Charter school under construction near Marlins Park will partner with team

A 70,000-square-foot charter school is under construction near Marlins Park in Miami and its students will get to intern with the team's executives.
Given the popularity of the Miami Marlins' executives, or lack thereof, those should be some interesting lessons.
The Sports Leadership and Management Charter Middle and High School (SLAM) will have a capacity of 980 students and should open in the fall. It's being developed by Academia, a national charter school management company, and the non-profit Mater Academy. The seven-story building will include a 500-seat gym.
Students will learn about athletic training, media and public relations for sports, physical therapy and sports business, including advertising, being an agent and management.
"Featuring a one-of-a-kind curriculum and unmatched experiences, the school will serve as a catalyst for other sports leadership and management charter schools throughout the nation," SLAM principal Alex Tamargo stated in a news release.
That program will include internships with Marlins executives on game days and events, such as shadowing executives during pre- and post-game entertainment, parking and customer service.
Marlins executives have quite a track record to teach students about: building a stadium partially on the public dime, hiring a foul-mouthed manager, holding the least successful opening season in a new stadium in decades, and trading away star players.
The team recently said that its season ticket base has fallen to less than 5,000.
Maybe the SLAM students could teach the Marlins' executives a thing or two.

4.55 / 5.00 19,342 ViewsEDIT: omgwtfbbq daily 3? wow thanks alot guys for my first award in ng :)
Just a Very Short Flash Animation :).
after i noticed that "when im bored" is a meme\fad i couldn resist to do one too
FUN FACT: isnt it funny how it took me 4 days to make a 25 seconds video?xD
psychedelic bad trip doooood......bu your tallented only to make somthing worth it gratz totally
it was weird and kewl it was like woah! keep it up
I liked it...dont really know what the main point was but i liked it......and for the bad review....haters gona hate
This was Good
Lol, well very creative storyboarding and visually and movingly it worked well. The posing was pretty good, and some if it excellent along with the animation. Coloring was nice, altho I wish some of the movie's visuals felt a bit bland here and there and I feel the character couldve been drawn a bit more sexier in some parts, let's just say I enjoyed the longer haired styles more than the shorts but good non the less and very expressive
I've spoken about a few of your other videos. I like the animation, it's not bad, but, this one makes me feel similar to that of Toggaf.
I don't understand where this is coming from, and the 'Ohshit, she's pulling off her shirt' didn't really appeal to me.
I've usually enjoyed your submissions, but this one just seems like a hobby of yours. Don't really like stripping Anime.
Sorry for the harshness, it's just what I think.
haha is ok man thats true ^^ . that's just a side thing i made ^^.
and this is a MEME comming from... lets say "the WEIRD PART of youtube"
i know i suck at drawing erotic things. and its better so!
i am working right now on a normal REAL flash animation :)

Bill would limit local control over blasting for mine projects
Submitted: 10/18/2013
Enlarge Image
- Blasting could be part of the process for siting a mine in Northern Wisconsin.
Now a state senator from Hazelhurst wants to limit the ability of local governments to regulate both sand mines and blasting.
Republican Tom Tiffany's bill would ensure local governments can not regulate sand mines using their police powers.
That's their ability to regulate health, safety and welfare.
They could still regulate the mines through zoning ordinances.
The measure also would prohibit locals from regulating blasting activities.
The bill comes as Ashland County officials consider an ordinance controlling blasting work on a proposed iron mine just south of Lake Superior.
Tiffany is looking for co-sponsors to sign onto the bill by Monday.
The Sierra Club's Wisconsin chapter is criticizing the bill as an assault on local control.

Indoor soccer tournament raises money for high school soccer teams
Submitted: 03/08/2014
- Soccer players may need to wait for the snow on their fields to melt. But they know cabin fever is starting to set in, and it's the perfect time to capitalize on it.
The 7th annual Cabin Fever Indoor Soccer Tournament kicked off today at Northland Pines High School. The event raises money for the school�s boy's and girl's soccer teams.
"This was an opportunity to have an indoor soccer program so the kids can do something in the winter," says tournament director Steve Gilbert. "There was a need for a fundraiser so we thought why not have a tournament. There are other tournaments in the region, why not have one here with this tremendous facility that we have here at Pines."
Nearly 100 5th through 8th graders played in the co-ed soccer matches. Their participation makes it possible for the team to buy new equipment.
"It allows us to buy things that maybe the school can't afford to buy for them, so different types of warm-ups, equipment out on the field," says Gilbert. "One time we bought a camera for them so we could film their games. So it's going to good causes."
Organizers hoped to raise as much as $2,000.

Attorney general candidates differ on enforcing and defending Wisc. laws
Submitted: 03/07/2014
Play Video
- Wisconsin�s attorney general enforces and defends laws made by the state, but one of Wisconsin�s candidates for the position believes his opponents will only pick and choose.
Right now Republican Candidate Brad Schimel, Waukesha County district attorney, faces three Democrats, Rep. Jon Richards, Susan Happ and Ismael Ozanne. Richards represents a portion of Milwaukee in the State Assymbly. Happ is the Jefferson County District Attorney. Ozanne is the Dane County District Attorney.
Schimel says some of his opponents, especially Richard will only enforce laws they agree with.
"That's problematic and I believe that's not what the attorney general should be doing, that's a crusade, that's a policy maker," Schimel said. "If Rep. Richards wants to do that then he should stay in the legislature."
Richards has been in the Legislature since 1998.
Newswatch 12 asked him Friday if he would pick and choose laws to enforce.
He said he�d look at the constitution to determine how he would enforce laws in Wisconsin.
"I can grantee you there are plenty of laws that I voted against that I will end up enforcing and making sure that we implement," Richards said, "And there are some laws that I think clearly violate the U-S constitution or the state constitution and we'll be taking a hard look at those."
Democratic candidates Susan Happ and Ismael Ozanne were not available before running this story.
Richards was touring the Northwoods Friday talking to media and district attorneys in the area.
The Democratic primary is set for August 12th. Election day is Nov. 4, 2014.

Attorney general candidates believe heroin high priority, growing problem
Submitted: 03/07/2014
Play Video
- Wisconsin will get a new state attorney general this election year.That could mean new changes for the department.
But many of the candidates agree that more needs to be done to deal with heroin in Wisconsin.
Police and prosecutors say the drug continues to spread throughout the state.
Republican candidate Brad Schimel, Waukesha County district attorney, believes heroin and opiates are one of the state�s biggest challenge.
"We're seeing more people die from accidental drug overdoses than we're seeing in car crashes," Schimel said. "That is a dangerous statistic for us to be
looking at."
According to a Gannet Wisconsin Investigative study, at least 199 people died in 2012 in Wisconsin from drug overdoses.
The legislature has passed several bills this session to fight heroin and help people who are addicted to the drug.
State Rep. Jon Richards-(D) Milwaukee, is one of three Democratic candidates running for attorney general. He believes the state needs to keep going after drug traffickers.
"Local prosecutors and law enforcement are already stretched to the max in terms of their man power," Richards said. "We have to be addressing these new problems of public safety in creative ways and effective ways."
Democratic candidates Susan Happ and Ismael Ozanne were not available before running this story.
Richards was touring the Northwoods Friday talking to media and district attorneys in the area.
The Democratic primary is set for August 12th. Election day is Nov. 4, 2014.

Production rule schemas are given which hold the basic information necessary for coding recursive loops and branches in LISP. Information from the user concerning the desired program is used to instantiate the schemas to yield production rules, and then these rules generate executable code in a strictly syntactic fashion. Emphasis is placed on decomposing the synthesis problem into a hierarchy of tasks which can each be solved by application of a schema. The method is demonstrated by showing how programs can be synthesized from examples of their input-output behaviors.

First,welcome to the forum!
Second, I have used a walmart CCF blue waffle pad and a piece of reflectex in my DIY double layer hammock. I've used this set up down to 26* and was plenty warm. I'm not sure which kind of bubble wrap you're thinking about but I know reflectex works well. lost

Yes !!!
Thanks for the warm welcomes!!!!
And Thanks too for the responses - All the responses have been right on target .... and properly redirecting my question towards the key attributes, rather than what i was focusing on... i managed to camp for about 6 weeks last spring/summer/fall, and this year's plans are for the same, maybe more After some thought have no doubt that my hammock will often be "base-camp". So weight and packability (if that's a word) come in a distance second to comfort in sleeping, roominess, and high-functionally. My sleep is important to me. i'm not gunna skimp $$ and sleep poorly. Also, i dont wanna do some kind of test-runs on poor designs, and there-by reject hammocking as "THE SUPERIOR" (huge grins) option. I'm watching, and reading, and learning, and have had to stop myself 5 times from just picking up the phone and ordering. Both the WB's and the HH are very attractive to me. Darker forest colors and camo are appreciated too leering, drooling, and peaking under the tarps continues) |

as a total noob, it seems to me:
- HH is the premium brand, particularly if weight is a primary concern, and comfort a close second. (packability another advantage) - WBBB is the premium product/brand if comfort comes first, and weight takes a back-seat to hanging/sleeping comfort and in-sling usability. - Quilts, UQ and TQ, are premium add-ons, and are limited to hammock use, not functional for the times one is forced to ground-sleep. Between that, and the $$, they are not for me. p.s. rats, i missed out on an opportunity to buy a used beginners' rig. thanks again for such a GREAT forum !!!!!!!!!! |

Welcome to the higher side of camping. I know there is a lot to grasp just starting out, but you found the right place to start here at HF. My suggestion would be find a member or two in your area or go to a hang close to you and check out people's gear. We all love to show and talk about camping and gear.

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is reviewing AT&T Inc.'s (T - Analyst Report) proposal to ease rules for the 4G LTE deployments. The commission is planning to sanction the use of the 2.3 GHz Wireless Communication Services (WCS) band into spectrum for deployment of LTE services. The final approval is expected by the end of this month.
The second-largest U.S. mobile service provider will be the biggest beneficiary from the approval, as it holds the most unused WCS licenses for years. According to the FCC current rules, operators cannot use WCS spectrum for mobile internet purposes in order to avoid interference with satellite radio users in adjacent bands.
AT&T has been on a WCS acquisition spree. In June, the company collaborated with Sirius XM Radio Inc. (SIRI - Analyst Report) to deploy LTE services in the 2.3GHz WCS band, while minimizing interference problems. Then in August, AT&T plans to acquire NextWave Wireless for $600 million to boost its WCS spectrum holdings and strengthen its 4G LTE network capacity. The acquisition, awaiting approval from the regulators, is expected to close by the end of the year.
AT&T will also receive licenses in the Advanced Wireless Service (AWS) band from NextWave purchase. If FCC changes the LTE deployment rules, the acquisition could provide AT&T with WCS spectrum coverage to 212 million people, while AWS spectrum will cover only 6 million people. Further, the company intends to buy WCS spectrum from Comcast Corp. (CMCSA - Analyst Report) and Horizon Wi-Com.
AT&T can easily tackle the current spectrum crunch with the WCS spectrum, should FCC gives the approval. Additionally, AT&T is expected to deploy 4G LTE network using WCS spectrum within three years of approval.
The WCS spectrum would enhance AT&T's capacity and provide a competitive edge against its major rival Verizon Wireless, a joint venture between Verizon Communications Inc. (VZ - Analyst Report) and Vodafone Plc (VOD - Analyst Report) in deploying 4G LTE services.
We are maintaining our long-term Neutral recommendation on AT&T. The company retains the Zacks # 3 (Hold) Rank for the short term (1–3 months).

My cousin kept asking me how come I don't have any myths or lore for my story so I figured I'd come up with some and this is my first piece. I was going for happy and somehow made it sad but I will aim for happy next time. This is about a Vanguard soldier who only wanted the love of a woman called Lilianna. But sadly, he could never get it and well…Read the story Read More →
Hello guys, sorry for the lack of updates. I am almost done with chapter 2 of the book but for now I will be focusing on that so if you don't see updates sorry but there is nothing to really update you about lol I will be using facebook more though to update you guys as I don't feel a blog post is needed for small updates. So, if you are not a fan already, please check out the fan page!!
I am working on getting some extra cash so I can get some concept art done. My goal is to have a soldier concept, ship concept, book concept, and weapons concept made before the book launches. But, at minimum, I will have the soldier and book cover concepts done. If you guys would like to help me out by donating or if you are an artist and would like to get featured in my credits section in the front and back of the book please contact me. I will include some examples of artists I currently like to give you an idea of my style of art I am looking for and the style of concepts I will be looking for as well.

Here is the first chapter of the book. I hope you all enjoy it and as always please report any errors you see.

OK, a user commented earlier and asked why the vanguard evolution doesn't affect women. I was going to respond to the comment in detail about this but felt an article is better suited for the task. I hope you enjoy, and remember, please share the blog! Read More →
Hello guys, hope you had a good holiday break! In every culture, there are sports, hobbies, and all-around things that the people of that culture like to do for fun. Well, the vanguard are no different. I figured I'd give you an idea of what they do for fun in terms of what we would call sports. Though, I'm pretty sure we would all love to see some vanguard playing a sport like soccer or football. I think those two sports would really be awesome, especially when the vanguard would probably beat each to a pulp while playing the games lol But, onto the article! Enjoy! Read More →
Hey guys, this post will be short. I've begun researching ways to write this book and I will be starting, hopefully, in the next couple days. I will post a snippet of character 1 on the blog for free so you guys can get a taste but also help me out by criticizing the snippet and letting me know what I need to work on.
Hope to have something for you guys in a couple weeks. Thanks for reading!
P.S. Since comments for this announcement would add no value, comments are disabled.
Hello all, before I go on my Christmas break I wanted to put up an article. The vanguard have a fast empire and you may be wondering how the vanguard supply the power that feeds their empire. The vanguard found out early on in their existence that they would outgrow their current power supplies and knew they would never be able to keep up with demand. Vanguard civilians and military consume a lot of power that the need for star harvesters came into play. Vanguard scientists spent a couple thousand years researching the the technology needed for it. …Enj0y the article! See you guys after the holidays! Read More →

CheckGmail - a Gmail notifier for Linux
To be fair to them, Google are now producing quite a few desktop applications for Linux now. However, we don't yet have a Gmail Notifier application which runs in the background and shows you when you have new email in your Gmail inbox.
Even so, us Linux users aren't left out in the dark for Gmail checking programs as there are actually a couple of open source projects already that allow you to do just that. One of the most popular is CheckGmail, and it is the application I'm going to take a look at today.
CheckGmail is a nice graphical application that sits in your system tray just as the official Google Notifiers for Windows and Mac OS X do.

Originally published in Interiors & Sources
White paper defines EPD, details development process and identifies emerging trends for manufacturers, architects, designers and buyers
NORTHBROOK, Ill.—UL Environment, Inc., a business unit of UL (Underwriters Laboratories) has released a white paper to help educate all stakeholders about Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) and help clarify the role of the EPD program operator. The new guidance document, "Transparency and the Role of Environmental Product Declarations," accompanies the announcement of newly certified EPDs for Interface and Kingspan Insulated Metal Panels, and release of a Thermal Building Envelope Insulation Product Category Rule.
The report, available at www.uluniversity.com/thoughtleadership, provides guidance on:
An EPD is an internationally accepted, third-party reviewed report detailing a product's environmental impacts throughout its lifecycle, and often includes additional performance, health and company information. EPDs promote transparency and facilitate comparison of impacts among products in the same category. Life cycle-based assessment tools are rapidly being embraced by the construction and building industry as an emerging component of green building certification processes. EPDs are currently rewarded by various green building rating systems such as CHPS and BREEAM. The U.S. Green Building Council recently started to recognize EPDs through Pilot Credit 43 and the draft version of the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) 2012, includes credits that encourage the use of EPDs.
"As an EPD program operator, UL Environment is committed to educating the market about the internationally accepted guidelines for creating Environmental Product Declarations, and their role in market transformation and improved transparency," says Stephen H. Wenc, president of UL Environment. "Our goal is to create the tools and process that will allow architects, builders and procurement officers to credibly and consistently understand product impacts."
UL Environment's role as an EPD program operator is to help create new and harmonize existing PCRs—the guidelines that establish what is to be included in the EPD—and verify and register the manufacturer's EPDs in accordance with the ISO 14025 standard. UL Environment is also responsible for maintenance of existing PCRs and registered EPDs.
As an EPD program operator, UL Environment is working with Interface, Inc., a global leader in design, production and sales of environmentally responsible modular carpet. Last year Interface committed to completing EPDs on all products globally in 2012, and began working with UL Environment to achieve this goal in North America.
"With an EPD, there are no ratings, claims or judgment calls; EPDs just provide the facts to help buyers make the right decision," says John Wells, president and CEO of Interface Americas. "We support UL Environment's efforts to educate businesses on the importance of EPDs. We also hope that our own experiences and progress can demonstrate the value of a more complete picture and better transparency."

Sofie and kasper were two nice hosts! We stayed for 7 nights, close to town and nice spacious room. A little improvement point might be to hang up the shower crane, so you can wash your hair better :).
Thank you! Best Rianne & Lindsay
I and my wife could spend nice time in Kasper and Sofie's house.
They are really kind, We could to go to nice place because they told us nice information.
The room is very clean,bed is very big.and there is big desk,books of sightseeing for Copenhagen,and comfortable sofa.
Shower room is a little small but it is in order to keep our privacy.
You can go to anywhere easily because there is the bus stop very near from the house.
Sophie and Kasper were very welcoming and the room was lovely, large and full of natural light. It would've been helpful to have a cupboard and/or shelves for our clothes but that is the only criticism we had. The apartment is in a great part of town, close to corner stores, cafes and bus services. Kasper had made a list of local restaurants (fine dining and more casual) which was very helpful. They also had a lonely planet and wallpaper guide which we made good use of. Beware the many flights of stairs: there's no lift!
Beautiful place. Very modern and clean. The hosts were nice, few interaction with them since they seem pretty busy with their daily life.
Cool area, with good restaurants, shops, and close to everything.
The suggestion for those wanting to rent this space:
-Travel light, the apt is on the 4th floor (no elevator) so big luggage can be a headache, especially for girls.
-The toilet/shower is the smallest thing I have ever experienced (and trust me I've traveled). So get ready for a tiny little space to shower.
-Be very careful with the floors as it has a special treatment. Make sure to take your shoes off before you enter the apt and do not roll your luggage in, lift it. (the floor is very fragile so just be careful).
Kasper and Sofie have a beautiful home in Vesterbro, Copenhagen, and I thoroughly enjoyed my stay there. The apartment if very spacious, bright, and well located. It's a very easy trip to the train station and a great location from which to bike all around the city. Kasper and Sofie were both very friendly and helpful, and they made my stay in Copenhagen very easy.
the room: squeaky clean, comfortable, big and full of light (bring your night masks if you need'em!); the bathroom: small, but clean and for private use - which we always consider a big plus, the hosts: very nice and easy-going -- we had a very nice stay and would recommend staying here!
Our stay with Kasper and Sofie was fantastic. The flat is very comfortable, sleek, spacious and very clean. The balcony overlooking the courtyard became a favorite spot for winding down at the end of the day.
The hosts went out of their way to make us feel at home; giving great recommendations for restaurants and general pointers for getting about in the city. Kasper and Sofie were very personable and fun to chat with as we would cross paths during our stay.
The Vesterbro location is convenient to lots of great restaurants and other neighborhood amenities. The whole city can be reached in just a few minutes by bicycle or bus. I recommend renting bikes for convenience. Rates are very reasonable, and the bike rental shop is just a short walk from the apartment.
If you are visiting Copenhagen, I would definitely recommend staying at Kasper's and Sofie's flat!
Magnifique appartement, aménagé avec très bon goût, dans un quartier vivant, plein de resto/bars... et surtout pas trop loin du centre (10-15 min en vélo).
Par contre, notez bien qu'il s'agit d'un appart au 5ème sans ascenseur... Et que la salle de bain est minuscule (pour les claustro).
Les hôtes sont très gentils et toujours dispo pour donner des bons plans.
Vous trouverez peut-être que c'est un poil cher, mais la vie à Copenhague est très très cher !!! (dixit une Suissesse...)
This was our first time using Airbnb and we couldn't have been happier with the experience. Sophie and Kasper were fantastic hosts and gave great tips for first time visitors to Copenhagen. Accommodations were top notch and the location was perfect...very hip neighborhood with lots of bars, restaurants and shops nearby. We're looking forward to returning soon.
Our stay at Kasper's and Sofie's was great! The apartment is amazing and is very central yet in a quiet enough area. With a balcony facing a beautiful court yard you can relax at the apartment after a busy day out and about and still enjoy the sun.
Kasper and Sofie were really friendly. We felt very welcome and we got lots of tips to enrich our stay even further.

Hard Rock Cafe Orlando Review
Built to resemble Rome's Colosseum, this 1,000-seat restaurant is the largest of the hundred-odd Hard Rocks in the world, but getting a seat at lunch or dinner can still require a long wait. The music is always loud and the walls are filled with rock memorabilia. Appetizers range from nachos to chicken tenders to smoke-grilled chicken wings. The most popular menu item is still the Legendary Burger (topped with bacon, cheese, and onion rings), but the barbecue combo (smoked ribs, chicken, and pork with fries, beans, and slaw) and the fajitas are strong contenders. If you don't eat meat, try the grilled wild salmon or the Veggie Leggie "burger."

Can't find the answer in our existing FAQs, submit a question to Mr. Smarty Plants.
Need help with plant identification, visit the plant identification page.
From: Bayou Vista, TX
Region: Southwest
Topic: Invasive Plants
Title: How to Get Rid of Spike Rush in Raised Beds in Galveston
Answered by: Marilyn Kircus
You probably have either Eleocharis montevidensis (Sand spikerush) or Eleocharis parvula (Dwarf spikerush). Both grow locally, but usually in marshes where they like to be wet in the winter but dry in the summer. Sand spikerush can withstand grazing, mowing, and drought. It is controlled in large areas by flooding for extended periods. Dwarf spikerush is also sold as a garden plant.
Since it is growing from tubers, and can also grow back from seeds in the soil, you will probably have to remove all the other plants and then dig all the tubers or even remove all the soil. Wait to see it there are tubers still sprouting from deeper in the ground, then replace your bed with new soil before replacing your plants. (In the meantime, you would have to put them in pots and be sure you don't have the spikerush mixed in with the roots.) Then be vigilent in monitoring for new seedlings and get them out before they make tubers.
Texas A&M Agri-Service has a brochure on controlling spikerush with chemicals. But they are treating it in a pond environment. You might be able to paint the proper dilution of contact poison on JUST the stems of the spikerush and thus kill it without exposing any other plants to the chemical.
Good luck. This sounds like it will be like removing nut-grass but hopefully the tubers will be large enough to find all of them easier than finding all the nuts of nut-grass is.

Reuters is reporting the Gov. Susana Martinez, R-NM, is being accused of illegally using campaign funds to advance her political agenda.
On Feb. 19, Governor Martinez called for an up-or-down vote to repeal a state law that allows illegal immigrants to obtain driver's licenses. Aside from angering some Hispanics, two groups are questioning the funds she used to run a radio ad endorsing the repeal of the law, reports Reuters.
The two organizations are Common Cause, a liberal advocacy group, and Somos un Pueblo Unido, an immigrants' right group. The organizations, as well as 101.1 FM KSFR Santa Fe Public Radio, are asking for a formal ruling to determine pre-campaign election funds can be used to influence legislation after the elections.
On Feb. 25, Martinez
defended called radio station 101.1 FM KSFR and confirmed that her office is investigating the issue.
"After reviewing the statutes, we believe the money spent on the radio ads does constitute an allowable expense under the campaign reporting act," said Ms. Martinez, who, on Nov. 2, 2010, was the first Hispanic female governor to be elected in the United States.
State law, according to Reuters, "generally limits the use of campaign funds to spending for campaign costs, campaign debts, donations to the state budget or charities, or to expenditures of legislators that are reasonably related to performing the duties of the office held."
Regarding the repeal of the rights of illegal immigrants to obtain drivers licenses, Ms. Martinez said, "New Mexico could soon be the last state in the country that still issues licenses to illegal immigrants. The potential for abuse of this policy is far too high and it will only increase in the future.
"Our state has become a magnet for criminals around the world who wish to move freely around the United State without detection," she added. "I continue to call on our elected officials to uphold government's most basic duty of keeping New Mexicans safe by ceasing the issuance of driver's licenses to those who may pose a security threat to our state and our country."
According to reuters, new Mexico is one of three states that allow undocumented immigrants to obtain a license. The other two are Utah and Washington.

The Universe in a nutshell,
By Charlie T. (Glasgow, Scotland) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Galaxies: A Very Short Introduction (Very Short Introductions) (Paperback)
This is much more than a book about galaxies. Within the small space of a Very Short Introduction John Gribbin manages to pack in as great deal about the history of astronomy, cosmology, and the fate of the Universe. Although it is in a (sort of) academic series, it's as readable as his less academic books, and bang up to date. Explains how our Milky Way is just an average galaxy, one of hundreds of billions of galaxies in the expanding Universe. Great value!

My head hurts,
By Mike Andrew Dawson (Leeds, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Galaxies: A Very Short Introduction (Very Short Introductions) (Paperback)
Fascinating book, about the history of both galaxies as we know today and how we learnt that the Milky Way is but a very small and unremarkable island in a very large ocean filled with Islands. I can't think of a book that's made my head hurt (in a good way) as much as this one. You get a sense of the scale and size of our universe in very clear terms but it is impossible to fathom how big it truly is. Quite surprised to learn that our galaxy will one day collide with another one, but don't worry we won't be around to see it.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What is this?)
This review is from: Galaxies: A Very Short Introduction (Very Short Introductions) (Paperback)
It's almost impossible not to be overawed by galaxies. As these pages tell us, the largest of them (giant ellipticals) contain more than a trillion stars spread over hundreds of kiloparsecs (1 kpc = 1000 x 3.25 light years). The most distant galaxies detected so far (using Hubble Ultra Deep Field) have shown up in a minute patch of sky that appears blank to other telescopes. Yet this patch, from an area about one thirteen billionth of the sky, contains over 10,000 galaxies, whose light started its journey towards us over 13 billion years ago. (How these proto-galaxies manage to emit light suggesting this immense distance/time when only 800 million years old is one of many questions you will probably ask yourself while reading. Most are answered in this book.) Future astronomers, looking beyond these primitive galaxies and using the next generation of telescopes, expect (and hope) to see ... nothing, for they'll then be looking at the 'dark age' between the Big Bang and the time when galaxies started forming. Such science is truly awe-inspiring.
Modern cosmology began only in the 1920s, when Edwin Hubble made his two major discoveries (that independent galaxies exist outside our Milky Way and that there is a precise relationship between a galaxy's redshift and its distance). But cosmologists have managed to cover a lot of ground (and space) in the succeeding 80 years or so. It is to Gribbin's great credit that he manages to convey the essence of this progress in so succinct and accessible a manner - there aren't any equations in sight to vex the more mathematically challenged. For most general readers, the basic principles of cosmology are challenging enough already. But for those who know Gribbin's other books, they'll probably find the going easier here than in, say, Shrödinger's Cat. My only quibble concerns sequencing. After explaining how astronomers use the Doppler effect to calculate how stars are moving through space, Gribbin continues in a seemingly contradictory fashion: 'but the cosmological redshift is not caused by motion through space and is not a Doppler effect.' We have to wait 20 pages or so for the riddle to be resolved. Similarly, one of the graphs uses the Omega symbol several pages before explaining its significance. But such things aside, this is a superb introduction to a mind-changing subject. As in the better VSIs, non-specialists are helped by a straightforward Glossary which explains, for example, the difference between Galaxy and galaxy, and Universe and universe, usages which professionals take for granted but which confuse non-specialists. An outstanding introduction to the subject.

A great first introduction to Galaxies,
This review is from: Galaxies: A Very Short Introduction (Very Short Introductions) (Paperback)
Of all the astronomical objects that are visible to the human eye, perhaps the most fascinating ones are the galaxies. This is in large measure due to the most familiar spiral galaxies, of which our own Milky Way is an example. Their twirling, irregular shapes are fascinating to the eye, for more or less the same reasons that the rings of Saturn attract attention. They are an exception to the universe that is filled with perfectly spherical or pointlike objects, with very little of internal structure. And just like Saturn, the fascinating shape of the galaxies has only been revealed with the advent of a telescope, and not until well into the 20th century did we realize that these "island universes" lay far outside out of the Milky Way.
If you are interested in finding out more about galaxies, what they are, how did we come to know about them, how they develop, and what their ultimate destiny is, then John Gribbin's book is an excellent introduction to the subject. It is accessible to a non-expert, and very little scientific understanding is assumed. It is very readable and interesting, and it will take a reader on a fascinating intellectual journey across the universe. After reading this book, you will be looking at the universe with a whole new set of eyes, and would hopefully appreciate our own place in cosmos.

Good Read!,
By kclam (Hong Kong, China) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What is this?)
This review is from: Galaxies: A Very Short Introduction (Very Short Introductions) (Paperback)
Essentially, this book presents a useful account of our Milky Way, the origin and fate of galaxies. Galaxies are made of hot bright stars and cool dark clouds of gas and dust. They can be defined according to their shapes. The Milky Way is spiral in shape with diameter not significantly smaller than the average and there is a massive black hole at the centre. It seems that the black hole and galaxy must have formed together.
Without dark matter, galaxies could not grow at all. Most galaxies occur in clusters that are held together by gravity. Individual galaxies within the galaxies are moving around their centre of mass while the whole cluster is expanding in the Universe. The fate of galaxies depends upon the fate of the Universe which could be a Slow Rip, Big Rip or Big Crunch. In spite of this, the Andromeda galaxy is rushing towards us and will merge with the Milky Way in about 4 billion years' time! |
