Because Jupiter has been largely unchanged since its formation at the birth of our solar system, scientists hope Juno will resolve unanswered questions not only about the massive planet, but also about how our solar system evolved. Among the key questions are how much water exists there, and how that water evolved from the hydrogen-rich early solar system.
“Jupiter collected much of the original solar nebula, that sheet of material that surrounded our sun when it formed,” said Paul Steffes, a professor in Georgia Tech’s School of Electrical and Computer Engineering and a member of the Juno Mission Team. “Knowing how much water is in the atmosphere of Jupiter is going to give us real insight into how the whole solar system has evolved. Understanding Jupiter really helps us understand how we got started.”
To detect and measure water, Juno will carry a radiometer that can measure radio emissions produced by the planet itself at microwave frequencies. As those signals pass through Jupiter’s atmosphere, they are altered by the water and other constituents. Understanding how the signals were altered can tell scientists much about the atmosphere of the giant planet. The probe will receive microwave signals at six different frequencies that scientists know are emitted at various levels of the planet’s atmosphere.
“The intensity of the microwave radiation at specific frequencies gets weaker depending on how much water is there,” Steffes explained. “We’ll be able to not only say whether or not there’s water there, but we’ll also be able to say at what altitude it exists based on the signatures of the microwaves coming out of the planet’s atmosphere.”
Interpreting that data will require knowledge that Steffes and his students are developing by simulating the Jupiter atmosphere in their pressure vessel, which is located inside an oven on the roof of Georgia Tech’s Van Leer Building.
Though Jupiter is a long way from the sun, the planet’s gravitational forces create high temperatures and tremendous pressures in the lower layers of the atmosphere where the water is believed to exist. The laboratory atmospheric simulations allow Steffes and his students to study the behavior of microwave signals passing through ammonia, hydrogen sulfide, helium, hydrogen and water vapor at pressures up to 100 times those of the Earth.
The researchers, including graduate student Danny Duong, have made thousands of measurements at different temperatures, pressures and microwave frequencies as the signals pass through different combinations of gases. The laboratory work is expected to be completed during 2012.
“The measurements we’ve made will allow the radiometer on Juno to be calibrated,” Steffes explained. “When Juno gets to Jupiter, we’ll know what conditions each microwave signature corresponds to.”
Earlier attempts to quantify the water on Jupiter – the solar system’s largest planet – produced conflicting information. Steffes assisted the Galileo mission, which dropped a probe into the planet’s atmosphere in 1995 and found surprisingly little water. Yet when the Comet Shoemaker-Levy crashed into Jupiter in 1994, it stirred up oxygen that led scientists to believe water was abundant.
Once Juno reaches the planet, it will go into an elliptical polar orbit to avoid Jupiter’s deadly radiation belts, which would harm the probe’s electronic systems. Juno is scheduled to make 30 orbits, each of which will take 11 days. The researchers then expect to take about 18 months to process the information sent back to Earth.
Beyond measuring water on Jupiter, Juno will also study the planet’s gravitation field in an effort to determine whether a solid core exists and how the giant body rotates. It will also measure magnetic fields and investigate Jupiter’s auroras, which are the strongest in the solar system. And it will take a look at the planet’s polar areas for the first time ever.
Juno is also notable because it will be the first deep-space probe to be powered by photovoltaic arrays, which were less expensive than the nuclear generators used on earlier missions.
Steffes has been studying planetary atmospheres for more than 25 years, and has simulated conditions on Venus, Neptune, Saturn and Uranus in addition to Jupiter. The work has continued under the same contract since 1984. Georgia Tech’s research into other planets goes back more than 50 years, Steffes noted.
Studies of other planetary atmospheres can now be done from Earth using radio telescopes such as the Very Large Array in New Mexico, or the new Atacama array in Chile. But Jupiter’s radiation belts, which are made up of energized particles spewed into the atmosphere by the volcanic moon Io, prevent that.
“To test for water, you have to operate at frequencies that are pretty low, about the same as a cell phone,” Steffes said. “But the radiation belts are generating huge amounts of noise at those frequencies, so we couldn’t do this observation from Earth because the radiation belts would mask the signal from Jupiter’s atmosphere. We are very fortunate to have this opportunity to observe Jupiter with the Juno spacecraft.”

Gravitational wave kicks monster black hole out of galactic core
24.03.2017 | NASA/Goddard Space Flight Center
Astronomers from Bonn and Tautenburg in Thuringia (Germany) used the 100-m radio telescope at Effelsberg to observe several galaxy clusters. At the edges of these large accumulations of dark matter, stellar systems (galaxies), hot gas, and charged particles, they found magnetic fields that are exceptionally ordered over distances of many million light years. This makes them the most extended magnetic fields in the universe known so far.
The results will be published on March 22 in the journal „Astronomy & Astrophysics“.

text: Purpose Few studies have examined the psychological and psychophysiological effects of recuperative music after exhaustive exercise. The main purpose of the present study was to examine the effects of two music conditions compared with a no-music control on psychological and psychophysiological recovery processes after exercise. Methods A randomized, fully counterbalanced, crossover design was used. Core affect, salivary cortisol, heart rate, and blood pressure were measured before exhaustive exercise, immediately after, and in 10-, 20-, and 30-min intervals during passive recovery (21 women and 21 men; 20.9 ± 1.7 yr) over three separate trials (slow, sedative music; fast, stimulative music; no-music control). The exercise task entailed incremental cycle ergometry performed at 75 rpm with an increase in intensity of 22.5 W·min-1 at the end of each minute until exhaustion. Data were analyzed using mixed-model 3 (condition) × 4 (time) × 2 (gender) MANOVA/ANCOVA. Results The largest decline in affective arousal between active and passive recovery phases was evident in the slow, sedative condition (ηp2 = 0.50). Women had a more pronounced reduction in arousal than did men in the slow, sedative music condition. Heart rate measures showed that fast, stimulative music inhibited the return of heart rate toward resting levels (ηp2 = 0.06). Similarly, salivary cortisol levels tended to be lower in response to slow, sedative music (ηp2 = 0.11). There was a main effect of condition for affective valence indicating that the slow, sedative condition elicited more positive affective responses compared with the control and fast, stimulative conditions (ηp2 = 0.12). Conclusions The present findings support the notion that slow, sedative music can expedite the recovery process immediately after strenuous exercise.

News » Borough Councillor Report December 2015
|Borough Councillor Report December 2015 10 December, 2015|
Hinckley & Bosworth Borough Council Report Cllr Martin Cartwright & Cllr Ted Hollick
Former Budgens now Co-op:
Ted and I would like to welcome the Co-op to the former Budgens site and wish them success in trading. Objections were received to the planned extended licensing hours but these were resolved with the help of officers of the council, representatives of the co-op and the objector.
The store is open from 7am till 10pm, 7 days a week on a smaller footprint to the former Budgens store but none the less is an impressive offering to residents.
Remainder of the Budgens site
The Side Elevation of the Former Budgens Store is set to be transformed in a plan to bring four small units within the remaining part of the existing Budgens store.
Proposed Side elevation of store facing Lady Jane School
In the illustration above the Yellow fronted Shop would be the Fish and Chip Shop. The Red fronted shop would be a Café or Hot Food Takeaway. The Dark Yellow fronted shop would be the Hairdressers and the Green fronted shop would be the Pharmacy.
Personally my initial reaction would be a preference to move the Café to the front and the pharmacy to the side so that the Café is in the central location. This would result in the Green fronted shop and Red fronted shop being reversed in the illustration above.
A planning application has been submitted for a proposed mixed use development in the remaining part of the old Budgens store to include four units consisting of a Pharmacy, Hairdressing Salon, Coffee Shop and Fish and Chip Shop.
The planning application number is 15/01187/FUL with full details including design and layout available on the Hinckley & Bosworth Borough Council Web Site, www.hinckley-bosworth.gov.uk. Select the planning tab and enter the application number 15/01187/FUL. Brief details taken from the application (not Ted or my comments) are also enclosed below.
The new pharmacy is to be located to the front and side of the existing building being the corner by the co-op and has been carefully sized and positioned to complement the existing building. The proposed pharmacy will have a ground floor area of 75sqm with a first floor over for storage.
A hairdressing salon is proposed adjacent to the pharmacy and will offer a full range of associated hairdressing services and beauty treatments. The proposed floor is 51sqm with a first floor over for storage.
Fish and Chip Shop / Café hot Food Takeaway
A fish and chip shop and a coffee shop, café hot food takeaway are to be incorporated in the proposal, to the rear towards Pym Ley lane for local residents and people using the shopping complex.
There is also a planning application for alterations to shop-front including roller shutters and installation of extract vents and warehouse light (retrospective)
Retrospective means the works have already been carried out without the relevant planning permission. Application number 15/01180/FUL should you wish to look at the details
Leicester Road Planning Application – Former Highways Land:
The county Council submitted a planning application earlier this year for outline planning permission for 38 houses to be built on the old A50 former Highways ground to the rear of the Leicester Road properties.
Due to the complexity of this application it is taking some time to conclude. It could be determined at the December 22nd meeting of the planning committee at Hinckley & Bosworth Borough Council but this is unlikely. It is my guess that it will be early 2016 before this is taken to the committee for determination possibly January but more likely February, March 2016.
Ted and I will let residents know as soon as we have any further information and will arrange a public meeting to discuss the next stage of the process. Thanks go to Steve who has provided lots of information regarding the flooding issues, Severn Trent and Highways.
Wallace Drive Planning Application:
An appeal has been made to the Secretary of State against Hinckley & Bosworth Borough Council planning committee to refuse the planning permission for a change of use of land at Wallace Drive to Traveller Pitches. The start date for the appeal is 9th November all representations must be received by 14th December 2015. The appeal documents are available to view on the Hinckley & Bosworth Borough Council web site by entering the appeal application number 14/01247/COU into the appeals search box. Be careful to select the appeals search box. Ted and I will be ensuring that Hinckley & Bosworth Borough Council gives sufficient resources to defend this inappropriate appeal and hope that Cllr O’Shea will do the same with regards the County Council and Highways as the Highways issues is the best defence against the appeal.
Meeting with Officers:
It would be best for the residents defence and the best possible outcome being that of a dismissal of this appeal for several residents (those mostly affected) to meet with HBBC council officers.
I am more than happy to set up a meeting with council officers as ward members Cllr Hollick and I think this could help residents with the points they wish to make at the hearing and for you to understand the case being presented by HBBC council officers. Your County Councilor Cllr O’shea should also be invited as well as a representative from Groby Parish Council.
If you are interested in attending a meeting to progress your defence please contact me on 07850 707050 or e-mail email@example.com
To be honest, anything less than everyone working together as we all share the same views on this can only be detrimental to the eventual outcome.
I am looking to setup a meeting between the above at the earliest possible opportunity

The Federal Ministry of Education and Research supports the development of the Einstein Telescope
For the next generation of gravitational-wave detectors on Earth: Laser development and squeezed-light research in Hannover
Fourteen German universities and non-university research institutions will receive a total of approximately 2 million Euros from the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF). This funding enables physicists and geophysicists to conduct research on various technological aspects of the Einstein telescope. These include, for example, seismic measurements and the development of crystalline fibers for suspending the mirrors.
At the Institute for Gravitational Physics of Leibniz Universität Hannover, in close cooperation with the Max Planck Institute for Gravitational Physics and the QuantumFrontiers Cluster of Excellence, a laser source for the Einstein Telescope Pathfinder – a prototype of the observatory – is to be developed and tested in Hannover and installed in the prototype in Maastricht. In addition, the participating researchers will investigate questions concerning the generation of squeezed light and the use of this technology in 3rd generation gravitational wave detectors. The BMBF funds will be used to finance an additional doctoral student position in Hannover.

Pokémon fans have been busy creating their own unofficial games with Pokémon characters. We just saw Pokémon Insurgence last month, and a new game developed by “Wackyturtle” is ready to play. Legends of the Arena focuses on a tournament with Pokémon Colosseum-style battles.

You then assume the role of the protagonist. The game revolves around a long-running, prestigious tournament which you and your brother decide to enter. There are eight rounds in the tournament, and each Pokémon Colosseum-style battle is equivalent to a gym battle.
It wouldn’t be a Pokémon game without an evil team. The Cult of Shadow has been dormant for years, but lately they’ve come out of hiding to manipulate the tournament for their own ends. They are the only trainers in the game to use the illegal Ghost-type Pokémon.

What you’re looking at here is a fan-made game called Pokémon Insurgence. It’s completely unofficial, but it just might be better than the real deal.
The biggest challenge in many Pokémon games is that the features come and go depending on the generation, often disappearing in later games. Kotaku notes:
Insurgence mashes together many of the cool features we’ve come to love over the years, like customization, mega evolutions, Pokémon following you in the overworld map, and secret bases—things you’d need to buy three seperate Pokemon games to experience under normal circumstances. Insurgence also adds a few quirks of its own.
These quirks include a darker storyline (its about cultists) and built-in challenges like a Nuzlocke run. There are even new Megas, Delta Pokémon and the option to deck out your Pokémon in armor.
The game isn’t out just yet, but the developer is hoping to have a demo out by the end of the year.

This frameless glass balustrade forms a ‘picture window’ into the garden outside, and, in approximately 20 seconds, descends into a void below to open the room to the exterior. It stops at a pre-set height to serve as a balustrade due to the height of the room above ground level. If it had been mounted at ground level, the design concept would allow the glass to descend until fully retracted.
After detailed architectural negotiation with local authority building control, the room insulation was increased to such an extent that the sliding glass wall was not required to be double glazed, which in turn allowed the top edge to be simply polished glass, not cluttered with all the normal framing associated with double glazing and non-structural glass. Such frameless design not only looks elegant, but also allows a maximum amount of light to flood into the room.
The gaps between the glass and all the various finishes are kept as small as possible, and yet contain seals that stop water ingress and prevent scratching of the glass as the wall moves.
To accentuate the blurring of inside and outside, the junction of the two zones is very flush and separated only by the glass. Such detailing means that the edges have to seal, but also allow persistent water to drain internally via a series of mobile internal water ducts that re-direct this water back outside. The horizontal lower edge in particular has to accommodate all the windblown water against the glass, and on the outer marble return.
The automation has an emergency manual release to be used in case of power or system failure; this will close the glass wall as required.
The single slab of glass weighs around 280kgs and was installed from beneath via the garage access.

Welcome to “The Ultimate Guide to Web Accessibility,” your comprehensive resource for creating inclusive and accessible websites that empower users of all abilities. In today’s digital age, the internet plays a vital role in our lives, connecting people, providing information, and facilitating transactions. However, without proper consideration for web accessibility, we risk excluding a significant portion of the population from fully participating in the online world.
Web accessibility encompasses the principles, techniques, and best practices that ensure websites and digital content are usable and perceivable by individuals with disabilities. It involves removing barriers and providing equal access to information, functionality, and interactive elements. By incorporating accessible design principles, developers and designers can make a positive impact, fostering inclusivity and enabling everyone to navigate, interact, and engage with web content independently.
The ultimate guide to web accessibility delves into the key aspects of web accessibility, equipping you with the knowledge and tools necessary to create websites that prioritize inclusivity and reach a broader audience. We will explore the fundamental principles of web accessibility, examine the various disabilities and challenges users may face, and offer practical techniques to address these issues effectively.
It also provides insights into the latest web accessibility tools available for organizations. Web accessibility guarantees a smooth user experience for all website visitors, regardless of their abilities. Regrettably, numerous websites fail to adhere to best practices and guidelines for web accessibility, resulting in a challenging experience for users with disabilities.
What is web accessibility?
Web accessibility is the practice of making websites usable for all visitors, including those with disabilities, impairments, and limitations. Web accessibility encompasses adhering to design principles that provide equal or similar experiences for individuals with limitations or difficulties. Accessibility is an important goal for websites, as it gives all users universal access to your content.
Who manages web accessibility on the internet?
The members of the Web Accessibility Initiative (WIP) of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) are in charge of web accessibility initiatives. They are responsible for publishing the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) and related content.
Why should you care about web accessibility?
Web accessibility makes your website — and the content on it — more user-friendly and easy-to-understand for all visitors. This includes those with disabilities and limitations such as:
- Low vision
- Learning disabilities
- Cognitive disabilities
Web accessibility is not an option, it is a must-have. By focusing on your website’s level of accessibility, you’ll enhance user experience (UX) for all your visitors, including those with disabilities. Also prioritizing web accessibility demonstrates your commitment to inclusivity. This demonstrates to your visitors, leads, and customers that you value and care about them as individuals, And in return, this type of investment will boost your brand loyalty and advocacy. Meeting web accessibility standards may sound like a good idea at this point — but is it required by law? Get all your queries answered in The Ultimate Guide to Web Accessibility!
How is web accessibility enforced?
To cut a long story short, there are no enforceable laws related to website accessibility unless you run a government website — in which case, you must abide by Section 508 guidelines. Nevertheless, the absence of a formal law mandating web accessibility does not guarantee immunity from lawsuits for your business. Numerous instances exist where prominent companies have faced legal action due to their non-compliant websites.
In fact, between 2017 and 2018, the number of federal web accessibility lawsuits increased by 181%. In the Gil v. Winn-Dixie decision, a court ruled that websites constitute “a service of public accommodation” under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). For businesses that have physical stores and websites, their websites are closely connected to their physical store locations. In other words, their websites are “gateways” to their physical stores. In other words, websites have to meet federal accessibility standards.
You can avoid legal trouble by making sure your website doesn’t prevent anyone from accessing any of the information you share. The simple way to do this is to abide by WCAG guidelines.
Web Accessibility Standards
The recent WCAG standards state four main principles to focus on when creating an accessible website. Let’s review the overall principles.
- Perceivable: Information and user interface components must be presentable to users in ways they can perceive.
- Operable — User interface components and navigation must be operable.
- Understandable — Information and the operation of user interface must be understandable.
- Robust — Content must be robust so that it can be interpreted by assistive technologies.
How to make your website accessible?
By now you might have realized that your website doesn’t quite meet WCAG standards. Or, perhaps you ran your site through an accessibility testing tool and didn’t come out with the best score.
Either way, the WCAG provides several specific guidelines for each of the four principles above that you can implement immediately. Let’s unpack these guidelines further, so you can come away with some action items to improve your site’s accessibility.
Perceivable Web Accessibility Guidelines
Offer text alternatives
All non-text items — including images, videos, and audio content — must have a text alternative. This helps non-sighted individuals to understand them. Image alt text is the most common approach to meet this guideline. You must include alt text for every non-decorative image on your website. For decorative images, include the alt attribute but leave it blank. This tells the screen reader that an image exists but can be ignored.
Offer alternative ways to consume time-based media
For audio content offer a full transcript of the recording. For video, use captions that are properly synced with the audio. Both of these help users with limited hearing capabilities.
Structure content in an adaptable way
Write your HTML files in such a way that the intended information and structure wouldn’t be lost. For example, use proper headings, ordered and unordered list elements, and bold and italic text to convey information.
Make your content is easy to see and hear
Use proper color contrast so that everyone, including those with color blindness, can read your content. They can also understand any visual information you want to convey. Additionally, users should be able to adjust any background audio on your site or halt audio playback altogether.
Operable Web Accessibility Guidelines
Ensure functionality via keyboard
There are users who don’t use a mouse or touchpad when they navigate your site. So, it’s important that all the features on your website can be accessed using only a keyboard. For instance, users should be able to jump between different elements on the page using the tab key. They must be able to “click” on the focused element using the enter/return key.
Provide ample time to engage with your website
Ensure that users can access and interact with the different types of content on your site without facing unreasonable time constraints. If there are any actions on your site that have time limits, users should have the option to extend or cancel them. This principle also applies to drop-down menus that are designed for accessibility: If a user moves away from the menu using the mouse, it is a good practice to have a time delay before the menu disappears.
Avoid blinking/flashing content
As per W3C guidelines, content that blinks or flashes more than three times in a second has the potential to cause seizures. It is recommended to avoid such content altogether. However, if it’s unavoidable for some reason, it is crucial to provide a warning.
Provide clear navigation to guide users
Use clear page title, meaningful links, a keyboard focus indicator, and proper headings to allow users to know where they are on your site, and locate clickable elements.
Understandable Web Accessibility Guidelines
Make text content readable
Consider your potential target audience when you draft your content. Make sure your readers, including those with disabilities, understand your writing. Avoid using complex jargon and regional slang whenever possible.
Structure your pages and site logically
When organizing the structure and navigation of your website, arrange your navigational links and pages in a manner that feels intuitive to visitors. This often involves placing navigation above the visible area of the page, commonly in the header (and footer).
Write helpful error messages
Nobody enjoys encountering an error message, so ensure to deliver a concise explanation of the error along with instructions to assist visitors in rectifying their mistakes.
Robust Web Accessibility Guidelines
Create HTML that can be parsed
Assistive technologies rely on a web page’s HTML file to convert its contents into a different format. Therefore, it’s crucial to write well-structured HTML code. In terms of accessibility, this involves using appropriate start and end tags, avoiding duplicate IDs across elements, and refraining from using duplicate attributes within the same HTML tag.
Now that you grasp the concept and significance of web accessibility, along with the guidelines, let’s explore some useful tools that can aid you in enhancing the accessibility of your website.
Web Accessibility Tools
There are a variety of web accessibility testing tools available today. W3C website shows a list of web accessibility tools for you to learn more about each tool and compare their features. We have highlighted a few options below to provide insight into the capabilities these accessibility tools have.
accessibilityCheck offers a thorough audit of digital documents in any format (PDF, Word, etc.,) using a cloud-based multi-document audit and compliance report module. The documents are assessed for accessibility compliance against PDF/UA standards and WCAG guidelines.
WAVE by WebAIM offers multiple tools to help you evaluate the accessibility of your website. They provide a visual representation of the areas on your website that could use improvement to be more accessible.
To begin, enter your site URL, and Wave will highlight which areas of your site don’t meet WCAG standards. You’ll also get a human audit and review of your website’s content.
DYNO Mapper by Indigo Design Company LLC is a sitemap generator — meaning it uses sitemaps to display the accessibility of your website after conducting content inventories and audits as well as keyword tracking.
The tool also integrates with Google Analytics to allow in-depth analyses with identifiable areas for accessibility improvement. Dyno Mapper will test all types of sites for you, including public, private, and online apps, so it scores points for its thoroughness.
SortSite by PowerMapper evaluates the accessibility of your website as a whole or specific web pages in just one click. The tool uses 1,200 different guidelines and standards to determine a site’s accessibility. Some of the main categories of accessibility SortSite reviews on your site include broken links, compatibility, SEO, privacy, web standards, and usability.
A11Y Color Contrast Accessibility Validator
A11Y Color Contrast Accessibility Validator by A11Y Company displays the color contrast issues on your website or web pages. In the tool, you can test by URL or a specific set of colors (by using their hex codes or locations on the color wheel). The tool shows ideas and recommendations for fixing color contrast errors to meet WCAG standards, wherever it detects them.
Web accessibility examples
What better illustration can be found than the organization responsible for establishing these accessibility standards? W3C exemplifies all the necessary components of an accessible website, such as meticulously organized HTML featuring explicit tags to indicate structure, optimal color contrast, straightforward language, and a prominent focus indicator for the currently selected page element.
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
The CDC website, a government resource, prioritizes accessibility and provides information on how it meets and surpasses Section 508 accessibility standards. Visitors can also contact the website regarding web accessibility concerns. The site features user-friendly navigation options to cater to diverse needs and offers various content formats (written, audio, video) for visitors to access information according to their preferences.
The White House
Similar to the previously mentioned websites, The White House, being a government site, ensures an inclusive experience for all users. Upon landing on the homepage, users are presented with options to toggle high contrast and adjust text size. Alt text is also provided, ensuring accessibility for visually impaired users. Additionally, the accessibility statement page can be accessed at the bottom of the website to gather more information on accessibility features.
Designing Websites for Everyone
By ensuring your site is accessible, you’re simply doing the right thing for the people who matter most to your business — your visitors and customers. Be sure to use the tools listed above in the ultimate guide to web accessibility. And also review the examples we listed for inspiration when making your site accessible!

Famously paired with Dean Martin at the beginning of their careers (July 25, 1946 - July 24, 1956). Reportedly considered a comedic genius in France, some say because he conforms to the idea the French have of Americans. He appeared in many films, including The Nutty Professor, The Bellboy and Boeing Boeing, featuring his zany character, and The King of Comedy, a serious film in which he plays a late-night TV host kidnapped by an obsessive fan.
Lewis also starred in the unreleased film The Day The Clown Cried, believed by many to be a milestone in unintentional bad taste.

It has been a rough couple of years at Southwestern Theological Seminary in Fort Worth and for the Southern Baptist Convention generally. We have learned a lot about the dark underbelly of the so-called “conservative takeover” of the Convention that took place in the 1980s. Here are just a few of my posts over the last year:
Southwestern has been at the heart of many of these SBC problems. According to this article at SBC Voices, the seminary is releasing 25 faculty members and closing its Houston campus. (I wonder if this prison program will close).
Southwestern has also decided to remove stained glass windows devoted to two of the architects of the conservative takeover: Paige Patterson and Paul Pressler. Both were accused of sexual misconduct last year.
Here is a taste of Jacob Lupfer’s piece at Religion News Service:
Pressler and Patterson eventually went from a metaphorical pedestal to actual stained glass. At Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in Fort Worth, Texas, where Patterson was president, donors raised funds to immortalize leading figures of the conservative resurgence in the school’s chapel windows. The project originally intended to memorialize as many as 70 modern-day conservative Southern Baptist heroes.
Throughout Christian history, churches and cathedrals have used the medium of stained glass to tell the stories of prophets, apostles, saints and the Lord himself. The controversial Southwestern chapel window project, overseen by Dorothy Patterson, Paige’s wife, nicely illustrates the post-takeover SBC’s ahistorical infatuation with itself.
Normally, Christians allow the weight of history or the ecumenical consensus of the ages to decide which heroes of the faith to commit to stained glass. At a minimum, they wait until the honorees have died. But the Pattersons jumped the gun, and their brethren among the SBC powerful were too blinded by their own uncritical adulation for the conservative resurgence to stop them.
With no fanfare, and to the secret relief of many, the windows came down last week. This may reflect a preference for unadorned churches by the more Calvinistic leadership at the seminary, which until recently was a holdout among the SBC’s seminaries for resisting efforts to infuse the Southern Baptist Convention with Reformed theology.
More likely, the windows are untenable amid reconsiderations of Pressler and Patterson themselves. Patterson, 76, was forced out as Southwestern Seminary’s president last year, in part for mishandling sexual misconduct allegations years earlier at another seminary, and Pressler, 88, has been accused of sexual misconduct going back 40 years.
A spokesman for the seminary offered no comment on the windows removal when I called, beyond what was reported in the Alabama Baptist newspaper. The paper quotes an April 3 letter signed by trustee chairman Kevin Ueckert, which gave no reason for the removal, saying only, “After much prayerful consideration and discussion, we have concluded that it is in the best interest of the institution to remove and relocate the stained-glass windows.”

In this paper, hydroelectric power generation system able to extract the water flow energy from the hydroelastic response of an elastically supported rectangular wing is experimentally investigated. Except for a vertical wing, supported in the manner of a cantilever, the generator has no other parts submerged in water. An electric motor is used to excite pitching oscillations of the wing. Both the wing and the electric motor are supported by leaf springs which are design to work both as a linear guide for the sway oscillations and as elastic elements. The wing mass in sway direction necessary to achieve a hydroelastic response is obtained by using a mechanical snubber mechanism. The appropriate load to generate electricity is provided by magnetic dampers. By employing the linear potential hydrodynamic theory, a theoretical analysis was performed to model the water channel tests on the power generation system and to determine its structural and hydrodynamic features. Tests revealed that the proposed power generation system is feasible and able to work with an efficiency of 32-37%.

Impactful winter storm set to bring heavy rain, wind to the Brazos Valley
Tuesday will just be a mess across Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, and Louisiana
BRYAN, Texas (KBTX) - A high-impact winter storm will make a mess of Texas Tuesday. For the Brazos Valley, plan on a hefty chill, windy/gusty conditions, heavy rain, and maybe even a few rumbles of thunder. While winter weather is not expected locally, several inches of snow are expected to fall from the Panhandle to Oklahoma, the Red River, and across parts of North and West Texas.
MOST IMPORTANT THINGS TO KNOW: THE SHORT OF THE LONG
- There is a 100% chance for rain in the Brazos Valley Tuesday. This does not mean that it will rain all day long, but all 16 counties in the forecast area are expected to see some sort of rain during this event
- The overall severe weather threat is low or near-non-existent. This does not mean that the rain and/or storms that move through the Brazos Valley will not be impactful.
- Light, scattered rain is possible as early as sunrise Tuesday. The main round of active weather is expected between late morning and mid-afternoon. Fast, heavy, wind-blown rain is expected that could leave behind several inches in a short amount of time. Localized street or low-lying flooding is possible, particularly across the southern and eastern sides of the area where rain totals are expected to be highest.
- 1″ to 2″ of rain should be the general outcome for this event. Higher 2.5″ - 3″ totals are possible across the southern and eastern reaches of the area. Closer to Houston, storms may interact with deeper moisture to allow localized 4″+ to fall. This is something that will be monitored particularly for Austin, Waller, Montgomery, and San Jacinto Counties.
- Wind gusts associated with and without rain are expected to be strong. A sustained wind of 15-25mph may occasionally peak as high as 30-40mph. As the expected line of heavy rain moves through, a few gusts upwards of 45mph are not ruled out. The National Weather Service has already mentioned that a WIND ADVISORY will likely be issued for the area.
- Plan on a chill! Temperatures will already be on the cooler side, only reaching the low 50s by midday. Once the heaviest rain and associated cold front pass, a small drop-off to the 40s is expected by end of the day. Factor in the breezy/gusty wind and it will feel more like the upper 30s/low 40s by 4-5pm.
- Drive to work and school: Scattered rain and a bit wet. Drive home from work and school (for most): dry and brisk. As the Brazos Valley falls on the underbelly of this weather maker by late afternoon, dry air will shut down rain chances from west to east in time for the evening drive.
The track of this storm system is exceptionally important for what type of weather falls and when across Texas. As of the latest data, there is high confidence in the track keeping wintry weather well north of the Brazos Valley. As new data continues to come in, updates to the forecast can be found at KBTX.com, in your KBTX PinPoint Weather app, and on-air throughout the day.

With writer/director Declan O’Brien currently filming Wrong Turn 5 in Bulgaria, here’s an official casting update from the studio which just landed in our inbox. Read on for details!
As we previously reported (and can now confirm), television actress Camilla Arfwedson has joined the cast of the film as ‘Sheriff Angela,’ the female lead who finds herself at odds with the series’ backwoods nemeses. Joining her are actors Simon Ginty as ‘Billy,’ Oliver Hoare as ‘Julian,’ Amy Lennox as ‘Cruz,’ Paul Luebke (Djinn) as ‘Gus,’ Duncan Wisbey as ‘Mose,’ Kyle Redmond-Jones (The Edge of Love) as ‘Deputy Biggs’ and Peter Brooke as ‘Jason,’ with the previously reported horror vet Doug Bradley (Hellraiser) accompanying them for what will undoubtedly be some rather grisly happenings. No confirmation as of yet on the rumored casting of Roxanne McKee (“Game of Thrones”) from 20th Century Fox, although as the above is a partial cast list, her attachment is certainly a possibility.
Dread Central will be on the set of Wrong Turn 5 next week so stayed tuned for regular updates, exclusive video diaries, photos and more.
In the next chilling chapter of Wrong Turn, a small West Virginia town is hosting the legendary Mountain Man Festival on Halloween, where throngs of costumed partygoers gather for a wild night of music and mischief. But an inbred family of hillbilly cannibals kill the fun when they trick and treat themselves to a group of visiting college students who are dying for a good time…

Sounding the Amazon
© Slavek Kwi
In October 2011 I was invited to participate in the 6th Annual Mamori Sound Project, a residency for composers and sound artists on Mamori Lake, in the heart of the Brazilian Amazon. The expedition is designed as an intensive immersion into the sonic environments of the rainforest and involves field work and theoretical workshops with a focus on creative field recording and the exploration of natural sound environments.
The Mamori Sound Project is conceived and directed by Francisco López, internationally recognised as one of the major figures of the sound art and experimental music scene. Unlike similar residencies, Lopez avoids a technical focus and directs the process towards the realisation of a collective project with the interaction of all participating composers. All these activities are organised in a daily schedule according to the changing rhythms and sonic environments of the rainforest.
The Amazon Jungle, commonly referred to as the lungs of the world, is the largest and most bio-diverse rainforest on earth. The ecosystem of Mamori Lake is a lowland tropical rainforest with lush vegetation and abundant wildlife. The rich diversity of insects and birdlife provide a constant soundscape, while the Amazon river dolphins and elusive howler monkeys add rich layers to this captivating sonic environment.
The journey to Mamori Lake was an adventure in itself, multiple boats and buses interspersed with heavy rainstorms and balancing acts with recording equipment. The intensive schedule meant we were often working until 2am and sometimes up at 4am to travel to another location for a dawn recording session. Combine this with intensive heat and malaria pills, and the days quickly began to blur together. Despite this, I can easily say this was one of the most pivotal experiences for me as a composer, not just in the incredible sound material I collected (over fifteen hours), but in my approach to listening and creatively responding to the natural environment.
I was particularly interested in recording the Amazon river dolphin, a creature with sophisticated echolocation that navigates the dark waters of the river with sound. This experience alone would be one of my most memorable recording sessions, sitting in small boats in the middle of the night with hydrophones draped over the edge listening intently to the enthralling soundscape of dolphins deep below. I distinctly remember sliding my headphones off and being just as captivated by the soundscape above the water; sparse silence broken by dolphins breaching and blowing water.
This field recording, and many more from the trip, is a perfectly orchestrated sonic experience, a sophisticated composition from the natural environment.
Field recording is an opportunity to open our ears to the infinite possibilities of sound and develop an acute auditory awareness of our sonic surroundings, which we often ignore in a visually dominant society. Just the simple process of listening to the natural environment can teach us so much about music and how to solve compositional problems. We have much to learn from the rhythms of the natural world and the Amazon is certainly a profound sonic experience like no other.

Studies indicate that a large energy saving can be realized by applying automatic fault detection and diagnosis (AFDD) to building systems, which consumes more than 40% of the primary energy in the U.S. To enable AFDD, a baseline depicting the normal operation mode is needed to detect whether the building operation deviates from normality. Different from many other systems, a building system behaves differently under different weather conditions and hence needs its baseline model to reflect such weather dependence. Existing research shows baseline constructed using nonlinear mathematical models has performed well. However, determining the sample size, which is necessary to capture the totality of data space needed for accurate baseline construction, relies on trial-and-error experiments conducted offline. There is a lack of easy-to-use method that can provide guidance on whether enough sample size has been collected for baseline construction. In this research, we have developed a data-driven approach for AFDD baseline model construction based on information entropy, in conjunction with enthalpy, a measurement of outdoor air conditions to reflect weather conditions. The developed method is compared with our previously-reported baseline construction method using real building data.

Midnight Sun Herbal Health
A Complementary and Alternative Health Practice
Qi Therapy includes several hands on body work modalities that are based in work with the body energy. These include: Polarity Therapy, Acupressure, Cranial Sacral, trigger point and myo facial release.
Polarity Therapy, a hand’s on, energy based bodywork modality is a form of Qi therapy. It works with the the body's vital Life Energy, the Qi, Prana and is done on a clothed body. Our Vital Life Energy is affected by touch, movement, diet, sound, laughter, relationship, trauma/stress, emotions, etc., and expresses itself in all parts of life, on the physical, mental and emotional levels. Illness, stress, improper diet and lifestyle create imbalances and blocks in the flow of the Qi. Through a Qi Therapy session these imbalances and blocks that prevent the Vital Life Energy from moving freely through out the body are released, which sets the stage for better health. Polarity Therapy like Acupuncture, another energy based modality works well as an adjunct to herbal therapies to relieve stresses and imbalances that are created by illness. Polarity Therapy is an excellent choice for individuals who have an anversion to needles.
WHAT CAN Qi THERAPY DO FOR YOU?
You are likely to feel deeply relaxed and revitalized after a session. Qi Therapy can give relief from specific problematic health situations both on the physical and emotional levels, because the effects go very deeply. This includes problems with tight and painful muscles to problems with stress, insomnia, headaches, etc.
WHERE DO THE THERAPIES COME FROM?
Polarity Therapy was developed by Dr. Randolph Stone, DO, DC, ND (Chiropractor, Osteopath and Naturopath) (1890-1981). Dr. Stone studied Ayurvedic Medicine and Chinese Medicine extensively. He based Polarity Therapy mainly in the Ayurvedic tradition and its underlying principles of pulsation of energy; neutral, positive and negative, as formulated by the ancient masters from India. Bodil has been a certified Polarity Therapist since 1996.

The city I live in has rental bikes everywhere at a very cheap price, so I’ve decided that this year I want to try cycling as a new way of exercising. But I was wondering, what are the benefits of cycling? Let’s take a look!
Firstly, cycling is a good form of cardio which is low-impact and beneficial for building strength and stamina. According to one source, regular cyclists enjoy fitness levels equal to those of a person ten years younger! So it’s a great way to improve fitness without trying too hard!
Secondly, cycling doesn’t require much skill – it’s something most of us learnt as children, so it’s pretty easy just to hop on a bike and start using it without worrying that you’re doing it wrong!
Another thing that’s good about it is that it’s a fun way to exercise while exploring, so you don’t get bored. It’s easy to fit it into your lifestyle, and it is very adaptable – you can use it as a form of transport and it can be as high or low intensity as you want.
On a similar note, it’s really good for your mental well-being because it combines two things that are known to improve mental health and mood – exercise and being outdoors. Cycling by yourself gives you time to think and clear your mind, while cycling with others promotes friendship and support.
Another benefit is that it can improve efficiency – one study found that people who exercised before work or during their lunch break performed better at work, were more motivated and dealt better with stressful situations.
Plus when you feel tired it can actually give you more energy – even a few minutes of physical activity can lower fatigue levels and make you feel more awake!
The last point I have discovered is that it’s a good way to replace bad habits or addictions – if you can get addicted to a fun physical activity you can avoid unhealthy addictions such as overeating or drinking alcohol, and you’ll feel much better for it!
