I'm going to talk about something more technical today that may be outside what many people will find useful. I create a lot of software projects from scratch. As a consultant I get brought in to create a thing that hasn't existed before and make it happen. Generally I go through this process shortly after the requirements have been outlined and before they've been fully defined. I'm good at handling situations with ambiguity which really helps when the client either doesn't know or can't express exactly what she wants.
During this process I try to keep everything as flexible as possible. This means quick iterations on items and not handling every special case during the first round. The first round of code is partially exploratory as we see what works and doesn't once we hold it in our hand. This first round is one of a few rounds, each of which further hardens the code into something stable.
But in the early phases the code must remain malleable. For that reason I won't handle every possible error condition or write tests in the early phases. That effort could be wasted in more than one way. First, we may decide that the feature isn't necessary anyway and throw it out. Second, the more I build around the first phase of code the more invested in it I'll feel and the less likely I am to remove something that isn't working right. It isn't rational, but I'll feel like I've wasted the effort and remember how much I put into it and that will discourage me from taking actions I need to take.
I've never blacksmithed before, but I'm guessing the way I build an app is similar to how a blacksmith makes a sword – keeping it fluid and malleable in the early stages and making it harder and stronger with each subsequent pass.

Q: Maximum size of email X-Headers We are looking at sticking some metadata into the X-Headers of email messages. These emails are for consumption by internal systems, and will be hosted on an Exchange server.
Is there a maximum size for the ammount of data that we can store in an X-Header?
Are there any limitations, such as special characters, that I should know about?

A: US ASCII characters only.
This is defined by RFC 822.
There is no limit on the length of a header body in the standard, though there is a line length limit, which imposes a limit on the length of the header name.

There are two limits that this specification places on the number of
characters in a line.  Each line of characters MUST be no more than
998 characters, and SHOULD be no more than 78 characters, excluding
the CRLF.

You can, however, extend the header body beyond a single line with "folding". The receiver then "unfolds" the lines.

An unfolded header field has no length restriction and therefore may
be indeterminately long.

The header name cannot be folded, so the header name cannot be longer than the line limit.
Note that even though the standards have no limitation on the total length of the header body, actual implementations may have imposed artificial limitations.

A: The answer provided by Marcus Adams is correct in the numbers, but I wanted to provide a bit more curated history and (hopefully) clarity.
TL;DR
I believe the 1000 character limit originally comes from RFC #821, not RFC #822. And it only enters the specification of Internet Message Formats in RFC #2822.
Network Message Formats vs Simple Mail Transfer Protocol
Just to make sure we are on the same page with terminology and stacks, I wanted to call out the differences here.
Network Message Formats
RFC #822 has a long history, starting at RFC #733 (1977) -> RFC #822 (1982) -> RFC #2822 (2001) -> RFC #5322 (2008) -> RFC #6854 (2013). With updates and extensions all over, like RFC #4021, RFC #5335 and RFC #5336.
All of these refer to the "message format" for "network messages" (aka email), with titles referring to "ARPA NETWORK TEXT MESSAGES", "ARPA INTERNET TEXT MESSAGES", "Internet Message Format", "Mail and MIME Header Fields", and more.
Simple Mail Transfer Protocol
However, there is also Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) itself, which describes how to move (relay, transfer, etc...) email around the internet. It is defined in RFC #821 (1982). I bring up SMTP because this where we first see the size limits:
SMTP Size Limits

4.5.3.  SIZES There are several objects that have required minimum maximum sizes.
* Note, the following are summaries, not a direct quote
user - 64 characters
domain - 64 characters
path - 256 characters
command line - 512 characters (including <CRLF>)
reply line - 512 characters (including <CRLF>)
text line - 1000 characters (including <CRLF>)
recipients buffer - 100 recipients

With an interesting note for the curious:

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT POSSIBLE, IMPLEMENTATION TECHNIQUES WHICH IMPOSE NO LIMITS ON THE LENGTH  OF THESE OBJECTS SHOULD BE USED.

However, no limits in "Message Format" RFCs
First, RFC #822 does not specify any restraints on the length of the line, that I can see.
It does offer some guidelines for readability, but goes so far as to say,

3.4.8. FOLDING LONG HEADER FIELDS however, the limit is not imposed by this standard.

So I also looked at RFC #733 (which RFC #822 obsoletes) and this too recommends, but does not impose:

[Section III B.g]
The former length is recommended as a limit, but it is not imposed by this standard

However, although the referenced answer/comments point to RFC #5322 as imposing limits, it was actually RFC #2822 that introduced it finally. Again (the answer isn't wrong, just providing a path to it here).
So what does SMTP have to do with message format size limits?
According to RFC #822, in

1.2. COMMUNICATION FRAMEWORK
Messages consist of lines of text

And further, in

3.4.8. FOLDING LONG HEADER FIELDS
Each header field may be represented on exactly one line  consisting
of the name of the field and its body, and terminated by a CRLF; this
is what the parser sees.

We can start connecting line length limitations headers to SMTP.
Ignoring folding, which does not change what a line means (just how to display it), RFC #822 explains that messages are just lines of text, and a header must be on exactly one line. But we need to go to RFC #821 to see the maximum line length is 1000 characters.
I hope first that I am correct on this, and only then, it provides some clarity.

After the sunrise, we hit the road early from the Grand Canyon. Our goal was to make it to the Lower Antelope Canyon by the afternoon followed by Monument Valley in the evening. The drive time was about 2 hours 3 minutes from the Grand Canyon to Antelope Canyon. Then an additional 2 hours to get to Monument Valley.
The Lower Antelope Canyon is outside of Page Arizona but to get there you have to drive through the spectacular Marble Canyon. We wish we had more time to explore but we had to reserve tickets to Antelope Canyon at noon and didn't want to miss the ticket time.
Prior to arriving into Page we past Horseshoe Bend while coming into town. We decided to go get our tickets and come back to Horseshoe Bend. Even though our time was at noon. That is just the time to get into another line. We had to wait another 2 hours to get to the start of the Canyon. Yikes! Did I mention we were in over 100 degree heat.
This is a very popular attraction and you only have two tour that you can select from Dixie Ellis or Ken's Tours. We happened to go with Ken's Tours. This land is on the reservation and owned by the same family. Dixie Ellis and Ken are brother and sister using the same canyon and standing in the same lines. Every group of about 10 people are paired with a guide and it is there job to keep you going through the canyon together. It is like herding cats. Truly! Our guide loved to talk and told us all about the canyon during our two hour wait. Telling us how they have escape ladders due to flash floods and how people have died due to the flash floods. Also about limited about of work on the reservation and the "good jobs" and the ugly power plant painfully distorting the landscape. While the tourist might see the power plant as a eye sore they see it as income and jobs. Allow them to live on the reservation.
After our two hour wait we made it to the front of the line and climbed down the ladder into Antelope Canyon. Really it is worth the wait. It was amazing I should just let you look at the pictures because the tell the story.
After about an hour walking through the cool Canyon we headed back up to into heat. If you ever have the opportunity to go do it. You won't regret it. Next we backtrack a little to see Horseshoe Bend. I thought it was going to right over the hill but it is a further walk that we anticipated. The heat was unbearable now the afternoon heat but the view was again incredible and worth the hike in the full sun.
Next we drove another two hours to arrive in Monument Valley. There are limited places to stay in Monument Valley you only have two options: The View or Goulding's Lodge. The View is more expensive and located on the reservation but with an amazing view. Goulding's Lodge is off the reservation but has more spacious rooms with kitchens. We decided to stay at Goulding's lodge. One thing to remember is that you have to pay to get on the reservation. This is not included in your National Park Pass. The fee is $20.
We arrived checked into our hotel and headed to the Valley. We checked out the spectacular view and then drove down into the Valley they recommend not driving your rental car BUT we did. They also offer open trucks to drive into the valley but this look miserable due to the dusty wind and the heat. While the drive was a little nerve racking for me. Mr Travelista was having a ball. His motto was nothing parties like a rental. Yikes!! You can drive up to all the sights park and take pictures. We even saw wild horses. It was spectacular. We headed back to the lodge to watch the sunset over Monument Valley and heading back to our hotel.
We finished the day by exploring the small grocery store near Goulding's lodge. Then made our dinner and ate on the porch. Then next day we headed to Moab Utah to explore Arches National Park and Canyonland. Stay tuned.


The announcement is in no way a criticism of what both bodies (GISC and IIB) have achieved. I hope they will both be able to work closely with the FSA to ensure a seamless transition. The timing and details for the implementation of regulation will be discussed with industry.
with a less regulated environment than before.
mix of statutory and non-statutory regulation imposes extra costs and burdens on them.
I wonder if we are going to get our money back? The insurance industry has spent a fortune on joining fees and changing their stationery and websites to include the GISC name... It will be good to be regulated by an independent body, but whether the FSA is the right body to do it, I don't know.
The wrangling [between broker groups] has meant the risk of the government losing patience. This is yet another example of the industry not getting its act together and we get what we deserve.

Tipperary champions Borris-Ileigh are cock-a-hoop following thrilling Munster final victory
NEXT CHALLENGE IS ALL IRELAND SEMI-FINAL
True grit saw Borris-Ileigh claim provincial title
The Borris-Ileigh cock can preen himself for another flutter in the New Year, following a remarkable Munster final triumph at Pairc Uí Rinn on Sunday last. The outsiders defied the odds and the elements to pull off a famous win, and in the process deny Ballygunner back-to-back titles.
And so the Borris bandwagon just keeps on rolling. They're enjoying themselves too much to allow this adventure to end. As the old cliché goes, success breeds success, and Borris are happy to ride the wave that now carries them to an All Ireland semi-final with St. Thomas' of Galway early in the New Year.
Christmas will have to be either celebrated early or put on hold in a parish that certainly knows how to celebrate. Their passion for the game has won admirers and Tipperary's stock has risen even further on the back of their success. All of which is very fitting in a year of hurling pre-eminence for the county.
I doubted they could scale this hurdle, but they never doubted themselves. Led by another colossal display from Brendan Maher they stayed on cue and deservedly edged a thrilling second half by the minimum.
It was winter hurling, so it wasn't pretty, but by God it was heartwarming. You can talk all you like about tactics and soft-touch skills and the like but there are times when it simply takes bravehearts to cross the line and Borris had them in spades. Old fashioned qualities like honesty of effort, hard grafting and scrapping laid the foundations for this win by the Tipp champs.
Ballygunner stuck to their recipe of short passing but it seemed ill-suited to the conditions. By contrast Borris-Ileigh played more direct and were ready for the running game of the Waterford champions. The middle third became a traffic jam, where Borris-Ileigh's workrate helped stymie the Gunners.
Early on Dessie Hutchinson threatened to be the star attraction, hitting three first-half points, but as the game wore on he was getting fewer openings, though still remaining the main threat to Borris-Ileigh. He's a player I'm sure Liam Cahill will be calling on.
Borris trailed by three at half -time having faced the wind and rain. Dan McCormack played particularly deep in that period, covering behind his half-back line so there was no route to goal for the Waterford runners. Hutchinson's points and Pauric Mahony's frees were their main source of scores but there was never a goal threat.
At the other end Jerry Kelly's sideline cut was a real beauty on top of his opening point, which kept Borris in touch. 9-6 at half time was reflective of the tight, dour nature of the contest played out in miserably wet conditions, with the Gunners having marginal advantage.
The drama certainly intensified in the second half. The Borris goal seemed to be a pivotal moment, where Ray McCormack's penetrating run opened up the Ballygunner defence for Kieran Maher to take the pass and coolly finish past Stephen O'Keeffe. Shortly afterwards Brendan Maher executed an audacious intervention when the ball squirted up in a messy ruck; his touch-to-hand control was masterful and then in one sweeping movement the ball was posted between the sticks for the point of the match.
But Ballygunner weren't ready to go quietly. Some of the marking had been lax all day and when Hutchinson found Barry O'Sullivan in splendid isolation the Waterford men had their goal and the game was back in the melting pot once more.
It all came down to a nerve-tingling finish. By now Brendan Maher had taken full ownership of the free-taking and his final one on 29 minutes would prove the winner. The sight of Dan McCormack, minus his hurley, fearlessly dribbling the ball down the sideline in those last moments epitomised the spirit of this Borris-Ileigh side. Jerry Kelly had done similar earlier.
In the end fortune favoured the brave, Borris dug out a precious win and the journey extends now into 2020.
Brendan Maher got the individual gong for match-defining excellence. In a career of many peaks this performance will rate among the very best. Dan McCormack too put in a heavy shift, as did Jerry Kelly. These were the stand-out individuals but victory in these conditions requires a massive collective effort from all involved, so Borris had a team of stars.
It's a hard one for Ballygunner. They were hotly fancied but their key men – Dessie Hutchinson apart – didn't deliver. They'll celebrate in Borris-Ileigh before refocusing for the first week in January.
Some refocusing is needed in Limerick hurling circles too after their planned medal presentation last week was cancelled. They should have been celebrating their league and Munster championship wins but instead are facing the fall-out from recent incidents involving panellists which went viral and drew unwelcome attention to the panel.
Their trip to New York for the hurling classic in Citi Field saw two players being sent home early after a video clip was posted on social media of a street fight, apparently recorded by one player and featuring another doing the boxing.
This was just the latest in a number of events that have damaged the brand. There was also an incident allegedly involving another player outside a Limerick nightclub and then there was the case of a Tipperary jersey being burned in a border village.
All of this comes on top of Peter Casey taking the unusual step of going public some time ago with the results of a privately-sourced drug test in order to clear his name after yet another video clip appeared on social media.
It's a hatful of bother for John Kiely and his management team, who should be focusing on winter training programmes and plans for the resumption of hurling activity. Instead discipline seems to have taken centre stage. It's particularly disappointing for Limerick, who were rightly lauded for their exemplary conduct in the wake of the All-Ireland win in 2018. That squeaky-clean image is looking less pristine now.
A few points cross my mind in all this. Firstly the ubiquitous nature of social media means that privacy is a rare commodity nowadays. If something untoward happens in a public arena then it will almost certainly be videoed and put up online. Old fashioned denials don't work anymore when there's camera evidence there to embarrass you.
It's a message that seems to be slow in getting through to a lot of these lads who, like it or not, are no longer anonymous citizens but public personalities whose behaviour will be scrutinised.
Secondly I'd suggest it's a bit silly for other counties to take the high moral ground on this and indulge in a type of perverse pleasure at the neighbour's discomfort. We've certainly had our own incidents in Tipperary, some that became public knowledge and others that were kept under wraps. Let he who is without sin etc.
I've no doubt John Kiely will take a strong line on this, so the cancellation of the medal presentation and the sending home of two players from New York was no surprise. Some players may be sweating over their inter-county futures at this moment.
Anyway back to local business and my involvement with local radio station, Tipp Midwest, and the selection of a Tipperary club hurling team of the year. These are the sort of schemes that stir debate and amuse us as the long winter nights move in. In this case we had to select fifteen based solely on their performances in the Tipperary senior hurling championship, both Dan Breen and Seamus O'Riain.
Anyway here goes with the selection, which I'm sure will stir much disagreement. Clonoulty's Declan O'Dwyer got the nod for goalkeeping. The full back line features James Quigley (Kiladangan), Paddy Stapleton (Borrisoleigh) and Craig Morgan (Kilruane). Half back was more problematic but we settled on the following: Joey McLoughney (Toomevara), Brendan Maher (Borrisoleigh) and Paddy Cadell (J.K. Brackens). Midfield was self-selecting: Noel McGrath (Loughmore) and Dan McCormack (Borrisoleigh). The trio who got the nod at half forward were Timmy Hammersley (Clonoulty), Willie Connors (Kiladangan) and Conor Kenny (Borrisoleigh). The full line reads Darragh Woods (Holycross), Paul Flynn (Kiladangan) and 'JD' Devaney (Borrisoleigh).
Finally, a hugely enjoyable event at St. Patrick's College last Sunday night where Noel Dundon launched his latest book offering Bringing Back Liam. It's a well-produced account of the past year with its play on the two Liams, McCarthy and Sheedy. I marvel at how speedily Noel could put together the text and have the whole enterprise ready for the Christmas market.
It's the latest in a series of books that Noel has penned, from Captains of the Premier Ship to Premier Legends. His output is prolific and this latest offering provides a great record of a truly great year for Tipperary hurling. The magnificent collection of photographs on their own makes it invaluable before you even read the text. It's a marvellous reminder of the year just past and I have no problem recommending it. At just €15 it's also great value.
The event itself was very entertaining. MC for the night, Donal Ryan, combined his usual deep knowledge and insights with wit and humour, there was a video depicting the year's events and a discussion with a panel comprising Tommy Dunne, Len Gaynor, Eamonn Corcoran and Conor Stakelum.
Great stories abounded but I loved the one Noel told about his eight year-old son, Peter. Noel was answering questions from his young daughter about Brexit and Northern Ireland and trying to simplify the complexities therein. He was explaining about the time of the Treaty and how Britain gave back 26 counties but kept 6, when Peter interjected: Jeez I'd have given them Kilkenny as well. Out of the mouths of babes …

Da Nang airport guide
June 20, 2013 Transpotation
Da Nang is one of the biggest cities of Vietnam in which one of the main gateways is the Da Nang airport. The international airport is the smallest international airport in the country. The bigger ones are the Tan Son Nhat and Noi Bai international airport. Nonetheless, DAD gives easy access to the central Vietnam. Its records show about 3 million passengers last year, which is expected to continuously increase with the airport's expansion.
The Da Nang Airport operates international and domestic flights. There are flights to and from South Korea, Singapore and Malaysia. For domestic flights, there are planes heading to Nha Trang, Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City.
For airport transfer, there are taxis operated by different companies just outside the arrival area. The passengers are advised to ensure that the taxi has a fixed rate or a meter. Travel distance from the airport to the city center is approximately 5 kilometers and 8 kilometers to the beach resorts.
There are duty free shops at the Da Nang airport but note that they are only for departing passengers. Duty free shopping on arrival is currently prohibited in Vietnam but countries like Japan and Canada have plans on working on it after Grenada and Jamaica started the introduction of duty free shopping on arrival. Online pre-order for duty free shopping is also a work in progress. Nevertheless, the passengers can still buy some items upon arrival but they are not duty free. There are also convenience stores like 7-Eleven and Tescos.
The procedure after arrival at the airport is easy. The passengers just have to go through the quarantine concourse. When cleared, they can proceed to the baggage claim area and pick up the Visa from the VOA desk. The departure procedure is more complex and stricter. You have to go through the initial security, passport control, and another security checkpoint at the boarding gate.

Captain William V. Pratt, Assistant Chief of Naval Operations, to Vice Admiral William S. Sims, Commander, United States Naval Forces Operating in European Waters, 12/2/1917
Captain William V. Pratt, Assistant Chief of Naval Operations, to Vice Admiral William S. Sims, Commander, United States Naval Forces Operating in European Waters
NAVY DEPARTMENT
OFFICE OF NAVAL OPERATIONS
December 2nd, 1917.
Dear Sims:-
It is not often that I get a chance to write you for I really have been, strange to say very busy. I want to thank you for your letters which you have so regularly sent. They have been of great value in keeping me somewhat in touch with the situation. It has not stopped there for I have shown these letters wherever I thought they would do any good. We have all wondered how, with the stress of work upon you, [you] have found the time to write at all. While my letters to you have been few, I have tried in the cables to meet your needs, and to keep you posted about the way things are going over here.
I feel that it was a very wise move on the part of the Admiral to go abroad.1 It was his intention, as you know, to make the fullest use of your staff rather than to bring one of his own. I feel and can see it expressed in the cables coming from the other side that the Admiral has been seriously impressed with the present situation and that his view point has materially broadened. That, of course, is the inevitable result of being intimately connected with affairs at the front.
Your plan of troop convoy and escort has been adopted as you know by this time and will be put into effect.2 A new plan of convoy whereby added protection will be afforded the transports, by the use of battleships has been submitted for Admiral Benson's approval.3 We are endeavoring, in this office, to get in closer touch with, the Shipping Board, and to place the entire trans-atlantic trade under Naval control. This as you will appreciate is a very delicate matter to be settled with the Shipping Board and the Labor Unions concerned. We held a conference the other day with the Shipping Board, the Army, and the Navy representative. I think the outcome will be very successful and that the Navy will have absolute control in time of all ships crossing the Atlantic. This is an important step towards to efficiency.
Knox and Schofield are going to you.4 They are both good men. I shall miss them very much here and Schofield can hardly be replaced. He was in touch with the work and the one man I could count on to spell me a little, but his special talent will be more useful where he is going. Therefore, [I] felt it was wise that he should go to you, however, it has left me until a relief is broken in and there is nobody to take his place now, doing the Admiral's work, his work, and my own work. I am not kicking because I have begun to realize that my job in this particular game is that of the dray horse and so long as I keep my health and strength, I am only to[o] glad to be of that slight service. Pinney5 was also suggested and though I thought from the cable the Admiral had failed to include him, Navigation apparently thinks differently.
Dunn6 ought to leave for the Azores sometime before the middle of December, he is taking quite an establishment, including a net, with him but is having some difficulty in getting started due to lack of transportation.
I send all of your papers bearing on the subject to the Shipping Board for their information [so] that they may realize how acute the Shipping Board situation is. I also keep the Army informed of your views that they may have the correct perspective with regard to the transportation difficulties.
Cheerfully yours,
W. V. Pratt

Footnote 1: Adm. William S. Benson, Chief of Naval Operations, was in Europe as a member of the fact-finding House Mission (led by Edward M. House), serving as the chief representative of the Navy. One of the chief objectives of the House Mission was to clear up any misunderstandings or miscommunications about the role of the United States Navy in the naval plans and objectives of the British Admiralty in the wake of the October visit of Adm. Henry T. Mayo, Commander-in-Chief, Atlantic Fleet, as well as to pursue closer coordination in the planning and undertaking of Allied naval activities. Arriving in London at the beginning of November, the House Mission spent nearly a month in the War Zone before returning to the United States.

Silicone Impregnated Refractory Ceramic Ablator, or SIRCA, is a lightweight ceramic ablative material, often used in thermal protection systems to protect parts of launch vehicles and spacecraft from very high temperature heat sources.

SIRCA was used for ceramic substrates on both the Viking spacecraft and the Space Shuttle, and was also used on the aeroshells for Mars Pathfinder and the Mars Exploration Rovers.  It was developed at NASA Ames Research Center in the 1980s and 1990s.

Description

SIRCA typically has a density between  and can handle a heat flux of up to

Washington: Barack Obama's presidency has not united whites and blacks in America, a new poll suggests, noting that Americans' negative views on the state of race relations in the country persist.
Just 15 per cent of Americans think Obama's presidency has brought whites and blacks closer together, according to a new CBS News/New York Times poll released on Thursday.
Instead, 47 per cent think his presidency has made no difference, while 34 per cent think his presidency has pushed blacks and whites further apart.
Blacks (30 per cent) are more likely than whites (11 per cent) to think the Obama presidency has brought blacks and whites closer together, though about half of both groups think his presidency hasn't made much difference.
Americans give a mixed review to Obama for his handling of race relations in the US, and white and black Americans assess his presidency differently on this measure, according to the poll.
Overall, 46 per cent of Americans approve of how Obama is handling race relations, while 44 per cent disapprove.
Among whites, more disapprove (50 per cent) than approve (40 per cent), while blacks overwhelmingly approve (72 per cent).
More specifically, although 62 per cent of white Americans think the Obama administration's policies treat both blacks and whites equally, more than a quarter of whites (27 per cent) think his policies favor blacks over whites, up from just 12 per cent in 2010.
This rises to 49 per cent among whites who disapprove of the president's handling of race relations.
In contrast, 85 per cent of blacks think the policies of the Obama administration favor both blacks and whites equally.
Still, 45 per cent of Americans think Obama has been judged more harshly because he is black; blacks (80 per cent) are far more likely to think so than whites (37 per cent).
And while many Americans remain critical of Obama's handling of race relations, more Americans think the Democratic Party (44 per cent) is more likely to improve race relations than the Republican Party (23 per cent).
Positive opinions of race relations rose above 50 per cent in the 2000s, and reached a high of 66 per cent in April 2009, shortly after Barack Obama took office, CBS said.
But those positive assessments have not lasted: in mid-2014, after the conflicts between blacks and the police in Ferguson, Missouri, the percentage that said race relations are good dropped, it noted.

Medical imagining keeps making progress. It has improved dramatically in the last decades, thanks to new ways to look inside the body and the use of computers to make sense of the data captured.
We are now able to look at cell level using markers that fluoresce when the cell creates a specific metabolite. The problem is placing a camera close enough to the cells so that the light emitted does not get absorbed, what we need is to make the tissue covering the area we are interested in ... transparent.
This is what a team of researchers at MIT has managed to do! They have created quantum dots, the small particles that are used in top of the line video display as market. Quantum dots are also very bright, so the light emitted can be easily captured. The "color" of the light emitted by a quantum dot depends on its size and by shaping the quantum dot in a specific way the researchers have been able to create emission in the short wave infrared (SWIR: 1,000-2,000nm). At this wavelength the light is not captured by blood nor by tissues, which is equivalent to say that the tissues are transparent.
By placing a short wavelength infrared detector over the skin it is possible to "see" through the tissue the glowing quantum dots, hence to see the cells as they go about doing their job.
They demonstrated the effectiveness of their method by videotaping the flow of blood inside the organs of a mice as it moved around. The visibility is so good that it is possible to see single blood cell moving around and capture the direction of motion.
The crucial innovation is in the creation of the specific shapes and sizes of Quantum dot and in finding a way to bind them to the cells. In the experiments they used phospholipid micelles, lipoproteins and composite particles in various shape, depending on the target cells.
In the next decade it is likely that this technology will become a standard procedure, letting the doctor to look at our organs as they work, as if they were a television screen.

Gregor and Emma are examining book spines of classic Filipina collections hoping they will stumble across something interesting although they already knew that this is highly unlikely. If only great authors from the past could just magically write something new to send across to the present time, or maybe publishing houses would brilliantly come up with ideas like releasing special commemorative book editions or better yet, finding lost unpublished manuscripts from some hidden vault or a locked study. Emma is on her knees, as if praying in front of a shrine – her collar bones perspire – while Gregor is skimming the pages of a Nick Joaquin shorts. The old bookstore is so cramped, that religion and adult romance sections were placed next to each other.
Either it is a force of habit to induce intelligent conversations or just part of this unnecessary need for a routine that they occasionally come over to the same bookstore to have a proper venue to kick off their colorful speculations and exchanges that they agreed to term "The Crayola Sessions". Today is about the eventful ending of life as we all know it. The end of the world.
Gregor is wearing a samurai blue coat, with a white shirt beneath it. The necktie knot is loose, and he wears sports sneakers for comfort, while Emma is wearing a gray cardigan over a sleeveless casual shirt and a pair of denim shorts.
A whiff of old papers and the cold rain from the open windows marinate in the air, there is nothing like it. Emma hailed the passing attendant of the store and ordered coffee and a pack of Marlboro reds, handing over the payment and a few change as tip. There are just about three round tables in the bookstore to occupy guests. They sat by the Capiz sliding windows.
"Say, do you think some divine being will truly show itself when the time comes? I really hope they're cats. I think they must be, right? They are the sanest, most beautiful answer to save us from this godforsaken place. Ancient Egyptians believed it. I think it's real. You should see that episode about it." Emma continued.
Emma scowling with a heft of sarcasm, crossing her legs together and leaning back against the My Home magazine back issues.
Emma gave out a genuine laugh.
"Thank you for the hospitality sir, but we have to be somewhere as well," Gregor replied.
Gregor patiently studied the ceiling fan and making sipping noises from the cup that eventually graduated to slurping.
"But okay, to merit your infallible persistence, I will go. But only until midnight and you need to promise me that. Emma asserted.
The attendant stepped back and nodded to the patrons before turning away.
Emma's eyes rolled back, confused whether she would be impressed or annoyed.
When they arrived, the hall was already teaming up with people and loud danceable music. Looking around, people of different age brackets are there. They are drinking and dancing, but they don't look like they are enjoying at all. They are like hermits in uncomfortable shells. It felt odd to Emma.

"It's a masquerade party!" Gregor shouted.
"A Masquerade parties!" Gregor repeated, and Emma finally caught up.
Emma keeping up with the noise.

"People came here wearing clothes of other people. Preferably people who are linked to them. And they pretend as if they are them as well". Gregor explains.
Emma stepped back and surveyed the friend from head to toe.
Old papers, cold rain, masks and crazy conversation. Well set up, C.
