Solar concentrators that concentrate light from above
this wiki
The original author of this article is Dr. Ashok Kundapur. Find more of Dr. Kundapur's work on his website: http://www.solcooker.net/Cindex.htm.
|Previous: Solar plane mirrors
|Next: Solar box cookers
|Design Compendium
Solar panel cookers
In this type of solar cookers, the light is concentrated from above. Though this mode of concentration of energy from the top is not very desirable for cooking, there are several old designs which have used the method. Many new designs have been developed. One of the most interesting and popular designs in this category is the 'CooKit' developed by Professor Roger Bernard of France.
Water lens
A lens formed by water is an old idea which has been tried successfully in metallurgy. Antonine Lavosier (1743 – 1794) had used an alcohol lens to melt Platinum (MP 1768 °C) (349 °F). The lens was made of two curved glass sheets joined to form a bi-convex lens and the space was filled with alcohol. The lens measured 130 cm in diameter and, as its refractive power was rather insufficient to form a sharp focus, an additional lens of smaller diameter was used (Meinel, Meinel 1977).
More information on water lenses is available here.
Salaria, Singh (1978) advocated this idea for cooking, but felt that there was too much heat coming from the top so they advocated the use of a deflector to direct the focus to the bottom of the vessel. Instead of one large lens, several designers have proposed the use of a dome of multiple lenses, but De Witt C Maine was probably the first to apply for a patent (US Patent No. 4057048 of 12 November 1975). Here again the heat coming from the top, that is focused sunlight, would be too much on top of the vessel and it would be essential to divert the focus suitably to the bottom. Besides, it may be difficult to fabricate an assembly of lenses to have a long focal length. Of late, a multiple lens dome has been tried successfully in the case of power generation.
To offset some of the problems associated with such multiple lenses, the use of transparent Fresnel lenses was suggested (Mathur, Bansal 1981). The IIT, Delhi group was working on various aspects of large Fresnel lenses. Two configurations were recommended. In one, the vessel moves and in another the position of the lens is altered. If the cost of the Fresnel lens is low then these designs may become popular. There would still be the problem of durability; plastic lenses would blur very soon. Recently, Fatangare (1992) has also recommended these types of Fresnel lenses.
Concept VI (Type LCA 3a) proposed in this compilation by the author suggests the use of a suitable large water lens incorporated in the roof, and the focus diverted to the base of the vessel. Provision has to be made to prevent the glare and also to cover the lens when it is not used. The cheapest solar cooker in this category of light coming from above was designed by VITA (1961)(See in the figure below). The reflector was made of disposable cardboard cones covered on the inside with reflective material like Aluminium Foil. The three cones concentrated the light on to the top of the cooking vessel. The cones telescoped into one another for easy packing. VITA claimed that it could be used for warming the food or cooking some dry food.
One more diagram illustrates the concept-VI in a better manner. Large Fresnel lenses available, at least in USA may find use for such applications. This arrangement is better than Scheffler's Cooker, because, it can be used by people living in flats. All they would require is a south facing window. But this may be difficult in some cases, in which case method should be evolved to channel the focus.
Recently Bing Gu of California has designed a Solar Oven using Fresnel Lens, he has two models, 32x32" and 42x42". The ovens also come with PV operated tracking device. The design appears very sophisticated but vesry simple to work with. For more details visit his web page (http://california-sunlight.com/10401/index.html)
Professor Mann (1981) has improved on this design. He used only two cones, but with better reflection and concentrating characteristics. The light was focused on top of the vessel kept in an insulated circular box underneath. This design could be a good alternative to the Telkes type of oven. Recently, El-Sebail (1994) too has proposed a similar design.
Another Figure in the above illustration was an interesting model which appeared in Popular Science 219 (6): P. 84, 1981. Here, the cooking vessel was placed on a small platform covered with a glass jar, and two row of plane mirror assembly above this platform, so that the light is focused from top to the cooking vessel.
Cleardome Cooker
The simplest cooker that one reviewer found could be that described by the US innovator Deris Janette, the Cleardome Cooker. It consists of a semicircular row of plane mirrors around a cooking pot kept under two transparent domes. In emergencies, or even during normal periods for that matter, this type of configuration can be used by anyone, anywhere. This cooker would work with modified Diasana type of plastic enclosure also.

I learned something new the other day. I learned that I cannot live without this stuff:
I kid you not, dear readers. It is crack in a jar.
Last week, after many months of anticipation, a Trader Joe's opened up a mere three blocks from my house. SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!! Yes, you read right – three blocks. That's practically in my own backyard! I can walk or bike there if I want. But, I'll probably need to take the SUV when I go, if you know what I mean.
Yup. I'll definitely need the SUV.
Since I wanted to maximize my first Trader Joe's shopping experience, I did some advance planning via Facebook. I asked my friends in the "Trader Joe's know" to divulge what their absolute must have products were. Over and over again I got the same response: "Speculoos Cookie Butter". At the time, I had no idea what Speculoos Cookie Butter was. But, it didn't matter. If that many people recommended it, I was buying it.

By the mid 1950's Katharine Hepburn had solidified herself as one of Hollywood's biggest stars and so with few limitations regarding her career trajectory or concerns regarding box office success, she took on roles that were less about making money and more as vehicles to work with some of the best directors of that time. Summertime, a film that most movie fans don't immediately recognize as one of her signature movies, is a wonderful tale of doomed romance along the Venetian canals. Directed by legendary British auteur David Lean (A Brief Encounter, Bridge On the River Kwai, Lawrence of Arabia), Summertime finds Hepburn in a role that has her playing an emotionally lonely yet headstrong and independent secretary, enjoying her dream vacation in Venice when romance comes her way in the form of a smooth-talking shop owner. Shot in vibrant Technicolor, Lean shows off Venice as a beautiful city full of life and history. The city becomes a character onto itself. It's a film about living in the moment and embracing the vitality of experience.

From the first pedal stroke down Grand Junction's rugged Lunch Loop trails, we could tell the SB66c was a winner. Lap after lap, the 152mm-travel carbon bike tackled everything in its path, from drops to steep roll-ins and rocky switchbacks, then sprinted back up for more. While all five bikes in this category performed admirably, the Yeti was one of the top climbers and the absolute best descender. The bike felt spirited in rocky, slow corners, but rode best at high speeds thanks to a long wheelbase, low bottom bracket, and relaxed head-tube angle. The Switch suspension also impressed us—it easily soaked up larger drops while still offering a sharp pedaling platform, making this bike one of the most versatile we've tested.

UNDATED (www.incnow.tv) - Americans are looking for ways to celebrate the upcoming Easter holiday without breaking the bank.
As the cost of living continues to soar, many Americans will celebrate Easter on a budget this year. According to a new survey from the National Retail Federation conducted by big insight, the average person will spend just slightly over $145.00 on Easter goodies.

A Very Large Array of Radio Telescopes
Pictured above is one of the world´s premiere radio astronomicalobservatories: The Very Large Array (VLA). Each antenna dish is as big as ahouse (25 meters across) and mounted on railroad tracks. The VLA consists of 27 dishes – together capable of spanning the size of a city (35 kilometers). The VLA is the most sensitive radio telescope ever, and, through interferometry, can resolve a golf ball-sized radio source 150kilometers away (0.04 arcsec). The VLA is continually making newdiscoveries, including determining the composition of galaxies, passingcomets, quasars, HII regions, and clusters of galaxies. The VLA is also used to receive the weak radio signals broadcast from interplanetaryspacecraft. The VLA is located in New Mexico, USA. A significant upgrade of VLA´s capabilities is planned.

BELLEVILLE, Ill. (KSDK) - A 62-year-old Metro East man is charged for allegedly sexually abusing a young girl who is related to him.
According to Captain Donald Sax, a spokesman for the Belleville Police Department, officers were called to a local hospital in mid-January for a criminal sexual abuse complaint. The 12-year-old victim told authorities that over the last several months, the suspect started touching her inappropriately, which escalated to sexual penetration.
On March 5, authorities arrested Michael Foxworth Jr. and on two counts of predatory criminal sexual assault and two counts of criminal sexual abuse.
Foxworth Jr. remains jailed on $750,000 bond.

Jewel-tone hues are making a comeback – in a big way. Pantone, the leading authority on color trends, has ruled emerald as the color of the year for 2013, and we can't wait to start incorporating it into our closets. Here's how:
Start small. Try mixing the color into your accessories first. A pair of teardrop earrings, a statement necklace, or an eye-catching bracelet (like the one above) boasting the shade will automatically boost your day-to-day wardrobe.
Contrast. Pair this tone with different textures (think wool and silk or chiffon and leather) and other complementary shades, like navy, for a look that makes a statement – but not too loudly.
Make it your basic. Opt for this rich color instead of reaching for your go-to white V-neck the next time you feel like dressing down.
Dress it up. Say goodbye to your favorite LBD and show up to your next cocktail party draped in this lush tone.
Switch up your shoes. Now would be the perfect time to swap your standard black pumps for a pair of emerald suede heels (sky-high encouraged).
Clutch it. Nothing inserts a pop of color into an outfit like a unique bag. A metallic leather clutch in this rich shade will add an unexpected touch to an otherwise toned-down blazer-and-heels ensemble.

This week our columnist Gerald Kitabu talked to Rukundo Solomon, a Ugandan lawyer and volunteer researcher attached to the Tanzania's Lawyers Environmental Action Team (LEAT) in Dar es Salaam on the environment and land resources in East African countries. Excerpts:
QUESTION: How did you manage to volunteer at LEAT?
ANSWER: Well, first of all my name is Rukundo Solomon. I am 25 years old and I am a Ugandan. I completed my law degree at the University of Dar es Salaam in 2011. I had been studying under the Inter-University Council of East Africa Exchange Programme Scholarship, which is now currently in abeyance. I got a volunteering post at LEAT through recommendations of my professor at the University of Dar es Salaam.
Q: Why did you decide to venture into land law and the environment in general?
A: I took keen interest in Land Law and Environmental Law during my undergraduate studies because I realised that land and environment together form the very foundation of our existence. The two are in fact inseparable. Land is the very livelihood of the peasant farmer but it is also the base on which the industrialist must build his factory and also the same ground on which we all have our homes. I was therefore attracted by land law which governed the distribution and ownership of the land.
I was further attracted to land law by the unique nature of Tanzania's land law system. Mwalimu Nyerere bequeathed to Tanzanians a land ownership system that was meant to guarantee that land would forever belong to the people of Tanzania.
With uncanny foresight Mwalimu clearly saw that at one point land-grabbing would become an international norm and that Africa would be particularly prone unless the people were protected by a barrier of impregnable land laws. It was with this prophetic spirit that the Arusha Declaration and all his other speeches that touched on land were made. These prescient documents and speeches have continued to inform many of Tanzania's land laws and land related policies.
Although it is true that sometimes Mwalimu would go beyond the need such as with his Ujamaa policy, these were in essence correct interpretations of the importance of land. Today many try to downplay the value of land but it is in reality invaluable. It is still the very essence of what makes up a nation along with its people. Once the two are separated, a nation ceases to exist.
I was therefore eager to learn more about another East African country's land laws so as to be able to compare them with those of Uganda. In Uganda the common law freehold system continued to exist along with peculiar designations like crown land for government land and mailo land.
Freehold allows the land owner to hold it in perpetuity. It was because of the paucity of serious land law reforms in Uganda that even to this day cries of 'federo' among the members of the Baganda can still be heard today.
They hope through federo to regain a form of ownership over land that was taken from them by the colonialists which is now government land. This is unthinkable in Tanzania today thanks to Mwalimu's farsighted policies and laws that ensured that land belonged to the people as whole and not isolated groups in Tanzania.
This knowledge of Land law of another East African country can now be useful to me both in bringing about reforms back home and in ensuring the smooth transitioning into the East African Federation which is another of Mwalimu's innovative ideas.
Environmental law was an obvious choice of specialisation for me because given my interest in land law, the two would move well together. It is useless to own pieces of land while the environment around and within it is being degraded. Therefore environmental law necessarily moves hand in hand with land law.
Globally today, environment has become a major issue because our ancestor's anthropocentric approach to the environment, which emphasised man as the master of his environment lad to its massive degradation with the dawn of the industrial age.
Therefore today all kinds of efforts are being made to curb the pernicious destruction of the environment both at a massive scale through industrial pollution and at an individual level through polyethene bags that are non-biodegradable. It was this that informed my interest in environmental law.
My final year dissertation was on environmental law, an analysis of the application of the law relating to wetlands in Uganda with my home district Kanungu as a case study. I did some research at one of the leading environmental NGOs in Uganda, Advocates Coalition for Development and Environment (ACODE) and was therefore able to get a clear picture of the efforts made at conservation of the environment in Uganda.
It is the desire to make a comparison and also to learn from the efforts made in Tanzania that induced me to take up a position as volunteer researcher here. LEAT was an obvious choice for me as it is a leading NGO in environment matters in Tanzania. I was both humbled and privileged to be accepted here as a researcher.
My work involves collecting both secondary data and field research as well. I sometimes carry out research over the internet or through LEAT's extensive library.
I am keen on writing as much about environmental law in East Africa and I am currently working on two articles, one is a review of the law relating to wetlands in East African Countries. This involves an in-depth analysis of what efforts have been made in conserving wetlands in each individual country in East Africa.
This has been easy with the laws in Uganda and Tanzania because of my familiarity with them however Rwanda's laws have been a bit tricky for me. I am very circumspect in my approach to Rwanda and Burundi's laws because they use the Civil law system while I have specialised in the Common law system but I expect that I will eventually be able to fully understand even the Civil law system.
My analysis will also look at the possibilities of harmonisation of the law. I am also working on writing a summary of 50 years of environmental legislation in Tanzania and another one for Uganda when it marks 50 years next year. This will involve a look at the evolution of the environmental laws in Tanzania highlighting the seminal points in environmental law history and culminating in the 1990s watershed when framework legislation was made and environmental bodies became active. I am hardworking and committed and determined to make a contribution to resource management in the whole of East Africa.
Q 2: How do you compare environment and resource management between the two countries?
A: It is a bit difficult to compare the two because Tanzania has a phenomenally large amount of natural resources. Without a doubt Tanzania is in the class of countries like Congo and South Africa when it comes to the amount of natural resources.
Uganda on the other hand has few resources and is making every effort to conserve the little that it has. On the whole therefore I would say that Uganda has managed its resources better although the fact that they are fewer may be a major contribution.
I think that despite the current government's many failings, it has generally been successful in protecting the environment in Uganda. This has been due to massive awareness campaigns and the efforts of many NGOs and international organisations. Unfortunately today there is a bit of a departure. Ministers in Uganda now callously make fun of dying butterflies due to the construction of a new dam.
There have so far been two attempts to sell large chunks of Mabira forest to an investor. Mabira forest is the biggest forest in Uganda. What was particularly alarming was the fact that the president of Uganda himself was backing the investor who wanted to plant sugar cane in the place of the trees.
Instances like these mark very black spots on Uganda's environmental and resource management record. Generally Uganda has made efforts in preserving such places as Bwindi impenetrable forest and Kidepo valley national park.
I think that the commitment to preserve natural resources stems from the massive publicity that Uganda does of its comparatively little resources. It makes both local and international publicity and there have been many efforts to educate people on the importance of the natural resources.
This was evidenced when thousands of people rushed to the streets of Kampala to protest against the government's plan to sell Mabira forest. It was this effort that was able to prevent the sale.
Tanzania on the other hand has vast natural resources. As a country it is a veritable land bank for Africa. It has numerous minerals and vast expanses of land with nothing but woodland vegetation not to mention the land which is in the hands of the peasants.
All this is a great valuable natural resource. Although Tanzania has made great strides it still has quite a way to go in managing its resources. The government needs to make greater efforts to conserve and protect the resources.
NGOs such as LEAT, Haki-Ardhi, JET and Enviro-Care are making a laudable effort but more can still be done. This can only be done by the Tanzanians themselves. I was ashamed of the fact that despite having spent years in Tanzania I had neither climbed Mt Kilimanjaro nor visited the Ngorongoro crater despite having had long holidays in which I could have done this.
However I have come across many Tanzanians who have no desire whatsoever to visit any of those places. They do not appreciate the vast amount of resources that they have.
It is small wonder that when an investor comes and threatens to construct a hotel in the middle of an internationally protected site only NGOs cry out. Resource management requires the masses themselves to be actively involved so as to obviate the recurrence of such.
Q: At the moment, many big foreign companies are competing to acquire big chunks of lands for investment purposes in East Africa. Why now?
A: Without a doubt there are numerous investors interested in Africa. The Land Grab Study written by Alison Graham and Sylvain Aubry, analysing land grabbing in Africa by European Union Countries highlights this. They site case studies such as Uganda where 401 people lost their land in Mubende and Mozambique where similar things happened in Gaza province.
There is a deep interest in African land and although the investors give reasons such as the fertility of African lands, availability of labour and the fact that large expanses are not in use these seem spurious reasons. The first is valid enough, African lands are fertile, and however, so are European lands. The second reason, the availability of labour is seemingly valid.
The problem however are the conditions under which that labour has to work. Many are forced to work for 10 hours a day under the most gruelling conditions while taking in a paltry sum- usually between Tshs 100,000/= and 130,000/=. This is barely enough for oneself let alone one with a family. On top of that the conditions of work are alarming. Little regard of human rights characterises the work conditions.
The workers deal with dangerous pesticides and herbicides without protective gear and this affects their health. They barely have time for rest and the community development programs promised by the investor never materialise.
While there are investors who do attempt to make the lives of their workers better, those that do not poison the whole lot. It is reminiscent of John Steinbeck's The Grapes of Wrath-There is a crime here that goes beyond denunciation, there is a sorrow here that weeping cannot symbolise, there is a failure here that topples all our successes. This can all be rectified by the government ensuring that the investors live up to their promises in their contracts.
The final reason, the vast expanses of land is definitely not true. Almost every investor has to get the land from a large group of people. These therefore owned the land and were using it in one way or another. In Uganda there are instances such as the British Company New Forests which evicted 20,000 people in order to make room for tree plantations. These are alarming and reminiscent of president Hun Sen of Cambodia who has literally sold half his country to investors displacing hundreds of thousands at gunpoint.
I think investment is a great idea and I believe Africa in general and East Africa in particular has great potential for investments even in land.
The problem is that some investors seem to retain the notion that we are still a powerless people incapable of fighting for our own rights or get absorbed in the old stories of silly dictators like Amin who made buffoons out of themselves and think that we are all still ready to be exploited.
We are however now capable of standing up on our own and making contracts between equals and we need to ensure that these are respected. Land can be used for investments but this should be for a limited period of time so that Mwalimu's efforts to keep land in the hands of the people are not wasted.
Q: In some places, there have been public outcry with the way Investors acquire lands especially Land acquisition procedures and process. What is the problem?
A: I think that the land acquisition process as laid out by the law is relatively balanced and clear cut. It gives and protects the rights of both the investors and the citizens. However, there is still massive ignorance of the law.
Very few people fully understand the true nature of the land law and many irregularities go on unnoticed and this leads to many people suffering.
Knowledge of the law can be transmitted through detailed seminars and other sensitization efforts. In many of the field researches I have participated in, I have found that the wananchi suffer primarily because of lack of this. They are unaware of their rights and therefore do not fight back when oppressed.
Another problem is that some of the local leaders, who are empowered by the law to defend the land rights of the common man, feel intimidated when confronted by investors who are backed by big wigs in the central government. These local leaders cave in under the pressure from the political clout wielded by the central government.
This has been a particular problem in Uganda where sometimes the central government has openly railroaded local government leaders into acceding to the demands of investors who simply desire to acquire more and more land.
Q: Looking at the level of public awareness in both two countries, do you think villagers are capable enough to understand the value of their resources?
A: If the right type of sensitization is used it will be possible for the villagers to understand the true value of their resources. Education is the key to this. It is difficult for those with limited education to grasp many of the concepts however it is possible.
Even in our traditional African culture the value of natural resources was recognised and their protection was ensured. Therefore even in today's rural communities we can carry out enough sensitization to ensure that the people get to understand the value of the natural resources.
Q: What is your organization doing to address the situation?
A: LEAT carries out awareness campaigns in various parts of Tanzania. It regularly uses volunteers who have intimate knowledge of the law to participate in these activities. These move around to even the remotest places in Tanzania and educate village leaders and the local people about the law relating to land and the environment. These also educate people about how to properly maintain their environment.
LEAT also uses Legal Aid Clinics to assist people who may have any disputes to do with land or the environment. Through these legal aid clinics, free legal services are able to trickle down to the common man who may not otherwise be able to easily access them. They also assist in educating people about the law.
Further, LEAT works with other NGOs such as Haki Ardhi, JET and Enviro-Care in ensuring that peoples land rights are protected. This is done through carrying out research projects in different parts of the country where different issues to do with natural resources keep arising.
Finally, LEAT publishes a plethora of books and documents that elaborate on the state of the natural resources in Tanzania. These are thoroughly researched and informative books that are useful when it comes to policy reviews and making of legislation.
Q: Sometimes lawyers have been blamed for facilitating controversial contracts between foreign companies and respective governments. Being a lawyer, what is the problem?
A: I think the legal profession is a very peculiar one. So many people respect it while at the same time detesting it. I think that is because of the unique position of the lawyer who yields immense power because of his unique knowledge of the law. It is true that there are cases where unbalanced contracts have been drafted by lawyers. Some have been so unfair that some kind of 'envelope slipping' has been suspected.
Certainly there do exist those lawyers who have led to the denigration of this noble profession by receiving bribes and betraying their client's interests. This however is completely unethical. These people abuse their unique position and misuse their legal skills to work against the common man. While we are all taught Legal Ethics in school, not everyone practices it.
I believe that this can only be remedied through ensuring that more members of the public get to understand the law better. As public awareness grows they will be in a better position to defend themselves.
Most contracts are written in legal jargon or what we call legalese. This makes it difficult for ordinary people to understand them but with more education about the law, they will be in a better position to do so. The other thing is to put more strict rules about legal ethics and to ensure that those who breach them are punished.

Prepayment in TB dates back to before 2004
I have inherited a set of accounts with a prepayment value in the trial balance which has not been reverse since before 2004 and I cannot trace it back further. How do I treat it?
Re: Prepayment in TB dates back to before 2004
I assume your problem is that you do not know what the prepayment was for, and therefore do not know what nominal to reverse it to.
If the company Year End month has not been changed since 2004, I think it safe to assume that prepayments in the company accounts in future years have been for the same thing(s) each year.
Therefore I suggest that you use whatever detail you have for future years and make a 'best guess' of where it should be reversed to.
Alternativly reverse it to the Profit & Loss nominal and date it 1st of your new year. This can then be corrected by your Accountants at the next year end.
I am concerned that this was not picked up and corrected in the year end adjustments for 2005 which should have been provided by your Accountants.
Have any year end adjustments have ever been posted since 2004? If not then your Balance Sheet will be wildly out in Sage compared with your published accounts. You might want to check this.
Just for reference, this question has also been asked here: http://www.accountingweb.co.uk/anyanswers/question/prepayment-trial-balance

On my trip back home to San Diego I met up with Lubi who you may remember from previous posts featuiring her fantastic style. I originallty met Lubi at the New Museum while she was visiting her daughter in New York and we have kept in touch ever since. Lubi infuses her life with art and fashion. As part of my gathering stories about "Going Silver" I asked Lubi to write a few words about her relationship to fashion and letting her hair go silver. This is what she had to say:
"Fashion often revolves around feeling "IN", being safe and going along with the crowd. Well, not for me!. I was never fearful of being extraordinarily different. I was, as well, never ignored for my fashion style. For some reason, I was (I am) more considered different and somewhat mysterious than ignored. I might have been lost in my own fashion world. However, I was never unaware of what was being "IN" in the fashion industry. Looking through fashion magazines I always see something that might be barely visible to others. This is how I am able to create my own style in fashion. I was never behind on fashion, yet never quite "IN" fashion. Having said that, let's talk about " THE silver hair."
At first, my hair started to develop pale, very blond streaks. These out of the blue pale stripes reminded me of platinum elegance! Nice! Very nice!!! But if you gazed at it thoroughly enough, my hair was getting gray. GRAY!!!!????. Well, some might recognize it as gray hair, age, genetics, stress, etc. I see it differently. I see it simply- SILVER. I see it as PLATINUM ELEGANCE!!!! To others it might represent a sign of age. To me it portrays a photograph of a lady brushed in silver glitter, kissed by California sun, ocean breeze and sea mist. To me, my silver hair is a MYSTERY of all mysteries.
Martin Luther said: "The hair is the richest ornament of a woman". My portrait is painted silver. For now, I like it. Someday, I might paint it differently. "
I have some more photos to post over the weekend, and I am still collecting stories about silver hair which you can email to firstname.lastname@example.com. Also remember to check the sidebar and email email@example.com, she is having so much fun hearing from all of you.

Murasaki 312
this wiki
(covers information from several alternate timelines)
Murasaki 312 was a quasar-like electromagnetic phenomenon located located in the Alpha Quadrant near Makus III.
In 2267, it ionized an entire sector, including four solar systems. This quasar, and others like it, generated what was known as the Murasaki Effect.
Sensor readings from the Enterprise attempted to describe Murasaki 312:
- Negative ionic concentration - 1.64 ×109 meters
- Radiation wavelength - 370 ångströms
- Harmonics - upward along entire spectrum
Captain James T. Kirk of the USS Enterprise was under standing orders to investigate formations similar to Murasaki 312, consequently delaying the Enterprise from a medical supply mission to Makus III, and sending the shuttlecraft Galileo to survey the formation. (TOS: "The Galileo Seven")
In 2367, around stardate 44390,1, the USS Enterprise-D conducted a long-range sensor scan of the Murasaki Quasar. (TNG: "Data's Day")
Later that year, Murasaki 312 appeared on a chart in Captain Benjamin Maxwell's ready room on the USS Phoenix. (TNG: "The Wounded" display graphic)
In an alternate 2366, Murasaki 312 was marked on a tactical situation monitor showing the fleet deployments in the Federation-Klingon War. (TNG: "Yesterday's Enterprise" display graphic)

44 U.S. Code § 501 - Government printing, binding, and blank-book work to be done at Government Printing Office
prev | next
All printing, binding, and blank-book work for Congress, the Executive Office, the Judiciary, other than the Supreme Court of the United States, and every executive department, independent office and establishment of the Government, shall be done at the Government Printing Office, except—
(1) classes of work the Joint Committee on Printing considers to be urgent or necessary to have done elsewhere; and
(2) printing in field printing plants operated by an executive department, independent office or establishment, and the procurement of printing by an executive department, independent office or establishment from allotments for contract field printing, if approved by the Joint Committee on Printing.
Printing or binding may be done at the Government Printing Office only when authorized by law.
Source(Pub. L. 90–620, Oct. 22, 1968, 82 Stat. 1243.)
Historical and Revision Notes
Based on 44 U.S. Code, 1964 ed., § 111 and 116 (part) (Jan. 12, 1895, ch. 23, §§ 86, 87,28 Stat. 662; Mar. 1, 1919, ch. 86, § 11,40 Stat. 1270; July 5, 1949, ch. 296, 63 Stat. 405).
This section incorporates only the first sentence of former section 116. The balance will be found in section 1123 of the revision.
Vegetable Ink Printing
Pub. L. 103–348, Oct. 6, 1994, 108 Stat. 3133, provided that:"SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
"This Act may be cited as the 'Vegetable Ink Printing Act of 1994'.""SEC. 2. FINDINGS AND PURPOSES.
"(a) Findings.—The Congress finds the following:
"(1) More than 95 percent of Federal printing involving documents or publications is performed using lithographic inks.
"(2) Various types of oil, including petroleum and vegetable oil, are used in lithographic ink.
"(3) Increasing the amount of vegetable oil used in a lithographic ink would—
"(A) help reduce the Nation's use of nonrenewable energy resources;
"(B) result in the use of products that are less damaging to the environment;
"(C) result in a reduction of volatile organic compound emissions; and
"(D) increase the use of renewable agricultural products.
"(4) The technology exists to use vegetable oil in lithographic ink and, in some applications, to use lithographic ink that uses no petroleum distillates in the liquid portion of the ink.
"(5) Some lithographic inks have contained vegetable oils for many years; other lithographic inks have more recently begun to use vegetable oil.
"(6) According to the Government Printing Office, using vegetable oil-based ink appears to add little if any additional cost to Government printing.
"(7) Use of vegetable oil-based ink in Federal Government printing should further develop—
"(A) the commercial viability of vegetable oil-based ink, which could result in demand, for domestic use alone, for 2,500,000,000 pounds of vegetable crops or 500,000,000 pounds of vegetable oil; and
"(B) a product that could help the United States retain or enlarge its share of the world market for vegetable oil-ink.
"(b) Purpose.—The purpose of this Act is to require that all lithographic printing using ink containing oil that is performed or procured by a Federal agency shall use ink containing the maximum amounts of vegetable oil and materials derived from other renewable resources that—
"(1) are technologically feasible, and
"(2) result in printing costs that are competitive with printing using petroleum-based inks."SEC. 3. FEDERAL PRINTING REQUIREMENTS.
"(a) General Rule.—Notwithstanding any other law, and except as provided in subsection (b), a Federal agency may not perform or procure lithographic printing that uses ink containing oil if the ink contains less than the following percentage of vegetable oil:
"(1) In the case of news ink, 40 percent.
"(2) In the case of sheet-fed ink, 20 percent.
"(3) In the case of forms ink, 20 percent.
"(4) In the case of heat-set ink, 10 percent.
"(b) Exceptions.—
"(1) Exceptions.—Subsection (a) shall not apply to lithographic printing performed or procured by a Federal agency, if—
"(A) the head of the agency determines, after consultation with the Public Printer and within the 3-year period ending on the date of the commencement of the printing or the date of that procurement, respectively, that vegetable oil-based ink is not suitable to meet specific, identified requirements of the agency related to the printing; or
"(B) the Public Printer determines—
"(i) within the 3-month period ending on the date of the commencement of the printing, in the case of printing of materials that are printed at intervals of less than 6 months, or
"(ii) before the date of the commencement of the printing, in the case of printing of materials that are printed at intervals of 6 months or more;that the cost of performing the printing using vegetable oil-based ink is significantly greater than the cost of performing the printing using other available ink.
"(2) Notice to congress.—Not later than 30 days after making a determination under paragraph (1)(A), the head of a Federal agency shall report the determination to the Committee on Government Operations [now Committee on Oversight and Government Reform] and the Committee on House Administration of the House of Representatives, and the Committee on Rules of the Senate.
"(c) Federal Agency Defined.—In this Act, the term 'Federal agency' means—
"(1) an executive department, military department, Government corporation, Government-controlled corporation, or other establishment in the executive branch of the Government (including the Executive Office of the President), or any independent regulatory agency; and
"(2) an establishment or component of the legislative or judicial branch of the Government."
Government Publications: Printing; GPO Procurement; Executive Branch Procurement of Certain Kinds of Printing; "Printing" Defined
Pub. L. 102–392, title II, § 207(a),Oct. 6, 1992, 106 Stat. 1719, as amended by Pub. L. 103–283, title II, § 207,July 22, 1994, 108 Stat. 1440; Pub. L. 104–201, div.

"(1) None of the funds appropriated for any fiscal year may be obligated or expended by any entity of the executive branch for the procurement of any printing related to the production of Government publications (including printed forms), unless such procurement is by or through the Government Printing Office.
"(2) Paragraph (1) does not apply to (A) individual printing orders costing not more than $1,000, if the work is not of a continuing or repetitive nature, and, as certified by the Public Printer, if the work is included in a class of work which cannot be provided more economically through the Government Printing Office, (B) printing for the Central Intelligence Agency, the Defense Intelligence Agency, National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency, or the National Security Agency, or (C) printing from other sources that is specifically authorized by law.
"(3) As used in this section, the term 'printing' includes the processes of composition, platemaking, presswork, duplicating, silk screen processes, binding, microform, and the end items of such processes."

MIAMI — Despite an outcry from civil rights groups, a call for close examination by President Barack Obama and even a 1960s-style sit-in at the Florida governor's office, the jury's verdict that George Zimmerman was justified in shooting unarmed teenager Trayvon Martin is unlikely to spur change to any of the nation's stand-your-ground self-defense laws.
"I support 'stand your ground,' " Arizona Republican Gov. Jan Brewer said last week.
"I do not see any reason to change it," said Georgia Gov. Nathan Deal, also a Republican.
At least 21 states have laws similar to that in Florida, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures. Many are conservative and lean toward laws that defend gun owners' rights. So far, there does not appear to be an appetite in Florida or other states to repeal or change the laws, which generally eliminate a person's duty to retreat in the face of a serious physical threat. In fact, some states are moving in the opposite direction.
"The debate about stand-your-ground laws largely reproduces existing divisions in American politics, particularly between blacks and whites and between Democrats and Republicans," said John Sides, associate professor of political science at George Washington University.
Since the 2005 law was enacted, justifiable homicides in Florida have risen from an annual average of 13.2 between 2001 and 2005 to an average of 42 between 2006 and 2012, including a record 66 in 2012, according to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement. FBI data have shown similar increases in some states.
In fact, in states with stand-your-ground laws similar to Florida's, the trend has been toward greater gun rights. In Oklahoma, for example, lawmakers in 2012 passed an "open-carry" measure that allows people with a concealed-carry permit to now display their handguns openly in a holster.
Republican Sen. John McCain urged state legislatures to review their stand-your-ground statutes — including the one in his home state of Arizona.
But Charles Ogletree, a Harvard Law School professor who taught both Barack and Michelle Obama, warned: "The reality is that this is not a federal issue. This is a state issue."
Who has the laws
Beyond Florida, these states have some form of a stand-your-ground law, according to the national group: Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Georgia, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Mississippi, Montana, Nevada, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Utah and West Virginia.
