Thanksgiving 2005 was the day my life would change forever. I dropped dead and somehow was allowed to return because I had yet to fulfill my true calling. I saw the life drain from my eyes as the lights were turned off in my head. I saw the light in the tunnel where I was met by others who showed me what I had done with my life. On the gurney was a withered hand and forearm, a symbol of that part of me that I had not yet extended to humanity. My book, my life and these websites are an attempt now to offer a loving hand. It has become my calling. There is no other reason for my living than to fulfill what had yet to be fulfilled.
I sometimes feel stuck. Not knowing the right answers or the next right move. I'm told in deep meditation, "You already know the way. You have done this before." There is a place within me that does have the answers. It is a place within us all where we share in the light of our True Self. The answers received are not however the instructional answers we are used to receiving like a recipe with measured amounts. Life is meant to be lived in the moment and off the cuff.
OK here is a dream that was so profound in that it was like no other dream I have ever had before. I love it when you experience something new. I was fully lucid but not in the normal sense. I've shared before that often I have entered a dream state while fully awake but normally it happens after having actually woken up as I remain in bed or as I'm falling asleep and usually connected to meditation. In this dream, I woke up within the dream to become 100% aware of everything around me. I believe this happened as a result of setting my cell phone to beep as a subliminal queue for me to meditate while I'm dreaming. When I first woke up in the dream I was caught off guard. I immediately looked around and thought what the hell is going on here. Where the f@%$ am I? I knew everything about myself I simply had not yet opened my yes. I'm sure I was still within sleep paralysis. I was fearless. I quickly figured out that I was dreaming. What amazed me was all that was going on around me and the level of detail with which it was playing itself out. Someone had gone through an awful lot of work to meticulously set this virtual stage up. I was also fully encapsulated within my dream body. I was my dream.
I see dinosaurs roaming the land. This is the Land that Time Forgot. Cut off by an alien reptilian race of people who have infiltrated the land. I quickly became aware that help is on the way. They are trying to get a message passed to me by way of a child that is about to be born to a woman with 3 heads. Her belly was concealed under a heavy blouse which extends toward me. My consciousness splits and I become aware of my bed in which my physical body is laying. I lift my covers and see that my covers are her blouse. In other words, when I lift my covers I'm lifting her blouse. I'm aware of both dimensions. She is going into labor. They signal to me that I must receive the child and care for it. The child is somehow the savior, the help they have sent. It must pass unnoticed by the Reptilians. I'm thinking I don't know the first thing about child birth. I can see that she is going into labor. The reptilians come to ask what all is going on with her. She pushes her belly to the side and out pops the child under my sheets. I'm happy that now I will have a child of my own. (Something I've always wanted but have not had the good fortune of having.) But wait the child is a Reptilian. I have to make him cry or something. I look over at one of the woman's 3 heads…it is her third head which turns to look at me. She snarls with the mouth of a reptilian creature. Have they tricked me?
The love of a mother kicks in and compassion for the reptilian child fills my heart. This child, reptilian as he may be, needs my love for it to survive. It bites my finger and I think to myself…I'm going to have to tame this reptile to make him docile and friendly. My consciousness returns to a state of single focus within the dream. I know whatever is happening here there is a message that I need not tamper with. So I simply follow along with the dream. I take the reptilian child home with me and put him on a leash on my balcony. Over time he becomes docile and changes color from his birth color of a purple brown to a vivid green like an iguana. He is very cute and friendly now yet somewhat mischievous. I think I may be able to someday send him out among the Reptilian race and have him serve under cover for the alliance, kind of like Warf in Star Trek.
The scene then changes and I am being told via symbols that the Reptilians are the same alien race that brought down the planes on 911. I'm re-living the scenes where people are falling from the sky with plane debris below me. As I'm now falling to my death I decide to change the dream scene and stretch out my wings to fly. I immediately take flight with incredibly powerful wings. I fly by the others who are in panic descending to their death and I signal to them to tell them just do as I'm doing and stretch out your wings. You all have the gift of flight. In the end the Reptilians become more human like and we become more Reptilian. A balance is struck between both sides and out of the mouth of my little green iguana pops out a white baby dinosaur bird with feathers. My little iguana then tries to bite the tail of the baby bird but I quickly grab the bird. Once again and feel compassion now for my new little addition to my family. I'm now the mother of a dinosaur bird.
Dream: How Do I Achieve Enlightenment?
I find myself with a group of people. I'm looking for my loved one, my partner, my soul mate, my twin flame. I see a guy standing in a movie theatre and I run up to him. The house lights in the theatre are still on. I put my arms around him knowing he is the one. He does not resist me but he also does not move to embrace me. He says, "You think you found your soul mate?" I reply, "I know I did." I dig my nose into the side of his neck where it meets the front of his chest. I can smell his essence. I can see his golden brown bearded face and I know I am home. He then say's, "Yea, but do you remember what you did?" He wasn't asking me this in judgment, he wanted to know if I was still standing in judgment of myself but at the time he asked I did not know why he was asking me. I failed the response by answering with a defense. A little trickster guy beside me lifted me up off my feet and pushed my foot so as to nudge the person seated in front of me. I did not want to do wrong against another so I moved to prevent him from entrapping me. I quickly returned to the tight embrace in which I held my loved one so as to not allow him to leave my sight. I immediately went into a state of bliss.
When I came out he said to me, "What if this is not my true form?" He then transformed himself into other forms many bearing the faces of many other humans. I questioned myself, did I have prejudices or could I truly receive him in whatever form he appeared? He finally assumed the form of a green alien creature. He was friendly in appearance but nonetheless alien to me. He was now standing about 10 feet away under a shadowy overhang. He then said, "Would you embrace me now?" to which I replied, "Yes." I knew I had to remain with an open heart. I then moved to wrap my arms around him. I once again immediately fell into a state of utter bliss.
When I reemerged I had a false awakening. I quickly recognized this was not my 3rd dimensional reality so I quickly moved my spirit from the dream body to trigger an out of body experience. I floated out of my body and ascended into the heavens. I wondered if I had died. It was so incredibly beautiful. Luminous nebulous clouds were everywhere. Angels and fairies were perched within the clouds radiating all the many colors of the rainbow. My spirit then took form. I was the ugliest form in the heavens but I did not care. I was simply happy to be there. I then walked around this realm observing what it felt like to be housed in this new body. It was awkward. A group of angels approached me and asked if I was OK. I said, "Yes," with a smile as I looked down upon my swollen hairy arms. There was grace to be found in heaven and I soon shed my ugliness.
I was carried off by the hand of God and my spirit was placed in a great elephant. I was given a master who loved me and whom I loved and faithfully served. I relived all the years of his life. There were times of great joy when my feet never touched the ground. As I neared the end of my years it came a time when my body could no longer sustain me. My master knew this and one day administered a lethal dose of poison so that my spirit may be freed. As the poison took hold I cringed in pain. I then saw from the back of his neck emerge my spirit once again free.
I thought it good to migrate my old blog to this new space which mapping the DOT COM address to where I am now in full control of the blog, its features and all the inner workings. I am free to do anything here. I'm not yet sure how much of the old blog I will migrate over as much of the material posted in the old blog I used in my book so I need to be selective of what I bring over. Nevertheless, I have a new home.

Q: File manager undefined value for use unlink function I added to my file manager a part in JavaScript to confirm the deletion. I have change my button onclick which calls the JavaScript function which allow to launch the deletion of the file, but I can't Forward file name in the JavaScript function. Actually in return I have: undefined in the variable.
So I can't recover the name of my file...
For use the function unlink I need ../CODE/image/name.mp3 for example
It's a part of my code tell me if you would like more tell me.

    <?php
    $adress="../CODE/son/";
    $desti="../CODE/image/";
    $dossier = opendir($adress);
     while ($File = readdir($dossier))
          {
           if ($File != "." && $File != "..")
             {
               echo '<button onclick="valid()" class="btn btn-primary" style="background-color: #ae0484" input id="'.$File.'" > Delete </button> => <button type="button" class="btn btn-primary" style="background-color: #ae0484"> Copy </button>  =>'.$File.'
';
             }
           }

    if(isset($_GET['nom1']))
        {
          $File0=$File;
          $adress="../CODE/son/";
          $nom=''.$adress.$_GET['nom1'].'';
          suppression($adress,$nom,$File0);
        };

     function suppression ($adress,$nom,$File0)
        if ($File0 != "." && $File0 != "..")
          {
              unlink($nom);
              echo 'The file "'.$nom.'" has been erased !
';.
          }
      };
    ?>

A: The JavaScript part is missing an equal sign here:
window.location  = "Gestionnaire.php?nom1"+id;

It should be:
window.location  = "Gestionnaire.php?nom1="+id;

At the PHP side, you're using nom2 as parameter name in the generated HTML, but you're testing for nom1.
So this code:
if(isset($_GET['nom1']))

will never be true.

What is a Neutrino?
PARTICLE-PHYSICS-CARTOON
CC0, via Pixabay
Fran takes this question...
Fran - Yeah, that's a good question. A neutrino is a very, very light particle. It's one of the particles of the standard model, which means we're very sure it exists. It's produced in radioactive decays, and around a hundred trillion neutrinos pass through your body every second. But because they're so weakly interacting, they just go straight through you and you don't notice them. To detect even a handful of neutrinos we have to build huge and very, very sensitive detectors; but they're actually all around us, they come from the sun, they come from nuclear reactors, they were produced in the early universe... so they're just everywhere.
Chris - So are they actually part and parcel of an atom or, are they only produced when there's a radioactive event - an atom decays, for example, and then the particle whizzes off - and if the latter, what's their ultimate fate then?
Fran - They're only produced in a radioactive decay, as you say. When they're produced by the atom they whizz off. And they don't really have an ultimate fate. They just stream through the universe forever.
Chris - Does that mean the number of them is therefore, theoretically, permanently increasing indefinitely?
Fran - Yes, but space is expanding. So more and more are being produced, but they're also being diluted by the expansion of space.
Chris - But the number of neutrinos out there is going up all the time, through radioactive decay? And they're not going to turn into anything else, there's nothing else they can do, once they're a neutrino?
Fran - They do occasionally turn into other things in a process that's like the inverse of radioactive decay. I don't quite know how those two effects balance out. My guess would be that whenever a radioactive decay happens, some decays always produce a neutrino, whereas once the neutrino is there it's very rare for it to ever interact with anything. So my guess would be the total number of neutrinos is always increasing. But I'd have to go and check that to tell you for sure.

Georgia State (0-1) at No. 5 Penn State (2-0), Saturday 7:30 p.m. (BTN).
Line: Penn State by 38½.
The Nittany Lions get a final tuneup before starting their Big Ten title defense at Iowa next week. There are things Penn State could stand to clean up before then, namely a passing offense that was spotty against Pitt last week. In its eighth year of competition, Georgia State is still looking for a win against a Power Five opponent. The Panthers scared Wisconsin last season and led the Badgers early in the fourth quarter.
Georgia State's secondary vs. Penn State's receivers. Certainly, the Panthers will crowd the line to try and slow RB Saquon Barkley. Eventually, they'll have to stop a group of wideouts that includes speedsters DaeSean Hamilton and DeAndre Thompkins and TE Mike Gesicki, who has caught 16 passes for 230 yards and seven touchdowns in his last five games. Barkley caught a 46-yard touchdown pass last week, so there's that too.
Georgia State: WR Penny Hart. Back after missing nearly all of 2016 with a broken foot, Hart is the Panthers' biggest playmaker on offense. He set a Sun Belt record with 1,099 receiving yards as a freshman.
Penn State: QB Trace McSorley. The junior quarterback attributed some of his off-the-mark throws to early "jitters" last week. Considering he's completed 61 percent or more of his passes in four of his last five games, it'd be reasonable to think he'll bounce back.
Barkley leads the Big Ten and is second in the nation with 215 all-purpose yards per game. . Gesicki will tie Penn State's record for career touchdown catches by a tight end with one more. . Penn State hasn't hosted a team from Georgia since Georgia Tech visited Happy Valley in 1923. . Georgia State is coming off a bye. . The Panthers are 0-8 against Power Five teams. . This game will be Georgia State's first on natural grass since 2015.

Refusing to step on the slippery slope …
Posted in 5 August 2010
NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg's speech about the city NOT outlawing a mosque near 'ground zero' World Trade Center is being hailed as one of his finest hours.
New YorkDaily News:
He's usually a technocrat, and often comes across that way, but today's speech was a stirring declaration of principle.
Key passage, quoted around the world:
Whatever you may think of the proposed mosque and community center, lost in the heat of the debate has been a basic question: Should government attempt to deny private citizens the right to build a house of worship on private property based on their particular religion? That may happen in other countries, but we should never allow it to happen here.
"This nation was founded on the principle that the government must never choose between religions or favor one over another. The World Trade Center site will forever hold a special place in our city, in our hearts. But we would be untrue to the best part of ourselves and who we are as New Yorkers and Americans if we said no to a mosque in lower Manhattan.
"Let us not forget that Muslims were among those murdered on 9/11, and that our Muslim neighbors grieved with us as New Yorkers and as Americans. We would betray our values and play into our enemies' hands if we were to treat Muslims differently than anyone else. In fact, to cave to popular sentiment would be to hand a victory to the terrorists, and we should not stand for that.
"For that reason, I believe that this is an important test of the separation of church and state as we may see in our lifetimes, as important a test. And it is critically important that we get it right.
Putting my (uninvolved) discomfort at the dichotomy aside, I think he's right about that.
It's not how others act, it's how WE act that matters.
Read the whole speech here at NYDailyNews.com
Big Questions - Encouragement
There's some really good discussion going on about this mosque decision in NYC, including this:
The Anti-Defamation League, a Jewish civil rights organization, has opposed building the new mosque. I hope the A.D.L. is defeated on this issue, and the mosque is built. Still, I am not unhappy to see the A.D.L. raise a ruckus. The ambiguities should be discussed.
I hope that the imam of the mosque and the leader of the A.D.L., in talking over these things, succeed in reassuring one another of their mutual good intentions. I hope the two leaders become the best of friends, and go on marches together, arm in arm, in the cause of religious freedom and against every kind of bigotry.
from Paul Berman, a writer in residence at New York University, the author of, among other books, "Terror and Liberalism," "Power and the Idealists" and "The Flight of the Intellectuals."
Yes, I agree. The ambiguities need to be discussed. Like this:
Now, Michael Bloomberg is learning that what works in New York may not be so well received elsewhere. His call for tolerance and even-handedness may even seem dangerously out of touch for those outside of New York. Critics of the mosque see its users not as potential neighbors, but as unwelcome strangers.
The pain of families of the victims of the 9/11 attacks is understandable. But what of the opponents who don't live in New York? To them, the World Trade Center doesn't belong to New York City, and the city has become once again an image rather than a real place. The city will have to find its own way.
Among those out-of-towners, the religious right, typified by '… politicians like Sarah Palin, Newt Gingrich and others outside the city have been lacerating in their criticism. Mr. Gingrich, for one, said that the proposed Islamic center "is a test of the timidity, passivity and historic ignorance of American elites." ' … says The New York Times.
http://www.nytimes.com/roomfordebate/2010/8/5/a-mosque-and-new-york-city
Some seem to think they have some 'right' to obliterate the rights of other believers, because of their (sometimes meagre) understanding — their own 'historic ignorance' — or worse, cant [def: insincere talk about religion or morals] regarding the Founding Father's ethnicity and stated religious preferences. Conveniently, they ignore the Freemason influence (oops.)
Sure, as some bigots point out, it says 'In God We Trust' on the currency, but what about this?:
Wake up and smell the coffee.
Oh read this article (if you care)… it's a dismantling of Newt Gingrich's hysterical misinformation about Muslim historical conquest …
from a blog called: GOT MEDIEVAL — A[N INTERMITTENTLY UPDATED] TONIC FOR THE SLIPSHOD USE OF MEDIEVAL EUROPEAN HISTORY IN THE MEDIA AND POP CULTURE.
Professor Newt's Distorted History Lesson
written by Got Medieval at Monday, August 02, 2010
There are any number of reasons why an American might oppose the Cordoba House, the planned $100 million Muslim-financed community center that has come to be known in the press as the "Ground Zero mosque." I don't think any of them are particularly good reasons, but the universe of potential justification is much broader than the narrow scope of this humble blog. There is one justification being floated around, however, that is both within this blog's purview and completely and totally bogus. Indeed, this particular justification is such an egregious and purposeful misreading of medieval history that I feel I must speak up.
Last week,* Newt Gingrich released a Newt Direct statement at Newt.org concerning the project. As you may have heard, he's somewhat opposed to it. And to explain why, he offered this history lesson:
The proposed "Cordoba House" overlooking the World Trade Center site – where a group of jihadists killed over 3000 Americans and destroyed one of our most famous landmarks – is a test of the timidity, passivity and historic ignorance of American elites. For example, most of them don't understand that "Cordoba House" is a deliberately insulting term. It refers to Cordoba, Spain – the capital of Muslim conquerors who symbolized their victory over the Christian Spaniards by transforming a church there into the world's third-largest mosque complex. […I]n fact, every Islamist in the world recognizes Cordoba as a symbol of Islamic conquest. It is a sign of their contempt for Americans and their confidence in our historic ignorance that they would deliberately insult us this way. [emphasis mine]
It's that appositive phrase there buried in the middle of my quote that is the problem. In these twenty-five words, Newt offers the final word on medieval Cordoba: "the capital of Muslim conquerors who symbolized their victory over Christian Spaniards by transforming a church there into the world's third-largest mosque complex." This fact, the transformation of a church into a mosque, is the only thing we should think of when we hear a modern Muslim use the word "Cordoba," according to Mr. Gingrich.
Notice how carefully he's phrased his claim to give the impression that during the medieval conquest of Spain the Muslims charged into Cordoba and declared it the capital of a new Muslim empire, and in order to add insult to injury seized control of a Christian church and built the biggest mosque they could, right there in front of the Christians they'd just conquered, a big Muslim middle finger in the heart of medieval Christendom. Essentially, they've done it before, they'll do it again, right there at Ground Zero, if all good Christians don't band together to stop them.
The problem is, in order to give that impression of immediacy, Newt elides three-hundred years of Christian and Muslim history. Three-hundred years. The Muslims conquered Cordoba in 712. The Christian church that was later transformed into the Great Mosque of Cordoba apparently** continued hosting Christian worship for at least a generation after that. Work on the Mosque didn't actually begin until seventy-odd years later in 784, and the mosque only became "the world's third-largest" late in the tenth century, after a series of expansions by much later rulers, probably around 987 or so.
The whole post is worth reading.

A World Quite Mad
Monday, August 02, 2010 9:15:00 PM
The Christians ought to keep their mouths shut when it comes to mentioning the medieval period (and more ancient history), lest they insert both feet.
Of course most of them are ignorant of the slaughter that took place in Spain when the Christians gained control of it back from the Muslims. The Muslims had ruled in peace over the Christians and the Jews, allowing them to continue practicing their religions and as you say, study side by side. When the Christians took Spain back, they expelled all of the Muslims (that they hadn't killed) and gave the Jews an ultimatum. Convert, leave or die. Of the ones that converted, they were scrutinized (i.e. tortured and/or executed) by the Spanish Inquisition on a regular basis, and often believed to have relapsed into what Bernard Gui calls the "vomit" of Judaism.
Heck, what am I saying? I bet Newtie boy and his readers have never even heard of Gui. *sigh*
Leadership — not always about popularity @ The Paepae says:
[…] what I'm talking about. Enough with the pious BS from the religious right and those looking for a smokescreen. Amen. Another student of the US Constitution opposes ignorant, shallow religious bigotry. […]

The landmarked building featured many late Gothic details. On December 10, 2019, the Landmarks Preservation Commission voted to rescind the individual landmark designation of a vacant lot, located at 425 Grand Concourse, Bronx. The lot was formerly the location of Public School 31, which was demolished in 2015.

Interior landmark is composed of contiguous spaces over three floors, including the Main Lobby and Grand Ballroom. The Landmarks Preservation Commission voted to designate the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel Interiors at its meeting on March 7, 2017. The exterior of the Hotel, at 301 Park Avenue in Manhattan, has been an individual City landmark since 1993. The hotel was purchased by Chinese investment firm Anbang in 2014. Anbang has closed the hotel for renovation, and intends to partially convert the building to condominium use. (more…)

Cathedral of St. John the Divine and Six Auxiliary Buildings Collectively Designated an Individual Landmark
Landmarks Preservation Commission • Designation • Morningside Heights, Manhattan
St. John the Divine Cathedral. Image Credit: LPC.
Unfinished cathedral, the largest in the world, designated a landmark for second time. On February 21, 2017, Landmarks commissioners voted to designate the St. John the Divine Cathedral and Close an individual City landmark. The cathedral, the seat of the Episcopal Diocese of New York, is the largest church in the United States, and the largest cathedral in the world. It stands at 1047 Amsterdam Avenue, in Manhattan's Morningside Heights neighborhood.
The Landmarks Commission first held a hearing on the potential designation of the cathedral in 1966, and ultimately voted to designate the cathedral a City landmark in 2003. The designation was overturned by the City Council because it was limited to the cathedral's footprint, and would allow for the development of the rest of the campus.
The Commission again added the cathedral to its calendar on July 19, 2016. This potential designation included six historic auxiliary buildings comprising the cathedral close. (more…)

In addition to the high volatility that's typical of tech IPOs, and Chinese tech IPOs in particular, Pinduoduo stock appears to have seen big swings stemming from concerns about fake listings on its platform and escalating trade tensions between China and America.
A small package in a miniature shopping cart.
Shortly after Pinduoduo's IPO, concerns heightened about the prevalence of fake listings and counterfeit goods being sold through the company's platform. To its credit, the company appears to have moved quickly to address this issue -- removing 4.3 million listings from Aug. 2 through Aug. 9. The stock closed out July up roughly 18% from its IPO price despite no substantial news, so a quick reversal isn't exactly unexpected.
Pinduoduo reported first-quarter earnings on Aug. 30 and has seen shares rebound following the results. The company posted a $0.20 loss per American depositary share in its first quarter, but there was plenty of good news as well. Gross merchandise volume conducted through the platform over the trailing 12-month period was up 583% to reach $39.6 billion, second-quarter sales were up nearly 2,500% to reach roughly $409 million, and average monthly active users climbed 495% over the prior-year quarter to hit 195 million.
Pinduoduo stock has regained ground in September, with shares trading up roughly 8.5% in the month as of this writing.
While the company isn't profitable, it's growing at an incredible rate and has the potential to continue benefiting from ongoing tailwinds in the Middle Kingdom's online retail space. Investors should proceed with the understanding that Pinduoduo is a high-risk stock, but it's one that's worth keeping an eye on for those interested in China's fast-growing e-commerce market.

Spectrum of Comet 46P/Wirtanen
Attached is a raw spectrum image of Comet 46P/Wirtanen from this evening taken using the Celestron C11 and ALPY 600 spectrograph
The bright horizontal line is from the very condensed (almost stellar in appearance) dusty central region, mainly a spectrum of reflected sunlight. (A solar analogue reference star was also recorded to extract the comet signature)
The diffuse outer region of the coma which extends well beyond the length of the slit (6 arcmin) shows clear Swan and other molecular bands, along with many sky lines from air glow and artificial light pollution. (which hopefully can be subtracted using separate sky measurements a couple of degrees away from the comet)

Robin, That's a really nice
Robin, That's a really nice demonstration of the difference betwen the gas and dust in the coma.
Last seen: 7 hours 24 sec ago
Comet 46P/Wirtanen
Here is a spectrum of comet 46P taken last night Dec 9.908 with a LISA spectrograph on a C11. Total exposure time was 3000 sec. The spectrum was integrated in the Y direction over 27 arcsec on the sky which is approximately 3x the FWHM of the bright central region of the spectrum. Sky subtraction regions were approx 3 arcmin away for the comet so although they will contain some light from the coma this is relatively faint at that distance and so should not significantly reduce the intensity of the central spectrum.
I have tentatively identified the most prominent lines using the table in Brown et al., Astronomical Journal, 112, 1197-1202 (1996). Although there is also an emission line from NH2 at 6300A, most references appear to attribute the very bright line at that wavelength to [O I].
John Coffin
Nice spectra. I tried to collect a spectrum of 38P/Stephan-Oterma last week. The spectrum of the nucleus was basically a straight line and the coma indistinguishable from the sky background spectrum from a part of the sky a few degrees away, (total exposure 4200 secs). On reflection I think I was a bit optimistic, the nucleus is mag 14.5 and the total mag is 10. I wondered if a a short focal length telescope is better for spectra of faint comets. What magnitude does a comet need to reach before it's reasonable to expect to capture a spectrum with amateur equipment?
djswan2002
Nice spectra, both. It is good to hear Robin that you can subtract the contribution of airglow and light pollution - if only we could all do that for all observation modalities! The comet is rapidly moving out of the worst light pollution for me and is now a) not a problem to locate in binoculars (albeit not impressive visually) b) a good imaging target with an extended coma within reach of my camera. I get a mag of 5, which is very close to Nick's value (4.9).
Capturing spectra of faint comets
The best results will come from matching the focal ratio of the scope to that of the spectroscope, possibly using a focal reducer. In the case of the LISA that is F/5. Then it's a matter of as much aperture as you can afford. With comets you need to be able to guide on the brightest part of the coma around the nucleus. It's a bit of a catch 22 situation. Comets are often at their brightest when they are closest to the Earth but they will then be moving at their fastest. This will test your system's ability to guide on a faint fast moving object. 46P was moving at about 8"/min last night which was not too bad. Even so, my system was struggling to keep in on the slit. You also ideally want a comet with a well condensed coma. 46P isn't ideal in that respect. Although its total mag is around 9, the light is spread over an area greater than the Moon so it is very diffuse. Nevertheless the centre of 46P is till bright enough to guide on at the moment.
That's helpful, thanks, John
Reduced spectra
Here are my reduced spectra.
The diffuse coma integrated along the slit above and below the bright condensed region between 15 and 105 arcsec from the centre. Since the coma extended beyond the length of the slit the sky background was measured separately and subtracted. All the usual molecular components are there (CN is particularly intense in the UV) but no obvious Sodium.
The bright central region (6 arcsec diameter), again with the separately measured sky background subtracted showing the same emission components seen in the outer coma superimposed on a continuum spectrum with absorption lines.
The overall shape of the continuum and the absorption features match that of the solar spectrum (here compared with a solar analogue star taken the same night), though there appears to be a lack of flux from the comet around 4000-5000A ie the reflected light from the comet is deficient in the blue part of the spectrum
Reflectance spectrum
I have now approximately subtracted the emission component from the spectrum of the central 6 arcsec and divided it by the solar spectrum to produce a reflectance spectrum.
It looks similar to some asteroid reflectance spectra. Since the central region is so condensed and from images there does not appear to be much dust is it possibly representative of the comet nucleus albedo or is it just scattering from dust of a particular particle size distribution? Does anyone have a feel for how bright the nucleus would appear in reflected sunlight at this distance if not active?
Great work from all the
Great work from all the spectroscopists on this. The Comet Section Director is obviously going to have to learn a bit more chemistry!
Robin. I think the bare nucleus of 46P is only around 4km in diameter so you won't be seeing anything from that. Even though most people are imaging the green Swan emission lines from gas in the coma there will be a considerable amount of dust close in. The surface brightness profile of the coma is attached. The dust will be significant in the inner part of the coma.
profile.jpg
Nucleus brightness and dust distribution
A figure I have seen for the diameter of the nucleus is 1.2km so a quick back of envelope calculation using the brightness of the moon as a reference and assuming the same albedo suggests that the naked nucleus would have a brightness of ~ mag 12 currently.
(distance ratio)^2 ~1000. x (diameter ratio)^2 ~10^7 = 10^10 = ~ 25 mag + mag -13 = ~ mag 12
(corrected)
which is in the ball park of what I would have guestimated it to be from the guider image. I suspect you are right though and the nucleus is indeed hidden from view by dust.
That green channel profile includes a lot of Swan band emission. Here is a vertical slice through the spectrum in a region devoid of emission lines.
It is much narrower with the reflected/scattered component mostly confined close to the centre in a region with FWHM ~ 8arcsec. There is some spread, presumably dust, but approximately 30% of the total flux comes from a region similar in width to that produced by a star in the spectrograph which with my setup is typically ~5 arcsec FWHM (wider than a normal image due to astigmatism in the spectrograph optics and guiding errors)
HST observation - nucleus "moderately red"
I've found this reference for a measurement of the nucleus by the HST
http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/1998A&A...335L..25L
" The color of the nucleus is moderately red with a gradient of 10% per 1000 Angstroms at optical wavelengths"
which is consistent with my measurement of the reflectance spectrum of the inner region. This is not proof that we are seeing the nucleus of course but the similarity is interesting
Robin, Yes you're right about
Robin, Yes you're right about the nucleus diameter (I was thinking it was around the same as Rosetta's actual target, 67P, but it is quite a bit smaller. Your calculation for the bare nucleus mag is pretty good. JPL Horizons gives a nuclear mag on Dec 9 of 12.85. I get mags of 11.91V, 11.30R in an 11 arcsec diameter aperture and the R profile is definitely broader than G close in (R is mainly dust, G is mainly gas). I think you are seeing the inner dense dust cloud around the nucleus which is probably around 1.5 mags brighter than the nucleus on its own.
This plot was obtained using a widefield system with a pixel size of 2.77 arcsec.
no evidence of nucleus in spectrum
Thanks Nick,
Just to finally put this one to bed, I checked the reflectance spectrum in a 3 arcsec window at the centre where the nucleus would be if it were detectable and compared it with the region between 5-10 arcsec from the centre where the reflectance component is still strong but outside the nucleus. They both show the same trend of decreasing reflectance towards the blue so there is no evidence of the nucleus in the spectrum. I am a bit surprised about the dust reflectance spectrum though. I had expected perhaps the opposite trend with enhanced scattering in the blue.

Today's Market / Co-Founder Fred Ehrsam Just Bought $1.8 Million in Coinbase (COIN) Stock
Co-Founder Fred Ehrsam Just Bought $1.8 Million in Coinbase (COIN) Stock
Ehrsam has purchased shares of COIN stock three times this month
May 27, 2022 By Eddie Pan, InvestorPlace Assistant News Writer May 27, 2022, 3:54 pm EST May 27, 2022
Coinbase (NASDAQ:COIN) co-founder Fred Ehrsam purchased 30,030 shares of COIN stock on May 24
The shares were purchased at an average price of $60.60

Shares of Coinbase stock are in the spotlight today following another insider purchase from co-founder Fred Ehrsam. This is Ehrsam's third insider purchase of the crypto exchange this month. In fact, no Coinbase insider has purchased shares of COIN stock this year on the open market besides Ehrsam.
Ehrsam helped found Coinbase alongside current CEO Brian Armstrong. Eventually, he also moved away from the company and helped found Paradigm, an investment firm that focuses on cryptocurrency and Web 3.0 opportunities.
Let's get into the details of Ehrsam's purchase.
Co-founder and Director Fred Ehrsam Buys COIN Stock
On May 24, Fred Ehrsam purchased 30,030 shares at an average price of $60.60 per share. In total, the purchase amounted to just over $1.8 million. Ehrsam indirectly purchased all of these shares through the Paradigm One Fund. After the purchase, Ehrsam indirectly owns 1.12 million shares through the fund. He also owns another 1.13 million shares through the The Frederick Ernest Ehrsam III Living Trust and 1,213 shares directly. Finally, Ehrsam owns an additional 2.58 million shares through the Paradigm Fund.
Earlier, on May 17, Ehrsam purchased 385,260 shares through the Paradigm One Fund at average prices ranging between $63.92 and $66.52. The purchase amounted to a massive $25 million. However, Ehrsam made an even bigger purchase on May 13, purchasing 706,554 shares at average prices ranging between $69.53 and $72.85. That purchase amounted to a whopping $50 million.
Ehrsam seems to be buying back shares at a discount after selling out shares following the company's initial public offering (IPO). One article from The Wall Street Journal details how four Coinbase insiders sold $1.2 billion of COIN following the company's IPO. These four insiders are co-founders Fred Ehrsam and Brian Armstrong as well as COO Emilie Choi and CPO Surojit Chatterjee. At its initial public offering, COIN stock initiated trading at $381. The four insiders sold shares at prices between $189 and $422. Today, the stock is trading in the low $70 range.
Armstrong sold shares worth $292 million through both himself and his trust. On top of that, Ehrsam sold nearly $500 million of COIN. Meanwhile, Choi "exercised options at a cost of $9.7 million […] while Chatterjee exercised options at a cost of $6 million." Choi and Chatterjee also sold shares worth $226 million and $110 million, respectively.

You must be a member of the Munich Junior Stammtisch Group to attend this activity. Would you like to join this group?
Let's meet for our traditional Junior Stammtisch. Newcomers as well as regular attendees are all welcome. This meeting is a perfect opportunity to end up the weekend with some good mood and good talks with fellow expats from all over the world !


We would like to welcome you to Sunny Bright Day Nursery, a HighScope Quality Assured setting which is situated in the large village of Sprotbrough, Doncaster. We provide care for children from 4... months until their 5th birthday in our friendly, cheerful, stimulating learning environment.
My name is Emma Wain and I live with my husband Chris, my two daughters Olivia and Sophie and my dog called Max. I am also a member of PACEY ensuring I am up to date with all issues regarding... childminding. As part of my data protection I am a member of the ICO to ensure families details and any photographs are stored safely and correctly. I have always wanted to work with children as they are so fun!
Here at Bright Beginnings Day Nursery and Pre-School, we know that choosing the correct child care, is one of the most important decisions that you will make for your children. That is why we wish to... be certain, that "Bright Beginnings" provides the right environment, for both you and your child.
Here our aim is to provide high quality care and education for all children, in an environment that offers an exceptional balance between LEARNING and PLAYTIME! We work hard to ensure that our... provision recognises and meets the diverse needs of each individual child and their family. To maximise the children's learning experiences, the nursery uses the "Development Matters in the Early Years Foundation Stage" (EYFS), to plan learning activities and experiences for each individual child.
As a family we are very outdoorsy and we love being out in the garden, no matter what the weather is like! Belle and Lily particularly love jumping in muddy puddles. We love days out to castles, den... building, camping and picnics. I was a primary school teacher for 15 years and thoroughly enjoyed watching children develop and progress over those years.
This website is here to assist both new prospective customers and existing customers in their children's Childcare arrangements within Dunsville, Hatfield and the surrounding areas. Feel free to... browse our site and find all the information that is available. We have a contact page where you can ask us a questions that you don't find the answer for, please feel free to use this service when ever you like. Or you can download our parent packs or individual policies in our downloads section.
At Misson Pre-School we believe every child should be helped and supported to become a competent learner from birth who can be resilient, capable, confident, and self-assured. Every child should be... encouraged to be strong and independent, form a base of loving and secure relationships with parents and carers. We understand that children learn in different ways and at different rates and all children's needs are individual and personal to them.
We feel that Coneygarth Farm Day Nursery really does provide a safe, exciting, and stimulating environment, where your children can develop naturally, learn and be cared for. As the nursery is on our... farm we feel we can offer children quite unique learning opportunities in such a natural and green environment. The children enjoy going out on farm walks, feeding the lambs, watching the cows, sheep and ponies, as well as collecting eggs from the resident hens.
Haxey Pre-School was established in 1975. The governing body Ofsted assesses and inspects the school to ensure we are reaching the required standards. A copy of our last inspection report is available... at www.ofsted.qov.uk/reports. We run a successful Key worker system whereby each child is allocated a trained staff member who observes, monitors and records the child's development; this in turn helps the child to settle into Pre- School quickly.

State and Federal Teamwork Quickly Restores Access to Sourdough Creek Campground and Boat Ramp After Spring Road Washout
GLENNALLEN, Alaska – A team of federal and state agencies helped the Bureau of Land Management's Glennallen Field Office restore access to the Sourdough Creek Campground and its popular boat ramp today after spring high waters made the road impassable.
The campground is located at Mile Post 147.5 of the Richardson Highway, and the Sourdough Creek runs along the site. The site's boat ramp provides access to an isolated section of the Gulkana River prized for its summer king salmon runs, among other uses.
"Everyone involved knows how important this access is," said Marnie Graham, the bureau's Glennallen Field Office Manager. "We are grateful for the community's patience while we worked to find a solution to quickly get people back on their public lands and waters. We are especially grateful to our state and federal partners who understood the urgency and importance of this project and were quick to step up and capably help out."
BLM staff worked closely with other public entities including the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and Alaska Department of Fish & Game to acquire necessary permits. Materials were sourced through an expedited and competitive local bidding process. Once gravel and rock were delivered, qualified heavy equipment operators from the Tetlin National Wildlife Refuge stepped up to work over the weekend.
The Sourdough Creek Campground bridge is slated for full replacement in 2022. Once next year's spring high waters subside, a temporary bridge will provide access to the campground and boat launch while construction work happens. Users should prepare for potential interrupted access during the full replacement project.

"...who has been defeated several times but never manages to stay dead."
Perhaps this is a reference to the many times he has been killed in the raid Zul'Gurub..
EDIT: The flavour text was changed.
One of the common tier items in Troll Archaeology.
Requires 35 Troll Archaeology Fragments.
'Atal'ai' means 'devoted ones' in Zandali, and this twisted group of trolls was devoted to the blood god, Hakkar: a being of extreme malevelonce who recently tasted defeat in Zul'Gurub, ancient capital of the Gurubashi empire. This scepter is decorated with a bat motif, possibly a connection to Hir'eek, the primal bat god.

It carries articles on any aspects of teaching and learning in psychology, particularly those with a strong theoretical underpinning.
What are the benefits of teaching as a postgraduate psychology student?


Depending on your definition of "soon" the answer could be either yes or no.
:3 for me, soon would be ten centuries from now. i hope it comes soon.
is the update coming out any time soon?
Soon and not soon. Please, read posts above in this thread for more detail.
Edited opening post to reflect recent progress on content and new UI.
Awesome, thanks for keeping us posted!
Was an increase in the zooming range in normal player vision planned for the upcoming update or the following?
Wow! Kudos to the devteam..starting to get really stoked here, & I'm certain I'm not alone.
Thanks for all your hard work-it is truly appreciated!!
The possible zoom factors of the worldmap have been enhanced, but for the normal in-game view, we still have only zoom x1, x1.5 and x2.
Do you wish for a x0.5 or a x4?
This is very exciting! I'm looking forward to the new content.
An increase to zooming out in normal in-game view, so x0.5 for bigger devices like 5.5 to 6.0+ inch phones or perhaps even ipads/tablets.


YannickVR.nl – Page 2 – Figuring out stuff one cup of coffee at a time..
By default, Windows comes only with a small set of Root CA's in the trusted Root CA store. These are enough to get you started, but as soon as you visit a website that uses HTTPS and the Root CA that has issued the certificate is not in your trusted Root CA list, the Root CA certificate is downloaded from Windows Update.
Generally, this is a good solution, as long as your clients can reach Windows Update to start with and they aren't non-persistent VDI clients.
Currently, we are noticing that Internet Explorer sometimes hangs for a few seconds and then continues. At the same time, an event is logged ( CAPI2 4097 ) telling you that the Root CA has been updated. Again, this works fine on persitent VDI's, laptops, desktops and servers. On a non-persistent VDI however, this process is repeated for every CA on every session for every user. Not so nice.
Currently, we are still testing what yields the best results. I've written the script below, which creates a directory on the C:\ disk, downloads all root CA's from Windows Update into this directory and then imports every .crt in the Root CA store, then removes the directory. I've imported this script into RES Workspace and is being run during logon. As it's run in the background there is no noticable delay in logon time, and after logon, about 380 CA's (we have some internal and private CA's added as well) are visible in the certificate manager.
You could consider adding this as a step in your SCCM task sequence or however you create your VDI image, so it's not performed during logon. However, this means that CA's that are added later will have to be downloaded on demand, and also CA's that are revoked or updated after you've made your image will have to be updated on demand as well.
certutil -addstore -f Root "$importfile"
Update: Oh yea! As you can see, i'm using Certutil to import the certificates. That's because my current customer is still running Windows 7. When you're on Windows 8/2012 and higher, you should ofcourse use the PS commandlet "Import-Certificate", together with the appropriate config ofcourse.
This is one that comes up anywhere, especially in VDI/RDS-type environments: Numlock.
In my experience there are no real good ways of controlling this without scripts, too many variables, as the final state of numlock depends on the state on the client computer, the VM and whatever settings are in the user profile.
The powershell script below first checks for the state of the numlock key: If ([console]::NumberLock -eq $False), and when False, proceeds to send the command to toggle it, turning it on.
Windows Driver Installation: Searching Windows Update..
By default, when you plug in a USB device, Windows will search Windows Update for the latest drivers. While this might be a fantastic solution for your home computer, it's useless in an organization, because usually Windows Update is blocked so it will sit for about 5 minutes searching, until it times out and uses the locally available driver or tell you that you need to go get some drivers yourself.
Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\System\Internet Communication Management\Internet Communication settings\Turn off Windows Update device driver searching.
Well.. wrong. This policy has been deprecated and will only work up to Vista. For some reason the new policy has had very little coverage on the web, so it took some time to find it.
Select the option "Do not search Windows Update" and you're gold.

Judiciary Committee advances resolution to fund Public Defender Board

BATON ROUGE – The Senate Judiciary B Committee advanced a resolution with bipartisan support to study improved ways to fund the Louisiana Public Defender Board.
Sen. Regina Barrow, D-Baton Rouge, brought the resolution to address the chronic funding issues facing the board.
The board also is facing drastic budget cuts due to the COVID-19 crisis.
"What I've decided to do is put together a board that can look at best practices across the country and look for a steadier funding stream so that we are able to help those individuals who find themselves in these situations," Barrow said.
Sen. Gary Smith, D-Norco, the chairman of the committee, voiced his support for the resolution.
He said that the vast majority of defendants that come before the criminal justice system seek assistance from public defender boards, and the defenders are "woefully, woefully underfunded."
Barrow noted that public defenders around the state are mostly funded by money from traffic tickets, which isn't "a good funding mechanism" because the levels fluctuate.
Sen. Mike Reese, R-DeRidder, also spoke in support of the resolution.
Referring to the defender offices in different parishes, he said, "There are some that seem to have sufficient user generated fees in their districts. There are some that don't have nearly sufficient user generated fees in their districts. There are some that have different caseloads per public defender than other districts have."
He added that this lack of consistency stemming from the funding problems "desperately needs to be addressed."
Dr. Tiffany Simpson of the Louisiana Public Defender Board said that about 200 attorneys across the state were affected by the court closures that resulted from the stay-at-home order. Some of those attorneys were furloughed, while other attorneys' contracts were reduced. Some attorneys were let go entirely.
An earlier bill appropriated $7.3 million to the Public Defender Board.
Simpson said that the board expects that funding to relieve some of the pressure from the pandemic.
"Just like the state in general doesn't really know what the long-term effects of COVID are going to be," Simpson said, it is next to impossible to predict how the temporary closure of the state will affect the board in the long run.
Referring to another funding method, she said, "We expect that we're going to continue to see reduced conviction user fees over time even as courts open back up."
She noted that some attorneys have been rehired with the recent reopening of courts but not everyone could be.
