Consider that at 85, he still shows up at such events as a Massachusetts Department of Transportation meeting on Nov. 19 to present a report touting a long-proposed rail link between Boston South and North stations, which would speed up travel throughout eastern New England. At such meetings, he patiently waits his turn to speak.

Ordinary crystals such as salt or quartz are examples of three-dimensional, ordered spatial crystals. Their atoms are arranged in a repeating system, something scientists have known for a century.

Originally, Holi’s hues came from plant sources: Green was made from ground neem leaves (Azadirachta indica), and yellow and red came from turmeric (Curcuma longa), Rajamathi explains. A popular spice, turmeric is bright yellow at neutral pH thanks to the molecule curcumin. When treated with a base, such as calcium hydroxide (also known as lime), curcumin turns red. Other plant-based colors, used either as pastes, as powders, or in water, included henna leaves as another shade of green; marigolds or chrysanthemums as yellow; flame of the forest (Butea monosperma), pomegranate, or red sandalwood as red; indigo as blue; and charcoal as black.

It takes two: John Stamos and wife Caitlin McHugh also enjoyed a night on the town, looking loved up on the red carpet

A chunk of the mineral malachite, used to make the pigment Malachite Green, sits beneath a portrait of Mark Rothko taken by Herbert Matter and borrowed from the New York Public Library’s picture collection. The red spectrum is a reference to Rothko’s Harvard murals, in which the Lithol Red has faded.

PolyOne’s SEM unit also has seen strong demand outside of automotive for our thermoplastic composite technology, primarily in marine, trucking and off-road vehicles, according to Garratt.

Barrett noted that his team’s results, combined with previous experiments, "present a puzzle" for theorists trying to understand how time crystals form.

Many of the individual items were must-haves, such as a pair of slightly flared burgundy pants that were made of criss-crossed bands of material.

Some recent academic and popular literature implies that the problem of the colonization of the Americas has been largely resolved in favor of one specific model: a Pacific coastal migration, dependent on high marine productivity, from the Bering Strait to South America, thousands of years before Clovis, the earliest widespread cultural manifestation south of the glacial ice. Speculations on maritime adaptations and typological links (stemmed points) across thousands of kilometers have also been advanced. A review of the current genetic, archeological, and paleoecological evidence indicates that ancestral Native American population expansion occurred after 16,000 years ago, consistent with the archeological record, particularly with the earliest securely dated sites after ~15,000 years ago. These data are largely consistent with either an inland (ice-free corridor) or Pacific coastal routes (or both), but neither can be rejected at present. Systematic archeological and paleoecological investigations, informed by geomorphology, are required to test each hypothesis.

Violet is my daughter’s cat but I haven’t told her what has happened. She doesn’t really know much about it.
