Schools will be able to purchase additional licences, they will be charged for these on their next annual LGfL bill. Schools can request a quote for extra licences through the Adobe licence claim form.
How much are additional Adobe licences?
Quotes can be given through the Adobe Licence Request Form. This gives the users access to all the Adobe Creative Cloud apps both at school and at home.
I already have some licences that our school purchased directly, what happens to these?
These continue as per previously signed agreements, we can’t transfer licences into the new LGfL agreement and would need to continue to be managed on your current Adobe licence managemnet Console.
What is Creative Cloud Express (formerly Adobe Spark)?
Adobe Express for Education is a collection of creative tools that are aimed at younger users available online in a browser and as mobile apps. It makes it fast and easy for students and teachers to turn ideas into beautiful graphics, web stories, and video presentations. For more information, https://spark.adobe.com/edu
How do we get access to Creative Cloud Express?
Through the Adobe license claim form, the LGfL deal allows unlimited Spark licences for Schools, pupils and teachers.
Are device licences or shared device licences available?
The licenses available are Named User Licences. Schools can also purchase Shared Device Licences through LGfL without a minimum purchase quantity on the Adobe Licence Request Form.
We currently use (old) Device licences for Adobe, can we continue to use these?
Adobe products installed under a device licence cannot co-exist with Products installed under a named user licence on the same device. To switch from device licence to named user, all Adobe software needs to be removed and reinstalled, using the Name user licence package which is available through your school’s Adobe console once set up. It is possible to use Shared Device Licences and Named User Licences on the same machines.
We currently use Shared Device/Named User licences for Adobe, can we continue to use these?
Yes. Please contact Adobe for support managing the users across two Admin Consoles.
What are Named User licences?
The offer is on a “Named User Licence” basis, this means that everyone who wants to use the software requires an email address, and access to emails, as they will have to set their own password. Schools can use accounts with lgflmail.org or lgflmail.net domains, but this has to be requested via the Adobe Console.
Who will manage named users?
Schools will need to nominate 2 or more Adobe Administrators that will manage the user licences (adding users, removing users etc.) for their school.
Can the school use a generic user account and share them?
No, we can only set up named users, they can not be generic, and account can not be shared.
What if our pupils don’t have access to an email account?
G-Suite or Microsoft Office 365 email accounts could be used to create email account for students that want to access Adobe products.
Can I install and access Adobe software on a personal device?
Each user with a named user licence can install the software on multiple computers regardless of operating system. They can activate Adobe Creative Cloud on up to two computers and use the software on one computer at a time
How do staff and students log into more devices, if they can only activate 2 devices at a time?
The activation and deactivation process requires users to actively log out of Adobe Creative Cloud when they are finished using it on a shared PC, so that they are able to log into another PC.
How do I deploy the Adobe software?
Schools will need to decide the deployment model, create packages and deploy software to the devices. Please refer to the IT Admin page for further advice and resources. Once a user has been allocated a licence, they will be able to log into the Adobe Creative Cloud application and access the software from any device.
Can we use single sign to access Adobe Creative Cloud?
Single Sign On is possible and recommended for schools who have standardised on Microsoft Azure Active Directory or Google Cloud identity. In case the school is not using Microsoft of Google identifies, Enterprise IDs allows users to sign in using their school email account, but it will be a different password.
Are any technical changes required to access the software?
If your school is not using Azure AD Federation and Sync or Google Federation and Sync, a DNS entry needs to be added so the Adobe Creative Cloud service recognises your school domain. LGfL can support you with the domain verification process.
Our school or MAT has more than one email domain that students and teachers use.
It is possible to set up multiple email domains to be recognised by Adobe to allow users to login from different ones.
We already have an Adobe Console set up for our school for existing Adobe users, can we still access the licences?
Yes, LGfL can still set up your licences on the LGfL admin console and you will be given access to administer them. You will have to log into each Adobe Console separately. Please contact Adobe for support managing the users across two Admin Consoles.
Can Adobe Creative Cloud be installed in a thin client environment?
Adobe has conducted limited testing of some Creative Cloud products in virtualized or server-based environments, for more information.
Security and Privacy
Where is content stored?
User’s content is store in the Adobe Creative Cloud, so that it can be accessed from any logged in device. Each user has 2GB of cloud storage.
What do schools need to sign up for?
A senior member of school staff will need to sign an agreement that governs the use of the licenses within the school, this would most likely be the headteacher or a senior manager in a MAT residing over multiple schools.
Teaching and Support
Will schools get onboarding support?
You will be provided with resources covering the basics of the service and how to use the Adobe Admin portal, including some short videos to get you started. Once you have been given your login details and access to the Admin Console, LGfL Customer Service Team will send you the necessary links.
Is there technical support available?

Lounge Chair 42
After the construction of the building in 1912, the Auction Hall opens in the premises at Nybrogatan 11. The original intention was to organise quality auctions for art and antique furniture, but the idea was scrapped and the company switched to selling high-quality antique furniture. After a while, the shop's large space is supplemented by the sale of cars, creating the somewhat odd combination of selling antique furniture and modern cars under one roof.
However, car sales are discontinued when Anders Andersson's nephew Carl-Otto Heigard takes over the company in 1929. Instead, Heigard complements the furniture store with an art gallery and establishes the name Nordiska Galleriet in 1933 to reflect the new direction of the company. The company AB Nordiska Galleriet is registered in the same year, which is the limited company that still runs the business today.
In the 1940s, Carl-Magnus Heigard (Carl-Ottos Heigard's son) takes over the business and starts a renewal of the concept. In the 1950s, the "Danish era" begins at Nordiska Galleriet, starting with a famous exhibition of furniture by designers such as Nanna and Jörgen Ditzel, Jörgen Höj and Finn Juhl. In 1954, designer Jörgen Höj designs the new logo for the Nordic Gallery, which is the same logo used until 2017.
The tradition of exhibitions continues with the exhibition 'Inspiration -63' with Börge Mogensen, Hans J. Wegner, Jörgen Höj and others. The 'Viva l'Italia' exhibition in 1967, featuring Tobia Scarpa and others, where Cassina and B&B Italia were seriously introduced in Sweden, was a great success. At the end of the 1970s, an exhibition is presented in which the Eames couple launch their furniture in Sweden. In the same year, Tobia Scarpa also designed Nordiska Galleriet's self-produced Familjesoffan sofa, which can still be found at auction today.
In 1982, Carl-Magnus Heigard transfers the company to former store manager Anders Carnerud. The company continues with exhibitions and was visited by Giulio Cappellini and Antonio Citterio, among others, who later made big names for themselves in the world of design. In the latter part of the 1990s, the store undergoes extensive renovation, including the removal of the original floor from 1912. The chequered stone floor becomes a recognisable feature of the store with its characteristic pattern.
After 22 years as owner, Anders Carnerud is selling Nordiska Galleriet. The buyer is Olle Heigard, nephew of Carl-Magnus Heigard and thus a relative of the company's original founder Carl-Otto Heigard. The business will continue to be run in the same spirit as before, with a focus on strong brands, well-known designers and with modern design at the centre. In 2011, a showroom for Fritz Hansen will be opened with its own entrance from Riddargatan 7.
In 2016, Axel Söderberg buys the company, starting another era of renewal and modernisation of Nordiska Galleriet. With quality, knowledge and service in focus, much of the Nordiska Galleriet's former glory days are relaunched. The concept has been streamlined and today art from well-known artists once again hangs on the walls. Nordiska Galleriet is once again visited by famous designers, including Patricia Urquiola, who presented her new furniture collection for Cassina in spring 2017. The level of ambition has been raised and the aim is to create a world-leading destination store for a design-minded audience.
We hope you will join us on our journey. Now we are writing the next chapter of the NO-GA book together.

In his childhood memories, bursts of laughter echo
familiar faces flush with excitement,
playing those silly war games.
Running to hide from the enemy, armed and dangerous
with mudballs and water pistols.
On two legs.
Then at dusk, he darts from tree to tree,
until homebase is reached,
where warm baths and delicious food awaits.
His security banished, slipping through fingers like sand,
without a trace.
His hunger for knowledge about this war he fights
gnaws at him endlessly.
Out in the rainy, raw trenches, shooting with eyes squinted,
he traces his bullet in the air plunging deep into a friend's chest.
Dodging through the deadly hills, he comes upon the wounded soul.
Watching as a dirty tear streams down his face,
the wounded man makes an attempt to rise,
like awakening from a deep sleep,
but relentlessly his head jerks against the ground
and his mud corroded gun
with real bullets
slips out of touch.
Sneaking away from the barriers,
shadows of death in each step,
the smell of blood permeates his nostrils.
Suddenly, an inexpressible pain paralyzes his lower limbs
leaving him limp on the earth.
In a pool of crimson, muscles strain to drag himself away
into a trench where he helplessly screeches for help.
The war shows sorrow.
The war reflects pain.
The war pleads for martyrdom.
The war wins nothing.

Taking a cabin cruiser from Le Boat on a voyage down the Thames is an adventure of a different kind.
We’d been watching the weather forecast for a couple of weeks and everything was pointing towards a glorious week. We were going to explore the mid reaches of the River Thames. We’d been on boating holidays many times before, but this wasn’t the narrowboat we were used to.
Le Boat offer roomy, bright boats with all mod cons. Because the locks on the Thames are wider than those on the canals, the boats are correspondingly bigger and roomier.
Shopping For The Trip
So on our way to their base at Benson we did as recommended and made a stop at a supermarket in nearby Didcot. We stocked up on all the essentials we thought we’d need for our trip. There’s plenty of fridge space on board. So we were able to keep our food (and drinks) nice and cold for the duration.
However, as described above, this was an adventure. We didn’t know when we set off where we would be that night. We were just going to ‘wing it’ and see where we ended up. As it happened, we spent our first night a few miles downstream at Goring. Here we found free public moorings available just below the locks. It’s actually a good place to stop, close to pubs, restaurants and shops.
The boats are really easy to handle (drive). And with the luxury of a bow thruster, even novices can get to grips with the boats very quickly. It’s not exactly racing though, as we only ever get up to 5 miles per hour whilst cruising. It’s a sedate, easy pace which actually adds to the whole experience.
The diversity and quantity of wildlife makes the whole river cruise experience absolutely fascinating. The tranquility of the river, despite it passing through villages and towns never ceases to amaze. We spent part of a morning just watching the red kites soaring in the sky. Herons can be found perched motionless around almost every bend in the river and swans with their clutches of cygnets paddle around the boat when it’s moored in the hope of a little treat or two.
The most striking thing about our cruise was the silence. Despite being never more than a couple of miles from a town or village, the silence was striking. They say you never miss what you’ve never had. This could never be truer than when describing the silence of the rural riverbanks. It really is other-worldly in many ways.
Our boat, a ‘Tango’ had an outdoor deck space where, on the warmer evenings, we sat and ate our dinner al fresco watching the world go by. Even when the weather’s misbehaving, there’s plenty of room in the well-equipped saloon to enjoy a meal, drink, or whatever takes your fancy. There’s a shower and toilet on board, so it’s as close to a hotel stay as you could make it.
Nice and Easy
The boating community is a very friendly one. Offers of help with moorings, friendly waves in passing and chats with the lock-keepers all add to the very relaxed and laid-back feel to the holiday. Any apprehension that may exist before setting off soon disappears when you begin to realise how easy and ‘nice’ the whole experience is.
We continued to venture downstream, stopping off for extended meal breaks en route. Many of the pubs and restaurants have their own moorings, so you can literally just park up and step across for something to eat and drink. On one of the days we chose to stop for a lunch at the Swan in Pangbourne, a delightful olde-worlde pub just above Whitchurch lock.
Coming back upstream on the penultimate day of our trip we both agreed that it had been absolutely delightful. Would we do it again? Absolutely. It was a real breath of fresh air that actually makes you wonder what the merits of a foreign ‘package holiday’ really are. This is all picture-book stuff at a pace of your own choosing. It’s independence, privacy and freedom like you’d never experience at a hotel.
About Le Boat
Le Boat is the No.1 provider of inland water boating holidays, bringing together 50 years of experience, expertise and memories. It has a fleet of large self-drive cruisers, allowing entire families to stay on board and to explore their chosen region.
Le Boat and Covid-19
All Le Boat holidays by their nature are socially distanced and provide a great way to reconnect with loved ones and to make the most of the great outdoors. Holidaymakers are being reassured by Le Boat’s Covid Safety Charter, which was implemented last year and applies to all its destinations at home and abroad.
Boating holidays aboard a Tango are fun for a family or up to three couples. The big sundeck encourages relaxing and socialising, as does the grand saloon with radio/CD player and MP3/USB connectivity.
A four-night self-catered cruise on the River Thames during the 2021 boating season, starting and finishing at Le Boat’s base at Benson, on board a Capri sleeping up to four, is priced from £449 per boat / £150 pp. Transport to and from the base is not included.
Le Boat will operate on the Thames until 31 October 2021. Next year’s boating seasons starts on 1 April and concludes on 31 October 2022.

128 GB memory
At the start of 2021, Samsung presented the next series in their top line: the Galaxy S21 series. Among them is this Galaxy S21+ 5G 128GB Purple. Like its predecessors, this smartphone has excellent specifications, such as a triple camera setup.
It is also equipped with super fast hardware and a large battery, so you can enjoy its endless features all day long. It supports connection to the fast 5G network. All in all, this Samsung phone is a very good option for tech lovers!
With premium smartphones, the camera is usually one of the most important parts. This phone has three cameras on the back with which you can take very nice photos and videos. For example, it's possible to film in 8K quality.
The three lenses all have their own function, like zooming in three times without loss of quality with the telephoto lens. The ultra-wide-angle lens lets you capture wider subjects that might not normally fit in the frame, such as a group shot or a landscape.
The ‘normal’ black version already looks good, but with this purple device with (rose)gold accents you will really steal the show. It also has a flat screen and no rounded bezels like its predecessor.
Samsung has used Gorilla Glass 7 for the first time in this S21+ Purple, a hard and solid form of glass. This allows you to go longer without scratching your screen and you have to worry less about dropping it!
Samsung is known for its beautiful AMOLED displays and of course this S21+ is also equipped with it. The screen has a size of 6.7 inches. It has a refresh rate of 120Hz, making images look super smooth.
All these specifications require a lot of power, so a hefty battery capacity couldn't be lacking. Thanks to the 4800mAh battery, you have enough power all day long. Charging is super-fast thanks to Samsung Super Fast Charging technology and can be done wired or wirelessly.
The Samsung Galaxy S21+ 5G 128GB Phantom Violet is equipped with the Exyons 2100 processor. This was developed by Samsung itself and ensures powerful performance. All demanding tasks can be performed quickly and energy efficiently.
The Samsung Galaxy S21+ 5G 128GB G996 Purple does not come with a charger. Check whether you have a compatible charger at home. Or order a charger.
2 year Samsung warranty
With normal use, we guarantee that your phone will work properly throughout the full warranty period. If something goes wrong, Gomibo.co.uk and Samsung will make sure to help you out!

Migrant Bodies-Moving Borders is being presented at the Polish Dance Platform 2019
7 September 2019 (Saturday)
12:00–13:30 – panel discussion: Dance within Civil Society Contexts
Venue: European Solidarity Centre
It is no coincidence that the panel discussion “Dance Within Civil Society Contexts” takes place in
Gdańsk in the European Solidarity Centre. Gdańsk – the City of Freedom and openness to diversity
is the first city in Poland where the Council for Equal Treatment and the Council for Immigrants
and a model of their integration were created. Gdańsk also sees dance as one of the tools for
building a society rooted in tolerance and solidarity and having relations based on respect for
differences. The speakers invited by us will present methods and tools for working with social and
ethnic minorities and disadvantaged groups; these methods and tools enable, through dance, to
integrate these groups into a broader public discourse.
Migrant Bodies-Moving Borders is being presented in Tunisi these days
From 2 till 7 September 2019 Migrant Bodies -Moving Borders will be part of the Ecole d’Ete sur la Migration in Tunisi
The Premiere of BABEL took place at La Briqueterie, 22nd June 2019.
The choreography became a weaving of the finest gestures. A human organisation of no words but a shared movement vocabulary in order to maintain a delicate balance. A cooperation process at work, an example of caring, sharing the weight and the responsabilities. A beautiful silent choreography.
Under the sun, BABEL comes to its final form at La Briqueterie in Vitry-sur-Seine.
The group of participants have been working for three days with Jordi Gali to find a common rhythm in order to elevate the tower from the ground up. A delicate choreography that requires tuning in, group focus and awareness, where each personn takes care of the balance of the whole structure.
Let’s see how this subtle work will flourish in tonight presentation!

It was the end of an era in Chelsea, where one of the trendy area’s most popular restaurants closed after 28 years.
Family-owned L’Antico, in King’s Road near Chelsea FC’s Stamford Bridge stadium, is a favorite hangout spot for celebrities including Olympic gold medalist Lord Coe, designer Stephen Bayley and former England manager Roy Hodgson.
Its owner, Francesco D’Alessio, told me the proposed huge rent increase was to blame. “Rent used to be £78,000, but they are proposing to increase it to £100,000,” he said. ‘Now they’ve got their own real estate agent to sell the place.’
D’Alessio adds: ‘There is so much history and all the famous people. But things are growing and that’s becoming impossible.’

Hewitt embarks on a courageous journey to save Ukrainians
James Hewitt may have been hoping to hit the Alps at the first sign of snow and snowboard to enjoy the thrill of the downhill.
But not this Christmas: instead, he is intent on creating a very different adrenaline rush.
I can reveal that the 64-year-old former Household Cavalry officer – notorious since selling the story of his five-year affair with Princess Diana – is driving thousands of miles through Ukraine to rescue civilians displaced by Russian artillery.
The mission is on-going for Help4Ukraine, a group founded by writer and campaigner Lord Monson to deliver ambulances, aid and get those in need to safety.
James Hewitt may have been hoping to hit the Alps at the first sign of snow and snowboard to enjoy the thrill of the downhill. But not this Christmas: instead, he intends to create a very different adrenaline rush
‘James Hewitt is not here for personal glory,’ Nicholas Monson, 67, told me at the launch party of Rory Knight Bruce’s memoir, An Unanchored Heart. ‘He is doing good work for the cause and will be in another run before Christmas.’
Hewitt, who teamed up with former Coldstream Guard officer Mikey Stewart-Richardson before joining Help4Ukraine, is fully aware of the challenges ahead.
In his first public statement about Help4Ukraine, he explains that each mission begins in Lviv, where the convoy — ‘four vehicles: two drivers in each’ — is filled with ‘hospital beds and equipment. essential medical care’, before embarking on a grueling journey east.
Hewitt aims to return by Christmas – to be reunited with the woman in his life. Monson told me: ‘He has to take care of his mother’
“We covered 2,500 miles in three days,” he said of his final mission, when the convoy arrived within six miles of the nuclear power plant in Zaporizhzhia, still in Russian hands. They took the ’36 refugees on board — [and] a cat and a dog’.
Among them is teacher Irene, who has been living underground for more than a month, with no fresh water, no electricity, no heating, no cooking gas, no clean clothes. Her apartment was destroyed.
‘She’s smart, polite and incredibly grateful that she can finally experience freedom.’

MAMMA MIA! Abba star Bjorn Ulvaeus is begging dedicated bands to stop using Swedish accents. “That’s the only thing I don’t like very much, when people sing Abba,” said the 77-year-old musician. “Because we don’t have a Scandinavian accent – or not pronounced like theirs.”
Gardeners’ World star Peter Seabrook has been quietly building a fortune. The horticulturist, who died in January at the age of 86, left behind £1.65 million. Probate documents reveal that Seabrook left a total estate of £2.9m before his debts were paid.
His estate will be divided among his two children. He had planned to leave most of his fortune to his wife Margaret, but she passed away from Covid-19 in 2020.
Sir Rod Stewart is mourning the death of his second brother for the next few months. Singer Maggie May announced yesterday that Bob has passed away, having split from Don, 94, in September. Sir Rod, 77, said: “I am deeply saddened to announce the death of Bob’s brother. me last night, who played with my brother Don on the wonderful ballpark in the sky. of two months. RIP Irreplaceable Friends.’
Bad holiday for Lady Branson
He’s ballooned over oceans, skydived parties, gone into space — and kite-surfed with a nude female model.
But while 72-year-old Sir Richard Branson shows no signs of being on the slow track, his wife, Joan, has no choice.
“She had an accident in London recently,” Branson told my New York spy at the premiere of his new documentary series, Branson.
Branson has been hospitalized for six weeks with a severe broken leg after falling off the sidewalk while holding two grandchildren, he added. “She’s recovering,” he insisted.
Sounds like kitesurfing would be safer.

Seldom has a debut single seduced so many, for so long. Two years since its release, In The Valley Below's "Peaches", which was first picked up by European alternative radio, continues as an international airwaves staple "" testament to the enduring viral power of its sunny yet smoldering songcraft and celebratory surrender to mutual attraction.
In The Valley Below "" Angela Gail and Jeffrey Jacob "" meld harmony-laden folk-country Americana, adventurous art rock, squelchy synth pop and woozy blues into something altogether different: stylistically elusive, yet oddly inclusive. Her loaded purr cajoling his weathered inflections, they craft gauzily compelling music at once introverted and all-embracing.
A small-town girl from Michigan, Gail discovered songwriting while holed-up on an even smaller Caribbean sailboat. A thousand miles away in Memphis, Jacob was inhaling Link Wray's ragged rebellion and the darker side of Phil Collins and Peter Gabriel. In The Valley Below was born one Texas night when the pair, performing at SXSW in an experimental L.A. rock band, recognized their rare on-stage connection. Back in California, they plunged into collaboration with twin-like telepathy and a feverish, fated chemistry
Though never intended as a gigging band, ITVB's genre-ambiguous, dreamily accessible expressions traveled well, inducing tireless touring. High-profile stops included England's Reading and Leeds festivals, Rock en Seine in Paris, The Late Show with David Letterman, and Conan. They shared their journey with the likes of The Airborne Toxic Event, White Lies, Cold War Kids, and Robert DeLong.
In The Valley Below's debut album, The Belt, is a mysterious, mesmerized and relentlessly melodic record that bares powerful tales of lust, loss and faith like open wounds, while hinting at hidden meanings. Opening with "Peaches", it also births the huge, hands-aloft hooks of "Neverminders" and "Stand Up". The deliciously lingering deathbed farewell of "Hymnal" and lived-in, love-in nostalgia of "Take Me Back" lend a throbbing urgency to the insistent, intravenously wanton "Palm Tree Fire".
Self-written and produced, two of The Belt's 11 songs were also mixed by Gail and Jacob, with others handled by John Congleton (St. Vincent, David Byrne), Pete Min (Airborne Toxic Event), Lasse MÃ¥rtÃ©n (Lykke Li, Peter, Bjorn & John), and Dave Sardy (Oasis, Band of Horses).
Personified by "Peaches"' sunlight-through-the-eyelids abandon and cult-ish caress, The Belt is that most elusive of records: arcane, authentic, and effortlessly resonant across cultures and eras. Though the duo's bond is uniquely theirs, we are all In The Valley Below.

Trashmouth Records announce 10 year anniversary remix album
Trashmouth Records are celebrating their 10 year anniversary with a remix album of some of the label’s favourite tracks from their extended family of artists.
The remixes, which feature reworks of songs from Warmduscher, Fat White Family, Lee Scratch Perry and Madonnatron, were crafted by label bosses brothers Liam & Luke May and will be accompanied by a visual history of the label through the vinyl artwork, which gathers photos of the now legendary Trashmouth nights at the Brixton Windmill.
Trashmouth Records are the original instigators of the “South London Scene”, having discovered and released debut LPs from the likes of Fat White Family, Warmduscher, Meatraffle, Madonnatron and more. The label have put out records by bands that no one else would touch with a 10-foot pole and have not only lived to tell the tale, but proved to have been visionary in their blind faith.
In the words of Warmduscher frontman Clams Baker, “When I think of the South London music-scene, I immediately think Windmill, Fat White Family, and Trashmouth Records, then I forget what I was thinking about thanks to the last 10 years they are celebrating! Very blessed and honoured to be a part of it. Long live the hustle, I can’t wait to see what they think of next.“

When I heard about Rent the Runway‘s new campaign to use real women as models, I was immediately in love with the idea. As a fashion blogger, I love getting outfit inspiration from other real girls, which I why I think it makes perfect sense for a site like Rent the Runway to show their clothes on actual customers.
In case you’re not familiar with Rent the Runway, it is a website where you can rent the perfect luxury/designer dress for that special occasion. It’s so great for young women like me who are on a budget, but still want to be able to afford a fabulous dress.
When I shop online, I like to google the particular clothing item to see what it might look like on a real person. Now that Rent the Runway has decided to use customer photos on their website, that saves me the trouble of searching for those photos myself! Check out the adorable little clip below to learn more about the campaign- Our Runway!

When Eu3+ ions in aqueous solution are excited from 7F1 state to 5D0 state with a pulsed dye laser, the population of Eu3+ ions in the 7F1 state decreases temporarily due to the slow decay of the 5D0 state. The magnitude of transient photoacoustic signal from absorption of light by water and Eu3+ ions was found to decrease when the dye laser wavelength was tuned to the transition. This anomalous photoacoustic effect is attributed to the fast thermal equilibrium between 'cold' Eu3+ ions and ambient water molecules.

WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) -- The U.S. House passed a bill Wednesday requiring tough reforms at giant mortgage companies Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, but the White House opposes the legislation, and the fate of a similar bill in the Senate is in doubt.
The bill creates a new regulator for the companies, with the power to adjust minimum-capital and risk-based capital standards for the two companies. The new regulator would also approve new programs and business activities at both companies as well as the 12 federal home-loan banks, known collectively as government-sponsored enterprises, or GSEs.
The vote in the House was 331 to 90.
"The legislation passed today by the House of Representatives is an important step forward and represents strong legislation that will strengthen the safety and soundness oversight of our company and the GSEs," said Fannie Mae spokesman Chuck Greener.
Affordable housing fight
Lawmakers spent the morning wrangling over a provision that prohibits certain nonprofit community groups from receiving any money from an affordable-housing fund contained in the bill. That measure requires Fannie and Freddie to direct 3.5% of their profits to affordable housing projects with a priority on areas hit by Hurricanes Katrina and Rita.
But housing groups that also conduct nonpartisan voter registration or get-out-the-vote drives won't be eligible for the affordable-housing dollars. Republicans pushed through a broader measure containing that restriction on a 210 to 205 vote.
"It is outrageous," said House Minority Whip Steny Hoyer, D-Md., that Congress would take "any action that would inhibit or prevent anyone from engaging in nonpartisan voter registration."
Enactment of a bill reforming the companies still appears far off, analysts said. The Senate Banking Committee approved a bill July 28 that requires strict limits on the amount of mortgage portfolios the huge companies may hold.
"I continue to believe that there are core elements that must be included in any GSE regulatory reform bill," said Senate Banking Committee Chairman Richard Shelby, R-Ala., said in a statement Wednesday.
The White House and outgoing Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan have backed the Senate's version. Greenspan has said the roughly $1.5 trillion in mortgages held by the companies poses a risk to the country's financial system.
Lawmakers defeated an amendment by Rep. Ed Royce, R-Calif., that would have let the companies' new regulator require Fannie and Freddie to sell or buy assets to offset market trends.
Under the House bill, the new regulator could also wind down the companies in the event of a financial crisis, just as a banking regulator may close a bank.
"It is time for a new regulator who can prevent problems from developing and take swift action if the problems arise, thus ensuring that the housing market and financial system remain strong," said House Financial Services Committee Chairman Michael Oxley, R-Ohio, the bill's chief sponsor.
White House criticizes bill
The Bush administration criticized the House bill Wednesday as lawmakers debated it, and Treasury Secretary John Snow reiterated a call for limits on retained mortgage-investment portfolios. Snow said in a speech to the Center for National Policy that limiting the portfolios won't hobble would-be home buyers.
"We believe that our capital markets will readily adjust without any loss in mortgage availability," he said in prepared remarks.
Fannie and Freddie prop up the nation's housing market by buying loans and mortgages from banks and repackaging them as mortgage-backed securities. Chartered by the government, their stock and debt are traded publicly and held by investors worldwide.
But both companies have endured bruising accounting scandals that have resulted in shake-ups of top management. Fannie Mae might have to state a $10 billion correction after regulators last year found the company broke bookkeeping rules. Chief Executive Daniel Mudd said the company's restatement of earnings back to 2001 may take until the second half of 2006.
Freddie Mac, meanwhile, restated $5 billion in earnings in 2003.
Fannie's stock has been slammed in the absence of a resolution of its accounting problems. It has slumped 23% in the third quarter alone.
The scandals sharpened lawmakers' scrutiny of the companies. The House Financial Services Committee passed a bill July 14 by a vote of 65 to 5.
The House debate comes only two days after President Bush nominated Ben Bernanke to succeed the retiring Greenspan at the helm of the Federal Reserve. Bernanke has echoed Greenspan's warnings that the size and complexity of the portfolios held by the companies may endanger the financial system and put the taxpayer on the hook.
Given the multiple responsibilities of the Fed chairman, analysts don't see Bernanke immediately taking a vocal stance on the Fannie and Freddie reform efforts.
Meanwhile, the White House's line about the companies needing a tough new regulator is unlikely to change, according to Susquehanna Financial Group analyst Crystal Skinner.

As such it may do what you reported. The video card and 4000 don't have dedicated video memory so again, it falls short on gaming. You might have to try setting all games to lowest settings to match this pretty low entry level hardware.
Hi everyone, I have an asus laptop with a 610m nvidia graphics card and a intel HD 4000 graphics card. I dont exactley know when either one of them is running. But I could play games like l4d2, cs go, and chivalry. Now they crash all the time saying I dont have enough video ram. Is there a solution to this? Or is my nvidia graphics card broken or something? I already tried switching between them with the nvidia configuration panel, didnt work though.

HOW COVID-19 SPREADS
COVID-19 is thought to spread mainly through close contact from person-to-person. Some people without symptoms may be able to spread the virus. We are still learning about how the virus spreads and the severity of illness it causes.
For more information, visit the CDC
(The CDC website is offered in multiple languages)
PROTECT YOURSELF & OTHERS
Getting vaccinated and boosted is the best way to reduce your risk of COVID-19. Here are other steps you can take to slow the spread:
According to the CDC, people with COVID-19 have had a wide range of symptoms reported – ranging from mild symptoms to severe illness. Symptoms may appear 2-14 days after exposure to the virus.
IF YOU FEEL SICK
Fully vaccinated persons who meet criteria will no longer be required to quarantine following an exposure to someone with COVID-19, per CDC guidance.
Monitor your symptoms and seek emergency care immediately if your illness is worsening (e.g., difficulty breathing, inability to stay awake, bluish lips or face).
MENTAL HEALTH SUPPORT
Whatever you're going through, you don't have to go through it alone.
Mental health support comes in many forms. Call Counseling & Psych Services (CAPS) at (520) 621-3334.
If you’re feeling alone or struggling, text TALK to 741741 or call 1-800-274-TALK. More information on Crisis Resources & Hotlines.
Health & Wellness
You had a recent close contact (within 6 ft for a total of 15 minutes or more over a 24-hour period) with someone who has recently tested positive for COVID-19, or is experiencing symptoms of COVID-19 infection.
People who are considered close contacts are supposed to quarantine and get tested for the coronavirus.
The University of Arizona is actively tracking COVID-19 positive-test cases in our community to protect public health while taking great care to respect the privacy of individuals. All positive COVID-19 tests are reported to their local health department per state law. Through a partnership with the state and local health departments, the UA SAFER team has been trained and authorized to start the case investigations and contact tracing for faculty, staff and students associated with The University of Arizona.
Here is what else we are doing:
- Posting confirmed aggregate COVID-19 positive-test case numbers among University of Arizona community members on the COVID-19 Testing Results Dashboard. This number reflects students, faculty and staff who have a confirmed positive lab test.
- Providing guidance on how students, faculty and staff can inform their close contacts of their positive COVID-19 result to limit its potential spread. Individuals know their contacts best and can communicate this information rapidly to alert them.
- Informing the campus community of potential exposures that take place on campus or through University of Arizona official business functions. These general exposure notices are in the interest of public health but protect the privacy of individuals by not including names of positive-test individuals.
- Encouraging all students, staff and faculty to download the Covid Watch Arizona Exposure Notification App.
Please note that with COVID-19 in our community, the best way to prevent illness is to avoid being exposed to this virus. You can take steps to slow the spread.
We ask that everyone act with compassion and respect the privacy of members of our community who may have tested positive for COVID-19.
No. Cold water with soap is just as effective at removing germs during hand washing.
According to the CDC, the “temperature of the water does not appear to affect microbe removal; however, warmer water may cause more skin irritation and is more environmentally costly.”
Yes! Please download, print and post the following:

All COVID testing for symptomatic students/employees must be ordered by a medical provider, which will generate a visit charge. Campus Health will secure payment at the time of service and bill insurance plans with which we are contracted or directly to the patient. Coverage of the cost varies by insurance company and plan.
Quarantine is used to keep someone who might have been exposed to COVID-19 away from others.
Isolation is used to separate people infected with the virus (those who are sick with COVID-19 and those with no symptoms) from people who are not infected.
For more information on quarantine and isolation, visit the CDC (this website is available in multiple languages)
If you are a University Arizona located outside of Pima County, please refer to your local county health department if you are concerned about potential symptoms of COVID-19 or would like additional information. For example, the Maricopa County Public Health Department is the contact for students residing in Phoenix.
Getting vaccinated is the best way to reduce your risk of COVID-19. You can take other steps to slow the spread:
- Maintain good physical distance (about 6 feet). This helps protect ourselves and others from exposure, decreases the strain on our healthcare system, and ultimately save lives.
- Wash your hands often with soap and water. If soap and water are not available, use a hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol.
- Cover your mouth and nose with a cloth face covering when around others.
- Routinely clean and disinfect frequently touched surfaces.

Plans developed by electric utilities in the West foresee large-scale development of renewable resources like solar and wind power in the future. This is consistent with the results of analyses the Council’s power planning staff has conducted in developing the 2021 Power Plan, which the Council expects to release in draft for public comment in August.
This is also a much different future for the West Coast and Northwest power supply than was envisioned by the Council in its last – and still current – power plan in 2016. At that time, the resource strategy to meet future demand for power in the power plan was driven largely by least-cost energy efficiency with only a modest development of renewable power. However, the energy world has changed drastically since then. Today, the new energy future is influenced by clean-energy policies, the retirement of a significant number of coal-fired generators, uncertainty about the role of new natural gas-fired generation, and the decrease in cost of utility-scale solar and wind generators.
As a reference check against its own analyses, the Council’s power planning staff reviewed the integrated resource plans (IRPs) of West Coast electric utilities to see what they identify as near-term generation needs. An IRP is a utility’s roadmap to help understand and plan for future resource needs.
Utility IRPs and the Council’s power plan have different views of the future. The Council’s plan is a least-cost, least-risk resource strategy for the entire Northwest; an IRP is developed by a utility to meet the anticipated demand of its customers. The Council updates its regional plan every five years, and utility IRPs usually are revised every two years or so. But the Council’s plan does include a forecast of West-wide wholesale electricity prices and that forecast is informed by extensive feedback from many utilities in the West.
Gillian Charles, senior policy analyst in the Council’s Power Planning Division, discussed the results of her review of IRPs at the June Council meeting. She said the IRPs she reviewed represent about 70 percent of electricity sales in the United States portion of the Western Electricity Coordinating Council region (the WECC region is the area west of the Continental Divide including Baja California, Mexico, and Alberta and British Columbia). She said the IRPs come to largely the same conclusions as analyses for the 2021 Power Plan. For example, the IRPs show a significant, near-term need for new resources – primarily solar, wind, and solar plus energy storage. Some standalone, short-term (two to four hours of discharge) battery storage was identified, and a smaller amount of energy storage that can discharge for eight to twelve hours, such as pumped-storage hydropower facilities.
The IRPs also showed a modest amount of new natural gas generation, some of which was identified in the Pacific Northwest. In addition, utilities are exploring utilizing existing or new combustion turbines powered by alternative fuels such as biodiesel and hydrogen, she said. Council staff will continue to track IRPs as new editions are developed, Charles said.

Now this was a fun little episode.
Before I get started, allow me a minute or two to gush about this episode's writer, Ira Steven Behr. Possessing the best goatee this side of the mirror universe, Behr is one of the unsung heroes of Star Trek and doesn't really get enough credit for his contribution to the franchise. As a producer during the third season he prevented tensions escalating between Michael Piller and the show's writer staff, who were still loyal to previous showrunner Maurice Hurley, and helped to craft 'Yesterday's Enterprise', one of the finest episodes of Trek ever produced. When Piller was planning to leave after that season he suggested Behr replace him, but he turned down the offer and left the show. He returned to the fold to work as a producer on Deep Space Nine, eventually becoming head writer, overseeing what I personally think are the five finest seasons of Star Trek ever produced.
But before all that, Behr briefly returned to Next Gen to pen this delightfully silly episode, a superior sequel to 'Captain's Holiday', which he also wrote. Amoral tomb raider Vash has come crashing back into Picard's life, at the exact same time that Q has decided to stop by to do something nice for Picard. Never rains but it pours, eh Jean Luc? Before you can say "men in tights" everyone is zapped to Sherwood Forest for good old fashioned adventure and swashbuckling. How exactly do you swash a buckle? That word never made much sense to me.
'Qpid' could've easily been nothing more than a nice bit of fluff, but Behr is smart enough to know that sillies does not automatically mean a lack of substance. As much fun as the Sherwood adventure was (and it was immensely fun), my favourite part of the episode was everything that preceded it. This allowed us the opportunity to see Picard as the nervous boyfriend, unsure how to behave in front of everyone with Vash around. How adorable was it that he made sure no one was watching when he visited Vash's quarters?
Picard is, as Vash is repeatedly told, "a very private man". He is someone who works hard to keep his work and personal lives completely separate. He never hangs around Ten Forward when he's off duty, and never attends the weekly poker game. He is friendly with his senior staff, but still keeps them all at arm's length, with the notable exception of Beverly, but even she wasn't told about Vash. Part of the reason for this is because Picard believes he must hold himself to higher standard in front of the crew. If they are to have absolute confidence in him and his decisions they must see see him as more than just a man. They can't see the vulnerable side of the him, the romantic side, the side of him that has a thing for bad girls like Vash.
This is why Q sends him to Sherwood, to act out one of the most famous love stories of all time. This is the Q I like, the one who isn't just annoying everyone because he's bored, but because he wants to teach Picard a lesson in his own unique way. I'm just not entirely sure what that lesson was. If it was to stop being so closed off and let Vash, and everyone else, know how you really feel, then it is made redundant by the ending. Having Q leave and take Vash was the wrong way to end things as it negates any need for character growth on Picard's part. I know that this was just the way that Star Trek was made back then, with everything resetting at the end of the episode, but that doesn't make it any less frustrating.
Notes and Quotes
--At one point it was proposed to set this episode in Camelot rather than Sherwood Forest, but Behr thought it would be boring.
--Riker has some seriously cheesy pick up lines.
--Marina Sirtis and Gates McFadden were both annoyed that only the men were allowed to use swords as they were the only members of the cast who were trained fencers.
Q: "Well, don't just stand there. Say something."
Picard: "Get out of my chair!"
Picard: "Vash! How did you get in here?"
Vash: "I came in through the window."
Worf: "Nice legs... for a human."
Picard: "I've just been paid a visit from Q."
Riker: "Q? Any idea what he's up to?"
Picard: "He wants to do something nice for me."
Riker: "I'll alert the crew."
Worf: "Sir, I protest! I am not a merry man!"

If you hear gunfire down by Zuccotti Park this weekend, DON'T PANIC! It's probably not protesters fighting over the newly-installed porta potties. The Dark Knight Rises is back to filming in Manhattan on and around Wall Street this weekend—and according to DNAInfo, they've posted notices around the neighborhood to let people know they'll be using fake gunfire.
"The scenes we will be filming will have simulated gunfire and automatic weapon fire," the notice from Subconscious Productions said. The filming will take place on Saturday and Sunday from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m.—affected blocks include parts of Wall Street, Broadway, Beaver Street, William Street, Broad Street, Pine Street, Pearl Street, Water Street, Front Street, Old Slip and Battery Place.
The movie shoot shifted to Newark this past week, where stars Anne Hathaway (in costume as Catwoman) and Christian Bale were both spotted; a Batwing was also seen on a rooftop in Manhattan. Even if you didn't get cast as an extra, there's still one other way you can participate in the blockbuster movie: composer Hans Zimmer is asking anyone interested to help him create “the sound of a worldwide chant” for the film’s soundtrack by recording themselves at this website. As the AV Club points out, the chant kind of sounds like..."dishy possum."

An Amazon Best Book of 2020
A thrilling and addictive new novel--a prequel to The Pillars of the Earth--set in England at the dawn of a new era: the Middle Ages
"Just as transporting as [The Pillars of the Earth] . . . A most welcome addition to the Kingsbridge series." --The Washington Post
It is 997 CE, the end of the Dark Ages. England is facing attacks from the Welsh in the west and the Vikings in the east. Those in power bend justice according to their will, regardless of ordinary people and often in conflict with the king. Without a clear rule of law, chaos reigns.
In these turbulent times, three characters find their lives intertwined. A young boatbuilder's life is turned upside down when the only home he's ever known is raided by Vikings, forcing him and his family to move and start their lives anew in a small hamlet where he does not fit in. . . . A Norman noblewoman marries for love, following her husband across the sea to a new land, but the customs of her husband's homeland are shockingly different, and as she begins to realize that everyone around her is engaged in a constant, brutal battle for power, it becomes clear that a single misstep could be catastrophic. . . . A monk dreams of transforming his humble abbey into a center of learning that will be admired throughout Europe. And each in turn comes into dangerous conflict with a clever and ruthless bishop who will do anything to increase his wealth and power.
Thirty years ago, Ken Follett published his most popular novel, The Pillars of the Earth. Now, Follett's masterful new prequel The Evening and the Morning takes us on an epic journey into a historical past rich with ambition and rivalry, death and birth, love and hate, that will end where The Pillars of the Earth begins.

Singer-songwriter Jericho Noguera today shares his enchanting new jazz-flecked single ‘Lips Are Blue’, a warm and fuzzy slow jam with hints of psychedelia. Jericho is a Year 6 Future Bubbler, the development programme part of Gilles Peterson’s Brownswood Recordings, where he was able to work with some current jazz superstars that’s coming out of South London right now, for instance Harvey Grant (Puma Blue, Joy Crookes), Charlie Millar (Lianne La Havas, Oscar Jerome), and the Brownswood team (Nubya Garcia, Skinny Pelembe). His latest track, ‘Lips Are Blue’ pays homage to some of these sounds.
Jericho comments, “I’ve been settling into my sound during my time on the Future Bubblers program. I’ve been able to experiment with blending hints of psychedelia into the roots of the blossoming jazz revival in London.”
Growing up in Cheltenham on the sounds of Jeff Buckley, Steve Reich, Bill Withers, Tom Yorke, and taking influence from contemporary musicians such as Steve Lacy and Kaytranada, led Jericho to bring his own touch to his jazz surroundings, aided by his ability as a multi-instrumentalist. Now based in Birmingham, Jericho offers up ‘Lips Are Blue’, a chill-out track with serene saxophone, hazy guitar licks and understated vocal schmooze. The single cements Jericho’s contemporary sound yet adds freshness and originality.
‘Lips Are Blue’ is out now on DMY.

With Ukraine and Russia seemingly on the verge of war, Americans are unhappy with how President Joe Biden is handling the situation.
According to recent polling, a majority of Americans disapprove of how Biden is handling the situation with Russia and his foreign policy moves in general.
The Russia-Ukraine crisis began late in 2021 when Ukraine announced that Russia was massing troops at its border with plans for an offensive at the beginning of this year.
Throughout December and January, Biden warned Russian President Vladimir Putin that if Russia invaded Ukraine, there would be economic repercussions from the West. He also assured Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy that the U.S. would respond decisively if Russia did invade.
However, in a Jan. 19 news conference, the president gave Russia what some called a “green light” to invade with minimal consequences.
“It’s one thing if it’s a minor incursion and then we end up having a fight about what to do and not do,” he said.

Russia denied any hostile motives in its troop moves but demanded that NATO stop all military activity in eastern Europe and never accept Ukraine as a member of the treaty organization.
The tensions eventually led to NATO and the U.S. putting troops on standby in eastern Europe and the Bush administration saying NATO will keep its “open door” policy for member nations.
Throughout February, tensions have risen. This week, Putin signed a decree recognizing two breakaway pro-Russian states in Eastern Ukraine as independent countries and ordered so-called peacekeepers into those territories.
In the midst of this international crisis, Americans are not happy with Biden.
In the Morning Consult/Politico survey, 45 percent of respondents said they disapproved of how Biden was handling the crisis, compared with just 40 percent who approved. Sixteen percent said they didn’t know or had no opinion.
In a separate question, the pollster said, “If the conflict between Ukraine and Russia led to further increases in U.S. gasoline prices, to what extent would you say each of the following were responsible, if at all?”
For Biden, 35 percent of the respondents said he would be “very responsible” and 23 percent at least “somewhat responsible.” Only 15 percent of those polled said the president would be “not too responsible,” and a mere 13 percent said he would be “not responsible at all.”
Over half of those polled also blamed Putin, with 58 percent saying he would be “very responsible.”
The survey of 2,005 registered voters was conducted Saturday through Monday and had a margin of error of plus or minus 2 percentage points.
Meanwhile, Gallup’s poll showed that a majority of Americans are displeased with how Biden is handling foreign affairs in general. Only 40 percent of respondents approved of the president’s foreign policy and only 36 percent approved of how he is handling Russia.
That poll was conducted via telephone Feb. 1-17 with a random sample of 1,008 U.S. adults. The margin of sampling error was plus or minus 4 percentage points at the 95 percent confidence level.
The 40 percent approval represented a drop of 16 percentage points from a year ago, according to Gallup. In the February 2021 poll, 56 percent approved of Biden’s foreign policy.
But his approval severely declined after the chaos of the Afghanistan withdrawal, and it has remained low amid the crisis in Ukraine.
2 in 5 voters approve of Biden’s handling of the Ukraine crisis, while 45% disapprove. The numbers are better than perceptions of his handling of Afghanistan at the dawn of that crisis, when 51% disapproved and 31% approved. https://t.co/SZivI9JfcP pic.twitter.com/zAZWfmUYz4
— Morning Consult (@MorningConsult) February 23, 2022
A Pew Research poll in January showed that many Americans do not consider Russia’s threat to Ukraine an issue in which the U.S. should get tied up.
While the survey found that a majority of Americans consider Russia a competitor on the world stage, only 26 percent said they considered the Russian military buildup on Ukraine’s border a significant threat to U.S. interests.
About a third of Americans said it was only a minor threat, and another third said they were not sure how Russian actions toward Ukraine affected the U.S.
As the crisis deepens, how Biden handles the situation could be one of the major factors that will determine whether he will keep the support of his party and the American people overall.
“Biden’s ability to navigate the current conflict with Russia, take steps to combat inflation, and preside over a now improving COVID-19 situation will be key factors in determining whether he can regain support among Democrats and independents and improve his overall job rating,” Gallup reported.

According to Chrysler, several owners of 2007 model year Dodge Calibers have reported problems with sticky accelerator pedals, causing the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to launch a full-on investigation. (This sounds familiar, doesn't it?) And because of the recent high-profile Toyota recall surrounding this very same problem, it only makes sense that NHTSA would seriously consider any sort of similar issue.

Baby stars, dancing galaxies: NASA shows new cosmic views
GREENBELT, Md. (AP) — A sparkling landscape of baby stars. A foamy blue and orange view of a dying star. Five galaxies in a cosmic dance. The splendors of the universe glowed in a new batch of images released Tuesday from NASA’s powerful new telescope.
The unveiling from the $10 billion James Webb Space Telescope began Monday at the White House with a sneak peek of the first shot — a jumble of distant galaxies that went deeper into the cosmos than humanity has ever seen.
Tuesday’s releases showed parts of the universe seen by other telescopes. But Webb’s sheer power, distant location from Earth and use of the infrared light spectrum showed them in a new light that scientists said was almost as much art as science.
“It’s the beauty but also the story,” NASA senior Webb scientist John Mather, a Nobel laureate, said after the reveal. “It’s the story of where did we come from.”
And, he said, the more he looked at the images, the more he became convinced that life exists elsewhere in those thousands of stars and hundreds of galaxies.
With Webb, scientist hope to glimpse light from the first stars and galaxies that formed 13.7 billion years ago, just 100 million years from the universe-creating Big Bang. The telescope also will scan the atmospheres of alien worlds for possible signs of life.
“Every image is a new discovery and each will give humanity a view of the humanity that we’ve never seen before,’’ NASA Administrator Bill Nelson said Tuesday, rhapsodizing over images showing “the formation of stars, devouring black holes.”
Webb’s use of the infrared light spectrum allows the telescope to see through the cosmic dust and see faraway light from the corners of the universe, scientists said.
“We’ve really changed the understanding of our universe,” said European Space Agency director general Josef Aschbacher.
The European and Canadian space agencies joined NASA in building the telescope, which was launched in December after years of delays and cost overruns. Webb is considered the successor to the highly successful, but aging Hubble Space Telescope.
Some of Hubble’s most stunning images have been shots of the Carina nebula, one of the bright stellar nurseries in the sky, about 7,600 light-years away. Webb project scientist Klaus Pontoppidan decided to focus one of Webb’s early gazes on that location because he knew it would be the frameable beauty shot. The result was an image of a colorful landscape of bubbles and cavities where stars were being born.
“This is art,” Pontoppidan said. “I really wanted to have that landscape. It has that contrast. We have the blue. We have golden. There’s dark. There’s bright. There’s just a sharp image.”
On tap for release Thursday: A close-up of Jupiter that shows one of its faint rings and a few of its moons, he said.
Also among the new shots:
— Southern Ring nebula, which is sometimes called “eight-burst.” Images show a dying star with a foamy edge of escaping gas. It’s about 2,500 light-years away. A light-year is 5.8 trillion miles. “This is the end for this star, but the beginning for other stars,” Pontoppidan said. As it dies, it throws off parts that seed the galaxy with elements used for new stars, he said.
— Stephan’s Quintet, five galaxies in a cosmic dance that was first seen 225 years ago in the constellation Pegasus. It includes a black hole that scientists said showed material “swallowed by this sort of cosmic monster.” Webb “has just given us a new, unprecedented 290 million-year-old view of what this Quintet is up to,” Cornell University astronomer Lisa Kaltenegger, who wasn’t part of the Webb team, said in an email.
— A giant planet called WASP-96b. It’s about the size of Saturn and is 1,150 light-years away. A gas planet, it’s not a candidate for life elsewhere but a key target for astronomers. Instead of an image, the telescope used its infrared detectors to look at the chemical composition of the planet’s atmosphere. It showed water vapor in the super-hot planet’s atmosphere and even found the chemical spectrum of neon, showing clouds where astronomers thought there were none.
The images were released one-by-one at an event at NASA’s Goddard Space Center that included cheerleaders with pompoms the color of the telescope’s golden mirrors.
“It moves you. This is so so beautiful,” Thomas Zurbuchen, chief of NASA’s science missions, said after the event. “Nature is beautiful. To me this is about beauty.”
The world’s biggest and most powerful space telescope rocketed away last December from French Guiana in South America. It reached its lookout point 1 million miles (1.6 million kilometers) from Earth in January. Then the lengthy process began to align the mirrors, get the infrared detectors cold enough to operate and calibrate the science instruments, all protected by a sunshade the size of a tennis court.
