59)	"Haemoglobin Lufkin: β29 (B11) Gly replaced by Asp. An unstable hemoglobin variant involving an internal amino acid residue." R.M. Schmidt, K.C. Bechtel, M.H. Johnson, B.L. Therrell, Jr. W.F. Moo-Penn, Hemoglobin Vol. 1, 799-814 (1977) Hemoglobin Lufkin was found in a Black-American family. Structural analysis of the abnormal hemoglobin indicates a substitution of aspartic acid for glycine at position 29 in the beta chain. Marked instability of the variant hemoglobin is demonstrated by the rapid formation of inclusion bodies upon exposure of the red cells to redox dyes and by the large percentage of precipitated hemoglobin at 65 oC. The oxygen affinity, the Bohr effect, and the degree of cooperativity of Hb Lufkin and Hb A are similar over the physiologic pH range. However, at acid pH the oxygen affinity of the variant is increased. Unlike other variants in the B helix, Hb Lufkin is not associated with methemoglobinemia.

73)	Volume 29 of Nature (1883)— A Weekly Illustrated Journal of Science was published by Macmillan & Co., London (November 1, 1883 to April 24, 1884), pp. 1-616 Wordsworth epigraph on cover: "To the solid ground Of Nature trusts the mind which builds for aye." Four interesting articles in Nature XXIX: 1) J. Norman Lockyer, "Movements of the Earth: II. Measurement of Time",     Nature XXIX, 65-69 (Nov. 15, 1883): It has been shown how, by the application of geometrical and optical principles, the measurement of angular space has been carried cown to the 1/100th of a second of arc, such a quantity being 1/129,600,000th part of an entire circumference, and when such an accuracy as this has been attained, and the altitude or the azimuth of the sun, or moon, or any other heavenly body can be correctly stated with this exactitude, it will be seen how much better off in the way of defining positions is the modern astronomer than was Hipparchus with his 1/3rd, and Tycho Brahe with his 1/4th of a degree... The next thing to be done, is to see how far we moderns have got in another kind of measurement, no longer the measurement of arc— the measurement of angular distance— but the measurement of time... Time can be divided down to the 1/10th of a second, or to the 864,000th part of a day, not only by a clock, but also by this chronometer... In the Book of Job, there is a reference to the constellation of Orion, also called Charles's Wain, or the Great Bear, known to the ancients. If the stars were very close to us the smallest motion either of earth or star would at once change their apparent positions, and would prevent this fixity of appearance, and the skies would be filled, not with the constellations with which we are so familiar, but with noew and ever-changing clusters of stars. This constancy of the constellations, not only from century to century, but from era to era, clearly proves that the stars of which they are made up must be at an infinite distance from the earth. [Measure changes in star's positions over time.] 2) William Thomson, (Lord Kelvin) "Scientific Worthies: XXIII—     Sir Charles William Siemens (Born April 4, 1823; Died Nov. 19, 1883)"     Nature XXIX, 97-99 (November 29, 1883),     250-254 (July 12, 1883), 274-278 (July 19, 1883) The death of Sir William Siemens, coming as it did so suddenly and unexpectedly, has been felt as a severe blow and grief through a far wider circle than that of his personal friends... William Siemens had the great characteristic common to all men who have left their mark on the world, the perfervidum ingeniium, in which thought leads to instant action. When he was only 20 years old he came to England with his brother Werner, to realise an invention for electo-gilding. A year later he invented the chronometric governor, and later, the watermeter. They later invented the Siemens armature, and their achievements in Atlantic cable-laying... In private life Sir William Siemens, with his lively bright intelligence always present and eager to give pleasure and benefit to those around him, was a most lovable man, singularly unselfish and full of kind thought and care for others. The writer of the present article has for nearly a quarter of a century had the happiness of personal friendship with him. The occasions of meeting him, more frequent of late years, and more and more frequent to the very end, are among the happiest of recollections. The thought that they can now live only in memory is too full of grief to find expression in words. 3) C. Piazzi Smyth, "The Remarkable Sunsets"     Nature XXIX, 149-153 (Dec. 13, 1883): On December 3 [1883], the reds were so powerful at certain times, and the air so clear between me and them, that the young crescent moon, though low down in the sky, shone by contrast to the scarlet cloudlets aroud it with a sort of supernatural lustre of blue silver; while the gaslights under the same constrast, though in reality a gross beery brown in colour, appeared of a delicate sulphur, almost greenish, yellow. Those clouds, therefore, were so red in consequence of something that had happened to the sunlight illumining them which had not happened to that illumining the moon... But the sunset of December 5 was very different. In the course of the evening there were two or three distinct atempts, as it were, for the clouds to assume red hues, but they lasted for only a few seconds each; and though some aspects of the scene were very fine pictorially, it had to be classed as a "yellow sunset"... this may yet have something to do with the green and blue suns seen in India last September, and they with the great volcanic explosions in Java last August, so destructive of human life! 4) E. Metzger, "Gleanings from the Reports Concerning the Eruption of Krakatoa"     Nature XXIX, 240-244 (Jan. 10, 1884): On the Island of Bali strong detonations were heard in the morning of August 26 [1883]... On borad the Charles Bal at 4:15 an eruption at the east of Krakatoa was observed; the masses which were driven forth to the east had the apperance of a furious squall... At 5 pm sky darkening, detonations stronger, pumice-stones pouring down, rather big pieces... Waves at Anjer (August 27, 9 am) estimated to be 135 feet (about 41 metres)... Sibessie was from the sea to the top buried under ashes (all people killed)... Up to November 1, they counted 32,635 persons killed by the eruption. 5) M.C. van Doorn, officer in command of H.M. ship Hydrograaf, "The Eruption of Krakatoa"     Nature XXIX, 268-269 (Jan. 17, 1884): Sixteen volcanoes now working between the spot where Krakatoa was before and Sebesie. Such was one of the first reports which was sent by cable to Singapore, and which we heard at Pontianak. Krakatoa has not entirely disappeared, while, till now, no new volcanoes are visible in the neighborhood... The northern part of the island has entirely disappeared... Where was land before, there is now no bottom to be found; at least we could not fathom it with lines of 200 fathoms (360 metres) long... Lang Island formerly covered by a luxurious vegetation, is now buried under a mass of pumice-stone, and appear like shapeless clods of burst clay... Sebesie is also covered with ashes up to the top— 859 metres— which appear like a grayish-yellow cloth. Krakatoa Eruption of August 26, 1883
74)	Volume 29 of Science (1908)— a Weekly Journal devoted to the Advancement of Science was published by The Science Press, New York (January-June 1909), pp. 1-1014 Interesting articles in this volume: 1) Edward L. Nichols, "Science and the Practical Problems of the Future"     Science XXIX, 1-10 (January 1, 1909)     The end of the world has long been a favorite subject of speculation.     The ancients and our forefathers of the middle ages were pleased to imagine     some sudden final disaster; as by fire. Science in our own day furnishes a basis     for a more definite forecast... Unchecked wastefulness as in the extermination of     the bison, in the destruction of forests, in the exhaustion of the soil, in the     disappearance of fish from our coasts and streams, in the pouring into the air     of an incredible amount of unused fuel from coke ovens must cease or our ruthless     exploitation wil bring disaster on generations soon to come... World power in the     near future is to be a question of knowledge— not of battleships— and     what is now spent on armaments is to be devoted to its pursuits. 2) Josiah Royce, "The American College and Life"     Science XXIX, 401-407 (March 12, 1909)     When I observe that a student is inattentive, I try to interest him.     When he is wilful, I try to get past his wilfulness as I can. I do not     know what, as a teacher, I accomplish. I simply try my best... There is     a place in the college for the great teacher with a mind like that of     Socrates, the prince of teachers, produces indirectedly, by acting as     the midwife, and by delivering others of the ideas with which their own     minds are pregnant... We want teaching and investigation to become more     and more what they ought to be— one and inseparable. 3) Frederic S. Lee, "Physical Exercise from the Standpoint of Physiology"     Science XXIX, 555--527 (April 2, 1909)     Mythologists tell us that Aesculapius, the god of healing, was slain by     a thunderbolt from Zeus because of complaints which had reached that deity     that Aesculapaius had become so skilful in his art that Hades was fast being     depopulated. His tragic end, however, did not deter his courageous daughter,     Hygeia, the goddess of health. The aim of her cult is to bring to, and maintain     at, its highest efficiency the human organic machine... Physiology teaches that     the fatigue of one tissue from over-use means the fatigue of all tissues...     it is the teaching of common sense to avoid physical excess. Common-sense     hygiene should have its place in a liberal education. 4) Victor C. Vaughan, "The Physical Basis of Life"     Science XXIX, 799-805 (May 21, 1909)     The cell may be regarded as the morphological unit of life, but form in and of     itself, and as recognized by the eye, is not essential to the manifestations of     life. We know no life apart from matter, and matter and energy are the only things     that we do know... The only difference between living and non-living matter is that     within the former there is constant and rhythmic metabolism, while in the latter     no such process occurs. Metabolism, the one characteristic phenomenon of living     matter, involves intramolecular change; consequently the molecule, and not the cell,     is the unit of life... Sensibility, or the capability of responding to stimuli,     is, as Claude Bernard said, to a certain extent the starting-point of life;     it is a primary phenomenon and from it all others, physiological, intellectual     and moral develop... Since nothing comes from nothing, the basis of psychical     action must lie in the physiolo-chemical elements of the organism.
75)	B-29 Superfortress: Once the largest U.S. Air Force bomber, it is now classified as a medium bomber. It can carry five tons of bombs to a target 2000 miles away, drop the bombs, then return to its base non-stop. It can also refuel in midair. The first one built made its maiden flight on Sept. 21, 1942. The second atomic bomb was dropped from a B-29 on Nagasaki on August 9, 1945. Wing span: 141'3"; Length: 99 feet; Height: 27'9"; Maximum speed: 357 mph; Weight: 140,000 lbs. B-29 Superfortress appears as Card #51 of Topps Wings: Friend or Foe (1952).
76)	The U.S. T-29 tank was developed in March 1944 in order to improve upon what became the M-26 Pershing. The 62 ton T-29 mounted a 105-mm gun with a rammer to help the crew with the heavy ammunition. The T-29 featured a stereoscopic rangefinder projecting from both sides of the turret. Because the ammunition was heavy, it was in two parts, and two loaders were needed. On the T-29, armor ranged from 4 inches on the hull to 11" on the mantlet, and a V-12 powered the tank. Vehicle speeds were 18-1/2 mph.

77)	29 Symbolism: Its potency is indistinct. One whose name corresponds to the number is extravagant, nervous, religious, suspicious, and in danger from heights and water. Physical weak spots: brain and nerves. Cabalistic traits: anxiety, doubting, virtuous, zelous; in low form: fanatic, hypocritical.

But she dwelt in that place, sorrow and grieving because she had not been taken to the thirteenth aeon, her place in the height.

She saw the mystery of her name in my garment and the whole glory of its mystery because she was previously in the place of the height in the thirteenth aeon. But she was wont to sing praises to the light in the height which she saw in the veil of the Treasure of the Light.     It happened now when she continued to sing praises to the light in the height, all the archons, which are with the two great triple-powered ones, looked on, and also her invisible one which is paired with her, and the other 22 invisible emanations— since the Pistis Sophia with her partner, with the other 22 emanations make up the 24 emanations , which the great invisible forefather with the two great triple-powered ones has emanated."
