On this anniversary of 9/11, GospeLines would like to republish an old devotional. This was written a few months after this tragic event when the sights and sounds of that day were still fresh in the minds of everyone.
"No More Tears" (Aftermath of 9-11)
"For the Lamb at the center of the throne will be their shepherd; He will lead them to springs of living water. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes." (Rev. 7:17)
The bloodied hand of the last survivor reached through twisted rubble in the direction of the voice of a New York fireman. Swollen eyes strained toward the narrow beam of light overhead. In twenty minutes she would be saved from the place she lay entombed for more than a day.
Stories rush through our minds, of heroism and terror. The images of buildings targeted by airplanes are etched into our memories. We won't forget that awful day. We shouldn't forget. But we, like the few survivors pulled from Ground Zero, must now move ahead. Beloved, it is time for us to reach toward the healing light and comforting voice of Jehovah God. Our sorrow will not simply walk away; we must nudge it along as we would a guest that has overstayed his welcome. Healing will come to us but not forgetting the tragic events that have marred our nation’s history. Our passage to recovery will open when we can embrace the future with a passion and determination equal to, or greater than our sorrow born from the tragedy.
Forget about it? Ignore it? No. Healing comes to us through a process which includes fear, anger, hopelessness, faith, acceptance and recovery. We would never shame those families who have suffered the loss of their loved ones by trampling the honor of their memories. As many of them said, "It is time to begin the healing process. That's what our husbands and fathers, brothers and sisters would want."
So, there comes a time to exchange our bereavement for bravado, our crying for courage, our anxiety for a stability anchored in everlasting hope. And this is that time. Terror may shake the foundations of the tallest buildings in the world, but it cannot budge the Rock upon which your faith has been built. Danger crippled the airlines of the greatest nation in the world, but it cannot deter your God-given mission. Caution has altered commerce, interfered with the way we communicate, and modified the methods we travel. But the work of the Kingdom will never change, prayer-lines have not been ripped apart, and the pathway to the altar of salvation remains open. For the fellowship of the redeemed, it is business as usual!
Bloodied, perhaps bowed but unbroken, the Church now squints through the rubble, seeks the ray of Light and hears the voice of the Almighty, "Go… make disciples of all nations… and I am with you always!" (Matt. 28:19-20) He has wiped away our tears, replaced our sackcloth with fresh armor, taken away our ragged shoes and has shod our feet with "the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace." (Eph. 6:15)
We will not forget our terrible journey prompted by terrorism, and we will never again be the same as we were before. Now, there is a mission ahead of us that calls us back to duty. "Pray for me, that whenever I open my mouth, words will be given me so that I will fearlessly make known the mystery of the gospel, for which I am an ambassador…, pray that I may declare it fearlessly, as I should." (Eph. 6:19-20)
GospeLines Prayer:Father, I want to be as brave as You think I am, but I am not. I want to be all those things: courageous, fearless, and strong. But You know my humanity better than anyone. Please, God, let me "sit on the sidelines" just a little longer, I am not ready for this mission. Yet, if this cup cannot pass from me, You will have to do it through me. I cannot do it alone. I will reach toward Your light, and trust in Your strength, and walk in Your power. And frail as I am, You have graciously reminded me that it doesn't depend on me, but You are the power and the glory forever and ever. Amen and amen.
"For if you forgive people their trespasses [their reckless and willful sins, leaving them, letting them go, and giving up resentment], your heavenly Father will also forgive you."
Matthew 6:14 (Amplified Bible)
Clint Eastwood is one of my favorite actors and he has distinguished himself in a broad array of movies. I especially like his westerns… one of which is “Unforgiven.” In case you don’t remember (it came out in 1992), Eastwood plays a weakened, once-violent but reformed gunfighter - and an aging pig farmer - in a violent tale of retribution. Clint’s character is struggling in his new life and decides to return to his old life - to settle the score - one more time.
I don’t know about you, but I’d speculate that the majority of us have gone down that dusty trail a time or two. We have been wounded and have wanted to settle the score – one more time.
Most have experienced pain caused by family members, spouses, friends, or our children. How often have we been angry with someone – because of their actions or inaction – and we can’t seem to forgive them? Often times, in the midst of our unforgiveness, it takes its toll on us emotionally and physically as well. The object of our anger may not have a clue about our feelings or may not be concerned.
I can recall many disagreements with my mother because she never understood and accepted my uniqueness. I didn’t measure up to her ideal and no matter how hard I tried; it was never going to happen.
For years, I internalized the constant reminders of my shortcomings in her eyes. I lived with constant stomach problems. When we lived in the same city, our relationship was sometimes strained. However, once my family and I moved away, my general health and outlook improved. I could keep my emotions in check from afar.
She eventually relocated to my city and was on my turf. I could control the way I responded as she became dependent on me. While I was not initially thrilled at the prospect of her living near me, I did all possible to make her comfortable in her last years despite the way I often felt. I had to learn to forgive and to forget yesteryear. There’s an adage that goes, “Let go and let God.” I had to learn to let go, as difficult as that may be.
GospeLines Prayer:Father, often we reach our limits and want to settle the score one more time. When we are about to take that path, please remind us of Your word found in Isaiah 35:4 (King James Version): "Say to them that are of a fearful heart, Be strong, fear not: behold, your God will come with vengeance, even God with a recompense; he will come and save you." Help me to let it go and to let You handle it! Amen!
"Therefore Jesus said again, I tell you the truth, I am the gate for the sheep...whoever enters through me will be saved. He will come in and go out, and find pasture. The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full." (John 10:7-10)
At night, the shepherd gathered the sheep into sheep-folds for protection. The villages had a communal fold where the sheep slept, guarded by a huge, heavy door. Only the gatekeeper had the key. Only he could decide who would go in or out, thus protecting the sheep from thieves. In the warm months the sheep would stay out in the fields at night. There was no door to block the entrance, only a walled area with an opening where the sheep could enter. The shepherd would lie down in the opening to block the sheep from leaving in the night, and to keep intruders from entering. In essence, the shepherd became the door for the sheep-fold.
That was what Jesus had in mind when he said "I am the gate." When the wolf comes to devour, our Shepherd will not abandon his post. The night-thief is blocked from entering the fold to steal away the sheep He has worked so hard to save. As sheep, we may feel secure in the green, plentiful pastures the Shepherd has prepared, and drink deeply from the waters of peace and security.
GospeLines Prayer:Father, your presence in time of trouble gives me blessed assurance that all is well even when there is danger all around me. You give me strength in my weakness, you sustain me in my time of hunger, you lift me up when I fall, and you set my feet straight again when I choose to follow the crooked path. Thank you for loving me. Amen and amen.
John C. Maxwell describes one of those "Amen Moments" in his book Today Matters (Time Warner Book Group, 2004). He tells of a mother and daughter who went shopping. The mother continually complained about everything: the crowds, the merchandise, the prices, etc. On and on she complained until, in complete frustration, she told her daughter that she would never go back to a particular store because of the "dirty look" the sales clerk gave her. The daughter then said,
"She didn't give it to you, Momma. You had it when you went in."
At this moment, had we all been watching this scene unfold, we would have no doubt said… "Amen!"
How often is the negative attitude of those around us merely a reflection of our own? How many times have our failures been preceded by the conviction that we would fail? Like the woman in John Maxwell's story, we brought our attitude of failure and frustration with us when we started.
Now, let's turn this around. How often is the positive attitude of those around us a reflection of our own? How many times have our successes been preceded by the conviction that we would not fail? Have you ever walked up to someone who looked down and dejected and said in a cheery and upbeat voice,
"Hi! How are you this beautiful day?"
Isn't it interesting how often that same person who looked so down only moments before will suddenly brighten right up and respond in kind?
Jesus said, "You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house." (Mathew 5:14-15)
GospeLines Prayer:Heavenly Father, let us always bring light to those around us regardless of our circumstances or the tribulations of the world. Let us be witness that the True Light that gives light to every person has come into the world. Although the world was made through Him, the world has not recognized Him. Father, give us a spirit of grace and love so that we may share His light with the world in His name, the mighty name of Jesus. Amen!
“Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus.” - Philippians 2:5
Upon receiving his sight, the blind man promoted Jesus from being a mere man to accepting Him as the Son of God! He knew that Jesus had powers beyond those of anyone he had ever known.
Napoleon was once with a group of skeptical men who were discussing the validity of the deity of Jesus. They dismissed Jesus as being nothing more than a very great man. Napoleon said, "Gentlemen, I know men, and Jesus Christ was more than a man."
The trouble with human relationships is that the more we know someone, his weaknesses and faults, the more we see that he has feet of clay. But the more we know Jesus, the greater the wonder becomes. Oh, that we could know Him better than we know ourselves, and see Him as one who will never let us down in time or eternity. Amen and amen.

A Hamilton police officer is “more or less” admitting he is guilty of the allegation of sexual activity with a prostitute, according to his lawyer.
Thomas McKay’s lawyer Gary Clewley and prosecutor Marco Visentini were part of a telephone police services act hearing Thursday morning. Clewley said during the hearing that his client has “more or less admitted his guilt.”
According to police act documents, McKay is alleged to have engaged in sexual activity with a sex worker in July of last year while off duty.
He is also accused of lying to an on-duty officer about “the informant status of an individual.”
McKay’s hearing is set to resume on April 24, when an agreed statement of facts about the case is expected to be presented.

IoT solution turns drone into gas detection sensor
March 25, 2019 / Helen Knight
Leaks from natural gas transmission pipelines can present a significant safety hazard, as well as being harmful to the environment and extremely costly to producers. Now drones are to be put to work to sniff out gas leaks from transmission pipelines, thanks to a mobile detection system developed by ABB. The system, which is capable of sniffing out even small leaks from a distance of up to 100m away, uses the company’s industrial Internet of Things (IoT) platform, ABB Ability, to allow it to upload signals to the cloud for immediate analysis anywhere in the world.

Eclair v0.3.3 Release NotesRelease Date: 2019-07-26 // 8 months ago
No data yet 😐
You can check the official repo
Previous changes from v0.3.1
🚀 This release includes many improvements, new API calls, as well as a few bug fixes. It is faster, memory usage is smoother, and we strongly recommend that users upgrade.
⬆ It is is fully compatible with 0.3 (see the Upgrading section below).
📚 Our payment API has been extended (see API documentation website):
- 👍 better fee control when computing routes
- more comprehensive balance information
- you can provide your own preimage when you create payment invoices
- you can provide precomputed payment routes when you send payments
🐎 Performance improvements
Some internal structures and data models have been changed to make resource usage (CPU and memory) more efficient even under very heavy load.
Smarter payment relay logic
We have improved our heuristics used to select the "best" outgoing channel when relaying payments, in order to increase success rate even if several channels to the next node are unavailable (because they don't have enough balance for example).
Automatic re-connection using published node addresses
✅ If an IP address it not provided, we will use the address specified in its latest published announcement to connect to a node.
Handling of corner cases where funding transactions would never confirm has been improved, as well as re-connection logic when a node is connected to many different peers.
⬆ We've also improved runtime checks to detect if your Bitcoin node is still syncing or re-indexing (you should not use eclair with a bitcoin node that is not ready, we detect it when the application start, but not always if you stop your bitcoin node while eclair is running, and upgrade/re-index it).
And we will now properly fail incoming payments when the invoice has expired.
👌 Verifying signatures
🚀 You will need
gpgand our release signing key 7A73FE77DE2C4027. Note that you can get it:
- from our website: https://acinq.co/pgp/drouinf.asc

To import our signing key:
$ gpg --import drouinf.asc
🚀 To verify the release file checksums and signatures:
$ gpg -d SHA256SUMS.asc > SHA256SUMS.stripped $ sha256sum -c SHA256SUMS.stripped
🚀 This release is fully compatible with
Eclair v0.3(including supported JDK and Bitcoin Node versions). You don't need to close your channels, just stop eclair, upgrade and restart. The only significant difference with v0.3 is that support for our old v0.2 API, which was deprecated but could still be activated, has been completely dropped.

My husband and I visited the Hotel Splendid Venice for a 3 night stay over the Jubilee Bank Holiday weekend, booked Friday and arrived Sunday. We were shown to our room immediately upon arrival 12.45 even though the booking quoted a 2pm book in! Staff were polite friendly and efficient, room 'Splendid' clean and upmarket,with robes, slippers and an abundance of toiletries, we had a view of the canal and watched the Gondalas glide by! Breakfast was varied, fresh and substantial. We had an evening meal on the 2nd night which was no more expensive than anywhere else we ate, but food and service were excellent, can't say the same for some of the other places we ate... Beware cover charge AND service charge in some restaurants €18 euros before eating!! Avoid La Gondala... Rubbish food and atrocious service!! We were located between St Marks Square and The Rialto Bridge, perfect for a few days... As there is loads to see! All in all fabulous hotel which I would highly recommend and definately visit again if I went to Venice!! The Manager is lovely and runs a tight, well organised hotel!
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):

THE MOST OFTEN used word to describe the work of Emily Schultz has been “promising.” But with the publication of her third book, the time has come to lose the promise and accept that Schultz is a talented writer, plain, simple and staying that way.
Her new novel, Heaven Is Small, is a gem, inspired by Schultz’s stint as a night editor at Harlequin in suburban North York. Its lead character, Gordon, travels to a similar destination from his downtown abode after he dies. The suburban, corporate headquarters of the Heaven Book Company is his own, personal afterlife. And he has to take public transit to get there!
Of course, Gordon doesn’t know this at first, and that’s half the fun. To make matters worse, good old Gordon has literary aspirations of his own. This, combined with his stinging divorce from Chloe Gold, who has since hit stardom as the writer of chick lit, makes Gordon a very unhappy camper.
“Gordon was inspired by every writer I know,” Schultz explains. “He’s such a schleppy guy, and most writers I know are like that. I’m included in that as much as anyone. He’s the Charlie Brown of writers flung into romance land.” A land Schultz found herself in during a short stint at Harlequin in 2000–2001.
“I have nothing against them,” says Schultz.
“It was a strangely surreal place. It was a good place to work, and because I worked the night shift I didn’t have to pretend to like the books.”
Schultz grew up in southwestern Ontario, heading to Windsor for university before moving to Toronto and attending the magazine publishing program at Centennial College.
She published her first book in 2002, a short story collection entitled Black Coffee Night (Insomniac Press). Her follow-up, her debut novel, Joyland, was published in 2006 (ECW Press). An ode to a video arcade in her native Wallaceburg, Schultz structured the novel to approximate the electronic games of that ’80s era — think Centipede, Galaga, Ms. Pacman.
Named one of Canada’s top writers under 30 by the Globe and Mail, Schultz is hitting her stride as a novelist.
She will be reading from Heaven Is Small around town this summer and is hosting Joyathon, in conjunction with the Scream Literary Festival, on July 9 at the Stealth Lounge in Yorkville.
WHAT IS ACTOR MICHAEL BIEN READING?
“I’m reading Five Past Twelve by Robert N. Shapiro, which covers a year in the life of Jack Geary. This book makes me happy that I went to theatre school. I also read When You Are Engulfed in Flames by David Sedaris. The stories range from a childhood babysitter to tapeworms. He’s such a jerk and isn’t afraid to let you know it.”
Michael Bien stars in Goodbye Rounds at the Toronto Fringe Festival this month.

The day broke crystal clear in the mountains. Located spots of sun in the forest to dry things out. No more rain last night, but rain almost all day today. From Alpine on I was constantly catching up to the storm. Waited about an hour and a half at a RV park right outside Alpine under a carport ramada thing as the skies opened up again.
Hiding under the carport
Through on and off rain showers, finally dropped down from the firs and spruce, through the pines and into the pinyon/juniper (PJ). Made it Reserve, NM to find out the RV park in town no longer exists. Seven miles farther and I am now at Apache RV park in Cruzville. Showered and shaved and actually drying some clothes in a dryer! Been very wet last two nights.
All the “locals” here came out to watch me pitch the tent, ask me the standard tour questions, and blocked my site so no one would drive through it during the night. Manny gave me a beer (Miller Lite never tasted so good!).
I’m hiding here in the laundry room waiting to see what the latest storm is going to do. Some pretty mean lightning out there. Very handy to have this room to store my stuff in over night.

Despite Houston’s history of voting against legislation that protects LGBTQ folks, the advocacy group Transform Houston is working to give Space City a new nondiscrimination ordinance.
The repeal of the Houston Equal Rights Ordinance (HERO) in 2015, along with similar pro-equality losses in 1985 and 2001, has inspired members of Transform Houston to strategize for a future Houston nondiscrimination ordinance (NDO). The organization will host monthly community events through June to inform voters about the need for a law that would make it illegal to discriminate on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity.
“In the past, we didn’t start talking about nondiscrimination laws until we were about to vote on them,” Transform Houston organizer Brad Pritchett says. “We didn’t get the chance to talk to folks who might be susceptible to misinformation about the LGBTQ community, and how these laws are bigger than us. Transform Houston has launched its newest initiative because when the next fight for an NDO happens, voters will already be aware of who this legislation impacts.”
On February 16, Transform Houston will host a town-hall meeting at the Houston Public Library’s Freed-Montrose branch to explore the timeline for putting an NDO on the ballot.
Mayor Sylvester Turner has no plans for a public vote on an NDO in 2019, according to his communication director Alan Bernstein. However, a citizen-led petition initiative with at least 20,000 qualified voter signatures could still place an NDO on the ballot.
Transform Houston will not push for an NDO in 2019, but will instead use the year to expand conversations about anti-discrimination laws. Pritchett believes that a general lack of knowledge about NDO legislation is the reason that Houston voters have rejected LGBTQ protections in the past.
HERO, which prohibited discrimination based on gender identity and expression (in addition to more than a dozen other characteristics), was approved by City Council in 2014. However, anti-LGBTQ groups used misleading anti-transgender attack ads to convince voters to repeal the ordinance in November 2015.
After HERO was repealed, Pritchett met several folks who were unaware that the ordinance would have protected them. A Houston man’s undocumented wife from Guatemala was wrongfully fired after she told her employers that she was pregnant. When Pritchett asked the man if he believed his wife would have benefitted from HERO, the man responded “No, because she is not gay or trans.” Pritchett informed the man that the ordinance would have protected his wife because of her sex, national origin, and pregnancy.
“HERO would have helped many non-LGBTQ folks, but its opponents seized on one aspect of it and publicized it that way,” Pritchett says. “Transform Houston’s current goal is to diffuse myths about NDOs and show folks that they protect everyone.”
Mayor pro tem Ellen Cohen, a longtime ally who has worked to defeat several anti-LGBTQ referendums, believes that Transform Houston’s plan to educate voters about NDOs will increase the chances of one finally passing in Houston.
“Houston voters should be informed that anti-LGBTQ activitsts used lies to derail protections for a marginalized community,” Cohen says. “Everyone deserves to be protected, and I believe that Houston will one day have a nondiscrimination law.”
Following Transform Houston’s February 16 town-hall meeting, the group will perform community outreach through canvassing, fundraising, and affiliating itself with religious groups. A full list of Transform Houston events can be found at facebook.com/transformhouston.
Transform Houston (formerly HOUequality) launched in 2014 after Pritchett and Houston activists Fran Watson, Brandon Mack, and Ashton Woods attended a National Gay and Lesbian Task Force summit. At the conference, the group learned about the Leadership LAB’s non-discrimination canvass model that helped Miami pass an NDO, and made plans to replicate the canvass in Houston.
Members of Transform Houston, who advocated for HERO when that NDO was approved by Houston City Council, were unable to organize a non-discrimination canvass before the NDO was repealed in 2015. The organization ran a transgender prejudice-reduction canvass in 2017 to familiarize Houstonians with trans and gender-nonconforming folks.
With the launch of Transform Houston’s newest outreach plan, the group’s organizers are in search of folks from all backgrounds to create a community council that would lead conversations about the city’s next NDO.
“A diverse steering committee would assist us to drive the work that we want to accomplish,” Pritchett says. “We want to bring together all communities who would be impacted by an NDO so that they feel included in the ordinance from the get-go.”

WASHINGTON - WASHINGTON - The Georgetown University football team will hold its first scrimmage of summer training camp on Saturday, August 18, on Multi-Sport Field with practice opening to the public at 10 a.m. Saturday's scrimmage marks the 13th day of training camp and will be the first chance for fans to see the 2012 football team in live game action.
The Hoyas return seven starters on offense and 10 starters on defense from a team that finished 8-3 overall and 3-2 in the Patriot League, its best record since 1999 and played for a Patriot League Championship for the first time since joining the league in 2001. GU was selected to finish fourth in the Patriot League's Preseason Poll, while senior captain linebacker Robert McCabe (Newtown Square, Pa./Malvern Prep) was named the Preseason Defensive Player of the Year, the first Hoya to garner a preseason accolade since joining the PL. Senior cornerback Jeremy Moore (New Haven, Conn./James Hillhouse) and sophomore offensive lineman Mike Roland (Miami, Fla./Coral Gables) also earned PL Preseason First Team honors.
Saturday's controlled scrimmage will be organized into six segments, beginning with special teams work, as the punt pro and punt block units will open the morning, followed by the kick-off coverage and kick-off return units.
The Hoyas will move into its scrimmage format rotating the first team offense versus first team defense for 10 plays, followed by the second team offense versus the second team defense for 10 plays. The first series will have the offense starting from its own 25 yard line. After both units complete 10 plays, the offense will move to its own 40 and then to the defenses 40 yard line.
The first and second teams will then work on its two-minute drill before moving to the red zone for the compete zone portion of practice. In 2011, the Hoyas featured the third most efficient red zone offense in the nation, scoring on 92-percent of its trips inside their opponents 20-yard line. The defense was eighth in the nation, limiting opposing offenses to scoring on just 68-percent of its trips into the red zone.
The offense and defense will each earn points for three series from both its first and second teams. The offense will score six points for a touchdown, one point for kicked extra points, two points for two-point conversions and three points for a field goal. The defense will earn one point for a blocked or missed extra point, seven points for a fourth down stop, blocked field goal or forced turnover.
Following Saturday, the Hoyas will have one more week of summer training camp before in-season practice and preparation for its season-opener at Davidson on Saturday, September 1 at 6 p.m. The Hoyas play its home-opener on Saturday, September 8 at 1 p.m. when they host Wagner at Multi-Sport Field.
Tickets are now on sale for all 2012 Georgetown Football home games. For more information and to purchase, please click here [ http://www.guhoyas.com/tickets/m-footbl-tickets.html] or contact the Georgetown Athletic Ticket Office at 202-687-HOYA (4692) or email@example.com.

HOW IT RATES
This wealthy Channel Island is organised into 12 parishes. Best known for being a tax haven, it is a treasure trove of historic buildings in idyllic settings. The coast is dotted with military defences, including 24 small round towers from the late 18th century; some have been converted into homes, but they rarely come to the market.
Centuries of combat have left a rich legacy. Built in St Aubin’s Bay in the 1590s, Elizabeth Castle was given its name by Sir Walter Raleigh. The well-preserved 13th-century Mont Orgueil Castle overlooks Gorey harbour. Grosnez Castle is a ruin with spectacular views and the island has a number of notable…

Prof. Christine Hartzell tells us about the bizarre ways dust and rock behave on asteroids. She explains, "asteroids are complicated because our intuition fails." Tools like shovels become useless, forcing spacecraft designers to innovate.
Dr. Bill Bottke stops by the show to talk about ancient craters on the Moon and Earth. He tells us about how you can figure out crater ages by looking at the nearby rocks, and how that led him and his colleagues to figure out that the impact rate on Earth changes with time.
Dr. Jeff Rich returns to the show to talk about the night sky. He explains how astronomers used constellations to communicate. He also tells us that anyone can invent their own constellation. In a time when people can create "universes inside a computer," we talk about ways to go outside and experience the cosmos.
Dr. Carolyn Ernst tells us about DRACO, a camera on the DART mission. DRACO will take critical images in the final seconds of the mission. Dr. Ernst talks about how heritage is important in spaceflight and explains how DRACO is designed to endure harsh conditions.
Dr. Mark Boslough describes what happens when an asteroid enters Earth's atmosphere. He tell the story of how he learned of the historic 2013 Chelyabinsk impact. He also shares what it was like to see the effects of the Shoemaker-Levy 9 Jupiter impact.
Professor Cristina Thomas talks about NASA's first planetary defense mission: DART. DART is a spacecraft that will impact a tiny asteroid moon. She explains why ground-based telescope observations are key to the mission's success.
Dr. Matthew Knight tells us about a discovery that excited astronomers all around the world. 'Oumuamua is the first minor planet from outside our solar system that we have found. Dr. Knight describes what it was like to observe this speedy object, and explains how it compares to local asteroids and comets.
Dr. Terik Daly talks about his experiments, where things hit other things at tens of thousands of miles per hour. These experiments create pressures greater than that at the center of the Earth, and temperatures hotter than the surface of the sun. Dr Daly tells us what it is like to design and witness these experiments, and how he uses them to learn about the solar system.
Sarah Kaplan of the Washington Post talks about science reporting. Reporters often tackle topics that are outside their expertise. Sarah explains the methods she uses to get at the truth. She also shares where she would send a billion dollar spacecraft, and tells the story of how a small bird caused a big newsroom debate.
Dr. Nancy Chabot returns to the show to talk about iron meteorites. Iron meteorites, she explains, are cores of small planets that you can hold in your hand. She describes her laboratory experiments which use furnaces, glass tubes, and tiny hammers.
Dr. Michael Marsset and his collaborators use the world's biggest telescopes to image asteroids. They combine those images with other data to get shapes of asteroids. These results are comparable with spacecraft images, but are much less expensive. Dr. Marsset talks about new discoveries they have made using this technique.
Dr Spencer Backus talks about his work at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory. He explains the complexities of trying to design hands for robots. An example of a robot hand is the undersea gripper he worked on, which looks like "an angry starfish." He also talks about the benefits and challenges of in-space assembly of spacecraft.
Dr. Jacob Izraelevitz describes how engineers might design a balloon to explore Venus. This work is in the early stages, what NASA refers to as a "Mission Concept." He also explains the challenges of Venusian exploration.
When taking a sample of the Moon's surface, the Apollo astronauts discovered a sharp transition from powdery soil to harder rock. This transition was entirely unexpected, and remained unexplained for decades. Dr. Ivy Curren talks about an experiment she designed to explain this phenomena. She also tells us about a type of lunar dust formation that scientists call "fairy castle structures."
Dr. Seager explains how she and other astronomers are looking for extraterrestrial life. We discuss the Drake and Seager equations. We also talk about how astronomers might be able to detect life by measuring chemicals in distant planet atmospheres. This episode is related to the March 2019 National Geographic cover story, "We are not alone."
Dr. Alicia Lanz talks about the history of astronomical instrumentation, starting with the first telescope. She describes some bizarre historical telescopes and shares a surprisingly inspirational story about bubbles in glass.
Professor Katelyn Allers talks about how you can discover small cold stars! She is a member of the Backyard Worlds project, which is a collaboration between astronomers and citizen scientists. This project searches for brown dwarfs, which are some of the closest objects to our solar system.
Brent Barbee returns to the show to talk about deflecting asteroids. He explains how an asteroid might react to an impact, and also talks about the proposed DART mission, which would change the orbit of a small asteroid moon.
Dr. Solange Ramirez returns to the show to talk about her new position as Project Manager of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey V. Amount other things, the project will study over six million stars and how black holes change over time. These millions of measurements will be made using a robotic telescope system that is currently being built.
Rob Seaman of the Catalina Sky Survey talks about time, and why you need to know the time to discover asteroids and comets. He explains how he installed a highly accurate clock, and makes the case that "natural time" is better than "cold, heartless atomic time."
Dr. Dave Tholen talks about near-Earth asteroids. He explains why they can be difficult to observe, and how he manages to spot them anyway. He also tells the story of a particularly famous asteroid that he discovered, and sets the record straight about its name.
The James Webb Space Telescope hasn't launched yet, but scientists already have plans to use it. Dr. Kartaltepe talks about how she'll use it to study galaxies. She's interested in the first galaxies that ever formed, as well as galaxies at a wide range of distances from Earth.
Urey Prize winner Dr. Francesca DeMeo stops by the show to talk about her asteroid research. She explains what a differentiated asteroid is, and tells us about her asteroid classification system. She also shares a new result, and explains how it may change the way we think about solar system formation.
Dr. Matthew Payne talks about his exoplanet research, which involves looking for periodic dimming in stars. We discuss the Kepler and TESS space telescopes, and he explains why he's so interested in measuring the masses of exoplanets.
Dr. Joanna Carey talks about her research on our home planet, Earth. She explains how the climate change we're experiencing is ten times faster than any in geologic history. We also discuss why small changes in carbon emissions today will make a huge difference to the future climate, and things everyday people can do to mitigate the damage.

I’m back in the game with using my coupons and I did lots of shopping last week. We were running out of a lot of stuff so I needed to do some stock up shopping while the things we use most were on sale.
I also want to point out here that I am not an extreme couponer so my savings isn’t $1000 a week. I try to only buy what my family will use and stock up on a few things as I find them at the best price possible. My point here is to show you that you don’t have to be an extreme couponer and you can still make a huge difference in using coupons. So far this year (with taking about 6 weeks off from using coupons) I have saved enough to make almost 2 car payments or purchase 2 airline tickets. If you put your coupon savings aside each week and make two extra car payments at the end of the year, you’ll knock a decent amount of interest off your loan!
Here is what we saved with coupons…
- I shopped at Stop & Shop and saved $46.87 with coupons.
- I shopped at CVS and saved $16.37 with coupons.
MY total saved last week with coupons was $63.24.
January 2012 Coupon Savings –$21.60
February 2012 Coupon Savings – $79.94
March 2012 Coupon Savings – $59.60
April 2012 Coupon Savings – $114.11
May 2012 Coupon Savings – $142.40
June 2012 Coupon Savings – $58.61
July 2012 Coupon Savings – $.o0
August 2012 Coupon Savings – $63.24
So how did you do?? How much did you save JUST with COUPONS – we aren’t even talking sales – just what you save with coupons. Anyone can walk in the store and get a sale price, but I want to show you how much more can be saved with those little pieces of paper.

(Photo : Getty Images) China has launched its first cargo spacecraft, Tianzhou-1.
China launched its first cargo spacecraft Tianzhou-1 on Thursday, marking another step further in the country's ambitious space program.
The Tianzhou-1 blasted off into space at 7:41 p.m. local time (11:41 GMT) aboard the latest generation Long March-7 Y2 rocket at the Wenchang Satellite Launch Center in Hainan province.

The cargo spacecraft, which will dock with the Tiangong 2 space lab, is expected to prove to be an "important technological basis" for the construction of China's space station. China launched the Tiangong-2 in September and its 20-ton core module will be sent in 2018.
The completed 60-ton station is expected to operate for about 10 years and enter into full service in 2022 to support three-person crews for six-month expeditions, Seattle Times reported. The Tianzhou-1 carried six tons of goods, two tons of fuel, and could fly unmanned for three months.
"We will see if the Tianzhou 1 spacecraft meets the demand of transporting and resupplying various goods through this launch," Bai Mingsheng, chief designer of the Tianzhou-1 cargo spacecraft at CASC, said.
Tianzhou-1, which weighs about 29,000 pounds, is the biggest and heaviest spacecraft built and launched by China. It is designed to carry up to 14,300 pounds of payloads and is similar in purpose to cargo freighters that fly to the International Space Station like the Russian Progress supply ship and the commercial Cygnus and Dragon carriers built by Orbital ATK and SpaceX, according to SpaceFlight Now.
"This is a new experiment," Bai said. "If we succeed, then the docking of manned spacecraft and cargo spacecraft will use this technology."

Starting in 2011, the NFL’s franchise tender became determined through a five-year average ultimately tied to the percentage of the salary cap consumed by the highest-paid players at a given position. Thus, as the salary cap spikes, the franchise tenders increase accordingly.
So why shouldn’t that also apply to players who sign long-term deals? Per an NFL Players Association source, there’s nothing in the Collective Bargaining Agreement that prohibits tying compensation to a percentage of the salary cap. While it can’t be used in rookie deals or offer sheets, it’s fair game for free-agent contracts and veteran renegotiations.
If, for example, a player signs a five-year deal worth $15 million per year with the cap at $155.27 million per year, that’s currently an investment of roughly 10 percent of the cap. But as the cap goes up (currently at $10 million per year), the relative percentage of the contract shrinks. At the current rate, that $15 million contract could soon look not as great as it does now — sort of like J.J. Watt’s contract in relation to Olivier Vernon’s.
But just because it’s permissible doesn’t mean an NFL team would go for it. Teams prefer certainty in player contract amounts, despite the year-to-year uncertainty of the cap. Besides, few players will have the leverage to demand that kind of a term.
Defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh was the last of the pre-wage scale dominant players who was able to force his way to the open market and dictate terms. With rookie deal now slotted at a much lower level and the ensuing franchise tenders affordable, the league’s best players won’t be able to go to launch an auction in which the player’s agent tells teams that one of the terms will be protection against spikes in the cap in the form of a bonus or other adjustment ensuring that the player will continue to get a predetermined percentage of the cap as it passes, for example, $160 million, $180 million, and $200 million.
So it’s no different than fully-guaranteed contracts. They’re available, but teams rarely if ever will give them out.
Still, it’s a fair concern for players whose deals that look great when signed quickly turn less-than-great as the salary cap keeps turning like numbers in a pinball machine.

There have always been mixed feelings when it comes to sharks. They give rise to both fear and excitement, and make us feel obsessed, terrified, and thrilled at the same time. Observing these mystifying and attractive underwater creatures up close is probably on every diver’s bucket list. We can help you get one step closer to the wild environment on a liveaboard diving safari. Here are our top 5 most exciting spots to dive with sharks.
1. Cocos Island, Costa Rica. Cocos definitely deserves its status as one of the best diving destinations on earth, and it’s surely the best spot to dive with hammerhead sharks. Hundreds of giant hammerheads are schooling around the island in the summer months. Be both emotionally and technically prepared for the adventure of your life–you need to be very skilled to go on one of these challenging dives.
2. Galápagos Islands, Ecuador. It’s impossible not to mention this legendary marine protected area, where sharks are a part of the wild, underwater action of the big pelagics. The whale shark season is June through November. The best time for hammerhead shark action is from January to May.
3. Fiji. Commonly known as the soft coral capital of the world, Fiji has a unique Shark Reef Marine Reserve that is home to 8 different species of sharks, including bull sharks and tiger sharks. Called a “shark corridor” and spread between Beqa Lagoon and the Pacific Harbour on Viti Levu, this must-see shark dive spot will definitely be the icing on the cake for your experience in Fiji.
4. Guadalupe Island, Mexico. Here you can dive with great white sharks. It is even more special because you are literally locked in a cage. Cage diving is on the bucket list of many adventurous divers, and out of the few places in the world that offer this breathtaking experience, Guadalupe Island is definitely the best spot!
5. Tiger Beach, Bahamas. Although the crystal waters on the Bahamas are home to many pieces of sharks, such as bull sharks, hammerheads, and lemon sharks, you can have special experiences here with tiger sharks. These residents of Tiger Beach, Grand Bahama will join you for an open-water dive on that white sand bottom. You will need all your courage. Ready, set, go!

İPhone 8, İPhone X Anticipated Tuesday
Two firms, Interflex and Samsung Electro-Mechanics, are reportedly boosting their spending on production of versatile printed circuit boards (FPCBs) especially for Apple's upcoming iPhones, like the iPhone eight,” which should be the initially iPhone with an OLED screen. A report from The Wall Street Journal claims that early issues may perhaps have set the production timetable for the iPhone 8 back by about a month, major to a severely constrained supply of the leading-of-the-line telephone when it launches, supposedly on September 22.
It's mentioned to work even when an iPhone is set on a table, so it's functional from several diverse angles and really should not be a hassle to use even when producing payments at a terminal, and evidence of this functionality was discovered in HomePod firmware.
Earlier this year, a UBS analyst reported that Apple could value the 64GB iPhone eight as low as $850 (roughly £650 or AU$1,100) to better compete with the Samsung Galaxy S8 Plus The iPhone eight and eight Plus are anticipated to be priced comparably with the current generation 7 and 7 Plus, so $649 (£500 or AU$850) and $769 (£600 or AU$1,000), respectively.
For the iPhone X, Apple is planning to move away from the aluminum body that it really is been utilizing due to the fact 2012 in an effort to differentiate the new iPhone from the devices that have come just before it. Apple is anticipated to instead re-adopt the glass-backed physique final iphone 8 kapak applied for the iPhone 4s. Glass is more fragile and heavier than aluminum, but several advances have been produced in glass technologies and supplies like Gorilla Glass are sturdier than ever, which might enable prevent breakage.
An iPhone X dummy image has also been circulating on Chinese social networks depicting the device in three colors , but the gold is much more of a copper shade so it is not completely clear if this is an correct representation of the colors we can anticipate to see when Apple's new detayla devices launch.
The pictures, shared on Twitter by prolific leaker Benjamin Geskin , allegedly come straight from Chinese iPhone manufacturer Foxconn, supplying far more proof that Apple is planning to replace its "rose gold" colour variant with a much more rusty, copper-like colour.
The most likely branding is hunting to be iPhone X, according to iOS 11 code - and that chimes nicely with a fresh leak out of Discover's internet site, where it listed the ‘iPhone X Edition' alongside the iPhone eight and 8 Plus. KGI analyst Ming-Chi Kuo's early August analysis note agreed with the September launch, writing that all 3 new iPhone models will arrive simultaneously on the exact same date.
The Times also reaffirmed earlier reports that the telephone would function an all-screen front and wireless charging support. In addition to acquiring a new OLED panel, the iPhone X need to also boast a larger resolution than you happen to be utilized to seeing on an Apple phone.
Apple is organizing to introduce a total of 3 iPhone models in 2017, like a 5.8-inch device with an OLED show and two devices with an LCD show in common 4.7 and 5.5-inch sizes. According to The Korea Herald , any and all OLED versions will be curved and created of plastic, rather than the glass commonly used on flat panels.
Despite months of reports about potential postponement and even panic , we presume that Apple will deliver a plentiful supply of the two LCD models quickly immediately after the announcement. In the iPhone 7 Plus, only the wide-angle lens functions OIS. In March 2016, Nikkei reported that Apple was arranging to ditch LCD displays in favour of OLED screens, with the 1st OLED iPhone arriving in 2017.
(Update: September 12, 2017): A leaked listing on Discover's website appears to have revealed what this year's iPhones will be named. The rear camera will be able to record 4K video at 60fps — twice as rapid as the iPhone 7 — and 1080p at 240 fps. Dozens of hires with expertise in wireless charging have also joined the firm over the past year.
It is probably that, if the "iPhone 8" does use a glass back and ends up applying these dimensions, the bump will be surrounded by a metal ring to generate the contour. Spotted by MacRumours , the new option will allow those upgrading to an iPhone eight to mail their old smartphone to Apple utilizing the firm's Trade-in Kit, negating the will need to pay a visit to a physical Apple Retailer.
With just one particular day to go just before the official announcement of the iPhone X and iPhone eight/Plus , there has been considerable debate about public reaction to the anticipated $999+ cost-tag of the flagship phone. A comparison image that shows dummy models for the 2017 ~five-inch OLED iPhone, four.7-inch iPhone, and five.5-inch offers a appear at the size variations among the devices.
Like the iPhone 7, the iPhone X is anticipated to be water resistant , but it may well have an improved IP68 water resistance rating. Fast Enterprise reports that Apple has created a rear-facing 3D laser method that supports AR depth detection and autofocusing.
Up until mid-2015, it hadn't been doable to do wireless charging—also recognized as inductive charging—on a phone with a metal back. A single mentioned that Apple is tentatively looking at releasing three new models subsequent year. According to a report from analysts at JPMorgan, seen by 9to5Mac , the iPhone eight could come bundled with a free of charge pair of AirPods worth £160 in the box.
It sounds like Apple wants to hold Touch ID on the front but place it below the show That would be ideal, offered Apple currently made the Property button virtual with iPhone 7. When made use of for Apple Pay, a face scan will authenticate a payment when a double click on the sleep/wake or side button will confirm the payment.
One of the stand-out characteristics of Samsung 's latest flagship smartphone, the Galaxy S8, is facial recognition technology, enabling users to unlock their telephone by merely searching at it. The company may possibly include a good freebie with the iPhone X — wireless AirPod headphones.
There are various rumors about the size and variety of the panels Apple will be making use of, and rumors indicate Apple is testing much more than ten iPhone prototypes When we've heard numerous rumors pointing towards various show sizes, facts seems to be solidifying around a screen size of five.8 inches , with a smaller sized active display area.
Circuit boards published by Benjamin Geskin on August 24 are claimed to be logic boards destined for the "iPhone eight." The PCB displayed appears to hold four separate L-shaped boards, which would be reduce from the sprues as component of the manufacturing course of action.
Apple CEO Tim Cook dismissed this as baseless market chatter in the company's most current earnings get in touch with, but there is nevertheless no shortage of leaks suggesting provide for the iPhone eight may be limited to a few million units at launch.
Pulling that off will require some hardware changes, which could imply a 3D camera sensor headed for the iPhone X, according to a separate Business Insider report And Rapid Business reported that Apple's functioning to add a rear-facing 3D laser onto the subsequent iPhone, which not only help with augmented reality apps, but also improve the rear cameras' capacity concentrate.
Apple has been testing out many prototype styles for the iPhone eight. For the exact same cause, at this time, we are not in a position to confirm if the renders showcased above certainly belong to the final design that was selected by Apple.
The smartphone, tipped by some to arrive as the 'iPhone Edition' or 'iPhone X', will be Apple's 10th-anniversary smartphone and looks set to be the very first to debut wireless charging tech, an edge-to-edge AMOLED show and an uncommon vertical dual rear-facing camera.
So far Apple has saved the new iPhone finishes for the years absent big redesigns, save for 2017's iPhone 7 Project RED particular edition. As iPhone manufacturing usually starts two to three months in advance of the launch, this offers Apple till June or July to secure production in time.
As an alternative of slapping an S at the finish of these models, Apple will get in touch with them the iPhone eight and iPhone eight Plus, according to Troughton-Smith's firmware discovery. Pictures that could potentially function the wireless charging pad circuitry that will be constructed into iPhone X accessories surfaced in August, but it is hard to ascertain their authenticity.
We've collected some of the greatest iPhone X notion styles (back when it was nevertheless becoming known as the iPhone eight) to see if any stir your imagination. According to information sourced from Apple and Samsung's provide chain deal, the iPhone 9 could feature OLED displays in the following sizes : five.85 inches and six.46 inches.
Previously, Apple presented iPhones with a space grey finish, but this was retired and replaced with a matte black due to the fact 2016. Instead, the iPhone X could possibly rely entirely on touch-primarily based gesture controls for navigating to the Dwelling screen and activating the App Switcher.
Although the iPhone X will replace Touch ID with Face ID, the iPhone 8 and the iPhone eight Plus, which feature a design related to the iPhone 7 and the iPhone 7 Plus, will continue to present a Touch ID Property button. It is feasible, consequently, that with a big update to the iPhone X, Apple could similarly charge a premium for its next update.
Like the Touch ID setup course of action, the iOS 11 golden master update (the final beta) asks you to pose all angles of your face, in a comparable way to how you have to repeatedly location your finger print on a fingerprint sensor to calibrate it. It will feature a slightly curved two.5D display that is equivalent to the display used in the iPhone 7.
They use sensors to automatically detect when they are in your ears, and play or pause your music accordingly. But in the interim, we've got a quite clear view of what we think we'll see with the new phones, in addition to the Apple Watch 3 and 4K Apple Television box we expect to see.
Noted leaker Sonny Dickson has shown off what appears to be a doable schematic for the iPhone 8, which shows a device with a metal back and a rear-mounted Touch ID sensor. 24/7/17: A new leak courtesy of Forbes claims that the iPhone eight will function a "significantly enhanced" battery life.
The glass backs of the "eight" models are shown to give an additional advantage on major of enabling wireless charging: there are no antenna striples, as observed in the iPhone 7 range, improving the appearance of the rear. These reports, primarily based on a UBS note to investors have the iPhone X starting at $850 to $900.

This was very lucky for them as they had only retreated 30 yards away to detonate. If the mine had exploded, they’d most likely have been killed the blast and there wouldn’t have been much left from the barracks either. The column had to pull back once a stalemate began. There were no casualties on either side.

Scientists Chelyabinsk University have created a t-shirt, measures a non-contact ECG
Heart, without a doubt, is one of the most important human organs, because when it stops beating - a person ceases to exist. To monitor the status of this body for many years, used by electrocardiography (ECG), but this procedure is quite inconvenient and time consuming. However, the inventors of the South Ural State University (SUSU) presented a highly sensitive recorder that can shoot cardiogram through several layers of clothing. Moreover, based on this sensor can even create clothes that will record the work of the heart.
On this basis a new Chelyabinsk technology has made a t-shirt, which controls the heart. It consists of a conductive fabric with silver threads, and "inside" placed a small ECG module to the controller and battery. The data is transmitted via Bluetooth to any device, be it a smartphone, tablet or a fitness tracker. Scientists have created such a device is primarily for athletes. According to Professor of the Institute of Sport, Tourism and SUSU service Vladimir Kodkin,
"Athletes everyday experience severe fiznagruzki, so it is especially important to continuously monitor their health. T time will tell the athlete, when you need to relax, reduce the load or the pace and moments of fatigue which is too high. This will help to improve athletic performance and to prevent health problems. "


Sisyphus and the Conjugate Vaccines
As a punishment from the gods, Sisyphus was compelled to roll a huge rock up a steep hill, but before he reached the top of the hill, the rock always escaped him and he had to begin again. The maddening nature of the punishment was reserved for Sisyphus due to the mortal’s hubristic belief that his cleverness surpassed that of Zeus.
In September, the AP reported that Prevnar…
“A vaccine that has dramatically curbed pneumonia and other serious illnesses in children is having an unfortunate effect: promoting new superbugs that cause ear infections.”
I always wonder who actually writes these science stories you see in the media.
Yes, the emerging serotypes cause ear infections and other mild illnesses, but they also cause various deadly forms of invasive disease. It’s a phenomenon called “serotype replacement” (or “replacement disease” in other circumstances) and so far all of the conjugate vaccines (Hib, Prevnar, Menactra) have done this in some form or fashion. The vaccines work extremely well against vaccine-included serotypes of streptococcus pneumoniae, but they work so well that they also prevent asymptomatic carriage of these normally commensal organisms.
And that is a problem.
For example, from The Lancet:
“FINDINGS: We noted no reduction of AOM episodes in the pneumococcal vaccine group compared with controls (intention-to-treat analysis: rate ratio 1.25, 95% CI 0.99-1.57). Although nasopharyngeal carriage of pneumococci of serotypes included in the conjugate-vaccine was greatly reduced after pneumococcal vaccinations, immediate and complete replacement by non-vaccine pneumococcal serotypes took place.”
The human bacterial flora behaves as an ecosystem, and like any ecosystem, you can’t go around removing whole species of the local “wildlife” without unforeseen consequences. As much as I’d like to live in a world without mosquitoes, I wouldn’t go so far as to actually advocate taking on the eradication of all mosquitoes from Planet Earth. But that’s exactly the kind of thing the people in charge of international public health want to do.
Those in charge of the pneumococcal conjugate vaccine immunization program did forsee new pneumococcal serotypes moving in and filling the ecological niche left behind in the wake of Prevnar’s widespread use. But their plan to deal with this appears to be to continue adding more and more serotypes into the vaccine indefinately.
Presently, the clinical trials for a New and Improved Prevnar (PCV13, which will cover not only the old seven pneumococcal serotypes, but rather 13 serotypes) are nearing completion, and within a few years the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (also known as the ACIP) will be recommending it’s universal use.
Now, there are “only” 91 or so pneumococcal serotypes in total.
I suppose if worst came to worst, we could just have faith that the scientists at Wyeth Pharmaceuticals would keep on churning out more new and improved versions of Prevnar until we eventually reached PCV91 in, say, the year 2030.
Perhaps we could completely eradicate all streptococcus pneumoniae from the human bacterial flora, triumphing over nature!
Except…that won’t work, either.
It’s an ecosystem we’re dealing with here, remember?
Nevermind having to chase around the emerging pneumococcal serotypes for who knows how long. New pneumococcal serotypes replacing old pneumococcal serotypes is its own problem, but it’s more complicated than that. Entirely more complicated than that. So complicated that we only have “clues” about some of the aspects of this microscopic ecosystem.
From a scientific standpoint in the Journal of the American Medical Association:
Streptococcus pneumoniae carriage, specifically of vaccine-type strains, is negatively associated with S aureus carriage in children. The implications of these findings in the pneumococcal vaccine era require further investigation.”
As in, staphylococcus aureus?
Give people Prevnar and it makes them have more STAPH???
What does this increase in staph mean for us?

This 1956 Les Paul Goldtop features an updated antique finish, classic hardware, a hide-glued neck, new truss rod and tuner designs, and vintage-style trapezoid fretboard inlays.

When early Les Pauls are discussed (and they are at great length), a big issue is always the neck profile. The earliest Les Pauls had big, fat necks made of mahogany. The neck was slimmed down a bit in 1959, and it finally evolved into what's known today as the SlimTaper neck in 1960. Some players love those huge old necks, while others prefer the SlimTaper design. This '56 Vintage Original Spec Les Paul Goldtop has a bound mahogany neck with a long neck tenon and the original chunky '50s rounded neck profile, which is historically accurate. It lets you really lean into the neck and dig in for the best tone. The rosewood fingerboard has acrylic trapezoid inlays that are accurate in shape and color. Nickel-plated hardware and vintage tulip tuners complete the package.

Fordite – beauty from waste.
These colourful specimens called fordite or Motor Agate, are the result of automotive enamel paint. Going back a good few years, before the days of electrostatic spray painting, cars were hand sprayed in big factories, with a lot of paint being wasted.
Over the course of time, the over-sprayed paint built up on the tracks on which the cars were painted and many colourful layers developed. These layers of paint were then repeatedly hardened in ovens when the cars were being cured.
Eventually, the paint build-up would become obstructing, or too thick and heavy, and had to be removed. As the story goes, some crafty workers with an eye for beauty realized that this unique by-product was worth salvaging. It was super-cured, patterned like psychedelic agate, and could be cut and polished with relative ease and people started making collectable pieces and jewellery.

St. Constantine is the oldest Black sea resort and sanatorium in Bulgaria. It is situated 8 km away from Varna.The trip from Varna airport takes approximately 20 minutes. The beach is sandy here and consists of several bays.
There is a mineral hyper thermal spring on the beach near the ship-restaurant “Sirius” across from “Chaika” (“The Seagull”) hotel. The downside of mineral water for the bathers gathering at the spring is its strong and rather unpleasant “healing” smell; the positive side is its undoubtedly nurturing effect on hair, skin, the nervous system and the organism as a whole. Most of the open-air pools on the territory of the complex are filled with mineral water.
The resort life in St. Constantine is absolutely devoid of the fuss typical for such places as the Golden Sands. Time flows slowly and with dignity, everything reminds one of balneological therapy. In short, this is an old-fashioned resort with traditions.

CHENNAI: The MMSC FMSCI Indian National Racing Championships 2016 for four-wheelers resumes this weekend after a four-week break at the MMRT track in Sriperumbudur, near here, with MRF Formula 1600 along with three categories of saloon cars besides the rookie Formula LGB making for a card of 12 races in the second round commencing on Friday, March 4.
The MRF F1600, with 15 cars on the grid, will no doubt highlight the weekend’s programme with four races, two each on Saturday and Sunday. Last year’s champion Karthik Tharanisingh has enjoyed a head-start, having won both the races in the first round held at the same venue in January.
Tharanisingh will be looking to consolidate the early gains by sustaining the fine form he is in. However, despite his dominating start which has put him 20 points clear of the field, he will have to again deal with some serious competition from the likes of Goutham Parekh, Anindith Reddy and Raghul Rangasamy, all of whom are tied on 30 points, ahead of the talented Sandeep Kumar (22).
It is early days yet in the championship and with plenty more to play for, and the MRF F1600 series promises rich action in the coming rounds.
The winner of the MRF Formula Ford 1600 will qualify for the Mazda Road to Indy shootout in the United States in December.
Adding spice to the proceedings will be the popular saloon car races which have three grids – the top-end Indian Touring Cars, Indian Junior Touring Cars and the Super Stock – with a total of 38 entries that should throw up some exciting wheel-to-wheel competition.
The ITC, like the Formula LGB 1300, join the championship after missing the first round, and it has always showcased the engineering talent given the modifications that are permitted besides race craft.
The IJTC witnessed some keen competition in the first round that threw up two different winners in the double-header with Keith Desouza (UNIMEK Racing) topping the first outing and Anant Pithawalla (Team N1) taking the honours in the next from a reverse grid.
In the Super Stock, Adith KC of Race Concepts (Bengaluru) heads the leaderboard with a win and a second place finish while Alisha Abdullah (RAD Racing), a two-wheeler racer who has moved to saloon cars, performed creditably for two podium finishes to be placed second in the championship.
Reflecting on the championship so far, MMSC President Ajit Thomas said: “The 2016 season in many ways, is a high watermark for us at the MMSC. We are happy that new season started on an exciting note in January, but more importantly, the four-wheeler championship opens up a new avenue for our young racers through MMSC’s tie-up with Mazda Road to Indy. So, I expect some exciting competition, especially in the MRF F1600 which is the feeder series for Mazda Road to Indy.
“As for the second round this weekend, we have received good number of entries, especially in the saloon car categories which is likely to dish out some close and thrilling races.”
