Solar eclipse 2017, as seen from (ironically) Wheatland, Wyoming 1
DENVER, COLORADO — Today's total solar eclipse was my fourth and my son's first, and despite some traffic delays, it was a total success! Our plan was to witness the eclipse from Casper, Wyoming, where I once worked, so we got up early to drive from Denver. But, traffic on I-25 was slower than we expected, and we realized that if we continued to Casper, we'd miss most of the show, including totality. So, we opted to stop at Wheatland, which was just on the edge of totality. [See map below.] We got there just in time for me to mount my camera on a Benro tripod to catch first contact (no ETs, sorry). To minimize camera shake, I used a wireless shutter release for all of these shots. Unlike in 2009, when I used a #14 welding glass to shoot the eclipse in Wuhan, China — which made everything unnaturally green — I used a solar filter film from Thousand Oaks Optical. I waited too long to order a screw-on camera filter, so I settled for taping the film over the lens hood. Low tech, but it worked. Also, I discovered the camera could not automatically adjust the shutter ...

Making a scale model of the solar system (video)
Some of my American students may recall our attempt at drawing the solar system to scale along Broadway in front of SFHS. It's not easy to get both the size of the planets and the distances between them to scale. This video explores that question.

#PlutoTime in Jishou, China
As you've probably heard by now, the New Horizons probe swung past Pluto yesterday, taking the first close-up photos of the most distant planet (now classified a dwarf planet) in the solar system. Pluto is almost 32 times further from the Sun than Earth is, so midday on the surface of Pluto is going to be a lot dimmer than it is here. But how much dimmer? Well, as it turns out, there's enough light to read a book, though standing outside near a lake of frozen nitrogen is probably not a wise choice. Better bring a blanket. NASA has a web app, called Pluto Time, to give you an idea of the lighting conditions on Pluto's surface. Find your location on a map of the Earth and it will tell you the time when the ambient light on Earth approximates the conditions on Pluto, minus the starry skies and frozen lakes of nitrogen that your feet have just melted into. Generally speaking, #PlutoTime on Earth is in twilight, either before sunrise or after sunset. For Jishou today, it was 7:44 pm. So after dinner, I went to the top of my apartment building and took five shots of the ...

Photo: Crescent Moon and Venus, March 23
TAOHUAYUAN, HUNAN — I was on my way back from Changsha Monday evening, and snapped this shot of the Moon and Venus in the western sky around 7:15 pm with my cellphone. The shots are grainy, because I didn't have time to diddle with the phone's settings. I just let it set the ISO, etc. automatically. Still, not bad for a cellphone. The Changsha-Jishou bus typically makes a pit stop at the TaoHuaYuan rest area — about halfway — so time was limited. The color in the left hand shot I corrected with IrfanView's automatic mode. The color in the right hand shot I left as is.

A peek at a possible future in space
Using real images taken by space probes and telescopes, Erik Wernquist created this awesome short video, showing what humanity's future might be like if we don't kill ourselves off in the interim. Around 1:50 you'll see a Martian sunset image similar to the one I use as the banner here. They were taken by the NASA/JPL Opportunity probe. The narration is by the late Carl Sagan, Cornell astronomer, author, and co-creator of the first Cosmos series. One wonders what Megan Fox, the creationist homeschooler, would say about this film short.

Cool SF short features Rosetta comet mission
Sometime in the far future, humans develop the power to build worlds. Game of Thrones fans will recognize Aiden Gillen as the teacher. His apprentice is played by Aisling Franciosi. The Rosetta orbiter is still following Comet 67P on its way around the Sun. The Philae lander has an electrical starvation problem. It successfully landed on the sunny spot chosen as its best location, but it bounced off the surface of the comet twice and landed in a shady area that gets only 1.5 hours of sunlight every Earth day. That's not enough sunlight to recharge Philae's batteries, so the washing-machine-sized probe ran through its primary scientific tasks as quickly as possible before it went dark. Philae was able to drill into the surface and analyze the composition of the sample. It relayed that data to Rosetta, which then forwarded it to Earth. Planetary scientists are intensely interested in the results, as it could provide clues about the formation of the solar system and Earth. For its part, Rosetta has discovered that comets stink. Literally.

Two moons, two planets, one asteroid and now a comet! 1
JISHOU, HUNAN — The European Space Agency's successful landing of a probe on the surface of a comet Thursday is yet another milestone in our exploration of the solar system. It's the latest in a series of missions that bring the exotic down to Earth. It's also the most impressive, considering the Rosetta probe had to loop around the inner solar system for 10 years to catch up to Comet 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko and the Philae lander had to guide itself to land on an object only 4 km across at its widest point. Comet 67P is more than 500 million kilometers from Earth, so it's very unlikely any of us will have a chance to stand (carefully) on its surface. But Philae is our stand-in, and in just a day's time sent back some impressive images. Now, you might be thinking, "So what? It's not especially interesting. Some rocks and stuff." But consider that this is a place 500 million km away that no one has ever seen before, a place that has been undisturbed for at least 4.5 billion years, and we get to see it! Planetary scientists are naturally also interested in the composition and structure of the comet, ...

What's up, Jade Rabbit?
JISHOU, HUNAN — China's lunar rover, 玉兔 Yu Tu (Jade Rabbit), woke up March 13 for its fourth lunar day of work, but its roving days are over. Last month, Jade Rabbit lost its ability to move. Now it seems the craft has stopped working altogether. Meanwhile, China's Internet censors seem to be blocking space-related websites that have been covering the mission since Yu Tu and its sister craft, the Change'E lander, arrived on the Moon in December. When I tried to visit Universe Today, Nature and The Planetary Society for updated news reports, all attempts failed. Spaceflight101.com, however, worked, so that's where this update largely comes from. While everything was working according to plan, Chinese media were all over the story. Now that Jade Rabbit is largely out of commission, perhaps Chinese media censors want to keep updates muted. The two probes' soft landing in the Mare Imbrium basin were the latest coup for China's aggressive space flight program. Both Change'E and Yu Tu were working optimally during the first month of the mission, sending back data and photos through January. Yu Tu was able to drive away from the landing site, as planned. Then as the second lunar ...

Astronomy topic: Why are days so long on the Moon? 2
JISHOU, HUNAN — China's lunar probes, Chang'E and YuTu (Jade Rabbit), are preparing for Lunar day 3 of their mission, but they've been on the Moon since Dec. 15. Are they lazy, or what? Considering a day on the Moon is almost two Earth weeks long, I'd say not. Time for a quick astronomy lesson. You know, I hope, that the Moon takes about 28 days to go around the Earth. This is where we get the English word "month" from (as in, "moonth," the way they said it long ago). Like the Earth, the Moon also rotates around its axis, but much more slowly. Earth takes about 24 hours for one complete spin, the Moon, about 28 Earth days from sunrise to sunrise. Chang'E and YuTu use solar panels for power during the long lunar day. But during the lunar night, they hunker down, relying on small radioactive "batteries" to keep critical electronics warm and functioning. Since there is only one lunar day each Earth month, the two probes have only been on the Moon for three lunar days. Each work shift is about 14 Earth days long, and they "sleep" for 14 days between shifts. It is no ...

Chinese lunar rover Jade Rabbit may not wake up
JISHOU, HUNAN — YuTu (玉兔), China's first lunar rover, is experiencing some mechanical problems as it enters its second night time period on the Moon, worrying earthbound observers. Night comes to the Moon every two weeks, and temperatures drop below -180°C (-290°F). YuTu is supposed to pull in its antenna and camera, fold up its solar panels and hunker down, keeping itself warm with its radioisotope power source. Apparently, that process didn't quite happen, and Chinese space scientists are concerned the little rabbit may not wake up again. They are reportedly scrambling for some way to remotely repair the malfunction. The lunar lander, Chang'E 3, has also gone into hibernation, but it seems to be OK. The robotic duo landed last month and quickly sent back images of the landing site in Sinus Iridum, to the delight of the Chinese and space fans worldwide. YuTu, which is named after the mythical rabbit who lives on the Moon with the goddess Chang'E, has traveled 100 meters (about 100 yards) so far. Emily Lakdawalla has a more detailed report at the Planetary Society website. Universe Today has several high-res photos, as well. This one was Chang'E's Christmas gift to Earth.

Chinese probe touches down on lunar surface, sends back photos 3
JISHOU, HUNAN — The Chang'E 3 lunar lander successfully touched down on the Moon earlier today, becoming another feather in China's space exploration cap. After a short radio blackout, it sent back photos of its approach. Chang'E, named after the Chinese moon goddess 嫦娥, carries a six-wheeled rover, Jade Rabbit (yu tu 玉兔), also a figure in Chinese mythology. The rover, which resembles the NASA rovers exploring Mars, will deploy in a few hours to begin a three-month mission. China is only the third nation to soft-land a spacecraft on the Moon, following the former Soviet Union and the USA. The lunar project follows China's successful low-earth orbit manned missions, and is a probable prelude to a manned mission to Earth's nearest neighbor in the next few decades. The probe has landed far north of landing sites by the Soviet Luna 9 and 16 probes, landing in 1966 and 1970, respectively, and the Apollo 11 landing in 1969. India and Japan have also sent missions to the Moon, but have not had soft landings. The last soft landing was by the Soviet Luna 24 probe, in 1976. More details are available at Space.com.

Jubelt und freut euch über den Herrn (manchmal auch kürzer: "Jubelt und freut euch") ist ein durch die Communauté de Taizé geschriebenes Kirchenlied.

Form
Das Lied ist ein für die Gemeinschaft von Taizé charakteristischer, vierstimmiger Kurzgesang. Das Lied wird in meditativer Weise unverändert wiederholt gesungen. Es kann von Sologesängen unterstützt werden. Zudem gibt es Notensätze für Keyboard, Gitarre, Flöte, Klarinette, Trompete, Trompete-Horn-Posaunen-Trio.

Das Lied ist nur in deutscher Sprache singbar. Das ist bei den Taizé-Liedern unüblich, da es oft viele singbare Übersetzungen gibt (s. z. B. El Senyor).

Der Text hat einen biblischen Ursprung und stammt aus :

Geschichte und Ausbreitung
Das Lied wurde 2015 publiziert. Es unterliegt dem Copyright von "Ateliers et Presses de Taizé", ist also keinem namentlich bekannten Komponisten zuzuordnen. Dies ist bei vielen neueren Taizé-Liedern der Fall.
Im aktuellen Liedheft ist es unter der Nummer 107 zu finden.

(Late) Friday/ (Early) Saturday Fantasy Baseball Links
By jrobbins84 Nov 19, 2011, 1:08am EST
Share All sharing options for: (Late) Friday/ (Early) Saturday Fantasy Baseball Links
First, apologies to Ray and everyone else who expects more regular posts. I was out of town this week but my traveling is over for the foreseeable future so my postings will become more regular.
Second, to the links.
Over at FanGraphs, Jason Catania finished his ranking of next season's AL outfield keepers, for those of you so unfortunate as to own Ben Revere or Nick Markakis. As a bonus, Jason provides links for his previous tiers of outfielders.
Also from FanGraphs, Mike Podhorzer ranks some more AL SPs. This tier is what he calls, "basically the last couple of guys I would truly be satisfied keeping on my team." You can see Mike's prior rankings of starters in the article as well. His rankings are pretty solid although I think he ranks Max Scherzer a little high and Ricky Romero a little low.
Speaking of rankings, Roto Hardball's Peter Christensen posted his two part fantasy closer rankings Thursday and Friday. I like Christensen's ranking of Papelbon, who I think is normally very underrated and will be great in Philly. I think Sergio Santos is a little low at #9, I would rank him ahead of at least Jordan Walden and Ryan Madson.
In an interesting comparison piece, Roto Hardball's Ben Duronio asks if Madison Bumgarner is the second coming of Clayton Kershaw. I don't know if Bumgarner=Kershaw but I'll say this, if I was looking for one Giants' starter going forward, it would be Bumgarner. He may not have had the best W/L record in 2011 but look at his peripherals. The guy is going to be a monster in 2012. Grab him early in your draft or trade for him now.
Moving to some batters from the senior circuit, Razzball raises the prospect of Dee Gordon being a keeper. Considering that Flash Jr. is basically a poor man's Juan Pierre (as Razzball points out), I have a hard time justifying saving one of your spots for him. Here's Razzball's rationale:
If Gordon's ground ball rate would've qualified last year, he would've been up there with Ichiro, Andrus and Maybin (and Casey Kotchman — wow, did he get lucky with balls batted into play). Gordon can hit 30 dribblers a year and get 40 steals. He's not going to give you any power (not even bulked up Juan Pierre power) or RBIs. He's only 150 pounds soaking wet. He's a string bean with legs! The rest of the five categories, he should be fine in — say 85/0/30/.270/55.
This one is a couple days old, but being an Up and In podcast enthusiast, I love the mention given by Rotoprofessor to Jose Altuve.
It's possible that he develops a little bit more power as he matures and adds strength, but we shouldn't look for any dramatic development in that regard in 2012. He did show in the lower levels that he could hit for a little pop and does call a hitter's park home. That is going to help, but he's not going to produce in the 20+ range. Figure he can hit around 10 HR, but not much more than that.
Rotoprofessor also wrote about what we can expect from the ever inconsistent Adam Lind.
There was nothing unrealistic in his 2009 success. In fact, given the line drive rate his 2011 BABIP was extremely unlucky. You would have to think that he's a lock to improve on last season's .251 average at this point. Is he going to reach the .300 range? I wouldn't bet on that, but expecting at least .270, with the potential for more, is extremely fair.
In other words, things look extremely promising for Lind heading into 2012. At the deepest position in fantasy baseball you shouldn't need to draft him as a starter (though he would be a good selection for your corner infield spot), meaning he could bring great value on draft day.
Happy reading, more links to come over the weekend.

India-UK trade deal is essential and important, ease of doing business is just as vital: Ukibc

Prospects for India's Strategic Relations in 2022: The Chinese Challenge | Latest India News
India and the UK are about to start negotiations on a trade deal. The two sides hope to finalize an interim trade deal followed by a full FTA next year. In 2020, bilateral trade between the UK and India was $ 25.3 billion, down 22% from 2019. India's imports from the UK were 6 , £ 6 billion and Indian exports to the UK at £ 11.6 billion. The UK India Business Council (UKIBC) urged both sides to quickly conclude negotiations. The UK wants better access for its businesses in the digital, data, tech, food and scotch whiskey sectors. Richard Heald, UKIBC Executive Chairman, shared his main expectations and recommendations to the UK government on the proposed trade deal.
"Closing a trade deal is absolutely essential and important, as is continuing to make progress in the ease of doing business," he said.
"Our key recommendations are driven by the consultations we have had with UK businesses. UK companies are eager to engage with India, eager to trade in key areas like defense, digital, scotch whiskey, but also other areas such as food and drink in general, as well as pharmacy, etc. ", did he declare.
At the same time, the UK and the Indian government were strongly recommended to focus on the ease of doing business alongside trade talks, he noted.
Sharing his views on the reform process in India, the issue of retrospective taxation coming to an end and the Indian government refunding amounts that had been collected under the retrospective tax, he replied: " We are extremely positive. The legislation that was introduced by the Indian government has been extremely well received. This is a long standing problem and now it is clarified. We look forward to seeing a resolution to this. "

How Much Money Does Charlie Chaplin Make? Latest Income Salary
Sir Charles Spencer Chaplin KBE (16 April 1889 - 25 December 1977) was an English comic actor, filmmaker, and composer who rose to fame in the era of silent film. Chaplin became a worldwide icon through his screen persona "the Tramp" and is considered one of the most important figures in the history of the film industry.
Chaplin's childhood in London was one of poverty and hardship. As his father was absent and his mother struggled financially, he was sent to a workhouse twice before the age of nine. When he was 14, his mother was committed to a mental asylum. Chaplin began performing at an early age, touring music halls and later working as a stage actor and comedian.
In 1919, Chaplin co-founded the distribution company United Artists, which gave him complete control over his films. His first feature-length was The Kid (1921), followed by A Woman of Paris (1923), The Gold Rush (1925), and The Circus (1928). He refused to move to sound films in the 1930s, instead producing City Lights (1931) and Modern Times (1936) without dialogue.
Chaplin wrote, directed, produced, edited, starred in, and composed the music for most of his films. He was a perfectionist, and his financial independence enabled him to spend years on the development and production of a picture. His films are characterised by slapstick combined with pathos, typified in the Tramp's struggles against adversity.
