This is the ceiling bulb in my living room. I set my camera to the highest possible contrast, ISO at 50, exposure compensation at -2, and activated my gravity boots so I can lie on my stomach against the ceiling and get this pov. ;-)
Some time ago, I realized that the first thing I noticed whenever I entered a room was the lighting. Since then, I've become obsessed with lighting and lights per se. This validates my obsession.
Happy Thursday!

This image shows the analysis of an immune activation assay (called elispot assay). For this assay, the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) tissue chip researchers are investigating how many cytokines were produced by T cells; this indicates their activation status. Immune activation results in many dots.

On August 12th, 2002, the Delaware Army National Guard held a sendoff ceremony at Fort Du Pont in Delaware City for the 153rd Military Police Company. The 153rd began a 270-day activation and deployment in support of Operation Desert Spring in Saudi Arabia.
Family, friends, and fellow soldiers and airmen of the Delaware National Guard came out as early as 7 a.m. to see the MPs off to their mobilization station at Fort Dix, NJ. The 153rd will be at Fort Dix for two weeks and arrive in Saudi Arabia by the end of August.
Also present to honor those deploying were Gov. Ruth Ann Minner, U. S. Sen. Joseph Biden, U. S. Sen. Thomas Carper, and U. S. Congressman Michael Castle.
144 members of the 153rd Military Police Company are being deployed to Eskan Village, near the Saudi capitol of Riyadh, to provide security for the installation and the forward-deployed troops we have stationed there.
One soldier said of the deployment, “It will be a good training opportunity for us, it shows support for the country, and it gives soldiers the experience and chance to see more facets of the military. It builds morale… We all have each other’s back.”
The 153rd MP Company, which is only six years old, was mobilized under a Presidential Select Reserve Callup, authorized by President Bush. The company was notified in early May and officially went on active duty August 9th.
Lt. Col. Perry McGinnis, Commander of the 2nd Battalion, 72nd Troop Command, hosted the ceremony and wished his soldiers well.
The Adjutant General, Maj. Gen. Frank Vavala, addressed the 153rd Military Police Company reverently for the last time before sending his troops overseas. “We are all proud of your commitment and sense of duty… To freedom, to the country, and to the state,” he assured them. He spoke to the soldiers of the validity of their mission and reaffirmed his great appreciation. He wished them well. “God’s speed 153rd. I salute you.”
Gov. Minner thanked the soldiers for their efforts to ‘support our world’. In reference to their active-duty counterparts, she declared, “They need you. We need you. As a country, we must be prepared to deploy to anywhere on the globe. Part of that… is you.”
Gov. Minner spoke of the soldiers confidently. “Think of the young people looking up to you as the heroes of their future. You’re one of us and we are proud of you.”
“God bless you. God keep you and your families. Thank You. Return safely,” she said as she bid them farewell.
During the ceremony, she also signed two new bills into law that will affect former, current and future members of the Delaware National Guard. The bills were sponsored by Sen. Nancy Cook and Rep. Nancy Wagner. Sen. Cook was on hand to witness the signing.
The first, Senate Bill #272, ensures the state will make up the difference between military and civilian pay, if negative, for state employees who are mobilized and deployed in support of military contingency operations. The 153rd deployed 19 soldiers who are state employees.
The second, Senate Bill #439, allows state retirees to return to work temporarily to fill in for deployed soldiers; without their (retiree) pension or benefits being affected.
Sen. Biden also addressed the 153rd and openly acknowledged to the soldiers, “We couldn’t engage in the war on terror without you.” He thanked the families for their ‘service’ also. “You’re being asked to do much more than the rest of your fellow Delawareans.”
Sen. Carper lent recognition to the changing missions of the Army’s reserve components by confirming that, “We rely more than ever on the Guard and Reserves.” He went on to quote Winston Churchill: To be a reservist is to be twice a citizen. He thanked the soldiers for their commitment ‘to freedom, to this country, and to this state.’
Congressman Castle referred to the soldiers as ‘ready and capable’. The soldiers were commended for being ‘highly trained and prepared to represent Delaware’. He encouraged the soldiers to enjoy their experiences.
“America will be extraordinarily well-served.”
As the sendoff neared an end, Col Henry McCann, Commander, 72nd Troop Command, affirmed, “I am proud of each and every one of you. You will do your duty.”
Soldiers were given an extra 10 minutes after the ceremony ended to say their final ‘goodbyes’ before loading the buses that would take them to their mobilization station.
Even with all of the support and camaraderie, the final minutes spent with loved ones were challenging.
Soldiers tried to pacify their families with long embraces and words of strength, promise, and encouragement.
“You’ll be okay. It’s two times OBC (Officer Basic Course),” 2nd Lt. Tom Quek said to his wife to help calm her. Before heading off, he made a simple request of his son, Thomas. “Learn your ABC’s while I’m gone, okay?”
“She’s our hero,” Maj. William Rhoades of Headquarters, State Area Command said of his daughter, Spec. Melissa Rhoades. “I’m crying for her.”
Excited about the opportunity to serve, Spec. Allison Rogers posed candidly with his father and grandfather. His grandfather, Paul K. Satrape, is a WWII veteran who is proud to see Rogers serve.
With the degree of support displayed at this sendoff, deployed soldiers are able to serve proudly and unselfishly as they protect the freedom of those that they leave behind.

This is a report on the feast of St. Sebastian that was celebrated in the Sicilian town of Tortorici; the feast was held on January 20 of last year 2018. The devotees men go "naked" to the Holy as a sign of penance, they are dressed in white with a shirt and trousers, an handkerchief folded in a triangle shape on the pant and they walk barefoot; women, even they walk barefoot or wearing only white stockings, wearing white shirts and skirts, an handkerchief covering her head: all devotees, "naked" and not, accompany the saint in procession.
The religious rite is celebrated in the Church of St. Maria Assunta , with the participation of local authorities who continue an ancient tradition, and that is to deliver the keys of the city, as a sign of devotion to the Holy . At noon starts the procession through the streets of the City. The artistic "float" is carried only by the "naked" , this is a privilege but also a duty of penance . The first stage of the procession is in the River Calagni where devotees invoking the grace , this rite is the complex relationship of the city of Tortorici with the rivers: the rivers have always provided water for the food, for irrigation fields, but often the rivers have destroyed or damaged the territory, so... the Holy is invoked to ward off damage . After the stop in the River Calagni, the procession resumes through the streets of the town.
In Sicily, the oldest traces of the cult of San Sebastiano date back to 1347, when, on the occasion of the terrible epidemic of bubonic plague that hit all of Europe, the saint was proclaimed patron and protector of Palermo.
This epidemic spread a great devotion to St. Sebastian because the saint, tied to a column and hit by arrows, was considered the symbol of humanity pierced by the plague's arrows.
on 20 January 2018, in Tortorici, the celebrations in honor of San Sebastiano were performed in a sad and reduced form, as the whole community was close to the pain of Chiara's family, a very young girl of 20 who lost her life in a car accident, with the car crashing into the river bed that flows through Tortorici.

Questo è un racconto fotografico della festa di San Sebastiano celebrato nella città siciliana di Tortorici, festa che si è tenuta il 20 gennaio dekllo scorso anno 2018. I devoti vanno "nudi" al Santo come segno di penitenza, essere "nudi" si intende in questo caso, essere vestiti di bianco, gli uomini indossano una camicia, dei pantaloni con un fazzoletto piegato a triangolo che cinge la vita e camminano scalzi; anche le donne camminano a piedi nudi o indossano solo calze bianche, indossano camicie e gonne bianch ed un fazzoletto copre la testa: tutti i devoti, "nudi" e non, accompagnano il santo in processione.
Il rito religioso è celebrato nella Chiesa di S. Maria Assunta, con la partecipazione delle autorità locali che continuano un'antica tradizione, consegnare le chiavi della città al Santo, come segno di devozione. A mezzogiorno inizia la processione per le vie della città, la vara viene portata solo dagli uomini "nudi", questo è si un privilegio, ma anche un dovere di penitenza. La prima tappa della processione è nelle acque gelide del fiume Calagni, dove i devoti invocano la grazia, questo rito è il complesso rapporto che la città di Tortorici ha coi fiumi: i fiumi hanno da sempre fornito acqua per il cibo, per coltivare i campi, ma spesso i fiumi a Tortorici hanno anche distrutto o danneggiato il territorio, quindi ... il Santo viene così invocato per scongiurare danni. Dopo la sosta nel fiume Calagni, la processione riprende per le vie della città.
In Sicilia le tracce più antiche del culto di San Sebastiano riportano al 1347, quando, in occasione della terribile epidemia di peste bubbonica che colpì tutta l’Europa, il santo fu proclamato compatrono e protettore di Palermo.
Questa epidemia fece diffondere una grande devozione per San Sebastiano poiché il santo, legato a una colonna e colpito dalle frecce, veniva considerato il simbolo dell’umanità trafitta dagli strali della peste.
il 20 gennaio 2018, a Tortorici, i festeggiamenti in onore di San Sebastiano, sono stati eseguiti in forma mesta e ridotta, poichè tutta la comunità si è stretta attorno al dolore della famiglia di Chiara, una giovanissima ragazza di 20 anni che ha perso la vita in un incidente automobilistico, l'automobile sulla quale Chiara viaggiava è precipitata dentro l'alveo del Fiume Grande che attraversa Tortorici.

We looked into many, many solutions for filtration, and they all boiled down to the same thing: CFM + surface area exposure. That means move as much air as possible over as much odor-absorbing material (activated charcoal) as possible.
So we're using steel window-screen material (already framed) backed by chicken-wire for support. Got a few skin punctures during the stapling, but 4 frames went together pretty quick (24x20")
This is a sight one will often see...naked and barefoot children playing with whatever they find on the street, trash included. Parents don't seem to mind.
