Andromeda Facts
The Andromeda Galaxy, also known as Messier 31 or M31, is a spiral galaxy located about 2.5 million light-years (2.4×1019 km) from Earth. Located in the Andromeda constellation, it is the closest spiral galaxy to the Milky Way, where our solar system is, although it isn't the closest overall galaxy to the Milky Way.
It is also the largest galaxy of what is called the Local Group - a collection of more than 54 galaxies including the Milky Way, the Triangulum galaxy and many smaller dwarf galaxies.
Facts about the Andromeda Galaxy
The Andromeda Galaxy gets its name from the area in which it appears, the constellation of Andromeda – which is named for the after the mythological Greek princess Andromeda.
Andromeda is probably the most massive galaxy in the Local Group. This is contrary to previous research which speculated that the Milky Way was the most massive because it contained more dark matter.
A 2006 study put the Milky Way at around 80% the mass of the Andromeda Galaxy.
There are around 1 trillion stars in the galaxy, compared with the Milky Way which has around 200-400 billion.
In approximately 3.75 billion years, the Andromeda and Milky Way galaxies will collide, merging to form a giant elliptical galaxy.
A team of astronomers in 2010 believe that M31 was formed between 5 and 9 billion years ago when two smaller galaxies collided and merged.
The Andromeda Galaxy has an apparent magnitude of 3.4, which makes it bright enough to be seen by the naked eye on moonless nights.
The Andromeda Galaxy is approaching the Milky Way at rate of around 110 kilometres per second (68 mi/s).
The microlensing event PA-99-N2 hints at the existence of an extragalactic planet. It is estimated to be 6.34 times as massive as Jupiter. If proven, it would be the first exoplanet to be known that is outside the Milky Way.
A Quick Look at the Numbers
Designation/s
Messier 31 (M31)
Apparent Magnitude
220,000 light years across
1,230 billion M☉
~ 1 trillion
2.5 million light-years
The Andromeda Galaxy is a close neighbor of the Milky Way. Are you wondering why it was given such a name? That's because, as observed here on Earth, we can see this galaxy in Andromeda Constellation.
This galaxy is also called Messier 31 or NGC 224. We can easily see it with the naked eye since it has an apparent magnitude of 3.44. In fact, it is one of the few distant objects that we can see without using any optical aid.
The Andromeda galaxy is the largest in the Local Group, where the Milky Way also belongs. Not only is this galaxy large, but it is also very massive. Its diameter is around 220,000 light-years and its mass equals the mass of 1,230 billion Suns!
There are about one trillion stars in the Andromeda Galaxy. That's way more than the 200 to 400 billion stars estimated in the Milky Way. This spiral galaxy lies 2.5 million light-years away from Earth.
Andromeda Galaxy Throughout Time
Since it is easily visible to the naked eye on dark nights, the Andromeda Galaxy has been observed many times in the past. The earliest known record of this galaxy was that of Abd al-Rahman al-Sufi. He was a Persian astronomer around the 10th century. Simon Marius, a German astronomer, also gave it a description in the early 1600s.
Before Andromeda became known as the spiral galaxy that we know it today, it was actually thought of as a nebula at first. This so-called nebula was thought to have been part of the Milky Way. At the time, it was believed that our own galaxy is the largest and that it contained everything in it.
The first supernova observed outside the Milky Way was S Andromedae. Also, it remains the only supernova event that was ever observed in the Andromeda Galaxy. It is also called Supernova 1885 after the year it was seen.
At the time, the distance of the Andromeda Galaxy was not yet fully known. It was thought to be just another nearby object in the Milky Way that they called "Nova 1885."
Charles Messier gave the designation M31 to Andromeda in 1764. And even by then, astronomers had given it some interesting descriptions. Abd al-Rahman al-Sufi called it a "nebulous smear" and for some, it was the "little cloud." French philosopher Pierre Louis Maupertuis considered it an "island universe." William Herschel, on the other hand, noted that it is the closest "great nebula" to us.
One of the earliest photographs of Andromeda was taken by Isaac Roberts in 1888. Though, at this time, it was still considered a "spiral nebula," a field for the formation of new stars.
Andromeda Galaxy Up Close
For a long time, this galaxy was called the Great Andromeda Nebula. Because of this, the Great Debate was held to tackle the real nature of such an object and the universe as a whole. In 1920, astronomers Harlow Shapley and Heber Curtis laid their facts to support their theories. This memorable event took place at the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History.
Harlow Shapley believed that "spiral nebulae" are just within the limits of the Milky Way. And because they are just within our home galaxy, they are relatively small when compared to the Milky Way.
Heber Curtis, on the other hand, believed that these "nebulae" are very large and that they are very far from us. He called them "island universes" because they are independent and separate from the Milky Way. He compared different novae from the galaxy and observed that they are much fainter than the ones seen in other areas of the sky. This might mean that they are from somewhere farther than the Milky Way.
The Shapley–Curtis Debate opened up different ideas and possibilities of the nature of the universe. Years later, astronomer Edwin Hubble proved Curtis's claim that Andromeda is, in fact, a separate galaxy.
Hubble was able to do so through Cepheid variable stars. These pulsating stars can be used to measure the distance of objects. Through this, Hubble calculated the distance of the Andromeda Galaxy which is 2.5 million light-years. Also, he was able to prove that the Milky Way is just one of the billions of galaxies out there.
The most probable explanation of the origin of the Andromeda Galaxy involved a merger of protogalaxies. These primeval galaxies were smaller than Andromeda now. They probably collided and merged around 10 billion years ago.
During the time of formation, Andromeda most likely experienced a very high rate of star formation. This activity of stellar formation declined about 2 billion years ago to nearly a level of inactivity.
As observed from the Hubble Space Telescope, the core of the Andromeda Galaxy has a double nucleus. These concentrations are designated P1 and P2. P2, or the dimmer concentration, is situated at the center. It contains the central black hole in the galaxy. These two nuclei are 4.9 light-years away from each other.
In 2013, NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory discovered 26 black hole candidates in this galaxy. This discovery was made by a group of researchers headed by Robin Barnard of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics. They studied 13 years' worth of data from Chandra, as well as a wide-field view of the galaxy, to understand Andromeda's core better.
The Andromeda Galaxy is seen nearly edge-on here on Earth, at around 77°. Images from different telescopes show that it has a normal spiral structure. Also, the distortion of its spiral arms is probably because of its interactions with its satellite galaxies Messier 32 and Messier 110.
The ring structures observed in the inner structure of Andromeda may have formed from interactions with Messier 32. This great galaxy shows some similarities to the Milky Way. The Two Micron All-Sky Survey (2MASS) and the Spitzer Space Telescope both reveal that the Andromeda Galaxy has a barred spiral structure.
Observations show that stars on both galaxies' halos are metal-poor. These are just some of their common characteristics which indicates that their evolutionary paths are probably similar as well.
Notable Objects in Andromeda Galaxy
The Andromeda Galaxy has a massive star cluster in the center. All in all, more than 400 globular clusters were discovered to be related to it. It has a lot of satellite galaxies too.
In 1999, astronomers detected an event called PA-99-N2 in this galaxy. This microlensing event most likely involved a star that hosts a planet. If proven to be true, this will be the first-ever extragalactic planet to be known. The predicted mass of this exoplanet is around 6.34 times the mass of Jupiter.
Mayall II
Mayall II is a very massive and luminous globular cluster. It lies in the galactic core of the Andromeda Galaxy. There are millions of stars in this globular cluster. Also, it is much brighter and more massive than Omega Centauri (Milky Way's largest globular cluster). It lies 130,000 light-years away from us.
Satellite Galaxies
Satellite galaxies are smaller galaxies that orbit the bigger or primary galaxy. Our Milky Way has lots of these satellites. The Andromeda Galaxy has many of them too. The third-largest member of the Local Group, the Triangulum Galaxy (M33), is believed to be one of Andromeda's many companion galaxies. This, however, is not yet fully proven.
Below are some of the most notable satellite galaxies of the Andromeda Galaxy.
Messier 32 (M32) is also called NGC 221. The French astronomer Guillaume Le Gentil discovered this satellite galaxy in 1749. No star formation has been observed recently in it. Most of the stars that populate this dwarf galaxy have red and yellow hues. Also, most of them are concentrated around the inner core.
One theory about the origin of M32 believed that it may be from M32p—a hypothetical spiral galaxy that merged with M31. Though this is not yet fully proven, simulations show that M32 has had interactions with the bigger Andromeda Galaxy in the past. This event is the reason for the warped shape of Andromeda's spiral arms.
There is a supermassive black hole in Messier 32 that is about 1.5 times the mass of the Sun. This galaxy lies about 2.65 million light-years from us.
Messier 110
Messier 110 is designated NGC 205 in the New General Catalog. It is classified as a peculiar dwarf elliptical galaxy. The reason for its peculiarity is the unusual presence of young and blue-hued stars around the center. No black hole is detected in this satellite galaxy.
Messier 110 is the last object that was given a designation in the Messier objects list.
NGC 185 is yet another one of the satellite galaxies of the great Andromeda Galaxy. We can see it in the region of the Cassiopeia constellation in the sky. It was discovered in 1787 by William Herschel. Another designation for it is Caldwell 18.
With an apparent magnitude of 10.1, we can easily see it using small telescopes. The NGC 185 satellite galaxy is a close neighbor to NGC 147 and is 2.08 million light-years distant from us.
NGC 147 is a dwarf spheroidal galaxy in the Cassiopeia constellation. John Herschel discovered it in 1829. Most stars in this galaxy are already old stars, and not much star formation has been observed.
As a physical pair to NGC 185, NGC 147 is a bit larger yet fainter than the other. It lies 2.58 million light-years from us.
Andromeda I
Andromeda I is a close satellite galaxy of M31. It was discovered in 1970 by Canadian astronomer Sidney van den Bergh. Most of the stars that populate this galaxy have red hues. At about 150,000 light-years from M31, this dwarf spheroidal galaxy (dSph) is the closest of its kind to the host galaxy. Meanwhile, it is 2.40 million light-years away from the solar system.
Pegasus Dwarf Spheroidal
The Pegasus Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxy is found in the constellation of the Winged Horse. We can also call it Andromeda VI. This M31 satellite galaxy has an apparent magnitude of 14.2 so we cannot see it with the naked eye. The stars in this dwarf galaxy are mostly metal-poor.
Collision With Our Own Milky Way
We have seen galaxies collide like NGC 2623 and the Mice Galaxies. However, the Milky Way, where our Solar System belongs, is also set to collide with the Andromeda Galaxy. This is because Andromeda is approaching our way at a rate of 110 kilometers per second (68 mi/sec).
Though it may seem like a scary event, this collision will happen far beyond our lifetime, 4.5 billion years from now. Studies also indicate that because galaxies are mostly empty space, it is unlikely for stars to collide with each other. That said, the Solar System will not be adversely affected.
Even if, say, the Solar System is safe from the collision, life on Earth would have long ended. That is because the Sun would have become so hot at that time. Our planet would dry out and terrestrial life will be no more. Still, all those events are way too far in the future.
How To Spot Andromeda Galaxy in the Night Sky
Now that we know everything about the Andromeda Gallaxy, it is important to know when and where to find it in the night sky.
The first thing we need to do is find the constellation of Andromeda the Chained Woman. It is mostly seen in the northern hemisphere during the autumn months. By that time, it is spring in the southern hemisphere.
We can easily see the Andromeda constellation because it is surrounded by other famous constellations of Perseus, Cassiopeia, Lacerta, Pegasus, Pisces, and Triangulum. One of the easiest patterns to see in the night sky is the W shape of Cassiopeia. The vertices of this W will point you to Andromeda.
In the constellation of Andromeda, the galaxy M31 can be seen along the pattern of the maiden's "knee." It is close to the star Nu Andromedae. It is also along the line of Mirach (Beta Andromedae), the second-brightest star in the constellation.
Andromeda in Mythology
Andromeda has inspired a constellation to be named after her, as well as a galaxy. But who is she in Greek mythology?
Andromeda was a beautiful Ethiopian princess. Her parents were King Cepheus and Queen Cassiopeia. One day, the queen proclaimed that she is more beautiful than the Nereids (sea nymphs).
The sea nymphs hear what the vain queen said, and they were offended by it. Even Poseidon, the sea god, was mad too!
The angry god sent the monster Cetus to the kingdom of Ethiopia. King Cepheus became very worried so he consulted the Oracle of Ammon. The oracle's vision revealed that the only way to appease the angry god and save the kingdom is to offer his daughter to the sea monster.
King Cepheus followed the advice and let his daughter be chained to a rock, awaiting her death in the hands of the savage sea monster. Luck smiled at princess Andromeda because the hero Perseus unchained her killed Cetus the sea monster. Perseus later married Andromeda and they had children together.
In honor of Andromeda, the goddess Athena placed her in the night sky for everyone to see. Even after death, she remains close in the sky with her loved ones who also became the constellations of Perseus, Cassiopeia, and Cepheus.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is definitely not "turtle-y" awesome. Whilst not directed by Michael Bay, his hand in the production team is clearly noticeable right from the first diagonal shot plagued with lens flares and...oh, would you look at that! Explosions! Now, I'm not the biggest fan of the source material, so was hoping for fresh adaptation with some genuine wit and memorability. Alas, it's just another loud disposable blockbuster that is infected with poor editing and minimal characterisation. New York is under threat by a clan that will soon destroy the city and its inhabitants. But four mutant turtles team up with a news reporter to stop the antagonising Shredder. Michelangelo, bam! Raphael, woosh! Donatello, kapow! And Leonardo, DiCaprio! Four hideously designed "ninja mutant turtle teenagers" that surprisingly have minimal character development and come across as annoying irritants (even more so than Megan Fox!). Speaking of, it's another case of good looks overwhelming acting ability because April O'Neil was absolutely useless at her job, constantly screamed at everything and was more of a lead character in comparison to the eponymous turtles. Splinter shows up for a wonderful ten minute scene of exposition, and then bites the dust whilst generating no emotional investment. Villain also makes the classic move of unveiling his plans to the heroes so that they can stop him. Eyes certainly rolled at that point. Some of the action scenes, such as the downhill mountain chase, were well edited and exciting. However the close combat sequences in the sewers were murky, poorly edited and nearly impossible to watch. The dialogue tried too hard at being funny, and ultimately failed. Although some of the conversations between the turtles did feel natural and gave them a sense a unity and family. Oh, and Whoopi Goldberg has a few lines! Why? No idea. Look, it's not a terrible film, but it's obvious that the target demographic is for younger audiences (despite its certification). Obnoxiously loud with only one or two scenes of pure entertainment.

Q: Do context diagrams have cardinalities? Can someone explain if the context diagrams(as used in requirements engineering) have cardinalities(as defined in UML diagrams)?
What I want to ask is, are cardinalities part of a context diagram's syntax?

A: Most of the system analysis methods have in common the idea that a system has boundaries with the environment that surrounds it and with which it interacts.
The term "context diagram" is used to represent this initial high level view, before decomposing the system and the flows into its (more detailed) parts.  Modeling methods such as IDEF0 (formerly SADT), or DFD (e.g. Yourdon's or Gane's & Sarson'ts) and others used to have such level 0 charts.
As these context diagrams are the start of the analysis, cardinality is generally not yet known, and generally not usefull at this level.  And anyway, functional analysis diagramology such as IDEF0 don't even know cardinality.
In UML there's no formal context diagram defined. There are several type of diagrams which could represent the system in its context, but the most suitable and which also shows the full context is the top level use case diagram, which shows the system under consideration and the actors/systems in the environments with which the system interacts.  On such a high level diagram there would be no cardinality.
I would therefore suggest NO as answer to this question.

Solicitation of a Prostitute in Michigan Criminal Defense Lawyer
Garmo & Kiste, PLC | Criminal Defense & Family Law Attorneys | Troy, MI > Articles > Criminal Defense > Solicitation of a Prostitute in Michigan Criminal Defense Lawyer
Although it is often referred to as a victim-less crime, both solicitation and prostitution remain illegal in Michigan and the vast majority of the United States. Though often used interchangeably prostitution and solicitation mean differ things. Prostitution is generally defined as the acceptance of money by one person in exchange for sex acts performed on another person, whereas solicitation is defined as the act of propositioning another individual to exchange sex for money. This distinction is important since solicitation only requires intent, while prostitution must include actual engagement in a sex act.
If you have been arrested or charged with Prostitution or Solicitation, we recommend that you retain experienced counsel to aid in the defense of this charge. We know the law and can help you understand your rights and develop defenses to charges levied against you. To retain Garmo & Kiste, PLC call us at (248) 398-7100 for a free consultation or contact us with a private message.
The Typical Apprehension
While it is commonly assumed that law enforcement officials are lenient when dealing with prostitutes and their customers, this characterization is largely inaccurate. In fact, police departments in many counties and cities set up sting operations for the sole purpose of exposing people that are looking to find a prostitute.
In its most common form, a female undercover police officer is dispatched to a street normally frequented by prostitutes. When approached by someone interested in a sex act for money, the officer will arrest the person and charge them with solicitation.
Prosecutors in these instances are often aggressive and very willing to take the case to trial.
Have you been ticketed for Prostitution or Solicitation, for questions and to retain Garmo & Kiste, PLC call us at (248) 398-7100 for a free consultation or contact us with a private message.
Most prostitution and solicitation cases are brought under the local ordinance of the municipality in which they occur. A such punishment caries but as with other Misdemeanor charges for first time offenders can include a prison term up to 93 days and/or a fine of up to $500. Three or more offenses constitute a felony which can result in a prison term up to two years and/or a fine of $2,000. In the City of Detroit a first time offense for Offer to Engage the Services of a Prostitute carries a mandatory jail sentence of 45 days. Our law firm has been successfully able to defend against these charges in the 36th District Court and prevent our clients from serving jail time.
Perhaps most unsettling is the prospect of enduring the consequences of a prostitution or solicitation trial. Your reputation can be permanently damaged, your personal relationships will likely become strained or destroyed, and your current and future employment opportunities may be jeopardized.
You should also know a prostitution or solicitation conviction will result in mandatory testing for sexually transmitted diseases and may result in the forfeiture your vehicle if it was involved in the commission of the crime. Additionally, the court may a require you to register as a sex offender under the Michigan Sex Offender Registration Act. Thus anytime an arrest is made for solicitation or prostitution, attorney representation is critically important.
Remember, judges have a tremendous amount of discretion when imposing your punishment. Without us, or another competent attorney, you may say or do the wrong thing, increasing your punishment. For this reason, looking for an attorney who practices in the county where you were violated is particularly helpful. That said, we regularly practice in the counties of Oakland, Macomb, Wayne, and Lapeer, Livingston, Washtenaw, Genesee, and St. Clair. For more information about prostitution or solicitation, or to retain Garmo & Kiste, PLC call us at (248) 398-7100 for a free consultation or contact us with a private message.

Hair loss is a significant problem affecting millions of Americans and is a grueling process to undergo. Fortunately, there is a healthy solution to stop hair loss and regrow your hair and it comes down to simple science. Hair follicles that are damaged cannot produce new and thick hair growth but Dr. Benjamin Bieber, M.D. repairs damaged hair follicles at the cellular level. This creates a healthy hair follicle and healthy hair follicles renew hair growth.
Natural Hair Treatment with PRP has a high success rate to regenerate damaged hair follicles allowing them to grow hair again and stop the process of hair hair loss. As a result, more of the scalp is covered with new and thicker hair.

Anti-White, Anti-Christian ESPN Is Bleeding Money and Viewers
by Adam Grey
ESPN — which I've long called the Every Semite Possible Network due to its preponderance of Jewish sportscasters and writers (spend some time at JeworNotJew.com to gape at the domination of Jewish broadcasters in sports, from Chris Berman to Dick Schaap to Rich Eisen to Steve Sabol) — is bleeding subscribers according to a recent report. ESPN's loss of cable subscribers has been steep and serious enough to weigh down parent company Disney's profitability.
Disney revenue fell 3% in the quarter to $14.8 billion, which was below expectations, and profit dropped 14% to $2.5 billion. Disney faced tough comparisons at its film studio and for consumer products due to the success of "Star Wars: The Force Awakens," which was released in December 2015, but ESPN was a clear sore spot. . . .
During the call [Disney CEO Bob] Iger fielded a lot of questions about ESPN and its planned direct-to-consumer service and distribution deals with digital multichannel video programming distributors. Analysts seem upbeat on plans to turn ESPN around, and the likelihood that Iger will extend his tenure to stick around and see it through.
For months the company has denied that its declining viewership had anything to do with its support for leftist causes such as Black Lives Matter, the Colin Kaepernick protest of the national anthem, and so on. In this regard it has kept in stride with, or slightly ahead of, the sporting businesses it covers such as the NFL and NBA.
A random glance at ESPN's website reveals 24/7 implicit (and sometimes explicit) bias against males, heterosexuals, whites, Christians, and conservatives. Even its own ombudsman – the guy within the company who is supposed to police the company – recently looked into whether or not the network had a left-wing bias. Of course he danced around the question and produced an everything-is-alright account of affairs at ESPN (one of the failings of non-independent investigators), but his conclusions are hard to square with the following facts:
ESPN staffers donated 80 percent of their political contributions in 2012 and 2016 to Democrats and only 20 percent to Republicans
ESPN bought a liberal political blog, FiveThirtyEight, which consistently opposed Trump during his campaign and predicted an easy Clinton victory, and its non-sports-related articles are on the main ESPN website
ESPN created TheUndefeated.com, an overtly left-wing, pro-black website dedicated to the permanent Marxist revolution
ESPN moved its ESPY Celebrity Golf Classic from Trump National Golf Club to another course in July 2016 for strictly political reasons
ESPN awarded Bruce Caitlin "It" Jenner its highest award for athletic courage in 2015 despite Jenner's being unathletic for years, and on the pretense that Jenner was "courageous" for being willing to cut off its male genitalia and dress up like a girl in public
Compare these overtly left-wing, social justice warrior policies and actions with the intolerance towards three-time World Series champion pitcher Curt Schilling, who made a modest, sarcastic remark about the North Carolina law against transgender invasions of bathrooms and was swiftly terminated from his gig as an ESPN broadcaster.
Keep in mind, though, that it's not just ESPN that has been intolerant of Schilling. He has openly said that he believes if he were not an outspoken Republican, the sports writers who choose who belongs in the Baseball Hall of Fame would have already elected him. He's been passed over five times.
Avowedly apolitical ESPN Radio show host Ryen Russillo said Jan. 31 that his network has moved far to the left, and that it's made broadcasting on that platform unimaginably boring and irrelevant to actual sports.
I don't know what the job is anymore. I got into sports because I want to talk about sports, and now I feel like if I'm not doing a social awareness show three out of five days a week I feel like I'm doing it wrong. . . .
Like, I don't care. I find myself going, 'Man, this again today?'
Fox Sports Radio show host Clay Travis has predicted that ESPN's collapse — brought on by its shift to the far left and resonating in its balance sheets — is imminent.
Every single day this year ESPN has lost roughly 10,000 cable and satellite subscribers. . . .
Every single day the equivalent of a decent sized American town stops paying ESPN for content. This is the continuation of a trend that began in 2011 when ESPN peaked with 101 million cable and satellite subscribers according to Nielsen. Per Nielsen's most recent estimates ESPN now has 87,859,000 cable and satellite subscribers. That's a loss of over 13 million cable and satellite subscribers in the past several years, costing ESPN in the neighborhood of $1.3 billion dollars per year. ($7.30 a month in affiliate fees x 12 months x 13 million households). That's money that will never return and that's money that is incredibly significant when you consider that ESPN is on the hook for $7.3 billion in yearly sports rights fees, the most any company in the world is paying for content. . . .
Add it all up and the amounts are staggering, tens of billions of dollars in yearly fees owed regardless of what revenue looks like. With most companies you can cut costs if your revenue declines. Not ESPN. It owes these tens of billions for the next decade to come and more.
The result of this coming financial calamity has been panic, which has primarily manifested itself in a desperate ploy for relevance. ESPN decided to become a social justice warrior network, treating all liberal opinion makers as those worthy of promotion and casting aside all those who had the gall to challenge the new Disney world order. . . .
You would be astounded by how many people inside ESPN I hear from who have the absolute gall to vote Republican. Yes, they exist. And yes they are terrified of you knowing who they are. . . .
Conservative viewers aren't stupid, they see exactly what's happening.
Even crazier, SPORTS VIEWERS ARE, ON AVERAGE, CONSERVATIVE!
We should hope and pray that ESPN, like the other anti-Christian, anti-white, pro-degenerate media out there, does collapse into ruin, and that none arise to take their place. We should also work to establish our own media outlets, churches, business associations, financial institutions, schools, and more to build a Christian, pro-white civilization.

Threat Perceptions
The Policing of Dangers from Eugenics to the War on Terrorism
by Saran Ghatak
LawNonfiction
Threat Perceptions: The Policing of Dangers from Eugenics to the War on Terrorism is a study of the legal, scientific and social constructions of danger and risk of crime in the United States since the late nineteenth century. Governance of risk hasemerged as an intrinsic part of the legislative and administrative processes of contemporary societies. While institutional practices of risk management are more prevalent in contemporary times, the rationality of controlling or eliminating potential risks is not necessarily new in history. Specific aspects of contemporary risk-management techniques were present in certain early twentieth-century crime control policies. Some of the earliest instances were the defective delinquency laws directed at controlling the peril of the so-called "feebleminded" criminals. Similarly, policing of political dissent before and after the advent of McCarthyism contained elements of techniques that have been revised and expanded in the contemporary era of the PATRIOT Act.The very idea of "risk" is contingent on, and produced through the intersection of various social processes. Prevailing social conditions and political trends influence the production of risk perceptions, just as legislations and judicial precedents institutionalize the calculation and control of risk by criminal justice and security apparatuses of a nation. Simultaneously, the prediction of risk is established by scientific discourses and practices, as psychological profiles, statistical models, and other measures of risk factors render the future calculable-hence, predictable. Thus, a comprehensive understanding of risk management and security practices necessitates the analysis of these processes that essentially transforms a possibility into reality, which then forms the basis of public policies and governmental processes.

The White House will have solar panels and a solar hot water heater on its roof by the end of next spring, Energy Secretary Steve Chu said in the latest of several recent announcements about installations at sites that include NASA's Kennedy Space Center and the New York Jets' team headquarters.
Chu's announcement yesterday, made with Council of Environmental Quality Chair Nancy Sutley, coincides with the first anniversary of President Obama's Executive Order 13514, which called on the federal government to reduce, measure and report on greenhouse gas emissions.
"As you know, President Obama has a strong commitment to American leadership in solar technologies and the jobs they will create," Chu wrote in a blog that underscored the government's support of solar technology through Recovery Act grants and Department of Energy R&D programs for next-gen solar power systems. "Today, we're taking an important next step. As we move toward a clean energy economy, the White House will lead by example."
The White House solar installations are part of a DOE project to demonstrate the availability and reliability of solar power systems, especially for homes.
In related news yesterday, Interior Secretary Ken Salazar approved the first two large-scale solar energy plants to be built on public lands. Tessera Solar, the solar business for international renewable energy group NTR plc, received federal approval of its 709 MW Imperial Valley Solar Project in California. The utility-scale project is planned for 6,571 acres of federal land in Imperial County, 14 miles west of El Centro. The project's first phase is expected to generate 300 MW of energy under a 20-year power purchase agreement with San Diego Gas & Electric. The second phase of the project is expected to generate 409 MW.
Chevron Energy Solutions received approval for its plan to build a 45-megawatt solar installation on 422 acres of unincorporated federal land in San Bernardino County. Some 40.500 solar panels will be used in the Chevron Lucerne Valley Solar Project.
Monday, the NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida and the Sharp Solar Energy Solutions Group said work crews have begun installing a 79-kilowatt Sharp solar array at the center's new Propellants North Facility.
Most of the project's 336 solar panels will sit atop the building in a curved aluminum roofing system that uses next-generation, standing seam aluminum clamps, which eliminates the need for other structural connections and penetrating the roof.
The remaining panels will be used to create a solar canopy for the new facility's parking lot. That system will power six electric vehicle charging stations, a first for the Kennedy Center.
The solar panels for the installation are being made at Sharp's manufacturing plant in Memphis, Tenn.
With 3,000 Yingli Solar panels on the roof of team headquarters and training center in Florham Park, NJ, the New Yorks Jets now have bragging rights to the largest solar power system at any headquarters facility in the NFL (pictured right).
The system is designed to produce 750 megawatt-hours of electricity annually for the facility and is expected to reduce CO2 emissions by 540 metric tons each year. Installation began in June and was completed and generating power about eight weeks later.
Yingli Green Energy Holding Company Limited detailed the project in an announcement last week. Syncarpha Capital owns the system and selected SunDurance Energy LLC to create the turnkey design for the system and construct it. Evolution Energies LLC served as the project developer.
The Jets, which hosts the installation but did not have to pay for its construction, will buy energy generated by the system under a power purchase agreement. Nautilus Solar Energy LLC, a New Jersey firm, is serving as the asset manager for the renewable energy system.
Also last week, the Akron Metro Regional Transit Authority unveiled its installation on atop the bus garages at its headquarters. The system is rated at 488 kilowatts DC and is the largest roof-mounted array in Ohio. The installation is expected to produce about 487 megawatt hours of solar power a year.
Third Sun Solar of Ohio installed the system using 2,076 Sharp 235-watt solar modules, the same type used at the Kennedy Space Center. Energy produced by the solar power system is expected to prevent the emission of 350 metric tons of CO2 a year. A state grant of Recovery Act fund helped pay for the $2.5-million project.
Third Sun Solar is installing another 1,477 Sharp panels, which will supply a further 355 kilowatts DC to the Metro site, in a project that is scheduled to begin later this year.
Details about several other solar projects emerged with the start of fall.
In Modesto, PepsiCo's Frito-Lay plant added a 1 MW cylindrical solar photovoltaic system on its roof, now the home of the largest installation in the U.S. by the firm Solyndra (an example of company's product is shown on next page).
About 5,600 panels covering 247,000 square feet make up the array (pictured below) that was installed in 8 weeks.
At peak production, the system is expected to reduce the snack food factory's electricity use from outside sources by 25 percent. The system also is expected to reduce CO2 emissions by 1 kiloton each year.
The new installation is the second solar project at the facility.
In 2008, the Modesto plant launched a five-acre solar concentrator field made up of 54,000 square feet of concave mirrors.
The energy harnessed by the 384 solar collectors generates steam to help heat cooking oil used to make SunChips.
According to the company, resource efficiency programs at the Frito-Lay plant have led to a 19 percent decrease in electricity use, a 30 percent reduction in natural gas consumption and a drop in water intensity per pound of product by 44 percent since 2000.
In July, the Modesto plant received LEED-Gold certification as an existing building from the U.S. Green Building Council.
REC Solar completed a 1.1 MW ground-mounted system for Castle Rock Vineyards in Delano, Calif. The installation uses 5,400 Kyocera 210-watt modules.
Covering about four acres, it is among the larger solar power arrays in use in U.S. agriculture. Castle Rock's system is expected to generate more than 1.7 MWh and offset about 69 percent of Castle Rock's energy needs each year. The system's use also will offset an estimated 28.6 kilotons of CO2 emissions over the next 20 years, according to REC Solar.
Financing was provided by Rabobank, N.A., which has branches in California's agricultural centers from Redding to the Imperial Valley. The bank combined savings from lower utility power bills with federal and state incentives to structure a loan that has the potential of saving Castle Rock more than $100,000 a year after loan payments, according to project partners.
About the same time as the Frito-Lay and Castle Rock announcements, Janssen, a Johnson & Johnson family company, Kohl's and Walmart celebrated completion of key projects in their solar initiatives.
Also, the Salk Institute of Biological Sciences selected Stellar Solar to design and install a new 500 kW rooftop solar electric system for its campus in La Jolla.
And in August, facilities maintenance distributor Grainger said it had installed a 1.2 MW rooftop solar array at its site in Robbinsville, N.J. The system consists of about 3,900 high-efficiency solar panels and is expected to offset more than 816 metric tonnes of CO2 annually.

Today was to be a back-up day in case nothing happened at Tehachapi yesterday. As it turned out, today is Monday and Monday is window day - where the Union Pacific & BNSF cease operations so they can carry out track maintenance.
Between 7:30 am and 4:30 pm we saw 3 trains and didn't drive any further than Monolith, 16 miles away - and that's all I'll say about that.
Thankfully I bumped into a UP signal maintainer early on and he was quite happy to power up his laptop and show me a graphical interface of the rail network and where all the trains were - it was looking pretty sad. Armed with that information we decided to head back to the motel and just chill.
By 5:30 pm it was all on again but the light was fading fast. Last night at Mojave. Wonderful place.
Window days are annoying. Was the signal maintainer using ACTS?
I think I've heard of that before - it had a black screen, green lines and red blocks that indicated where each train was. Lots of data as well.
Yup that will be ACTS, you were in one of the few zones in the West that has ACTS coverage. Pretty neat stuff, every "device" on the line broadcasts its status, so points, track circuits, switch heaters, etc.


The quickest trip to Intanbul ever, leaving me hungry for more!
The hotel is famous for hosting travelers on the Orient Express, with Agatha Christie writing her famous novel in this hotel (Murder on the Orient Express). Very impressive property.
9am: The first place I visited was the Roman Hippodrome. A few steps away is the Sultanahment Mosque, also known as the Blue Mosque due to its blue handcrafted tiles throughout. It is still an active mosque, you see worshippers throughout.
10:30am: Tour of the Hagia Sophia. The Hagia Sophia has changed through many hands over time, First being the center of the Eastern Orthodox church and was converted to a mosque in the 15th century before becoming a museum in 1935. The Hagia Sophia is famous for its massive dome, which represented the epitome of Byzantine architecture and was the first dome built over a basilica formation. Walking through the mosque, you can see how its timeline is reflected in the architecture. From byzantine Mosaics and icons representing early christianity to beautiful arabic calligraphy.
12pm: Took a cab to the famous Spice Market – as an amateur chef, this place was heaven! Saffron, Sumac, Curry-you name it! Vendors will package the spices for you so that they are easily taken by plane. My only regret is that I didn't buy more!!
2pm: Made my way to the Grand Bazaar – which is a shopping experience like no other.
Just outside the Grand Bazaar, I visited an authentic Turkish Rug dealer who provided a demonstration on how the rugs were made which is mind-blowing. Everything is done by hand, and there is a particular technique passed down through family tradition. As the country becomes more modernized, fewer and fewer young people continue the tradition of rug making, which is making it a dying (and expensive) art.
7pm: After a quick nap, I headed to the Kumkapi quarter of Istanbul, known for having amazing seafood restaurants. I had dinner at Neyzen restaurant – fresh Sea Brim from the Sea of Marmara chased down with Raki – a drink famous in Turkey. The taste is very similar to greek ouzo.
The restaurant had a live band.. so I of course had to join in!
5pm – Headed to my next destination !

Charlie Mullins: Business rates change will inspire growth of home-based enterprise
Charlie Mullins - Founder, Pimlico Plumbers
In the past, SMEs were often in the same basket as the beer drinkers, car drivers and smokers – an easy target for tax rises to fill a hole in the chancellor's coffers.
However, the descent of the banking sector-induced recession on the economy revealed that old-fashioned enterprise, led by an army of entrepreneurs and SME business owners, could pull the country up by its bootstraps to get it back on an even keel.
In each of his last eight Budgets the chancellor has acknowledged the contribution of small businesses to the economy and over that period helped to make the environment a lot more welcoming for startup entrepreneurs and SMEs champing at the bit to grow.
And the figures back this up. Since the turn of the century, 1.9m small business have been established, which includes 146,000 in 2014, delivering a record-breaking 5.4m private sector businesses in the UK at the start of 2015.
I would hope that those with business ambitions are not distracted by the political arguments over disability benefits and the shadow cast by the upcoming EU debate that has dogged the Budget in the days since George Osborne stood up at the despatch box. Behind those headline-grabbing issues was a batch of measures that will help and inspire entrepreneurs to take the first or next decisive step in business.
Improved tax relief for entrepreneurs who invest in their own businesses and another cut in corporation tax, from 20 per cent to 17 per cent in 2020, along with changes to commercial property stamp duty are all incentives to build and grow a business. However, the most significant was the changes made to business rates, which has the potential to create the next boom in small business growth.
The cut in business rates will see 600,000 small firms paying no rates on the property occupied with a rateable value of £12,000 and below. Those businesses with premises with a rateable value between £12,000 and £15,000 will receive tapered relief.
This massive change will help hundreds of thousands of small companies that have been restricted by an outdated tax system. But even more significantly it opens the door to micro-home businesses to grow and expand.

London will be a far worse place without black cabs
A lack of competition in business breeds complacency
The prospect of paying business rates will have deterred so many home businesses from transforming from one-man or one-woman-bands into job-creating and sustaining enterprises. But now that barrier has been removed these home-based entrepreneurs should be encouraged to go from the kitchen table to their own dedicated business premises.
A huge percentage of small businesses in the UK are run from home. Figures from 2013 put the number at 2.9m – 59 per cent of all business in the country that year. Emma Jones, founder of Enterprise Nation, was quoted as saying these businesses contribute £243bn in turnover to the economy. That's a significant number, about £1 for every 11 quid of turnover.
Many of these enterprises will also be one-person businesses. Moving from home to business premises creates greater opportunity for growth. And with growth, comes employment.
The money saved from paying business rates can go towards employing people or taking on apprentices. Just imagine if just half of those businesses each created a new job.
And that's the key to maintaining our economic recovery; creating jobs that keep the economy moving. On the day of the Budget it was announced that unemployment is now 1.68m, which is down 171,000 since last year and 865,000 since 2010.
It proves the chancellor's plan is working, which is providing the spark that can light the fire under the UK's enterprising masses. Entrepreneurs should harness that fire and rocket-propel the economy forward to the benefit of the whole country.
Some of the best businesses have started life on the kitchen counter, including The Cambridge Satchel Company – as we found out in our interview with founder Julie Deane.
