Pretty consistently, customers come into the Diner and suddenly look up, startled, and ask if this piece of pie is new. And then we would say, No, it's been there for quite a while. How do so many people miss a very large piece of cherry pie suspended from the ceiling?

The individual investor should act consistently as an investor and not as a speculator- Benjamin graham
I wanted to adopt a consistent style 'as if' I was going to write a book on Athelhampton - or a story that was inspired by Athelhampton as a location.
First of all, can we just celebrate how consistent I've been with flickr the past few weeks. Just like the good ol' days.
Still a full day but I'm coming up for air.... just in time to have to get 3 papers completed before flying home to Minnesota next Saturday. I can do it! But, doing it means I'll be doing a lot of reading and writing this weekend. I talked with a professor on the phone today as a "check-in" and she really encouraged me that I have good writing skills (well, a good foundation anyways...even if I need to work on some writing skills a little bit)... so that was encouraging going into the next few weeks.
After work friends hosted the annual soup exchange and although I didn't bring any soup I was blessed with a few cups to take home myself. The friends who hosted made a thai dish with these great toppings and some bread as well. Delicious.
Now, to do some reading... oh, the life I lead.

Review by Jason Birchmeier
A half-century into their recording career, El Gran Combo de Puerto Rico are still one of the leading salsa acts in Latin music, which is all the more remarkable when you consider that founder and bandleader Rafael Ithier was well into his eighties when he and his orchestra released Sin Salsa No Hay Paraíso. The third full-length studio album released since Gran Combo de Puerto Rico left Combo Records at the turn of the century, after a quarter-century of releasing a new studio album more or less every year on the label, Sin Salsa No Hay Paraíso is no less exciting than its predecessors, Aquí Estamos y...¡de Verdad! (2004) and Arroz con Habichuela (2006), the latter of which won the group a Latin Grammy award for Best Tropical Album. The title track of Sin Salsa No Hay Paraíso storms out of the gate as the album opener. One of El Gran Combo's best singles in recent years, "Sin Salsa No Hay Paraíso" is straight fire and sets the album aflame from the get-go. While none of the subsequent tracks on the ten-track album measure up to the stand-out title track, there are plenty of highlights, among them a new version of "Achilipú," which was originally released on the classic album De Punta a Punta (1971), and "Colombia Tierra Querida." Fans of El Gran Combo know what to expect on Sin Salsa No Hay Paraíso, as this group is nothing if not consistent, and the album doesn't disappoint, the title track in particular.

The more you get to know people, the more confidence you have in predicting their actions. Or at least thats how I feel. I could easily bet that both Daniel and Ben would drop whatever they were doing just to go wakeskate. It's pretty cool how different people will up and haul ass for one particular thing. Usually it's a passion or else there is probably something above it on the priority list.
Everybody has a different riding style, different form, different grace. What has always impressed me about D is that he has always got a smile on his face when he rides. It's unique. If you think about it, wouldn't you be smiling too??
CSR or Corporate Social Responsibility is paramount within CEA. Since the company's inception in 2000 CEA has consistently invested in giving back to the community that surrounds it and Children's day 2014 was another great opportunity to do so. A member of the CEA team had brought it to attention that a local school was holding Children's day on Thursday 9th of January and asked if they could support, the decision was unanimously approved. CEA agreed it would give five lucky children a one year scholarship and give away stationery sets and ice cream on the day of the event.
The School 'Wat Mai Nern Payom' is located just two minutes’ drive form CEA Headquarters in Ban Ao Udom, Si Racha and houses over 500 children, it is an integral part of the Ban Ao-Udom community.
A team of CEA volunteers lead by QC Manager Khun Krittapas were in attendance to supply free ice cream to all the children, as it was such a hot day this soon became the most popular attraction! After the traditional Thai dancing CEA Yard Manager David Johnson presented one year scholarships to the five lucky children, this was met with rapturous applause by fellow pupils and parents alike, the children then partied on well into the afternoon full of energy thanks to CEA's Ice Cream!!

Good Morning all! This weeks stone of the week is Bethel White Granite. Found in large quantities in the USA, Bethel White may not be as tough as darker granite's yet it still remains to be remarkably hard wearing. Its predominate white/creamy background spotted with various grey/black crystals are relatively uniform. This makes it a great stone for large projects as working to achieve a flow of its natural grains are not required. As with most white and light based natural stones, it can compliment a variety of traditional or contemporary situations.
Soldiers of the 86th Combat Support Hospital put their skills to the test during an extensive field training exercise, which culminated in a mass casualty training event Oct. 19 at Fort Campbell. The unit is a worldwide deployable hospital capable of establishing up to 248 beds and six operating tables in support of America's combat operations. While at Fort Campbell, many 86th CSH personnel work at Blanchfield Army Community Hospital, but consistently train in field environments to refine their skills in preparation for deployed settings.

We had a fun "Walk in My Shoes" morning with WA Senator Joe Fain. Home based and family childcare owner Aan and her daughter Sagal hosted the Senator and fellow care givers Marie and Stacy. The Senator experienced first-hand how and why home based childcare is integral to working parents with non-standard 9-5 jobs who expect consistent, culturally competent, and multi-lingual care.
Castilleja halophila, Stedman Island, near Aransas Pass, Nueces Co., TX, 1 Apr 2016.
During my entire visit, fairly strong and consistent sea-winds blasted the area, making photograph quite difficult. Thus, many of the pics are not as crisp and focused as I'd like. But, as usual, I took way too many shots, so at least a few are OK!
Though this population was documented in the botanical literature since a collection made in April 1935, it has not been examined carefully until recently. While populations of typical C. indivisa may very occasionally contain white-bracted individuals, these rarities are virtually always hugely out-numbered by plants with the typical red to pinkish-red bracts. The population on Stedman Island, numbering about 2,000 plants, is 100% white-bracted, with a very few individuals showing a faint pinkish wash on either young bracts or ones that are fading. Though it is as yet undescribed, this population certainly deserves further study, as it has maintained its unique morphology for over 80 years, and no reddish-bracted plants are found anywhere in the reasonably near vicinity. Moreover, these plants occur in a sandy beach-grass community and the upper margins of Salicornia salt marshes, a habitat preference well-diferentiated from that of typical C. indivisa.

It was its supposed 'violation' of certa1n legal prov1s1ons that made the ,INU administration inform the student community of an inquiry being initiated against the JNU Forum Against War on People. Students of this campus are more than familiar with this Forum and its consistent campaign against Operation Green Hunt, for the past two years. Since legality itself is the basis on which the Operation Green Hunt (OGH) is predicated upon as per its chief architect, P. Chidambaram, it was not 'Jnpredictable that his local henchman, the JNU administration came up with the same logic. The target predictably is an organization that had been effectively mobilizing opinion against OGH. For Chidambaram, a former member of the board of directors for Vedanta and a lawyer himself, the war in the tribal heartland is basically to restore 'law' and 'order' by quarantining it of certain 'disruptive' elements. This will 'restore' democracy and bring back the rule of the constitution. But what exactly does Chidambaram mean when he invokes 'Law' and ~Democracy'? .
For the past 63 years, the bogey of 'legality' has been invoked every time the people have questioned the status guo. Over time most laws In India been made more draconian to maintain high rates of ex~:o!tation and crush people's movements. There once were POTA, MISA and now there are UAPA, AFSPA, GUJCOC, MCOCA, Chattisgarh Public Security Act and so on. They are draconian weapons in the hands of the rulers to imprison. torture, arrest revolutionaries, civil rights activists, intellectuals and the struggling people. The few progressive laws, gained through long drawn uncompromising and militant struggles of lhe people, have been willfully ignored. Provisions like the 5th ~chedule: that prevents private companies from mining over lanps categorized as ·scheduled', are also laws by the way. But the~e are openly, brazenly, blatantly flouted. They are impediments in the smooth implementation of the notorious mining and so-called industrialization policies after all. India, the so called 'world's largest democracy·, has the record for the highest number of custodial deaths. 7.333 people were killed in police custody between 2006 a~d 2009. This figure does not include deaths in custody by the Indian.army! In the police state that it has become, to maximrze super profits for a few. the ones who are imprisoned or tortured are in fact lucky, since they have at least escaped being encountered by many of our encounter ·specialists'. So much for law! And our media here openly celebrates 'encounter specialists ftaunting their ·achievements'. Never mind what the Supreme Court nad to say against such cold blooded murders! The highest legal body is always ignored whenever its verdicts are against vested corporate interests! .
Let us dwell upon one single example. Notorious for evacuating more than 640 villages, Salwa Judum, launched with the active support of Tata and Essar, despite being indicted oy the Supreme Court, still continues to exist. In one of rts recent attacks, on March 11, 201 1it burnt down 300 houses, killed men and raped women, besides beating up many others kidnapping two villagers and looting their granaries. Moreover, the Salwa Judum also ensured that no help reaches the affected villages by targetmg relief teams. When questioned by the High Court the government said these were not Salwa Judum but the Koya commandos! Incidentally. the Supreme Court has also given a verdict to disband Koya Commandos. But who cares! Salwa Judum's existence is important after all for the designs of India Inc. and their .
politrcal representative Chidambaram. So, even if the highe~t legal body directs ti1e state to disbanJ 1t 1mmediateiv. it wiii still continue to enjoy a free run. Their 'legality' is ensured by the corporate whose interest these vigilante goons are safeguardrng. That is enough to make rt legal! Never mtnd what the Supreme Court says! Or probably rt is all part of Chidambram s new strategy of 'eliminating' poverty-vlhat better way .
to do rt than to arm one half of the poor agarnst the other! .
Apart from this direct aspect of force on which the Indian state, much like its colonial predecessor, is based on there is also the aspect of structural violence whteh gets lost rn all the belligerent rhetoric that accompanies debates over an ·acceptable' mode of struggle. Farmer suicides in the country since 1997 now total182.936. More than 77% of Indians live under 20 rupees a day. 45% of India's children are .
stunted by malnutrition(the highest figure in the world}. over 90% of the labour is under the rnformal sector with absolutely no rights or .
protection measures, health care remams one of the most privatized in the world, the plunder of the mrneral rich tribal land in central India has .
been described by some as the 'brggest land grab after Columbus', infant mortality rate IS through the roof. On the international hunger index, .
India ranks below Sudan and Somalia and is below Bangladesh on the human development Index. · .
Historically, law in India has only provided impunity to the ruling elrte. It has only strengthened the various repressive organs of the state. The .
people have achieved little through 'legalistrc' means While Warren Anderson was flown out of the country on an official aircraft legaltv'. the .
VICtims of the Bhopal gas tragedy. after_a long watt of 26 years after the disaster. were demed even a semblance of justice.The perpetrators of .
the Gujarat carnage have been hailed as 'nationalheroes' by the saiT'e corporations for their 'effective' administration, whi!e the victims of the .
genocide have remained in lurch awaiting justice Peaceful struggles in their quest for justice have knocked on the door of every institution in .
the country in the past few decades only to be hum1hated The legally mandated minimum wages for the workers are openly violated all over .
the country. From the fast of lrom Sharmrla against AFSPA to the varhus anti-displacement movements, such examples abound all over the .
cou~try. Closer home, even in our universtty the legally mandated 27% OBC reservation has not been rmplemented for the past three years, · .
despite the intervention of the High Court. . · .
Time and again the contours of 'legal' and 'democratic' are redefined and flouted to suit the interests of the ruling class. To preach .
as to what is and what is not admissrble 1n a 'democratic' setup is to w1sh for something that doesn't exist in the first place. Parliamentary .
democracy in India is merely a smokescreen, at the underbelly of wh1ch lies the worst forms of feudal oppression. In a country where dalit .
women are raped as a matter of right by upper caste landlords, where ~hap panchayats execute people for marrying partners of their choice. .
where Hindu fascists prosecute minorities with active collusion of the state machinery. where rape is used as an instrument of war by the .
army and paramilitary, to invoke legality aga1nst people who are waging the most spectacular resistance today would not just be unethical but .
waul~ only help th~ ~tatus quo. As the JNU administration prepares to crackdown on democratic rights of students with the bogus claim of .

Descripción: arbusto ramoso y siempre verde, que si se deja crecer toma el porte de pequeño árbol que llega hasta los 5 m y en ocasiones alcanza los 8 m. La corteza de joven es amarillenta y de consistencia corchosa, pero en los ejemplares adultos se agrieta mucho en placas pequeñas y grisáceas. Las hojas son simples, opuestas, coriáceas, persistentes, tienen el margen entero y a veces están escotadas en el ápice. Son lampiñas de adultas, aunque de jóvenes son pelosillas en la base, el rabillo y las ramillas. Su forma es de ovalada a elíptica, no se suelen presentar planas sino algo combadas, es decir, con la lámina algo revuelta hacia el envés. Su color es verde intenso y brillante por el haz, mientras que el envés es verde pálido o amarillento, si bien en otoño pueden tomar un característico color anaranjado a causa del frío o amarillear por una sequía prolongada. Miden 1,3-2,5 cm de largo por 0,7-1,2 cm de ancho y tienen un rabillo de hasta 2,5 cm de largo. Hay flores masculinas y femeninas sobre el mismo pie de planta, pero están separadas en distintas ramillas. Son blanquecinas, aunque las masculinas se tiñen de amarillo al producir el polen. Los frutos son cápsulas de hasta 7 mm de largo que tienen tres cuernecillos característicos cuando aún están cerrados. Florece al final del invierno o al comienzo de la primavera y sus frutos maduran en verano.
Hábitat: se cría en valles fluviales y laderas umbrosas y rocosas, sobre todo en sustratos alcalinos, colonizando pedreras como sotobosque o acompañante de hayedos, pinares, robledales, quejigares y encinares. Crece casi desde el nivel del mar hasta los 2000 m, formando rodales o bosquetes, o bien asociado a otras plantas. El uso intensivo de su madera hace que no sea fácil encontrar ejemplares grandes, aunque en el norte alcanza portes arbóreos.
Distribución: habita en el centro y sur de Europa, norte de África, Cáucaso, Asia menor y sur del Himalaya; en la Península Ibérica fundamentalmente en su mitad norte, asociado sobre todo a las montañas calizas. Es muy abundante en los Pirineos y sus inmediaciones. Es escaso en Galicia y Levante, y alcanza las sierras de Cazorla y Segura.
Explotación: su uso más conocido, por admitir muy bien la poda y ser de hoja perenne, es como planta ornamental —ya usada por los romanos—. Es habitual encontrarla en setos vivos en márgenes y linderos o en jardines formando figuras decorativas (poda topiaria). También se emplea como acompañante de flor cortada en ramos y para otros ornamentos realizados con plantas. Existen numerosas variedades de jardinería con las hojas más pequeñas o variegadas (matizadas con colores o tonos diversos) para estos usos. Además su madera es muy valorada; es dura, densa, fina, homogénea, fácil de tornear, pulir y teñir, y sirve para fabricar pequeños objetos como cubiertos, mangos, botones, fichas e instrumentos musicales de viento como flautas, clarinetes y algunas piezas para las gaitas. Dicen que los mejores bolillos para hacer encajes están hechos de madera de boj. Antiguamente con su madera se confeccionaban las planchas de mejor calidad para los grabadores de las imprentas, y los pastores de las sierras orientales peninsulares la valoraban mucho para elaborar los badajos de los cencerros. Como curiosidad, indicar que las bolas de la Lotería Nacional están hechas de madera de boj. En medicina las hojas, la corteza de los tallos y las raíces se usan para bajar la fiebre (antipirético), quitar el estreñimiento (purgante) o frenar la caída del cabello (antialopécico). En la alimentación se usa como sustituto del lúpulo para aromatizar la cerveza. No obstante, es una planta bastante tóxica en todas sus partes y su ingestión puede provocar serias intoxicaciones e incluso la muerte. La planta contiene ácido nítrico y en algunos puntos del sur de Francia se abonan las viñas con sus hojas.
Etimología: el nombre genérico Buxus procede del griego puxos, que significa caja o cubilete, por la forma de su fruto y el uso que se le daba a su madera. El epíteto específico sempervirens quiere decir ‘siempre verde’, al ser de hojas persistentes.

IDENTIFICATION OF Rigel BC
In the absence of a plate-solved location for Rigel BC the following information was considered:
1. Positive -- Published position angle (202° East of North) is consistent with labelled BC. Per ASTAP this image does not have standard orientation, e.g. it does not show North in the standard position -- up (0°). A corrected image would be rotated 7° and flipped on the horizontal axis for standard alignment with North, which puts the labelled star near the correct position.
2. Negative -- The brightest star in the field (besides Rigel A) is magnitude 6.35 and the nearby dimmer stars are approx. magnitude 10. The image of the labelled star BC (magnitude 7.5) is between them in size (brightness) but appears closer to magnitude 10 than 6.
3. Negative -- The separation of A from labelled BC in the image is roughly estimated from the image at 1 arcmin, not the expected 0.16 arcmin (9.5 arcsec).
4. Positive -- It is consistent with other posted amateur images of Rigel A & B.
BOTTOM LINE
I have 80% confidence that Rigel BC is correctly identified in this image, but another star could be obscured in the asymmetrical flare. An occulting bar may be used to verify dim Rigel BC against its brilliant companion in a subsequent image.
Appearance: Bright light blue star (Rigel A) and dim companions (Rigel B, C, and D), with adjacent variable star λ Eri (magnitude 6.35) at 3:00 position. The severe halo/flare around Rigel may be due to the filter, and may be asymmetrical due to moderate sensor tilt in the system.

from Wikipedia
Rigel is a blue supergiant star in the constellation of Orion. It has the Bayer designation β Orionis, which is Latinized to Beta Orionis and abbreviated Beta Ori or β Ori. Rigel is the brightest and most massive component – and the eponym – of a star system of at least four stars that appear as a single blue-white point of light to the naked eye. This system is located at a distance of approximately 860 light-years (260 pc) from the Sun.
A star of spectral type B8Ia, Rigel is 120,000 times as luminous as the Sun, and is 18 to 24 times as massive, depending on the method and assumptions used. Its radius is more than seventy times that of the Sun, and its surface temperature is 12,100 K. Due to its stellar wind, Rigel's mass-loss is estimated to be ten million times that of the Sun. With an estimated age of seven to nine million years, Rigel has exhausted its core hydrogen fuel, expanded, and cooled to become a supergiant. It is expected to end its life as a type II supernova, leaving a neutron star or a black hole as a final remnant, depending on the initial mass of the star.
Rigel varies slightly in brightness, its apparent magnitude ranging from 0.05 to 0.18. It is classified as an Alpha Cygni variable due to the amplitude and periodicity of its brightness variation, as well as its spectral type. Its intrinsic variability is caused by pulsations in its unstable atmosphere. Rigel is generally the seventh-brightest star in the night sky and the brightest star in Orion, though it is occasionally outshone by Betelgeuse, which varies over a larger range.
A triple-star system is separated from Rigel by an angle of 9.5 arc seconds. It has an apparent magnitude of 6.7, making it 1/400th as bright as Rigel. Two stars in the system can be seen by large telescopes, and the brighter of the two is a spectroscopic binary. These three stars are all blue-white main-sequence stars, each three to four times as massive as the Sun. Rigel and the triple system orbit a common center of gravity with a period estimated to be 24,000 years. The inner stars of the triple system orbit each other every 10 days, and the outer star orbits the inner pair every 63 years. A much fainter star, separated from Rigel and the others by nearly an arc minute, may be part of the same star system.
In 2016, the International Astronomical Union (IAU) included the name "Rigel" in the IAU Catalog of Star Names. According to the IAU, this proper name applies only to the primary component A of the Rigel system. The system is listed variously in historical astronomical catalogs as H II 33, Σ 668, β 555, or ADS 3823. For simplicity, Rigel's companions are referred to as Rigel B, C, and D; the IAU describes such names as "useful nicknames" that are "unofficial". In modern comprehensive catalogs, the whole multiple star system is known as WDS 05145-0812 or CCDM 05145–0812.
The designation of Rigel as β Orionis (Latinized to beta Orionis) was made by Johann Bayer in 1603. The "beta" designation is usually given to the second-brightest star in each constellation, but Rigel is almost always brighter than α Orionis (Betelgeuse). Astronomer J.B. Kaler speculated that Bayer assigned letters during a rare period when variable star Betelgeuse temporarily outshone Rigel, resulting in Betelgeuse being designated "alpha" and Rigel designated "beta". However, closer examination of Bayer's method shows that he did not strictly order the stars by brightness, but instead grouped them first by magnitude, then by declination. Rigel and Betelgeuse were both classed as first magnitude, and in Orion the stars of each class appear to have been ordered north to south.
Rigel has many other stellar designations taken from various catalogs, including the Flamsteed 19 Orionis (19 Ori), the Bright Star Catalogue entry HR 1713, and the Henry Draper Catalogue number HD 34085. These designations frequently appear in the scientific literature,[ but rarely in popular writing. Rigel is listed in the General Catalogue of Variable Stars, but since its familiar Bayer designation is used instead of creating a separate variable star designation.
Rigel is an intrinsic variable star with an apparent magnitude ranging from 0.05 to 0.18. It is typically the seventh-brightest star in the celestial sphere, excluding the Sun, although occasionally fainter than Betelgeuse. Rigel appears slightly blue-white and has a B-V color index of −0.06. It contrasts strongly with reddish Betelgeuse.
Culminating every year at midnight on 12 December, and at 9:00 pm on 24 January, Rigel is visible on winter evenings in the Northern Hemisphere and on summer evenings in the Southern Hemisphere. In the Southern Hemisphere, Rigel is the first bright star of Orion visible as the constellation rises. Correspondingly, it is also the first star of Orion to set in most of the Northern Hemisphere. The star is a vertex of the "Winter Hexagon", an asterism that includes Aldebaran, Capella, Pollux, Procyon, and Sirius. Rigel is a prominent equatorial navigation star, being easily located and readily visible in all the world's oceans (the exception is the area north of the 82nd parallel north).
Rigel's spectral type is a defining point of the classification sequence for supergiants.[36][37] The overall spectrum is typical for a late B class star, with strong absorption lines of the hydrogen Balmer series as well as neutral helium lines and some of heavier elements such as oxygen, calcium, and magnesium.[38] The luminosity class for B8 stars is estimated from the strength and narrowness of the hydrogen spectral lines, and Rigel is assigned to the bright supergiant class Ia.[39] Variations in the spectrum have resulted in the assignment of different classes to Rigel, such as B8 Ia, B8 Iab, and B8 Iae.
As early as 1888, the heliocentric radial velocity of Rigel, as estimated from the Doppler shifts of its spectral lines, was seen to vary. This was confirmed and interpreted at the time as being due to a spectroscopic companion with a period of about 22 days. The radial velocity has since been measured to vary by about 10 km/s around a mean of 21.5 km/s.
In 1933, the Hα line in Rigel's spectrum was seen to be unusually weak and shifted 0.1 nm towards shorter wavelengths, while there was a narrow emission spike about 1.5 nm to the long wavelength side of the main absorption line. This is now known as a P Cygni profile after a star that shows this feature strongly in its spectrum. It is associated with mass loss where there is simultaneously emission from a dense wind close to the star and absorption from circumstellar material expanding away from the star.
The unusual Hα line profile is observed to vary unpredictably. It is a normal absorption line around a third of the time. About a quarter of the time, it is a double-peaked line, that is, an absorption line with an emission core or an emission line with an absorption core. About a quarter of the time it has a P Cygni profile; most of the rest of the time, the line has an inverse P Cygni profile, where the emission component is on the short wavelength side of the line. Rarely, there is a pure emission Hα line. The line profile changes are interpreted as variations in the quantity and velocity of material being expelled from the star. Occasional very high-velocity outflows have been inferred, and, more rarely, infalling material. The overall picture is one of large looping structures arising from the photosphere and driven by magnetic fields.
Rigel has been known to vary in brightness since at least 1930. The small amplitude of Rigel's brightness variation requires photoelectric or CCD photometry to be reliably detected. This brightness variation has no obvious period. Observations over 18 nights in 1984 showed variations at red, blue, and yellow wavelengths of up to 0.13 magnitudes on timescales of a few hours to several days, but again no clear period. Rigel's color index varies slightly, but this is not significantly correlated with its brightness variations.
From analysis of Hipparcos satellite photometry, Rigel is identified as belonging to the Alpha Cygni class of variable stars, defined as "non-radially pulsating supergiants of the Bep–AepIa spectral types". In those spectral types, the 'e' indicates that it displays emission lines in its spectrum, while the 'p' means it has an unspecified spectral peculiarity. Alpha Cygni type variables are generally considered to be irregular or have quasi-periods. Rigel was added to the General Catalogue of Variable Stars in the 74th name-list of variable stars on the basis of the Hipparcos photometry, which showed variations with a photographic amplitude of 0.039 magnitudes and a possible period of 2.075 days. Rigel was observed with the Canadian MOST satellite for nearly 28 days in 2009. Milli-magnitude variations were observed, and gradual changes in flux suggest the presence of long-period pulsation modes.
From observations of the variable Hα spectral line, Rigel's mass-loss rate due to stellar wind is estimated be (1.5±0.4)×10−7 solar masses per year (M☉/yr)—about ten million times more than the mass-loss rate from the Sun.[52] More detailed optical and K band infrared spectroscopic observations, together with VLTI interferometry, were taken from 2006 to 2010. Analysis of the Hα and Hγ line profiles, and measurement of the regions producing the lines, show that Rigel's stellar wind varies greatly in structure and strength. Loop and arm structures were also detected within the wind. Calculations of mass loss from the Hγ line give (9.4±0.9)×10−7 M☉/yr in 2006-7 and (7.6±1.1)×10−7 M☉/yr in 2009–10. Calculations using the Hα line give lower results, around 1.5×10−7 M☉/yr. The terminal wind velocity is 300 km/s. It is estimated that Rigel has lost about three solar masses (M☉) since beginning life as a star of 24±3 M☉ seven to nine million years ago.
Rigel's distance from the Sun is somewhat uncertain, different estimates being obtained by different methods. Old estimates placed it 166 parsecs (or 541 light years) away from the Sun. The 2007 Hipparcos new reduction of Rigel's parallax is 3.78±0.34 mas, giving a distance of 863 light-years (265 parsecs) with a margin of error of about 9%. Rigel B, usually considered to be physically associated with Rigel and at the same distance, has a Gaia Data Release 3 parallax of 3.2352±0.0553 mas, suggesting a distance around 1,000 light-years (310 parsecs). However, the measurements for this object may be unreliable.
Indirect distance estimation methods have also been employed. For example, Rigel is believed to be in a region of nebulosity, its radiation illuminating several nearby clouds. Most notable of these is the 5°-long IC 2118 (Witch Head Nebula), located at an angular separation of 2.5° from the star, or a projected distance of 39 light-years (12 parsecs) away. From measures of other nebula-embedded stars, IC 2118's distance is estimated to be 949 ± 7 light-years (291 ± 2 parsecs).
Rigel is an outlying member of the Orion OB1 association, which is located at a distance of up to 1,600 light-years (500 parsecs) from Earth. It is a member of the loosely defined Taurus-Orion R1 Association, somewhat closer at 1,200 light-years (360 parsecs). Rigel is thought to be considerably closer than most of the members of Orion OB1 and the Orion Nebula. Betelgeuse and Saiph lie at a similar distance to Rigel, although Betelgeuse is a runaway star with a complex history and might have originally formed in the main body of the association.
The star system of which Rigel is a part has at least four components. Rigel (sometimes called Rigel A to distinguish from the other components) has a visual companion, which is likely a close triple-star system. A fainter star at a wider separation might be a fifth component of the Rigel system.
William Herschel discovered Rigel to be a visual double star on 1 October 1781, cataloguing it as star 33 in the "second class of double stars" in his Catalogue of Double Stars, usually abbreviated to H II 33, or as H 2 33 in the Washington Double Star Catalogue.
Friedrich Georg Wilhelm von Struve first measured the relative position of the companion in 1822, cataloguing the visual pair as Σ 668. The secondary star is often referred to as Rigel B or β Orionis B. The angular separation of Rigel B from Rigel A is 9.5 arc seconds to its south along position angle 204°. Although not particularly faint at visual magnitude 6.7, the overall difference in brightness from Rigel A (about 6.6 magnitudes or 440 times fainter) makes it a challenging target for telescope apertures smaller than 15 cm (6 in).
At Rigel's estimated distance, Rigel B's projected separation from Rigel A is over 2,200 astronomical units (AU). Since its discovery, there has been no sign of orbital motion, although both stars share a similar common proper motion. The pair would have an estimated orbital period of 24,000 years. Gaia Data Release 2 (DR2) contains a somewhat unreliable parallax for Rigel B, placing it at about 1,100 light-years (340 parsecs), further away than the Hipparcos distance for Rigel, but similar to the Taurus-Orion R1 association. There is no parallax for Rigel in Gaia DR2. The Gaia DR2 proper motions for Rigel B and the Hipparcos proper motions for Rigel are both small, although not quite the same.
In 1871, Sherburne Wesley Burnham suspected Rigel B to be a binary system, and in 1878, he resolved it into two components. This visual companion is designated as component C (Rigel C), with a measured separation from component B that varies from less than 0.1″ to around 0.3″. In 2009, speckle interferometry showed the two almost identical components separated by 0.124″, with visual magnitudes of 7.5 and 7.6, respectively. Their estimated orbital period is 63 years. Burnham listed the Rigel multiple system as β 555 in his double star catalog or BU 555 in modern use.
Component B is a double-lined spectroscopic binary system, which shows two sets of spectral lines combined within its single stellar spectrum. Periodic changes observed in relative positions of these lines indicate an orbital period of 9.86 days. The two spectroscopic components Rigel Ba and Rigel Bb cannot be resolved in optical telescopes but are known to both be hot stars of spectral type around B9. This spectroscopic binary, together with the close visual component Rigel C, is likely a physical triple-star system, although Rigel C cannot be detected in the spectrum, which is inconsistent with its observed brightness.
In 1878, Burnham found another possibly associated star of approximately 13th magnitude. He listed it as component D of β 555, although it is unclear whether it is physically related or a coincidental alignment. Its 2017 separation from Rigel was 44.5″, almost due north at a position angle of 1°.[8] Gaia DR2 finds it to be a 12th magnitude sunlike star at approximately the same distance as Rigel. Likely a K-type main-sequence star, this star would have an orbital period of around 250,000 years, if it is part of the Rigel system.
A spectroscopic companion to Rigel was reported on the basis of radial velocity variations, and its orbit was even calculated, but subsequent work suggests the star does not exist and that observed pulsations are intrinsic to Rigel itself.
Rigel is a blue supergiant that has exhausted the hydrogen fuel in its core, expanded and cooled as it moved away from the main sequence across the upper part of the Hertzsprung–Russell diagram. When it was on the main sequence, its effective temperature would have been around 30,000 K. Rigel's complex variability at visual wavelengths is caused by stellar pulsations similar to those of Deneb. Further observations of radial velocity variations indicate that it simultaneously oscillates in at least 19 non-radial modes with periods ranging from about 1.2 to 74 days.
Estimation of many physical characteristics of blue supergiant stars, including Rigel, is challenging due to their rarity and uncertainty about how far they are from the Sun. As such, their characteristics are mainly estimated from theoretical stellar evolution models. Its effective temperature can be estimated from the spectral type and color to be around 12,100 K. A mass of 21±3 M☉ at an age of 8±1 million years has been estimated by comparing evolutionary tracks, while atmospheric modeling from the spectrum gives a mass of 24±8 M☉.
Although Rigel is often considered the most luminous star within 1,000 light-years of the Sun, its energy output is poorly known. Using the Hipparcos distance of 860 light-years (264 parsecs), the estimated relative luminosity for Rigel is about 120,000 times that of the Sun (L☉), but another recently published distance of 1,170 ± 130 light-years (360 ± 40 parsecs) suggests an even higher luminosity of 219,000 L☉. Other calculations based on theoretical stellar evolutionary models of Rigel's atmosphere give luminosities anywhere between 83,000 L☉ and 363,000 L☉, while summing the spectral energy distribution from historical photometry with the Hipparcos distance suggests a luminosity as low as 61,515±11,486 L☉.
A 2018 study using the Navy Precision Optical Interferometer measured the angular diameter as 2.526 mas. After correcting for limb darkening, the angular diameter is found to be 2.606±0.009 mas, yielding a radius of 74.1+6.1−7.3 R☉. An older measurement of the angular diameter gives 2.75±0.01 mas, equivalent to a radius of 78.9 R☉ at 264 pc. These radii are calculated assuming the Hipparcos distance of 264 pc; adopting a distance of 360 pc leads to a significantly larger size. Older distance estimates were mostly far lower than modern estimates, leading to lower radius estimates; a 1922 estimate by John Stanley Plaskett gave Rigel a diameter of 25 million miles, or approximately 28.9 R☉, smaller than its neighbor Aldebaran.
Due to their closeness to each other and ambiguity of the spectrum, little is known about the intrinsic properties of the members of the Rigel BC triple system. All three stars seem to be near equally hot B-type main-sequence stars that are three to four times as massive as the Sun.
Stellar evolution models suggest the pulsations of Rigel are powered by nuclear reactions in a hydrogen-burning shell that is at least partially non-convective. These pulsations are stronger and more numerous in stars that have evolved through a red supergiant phase and then increased in temperature to again become a blue supergiant. This is due to the decreased mass and increased levels of fusion products at the surface of the star.
Rigel is likely to be fusing helium in its core. Due to strong convection of helium produced in the core while Rigel was on the main sequence and in the hydrogen-burning shell since it became a supergiant, the fraction of helium at the surface has increased from 26.6% when the star formed to 32% now. The surface abundances of carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen seen in the spectrum are compatible with a post-red supergiant star only if its internal convection zones are modeled using non-homogeneous chemical conditions known as the Ledoux Criteria.
Rigel is expected to eventually end its stellar life as a type II supernova. It is one of the closest known potential supernova progenitors to Earth, and would be expected to have a maximum apparent magnitude of around −11 (about the same brightness as a quarter Moon or around 300 times brighter than Venus ever gets). The supernova would leave behind either a black hole or a neutron star.

Review by Jason Birchmeier
A half-century into their recording career, El Gran Combo de Puerto Rico are still one of the leading salsa acts in Latin music, which is all the more remarkable when you consider that founder and bandleader Rafael Ithier was well into his eighties when he and his orchestra released Sin Salsa No Hay Paraíso. The third full-length studio album released since Gran Combo de Puerto Rico left Combo Records at the turn of the century, after a quarter-century of releasing a new studio album more or less every year on the label, Sin Salsa No Hay Paraíso is no less exciting than its predecessors, Aquí Estamos y...¡de Verdad! (2004) and Arroz con Habichuela (2006), the latter of which won the group a Latin Grammy award for Best Tropical Album. The title track of Sin Salsa No Hay Paraíso storms out of the gate as the album opener. One of El Gran Combo's best singles in recent years, "Sin Salsa No Hay Paraíso" is straight fire and sets the album aflame from the get-go. While none of the subsequent tracks on the ten-track album measure up to the stand-out title track, there are plenty of highlights, among them a new version of "Achilipú," which was originally released on the classic album De Punta a Punta (1971), and "Colombia Tierra Querida." Fans of El Gran Combo know what to expect on Sin Salsa No Hay Paraíso, as this group is nothing if not consistent, and the album doesn't disappoint, the title track in particular.

A juzgar por las figuraciones heráldicas existentes en la catedral, consistentes en castillos y torres, se supone que las obras del claustro de la catedral de Tarragona se iniciaron bajo la prelatura de los obispos Ramón de Castellterçol y Ramón de Rocabertí, hacia 1194. Otras teorías, sin embargo, apuntan hacia el canónigo Berenguer de Castellet, y sitúan el inicio de las obras hacia 1214. En cualquier caso, el aludido Ramón de Rocabertí legó en su testamento la importante cantidad de 1000 sueldos para las obras del claustro.
El claustro se encuentra situado en la parte nordeste de la catedral, con planta rectangular de cuarenta y siete metros por cuarenta y seis, consta de cuatro galerías de seis tramos más los angulares comunes. Las divisiones quedan patentes por medio de pilares cuyos contrafuertes se asientan en el jardín del claustro. Parte de ellos incluyen canalones que vertían las aguas pluviales en dirección a la antigua cloaca romana, que se hallaba todavía en uso. Cubiertas con bóvedas de crucería siguiendo la tipología de los monasterios de Poblet y Vallbona de les Monges y con un gran patio central. Sus arcadas estas construidas por dos órdenes de soporte, en el superior hay grandes arcos ojivales ciegos con dos óculos de tracería calada colocados en el vértice central además de un friso con elementos polilobulados de ascendencia musulmana, que recorre toda la cornisa. En la parte inferior se distribuyen grupos de tres arcos de medio punto, decorados con puntas de diamante, sobre dobles columnas dentro de cada arco ojival ciego.
La decoración escultórica del claustro es extensa y se encuentra en los capiteles, impostas, en las bases, los frisos de los pilares angulares así como en los canecillos de la cornisa, en las ménsulas y en sus claves de bóveda.
