Barns Are Painted Red Because of the Physics of Dying Stars
Have you ever noticed that almost every barn you have ever seen is red? Turns out there's a reason for that that has to do with the chemistry of dying stars
By Rose Eveleth
Have you ever noticed that almost every barn you have ever seen is red? There's a reason for that, and it has to do with the chemistry of dying stars. Seriously.
Yonatan Zunger is a Google employee who decided to explain this phenomenon on Google+ recently. The simple answer to why barns are painted red is because red paint is cheap. The cheapest paint there is, in fact. But the reason it's so cheap? Well, that's the interesting part.
Red ochre — Fe2O3 — is a simple compound of iron and oxygen that absorbs yellow, green and blue light and appears red. It's what makes red paint red. It's really cheap because it's really plentiful. And it's really plentiful because of nuclear fusion in dying stars. Zunger explains:
The only thing holding the star up was the energy of the fusion reactions, so as power levels go down, the star starts to shrink.
And as it shrinks, the pressure goes up, and the temperature goes up, until suddenly it hits a temperature where a new reaction can get started. These new reactions give it a big burst of energy, but start to form heavier elements still, and so the cycle gradually repeats, with the star reacting further and further up the periodic table, producing more and more heavy elements as it goes. Until it hits 56. At that point, the reactions simply stop producing energy at all; the star shuts down and collapses without stopping.
As soon as the star hits the 56 nucleon (total number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus) cutoff, it falls apart. It doesn't make anything heavier than 56. What does this have to do with red paint? Because the star stops at 56, it winds up making a ton of things with 56 neucleons. It makes more 56 nucleon containing things than anything else (aside from the super light stuff in the star that is too light to fuse).
The element that has 56 protons and neutrons in its nucleus in its stable state? Iron. The stuff that makes red paint. And that, Zunger explains, is how the death of a star determines what color barns are painted.
Yuoan Gao (Engineer, Univ. of Oxford), writes:
When Hydrogen undergoes fusion, it releases a great deal of energy, which is how/why stars sustain their nuclear reaction. Helium similarly fuses and releases energy.
On the other side of the scale, when Uranium undergoes fission, it also releases a great deal of energy, which is how nuclear (fission) reactors work; other heavy elements like Plutonium also undergoes fission and releases energy.
What about elements in between? If you look at the energy released by fusion or fission for every element (or the binding energy), and plot them by mass number, you get a graph with Iron, and other iron-group isotopes right in the middle, with energies sloping downwards on either side.
As mass number increases from Hydrogen, successive elements release less and less energy when undergoing fusion, which is why stars eventually run out of energy (sometimes spectacularly losing their hydrostatic equilibrium and going Nova);
As mass number decreases from heavy elements, less and less energy is released when undergoing fission, which is why nuclear reactors and (fission) bombs also eventually run out of energy.
Eventually, you end up with Iron and iron-group isotopes that do not release energy undergoing either nuclear fusion, or fission, meaning no self-sustaining nuclear reaction is possible.
All elements in the universe, if undergoing nuclear reaction therefore tend towards iron.
Therefore, for certain death of the universe scenarios, there'll be a lot of iron, and a smattering of lighter elements that don't exist in sufficient density to sustain stars; and heavier elements like lead are peculiar in that most radioactive decay chains end up there, hence the corresponding peak to the right of the abundance chart from Dennis Levy's answer.

Normally, Australia Day is all about getting legless, usually in the company of friends with a barbeque and watching the fireworks at the foreshore. The hard working people at Down Under Ground Events had different ideas however, starting Australia Day Eve with a hip hop Jamboree at the Civic Hotel, the site of last year's smashing Masta Ace gig. This night was all about the best in local and national hip hop, with representatives from both the East and West Coasts making an appearance on what was shaping up to be another hot Australia Day Eve for the city of Perth.
Kicking things off was Dista and MX Axis, both a part of local collaborative Sound Magnetiks Affiliation, backed by SMA affiliate DJ Jamu, whom had been dropping classic bangers in preparation for what came ahead. Dista, proving there was no rest for the wicked, took to the stage with a mic in one hand and a crutch on the other. The heat caused the duo to playfully perform a bit of Nelly's Hot in Here before launching into What I Talk About – the drinking song that makes an appearance in every Australian emcee repertoire – which did much to distract the audience from the weather outside.
Xzakt from Street LIFE Descendents took to the stage to drop his verse on a track about the importance of where one calls home, before a rendition of So Broken that not only spoke on human frailty but serendipitously tied in with Dista's leg. A performance of Right Reason, which spoke of the process of art slowed things down a bit, before Fucked Up closed out the set.
Switching over to representation from the East Coast, Mistress of Ceremony took to the stage, not only representing Melbourne, Victoria, but also representing the next generation of female emcees that are coming through the ranks. The Mistress started the party with what very well may be her battle cry, M.O.C, garnering audience participation with Mistress handing off the mic to someone in the audience to do parts of the chorus. LMG Sessions Verse off Let Them Eat Cake quickly followed, with its Eastern rhythm samples takes on an extra edge when performed live. The set continued on with further tracks in a similar high octane fashion. This did much to get the crowd going, before the emcee flipped the script and slowed the proceedings down with some more tracks that took on a personal edge. It's with tracks such as Who Am I and Come Around that show she can not only get the party started but also speak of personal pain and loss. Capping off the set was Hustler, proving the Melbourne femcee was just as hard working as her male peers.
Heading back to WA, Dazastah and Layla hit the stage, with the latter being an obvious influence on Mistress of Ceremony. Kicking things off with a bang, the presence of an MPC meant that the producer extraordinaire was going to have some fun on his own terms. A rendition of Tits and Balls set the stage, the track being enjoyed by both genders and also showed the levity of the dynamic duo when they perform on stage together. After setting the scene with tracks like that, it was a look into the past with R.I.P, Dazastah's collaboration on Drapht's album Brothers Grimm, before Daz had some fun with aforementioned MPC, and launching into a freestyle jam season over some new beats and bars.
Paying tribute to another local legend, Woody Woodpecker got a run out – the playful track coming from Done DL, his collaboration with Hunter and a fitting dedication to the local stalwart who sadly passed away. After being on the receiving end of some playful heckles from emcee Mortar, the duo delved into some more of the quality material both have accumulated over the years. The rendition of Calm Before the Storm off Downsyde's last album, All City, kept the good vibes of camaraderie and playfulness going. The duo finished things off with a track that paid tribute to the hell queen that is Layla, before the hell queen herself choose to dedicate the next day to the original owners of this land, a fact that is often forgotten by many as they celebrate on the foreshore.
After the dose of hip hop royalty , it was time for the main act. Proving how love of the art can overcome setbacks, for the uninitiated, MDMA is composed of Mdusu and Manaz Ill. Manaz Ill hit the stage, taking a minute to suss out the size of the stage as the emcee is blind from a degenerative eye disease. Not that this has had any impact on the love the emcee holds for the art, which is evident in the tracks he makes. After starting with some self deprecating tracks such as Ray Charles, the emcee launched into Run Away, which covers the darker side of addiction and losing people to it. Love You Hot covered the angst in dating game, whilst Memory Lane, like its namesake, was a trip to golden era for many that was the 90's. Next up was Red Pill, Blue Pill, with its heavy synth setting a tense atmosphere, which helped reinforced the pop culture reference about choices.
No Part of Me took things back to light side, the catchy shuffling beat complementing the emcee's rhymes about the split personality nature of not only himself, but everyone in general. A track Manaz wrote about being fresh of the plane whilst he was in the air reflected the hard working nature of the emcee, whilst the title track of the album showed the musings and thought processes of a man clearly in love with the art. It was here the solidarity of hip hop was shown, with a rendition of No Justice, No Peace, had the presence of local emcee Cortext. Blah Blah Blah, a diss-track, not only acknowledged of hip hop history in the nature of the rhymes, but the inclusion of a sample from Eye of the Needle by Ten Wheel Drive only reinforced this notion. The sample appearing in numerous tracks over the years in some shape or form. With the night getting on, Manaz Ill thanked everyone that was on and off stage, finishing his set with Game On before finally ending things appropriately with the psych rock influenced When the Party Stops.
The night before Australia Day, especially this one that happened on a weekend, is usually a hard sell for many. For those who opted to attend were treated to a selection of both East and West coast hip hop artists who all brought something a little different to the night, which helped the relaxed attitude nicely. Kudos to everyone that made it that night, especially Down Under Ground Events for donating all the proceeds to the victims of the recent Perth bush fires. Again showing the solidarity that occurs in hip hop, a refreshing change from the perceived materialism that can plague the genre.

Hacienda La Esmeralda
An unusual cold front hit Panama in the highlands and produced what was to be a storm front very out of character for this time of year. It was only 2 months ago that Boquete had its worst flood in 30 years, hence this weather not well received. It was however another day on the farm at Hacienda La Esmeralda and this dampened parade still marched! Rachel Peterson collected me at the hotel and took me to the farm that produces their prize winning lots.The luscious settings of the Baru Mountainside completely covered the coffee trees in natural old growth forest, a real paradise. It was amazing to see just how giant these coffee Geussha´s were. The cherries themselves really were much longer that your average coffee cherry and were quite a treat to nibble on… just one or two. The new projects are really interesting. Rachel showed me a plantation of Geussha up to 1,800 meters high that is not producing yet, but is expected to cup up with even more character. And my favourite, the coffee library, including approximately 20 different varietals including heirloom Ethiopian varietals, Java and other believed strains of Geussha. A mini coffee Eden.It was then a plan to get my hands dirty with the coffee pickers but the weather was not on my side. It was in my face and in my ears, apparently the pickers weren´t heading up for fear of being attacked by a falling coffee tree. So heading back to the processing plant for a round of cupping seemed a much better idea. There were 5 Geusshas on the table and one other which I have to admit of having no idea what it was. Probally a good coffee but just didn´t interest me next to the Geusshas. Some started out with a lychee sweetness, other strong lemon zest and jasmine. Apparently the still need to rest so I can´t wait to see what they develop to. It was then lunch at the Peterson's house were I had the pleasure of meeting Price, Susan and Daniel. I had such a lovely time there that I thought to myself must go back sometime… so I did two days later. A special thank you to the Peterson's for their wonderful hospitality and time they took to show me their estate. It was a fantastic experience. Thanks again Rachel.
Tour of Ruiz Cafe
The Syphon filter had it's 'night of nights' last night with the
2006 Japanese Syphon Champion, Mieko, putting on a world
class display of vac-pot brew style.
There were attendees from Melbournes fine establishments as well
as our neighbours to the north, Sydney.
The night kicked off with mingling over Mieko's syphon brewed
Kenyan French Mission and Cup of Excellence El Salvador.
Parties were introduced and with the help of Mori (Japanese Interpretter)
Mieko wowed us with her smoothly tuned Syphon brewing skills. Like an
experienced barista working the Synesso she looked one with her tri-Syphon
Questions were fired from the crowd and related back via the interpretter.
Coffee industry folk who attended left with a greater understanding of a brewing
style that makes up 30- 40% of the coffee drank in Japan.
Hopefully, with a little time and good work us in Oz can put out some quality Syphon brews.
Big thankyous go out to Mieko, Toshi Ishiwata, Salvatore Malatesta, Luke Mutton and the few
who brought along some divine coffees to sample. Namely Brother Buba Budan, Ristretto from Perth, Auction Rooms and The Source from Sydney.
Stay tuned for some pics of the night and a detailed Syphon how-to analyses.
Pulp Natural…
Justin on his way to Esmeralda
Justin left on the 1st Feb for a one month coffee trip around the world….. hmm …. we are all a little bit jealous. We'll keep you up to date with his movements. First stop was Intelligentsia in LA then on his way to Esmeralda, then a one week Mercanta tour of Nicaraugua, then New York, London and so on..
Below is his first email back. We'll keep all his reporting nice and raw… he would have wanted it that way,
Apart from being so tired that I fell asleep with my face against a bus window and proceeded to slip down and bash my forehead against the metal framing LA was f#@king awesome!
It took about 3 hours to get to intelligensia but when I got there they layed me on a fantastic cappucino and an awesome dbl risty. Hooked up with deaton and did some clover cupping and he showed me all over the store. Then we went to the roastery and saw the infamous Got Hot roaster. Then went back to kyal's place and talked direct trade and watched the superbowl.
The most interesting thing is their new Venice store. 4 x 2 group snesso with two robur e's a piece. Two clovers and some weird concept rework of a 4 group gb 2 la marzocco that was apparently the machine used in the first starbucks ever.
Those kids are going places"
Good Luck Juzzie. Take lots of pics and see you in a month!

The Oscar-nominated actor Leonardo DiCaprio yesterday revealed that working with Martin Scorsese on upcoming thriller Shutter Island had been his most emotionally gruelling experience yet in front of the cameras.
DiCaprio plays Teddy Daniels, a steely second world war veteran who arrives at a fortress-like island housing a hospital for the criminally insane in the gothic-tinged tale, which is based on the 2003 Dennis Lehane novel and co-stars Ben Kingsley, Mark Ruffalo and Max Von Sydow. The actor said he was more than capable of "switching off" once away from the shoot, but admitted there was often something of a "sombre mood going home every day" after filming his scenes on the wind-blasted Peddocks Island off the coast of Boston.
"This is the most challenging one to date for me. Physically – yes, but emotionally more so," he said. "It was the nature of the material. It was obviously a complex jigsaw puzzle and it was surprising for both of us at times, and it really shocked us."
DiCaprio admitted it was hard for him to be completely candid about Shutter Island, due to plot twists unveiled during the course of the movie. "It's a very difficult narrative to talk about in detail because we want the audience to have that virgin experience," he said.
Scorsese said "the nature of gothic literature [had] opened the door" for the project to come into existence. He also credited such films as Otto Preminger's Laura, Jacques Tourneur's Out of the Past and John Huston's Let There Be Light, as well as Sam Fuller's classic 1963 B-movie Shock Corridor, as influences on Shutter Island. "I don't know how else to use to tell the story except to utilise that vocabulary – the rain, the darkness, the mansions, the framing, the lighting, and that sort of thing," he said.
"There's always the element of Shock Corridor hanging around the picture," he added. "But never specifically – it's more a case of it being conjured as a mantra."
DiCaprio described working with Von Sydow as "incredible". He said: "It was chilling to work with him. He is part of cinema's history and should be revered and respected as that. He is a genius."
Kingsley added: "He has absolute authority on the set. You can be chatting with Max on the set and Mr Scorsese will say 'action' and you cannot see the difference between him being and him acting, even inches from him. It's an extraordinary quality, something essential and elemental about him."
Scorsese has now cast DiCaprio in every film he has made since 2002's Gangs of New York, but Kingsley said there was no "whispering in corners" between the pair on set.
"As another member of the cast observing this great longevity of a working relationship, you are never for a second excluded. Every debate on set between Martin and Leonardo is shared. There's no shorthand – everyone on set gets the benefit of this working relationship and there's no private language. Given the history that's quite generous and remarkable."
Shutter Island opens in UK cinemas on March 12.

- Memorial Tournament
McIlroy dodges inquiry about Wozniacki splitMay 28, 2014
Rory McIlroy tried to keep the conversation centered on golf on Wednesday when questions arose about his high-profile break-up with Caroline Wozniacki.
McIlroy was asked about a report in the Times that suggested he called off his engagement with the tennis star in a three-minute phone conversation. McIlroy declined to answer that one at Muirfield Village Golf Club, where he will play in this week's Memorial Tournament.
A week following a sullen news conference at the BMW PGA Championship, where McIlroy had released a statement hours before with the news about his split with Wozniacki, McIlroy at least had some good golf to talk about. He won the European Tour's flagship event by overcoming a seven-shot deficit in the final round on Sunday.
It was the 25-year-old McIlroy's first victory of the year, first professional victory on European soil, and first in 18 months on either the European or PGA tours. It also moved him back inside the top 10 in the world at No.6.
"I think it was very important," he said. "I think I showed quite a lot of mental strength or focus or whatever you want to call it last week during the whole tournament."
McIlroy was asked why he felt compelled to announce that he and Wozniacki had broken up.
"Honestly, I don't know," he said. "It's one of those things that it was a very public relationship. And I thought it was best that, instead of letting it linger and rumours, just to have it right there as soon as possible."
The Times reported on Wednesday in its coverage of Wozniacki's first-round loss at the French Open that the engagement ended with "a three-minute conversation she thought was a joke."
McIlroy then said he was at the news conference at Muirfield to discuss golf, and he went from there.
For the first two rounds of the Memorial, McIlroy will be grouped with world No.1 Adam Scott and Jason Day.

Beverly Graves
A recent interview with Jim Mertens, industry specialist for trichloroethylene at Dow, provided a bit of a perspective on the cleaning industry.
Where do you see the most growth in the cleaning industry (aqueous, mechanical, solvent)?
Featured Content
JM: Although we are seeing some growth in all those segments of the cleaning market, by sheer numbers we are probably seeing the most growth in the number of new aqueous systems produced; however, many customers find that only solvent systems deliver the performance they need. There has been some movement in the industry from aqueous systems back to solvent systems.
Do you think people misunderstand the potential and/or hazards of solvent cleaners?
JM: This is somewhat true. There is a great deal of misinformation spread about regulations and the possible effects they may have on solvents. Only two popular solvents have been phased out under the Montreal Protocol. Although many solvents are controlled by regulations, there are systems and equipment available today that allow users to meet these regulations, while still receiving low cost, high quality cleaning.
What can be done to make people more aware of the benefits of solvent cleaning?
JM: At Dow, we continually strive to educate people on the benefits of chlorinated solvents. We do this through many means, including case studies, which detail the benefits of solvents, and participation in the industry events that target the end-user market.
Is there any "universal" cleaner?
JM: There is no universal cleaner. Even great solvents such as trichloroethylene cannot do everything. There are instances when other alternatives need to be considered.
What do you feel would be the best way for a job shop to handle all the different soils coming in on parts?
JM: For job shops, vapor degreasing is an attractive option. It handles a large variety of soils and with a good distillation process, you have no risk of cross-contamination. The vapor degreasing and distillation process constantly provides fresh cleaning so the solution is always at 100% strength and not contaminated with other soils.
Is Dow doing any research on any types of aqueous products?
JM: Most of Dow's efforts today are focused on supplying products to the aqueous formulation industry. Our broad line of surfactants and water-soluble solvents assist formulators in making even more effective aqueous cleaning products for the future.
Is Dow doing any research on new types of solvent cleaning processes?
JM: Dow is constantly evaluating new products and applications. Consideration is always given for new products that may fit into existing processes, as well as new processes that may allow for different products to be used. In most cases, where new technology has come forward, such as airless and fully closed cleaning systems, the most efficient products are still the old standby solvents: trichloroethylene, perchloroethylene and methylene chloride.

Uptown festival offerings this weekend: Children's Books, Broadmoor Fest and Audubon Fall Fete
The Uptown New Orleans festival calendar is crowded this weekend with compelling options that include the Children's Book Festival at Latter Library, the Seventh Annual Broadmoor Festival and the annual Fall Fête at Audubon Charter School.
The Children's Book Festival actually includes two distinct events, a symphonic performance on the Latter Library lawn on Friday night, followed by the festival itself on Saturday, according to the event website:
Twinkle, Twinkle
A Night of Music Inspired by Children's Literature
Friday, October 19, 6:30 p.m. – 8:00 p.m
Twinkle, Twinkle is a special performance by the Greater New Orleans Youth Orchestras in celebration of the 3rd Annual Children's Book Festival. On the evening of Friday, October 19th, the Youth Orchestra will perform music inspired by children's literature.
Bring picnic blankets and baskets for a night of music and magic under the stars!
New Orleans Children's Book Festival
Saturday, October 20, 10:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m.
Listen to stories read by your favorite authors…
…Grab a sweet treat or tasty snack…
…Play with a pony who has her own book…
…Hang out with Clifford the Big Red Dog…
…Get FREE Books!
These are but a few of the many fun activities you can enjoy at the New Orleans Children's Book Festival.
The Broadmoor Fest will include all the necessities of a fine New Orleans neighborhood festival: world-class music and food, art and kids' activities (and, maybe a hint of politics, since its organizer is running for City Council):
Seventh Annual Broadmoor Fest: Come Celebrate with the Lil' Neighborhood that Could
With music, food, art, and children's activities, Broadmoor will be the place to be on Saturday, October 20, 11 am -7 pm for the Seventh Annual Broadmoor Fest.

The industry has called for a 'Gove guarantee' on agri-environment schemes.
Farming and green organisations have united in demanding a guarantee farmers and land managers will not be at a disadvantage when a 'new and improved' stewardship scheme is launched post-Brexit.
In a letter to Environment Secretary Michael Gove, industry leaders from nine organisations said farmers and land managers were wary about engaging with the current Countryside Stewardship scheme as they did not want to commit themselves to a five-year agreement which may limit their ability to access improved schemes in the future.
It came as Defra Ministers suggested there would still be support for achieving environmental outcomes but on a simpler and 'more effective' basis as part of any new scheme.
The letter read: "Defra ministers have highlighted improving the implementation of agricultural policy and agri-environment schemes as a priority when the UK leaves the EU.
"There is an expectation among farmers and land managers future schemes will be a more attractive proposition than current ones."
CLA president Tim Breitmeyer said some potential applicants for Countryside Stewardship were already questioning whether they should apply now or hold off until a better scheme became available.
He said: "This reduces the level of environmental management and increases the chance of less funding being made available by Defra in the European Rural Development Fund, at just the time we should be encouraging greater uptake."
He urged Mr Gove to provide confidence to the sector and offer assurances to continue engagement in schemes which delivered positive environmental results.
Steve Trotter, England and Living Landscapes director at The Wildlife Trusts, added: "The uncertainty facing farmers and land managers about whether they are better off in or out of Countryside Stewardship risks reversing the fortunes of wildlife which benefited from this and previous agri-environment schemes."
Organisations supporting the call include the CLA, NFU, Tenant Farmers Association, Royal Society for the Protection of Birds England, The Wildlife Trusts, Central Association of Agricultural Valuers, Game and Wildlife Conservation Trust, National Trust and Farm Wildlife Advisory Group.

Iraqi shrine bombing spurs wave of sectarian reprisals
Protesters have killed at least 18 people and attacked dozens of Sunni Muslim mosques across Iraq in retaliation after a bombing at one of the most revered Shia shrines.
Tens of thousands of people stormed through the streets in protest after assailants blew up the golden dome of the Askariya Shrine in Samarra, about 95 kilometres north of Baghdad, early Wednesday morning.
Political and religious leaders urged Iraqis not to let the country slide into a civil war over the bombing, which many blamed on Sunni militants. There was no immediate claim of responsibility.
The bombing killed no one, but ignited more unrest than many earlier militant attacks that left hundreds of Shias dead. The shrine contains the tombs of two revered imams and drew Shia pilgrims from around the world.
Prime Minister Ibrahim al-Jaafari, who is Shia, went on television to declare three days of mourning, calling the explosion an attack on all Muslims and urging unity among sects.
President Jalal Talabani, a Kurd, accused the bombers of trying to sabotage talks to draw the country's Sunni minority into a coalition government dominated by the Shia majority.
"We must work together against the danger of civil war," he told Iraqis in a televised address.
Top Shia cleric calls for seven days of mourning
The country's top Shia cleric, Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani, forbid his followers from attacking Sunni mosques and called for seven days of mourning.
Prominent Sunni groups and religious leaders, including the clerical Association of Muslim Scholars, also condemned the bombing and appealed for calm.
International leaders also urged Iraqis not to let militants push the country into sectarian violence. The United States promised to help rebuild the shrine.
More than 90 Sunni mosques attacked, Sunni group says
Other developments in Iraq include:
- The country's biggest Sunni political organization, the Iraqi Islamic Party, said at least 90 Sunni mosques had been attacked, burned or overrun by Shia Muslims.
- At least 18 people were reportedly killed, including three Sunni clerics and 11 Sunni men accused of being militants â including two Egyptians â who were pulled out of a Basra prison by gunmen.
- The biggest protests, involving as many as thousands of people, took place in Shia neighbourhoods in Baghdad and in other Shia-dominated cities to the south, including Najaf, Kut and Basra.
- In Baghdad, about 40 Shia militants wielding automatic weapons sprayed a Sunni mosque with bullets.
- In Basra, Shia militants sparked a gunfight with guards at the office of the Sunni-led Iraqi Islamic Party.
- Protesters in Basra started a fire at a Sunni shrine that contains the remains of a companion of the Prophet Muhammad.
Police detain suspects
Officials in Samarra said four men entered the Shia shrine at daybreak and set off two bombs that shattered its golden dome. The shrine contains the tombs of two revered imams and draws pilgrims from around the world.
It marked the latest in a series of attacks on Shia holy sites in the past few days.
U.S. and Iraqi forces surrounded the shrine and searched nearby houses. A police official said five police officers who were responsible for protecting the mosque had been taken into custody.
The country's Interior Ministry said authorities had detained several suspects, but did not say whether they included the bombers.
There have been rising fears of a civil war between the country's Sunni minority, who were dominant under former Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein, and the Shia majority, who won the majority of seats in the December 2005 parliamentary election.

Loring Heights-Stevens Square is a historic neighborhood located just south of Downtown Minneapolis. Affordable and conveniently located, it's one of the most densely populated areas in the city and is a popular choice for galleries and artists' studio spaces. The Minneapolis Institute of Art calls the neighborhood home, and residents flock to Loring Park, which boasts a small lake and a series of scenic walking paths. The streets of Loring Heights-Stevens Square are filled with historic mansions, many of which have been subdivided into apartments. No high-rises here: Most of the buildings are under three stories. For a renter who wants proximity to downtown Minneapolis, but also a distinctly neighborhood vibe, Loring Heights-Stevens Square is an excellent option.
If you're not sure how much an apartment will cost, the table below shows the average price by size.

Study Highlights:
- A commonly used heartburn medication caused blood vessel cells to age faster in laboratory testing.
- These findings could help explain recent reports linking long-term use of heartburn medication to several serious illnesses, including heart disease, kidney disease and dementia.
- Clinical studies still are necessary to determine if the drugs damage blood vessel cells within the body.
Embargoed until 3 p.m. CT / 4 p.m. ET Tuesday, May 10, 2016
DALLAS, May 10, 2016 — A popular over-the-counter medication for heartburn, caused laboratory blood vessel cells to age quicker, according to new research in Circulation Research, an American Heart Association journal.
Reflux, often called heartburn, occurs when stomach acid backs up into the esophagus, causing irritation and damage. Mild reflux is fairly common, but frequent, severe occurrences, known as GERD for gastroesophageal reflux disease, can cause significant discomfort and may require treatment. Many people find relief by using over-the-counter medications called proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), which reduce acid produced by the stomach. In fact, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration estimates that 1 in 14 Americans have used PPIs.
After recent evidence linking long-term PPI use to several serious illnesses, including heart disease, kidney disease and dementia, researcher sought to identify how PPIs increase risk by studying their effects on blood vessel cells.
Now, researchers at Houston Methodist Research Institute (HMRI) say they have discovered that long term exposure to PPIs "accelerated biological aging in human endothelial cells which line the inside of blood vessels. When healthy, human endothelial cells create a Teflon-like coating that prevents blood from sticking. When older and diseased, the endothelium becomes more like Velcro, with blood elements sticking to the vessel to form blockages."
They also found that long-term PPI exposure impairs acid production by the lysosomes in the cells lining the blood vessel walls. They noted that the lysosome — the part of the cell that typically clears waste products — did not produce enough acid to clear waste. In turn, the buildup of waste caused the cell to age rapidly. Notably, another type of antacid known as an H2 antagonist, did not have this adverse effect.
"Lysosomes are like the garbage disposal of cells," said John P. Cooke, M.D., Ph.D., study lead author and professor and chair of the Department of Cardiovascular Sciences at the HMRI and director of the Houston Methodist Research Institute Center for Cardiovascular Regeneration in Texas. "They need to generate acid to get rid of cellular rubbish, and when cellular rubbish accumulates the cells age faster."
Although PPIs can be effective for short-term use, they are not meant for extended treatment, researchers said. PPIs do not require a prescription or doctor's supervision, which can lead to overuse.
"With the knowledge that PPIs are being used by millions of people for indications and durations that were never tested or approved, it may be time for the pharmaceutical industry and regulatory agencies to re-visit the specificity and the safety of these agents," Cooke said. "Unless otherwise indicated, physicians should consider PPIs only for short-term use for relief of symptoms of GERD, since we now have a 'smoking gun' that helps explain the consistent observational evidence of increased risk."
Cooke added that there are other approaches to long-term treatment that might be considered for GERD including H2 antagonists, lifestyle modifications, and in severe cases, surgical approaches.
The current one has several limitations. Although two different PPIs were tested, only one of these esomeprazole (brand name Nexium) is commercially available. In addition, it did not show how PPIs actually impair the lysosome's ability to produce enough acid to clear waste. Finally, since this study was in a laboratory setting, it could not show whether PPIs act in the same way within the human body, and long-term clinical trials are necessary.

Anime Review: Casshern Sins
Would Mega Man be improved if you recast our hero as an amnesiac villain wandering the empty doom-scape of humanity's extinction? No, of course not.
If nothing else, the franchise made a pretty slick live action movie.
Always wanted to see the Anime after I witnessed the unfiltered awesomeness that was the film which rests as one of my favourites. I think I'll just stick with that for now.
Being completely ignorant of the original series, I actually did enjoy this show. It was very well animated and I will disagree completely that the fight scenes were uninspired. I suppose I was numb to all the melodrama as well but if that bothers you then I won't blame you.
I sadly admit I've never watched the original series, so I'm going to be feel out at first but the sad thing is despite my ignorance of the original i feel that i will enjoy this series.
The closest thing i can remember was the effects that both Beast Wars and the 2003 TMNT series had, both had elements of the original series but they were so different from their original series causing a wide split among fans of the same source.
i was wondering if this and the live action casshern thing were related when i saw the title. watched it on DVD with some mates, it was like 3 hours long (or felt it) and the most confusing thing we'd ever seen.
Ouch .. harsh review. Noted, this one is not making it on to my list.
I liked this show, especially the later episodes, but it would have benefited a lot from being about half as long with the same budget and ditching the amnesia aspect entirely (as well as the little girl). The message of the show necessitates that Casshern himself is the least interesting character, so it would probably have been better to keep as a constant element of the story rather than as it's protagonist. Also, the backgrounds are gorgeous.
I personally think Casshern Sins was absolutely brilliant.
Sp what your saying is they try to go the way of Nolan's Batman and fall down a flight of stairs doing it, FAIL! Now look the only time I've personally seen old character designs combine with new shading effectively is Gundam Unicorn (THANK GOD FOR UNIVERSAL CENTURY)
Oh sure, it's not very "good" but it sure looks cool.
I bought the DVD coz Casshern's suit on the front cover makes him look like a robotic duck. Was about as good as it got.
To this day the cinematography blows me away. It's probably intending to look like manga, but I've always thought it looked like someone animated a graphic novel.
I haven't watched the original Casshern, but going from the reviewer's tone, I'm starting to become more glad that I hadn't. There are several things that make this a good anime, but it's certainly fair to say that it won't be to everyone's taste.
The most important and extremely gratifying (if you can get behind artistic vision rather than a pure pleasurable aspect) aspect of this anime is it's mood. It's subdued, it's dark, it's depressing -- and best of all -- there's nothing fake about it. A good descriptor word for the anime as a whole would be "uncompromising". An anime that is far too short in supply these days if you ask me (perhaps I haven't been around enough though...). It doesn't play out to a pure action perspective and I think in a lot of ways it's better for it. There's no (or few) whiz-bang explosions to sully the meaning and goals behind the anime which unravel themselves to the viewer as the fight scenes become repetitive. They're not repetitive in that, "Oh, I guess the animators ran out of money," or, "imagination," way, they're clearly trying to depict the fights as being apart from where meaning is to be found.
I can understand the complaints about the animation quality and the length, but really, I think those worked for the tone incredibly well. There are many speechless, quiet, still moments which work towards a goal of asking you to ponder, "What's the meaning of life?", "Why are we here?", "Is this hope worth fighting for?", and "Can we just be satisfied with the here and now?". These points are exemplified with the little girl, whose innocence goes to show that you can be satisfied and yet at the same time (with her showing signs of rust) that hope is worth fighting for. This is without even getting into the more depressing elements of death and unabating guilt.
There a couple of minuses for those who are interested in a thoughtful anime, which may not distract from the vision, but generally will be unsatisfying. While there is a fair amount of narrative (though often subtle) there is not a lot of dialogue and the brooding may get to you. Melodrama does exist, and depending on your immersion, rightfully or wrongfully so. There was some repetition in artwork, but I think if DragonBall (if you're insulting it, that's a big no-no from where I'm coming from) can work with it, a moody apocalyptic(late apocalypse rather than post in this case) anime like this laps it up.
Watching Mobile Suit Gundam(79',85',86') right now, I can say I'm sick and tired of retro-anime and am dying to see another like this. It's just ironic considering the source... guess it's tough to be a fanboy :/
Edit: Typo and language clean-up. Also a shout-out to twaddle: thanks for the word-up, I appreciated your insight and you threw in a couple points I was thinking of amending to mine, especially about the series length.
P.S. Sorry if the last line in my original post sounds a bit snippy, I was just reflecting on my own childhood series' like 80's TMNT and Sonic Sat AM. Really think this anime deserved more of a chance (and a second page's worth of review).
I never seen the original series, and I do like to one day, but I though Casshern Sins is pretty decent. I still watching the series on Hulu.
Ok i see where your coming from but you are looking at the series in the wrong way. Your looking at cassher sins as if it were purely an action anime. Truthfully it's more of a drama with bits of action in it. What Casshern Sins ask is that you look at the characters from a psychological perspective. It's kind of a re-examination of the question "If you had only (blank time) to live how would you spend it?"
It doesn't take much to under stand where each character is coming from and the occasional battle tends to spice up the story. The series ins not too long and....
wait. i was just ninja'd by that guy
The point is though is thati if u need a break from the all bad writtin action and Super overly dramatic shoujo, Casshern Sins is a good rent.
Ill still probably watch this series.
Plus if it really is as bad as you say it is, then trust me, iv sat through worse
I remember watching this a few years back. At first, the concept of otherwise "immortal" robots confronted with mortality was interesting enough to keep me in, but the protagonist's incessant wangsting about the "Ruin" eventually drove me off.
Fight scenes were nice but I don't really care for shows that rely on flashbacks to make up the story (movies are OK bc they're shorter) the slow pacing eventually made me lose interest.
gunna avoid this anime, thx for the warning.
need more anime reviews
If you mean the origional fist of the north star, it took considerably longer than 12 hours, there were something like 150 episodes (only about 30+ made it to the west)
I haven't watched it all but from what I remember this was a pretty decent anime. There were some emotionally powerful scenes in it, and everywhere Casshern went you had the feel that the world was broken, and in keeping with the title of the one who started the ruin he seems to leave only destruction in his wake irregardless of whether he wants to or not.
While the fights aren't huge and expansive I thought it was a refreshing change from the usual fare of fights that had people pulling off grandiose spectacles for a single attack. I've always disliked the over the top fight scenes of anime like dragonball z and such. Fist of the North Star I'm ambient about, those fights always seem to just be buildup to the main character hitting them with an insta-kill.
As stated above this anime is more of a drama with bits of action for flavor than an action anime. And while there are certainly better anime to watch there's also muuuuuch worse.
Summary: With a cast of interesting characters, emotionally powerful scenes, good animation, and an engaging story. Casshern Sins should at least be given a chance. The character designs may be a little funky but at least it's not all super powered wild haired teenagers.
i saw the eng subbed ages ago and i thoroughly enjoyed it although so say the ending was not what i was expecting, great fight scenes(i dont know what your on about) the story was very depressing but at the same time it turned itself around abit, its a drama anime mainly but the action i found rather impressive, over all i would say 7/10 its a good series
I never watched the original show (which might I say looks ridiculous), and I thoroughly enjoyed Casshern Sins.
Come on, don't judge it harshly for being different to the original series. They were trying to make Casshern Sins a serious anime. Could they have pulled that off with Friender transforming into a plane or various other ridiculous methods of transportation whenever it suited them, for instance?
You should rate Casshern as a standalone series, because it is actually really good.
Now now, what's that about GAR being a reinvention of the old TV series? Even in that Wiki page you've linked to yourself it's mentioned that:
The old "kid-friendly" TV series has mostly been superseded (in the minds of the modern mecha fanboys) by the grim and gritty original manga and the three direct-to-video series, while the only thing that still keeps it on our radars is the Super Robot Wars series of games.
In other words:
Its a decent anime, but much like Evangellion it's shooting itself in the foot with it's sheer inability to be watched at any decent pace. It out does a black hole in terms of the sheer force of bleakness it extends.
If it's any guess after catching up to the series about half-way through it being air when even the hooks of the show managed to do nothing to compel me to continue following the series, it's mostly a passable show. It's not bad, it's just not a very level-headed experience.
I tried to like this series, it just couldn't keep my attention. Great style, serious plot, but it was really slow. I should give it another chance.
I like how much effort you didn't put into this review or trying to understand the anime as a whole and the world it describes. Good job(sic!).
If you have insomnia watch this show because it is very very fucking boring. Its the past may 21 2011 in this world and 99% of the human population is either raptured or dead.So whats left is robits. robits that have started to rust. since they ran out of rustaway casshern is the only solution eat him and won't rust. or you could stop building robots out of iron. what I like is the visuals so if you run this a 3x speed and mute it, You'll enjoy it more. well when something is happening its interesting but. that only happens for a very minimally amount of time
I was about to post a comment then noticed that I already had...3 years ago, ^ and boy was younger me kind.
tl;dr you are so wrong it makes me physically ill, please never masquerade as a critic ever again.

Friday afternoon, the White House quietly released its annual report to Congress on White House staff salaries. Among the employees is the infamous director of progressive media and online response, Jesse Lee, who is paid $72,500 a year to provide White House sanctioned responses to any negative press it receives.
The position, which was previously part of the privately-funded DNC's rapid response team, is now a taxpayer-funded spin machine to thwart bad press against President Barack Obama. In effect, the position is a pulpit for the White House, through Lee, to ridicule critics and promote a liberal agenda. Lee frequently retweets liberal bloggers and media organizations, but also picks fights with a number of conservative bloggers.
Perhaps most surprising is the main target of Lee's rebuttal tweets, none other than former NewsBusters and MRC social media marketer, Kevin Eder. Eder, who describes himself as "quite literally...a nobody," is the subject of 15% of the tweets coming from Lee's official White House account.
As the Heritage Foundation's Rob Bluey explains,
Of the 267 tweets written by Lee in just over a month, a stunning 40 of them have been directed at Kevin Eder, a prolific Twitter user with more than 83,000 tweets to his credit. That means 15 percent of Lee's tweets — from an official White House account no less — have been with Eder.
One such example happened last week in a dispute over the budget.
Eder posted this tweet: "Hmm…it can't be true that @SenateDems haven't passed a budget in 790 days and the only plan Obama has is a speech. Right, @jesseclee44?"
To which Lee responded: "@keder @SenateDems Plan is keep negotiating w/ Rs & Ds, not default & trash economy, not voucherize Medicare to fund more tax cuts for rich."
It seems like something to laugh at when a White House staffer has dedicated so much of his Twitter feed to a person who describes himself as a nobody, but when you remember that Lee is paid $72,500 in your tax dollars, the situation becomes less amusing.
Lee is not the only White House staffer who dedicates himself to online engagement, either. According to Michelle Malkin, there are at least 17 staffers with titles referencing the Office of Public Engagement or Online Engagement.
These "engagers" are among the top earners in the White House. Fourteen of the 17 earn $50,000 or more. Chicago crony Valerie Jarrett, the White House senior adviser who oversees OPE, receives a salary of $172,200 a year. Michael Strautmanis, deputy assistant to the president and counselor to the senior adviser for strategic engagement, earns $150,000. Nathanael Tamarin, a special assistant to the president for public engagement, makes $96,900 a year.
The director of OPE, Jon Carson, pulls in $153,000 annually. Carson's deputy, Brian Bond, boasts a $93,840 yearly salary. OPE deputy directors Greg Nelson and Anne Filipic earn $92,000.
What, exactly, are all these minions paid to do? OPE describes itself as "allow(ing) the views of the ordinary American citizen to be more readily heard within the administration" and coordinating "events that bring members of the administration in contact with members of the public."
In reality, it's another publicly subsidized Obama spin operation by a different name.
These engagers are partially to thank for events like today's Twitter town hall, an online engagement effort to reinvigorate the same support base that carried Obama to victory in 2008.
The Twitter town hall focused on Obama's work in creating jobs and fixing the economy. Users asked their 140-character questions with the hashtag #askobama, and a pre-selected team of "seasoned Twitter users" handpicked the best #askobama tweets for the president to answer. Tough questions were in short supply, though, as the moderator of the town hall was Jack Dorsey, Twitter co-founder and close friend of the administration.
If only Eder had been selected to the seasoned Twitter users team, perhaps Obama would have faced more challenging questions this afternoon. Jesse Lee surely would have been tweeting about it.

Broken spring

This company originally installed the door, so we used the invoice to call them. They were able to respond in less than 24 hrs to repair/replace the spring and did a tune-up on another door. They were reasonably priced and gave us a quote before work began. They waived the service call fee for being a repeat customer. We were very grateful to have the door working again so quickly being it was a very heavy door and the middle of winter. Thanks!

Hide Forgot
Description of problem:
Meeting invitations sent using KOrganizer to Outlook users (or received from
Outlook users) do not reflect the recent change in daylight savings time.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
How reproducible:
Steps to Reproduce:
1. In Kontact, configure the current time zone to be America/New_York.
2. Have someone using a different calendar program send you a meeting invitation.
3. Accept said invitation using Kontact.
4. Note that the meeting time is one hour later than it is supposed to be.
Actual results:
Meeting invite is imported as if the current time zone is EST.
Expected results:
Meeting invite should be imported using EDT.
Additional info:
I believe this is due to incorrect timezone information in the ics files
installed by kdepim. There is a very long description of the related libical
problem here: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=301363 (see, for
example, comment #53)
Note that the file /usr/share/apps/libical/zoneinfo/America/New_York.ics
contains RRULE entries that show daylight savings time as beginning the first
Sunday of April, rather than the second Sunday in March (if I understand the
syntax of this file, that is):

Business Leaders in Control Workshop
Creating Sales Operational Excellence
As Business Leaders, your Senior Team and shareholders expect you to be fully in control. They demand Predictability, Reliability, Consistency and Sales Productivity from Business Results. Poor forecasting leads to a lack of confidence in the sales operation, stress and a feeling of being out of control.
Aimed primarily at people who drive sales, Business Leaders in Control is a two-day workshop addressing how sales operational excellence will drive predictable sales growth.
We demonstrate how this can be achieved by examining and refining key elements of existing sales leadership and management processes. People respect what you inspect – not what you expect.
We show how selling is a process, with themes that cover selling styles and sales behaviour; how managers measure and inspect key information; develop and coach sales staff, through to identifying and documenting an effective process that everyone can follow.
Managers as Coaches
To implement a new sales process and ensure sales operational excellence your sales leaders must be able to lead the way. We give leaders the skills to coach and develop their sales teams effectively.
Measuring the right things
Efficiency is doing things right. Effectiveness is doing the right things. We discuss key metrics, for both quality and quantity, needed to monitor and manage sales force productivity.
Selling Models and Skills
Selling to Recognised Needs and Unrecognised Needs requires different selling styles. We discuss the impact and document your skill development requirements – Deal Creators vs Deal Responders.
Business Leaders wrestle with the challenge of accurate sales forecasting. Poor forecasting affects the businesses negatively. This leads to a lack of confidence in the sales operation, stress and feeling of being out of control.

Just like any other controversial topic, it can be hard to navigate the information floating around the Internet. Is vaping safe? Will the vape explode in my face like I heard from a friend? These questions and many more come up in conversations daily with our customers.
First, we ask people to try and stay away from assumptions. Vaping is new, and the research is too, but there is plenty of information that already suggests it is a better alternative for those that smoke cigarettes. Since vaping creates a vapor, it does not burn chemicals like cigarettes. Also, vaping equipment and "mods" are completely safe, when used properly. In instances where the units malfunctioned, user error was typically the cause. When purchasing equipment related to vaping, it's important to buy from a local vaping retailer that can answer all your questions and demonstrate set up and cleaning for you. They can also help to ensure you have the proper set up for your needs.
Next, we encourage people to do their own research. Accusations of "popcorn lung" are not factual or based on evidence and no evidence suggests that anyone has died from vaping. We would be happy to explain what we have discovered in our years of experience and countless hours of research, but we encourage our customers to be informed. Only you can determine for yourself what vaping offers, for you. Mods, batteries, coils and e-liquid all affect the experience of vaping and can seem overwhelming at first, but with a little education anyone can better understand this misunderstood product.
If you have more questions about vaping, mods and safety, our staff at Alaskan Sweet Vapes will be happy to help on 224 N Yenlo St. in downtown Wasilla.

I have the beach bronze, fancy Nancy, and hot tamale? These are non sticky, long lasting, and leave a beautiful finish. I'd love to try all the other shades too!
Love the MK Nourishine Lip Gloss...love the feel and it's long lasting...give it a try!!!! So many colors to choose from...silky and not sticky! For a more formal/dressy look, put a little lip stick on first and top off with lip gloss.
The new Nourishine plus lip gloss formula was introduced a month ago, and it is phenomenal. It has antioxidants, amazing colour choices, long lasting colour, and feels so silky, not sticky like most coloured glosses. I love this product in Au Natural.
It's so soft and light, yet moisturizes the lips very well. They offer so many great colors, and it such a nice medium between harsh lipstick and lipgloss that appear clear on the lips, no matter the shade. It last forever and keeps my lips from shedding, which I find a lot of lip glosses tend to do. My favorites are melon sorbet, starry, and cream and sugar. Cream and sugar is great for a nude lip look or to neutralize a too deep lip color.
my teacher gave this to me because it wasnt her "thing" .... but i love this because its soft and smooth on your lips without too much shine ... i love the nuetral color too
i have two toned lips so its hard for me to find a shade that i really like and could wear everyday, thats why i wear lipglosses. it gives me a shine and it's not sticky. i hate glosses that are sticky. your hair tends to get on your lips b/c of the stickyness. with Mary Kay's lip gloss, its not sticky, its true to color, and its only $13
I have this product in 2 shades and I really like it. I really like them because depending on how much you put you can add a really soft shine or a plump your lips like hell!
I've use them alone and over other lipsticks and work great every time.
The only thing I din't like is that it's not long lasting. I think it goes too fast for me. You really need to keep it in your purse to put every now and then during the day.
I only have three mary kay things. This lip gloss is one of them, I have it in a bright pink color. It doesn't last long at all, which is why I only gave it 4 stars instead of 5, but its not sticky!
Its a very smooth gloss that actually moisturises your lips! My friend sells mary kay and I decided to buy that an a lipstick and an eyeshadow to support her, but I had a problem with there face creams once and was nervous to try anything else.
This gloss was a plesent surprise.
I normally have great experiences with MK products so I was quite surprised when I purchased the NouriShine Lip Gloss. After a few hours of wear my lips began burning. They felt like they were on fire. I removed it and my lips felt much better. A few days later I tried it again (I'm a gutton for punishment) except this time I used a lipstick and applied the gloss on top. It did the same thing. I ended up just having to throw it out. I can't even remember the name of the shade but I do remember it looking really good on me. :(

Before you can start relaxing in your spa you need to get it ready by following these simple start up instructions and Brilliance® for spas product recommendations.
After the spa is filled, have the spa water tested by your Authorized Brilliance® for spas Dealer. Balance the water according to the recommendations in this guide. Remember to also chemically clean your filter using Brilliance Filter Cleaner.
NOTE: Prior to using any floater, inspect openings to ensure an unrestricted flow of water.
NOTE: Brilliance® for spas Sanitizer is produced in a smaller, unique size, unlike common bromine tablets. Brilliance® for spas Sanitizer will dissolve at a more even rate and will ensure more consistent bromine levels. Some floaters may not be compatible with Brilliance® for spas Sanitizer, as the product may fall through the floater opening. Compatible floaters require an opening small enough to contain the sanitizer within the floater, or a screen to prevent Brilliance® for spas Sanitizer from leaving the floater.
NOTE: Brilliance® for spas Sanitizer should always be used with a floater and never added directly to the spa.
