Technically there were challenges to overcome, such as the suppression of spectral dispersion and elimination of zero order from the lamp. In terms of manufacturing, a process for high fidelity mass replication from holographic masters had to be realized as well. The resulting manufactured holographic material would also need to be affordable, durable and last up to 20 years in the field. Such technical and environmental challenges have not traditionally been a concern for material produced within the mass production arm of the existing holographic industry.

True strength comes from true conviction. True strength is to do what you believe is right, no matter what others think. True strength is the willingness to go to any extent, make any sacrifice to defend what you believe is right. There are numerous instances when Gandhiji has shown this strength. I think the bravest decision Gandhiji ever took, and probably the most difficult one, was to call off the non cooperation movement after the Chauri Chora tragedy. This was a point in history, when many felt that we were just inches away from independence and Gandhiji’s decision pushed away the victory for many years. He was heavily criticized, even by his close associates. But he struck to what he believed was right, irrespective of the consequences.
Another attribute which I admire a lot in Gandhiji was his ability to overcome hatred and anger and forgive people, even love them. As he said, “The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong”, forgiving and letting go is one of the most difficult things to do, and requires a lot of strength and courage.
The following quote by Albert Einstein nicely summarizes what I feel for this great man –
“Generations to come will scarce believe that such a one as this walked the earth in flesh and blood”
PS: Just finished watching Gandhi by Richard Attenborough starring Ben Kingsley. A truly powerful piece of cinema.

“According to the Forest Code of Armenia, woods of Armenia are considered to be protective forests for soil and water. The threat of desertification has never been as serious as it is now,” says Inga Zarafyan, head of Ecolur NGO. “It is also necessary ban business in this sphere.”
Environmentalists say that authorities argue with them, reasoning in case the moratorium is applied, it would burden socially vulnerable population living near forestland.
According to official data, forestland in Armenia covers 334,100 hectares which is 11-12 percent of the whole territory of Armenia. Zarafyan says this figure is the one known yet in 1992.
“The American University of Armenia held a research [from the satellite] in 2006, the results of which showed that the forestland in Armenia covers 7-8 percent,” Zarafyan says.
She says villagers tell how many trees are logged in which part of a forest, they recall how the logged wood is taken out of the forest by vehicles, how they are not allowed to enter those territories.
“It is clear that it is necessary to ban, but it is also necessary to take into consideration the fact that there are some regions with no gas supply, and people cannot get warm burning manure all the time. Maybe there should be sanitarian loggings, providing people with that wood,” says ethnographer Hranush Kharatyan, who held researches with "Hazarashen" Socio-Ethnological Researches Center among residents living near forestland.
Environmentalists also suggest that gas tariffs should be decreased for the population residing near forestland, because one of the reasons why loggings are increased is high gas tariffs.Bristol Bay Alaska: An Model For Sustainable Fishing
The Salmon Run of Bristol Bay
I waited patiently in the small office of the Leader Creek Fishery for the next supply boat out to the Bristol Bay Commercial Salmon Fishing Fleet. I recalled the long flight from New York City to Seattle, Seattle to Anchorage, and finally another jumper flight to the small city of Naknek, Alaska. There's no roads to Naknek. During the annual Bristol Bay Salmon Run, however, you wouldn't know it. This sleepy little city, with no more than 3 bars, fills up like an old gold mining city. Young rookies sit around wide eyed and nervous while the experienced fisherman catch their last beer and decent meal before departing to sea for their share of Alaska's prized sockeye salmon.
MY FIRST DAY
Day 1: The seas turned a little rough.
I won't ever forget it. Large boats called Tenders bring supplies to fleets far out into the ocean. I crawled on board, and found an open bunk to sleep during the 9 hour trip to the fleet. I awoke up the next day and the sea had taken a turn for the worst. 30 foot waves and 45mph winds were battering down on us. Not knowing if I get sea-sick or not, I braced for the worst.
The boat I was assigned to picked me and off we went. I was given the appropriate gear to keep me dry and a small tool with a nail on the end. My job was to lift the salmon from off the bottom of the boat with one arm, with the other I was to bleed the salmon by slicing a vein inside their gills. After, I'd throw the salmon into the hold and repeat this hundred or so times with every cast of the net.
Sea sickness? It turns out I was the only rookie to not throw up on the first day. The relentless wind and waves only fed my enthusiasm of working in the wide open sea. I was given the thumbs up by my crew and, after a lot of uncertainty in my head, I turned out to be a fine Alaskan commercial salmon fisherman. It was one of the most exhilarating days of my life.
Quality Control
In order to ensure the finest quality salmon, our fleet requires us to bleed immediately after catching them to drain the bacteria-fostering blood before being processed. Below is the tool I used to slice the salmon's jugular vein within their gill.
The tool I'd use to slit the salmon's vein.

Life on the Boat
I was on the water for a total of 13 days, but the rest of my crew stays out for months. I respect what these guys do. They work hard and the reward is a good paycheck, good camaraderie, and an office with one hell of a view. What an amazing experience.

About Bristol Bay and Sustainability
The Bristol Bay salmon economy clears over $1.5B a year. It's because of the wonderful efforts of federal and state employees, as well as the fishermen who fish it that make Bristol Bay a sustainable ecosystem. As wild salmon runs disappear from the planet, Bristol Bay remains a proud example of how, when properly respected and maintained, a fishery can remain incredible place of significance for both the salmon and people it supports. Let's hope it stays this way in the future.GORGEOUS setting...on the water and we were lucky enough to sit outside and see the sun set over the river. Had snow crab clusters and corn on the cob...FRESH and delicious...heaven! The fryers are NOT separate but we very much appreciated our waitress checking for us and being so helpful despite the fact that she was SUPER busy due to an unexpected busload of people! She even got to chef to toast our son's GF bread on the grill in the Toast-A-Bag we brought. He had a burger and loved it!!! Everything was delicious and reasonably priced. Our server Sabrina HUSTLED, and was nothing but sweet, super helpful, and professional! A phenomenal meal...if I could post a pic of the gorgeous sunset we got to see, I would.
