50: Solar Drink Fan

BHI Solar Powered Drink Fan™ for Evaporative Summer Cooling

BHI Solar Drink Fan™: (a.) Solar Collector,
(b.) Quiet Fan Unit, (c.) Universal Tumbler Clip

The BHI Solar Drink Fan™utilizes the power of evaporative cooling to bring relief during hot summertime days.  Users will enjoy the cooling breeze supplied by the powerful, yet compact solar powered clip-on fan that attaches to the rim of a typical Gin and Tonic or Ice Tea tumbler. Elemental Fire (Sun) supplies the power to evaporate the Water (Ice), resulting in Alchemical Cooling.

The small quiet fan unit generates a steady stream of air, and is equipped with a fine leeward mounted stainless steel screen mesh to prevent unsuspecting gnats and other small flying insects from being launched into the user's face.  The BHI Solar Drink Fan™ is the result of over a decade of applied research at the Leverett Dry Gin Distillery Research Lab in consultation with the adjacent BHI Center for Applied Solar Technology.

46: Pension Expansion Era

Emeriti Order and the Observable Pension Expansion Era

Pension Expansion Era began 1,676 years ago in 337 CE

It is now 13.8 billion years after the Big Bang (and counting), and during the last 1,676 years we have experienced the Observable Pension Expansion Era (OPEE). Since that fateful day in 337 CE (See above), the Emeriti Order has made significant contributions to the ongoing process of Pension Expansion, which is a central requirement of a Civil Society. Currently, Dark Energy Forces appear to be slowing the rate of Pension Expansion below the rate at which the Universe is expanding.

Pension Expansion Rate (Red Line) after 337 CE (diagram)
Note Significant Decrease in 1984 CE (Dark Energy Onset)
Source: BHI Center for Pension Enlargement Studies

The Pension Expansion Rate Deficit (PERD),  threatens to destabilize the Electro-Thermal Equilibrium, and Emeriti Scientists are developing new technologies to bring stability to this key aspect of the current Universe. The project is being pursued with a sense of urgency in light of the 1 to 5 billion year "Sunset Clause" that theoretically limits the viability of our Solar System.  Emeriti Space Scientists first observed the PERD phenomenon in 2003 CE and have subsequently charted the Pension Expansion history starting with Roman military practices up through the Post Industrial period, and found a drop off after 1984 CE (Randish Dark Energy Onset), and a significant decline after 2003 CE (See Diagram).  Both celestial and terrestrial factors are now being analyzed and a paper summarizing the findings is expected to be published in September of 2013 (After August Maine Vacation).  This is a timely subject for all inhabitants of the Universe, and Scientists at the BHI Center for Pension Enlargement Studies are striving to sustain Electro-Thermal Equilibrium and bring order to the Universe for the benefit of all kinds of humans and other organisms as well. "An unpensioned life is not worth living." (A. Schopenhauer, 1859)

44: The Symbol and the Cymbal

Symbolic Convergence and Unified Theory

The Circumpunct: An Ancient Symbol Representing
the Sun or Creative Energy Across Many Cultures

Symbols are "unknowable and imprecise." (Karl Jung, Man and His Symbols, 1964)

"A Symbol is an energy evoking and directing agent." (Joseph Campbell, The Symbol Without Meaning)

The Circumpunct is a cross-cultural symbol that evokes the Sun or Creative Energy representing heat, power and light.  It is even more evocative when lost. [See Dan Brown's, The Lost Symbol].

Emeriti Forensic Archeologists often ask the question, "How does the mysteriously Symbolic become Cymbalic?" This study offers a possible answer.

The Cymbal: A Magical Alloy That Harbors Sonic
Enchantment, Which Evokes the Energy of Its Creation.

The word Cymbal is derived from the Latin, "cymbalum," a form of the Greek, "kumbalon," or "cymbal."  The Cymbal is forged alchemically with heat and tempered to create a magical alloy capable of producing sustained sonic resonance when struck with a stick or mallet.  The Cymbal embodies heat and creative energy and mimics the Circumpunctal form.

Ginger Baker and His Cymbals: Utilizing "Energy Evoking
And Directing Agency [Cream: 1966]

Ginger Baker represents "Man and His Cymbals," especially while playing with Cream from 1966 to 1968, (just two years after Jung's book).  His drumming and his Cymbals were "energy evoking and directing agents," (especially during extended drum solos), thus satisfying Campbell's definition.  Ergo: "A Circumpunct is a Symbol, is a Cymbal." (G. Stein).

42: Big Bang Holiday

April 1st Marks the Bing Bang Moment and Examines the Uncommon Era Before Time (UE)

XDF image: Universe 450 Million Years After Big Bang

   

Diagram: Expansion of Universe after the Big Bang Moment
(Note: The Moment before time or the "Uncommon Era," UE) 

LEVERETT—April 1st. The Emeriti Space Science Lab (in collaboration with NASA), has developed a composite image showing some galaxies that are at least “13.2 billion years old,” or just “550 million years* (+/-)” after the Big Bang event that marked the beginning of time.  The Hubble telescope captured the Extreme Deep Field image (XDF).  Emeriti Space Scientists working in the BHI Space Module (See Copernicus Post), have been exploring MXDF (More Extreme Deep Field) images of the moments before time began, referred to as the Uncommon Era or "UE" to mark the moments if they are ever observed.  It is theorized that the Uncommon Era may be the source of strange ideas that seem to persist in the minds of modern humans; They are classified as: “Strange, Very Strange and Extremely Strange Ideas” (SI, VSI, ESI). The currently uncharted Uncommon Era may contain the seeds of modern Social Psychology and Congressional Oversight Hearings (used to hear complaints about lack of Oversight).

April 1^st is the most important Holiday in the Emeriti Year, (the second being the VernalEquinox).  It commemorates the Big Bang Moment that began the 13.8 billion* year march toward providing Pensions for superannuated scholars and it also represents the beginning of Particle Science Developmental Social Psychology as a field of study, at least for the Emeriti.  (*Recently revised figure).

41: Aaron Rockchild's Roots

Mason's Bench Stone in Aaron Rockchild's Zurich Garden

 "Kingsbridge, England 1174-- Dr. Webb tracked the group of Emeriti who migrated west from Thassos and entered the fictional 12th Century town of Kingsbridge in Ken Follet's novel, Pillars of the Earth. After studying the Emeriti Archives it appeared that Aaron Rockchild may in fact be a descendant of Merthin, (an architect and builder in the sequel novel, World Without End, and a descendant of Jack Builder and Lady Aliena, his forbearers in 'Pillars).  His family roots may account for his affinity for stones and stone masonry as evidenced by the large stone in his garden.

Wells Cathedral, a model for Follet's Kingsbridge Cathedral

The primary Emeriti goal was to establish pensions for scholars and it is speculated that sums of money were given to the King to help finance both Cambridge and Oxford, thus setting into motion a means to achieve their goal. Sara was fascinated by such a novel family history, which might explain how Aaron, who attended public school, was allowed to enter Cambridge to study Social History and Mathematics............"

38: BHI Petrified Sawdust Stones

BHI Alchemists Convert Sawdust Into Petrified Building Stones

Typical Cedar Sawdust Delivery at the BHI Sawdust Pile

The Garden Raised Beds™ operation in Chatham delivers an enormous amount of white cedar sawdust directly to the BHI Sawdust Recycling Center in Leverett.  Although the BHI Cellulosic Biofuels™Lab uses large quantities, the sawdust continues to accumulate.  BHI Alchemists viewed the Cedar Sawdust pile as an opportunity to transmute sawdust into building stone that resembles native Goshen Stone (mica schist), by employing a proprietary petrification process.

BHI Petrified Cedar Sawdust Stone Resembling Mica Schist

BHI Sawdust Schist™
BHI Alchemists employed mineralized water, sodium silicate and a diluted acid to transform sawdust particles into a stone like substance by compressing the mixture into various stone form trays. The results yielded a building product that resembles mica schist as indicated in the test wall photo. Now, instead of waiting 400 million years for new stone, wall builders can call the Leverett BHI Sawdust Schist™ fulfillment  center.

35: Masons of Kingsbridge

Sara Tracks Aaron's Emeriti Roots: The 12th Century Stone Masons of Kingsbridge England

Rock Transformation: From Stone to a Wall for the Ages

"The stonemasons were about to begin their mid-day break, leaving their tools amongst the flat split wall stones.  Aaron had been watching the stonemasons work while waiting for Dr. Webb to arrive for a luncheon meeting in the outdoor restaurant next door.  He remembered that as a child, he would watch intently as stonemasons manipulated rock piles to select the best stones for fitting into a wall they were building and today was no different.  He had been finding excuses to frequently check on the construction progress of a new children’s park along the eastern edge of Lake Zurich.  Sara was completing her review of Emeriti records at the International Headquarters and requested this meeting to discuss additional findings.  Although he served as Chief Archivist at the International Headquarters, he was haunted by his fascination with stone and the work of stone masons.

Sara finally arrived and apologized for being tardy, but before he could say a word, she asked, "Aaron, do you know the origin of the Rockchild name?"  (See "Living Among the Elements" Post)
