Statements of the selectmen hopefuls
Raymond Dennehy
The biggest issue before our community at this time is the successful completion of the Master Plan. As a cochairman of the Master Plan Steering Committee I'm looking forward to helping our community build a meaningful document that will be instrumental in guiding Princeton into the future. A successful Master Plan is imperative to allow our community to shape its future.
Currently, I own a real estate appraisal and consulting firm based in Princeton. We provide consulting advice for issues relating to seniors housing throughout New England. We study housing affordability issues relative to seniors. I understand the pressures of increased costs of home ownership, including real estate taxes, and maintenance needs for seniors. Furthermore, I am the one candidate that deals with understanding seniors housing issues on a day to day basis at a professional level. I am committed to addressing this issue because I understand the benefits of having seniors remain where they want to live and the impact of these housing issues on seniors in our community.
During the last five years I have served an elected position on the planning board; the last three years as its chairman. During this time period we have tackled many complex issues. I believe that the actions of the planning board during this time have been well thought out and in the best interest of the town. I believe that a key quality I bring to the position of selectman is the practice of making informed and objective decisions. I don't come to this position with an agenda. I will approach each issue with an objective attitude and I will pay considerable attention to the evidence before us. I will continue asking tough questions and making sure that all points of the argument have been considered before decisions are made. My experience as a three-time elected official
and chairman of the planning board provides necessary
experience to be a selectman. Edith Morgan
The agenda item that both my opponent and I share
a desire to have a successful Princeton Master Plan Study, but my experience and thoughts are much more extensive. I've been a member of the Advisory Board for over five years and vice chair for three, which has given me a good insight into our town operations, problems and visions. I've worked on the Senior Tax Relief Study Committee, and currently three Master Plan subcommittees: Economic Development, Public Services and Facilities, and Vision, Goals and Implementation.
As a member of the board of selectman, I'll bring my extensive experience as a creative problem solver and successful business person to the board to save tax dollars where we can and move forward with improvements where desirable
I have met with Tom Pandisico, our new school superintendent and look forward to his sharing his educational philosophy and future plans with us. I will work hard to unite the Princeton community to join together in making the Thomas Prince School an outstanding place of learning. With good leadership, we can do it.
I believe I have that good leadership ability. Having lived in Princeton for over 44 years I have a good sense of the Princeton people and history. During my campaign, I have enjoyed and learned much talking to people from various parts of town. As your select board member I will continue to listen to you and strive to address your concerns. We all agree that Princeton is a great place to live and I want to help keep it a great place to live for us and future generations.
I need your vote so I can be more effective in these goals.

I agree. But again, money does the talking in our society. Rarely does it establish an individual as worthy, intelligent or highly regarded. It just says they have money.
My biggest beef with employers though is the use of credit scores to garner employment. Show me a poor, dependent on loans college student, that doesn't have a minor mishap with their credit. The use of credit checks to value an employee leaves a lot of otherwise talented people on the sidelines.
I've encountered plenty of creepy people people with money and perfect credit scores. It doesn't mean a thing. It does, however, mean they gain influence and power in certain circles.
Jessica, please write this post and explain it to me.
There is a huge misconception about HOW credit reports are used in employment…
The biggest is the use of scores. Employers do NOT use the scores. In fact, when employers pull credit as part of background checks, the scores are not included so there's not even a chance that the recruiter could decide to use it on the down low.
General creditworthiness is not typically an actual consideration… however, when it is reviewed, it's more from the standpoint of major issues with credit (multiple bankruptcies, multiple deliquencies over an extended period of time… i.e. probably not associated with recent job loss or medical issues, but more showing a history of poor financial decisions)
When the reports (not scores) are pulled in certain cases, the most common reasons are:
* in financial institutions… even a lock box clerk in a bank may have their credit pulled, but essentially it's to ensure employees don't have any delinquent accounts with any of the bank's customers, as employee's with access to systems could potentially alter their own accounts. However, even still – most times, the applicant is given the opportunity to clear up deliquent accounts and an offer is still extended.
** secondarily to this is that financial crimes are well-documented as "crimes of opportunity" and are very rarely pre-meditated. I once had to investigate an embezzlement by an employee who realized (due to this small companies poor checks and balances) that she had access to writing checks that only required one signature; as well as checking the mail whereby she was able to deposit checks received that no one even knew about into her own account. She started off small…thinking she would just "borrow" it to make a house payment, and eventually got the company for over $200K
* in financial positions… for the above reason. People with access to bank accounts, budgets, etc…
* as part of a background check for the purposes of determining if Joe Schmoe has recent credit history in another state, but didn't report living in said state. The employer never even sees the report in this instance, but the background check agency will use this information as a trigger to run criminal history in the additional state.
Thank you Carrie for the information. I appreciate the depth you went to in your explanation.
I have seen people embezzle and get caught and then go to work elsewhere without a moments notice or regret. Shameful.
I do though believe that to use it as a blanket screen process still shorts some worthy individuals. If there were only a silver bullet. ;o)
At our firm we've found that conducting keyword research is important for figuring out the types of content our market is interested in and how people are searching.
We've been blogging for three years now, but it wasn't until we found a focus and considered the SEO aspect in the last year that we gained measurable results. Writing randomly without focusing on specific, researched topics can often be a dangerous waste of time (I speak from experience).
With that being said, there is certainly a range of approaches to blogging. I've talked to some experts that are extremely focused on SEO and every post must be keyword rich. Other experts approach blogging differently. They concentrate on creating content that is engaging and 'link-worthy' (so that it spreads quickly in social media). It seems to me that finding a balance between these two approaches would be ideal….but easier said than done.
Thanks for the great topic Jessica.
I seriously love your blog.. Very nice colors & theme. Did you build this amazing site yourself? Please reply back as I'm attempting to create my own site and would love to find out where you got this from or what the theme is called. Thanks!

I've heard that the Hiwassee is a great river to float, but that it can get pretty treacherous. I've got a 15' low profile drift boat. Is it suitable to do the float? Also, where is the best place to put in and take out? Any other pointers would be appreciated, thanks.
Floating the Hi
You have been told right. The Hiwassee is a great river to float, and it can be treacherous.
LP boats are more likely to take on water on the Hi. With their low cut they tend to take on more splash from white water. It can be done in a low profile, just may need to bail a little water after dropping a few places.
There are three put-ins and take outs on the upper section of the river from Reliance to the Powerhouse all of them being public. There is one in Reliance, one at Towee Creek and one at the Powerhouse.
The float from the Powerhouse to Towee is a relative short float (+/- 2 miles) but is the easiest to make. Fox's is really the only white water you will face and as long as you follow the heaviest flow of water you will do just fine.
From Towee to Reliance is about a +/- 4 mile float. The river from here takes on a different character and becomes more turbulent and rocky. Towee is a good boat banger and soaker if you don't line up right as is Big Bend, the Stair Steps, and Devil Shoals.
Big Bend is a place that will hang your boat up as is the Stair Steps. It is a bit easier to get your boat unstuck in Big Bend than it is in the Steps. The Steps is the place that gives most people fits and it has also claimed a few boats over the years. The line through it can be difficult and if you get stuck, becoming unstuck can too be a bear. Devil Shoals is not so hard to navigate but is a place that is capable of swamping a boat because of the amount of water that rushes through it. I remember when rowing the LP that this would be the drop that would take on the most water. Heck I still take on water sometimes making this run, just not as much as I use to.
The best advice I can give is this. I would go out on low water and survey these areas and make sure you are comfortable with them and see what lies beneath the water before TVA turns on the wheels. Then I would run the upper section and take out at Towee before doing the whole section of the river above Reliance. This would allow you to gauge how comfortable you are with the river instead of trying the run the entire run at once.
Oh yeah, make sure you have all required PFD's on you as you float. They will ticket for this if you do not have them.
You can't depend on your judgement when your imagination is out of focus. - Mark Twain

November 25, 2013 BY Aaron Hope / 7
It was announced last month that the Air Jordan II would drop three colorways in the second quarter of next year. Whether this new style pictured above is one of those remains to be seen, but this is the first look we're getting at a pair of AJ2s for the coming year. This one is black and grey with red trim, something of a Jordan 2 answer to the Cool Grey/Infrared Jordan 10. Both styles are coming up for 2014 with release dates that will be announced in the coming days, so stick with Sneaker News for the latest and let us know your first impression on this new pair of Twos.

"You make my heart see color…" -Barcelona
Danielle and Sona are wonderful, for more than just the obvious reasons. They are adorable together, balancing the tender moments with lots of laughter. They share a strong love for animals (bunnies cats, dogs, you name it- they've got it!), they support each other thoroughly, and after many years together they are excited to take the next step- marriage! It is such a pleasure to be around them, and Danielle is also a super talented photographer- extra bonus for me! She had a vision for their engagement session, from the clothes to the locations, and the results are beyond cute. Although I can't take the credit for the details, I am so pleased with these photos and could stare at them for hours. I am so flattered to be documenting these two- and I can't wait for their wedding next month! (Check out Danielle's amazing work: www.danielleaquilinephotography.com)

Course: BIOEN 337 – Mass Transport and Systems Laboratory
Credits: 2
Instructor: Alyssa Taylor
Texts and Supplemental Materials: None. Readings will be assigned from the mass transport and systems texts in BIOEN 335 and BIOEN 336. Each lab project will have a handout with background, procedure, and reference to appropriate literature. Journal articles may be assigned as outside reading to reinforce concepts discussed in lecture and to provide real-world bioengineering context for the lab experiments.
UW Catalog Description: Computational and experimental laboratory exercises to demonstrate time- and space-dependent linear and nonlinear systems with specific emphasis on bioengineering applications.
Instructor Overview:
This course is designed to reinforce and provide in-depth, hands-on exploration of the topics covered in BIOEN 335 (Mass Transport and Kinetics in Biological Systems) and BIOEN 336 (Bioengineering Systems and Control). Lab projects will involve the analysis and control of linear and nonlinear systems, involving both ODE and PDE solution approaches. Labs will involve practical lab applications in bioengineering such as mass transport, electrical systems, enzyme kinetics and control systems. In addition to wet-lab and instrumentation-based experiments, emphasis will also be placed on computational analysis of the systems and acquired data. Computational projects will use MATLAB or LabVIEW.
Prerequisites by Course: BIOEN 327, and STAT 390 or IND E 315.
Corequisites: Requires concurrent registration with BIOEN 335 and 336.
Prerequisites by Topic: Probability and statistics, differential equations, biotransport I (momentum and heat), linear algebra, computational numerical methods (MATLAB), circuit building.
Required or Elective: Required
Course Schedule: One three hour formal lab period per week. Students are expected to spend additional time in lab or on analysis (~3 hours per week).
Computer Use: Requires word-processing software for preparing lab reports and the term project, and on-line access to communicate via email and download materials from the course web site. Most computational projects will use MATLAB or LabVIEW. Excel or other statistical analysis software may be required for data analysis and plotting. ImageJ (NIH) will be needed for the 1-D diffusion lab and can be downloaded for free.
Course Outcomes and Assessment: This course presents, through weekly lab exercises, an opportunity for students to engage in practical exploration of concepts involving mass transport and systems analysis and control. As such, this course addresses certain ABET student learning outcomes at a variety of levels.
Specific Outcomes: By the end of the course, students should be able to:
- Use a model to predict an outcome and carry out experiments to validate predictions.
- Use statistics to determine how noise in data affects system analysis.
- Implement a feedback controller.
- Work effectively in interdisciplinary teams to complete projects.
- Document experimental findings.
Outcomes Addressed by this Course:
B. An ability to design and conduct experiments, as well as analyze and interpret data.
- Design and conduct an experiment then analyze and interpret the data in order to test model predictions.
This course is entirely lab-based, and students will be required to design and execute experiments on a weekly basis, as well as implement quantitative techniques to analyze and ultimately interpret their results. Student competency will be assessed primarily through an individually-based written report, in which students will use a computational model of 1-D diffusion to generate predictions of concentration profiles and compare those predictions to experimentally-acquired data of 1-D diffusion in a gel. Students need to design the experiment by creating their experimental set-up, decide on time points, etc. and afterwards they conduct the experiment.
D. An ability to function on multi-disciplinary teams.
- Work effectively in interdisciplinary teams to complete projects by:
- Attending work group sessions
- Fulfilling assigned team roles
- Contributing to group work effort
- Listening to team mates
- Cooperating and consulting with team mates.
Most laboratory exercises in this course require that students work in groups of 3-4 (dependent on enrollment). Although all students are from the BIOE major, students by their junior years have often already specialized in a sub-discipline of BIOE. Thus, students are able to work with their peers who may have different interests and strengths. Students must work as a team to collectively design experimental procedures, carry out the experiment, analyze data, interpret data, and generate a lab report. Assessment of this outcome will be conducted through a section of the lab report that describes each team member's role in the collective effort. Peer evaluations complemented by instructor observations will also be used to assess group work skills via a team work grading rubric.
G. An ability to communicate effectively.
- Document experimental findings
Lab modules will require documentation of lab procedures, results, analysis, and conclusions. Students will practice their written communication skills as they report on the execution and results of each lab module. One key skill for BIOEN undergraduates to learn is the practice of keeping a lab notebook. Clear and complete documentation of lab work is required in research labs of universities and non-profit institutions, as well as in industry. Students will thus be given guidelines on how to keep a proper lab notebook (recognizing that the format of a lab notebook may change depending on the setting). The ability of students to communicate effectively will be assessed through lab notebooks, which will be checked at the end of each lab session and collected and twice per quarter.
K. An ability to use the techniques, skills, and modern engineering tools necessary for engineering practice (computer and analytical lab equipment).
- Implement a feedback controller
Labs will involve the use of modern laboratory techniques and equipment (i.e. spectrophotometer), as well as computational tools for both data acquisition and subsequent analysis (i.e. MATLAB and LabVIEW). The ability of students to utilize these tools will be assessed primarily with an individually-based lab report in which students will describe the design and implementation of a PID feedback controller.
M. The capability to apply advanced mathematics (including differential equations and statistics), science, and engineering to solve the problems at the interface of engineering and biology.
- Use statistics to determine how noise in data affects system analysis
This course involves the use of quantitative mathematical tools to analyze behavior of biological systems. Labs will involve the use of ordinary and partial differential equations, for instance in the analysis of a glucose transport and conversion model. Labs require statistical analysis of experimental data sets. Student competency will be assessed through an individually-based lab report which requires students to statistically analyze the effect of noise in data on enzyme kinetics parameter estimation.
Relationship of course to Program Educational Objectives:
The goal of our B.S. BIOE program is to prepare our graduates for industry, graduate programs, and medicine. BIOEN 337 contributes to this goal by helping to ensure students are able to achieve the following objectives:
Earn advanced degrees and/or obtain employment in bioengineering-related fields, such as medicine, device development, or biotechnology.
Together with BIOEN 335 and BIOEN 336, BIOEN 337 introduces students to fundamentals of mass transport and reaction kinetics as related to biological processes and introduces methods of analysis and control of nonlinear and linear systems in the context of biological/biochemical applications. Execution of labs in teams and an interpretation of their results require an integration of a student's emerging skills and knowledge in areas such as computational analysis techniques, chemistry, circuit design, control systems, and biology. As such, this course should help students gain technical skills and team-working skills necessary to obtain employment in bioengineering-related fields. They will be required to learn new concepts and skills to complete their projects but they will also realize there is still much left to learn, thus instilling an appreciation for the importance of continuous learning and advanced educational opportunities.
Contribute to responsible development of new technical knowledge.
This class involves hands-on exploration of MATLAB-based analysis, LABVIEW programming, circuit design, wet lab techniques, analytical lab equipment, etc. As such, this course provides students with the tools they can utilize in other settings in order to ultimately contribute to the development of new technical knowledge.
Take leadership roles in addressing domestic or global bioengineering-related issues.
The lab exercises in this course involve team work. Planning, execution, and analysis of lab projects will give students the opportunity to work collaboratively on a team and to develop both oral and written communication skills. Students will also have the opportunity to hone their leadership skills, both within their team and among their other classmates.
Topics Covered:
- Electrical Analogs (summers, integrators, constant multipliers)
- 1-D Diffusion
- Soluble Enzyme Kinetics
- Effects of experimental noise on parameter estimation; Statistical analysis

Study shows high-carb, vegan diet causes major weight loss
WASHINGTON -- A low-fat, plant-based diet is more effective at helping women lose weight and improve insulin sensitivity than an omnivorous diet, shows a new study appearing in the September issue of The American Journal of Medicine. The study, involving 59 overweight, postmenopausal women, was conducted by Neal D. Barnard, M.D., president of the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM), together with colleagues at Georgetown University Hospital and George Washington University. Half of the study participants followed a vegan diet; the other half followed a control diet based on National Cholesterol Education Program guidelines.
(I-Newswire) - "The study participants following the vegan diet enjoyed unlimited servings of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and other healthful foods that enabled them to lose weight without feeling hungry," says Dr. Barnard, the lead author. "As they began to experience the positive effects, weight loss and improved insulin sensitivity, the women in the intervention group became even more motivated to follow the plant-based eating plan."
Scientific studies show that obesity and overweight are far less prevalent in populations following a plant-based diet. In a recent study of more than 55,000 Swedish women, Tufts University researcher P. Kirstin Newby and her colleagues found that 40 percent of meat-eaters were overweight or obese while only 25 to 29 percent of vegetarians and vegans were. Worldwide, vegetarian populations experience lower rates of heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, and other life-threatening diseases. A new study appearing in September's Journal of Urology shows that a low-fat, primarily vegan diet may slow the progression of prostate cancer.
The simplicity of a vegan diet appeals to people who are busy with work and family, and many familiar recipes are easy to adapt. At least four studies published in peer-reviewed journals show that patients give the low-fat vegetarian diet a high rating in terms of acceptability, and that the transition only takes about three weeks or less.

Pink Everlast Boxing Athletic Shoes
Rumor has it (which is ironically the name of one my favorite Adele songs right now) that a high percentage of shoe addicts work out to keep those calves in tip top shape when showing off their sexy stilettos. But did you know that boxing is actually a growing sport for women? Turns out the boxing ring just isn't for Mohammed Ali types nowadays. … [Read more...]

How to make Shoe Collage Art Decor from outdated Shoe Calendars
If you are a serious shoe addict like myself, you probably not only receive shoe calendars as gifts, but you save them too as you don't dare think of throwing away (or even recycling) such treasured shoe photos, right?! I suggest using old used shoe calendars to make photo art for your walls, such as the shoe art shown above that hangs in my bedroom. I used photos from a Shoes Page A Day Gallery Calendar. I laid out two poster boards and tried to organize the colored backgrounds of the photos … [Read more...]

Halve the oranges and squeeze the juice into a large stainless-steel pan. Scoop the pips and pulp into a sieve over the pan and squeeze out as much juice as possible, then tie the pulp and pips in the muslin. Shred the remaining peel and pith, either by hand with a sharp knife or in a food processor (a food processor will give very fine flecks rather than strips of peel). Add the shredded peel and muslin bag to the pan along with the water. Leave to soak overnight. This helps to extract the maximum amount of pectin from the fruit pulp, which will give a better set. It also helps to soften the peel, which will reduce the amount of cooking needed.
Put the pan over a medium heat, then bring up to a simmer. Cook, uncovered, for 1½-2 hrs, until the peel has become very soft. (The cooking time will be affected by how thickly you have cut the peel.) To see if the peel is ready, pick out a thicker piece and press it between your thumb and finger. It should look slightly see-through and feel soft when you rub it.
Carefully remove the muslin bag, allow to cool slightly, then, wearing the rubber gloves, squeeze out as much liquid as possible to extract the pectin from the fruit pulp. Discard the bag and weigh the simmered peel mixture. There should be between 775-800g; if less, then top up with water to 775g.
Put 4 small plates in the freezer, ready to use when testing for setting point. Add the sugar to the pan, then put over a low heat. Warm gently so that the sugar dissolves completely, stirring occasionally. Do not boil, before the sugar is dissolved.
Increase the heat and bring up to the boil but do not stir while the marmalade is boiling. After about 5 mins the marmalade will start to rise up the pan (it may drop back and then rise again) and larger bubbles will cover the surface. After 8-10 mins boiling, test for setting point. Times will vary according to the size of the pan – in a large pan this takes 7-8 mins, in other pans it may take 12-15 mins. As setting point can be easily missed it's better to test too early than too late.
To test the setting point: take the pan off the heat and allow the bubbles to subside. Take a plate from the freezer and spoon a little liquid onto the plate, then return to the freezer for 1 min. Push the marmalade along the plate with your finger. If setting point has been reached then the marmalade surface will wrinkle slightly and the marmalade won't run back straight away. If it's not at setting point, return to the heat and boil again for 2 mins before re-testing. Repeat until setting point is reached. If you have a sugar thermometer, setting point is reached at 105C, but it's good to do the plate test as well.
Leave the marmalade to stand for 10 mins or until starting to thicken. If there's any scum on the surface, spoon it off. Transfer the marmalade to sterilised jars. Cover with a wax disc (wax side down) and seal. When cold, label the jars and store in a cool, dark cupboard. The marmalade should keep for up to a year.
Freezing tends to reduce the pectin levels so it's a good idea to add the juice of one large lemon (lemon is also naturally very high in pectin) to each 500g/1lb 2oz of fruit if making marmalade from frozen oranges.
Want a darker marmalade?
If you like a darker, Oxford-style marmalade, then you just need to add 1 tbsp treacle when you add the sugar.

Tried this over the weekend. I cannot help fiddling so I added. Couple of blood oranges (n addition) to the recipe. I did not use the peel but added that, and the pith to the muslin bag for pectin. This added a nice colour to the marmalade and a slightly different taste.
I still had too many Seville oranges so I did another batch and added the juice of one lemon this time. This was also great - arguably better - as it has more of a sharp bite. Excellent & simple recipe. Prep time is long, though - cutting, scraping pith, boiling. I did not do the soak overnight but cut the rinds very thin instead. All good.
I used this recipe last year (from the February 2007 magazine) and it was a fantastic success. My sister was home from the states in May last year with her 18 month daughter and neither could get enough of the Marmalade. When the jar they were eating from was finished another jar was brought to the table and I was told "take away that shop bought stuff - I know there is more homemade marmalade around here and that's what I want".
It was my first time making marmalade and I considered that statement a testament to my ability to make marmalade and to the recipe obviously helped.

Quit smoking program reaches 10,000 mark
For Immediate Release: June 13, 2007
Media Contact:
Communication Office
BURLINGTON – This week a Vermont resident had the special honor of becoming the 10,000th person to enroll in a free local quit smoking program, called Ready, Set…STOP, which is funded by the Vermont Department of Health. This milestone helps illustrate the great progress that is being made every day among smokers to combat this addiction.
Since 2001, when the Ready, Set…STOP hospital-based group coaching and the Vermont Quit Line phone coaching began, the smoking rate has dropped significantly. These personal services, along with internet support from www.VermontQuitNet.com, are just some of the tools available for free to smokers who would like help to quit.
The Ready, Set…STOP sites, which are based out of each hospital in the state, offer group coaching at the hospital and in community locations, like worksites. The Ready, Set…STOP coaches provide smokers with the tools, tips and personal support they need to quit smoking. In addition, they will arrange for free nicotine replacement – patches, gum or lozenges – to be shipped directly to those people who use their services.
"The Ready, Set…STOP program is an important part of the menu of quit smoking options available to help Vermonters become smoke-free," said Health Commissioner Sharon Moffatt, RN, MSN. "The fact that 10,000 residents have used this resource is one of the reasons the smoking prevalence has declined over the last six years."
Nearly half of all smokers made a quit attempt in the past year, nearly one-fifth of adults still smoke. In order to decrease rates further, the Vermont Department of Health encourages smokers to use one of the helpful and free services – local, phone or online – to increase their success.
"Our clients find that using coaching is easier than quitting on their own," said Evelyn Sikorksi, Ready, Set…STOP quit coach at Fletcher Allen Health Care. "And coaching works better than going it alone – only about five percent of those people who quit on their own will be smoke-free in six months, compared to about 20 percent for those using local or phone coaching."
Vermonters who would like more information on the free quit coaching services can call their local hospital's Ready, Set…STOP program or the Vermont Quit Line 1-800-QUIT-NOW (784-8669). Additional information on Vermont's quit smoking services can also be found at www.TobaccoStories.org.
Vermont's comprehensive tobacco control efforts are funded entirely from yearly Master Settlement Agreement payments and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) grants. In addition, Vermont's Health Insurers provide funding towards free and reduced cost nicotine replacement for their subscribers.

Fast Radio Burst from space found rich with data
While astronomers have known about Fast Radio Bursts for a while now, never before have they been able to be utilized as they are here in the year 2015. A study has been published which not only shows where one unique fast radio burst likely originates from, but what sorts of elements in encountered on its way to our sensors, billions of light-years away from its source. Behold, FRB 110523, the object of this galactic study. The data it brings tells tales of its travels.
