Whole System Design is increasingly being seen as one of the most cost-effective ways to both increase the productivity and reduce the negative environmental impacts of an engineered system. A focus on design is critical, as the output from this stage of the project locks in most of the economic and environmental performance of the designed system throughout its life, which can span from a few years to many decades. Indeed, it is now widely acknowledged that all designers - particularly engineers, architects and industrial designers - need to be able to understand and implement a whole system design approach. This book provides a clear design methodology, based on leading efforts in the field, and is supported by worked examples that demonstrate how advances in energy, materials and water productivity can be achieved through applying an integrated approach to sustainable engineering. Chapters 1-5 outline the approach and explain how it can be implemented to enhance the established Systems Engineering framework. Chapters 6-10 demonstrate, through detailed worked examples, the application of the approach to industrial pumping systems, passenger vehicles, electronics and computer systems, temperature control of buildings, and domestic water systems. Published with The Natural Edge Project, the World Federation of Engineering Organizations, UNESCO and the Australian Government.

At a time when there is a general clampdown on imports from China, Indian ore exports to that country have been instrumental in the Nifty 50 index touching a five-month high on Tuesday.
Metal stocks have led the recovery as China’s import of Indian iron ore is the highest since 2012 due to signs of a recovery in Chinese economic activity.
In the first six months of the year, India shipped 20 million tons of iron ore as against less than 10 million tons during the same period last year. The record for iron ore shipments over six months stands at 27.8 million tons in January-June 2012.
However, for China, sourcing of Indian iron ore is a fraction of its total consumption. During the first six months of the current calendar year, China imported 547.2 million tons of ore of which 20 million tons from India. Iron ore futures in Singapore have also risen after Rio Tinto Group, a much larger supplier, reported robust demand from China.

Trade expects lower USDA crop numbers
The USDA is scheduled to release its monthly Crop Production and Supply/Demand Reports next Wednesday, November 9.
In general, the trade is expecting the USDA to lower corn and soybean yields in the November data.
This week, two private firms released early corn estimates for next week's report, both came in higher than the USDA's previous estimate. The two private firms estimate the average U.S. 2011 corn yield at 148.4 bushels per acre and 149.5, up from the government's October yield estimate of 148.1 bpa.
Separately, AgResource Inc. expects a corn yield of 145 bushels per acre and a 40.4 soybean yield estimate.
Dan Basse, AgResource Inc. research director, just doesn't think the farmers got the crop this year that they wanted. "Farmers joke with us. They tell us they got 240 bushel corn. After a long pause, the farmer will say I got 200 bushels at one end of the field and 40 at the other end. And that is the variability that we have seen this year," Basse says.
Basse adds, "From our producer data that we collect from combine reports, we think yields are going down not only in November but January's report also."
After being bombarded with world economic turmoil and a fledgling brokerage firm, next week's report will give the corn, soybean and wheat markets a chance to focus on fundamentals, Basse says.
"Getting the numbers will be one thing for the market to consider. But, longterm the corn market has a rationing function to accomplish, which is why we have seen cash basis run up 40-50 cents. We also see shortages of corn in the eastern Corn Belt even larger than last year.
Aside from yields, the USDA is seen cutting their soybean export estimate due to lagging sales pace.
Jim Bower, Bower Trading Inc., says the USDA could be hard-pressed to leave its export numbers alone.
"While the U.S. has sold 35 million bushels of corn to China since the last supply/usage revisions, there has not been enough of a lag in shipments to others and increased South American production prospects for the USDA to leave its export projection unchanged," Bower wrote in a customer newsletter Friday.
U.S. Ending Stocks
Aside from seeing the report as a 'yawner', Tim Hannagan, PFGBest.com senior grain analyst, will be eyeing what the USDA will use to adjust feed usage and demand. "Will they do like the last two months and lower usage to offset declining production to curb fear that we're running out of corn and beans? Or, will USDA use what they traditionally do and take the prior months usage figures to apply to the crop report," Hannagan says.
If the prior months figures are used, U.S. corn ending stocks will drop, as the cattle on feed report showed a surge in cattle placed on feed to be fattened on corn and the October weekly export sales were double the September average, Hannagan says.
A modest increase in world grain production is expected in next week's report, Basse says.
Beyond the Report
Once the report is out and digested, some analysts see another correction in corn prices, as demand has slowed on the recent price. "China, a key player, and other importers' buying needs have been met on price corrections. And they are backing off on rallies," Hannagan says.
Overall, this report should shed some light on the corn and soybean demand argument and trying to understand if the world's slowing economy has had an impact on world demand, Basse says.

She she has given dozens of media interviews in the U.S. and around the globe on the subject of southern history and culture, especially on the topic of Confederate monuments. She appeared in Henry Louis Gates’s PBS documentary Reconstruction: America after the Civil War, Lucy Worsley’s American History’s Biggest Fibs for the BBC, and the documentary The Neutral Ground, which examines the underlying history of Confederate monuments and their removal in New Orleans. Her next project explores the Rhythm Club fire, which took the lives of more than 200 African Americans in Natchez, Mississippi, in 1940.
Restorative Justice Archaeology in the Heart of Black Wall Street
Dr. Alicia Odewale (maiden name Ware) was born and raised in Tulsa, OK. She is both a living descendant of a survivor of the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre and a graduate of Booker T. Washington High School, a historically Black high school created during Oklahoma’s Jim Crow era and one of the few structures that survived the attack on Greenwood in 1921. As an educator, archaeologist, community activist, descendant, native Tulsan, and a Black woman, she continues to be a fierce advocate for the inclusion of archaeology in the history of Greenwood and for increased diversity across the field of archaeology. After making history as the first person to graduate with a PhD in Anthropology from The University of Tulsa and the first Black person to join their anthropology department, she now enjoys her role as both an African Diaspora Archaeologist and National Geographic Explorer. Today, she continues to share the power of archaeology and Black community resilience through her National Geographic Live show “Greenwood: A Century of Resilience”, as well as an ongoing partnership with HBCUs and the Disney on the Yard program, and through her work as a Wayfinder for National Geographic’s 2892 Miles to Go: Geographic Walk for Justice Project. She is also the co-creator of the #TulsaSyllabus, an online resource guide that dives into the history and archaeology of Black enslavement, landownership, anti-black violence, and the rise of prosperous Black communities in Oklahoma. And serves as the co-creator of the Estate Little Princess Archaeological Field School in St. Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands that trains local students in archaeological methods and other STEM-related skills for free. While her research in Greenwood and the U.S. Virgin Islands centralizes restorative justice, anti-racist, community-based and Black feminist archaeologies, her work with National Geographic provides an opportunity for her to go beyond the classroom and share her work in new and innovative ways with the world. Her research has received awards and support from the National Geographic Society, American Anthropological Association, the National Science Foundation, the Society of Historical Archaeology, the Tulsa Race Massacre Centennial Commission, the Tulsa Community Foundation, and the Digital Archaeological Archive of Comparative Slavery (DAACS).
The Arts of Remembrance: William and Mary’s Memorial to the Enslaved
William & Mary has a storied past and for over 300 years, a significant part of the narrative was left out of the telling. Like so many institutions of higher education, north and south, William & Mary's hidden history includes a slaveholding past. For 172 years, the economy of the institution, like the economy of the country, was dependent upon the labor of enslaved people. It is this story that must be brought out of the shadows and into public view. Hearth: Memorial to the Enslaved is one step toward recognizing this part of the university’s story.
Jody Lynn Allen, Ph.D., a native of Hampton, Virginia and an Assistant Professor of History at William & Mary, focuses her research on U.S. Civil War through the Long Civil Rights Movement, specifically on black agency. As the Robert Francis Engs Director of The Lemon Project: A Journey of Reconciliation, she works to uncover, make public, and address William & Mary’s 330-year relationship with African Americans on the campus and in the Williamsburg and Greater Tidewater area. During the 2017-2018 academic year, Allen was a visiting assistant professor of history at the University of the South where she taught African American History and consulted with Sewanee’s Roberson Project on Slavery, Race, and Reconciliation. Her current manuscript is Roses in December: Black Life in Hanover County, Virginia During the Era of Disenfranchisement. She is also working with a colleague on a documentary film, "The Green Light," on a Virginia school desegregation case, and she co-authored "Recovering a 'Lost' Story Using Oral History: The United States Supreme Court's Historic Green v. New Kent County, Virginia, Decision" in The Oral History Review.

Woven Wind: Art, Performance, Memory, and Healing
Woven Wind is a multi-layered research project that constructs an artistic platform for education, conversation, empathy, and healing in a time of social and racial reckoning and division. It draws from artistic translations of the extensive plantation records and photographs of the Quitman and Lovell families of Civil-War-era Mississippi combined with contemporary testimonies of the descendants of people these families enslaved.
Vesna Pavlović (Serbia/USA) obtained her MFA degree in Visual Arts from Columbia University in New York in 2007. She is an Associate Professor of Art at Vanderbilt University in Nashville. Her projects examine the evolving relationship between memory in contemporary culture and the technologies of photographic image production. Expanding the photographic image beyond its frame, traditional format, and the narrative is central to her artistic strategies. She examines photographic representation of specific political and cultural histories, which include photographic archives and related artifacts. Pavlović joined the Roberson Project on Slavery, Race, and Reconciliation, at the University of the South in 2018. In her initial encounter with the Sewanee Archives, in partnership with Professor Woody Register, she worked with History students to present archival records for the Sewanee community. During a community screening at Sewanee’s historic Convocation Hall in 2018, students read the names of the enslaved found in the Archives, concerned that presenting their findings in any other way would further perpetuate objectification and trauma.

A native of New Orleans, Mélisande began her studies at Georgetown in August of 2017 after retiring from a lengthy culinary career. Mélisande will lead workshops with artists and students. The project team connected with Méli during the Georgetown Memory Project workshop, centered on the ethics of connecting with living descendants of people enslaved.
A native born Chicagoan, Rod McGaha is a visual artist and musician who first showed up on Chicago's jazz scene as a young prodigy during an era when young lions were making more than just a little roar. Learning under and garnering the attention of legends like Von Freeman and Clark Terry, MaGaha received an invite from Wynton Marsalis himself, to come to New York and audition for a spot as one of the newest young lions in Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers where he felt that life was calling him in a different direction, to be a different kind of lion. McGaha has played concerts in Egypt, Japan, Germany, South Africa, Poland and Mexico. He has played in bands for Kenny Rogers, Bebe and CeCe Winans and Shelby Lynne while also blessing the stages of Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, and Chicago's legendary Jazz Showcase
Mississippi civil rights veteran Jan Hillegas has helped hundreds of families learn about their Mississippi ancestors and documents other history through New Mississippi, Inc. She co-edited the Mississippi narratives of formerly enslaved people and has compiled preliminary lists of people legally executed and lynched in the state. She remains active in progressive movements and works toward a Jackson resource center for learning from her 56-year archive (firstname.lastname@example.org), archives of others, and intergenerational conversations. For Woven Wind, she found records linking Monmouth servants to living members of the Toles family and is continuing to search for additional descendants from John A. Quitman's several plantations.
Marlos E’van is a Nashville based artist who interweaves different mediums such as painting, performance, and filmmaking to create worlds in which their art recollects black histories: joy, pain, celebration, sorrow, and complex emotions from reenacted scenes of American histories. A subtle vernacular in expression has caught recognition from such publications such as Hyperallergic and Native Magazine. In addition to their work as an artist, E’van co-founded/co-designs M-SPAR, McGruder Social Practice Artist Residency out of the McGruder Center in North Nashville. Working as an educator in a hard-hit redlined Nashville neighborhood, E’van actively listens to their pupils, gathering stories that also inform E’van’s paintings. Their own life creates first-person narratives in paintings targeting marginalization, stemming from a queer black history rooted in their home state of Mississippi. E’van’s work is included in multiple Southern collections, and has been shown in Virginia, Tennessee, Georgia, and New York. They have been awarded the Mellon Foundation for McGruder, and the Metro Arts Thrive grant. Marlos received their B.F.A. from Watkins College of Art, Nashville, TN.
Memory Projects In and For the Digital Age
Over the past decade, many institutions of higher education have begun to publicly examine and embrace their historical roles in the injustices and legacies of slavery and its afterlife. Until recently, there was no common, shared method for collecting, organizing, and describing historical data from the rich archival holdings of all these institutions. The absence of a common, shared approach to documenting, describing, and organizing the data derived from the archival records relating these histories limited researchers understanding of the lives and experiences of the enslaved across these institutional contexts, retarded search and discovery across collections, and constrained the possibilities of a broader analysis of American educational institutions’ historical involvement in slavery and segregation. During this session, Dr. Sharon Leon, Associate Professor of History and Digital Humanities at Michigan State University and director of both the On These Grounds project and the Omeka suite of web publishing platforms, will conduct a wide-ranging conversation with Dr. Woody Register (Sewanee) and Dr. Tiffany Momon (Sewanee) about the promise and peril of efforts to develop and implement a common approach to representing this historical information in a digital environment.
Making Treason Odious Again: Perspectives on the Congressional Naming Commission and the Army's War on the Lost Cause
For the past two years, Connor Williams worked as Lead Historian for the Naming Commission—an eight-member bi-partisan panel created by the United States Congress. Charged with identifying all the nation’s Confederacy-commemorating Department of Defense assets and creating a plan for their removal or modification, the Commission identified more than 1,000 Department of Defense items with Confederate association. These items spanned the gamut of prominence and controversy, from fairly minor displays, paintings, and conference rooms to the names of iconic installations like Fort Benning or Fort Bragg. Their reports and recommendations to Congress were delivered and published in September 2022. After Congressional review, the Secretary of Defense will implement them throughout 2023. As Lead Historian, Williams guided and contributed to many facets of the public conversations, historical investigations, and institutional changes that the Naming Commission took up. With work striding the traditions of academia and the exigencies and interests of Washington, he experienced how memory, history, bureaucracy, politics, publicity and policy all interplayed in this movement to guide the nation's military commemorations away from historical treason and racism and towards a future more representative of the ideals for which it fights. In taking on this national service, Williams continued lines of historical inquiry and interest he began at Yale University, where he both conducted doctoral study on the politics of commemoration and participated in Yale's own renaming debates and discussions surrounding Calhoun College. Williams participated in discussions that established a set of "Principles on Renaming," which will guide Yale's actions on all future renaming issues. Most immediately, they resulted in renaming Calhoun College to instead honor Admiral Grace Hopper.

text: Ok now this is weird. I did a format a couple of days ago (clean install, no repair) and now i have a lagspike every 130 seconds. Symptoms: When playing online in f1 2010, every 2minutes and 10seconds i get a lagspike that lasts 1sec to 1 and a half seconds. It goes like this "STUTTER...stutter.stutter". One big stutter followed by 2 or 3 small stutters. This happens the moment i join a server, so it happens in the lobby aswell. You know, when the camera slowly pans in the lobby i noticed it happens there aswell. It doesnt matter if im the host or not either. So basically it starts the moment i join an online session. This is very anoying.In singleplayer it does not happen, not in carreer nor in timetrial. Besides f1 i also play bad company 2. It runs smooth without any sign of lagspikes. And the data sent from and to the server is much higher in BC2 then in F1. What i have tried so far: My first instinct when i first noticed the lagspikes was "lower the graphics". So i did that but even on the lowest settings possible it still gave me the lagspikes online. I reinstalled DirectX from the disk to make sure i had all the nessesary .dll's installed required to run F1 optimal. Still no luck. So i started thinking if i had somehow forgotten to install something important after i formatted. But i couldn't think of anything. I'm quite used to formatting pc's. I installed the latest chipset driver for my motherboard(asus p6t) right after the format(which is still the same version of the previous format 6 months ago or something). Installed the latest catalyst driver for the gpu(hd6870), the soundcard driver(xfi titanium), network driver and logitech setpoint for mouse and keyboard. After that i ran windows update. I doublechecked the bios setting to see if anything had changed or was out of the ordinairy but i couldn't spot anything. All seemed fine. After ruling out a driver issue or graphics issue i started to concentrate on a possible connection problem. I got a 50mb cable connection which is very solid. I have reset the router and the modem to start with. Browsing the web goes normal, streaming video's are smooth and downloading files goes without problems with speeds up to 4.5mb/sec. And as mentioned before i can play Bad Company 2 online without problems. Then i installed spybot search and destroy to check for possible spyware. I dont auto-accept cookies and use an extra plugin in firefox to block flash cookies so i was fairly sure of a clean result. And it was clean, no spyware found. I then downloaded and installed AVG and ran a scan, clean again. Then i installed Comodo firewall to replace windows firewall. I accepted all trafic for F1 2010 but still the lagspikes remained. I also tried closing down windows marketplace after starting the game but still no luck. I also reinstalled GFWL. This is when i started monitoring the time on the lagspikes and came to the conclusion that it happens every 130 seconds. And thats also where i'm at now... clueless. Something is doing something every 130 seconds and i dont have the faintest idea what it is. All i know is that it happens only when playing F1 2010 online, the moment i enter a lobby. I hope someone can help me out because i'm all out of ideas.

"The time was right," retired Brig. Gen. Elmer Brooks is quoted as saying in an Air Force public affairs release ahead of this month's 50th ICBM anniversary. "The U.S. was engaged in a tense Cold War and an arms race with the U.S.S.R. Rocket, guidance, and nuclear warhead technologies matured to the extent that combining them in an ICBM was feasible. ICBMs provided the capability to strike targets with a nuclear bomb virtually anywhere in the world within 35 minutes of launch with no known defenses."

Lecture 1 (September 22):
What is Science? What is Astronomy?
Chapter 1: Sections 1, 2, 6, 8.
Science must describe natural phenomena in
the universe based on rational, mathematical reasoning. Quantitative
explanations are subject to test by experiment and observation.
Astronomy is about every object or event we
observe on the sky.
What are the conditions for any body of
knowledge to be science?
What part of science is astronomy?
Why does science oppose authority?
Lecture 2 (September 23):
The Celestial Sphere: Stars, Angles on the Sky, Daily Motion.
Sections 1.5, 2.1, 2.2, 2.3.
The celestial sphere is the map of angular
positions of all stars on an imaginary sphere around the Earth. It tells
us the direction to each star, but it does not tell the distance.
Separations between stars or sizes of objects
on the sky are measured in angles.
The North Celestial Pole is the projection of
the North Pole onto the celestial sphere. The celestial Equator is the
projection of the Earth's equator onto the celestial sphere.
The rotation of the Earth causes the apparent
daily motion of the stars.
How do stars move on the sky relative to the
horizon of an observer on Earth?
Why do they move that way?
How is the separation between two stars on the
celestial sphere measured?
What is the zenith?
What is the North Celestial Pole?
Lecture 3 (September 24):
Apparent Motion of the Sun. The Seasons. Sidereal day.
Section 2.5, Box 2.2
The seasons are caused by the tilt of the
axis of the Earth. Winter: days are shorter and the Sun is lower over the
The Sun is seen to move over the sky in one
year relative to the stars. This is why we see different stars at night at
The Earth spins 366.25 times in a year relative
to the distant stars. The sidereal day is one spin relative to the distant
stars. The solar day is the time between two successive passes of the Sun
across the Meridian, and is slightly longer than the sidereal day.
What is the reason for the seasons?
Why do we see different stars at night in
the different seasons?
What time of the year does the Sun reach its
maximum height over the horizon in South Africa?
How many times does the Earth spin around its
own axis during a year?
Week 2 (September 27 - October 1) :
Lecture 4 (September 27):
Measuring the Earth: the Eratosthenes Method.
Section 1.5, Box 1.1, Section 3.6.
Eratosthenes measured the latitude difference
between two cities by noticing the maximum height the Sun reached in each
city. With the small-angle formula he derived the size of the Earth.
We use the small-angle formula to derive
the size of an object once we know its angular size and its distance.
The latitude determines the angular height above
the horizon at which we see the North Celestial Pole.
If the North Pole star is on the zenith,
where are you on the Earth?
If the Sun reaches the zenith exactly on
the Summer solstice, what is your latitude?
How did Eratosthenes calculate the size of
If we know the angular size of an object
seen on the sky, what else do we need to know its real size?
Lecture 5 (September 28):
The Celestial Sphere and Celestial Coordinates. Precession.
Sections 2.4 and 2.6, Box 2.1.
Star positions are specified by two coordinates,
declination and right ascension.
Declination is the angle from the celestial
equator to the star.
Right ascension is the angle that a great circle
fixed on the poles needs to rotate to go from the Vernal equinox to the star.
The Earth axis precesses once every 26000 years,
due to the tides from the Moon and the Sun. This causes the precession of the
What coordinates do we use to specify the
position of a star?
What is the declination of a star on the
What is the declination of a star that is
halfway between the celestial equator and the South pole?
Has the star Polaris always been close to
the North pole?
Galileo's discoveries with the telescope:
mountains on the Moon, phases of Venus, sunspots, Jupiter's satellites,
Milky Way made of many stars.
Galileo also worked on the laws of motion.
He understood that in the absence of forces, objects will continue moving
with a constant velocity along a straight line. He figured out that
gravity on the Earth's surface makes all objects fall with the same
acceleration, and that the trajectory of falling objects is a parabola.
Galileo followed the scientific method and
defended the heliocentric model. But he was also still prejudiced and obstinate
on certain things: he believed planets must move on circular orbits.
What did Galileo find out about the Moon, Venus,
Jupiter, and the Sun?
Why was Galileo the first to know about all this?
How did this influence his views on the
Did Galileo relate his principle of inertia to
the motions of the planets?
Newton formulated three laws that govern all
motion. Learn the three laws!
First Newton's law: A body remains at rest, or
moves in a straight line at constant speed, unless acted upon by a net outside
Second Newton's law: The net outside force that
must act on a body that accelerates is equal to its mass times its
Third Newton's law: Whenever one body exerts a
force on a second body, the second body exerts an equal and opposite force
on the first body, which we call the reaction to the first force.
If you are at rest and not accelerating,
does this imply that no force may be applied on you?
If we could turn off the force of gravity at
some instant of time, what would all the planets do?
If a big boulder and a leaf fall down in a
room where we have made a vacuum, which one is subject to the greatest
acceleration? Which one is subject to the greatest force?
The Sun exerts a force on the Earth that
keeps it on its orbit. Which is the reaction to that force?
Week 4 (October 11-15) :
Lecture 14 (October 11):
Newton's Law of Gravity and the Motion of the Moon.
The law of universal gravitation: any two
objects, whatever their nature or composition, attract each other with a
force proportional to the product of the masses and inversely proportional
to the distance squared.
Earth's force of gravity is responsible for
the fall of objects on Earth's surface and for the orbit of the Moon.
What is the force that makes the Moon go
around the Earth?
If you stand next to a big truck, why don't
you feel the gravitational attraction towards it?
If you move out to space to a distance from
the center of the Earth equal to twice its radius, how much smaller will the
gravitational acceleration be compared to the value at the surface?
What will happen if you put two rocks in space
at rest close to each other? Will they remain at rest?
Lecture 15 (October 12):
Newton's Explanation of Planetary Motion.
Newton proved that his three laws of motion and
the law of universal gravitation imply that a body moving under the
gravitational force of another body must move over a trajectory that is a
circle, an ellipse, a parabola or a hyperbola, obeying all of Kepler's laws.
What are the possible trajectories that an
object moving under the gravity of another object can follow?
Why do we feel the gravity of the Earth but
not the gravity of the Sun?
Do comets obey Kepler's laws?
If a spacecraft is sent to Mars and it
passes by it without using its jet engines, subject only to the force
of gravity, what is the shape of its trajectory around Mars?
Lecture 16 (October 13):
How we Know the Mass of the Sun, the Earth, and the Planets.
Section 4.7, Box 4.4, review boxes 1.2 and 1.3.
Newton's generalization of the third Kepler's
law allows one to measure the mass of any object with a satellite moving
The planets also attract each other, causing
perturbations on their orbits. The perturbations from Kepler's laws were
observed to be precisely as predicted.
Binary stars were also found to orbit around
each other following Kepler's laws.
How do we know the mass of the Sun?
How do we know the mass of Jupiter?
Do planets in the Solar System obey Kepler's
laws exactly, or only approximately?
Venus has no satellites. How do we know
Lecture 17 (October 14):
More Triumphs of Newton's Laws: Tides and Neptune's Discovery.
Sections 4.8, 16.1. Box 9-1.
Newton's theory of gravity makes many successful,
quantitative predictions. Planetary perturbations were so accurately tested
that the presence of a new planet was required and its position predicted,
leading to the discovery of Neptune in 1846.
Other successful predictions: the tides due
to the Moon and the Sun, the oblateness of the Earth, the period of
precession of the equinoxes.
How were Uranus and Neptune discovered?
What causes ocean tides?
If the Earth rotated slower, how would its
Refracting telescopes work with lenses, and
reflecting ones with mirrors with a shape that focuses the light rays.
Large telescopes collect more light
and increase the image resolution. Atmospheric turbulence puts a limit to
the resolution of large optical telescopes.
The development of sensitive electronic
cameras and spectrographs has allowed taking images and spectra of much
fainter objects than it was possible with photographic plates in the past.
Telescopes in space can take images with much
better resolution, in the absence of the blurring from the atmosphere. They
can also detect radiation at wavelengths at which it is blocked by the
Radio telescopes can be used on the ground and
they are big reflecting dishes with radio receivers at the focus.
Why is the size of a telescope related to
its observing power?
Why are today's visual telescopes reflecting?
Why are they built in high mountains?
Why is it useful to have telescopes in space?
How is the light behind the telescope detected
in present observatories?
The Earth is special by the presence of liquid
water and life. Water implies oceans, clouds, ice, rain, erosion.
The Earth interior is hot from its radioactivity,
which causes convection movements in the mantle. These movements make new ocean
crust and subduct old one, while continents float and drift on the mantle.
The plate motions cause the formation of new
Why is the mean density of the Earth higher
than the density of the crust?
How do we know the size of the solid, inner
Why is the Earth's interior so hot?
What are the place where we usually have
earthquakes and volcanos on Earth?
The Earth temperature remains constant if a
balance is maintained between incoming solar light and outgoing infrared
radiation. When this balance is broken we have a radiative forcing that changes
The increase in greenhouse gases due to human
emissions results in a radiative forcing that today is at 2.4 W/m^2.
What is the Earth's albedo?
Why does temperature decrease with altitude in
the troposphere, and increase with altitude in the stratosphere?
What is radiative forcing?
If greenhouse gases are increased and the solar
flux stays constant, how will the infrared luminosity of the Earth change?
How will the Earth surface temperature change?
Lecture 28 (November 2):
The Earth Carbon Cycle and the Ice Ages.
Check out the
Byrd Polar Research Center ,
an institution at The Ohio State University dedicated to glaciology research
where many studies of present and past climate using glaciers are being done.
The greenhouse effect in the Earth has increased
due to anthropogenic emissions of carbon dioxide, methane and other gases.
Most carbon dioxide is in the ocean, and its
atmospheric concentration was in equilibrium with the ocean until human
emissions started. The ocean has absorbed carbon dioxide from the atmosphere
since then, but too slowly to prevent it from increasing.
The ice ages are thought to be related to
variations of the Earth orbit that alter the average solar energy received
by Earth, but the temperature variation must be highly magnified by feedback
effects (among them, lower greenhouse gases in ice ages) that are poorly
Key Questions :
How long ago did the last ice age end? How
long before that was the last interglacial period?
What does the Milankovich theory say?
Where is most of the carbon dioxide on Earth?
Why was carbon dioxide lower during the ice
age than at present?
We are now emitting 6 Gigatons of carbon every
year. Why is the atmospheric carbon increasing by only 3 Gigatons every year?
Lecture 29 (November 3):
Global Warming and Future Climate Change.
Homework 3 handed out.
The mean temperature of the Earth has increased
by 1 F over the last 100 yars. The increase in temperature is consistent with
the modeled response to the radiative forcing of greenhouse gases, plus
smaller effects of solar variation, volcanoes, ozone losses, and aerosols.
The same climate models predict a much larger
temperature increase of 3 to 11 F in the 21st century, which can be partly
mitigated if we reduce greenhouse emissions.
How much carbon dioxide does each human being
release to the atmosphere, on average?
Why does sea level rise when temperature
Why do aerosols affect global warming?
What are the consequences of greenhouse gases
that we can be certain of? What consequences are more uncertain?
Mars' surface is heavily cratered in the
South and resurfaced in the North, has large volcanoes, a huge canyon,
two polar ice caps of carbon dioxide and water ice that vary seasonally,
and a lot of features indicating past water flows.
The Martian atmosphere is very thin and made
mostly of carbon dioxide. Liquid water probably existed in the past and
is in the form of permafrost today. Most of the carbon dioxide was trapped in
carbonate rocks by weathering through rain, which was not returned to the
atmosphere after volcanic activity ceased. Mars has also lost some atmospheric
gases to space.
Why did Mars come closer to Earth in the
2003 opposition than at most other times?
Why does Mars have volcanoes much higher than
any found on Earth?
Jupiter's atmosphere shows bands and zones
resulting from convecitve motions, which generate storms like the Great
Red Spot and other ovals. Clouds of ammonia, ammonium hydrosulfide, and
water vapor appear at three levels of different temperature.
Jupiter emits twice as much radiation as it
receives from the Sun, because of its internal heat, which also drives
The interior of Jupiter is liquid metallic
hydrogen. It probably has a small rocky core in the center.
Why is Jupiter a much less spherical planet
What is the most abundant element in Jupiter?
Is the energy of infrared radiation emitted
by Jupiter the same as the energy of sunlight that it receives?
What do the colors of Jupiter's clouds
correspond to? What causes these colors?
Lecture 35 (November 12):
The Galilean Satellites of Jupiter.
The four Galilean satellites were formed as
a miniature Solar System, with rocks close to Jupiter and ice farther away.
Their rotations are tidally locked up to Jupiter,
and the orbital periods of the first three are trapped in resonances.
The slight orbital eccentricities induced by
satellite perturbations cause huge tide variations from Jupiter.
Io has constant volcanic eruptions and sulfur
geysers. Europa has a cracked icy surface and an underlying liquid ocean.
Ganymede and Callisto have cratered surfaces, grooved terrain, and more
What is peculiar about the orbital periods of
the Galilean satellites?
Why does Io have so much volcanic activity?
What is similar in the way the mean densities of
planets in the Solar System and the Galilean satellites vary with the size
of their orbits?
Pluto was discovered in 1930 by Tombaugh. It is
the smallest planet with a diameter of 2300 km, and a highly inclined and
eccentric orbit. The only details from its surface are very blurry, from
Hubble Space Telescope images.
Pluto has the moon Charon, very large in relation
to its planet (1200 km diameter), and is tidally locked up to Pluto.
Pluto and Charon form part of the Kuiper Belt,
a large number of icy, small objects orbiting beyond Neptune.
Are there craters in Pluto?
How has Pluto been affected by Neptune?
What does the average density of Pluto of
2 grams per cubic centimetre suggest?
What class of objects does Pluto belong to?
Lecture 39 (November 18):
Asteroids, Meteorites, and Meteors.
Homework 5 due.
Sections 17-1 to 17-6.
Check out the
Near-Shoemaker website, on the spaceship that orbited asteroid EROS and
landed on it in 2001.
Asteroids were discovered starting in 1801,
today there are more than 10000 known, most of them orbit between Mars and
Jupiter's gravitational tugs cause gaps in the
distribution of asteriod periods, called Kirkwood gaps.
Several spacecraft have taken images of
asteroids. They are irregularly shaped, some of them are made of various
pieces and may have moons.
Asteroid sometimes collide with Earth, one
collision 65 million years ago caused a major extinction and left a layer of
iridium all over the planet. Asteroids are also the origin of meteorites.
How were asteroids discovered?
What is different in the composition of
asteroids and Kuiper Belt objects?
Comets are small objects made of ice and dirt.
They are in very eccentric orbits. When they reach perihelion and are
close to the Sun, the ices sublimate and generate bright and extended tails.
Comets come from the outskirts of the Solar
System, in the Oort cloud or the Kuiper Belt. They have spent billions of
years in that region, and they become visible when some gravitational
perturbation reduces their perihelion, making them pass close to the Sun. As
their ices evaporate, they generally do not last for many orbital periods
before they break into pieces.
What is a comet nucleus made of?
Why is a comet nucleus so dark?
How are comets and meteor showers related?
In which direction does the ion tail of a comet
127 exoplanets have been discovered. For most of
them, we have only measured the velocity of their parent star through the
Doppler effect, and the way the velocity changes owing to the
gravitational tug of the planet moving around it. For a few cases, we have
observed a slight dimming of the star caused by the transit of the planet
over the star. Some of these are in systems of two or three planets.
Most of the detected planets are very massive
(similar to Jupiter), because our measurements are not accurate enough to
detect less massive planets. As technology for very precise Doppler
measurements of velocity has progressed, we have recently been able to
find planets of the mass of Neptune, but only when they are very close to
Most planetary systems seem very different from
the Solar System: some giant planets are very close to their star, most others
are in highly eccentric orbits. But a few are in orbits similar to Jupiter in
the Solar System.
In the future, we expect to find Earth-like
planets using more sensitive methods. How many there will be, and how many
will have orbits adequate to sustain life, is a big unknown.
How many planets outside the Solar System have
been discovered so far?
What methods have been used to discover these
How are these planets different from the ones
in the Solar System?
Why are all known exoplanets about as massive
as Jupiter, and none are like the Earth?

I’m having an off couple of weeks. There is no real reason for this I’m just down and anxious and not feeling 100%. Then yesterday’s news of Roe v Wade being overturned threw me over the edge. I am feeling really sad and really angry today.
I had grand plans for some blog posts but can’t pull myself together to write them so instead, I’m sharing this beautiful vegan white chocolate tart because I think we could all use something beautiful and delicious to enjoy today.
My amazing assistant Nicolette (who should be a chef tbh) created this tart last week and I couldn’t stop eating it. It’s creamy but not heavy, flavorful but simple, and obviously gorgeous to look at.
I will 100% be making this for dinner parties this summer, topped with whatever fruit is in season. I also want to try it with some lime juice and lime zest for a key lime pie vibe next time.
Vegan White Chocolate Tart Recipe
Note that this has to be set in the fridge overnight so plan ahead accordingly.
– Pre-made graham cracker pie crust (or make your own if you’re really feeling up for it!)
– 1/2 can, full-fat coconut milk, use the thicker part, not the watery part
-1 1/2 cups, non-dairy white chocolate chips (You can find these at Whole Foods or on Amazon but if you don’t care about being DF, regular white chocolate chips are fine)
– 1 tbsp, maple syrup
– 1 tsp, vanilla extract
– 1/2 tsp, coconut oil
– Whatever fruit you like (we used halved strawberries). I picture this with beautiful peaches and/or apricots in the summer
– Edible flowers (or non-edible and just pick them off. We used chamomile flowers because we had them on hand)
– Fresh mint leaves
– 1 tbs hemp seeds for texture
– Get creative!
1. Combine the coconut milk and white chocolate chips in a saucepan over low heat.
2. Stir constantly until the chocolate melts, then remove from heat.
3. Add maple syrup, vanilla, and coconut oil. Stir to combine.
4. Cool the filling for 10-15 minutes, then pour it over the crust. It will look really liquidy but have no fear, it will set overnight!
5. Refrigerate overnight.
6. Right before serving, garnish with whatever toppings you like.

(MENAFN- Saudi Press Agency) Riyadh, February 13, 2023, SPA -- Minister of Industry and Mineral Resources and Chairman of the Saudi Export-Import (EXIM) Bank Bandar Ibrahim Al-Khorayef inaugurated today the headquarters of the bank in Riyadh.
Al-Khorayef toured the headquarters and met with the bank's employees; he was briefed on the bank's achievements in 2022, and the efforts exerted to empower and enhance the competitiveness of Saudi non-oil exports.
The bank has been lending support to develop the export of Saudi products, and diversify and develop the local economy through providing credit facilities and accreditations amounting to more than SAR 15.5 billion in 2022. Applications for export credit insurance stood at about SAR 9 billion, and requests for export financing were worth SAR 6.4 billion; the latter provided support to export activities in various vital sectors, such as fertilizers, petrochemicals, glass, plastic, iron and steel, and other critical sectors targeted by the bank to support exports to more than 60 countries around the world.
In 2022, the Saudi EXIM Bank also sought to expand its international partnerships with international financial and credit institutions that allow pumping more credit lines, which would help achieve maximum benefits and help open new opportunities for Saudi exports to world markets.

In a study of 77 patients with early AKI, a group led by Lakhmir Chawla, MD (George Washington University and Veteran Affairs Medical Center, Washington DC) and Jay Koyner, MD (College of Chicago) discovered that a easy take a look at performed with a one-time dose of the FDA-approved remedy furosemide, together with a measurement of urine output, might successfully make this early diagnostic dedication. Preparations of TGV made exterior the United States (for example, in China) can sometimes be obtained, however it isn’t doable to verify whether or not they’re protected and effective. Chiropractic: A whole medical system primarily based on the idea that the physique has a powerful self-healing capability, and its construction (primarily the spine), perform, and health are closely related. Because RA is a illness of the immune system, a connection between diet and the disease has been proposed. If you’re the type who has a weight drawback because of a very good appetite, you may consider shopping for an appetite suppressant weight-reduction plan pill; an instance of that is Hoodia Gordoni. It will be significant for folks who have RA to eat a healthy, balanced weight-reduction plan.
Some research, nevertheless, have in contrast it to placebos and found it simpler. Examples of thoughts-physique methods include meditation, tai chi, relaxation strategies, and spirituality for health purposes. The aim of taking Clomid infertility treatment is to determine regular egg production where one or two eggs are only developed. Components of the TGV plant are dangerous. This method is called “like cures like.” The treatments are diluted very extremely, often to a degree the place not one molecule of the unique substance remains. The foods one eats and how the digestive system handles them are known to have an effect on the immune system. Primarily based on some early findings which will point out promise, NCCAM is supporting studies on the University of Arizona on these three botanicals, to increase scientific information about them and determine whether or not they are helpful for chronic inflammatory circumstances equivalent to arthritis and asthma. There isn’t sufficient dependable proof to declare whether or not valerian is efficient for muscle and joint ache, together with pain from RA.
GLA is an omega-6 fatty acid that’s discovered within the oils of some plant seeds, together with night primrose (Oenothera biennis L.), borage (Borago officinalis L.), and black currant (Ribes nigrum L.). Evening primrose oil may trigger issues for people taking a category of psychiatric medicine referred to as phenothiazines, such as chlorpromazine or prochlorperazine. Borage oil and evening primrose oil might improve the chance of bleeding and bruising, especially in people taking blood-thinning drugs, equivalent to aspirin, clopidogrel, NSAIDs, or warfarin. One other level to note about safety is that a product known as fish liver oil can contain extra vitamin A than the recommended every day dosage, which might trigger problems. Castor oil makes a wonderful lubricant for scissors. These three botanicals have a historical past of use in Ayurveda to deal with inflammatory conditions. This knowledge is being strengthened as NCCAM helps rigorous research on botanicals and different supplements that have proven promise in early research to find out extra about their molecular construction, their security, how they may work, and for what diseases or situations.

Creating the currency union was not a random act of collective economic suicide, but was in some senses a rational or even noble project that was either premature or too late. The tragedy was that a succession of post-war leaders, whose intentions would be seen by many as honourable, made a series of disastrously ill-timed decisions.
Here is a great paradox: the big decision to press the button on creating the euro was a French attempt to shackle the economic and political power of a unifying Germany, but it has had the perverse consequence of reinforcing German power within the eurozone and the European Union.
A film on this subject which I've made with the producer John Thynne tries to shed light on the gravity of the mess they (and we) are in now - and what may be required for the eurozone to survive in the longer term.
If you had any doubts that we were minutes away from financial and economic catastrophe before Christmas, the European Central Bank does not.
"In the autumn of 2011, the conditions were very dangerous," one of its executive directors, Benoit Coeure, told me. "European banks were facing severe difficulties to fund themselves, to access finance, and we were very close to having a collapse in the banking system in the euro area, which would have also led to a collapse in the economy and to deflation. And this is something that the ECB could not accept."
So the ECB put 800 European banks on life support, by providing more than a trillion euros of emergency three-year loans to them. As Mr Coeure concedes, this so-called LTRO is a temporary prop, not a solution to the euro's ills.
"It is a pain-killer, a very powerful one... This period of calm has to be used by governments to fix the underlying issues, the fiscal (deficit) issues and the competitiveness issues that European countries are facing."
Since I saw Mr Coeure a few weeks ago, the calm has evaporated. There are escalating fears that Greece will leave the euro - and that the ensuing turmoil will force a more serious fracture of the currency union.
The big indebted economies, Spain and Italy, look considerably weaker, their economies shrinking, and unemployment rising. The borrowing costs of their governments are soaring once more, a sign that investors are growing concerned again about the health of their public finances and of their banks.
What is required is a tremendous collective effort by the eurozone's members. In practice, this is widely seen to need a greater willingness by Germany to deploy more of its fearsome financial resources to help the weaker economies, such as Spain and Italy, in their period of painful transition.
But a sharing of the debt burden requires near revolution in the way the EU is governed, according to a trio of the grand old men of Europe.
"The crisis makes at least one thing obvious and that is we need more of Europe, we need the political union as the only way to save the stability of the euro," the former German chancellor, Gerhard Schroeder, said.
Given that his party, the SPD, could well be in power again next year, we may well see progress towards this political union.
One of the great figures of global central banking, Jean-Claude Trichet - president of the European Central Bank during many of the euro's formative years - made a similar point. "In a single market with a single currency… it seems to me that Europe could go for a federation."
Without such a federation, can the single currency survive, I asked Helmut Schlesinger, another influential central banker who has seen the odd financial crisis at close quarters and was president of the Bundesbank when sterling was forced out of the European Exchange Rate Mechanism in 1992.
"I cannot make any long-term predictions in this regard," he said. "One should consider that monetary unions, or more precisely, coin unions, have survived for a long time, but never for more than three or four decades.
"My personal experience with the German currency is that it has undergone changes at three occasions during my lifetime. When I was born, it was changed into the reichsmark. When I began to work, it became the deutsche mark. And when I became a pensioner, it became the euro.
"The average lifetime of a currency is, as you can see, limited, as a rule, except when it is a great state with an endlessly long, beautiful history, from the kings of the Middle Ages until the Queen nowadays. Then you have got a long monetary history."
But in Europe, that is not the case. "And I would say that either we get the United States of Europe, that is an actual political union, and then that political union gets its own currency. But then it is no monetary union any longer, but the currency of that new state.
"Or let's stay with the current situation which we find ourselves in at the moment, and then it could be that this monetary union will not necessarily dissolve, but change, extend, scale down. I do not know. My horizon, my prognosis is very limited in time."
So what is going to happen: creation of the European superstate and survival of the euro, or a disastrous monetary and political disintegration? I hope Thursday's programme will give you the information you need to form a judgement on will determine not just the eurozone's future prosperity but Britain's too.

Srinagar: The Jammu and Kashmir High Court Bar Association (HCBA) on Tuesday sent a 3-member team to New Delhi to file an intervention application in the Supreme Court, ahead of the hearing on Article 35A listed for August 6.
Sources told Kashmir Reader that after convening a general body meeting, the HCBA formed a three-member team of senior members of the Bar to file the intervention application.
“The meeting deliberated upon the issue and decided that as a vibrant institution it has a responsibility to intervene for and on behalf of the people of Jammu and Kashmir,” the sources said.
The team consists of former Secretary General of the HCBA and current executive member Muhammad Ashraf Bhat, the current Secretary General GM Shaheen, and Joint Secretary Adil Asimi.
Sources said that the Bar has taken the case very seriously and has decided to defend Article 35A at all costs.
They said that by virtue of the “intervention application”, the Bar will be able to defend the case as a party to it.

Carbon monoxide (CO) has attracted attention as a possible therapeutic agent for affecting anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities. Previously, CO-bound hemoglobin vesicle (CO-HbV) was developed as a nanotechnology-based CO donor, and its safety profile and therapeutic potential as a clinically applicable carrier of CO were examined in vitro and in vivo. In the present study, the therapeutic efficacy of CO-HbV against severe acute pancreatitis was examined with secondary distal organ-injured model mice that were fed with a choline-deficient ethionine-supplemented diet. A CO-HbV treatment significantly reduced the mortality of the acute pancreatitis model mice compared to saline and HbV. Biochemical and histological evaluations clearly showed that CO-HbV suppressed acute pancreatitis by inhibiting the production of systemic proinflammatory cytokines, neutrophil infiltration, and oxidative injuries in pancreatic tissue. Interestingly, CO-HbV also diminished the subsequent damage to distal organs including liver, kidneys, and lungs. This could be due to the suppression of neutrophil infiltration into tissues and the subsequently enhanced oxidative injuries. In contrast, O2-bound HbV, the inactive form of CO-HbV, was ineffective against both pancreatitis and distal organ injuries, confirming that CO was directly responsible for the protective effects of CO-HbV in acute pancreatitis. These findings suggest that CO-HbV has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant characteristics of CO and consequently exerts a superior protective effect against acute pancreatitis-induced multiorgan damage.

G-Dragon in a Dress for “Harper’s Bazaar”
Big Bang’s G-Dragon wore a dress for “Harper’s Bazaar.” In the past, G-Dragon has been known for wearing female clothes and it looks like he is doing it once more! He is doing it with a skateboard! (G-Dragon’s love for skateboarding has recently come to attention)
The photoshoot with G-Dragon will be in the August edition of “Harper’s Bazaar.” This edition of “Harper’s Bazaar” is a 16 year anniversary special.
Back at the end of June, G-Dragon appeared in front of a 2013 Spring / Summer fashion show. Many were curious as to why G-Dragon was in Paris but it was for the “Harper’s Bazaar” photoshoot!
G-Dragon was chosen as the first Korean celebrity muse for Maison Baccarat. The August edition of “Harper’s Bazaar” will be released on July 20.

Well defnitely you will have to do Granada for at leats 2 nights. I recommend the following:
Day 1: Managua Airport to Granada - City tour Granada and the Isletas tour.
Day 2: Masaya Volcano, Masaya`s market, Catarina and San Juan de Oriente.
Day 3: Ometepe 1 day tour, after tour spend the night in San Juan del Sur.
Day 4: Free in San Juan del Sur
Day 5: San Juan del Sur - Managua.
I will recommend an early flight to Managua in order to do the Granada activities. Please do not hesiate to contact me for anuything that you may need at firstname.lastname@example.org
I was in Nicaragua about a month ago for a few weeks and Isla de Ometepe was one of my favorite places. I spent about a week there and about a week in Granada. I couldn't personally imagine trying to fit in all three of those destinations in 5 days, but it depends on what your traveling style is like. I would say you need more than a day trip to Ometepe, but it depends what you are looking for. I didn't go to SJDS, but I've heard it has great beaches and is mainly a surfer town. Ometepe is beautiful and has a lot of great hiking. There are two volcanoes to climb (each take about a full day), otherwise I recommend going to the San Ramon waterfall which can be done in a half day. Then jumping in Lake Nicaragua after your hike is a great way to end the evening.
I second the recommendation of checking out the Masaya Volcano from Granada. Do a tour of the lava tubes, and you get to wear gas masks! On a side note, if you find yourself in Granada during the weekend and you enjoy going out dancing, I recommend going to Cafe Nuit!

Stage Entertainment Germany will bring the Broadway hit MJ the Musical to Germany in fall 2024. The production will play the Stage Theater an der Elbe in Hamburg.
All songs will remain in English, while dialogue will be translated into German. Casting, performance dates, and other information will be announced at a later time.
"A world-class artist is honored in a world-class musical: We definitely wanted to show this in Germany!” says Uschi Ness, managing director of Stage Entertainment Germany. “I am proud that we have succeeded in bringing MJ to Hamburg, and I would like thank producers Lia Vollack, John Branca, and John McClain for the trust they have placed in us."
MJ, which began Broadway previews at the Neil Simon December 6, 2021, prior to an official opening February 1, 2022, features a book by two-time Pulitzer Prize winner Lynn Nottage and a score made up of some of the most popular songs in recording history. Tony Award winner Christopher Wheeldon directs and choreographs.
Detroit native Elijah Rhea Johnson stepped into the leading role of Michael Jackson in MJ the Musical April 4, marking his Broadway debut. Johnson, who helped develop the role of Middle Michael throughout the workshop process of MJ, succeeded Myles Frost, who played his final performance April 2. (Frost made history last year, becoming the youngest individual actor to win a Tony Award for Best Leading Actor in a Musical.)
The musical also has sets by Derek McLane, lighting by Natasha Katz, costumes by Paul Tazewell, sound design by Gareth Owen, projection design by Peter Nigrini, hair and wig design by Charles LaPointe, music direction by Jason Michael Webb, musical supervision by David Holcenberg, and orchestrations by Holcenberg and Webb. Casting is by Rachel Hoffman of The Telsey Office.
The show took home four 2022 Tony Awards in total, including Best Choreography, Best Lighting Design in a Musical, and Best Sound Design in a Musical.
The North American tour, which opened in Chicago in August, is currently playing in Charlotte, North Carolina, and the West End premiere is set for March 2024 at London’s Prince Edward Theatre.
