Like other federal agencies, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development is facing possible cuts to staffing and funding. The federal agency’s green and resilient retrofit program is intended to upgrade aging affordable housing. The program would also help fund proposals that reduced energy use.   But as the Associated Press reported, funding is being terminated by the Department of Government Efficiency and links to the program on the housing department’s site are no longer available.  Nonprofit leaders in the affordable housing industry say they’re still waiting for federal dollars that were promised. Managers of Smith Tower, an apartment building in Vancouver, say they were awarded funding but haven’t received the money. The construction is currently in limbo, The Columbian reported.    Margaret Salazar is the CEO of REACH Community Development,  a nonprofit affordable housing provider. She joins us with more on how this affects Oregon’s housing crisis and what it means for low-income residents.   

At 10:25 a.m. Friday, the Vancouver Fire Department was dispatched to the report of a high-rise fire in the Smith Tower apartments at 515 Washington St. in downtown Vancouver. http://tinyurl.com/3ay32a9d #VancouverWaFireDepartment #ClarkCountyFireDistrict6 #ClarkCowlitzFireRescue #SmithTowerApartments #ApartmentFire #HighRiseFire #VancouverFireMarshalsOffice #VancouverWa #ClarkCountyWa #ClarkCountyNews #ClarkCountyToday

#095: Chauncey Wright turned his Klondike gold rush grub stake into a profitable Seattle restaurant empire despite being known to never deny a broke, hungry man a free meal. He pioneered the eight hour restaurant shift and paid his staff the same rate as they had been earning for a ten hour day. He died young, his widow Annie married a drunkard, and the Chauncey Wright Restaurants Company was taken over by Hazen J. Titus - a marketing guy from the Northern Pacific Railroad who promoted giant baked potatoes and Wright-branded fruitcakes. Annie continued to maintain the Wright restaurant in the Smith Tower - at the time the tallest building West of the Mississippi and the tallest building on the West Coast until the space Needle was completed in 1962.

The Field Guide to Particle Physics : Season 2https://pasayten.org/the-field-guide-to-particle-physics©2022 The Pasayten Institute cc by-sa-4.0The definitive resource for all data in particle physics is the Particle Data Group: https://pdg.lbl.gov.The Pasayten Institute is on a mission to build and share physics knowledge, without barriers! Get in touch.The Neutral KaonsBefore we can describe neutral kaons in the wild, we need to take a quick detour to the city.South of Downtown Seattle resides the historic Pioneer Square. Bricks line the sidewalks and the ends of metal, reinforcement bars stick out of the old, stone buildings. Approaching the iconic Smith Tower, you cross Yesler Way, and something happens. The direction of the streets change.South of Yesler, the streets all run north-south. The grid, in other words, matches the cardinal points of the compass: north south, east west. When you cross Yesler, confusingly, everything rotates by 45 degrees.The streets of downtown Seattle - between Yesler Way and Denny Way - all point Northwest. The rotation of streets is made to match the contour of Elliot Bay. The waterfront goes NW to SE. Streets run parallel and perpendicular to it.It's often easier for us to think in terms of north south east west, but sometimes the geographic features of the terrain forces a change. There are still two directions, it's just a shift in our frame of reference.This idea of a 45-degree shift in our frame of reference, mixing North with West and South with East, is very similar to how the neutral kaons behave.Introducing the Neutral KaonsThere are two, electrically neutral kaons. K0 and K0bar. Like the eta and eta prime mesons - which are also electrically neutral - these neutral kaons are mesons that include a strange quark.The strange quark is like the down quark, only quite a bit heavier. Because it's heavier, the particles comprised of them like the kaons, also tend to be heavier.Mesons - like the kaons - are quark molecules made from one quark and one antiquark. The strange quark is a heavy version of the down quark, and so both have an electric charge of -1/3.  Neutral kaons are combinations of to quark-antiquark pairs: down-antiStrange and strange-antiDown. These two combinations are called K0 and K0bar, respectively.With masses just shy of 500 MeV, these neutral kaons are heavy. Unlike the heavy and short-lived eta and eta prime mesons, the lifetime of these neutral kaons is considerably longer. Like the Lambda zero baryon, the strange quark makes it difficult for the neutral kaons to decay. How they decay brings us back to the streets of Seattle.The Long and Short of itThe charged kaons presented a mystery because they could decay to both three pions and two pions. This confused particle physicists for quite some time. Neutral kaons also share this curious property, with nuance, of course.Like the street map of Seattle, K0 and K0bar mix. While moving through space, a K0 can spontaneously change into a K0bar and vice versa. This mixing is something of an artifact of an even stranger phenomena. Strictly speaking, neither the K0 nor K0bar mesons interact with Weak nuclear force. Only mixtures of them interact the W bosons. Just like North and East can combine to Northwest and Northeast, we think of these kaon combinations as K0 plus K0bar or K0 minus K0bar. It's like a rotation by plus or minus 45 degrees.How is the possible? In a word, Quantum Mechanics. You might say that the Strong nuclear force - the thing that binds quarks together into bigger particles - respects the individual identities of those quarks: up, down and strange. The Weak nuclear force, however, does not. These particle-antiparticle oscillations are similar to the flavor oscillations experienced by the three flavors of neutrini. The “minus” combination is sometimes called K-short, because it decays relatively quickly: just shy of 8 percent of a nanosecond. The “plus” combination is sometimes called K-long, which takes 50 nanoseconds,.Any nanoseconds is an eternity by particle physics standards, but it's remarkable that K-short decays 1700 times faster than K-long given that they're made of the same things.In some sense the K0-K0bar mixing occurs because the “K-short” combination wants to decay so much faster than “K-long”. Given a beam full of ONLY K0 particles, it will eventually turn into ONLY a beam of K-long particles. The K-shorts will all decay.K-short decays into pairs of pions, either two pi0s or a pi plus-pi minus combination.K-long decays into three pions: either one of each or three pi zeros. K-longs actually decays into electrons or muons too - or their associated antiparticles - along with a single charged pion of opposite charge.In SummaryThe number of fine details in the mixing of neutral kaons is staggering.  I'll give you three examples. First: if a K0 decays into an electron-like particle, it's virtually always going to be the anti-electron with a pi minus.  Second, and oppositely, if K0bar decays like that, it will always output an electron with a pi plus. Finally, there is an extremely  small mass difference between K-long and K-short. 3 parts per trillion. The quantum mixing of the two neutral kaons is just the first hint that particle physics only gets more complex and strange as we delve deeper into it. So take a breath. Relax your shoulders. And then get excited. There's still plenty more to see.

On the 130th episode of the Seattle Foodie Podcast, the show might have gone off the rails just a tiny bit. Nelson recently visited Smith Tower for Happy Hour this past week and it made us reminisce about the first time we both visited the Smith Tower for the first time and this selfie. Smith Tower is reopened for happy hour, cocktails, and food, so make sure to check out Seattle's bar with the best views. In addition to the Smith Tower, Nelson also went out to West Seattle for dinner at Lady Jaye, returned to Mangosteen and BobaBar for drinks, wings, and popcorn chicken, had hot pot with the family, and picked up an order of wings from Tony's Bakery and Deli. Meanwhile, Monica had lunch at Dumpling Generation in Lake Forest Park, had another cake delivery this time with BabyCakes, had savory pies and cookies delivered by GoodAFBakedGoods, and also had beer delivered to her from Logan Brewing in Burien. Thank you so much for listening and we hope you enjoy the latest episode of the Seattle Foodie Podcast!

A gray day in a gray time. Along the waterfront, seaplanes from the Gorst Air Transport company rose slowly from the surface of Puget Sound and droned westward, flying low under the cloud cover, beginning their short hops over to the naval shipyard at Bremerton. Ferries crawled away from Colman Dock on water as flat and dull as old pewter. Downtown, the Smith Tower pointed, like an upraised finger, toward somber skies. On the streets below the tower, men in fraying suit coats, worn-out shoes, and battered felt fedoras wheeled wooden carts toward the street corners where they would spend the day selling apples and oranges and packages of gum for a few pennies apiece. Around the corner, on the steep incline of Yesler Way, Seattle's old, original Skid Road, more men stood in long lines, heads bent, regarding the wet sidewalks and talking softly among themselves as they waited for the soup kitchens to open. Trucks from the Seattle Post-Intelligencer rattled along cobblestone streets, dropping off bundles of newspapers. Newsboys in woolen caps lugged the bundles to busy intersections, to trolley stops, and to hotel entrances, where they held the papers aloft, hawking them for two cents a copy, shouting out the day's headline: “15,000,000 to Get U.S. Relief.” A few blocks south of Yesler, in a shantytown sprawling along the edge of Elliott Bay, children awoke in damp cardboard boxes that served as beds. Their parents crawled out of tin-and-tar-paper shacks and into the stench of sewage and rotting seaweed from the mudflats to the west. They broke apart wooden crates and stooped over smoky campfires, feeding the flames. They looked up at the uniform gray skies and, seeing in them tokens of much colder weather ahead, wondered how they would make it through another winter.968重庆之声每周一至周五8点56分每天三分钟养成良好英语听说习惯
