Chapter 4: Ban and Bors Arthur returned to London, and following Merlin's advise, he called his barons to council, for Merlin had told the king that the six kings would quickly try to attack him and his lands.
His barons offered no advice other than that they had enough men. “I thank you for your courage,” said Arthur, “but will you all who say you love me, speak with Merlin? He has done much for me and he knows many things.” The barons agreed to hear Merlin, who was sent for. “I say to you,” said Merlin, “I warn you all that your enemies are strong and they are as good soldiers as live. “What shall we do?” “I shall give you my advice,” said Merlin. The king and the barons agreed to Merlin's plan. “Therefore,” said the spokesman of the eight knights, “you shall die or be our prisoners, for we are knights of King Claudas.” When the two messenger knights arrived at Benwick they were pleased to find both Kings Ban and Bors there. “Ha!” “When do you suppose we can expect the two kings?” “Ha! Scientists discover dying corals, creatures near gulf oil spill site — Penn State University. On a research ship in the Gulf of Mexico on Tuesday, Nov. 2, seven miles southwest of the site of the Deep Water Horizon oil spill, a team of scientists discovered a community of corals that includes many recently dead colonies and others that clearly are dying.
"We discovered a community of coral that has been impacted fairly recently by something very toxic," said the chief scientist on the cruise, Charles Fisher, who is a professor of biology at Penn State and a member of the research team that selected the site for study. Fisher said the research team encountered a colony of the hard coral species Madrepora that appeared to be unhealthy on Nov. 2, at a depth of 1,400 meters. "Although some branches of the coral colony appeared normal, other branches clearly were covered in a brown material, apparently sloughing tissue, and were producing abundant mucous," Fisher said. However, "The compelling evidence that we collected constitutes a smoking gun," Fisher said.
Oil dispersants an environmental ‘crapshoot’ - Disaster in the Gulf. The timing could not be worse for the bluefin tuna. The majestic, deepwater giant — threatened by overfishing — had just lost a bid for protection as an endangered species when oil started gushing into its spawning grounds in the Gulf of Mexico. Now, a part of the emergency response to the oil — the large-scale use of dispersants — could further imperil the species by sinking the oil beneath the Gulf’s surface and into the zone where its eggs and larvae are floating, marine biologists say.
The chemical dispersants — a standard tool in the oil cleanup business — are being used by the Deepwater Horizon response team to break up the oil offshore in hopes of preventing thick crude from wrecking delicate marshlands, mangroves and pristine beaches. The federal government — the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the Environmental Protection Agency, the U.S. Dispersants themselves are toxic. “It’s hard to see them,” said Lee Crockett, director of U.S. . © 2013 msnbc.com Reprints. Scientists Find Thick Layer Of Oil On Seafloor. Scientists Detect Oil on Gulf Floor. By Vickie ChachereUSF.edu News Manager ST. PETERSBURG (Aug. 17, 2010) – University of South Florida marine scientists conducting experiments in an area of the Gulf of Mexico where clouds of oil from the BP spill were found now have discovered what appears to be oil in sediments of a vital underwater canyon and observed evidence that the oil has become toxic to critical marine organisms.
In preliminary results, the scientists aboard the R/V Weatherbird II discovered that oil-droplets are distributed on the Gulf's marine sediments in the DeSoto Canyon. The canyon is a critical area that provides nutrient-rich waters that support the spawning grounds of commercially important fish species on the West Florida Shelf. The preliminary findings may suggest that sub-surface oil is emerging onto the West Florida Shelf though the canyon, a geologic feature located east-northeast of the Deepwater Horizon well site. The researchers found: The Search for BP's Oil.

There they are, doing their sleek silvery thing, weaving between translucent waves, disappearing under the boat, reappearing in perfect formation on the other side.
After taking my fill of phone video (and very pleased not to have dropped the device into the Gulf of Mexico), I bump into Gregory Ellis, one of the junior scientists aboard. “Did you see them?” I ask excitedly. “You mean the charismatic megafauna?” Ouch. Normally these academics would be fine without our fascination. It didn’t help that the government seemed determined to help move us along.

Here is what we know so far. Oil Spill Dispersants: Efficacy and Effects. 08sintef.pdf (application/pdf Object) OIL SPILL DISPERSANTS Chemicals Used in Deep Waters Should Be Studied for Use Closer to Coastline| IN FOCUS, 5.2. Chemicals Used in Deep Waters Should Be Studied for Use Closer to Coastline The National Research Council issued a report in 1989 that recommended chemical dispersants be considered as a first response option to oil spills. When the worst oil spill in U.S. history occurred later that year, cleanup crews tried to use oil dispersants at the scene of the Exxon Valdez disaster. Although sufficient supplies of a chemical dispersant were stored nearby, only one helicopter bucket spray system was available to apply the chemical to the slick, and the few applications that did take place were deemed ineffective.
Since then, dispersants have been used extensively in other parts of the world, and they have been successfully employed in response to several oil spills in the Gulf of Mexico. For now, experiments should be conducted in wave tanks, although field testing in actual water environments may be deemed necessary in the future, the report says. -- Bill Kearney.

EPA: Subsea oil dispersants in Gulf were a test? Subsea dispersants the right call, EPA administrator believes Published: Sunday, June 27, 2010, 8:00 AM Jonathan Tilove Six weeks after she OK'd the unprecedented subsea application of dispersants into the oil gushing from a hole in the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico. EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson thinks she made the right call. "So far the data show we haven't done any damage and actually we've helped with dispersion and used a lot less of the chemical in the process," Jackson said in her office last week.
"But that was probably one of the toughest decisions I've ever made because I don't usually say, introduce any substance, even one that's less toxic, to try to fight a problem, and yet, we had to make it. " As of this week, BP has applied nearly 1.5 million gallons of dispersant into the largest oil spill in U.S. history -- almost one million gallons on the surface, and another half-million in the subsea, the first time it has ever been used there.

George Clooney Playboy Interview - July 2000 Celebrity Interview - George Clooney Playboy Magazine. In 1962, future Pulitzer Prize–winning author Alex Haley sat down with jazz musician Miles Davis for what would become an institution of American journalism—the Playboy Interview. To celebrate the Interview’s 50th anniversary, Playboy has culled 50 of its most (in)famous Interviews and will publish them over the course of 50 weekdays (from September 4, 2012 to November 12, 2012) via Amazon’s Kindle Direct platform.

Product Details Color-changing dyes and additives have been offered in paper, plastic, and textiles for some time, but this product takes the idea into a new area: glass tiles.
Offered in a range of colors and sensitivities, the tiles change color based on ambient temperature, body temperature, or water temperature. The textured glass surface layer protects and highlights the color-change film on the tile. The base color of the tile can match almost any color, and the temperature change point can be fit to the user’s environment and requirements. The dynamic color change begins at the selected activation temperature and shimmers through three phases, one with each 6–10° rise in temperature. Once the temperature peak is passed, the base color returns and remains the same until the temperature drops.
The tiles come in six standard lines. Periodic Table Magnets :: Home & Office. HERBS AND THIER MAGICAL USES.

This is an extract of one of the earliest translations of the "Arabian Nights" into English, made by Sir Richard Francis Burton. I got the "flat" ASCII text from a gopher server that has been unavailable for some years now. I have no idea who scanned/typed the text. This extract is not nearly complete. The "arabian nighs" form a huge text corpus, and in translating them, Burton performed a gargantuan work. At ca. 350 pages per volume and 16 volumes, the full text corpus will contain some 11MByte. I have no idea whether it has been digitized in its totality (books.google.com seems to contain some scanned volumes, but the content is not visible). This present extract (of about 1.2 MByte) contains an estimated 10% of Burton's work. In 1996, I HTML'ed the text and split it up to make it better readable.
