Bob Mover
Posted by Kimberly Thursday, October 23, 2008Mover, Bob (Robert) (born March 22, 1952, Boston, Massachusetts) is an alto, tenor and soprano jazz saxophonist and a vocalist. His father was a musician who played professionally including stints with the Charlie Spivak orchestra. He started playing the alto saxophone at age 13, studied with Phil Woods at a summer music camp, and took private lessons with Ira Sullivan.o In 1973, at the age of 21, Mover was a sideman for Charles Mingus for a five-month period at New York City’s 5 Spot Café. By 1975 Mover was working regularly in New York City jazz clubs with Chet Baker and he made his first European appearances with Baker at La Grande Parade du Jazz in (Nice, France), Jazz Festival Laren (Holland), and the Middleheim Jazz Festival (Antwerp, Belgium).

unmoved mover
Posted by Kimberly Monday, October 20, 2008The unmoved mover is a philosophical concept described by Aristotle as the first cause that sets the universe into motion. As is implicit in the name, the "unmoved mover" is not moved by any prior action. In his book Metaphysics, Aristotle describes the unmoved mover as being perfectly beautiful, indivisible, and contemplating only the perfect contemplation: itself contemplating. The Unmoved Mover is also referred to as the Prime Mover.
Speed limit signs
Posted by Kimberly Thursday, October 16, 2008The END (speed limit) AREA sign indicates you are leaving the area covered by the area speed limit and re-entering a general speed limit area.
The (speed limit) AREA sign indicates the speed limit within the area you are about to enter.
The END (speed limit) sign is used at the start point of a section of road covered by the general default speed limit outside a built-up area, where it is not practical or desirable to indicate the speed limit by means of a speed restriction sign. The use of this sign is the exception rather than the rule.
You must not drive faster than the km/h speed shown in the circle. In poor conditions it is safer to drive slower than the speed limit
Some speed limit signs show times or days that the limit applies, e.g. in school zones. Other variable speed limit signs have a changeable electronic display to show the current speed limit, e.g. around sports venues. These variable speed limit signs may have different colours to the normal speed restriction sign.
Give way to pedestrians and do not drive faster than the km/h speed shown in the circle between this sign and the next END SHARED ZONE sign.
You have reached the end of a shared zone, the previous speed limit no longer applies and you are no longer required to give way to pedestrians.

Transport Minister looks into Shipping License Policy
Posted by Kimberly Monday, October 6, 2008The Office of the Minister for Transport, Works and Energy has been tasked by Cabinet to look into the conditions of shipping licensing system says Interim Minister, Manu Korovulavula. He revealed to the Department of Information that he has been tasked to look at and introduce a shipping route licensing system for ships in Fiji.
“Now my office is looking at the conditions and by the end of this month I will be issuing a policy on shipping licensing system. “Now I have tasked to look at and introduce the shipping route licensing system for ships in Fiji. Cabinet has now directed me to look at the viability of this operation whether it should be allowed or not,” he said.
Mr Korovulavula said the advantage of having a shipping routes system is that once a license is given to a ship or a shipping company the other ships cannot be allowed to encroach into that area or routes.
“ So it helps the license holder and gives it a secure investment and could help the shipping company get bank finance or refinancing. “ The bank will recognise the license as collateral. The current practice at the moment does not allow them any collateral because it is a one-year deal.”
Mr Korovulavula said this is not only at the local shipping service and they already had a meeting with the tourist operators in the west and the shipping operations for the tourist in the Yasawas and the Malolo and Mamanuca area which have a different kind of service.
“ Example their business is to transfer people or guests from one island to another and these are tourists and some locals as well. “ Another one is big fishing game which they go out fishing and underwater diving and surfing. These other things and I am very happy to say their support is very good,” he said.
Mr Korovulavula said the island people rely heavily on the ships service on the island which was why Government was seriously considering it.
“Because of the importance of that service government is looking at very seriously at it and trying its best to implement a system, a method and look at financing as well if ways to improve the service to the people in the island.
“Year by year there is no guarantee that that will continue so that is another disadvantage. Now I am looking at the franchise area shipping area where improvements can be made and that is the stand of the government at the moment as far as the shipping services is concerned.”
Speed of light
Posted by Kimberly Wednesday, October 1, 2008The speed of light in a vacuum is presently defined to be exactly 299,792,458 m/s (about 186,282.397 miles per second). This definition of the speed of light means that the metre is now defined in terms of the speed of light. The speed of light depends upon the nature of the medium in which it is traveling. Its speed is lower in a transparent substance than in a vacuum.
Different physicists have attempted to measure the speed of light throughout history. Galileo attempted to measure the speed of light in the seventeenth century. An early experiment to measure the speed of light was conducted by Ole Rømer, a Danish physicist, in 1676. Using a telescope, Ole observed the motions of Jupiter and one of its moons, Io. Noting discrepancies in the apparent period of Io's orbit, Rømer calculated that light takes about 22 minutes to traverse the diameter of Earth's orbit[2]. Unfortunately, this was not a value that was known at that time. If Ole had known the diameter of the Earth's orbit, he would have calculated a speed of 227,000,000 m/s.
Another, more accurate, measurement of the speed of light was performed in Europe by Hippolyte Fizeau in 1849. Fizeau directed a beam of light at a mirror several kilometers away. A rotating cog wheel was placed in the path of the light beam as it traveled from the source, to the mirror and then returned to its origin. Fizeau found that at a certain rate of rotation, the beam would pass through one gap in the wheel on the way out and the next gap on the way back. Knowing the distance to the mirror, the number of teeth on the wheel, and the rate of rotation, Fizeau was able to calculate the speed of light as 313,000,000 m/s.
Léon Foucault used an experiment which used rotating mirrors to obtain a value of 298,000,000 m/s in 1862. Albert A. Michelson conducted experiments on the speed of light from 1877 until his death in 1931. He refined Foucault's methods in 1926 using improved rotating mirrors to measure the time it took light to make a round trip from Mt. Wilson to Mt. San Antonio in California. The precise measurements yielded a speed of 299,796,000 m/s.
Two independent teams of physicists were able to bring light to a complete standstill by passing it through a Bose-Einstein Condensate of the element rubidium, one led by Dr. Lene Vestergaard Hau of Harvard University and the Rowland Institute for Science in Cambridge, Mass., and the other by Dr. Ronald L. Walsworth and Dr. Mikhail D. Lukin of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, also in Cambridge.
