I'm not a protector of gun rights. As I've previously argued, I'm not sure Christians should be. In fact, I'd give up the 2nd Amendment in heartbeat if it guaranteed an end to abortions. But it seems that some people want to have it both ways.
Access to abortion services is not in the Constitution. Yet liberal powers claim that it is so important that is should not be restricted by any safety measures that hinder access. Their arguments in Whole Woman's Health et al. v. Hellerstedt claim that Texas' attempt to increase the safety standards of abortion clinics in the wake of the Kermit Gosnell atrocities must be stricken because it increases the barrier to access.
President Obama celebrated the decision, saying, "[The Texas laws] harm women's health and place an unconstitutional obstacle in the path of a woman's reproductive freedom."1
Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg argued in her own opinion paper, "When a State severely limits access to safe and legal procedures, women in desperate circumstances may resort to unlicensed rogue practitioners." Ginsburg continued, "…targeted regulation of abortion provider laws that do little or nothing for health, but rather strew impediments to abortion, cannot survive judicial inspection."2
Note Ginsburg's "desperate circumstances" straw man, as if no pregnancy is ever terminated in order to preserve a current lifestyle. According to the pro-abortion Guttmacher Institute, most abortions occur because "having a child would interfere with a woman's education, work or ability to care for dependents, or she did not want to be a single mother or was having relationship problems."3
In Justice Stephen G. Breyer's majority opinion, "Gosnell's behavior was terribly wrong, but there is no reason to believe that an extra layer of regulation would have affected that behavior."4
I'll summarize these arguments: First, regulations should not overly restrict rights. Secondly, there is no evidence that these regulations reduce abuse of the right in question.
These are both arguments that advocates for 2nd Amendment rights make on a regular basis in resisting increasingly restrictive gun control laws. The liberal community argues that, when it comes to the 2nd Amendment, safety should trump open access to an actual Constitutional right. But when it comes to abortion, even though it is not a constitutional right, liberals will not tolerate the same arguments they themselves use in attacking the 2nd Amendment.
Why is this so?
Laws restricting both abortion access and gun access may seem to be common sense, but restrictions on abortion violate the core beliefs of the current moral revolution and its idolatry of human autonomy.
"Abortion in this case becomes the sacrament of this new idolatry," Albert Mohler writes. "It is the sacrament of a modern humanistic religion to which the society is increasingly committed. Abortion is absolutely central to the sexual revolutionaries and to the moral revolution around us."5

Here's my 2 cents worth on the whole gun issue, as if there's not enough opinion out already. I'm going to go the extra mile and annoy both sides, so read it to the end.
From a political perspective, the current broo-ha is spectacularly ill-thought out. It's the definition of mob mentality. Politicians and activist want to ban semi-automatics like the AR-15 and other so-called "assault rifles." But there's no such thing as a semi-automatic assault rifle. There are assault weapons – I know because I shot at people with them – but they were never semi-automatic only. I'm convinced that the only reason these "assault rifles" are being targeted is because they look scary. That's it. Personally, I think the AR-15 is a hobby toy that makes people feel cool. There are other legal weapons that could have been far more devastating in a club than the low power, low caliber Sig Sauer that was used in Orlando. But I guess a person looks a lot scarier with a gun that's faux military, so ban it.
And would banning "assault weapons" fix the problem? Should we abandon this line of mitigation just because it's not 100% effective? That's a straw man. The real question is: At what level of ineffectiveness should we cease trying? Because we did this once already. "Assault weapons" were banned in 1994. The bill was allowed to expire in 2004 because it had no effect whatsoever.
There are middle ground areas, like putting all semi-automatic rifles under the 1934 National Firearms Act. Passed to keep mobsters from getting automatic weapons, it has strict requirement for ownership, like fingerprinting, approval of a local sheriff, registration, etc. This is more like what Canada has. Personally, I don't think that this type of regulation will fly with the American public, though it would be worth a… ahem… shot.
And that brings us to the 2nd Amendment. The purpose of the 2nd Amendment was to provide for an armed people, in the case that if it becomes "necessary to alter or abolish" a government. I absolutely agree that an AR-15 is a terrible hunting weapon. But the 2nd Amendment has nothing to do with hunting. In fact, if keeping with spirit of the amendment, the American public is woefully under-armed compared to its government. Some may argue that the 2nd Amendment only applies to militias (though today's National Guard is a far cry from the municipal militias of the 1770s). However, the Supreme Court ruled against this interpretation in District of Columbia v Hellar, and frankly, the amendment guarantees the right to bear arms, regardless of the reason for it. But the reason is valid. The purpose of maintaining state militias after 1788 was to protect against overreach of the U.S. federal government. That falls in line with the Declaration of Independence's justification of rebellion against Britain, and with current interpretations for the right to own semi-automatic weapons. The 2nd Amendment is a core part of our government; included in the Bill of Rights, demanded by Patrick Henry, and strongly supported by Jefferson. A simple examination of other writings at the time of the drafting of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights will strongly support this.
The supreme power in America cannot enforce unjust laws by the sword; because the whole body of the people are armed, and constitute a force superior to any band of regular troops that can be, on any pretense, raised in the United States. A military force, at the command of Congress, can execute no laws, but such as the people perceive to be just and constitutional; for they will possess the power, and jealousy will instantly inspire the inclination, to resist the execution of a law which appears to them unjust and oppressive.
Noah Webster, An Examination of the Leading Principles of the Federal Constitution (1787).
Ok, with all that being said, here's my Christian viewpoint:
I think the American Revolution was an unjust war, fomented and supported by a wealthy elite who wanted to maintain the trade advantages of salutary neglect. I'm not saying that they thought of it this way, but the blood of thousands was spilt over a political position on trade. It was hardly a war of self-defense or an attempt to stop rabid aggression and destruction.
The social conditions that generally are supposed to lie behind all revolutions—poverty and economic deprivation—were not present in colonial America. There should no longer be any doubt about it: the white American colonists were not an oppressed people; they had no crushing imperial chains to throw off.
Gordon Wood, The Radicalism of the American Revolution (1991)
On the other hand, there's a chance that if we hadn't rebelled the British could have ended slavery much sooner and with no bloodshed, as they did in their other colonies. Our rebellion and the idea that we should overthrow unjust governments by force have been the seed of much conflict in this country.
There is also no justification for rebellion in scripture. The opposite, in fact. We are to obey those who God allows to be in authority over us. "Give unto Caesar what is Caesar's,"1 Christ said, and "Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven."2 Paul wrote, "Let every person be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God,"3 and "Render therefore to all their due: taxes to whom taxes are due, customs to whom customs, fear to whom fear, honor to whom honor."4
For a Christian, we don't have a dog in this fight. We already know what we should do, and it doesn't include shooting other people in a civil war. So from that perspective, it doesn't really matter if the 2nd Amendment stands or falls. "For here we have no continuing city, but we seek the one to come."5 Our constitution is the example of the Lord Jesus Christ. You may ask about self-defense, but I don't think that the right to own a handgun is going to be an issue for a while, and even in that case, our ultimate protection is the will of God. Betsie ten Boom once said, "There are no 'ifs' in God's world. No places are safer than other places. The center of His will is our only safety."
So what is our calling? We are to be lights and salt. We should never excuse the sin around us, and especially not our own, but we should also follow Christ's example of love to the lost. He told the mob, "He who is without sin cast the first stone,"6 but he told the woman caught in adultery, "Go and sin no more."7
The world is only going to become more corrupt. It is the nature of man. Our time is limited, and the time of those souls without Christ is limited. Let our actions be focused on eternity without distraction.
And do this, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep; for now our salvation is nearer than when we first believed. The night is far spent, the day is at hand. Therefore let us cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light. Let us walk properly, as in the day, not in revelry and drunkenness, not in lewdness and lust, not in strife and envy. But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to fulfill its lusts. Romans 13:11-14

TRENTON, N.J. (AP) — New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie thinks President Barack Obama should follow his lead and personally engage in budget talks with lawmakers.
Speaking on NBC's "Today" show Friday, Christie said "you can't negotiate through a second person." The Republican suggested the first thing Obama do about debt ceiling talks is "show up."
Christie's comments come one day after reaching a compromise with Democratic leaders to require public employees in New Jersey to pay more for health and pension benefits.
In an interview with The Associated Press, Christie called the deal his greatest accomplishment since taking office in 2010.

For long-term conservation initiatives to succeed, there is a need for more meaningful wildlife research to be conducted in the Sebungwe region of Zimbabwe. The Bumi Hills Foundation strives to fill this gap through studies of local predators, large mammals, and environmental ecology in the years to come.
Fragile predator populations throughout the region require effective monitoring to ensure continued success. Our wildlife research aims to identify accurate population densities, alleviate pressures caused by human/large predator conflicts and encourage stability for some of Africa's most ecologically important species. By better understanding these magnificent animals, as well as their spatial distribution requirements, solutions to their continued protection may be achieved.
Across the continent, African Elephant populations are under threat from habitat loss, migration restrictions and a huge demand for ivory. In the Sebungwe region alone, an estimated population of 15,000 elephant in 2006 has been reduced to roughly 3,500 today. Without a concentrated effort to calculate the efforts needed to see these great populations return once again and the impacts of increasing human population in the area, the icon of the Kariba shoreline may one day be lost all together.
Along with the elephant and predator populations, many other keystone species once thrived here. Vast herds of buffalo, eland, sable & roan antelope and rhino all formed a part of the greater ecology surrounding Bumi Hills. In order to open the door for their return, knowledge is a key factor in determining how best these species can once again populate the region. Wildlife research combining historical and current data, as well as the changing environment around Lake Kariba may provide that knowledge.
Conservation starts from the soil up. Understanding the land means understanding what makes it biologically tick. The Bumi Hills Foundation wants to know more about the incredible area we have around us, and what can be done to maintain its diversity. From fire management planning to erosion prevention and control, we strive to protect and conserve the integrity of the environment as well as the species which inhabit it.
Our goals toward filling the gap within wildlife research in the region will focus strongly on how best to preserve large mammal and predator populations as well as the ecological environment. If you'd like to invest in the sustainability of Africa's wildlife and wilderness or have a specific project in mind, please contact us and let us know!
Wildlife research is vitally important to wildlife conservation and wildlife management for our wildlife trust, providing wildlife research jobs as a wildlife research foundation in Zimbabwe Africa for endangered species and wildlife in need to stop poaching and wildlife crime.

Supreme Court of Tennessee: Duty of Good Faith and Fair Dealing Applies To "Silent Consent" Clause In Contract
Published on: March 6, 2013 | by J. Ross Pepper
In a breach of contract case recently decided by the Supreme Court of Tennessee, Dick Broadcasting v. Oak Ridge FM, Inc., the Court held that the implied duty of good faith and fair dealing applied to a contract provision which allowed a party to assign it rights under the contract at issue to another party. The plaintiff ("Plaintiff") and defendant ("Defendant") entered into an agreement giving the Plaintiff a right of first refusal to purchase certain assets of the Defendant.
The Right-of-First Refusal Agreement ("Agreement") provided that the Plaintiff could assign it rights under the Agreement, but that it had to have the prior written consent of the Defendant to do so. Unlike many other contracts that are entered into in Tennessee and in other jurisdictions, the Agreement did not provide any explanation of the conditions under which the Defendant could withhold consent. For example, many agreements with assignment clauses provide that the contract cannot be assigned without the written consent of the non-assigning party, but provide that the non-assigning party's consent "shall not be unreasonably withheld."
The Defendant refused to give Plaintiff permission to assign the Agreement. The Plaintiff filed suit in a Tennessee Chancery Court for breach of contract. The Plaintiff's theory was that the implied duty of good faith and fair dealing, which has been consistently held by Tennessee courts to apply to all contracts governed by Tennessee law, applied to the assignment clause in that case. The Defendant argued that the consent clause, which was silent as to the conditions under which it could withhold consent, allowed it unfettered discretion in deciding whether to give consent.
The trial court held in favor of the Defendant. The Court of Appeals of Tennessee disagreed with the trial court, and held that the implied duty of good faith and fair dealing applied to the assignment clause. The Court of Appeals held that whether or not the Defendant was liable for breach of contract was a question of fact for the jury. The exact question of fact to be put to the jury was: Did the Defendant breach its implied duty of good faith and fair dealing in refusing to consent to the assignment?
The Supreme Court of Tennessee upheld the decision of the Court of Appeals. Specifically, it held: "When the agreement does not specify the standard of conduct for withholding consent, a party's decision to refuse consent must be made in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner." In reaching its decision, the Supreme Court noted that the implied duty of good faith and fair dealing was firmly imbedded in Tennessee law, and that, therefore, it would be incongruent with existing Tennessee law to hold that it applied generally to contracts, but not to an assignment clause within a contract.
The implied duty of good faith and fair dealing, as the above case demonstrates, is a powerful tool for a breach of contract lawyer. There is a lengthy discussion of the parameters of that implied duty in the Court's opinion.
Parties and lawyers must remember that the implied duty of good faith and fair dealing cannot be used to contradict or to circumvent specific contract terms, or to create new contractual rights. This is a critical point often not understood and overlooked by commercial litigators. If, for example, a contract requires that "time is of the essence," a party generally cannot avoid that term by arguing that, under the circumstances, the duty of good faith and fair dealing obligates the other party to give it more time than agreed upon to complete its performance.
In the above case, the Defendant argued that, by implying a contractual obligation that it could not withhold consent unless, in doing so, it acted in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner, the Court was creating a new contractual right for the Plaintiff. The Court explained that it was not creating a new contractual right because all that was being asked by the parties was for the Court "to infer a standard of conduct anticipated by the parties.."

Updated 4:37 p.m. | The Justice Department is declining to open a formal investigation into the sparring between the Senate Intelligence Committee and the CIA.
"The Department carefully reviewed the matters referred to us and did not find sufficient evidence to warrant a criminal investigation," Justice Department spokesman Peter Carr said in a statement.
Intelligence Chairwoman Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., came to the floor in March to torch the intelligence agency and accuse it of spying on computers being used by her staff to investigate the George W. Bush-era torture program.
Approached entering a Democratic caucus luncheon, Feinstein told CQ Roll Call she was pleased with the news.
"I'm delighted to hear that. I think it's the right thing, and I gather they have dropped both investigations," Feinstein said. "So that's that, and I couldn't be happier."
Feinstein expanded on her views in a written statement.
"I am pleased the Justice Department has decided not to open an investigation into Intelligence Committee staff. I believe this is the right decision and will allow the committee to focus on the upcoming release of its report on the CIA detention and interrogation program," Feinstein said.
Sen. Mark Udall, a Colorado Democrat who frequently splits from Feinstein on surveillance policy, expressed support for the Justice Department not investigating Senate staff, but had concerns about the decision to not investigate the spy agency.
"The Justice Department's decision is troubling and draws a false equivalency between congressional staff fulfilling their constitutional obligations and an executive branch agency potentially breaking the law," Udall said in a statement. "Independent oversight of our intelligence agencies is essential for the American people to trust what they're doing to protect our national security. That's why I strongly believe staff for the Senate Intelligence Committee broke no laws over the course of their study of the CIA's detention and interrogation program. The CIA's unauthorized search, however, may well have violated multiple provisions of the Constitution, federal criminal statutes and [an executive order]."
There was a public back-and-forth between the Senate and the CIA, with charges that Senate staff improperly accessed documents and removed materials from the secure facility used for the review. The resulting report on torture programs is currently going through declassification review.
The CIA general counsel asked the Justice Department to investigate the allegations against the Senate staff, with Feinstein having called for a separate probe through the CIA's inspector general. In addition, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., instructed the sergeant-at-arms to investigate the matter.

Abstract: in this post we describe the application of the SMA Thunder Optics spectrometer and the Spectragryph software in spectrophotometry measurements. We will apply spectrophotometric techniques to measure the concentration of a solute by measuring absorbance and fluorescence. We will also apply spectrophotometry to the study of the kinetics of a chemical reaction.
In the previous post: Thunder Optics Spectrometer & Spectragryph, we described the Thunder Optics SMA Spectrometer (hereafter referred to as the TO spectrometer) and used it to acquire the spectra of some light sources. We now continue the experimentation activity by "exploring" with this equipment, with its accessories and with the spectragryph software, spectrophotometric techniques of absorbance and fluorescence measurement for the determination of the concentration of a substance in a liquid solution. We will also use absorbance spectrophotometry to study the kinetics of a chemical reaction.
Determination of the concentration of a potassium permanganate solution (KMnO4)
In Optics the Lambert-Beer law is an empirical relation that correlates the quantity of light absorbed by a medium, to the chemical nature, to the concentration and to the thickness of the medium crossed. When a light beam (monochromatic) of intensity I0 crosses a layer of thickness l of a medium, a part of it is absorbed by the medium itself and a part is transmitted with residual intensity I. Transmittance (T) is defined as the I/I0 ratio while the absorbance (A) as the opposite of the logarithm of the transmittance A = log (1/T).
The relationship between the intensity of the transmitted light and the incident light on the medium crossed is expressed by the following relation :
I/I0 = e-kl = T = e-A
where k is the attenuation coefficient (which is a typical constant of the medium crossed and depends on the wavelength λ) and l is the thickness of the solution crossed. The law can also be expressed in this way:
A = k l
which for a solution is further modified into:
A = ελ l M
where ελ is called the molar absorption coefficient, M is the molarity of the solution and l is the geometric path. The value of ελ is considered constant for a given substance at a given wavelength, although it may undergo slight variations with temperature. Moreover, its constancy is guaranteed only within a given concentration range, above which the linearity between absorbance and concentration can be affected by chemical-physical phenomena.
With our absorption spectrophotometer we verified the Lambert-Beer law using dilute solutions of potassium permanganate. As known, this compound is soluble in water and the solutions have a characteristic color which, depending on the concentration, ranges from pink to dark purple.
To measure the absorbance of the solutions, the TO spectrometer coupled with the cuvette holder and the reference light source can be used (Fig. 1 a). The solutions to be examined were inserted in the classic spectrophotometry cuvettes (12x12x45 mm), made of "disposable" plastic material (Fig. 1 b).
Fig. 1 – (a) Setup for absorbance measurements , (b) Cuvette with KMnO4 solutions
The standard solutions have known concentration: 8×10-4 M, 4×10-4 M, 2×10-4 M, 1×10-4 M. The solutions were obtained by weighing 0.0125 g of compound (the molar mass of the permanganate is 158 g/mol) and dissolving it in 100 ml of distilled water; thus a solution with a concentration of 8×10-4 M is obtained. For subsequent dilutions, the other concentrations are obtained. The absorbance spectra are shown in Fig. 2.
Fig. 2 – Absorbance spectra of standard KMnO4 solutions
From the spectra, we can obtain the value of the maximum absorbance at a wavelength of about 525 nm for each solution. Plotting the absorbance value as a function of the concentration (molarity) of the solution we obtain the linear relation between absorbance and molarity expressed by the Lambert-Beer law: A = ελ l M (Fig. 3).
Fig. 3 – Calibration curve for absorbance KMnO4 solutions
Fig. 4 – Absorbance spectrum of unknown KMnO4 solution
Knowing the calibration line of our spectrophotometer for the absorbance at the wavelength of 525 nm of the potassium permanganate solution, it is possible to use the spectrophotometric measurement to determine the concentration of a solution of unknown molarity. Fig. 4 shows the measure of the "unknown" solution which gives a value equal to 0.76 for the absorbance. By inserting this value in the equation of the regression line we obtain that the concentration of the solution is 0,45×10-3 M.
Determination of the content of Riboflavin (vitamin B2) in a multivitamin complex
Riboflavin, also known as vitamin B2, is a water-soluble vitamin of group B. It is a fundamental component of several coenzymes and is necessary for cellular respiration. Riboflavin is also a fluorescent compound. In this experiment, we use the fluorescence properties of riboflavin to determine the amount of this compound contained in a multivitamin dietary supplement. As with absorbance measurements, Beer's law can be used for fluorescence measurements. the intensity of the light emitted, I, is directly proportional to the concentration, c, of the emitting chemical compound present in the sample:
I = k I0 c
The intensity of the light emitted depends on the intensity of the light supplied for the excitation, I0, and on the concentration, c, of the sample. The constant of proportionality k includes both the extinction coefficient (or molar absorption coefficient) at the excitation wavelength and the path length of the light beam passing through the sample.
In Fig. 1 a and Fig. 1 b, the experimental setup consisting of a spectrometer, cuvette holder and Y optical fiber is shown. The excitation source is a DPSS laser emitting at 445 nm (blue emission). The fluorescence emission is collected at right angles by the two collimators connected to the Y-shaped optical fiber.
Fig. 5 – (a) Setup for fluorescence measurements, (b) Cuvette with riboflavin solution
As with absorbance spectroscopy, the fluorescence spectrometer must first be calibrated using a set of standard solutions of known concentration. By measuring the fluorescence of a set of standard solutions of known concentration, it is possible to create a calibration curve that shows how the instrument responds to changes in concentration. It is then possible to compare the response of the spectrometer to solutions of known concentration with the response of the spectrometer to a solution of unknown concentration; in this way Beer's law allows us to determine the concentration of the unknown solution. In Fig. 6 a the sample solutions of riboflavin at known concentration are shown and in Fig. 6 b the food supplement under analysis.
Fig. 6 – (a) Riboflavin solutions , (b) Multivitamin tablets
In Fig. 7 the absorbance and fluorescence spectra of riboflavin, acquired with the TO spectrometer, are shown. It is evident that the absorbance has a maximum at the wavelength of about 440 nm, this justifies the use of a blue DPSS laser as the excitation source. The fluorescence band lies between 500 nm and 600 nm with the maximum at about 520 nm.
Fig. 7 – Riboflavin absorbance spectrum (orange line) and fluorescence spectrum (blue line)
The standard solutions are obtained by dissolving 100 mg of high purity riboflavin in 1 l of distilled water. Knowing the molar mass of the molecule (376.3639 g/mol) we calculate that the solution obtained has a concentration of 53×10-6 M. By further diluting the initial solution, we obtain the standard solutions at concentrations of 26, 17, 12.7 and 10.2 μM which we used as calibration solutions.
Fig. 8 – Fluorescence spectra of standard riboflavin solutions
From the fluorescence spectra we obtain the maximum intensity at the wavelength of about 520 nm for each solution. Plotting the value of the fluorescence intensity as a function of the concentration (molarity) of the solution we obtain the linear relation between fluorescence and molarity expressed by Beer's law: I = k I0 c (Fig. 9).
Fig. 9 – Calibration curve for riboflavin solutions fluorescence
Fig. 10 – Fluorescence spectrum of unknown solution
Knowing the calibration line of our spectrophotometer for the fluorescence of the riboflavin solution at the wavelength of 520 nm it is possible to use the spectrophotometric measurement to determine the concentration of a solution of unknown molarity. Fig. 10 shows the measure of the "unknown" solution which gives a value equal to 10.7 for the fluorescence intensity. By inserting this value in the equation of the regression line we obtain that the concentration of the solution is 8.2×10-6 M. Knowing that the solution was obtained by dissolving the contents of a tablet in 250 ml of water, we can easily obtain the quantity of riboflavin that results of 0.77 mg.
Study of the kinetics of the chemical reaction between the "Crystal Violet" dye and Sodium Hydroxide
Crystal violet is a commonly used dye. In aqueous solution it is of an intense purple color. In the presence of a strong base (for example, sodium hydroxide NaOH), the color of the solution fades from purple to colorless. The kinetics of the chemical color change process can be analyzed using absorbance spectrophotometry in which the color intensity of the solution is recorded against time to determine the rate law.
In Fig. 11 we show the crystal violet solution and the NaOH solution.
Fig. 11 – Crystal violet solution and NaOH solution
The reaction of crystal violet with sodium hydroxide produces a molecule that is colorless, the reaction can be represented in the following diagram:
Fig. 12 – Reaction of Crystal Violet with NaOH
At the instant T0 the reaction product (CVOH) is absent while the concentration of the dye (CV) is maximum. As the reaction proceeds, the concentration of the dye decreases while the concentration of CVOH, which is colorless, increases: the result is that the solution becomes progressively colorless. The concentration of the CV dye can be measured by the technique of absorbance spectrometry, in this way we can monitor the kinetics of the reaction and we can measure its rate. The measures, taken every 10 seconds, are shown in the graph of Fig. 13.
Fig. 13 – Absorbance spectra of solution recorded every 10 sec.
The absorbance values are measured at the wavelength of 590 nm and are reported as a function of time in the semi-logarithmic scale graph of Fig. 14. The decreasing trend of absorbance is almost perfectly approximated by an exponential law with decay time of 167 seconds.
Fig. 14 – Absorbance values at 590 nm in semi-logarithmic scale approximated by exponential law
From the results obtained and described above we can obtain information on the kinetics of the reaction. In general, the law on the speed of the reaction is as follows:
Rate = k [CV+]m[OH-]n (1)
Where k is a constant of proportionality, while m and n are the order of reactions of the single reactants. The values of the individual reaction orders m and n must be determined experimentally.
A reaction is usually zero order, first or second order. A zero-order reaction is one in which the speed is independent of the concentration of the reactants, thus resulting constant with value k. A first order reaction is one in which the rate depends only on the concentration of a reactant and in which m = 1. In this case the rate decreases as the reaction proceeds and the concentration of the reactant [CV+] decreases. A second-order reaction can be one in which the reaction rate depends on the concentration of two different reactants (e.g. m = 1 and n = 1), or where the reaction rate depends on the concentration of only one reactant (where m = 2 ). For a second order reaction, the rate is proportional to [CV+]2 and the decrease in rate as the reaction progresses is faster than for the first order reaction.
In this experiment, CV+ reacts with OH- concentrations of orders of magnitude higher. Since sodium hydroxide has much higher concentrations, it is reasonable to assume that as [CV+] decreases over time, while [OH-] remains constant during the reaction. This creates a special condition that reduces the rate equation to the following relationship:
Rate = k'[CV+]m (2)
k' = k[OH-]n (3)
We can write
Rate = Δ[CV+] / Δt = k'[CV+]m (4)
The concentration [CV+] is measured by absorbance spectrophotometry and therefore we can derive its trend over time. From the data obtained it is evident that the concentration [CV+] decreases over time with an exponential law. Knowing that the solution of equation (4) is an exponential function we can derive that m = 1, therefore the reaction has order = 1.
Our apparatus consisting of an SMA Thunder Optics spectrometer and mini light source proved to be more than adequate for the spectrophotometric analysis of absorbance and fluorescence. This allowed us to apply spectrophotometric techniques to the determination of the amount of solute present in a solution of unknown concentration. The absorbance spectrometry also allowed us to study in detail the kinetics of a chemical reaction which, involving a dye molecule, can be monitored by means of the spectrometer.

.arpa is een topleveldomein (TLD) dat exclusief gebruikt wordt voor internet-infrastructuur doeleinden.

.arpa was oorspronkelijk bedoeld voor het faciliteren van de overgang naar het Domain Name System. Het ARPANET was de voorganger van het Internet, opgezet door het United States Department of Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA). Toen het Domain Name System werd geïntroduceerd in 1985 werden ARPANET hostnamen in het begin veranderd in domeinnamen eindigend op .arpa . Hostnamen in andere netwerken werden soms ook veranderd naar pseudodomein-stijl adressen met extensies als .uucp of .bitnet. Deze zijn op het Internet nooit toegevoegd als formele TLD. Domeinnamen met deze vorm werden steeds minder gebruikt en vervangen door domeinnamen die gebruik maakten van de andere meer informatieve TLD's.

Toch bleek het verwijderen van .arpa, toen het zijn doel had bereikt, onpraktisch. Dit kwam doordat in-addr.arpa werd gebruikt voor "Reverse DNS Lookup" van IP-adressen.

Op een bepaald moment werd voorgesteld dat voor nieuwe infrastructuur databanken het domein .int zou worden gebruikt met het oog op het verwijderen van .arpa. In mei 2000 werd dit idee echter omgedraaid, en werd besloten dat .arpa in gebruik zou blijven waar het oorspronkelijk voor was bedoeld en dat .int voor internationale organisaties zou worden gebruikt. .arpa staat nu voor Address and Routing Parameter Area (een backroniem).

Tag: Clara Wieck
Clara Schumann – A Look Behind the Veil
Dieter Kühn: Clara Schumann, Klavier. ISBN 978-3-596-14203-3 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Before I read this book, I didn't know much about Clara Schumann, Robert Schumann's wife, born as Clara Wieck. On my music blog I exclusively refer to her under her maiden name; I will proceed in the same manner here. Having been married to a famous composer tends to obscure the fact that this woman had a fascinating life before she married Robert Schumann and even more so after her husband's tragic death in an asylum.
Dieter Kühn's biography is an excellent book. The amount and variety of sources he has consulted is impressive. The testimonies from the 19th century he has chosen to illustrate Clara Wieck's world, how it changed, its highlights and the uncertainties, are remarkable and often hilarious. His narrative style is a little special: He interrupts the long list of biographical facts by interjecting personal speculations and philosophical musings. This makes the rather voluminous book fairly easy to read and entertaining, but I could imagine that this us not to everybody's taste. I enjoyed it however, so I will not dwell upon this any longer.
The most extraordinary quality of the book lies in Kühn's talent to let himself be fascinated by Clara Wieck's person without losing his objectivity. He makes a point of not writing a hagiography and wants tp do away with many myths that surround Clara and her husband. Myths that Clara has partly created herself. Kühn maintains a considerable distance to his subject and is very critical of Clara Wieck. For Clara Wieck was a very complex person. A duplicitous person.
Appearances greatly mattered. Clara Wieck presented herself as a loving and true wife, a loving and tender mother, as a pianist devoted to her art and the composers whose works she performed: Chopin, Beethoven, Schumann. She presented herself as a good friend of Johannes Brahms and as the guardian of Robert Schumann's heritage. All of this was true. But there's was a dark side to all these aspects.
Robert Schumann had contracted syphilis as a young man; this illness lead over time to mental disorder. When he gradually become more and more confused, depressed, irate, Clara told him at some point she could not deal with the situation any longer and that she would like to hand his care over to professionals i.e. to transfer him to an asylum. This triggered Schumann's suicide attempt. During the two years her husband spent at the asylum she visit him only once, shortly before he died. Three of the Schumann's children suffered from severe ailements: Ludwig was schizophrenic and had been "burie aluve", as Clara put it, while Julie and Felix had tuberculosis. Clara never visited Ludwig in the asylum, and when the other two died, she was too busy to attend the funerals and to mourn. She had concerts to give.
While Clara did occasionally compose, she felt no inner voice that wanted to express itself in a piece of music. She had to be pushed, by her father, by her husband. She had an excellent pianistic technique, she exercised a lot and sometimes against medical advice, but her style did not please all. Masterful yes, but too dry, too academic – those are the judgments of experts of her time.
Clara Wieck was obsessed by her career as a pianist. She had been trained by an ambitious father, she had been held back by an ambitious husband, but once Robert Schumann was dead, Clara Wieck's career took of. She earned fame all over Europe and quickly became a very rich woman. At the same time her excuse for devoting very little to her children was that she had to give concerts to feed the family. A blatant lie, one of many.
Here is another one. Clara Wieck and Johannes Brahms – the story of a truly legendary friendship? Brahms had fallen in love with her and courted her for years. She gladly accepted his devotion while her husband was still alive. After his death, her initial friendship to the young composer evolved into real love and a romance. It did not last however, and somehow both settled for long-lasting friendship. The details are unknown, Clara erased most traces and spread a narrative that suited her best. Appearances mattered.
Clara Wieck – since I have read Kühn's biography, her name triggers in me ambiguous feelings. I like her compositions, I find her career as a female pianist in a reactionary Germany impressive, but I judge her tendency to run away from painful moments and truths appalling. Her many efforts to spread myths glorifying her husband and her relationship to him, her insistence that it was her duty as a mother to give hundreds of concerts over decades when it was pure vanity repulse me.
I am glad I read this book. I might have fallen for the embellished picture that Clara Wieck has spread about herself. When she was a very young girl and did not yet think of manipulating people, she wrote a wonderful work, her Piano Concerto in A minor:
Un air de Chopin signed Clara Wieck

The Weight Of The World: Transforming Discontent Into Thoughtful Action
I can't shake this feeling that I need to speed up, but recognize the pull backwards, as I simultaneously feel the need to slow down. There is a stickiness to this that seems to amplify the feeling of unrest that I think is as pervasive, as it is universal, for human beings everywhere. Although feeling the pull in both directions is difficult, we have the ability to manage all of it.
The speeding up comes from the need to get on with things. Figuring out what this means in our present climate, and what is being referred to as the "new normal," has been challenging. The chatter in our minds that we try to outrun, that noise we all know intimately (and perhaps privately), that compels us to do more, and to be more, seems to be getting louder as we shelter in place, cancel trips, and peek through the curtains at a world that is the old familiar, but now feels alien. It is a world that we feel has betrayed us, but it is also a world that screams back at us, because we were the ones that betrayed it first. Feeling stuck, holding quite literally, the weight of the world, we remain closed for now. But the chatter tells us we need to get moving again.
I understand the experience of discontent. As humans, the drive to build, and rebuild, flows freely from this type of emptiness, but it is also a feeling that can prompt growth even as it weighs us down. Feeling like we can do more, and be more, is what nudges us forward. But it is also something that has to be held gently, with compassion for ourselves, and also for those around us. The drive to be better can be powerful, but requires thoughtful action if we are going to successfully dig our way out, versus digging deeper in. Although there are many techniques and strategies to quell the thirst, movement is what sustains us, and has since the beginning. Recently, a client of mine discussed how she slips into self-deprecation only when she has nothing planned, does not have a project to work on, or activities to keep her occupied. Although we have to tend to balance always, I believe that movement has been her antidote. She understands herself along with her nature.
As human beings, we are supposed to feel discontent, but with movement hindered by the state of things, it may at times feel unbearable. Find creative ways to grow, move, and process your experience. Complete small tasks. We live in a world that wants us to find our way, and this is possible. Inspiration is literally everywhere. It stands strongly in the challenges we have overcome, and is sparked by the kindness of others every day. Inspiration lives in, and outside our walls, but without awareness, it can remain hidden in plain sight. This, of course, brings me back to the moment. Because here, I can reflect on the direction I am headed along with what inspires it. Standing still, at least for a moment, gives me the opportunity to make sure that every step I take is in line with where I want to go.
In this vein, I understand the importance of slowing down. It is not a pull backwards, but rather one that promises to help us move forward in a way that feeds us all. Being mindful of what we are doing keeps us in a state of gratitude, and also reminds us to tend to the world around us, and the people she sustains. Keep going, but remain thoughtful as you do. Savor the beauty that resides in your home, and is most certainly there outside your window. The world continues to move on her axis regardless of the things that happen. How fast she moves is not the point.
What inspires you? How can you give yourself a daily dose of inspiration?
How do you experience discontent? Where do you feel it in your body? What thoughts or behavior do you engage in that help you move through feeling discontent?
What does balance mean to you? How can you create habits that are in line with your definition of balance?
What are your goals? What steps can you continue to take to reach them? How will you mark progress?
Have faith. Keep going.

Like all James Bond fans, we took the news of the delayed release of No Time To Die rather hard. Of course we were as eager as anyone to pick up the plotline five years after Blofeld's capture and Bond's retirement from MI6, but we were even more excited to see the wardrobe we had worked on for Ralph Fiennes's character M's return to the big screen.
In the past twelve months, our bespoke department has been working with Mr Fiennes back-to-back on the productions he has been involved in. From The King's Man, the WWI set prequel to Kingsman, the above mentioned Bond chapter No Time To Die and The Forgiven, a project with Jessica Chastain that had just started shooting in Morocco. Our working relationship with Mr Fiennes goes back over 15 years, to his debut appearance as Lord Voldemort in Harry Potter And The Goblet Of Fire.
With the worldwide halt to these, and most other movie release dates this summer, we thought we thought it might be an apt time to consider a handful of some of the barnstorming roles we have had the pleasure of seeing Mr Fiennes perform in.
After years of treading the boards, and a slew of critically acclaimed supporting roles, Fiennes' eponymous lead in Anthony Minghella's evocative, unfurling take on Michael Ondaatje's epic novel is rightly viewed as his breakthrough masterpiece. Justice is served to the book's labyrinthine plot, and Fiennes is powerful and empathetic as the mysterious bedbound airman recovering in an WWII Italian monastery. It's often been noted that the film requires two watches: one for the questions, and one for the answers.
ONEGIN (1999)
Perhaps the most successful, although still relatively unknown, adaptation of Aleksander Pushkin's 1833 Russian verse novel. Director and Fiennes' sister Martha cast him as the titular aristocratic antihero, and his portrayal is as cynical and decadent as the role requires before he is poetically humbled before love's altar (in the shape of Liv Tyler's Tatyana). St Petersburg's cold magnificent grandeur adds to this making it an unmissable period drama.
The first of Timothy Everest's costume collaborations with Mr Fiennes on the Bond franchise, and perhaps our very favourite. As sales director Lee Rekert put it "We were given the task of dressing Ralph as he evolved into the character of M. Through the film we had to dress him in a way that slowly revealed his developing importance; to empower him via his wardrobe, if you will." The combination of Fiennes' performance with the double breasted chalk stripe suit in which we dressed him is explosive to say the least.
Fiennes is electric in Luca Guadagnino's story of a reclusive rock star recovering from throat surgery whose quietude is shattered by her record producer's arrival on her Italian holiday island. Fiennes' Harry is arrogant and impetulant as the Svengali and ex lover to Tilda Swinton's mute singer who struggles with his brash presence and the tension slowly ratchets up until the shocking, yet inevitable conclusion.
WHITE CROW (2018)
Double duty for Fiennes in this dramatisation of the early life and defection to the west of Russian ballet star Rudolf Nureyev. He plays the ballet teacher Alexander Pushkin; mentor to the young Nureyev, and alchemist of his raw talent, capturing the teacher's weariness and profound lack of comprehension at the young ballet star's mercurial arrogance. He also confidently directs the film, making particularly kinetic work of the ballet performances themselves.

Why so many language schools are so deceptive
How can teachers, new and old alike, protect themselves from deceptive employers? Asking a lot of questions can help, not because the employer is always likely to answer in a straightforward manner, rather it can reveal their level of knowledge and experience in the industry.

Arrogance at the top and the politics of language schools
I realize that many language schools have a huge problem listening to their teachers, especially the native English teachers. It's as if they want us to shut up and tow the party line; don't rock the boat; don't try to fix things. How is anything suppose to change for the better in an atmosphere like that? It's not enough for many language schools to tell us what to teach; they also feel they need to tell us what to think. It's their way or the highway.

In Clarence's Time - Mr. Bicknell or the Rev. Bicknell?
Skribita de Marcus Bicknell on 17 Septembro 2017 .
Graham Avery writes...
"Clarence was active as a pastor, even after he gave up his work in the Church.
"I use the expression 'gave up his work in the Church' because it's misleading to say that he 'left the Church'. He didn't send a letter to the Bishop resigning his post at Bordighera; he didn't need to since, like his predecessors, he was appointed for one season.
"A person ordained as a priest continues to be 'in holy orders' unless the Church expels him, which as far as we know was not the case for Clarence. The canon law of the Church of England says that "No person who has been admitted to the order of bishop, priest, or deacon can ever be divested of the character of his order" though the Church has processes to allow clergy (by own volition or otherwise) to cease to function in the role, see article at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defrocking#Anglicanism
"One should therefore consider Clarence after 1879 as a priest of the Church of England without ecclesiastical function - in fact, he was still entitled to be addressed as 'The Reverend' though evidently he didn't want that. "
