University of California President Janet Napolitano will make a special appearance at the ceremony, which takes place on Saturday, February 2, at Hotel Nia.
Yellen, who headed the Federal Reserve from 2014 to 2018, will receive an award that recognizes individuals of exceptionally distinguished achievement whose work and contribution to society exemplify the vision and ideals of UC Santa Cruz.
UC Santa Cruz economics professor and alumnus Michael Hutchison (Merrill '76, economics) described Yellen as a brilliant economist, teacher and mentor.
"Janet Yellen embodies all of the best personal characteristics associated with the UC Santa Cruz Foundation Medal-- a lifelong commitment to excellence in higher education and public service,'' Hutchison continued. "Her career as an economist, professor and policymaker in government service spans almost fifty years, and in each stage she has enlightened, inspired and challenged those around her."
She is also noted for her patient, measured, and accessible explanations of monetary policy while being a thoughtful leader of the Federal Reserve.
"Perhaps the most challenging task of her career to date has been leading the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, both as Vice Chair and Chair, during 2010-2018," Hutchison said. "She took the reins at the Board when the nation was in deepest recession since the 1930s, as the Federal Reserve was struggling to get the economy moving and financial system back on its feet. She ended her stint eight years later with a booming economy, very low unemployment and a robust financial and banking system, all the while threading a delicate path between establishing a robust economy without igniting inflation."
During her tenure on the Fed, some considered her the most powerful and influential woman in America.
Before becoming the first woman to head the Federal Reserve, she served as vice chair of the Federal Reserve, CEO and president of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, chair of the White House Council of Economic Advisors under President Bill Clinton, and professor at the Haas School of Business at UC Berkeley.
Yellen also has a long association with the University of California, and has worked closely with UC Santa Cruz economics faculty. As president of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco from 2004 to 2010, she was very supportive of UC Santa Cruz's Santa Cruz Institute for International Economics, and the SF Fed co-sponsored several of its economic conferences. In 2006, she delivered the conference's keynote address, "Monetary Policy in a Global Environment."
Carl Walsh, UC Santa Cruz distinguished professor of economics and an expert on central banking and monetary policy, counts Yellen as an important influence on his research. Walsh said that her work, in conjunction with Yellen's husband and frequent co-author George Akerlof, contributed to the understanding of economic fluctuations and unemployment.
Yellen's academic contributions, especially her studies on unemployment, were directly relevant to policy issues she faced while heading the Federal Reserve during the recovery from the Great Recession of 2008–09, Walsh noted.
"Her understanding of the costs of excessive unemployment was crucial in ensuring the Fed, under her leadership, adopted a slow and steady pace for raising interest rates that allowed unemployment to continue to fall to levels not seen since the late 1960s," Walsh said.
Registration is available for this special event, which begins at 6:30 p.m. with a reception. The program starts at 7:30 p.m, and will be followed by a dessert reception. Tickets, which cost $100 per person, are limited. Sponsor packages are also available.

Q: Active Record has_many :through remove one associated record This may be a very basic oversight on my part, but I can't seem to recall a simple method for removing an association between two objects joined via has_many :through. IE:
class Photo
  has_many :tags, :through => :taggings
  has_many :taggings, :dependent => :destroy
end

class Tags
  has_many :photos, :through => :taggings
  has_many :taggings, :dependent => :destroy
end

class Taggings
  belongs_to :photo
  belongs_to :tag
end

If you have two objects, tag and photo, you can associate them just by doing this:
photo.tags << tag

So, is there an equally simple opposite to this? ie:
photo.tags.remove tag

A: here's what you want:
photo.tags.delete(tag)

Developing a blueprint for TBM mine access 16 Oct 2014
Peter Kenyon, TunnelTalk
The relationship between civil tunnelling and the mining sector has traditionally been an uneasy one. But a joint venture partnership between leading Australian civil tunnelling contractor, McConnell Dowell, and Australia's largest coal mining contractor, Mastermyne, is looking to change traditional mining industry approaches and attitudes towards excavation and tunnel lining methodologies. David Sibthorpe, senior manager in McConnell Dowell's Tunnel & Underground Business, heads a new civil/mining joint venture that has spent two years developing a standardised TBM and concrete lining solution for full face excavation of drift tunnels for the Australian coal mining sector. Peter Kenyon reports for TunnelTalk.
Historically, the number of TBMs used to excavate drift access tunnels for the coal industry has been low. The recent decision by Anglo American to engage a Robbins EPBM for full face excavation of 2 x 1,000m access tunnels at its Grosvenor Mine Project in Queensland, Australia, however, signals a possible departure from the more normal preference among mine owners for roadheader excavation supported by rockbolt/mesh/sprayed concrete lining of limited 10-year design life.
To date there is only one other example of a TBM being utilised in Australia for excavation of a surface-to-seam access tunnel – the West Cliff Mine drive in New South Wales in the 1970s. However, the lining on that project featured a standard rockbolt/mesh/shotcrete configuration, making the Grosvenor Mine tunnel drives – the first of which was completed successfully last month – a potentially important first for the integration of TBM and segmental lining techniques.
There are those in the civil tunnelling construction and TBM manufacturing industries who believe that now - more than ever before - the mining industry may be ready to reevaluate old principles and look seriously at full face excavation solutions. Which is why well-respected Australian civil tunnelling contractor McConnell Dowell has invested heavily over the last two years developing a "one-size-fits-all" design solution, not only for the excavation of drift access surface-to-seam tunnels, in-seam tunnels and vertical shafts, but also for ventilation and tunnel lining as part of an overall design package. A kind of "off-the-peg" civil tunnelling solution that offers two attractive benefits: the potential to open up mine production three times faster than roadheader excavations, and longer design-life tunnels that are safer and less expensive to maintain.
8m Robbins EPBM for Grosvenor Mine access
One of the major obstacles in the way of consistent application of TBM technology for mine access is, quite simply, cost. At US$15-30 million for a new TBM, the unit price for excavating what might often be just 1,000-2,000m of heading is all-too-frequently regarded as prohibitive. McConnell Dowell, of course, is aware of this, but believes that by investing in a small number of standardised blueprint designs, and TBMs/VSMs that are bespoke to the specific needs of the coal mining industry, it can cut operating costs dramatically. Its business model, drawn up in joint venture with leading Australian coal mining contractor Mastermyne (who together form MDMJV) removes the client's project risk of having to assume full TBM cost for what are potentially short drives. By retaining the machinery to deliver future mine projects for future mine-owning clients, the MDMJV also assumes responsibility for post-project storage, transportation and disposal logistics.
MDMJV has appointed leading German TBM manufacturer Herrenknecht as preferred supplier for a machine that will be capable of delivering full face excavation of in-seam (IS) tunnels and roadways – a long-term market which, according to McConnell Dowell (MD) tunnel manager David Sibthorpe, who heads the MDMJV, has "huge potential for hundreds of kilometres a year." In the nearer term the JV is collaborating with a number of suppliers for design of the surface-to-seam (S2S) drift access TBM, which Sibthorpe believes has a potential annual market of "thousands of metres per year." Broadly speaking it will be a modified 8m diameter rock TBM.
Flat invert TBM for in-seam excavation
"MDMJV have appointed Herrenknecht as preferred machine supplier for the in-seam machine only," Sibthorpe told TunnelTalk from Australia. "The effort they made in providing engineering solutions to our preference for a machine capable of delivering a flat invert made this a logical move. The surface-to-seam machine development is ongoing with a few suppliers."
He added: "We have developed what we believe to be the optimum tunnel diameter, a lining configuration that incorporates a hexagonal segment system for rapid advance, and a machine specification that will suit most applications. We propose that delivery in a single pass, inclusive of the ventilated invert and flat roadway, is the best outcome for construction and future use of the drifts. Detailed review will be required of each application, however we are proposing a boiler-plate solution that fits within certain parameters, and will deliver repeatable results."
"We have researched what drift dimensions have been nominated over recent history, dating back more than 15 years, and developed a configuration that provides a clear opening above the roadway surface of 7m x 4m. This is large enough for current, and likely future, longwall components, and fits neatly within an 8m lined drive."
Mindful of the fact that future contracts are likely to include vertical shaft excavation MDMJV has engaged Herrenknecht, and another supplier, to develop to its own specification a suitable VSM solution. "There are two markets for this, one being the New South Wales market that currently wants 6m lined shafts unto 350m in depth, and the second is a Queensland version to cater for demand there for shafts of smaller diameter, around 4m, and to a much shallower depth of 200m only. Both these two systems are being developed."
Flat invert TBM tunnel profile
McConnell Dowell has been proposing TBM access for coal drifts for nearly 10 years now, and tendering for jobs on that basis – but with little success. "Lots of companies were interested, but everyone wanted to be second," said Sibthorpe. "We tendered a few TBM only drifts, none of which proceeded. It is our understanding that the Grosvenor drift was awarded on an alternative and originally tendered as a conventional drift also." Now that a first step towards acceptance of TBM methodology has been taken by Anglo American in Queensland, the MDMJV is hoping it has positioned itself well over the last few years to take advantage.
Sibthorpe said: "We aligned with Mastermyne on a conventional drift tender because I knew them by reputation. I could see that McConnell Dowell needed the sector credibility to secure work. We were seen by mine owners as the alternative, perhaps one to consider if the standard players were too busy, too small, or the job was too specialised. By joining with Mastermyne we became not just a standard player, with the credibility and culture; we became arguably the most robust player – with the McConnell $3bn turnover and TBM experience, combined with the Mastermyne coal reputation and track record."
"If you were a mine owner looking to contract out 500m of in-seam driveage there are probably a handful of Australian contractors to speak with; if you were looking to contract out 20,000m of in-seam driveage then Mastermyne stand alone. The have the in-seam contract market reputation for safe delivery, they have the training facilities, they have a services division that provides engineering and equipment, and they have the contacts. They open doors at the right level.
Vertical shaft excavation and lining
"Once we started tendering together we realised that the Tunnelling & Underground Business Unit of McConnell and Mastermyne were not so different, except for the fact our core businesses were different sectors. The management culture, the way we interact and communicate, and the way we respond to client requests and questions is very similar. It has been a great fit, and although untested on site to date I am very confident that it would continue to operate as it does now."
At this stage the venture is for Australia only, but Sibthorpe believes that TBM access projects will be financially viable, especially in countries where labour costs are high. "At this stage this venture is Australian only, until at least we develop a track record and can demonstrate efficiency and repeatability, then overseas markets can be investigated. The reason the Australian market is right for this is that the labour component on a drift project can be as high as 60% of project cost, so if you deliver them faster and with less manpower they are more efficient."
Overcoming mining industry antipathy towards civil tunnelling techniques remains a big challenge, but the long design life of segmentally lined tunnels is becoming a more attractive option for mine owners. "Convention remains to bolt/mesh/spray a drift knowing that periodically, say every 10 years, large sections will require remediation works. Anglo American had a catastrophic failure some years back that closed their mine for months, hence the Grosvenor zero-risk approach. We are asking mine owners to look at OPEX savings over the life of a mine in demonstration of value in spending CAPEX today; basically money is cheaper now than it will be in 10 or 20 years time. In this way a segmental lining, while more expensive, is actually better value."
McConnell Dowell, Mastermyne and Sibthorpe may soon be rewarded for their years of work developing a blueprint for an "off-the-peg" civil tunnelling solution for the mining industry. Following breakthrough on the first of the two TBM excavated drift tunnels at Grosvenor Mine, Anglo American Underground Construction Manager Adam Foulstone conceded that civil tunnelling was the "better methodology," adding: "Use of TBMs opens up a new chapter not just with Anglo American, but with the whole coal industry in Australia. Now we can draw up a new coal mine in less than a year, compared with two to three years if we use roadheaders. Anywhere we need to get men and materials into an underground environment is an opportunity to use a TBM".
McConnell Dowell is confident that teaming up with Mastermyne will increase its ability to break open the mining industry to civil tunnelling techniques, but Sibthorpe realises there is a hard sell ahead. "Once this method becomes the default, which i am confident it will, then mine planning and costing will include this technology, and then first coal will no longer be two or three years from site access, it could be less than one. The potential for the civil tunnelling industry is huge, but the challenges for us are great also, not least of which is the mindset within the mining industry that what is done now is acceptable and dependable."

Het standbeeld van Jan Hendrik Hofmeyr op het Kerkplein in Kaapstad is een sculptuur van de Zuid-Afrikaanse journalist en politicus Jan Hendrik Hofmeyr, liefkozend "Onze Jan" genoemd. Het is gebeeldhouwd door Anton van Wouw en werd op 5 juli 1920 onthuld.

Op de sokkel vermeldt een koperen plaat in het Nederlands:
Jan Hendrik Hofmeyr
[Onze Jan]
4 juli 1845 - 16 oktober 1909
Is het ons ernst

De laatste regel verwijst naar de titel die aan een toespraak werd gegeven die Hofmeyr in 1905 in Stellenbosch hield. Het was een pleidooi voor algemeen gebruik van het Nederlands in de Kaapkolonie, zowel in het openbare als in het privéleven, in het onderwijs en in de ambtenarij.

In april 2015 werd het standbeeld vernield als onderdeel van een brede campagne tegen standbeelden van figuren uit het koloniale tijdperk in Zuid-Afrika. Het voetstuk van het standbeeld werd daarbij bedekt met wit materiaal en de woorden: "Een zwarte vrouw heeft me opgevoed".

Movie Review: The Killing Fields (1984)
Who decided on the music? And how much did it harm the movie?
I'm not talking about the dissonant music we hear when the foreign journalists are in the clutches of the Khmer Rouge and fearing for their lives. That's obtrusive but appropriate: time out of joint, life upended. I'm talking about the music we hear after Dith Pran (Dr. Haing S. Ngor, who won the Oscar for best supporting) somehow secures their release, and they return to the city proper, with its increasing lawlessness and triumphant teenaged soldiers, and our guys are pushing along a small white truck but the camera lets them push it out of frame while it holds on the mass of Cambodians being herded out of Phnom Pehn—prefiguring mass relocation, reeducation, and, for many, death. That's when we get something out of western opera: medieval chants and bombast. At first I thought it was from an opera, but it appears to have been created for the soundtrack by Mike Oldfield. He was going old school, but old western school, which hardly seems appropriate. It's so over-the-top, silence would have been preferable.
Worse, of course, is the last song we hear, but I don't know if we blame Oldfield since he obviously didn't write it. (According to IMDb.com, we blame producer David Puttnam.)
So after years in the countryside, hoeing mud and being subjected to dissonant loudspeaker propaganda, not to mention a constant threat of torture and death; and after escaping one misery only to tromp through the titular killing fields and then land in another, as a kind of au pair for a benevolent KR leader; and after fleeing that situation with several others, two of whom die on a landmine, Pran finally makes it all the way to Thailand. He's working at a Red Cross station there when he's told someone has arrived to see him. Confused, he goes outside, and sees, half out of a car, his old boss/mentor/friend, and the film's co-star, New York Times journalist Sydney Schanberg (Sam Waterson, nominated, lead), who has been looking for him all of these years, plagued by the guilt that he didn't insist Pran leave when he had the chance.
And what's the music we hear during this powerful moment? "Imagine" by John Lennon.
Even when I saw the film as a 21-year-old in 1984, I all but slapped my forehead in disbelief. And that's the mood you take with you from the theater. It absolutely ruins the feeling it's spent two-plus hours cultivating.
They came from TV
I decided to watch "The Killing Fields" again after I saw the documentary, "The Killing Fields of Dr. Haing S. Ngor" at the Seattle International Film Festival this year. I thought it needed a rewatching. I remembered so little of it.
Mostly, I remembered that the movie was split into two parts: before the Khmer Rouge and after. A lot of waiting around in embassies in the first half, and the horror, the horror of the second. To be honest, in the rewatch, I fastforwarded through some of the second-half scenes of horror.
Is the first half more interesting because it's ensemble? Because of its different tensions? Pran is almost in a servant role. He gets Schanberg into and out of places. Sometimes he wakes him up in the morning. Does he ever resent it? Is that what he and the driver talk about once they drop Schanberg off at his swanky hotel? And by the way: What happens to the driver? Does he make it out alive? Do we ever find out?
Back in'84, I liked the bored, soggy worldliness of the international journalists stationed in Phnom Pehn, and that feeling's still there. John Malkovich is stellar as Al Rockoff, while Julian Sands is startling handsome (but not much of an actor) as Jon Swain. Spalding Grey is our U.S. consul, a government functionary trying to do the right thing, but, sadly, he's not really that good, either. Is Craig T. Nelson as the stonewalling military attaché who keeps Schanberg from visiting Neak Luong, the site of an accidental U.S. bombing?
A lot of the principles came out of television. Director Roland Joffé had been directing British TV series when he got the gig, Waterson had been relegated to TV movies after the box office disaster of "Heaven's Gate," Sands was in Brit TV.
Ngor, of course, came out of nowhere. The producers were looking for someone to play Pran and he was working at a medical clinic near L.A. and someone suggested him. He had the background (he'd escaped the Khmer Rouge himself) but zero acting experience. But he's quite good. For some reason I thought Ngor didn't really deserve his Oscar; back then, I'd been rooting for Adolph Cesar in "A Soldier's Story." But his performance anchors the movie.
The Nixon Doctrine
"The Killing Fields" is not a great film but it is a worthwhile film. The line of the movie belongs to Pres. Richard Nixon, whom Schanberg, back home, watches on a primitive VCR while "Nessun Dorma" (again with the opera) plays in the background. This is what Nixon says to the press, almost with a swagger, while explaining U.S. incursion into Cambodia:
Cambodia is the Nixon Doctrine in its purest form.
Truer words. Maybe a different John Lennon song should've ended the film: "How Do You Sleep?"

The First World War messages that it is feared could disappear forever
Some of the men never came home to Wales
Will HaywardWelsh Affairs Editor
If you were to walk beneath the underpass at Berwyn Station, near Llangollen, you would probably think it was completely normal.
Most people have not come to this part of Denbighshire to explore narrow underpass which is thick with weeds at the entrance.
However, if you were to stop and look up at the pale bricks at the top of the tunnel, you would be able to make out some messages in what appear to be pencil. It is hard to spot initially due to the damp, dirt and algae that is creeping over it, but it is unmistakably there.
These messages are believed to have been written by soldiers waiting to be taken to Flanders to serve their country in the First World War, some of whom would never return from battle.
In one etching, a soldier talks about his wish to see his unborn baby.

However, a local man and self confessed "history nerd" is concerned that this window into the past is about to be lost forever.
Iwan Hughes, a teacher from Flint, saw the etchings for the first time recently.
"I had heard of them," he said. "I am a bit of a nerd for the First World War.
More history stories from WalesOnline
You've probably walked past the large memorial in House of Fraser without knowing the Welsh fisherman killed in 1555 it remembers.
He was one of the pioneers of early aviation in the UK and one of the RAF's founding fathers. This is the story of the impressive Welshman you've probably never heard of.
This details how a cobbler's wife armed with a pitchfork captured 12 Frenchmen during the last invasion of mainland Britain.

How standing stones across Wales reveal what life was like before history was first written.
The flamboyant society rising star and the mystery of her death that's never been solved.
"I was talking with a friend of mine. We had gone for a meal and were chatting. We had been to Istanbul together before and we were just chatting about a time we had crossed the Bosporus and visited a war cemetery. There we found a grave to a Welsh soldier.
"I told my friend there was something nearby he might be interested in. We went looking for them. I knew it was in an underpass but we couldn't find it.
"A lady approached us and told us that it was on the other side of the bridge - it is literally below the railway line.
"I think they are legitimate, all First World War soldiers were provided with a pencil."
The damp is creeping over the writing (Image: Iwan Hughes)
However, Mr Hughes is concerned that, unless something is done, they could be about to disappear.
He said: "Unless you were looking for it you probably wouldn't notice it but there they were there. The ones at either end are in the best condition. The ones in the middle have been gradually obliterated.
"Algae and damp is creeping over them. I would not even want to try and clean them because it could damage them further. There a big stain coming down the wall."

What can you really say about a space featuring a stuffed lion, chinese lanterns, a Le Corbusier Sofa, a Basquiat drawing and a drawer containing human bones including articulated feet? Well, we ooooh and aahhed over this one. Firstly, the name of the owner explains 50% of this design marriage 'Eric Goode'; name definitely not unknown to the NY club seen. One may even say one of the men responsible for NY's nightlife in the 80's.
Starting out as an artist Eric Goode was just a simple every day artist incorporating stuffed animals as part of his artworks and hanging out with every day men of his field such as Keith Haring and Jean-Michel Basquiat. In the eighties, he was the man to know if you wanted to have a good time. Owner of the hedonistic 'Area' a legendary club, Andy Warhol created installations for the space, as did Basquiat and nothing was left to the imagination. Every few months a new design, a new idea and a new experimentation took place. A few years later in 1987 the opening of 'MK' a super club housed in an old bank with a design resembling that of a residential interior, followed suit. You had the four-poster bed, the billiard room, cases containing human bones and the stuffed Doberman Pinschers. After all a grand nouveaux riche house is not a house without its Dobermans.
So the 50% of Goode's loft includes memorabilia from the unforgettable nights, in NY night spots that you would do anything to get inside and be part of the crowd. The other 50% of this industrial building's penthouse in Noho, is simply Goode. With the first glance of this interior you instantly wonder how this has escaped PETA's knowledge. However nothing is as it seems. All the animals residing in this house have died of natural causes, as the idea of killing animals is something that the owner is strongly opposed to. The lion is a vintage piece, which came from a taxidermist in upstate New York. The bulldog came from the Midwest. ''It had died and been taken to Preserve a Pet, a company which preserves your pet in whatever position you want. They freeze dry it for about six months''. And that is that.
Surrounding the George Nelson & Eames living room furniture is a sculpture piece reminiscent of the mechanical factory years. This sculpture was collaborated on by a group called TODT, who were very big in the 80's. The very bright yellow kitchen with the very blue fridge is as vibrant as it gets. Colour is present everywhere in this apartment either in large applications or in small decorative elements which make the whole interior fun and joyful. Like a walk at the zoo with the pleasure of no cages. This playfulness is also incorporated in the bedroom with the colorful lanterns and the continuation of one of Goode's favorite colours, deep blue.
Art works the apartment include several paintings by Philip Taaffe, a couple of Warhol fish drawings in the kitchen area and a Nan Goldin print. Goldin gave him many others pieces of art for one of his ventures in Nineties New York—the highly hip and successful Bowery Bar. As you can see, we can keep going on endlessly talking about the truly 'Goode' inspirational design behind this apartment and the history behind every item. However this is a 'one-page' presentation so enjoy for now.

The Milky Way feasted on a smaller galaxy 10 billion years ago
The doomed galaxy's stars still roam the sky, moving in the opposite direction of other stars
Lisa Grossman
1:54pm, November 1, 2018
GOBBLE GOBBLE The young Milky Way, shown in an artist's impression, swallowed a smaller galaxy about 10 billion years ago. The smaller galaxy's stars are shown with yellow arrows depicting their direction of motion.
ESA (artist's impression and composition); H.H. Koppelman, A. Villalobos and A. Helmi (simulation); Hubble/ESA/NASA (galaxy image), CC BY-SA 3.0 IGO
Magazine issue: Vol. 194, No. 10, November 24, 2018, p. 8
In its younger days, the Milky Way devoured a smaller galaxy, and stars from the hapless victim still roam the skies today to tell the tale, a new study finds.
"This is a major event in the history of the galaxy," says astronomer Amina Helmi of the University of Groningen in the Netherlands. "We're really starting to probe the ancestors of the Milky Way."
Helmi and her colleagues analyzed the speeds and positions of tens of thousands of stars in the Milky Way within about 33,000 light-years of the sun, using data from the European Space Agency's Gaia space telescope (SN Online: 5/9/18). A group of about 30,000 stars seem to be moving backward, the team reports October 31 in Nature. Instead of rotating around the galactic center with the sun and the rest of the stars in the Milky Way's bright disk, these stars travel in the opposite direction.
"That was the first hint," Helmi says. "When stars move the opposite way, that already tells you that they basically didn't form in the same place as the majority of the stars in our galaxy."
The second hint came from looking those stars up in a catalog from the Apache Point Observatory Galactic Evolution Experiment, or APOGEE, which uses the spectrum of light that stars emit to infer their chemistry and ages. The backward-moving stars had fewer heavy elements than stars like the sun. That suggests that they formed earlier in the universe's history, before there was time for massive stars and supernovas to spread heavy elements around the galaxy (SN: 10/1/16, p. 25).
That chemistry clinched it, Helmi says. "It was just so clean. You immediately knew these stars really formed elsewhere."
Comparing the observations with computer simulations, Helmi's team concluded that 10 billion years ago, the Milky Way collided with a smaller galaxy — perhaps about 20 to 25 percent the size of the Milky Way at the time — containing the equivalent of 600 million stars the mass of the sun.
That collision may explain why the Milky Way is split into different components: a thin disk of young stars organized into spiral arms, a thick disk of much older stars surrounding the thin disk, and a spherical halo of stars whose trajectories take them far from the disks. Many of the present-day halo stars came from the gobbled-up galaxy.
The team named the doomed galaxy Gaia-Enceladus. In Greek mythology, the giant Enceladus was the son of Gaia (the Earth) and Uranus (the sky). Buried under Mount Etna in Italy, the legend goes, Enceladus is responsible for the region's earthquakes. "The analogy is that Enceladus the galaxy is buried in the Milky Way, it was buried in the Gaia data, and it was the cause of a lot of shaking and puffing up of the disk of the Milky Way at that time," Helmi says.
Signs of reverse-moving and chemically distinct stars had been seen in earlier galactic surveys, says astronomer Julio Navarro of the University of Victoria in Canada, who was not involved in the new work. He identified about 120 of the foreign stars in a paper in 2011. And other groups have used Gaia data and APOGEE data separately to identify the same group of odd stars, which they dubbed the "Gaia sausage."
Seeing both sets of data come together with thousands of stars "is quite comforting," Navarro says. "The details still need to be ironed out," he says. "The main idea that the galaxy swallowed a pretty heavy satellite quite a while ago, I think that's probably beyond doubt."
The stars that once belonged to Gaia-Enceladus are like a fossilized record of what galaxies were like 10 billion years ago. Studying them can help reveal details of ancient galaxies, and help understand how galaxies form in general, says astrophysicist Paula Jofré of Universidad Diego Portales in Santiago, Chile. Jofré has previously used stars' chemical contents to identify family trees among stars near the sun (SN: 10/13/18, p. 24).
"Now that this galaxy has been identified, I think it is interesting to study as many chemical elements as possible and see if we can reconstruct its history using evolutionary trees as we did for the solar neighborhood," she says.
SWALLOWED WHOLE In this animated computer simulation, a galaxy like the Milky Way (stars in blue) and a smaller galaxy (stars in red) collide and merge into a single larger galaxy. Something similar happened about 10 billion years ago in the Milky Way. Scientists have now teased apart which stars came from which galaxy using the stars' motions and chemistries.

The European Commission adopted a new Aviation Strategy for Europe on 7th December outlining the steps to be taken to maintain and improve competitiveness and sustainability the EU aviation sector. IATA, the trade association representing and serving the airline industry world-wide, noted that the Aviation Strategy is "overdue recognition of an industry that is critical to the continent's success".
The Strategy places a strong emphasis on the success of European aviation depending on markets outside of Europe, with a focus on "tapping into growth by improving services and access to growing markets" to generate economic opportunities. Tackling limits to growth, on the ground and in the air, is also high on the Commission agenda, with ACI Europe responding that "decisive action on these issues rests with Member States" . The full implementation of the Single European Sky and the swift adoption of SES2+ is urged to unleash the potential to reduce costs stemming from inefficiencies such as delay and longer routes.
To maintain high EU safety and security standards, the Commission proposes amendment to the regulatory framework (a revised EASA Basic Regulation) in an effort to adapt to new challenges such as drones and cyber-security, digital technologies and the continued threat of terrorism to civil aviation. Related to this is the desire to harness innovation and to use EASA's role in certification to accelerate the transition from innovation to market. When it comes to drones (RPAS) the aim is to harness the tremendous opportunities for new services and applications, whilst ensuring safe interaction with existing airspace users.
Reinforcing the social agenda and creating high quality jobs in aviation is also central to the strategy. This is particularly important in light of the pressure on airlines to cut operational costs and the emergence of new business and employment models which potentially have an impact on working conditions and labour laws. With "competitiveness and environmental sustainability going hand in hand" the preservation and enhancement of high environmental standards are also a key theme.
We now await further reaction from the sector, and anticipate the work of the new Dutch presidency in implementing the strategy under the Juncker cabinet.

The Member of Parliament for Ningo-Prampram, Sam George has lashed out at bigwigs in the National Democratic Congress (NDC) for falling prey to the ruling NPP government's quest to sway their attention from discussing the challenges facing the country's economy to 'wasting time' on a 'monkey wrench Kwesi Botchway report'.
Sam George in a Facebook post accused some NDC members of using the purported Kwesi Botchwey report to achieve personal interest instead of focusing on the collective interest of the party.
His outburst comes on the back of some documents which some media houses have claimed to be a leaked report with findings from the Kwesi Botchwey committee.
NDC! When would we learn? When would our so called big men learn that you don't speak into every microphone thrust in your face? When would they know that our collective survival supersedes their personal agenda?
Does discussing the KB report address the corruption at BOST or the fraud called GhanaPostGPS or the clamping down of Free Speech? Can we get our priorities right as a Party or we would continue to major in minors and minor in majors? Let's get our acts together and have some coordination. Can somebody, anyone show Leadership at the 'top'? How much longer do we need to continue with the self inflicted damage being done?
As for me, there's a 2020 election and we MUST begin to think about that and show Ghanaians we have learnt from our errors of the past and why we are the better alternative going forward. Even the dysfunctional government and its operatives are thinking ahead so what excuse do we have? Big men, please stop talking to the media on needless issues and rather focus your energies on thinking up strategies aimed at galvanizing our base for the task ahead.

Here is my story for Barbara Beacham's Mondays Finish the Story. The photo was also taken by Barbara, and the supplied opening sentence is in bold in my story. On top of that we get roughly 150 words to finish the story!
Prince Brian, Lord of the Island Isles, Protector of the Weak, preferred it that way. But now he crouched, hidden within the castle, listening intently.
A faint voice, distant but getting closer. His arch-nemesis, Grayvon. She'd found him! He huddled deeper into the corner of his castle, fear creeping through his body. This was it. This was the end.
Grayvon was approaching! Brian, brave and strong though he may be, was no match for her. He closed his eyes and waited for the end. Suddenly he was bathed in light as the castle roof was ripped off! He gritted his teeth.
"Yes, Mum," muttered Prince Brian, Lord of the Island Isles, Protector of the Weak, as he shuffled off to wash his hands.
Indeed. Even lords and prices must yield to mummy!
Lovely story, I can imagine the scene.
Thanks, I also have a very clear image.
Arch-nemesis, but in a a good way :-). And only at bedtime.
Oh that was so adorable! Eek, the Great Ghastly Grayvon is coming, quick, HIDE!
Thanks! At dinner time reality comes crashing back.
That was a great twist.
Thanks! I like a little twist.
Oh, this is so very beautiful. What a beautiful description!
very well written piece of writing!!!
An arch-nemesis indeed!!! Well, he'll fight another day! Great story!!!!!
He'll have to rebuilt the castle, though I guess that's half the fun!
Thanks, and kids have imagination in spades!
Aw, Mom. Gee whiz … Right now? Gee whiz.
Even though I saw it coming, I enjoyed (and admired) immensely the manner in which you told this charming story! Much fun! I loved this story. Trust mothers to spoil ALL the fun!
Yes, it's always Mum's job! We mums are terrible! My daughter is trying to find my boundaries, and bumping up against it in odd places, but thankfully, not in her imaginative play, of which she does QUITE a lot.
Ah yes! The only thing higher than a black belt is Mum!
This is great! A young child's imagination! Love it!
Yes, I can too and the hours upon hours we had fun with our imaginations!
Yes, they're great fun to build (until you have to put everything back!).
Love this one! My children use to play this type of game….little did I know at the time that I was the big, bad arch-nemesis!
Love it, you made me smile, thank you.
Sometimes mom's are the arch-nemesis to a good story . Nicely done.
I sewed my boys a blanket for over the table, your story took me back there. It had a mail slot, escape back door and a window for food.
Fun piece thanks for the giggle at the end!

Saudi Arabia's Diriyah track will host Formula E's first all-electric night race as part of the 2020/21 ABB FIA Formula E World Championship calendar. Always focused on innovative, sustainable solutions, Formula E will light the track with low consumption LED technology powered by fully renewable energy.
Formula E confirmed that the all-electric ABB FIA Formula E World Championship will literally light up the streets of Diriyah as it returns to the historic desert surroundings of the UNESCO World Heritage site for the third year in a row.
Set for a spectacular double header in the dark, the first sport to have net zero carbon since inception will once again use its platform to share a positively charged call-to-action, reminding fans that even the most intense and unpredictable racing can take place without the environment paying the price.
Lighting the track with the latest low consumption LED technology will reduce energy consumption by up to fifty percent compared to non-LED technologies. The remaining energy needed to power the floodlighting will be fully renewable provided by high performing low-carbon certified hydrogenated vegetable oil made from sustainable materials.
With a founding purpose to counteract climate change, Formula E's commitment to deliver better futures through racing drives its ongoing environmental, economic and social sustainability initiatives around the world.
Saudi Arabia is the perfect partner on this mission, as it embraces its own sustainability journey as part of Vision 2030. The Diriyah E-Prix will run at 17:00 GMT (20:00 local time) on February 26 and 27. It follows the debut of the 2020/21 ABB FIA Formula E World Championship in Santiago, Chile with two races on January 16 and 17.
Alberto Longo, co-founder and Chief Championship Officer of Formula E, said: "We are very proud to partner with Saudi to create Formula E's first ever night race. I am confident the race will be spectacular and lead to a style of competitive action we haven't seen before. As with everything we do, our first thought was about how to bring our sporting vision to life in a sustainable way. Before we innovate our racing product we must be confident we can maintain the standards of sustainable practice we hold ourselves accountable to."
Prince Abdulaziz Bin Turki Al-Faisal, the Minister of Sport added: "In 2018 the ancient historical city of Diriyah made history in hosting the first fully-electric race on the streets of the region. The debut event sparked so much joy and energy to our sporting journey and was one of a number of major sporting firsts that have since inspired our people and helped to shine a spotlight on Saudi Arabia's massive transformation under the Kingdom's vision 2030.
"In 2019 Diryah was the first to host back to back races during a race weekend and now once again we will make sporting history. It is very fitting that a place so ancient will showcase the latest in sustainable technology as Diriyah lights up to shine bright for the world to see. We look forward to the dramatic racing and incredible scenes that are guaranteed to unfold under the lights."
Prince Khalid Bin Sultan Al-Abdullah Al-Faisal, chairman of the Saudi Automobile and Motorcycle Federation, said: "The inaugural Diriyah E-Prix was the Kingdom's first major international event, last year it became the Middle East's first double-header and in February, it will be the first ever night race for the all-electric ABB FIA Formula E World Championship, we're really proud of this. Saudi Arabia is on a journey of embracing renewable energy and technology, and Formula E is more than just a race to be the best, it's a partnership committed to the future of sustainable technology."
Carlo Boutagy, CEO of CBX the official promoter, said: "With the circular economy being a key pillar of Vision 2030, we are thrilled to be quite literally shining a light on sustainability through hosting Formula E's first ever night race. As a promoter, the fan experience is at the forefront of our event and we always aim to raise the bar year-on-year, and we have no doubt that the Diriyah E-Prix will be a spectacle unlike any other."

Giornate Highlights Part 1
by James Harrison
Now in it's 30th year, Le Giornate Del Cinema Muto (aka the Pordenone International Silent Film Festival) has been the place to be whether your a novice or a hardcore silent film fan. For many of us it was the 7th or even 9th year going, and what an interesting 10 days of pasta eating, wine drinking and cinema going it was.
From the outset there was some interesting highlights lined up for the week. There was of course the impressive final night screening of Victor Sjostrom's (credited as Seastrom) classic The Wind (starring Lillian Gish) with a live score byCarl Davis, then the screening of the reconstruction of George Meilies classic Le Voyage Dans La Lune (The Voyage to the Moon) in colour and of course (the one in which many had been waiting for), the European Première of the recently found 43 minute fragments of The White Shadow (1924), a film directed by Graham Cutts, with the storyline credit going to a certain Mr Alfred Hitchcock. Hitchcock was also Cutts' assistant on the film (both men were credited for the screenplay as well); and while many people believed the film to be a film by Hitchcock (the international press are more at fault for stating this more than anyone else) I must say, The White Shadow, is, most certainly a film by Graham Cutts. But more about that later on in part 2 of our Highlights of Le Giornate Del Cinema Muto.
Highlights: Part 1:
One of the key reasons why many of us from Bristols Silents (and of course many other people around the globe) go to the Giornate is to find new surprises, and dare I say it, watch the rediscovered classics of the early part of cinema history. And to be honest, I can't find any other place better than this particular festival. With that in mind, this year, there were some surprises, but also, some disappointments.
Saturday first saw a flavour of what was to come later on in the week, with a selection of early works by film directorMichael Curtiz (then named Mihaly Kertesz). The selection started with Jon Az Ocsem (1919; My Brother is Coming) and A Tolonc (1915; The Undesirable), in which in my opinion, were highly disappointing. The disappointment continued I'm afraid when the festival beginning its run of Georgian films with a screening of Gansirulni (The Doomed) a silent film made in 1930, in which, the title sounds far more exciting than the film really was.
However, there was a shining jewel between these two screenings which kept my trust in the festival, and that came from a rediscovered film from the US called The Little Minister (1921). Directed by Scottish born film director Penrhyn Stanlaws (born Stanley Adamson from Dundee), The Little Minister tells of a young pastor who is caught up in a number of battles between the military and the weavers of the town. With the use of wit and the odd section of romance, you could well be mistaken that the film could have been directed by Michael Curtiz. Sadly not. And I'm afraid to say, for this young trepid silent film hound, I was howling through the rest of the early work of Michael Curtiz for the rest of the festival.
The rest of Saturday saw a miss mash of avant garde films from Netherlands, a Disney Short and the visually impressive Novy Vavilon (1929; New Babylon) which opened the festival (officially) that night.

Sunday started very early, with a selection of factual footage of the many expeditions to the South Pole; the films included footage of Roald Amundsen's 1910 – 1912 successful attempt to reach the South Pole first (beating Scott by a number of days) and rather surprisingly, footage of the Scottish Antarctic Expedition back in 1902 – 1904 and an even bigger surprise came with the footage of the Japanese Expedition to Antarctica from 1912, which included footage of the training of the men and also their voyage to the great white silent land. More about Scott later by the way…
After a very successful screening of Victor Fleming's Mantrap (1926) starring the irreplaceable Clara Bow (and actually Percy Marmont and Ernest Torrence) and The Better Man, a Western short from 1912, many decided to stay behind and watch an epic by Michael Curtiz called Die Sklavenkonign (1924; Moon of Israel). Once again, another disappointment, although, while we had a rather dull romantic story with the story of The Ten Commandments as a backdrop, it was most certainly worth comparing Moon of Israel with DeMille's Ten Commandments which had been released the year before. However, I must say, I would just watch DeMille's version (far shorter and far more effective).
Monday saw the festival in full swing with a selection of rather interesting Japanese Animations, a number of shorts from all over the world which had come from the infamous Corrick Correction (now in it's 5th and possibly last but one year at the Giornate) and the screening of the recently discovered RW Paul film, which made quite a stir within some of the Giornate regulars and RW Paul and British silent film fans.
However, the main highlights for Monday was the Georgian film Amerikanka (1930; The Jobbing Press) and the Russian film Chyortovo Koleso (1926; The Devil's Wheel). The Jobbing Press (classed as a revolutionary – historical film by many) tells the story of of an underground printing shop in the heart of Moscow when the Soviet revolution began to spread throughout the city and the whole of the country. Visually stunning through out; the use of light and shadow in the underground printing room was fantastic, as well as, an impressive use of depth of field in the opening sequence which found the main character in a lifeless snowy landscape. At last a Georgian film worth talking about I thought at the end. Watch out for this one.

The Devil's Wheel on the other hand couldn't be anything more than the opposite to The Jobbing Press. Shot in and around Petrograd (the film notes stated); the film told the story of a young Russian sailor from the battleship Aurora (the ship that launched the salvoes that marked the start of the October Revolution) who falls for a local girl. They disappear into the night, and are seen riding certain rides at a local fairground (including of course a Devil's Wheel). They later become involved with the local crime underworld, in which at the end of the film there is an impressive gun battle between a bunch of Russian criminals and soldiers and police outside, in which, the building that the criminals are in begins to catch on fire and burns to the ground. Sounds familiar? Well, it did remind me very much of Josef von Sternberg's Underworld (1927) anyway. Throughout the film we saw some wonderful broad wide shots of the city at night, as well as some wonderful use of lightening when it came to the films fairground sequences. A true classic from the number of Russian films which had been screened this year…
Stay tuned for the next major highlights from Le Giornate Del Cinema Muto in the next few coming days..
