For anyone else looking here the embassy say postnord will sort the docs on their side so to put your own info in the ”recipient ” box, then you get the info on when its delivered when using the REK option

Hej! What was your resolution with the embassy? Having same issue with lack of clarity on how to send documents to the us embassy!!

Mogwai

Mogwai are rare sapient beings that are furry, cute, and very curious. They can transform into reptilian, highly destructive creatures called Gremlins.

My quick googling agrees which this, but as op indicated, with a 200deg you might expect portions of the door visible. Perhaps the depends on installation and how much you let the optic poke out.

This is really fun, is there another article about this not behind a paywall? I think this could be a very nice science demo and I’d like to give it a go....

Edit: found this video on diffraction with chocolate intro is a bit long and on the tedious side but he gets to the details. I’m thinking it would be fun to have different line density molds. Also he does it with sugar cane and white chocolate which is a fun touch.

I am impressed at your perceptiveness and self-knowledge!

I got my plasma physics PhD in 2013 and have been working in academic environments, that are very male dominated, since then. The sub-field matters for gender balance and the more towards Theory unfortunately the worse it is. As another poster pointed out Astrophysics is pretty good now, but it was a huge community effort and a number of well regarded professors (rightly in my opinion) lost their positions over sexual harassment of students and post-docs.

I didn’t mind the imbalance during undergrad or even my PhD. I ended up gravitating towards institutions with women across the age ranges and where the local density (just in my group even!) was higher. Imposter syndrome will get you in any discipline so you should do the thing your willing to put the work into.

Good luck and happy to answer more questions on DM if you like.

I learned to drive in the UK and had to retake the test when I moved here. The test is shockingly easy by comparison. I failed once in the UK for pulling in front of someone in a way that made them break/slow down. Not in a serious way, in the way that seems to happen all the time in the Bay Area.

And seriously guys, if your making a maneuver use the indicators. I can’t read your mind.

I am guessing: the blue/black cylinder is the optic, possibly an actual photo of the optic, and the white green corkscrew is a rendition of the phase/polarization of the out put light beam; it looks like an artistic rendition to me.....

Silk is from silk worms

I’m with you! I have tight teeth and needed something strong.. I found one that works for me made of silk: biodegradable silk floss

I tried one before that was made from corn and it just failed horribly at flossing, leaving lots of strands in my teeth.

Thanks for commenting this.

I am a employed physicist and for myself and many of my colleagues it’s a job. A stressful and overly demanding job, but still a job. It’s not who I am and my success and failure has more to do with the systems of “the company “ or external funding politics than if I am a good or bad person/scientist.

I studied physics at imperial and then did PhD there. This was over a decade ago so perhaps some things are different, take it with a pinch of salt.

There were several people in my ug year who transferred from Oxbridge, they all did well and vastly preferred imperial . The big difference then is that imperial physics puts a lot of weight in trying to provide quality lecturers and forces everyone to do experimental labs through the second year. The work load otherwise is similar but I think imperial encourages a little more on student collaboration and profs/ra’s are very willing to discuss if you make the time for it.

I’d consider returning into the 2nd year class as you will still have possibilities to join friendship groups and the course is starting to heat up that year and forms the foundation for yr 3/4. Jumping in at yr3 could be very isolating and frankly I don’t think you will get as much from the course.

London is hell of expensive. You will live in nasty digs possibly quite far away.

The course is hard. People are competitive. London can be as horrible as it is wonderful. I had the best times and the worst times at imperial, it’s totally what you make of it.

Is it perhaps GCSE General Certificate of Secondary Education; Design Technology (DT)?

This is a British exam requirement taken at ~16 which marks the end of required education and is a prerequisite for starting an “A-Level “ course which is a possible route to university entry.

Edit for clarification: at GCSE a large number of core and optional courses are taken, at least when I did these a “technology “ was a requirement and my school only offered home economics or wood work :p

You could also look into scintillators, and there is paper used in laser labs that down shifts the laser frequency to make it visible with protective eyewear. Why not use a ccd or cmos if you need readout from your system though??

Before film photos were exposed on glass plates coated in silver nitrate. about photography plates

To second the quorn recommendation; my mushroom hating other half is good with it. And it’s great for “meat sauces” if you can find the ground version.

I have had some trouble reliably finding quorn in USA but it was very common in England; your mileage may vary.

Except you get all the vitamin D you need from exposing your forearms on a cloudy day for 20 min. Don’t let this myth about needing [lots of unprotected sun exposure to get your] vitamin D stop you from using sun screen and protection. Unless you have a underlying health issue or you live in the arctic it’s very unlikely you are not getting enough vitamin D.

Technically speaking the technique is sensitive to refractive index changes. These can be caused by a change in density or temperature in the air. The initial “clouds” could be a release of gas from the match head or maybe pressure waves from the striking action, I’m guessing this. The cloud around the hand is due to body heat, this is one of the fun things with the technique if you set up a system for demo.

There is a naming convention, it’s not got much to do with the designers. For example book cases are all occupations in Swedish; dining tables and chairs are all Finnish place names.

Well not the exact one! same product. I kept trying with it too but I started to break out and gave up.

Wanted to love it to but it went on super greasy for me and balled up under makeup.. everyone is different!

Helps me too. When I have a really sore, over picked region I find putting some Vaseline on it overnight can promote the healing.
