Ranking the time machines
Looper, which garnered positive reviews and strong buzz when it premiered at the Toronto Film Festival, is the latest movie with time travel as a central theme.
When rating time machines, it's too bad there are no real time machines that can be purchased via Sharper Image or ranked in Popular Mechanics. But until we come up with that technology, the fantasy cinematic ones will have to do, and that's just what the site GiantFreakinRobot did.
Although it looks like something out of a Las Vegas casino because of the "roulette wheel," most geeks are familiar with the time machine from the classic movie of the same name. As GFR notes, "The design from George Pal's 1960 film will always be the definitive version of the machine for me."
We're also all familiar with the DeLorean from Back to the Future, which is such a loveable, Absent Minded Professor style contraption, it wins points just for its clunky charm. Like the Millennium Falcon, it may not look like much, but it's got it where it counts.
Two Star Trek time machines made the list, The Guardian of Forever from the "The City on the Edge of Forever" episode, and the Klingon Bird of Prey from Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home. Quite a few other TV time machines made the list, including the TARDIS from Doctor Who, the only forward time machine from Futurama, the island / frozen donkey wheel from Lost, and the accelerator from Quantum Leap.
We've also got to say that as clever as it is to put a time machine in a British police box with Doctor Who, it was also hilariously clever to turn a hot-tub into one in Hot Tub Time Machine.
Along with attaining geek icon status, the Back to the Future DeLorean was one of the best sight gags in cinema history, especially considering that car looked so cheesy, even by mid-eighties standards.
So what time machine would you choose if you could pick from any of these?
I'm not sure myself, because even though I'm not afraid to fly, I'm not sure I'd trust being in a time machine. Maybe this is from seeing what happened in The Fly, or the scene in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory where the kid's particles were broken up and blasted through the air. Personally, I think I'll wait until time travel's an every day occurrence at LAX before I decide what's the best way to fly into the future, or back into the past.

5 Big Games Coming Out This July


The HC Admiral Vladivostok, formed in summer, may be the first step in the Asian expansion of the KHL. China, Japan, South Korea and even North Korea are looking to create their own hockey clubs to ultimately join the KHL.
The recent formation of HC Admiral Vladivostok may be the first step in the Asian expansion of the Kontinental Hockey League (KHL). China, Japan, South Korea and even North Korea, which is virtually closed to the outside world, are looking to create their own hockey clubs to ultimately join the KHL.
Viacheslav Fetisov, a two-time Olympic champion and member of the Federation Council (upper house of Russian parliament), has been dreaming of going east with the KHL for years. He spoke about expansion plans back when he was Russia's minister of sport and chairman of the board of the KHL.
He even once spoke in favor of creating the Eurasian Hockey League, which was supposed to include clubs from China, Japan and South Korea.
Yet this is the first time that Fetisov's dream has been so close to becoming a reality. This summer, HC Admiral Vladivostok was formed in Russia's easternmost city; it will join the KHL next season.
Previously, there had been only one hockey team in the Far East – HC Amur Khabarovsk. Although some call it a risky undertaking, the new hockey club on the Pacific coast clearly defines the league's development pattern.
The KHL is apparently interested not only in the European hockey space, in which it brings together clubs from the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Latvia, Belarus and will include Croatian HC Medveščak Zagreb starting next season.
Now the league is also eyeing the multi-million Asian market. Ice hockey is only taking its first steps in many of the Asian countries; even so, an effective marketing campaign in China or Japan could result in attendance figures at least as high as the average for the KHL, if not higher.
"Developing a pan-Pacific KHL league is part of our long-term plan. It's hard to speak about specific timeframes, but we may have two teams from Japan, Korea and China each in our league in a couple of years," the International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF) quoted Fetisov as saying on its website.
International ice hockey will obviously benefit from this move, but it is hard to say what it will bring to Russian hockey. As long as the KHL clubs live off state corporations and regional budgets, the league will never become truly cosmopolitan.
Currently, the only way for Asian clubs to join the KHL is to find local sponsors and have the league monitor the construction of arenas and management of players.
The case of HC Slovan Bratislava proved that this option is doable – although the Slovak club, with its army of fans, was founded almost a century ago and was already popular.
Statements by Russian officials make it clear that the plans for the KHL to expand eastward are real. Valery Kan, a member of the legislative assembly of Primorsky Region, said in an interview with ITAR-TASS that not only the developed Asian economies are looking to have their own hockey teams in the KHL, but North Korea as well.
Although they have rinks, North Korea, which is stuck in the 1960s, is clearly unable to play in the continent's strongest league. For one thing, the national team is extremely weak. It became an IIHF member in 1970 and, since then, has remained in the lowest Division III.
In 2010, team North Korea had its only chance to move up a notch. After winning Division III, North Korea was invited to play in Division II, but could not go to Melbourne for financial reasons.
As a result, North Korea was given a technical defeat of 0–5 in all its games and, since then, has not had another chance to move up the rankings.
A North Korean club in the KHL might only be considered as a joke, giving fans enough room for countless more jokes, which include speculations on the name of the would-be North Korean club – HC Missile, HC Juche or HC Beloved Team of the Beloved Leader.

THE FIRST SWALLOW
18.07.2018 12.05.2018 Categories Aviation
Guided missile "air — air" RS-1-U. In the late 1940-ies the main Soviet fighter-interceptor was an aircraft cannon. They can be used effectively to strike aircraft at distances not exceeding a few hundred meters. However, the rapid development of combat aircraft, the advent of nuclear weapons demanded that the fighters qualitatively new possibilities.
During the Second world war to repel a RAID of bombers was enough to bring down 5 — 10% of the aircraft involved in the RAID: achieving a similar result significantly reduced the effectiveness of the bombing. Now, in new conditions, when every attacking plane could be boarded by an atomic bomb, in front of air defense arose, a much more serious task — to bring the number of killed on the approach to the target the bombers to the maximum possible and completely unacceptable to the enemy size.
The struggle with the already existing bombers was considerably complicated by their large size, the presence on Board of a powerful defensive armament, high survivability, which is addressed by the duplication of major systems. At the same time, the development of new techniques of air combat, further improvement of the cannon armament of fighters and other similar measures to fundamentally change this situation couldn't.
Specialists involved in in those years, the issues of weapons of aircraft, could offer only one way out of this situation — the use of guided missiles launched from the interceptor aircraft. In fact, the same conclusion came during the Second world war and German specialists managed to create the first samples of such weapons. One of these missiles — "Ruhrstahl-4" (X-4), mass production of which began in 1945, is governed by the wire, smachiwausa it as the distance from the interceptor.
The creation of such weapons and not just weapons, but, as soon became clear — a system of aircraft armament, required to meet the mass of new and complex scientific and technical problems. The rocket in this approach was merely an Executive tool, a kind of controlled bullet a Lot of issues related to the choice of its parameters, the search for rational aerodynamic configuration, immediately stood in front of developers.
So, to reliably defeat high-speed aircraft and to provide adequate ranges of launch, it had to have a powerful and highly compact engine that could accelerate a rocket to high supersonic speeds, much higher than the speed of the carrier aircraft. And aerodynamic configuration of the rocket would ensure its optimum performance handling throughout the entire range of speeds and altitudes. The missile and its detonation system had to ensure high efficiency of defeats the purpose. And finally, to develop the rockets needed a control system that can withstand considerable overload when performing the required maneuvers missile, capable of providing high accuracy of aiming and hitting the target and all this to take the rocket a minimum of space and have minimal mass.
One of the first to work on the creation of managed aircraft missiles joined OKB-293 M. R. Bisnovatyi. Developed under his leadership, aviation rocket — self-guided aircraft rocket SNARS-250 — 1952 was released on flight tests. But after the close of OKB-293 in February 1953 work on SNARS-250 stopped.
In the autumn of 1950 to develop aircraft missiles drew and OKB-301 Lavochkin, which together with KB-1 of the 3rd Main Directorate under the Council of Ministers was instructed to develop a rocket G-300. According to the original plan, the carrier of four such missiles, as well as complex radar equipment D-500, is designed to detect targets and guidance on their missiles, it was planned heavy four-engine bomber Tu-4. This complex was to ensure the defeat of missiles attacking bombers at ranges up to 15 km and altitudes up to 20 km But, as has already been shown in the first study, time to achieve such characteristics had not yet come. The starting mass of the rocket, the first Autonomous launches which ground installations held at the end of 1951, exceeded one tonne, which significantly limits its scope.
A year later, in the Lavochkin design Bureau has developed and tested an advanced missile — G-310, dimensions and weight which has been somewhat reduced. Her launches were made not with ground units, and the carrier aircraft Tu-4. However, further work in this direction still refused, because for everyone — both developers and customers, it became apparent the futility of their from use as a carrier in multi-weapon system and non-maneuverable low-speed Tu-4. For airplanes of other types system were simply unaffordable.
In the early 1950-ies in the number of organizations-developers of missiles "air — air" entered and KB-1. Here since 1951 under the leadership of K. N. PetroChina has been developing a system of aircraft armament-1 Y (K-5). Initially, this system was conceived as a fairly tiny weapons suitable for use in most mass-produced jet fighter the MiG-17.
The development of missiles for new weapons systems began in the Department of 32 KB-1, which employed a number of prominent aviation specialists —D. L. Tomashevich, N. G.Sirin etc. In the document missile received the designation "CMM", which was glossed as "sh — low".
For CMM was used aerodynamic configuration "duck" with crosswise arranged wings and rudders. A special role in this choice was the fact that for the relatively small size of the rudders provide the required agility of the missile-"a duck" and its aerodynamic stability under different flight modes.
For reliable stabilization rockets on roll after vanishing from the guide beam of the aircraft and before the start of the radio on its wings mounted ailerons.
Special attention from the developers of the missile demanded its engine. Of course, he was solid other for this purpose just didn't fit. And here is the place for placing the engine on this rocket had to look up.
Controlled aircraft missile of class "air — air" RS-1:
1 — radio-fuse RV-5; 2 — warhead (1st compartment); 3 — drive; 4 — 2nd (tie) compartment; 5 — solid rocket motor (3rd compartment); 6 — serial number; 7 is the 4th (aggregate) storage compartment; 8 — the 5th (instrumental) compartment; 9 — antenna radios; 10 — asbestos panel; 11 — wing; 12 — gargrot; 13 — cone of tracer; 14 — fire tracer OTM-30; 15 — Aileron; 16 — rocking Aileron; 17 — axis of the Aileron; 18 and 20 holes, 19 — on-Board connector OSH-4; 21 — tape protective device of radio controlled fuses; 22 — goniometer; 23 — cover for installation of cutters; 24 — rear yoke; 25 — the locking wing; 26 — attack of the cheque; 27 — drain hole; 28 — pad contacts start; 29 — insulator; 30 — copper bus-bar; 31 is an explosive, 32 — detonator; 33 — tie rod; 34 — screw; 35 — front yoke; 36 — igniter; 37 — a fuel block; 38 — the case of the combustion chamber; 39 — aperture; 40 — locking screw nozzle; 41 — air nozzle; 42 — battery ROOM-2; 43 — air pressure accumulator; 44 — radio; 45 — steering machines SHMV-2A; 46 — switch, HF-6A; 47 — fragmentation case; 48 — axis control surfaces; 49 and 50 electroplaits; 51 — air-reinforcing unit; 52 is a switching relay RP-3, 53 — relay switching RP-6; the 54 — unit roll SHMV-1A, 55 — cross drive ailerons; 56 — igniter ПП9-RS; 57 spacer (wood rail); 58 — pressure seal; 59 — check; 60 sensors linear accelerations SHMV-11B
On most missiles of the time the engine was installed in the tail section, which seemed most logical, Nothing prevented the movement of the gas jet, and at the same time the stream of hot gases does not touch any elements of the missile. Rocket CMM this rule had to break for two reasons. First — in the tail of the rocket was intended to be an antenna of a receiver of commands from the guidance station and the second position of the center of mass of the rocket is not supposed to change considerably in the process of burning fuel. To reconcile these contradictions have been due to the installation of the engine in the middle of the rocket. The thrust in this case was created two small nozzles placed on the side of the rocket.
The creation of thrust by means of nozzles also allowed to solve the problem of the smooth spot beam passing through the plume of ionized gases to the antenna of the rocket.
Structurally, CMM consisted of five compartments connected to each other by threaded connections, pins and screws. The main materials of its construction were widely used in the industry of aluminum and magnesium alloys. Only the CMM engine was made of steel.
An interesting feature of steel CMM servos: they are tied with the surfaces of the rudders and ailerons of the missiles with its rotatable body, and their stocks are recorded on the body of the rocket. For controlling the servos of the channels of pitch and rate of air and electrical signals fed to the second compartment of the rocket piping and cables installed at the bottom of the fairing. The stabilization roll is provided placed in the fourth compartment of the two-step gyro and the integrating device and the steering machine that using the d-pad tied to the ailerons mounted on each wing missiles. The fifth compartment was used for equipment control and ended whip receiving antenna. The law-zovko wings were established tracers.
A special role in the work on the new weapon system played a team head of the organization for the aviation radar systems NII-17, headed In Tikhomirov In 1952 into service of the MiG-15 and MiG-17 was adopted, developed here on-Board radar sight "Emerald". Technical reserve created in NII-17 during this work, enabled in a matter of months after resolving a number of fundamental questions to navigate to the tests on the MiG-17 prototypes radar "Emerald-2", which subsequently became part of the weapon system K-5. This radar, which in various versions was installed on the MiG-17, MiG-19 and the first serial Yak-25, performed for first time scheme, two antenna units. In the center of the inlet plane at the ogive fairing housed the disc-antenna channel tracking of the target. "Gubavica" fairing over the inlet, in a plane parallel to the wings of the fighter rotated a block of two opposite parabolic antennas detection.
In constructing the flight control system of the rocket used its principle of aiming the beam airborne radar guidance, which was as follows. Guidance station interceptor "Emerald-2" in the process of their work created by using coded pulses the coordinate system of missile control Equipment radio control consisted of two identical independent channels, which enables the generation of directional signals in two mutually perpendicular planes They act on-Board equipment of missiles, which included three-channel autopilot, providing its management and stabilization as in the control surfaces and about the longitudinal axis.
During the attack, the pilot managed the plane so that the level of the target appeared in the center of the indicator screen of the onboard radar. He further translated the radar in automatic tracking mode and upon reaching the permitted range made start. Until you hit the target needed to keep the blip within the radar screen In the process of guidance apparatus of the missile carried out the reception signal of the radar "Emerald-2", working in the regime of conical scanning. At the exit of the rocket from ravesignal zone the amplitude of the signal is varied in accordance with the magnitude of the deviation. Conducted airborne radar modulation signal is provided for determining deviations from ravesignal zone (up-down, right-left). Produced by the reception radio signal of the error received on the elements of the autopilot to return the missiles in ravesignal area.
The first standalone CMM start with the MiG-17 took place on 8 October 1953 over one of the polygons in the Astrakhan region. During this launch off the rail, made a relatively straight flight. The first success opened the way for a series of launches at intervals of three to four days they were held. These launches were performed by the test pilot Kokkinaki and V. Zavadsky.
With "asset" in five Autonomous triggers work on CMM moved from CB-1 to the newly established OKB-2 headed by P. D. Grushin. During the 1954 test launches continued, accompanied by improvements equipment and motor installation. By the end of 1954 the number of starts of the CMM reached thirty, a number of which are performed in a closed control loop. In February of 1955 has carried out several launches, in which the accuracy of operation of radio controlled fuses — the rocket was launched at an angle to the earth and near earth radio controlled fuses worked. At the height of the operation of radio controlled fuses and evaluated its accuracy.
CMM launches the aircraft target was launched in the spring of 1955, and the first success came on March 8 when a missile shot down the plane-the target Tu-4.
By the beginning of 1956, the time of completion of state tests, the number of starts of the CMM exceeded seventy. Obtained in the process of testing the results were in accordance with device requirements. They, in turn, corresponded to the level of development of bomber aircraft 4 — 5 years ago. So, with the launch of the MiG-17 in the tail of the attacked target range firing range of the CMM ranged from two to three kilometers, in the range of stable auto-tracking purposes, radio interceptor RP-1 to 3.5 — 4 km. to succeed in a real shoot and intercept bombers maneuvering was extremely difficult. However, the AA guide, this work was valued highly pragmatic — as the first successful step in creating guided missiles for interceptors.
After adopting in 1956, the system received the name of p-1, MiG-17ПФУ, and the rocket RS-1 (first rocket driven). Four missiles RS-1-was placed on launchers APU-3 with lock holders 369-S.
Another carrier of the new weapons became twin-engine interceptor Yak-25. Technical project equip it with new missiles were prepared in the fall of 1954 and included a replacement for the regular aircraft radar "Sokol" with "Emerald-2", the installation of the pylons of the suspension of missiles between the engines and fuselage, the removal of the cannon armament and the installation of additional equipment. Modified interceptor received the designation Yak-25K, and the entire complex of interception — Yak-25K-5. However, the number of these interceptors was extremely small — was known only to one group of bombers, the Yak-25, stationed on the East coast of the Caspian sea, Krasnovodsk.
A pioneer in mastering of serial production of the first domestic missiles "air — air" has become a factory of aircraft armament No. 455 in the suburban Kaliningrad. At the plant in 1956 produced 2071 rocket RS-1, and the next year another thousand. After that the plant started production of advanced missile RS-2-U. In August — October 1957 RS-2-Have successfully passed state verification tests, and in December, the plant presented the first production missile to the customer.
Of course, the first domestic system of guided missile weapons of the fighters were far from perfect. So, despite the fact that the maximum firing range of missiles reached 3 km, their start could be made only after the target was tracking the aircraft on radar, which in practice are carried out only when approaching a target up to 2 km during the whole process of aiming missiles a fighter pilot had to hold the target in the center of the indicator of the radar. It excluded any maneuvers restricted sector for possible attacks by a narrow cone with the vertex at the tail of the target, not allowed to attack the target, reaching with the excess in relation to the interceptor. Moreover, the enemy could very effectively use the maneuver to disrupt the maintenance of radar and, thus, missile guidance. Moreover, to compensate for the extra load from the aircraft carrier missiles were removed cannons, so in the case of a failed rocket attack in the pilot were the only affordable way for the combat mission to go on obviously suicidal at transonic speeds, the RAM.
In 1956, the main carrier of the missiles RS-1-the MiG-17 was no longer the last word fighter aircraft, and after releasing a small series of MiG-17ПФУ aviation industry has begun to release the first supersonic bombers, the MiG-19PM.
The equipment of the missiles began in 1954. In order that such missiles could become a decent weapon for the MiG-19 is required to increase the height of their use to 15 or more kilometers, and the firing range — up to 4 — 5 kilometers. Moreover, it followed, without making significant changes in the equipment of aviation rocket complex, retaining the basic structural elements. And reserves of the CMM was, in General, not so much because it adopted for this rocket method of targeting carried with them a number of fundamental limitations.
In 1954 the OKB-155 Mikoyan has also developed a project of aircraft carrier — SM-7Ас RP-5 "Emerald-2" and the optical sight ASP-5НВ with four underwing launchers APU-3 to RS-1-U. By results of consideration of the project, it was decided on the final refocus on an improved version of RS-1 and the appropriate means for her guidance.
In the same 1954 in OKB-2 was considered all the possible options for the development of CMM and ways of implementing them. The catalyst for the expansion and intensification of these works was the report on the armament of American fighters guided missiles AIM-4 "Falcon" and large-scale deployment of work in the United States aircraft missiles of other types.
30 Dec 1954 signed a joint resolution of the Central Committee of the CPSU and the Council of Ministers, which required the creation of several aircraft missiles, including the advanced option, in the future the designation of RS-2-U. Development of this rocket was entrusted to OKB-2 PD Grushin.

Even Ronaldo Is Not Enough To Win The UCL For Juve – Marchisio
Former Juventus player, Claudio Marchisio, has insisted that Ronaldo is a champ but even his talents are not enough to win the UCL for Juventus.
Juventus invested heavily in the Portuguese international before the start of this season, hoping his presence in the team would seal the UCL trophy for the Italian team.
But despite Cristiano's best efforts, Juventus recently crashed out of the CL against Ajax.
Claudio's words, "From what I saw of him this summer before leaving Turin, everything revolved around him because he raised the level of each player and gave us a lot of self-esteem.
"Having said that, a champion, no matter how big, can't give you the certainty of winning, otherwise Ronaldo and Messi would've split the last 10-15 Champions Leagues.
"The dream shattered because this hadn't been questioned: football isn't an exact science."
On his stay at Juve, he said, "[Gianluigi] Buffon was right,"
"He told me if he knew before that football abroad was lived so differently, he would've gone there [Paris Saint-Germain] a few years earlier.
"You live a different life, you savour a certain kind of freedom that is lacking in Italy.
"You know the image of a bus arriving at a stadium? That's the life of a footballer in Italy in a nutshell: there's an escort everywhere you go and you don't even notice it.
"Only once you live a different kind of freedom on a daily basis do you realise how thick that bubble is."

King Orders Halt of Construction on Agadir Taghazout Bay Resort Due to Violations
Billionaire agriculture minister Aziz Akhannouch is a shareholder in the Taghazout Bay project.
Taghazout Bay
Rabat – The Ministry of Interior, under royal instructions, has decided to suspend construction of a number of projects in the Taghazout Bay resort in Agadir. The projects are part of the Moroccan National Tourism Strategy "Vision 2020."
The decision comes days after the royal visit to the region of Agadir when he inaugurated socio-economic projects.
A statement from the interior ministry ordered to the legal representative of Sud Partners — a subsidiary of Akwa Group owned by Minister of Agriculture Aziz Akhannouch – to halt work on a number projects due to serious irregularities.
The decision includes the demolition of at least 24 buildings belonging to the Sud Partners' project due to the deficiencies.
The construction had extended outside the area allocated to the project, according to the statement from the ministry.
Sud Partners owns a 25% share in the Taghazout Bay resort.
Other shareholders are CDG Development, the Moroccan Fund for Tourism Development, and Moroccan Tourism Engineering.
CDG owns almost half of the shares in the project with 45% ownership.
The Taghazout Bay Resort covers an area of 615 hectares of coastal strip with 4.5 kilometers of beach.
The resort is set to boast hotels, tourist residences and high-end residential areas, as well as entertainment areas.
The tourism vision aimed to construct the project at the heart of Morocco, making it close to major cities, 160 kilometers from Essaouira, and 230 kilometers from Marrakech.
The project, however, did not go as planned by shareholders due to serious deficiencies and violations including the use of land outside the allocated zone.
The shortcomings in the project led to the royal instructions, set to be followed by a "political earthquake" that will see a number of senior government officials and local employees in the region lose their jobs.
The interior ministry statement said that the Sud Partners project is on hold and several villas that did not appear in the original design will be destroyed.
The "gross violations" are against several laws, including Law No. 66.12 issued under decree number 1-16-124 of August 25, 2016 related to monitoring and restraining violations in the field of construction and building.
Akhannouch Sud Partners' project includes 52 villas for public sale.
In addition to Sud Partners, royal instructions also ordered the suspension of other projects by the CDG, Moroccan Fund for Tourism Development, and Moroccan Tourism Engineering.
The deficiencies in the project are not the first of their kind to anger King Mohammed VI.
The situation echoes the development of the Manarat al Mutawassit development project that aimed to curb social disparities in the Al Hoceima province in northern Morocco. The region witnessed large scale protests after the death of a fishmonger in a garbage confiscator.
The death of Mohcine Fikri led to protests across the region, with thousands of demonstrators denouncing social inequalities in the region and lack of hospitals, universities, and job opportunities in the region.

The Whispered Spell of the Clavichord
By Mahan Esfahani
A cherished friend and a historic keyboard instrument have given me a new way of listening.Photograph by Jorge Royan / Alamy
A few weeks ago, in a hospital in England, my friend Stephen died from the coronavirus. Like so many, he died alone, and, of course, those of us who mourn him now do so alone. Stephen and I became friends through music. A few years ago, having come to some harpsichord concerts I gave in London, he introduced himself in the modern way: first on Twitter, and then in real life. He was in his late sixties then, and described himself with his characteristic self-deprecation as a "recovering barrister": he'd spent much of his career in Hong Kong, in the days when being a lawyer there meant three-piece linen suits, three-cocktail lunches, and three-day weekends in Manila and Tokyo. He spoke with a confidently fluent voice that somehow never rose above a gentle mezzo piano, and, though he was modest, huge reserves of knowledge would emerge in passing, along with remarkable details about his life: in the nineteen-fifties, as a boy soprano, he'd performed in the première of Benjamin Britten's "Noye's Fludde." At concerts, he always sat stage left—in other words, within my sight lines. If you're a musician, that's the last place you want an acquaintance to sit, but with Stephen it was different. He would envelop you in the generosity of his spirit just by sitting there in that same seat, time after time.
Stephen, who was divorced, usually came to concerts with a friend or two, and they would always turn out to be fascinating; several have since become close friends of my own. Four or so years ago, a woman was next to him whom I hadn't seen before. As I tore into the unforgiving, angular thickets of "Set of Four," by the American ultra-modernist Henry Cowell, it seemed to me that she radiated the same kind of engaged benevolence that he did. "She's the one," I said to myself. By the third movement, "Chorale," in which we can hear early American psalmody being ripped apart, I had the odd feeling of no longer being a performer but rather a member of the audience, as if I were sitting next to Stephen and taking it in with his unmatched ears and heart. The piece made a new kind of sense to me. I heard it as Cowell's scream of rebellion at a country which had wrecked his life—in the thirties, he spent four years in prison for homosexuality—and never really understood him. The lesson I learned that evening is a surprisingly hard one for a musician: how to listen with the listener. The woman with Stephen that day, a Britten scholar named Imani, became his fiancée, and she was the last person to speak with him, via FaceTime, when he was in the hospital.
The coronavirus lockdown is an odd time to be a musician. I don't mean just that work has dried up; any number of professions have it harder. But the communion that a concert represents—all those people travelling to a particular place at a particular time to listen to a particular thing—brings into focus what all of us have lost. If you've learned to listen with the listener, it's a strange experience now to play without any. As a harpsichordist, I've spent much of the past few years trying to make my slightly esoteric and (in some minds) inconveniently quiet instrument louder and somehow more "relevant" to modern concert life; I even had a new instrument made for me, designed to project more volume to an audience. But lately I have been turning inward, and have gravitated to an instrument that's even quieter, one which, it occurs to me, might be the quintessential lockdown instrument: the clavichord.
Among early keyboard instruments, the clavichord is about as esoteric as it gets. First developed around the same time as the harpsichord, in the late Middle Ages, it was in widespread use until the end of the eighteenth century. But it was never as prominent as the harpsichord, for a simple reason: it is unbelievably quiet. Rather than relying on a hammer that strikes a string (like a piano), or a quill to pluck it (like a harpsichord), the clavichord operates with tiny metal blades, known as tangents. The tangents don't so much strike the string as graze it, making it vibrate very slightly. This mechanism, combined with the instrument's small rectangular case and tiny soundboard, produces the most hushed of sounds, somewhere below the volume of finger-tapping on a guitar. Even the hum of normal stage lighting can overpower it. Clavichords had their devotees down the ages, but, because they were mostly played privately, in the home, music historians often dismiss them as mere "practice instruments." But who thinks practicing is bad? I prefer the inimitable tribute of the late-eighteenth-century music theorist C. F. D. Schubart:
Have no regrets when under the moonlight you improve, or when you cool yourself on a summer night, or when you celebrate a spring evening. Ah! Do not lament the thundering of the harpsichord. Look, your clavichord breathes as sweetly as your heart.
I bought a clavichord—a tiny rectangle made of English walnut—a few years back, but I was always too busy with the harpsichord to give it my attention. Recently, though, stuck at home and wary of taxing my neighbors' patience too much, I started playing it and soon fell under its whispered spell. Now that there is no pressure to impress, I spend hours a day with it, particularly in the evenings, and I have begun to see the seductive qualities that may have made it—according to some writers—J. S. Bach's favorite instrument. Playing it is an intimate act, not just because of its quietness but also because of another feature of its unique mechanism. Once a harpsichord string has been plucked, the job of whoever pressed the key is basically over (until the next note), but a clavichord tangent stays in contact with the string for as long as the key is held down. Your fingers are suddenly responsible for the entire duration of each sound. This delicate responsiveness makes endless shadings and colors possible. If you shake your finger a little on a key, you can even get a vibrato effect, known as Bebung, in German, which was long one of the instrument's most prized attributes.
The more I play, the more I realize there's a whole repertoire of pieces that suit the clavichord perfectly: Bach's French Suites and two- and three-part inventions, the suave chaconnes of Pachelbel, the miniature suites of Henry Purcell. Great as this music is, it can be hard to put it across in a concert hall; something about the scale feels all wrong. Where the harpsichord, in music from Bach toccatas to Cowell's "Chorale," often likes to declaim, the clavichord prefers to suggest. It sketches its sound as if in light pencil strokes, in a way that makes one lean in to listen hard. Then nuances that were once only hinted at start to reveal themselves.
I think about Stephen endlessly as I play, mourning the fact that he's gone and that his friends—Imani most of all—couldn't be in the room with him in those last days. I want to tell him that he gave me a new way of listening, and that now the clavichord is doing the same, in tones as soft-spoken as his were. Quietness has a subtle but tremendous power, and, when I think of Stephen and play the clavichord, its tones become the loudest noise in the universe.

Dwayne Johnson shared an appetising picture of his cheat meal.
Dwayne Johnson is known globally for his performances in the wrestling
He often shares his indulgences on social media
Take a look at his delicious cheat meal
Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson is known globally for his performances in the wrestling ring and larger-than-life personality in Hollywood. However, not many know that before Dwayne Johnson gained fame in the WWE and then translated his popularity into a successful movie career, he was an avid footballer in high school. He was also part of the Miami Hurricanes team — widely considered the best college team of all time. However, an injury cut short his dreams of making it to the National Football League (NFL), a professional American football league.
So, it came as no surprise when, on Sunday night, The Rock shared an image on Instagram where he's seen watching the Sunday Night Football match between Tampa Bay Buccaneers and New England Patriots, that was played at Foxborough in Massachusetts, the United States.

In the image, we can see a bottle of Teremana Tequila, two cheeseburgers, and some fries. Looks like the rock had a memorable Sunday night by savouring these yummy snacks while watching the game.
He captioned the post, "What a helluva game and perfect cheat meal to have while watching!!" He went to add what he had: "2 Bacon cheeseburgers, fries, and a big plate of my gluttony".
His used a range of emojis such as the oval ball used in American football, French fries, bacon, and Hamburger.
The Rock also thanked Teremana Tequila and American footballer Tom Brady "for the big win tonight and becoming the NFL's all-time Leading Passer"
Here's what The Rock had while enjoying the game:

From Refugee to Pastor
When Ammar* awoke to the sound of church bells, he knew what he needed to do. The ceaseless ringing signaled an alarm: ISIS was about to invade Ammar's city in Iraq, a place that was known for its large Christian community. There was no time to pack or say goodbye—only to flee.
Still in their pajamas, Ammar, his wife and his two children hurried away from their home, just hours before ISIS took over the city. Their trip to a nearby town under Kurdish control—normally an hour's drive—stretched on for 12 hours as everyone from Ammar's city crowded the road to escape.
Eventually Ammar and his family arrived in Jordan, where they now live as refugees. They're among the nearly 3 million refugees residing in that country.
Although displaced peoples are often thought of as those who are on the receiving end of ministry, Ammar has a heart to serve others. He's one of several Christian refugees being equipped for outreach at Jordan Evangelical Theological Seminary (JETS).
JETS was founded by a Christar worker to equip Christian leaders from Arabic-speaking countries in the Middle East, the Arabian Peninsula and North Africa. Its programs of study are designed to prepare men and women for ministry, often in difficult areas.
God has given Ammar the desire to serve as a pastor, and has worked through Ammar's displacement to bring him to a place where he can be prepared for that role. He's enrolled in a year-long certificate program at JETS that's equipping him with training in theology, Bible and ministry skills.
As a student and a refugee, Ammar has had to trust God to provide for him and his family. In his homeland, he worked two jobs, teaching art in a local primary school and selling mobile phones at a small shop. But like his fellow Iraqi refugees, he's not permitted to work in Jordan. He's sold the gold he was able to carry with him when he left his hometown and now depends primarily on assistance from churches and family to survive. He's grateful for the scholarship funds that enable him to study at JETS.
After he graduates, Ammar hopes to eventually return to Iraq to serve as a pastor there. In a country where 98 percent of the population is without access to a church that preaches the gospel in their language and in a culturally relevant way, trained believers like Ammar are desperately needed.
This need is the reason JETS exists! By equipping believers to plant and strengthen churches in the Arab world, Christar workers who serve at JETS are giving more least-reached people the opportunity to hear the good news and find new life in Christ.
Participate by Praying:
Praise God for bringing believing refugees to study at JETS.
Ask God to equip refugees for effective ministry and to work through them as they use what they've learned.
Ask God to provide the funds needed for scholarships for JETS students, who aren't allowed by law to work off campus.

I don't know how Dad got the idea for the Six Man Clock, but the new design fit right into our manufacturing process at Kinetico Studios. By 1982 we had already handcrafted thousands of the Gordon Bradt Sports Figures, fashioning human figures from long pieces of brass welding rod using acetylene torches and soldering irons. The clocks would be built the same way. The 4rpm synchronous motors used for the Sports Figures could be used for the new clocks. The clocks were much harder to build, so it was a challenge to develop our techniques through the years. It was also a great joy and blessing for me to be a Kinetico Craftsman and spokesperson.
Like New York City, the Kinetico Clock has a million stories to tell. I hear a lot of the stories talking to people every day about their clocks. Family stories, office stories, stories from retailers and antique dealers. There are many fantastic clock owners who care very much about their clocks. We have had the great fortune of being represented by many wonderful stores around the country and the world. We've had some talented people in the local Eureka Springs area working in our shop, helping us to get the clocks out to the retailers. We can't keep up that pace anymore, but I'd like to thank each and every one of those people who were part of the Kinetico experience.

Ben Affleck talks 'Justice League' and Batman trying to 'redeem' himself, 'make world better'
Many in the audience were disappointed to see Batman murdering and blowing up the city in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, but Ben Affleck says his character will be different in Justice League and future films.
"justice League" arrives in 2017
"Batman went to a very dark place that was rooted in this trauma occurred to the people that he loved and worked with and what he saw," said Affleck, who has also been given control over a new Batman solo film.
"This really is not about that issue for him so much anymore. He's no longer extreme in that way. From the experiences of the last movie, he sort of learns some things I think and now is … I'm trying to say it without giving away any spoilers, but he's feeling like he's wanting to redeem himself and he's wanting mankind to be redeemed and he's wanting to make the world better, having learned lessons that were important in the last movie."
Affleck believes that DC films will retain some of the darkness that fans love.
"DC movies are, I think, by their nature still a little bit more Gothic or more mythic rather than some comic book movies are, but [Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice] was a heavy, dark movie. It was really rooted in Dark Knight Returns, which is a heavy, dark book. This is not that. This is a step in evolution from that about bringing together all these characters, ones who had their origins and it's about multilateralism and it's about hope. It's about working together and the kind of conflicts that you have trying to work together with others. It's a world with all these other superheroes that exist."
Full synopsis and details below.
Justice League arrives in theaters on November 17th, 2017.
Fueled by his restored faith in humanity and inspired by Superman's selfless act, Bruce Wayne enlists the help of his newfound ally, Diana Prince, to face an even greater enemy. Together, Batman and Wonder Woman work quickly to find and recruit a team of metahumans to stand against this newly awakened threat. But despite the formation of this unprecedented league of heroes—Batman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Cyborg and The Flash—it may already be too late to save the planet from an assault of catastrophic proportions.
Justice League stars Herny Cavill as Superman/Clark Kent, Ben Affleck as Batman/Bruce Wayne, Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman/Diana Prince, Jason Mamoa as Aquaman/Arthur Curry, Ezra Miller as The Flash/Barry Allen, Ray Fisher as Cyborg/Victor Stone, Amy Adams as Lois Lane, Amber Heard as Mera, J.K. Simmons as Commissioner James Gordon, Willem Dafoe as Vulko, and Kristofer Hivju as an ancient Atlantean king. The film is directed by Zack Snyder and written by Chris Terrio.

In the breast, a network of lymphatic vessels drain fluid and cells to the bean-shaped lymph nodes in the axilla (armpit). The sentinel node is the very first lymph node(s) to receive drainage from a cancer-containing area of the breast.
Put another way, when breast cancer cells begin to escape from the primary tumor site in the breast they travel to the lymph nodes under the arm; the first lymph node they reach is the 'sentinel' lymph node.
When breast cancer is diagnosed, women (and men) must often undergo axillary lymph node dissection (i.e., removal of underarm nodes) to check for the spread of cancer. This process is part of staging the cancer. Unfortunately, the removal of these lymph nodes can lead to lymphedema (chronic swelling) of the arm in a certain percentage-- about 10-20%--of cases.
Sentinel lymph node biopsy is a new diagnostic procedure used to determine whether breast cancer has spread (metastasized) to axillary lymph nodes (i.e., lymph glands under the arm). A sentinel lymph node biopsy requires the removal of only one to three lymph nodes for close review by a pathologist. If the sentinel nodes do not contain tumor (cancer) cells, this may eliminate the need to remove additional lymph nodes in the axillary area.
Early research on this technique indicates that sentinel lymph node biopsy may be associated with less pain and fewer complications than standard axillary dissection. However, because the procedure is so new, long term data are not yet available.
Before going to the operating room, the surgeon injects a small dose of a low-level radioactive tracer called technetium-99 into the breast in the region of the patient's tumor. Technetium-99 contains less radiation than a standard x-ray, CT scan or bone scan and is a relatively safe substance. A blue dye is also injected to help visually track the location of the sentinel node during surgery. The surgeon then uses a hand held counter to detect the radioactive tracer and locate the sentinel node.
Sometimes, nuclear medicine images (also known as lymphoscintigraphy) of the lymphatic system will be obtained after injecting the technetium-99 before surgery. Since the uptake of the technetium-99 by cancerous lymph nodes is sometimes different than the uptake by normal lymph nodes, these nuclear medicine images may also help show which lymph nodes are cancerous.
Next, the surgeon will wait for the technetium-99 and dye to travel from the tumor region to the sentinel lymph node(s), just as cancer cells might spread. Depending on the protocol followed, the surgeon usually waits between 45 minutes to 8 hours after injection before bringing a patient to the operating room for the biopsy. At some point during the procedure, a small amount of blue dye will also be injected into the breast tissue near the area of the tumor. Once the technetium-99 tracer and dye have reached the nodes, the surgeon will scan the area with an electric, hand-held gamma ray counter (called a Geiger counter) to detect the radioactive technetium-99.
The gamma ray counter is attached to a small probe which the surgeon traces over the axilla to locate the sentinel node(s). When the radioactive agent is found, the gamma ray counter will emit an audible tone, revealing the exact location of the sentinel node(s). Once the area has been pinpointed, the surgeon will make a small incision (usually one-half inch) and remove the sentinel node(s) for a pathologist to examine under a microscope. The blue dye provides additional visual confirmation of the sentinel node's location during surgical removal. Several clinical trials have revealed that in the vast majority of cases, if the sentinel node does not contain cancer, then the cancer has not spread past the breast. Sentinel node biopsy does not usually require the placement of a fluid drainage tube (common in axillary node dissection).
Courtesy NIH/NCI
Sentinel lymph node biopsy may help in determining which patients can avoid axillary node dissection and the removal of 10 to 30 lymph nodes. Most patients have only one to three sentinel lymph nodes under the arm. Thus, an average of only two lymph nodes are removed in each patient with a sentinel node biopsy. This, in turn, may reduce post-operative complications. A standard axillary node dissection, removal of the underarm lymph nodes, usually requires a larger four to six inch incision and a longer recovery period than a sentinel node biopsy.
Researchers are currently investigating whether sentinel node biopsy should routinely be performed in place of axillary node dissection. However, surgeons caution that more studies on the benefits and risks of sentinel node biopsy should be conducted before the procedure becomes widespread. Typically, patients who undergo a modified radical mastectomy or a lumpectomy may require lymph node removal. Sentinel node biopsy or axillary node dissection helps surgeons determine if breast cancer has spread to the lymphatics and the extent of the spread.
In a recent study published in The New England Journal of Medicine, 443 patients at 11 medical centers across the United States underwent sentinel node biopsies. Researchers discovered that if the gamma ray counter detected the radioactive agent (technetium-99) in the patients, then the sentinel node biopsy was 97% accurate in pinpointing all cancerous lymph nodes. However, the study was not completely successful. The gamma ray counter missed cancerous nodes in 13 of the 114 women whose cancer had spread past the breast. In an upcoming study, researchers at the National Cancer Institute will compare sentinel node biopsy to the standard method of lymph node removal (axillary node dissection) on 4000 women to determine which procedure is superior.

Gov. Wolf says PA should look into marijuana legalization

Should New Jersey and New York legalize cannabis in the near future, and yield successful results from doing so, Pennsylvania may be primed to follow suit.

Gov. Wolf says PA should look into marijuana...
By David Maas
During a Twitter Q&A last week, Pennsylvania Governor Tom Wolf signaled his interest in taking a closer look at legalizing recreational marijuana.
Up until last week, Wolf has said that the state isn't ready to legalize cannabis. However, he pointed to the fact that other states have been successful in their legalization efforts, and as a result Pennsylvania should take a "serious and honest look" at following suit.
More and more states are successfully implementing marijuana legalization, and we need to keep learning from their efforts. Any change would take legislation. But I think it is time for Pennsylvania to take a serious and honest look at recreational marijuana. https://t.co/LHOmYKzMyp
— Governor Tom Wolf (@GovernorTomWolf) December 19, 2018
Wolf made his comments as marijuana legalization has picked up momentum nationwide, including in bordering states.
New Jersey is moving toward legalization, and New York Governor Andrew Cuomo said recently that "it's time to legalize the adult use of recreational marijuana once and for all."
Following a WHYY article on his comments, Wolf tweeted again, that "we can't ignore what's happening in neighboring states and throughout the country."
"We can't just stick our heads in the sand," he added.

Medicinal marijuana has been legal in Pennsylvania since 2016, and in Philadelphia, marijuana is decriminalized.
Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney, who has long advocated for marijuana legalization - particularly for economic and criminal justice reasons - jumped on Wolf's comments, thanking him for considering the issue.
"Statewide marijuana legalization can help address disparities in our criminal justice system, create new economic opportunities, specifically for diverse entrepreneurs, and raise much-needed funds for our schools," he tweeted.

While marijuana legalization may still be far off in Pennsylvania, Wolf's comments are a noteworthy change of course, one which could spur further momentum.
Should New Jersey and New York legalize cannabis in the near future, and yield successful results from doing so, Pennsylvania may be primed to follow in their footsteps.

Q: Why water clouds don't fall when there is strong wind and no updraft? I see clouds traveling at speed where is no updraft, keeping the same altitude, in windy conditions...why they don't fall? Also I experienced clouds hovering in valleys and stationary clouds above areas with no updrafts in windy conditions. Why are those not moving?
Thank you kindly

A: First, a cloud is not an object like a snowball or a raindrop.  It is a grouping of microdroplets which have formed in a region of air where the temperature is at the dew point (the temperature at which the air cannot hold any more water vapor), or below the freezing point and ice microcrystals have formed. The droplets and crystals are of such  a size that the mass-to-area ratio is so small that very small air currents will keep them suspended, much like fine dust.  Where you believe that there are no updrafts, there may actually be moderate updrafts of moist air, continually refreshing the cloud.
You should investigate the ideas of aerosols and colloidal suspensions if you want to know more about the behavior of very small particles.
Large cumulus clouds that seem to be floating and stable are actually losing and gaining droplets continually.  The regions around clouds which are "empty" actually may have the same water vapor presence (or not), but the local temperature is above the dew point, so none of it condenses. If you look carefully at cumulus clouds you will notice that the lower parts of them are flat. That's the boundary line when the temperature drops to the local dew point.
When winds are blowing but clouds seem stationary, again it's because the cloud forms where the local temperature is low enough.  You don't see the droplets forming or evaporating because the boundaries of the temperature region aren't moving.
Moving clouds are simply the transport of droplets or ice crystals along with the cold air and surrounding water vapor that resulted in their formation in the first place, but again, the cloud is continually changing.  It is not a static entity.

A: Because of gravity, air is pushed together more at lower heights (since the air above it is sitting on top of it). This makes the air near the earth have move friction than air above. This effect is called the wind gradient, and it what you are seeing is likely seeing. Since friction is different air higher up will be slowed down less than air below. So if you are observing almost no wind near you, that does not guarantee that the air above you is moving at the same speed.
If you've ever tried flying a kite, you'd know this effect. It's tricky to get a kite up in the air, but once you can get it high enough it'll be up there for good!
