A Seacroft Sharks player about to ghost through the opposition defence and register one of his team's four first half tries during a 28-16 victory over Birstall Victoria in Division Five (North) of amateur rugby league's Yorkshire League.
Sharks scored five tries at Seacroft Working Men's Club to lead a lively, third-versus-fourth encounter 28-0 in the 48th minute before Birstall hit back with three tries of their own.
The visitors would surely have added a fourth try had they not, on the last tackle, raiding down the left, opted to pass inside with a two-man overlap.

In de aanloop naar de Global Conference on CyberSpace die hij 16 en 17 april organiseert maakte minister Koenders een experttour in Amsterdam rond de drie thema’s van de cyberconferentie: Freedom, Security and Growth. In de Rockstart Accelerator sprak hij hierover met deskundigen.
Global Conference on CyberSpace 2015:
Nederland organiseert 16 en 17 april in het World Forum in Den Haag de Global Conference on CyberSpace 2015 (GCCS2015),een internationale conferentie voor overheden, bedrijfsleven en experts over een open en veilig internet. Tijdens de conferentie kijken de deelnemers samen naar de kansen én bedreigingen van digitalisering voor onze vrijheid, veiligheid en economie. Ook zal een initiatief voor capaciteitsopbouw worden gelanceerd dat landen helpt hun cybercapaciteit te versterken.
Internationale samenwerking is essentieel, want internet kent geen grenzen. Nederland wil in deze aanpak een voorbeeld zijn voor andere landen. Op de agenda tijdens GCCS 2015 staan onder meer de strijd tegen cybercrime, het vergroten van cybersecurity, normen voor verantwoord gedrag van staten in cyberspace, en de bescherming van vrijheden en privacy online.
Het is de vierde conferentie onder deze noemer. Eerdere GCCS-conferenties waren in Londen (2011), Boedapest (2012) en Seoul (2013). GCCS2015 wordt georganiseerd door vier ministeries: Buitenlandse Zaken, Veiligheid & Justitie, Economische Zaken en Defensie, in samenwerking met de gemeente Den Haag. Minister Koenders (Buitenlandse Zaken) is gastheer en voorzitter van de conferentie.

Most people know catalysts as the things that break down noxious exhaust gases in a car’s catalytic converter. But their usefulness goes far beyond that, touching every aspect of modern life by making the chemical reactions used to manufacture fuel, fertilizer and other products more efficient.
Simon Bare, who joined the Department of Energy’s SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory in April, spent 30 years as an industrial chemist investigating how catalysts work. Now, as co-director of the Chemistry and Catalysis Division at the lab’s Stanford Synchrotron Radiation Lightsource (SSRL), his goal is to build on research strengths at SLAC and Stanford University to create a West Coast center for catalyst research and define new research directions.

SANDIA NATIONAL LABORATORY'S Z ACCELERATOR, A PULSED POWER FACILITY IN OPERATION.
A TIME-EXPOSURE PHOTOGRAPH OF ELECTRICAL FLASH-OVER ARCS PRODUCED OVER THE SURFACE OF THE WATER IN THE ACCELERATOR TANK AS A BYPRODUCTS OF Z OPERATION. THESE FLASH-OVERS ARE MUCH LIKE STROKES OF LIGHTNING. THE Z PULSED POWER ACCELERATOR AT SANDIA, WHICH BEGAN OPERATING IN SEPTEMBER, 1996, IS THE WORLD'S MOST POWERFUL AND EFFICIENT LABORATORY X-RAY SOURCE. IT IS A MODIFIED VERSION OF THE PBFA II ACCELERATOR WHICH WAS USED UNTIL 1996 FOR LIGHT ION FUSION RESEARCH.

Here's how we've mounted the accelerator pedal for the moment anyhow. So far it's working out just fine. Time will tell, as more people test it out.
As you can see from the "DIRT" on the E-Tractor, it's being tested.
Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (Fermilab ), located in Batavia near Chicago, Illinois, is a U.S. Department of Energy national laboratory specializing in high-energy particle physics. As of January 1, 2007, Fermilab is operated by Fermi Research Alliance, LLC, a joint venture of the University of Chicago and the Universities Research Association (URA). URA is a consortium of 91 leading research oriented universities primarily in the United States, with members also in Canada, Japan, and Italy. Fermilab is a part of the Illinois Technology and Research Corridor.
Fermilab's Tevatron is a landmark particle accelerator; at 6.28 kilometers (4 miles) in circumference, it is the world's second highest energy particle accelerator (LHC is 27 kilometres in circumference). In 1995, both the CDF and D0 (detectors which utilize the Tevatron) experiments announced the discovery of the top quark. In addition to high energy collider physics, Fermilab is also host to a number of smaller fixed target experiments and neutrino experiments, such as MiniBooNE (Mini Booster Neutrino Experiment), SciBooNE (SciBar Booster Neutrino Experiment) and MINOS (Main Injector Neutrino Oscillation Search). The MiniBooNE detector is a 40-foot (12-meter) diameter sphere which contains 800 tons of mineral oil lined with 1520 individual phototube detectors. An estimated 1 million neutrino events are recorded each year. SciBooNE is the newest neutrino experiment at Fermilab; it sits in the same neutrino beam as MiniBooNE but has fine-grained tracking capabilities. The MINOS experiment uses Fermilab's NuMI (Neutrinos at the Main Injector) beam, which is an intense beam of neutrinos that travels 735km through the Earth to the Soudan Mine in Minnesota.
In the public realm, Fermilab is host to many cultural events, not only public science lectures and symposia, but classical and contemporary music concerts, folk dancing and arts galleries, when the Homeland Security Advisory System permits. Currently the site is open to all visitors from dawn to dusk who present valid photo identification.
Linear accelerators are the device most commonly used for external beam radiation treatments for patients with cancer. It is used to treat all parts/organs of the body. It delivers a uniform dose of high-energy x-ray with pinpoint accuracy to the region of the patient's tumor to minimise damage to healthy tissue.

Sorry for the deleting, I'm trying to make the best video that I can with my old, crappy camera. There it is! And when I say that it can shoot anything that fits in the chamber, I mean ANYTHING. I shot some acorns out of it this morning. Lastly, sorry if my voice seems high, the mic on the camera is really bad.

SNL TECHNOLOGIST EXAMINES THE DEBRIS SHIELD AT THE GIANT Z-BEAMLET, THE THIRD LARGEST LASER ON EARTH.
THE DEBRIS SHIELD PROTECTS THE Z-BEAMLET LASER'S FINAL FOCUSING LENS FROM FLYING DEBRIS WHEN THE Z ACCELERATOR FIRES. IN ITS FIRST TRY AS A SNL DIAGNOSTICS TOOL, THE Z BEAMLET, CONFIRMED THAT SANDIA'S Z MACHINE, THE MOST POWERFUL LABORATORY PRODUCER OF X-RAYS IN THE WORLD, SPHERICALLY COMPRESSED A SIMULATED FUSION PELLET DURING A FIRING OF THE GIANT ACCELERATOR. THE BEAMLET LASER WAS FIRST BUILT BY LAWRENCE LIVERMORE NATIONAL LAB TO SERVE AS THE SCIENTIFIC PROTOTYPE OF THE NATIONAL IGNITION FACILITY. WHEN THE LASER WAS REMOVED FROM LLNL IT WAS REASSEMBLED AT SNL.

Based on the amount of time he spends here, I'd say that David Johnston loves the AC.
The screen behind him by the way, is projected from a rather expensive ($100K?) digital movie projector donated by Christie Digital. When I say movie projector, I mean, one that would normally be used in an actually movie theatre. Needless to say it's very bright and crisp.
There are only two small problems. First, it's so bright that it overwhelms the speaker - they need to get another spotlight for the podium because all of the photos come out washed out. And second, it's LOUD. You basically need to have the speaker mic'd in order to hear them, and the room is no good for an interactive event when the projector is on (I guess the fans are really big because it's so bright). I wonder if Christie would consider donating a sound-proof enclosure for it.
