Introduction to VOCALS Science
Scientists know that west coasts of Chile and Peru and the Southeastern Pacific Ocean are a very important part of the global climate system. However, they don't completely understand how the oceans, atmosphere, and land in this area work together to affect climate.
To learn more about how the ocean, atmosphere, and land in this area work together, a team of scientists is going to begin a big project called VOCALS. The VOCALS science team will start a series of scientific experiments using the Southeastern Pacific Ocean and the west coasts of Peru and Chile in South America as their 'laboratory'. To do scientific research in such a big place, special airplanes, research ships, buoys, and meteorological towers are being used to make observations and collect data.
If scientists can learn more about the Southeastern Pacific climate system, they can use this information to improve global climate models and predictions about global warming. The Southeastern Pacific region is known for its stratocumulous clouds, fog and drizzle, strong winds, ocean currents, nutrient rich marine habitats, cool surface ocean temperatures, dry deserts, and the Andes Mountain range.
Scientists in the VOCALS team want to explore the interactions between aerosols, clouds, and drizzle in the part of the atmosphere near the sea surface called the marine boundary layer (MBL). They play an important role in Earth's radiation budget by reflecting sunlight out to space. The scientists also want to learn about chemical and physical processes that occur between the upper ocean, the land, and the atmosphere. Research ships will be taking samples to learn more about the medium sized ocean eddies.
Learning more about how human activity impacts the Southeastern Pacific climate system will be an important part of VOCALS. The scientists will explore how aerosols from copper smelters affect cloud formation. They will also look at how changes in the climate impact the fishing industry in Chile and Peru.
It turns out that October is the best month of the year for the VOCALS experiment, because that is when there are the most stratocumulus clouds over the Southeastern Pacific region and when the winds are the strongest. It is also the time of year when the ocean and atmosphere are most closely linked.
For updates from the scientists during the VOCALS campaign, check out the Postcards from the Field. VOCALS Scientists will be posting updates during the month of October 2008.

Want to feel beautiful and confident even if you buy clothes off the rack? Anything can be enhanced by adding rhinestones. Embellish an ordinary shirt off the rack, add your own style, and it will be uniquely you!
The Luminous Green rhinestone is a pale green with underlying lavender so depending how the light hits the rhinestone it sparkles green or pale purple. The shirt I want to rhinestone is lavender with decorative embroidery. I want to add sparkle while highlighting certain areas of the shirt. The underlying lavender would blend with the color of the shirt while adding sparkle and the pale green would highlight the sections of embroidery I want to draw attention to.
This is often how I choose what colors of rhinestones to use. Choosing a rhinestone the same color as your shirt will add sparkle while choosing a contrasting color adds highlight and sparkle. I also chose a smaller size rhinestone because I wanted to add just a small amount of sparkle.
Pre-wash and dry your shirt before you begin. Lay your shirt on a flat surface. My shirt has small circles of embroidery that the rhinestone fits inside and this is where I chose to rhinestone. Place a drop of glue slightly smaller than the rhinestone on your shirt.
Using a wax tipped tool or tweezers, pick up a rhinestone and place it in the glue drop, gently pressing down. Some of the glue should seep out from the edges. This is perfectly fine as it creates a seal and helps prevent the rhinestone from peeling off. Continue gluing rhinestone and then allow to dry flat for 24 hours.
Just the perfect amount of sparkle and color to catch attention without overpowering. This shirt is great for everyday wear!

Chinese Live-Action Animation Film Beats "Fast & Furious 7", Becomes China's Biggest Grossing Movie of All Time
September 18, 2015 by BollywoodPresents Team
Here's a homegrown Chinese live-action animation movie 'Monster Hunt' that has edged out "Fast & Furious 7" as the country's biggest grossing movie of all time.
'Monster Hunt' comes across as a fresh wind compared to all the average movies that have been released recently, and could even turn out to be another 'Kung Fu Panda' in the making.
"Monster Hunt" is a movie about a baby monster whose life is under threat.
Although the movie has done extremely well in China, US observers feel that the Chinese blackout for Hollywood movies has played a key part in the success of the Chinese film.
Door to Hell (Burning Gas Crater) in Turkmenistan is a Popular Tourist Attraction
Years back (1971 to be precise), Soviet geologists started drilling a site near to Derweze, Turkmenistan, thinking that it had huge reserves of oil. However, they soon realized that they were working on top of a giant gas crater, which collapsed shortly after work began (surprisingly no one was killed). Although some dispute the origin […]

@Account Closed I believe doing thorough research on here and talking will not hurt. IMO talking and seeking will only be beneficial, however; hard inquiries might give your credit a bit, but talking doesn't help... Remember lenders and banks want your service and need your permission before pulling credit.
@Nick Britton thanks for info Nick, even a rough estimate from a lender would help in my planning.
Everyone is entitled to one free credit report and credit score for each of the 3 major credit reporting agencies. You might think to get your free copy which will not affect your credit score at all and bring that along with you when you interview possible lenders. They might be able to provide you with a pre qualification for a loan but I cannot say. You will have to wait and see what they tell you. I do not see how this could hurt.
@Gilbert Dominguez thank you for the good idea with the credit report, Gilbert. I'm going to do that.
Start checking your credit score and see if there is anything that's not right and get on a plan to fix them. Talk to a few mortgage brokers to see what you need to prepare for the paperwork. At the minimum - your bank statements (2 months), any mortgage statement with balance, HOA statement if any, 2 yrs of your complete tax return with w2,, all trading and retirement account statement (2 months), and 2 pay stubs, your SS card and maybe even your state ID. You can get some of these ready but it may be easier to get a check list from your broker... Your broker should be able to tell you the range you can afford as well, based on the number you give him/her. Good luck!
@Henry J. thanks Henry, I'll be sure to bring the info you mentioned and be sure to get a check list, to well prepared. I want start relationship with my lender with a good impression. So thanks for info !

Dutch traders first settled in Passaic in 1678 with the founding of a fur-trading post. After the river was dammed, industrial growth blossomed. Some of the most successful mills of New Jersey were built in Passaic. Many of them were German worsted mills. The town used to be full of European immigrants, which had come to fill the factories. In the 1970's came deindustrialization, which was pretty much the downfall of many American cities. Passaic would prove no better. The industrial section of the city of Passaic known as the lower Dundee, the east side neighborhood that runs along the bank of the Passaic, is filled with ruins of the cities legacy as an industrial powerhouse. I made my way down to the area to walk the streets where 15,000 woolen mill workers fought for the rights of workers in the Passaic textile Strike of 1926.

Arney's Mount Friends Meeting House
At the intersection of Mount Holly-Juliustown and Pemberton-Arney's Mount Roads in Burlington County is a historic Quaker meeting house, which dates back to 1775, and has been remarkably preserved in the same appearance it had in 1811, despite succumbing to fire twice in its history.
Source:http://triptych.brynmawr.edu/cdm/
Arneys Mount is an community located within Springfield Township in Burlington County. Its also the name of a hill located next to it.
The building is constructed of iron-stone quarried locally on Arney's Mount.
Engraved in the bricks is the name Samuel Smith, which is the person who built the structure.
The building is still without electricity or plumbing, and a wood stove serves as the only heat source.
Next to the Meeting House is the burial grounds, which are still in use and pre-dates the Meeting House by many years and includes early settlers in the area. The oldest graves are not marked.
In 1870, a wall was erected around the graveyard in sandstone. It encloses only a portion of the grave as some were buried "outside the wall" having lost favor with Meeting or were buried elsewhere on the grounds in unmarked sites before the walls were constructed.
Since 1941, meeting for worship usually has been held twice monthly.

East Millstone
Located in Somerset County of New Jersey is the small rural community of East Millstone. Located along the Delaware and Raritan Canal, the town grew and prospered during the 19th Century. It was originally called Johnsville, but that was later changed to East Millstone. The original manufacturer of famous Fleishman's Yeast was located here.
Built in 1752 by Cornelius Van Liew is the Franklin Inn, also known as the Van Liew Tavern is the oldest structure in East Millstone. It is located on Amwell Road, close to the canal. and was an important stopover for canal workers, boatmen and other travelers who utilized the canal system. It was recently operated as a used book store. Despite flooding due to Hurricanes Floyd in 1999 and Irene in 2011, the building still stands in excellent condition.

The Millstone Township First Aid Squad has been around since 1954.

Sitting beside the Delaware and Raritan Canal since 1834 is the East Millstone Bridge Tender's House which housed workers who opened the swing bridge of the canal. It was renovated and repainted in 2010.

The Millstone and New Brunswick Railroad once ran through town but the tracks have since been removed. The coming of the railroads was the reason the town changed its name.

The Wilson House
The Wilson House (pictured above) is an example of High Victorian Eclecticism.
The house was built by Nathanial Wilson, a local entrepreneur who operated a hardware store across Market Street from the canal basin.
There's five churches in this little town, a big surprise when you take into account the town is comprised of just six or seven short streets of houses.

Cedar Hill Cemetery is a small cemetery located off of Wortman Street.

Brainards, New Jersey
At the far western side of New Jersey is the small community of Brainards, which was once known as Martin's Creek. Martin's Creek takes its name from the stream that empties out just across the Delaware on the Pennsylvania side, that area is also known as Martin's Creek. In New Jersey the railway station was also called Martin's Creek. Martin's Creek was the junction point of the Pennsylvania railroad.
The name Brainards is taken from David and John Brainerd, who had their cabin across the river. The Brainerds were a missionary to the Lene lenape that occupied the area in the 1790s. The area has since changed to Brainards instead of Brainerds. Named after missionaries, one would expect to at least find one church in town, this is not the case in Brainards.
"David Brainerd was born at Haddam, Connecticut, in 1718. He was educated at Yale, licensed to preach in 1742, and was appointed missionary to the Indians within the Forks of the Delaware by the "Society for Propagating Christian Knowledge." He began his mis- sionary labors among the Indians in the Forks of the Delaware early in the summer of 1744. On the 13th of May, 1744, he came to Sakhauwotung (Martin's Creek) within the forks, and was respectfully re- ceived by the Indian king, who permitted him to preach most of the summer at his house."
Warren County, at one time, had large cement mills in active operation which helped in growing the towns up around them. The mills of the Alpha Cement Company helped to make the small town of Brainards grow by building company housing to attract the many Slavic immigrants arriving to become workers. The workers would then walk to work on the railroad bridge which crossed the Delaware River to Martin's Creek. Before this time the area had been mostly vacant and nothing which resembled a town or village.
Broad Street is Brainard's main thoroughfare. It is lined with former company housing. Alpha would rent the homes to the workers for 9 dollars a month. For single men there were the boarding houses which were run by widows of factory workers who had died. By the time the 1960s rolled around, the cement companies decided operating elsewhere would be more cost effective. They sold the company housing to those who wished to stay for $900 a home or $1200 for a home with plumbing. Company housing is usually recognized when viewing the landscape as a whole in the little variation from house to house and simple architectural styling. I noticed this when i first visited Brainards, before i knew it had been a company town. Some of the Alpha company's houses are on property formerly a part of the lot of George Depue who lived in a stone house one-eighth of a mile south of the station from 1850 until his death in 1897.
The Bangor & Portland Railway delivered slate from quarries in northern Northampton County, Pennsylvania, to the Delaware, Lackawanna & Western Railroad junction at Portland. In 1885, a branch line was built to connect with the Pennsylvania Railroad at Brainards, New Jersey which at that time was called Martin's creek as well. The name was eventually changed to distinguish it from the Martin's Creek located across the water.
The town also would have its dark times....
On April 29, 1911, disaster struck the the area of Martins Creek when a Utica teacher's excursion train carrying 169 Up-State school teachers and friends were on the way to Washington, New Jersey. The train was hurled down a forty-foot embankment at Martin's Creek, where it crashed and caught fire killing 12 people and injuring 101 others
On March 26, 1942 an explosion at the Lehigh Portland Cement Co. in Easton took 31 lives, many had been residents of Brainards. The cement company gave deceased workers' widows only $11 per month for about six years as compensation for the loss of their husbands.
In 1945, it was the scene of a shooting after a fugitive escaped custody after being apprehended for the brutal slaying of his wife. Ernest Rittenhouse, 30, war plant worker had been a resident of the area and escaped back to his hometown to hideout after he murdered his wife with an ax and disappeared. The officers caught up to him and he somehow managed to wrestle the gun from the officers and shoot them both dead and jumped into the Martin's Creek to escape.
Now that the industry of the area is gone the town of Brainards is awaiting its next step, which is the development of its vacant parcels that line the Delaware River to spark life back into the once prosperous area.

Buttzville
Along the Pequest River and U.S. Route 46 in White Township within Warren County, New Jersey is Buttzville which is frequently listed on lists of odd and unusual place names.
Buttzville was not known as Buttzville until 1839, when Micheal Robert Buttz purchased the land from a miller who had used the property for a gristmill in its past. He soon opened a hotel and his descendants lived and worked in the town. Michael Robert Buttz named this little settlement Buttzville and that is still the name today.
Before Michael Buttz had come to Buttzville, he had a teaching gig near his former residence along the Delaware River before buying property in New Market and opening a saw mill, hotel and apple and rye distillery. He was also a justice of the peace and in the army. He sold it all in 1831 to George and John Troxall. He then took his chances in Politics and was elected on the Democratic ticket but finally gave up due to financial reasons. He next took his chances in Easton but again grew restless and made his final move to the Pequest River where he opened a grist mill, plaster mill and a general store.
By 1854, he sold the mill property to Elisha Kirkhuff. It, then, later passed hands to Linaberry and Anderson and then to Thomas Craig.
Buttzville United Methodist Church
Buttzville United Methodist Church in Belvidere just commemorated 175 Years last year
He would die there at the age of 72 and was buried in the M.E. cemetery.
Thomas A. Edison once had a manufacturing plant and quarry in the area. Edison would often stop at Craig's Store in Buttzville. He and Tom Craig(also owned a store in addition the mill) became good friends. The original homes which were built in the last century are located off a street called Mill Street.
Location of Mill Street
No members of the Buttz family live here today, although the name remains and many people still pass through and remark on the odd naming of the town.
Wild West City
If we go back to the 1950s, western and cowboy culture had completely taken over. By 1959, 26 cowboy themed shows aired during prime-time and eight of the top ten shows were westerns. Howdy Doody was every child's hero as the merchandise flew off the shelves. Americans were hooked.
In Post war America, tourist culture blossomed and Wild West City stands as testimony to that era. It was once rated by the American Cowboy Magazine as one of the top five "must see" western theme parks in the United States. It is oftened compared to Buffalo Bills' Wild West Show.
It was around this time that (1956 to be exact) that the American Foundation for the Preservation of the Old West purchased a tract of land in Byram Township, New Jersey. An architect was flown out to Kansas to research actual towns and shortly thereafter construction began on a replica western town.
Operated by Justus Neinaber, the site opened in the spring of 1957 and lasted until 1962. The town was leased unsuccessfully for a season and then closed until 1963. The Stabile, Rospond and Maitalasso families purchased the theme park in the fall of 1963 planning a short term real estate investment. Michael and Mary Stabile of Nutley, New Jersey were the operators of the park and eventually bought out their partners in 1966.
The Stabile's continued to run the site . Micheal Stabile passed in 1993 and his wife, Mary in 2002. Members of the family still operate the park.
Stepping into the park, children run around with plastic pistols and cowboy hats.
There is a slight creepiness factor looking over the display of a western town with antique dolls.
The tiny shops each house artifacts from the past giving also a educational experience as well as a morbid one.
Of course, I wouldn't be telling this story without a little darkness involved.
In 2006, controversy struck the park when a actor was accidentally shot in the head with a real bullet. During the "Sundance Kid " skit after the smoke cleared and the applause died down, the actor was still lying on the ground, blood trickling down his face. The happy city of a era long gone turned to scene out of a horror movie as a afternoon of fun turned to memories not to be forgotten.
Coworkers thought he had fallen, and rushed him to the hospital. After he underwent CT scanning that doctors realized he had been shot with a real bullet. Another actor, who fired at Mr. Harris, had inadvertently loaded his gun with .22 caliber bullets instead of blanks. He had been late to work and grabbed a coworkers bullets not realizing he now had a loaded weapon for the show. The actor remains partially paralyzed and has won a 2 million dollar lawsuit against the business.
All their performers must now receive safety training before working at the park.

William Peter Brewing Company
Located on Hauxhurst Avenue, on a tall cliff overlooking the Lincoln Tunnel Approach and Helix is a German-style castle that dominates the landscape. Completed in 1904 at the cost of $75,000, the mansion has 17 rooms, ornate woodwork, marble, stained glass, and several fireplaces. It was once the home of Wilhelm Joseph Peter, a German immigrant turned successful beer baron.
Now long deceased, Peter was an avid painter, once having an artist studio located within the home. He continued this hobby up until a few weeks before his death.
When the 1930s rolled around, the homes along Boulevard East were acquired by the Port Authority to make way for the construction of the Midtown-Hudson Tunnel. Somehow, the Peter Mansion remained and was given over to the town. It was opened in 1942 as the Weehawken Public Library.
Wilhelm Joseph Peter, also known as William Peter, was born March 16, 1832 in Archen, Germany during the German revolutions of 1848–49. The revolutions were a series of protests and rebellions in the states of the German Confederation, which included the Austrian Empire. He had no choice but to escape for fear of persecution, as he was the son of one of the leaders in the revolution. Starting in boyhood, he had always hoped to be a brewer and this made his parents more than unhappy, but he continued on with his dreams. Eight years after immigrating to the United states, he rented a place for $44 a year, with the option to buy and started a little brewery in West New York, with a kettle capacity of three barrels a day. His business thrived for many years. When his time was up he decided against buying there, and settled on the cheaper properties in Union Hill and was closer to the the summer shows and other entertainment that was taken in by the people of New York.
http://www.findagrave.com/
Not too far from the library on Peters Street is what remains of his business, the The William Peter Brewing Corporation. It is now home to a storage facility. Peters Street was once called Weehawken Street.
Across from the storage facility was a structure I had the pleasure of photographing a few times the past two years.
Sadly, on a recent return trip the structure pictured above had been demolished and was no longer there.
The brewery operation was shut down by Prohibition in 1920. In 1933, the brewery was issued a U-Permit No. NJ-U-329 allowing the resumption of brewing operations.

Early Breweries of New Jersey By Harry B. Weiss and Grace M. Weiss
Drinking In America: A History By Mark Edward Lender, James Kirby Martin
Thomas Edison National Historical Park
Thomas Edison was born in Ohio and grew up in Michigan. From a newspaper boy to an American inventor and business man, somewhere along the way he found himself in West Orange, New Jersey. It was here that Edison earned a majority of his 1,093 U.S. patents that he accumulated in his lifetime.
The laboratory complex he once worked out of on Honeysuckle Ave in West Orange, New Jersey is maintained by the National Park Service as the Thomas Edison National Historical Park aka Menlo Park. For a few bucks you get access to an a extensive collection of antiques from Edison's time and the archives which contain approximately five million documents. You also get to see the Glenmont Estate, which was the estate of Thomas and Mina Edison, located down the block in Llewellyn Park.
Out of the West Orange laboratories came numerous inventions including the motion picture camera, sound recordings, silent and sound movies and the nickel-iron alkaline electric storage battery. The first major invention to emerge from Menlo Park was the phonograph in 1877.
Many motion pictures were made at the lab, including the first one ever copyrighted. He even built the first motion picture studio, commonly referred to as the "Black Maria," in 1893. The studio could be rotated on tracks and the roof opened so that the best natural light could be obtained for a given scene. Demolished in 1903 after Edison moved motion picture production to New York, a full-size replica of the "Black Maria" was built at the laboratory site in 1954 which can be viewed today.
"Black Maria"
Menlo Park is also known as the birth of the modern industrial research organization and many companies followed his lead. The lab acted as a model for later industrial research labs such as Bell Laboratories.
The lab is definitely worth a visit and is one of my all time favorite museums I have been too.
Halecky-IMTT Park
Located on the east side of Avenue F between 24th and 28th Streets is a 3.56 acre stip of green, called the Halecky-IMTT Park, which separates the industrial and residential areas. The park was named after former City Council Member John Halecky and IMTT, an industry located near the park.
Right now the park is in the middle of a scandal where thousands of gallons of oil was missing from an active 16-inch pipeline. After the pipeline was replaced not too long ago, the pipeline was damaged when a contractor removed steel-sheet piling following the replacement which punctured the pipe causing a leak. Since the leak was reported, IMTT has removed contaminated soil from the park, replaced it with clean topsoil, and reseeded the ground.
A trip back in time shows the land was once property of Standard Oil. At the peak of plant operations in 1936, Standard Oil Company owned and operated approximately 650 acres on Constable Hook. Standard Oil combined with Tide Water Oil Company once employed 3000 workers in Bayonne.
Halecky-IMTT Park has reopened following the repair and the area is to be monitored by IMTT for one year.

In Reopening, The Smithsonian Looks To Balance Safety And Disability Access
MICHEL MARTIN, HOST:
Today marks 30 years since President George H.W. Bush signed the Americans With Disabilities Act into law. Now, no one conversation or story can do justice to that landmark legislation, so on this anniversary, we decided to focus on one small slice of the story - preserving access to cultural spaces for people living with disabilities.
It's a particular challenge during the current coronavirus pandemic, so for more on this, we call Beth Ziebarth. She is the director of Access Smithsonian, an arm of the Smithsonian Institution that ensures that the institution's many museum spaces and exhibits are designed with inclusivity and accessibility in mind. And Beth Ziebarth is with us now from Washington, D.C.
Thank you so much for joining us. Welcome.
BETH ZIEBARTH: Thank you. It's my pleasure to be here.
MARTIN: Before we get into the specifics of the Smithsonian, I just wanted to ask you about the significance of the ADA. And I ask because you incurred a spinal cord injury at the age of 16, and you've been using a wheelchair for what - more than 40 years now? Would that be right?
ZIEBARTH: Correct. Yes, I have.
MARTIN: So do you remember a before and after? Can you talk a little bit about the importance of the law in opening up spaces and possibilities for somebody like you?
ZIEBARTH: Yeah. I certainly do remember the before and after of the ADA and the enforcement of the rehabilitation act. So for me, at 16, I was in high school, and I went on to college. College was definitely a challenge in that I chose a university that didn't have a lot of accessibility, physical accessibility, just because I was young, and that (laughter) didn't seem to be as much of a barrier to me at that time.
But then when I think about hitting my 30s, when I really discovered my disability identity, and right around the time of the passage of the ADA, that I could really reflect on what it was like before and what it started to be like after, both in, you know, my personal life and in my professional life. So I think that it was definitely groundbreaking. And I see it as something that is so important for us to understand the history of disability rights as part of the civil rights movement.
MARTIN: Can you give me example, though, like, of a before and after? I was thinking about maybe would you have figured out, like, maybe having to pick your classes depending on what building they were in or something like that? Can you just think of an example?
ZIEBARTH: That's actually a really good example. When I went to university, I remember a particular instance where I had to take a course that - the instructor taught it on the fourth floor of the business administration building, and there was no elevator in the building. And when I asked the instructor whether he would be willing to move the class to a first-floor classroom space, he said no because the other space was right next to his office, and he preferred that. I don't think that would happen anymore (laughter).
MARTIN: Wow. So let's shift to the pandemic now. What have you been thinking about during this whole period here? I mean, as you know, buildings have closed, so most people haven't had access to the institutions as we are accustomed to experiencing them. What have you been thinking about and worrying about during this period?
ZIEBARTH: Yeah. The pandemic has really disrupted people being able to visit museums. But it also has disrupted accessibility accommodations as we reopen. We have to have time ticketing. We have to have social distancing. We need to have mask or face covering policies. We need to have - think about taking away some of the touch experiences or changing the way that people might touch and reinforcing that people need to wash their hands and use the hand sanitizer. So those are some of the things that are part of the health and safety concerns.
But as we take away some of those touch experiences, we need to think about how somebody who relies on tactile experience for understanding content is impacted. But when we get to things like 3D models of an object that's on display and having to take that offline right now because of the health and safety concerns, I don't want to see us go down the road to the future where we have taken away those experiences. That's so important for a wide range of people - not only people with disabilities but also people who are tactile learners.
MARTIN: I'm sure you've been thinking about this, that - you know, we've certainly been talking about this - that people living with disabilities are also some of the people who are most vulnerable in this pandemic from a health perspective, depending on what the disability is. But also, some of the accommodations that people have had to make are burdensome for some people more than others, like covering people's faces or - you know, even recognizing that some people are using that as a scam, and we get that. But, I mean, for people...
ZIEBARTH: Right.
MARTIN: ...Who need to see people's faces in order to really understand and navigate the world, how are you thinking about this?
ZIEBARTH: What I'm really focused on is the communication. And that can be anything from having the clear face mask for staff so that when they are communicating with a visitor that the visitor can see their mouth, especially if they speech-read, technology that we can use to facilitate communication like apps that will help with somebody who has hearing loss or is hard of hearing.
MARTIN: But before we let you go, has there been any silver lining to this current crisis? Because - and the reason I ask is that a number of arts institutions have experimented with things - technologies, techniques, ways of storytelling and doing their work - that they just hadn't done before. And I just wonder if there's any way this has opened anything up, for example, that might be helpful to people with disabilities and the public at large that you just hadn't had time to do before?
ZIEBARTH: Yeah, that's a really good question. So the pandemic has presented challenges but also opportunities. You know, as museums and other institutions grapple with how to best reach their audiences while their buildings remain closed, virtual programs have been the way that many organizations have been able to stay in contact with their audiences. And virtual programs can provide fewer barriers to people with disabilities.
So, for example, we moved our See Me at the Smithsonian program for people with dementia and their care partners online. And we saw a spike in participation. Before the pandemic, visitors who had dementia and who participated in our program came to in-gallery experiences. Now they're doing the experiences online. And it's eliminated some of the worries, like transportation to the museum, standing in line to get in.
That's an opportunity. That's a plus. And we will continue to have the online program in addition to the in-gallery experiences after we reopen.
MARTIN: That's Beth Ziebarth. She's the director of Access Smithsonian. That's an arm of the Smithsonian Institution.
Beth, thanks so much for talking to us. I hope we'll talk again.
ZIEBARTH: Thank you.

2012 NFL Pro Bowl Rosters: Arian Foster, Johnathan Joseph Selected
The Texans two selections trail those of the other AFC playoff teams.
By Jonathan Tjarks Dec 29, 2011, 2:15pm CST
Share All sharing options for: 2012 NFL Pro Bowl Rosters: Arian Foster, Johnathan Joseph Selected
With most of the Houston Texans' marquee players struggling with injuries throughout the 2011 season, the 10-5 Texans have only two representatives on the AFC's 2012 Pro Bowl team: RB Arian Foster and CB Johnathan Joseph.
Despite starting third-string rookie T.J. Yates in the last four games, Houston's offense has survived thanks to a dominant ground game led by Foster, who has established himself as one of the NFL's elite running backs with his second consecutive Pro Bowl appearance.
In 13 games, the 6'1 230 RB from Tennessee has rushed for 1,224 yards and 10 TD's on 4.4 yards per carry, all while going up against defenses stacking the box in the wake of injuries to QB Matt Schaub and WR Andre Johnson.
Joseph, meanwhile, has been one of the biggest free agent pick-ups of the shortened 2011 off-season, boosting a Texans defense that had long struggled in the secondary. Houston signed the 5'11 190 CB for 5-years and nearly $50 million after he had spent the first five years of his NFL career in Cincinnati.
In 15 games, the South Carolina product racked up 44 tackles, 15 pass deflections and 4 interceptions while anchoring a back-seven that had to make up for the loss of All-Pro DE Mario Williams to a season-ending injury early in the season.
Reflecting their status as playoff underdogs, the Texans trail the New England Patriots, who had 8 selections, as well as the Baltimore Ravens, with 7, and the Pittsburgh Steelers, with 5.

John M. Becker August 07, 2012
Equally Wed, an online LGBTQ wedding magazine, has declared today — August 7 — National Marriage Equality Day, and is encouraging equality-minded people to make a special effort to patronize equality-minded businesses like Ben & Jerry's, Starbucks, Apple, Kenneth Cole, J.C. Penney, etc.
The publication is billing this as a "direct response" to last week's ugly "Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day," when hordes of LGBT equality opponents flocked to Chick-fil-A restaurants around the country to show support for its anti-gay donations and comments made by the company's CEO endorsing marriage discrimination.
Let me be clear: I think this is a fine idea and I encourage friends, family, and readers to participate. Heck, I'll be participating myself by grabbing some Starbucks on my way to tonight's Pride Vermont meeting. But if we confine our support for pro-LGBT businesses to just one day, we're not doing enough. Every day should be an "equality day."
As I wrote last year, it's incredibly important for the LGBT community and our allies to vote with our feet and our dollars by patronizing LGBT-owned and -allied businesses whenever possible, wherever possible, as often as possible. Money spent on goods and services from anti-gay businesses like Chick-fil-A is money that's used to reward and perpetuate the oppression of our community (and who in their right mind would want to do that?).
Thankfully, supporting pro-equality businesses has never been easier, as an ever-increasing number of companies large and small are waking up, smelling the coffee, and realizing that supporting LGBT civil rights is not only the right thing to do, but a good business decision. The Human Rights Campaign has a handy buyer's guide that lists dozens of pro-LGBT businesses all across the country. If you're unsure where to start in your hometown or want to focus on locally-owned business supporters, do what Michael and I do whenever we move to a new place: contact your local LGBT community center or advocacy organization, as many of them maintain lists of local businesses worthy of our LGBT dollars. Thanks to the incredibly interconnected world in which we live, a little online digging can also uncover a lot of information about companies and business owners who donate to pro- or anti-equality causes. And if all else fails, you still have one final option: calling them up and asking them yourself if they support or oppose LGBT equality. If they're supportive, make a point of letting them know that you will patronize their business because of that support; if they're still harboring Stone-Age views on sexuality and gender, firmly inform them that you'll be taking your money elsewhere.
A little effort goes a long way and yields wonderful results. In our case, all of our medical professionals are either LGBT or allies, as are our accountant, lawyer, and the vast majority of companies we transact business with. Trust me, it feels good to know that you're spending money on people and businesses who support your equal rights and human dignity. So by all means, celebrate National Marriage Equality Day today by sipping on Starbucks and noshing on Ben & Jerry's. But don't stop there — join me in making every day an equality day!

When Theresa May announced her snap election in April, it threw a major spanner in the previous month's Budget. There was no time to pass the 776 pages of Finance Bill before parliament shut down. The result was that about 80% of the Bill was removed and its uncontroversial residue passed through parliament in a few days. At the time it was anticipated that following the election the Chancellor – not necessarily Mr Hammond – would reveal a Summer Budget, just as his predecessor did in 2015. The second Budget of the year was expected to reinstate the lost measures and add a few more that were best left until after the polls closed.
It did not quite work out that way, as we all know. Mr Hammond has remained in place at 11 Downing Street and in June told Andrew Marr "… there's not going to be a sort of summer Budget or anything like that, there will be a regular Budget in November as we had always planned…" Shortly after that appearance, the background notes to the Queen's Speech revealed that there would indeed be a Summer Finance Bill, even if there was no Budget.
The new Bill will incorporate "a range of tax measures including those to tackle avoidance", but precisely what those measures will be or when the Bill will emerge is unclear. The Treasury has a record of stretching seasonal limits when it comes to publications and will not be helped by the parliamentary timetable, which arrives at the summer recess on 20 July. Parliament resumes on 5 September, but only for nine days before the conference recess, which runs until 8 October.
One planned-and-abandoned/deferred measure which could be relevant to you is the reduction in the money purchase annual allowance. This generally operates when pension contributions are being made at the same time as benefits are (or have been) being drawn.

In June, the US central bank, the Federal Reserve, increased short term interest rates for the second time this year and the fourth time since December 2015. The 0.25% increase to 1.00% − 1.25% had been well signalled by Fed officials, so there was no surprise. As seems to be the case these days, the focus was more on whether the next rate rise was still three months away or might be deferred.
The day after the US interest rate decision it was the turn for the UK central bank, the Bank of England, to make its annoucement. This was universally expected to be another "no change", leaving base rate at the 0.25% fixed amidst post-referendum concerns last August. The rate did remain unmoved, but there was nevertheless a major surprise: three out of the eight people charged with setting the rate voted for an increase. According to Reuters, this was the nearest the Bank has come to raising interest rates since 2007.
Does that mean the Bank's next meeting might see the first rise in interest rates in a decade? The answer is probably no. One of the trio of rate risers will have left the Monetary Policy Committee by the time of the next meeting. Her replacement is thought to be less anxious to raise rates. A new deputy governor is also due to be appointed, bringing the Committee up to its normal quota of nine. The balance of the Committee is thus set to change.
Despite some apparent differences between the Bank's governor, Mark Carney, and its chief economist, Andy Haldane, most experts still do not see the first base rate increase happening until 2018. That is good news if you have a variable rate mortgage, but bad news if you have a deposit account or cash ISA.
The May inflation data came as a surprise to many pundits. The expectation had been for inflation, as measured by the Consumer Prices Index (CPI), to remain at April's level of 2.7%. Instead, National Statistics revealed that annual inflation had reached 2.9% (3.7% on the Retail Prices Index yardstick).
The last time inflation was at this level was June 2013, as the graph shows. Since then it has taken a rollercoaster ride to around zero for much of 2015, only to surge upwards in the past year: in May 2016 CPI inflation was just 0.3%.
At 2.9%, inflation is already above where the Bank of England had been expecting it to peak later this year. If the rate adds another 0.2% next month, then Mark Carney, the Bank's Governor, will have to write a letter to the Chancellor explaining why the inflation target has been missed by more than 1%. It's already clear what he would say from statements issued recently by the Bank: blame the fall in sterling since the Brexit vote.
The Bank sees little respite in the short term. In the press release issued in June alongside its interest rate decision, the Bank said inflation "is likely to remain above the target for an extended period as sterling's depreciation continues to feed through into the prices of consumer goods and services".
With many deposit accounts paying interest rates of under 1% (before tax), the news on inflation is a wake-up call if you're holding more cash than you need to. A year ago money on deposit was just about keeping pace with price increases, whereas now it's losing buying power at the rate of about 2% a year.

No, it's not a mistake, but it is not the FTSE 100 either.
The most frequently quoted index of UK share prices is the FTSE 100 index, or the "Footsie" as it is frequently described. The FTSE 100 index was launched at the end of 1983, with the aim of giving a yardstick to the value of the largest 100 companies listed on the London Stock Exchange. It started life with an initial value of 1,000 and is now about 7,500, equivalent to an average annual return of about 6.2% excluding dividends.
Two years after the FTSE 100 came into being, the FTSE 250 appeared. This captured the performance of the 250 UK listed companied that ranked below the Footsie's larger constituents. The FTSE 250 was launched with an initial value of 1,412.6, an odd-looking number which becomes more understandable when you know that was the reading on the FTSE at the FTSE 250's birth.
In May, the FTSE 250 hit one of those round numbers which cause a brief flurry of comment: 20,000. That is equivalent to an average annual return of 8.8%, again excluding dividends.
The difference in performance between the two can largely be explained by the difference in the industry concentrations in the two indices, as illustrated in the chart below.
The industry concentration is partly driven by the nature of the companies. The FTSE 100 contains many large multinational companies, including mining groups (e.g. Rio Tinto), with little more than a share listing in the UK. On the other hand, the FTSE 250 is more domestically oriented.
The gap between the two indices' performance is a reminder that the numbers that make the press headlines do not always tell the full story and that relying on a fund tracking the Footsie may mean missing out on some of the better performing UK companies. A review of your portfolio can be a useful exercise. Give us a call to arrange a review.
The QIR was published in May, a few days before the Office for National Statistics revealed that in April, CPI inflation was running at 2.7%, 0.7% above the Bank's target. The Bank shouldn't have been surprised to see the higher inflation number. It's QIR projected a short-term increase, with inflation reaching 2.8% in the final quarter of this year. Thereafter the Bank's central projection is in for a gentle decline in the pace of price increases that will still leave inflation above target in the early part of 2020.
Why isn't the Bank raising interest rates?
In his opening remarks when presenting the QIR, Mark Carney, the Bank's Governor, said "The projected inflation overshoot entirely reflects the effects on import prices of the fall in sterling since late November 2015 – a depreciation caused by market expectations of a material adjustment to the UK's medium term prospects as it leaves the EU." This explains why the Bank is not raising interest rates, which would be its usual response to above-target inflation.
There is a highlighted page of the QIR devoted solely to explaining why global interest rates are so low and likely to continue to be. For the UK, the Bank notes that the money markets are currently projecting that short-term real (inflation-adjusted) rates will still be around 0.25% in ten years' time, compared with an average of 2.75% between 1993 and 2007. Demographics and "heightened risk aversion" are to blame in the Bank's view.
The current combination of sub-1% short term rates and 2%+ inflation is unwelcome news if you hold much cash on deposit: the longer your money is in the bank, the less it will buy. That may be a price worth paying if you are convinced that investment markets worldwide are headed for a fall in the near term. If you are not, or are just feeling uncertain where your money should be placed, do talk to us about the many options available.

Q: Anyway to unset multiple object fields using a map? [Java] I have an object with some fields and they have setters. I want to iterate through a map from a request and based on the key name with value null - unset the field by doing something like
field1.set[key](null)

instead of having the request be a list and doing
list.forEach() {
  if (list.contains(key)) {
    object.setKeyName(null);
  }
}

Is this possible? It would be more dynamic vs having to add a new if statement each time a new field is added to the model. Disregard sanitization of the input.

A: You can do that using Reflection.
for (String fieldName : list) {
    Class parameterType; //get the type
    object.getClass().getDeclaredMethod("set" + fieldName, parameterType).invoke(object, null);

YFS was present last Friday to take in the first ever Box Soccer Training tournament held in conjunction with Heart of Midlothian's Academy at the state of the art Oriam National Performance Centre facilities in Edinburgh.
Event spokesperson (and Box Soccer East Dunbartonshire head coach) Antony McMinn told YFS: "The tournament was split into mixed age groups of 2012-2010 and 2009-2006 with around 200 players from Angus, Dundee, Fife, Stirling, North Lanarkshire, East Dunbartonshire, Edinburgh and West Lothian all taking part. The idea was to replicate the experience of playing street football with children of various ages. It created different challenges for the players who were very much encouraged to solve problems and coach themselves, something that Box Soccer are massive on, without the coaches' input."
After the football had concluded, there was a special treat for the young players, with two Hearts legends in attendance for the presentation. John Colquhoun, now owner of Box Soccer, told a stand packed with players and parents: "Thanks to everyone for turning out at today's event. It's the first time we've ran this initiative and it's great to see so many young players from across Scotland taking part. When I was a kid I'd often play against players older than me and it was key to my development. It was fantastic watching some of the younger players working so hard to push older opposition all the way. But most importantly you're all here playing and I can see smiles all around."
Colquhoun then introduced current Heart of Midlothian FC manager Craig Levein, who echoed his comments before providing the winning teams with their prizes. He said: "It's brilliant to see the facility cime live with so many young players. Oriam was built for days like today. The standard and attitudes were fantastic and the future looks bright."
McMinn concluded: "Every child who attended the day has either taken part in a Box Soccer Holiday Camp or weekly class. With new classes being added for the new school year Box is growing not just in numbers but quality and Head of Coaching Darren Murray is driving coaching standards through regular coach education. As well as club partnerships with the likes of Hearts of Midlothian, Airdrie, Stenhousemuir and Arbroath the company has a number of sessions throughout Scotland run by highly trained franchisees."

A Rockland High School student has been honored as an Academic All-American in swimming.
John Ellard, III a senior captain on the swim team, is the first student in school history to be honored as an Academic All-American by the National Interscholastic Swimming Coaches Association of America.
"I'm not in it for the recognition, but it's just another thing that adds fuel to the fire to keep pushing me to reach new heights," said Ellard.
Ellard has a 4.99 GPA on a 5-point scale. In between academics, Ellard is part of the National Honors Society, had a lead role in the fall play, and is part of the Student Government.
Nationwide, about 2% of students are recognized as All-Americans. Ellard was nominated by Margolis.
Ellard said it was tough balancing everything, but said he had some great memories with the swim team this season.
Ellard also plays on the tennis team. He's been on the swim team for two seasons.
Ellard wants to attend a four-year college, and plans to continue swimming and play tennis at a club level.

Q: Should I convert variables that don't have units into a z-score In the regression analysis, some variables don't have units. How to interpret the coefficients of such variables? Should I convert them into z z-score before run regress? Should converting be done after taking log of variables? I'm quite new to regression and hope someone can help me.

A: In a regression model the expectation of a response, $\mathbb{E}[Y]$, is equated to a linear combination of variable values $x_i$ with coefficients $\beta_i$:
$$\mathbb{E}[Y] = \cdots + \beta_i x_i + \cdots$$
If the units in which $Y$ is expressed are, for example, "meters", then its expectation will have the same units.  If the units in which $x_i$ is expressed are, for example, "hours", then this relationship can be more fully written as
$$\mathbb{E}[Y]\,\left(\text{meters}\right) =  \cdots + \beta_i x_i\,\left(\text{hours}\right) + \cdots$$
For this to make sense, it is necessary that the units of $\beta_i$ be meters per hour:
$$\mathbb{E}[Y]\,\left(\text{meters}\right) =  \cdots + \beta_i \left(\frac{\text{meters}}{\text{hour}}\right)x_i\,\left(\text{hours}\right) + \cdots$$
The roles of "meters" and "hours" may be replaced by any units whatsoever, demonstrating a general conclusion:

The units of the coefficients in a linear regression model are the units of the response per (that is, divided by) the units of the corresponding regressors.

This holds even for variables that are unitless.  For instance, if $x_i$ is a pure number (such as a fraction or a logarithm), then $\beta_i$ must have the same units as $Y$.  If both $x_i$ and $Y$ are logarithms, then $\beta_i$ is unitless.


By the time Jaroslav Malík graduated from the Institute of Creative Photography at the Silesian University in Opava in the autumn 1998 he had had several one-man exhibitions in prestigious museum such as the Silesian Provincial Museum in Opava, the Opera Gallery and the Fiducia Gallery in Ostrava, the G4 Gallery in Cheb and the renowned Mánes Gallery in Prague. Malík had also dispayed his works at numerous group exibitions. As a teacher at School of Art in Zlaté Hory, he won over tens of his pupils to photography. It is no wonder that Malík´s presence was deeply imprinted on the minds of his colleagues at the Institute. Recently, Malík started teaching the youngest generation of photographers at the Department of Photography of the Secondery School of Art in Ostrava – the very same department that has won such renown.
The cycle "My litlle prose Rose" is not still definitive. Malík frequently returns to same of the photomontages after a time to tansform them as his views and feelings change. Naturally, he works on entirely new projects, too. If there have formely appeared rather faded and diffused motifs together with superficial symbols in some of his works, they can no longer be found there today. The cycle therefore reflects the artist´s path to creative matirity. It is not surprising that Malík become firmly established in the context of contemporary Czech photography.

How much do you know about the dangers of always having a full bladder
tinfob_com
The weather is changeable and the temperature is often low, so people usually like to brush his mobile phone in bed, watch TV, and urinating as the most important biological behavior, because some friends are really lazy or delayed, so they often like to suppress in the cold. In the weather, some friends really have a habit because they can't always fill the bladder. Over time, this has become a habit. But keeping urine for a long time can be very harmful.
When it comes to keeping urine, I am sure it happens to men and women. But a complete bladder can cause pregnancy, so what happened? Let's see. Many of us have experienced urine, especially in the cold winter, we are lazy about everything, let alone go to the bathroom.
Therefore, many people want to stay for a while, but it is very harmful to the body to urinate for a long time, and may even make women infertile. Some people may feel strange, have heard vaginitis, ovarian cysts and other gynecological diseases infertility, but urinating infertility is a bit exaggerated? Ms. Qian, 32, has been married for nearly five years and has been unable to have children. Checked to the hospital, said to be endometriosis.
According to doctors, the reason for this is that you have to urinate for a long time. Since Ms. Qian is the cashier at the mall, the system and long-term customers who are eager to pay their bills are unable to go to the toilet at any time. She has to endure the urge to urinate, leading to infertility.
Why can I prevent urine from causing infertility?
The female bladder and uterus are close neighbors and are located in the pelvis. The bladder is in the front and the uterus is in the back. The urine causes the bladder to fill, squeezing the uterus and moving it backwards. In a short period of time, occasional urinating, the pressure on the uterus is not a big impact, when the pressure disappears, the uterus can return to its original position. However, if you urinate for a long time or often, it is difficult to recover after the uterus moves backwards.
No matter how urgent your work is, you should never defeat your "three urgent needs."
The accused have "three urgency". Many women sit in the office, often because of their working relationship and the meaning of urinating. They are persistent and long-lasting. Female urethra is short, pelvic complex, urinary system is more susceptible to infection than men.
If you often urinate, bladder enlargement will force the uterus, hinder the outflow of menstrual blood, and may also cause severe dysmenorrhea. You should urinate once before you go out. Whether it's work, study, or during a meeting, try to choose a "half-time" time to make yourself "convenient."
After keeping the urine for a period of time, empty the bladder as soon as possible. The best way is to add a lot of water and force yourself to urinate several times. This has a flushing effect on the bladder and can avoid bacterial proliferation in the bladder.
Because this action is to excrete waste outside the body, every time the urethral opening in the urine will cause some bacteria, if there is normal urination, there will be no problem, but some friends, for some reasons, do not want to miss the wonderful TV series. The content, or because the bed is too cold, do not want to come out, etc., for these reasons, many friends tend to fill the bladder, bacteria can not be eliminated in time to accumulate, and then lead to urinary tract infection.
Your bladder is not good
This well-behaved bladder is consciously resistant to nerve stimulation to the body. It is a behavior that resists physiological needs. It is well known that the bladder is where urine is stored. The bladder also has a capacity limitation, but when a complete bladder is long. Time can cause the urine to compress the blood vessels to the bladder, which can cause serious damage. The function of the bladder may affect the normal urination in the future.
The cause of urinary calculi is often bladder filling. Bladder urine is prone to precipitate some small crystal particles due to long-term full bladder retention time, and once the crystal particles can not be treated in time, it can lead to urinary stones, urinary stones males. The average probability of occurrence is higher than that of women.
In addition, urinary tract stones may cause some common infection symptoms, such as hematuria or difficulty urinating. Once this happens, it is recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible and recover as soon as possible.
Urine can cause too much damage to the human body. Some friends need to pay attention to urine for various reasons. Once the urinary system is severely damaged, the consequences are difficult to accept.
But sometimes there is really no way, but you can try to make a complete bladder as little as possible. For the future health of the body, we also need to exercise more, develop good eating habits, eat more fruits and vegetables, and ensure their work and rest. Domination, staying up late, only then can we build a strong body, because the body is the capital of the revolution, protects its body and lays a solid foundation for the struggle!

On titanium oxide catalyst, certain atoms and molecules flee when light appears
by Pacific Northwest National Laboratory
When light strikes oxygen adatoms (red) on the surface of a titanium dioxide catalyst, the adatoms are excited by reactions with electrons and/or holes created in the catalyst. The adatoms undergo a change in their charge state and transfer energy to nearby krypton atoms (green), causing the reporting atoms to depart. A similar result was seen for chemisorbed molecular oxygen.
Long thought to be unresponsive to ultraviolet light, negatively charged oxygen ions stuck to the catalyst's surface, known as oxygen adatoms, actually respond to light, according to scientists at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL). The researchers made this discovery by coating the surface of common catalyst titanium dioxide with krypton reporters. When light strikes the catalyst, the oxygen adatoms become electronically excited and knock the krypton off the surface. The alteration occurs because the adatoms react with electrons and/or holes created by the ultraviolet light.
"The adatoms could be an additional source of photochemical interactions on titanium dioxide or other transition metal surfaces," said Dr. Nikolay Petrik, a physical chemist at PNNL and one of two authors on the yearlong study. "Potentially, the adatoms could participate in other photochemical reactions."
Despite being part of numerous devices and industrial processes, photocatalytic reactions on metal oxides, such as titanium dioxide, are not well understood. This study answers basic questions about the behavior of oxygen adatoms and other forms of chemisorbed oxygen, where the oxygen is adsorbed onto the surface and held by chemical bonds. Fundamental knowledge could lead to innovations in catalysis and energy production technologies, such as solar and fuel cells. "Oxygen on titanium dioxide is important because most applications involve oxygen in some way or another," said Dr. Greg Kimmel, a PNNL chemical physicist and the other scientist on the study.
A challenge in studying the photochemistry of titanium dioxide, such as the light-induced breakdown of water or organic solvents, is that the oxygen adatoms and other forms of chemisorbed oxygen stay put. Most of the chemisorbed oxygens do not desorb thermally, and it is difficult to analyze the oxygen using other techniques. "There are few tools available to tell scientists what is happening with oxygen on the surface," said Petrik. "What we were looking for was a way to probe oxygen left on the surface."
To examine the oxygen's behavior, Petrik came up with the idea of adding reporter molecules to the surface and seeing what they would tell. Reporter molecules have been used for decades, but they had not been applied to this situation. Working together, Petrik and Kimmel began with a slightly reduced crystal of titanium dioxide. They absorbed different forms of chemisorbed oxygen, including oxygen adatoms and molecular oxygen, onto the crystals. Next, they added weakly bonding krypton and shined light on the surface. They found the krypton is knocked off the surface and can be easily measured.
Petrik offers this analogy for understanding the technique. Imagine a large room with an invisible person in it. How do you determine their location, their choices? You could fill the room with balloons. While you can't see the person move, you can determine their actions by the movement of the "reporter" balloons. Photo-active molecules, such as oxygen adatoms or molecular oxygen (O2), are like that invisible person. The departure of the krypton tells the scientists about how the oxygen prowls across the surface.
In this case, the oxygen adatoms are excited by reactions with electrons and/or holes created in the substrate by ultraviolet photon irradiation. The oxygen adatoms undergo a change in their charge state. This change causes the adatoms to move and collide with, and transfer energy to, nearby krypton atoms, overcoming the atoms' binding energy and desorbing them from the surface. The krypton reporters did not depart under other circumstances, including when ultraviolet light hit the surface without adsorbed oxygen. Further, the krypton's departure was not primarily due to its collision with the 11 to 50 percent of molecular oxygen that photo-desorbs.
In regard to oxygen's behavior, Petrik and Kimmel are studying reactions of oxygen with considerably more complicated molecules, such as acetone, via infrared spectroscopy.
Scientists show what it takes to get potential fuel feedstock to a reactive spot on model catalyst
