In this review, we shall briefly talk about one of the great achievement by Lenovo.
Two-Year “Overnight Success:” How Lenovo Engineers Plan to Cut Our Carbon Emissions
A quick look-up of the definition of breakthrough describes it as “a sudden, dramatic, and important discovery or development.” Breakthroughs are certainly dramatic and important. However, they are rarely sudden. Rather, they’re the result of years or even decades of incremental improvements, so much so that when they reach the tipping point they appear to have happened instantaneously. To think this about the new Low Temperature Solder process here would do a disservice to the dozens of Lenovo engineers who tirelessly searched for two years for a better way to manufacture PCs.

Implications of fine particle generation of respiratory virus.
www.infectioncontroltoday.com/personal-protective-equipme...
Currently US public health authorities say primary COVID-19 infection is by cough/sneeze production of droplets or contaminated surface then hand/nose/nouth transfer. Droplets settle very quickly, 5-10 seconds. They discourage masks and encourage distance and hand washing.
Fine aerosol, however can stay suspended in air for minutes to hours. In commercial establishments the particle clearance can be due to flushing the room volume several times with displacement outside air, typically 4 to 6 air changes per hour. Since flushing is usually not laminar flow, several volume changes might be necessary to get most of the suspended particles out. Non smokers can detect nearby fine particle smoking activities for quite some time after the smoker has left the room, for example. And when bicycling while being passed by a car with a smoker, you can sometimes smell the smoke long after the car has passed. We are sharing the air at much more than 6 feet.
So what would be the fine particle case for COVID-19? No one knows, but the case for a similar sized flu virus is known. US authorities are dismissing masks of any sort for COVID-19 public use and not encouraging DIY. So an interesting experiment is being run mainly depending on physical distancing while testing and contact tracing are both late and struggling. Meanwhile the only countries currently with a degree of control in new case rate are aggressive testers and practice mask discipline even on asymptomatic public.
Consider some math.
Flu virus size (not the aerosol particle size) approximately .08->.12 micron
COVID-19 virus size .1 micron (by TEM)
Some studies of flu virus fine particles produced from lung during breathing (and speaking):
Flu virus fine aerosol, production of particle sizes with long suspension times in air

Flu virus aerosol and surgical masks

Behind paywall article. Abstract says normal healthy breathing emits fine particles most less than a micron in size.

Even DIY filter masks can make a difference, in both directions protecting the wearer and protecting others. If mask wearing during a pandemic were practiced, the math is two attenuators in series. Filtration of fine particles is not by sieving (too much back pressure) but by multiple collisions and particle sticking to filter passage surfaces that form tortuous paths. There are many YouTube videos on DIY surgical masks for those lacking higher performance products.

In my area, the case count has doubled every 5 days for the last 15 days, the most recent report is 263 known cases in Santa Clara County. My radio scanner monitors the county EMS dispatcher radio...multiple times per hour, instances of difficulty breathing, or droplet and contact precautions advised. This interspersed with the more normally expected trauma, fall, unconscious, diabetic, chest pains, or stroke type dispatches. When I have to break shelter to resupply, the protection products I saved to deal with future wildfire smoke days will be put to good use.
A fox jupmed out in front of my vehicle in front of the neighborhood country club this evening. I was driving well under the posted limit - so I did not come close to hitting it. The video is sped up to 4x, while the fox portion is .125x.

Quick Sketch.
It started with her although at the time I did not realize it. Everyone who went up the unassuming stairs whose proper use was that of a fire escape, whether it was for the pyramids of high quality knock off purses or floating Pai-Gow games had to have a sponsor and as real names were never used, a sort of handle. Shadow weasel, too appropriate a name for Lee not to hate it, told me that I would have to play one game and loose intentionally as a sign of respect. I furrowed my brow but he told me not to worry I could play backgammon instead as he knew I only liked to watch the card games and then it was more for the people's face and body language than anything else. The Weasel introduced me to the man sitting at the head of a large round table, leaning back in the only chair with arms, the contrast in color between his nicotine yellow suit and the chair's wood making him seem to float. Giving and taking the currency of favors and information, He was everybody's "Uncle". I paid my respect and made just enough showing on the board so that I did not insult him by loosing too easily. He knew who I was there for and his eyes when not hiding behind a veil of cigarette smoke smiled. He personally walked me to the other room, showing me the bags and making conversation.
"Stray Cat will like this one, it is her color". The way the black of the leather caught the light, fluidic and yet solid at the same time reminded me of her hair as it pulled in the light. I nodded.
I could not just pick out my things and go as it would be an insult. I lingered as I was told beforehand would be necessary. The end of the night a woman whom I had been noticing watching me always from across the room approached and gave me a small red box. I looked at Weasel who had stayed close by me most of the night despite knowing me and that I would never make a social faux paus. He nodded and I opened the box, a small patina ed bronze tiger the size of a game piece. Weasel frowned as it was the type of name he would have preferred..... (W.Wolfson)
the lettering on this page was created using a set of alphabet stamps that i carved. when i went to stamp an alphabet sentence, i noticed there was an "s" left over.....i had stamped the sentence wrong! oops.
Banged out a quick one, since I think I'm becoming addicted to drawing Psylocke & Wolverine as a form of stress relief between the other stuff!
Since the other one went down so well, this one has become my semi-regular eBay auction too.
I took this shot because I'm amazed what some people will do to get your attention. I guess they got mine.
I'm thinking about quiting my day joy and going down there to see what kind of quick cash I can get from this place... I'll let you know how it goes.

“Be like the bird that, pausing in her flight awhile on boughs too slight, feels them give way beneath her, and yet sings, knowing that she hath wings.” - Victor Hugo
I wasn't going to post this one as I'm still trying to capture the ultimate photo of a bird (mainly Great Tits in my case) on the wing at my new bird table (see my Blog for more details) as the light is so bad at the moment. But I quite like the bokeh effect this has produced and the details of it's claws etc.
Watch this space, tomorrows weather looks promising so the shutter speed can go up. Have a nice weekend!
