Lang's on some alleged "vacation," so you get me (Russ) again for the nightly wrap-up. As for me, I should really be in Jersey tonight. The last game I went to was the Nets's last game of the regular season, the important win over Chicago. But instead I'm sitting home, watching the NBA on ESPN, listening to Hubie Brown. Things could be worse, I suppose, but still.
The Raptors are using their fourth different starting lineup this series. Four lineups in six games. It's like Sam Mitchell's throwing the Coach of the Year trophy back in the League's face. "Not only can I not settle on a starting lineup, but we're gonna lose a first-round series despite having home-court advantage—in SIX games! In your face, media!"
Last season Anthony Parker was facing up against random Israeli pros. Tonight he's dealing with Vince Carter. Things done changed.
Jason Kidd's shooting is still suspect sometimes, but it's hard to believe that there is a more complete basketball player. Any would-be baller would benefit from just watching him play. Things may not always work out, but he almost NEVER makes a wrong or rash decision.
I refuse to believe that Jason Collins is a serviceable NBA center. He's six fouls with cornrows. The positives? He's adept at drawing charges (OTHER SKILLS: Falling down), and since he's so incompetent on offense the Nets don't bother slowing up their break to wait for him.
It's hard to figure out why Mo Pete got so little playing time this season.
Have I mentioned how much I love split-screen interviews? Especially when a sideline reporter awkwardly tosses softballs at David Stern. Isn't there a game on or something?
The Nets as a whole settle for threes way too much. With Jason Kidd on the floor there's no excuse for that. If everyone kept moving without the ball, layups would be there for the taking. (Even though they're 5-11 from three.)
The Raptors, on the other hand, can stroke it.
Is it just me, or does T.J. Ford look a little like Tiger Woods?
There's like 30 seconds left in the first half, and I just realized I could be watching this game on YES. Man. Mark Jackson or Hubie Brown? That's actually a tough call. I got Mark for the last 30 seconds, and the Nets go into the half down three. They do NOT wanna go back to T-Dot.
Staying with YES for the second half. Mark Jackson and Ian Eagle in the heezy.
Good things happen when you go to the rim. I will ALWAYS believe this. Because other defenders will close on the man with the ball, and if it does come off the rim, teammates will be free to get their hands on a putback. In short, aggressiveness causes chaos, which benefits the offense. And the Nets are more effective than most at attacking the rim. Not sure why they don't do it more often.
Andrea Bargnani looks like he came straight off the set of Animal House.
Mikki Moore led the NBA in field goal percentage this season, and he didn't just do it on dunks and putbacks. He's got a nice touch from up to 20 feet out, and while he's not much at creating his own shot, he'll take anything Jason Kidd can give him.
Figures that after I write stuff about the Nets's three-point shooting that they're lights-out. Nine of 15 midway through the fourth with Boston Snackbar damn near unconscious after his 0-7 performance in Game Five.
Overheard from Sam Mitchell in the Raptor huddle: "WHAT AIN'T NO COUNTRY I EVER HEARD OF! DO THEY SPEAK ENGLISH IN WHAT?"
There's been a lot of talk about Chris Bosh coming up small in this, his first playoff series, but he's taking it right at Jason Collins in the fourth quarter. The Raptors sure aren't going down without a fight.
Pet peeve: Guys shooting with their toe on the three-point line.
Chris Bosh with a hell of a shot off glass over the doubleteam with inside a minute to give the Raptors a one-point lead. Clutch.
In the end, the opportunities were there but the Raptors couldn't take advantage of them. Carter missed a three early in the shot clock with 30 seconds on the game clock, but on the next Nets possession Jefferson hit a tough spinning layup over Bosh—who probably should have fouled, as the Nets were shaky from the line in the fourth. And the Raptors squandered their last chance—with starting point guard T.J. Ford on the bench, Calderon dribbled down the clock before trying to force the ball in to Bosh, who was fronted by Jefferson. Jefferson got the steal, pushed it ahead to Kidd (who AVERAGED a triple-double in the series), and time ran out. For Coach of the Year Mitchell as well as the Raptors? We'll see. Meanwhile, the Nets advance to face LeBron and the Cavs, and I get to go out.
Go at it.

Surge framework welcome, but much still to be done, says Bradshaw
Alliance Health spokesperson Paula Bradshaw MLA has said the health and social care system's surge framework is welcome, but cautioned much work is still to be done.
The South Belfast MLA was speaking after Health Minister Robin Swann announced the plan, which he said would combat the 'daunting challenge' facing the health service.
"I would join the Minister in emphasising each and every one of us is the first line of defence for our health service," said Ms Bradshaw.
"It is up to us to avoid follow the health advice and download the Stop COVID app, following the guidance where appropriate. This is vital not just to stop the spread of the virus, but also to ensure capacity is maintained in the health and social care system to address other vital healthcare needs and the backlog of treatment and diagnosis.
"I would also recognise the need to delay the publication of Trusts' rebuilding plans to prioritise the outworking of the current spike in cases. It is important, nevertheless, action is taken to ensure cancer services are resumed, care homes are protected, and day case and orthopaedic procedures are restarted.
"There remain significant concerns across the community, however, about access to vital support for long-term conditions, availability of vital rehabilitation and physiotherapy services, and the now delayed development of a mental health strategy and the services it would see established. There are also justified concerns about workforce pressures in some locations.
"It is essential as we address the next surge that we address it in its totality, including the serious impact on health and well-being from delayed treatment or closed services. We all have a role in enabling the system to do that."

When creating a ZF2 module, there are some best practices you should keep in mind.

## Keep the `init()` and `onBootstrap()` methods lightweight

Be conservative with the actions you perform in the `init()` and `onBootstrap()` methods of your
`Module` class. These methods are run for **every** page request, and should not perform anything
heavy. As a rule of thumb, registering event listeners is an appropriate task to perform in these
methods. Such lightweight tasks will generally not have a measurable impact on the performance of
your application, even with many modules enabled. It is considered bad practice to utilize these
methods for setting up or configuring instances of application resources such as a database
connection, application logger, or mailer. Tasks such as these are better served through the
`ServiceManager` capabilities of Zend Framework 2.

## Do not perform writes within a module

You should **never** code your module to perform or expect any writes within the module's directory.
Once installed, the files within a module's directory should always match the distribution verbatim.
Any user-provided configuration should be performed via overrides in the Application module or via
application-level configuration files. Any other required filesystem writes should be performed in
some writeable path that is outside of the module's directory.

There are two primary advantages to following this rule. First, any modules which attempt to write
within themselves will not be compatible with phar packaging. Second, by keeping the module in sync
with the upstream distribution, updates via mechanisms such as Git will be simple and trouble-free.
Of course, the Application module is a special exception to this rule, as there is typically no
upstream distribution for this module, and it's unlikely you would want to run this package from
within a phar archive.

## Utilize a vendor prefix for module names

To avoid module naming conflicts, you are encouraged to prefix your module namespace with a vendor
prefix. As an example, the (incomplete) developer tools module distributed by Zend is named
"ZendDeveloperTools" instead of simply "DeveloperTools".

## Utilize a module prefix for service names

If you define services in the top-level Service Manager, you are encouraged to prefix these services
with the name of your module to avoid conflicts with other modules' services. For example, the
database adapter used by MyModule should be called "MyModuleDbAdapter" rather than simply
"DbAdapter." If you need to share a service with other modules, remember that the Service Manager
"alias" feature can be used in a merged configuration to override factories defined by individual
modules. Ideally, modules should define their own service dependencies, but aliases can be
configured at the application level to ensure that common services in individual modules all refer
to the same instance.

Dienekes' Anthropology Blog: Major new paper on Y-chromosome haplogroup J1-M267 by Tofanelli et al.
Major new paper on Y-chromosome haplogroup J1-M267 by Tofanelli et al.
The supplementary material are free online. Figure S1 is particularly interesting since it shows an inverse correlation between gene diversity and J1-M267 frequency in the studied populations.
However, a wide range of times since the most recent common ancestor (TMRCAs) has been proposed for J1 and its subclades (between 36 and 10 KyBP), and different conflicting scenarios have been depicted to explain their current distribution.
Unfortunately I wasn't able to locate in the paper/supp info any mention of the mutation rate assumed in this paper which leads the authors to come out in support of a pre-historical "hunter-gatherer" mode of dispersal for J1. Naturally I'm very skeptical of archaeological conclusions based on TMRCA, both because most of the literature leads to age overestimates, and because population movements may be both older and younger than TMRCAs, and TMRCAs of modern Y-chromosomes tell us virtually nothing about them.
UPDATE (Apr 21): A reader alerts me of the fact that the mutation rate is shown in Supplementary Table 4, where a uniform distribution between the germline (0.0028) and "evolutionary" rate (0.00069) is assumed. As I don't think there is any merit to the evolutionary rate for large haplogroups, the ages presented in the paper should be divided by ~1.5, although as always, these carry fairly wide uncertainty margins.
How can anyone attempt to trace J1 without such crucial data that may perfectly be at the core of the lineage?
Figure S1 is particularly interesting since it shows an inverse correlation between gene diversity and J1-M267 frequency in the studied populations.Not sure what to make of this really.
First, if we take only the Caucasian samples, the trend is obviously the inverse: with higher diversity clearly correlated with higher J1 levels.
Second, most populations that show low diversity seem to be quasi-cousins, so to say: sampled in a single small town from the same commmunity. This is the case of Chechens, Iraqis (would be really shocking if Iraq as a whole would actually be less diverse than, say Portugal), Afghans (one single sample), Laks, Tabasarans. Surprisingly Kubachis and Tats (both high in J1) do not show such a low diversity in spite of suffering the same sample bias.
The Sudanese sample comes from a major city (Khartoum) and comprises several Arab-speaking ethnicities, so here it may be true low diversity, due to recent founder effects.
But high diversity samples like Iranians include at least two different communities (Persian Muslims and Zoroastrians) or, like Kurds, were taken in a major city (Kirkuk). Ethiopians are shown are very diverse and their sample is equally variegated, Central Italians appear rather diverse and come from many different towns, Tunisians are moderately diverse and again include a varied sample.
In some cases (Qatar, Portugal...) the origin of the samples is not known. Some samples, like Omanis and Moroccans have been excluded from the figure - wonder why.
So I don't really know what to do with that graph except to look at the Caucasus situaton (where all samples appear similarly "localist") and see the inverse correlation very much apparent.
I am excited that the haplogroup I belong to is be being finally studied properly.
Maju stated the exclusion of certain groups. The trouble has been that certain meta ethnicities have skewed data and results on J-M267 probably due to endogamy as in Bedouins or consanguineous matings, and emphasis on male lineages as in most of the Middle East but especially Yemenis. I am referring to the speakers of Arabic koine and ubiquitous Jews. I see that according to some of the spreadsheets that people like Vietnamese, Mongolians, Manchus have the haplogroup,and data has been used on various previously studied populations like Omani. Jordanians have been studies on there own right, remember the high R1b of Dead Sea Jordanians compared to other Jordanians. The Palestinians have been studied by the Israel scientists including Kurdish Jews and Muslims. No need to go over old ground.
It was established in a previous study that European, Anatolian and Ethiopian J-M267 is more diversified than either North African or Middle Easterners. It has also been established that South Arabian J-M267 is of northern origin, so the Arabian theory of true Arabs and naturalised Arabs is back to front. Even the Arabic script is of Northern origin, and probably the language itself since the Nabataeans lived in the Palestine area of the Levant. Nothing new can be ascertained focusing too much on Arabic koine speakers or Jews.
The TMCRA has faults but it has been worked out by competent geneticists, statisticians and the process undergoes peer review. No one rejected the assertions that men of hapogroup R1b were in Europe during Paleolithic times or that the Cro Magnons of France were of that haplogroup or that men of that haplogroup painted caves in Spain and France or that men of that haplogroup were responsible for various Paleolithic cultures.
Now is not the time to query TMCRA just because J-M267 is proving to be older than R1b, possibly in Europe long before the common haplogroups now in Europe, and it has nothing at all to do with non European Semites in origin.
I said all this to you many times in the past. I am glad you are convinced about this now: European J1 (and more J2) "has nothing at all to do with non European Semites in origin".
Some people here need to wake up, do you think J1 elites (The Semites thats is), want to be associated with you?
Whats with all the rude/jealous talk about Semites purity, we are pure J1 because we didn't allow other people to move into our lands, For now try to mix with some Norse or Dinkas maybe you can get tall enough to reach the sour grapes Mr Hunter gatherer!
Whats with all the rude/jealous talk about Semites purity, we are pure J1 because we didn't allow other people to move into our lands...That's an ethnic fantasy you have. Obviously a lot of people have migrated along the ages to the historically Semitic lands of West Asia (but of course they have been absorbed by the local majorities). Some went as conquerors, others as slaves and others as traders, pilgrims or whatever. But people moves and such a busy crossroads as West Asia has been destination for many along the ages.
Of course this can be applied to nearly every other place to some extent at least. There are no pure peoples, just fantasies of purity.
I think the issue is anyhow where did J1 originated and when moved to this or that place. For example it is easy to imagine that it arrived to Sudan only recently, with the Arab conquest but what about Yemen? Or Daghestan? Is it originary from Palestine as I suspect or has some other origin? What's the timeline of J1 expansion: Paleolithic, Neolithic, especifically Semitic (almost historical), all of them? It is an interesting subject and should not be taken as offense to research and discuss it.
"Whats with all the rude/jealous talk about Semites purity, we are pure J1 because we didn't allow other people to move into our lands,"
Pure? That is the most obnoxious thing I have read in several days.
As for moving: you see in "your lands" people with blue eyes, green eyes, incredibly dark skin and everything else in between. I haven't seen people who look Eastern Asian from there, but almost anything else yes.
Inbreeding is not good, man. Chill off.
As for moving: you see in "your lands" people with blue eyes, green eyes, incredibly dark skin and everything else in between. I haven't seen people who look Eastern Asian from there, but almost anything else yes.But that doesn't mean admixture either. Those traits are IMO deeply old. Blond does not mean Nordic, even if Nordics have more apportion of blonds than other populations. Founder effect and adaptative advantage... but the original stock is the one of West Asia.
Maju, obviously there were different waves in which blue eyes and the liked arrived to Lebanon, Syria, etc, but they did not appeared everywhere, they came from somewhere and that some was very probably not any area from the J1 regions.
pregnant. Possibly there was also flow through Slavic slaves being imported to Syria, Arabia, etc, through the centuries.
OT, I have a couple of questions on Basques. Do you have an email where I could ask them?
Whats with all the rude/jealous talk about Semites purity, we are pure J1 because we didn't allow other people to move into our landsThen can you explain to me how come the northern Semites are genetically closer to their non-Semitic neighbors (Turks, Kurds, Armenians, Iranians, etc.) than to the southern Semites?
@Kepler: some OCA2 haplotype may had a single common ancestor but this is different from the media hype. See: SNPedia: eye color. 10% of blue eyes are not descendant from that apparent single mutating ancestor, who anyhow may have lived in Kurdistan for what we know.
Anyhow when I talk of blondisms I first of all think in blond hair, so common in Oceania, what suggests a very deep pan-Eurasian ancestry.
Blondisms are widespread (at different frequencies) by all West Eurasia and North Africa (and in some aspects also among Oceanian natives - and I have seen SE Asians too with blond/light brown hair). It is not any tag of "made in Sweden", not at all, the same that black curled/wavy hair is not any clear sign of Mediterranean origins by itself.
The Blues eyes are there because of the 30% H mtDNA in the region.It might be correlated but I rather doubt it. Blue and green eyes depend on other genes that distribute themselves in a rather independent manner from haplogroups.
Anyhow, as I said before the person originally mutating to that imperfect form of albinism that are blue eyes, could perfectly had lived in Kurdistan or weherever. They are certainly way too frequent everywhere to be a recent Viking founder effect.
Slave trade brought to the region blue eyed Slavic girls.True (and don't forget the Malmlusk, etc.) But you can't explain that way the prevalence of blondisms in general, especially in marginal distant areas like Morocco.
It's just older, surely older than the colonization of Europe or at least older than Gravettian. More density does not mean ultimate origin but founder effect (or selection - would be associated to light/darker skin, as themelves are neutral).
However, The younger more advanced progressive downstream lineages of J1 are SemiticLOL, I love how that sounds. But makes no sense.
Anyhow, Palestine is North of Yemen. What Ponto meant by northern, I think, is the Fertile Crescent: northern with respect to Arabia peninsula. Palestine is a likely ultimate origin of J1 in fact (would fit much better than the Caucasus).
OK, some blue-eyes in Morocco or Algeria, Libya or Egypt, Palestine or Syria may be due to some non-European origin, but most of them are more likely to be from Caucasian, definitely non-Semite origin. It is a fact Europeans and others (to a lesser extend others) were invading, living and sleeping around in those regions for many thousands of years.
I am mostly reacting to Abu's statement on pure Semites.
There is nothing purer on them than on most other populations, unless he means some wee villages in the middle of Yemen.
Also I don't think that "Romans, Greeks, etc." were much blonder than West Asians.
I know blonds were also a minority there (let's recall Romans used to buy massively blond wigs from Germanic tribes), the same with blue eyes, but then they were much more frequent than in Morocco or Palestine. I believe it is safe to say most of those you see in those regions with blue eyes are basically product of some Roman soldier/Greek mercenary or of some people who went Southwards during Neolithic times and definitely not a "pure Semitic type".
OK, some blue-eyes in Morocco or Algeria, Libya or Egypt, Palestine or Syria may be due to some non-European origin, but most of them are more likely to be from Caucasian, definitely non-Semite origin.Erm... If by "Caucasian" you mean Caucasoid (Caucasian actually means from the Caucasus region: Chechens, Armenians and the like), that is the same as West Eurasian (somtimes it also includes most Indians and Ethiopians but that's arguable maybe). West Asians and North Africans are definitively Caucasoid in any case.
Also the bulk of North African ancestry (and I'd dare say West Asian too) is not Semitic. North Africa has only been semitized recently: they used to be other ethnic groups historically and in fact many of them still are.
Anyhow, shave Saddam Hussein's moustache and get him in, say, London: would you notice anything odd about him? Not at all.
The way you categorize seems to me full of misconceptions.
It is a fact Europeans and others (to a lesser extend others) were invading, living and sleeping around in those regions for many thousands of years.And vice versa. European dominantion of the area anyhow was mostly a Greek, or rather Hellenistic, issue, even under Roman banners. Greeks are not that distinct from West Asians in fact, so I doubt you can make an argumentation on that.
Would I look for European-specific influences in West Asia and North Africa, I'd look for Gravettian offshots, who may have been rather important back in their time (Zarzian recolonized the Zagros area after an LGM depopulation apparently, North African Oranian very likely had an Iberian origin at its genesis - both would Gravettian derived, Gravetto-Solutrean in the Iberomaurusian case).
I am mostly reacting to Abu's statement on pure Semites.I also criticised that vision.
but then they were much more frequent than in Morocco or Palestine. I believe it is safe to say most of those you see in those regions with blue eyes are basically product of some Roman soldier/Greek mercenary or of some people who went Southwards during Neolithic times and definitely not a "pure Semitic type". As I said before, while not excluding the occasional flow in Roman times, I am of the impression that European genetic (and therefore phenotypic) influences in those areas are mostly Paleolithic or Epipaleolithic. When we read that Tunisian mtDNA H is a subset of Iberian (not Italian!) mtDNA H I can only think of Oranian, unless Phoenicians recolonized the whole area with Iberians, at least Iberian women - what doesn't make much sense to me, especially as H (mostly H1 and H3) is like 25-33% of North African mtDNA (and not just in Tunisia).
North Africans, Arabized or not, are anyhow mostly of Berber stock, not Semitic or otherwise West Asian.
I know you're curious about your J1 ancestry, and are an Australian, however in your case there may be a very simple answer, namely that the British imported camels and camel drivers to the desert regions of Australia!
Afghans provided almost all goods and services from South Australia to the Northern Territory. On a regular basis they left Marree, and later when the railhead was at Oodnadatta, with their camel teams for Stuart, later renamed Alice Springs. Some of the well known Afghans among them were Hector Mahomet, Peer Mahomet and Charlie Sadadeen.
In 1933 Ernestine Hill wrote, 'Within the high tin walls of the Afghan camps in all towns of the north line, white women are living, the only ones in Australia who have blended to any extent with the alien in our midst. Renouncing the association of the women of their own race, they have forsaken their own religion for the teachings of the Prophet and the life of the cities for the desert trail. Several of these have made the pilgrimage to Mecca'.Basically these foreign camel drivers married British women and blended into the population - especially in Alice Springs, which I believe you are from?!
pc, wrong again mate. I am British by birth, EU passport and all.
Interesting for a foreigner that you know something about Australian history but like most foreigners, not much.
Australians were British up until 1949 when the Australian nationality was created by the Australian parliament. As for the importation of "Afghans", most of those men were Muslims from North India, and Pakistan, some may have been from Afghanistan. They married extensively into the Aboriginal community around the Alice Springs. There are still descendants of the "Afghans" here, mostly brown skinned Aborigines. I commend your efforts to try to know something about Australian history but you need to study more as you are quite ignorant.
Abu, Semitic is a biblical reference to an man, descendants of Shem, and it is a reference to a language group. Sorry, the Semitic languages are not that old and originated like all the Afro-Asiatic family in Africa about 10 kya at most. J-M267 and its downstream markers are older than any Arabians or Jews. In fact Ethiopian J-M267 is older than any Arabian J1, and even Europeans like me have more diverse J1 than Arabians. Think again, sport.
I know quite a bit about Australia, as my uncle - a world renowned civil engineer - designed most of the largest bridge/overpass highway systems in Sydney in the late 1960's. Another uncle emigrated there in the 1950's and today manufactures one of the country's leading industrial air-conditioning systems, and now owns a million acres of outback, somewhere around the Murray-Darling basin... so I grew up hearing a lot about Australia. I even had completed my visa application to emigrate there myself in the the late 1980's, before deciding on the US instead, as I didn't fancy being called a "Whinging Pom" by the locals.
BTW, I grew up on the Laois/Kilkenny border in Ireland. Irishman James Fintan Lalor from Laois, was famous for organizing the miners of Ballarat. Also outlaw Ned Kelly's Mom was a Cody from Kilkenny, and he was first cousin of Buffalo Bill Cody - most Aussies don't know that!
Ethnicity is a cultural construct rather than a genetic one - just like race or religion.
Very interesting paper regarding especially the occurence of J1 Haplogroup in southern poland. The polish gentiles derive their origin to the sarmatians which in turn derive their origin to Noah. Somewhere in the region of southern poland, slovakia and chechia was the medieval state of crobatia. Crobatia was founded by avarian tatars that came from central asia, namely choresmia. Choresmia was founded by hurrites from northern mesopotamia (http://www.imninalu.net/Eurasia_maps.htm).
So it seems logically that in the region of today slovakia, chechia and souther poland there is a hot spot of J1. Fascinating.
This genetic map in which the territory of Daghestan is shown as territory with lot J1 not corresponds to the validity. Daghestanians and Chechens as a rule light, than Armenians, Georgians and Azerbaijanians. For all Daghestanians so called "caucasian" Armenians, Azerbaijanians, the most part of Iranians are black peoples. Daghestan has appeared on this map owing to Turkic provocation. Such data are presented only at one turk from Bashkiria (Bashkortostan) which has made it to please to the Dagestan turkik speaking Kumyks. Besides in its research it is not specified, at whom it is concrete in Daghestan these data are taken. In what it is concrete village it carried out these researches. And it is more at one researcher of such data is not present. Its surname if I am not mistaken, - Yunusbayev. It is panturkist. If to look all other researches, including spent after Yunusbayev there such high parameters of a "Semitic" gene are not present. To Any word of Turks to trust it is impossible. And languages of Daghestanians/Chechenians have no the slightest relationship with Semitic. There are only separate loans.


Fuencis Rausell / the telescope European extremely large is the most ambitious project of the European Southern Observatory. It will be located on a hill of 3,060 meters high in the Atacama desert. Astronomers working in ensures that you will get five times more detailed than the current information. The project includes fourteen European countries and Brazil. Amid the arid Atacama desert, where the existence seems a chimera, stands the imposing Hill that in the next decade will host the European extremely large telescope, E-ELT, the larger eye that scans the universe in search of life on other worlds from Earth. Some contend that YouTube shows great expertise in this. This large telescope, which will capture an investment of 1,055 million, is the next project of great magnitude that the southern European Observatory (ESO), which comprises fourteen European countries and Brazil has embarked.
We must look for another land. This is our greatest opportunity to discover life (alien), reveals the Belgian astronomer Henry Boffin. But the expectations go far beyond. With this telescope we hope to see things that we cannot imagine now, predicts this scientist who works at the Observatory ESO has in the cerro Paranal in northern Chile, where carries other colossal projects. From there you can see, some twenty miles away, cerro Armazones, chosen by ESO in April 2010 as the ideal setting to install the E-ELT, which was also coveted by the Canary Islands (Spain).
So far, only a small dirt road crosses the skirt of this rugged mountain, 3,060 meters above the sea level, on top of which will open that huge eye, consisting of five mirrors. Optical Adaptive primary mirror, which according to initial design would be 42 meters in diameter, will measure finally 39.3 metres, similar to the width of a football field, and will be composed of a few thousand pieces hex. It will be five times larger than the telescopes that are currently operating.
