![]() He did a research project with Linus Pauling as an undergraduate and received his Bachelor of Science degree in 1928 and his Master of Science degree in 1929, writing an unpublished thesis on "An improved method for the determination of the radium content of rocks". Ĭalifornia Institute of Technology (Caltech) was only a mile from his home, and he attended some public lectures there. On October 18, 1908, the family moved to Pasadena, California, where he attended McKinley Elementary School from 1913 to 1918, Grant School from 1918 to 1920, and then Pasadena High School, from which he graduated in 1924. McMillan's father was a physician, as was his father's twin brother, and three of his mother's brothers. He had a younger sister, Catherine Helen, whose son John Clauser (that is, McMillan's nephew) won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2022. McMillan was born in Redondo Beach, California, on September 18, 1907, the son of Edwin Harbaugh McMillan and his wife Anna Marie McMillan née Mattison. He became director on the death of lab founder Ernest Lawrence later that year, and he stayed in that position until his retirement in 1973. He was appointed associate director of the Radiation Laboratory in 1954, and promoted to deputy director in 1958. McMillan co-invented the synchrotron with Vladimir Veksler, and after the war he returned to the Berkeley Radiation Laboratory to build them. He led teams working on the gun-type nuclear weapon design, and also participated in the development of the successful implosion-type nuclear weapon. In 1942 he joined the Manhattan Project, the wartime effort to create atomic bombs, and he helped establish the project's Los Alamos Laboratory where the bombs were designed. During World War II, he first worked on microwave radar at the MIT Radiation Laboratory, and on sonar at the Navy Radio and Sound Laboratory. For this, he shared the 1951 Nobel Prize in Chemistry with Glenn Seaborg.Ī graduate of California Institute of Technology, he earned his doctorate from Princeton University in 1933, and joined the Berkeley Radiation Laboratory, where he discovered oxygen-15 and beryllium-10.

The good news is that Google Chrome 114 will follow the dark mode spec, thus rendering both chrome:// pages and websites (if they support it) dark, in addition to window chrome. Light remains the default when loading other websites that otherwise follow dark mode preference on other operating systems, such as YouTube, Wikipedia, and this blog as of last week (sorry that took so long □). This will enable you to choose the tone for the Windows system and apps separately. Any content you create in OneNote while in Dark Mode will be equally as legible to other notebook co-authors, who may be viewing the same pages in Light Mode. In the Appearance section, click Dark to activate Dark mode.

![]() A power level of 20 or more is usually adequate to produce auroras visible to the naked eye. The higher the number, the more charged particles are depositing in the upper atmosphere. This process transfers their kinetic energy to the upper atmosphere. It measures the rate of deposition of charged particles (mainly electrons and protons) into the atmosphere, where they collide with upper atmosphere particles and eventually stop. Hemispheric Power is a measure of auroral activity that helps determine how bright and active auroras might be. We do not provide the Kp level for a forecast period outside of nominal viewing times (i.e., local daytime). For the Kp index indicated in the Anchorage northern lights forecast, that is the maximum Kp predicted during the prime aurora viewing time in the Anchorage area (generally between 9:00 p.m. A fairly accurate Kp index can be determined up to 3-days in advance. Anchorage is within the Kp3 zone (aurora visible overhead), but auroras are often seen here on the horizon as low as Kp1 (except for the early and late season, where a higher Kp is needed due to bright twilight). The Planetary K-Index is measured on a scale of 0-9. The most important factors for aurora viewing are the solar winds and geomagnetic field – so note the information above on those. ![]() It does not indicate whether the aurora borealis will appear.

Digital Replica Edition Home Page Close Menu ![]() ![]() Second, the album’s dark tone and lyrical complexity was not as appreciated by many in the mainstream Christian market, who loved the explicitly Christian imagery of the first album’s non-Flood singles and who made the band’s Love Song for a Savior into a perennial Christian radio hit for years afterward. First, by the time the album dropped, many non-Christian listeners who thought Flood was a jam had figured out that Jars was a Christian band and thus had lost interest. ![]() If I can speculate for a moment, I’d guess that the decline in sales was based on a couple of factors. Buoyed by the anticipation for new music, the album debuted well but didn’t have as much staying power (though enough to go platinum and earn the group a Grammy for Best Pop/Contemporary Gospel Album). After the smashing success of the first record, Jars returned two years later with Much Afraid, a brooding, cerebral album of alternative work that felt very far removed from the jangly, vertically-oriented folk-rock of the self-titled. Since we won’t be getting to any tracks from Jars’ excellent second album for a while, now seems as good a time as any to continue our history lesson. Out of My HandsĪ late-period mid-tempo contribution to a benefit album for children rescued from sex trafficking. They’d pick up that maturity - and, thankfully, real drummers - as their career continued. This song, which describes child abuse with such unadorned lyrics as “Daddy, don’t you love me/Then why do you hit me?” is a perfect example of the band members meaning well but not quite being up to the task they set out for themselves. The drums almost universally sound thin, and while there are definitely some standout tracks, the band was not yet near the musical and lyrical heights they’d achieve over time. Though many diehard fans still acclaim the first album as the band’s best, I consider it one of the group’s weakest efforts. A 90s folk-rocker with strings, Gregorian chants and programmed drums (the band’s core lineup has remained constant for the entirety of their recording career, with no permanent bassist or drummer), it caught the zeitgeist at the exact right time, going multiplatinum off the strength of its lead single, Flood - a song which had the benefit of not being explicitly Christian, and thus more eligible for crossover success. Though Jars of Clay’s ultimate commercial decline came as Christian listeners slowly deserted them (and then a bunch more left all at once, but we’ll get to that), it’s hard to imagine they’d ever have been able to recapture the financial success of their self-titled debut album. If you’re new to Jars, I would call basically any song in the top 40 of this list a five-star absolute banger, the perfect fodder for an introductory playlist to some of the band’s best work. If you are a pre-existing Jars fan, feel free to be happy/disappointed/mad at where your favorite songs end up, and remember that the distinction between, say, song 85 and song 90 is completely arbitrary and also very small. I beg your pardon in advance for anything I may have missed, and thank you to the kind folks in the Jarchives fan group for contributing additional information to some of the following entries.įinally, this list uses no system other than my own preference, though I will give you some reasons for the rankings as I go, as well as providing a brief overview of the band’s history throughout. I did a lot of research for this and pulled from my extensive pool of knowledge of the band’s history, but I am an amateur music writer at best, and it’s possible there were gaps in my understanding that I could not see. It’s possible I may have gotten a few credits or instruments wrong here or there. If I liked a particular rerecording the best, I will tell you so (if there’s no notation, assume it was the original version). Jars was a band that liked to issue multiple versions of the same song, but every song is only on the list once, ranked by whichever version I think is the best. That means that bootlegs or Youtube clips don’t count the band had to release it for sale, as a giveaway, etc. The following list is, as best I can tell, every Jars of Clay song that has been released publicly in some sort of an official format (with potentially a few ultra-rare exceptions I wasn’t able to track down). Read my previous post for a little about why I find doing this worthwhile, and then read on for a couple of ground rules. As promised in part one of my Jars of Clay piece, I’m back to do a comprehensive, worst to best ranking of every one of the band’s songs. ![]() Klarna Bank AB (publ) is the lender and we act only as the introducer.

![]() I find it hard to imagine that there’s no demand to use Firefox. “If we get customer demand for it we will support Firefox,” Jacobson says. WebDirect works with the Chrome, Safari and Internet Explorer, but not Firefox. But, he adds, “We are trying to streamline the code so it will work better on smaller devices.” “Mobile devices don’t have the same horsepower, and when you have the additional layer of running a browser, to get performance you need more power,” Jacobson explains.
