UK ATC at the SUPA annual gathering exhibition in Glasgow
25th May 2016
The UK ATC was present at the exhibition which forms part of the SUPA (Scotish Universities Physics Alliance) annual gathering that was held on Wednesday 25th 2016.
The UK ATC stand featured near-future projects such as MIRI including a model and prototype hardware and the E-ELT where a hologram was used to show the telescope design and scale. Also on display was an image slicer demonstration that is an up-scaled version of the slicers used in MIRI and other UK ATC built instruments. The demonstrator shows in a very direct and simple way and at a much larger scale how image slicers work.
SUPA comprises eight Scottish Universities (Aberdeen, Dundee, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Heriot Watt, St Andrews, Strathclyde and UWS) which have come together to form a research alliance in Physics.
The greatest movie ever made
19 May 2015
The World's first motion picture of our Universe, being dubbed the 'greatest movie ever made', is to be produced by international astronomers.
The film, which could feature dangerous asteroids and uncover some of the mysteries of dark matter and dark energy, will be recorded on a giant digital camera comprising 3.2 billion pixels.
It hasn't been completed yet, but when it is, the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST) will be the World's largest digital camera. It will be able to take images of the sky that each cover over 40 times the area of the moon, building up a survey of the entire visible sky in just three nights.)

Gas that fuels star formation identified
18th November 2015
Astronomers have identified for the first time one of the key components of many stars, a University study suggests.
A type of gas found in the voids between galaxies - known as atomic gas - can be part of the star formation process under certain conditions, researchers say.
It was previously thought that stars could form only in the presence of a different type of gas - called molecular gas.
Galaxies show appetite for growth
5th August 2015
The extent to which galaxies consume one another has been revealed in research. Findings from the study help to explain how galaxies such as the Milky Way were formed. A team of scientists has used a highly sensitive instrument on one of the world's largest telescopes to witness a dominant galaxy ingesting the stars of its near neighbours.

Virtual reality headset opens up immersive astronomy
7th July 2015
Edinburgh astronomers have combined the new Oculus Rift virtual reality headset with Stellarium planetarium software to produce an exciting and immersive way to explore the sky.
The system, known as StarsightVR, was demonstrated live at the National Astronomy Meeting in Llandudno, and will soon be available as a shared group experience to anyone with a headset and an Internet connection.
PhD researcher Alastair Bruce and his supervisor Prof. Andy Lawrence adapted the Stellarium software to create StarsightVR. Bruce saw potential for the Oculus Rift headset, which is expected to be popular in the gaming industry when it goes on sale in 2016, to be adapted for use by astronomy enthusiasts. A prototype version of the system was well received by audiences during a preview at the Edinburgh International Science Festival.
Deep space images aid dark matter study
9th July 2015
New images of deep space are helping shed light on the material that accounts for more than 80 per cent of the universe.
The images are the first from an international project that seeks to aid understanding of dark matter - how much of it is contained, and how it is distributed, in groups of galaxies - such as the group that houses the Milky Way.
The study is also hoped to improve scientists knowledge of how galaxies are formed.
Being able to explain dark matter would represent a major scientific breakthrough.
PhD Research Project
Design and prototyping a compact spectrometer for monitoring atmospheric CH4 from space
05 June 2015
Please note that funding is restricted to students.
In this project you will design a new compact CH4 spectrograph, in collaboration with a multinational aerospace company, which can be carried on small, unmanned airborne platforms, to address the measurements required to detect fugitive emissions. We anticipate that the design and demonstration of such an instrument will underpin future developments in small satellite (e.g. CubeSat) mission concepts that address greenhouse gas monitoring of international agreements.
Supervisors: Paul Palmer (U. Edinburgh) and Dave Lee (Astronomy Technology Centre, STFC, Edinburgh)
The successful student will start in September 2015
Astronomers shed light on mysterious nature of dark matter
26th March 2015
Scientists have furthered their understanding of dark matter, the elusive material that accounts for much of the mass of the Universe.
They used NASA telescopes to study how dark matter behaved during cosmic crashes between galaxies in deep space. Each collision took hundreds of millions of years, and is captured as a freeze-frame from a single camera angle.
Their findings show that dark matter interacts with itself even less than was previously thought. It improves scientists understanding of the mysterious substance, and helps pinpoint what it might be made of.
Death of Vincent Reddish, former Astronomer Royal
7th January 2015
On Friday Jan 2nd 2015, Vincent Reddish, former Astronomer Royal, Director of the Royal Observatory and Regius Professor of Astronomy, sadly passed away.
Vincent was born in 1926, and studied and worked at UCL, Manchester and Edinburgh, eventually becoming Director of ROE in 1975, until 1980 when he retired to private life. During the 1960s and 1970s Reddish was a key part of the drive for modern automation at ROE, and the leading force behind the creation of COSMOS, the UK Schmidt, and UKIRT.

First surface map of a brown dwarf shows extraterrestrial weather patterns
29th January 2014
Astronomers have presented the first detailed study of the atmospheric features – the extraterrestrial weather patterns – of a brown dwarf (an object intermediate between planets and stars). The results include the first surface map of a brown dwarf and measurements at different wavelengths probing the atmosphere at different depths. They mark the beginning of an era in which astronomers will be able to compare models for cloud formation on brown dwarfs – and, eventually, on giant gas planets in distant star systems – with observations. The results are published in the January 30, 2014 issue of the journal Nature and in Astrophysical Journal Letters.

Green Mountain Power fined more over Lowell WindThe Associated Press | February 07,2013LOWELL — Vermont utility regulators have fined Green Mountain Power $30,000 stemming from five violations in its permit to ship turbine parts to an industrial wind-power project last year.
The utility had reached a settlement that included a $7,500 fine over the violations with the state Department of Public Service. Regulators on the Vermont Public Service Board accepted the settlement, but disagreed with the amount.
Board members said a higher penalty is warranted for violating the transportation plan, the Caledonian-Record reports.
The investigation into alleged violations began during Green Mountain Power's shipments across Vermont of parts to the Lowell wind project.
The board said the utility acknowledges that the proceeding reiterated the importance of flawless compliance.MORE IN This Just InHARTFORD, Conn.

The Intertwining of Transposable Elements and Non-Coding RNAs

AbstractGrowing evidence shows a close association of transposable elements (TE) with non-coding RNAs (ncRNA), and a significant number of small ncRNAs originate from TEs. Further, ncRNAs linked with TE sequences participate in a wide-range of regulatory functions. Alu elements in particular are critical players in gene regulation and molecular pathways. Alu sequences embedded in both long non-coding RNAs (lncRNA) and mRNAs form the basis of targeted mRNA decay via short imperfect base-pairing. Imperfect pairing is prominent in most ncRNA/target RNA interactions and found throughout all biological kingdoms. The piRNA-Piwi complex is multifunctional, but plays a major role in protection against invasion by transposons. This is an RNA-based genetic immune system similar to the one found in prokaryotes, the CRISPR system. Thousands of long intergenic non-coding RNAs (lincRNAs) are associated with endogenous retrovirus LTR transposable elements in human cells. These TEs can provide regulatory signals for lincRNA genes. A surprisingly large number of long circular ncRNAs have been discovered in human fibroblasts. These serve as "sponges" for miRNAs. Alu sequences, encoded in introns that flank exons are proposed to participate in RNA circularization via Alu/Alu base-pairing. Diseases are increasingly found to have a TE/ncRNA etiology. A single point mutation in a SINE/Alu sequence in a human long non-coding RNA leads to brainstem atrophy and death. On the other hand, genomic clusters of repeat sequences as well as lncRNAs function in epigenetic regulation. Some clusters are unstable, which can lead to formation of diseases such as facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy. The future may hold more surprises regarding diseases associated with ncRNAs andTEs.

Tomatoes of Wrath
Posted on Sep 26, 2011
By Chris Hedges
(Page 2)
"Publix has a cabal of labor relations, human relations and public relations employees who very frequently descend from corporate headquarters in Lakeland, Fla.—or one of their regional offices—and show up at our demonstrations," says Rodrigues. "They watch us with or without cameras. They constantly attempt to deflect us: If we attempt to speak to consumers or store managers these people will intercept us and try to guide us away. These people in suits and ties come up to us and refer to us by our first names—as if they know us—in a sort of bizarre, naked attempt at intimidation."
If you live in a community that has a Whole Foods, which is the only major supermarket chain to sign the agreement, shop there and send a letter to competing supermarkets telling them that you will not return as a customer until they too sign the CIW Fair Food Agreement. Details about planned protests around the country can be found on the CIW website.
Workers in the fields earn about 50 cents for picking a bucket containing 32 pounds of tomatoes. These workers make only $10,000 to $12,000 a year, much of which they send home. The $10,000-$12,000 range, because it includes the higher pay of supervisors, means the real wages of the pickers are usually less than $10,000 a year. Wages have remained stagnant since 1980. A worker must pick 2.25 tons of tomatoes to make minimum wage during one of the grueling 10-hour workdays. This is twice what they had to pick 30 years ago for the same amount of money. Most workers pick about 150 buckets a day. And these workers have been rendered powerless by law. In Florida, collective bargaining is illegal, one of the legacies of Jim Crow practices designed to keep blacks poor and disempowered. Today the ban on collective bargaining serves the same purpose in thwarting the organizing efforts of the some 30,000 Hispanic, Mayan and Haitian agricultural laborers who plant and harvest 30,000 acres of tomatoes.
The CIW, which organized a nationwide boycott in 2001 against Taco Bell, forced several major fast food chains including Yum Brands, McDonald's, Burger King, Subway, Whole Foods Market, Compass Group, Bon Appétit Management Co., Aramark and Sodexo to sign the agreement, which demands more humane labor standards from their Florida tomato suppliers and an increase of a penny per bucket. But if the major supermarkets too do not sign this agreement, growers who verbally, sexually and physically abuse workers will be able to continue selling tomatoes to the supermarkets. This could leave at least half of all the fields without protection, making uniform enforcement of the agreement throughout the fields difficult if not impossible.
Square, Site wide
"Supply chains are very opaque and secretive," says Gerardo Reyes, a farmworker and CIW staff member. "This is one of the reasons a lot of these abuses continue. The corporations can always feign that they did not know the abuses were happening or that they had any responsibility for them as long as there is no transparency or accountability."
One of the most celebrated modern cases of fieldworker slavery was uncovered in November 2007 after three workers escaped from a box truck in which they had been locked. They and 12 others had been held as slaves for two and a half years. They had to relieve themselves in a corner of the truck at night and pay five dollars if they wanted to bathe with a garden hose. They were routinely beaten. Some were chained to poles at times. During the days they worked on some of the largest farms in Florida. It was the seventh such documented case of slavery in a decade.
"As long as the supermarket industry refuses to sign this agreement it gives the growers an escape," says Reyes. "We need to bring the pressure of more buyers who will sign the agreement to protect the workers. We have gotten all of the major corporations within the fast food industry and food providers to sign this agreement. Two of the three most important buyers within the industry are on board. But if these supermarkets continue to hold out they can put all the mechanisms we have set in place for control at risk. If Wal-Mart, Trader Joe's and other supermarkets say the only criteria is buying from those growers who offer the lowest possible price then we will not be able to curb abuses. If the agreement is in place and there is another case of slavery then the growers will be put in a penalty box. If we do not have the ability to impose penalties then there will always be a way for abusive growers to sell. The agreement calls on these corporations to stop buying from growers, for example, that use slave labor. Without the agreement there is no check on these practices."
"Supermarkets, such as Trader Joe's, insist they are responsible and fair," Reyes goes on. "They use their public relations to present themselves as a good corporation. They sell this idea of fairness, this disguise. They use this more sophisticated public relations campaign, one that presents them as a friend of workers, while at the same time locking workers out of the discussion and kicking us out of the room. They want business as usual. They do not want people to question how their profits are created. We have to fight not only them but this sophisticated public relations tactic. We are on the verge of a systemic change, but corporations like Trader Joe's are using all their power to push us back."
Members and supporters of the Coalition of Immokalee Workers will march from a Trader Joe's store at 604 W. Huntington Dr. in Monrovia, Calif., to the market chain's headquarters a mile away, starting at noon Oct. 21. The farmworkers organization is demanding that Trader Joe's support the human rights of the men and women who harvest tomatoes sold in its stores.

|Jesse Jackson with Jesse Jackson, Jr.
Legal Lynching is an impassioned rebuttal to advocates of the death penalty: legal executions are unjustly administered, are morally indefensible and fail to deter crime. A comprehensive rejection of the knee-jerk solution to the rise in violent crime, Legal Lynching comprises a history of state-sponsored execution, a consideration of the statistical evidence, an examination of scriptural justification for the taking of a life, and, most chilling, the true-life stories of those condemned to die who were later found to be innocent. With eloquent determination, Jackson examines the recent history of the death penalty. He reflects on high-profile cases, such as that of Mumia Abu-Jamal; assesses the state of the opposition movement; and reveals irrefutable discrepancies in the implementation of the death penalty based on race, class, sex, and geography. By giving lie to the notion that justice is administered blindly and fairly in the life-and-death cases, Jackson's exposition is an inspiring call to action.

[ARCHIVE] Simple Questions (SEARCH BEFORE ASKING A QUESTION)
View Single Post
May 15th, 2013 (3:34 PM).
Join Date:
May 2013
Hey guys, this is my second time writing this post because apparently I can't post URL's until after 15 posts which is understandable. Anyway I apologize if these questions have been asked before but I have searched through multiple guides and done searches in almost every forum but can't find an answer.
Firstly, and most importantly, how does one change the introductory scenes of emerald/sapphire/ruby (the events once you are actually in game, not talking to Birch and naming your character)? I have deleted all events and reworked the maps etc. but no matter what I do when I play my ROM I end up back in the moving van and am greeted by my invisible mom. I'm sure there have to be hidden scripts or something but I can't find them.
Secondly, I was glancing through the ROM Hacking Resources and noticed that many people were posting sprites or tile sets. How do I get those tiles/sprites into advance map. I'm sure there is a different process for both so I am requesting an answer for each.
Finally, if there is a guide that includes either of these I would be more than happy to look through it. Thanks in advance for your help.

Hardcore Gisele Bundchen enjoys double penetrationApril 12th, 2016 by jayq
Brazilian fashion model, Gisele Bundchen, is one of the most sought-after models in the industry. She has graced a lot of magazine covers, men's shoots, and fashion shows. She's been travelling the world, meeting a lot of clients and prospects for her future projects and while these activities may seem to eat a lot of her time and energy, Gisele is not the diva type of model who would just sit back and relax at spas sipping margaritas. To relax, Bundchen has a more appealing way of spending her free time and one you can't call a 'me time' since she invites over some of her buddies in the business to keep her company.
Some models meet up with trainers for everyday jog and yoga practice, some concoct disgusting 'healthy' protein shakes in their kitchen every single morning just to keep their body tight and fit. Gisele Bundchen has tried all these before but it only ends up with her gaining more weight for no apparent reason so she thought of another plan that actually works. For her at least. She gave a new meaning to working out and this is her fucking rough with two men at a time, having her ass and cunt stuffed at the same time as she balances herself in between them, grinding furiously until she sweats a whole lot. Whenever she sweats, she loses fats and so it's her effective way of losing weight. Sounds brilliant, eh? She's getting more what she bargained for, so to speak. Having fun in this double penetration fuck sesh and maintaining her slim and sexy built. Smart chick and she has this video for us to enjoy too. It's no biggie for her manager as he is also one of her playmates in these naughty sport of hers.

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork/AP) — An extra-alarm fire broke out Friday evening in a Harlem building housing a fried chicken resident.
Six firefighters were injured — one seriously — in the three-alarm blaze, which the FDNY said broke out around 7 p.m. at Mama's Fried Chicken, at 300 W. 155th St.
As of 10:30 p.m., one firefighter had suffered a serious, but non-life-threatening injury. The other five suffered minor injuries.
More than 30 units and 100 firefighters were sent to the scene, and used tower ladders to extinguish the fire from the outside.
But the fire was not under control as of 10:30 p.m., and had spread to another building.
Several other businesses in the two-story building were also affected.
WCBS 880's Monica Miller spoke to someone who was working at a deli in the building, which was rendered a shell of itself.
He said he started to smell smoke around 6 or 7 p.m., and he evacuated the store with his customers.
By 10 p.m., at least a dozen firefighters were still staged under the Macombs Dam Bridge at 155th Street.
The smoke was so bad at one point that some residents put their shirts over their mouths just so they could breathe.

Hades abducting Persephone
From the WIkipedia: In Greek mythology, Persephone (in modern English—also called Kore) is the daughter of Zeus and the harvest goddess Demeter, and queen of the underworld; she was abducted from her mother by Hades.
The myth of her abduction represents her function as the personification of vegetation which shoots forth in spring and withdraws into the earth after harvest; hence she is also associated with spring and with the seeds of the fruits of the fields.

"What BB&T is against is using eminent domain for private development of private property. That's the key component: Private use is an abuse of eminent domain."
Related quotes
"I don't agree that it shouldn't all be in the public domain. In fact I think it all should be in the public domain... it's private land, not public land, which means that if we're gonna get it back, and I'll use that term advisedly, it has to be purchased rather than just change the law on how it's gonna be managed. .. It should be all of it. There may be different solutions for different particular places, but it should all be treated together. Be unreasonable. You can do it."
"Private residential property is never an asset,unless one uses it to obtain loan to grow ones business,it then becomes a veritable asset,for private residential property is just an ego booster."
"Florida's laws are one of the worst in the country for using eminent domain for private development. It is absolutely terrible."
"The only people who support the use of eminent domain for private development are cities that use it, developers and businesses that benefit from it and planners who plan it. Everyone else hates it."
"I'm not in favor of allowing a foreign contractor to come in a build a toll road using eminent domain."
"The city seized my property in eminent domain to widen 4th Avenue. Now I'm paying rent on property I owned three months ago."

Date: October 2011
While on her "Loud" tour, Rihanna stopped in France for a show, to debut a few new outfits and display a few crotch grabs throughout the show. Shocking? Not really. Male stars grip their bozack onstage all the time. But the touching got even more intense in her video for "You Da One"-along with some serious air humping.

I got a letter advertising a magnetic bracelet for $5.00. I sent money for 2 bracelets, and have been getting 2 to 3 letters per day promising 'tokens', and luck and more success than i ever dreamed possible. Never received the beacelets, ony more letters.
I sent a letter asking for bracelets, or a refund of my original 10 dollars. Now i am getting letters from her every day, and no response to my request. If she and/or subs are paying postage, they have spent way more money than she will ever receive from me.

- San Jose council approves policies for police drone
- Apr 9:
- San Jose: Commission to endorse one-year pilot for police drone
- Mar 16:
- Memo: San Jose police aim to have officer-worn cameras by next year, working drone by 2017
- Dec 6:
- San Jose: Drone debate continues as SJPD details proposed use guidelines
- Aug 5:
- San Jose: Police apologize for drone secrecy, promise transparency
The first mistake the San Jose Police Department made was buying a drone without first finding out if the community was comfortable with it.
The second was fumbling requests for information when people heard rumors.
The third, after the ACLU and others raised alarms, was responding in essence: Trust us!
Which was not an option. See numbers one and two.
On Tuesday the department finally issued a real apology for all this. OK. Apology accepted.
Now how about the mayor and city council?
Police agencies need to be sensitive to public opinion to be effective, but they're not elected. The folks who've gotten off the hook here are Mayor Chuck Reed and the City Council. They passed the drone purchase as part of the consent calendar for items so routine they don't require debate. Now they need to publicly pass a requirement to keep the drone in its box until rules have been set for its use -- including transparency, outside oversight and accountability.
And those rules will need to be in an ordinance, not just police department policy.
Other communities -- San Francisco and Alameda counties, as examples -- have rejected buying drones for law enforcement based on their communities' response. Fear of being spied upon by government in our homes and meeting places is very real; it's been done in living memory in this country, most notably on civil rights and anti-war activists -- nearly always with a public safety justification at the time. And that was before technology of various kinds made spying easier.
Still, drones could help find missing people, assess damage in a disaster area or, the stated purpose of San Jose's drone, help disarm bombs. It's one more piece of ethically-neutral technology that can be used for good or ill. We need a public consensus on whether it's possible to sufficiently control the use so that good wins out.
Perhaps through community outreach and public discussion, the San Jose City Council can arrive at rules and oversight provisions that make residents comfortable with a drone. We'll keep an open mind. But given the way this has gotten started, don't be surprised if the cops end up having to wrap it up and send it back.
