Clues to the moon and Mars hide in this mineral

A new remote sensing method for studying the mineral olivine could help scientists understand the early evolution of the moon, Mars, and other planetary bodies.
"Olivine is understood to be a major component in the interiors of rocky planets," says Christopher Kremer, a PhD candidate at Brown University and lead author of a new paper on the work. "It's a primary constituent of Earth's mantle, and it's been detected on the surfaces of the moon and Mars in volcanic deposits or in impact craters that bring up material from the subsurface."
Current remote sensing techniques are good at spotting olivine from orbit, Kremer says, but scientists would like to do more than just spot it. They'd like to be able to learn more about its chemical makeup. All olivines have silicon and oxygen, but some are rich in iron while others have lots of magnesium.
"The composition tells us something about the environment in which the minerals formed, particularly the temperature," Kremer says. "Higher temperatures during formation yield more magnesium, while lower temperatures yield more iron. Being able to tease out those compositions could tell us something about how the interiors of these planetary bodies have evolved since their formation."
Just the right wavelengths
To find out if there might be a way to see that composition using remote sensing, Kremer worked with Brown professors Carlé Pieters and Jack Mustard, as well as mountains of data from the Keck/NASA Reflectance Experiment Laboratory (RELAB) at Brown.
One method that researchers use to study rocks on other planetary bodies is spectroscopy. Particular elements or compounds reflect or absorb different wavelengths of light to various degrees. By looking at the light spectra rocks reflect, scientists can get an idea of what compounds are present. RELAB makes high-precision spectral measurements of samples for which the composition is already determined using other laboratory techniques. By doing that, the lab provides a ground truth for interpreting spectral measurements taken by spacecraft looking at other planetary bodies.
In poring through data from olivine samples examined over the years at RELAB, Kremer found something interesting hiding in a small swath of wavelengths that's overlooked by the kinds of spectroscopes that fly on orbital spacecraft.
"Over the past few decades, there's been a lot of interest in near infrared spectroscopy and middle infrared spectroscopy," Kremer says. "But there's a small range of wavelengths between those two that's left out, and those are the wavelengths I was looking at."
Kremer found that those wavelengths, a band between 4 and 8 microns, could predict the amount of magnesium or iron in an olivine sample to within about 10% of the actual content. That's far better than can be done when those wavelengths are ignored.
"With the instruments we have now, we could say maybe we have a little bit of this or a little bit of that," Mustard says. "But with this we're able to really put a number on it, which is a big step forward."
Olivine on the moon
The researchers hope that this study, which appears in Geophysical Research Letters, might provide the impetus to build and fly a spectrometer that captures these previously overlooked wavelengths. Such an instrument could pay immediate dividends in understanding the nature of olivine deposits on the moon's surface, Kremer says.
"The olivine samples brought back during the Apollo program that we've been able to study here on Earth vary widely in magnesium composition," Kremer says. "But we don't know how those differing compositions are distributed on the moon itself, because we can't see those compositions spectroscopically. That's where this new technique comes in. If we could figure out a pattern to how those deposits are distributed, it could tell us something about the early evolution of the moon."
There's the potential for other discoveries as well. The airplane-based SOFIA telescope is one of the few non-lab instruments that can look in this forgotten frequency range. The instrument's recent detection of water molecules in sunlit lunar surfaces made use of those frequencies.
"That makes the idea of space-borne spectrometers that can see this range much more attractive, both for water and for rocky material like olivine," Kremer says.
Support for the work came from NASA.

Q: Password validation in JSF 2 i am just wondering what is the best way to validate password confirmation in JSF 2

A: The best way to validate anything you need in JSF is use MyFaces Extval. It support cross field validation, which is a typical use case for validate passwords. See this blog for more information about it.

A: You can use RichFaces 4 client-side! validation based on Bean Validation (JSR303).
Bean:
@Size(min = 5, max = 15)
private String password1;

@Size(min = 5, max = 15)
private String password2;

@AssertTrue(message = "Passwords don't match")
public boolean checkPassword() {
    return password1.equals(password1);
}

Page:
<rich:graphValidator value="#{bean}" id="crossField">
    <h:inputText value="#{bean.password1}"/>
    <h:inputText value="#{bean.password2}"/>
    <rich:message for="crossField"/>
</rich:graphValidator>

Does it take you longer than 30 minutes to fall asleep? I don't mean to scare you but I recently read that if it does, you better be on the lookout for diabetes and heart disease. Recent research found that women who have trouble dozing off have higher levels of insulin, inflammatory proteins (linked to heart disease), and fibrinogen (which plays a role in stroke). Early detection of risks can help ward off illness. It's also best to find ways to unwind before hitting the sack. Try to listen to music to relax, it can protect your health and help you feel well the next day.
Thanks for visiting my sites.this article is very useful for sleeping. It gives relaxation & freshness of mind.
Although I do not disagree with your observations and we should all be switched on to good health. There are still many people who cannot get to sleep, simply because the do not do enough to tire their bodies and brains out sufficiently. Some simply go to bed too early. The older we become the more we need to shrink the amount of sleep that our body requires. We either need to keep our bedtime the same but get up slightly earlier or go to bed much later and get up at the same time. We cannot fight nature and it seems that nature requires us to sleep a little less the older we get!
I once had a very elderly lady advise me that not only do we require less sleep as we pile on the years but also much less carbohydrates. Which is the harder to cut back on ... sleep or carbohydrates - I wonder?


Yes, I love a good snow storm, I just hate to commute in it. I have more scarves and hats than any one woman should own, but I abhor donning them day after day. A couple of years ago Damir and I went to Mexico for my January birthday, and I find myself really longing right now for warm shores.
But more than getting sick of the cold, it's a struggle for me to get through the winter. Long prone to depression, the winter months and lack of light really do me in. It helps now that I can recognize and attempt to combat these dark days, but it is not easy. At the end of each autumn, I see myself falling down the tunnel towards darkness but feel incapable to reverse the course. The feeling is like being in a bad dream and you know you are dreaming but can't seem to wake yourself up to get out of it.
For me, depression isn't about being sad, it's more about withdrawing into myself, obsessing over the negative elements of my life, eating (hello carbs!), combating anxiety attacks and being very short tempered. I also tend to get sick a lot in the winter, which may or may not be related.
I think winters will always be hard for me, but some better than others. This one so far has been pretty okay, which I credit to the massive increase in Vitamin D I am taking. Last winter my doctor tried to strong-arm me into going on anti-depressants, but the recollection of so many bad side effects is still too fresh for me to acquiesce. Thankfully this winter seems to be a little better. And thankfully I have a husband who is very adept at handling my ups and downs.
The last few weeks, I have been surprisingly social, thanks to the visits of a few out of town friends. Connecting with those close to me certainly helps A LOT. I will be heading up to Boston for a long weekend in a few weeks which will also be great. Those bambini are the perfect role models for experiencing pure unadulterated joy over the simple pleasures of life. What if we never stopped feeling exhilarated by a game of peek-a-boo?


The idea of dividing London and Greater London into districts was put forward by Rowland Hill in 1838. It was devised to accelerate the delivery of mail splitting the city into ten separate districts, each denoted by the compass points: EC (Eastern Central District), WC (Western Central District), and NW, N, NE, E, SE, S, SW and W. These were contained within a twelve mile radius of central London. The public were instructed to add these initials to the end of an address. This plan was implemented in 1857-58. This formed the origins of the London and Greater London districts we know today.
The idea wasn't received well by everyone. It was the first time that the Postcodes and district had been used to denote social status. A Hackney-based doctor complained about being moved from NE to an E Postcode. He was worried that many of his patients wouldn't want to travel to him if he was located in Hackney, a district that was seen as 'working class'.
The numbers were added to London postal districts during World War I when women began delivering mail while the men were away fighting.

Reception have had a busy two weeks back at school after the Christmas holidays. In PSHE with Mrs Vardy the children wished each other a Happy New Year and then talked about what makes us feel happy. Our footprints were then made into happy penguins for our display. We have also loved dancing to the 'Happy' song from 'Happy Feet'
Our new topic for this half term is 'Amazing Animals' where we will be exploring Artic animals and dinosaurs. In our outside yard we found a box with some snow around it addressed to Ellington Primary School Reception. Inside the box was a penguin. We were all very confused at how the penguin got to our school. When we went back into the classroom there was a story called Lost and Found by Oliver Jeffers. Miss Robinson started to read the first couple of pages to see if we could solve the mystery. The story started by telling us that there once was a boy and one day a penguin arrives on his doorstep. The boy decides the penguin must be lost and tries to return him.
Is this why the penguin has arrived at our school? We had a class discussion about penguins and what we already know about them. In Literacy we followed step by step instructions to create our own penguin and then wrote a description. Miss Robinson was super impressed with the children for their amazing writing. We also did some observational paintings of penguins.
In maths we have been looking at ways to represent zero by comparing it to other numbers. We have also been looking at composition of numbers to 5.

Tech CEO Loses on 'Shark Tank', Is Visited by On-Set Therapist
Lori Cheek's dating service was rejected by the sharks — but she's still determined to make it successful.
By Jordyn Taylor • 03/03/14 5:26pm
Ms. Cheek and a Cheek'd card (Screengrab: YouTube)
Ever wonder what it would be like to quit your high paying job to start a company, then watch it get rejected by five rich strangers on Shark Tank?
Us, too. So we caught up with Lori Cheek, the entrepreneur whose dating service, Cheek'd, met exactly that fate on the network TV show last Friday.
Ms. Cheek used to be a highly paid architect. Then she quit her job to start Cheek'd. The company was on the brink of failure last year, so presenting it on a game show seemed like the only option left.
"I'm an architect no longer building structures," she insisted before her pitch. "I'm now building relationships."
Love-starved singles can use Cheek'd in one of two ways: the way that costs money, or the free way. Either pay $20 to $25 for a stack of flirty Cheek'd cards you hand out to strangers, plus $9.95 a month for a membership, or download the app for free and pass out virtual ice-breaking cards to nearby strangers.
Ms. Cheek says she found a fiancé using her own product, but Cheek'd was still rejected by all five sharks.
How did you feel after watching the Shark Tank episode?
I knew what was going to happen because I was there, but I didn't remember it was that bad. My presentation was awful — that's not even me. I think I was so psyched out. I've never been more scared in my life. I knew what I was walking into with my numbers… [the pitch] was just mortifying.
How did you prepare for the pitch?
The pitch that I did with the sharks, the producers work with you. I wrote the pitch and they fine-tuned it with me – you practice it with them. I had been so cheeky with them when I was practicing, and it just went totally awry. You have this stare-off with [the sharks] for 30 seconds – whatever nerves you had before, that takes it up to another notch.
What do you think went wrong?
[Cheek'd only had] a little over a thousand paying customers. There was no way I was going to get out of that. That was the answer that shot me down — there was no lying. You can't go on the Shark Tank and lie about your numbers…
…I just don't think they got it. I wasn't even really able to get my point across. What I'm doing is solving missed connections — [for example], the train door's closing, and there's an opportunity you might never get again. You get this chance to say hello. I think it's a very romantic real life way to meet, when we're in this mode of constant technology connection. [The sharks] would never even need anything like this. They probably don't remember how difficult it was to find someone.
Was there a moment you knew it was all over?
When I was in there, it felt like five minutes into it, I knew it was going to go down. I really liked Mark [Cuban], and he was the first one that went out. I really had my eye on him. With his personality, I thought he'd be a great partner for me.
Was there anything that surprised you about the experience?
It just was so intense. I almost felt like I had been drugged, and I climbed Mount Everest building this business, and once I got to the top, someone kicked me off the mountain.
When you leave there's a therapist that comes and sees you in your trailer. I was in there with my fiancé and my web developer, and we were drinking wine and [the therapist came in and] I was like… "I'm fine."
Even though you got shot down on Shark Tank, are people paying more attention to Cheek'd?
My inbox is just flooded with feedback and praise, and people saying the sharks made a mistake. There's tons of investors in there. I think it was great. Our site crashed for a couple minutes! We got almost 100,000 unique visitors. We're definitely peaking right now, that's the good news, too. Our android app went live Friday. I don't think we're near 1,000 [downloads] yet, but it's okay. It still has a few bugs in it. Its not in the Apple store yet, but it should be any day…
… I'm just celebrating the fact that 8 million people watch the show. It's like the whole city of New York watching the show. Someone sent me a Google analytic that we got more searches this month than OkCupid or JDate, which is huge.
Since the Shark Tank filming you've sort of started over — you've redesigned the site and launched a new mobile app. If Cheek'd was barely surviving at the time of filming, how is it still alive now? How are you funding everything?
I have a CTO now. He bought out my old partners. He owns a chunk of my company, has savvy business sense and is the solution to everything that's gone wrong with Cheek'd previously. It's been a blessing.
So even though the sharks weren't interested, this whole thing seems like it was a positive experience for you.
I remember after it had gone so badly, I walked out and I'm like, this has got to get on television. I don't care how bad it was. I kept saying, "Do you think it was bad enough that I'll get on?" I just want to tell people about what I'm trying to build…
… I just don't want people feeling sorry for me. This is going to be life-altering in one way or another. I feel like this app is going to be a game changer. I think it's going to be the next Tinder. Call me delusional, but we could be the next Tinder.
Here's Ms. Cheek talking about Cheek'd:

If you've been following along with my blog and Instagram, you'll know that I am a big fan of street art, public art, and urban art. When I heard the the world's largest single piece of art constructed by one individual was located in South Central Los Angeles, I knew I had to take the trip down there to see it for myself. It took one man, Italian immigrant Sabato Rodia, 33 years (yep, THIRTY THREE years...that's dedication if ya ask me!) total to built and he constructed the towers without any machinery or power towels. He built the towers from the ground up in steel covered with mortar, and then decorated the towers with mosaic tiles, glass, clay, shells, bottles, and rocks.
According to the Watts Tower website, "The tallest tower (third from left) is 30 meters high. The tower to the left of it is 29.5 and the next one 16.76 meters high. The highest tower contains the longest slender reinforced concrete column in the world. The monument also features a gazebo with a center column and a spire reaching a height of 38 feet. Rodia's "ship of Marco Polo" has a spire of 28 feet, and the 140-foot long "south wall" is decorated extensively with tiles, sea shells, pottery, glass and hand-drawn designs."
My mom is also a lover of art, so the two of us went on a thirty minute tour, where we were able to go inside of the gated area and see the towers up close. If you decide to make the trip down here, I'd definitely recommend going at a time where a tour takes place so that you can hear more about the history, Sabato's inspiration for creating the towers, and examine the details of the towers up close, rather than from afar. Tours are $7 total. Our guide was super friendly and extremely knowledgeable - he was able to answer any and all questions we had and even offered to take pictures of us throughout the tour! The blogger in me appreciated that very much ;)
If you're a fan of public and urban art, I'd definitely recommend adding this hidden gem attraction to your LA Bucket List! The Watts Towers and Art Center is located at 1727 East 107th Street, Los Angeles California SA 90002. There's plenty of free street parking, and you can click here for more details on tour times and directions.
Before I leave you for the day, I'd like to share that I was reading online about the area of South Central LA and read, "South Central is a relatively impoverished region of Los Angeles infamous for gang violence. However, despite its negative reputation, it has improved in recent years and does offer certain sights for the traveler. This is where you will find the museums of Exposition Park and the famous Watts Towers, and the neighborhood of Leimert Park has developed as an African-American cultural center." I think it's important to mention - and start a conversation - around the reputation that South Central Los Angeles has and the history behind its neighborhoods. Click to read more about the history of Watts and West Adams neighborhoods, the LA riots, gang history, and more.

The punishment for adultery visited a married woman and her lover who got stuck while having sex. Joro Olumofin, a Nigerian relationship expert, shared a video of a married woman and her lover who were jammed while making love.
It was understood that The woman's husband had placed a charm, popularly known as Magun which literally means "do not climb."
In the Yoruba culture of Western region of Nigeria, the strange tradition of Magun means "do not climb". It is done to restrict either man or woman from sexual promiscuity. Parents can place magun on their daughters to keep them from being promiscuous and punish anyone who rapes them, or it could be done by in-laws, lovers, spouses to keep husbands or wives from being unfaithful.
It was noted that the man had been suspecting his wife was involved in extra marital affairs so he went ahead to put the charm on her.

Fracking: Sustaining America's Energy Future
Created as a "foundation of information," the Rational Middle Energy Series is an initiative born out of the artistic creation of director and producer Gregory Kallenberg in order to offer a variety of perspectives. While the issue of energy and sustainability can be polarizing one that often separates equally passionate opinions and perspectives, the goal of the Rational Middle is to encourage a dialogue based on mutual respect.
With its history and resources, Western Pennsylvania is a national and international leader in energy, and should be at the forefront of dialogue concerning energy. As energy needs only continue to grow, our collective ability to understand and embrace the importance and necessity of energy will only be more pressing as we move further into the future.
Bricolage Production Company, the Anti-Drone Warfare Coalition, and the World Affairs Council of Pittsburgh present a staged reading of the play The Predator, by Jack Gilroy, followed by a panel discussion on the use of drones. Part of Bricolage's 5th Wall series, this event is designed to break down the barriers between scripted storytelling and current events — in our community and around the world — and is intended to make audience members think about issues from different vantage points. The February 10 event will hone in on the complex moral, ethical, and national security issues surrounding the use of drones.

Robbins and the award-winning Documentary Group.
Following the screening of selected scenes from the film, there will be a panel discussion with education experts from around the world who will drill down on the variety of challenges girls face in getting an education.

Occupy Your Mind: Art as Politics
Occupy Your Mind is an invitation for Pittsburgh to get inside the space between its ears. The Occupy movement is, among other things, a provocation to keep opening up spaces to discuss, debate, and deal with the multiple impacts of the massive concentration of wealth, power, and cultural influence in the U.S. and around the world.
Occupy Your Mind offers people from the Pittsburgh area one way to expand these efforts. Part teach-in, part salon, with lots of room for socializing and discussion, it provides a monthly opportunity to engage the urgent issues of the present and to imagine more effective ways of building better futures.
Occupy Your Mind wants to encourage collective learning beyond the limits of the corporate media, generate new ideas for democratic renewal, and stimulate people to develop creative ways of making their ideas real.
The Global Poverty Project
A simple yet ground-breaking presentation travelled the world, inspiring and empowering audiences in its path. Based on leading research, the 90 minute presentation clearly articulates the facts of extreme poverty and demonstrates that by making simple changes everyone can be a part of the solution.
Firefly Tunnels
The Firefly Tunnel enables artists to upload video, sound and images. Each artist has the opportunity to post their work as a new medium for other artists to manipulate and respond to in the Lab or to protect the work so that it can only be viewed as inspiration in their private Studio. The tunnel is collaborative in nature, acting as a virtual performance and installation lab. There will be a private and public section of the site. The private section is for works in progress that are not open to the public eye. The public section, or the Gallery is open for critique from the global community where feedback can be posted, responded to and defended, opening up world wide dialogue of artistic exchange. Tavia La Follette and co-curator Katherine Talcott are working together to curate work into the virtual Gallery. From the virtual gallery and by watching you work with the Egyptians, Katherine and Tavia are curating the final exhibit opening at the end of August at the Mattress Factory Museum.
Politics Salon PGH: Saving Lives
Every year, natural disasters affect close to 160 million people worldwide. In addition, political turbulence in many regions has increased the number of people fleeing unrest. In 2009, there were 15.2 million refugees and 27.1 million internally displaced people in the world. Both natural and man-made disasters have a profound impact on human life, but it is often the most vulnerable who are hardest hit. How can the international community respond to the needs of disaster victims around the world?
