“The books of the great scientists are
gathering dust on the shelves of learned libraries. And rightly so. The
scientist addresses an infinitesimal audience of fellow composers. His message
is not devoid of universality but its universality is disembodied and
anonymous. While the artist's communication is linked forever with its original
form, that of the scientist is modified, amplified, fused with the ideas and
results of others and melts into the stream of knowledge and ideas which forms
our culture. The scientist has in common with the artist only this: that he can
find no better retreat from the world than his work and also no stronger link
with the world than his work.”– Max Delbruck (9/4/1906 – 3/9/1981)
Max
Delbrück (9/4/1906 – 3/9/1981)
A German–American
biophysicist, helped launch the molecular biology research program in the late
1930s. He stimulated physical scientists' interest into biology, especially as
to basic research to physically explain genes, mysterious at the time. Formed
in 1945 and led by Delbrück along with Salvador Luria and Alfred Hershey, the
Phage Group made substantial headway unraveling important aspects of genetics.
The three shared the 1969 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine "for their
discoveries concerning the replication mechanism and the genetic structure of
viruses". He was the first physicist to predict what is now called
Delbrück scattering.
Hurricane
Dorian
By
some luck and well placed high pressure zones, Hurricane Dorian appears to be
missing the USA and running parallel to the US east coast. The Bahamas were brutalized by the storm
basically holding stationary for 3 days just north of the main island with the Eye
wall hitting Grand Bahama Island and the town of Freeport. Take the time and examine the images. Mother Nature is frightening in the strength
and damage.
Newsies

Newspaper Carrier Day. Today

largest company in the world. Current

Snap Elections
Boris Johnson loses support for his No-Deal Brexit
plan, resulting in several MP’s to no longer support his push. Johnson responds in a childlike manner by
expelling the MP’s from his conservative party.
WOW! You are either with me 100%
or you are no longer a member of “My” party.
Amazing how the rise of populism has made it impossible to disagree with
someone.
Money
for the Wall
In
order to build the wall, the one Trump promised Mexico would pay for, Defense
Mark Esper approved the use of $3.6 Billion in funding from military
construction projects to build 175 miles of new wall. This is a bypass of Congressional power and
the use of money that was determined by Congress for one purpose to another
purpose. This is combined with the $600
million from Treasury and $2.5 Billion from DoD. How can the GOP stand silent when this man is
bypassing congress and it’s responsibility.
Please someone call this man out.
The
Sum Up
The A/C is still working!!!! The University of Texas versus LSU. Both teams won last weekend and are ranked #9
(UT) and #6(LSU) with only 3 days I am again
excited about the possibility that UT football is back.
That’s all for today sports fans.
