Phase Shifts and the Doppler Effect24(1956); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.1934140View Description Hide Description
If the path between a source S and an observer O is changed by an amount , the phase of the wave received by O is shifted by , where and are, respectively, the wavelength and frequency of the disturbance and is the speed of propagation, all measured by an observer fixed in the medium. The resulting change in observed frequency is , where is the time taken for the observation of the phase change. It is shown that these two statements are sufficient for the derivation of the acoustic Doppler effect equations in all cases. The extension to the relativistic optical Doppler effect also follows if the Einstein time dilatation is taken into account.
Demonstration in Static Electricity24(1956); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.1934141View Description Hide Description
A set of nylon or other textile filaments, supported by a pair of standoff insulators, can be used to demonstrate the effects of static electricity. Several methods of charging and discharging the filaments are described.
ψ Superposition and Quantum Rules24(1956); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.1934142View Description Hide Description
The superposition rule for probability amplitudes ψ is not a separate ad hoc assumption of a physical character but is a formal consequence of the arrangement of the states of a system in sets of mutually orthogonal states linked by probabilities of transition. Nor do the quantum prescriptions of Born and Schrödinger have to be introduced as ad hoc assumptions; they can be deduced as consequences of (a) the superposition rule, and (b) the definition of conjugates and as leading to a constant probability density in -space, a quality known from classical statistical mechanics.Quantum theory can thus be deduced from a nonquantal background.
Ferrimagnetic Resonance and Some Related Effects24(1956); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.1934143View Description Hide Description
The semiclassical resonancetheory for a system of coupled magnetic sublattices is briefly reviewed and some similarities and differences of ferromagnetic and ferrimagneticresonance considered. The use of the effective gyromagnetic ratio simplifies the interpretation of many experimental results for g-values. The qualitative application of this concept to some related phenomena shows that they can have features characteristic of the ferrimagnetic case.
Using the Snooperscope with the Spectrometer24(1956); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.1934144View Description Hide Description
The adaptation of the snooperscope to the spectrometer is described. With it the elementary student may observe the near ultraviolet and infrared spectrum as an extension of the visible. The visible lines still show in their colors. Some of the better sources for spectral demonstrations are recommended. The "snooperscope spectrometer" is effective in demonstrating the shrinkage of the continuous spectrum with decrease in temperature of the source.

Experiment on the Mechanics of Atomic Collisions24(1956); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.1934147View Description Hide Description
A chosen event in a nuclear emulsion is used as the basis of an experiment in a course in modern physics for seniors. It is one of a group of experiments designed to illustrate atomic interactions that has stimulated keen interest among students in nuclear plate work.
Progress Report on Physics in Engineering Education24(1956); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.1934148View Description Hide Description
This report reviews the activities of physics and engineering groups concerned recently with the problem of the role of physics in engineeringeducation. In particular, it describes briefly the interest shown in physics education by the Committee on the Evaluation of EngineeringEducation of the American Society for EngineeringEducation, the activities of the American Society for EngineeringEducation through its Physics Division, of the American Association of Physics Teachers through its Committee on EngineeringEducation, and the consideration given the whole problem by the American Institute of Physics through a special committee. Other pertinent material such as the ASEE-NSF sponsored conferences on various aspects of physics in engineeringeducation are included.
The Energy of Electric and Magnetic Fields24(1956); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.1934149View Description Hide Description
This note discusses the transition from the idea of the mutual potential energy of a static system of charges or currents to that of energy storage in a field. The argument is given first in a very simple form, where the transition can be made obvious, and this is followed by a more general discussion of the case in which permittivity and permeability are not independent of the applied fields.

Reproductions of Prints, Drawings, and Paintings of Interest in the History of Physics. 72. Other Unrecorded Fifteenth-Century Paintings in which Spectacles Appear24(1956); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.1934151View Description Hide Description
This article calls attention to the fact that a fifteenth-century painting in which spectacles appear is to be found in the Fogg Museum of Art at Harvard University. Another unlisted painting of this type which hangs in the Art Gallery in Glasgow is also described.
Hydromagnetism. II. A Review24(1956); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.1934152View Description Hide Description
The theoretical foundations having been given in Part I, phenomena here reviewed are: character and magnitude of the geomagnetic secular variation, the geomagnetic westward drift, hydromagnetic interpretation of irregularities in the earth's angular velocity; nature of fossil magnetism,magnetization of historical and prehistorical bricks and clays, of eruptive and sedimentary rocks, reversals of the earth's field in the geological past, evidence for pole migration; exploration of solar magnetic fields, the solar convection zone, magnetic fields of sunspots, the sunspot cycle, the over-all solar field, observations of magneticstars,variablemagneticstars; fields in the solar corona, streamers and prominences, magnetic storms and auroras, planetary fields, the galactic field, the problem of cosmic rays.
Some Deterrents to Effective Teaching24(1956); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.1934153View Description Hide Description
At the University of Washington, students of 284 classes anonymously rated their teachers on clarity of lectures, awakening of interest, and three other matters. At the end of the rating scale were spaces for comments. Over 90% of the students wrote comments. For the 57 teachers whose mean rating on the scale was either in the top 10% or the bottom 10% of the faculty, we made statistical analyses of the comments by their 1503 students.
The two groups of teachers appear to differ fundamentally in their conception of the students and, consequently, in their techniques of motivation. The low-rated teachers seem to be seriously out-of-touch with their students and to view them cynically. For example, these teachers frequently dwell upon the obvious, repeat the text or their lectures too much, ridicule the students, ignore questions, and use much sarcasm. The top-rated teachers apparently rarely or never do these things.
Other statistically significant differences between the two groups also are presented and discussed.

I've downloaded the WP eCommerce plug in for the CraftyCart template and I need to know how to include the "ADD TO CART" or "BUY NOW" button in the Blog page. I understand these buttons appear in the Products page, but I also want the purchase button to appear in the blog as well. Anyone know how to do this?
It may sound redundant to feature the "BUY NOW" option in BOTH the Blog page and Products page, but I see that the keywords entered in the search engine widget pulls text from the Blog page. So for example, if a customer wants to shop and conducts a search for women's clothes, they will be directed to the Blog page. If they see an item they like, they should be able to hit the purchase button immediately and purchase the item(s), RATHER than searching for this item once again in the Products page.
Any help is VERY appreciated. Thanks!! --Susan

Moaveni was actually born in Palo Alto, California to secular Islamic Iranian immigrants who did indeed leave Iran during the tumultuous days of the Iranian Revolution nearly thirty years ago. Her story is about returning to Tehran during the years leading up to 9/11 and working as a stringer and then as a reporter for Time Magazine and other publications. Hers is a very personal story, as all memoirs are, in which she attempts to capture the estrangement that one feels being, as the subtitle has it, "Iranian in America and American in Iran."
Thanks to Moaveni's obvious love of language and some very nice editing by Kate Darton at Public Affairs, she has written a most engaging and strikingly vivid account. To be honest I could not, as the reviewer's cliche has it, "put it down." I read it in one gulp absolutely delighted with Moaveni's vivid, candid and honest narrative. She is hip, sophisticated beyond her years, stylish, and very well informed. Her prose approaches poetry and because she is always concrete, it is never boring or estranged from the needs of the reader, as memoirs can sometimes be.Read more ›
Let's begin with what we can agree upon: Whatever her intentions, the author presents her particular vision of life as an Iranian-American, and, more broadly, a first-generation American; the author has promising writing talent and a distinct authorial voice which time and further editing will likely refine; LJ is in fact essentially a memoir (and Moaveni in her afterward owns that despite her initial rectitude about the "memoir" label, LJ evolved into one); and, because this a memoir, it is and must be regarded as one woman's personal experience, focused on accounts of those close to her and with whom she has come in contact.
On to the disagreements. I would like to address prior reviewers whose dislike of the book is based largely on Moaveni's so-called "privileged" experience/viewpoint, and (necessarily) limited focus on the wealthier and so-called "Westernized" segments of Tehran society. This by itself can by no means be a legitimate objection to a book, whether fiction or non-fiction. As others have pointed out, the book is a personal journey; it is necessarily limited to the author's experience. Likewise, had this been a work of fiction, the author would have equal license--that is, artistic--to focus on the segment of society he or she chooses.Read more ›
The appropriate question to ask is not what the subject of her book is, but how well she has captured it. It is for this that I only give three stars. She rides from interesting anecdote to interesting anecdote, and when discussing her sense of being suspended between Iranian and American identities she can really shine. But her attempts to draw perspective often left me skeptical. She's fully capable of viewing her environment critically, but I'm not convinced she ever transcended it, looked back and encapsulated it for her audience.
When I finished each chapter I was not compelled to start the next and only rarely found myself lost in its pages. I am glad I read the book, and learned much about the political and social dimensions of life in contemporary Iran. But a memoirist's role is larger - even, in some ways, dishonest. For a memoir must universalize the personal, must order and narrate a life that rarely comes with either. In Moaveni's abstraction of her experience she only puts forward an interesting read, not a great one.

I learned a lot about Tehran and the post-revolutionary lifestyle. What I specifically found as a struggle was the bias towards the Muslim veil. Read morePublished 20 days ago by Zahabiya

I had heard lots of good about this one, maybe that's why I felt so disappointed after reading half of it....I couldn't finish it. A poorly written book with nothing new to offer.Published 10 months ago by Az InBetween

SMP/E Internet Service Retrieval
You can use a new form of the SMP/E RECEIVE command to request a z/OS platform service order from a dedicated IBM server, download the resultant service package to z/OS, and process the PTF and HOLDDATA contents of that package all in one simple step. This allows you to order and retrieve service on demand or you can automate the service delivery process by scheduling an SMP/E job to run at the interval you choose. To use the new SMP/E Internet Service Retrieval capability, SMP/E requires the IBM Software Developer Kit for z/OS, Java 2 Technology Edition V1R4 (5644-I56) or its logical successor. Java is not required for the installation of SMP/E but is required at run time to use this SMP/E function.
If you currently use ShopzSeries or Service Update Facility (SUF) to order and obtain PTFs through the internet, you should consider using SMP/E Internet Service Retrieval instead. SMP/E can provide a simpler and more automated method to acquire z/OS service than ShopzSeries or SUF.
ICSF mitigation
SMP/E no longer requires z/OS Integrated Cryptographic Services Facility (ICSF) to calculate SHA-1 hash values for the GIMZIP and GIMUNZIP service routines, nor for the RECEIVE FROMNETWORK or RECEIVE FROMNTS commands. If SMP/E detects ICSF is not available, then SMP/E will automatically use an SMP/E Java application class to calculate SHA-1 hash values as an alternative. To use this new alternative, SMP/E requires the IBM Software Developer Kit for z/OS, Java 2 Technology Edition V1R4 (5644-I56) or its logical successor. Java is not required for the installation of SMP/E but is required at run time to use this SMP/E function.
Improved load module build
SMP/E enhances the load module build phase of the APPLY, RESTORE and LINK LMODS commands to be more tolerant of allocation errors for the distribution libraries accommodating situations where distribution libraries may be off-line. In these cases, SMP/E continues its search for a useable copy of the module instead of immediately failing due to an error allocating the distribution library.
When change was introduced: Integrated in SMP/E for z/OS V3R4 and available in SMP/E for z/OS V3R3 and SMP/E for z/OS V3R2 with APAR IR53963.

You will never experience less reality than when you are watching a reality show. You're watching people who aren't actors, put into situations created by people who aren't writers and they're second guessing how they think you would like to see them behave if this were a real situation, which it's not. And you are passively observing this; watching an amateur production of nothing. It's like a photo of a drawing of a hologram.

Vegan Cheese-y Delights
Cheezy Tofu Spread with Pine Nuts
This creamy spread is adaptable enough to serve at any meal. To prepare an open-faced sandwich for breakfast, spread a generous layer on whole grain bread, top with sliced tomatoes and vegan cheese, and melt it under the broiler. For a lunchtime sandwich, apply the spread generously to two slices of bread and add sliced tomato, onion, cucumber, avocado, lettuce, and sprouts. Include some pungent herbs like basil, arugula, or mint leaves for extra zest. For dinner, use it in place of ricotta for lasagne, stuffed pasta shells, and stuffed eggplant roll-ups. Recipe contributed by Zel Allen, from The Nut Gourmet. more→

By In memory of Ebenezer the donkey
from Kansas City, MO
A great reminder that the careful and sweet donkey was chosen to carry Mary to Bethlehem. A donkey was there at His birth and death - thus the reason for the symbol of the cross on the donkey's back.

At Home With Stephanie Odegard
Good Weaves Meet Good Deeds
Published: September 26, 2002
(Page 2 of 2)
Ms. Odegard's persistence paid off: her carpets got wide play in magazines after they were chosen for the Getty Museum in 1997 and for the Phillips Collection, the museum in Washington, in 2000. David Rockwell, the New York architect, began using Ms. Odegard's carpets in his projects as well, including the rooms and the mezzanine of the Chambers Hotel, which opened last year. "She's completely modern without being minimal," Mr. Rockwell said. "There's complexity and depth to everything she makes."
Ms. Odegard is now among the biggest importers of Tibetan carpets to the United States, where some three million square feet of Tibetan carpets were imported last year, according to the Central Carpet Industries Association, a trade group in Nepal. In 1985, Americans imported 70,000 square feet of carpet from Nepal. The market's growth, which began in the mid-90's, can be at least partly credited to Ms. Odegard. A glance inside any design magazine shows ads from more than a dozen boutique-size Tibetan carpet makers, few of which were in business a decade ago.
And, said Ms. Barry of Women's World Banking, the boom has helped shore up Nepal's faltering economy, just as Ms. Odegard envisioned.
Jack Lenor Larsen, the fabric designer, acknowledged Ms. Odegard's contribution: "Stephanie created the market for Tibetan carpets as an element in contemporary design. Now they're everywhere, enormously important. That's entirely because of her. She was the first to do it, and she was alone doing it for many years."
Ms. Odegard now works from a 15,000-square-foot showroom at 200 Lexington Avenue. The four Nepali-owned factories where her carpets are made employ more than 10,000 workers. Next month she will open Paradeisos International Design Studios, a 30,000-square-foot, three-building complex designed by Alison Spear in the Miami design district. There, she will focus on an expanded line of her designs, including jewelry and fabrics.
At home, Ms. Odegard seems a particularly unlikely type to have spent her life muscling her way into the American rug market. If she is pugnacious, she hides it behind a gentle facade, calm blue eyes and a wardrobe of handmade linen and draped wool. She is the largest American financial supporter of Rugmark, an anti-child-labor organization, to which she gives 1.7 percent of the selling price of her rugs ($60,000 last year) and a third of her time. She contributes at least $100,000 more to initiatives of her own, like building a school in Katmandu.
But when she speaks about her social agenda, she has no canned human rights spiel. When she mentions the carpets underfoot, which she changes every few months — "to get to know all of them, really deep down" — she reflexively leads the conversation back to the skill of the weavers and how the factory owners she works with have become enlightened about child labor.
"It's hard for me to talk about myself in any sort of reflective way because I've never had the time to even think about it," she said. "Some people have a totally formed idea of where they're going from the beginning, but I didn't. I really thought I would just go back and forth and help a few people. I had no idea it would turn into this."
Although she spends much of her life on the road, mainly in India and Nepal, her Upper East Side apartment serves as a place to retreat from what she calls the "soul-draining energy" of New York and as a casual warren for her collection. This year, after friends chided her about her small apartment, Ms. Odegard, who is single, purchased the apartment below hers to make an 800-square-foot duplex. But she has not found the time to start a real renovation.
In one corner there are some pieces of Murano glass, and above an artfully worn Chesterfield couch there is a painting by Chucho Reyes, a Mexican painter who worked with Luis Barragán in the 1920's, but most of Ms. Odegard's pieces are crafts from cultures she has seen up close.
"I see more than just the objects, I see the people who made them," she said. "It's like looking at a Gauguin painting and wondering what those women in Fiji or Tahiti were thinking. I know what they were thinking."

Mafioso: Why I Hate Lazy People
Imagine, I think I run a tight ship and yet, I have a bordello on my hands. So, what's happening in the rest of corporate America?
Like I said, we have a disease on our hands. La gente è pigra.
The lazy pretendersNow, it's one thing to be lazy, and be open and straight about it; it's another to pretend and hide that fact like a snake. Homeless people are lazy and worthless, but at least they're honest about it, and that's about the only thing I respect when it comes to vagabonds. Every night they spend on the streets, they broadcast to the world how lazy they are. All you sentimental idiots who think I'm inhumane and evil should follow them around for 24 hours to see how useless they've made themselves.
At least homeless people get punished for being lazy. Every day they have no shelter, they beg for food and they have to rot in their own filth. Unfortunately, there is a smarter breed of lazy people who know the rules of life and somehow manage to live the good life through their laziness.
The "pretenders" are the lazy people who do just enough to hide their laziness. I have a couple of these guys in my crew. When they were just associates, they worked their asses off to prove themselves, doing things right away when told, being reliable, and needing little more than a line or two of motivation from Vince Lombardi to produce their weekly score. The minute they became "made," Santa Maria , their ambition evaporated faster than a hooker's when she gets paid before the sex.
Now that these soldiers are made and in the family, they make a stink about what they do, but they don't do anything; they pretend . A lot of dumb bosses can't see through their BS, but a smart boss does, and a smart boss knows all the tricks of the trade. What happens when a pretender meets a smart boss? He becomes homeless, at least until the pretender finds another babbo boss who doesn't see through the bull crap.
Nowadays pretenders have infiltrated every business across the world, maintaining the status quo of doing nothing and getting paid for it because they are smarter than regular lazy people who don't understand the rules of the game. Like I tell my loyal soldiers who have half a brain: "If it weren't for pretenders, in business and in government, we'd have a bridge to the moon by now."
What are these lazy bastards up to?

From Ganymede Test & Measurement: Aimed at both the casual user and the serious archivist, Wave Corrector is a true WYSIWYG waveform corrector which automatically removes clicks and hiss from vinyl and tape/cassette recordings. Correction artefacts are kept to a very low level by sophisticated algorithms which replicate the waveform underlying the noise. Other tools include digital filters to remove hum and rumble and for correcting tonal balance. The program also divides multi-track album files into separate CD track files. Unlike other similar products, Wave Corrector allows individual click corrections to be auditioned and edited (adjusted) for maximum fidelity. Corrections can also be manually inserted or removed. A graphical display overlays the corrected and uncorrected waveforms so that they can be visually as well as aurally compared. Even badly damaged original recordings can thereby be restored to near pristine condition and the user has complete control over the restoration process.

Did You Know?
Majuscule looks like the complement to "minuscule," and the resemblance is no coincidence. "Minuscule" appeared in the early 18th century as a word for a lowercase letter, then later as the word for certain ancient and medieval writing styles which had "small forms." "Minuscule" then acquired a more general adjectival use for anything very small. "Majuscule" is the counterpart to "minuscule" when it comes to letters, but it never developed a broader sense (despite the fact that its Latin ancestor majusculus has the broad meaning "rather large"). The adjective "majuscule" also exists (as does "majuscular"). Not surprisingly, the adjective shares the noun's specificity, referring only to large letters or to a style using such letters.
Origin and Etymology of majuscule

Radiation Sickness, Cellular Damage and Increased Cancer Risk for Long-term Missions to Marsby Ian O'Neill
There is a nagging problem under the surface of the excitement surrounding the future of long-term missions into space. Human exposure to the high amounts of solar radiation and other sources of cosmic rays is likely to be the main factor that could curtail mankind's dreams for future manned settlements on other planets. The effects of radiation exposure to astronauts is not fully understood, but could range from acute radiation sickness (perhaps after being caught in an intense solar storm during interplanetary transit) to gradual cellular damage, greatly increasing the risk of cancer in long-term missions. So what can we do about it? Mankind is highly adaptive and some countermeasures are gradually being realized. (And yes, the Russian Space Monkeys might be able to help…)
The problem comes when humans leave the protective blanket of the Earth's magnetic field. Acting like a huge, invisible force field, the magnetosphere deflects most of the harmful high energy particles being fired from the Sun. Anything that penetrates this barrier is quickly absorbed by our thick atmosphere. Even at high altitudes, in low Earth orbit, some protection to astronauts can be provided (although the ambient radiation is far higher up there than down here). So when we talk about colonizing other planets and sending astronauts further and further into deep space, radiation exposure becomes a bigger risk.
An immediate concern is that astronauts may get caught in a solar storm, where the Sun (usually around solar maximum) ejects huge clouds of highly energetic protons. If the storm is intense enough, huge doses of radiation could be inflicted on the men and women in space. Roughly, a dose of 500 rads or more will kill a human in two to three hours, and a smaller dose could cause acute radiation sickness. Radiation sickness could be fatal in weeks should the astronaut not receive urgent medical care. How about the long-term, gradual impact of prolonged exposure to higher-than-normal doses of radiation? This is an area of space medicine that we do not completely understand as yet.
In new research by the Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center at Georgetown University Medical Center, the high-energy nature of radiation in space may lead to premature aging and prolonged oxidative stress in cells. This also suggests that astronauts risk a higher than normal risk of cancers, such as colon cancer, through exposure to "high linear energy transfer" (LET) radiation. LET radiation consists of the high energy protons emitted by the Sun and cause a huge amount of damage to small areas of tissue.
"Radiation exposure, either intentional or accidental, is inevitable during our lifetimes, but with plans for a mission to Mars, we need to understand more about the nature of radiation in space. There is currently no conclusive information for estimating the risk that astronauts may experience." – Kamal Datta, M.D., assistant professor at Lombardi and lead author.
With NASA's Project Constellation on the horizon, there has been a focus on the long-term effects of interplanetary radiation. Ultimately, this project aims to send humans to the Moon and Mars, but there are strong indicators that astronauts will face in increased cancer risk and lifespan reduction, a massive hindrance to a mission spanning several months or a thriving proto-settlement.
This is where the lab mice help us out. The amount of "free radicals" (highly reactive molecules often linked with cancer and cell aging) were measured and found that the mice developed highly oxidative (i.e. full of free radical molecules) gastrointestinal tracts when exposed to space-like high-LET radiation. The Lombardi group concluded that the mice had developed a high risk to various cancers, particularly gastrointestinal cancers. They also noticed that after exposure (even after two months), the mice prematurely aged, signifying that the effect of radiation damage can persist long after exposure to a high-LET environment.
So what can we do? There are several plans in motion to further test the effects of radiation on humans and to predict when astronauts will be at risk. This week, Russia announced (controversial) plans to send monkeys back into space, possibly as far as Mars. Once the shock of this "outdated" proposal wore off (the previous Russian space monkey program ran out of funding in the 1990's), it became very clear as to what the Russian space agency is hoping to achieve: to have a better understanding of the long-term exposure to a high-LET environment on the human physiology. Many will argue that this practice is cruel and unnecessary, but others will say monkeys are used in experiments every day, why shouldn't they help us in the ultra-modern world of space travel? The jury is still out on this debate, but there are many ways to investigate and counteract the radiation effect on humans.
There are also many systems in place to protect mankind from the onslaught of solar storms. Using the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) and other craft located between the Earth and Sun, an early warning system has been set up to provide astronauts on orbit with some time to take cover should a solar flare be launched Earth-bound. This system is fully operational and has already proven itself. Recently, I toyed with the idea of a similar Mars-based early warning system, providing future Mars colonies with about 40 minutes advanced notice of an incoming solar storm.
Shielding is another obvious protective measure. Lunar and Mars colonies are most likely going to use large amounts of regolith to block the incoming particles. Only a few meters of locally dug-up regolith will provide excellent protection. But what about the journey to Mars? How will the astronauts of projects such as Constellation be protected? Perhaps an advanced "Ion Shield" might work?
Whatever the effect of radiation on humans in space, it seems obvious that we are in the infancy of space flight and we are already addressing some of the most difficult problems. Over the next few years, much effort will be focused on the health of astronauts, hopefully finding some answers to the space radiation problem.
Original source: Georgetown University Medical Center
Forget sending Monkeys to Mars. Send humans from the get go. It is so politically unacceptable to put humans life in danger in such a high profile venture, but it wasts money and time unnecessarily. Going to mars isn't supposed to be a walk in the park, and this venture, as in all of the great exploratory movements of the past, will turn up plenty of qualified people willing to risk a 10-20% increased risk of Cancer.
Case studys have already shown an extra 1% increase in radiation exposure as to what we get on earth by going to Mars. (see Case For Mars, By R. Zubrin)
This radiation 'problem' is just more time wasting nonsense.
In terms of risk, anyone going there would gladly accept any risk, for example in everyday life, I accept the risk when I cross a street that a car may hit me.
But that does not stop me crossing the street, why should the risk of radiation stop us going to Mars?
Its about time mankind and their repective goverments 'grow a pair' and go to Mars.
I'm with cheech on this one.
100% opposed to manned (or monkey) space flight.
Very interesting.But wait humans already went to the Moon…. or THEY DID NOT.
We certainly have to fully solve this problem before space travel beyond Earth's orbit becomes commonplace. Until then, as a previous commenter says, there will be a level of risk that is acceptable to the astronauts and the taxpaying public. If offered the chance to be one of the first people on Mars at the possible cost of five years of life-expectancy (ignoring the danger of not coming back at all) then I would be willing to bet that the vast majority of the qualified people would jump at the chance.
I don't think i is exactly 1%, had heard it was at least that and possibly .5% higher in some quotes. However, I don't think the increased cancer rate is a big deal given the ever increasing rates of it here on earth. The biggest problem is the lack of treatment available to them.
Opponents to manned space flight underestimate the "imagination factor." Photos sent from the lunar surface captured the attention and imagination of nearly two generations. Similar phenomena happened when colonists sent back reports about a "New World." We need a spark to provide a long term commitment of resources and agenda to space exploration. I don't think there would be any shortage of people willing to subject their bodies to radiation in exchange to the among the first to set foot on new soil…
I believe your numbers are off, 5000 rad will be lethal in hours. 500 rads, rapidly delivered, is fatal to some of the population but only after a long course of radiation sickness.
If humans didn't go and explore themselves most of the people leaving comments here would be doing so from Europe and not from America.
We'd still be in the dark ages huddled together in dark box.
Its in our nature to explore and to do it ourselves.
I think somebody spoke too soon. See, e.g., http://www.sciam.com/article.cfm?id=new-drug-protects-against-radiation-damage
ok . sooo
moon mission is all fake
The answer will probably be a radically adapted outer skin of carbon fiber, just as a stealth plane uses. The internal sandwiching construction actually refracts/radiates the probe impulse around the craft to see the empty sky on the other side.

How was you LO conceived?
Birth control
Pull out method
Broken condom
Not sure
~ Amanda ~ Wife to Philip ~ Proud mommy of a little girl Olivia Willow Grace 2/25/10 and another little girl on the way - Ella Mae - due 2/14/16
1 planned. 1 unplanned (pills, condom and in the same state for <72 hours).
""👈 this shit isnt the punctuation worlds version of jazz hands goddamnit
FTM/Single mother to Isabella Susan born 12/29/09 6lbs 15oz!
Follow My blog! http://mommy2izzy.blogspot.com/
Planned, in that we talked about it. I had always kept the baby making on lock down, but had a change of heart in my early 40's. Could I? My OBGYN said I was healthy and it was possible. My ex and I only knew each other 9 months, living together for 3, when we decided to stop using condoms. So we weren't exactly trying, but rolled the dice. I soon fell pregnant! Easy pregnancy and a healthy baby.
The unplanned part was that I took a chance on making a baby with someone I didn't know very well. Didn't have time to lose if we were really going to try. I'm paying the price for that now, although I still feel like I won the lottery as far as my LO goes.
Pull out method FAIL....No lie. BF at the time and I went out one night, I was fairly drunk, he was not. He drove me home and came inside with me, of course we had sex, only this time he decided NOT to pull out. I was apparently drunk enough (give me a break plz I was 21 then) that I didn't even really notice until the next day and he told me! I was livid but in the back of my mind thought, come on, what are the chance that it would happen this once?
Apparently pretty high, or I just had some bad luck. But I wouldn't trade her for the world now that I have her. So no she was not planned.
I was on BC and taking antibiotics. Like a dummy, I didn't realize how they interacted. I don't regret it though!

Definition of hot-desking in English:
The practice in an office of allocating desks to workers when they are required or on a rotating system, rather than giving each worker their own desk.
Example sentences
- But this tradition is breaking down, due to practices such as hot-desking, business travel and tele-commuting.
- The modern preference for hot-desking in open-plan offices also gets a cool reception from workers.
- We keep a number of desks free for hot-desking, so I use one of those.

Ingredients Nutrition
- vanilla wafer cookie (round)
- 396.89 g can fat-free sweetened condensed milk
- 118.29 ml lemon juice
- 226.79 g container fat-free cool whip
- Mix condensed milk and lemon together well.
- Line a pie plate with wafer cookies, up sides as well.
- Pour mixture over cookie wafers.
- Add Cool Whip on top.
- Refrigerate until pie is firm and serve!
Most Helpful
This was just too easy and very delicious! I got 1/2 cup of juice from 2 lemons. I thought that there wasn't going to be enough filling but it was the perfect amount. It just covered the cookies and the Cool Whip evens out the taste to give it the perfect sweet/sour combination. This is definitely a new family favorite. Thanks so much for posting!
Can I just say yum, yum, and yum? This simple lemon pie is memorable. I squeezed fresh lemon juice, and also added in the zest from the lemons. I didn't have vanilla wafers on hand, so I made a quickie graham cracker crust instead. And since the farmers' market is exploding with fresh fruit right now, I topped this pie with slices of fresh peaches and fresh raspberries, and we just skipped the cool whip. What a treat! I will definitely use this one over and over again, for its simplicity and ease. I also think that it would be very nice frozen and served very cold, with fruit and whipped topping. That will be for the next time I make this stunning (but simple!) dessert. Sorry there is no picture -- the pie was gobbled up in about 30 seconds, and I couldn't even get my camera out of the case. Thanks, Ocean~Ivy.
I used a prepared graham cracker crust, but followed the recipe otherwise. This is a very easy, very rich pie that set up well.
