Larry Cordaro began his career at LSUA about 5 years ago. He and the LSUA Generals men's basketball team have won a number of awards, including 5 Red River Athletic Conference Titles.
He got his start in basketball back in high school and had a brief college basketball career at Xavier University.
Cordaro left Xavier and transferred to LSU to pursue a degree in accounting and sport management, but quickly realized that his passions lied elsewhere. "…I realized that's not what I wanted to do for a career…I wanted to be around basketball and I got a lucky break here and there at LSU and went out to Texas Arlington; went to Southeastern Louisiana, where I came from, and here we are going into our 6th season here in the fort and you know I love being around the sport. I have a passion…I don't feel like I've got a job or a career…it's a passion of mine…" said Cordaro.
In 2016 he was named men's basketball coach of the year by the Louisiana Sports Writers Association. And he's won that title again this year.

More daunting than bringing Psycho's infamous killer to life in his youth for A&E's prequel Bates Motel, which debuted in 2013 and starred Freddie Highmore and Vera Farmiga, was the challenging task of painstakingly recreating one of the most iconic landmarks in film history. Co-creator Kerry Ehrin and production designer Mark Freeborn walk us through the creation of the Bates Motel and home.
With the show aiming to pay homage to Psycho director Alfred Hitchcock, Universal graciously provided the blueprints from the 1960 movie, which was filmed on the backlot. However, the Bates team discovered that the drawings for the infamous house on the hill were under scale, so they were forced to start over. They'd end up building two versions — an interior on a soundstage in Vancouver and an exterior shell of the house and motel 45 minutes southeast from downtown — both of which went through some major changes.
The exterior locale was built on a decommissioned landfill, which led to some interesting rainy days — of which there are many in Vancouver. "When the rains came, occasionally the first few minutes on set were aromatic," Freeborn says, noting that the motel itself sank roughly eight inches over the course of the five years they were filming there, forcing them to keep refilling the parking lot. In a bid to keep costs down, the house was initially built without its signature Victorian tower. "We couldn't afford it," Ehrin says with a laugh. "So we had to CGI the roof the first season." Even so, the Bates Motel felt so distinctly real that it caused many passersby to seek out vacancy. "The motel was pretty faithful in a lot of ways," Freeborn says. "It was surprising how many people believed it was a real motel. Even more surprising was the fact that the set was never vandalized, which Freeborn credits to their unofficial security guard: a cut-out of Hitchcock pinned to a window in the house. "When we weren't shooting, he was watching the place," Freeborn says.

Reality check: Clearing up misconceptions Canadians have about climate change
By Nicole Mortillaro
Thwaites Glacier, Antarctica.
File/NASA
A new study out of the University of Montreal has found that not all Canadians feel informed about climate change.
The survey of 1,014 Canadians found that only 27 per cent feel informed. Here, we take a look at some common misconceptions about climate change.
Antarctic vs. Arctic ice
From Kyoto to Paris: How the world's climate has changed in 18 years
Trudeau's Liberals to be eyed closely following climate change promises
Climate change: Why world leaders want to stop Earth from warming 2 C
In 2014, the sea ice around Antarctica reached a new record high. Many turn to this as an example of how climate change and global warming isn't occurring. However, this is not the entire picture.
In 2012, the Arctic sea ice extent was the lowest on record — 760,000 square kilometres below the previous record low which was in 2007.
The evidence shows that the Arctic is warming at twice the rate of the rest of the planet, warming more than any other place on Earth over the past 30 years by about 2 C.
And while the sea ice around Antarctica is growing, the fact is the ice sheet in parts of Antarctica is melting at an alarming rate. In particular West Antarctica is the biggest contributor with 134 gigatonnes lost between 2010 and 2013.
So while the sea ice may be on the rise — something that scientists are trying to better understand — Antarctica is indeed losing ice.

Earth hasn't warmed since 1997
The idea that the planet hasn't warmed over the past 20 years is something that is tossed around as evidence that climate change isn't occurring.
This is something that some call the "global pause."
But there hasn't been a pause. 2014 was the warmest year on record for the planet, and 2015 is on tap to beat that record, with all months of 2015 (to date) being among the 25 highest temperature departures from average.
A recent study published in Nature, which examined scientific literature on the "hiatus," concluded that there hasn't been a global pause. Not only is there no conclusive evidence to say that there was a long-term "hiatus" in warming, but that scientific evidence illustrated observable warming trends.
Global Land and Sea Temperature Anomalies | WeatherDB
Oceans aren't warming or rising
According to the World Meteorological Organization and the European Environment Agency our ocean temperature has risen by about one degree Celsius over the past 140 years. That's because they have been absorbing more than 90 per cent of the energy from human emissions.
There are regions, however, that are seeing cooling, such as the North Atlantic.
When it comes to ocean levels satellite data has shown that the oceans are rising by about 3 mm a year.
Global Mean Sea Level (1993 - Present) | WeatherDB
Part of natural cycle
Of course our planet has natural cycles. Scientists gather evidence of this by drilling into ice cores and examining tree rings.
What they have concluded is that, though the Earth goes through natural warming and cooling, they occur slowly over time. The warming planet, and consequently changing climate, have occurred too rapidly to account for natural variation, according to NASA.
Our sun goes through an 11-year solar minimum and maximum and may even go through longer cycles. Scientific evidence has found that once again it's not enough to account for the rapid warming. When the sun is at its peak temperatures both the lower and upper atmosphere warm. However, this isn't what data is showing: Earth's surface and lower atmosphere have warmed, but not the upper atmosphere.
We can't do anything about it anyway
The Paris climate talks are about trying to reduce greenhouse gases and keep the planet from warming by 2 C by the end of the century.
While the planet will continue to warm over the next 50 years or so, by reducing greenhouse gases now — closing coal plants, investing in renewable energy, driving cleaner cars — we can keep the earth from warming even more.

Language issues overshadow talks between Doug Ford and François Legault
By Alastair Sharp in News, Politics | November 19th 2018

A meeting about expanding trade between Canada's two most populous provinces appeared to be overshadowed by language issues on Monday, with the premiers at odds over support for the French language in Ontario.
Quebec Premier François Legault left the meeting in Toronto telling reporters that he still saw economic opportunities between the two central Canadian provinces, but that he wasn't satisfied with Ontario Premier Doug Ford's recent explanations about cuts to French-language services.
The meeting was the first face-to-face chat between the two premiers, both former businessmen who led their right-leaning parties to power following elections in 2018.
The discussion came a few days after Ford's government, elected in June, announced in an economic update that it would be canceling plans for a francophone university in Ontario and pushing the position of a commissioner mandated to ensure government services are available in French, as per federal law, into a general ombudsman's office.
The issue has provoked harsh criticism from the predominantly French-speaking province of Quebec, as well as from minority francophone communities in Ontario and the rest of the country. About 600,000 francophones live in Ontario, which has a population of over 14 million.

Ford says 'province couldn't please everybody'
Over the weekend, French-language media outlet #ONfr and the English-language daily, the Ottawa Citizen, reported that Ford was fielding phone calls from Franco-Ontarians and defending his government's decisions, by saying that there wasn't enough money to deliver the services being cut.
"I made it clear to Mr. Ford that I didn't like that francophones were being compared to Chinese or other cultures," Quebec Premier François Legault said, following a meeting with the Ontario premier #cdnpoli #OfficialLanguages #onpoli #qcpoli
Ford told them in the calls that there were also about 600,000 Chinese Ontarians and 600,000 Italian Ontarians, but that the "province couldn't please everybody," the Citizen reported on Nov. 17.
Those comments drew a rebuke from Legault, who said governments have a duty to provide services such as education and healthcare in both of Canada's official languages.
"I made it clear to Mr. Ford that I didn't like that francophones were being compared to Chinese or other cultures," he said. "I told him that we are one of the two founding peoples of Canada, so we have to expect services to be delivered."

Legault, a former airline executive who ended almost 50 years of Liberal and Parti Québécois dominance in Quebec when the head of the right-leaning Coalition Avenir was sworn in last month, said he asked Ford to reconsider his position, but that the Ontario premier disagreed.
"I don't think it sends a good message to francophones, but it is not my decision," he told reporters after the meeting, adding that he expects the federal government to help ensure the French language is protected.
Legault pointed out that while Ontario does not currently have a French-language university, Quebec has three English-languages ones and a major hospital in Montreal dedicated to serving anglophones.
He added that the two leaders also discussed a plan to increase the value of trade between the provinces to $50 billion a year in each directly, from around $40 billion currently, as a way to reduce their dependence on a "very protectionist United States."
Legault cited the aeronautical industry as one example of where Ontario could reduce U.S. imports and instead choose to import more from Quebec.
He said he offered to sell hydroelectricity to Ontario at less than it would cost to refurbish an aging nuclear power plant and, given Ford's focus on creating jobs, noted that any plan to build new dams in Quebec would include jobs for some Ontario workers.
Before the meeting Ford said he expected the two to have "great conversations" because they both understand how to run a business and both want to protect their provinces' dairy farmers following the new trade deal between the United States, Canada and Mexico.
The two premiers also exchanged hockey gifts with Ford taking a Montreal Canadiens jersey from Legault, who accepted Toronto Maple Leafs jersey, while lightheartedly reminding the Ontario premier that the Quebec team had the most Stanley Cup championships.
Legault also joked about the Toronto Maple Leafs hockey team finally having a roster able to compete with the Montreal Canadiens.

Ford also said he would like to improve interprovincial trade and work together to deal with illegal border crossings.
"We invite everyone to our country, but again, they have to stay in the line. The federal government owes our province $200 million. We can't handle the infrastructure needed, the housing, so hopefully we can find common ground on that because Quebec and Ontario are bearing the brunt of that," he said during a brief photo opportunity inside his Queen's Park office.
Speaking to reporters after the meeting, Ford said that he had noted during the discussion that Legault had inherited a $1 billion surplus, while the Progressive Conservative government in Ontario had inherited a $15 billion structural deficit. Ford also said that Ontario was scaling back expansion plans for three English-language universities.
The Ford government also released a statement that said the two provincial leaders agreed that the federal government should compensate for the cost of dealing with illegal crossings by migrants.

Mulroney cites economies of Scale
Caroline Mulroney, the attorney general and minister for francophone affairs, told reporters that the move to incorporate the francophone commissioner into the ombudsman's office does not limit the importance of the role but would create efficiencies.
"We are not canceling it, we are integrating it into the ombudsman's office in its entirety," she said, declining to say how much money would be saved by the move.
"There will be economies of scale from just backroom, administrative work. That's what we were elected to do," she said, adding that there would be "obvious savings" after ballooning budgets in the past.

John Fraser, the interim leader of the Ontario Liberal party who fell out of power and lost official party status in the June election, disagreed with the idea of prior largesse and questioned the Ford government's motives.
"If there is a savings that's there, the savings that they're realizing is not commensurate with the damage they are doing," he said, in reference to curtailing the francophone commissioner as well as commissioners for vulnerable children and the environment.
"There's no question in my mind, this is about silencing critics, about avoiding transparency," he said.
Mulroney meanwhile sought to downplay the resolution passed at the party's weekend policy conference to consider whether gender identity should be recognized, saying it would not be considered until next year and "has nothing to do with today's government policy."
Asked if it is legitimate to debate the existence of gender identity, Mulroney said that "at a convention every member has a right to have their voice heard" and that the government wanted to talk about "a safe and supportive classroom for every student."
Mike Schreiner, the leader of the Green Party of Ontario, said he hoped Ontario would accept the deal for more low-cost hydroelectric power rather than spending to upgrade a nuclear power plant, and slammed the lack of Conservative opposition to the conference proposal, brought by former leadership contender Tanya Granic Allen.
"Trans rights are human rights. It is dangerous and irresponsible for any party, especially one with a majority government, to pass a resolution endorsing discrimination against anyone and telling people how to identify themselves," he said.

Fungo bats have been around since the beginning of baseball and as most of us may know, baseball was said to be invented by Abner Doubleday in Cooperstown, New York during the summer of 1839. Since fungo bats were much easier to swing and gave off a ton of pop, they were almost seen as cheating back in the day. In a book from 1897 named "The Technical Terms of Baseball," the sportswriter Henry Chadwick stated,"The weakest batting is shown when the batsman indulges in fungo hitting." It wasn't until baseball bat regulations came around that fungo bats were only used by coaches and parents.
To figure out who shoots first, players usually throw or roll a baseball to a certain object (usually at close range) and whoever is closest shoots first. The first person then gets to choose the first hole and tees off. To tee off (and for most shots) players hit the ball like they were playing baseball, but depending on the distance from the hole the player may choose to 'putt' the ball instead of hitting it. To putt the ball, the player places the ball on the cup (the end of the fungo bat), and can toss the ball from the cup in hopes of getting a more accurate shot.[1] In shooting or putting, the player must have one foot where the ball landed during the entire duration of their swing or putt, failure to keep the foot planted results in a loss of a stroke. Scorekeeping is identical to traditional golf; the player with the fewest strokes essentially wins the hole.[2] Players traditionally play nine or eighteen holes of fungo golf, and at the end the person with the fewest strokes in the set number of holes wins the game.[3]

An aquarium is like a living, moving work of art. At least that's how Infinity Aquarium Design of Los Angeles approaches every installation. Our aquariums are more than just "fish tanks," they are a part of the décor of your living or work space. We design them to reflect their surroundings – and your personality – to make your aquarium the centerpiece of your room.
We specialize in creating unique, custom aquarium designs and aquascapes that blend seamlessly into your new or existing living space including hobbyist aquariums for your home and beautiful commercial aquarium displays for your restaurant, hotel, office, and any other business.
The science of "aquariology," i.e., the study of animals in controlled aquatic systems, needs to be advanced, and about a program instituted in which research, education, and conservation goals are integrated.
It is about taking all of the components of the aquarium into consideration – size, lighting conditions, density of floating and rooted plants, placement of bog-wood, creation of caves or overhangs, type of substrate, and other factors, including an aquarium's positioning within a room, can all affect the behavior and survival of tank inhabitants.
One critical aquariology concept is the volume flow rate. The Volume flow rate Q of a fluid is defined to be the volume of fluid that is passing through a given cross sectional area per unit time.
We calculate volume flow rate carefully to ensure your aquarium stays cleaner longer, providing a healthier environment for your inhabitants.
We believe that preservation begins with education. Understanding the importance of our world's oceans and coral reefs and how our decisions as both hobbyists and professionals can have a direct and lasting effect on aquatic animals and their natural environment are the first steps in recognizing our tremendous responsibility as aquarium enthusiasts.
As leaders in the industry, we must scrutinize our suppliers and vendors thoroughly and offer support to organizations that monitor and care for the natural reefs from which all livestock is obtained. By acknowledging and adhering to the advice and practices of many marine preservation groups, we have developed a business model that offers our clients access to the most exotic species available in the aquarium trade while promoting public awareness and ocean conservation.
"Working as a professional in the aquarium trade has given me an outlet to be creative every day of my life. My profound respect for the ocean is at the forefront of the products and environments that we create and I enjoy sharing my expertise and educating newcomers to this rewarding hobby.
"Anytime you take an animal out of its natural environment, it is your responsibility to your best to keep it healthy and alive. Our priority as a company is to provide the best environment possible to the aquatic life available in our industry.
Through the use of creativity and technology, our aquariums will transcend the limits of interior design.

Food Foundation welcomes significant step in support of #endchildfoodpoverty after Government announcement
  
Following a major public campaign, the Government has announced a significant funding package to help alleviate child food poverty. The #endchildfoodpoverty campaign led by Marcus Rashford MBE shows the importance of listening to children and vulnerable families who have shared their experiences of food poverty, to increase awareness and inform Government policy.
Marcus Rashford, MBE, England International Football player said:
"Following the game today, I had a good conversation with the Prime Minister to better understand the proposed plan, and I very much welcome the steps that have been taken to combat child food poverty in the UK. There is still so much more to do, and my immediate concern is the approximate 1.7 million children who miss out on Free School Meals, holiday provision and Healthy Start vouchers because their family income isn't quite low enough, but the intent the Government have shown today is nothing but positive and they should be recognised for that. The steps made today will improve the lives of near 1.7 million children in the UK over the next 12 months, and that can only be celebrated. I want to take this moment to reflect on what has occurred over the last couple of weeks. I am so proud of 'us' as a collective. 'Us' being the local businesses, charity workers, volunteers, teachers, social workers, carers, and key workers. Together we have demonstrated the power of kindness and compassion. We have shown that when it comes down to the wire, we will always have each other. Seeing the role everyone has played in supporting our most vulnerable children has been the greatest moment of my life. I have been overwhelmed by the outpouring of empathy and understanding. I am fully committed to this cause, and I will fight for the rest of my life for it, because in my mind, no child should ever go hungry in the United Kingdom. I don't want any child to go through what I went through, and any parent to experience what my mother experienced. I now call on the Government to collaborate with the Child Food Poverty Taskforce to guarantee that no child does. As a collective we are so powerful and we all have a role to play in this, whether it be volunteering, donating, or as simple as a kind word. Today, I'm overwhelmed with pride that we have made such significant progress. 'We' will not give up on our children. 'We' will not give up on the future of this country. I'm going to bed thankful tonight but under no illusion that there is still a lot more work to be done."
Anna Taylor, Executive Director said:
"This is a big win for disadvantaged children. A win for all those brave parents and children who have spoken up about their experiences of food poverty. And a win for the 1.1 million individuals across the country who showed how much they cared by signing Marcus Rashford's petition.
Today's announcement shows the government is serious about tackling children's food poverty - funding programmes worth more than £400m that will improve the lives of more than 1.7million children over the next 12 months. Together this represents significant progress on 2 of the 3 calls in Marcus Rashford's petition and the National Food Strategy Part 1.
But we must keep in mind that a similar number of disadvantaged children (approx. 1.7 million) will continue to miss out on the benefits of free school meals and healthy start because the qualifying income criteria are currently set far too low. Children's food poverty, like the pandemic, will not go away until we have a lasting solution in place. We've started the journey today, thanks to the Government's commitment, and we need to see it through so we can #ENDchildfoodpoverty."
Dame Emma Thompson, Children's Right2Food Ambassador said:
"This is a big step in the right direction.  Huge credit should go to all those who have talked openly about their experiences of food poverty, including the young food ambassadors who have bravely told their stories.  The campaign to ensure children's right to food must continue until we #endchildfoodpoverty."
Dev Sharma, 15, Young Food Ambassador from Leicester said:
For so many families, this will be an essential lifeline to put food on the table, and it means so much to me too. I am so glad that the Government has shown it is listening to young people and wants to help those of us affected by food poverty. My fellow young food ambassadors and I have been calling for these changes for some time, and now we know our efforts were worth every second. It is vital that our voices are heard, and that young people are at the centre of these decisions. The announcement today will make such a huge difference to so many children's lives, including mine and my friends, and has encouraged us to continue with our campaign for change.
What's in today's announcement?
Progress against the 3 asks in the National Food Strategy and Marcus Rashford's petition:
1. Expand free school meals to all under-16s where a parent or guardian is in receipt of Universal Credit or equivalent benefit (estimated cost £670 million; 1.5 million additional children expected to benefit). Currently you can only receive free school meals if your family's income is <£7400 per year after tax and before benefits.
NO PROGRESS YET
2. Provide meals & activities during all holidays (estimated to cost £500million per year) for children on free school meals.
FOR CHRISTMAS TO EASTER: WELFARE ASSITANCE GRANTS FOR LOCAL AUTHORITIES TO GIVE OUT TO NEEDY HOUSEHOLDS FOR FOOD AND BILLS FROM DEC 1 UNTIL END MARCH – COVERING THE CHRISTMAS HOLIDAYS - £170M; £16M FOR FOOD DISTRIBUTION CHARITIES FOR CHRISTMAS.
EASTER ONWARDS: £220M ON HOLIDAYS ACTIVITIES AND FOOD PROGRAMME FOR EASTER, SUMMER AND CHRISTMAS HOLIDAYS IN 2021 FOR ALL LOCAL AUTHORITIES IN ENGLAND.
THESE PROGRAMMES SHOULD REACH ALL CHILDREN ON FREE SCHOOL MEALS AND THE WELFARE ASSISTANCE GRANTS WILL GO BEYOND. CURRENT GOVERNMENT FIGURES ARE THAT 1.4 MILLION CHILDREN ARE ON FREE SCHOOL MEALS BUT THIS NUMBER IS EXPECTED TO HAVE RISEN SIGNIFICANTLY SINCE THE START OF THE PANDEMIC.
3. Increase the value of Healthy Start vouchers to at least £4.25 per week, and expand the scheme to reach more children.
COMMITMENT TODAY TO INCREASE THE VALUE OF THE VOUCHER TO £4.25 FROM £3.10; NO COMMITMENT YET TO EXPAND THE SCHEME TO MORE CHILDREN. CURRENTLY ABOUT 500,000 PREGNANT WOMEN AND CHILDREN UNDER 4 IN ENGLAND ARE ELIGIBLE FOR THE SCHEME.

Texas to urge Multiple New Fabs as Samsung and TI to pay $47 Billion on New Facilities
After a year of checking out the proper place of its new U.S. fab, Samsung on proclaimed that it might build a pleasing close to Taylor, Texas. the corporate can invest $17 billion within the new semiconductor fabrication plant and can receive many numerous greenbacks in incentives from native and state authorities. Separately, Texas authorities have proclaimed that Texas Instruments will pay $30 billion on new fabs within the state, as well.
Samsung to pay $17 Billion on New Texas pleasing
Samsung nevertheless must disclose all the small print regarding its pleasing close to Taylor, Texas, except for currently the corporate says that the new pleasing web site can occupy a part of over five million sq. meters and can use two,000 staff directly and another seven,000 indirectly. to place the quantity into context, Samsung's pleasing close to state capital, Texas presently employs regarding ten,000 of staff.
Samsung can begin construction of the new pleasing within the half of 2022 and expects it to be operational within the last half of 2024. it always takes a few year to construct a building for a semiconductor producing facility then a few year to put in and started all the required instrumentality.
Samsung has not proclaimed that method technologies are used at its pleasing close to Taylor, Texas, however says it'll manufacture chips for 5G, computing (AI), superior computing (HPC), and mobile applications, which means that the pleasing can gain fairly advanced technologies. In fact, keeping in mind that every one of Samsung's nodes agent than seven nm consider extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography, it's affordable to expect the new pleasing to be EUV capable. As a result, Samsung's customers from the U.S. (such as IBM, Nvidia, and Qualcomm) are able to manufacture their chips within the U.S. instead of in Asian country, which could permit their developers to handle systems employed by the U.S. government.
"With larger producing capability, we are going to be able to higher serve the wants of our customers and contribute to the steadiness of the worldwide semiconductor provide chain," aforesaid Kinam Kim, chairman and CEO, Samsung physical science Device Solutions Division. "In addition to our partners in Texas, we tend to area unit grateful to the Biden Administration for making AN setting that supports firms like Samsung as we tend to work to expand leading-edge semiconductor producing within the U.S. we tend to conjointly convey the administration and Congress for his or her nonpartisan support to fleetly enact federal incentives for domestic chip production and innovation."
Samsung's new semiconductor production plant are situated twenty five kilometers far from the company's pleasing close to state capital, Texas, that the facilities are able to share infrastructure and resources (such as materials and supplies).
Samsung says that it'll pay regarding $6 billion on construction on the building in addition as enhancements of the native infrastructure. Tools {that can|which will|that may} be employed by the pleasing will value another $11 billion. Meanwhile, to create the new plant Samsung can receive many millions in incentives from the state, the county, and therefore the town, per media reports. a number of the packages haven't been approved nevertheless.

UT Researchers Might Solve the Mysteries of the Universe With the Most Powerful Telescope Ever
By Abigail Rosenthal in 40 Acres, May | June 2022 on May 1, 2022 at 7:00 am | 1 Comment
The James Webb Space Telescope at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, 2017.
There's never been a way to clearly see the past here on Earth. Archeologists can uncover fossils and artifacts, geologists can analyze rock, and anyone can crack open a history book or look at an old painting. But none of these things show exactly what something looked like at that time.
That's not the case when it comes to the work of Caitlin M. Casey, an associate professor in UT's Department of Astronomy who looks into the past every day as an observational astronomer.
Casey is one of the leaders of a team of scientists across the world who will use the recently launched James Webb Space Telescope-—the most powerful space telescope ever built—to uncover secrets of our universe's beginnings billions of years ago.
"When the first galaxies and stars turned on for the first time, there was a lot of mystery in the very first stages of the universe," Casey says. "We're basically trying to write the history books, going all the way back to the Big Bang."
The findings from the James Webb Space Telescope—which Casey calls "the ultimate tool that astronomers have been waiting for, for decades"—are expected to be groundbreaking. From its point of view in orbit more than a million miles from Earth, the telescope will be able to capture images of space that are deeper, richer, and more informational than images from any telescope before it, including the Hubble.
Casey would know. She works with all kinds of telescopes across the world to decipher their images, gleaning information from what looks to others like a mosaic of dots, swirls, and pops of lights.
Now, her team has been granted a full nine days with the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) for their project, COSMOS-Webb. It's similar to the Hubble Deep Field project that captured images of the sky over 10 straight days in 1995, but COSMOS-Webb is even bigger and more ambitious.
"The Hubble Deep Field was roughly covering a patch of sky that is so small, it could be behind the head of a pin if you're holding that pin at arm's length away from you," Casey says. "We're covering an area equivalent to three full moons. That's a sizeable chunk of the sky. We expect to find something like a million galaxies in the COSMOS-Webb image."
With the nine days' worth of images, Casey and her team will analyze the smudges of light in the background, not the big, beautiful galaxies that will be clearly visible in the JWST images. To us, those smudges may be more akin to dust on a screen, but to Casey, they are quite literally pictures of the past taken in real time, the galaxies that may or may not exist anymore still visible due to their light that has taken so long to travel to us. It also represents a full-circle moment for her—Casey was inspired to become an astronomer after seeing the Hubble Deep Field images as a child.
"I remember seeing these images and just being totally awestruck by how deep they were and how far they went, showing us objects that are further away than anything humans have ever seen," Casey says. "I was just hooked. I got as many books as I could get my hands on and tried to learn as much as possible."
Arianespace's Ariane 5 rocket with NASA's James Webb Space Telescope onboard at the Guiana Space Center in Kourou, French Guiana, on Dec. 23, 2021.
Casey and her team's time with the telescope won't be until December 2022 or April 2023, when the telescope is in the position to get the images they need. But this is just the first cycle of research involving JWST. The telescope is expected to function for at least 10 years, which means we aren't far from learning answers to some of the biggest questions on Earth: How did we get here? Are we alone?
"Even if [the telescope] were to last for [only] 10 years, we will be blown out of the water by the data that we get," Casey says. "JWST will just revolutionize astronomy in many, many ways. And I think the entire community, and hopefully the world, is as excited about it as I am."

Take a Look Inside a Visual Record of 19th-Century Texas


The Aga cooker was invented about a century ago in 1922 by the Nobel Prize–winning Swedish physicist Gustaf Dalén – the founder of "The Aga Saga". The principle on which it works is that an oven made of cast iron absorbs heat from a low intensity, constantly burning source, which can be used for cooking and heating.
If you have an old Aga it is unlikely it dates back to the 1920s, but there are still some around in the UK that have been going strong for about 50 years!
So, if you are lucky enough to have an Aga in your kitchen, how do you know what model it is for the purposes of having an Aga expert repair and maintain it?
Spare parts can be a problem when it comes to repairing older Agas, but the Capital Repairs Aga team can usually fix any issue. It helps, when you call us out to repair your Aga across London, Middlesex or the Home Counties, if you can tell us which Aga range cooker model you have.
If you're not sure, a telephone consultation will probably point our professional Aga engineers in the right direction.
This vintage of Aga cookers usually burn oil, gas or solid fuel. Previous to the 1950s the Aga was produced only in one colour – cream. In 1956 new Aga de luxe models were made in pale blue, pale green, grey and white. In 1957 the new models had chrome-plated lid domes.
The best way to identify this era of Agas is to check whether it has a low shelf across the back of the hob, and a towel rail resting on the brackets.
Your old Aga will probably also have a hob in one piece spanning the full width of the cooker. There will be 3 doors of the same size on the 2-oven version and 5 doors on the 4-oven model.
A good identifying mark is the badge, which will have the AGA written in italic script, usually on a red background.
Not sure whether your Aga is pre-1974 – give Capital Repairs a call!
The standard Deluxe Aga range cooker produced after 1974 will still have a small upstand across the rear top edge at the back of the hob, and later versions might have a louvered box section behind the hob too.
These Agas run on oil, gas or solid fuel and come in two or four oven versions. Badges have become optional bolt ons.
The colour range has increased to include shades like pewter, claret, pink, racing green and a range of blues. Lid tops are always chrome.
Electric Agas were introduced in 1985. Electric Agas had all the traditional features, but no flue was required because the ovens vented through a small pipe to the outside.
There are currently two types of Electric Agas – Heat Storage Agas and the 13 Amp Aga, which works like an electric kettle.
The heat storage Agas have a single heat source which acts like a burner with independent control of the ovens and hotplate. The 13 amp Aga has an electric element that continually tops up the heat when needed throughout the day, much in the way the oil or gas Aga cooker works.
Still not sure which Aga you have? Contact Capital Repairs and we'll be happy to advise you, or request a call out and our experts will have a look!

Fictional Fathers
Today's Top 5 Wednesday topic is Fictional Fathers. I'm going to share some fathers from books I've read recently. These fathers may or may not be upstanding members of the group, but they are at least noteworthy. Honestly, though, fathers are frequently absent from fiction. Especially from Young Adult fiction. It's only recently come back into vogue to have parents present at all in YA books, and absent fathers are so commonplace in real life, that it is easy to leave them out in fiction as well. That's one reason why these fathers are notable.
The Truth Project by Dante Medema - This book really tackles the definition of father. Cordelia does a genealogy project for her senior capstone project and finds out that her dad isn't her biological father. This guy is notable because he already knew, but he didn't want his wife to know he knew. He was happy to just let her think he was clueless about his middle child's parentage to keep his family intact. He didn't want her to think they needed to fight or cause a disruption. He treated Cordelia the same as his other children and moved on.
One for the Money by Janet Evanovich - Stephanie Plum's dad isn't going to win any father of the year awards, but he is hilarious. His mother-in-law moved in with them when her husband died and she is a lunatic. She is enjoying her old age and he is forced to put up with her antics. Mostly he responds in the form of unintelligible grunts of fits of apoplexy when she does or says something truly bizarre.
Twilight by Stephenie Meyer - Bella's dad did not know what he was in for. I mean, he knew it was going to be difficult when his teenaged daughter decided to come live with him full time. He didn't really have much of a relationship with her, but he sure wanted to. Then she gets mixed up with the creepy family in town. Weird stuff starts happening to her. He has no idea what to do, but her sure tries.
Felix Ever After by Kacen Callender - Felix's dad is a truly minor character in this book. His mom is gone, and it's just him and dad. Also he's trans, and his dad is struggling. He gets props for helping Felix get his gender reassignment surgery, so there's that, but he also dead-names him all the time. This makes Felix unhappy and unaccepted. So, it's kind of a yay and a nay. It also seems backwards. If you can't accept your kid's new name, how are you going to pay for gender reassignment surgery?
Not So Pure and Simple by Lamar Giles - Again, the father in this book takes a smaller role in the story, but he is present which is a bonus. Throughout the book, it's clear that this father has coached his son, the main character, in how to "be a man" and "get the girl." It's basically solid instruction in toxic masculinity. At the end of the book, he sits the kid down and tells him he was wrong. The wife and daughter had had an intervention with him and set him straight, and he was sharing with his son how he had led him astray. So he started out with issues and got turned around later.
There you have 5 fathers I've read about lately that I could share. Mostly they are from YA novels, but that's what I'm mostly reading lately, so... It is what it is. Who are your favorite fictional fathers?
