Francis Baily (28 de abril de 1774 - 30 de agosto de 1844) fue un astrónomo británico. Su nombre está unido al fenómeno conocido como perlas de Baily, que son una serie de puntos luminosos con apariencia de diamantes visibles alrededor del perímetro de la silueta de la Luna durante algunos eclipses de Sol.

Biografía
Baily nació en Newbury, (Berkshire) en 1774, hijo de Richard Baily. Tras un viaje por zonas todavía sin colonizar de Norte América en 1796–1797 (cuyo diario fue editado cincuenta años después por el matemático Augustus de Morgan en 1856), Baily comenzó a trabajar en la Bolsa de Londres en 1799. El éxito de sus publicaciones económicas (como las Tablas de Adquisición y Renovación de Alquileres (1802), La Doctrina de Intereses y Anualidades (1808), o La Doctrina de Anualidades de Seguros de Vida (1810)), le hicieron ganar una gran reputación como experto en tasas de mortalidad; amasando una considerable fortuna que le permitió retirarse de los negocios en 1825, y dedicarse a tiempo completo a su verdadera pasión, la astronomía.

Hacia 1820, Baily participó en la fundación de la Royal Astronomical Society, recibiendo la Medalla de oro de esta institución en 1827 y en 1843, siendo su presidente en cuatro ocasiones.

También fue elegido miembro extranjero honorario de la Academia Americana de Artes y Ciencias en 1832.

Falleció en Londres el 30 de agosto de 1844 y fue enterrado en la sepultura familiar de la St Mary's Church de Thatcham.

Realizaciones

Recomendó a la British Association en 1837, y en gran parte ejecutó, la reducción de los catálogos de Joseph Lalande y Nicolas Louis de Lacaille conteniendo alrededor de 57.000 estrellas; y supervisó la compilación del Catálogo de 8377 estrellas de la British Association (publicado en 1845); y la revisión de los catálogos de Tobias Mayer, Ptolomeo, Ulugh Beg, Tycho Brahe, Edmund Halley y Hevelius.

Su observación de las "perlas de Baily" durante un eclipse anular de sol el 15 de mayo de 1836, inauguró la era moderna de las expediciones astronómicas. Este fenómeno es debido a que el disco de la Luna, en tales circunstancias no cubre exactamente el disco solar, dejando filtrar alrededor de su circunferencia brillos de luz, siendo este efecto especialmente notable durante el eclipse total del 8 de julio de 1842, observado por el propio Baily desde Pavía.

También realizó experimentos con péndulos con los que dedujo con gran precisión la elipticidad de la forma de la Tierra, y entre 1838 y 1842 reconstruyó las laboriosas operaciones de Henry Cavendish para calcular la densidad media de la Tierra, obteniendo un valor contrastado de 5,66 kg/dm³.

Su recapitulación de los trabajos de John Flamsteed publicada en (1835) (incluyendo la reedición del British Catalogue) es de fundamental importancia para la historia científica de esta época.

Reconocimientos
 La aleación metálica de gran estabilidad con la que se materializó el estándar de la yarda en 1855 (16 partes de cobre; 2,5 de estaño; y 1 parte de cinc) es denominada "metal de Baily".
 Una escuela primaria local de su localidad natal de Tatchman (la Francis Baily CofE Primary School) conmemora a Baily.
 El cráter lunar Baily lleva este nombre en su honor.
 El asteroide (3115) Baily también conmemora su nombre.

The Current Standard Model of the Universe asserts that the universe is generated from a single Big Bang event followed by inflation. There is no center to this universe, hence, no preferential reference frame to describe the motions of celestial objects. We propose a new, Shell Model of the Universe, which contends that the universe is created from multiple, concentric big bangs. Accordingly, that origin presents itself as a unique, preferential reference frame, which furnishes the simplest description of the motions of galaxies in the cosmos. This is similar in manner to how planetary motion is more straightforwardly described via a sun-centered Solar System rather than an earth-centered one. The appeal of the Shell Model of the Universe lies in its simplistic ability to resolve the paradox of quasars, explain the variability in Hubble's Constant, and solve the problematic accelerated expansion of the universe.
frame, and is defined to be the wavelength of the corresponding spectral band as measured in a moving frame. Determining intergalactic distances has always presented itself as the more difficult challenge, especially when gauging comparatively large ones. However, recent advances in technology, the aid of the Hubble Space Telescope, and the development of new measuring techniques have allowed astronomers to measure distances out to 400 Mpc  . Capitalizing on the recent progression, the Hubble Space Telescope Key Project to Measure the Hubble Constant has obtained a value of  . Presently, Hubble's Law stands as one of the fundamental pillars of modern day astrophysics. Roughly 70 years later, this observation is still helping to shape the current theories in astronomy.
where f is the apparent brightness of the celestial body. The quest to find such a "standard candle" was fulfilled with the suggestion to use the intensely studied type Ia supernovae.
Astronomers jumped at the chance to employ this newly discovered astronomical tool, feverishly searching for distant type Ia supernovae to probe into the universe's expansion history. By studying remote members of this class of stellar objects, scientists expected to find the expansion rate of the universe to be decreasing over time. Their expectations were largely influenced by the standard model of the universe at that time, which stated that our mass-dominated universe arose following the Big Bang and inflation  . Under that model, as time progressed, the mass generated during the birth of the universe should have served to slow the expansion of the universe, a consequence of the attractive, decelerating gravitational effects. Astronomers were hoping to confirm this theory by finding Hubble's Constant of the past, , which is related galaxies further away from us, to be greater than Hubble's Constant of the present, , which is related to galaxies closer to us.
After studying a number of distant type Ia supernovae, astronomers discovered these objects to be at greater distances, , than expected given their recession velocities, . This implied that these objects had moved further over time than had been anticipated. After applying Hubble's Law to their analyses, they discovered Hubble's Constant of present to be greater than Hubble's Constant of the past, , signifying an accelerated expansion of the universe over time! This led astronomers to revise the standard model of the universe by the addition of "dark energy," which presently dominates the decelerating effects of matter and serves to accelerate the expansion of the universe. Currently, the best fitting mathematical models used to simulate the universe show mass energy density to be within a factor of two of "dark energy" density, implying that we are witness to a unique era where the universe is transitioning from matter dominance to "dark energy" dominance. It seems almost unreasonably coincidental that mankind just happened to be studying the expansion of the universe and that technology had advanced just enough to be able to conduct this investigation, during this special transformation period. Many prominent astrophysicists believe this fortuitous set of events signify that there is some fundamental physics that is missing from the Current Standard Model of the Universe  .
In addition to helping shape the Current Standard Model of the Universe, Hubble's Law also has implications to many other aspects of astronomy. In particular, this simple concept has affected how astronomers view the nature of quasars. Quasars, often referred to as quasi-stellar objects or QSO's for short, were first discovered in 19631. Their most intriguing aspect lies in their enormously high redshifts, which by Hubble's Law implies that they are receding away from us at extremely high relative velocities. The exceedingly large recession velocities of quasars imply that they are at distances of 5 to 10 billion light years from the earth. Furthermore, the apparent brightness of a QSO at such enormous separations would imply an energy output of 100 times that of the entire Milky Way Galaxy generated by an object roughly the size of our Solar System! There is no simple explanation for these phenomena, and it is proposed that matter falling into very massive black holes is the mechanism whereby such enormous amounts of energy are energy.
The variations in Hubble's Constant, the accelerated expansion of the universe, and the tremendous power output of quasars are all explained by the Current Standard Model of the Universe using rather complicated mathematical models. The Shell Model of the Universe was developed to provide a new, alternative framework for interpreting astronomical observations. This unconventional model asserts that the universe is comprised of numerous radially-expanding, concentric, galactic shells, each the result of a big bang. Figure 1, including Figure 1(a) and Figure 1(b), shows that all galaxies residing on the same shell are at a corresponding age. The contention is that our universe is conglomerate of numerous, unequally-matured shells created from multiple big bangs with a common origin and not simply a center-less collection of masses generated by a single Big Bang per the Current Standard Model of the Universe. Figure 1(a) represents the cross-sectional view of the Shell Model of the Universe.
In order for the framework provided by the Shell Model of the Universe to be relevant and useful for discussing astronomical phenomena, it must be based on real observations. Because no galaxies observed have exhibited blueshifts, only redshifts, the multiple big bangs must have a common center. One piece of data that is crucial to the construction of this model is the largest observed redshift of , which belongs to a quasar discovered by the Sloan Digital Sky Survey  . Based on this information and a couple of simple assumptions, the expansion velocity of the concentric, galactic shells can be calculated to be 0.762c. Other applicable pieces of data emerge from observations that certain aged stars in our galaxy are approximately 12.5 billions years old and that the universe as a whole is roughly 14 billions years of age   . This places the age of our galactic shell between 12.5 and 14 billion years. Note that a value of 13.5 billion years will be selected for discussion purposes. Because the universe was confirmed to be flat by evidence from the microwave background radiation  , interstellar distances can be gauged using straight lines with no need for non-Euclidean geometry. The Shell Model that will be used to analyze the quasar paradox, the variability of Hubble's Constant, and the accelerated expansion of the universe will consist of five shells: 1) the shell containing our galaxy, which is at an age of 13.5 billion years, 2) a shell one billion years younger than ours at an age of 12.5 billion years, 3) a shell one billion years older than ours at an age of 14.5 billion years, 4) a shell six billion years younger than ours at an age of 7.5 billion years, and 5) a shell six billion years older than ours at an age of 19.5 billion years (see Figure 1(b)).
Figure 1. (a) This figure represents the cross-sectional view of a three-shelled model of the universe. All three shells are expanding radially outward at the same velocity. S designates the center of the universe, and Galaxy M represents our galaxy. Galaxies B and Y reside on the same shell as us and are at the same age as our galaxy. Galaxies A and X are located on an inner shell with respect to our galaxy, while Galaxies C and Z are on an outer shell. (b) This is a representation of the Shell Model of the Universe in 3 dimensions. This working model will consists of five shells: 1) the shell containing our galaxy, which is at an age of 13.5 billion years, 2) a shell one billion years younger than ours at an age of 12.5 billion years, 3) a shell one billion years older than ours at an age of 14.5 billion years, 4) a shell six billion years younger than ours at an age of 7.5 billion years, and 5) a shell six billion years older than ours at an age of 19.5 billion years, which are represented by blue, green, red, cyan, and magenta, respectively.
For simplicity, this model ignores the decelerating effects of gravitation and assumes that the five galactic shells all have the same, constant radial expansion velocity of .
This section will outline the methodology used to arrive at a value of for the expansion velocity of the universe. As was mentioned earlier, the largest observed redshift of 2 belongs to a quasar. By substituting that value into the aforementioned Doppler relation stated in (2), we can determine that the quasar is receding away from us at the tremendous relative velocity of . Imagine a typical, spherical balloon being inflated. Perceptively, different points on the balloon's surface will recede from the mouth of the balloon at unequal rates with the end located directly opposite the distention point retreating most rapidly. Of all celestial objects, quasars have the highest relative velocities with respect to us. The Shell Model of the Universe logically places them on the other half of the shell nearly completely opposite the Milky Way. Because all galactic shells are assumed to maintain the same expansion velocity, quasars could hypothetically reside on any of them, the crucial factor being that their movements are oriented in a direction completely opposite ours along the diagonal connecting our galaxy to the center (see Figure 2).
Figure 2. M designates our Milk Way Galaxy. Quasars (Q1, Q2, and Q3) can be found in one of three places. They can either reside on the same shell as our galaxy, on an inner shell relative to our galaxy, or on an outer shell relative to our galaxy. All shells are expanding radially outward at V. The quasars' locations on the shells are such that they are moving in a direction opposite to ours.
Figure 3. (a) S designates the center of the multiple big bangs, while M represents our Milky Way Galaxy. Frame M moves with velocity u with respect to S, and Q travels with velocity with respect to Frame S. u is parallel to . (b) Our galaxy M and quasar Q are both receding from the center of the universe M at the expansion velocity of the universe V. Because the highest observed redshift for a quasar is discovered by the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, that quasar is assumed to be in an orientation directly opposite ours, i.e. .
In these formulae, u is oriented parallel to (see Figure 3(a)).
Thus, for a relative velocity of , the expansion velocity of the universe can be determined to be . This value will be utilized throughout the remainder of this discussion.
In this section, we focus our attention on determining the age and the number of galactic shells, correspondingly, the time in between and abundance of big bangs. Hubble's Constant, , has been estimated to be between and , but for sake of simplicity a value of will be used. The traditional units used to express Hubble's Constant can be converted to other units using dimensional analysis to yield an value of . Hubble Time or is often associated with the age of the universe, and a Hubble's Constant value of translates to an age of approximately 14 billion years. Indeed, other methods have confirmed the age of the universe to be more or less that value  . Additionally, the age of old stars in our galaxy have been estimated at 12.5 billion years  , which places the age of our Milky Way Galaxy between 12.5 and 14 billion years. For discussion purposes, it would not be unreasonable to approximate the age of the shell containing our galaxy at 13.5 billion years. The other four shells in this working model of the universe were assigned ages of 7.5, 12.5, 14.5, and 19.5 billion years. These numbers have been chosen to provide a wide range of values for analysis. These figures and even the shell count will undoubtedly need to be refined to fit astronomical data, but as a first estimate, they will serve to provide valuable insight. With this, the foundation has been laid to begin construction of a working Shell Model of the Universe.
The model that will be employed later for discussion purposes asserts that the universe was created 19.5 billion years ago, when the first big bang generated the outermost of the five shells in our universe3. Accompanying the first big bang was the first inflation that sent the mass engendered flying radially outwards at very rapid speeds. As the effects of inflation subsided, the outermost shell settled at the current expansion velocity of .
Five billion years after that first cataclysmic event, another big bang generated the second to the outermost shell. Following a period of inflation, that shell also settled at its current expansion velocity of . This process was repeated again one billion years after the second big bang (six billion years after the first big bang) to produce the shell that would eventually give rise to our Milky Way Galaxy. The second to the innermost and the innermost shells were created by the same processes seven and twelve billion years, respectively, after the first big bang. Finally, 7.5 billion years after the most recent big bang, we arrive at the current state of our universe. All five shells have assumed a constant expansion velocity of following the relatively brief inflationary period that each separately underwent4.
Figure 4. (a) The universe as described by the Shell Model of the Universe began when the first big bang generated the outermost shell (magenta). (b) After the outermost shell has expanded for 5 billion years at velocity V, the second big bang created the second the outermost shell (red). (c) After the outermost shell has expanded for an additional 1 billion years at velocity V, the third big bang created third shell (blue), which is also our shell. (d) After the outermost shell has receded from the center for a total of 7 billion years at velocity V, the fourth big bang conceived the fourth shell (green). (e) 12 billion years after the creation of the universe, the final big bang gave rise to the inner most shell (cyan). (f) 7.5 billion years after the conception of the final shell, our universe has arrived at its present state.
elapsing and space being occupied  . The first big bang generated a sizeable amount of energy in the form of light along with the cosmic mass it created. One of Einstein's postulates of Special Relativity states that the speed of light is constant. Bearing that in mind along with the simple relation: distance = speed ´ time, then the distance traveled by the light generated during the first big bang is, in essence, a timepiece recording the age of the universe. The expansion velocity of the shells in our model of the universe maintains a one-to-one correspondence with that light by sustaining a constant value of with respect to an observer at the center of the universe. Hence, the distance traveled by the expanding shells can also be used to record the passage of time. It should be recognized that none of the galactic shells have sustained that constant expansion velocity throughout their maturation. This is especially true during inflation, when the expansion speeds far exceed that value  . However, the duration of the inflationary periods is comparatively small to the timescale we are working with, which makes the approximation within reason.
Now that a working Shell Model of the Universe has been constructed, we will proceed to examine its utility in interpreting astronomical observations.
As a concrete example, a value of 30˚ will be substituted for along with the previously calculated value for the expansion velocity of . From this, a value of is obtained for . This means that under this given model, all galaxies that form a 30˚ angle with the center of the universe and the Milky Way will be receding from us at a relative velocity of , a value that can be measured from the redshift. Indeed, the relative velocity of any galaxy with respect to our reference frame, remains solely a function of the expansion velocity of the universe and the angle formed by the body, the origin of the big bangs, and our galaxy.
Figure 5. Our galaxy is designated by the letter M. Galaxy B resides on the same shell as us, while Galaxy A resides on an inner shell with respect to ours and Galaxy C resides on an outer shell with respect to ours. All galaxies are receding radially from S at the same expansion velocity V. . The relative velocities of A, B, and C with respect to M are all the same and are only functions of V and , where and and .

consistent with principles stating that movement is the most fundamental quantity/unit; only when we have movement, we have the concepts of elapsing and space being occupied, discussed earlier in Section 2.3.
When we take a gander up at the night sky and see Galaxy B, we are not looking at Galaxy B at its present location. Rather, we are looking at Galaxy B of the past and light that is t years old from a time when Galaxy B was still at B′. Thus, when astronomers measure the distance to Galaxy B, they are actually measuring the distance to B′ and not to Galaxy B′s current location, which is presently unobservable. Here we make the distinction that the measured astronomical distances are actually the distances traveled by the light before hitting our eyes or instrument (the light-traveled distances, d) and not the actual distance to the celestial object's current position. Computing d is straightforward, as it is simply a product of the speed of light and the time traveled by the light, i.e.
This concept is extremely important, because it is this the accurate measurement of this value that sparked the search for a standard candle. It was also the employment of this value in calculating Hubble's Constants of the past and present that led to the conclusion that our universe was undergoing an accelerated expansion.
Figure 6. Our Milky Way Galaxy is designated by M, while S represents the center of the universe. Galaxy B resides on the same shell as us, which is at an age of t0. M is currently receiving light that is t years old from a time, t0 − t, when Galaxy B was still at B′. Time is accounted for by placing B′ at a radius of r and B and M at a radius of R. The distance from M to B′ is d.
can be derived from this diagram using the law of cosines. Using this formula, we are able to calculate t, given the expansion velocity of the universe, the current age of our shell, and , which will correspond to a particular redshift. After obtaining a value for t, the Cartesian coordinates of B' can be computed using the following relations.
As an example, if the age of our shell is , the expansion velocity of the universe is , and the angle formed by the trajectory vectors of Galaxy M and B is , then the time it has taken for the light to reach our eyes from B′ is from a distance of . Hence, in our survey of the sky, Galaxy B appears to be at B′ from relation (11a-b) when in reality it has already moved to the position B . In Figure 7(a), the coordinates of B′ were determined for a variety of values and graphed as the blue line.
Figure 7. (a) This is a representation the Shell Model of our universe as currently seen from our galaxy, M, which resides in a shell of age t0 = 13.5 Gyr. S is the center of our universe. The blue line represents our perspective of galaxies that share the same shell as ours; the green line, a shell 1 billion years younger than ours; the red line, a shell 1 billion years older than ours, and the magenta line, a shell 6 billion years older than ours. (b) This is representation of the 5-shelled model of our universe. his defers from (a) in that this is from the perspective of an omniscient observer who is able to instantaneously view the entirety of the universe. The blue line represents galaxies that share the same shell as ours, the green line, a shell 1 billion years younger than ours; the red line, a shell 1 billion years older than ours, and the magenta line, a shell 6 billion years older than ours. This figure also has a cyan line, which represents a shell 6 billion years younger than ours. It is not present in (a), because the light from galaxies in that shell has not reached us yet.
Figure 8. Our Milky Way Galaxy, which is designated by the letter M, is at an age of t0. S represents the center of the universe. Galaxy A, which resides on a shell T years younger than ours, is at an age of t0 − T. M is presently receiving light that is t years old when Galaxy A was still at A′. Time is accounted for by placing A′ at a radius of r and M at a radius of R. The distance measured to A′ from M is d.
and the radius of the shell in which M is located is given by the same relation stated in (8).
Reasonable values for V and have already been established, and can be correlated to the object's recession velocity. All that remains in solving for t is making reasonable estimates5 for T. The coordinates of A' are given by (11a-b).
If , , , and the inner shell that A resides on is younger than our shell, then the time it has taken for the light to reach us from A′ is t = 6.96 Gyr from a distance of d = 6.96 Glyr. This places A′ at the coordinates , although Galaxy A has long since moved to the position . Similar calculations were performed for a number of values and plotted as the green line in Figure 7(a). An identical set of computations were performed for and an array of 's. However, negative values were obtained for t, implying that no light from the 6 billion-year history of this younger shell has yet reached our galaxy.
and M at a radius given by (8).
Figure 9. Our Milky Way Galaxy is represented by the letter M and is at an age of t0. S is the center of the multiple big bangs. Galaxy C resides on a shell T years older than ours and is at an age of t0 + T. M is currently receiving light that is t years old from a time when Galaxy C was still at C′. Time is designated by placing C′ at a radius r and M at a radius R. The distance to C′ from M is d.
can be derived to solve for t. Again, values for the expansion velocity of the universe (V) and the age of our shell ( ) have already been reasonably determined, all that remains to solve for t is inputting appropriate values for T for a broad range of 's.
For example, if , , , and the outer shell that C resides on is older than our shell, then the time it has taken for the light to reach us from C' is from a distance of . Although Galaxy C is now currently at the position , we perceive it to be at C' . Similarly calculated values were obtained for a variety of 's and diagramed as the red line in Figure 7(a). The magenta line in this figure represents similar computations performed for an outer shell older than ours.
Assuming that our universe can be modeled by a Shell Model of the Universe consisting of five shells: 1) the shell containing our galaxy, which is at an age of 13.5 billion years, 2) a shell one billion years younger than ours at an age of 12.5 billion years, 3) a shell one billion years older than ours at an age of 14.5 billion years, 4) a shell six billion years younger than ours at an age of 7.5 billion years, and 6) a shell six billion years younger than ours at an age of 19.5 billion years, Figure 7(a) represents the universe as presently seen by us, here in the Milky Way. This is to be contrasted with the actual state of the universe shown in Figure 7(b), which is from the vantage point of an observer sitting at the center of the big bangs, taking a record of motions of objects in the universe. Notice that from our perspective, we are unaware of the existence of the innermost galactic shell, whose light has yet to reach our eyes.
The previous sections provided us with the means of constructing a view of the universe based our limited, historically-based perspective (see Figure 7(a)). Additionally, it furnished us with the tools necessary to take a closer look at Hubble's Law and the ratio of . Assuming the expansion velocity of the universe to be a constant , it was shown in relation (6a-d) that the relative velocity of any galaxy with respect to our reference frame, remains solely function of the angle, , formed between the velocity vectors of that galaxy and ours. Thus, assuming no change in the expansion rate, the relative velocity of all galaxies with respect to us should remain the same, because the angle formed by the velocity vectors does not change.
Additionally, we derived methods for determining the light-traveled distance, , which is the distance that astronomers are interested in measuring using standard candles, by examining the following three cases: 1) the light source is from a galaxy that presently resides on the same shell as us, 2) the light source is from a galaxy that presently resides on an inner shell relative to ours, and 3) the light source is from a galaxy that presently resides on an outer shell relative to ours. To solve for t, we employ the law of cosines relations stated in Equations (10), (13) and (15) respectively, for the three cases.
Suppose Galaxies A, B, and C are all expanding along the same line, such that their trajectory vectors make a 30 degree angle, , with our velocity vector. With respect to our galactic shell, Galaxy A presently resides on an inner shell and Galaxy B resides on the same shell, while Galaxy C resides on an outer shell (see Figure 5). The age difference between our shell and the inner and outer shells is 1 billion years, i.e. . Using the previously calculated values for expansion velocity of the universe, , and the age of our shell, t0 = 13.5 Gyr, we can arrive at and compare the ratio of for the three cases. There are the first case of galaxy B residing on the same shell as our galaxy, the second case of galaxy A residing on an inner shell with respect ours, and galaxy C residing on an out shell with respect to ours. Because is the same for Galaxies A, B, and C, the recession velocities of these galaxies are all .
for Galaxy B at B′.
for Galaxy A at A′.
for Galaxy C at C′.
tion in the ratio of can be attributed to the model under which the astronomical phenomena are interpreted.
Dark energy has no place in this new model.
The appeal to this new Shell Model of the Universe over the Current Standard Model of the Universe lies in its simplicity and its ability to straightforwardly address the quasar paradox, the variation in "Hubble's Constant," and the purported accelerated expansion of the universe. Consideration of this new model would seriously call to question not only the current model but more fundamentally, Hubble's Law. Just from the example above, we see that there is no one-to-one correspondence between and d, as stated by "Hubble's Relation": . Undoubtedly, this new Shell Model of the Universe requires refinement. However, as a rough first model, it provides invaluable insight and seriously challenges current prevailing theories. For instance, the enormously large redshifts of quasars are a result of their orientation with respect to us and are not at the extensive distances implied by "Hubble's Law." Because those phenomena are not as far away as previously imagined, there is no enormous energy output to explain by matter falling into black holes.
A useful model should not only be able to explain current phenomena but should also be able to make predictions.
cannot gather data from things we cannot see. In the subsequent discussion, we will calculate where that cutoff is, i.e. what is the youngest a shell can be for us to be able to see it. Looking at Figure 8, two properties should be satisfied by this hypothetical inner shell: 1) the light that is just reaching us shows the shell right as it is being born, i.e.
and 2) that light has traveled the distance that we are from the origin of the multiple big bangs, i.e.
In our current working model and , therefore, we find that . Thus, we are only able to see a hypothetical shell that is younger than ours by a maximum of 3.2 billion years. The unobservable mass in younger shells could explain some of the lost mass necessary to reach the critical density for the Big Crunch. Likewise, if the galaxies in outer shells of our universe have died a very long time ago, we may also be unable to see them, because the last of the light they emitted has already passed us by, but they will still contributors, adding to the density required for the Big Crunch. Furthermore, additional mass could potentially be generated with more and more big bangs.
Figure 10. The redshift, z, of any galaxy is a function of the expansion velocity of the universe, V, and the angle, . Assuming V to be constant, the redshift becomes solely a function of . If an observer looks to the cosmos at a particular line of sight, , they should never see a galaxy with a redshift higher than , where and and . This is because the ray that forms the angle never intersects the ray that forms .
and is given by (6a-d). It was proved earlier that recession velocity and analogously, redshifts, are only functions of the expansion velocity V and . Thus, with a value for V determined, this relation is true, because the upper ray of never intersects with the upper ray of . This ray only intersects with the rays of angles less than , which corresponds to redshift values less than . This means that if you observe the cosmos at a particular line of sight, , you should never see a galaxy with a redshift higher than . On a similar note under this Shell Model of the Universe, high redshift objects, i.e. quasars, should all be clustered around the same patch of sky, at .
This new Shell Model of the Universe has been constructed to provide simpler explanations to astronomical phenomena. This model has parsimoniously addressed the quasar paradox, the variability of "Hubble's Constant," and the purported accelerated expansion of the universe, something which the Current Standard Model of the Universe has had limited success with. In science, Ockham's Razor reigns supreme.

1The terms QSO's and quasars are used interchangeably here. It should be noted that some astronomers define quasars, i.e. quasi-stellar radio sources, to be the radio emitting subset of QSO's. Semantics should not be the focus.
2An even higher value may have been observed recently or maybe be observed in the future, but the conceptual basis for this calculation remains the same.
3Again, it should be recognized that this is an incomplete model that should be subjected to further refinement. Nevertheless, as a working model, it provides ripe ground for discussion.

Q: Match an expression that has a descendant pattern I have a complicated expression in which I have another expression p which, when it's present, I want to match the outer expression and all of its children. I was hoping for something like Descendant[p] which matches p if it appears anywhere in the child tree of the expression. For example:
X = ElementA[a,b,c,

Where:
MatchQ[X, ElementA[Descendant[foo]]]

Would match the entire expression ElementA[...] because foo appears somewhere as a descendant.


I used to love the old Space Invaders arcade game – waves of enemy attackers came in faster and faster while you tried to defend your base. With experience you could learn their tactics and get pretty adept at stopping them. For today's enterprise IT staff, consumer-grade IoT devices must certainly feel like those space invaders of old.
There's good news and bad news about these new creatures in the enterprise. The good news is that they don't start with mal-intent and can be profiled well enough to confine their activity. The bad news is that they're coming in waves, often slipping under the radar, and the consequences can be much bigger than getting blasted and placing a few more quarters in the slot.
To help enterprise IT staff deal with this new wave we released "The Enterprise IoT Security Checklist: Best Practices for Securing Consumer-Grade IoT in the Enterprise" today, outlining best practices for securing consumer-grade IoT in the enterprise. The Checklist includes ten actions, based roughly in chronological order from purchase, through installation, to ongoing support, meant to raise awareness of the common vulnerabilities presented by these devices and how to address them.
Many of these devices show up without much fanfare – smart TVs in conference rooms, smart speakers in conference rooms or at employee's desks, fitness trackers connected to smartphones that may then access the corporate network, and networked-printers with age-old software vulnerabilities.
The consequences of ignoring these new devices range from annoying to board-level critical. Intruders might be able to access these devices and pull off some mischief like changing channels or flipping things on and off. But they might also be able to monitor audio, video or data generated by these devices. In extreme cases, they may be able to use that access and surveillance to hop over to critical systems on the network, ultimately gaining access to important data – just ask the Las Vegas casino that lost 10 GB of information to a site in Finland via a hacked smart fish tank last year. Finally, these devices can be recruited to form an army to attack others on the network or the Internet a la the Mirai botnet attack.
The checklist walks through practical steps to minimize the attack surface created by these devices and the impact if they were to be compromised, but the high-level approach is to give them their own isolated network, lock down "open doors" such as default passwords, old software, open software ports, automatic connectivity and audio/video inputs, and enable encryption where possible. And the attention doesn't stop at just the devices themselves – the controlling applications and backend services also need to be well understood to reduce risk.
Ideally, IT staff can set a policy that allows these devices to be reasonably incorporated into the enterprise without restricting use so much that it prompts "shadow IoT" efforts by employees. For more comprehensive guidelines on security, privacy and lifecycle best practices for consumer-grade IoT products, see OTA's IoT Trust Framework.
Ultimately, it's good news – with proper attention you can reign in the risks associated with these new invaders and keep your base of operation safe.

Autograph manuscript poem signed
W. H. AUDEN
Item#: 90950 price:$7,200.00
"NOW THE LEAVES ARE FALLING FAST…": AUTOGRAPH MANUSCRIPT OF AUDEN'S POEM AUTUMN SONG, SIGNED BY HIM
AUDEN, W. H. Autograph manuscript poem signed. No place, no date [circa 1936]. Octavo, one leaf, written on one side only, 20 lines, five verses in black ink. $7200.
Autograph manuscript of the first published version of Auden's classic poem "Autumn Song" (here untitled) in Auden's hand, signed by him and with an interesting correction. When Auden initially wrote out the poem, he mistakenly omitted the third verse. He then went on to include this verse beneath his signature, drawing an arrow to its proper place, with his note "Sorry, I forgot this verse (I have no copy here). W.H.A."
"Autumn Song" initially appeared in Auden's 1936 collection Look, Stranger! In the coming years, Auden revised the poem substantially, with line alterations in the second, third and fourth stanzas, and a completely rewritten final stanza. The revised poem is now usually found in collections and anthologies, such as Mendelson's definitive edition of Auden's Collected Poems. This fair copy, however, hews closely to the earliest published version, indicating that it was probably written out sometime closer to the 1936 publication date, before the poet had considered revising. The poem reads in its entirety:
"Now the leaves are falling fast,
Nurse's flowers will not last;
Nurses to the graves are gone,
And the prams go rolling on.
"Whispering neighbors, left and right,
Pluck us from our real delight;
And the active hands must freeze
Lonely on the separate knees.
"Dead in hundreds at the back
Follow wooden in our track,
Arms raised stiffly to reprove
In false attitudes of love.
"Starving through the Iron Wood
Trolls run scolding for their food;
And the nightingale is dumb,
And the angel will not come.
"Cold, impossible, ahead
Lifts the mountain's lovely head
Whose white waterfall could bless
Travellers in their last distress."
In this manuscript version Auden inadvertently omitted the third verse. He then included it at the end, beneath his signature, with an arrow indicating where it should be inserted, with a brief apology to the recipient: "Sorry, I forgot this verse (I have no copy here)." He has initialed this note. "Iron Wood," in the first line of the fourth verse, appeared in the published version of this poem as "leafless wood."

When I was in college, one of my favorite subjects was apologetics. I still love apologetics. I love that our faith in Christ is a reasonable faith that can be defended reasonably. Some have said that the Apostle Paul was the first to use apologetics in defense of his faith in Christ.
In apologetics, there are many reasonable defenses for the resurrection of Christ. For example, if the body of Christ had simply been stolen by his disciples in an attempt to "fake the resurrection" what happened to all of the precautions such as the sealed tomb and the soldiers guarding the tomb. Also, what about the grave clothes that were found neatly left behind in the tomb? What about the over 500 eye witnesses of Jesus who both saw and heard, (and some even ate with!), Jesus after His resurrection. However, it's the evidence in the Bible itself that I want to focus on today. The Bible itself, in spite of being written by so many different authors over a time span of centuries, is consistent in its prophesies of the Messiah's form and place of birth, the way He would die, (even down to small details such as the amount of money that would be given to His betrayer), and in its foretelling of His resurrection. As the Scriptures foretold are four very powerful words. Jesus' life, death, and resurrection perfectly fulfilled all of the centuries of prophecies concerning the coming Messiah. The good news is, He will also fulfill the Scriptures that tell us of His return. In essence, we have a written guarantee that has been proven time and time and time again, that Jesus is Who He says He is and will do what He says He will do. Now that's good news! We serve a Living Savior Who can be counted on. Rejoice!
Powerful words indeed! I love tracing the truth that runs from Old Testament into its fulfillment in the New Covenant.
I do as well. The Bible always amazes me on how consistent and cohesive it is even though authored by so many individuals and over such a long stretch of time.
Yes, and too many skeptics who've thoroughly studied the facts you mention here, Elizabeth, have realized the insurmountable truth as well--turning from their cynicism to faith in Christ. Great thoughts, my friend! And thanks so much for visiting me at my place. I'll have to stay in touch with your blog--justfollowingJesus--as well.
Beth, I love that about the Truth, it really does set people free!
Really great news indeed. Jesus promises are real and sound. Thanks for sharing.

Cannabis in the CV: What Would Legal Recreational Marijuana Use in California Look Like?
Written by Sean Planck
Earlier this month, the 2016 Marijuana Business Factbook estimated the retail cannabis market would more than triple by 2010—becoming a $44 billion industry.
That will amount to a huge economic boost to the states that are legalizing weed. But which states will collect on the green rush first? And how will this all go down here in California?
Here's a look at what legalization may look like here in the Golden State, along with a breakdown of the states that are pretty much slam dunks to legalize this year.
California was first to legalize marijuana for medicinal use in 1996, when voters said yes to Proposition 215. Now, 20 years later, voters may very well legalize the recreational use of cannabis for adults. There are more than a dozen initiatives vying for the attention of California voters, but the one expected to get the job done is the Adult Use of Marijuana Act. Backed by venture capitalist and former Facebook executive Sean Parker, the act boasts the support of Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom, the California Medical Association, Law Enforcement Against Prohibition, the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws (NORML), the California Cannabis Industry Association, Coalition for Cannabis Policy Reform and Students for Sensible Drug Policy.
Highlights of the AUMA:
Adults 21 and older can possess an ounce of flower and 4 grams of concentrates.
Localities may ban your personal outdoor grow, but not your indoor grow. However, your landlord can still prohibit indoor grows. Personal grows are limited to six plants per residence (not per adult).
Lighting up in public would still be illegal, well, just about everywhere. Except …
Localities can allow on-site cannabis use in designated public places (marijuana lounges!), possibly including private limos and buses.
The law preserves the right of employers to drug-test their employees if they desire.
The bill gets interesting when it comes to licensing: Cannabis-business licensing in California would begin Jan. 1, 2018. The bill puts safeguards in place to protect small businesses and artisanal growers: Cultivation licenses are tiered by square feet of canopy, and large-scale grows of more than 22,000 square feet are banned for five years in an effort to keep major corporate interests at bay. Also, anybody who was not a California resident as of 2015 would be ineligible for any kind of permit until 2020.
There is also a special licensing class for "microbusinesses," meant for small artisanal operations that want to stay vertical with cultivation, extracts, distribution and retail.
Cannabis products will carry a 15 percent excise tax. The cultivation tax is $9.25 per ounce of flower, and $2.75 per ounce on leaves, plus any state and local sales taxes. Subject to ballot approval, counties have the option to impose an additional tax.
Other highlights include consumer protections including lab testing and organic certification standards; parental-rights protections for medical marijuana patients; and the expungement of marijuana crimes if the crimes would now be considered legal or misdemeanors.
Nevada and Vermont are also expected to legalize marijuana for recreational use this year, while legalization initiatives in Arizona, Connecticut, Michigan, Delaware, Maryland, Massachusetts, New York, Maine, Missouri and Ohio face tougher odds.
Regardless of the outcomes in these tougher battlegrounds, legalization is gaining momentum. The appearance of these initiatives on this many state ballots is a clear sign that national opinion and public policy are embracing legalization and the opportunities it presents.
Other Cannabis News
Pennsylvania is on track to become the 24th state to legalize cannabis for medicinal use, with the state House voting 149-43 in favor. As of this writing, the bill was moving to the state's Senate—which passed a similar bill in 2015 by a comfortable margin.
Unionization is spreading through the cannabis world, offering protections for workers in this emerging and sometimes unpredictable industry. South Coast Safe Access in Santa Ana recently became the first dispensary in Orange County to unionize, as workers entered into an agreement with the United Food and Commercial Workers Union Local 324. The UFCW seems to be looking to bolster its ranks by representing cannabis workers is all states where the plant is legal.
Three-time Duke all-American and former Chicago Bulls guard Jay Williams is calling for the NBA and other sports leagues to loosen up where cannabis is concerned, claiming that 75-80 percent of NBA players use cannabis. Williams told FoxBusiness.com: "I'm not condoning for anyone under 18 to use cannabis or marijuana, but from a medical perspective, it's about time some of these brands like the NBA and MLB become a little bit more progressive and start thinking forward instead of being held captive in the past."

The ASA joins with The Ocean Cleanup to fight against oceanic plastic pollution.
About 8 million tons of plastic enters the ocean each year. At least one million seabirds, and one-hundred thousand marine mammals die each year as a result of this plastic pollution.
The Ocean Cleanup develops technologies to extract, prevent, and intercept plastic pollution. The Ocean Cleanup's goal is to fuel the world's fight against oceanic plastic pollution, by initiating the largest cleanup in history.
ASA is partnering with the Ocean Cleanup to document this historic research effort. OC staff member / biologist Stella Diamant will be sending ASA photos and information live from the Pacific Garbage Patch – stay tuned for updates as they happen!
In August 2015 more than 35 vessels will collect plastic measurements over a 3,500,000 km² area between Hawaii and California creating the first high-resolution map of plastic pollution in the Pacific Ocean.
QUIZ – How much do you know about plastic pollution?
As sailors, we believe the oceans need help and protection. Our hope is all sailors will do what they can, individually and collectively, to reduce plastic consumption and thereby alleviate what the oceans and the living beings that live there are being asked to bear. Remember – today it's the fish, turtles and seabirds – tomorrow it's us. Okay sermon over – take the quiz – it's actually fun!
Stella Diamant works for The Ocean Cleanup. She is currently in the middle of the Great Pacific Garbage Patch sailing on a Gunboat 66 called Extreme H2O collecting plastic pollution samples as part of the expedition that she helped put together.
From the shores of Hawaii, and the shores of the mainland the Mega Expedition has begun… 24 sailboats are out in the middle of the Pacific collecting more plastic measurements in 3 weeks than have been collected in the past 40 years combined. Any day now we expect to hear from Stella Diamant, the Mega Expedition Coordinator, onboard Extreme H2O as they traverse the notorious Pacific Garbage Patch where so much of these plastics congregate. ASA will be conducting satellite interviews with The Ocean Cleanup team detailing what they are seeing and how their historic missing is progressing. Stay tuned for more updates!
This picture shows how much trash was collected in a single net, during a one hour trawl. This is simply more proof that plastic pollution is a real problem in the middle of the Pacific. See how "new" the plastic looks – that just goes to show this problem isn't going to fix itself – we all have to do more to help clean up our oceans! Get Involved Now!
The Ocean Cleanups mothership has arrived at the center of the Garbage Patch in the middle of the Pacific. The 171 ft Ocean Starr has been fitted with two very large nets, designed to capture high volumes of all sizes of plastic debris. It will also be flying a high-altitude balloon that will be able to photograph a larger area, helping The Ocean Cleanup to quantify the rarest but heaviest pieces of debris, such as ghost nets. Track The Mega Expedition LIVE!
An open ocean isn't always kind, in fact, it rarely is. Although this year's Transpac didn't involve heavy winds, it was full of somewhat odd weather that had a tendency to put a beating on many of the competing boats – Transformer being one. The 52-foot Beneteau was as prepared as any boat in the race but suffered impairment to its electrical system, leaving the crew with nearly no electrical capabilities for at least half the race. Light winds and contrasting squalls made the crossing a trying affair. As a result Transformer plans to remain in Hawaii indefinitely until it is repaired before taking on the 2,000-mile voyage back to Los Angeles. This means that Transformer will most likely no longer participate.

Directed by: Scott Cohen
Country: USA / Argentina
Movie Review: Scott Cohen's debut feature "Red Knot" doesn't disappoint, capturing stunning images and extracting emotional heft from the drama of a freshly married couple who faces the possibility of separation during their very unusual honeymoon. Olivia Thirlby and Vincent Kartheiser give shape to the newlyweds, Chloe and Peter Harrison, two New Yorkers who decide to spend their honeymoon in a research vessel en route from Argentina to Antarctica. Everything pointed to a serene expedition, instructive at the most, if Peter had paid more attention to his forlorn wife instead of converting their first trip together into work. As a writer and enthusiast of nature, he takes the opportunity to write an article about the explorers who travel with them, which includes the respected marine biologist Roger Payne (himself) and his wife, Lisa. He often seems to forget that Chloe is present, and is more interested in listening to conversations about whales and penguins rather than provide an unforgettable, romantic trip to the one he loves. A silent tension installs itself, ready to explode at any moment, which eventually happens when she finds out through Lisa that Peter is already committed for another trip next year. Before, a conversation about having children had already set a conspicuous discomfort in their relationship, but now Chloe feels really hurt and deceived, without knowing how to fit there anymore. She can only request her own space. Peter has difficulty to grant her that, especially after seeing her engaging in a very friendly conversation with Captain Anderson, a lone wolf who chose the sea to forget a failed marriage. Narrated in a form of a diary, "Red Knot" sometimes feels like a documentary, punctuated with occasional dreamlike tones, and driven by metaphors and the sadness of uncertainty. Scott Cohen, who has a background in still photography, managed to untie this first knot with an unanticipated efficiency.

Q: AS3 GestureEvent vs TouchEvent.TOUCH_BEGIN +TouchEvent.TOUCH_END Creating an application that requires BOTH gesture(swipe) support as well as simple touch events. I understand that one limiation of the built-in touch support in actionscript is that you must choose either Gesture OR Touch events as input.
So I was wondering if you can easily simulate gesture events using the TouchEvent.TOUCH_BEGIN +TouchEvent.TOUCH_END events? Are they essentially the same thing as using Gesture events?

A: I believe you'll be able to simulate the gestures appropriately by using the touch events.  Each time a finger goes down a temporary id is assigned to it so you can easily tell if this is the first or second finger down.  In terms of them being the same, it's not exactly the same since the GestureEvents seem to be all dependent on the mobile OS to report as gestures instead of just as touches so any calculation for deltas (or whatever else) would be handled by the OS already instead of you doing it (with the overhead of the VM). http://help.adobe.com/en_US/as3/dev/WS1ca064e08d7aa93023c59dfc1257b16a3d6-7ffd.html

A: Try making gestureevents with touchevents.  There are lots of properties that can easily be converted / combined.

Heinrich Ritter von Levitschnigg (1815–1818: Heinrich Edler von Levitschnigg, ab 1818 Heinrich Levitschnigg Ritter von Glomberg) (* 25. September 1810 in Wien; † 24. Januar 1862 ebenda), war ein österreichischer Dichter, Prosaschriftsteller und Journalist.

Leben
Heinrich von Levitschnigg studierte an der Universität Wien zuerst die Rechte, dann Medizin und ging schließlich in den Militärstand. Als Unterleutnant eines Regiments an der türkischen Grenze erwärmte sich seine Phantasie für den orientalischen Bilderluxus, welchen Freiligrath, Rückert und viele andere schon in die Poesie gebracht hatten, und er verließ, nachdem er erste lyrische Proben in Zeitschriften veröffentlicht hatte, auch den Militärstand, um sich ganz dem Journalismus und der Schriftstellerei zu widmen.

Ab 1837 war er Mitarbeiter bei der Wiener Zeitung und der Zeitschrift Der Humorist von Moritz Gottlieb Saphir. Saphir äußerte sich im Oktober 1839 wie folgt über Levitschnigg: "Dürften wir der Zukunft vorgreifen, so würden wir sagen, daß in Levitschnigg der vaterländischen Literatur eine ausgezeichnete Erscheinung entgegen reift, wenn Umstände, Einwirkungen u.s.w., dieser Reife nicht in den Weg treten". Während der 1840er Jahre veröffentlichte Levitschnigg vor allem Lyrik und Essays zur Literatur und Musik (siehe unten: Literarisches Schaffen)

Ab dem Jahr 1845 lebte Levitschnigg als Redakteur des Feuilletons der Pester Zeitung in Pest und gab zwischen 1854 und 1855 das Pester Sonntagsblatt heraus. Ab März 1859 war er (nach dem Tod Saphirs) zeitweilig Redakteur der Zeitschrift Der Humorist. Im Jahr 1861 gründete Levitschnigg schließlich das eigene (und bis 1889 bestehende) satirische Monatsblatt Der Zeitgeist.

Literarisches Schaffen
Seine ersten Veröffentlichungen (ab 1836), das romantische Gedicht Rustan (1841) und sein erster Sammelband Gedichte (1842), zeigten nach Ansicht der Zeitgenossen ein schönes Talent, das sich aber in einem Labyrinth überschwänglicher und haltloser Metaphern zu verirren drohte, was dann bei den Gedichten seines späteren Bands West – Oestlich (1846) noch mehr kritisiert wurde. Als Feuilletonist der staatsnahen Pester Zeitung erlebte er 1848–49 die ungarische Nationalrevolution mit, der er nach ihrer Unterdrückung scharfe gegnerische Bilder in seinem zweibändigen Kossuth und seine Bannerschaft. Silhouetten aus dem Nachmärz in Ungarn (Pest 1850) vorhielt. Den siegreichen kaiserlichen Truppen widmete er die Gedichte in seiner Soldatenfibel (1852).

Ab der ersten Hälfte der 1850er Jahre schrieb er vorwiegend Romane (u. a. Die Geheimnisse von Pest, 1853). Zur Zeit, als Wagners Tannhäuser auftauchte, brachte er ein durch Ausstattung gehobenes gleichnamiges Schauspiel mit Tageserfolg zur Aufführung (mit der Musik Franz von Suppés). Zuletzt sank er zu Rätselbüchern und dergleichen herab. Im Jahr 1860 erschien Wien, wie es war und ist. Federzeichnungen.

Mit Der Diebsfänger (1860) und anderen Geschichten gehört Levitschnigg zu den frühen deutschsprachigen Kriminalautoren.

Schachschriftsteller
Levitschnigg nahm lebhaften Anteil an der Entwicklung des 1839 gegründeten Pester Schachklubs. Ein Jahr vor seinem doch frühen Tod gab er ein Schachbuch unter dem Titel Der Schachmeister. Handbuch zum Selbstunterricht im Schachspiele (1861) heraus, das später neu aufgelegt wurde. Eine von Johannes Minckwitz umgearbeitete und "mit einer Einführung in die Problemcomposition" versehene dritte Auflage erschien 1886 unter dem veränderten Titel Der Schachmatador. Ein Leitfaden zum Selbstunterricht im Schachspiele.

Werke
Bis auf weiteres nicht erfasst wurden Levitschniggs Kurzrezensionen, Bücheranzeigen usw., die er ab 1838 in verschiedenen österreichischen Zeitschriften veröffentlichte.

"I'm going to Uganda to hike with mountain gorillas," Burke said Wednesday. "We're going to track some mountain gorillas for a couple of days. There's only 700 or so left in the wild and so the day after the minicamp we're flying out and we're going to be in Uganda for about two weeks."
Burke and his girlfriend plan to fly to Amsterdam on Friday, spend a couple of days there, then hop an 11-hour flight to Entebbe. The couple will spend about nine days in the Bwindi Impenetrable National Park.
"There's a base camp or lodge we're staying at that's got seven or so cabins on a ridge on the side of a mountain," Burke said. "You go out there in the day and you get to sort of witness [the gorillas] in their natural habitat."
Male mountain gorilla stand about 59 inches and weigh approximately 430 pounds. Females are about 51 inches tall and weigh about 220 pounds. There were said to be about 880 in the wild in 2016, per various sources. And, as with many wild animals, they can be dangerous.
"You're not supposed to approach gorillas and supposed to not make eye contact," Burke said. "That's a pretty threatening situation. So eyes down and no sudden movements. Adam told me if I die over there, he's going to come and kill me twice. It'll be fun. It'll be good."
Burke will be spending his third consecutive summer vacation in Africa. Two years ago he went to Uganda to do missionary work with former Dolphins offensive line assistant Jeremiah Washburn. That same year he hiked Mount Kilimanjaro. He's also been to South Africa, Botswana and Zambia on safari.
Oh, you tuned in for football?
While Burke is going to be vacationing, receiver Leonte Carroo, who was disappointing a year ago, said Wednesday he'll be spending the summer at camp working on improving his speed.
Carroo, who said he's lost 10 pounds from his 220 pounds as a rookie, said he's taken up Pilates and has followed instruction from Kenny Stills on a regimen to improve his body and ultimately his play.
The Dolphins brought in safety T.J. McDonald on a one-year contract this year knowing he would be suspended the first eight games of the season for violating the NFL's substances of abuse policy.
Miami Dolphins safety T.J. McDonald is no stranger to playing against the New England Patriots. Despite being suspended the first eight games of 2017, he'll still be available for two games against New England. Steven Senne AP
That means McDonald will be able to practice and play when training camp begins but will then be unable to practice until his suspension ends in November.
So training camp and the preseason will be McDonald's best chance to learn the Dolphins defense before he actually has to play two months later. And how will the Dolphins utilize McDonald this preseason?
"We have not come to anything close to those determinations," Burke said. "That will be from Adam and [general manager] Chris [Grier] but we're going to have to get him some work. As much as he's a veteran, he's new to the system and we're asking him to do some different things. And we know he's not going to get any football for however long that's going to be. We haven't had that conversation but that's something we're going to have to decide as an organization what the right price point is for him to get the work he needs to get but also not steal work from guys who are going to start the season with us."
McDonald said if he's asked, he'll ask to play as much as possible.
"I'm a football player. I want to play. I want to play no matter what," McDonald said. "Preseason is definitely a time for me to get used to playing in the system. At the same time there's going to be guys that also need to get time to be ready for Week One so I understand that."
McDonald said he's made changes to his lifestyle to avoid the issues that got him suspended in the first place.
"The people I'm around, the people I'm close with. I just had a son three months ago. That's something that's been a huge change in my lifestyle," he said. "I just want to make sure I continue to do the right thing and make my family proud."
Other notes from Burke today:
▪ Defensive end William Hayes comes to the Dolphins with a reputation for setting the edge with the best of them and also stopping the run. But Burke dismissed the idea of playing Hayes at defensive tackle.
"I don't see him bumping in as a fulltime inside guy for us," Burke said.
▪ Burke said moving linebackers around continues to be "a work in progress." But ...
"We hope as we get closer to the season things start to crystallize a little bit," Burke said, "and we get a better feel for how we want to utilize those guys."
▪ Speaking of linebackers, Burke said rookie Raekwon McMillan "definitely has a presence about him. He doesn't present like a rookie. That's helped him."
Burke spoke as if Bobby McCain, who he said "has had a good spring," is well ahead of the competition for the starting nickel (slot) cornerback job.
"Bobby hasn't done anything to discourage us from what he's shown," Burke said.

President Barack Obama and the Democrats have overcome their doubts and divisions to pass landmark healthcare legislation affecting every family and one-sixth of the economy.
The president will sign the main bill at a White House ceremony scheduled for Tuesday, and a companion package of fixes is expected to be on its way to his desk soon.
That leaves Americans with a burning question: How's this all going to work?
"A key element to these reforms is that options that weren't available to people will become available now," said DeAnn Friedholm of Consumers Union. The publishers of Consumer Reports supported Obama's effort.
Q: When are the uninsured going to get coverage?
A: Most will have to wait until 2014.
That's when the government begins providing tax credits to help people who can't otherwise afford to pay health insurance premiums. The aid will be available on a sliding scale to households making up to four times the federal poverty level, or about $88,000 for a family of four.
A four-person family making around $40,000 will pay only about 5 percent of its income. But the same size family making $80,000 will pay nearly 10 percent of its income. Medicaid will be expanded to cover people up to 133 percent of the poverty level, or about $29,300 for a family of four.
Starting that same year, health insurance companies would have to take all applicants. They could not deny coverage to people in poor health, or charge them higher premiums.
More than 30 million people will gain coverage, and by 2016 about 95 percent of eligible working-age adults and their families would have health insurance. Most would buy their coverage through health insurance exchanges, new state-based purchasing pools. Illegal immigrants wouldn't be able to participate.
Q: So after all the ruckus, nothing happens for another four years?
A: Not at all. There will be plenty of changes before the big push to expand coverage.
For example, the bill starts to close the gap in the Medicare prescription drug benefit right away. Seniors who fall into the dreaded "doughnut hole" gap in coverage will get a $250 rebate this year.
Other changes starting this year include prohibiting health insurance companies from canceling coverage if you get sick, and banning lifetime dollar limits on coverage. Insurers also would be prohibited from denying coverage to children because of a pre-existing medical condition.
In a big change for middle-class families with kids in college, parents will get to keep adult children on their health plan until they turn 26.
Q: That might help kids moving from college to work. What are the requirements?
A: The main requirement for now is that adult children not be eligible for workplace insurance of their own.
To what degree adult children would have to be financially dependent on their parents remains to be clarified in regulations. However, congressional staffers involved in writing the legislation said lawmakers did not intend to require that parents have to support their kids to keep them on their coverage.
Q: Twenty-year-olds are usually pretty healthy. What if you're uninsured right now and you also happen to be sick?
A: There's a transition program in the legislation meant to help the most vulnerable.
Until 2014, when insurers have to take all applicants, the government will pump money into high-risk insurance pools that many states already have set up and others are planning to establish. That would allow the states to offer coverage to people no commercial plan will accept.
There's a catch, however. Although Obama has allocated $5 billion for the program, most experts say that's nowhere near enough to last four years.
Q: Seniors have been wary about the Medicare cuts that will help finance Obama's overhaul. Have the Democrats done anything for them?
A. Closing the prescription coverage gap is a tangible benefit for seniors. After this year, the gap will be reduced gradually through a series of discounts for brand name and generic drugs. By 2020 seniors will pay the standard 25 percent coinsurance for their prescriptions.
Other improvements include a new emphasis on prevention in traditional Medicare, as well as efforts to better coordinate care for patients struggling with several chronic conditions, like the common combination of high blood pressure, diabetes and heart problems.
But the Democrats also are cutting a popular Medicare program, private insurance plans that serve about one-fourth of seniors. Until now, the plans have gotten generous payments from the government, allowing them to offer lower out-of-pocket costs and other benefits. Scaling back the subsidies to Medicare Advantage plans could prompt an exodus of seniors back to the traditional program.
Q: Does the plan require employers to offer coverage to their workers? And what about individuals? Does everybody have to have insurance? Can Congress do that under the Constitution?
Individuals would be required to carry health insurance, either through an employer or a government program or by buying it themselves. Those who refuse would get fined by the IRS.
Many legal experts say Congress does have the power under the Constitution to require coverage. But that issue is likely to be settled in court.
