The awesome beauty of the Eagle Nebula
Posted by Martin MacPhee and Paul Scott Anderson in Astronomy Essentials | Clusters Nebulae Galaxies | Space | July 29, 2020
The Eagle Nebula – aka Messier 16 or M16 – is home to several well-known cosmic structures, including the stunning Pillars of Creation and Stellar Spire.

The Eagle Nebula, also known as Messier 16 or M16, is one of the most amazing sights that can be seen in a large telescope. It's the location of several famous structures including the stunning Pillars of Creation, an active star-forming region of gas and dust, depicted in the image above. The Eagle Nebula contains not only the Pillars of Creation but several other star-forming regions as well. It also has many emission nebulae, or clouds in space that shine with their own light. And it has some dark nebulae, which don't shine themselves, but which can be seen because they obscure light from other sources.
The Eagle Nebula lies in the direction of the constellation Serpens the Serpent. It's about 7,000 light-years away, and it's visible in our sky at this time of year.
Take a look at the photos here, and delve deeper into this region of space, which is one of the most interesting and beautiful we know.

In the late 18th century, when this object began to be catalogued by astronomers – discovered by Jean-Philippe de Cheseaux in 1745-46 – only the star cluster could be seen, and it was designated as M16 in Messier's catalog of things not to be confused with comets. This star cluster later became known as the Snow Queen Nebula.
Later, the advent of astrophotography revealed a large area of glowing hydrogen gas that was invisible to the unaided eye. The nebula looked somewhat like an eagle with outstretched wings, giving rise to the current common name of Eagle Nebula.
As higher resolution photography and then digital photography began to reveal more and more features, particularly the dark patches (aka dark nebulae), many distinct features within the Eagle Nebula were given individual names. Today, the informal name of the Eagle Nebula is taken as referring to all of these in one collective designation.
Some of them are famous, and all are beautiful.
The Eagle Nebula suddenly burst upon the world's collective consciousness in 1995, when the Hubble focused its attention on a dark nebula in the center of the Eagle, which you can see in the (updated) photo at the top of this post.

The mesmerizing dark protrusions of dense gas were found to be the site of the formation of new stars and solar systems. The photograph became known as the Pillars of Creation and gave most people their first view of newly born stars and solar systems at the dawn of their creation. The Pillars of Creation are immense, about four to five light-years tall. The Eagle Nebula itself spans about 70 by 55 light-years.
Similar areas, such as the Stellar Spire on the left side of the Eagle, are also forming new stars through a combination of processes. The cold, mostly hydrogen gas of the nebula has already fueled the formation of a series of young, hot stars. As the gas continues to collapse under its own gravity into the dark forms we see, new stars and solar systems are formed and continue to grow as they attract more and more gas to them. However, the intense light pressure from the new stars that have formed and their solar winds are eroding away the dense, cold gas pockets, diminishing new star formation and dispersing the nebulae.
At the same time however, the shock waves, where the light and solar wind impact the cold gas, heat and compress some of the cold gases at the same time, resulting in a new set of star forming environments.

As EarthSky writer Martin MacPhee recounted some years ago:
I am very pleased I can see these structures in my 'scope, which is only 8″ in diameter, especially given that they are located around 7,000 light-years away, and the Stellar Spire is roughly 9.5 light-years (~ 9 trillion kilometers) tall – about twice the diameter of our solar system. In seeing them from my driveway in the heavily light-polluted Maryland suburbs of Washington, D.C., I'm doing very well. And for approximately $10,000,000,000 less than the Hubble telescope cost, which makes my wife very happy too!
And there's more. In 2015, some scientists suggested that the Pillars and Spire were likely already gone, victims of a massive shock wave from a supernova explosion that happened 6,000 years ago and destroyed them. The idea was that its light had already gone past us, but the slower-moving shock waves would have taken thousands of years more to sweep through the Eagle Nebula, destroying the delicate structures we find so entrancing.
Then, in 2018, that view changed again. Another update suggested the former data suggesting destruction were in error. Instead, it seems, these structures – the Pillars and Spire – likely will remain for hundreds of thousands of years more before slowly evaporating away.
Bottom line: The Eagle Nebula, or M16, is home to at least two famous and awe-inspiring cosmic structures: the Pillars of Creation and the Stellar Spire.

Baldur's Gate not coming to Wii U, says Beamdog: We don't do Nintendo
By Tom Goulter published 18 April 12
Studio founder reveals axe to grind: "Wii is a toy, not a console"
Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition won't be coming to Wii U, says Trent Oster, founder of distributor Beamdog. Which is regrettable, but hardly show-stopping news. Only Oster's not done: the Bioware veteran took the opportunity to clarify his company's stance toward Nintendo, explaining why Beamdog has no further plans to work with the Japanese giant anytime soon.
Beamdog and subsidiary Overhaul Games, which is in charge of the Baldur's port, previously worked on a WiiWare conversion of MDK2, which Oster says was enough to swear off working with the company in future. He cites the company's high sales threshold and tight developer restrictions: "6000 unit sales before payment, a 9 month certification process and a 40mb [game data] limit." He says this experience gave him the "belief that Nintendo isn't a good platform for developers."
"The Wii is a toy, not a console," tweeted Oster (via Eurogamer): "you buy a Wii, Wii sports and never buy another game. Bad for devs... we made a great version of a fun game, MDK2 for Wii, and it didn't sell anywhere near our expectations."
Of course, charges of Nintendo's strict control over third-party devs are hardly new – and Oster allows that the company's own efforts, such as Ocarina of time and Mario 64, "blew me away on N64." However, he says that the company's now focused on "110% Baldur's Gate Enhanced Edition for the visible future" – and if Wii U owners want in, they'll have to pick up a real console like the iPad.

Search - A Daughter's Love: Thomas More and His Dearest Meg
A Daughter's Love Thomas More and His Dearest Meg
Author: John Guy
With the novelistic vividness that made his National Book Critics Circle Award finalist Queen of Scots "a pure pleasure to read" (Washington Post BookWorld), John Guy brings to life Thomas More and his daughter Margaret his confidante and collaborator who played a critical role in safeguarding his legacy. — Sir Thomas More's life is... more » well known: his opposition to Henry VIII's marriage to Anne Boleyn, his arrest for treason, his execution and martyrdom. Yet Margaret has been largely airbrushed out of the story in which she played so important a role. John Guy restores her to her rightful place in this captivating account of their relationship.
Always her father's favorite child, Margaret was such an accomplished scholar by age eighteen that her work earned praise from Erasmus. She remained devoted to her father after her marriage?and paid the price in estrangement from her husband. When More was thrown into the Tower of London, Margaret collaborated with him on his most famous letters from prison, smuggled them out at great personal risk, even rescued his head after his execution. John Guy returns to original sources that have been ignored by generations of historians to create a dramatic new portrait of both Thomas More and the daughter whose devotion secured his place in history. « less

Samantha Shay, creative director and founder of the theater collective known as Source Material has returned to the City of Angles after 5 years in Europe to premiere her take on Shakespeare's play King Lear.
Shay spoke on experimenting as a director, "In directing King Lear, I wonder what the link is between past and future. Every revered artist, like Shakespeare, was traversing an unprecedented territory, and as a director, I want to challenge assumptions about a play: what it means to stage it vs. adapting it, and do it in front of an audience"
In staging such a classical play, Source Material seeks to reintroduce a productive dialogue in regard to inclusivity and diversity displayed in the inner workings of American theater. Source Material seeks viewers that will surrender their thoughts and minds to the experimental play, see below for our interview with the director.
Your work has been an amalgamation of various artistic practices that all converge into a theatrical, what can we expect to see in your take on the classic?
Its not for me to tell other people what they will experience, that is where I make space for the audience to complete my work. The completion of my work lives in how and what the audience experiences. I am not there to tell them how to feel, but to give them space to feel something.
I like to make work that is interdisciplinary, but not for the sake of it, more so self expression by any means necessary. I was interested in regarding everything onstage as a tool of telling the story, and that anything onstage could become the central storyteller. Often when we see theatre, we see the text, and the psychological life of the play, played by the actors as the center. In this piece, anything and everything can be activated as a tool of storytelling: it could be a sound, image, gesture, rhythm, or even silence. I wanted to discover how I could dramaturgically represent a classical play through regarding all tools of expression.
Why did you decide this was the right time to get into directing your own play and why did you choose King Lear?
As a classically trained theatre artist who is also interested in performance art and for lack of a better term "experimental theatre", I made a dangerous assumption that I didn't fit in, and kind of ran away from the theatre community in the states. I got quite lonely, and realised I was undercutting myself by doing that. I was, in my behaviour, sending myself the message that I didn't belong. In the same moment I realised that, I recognised that I carry a deep desire to see more aesthetically diverse theatre in the US. So I decided to direct a classical play in the US, not call it an original work, or adaptation, and ask myself what it means to direct a play in 2019.
I chose King Lear originally out of a gut impulse. When I first heard this text I wept, and felt so much personal resonance. It at first was a play about family, and the tragedy of incomplete relationships, and how a lack of love in one's life is a catalyst for violence. It is about patriarchy, how that effects and oppresses all genders, and how we are conditioned, and have to constantly make the choice to become who we become. To me, it is about personal and systematic oppression. Its a true tragedy, and unbelievably timely. It has been powerful to explore, I don't think I've ever made a piece so heavy, so uncomfortable, I'm proud of the bravery we have worked from as a team.
What has the process been in shifting your focus into the directorial side of the play? What have you been taught in this process?
Its been really exciting. I have learned that structuring a piece can be an intuitive process, structure and form are not always something to resist. I have a strong relationship to my intuition and going into the unknown, but the certainty of a dramaturgical structure can really hold us. Even though my staging of the work is quite transgressive, I sought to mirror Shakespeare's five act structure. Walking that line between dangling over the void and letting the structure of a classical piece hold the work has been exciting. Finding that clarity has been fun and allowed for an adventurousness and agility I never imagined.
Is there something you picked up in directing that you never thought of?
The right collaborators are the ones who challenge me, encourage me to grow, and have space for me to do that. It isn't just about my vision, its also about allowing my initial ideas to be expanded and owned by a team. One of my actors even said to me that she realised she was playing me as a child, I couldn't believe it, it was so true. There is this feeling of not knowing where I end and another artist begins. I have a lot of actors in particular in this cast, who are incredible dramaturgs - they help me track the lines of storytelling, and show up with material and ideas that expand the horizons of the whole piece. We are constantly running towards a common goal, and not afraid to admit when we are confused, or don't have answers. We enjoy having the problems together. There is very little hesitation in our rehearsal room, there is a playfulness and ferocity I cherish, but also recognise that I welcomed that into the room, and consciously requested it. I encourage other directors to run their rehearsal rooms with this kind of clarity, kindness, rigor, and humility.
With your own take on this version of King Lear are you using classic dialog or how are you presenting Shakespeare's work completely in your own view?
We are using classical text, and there is also original text the actors wrote. All of the music is original, and plays a big role. We wanted to have the musicality of Shakespeare's verse reflected in the original music. We even have some physical gestures and beats in the music that reflect iambic pentameter!
How did you choose to take the focus on to the disfranchised characters around King Lear?
It wasn't a conscious choice, but I think the disenfranchised voices are the ones I identify with more on a personal level. So I gravitated toward that dramaturgical line. I was noticing how although I think Shakespeare wanted to tell a story about toxic masculinity, men still have the most airtime in the original 5 act structure of the play. However, when the women speak, their words are more impactful, and have greater consequence. What it takes a male character 3-5 scenes to say, a woman says in one monologue. Shakespeare's women, especially in the later plays, always are the truth tellers. I can tell Shakespeare learned to be a feminist through out his life. To start from The Taming of the Shrew to King Lear or Winters' Tale is to witness the awakening of a man, its so powerful to see in his writing.
I didn't want to stage a piece that was easily digestible, that is most certainly not what King Lear is to me. I wanted to be more ferocious about the truth of the violence I read in the play, and that meant letting the disenfranchised take the floor. Now, that doesn't mean the disenfranchised fix the story… you will have to come and see what happens!
What was it about the characters that you felt needed to be expressed? Will there be a prime focus on his daughters?
Yes, there is most certainly a prime focus on the daughters, Edmund, Edgar, and the Fool. I also added an additional character, a mother, who is never mentioned in the original play. I have wondered, as this play takes place in a pre-Christian world, and Goddesses are invoked constantly, if Mother Nature is a part of the cast. It bears mentioning as well that this play was written under the rule of King James, a tyrannical leader who ordered the burning of "witches" aka women, queer people, POC, and those practicing the indigenous shamanic practices of Europe during this time. I've wondered, is Shakespeare commenting on the times when women were burned for being medicine women? It sounds like a possible tangent, but in close reading, its odd that Lear invokes a Goddess probably worshipped by "witches" in order to curse his daughters womb. I mean, thats many layers of disturbing and mysoginist. So… I got interested, if Mother Nature is a character, how the storm is the primary event that transfigures Lear.
I was also curious to ask the question: What makes people violent? So there are scenes that travel back in time to the childhood of the daughters, and the audience will see their relationship with their mother. We had a lot of fun working with this idea, and I think it reveals a lot about what is in the text of the play, even though the material is our original devised scenes.
Is there a particular character that you feel you gave additional attention on presenting their narrative?
As I said, I created a mother character, which is a pretty big deal! But I also chose to have the same actor who plays Cordelia, play Edmund. At times the line between whether or not the actor is switching roles is confusing. I wanted to highlight the similarities between these two "banished children" - that a banished child could be the Cordelia, the virtuous good girl, or the villain (Edmund), and at any moment, choose to be that in the face of abuse. The role is played beautifully by Annelise Lawson.
Will this be a performance that is as physically driven as your past movement pieces?
Yes. Although this is the most text based work I've made.
How much does costuming take part in this interpretation? Would you say this is a postmodernist take on that point?
Costuming does play a big part, especially in the Cordelia/Edmund role. The costume designer is Angela Trivino. We have been having a lot of conversations about gender in this piece, its been exciting to explore archetypes and assumptions about gender.
I personally don't know if I could say my work is postmodernist - it is most certainly outside the box of what most people think Shakespeare is, but I am truthfully a lover of the classics, and made my choices out of a deep faith to Shakespeare's text, even if that means making a seemingly transgressive, contemporary, "post modern" choice. My idea of being faithful to a classic is to allow all that it stirs in me and my collaborators to live onstage, regardless of how its defined. Truthfully, most Shakespeare plays are not staged in alignment with how theatre was done in the Elizabethan world, the aesthetics used which are considered acceptable come from the last 150 years. So saying my staging is more "post modern" or experimental doesn't really work for me. My staging is just as faithful and true as anyone else's, it just might not be what people are comfortable with.
Maybe after I've finished the piece I'll understand its existence in a greater context. Right now, its from my heart. As I read this question, I decided to google the definition of "postmodernism" and there it says that it is a "distrust of grand theories" and I cannot answer if I am distrustful of grand theories. Grand theories are grand for a reason, one might say. I like to think of myself as a link in the chain of my artistic ancestors and descendants. Standing on the ground of those whom have come before, and making a link towards the future, and always working from a ferocious, and open heart. So there is a trust and a distrust of grand theories… perhaps its all about somantics!
Who else is collaborating on this project with you?
Nini Julia Bang (Denmark), Ditte Berkeley (Spain), Bob Wicks (Canada), Stephanie Regina (US), Annemarie Debruijn (Netherlands), Annelise Lawson (US), Paloma Estévez (Chile), Melanie Waingarten (Argentina), Christine Ferriter (US), Angela Triviño (Columbia), Áslaug Magnúsdóttir (Iceland), Jófríður Ákadóttir (Iceland), Paul Evans (Sweden), and Gini Benson (US/Japan).

The secret world of Maltese glassware
The processing of glass by blowing was discovered more than 2000 years ago, somewhere on the coast of the Eastern Mediterranean. It seems that the Phoenicians were the ones who, during an expedition, noticed that the mixture of sand and volcanic stone, melted under the heat of fire from the military camps, mixed together in a translucent and somewhat flexible material. They began experimenting with different combinations and proportions of ingredients, being the first in history to create this versatile and apparently ordinary material, without which we could not imagine our lives.
Everybody knows, at least from hearsay, the fineness of glassware made in Murano, Venice, the world center of this unique art, where glassware is almost as old as civilization itself. Even with a comparison that is so hard to achieve, glassware is a concern in other areas of the Mediterranean basin as well. Among these, the glass processing workshops in Malta are extremely appreciated by experts, even though it is a relatively new occupation on the island. Foreign tourists who come to the village, attracted by the reputation of the skilled craftsmen, are able to admire them at work. The recovered glass and the pigments are put together in a gas oven and melted at 1300 degrees. The fusion is then trapped by rotating motions at the end of a long tube, heated in the fire, a pipe in which the glassware then blows air, quickly giving form to complicated shapes, symmetrical or not, from the piece of molten glass. Then, using some special tools like scissors, they cut pieces from the object that is being formed, modelling it as they desire. As the piece of work cools down and becomes less flexible, it is introduced, also at the edge of the tube, into a second oven that reheats it, allowing the glass blower to continue his work, coloring and modelling amazingly. Finally, an air oven slowly brings the piece to room temperature (so that it does not break), in the process called overripening. The glass is processed in a team, so each object is a collective work of art. The first worker blows the molten tin removed from the oven, the second applies the color, the third covers the colored area with clear glass, while the fourth works on giving the product a shape, by using the right tool. The most difficult thing to do is to control the color, the color in glassware does not behave as when you mix water colors on a canvas, and the mixture of pigments must be done at an intermediate stage, otherwise the piece is missed.

===Station Areas===
The Federal Transit Administration's National Transit Database provided an initial list of stations, and information has since been updated using GTFS data. The database includes heavy rail, light rail, commuter rail, streetcars, and cable cars, along with dedicated right-of-way bus rapid transit and certain Amtrak lines frequently used by commuters. Proposed and planned stations are also included. Proposed stations include FTA New Starts in the Project Development phase and locally funded projects for which stations have been selected. Planned stations include New Starts in at least the Preliminary Engineering phase and locally funded projects that have entered construction.

===Station Geography===
The TOD Database displays geographic information at three different levels:
* '''Transit Zone''' - A transit zone is the half-mile radius around a station, representing the area around the station reasonably considered to be walkable. For more granular research, the zone can be narrowed to a quarter-mile radius.
* '''Transit Shed''' - A transit shed is a collection of stations. You can select stations individually or look at an entire line, system, or region. Existing and potential stations can be combined into a single shed. Transit zones often overlap within a shed, and when they do the database controls for that fact so that information is not double-counted.
* '''Transit Region''' - Transit regions are larger geographies determined by Census County boundaries.
==Applications==
===Transit Operators===
Because the database contains information for stations all across California (and beyond), transit operators can use it not just to compare stations without their system, but to benchmark their performance against agencies in other parts of the state. Station area profiles can be used to create station typologies and enhance site targeting. Operators can use mode to work data to help assess system efficiency.

* Los Angeles station typologies - In Los Angeles, CTOD worked with Caltrans and the Los Angeles County Metro to analyze the city's current and proposed rail stations. CTOD created a typology in which stations were sorted based on the number of residents and workers in the half mile radius around stations and mix of land uses. This typology was useful in measuring development along rail lines. The report found that the land around stations in LA is generally highly developed, but there is room for the city to provide increase active transportation infrastructure.<ref>[http://toddata.cnt.org/chapter9.php TOD Database.

7 Additional Reading
Created by the Center for Transit-Oriented Development (CTOD), the National TOD Database provides detailed population and employment data for every existing and proposed fixed guideway transit station in the United States (as of October 2011). The database organizes information into a simple map format and allows you to examine economic and demographic data at the levels of single transit zone, collection of transit zones, or larger transit region. This allows planners and other government officials to study the population at a particular station, compare stations, and see how demographics around stations have changed over time.
The TOD Database contains nearly 70,000 data characteristics from thousands of stations. It aggregates data from six sources:
US Decennial Census, 2000
American Community Survey, 2005-09 5 Year Estimates
Census Transportation Planning Package, 2000
Local Employment Dynamics, 2002- 2009
Housing + Transportation Affordability Index

Station Geography
Transit Zone - A transit zone is the half-mile radius around a station, representing the area around the station reasonably considered to be walkable. For more granular research, the zone can be narrowed to a quarter-mile radius.
Transit Shed - A transit shed is a collection of stations. You can select stations individually or look at an entire line, system, or region. Existing and potential stations can be combined into a single shed. Transit zones often overlap within a shed, and when they do the database controls for that fact so that information is not double-counted.
Transit Region - Transit regions are larger geographies determined by Census County boundaries.
Transportation planners can use the mode to work and Census Transportation Planning Package (CTPP) information included in the database to analyze travel trends across various demographics. This lets you update travel demand models and plan future routes. Planners can also identify underutilized areas in which to prioritize development. Data on car ownership and other factors can help influence Transportation Demand Management programs.

Global stocks edge higher as Trump acts to ease China trade tensions
Stocks had fallen sharply in Asia before Trump spoke as investors panicked that the latest tit-for-tat tariffs would damage global growth. On Friday, Trump announced an additional duty on some $550 billion of targeted Chinese goods, hours after China unveiled retaliatory tariffs on $75 billion worth of U.S. goods. The MSCI world equity index, which tracks shares in 47 countries, remained 0.31% lower by 1000 GMT.
European equity markets had looked set to follow their Asian counterparts deep into the red but recovered when U.S. President said China had contacted Washington overnight to say it wanted to return to the negotiating table. Beijing called for calm.
European stock markets struggled to bounce to the same degree, with the pan-European Eurostoxx down marginally on the day. Germany's DAX rose 0.29% while France's managed a 0.48% rise. London's markets were closed for a holiday. The 10-year bond in Germany rose 2 basis points to -0.657%.
On Monday stock markets clawed themselves off their lows, but sentiment remained fragile after the latest flare-up in the U.S.-China trade war sent investors scrambling into government bonds and battered emerging market currencies.
Speaking on the sidelines of a summit of major industrialized nations in France, Trump hailed Chinese President Xi Jinping as a great leader and said he welcomed his desire for a trade deal and for calm - soothing investors' nerves after a round of more tariffs were abruptly announced on Friday. Wall Street futures turned positive and were last up 0.5%.

Game Theory studies strategic interactions - how players behave, or might behave, in interactive situations in which selected strategies (actions/choices/decisions) impact each player's own payoffs /consequences as well as the payoffs of other players (who are also selecting strategies).
We will cover the basic analysis of simultaneous-move and sequential-move games, and then focus extensively on applications in Economics, in a variety of areas including imperfect competition, merger analysis, bargaining, signaling, mechanism design, voting and public choice, principal-agent problems, auction design, bidding strategy, and so forth.
In-class games: We will play about 20 games in class over the course of the semester. These well-known games are designed to illustrate various concepts, and to provide you with a better understanding of how to work through the strategic dimensions of different game theoretic challenges. Prizes, of differing quality, are awarded to provide incentive.
The Prisoners' Dilemma Challenge: We will also be running a repeated play Prisoners' Dilemma challenge, perhaps the most famous repeated play game in Game Theory. This challenge will last for about five weeks, and will feature teams of students in competition with one another. Details to follow.
The insights that emerge from these games and this Challenge are fair game for the exams.
Prerequisites: Intermediate microeconomics (EC 201 or 203). No exceptions. I also assume that you are familiar with basic calculus, and in particular, elementary simple and partial differentiation (which will be used extensively in solving optimization problems and deriving equilibrium strategies).

New Delhi: Four people were arrested today in connection with the alleged Rs 12,600 crore fraud at Punjab National Bank perpetrated by billionaire jewellers Nirav Modi and his uncle Mehul Choksi, CBI officials said.
The probe agency has arrested two employees and an auditor of the Nirav Modi group of companies, while a director of the Gitanjali group of companies owned by Mr Choksi has also been taken into custody, they said.
Manish K Bosamiya, the then AGM (operations) of Firestarter International Ltd owned by Nirav Modi, and then Finance Manager Miten Anil Pandya were arrested for their alleged role in preparing applications for fraudulent Letters of Undertakings (LoUs) submitted to Punjab National Bank, the officials said.
Auditor Sanjay Rambhia, partner in the chartered accountancy firm Sampat and Mehta, Mumbai, has also been arrested in connection with the ongoing investigation, the officials said.
The CBI has arrested the then Director of Mehul Choksi's company Gili India, Aniyath Shiv Raman Nair, in connection with the case.
It was alleged that besides being one of the directors of the Gitanjali group of companies, he was the authorised signatory for the applications submitted to PNB for issuance of purported LOUs and Foreign Letters of Credit (FLCs), they said.
It is alleged that Mr Choksi and Mr Modi got LoUs and FLCs of Rs 12,600 crore in favour of foreign branches of Indian banks based on fraudulent claims.
The accused officials of PNB did not enter the instructions for these LoUs and FLCs in their internal software to avoid scrutiny.
They were sent through an international messaging system for banking called SWIFT, which is used to pass instructions among banks globally to transfer funds.
An LoU is a guarantee given by an issuing bank to Indian banks having branches abroad to grant a short-term credit to the applicant.
In case of default, the bank issuing the LoU has to pay the liability to the credit giving bank along with accruing interest.
The PNB officials allegedly sent these messages to Indian banks -- Canara Bank, State Bank of India, Bank of India, Axis Bank and Allahabad bank -- located in Antwerp, Hong Kong, Bahrain, Mauritius and Frankfurt without making entries in the banking software about the LoUs.
Upon receiving the messages from PNB under SWIFT, the banks abroad transferred these amounts into the Nostro account of PNB with them.
Nostro account is an account that a bank holds in a foreign currency in another bank to enable foreign trade by its clients.


Nothing is impossible. Just ask the researchers who managed to quantify all of the starlight ever produced throughout the history of the observable universe.
Clemson University scientists analyzed data from NASA's Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope to determine the history of star formation over most of the universe's lifetime.
Our universe began forming the first stars after only a few hundred million years.
Now some 13.7 billion years old, it boasts two trillion galaxies and a trillion-trillion stars—all of which Clemson College of Science astrophysicist Marco Ajello and his team measure.
Putting a number on the amount of starlight ever produced is like trying to sneeze with your eyes open—it's difficult, a bit painful, and not recommended.
That didn't stop the Clemson researchers, though.
According to their new measurement, the volume of photons (particles of visible light) that escaped into space after being emitted by stars translates to 4×10^84.
Which, in layman's terms, equals 4,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000, 000,000,000,000,000,000,000, 000,000,000,000,000,000,000 photons.
Despite that mind-blowingly colossal number, much of the starlight actually reaching Earth (from sources outside our galaxy) is "exceedingly dim," according to the University. Think of it like a 60-watt light bulb, viewed in complete darkness—from about 2.5 miles away.
The Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope (FGST) launched into low Earth orbit more than a decade ago.
Ajello and postdoc fellow Vaidehi Paliya analyzed nearly nine years of its data concerning gamma-ray signals from 739 blazars—galaxies containing supermassive black holes able to release jets of energetic particles that streak across the cosmos at nearly the speed of light.
The results and ramifications of the new measurement process are detailed in a paper published last week by the journal Science.

Congress Poised for Leap to Open Up Legislative Data
Following bills in Congress requires three major pieces of information: the text of the bill, a summary of what the bill is about, and the status information associated with the bill. For the last few years, Congress has been publishing the text and summaries for all legislation moving in Congress, but has not published bill status information. This key information is necessary to identify the bill author, where the bill is in the legislative process, who introduced the legislation, and so on.
While it has been in the works for a while, this week Congress confirmed it will make "Bill Statuses in XML format available through the GPO's Federal Digital System (FDsys) Bulk Data repository starting with the 113th Congress," (i.e. January 2013). In "early 2016," bill status information will be published online in bulk– here. This should mean that people who wish to use the legislative information published on Congress.gov and THOMAS will no longer need to scrape those websites for current legislative information, but instead should be able to access it automatically.
Congress isn't just going to pull the plug without notice, however. Through the good offices of the Bulk Data Task Force, Congress will hold a public meeting with power users of legislative information to review how this will work. Eight sample bill status XML files and draft XML User Guides were published on GPO's GitHub page this past Monday. Based on past positive experiences with the Task Force, the meeting is a tremendous opportunity for public feedback to make sure the XML files serve their intended purposes. It will take place next Tuesday, Dec. 15, from 1-2:30. RSVP details below.
If all goes as planned, this milestone has great significance.
It marks the publication of essential legislative information in a format that supports unlimited public reuse, analysis, and republication. It will be possible to see much of a bill's life cycle.
It illustrates the positive relationship that has grown between Congress and the public on access to legislative information, where there is growing open dialog and conversation about how to best meet our collective needs.
It is an example of how different components within the legislative branch are engaging with one another on a range of data-related issues, sometimes for the first time ever, under the aegis of the Bulk Data Task Force.
It means the Library of Congress and GPO will no longer be tied to the antiquated THOMAS website and can focus on more rapid technological advancement.
It shows how a diverse community of outside organizations and interests came together and built a community to work with Congress for the common good.
To be sure, this is not the end of the story. There is much that Congress needs to do to address its antiquated technological infrastructure. But considering where things were a decade ago, the bulk publication of information about legislation is a real achievement, the culmination of a process that overcame high political barriers and significant inertia to support better public engagement with democracy and smarter congressional processes.
Much credit is due in particular to leadership in both parties in the House who have partnered together to push for public access to legislative information, as well as the staff who worked tireless to make it happen.
Here's the public notice.
Status in Bulk:
At the direction of the U.S. House of Representatives Appropriations Committee, in support of the Legislative Branch Bulk Data Task Force, the Government Publishing (GPO), the Library of Congress (LOC), the Clerk of the House, and the Secretary of the Senate are planning to make Bill Statuses in XML format available through the GPO's Federal Digital System (FDsys) Bulk Data repository starting with the 113th Congress. At launch in early 2016, the FDsys Bulk Data repository for Bill Status information will be available at http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/bulkdata/BILLSTATUS.
UPCOMING PUBLIC MEETING: Tuesday, December 15
There will be a technical meeting to review sample Bill Status XML files and the draft XML User Guide on Tuesday, December 15, 2015 from 1:00-2:30 pm in Washington, DC. For more information or to RSVP, please contact the Office of the Clerk at 202-225-7000. On Monday, December 7th, in preparation for the meeting, eight sample Bill Status XML files and the draft XML User Guide will be made available on GPO's GitHub page at https://github.com/usgpo. The sample XML files cover a broad variety of legislative activities and represent each bill type from the House of Representatives and the Senate (e.g. bill, joint resolution, concurrent resolution, simple resolution).

Bears Deny Placing Snow, Fog Machines On Dolphin Stadium Sidelines
MIAMI—The owners, coaching staff, and equipment managers of the Chicago Bears continue to vehemently deny ownership of the 12 commercial-grade snowmaking machines and six fog generators that somehow appeared on the sidelines of Dolphin Stadium late Tuesday. "I have never seen these machines before, nor has the Chicago Bears organization ever needed to use such things in the course of football operations, as our home stadium is usually well-supplied with both snow and fog," barely discernible Bears head coach Lovie Smith said while standing hip-deep in a snowdrift during his Wednesday-night press conference. "The point is they're here now and we'll just have to learn to live with it—football players, journalists, and prissy indoor-team members alike." Coach Smith went on to say that he would file a formal protest with the league to remove the domed roof that mysteriously appeared on the top of Dolphin Stadium Wednesday morning.

The Conversation: "I Self-Published Myself and You're Jealous!"
Read more by Laura Zigman
Hi She Writes Community!
I'm thrilled to be posting one of my "Conversation" movies -- part of a series of almost 20 annoying conversations using this really fun (and free!) software, Xtranormal.com. I started making these short movies as a way to warm up for starting another novel (for those of you who weren't' born yet, my first novel, Animal Husbandry, was published in 1998 and later made into the movie, "Someone Like You" in 2001: three more of my novels came later: Dating Big Bird, Her, and Piece of Work). Soon I forgot all about starting a new novel and instead became obsessed with the immediacy of this funny-movie-making medium and how it's all about THE DIALOGUE -- both literally and figuratively. I've been posting them on my own personal "Brant" (Brag + Rant = "Brant") at www.laurazigman.wordpress.com for the past month (and on Facebook and Twitter), and last week Entertainment Weekly's "Shelf Life Column" featured one of them! If you like this "Conversation" I hope you'll visit my site or go to my YouTube Channel and continue to visit my She Writes blog since I'll be posting a movie here every week. Stop by and say hello so we can start having our own (Frenemy-less) conversations! And why not try making your own Xtranormal.com video?

Hi, I really enjoy your clips.
Hey Regina, Thanks for trying to give me the points but don't worry -- I usually use the free characters and backgrounds anyway! But good for you for making your own -- and I would agree 100% that it's a useful tool for writing -- because, uhm, before I started making (writing) little movies every few days, I wasn't writing much. Hoping it's the spark that gets a big flame going, for you too!
Regina Y. Swint
@Laura...I signed up and created an account with Xtranormal.com, but couldn't find the place on the site where it asked who referred me, so that you could get your 100 XP points. :( I made a silly video for my sister, niece and nephew. It was kinda easy, which says a lot coming from someone very techno-challenged like me. Thanks for sending me there! Maybe it'll be a useful tool for my writing/publishing efforts, too. Here's hoping. :)
Thanks so much, Cassie! Always interesting to hear how others are understanding (or not understanding) (or semi-understanding) the new publishing options. Thanks for sharing this on Facebook, and thanks for liking my other video -- SheWrites is going to feature one every Wednesday so maybe they should feature that one next?
Cassie Tuttle
Love this episode, Laura. I'm a freelance copyeditor, and a lot of my friends ask me about how to get published. I tell them that it's not as "simple" and clear-cut as it used to be. And self-publishing is one of the areas I tell them about.
I plan to share this video on Facebook.
P.S. I also really loved "You're Making the Face and Doing that Thing."
Good luck, Starla!
Ha! You found that one, Susanne? It was fun to do. Maybe I'll post that one here next week!

You're right, Laura. As Nora Ephron says, "everything is copy." But still. I'm staring down the barrel of those book clubs in a few short months.
I used to think I was the only one this had happened to but then I started to hear similar stories. You're always SO grateful to be invited that you don't even think of the possibility of them hating the book! It's actually funny. GREAT MATERIAL FOR FUTURE NOVEL!
[email protected]! It is a pretty scary thought that book clubs would be lying in wait for unsuspecting authors to show up so that they can pounce on you in person about their dissatisfaction with your work. Kinda gives it a whole Misery-esque tinge, doesn't it?
HAAA @Sarah!
Oh my God, Laura. Your book group experience has freaked me out. I'm going to go breathe out of a paper bag now.
@Laura...Ha! That's funny and kinda sad, too. Not sure why they didn't just cancel the meeting if they were just going to beat you over the head all night. Their reactions/behavior only supports my theory more. Her was hardly mean, but I guess it's a matter of one's perspective at the time. Granted, your main character was decidedly neurotic, but I liked her because she was believable. My guess is that that's why so many others didn't like her...too believable, and too close to home.
But no matter, right? It's all a great compliment in the end, what I like to call a testament to your skill at drawing credible characters.
My first book is about a woman who has an affair with a married man, who also happens to be the husband of a friend. Most of the reviews have been kind (although most reviews have been from family and friends), but one book club reviewer wrote an entire page about how unlikeable the main character was ("desperate woman" to be exact), only to say near the bottom of the review that it was an "overall good story," and finish with "I would recommend this book to others." Ummm...not quite the eye-catching blurb I was hoping for, but eh.
I went on to convince myself that she didn't seem to have any problems with the writing itself, but only the subject matter. So I "read" a compliment between the lines of her disapproval. Whether or not she meant to compliment me is completely inconsequential.
And to be fair, I've found myself quite unhappy with stories and books because the characters were jerks or otherwise unwholesome, or the stories didn't end to my liking. I'd much rather have readers slam my characters than my writing. As long as they read, I'm happy...even with the not-so-nice reviews.
@Starla...I say congratulations, too! What's the name of your novel? Please do post your link or direct me to your blog or where I can find it and check it out. I worked on my book (which started as a short story project for a writing class) for years, and peddled it around with no success at finding an agent or publisher. I finally, after much research and encouragement from other writers (some self-published authors), decided to stop waiting on someone else to validate my work as good enough to publish. I POD published it last year, and I'm currently working on some revisions to release it as a 2nd edition in early 2012. For me, the publication was a little rushed, because I wanted to publish it by a certain date, and then have a launch party before I deployed. Although the story was pretty well done, I could have spent more time polishing the final product, i.e., following more of my editor's advice before going to press. Like you, I'm still learning so much about being an author and soon-to-be publisher, but so far, it's a fun ride. This process is all a life-long dream, so it's nice to see it coming true a little bit at a time. Self-publishing is quite a ride, isn't it? I love to hear how some of the established traditionally published authors are actually interested in how us indie-published authors make it happen. It's an encouraging sign that the gap is closing a little bit more. Yaay!
I love your story! As a "published" writer with 4 books under my belt, I'd had a certain take on self-publishing. Then a few weeks ago at a shiva, I met a guy who was self-publishing his own novel. He'd put together and handpicked a kind of "team" -- he'd hired an editor, and a really good designer for the jacket -- and he really sounded like he knew what he was doing -- and suddenly my perspective changed and I realized how different the publishing world is: "published" writers like me are now asking "unpublished" writers like him HOW THEY DO IT! It was fascinating to me because I realized: "Hey, maybe I SHOULD do that, too!" Best of luck with your novel! Post the link here so we can TRULY CONGRATULATE you!
Thanks again @Regina! I was so mystified after it came out because I meant it to be funny and a lot of people thought it was mean. Mean!? I was shocked (and then I felt bad). I was once invited to a book group -- you know, one of those "Let's invite the local author to our book club and ask her questions about herself and her book" nights. And they read "Her." (They'd had me first for Animal Husbandry so there was a good history there.) The minute I walked in NO ONE WOULD LOOK AT ME. Three people didn't show up ('they're sick,' the hostess stammered). The other four women glared at me until it was finally time to sit down in the living room. They ALL HATED IT and went on and on and ON about HOW MUCH THEY HATED IT and HOW MAD THEY WERE because they'd WASTED TIME READING A BOOK THEY HATED. I was totally and utterly shocked: I could understand that they hated it but WHY DIDN'T THEY CANCEL THE "EVENT???" (also, Why didn't I just leave?)
@Laura...Hahahahaha! Small world, indeed. And oh my goodness. It's such a good read. If people hate it all, it's most likely because they can relate too much to it, but don't want to admit it. That's what I like to think of as the best kind of writing. Kudos and Likes and all else that represents applause in social networking circles. :)
Thanks so much, @Regina! Didn't know I was on a site with a person who'd actually read (and finished) (and didn't hate) HER!


Holy CRAP! This drive screems! I just burned a 650meg CD in like 1:30!
The blue light is cool too!
Much better than the iomega ZipCD USB 4x4x6x!
My 32x "home made" (snap in a cheap IDE CD-RW into a firewire case. Only takes 5 minuts and I save $120) burns a complete CD in 2:30. Not too shabby.


I've dated some older and some younger women in my time and I've noticed even after women age into a comfortable part in their life they revert to acting like a spoiled brat at the mall. I've compared my 12 year old daughter's behavior to that of a woman who is 30 years older than her! They both pant and whine it drives me crazy. Ignorance is not that bliss.
so true! My little sister acts like that and it drives me nuts. Luckily I haven't found the same behavior in men. They dont act out as much.

what a way to start the week.
fine that was that. i reached my workplace and decided to buy breakfast at the food court nearby. i took nasi lemak with fried egg and proceeded to pay at the counter. a guy beside me took the exact same thing as me. we stood there for like five minutes like dungu waiting for either the boss or worker to come collect our money. can u imagine it's like we're begging them to take our money. i tell u people these days....i dont know what to say. ok fine. the worker came and she collected from the guy first. came my turn, she opened my box and charged me 2.50. i was like "itu orang punya pun sama dengan saya kenapa saya you charge lebih?" she replied "oh..nasi dia sikit." -_- she didnt even open the box how sure was she that his took little and i'm quite sure i saw the guy took almost the same quantity as me. i think i paid almost 1.50 more than that guy. i mean it's not like i can't pay 2.50 but only if it's the same for others as well la and this is the second time this lady overcharged me. ugh...dah la made me wait then overcharge me some more. i'm never going back there again.


Simple, effortless & chic. Upped my denim game with this super soft and flirty Withchic ruffle denim dress. Ripped jeans add just the right amount of scruff to this otherwise feminine piece. I'm also looking forward to wearing it with skinny jeans and block heel sandals.


Lockheed Martin recently unveiled an LTE-over-Satellite system with the goal of providing connectivity to remote regions, including those without cell phone coverage. This could include offshore marine vessels or regions affected by natural disasters. The enhanced connectivity could also be leveraged by offshore fisherman working far from cell towers, remote mining operations, scientific and research stations, and even agricultural businesses.
"So, it's important to have new ways to connect families and first responders with people who would be otherwise cut off from contact," she states. Previously, during emergencies that knock out cellular networks, specialized satellite phones were the only option for mobile connectivity, but Lockheed's LTE-over-Satellite solution complements satellite phones by providing a stronger connection with existing phones.
The LTE platform also allows hotspots to be mounted to any vehicle or boat. So, with a vehicular-mounted device, LTE-over-Satellite connectivity ensures that location data, shipment information, and direct voice communication remain available for everyone — from first responders to parents.


Monochrome color scheme always works. You can find pheasant feathers online.
This is a perennial favorite. Runner in the middle and pile pumpkins in the middle, mix some candles in and antlers. Btw, pet stores sell antlers, you'd just have to spray paint them if you want white or gold.
This couldn't be easier, just add a garland down in the middle, pop some votives around it and you're done! Oranges, tangerines or pomegranates or even apples and pears would be great dotted on the garland.
And last but not least, some ideas for kiddie tables. I've used brown craft paper and taped it to the table and added some crayons for kids to color also. Meaningful Mama has a great idea to have kids write down what they are thankful for.
Best sales picks of the week!

The Walking Dead season 9 : who are the Whisperers the new villains of the series ?
Posted on : April 16, 2019 By admin
Who are the Chucoteurs, the fearsome new villains to the series "The Walking Dead" ? Here's everything you need to know about this community without faith nor law who will be soon enough to forget the Saviors of Negan… AMC Their name alone is enough to generate awe : the Whisperers finally arrive in The Walking Dead, and now nothing will be as before in the series horror. The expected, hoped-for but also feared by fans of the series, these new villains should oppose the hero of the series to be a challenge as they have never known in the past, not even in the face of the Governor or the Saviors of Negan. But who are these strange characters dressed in gruesome mask made of human skin ? The Whisperers, or Whisperers in the original version, appeared in the volume 22 of the comic-book, several years after the war against Negan and the defeat of the leader of the Saviors. While the different communities live harmoniously together under the direction of Rick and the pacific (which has saved Negan and the custody of prisoner), two soldiers cross the road of the dead that whisper, actually a community hidden among the zombies, and the members of which covered with skins human-they look terrifying. The Walking Dead season 9 : the chuchoteuse Alpha passes to action in a new trailer Led by a woman, Alpha (Samantha Morton), and a colossus baptized Beta (Ryan Hurst), the Whisperers lead a lifestyle prehistoric, primitive, violent, and without emotion, and see in the book of revelation-zombie an opportunity for the Man to return to his state of the animal, where only the strongest survive. Hidden within the hordes of Walkers, they communicate in whispers, use of weapons (blades, guns and other tools) and are able to lead the dead by taking advantage of their "overreaction". In summary, a group countless and relentless, who in the comic book, will launch in a territory war against Rick and his people. Of course, it is not certain that the series follows to the letter the plot of the comics, all the more that Rick Grimes has left the show (permanently ?) during the first part of the current season, leaving the vacant place of the leader to his companion, Michonne. But the final scene of the final mid-season, which saw the part of the hero surrounded by a gang of Whisperers, suggests that the character terrifying of these sinister characters will then be preserved as is. And who knows if after Jesus, other protagonists shall not perish under the blows of these gross thick ? The second part of season 9 of The Walking Dead is to follow US+24 on OCS Shock as of Monday 11 February.

The absorption, emission and excitation spectra of ZnPc and H2Pc trapped in Ne, N2, Ar, Kr and Xe matrices have been recorded in the region of the Q states. A comparison of the matrix fluorescence spectra with Raman spectra recorded in KBr pellets reveals very strong similarities. This is entirely consistent with the selection rules and points to the occurrence of only fundamental vibrational transitions in the emission spectra. Based on this behaviour, the vibronic modes in emission have been assigned using results obtained recently on the ground state with large basis-set DFT calculations [Murray et al. PCCP, 12, 10406 (2010)]. Furthermore, the very strong mirror symmetry between excitation and emission has allowed these assignments to be extended to the excitation (absorption) bands. While this approach works well for ZnPc, coupling between the band origin of the S2(QY) state and vibrationally excited levels of S1(QX), limits the range of its application in H2Pc. The QX/QY state coupling is analysed from data obtained from site-selective excitation spectra, revealing pronounced matrix and site effects. From this analysis, the splitting of the QX and QY states has been determined more accurately than in any previous attempts.
