Delighting over the first edition of Isaac Newton's Principia
Remember snow? Winter is coming! Last January, Dean Henry White, College of Science, and Ben Bromley, Chair of the Department of Physics and Astronomy, trudged through the snow to Rare Books to look at our first edition of Isaac Newton's Principia (1687) and other books from our history of science collection.
You come too!
You are invited to "Pioneers of Science: Ten Thousand Pages That Shook the World," the opening lecture for the College of Science's Frontiers of Science lecture series.
Join us for a lecture, reception, and hands-on display of some of our first editions of books that helped make the world what it is today.
From Euclid to James Watson, scientists have put their findings to parchment and paper. Euclid's Elements of Geometry was first printed in 1482, just as soon as one of the masters of movable type figured out how to do it. It has been in print ever since. Isaac Newton was reluctant to take the time, but his friend Edmond Halley insisted, and so we have Newton's Principia, printed in 1687. The Marriott Library has first editions of both of these works, and first editions of books by other pioneers of science: William Gilbert, Johannes Kepler, Galileo, Antoine Lavoisier, Carl Gauss, Charles Lyell, Charles Darwin, Michael Faraday, Louis Pasteur, Marie Curie, and more. Each of these books has its own story to tell. Together they give insight into the communication, conversation, collaboration, and controversy that made science possible: a revolution that has been going on in print for more than five hundred years.

This event is free and open to the public
A wide variety of creatures walk, fly, leap, slither, and swim through fairy tale history. Marvelous animals are deeply inscribed in current popular culture — the beast redeemed by beauty, the frog prince released from enchantment by a young princess, wolves in pursuit of little girls and little pigs. Feathers, Paws, Fins, and Claws: Fairy-Tale Beasts presents lesser-known tales featuring animals, wild and gentle, who appear in imaginative landscapes and exhibit a host of surprising talents. The offbeat, haunting stories in this collection, illustrated by Lina Kusaite, are rich and relevant, and provoke the imaginations of readers of all ages.
Editors Christine Jones, University of Utah Associate Professor, and Jennifer Schacker, University of Guelph Associate Professor, chose ten stories that represent several centuries and cultural perspectives on fairy tale animals — rats as seductive as Little Red Riding Hood's wolf, snakes who find human mates, dancing sheep and well-mannered bears. These beasts move between animal behavior and acts that seem more human than beastly. Each tale is presented as closely as possible to their original print versions, reflecting the use of historical spelling and punctuation.
Join Weller Book Works for a presentation by Jones and Schacker, and an interview by University of Utah Associate Professor Anne Jamison.
Read the tales, feast on treats from Fillings & Emulsions and Passion Flour, and have your very own copy of Feathers, Paws, Fins and Claws signed by the editors.
Rare Books celebrates this publication with its own collection of fairy tales, including:
Le XIII piaceuoli notti del S. Gio. Francesco Straparola di Carauaggion diuise in due libri…
Giovanni Francesco Straparola (ca. 1480- ca. 1557)
In Venetia: 1580
PQ4634 S7 P5 1580
The Pleasant Nights, a collection of seventy-five stories, was first published in 1550 with twenty-five stories. Giovanni Straparola added stories to the next two editions, including what are considered to be the first "fairy tales" printed in a European vernacular. The collection of stories was reprinted in at least twenty-three editions between 1550 and 1620 and translated into German, Spanish, and French within only a few years after the first printing. The book was placed on the Index of Prohibited Books in 1624, for its descriptions and seeming justification of magic.
Several of these tales, such as "Beauty and the Beast" and "Puss-in-Boots," were retold and made famous by Charles Perrault and the Grimm Brothers.
East of the Sun and West of the Moon: Old Tales from the North
Peter Christen Asbjørnsen (1812-1885)
London: Hodder & Stoughton, 1924
PT8802 N813 1924
First published in 1914 as a luxury gift book, East of the Sun and West of the Moon is a collection of fifteen fairy tales gathered by Norwegian folklorists Peter Christen Asbjørnsen and Jørgen Engebretsen Moe in the mid-nineteenth century. The two spent years traveling across Norway transcribing local lore made up of trolls, ogres, and witches from the ancient pagan mythology of Scandinavia.
London publisher Holder and Stoughton chose Danish artist Kay Nielsen (1886-1957) to illustrate their publication of the tales. The book has since become one of the most well-known and well-beloved of children's books.

"o Prince of Poetry"
Dhikrá Shaksipīr
Aḥmad Zakī Abū Shādī (1892-1955)
Egypt: al-Maṭbaʻah al-Salafīyah, 1926
PJ7808.S5 D55 1926
The Egyptian poet Aḥmad Zakī Abū Shādī was a man of many talents. Not only was he renowned as a poet and man of letters, he was also trained as a scientist and physician, and he was fascinated by beekeeping, founding professional beekeeping associations and publishing numerous works on the subject. Besides his native Egypt, he had connections to both England and the United States. He lived in England, where he earned his medical degree, from 1912-1922. In 1920, he married an Englishwoman, Annie Bamford, returning with her to Egypt 1922. Following her death in 1946 he emigrated to the United States, where he continued to be active in the fields of Arabic literature and beekeeping until his untimely death of a stroke in 1955. His private papers and many of his books are now housed in the Marriott Library Special Collections (Ahmed Zaki Abu Shadi papers, 1892-1955).
Among such books is "Dhikrá Shaksipīr," whose title translates as "Remembrance of Shakespeare." In his introduction, Abu Shadi explains that it is a collection of three poems that he composed at the invitation of the Poetry Society in London to celebrate the eventual reopening of the Shakespeare Memorial Theatre that had burned down in 1926. He says that the Society had invited poets from around the world to participate in this. Based on the Society's guidelines, the three poems are: A sonnet ; a quatrain suitable for posting on the wall of the Theatre ; and an unrestricted poem. This last one is a long ode in traditional Arabic poetic style in praise of Shakespeare.
In his introduction, Abu Shadi concludes with the statement that he is having this work privately published [in Egypt] to make it more accessible to the Arab reader. He laments that Arabic speakers who do not know English are missing out on Shakespearian literature, and he urges that they search out and read Arabic translations of Shakespeare's works, and recommends in particular those done by the Egytian poet Khalil Mutran (1872-1949).
"Diverse minds that tell of your guiding light humbly approached you, o Prince of Poetry
For the Theatre, despite its burning, due to your unique spirit remains a marvelous achievement for all eternity
Look, then, at the thousands gathered, whether in body or in spirit
They listen to great wisdome, sanctify8ing in you your genius; thus finding the good fortune of those who adore."
Contribution and translation by Cathy Rockwell, Special Collections Middle East Cataloger
Shakespeare is coming! The First Folio will arrive at the City Library in October.

"You oceans both, I close with you,
We murmur alike reproachfully rolling sands and drift,
knowing not why,
These little shreds indeed standing for you and me and all."
WHITMAN CROSSHATCH…
Walt Whitman (1819-1892)
East Hampton, NY: 2015
From the artist's statement: "both a hunt for, and a despair of, meaning. The 'Likeness' that the poet recognizes in the sea-tossed windrows of: 'Chaff, straw…' describe a purposeless world…[Whitman's] life persistence after the abyss has looked us in the eye, is heroism. By setting the text on diagonals and verticals at odds page to page, the book captures the poet's bleak mood. Whitman's own resolution takes the visual form of bright colors, and a text that meanders – in and out as the tide – but does not dissipate."
Unique artist's book by Barry McCallion. Unnumbered pages, including title-page and half-title and colophon. Text printed on paper mounted on blue Saint Armand paper, interspersed with the broken up text on cream Richard de Bas, painted in various colored India inks, collaged onto various grids which form crosshatching. Binding by Joelle Webber: hand-sewn in gold suede with onlays of yellow, red, green, blue and white forming cross hatch on front panel. Housed in red cloth with blue edges over boards, clamshell box with title on spine on paper with repeat of crosshatch motif, crosshatch motif repeated on front panel. Signed by the artist.

Q: CDI injection in Quartz JobFactory logs warning "No valid EE environment for injection of.." I'm using this approach to have CDI with Quartz in Java EE:
public class CdiJobFactory implements JobFactory {

    @Inject
    private BeanManager beanManager;

    @Override
    public Job newJob(final TriggerFiredBundle bundle, final Scheduler scheduler) throws SchedulerException {
        Class<? extends Job> jobClass = bundle.getJobDetail().getJobClass();
        Set<Bean<?>> beans = beanManager.getBeans(jobClass);
        if (beans.isEmpty()) {
            throw new SchedulerException("No job instance found for job class: " + jobClass.getName());
        }
        Bean<?> bean = beanManager.getBeans(jobClass).iterator().next();
        CreationalContext<?> ctx = beanManager.createCreationalContext(bean);
        return (Job) beanManager.getReference(bean, jobClass, ctx);
    }
}

Everything works fine, but I'm getting this error message in the server.log for all the quartz jobs and all beans I inject into them (the message is not logged for EJB's injected into the quartz jobs): [Payara 4.1] [SEVERE] No valid EE environment for injection of. The jobs execute successfully, they don't throw an exception, but I'm worried about this error message. I've tried annotating the jobs with @ApplicationScoped or @Dependent and so on, but to no avail. I'm deploying on Payara Server 4.1.2.181 and using Java EE 7.

Most timepieces are special, whether they are a financial investment or a statement of your sense of style. So when your watch battery looks like it's coming to the end of its life – or at least something seems to be indicating that's the case – it's good to get it professionally replaced.
This is usually the easiest problem to solve, as it often simply means that you need a new watch battery, especially if your current watch battery is approximately 2 years old. Be sure to take it to a jewellers that carries out repairs on their premises, as they'll be able to check it and replace it for you while you wait.
In some watches, this is an indicator of battery end of life. Take it to a jeweller who has the facility to carry out checks and if necessary install a new watch battery on the premises.
This normally indicates that the watch battery is functioning, but the mechanical part of the watch isn't working. This is usually something which can be fixed with a routine service of the watch.
4. I've had the Watch Battery for a Year, Perhaps I should just Change it anyway…?
Stop! Don't change anything! Most watch batteries last approximately 2 years, with some having an extended battery life and therefore lasting beyond that, so it's unlikely that you'll need to change it every year.
Opening your watch's casing, even when done by an experienced professional jeweller, can cause damage to a watch's water resistance, so it's best to wait until the battery either completely stops or there is an end of life indicator, such as the second hand skipping.
5. The Screen on my Digital Watch has turned Black. Is this a Battery Problem?
If the screen of your digital watch has turned black to the extent that the numbers can no longer be seen clearly, this usually indicates that the watch has had a shock, rather than it needing a new watch battery.
The usual cause of this is the digital display becoming cracked or contaminated, causing air to leak and damage to the conductive fluid. If this is the case, it may be cheaper to replace the watch than repair it.
6. My Watch's Alarm has Stopped Working since the Battery was Changed!
If you've recently had a new watch battery installed, and the alarm on your watch has since stopped working, this could be because the alarm contact spring is no longer in the correct position, the casing has not been put back correctly or there is a problem with the alarm contact place.
With any of these factors this is a very simple repair, but remember to use a jeweller that carries out repair work on the premises to minimise any further damage to your timepiece, or even its loss.
Need a new watch battery? Hainault based EK Jewellers offers watch battery replacement to customers in Ilford, Barkingside, Chigwell, Gidea Park, Loughton and Woodford.

Langkawi Cable car is just 5 minutes away from our hotel. It's located at the Oriental Village.
This seems to be a touristy man-made village and most of the tourists are here for the Cable Car.
There are a number of souvenir shops selling slippers and local souvenirs. That was also a man-made lake with chalets-like shops.
We read that the queue for the cable car during peak periods could be more than one hour. We were lucky that there was not much of a queue when we reach the place before noon on a weekday. Look at the tensabarrier and we know what type of crowd is expected during the weekends.
The cable car is known as the SkyCab. This ride is probably one of the steepest cable car ride that I've taken. It's 650m above sea levels between the base station and middle station.
At both the middle and top stations, there are viewing platforms which guests can enjoy scenic views of the Langkawi Island and the Andaman Sea. The SkyBridge, a 125m suspension bridge is located at the top station. This is definitely not for the faint-hearted Too bad, the SkyBridge is closed during our visit. It has been close for quite sometime. I wonder if there are some plans to ensure the re-open it again after safety checks are in place.
This is truly one of the cable car experience that offers the most scenic views. It's a must-go attraction in Langkawi. If I do ever visit Langkwai again, I won't hesitate to re-visit the place again. Hopefully this time the SkyBridge is operating, and I master the courage to step onto it.

Neithalath awarded $2 million to recast concrete construction
Posted by Gary Werner | Oct 15, 2020 | Faculty, Features

Construction is a traditional industry. Fundamental work is performed in much the same way it has been for generations.
Consider the creation of concrete. Crews build a formwork or frame on-site. Cement and other materials are measured and mixed. Then the concrete is poured, compacted and cured or hardened over several weeks.
This reliable process has been enacted around the world for decades, but the methods of concrete construction may be changing. Recent advances in materials science, robotics and other fields are permitting concrete to be 3D printed at building sites. Projects in Europe and Asia have already printed entire houses.
"3D printing has several advantages over conventional concrete construction," says Narayanan Neithalath, a professor of civil engineering in the Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering at Arizona State University. "For example, the method is much more efficient. We can reduce material wastage by half, and we also can create unconventional structures. But realizing the advantages requires a community to research and develop the tools, techniques and standards to make this innovation into a more broad-based reality."
With a vision to establish that community, Neithalath and four colleagues at other universities have been awarded a $2 million, five-year grant from the National Science Foundation's AccelNet program supporting the establishment of collaborative links to address challenges in science and engineering.
Neithalath and his co-principal investigators on the grant are creating a "network of networks" called 3DConcrete to share knowledge and opportunities across 13 countries.
"Every country or region has its own professional network related to concrete," Neithalath says. "But we're trying to establish broader collaboration for the research and development of 3D printed concrete and allied topics to help advance the capabilities of industry."
Shiho Kawashima, an associate professor of civil engineering at Columbia University and a member of the 3DConcrete grant project team, says more direct interaction is crucial to this effort. Many academics in this field are familiar with the work of their peers, but they are not necessarily collaborating.
"Consequently, we plan to host workshops and other events among our partner institutions to better connect people," Kawashima says. "We also hope to engage with organizations such as the American Concrete Institute to conduct meetings alongside their conventions and involve much larger groups."
In addition to faculty peer relations, 3DConcete will support student exchanges among member institutions. Participants may spend eight weeks at another university domestically or abroad to see what and how others are working in the field, including engaging with companies that are affiliated with those universities.
"This effort extends across disciplines, too," Kawashima says. "We are cement and concrete materials people, but we need to extend outreach to those in architecture, robotics and structural engineering. Through these exchanges, we hope to connect all of the means that are important in terms of bringing research advances into practice."
Raissa Ferron, an associate professor in the Department of Civil, Architectural and Environmental Engineering at the University of Texas at Austin and another member of the grant project team, says the cross-disciplinary nature of 3D concrete printing demands not only professional collaboration but also a review of educational models.
"Civil engineers typically understand the materials science and engineering of concrete and steel. We are not immersed in programming and robotics," she says. "But innovation of this order requires that we evaluate how we train our students. What information and skills will they need as technical advances change the nature of our field? This is a question we should consider in conversation with everyone."
Ferron also says broader changes represented by 3D concrete printing offer a means to bring more women and minorities into construction.
"Construction is one of the largest sectors in the economy, but certain groups of people have been barred from full participation," Ferron says. "3D concrete printing presents an opportunity to reinvent the field. For example, if this innovation means workers will not necessarily need to pick up heavy equipment, we can disassociate construction from being a masculine arena."
Gaurav Sant, a professor of civil engineering at the University of California, Los Angeles and another member of the grant project team, says there is a lot of excitement about the potential for concrete printing to catalyze change in construction. But he also says their new network of networks has a great deal of work to do regarding fundamental advances in science.
"For example, the 3D concrete printing solutions we are developing now are based on the cement we currently use to make concrete," Sant says. "But this implicitly assumes that cement is the best material we have for the purpose. Why is that? The cement used to produce concrete is responsible for up to 10% of global CO2 emissions. So, maybe we can be more expansive in our thinking and in the questions we ask. These are the kinds of tasks that this new network of networks will be able to consider."
Neithalath concurs that fundamental change to the science and practice of construction is long overdue, and that this requires new thinking on fundamental levels.
"We're not saying that every construction project needs to be 3D-printed concrete. But real innovation requires consideration of alternate mechanisms and processes. Not all conventional methods are the best of what is possible," he says. "So, this project is intended to create a shared platform that can germinate new ideas to take us toward what is possible."

M-Sport goes ahead with 2019 World Rally Championship entry
M-Sport has committed to the 2019 World Rally Championship and will run three Ford Fiesta WRCs for at least the first two rounds of the season.
Elfyn Evans and Teemu Suninen will stay on at the team for the full 14-round calendar, with 2017 WRC2 champion Pontus Tidemand alongside them for the opening rounds in Monte Carlo and Sweden.
The third car's status is undecided from Rally Mexico onwards.
M-Sport had been on the verge of ending its 22-year unbroken run of WRC participation because it was unable to find the funding for 2019.
That was despite it taking Sebastien Ogier to the last two drivers' titles and winning last year's manufacturers' crown.
Team principal Malcolm Wilson said: "It has been a rollercoaster for the last few weeks – from the elation of winning the title with Seb and Julien [Ingrassia] and their emotional farewells with staff, we have been working night and day to put together the pieces of the jigsaw that go to make a WRC team for 2019.
"It is true that we don't have 100% of the details in place as we speak, but a huge amount of development work has been going on with the car in the last months – working with our team partners in Europe and the US on engine, suspension and aerodynamics.
"Every element has been reviewed and updated and I felt we had to make a commitment to see all this hard work by all of the extended team out on the stages next year.
"We are going to rely on the support of the whole WRC community to piece together the missing pieces, but we are confident we have the tools to do a good job and so we are making the decision now to push forward and work through the challenges as they arrive."
Wilson praised Ford's efforts in keeping the team on the road and said its collaboration would go beyond the Fiesta WRC.
"The continued collaboration into our 23rd season with Ford has been pivotal in pushing us forward at this point," he explained.
"Together we are working on overhauling the entire ladder of opportunity in the next year, starting with the recently launched Fiesta R2.
"We have always said that WRC is our shop window – the development work we do at the highest level filters down to improve the vehicles at each step."
Evans, who starts his sixth season with M-Sport, will be joined by Craig Breen's former co-driver Scott Martin next season.
With Suninen already under contract to M-Sport, Tidemand is the surprise element of the team's package for the first two rounds.
Having turned down a Skoda deal and parted company with his management team, the Swede's future looked unclear until Friday morning.
Tidemand is no stranger to M-Sport having won the 2013 Junior WRC title in a Fiesta R2. Earlier that year the then-22-year-old made a stunning World Rally Car debut and ran as high as fourth before the private Fiesta RS WRC he was driving developed an engine fault.
"We have found a great solution and I'm so grateful that Malcolm offers me this opportunity," said Tidemand.
"In Monte Carlo, focus will be on the experience, to get a feel for the car and get to know the team before Rally Sweden, where I really want to be as well prepared as possible and be able to fight for real.
"M-Sport are professional all the way and I know they will hand me all the tools I need to be able to perform my best."

Solitary dining has become more common as busy families are finding it more challenging to carve out time for family meals, particularly when all adult family members work outside of the home.
Traditionally, family meals have represented much more than just communal eating—they're a time for good conversation and genuine family bonding.
Although solitary meals are occurring on a regular basis now, recent research suggests they are not contributing to you or your children's well-being. Families that make an effort to eat meals together at least three or four times a week enjoy significant benefits for their health, happiness, and relationships.
The shared interest in preparing and cooking food in traditional ways has been overshadowed by a desire for convenience foods over the past several decades, although evidence suggests those trends might be starting to reverse.
The family meal hit a low point in the 1950s, when people began to regard cooking dinner for the family as a major inconvenience. As foods became more readily available and storable in the freezer and pantry, the idea of cooking from scratch became almost passé.
Perhaps people are beginning to miss the security and the socialization that family meals impart. Research into eating trends varies substantially, which may suggest that values and attitudes are changing.
The relative infrequency of shared family meals is not associated with a lack of desire for them, as people consistently report fond memories of eating together during their childhood years.
A 2013 Harris Poll6 found that among Americans who live with at least one family member, only 58 percent report eating with others at least four times a week, but 86 percent report sitting down to a dinner together at least once a week. The poll also found that the frequency of family dinners is declining with each generation.
The 2013 documentary The Family Meal focused largely on the connection between the epidemic of childhood obesity and the role eating dinner with your family could play in curbing it.
Interestingly, a Cornell University study8 found that families (both adults and children) who eat dinner in their kitchen or dining rooms have significantly lower BMIs than families who eat elsewhere. For boys, remaining at the table until everyone is finished with eating was also associated with a lower BMI.
"Researchers believe that being cared for in stimulating and nurturing environments in early life, with regular participation in predictable family routines, reflects greater family organization and can provide a sense of security and belonging. It also may positively impact children's socio-emotional health before school entry and contribute to their future school and life success."
The benefit of the family meal comes not only from time spent eating together, but also from the time spent shopping for food, preparing your meals, cleaning up, and even tending a garden. Getting your children involved teaches them about nutrition, as well as how to work together as a family. Children will also learn environmental awareness and the importance of supporting organic and sustainable foods and farms.
Sharing meals gives you an opportunity to pass along special recipes and family traditions that you may have learned from your mother or grandmother. You can teach your children the importance of traditional food preparation methods, such as fermenting, juicing, sprouting seeds, soaking nuts, and preparing raw meals. These lessons are invaluable for building a rich family heritage, as well as giving your children the tools they need to live long, healthy lives.
What is it about family dinners that exerts such a powerful influence on our children? Or is it the family dinner at all? These are the questions professors Ann Meier and Kelly Musick sought to answer by delving deeply into the data. The professors removed variables such as income, time spent with children (meaning, activities such as helping with homework or participating in extracurricular events), how closely the kids were monitored, and overall quality of family relationships. Once all of those factors were stripped away, they examined the impact family dinners have on children's mental and behavioral health.
Meier and Musick published the results in the Journal of Marriage and Family, and their findings might surprise you.15, 16 They concluded that it's the family connections that matter, not the meals. In other words, the family dinner is less about the "dinner" and more about the "family." They identified the following critical requirement:17 "The effects of family dinners on children depend on the extent to which parents use the time to engage with their children and learn about their day-to-day lives."
So, if your family dinner hour consists of nagging about chores and unfinished homework, or everyone texting at the dinner table, or if it's a battle getting everyone TO the dinner table, it's unlikely you will see as much benefit. But if your mealtime is instead filled with sharing and genuine caring and connection, and everyone is on board, then the benefits are plentiful. This data does not diminish the value of eating together for your child's physical health and fostering his appreciation and education about food. But when it comes to the psychosocial factors and relationship dynamics, there is much more to it than simply sharing space at the dinner table.
Word a day: Since your child is expected to learn about 3,000 words a year, you can teach him a word a day at the dinner table. Feiler suggests bringing a newspaper or magazine to the table and asking everyone to find a word they don't know. In this instance, Googling is allowed.
Autobiography night: Encouraging your child to tell stories about his past successes or how he overcame failure will boost his future performance, so encourage him to tell a "who, what, when, where, why" story at dinner.
Pain points: Focus on a current "pain point," which is essentially a difficult situation for someone. For example, your daughter has to do a project with someone she doesn't like, or your teenage son hasn't found a date for prom. In the course of the discussion, family members share their own experiences and team up to dissect the dilemma and devise possible solutions, which teach children good problem-solving skills. If no one has a pain point, you might discuss a current event.
In order for family meals to occur, you must make them a priority. One of my favorite sayings is, "If you fail to plan, then you are planning to fail," and this certainly applies here. Making it possible for your family to eat together means not only shopping ahead of time so you have the food to prepare, but also selecting a time that works for everyone—whenever that may be.
Can't gather three teenagers together at one time for a family dinner due to math club, soccer, and cheerleading practice? Plan a weekly family breakfast or meet for a bedtime snack. Even one meal on weekends can have a positive impact. Just be creative and make your mealtimes as regular, stress-free and enjoyable as possible!

2001 Mars Odyssey is a robotic spacecraft orbiting the planet Mars. The project was developed by NASA, and contracted out to Lockheed Martin, with an expected cost for the entire mission of US$297 million. Its mission is to use spectrometers and a thermal imager to detect evidence of past or present water and ice, as well as study the planet's geology and radiation environment.[2] It is hoped that the data Odyssey obtains will help answer the question of whether life existed on Mars and create a risk-assessment of the radiation that future astronauts on Mars might experience. It also acts as a relay for communications between the Mars Science Laboratory, and previously the Mars Exploration Rovers and Phoenix lander, to Earth. The mission was named as a tribute to Arthur C. Clarke, evoking the name of 2001: A Space Odyssey.[3]

Odyssey was launched April 7, 2001, on a Delta II rocket from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, and reached Mars orbit on October 24, 2001, at 02:30 UTC (October 23, 19:30 PDT, 22:30 EDT).[4]
By December 15, 2010, it broke the record for longest serving spacecraft at Mars, with 3,340 days of operation.[5] It is currently in a polar orbit around Mars with a semi-major axis of about 3,800 km or 2,400 miles. It has enough propellant to function until 2025.
On May 28, 2002 (sol 210), NASA reported that Odyssey's GRS instrument had detected large amounts of hydrogen, a sign that there must be ice lying within a meter of the planet's surface, and proceeded to map the distribution of water below the shallow surface.[6] The orbiter also discovered vast deposits of bulk water ice near the surface of equatorial regions.[7]
Odyssey has also served as the primary means of communications for NASA's Mars surface explorers in the past decade, up to the Curiosity rover. By December 15, 2010, it broke the record for longest serving spacecraft at Mars, with 3,340 days of operation, claiming the title from NASA's Mars Global Surveyor.[5] It currently holds the record for the longest-surviving continually active spacecraft in orbit around a planet other than Earth, ahead of the Pioneer Venus Orbiter (served 14 years[8]) and the Mars Express (serving over 14 years), at 17 years, 8 months and 22 days.
NamingEdit
In August 2000, NASA solicited candidate names for the mission. Out of 200 names submitted, the committee chose Astrobiological Reconnaissance and Elemental Surveyor, abbreviated ARES (a tribute to Ares, the Greek god of war). Faced with criticism that this name was not very compelling, and too aggressive, the naming committee reconvened. The candidate name "2001 Mars Odyssey" had earlier been rejected because of copyright and trademark concerns. However, NASA e-mailed Arthur C. Clarke in Sri Lanka, who responded that he would be delighted to have the mission named after his books, and he had no objections. On September 20, NASA associate administrator Ed Weiler wrote to the associate administrator for public affairs recommending a name change from ARES to 2001 Mars Odyssey. Peggy Wilhide then approved the name change.[9][10]
Scientific instrumentsEdit
The three primary instruments Odyssey uses are the:
Thermal Emission Imaging System (THEMIS).[11]
Gamma Ray Spectrometer (GRS),[12] includes the High Energy Neutron Detector (HEND), provided by Russia. GRS is a collaboration between University of Arizona's Lunar and Planetary Lab., the Los Alamos National Laboratory, and Russia's Space Research Institute.
Mars Radiation Environment Experiment (MARIE).

Mars Odyssey as imaged by Mars Global Surveyor
Mars Odyssey launched from Cape Canaveral on April 7, 2001, and arrived at Mars about 200 days later on October 24. The spacecraft's main engine fired in order to decelerate, which allowed it to be captured into orbit around Mars. Odyssey then spent about three months aerobraking, using friction from the upper reaches of the Martian atmosphere to gradually slow down and reduce and circularize its orbit. By using the atmosphere of Mars to slow the spacecraft in its orbit rather than firing its engine or thrusters, Odyssey was able to save more than 200 kilograms (440 lb) of propellant. This reduction in spacecraft weight allowed the mission to be launched on a Delta II 7925 launch vehicle, rather than a larger, more expensive launcher.[13]
Aerobraking ended in January 2002, and Odyssey began its science mapping mission on February 19, 2002. Odyssey's original, nominal mission lasted until August 2004, but repeated mission extensions have kept the mission active.[14]
About 85% of images and other data from NASA's twin Mars Exploration Rovers, Spirit and Opportunity, have reached Earth via communications relay by Odyssey. The orbiter helped analyze potential landing sites for the rovers and performed the same task for NASA's Phoenix mission, which landed on Mars in May 2008. Odyssey aided NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, which reached Mars in March 2006, by monitoring atmospheric conditions during months when the newly arrived orbiter used aerobraking to alter its orbit into the desired shape.[15]
Odyssey is in a Sun-synchronous orbit, which provides consistent lighting for its photographs. On September 30, 2008 (sol 2465) the spacecraft altered its orbit to gain better sensitivity for its infrared mapping of Martian minerals. The new orbit eliminated the use of the gamma ray detector, due to the potential for overheating the instrument at the new orbit.
MARIE hardware, designed to measure radiation
The payload's MARIE radiation experiment stopped taking measurements after a large solar event bombarded the Odyssey spacecraft on October 28, 2003. Engineers believe the most likely cause is that a computer chip was damaged by a solar particle smashing into the MARIE computer board.
The orbiter's orientation is controlled by a set of three reaction wheels and a spare. When one failed in June 2012, the fourth was spun up and successfully brought into service. Since July 2012, Odyssey has been back in full, nominal operation mode following three weeks of 'safe' mode on remote maintenance.[16][17]
On February 11, 2014, mission control accelerated Odyssey's drift toward a morning-daylight orbit to "enable observation of changing ground temperatures after sunrise and after sunset in thousands of places on Mars". The orbital change occurred gradually until November 2015.[18] Those observations could yield insight about the composition of the ground and about temperature-driven processes, such as warm seasonal flows observed on some slopes, and geysers fed by spring thawing of carbon dioxide (CO2) ice near Mars' poles.[18]
On October 19, 2014, NASA reported that the Mars Odyssey Orbiter,[19] as well as the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter[20] and MAVEN,[21] were healthy after the Comet Siding Spring flyby.[22][23]
In 2010, a spokesman for NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory stated that Odyssey could continue operating until at least 2016.[24] This estimate has since been extended until 2025.[25]
Water on MarsEdit
Main article: Water on Mars
By 2008, Mars Odyssey had mapped the basic distribution of water below the shallow surface.[26] The ground truth for its measurements came on July 31, 2008, when NASA announced that the Phoenix lander confirmed the presence of water on Mars,[27] as predicted in 2002 based on data from the Odyssey orbiter. The science team is trying to determine whether the water ice ever thaws enough to be available for microscopic life, and if carbon-containing chemicals and other raw materials for life are present.
The orbiter also discovered vast deposits of bulk water ice near the surface of equatorial regions.[7] Evidence for equatorial hydration is both morphological and compositional and is seen at both the Medusae Fossae formation and the Tharsis Montes.[7]
Odyssey and CuriosityEdit
Mars Odyssey's THEMIS instrument was used to help select a landing site for the Mars Science Laboratory (MSL).[28] Several days before MSL's landing in August 2012, Odyssey's orbit was altered to ensure that it would be able to capture signals from the rover during its first few minutes on the Martian surface.[29] Odyssey also acts as a relay for UHF radio signals from the (MSL) rover Curiosity.[29] Because Odyssey is in a Sun-synchronous orbit, it consistently passes over Curiosity's location at the same two times every day, allowing for convenient scheduling of contact with Earth.

I have had a number of near-misses on Cannon. All at intersections, and all where the criminally reckless and negligent dangerous driver committed the criminal offence of Dangerous Driving.
In each case I immediately telephoned the Hamilton Police to make a criminal complaint. And in each case they failed to conduct an appropriate investigation into these serious crimes of violence.
It is my intention to escalate to a formal, written complaint to the Office of the Independent Police Review Director the next time that I am the victim of a serious crime of violence in which the violent, dangerous criminal poses a risk of death or serious injury and the Hamilton Police fail to investigate the crime of violence.
I note that in Hamilton, the current 10-year average of people being crushed to death and killed by car drivers is 19.2 people. In addition, 94 people per year in Hamilton are poisoned and killed by drivers.
As well as the 113 people killed by drivers every year, there are also several thousand people per year who are the victims of serious life-changing injuries due to being crushed or poisoned by motorists.

TruSox: Dealing with sponsorship conflicts
Image source: Global Soccer Life
TruSox are the latest sports performance brand to take the football world by storm in more ways than one.
The brand is the sock of choice for many football players, including the biggest names in the game, but are quickly becoming a headache for clubs, leagues and governing bodies.
Players who are fans of the brand include:-
Dele Ali
Erec Dier
Andreas Granqvist
TruSox are described by their manufacturer as containing "revolutionary IN//EX technology powering the original and most performance enhancing grip socks ever. IN/EX pads on the interior and exterior of TruSox ensure no movement in your footwear, as the 2.0 technology grips to your foot and footwear simultaneously."
In a nutshell, the socks have non-slip performance pads both inside and out which grip the football boots as well as the foot, to ensure there is no slide. In the words of the brand, your "foot and footwear become one" causing greater speed and agility. The technology in TruSox is said to be rendered ineffective if worn with another sock over the top, or underneath.
So what is the fuss about?
Clubs and national associations usually enter into exclusive sponsorship deals with sport brands, such as Nike and Adidas, to supply the kit that their team will wear during games - and this includes the socks. For brands, these sponsorship opportunities provide a lucrative platform to showcase their products and in addition, earn additional revenues through the sale of replica kits.
The exclusivity of the sponsorship deal is of great importance to the sponsor. Brands will pay significant sums to secure these rights in order to ensure that their competitors are prevented from obtaining similar rights with the relevant club/association. As such, sponsors need to be protected from conflict marketing (or ambush marketing) and will often have clauses drafted into their agreements that are designed to quickly deal with situations where a conflict arises. This may take the form of a warranty from the club or association that they will take whatever legal and/or practical measures necessary to prevent conflict incidents from occurring, as far as reasonably practicable.
Further, in order to ensure players wear the official sponsor's clothing, clubs and national associations will include provisions within player contracts, stating that the player is required to wear the official kit of the club immediately prior to, during, and immediately after a match, as well as refraining from wearing any other apparel (or displaying brands) that may conflict with the club or association's sponsors, during that time.
As discussed above, TruSox are said to be ineffective when worn under the official kit socks and in order to have the benefit of the TruSox technology, players have resorted to cutting their official socks above the ankle and then sewing or taping the TruSox to the official sponsor's kit sock - in a bid to avoid breach of contract scenarios. However the socks, as highlighted in the photo above, have a pattern of coloured rectangles (which has come to be known as the branding of TruSox) printed up the heel and despite the lengths that some players will go to wear TruSox, they still risk exposing the branding - as per some of the cases below.
When it does become apparent that the player has either tampered with the official kit, or is simply not wearing it, this is likely to cause a dispute between the official sponsor and the club/association. Where a conflict arises, under sponsorship agreements, clubs will require to take legal and/or practical measures in a timely manner to address the conflict that has arisen - this can take the form of removing the conflict brand from the restricted area as quickly as possible or re-negotiating terms with the official sponsor where a significant dispute arises, due to the conflict. The club is also likely to sanction players who have caused the club to fall foul of their sponsorship agreements, in order to deter players from future breaches, and protect their official sponsor's interests.
Some cases
In 2018, FIFA fined the FA £53,000 as a result of England players wearing TruSox at the World Cup, which was in direct contrast to the FIFA World Cup and Kit Regulations. FIFA had previously warned national associations about their players wearing the brand, with its distinctive markings, during both training sessions and fixtures. FIFA also fined Andreas Granqvist £50,000 for wearing TruSox after the black rectangles were visible during a fixture.
Trusox enjoys global appeal in football and the MLS has recently had to deal with conflicts arising as a result. In 2017, the MLS fined Kei Kamara $1,250 for wearing TruSox during a match. Kamara explained that he wears the socks because in combination with his football boots, they keep the moisture out as he plays, which was previously irritating his toe. Kamara also advised that he received no support or education from the player's union to avoid the conflict but also accused the MLS of turning a blind eye to some other players who too had been wearing TruSox, instead of the official kit sock.
Brand responses
The MLS recently released a statement concerning the brand: "The uniform socks are included under the Adidas partnership with MLS. Adidas has exclusive rights as they are part of the on-field uniform. Thus a player wearing TruSox is in violation of our agreement with Adidas."
Popular brands Adidas and Nike have also released statements and encouraged clubs and national associations to be act to prevent and stop infringements when they occur:
"Adidas asks that our contracted players and clubs do not wear prominent branding that infringes our rights as sponsor" (Adidas)
"We invest in innovation for every aspect of the uniforms we create, including socks. We also adhere to the guidelines issued by soccer's governing bodies on the use of branding and logos on all parts of those uniforms, including the socks." (Nike)
Preventative and Protective Measures for Players
Whilst many players who wear TruSox are not in partnership with the brand, football players, in particular, are specifically targeted by brands as football is an ideal mechanism for brand promotion due to its global widespread appeal. It is essential, therefore, that players are fully aware of their contractual obligations under their employment contracts before they commit to a business relationship with a brand who may approach them. Player representatives should be able to assist with carrying out any due diligence prior to negotiating terms for commercial opportunities, to ensure the player is protected. Further, clubs can take steps to deter athletes from potentially breaching player contracts and causing conflicts, through in-house educational seminars on the effects of conflict marketing and breach of contract. Pre-match warnings for players would also serve as a helpful reminder for any individuals thinking about flouting club rules.
It is clear that sporting events and organisations are attractive to brands who wish to be associated with players/teams. The potential audience exposure that a football match enjoys presents a lucrative opportunity for brands looking to take advantage of what's on offer. An athlete or a team who partners with a particular brand increases that brand's awareness for their consumer audience, and in turn increases sales. It is natural, therefore, that players will become targets for brands looking to tap into the market. As such, it is essential that players are educated and are aware of their endorsement/sponsorship boundaries. It should be remembered that players may also find themselves in hot water should they promise a brand maximum exposure which they are ultimately unable to deliver due to contractual restrictions imposed on them by clubs and/or national associations.
