nyt HS:n elokuvatoimittaja Pertti Avola valitsi kuusi romanttisinta Suomi-filmiä. 1. Laulu tulipunaisesta kukasta (1938) Johannes Linnankosken klassikkoromaani on filmattu usein, mutta Teuvo Tulion 1930-lukuinen versio on niistä paras. Tarina tukkilais-Olavin ( Kaarlo Oksanen ) rakkauksista ja lopullisesta kesyyntymisestä perheenisäksi hehkuu kesää ja intohimoja, etenkin alkupuolellaan kun Olavi pääsee piikatyttö Gasellin ( Nora Mäkinen ) aittaan. Regina Linnanheimo ja Tauno Palo riutuvat rakkaudessa Kaivopuiston kauniissa Reginassa. 2. Katariina ja Munkkiniemen kreivi riutuvat Kaivopuiston Reginan tapaan. 3. IS arkisto Tauno Palo ja Helena Kara ja Valkoiset ruusut. 4. 5. Zade Rosenthal / handout André Wilms ja Kati Outinen sinnittivelevät Le Havressa. 6.

TWAN project official website A stunning collection of nightscape photos (night sky above landscape) are selected as the winners and honorable mention photos of the 5th International Earth & Sky Photo Contest. The contest was open to anyone of any age, anywhere in the world; to both professional and amateur/hobby photographers. With a significant increase to the last year contest over 1000 entries were received and 80% of them were approved for the contest judging. According to the contest theme of “Dark Skies Importance,” the submitted photos were judged in two categories: “Beauty of The Night Sky” and “Against The Lights.” Contest Winners The first prize in Against the Lights category (and the overall contest winner) goes to Giorgia Hofer of Italy for her photo “Light in the Sky” taken on 2014 Jan 1 from Cibiana Pass in the Dolomites (Alps), northern Italy. “Reflected Aurora” by Alex Conu of Romania is the second place winner in the Lights category.

download Skip to content My Galaxies Celebrating five years of Oxford Bibliographies The librarians at Bates College first became interested in Oxford Bibliographies a little over five years ago. We believed there was great promise for a new resource OUP was developing, in which scholars around the world would be contributing their expertise by selecting citations, commenting on them, and placing them in context for end users. It would be an innovative approach for finding authoritative and trusted sources, and one that was likely to work well in an online environment. In the summer of 2010, our research librarians agreed that they would really like to see how we might make use of Oxford Bibliographies at our undergraduate liberal arts institution. Along with other libraries, we were able to offer our ideas in the early months when a core list of subject modules was already in place, with additional ones being worked on in the wings. The platform and resource itself evolved rapidly. Why has this resource worked for our college?

Schrödinger's microbe: physicists plan to put living organism in two places at once | Science Physicists have drawn up plans to put a living organism in two places at once in a radical demonstration of quantum theory. The scientists aim to suspend a common microbe in an uncertain state similar to that endured by Schrödinger’s cat, which is portrayed in the Nobel laureate’s famous thought experiment as dead and alive at the same time. But instead of harnessing the bizarre laws of the quantum world to hold a hapless bacterium in limbo, the uncertainty will centre on the bug’s geographical whereabouts. “It is cool to put an organism in two different locations at the same time,” Tongcang Li of Purdue University, Indiana, told the Guardian. “In many fairy tales, a fairy could be at two different locations or change locations instantly. The rules of quantum mechanics allow for objects to be in a “superposition” of two different states at once. Erwin Schrödinger, one of the founding fathers of quantum theory, proposed his thought experiment in 1935.
