Here's DART's First Picture From Space. We Are Already Looking Forward to its Last Image
It might not look like much, but here is the first monumental image from the Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART). Earlier this month, a circular door covering the aperture of its DRACO telescopic camera was opened, allowing the camera to take its first image.
Now, imagine what the camera's last image will be like: a REALLY closeup view of a binary asteroid system, Didymos and especially, its moonlet Dimorphos. The goal of DART is to intentionally collide with Dimorphos. If everything goes according to plan, this will alter the asteroid's motion so that ground-based telescopes can accurately measure any changes.

NASA's New Asteroid Impact Monitoring System Comes Online
An asteroid striking Earth is a genuine possibility. There are tens of thousands of asteroids classified as Near-Earth Asteroids (NEAs), and we're finding around 3,000 more each year. The number of new detections will see an uptick in the next few years as better survey telescopes come online.
Now NASA has developed a new system to classify all those asteroids and better evaluate impact probabilities.

Asteroid Apophis' 2029 Flyby Will Provide a Bonanza of Asteroid Science
If NASA and other space agencies don't want us to freak out about asteroids colliding with Earth, why do they give them names like Apophis? It sounds apocalyptic.
Apophis was the ancient Egyptian god of Chaos. He was an evil serpent that dwelled in endless darkness, the enemy of light and truth. So when they informed us that an asteroid named Apophis was due for a close encounter with Earth in 2029, people were understandably anxious. After all, Earth's previous dominant inhabitants were evicted by an asteroid.

Did the Earth's Water Come From the Sun?
Where did Earth's water come from? Comets may have brought some of it. Asteroids may have brought some. Icy planetesimals may have played a role by crashing into the young Earth and depositing their water. Hydrogen from inside the Earth may have contributed, too. Another hypothesis states the collision that formed the Moon gave Earth its water.
There's evidence to back up all of these hypotheses.
But new research suggests that the Sun and its Solar Wind may have helped delivered some water, too.

An Upcoming Asteroid Mission Will be Able to Peer 100 Meters Under the Surface
Engineers only get one shot at making a spacecraft work as intended. Or at least they only get one shot in space. In the preparation leading up to that final, climactic moment, there are typically thousands of hours of tests run on numerous systems and subsystems. If all goes well, it bodes well for the mission's overall success, but if problems arise, it's much easier to address them on the ground than while a spacecraft is already orbiting. A model of a new spacecraft known as Juventas just completed a significant testing milestone – passing testing in a room known as an anechoic chamber.

NASA Launches DART, to Learn how to Defend the Earth From a Future Asteroid Impact
In the early hours of the morning on Wednesday, Nov. 24th, NASA's Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) launched from Space Launch Complex 4 East at Vandenberg Space Force Base (SFB) in California. This spacecraft is the world's first full-scale mission to demonstrate technologies that could someday be used to defend our planet from Near-Earth Asteroids (NEAs) that could potentially collide with Earth.
Put simply, the DART mission is a kinetic impactor that will evaluate a proposed method for deflecting asteroids. Over the next ten months, the DART mission will autonomously navigate towards the target asteroid – the binary NEA (65803) Didymos – and intentionally collide with it. If everything goes according to plan, this will alter the asteroid's motion so that ground-based telescopes can accurately measure any changes.

Early Earth was Pummeled 10x More Than Previously Estimated
It's no secret that Earth was bombarded with plenty of meteors for billions of years during the solar system's early formation. Estimates vary on how much material impacted the planet, but it had a considerable effect on the planet's atmosphere and the evolution of life. Now, a new study from a team led by researchers at the Southwest Research Institute puts the number at almost ten times the number of previously estimated impacts. That much of a difference could dramatically change how geologists and planetary scientists view the early Earth.

Uh oh, one of Lucy's Solar Arrays Hasn't Latched Properly
As we're fond of saying here at UT, space exploration is hard. Many things can go wrong when launching thousands of kgs of highly engineered equipment that took years to develop into space. Now, something seems to have gone wrong with NASA's latest Discovery mission. Lucy, launched successfully by a ULA rocket on October 16th, seems to have a solar panel that didn't quite "latch."

What Are Your Options When you've Only Got Hours or Days to Prevent an Asteroid Impact?
Imagine a scenario where we detect an asteroid heading straight for Earth. Imagine that it will arrive in a couple of days, or worse, only a few hours. What could be done to stop it?
It might be possible to protect ourselves and the planet on such short notice. But we'd have to test and build the right infrastructure to do it.

Turgenev (1818-1883) remained a bachelor throughout his life. His mother was a cold and fickle woman and his father had married her for her money. As a child Turgenev witnessed the constant arguments between his parents and swore to himself that he would never marry. And he didn't. Most of his adult life he was in love with Pauline Viardot, a married woman. He adored her, but apparently happily accepted that he could never have her completely (see http://wp.me/p5zzbs-1R ).
His mother and Pauline keep popping up in his work. Let's have a look at three of his well known love stories: First Love (1856), Acia (1858) and Torrents of Spring (1872). All three are more or less autobiographical and in all three stories the narrator looks back on an episode in his youth. This construction is know as a "frame story", a technique that Turgenev uses a lot, and it gives the reader the feeling that he is reading in Turgenev's memoirs.
First Love is probably the most famous of the three stories. The 16 years old Volodya is head over heels in love with Zinaïda, a beautiful, cheerful, proud and somewhat cruel girl of 21. She has numerous admirers. In the course of the story she changes and becomes pale and depressed. It turns out that she is having an affair with a married man, not with one of her admirers, but with Volodya's father! Of course the affair leads to arguments between Volodya's parents and soon they move to another house. Volodya sees Zinaïda once more: when he is out horse riding with his father, his father suddenly disappears. Volodya follows him and sees him talking to Zinaïda. At some point his father lashes her arm with his whip and the shocked Volodya sees her kiss the red streak that the blow has made. "That's love (…)" Volodya concludes, "that's passion!". Shortly afterwards his father dies and a few years later Zinaïda dies as well.
The way in which Zinaïda treats her admirers reminds us of Pauline, who let Turgenev sit down on a paw of a giant polar bear rug lying at her feet; the only paw that wasn't already occupied.. First Love was Turgenev's personal favourite and he said that it was loosely based on true events. It's remarkable that Volodya isn't jealous when he finds out that is father has an affair with Zinaîda; he understands that she chose his handsome father.
Acia is set idyllically in Germany. During his travels there the narrator N.N. meets a Russian brother and sister; Gagin and Acia. They get along well and soon they are spending every day together. N.N. likes Acia, but can't figure her out; one day she is a simple Russian girl, the next she is reckless and passionate. Gagin tells him that that is the result of her childhood. She is the daughter of his father and a serf woman. Acia falls in love with N.N. and he with her. He decides to propse to her, but when he goes to their house it turns out that they have gone away without saying good-bye to him. He unsuccessfully tries to find them. Looking back the narrator admits that he wasn't sad for very long and that a marriage with such a fickle girl would probably not have been very happy.
Acia's story has similarities with that of Turgenev's own daughter with a serf woman; Paulinette. Acia's dark appearance and tiny figure must have been inspired by Pauline.
Torrents of Spring is also set in Germany. Sanin falls in love with the beautiful, Italian Gemma, who is engaged to a solid German. During a day trip in the mountains Gemma gets insulted by an officer and when her fiancee fails to react, Sanin challenges the officer to a duel. The duel ends with both men missing their shot. When Gemma finds out about the duel, she breaks off her engagement. Not long after Sanin proposes to her himself. In order to raise money for the wedding, he will have to sell his estate in Russia. By chance he meets an old school friend who also happens to be in Germany. This friend suggests that his wife Maria might be interested in buying the estate. Maria, however, makes a bet with her (gay) husband that she will be able to seduce Sanin within a couple of days. She wins the bet in a masterly described scene and instead of returning to Gemma with the money, Sanin follows Maria to Paris. He sends Gemma a lame letter, breaking off the engagement.
Only the beginning of this story really happened, in Frankfurt Turgenev met a pretty Jewish girl and her family, but he saw them only once and the rest of the story he made up. The end, of course, echoes his relationship with Pauline, following her around Europe. Although he was perhaps never Pauline's lover.
Three completely different girls, but three very similar love stories. It all starts in high spirits; the weather is 'magnificent' and 'unusually good for the time of the year' and the surroundings are idyllic. The sudden appearance of an exceptionally pretty girl surprises the narrator. He falls in love, but he never gets the girl, and remains a bachelor. Again and again Turgenev describes being in love, but he never dares to let it blossom into a relationship, nor in his stories, nor in real life.

Critical Race Theory: What is it? Where is it taught? How is it weaponized?
Produced by Erica Scalise
People protest outside the offices of the New Mexico Public Education Department's office, Friday, Nov. 12, 2021, in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The education department proposed changes to the social studies curriculum that critics describe as a veiled attempt to teach critical race theory. Supporters say the new curriculum, which includes ethnic studies, is "anti-racist." AP Photo/Cedar Attanasio
The latest flashpoint in America's culture war is the once obscure academic concept known as Critical Race Theory. Many Republicans have pledged to "ban" it in classrooms across America, both on the campaign trail and through recent legislation. But Critical Race Theory has a specific academic definition — it's a framework, often taught in law school and in higher education that's used to examine cultural bias and not a catch-all term for a curriculum on race.
Today we spent our show understanding what Critical Race Theory is, why it's become so weaponized and what examining systemic racism in a classroom setting looks like. To talk about it, we were joined by a professor of information sciences, a professor of education who teaches Critical Race Theory, a professor from NIU's Center for Black Studies and a public policy reporter.

While we know when dinosaurs first appeared (during the Triassic period), and when they finally went extinct (at the end of the Cretaceous period), one common question is how long did individual dinosaur live for?
One idea is to look at the life span of modern large reptiles. The common alligator, Alligator mississippiensis, has a life span of 60 to 70 years, and there are reliable records of a number of giant tortoises living for over 150 years (for example, a tortoise named Harriet, was collected by Charles Darwin in the Galápagos islands at about age 5 in 1835, and died in Australia Zoo in Queensland, Australia in 2006, meaning she lived to about 176 to 181 years old).
Of course, the problem with using these figures, is that dinosaurs differ in many ways from modern reptiles - for example, some dinosaurs were massively larger, some dinosaurs are believed to have been warm-blooded and bird-like, etc.
Another idea is to use growth rates of modern reptiles. Using this approach, provided we can find a dinosaur hatchling (or a egg which was close to hatching), and compare it to the adult-size of the same type of dinosaur, we can estimate how long it would take for the hatchling to grow to adult-size. (Of course, this approach gives us no indication about how long the adults lived).
The problem is of course the assumption that dinosaurs would have grown at the same rate as modern reptiles. We simply do not know whether that is true. Furthermore, if we actually try this approach, we find that large dinosaurs (such as Sauropod dinosaurs), which hatched from comparatively tiny eggs, could have taken 100 or 200 years to grow to adult-size, which does seem rather unlikely.
If we measure the life span of modern animals, we can make a general observation that larger animals tend to live longer than smaller animals. Based on this approach, we might expect the largest dinosaurs (the Sauropods again) to live on average for 100 years, and smaller dinosaurs to have much shorter life spans.
This method of course only provides a very rough estimate. It is also based on the assumption that all animals follow more or less the same formula - in real-life things are (of course) much more complicated.
All the methods described above, of course, only lead to a very approximate estimate of life span, and each method is based on somewhat dubious underlying assumptions. There is however a method to obtain direct evidence of dinosaur's age at its death, by looking at fossils. This method uses the fact that animal bones, show annual growth rings (similar to tree rings) which can be using a microscope and specialist equipment.
From research into these rings, we are now starting to learn more about how dinosaurs grew and how long they lived. The evidence seems to show that dinosaurs grew quickly, that at least some species (including Tyrannosaurus rex) bred while still growing. Of course, the interpretation of growth rings is itself a subject that has generated much debate, and new mysteries - such as unusual variations in the growth patterns of some types of dinosaur.


The mark of a thriving undergraduate creative writing program is in the eminence of its student literary magazine: The Carson Review is Marymount Manhattan College's creative writing journal, published once a year in the spring.
In addition to learning the nuts and bolts of publishing, students in Literary Magazine Publishing (CRW 310) will survey the history of the literary magazine during the 20th and 21st centuries and examine a dozen or so current literary arts journals in order to determine the role they play in developing contemporary literature.
The Carson Review invites current MMC students to submit poetry, fiction, creative nonfiction, short dramatic works, and cover art. Upon production, the department hosts an annual party and reading to celebrate the newest edition.
Each year, the English and World Literatures department recognizes three pieces published in The Carson Review with awards named for distinguished former faculty members including the Joseph P. Clancy Award in Poetry, the Dymphna Leonard Award for Fiction, and the John Costello Award for Creative Nonfiction.

Лібертаріанство за один урок () — книга американського політика Девіда Бергланда (; 04.06.1935 — 03.06.2019), опублікована вперше у 1984 році, здійснено 9 видань (2005 р.).

Девід Бергланд — американський політик, який був висунутий Лібертаріанською партією Сполучених Штатів кандидатом на посаду президента США на виборах у 1984 році.

У книзі коротко викладаються основи лібертаріанської філософії, аналізуються історичні події і пропонуються конкретні шляхи розв'язання багатьох проблем, які сучасна держава вирішити не здатна.

Автор виводить усю лібертаріанську ідеологію з базового принципу лібертаріанства — принципу власності на самого себе, або суверенітету особистості. З лібертаріанських позиції розглядаються такі важливі суспільні проблеми як зовнішня політика, зовнішня торгівля, національна оборона, тероризм. Обґрунтовується підхід до оподаткування як до крадіжки, розглядаються проблеми освіти, охорони здоров'я, «сухого закону», соціального забезпечення, екології та інші. У останній главі книги автор дає практичні рекомендації з розв'язання цих проблем з лібертаріанських позицій.

Книга перекладена з англійською на російську на замовлення Лібертаріанської партії Росії, перекладач Антон Ньюмарк.

Книга є однією з базових для ознайомлення з основними ідеями лібертаріанства.

Home>Campaigns>Here are the candidates for legislative redistricting tiebreaker. There are no matches
Former New Jersey Supreme Court Chief Justice James Zazzali, left, and former U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security Michael Chertoff.
Here are the candidates for legislative redistricting tiebreaker. There are no matches
Former Chief Justice, ex-Homeland Security Secretary are among 11 names submitted by both parties
By David Wildstein, August 17 2021 12:19 pm
There are no matches for the 11th member of the New Jersey Legislative Apportionment Commission, leaving Chief Justice Stuart Rabner to pick the tiebreaker – unless both parties are able to come to an agreement after seeing each other's names.
The list of eleven names – eight from the Democratic side and three from the Republicans – includes former federal and state judges, three college professors, and a former cabinet member who served under governors from both parties, the New Jersey Globe has learned.
The names – former U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security Michael Chertoff, former New Jersey Supreme Court Chief Justice James Zazzali, former U.S. District Court Judges William Bassler and John Lifland, former state Supreme Court Justice Virginia Long, former acting Supreme Court Justice Mary Catherine Cuff, former Superior Court Judge Daniel Mecca, former Commissioner of Human Services Jennifer Velez, retired Rutgers professor Henry Coleman, Seton Hall Law School professor Paula Franzese, and Seton Hall political science professor Matt Hale – will be submitted today by both parties Stewart Pollock, a retired state Supreme Court Justice.
Republicans submitted Chertoff, Bassler and Lifland.
Had there been a match, Rabner had indicated he would be likely to pick that person.
Unlike the process of selecting a congressional redistricting tiebreaker – which required both parties to vote and put an election between the top two vote-getters before the full Supreme Court — the State Constitution gives the chief justice the authority to appoint the legislative redistricting tiebreaker without any strings attached.
Rabner has indicated that he would not review the list of names being submitted, a move that might allow him to pick someone on one of the two lists without knowledge that they were there.
The Democratic list included four women, one Black man and one Latina. The GOP list consists of three white men who all served as federal judges.
Earlier this month, the Supreme Court picked the Democratic candidate for tiebreaker on congressional redistricting, former Supreme Court Justice John Wallace.
The U.S. Census Bureau released population data for use in redistricting last week. For the purposes of redrawing legislative districts, population numbers will be rejiggered by Thursday to reflect original hometowns of people currently incarcerated in state prisons and county jails.
Neither party has formally submitted their names to Pollock. Today is the deadline set by Rabner, who granted a one week extension, and the list could change before it is transmitted.
Bassler, 83, served as a U.S. District Court Judge from 1991 to 2006. He was nominated to the Superior Court by Gov. Thomas Kean in 19888 and then to a federal judgeship by President George H.W. Bush in 1991.
Chertoff, 67, was the U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security under President George W. Bush from 2005 to 2009. He is a former judge of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 3rd Circuit and was the U.S. Attorney for New Jersey from 1990 to 1994. He also served as an Assistant U.S. Attorney General.
Coleman, 72, is a professor emeritus at the Edward J. Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy ay Rutgers University.

Seeking Petroleum Contaminated Brownfields Sites
We need your help! You know your community and we're asking you to help us identify potential petroleum contaminated Brownfields properties as candidates for the SWRPC Brownfields Assessment Program. Brownfields properties are those properties whose successful re-use or redevelopment is hindered by real or perceived contamination. Current, past or even historic motor vehicle fueling retailers or bulk petroleum (such as heating oil) distributors would be obvious petroleum brownfield candidates. Sometimes commercial properties whose proximity to a known or suspected petroleum contaminated site has been a hindrance to the successful sale, re-use, or redevelopment of that property. Often such properties have been listed as "for sale" for years, becoming underutilized and in visible decline. The intent of the Brownfields assessment program is to better understand and quantify the environmental issue(s) associated with a property and put that potential issues into real terms by removing unknowns for potential buyers/developers. Often this is the information that is needed to move sites forward and create a successful project that will benefit the community. For more information or to suggest a candidate property, please contact J. B. Mack of Commission staff.
Regional Energy Forum
On March 22, 2017, the Greater Keene Chamber of Commerce (GKCC) and SWRPC co-sponsored a forum entitled The Energy Challenge in the Monadnock Region: What is it? What can we do? This event, part of the GKCC Regional Issues Series, featured an overview of energy issues and a panel discussion. Dr. Michael B. Mooiman, Associate Professor at the College of Graduate and Professional Studies at Franklin Pierce University, served as the keynote speaker and spoke on the growing energy demand in the U.S., New England and New Hampshire as well as the need to reduce energy consumption and invest in energy efficiency. The event concluded with a panel discussion focused on key energy issues and solutions. Panelists included Brian Boardman of Whelen Engineering; Kate Epsen of the New Hampshire Clean Tech Council; Rodney Bartlett, Peterborough Town Manager; and Katherine Peters, Energy Efficiency Consultant for Eversource. For more information, please contact Raul Gonzalez of Commission staff.

Congestion Mitigation Air Quality Grant Program
For the first time ever, the longstanding federal transportation program, Congestion Mitigation Air Quality (CMAQ), will be open to communities statewide. The program was previously available only to communities in southeastern New Hampshire. The two-year $13 million program provides funding for transportation projects or programs that improve ozone, carbon monoxide and particulate matter air quality. Eligible projects include capital or operational transit investments, alternative fuel projects, projects that improve traffic flow, transportation focused bicycle and pedestrian improvements, and the installation of advanced truck stop electrification systems. The upcoming CMAQ round is expected to be announced in late spring or early summer. To discuss project ideas or gather more information about the program, please contact J. B. Mack of Commission staff.

ORC: Master Bedroom Makeover, Week 4 - Real life, on purpose.
All caps and extra exclamation points are absolutely necessary here. Don't question me. My poor sweet books have been overcrowded and/or homeless for far too long. And I know David is getting real tired of the piles in the corner.
Speaking of David, can I just brag on him for a minute? I love being married to this guy, and not just because he's handsome and funny and smart and a great dad. Homeboy can make just about anything. I show him a picture of what I want and he's like, "Yeah, sure, no problem!" And then he goes and welds and saws and drills and sands and paints and beautiful things magically appear.
He made these, guys. With his hands. Like a boss. And I'm so pleased with how they turned out. They fill the space without being visually heavy, which is just what I wanted. Even without books and things in place, the shelves make our room feel so much more intentional. Like we aren't just sleeping there, we actually live there. Does that make sense?
As soon as the paint is fully cured I can start loading them up. That's the fun part! Styling shelves is one of my favorite things. I don't know how good I am at it, but I enjoy it, so who cares?
Given David's hectic work schedule (he left at 4:45 AM yesterday, poor man) I'm not sure how likely we are to get a headboard and bed put together in the next two weeks. That's okay, though. The shelving alone has made a huge difference.
I've (finally) rolled out the rug, put new bedding on, and am shopping for throw pillows, a chair, and new hardware for the dresser. Bed aside, it's now mostly a matter of tying everything together and making it look finished.
Incidentally, I need opinions on colors. Everything is pretty neutral right now but I always need a few pops color in my life. Poppy red? Citron? Kelly green? Cobalt? All of the above? (I kid. Mostly. I make no promises.) What do you think?
Also, I have only a few pieces of art reserved for the room and I'm not sure they're what I want in there anymore. David says he's bored of the giraffe batik–something he picked up in Kenya years ago–so they'll probably move into the baby's room. I adore the abstract, but it might not be working for me in that room. Maybe I'll put it in the girls' room? Or the living room? Really it would be fine almost anywhere in our house. The only one I'm certain of is this print from Clara Elsaesser that I am a leeeetle bit obsessed with. What do you think? We need something in here…but what?
If I don't get it all done before the One Room Challenge ends, that's okay. This challenge has been the perfect motivation for me to get the ball rolling, and right now I'm really really happy with how things are coming together. For me, that's enough.
Meanwhile, I need your input! 1) What bright color should I be throwing around the room to punch it up? And 2) what are your favorite art resources? Any favorite artists or works that I should check out?
Head on over to Calling It Home to see how everyone else is doing this week! I'm also linking up over at Decor To Adore's "Thoughts of Home on Thursday" which is chock full of more inspiration, so you may want to stop by there too!
Also? TWENTY ONE BALLOONS!!!! I love love love love LOVE that book!!!
Those art pieces are perfection.
Umm please send David to my house to build some bookshelves. Those are gorgeous!
latterdayhome.com has some really beautiful artwork. I love the Brian Kershisnik pieces the very best. Also, I vote for the poppy red. I love red as an accent color!
I do love me some Kershisnik. I'll have to see what I can find.
When you have a husband who is willing to pitch in and help with your projects it's the best! I love the artwork and see little pinks of pink in there maybe along with the green.
I look forward to next week's ORC update.
I love your vibrant attitude and mindset.
I can tell that your home is fabulous!
Loved having you at TOHOT!
Thanks Jemma! I'm not always so upbeat about unfinished projects but I sure try!
Love those shelves! I am a bit late to the TOHOT party this week due to my college semester finals but I'm so glad that I didn't miss this. Have a wonderful week.

A booster from SpaceX's Falcon Heavy Rocket may have survived space, but it toppled over after landing on a platform out at sea, The Verge reports. "Over the weekend, due to rough sea conditions, SpaceX's recovery team was unable to secure the center core booster for its return trip to Port Canaveral," SpaceX told The Verge in a statement. The Falcon Heavy rocket, which consists of three boosters, took off Thursday on its first commercial flight. All of the boosters returned to Earth safely after the rocket's flight. But the center core — a modified Falcon 9 booster — landed on a platform at sea, where the company says choppy conditions caused it to topple over."As conditions worsened with 8- to 10-foot swells, the booster began to shift and ultimately was unable to remain upright," SpaceX told The Verge. "While we had hoped to bring the booster back intact, the safety of our team always takes precedence. We do not expect future missions to be impacted." Here's an image of the Falcon Heavy booster out at sea:This wouldn't be the sea's first time claiming a SpaceX rocket. On the Falcon Heavy's maiden flight in February 2018, the center core missed the landing pad, falling into the ocean. SpaceX has a robot, called the "octagrabber," that is designed for securing parts of its rockets. CEO Elon Musk said on Twitter, however, that the attachment fixtures on the booster were slightly different from those on the standard Falcon 9 booster, so the octagrabber could not be readied in time. Musk added that the engines might still be salvaged.

SHARE Hunting Historics At Laguna Seca
Hunting Historics At Laguna Seca
Trevor Yale Ryan
30th August 2017 22 Comments
The Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion
Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca. With the first race being held here in 1957, the iconic California track recently celebrated its 60th birthday in very appropriate fashion: the Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion.
With hundreds of legendary classic machines descending onto the track during Monterey Car Week 2017, what better way to spend your weekend.
The weekend was doubly special for me as the following week would mark exactly four years since I purchased my first camera. After reading a photography article on Speedhunters by Paddy, I took the plunge and selected (my wallet had a big say in it) a used Canon 40D — despite its low price, it's a body that served me very well and one I still use from time to time. If you're thinking about pulling the trigger on a DSLR, take a look through the photo guide archives and dig up the very good advice that changed my life.
While that might seem a dramatic claim, numbers don't lie. After I made it home from the Historics I added up all the shots I've taken in the last four years. On this Saturday at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca I rolled past a total of 180,000 photos with some of my all-time favorite frames coming from this event. This number would likely be much higher if I hadn't started my engineering degree at the same time I picked up the 40D, but photography has undeniably become a huge part of my every day life.
Even though the vast majority of of these shots are probably relatively unusable, the process of taking all those photos has been an extremely educational experience. It's also taken me places I would have never gone otherwise and I've made some of my best friends in the process. I would encourage anyone on the fence to just go for it and pick up a camera; photography has a way of changing the way you look at the world.
I was up far before the sun to make the drive down from my home in the Bay Area to Monterey, but it was well worth it to beat the crowds and see the classics getting warmed up. The history of this track, the legendary cars running around the circuit, the eerie morning fog, the sound of turbocharged giants spitting fire. What more could you ask for?
Many of the cars that made their way around the tarmac this weekend actually raced here in years past, too — championships were decided in these very machines at this very place. In fact, this 1956 Ferrari 500 Testa Rossa driven by Pete Lovely was the first car to win a race at here Laguna Seca. Surrounding the Ferrari were a number of other amazing historic vehicles, housed in a temporary structure that read 'Racing Through The Decades.'
This miniature museum took us from that '56 Testa Rossa all the way up to the 2016 Pirelli World Challenge championship-winning car, a McLaren 650S GT3 that clinched its title at this track. Other greats included the stunning V12 BMW LMR, a Boss 302, the gorgeous 1973 Porsche 917/30 (notice the placard says it makes a staggering 1,500hp), the dominant '93 Toyota Eagle MkIII, and more. They even snuck a 1990 Yamaha YRZ500 into the mix. I could have easily spent an hour in this one small building but there was so much more to see around the paddock.
The early hours were quiet and calm at the track. Huge-hearted monsters lurked silently under car covers, waiting for their moment in the spotlight; owners and mechanics began milling about, preparing for the day ahead. I likewise took some time to prepare my gear and read up on a bit of the background of the racetrack while cars were being uncovered.
In 1950, about 15 miles West of where Laguna Seca resides today, the Pebble Beach Road Races began. As they rapidly grew in popularity, the races likewise became increasingly dangerous, especially as the spectators had nowhere to watch except right in the run-off. When you consider that the race was essentially held on an old highway that snaked through the forest, it was a recipe for disaster.
Sadly, six years after the start of the Pebble Beach races, a Ferrari 121 LM piloted by Ernie McAfee lost traction, slid off the course, and slammed into a tree. The driver did not survive and the races were discontinued. However, the popularity of the road races coupled with the tourism (money) it brought into the area could not be ignored, and a non-profit group known as the Sports Car Racing Association of the Monterey Peninsula (SCRAMP, whose leadership has been under question in recent years) was born to keep racing alive in the area.
The land where Laguna Seca was built was originally owned by the US Army, who supported the racing venture and leased the property to SCRAMP. Construction started in September of 1957 and was completed in an astounding 60-day timeframe. Two months and some days after the construction workers broke ground at the site, the first race was held. On November 9th and 10th of 1957 nearly 40,000 people traveled to the brand new venue to watch over 100 cars battle it out.
While several corners and a hairpin have been added over the years to lengthen the track, the aura of the course is still very much the same. Born from a desire to safely cruise the mountain passes at speed, Laguna Seca is highly technical, featuring elevation changes, long sweepers followed by sharp corners, double apexes, and a famous S-turn. It's a great place for experienced drivers and amateurs alike to hone their skills.
Down The Corkscrew
Before we move through the day at the track, it's worth pointing out Mazda Raceway's ultimate feature: The Corkscrew. For those with a bit of experience in road racing or familiarity with canyon roads, you know that one of the most exciting and dynamic situations is a change in elevation.
Your car begins to behave much differently on a slope; you can brake later on the uphill and must do so far earlier if you're heading down into an apex. Likewise, the power, grip, and movement of the car are much different through an elevation change, especially when going around a curve at the same time.
It's this dynamism that has made the Corkscrew such a famed couple of corners, namely Turn 8 and 8A. It's roughly 450 feet (137m) from the left-hand turn-in to the right-hand exit, during which the track drops 59 feet (18m). I've ridden along for a few laps and at the top of T8 the road simply seems to vanish — for inexperienced drivers the 18 percent slope is very intimidating. After a handful of times through the corner you begin to trust it; if you brake just so and turn in at the proper moment the camber of the course helps hug you into the apexes.
The lead-up into the Corkscrew isn't quite as straightforward as it looks on paper, though, so I'll take a moment to walk you through the drive up to the big drop. As with many corners in road racing, drifting, or even canyon carving, the set-up for T8 takes place a couple curves beforehand. We can see Mika Häkkinen going left through Turn 6 here in a McLaren M23 and starting the climb up the hill. Depending on the quality of your entry into Turn 6 and your exit speed up the steep Rahal Straight, this is a prime place to pass or be passed.
It's also worth noting that the Rahal Straight isn't exactly straight, but curves left and then right as you approach the crest. At the peak, Turn 7 is a slight right-hand kink with an apex at the highest elevation on the course. Depending on the car you're driving you've likely already been off the throttle and on the brakes by this point, and it's here where cars from different eras tend to take different lines. It's also a spot where you can easily get caught out; experienced drivers can dive in on the left while you're setting up for the Corkscrew.
The turn-in is a sharp, blind left followed by as much acceleration as you can squeeze out of the tires through the sweeping right-hander. This completes the S-turn, as you can see the five-time Le Mans-winning Audi LMP900 doing here. When you get it right is a great feeling, but get it wrong and the consequences can be quite drastic. There were a few offs and cars sliding through the Corkscrew on Saturday, but nothing catastrophic — there are enough crash compilations around the web to see how badly it can turn out, though.
While I could only be at the track on Saturday, it was a good day to make it. The schedule made time a great variety of cars to light up the circuit, much to the excitement of the growing crowds. Included were sports racing and touring cars from the early 1900s up to the '50s, FIA Manufacturers Championship, GT, AAGT, and IMSA GTP groups, among others. These are cars I've been wanting to see for years and I wasn't the only one; spectators traveled from around the globe to watch this great motoring spectacle in person.
The morning fog began to burn off and the buzz in the paddock grew as the mob made their way through the gate and the wraps came off some gorgeous machinery. While it was an experience seeing the cars all shined up in the paddock, everyone was itching for them to start tackling the tarmac — specators lined the fences and jockeyed for a clear shot of the track.
Officially first up would be the Pre-1940 Sports Racing and Touring Cars, followed by 1927-1951 Racing cars. It takes some major gumption to drive these things at speed, and it seems none of that was lacking this weekend. There was very little carnage in the morning sessions, but not everyone made it out unscathed. With wobbly wheels far more narrow than a modern sports bike's (and sometimes less than four, either on purpose or not), it seems the margin for error is very small.
This particular 1929 Bentley Speed 6 with a 4.5-liter engine was so fast back in its day that the team engineers had to beg their drivers to slow down during the race that year in Le Mans. While it's hard to imagine this giant being the pinnacle of speed, it certainly is great to look at today. Cars like this are rich in history and character — it's reassuring in a certain way to see them driven spiritedly.
I also rather liked how the schedule, for the most part, was chronological so that you could watch the technological advances in the cars as the day went on. Next up were sports racing cars with engines over 2000cc from 1955-1961 and GT cars from the '40s and '50s. These cars were notably louder than the previous groups, and the crowd was settling in knowing the racing was ramping up.
The '70s And Beyond
It's startling to see the progression over the years and you notice how much more quickly the cars start lapping. The bodywork began to lend itself to the higher speeds and by the '80s full-body aero was very much a driving force in the designs. The Can Am class was huge and full of cars that used to race this circuit. Being small and nimble, they were very fun to watch as there was plenty of passing and late braking. But next in the chronological order was a class I was looking forward to even more.
The 'FIA, IMSA, GT, GTX, AAGT' group which included everything from Kremer Porsches and BMW Procars to Mazdas and Monzas was likely the most aggressive bunch of guys to drive all day long. With stiff competition across the board, lots of intrusive and daring passing happened in the 40 minutes (two 20-minute stints) of track time these gentlemen saw.
The improvements in the later models over their ancestors was simply undeniable. The acceleration, the brakes, the suspension, the aerodynamics, and even the ease of use. As you likely noticed, many of the older cars had a very upright seating position, lap belts, and an array of unreliable gauges to glance at. This, however, was the era where every little detail could make a difference and all of these items were vastly improved.
Another huge advancement that many enthusiasts often overlook until they start making timed runs or getting competitive with friends on the backroads is the rubber underneath it all. Nearly quadrupling in width throughout the century, the compounds also improved drastically until the cars were so fast that regulations had to be made to slow them down. As with today's technological battles in Formula 1, the situation has always been the same to some extent in all of racing.
Engineers battling with the rule-makers and engineers of other teams to find a few tenths of a second here and there to be more competitive. It's these extremely tight margins that push technology and make autosport so exciting. And one of the most exciting groups was still to come, but we'll save the IMSA GTP cars for after a paddock stroll.
Hiding In The Paddock
Scattered around the inside of the course were hundreds of makeshift garages stuffed full of all the great, classic machinery. These cars are staggeringly beautiful the closer you get to them. You notice all the timeless little details that contribute to the raw feel of the hand-drawn designs from decades past, details that aren't included in the same way on modern-day vehicles.
While the shape of cars at the top of motorsport today seem to be driven entirely by aerodynamics, practically entirely designed by computers in some instances, this was certainly not the case just a few decades ago. While I'm primarily griping about Formula 1 cars today versus how they looked before the 2000s, all race cars are affected to an extent.
A perfect example of this was found in a pit garage Ford had claimed. Inside was a race-winning GT40 next to the 2016 Le Mans-winning Ford GT. While the GT is undeniably a beautiful car both in race and street guise, it just doesn't have the same spirit as its older version. Both were great to see side by side, and other manufacturers brought some cars to display as well.
Acura had an IMSA prototype car for the 2018 season on display along with a full carbon NSX GT3 parked in a garage with Audi and Jaguar also contributing to the cars on show.
Further down pit lane, Ferrari brought along a few relatively modern race cars and a handful of trophies to admire. A very Ferrari thing to do indeed.
On my way back to the track I spotted another GT40 parked up in the grass. Maybe I'm becoming biased, but this chassis has to be one of my all-time favorite cars. The ride height, the sleek bodywork, the color schemes, the story behind these cars — it's all the stuff of motorsport legend.
Being in a another Ford area, I found a different Ferrari hunter: the Shelby Daytona. The body of this car was designed by Pete Brock in a matter of weeks and sat over an AC Cobra's drivetrain; six cars were built and in 1965 the hot-rodders took down mighty Ferrari, who had won 10 out of the last 12 FIA GT class championships in the World Sportscar series.
While I'm back on the topic of Ferrari, I noticed this incredible 1957 250 Testa Rossa prototype throughout the day. Housing a 60-degree V12 howling out side-piped headers I just couldn't get enough of this car. With the capability to rev the 12 cylinders over 7000rpm and making over 300 horsepower in the '50s, this engine and car are a testament to Ferrari's design prowess.
I nearly made it back onto the course without getting distracted again when I spotted this lovely BMW 8 Series in the parking lot. I remembered spotting a McLaren P1 earlier in the day and found it amusing that I took the time to snap a few shots of this car while I ignored the McLaren — RMMR is one event where the P1 almost seems out of place. I'm sure there were plenty of other gems hiding in the lot, but I was about to miss the races starting back up.
While there were plenty of goodies off the track, I did finally get back on course in time to see the heats that counted. This was gentleman's racing, of course, but that doesn't mean that the drivers didn't have something to prove. Despite the rarity of the cars on track they were being driven right to the edge, particularly in that 1970s-1980s FIA/IMSA/GT group.
During most of the races the lead swapped around a good bit, but there were a few cars that lapped quite a large percentage of the field. This Gulf Mirage was one of them, and an excellent thing to look at, too. I'm not sure exactly what it is about every single Gulf-liveried car I've ever seen but they are all quite photogenic.
To get back to an important topic I skipped over earlier, the final race of the day would be one of the most anticipated: the IMSA GTP cars. It's hard to pick an overall favorite run group and harder yet to single out any one car but something about these prototypes was seriously special. It was an era in racing where while all the cars really began to have a similar shape, they still each filled it out in their own very unique way.
A likely favorite were the Porsches, and not just because they had a penchant for shooting flames out the back end. The aesthetics of these 962s are absolutely timeless and the extreme functionality just makes them great to watch; practically the entire thing is a giant wing searching for grip and speed.
Dominating the field, though, and lapping what seemed like almost every GTP opponent was the #99 Toytota Eagle. It's worth mentioning these cars had a very impressive record from 1991-1993 with 21 wins in 27 races. This is another car that I never thought I'd have the opportunity to see racing, and just one more reason the Rolex Motorsports Reunion is so worth making it out to.
The title sponsor of the track, Mazda, had their (obviously) rotary-powered 1985 Argo-Mazda JM19 IMSA Prototype Lights three-time Championship winner out on the course along with the '86 Group C 757. Also on track was the all-mighty four-rotor '89 Group C 767B, another car that I had never even seen in person, let alone heard running at speed. And after the racing was finished for the day, a pleasant surprise awaited those who stuck around in the pits.
Mazda fired up all seven rotary-powered cars they brought to the event for a grand finale of motoring greatness. Really, from directly behind the 767B it sounded like many more than seven cars making all the ruckus; such is the duty of a buzzing Wankel engine after all.
With one last cruise through the pits, I finally had to call it quits as the cars went back under wraps. This is definitely an event I'll be planning for next year, and if at all possible, you ought to as well.

Truly amazing photos here, well done. You've gained a lot of skill in 4 years. Question: what is your focal length of choice for the high speed panning shots? You do seem far away, but the details and features surrounding the track (even people) are compressed together in really nice compositions. 300mm? Thanks!
12:01 pmAugust 31, 2017 Trevor Ryan
Thank you Miguel! Yes, many of the pans were around 300mm, although specific settings I used aren't necessarily going to transfer over to any other situations.
I've found a good starting point for safe shots is to go a bit below your focal length and use that as your shutter speed (i.e. 1/250th @ 300mm or 1/160th @ 200mm). Then push it from there til you're comfortable around 1/20 - 1/60th, or whatever looks good to you!

Passwords Are Obsolete, Get With the Blockchain
Before checking your email, Instagram, or bank account, the one thing that you likely do first is enter your password. This amounts to little more than muscle memory because most people have already absorbed their passwords into their brains just as they do a relative's birthday or their favorite athlete's scoring statistics.
For any number of reasons, when it comes to their devices, many people choose not to use passwords at all, either because they think they have nothing valuable on their computers or because in their eyes, a hack is unlikely. Others justify a bare minimum password, which could mean setting their laptop's start screen credentials to "123456," reusing an old login, or doing so with minor alterations.
This type of negligence might not have borne consequences yet, but is quite dangerous to leave unaddressed. Ask yourself a simple question: how similar is that password to the one protecting your truly treasured materials? Unfortunately, the answer is usually that they're almost identical.
Humans have a hard time remembering strong passwords for each of their favorite applications, platforms, and accounts, so if they aren't identical, then they're often quite similar. Few have the memory required to contain tens of long-tail phrases, and this represents an immense security risk as computing technology gets more powerful. Thankfully, one of blockchain's most pertinent uses will render these concepts obsolete.
What's Wrong With Passwords?
Taking a strong password and altering it slightly isn't a bad deterrent for humans trying to break into your device, but it's not humans doing the breaching. Using passwords requires that we remember them, which automatically means that they're simple enough for most computers to guess, given enough time. (See also: Can Bitcoin Be Hacked?)
Computers and their powerful algorithms can use brute-force tactics to guess thousands of potential letter and number combinations in seconds, so it doesn't matter how clever you think your password is. However, an easily guessed password represents the lowest-hanging fruit for most fraudsters. There are many other ways they can get their hands on it, and from there, access to the rest of your accounts and assets.
Phishing emails are designed to look like those sent by legitimate institutions, and might prompt you to "change" your password, or install keylogging software that spies on the keys you press. Regardless of how they go about it, all these methods are designed to capture your password and then discover a bread crumb trail to your other sensitive information. This is a threat to individuals, surely, but for enterprise companies which still use passwords for work terminals, the risk is even greater. (See also: What Is a "Phishing Scam" and How Can They Be Avoided?)
When it comes down to it, the real problem with passwords is that they still exist. However, there were few alternatives available until blockchain began to show signs of maturity a short time ago. (See also: Cyber Wars: How The U.S. Stock Market Could Get Hacked.)
Credentials Courtesy of Blockchain
Blockchain is now spreading through the technology mainstream like wildfire, with developers and businesspeople alike in wonder over its powerful, decentralized methodology. One of the first proposed applications of blockchain was to create something called a self-sovereign ID, which employs cryptography and network cohesion to change how people identify themselves online.
The bottom-most layer of blockchain is the public ledger which records all transactions of data on its network and shares it in real-time between active nodes. However, there is no central authority to organize it. Instead, algorithmic consensus determines the veracity of transactions and their order on the ledger, creating a type of shared authority over what happens on the network.
Additionally, blockchain employs the highest standards of cryptography to create a layer between one's public blockchain address and their real identity. A user is assigned one single private ID, which is paired to the public ID that represents themselves on the chain.
When they receive data, in the form of a cryptocurrency trade or message, for example, the recipient must use their private ID to access it. This dual-layered defense means that hackers are without a way to corrupt the network—thanks to decentralization—but also without a method of tying identifying information to any single transaction or account.
Putting Next-Generation Passwords Through Their Paces
Blockchain startups are already hard at work to put the idea of self-sovereign ID into practice, helping make passwords a thing of the past. Companies like SelfKey are using this new authentication paradigm to offer citizens in any country a standardized way to apply for and verify important documents across borders. Other companies like LastPass, which stores encrypted passwords in private accounts, have been attracting users in the last few years.
Applying for passports, opening a bank account, starting a charity and other common processes are more easily managed when an individual owns their own digital ID, and can use it freely and safely no matter how disparate the components of their livelihood.
REMME is a next-generation access protection — and whose token sale reached its hard cap of $20 million in February — distills the most important ideas of blockchain into a streamlined application that has a single, powerful purpose: the ability to log in to any service more securely, especially because passwords aren't involved. Instead, the REMME blockchain stores a user's unique device certificates on its decentralized network, so that when they want to log in to a web property or application, they simply need to click the REMME button to login. The application checks the ledger to verify that the correct device certificate is pinging for entry, and immediately grants entry into the account.
Two-factor authentication strengthens the deal, so if a user conceivably wants to get into their bank account, for example, they'd need to press the button on their bank's page but also confirm from their phone. Such a service is leagues ahead of current-generation password managers like LastPass or NoPassword, and is already gaining notoriety in the marketplace.
These are some of the most evolved examples available of how blockchain is revolutionizing the idea of digital credentials. No longer will users need to reconcile their own memory with their safety, and neither will they entrust their login information to centralized authorities. What results is a more secure technique for managing our digital existence, and a simple product that combats existing exploits in a streamlined package. With these kinds of solutions on the horizon, it's only a matter of time before hacks like the one perpetrated against Equifax's servers last year exist only in the dustbin of history. (See more: Was I Hacked? Find Out If the Equifax Breach Affects You.)
