vapour trails on the right are casting shadows onto the underside of the clouds.
Color of Life note
Biofluorescence results from the absorption of electromagnetic radiation at one wavelength by an organism, followed by its reemission at a longer and lower energy wavelength, visually resulting in green, orange, and red emission coloration. Many species of mantis shrimp, for example, make use of fluorescent body parts when in threat display in order to intimidate or confuse either a predator or a competing male.

TAXONOMY
Kingdom: Animalia
Phylum:Arthropoda
Subphylum: Crustacea
Class: Malacostraca
Order: Stomatopoda
Family: Odontodactylidae
Genus/species: Odontodactylus scyllarus
GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS: Beautifully colored in peacock colors of greens, blues, and reds. Has a green body, blue head, green antennal scales, red limbs. The body is elongated with a long, flattened , blue tail and ranges in size from 3–18 cm (1.2-7.0 in). Highly noticeable is the pair of clubbed-shaped, praying mantis-like claws.
DISTRIBUTION/HABITATS: Indo-Pacific Habitat: warm salt water and builds U-shaped burrows in gravel substrates. Depth ranges from 3-40 m (10-131 ft).
DIET IN THE WILD: Feeds on other shrimp, worms, snails, crabs, mollusks. Lies in wait for prey in front of burrow, then swims out and quickly crushes prey with a strong, powerful smash. The claw moves so quickly it generates cavitation bubbles, which explode with a second powerful burst. The speed with which the claw moves through the watergenerates a force 100 times the shrimp’s body weight.
REPRODUCTION: Monogamous. O. scyllarus mate, spawn, brood, and hatch their eggs in their burrows.
LONGEVITY: Often live in pairs for their entire lifetime (4-6 years).
PREDATORS: Yellow Fin tuna
CONSERVATION: IUCN Not Evaluated
REMARKS: Large peacock mantis shrimp generate forces powerful enough to crush the shell of a large conch, and have been known in captivity to break the glass of their tanks! Striking speed of 50+ mph.
The amazingly complex eyes of mantis shrimp detect 12 base colors (compared to our 3). They also can discern ultraviolet, infrared frequencies, and the polarization of light! .

In a flash, the visible spectrum of the Sun changed from absorption to emission on March 9 during the total solar eclipse. That fleeting moment, at the beginning the total eclipse phase, is captured by telephoto lens and diffraction grating in this image from clearing skies over Ternate, Indonesia. At left, the overwhelming light from the Sun is just blocked by the lunar disk. The normally dominant absorption spectrum of the solar photosphere is hidden. What remains, spread by the diffraction grating into the spectrum of colors to the right of the eclipsed Sun, are individual eclipse images. The images appear at each wavelength of light emitted by atoms along the thin visible arc of the solar chromosphere and in an enormous prominence extending beyond the Sun's upper limb. The brightest images, or strongest chromospheric emission lines, are due to Hydrogen atoms that produce the red hydrogen alpha emission at the far right and blue hydrogen beta emission to the left. In between, the bright yellow emission image is caused by atoms of Helium, an element only first discovered in the flash spectrum of the Sun. via NASA ift.tt/1pma33F
Water filtration systems are good for your health. The benefits are ten-fold, with skin hydration, nutrient absorption, weight loss, detoxification, digestion and a reduction in the risk of cancer. Drinking pure water helps to support the immune system and mental health function.
The delivery of clean water to our homes is one of the hallmarks of modern civilization. Modern water systems test and treat water to ensure it’s safe for all of our needs — drinking, cooking, cleaning, and more. You want to be sure that the water we use is as pure as possible, and a practical way to ensure that is to add a water filtration system to your home.
Enjoy safe drinking water all the time. The consequences of having unsafe drinking water can be dire. Pollutants like heavy metals can have profound health consequences at worst, or at best make your water unpalatable. While the vast majority of municipal water systems in the United States do an excellent job of treating our water, there is always the danger of system failures, so it’s best to be safe. If you filter your water with an effective home water filtration system you’re making a smart investment in the health of your family.
Save money. If you’re buying bottled water for your family to use at home the costs can add up quickly. For the average family drinking 2-3 bottles of water a day, annual costs can easily exceed $500. That’s money can be recouped in a timely fashion after you install a water filtration system in your home. And there’s another drawback to bottled water…
Reduces lime scale and other mineral deposits. If you’ve ever looked at the bottom of an old tea kettle, you may have noticed white, chalky deposits on the bottom. That’s timescale, the buildup of minerals from lime and other minerals in your water. In addition to being unattractive, timescale can build up in pipes and appliances, and it often makes your water taste unpleasant. A quality whole-home water filtration system will alleviate many of the issues associated with limescale, and give you better tasting water as well.
Improve the taste of your drinking water. Water is one of the best fluids for your body, and adding more water to your diet can have real benefits for your overall health. So why not enjoy the best tasting water? With a water filtration system in your home, you’ll enjoy the clean, crisp taste of pure water, every time you open your tap.

Limestone, Classical, ca. 475-450 B.C.E., Said to be from the temple at Golgoi
After the absorption of Cyprus into the Persian Empire in 526/5 B.C.E., contacts increases with the wealthy East Greek cities on the western coast of Asia Minor, which had also fallen under Persian rule. The influence of Greek sculptural style can be seen in this statue of a man dedicated in a temple at Golgoi. He wears typical East Greek dress, a finely pleated linen chiton, and a woolen himation, and stands with left foot advanced in a pose that gives a subtle sense of movement. His smile and the jewel-like precision with which his hair and beard are carved remind one of Greek Archaic art of the sixth century B.C.E., but the style appears stiff and somewhat artificial in this statue, which was carved in the second quarter of the fifth century.
Like many Cypriot votive statues this figure wears a wreath of leaves and flowers. It is composed of oak leaves and stylized narcissus flowers, which must have evoked ideas of fertility and regeneration. The man holds gifts for the deity--a dove in his left hand and a cylindrical object, which probably represented a container of incense, in his right hand.
