... blue moon... For half a century, it's been known as the second full moon in a month... But that's wrong... The magazine [Sky & Telescope] incorrectly defined the term 53 years ago. James Hugh Pruett wrote a 1946 piece for the magazine after apparently misinterpreting a complex 1937 article in the Maine Farmer's Almanac that essentially, but not clearly, said a blue moon occurs when a season has four full moons, rather than the usual three. Pruett mistakenly thought it meant having a second full moon within the same month. Pruett's mistake went unnoticed for decades.... Although Sky & Telescope's editors think Pruett's mistake led to the popular modern mis-definition of "blue moon, "it's unclear where the Maine Farmer's Almanac came up with the rule. The almanac is defunct. Pruett died in 1955.... By either definition--Pruett's or the almanac' s--blue moons occur about every two or three years... Although purists may subscribe to the almanac' s point of view, Sinnott thinks Pruett's error will prevail. 5, record 1, English, - blue%20moon

When a month has two full moons the second is known as a "blue" moon, though it only rarely has a blue tint that unusual atmospheric conditions can supply. Occasionally the moon takes on unusual colors, but most often it tends to be reddish, reports Guy Ottewell of Furman University in Greenville, South Carolina. 6, record 1, English, - blue%20moon

Officially opened June 30th 1968, the ’Tower’ has become the City of Calgary's most famous and identifiable landmark. One of the first Towers of its kind, the Calgary Tower offers the best view in Calgary and is a must on any tourist's itinerary. Throughout the 1988 Winter Olympic Games, a flame burned at the top of the Tower, making the Calgary Tower the World's Largest Olympic Torch. 1, record 2, English, - Calgary%20Tower

Should architecture obey, deny or subvert the logic of "the plan"? This question has continued to haunt the theory, polemics and practice of architecture throughout the latter half of the twentieth century. It is a simmple question, yet one which can be considered at many levels and from many points of view, challenging the established professional boundaries of the architect, the role of the official urban planner and forcing an investigation of the scope of the lay consumers's of architecture to seize control of the forces which manipulate the design and construction of the buildings and cities around them. 1, record 4, English, - official%20urban%20planner

L'arrivée inattendue de Le Corbusier, appelé à la rescousse par son ami, l'industriel déodatien Jean-Jacques Duval, va bouleverser la donne. Alors qu'il suscite l'enthousiasme des tenants du Mouvement Moderne, le plan du maître fait l'effet d'une véritable bombe dans un microcosme déodatien déjà effarouché par les audaces de Jacques André. 2, record 4, French, - urbaniste%20officiel

One of the most important new designs in the field of laser scanning microscopy is Bio-Rad's new multiphoton microscope. The primary benefit of multiphoton or two-photon microscopy is that it can penetrate much deeper into tissue samples, permitting an unobstructed view of cells such as neurons. The way it accomplishes this feat involves an unusual characteristic of light. When two photons hit a fluorophor simultaneously, it's as if one photon of half the wavelength excited the targeted fluorophor. If two photons of infrared light are directed at a particular sample, they will penetrate to a depth of several millimeters and then combine in the focal plane where the photons are most concentrated, reacting as if one photon of blue light hit the sample. The result is a deep tissue image of superior resolution. Although confocal and multiphoton techniques are generally considered to be overlapping technologies, some enthusiastic supporters consider the multiphoton technique a replacement for confocal microscopy. 1, record 9, English, - multiphoton%20microscopy

Liability to capture. It was Lord Stowell who introduced in prize law the rule that forfeiture of the neutral vessel can only follow upon proof of knowledge by the shipowner of the contraband nature of the cargo. The true test of liability to capture was, in Lord Stowell' s view, the state of mind of the neutral claimant :... The Declaration of London elected to rest the principle of confiscation not on the knowledge of the owner, but on the relative proportion of contraband to the whole cargo. The ship is involved in all cases where she carries contraband goods which either in value, weight, quantity or freight exceed half of the whole cargo... 1, record 12, English, - liability%20to%20capture
