DCCC's Halloween Event Marks 20 Years
Lance Ziesch
Dodge City Community College
Saturday, Oct. 31, marks 20 years of Trick-or-Treat in the Halls at Dodge City Community College.
However, because of COVID-19 concerns this year, the college has moved the popular event from the residence halls to the south parking lot between the Fine Arts and Cosmetology/Child Development Center (CDC) buildings.
"This year we are planning to ensure the health and safety of our community," Margarita Morales, DCCC Director of Residence Life, said. "We intend to maintain proper CDC [Centers for Disease Control and Prevention] guidelines and social distancing throughout the event."
Because Trick-or-Treat in the Halls will be in the parking lot this year, DCCC students will have slightly different roles than in the past, Morales said.
Some will help with crowd control, some will direct traffic, some will assist with social distancing, and some will give out candy to the children.
And instead of having people congregate at Jackson Hall, this year the college is asking people to drive through the main campus entrance and go directly to the parking lot, were they can sign in and let volunteers know how many children they have in their vehicles.
After visitors sign in, they can drive over to a tent that will be stocked with candy, she said.
To limit contact and congestion, volunteers will then take the candy to the cars.
"We will pass out pre-packaged candy bags on trays to each car," she said. "We will have all volunteers wearing masks and gloves, if they will be handling items touched by others."
On the opposite end of the parking lot, Morales said they will be placing Halloween inflatables, which will allow people to park, to get out and to take pictures.
"As they are taking pictures, we will have markers and staff to assist with proper social distancing," she said.
More than 1,000 kids attended last year, Morales said.
So, if there should be inclement weather this year, the college will need to cancel the event because Residence Life does not have enough indoor space to ensure proper safety and social distancing for a crowd of that size.
"We would love to return the event to the residence halls once we can properly ensure everyone's safety, as our students greatly enjoy opening their doors to a community that has been very welcoming and supporting of them," she said.
DCCC residence hall director Brandon Venson said, "We look forward to seeing all our students give back to the community and enjoy a fun evening. Our students like this event because it helps them connect and get a sense of family they are sometimes missing when they move to college."
The Trick-or-Treat in the Halls event begins at 6 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 31, in the south parking lot, and like in years past, all children in Kindergarten to 5th grades are welcome, Morales said. And also like in previous years, admission is one canned food item per child.
"A few years ago we were taking the canned-food items to the Friendship Feast, but since some of the items were mismatched they were unable to use everything," she said. "As we were looking at places to take the rest of the food, it was proposed that we reach out to the Kansas Soldiers' Home.
"We contacted them, and they were overjoyed to receive this donation.
"We are now on the third year of taking the donated items to the Soldiers' Home and feel very fortunate to be able to give back to a group that has given so much to us."
DCCC residence life office manager Tracy Shaw said, "The reason I love participating in the annual trick-or-treat event at DCCC is to see the excitement of the kids waiting in line to get into Jackson Hall to trick-or-treat and show off their costumes—and then the joy of watching them leave with a bag full of candy and huge smiles on their faces.
"This event is looked forward to every year by the community, and the donations from the canned-food drive helps our military veterans."

The inadequacy of infrastructure for bringing mobile healthcare apps from developers to clinical practitioners has kept the 165,000+ currently available healthcare apps from integration into routine clinical practice. The absence of regulatory and certification processes and the unlikelihood that many apps will be tested with credible clinical trials leaves it up to expert reviews to lead clinicians to high-quality apps. However, most app reviews are not collected in an easily searchable location that facilitates comparison of the merits of alternative apps, and surveys of existing expert reviews reveal a lack of standards for objective and reliable assessments. Furthermore, most published recommendations for apps are not based on their validity or appropriateness for clinical use.This article describes development of the Interactive Mobile App Review Toolkit (IMART), a technology-assisted system for producing verifiable app reviews intended for clinicians and its accompanying evidence-based thesaurus of standards. IMART will present systematized reviews in a searchable, curated library where clinicians can find and compare reviews about apps that are tagged as to the treatment needs of clients/patients and that address how the apps could be integrated into the visitor's clinical practice.The assessment criteria in the "Digital Health Standards Thesaurus" can be used in reviewing apps and other digital health products, in developing apps, in making decisions about investing venture capital or foundation funds into concepts for new digital health products, and in selecting such products into the "formularies" of third party payers.

Horses face the same fate as donkeys: they are often a farmers' only income. Many race horses that can no longer race are sold to farmers who put them to use pulling carts; others are sold to hansom cab owners.
As with donkeys, ill-fitting equipment that leads to untreated wounds and lacerations, sometimes for months, brutal beatings and endless working hours in grueling conditions leave horses worse for ware.
Horses play an important part in Egypt's tourism: one can go for a horse ride in the Pyramids; for a hansom cab ride around parts of the city; Bedouin nights feature dancing horses at the Pyramids.
Though some establishments treat their horses relatively well, more often than not these animals are mal-nourished, ill-treated and are neither offered proper veterinary care nor proper resting hours.
Often, pregnant mares are forced to work long and harsh hours in harsh weather conditions. Horses are whipped harshly into submission.

"Ocean Eyes" is the second single by American singer Billie Eilish and is part of her debut EP, Don't Smile at Me, and the soundtrack album to the film Everything, Everything (2017). The song was written and produced by Eilish's older brother, Finneas O'Connell, and was originally written for his band. Finneas gave the song to Eilish for her dance performance after realizing the song suited her vocals. It was originally released on SoundCloud on November 18, 2015, but was later re-released commercially on November 18, 2016, as a single through Darkroom and Interscope Records.

"Ocean Eyes" received mainly positive reviews from critics, several of whom praised its composition and the lyrical content. The song was commercially successful, reaching number 84 on the US Billboard Hot 100. It peaked within the top 60 in the record charts of several countries and peaked at number 72 on the UK Singles Chart. "Ocean Eyes" has received several certifications, including a triple-platinum certification by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).

To promote the song, the track was accompanied by a music video, directed by Megan Thompson and released on March 24, 2016. A dance performance video was released on November 22, 2016. Eilish included the track on the setlists of her 2019 When We All Fall Asleep Tour, her 2020 Where Do We Go? World Tour, and her 2022 Happier Than Ever, The World Tour.

Background and release
The track was written, mixed, and produced by Eilish's brother, Finneas O'Connell. Finneas had written and produced "Ocean Eyes" originally for his band, the Slightlys, before realizing it would be a better fit for Eilish's vocals. He gave it to Eilish when her dance teacher at the Revolution Dance Center (Honolulu Avenue, Los Angeles) Fred Diaz asked them to write a song for choreography. The track was entirely made using Logic stock sounds. The vocals were recorded with an Audio-Technica AT2020 microphone. In a 2017 interview with Teen Vogue, Eilish said: "[Finneas] came to me with 'Ocean Eyes,' which he had originally written for his band. He told me he thought it would sound really good in my voice. He taught me the song and we sang it together along to his guitar and I loved it. It was stuck in [my] head for weeks." Finneas would later become Eilish's manager.

Eilish and her brother uploaded the track to SoundCloud on November 18, 2015, so Diaz could have access to it. The song went viral overnight. When Eilish got a growth plate injury, it put an end to her dancing career and she turned her focus toward a recording career. After Eilish signed to Darkroom and Interscope Records, "Ocean Eyes" was re-released for digital download and streaming on November 18, 2016, as the lead single on Eilish's debut EP, Don't Smile at Me, and the soundtrack album to the film Everything, Everything (2017). Mastering was handled by studio personnel John Greenham. An EP featuring remixes by Astronomyy, Blackbear, Goldhouse and Cautious Clay was released on January 14, 2017.

In 2023 Katy Perry revealed that she was sent an email by Unsub Records about "Ocean Eyes" with hopes of collaboration when it was to be released. But she thought it "was just a blonde girl" and "Meh, boring". In retrospect, however, she dubbed it was a "Big mistake. Huge mistake.".

Composition and lyrical interpretation

"Ocean Eyes" has a tempo of 145 beats per minute (BPM). The song is played in the key of E minor, while Eilish's vocals span a range of E3 to B5. Critical commentary described "Ocean Eyes" as a pop, dream-pop, synth-pop, indie-pop, and R&B ballad. Laurence Day of The Line of Best Fit described the song having "sparse percussion" and "low-slung bass". He further mentions Eilish's vocals "are soft and melodic, dispersing amongst the effervescent synths". Writing for i-D, Mathias Rosenzweig described the song as an "unhurried, minimalist beats and lush synths, reminiscent of ocean waves on a dreary grey day".

Mathias Rosenzweig of Vogue stated that Eilish compares "love to falling off a cliff" and that she is "surrounded by the warlike intensity of napalm skies" and further says it's "a profound description for a 14-year-old, and it's led to an enormous amount of interest in her debut song—as well as the singer herself. Rosenzweig mentions the song has "airy soprano vocals [that] also conjure up thoughts of the ocean washing over the song's mellow percussion and minimalist synths. The song's maturity paired with a few childish ideals—she sings, for example, that love is 'no fair'—struck a chord. Claudia Willen of Insider stated that lyrically, "Ocean Eyes" is about a "dreamy love letter to a crush with ocean eyes": "I've been watchin' you for sometime/Can't stop staring at those ocean eyes/Burning cities and napalm skies/Fifteen flares inside those ocean eyes/Your ocean eyes".

Critical response
Upon release, "Ocean Eyes" received critical acclaim from music critics. Timothy Monger of AllMusic called the track "lush" and "lonesome". Writing for Billboard, Jason Lipshutz described the track as "understated" and "heartbreaking". Rebecca Haithcoat of SSENSE labelled "Ocean Eyes" as "gauzy". Stephen Thompson of NPR cited the track as "moody". Nicole Almeida of Atwood Magazine commended the lyrical content, which she described as "vulnerable" and "atmospheric", and mentions "the layered vocals and Eilish's great voice make this song special". Adrien Begrand from PopMatters affirmed the song shows Eilish's "precocious talent". Mike Wass writing for Idolator labeled the song as a "dreamy ballad".

NME ranked "Ocean Eyes" at number 11 on its "Every single Billie Eilish song ranked in order of greatness" list, with the staff saying the "most memorable moments on 'Ocean Eyes' are its most vulnerable, like the opening whispers or the sure-footed yet restrained chorus". Insider said "one could easily question if Eilish would be the household name she is now without the success of this stunning [song]". Dan Regan of Billboard praised Astronomyy's remix, saying "[Eilish's] voice echoes over a stripped down intro before a tinny beat kicks in with some new background vocals", while he cited Blackbear's remix brought the song "new emotional heights" and described it has "trapped ou with 808 tinges and even more ghostly with his added vocal harmonies".

Commercial performance
"Ocean Eyes" first peaked at number 11 on the Bubbling Under Hot 100 chart on November 11, 2018. Following the release of Eilish's debut studio album, When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? (2019), "Ocean Eyes" rose to number 84 on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart. At the same time, Eilish broke the record for the most simultaneous Hot 100 entries for a female artist. It has received a triple-platinum certification by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), which denotes track-equivalent sales of three million units based on sales and streams. In the United Kingdom, the single peaked at number 72 on the UK Singles Chart, and has received a platinum certification from the British Phonographic Industry (BPI), which denotes track-equivalent sales of 600,000 units. It was also successful in Australia, peaking at number 58 on the ARIA Charts and being awarded a 7× platinum certification by the Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA) in 2021.

Performances

A music video for "Ocean Eyes" directed by Megan Thompson was uploaded to Eilish's official YouTube channel on March 24, 2016.  The visual sees Eilish singing to the camera while a torrent of lilac smoke surrounds her. Chris Deville of Stereogum praised Thompson's directing, saying it "will certainly help" the song for the future. A dance performance video was also uploaded to Eilish's official YouTube channel on November 22, 2016. Rosenzweig described the dance visual as a "scaled-back, emotional choreography".

"Ocean Eyes" was performed live during Eilish's North American 1 by 1 tour in 2018. Eilish performed it at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in April 2019, at the Glastonbury Festival in June, and at Pukkelpop in August 2019. "Ocean Eyes" was included on the set list of Eilish's 2019 When We All Fall Asleep Tour. The track was also included on the setlist of her 2020 Where Do We Go? World Tour. Alicia Keys covered "Ocean Eyes" in December 2019 at Jungle City Studios in New York for Spotify's Singles series. Rania Aniftos of Billboard said Keys' cover gave "Ocean Eyes" a "characteristically soulful twist with a piano arrangement". In December of the same year, Eilish performed "Ocean Eyes" for The Late Late Show with James Corden, with Keys playing the piano in front of an all-women studio audience. The two singers would swap vocals. A demo of the song was made available on Logic Pro X in May 2020. During a 2022 world tour in support of her second studio album Happier Than Ever (2021), Eilish performed "Ocean Eyes" as part of a mashup of her first singles; "Bored" and "Bellyache" were the other singles in the mashup.

Forum Post: Is It Too Late To Open This Forum?
Most here prefer a small private world where their views cannot be contradicted, new ideas cannot be brought to the table etc.... This is why most users were banned and the forum login closed.
However, in the end, a forum is for open discussion. It's always better to have free and open discourse from the community.
When a site is closed like this, it becomes a place where a handful of people write for the same handful of people.
You've had what you wanted for a few years - complete control of the forum for personal use - maybe it's time to hand it back to the community?
What do you say DKAToday? Yay, or Nay?
I remember the day the forum was closed. The dark day in the history of occupy. DKAtoday turned on his friends in the Twinkle Team and banned most of them before shutting the door of the forum. Their names remain tainted with the suffix troll - shooztroll, zentroll, that DKAToday affixed to their names.
You credit (falsely discredit) Me too much! As You Damn Well Know! This forum has never been mine to open or close the sign-up function. That has always been Jart's purview and still is as far as I am aware though Micah might have some say in it too, I don't know.
You always had a special relationship with Jart and Michah. Everyone knows this. You banned half the users on the forum. If you wanted the forum open, you could simply contact them and ask to do so.
I never banned half the users on this forum = removing a thousand or more of your sock-puppets, only adds up to removing 1 troll (repeatedly) = You.
I have asked Jart if she would consider reopening the sign-up page - to date she has not - so - no undue influence can be credited to me.
You claim I have a special relationship with Micah and Jart? I don't know either of them outside of this forum and have only ever had a few comments back and forth with Jart (and not for several months now) and never any with Micah.
Fair enough. Maybe you should message her again.
Why don't you message her.
You being such an upstanding presence on the forum should have a lot of pull.
For one, I am not a moderator like you. I don't have your status on your site. Highest points + moderator.
Secondly, I have messaged her many times. No reply.
I'm guessing you don't wish to ask her because you like the that the forum is closed. It assures you that you remain in control with highest points.
There ya go again with your mad jealousy about points. The points do not endow Me or anyone else with control. People make posts and comments and have as much input as anyone else - points don't make for control - CONTENT of Posts and Comments contribute to how others are thought of here = well or poorly. You end up in the poor category through your own input.
Highest points? Is that still bothering you? I know your ambition has always been to completely control this forum (or destroy it when you are denied control) and because I have made a lot of comments that haven't been down-voted (though you have tried to do so, concertedly, puppet masturbater). I asked Jart to remove my points - she didn't - for some reason she won't - I think it's because she knows how much those points (for just making comments) really drives you insane.
Do you also receive a paycheck from Google and call yourself a poor occupier?
This section in particular: " No Platform. Conspiracy theories, will be removed immediately and the spammer will receive a swift global network ban. Fascist propaganda, will be treated with the similar actions. In that we are very specific about what fascism is: the word has a meaning."
Do you follow that moderation rule as a moderator? Do you swiftly ban those that print conspiracy theories here?
A question is not a conspiracy theory. There is a difference between a question, and an assumption or conspiracy theory. I just asked.
If you believe that counts as a conspiracy theory, then you should do your job as a moderator and delete it and ban me.
Why ban you (your current puppet)?
You'll just activate another sock-puppet.

Man sentenced to life in prison for triple killings Down East
A fourth shooting victim survived the attack and spoke during Friday's sentencing.
MACHIAS — A judge on Friday imposed the state's maximum penalty on a man who killed three people, sentencing him to life in prison.
Thomas Bonfanti Washington County Jail via Associated Press
Thomas Bonfanti of Northfield traveled to three homes and shot and killed three people in February 2020 in the Down East part of the state, prosecutors said.
A fourth shooting victim, Regina Long, survived the attack and spoke during Friday's sentencing, the Bangor Daily News reported.
The killings took the lives of Sam Powers, Jennifer Bryant-Flynn and Shawn Currey. Prosecutors said Bonfanti drove methodically to their homes and shot them with a handgun.
Bonfanti's motive for the killings remained unclear.
A jury convicted Bonfanti in June after rejecting his claims that the shootings were accidents and acts of self defense.
The trial was moved Waldo County Superior Court because of concerns about pretrial publicity in Washington County, where the killings took place.

Siborg Systems Inc will showcase LCR-Reader-MPA Digital at 'Electronics Manufacturing Korea 2019(EMK 2019)' which runs from May 15th to 17th in COEX.
Siborg Systems Inc is a renowned digital multimeter manufacturer ater they first presented Smart Tweezers LCR-meter in international markets in 2005.
Currently, the company supplies several different models of devices of that type, which are lately referred to as tweezer-meters. In 2014, Siborg launched a new line of devices: LCR-Readers. The latest model, the LCR-Reader-MPA, is a leader in the tweezer-meter market. It offers a record high basic accuracy of 0.1% and record wide ranges as well as unsurpassed number of test functions.
"This is our first public presentation of a recently completed new design, and we hope to see a good response from Nepcon Korea attendees," says Michael Obrecht, director of Siborg Systems Inc.
LCR-Reader-MPA (Fig. 1), easily grasps and holds components as small as 0201 size, either mounted or loose. The device automatically determines the type of component and best test parameters before measuring it with a 0.1% basic accuracy. The device weighs slightly more than 29 grams and is small enough to carry in a pocket. The bright backlit LCD with large symbols allows users to read the screen easily. The MPA is easily navigated using the 4 way-joystick.
The LCR-Reader-MPA offers users a wide range of test features and modes, making it the ultimate testing device. In addition to L-C-R and ESR measurements, they include Oscilloscope mode, LED/diode, short/continuity test, AC/DC voltage measurements, Frequency measurements, Signal Generator and more. One of the main advancements of the device is the ability to use a 100 kHz test frequency. This allows for a 0.001 pF resolution for capacitance and 0.1 nH for inductance measurements.


One week after the cross-country Olympic and downhill UCI Mountain Bike World Championships presented by Mercedes Benz, off-road action shifted to Auronzo, Italy, for the 16th edition of the UCI Mountain Bike Marathon World Championships.
Henrique Avancini became the first Brazilian rider in mountain bike history to win a world title with his victory in the men's race, while Annika Langvad of Denmark successfully defended her title in the women's race to take her fifth win in the Marathon.
The 2018 UCI Mountain Bike Marathon World Championships took place in one of the most beautiful landscapes in the world, within the UNESCO World Heritage site Tre Cime di Lavaredo, in the Italian Dolomites mountains. Women raced 89 kilometres and climbed 3'400 metres, while the men covered 102 kilometres and climbed 4'200 metres.
The women's race saw most of the top contenders close together as they went over the first climb, including Langvad and other former winners Gunn-Rita Dahle Flesjaa of Norway and Maja Wloszczowska of Poland. However, by the time they reached the Tre Cime climb it was only Langvad at the front, with Christina Kollmann-Forster of Austria a distant second, more than seven minutes back, and Wloszczowska in third, which was the finishing order. Six-time winner Dahle Flesjaa was fourth and recent crowned XCO UCI World Champion Kate Courtney of the USA finished ninth.
"It was really tough, for sure the most selective race I've ever took part in," said Langvad. "I tried to be aggressive from the very first climb. Since I felt fine, I kept my pace until the end, and I managed to increase the distance from my opponents. I could not be more stoked about ending my season like this! A massive thanks to all the people and my Specialized mountain bike team who were behind me for making this possible."
In the men's race, the lead group of 14 was gradually whittled down to just five by the Tre Cime climb - Avancini, Hector Paez Leon (Colombia), Howard Grotts (USA), Alexey Medvedev (Russia) and Daniel Geismayr (Austria), the defending bronze medalist. Paez Leon was the first to attack, but Avancini and Geismayr bridged across, dropping the others for good. Coming into the final kilometre, Avancini and Geismayr were still together, with Paez Leon only 10 metres back, setting the stage for a sprint finish after 102 kilometres of racing. Avancini came out of the last corner with a few bike lengths lead and held it to the finish line.
"I knew I was in good shape but also aware I was an outsider," said Avancini. "In order to best play my cards, I tried to break the pace of the Marathon riders and I think I made it. I don't have a favourite discipline; I feel that I am a biker first of all, and during this season I've tried to show it. I didn't expect to close the year with a world title."
You're wrong, he won the BMX marathon world title, not MTB.
Welcome to the coolest showdown in the Wild West. Not only is the desert hot, but so is the competition. It's time for the most unique mountain biking event in the world. Welcome to Virgin, Utah for Red Bull Rampage Here!


This year we had some days very cold here in the south and southeast regions, which gave us the opportunity to take the clothes the heavier the cabinet, but the winter is ending. Now, with the arrival of spring, the days of low temperatures are rare and, gradually, the colors more radiant will go back to the visual day-to-day.
The look chosen for this week we have some of the elements that make this time of year and which deserve attention . The first of them is the blazer and lightweight fabric in a light shade that promises to make it a relative success among men. I've seen the part for sale in several stores, which indicates that the trade betting on his presence at the wardrobe male.
The shirts also clear are the other mandatory element so that the thermometers begin to mark higher temperatures, but, still, carry a lightweight mesh might be a good idea if the weather to change, mostly at night.
The traditional shoes brown and black can give a time and those who want to dare can invest in a model like the one in the picture, which is traditional in its format, but modern in its colour, making a nice contrast with the blazer. Pants in cotton comes to give even more lightness to the look and ensures comfort and freshness for those who want an option to jeans.
Details with stronger colours are also welcome as a handkerchief in the pocket of the blazer, a half-multicolored (for those who enjoy) or even a tie with the pattern a little more eye-catching.
Colorful accessories are ideal to create a striking visual and stripped down!

A post-Cold War development, the Italian Ariete main battle tank (MBT) employs the latest optical and weapons systems, giving the tank similar capabilities as other modern MBTs. Smoke grenade dischargers are mounted on either side of the turret, providing the Ariete with another tool against antitank weapons in urban combat. For further protection, the tank is equipped with enhanced side armor and the RALM laser warning receiver.
The Brickmania Ariete kit includes the fine details and sleek design of the modern day tank. Key components include a rotating turret and elevating main gun, working Brickmania Track Links, opening hatches, a high-quality sticker sheet, and printed tiles. Also included is a custom Italian Tanker minifigure and BrickArms MG42 and ammo box. For those long road trips, the kit comes with military rations in the form of a "Slamarino" bottle of sparkling mineral water and "Canepa" brand olives.

Stockholm (HedgeNordic) – For CTAs and quant macro strategies, 2016 was another challenging year. Generally, the strategy group benefited from external market shocks such as worries over China in the beginning of the year and from the fallout of the UK referendum translating into a "Brexit" vote in June. However, rising bond yields in the second half of the year weighed on performance.
In order to shed some more light on the recent development of the CTA industry, HedgeNordic gathered industry experts, CTAs/quant macro managers and Nordic allocators alike, to a roundtable session in Stockholm on December 15, 2016.
The unique blend of world leading quant strategy hedge fund managers and prominent Nordic institutional allocators provided for a fruitful discussion spanning over a wide range of subjects including recent industry performance (or the lack thereof), technological advances and its impact on CTA strategies, trends seen among investors and the fee pressures put on hedge fund strategies and CTAs, and the outlook for the strategy in an environment of zero or negative interest rates. Participating in the discussion were representatives of Lynx, Aspect, Winton, DUNN, Efficient, AP1, AltoCumulus, RPM, IPM,Movestic, SMN and Estlander & Partners.

"First Ever" –Violent Supernova Observed By Magellan Telescopes May End Long-standing Mystery
Posted on May 7, 2019 in Astronomy, Science
Type Ia supernovae play a crucial role in helping astronomers understand the universe. Their brilliance allows them to be seen across great distances and to be used as cosmic mile-markers, which garnered the 2011 Nobel Prize in Physics. Their violent explosions synthesize many of the elements that make up the world around us, which are ejected into the galaxy to generate future stars and stellar systems.
Although hydrogen is the most-abundant element in the universe, it is almost never seen in Type Ia supernova explosions, except the observations taken by the Magellan telescopes at Carnegie's Las Campanas Observatory in Chile that were crucial to detecting the emission of hydrogen that make supernova ASASSN-18tb, so distinctive.. Detection of a supernova with an unusual chemical signature by a team of Carnegie Institute astronomers led by Juna Kollmeier may hold the key to solving the longstanding mystery that is the source of these violent explosions.
"It's possible that the hydrogen we see when studying ASASSN-18tb is like these previous supernovae, but there are some striking differences that aren't so easy to explain," said Kollmeier.
Although hydrogen is the most-abundant element in the universe, it is almost never seen in Type Ia supernova explosions. In fact, the lack of hydrogen is one of the defining features of this category of supernovae and is thought to be a key clue to understanding what came before their explosions. This is why seeing hydrogen emissions coming from this supernova was so surprising.
"Supernova Swept Over Earth" –Killing Off Large Ocean Animals at Dawn of Pleistocene
Type Ia supernovae originate from the thermonuclear explosion of a white dwarf that is part of a binary system. But what exactly triggers the explosion of the white dwarf–the dead core left after a Sun-like star exhausts its nuclear fuel–is a great puzzle. A prevailing idea is that, the white dwarf gains matter from its companion star, a process that may eventually trigger the explosion, but whether this is the correct theory has been hotly debated for decades.
This led the research team behind this paper to begin a major survey of Type Ia supernovae–called 100IAS–that was launched when Kollmeier was discussing the origin of these supernovae with study co-authors Subo Dong of Peking University and Doron Kushnir of the Weizmann Institute of Science who, along with Weizmann colleague Boaz Katz, put forward an new theory for Type Ia explosions that involves the violent collision of two white dwarfs.
Astronomers eagerly study the chemical signatures of the material ejected during these explosions in order to understand the mechanism and players involved in creating Type Ia supernovae.
In recent years, astronomers have discovered a small number of rare Type Ia supernovae that are cloaked in large amount of hydrogen–maybe as much as the mass of our Sun. But in several respects, ASASSN-18tb is different from these previous events.
First, in all previous cases these hydrogen-cloaked Type Ia supernovae were found in young, star-forming galaxies where plenty of hydrogen-rich gas may be present. But ASASSN-18tb occurred in a galaxy consisting of old stars. Second, the amount of hydrogen ejected by ASASSN-18tb is significantly less than that seen surrounding those other Type Ia supernovae. It probably amounts to about one-hundredth the mass of our Sun.
"One exciting possibility is that we are seeing material being stripped from the exploding white dwarf's companion star as the supernova collides with it," said Anthony Piro. "If this is the case, it would be the first-ever observation of such an occurrence."
"I have been looking for this signature for a decade!" said co-author Josh Simon. "We finally found it, but it's so rare, which is an important piece of the puzzle for solving the mystery of how Type Ia supernovae originate."
Nidia Morrell was observing that night, and she immediately reduced the data coming off the telescope and circulated them to the team including Ph.D. student Ping Chen, who works on 100IAS for his thesis and Jose Luis Prieto of Universidad Diego Portales, a veteran supernova observer. Chen was the first to notice that this was not a typical spectrum. All were completely surprised by what they saw in ASASSN-18tb's spectrum.
"I was shocked, and I thought to myself 'could this really be hydrogen?'" recalled Morrell.
To discuss the observation, Morrell met with team member Mark Phillips, a pioneer in establishing the relationship–informally named after him–that allows Type Ia supernovae to be used as standard rulers. Phillips was convinced: "It is hydrogen you've found; no other possible explanation."
"This is an unconventional supernova program, but I am an unconventional observer–a theorist, in fact" said Kollmeier. "It's an extremely painful project for our team to carry out. Observing these things is like catching a knife, because by definition they get fainter and fainter with time! It's only possible at a place like Carnegie where access to the Magellan telescopes allow us to do time-intensive and sometimes arduous, but extremely important cosmic experiments. No pain, no gain."
The new Chandra X-Ray Observatory image at the top of the page shows the famous leftovers of Tycho's supernova, revealing for the first time an arc of X-ray emission within the supernova remnant. The shape of the arc is different from any other feature seen in the remnant. This supports the conclusion that a shock wave created the arc when a white dwarf exploded and blew material off the surface of a nearby companion star.

Porgy en Bess Jazz Club - Terneuzen in the southwest part of The Netherlands: 28th and 29th of March 2009: The Best Place To Be.
On Sunday afternoon Roberta Gambarini was scheduled for a concert with her quartet. Roberta Gambarini, the Italian born vocalist, has been performing in Porgy en Bess several times before. I remember her on a concert November 2003 with the late Jimmy Woode, the veteran bass player and in October 2007 with piano player Kirk Lightsey.
This time she brought some great musicians, like Cyrus Chestnut on piano, Neil Swainson on the bass and Willie Jones III at the drums.
Neil Swainson was a new face for me, although I knew that he performed with George Shearing for years ( late 1980s up to the late 1990s). I learned during the concert that he is a very skilled bass player doing a good job in accompanying Roberta Gambarini.
With the tune On The Sunny Side of the Street the concert took an unexpected turn as Roy Hargrove joined the quartet. Montez Coleman stood in for Willie Jones and Joel Holmes took Cyrus's chair behind the keys for one tune.
A great jam session on stage with tunes like the Thelonious Monk standard Rhythm-a-Ning, the tune Never Let Me Go and a great performance of If You Could See Me Now from Roberta's new album, on which James Moody and Roy Hargrove are to be heard as guest musicians.
The well known tune, Body and Soul , became the final number of the show, in which all members of the quartet ( including Roy) could show what they are made for.
This concert, specially the second part, learned what a great jazz musician Roy Hargrove is, a great soloist on trumpet and maybe even greater on his flugelhorn in ballads and he sings too ( ....... watch out watch out !), but above all things he can get the mood for the show - he can transform each performance to a little party for both the musician on stage as the people in the audience. Thanks Roy for that !! That's where Jazz is made for!
This Mini Jazz Festival "Summertime" (what's in a name - This weekend we went over to summer time in this part of the world) was the last activity for this winter concert season: Great concerts were organized in Porgy en Bess withRik Mol, Robin Verheyen, Jeff Hamilton and Tamir Hendelman; the Rein De Graaff Trio with Pete Christlieb en Ferdinand Povel, The Pierre Courbois Vijfkwarts Sextet, Benjamin Herman and Ernst Glerum and a great New Years concert with Rony Verbiest with the Cauter family.
Thanks to all volunteers of Porgy en Bess Jazz Club that made these great concerts possible!
The Williams Sisters, Hannah Williams and Dorothy Williams, was one of those numerous vocal groups during the 1920s. They were known as one of the hippest "girl" acts of the 1920s, ..... They were making tempo changes and varying their song sections, the Boswell Sisters later turned into an art form but which were still employed with organic logic in smart Williams novelties like Sam The Accordion Man ( from: That Devilin' Tune - Allen Lowe p. 90). Bill Schoerner made an in-depth investigation about this Pennsylvanian vocal duo. By late 1930, it seems that the sister act broke up when Hannah was hired for "Sweet and Low" a Broadway musical produced by Billy Rose and featuring his wife, Fanny Brice, George Jessel and Frank Barton. On January 26, 1931, Hannah married Roger Wolfe Kahn at the Kahn estate at Cold Springs, Long Island. Roger's father, the banker Otto H. Kahn, would not allow his son to be married to a show girl so Billy Rose terminated her contract with "Sweet and Low" at the request of her new father-in-law. Hannah's sister, Dorothy, replaced her in "Sweet and Low."
Doug Kassel, the grandson of Dorothy Williams and Jimmy McPartland, has generously provided me with additional information about Dorothy. When we were growing up, Grandma Dorothy had already retired from show business, although she would occasionally break into song or a dance step. We didn't see Hannah that much, but were aware that she was the more "successful" of the two. She came to visit us in Chicago and we made some visits to New York.
When our mother split from our father, we went to stay with Jimmy and Marian (McPartland) in Merrick, Long Island. At that time, about 1957, Dorothy was living in Levittown, NY and briefly married to a man named Marino Bragino. We would often spend the weekends with them. Mom was close to her half-brother, (Sergio) Mike Gomez and his family. They lived with us after he got out of the Air Force and they put us up after our return from Mexico in the mid-60's. The Gomezes moved to Northridge, in the San Fernando Valley in the late 60's and Dorothy lived with them (as far as I know), till the end. I believe at that time she was doing factory work, making aluminum screen doors or something.
Hannah, whose life was discussed in Hannah's Career, passed away on January 11, 1973 and Dorothy almost three years later in September 2, 1976.
