Ron Bedford and Roy. In September I decided to stay on at NRC and I
remained there for 38 years. In the picture next to the
spectrophotometer there is a rack with counters and a magnetic tape
reader. Roy had installed magnetic pickups on the spectrophotometer to
read the reflectance and transmittance of samples. The signals would
then go to the counters and to the magnetic tape. This made the reading
and calculations of the transmittance and reflectance much easier. When
I first started on the spectrophotometer I had to read all the values
off the graph paper at every 10 nm from 380 to 760 nm then apply the
calculations to obtain the tristimulus values and chromaticity
coordinate values which took many hours and lots of patience.
The photo is a General Electric Hardy Spectrophotometer, the first
spectrophotometer at NRC. This was one of Roy's two labs shared with
W.E.K. Middleton and Ron Bedford.

A beloved San Diego tradition, Art Alive features the work of over 100 floral designers who play with vibrant colors, varied textures and different shapes to create breathtaking arrangements, each inspired by the museum’s finest works of art. And we were there, along with hundreds of our closest friends, to take it all in and indulge our love of art, design... and parties.
Speaking of parties, the museum's Opening Celebration on Friday night was quite a celebration of the senses and we had our own display of floral beauty to share. Our limited edition Rose Garden Bonbons, handcrafted with decadent dark chocolate and filled with rosewater-infused caramel, were laid out for guests as a feast for their eyes as well as their palate. Other nibbles included edible delights & tantalizing cocktails from some of San Diego’s finest restaurants, perfecting paired with live music & dancing.
All in all, Art Alive captivated our every sense- sound, taste, sight, smell, and touch. What about Spring arouses your senses?Bolin dagarna 2016 och Tarfalas 70 års jubileum går av stapeln denna vecka på Stockholms universitet.

I miss you on my lap already. Every time we sat down, you were there.
I miss your gentle taps on my shoulder in the middle of the night, with you telling me you were there and wanted to go under the covers.
I miss your intense head butts where you would smash your forehead into mine saying 'I love you mum, I love you mum' every time you did.
I will cherish the 18 years we had together you beautiful, loving girl. I especially cherish this last year we had, cause you almost left us this time last year. My broken foot was a blessing in disguise, because without it, I wouldn't have done all that sitting with my foot up cuddling you.
Thank you for your endless love, you have my endless love too.
Sorry for your loss :(
So beautiful
So sorry you lost your fur baby!!!! Love
I'm so sorry for your loss :( Nahla was a beautiful girl
What a beautiful kitty! I'm sorry for your loss ♥
So sorry for the loss of your sweet baby. Our furries are just as much our children as the human ones. Bless her road to the rainbow bridge
So sorry for your loss, Cathy😢 Sending big hugs xx
So sorry you have to go through this loss. My kitty all the way in Los Angeles has almost the same exact face. Their love leaves little footprints on our hearts. 🐾
Sorry for your loss :(
I'm so sorry. She was loved, that's all you can do.
Hello Cathy,
I'm so sorry for Nahla. She seemed so sweet and she was so beautiful. Yes, sometimes, afterwards, we realized that a misfortune is a happiness and this awful accident allowed you to spend more time with her. I couldn't write you at once because it was too painful for me to tell you how much I understand you but I think about you a lot in this ordeal.
With all my sincere affection from France,
Claire
I'm so sorry for your loss. She was a beautiful sweet old girl.
I am so very sorry you no longer have your companion. I know there is a hole inside that seems unbearably painful. Grieve, it is the natural thing to do. May peace find you soon.
I'm so sorry for your loss... Your eulogy to her is so touching and sweet, I actually cried as I read it. You'll see your beautiful girl again... Til then, know that you gave her as wonderful a life as she gave you.
Oh, I'm so sorry.
I cried when I read this. I have been where you are here, and I really am sorry that you lost her.
I'm a loving mother of five (!!) amazing fur babies, and while I know that I love them with all my heart, my love for them doesn't even come close to the infinite love that they give to me. I'm going to give them all extra kisses tonight, for you.LATEST AND STRONGEST UV SANITIZER and ozonator for hot tubs and swim spa pools.
