No tots estan quiets...hi ha gent que es mou, i que es planta al mig de la Plaça Sant Jaume, el centre de poder de Barcelona i Catalunya, a expresar el que pensa.
The end of the day seems like a great time to take the metal detector out.

Today I went to the Kuwait Stock Exchange. It was my first time there and it was incredible. First to get in we had to pass through security which was rubbish. The metal detector machine you walk through wasn't working, in fact it was turned off, I saw the switch it said OFF. On their way in, people also placed their keys and phones in a basket before passing, I don't know why maybe out of habit since the security guard didn't seem to care. Also, if you had a bag, like I did, the security guard checked it with a handheld metal detector which I am sure was off because it had no lights and it made no sounds, although I had my camera, pda, iPod and PSP in it. Anyway when we went in, the place looked like an airport lounge. There was a restaurant, a Starbucks and a lot of people just sitting in chairs exactly like the ones you would find at airports. There was also a huge Times Square like electronic screen on the wall, they told me it was a new addition and that people can now watch the news and the stocks all from that "lounge". We then went to the stock exchange floor, now that place was huge and just totally packed with people. The shot I took only shows a third of the floor, since I am using a fixed 50mm lens I couldn't zoom out to show you more. This floor is where all the action takes place according to our guide, he told us this is where you can find people dancing or people fainting. He told us last week there were ambulances lined up outside the stock exchange building because when the stocks went down badly so did a lot of people. Today wasn't a good day either, when we got to the place all the stocks were down, turned out there was some kind of court case between the owners of Sultan Center and another party, people were waiting for the results of the case, then once word reached them that the Sultan Center owners won the case, stocks starting going back up. One thing that was totally strange about the KSE was that people actually wanted to be photographed. When I pulled out my camera old people started asking me if I was from CNN or Time magazine and they wanted me to take pictures of them. Its a very strange place..

You voted, and winning by more than twice the votes, this month's Corps Top Shot comes from Cpl. Alfred V. Lopez. Lopez is currently deployed with Regimental Combat Team 5.

Cpl. Sean Grady, a dog handler and pointman with Echo Company, 1st Light Armored Reconnaissance Battalion, and Ace, an improvised explosive device detection dog, pause for a break while sweeping a chokepoint during a patrol here, April 27, 2012. Grady, a 27-year-old native of Otho, Iowa, and Ace have successfully located 16 IEDs, the most of any team in their battalion, since arriving in southern Helmand in October 2011.

The question of mass has been especially puzzling, and has left the Higgs boson as the single missing piece of the Standard Model. The Standard Model has three of four of nature's forces: electromagnetism and the strong and weak nuclear forces. Electromagnetism has been fairly well understood for many decades. Recently, physicists have learned much more about the strong force, which binds the elements of atomic nuclei together, and the weak force, which governs radioactivity and hydrogen fusion.
Electromagnetism describes how particles interact with photons, tiny packets of electromagnetic radiation. In a similar way, the weak force describes how two other entities, the W and Z particles, interact with electrons, quarks, neutrinos and others. There is one very important difference between these two interactions: photons have no mass, while the masses of W and Z are huge. In fact, they are some of the most massive particles known.
The first inclination is to assume that W and Z simply exist and interact with other elemental particles. But for mathematical reasons, the giant masses of W and Z raise inconsistencies in the Standard Model. the Higgs boson.
The poles and electrical wires at the very edge of the tracks are part of a falling rock detection system. The regular switching and signal lines are behind the detector up farther on the side of the hill. The power lines an poles are still farther up on the hill. Before this system was installed rocks falling on the railroad line were a real problem. Still a bit of a problem but much better now.
Happy Telegraph Tuesday!
The approaching dawn bruises the sky above the RAF boneyard at Long Marston airfield. This is an English Electric Canberra light bomber, disappearing under a coating of moss and mold.
Night, 2 minute exposure. Full moon (though there was no moonlight filtering through the clouds), strong sodium vapor light, natural flashlight.

A bit of a redesign of a classic (brickset.com/sets/6877-1/Vector-Detector), which I whipped up a couple of months ago. It's not a very complex model but I'm pleased with the lines.

The Solenoidal Tracker at RHIC (STAR) is a detector which specializes in tracking the thousands of particles produced by each ion collision at RHIC. Weighing 1,200 tons and as large as a house, STAR is a massive detector. It is used to search for signatures of the form of matter that RHIC was designed to create: the quark-gluon plasma. It is also used to investigate the behavior of matter at high energy densities by making measurements over a large area.
Optics Lead Takashi Okajima prepares to align NICER’s X-ray optics. The payload’s 56 mirror assemblies concentrate X-rays onto silicon detectors to gather data that will probe the interior makeup of neutron stars, including those that appear to flash regularly, called pulsars.
The Neutron star Interior Composition Explorer (NICER) is a NASA Explorer Mission of Opportunity dedicated to studying the extraordinary environments — strong gravity, ultra-dense matter, and the most powerful magnetic fields in the universe — embodied by neutron stars. An attached payload aboard the International Space Station, NICER will deploy an instrument with unique capabilities for timing and spectroscopy of fast X-ray brightness fluctuations. The embedded Station Explorer for X-ray Timing and Navigation Technology demonstration (SEXTANT) will use NICER data to validate, for the first time in space, technology that exploits pulsars as natural navigation beacons.

We're going to detect all those pirate transmissions. Then we're gonna give them their own radio show.
Since the 1950's when sinister grey vans patrolling the streets could pinpoint an illicit television at your address, where you were watching it and what your were watching .. Today things are MUCH more sophisticated !!!
This figure shows four 0.6 - 2.5 µm James Webb Space Telescope NIRCam H2RGs mounted into a focal plan module. Each of the four detectors looks like the one shown in Figure 1. This figure shows the black optical baffle that admits light onto the four detectors while blocking it from hitting any surfaces that might reflect, such as the edges of a detector.

Detector is the Moscow based underground band that plays wild and loud rock music. Logo was chosen for the LogoLounge 6.
I now have a 3 day streak of having a detector catch something wrong on NBSR 120, and every on of those has happened at Welsford. Fortunately, those long delays have allowed for some unique locations to become available. Here 6407 leads 120 around 1 of the many curves along the road in Grand Bay - Westfield next to a beautiful oak tree.

It's the end of the slow season. The races have come and gone, and Bike Week passed. Spring Break is on, but not like it used to be. With all the cooler temps and wind lately, tourists haven't been on the beaches quite as much, and although this particular day was warm and beautiful, few people ventured out and it was one of those rare moments in a tourist town when locals can stroll along the seashore and enjoy just the sound of the gulls and ocean.
Soon, we'll be packed with snowbirds from the northern states and Canada. Bodies will line the dunes, in search attempts to get the perfect tan. Kids will be yelling and enjoying the beach for the first time. Old men will be up early and out at dusk with metal detectors, all hoping for buried treasure. I think they missed the point. You don't need a metal detector to find the real treasure here!
