A man came across Aladdin’s Lamp and rubbed it. Out pops a Genie, “I shall grant you one wish for releasing me from the lamp.”
“How nice”, says the man, “I would like you to build me a highway all the way to Hawaii.”
“That’s quite an undertaking. I don’t know if I can do that. Would you like to change your wish?” says the Genie.
“Alright then”, the man paused, “In that case, I would like to be able to fully understand women.”
“Women you say?” the Genie frown, “Say.. about your previous wish, will that be two lanes or four lanes?”
NASA’s Solar Terrestrial Relations Observatory (STEREO) spacecraft has spotted the first major activity of the new solar cycle. On May 5 STEREO-B observed a Type II radio burst and a bright, fast coronal mass ejection (CME) emanating from the far side of the sun. The activity originated in a solar active region that rotated into view from Earth on May 8.
The active region appears well above the sun’s equator, at about 30 degrees latitude, which indicates it is part of the new solar cycle. Activity from the previous solar cycle would appear nearer to the sun’s equator. These regions also have a distinct magnetic organization characteristic of new cycle regions.
“In this world, there are three types of swindlers, those who defraud other people’s money, shirosagi (white swindler); those who deceive others by manipulating their feelings, akasagi (red swindler); and those who only target the white and red swindlers, a swindler of swindlers, kurosagi (black swindler).”
