Annual evals are an Air Force thing
They are big on tests and certifications
The Army used to do them but not much any more
We figure deploying and surviving is a passing grade
It is amazing how different each of the services are
Despite the Air Force having its roots in the Army it is probably the most different
This illustrates the rather dramatic difference between the dark- and light-blue amber fluorescence excited by a 368nm LED. Amongst all the amber I have examined (50 or so pieces), only one exhibited this dark blue response.
The dark blue spectrum resembles those of condensed polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH).
It has been suggested that the origin of the blue fluorescence in 'blue amber' is perylene. See
scitation.aip.org/getpdf/servlet/GetPDFServlet?filetype=p...
This amber can fluoresce blue in sunlight and is found in the Dominican Republic where it is called Dominican Blue Amber.
Thee blue PAH fluorescence has been seen in a circumstellar nebula:

Cassie Nova, the Nova's good clone in DYNASTY WARRIORS 8 Empires2018
I notice as I was looking through my characters photos, my MC(Main Character): William, his CG (Covergirl) wife: Wilma Sue and his MA (Main Antagonist): Victor all have a copy of themselves except for BCG ("Bad" CoverGirl) Nova who did not have one.
I decided to alter my character list and create Cassie Nova.
Her story,
Cassie Nova is the results of a fail attempt by Nova to have a "back-up" baby from Victor when she was a teen. The attempt fail creating a nonfunctioning embryo.
Royce, the father of my MA, when correcting Nova's body before her second battle with Victor's fiancée, created the baby clone of Nova from the dysfunctional embryo(A body replacement in case she failed to win).
Note: Royce's powers are equivalent to Marvel Comic's "Cosmic Cube" at the cost of losing much of his life force. EVERY time he exerts the power it shortens his life span.
When Nova left Earth, Nova's parents raised the baby after they were granted custody of the embryo.
Nova would later travel back in time, WITH PERMISSION, to visit her parents. When Nova learned of the teenage Cassie, Cassie was kidnapped by Nova from her "parents".
Failing to convert Cassie to join her "sister" and not having the heart to kill "herself", Nova gives Cassie to my MC's forces because Cassie was missing and NEVER found in the 24th Century(She cannot be returned to that timeline).
Cassie's first name comes from a maternal second cousin who paid for the original Nova's schooling.
I think it was their height difference that interested me. I liked how the light and shadows on their faces turned out.
The Strawberry Poison-dart frog, Oophaga pumilio is a type of poison dart frog found in Central America, with a high concentration within the nation of Costa Rica.
Oophaga pumilio is a species that exhibits a great deal of variation, comprising well over thirty different true-breeding color morphs. Aside from the obvious differences in coloring, morphs differ in habitat usage, size, vocalization, and degree of parental care. The "blue jeans" morph is the morph most popular among frog hobbyists and is generally depicted in most merchandise displaying O. pumilio. Most morphs of O. pumilio average between 18-20mm as adults.
The bright, aposematic warning colors displayed by O. pumilio are indicative of the presence of various toxins present in the frog's skin. These chemicals likely give the frog a bad taste, limiting predation. Oophaga pumilio does not possess any chemical capable of seriously harming humans, though a field worker described intense burning and mild swelling after getting skin secretions into a cut on his arm.[citation needed]
O. pumilio belongs to the Oophaga pumilio group, which consists of O. granuliferus, O. speciosus, and O. vicentei. The pumilio group is in turn closely related to the O. histrionicus group, which consists of O. histrionicus and O. duellmani. Collectively, this is referred to as the egg feeder group, due to their methods of parental care.
The Oophaga genus and the placement of this species into that genus is based on a study published in August, 2006 (Grant et al, 2006). Prior to that study, O. pumilio was classified as Dendrobates pumilio, and this previous classification is still the one most commonly used.
Make up your Mind to Make a Difference
We’ve made up our mind to make a difference and unleashing human potential is our mission. Here’s how we do it…The Philanthropy of TheDOJO through Project Based Leadership Training. If someone is looking to make a difference in our world a simple start is performing an act of kindness for a child (most likely it will be remember throughout their life). Donate a toy with us this holiday season, see how below.
20,000 Smiles
Last year TheDOJO Toy Drive raised 230 toys for Toys for Tots, a military organization who distributes the toys to children who are without. Last year 20,000 toys were handed out, that equates to 20,000 smiles of children. What better way to instill a sense of hope in a child’s heart than through compassion? Toys for Tots also donates, all throughout the year, toys to children in our locality that are victims of disasters such as storms and house fires.

That wasn't me being sarcastic. I really had a crush on our driver on one field trip! Also amusing. The boy in front of me writing the actual words "Naughty Words" on my notebook to flirt with me rather than writing actual naughty words.

Leica Singapore arranged for all photographers to test their S2 digital medium format. However, they also made it clear that everybody was free to use their own cameras. Most of us brought our own.
In my case, I brought along my M6 rangefinder together with a 50mm f/1.4 Summilux and shot with Kodak Gold iso 100.
The photos in this set are a mix of digital medium format and 35mm film. Just for fun, all shots were straight out of camera, with a bit of curves adjustment and cropping, at the most. No other sharpening or post processing was applied as I thought it will be interesting to compare the differences between:
1)Digital v film;
2)Medium format v 35mm;
3)Bokeh of 70mm medium format f/2.8 v 50mm f/1.4
Given a choice, and the fact that the S2+ 70mm costs close to 5 times more than a M7+50mm… what do you guys think?
Tema della settimana #9: difference.
Questa settimana la genesi della foto è stata davvero particolare, in quanto sto lavorando all'artwork per un album di un gruppo musicale...e siccome il tempo è sempre così poco, mi sono detto: "perchè non ideare qualcosa che unisca i due intenti?"
E così è nata questa foto, che in una versione diversa ed insanguinata costituirà la cover dell'album.
In questa versione, ho eliminato tutti i fronzoli (ad esempio i macabri schizzi di sangue ahuahauh) per sottolineare l'essenza dello scatto, cioè la differenza, l'antitesi, tra il fiore (per antonomasia dolce, soffice, gentile) ed il filo spinato che lo avvolge (cruento, doloroso e fatale)
Spero vi piaccia! =)

Percent difference calculator equals the absolute value of the change in value, divided by the average of the 2 numbers, all multiplied by 100. We then append the percent sign, %.Percent increase and percent decrease are measures of percent change, which is the extent to which a variable gains or loses intensity, magnitude, extent, or value. The figures are arrived at by comparing the initial (or before) and final (or after) quantities according to a specific formula. It is assumed that both the initial and the final quantities are positive (larger than 0).

When talking about beauty treatments and therapies, people often tend to confuse it with cosmetology. These are two entirely different concepts and need not be used interchangeably. Although both involve ‘cosmetic’ work and both drive towards enhancing beauty and aesthetics of appearance, there are many points of differences between the two.
Cosmetology involves more aesthetic implementations of beauty techniques, like styling, cutting, colouring, facials, expert manicures, pedicures, creating makeup looks, lash extensions, nail extensions, and so on. The concept revolves around anything that can be easily reversed and is more topical in nature. When learning cosmetology, the programs typically cover the outer areas of styling and grooming with knowledge of makeup and enhancement products. An Advanced Diploma in Cosmetology is what you should seek to become a job-ready cosmetologist.
More than 100 Soldiers, Civilians, Retirees and Family Members joined Korean volunteers today for the second annual Humphreys Make a Difference Day at Deog Dong San Park in Pyeongtaek.
The volunteers spent the morning picking up trash, raking leaves and conducting beautification projects under the watchful eyes of the Pyeongtaek City Parks and Greenbelt Management Division.
Following the work the volunteers enjoyed lunch, a performance by the ShinHan Middle School traditional dance team and a post-work awards ceremony.

Craftivism: Making a Difference in the World~ One Stitch at a Time
KnitLit group, spring 2011 Haverstraw Middle School, Haverstraw, NY
People are doing it. They are doing it on subways, in restaurants and on airplanes. They are doing it in baseball stadiums, movie theaters and in the park. They are doing Craftivism and everywhere you turn you can find people of all ages, races, creeds and religions participating in what has become a global phenomenon of making the world a better place- one stitch at a time.
The term “craftivism”, hybrid of the words craft + activism, was coined in 2003 by creator and knitter, Betsy Greer. It is a movement based upon the idea that a person’s time and talent can really make a difference in the world. Most craftivists are knitters and crocheters looking to find different and more meaningful ways to share their craft and it is being used to bring attention to a multitude of causes. Craftivists help to bring about positive change in the world through their skills.
Some of the causes targeted in the craftivism movement are environmentalism, anti-capitalism, anti-sweatshop, anti-war a well as various personal causes such as breast cancer awareness, literacy, homelessness, domestic violence and children born into poverty. Knitters and crocheters around the world participate in covert “yarn-bombing” escapades, mimicking graffiti street art only with hand knitted fabrics sewn around trees, light poles and statues using their art to beautify the things around them.
It is here that I introduce you to New Yorker Betsy Rodman, a fellow knitter and craftivist. Betsy is the founder of Project Scarf. Project Scarf is bringing knitters from all over the world to join in creating the world’s longest scarf. Separate sections of knitted scarves are sent in to and assembled by Betsy to form a larger scarf. What does one do with the world’s longest scarf, you might ask? When the project is complete, the sections will be disassembled and the individual scarves are distributed to various organizations to provide to help keep warm those who have little.
Betsy also founded the KnitLit program in her local school. This program teaches kids the skill of knitting. Squares are knitted and sewn together to form blankets which are also distributed to those in need. The kids involved in the program choose where to donate. However, this ain’t your grandma's knitting bee- these kids also listen to great books on audio and discuss them as they are knitting. Betsy has had tremendous success in her school and hopes to one day be able to bring KnitLit to schools across the nation. I got to ask Betsy a few questions about herself and her programs.

Comparing Short with Long Choy Sum.
For a batch of 400 gram Choy Sum:
1. Stirfry some chopped garlic, ginger & chiles. (a teaspoon each)
2. Add Choy Sum and strirfry for a minute or so. (I blanched the stems for a minute first, but I actually think it's not necessary.
3. Add mixture of
½ T cornstarch
½ T light soysauce
½ T oystersauce
½ T fishsauce
3 T water
Didn't notice much difference it taste, just in texture. The long version being more watery like bokchoy.

"The human nervous system evolved in an environment where seeing change -- the slightest difference in the surrounding environment -- could mean the difference between life and death. So it is not surprising that our most developed cultural forms are practices of the visual. But we didn't stop there. So much of life occurs outside the range of visible light. Through scientific tools and methods we have reached far beyond this narrow slice of the electromagnetic spectrum to colonize its full range, from radio waves and infrared to x-rays, gamma radiation and cosmic rays. Now existence in all its glorious complexity, from the dynamic division of living cells to the vastness and vibrancy of the entire universe, has been rendered accessible to our visual capacity. Meanwhile, the democratization of the means for making and sharing images in the cultural realm continues to explode exponentially. As cost approaches zero and access to image production and dissemination becomes universal, new possibilities begin to emerge. Our insatiable embrace of the image knows no bounds."

What a difference one week makes. Jet stream forecast; 11.01.2017. 15.00. High winds were obvious over the night and day but gentler than those preceding 12 hours earlier. Temperature at around 5 degrees this afternoon before the the influential, windchill factor so doesn't exactly feel comfortable.
"The jet stream consists of ribbons of very strong winds which move weather systems around the globe. Jet streams are found 9-16 km above the surface of the Earth, just below the tropopause, and can reach speeds of 200 mph."
