Flight Day 9 :

SF作家アーサー・C・クラーク死去 90歳
3月19日未明、呼吸不全によりスリランカの病院で

私が2005年3月に最後に会ったとき、クラーク氏の記憶は既に衰えかけていた。クラーク氏は、その2ヵ月前に私と再会したとき、私のことも憶えていなかった。同氏と私は35年間にわたって友人関係にあったのだが、
"私はクラーク氏に、宇宙学好きが縁で知り合ったダライ・ラマを紹介することによって、その恩返しをすることができた"
「軌道で特許を取ることはできない」と冷ややかに返してきた。「私が通信衛星の特許を取得しなかった唯一の理由は、衛星の作り方を知らなかったからだ。私がもう少し利口だったら、兆単位の金が入っていただろう」とクラーク

"China has sent a large number of soldiers and paratroopers to Tibet after the violent protests in Lhasa. This army convoy was on G318, the main road into Tibet from Sichuan province"
On Wednesday alone, BBC reporters saw more than 400 troop carriers and other vehicles on the main road. The mobilisation is the biggest since the unrest began in Lhasa on 10 March.

"The glowing spots on Jupiter are typically located downstream of the flow of charged particles from the plasma torus. Now a team of planetologists unexpectedly found auroras occurring upstream of this flow.
The researchers think interactions between Io and Jupiter cause electrons to curve from one hemisphere of the planet around the moon to the other hemisphere, creating these unexpected spots, Bonfond told SPACE.com."

"None of us can enter Tibet, which is off limits to foreign reporters without a permit. I know of only one foreign journalist, James Miles of The Economist, who had the good fortune to be in Lhasa as events unfolded over the past few days.
We foreign reporters all take precautions. We have to switch vehicles often. Some of us swap out SIM cards in our mobile phones, or just turn them off. That way, authorities cannot triangulate mobile phone signals and figure out our locations.
None of us are doing anything illegal. It’s just that it’s very easy for officials in the hinterlands to stop us and ask endless questions, creating delays, or simply bar us from entering areas for unspecified security reasons."

Accounts from Lhasa and beyond | BBC NEWS
"A Chinese businessman who wishes to remain anonymous described the scene in Lhasa on Monday.
We walked down the Beijing East Road and saw for the first time the destruction of the riot.
Most of the Chinese and Hui Muslim places were targeted, many Hui Muslim beef shops were burnt, also stationery shops, banks, a wholesale market at Tsomtsikhang (one of the most important Tibetan markets, where many shops are owned by Chinese and Hui Muslims). "

State TV switches to non-stop footage of Chinese under attack
Employees at the state television service CCTV's English service were instructed to keep broadcasting footage of burned-out shops and Chinese wounded in attacks. No peaceful demonstrators were shown.
Qiangba Puncog, the region's governor, gave a lengthy press conference attacking some Western coverage as "ridiculous" and offering graphic details of attacks on Han Chinese and Hui Muslims.

"None of us can enter Tibet, which is off limits to foreign reporters without a permit. I know of only one foreign journalist, James Miles of The Economist, who had the good fortune to be in Lhasa as events unfolded over the past few days.
We foreign reporters all take precautions. We have to switch vehicles often. Some of us swap out SIM cards in our mobile phones, or just turn them off. That way, authorities cannot triangulate mobile phone signals and figure out our locations.
None of us are doing anything illegal. It’s just that it’s very easy for officials in the hinterlands to stop us and ask endless questions, creating delays, or simply bar us from entering areas for unspecified security reasons."

SF作家アーサー・C・クラーク死去 90歳
3月19日未明、呼吸不全によりスリランカの病院で

私が2005年3月に最後に会ったとき、クラーク氏の記憶は既に衰えかけていた。クラーク氏は、その2ヵ月前に私と再会したとき、私のことも憶えていなかった。同氏と私は35年間にわたって友人関係にあったのだが、
"私はクラーク氏に、宇宙学好きが縁で知り合ったダライ・ラマを紹介することによって、その恩返しをすることができた"
「軌道で特許を取ることはできない」と冷ややかに返してきた。「私が通信衛星の特許を取得しなかった唯一の理由は、衛星の作り方を知らなかったからだ。私がもう少し利口だったら、兆単位の金が入っていただろう」とクラーク

On Wednesday alone, BBC reporters saw more than 400 troop carriers and other vehicles on the main road. The mobilisation is the biggest since the unrest began in Lhasa on 10 March.

SPACE.com -- Io Creates Spots on Jupiter
"The glowing spots on Jupiter are typically located downstream of the flow of charged particles from the plasma torus. Now a team of planetologists unexpectedly found auroras occurring upstream of this flow.
The researchers think interactions between Io and Jupiter cause electrons to curve from one hemisphere of the planet around the moon to the other hemisphere, creating these unexpected spots, Bonfond told SPACE.com."

SPACE.com -- Io Creates Spots on Jupiter
"The glowing spots on Jupiter are typically located downstream of the flow of charged particles from the plasma torus. Now a team of planetologists unexpectedly found auroras occurring upstream of this flow.
The researchers think interactions between Io and Jupiter cause electrons to curve from one hemisphere of the planet around the moon to the other hemisphere, creating these unexpected spots, Bonfond told SPACE.com."

Blog: China Rises
"None of us can enter Tibet, which is off limits to foreign reporters without a permit. I know of only one foreign journalist, James Miles of The Economist, who had the good fortune to be in Lhasa as events unfolded over the past few days.
We foreign reporters all take precautions. We have to switch vehicles often. Some of us swap out SIM cards in our mobile phones, or just turn them off. That way, authorities cannot triangulate mobile phone signals and figure out our locations.
None of us are doing anything illegal. It’s just that it’s very easy for officials in the hinterlands to stop us and ask endless questions, creating delays, or simply bar us from entering areas for unspecified security reasons."

Images and News of Tibet Riots Seep Onto Web, Despite Chinese Authorities' Clampdown | Threat Level from Wired.com
"The Chinese authorities have, predictably, blocked access to YouTube within China. And they've also been able to selectively block television news reports of the events in the Tibetan Capital of Lhasa. "

Accounts from Lhasa and beyond | BBC NEWS
"A Chinese businessman who wishes to remain anonymous described the scene in Lhasa on Monday.
We walked down the Beijing East Road and saw for the first time the destruction of the riot.
Most of the Chinese and Hui Muslim places were targeted, many Hui Muslim beef shops were burnt, also stationery shops, banks, a wholesale market at Tsomtsikhang (one of the most important Tibetan markets, where many shops are owned by Chinese and Hui Muslims). "

State TV switches to non-stop footage of Chinese under attack
Employees at the state television service CCTV's English service were instructed to keep broadcasting footage of burned-out shops and Chinese wounded in attacks. No peaceful demonstrators were shown.
Qiangba Puncog, the region's governor, gave a lengthy press conference attacking some Western coverage as "ridiculous" and offering graphic details of attacks on Han Chinese and Hui Muslims.

SF作家アーサー・C・クラーク死去 90歳
3月19日未明、呼吸不全によりスリランカの病院で

私が2005年3月に最後に会ったとき、クラーク氏の記憶は既に衰えかけていた。クラーク氏は、その2ヵ月前に私と再会したとき、私のことも憶えていなかった。同氏と私は35年間にわたって友人関係にあったのだが、
"私はクラーク氏に、宇宙学好きが縁で知り合ったダライ・ラマを紹介することによって、その恩返しをすることができた"
「軌道で特許を取ることはできない」と冷ややかに返してきた。「私が通信衛星の特許を取得しなかった唯一の理由は、衛星の作り方を知らなかったからだ。私がもう少し利口だったら、兆単位の金が入っていただろう」とクラーク
