Science Systems Engineering for JWST � Why are we building it like this?
Dr. John C. Mather, JWST Senior Project Scientist, Code 660
Tuesday, October 9, 2012,1:00 p.m.
Dr. John C. Mather is a Senior Astrophysicist at NASA�s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, where he specializes in infrared astronomy and cosmology. He received his Bachelor�s degree in physics at Swarthmore College and his PhD in physics at the University of California at Berkeley.
As an NRC postdoctoral fellow at the Goddard Institute for Space Studies (New York City), he led the proposal efforts for the Cosmic Background Explorer (74-76), and came to GSFC to be the Study Scientist (76-88), Project Scientist (88-98), and the Principal Investigator for the Far IR Absolute Spectrophotometer (FIRAS) on COBE. He and his team showed that the cosmic microwave background radiation has a blackbody spectrum within 50 parts per million, confirming the Big Bang theory to extraordinary accuracy. The COBE team also discovered the cosmic anisotropy (hot and cold spots in the background radiation), now believed to be the primordial seeds that led to the structure of the universe today. It was these findings that led to Dr. Mather receiving the Nobel Prize in 2006.
Dr. Mather now serves as Senior Project Scientist (95-present) for the James Webb Space Telescope, the successor to the great Hubble Space Telescope.
Dr. John C. Mather will review the major scientific objectives for JWST, and how they drove the mission concept and detailed design trades. Key technical requirements include aperture, wavelength range, and sensitivity, which imply choices about orbit, cooling technology, deployment, and hardware technologies, with implications for possible servicing, launch vehicle, communications, orbit control, etc. Lessons learned from other missions, especially the Hubble Space Telescope, include the need and ability for on-orbit focusing and wavefront adjustment, and robust test programs to minimize risks when servicing is impossible. He will describe the scientific requirements, how they were chosen, and how they are still valid after 16 years of study, despite rapid scientific progress and especially the discovery of thousands exoplanets, and the cosmic dark energy. Dr. Mather will close with some speculation on possible discoveries that the JWST might enable.

NEWS: 4 International Teas to Watch in U.S. Beverage Market
posted Sunday Aug 05, 2018 05:45 PM
The genie is out of the (ready-to-drink) bottle when it comes to a growing number of U.S. consumers willing to try beverages from all over the world. A slowdown in immigration might reduce the speed with which the trend takes place, but in the long run, the U.S. will remain a nation of immigrants and a fertile ground for cross-cultural beverage developments. The beverage segment most on trend for multicultural inspiration is tea, according to market research firm Packaged Facts in the report U.S. Beverage Market Outlook 2018.
"Teas are a beverage category in which the appeal of foreign ingredients plays a role," says David Sprinkle, research director for Packaged Facts. "U.S. tea consumers are currently enjoying the varieties, such as matcha, moringa, and sencha, that have long been staples of Japanese and other Asian cultures. In the U.S. these are marketed as individual types and also used as components in tea beverages that have additionally flavored with fruits and spices. Each of these teas also are favored for their widely recognized health benefits, which is attractive to today's consumers who are trending away from surgery soft drinks and juices."
Here are Packaged Facts' four international tea trends to watch in the coming years that will help drive growth in the U.S. tea market from $8 billion in 2017 to $10 billion by 2022:
Matcha Tea – Popular in China and Japan, matcha is a highly nutritional form of green tea with high concentrations of potassium, magnesium, vitamins A and C, and fiber as well as high levels of L-theanine, a valuable amino acid that is said to have a calming effect on consumers it and substantial amounts of caffeine. It offers health benefits in terms of strengthening the immune system as well as providing an energy boost. Matcha has entered the mainstream as can be seen by the 2017 introduction by Unilever of its first-ever home-brewed matcha teas to its Pure Leaf line of hot and iced tea products.
Moringa Tea - Following along the same path as matcha except with origins rooted in India is moringa, a tea made from the leaves of the moringa oleifera tree that is rich in antioxidants. Benefits attributed to moringa include increased energy and rapid recovery after exercise, mental and emotional balance, and healthy blood sugar levels. Ready-to-drink moringa teas are few and far between, but there are many companies offering moringa teas for brewing. Among them is Terrasoul Superfoods, which has as its goal making nutrient-dense foods more affordable and accessible to consumers.
Sencha Tea - Sencha is a variety of green tea that is still relatively new to the U.S. market although it is considered the most popular tea in Japan where it originates. Sencha, reported to contain more antioxidants than matcha, is available in leaf and powder form, as loose tea and in tea bags. At present, many of the brands sold in the U.S. are imports from Japan, but there are U.S. companies that offer Sencha, as well.
Mizudashi (Cold Pressed Tea Process) - The adoption of the cold-brewed process in the ready-to-drink (RTD) coffee category has begun spreading to the tea category. As with coffee, the cold brewing process results in a beverage that is reported to be smoother and less bitter and is further said to better preserve the health benefits of the tea than preparing it through a hot brewing method. The Japanese tea marketer ITO EN in 2017 launched a lineup of ice-steeped cold brew ready-to-drink teas in the U.S. The company reportedly uses an authentic Japanese cold brew process called Mizudashi.
Covered by this comprehensive new report are:
Bottled and Enhanced Waters
Coffee & Ready-To-Drink Coffee
Tea & Ready-To-Drink Tea
Dairy Beverages & Non-Dairy Milk Alternatives

What is an A-zyme peel?
"What is an A-zyme peel"?
Our A-zyme peel is a 1% retional (vitamin A) peel that has an added exfoliating ingredient, Brolimine (an enzyme derived from pineapples) to help brighten the surface of the skin. The A-zyme peel is the strongest peel we have and gets the best results for a huge arrange of skin conditions and concerns.
So why do you need Vitamin A in your skin? Vitamin A has a small molecular structure meaning its able to get to the lower layers of the skin to work from the inside out. It is an extremely effective cell-communicating ingredient which means it can connect to almost any skin cell and tell it to behave like a younger, healthy functioning cell. It works by promoting skin cells to regenerate at a faster level bringing through fresh young skin cells and getting rid of old damaged ones, for this reason it has the ability to reduce the years of aging!
With all this cell turnover it is now producing a lot more hylauranic acid, (our skins own natural hydration) giving the skin a fresh glow. One of its most powerful qualities is its ability at normalising and regulating oil production (amazing for acne or breakout prone skin with in-house treatments and home care use). The anti-aging effects of Retionl on the skin have been broadly acknowledged and widely documented. Clinically Vitamin A has been shown to promote the deposition of new collagen and prevent its degeneration (reduces fine lines and wrinkles). In addition it reduces pigmentation and sun damage as it acts like a "jack-hammer" breaking up the damaged melanin cells in the deeper layers of your skin, bringing them to the surface where they can be exfoliated off! As your oil flow slows down and you are producing more collagen, your pore size will slowly start to refine and shrink in size making them less visible to the naked eye.
Why is our A-zyme peel perfect for you? If you can imagine a technologically advanced peel that provides real visible results without discomfort, minimal to no redness making it a great "lunch time" peel allowing you to go about your day with no signs of had having a peel. Three days after your peel you might experience some "shedding" or light flaking of the skin, however using the ultraceuticals post peel products is compulsory to reduce this downtime and ensure best results. If you are looking for best results, I personally recommend this as your go to peel.

There is no doubt that nuclear energy is tempting and also produces lots of benefits (as the government is in charge of waste).
Of course you could also opt for an environmentally friendly alternative that does not require inputs. But you can cater to all your customers with the energy supplied by such plants?
You must also closely monitor the competition to see what kind of plants they build, which cities included in their electrical networks depend on what resources and how much interest shown by the newest plants.

President Trump Donald John TrumpForget the spin: Five unrefuted Mueller Report revelations Lara Trump: Merkel admitting migrants 'one of the worst things that ever happened to Germany' Financial satisfaction hits record high: survey MORE spurred confusion and consternation among lawmakers and foreign allies on Tuesday when he announced that the U.S. would be "stopping war games" on the Korean peninsula amid ongoing discussions with North Korea about denuclearization.
The pledge on the exercises, which the U.S. conducts alongside South Korea, appeared to catch officials off guard at home and abroad, and contributed to criticism from some lawmakers that the president conceded too much to North Korean leader Kim Jong Un without securing anything substantial in return.
Vice President Pence was dispatched to Capitol Hill on Tuesday afternoon to brief Republicans in the House and Senate on the Singapore summit and quell concerns about the joint exercises.
Pence told lawmakers that semiannual war games would cease, contingent upon North Korea following through on efforts to denuclearize. However, Pence added that "regular readiness training" would continue, an administration official said.
The distinction between the two types of drills is subtle. Twice a year, the U.S. and South Korea typically hold "war games," in which thousands of troops from each country assemble for military drills. Readiness training occurs fairly regularly, with troops gathered in smaller numbers.
Pence's explanation caused some initial confusion, as Sen. Cory Gardner Cory Scott GardnerCongress can open financial institutions to legal cannabis industry with SAFE Banking Act Dem super PAC campaign urges Republicans to back impeachment On The Money: Cain withdraws from Fed consideration | Says he didn't want 'pay cut' | Trump sues to block subpoena for financial records | Dems plot next move in Trump tax-return battle MORE (R-Colo.) said that military exercises would continue.
Gardner later clarified that Pence said "while this readiness training and exchanges will occur, war games will not."
North Korea regards the large-scale exercises as acts of aggression.
The U.S. and South Korea earlier this year had agreed to delay a joint exercise that was scheduled to take place during the Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang amid an initial thaw in relations with North Korea.
Trump met with Kim on Tuesday in Singapore in the first ever meeting between leaders of the U.S. and North Korea. After hours of meetings, the two signed a document that provided unspecified security assurances to Kim in exchange for an agreement to denuclearize the Korean peninsula. The document lacked details on a timeline or nature of denuclearization, however.
As part of the deal, Trump said large-scale joint military drills will stop "unless and until" negotiations go poorly, he said Tuesday.
Defense Secretary James Mattis James Norman MattisPentagon watchdog clears acting Defense chief in ethics probe New 2020 candidate Moulton on hypothetical Mars invasion: 'I would not build a wall' Trump learns to love acting officials MORE and Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Gen. Joseph Dunford were made aware of the decision before Trump's announcement.
Meanwhile, a spokesperson for U.S. forces in South Korea said they had not received "updated guidance." As a result, a large-scale exercise remained scheduled for the fall.
South Korea's response, however, indicated that Trump's announcement came as a surprise. A spokesman for the presidential Blue House said officials needed to "find out the precise meaning or intentions" of Trump's remarks.
Trump spoke with South Korean President Moon Jae-in the day before his meeting with Kim, but appears not to have disclosed his intention to halt the military exercises.
Trump explained at a press conference in Singapore that suspending certain military exercises would be a cost-saving measure, and a gesture of goodwill as the U.S. aims to keep North Korea at the table.
"The amount of money that we spend on that is incredible, and South Korea contributes, but not a hundred percent," Trump said. "Under the circumstances that we are negotiating a very comprehensive, complete deal, I think it's inappropriate to be having war games."

Watertown News (http://www.watertownmanews.com/2017/10/27/tufts-health-plan-receives-award-for-embracing-diversity/)
Tufts Health Plan Foundation Receives Award for Embracing Diversity
By Guest Writer | October 27, 2017
At its 35th anniversary annual conference, held in Boston, Grantmakers In Aging (GIA) presented the GIA Diversity Award for 2017 to the Tufts Health Plan Foundation, the GIA announced.
Jackie Jenkins-Scott, a member of the board of directors of Tufts Health Plan Foundation and former president of Wheelock College, accepted the award on behalf of the Foundation and its grantees.
Ms. Jenkins-Scott observed, "A key tenant of our work is honoring the community and meeting them where they are. This includes listening, following and doing what is needed to ensure their success."
The award was established in 2003 to recognize national, regional, and local individuals, programs, and organizations that embrace diversity as a fundamental element in all levels of their work in aging. It reflects GIA's firm belief that diversity is a critical element of strong grantmaking in aging, and that diversity encompasses, but is not limited to, age, gender, race, national origin, religious beliefs, physical abilities and characteristics, sexual orientation, economic circumstances and lifestyle, or gender expression.
The award was presented by Therese Ellery, Senior Program Officer at the Rose Community Foundation in Denver, Colorado and a member of the GIA Diversity Award Committee, with the following citation:
"This year's GIA Diversity Award winner is the Tufts Health Plan Foundation and its grantees. The Foundation's mission is to improve the health and wellness of the diverse communities it serves. Diversity and inclusion are embedded in all of the Tufts Health Plan Foundation's grantmaking. The Foundation prioritizes investments in underserved communities in Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Rhode Island, and in older adults at risk economically and socially. And while this award recognizes the Foundation generally, it especially recognizes the work of the Foundation's grantees.
A powerful example is the Age-Friendly Boston Initiative, which you heard about earlier. The city recently released a 75-point Age-Friendly Boston Action Plan, which was informed by 30 listening sessions, conducted in 4 languages in 23 neighborhoods across the city. 70 organizations participated. In addition 3,700 surveys were completed in 6 languages. In sum, the City heard from 4,000+ older adults from every … single … community in Boston. In this and indeed all of its grantmaking, the Foundation seeks to minimize equity gaps in communities with limited resources and promote healthy aging for all residents. This means supporting work that engages LGBTQ older adults, communities of color, rural populations, and other traditionally underrepresented groups. Because of this deep and sustained commitment, it is our pleasure to present this year's GIA Diversity Award to the Tufts Health Plan Foundation."
Previous GIA Diversity Award recipients have included the Center for Medicare Advocacy, the Pueblo of Zuni and Jewish Family Service of New Mexico, Services and Advocacy for Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, and Transgender Elders (SAGE) and the Coalition of Limited English Speaking Elderly (CLESE) , and several foundations, including the Rose Community Foundation, The Atlantic Philanthropies, and The Retirement Research Foundation. Members of the GIA Diversity Award Committee include Marcus R. Escobedo, Senior Program Officer and Communications Director at The John A. Hartford Foundation; Jolene Fassbinder, Program Officer, at Archstone Foundation; and Bonita Tindley, Program Officer at the Agua Fund.

MEET A VETERAN: Killingly Navy vet flew in reconnaissance crew over Vietnam
John Penney jpenney@norwichbulletin.com, (860) 857-6965 @jpenneynb
In the service: Fred Ruhlemann, of Killingly, enlisted in the U.S. Navy at 19 in 1968, as the Vietnam War was raging. "It was pretty hot and heavy over there, so I figured the Navy was a better place to be than the Army or Marine Corps," said Ruhlemann, now 66. "It turned out that of the four years, seven months and 22 days I was in, I only spent 30 days on a ship," he said. Ruhlemann worked in Guam as an aviation electrician and air crewman in a heavy photographic reconnaissance squad, which took high-altitude photos of enemy troop movements throughout Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam. Ruhlemann was responsible at times for changing film in the 13 still cameras embedded in the belly of the A-3 Douglas Skywarriors, sometimes in mid-flight, as well as general electrical repair work. After leaving Guam, Ruhlemann spent time in a bomber squadron in Washington before being discharged in 1973 with the rank of petty officer second-class.
After the service: Ruhlemann worked for 24 years as a state of Connecticut conservation sergeant, enforcing fish and game laws in the region. After retiring as a supervisor, he was hired as one of the first four members of the Mohegan Tribal Police Department, eventually becoming the organization's training officer. After his wife of 15 years, Janice, died, Ruhlemann left the department. He is an active member of the Killingly Republican Town Committee and on the advisory committee for the RSVP veterans coffeehouse in Killingly.
Quote: "I'm very proud of my service. My father was in the Coast Guard and my daughter served as a medical corpsman in the Navy, so there's three generations of my family that served this country in the military. The scariest moment I can remember is during a flight mission when we were running low on fuel and needed to land. We weren't going to make it to our landing strip in Da Nang so we had to land in Chu Lai in South Vietnam. That base was coming under heavy fire — mortars or rockets were hitting the runway. We taxied to a stop and opened the door to see an E-5 telling us to head to a bunker. We were afraid the plane wouldn't be there we when got back, but it was."

A new report by the Seattle Indian Health Board looks at the numbers of missing or murdered indigenous women and girls in urban areas. They found six cases in Portland. We'll talk to Esther Lucero, CEO of the Seattle Indian Health Board, about how they went about collecting this data, and why it hasn't been reported before.
The 2013 reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act allowed Native American tribes to prosecute non-Natives if they domestically abused a tribal member on Indian land. The act is set to expire this month unless Congress takes action. Chuck Sams, director of communications for the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation, tells us about the effect the Violence Against Women Act has had, and what would happen if it expires.

Q: How to use git flow without using release branch? There are several branches available in git flow.
such as

*

*feature/

*release/

*support/

*hotfix/

*bugfix/
I do not need release/ branch and want to merge staging branch (a development branch) directly to master.
What is the best way to achieve this using git flow?

A: I think this would be mandatory to make release branch for every release in production or your master branch
So There is no alternative way to do this.
Simply flow is as below:

*

*Work on your feature branch

*Finish work and merge your feature branch to staging

*Make release branch from staging.

*Add version and tag than merge it to master amd staging both.

I think this would be helpful for you.

Chapter 2134 – Meet Hong Yifeng basketball stomach
At first, Hong Yifeng only cared about the mystical potential, so he didn't feel much. Nonetheless, immediately after following a selected roads, he spotted it was subsequently having father and dad from the masses, nevertheless the length between the enchanting ability and him was still exactly the same.. Immediately, Hong Yifeng seen that somebody was deliberately major him to check out a particular location.
francis sandow – isle of the dead painting
Gu Ning was immediately amused by Hong Yifeng's righteous and conceited att.i.tude. He was the individual that essential to work together with her, but his att.i.tude manufactured her truly feel it was subsequently her who necessary to work with him. He was obviously a really self-structured entrepreneur.
"Sure, just where?" Gu Ning didn't flip him downwards, because it was just what exactly she wished for.
Even Zhou Wenqun couldn't aid frowning, but he didn't dare to disrupt.
The fact is, prior to they came listed here, Zhou Wenqun was mentally prepared, but he was still dissatisfied as he confronted it now. All things considered, it absolutely was an extremely prosperous company!
Hong Yifeng's att.i.tude wasn't welcome to make bargains sometimes. He frustrated other people, so no one would be willing to cooperate with him.
At 2:30 pm, Hong Yifeng came. He introduced a 35-season-aged guy with him. This person wasn't a cultivator, he was a typical person with an air flow in the high level.
The guy mentioned his surname was Hong and didn't explain to his complete name, but Gu Ning believed he was Hong Yifeng from his tone of voice.
"Nice to find out you, Director Zhou," explained Gu Ning, then she asked them to experience a seating.
"Thank you Mr. Hong, to your endorsement of Colaine, but right away, I have got no decide to cooperate with any one. However some of Colaine medicines will be in brief provide, it'll be settled inside a month. I've already identified other industrial facilities, which are almost concluded and may also start off generation in the near future. The Shengning Organization has plenty of money, so there is not any must work in the creation of medicines. When I want cooperation, my very own household will be my primary selection. Naturally, 1 shouldn't permit rewards created by one's own try to collect to other individuals!" Gu Ning mentioned.
Hong Yifeng tried to persuade Gu Ning to work with him, despite the presence of coercion and bribery, but Gu Ning was established and switched him downwards.
Ultimately, Hong Yifeng was so angry that they immediately made around and left behind angrily.
Even Zhou Wenqun couldn't support frowning, but he didn't dare to disrupt.
Despite the fact that he came to hit an agreement with Gu Ning, he was still very conceited.
If she really planned to work with another person, she would have cooperated with other people a long time ago. They wouldn't have a chance in anyway.
As soon as Hong Yifeng kept the Shengning Enterprise, he suddenly sensed a touch of awesome ability not distant. It absolutely was very 100 % pure, as though it got their start in jewel.
Uncle Titus and His Visit to the Country
Perhaps Hong Yifeng didn't know this market clearly, but Zhou Wenqun realized it very well. Just after Colaine has become well-known, there had been many suppliers who wanted to cooperate by it. Nonetheless, up to now, not one of them became popular. The issue was they will didn't meet up with Gu Ning's demands, or Gu Ning didn't plan to cooperate with any person whatsoever.
Gu Ning wasn't shocked that Hong Yifeng learned her range given it was very simple to get yourself a range with a bit of associations.
Ahead of approaching listed here, Gu Ning had inquired Qiao Ya ahead above, so Qiao Ya was already there when Gu Ning showed up.
Luckily, Hong Yifeng also believed he originated to share assistance with Gu Ning, so he didn't dress yourself in airs facing Gu Ning. He welcomed Gu Ning pleasantly. "Miss Gu, h.e.l.lo, my surname is Hong. I am Hong Yifeng."
Even Zhou Wenqun couldn't aid frowning, but he didn't dare to interrupt.
The contact of magical strength that Hong Yifeng sensed was coming from the nights-luminescent pearl.
"Thank you Mr. Hong, on your endorsement of Colaine, but from the beginning, I have got no intend to cooperate with anyone. However some of Colaine drug treatments happen to be in short deliver, it'll be fixed inside of a calendar month. I've already proven other industrial facilities, that are almost concluded and may begin manufacturing in the near future. The Shengning Enterprise has adequate money, so there is not any need to work in the creation of medications. When I will need cooperation, my own personal loved ones will likely be my initially method. In fact, just one shouldn't make it possible for added benefits designed by one's possess try to accrue to some others!" Gu Ning reported.
If she really want to cooperate with another person, she can have cooperated with others years ago. They wouldn't have a chance in any way.
"Thank you Mr. Hong, for your own approval of Colaine, but right from the start, We have no wish to cooperate with anybody. Even though some of Colaine prescription drugs come in simple supply, it will be resolved in the four weeks. I've already identified other production facilities, that are almost completed and can commence production before long. The Shengning Firm has satisfactory finances, so there is no must work in the creation of drugs. Generally If I will need cohesiveness, my own personal household will probably be my very first alternative. Naturally, a single shouldn't enable benefits designed by one's individual try to accrue to other individuals!" Gu Ning stated.
Just after Hong Yifeng left behind the Shengning Company, he suddenly felt a bit of mystical energy not far off. It was very real, just as if it originated value.
Cultivators enjoyed a higher reputation than mortals, but it surely relied on one's manners whether to display humility to mortals.
Listening to that, Hong Yifeng was displeased. He sensed Gu Ning didn't appreciate his kind supply.
Section 2134: Match Hong Yifeng
At the start, Hong Yifeng only cared regarding the enchanting strength, so he didn't imagine much. Nevertheless, after right after a particular path, he seen it had been acquiring father and dad off the masses, even so the length in between the wonderful energy and him was still exactly the same.. Instantly, Hong Yifeng found that another person was deliberately top rated him to see a unique location.
Despite the fact that he arrived at affect an arrangement with Gu Ning, he was still very conceited.
Even Zhou Wenqun couldn't help frowning, but he didn't dare to interrupt.
Afterward, the man who was included with Hong Yifeng greeted Gu Ning. "h.e.l.lo Skip Gu, I am the overall manager of Lingzhitang Drug Organization, Zhou Wenqun."

De Alarije is een witte druivensoort uit Extremadura, het zuidwesten van Spanje.

Geschiedenis
Deze druif werd voor het eerst in 1448 genoemd in het manuscript Libro de Oficios van het Real Monasterio de Santa Maria de Guadelupe als de belangrijkste witte druif van het gebied. Alhoewel de Alarije een aantal synoniemen heeft die gebaseerd zijn op de naam Malvasia, is het genetisch totaal verschillend van de echte Malvasia, die voorkomt in andere streken van Spanje, zoals de Malvasía di Lipari en de Malvasía de Lanzarote. In Madrid wordt deze variëteit Torrontés genoemd. Dit is nogal verwarrend, want de Torrontés is de bekende druif uit Argentinië en heeft genetisch niets met de hier besproken druif te maken. DNA-onderzoek heeft recent aangetoond dat deze druif een kruising is tussen twee Spaanse (tafel)druiven en wel de Gibi en de Planta Nova. En aangezien de Gibi een van de ouders is van de Pedro Ximénez, de wereldberoemde druif uit het zuiden van Spanje, waar sherry en ook zoete wijn van wordt gemaakt, zijn deze twee verwanten.

Gebieden en kenmerken
Deze druif wordt in heel Extremadura verbouwd, maar vooral in Cañamero in het noordwesten van de regio. De totale oppervlakte blijft beperkt tot ongeveer 300 hectare.

Grote, zeer compacte trossen van kleine tot middelgrote druiven met een dikke schil. Laatbloeiend en dus ook laat rijp. De opbrengst is hoog en is bepaald gevoelig voor schimmelinfecties. De kleur van de wijn is geelgroen en oxideert relatief snel, waardoor de kleur verandert naar goudgeel.

Q: From where (in space-time) does Hawking radiation originate? According to my understanding of black hole thermodynamics, if I observe a black hole from a safe distance I should observe black body radiation emanating from it, with a temperature determined by its mass.  The energy from this radiation comes from the black hole's mass itself.
But where (in space-time) does the process of generating the Hawking radiation happen? It seems like it should be at the event horizon itself. However, here is a Penrose diagram of a black hole that forms from a collapsing star and then evaporates, which I've cribbed from this blog post by Luboš Motl.

On the diagram I've drawn the world-lines of the star's surface (orange) and an observer who remains at a safe distance and eventually escapes to infinity (green). From the diagram I can see how the observer can see photons from the star itself and any other infalling matter (orange light rays). These will become red-shifted to undetectably low frequencies. But it seems as if any photons emitted from the horizon itself will only be observed at a single instant in time (blue light ray), which looks like it should be observed as the collapse of the black hole.
So it seems that if I observe photons from a black hole at any time before its eventual evaporation, they must have originated from a time before the horizon actually formed. Is this correct? It seems very much at odds with the way the subject of Hawking radiation is usually summarised. How is it possible for the photons to be emitted before the formation of the horizon? Does the energy-time uncertainty relation play a role here?
One reason I'm interested in this is because I'd like to know whether Hawking radiation interacts with the matter that falls in to the black hole. There seem to be three possibilities:

*

*Hawking radiation is generated in the space-time in between the black hole and the observer, and so doesn't interact (much, or at all) with the infalling matter;

*Hawking radiation is generated near to the centre of the black hole, at a time before the horizon forms, and consequently it does interact with the matter.

*The Hawking radiation is actually emitted by the infalling matter, which for some reason is heated to a very high temperature as it approaches the event horizon.

*(With thanks to pjcamp) you can't think of them as coming from a particular point, because they are quantum particles and never have a well-defined location.

All these possibilities have quite different implications for how one should think of the information content of the radiation that eventually reaches the observer, so I'd like to know which (if any) is correct.
The fourth possibility does sound like the most reasonable, but if it's the case I'd like some more details, because what I'm really trying to understand is whether the Hawking photons can interact with the infalling matter or not. Ordinarily, if I observe a photon I expect it to have been emitted by something. If I observe one coming from a black hole, it doesn't seem unreasonable to try and trace its trajectory back in time and work out when and where it came from, and if I do that it will still appear to have come from a time before the horizon formed, and in fact will appear to be originating from surface of the original collapsing star, just before it passed the horizon. I understand the argument that the infalling matter will not experience any Hawking radiation, but I would like to understand whether, from the perspective of the outside observer, the Hawking radiation appears to interact with the matter falling into the black hole. Clearly it does interact with objects that are sufficiently far from the black hole, even if they're free-falling towards it, so if it doesn't interact with the surface of the collapsing star then where is the cutoff point, and why?
In an answer below, Ron Maimon mentions "a microscopic point right where the black hole first formed," but in this diagram it looks like no radiation from that point will be observed until the hole's collapse. Everything I've read about black holes suggests that Hawking radiation is observed to emanate from the black hole continuously, and not just at the moment of collapse, so I'm still very confused about this.
If the radiation is all emitted from this point in space-time, it seems like it should interact very strongly with the in-falling matter:

In this case, crossing the event horizon would not be an uneventful non-experience after all, since it would involve colliding with a large proportion of the Hawking photons all at once. (Is this related to the idea of a "firewall" that I've heard about?)
Finally, I realise it's possible that I'm just thinking about it in the wrong way. I know that the existence of photons is not observer-independent, so I guess it could just be that the question of where the photons originate is not a meaningful one. But even in this case I'd really like to have a clearer physical picture of the situation. If there is a good reason why "where and when do the photons originate?" is not the right question, I'd really appreciate an answer that explains it. (pjcamp's answer to the original version of the question goes some way towards this, but it doesn't address the time-related aspect of the current version, and it also doesn't give any insight as to whether the Hawking radiation interacts with the infalling matter, from the observer's perspective.)
Editorial note: this question has been changed quite a bit since the version that pjcamp and Ron Maimon answered. The old version was based on a time-symmetry argument, which is correct for a Schwartzchild black hole, but not for a transient one that forms from a collapsing star and then evaporates. I think the exposition in terms of Penrose diagrams is much clearer.

A: The origin of the radiation in Hawking's original calculation is in a microscopic point right where the black hole first formed. This is where your back-tracing procedure ends. Unfortunately, the light is blue shifted insanely during the back-shifting, so that it is far too blue to be physical (it has wavelength past the Planck length by a lot). This made people worry about Hawking's derivation.
The modern picture of holography generally resolves this issue. The black hole is indistinguishable from and quantum mechanically dual to a white hole, so that you can consider the Hawking radiation as coming from the white hole. This is a consistent picture, and the compression of the radiation at the initial point has an exact analog in what happens to infalling matter in a classical white hole, or in an evaporating black hole. Both issues require a duality between the interior and exterior description, and the realization that highly transplanckian objects near the horizon are really best thought of as stringly spread out over the entire surface, or living in a dual interior region.
(The question changed since I answered this, I am getting downvotes: Penrose diagrams are a wrong picture, they are misleading, they are completely incorrect in the proper quantum gravity, don't use it. The proper picture is the naive one, without twisting the horizon to lie at 45 degrees.
When you make the horizon lie at 45 degrees you must choose if the horizon is a past or future horizon. But the two things are quantum-mechanically dual (although classically separate) and you shouldn't force the horizon to be one and not the other. All black holes which are around long enough can be viewed as eternal, and near the end-state, they are all white holes. This was explained by Hawking, and verified by AdS/CFT. Penrose diagrams should be retired, and downvoters, and those who give answers other than mine, have no idea what they're talking about).

A: There are a number of equivalent ways to think about Hawking radiation. One is pair creation, as endolith mentions, where the infalling particle has negative total energy and so reduces the mass of the black hole. Another way, perhaps more useful here, involves de Broglie wavelength. If the wavelength of a particle (not just photons, by the way) is greater than the Schwarzchild radius, then the particle cannot be thought of as localized within the black hole. There is a finite probability that it will be found outside. In other words, you can think of it as a tunneling process. In fact, you can derive the correct Hawking temperature from the correct wavelength and the uncertainty principle, without deploying the full machinery of quantum field theory.
So I guess that counts as #4 because it isn't on your list. You can't think of quantum particles coming from a specific point because you can't think of them ever having a specific location.

A: Nice question! I'll try to put together a few ideas into what might be a valid answer, but this could be wrong.
The event horizon is a lightlike surface. Therefore no proper time passes at the horizon, and any photon emitted exactly at the horizon would remain exactly at the horizon until the moment when evaporation was complete, after which it would fly off -- at the same instant as every other photon that had been trapped there. The Penrose diagram would look like this:

The green world-line represents a distant inertial observer. (Geodesics don't generally look straight on a Penrose diagram.) She receives all of the Hawking radiation (purple) at a single instant. Now we know that this is not really right. Hawking radiation is supposed to be detected at some finite rate by a distant observer, and this rate increases continuously until evaporation is complete.
I think this suggests that we need to consider the concept of a "stretched horizon," which is basically the horizon plus an extra distance on the order of the Planck length. The distant observer applies her knowledge of gravitational time dilation and infers that the horizon is infinitely hot, and therefore that the laws of physics she knows break down there. It thus becomes useless to worry about the exact nature of the degrees of freedom that are present there; they could be at the Planck scale, could be photons, could be strings, could be virtual black holes, could be real black holes that fission off from the main hole by a process analogous to alpha decay. So we just say that there's a sort of "atmosphere" that extends at least one Planck length above the horizon. We then have this picture:

The stretched horizon is the red curve. The purple lines represent photons emitted from it at different times, and detected at different times by the distant observer. I've simply guessed the qualitative shape of the stretched horizon on the Penrose diagram (curved, concave down); maybe someone else could check whether this actually checks out with a specific coordinate transformation.

A: I do not know for your graphic, but as I understand it, you can see Hawking radiation as photons who quantum-tunnel from inside the Black Hole. This is possible because the Hawking radiation wavelength is of the same order as the BH diameter.
As such, you should depict these light-rays as travelling not following the lightcone, but at higher-than light speed through their initial path, and this does not contradict causality because no information can be transmitted from inside the BH (the Hawking photons have strictly thermal spectrum).
Regarding the question of whether this radiation interacts with the infalling observer, the answer is yes, but this interaction is undermined by the fact that this radiation has very large wavelength, exceeding any possible detector the observer could have. So unless the falling onserver has the dimensions comparable with the black hole, he will hardly detect any radiation (yet the probability is not strictly zero).

El Gran Premio de Francia, inicialmente llamado Gran Premio de l'ACF, es una carrera de automovilismo de velocidad puntuable en el Campeonato Mundial de Fórmula 1.

Los Grandes Premios de automovilismo tuvieron su origen en Francia y el Gran Premio de Francia de 1906 fue una carrera internacional organizada por Automobile Club de France en el circuito de la Sarthe, con la participación de treinta y dos vehículos. El nombre Gran Premio se refería al premio de 45.000 francos franceses al ganador de la prueba. Dicha moneda valía 0,290 gramos de oro por unidad, de modo que el premio equivalía a 13 kg de oro.

El primer campeonato mundial fue organizado en 1925 en incluía además los Grandes Premios de Italia, Bélgica y la Indy 500. El Gran Premio de Francia forma parte del campeonato de Fórmula 1 desde sus inicios en 1950. Varios han sido los circuitos donde se ha disputado el Gran Premio de Francia. Entre 1991 y 2008, la carrera se corrió en el Circuito de Nevers Magny-Cours. La Fórmula 3000 Internacional y luego la GP2 Series han servido de teloneras desde 1999 hasta 2008.

Desde 2004, problemas financieros han puesto en duda la participación del Gran Premio de Francia en el campeonato de Fórmula 1. Ese circuito se corrió por última vez en 2008. Diez años más tarde, esta competencia volvió a celebrarse en Paul Ricard.

Founded in February 2005, YouTube allows billions of people to discover, watch and share originally-created videos. YouTube provides a forum for people to connect, inform and inspire others across the globe and acts as a distribution platform for original content creators and advertisers large and small. In October 2006, Google Inc. announced that it had acquired YouTube for $1.65 billion in Google stock.
YouTube were looking for the perfect way to market YouTube for business services – a sales approach aimed at top advertising spenders to present the features and benefits of advertising with YouTube over conventional methods of advertising. They sought an interactive sales tool that would ooze creativity and uniqueness. YouTube was seeking an agency who could provide a bespoke multi-sensory marketing product. There were some great product ideas being discussed but the problem was, these products didn't exist yet. We had to figure out how to invent them; and then invent them.
VideoPak was the perfect solution for YouTube as creativity and video engagement were at the forefront of their values. A highly bespoke and cutting edge VideoPak with a 5" screen was created to make an emotional connection on a multi-sensory level with the user. This highly effective solution was perfect to showcase the YouTube brand. Fuse Innovation designed and manufactured a world first; a multi-sensor VideoPak cross-pack that was 210mm x 210mm in size and comprised of four opening pages. Four videos were loaded onto the flash memory and each time a page was turned, the corresponding video began to play automatically.

Top 10 Billionaires
January 15, 2015 / Posted in Product Management
The elite, short list of world billionaires. Such an exclusive club, as of this publishing there were less than 1,600 members in a world of over 7 billion souls. Billionaires are interesting because they are scarce and live a lifestyle they can afford to cloak in mystery. The billionaires that interest me most are the self made billionaires. They are smart, but not necessarily in the highest IQ tiers. So if it isn't smarts, what is it that has enabled self made billionaires to bend reality to their will? I will dive further into this subject and talk a little about why each member makes the cut. This list may change with time, but as of today, here are my choices for Chris' top 10 billionaires list.
Chris' Top 10 Billionaires list:
10. Scott Cook
Scott Cook, founder of Intuit (photo courtesy: Intuit)
Scott Cook started at P&G and Bain, but ultimately made his $1B+ fortune creating Intuit. Scott was not only a great entrepreneur starting Intuit, he's known for smoothly transitioning himself out of the CEO role. His decision ultimately helped Intuit reach $4B+ in annual revenues as of 2015. But why is Scott so special to me? Because he's the only billionaire I get to chat with when I go to the annual Intuit Christmas party. I have my wife to thank for that.
9. Warren Buffett
The Oracle of Omaha, Warren Buffet (photo courtesy: Wikipedia.org)
You have to admire Warren Buffett's patience and humility. He is the pioneer at sniffing out the best investments based on future value and opportunities. His strategy also happens to be extremely tax efficient which is key to long term growth. He has a great sense of humor and delivery, and the guy is so humble, he still lives in a modest house in Omaha, Nebraska which he paid off years ago. In my mind, Buffett's greatest accomplishment of all is leading other billionaires down the righteous path of donating at least 50% of their fortune to charities over their lifetime. So for his contributions to philanthropy, here's to the Oracle of Omaha!
8. TIE Sara Blakely
Sara Blakely, the mind behind Spanx (photo courtesy of Forbes)
If you don't know Sara Blakely, she's the one behind the Spanx trend. I learned all about her story on the podcast – How I built this. You immediately get a sense of her passion, business sense, and scrappiness; all which made her idea succeed. Her product was completely new and not one you market traditionally, but her grit overcame the early stages until finally stores couldn't keep her product in stock. Another thing I love about Sara's business is it's private, she took all the risk and currently has full control of her Spanx empire. Sara's positivity and bubbliness can't help but spill over in interviews and she ties for the #8 spot.
8. TIE Kylie Jenner

On the other hand, Kylie Jenner had the reverse fortune of Sara. Instead of a killer product, her household name was well positioned to take advantage of her followers. When it came time to start a company, she already had all the demand a business could want, she just needed a product to sell. Enter Kylie Cosmetics and the rest if history. Kylie is now the youngest self made billionaire ever. What about haters who say she came from wealth and should be considered a self made billionaire? Well, she did come from wealth but she's still a self made billionaire. If you disagree, talk to some of her competitors like Beautylish or Sephora and ask just how much market share Kylie Cosmetics has taken from them. Kylie's billion dollar business has another great advantage – it's private and has less than 10 employees! With that kind of efficiency, it's easy to share profits with your team. Nice work Kylie and Sara, you are both a force to be reckoned with.
Previously I had selected Elizabeth Holmes for the #8 spot. But after learning about her failed company, constant lies and sociopathic tendencies, I thought Sara and Kylie were much better for this list.

7. Nick Woodman

Nick Woodman is another recent self made billionaire who brought us the company GoPro. His story and lifestyle are inspirational to me. I read that Nick would wear a Camelbak while working a power flow session at his desk, just to avoid the time suck of getting up and fetching water. And what a cool story about GoPro. After his first company funbug dies, Nick creates the prototype GoPro camera and takes it on a surfing hiatus. Seeing the potential, he sinks everything he has into the company and has grown revenue to $1 billion (Nick's net worth is currently over $4 billion). My favorite thing about Nick? His megawatter smile that can't help but draw you in. Anyone can see why success is attracted to this shining star.
6. Mark Cuban

Mark Cuban might be the most outgoing billionaire on this list. He's confident, and isn't afraid to take the path of controversy. He is also not one to censor his thoughts, like the time he said, "I'm more concerned the government will fuck it up," when asked about government regulation of the Internet. Mark was known for hustling in highschool and college, working several jobs and starting multiple ventures. But it was starting MicroSolutions and Broadcast.com that truely brought him to the billionaire club. Mark's take on the biggest problem being a billionaire? That one day it has to end.
5. Elon Musk

Elon Musk might not be the richest billionaire, but I'd argue he's the coolest. Elon showed his capability early on, teaching himself to code and selling his first piece of software at age 12 (it was a game called Blaster). After college and becoming a US citizen, he started Zip2. After 4 short years, he sold it to Compaq, netting himself $22 million in the process. Next in 1999 came a little venture called PayPal, which was sold to eBay in 2002 and put $160 million in Musk's pocket. Since then, Musk has gone on to build rockets at SpaceX and electric vehicles at Tesla, both companies he had early roots in. One of the coolest things about Musk is he partially inspired the background story of Tony Stark, better known as Iron Man. When I think about role models for my son Bradley, Elon Musk is the first to come to mind.
4. Jeff Bezos
Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos (photo courtesy: www.itsrishi.com)
Jeff Bezos is a true visionary and entrepreneur. Like all of the billionaires on my list, he showed potential early on by trying to disassemble his crib, working on windmills, and later as high school valedictorian. He later graduated Summa Cum Laude from Princeton with two engineering degrees. He worked on Wall Street for 8 years and in 1994 drove to Washington to start Amazon.com, where he continues to make his billions revolutionizing retail, on demand video, hosting, and of course books. Bezos has an impressive history of recognition: as the Time person of the year for 1999, named the Forbes business person of the year for 2012, and in 2008 US News and World Report acknowledged Bezos as the one of America's best leaders. At $30 billion, Jeff breaks into the top 25 richest individuals in the world. I wouldn't be surprised if Bezos is in the top 10 in the next few years.
Oprah Winfrey (photo courtesy: www.getactivenow.ca)
Oprah Winfrey is a savvy business woman, actor, author, and producer. I can't begin to imagine the challenges she had to overcome to get where she is. But when you combine excellence and a steady work ethic over time, great things can be accomplished. Oprah was born into poverty and had a tough childhood by many accounts. But once Oprah got her foothold, she was able to take her show national, and then really used her leverage and make more opportunities for herself. Once she started producing and created her OWN network, there was no stopping her. Not only is she America's richest African American (surpassing Bill Cosby), she's also America's richest female (but watch out for Elisabeth Holmes). For your hard work you deserve it Oprah, well done!
2. Bill Gates
Bill Gates (photo courtesy: www.winbeta.org)
Bill Gates is an amazing entrepreneur and business man. He has a photographic memory, coupled with a voracious appetite for knowledge, coupled with a mind for business. He took an early interest in software and scored a 1590 out of 1600 on the SATs. He was a National Merit Scholar and enrolled at Harvard in 1973. By 1976 he had dropped out of Harvard and started Microsoft with Paul Allen. As you might know, Microsoft went on to create BASIC, MS-DOS, and Windows which made Gates a multi billionaire. In 1999 he actually was worth over $100 billion making him a "centibillionaire". Some of that wealth he's donated to his charity, the Bill and Melinda Gates foundation, which earned Bill, Bono, and Melinda the Time "person of the year" cover in 2005. As of 2013, Bill had donated $28 billion of his personal wealth to charity. If you ever get the chance, go back and watch these videos of Steve Jobs and Bill Gates. They are some of my favorites, and really show how well Bill understood the software market and why Microsoft was wildly successful.
1. Mark Zuckerberg
Mark Zuckerberg and his mission (photo courtesy: under30ceo.com)
Mark Zuckerberg, in my opinion, is the ultimate billionaire. He might be the most recognized name on the list as nearly everyone knows about Facebook and Mark's rise to fame. And despite his new found, wide spread influence, he is remarkably real and down to earth. Unlike Aaron Levie who has less than 5% equity in Box.com, Mark stood firm and kept his stake in Facebook despite the lure of early cash. Mark was also a child prodigy, scoring 1590 out of 1600 on his SATs and getting into Harvard before dropping out to start Facebook. Mark is also one of the most beloved CEOs on the planet, with a 99% approval rating (this Quora answer succinctly answers why Mark is so good). Congrats Mark Zuckerberg!

Duke, Dominion, other utility executives lay out critical steps to achieve decarbonization targets
Jason Plautz Contributor
Brian Tucker/Utility Dive
As utilities meet aggressive federal and state decarbonization targets, it will be incumbent on them to communicate and educate customers, executives from major U.S. utilities said at the BNEF Summit on Wednesday.
"We've got to really advance what our customers see and hear, and what products they are able to utilize to affect their electricity consumption," said Steve Young, executive vice president and chief financial officer for Duke Energy. With electricity rates expected to rise as utilities install new renewable infrastructure, Young added that it will be important to communicate what that money is funding.
Also key, panelists said, is cooperation amoing federal, state and local regulators to streamline approval and permitting for new transmission infrastructure to accommodate offshore wind and solar energy. "The higher the certainty we have of these projects getting done, the more we'll attract jobs and manufacturing" in the renewable sector, said Avangrid CEO Dennis Arriola.
The Biden administration has set a target for the nation to achieve 100% clean energy by 2035 and could announce an economy-wide 50% cut to emissions below a 2006 baseline by 2030.
A number of states have also set targets. California, for example, has a clean energy standard calling for 100% zero-carbon electricity by 2045. Last spring, Virginia Governor Ralph Northam signed a law that will require Dominion Energy Virginia to be 100% carbon-free by 2045 and Appalachian Power to be 100% carbon-free by 2050, an "aggressive" target that will force a rapid transformation of the grid, said Dominion chief operating officer Diane Leopold.
"We've been trying to make sure customer bills are at the forefront of those efforts, because electricity does need to be safe, affordable and reliable as well as clean," Leopold said on the BNEF panel.
She added that new technology like smart meters and carbon calculators have given customers "information behind the meter they are not used to having access to," making them more aware of the role the utility plays in their power. That can help educate consumers on the changes to the grid and their bills, as well as empower them to reduce demand and play their own role in fighting climate change.
On the supply side, executives emphasized that building storage and transmission projects to bring power to where it's needed can take years because of the complex permitting system. In order to meet the administration's goal to deploy 30 GW of offshore wind by 2030, all levels of government will have to work together, said Arriola, whose company operates in 24 states. "The biggest thing the federal government can do is coordinate with state governments," he said, noting that Avangrid's plan to build a 1,200-MW transmission line in Maine to deliver hydropower from Canada has taken more than five years.
Meeting clean energy goals will require new investments and experiments with technologies like small modular reactors and green hydrogen, which executives said would require government support and more investment from ratepayers. However, National Grid U.S. president Badar Khan said that utilities could communicate that those investments will pay off in the future.
"We may not see all of this come through on our energy bills," Khan said. "It may come through tax incentives or product rebates. There is a cost to carbon … and finding a way to address those costs across society by making investments in resiliency and infrastructure and decarbonizing is all worthwhile."
