007 Vehicle: T-55 Tank / GoldenEye (1995)
Bond Vehicle: T-55 Tank
Bond Movie: GoldenEye (1995)
Bond steals a T-55 Tank from the Russians and chases General Ourumov along streets of St. Petersburg, Russia.
The T-54 and T-55 tanks are a series of main battle tanks (according to some sources) although not recognised as an MBT by Soviet and Russian sources, instead classifying them as medium tanks (the very concept of "main battle tanks" was applied only to tanks beginning with T-64A, armed with 125-mm tank gun) that were designed in the Soviet Union. The first T-54 prototype appeared in March 1945, just as the Second World War ended. The T-54 entered full production in 1947 and became the main tank for armoured units of the Soviet Army, armies of the Warsaw Pact countries, and others. T-54s and T-55s were involved in many of the world's armed conflicts during the late 20th and early 21st centuries.

"Early in the evening, he ate a pleasant salmon steak at the Blue Lagoon Restaurant, under what appeared to be a tropical night sky, with the sound of surf on the beaches. The lagoon itself was visible from where he sat, and every few minutes the boats full of visitors drifted past on their way to the adventure of the Pirates of the Caribbean which, he decided, would be his next experience."

Beatrice Lang
We want to thank Bern Tourism and their guide Beatrice Lang for the Private tour "From Hollywood to Bollywood". According to movie theme, she gave us some popcorn.
Our guide showed beautiful Bern to us.
The history of the city of Bern proper begins with its founding by Duke Berchtold V of Zähringen in 1191. Local legend has it that the duke vowed to name the city after the first animal he met on the hunt, which turned out to be a bear. Both the name of the city (Bern can stand for Bär(e) n, bears) and its heraldic beast, come from this legend. The entire old town of Bern is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. See more information here.
Untertorbrücke and Felsenburg
The Untertorbrücke (Lower Gate Bridge) is a stone arch bridge that spans the river Aare at the easternmost point of the Enge peninsula in the city of Bern, Switzerland, connecting the Mattequartier in the Old City to the Schosshalde neighbourhood. Built in its current form in 1461–89, it is the oldest of Bern's Aare bridges, and was the city's only bridge up until the middle of the 19th century. See more information here.
The Felsenburg is a fortified castle and tower in the city of Bern and the canton of Bern in Switzerland. It is part of the UNESCO Cultural World Heritage Site of the Old City of Bern and, together with the adjacent Untertorbrücke, it is a cultural property of national significance. See more information here.

Address: Nydegghof 2
The second-oldest church building in the city of Bern.
The original Nydegg Castle was built around 1190 by either Duke Berchtold V. von Zähringen or his father Berchtold IV as part of the city defenses. Following the second expansion, the castle was destroyed by the citizens of Bern in 1268. The castle was located about where the Choir of the church now stands, with the church tower resting on the southern corner of the donjon. See more information here.

It is one of the Old City of Bern's 16th Century fountains and is part of the list of Swiss heritage sites of national significance. There are over 100 public fountains in the city of Bern of which eleven are crowned with Renaissance allegorical statues. The statues were created during the period of civic improvement that occurred as Bern became a major city-state during the 16th century. The fountains were originally built as a public water supply. As Bern grew in power, the original fountains were expanded and decorated but retained their original purpose.
See more information here.
Prison Tower (Käfigturm)
Address: Theater am Käfigturm, Spitalgasse 4
The Prison Tower, built between 1256 and 1344, was the second city gate into Bern.

The Zytglogge is the landmark medieval clock tower in the Old City of Bern. It has existed since about 1218–1220 and is one of the most recognizable symbols of Bern. The name Zyglogge is Bernese German and translates as Zeitglocke in Standard German or time bell in English. A "time bell" was one of the earliest public timekeeping devices, consisting of a clockwork connected to a hammer that rang a small bell at every full hour. The Zytglogge clock is one of the three oldest clocks in Switzerland. Today it is one of Bern's most important sights. The ornate astronomical clock with its moving figures was built in 1530. It served as the city's main clock and thus had an authoritative function in Bern. See more information here.
The Last Judgement (Berner Münster)
Address: Münsterplatz in Old Town of Bern
Statues representing the Last Judgement, over the main portal of the Münster of Bern.
Above the main portal is a rare complete collection of Gothic sculpture. The collection represents the Christian belief in the Last Judgment where the wicked will be separated from the righteous.

It was nice to take the walking tour. After that back to the hotel and explored Hotel Schweizerhof's surrounding. Right next to the hotel is Church of the Holy Ghost (Heiliggeistkirche), which is located at Spitalgasse 44. You can see the church clearly in the Bond film "On Her Majesty's Secret Service" (1969). Bond and his ally Shaun Campbell (Bernard Horsfall) watch the clock of the church in order to schedule copying the secret documents of Ernst Stavro Blofeld before attorney Gebrüder Gumbold comes back to his office.

9News' Susie Wargin gets blistered -- by my daughter
Watch out, Ms. Wargin.
Michael Roberts | November 24, 2008 | 5:55am
These days, fans frequently lament that TV-news sports reports don't have nearly as much sports in them as they once did. Prime example: my daughter Lora, 15, who went off on such a memorable rant about 9News' Susie Wargin last week, on the day after the Denver Nuggets defeated the San Antonio Spurs, that I transcribed the whole thing. Before I turn it over to her, however, I need to include a few prefatory notes. First of all, I didn't see the sports segment she describes, but I suspect it was a "sports extra" package, as opposed to the main update. Also, her time references are highly variable, but I think you'll get the point -- and although she asked to change a faux-profanity she used to the real thing, her mom said "no."
And now, without further adieu, let the punishment begin:
"It pisses me off. It's her job description to frickin' talk about sports, but I wake up in the morning, eager to hear about sports, and every morning it's about a bike or breast cancer or a treadmill for the legless: I don't know. It doesn't make any sense. She doesn't do what she's supposed to do. I knew the Nuggets won last night, and I was all excited, because they're actually kicking ass this season, and I was too lazy to read the newspaper -- so I wanted to turn on the TV and have the information shown to me in video clips and such. And she talked about a bike for, like, twenty minutes and didn't mention one thing about any other sport. And there was a game last night. I was so pissed. I wanted to see the Nuggets kick ass. That's not too much to ask. She needs to start doing her job, or they need to deduct her pay. So I went to ESPN. They at least do their jobs. They're a sports network, so they show sports. She has ten minutes of sports and she doesn't even show any sports. ESPN didn't show me any Nuggets, but who cares. At least they were showing some sporting event. I'm sure those bikes are exciting for someone, but can't they show them in a five-minute block instead of a twenty-minute block?" -- Michael Roberts

Several months ago this newspaper was briefed by Chairman of the Private Sector Commission (PSC) Norman McLean about the planned staging of a public/private business/economic forum which, as we understood it, was intended to chart a course for a longer-term relationship between the business sector and the new political administration.
In the previous year representatives of the private sector and the Ramotar administration had met at a similar type of forum arising out of which, presumably, were outcomes that also had to do with the future of public/private sector relations. The public has never been apprised of the outcomes of that forum nor, as far as this newspaper is aware, were any of whatever decisions made at the forum, implemented.
In the case of the more recent promised forum, that was to have originally taken place in September and, according to Mr McLean, was to have included participation from the diaspora. Not too many other details appeared to be available at the time.
As the weeks went by there was no real evidence of any serious planning towards the intended September event. One would have expected that at the very least there might have been announcements made about public/private sector consultations and about the setting up of committees/groups to fine tune – perhaps on a sectoral basis – the forum. It might have been expected too that some information would have been forthcoming on the input from the diaspora including, particularly, the areas in which its contributions might have been expected.
A period of several weeks elapsed during which nothing was heard from either the government or the private sector about the forum and a point was eventually reached where it became clear that the event would not take place in September as had been announced.
Our enquiries with the private sector were responded to with word that the event would now take place in November (early in November, as far as we recall) though the manifest evidence that no planning appeared to be taking place towards meeting that deadline suggested that the November promise was by no means a sure thing.
The government and the private sector, meanwhile appeared to be far more preoccupied with issues like crime and, more recently, the Anti-Terrorism Bill. On both issues there appeared to be no real evidence of a meeting of minds.
November has come and gone and the promised forum has not taken place. Indeed, it never seemed at any point that the forum would be staged. On the surface at least the government never seemed to be particularly enthused by the idea. Certainly, it has never made a public pronouncement suggesting that it was looking forward to the engagement. For its part, the private sector struck a posture of what can, at best, be described indifference, communicating the impression that sitting down with the political administration to discuss how the two could collectively take the country's economy forward, was not exactly on the top of its agenda.

FOCUS: San Francisco Brands NRA a 'Domestic Terrorist Organization'
Written by Tom Dickinson, Rolling Stone
Dickinson writes: "The San Francisco Board of Supervisors has unanimously branded the National Rifle Association a 'domestic terrorist organization,' citing the NRA's 'extremist positions' and deceptive 'propaganda.'"

San Francisco Brands NRA a 'Domestic Terrorist Organization'
By Tim Dickinson, Rolling Stone
NRA blasts the unanimous resolution by the city government as "absurd" and "chilling"
he San Francisco Board of Supervisors has unanimously branded the National Rifle Association a "domestic terrorist organization," citing the NRA's "extremist positions" and deceptive "propaganda." The NRA is calling the legislative maneuver a "chilling" and "unprovoked assault" on its membership.
The resolution, passed Tuesday, was introduced by supervisor Catherine Stefani, a former prosecutor who identifies herself in her city bio as a "gun violence prevention activist." The measure cites the nation's "epidemic of gun violence" — including more than 36,000 killings and a gun homicide rate "25 times higher than any other high-income country in the world" — and invokes the July mass shooting at the Garlic Festival in nearby Gilroy.
The resolution paraphrases the U.S. Department of Justice's definition of terrorism as including anyone who "commits an act that the actor knows, or reasonably should know, affords material support, including communications, funds, weapons, or training to any individual [who] has committed or plans to commit a terrorist act."
The measure describes the NRA as using "its considerable wealth and organizational strength to… incite gun owners to acts of violence" and accuses the NRA of promoting "propaganda that… aims to deceive the public about the dangers of gun violence." The resolution takes particular aim at the NRA's leadership whom, it claims, promote "extremist positions" that "undermine the general welfare."
The resolution builds to this crescendo:
WHEREAS, The National Rifle Association through its advocacy has armed those individuals who would and have committed acts of terrorism; and
WHEREAS, All countries have violent and hateful people, but only in America do we give them ready access to assault weapons and large-capacity magazines thanks, in large part, to the National Rifle Association's influence; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED That the City and County of San Francisco intends to declare the National Rifle Association a domestic terrorist organization.
The resolution is largely symbolic, but it calls on the city "take every reasonable step to assess the financial and contractual relationships our vendors and contractors have with this domestic terrorist organization" and to "limit those entities who do business with the City… from doing business with this domestic terrorist organization."
The resolution further calls on San Francisco to "encourage all other jurisdictions" — from cities and states to the federal government — to adopt similar positions.
Supervisor Stephani could not be reached for an interview, but she has defended her resolution citing the NRA's efforts to limit research on gun violence as well as its inciteful rhetoric: "When they use phrases like, 'I'll give you my gun when you pry it from my cold, dead hands,'" she said, "they are saying reasoned debate about public safety should be met with violence."
Prior to passage of the resolution, the NRA denounced the measure as a "ludicrous stunt." Reached Thursday, NRA public affairs director Andrew Arulanandam gave Rolling Stone the following statement: "This action is an unprovoked assault on the First Amendment rights of millions of law abiding Americans for exercising their fundamental constitutional rights. The Board of Supervisors maligned more than 5 million members of the NRA but their actions and implications should be chilling to every American."

Friedrich Naumann Foundation for Freedom, together with NextGenSL, organised an event named "iLead", which was held on the 8th of March to commemorate International Women's day and shine a spotlight on what reforms women felt they deserved, through having ten highly accomplished women to make a ten minute speech on what they would change and do differently if they were to become president.
Not all heroes wear capes, but a lot of them wear saris, duppattas and whatever they want to.
At the wake of this Pandemic women are working twice as much. They are taking care of the household and also working from home. Their work hours as compared to men has been doubled. But in a complex society like ours intersectionality also plays a huge role in the discrimination against women.
NATO withdrawal from Afghanistan leaves the region nervous

"Happy" Bhutan threatened by climate change and geopolitics
For decades, the small Kingdom of Bhutan, has carefully controlled its exposure to the more materialistic lifestyles adopted elsewhere in the world. It's concept of Gross National Happiness (GNH) taking precedence over Gross Domestic Product (GDP), as envisioned by that nation's 4th King, Jigme Singye Wangchuck has won Bhutan the status of being the only carbon neutral country in the world. It also fares pretty well on the world happiness index.

Before I write anything else here today, I need to make a confession. This post was inspired by a post on the Black Duck Inc Blog. Erich, who writes that blog, wrote about car flags and how they can be used for group identification, and that started me thinking about all the other sublimatable products we offer that can also be used for group identification. At that point, the idea for this post was born.
Since Erich mentioned car flags as a method of group identification, I figured we would start there. EnMart sells car flags that can be sublimated with the logo or slogan of your group. Car flags are a great idea for any group that wants to identify themselves as they travel, but doesn't want to do anything permanent to their vehicles.
When it comes to sublimation, name badges are probably the first thought that jumps to mind. A sublimated name badge is a great way to identify salespeople, workers in a trade show booth, or any person or group of people who need to be easily spotted within a larger group. EnMart also sells magnet attachments for our name badges, which means they can be secured to clothing without putting holes in the fabric.
Like car flags, personalized license plates are a great way to identify a group that is on the move. EnMart offers FRP license plates which can be personalized with the name of your car club or touring company. We also sell license plate frames. You will most often see these used by car dealerships, as a method of letting people know where a particular car was purchased, and identifying the driver as a customer of that dealership.
If you're fielding a group for a Relay for Life or March of Dimes walk or some other sort of walk/run fundraiser, sublimated water bottles are a great way to create a group identity. They're much nicer looking than plastic water bottles and also make a great keepsake after the event has concluded.
Finally, when it comes to group identification, we can't forget luggage tags or sports bag tags. These are invaluable for tour groups or sports teams that travel. If you have a lot of luggage or equipment that needs to be easily identifiable and easy to keep together, these tags can be a life saver.


Whether your need is individual or for a group, please contact us to discuss your Home Care or Hot Meal requirements. We are happy to help and to be of service, for the short or longer term. We look forward to meeting you.

Achille-Emile-Othon Friesz
Achille-Émile-Othon Friesz, who later just called himself Othon Friesz, was born in Le Havre in 1879. Early on he was encouraged by his parents to become a painter and as soon as 1892 he began training at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Le Havre, where he worked at Charles-Marie Lhullier's workshop. It was there that he met with Raoul Dufy and George Braque, with whom he developed a lasting friendship and travelled. In 1897 Friesz was granted a scholarship and studied until 1903 under Léon Bonnat at the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris. He met with Henri Charles Manguin, Albert Marquet, Henri Matisse and Charles Camoin. Especially his contact to Camille Pissaro influenced Friesz in that period of creativity. The painter made his artistic debut in 1900 at the Salon of the Société des Artistes français. Then he exhibited work in 1904 at the first Salon d'Automne and again in 1906 at the Salon des Indépendants. Over the years Friesz abandoned his former nature-orientated concept in favour of works formed by Fauvism. The artiste travelled extensively, et al. to Portugal in 1911 and to Belgium in 1912. Stays in Munich and Düsseldorf as well as the participation in exhibitions by the Berlin Secession made Friesz's work known in Germany as well. Friesz, who participated in exhibitions not only throughout Europe but also in the Armory Show in New York as well as in Chicago, taught between 1912 and 1921 at the Académie Moderne in Paris, from 1925 at the Académie Scandinave and from 1944 at the Académie de la Grande Chaumière. An outstanding late work is the decoration he did with Raoul Dufy for the Palais de Chaillot on the occasion of the world fair in Paris in 1937. Even though the artist used a more traditional, austere technique in his late works, several of his earlier works, especially from 1907, are regarded as the boldest examples of Fauvism.

Focal points in a formal setting
Show off your vegetable garden by incorporating design aspects of formal gardens
Written by Lauren Bonar Swezey and Jim McCausland, August 20, 2004
"Vegetable gardening should be elevated to the level of a formal garden, where the beauty of the plants can be shown off to maximum potential," says designer Freeland Tanner, who gardens with his wife, Sabrina, in Napa, California.
Inspired by the plants' delightful colors, textures, and forms, the Tanners created a inviting garden room in which to show them off.
A formal allée of metal arbors draws visitors into the garden along a gravel path and culminates at a circular herb bed accented with a wooden obelisk.
Throughout the rest of the garden, raised beds with low stone columns at the corners form living tapestries of plants in complementary colors. "I stage each bed like a flower arrangement," Freeland explains. He starts with a focal point in the center, then builds a composition around it.
Large half-barrels, for instance, anchor most beds. In each barrel, the Tanners place an obelisk (planted with beans or peas, depending on the season) or a handsome blend of vegetables, herbs, and flowers. In other beds, variegated corn, Agastache 'Tutti Frutti' (shown above), or other tall plants serve as focal points. Below these, low-growing herbs and vegetables form patterns (as in a potager) or a more random mix of compatible colors and shapes.
Each bed is edged with overlapping hoops formed from small cuttings of apple, elderberry, and pear trees. The hoops are then underplanted with sweet alyssum, parsley, or violas.
The Tanners do mix in a few choice nonedible perennial flowers with their crops. "This way, we'll always have vegetables for dinner and flowers for the table," says Freeland.
Create focal points. Place a large container, an obelisk, a trellis, or a sculptural object in the center of the bed.
Arrange the bed like a container. Place taller plants in the center and surround them with shorter plants.
Plant in patterns. Arrange low-growing plants with interesting forms, colors, and textures (cabbages, herbs like basil) in circles or other patterns.
Echo colors. Start with a colored vegetable (purple eggplant, for example), then echo the hue with similarly colored vegetables, flowers, or foliage.
Grow vegetables vertically. Trailing types of cucumbers, melons, and squash are space hogs: Train them on an arbor or trellis. Pole beans, peas, and indeterminate tomatoes also need to be trained on some sort of structure.
Plan for seasonal change. Consider the seasons so you can shift from cool- to warm-season plants and back again "like a seasonal migration," advises Freeland Tanner. When one crop is harvested, have something ready to plug in the hole.
Frame the space. Surround the perimeter of the bed or garden with edging or a fence.


Not every company can boast that it was founded out of a desire to provide superior service to clients. The founding members of Xpedient Communications shared a vision for a company dedicated to caring about more than their bottom line.
An integral part of caring for our customers is the quality that marks every Xpedient solution. This quality is borne out of our team's vast experience. President Doug Catania often jokes about how he graduated high school on a Friday and found himself installing crossbar phone systems the following Monday. He has been working in the communications technologies industry ever since!
We are proud of our over 100 years of combined experience, but we refuse to let our history keep us in the past. At Xpedient Communications, we value the time-tested and embrace the innovative. We integrate cutting-edge technology into our solutions and get excited over things like Avaya's Radvision and Mobility offerings.
If you were to walk into the centrally-located Xpedient offices in Kearny Mesa, you would see our team hard at work, but you would also notice an open work environment and may likely hear the sounds of outlaw country or classic rock in the background. We work hard to create an inviting workplace for our employees because we believe that happy employees translates to happy clients. Our focus on employee satisfaction and professional development helps our company serve you better.
If you are interested in becoming one of our satisfied clients, please contact us.
They were responsive and proactive. I feel like they spoiled me! Working with the same team for both of our projects made everything work so well. The techs were upbeat and friendly, and they really knew their stuff! I wouldn't want to work with anyone else; their commitment to serving their customers is evident.
Xpedient completed two projects for my company. I am very satisfied with their work, and I would definitely recommend them. The techs we worked with were experienced and knew every detail of my project. They were done on-schedule, and we haven't had any connectivity issues.


Since the mortgage lender is lending a large sum of money to the borrower so that the borrower can buy a property, they generally keep the property as a security in case the borrower fails to repay the loan.
any other person of a class prescribed after consultation with the Minister for the Environment, for the purposes of the Act.
However, a mortgage lender will always try and make a good profit.
Since most profiles in the mortgage lending industry give a lot on incentives and performance, it is important that you have the killer instinct to identify the right deals and stay on top.
The lender may offer you easier rates but you may have to pay a considerable amount of money towards fees.
Do a background check, ask around, see the records and then settle for a mortgage lender that best suits your needs.


Promising new calibration tools, called laser frequency combs, could allow astronomers to take a major step in discovering and characterizing earthlike planets around other stars. These devices generate evenly spaced lines of light, much like the teeth on a comb for styling hair or the tick marks on a ruler—hence their nickname of "optical rulers." The tick marks serve as stable reference points when making precision measurements such as those of the small shifts in starlight caused by planets pulling gravitationally on their parent stars.
The Caltech comb produces spectral lines in the infrared, making it ideal for studying red dwarf stars, the most common stars in the Milky Way. Red dwarf stars are brightest in infrared wavelengths. Because red dwarfs are small, cool, and dim, planets orbiting these types of stars are easier to detect and analyze than those orbiting hotter sun-like stars.
NASA's Kepler space observatory has shown that almost all red dwarf stars host planets in the range of one to four times the size of Earth, with up to 25 percent of these planets located in the temperate, or "habitable," zone around their host stars. Thus, many astronomers predict that red dwarfs provide the best chance for the first discovery of a world capable of supporting life.
"Our goal is to make these laser frequency combs simple and sturdy enough that you can slap them onto every telescope, and you don't have to think about them anymore," says paper coauthor Charles Beichman, senior faculty associate in astronomy and the executive director of the NASA ExoPlanet Science Institute at Caltech. "Having these combs routinely available as a modest add-on to current and future instrumentation really will expand our ability to find potentially habitable planets, particularly around very cool red dwarf stars," he says.
Today's commercially available combs have a significant drawback. Because their tick marks are so finely spaced, the light output of these combs must be filtered to produce useful reference lines. This extra step adds complexity to the system and requires costly additional equipment.
To resolve these kinds of issues, Caltech researchers looked to a kind of comb not previously deployed for astronomy. The novel comb produces easily resolvable lines, without any need for filtering. Furthermore, the Caltech comb is built from off-the-shelf components developed by the telecommunications industry.
Scientists first began widely using laser frequency combs as precision rulers in the late 1990s in fields like metrology and spectroscopy; for their work, the technology's developers (John L. Hall of JILA and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and Theodor Hänsch of the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics and Ludwig Maximilians University Munich) were awarded half of the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2005. In astronomy, the combs are starting to be utilized in the radial velocity, or "wobble" method, the earliest and among the most successful methods for identifying exoplanets.
The "wobble" refers to the periodic changes in a star's motion, accompanied by starlight shifts owing to the Doppler effect, that are induced by the gravitational pull of an exoplanet orbiting around the star. The magnitude of the shift in the starlight's wavelength—on the order of quadrillionths of a meter—together with the period of the wobble can be used to determine an exoplanet's mass and orbital distance from its star. These details are critical for assessing habitability parameters such as surface temperature and the eccentricity of the exoplanet's orbit. With exoplanets that pass directly in front of (or "transit") their host star, allowing their radius to be determined directly, it is even possible to determine the bulk composition—for example, if the planet is built up primarily of gas, ice, or rock.
In recent years, so-called mode-locked laser combs have proven useful in this task. These lasers generate a periodic stream of ultrashort light pulses to create the comb. With such combs, however, approximately 49 out of every 50 tick marks must be blocked out. This requires temperature- and vibration-insensitive filtering equipment.
The new electro-optical comb that Vahala and his team studied relies on microwave modulation of a continuous laser source, rather than a pulsed laser. It produces comb lines spaced by tens of gigahertz. These lines have from 10 to 100 times wider spacing than the tick marks of pulsed laser combs.
To see how well a prototype would work in the field, the researchers took their comb to Mauna Kea in Hawaii. In September 2014, the instrument was tested at the NASA Infrared Telescope Facility shown above; in March 2015, it was tested with the Near Infrared Spectrometer on the W. M. Keck Observatory's Keck II telescope with the assistance of UCLA astronomer Mike Fitzgerald and UCLA graduate student Emily Martin, coauthors on the paper. The researchers found that their simplified comb (the entire electro-optical comb apparatus requires only half of the space available on a standard 19-inch instrumentation rack) provided steady calibration at room temperature for more than five days at IRTF. The comb also operated flawlessly during the second test—despite having been disassembled, stored for six months, and reassembled.
"From a technological maturity point of view, the frequency comb we have developed is already basically ready to go and could be installed at many telescopes," says paper coauthor Scott Diddams of NIST.
The research team is planning to double the frequency of the prototype comb's light output—now centered around 1,550 nanometers, in the infrared—to reach into the visible light range. Doing so would allow the comb also to calibrate spectra from sun-like stars, whose light output is at shorter, visible wavelengths, and thus seek out planets that are Earth's "twins."
The paper is titled "Demonstration of a near-IR line-referenced electro-optical laser frequency comb for precision radial velocity measurements in astronomy." The research performed at Caltech and JPL was funded through the President's and Director's Fund Program, and the work at NIST was funded by the National Science Foundation.

Japan qualifiy for the ICC U19 Cricket World Cup for the first time ever
by International Cricket Council Saturday 8 June 2019
©International Cricket Council
Japan have qualified for the ICC U19 Cricket World Cup for the first time ever as they have been confirmed winners of the ICC U19 Cricket World Cup EAP Qualifier.
Japan will travel to South Africa in early 2020 to participate in the ICC U19 Cricket World Cup after securing qualification on home soil.
At the Sano International Cricket Ground earlier in the day, Vanuatu overcame a fightback from Samoa to chase down the total of 56 with in the 20th over with two wickets to spare.
Samoa won the toss and opted to bat on a seaming pitch and were in immediate trouble losing three wickets in the first three overs.
Samoan batsmen tried to rejuvenate the innings but unfortunately for them they were unable to forge out any substantial partnerships and were eventually bowled out for 56.
Vanuatu opening bowler used the conditions to his favour causing all sorts of trouble for the Samoan batsmen, on his way to collecting personal best figures (8 for 18 off 8.2).
With the conditions still overcast, the Samoan bowlers fought back bravely taking wickets at regular intervals.
Vanuatu captain Bettan Viraliliu (23 off 42) made the most of his chances to anchor the innings however was eventually dismissed with the score at 6/47 in the 18th over.
Vanuatu managed to scrape through passing the Samoan score with two wickets in hand, although some lion-hearted bowling from the Samoan opening bowlers of Sitanisilao Toutai (2 for 21 off 8) and Lester Evile (5 for 23 off 9.4) almost snatched an improbable victory.
Andrew Mansale, coach of Vanuatu praised the bowling advice from former New Zealand Test Player Brent Arnel who joined the team during the week.
"Brent gave us a few tips during the week, the result was that one of our bowlers, Edwell Kalfau took eight wickets and the way he bowled was just unbelievable, where he used the conditions really well to his advantage".
The day capped off a fascinating week in Sano, which showcased the best of youth cricket in the East Asia-Pacific region
Summary Score
Samoa 56 (16.2) Kalfau 8/18 (8.2) defeated by Vanuatu 8/57 (19.4) Viraliliu 23, Evile 5/23 (9.4) by 2 wickets

Another week, another round of upsets in the FCS. Jacksonville State and Chattanooga were both top 10 teams last week. Both lost. We nearly had a second straight week where our number one team lost, but Weber State got a 50 yard hail mary on the last play of the game to preserve the win. VMI has moved within one win of the Southern Conference title. Our eyes will be on them this weekend.

The Dukes were not happy with their offensive production. Between penalties, turnovers and missed field goals, Coach Curt Cignetti felt the team left a lot of points on the board.

J. Gehring – O. Huck, La notazione 'italiana' del Trecento. Abstract.
P. Ostuni, Il chitarrone 'col suono solo' e la sua destinazione 'in seguitare queli che cantano': la riscoperta del 'Libro terzo d'intavolatura di Chitarone' di Giovanni Girolamo Kapsberger' (Roma, 1626). Abstract.
M. De Giorgi, 'Traslitterazione' e simbologia del linguaggio tonale nel Finale della 'Nona Sinfonia': l'ultimo Beethoven regista di se stesso. Abstract.
A. Alberti, 'Uomini e no' di Niccolò Castiglioni: un'opera 'engagée'. che non arrivò sulle scene. Abstract.
M. Toffetti, La produzione musicale di Francesco Lucino: postille e precisazioni.
'Italian' notation – in opposition to 'French' notation, that rather should be called 'international' – in the present paper is delimited to notation using a punctus divisionis continuously. All Trecento sources exhibiting this feature are explored with regard to the use and meaning of the notational signs within the divisio. On the basis of two new concordances to the Rossi Codex, the variability of 'Italian' notation, as a phenomenon existing from its beginning, is displayed. Criteria such as applying the principle of via naturae, the downward stemmed semibrevis, the implementation of new notational signs as those featuring a diagonal stem on the left side, or the direction of the flags of semiminimae lead to the identification of temporal and regional distinguishable or even individual notational practices.
The recent rediscovery of Giovanni Girolamo Kapsberger's Libro terzo d'intavolatura di Chitarrone, now at Yale, adds a major item to the theorbo solo repertoire. Yet the relevance of the event goes beyond the mere availability of another source. Kapsberger was a unique artist in early 17th-century Rome, and the Libro terzo offers a deeper insight in his instrumental opus. Also, it sheds new light on the development of highly idiomatic musical styles for certain instruments—a process in which lute, and chitarrone in particular, played a relevant role.
When Kapsberger's Libro primo d'intavolatura di Chitarrone (Venice, 1604) appeared, it bore the signs «of flashing modernity» (Orlando Cristoforetti) pre-dating, as it did, stylistic/expressive devices later to be found in Frescobaldi's opus. The Libro terzo, with its tables «per sonar sopra la parte», displays such innovations at a riper stage, their meaning looking clearer as well. First, a continuo part is associated to the tablature—an almost unique occurrence in plucked string music. Secondly, one four-part and one five-part madrigali passeggiati are found in a book for solo instrument, showing that the composer was ready to meet demands and requests from a sophisticated environment—the accademie, always ready to jump on any and every musical novelty. The Libro terzo appeared in 1626, and it is perhaps no coincidence that the Roman première of Monteverdi's Orfeo took place in the same year.
After eight toccatas, a gagliarda partita and two correnti, the Libro terzo has an entire section including «passaggi diversi su le note per sonare sopra la parte», cadenzas in tablature, a rich «tavola per intavolare sopra il Chitarrone, alla Italiana et alla Francese,» and even a «tavola per sonare il chitarrone sopra il basso»—all clearly showing Kapsberger's interest in the new trends. This practical tutorial, meant for chitarrone players, has no equivalent in the theorbo printed literature. It does have some in the contemporary Spanish guitar one—evidence that chitarrone playing reached amateurs as well.
In early 17th century, no updated music-theory concepts were at hand and the rift between composers' practice and orthodox theorists' speculation grew wider. From the tables included in the Libro terzo, we can now gain a clear, direct knowledge of the basic principles of harmonic sequence and combination—a most powerful tool to understand and discuss 17th-century Italian music.
Taking its starting point from the so-called "fanfares of terror" which belong to the Ninth Symphony's instrumental finale, this article would like to highlight Beethovens distinctive ways and means of achieving an individual harmonic and tonal approach to composition, making his musical language the powerful mediator between word and music, as the two become indissolubly bonded with the programmatic idea, suggested by Schiller's "Ode to Joy".
The composer's intention to search for a personal approach to the text of Schiller's ode is clearly disclosed by repeated attempts in opening the fourth movement. In his musical language, still instrumental at this point, he finds new means capable of extending the possibilities of musical expression beyond the limits of conventional compositional language.
In his compositional process, Beethoven works successfully out a meaningful network of metaphorical symbols culminating in the finale's three "fanfares of terror", where the poetic idea of the Ninth reveals its true form as the quintessence of the germinal materials for the Symphony, at least in its earlier three movements, that is, before its harmonic-tonal, formal and conceptual transfiguration in the choral finale. By means of the powerful message of this symbolism the composer crosses an inner-musical horizon and raises "Tonkunst" to an universal instrument for comprehending the truth of human life. Beethoven thus becomes not only a true "poet of sounds", who penetrates the meaning of Schiller's text, but moreover he succeeds in representing himself as "producer of his very self", as bound up in his difficult and conflictual dealings with the object, the Symphony's underlying idea, i.e. the "Freude". By creating a "music grown into word" Beethoven manages to represent extramusical, variously untranslatable events by musical means only. In doing so, he reveals his personal relationship with art, as well as with life, and imbues the Symphony and its musical conception with the towering value of a philosophical manifesto.
This contribution intends to shed new light, supported by concrete examples, on the whole plan of the Ninth Symphony, by trying to deal with late-Beethoven's musical thought from research's perspectives so far unexplored. The consciousness of the self in the musical language of the late Beethoven has, as its moral and philosophical contents, the hope for the self-transcendence of coercive norms (in his composition as well as in his life). All this is realized in the Ninth Symphony by a cogently reasoned symbolism, in which a profound change of the course of musical language germinates.
This essay deals with Niccolò Castiglioni's unissued opera, Uomini e no ("Men And Not"). Info is given on the whereabouts of its birth. Since 1953, and possibly for few years, Castiglioni had been a host in writer Elio Vittorini's circle. The plot was drawn from Vittorini's novel bearing the same title. The writer's son, Giusto Vittorini, wrote the libretto and Castiglioni set it to music in 1954-55. It was his first major work grounded in serialism—which, in this case, more or less boils down to classic tone-row techniques.
Contextualization is attempted in the left-wing politically engaged music-making of the Fifties. In those years, music/politics links were quite apparent in the choice of plots, in dedications and opening statements (which holds true both in general and in Castiglioni's case in particular) and in composers' own writings. The question tackled here is whether a composer's political engagement may be detected in musical language as well and, if so, how this may happen in Uomini e no. An answer is tried, after a close discussion of the opera, with its notational, rhythmic and formal devices (special attention being given to Berg's influence) and after recapitulating the two main currents of musical criticism which dealt with this same issue—namely, Adorno's modernist one and the conservative one, with its Zhdanov-like overtones.
In 1957, Uomini e no was scheduled at the Festival delle Novità, Bergamo, but Castiglioni withdrew it few months before. The incident is reconstructed in detail here. The official explanation is reported, alongside the hidden reasons emerging from the correspondence.
An appendix describes the manuscript. Special attention is given to its thickly layered directions, some possibly added just for the Bergamo planned première.


Chuck Palahniuk is the best-selling author of fourteen fictional works, including Fight Club, Invisible Monsters, Survivor, Choke, Lullaby, Diary, Haunted, Rant, Pygmy, Tell-All, Damned, Doomed, Beautiful You and, most recently, Make Something Up. He lives in the Pacific Northwest.
I haven't read yet, can't wait to though !!
Powell's is simply incredible. I wish them nothing but raving success in everything they do. I urge everyone in my circles to buy from them and not some other online outlet that's equivalent to the Starbucks of the book world (that company begins with the letter "A").
Mr Palahniuk is an amazing writer with a wild mind and I appreciate everything that I've read. I dont even know what Adjustment Day is about but he has delivered time and time again so this is happening period. This is also my first autographed book I'm purchasing. Nice. Peace people.
Can not wait for the newest Chuck book!
Adoro leer a Chuck Palahniuk! No puedo esperar a que llegue en español a Argentina!! Saludos!
So excited for another great Palahniuk novel. Been thrusting for more since Legacy, will probably read it all the day it arrives.
Anything this man writes is brilliant! I know this wont be an exception. So cool he signed copies to sell/give away at Powell's!
I am BEYOND excited to read this book! Palahniuk is my favorite author, always keeping it weird, screwed up, and extremely entertaining. I know this will be no different!
When things have been down, lackluster, and grey What better than a bright yellow adjustment day!? Well hey, you're in luck! Chuck Palhniuk has written yet another tale that will wrench your gut, make you think, feel, and possibly fear what is to come in the up coming years! Quite literally....lend him your ears.
I need one! I love all of your books.
I'm so excited to read this book. His books are always so unique, original, and fun. I bet this one will be too.
