SynopsisCarlos Salzedo, the most influential harpist of the 20th century, was born in Arcachon, France, on today's date in 1885. Salzedo transformed the harp into a virtuoso instrument, developing new techniques showcased in his own compositions and that others like Stravinsky, Schoenberg, and Britten adopted in theirs.In 1921, Salzedo and Edgard Varese co-founded the International Composers Guild, promoting works by progressive composers like Bartok and Honegger. Salzedo's compositions for harp include both transcriptions as well as original works like Scintillation, probably his most famous piece, and Four Preludes to the Afternoon of a Telephone, based on the phone numbers of four of his students. He taught at the Curtis Institute and the Juilliard School, and offered summer courses in Camden, Maine. Hundreds of Salzedo pupils filled harp positions with major orchestras around the world. Salzedo himself entered the Paris Conservatory at 9 and won the premiere prize in harp and piano when he was 16. He came to America in 1909 at the invitation of Arturo Toscanini, who wanted him as harpist at the Metropolitan Opera, and — curious to note — Salzedo died in the summer of 1961, at 76, while adjudicating Metropolitan Opera regional auditions in Maine.Music Played in Today's ProgramCarlos Salzedo (1885-1961): Scintillation; Carlos Sazledo, harp; Mercury LP MG-80003

In this episode, my guest is Dr. Brian Keating, Ph.D., a cosmologist and professor of physics at the University of California, San Diego. We discuss the origins of the universe and how humans have used light and optics to understand where and how life on Earth emerged. We explore how early humans charted the stars, sun, moon, and other celestial events to measure time and track seasons, as well as how stargazing continues to connect us to a shared ancient experience. Additionally, we examine the scientific process, the practical and ethical challenges of pursuing groundbreaking discoveries, and the emotional toll of striving for recognition in one's profession. Finally, we discuss whether astrology has any scientific validity and consider the possibility of life beyond Earth. Read the full episode show notes at hubermanlab.com.

Space capabilities permit enhanced situational understanding; provides global communications; enables precise and accurate fires; supports the conduct of joint expeditionary entry, movement, and maneuver operations; and provides a conduit for cyber electromagnetic operations supporting Unified Land Operations. These capabilities directly support large slarge-scalecale combat operations by enhancing command and control, providing secure communications over extended distances and across areas without modern infrastructure.Potential adversaries have identified U.S. reliance on space-based capabilities as a critical vulnerability and will attempt to exploit it in order to deter and degrade our ability to act. Army space operations seek ways to maintain assured access to space capabilities, and when necessary, to achieve its objectives in spite of the adversary's counterspace efforts.Army space operations are conducted around the globe, but engaged regionally. Army space operations often are an integral part of a joint team used to plan, fight, and adapt operations across the range of military operations. Army space operations continue to evolve to meet the requirements of a complex and rapidly changing OE.Army space doctrine refines and expands upon joint space doctrine by defining those space tactics and procedures relevant to unified land operations and applicable to large-scale combat operations. Army space operations applies to the tactical, operational, and strategic levels of war, but the results are often challenging to quantify which level or levels benefit as modern conflict may not be easily divided into discrete levels. In an internet-connected world which often exploits social media, theater-level tactical actions may have far-reaching operational and strategic-level impacts. The space capabilities form the framework for how space operations supports the Army warfighting functions. From FM 3-12 CYBERSPACE OPERATIONS AND ELECTROMAGNETIC WARFARE:Cyberspace operations are the employment of cyberspace capabilities where the primary purpose is to achieve objectives in or through cyberspace (JP 3-0). Electromagnetic warfare is a military action involving the use of electromagnetic and directed energy to control the electromagnetic spectrum or to attack the enemy (JP 3-85).Cyberspace is one of the five domains of warfare and uses a portion of the electromagnetic spectrum (EMS) for operations, for example, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and satellite transport. Therefore, cyberspace operations and EW require frequency assignment, management, and coordination performed by spectrum management operations. Spectrum management operations consist of four key functions—spectrum management, frequency assignment, host-nation coordination, and policy adherence. Spectrum management operations include preventing and mitigating frequency conflicts and electromagnetic interference (EMI) between friendly forces and host nations during Army operations (refer to ATP 6-02.70). Army Special Operations Recruiting:SOF Recruiting Page (soc.mil)https://www.soc.mil/USASOCHQ/recruiting.html GoArmySOF Site:https://www.goarmysof.army.mil/ The Official Podcast of the United States Army Special Warfare Center and School!USAJFKSWCS selects and trains all Army Special Forces, Civil Affairs, and Psychological Operations soldiers. Please visit our website at: https://www.swcs.milBe sure to check us out and follow us at:https://www.facebook.com/jfkcenterandschoolhttps://www.instagram.com/u.s.armyswcs/https://www.youtube.com/c/USAJFKSWCS/videosPlease like, subscribe, and leave a review!

In Episode 13 I discussed how “Cut is King” when it comes to diamonds, and how a better cut can make a diamond look brighter, bolder, bigger, and more beautiful. But what exactly are the visual properties that contribute to a diamond's appearance? There are three: fire, brilliance, and scintillation. The intensity of each of these properties varies based on how well the diamond is cut. Fire refers to the way a diamond breaks up white light into its spectral colors, creating a rainbow effect. Brilliance describes the amount of white light that a diamond reflects back to us, creating a brighter look. Scintillation refers to the flashes of light that come off the diamond when it moves, creating that dazzling effect we all love. Together, these properties determine a diamond's beauty and value compared to other diamonds. And that's why Cut is so important - it's the most visual aspect of a diamond's quality. Which means, the next time you're admiring a diamond, keep these properties in mind and know that a well-cut diamond will look more beautiful and therefore cost more.

Magnetohydrodynamic simulation of coronal mass ejections using interplanetary scintillation data observed from radio sites ISEE and LOFAR by Kazumasa Iwai et al. on Monday 26 September Interplanetary scintillation (IPS) is a useful tool for detecting coronal mass ejections (CMEs) throughout interplanetary space. Global magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulations of the heliosphere, which are usually used to predict the arrival and geo-effectiveness of CMEs, can be improved using IPS data. In this study, we demonstrate an MHD simulation that includes IPS data from multiple stations to improve CME modelling. The CMEs, which occurred on 09-10 September 2017, were observed over the period 10-12 September 2017 using the Low-Frequency Array (LOFAR) and IPS array of the Institute for Space-Earth Environmental Research (ISEE), Nagoya University, as they tracked through the inner heliosphere. We simulated CME propagation using a global MHD simulation, SUSANOO-CME, in which CMEs were modeled as spheromaks, and the IPS data were synthesised from the simulation results. The MHD simulation suggests that the CMEs merged in interplanetary space, forming complicated IPS g-level distributions in the sky map. We found that the MHD simulation that best fits both LOFAR and ISEE data provided a better reconstruction of the CMEs and a better forecast of their arrival at Earth than from measurements when these simulations were fit from the ISEE site alone. More IPS data observed from multiple stations at different local times in this study can help reconstruct the global structure of the CME, thus improving and evaluating the CME modelling. arXiv: http://arxiv.org/abs/http://arxiv.org/abs/2209.12486v1

The Tunka-Grande scintillation array: current results by A. L. Ivanova et al. on Monday 12 September The Tunka-Grande experiment is a scintillation array with about 0.5 sq.km sensitive area at Tunka Valley, Siberia, for measuring charged particles and muons in extensive air showers (EASs). Tunka-Grande is optimized for cosmic ray studies in the energy range 10 PeV to about 1 EeV, where exploring the composition is of fundamental importance for understanding the transition from galactic to extragalactic origin of cosmic rays. This paper attempts to provide a synopsis of the current results of the experiment. In particular, the reconstruction of the all-particle energy spectrum in the range of 10 PeV to 1 EeV based on experimental data from four observation seasons is presented. arXiv: http://arxiv.org/abs/http://arxiv.org/abs/2207.09680v2

What famous harpist has his 137th birthday this week? Carlos Salzedo, that's who. This harpist and musical innovator was born in Arcachon, France on April 6, 1885, and on today's show I would like to introduce you to a side of his music you may not have encountered, including some music not only playable but even suitable for lever harp. Before we get started, you will need to know a little of my own background. I was brought up in the Salzedo tradition. My teacher studied with Salzedo. I went to the Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia; Salzedo had founded the harp department there, and I had my lessons in the Salzedo Room. And so Salzedo's tonal language became part of my musical education from the very first. I learned Tango - my first harp recital piece - and Night Breeze, which I will play for you later today. I learned the Preludes Intimes and Song in the Night (Chanson dans la nuit). Then I went on to learn the Five Preludes and the Modern Study Etudes and everything Salzedo from Scintillation and Ballade to Traipsin' Thru Arkansaw.   It was a little like I imagine it might be if you grow up eating the cuisine of your parents' homeland, one which is very different from the food where you were growing up. For instance, kimchi may be your comfort food in a land where mac and cheese is more common. Because you essentially live in two different culinary worlds, you develop an appreciation for many kinds of foods.  For me, I grew up on Salzedo's music and it never seemed strange to me, although I could hear the contrast between much of his music and the music of other composers. What I learned later was why his music sounded different, not just in terms of the ways he used melody and harmony, but in his entire approach to the harp, his idea of the instrument itself.  Today I will share a little of the insights I have gleaned from studying his music. I will play a few short pieces for you too. And I hope along the way you will decide to try some of Salzedo's music yourself.  Links to things I think you might be interested in that were mentioned in the podcast episode:  Warm-ups with a Focus course Links to music heard in this episode: Little Jacques' Lullaby Night Breeze Petite Valse For further reading on a related topic: Family Connections: Alphonse Hasselmans and Pentacle, by Marietta Bitter Harpmastery.com Get involved in the show!

Link to bioRxiv paper: http://biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2020.08.29.273359v1?rss=1 Authors: Bartley, A. F., Fischer, M., Bagley, M. E., Barnes, J. A., Burdette, M. K., Cannon, K. E., Bolding, M. S., Foulger, S. H., McMahon, L. L., Weick, J. P., Dobrunz, L. E. Abstract: Optogenetics is a widely used tool for studying neural circuits. However, non-invasive methods for light delivery in the brain are needed to avoid physical damage typically caused by intracranial insertion of light guides. An innovative strategy could employ X-ray activation of radioluminescent particles (RLPs) to emit localized light. We previously reported that RLPs composed of cerium doped lutetium oxyorthosilicate (LSO:Ce), an inorganic scintillator that emits blue light, are biocompatible with neuronal function and synaptic transmission. However, little is known about the consequences of acute X-ray exposure on synaptic function and long-term plasticity. Furthermore, modulation of neuronal or synaptic function by X-ray induced radioluminescence from RLPs has not yet been demonstrated. Here we show that 30 minutes of X-ray exposure at a rate of 0.042 Gy/second caused no change in the strength of basal glutamatergic transmission during extracellular dendritic field recordings in mouse hippocampal slices. Additionally, long-term potentiation (LTP), a robust measure of synaptic integrity, was able to be induced after X-ray exposure and expressed at a magnitude not different from control conditions (absence of X-rays). This is important as synaptic plasticity is critical to learning and memory. Next, we used molecular and electrophysiological approaches to determine if X-ray dependent radioluminescence emitted from RLPs can activate light sensitive proteins. We found that X-ray stimulation of RLPs elevated cAMP levels in HEK293T cells expressing OptoXR, a chimeric opsin receptor that combines the extracellular light-sensitive domain of channelrhodopsin-2 (ChR2) with an intracellular second messenger signaling cascade. This demonstrates that X-ray radioluminescence from LSO:Ce particles can activate OptoXR. Next, we tested whether X-ray activation of the RLPs can enhance synaptic activity in whole-cell recordings from hippocampal neurons expressing ChR2, both in cell culture and acute hippocampal slices. Importantly, X-ray radioluminescence caused an increase in the frequency of spontaneous excitatory postsynaptic currents (sEPSCs) in both systems, indicating activation of ChR2 and excitation of neurons. Together, our results show that X-ray activation of LSO:Ce particles can heighten cellular and synaptic function. The combination of LSO:Ce inorganic scintillators and X-rays is therefore a viable method for optogenetics as an alternative to more invasive light delivery methods.

“a slight nick” [SILV]    If you're a regular Sherlockian, you've likely discovered that many other people in this hobby also enjoy Star Trek (which makes the Spock / Leonard Nimoy connections all the more...fascinating, as Spock would say). But how often do you hear from a guest that Irene Adler was the Boba Fett of the Sherlock Holmes stories?   That's exactly one of the unusual and unique takes we got from Nick Martorelli, BSI ("Seventeen Steps"), the Headmaster of the Priory Scholars of New York, audio producer, and all-around good humored Sherlockian. Nick reminds us that looking across works as a whole, rather than at individual parts, can help us make more sense of things. He shares the premise of a major talk he recently gave at A Scintillation of Scions, which looked at the four long stories in the Sherlock Holmes Canon.    Plus, if you listen closely, you might hear Nick take a stab at the Priory Scholars school song and tease an upcoming Sherlockian audio book.   And don't forget to try your hand at the latest Canonical Couplet and win a prize – you don't need to be a  – now every listener is eligible to participate!       Please do consider becoming a .

 "I could easily dispose of the mythical" [SILV]    There are assumptions and myths mentioned throughout the Sherlock Holmes stories. Whether they're believed by clients, Scotland Yard inspectors, or others, they throw our attention elsewhere.    And the Sherlockian world has had its own fair share of myths to deal with over the years as well. Join us as we try to identify and bust a few myths.    Have you left us a rating and review on the podcast player of your choice yet?

"Excellent, Watson! You scintillate today." [ILLU]  In 2017, we'll celebrate the 10th anniversary of , appropriately called "a family reunion for Sherlockians." In this episode, we're fortunate to be able to speak with the founder of the event, Jacquelynn Morris, BSI ("The Lion's Mane"). From an AOL discussion board to membership in one of Maryland's finest Sherlockian societies, we hear about Jacquelynn's first meeting with Sherlock Holmes and the many people who have influenced her along the way. Hers is a story that typifies the magnificent power of friendship and colleagues as one finds one's way into the world of Sherlock Holmes fans. It includes the encouragement of outsiders and younger individuals, a fine tradition which Jacquelynn herself carries on today. We also touch on topics such as Undershaw and 's latest publication . Much like an onion, the more layers we peel back from Jacquelynn, the more we discover — and she's fascinating! Listen in to find out what a wedding, a swordfight, Vincent Wright and a deli platter have in common.   Notes 1:35 Introduction 3:24 Sponsor — Wessex Press 4:45 Welcome Jacquelynn Morris, BSI, ASH 10:30 Remembering alt.fan.holmes, the Hounds of the Internet and Steve Clarkson 12:01 Watson's Tin Box of Ellicott City, Maryland 14:58 If you own a restaurant, be wary of Watson's Tin Box 18:08 Saturdays with Sherlock Holmes at the Pratt Library 20:23 The origins of A Scintillation of Scions 26:34 Essay contest for 7th graders in Howard County, Maryland 32:30 The stand-out speaker of all of the Scintillations 33:22 Other memorable events at Scintillation 35:48 Upcoming features at A Scintillation of Scions X 38:09 Getting involved with Undershaw 42:57 Jacquelynn's contribution to About Sixty 50:00 A chapter in The Wrong Passage about which poison Anna Coram took 57:53 Sponsor — The Baker Street Journal 1:00:09 Contact information and review 1:01:36 Sherlock Holmes Brand ad 1:02:43 Special news announcement   Sponsors This episode includes our two longtime sponsors.

The 15th of every month brings a new episode, and our latest is chock full of Sherlockian nuggets. There's a legal case afoot, in case you haven't heard. We cover the latest broadside from the Conan Doyle Estate, Ltd. - the #FreeMrHolmes saga - and discuss the movie starring Sir Ian McKellen. We ponder Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's epitaph if written under the present clouds of the estate's business dealings.   We also take a moment to pause and reflect on the screening of the William Gillette 1916 film, our 1,000th post and the Scintillation of Scions event. It's been a busy month!   Burt takes us on an audio journey to Roslyn in the Hoboken-Free State to celebrate the 125th birthday of Christopher Morley, founder of the Baker Street Irregulars. There we hear from Morley scholar and Baker Street Journal editor Steven Rothman, BSI ("The Valley of Fear") and Terry Hunt, BSI ("The Something Hunt"), as well as two grandchildren of Morley.    Mental Exaltation Another installment of our successful quiz program, written by IHOSE quizmaster Nick Martorelli, is all about the legal profession in the Sherlock Holmes stories. Sandy Kozinn joined us from New Jersey to play - listen to hear how she did.     We welcome a guest reader for this episode's Gas-Lamp reading: Ray Betzner. Ray gave a touching talk at the BSI Dinner in January and an encore presentation at the Sons of the Copper Beeches in April. It is titled "A Case of Identity: Sigerson's Choice" and it is remarkable.   Finally, we conclude with some listener comments, including a very surprising duo.      [Save As] | File size 43.8 MB, 1:35:25 Links You may have missed , but edition IX is coming next year.

On episode 34, Babes Ardy and Maria get to chat it up with Amy, Maz and Trills, three fabulous ladies who, like many other Holmes fans, have written fan fiction about various incarnations of Holmes and Watson. We want to know all sorts of things from them! What drives a person to write fan fiction in the first place? What kinds of things do they like to read and write? What do they think about pastiches? How do Holmes and Watson work in an alternate universe where they're pilots, or cats, or space cowboys? What makes them so attractive and enduring to writers and readers? Our guests have also been involved in fandom as a community, so we talk about the sorts of things that can happen when organising and attending fan events (also known as Lessons in Herding Cats 101). There are a lot of giggles in this episode, and discussions of all manner of fan fictions. Join us for an interesting and entertaining discussion, and feel free to add your voice to it. You can follow our guests on Twitter at , , and . Or you can look up these usernames on to have a look at their fic, if the podcast has whetted your appetite.   We have a new sponsor: Scintillation of Scions! Make sure you check them out at or on Twitter at .
