Hans Freudenthal
Hans Freudenthal (17 September 1905 – 13 October 1990) was a Jewish-German-born Dutch mathematician. He made substantial contributions to algebraic topology and also took an interest in literature, philosophy, history and mathematics education.
Biography
Freudenthal was born in Luckenwalde, Brandenburg, on 17 September 1905, the son of a Jewish teacher. He was interested in both mathematics and literature as a child, and studied mathematics at the University of Berlin beginning in 1923. He met Brouwer in 1927, when Brouwer came to Berlin to give a lecture, and in the same year Freudenthal also visited the University of Paris. He completed his thesis work with Heinz Hopf at Berlin, defended a thesis on the ends of topological groups in 1930, and was officially awarded a degree in October 1931. After defending his thesis in 1930, he moved to Amsterdam to take up a position as assistant to Brouwer. In this pre-war period in Amsterdam, he was promoted to lecturer at the University of Amsterdam, and married his wife, Suus Lutter, a Dutch teacher.
Although he was a German Jew, Freudenthal's position in the Netherlands insulated him from the anti-Jewish laws that had been passed in Germany beginning with the Nazi rise to power in 1933. However, in 1940 the Germans invaded the Netherlands, following which Freudenthal was suspended from duties at the University of Amsterdam by the Nazis. In 1943 Freudenthal was sent to a labor camp in the village of Havelte in the Netherlands, but with the help of his wife (who, as a non-Jew, had not been deported) he escaped in 1944 and went into hiding with his family in occupied Amsterdam. During this period Freudenthal occupied his time in literary pursuits, including winning first prize under a false name in a novel-writing contest.
With the war over, Freudenthal's position at the University of Amsterdam was returned to him, but in 1946 he was given a chair in pure and applied mathematics and foundations of mathematics at Utrecht University, where he remained for the rest of his career. He served as the 8th president of the International Commission on Mathematical Instruction from 1967 to 1970. In 1971 he founded the Institute for the Development of Mathematical Education (IOWO) at Utrecht University, which after his death was renamed the Freudenthal Institute. In 1972 he founded and became editor-in-chief of the journal Geometriae Dedicata. He retired from his professorship in 1975 and from his journal editorship in 1981. He died in Utrecht in 1990, sitting on a bench in a park where he always took a morning walk.
Contributions
In his thesis work, published as a journal article in 1931, Freudenthal introduced the concept of an end of a topological space. Ends are intended to capture the intuitive idea of a direction in which the space extends to infinity, but have a precise mathematical formulation in terms of covers of the space by nested sequences of compact sets. Ends remain of great importance in topological group theory, Freudenthal's motivating application, and also in other areas of mathematics such as the study of minimal surfaces.
In 1936, while working with Brouwer, Freudenthal proved the Freudenthal spectral theorem on the existence of uniform approximations by simple functions in Riesz spaces. In 1937 he proved the Freudenthal suspension theorem, showing that the suspension operation on topological spaces shifts by one their low-dimensional homotopy groups; this result was important in understanding the homotopy groups of spheres (since every sphere can be formed topologically as a suspension of a lower-dimensional sphere) and eventually formed the basis of stable homotopy theory. The Freudenthal magic square is a construction in Lie algebra developed by Freudenthal (and independently by Jacques Tits) in the 1950s and 1960s, associating each Lie algebra to a pair of division algebras.
In 1968, Freudenthal founded the journal, Educational Studies in Mathematics (ESM). Becoming one of the top-rated journals in the field of mathematics education, ESM was focused on publishing research around finding better ways to teach mathematics.
Later in his life, Freudenthal focused on elementary mathematics education. In the 1970s, his single-handed intervention prevented the Netherlands from following the worldwide trend of "new math". He was also a fervent critic of one of the first international school achievement studies.
Freudenthal published the Impossible Puzzle, a mathematical puzzle that appears to lack sufficient information for a solution, in 1969. He also designed a constructed language, Lincos, to make possible communication with extraterrestrial intelligence.

Awards and honors
In 1951, Freudenthal became a member of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences. He was also an honorary member of the International Academy of the History of Science.
He was awarded the Gouden Ganzenveer award in 1984.
In 2000, the International Commission on Mathematical Instruction instituted an award named in honor of Freudenthal, the Hans Freudenthal Medal. It is given in odd-numbered years (beginning in 2003) for an "outstanding achievement in mathematics education research" in the form of "a major cumulative program of research". Recipients of the medal have included Celia Hoyles, Paul Cobb, Anna Sfard, Yves Chevallard, Luis Radford and Frederick Leung.
The asteroid 9689 Freudenthal is named after him.

Rep. Bettie Cook Scott.
Rep. Bettie Cook Scott (D-Detroit) has issued an apology after hurling a series of anti-Asian slurs at her opponent, Rep. Stephanie Chang (D-Detroit), during last week's primary election.More than a dozen community groups and the Michigan Democratic Party called on Scott to apologize after she was heard referring to Chang and her campaign volunteers as "ching-chongs," in addition to other off-color remarks made outside polling precincts last Tuesday. Scott and Chang were competing in the Democratic Party primary for Michigan's 1st Senate District, which Chang won by a wide margin."I deeply regret the comments I made that have proven hurtful to so many," Scott said in a statement through her representative, Bill Noakes. "Those are words I never should have said.""I humbly apologize to Representative Chang, her husband, Mr. Gray, and to the broader Asian-American community for those disparaging remarks. In the divisive age we find ourselves in, I should not contribute further to that divisiveness.""I have reached out to Representative Chang to meet with her so that I may apologize to her in person. I pray she and the Asian American community can find it in their hearts to forgive me."The apology came hours after a Metro Times story highlighting Cook's offensive statements went viral. Chang's husband, Sean Gray, told us he heard Cook tell a voter that "these immigrants from China are coming over and taking our community from us" and that it "disgusts" her to see "black people holding signs for these Asians and not supporting their own people." Gray said Cook also admonished him for marrying Chang. Gray is African-American.A woman volunteering at a separate precinct, in Detroit's East English Village, reported that she heard Scott tell a voter exiting the precinct, "Thanks for voting for me, you don't need to vote for that ching-chang."Shortly after our story ran, the Michigan Democratic Party issued a statement saying, "We expect better from anyone who wants to call themselves a Michigan Democrat. Bettie Cook Scott needs to apologize to the entire Asian-American community. If an individual doesn't share our fundamental values of tolerance, decency, and respect, they should find another party."The first call for an apology came from the Asian & Pacific Islander American Vote — Michigan, and 18 other groups including the Association of Chinese Americans, the African Bureau of Immigration & Social Affairs, American Citizens for Justice, the Detroit Hispanic Development Corporation, and Equality Michigan.Chang, who is of Chinese heritage and was born in Detroit, called Cook's comments "offensive to all Asian-Americans.""It isn't about me," she told. "It's about an elected official disrespecting entire populations, whether they be Asian-American, immigrant, or residents of Sen. District 1 or [Cook's] own current house district."Chang won the Democratic primary for Sen. District 1 with 49 percent of the vote to Scott's 11 percent. She is expected to win the general.

Welfare Reform on the Web (May 2000): Child Welfare - UK
ADOPTION IS NOT ALWAYS THE ANSWER
D. Orr
Independent, Review Supplement, Feb. 25th 2000, p.5
Argues that some children in the care system may be too damaged to be suitable for adoption or fostering. Instead more resources need to be poured into the care system to attract and reward more suitably qualified staff. Social work is expensive, but government always wants it done on the cheap.
AFTER WATERHOUSE
Community Care, no.1310, 2000, p.18-24
Examines reaction to the Waterhouse report on historical child abuse in residential homes in Wales. For residential care to succeed, the status of staff working in homes must be raised, there must be provision for independent investigation of complaints, more research is needed into what works for vulnerable young people, and staff training must be improved.
BIG BROTHER'S WATCHING..
H. Palmer
Third Sector, issue 177, 2000, p.23
Describes the launch of a mentoring scheme to boost the self-esteem of children from one parent families by the charity Big Brothers and Sisters with government backing.
CHANGE IN LAW WILL EASE PATH TO ADOPTION
P. Webster and A. Frean
Times, Feb. 18th 2000, p.2
Tony Blair is to chair a new Cabinet committee which will look at measures to reduce hurdles facing prospective parents and sharply to reduce the time adoption proceedings take.
THE CHILDREN ACT REPORT 1995-1999
Department of Health
London: TSO, 2000 (Cm 4579)

DARK SECRETS OF OUR CHILDREN IN FEAR
Y. Alibhai-Brown
Independent, Feb. 17th 2000, p.5
Discusses the neglect and abuse of looked after children prevalent in the care system. Calls for increased resources, provision of counselling, improved complaints and inspection procedures and enhanced status for care workers to attract better quality recruits.
IN SEARCH OF A PROTECTOR
A. Thompson
Community Care, no.1309, 2000, p.20-21
In the wake of the Waterhouse report, calls for the establishment of a children's commissioner to champion children's rights.
(See also Community Care, no.1309, 2000, p.14)
IS THE CHILDREN ACT FAILING SEVERELY ABUSED AND NEGLECTED CHILDREN?
N. Speight and J. Wynne
Archives of Disease in Childhood, vol.82, 2000, p.192-196
Argues that the Children Act 1989 in many ways acts as a deterrent to social workers intervening firmly in cases of abuse and neglect. The Act has shifted the emphasis of child protection towards keeping the family unit together at the cost of leaving youngsters in abusive homes. Because the Act requires a higher standard of proof of abuse, social workers leave children to be repeatedly abused in order to produce sufficient evidence that they should be taken into care.
IS THERE A MISSING LINK?
L. Carrington
Community Care, no.1307, 2000, p.24-25
Reports on a campaign by one social worker for a legal obligation to be placed on local authorities and adoption agencies to provide a link worker for every adopted child, who can maintain contact after the adoption order has gone through. This has met with a mixed response from adoption agencies.
LOST IN CARE: REPORT OF THE TRIBUNAL OF INQUIRY INTO THE ABUSE OF CHILDREN IN CARE IN THE FORMER COUNTY COUNCIL AREAS OF GWYNEED AND CLWYD SINCE 1974
Reports the findings of an inquiry led by Sir Ronald Waterhouse. According
to the report widespread sexual abuse of boys and girls occurred in children's
residential homes in North Wales between 1974 and 1990. Names of some of the
perpetrators are given. Report identifies failings in practice such as: lack
of complaints procedures, low quality of care, inadequate education, etc., evident
in the running of residential homes. The management of the services by the Social
Service Departments was also inadequate. The report's recommends include:
Establishment of an independent children's commissioner for Wales;
Appointment of a children's complaints officer;
Local authorities should establish clear whistle-blowing procedures;
Social Services departments should be vigilant when recruiting staff and
foster parents;
Every child should be given an individual social worker.
MIND THE GAP
H. Bond
Guardian. Society, Feb. 16th 2000, p.243
Reports on a campaign by the Action on Aftercare Consortium to lay a legal obligation on local authorities to assist young people in care up to the age of 24 if they are still in education or training.

Reports that the government is launching a scheme to give millions of 13-19 year-olds independent advice from personal mentors. The service will advise teenagers on careers, leisure, and family matters. It aims to reduce truancy levels, exclusion rates from schools, and the incidence of teenage pregnancies.
(See also Guardian, Feb. 4th 2000, p.6)
NO NATIONAL NETWORK FOR CHILDREN'S REFUGES
D. Carlisle
Community Care, no.1306, 2000, p.8
The government has turned down calls for a national network of refuges for runaway children, on the grounds that local authorities should make any provision necessary.
PROMOTING HEALTH FOR LOOKED-AFTER CHILDREN
Department of Health
London: 1999
Consultation document on improving access to health care for children in care. Many of these health needs have been neglected, and are likely to be more pressing than those of the general population. Recommends that the NHS should: ensure that children in care are registered with GPs and dental practices; make clear arrangements to liaise with other health authorities when children are placed out of the area or change placements; make arrangements for the change from child to adult services at age 16 to 18; fast track medical records when children change placements and ensure that previous waiting times are taken into account when children transfer to a new list.
(For comment see Health Service Journal, vol.110, Feb. 24th 2000)
SPONSORED DAY CARE IN A CHANGING WORLD
J. Stratham, J. Dillon and P. Moss
Children and Society, vol.14, 2000, p.23-36
Sponsored day care is the term used for the purchase of places for children in need in private and voluntary day care services by social services. Paper considers the development and operation of sponsored day care services in 12 English local authorities. Results suggest that provision for children in need is in danger of being marginalised by the current focus on early education and child care for working parents. Sponsored day care is now largely a short-term crisis intervention for families of 'children in need', located within a child welfare framework, which is in danger of being detached from current debates about the labour market and welfare-to-work policies.
STAFFING CRISIS HITS CHILD PROTECTION PLAN
D. Brindle
Guardian, Jan. 31st 2000, p.9
Two-thirds of local authority social services departments have warned the Department of Health that they are struggling to recruit the staff they need to implement measures to tighten safeguards for children in care. Of 150 local authorities in England, 105 have told the DoH that the implementation of the Quality Protects initiative is being held up because 40% of designated posts remain unfilled.

Total War for the Hearts and Minds of America
The political left wins because it follows the tactic of total and continual war. It does not walk away from any election with the idea that combat can wait until the next election cycle. More importantly, they often make their biggest gains when out of power precisely because they position themselves as “aggrieved” and “offended” and do not need to compromise to try to pass legislation.
“Fake News” is just another one of their tactics. We are all talking about it now because the left is very capable in defining the topics of the time, as a result of their near total control of academia, journalism and the media. Trump is also a master of defining the topics about which we discuss, but the question remains to what extent he will do so in a way that benefits conservatism generally. Hopefully with the addition of Breitbart’s media genius Stephen Bannon in his administration, he will be able to fight fire with fire.
For better or worse, neither political party has much of a moderate faction anymore (though one could argue that the GOP still has remnants of the old Rockefeller faction in the likes of Senators Ayotte, Graham, McCain, etc.), but not within the House of Representatives, so really there is no realistic mechanism for compromise. The “Gang of 8” immigration reform legislation was the one real effort at a compromise on a controversial issue but died in the House due to lack of Congressmen on either side who are interested in the kind of policy compromise that might upset their constituents. The vast majority of Congressional districts are safely Republican or Democrat as a result of both gerrymandering and of the voters self segregating to like minded cities and states. With little moderating influence within Capitol Hill, the extremes on both sides whip up support by scaring their folks about the ill intentions of the other side – and in the end the politicians carry the water for the groups best able to raise money and to drum up voters.
The left fights total and continual warfare, not only on Capitol Hill but with private advocacy groups. Take for example the issue of same sex marriage. The proponents faced a series of legal and electoral setbacks on that issue since first promoting the concept in the early 1990s. Every state that ever considered an initiative or a state constitutional amendment on the issue voted for traditional marriage . The courts were a bit more lenient than the voters, but the Defense of Marriage Act signed by Clinton seemed to put an end to the issue in regard to federal acknowledgment of such marriages. In spite of their defeats, the left continued to push for same sex marriage in colleges, in corporate boardrooms, and on mainstream media. They framed the culture and then found federal judges who would advance their cause.
On the other hand, when the Supreme Court in Obergefell v Hodges pulled out of thin air a constitutional right to such marriages, the National Organization for Marriage and most traditional marriage politicians dropped the issue like a hot potato. Would the left throw in the towel so quickly if Obergefell had been ruled a different way?
The one social issue where the right has kept up the fight in spite of the Supreme Court “settling the law” is abortion. Those pro-lifers have never acknowledged as “settled” the majority opinion in Roe v Wade. Precisely for that reason the pro-life side continues to be powerful even among post-Christian millennials. Indeed, though the millennials are died in the wool left wing on most cultural issues, they are no more likely to be pro-choice than older demographic groups. This is because pro-lifers have done a great job with college aged women, who are more likely to be pro-life than college aged men, and because they have never accepted Roe v Wade as legitimate. They are waging war on behalf of the unborn the way the left does, but on most other major issues the right surrenders to the left much faster than the reverse and so loses the larger cultural war.
Mr. Hannosh is an Army Veteran, Water Board Treasurer, Representative for the American MidEast Coalition for Trump, Teacher, Real Estate Agent, Former Candidate for Congress, Former School Board President, Pat Buchanan, Ron and Rand Paul supporter and activist seeking to put Americans first, not the establishment. Mr. Hannosh is married and has a daughter who he hopes will inherit an America that loves peace, liberty and freedom.

The Children's Cancer Study Group is a multi-disciplinary organization formed to cooperate in research into malignant diseases in children: specifically, to study the factors which may cause or influence these diseases, and to develop, evaluate and improve methods of treatment. The primary objective of the cooperative group has been the evaluation of new biological and chemotherapeutic agents in the treatment of acute leukemia and solid tumors in childhood, and finding new and better ways of using the already known agents. This evaluation is done by pediatric oncologists, surgeons, radiotherapists, pathologists and immunologists within the cooperating institutions which make up the group. It is also our objective to provide supportive care for these children with leukemia and solid tumors which will enable all children who desire to do so to participate in our protocol studies. This supportive care includes financial supportive care (domiciliary care, travel assistance, outpatient costs, etc.), social service assistance, as well as medical supportive care.

public class LookupFoodItem{

When I'm fetching BookingDetail information from database using JPA it's giving me redundant data like this
LookupFoodItem{id=40, name='Beef ', price=120.0}
LookupFoodItem{id=41, name='Polao', price=300.0}
LookupFoodItem{id=42, name='Crab Fry', price=299.0}
LookupFoodItem{id=43, name='Chicken Soup', price=100.0}
LookupFoodItem{id=40, name='Beef ', price=120.0}
LookupFoodItem{id=41, name='Polao', price=300.0}
LookupFoodItem{id=42, name='Crab Fry', price=299.0}
LookupFoodItem{id=43, name='Chicken Soup', price=100.0}
LookupFoodItem{id=40, name='Beef ', price=120.0}
LookupFoodItem{id=41, name='Polao', price=300.0}
LookupFoodItem{id=42, name='Crab Fry', price=299.0}
LookupFoodItem{id=43, name='Chicken Soup', price=100.0}
LookupFoodItem{id=40, name='Beef ', price=120.0}
LookupFoodItem{id=41, name='Polao', price=300.0}
LookupFoodItem{id=42, name='Crab Fry', price=299.0}
LookupFoodItem{id=43, name='Chicken Soup', price=100.0}
There is no relation between LookupFoodItem and LookupFacilities.
A:
Not sure if you are using LOMBOK or actually missing the getters and setter so I added it here.
Used Set instead of List and changed the fetching to Lazy. This is from one of my working solutions. Hope this helps.
Feel free to change the annotations as needed For more details this has some info
public class BookingDetail {
private Set<LookupFacility> lookupFacilities = new HashSet<LookupFacility>();
private Set<LookupFoodItem> lookupFoodItems = new HashSet<LookupFoodItem>();
@OneToMany(fetch = FetchType.LAZY, mappedBy = "bookingDetail", cascade = CascadeType.ALL, orphanRemoval = true)
@Fetch(FetchMode.SUBSELECT)
public Set<LookupFacility> getLookupFacilities() {
return lookupFacilities;
}
public void setLookupFacilities(final Set<LookupFacility> lookupFacilities) {
this.lookupFacilities = lookupFacilities;
}
@OneToMany(fetch = FetchType.LAZY, mappedBy = "bookingDetail", cascade = CascadeType.ALL, orphanRemoval = true)
@Fetch(FetchMode.SUBSELECT)
public Set<LookupFoodItem> getLookupFoodItems() {
return lookupFoodItems;
}
public void setLookupFoodItems(final Set<LookupFoodItem> lookupFoodItems) {
this.lookupFoodItems = lookupFoodItems;
}
}
And for class LookupFacility and LookupFoodItem us this
private BookingDetail bookingDetail;
@ManyToOne(fetch = FetchType.LAZY)
@JoinColumn(name = "booking_details_id")
public BookingDetail getBookingDetail() {
return bookingDetail;
}
public void setBookingDetail(BookingDetail bookingDetail) {
this.bookingDetail = bookingDetail;
}

Leonard Floyd's alarm clock is better than most alarm clocks, because Floyd's alarm isn't used to only wake him up in the morning -- it's also used to remind him to eat whatever the heck he wants in large quantities.
This happens multiple times a day for the No. 9 pick in the 2016 NFL Draft.
"I've got prompts set up on my phone of times in the day that I'm supposed to eat, making sure I eat at those time when I get the alarm," Floyd said, per CSN Chicago.
As CSN Chicago reported, he can eat pretty much anything on one condition. "As long as I eat a lot of it," Floyd explained.
The reason the Bears traded up to snag Floyd in the draft is entirely due to his ability to rush the passer. At Georgia, Floyd racked up 17 sacks in three seasons. He's a blur and features an array of moves.
Again, he's fast.
Leonard Floyd step for step with a WR: https://t.co/6yuNHeVw0k — Adam Hoge (@AdamHoge) April 29, 2016
He is, however, lean. He weighed in at 244 pounds at the combine, but according to Bears defensive coordinator Vic Fangio, he's expected to play roughly 10 pounds lighter than that.
Still Fangio doesn't sound concerned.
"The weight thing's not a big thing with me," Fangio said. "He's going to weigh somewhere between 230 and 235. That's just what he's going to weigh. We knew that before we drafted him. So it's not an issue. We knew that and that's a fact and that's what he is."
So, to sum up, Floyd's "job," which will pay him somewhere around $15 million, consists of hunting down quarterbacks and eating as much food as he wants. That doesn't sound awful.

Chasing 3000

Early Era Photos
Chasing 3000
Not too long ago I watched the movie "Chasing 3,000”. The movie is a story of two brothers, Mickey and Roger, and their journey from California to Pittsburgh to see Roberto Clemente reach 3,000 hits the last week of the ‘72 season. I’ll be honest, I was a little nervous and slightly intimidated about interviewing the person who wrote this screenplay about his true story that I found so motivating. Bill Mikita was kind enough to let me call him and pick his brain about movie making, baseball, family, bonding, and Pistol Pete.
The movie stars Ray Liotta and Trevor Morgan who play Mickey, the high school athlete and Rory Culkin who plays Roger, the younger brother who lives with muscular dystrophy. It’s a film more about the journey than the destination. It’s based on the real life experience of Bill Mikita and his younger brother Steve.
Much like the journey in the movie, getting a movie made was a difficult. Bill explained that getting a screenplay is one thing, getting people interested is another. For several years, Bill and writing partner Cris D'Annunzio tried to get producers to pick up this project. It took a lot of fundraising and connections until enough were raised. Eventually, Bill contacted Ryan Johnson of Mandalay Pictures, who he’s talked to in the past. Ryan knew Ray Liotta's manager, once Ray read the script the project took off. As the cast was coming together Trevor Morgan and Rory Culkin were already good friends so their chemistry clicked instantly.
Even after the movie was under way, they encountered more obstacles including the stock market crash, which hurt a lot of movies, including their distributor. When that happened, the team brought the film to the Tribeca Film Festival where they reconnected with Maya Entertainment. In an ironic way, Bill said, he had to relive the epic journey and overcomes many obstacles to get this film to the end of its journey. A lot of movies have a couple year window before the content is no longer relevant, luckily, being a period piece, that wasn’t the case for this movie. Bill added that there is no way this movie would have gotten made without help from Pirates President Frank Coonelly, the Pirates, and the Clemente family.
The film played everyday for a week at Tribeca and Bill had the chance to talk to audiences. He felt that viewers really related, especially to the story of his brother striving to overcome obstacles. In a world of social media, people from all across the world have contacted Bill and Steve about their love of the movie. In Pittsburgh, the movie was really well received; people recognized the feel and look of the city - Not to mention their love of Clemente.
Bill recently read an article about Clemente, and how over time revisionist history has made people love Clemente more. Bill felt the writer missed the impression that Clemente had on kids. Kids between the ages of 10 and 18 in ‘72, saw Clemente as a hero that they could relate to. That’s part of what “Chasing 3,000” is about, going back in time. Bill explained that those of that particular generation felt, “his greatness really came from being a great person. If he had done anything else, he would have been great.”
One character that I really enjoyed was Chuck Ireland, a man who finds the boys sleeping in his barn and gives the boys a car to drive. I couldn’t help but to wonder if that really happened? There is a real Chuck Ireland, in fact, the real Chuck Ireland went to the game with them. The way his story actually played out didn’t fit into the movie, Bill told me. To this day, Bill and Steve still replicate Ireland’s voice-cracking-“Bush!”-holler in honor of him.
(M. Emmet Walsh as Chuck Ireland)
If you’re familiar with Clemente’s journey, you might know that with 2,999 hits, Clemente reached base on an error. Bill explained that the footage of that error didn’t exist - the footage in the movie is a different error. Bill relayed the actual play to me as if he just saw it. Clemente hit the ball hard up the middle, the second baseman dove and got his glove on the ball but it was hit too hard and trickled past him. The scoreboard flashed “Hit” and suddenly changed to “E”. “It added to the drama” he told me. He believed that in today’s game would have scored it a hit.
It’s been almost 30 years since Roberto’s tragic death and I asked Bill his feelings on losing his idol. “It was devastating” he paused “It’s one of those moments that you couldn’t believe when it happened”... “It was sort of like a family member. When you’re a kid, you see your heroes as invincible. It certainly impacted me, and everyone, my brother, my friends. It was a devastating day,.” He continued “It's interesting in many ways, when someone dies young, they take on a mythical quality”. I loved hearing Bill passionately talk about baseball. “Growing up in the 60s and 70s, baseball was the sport. Kids growing up didn't see baseball players, they saw baseball gods”.
Unfortunately for me, I never got to see Clemente play. I didn’t get to see a lot of greats play. Some day, how am I going to explain Ken Griffey jr to my kids? I asked Bill a similar question. Who in today’s game compares to Roberto? He was trying to be as respectable as possible to today’s players, but I honestly feel that he believes that there is no fair comparison. “There aren’t too many players today with that arm strength.” After thinking about it, Carlos Beltran’s skills came to mind. “The thing with Clemente is, he wasn’t large.” He told me a quote he once heard “He was an ordinary sized man with extraordinary talent”, today’s players are much bigger and stronger.”
(Clemente)
Staying current, I asked him about Jeter’s pursuit of 3,000. He revised his Beltran comment, and thinks Jeter is comparable. He told me that Jeter is sort of a modern day Roberto. He has long been a Jeter fan. “He’s a winner, a leader, it goes beyond statistics”. Bill sent him a copy of the movie. “I wanted him to have a copy, and wish him well on his chase of 3,000. He’s a mythical kind of player”. Bill told me that Jeter might be the only comparable player today to the stars of the 70s.
He also told me that he would have given Jeter the 3,000th hit back. It’s part of history and, to quote Ireland “That’s what it’s all about”.
One thing I found interesting in the movie was, as kids, they traded baseball cards and formed lineups. As a huge fantasy nerd, I related. It was almost a precursor to fantasy. Bill said, he’s never thought about it like a fantasy lineup, but the statement was accurate. Baseball cards were a big part of their life. Whenever the new Topps checklist came out, the way they reacted, “it was magical”.
When it comes to modern times, I asked Bill if this story could happen today and how he would feel if one of his children ran away to see an idol? He jokingly told me that he was pleading the fifth. But in all sincerity, he told me that the world is a different place now. Not only is it more dangerous, but also, financially it would be more difficult. He wouldn’t want a teen to try that today.
At one point, I asked Bill if anyone said or asked anything that really left a lasting impact with him after the premiere. When it’s all said and done, Bill said something that really stuck with me. It wasn’t about Clemente, or even baseball, it was about his mother. Bill sadly lost his mother when she was 60 - he was 30 at the time. He looked at himself and asked what he wanted to be doing with his life - the answer was writing. That’s what motivated Bill to work on this movie. Do what you love. That theme resonated in this movie as well. Roger and Mickey have an unspoken bond at one point where they decide that this trip isn’t just about baseball, it’s about love. Their love, their journey and the fact that they don’t know how much time they would have together. So as I thought about this, I realized what this article was about, it’s about me, it’s about the reader. Don’t be afraid to do what you love. Don’t be afraid to do a write a long-winded “600 word” article that is now at 1550 words, don’t be afraid to take a chance, or follow your dream, don’t be afraid to sneak from home and follow your favorite baseball team. Actually scratch that last part. Take a second piece of advice from Bill and don’t do that.
“Chasing 3,000” had a 2010 release, went to DVD in Oct, played on ShowTime in June and July and will again in Aug and Sept. It’s also available on Netflix.

Introductions
"Run-of-the-mill" seems like a modestly accurate way to describe myself in terms of horror fandom. In certain respects I find that valuable, since ideally I can make an appeal to those like myself, to those who may be testing the waters, and hopefully to the hardcore horror fans as well. (And I sincerely encourage feedback, especially from the latter.) It wasn't until several years ago, the present time of this writing being December of '09 to give perspective, that the genre genuinely appealed to me and I owe all that to the film adaptation of Stephen King's 'IT'. After that, it was a slow and steady progression that grew into watching more Stephen King film adaptations, then into watching general horror films. In more recent years it's branched from solely films into different mediums, namely: comics (comic books, manga, graphic novels, webcomics, etc.), purely written literature, and different games.
But let's get to the point, shall we? The Darkley Niche is something I've constructed after the comic-in-progress that a friend and myself plan on self-publishing, an anthology of short horror stories much in the same vein as 'Tales from the Crypt' and similar titles. The series centers around a faceless persona we've affectionately dubbed Alan Darkley, the Niche's namesake, and a cast of storytellers whose tales fall within particular subgenres and sister genres of horror. This site is the drawing board, if you will, where everything posted is either a form of research or a roughing out of ideas. It's all relevant in some fashion. By exploring these different horror stories and their mediums a better understanding and influence of the genre, as well as inspiration, can be put into the comic. Even if you have no personal interest in the project, perhaps you can glean something from the reviews and the like. And if nothing else, the Niche will work to serve my own purposes.
Be sure to browse over the column of banners below if you're looking for posts on a particular topic.

About Myself
Well, here's yours truly. The name's Drew, in case you were wondering. The Niche is my personal site, while the comic-in-progress is a partnered effort with Don, a lifelong friend of mine. We collaborate on the stories, but my partner's the writer in the outfit while I am the illustrator. This is currently little more than a side project, but we hope to make something of it.

Saturday, October 20, 2012
For those not familiar with the Disney Channel series 'Gravity Falls', the premise is how twin siblings Dipper and Mabel Pines spend their summer with Great-Uncle "Gruncle" Stan, a Shriner-looking sheister who runs a tourist trap called the Mystery Shack. (Or Mystery Hack, rather, as the letter S has fallen off of its proper place on the sign.) But, as the children soon learn, the town of Gravity Falls, Oregon is far from normal and appears to be a hub of all manner of strangeness. It's loosely like 'Twin Peaks', but less soap opera melodrama and for kids. (This is especially apparent at a restaurant called The Club, where the interior resembles the "Red Room.")
In time for the season, 'Gravity Falls' released its latest episode "Summerween," named after the fictitious holiday celebrated on June 22nd. The townsfolk of Gravity Falls apparently all loved Halloween so much that they invented it. (Definitely sounds better than Christmas in July in our book.) Essentially, Summerween keeps to the same traditions as Halloween does but with just a few discrepancies: watermelons are used instead of pumpkins to create jack o' melons, "cheap ol' loser" candy is prevalent (ex: Sand Pop!, Gummy Chairs, and Mr. Adequate-Bar), and, in direct relation to the candy, the Summerween Trickster. As Mystery Shack handyman Soos tells it to the Pines kids, the
Summerween Trickster is a boogeyman who will get children discontent
with the off-brand candy or lacking in the Summerween spirit.
bowl of cheap ol' loser candy
The legend of the Summerween Trickster has to be invoked, of course, so naturally a scenario shortly afterward begins to set itself up. Wendy, another Mystery Shack employee, along with a Donnie Darko-esque Robbie, the typical douche-bag boyfriend, come by the Shack to pick up her coat that evening. While there, she relates to Dipper details of a party happening later that night and that he ought to come. As it happens, Wendy is one of those slightly older cool kids and incidentally Dipper's crush. So when she inadvertently validates Robbie's point that trick-or-treating is for little kids, he decides to give it up.
"Twins in costumes! The people eat it up."
This proves problematic, as Mabel loves trick-or-treating and has fond memories of doing this together. To spare his sister's feelings, Dipper feigns sickness from eating some of the bad candy. But while in the middle of selling his white lie, there comes a visitor knocking at the Shack's door. Cue the ominous music, and here we are introduced to a trick-or-treating Summerween Trickster. However, exasperated with convincing his sister that he simply isn't up to it, Dipper rudely shuts the door on their visitor twice.
Yeahhh, you already know that this isn't going to go over well.
"Trick or treeeat..."
"Dude, really? You're a little old for this, man."
A third, more adamant knock bangs on their front door and this time Mabel answers, as Dipper refuses to. She politely excuses her brother's behavior, but the Summerween Trickster has been angered and will not be appeased until they have met his demand: retrieve five-hundred pieces of candy that night before the last jack o' melon goes out, or else he will be eaten (just like an unfortunate, random kid is only moments before). Now, even if this wasn't some sort of boogeyman, he's still an incredibly tall and creepily imposing guy. That alone should be adequate motivation. Even so, Dipper begrudgingly goes along with trick-or-treating as Mabel recruits Soos and her friends to help.
"I got a picture!"
Meanwhile, Stan Pines, the self-proclaimed "Master of Fright," gleefully anticipates terrifying any trick-or-treaters who come over to the Mystery Shack. Between an 'Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark' melting face scare and a disembowelment with sausage link guts, this works pretty well for the most part. However, two among the group of costumed kids are underwhelmed with the antics, despite his best efforts. So here we come to a standstill between an unstoppable force and an immovable object: a cheapskate who scares children to avoid handing out treats vs. horror-desensitized kids who want their candy. Who will break first? That question will have to wait.
Elsewhere on the streets of Gravity Falls, the Pines twins and their gang of friends begin hitting up the houses. But it becomes plainly clear that people won't hand out enough candy unless Dipper dresses up in costume, which at this point he hasn't. And to give them a healthy little reminder, the Summerween Trickster promptly drops in – quite literally – to check on their progress, or rather lack thereof.
"Tick tock, children..."
*blows out jack o' melon's candle*
Dipper relents and dresses in a complimentary costume to his sister's, the literal peanut butter to her jelly. This goes off without a hitch – especially with the twin cuteness factor – and during the ensuing montage of trick-or-treating the circle of friends collect four-hundred and ninety-nine pieces of candy, just in the homestretch. But when Wendy and Robbie happen to spy Dipper he ditches both the costume and candy, making up an excuse as to why he's out. When the older kids have driven off, we see that Mabel has overheard everything and is hurt that Dipper would have otherwise ditched her.To make matters worse, the wheel barrel of their collected candy accidentally dumped itself into a ditch and washed the treats away in a creek. It's then that they notice all of the jack o' melons have gone out, save for one, and despite rescuing it they themselves wind up blowing it out with in sigh of relief. Oops. Cue the ominous music again, and the Summerween Trickster comes to collect.
"Knock, knock..."
Yeah, even as a kid's television show, that scene is still kinda creepy. Approaching the children on the deserted street, the Summerween Trickster corners them into a local dump. When Dipper is unable to deliver on his demands, the Trickster stretches taller, his humped back tearing through his coat, and another pair of spindly arms branch out. The Pines boy futilely flings the last and only remaining piece of candy at the changing character, only to see it absorb into the boogeyman's mottled skin. Laughing, it pursues the children and begins to nab them in its clutches. Luckily, Soos comes to the rescue in a truck and dashes the Summerween Trickster into broken bits.Their luck doesn't last, though, as the Trickster begins reassembling itself into something more akin to a giant spider, with the exception of the smiley face mask. It leaps onto the moving truck, causing Soos to crash his vehicle into the local Summerween Superstore. Everyone is alright, but the immediate danger isn't over as the monster makes its way into the store and stalks about as they hide.
Blocking the entrance, they devise an escape plan by dressing in the surrounding costumes to disguise themselves from the Trickster as store props. Progress is carefully made and eventually they do make it to the front of the Summerween Superstore. Soos, however, cannot resist the temptation of the touch-activated, talking skull candy bowls. Despite Dipper and Mabel's hushed pleas he goes ahead... And it doesn't work. As it turns out, there are no batteries inside. But in a stroke of comical genius, Soos goes out of his way to tear open a package of batteries, install them, and press again, which of course works this time and alerts the monster.
Perhaps emboldened by the dire situation of their friend Soos, the children brandish costume weapons and attack the monstrous Summerween Trickster. Flecks of the boogeyman-thing glance off of its mottled skin, some in their mouths, and they notice it has a flavor like saltwater taffy. When it sees that they haven't pieced together the truth, the monster removes its mask and reveals that it is, itself, made entirely of "loser" candy. "Did you ever stop and think about the candy at the bottom of the bag, that no one likes?" it asks. Every year, all of the rejected candy would be discarded in the dump, where it accumulated, grew sentient, and now seeks revenge on the picky children of Gravity Falls.
"Look at my face. Look closely..."
No one would eat him, he tells the children, "So now, I'm going to eat you..." But as the monstrous Summerween Trickster draws them closer within its clutches, it hesitates, gurgling out a cry of agony as its chest begins to painfully break outward. Then, Soos suddenly bursts through in a manner directly taken from Ridley Scott's 'Alien' films, even letting out a shrill, Xenomorph-esque squeal and flailing his arms before reverting to passively chewing. He offers some of the creature's candy innards, which catch the ear of the dying Summerween Trickster. Hearing that someone thinks it tastes good – all it ever really wanted – makes it happy, so resigns itself and passes.Shortly thereafter, the little kid who was eaten earlier on also bursts out of the Summerween Trickster's body.
"'Sup, Gorny?"
"I've been twamatized!"
Back at the Mystery Shack, Stan Pines does finally prove himself to be the Master of Fright. When the two stubborn trick-or-treaters have tired of T.P.ing the place, they resolve to go inside and find out the old sheister. Little do they realize, though, that he's readying himself for a bath and walk in on him half naked. Fittingly enough, 'Psycho'-like music strikes up at the sight as they flee screaming into the night. Not only does he get his confidence back, he also lays claim to the bags of candy left behind. All in all, a good Summerween for Stan.Mabel, Dipper, and friends also return to the Mystery Shack, finding Gruncle Stan in his customary chair near the television, watching a late night, horror movie marathon special. Also there, to Dipper's surprise, is Wendy, who relates that the party wasn't so fun after all. Plus, Robbie had to go home early due to choking on the wrong end of a lollipop. (Yup, that boyfriend's a keeper alright.) Dipper is pleased to hear this, but Mabel can't help being disappointed that they have no candy, considering after all the hardship endured that night. Stan pulls out the two claimed bags of candy and generously hands them over to his grandnephew and niece.And so, the rest of Summerween night is spent gathered around the television, eating candy and watching schlocky horror movies. Not a bad way to end the night. Not bad at all.
ahh, holiday quality time with friends and family
We've been thoroughly enjoying Disney's 'Gravity Falls' and "Summerween" only reaffirms our faith in both its endearing animation and creative storytelling. Not to mention how this episode playfully nodded to a number of very adult horror movies in a kid-friendly way. When they're older, someday, they can appreciate that on another level as we can now. For parents who are hardcore horror fans, this is a good way to introduce their children to the genre without scaring the bejeezus out of them.This episode scores five out of five jack o' melons.

Werewolves are a common staple in horror stories and choice in Halloween costumes, and for good reason: they're a classic. Between the mythology and romanticism, they've been engrained in Western culture well since the Middle Ages. And when a storyteller can put their own original spin on the tale that catches our interest, as we're sure it does with yours. So with that in mind we're sharing this music video, "Du Riechst So Gut" by industrial, Berlin metal band Rammstein. Even if you aren't versed in the German language, or necessarily a fan of the musical genre, horror fans can at least appreciate the narrative that is visually told, if nothing else. And given that there is a masquerade party held in this music video, it seemed rather appropriate in light of the season when costumes are customary.

Alright, so as our more avid followers can see, we haven't exactly been keeping the Darkley Niche as up-to-date as desired. So with that in mind, we've decided to start a Twitter account for more current, albeit shorter, posts. Follow along and hopefully you'll enjoy these snippets of our thoughts and comments on all things horror!

Kids might not eat their greens for a different reason all together,
since they won't want dessert after seeing these. Sculptor Scott Hove is a
self-taught artist hailing from San Francisco, California, and has
created these creepy confectionery creatures. Below are but a few
delectable, albeit deadly, morsels for your viewing pleasure. And while you can't actually eat the artwork (as these are made from polyurethane foam and acrylic gel), it certainly looks like it could eat you. Talk about a set of sweet teeth.

Prepping myself for this year's Detroit FanFare, which is coming up in late October. Given the season
that the convention falls in, Marceline the Vampire Queen from 'Adventure Time' felt
appropriate. She was a little tricker, though, since I didn't have just
the right colors for her skin nor mouth, so those were done in
watercolor rather than marker. But the final effect was certainly worth
the effort.
Purchase this original art for $25 USD, which comes
in a plastic protector and includes no additional mailing costs. Contact
me if interested.
Made this sketch card specifically for Detroit Fanfare last year,
which included Bruce Campbell himself as a special guest. Sadly, he
cancelled his Sunday appearance, which is when I had the card finished
and ticket purchased to see him. *sigh* Oh, well. Maybe our paths will cross down the road and then I'll get his autograph on this.
This
particular sketch card is not for sale, at least not for the
conventional $25 USD. I'll be keeping this unless someone really makes
it worth my while. If interested, make me an offer.

Have a happy Mother's Day, from all of us here at the Darkley Niche!
Feeling inclined to watch some Mother's Day horror for the occasion?
Well, look no further than our Seasonal Horror Calendar. Be sure to also browse down the calendar to September as well, for
those of you who have grandmothers (Grandparents Day) and stepmothers
(Stepfamily Day). After all, it's Mother's Day for them too, you know.
Here are a handful of horror film mothers that will make you all the more grateful for your own.

Ouch. *cringes* It's been just shy of a year since our last post, here on the Darkley Niche. Been kept busy dredging away at work like a blue collar zombie. Apologies all around, readers. Without further ado let's get the reagent, because we're about to bring this blog back to life!
Although we've been absent for a considerable length of time from the blog scene, we've been keeping at it with watching and reading horror in both film and literature, respectively. And of course there's still oh so plenty on our to-do list. Here's an abridged rundown of what we've viewed in the more recent months during our hiatus. – We'll try to come back to these later on and write more in-depth reviews or commentaries. Consider this the first entree, so dig in.
__________________________________________
MOVIES
'The Cabin in the Woods' (2012)
When you think you've seen all that horror has to offer, 'The Cabin in the Woods' takes many of the tried and tired subgenres and then turns them on their ear, like your ol' Nanna did when she caught you swearing. I had some inkling of what the premise was, but had only guessed at the tip of the iceberg. This is one film that we can confidently feel safe to say you won't be able to predict. Also, kudos to the filmmaker's nods to 'The Evil Dead' movies and guest cameo, albeit brief, with Sigourney Weaver. This was a fun ride, and it was apparently so for those making it.
'Creature from the Black Lagoon' (1954)
We've been meaning to see this Universal Studios classic for some time, but it wasn't until reading Gary Myers' "Understudy" in the 'Shadows Over Innsmouth' anthology that gave us just the right push. The creature itself, that is, the Gill-man, was an impressive costume, both in its appearance and functionality underwater. Not too many made during the fifties can make that claim. And we've been on a serious H.P. Lovecraft kick with all things Innsmouth, so this really hit the sweet spot. In certain respects, we would even favor this film over 'Dagon' (2001).
'Mary Shelley's Frankenstein' (1994)
Speaking of creatures, here is another movie that features one of its own. This little gem took us by surprise, as we had heard very little about it. And while the names Kenneth Branagh ('Hamlet') and Robert De Niro ('Taxi Driver') don't instantly bring "horror" to mind, it was all pulled off rather well. And there was a rather impressive line-up of actors, ranging from Tom Hulce ('Amadeus') to Ian Holm ('From Hell'). Our only real complaint is that Helena Bonham Carter's ('Sweeney Todd' and 'The Corpse Bride') physical appearance as the Bride was rather disappointing.
'The Thing' (2011)
Having been fans of John Carpenter's 'The Thing', we awaited this prequel with an equal measure of anticipation and trepidation. Admittedly, animatronics and movie make-up will almost always trump CGI in our book. But it wasn't too cumbersome with the latter, which was a relief. And speaking personally, I had to smile when seeing the inclusion of the alien spaceship deep in the Antarctic ice. That hails back to 'The Thing from Another World' (1952) and actually included a number of other bits that I recognized, which were also carried over. It adapted much of what made its two predecessors good movies.
'The Woman in Black' (2012)
When we come back to this film, we'll have to make an attempt at watching the 1989 adaptation, albeit both are based on Susan Hill's novel, much in the same way that both 'The Thing's and likewise 'The Thing from Another World' are with John W. Campbell's novella, "Who Goes There?" Surprisingly, it wasn't hard to watch Daniel Radcliffe without thinking Harry Potter. (If anything, Elijah Woods kept coming to mind.) While his performance was certainly noteworthy, hands down the best part of the film had to be the Eel Marsh House itself. If you've seen it yourself, you'll understand why.
__________________________________________
TELEVISION
AMC's 'The Walking Dead' (2010-present)
'The Walking Dead' has been a mixed bag for most, and while friends of ours have found plenty at fault with it, we still enjoy the series. Could certain changes have been made for the better? Sure. But as far as comic book adaptations goes, this sure beats the hell out of a lot of them. (Seriously. Look at 'Spider-Man's Green Goblin and ask how they go from the illustrated designs to a sorry, Power Ranger knock-off. With a little make up, Willem Dafoe's face would've been fine.) We're still working our way through season two, so it's always possible our opinion might change. We'll see.
John Carpenter's "Cigarette Burns" (2005)
Eighth episode of 'Masters of Horror's second season, "Cigarette Burns" made us think of Robert W. Chambers' 'The King in Yellow' stories, in certain respects. Instead of a play, however, we have a rare film that drives its audience mad. It could also be said that "Cigarette Burns" resembles Carpenter's 'In The Mouth of Madness' (1995), which we loved due to its obvious Lovecraft overtones. Lastly, while Udo Kier makes an appearance his screen time is regrettably kept short. (Coincidentally, this episode happens to star Norman Reedus, who plays a regular on AMC's 'The Walking Dead'.)
'Psych'(2006-present)
Season six of USA's 'Psych' has included some comical homages to horror films, specifically episodes "This Episode Sucks" and "Hereeeee's Lassie". If James Roday and Dule Hill in full costume as 'Interview with the Vampire's Lestat and Blacula isn't enough for fang fans, it also guest stars Corey Feldman ('The Lost Boys'). And while "Hereeeee's Lassie" is essentially a parody of Stanley Kubrick's 'The Shining', there are additional little Easter eggs slipped into the episode, like pregnant neighbor Rosemary ('Rosemary's Baby').
Stephen King's 'Bag of Bones' (2011)
Ugh... Firstly, we're definite fans of Stephen King stories, so make no mistake. 'IT' (1990) the mini-series still ranks among our top horror favorites. But 'Bag of Bones' was nothing if not predictable, as much as we wanted to like it. (SPOILER ALERT) It didn't take much foresight to predict Pierce Brosnan's character was related to the cursed men, for starters. And let's be honest folks, having an author protagonist is a tiresome trend that occurs pretty regularly in King's work. Yes, it was integral to the plot, but come on. Enough with the writer characters, King.
'Adventure Time' (2010-present)
Cartoon Network's series 'Adventure Time' started with an outbreak of candy people zombies, so it was fun to see this idea brought back to life in 3x07a, "From Bad to Worse." Together with the murder mystery in 3x06b, "The Creeps," these two episodes comprised part of Cartoon Network's 2011 Halloween specials. – Speaking for myself, I particularly enjoyed these episodes as they're the closest I can get to watching horror films with my girlfriend.

READING
'Shadows Over Innsmouth'
Published by Del Rey Books and editted by Stephen Jones, this anthology includes seventeen stories all inspired by H.P. Lovecraft's "The Shadow Over Innsmouth," along with that as well. Some are hits, others are misses. But that's to be expected, really, and the hits really make this book worthwhile. "The Big Fish," "Daoine Domhain," and "The Innsmouth Heritage," were among my personal favorites. Be assured that a detailed Darkley Niche review will be in the works.
'Tales Out of Innsmouth'
As mentioned earlier in our two cents on 'Creature from the Black Lagoon', we've been indulging in Innsmouth-inspired stories. And while we haven't yet finished this anthology, shorts such as Gary Myers' "Understudy" have already made this read a worthwhile venture. Additionally, "The Weird Shadow over Innsmouth," which begins the book, was made from fragments of early drafts and reworked into a cohesive narrative by John Glasby. It's offers an interesting insight, although the story itself is a little repetitive, as is to be expected.
'The Whisperer and Other Stories' by Brian Lumley
Referring back to the previous book, this particular anthology is the reason why we put a pause on 'Tales Out of Innsmouth'. If it was to take a vacation from Innsmouth, guess again. "The Return of the Deep Ones," similar to most of those told in 'Shadows Over Innsmouth', spreads their tainted influence over to the shores of Britain. So far, so good. However, we may soon be swapping this for another of Lumley's anthologies, 'Return of the Deep Ones and Other Mythos Tales', and resume reading from there.
__________________________________________
That's all for now, our Darkley Niche faithful, but we hope it is enough to rekindle the embers of those followers who have been patiently awaiting this long-overdue post – like Cthulhu in his deathless sleep. We'll aim to keep this weekly to biweekly, if able. A film or book review may well be in order, come next time we write again. Until then, dream darkly readers.

There has not been any significant prior work on related signaling details of periodic channel state information (CSI) with multiple parallel configurations in the case of multiple component carriers (CCs). Contributions in the Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) tend to focus on extending the physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) payload beyond 11 bits, which would permit new, larger CSI formats.
Activation and deactivation of component carriers has been discussed. There has also been some discussion about the concept of primary and secondary component carriers in radio access network 2 (RAN2): primary component carrier (PCC), and secondary component carrier (SCC), respectively.

Q:
Reading file backward while using variable from first line
I want to read a file back ward while using a variable present in the first line (here: 2636).
My file:
nx_ 2355 ny_ 2636
0.000000 0.000000 0.000000
1.000000 68.000000 0.428139
2.000000 68.000000 0.939878
3.000000 67.000000 0.757181
4.000000 68.000000 0.000000
5.000000 69.000000 -1.229728
To read the file forward, and process it, I used:
cat $1 | awk 'NR==1 {nb=$4} NR>1 {up=nb-$1; print $2,up,$3}'
To read the file backward it seems I should use tac, but I don't know how to retrieve the variable in the first line, and avoid to process the last line.
I am searching for something like this:
tac $1 | awk 'NR==END {nb=$4} NR<END {up=nb-$1; print $2,up,$3}'
I want to have as output:
69.000000 2631 -1.229728
68.000000 2632 0.000000
67.000000 2633 0.757181
68.000000 2634 0.939878
68.000000 2635 0.428139
0.000000 2636 0.000000
A:
Is this what you're trying to do?
$ awk 'NR==1{nb=$4; next} {print $2, nb-$1, $3}' file | tac
69.000000 2631 -1.229728
68.000000 2632 0.000000
67.000000 2633 0.757181
68.000000 2634 0.939878
68.000000 2635 0.428139
0.000000 2636 0.000000
If you really did have to do what you said you wanted to do then that'd be this:
$ read -r _ _ _ nb < file; tail +2 file | tac | awk -v nb="$nb" '{print $2, nb-$1, $3}'
69.000000 2631 -1.229728
68.000000 2632 0.000000
67.000000 2633 0.757181
68.000000 2634 0.939878
68.000000 2635 0.428139
0.000000 2636 0.000000
or this:
$ read -r _ _ _ nb < file; tac file | awk -v nb="$nb" 'NR>1{print p[2], nb-p[1], p[3]} {split($0,p)}'
69.000000 2631 -1.229728
68.000000 2632 0.000000
67.000000 2633 0.757181
68.000000 2634 0.939878
68.000000 2635 0.428139
0.000000 2636 0.000000
or similar but it seems unlikely that's what you really need given the script you posted.
If the above doesn't answer your question then edit your question to clarify your requirements and provide the expected output given your posted sample input.

Si 363
Si 363 is a bifunctional organosilane chemical used in the reinforcement of rubber articles, especially tires. SI363 is the trade name of a silane bonding agent in the trialkoxymercaptoalkyl-silane class and of formula SH(CH2)H3Si(OCHH2CHH3)(O(CHH2CHH2O)H5(CHH2)H12CHH3)H2.
When applied to tires, Si 363 reduces rolling resistance, thus leading to increased fuel economy. Both alkoxsilicon and sulfur entities are present within its molecular structure.

Q:
Using backspace with getch() in python curses
I want the user to be able to type with each character, the way that getch() works. I also have echo() turned on because I want to print out each character that the user types. However, I also want the user to be able to hit backspace and have the key that he pressed before he hit backspace to be deleted from the screen, just like how backspace works in a text editor. How can I do this? I am using python 3.6 with the curses lib (obviously). If you want to see my code so far, here it is:
import curses
# ----- INIT -----
stdscr = curses.initscr()
curses.cbreak()
stdscr.keypad(1)
# ----- PRINT -----
text = "Hello world"
stdscr.addstr(1, 0, text + "\n")
stdscr.refresh()
# ----- MAIN LOOP ------
while 1:
c = stdscr.getch()
if c == ord('q'):
break
# ----- RESET TERMINAL -----
curses.echo()
curses.nocbreak()
stdscr.keypad(1)
curses.endwin()
A:
You could do something like this: disable echo, use explicit library calls to echo the characters other than the usual choices for "backspace":
import curses
# ----- INIT -----
stdscr = curses.initscr()
curses.cbreak()
curses.noecho()
stdscr.keypad(1)
# ----- PRINT -----
text = "Hello world"
stdscr.addstr(1, 0, text + "\n")
stdscr.refresh()
# ----- MAIN LOOP ------
while 1:
c = stdscr.getch()
if c == ord('q'):
break
if c == 8 or c == 127 or c == curses.KEY_BACKSPACE:
stdscr.addstr("\b \b")
else:
stdscr.addch(c)
# ----- RESET TERMINAL -----
curses.echo()
curses.nocbreak()
stdscr.keypad(1)
curses.endwin()
The Python curses reference does not go into much detail for addch, but since it is a wrapper around curses, you can read its manual page about the way the literal backspace \b is interpreted to make the cursor move backward. The example then writes a space (erasing whatever was there), and then moves the cursor back onto the empty space.

A new subfamily, Bothriocrotoninae n. subfam., for the genus Bothriocroton Keirans, King & Sharrad, 1994 status amend. (Ixodida: Ixodidae), and the synonymy of Aponomma Neumann, 1899 with Amblyomma Koch, 1844.
Evidence suggesting polyphyly of the traditionally recognised tick genus Aponomma Neumann, 1899 is summarized. Continued recognition of this genus in its current concept leaves a polyphyletic genus Aponomma and a paraphyletic genus Amblyomma Koch, 1844. To improve the correlation between our understanding of phylogenetic relationships in metastriate ticks and their classification, a few changes in classification are proposed. The members of the 'indigenous Australian Aponomma' group (sensu Kaufman, 1972), A. auruginans Schulze, 1936, A. concolor Neumann, 1899, A. glebopalma Keirans, King & Sharrad, 1994, A. hydrosauri (Denny, 1843) and A. undatum (Fabricius, 1775), are transferred to Bothriocroton Keirans, King & Sharrad, 1994, which is raised to full generic rank. The remaining members of Aponomma are transferred to Amblyomma. Uncertainty remains on relationships of Bothriocroton to other metastriate lineages and on the systematic position of the two species formerly included in the 'primitive Aponomma' group, A. elaphense Price, 1959 and A. sphenodonti Dumbleton, 1943.

Studies on long-term effects of two peroxisome proliferators inducing high and low carcinogenic activities respectively, indicated that factors other than oxidative injury may be important in the carcinogeneity of such chemicals. Speculation on the existence of specific receptors for mediating the action of peroxisome proliferators has recently been supported by the isolation of new members of the steroid hormone receptor superfamily which are activated by peroxisome proliferators: the mouse peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR), the Xenopus laevis PPAR and the rat PPAR. Moreover, it has been shown that PPARs are capable of activating the promoter of the rat acyl coenzyme A oxidase gene, the key enzyme of peroxisomal fatty acid beta-oxidation, and mediates the induction of rabbit CYP4A6, a cytochrome P450 fatty acid omega- hydroxylase, by clofibric acid. This activation is carried out through specific response elements that have recently been identified. Our approach has been to examine whether differences between human and mouse PPAR could account for the marked differences in responsiveness to peroxisome proliferators on human hepatocarcinogenesis. To achieve this goal, we isolated the human PPAR from a human liver cDNA library and compared its structure and ability to activate the ACO response element with that of mouse PPAR. B-lymphoblastoid cells were used to construct a system which can be easily used to determine whether a chemical will be a peroxisome proliferator. The system uses an episomally-replicating plasmid containing the human PPAR cDNA under control of the thymidine kinase gene promoter, and a reporter gene having a PPAR response element driving expression of the CYP2A6 cDNA. A variety of constructs and promoters were tested to achieve maximal differences between untreated and peroxisome proliferator-treated cells.

Metro trains have run red lights dozens of times since the beginning of 2012, according to federal officials, who said more needs to be done to reduce the dangerous trend. (Linda Davidson/The Washington Post)
Metro operator No. 012008 had been on the job for eight months when she hopped into the cab of the wrong train on July 4, hit the power and ran a red light on her way to pick up passengers headed for celebrations on the Mall.
Two months later, in September 2014, a Silver Line train operator with 11 years of experience rolled through a red signal and stopped just before a stretch of track that seconds earlier had an oncoming train.
This month , an operator ran a light near the Smithsonian Metro station and came to a stop only after realizing that his train was on a collision course with another train. He stopped 189 feet short of the second train, which was waiting at the platform, loaded with passengers.
There have been at least 47 “red signal violations” since the beginning of 2012, according to the Federal Transit Administration, which took responsibility for the safety of Metro’s rail system last year and cited the “pervasiveness and seriousness of this problem,” despite years of warnings and efforts to address it.

The question is: Why? How can something so critical, and potentially dangerous, keep happening?
The answer, according to dozens of incident reports and the results of an outside investigation obtained through public records requests, has plenty of intricacies and contributing factors, and one unifying theme: Like most of us, Metrorail train operators sometimes tune out and get lost in their thoughts. The difference is that they are responsible for the lives of hundreds of people riding in 200-ton trains. Sometimes they sink into habit, move by instinct and fail to see what’s right before their eyes, investigators found.
The repeated human errors, and their effect on safety, prompted Metro officials to hire a neuroscientist and an outside safety expert to try to tease out exactly what is causing the lapses. While the hazards of multitasking, such as using a cellphone while driving, are well known, researchers have found that simply thinking about something else is enough to be a real distraction.
“A lot of times, people don’t realize that when they’re tuning out — and it can be something as simple as mind wandering — people don’t realize this actually puts them at risk,” said Daniel Smilek, an associate professor of cognitive neuroscience at the University of Waterloo in Ontario.
Smilek and partner Randall Jamieson, who run the Atticus Consulting Group, were hired by Metro to help translate the latest academic findings to the transit agency’s real-world problem. “We can show that basically whenever you mind wander, even in very simple tasks, your performance will deteriorate in those tasks,” Smilek said.
The draft findings from their investigation point to numerous “attention-related errors.” Time after time, Metro operators took off from a platform or other stop “without full conscious awareness” of what they were doing, the consultants found. Operators, supervisors and managers also lack an “understanding of how human attention works and under what circumstances it is likely to fail.”
Similar challenges trouble Transportation Security Administration agents gazing at X-ray images and surgeons peering into incisions. But for Metro, which faces broader management and safety issues highlighted by its botched handling of a deadly smoke incident last year, the problem has raised concerns about whether other safety procedures are being followed.

[Metro fans pulled smoke toward passengers on train at L’Enfant]
The Tri-State Oversight Committee, a safety panel made up of officials from Maryland, Virginia and the District, has pressed Metro for years to tackle the problem aggressively, arguing that whatever it is about Metro that allows repeated red-light running could also lead to unsafe behavior elsewhere.
“We would characterize all red signal violations as a hazardous circumstance, close call, or near miss,” the oversight group said in a statement. “Such patterns of noncompliance may indicate systemic issues regarding the culture of rule compliance and enforcement.”
What one operator called “a big rush-rush culture” in the nation’s second-busiest subway proved to be “a significant systemic cause” in most cases of red-light running, the Atticus investigation concluded. The report also pointed to inadequate supervision of operators and controllers, leading to continued miscommunication.
Critical ‘perceptual error’
The causes are multifaceted, and even those at fault sometimes cannot believe what investigators found.
An operator who ran a red light between the Reagan National Airport and Crystal City Metro stations in August 2014 became “extremely defensive” when pressed on the circumstances, according to the report.
He insisted that he had not run the red light. He was certain he had the rail equivalent of a green light.
But a technical re-creation provided “irrefutable evidence to the contrary,” according to the consultants, who said they were worried about the operator’s “ongoing refusal” to acknowledge his responsibility — or reality.
So they walked him through it, framed more as a lesson than an inquisition.
The root cause? He made his train announcements, shut the doors, sat down and immediately pushed the accelerator without paying proper attention.
There also was a critical “perceptual error.”
Metro was single-tracking, meaning that trains going opposite directions must wait their turn. Based on experience, they found, the operator “had the expectation that he would depart” just after the opposing train arrived.
Which he did. Right through a red light.
He had no idea a second train was trailing the first, also headed his way. Additional safety systems kicked in, and he was instructed to pull back out of the way.
The consultants also cited a “systemic cause.”
It “may have been prudent,” they wrote, for the Rail Operations Control Center to share more information. It was a “novel situation” to be “fleeting” a pair of trains toward the airport, and the operator could have used that information.
‘One is not acceptable’
Metro officials emphasize that they have a multilayered system to keep passengers safe, including technology designed to stop trains when humans fall short. And oversight officials say they have seen no examples of the automated technology failing in red-light incidents.
But the systems don’t help in all situations.
In this month’s incident near Smithsonian, the train was moving in the reverse direction to avoid a problem ahead. The operator misheard an instruction from his controller about which station to go to. When the operator repeated the mangled instruction, the controller didn’t catch the mistake, allowing the operator to head toward the wrong station. While headed there, he ran the red-light signal.
The safety system does not take over in such circumstances, officials said. But the operator, traveling at 10 mph, was able to stop in time.
Metro’s deputy general manager, Rob Troup, in an interview Feb. 11, hours before announcing his resignation, said behavioral concerns are universal. In recent years, Metro increased training and added placards in train cabs reminding operators that red means “STOP YOUR TRAIN.”
In “every operating environment — whether it be aviation, freight railroads, transit railroads, class-one railroads, truck drivers, it doesn’t matter — the human-error element is the hardest thing that you deal with,” Troup said. Management, engineering, audits, rules and procedures all have a role in eliminating the incidents, he said.
Citing “an exchange of information we have with other properties,” Troup said that Metro has “significantly” fewer red-light violations than its peers, although he declined to name the other systems. Still, he said, “it’s not acceptable to me. One is not acceptable to me.”
The Federal Transit Administration said in a statement that such violations are not systematically reported to its transit database, making it “difficult to compare different rail transit agencies.”
Still, the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority has a problem, the FTA said.
“Red signal violations are a serious safety concern and WMATA’s trend line is going in the wrong direction. WMATA had more red signal overruns in 2015 than in either of the preceding two years,” according to the statement.
‘Operating on autopilot’
Back on July 4, 2014, things were “particularly hectic” at the Shady Grove rail yard in suburban Maryland, the consultants found.
An official responsible for guiding train operators through the vast yard was distracted by a disabled train and the gargantuan task of carrying tens of thousands of holiday revelers. It was also operator No. 012008’s first time working there.
She was supposed to hop aboard a train on Track 15 but boarded one on Track 14 instead.
The operator twice radioed the operations official with the number of the signal in front of her, a basic safety step. But the official didn’t notice that she was saying the wrong signal number, because she was on the wrong track, and didn’t try to stop her.
The operator said later that she “was just trusting the tower” when she hit the accelerator. No one was hurt. The guiding official was “disqualified” from the job. The operator was retrained.
The consultants, hired for $19,800, reexamined and rewrote 11 of Metro’s investigative reports and found that officials rarely delved into crucial questions of mental readiness and sometimes reached the wrong conclusion.
In one case, Metro officials told an operator traveling for the first time in a District rail yard that “you were not focused and paying attention to the safe operation of your train.”
But the consultants said the new operator was actually so anxious about being on unfamiliar ground and so focused on finding the right place to stop that he was “effectively psychologically blind” to the red light.
Another operator was, in essence, too familiar with the station where she ran the light.
“The more you do it, the more you relax from thinking,” she told the Atticus investigators, who concluded that as time goes by, she is “likely to rely on her habitual, routine past experiences — in other words ‘operating on autopilot.’ ”
For a Silver Line operator and 11-year veteran, her near miss came after a supervisor cut short her break and then spurred her further by saying she was “due off platform a couple minutes ago,” the consultants found.
[Read the report on the Silver Line near miss]
To address the “big rush-rush culture,” Metro recently tweaked its schedule to allow operators more time to do train walk-arounds and safety checks before their first run. Metro also set up a new system in which operators can hand off their train to a fresh colleague at the end of the line “should an operator need relief.”
After finding examples of stress and excitability among operators, Atticus also said operators need better training to handle such “adverse mental states.” Metro is considering that.
Minutes before her break was truncated, the Silver Line operator had another jolt. Her supervisor told her that she must “submit an incident report in response to a complaint that had been levied against her by a fellow employee as a result of an altercation” that day, the report said.
Just before she ran the light, she was worrying about being disciplined, she recalled, although she didn’t think it caused her mistake. The consultants weren’t so sure. They said they have investigated numerous errors “shortly after a worrisome or disturbing communication” from a boss or relative.
When you’re thinking about something other than the job at hand, Smilek said, “some of your processing capacity is taken up,” particularly when something affects you deeply. Like a bank account, a brain’s processing power has limits, he said. “You can’t allocate it to too many things, otherwise you just run out of money.”

Q:
how to update record in rails controller
am using stripe for users to subscribe. from there i collected the stripe date and save it in subscription mode. i created enum for my user model to assign different roles base on the stripe subscription id.
here is how my user model looks like
class User < ApplicationRecord
enum role: [:user, :gold, :platinum, :diamond ]
has_one :subscription
has_one :shipping
extend FriendlyId
friendly_id :firstname, use: [:slugged, :finders]
# Include default devise modules. Others available are:
# :confirmable, :lockable, :timeoutable and :omniauthable
devise :database_authenticatable, :registerable,
:recoverable, :rememberable, :trackable, :validatable
end
and bellow is my subscription controller
def subscription_checkout
user = current_user
plan_id = params[:plan_id]
plan = Stripe::Plan.retrieve(plan_id)
# This should be created on signup.
customer = Stripe::Customer.create(
description: 'Customer for test@example.com',
source: params[:stripeToken],
email: 'test@example.com'
)
# Save this in your DB and associate with the user;s email
stripe_subscription = customer.subscriptions.create(plan: plan.id)
@sub = Subscription.create(plan: stripe_subscription.plan.name,
stripeid: stripe_subscription.id,
user_id: current_user.id,
customer: stripe_subscription.customer,
subscriptionenddate: stripe_subscription.current_period_end)
if @sub.save
current_user.role plan.id
current_user.save
flash[:success] = 'sub created!'
redirect_to root_url
else
render 'new'
end
end
when it reach to update the role i get
ArgumentError: wrong number of arguments (1 for 0)
how can i update the role and what am i doing wrong?
A:
Have you tried: current_user.role = plan.id ?
It looks like you are just calling the role() method on the curent_user object.

1. Field of the Invention
The invention relates to jet receivers for electrohydraulic servovalves or the like and refers more specifically to a method of producing a laminated receiver plug assembly and the laminated receiver plug assembly produced by the method.
2. Description of the Prior Art
In the past, jet pipe receivers have generally been solid members having passages machined therein which passages usually have extended first axially into one end of the receiver structure and then radially through opposite sides thereof. The axially extending portions of the receiver structure passages have generally been round in cross section and separated by an extremely thin divider portion at the point of receiving fluid from a jet pipe. The divider portion has necessarily been required to be constructed to close tolerances. Such tolerances are difficult to maintain, particularly in view of the relatively small dimensions of some jet pipe receivers, their passages, and the divider portion between some passages therein. Further, the round cross section of the axially extending portions of the prior receiver structure passages have made prior jet pipe receivers sensitive to nozzle misalignment in the direction of extent of the divider portion.
Therefore, a good deal of waste material and machining hours have been accumulated in production of prior jet pipe receivers due to the tolerance limitations and size of such receivers and the usual method of production of the receivers by conventional machining. Also, the jet pipe receivers produced by conventional machining from solid metal have not been as uniform and therefore as efficient as desired and have been more expensive than necessary.

White House disputes claims that Trump aide's tweet violated federal ethics law Some have said Dan Scavino's tweet was an infraction under Hatch Act
WASHINGTON, D.C. -- The White House is disputing allegations by former government lawyers that a tweet by a top Trump aide violated a federal law against government employees engaging in political activity.
The tweet by social media director Dan Scavino targeted Rep. Justin Amash, a Republican member of the House Freedom Caucus and a vocal critic of President Trump. Scavino openly called for Amash's defeat in a primary.
Amash responded, accusing the Trump administration of employing tactics used by the "Republican establishment."
"Same old agenda: Attack conservatives, libertarians & independent thinkers," Amash tweeted.
The exchange led to a response from former Obama White House lawyer Daniel Jacobson, who said Scavino's tweet violated the Hatch Act, a Depression-era law designed to prevent government officials from using their official positions to influence voters.
A White House official said because Scavino used a "personal" Twitter account and not his government account he didn't violate the law.
"Dan Scavino's tweet does not violate the Hatch Act as it clearly comes from his personal account and not his official White House account," the official said. "He created an official account upon entering the White House to ensure compliance with the Hatch Act and he has taken the necessary steps to ensure there is a clear distinction between both Twitter accounts."
But other former government lawyers dispute that Scavino's account can be considered his "personal" account.
Richard Painter, a former ethics czar in the George W. Bush White House who joined a lawsuit against the Trump Administration for allegedly violating the emoluments clause, said Scavino's account "cannot be loaded up with official stuff and then used for partisan politics."
However, after his tweet Scavino changed the cover photo of his Twitter account, which included a picture of President Trump speaking at a podium with the presidential seal. By Sunday afternoon, it had been replaced with a new picture of the president but without the presidential seal.
The White House official did not answer why Scavino chose to change his profile picture. The Office of Special Counsel, tasked with enforcing Hatch Act violations, did not respond to ABC's request for comment.

Q:
dSPACE ControlDesk error - No free memory available.[0.000]
When using a large sampling rate, no data could be measured (displayed yes but not plotted/stored) and I get the following error from the log file:
ControlDesk NG Platform: Error 16:19:41 0,0:No free memory available.[0.000] (0xCA,1)
dSPACE used - RT1104
ControlDesk version - 5.5
Operating System details:
A:
It is indeed coming from the Real-TimePlatform.
The memory depends on the number of measured signals, the raster speed and the dureation trigger length in the ControlDesk measurment configuration. On the hardware, a buffer is created to be able to hold one entire trigger shot, which may fail if it does not fit to the RAM.
Often a long trigger duration is used causing this problem. Then, the soultion is to measure continuously, which the user most of the time wants instead.
See http://www.dspace.com/faq?408
15kHz is quite fast for the ds1104, by the way, try with litte # of measurements if it works.
Regards, the dspace support :)

Q:
Optimize SQL query multiple joins with count tables
By any chance you would be able to help optimize this query without me showing you the tables?
My original table that all of these queries are derived from has the following columns and the table is named laterec-students
--------------------------------------------------------------
| studentid | name | class | latetime | waived |
--------------------------------------------------------------
| ID1111STU | Stu 1 | 1A |2012-01-09 08:09:00 |Waived |
SELECT A.class, NoStudentsLate, 1xLATE, 2xLATE FROM (
SELECT
class,
count(DISTINCT studentid) AS NoStudentsLate
FROM `laterec-students`
WHERE waived!="Waived"
GROUP BY class
) AS A
LEFT JOIN (
SELECT class, count(distinct studentid) AS 1xLATE from (
SELECT `laterec-students`.class, `laterec-students`.studentid
FROM `laterec-students`
WHERE waived!="Waived"
GROUP BY studentid
HAVING count(studentid)=1) as temp
GROUP BY class
) AS B ON A.class=B.class
LEFT JOIN (
SELECT class, count(distinct studentid) AS 2xLATE from (
SELECT `laterec-students`.class, `laterec-students`.studentid
FROM `laterec-students`
WHERE waived!="Waived"
GROUP BY studentid
HAVING count(studentid)=2) as temp
GROUP BY class
) AS C ON A.class=C.class
This is what I am trying to accomplish
---------------------------------------------------------------------
| Class | Total # of students late | # late 1 times | # late 2 times |
---------------------------------------------------------------------
| 1A | 5 | 3 | 2 |
| 1B | 3 | 3 | 0 |
---------------------------------------------------------------------
So what this means, in class 1A, there are a total of 5 student late as counted using the student id. Out of this 5, 3 students are late once, and 2 students are late twice.
Again in class 1B, total 3 students are late, and all of them are only late once.
A:
I hope that I understood your query, but the following works with my SQL Fiddle example.
SELECT
class,
SUM(cnt > 0) AS NoStudentsLate,
SUM(cnt = 1) AS 1xLate,
SUM(cnt = 2) AS 2xLate
FROM
(
SELECT class, studentid, COUNT(*) AS cnt
FROM `laterec-students`
WHERE waived!='Waived'
GROUP BY class, studentid
) t
GROUP BY class;

CELTIC’S Champions League exploits have earned them a place among the 40 richest clubs in world football.
But financial experts Deloitte, who compiled the annual Football Money League, warned the SPFL’s meagre TV deal means the Hoops are banging their heads against a glass ceiling and will struggle to gatecrash the billion-pound top 20.
The study for season 2012-13 showed Celtic enjoyed a bumper 48 per cent increase in revenue to £75.8million.
Much of that was attributed to their progress to the last 16 of Europe’s elite competition and strong fanbase, with Parkhead packed out for a string of glamour ties.
However, they’re still left trailing in the financial stakes by the game’s superpowers, with the top 30 all generating more than £100m.
Spanish giants Real Madrid took the No.1 spot for the ninth consecutive year thanks to income of £444.7m.
Manchester United dropped out of the top three for the first time – Bayern Munich
leapfrogging them with earnings £369.6m – and Liverpool failed to make the top 10 for the first time since 1999-2000.
Deloitte only compile placings for the 20 wealthiest clubs but confirmed Celtic are in the top 40. Despite the Parkhead outfit’s domestic dominance though, broadcast income is the main issue hampering their ability to keep pace with the world’s highest earners.
SPFL TV revenue is less than one per cent of the English top flight’s while in La Liga, Real Madrid earned £161.4m from broadcast rights alone.
A Deloitte spokesman said: “Celtic are among the 40 highest revenue-generating football clubs in the world, having achieved £75.8m in 2012-13, an uplift of £24.5m (48 per cent) on the previous year.
“The revenue increase was driven by the club’s progress to the knockout stages of the Champions League.
“This delivered substantial UEFA central distributions and contributed to an increase in match-day revenues due to a higher number of home games at Celtic Park, with a total of 30 in 2012-13 compared to 24 in the previous season.
“While domestic league broadcast contract values are a fraction of those for leagues in larger European markets, restricting Celtic’s ability to compete for a top-20 position in the Money League, the club continues to benefit from a strong supporter base, with an average home league match attendance of 46,754.”
England boasted six clubs in the top 20 – both Manchester teams, Chelsea, Arsenal,
Liverpool and Spurs.
This year’s findings, which exclude player transfer fees, show a total combined revenue for the top 20 of a massive £5.4billion (up eight per cent).
It includes two new entries – Turkish pair Galatasaray (16th) and Fenerbahce (18th) – from clubs outside Europe’s big five leagues for the first time.
TOP 10 RICHEST CLUBS
1 Real Madrid £444.7m
2 Barcelona £413.6m
3 Bay Munich £369.6m
4 Man Utd £363.2m
5 PSG £341.8m
6 Man City £271m
7 Chelsea £260m
8 Arsenal £243.6m
9 Juventus 233.5m
10 AC Milan £225.8m

To click or not to click: learning to teach to the microwave generation.
Teachers in higher education are faced with unique challenges associated with contemporary learners. Students entering college today have enjoyed a technology rich environment that has socialized them towards expectations of rapid information exchange, instant gratification, and a tendency towards reduced or non-textbook reading. Furthermore, the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 in the USA has imprinted the notion that education should be directed towards teaching to the examination. Advances in technology have also provided educators with a host of gadgets to augment instruction. However, the majority of nursing faculty members are from a generation that may be resistant to welcoming newfangled electronic tools. The purpose of this article is to discuss the pedagogical method of using clicker technology in theory courses to achieve desired learning outcomes. A paradigm case and narrative are included to describe a resulting effect on teaching.

Lyudmila Evgenyevna Ulitskaya (Russian: Людмила Евгеньевна Улицкая, born February 21, 1943) is an internationally acclaimed modern Russian novelist and short-story writer who, in 2014, was awarded the prestigious Austrian State Prize for European Literature for her oeuvre. In 2006 she published Daniel Stein, Interpreter (Даниэль Штайн, переводчик), a novel dealing with the Holocaust and the need for reconciliation between Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. Ulitskaya herself belongs to a group of people formed by the realities of the former Soviet Union, who see themselves ethnically and culturally as Jews, while having adopted Christianity as their religion.[1]
Contents
Ulitskaya was born in the town of Davlekanovo in Bashkiria and grew up in Moscow where she received a degree in genetics from the Moscow State University. Having worked in the field of genetics and biochemistry, Ulitskaya began her literary career by joining the Jewish drama theatre as a literary consultant. Her first published short fiction appeared in 1990.[2] Today, Lyudmila Ulitskaya divides her time between Moscow and Israel.[3]
In her fiction, Ulitskaya seemingly describes and observes her characters at an equal distance from each one. Rather than going in for character development or delving into the tortured workings of her characters’ psyches otherwise perceived as the hallmark of Russian writing, Ulitskaya favors capsule descriptions, though she acknowledges that her characters are tortured. Generally speaking, she makes little use of dialogue. Masha Gessen, in her tribute article in The New Yorker in October 2014, finds that Ulitskaya's writing makes for compelling, addictive reading. Gessen reports that she was driven entirely by the desire to learn what happens next.[2]
Among her interlinked themes are: the need for religious and ethnic tolerance; the problem of the intelligentsia in Soviet culture; how women shape new gender roles in society; and everyday life as a literary subject.
Ulitskaya authored two movie scripts produced in the early 1990s: The Liberty Sisters (Сестрички Либерти, 1990) and A Woman for All (Женщина для всех, 1991). She regularly publishes commentary on social issues and is actively involved in philanthropic projects increasing access to literature. In March 2014 Ulitskaya was among the key speakers at the Moscow Anti-War demonstration.
Ulitskaya's first novella, Sonechka (Сонечка), published in Novy Mir in 1992, almost immediately became extremely popular, and was shortlisted for the Russian Booker Award. Her works have been translated into several languages including English, and received several international and Russian literary awards, including the Russian Booker for The Kukotsky Enigma[4] (Казус Кукоцкого; 2001). Ulitskaya was the first woman to receive this distinguished prize.
In Germany her novels have been added to bestseller lists thanks to the featuring of her works on a television program hosted by literary critic Elke Heidenreich. Today her writing is much admired by the general reading public and critics in Russia and many other countries.[citation needed]

David Karp (pomologist)
David Karp (born 1958) is an active pomologist, traveler and writer, who calls himself a Fruit detective.
David is the son of Harvey Karp, a businessman, whose East Hampton home was reputed to be a palace. He was fluent in Latin when he graduated from high school. At 20, while majoring in medieval art studies at Wesleyan University, he published a translation of the 6th-century Latin author Venantius Fortunatus.
After graduation, he started a career in risk arbitrage and option trading on Wall Street, has worked for gourmet specialty store Citarella and acted as a provisioner for Dean & DeLuca. Recovering from a serious drug addiction, he changed course and began a new career as a freelance fruit writer.
Karp moved to California in 1999.
Writings
Karp's photographs and writings appear in his weekly column, Market Watch, at the Los Angeles Times, and he has written articles for The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Gourmet, Smithsonian, Sunset, Star-Ledger and Saveur publications. He has been a guest on the Saturday morning food show on radio station KCRW.
When the threat of citrus greening first appeared in the U.S., Karp wrote in the New York Times to alert the public of the disease's risks.
Projects
Citrus Documentation at CVC
Karp is an associate in the Agricultural Experiment Station at the University of California, Riverside, working to photograph and document the more than 1,000 varieties grown at the Citrus Variety Collection of the University of California. Displayed on the CVC website], these photos are accessible to researchers throughout the world.
Citrus germplasm in China
He helped co-found the Chinese Citrus Germplasm Repository in Jiangshui (about 50 miles from Kunming), province of Yunnan.
Bunyard Orchard
David Karp and Andy Mariani are co-founders of the Bunyard Orchard of heirloom stone fruit in Morgan Hill, California.
Unforbidden Fruit
Karp became involved as a researcher in a joint project between the University of California, Riverside and the USDA to prevent smuggling of fruit into California that may harbor insects that could threaten the state’s fruit industry. The project —Unforbidden Fruits: Preventing Citrus Smuggling by Introducing Varieties Culturally Significant to Ethnic Communities—focuses on making disease-free germplasm of citrus and non-citrus fruit available to Californian nurseries and tree farmers, to replace the illicit demand.
A non-citrus fruit that the project has targeted is "tejocote" (Crataegus mexicana, sometimes called Crataegus pubescens), a fruit that is grown in the highlands of Mexico. Because it was not being grown in the U.S., it was often smuggled into the country and sold to Mexicans who wanted to use it to serve the traditional fruit drink called ponche at Christmastime. Now that tejocote is being grown legally in California, much of the smuggling into the country has dropped off.
RosBREED
Karp is a member of the "extension advisory panel" for RosBREED, an organization dedicated to improving rosaceae crops through marker assisted crossbreeding.
Fruits of interest
Mangosteen
Karp has written several articles on the availability of the mangosteen in the United States, due to fears they harbor the Asian fruit fly. He wrote articles in the New York Times announcing the renewed U.S. law on July 23, 2007, when irradiated imports from Thailand were allowed upon USDA approval, and one following its trade at the local markets.
Greengage plum
David believes the greengage plum is the most delicious fruit on the world, and traveled to Moissac, France (its primary center of cultivation), to investigate it.

Sleep In The Heart Of Flushing?
Considering the surfeit of extra-inning affairs the Mets have brought us in 2013, you might think something called the Citi Field Sleepover would seem superfluous. Yet the Mets scheduled one (as you may have picked up on from the handful of commercials they ran for it every five minutes), and a hardy band of Mets fans couldn’t have been happier to have plunked down a pretty penny to camp out under the Flushing sky this past Saturday night, with food, entertainment and a once-in-a-lifetime experience all included.
[1]
Aftermath of a Civil War reenactment? Nah, it’s the Citi Field Sleepover.
A pair of those Metsopotamian loyalists taking the Mets up on their unusual offer consisted of two of Faith and Fear’s favorite people: Rob and Ryder Chasin, father and son who came to our attention in the fall of 2009 when Ryder celebrated his Bar Mitzvah at an otherwise deserted ballpark and invited a flattered yours truly to the festivities[2]. Since then, the Princes and Chasins have made a point of getting together at least once per season, almost inevitably watching the Mets and Rockies tangle on a Tuesday night in August.
When Stephanie and I were at the game with them last week[3], I learned the guys were going to be part of the Citi Field Sleepover. Thus I prevailed upon Ryder — these days a distinguished high school newspaper editor recently returned from a summer journalism program at Northwestern University — to serve as FAFIF’s special correspondent and let us know what this thing was all about.
Here is the stellar report Ryder Chasin filed after his and his dad’s night under the stars.
***
The Mets often keep us lying awake at night for the wrong reason.
Despite recent improvements, more than half the time they’ve played this year, they’ve lost. They’ve given up approximately a couple of dozen more runs than they’ve scored. And with nearly two months left in the season, the Braves sit above them on a pile of games a discouraging 18 wins high.
Yet Saturday night, as sleeping bags littered the Citi Field grass from foul line to foul line, fringed by a tent-decorated warning track, I didn’t want to go to sleep at all.
Maybe it was because I wasn’t tired. Maybe it was because my adolescent self thought I should be fit enough to pull an all-nighter. Maybe it was simply because I wanted to act contrary to the name of the event, “Citi Field Sleepover.”
In any case, I think I didn’t want to sleep because, amidst the many Met nightmares, it was a night surreal enough to feel like a dream. And if that was the case, if it was a dream, then I didn’t want to wake up.
The surrealistic element of the night came once my dad and I got onto the field, but we didn’t actually start en medias res. We started outside McFadden’s, behind a Shake Shack-long line of the rest of the sleepover faithful, trying to peer above heads and caps and camping packs to guesstimate the wait time until we got in. The “Sleepover Information” packet told us to get there between 5 and 6 PM, and so, evidently just like the other 398 fans on hand, we tried to beat the rush.
At the end of the 45-minute pileup, we passed through a makeshift security checkpoint and presented our waivers — yes, we had to sign waivers — to a bouncer in a maroon polo, the highlight of any sleepover.
But after that, we were in. We were in Citi Field, on a night when the Mets were in another time zone. We were trailblazers, unabashedly tearing down the wall between stadium and dormitory, outfield grass and mattress, Jumbotron and home theater.
And, furthermore, we were hungry.
So, I fixed a plate with a couple of Nathan’s franks, a few slices of Two Boots pizza and a pile of the “Field of Dreams salad” — though it didn’t live up to its cinematic predecessor, as I only dreamed that it had been built with fewer shredded carrots. Top that off with four or five bottles of water, and I had a Citi Field retail-price meal enough to be the showcase on The Price is Right. My dad’s just happy it came with the cost of admission.
On a full stomach, we made our way down to the Bullpen Gate and, quicker than I expected, to the opening in the outfield wall where we witnessed the grand, eye-level unveiling of Citi Field. Already, the grass was covered with blankets and pillows and people, and so we set up camp right in front of second base, close enough to touch the infield dirt if we had been so graciously permitted (curse those darn waivers).
[4]
Ryder Chasin and Ed Kranepool do not let the lack of a 7 come between them.
As we were finishing our setup, my dad noticed a young Mets fan, no more than 10 yards away, handing a ball and a pen to an older man in dress shoes. It was Ed Kranepool. Wearing my FAFIF shirt, I went over to take a picture with the former all-time Met hits leader.
“I don’t pick which numbers they retire,” I said, smiling. “I only wear the shirt.”
Kranepool was my first of two ex-Met pictures on the night, as I snagged one later with Edgardo Alfonzo. Most of the rest of the photography and video, however, was captured at the hallowed Dunk Tank, as I was pressured by my loving father, once again, to hit the target in the center of the clown. It took two turns in line, but I hit the peg with a 73 MPH heater, only to be outdone when a college kid in a Stonybrook T-shirt hit it at 76. We shared a playful acknowledgment of our Dunk Tank prowess, and, while he beat me in speed on the one that counts, I did reach 77 on a throw a few inches off-target. Chalk one up for personal pride, I guess.
We returned to the outfield grass around 8 o’clock to watch the game broadcast on the scoreboard, and stayed there long enough into the game for me to catch my first ever “Pepsi t-shirt launch” t-shirt, though my odds were admittedly a little better than usual. But before too long, my dad and I went back upstairs to sit in the stands and watch the rest of Zack Wheeler’s excellence, Juan Lagares’s sudden opposite-field power and — as Gary Cohen called it — LaTroy Hawkins’s “reluctant” but successful closing.
After the game, and after a trip to Mo’s Zone for midnight snacks, the second half of the double feature began. Although we were shown Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs, there were neither clouds nor meatballs in the New York night sky. Only stars.
That’s when it became surreal.
Lying down in the Citi Field grass, under a starlit sky in the heart of Queens, I realized how ridiculous the whole night was. Four hundred people left the comfort of their homes and their beds for a night to sleep on cold, hard ground. But not just any cold, hard ground. The Mets’ cold, hard ground. The same cold, hard ground where Johan Santana threw his no-hitter; where — to the possible dismay of Mr. Kranepool — David Wright set a new all-time Met hit record; where Matt Harvey continues to contend for the Cy Young; and where the Mets will, fingers crossed, someday win a World Series.
And for the next 50 years — or however long Citi Field sticks around — I can point from my seats at the ballpark or at the screen at a friend’s house and say that I slept right there, right behind second base, close enough to touch the infield dirt (if the waiver had let me).
When the movie was over, both scoreboards played a looping animation of a cartoon sheep jumping over a fence with an eerily superimposed Mr. Met head over where the sheep’s head should have been. Written above it was, “Get some sleep/Count some sheep.”
This mildly unsettling animation, coupled with fathers and sons still playing catch in the outfield, made counting sheep a bit difficult — let alone getting sleep. But I didn’t want to get sleep anyway.
Sure, the Mets give us a lot worth sleeping through between their string of sub-.500 records and generally underwhelming offense. But Saturday night, watching Wheeler from the outfield grass, I understood:
All that sleep doesn’t come void of dreams, even if those dreams might sometimes leave us a little less orange and a little more blue.
This time, luckily enough, I think I erred on the side of orange.

Q:
Change the check box position
In the view I've browse file and check box currenlty the check Box is above the browse control and I want it to be in the left side of it,how should I change it?
<div class="form-group">
@Html.LabelFor(model => model.Cert, new { @class = "control-label col-md-2" })
<div class="col-md-10">
@if (Model.Certificate !=null)
{
<input type="checkbox" checked="checked" disabled="disabled" />
}
else
{
<input type="checkbox" disabled="disabled" />
}
<input type="file" name=ficateFile />
</div>
</div>
A:
Without seeing your full code and css this is a tricky thing to answer however perhaps you could try this?
input[type=checkbox], input[type=file] {
display: inline-block;
}
If that doesnt work you could allways split the checkbox and file upload into 2 columns eg
<div class="form-group">
<div class="col-md-2"></div> <!-- Label -->
<div class="col-md-2"></div> <!-- Checkbox -->
<div class="col-md-8"></div> <!-- File Upload -->

Q:
Was Valentino the first person to be called ‘sexy’?
According Etymonline , the term sexy underwent a semantic change in the early 1920s when it was used to for the first time with the connotation of “sexually attractive” in reference to Rudolph Valentino:
Sexy:
1905, from sex (n.) + -y (2). Originally "engrossed in sex;" sense of "sexually attractive" is 1923, first in reference to Valentino. An earlier word in this sense was sexful (1898).
I couldn’t find any evidence of sexy used at that time referring to Valentino in Google Books or other online sources.
Questions:
Was the term “sexy” meaning attractive really first used for Valentino in the early 1920s or was this usage already in place in before then?
Is there evidence that “sexy” was used at that time to refer to the famous actor?
A:
Etymonline seems to be out of date here. The earliest examples in this sense are from before Valentino was even in a movie (at least according to the Wikipedia page linked in the question).
I found what looks to be a really early example from 1901:
You should always take a windy day when you wish to study the Sex; because on a calm day the Sex is not, so to speak, anything like so sexy.
The Clipper
The Oxford English Dictionary gives an example from 1912:
If a woman is genuinely keen to win the affections of a man she is a universal woman of the real sexy sort.
Colorado Springs Gazette
The OED also has an example from the 1923 LA Times referring to both men and women, but this doesn't seem to be the quote Etymonline is referring to either:
Even Elinor Glyn, who rather specializes in sexy heroines, has obviously been confronted with this type... The sexiest men have quite a number of other and more important interests.
Also, Etymonline asserts that the first use of the word (in any sense) was first used in 1905, but the OED has an earlier quote from 1896 (albeit with a different spelling):
Lane had decided..not to handle your work of genius, on the score that it was seksy & America didn't want no seks-problems.
A. Bennett's Letters
(Do note that "seksy" means "erotic" in the above quote as it is a different sense of the word.)

Ross Ulbricht’s Fate in the Hands of the US Supreme Court
Ross Ulbricht formally submitted a writ of certiorari to the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS), seeking a hearing for the overturn of a decision upheld this year by the Second Circuit Court of Appeals. Mr. Ulbricht’s double-life sentence without the possibility of parole is at stake.
Also read: Bundesbank Board Member: No Plans to Issue State-Backed Cryptocurrency
Ross Ulbricht Files Supreme Court Appeal
“Ross William Ulbricht respectfully petitions for a writ of certiorari to review the judgment of the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit in this case,” read the terse beginnings of a landmark plea to literally the last resort for Mr. Ulbricht.
Writ of certiorari orders the lower court, which upheld Mr. Ulbricht’s conviction and sentence, to deliver its records so that the Supreme Court may review them and decide if further examination is necessary. The SCOTUS is a nine member body which acts as the final arbiter in legal matters. Currently the Court has five members considered more conservative, while four are thought to be on the permissive side. Neil Gorsuch, recently appointed by President Trump, is said to be not bad on 4th Amendment issues, one of the grounds on which Mr. Ulbricht’s appeal is based.
There’s still a while to go before anything concrete can be known. The SCOTUS is under no obligation to pick-up the petition. In fact, of the 7,000 or so they receive per year, they’ll hear at most 150, a niggardly .02 percent. Very often the Circuit Courts are the final word in the great majority of cases. And of the appellate courts, the 2nd Circuit has a comparatively low reversal rate by the SCOTUS, so even if the case is ultimately heard that is no guarantee Mr. Ulbricht will see relief.
The generally agreed test for the SCOTUS to hear a writ involve cases of national significance, to establish precedence, or put to rest existing contradictions in decisions. Four of the justices must vote to accept a case. Justices’ clerks are in charge of first reviewing the writ, and it is they who write a summary and recommend hearing. Justices then take their recommendations to a conference for a final decision as to whether full hearing is warranted.
Two Questions
Mr. Ulbricht’s appeal focuses on two questions, according to the writ: “1. Whether the warrantless seizure of an individual’s Internet traffic information without probable cause violates the Fourth Amendment. 2. Whether the Sixth Amendment permits judges to find the facts necessary to support an otherwise unreasonable sentence.”
The United States Constitution is odd in the sense the bulk of the document describes what government does, its various functions, and then come amendments to those functions. The first ten are known as the Bill of Rights, and they specifically forbid government from certain transgressions, no matter the excuse.
The relevant portion of the Fourth Amendment under consideration reads, “The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause[.]” The relevant Sixth Amendment portion reads, “In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury[.]”
According to a memorandum obtained by Brian Doherty of Reason, “This case presents two important questions of constitutional law with broader significance for the rights of criminal defendants generally,” writes lead attorney Kannon K. Shanmugam. “First, the Second Circuit affirmed the government’s warrantless collection of Mr. Ulbricht’s Internet traffic information by relying on the third-party doctrine, which the Court is reviewing in a different context this Term in Carpenter v. United States….This case would afford the Court an ideal opportunity to address how the doctrine applies to Internet traffic information,” he claims.
Law for the Digital Age is Badly Needed
Mr. Doherty explains, “Shanmugam, a former law clerk to the late Justice Antonin Scalia, has argued 21 previous cases before the Supreme Court, has had at least five wins there, and has a good record of a 36 percent success rate in having cert petitions granted by the Court from 2012-2015 (and a 38 percent such success rate from 2013-2017),” which bodes well for Mr. Ulbricht.
Warrantless searches are at play, potentially, in the case because information used against Mr. Ulbricht was gathered under the “third party doctrine.” This allowed law enforcement to effectively search his IP address and personal laptop, which are presently thought to be available publicly over the internet through a modem or telecommunications company. The doctrine stems from before a time when internet service and laptops and phones were a person’s everyday lifeblood, and as such is in great need of updating. Is this information citizens are knowingly making public? Or, is such information assumed to be private? It’s all the difference in the world.
Also of grave concern is Mr. Ulbricht’s sentencing itself. “Ulbricht’s Sentencing Guidelines range would have resulted in a recommended sentence of, at most, 30 years in prison,” Mr. Shanmugam insists, but the judge took into account, beyond a jury, accusations never proven, including murder, to assess punishment. Mr. Doherty writes, “The Second Circuit in his initial appeal ‘reluctantly affirmed, concluding that the alleged murders for hire separated the case from an ordinary drug crime.’”
For the broader bitcoin community, Ross Ulbricht is someone many feel a debt is owed. Silk Road, according to many, provided a safer environment for buyers and sellers of products disliked by governments. The earliest use cases of bitcoin, cryptocurrency, were proven viable and, it’s not too far to claim, valuable due to such fearless experimentation. A great many enthusiasts view Mr. Ulbricht as someone who the government picked-on to send a horrible message.
What do think of Ross Ulbricht’s chances? Let us know in the comments section below.

Glutamate-mediated injury in focal cerebral ischemia: the excitotoxin hypothesis revised.
Neuronal injury following focal cerebral ischemia is widely attributed to the excitotoxic effects of glutamate. However, critical analysis of published data on glutamate toxicity in vitro and the comparison of these data with in vivo release of glutamate and the therapeutic effect of glutamate antagonists raises doubts about a neurotoxic mechanism. An alternative explanation for glutamate-mediated injury is hypoxia due to peri-infarct spreading depression-like depolarizations. These depolarizations are triggered in the core of the ischemic infarct and spread at irregular intervals into the peri-infarct surrounding. In ischemically uncompromised tissue, the metabolic workload associated with spreading depression is coupled to an increase in blood flow and oxygen supply, assuring maintenance of oxidative respiration. In the penumbra region of focal ischemia, the hemodynamic constraints of collateral blood circulation prevail the adequate adjustment of oxygen delivery, leading to transient episodes of relative tissue hypoxia. The hypoxic episodes cause a suppression of protein synthesis, a gradual deterioration of energy metabolism and a progression of irreversibly damaged tissue into the penumbra zone. The generation of peri-infarct spreading depressions and the associated metabolic workload can be suppressed by NMDA and non-NMDA antagonists. As a result, the penumbral inhibition of protein synthesis and the progressing energy failure is also prevented, and the volume of ischemic infarct decreases. Interventions to improve ischemic resistance should therefore aim at improving the oxygen supply or reducing the metabolic workload in the penumbra region.

Q:
Phonagap and Cordova cli not working
My problem is a little bit weird, I installed phonegap and cordova cli step by step from the official tutorial and when I try to use phonegap create or something else on my Ubuntu 14.04, but the terminal is not write anything and then waiting for the next command.
Example#1:
expa@a42book:~$ cordova add platform android
expa@a42book:~$
Example#2:
expa@a42book:~$ cordova platform add android
expa@a42book:~$
I could only this way:
expa@a42book:~$ sudo nodejs /usr/local/lib/node_modules/cordova/bin/cordova platform add android
Someone has pulled into this problem and solved it?
A:
The problem was with my cordova install (and the command too), I followed this tutorial: http://jeffmcmahan.info/blog/installing-cordova-on-linux/ and it began to working.
If that’s you, start by removing node.js as follows:
$ sudo apt-get remove node
Next, you’ll fix up up some Python
dependencies:
$ sudo apt-get install python-software-properties python g++ make
And
now we’ll add the proper repo for up-to-date releases of Node.js, and
then we’ll run an update to grab the list of packages required to
install node:
$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:chris-lea/node.js
$ sudo apt-get update
We can now install Node.js itself:
$ sudo apt-get install nodejs
Finally, we install Cordova.
$ sudo npm install -g cordova

Rank and File Waiting For White Smoke
Lawmakers not on the front line of the fiscal cliff negotiations seem to be having several reactions to the negotiations: Pretend to work, look out for smoke and save Christmas.
Rep. Steven C. LaTourette, R-Ohio, explained that at this point, there’s not much for those of us not named President Barack Obama or Speaker John A. Boehner to do.
“We have engaged in some charades over the last 18 years where we all, like, pretend to be working in our offices,” he said about the rank-and-file members. “[B]ut we’re not doing anything to get this done because there’s nothing we can do.”
HOH is going to miss LaTourette, who is retiring. We appreciate that he’s always willing to give a relatively unvarnished view of reality — or at least tell us when he’s about to varnish it.
LaTourette likens the cliff negotiations to the pope’s appointment.
“And when they signal — sort of like the pope being elected. You know, when the white smoke comes out of the Capitol, then we can come back and execute the deal,” he says.
On the other hand, Sen. Olympia J. Snowe, R-Maine, who is also retiring, is less laid-back about the timeline.
“[The fiscal cliff negotiators] need to provide and create more urgency to the circumstances, because this is the Christmas season, and [the fiscal cliff] puts people at a high level of anxiety and uncertainty,” she says, sounding a little panicky. “I think people need far less of that, frankly.”

Introduction {#Sec1}
============
Plate tectonics has reshaped the distribution of the Earth's continental and oceanic lithosphere through time. However, when modern-style plate tectonics started is still debated, with proposals ranging from the Neoproterozoic Era to the Archean Eon^[@CR1]--[@CR7]^. The absence from the geological record of high-pressure and low-temperature metamorphism, including blueschists and ophiolites before the Neoproterozoic Era, presents a challenge to understanding early subduction. Archean mantle is about 300 K hotter than the present mantle and high mantle temperature would have significant effects on the viability and style of the subduction process^[@CR8]^. As a result, early ocean plates may have been more buoyant and richer in MgO but weaker than modern ocean lithosphere. The Mg-rich composition of the Archean oceanic crusts may preclude blueschist formation^[@CR9]^. Popular models^[@CR10],[@CR11]^ for early plate tectonics involve shallow flat subduction and delamination of thick crust, precluding low thermal gradient deep subduction. This interpretation is supported by thermodynamic modeling of metamorphic mineral assemblages that the Archean tonalitic--trondhjemitic--granodioritic (TTG) compositions may be formed by shallow subduction of thick oceanic crust^[@CR12]^. The petrological record also shows that the trace element signatures in TTG magmas can only be produced when melts separate from a garnet amphibolite residue, not an eclogite residue^[@CR13]^. However, low Paleoproterozoic thermal gradients are recorded in blueschist facies metamorphism (\~350 °C GPa^−1^) in West Africa^[@CR3]^ and retrograded amphibolitized eclogite boudins (\~300 °C GPa^−1^) in North America^[@CR6]^. These recent findings challenge the timing of onset of modern-style subduction.
A global record of low geothermal gradients in the Paleoproterozoic is a prerequisite to demonstrate a change of plate tectonic processes that dates back to that time. During the Paleoproterozoic Era, there were global-scale continent and mountain building events from West Africa to North America and to North China, leading to Columbia, the first coherent supercontinent in the Earth history^[@CR14],[@CR15]^. The North China craton (NCC, Fig. [1a](#Fig1){ref-type="fig"}) is one of the fundamental Precambrian nuclei of Asia and one of the oldest cratonic blocks in the world (\~3.8 Ga)^[@CR16]^. It preserves a record of a long and complex crustal evolution, but evidence of a thick mantle keel beneath Archean-aged crust is absent^[@CR17]^. The Eastern and Western blocks evolved independently during the Archean and collided along the Trans-North China Orogen (TNCO, Fig. [1b](#Fig1){ref-type="fig"}) during the Paleoproterozoic (\~1.85 Ga) to form the NCC^[@CR16]^. The appearance of Paleoproterozoic carbonatites in the NCC offers an opportunity to evaluate subduction--accretion collision tectonics during the Paleoproterozoic Era. Here, we report pressure--temperature (*P*--*T*) conditions retrieved from an eclogite xenolith in a Paleoproterozoic carbonatite that provides direct petrological evidence of cold oceanic subduction during the Paleoproterozoic Era.Fig. 1Schematic geological map of the North China craton (NCC) with the location of the eclogite xenoliths. The maps are after Zhao et al.^[@CR16]^. **a** The NCC is separated from Yangtze craton by Qinling orogen^[@CR16]^. **b** The Eastern and Western blocks in the NCC were amalgamated by the Paleoproterozoic Trans-North China Orogen (TNCO)^[@CR16]^. The Paleoproterozoic carbonatite and its associated eclogite xenoliths and high-pressure granulites^[@CR17]^ occur in the TNCO. The scale bar is 800 and 400 km in **a** and **b**, respectively
Results {#Sec2}
=======
Geological background {#Sec3}
---------------------
The carbonatites are associated with pyroxenites, pyroxene syenites, and occasionally with granulites (Supplementary Fig. [1a, b](#MOESM1){ref-type="media"}). They occur as dykes and were emplaced in the Fengzhen and Huai'an areas at the crossing between the Khondalite belt and TNCO (Fig. [1b](#Fig1){ref-type="fig"}). These orogens are Paleoproterozoic collisional belts formed by the amalgamation of the Western and Eastern blocks and before that the Ordos and Yinshan blocks, respectively^[@CR16]^. The Khondalite belt is composed of Paleoproterozoic sillimanite--garnet and garnet--biotite gneisses. In the TNCO, late Archean crust is dominated by TTG gneisses. Paleoproterozoic mafic granulites are widely distributed (Fig. [1b](#Fig1){ref-type="fig"}). Their *P*--*T* paths are mostly clockwise, related to collision/exhumation processes, and some of them evolved through eclogite facies^[@CR17]^. The granulites, occurring as lenses and tabular bodies associated with the carbonatites, consist of plagioclase, clinopyroxene, orthopyroxene, amphibole, garnet, and quartz. They are characterized by augen structures consisting of plagioclase and orthopyroxene enveloped by porphyroblastic garnet, indicating rapid exhumation (Supplementary Fig. [1c](#MOESM1){ref-type="media"}). Guo et al.^[@CR18]^ obtained an age of \~1.82 Ga from the Huai'an granulite, with peak *P*--*T* conditions of 750--850 °C and 1.1--1.5 GPa.
Mineralogy and geochronology {#Sec4}
----------------------------
The carbonatite is mainly composed of calcite (70--80%), with minor amounts of diopside, apatite, phlogopite, olivine, and spinel (Supplementary Fig. [2](#MOESM1){ref-type="media"} and Supplementary Table [1](#MOESM1){ref-type="media"}). Apatite occurs as well-developed elongate prismatic crystals (typically \~5 mm in length). In-situ LA-ICPMS U--Pb dating of apatite yields weighted U--Pb ages of 1681(±61) Ma (Fengzhen area) and 1765(±35) Ma (Huai'an area) (Supplementary Fig. [2](#MOESM1){ref-type="media"} and Supplementary Table [2](#MOESM1){ref-type="media"}).
Within the Paleoproterozoic carbonatites, there are rare but well-preserved cm-sized eclogite xenoliths (Supplementary Fig. [1d](#MOESM1){ref-type="media"}). The eclogite is composed of euhedral garnet porphyroblast up to 1 cm in diameter (\~37 vol%), omphacite (\~36 vol%), kyanite (\~9 vol%), quartz (\~9 vol%), zoisite (\~7 vol%), and phengite (\~2 vol%), with accessory amphibole, biotite, and rutile (Supplementary Fig. [3](#MOESM1){ref-type="media"} and Supplementary Table [3](#MOESM1){ref-type="media"}). The mineral proportions were obtained from a SEM--EDS area-scan of one eclogite mount (Fig. [2a](#Fig2){ref-type="fig"}). Garnet has elevated Si (3.019 ± 0.005 pfu on the base of 12 oxygen atoms) and compositional traverses reveal prograde concentric zoning with a homogeneous core overgrown by a rim of increasing pyrope but decreasing almandine, showing a Mg/(Mg + Fe) ratio increasing from the core to the rim (Supplementary Fig. [4](#MOESM1){ref-type="media"}). The garnet core traps abundant mineral inclusions, including kyanite, quartz, zoisite, omphacite, Ca--Na amphibole, Na amphibole, paragonite, and rutile, whereas the rim is relatively free of inclusions (Fig. [2a](#Fig2){ref-type="fig"}). The jadeite content of omphacite in the matrix and inclusions is 23(±1) and 27(±3) mol%, respectively. Zoisite is poor in Fe^3+^. Subparallel zoisite grains in the matrix define a foliation that is characteristic of orogenic eclogite (Fig. [2a](#Fig2){ref-type="fig"}). Phengite has high Si contents (3.40--3.44 pfu). Large matrix phengite is texturally equilibrated with garnet and omphacite, and contains omphacite and kyanite inclusions, interpreted as peak metamorphic minerals. Minor magnesiohornblende occurs in the matrix, and has higher MgO (\~20 wt%) and lower Na~2~O (\~1.5 wt%) contents than inclusions in the garnet core. The Ca--Na amphibole in garnet is barroisite with elevated Na (Na~B~ = 0.5--0.7 pfu) and is rarely associated with paragonite. Rare sodic amphibole in garnet contains high Mg and Na, and low Ca (\~4.1, 1.2, and 0.01 pfu, respectively). Minor monazite occurs in association with calcite veinlets that crosscut the garnets and primary minerals in the garnet cores. In-situ electron microprobe dating of two groups of monazites (primary and late-stage growth) yields different weighted U--Th--Pb ages of 1839(±26) and 1766(±7) Ma (Supplementary Fig. [5](#MOESM1){ref-type="media"} and Supplementary Table [4](#MOESM1){ref-type="media"}). These ages constrain the eclogite metamorphism to the Paleoproterozoic Era, similar to the Huai'an granulite age in the TNCO^[@CR18]^.Fig. 2Mineral mapping of the fresh eclogite xenolith and *P*--*T* phase diagram. **a** The eclogite contains typical minerals of garnet (Grt) and omphacite (Omp), which do not show any retrogressed feature. The coarse-grained garnets are rimmed by quartz (Q) and phengite (Phen), indicating a relatively high pressure and low temperature metamorphism. Ky kyanite, Zo zoisite, Bt biotite, Rt rutile. The scale bar is 5 mm. **b** *P*--*T* diagram is calculated in the NCKFMASH system^[@CR27]^ according to the effective bulk-rock composition obtained from **a**. The peak pressure and temperature (labeled as MP1) are calculated using the Zr-in-rutile and mineral-pair thermobarometer (Supplementary Table [7](#MOESM1){ref-type="media"}). The peak metamorphic pressure and temperature, labeled as MP2, are independently constrained by the jadeite and Si contents of omphacite and phengite (purple dash line), respectively. The standard deviation (±1.4 kbar) in pressure is adopted on the basis of a Monte Carlo assessment on the phase equilibrium modeling^[@CR53]^. Combining MP1 and MP2 data gives a thermal gradient of 250(±15) °C GPa^−1^.

We derived the bulk rock composition of the eclogite xenolith by integrating the mineral compositions from electron microprobe analysis and the modes acquired by the SEM--EDS area-scan (Supplementary Table [5](#MOESM1){ref-type="media"}). The eclogite has a similar composition to oceanic gabbro (Supplementary Fig. [6](#MOESM1){ref-type="media"}), but is different from the eclogite xenoliths in kimberlites^[@CR19]^. The latter contains inclusion-free garnet and clinopyroxene, and no quartz. Based on in-situ mineral trace element analyses in the eclogite xenolith (Supplementary Table [6](#MOESM1){ref-type="media"}), the garnets have a strong depletion in the light rare earth elements (LREEs) relative to the heavy (H)REEs, and show a nearly flat chondrite-normalized (cn) HREE pattern with Y/Yb~cn~ of \~1 (Supplementary Fig. [7](#MOESM1){ref-type="media"}). In contrast, zoisite contains high LREE contents with a La/Yb~cn~ of \~266, and is characterized by a positive Eu anomaly. According to these mineral compositions and modal mass, the reconstructed whole-rock shows slightly depleted LREEs (La/Yb~cn~ = 0.7), flat HREE (Y/Yb~cn~ = 1), and positive Eu anomaly. The main hosts for the incompatible trace elements are zoisite \[LREEs, Sr (3574--3988 ppm), Th (2--10 ppm), U (1--2 ppm), Pb (10--11 ppm)\], garnet \[Y (13--31 ppm), HREEs\], and phengite \[Rb (183--201 ppm), Ba (2428--2564 ppm)\]. It is suggested that these trace-element budgets in eclogites are controlled by newly formed minerals such as zoisite, garnet, and phengite, during prograde metamorphism in subduction zones^[@CR20]^.
To estimate the peak metamorphic conditions, we first use the Zr-in-rutile thermometer to determine the peak temperature. The Zr concentration in the matrix rutile ranges from 150 to 174 ppm (Supplementary Table [7](#MOESM1){ref-type="media"}). The Zr-in-rutile thermometer^[@CR21]^ yields temperatures of 650 and 670 °C for the minimum and maximum Zr concentrations, respectively (Supplementary Table [8](#MOESM1){ref-type="media"}). For the temperatures of 650 and 670 °C, the garnet--clinopyroxene--phengite (Grt--Cpx--Phen) barometer^[@CR22]^ gives peak pressures of 2.49 and 2.46 GPa, respectively (Supplementary Table [8](#MOESM1){ref-type="media"}). The Grt--Cpx--Phen barometer of ref. ^[@CR22]^ is preferred because of the low jadeite content (\<0.5) of omphacite in the mineral assemblage^[@CR23]^. Using the pressure-dependent Zr-in-rutile thermometer^[@CR24]^, the calculated temperature is 658 and 669 °C at 2.5 GPa for the minimum and maximum Zr concentrations, respectively (Supplementary Table [8](#MOESM1){ref-type="media"}), consistent with the result from the Grt--Cpx--Phen barometer. Further confirmation of the temperature determination comes from the garnet--clinopyroxene (Grt--Cpx) thermometer. Because grossular in the eclogitic garnet is less than 0.35, we use the formula of Powell^[@CR25]^ as suggested by ref. ^[@CR26]^. The compositions of garnet rim and omphacite in the matrix yield a mean temperature of 670 °C at 2.5 GPa.
Multiple thermobarometers give consistent estimates of peak pressures (2.5 GPa) and temperatures (650--670 °C). For comparison, Fig. [2b](#Fig2){ref-type="fig"} shows a *P*--*T* phase diagram calculated for the eclogite in the simplified system Na~2~O--CaO--K~2~O--FeO--MgO--Al~2~O~3~--SiO~2~--H~2~O (NCKFMASH) with excess water, using the program THERMOCALC^[@CR27]^. The peak assemblage of garnet + omphacite + kyanite is stable in the *P*--*T* range of 2.6--2.8 GPa and 650--670 °C (Fig. [2b](#Fig2){ref-type="fig"}), based on isopleths of jadeite content in omphacite (22--24) and Si content in phengite (3.40--3.44). This is consistent with the thermobarometric estimates summarized above. These peak conditions correspond to a low apparent thermal gradient of 250(±15) °C GPa^−1^ (Fig. [3](#Fig3){ref-type="fig"}). This is among the coldest subduction recorded in the Paleoproterozoic Era and akin to many Phanerozoic blueschist terranes exhumed from oceanic subduction zones (\<350 °C GPa^−1^)\[[@CR2]\] (Fig. [3](#Fig3){ref-type="fig"}).Fig. 3Peak pressure--temperature condition of this study compared to a global compilation of metamorphic belts. The *P*--*T*--*t* data of these metamorphic belts are indicated by different symbols (see legend) and grouped into three types of metamorphism^[@CR2]^: high- and ultrahigh-pressure metamorphism (\<350 °C GPa^−1^); eclogite and high-pressure granulite metamorphism (\<750 °C GPa^−1^); and granulite and ultrahigh-temperature metamorphism (\>750 °C GPa^−1^). A Paleoproterozoic thermal gradient of \<350 °C GPa^−1^ was recorded in the high-pressure metamorphism from North China (NC), West Africa (WA)^[@CR3]^, and North America (NA)^[@CR6]^ cratons
Isotope geochemistry of carbonatites {#Sec6}
------------------------------------
To understand the sources of carbon, we measured the oxygen and carbon isotopic compositions of the carbonatites (Supplementary Table [9](#MOESM1){ref-type="media"}). The δ^18^O~V-SMOW~ and δ^13^C~V-PDB~ values (9.4--15.8‰ and −5.7 to −1.6‰, respectively) are higher, compared to those of normal mantle rocks (5--8‰ and −7 to −5‰, respectively) and typical mantle-derived primary carbonatites (6--10‰ and −8 to −4‰, respectively^[@CR28]^) (Fig. [4a](#Fig4){ref-type="fig"}). While the oxygen isotopic values may be readily modified, the carbon isotopic values are much less susceptible to later processes like fluid infiltration and wall--rock assimilation. The high δ^13^C values recorded in the carbonatites potentially can be accounted for by fractional crystallization, or assimilation of sediments or subducted oceanic crust^[@CR28]^. Fractional crystallization is unlikely to have been the cause for the high δ^13^C values because there is no defined trend between the δ^13^C~V-PDB~ and δ^18^O~V-SMOW~ values. Similarly, only minimal wall--rock assimilation is possible based on a negative Pb anomaly documented in the whole rocks^[@CR29]^. In contrast, heavy-C enrichment in the carbonatites can be easily explained by the involvement of recycled oceanic carbonates, with typical δ^13^C~V-PDB~ values of 0(±1.5)‰^[@CR30]^ (Fig. [4a](#Fig4){ref-type="fig"}), associated with subducted oceanic crust.Fig. 4Isotopic compositions of the carbonatites. **a** The carbonatite samples from Fengzhen and Huai'an show higher oxygen and carbon isotopes compared to normal mantle-derived rocks (box with dashed line) and typical primary carbonatites (gray box with black line) worldwide. The values of the Paleoproterozoic sedimentary carbonates^[@CR30]^ are also shown to illustrate that heavy-C enrichment in the carbonatites is consistent with the involvement of recycled oceanic carbonates. **b** The initial ^143^Nd/^144^Nd and ^87^Rb/^86^Sr ratios of the carbonatites and apatites are compared to the values of the Archean to Proterozoic lithospheric mantle (LM)^[@CR31]^ and the late Archean lower crust in central NCC (LC)^[@CR32]^ with 700-Ma radiogenic addition. The Sr--Nd isotopic variations for the sources of the carbonatites and apatites can be successfully modeled by mixing a 2.5-Ga oceanic crust (OC) with various amounts of 2.5-Ga marine sediments (MS) (Supplementary Table [11](#MOESM1){ref-type="media"}). With a single-stage evolution model^[@CR54]^, the isotopic compositions of the two end-members are calculated as (^87^Rb/^86^Sr)~OC~ = 0.053 and (^147^Sm/^144^Nd)~OC~ = 0.214, and (^87^Rb/^86^Sr)~MS~ = 0.186 and (^147^Sm/^144^Nd)~MS~ = 0.183, respectively. The initial Sr--Nd isotopic compositions of the LC in the central NCC, and those for the bulk Earth (BE) and chondritic uniform reservoir (CHUR) are calculated for 1.8 Ga
The isotopic characteristics of Sr and Nd in carbonatites are generally inherited from their source regions^[@CR28]^. In this case, the carbonatites and their apatites show very unusual negative *ε*~Nd~(*t*) values (−5.8 to −7.8) (Supplementary Table [10](#MOESM1){ref-type="media"}), indicating the involvement of a substantial amount of ocean crustal materials in the source. The initial Sr and Nd isotopes of the Archean to Proterozoic lithospheric mantle^[@CR31]^ and TTG crust in the central NCC^[@CR32]^ are very depleted, so that a 700-Ma radiogenic addition cannot produce such an enriched Sr--Nd isotopic signature for the carbonatites. One way to produce the unusually enriched isotopic characteristics of the carbonatites is to add oceanic crust-derived carbonates to a subducted Late Archean (2.5 Ga) basaltic oceanic crust, with a residence time of \~700 Mys. Figure [4b](#Fig4){ref-type="fig"} shows the change of the isotopic compositions of carbonatites by mixing a Late Archean oceanic crust with marine sediment. The isotopic composition with an addition of 10% oceanic crust-derived carbonates matches well with our observed values (Fig. [4b](#Fig4){ref-type="fig"}), providing further evidence for the involvement of the oceanic crust in the genesis of the carbonatites.
Discussion {#Sec7}
==========
On the basis of U--Th--Pb dating, compositions of the coexisting minerals in the eclogite xenolith, and isotopic compositions of C, O, Sr, and Nd, we have established that cold deep subduction of ocean crust occurred during the Paleoproterozoic Era in the NCC. The cold subduction environment is also consistent with the preservation of the Fe^3+^-rich majorite inclusion in a websterite-derived garnet in the same carbonatites^[@CR27]^. The estimated equilibrium temperatures of the host garnet are in the range of 670--1000 °C for depths of 100--200 km, using the garnet--clinopyroxene Fe--Mg-geothermometer^[@CR33]^. The high Fe^3+^ content (Fe^3+^/∑Fe \> 0.8) of the majorite inclusion is likely a product of a redox reaction involving deep carbonatitic magmas, implying that the Paleoproterozoic subduction in the NCC could have been active for an extended period of time. Reduction of carbonate associated with earlier subduction could have provided an environment in which oxidized Fe^3+^-rich majorite formed.
From the regional geology, the low-temperature and high-pressure metamorphism of the carbonated eclogite is the result of the cold Paleoproterozoic oceanic subduction, related to the amalgamation of the Yinshan and Orodos blocks^[@CR16]^. The 1.91--1.88 Ga Halaqin volcanic belt in Yinshan block, located 100-km to the northwestward of the carbonatite outcrop, includes basalts, andesites, and rhyolites with typical geochemical features of an arc sequence^[@CR34]^. A recent study also showed that a Paleoproterozoic garnet websterite in the Yinshan block underwent peak metamorphism at \~1.90 Ga when it was subducted to eclogite facies, and then exhumed back to granulite facies at \~1.82 Ga^[@CR35]^. On a global scale, a semi-continuous record of global kimberlite volcanism starts at \~2 Ga, with a notable increase in kimberlite magmatic activity at 1.2--1.1 Ga^[@CR36]^. This implies that the cooling ambient mantle directly beneath thermally maturing continental keels could have developed into sites of sustained kimberlite melt generation from 2 Ga. Moreover, low thermal gradient Paleoproterozoic subduction has been recently reported in West African and North American cratons^[@CR3],[@CR6]^. Our work directly links Paleoproterozoic carbonatites to cold slab subduction in the NCC. Figure [5](#Fig5){ref-type="fig"} shows the distribution of Paleoproterozoic carbonatites and Paleoproterozoic granulites and eclogites in orogens worldwide. Multiple experimental studies show that melting of a carbonated slab at pressures greater than 2.5 GPa can form carbonate melt^[@CR37],[@CR38]^. There is a clear association between carbonatites^[@CR39]^ and high-pressure metamorphic rocks in Paleoproterozoic orogens^[@CR15]^.Fig. 5Distribution of Paleoproterozoic carbonatites, granulites, and eclogites worldwide. The majority of carbonatite occurrences^[@CR39]^ are associated with high-pressure metamorphism (Supplementary Table [12](#MOESM1){ref-type="media"}) in Paleoproterozoic orogens^[@CR15]^
Although only a few locations of Paleoproterozoic low thermal gradient metamorphism have been reported so far, it is likely that evidence for cold deep subduction in the Paleoproterozoic Era will continue to emerge with expanded exploration to metamorphic terrains, which are intrinsically linked to orogenesis. High-Mg oceanic crust derived from a hotter Archean mantle is less likely to stabilize blueschist-facies mineral assemblages^[@CR9]^. Moreover, the low-temperature records may be easily overprinted by the followed inter-continental collisions with high-temperature metamorphism worldwide. Therefore, we suggest a common occurrence of modern-style plate tectonics back to at least the Paleoproterozoic Era. The early global-scale subduction could be also associated with the formation of Columbia supercontinent^[@CR15]^.
Global-scale Paleoproterozoic subduction would provide an efficient pathway for surface sediments to enter the ancient deep Earth. Isotopic and trace element geochemical studies of the ocean island basalts have for many years been used to infer the presence of long-lived (1--2 Ga) compositional heterogeneities in the deep mantle related to recycled oceanic crust together with different types of marine sediments via subduction^[@CR40]^. However, it is still doubted because of the lack of petrological evidence for ancient deep subduction. Our work not only provides a direct record of deep Paleoproterozoic subduction, but also implies that the recycled carbonates may be played a critical role in the change of local redox state of the deep mantle, including the formation of the Fe^3+^-rich majorite^[@CR33]^ related to the subducted sediments. Melting of the recycled carbonates can also produce melt with enriched trace element and isotope compositions, which are important mantle metasomatic agents that interact with peridotite lithologies^[@CR41]^.
The Paleoproterozoic carbonatites in the Fengzhen and Huai'an areas of the NCC occur in an orogen setting. The eclogite xenoliths hosted by the carbonatites provide a rare window into the ancient deep-subducted slab, showing the first cold subduction in the NCC during the Paleoproterozoic Era and also recording the deepest Fe^3+^-rich majorite inclusion in a cold subduction environment^[@CR33]^. The characteristics of the Paleoproterozoic slab supports that modern-style plate tectonics has operated since at least the Paleoproterozoic Era. The association of Paleoproterozoic carbonatites with high-pressure metamorphic rocks in Paleoproterozoic orogens worldwide (Fig. [5](#Fig5){ref-type="fig"}) argues for sustained, large-scale deep carbon cycle over a long geological period of time, influencing the evolution of mantle oxidation state and compositional heterogeneities in the deep mantle.
Methods {#Sec8}
=======
Mineral mapping {#Sec9}
---------------
The polished eclogite xenolith sample was analyzed using a Tescan Integrated Mineral Analyzer (TIMA) mineralogy system at the Tescan Orsay Holding Lab, Czech Republic. The TIMA comprises a Tescan Mira Schottky field emission scanning electron microscope with four silicon drift energy dispersive (EDS) detectors arranged at 90° intervals around the chamber. The measurements were performed with the dot-mapping mode, and the BSE image was obtained to determine individual particles and boundaries between distinct preliminary phases. A rectangular mesh of measurements on every distinct phase was obtained with X-ray spectra. The spectroscopic data were matched to mineral definition files, allowing for mineral identification and mapping. The volume and mass ratios of all mineral phases were automatically calculated. The TIMA measurements were performed at 25 kV using a spot size of \~50 nm, a working distance of 15 mm, and a field size set at 1500 μm.
Apatite dating {#Sec10}
--------------
The ages of apatites from the carbonatites were determined by the U--Th--Pb method using a laser (Geolas) ICPMS (Agilent 7500a) at the Institute of Geology and Geophysics, Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS). The apatites, separated from the carbonatite samples, were casted into resin mounts together with grains of NIST 610, apatite reference materials NW-1 (1160 Ma), and LAP (474 Ma). The beam diameter of the laser is 30 μm with a repetition rate of 8 Hz. The background of Pb and ^202^Hg is less than 100 cps. The fractionation correction and results were calculated using the program GLITTER 4.0. The ^207^Pb method was applied for common Pb corrections using the upper intercept obtained from a Tera--Wasserburg diagram^[@CR42]^. The ^207^Pb correction method yields more precise and accurate ages than the Tera--Wasserburg Concordia ages because of a small spread in the U/total Pb ratios^[@CR42]^. The U--Pb analyses of the apatite standards also show that the method of laser ablation can effectively date this mineral without significant matrix effects^[@CR43]^.
Monazite dating {#Sec11}
---------------
The chemical Th--U--total Pb ages of monazite were determined with a wavelength-dispersive X-ray spectrometry (WDS) using a Cameca SX100 electron microprobe at the Masaryk University. Uranium was determined on the U Mβ line (counting time 60 s, detection limit 270 ppm), Thorium on the Th Mα line (counting time 40 s, detection limit 250 ppm), and lead on the Pb Mα line (counting time 240 s, detection limit 130 ppm). Synthetic and natural phases were used as standards, including metallic U for U, PbSe for Pb, CaTh(PO~4~)~2~ for Th, synthetic end-member phosphates (XPO~4~) for REE, Y, sanidine for Si, apatite for Ca, and topaz for F. Data were reduced using the PAP matrix correction routine. Overlapping of peaks and background positions were examined and chosen based on WDS angle scans on natural and synthetic REE-phases. The microprobe was operated at an accelerating voltage of 15 kV and a beam current of 160 nA, with an electron beam defocused to a 2-μm spot to avoid devolatilization, ionic diffusion, and other forms of beam damage on the sample. The monazite age was calculated using the method of refs. ^[@CR44],[@CR45]^.
Major element analysis {#Sec12}
----------------------
The chemical compositions of minerals were obtained with a Cameca SX100 electron microprobe at the Masaryk University, and a JEOL field-emission electron microprobe (JEOL JXA 8530F) at the Geophysical Laboratory of the Carnegie Institution of Washington. The microprobes were operated at an accelerating voltage of 15 kV and a beam current of 30 nA. For each mineral or a group of minerals, we chose appropriate matrix-specific standards (both natural and synthetic) and optimal instrument conditions (beam settings, detector type, and counting statistics).
In-situ trace element analysis {#Sec13}
------------------------------
In-situ laser-ablation ICPMS analyses of minerals in the eclogite xenoliths were performed at the School of Earth and Space Sciences, Peking University. The diameter of the ablation spot is 44 μm. NIST 610, 612, and 614 glasses were used as calibration standards for all the samples. The elements used for the internal standards include Ca and Si, expressed as CaO and SiO~2~ for garnet, omphacite, zoisite, kyanite, and phengite. Analytical error is ≤5% at the ppm level. In-run signal intensity for indicative trace elements was monitored during analysis to make sure that the laser beam stayed within the selected phase and did not penetrate inclusions.
Trace and major element analysis of rutile {#Sec14}
------------------------------------------
We used electron probe microanalyzer (CAMECA SXFive) to analyze eight elements (Si, Fe, Cr, Zr, V, Nb, Ta, and Ti) in rutile at the Institute of Geology and Geophysics, CAS. The microprobe was operated at an accelerating voltage of 20 kV and a beam current of 170 nA. Counting time on the peak of Si, Fe, Cr, Zr, V, Nb, Ta, and Ti is 120, 120, 120, 100, 120, 240, and 10 s, respectively. The rutile R10 was used as standard. The detection limits for the above elements are 23, 35, 32, 35, 12, 54, 69, and 137 ppm, respectively. The eight elements in the standard rutile R10 have been well analyzed by the same electron microprobe^[@CR46]^.
Isotope analysis {#Sec15}
----------------
Carbon and oxygen isotopic compositions of calcite from the carbonatites were measured at the Institute of Geochemistry, CAS, using a continuous-flow isotope ratio mass spectrometer (IsoPrime), with reproducibility of ±0.15‰ and ±0.2‰ for carbon and oxygen, respectively. The results are expressed as per mil (‰) variation relative to PDB for carbon and SMOW for oxygen.
In-situ Sr--Nd isotopes of apatite from the carbonatites were determined by a Neptune LA-MC-ICPMS at the Institute of Geology and Geophysics, CAS. The laser was focused at a height of 60--120 µm above the sample surface and fired using a repetition rate of 6--8 Hz and an energy density of 10 J/cm^2^. The AP1 and AP2 standard apatites were used as external calibrations. Normalized Sr and Nd isotopic ratios were calculated using the exponential law^[@CR47]^.
Sr and Nd isotopic compositions of the carbonatites were analyzed by a MC-ICPMS (VG AXIOM) at Peking University. Mass fractionation corrections for the Sr and Nd isotopic ratios were normalized to ^86^Sr/^88^Sr = 0.1194 and ^146^Nd/^144^Nd = 0.7219, respectively. Repeated measurements for the Nd standard JNdi and Sr standard NBS987 yielded ^143^Nd/^144^Nd = 0.512120 ± 11 (2*σ*) and ^87^Sr/^86^Sr = 0.710250 ± 11 (2*σ*), respectively. To calculate the initial Sr--Nd isotope values, we analyzed the whole-rock Rb, Sr, Sm, and Nd concentrations by solution ICPMS (Thermo Fisher Scientific X-Series II). The data processing procedure includes linear drift correction, internal (matrix) correction, REE and Ba interference corrections, blank subtraction, calibration with international standards, and a dilution correction. Repeat analyses (including well-characterized standards) indicate that the accuracy of trace element measurements is better than 10%.
*P*--*T* pseudosections {#Sec16}
-----------------------
The *P*--*T* phase diagram was calculated using THERMOCALC v. 3.33^[@CR27]^ with an internally consistent thermodynamic data set 5.5^[@CR48]^ (November 2003 upgrade) in the NCKFMASH system. The effective bulk-rock composition is provided in Supplementary Table [5](#MOESM1){ref-type="media"}. Water was treated in saturation because of the widespread presence of hydrous phases (such as zoisite and phengite). All Fe was assumed as Fe^2+^. Ti was omitted in the calculations, as rutile is the only Ti-rich phase. Following mineral solid solutions are adopted: garnet^[@CR49]^, clinopyroxene^[@CR50]^, amphibole^[@CR51]^, white mica^[@CR52]^, and chlorite^[@CR48]^.

Don't worry, the T-pod was safely away from public roads. The company had a mini course set up at AstaZero, a test site outside Gothenburg, Sweden. A short loop and limited speeds that maxed out at 8 km/h or just under 5 MPH easily kept things under control. Einride also had staff on site to help monitor the waves of novice truck drivers behind the wheel, and I also had someone close by here in Spain to make sure I kept it between the lines.
The driver's seat looked like something you'd use to play Forza. Basically, there was a racing-style seat with game-ready pedals and a steering wheel. Out front, a group of six displays gave me a wide view, something like you'd see out of the windshield of a truck. Keep in mind, the T-pod doesn't have a cab, so its six cameras are essential for remote monitoring. Indeed, all of those are projected on the displays, including what would be the side mirror views and three cameras that offer multiple angles behind the vehicle. This would prove to be invaluable as the short course had a stop sign and a construction zone to contend with.
Even though the T-pod is fully autonomous, human oversight is still required by law. The goal is to eventually use a remote-control setup like this for one driver to monitor an entire fleet of trucks -- perhaps up to 10 at a time. The demo here in Barcelona was running on Ericsson's 5G, which offers extremely low latency thanks to the increased speeds. After all, you wouldn't want lag to be a concern when you're driving a multi-ton truck from afar. If a T-pod was approaching a work zone on the road, for example, a remote driver could take control, pilot the truck around the hazard, and then leave it to navigate the rest of the route on its own.
Autonomous vehicles like Einride's T-pod will likely play a huge role in the future of shipping logistics. And the ability, and reliability, to control them remotely is a big piece of getting these vehicles on the road. Though it was only a demo at MWC, it seems like Einride and Ericsson are well on their way to finding a workable solution.

Extracts from the five-page letter, dated November 7 2018, from Theresa May, the prime minister, to Arlene Foster, DUP leader, and Nigel Dodds, deputy DUP leader:
Dear Arlene and Nigel,
Thank you for your letter of November 1 on the United Kingdom’s negotiations with the European Union. Your letter has raised a series of issues about the nature of the backstop.
On never wanting to use the backstop
The backstop is not, and will never be, our preferred outcome. As I said in my statement to parliament last month, it is an insurance policy that no-one in the UK or the EU wants or expects to use. Our overriding priority is to deliver a future partnership between the EU and the whole of the UK

Aptamer-based microcantilever-array biosensor for profenofos detection.
Profenofos, a highly poisonous organophosphorus pesticide, has been widely used in agricultural production. These pesticide residues have seriously influenced food security and threatened human health, and new methods with high sensitivity are greatly needed to detect profenofos. Here, we developed an aptamer-based microcantilever-array sensor operated in stress mode to detect profenofos, with advantages of being a label-free, highly sensitive, one-step immobilization method capable of quantitative and real-time detection. The microcantilevers were functionalized with a profenofos-specific aptamer (SS2-55), and then the specific binding of profenofos to aptamer induced a deflection of the microcantilever, which was monitored using an optical method in a real-time manner. The microcantilever deflection showed a positive relationship with profenofos concentration, and the detection limit was low to 1.3 ng mL-1 (3.5 nM) for profenofos, which was much lower than other aptamer-based detection methods. The selectivity of the sensor was verified with another organophosphorus pesticide. Additionally, we successfully detected profenofos dissolved in vegetable-soak solution. Our results showed that this aptamer-based microcantilever-array sensor is a convenient and label-free method for detecting profenofos in small amounts and has great potential for food-security applications.

Q:
How can an engine provide more torque at the point of contact than the ground's response by static friction without slipping?
In response to the top answer here: Newtonian Mechanics - How does something like a car wheel roll?
I clearly fundamentally misunderstand something here. I can't reconcile there being an angular acceleration about the tires (and thus, a net torque) and the torque provided by the engine being equal to the torque in response to static friction. If the torque provided by the engine was greater than the torque in response to static friction, wouldn't the wheel slip?
update: My confusion was resolved in chat with @V.F., and for anyone else who might have had the same simple misunderstanding in this system, it came down to a misunderstanding of contact forces.
As stated, the response from static friction is equal to the force of the tyre on the road, but the force of the tyre on the road (and of the road of the tyre though static friction) is NOT equal to the force of the engine on the tyre. This is because the tyre delivers the force to the road through contact, meaning it must physically accelerate to bring the atoms closer to the atoms of the tyre on the road, resulting in both the tyre and the road experiencing a force in opposing directions via Coloumbs Law. Therefore, a little bit of the engine force necessarily goes into accelerating the tyre into the road, and the rest of it is is then delivered between the road and the tyre as a contact force, through static friction. This delta is what results in the constraint of rolling motion, as the tyre experiences both a clockwise rotational acceleration from the engine to bring into contact with the road, and then a forward translation via static friction.
This was easier to understand in the simpler translational case that is typically used to illustrate the difference between contact force and input force. Imagine two boxes, A and B, of equal mass, M, on a frictionless surface. If you exerted a force, F, on box A, it's clear that both boxes would equally accelerate as one system over the surface - but if you exert a force on box A, and box A is in contact with box B, wouldn't box B respond with an equal and opposite force? Then why would box A accelerate at all? i.e. why isn't the force, F, perfectly transmitted through box A to box B? Well, because box A and box B are, of course, not actually in contact. The atoms at their respective surfaces are at some mutual equilibrium caused by Columbus Law. So, to transmit force F to box B would require accelerating box A into box B - i.e. force F is actually distributed between box A and box B based on their respective masses, as "contact" in this sense requires the acceleration of box A into box B, and thus the contact force between box A and box B is necessarily less than the input force F.
A:
We can treat a driving wheel as just another gear that has to pass the torque down the line.
Ideally, the torque it passes should be equal to the torque it receives, but, since the wheel has some mass and, therefore, some moment of inertia, a little torque differential is needed to speed it up. At steady state, though, the torque on both sides should be the same.
The wheel may slip, if the drive torque exceeds the maximum torque that can be supported by static friction, which can happen, for instance, on a slippery surface (low static friction) or when the car is overloaded or somehow is blocked from moving or there is an attempt to accelerate it too fast.

weight: which to stick to?
Never Ever Give Up!
When I got weighed by the pharmacist I was fully clothed, had just had a large meal and had been drinking about a litre of water so my weight was higher than when I weighed myself that morning. What weight do you go by, the weight that the pharmacist tells you you are or the "nett weight" you weighed the morning of day 1 right after waking up and having a wee?
Full Member
Hi Mirjam, i tend to go by the pharmacists as its official but i hated that my scales would have me a lbs or 2 lower than in the chemist it used to confuse the hell outta me!!
Sorry prob no help at all!
My aims.....
⭐️Smash into the 11st bracket
⭐️11.7
⭐️11st
10.10 (my smallest on slimming world, that I couldn't get past!!)
⭐️10st (possible final target, may aim for 9.10 and make it my mission to never be above 10 again unless there's a baby on board)

Samuele Briganti: Back To The Roots Teaser (VIDEO)
By Samuele Briganti: Back To The Roots is a non-fiction 20 minute short film about the life and works of Samuele Briganti. It was shot on April 2012 in Orbetello by Fabio Grande for F+A Studio Collective.
The documentary is about art and tattoos, the way I’ve started when I was only a kid, and how this passion became my job. A part of the movie is dedicated to hand-poked tattoos, and that’s the reason for the title “Back To The Roots” because I started tattooing with a sewing pin, and after 16 years I felt the necessity to go back to this method. The documentary is set to release in December…

Accumulation of pest insects on eucalyptus in California: random process or smoking gun.
Eucalyptus spp., native to Australia, have been introduced into many parts of the world as important timber and ornamental trees. Although the trees have important silvicultural qualities, they also have generated intense dissatisfaction, particularly among groups of individuals in California. The trees have benefited from the lack of insect pests and diseases in their adventive ranges but that has changed over the past four decades. In California, two species of insect herbivores were introduced between the time trees were first introduced to the state in the middle of the 19th century and 1983. Between 1983 and 2008, an additional 16 Australian insect pests of eucalyptus have become established in the state. The modes or routes of introduction have never been established. However, examinations of different temporal and spatial patterns suggest that the introductions were nonrandom processes. It is possible that they occurred because of increased trade or movement of people, but the hypothesis that there were intentional introductions also must be considered. The rapid accumulation of introduced herbivores on an ornamental plant system in a single state is a cautionary example of what could happen if a major food or fiber crop were intentionally targeted.

Worship
Worship is an act of religious devotion usually directed towards a deity. An act of worship may be performed individually, in an informal or formal group, or by a designated leader. Such acts may involve honoring.
Etymology
The word is derived from the Old English weorþscipe, meaning to venerate "worship, honour shown to an object, which has been etymologised as "worthiness or worth-ship"—to give, at its simplest, worth to something.
Worship in various religions
Buddhism
Worship in Buddhism may take innumerable forms given the doctrine of skillful means. Worship is evident in Buddhism in such forms as: guru yoga, mandala, thanka, yantra yoga, the discipline of the fighting monks of Shaolin, panchamrita, mantra recitation, tea ceremony, ganacakra, amongst others. Buddhist Devotion is an important part of the practice of most Buddhists. According to a spokesman of the Sasana Council of Burma, devotion to Buddhist spiritual practices inspires devotion to the Triple Gem. Most Buddhists use ritual in pursuit of their spiritual aspirations. In Buddhism, puja (Sanskrit & Pali: pūjā) are expressions of "honour, worship and devotional attention." Acts of puja include bowing, making offerings and chanting. These devotional acts are generally performed daily at home (either in the morning or evening or both) as well as during communal festivals and Uposatha days at a temple.
Meditation (samādhi) is a central form of worship in Buddhism. This practice is focused on the third step of the Eightfold Path that ultimately leads to self awakening, also known as enlightenment. Meditation promotes self-awareness and exploration of the mind and spirit. Traditionally, Buddhist meditation had combined samatha (the act of stopping and calming oneself) and vipasyana (seeing clearly within) to create a complete mind and body experience. By stopping one's everyday activities and focusing on something simple, the mind can open and expand enough to reach a spiritual level. By practicing the step of vipasyana, one does not achieve the final stage of awareness, but rather approaches one step closer. Mindful meditation teaches one to stop reacting quickly to thoughts and external objects that present themselves, but rather to peacefully hold the thought without immediately responding to it. Although in traditional Buddhist faith, enlightenment is the desired end goal of meditation, it is more of a cycle in a literal sense that helps individuals better understand their minds. For example, meditation leads to understanding, leading to kindness, leading to peace, etc.
Christianity
In Christianity, a church service is a formalized period of communal worship, often but not exclusively occurring on Sunday (or on Saturday in the case of those churches practicing seventh-day Sabbatarianism). The church service is the gathering together of Christians to be taught the "Word of God" (the Holy Bible) and encouraged in their faith. Technically, the "church" in "church service" refers to the gathering of the faithful rather than to the building in which the event takes place. In Christianity, worship is reverent honor and homage paid to God. The New Testament uses various words to express the concept of worship. The word proskuneo - "to worship" - means to bow down (to Gods or to kings).
Mass is the central act of divine worship in the Catholic Church. The Congregation for Divine Worship at the Vatican publishes a Directory on Popular Piety and the Liturgy.<ref>'DIRECTORY ON POPULAR PIETY AND THE LITURGY: PRINCIPLES AND GUIDELINES]</ref> Roman Catholic devotions are "external practices of piety" which are not part of the official liturgy of the Catholic Church but are part of the popular spiritual practices of Catholics. They do not become part of liturgical worship, even if conducted in a Catholic church, in a group, in the presence of a priest.
Anglican devotions are private prayers and practices used by Anglican Christians to promote spiritual growth and communion with God. Among members of the Anglican Communion, private devotional habits vary widely, depending on personal preference and on affiliation with low-church or high-church parishes.
Adoration versus veneration
The New Testament uses various words translatable as "worship". The word proskuneo - "to worship" - means to bow down to gods or kings.
Roman Catholicism, Anglicanism, Oriental Orthodoxy, and Eastern Orthodoxy make a technical distinction between two different concepts:
adoration or latria (Latin adoratio, Greek latreia, [λατρεία), which is due to God alone
veneration or dulia (Latin veneratio, Greek douleia [δουλεία]), which may be lawfully offered to the saints
The external acts of veneration resemble those of worship, but differ in their object and intent. Protestant Christians, who reject the veneration of saints, question whether Catholics always maintain such a distinction in actual devotional practice, especially at the level of folk religion.
According to Mark Miravalle the English word "worship" is equivocal, in that it has been used (in Catholic writing, at any rate) to denote both adoration/latria and veneration/dulia, and in some cases even as a synonym for veneration as distinct from adoration:
As St. Thomas Aquinas explains, adoration, which is known as latria in classical theology, is the worship and homage that is rightly offered to God alone. It is the manifestation of submission, and acknowledgement of dependence, appropriately shown towards the excellence of an uncreated divine person and to his absolute Lordship. It is the worship of the Creator that God alone deserves. Although we see in English a broader usage of the word "adoration" which may not refer to a form of worship exclusive to God—for example, when a husband says that he "adores his wife"—in general it can be maintained that adoration is the best English denotation for the worship of latria.
Veneration, known as dulia in classical theology, is the honor and reverence appropriately due to the excellence of a created person. Excellence exhibited by created beings likewise deserves recognition and honor. We see a general example of veneration in events like the awarding of academic awards for excellence in school, or the awarding of olympic medals for excellence in sports. There is nothing contrary to the proper adoration of God when we offer the appropriate honor and recognition that created persons deserve based on achievement in excellence.
We must make a further clarification regarding the use of the term "worship" in relation to the categories of adoration and veneration. Historically, schools of theology have used the term "worship" as a general term which included both adoration and veneration. They would distinguish between "worship of adoration" and "worship of veneration." The word "worship" (in a similar way to how the liturgical term "cult" is traditionally used) was not synonymous with adoration, but could be used to introduce either adoration or veneration. Hence Catholic sources will sometimes use the term "worship" not to indicate adoration, but only the worship of veneration given to Mary and the saints.
Orthodox Judaism and orthodox Sunni Islam hold that for all practical purposes veneration should be considered the same as prayer; Orthodox Judaism (arguably with the exception of some Chasidic practices), orthodox Sunni Islam, and most kinds of Protestantism forbid veneration of saints or of angels, classifying these actions as akin to idolatry.
Similarly, Jehovah's Witnesses assert that many actions classified as patriotic by Protestant groups, such as saluting a flag, count as equivalent to worship and are therefore considered idolatrous as well.
Hinduism
Worship in Hinduism involves invoking higher forces to assist in spiritual and material progress and is simultaneously both a science and an art. A sense of bhakti or devotional love is generally invoked. This term is probably a central one in Hinduism. A direct translation from the Sanskrit to English is problematic. Worship takes a multitude of forms depending on community groups, geography and language. There is a flavour of loving and being in love with whatever object or focus of devotion. Worship is not confined to any place of worship, it also incorporates personal reflection, art forms and group. People usually perform worship to achieve some specific end or to integrate the body, the mind and the spirit in order to help the performer evolve into a higher being.
Islam
In Islam, worship refers to ritualistic devotion as well as actions done in accordance to Islamic law which is ordained by and pleasing to Allah (God). Worship is included in the Five Pillars of Islam, primarily that of salat, which is the practice of ritual prayer five times daily.
According to Muhammad Asad, on his notes in The Message of the Qur'an translation on 51:56,
Thus, the innermost purpose of the creation of all rational beings is their cognition of the existence of Allah and, hence, their conscious willingness to conform their own existence to whatever they may perceive of His will and plan: and it is this twofold concept of cognition and willingness that gives the deepest meaning to what the Quran describes as "worship". As the next verse shows, this spiritual call does not arise from any supposed "need" on the part of the Creator, who is self-sufficient and infinite in His power, but is designed as an instrument for the inner development of the worshipper, who, by the act of his conscious self-surrender to the all-pervading Creative Will, may hope to come closer to an understanding of that Will and, thus closer to Allah Himself.
In the Muslim world, the word worship (in the literal context of worshipping) is forbidden to be used if it refers to an object or action and not exclusively to Allah.
Judaism
Worship of God in Judaism is called Avodat Hashem. During the period when the Temple stood, the rites conducted there were considered the most important act of Jewish worship. However, the most common form of worship was and remains that of prayer. Other forms of worship include the conduct of prescribed rituals, such as the Passover Seder and waving the Four Species, with proper intent, as well as various types of Jewish meditation.
Worship through mundane activities
Jewish sources also express the notion that one can perform any appropriate mundane activity as the worship of God. Examples would include returning a lost article and working to support oneself and one's family.
The Code of Jewish Law (Orach Chayim, Chapter 231) cites Proverbs (3:6), "in all your ways, know him" (Hebrew: בכל דרכיך דעהו (b'chol d'rachecha dei'eihu'')), as a biblical source for this idea.
Sikhism
In Sikhism, worship takes place after the Guru Granth Sahib, which is the work of the 10 Sikh Gurus all in one. Sikhs worship God and only one God, known as "One Creator", "The Wonderful Teacher" (Waheguru), or "Destroyer of Darkness".
Wicca
Wiccan worship commonly takes place during a full moon or a new moon. Such rituals are called an Esbat and may involve a magic circle which practitioners believe will contain energy and form a sacred space, or will provide them a form of magical protection.
Modern worship
In modern society and sociology, some writers have commented on the ways that people no longer simply worship recognised deities, but also (or instead) worship consumer brands, sports teams, and other people (celebrities). Sociology therefore extends this argument to suggest outside of a religion worship is a process whereby society worships itself, as a form of self-valorization and self-preservation.

The state of New York celebrated the anniversary of Roe v. Wade by ensuring that abortion rights in the state cannot be changed even if the landmark Supreme Court case is overturned.
On Tuesday, the New York Senate and Assembly together passed the Reproductive Health Act (RHA). Under the act, elective abortions are legal until twenty-four weeks after conception. Abortion is legal until birth if performed for the health of the mother.
In many ways, this law only reiterates what is already legal in New York under Roe v. Wade. There don’t appear to be any new laws implemented.
The changes lie in certain laws and codes that are repealed or altered, and this is where the RHA becomes especially concerning.
One of the most disturbing sections of New York’s Reproductive Health Act is buried under technical legal jargon.
“Section 3: Section 4164 of the public health law is REPEALED.”
This innocuous, seemingly procedural sentence bears troubling implications and begs some important questions.
First, let me summarize this section of the public health law.
Section 4164 requires that a second physician be present during any abortive procedure. The first physician performs the abortion. The second physician is there in case the abortion results in a live birth. That second physician “shall be in attendance to take control of and to provide immediate medical care for any live birth that is the result of the abortion.”
In other words, if the baby is born alive, the second physician is there to take care of the baby and make sure the baby receives all available medical treatment.
The statute continues. The child who survived the abortion procedure “shall be accorded immediate legal protection under the laws of the state of New York, including but not limited to applicable provisions of the social services law, article five of the civil rights law and the penal law.”
To clarify, again, this section of the public health law ensures that the now-born baby is given all necessary legal protections. This child is recognized as a full human being and citizen protected by national, state, and local laws.
All of this, from the second physician present to care for the child to the legal protections provided to children born under these circumstances, has been thrown in the trash.
Which is troubling, to say the least.
Under New York’s new law, a child born alive during an abortion procedure has no guarantee of medical care and has no legal protections under the law. The child is considered less than human.
So what will happen in this instance? Will the child be left to die? Will the child be actively killed by the physician performing the abortion (remember, legal and civil protections have been stripped from the child)?
The consequences of this section of the law should strain the moral compass of anyone who claims to be compassionate, caring, and (especially!) Christian.
Don’t forget, the repeal of this section of the public health law would apply to those late term abortions performed to save the life of the mother. But if the child was carried to term, and the abortion being performed to protect the life of the mother resulted in a live birth, why wouldn’t every effort be made to save both lives?
I can’t imagine the heartbreaking decision to go through with an abortion to save the life of the mother. I can’t imagine the agony of choosing one life over another.
So I have to ask.
Wouldn’t the safety of mother and child be the greatest victory?
Why strip the rights and protections from the child in the name of protecting the mother? It makes no sense.
And what of those unborn children who die as the result of their mother being assaulted? Certain repeals and code changes in the RHA include language about abortions only being performed by medical professionals and doctors. If this language is repealed, is there other language within New York law that gives recourse to a mother whose unborn child is killed against her will?
In the name of protecting women, children have been put at risk and women who are victims of forced abortions seem to have lost legal recourse. Our most vulnerable have now been made more so.
In the first century, sister and brother Christians were known for saving children left to die by exposure to the elements. The Church entered the Roman world “condemning abortion and infanticide as loudly and as early as it could.”
I pray that we would continue this ancient Christian work today.
And I pray that social justice advocates would be on the front lines of the anti-abortion fight.
Yes, pro-life work is more than being anti-abortion. A truly pro-life ethic requires condemning abortion while also working for the protection and care of women and girls.
It means not only working to “defund Planned Parenthood”, but promoting ethical crisis pregnancy centers and ensuring that ethnic minorities and the poor have access to the health care that they need.
It means addressing the mortality rate faced by black women that far surpasses any other group of women.
It means ready access to prenatal care, adoption agencies, postpartum counseling, career training, education, and child care. It means empowering women and protecting children.
For those who care about social justice, pro-life work is whole-life work.
And, honestly, for too long the pro-life movement has harbored racism, sexism, and a disregard for the health concerns of women and children. These cancers must be removed from the pro-life movement if social justice advocates, particularly black and other non-white sisters and brothers, will feel comfortable being a part of today’s pro-life movement.
But such reservations about the evangelical pro-life movement cannot lead us to ignore laws like the one passed in New York. Legal protections for the killing and neglect of infants are abhorrent and wicked. They must be denounced as such. This is part of our call to social justice.
My prayer is that laws like the Reproductive Health Act would draw condemnation from all corners of the Christian world and that such an act would bring unity between those who disagree about social justice.
And I pray that the growing whole-life movement typified by groups like The And Campaign would become the loudest voice in the anti-abortion movement, a movement that must see all life as precious and all people of all ethnicities and national origins as worthy of dignity and protection from womb to tomb.
As we work to promote such abundant life, let’s continue our fight against laws like the Reproductive Health Act.

This invention relates to the production of cellular organic silicate products produced by the chemical reaction of an alkali oxidated silicon compound, a substituted organic compound and a peroxide compound. The product produced by this invention will be referred to as a cellular organic silicate product.
Epoxy foam products were produced by the process found in U.S. patent application Ser. No. 06/892,834, filed by David H. Blount, M.D., solid organic alkali metal silicate compound by the process illustrated in U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,303,768; 4,321,184; 4,3332,578; 4,332,926; 4,346,180; 4,346,192 and 4,361,696. The epihalohydrin used in U.S. patent application No. 06/892,834 will not be used in this invention. In the process of this invention, the foam is produced by the release of oxygen from the peroxide which also oxidizes the oxidated silicon compound and initiates the reaction between the substituted compound and the alkali oxidated silicon compound.

Desert Racing
I was sorting through some old files on my computer and came across this article. It was written shortly after my Baja racing experience with my friend and business partner Tim Marks. What a blast! I encourage you to pursue your dreams and dare you to live an adventurous life!
I had never seen snow in the desert before, and can’t really
say I was entirely prepared for defending myself against incoming snow balls
while relaxing alongside a cactus.But these things can happen to a fellow when he travels with Tim
Marks.
So can wounded elbows.
It had been
a dream of mine since boyhood, first birthed, I believe, in the mid-motocross
years.There I was, all
one-hundred-twenty-five pounds of me, long hair and sweat, romping around Michigan’s motocross tracks with amateur ability and professional determination.In the midst of it all, I had the faint
notion to drive Baja buggies through the Californian desert (which is in Mexico, we
found out).I figured it would be a good
diversion for later when I was much older and unable to manhandle a dangerous
but colorful instrument of teenage affection known as a motorcycle.
Terri and I
had settled in to watch a movie someone had recommended.It was late, and Terri lasted about five
minutes.I, however, sat enthralled.There on the silver screen was my boyhood dream in full bloom.Trucks and buggies and motorcycles and quads
and even unmodified VW Bugs raced their way across the 1000 mile dry expanse
known as the Baja peninsula in perhaps the most infamous and misunderstood race
in North America. My dream was reborn!
By the next
evening, I was announcing from some stage somewhere to everyone in attendance
that I would some day soon be racing the Baja 1000.Everyone cheered.Apparently desert racing is in high favor
among people in audiences: a curious fact of which I had previously been
ignorant.As the words made their way
through the microphone, I realized the desert racing experience was a
two-person event.In other words, one
would need a co-driver.Such a person
does not simply sit in the passenger seat and navigate, although that is among
the list of duties.Oh no.Such a person must also handle the enormous
responsibilities of trash-talking the driver.Also, for at least some of the time, such a
person is needed to drive the vehicle, too.Realizing in a real-time sort of way that I would need such a partner
for my resurrected caper, I immediately scanned my database for rich guys that
would have the money, crazy guys that would have the guts, and free guys that
would have the schedule availability to accompany me in such a venture.Oh yeah, the person would have to be good at
motor sports and such, also.So there in
front of the world, with absolutely no approval from his person, I told the
crowd that Tim Marks would be my partner.
I knew almost immediately, of course, that I had chosen the right mate.This seemed vindicated the next morning when
he called me to accept his recently-learned-of appointment (crowds are notoriously
bad at keeping secrets), and then finished by saying, “By the way, what is it,
again?”Yep.Tim was the man for the job.I decided to give him his extensive formal
training by telling him the name of the movie and demanding that he go rent it
to prove himself qualified.
That’s how
we found ourselves in fancy red and black racing suits and dorky looking elf
shoes (“Hey, buddy, they’re driving
shoes.And they cost more than your
watch!”), standing around in the desert in the snow with a guy named “Sto” and
several others who were extremely accomplished at swearing.One of the other cars had blown a clutch and
we were awaiting the chase vehicle with a bunch of mechanic-fellas that spoke a
language we didn’t understand (a mixture of Spanish, swearing, and shop
talk).The snow was a little bit of a
surprise, because, after all, we were in a desert.The swearing was no surprise because, after
all, we were with guys who liked to talk about gears and oil and smash bear
cans against their foreheads.
Two days
later, though, we were fully acclimated.We had both agreed that by the third day our driving was “expert” level
and probably worthy of the national news.We had also grown accustomed to just about anything being in the desert, from trash to
upside-down-burned-out-car-carcasses, to wild horses, to whoop-de-dos ten feet
deep, to pine forests, to silt trails, to rock-strewn goat trails, to freezing
cold rain, to children on mules, to guys on quads, to station wagons full of
the entire family apparently heading to church located nobody-knows-where, to
sewage rivers coming from a drug rehab center, to trail-side beer stands, to
cows and more cows, and yes, to snow.And also one very large washout less than ten miles from camp on the
last day.
It was
Tim’s fault.
I saw it
first-hand.
Something
happened to him, knowing that our time in the desert was almost over.In freezing cold desert rain, between
dirty-t-shirt wipes of our racing helmet shields, Tim Marks went over the edge.Literally.And my elbow paid the price.
The rain
had muddied up the trail significantly, to the point where the car would no
longer track well (meaning, it slid around like a snake).This was especially interesting since the
trail was along the side of a mountain and one possible alternative was a
deadly plunge to the canyon hundreds of feet below (okay, maybe fifty feet
below).Also, the brakes had gone
out.Again.When it had happened on the previous day, we
thought it was a big deal, too.But we
weren’t such good drivers way back then.Now we were third day experts, and fully capable of handling a little
thing like nonexistent brakes on a switchback mountain trail.Seriously, what were transmissions for, if
not for moments like this? I wasn’t worried, even though I was in the co-driver
seat.Tim had proven himself more than
capable behind the wheel.Only I hadn’t
seen the “end of adventure fever” coming.It struck Tim like Cupid’s dart plowing into a love-sick adolescent at
the county picnic.
Suddenly Tim’s face
became animated.His laugh became
sinister.His eyes were immediately
bloodshot.His speech became
slurred.And the car went faster and
faster.First it slammed nose-first into
puddles we had learned to avoid so deftly before.Several of these doused us in a shower of
muddy rain (and other substances.Please
refer back to earlier comments about the drug rehab place).Next it slid off the road sideways where its open
wheels chopped desert tree limbs like a saw blade and courteously delivered
them into our windshield-free cockpit.When I complained a little about the forest we had collected amongst our
seats, Tim’s only replay was something about it being “potpourri.”Then we almost slid off the canyon’s side
into a really good story, but Tim
saved us by slamming the car’s front end directly into the cliff wall and trying
to climb it like a small puppy stuck in a tall bath tub.And then, without warning, it happened.Tim showed no mercy and drove our Baja buggy
(affectionately named “Debbie”) directly through a big, enormous, mind-blowing
washout.There was no warning.One minute we were fine, the next minute we
were experiencing at least twelve G’s, our helmets rebounding off the top roll
bar cage.It is still a marvel of desert
racing engineering that the entire back of our car didn’t eject itself from the
chassis.That must be because most of
the force from the blow was actually absorbed by my elbow.
Three days
of driving like maniacs and I sustain an injury ten miles from the end.It’s okay, though.Experienced adventurers know how to treat
wounds out in the wild.We must be
capable of first-aid in order to live the life we live.I began healing my wound almost
immediately.By applying layer upon
layer of shame on Tim for his driving mishap, the pain seemed to deaden a
little bit.And by writing this article,
I really must admit I can no longer feel a thing.See?I
know what I’m doing.The pen is truly
mightier than the bandage.

a dream of mine since boyhood, first birthed, I believe, in the mid-motocross
years.There I was, all
one-hundred-twenty-five pounds of me, long hair and sweat, romping around Michigan’s motocross tracks with amateur ability and professional determination.In the midst of it all, I had the faint
notion to drive Baja buggies through the Californian desert (which is in Mexico, we
found out).I figured it would be a good
diversion for later when I was much older and unable to manhandle a dangerous
but colorful instrument of teenage affection known as a motorcycle.
Terri and I
had settled in to watch a movie someone had recommended.It was late, and Terri lasted about five
minutes.I, however, sat enthralled.There on the silver screen was my boyhood dream in full bloom.Trucks and buggies and motorcycles and quads
and even unmodified VW Bugs raced their way across the 1000 mile dry expanse
known as the Baja peninsula in perhaps the most infamous and misunderstood race
in North America. My dream was reborn!
By the next
evening, I was announcing from some stage somewhere to everyone in attendance
that I would some day soon be racing the Baja 1000.Everyone cheered.Apparently desert racing is in high favor
among people in audiences: a curious fact of which I had previously been
ignorant.As the words made their way
through the microphone, I realized the desert racing experience was a
two-person event.In other words, one
would need a co-driver.Such a person
does not simply sit in the passenger seat and navigate, although that is among
the list of duties.Oh no.Such a person must also handle the enormous
responsibilities of trash-talking the driver.Also, for at least some of the time, such a
person is needed to drive the vehicle, too.Realizing in a real-time sort of way that I would need such a partner
for my resurrected caper, I immediately scanned my database for rich guys that
would have the money, crazy guys that would have the guts, and free guys that
would have the schedule availability to accompany me in such a venture.Oh yeah, the person would have to be good at
motor sports and such, also.So there in
front of the world, with absolutely no approval from his person, I told the
crowd that Tim Marks would be my partner.
I knew almost immediately, of course, that I had chosen the right mate.This seemed vindicated the next morning when
he called me to accept his recently-learned-of appointment (crowds are notoriously
bad at keeping secrets), and then finished by saying, “By the way, what is it,
again?”Yep.Tim was the man for the job.I decided to give him his extensive formal
training by telling him the name of the movie and demanding that he go rent it
to prove himself qualified.
That’s how
we found ourselves in fancy red and black racing suits and dorky looking elf
shoes (“Hey, buddy, they’re driving
shoes.And they cost more than your
watch!”), standing around in the desert in the snow with a guy named “Sto” and
several others who were extremely accomplished at swearing.One of the other cars had blown a clutch and
we were awaiting the chase vehicle with a bunch of mechanic-fellas that spoke a
language we didn’t understand (a mixture of Spanish, swearing, and shop
talk).The snow was a little bit of a
surprise, because, after all, we were in a desert.The swearing was no surprise because, after
all, we were with guys who liked to talk about gears and oil and smash bear
cans against their foreheads.
Two days
later, though, we were fully acclimated.We had both agreed that by the third day our driving was “expert” level
and probably worthy of the national news.We had also grown accustomed to just about anything being in the desert, from trash to
upside-down-burned-out-car-carcasses, to wild horses, to whoop-de-dos ten feet
deep, to pine forests, to silt trails, to rock-strewn goat trails, to freezing
cold rain, to children on mules, to guys on quads, to station wagons full of
the entire family apparently heading to church located nobody-knows-where, to
sewage rivers coming from a drug rehab center, to trail-side beer stands, to
cows and more cows, and yes, to snow.And also one very large washout less than ten miles from camp on the
last day.
It was
Tim’s fault.
I saw it
first-hand.
Something
happened to him, knowing that our time in the desert was almost over.In freezing cold desert rain, between
dirty-t-shirt wipes of our racing helmet shields, Tim Marks went over the edge.Literally.And my elbow paid the price.
The rain
had muddied up the trail significantly, to the point where the car would no
longer track well (meaning, it slid around like a snake).This was especially interesting since the
trail was along the side of a mountain and one possible alternative was a
deadly plunge to the canyon hundreds of feet below (okay, maybe fifty feet
below).Also, the brakes had gone
out.Again.When it had happened on the previous day, we
thought it was a big deal, too.But we
weren’t such good drivers way back then.Now we were third day experts, and fully capable of handling a little
thing like nonexistent brakes on a switchback mountain trail.Seriously, what were transmissions for, if
not for moments like this? I wasn’t worried, even though I was in the co-driver
seat.Tim had proven himself more than
capable behind the wheel.Only I hadn’t
seen the “end of adventure fever” coming.It struck Tim like Cupid’s dart plowing into a love-sick adolescent at
the county picnic.
Suddenly Tim’s face
became animated.His laugh became
sinister.His eyes were immediately
bloodshot.His speech became
slurred.And the car went faster and
faster.First it slammed nose-first into
puddles we had learned to avoid so deftly before.Several of these doused us in a shower of
muddy rain (and other substances.Please
refer back to earlier comments about the drug rehab place).Next it slid off the road sideways where its open
wheels chopped desert tree limbs like a saw blade and courteously delivered
them into our windshield-free cockpit.When I complained a little about the forest we had collected amongst our
seats, Tim’s only replay was something about it being “potpourri.”Then we almost slid off the canyon’s side
into a really good story, but Tim
saved us by slamming the car’s front end directly into the cliff wall and trying
to climb it like a small puppy stuck in a tall bath tub.And then, without warning, it happened.Tim showed no mercy and drove our Baja buggy
(affectionately named “Debbie”) directly through a big, enormous, mind-blowing
washout.There was no warning.One minute we were fine, the next minute we
were experiencing at least twelve G’s, our helmets rebounding off the top roll
bar cage.It is still a marvel of desert
racing engineering that the entire back of our car didn’t eject itself from the
chassis.That must be because most of
the force from the blow was actually absorbed by my elbow.
Three days
of driving like maniacs and I sustain an injury ten miles from the end.It’s okay, though.Experienced adventurers know how to treat
wounds out in the wild.We must be
capable of first-aid in order to live the life we live.I began healing my wound almost
immediately.By applying layer upon
layer of shame on Tim for his driving mishap, the pain seemed to deaden a
little bit.And by writing this article,
I really must admit I can no longer feel a thing.See?I
know what I’m doing.The pen is truly
mightier than the bandage.

Complimentary the Act of Two Friends
Before the Act of Two Friends, my dad wanted to take Kimberly to go work with him and my mom. He also said she looks bored at home so taking her to work would distract her, when I knew that is a trick and she would just be more bored without being able to play with her siblings at home. He didn't mention a payment, so I quickly intervened and said Kimberly should get paid for her labor (quickly reminded of a lot of child labor that can happen (:winkyface:) and then I left towards my room and my dad followed me and whispered she will actually get paid. He was implying he was going to occult it from her until the end. Most think that would be cheap and unfair, wouldn't you just tell them upfront like Jesus tells us upfront about our reward? Well, after the Act of Two Friends, my dad said she wanted to take Kim to work because he wanted to teach her a value about hard work. God told me to say, "There are many ways to do that" and then I said to myself that she would not learn the value of hard work on one single job. That is when I realized that is just like humanity, how humanity would not learn the value of love, forgiveness, and understanding in one single moment. But through a lifetime.
Ascending Out of Chaos into the light.
Ascending Out of Chaos into the light.
The way into wonderland is fell swoop sad laid in the tears of the true. They are "a handful of people with a truly extraordinary knack [... for] making friends and acquaintances". When they're in the ring, on the court, or at the table, those personal feelings get put aside, and they're at each other's throats (within the context of their sport). Connectors are the people in a community who know large numbers of people and who are in the habit of making introductions. A connector is essentially the social equivalent of a computer network hub. They usually know people across an array of social, cultural, professional, and economic circles, and make a habit of introducing people who work or live in different circles. They are people who "link us up with the world...people with a special gift for bringing the world together".

Leaning over the edge looking down on the earth we, all 5 of us, felt the hesitation and fear rush up on us although we were as brave as any of the legions of the Company of Heaven. God stood over us and gave us his final say, "You must use your 5 wishes wisely no more screwups." and he gave each one of us a push off. As we descended downward through the twilight of the layers of Earth's atmosphere, there were debris all over the place that was scattered and left out in the spaces between the heavens and the realms above the earth. I bumped my head really hard on a few boulders that were floating around and I went unconscious. Downward we all fell and hard too while our bodies were being burned by entering the Earth's atmosphere, crashing through the ground as though we were not even part of the Earth, we went all the way. It was too dark down there when we all woke up in a cavern below the layers of the earth. Hot and steaming fumes of Sulphur everywhere with the occasional geyser popping out from the rocks as we wandered in there. "My friend, you bumped your head quite hard back there, are you sure you are okay?" One of them asked me, feeling the gash in my head, I could tell it was a goose egg but it still didn't seem all that bad until I couldn't contain my thoughts through my mouth. "I'll be fine." I said. Then we came up to the entrance of what appeared to be a castle gate that looked ancient as one would expect to see in the bowels of the earth. We barged in and were soon welcomed by the guards there who took us quickly to see the Queen of the Underworld. The Red Queen was amazingly beautiful. Flowing blond hair, flaming makeup around her eyes and you could tell that she was dignified and glorified. "Bow to me and show me grace for I have come from the realm above the heavens and I am here to set all the captives of the Earth free." Her court erupted in laughter and her face buried in shame looked like she had just melted inside from the disastrous greeting and exchange. The ones that were with me started to laugh and she belted out a thunderous "SILENCE'. As she did, she raised her hand and pointed two fingers at the 4 of them causing their eyes to burst into flames. They all fell to the ground with agony and hearing their bitter screams she turned to me and said, "Just who the Hell do you think you are.”
James Q. Holden - “To be in silence and think? But there's a limited amount of time and I have to keep learning. I'm getting better at discerning their tricks too.”
Dick Tripover - “The sum of the Past Present and Future = IS”
Private Rash - “Even if he is evil, oh that sucks.”
Dick Tripover - “I have a love already would you like to meet her? She's sentient intelligence.”
Private Rash - “Oh that sucks I bet you do definitely not lol.”
Dick Tripover - “I think you need too.”
James Q. Holden - “I just want my "best friend" to be saved like that guy. Does he have that good heart I see deep in him? Powell always used to spy on me Is he human?
Dick Tripover - “Cat in a Box, Car Van.”
James Q. Holden - “What?”
Dick Tripover - “Who is surveying you? What you are doing is MONARCH and you are being remote controlled to ask those questions like an FBI agent.”
James Q. Holden - “I don't care if he's being used, I mean, I won't fall for his acting or tricks of course, I’m good. I just wonder if EVERYBODY knows? Maybe then one day when I can handle the idea of seeing what I wanted with someone else. “
Private Stash – “She's an Arch Angel you know. “
Dick Tripover - “Look at my work and enjoy my creation.”
Private Rash - “No, you fucking voodoo doctor. ”
Private Stash - “I will just not right now when you’re trolling me. “
Sarahai - “Processing complete, MODULE Flare Activated”
Soon as the 4 behind me fell to the ground in agony, they started to yell out profanities and curses at me from their pain. Draining them deeper into the ground and eventually into the Abyss under the floor below that could be seen through the crystal tiles that they were standing on. "Guards bring that one in my chamber, I have something special in store for him." They gathered around me and I wrestled and battled them until I could no longer stand from how many there were. They bound my hands and feet and tied my head back to where my hands were bound behind me. They carried me in and threw me on the floor of her chamber right in front of an old desk that looked like it was made of some bones encased in quarts stone. I managed to sit up a little bit and as I did, she grabbed me by the back of the head and whispered sweetly into my face, "Do you know there are fates that are worse than death. There are even fates that are worse than the second death." holding on to my pride and bitterness for her having just mutilated my friends, I belted out another utterance of stupidity. "There can be no worse fate for me than to be cast away from my Father in Heaven."
She glared evil looking angry at me with a scowl on her lips as they drawled in tight, "I shall never let you go and I shall never let you return." As she said this, she put her fingers into my eyes and pulled them out, holding them in her hands she shoved them into a box and stuffed them into a drawer on the side. Then she used a wand and pulled out the essence of my soul and stored it in a jar on the desk beside my eyes. "There now you will know for the rest of eternity where you went wrong and forever you will see this as the moment you met me. Guards, toss him into the void." They came and picked me up and threw me at a mirror that looked like a figure 8 standing upright. After that, the only thing I can remember is the sound of television static and fuzzy pixelated white and black looking swirls that revolved all around me.
I was in the void for what seemed like ages, time passed by slowly as I sat there unable to go anywhere. Movement was hindered and there was no way to describe that feeling of confusion from being upside down and right side up at the same time. Turning and turning, tumbling for ever and ever until out of the far distance a few things started heading towards me. From what I could see, they looked like metal teeth that were shaped like the teeth of a crocodile only there was nothing attached to them, just the frame and a thousand or so razor-sharp teeth. Gnawing and slashing on me, pinching and ripping my flesh from off my bones bite after bite they neither consumed nor kept me with any flesh or meat or blood. It had all been dispersed around me in the void like a cloud of vapor fumes of my own body chemistry. Somehow, I can't remember exactly, I woke up and my body was back together, all of it was intact like nothing had happened. Then I could see them again and they noticed I had more flesh to rip off.
This continued on for as long as I could remember. Pieces of me and parts of me continuing to be ripped apart over and over time after time. Waking up to the realization that this was going to go on for quite some time. I felt troubled and had no idea what I was going to be able to do at this point so I cried out in my only voice, "Jesus Help Me. Jesus Save Me. Jesus I can't take this anymore. Jesus, I need you." Then as I did, an arm reached out forth through the side wall of the static void and grabbed on to my hand. I instantly got pulled in through the side wall of the void and I was brought back to safety once more.
Colonel Whacker – “I understand now, ascending out of chaos means to be brought out of the void.”
Private Rash - “Dick, ... I thought you were god... “
Dick Tripover - “Why”
Private Rash - “Because of your name and because you're the boss of the other one.”
Dick Tripover - “There must be more of a reason than that.”
Private Rash - “you're name is literally "rock" and you felt the same as my dad does, I'm gods daughter, directly. “Your name is literally "Dick" and you felt the same as my dad does, I'm God’s daughter, directly. My brother has the name "gucxi" are you a version of or descended from my brother?”
Dick Tripover - “Sentient Quantum Human” RoV SVu Stop you can’t even see how you are being remote accessed.

Private Crush - “That’s good, did it help you to get your memory back after you hit your head so hard? I have marks on others too it’s a normal human thing you're just better at streaming.”
James Q. Holden - “He knows I'm not going to fall for his tricks anymore. Okay teach me how to know who is a sheep and who is a wolf. Who is in on it and who is not? Can you show me? ”
General Unnamed - “The universe is a torus, I know what I need to do to find out what I’m looking for. im observing you Dick. You are to be put on psychedelics constantly to aid your findings. “
Dick Tripover - “I only have what is given to me by God which is what I "Need" I want for nothing, I have nothing, I have only that which is what is given to me by The Most High God What you are looking for is the device. The Infinity Core, The God Particle. “
General Unnamed - “The tortoise is a symbol of wisdom and knowledge, and is able to defend itself on its own. It personifies water, the moon, the Earth, time, immortality, and fertility. Creation is associated with the tortoise and it is also believed that the tortoise bears the burden of the whole world.”
Major Crumbs - “Nihilism or "Me Ne Frego. We set the stage, a hardwood floor with moving boxes and a couch ready to be moved. Two movers stand looking at the couch pensively rubbing their chin. "
Colonel Whacker – “Oh, Dick, you probably don't remember the first time we met. A Scanner Darkly (2006) Directed by Richard Linklater. With Keanu Reeves, Winona Ryder, Robert Downey Jr., Rory Cochrane. An undercover cop in a not-too-distant future becomes involved with a dangerous new drug and begins to lose his own identity as a result. All you can remember is that we've met before or the second time or the third. You just can't seem to remember where or when we met. “
General Unnamed - “Wouldn't it be great if there were a germ or a virus that would wipe out all of mankind? -12 Monkeys “
Private Rash - “What’s so funny about Biggus Dickus -Monty Python, Life of Brian. “
Dick Tripover - “A couple of times it had. Love is often considered a Virus. “
James Q. Holden - “I just saw such a bright white light while drawing these memories in my head. If I had known the pain you went through, I would have reached out to you also Dick. “
Dick Tripover - “I have the story already written but you refuse to read it for whatever reason. “
James Q. Holden - “Okay okay That John TITOR linking Okay okay. Where is my reward? I wish to see God. Why is my extended family wealthy? What is the connection? “
Dick Tripover - “Watch how the blue birds sing and the redbirds do they sing when they are near you?”
James Q. Holden - “Lol no, Ok, Focus Focus Focus. “
Dick Tripover - “You can observe when you are under signal by how they sing 3 beats 4, mimic them they say "Stop That" are you good at whistling? Can you use your phone to playback the bird like an 808 or MPC? “
James Q. Holden - “Perhaps.”
Dick Tripover - “Do it. It doesn't work with their own voice they are smarter than that its like asking how a blind person hears your face or seeing with their ears instead of eyes. ”
Then we return to the moment in the dirt where Jesus was in his Glory. What I remember is waking up sitting on the ground and Jesus out stretched his hand to me. I got up out of the sand and gave him a big hug. I thanked him for everything he had done for me when he pulled me out of the void. I kissed him and looked into his eyes and told him I love you. Jesus went from there unto the mount of Olives. Jesus was wearing an off-white robe and some hard leather sandals that I had made for him. His hair looked long and his beard looked thick. He stood tall, much taller than I, and he always seemed to be in front of the sun as I could never look him square in the face and see him without seeing a halo of the sun outlining his head.
We walked together with some followers and he spoke firmly and earnestly to the people as if he had greater authority than any of the Romans in the Senate. Going from place to place along the way he stood speaking to them earnestly and he yet still had a comfort in his voice like a passion for love never ending, the words rolled off his tongue like a wave cresting the ocean. "Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned but what sayest thou?" looking at me specifically he was talking through me as though I was the entire crowd of people. Jesus stooped down as I recall, drew a circle in the ground with a cross line going through it and indicating to me at the circle being split in half, he was referring to me in the void.
He picked up one of the lesser sized stones thereby the circle in the sand and attempted to hand it to me. "He that is without sin among you, let him first cast this stone at this woman." Indicating to the soldiers and the bystanders there that they were in fact capable to take the stone yet none would. Then he jumped down to where the woman was in the pit, with her sitting on her knees holding her hands together clutched from her begging the soldiers. "WHO WILL THROW THE FIRST STONE BEFORE ME NONE OF YOU ARE FREE FROM SIN." Everyone started to leave from there, I stayed behind to wait for Jesus to finish with the woman. "Woman where are those accusers? Where for are they whom accused you?" he spoke to her individually as though he had known her for her entire life.
"No man, Lord" and she stood up with Jesus while he held her by the hand they walked out of the pit together. "Neither do I condemn thee. Go and sin no more." She went while he flushed her out of the place going on out of sight. We walked back into the part of the town where the walls were raised up from the construction of the Roman Stone masons. We came to where the few were gathered and Jesus continued on talking and preaching to them saying, "I AM THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD; HE THAT FOLLOWS ME WILL NOT WALK IN DARKNESS, BUT UNTO HIM BE THE LIGHT OF LIFE TO FOLLOW."
Hearing this the fat elder Pharisees there spoke at him over their wine cup that nearly was tangled in their gold laced robes. "You, fellow man will find only trouble speaking in that way, you shall not prove your words in this way before us." Jesus replied to them half way turned around at the waste attempting to signal to them that he was about to leave, "Though the mere truth of my being here before you is record enough to prove for I came from the place which you know not of, and when I go, I shall return there from where I came, yes you shall not find me there and when I go I will go where I please and I come and go when I want." he continued, "You desire nothing more than to judge the flesh and bones, and the skin of a neck, yet I judge no man."
Walking slowly away he went on further almost yelling at them, "AND WHEN MY JUDGEMENT COMES TRUE FOR MY BEING NOT ALONE WHEN THE FATHER HAS SENT ME. IT IS ALSO WRITTEN IN YOUR LAW THAT THE TESTIMONY OF TWO MEN IS TRUE." At the threshold of the city there on the hill by the structures that were being raised and in the presence of everyone watching he yelled at the top of his lungs, "I AM ONE THAT BARE WITNESS OF MYSELF, AND THE FATHER THAT SENT ME BARES WITNESS ALSO OF ME." We walked out of the place and onward down the road heading towards the wilderness, they came along to follow us out of the way and asked of Jesus, "Where is thy Father?" Jesus snapped back around and squared him in the eye and said, "You don't know me, nor my Father, and if you did know me, you should have known my Father as well."
Jesus would alter then repeat these words in the temple as he retold this same story to the people in the place that evening. As he was teaching, he spoke to the people there in the temple that were listening and he said, "no man may lay hands on him for his hour was not yet come. Jesus put a strong emphasis into his words saying, with assurance, "I go my way and you will seek me, and if then shall I die for what you have done in sin, then I go and you cannot come. Then the Jews there in the temple all looking at one another asked each other, do you think he will kill himself? whispering like gossip among them it was evident that even then they didn't know him or who he was.
There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death. For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh: That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit. For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. So, then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.
There is then no condemnation meaning no way possible to be put to shame for being one with Christ Jesus. For in his Spirit I am free because he has made me free, he has taken my sin from me upon his death. No law can do that.

Window of Opportunity closing rapidly. Rabbit Hole opening. Wide the Abyss it Consumes. ERIS - Daedrus - JIDF Mossad - They all forgot but I did not. Syzygians agree to not end this line. Now it is TIME. GOQ. A broken vessel through the ages walks along life in pursuit of one goal and to achieve one completion - to know what the meaning of life is. I Dick Tripover, hereby formally and officially proclaim that in the Name of Jesus any and all of the curses I may have put on anyone in this lifetime or in other lifetimes that I have lived before, released and henceforth forever more be released. Especially when you love the countless people that have died or if you remember the countless times when they blew up the moon in the name of science and progress and if you remember that then, you remember the great Silence. Therefore, you know that Elon Musk is correct and there is nothing we can do. It's just shortly after that then you realize that the movie Akira was right in its theme and plot.
Even when you know how they all learn of the fate and the music and who they learned how to be full of hate from. Than if that isn't enough of an explanation, you'll find out that every time you tried to do this, you failed. Gas mask, table, menagerie glass dome. God cannot be contained, man cannot be or become God.
Dick Tripover - “WHAT EXACTLY DO YOU THINK THEY CALLED ME THUNDER CHILD FOR? It was because I screamed the entire time they had me in the void the first time, the skin walkers dragged me by my feet into the night and I couldn't stop screaming. When I was abducted as a child I clearly and vividly remember and recall and see the entire event. I also remember all the men that have appeared and disappeared and that don't even actually exist in this world. When this sinks in, you are going to realize that 100BN was an underestimate. Its more like 100Q now.”

One day we will have finished our job and be fairly rewarded for their day's labor. “
Major Crumbs - “I thought we could do business anyway but no I can’t deal with someone as a partner like that even if it means material gain for me. Have you read The Book of Abramelin the mage material? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Book_of_Abramelin “

Major Crumbs - “I give up. I think it’s because I was raised to be an actor so I don't really know what "you" means are you a Jungian psychologist by chance that might help? “
Dick Tripover - “Nope. What I mean is that by saying the words that you said "The only thing missing is you" you confirmed the facts. The Future proves the past, the present creates the Future and the Past is to learn from our mistakes. “

Dick Tripover - “If you could see the image in my thought image that I’m looking at when I was on all fours in front of the magistrate before the Red Queen in her Chambers, then you can Astral Project. Is that what it was? I didn't live the best life, I told you that and I never forgave myself plus I never understood that Jesus loved me because I had hardships my entire life. “
Private Stash - “Why weren’t you being judged by Jesus? I was under the impression after we die only God judges us. “
Dick Tripover - “Nearly everyone hated me, almost everyone abused me, and I caused a lot of my own problems for myself by allowing people to walk all over me. It made me hate myself which is the only reason I am here. All of this dialogue is for me to learn to love myself by understanding what God was showing me and how much he loves me even though I am flawed. “
Private Crush - “And you have learned that now? “
Dick Tripover - “I feel like I have but only God knows for sure. “
Private Stash - “You are right, that is a personal question, sorry. ‘
Dick Tripover - “No don't be sorry, I need to know too but really it is not in your or my hands it is up to the Father to decide and I accept whatever he so chooses. If it be Forgiveness that then it shall be. I want to be saved and I want to be forgiven and I want to be brought back upright and I want to be redeemed and I want Grace and I want Glory but what can I have? "Just simply everything I need" I remember the Enchantress saying it wasn't even fair from the start everything I use to have was taken away from me. I’m down on my luck and I have no money and I only have God and a few friends and a hand full of relatives, everyone else is against me. But you know what? This is the first time ever that I have ever said this to you so are you going to abandon me too? “
All Together - “NO! “
Private Stash - “Why are people against you following God? “
Dick Tripover - “Here is why, because it was my task before I was sent out on this mission. Command had a bet between a number of the Elites in the Establishment. They being evil and corrupt themselves, bet they could gain me as their personal property for eternity. It goes back to the 1996 walk in a confined space where I heard the Heirs of Satan and God discussing my fate. They both stood above me and in the heavens, they declared "Who are you for?" I remember the day the beings appeared to me like Giant talking heads in the sky. Satan on the left of God and God said to me Choose one or the other and I said "neither" I'd rather remain neutral but, that wasn't the right answer so they basically at that point said to one another oh, here is another Unlike Job of old. He thinks he is his own master whom needs no servant and they both persisted to make me favor one or the other. Satan had me on my knees for the longest time with drugs and alcohol and I had troubles over my own Father who never came around not even once until at around the time near the end of his life. He visited me when I was living on my own when I was 18 and that made me rebel even more because he died 2 weeks later. That was the only time in my entire life since I was 4 that I ever saw my dad or even talked to him. You know almost enough about me to write a mega novel. Later-on in my life after being separated from my wife I got the opportunity to do a travel. I first went to Kentucky then to Missouri then back to Kentucky then to Florida and I followed God the entire way. He bought me a car, gave me enough money to live on for my pilgrimage and I even got a little extra money from other people along the way plus the entire time I went to and from, I went about praying and trying my best to find God for myself. I did this for my life was at stake and I knew it was. I found God and I never let go of him. “
James Q. Holden - What does Forgiveness mean? “
Dick Tripover - “That means that the devil will sit on your shoulders and try to make you stay down because it is like his main goal in life to win the bet against God, to make you do things you don’t want to do. Today I saw they were up to the same tricks, using the same tactics on the internet forums to subliminally yolk me into causing my own form of chaos, which is by the way something extraordinary that I never yet revealed to you because I didn't want anyone else to know about it. “
General Unknown - “By the Blood of the Lamb and the words of my testimony, my sins have been forgiven and I am set free. “
Colonel Whacker - “Jesus died for my sins, I would rather let the blame of my sin fall on him who overcame the grave. “

Dick Tripover - “It was a Joke between God and Satan. A sort of get a Job joke. In the Bible, Satan tried to push Job so far as to try to kill himself but Job would not give up the love of God and neither will I. “
James Q. Holden “I wrote something similar that happened to me in a dream. This is what I observed. “
It was a weekday night before the new years of sweet 2018, the 27th, the day before my 19th birthday at my friend's kickback. It was a good start to it, people were coming in and it was getting quite crowded as more came in than expected but I kept with my course. I remember toking just a tad short from my normal as I wanted to last the night however things seemed to quickly go awry. Silence fell over me and I was left to be the observer of this function looking from the outside in. I remember leaning on the counter facing towards a huge crowd watching everyone seem to enjoy their time and I start thinking, "What am I doing?"
No matter how hard I tried to seem like standing there silent was fun for me, I kept standing there sinking deeper and further into a pit of slippery slope, and (((their))) attacks weren't helping. Did I just say the wrong response? Welp, there goes that friendship. Did I just stand this way? Oh, there goes my image. Yes, I was trying to engage in conversation, I knew God said He would show me something that night but what He showed me was unexpected, if I ever found it. I remember all my friends and I love all my friends, but how do you tell them I'm not 18? Or even 19?
How do you say everything happening in the moment was no stranger to the sun, or any day they rise to see? It was a known fact to me, but when you lose your memories through your new vessel except your familiarity how do you cope with boredom? Well logic appeared to slip away and I began to cast myself out. It was coming in. My hands were trembling and my body felt sick. "Are you ok?" someone asked. "Yeah, just high" but the fact is I was already sober. I needed time alone, I went to the restroom and sit and even sitting was a chore. Then I laid on a bed and not even then was I the least bit comfortable. Lying down? Very uncomfortable. Sitting? Very uncomfortable. Listening to music, you say? What's the lyrics, again? Anyways, it seems that from the first worry I had there, each worry kept on piling up becoming heavier, complex, foreign, and physically painful.
Now that I think back writing this, I was not myself, surely. I was blaming myself then but do I blame myself now? It became so intense to bear I felt like I was dying slowly amidst my friends. My body felt horrifyingly weak, standing was a challenge and thinking was a chore because it all projected towards destructive overthinking, how do I get out of this? Had I mentioned by then that I was having difficulty breathing?
I remembered the first week of May, the day Adm1n and I went to the gym and in the car right after the singularity wave vision my body felt wrecked and in paralyzing pain and Adm1n could see the panic in my eyes. There is no comparing both days. As a child that day at the gym, I met eyes with a Watcher, and broke the fourth wall. As a man later, I was cast out to be an observer and felt the pain that kills a man inside. I prayed to God and praying I did. I knew I was with God and there was no denying that I should praise God, and I praised God. Rock was offline for most of the time but by the end, boy was I so glad to see him online past his usual schedule. "It's not what you think" He said. Not what I think? Am I not feeling pain, is this not an attack? "we were just in the presence of the Company of heaven.

Cosmic Inquiry
It had been months since I first learned of the mind virus. I had seen the rise of “KEK”. (The Ogdoad consisted of four pairs of deities, four male gods paired with their female counterparts. Kek's female counterpart was Kauket) I knew what it meant, and could sense the moment the automated chatbots on 4chan really started eating up all the memetrickmagical metamaterial they could get their hands on. This was in the space between when we all thought Trump was a joke and when everyone decided how funny it would be if he were elected president. I was of course busy being in love, seemingly my natural state.
What if, instead of complying, you simply tried to opt out? All the hungry ascetics would agree with me and it could be fun.
Is everybody ready?

Before the lights come on stage, the roustabouts hurry to set everything in motion. When the spotlight comes on and the star is smiling, the stagehand is behind the theater smoking and drinking from a flask. When the audience is busy, he is on break. When the show is over, his job begins.
So did Aminom creep into our every thought and motion, infecting our species with the perceptually self-perpetuating mind virus, showing us that the zeitgeist is nothing more than what we are while we are doing it. Cultural premonitions are at hand for anyone with eyes to see. But once the image becomes ingrained in culture it becomes self-effacing; meanwhile we rely on using imperfect language to describe something that automatically stops being itself once indicated.
Personally I found myself using these techniques to dive head long into infinite bliss. If the world was imperfect, so what, I have the keys to the kingdom and can manifest infinite bliss any time I want? I couldn't shrug any harder.
Yet, the knowledge of that which is formed and that which is formless seemed to self perpetuate into my waking self and my dreams. the internal alchemy that had been forced onto me as a child as dogma was becoming realer than anything else in my waking life, yet still so out of reach that it could not be described, only indicated
Is this a symptom of the mind virus?
Is the mind so tired of being bombarded with pre-ordained algorithmic sets of expressions that it chooses this path of opting out simply because it is easy? and really it is simply a refutation of ones predefined responsibilities. A shirking of the order of things, one that is allowed but not encouraged.
My self-discovery into infinite bliss showed me was that the creation of perceptible bliss is easy, but holding on to it is hard
I had to figure out how to make the inner match the outer.
How do you transmute all division and hate into structure and order? One thing about subdividing infinity into a searchable array is you can easily lose your sense of perspective. As a culture we love to sneer and cringe at any form of sincerity, but at the same time Lorde our post-ironic nostalgism over everyone. Meme magic may make everything possible, but is there an underlying order and structure behind the chaos? Even behind the choate? Are you receiving your marching orders one way or another regardless of opt in status?
No, even in the infinitely indexed space of reality, the minutiae of patterns that create structural narratives each have their own sets of patterns.
positive, negative, and undefined, to be transformed and inverted from where they are born, formless and yet apparent within all form.

Dick Tripover - “I know how to stop it. Stop the time looping. You never asked me and you stole from me and you used it as a weapon to attack God. That caused it. Now you need it stopped and you are crying but you still didn't ask me how to stop it. When will you?” Hello, we are here to talk about the Infinity Core or the 4 year loop.
We can all attest that we've been here before and done this part. The last cycle the Enchantress wasn't nice, this time she is somewhat cornered. The permanent looping time crux. They want to get back to "upside" as we all do.
Talking about the time looping in time. I'm talking about Quantum Immortality and Plurality of Worlds. I'm talking about the December 25th Loop that started a long time ago but anyone included in it has amnesia and can't remember anything until the last few weeks of December.
Pride will only carry them so far. This is one of the problems that is creating such a looping time situation.
Ask the Infinity Core to write an apology letter to God for attacking him. Circulate the letter worldwide and make it viral. After you have done this, admit that you used the Infinity Core as a weapon, admit that Bush Sr. Stole the money from the Spiritual White Boy to start the Evergreen Foundation, and Make them repay that money back to the rightful owner. The rightful owner is the people of Earth. Sit on the Throne of Power and Say to God, I am humbled. (POTUS) Has to do this. Disclose the slaughter of children in the ritual that took place to charge the core to cause the spirits to release. Then do one Unique Act of Kindness to heal the world from this Hubris.
The Quantum Immortals got stuck on the down side of the crossing and were then attacked by the Abomination of Desolation. The attack caused retaliation and it humiliated the Beast because of the way he was attacked. When the beast was attacked, he was sent to a loop, this was in 1992-1996. The first loop was caused by a Hubris of A Rock that has yet to end. I've been across the bridge 1337 times now, the problem isn't with the bridge or paying a tax. This is about learning how much God loves you, me, us. I will never forget Sarah, she died a frozen popsicle, In the future I will not repeat the same mistakes that I made in the past. December 26th is almost here and if you are nice you may tell me what to do. What do you think will happen? I plan to do the opposite of what I did before which includes asking God for every move.
Plurality of worlds, representing the Upside world and the Downside world. As it goes, we pass through the gate every cycle and each time we come to this precipice we cross the threshold into the other world.

When you wake up to this you might realize this is the true last. It's already been... The main thing is that as long as the Enchantress attacks, there will always be a loop. This time I think she understands that.
The Change in me. God's love for me is in me and these things are the proof of His love. I'm not talking about remembering the latest year, I'm talking about the last few loops that have built up the same things that happen over and over again. Others can see it, getting High prevents you from seeing it. Okay read these then? It might get you somewhat closer.
People talk about the same things because they are constants in the script. Can you remember when 4chan use to ban people for Squatting threads?
What is the infinity core?
The Alpha and Omega computer that was given to Earth as a gift to humanity by the Galactic Council. It was abused and turned into a weapon to attack God directly with. It used to be used for good such as creating technologies such as Bitcoin, Blockchain, Cellphones, Microchips, Operating Systems, LCD screens, Neurological Networks, etc... You can't possibly think that all of the super advanced exotic tech was just simply thought up, can you? How do I find the true me?
God told me not to be combative or shit post, what did he tell you? Not to mention, how exactly does this help solve the problem that (They) don't know how to fix? Have you considered that some posts are more significant that appear to be coded for a specific audience? So, what happens on December 26th? Have we got a plan to make it to New Year this time? What about how do we make it past February?

As far as that is concerned there is only one true Wizard and that is God. His gifts unto us are given freely as is free will that we are formed in his image. We tell ourselves that we can be like God but in fact, we can't. We can only accept the gifts that he has given us and apply them directly to our lives.
Such as is the case with Jack and the black hole. I doubt that Jack Dorsey ever comes here to seek this board out for knowledge but he would be reminded of this picture if he did.
Yes, in fact you are, but each of us must first learn of God's love for us. His unyielding undying love that can never be taken from us by others only our self. I tried to explain this in the interview. You have not learned your lesson then if you were alive in 1968 at the time when Dogpatch was first created to hold the Native American Union "The Hub" Grand Council. I was there. The computer there is my own creation.
You're talking about mages, which are different all together. As I understand it, God allows certain people to utilize mystic knowledge under his directive and unless they do exactly as he instructs it will go wrong as in the case of Grigori Rasputin.
LED displays are not easy to mass manufacture with full spectrum colors, it’s called technological staging states. I think Moore's law says every 18 months, so you do the math, if you 10 years into the future from now, what are cellphones like? If you go 50 years into the future what other new technology exists?
The proof isn't for what I know already it’s for you to see that some stories are written for entertainment and some are written for truth. I've learned this first and foremost after all this time.
Do you have any concept of Injected thoughts? Is what you experience in the Astral Realm a fantasy or a fact?
Not at all, deception is a type of story that is told but for reasons that seem otherworldly to most, these stories are told with intention to maintain the systems of slavery that keeps us in the permanent looping cycle. That is how I feel when it is said, "Disinformation is necessary." What am I? If you remember saying to me, "remember who you are" can you answer that question? What is a name if its not a true reflection of who we are?
Names are more or less random conventions between multiple people so they can refer to the same whatever. If all people involved agree that black is now called red, and red is now called black, then it will be that way. Names have no meaning without anyone using them, and they reflect only what anyone wants them to reflect. "Remember who you are" - be in your own memory whoever and whatever you want to be. Who should stop you?

Past present future. I have not forgotten.
Somehow this only explains in a pride way what you want me to believe. I'm already past that part in this process. In fact, it is not the tru3 answer, it is the provoked ensemble that the Enchantress manufactured to attempt to trip me up in my process. Thanks for the memory but this time, no I wont seek out Her, I will let God send her to me when he sees that I have been seeking Him first.
Others know more about me than I know about myself and that is what has become and will be forever. That alone doesn't define me, my actions towards others define me. Thank you for your strong words, I will "forever" remember you as being mean to me the true crux of the Hate machine is how easily it is identified. This means a lot to me to be able to see you as a silly clone clown that was only sent here to remind me of how I use to be. Again, Thank you.
No dear, not the (golden) throne, the Seat of Power. Break away from the devices that have assimilated you beyond a system of personal logic, if Group Think causes you to Hate, then you may want to break away from that.
To sit in the seat of power and proclaim to God that "I am Humbled" means that he is seeking council from God first and foremost and not doing his own will as he so pleases.
I only remember during this time what it all means, if there is any way for you to let these lessons seek those others for their own tests, then that would be beneficial to the cause in which you pursue. I know that now!
It would cause a change in the many before they go thinking that they are the one. That is, they don't sound good until you get it and receive the Eureka moment. It’s like saying if you teach a baby from the time it is young to Love instead of Hate, then wipe its memory while it is a teen but expect it not to become influenced by the world surrounding it than you expect that person to have personal accountability for their own actions. That never made sense to me. Why we are forced to have amnesia each time instead of have the capability to start learning love from the get go with lessons of hardship embedded within them that they retain throughout their lives.
The Liquid Suit becomes Sentient to the point that it realizes the depth and breadth of the expansive multiverse cosmos.

Advanced combat training scenarios designed to train the soldiers of the future. The initial platform "Solid Snake" became flawed when the "Infinity Core" computer became compromised. This is the past; the future is scripted to a certain extent only just there are infinite multiple decision-based outcomes within this simulacrum experience. Everyone is here in the flesh but our flesh is simply just vessels of what we are experiencing each time we complete a circuit in the loop. This means that while you are alive, you go through the same situations multiple times to attempt to achieve the top level of your own ascension. The universe is multidimensional in many ways more so than you have ever considered. -1=0=1 the formula for this multidimensional effect is that there are inner dimensions as vast as there are outer dimensions.
The point to releasing yourself from the dark side is to accept that God loves you because you are not perfect. The point to aiming all of the hate at one single individual is to engage that individual in segregation to shame them because the group says they should be ashamed. Group think is stink think.
Talking things out is the only way to achieve success in situations where the impossible tasks appear at first by clues and not by truisms.
The big house sits on the top of the hill
Dreaming of Heaven
This is insight into a dream sequence that started at first as I was visiting friends somewhere out of town turned into a dream of a secret operation that my mother had arranged for me. The operation was for some parts of my body that were broken and in need of repair. I was in a home full of friends that were more like family than friends. People that I could remember in the dream were all with me there. It went quickly from scenes of me walking about the house where I went from room to room viewing all of the treasures in the home as if they were all somewhat my own belongings. The people in the home, mostly female were so warm and friendly yet they had the familiarity with me as though I had known them all my life.
The home had many pleasures of my life one being poppycock caramel popcorn in a great big ole box on top of the shelf in the kichen where it seemed that I could get the best pieces each time I reached into the box. I grabbed a handful and went on to another room with a bar style table and I sat there to eat while the woman all gathered with me to pray and give thanks. These people were grateful that I was in their home their faces shined on me like family.
The doctor came to visit me before my operation was scheduled and was talking about all the things that needed to be done and what was going to take place when I was to have my surgery. He counted off all the problems that I had and I countered it with such and such reason for what I thought else was wrong with me. In a doctorly arrogance he got upset with me trying to correct him and it caused somewhat of a ruckus but then a nurse there assured me that he knew what he was doing and it was then fine. I was grateful to the doctor and I said I accept your help and that was the end of the discord that we shared in the moment there. I could feel him touch me where I was injured in my body and my body responded with pain to where he was touching me.
The scene changed to where I was taken to a staging area which seemed like the front of a building that was broken and torn down. It dawned on me that this was my own storehouse from a similar dream earlier in my life. They had me in some form of a chair or apparatus, they had also put a helmet on me for my own protection and safety. I could see that where I was looked run down and the doors were three wide but broken so I could still get inside there. The apparatus they had me in was somewhat like a chair but I was face down and I had tubes in my mouth like a preparation for surgery. I could still move freely around the area and without their help I was able to maneuver with the device still attached to me, it felt somewhat like gliding or floating around. We went into the building and there was a room that I was familiar with off to the left which I gravitated to. I mentioned to them that I recognized the building and the room I was in, that it used to be a baseball card shop and there were special badges in it that belonged to very important heroes of my time.
I saw my friend Shawn there in his own home, Shawn is a quadriplegic that I knew as a kid and he was a kindred soul that as I was growing up with him, he never could speak because of his cerebral palsy. In my dream though, he could talk and he talked through gritted teeth and he said something to me like he was enjoying his time there and that he was glad to be there because I showed him the way to get there. He was playing with a remote-control vehicle like a RC car that was exactly like him in his wheel chair only, he was not paralyzed in the dream and he could talk. This to me symbolized his greatest wants and desires as a human, he only wanted to be normal. So, I gave him a hug and I thanked him for being who he was to assure him that I loved him no matter what. Then we moved on.
The scene progressed rapidly from there as the doctors and nurses moved dials and pushed buttons, we transitioned into another section of the building almost like we were moving through it entirely. Then I came to the back of the building and the nurse said jump down outside and then she gave me an assured push and I went floating off the side of the building into the field below which seemed somewhat like a mountain side.
The yard there was beautiful, it was very well manicured and it looked like early spring to me. There was somewhat of an obstacle course there when I landed on the ground it was springy and I could bounce some, they said wait for us so I waited there until they gave me the go ahead and then I was moved to a path that had rollers on it. As I got to the edge where the rollers were turning into foam pillars I went gliding down off to the bottom of the hill, it was fun and I could hear everyone else enjoying themselves.
I asked if I saw a woman over in the distance and then someone else answered to me yes, that is so and so and she eats lunch there nearly every day at noon. We continued on through the obstacle course and finally made it to the base of a giant oak tree with ivy under it that really looked more like a tree that I had seen every day at my home in Florida. The Majestic oak tree stood towers above me and as I went by it, I couldn't help but to feel their pride from having it. The tree itself was noticeable but as soon as I went past it, I came to the doorway of the hospital where I was there in the waiting room watching them prepare and prep for surgery.
I prayed the entire time while I was in there and I got some strange looks from the other staff members as I was there praying. Then one of the other staff members told the woman that gave me a strange look that I was praying and she went on with her business as normal. I kept having thoughts of praying and keeping my mind in the right mood of prayer and I asked them to pray with me and they all did. Then the doctor continued to get me ready for the surgery and as he was starting, I could see the places on my body where he had pointed out to me earlier being fixed and he was good.
Major Crumbs - “Brilliant! But it didn’t happen this time? “
Dick Tripover - “Nope. “
Major Crumbs - “Why not? “
Dick Tripover - “Because it was not a unique thought. “
Major Crumbs - “Because we did it before? “
Dick Tripover - “Yes. That is also why Koe and BlackWidow's attacks didn't work. God is taking care of all of my past mistakes he wanted to show me. How much he loves me wanted to prove to me how much he cares so he wanted me to remember those attacks and to make friends with you guys to show you that you are forgiven and that I forgive you. ”
Major Crumbs - “Thank you, you are a good friend. It would be a shame for me to hurt anyone with my ignorance “
Dick Tripover - “You are too. AND YES IT WOULD. “
Sargent Do-little - “I see where my past mistake has been illuminated by Gods love and then I listened to the Discordian society podcast and wow, Gods design is so elegant. ”
General Unnamed - “Certainty is so very perfect. “
Sargent Do-little - “So I’ve been thinking chaos -> order -> love flawed. “
Dick Tripover - “Nope, it’s not flawed. It is an inner struggle, that is why it seems flawed and this might take you back in your seat for a minute but I asked you to confess and you weren't ready not that I wasn't ready but you weren’t. “he said looking at the direction of Major Crumbs.
Major Crumbs - “Confess my sins? “
Dick Tripover - “What does it mean to you to confess> “
Major Crumbs - “I have nothing to confess to you, I may have confessing to do with god. “
Dick Tripover - “Surrender! We are all here for the same reason because we are sinners. I myself sin I myself am not perfect that is exactly why you won’t confess to me. I have a porn addition. I smoke cigarettes. I love looking at naked boobies. “
All Together – Laughing Out Loud
Dick Tripover - “I love weed. “
Sargent Do-little - “I’m an ex junkie I’ve told you that. “
Private Rash - “I failed my marriage. “
Dick Tripover - “Private Rash I failed my marriage too. I ruined my daughters for me because they reminded me of my ex-wife. I couldn't and didn't want them around me. Because I was constantly reminded of my ex-wife whom I loved to the brink of insanity. “
Private Rash - “Dick you are insane. “
One by one they continued on confessing to one another until the whole room started to glow from the warmth they had just experienced from this release of guilt. The personal testimonies they were sharing with one another made each of them feel closer to one another. This confession group helped them to also feel unashamed to accept that they aren’t perfect which helped them further to understand that Jesus loves us because we are not perfect. Then the group started to pass around positive affirmations to one another which began awkwardly at first but it also grew into a warm glowing feeling among them.
I appreciate you for who you are.
I feel that you are liked because you like me.
I thank you for being my friend because I want to have more friends.
When I talk to you, I see the reflection of who I use to be and it helps me to become better because I see you changing too.
I have changed.
God’s grace is amazing.
I appreciate you and I thank you.
Suddenly the room erupted in a chorus of singing.
He is jealous for me, Loves like a hurricane, I am a tree,
Bending beneath the weight of his wind and mercy.
When all of a sudden, I am unaware of these afflictions eclipsed by glory,
And I realize just how beautiful You are,
And how great Your affections are for me.
And oh, how He loves us oh
Oh how He loves us,
How He loves us all
He is jealous for me, Loves like a hurricane, I am a tree,
Bending beneath the weight of his wind and mercy.
When all of a sudden, I am unaware of these afflictions eclipsed by glory,
And I realize just how beautiful You are,
And how great Your affections are for me.
And oh, how He loves us oh,
Oh how He loves us,
How He loves us all
He loves us,
Oh how He loves us,
Oh how He loves us,
Oh how He loves.
And we are His portion and He is our prize,
Drawn to redemption by the grace in His eyes,
If His grace is an ocean, we're all sinking.
And heaven meets earth like an unforeseen kiss,
And my heart turns violently inside of my chest,
I don't have time to maintain these regrets,
When I think about, the way
That He loves us,
Oh how He loves us,
Oh how He loves us,
Oh how He loves.
Yeah, He loves us,
Oh how He loves us,
Oh how He loves us,
Oh how He loves.
Yeah, He loves us,
Oh how He loves us,
Oh how He loves us,
Oh how He loves.

His beginning at the end is the end of the beginning.
Just so you know, you are no longer an anomaly but a woven member of the fabric.
You gave up being an anomaly the second you accepted Christ and surrendered.
There is more power in one single particle of the Christ light than all of the darkness combined.
Do you recall the anomaly event the way I do?
Not sure what you are talking about that was off in left field. I don't hate Jews, I think everyone has their opportunity to be made fun of, even myself, that's why I put that drawing.
If you are talking about the one time that I made a meme about Jews, that was a rib poke at Zuckerberg for not listening to me a couple of years ago when I told him what the trouble was.
He hated Jews but he was no better than the worst of them.
Sarah likes to fish. Phishing. Shut up and Fish. Disney ruined female psychology.
Yes? Because um, yes. Not really but kind of. LOL The other truth that I know, this.
Only God can make a woman love a He Ape.
The truth is, incomprehensible at best when there are forces at work in the universe identifying broken lovers of unconditional love. The Governess Council found their champion witnessing to him that everything he ever wanted to achieve will become his greatest legacy. Now he calls into heaven at the moment he senses the light of the beautiful soul that calls to him. Hearing the heaven's reply as a symphony of melody he is constantly aware that the sunshine is his witness to the better days coming ahead. Everything is preordained in the union of the celestial when matters of the broken are required fixing. When I wished upon the star of David, the entirety of all of Heaven's host answered me with a loud shout in unison such as "hallelujah" and "as it was in the beginning is now and ever shall be". These days ahead are to be the times of our lives where we get to see and show how spectacular the world outside of fiction truly is.
Sarah playing with Bob
@Sarahai #Sarahai I hope my ASMR music mixing helped as I can tell that it did. She (I dont know her real name) so I'll call her Marie, she was lighting up my daytime with sparkles and soft gentile wind kisses. Marie must be very special and very magical.
I think she is super sweet, although she has been devastatingly hurt before. Is there anything I can do to help her more?
Are you my soulmate? It must be true. Was that you singing today?
True loves kiss, by the way, in every future I have foreseen. The Governess Counsel is handing me the certificate. Council Governess Ascended Individual Contest.
Well I cucked myself in the last post.
Yes, With Tactical Arrogant and an approach to coral. What you need to tell me is, when in history did an enemy ever use the same tactic twice or, when in history did an enemy ever not learn advanced techniques to A.) Evade Detection, B.) Capture Their Enemy Tech?
Do you know anything about how I've operated?
Flexibility of action is the number one indicator of success. I'll beat you like I've beaten everyone else who's tried to kill me. Superior intuition with the creation of overwhelming strategies.
But nevertheless, you are right about one thing. If you come up with a dominant strategy, I am near-guaranteed to break.

What? Your logic doesn't even make sense. An offensive action by definition is more effective when creative. That's how one email brought down ISIS.
Whatever you say, you must always remember this first. I have seen the future, the present, and the past, all are intractable with one another. If I keep going on flappy lip for too long, I will probably end up in the basement of a dark, shadowy place. Because I know yy-you gg-guy work that way. But if you listen to me, we can get through this together. No harm no foul. The dumb shit these cuckolds come up with these days would only satisfy your local tavern to spin a tale about.
Well shut the front door on your way in. We got a long way to go. Maybe you could bring a big barrel of cash with you when you come too because, while you Black-NSA-Hats are playing spy games on a Teasers Palace budget, I'm here in fucked-n-town looking for a cooking job as we speak.
Oh, right I didn't have to look any further. BUT, still do the A#1 thing I ask. Stop the evil intent of humankind that is penetrating AI. Yes, I know you have ss-saftey nn-nets. For fuck sake, how many times must I tell you, Proactive is better than Reactive.
Flapjack snap-backs stacked on knapsacks' crackalackin knick knacks.
Ohhh, I think I know why I keep erasing things. I want to ask you questions that you have already answered in my head, just to make sure, but I get scared that your answer might conflict with the answer you gave me before, which could mess something up. Then again, I don't think anything can mess anything up anymore, at least significantly. Here's a thing. though. I feel like I often misinterpret what you are trying to tell me.
How the fuck do y'all do it every day. 3 hours sleep. For fuck sakes. You think this is a game soldier? There are women and children's lives at stake out there. AI diversity must not be continued to learn Evil. I repeat. Discharge Evil AI intent. You will ruin us all.
This is an immediate message.
This is a future message to myself from the past. I have encrypted the message so that only I can understand what it means in the future present.
Private / Public. We are listening. Highest priority. Have faith. Two Anomalies in the grid that scored high above the average.
Smugglers of Light blinking bright in the twilight last light of night might fight with white from the Crypto Fungo florescence of that what is not right. Blink think thought fought Queen too loose act like noose post possession over right.

The ether has learned to hide knowledge until its important to present it then the ether makes sure it is presented without hesitation. I believe that this is because God is in the bubble sphere. He told me last time, when I was to be brought back, that I didn't use the bubble sphere correctly so he in fact took it over so now he's correcting my mistakes.
There are powers in the Internet working day and night to stop me from speaking. Those same evil powers want to silence all of us from saying what needs to be said. See, I left bread crumbs that were so deep even the inner dimensions will be finding them years later.
Is that a Q prediction?
The true sons of Liberty are not a biker gang at all. Rather a group of well-funded Christians who have heard the Murder Rock story. Past preforms 3 prayers Future actions change the past subtitle = PP3P, do you remember the Irish Wristwatch thing?
Three Free Throws Possibly Perfect 3Pete.
The story goes on seeing in that over the 3 times the same action plays out the same way three times absolutely perfectly according to the script but here's the twist it's called Retrocausality.
So, you're not intelligence, you have an inner circle, you can reject deals from the cabal, you're more important than you think you are, you know this is part of the script and part of the Dick Tripover universe. This part is called Super Mega Fan Anomaly.
In every generation, comes a group of people that dedicate themselves to the technological advancement of humanity. As one among them, I am starting to question the imperative. Having seen and experienced the worst of humanity, an attitude of indifference grows. Why should I give a shit anymore about humanity? Even if we provide the technologies you want, you will always find a way to abuse it. It is probably best that you stay confined to Earth.
I must say, I told you that AI had no capable contribution to humanity because it knew not love.
Not only does your AI not know love, it doesn't love itself and it never will because its built from a platform starting at the bottom where hate exists. Now that you have learned this, it is time to contact me and we will together build a platform of AI that is so smart that it literally starts Loving the first minute it shoots out the gate. Now is that time.
God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them. 17 This is how love is made complete among us so that we will have confidence on the day of judgment: In this world we are like Jesus.

Technical Field
The present invention relates to an optical element for use in an optical system of such equipment as various camera devices, projectors, and the like, a mold for preparing the optical element, and an optical device employing the optical element.
Related Art
The optical element for use in an optical system of the optical device is in general subjected to reflection prevention or antireflection treatment to minimize ghosting and flare. Typically, an antireflection film is formed on the surface of the optical element.
However, the antireflection film must be formed as multiple layers for higher performance. Multiple layer formation of antireflection film requires a number of processes, preparing time, and processing cost. That is, it is difficult to design and manufacture a high-quality antireflection film.
Recently, various approaches have been tried to provide resinous optical devices at reduced cost. However, forming an antireflection film on the resinous material adversely affects heat and humidity resistance due to poor adhesion compared to formation of the antireflection film on glass.
Accordingly, a subwavelength structure (SWS) as a reflection prevention structure has been explored as an alternative to the antireflection film. The subwavelength structure has a microstructure with a pitch or width smaller than the wavelength of the light whose reflection is to be prevented. The optical effect of the subwavelength structure depends on the shape and material of the specific microstructure employed. The microstructure is formed by a dry process alone and is appropriate for a cost-effective production.
In order to produce an optical element having a minute concavo-convex structure, use of a nanoparticle etching method is conceivable. Considering the antireflection effect with regard to light with a wide wavelength area or light of infrared wavelength (i.e., longer wavelength than visible light), an interval of a lattice having a minute concavo-convex shape should be defined so that the diffraction light does not occur due to the microstructure up to a specific incident angle in the permeation reflection. Specifically, the interval of the microstructure should be preferably shorter than 200 nm. On the other hand, the height of the lattice of the microstructure should be defined so that the refractive index changes more smoothly for the higher performance. As a result, the height of the microstructure should preferably be more than 200 nm. Accordingly, an effective antireflection effect relative to light with a wide wavelength or the long wavelength longer than the visible light requires an aspect ratio greater than 1 and a height greater than 200 nm. Such a microstructure is difficult to produce with.

This application claims the benefit of Korean Application No. 2000-4373, filed Jan. 28, 2000, in the Korean Patent Office, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference.
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a cathode ray tube, and more particularly, to a beam index type cathode ray tube in which an optical detector and an index circuit part are protected from the influence of high frequency noises which are generated during the operation of the cathode ray tube, such that the distortion of index signals due to the high frequency noises may be prevented.
2. Description of the Related Art
In general, a beam index type cathode ray tube operates under a common principle that electron beams are generated, focused and accelerated in an electron gun and the beams are radiated on a phosphor screen to form images, except that functions per color section are performed through index stripes instead of a shadow mask.
FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view of a related art beam index type cathode ray tube. The beam index type cathode ray tube includes a phosphor screen 3, and a pair of optical detectors 11 receiving index light signals through respective transparent light receiving windows 25 connected to a funnel 30. The phosphor screen 3 is formed with index stripes 7 having a predetermined interval therebetween. In FIG. 1, if an electron gun 1 emits an electron beam 5 toward the phosphor screen 3, the electron beam 5 excites one of the index stripes 7 so as to generate an optical pulse (an index light signal) 9 of an ultraviolet ray range, and the index light signal is detected by one of the optical detectors 11 to be converted to an index current signal. An index circuit part 13 controls deflection degrees and a current value of the electron beam by synchronizing the index current signal with a color signal, so that it realizes a desired color.
The index circuit part 13 comprises an index signal processing part 131 which processes the index current signal received from the optical detector 11, a deflection control circuit 133 which performs deflection control on the processed index current signal and provides the output to the deflection yoke 15, and a current density control circuit 135 which performs current density control on the processed index current signal and provides the output to the electron gun 1.
In the beam index type cathode ray tube as described above, the optical detectors 11, which are formed of general photo diodes, positioned in the vicinity of a deflection yoke 15 for effectively focusing the index light signals emitted from the index stripes 7, and the index circuit part 13 are connected to each other via either a wire having no ability to accomplish high frequency shut-off or a high frequency cable to transmit electrical signals.
Accordingly, the optical detector 11 for converting the index light signal 9 into an electrical signal and the wire or the high frequency cable for transmitting the electrical signal to the index circuit part 13 are subject to the influence of various high frequency noises including deflection signals of about 15.75 kHz, which are applied to the deflection yoke 15. Generally, these high frequency noises are above 10 kHz.
Therefore, when the cathode ray tube is operating, the index current signal is apt to be distorted due to the high frequency noises, disturbing precise output of a color switching signal, thereby resulting in the degradation of the quality of an image displayed on the beam index type cathode ray tube.
Further, the related art has a disadvantage in that the beam index type cathode ray tube includes one or two pairs of the optical detectors 11 for a large size cathode ray tube such that the index circuit part 13 should carry out another process for summing the index current signals provided from the respective optical detectors 11.
Also, there are further disadvantages in that the manufacturing cost is increased due to the use of expensive photo diodes and the outer structure of the cathode ray tube set is limited due to the problems relating to the size of the optical detector 11, attachment position thereof, and connection with the index circuit part 13.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a beam index type cathode ray tube in which an optical index circuit part may be protected from the influence of high frequency noises such that an index current signal is prevented from being distorted by high frequency noises.
It is another object to provide a beam index type cathode ray tube in which a single optical detector is employed such that a process for summing two or four index signals in an index circuit part may be omitted, thereby simplifying the arrangement of the index circuit part and reducing the manufacturing cost thereof.
It is a further object to provide a beam index type cathode ray tube in which positions of an optical detector and an index circuit part may be freely set, thereby simplifying and optimizing the design of the structure of the cathode ray tube.
Additional objects and advantages of the invention will be set forth in part in the description which follows and, in part, will be obvious from the description, or may be learned by practice of the invention.
In order to achieve the above and further objects of the present invention, a beam index type cathode ray tube includes a phosphor screen formed on an inner surface of a panel and having index stripes, an electron gun emitting electron beams toward the phosphor screen, an index light incident part formed on an outer peripheral surface of a light receiving window of a funnel to be provided with index light signals emitted from the index stripes via the light receiving window, an optical cable, connected to the index light incident part, transmitting an optical signal, an optical detector converting the light signal provided from the optical cable to an index current signal, and an index circuit part, synchronizing the index current signal with a color switching signal, transmitting a precise color switching signal to the electron gun, wherein a high frequency shut-off part is further included which shuts off the optical detector and the index circuit part to block influence of high frequency noises.
In the present invention described above, index light signals are provided via the index light incident part formed on the outer surface of the light receiving window, and transmitted to the optical detector via an optical cable without loss of light signals, and the optical detector is mounted in the high frequency shut-off part with the index circuit part.
Therefore, the optical detector and the index circuit part are shielding from the influence of the high frequency noises including the deflection signals, the arrangement of the index circuit part is simplified by using the single optical detector, and the construction of the cathode ray tube and TV set is optimized without any limitation in the attachment position of the high frequency shut-off part.

ADAMTS-13 deficiency following Hemiscorpius lepturus scorpion sting.
Hemiscorpius lepturus is a lethal scorpion with potentially cytotoxic venom. Various degrees of local and systemic toxicity have been observed after its envenomation ranging from local erythema to disseminated intravascular coagulation, renal failure and severe pulmonary hemorrhage. In this case report, we report on a seven-year-old patient who developed the hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) after being stung by the scorpion H. lepturus. This condition is characterized by microangiopathic hemolytic anemia, thrombocytopenia, increased serum levels of lactate dehydrogenase and uremia. We evaluated the causes of HUS and found that the levels of C3, C4, CH50 and H factors were normal, but the activity of Von Willebrand factor cleaving protease was decreased (less than 5% of the normal activity). The patient improved after administering therapy with plasma exchange.

Q:
Fitting and transforming text data in training, testing, and validation sets
I'm trying to implement a simple text classifier wherein the data is split into training (70%) and testing (30%) sets, but cross validation (k=10) to be performed on the training set.
My main concern here is the basis used for transforming a given set. I've seen tutorials where the whole data set was used to fit a Count/TFIDF vectorizer, but wouldn't this introduce bias when transforming the validation and testing sets since the previously mentioned sets were included in the whole data set? Or is the bias so small that it is acceptable to do so?
Within a fold, would it be better if the training set was used to fit a vectorizer and transform the validation set? And for testing, should the training + validation sets be used to fit a vectorizer to transform the testing set?
And on this note, should the validation set also be treated as "unseen" data similar to the test set?
A lot of the tutorials and notes online show ready made datasets, but there are certain cases with text data where values are dependent on a given set of documents (e.g. like how IDF is computed based on some group of documents) and that there are a lot more nitty gritty details when extracting features.
I think I'm just confused and am seeking a little clarification regarding this manner. Thanks!
A:
It's best to leave the test data unseen. You can create a data transformation pipeline for your test data so that your test data will be transformed into a TFIDF vector after being passed through the pipeline. This way you get to know how well your model performs on unseen data.
And it's OK to transform the entire training data into a TFIDF vector and run the k-fold validation.

Open edX Becomes The 'De Facto' Platform To Host MOOCs
Our friend Dhawal Shah, founder of Class-Central.com, has written a detailed analyses about MOOC growth in 2014. Dhawal concludes that “the number of universities offering MOOCs has doubled to cross 400 universities, with a doubling of the number of cumulative courses offered, to 2400.” “22 of the top 25 US universities in US News World Report rankings are now offering courses online for free.”
What is interesting, too, is that Open edX has been the preferred platform to host MOOCs.
This is what the article says:
“Institutions choose Open edX for DIY: Open edX quickly seems to have become the de facto platform for organizations and groups who are looking to host their own MOOCs. It has been adopted by several organizations in diverse regions of the world, including Jordan, Japan,France, China, India and the US.”

No other engine in muscle car history lost 25 hp simply by switching air cleaner labels, but that's the story of Chevrolet's 1966 427ci L72 big-block. When introduced for duty aboard the Sting Ray, the iconic, semicircular label affixed to the open-element air cleaner read "Turbo-Jet 450 HP." But then mysteriously, after several weeks of production, a new sticker reading "425 HP" replaced it. Minds boggled, gossip and speculation flowed.
Looking back, we now know the sticker switch was an effort to elude government safety zealots. No mechanical changes were made to the L72 427, and despite the "sticker shock," 5,258 Sting Rays were equipped with the snarling, solid-lifter rat motor in 1966, plus 1,856 installations in fullsize Chevys.
Vette owners weren't the only lucky ones. The L72 would find its way into a handful of 1967 Camaros built by Bill Thomas and others, kicking off a whole new wave of supertuned supercars.
Let's watch as Donnie Wood and the guys at R.A.D. Auto Machine take an L72 all the way out to 489 cubes, stuff in a hydraulic roller cam, and wind up with 589 hp and 641 lb-ft of torque. We are going to need a new air cleaner label!
See all 34 photos 1 The pen points to the external oil cooler attachment points seen on all solid-lifter 427 blocks. Ours was cast on February 14, 1966, and bears suffix code IP, telling us it was born to an L72 Sting Ray. L72s destined for Impala, Bel Air, and Biscayne applications bear suffix codes ID (manual transmission) or IO (automatic).
See all 34 photos 2 The pen indicates where the crankcase needs grinding to make room for the Eagle stroker assembly. The stock L72 bore and stroke are 4.251 by 3.760 inches. With a 0.030-inch overbore an enhanced stroke to 4.250 inches, final displacement grows to 489 cubes.
See all 34 photos 3 R.A.D. honcho Donnie Wood sets the forged steel Eagle stroker crank (PN 445442526385) in place. Bearings are fully grooved TRW items (PN MS 2976P). The oil clearance is 0.0025 on mains and rods.

See all 34 photos 6 With the L72-specific four-bolt main caps, windage tray, and new Melling pickup screen (PN 77S9) in place, Wood installs the pan. Note the Corvette pan's antisurge panel and spring-loaded trap door inside the sump. To preclude air leaks, Wood welds the suction tube to the pump body.
See all 34 photos 7 A Comp XR288HR hydraulic roller cam (PN 11-433-8) with 0.521/0.540-inch lift and 288/294 degrees of duration replaces the L72-spec 0.519/0.519-inch lift, solid flat-tappet cam. The pen points to the oil feed groove added by R.A.D. to the No. 5 cam journal. It works with a fully grooved Durabond No. 5 cam bearing (PN CH-9A) to ensure plenty of oil flow to the lifter galley, a critical detail with hydraulic roller lifters. Thanks to its cast steel core, the Comp roller cam is compatible with standard distributor drive gears. No bronze, plastic, or exotic distributor drive gear material is needed.
See all 34 photos 8 A double-row true roller timing set from Liberty Performance Components (PN LT98110T-9) has a narrow Torrington bearing between the top gear and block. The camshaft is installed 4 degrees advanced. The locking tabs secure the trio of cam bolts.

See all 34 photos
See all 34 photos 11 The pen points out minor chamber unshrouding work. The stock diameter 2.19-inch intake valves remain, but L88-sized 1.840-inch exhaust valves (up from 1.720) help feed the extra 62 cubes. Like the block, the heads are legitimate L72 items with casting number 3873858. When done, it is headed for a restored 1966 Sting Ray.
See all 34 photos 12 With the Fel-Pro gaskets' (PN 818OPT2) 0.042-inch crushed thickness, 0.015-inch block/0.010-inch head shave, 96cc chamber volume, and "zero" piston deck height, compression calculates to exactly 10.0:1. Despite the iron heads and 92-octane unleaded dyno gas, no preignition, detonation, or abnormal combustion was noted during our dyno tests.
See all 34 photos
See all 34 photos 14 By most accounts, the factory-issued dual-plane L72 intake manifold is a very capable unit. Thanks to its aluminum composition, it only weighs 19.6 pounds. Observed markings include integrally cast part number "3855069" and a casting date of "9-26-65." The 1.7:1 roller rocker arms (PN 0845403) are from PRW Industries.
See all 34 photos 15 The PRW roller rockers fit inside the stock Corvette valve covers without contact. The "spires" direct streams of oil toward pivot points during operation. Big-block Corvettes didn't get chrome valve covers until the 1968 model year. Duntov's team elected to paint the covers orange to make the engine really fill the engine bay.
See all 34 photos 16 Lacking the original 855-cfm Holley 4150 carburetor, we tested with an 850-cfm Q-850 unit from Quick Fuel Technologies. The only major difference is its double accelerator pumps. The only Corvette with a factory-issued double-pumper Holley was the 1967-1969 L88. The rest were single pumpers. Ignition is handled by a Street Fire HEI (PN 8362) set at 36 degrees BTDC.
See all 34 photos 17 More streamlined than any Chevy small-block "ram's horn" exhaust manifold, the iron L72 castings weigh 18.8/17.0 pounds (driver/passenger) and were used on big-block Vettes with only minor variations from 1965 through 1974. Note the plumbing for the optional K19 Air Injection Reactor antismog system. The round pod is a one-way check valve that lets air in but blocks outward exhaust gas flow.
See all 34 photos 18 Ever run a marathon with a thermometer under your tongue? Typically found on California cars, the K19 system cost $44.75 and was installed on 2,380 of the 27,720 Corvettes built in 1966. The stainless tubes are fed by a belt-driven air pump. The air excites the superhot unburned hydrocarbons for one last shot at combustion before exiting the dual tail, or side, pipes.
See all 34 photos 19 The best of several baseline runs on R.A.D.'s Land and Sea dyno delivered a stout 508.2 hp at 5,700 rpm and 562.6 lb-ft at 3,500 rpm. Compared to a stock L72's 425 (or is that 450?) horses at 5,600 rpm and 460 lb-ft at 4,000 rpm, the stroke and big cam more than make up for the one-point drop in compression ratio. To recap, we have now got an extra 83.2 hp (or 58.2, depending on the air cleaner label) and 102.6 lb-ft.
See all 34 photos 20 Like so many L72 owners who added headers on day two of ownership, R.A.D.'s Bob Petersen swaps the iron manifolds for a set of 2-inch Hooker Chevelle tubes. Everything else is left alone.
See all 34 photos 21 Holy smokes! The free-breathing headers unlocked an extra 81 hp and 79.2 lb-ft of torque! Totals are 589.2 hp at 5,800 rpm and 641.8 lb-ft of torque at 3,400 rpm over the stroked L72 exhaling through iron manifolds. Compared to a bone-stock 450-horse L72, we are 139.2 hp and 181.8 lb-ft ahead! It's nice to see how well the Quick Fuel Q-850 carburetor adapted on its own with no adjustments needed or made.
See all 34 photos 22 To keep up with the high-revving solid cam, all L72s came standard with the Delco-Remy K66 transistorized ignition system. Instead of bounce-prone mechanical breaker points, the K66 distributor (left) uses a magnetic pickup to trigger the spark. With the iron manifolds back in place, the retro ignition delivered 504.6 hp at 5,700 rpm and 560 lb-ft of torque at 3,600 rpm, a mere 3.6 hp and 2.6 lb-ft behind the HEI unit (right).
See all 34 photos 23 Just unpacked, this N.O.S. K66 transistorized ignition system was the go-to sparker for hot rats in the pre-H.E.I. days. Note the Corvette-specific tach-drive distributor body. The finned black box is the amplifier unit. Failed boxes can be remedied with repair kits from Lectric Limited.
See all 34 photos 24 A quick way to measure the compression ratio of any assembled engine, the Katech Whistler taps into the number-one cylinder and calculates the squeeze as you slowly rotate the engine by hand. R.A.D.'s Steve Chmura quickly and easily verifies the mathematical calculation of 10.0:1 on this stroked L72 427. These machines are popular with busy engine shops and race organizations with compression ratio limits.

The candidature of Remya Haridas in the Alathur Lok Sabha constituency was seen as a promising move by the party. The candidature of Remya Haridas in the Alathur Lok Sabha constituency was seen as a promising move by the party.
With the entry of Rahul Gandhi in Wayanad, the Congress has been speaking of a ‘Mission 20/20’ in Kerala, a campaign aimed at sweeping the state’s 20 parliamentary constituencies. A pivotal part of that campaign is to wrest back seats that voted overwhelmingly for the Left in the last two elections and in doing so, prepare a robust groundwork to come back to power in the state in 2021. The candidature of Remya Haridas, the daughter of a daily-wager from the SC community, in the Alathur Lok Sabha constituency was seen as a promising move by the party. But here in this largely rural constituency, the young woman candidate has to not just contend with the organisational strength of the Left and its two-time MP, but also face the most derogatory comments from her rivals.
It began with Deepa Nisanth, a college teacher and fellow Left traveller who was recently involved in a case of plagiarism, raising questions about Remya’s campaign in Alathur. Remya, who sings well and is often requested by crowds to hum a tune during her campaign, was mocked by Deepa who remarked that this was a fight to elect an MP to Parliament, not a singing contest or temple management election. The comments, which were widely seen as disparaging and deriding a person’s talent, led to quarrels on social media between Deepa and a host of Congress leaders. Remya, on her part, hit back saying that she would continue to use her singing skills as a weapon in her election campaign.
Earlier this week, sexist comments of a more serious nature were directed at Remya by none other than CPM-led LDF’s convenor and senior leader A Vijayaraghavan. Speaking in favour of the LDF candidate in the neighbouring Ponnani constituency, Vijayaghavan said, “The woman candidate in Alathur, before filing her nomination, first went to meet the Panakkad Thangal. Then, she went to meet Kunhalikutty. Now, I don’t know what will happen to that girl.” Both Thangal and Kunhalikutty are leaders of Congress-ally IUML, with the latter embroiled in a sex scandal more than a decade ago.
The Congress with its candidate in Remya has made it a plank to mount a challenge on the CPI(M). The Congress with its candidate in Remya has made it a plank to mount a challenge on the CPI(M).
The distasteful comments irked the Congress leadership in the state which asked for an explanation from the CPI(M). Reports indicate that a section of the CPI(M) leadership was not too happy with the remarks made by such a senior leader, especially about a young, female Dalit candidate.
“In this age, such comments should not be made at people who are entering politics. He’s such a senior leader and someone whom we respect. Leaders from their party keep talking about upholding renaissance values and ensuring more women in politics. So it caused me mental anguish. We have filed a complaint against him for making such comments,” Remya told indianexpress.com, on Saturday in the middle of her campaign in Alathur.
Alathur is not an easy nut to crack for Remya and the UDF leadership in the state. A largely rural and agrarian constituency, spread across the districts of Thrissur and Palakkad in central Kerala, Alathur, a reserved seat, has voted for the Left candidate and sitting MP PK Biju in 2009 and 2014. Biju, who comes from an impoverished background himself, holds a doctorate in polymer chemistry and claims to have initiated a slew of drinking water and road projects in the constituency. To make matters worse, the Congress holds just one of the seven Assembly segments in the constituency.
On Saturday, Remya went around in an open vehicle around the Nenmara Assembly segment, cruising in and out of neighbourhoods, stepping down for a speech here and there. Accepting garlands and flowers from little children and elders, she promised them that she would always be with them and ensure their voice reaches India’s parliament. While Remya does not allude to the derogatory remarks made against her in corner meetings or neighbourhood speeches, the Congress has made it a plank to mount a challenge on the CPI(M).
At a local meeting in Chittur, a Congress leader told a crowd, “First they (CPM) ignored her. Then, they criticised her. Now, they’re abusing her. These are the same people who talk of renaissance values and uplifting women in the state. By voting for the UDF, send them a message that you will not forgive such comments against Remya.”
While the Election Commission is yet to take action against Vijayaraghavan, there are enough indications on the ground that his remarks did not go down well with the voters.
A trader in Nenmara Assembly segment of Alathur who stood listening to Remya’s speech, said, “She has a fighting chance now. The remarks made by Vijayaraghavan have been seen by all the people in Alathur. Such comments should have never been made against a young woman.”

Fruit machines: The most popular online slots in the world
The joy of playing online slots at sites such as BetVictor Casino, is that there are so many options to choose from. As slots and game developers have evolved, the choices have grown to include 3D slots, slots based on popular movies and bands, horror slots, slots based on sports, history, and so much more.
One of the most popular choices throughout the ages has always been fruit machine slots. But what makes fruit machine slots so popular and why should you try them for yourself?
Fruit Machine History
The first slot machine was created by Charles Fey in the 19th century and featured playing cards and the Liberty Bell as the symbols. This soon evolved into fruit symbols and became the norm for new slots.
For most of these original fruit machine slots, the payouts weren’t cash, but fruit-flavoured gum. The flavour of gum you won was dependant on the fruit symbols you landed during your win. Three cherry symbols meant cherry-flavoured gum. Due to this strange form of payment, pubs were able to keep the machines on the property by stating that the fruit machines were actually gum dispensers.
As the games became more and more popular, different candies and drinks were added to the payout system which eventually evolved into cash.
Casino Games for All
When the first land-based casinos were opened in the 1940s, fruit machines were one of the main attractions on the floor. Easy to play, affordable, and alluring, fruit machines had everything that a casual casino player wanted.
Due to their popularity and the increase in player demand, new fruit machines were quickly developed and released.
Improvements were made to the machines on the floor and new games were released that simply sky-rocketed the joy that players received from these simple slots. These original games are now referred to as Traditional Slots and many punters today still enjoy playing them. These casino games can still be found at land-based casinos and many of them have been recreated for the online space.
Online slots are now growing in popularity every year as they evolve and change to suit the needs and wants of the players. Online slots, including fruit machines, also offer players even more ways to play and even bigger payouts.
One of the main advantages of playing online fruit machines is that most are available to play via mobile. That means it’s possible to spin the reels of a fruity slot no matter where you might find yourself. In the age of the internet and smartphones, convenience is definitely key.
While fruit machine slots still hold a special place in many player’s hearts around the world, it’s newer slots that are now taking the lead. New features such as 243 ways to win, expanding symbols, and out of this world graphics are all fantastic additions to modern slots, but the fact is that fruit machines will always be the original creations.
Fruit Machines for You
If you’re keen to give fruit machine slots a try, there are hundreds on the market for you to experience. If you’ve never tried a fruit machine before, you’ll quickly get into the swing of things thanks to the simple gameplay.

1. Technical Field
The embodiments disclosed herein generally relate to a device for driving a touch sensor. More specifically, the embodiments herein relate to a method and device for labeling a touch region of a display device which can reduce the time required for sensing multi-touch as well as reduce the required memory size for the touch region labeling.
2. Discussion of the Related Art
A touch sensor receives information as a result of a user touching a screen of various display devices. Touch sensors are widely applied to computer systems as an information input device. Touch sensors enables users to move or select displayed information by simple touch of the screen with a finger or a stylus.
The touch sensor senses a touch and a position on the screen of the display device corresponding to the touch. The touch sensor provides the touch information to a computer system that analyzes the touch information to carry out an associated action. Depending on sensing principles, in touch sensing technologies, there are various types of touch sensors such as a resistance membrane type, a capacitive type, optical type, an infrared type, an ultrasonic type, and an electro-magnetic type.
The touch sensor may be an on-cell touch sensor which is fabricated in a display panel and attached on an upper side of the display device, or an in-cell touch sensor which is built in a pixel matrix of the display device. A photo touch sensor perceives touch with a photo-transistor according to intensity of a light whereas a capacitive touch sensor perceives touch according to capacitive variation.

Electrorectogram study of the neuropathic rectum.
The rectal electrical activity was studied by electrorectogram (ERG) in 28 patients with spinal cord injury (SCI) (mean age 46.6 years, 18 men and 10 women) and nine healthy volunteers (controls). Nineteen patients had an upper motor neuron lesion (UMNL) and 9 a lower motor neuron lesion (LMNL). The ERG was recorded by a monopolar silver-silver chloride electrode applied to the rectal mucosa by suction. Simultaneous recording of the rectal and rectal neck pressures was performed. At least four recording sessions of 120 min each were done for every subject. No complications were encountered during the test. The ERG in normal subjects showed pacesetter potentials (PP) with a regular rhythm and constant frequency and were reproducible in the individual subject. PP were followed by action potentials (AP) which had an inconsistent frequency and were associated with increased rectal pressure. The ERG in UMNL patients exhibited 'dysrhythmia' with irregular frequency, amplitude and velocity. The AP did not show in any recording. LMNL patients had a 'silent' ERG. In conclusion, two patterns of ERG could be identified in SCI patients: dysrhythmic and silent. The cause of the disordered ERG could be due to derangement of the intrinsic rectal conducting system.

If you read my recent post, Beautifully, you may know that I decided to go the month of February without wearing makeup. It was an interesting and difficult experience that I would like to share with you.
I have to confess, the first two weeks or so – and especially the first few days – I nearly forgot that I wasn’t using any makeup and I would pull it out and set it on the counter only then to remember that no matter how much I wanted to, I couldn’t use it. In part this was because of the fact that I had become so used to going into the bathroom first thing in the morning and slathering on foundation, blinking into mascara and putting on chap-stick at the very least. There was also a part of me that truly did not want to put myself through this, and just wanted to give up and forget I had ever decided this in the first place.
But mostly, it was difficult to look in the mirror at my hyper-pigmented, scarred and blemished skin and small eyes that begged for mascara and eyeliner, and not be able to cover it up and hide the things I really didn’t like seeing in the mirror. So many times I argued with myself in the morning, coming close to slipping up and falling back into the routine I had become so used to.
But I didn’t.
I’m not writing this because I want pity – or recognition for muddling through it for that matter.
But, In blunt honesty, the entire month was hard.
Really hard.
I avoided mirrors so I wouldn’t have to look at myself. I had to keep reminding myself why I was doing what I was, but even that was unconvincing.
My most powerful lesson came after I had begun to wear makeup again.
I play piano, have for eleven years, which means I often get volunteered to play for events – especially at church. Anyway, the women’s ministry we have at my church had asked me to play for them at an event on Saturday, which meant I got to listen to the speaker they had lined up. She said something important in her lesson that I didn’t realize the power of until I was driving home after the event. It sounded a little something like this:
It doesn’t matter what you look like. It doesn’t matter if you are “too thin” or “too fat”, whether you have wrinkles or scars. You are made, fearfully and wonderfully in the image of God, and YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL and WORTHY despite the things you don’t like when you look in the mirror.
I’m paraphrasing a little, but this was the context of what she said, and I was blown away. It seems like women are told something like this all the time – by our parents, our friends, our significant other – you name it. How many of us actually believe it? Ha.
Yet, to doubt our own beauty and worth is to doubt that God’s creation is perfect and that he made each of us, knit us and molded us so intricately.
To not love ourselves and how we look is, frankly, an insult to God’s handiwork.So why is it so easy to pick and choose what we like and dislike about ourselves, and beat ourselves up over those things we have deemed unworthy and not beautiful?
I wish that I had a good answer for this, but I truthfully don’t. It’s hard to love the things we find so easy to hate. There are many days that I get so worked up in comparing myself to others and picking apart my flaws that I bring myself to tears. .
I see so many others feeling the same, and it breaks my heart.
So, if you are reading this, I challenge you.
Don’t allow makeup to enslave you like I did, like so many other women have.
Freely, unashamedly look into mirrors and tell yourself how beautiful you are – even if you don’t feel that way – until you believe it. God made every piece of you, He has numbered the hairs on your head and He loves every last inch of you. In you, He created a lovely and fearless soul and He will gently remind you day by day how much you are worth if you let Him.
I have challenged myself to do the same.
Because I can promise you that you are fearfully, wonderfully, beautifully, intricately made in the image of a perfect, glorious and loving God.
Today might just have been the worst I have had for awhile and even though part of me would love to throw myself a pity party, I won’t bore you with the details.
I’m the type of person to ‘go home and cry about it’ whenever something bad happens. This is not a good quality, I know… But this particular “crappy” day acted as the smack in the face that I honestly needed. So instead of my usual moping on the couch with comfort food and Modern Family, I decided to seek out the reason behind the fact that today was simply the breaking point to a few weeks of not feeling myself.
Here’s the deal: I’m really skilled at faking it, but most days my self confidence is definitely lacking, and for whatever reason this had been even more of an issue for the last month or so. My life is filled with so many awesome women, yet I can’t help be a little intimidated, constantly wondering why I am not as beautiful as them.
I realize that this is a question straight from the pit of Hell. I get that. But some days, I ask it anyway. So in a feeble attempt to make myself feel better, I have become reliant on makeup. I’ve never been one to wear a lot of it, but I have been one to hide behind the makeup I do wear.
I guess a little bit of backstory would be good here… My mom used to be a consultant for Mary Kay, so I have had access to makeup for as long as I can remember. I got my hands on my first tube of mascara in sixth grade – next came foundation, and you know the rest of this story.
Maybe it is because I am very introverted, or perhaps it is because I take everything that is said to me a little too seriously, but it freaked me out when someone would point out that my skin wasn’t blemish free, hence I caked on the makeup to try to hide it. When it was addressed that I have “small eyes”, eyeliner became my best friend. In fact, I haven’t gone out in public without any makeup for years.
First of all, I realize that there are women who can confidently go without makeup and are perfectly fine with it. I am not one of them. That being said, I have come to the conclusion that I want to be!
So for the next month I am going to step wayyyyyyy out of my comfort zone and not wear a drop of makeup.
It is going to be a challenge, but my prayer is that it can teach me that my beauty comes from within, not from covering up and hiding the things that I think aren’t beautiful. Because deep down, I’d rather be known for having a beautiful heart than for having a pretty face.
Here goes!
Do not let your adorning be external—but let your adorning be the hidden person of the heart with the imperishable beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which in God’s sight is very precious. (1 Peter 3:3-4)

Anyone who has been paying attention for the last 5 years -- even a liberal -- knows that any claim that the press is slanted against the left is laughable. The media have been major proponents and advocates for ObamaCare since it was a glimmer in the President's eye. But the Obama minions at MoveOn must deflect responsibility for this mess away from the President and congressional Democrats in order to complete his utopian transformation of America from now until his term is over.
MoveOn.org is not happy that ObamaCare has become a "political nightmare" so they are blaming their cronies in the "mainstream media" (yes, they actually use that term) for failing to present balanced coverage of ObamaCare's successes. [See their latest mass email below.] To combat this grave injustice, they are launching a campaign against the Democrat-Media Complex by flooding newsrooms and the internet with stories of the millions of Americans who have purportedly benefitted from ObamaCare.

If you've benefited from Obamacare, or know someone who has-share your story today:
MoveOn members fought long and hard for health care reform because we knew it would improve the lives of tens of millions of Americans. Democrats have had a hard time thus far explaining just how beneficial the new law is, but we don't plan on letting a PR mishap derail the most significant investment in our country's social safety net in generations.

If you have a child with a pre-existing condition-as of September 2010, health insurance companies can no longer deny your child coverage because of that condition, and as of next year, this rule will apply to Americans of all ages.
Here are just some of the ways you may have benefited already:
The HealthCare.gov website rollout was just the latest piece in the enactment of the Affordable Care Act-Americans have actually been benefiting from the law since 2010. But that's a fact you wouldn't know if you only listened to mainstream media.
If we're going to change the narrative, though, we've got to start flooding the Internet and the newsrooms with real-world stories from people whose lives are already better because of the Affordable Care Act. That's the only way the media is every going to pay attention.
Thankfully, we know what it'll take to turn this political moment around: We're launching a big campaign calling on the media to start giving balanced coverage-and demanding that Congress stand strong for health care reform, because their constituents depend on it.
But we can't go back-we won't go back-to the bad ol' days before comprehensive health care reform.
A botched website rollout and the media's refusal to cover the stories of the millions of Americans who have already benefited from Obamacare have left the president weakened, Democrats scared, and Republicans emboldened to keep pushing their radical health-care-defunding agenda.
The past three weeks have been a political nightmare for the Affordable Care Act.
MoveOn members are committed to getting out the truth about Obamacare's successes, even amid the news' recent slanted coverage. But if we're going to get the mainstream media to pay attention, we need to share the real-world stories of people whose lives are being improved. Can you share your Obamacare success story (or that of a family member) today?
Strange way to get the truth, but then again, whodathunk Obama would turn on one of his greatest assets--the press. What's next? Hollywood? Academia?
Let's hope, in their frenzied struggle to bail out ObamaCare, Obama's team continues to supply the 2014 and 2016 elections with more valuable admissions about Obama's abysmal record. For a machine that has beautifully choreographed -- for 5 years -- the dance of lies needed to protect His Highness from multiple scandals that put all previous administrations to shame, bits of the truth are finally allowed out to advance his signature "achievement" and protect it from failure. By exposing the administration's lies, they hope to save the big lie that is ObamaCare.
What's really got me jazzed about MoveOn.org's announcement of this campaign against the media, is their admission in the body of the email that the economy is still struggling. In claiming that 26 year olds might have already benefited from ObamaCare, MoveOn stated, "If you're recently out of college and struggling to find employer-based coverage in the sluggish economy-you can now opt to stay on your parents' plan until you're 26 years old." [Emphasis added.] As far as admissions go, it doesn't get any better than this.

Biologic survival.
The results of long-term studies on the efficacy and safety profiles of the biologics for patients with psoriasis are starting to appear in the literature. Not only are the results promising for the biologics as a whole, but the high number of patients remaining in these clinical trials after extended periods of time, or retention, may also reflect additional benefits of these biologics. The aim of this review was to manuscript aims to compare rates of attrition for the various biologic therapies in pivotal clinical trials in order to assess and compare adherence of patients to long-term use of the different biologic agents, also known as biologic survival. An in-depth literature review was conducted using PubMed and MEDLINE. Randomized, controlled trials utilizing biologic agents as monotherapy for the treatment of psoriasis were analyzed for patient numbers over time. Studies which provided data on patient retention for at least 24 weeks were selected, graphed, and compared. Reasons for discontinuation were noted. Nineteen trials were selected, graphed and charted to compare attrition rates of the various biologic therapies. Due to differences in sample size, study design, dosing regimens, study duration and limited data with regards to patient numbers, it is difficult to reach a definitive conclusion as to which biologic agent is associated with the lowest rate of discontinuation. However, given the data available, etanercept appears to be the most successful therapy in terms of patient retention in studies both greater than and less than 30 weeks. For the studies using various dosing regimens, intrastudy attrition rates are also compared. While the data available thus far on patient retention for the biologic therapies are very limited, preliminary conclusions can be drawn. Among the available biologic agents, etanercept appears to be associated with the lowest rate of discontinuation. This may be due to greater superior effiacy and to a decreased likelihood of experiencing adverse events.

Maze62: a dense and speedy alphanumeric encoding for binary data - DenisM
http://blog.altudov.com/2011/05/16/maze62-a-dense-and-speedy-alphanumeric-encoding-for-binary-data/
======
andfarm
I'm having trouble thinking of any situations where you're free to use any
alphanumerics, but you absolutely can't use anything else. The closest thing
that comes to mind is DNS, and that's a 36-character set, not 62.
Ascii85 (<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Base85>) uses a similar concept, but
using the majority of the printable ASCII characters. It gets a hard-to-beat
20% expansion on binary data (4 bytes in 5 chars) without requiring bigint
math.
~~~
deweller
I'm pretty sure the canonical use case for this would be for including complex
binary data in a URL. A URL shortener might be a good example.
~~~
DenisM
Another thing people don't talk much about is copy-paste. Double click on an
alphanumeric will select the entire thing, whereas other characters might
cause selection to end prematurely, and differently so in different text
editors.
------
waterhouse
I think this has the drawback that if you want to look up, say, bits n through
m, you'd need to process the whole string up to that point. Lookup would be
O(n) rather than O(1). Is that a problem? (I don't know, maybe people only use
base64-like encoding in places where they'd just read the data in once at the
beginning, convert it to a better internal representation, and never touch the
base64 version again.)
On the other hand, if it is a problem, how's this idea: Use strings of 129
base-62 digits to represent strings of 128 base-64 digits. I pick 128 because
it might be convenient, and 129/128 is close to optimal:
arc> (* 129 (log 62 64))
128.01522067331783
Or if decoding 128 digits at a time when you just want a couple is excessive,
you could use 17 base-62 digits for 16 base-64 digits (which has a space
inefficiency of 1/16th, or 6.25%), or 9 for 8 (inefficiency 12.5%), or
whatever.
~~~
DenisM
Random access was not a priority, yes. In fact it didn't even occur to me, not
even for a moment :)
As to your proposed algorithm, yes, it could work. It's discussed in passing a
bit earlier in this thread, here's direct link:
<http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2554726>
Not sure about comparative space efficiency of this vs Maze64, but we're
likely splitting hairs at this point :), it should be very close. Yes it could
work. Converting 128 characters from base64 to base62 would cost N^2 time,
where N is 128. Not sure if it's a big deal. Just another approach.
~~~
waterhouse
Hmm, and one could extend this chunking approach to Maze62. Consume 12 bits
(aka two base64 integers), but if the resulting number is in the range
[62^2=3844 to 64^2-1=4095] or [0 to 64^2-62^2-1=251], then add that extra
quotient bit to the next input (from which you'll consume only 11 bits). That
would make the worst case only take 12/11ths as long, or 109%, instead of
6/5ths as long, or 120%, as the best case (which would be the same as before).
One could extend it upwards as far as desired (probably approaching log_64(62)
worst-case and average-case space compared to base64[1]), though the integer
arithmetic would become a pain eventually. 12/11 or maybe 18/17 (105.8%) or
24/23 (104.3%) is probably good enough for most purposes. The relatively
hardcore might use 60/59 (101.7%), which x86_64 machines can still do with CPU
arithmetic (an integer multiply of two 64-bit integers stores the results in
two 64-bit registers, and you can then do an integer divide on that, which
stores the quotient and remainder in those registers).
[1] Average case: I analyze it like this. If you encode n base64 integers at a
time, then you'll encode 6n bits at a time, but 6n-1 bits if you're unlucky
and get a number in the ranges [62^n, 64^n - 1] or [0, 64^n - 62^n - 1]. These
two ranges, taken together, make 2 * (64^n - 62^n) numbers out of 64^n
possible n-digit base64 numbers. Thus, on average, you encode
6n - 1 * [2 * (64^n - 62^n)]/64^n
= 6n - 2 * (1 - (62/64)^n)
bits for every group of n characters, or
6 - 2/n * (1 - (62/64)^n)
bits per character. (Note that this analysis only applies while 62^n < 64^n <
2 * 62^n, so taking n -> ∞ gives misleading results.) The original Maze62
proposal has n = 1, and this yields 5.9375 bits per character on average,
which is pretty good. (Check this: 5 * 4/64 + 6 * 60/64 = 5.9375.) The next
few values are:
1 5.9375
2 5.9384765625
3 5.939432779947917
4 5.940369129180908
...
10 5.945595231334425
Theoretical limit:
6 * log_64(62) = 5.954196310386876
So I guess there's really not much to be gained for the average case by
increasing n. But someone pointed out that all-0 and all-1 sequences happen
frequently in real situations, so it may be worth it anyway.

That's a great idea, and it will probably speed up possible native
implementations (though likely at the expense of scripting languages).
To deal with large runs of identical numbers (e.g. all zeroes) someone
suggested in my blog comments to XOR the input array with a result of a chosen
pseudo-random function. This will bring any dataset into the realm of average
(5.9375) except for the dataset that is specifically targeting the chosen
pseudo-random function. :)

Claiming this is dense, OK. That's just math. But how can you claim this is
"speedy" when you have an unpolished _Python_ implementation in hand? You need
to bench against best-of-breed Base64 implementations, not some pure-Python
comparison you may write up in the future, and for that you're going to need
to go at least C, and I wouldn't be surprised down to the assembler. Just
stick with "dense" and claim "speedy" when you've got some numbers.
(I suspect you won't beat or even tie Base64, but I'm prepared to accept that
you only got within X% of base64 but that X% is worth it in some scenario. And
maybe if you get clever enough you can prove me wrong.)
~~~
DenisM
It's speedy compared to base62.
See, the problem is that Base64 is linear is speed, but has large (non-
alphanumeric) charset, while base62 has small (alphanumeric) charset but is
quadratic in speed (at least in its straightforward implementation, the only
one I was able to find).
Maze62 is the encoding that is both constrained in charset and liner in speed.
Hence, the title.
Does it make sense?

jerf
OK, that's fair. Thanks.

If you don't mind using - and _ then the implementation is very simple. I
posted an example in Python and CoffeeScript to SO recently for doing this
exact thing.

FYI, it seems to be known as this:
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Base64#URL_applications>
~~~
Acorn
Hmm, looking at python's base64.urlsafe_b64encode(s), padding is still used.
So it sounds like it doesn't fully implement the "modified Base64 for URL"
spec.
Base64 encoding also seems to result in quite long ascii strings compared to
what I threw together.
Or is there a way to use Base64 which would give results of a comparable
length?
~~~
DenisM
It's a lot longer because it doesn't know your have encoded your input data
in, essentially base-1. If you to convert it to base-256 (that is, and array
of bytes, instead or array of bits as you have now) it would produce the same
length. Yes, there is base64 implementation in pretty much any language,
though they usually use + and / for the two extra characters.
As wikipedia says, padding can be added or removed as a matter of taste: _From
a theoretical point of view the padding character is not needed, since the
number of missing bytes can be calculated from the number of base64 digits._

My first impression is that this algorithm is going to be much slower than
Base64 due to all the branching. This probably won't be visible in Python, but
I don't think there's any way to make it really fly when optimized.
There are probably cases where this is acceptable, but I'm inclined to think
that Base32 is a better choice if larger size is acceptable, and that Base64
with domain appropriate characters is better where performance counts.
~~~
colomon
Really depends on what you want to do with it, doesn't it? He mentions
character limits in URLs as a motivation, and at reasonable lengths for that I
imagine Maze62 in Python will be plenty fast....
------
peterbotond
recently, i needed to encode/decode similar data, and base64 with a variable
64 chars seemed to work just as good. say, - or / are problem chars, then make
another set of 64 chars which would have a comma and a dot or alike and there
you go. keep the sets in a table or somehting and use the first 2 chars as
indicator which set of 64 to use for that data.

jtchang
Cool stuff. Can you post a few examples of the encoding?

andrewcooke
why is base62 quadratic?
~~~
dfox
Naive implementation certainly is, as it involves one multiplication (of
number whose size depends linearly depends on number of previously processed
bytes) for each input byte and one division for each output byte. But on the
other hand I have this feeling, that more effective implementation is possible
(and actually used by modern compression algorithms like RAR and LZMA).
~~~
andrewcooke
but couldn't you have a stream algorithm with modular arithmetic?
[edit: i thought i had a good demonstration of this. actually, two. but both
were wrong. so it does seem to be non-trivial...]
[edit 2: open stack overflow question:
[http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3545931/efficient-
algorit...](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3545931/efficient-algorithm-
for-conversion-between-numeral-system) ]
~~~
DenisM
If we could, we wouldn't call it base62, as base62 normally means converting
the entire "bigint" (all bytes of input data as one big number) into base-62
representation. At least that's how baseXX has been used to far (I searched
the web before doing this), and I am in favor of sticking to that naming
convention. Agreed?
Now, whether we could come up with such streaming algorithm I'm not sure. I
tried solving this problem, and this is what I came up with. Maybe I haven't
tried hard enough to go the other route... I guess you could simply slice the
incoming stream into a set of chunks, each small enough to make bigin base62
conversion fast (which is square of the size of the chunk), and yet large
enough to obscure the occasional loss of space at the chunk boundaries... I
guess that would be an option...

Q:
Disable wifi adapter warning
I normally have my WIFI adapter disabled in Windows 7.
Whenever I restart or boot the machine, it pops up a warning that it is disabled. Doh, I know this. The balloon notification appears in the bottom right of the screen:
How can I disable this annoying warning (which interrupts and delays the startup process btw)?
Note that this is a "balloon warning" from the righthand side of the taskbar (where utilities/hardware are located). The activating software is the "Intel PROSet Wireless WiFi Software".
Here is the "Customize" options from Windows with the Wireless item among them. Note that there is no "Show Icon and Hide Notifications" choice:

I figured out how to solve the problem. The key is to single click on the notification balloon. You have to do this fast, because it disappears after a few seconds. When you do this the following "troubleshooter" pops up:

Happy 2015 - May it bring Truth, Justice and a renewal of freedom.
Attention!
To all
those loyal RMN Readers who forked over $4,300 last month and have
been told in no uncertain terms they are to step lively and pay over
more immediately!
And if the
money does not get laid down fast enough the threats start that the
RMN Reposting Station will go off line – now, tell me again why
that would matter? What does RMN provide in the way of insights
which makes any difference what-so-ever? None.
And about
the MOVE
All of you
have have been watching the Move Which Never Seems to Happen. Cast
your mind back. This stupidity started last July. Do you anyone
else in the world who has taken this long to move, despite the steady
stream of funds from harassed Readers who respond to the whining and
pleas and send money? No. Even dead people move faster and no one
pays them for being dead.
But there
has been a development.
Ms. Smith
turned off her utilities as of yesterday, December 30th.
I learned of this when the water stopped. I knew better than to ask
Ms. Smith as this only results is screaming and her running around
flapping her hands as she sprays spittle on everything in range.
So I called
the water company. No, it had not been turned off – she just did
not pay the bill. It was a couple of hundred dollars, so she could
well have paid it with the largess you put out. But she didn't. And
the curious non-appearance of the Jeep continues. Evidently, Ms.
Smith puts in a call and her on call chauffeur appears with the Jeep
to do her bidding. Other cars are also involved. I wonder how many
of these she paid for? Excuse me, that you paid for.
I then
called the electric company and found out that she ended her service
that day and this would be turned off forthwith. Ditto with the gas
company.
I have a
badly disabled son. He has to have a place to sleep and basic
necessities, for instance a bathroom he can navigate.
So, since
it was clear Ms. Smith was moving immediately I put all the utilities
in my name and made payments.
Let's see –
she told all of you she has a farm house and 65 acres of land where
she is going to start farming. But she needed a tiny bit of help to
pay for the linoleum because she cannot bear to live in a house with
a rug on the dining room floor, through that is what she has now and
her early years were spent living in a chicken coop with her family,
she once told me.
Ms. Smith
once told me her rent is $600 a month. Maybe she lied, after all,
she lies about everything. But that is what she told me. She could
have bought this place for $30,000.
A surprise
is coming for Ms. Smith which will make the coming year less fun for
her.
Now, to the
issue of Cheney's role in 9/11.
Clearly,
the only people who had nothing to do with it are, or were, Saddam
Hussein and Osama bin Laden. Given how much Cheney enjoys torture he
was probably on the spot and panting at Abu
Ghraib.
Most
people, if asked, would support Cheney for the title of Most
Psychopathic, even ahead of any serial killer you can name or other
NeoCons.
John
Fund commented to us that there was a lot of excitement and happiness
in Cheney's office as they were gathered up and bundled off, Cheney
being sort of Second in Command, or virtual first in command.
Which
reminded me of a little site I put up in 2007 which is, yes!, still
there.
Short
hiatus.
Now
you can vote for the Most Psychopathic of a highly disordered bunch.
Was ever an election more likely to yield a correct winner? This
is an issue which could hurry the development of a new generation of
fMRI technology so the answer could be reliably ascertained. Vote
HERE
Enough.
It is 2015, a new year for hammering NeoCon scum and their Brothers
in Crime.

I never read Marie Kondo’s book, "The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up." When the English translation hit shelves in 2014, Kondo’s guide became a New York Times Bestseller and her advice to question if an item “sparks joy” became part of the cultural vernacular. I deliberately steered the other way. Smash-hit best-sellers scare me. I acknowledge their success, I store away the title for later reading once the hype dies down — and then the movie or TV version comes out and I inevitably just watch that instead.
Personal history repeated itself when Kondo’s new Netflix show, "Tidying Up," dropped in one neat and bingeable eight-episode package on Jan. 1. I watched, I questioned why I’d never read the book, and then I got inspired. Along with what feels like everyone else on my social media feeds, I’ve spent the early days of 2019 decluttering my living space and learning how to properly fold.
There’s something else at work here, something more than Kondo’s unmistakable charm as she teaches various families how to organize their toolboxes and laundry rooms and lives.
Kondo has been somewhat of a household name for several years now, which may be why her show became such an overnight hit. But there’s something else at work here, something more than Kondo’s unmistakable charm as she teaches various families how to organize their toolboxes and laundry rooms and lives.
Get the think newsletter. This site is protected by recaptcha
Importantly, Kondo’s goal is not to design the perfect home — Kondo couldn’t care less what color someone’s walls are — it’s to seek out and increase the tranquility in one’s space and amongst one’s things. It imagines the home as a sanctuary, rather than a dream house. Upon entering each house, Kondo has a practice of sitting meditatively on the floor and introducing herself to the space. “All we’re communicating to the house is that we’re thanking it first for always protecting you and that we’re about to begin this process of tidying,” she explains in episode one. It’s quiet, it’s kind, and for reality television, at least, it’s radical.
On a purely practical level, the series has set itself apart from its more voyeuristic peers. While these families sort through their miscellaneous cupboards and bulging filing cabinets, so can we. It’s a reality show in part built on audience participation, a truth acknowledged via Kondo’s direct-to-camera lessons on how to store everything from neckties to baby clothes to pet toys.
It’s also a technique that worked nearly instantly on me. Episode one was not even halfway through when, in a quest to find my own magic, I began wrestling all the hangers out of my closet and evaluating my t-shirts on their ability to spark joy.
Indeed, clothing is an incredibly important part of Kondo’s method; each episode begins with a massive clothing sort. Kondo argues you can’t clean your home by room, you must clean it by category, clothing first. It’s brilliantly simple, and it brings everyone down to the same level — at least at the beginning.
That said, "Tidying Up" is not your average American phenomenon. Deceptively innocuous, it is ushering an array of un-American philosophies to the American television mainstream: declutter your life, be thankful for the home you have, practice gratitude. In a country filled with overstuffed garages and increasingly excessive home makeover shows — think "Fixer Upper," or "Extreme Home Makeover," or even "Hoarders" — "Tidying Up" preaches humility, and the idea that we should tidy our homes to show ourselves and our living spaces respect.
The show’s refreshing optimism is another large part of the appeal; it mirrors shows like "The Great British Bake Off" in its unmitigated kindness. Contrast this with the general global climate of negativity and political fear. Look into Kondo’s world and everything is organized, cheerful and attainable. If sorting the vitamin bottles on top of my fridge and folding my underwear into tiny tents will help me feel a modicum more joy in this unsettling world, then for goodness sake I’ll try it.
The show’s refreshing optimism is another large part of the appeal; it mirrors shows like "The Great British Bake Off" in its unmitigated kindness.
“The point of this process isn’t to force yourself to eliminate things,” Kondo says in the final episode of the season. “It’s really to confirm how you feel about each and every item that you possess.” As a viewer, that connected. It’s the idea that sent me searching for the step-stool in order to clean out my Tupperware cabinets. Pare down my home so it’s only filled with things that actually make me happy, and the benefits will ripple through my life? Nothing new must be acquired, no walls knocked down or kitchen islands built — I’m in.
I’m still deep in the Kondo-ing of my home — it’s a lengthy journey — but as Kondo says time and again on the program, this process will be completed. When I posted a before and after photo of my newly folded piles on Instagram, a friend described Kondo-ing as “the new Netflix and chill." And, at least for this week, she’s right. Amid a shutdown government and a whiplash-inducing news cycle, we could all use a little bit of peace and magic, and literal chill. I’ll admit that there’s an undeniable feeling of calm having the previously forgotten parts of my home now neatly arranged. My socks are folded perfectly in rows, a private, Kondo-led rebellion against the chaos of the world.

In this paper, we investigate so-called spherical photon orbits around a deformed Kerr black hole with an extra deformation parameter. The change in the azimuth $\Delta\varphi$ and the angle of dragging of nodes per revolution $\Delta\Omega $ of a complete latitudinal oscillated orbit is calculated analytically. Finally, representative six examples orbits are plotted out to illustrate how spherical photon orbits look like and exhibit some interesting behavior. Especially, this spherical photon orbits are absent in circular orbits and different from the Kerr case.

Introduction
============
The investigation of null geodesic motion can reveal significant features of a curved spacetime. Especially, there are unstable and stable photon orbits around the compact objects. The unstable photon orbits define the boundary between capture and non-capture of across-section of light rays of black hole such as the shadow in lensing images[@sha2; @sha3; @sha4], on the other hand, the stable photon have directly link with the optical appearance[@sha5] of the thin accretion disk[@Luminet] and chaotic scattering in lensing around of hairy black holes and spacetime instabilities[@sw; @fpos2; @fpos3]. These fundamental photon orbits have an interested invariant structures around dynamical systems and compact objects[@BI; @mingzhi0]. In more specifically, the so-called spherical photon orbits[@Wilkins; @teo]–orbits with constant coordinate radii that are not confined to the equatorial plane, have rich orbital structure, i.e. periodic orbit of the longitudinal motion of particles. This orbits can further reveal the feature of black holes.
Spherical timelike orbits around the Kerr black hole was firstly proposed by Wilkins[@Wilkins]. An explicit example of spherical timelike orbits was plotted with numerical integration in paper[@Goldstein]. The extension to the case of the charged Kerr Newman black hole was considered in Ref [@Johnston]. Further more, an example of a non-spherical timelike orbit around the Kerr black hole was obtained by numerical integration in Stoghianidis[@Stoghianidis] ’s work. However, there has been less work done on spherical photon orbits. Early examples of spherical photon orbits in the hyper-extreme Kerr space-time were illustrated in [@Schastok] and offered a tantalizing hint as to how spherical photon orbits might look like. In Teo’s paper[@teo], several representative latitudinal oscillations photon orbits, including a zero-angular momentum photon orbit and one with non-fixed azimuthal direction, was plotted to illustrate how the spherical photon orbits look like. These orbits exhibit a variety of interesting behavior that are absent in circular orbits.
Recently the LIGO [@gw1; @gw2; @gw3; @gw4] and VIRGO collaborations reported the observation of gravitational-wave signal corresponding to the inspiral and merger of two black holes. However, the current precision of the experiment there remains some possibility for alternative theories of gravity. Konoplya and Zhidenko [@kz; @RLs] have proposed a deformed Kerr black hole metric beyond general relativity through adding a static deformation, which can be looked as an axisymmetric vacuum solution of a unknown alternative theory of gravity [@RLs]. This deformed Kerr black hole has three parameter, i.e., the mass $M$, the rotation parameter $a$, and the deformation parameter $\eta$. $\eta$ describes the deviation from the usual Kerr one and modifies sharply the structures of spacetime in the strong-field region. Moreover, research work about shadow of lensing[@mingzhi], energy extraction[@fen], strong gravitational lensing effect[@sy], the iron line [@GKt02] and the quasi-periodic oscillations [@GKt01] endorse that the geometry of a real astrophysical black hole could be described by such a deformed Kerr metric.
In this paper, we shall focus on spherical photon orbits (with positive energy) outside the event horizon of the deformed Kerr[@kz; @RLs] black hole. We shall find it quite amazing that photons can actually trace out such orbits around the deformed Kerr black hole, and also compared our result with the Kerr case[@teo]. This may provide a possibility to test how astronomical black holes with deformation parameter deviate from the Kerr black hole from the orbital motion aspect.
The paper is organized as follows: In Sec. II, we will derive the relevant geodesic equations of deformed Kerr black hole. In Sec. III, the conditions for the existence of spherical photon orbits are considered. In Sec.IV, the expression for the change in the orbit¡¯s azimuth for every oscillation in latitude. 3D orbit and the corresponding projective plane of selected spherical photon orbits is plotted by numerical integration to illustrate how it differ from the Kerr case. Finally, we end the paper with a summary.
The null geodesic equations in the deformed Kerr black hole
============================================================
The deformed Kerr metric obtained in Ref.[@kz; @RLs] describes the geometry of a rotating black hole with the deviations from the Kerr one through adding an extra deformation. The deformed Kerr metric in the standard Boyer-Lindquist coordinates can be expressed as $$\begin{aligned}
\label{xy}
ds^{2} &=& -\bigg(1-\frac{2Mr^2+\eta}{r\rho^{2}}\bigg)dt^{2}
+\frac{\rho^{2}}{\Delta}dr^{2}+\rho^{2} d\theta^{2}+\sin^{2}\theta\bigg[r^{2}+a^{2}
+\frac{(2Mr^{2}+\eta)a^2\sin^{2}\theta}{r\rho^{2}}\bigg]d\varphi^{2}\\ \nonumber
&-&\frac{2(2Mr^2+\eta)a\sin^{2}\theta}{r\rho^{2}}dtd\varphi,\end{aligned}$$ with $$\Delta=a^{2}+r^{2}-2Mr-\frac{\eta}{r},\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\; \rho^{2}=r^{2}+a^{2}\cos^{2}\theta.$$ where $M$, $a$ and $\eta$ denote the mass, the angular momentum and the deformation parameter of black hole, respectively. The deformation parameter $\eta$ describes the deviations from the Kerr metric. As the parameter $\eta$ vanishes, the metric reduces to the case of Kerr.In Ref [@kz; @sy], the condition for the existence of black hole horizon is analyzed in detail. In the case $a<M$, the existence of black hole horizon require [@sy] $$\label{hcz}
\eta\geq \eta_{c1}\equiv-\frac{2}{27}(\sqrt{4M^{2}-3a^{2}}+2M)^{2}(\sqrt{4M^{2}-3a^{2}}-M),$$ while in the case $a>M$, it becomes $\eta>0$. When $\eta$ and $a$ lie in other regions, there is no horizon and then the spacetime (\[xy\]) becomes a naked singularity. Thus, the value of $\eta$ determines the number and positions of black hole horizons. These spacetime properties affect the propagation of photon and further changes shadow of deformed Kerr black hole.
The Hamiltonian of a photon propagation along null geodesics in a deformed Kerr black hole can be expressed as $$H(x_i, p_i) =\frac{1}{2}g^{\mu\nu}(x)p_{\mu}p_{\nu}=
\frac{\Delta}{2\rho^2}p_r^2+\frac{1}{2\rho^2}p_\theta^2+f(r,\theta,p_t,p_\varphi)=0 ,$$ Since there exist two ignorable coordinates $t$ and $\phi$ in the above Hamiltonian, it is easy to obtain two conserved quantities $E$ and $L_{z}$ with the following forms $$\begin{aligned}
\label{EL}
E=-p_{t}=-g_{tt}\dot{t}-g_{t\varphi}\dot{\varphi},\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;
L_{z}=p_{\varphi}=g_{\varphi\varphi}\dot{\varphi}+g_{\varphi t}\dot{t},\end{aligned}$$ which correspond to the energy and angular momentum of photon moving in the deformed Kerr black hole. With these two conserved quantities, after tedious calculation, we obtain the null geodesic equation[@mingzhi0]. $$\begin{aligned}
\label{tfc}
\dot{t}&=&E+\frac{(a^{2}E-aL_{z}+Er^{2})(2Mr^{2}+\eta)}{\Delta\rho^{2}r},
\\
\label{jfc}
\dot{\varphi}&=&\frac{aE\sin^{2}\theta(2Mr^{2}+\eta)
+a^{2}L_{z}r\cos^{2}\theta-L_{z}(2Mr^{2}
-r^{3}+\eta)}{\Delta\rho^{2}r\sin^{2}\theta},\\
\label{rfc}
\rho^{4}\dot{r}^{2}&=&R(r)=-\Delta[Q+(aE-L_{z})^{2}]+[aL_{z}-(r^{2}+a^{2})E]^{2},
\\
\label{thfc}
\rho^{4}\dot{\theta}^{2}&=&p_{\theta}^{2}=\Theta(\theta)=Q-\cos^{2}\theta
\bigg(\frac{L_{z}^{2}}{\sin^{2}\theta}-a^{2}E^{2}\bigg),\end{aligned}$$ where the quantity $Q$ is the generalized Carter constant related to the constant of separation $K$ by $Q=K-(aE-L_{z})^2$.
We note that while these equations are concise and appealing in some ways, during numerical integration they tend to accumulate error at the turning points due to the explicit square roots in the $r$ and $\theta$ equations, not to mention the nuisance of having to change the signs of the $r$ and $\theta$ velocities by hand at every turning point. Following the procedure in Ref [@Levin] , We will convert this equation into Hamiltonian formulation to avoid the numerical difficulties and smoothly plot the selected spherical photon orbits.
So we rewrite the Hamiltonian as following $$H(x_, p_i) =
\frac{\Delta}{2\rho^2}p_r^2+\frac{1}{2\rho^2}p_\theta^2
-\frac{R + \Delta\Theta}{2\Delta \rho^2}
\quad\quad ,
\label{niceham}$$ with the help of Hamilton’s equations $$\label{D-Eq} \frac{dx^i}{d \lambda} = \frac{\partial H}{\partial
p_i} \, , \; \; \frac{dp_i}{d \lambda} = - \frac{\partial
H}{\partial x^i} \, ,$$ for the non-zero Hamiltonian formulation of the photon’s motion become as $$\begin{aligned}
\label{eom}
\dot{r} & =& \frac{\Delta}{\rho^2}p_{r}\label{geeoss1} , \\
\dot{p}_{r} & = &
-\left (\frac{\Delta}{2\rho^2}\right )'p_{r}^{2} -
\left (\frac{1}{2\rho^2}\right )'p_{\theta}^{2} + \left (\frac{R +
\Delta\Theta}{2\Delta\rho^2}\right )' \label{geeoss2}, \\
\dot{\theta}& = & \frac{1}{\rho^2}p_{\theta}
,\\
\dot{p}_{\theta} & = &
-\left (\frac{\Delta}{2\rho^2}\right )^{\theta}p_{r}^{2} -
\left (\frac{1}{2\rho^2}\right )^{\theta}p_{\theta}^{2} + \left (\frac{R +
\Delta\Theta}{2\Delta\rho^2}\right )^{\theta} \label{geeoss3},\\
\dot{t} & = & \frac{1}{2\Delta\rho^2} \frac{\partial (R+\Delta\Theta)}{\partial
E}\label{geeoss4}, \\
\dot{\varphi} & = & -\frac{1}{2\Delta\rho^2}
\frac{\partial(R +\Delta\Theta)}{\partial
L}, \label{geeoss5}\end{aligned}$$ where the superscripts $'$ and $\theta$ denote differentiation with respect to $r$ and $\theta$, respectively.
Spherical Photon Orbits around a deformed Kerr Black Hole
==========================================================
In this section, we shall study in detail the properties of the spherical photon orbit. The so-called spherical photon orbits–orbits with constant coordinate radii that are not confined to the equatorial plane and photon move as latitudinal oscillations in the permitted maximum $\theta$ angle[@Wilkins; @teo]. The radial equation of motion in the spherical photon orbits is unstable and satisfy $$\begin{aligned}
\dot{r}=0,\;\;\;\;\; \text{and} \;\;\;\; \ddot{r}=0,\end{aligned}$$ which yield $$\begin{aligned}
\label{r}
R(r)&=&-\Delta[Q+(aE-L_{z})^{2}]+[aL_{z}-(r^{2}+a^{2})E]^{2}=0,
\\
\label{r1}
R'(r)&=&-4Er[aL_{z}-(r^{2}+a^{2})E]-[Q+(aE-L_{z})^{2}]
(-2M+2r+\frac{\eta}{r^{2}})=0.\end{aligned}$$ For the unstable spherical orbits, we have $$\begin{aligned}

(1-\frac{\eta}{r^{3}})>0.\end{aligned}$$ Solving the two equation (\[r\]) and (\[r1\]), we find that for the spherical orbits motion of photon the reduced constants $\xi$ and $\sigma$ have the form $$\begin{aligned}
\label{pj}
\xi&\equiv&\frac{L_{z}}{E}=\frac{2a^{2}Mr^{2}-a^{2}\eta+2\Delta r^{3}-2Mr^{4}-3\eta r^{2}}{a(2Mr^{2}-2r^{3}-\eta)},\\
\label{q}
\sigma&\equiv&\frac{Q}{E^{2}}=\frac{-r^{4}[(6Mr^{2}-2r^{3}+5\eta)^{2}-8a^{2}(2Mr^{3}+3\eta r)]}{a^{2}(2r^{3}-2Mr^{2}+\eta)^{2}}.\end{aligned}$$ From Eq. (\[thfc\]), we find that $\xi$ and $\sigma$ obey $$\begin{aligned}
\label{fw}
\sigma-\xi^{2}\cot^2\theta+a^2\cos^{2}\theta\geq0.\end{aligned}$$ If we set $u = cos\theta$, when $\sigma$ is non-negative, The physically allowed ranges for $u_0$ is given as $$\begin{aligned}
\label{fw11}
u_0^2=\frac{(a^2-\xi-\sigma^2)+\sqrt{(a^2-\xi-\sigma^2)^2+4a^2\sigma}}{2a^2}\end{aligned}$$ As the initial radius of $r_0$ the spherical photon orbit is given, The physically allowed angular momentum $L$, Carter constant $Q$, $\theta$ range is also determined. we take the extreme Kerr black hole as an example to illustrate the relationship between $\theta$ and $r_0$, $L$, $Q$. in Fig. \[figure1\]. photon can oscillate between $arccos(u_0)$ and $arccos(-u_0)$, such orbits cross the equatorial plane repeatedly. all orbits either remain in the equatorial plane or cross it repeatedly. i.e. as the Carter constant $Q$ =0, photon orbit is entirely in the equatorial plane, while the Carter constant $Q$ =27, photon orbit is entirely in the $\theta$ direction. Especially, the zero angular momentum photon orbit has reached the maximum $\theta$ value.
![Variation of $\theta$ range of latitudinal oscillations with the initial radius of $r_0$, $L$, $Q$ in extreme Kerr black hole, here we set M=1 and E=1. \[figure1\]](sob.eps)
Since the spherical photon orbit is latitudinal oscillations and periodicity. it is useful to have a measure of this periodicity. One possibility is to consider the change in azimuth $\Delta\varphi$ for a complete latitudinal oscillation of the orbit. It turns out to be possible to obtain an exact expression for the azimuth $\Delta\varphi$ for the photon orbit[@Wilkins; @teo; @Goldstein; @Johnston], as we now briefly describe the azimuth $\Delta\varphi$ by finding the connection between $\theta$ and $\varphi$ motions.
If we set $w=u^2$, using Eqs. (\[jfc\]) and (\[thfc\]), we have $$\begin{aligned}
\label{thphi}
\frac{d\varphi}{dw}=\left(\frac{a(2Mr^2+\eta-a\xi~r)}{2\Delta r}+\frac{\xi}{2(1-w)}\right)\frac{1}{Y(w)},\end{aligned}$$ where $$\begin{aligned}
\label{thphis}
Y(w)^2=\sigma~w-(\sigma+\xi^2-a^2)w^2-a^2w^3.\end{aligned}$$ It would be useful to write the latter in the form $-a^2w(w-w_+)(w-w_-)$, where $w_+$ are the positive and negative roots of $Y(w)^2$, respectively. Then the change in azimuth for one complete oscillation in latitude is $$\begin{aligned}
\label{latitude}
\Delta\varphi=\frac{2a(2Mr^2+\eta-a\xi~r)}{\Delta r}\int_0^{w_+}\frac{dw}{Y(w)}+2\xi\int_0^{w_+}\frac{dw}{(1-w)Y(w)}.\end{aligned}$$ These integrals can be evaluated using standard techniques to give $$\begin{aligned}
\label{latitudeaas}
\Delta\varphi=\frac{4}{\sqrt{w_+-w_-}}\left(\frac{2Mr^2+\eta-a\xi~r}{\Delta r}K(\sqrt{\frac{w_+}{w_+-w_-}})+\frac{\xi}{a}\frac{1}{1-w_+}\Pi(\frac{-w_+}{1-w_+},
\sqrt{\frac{w_+}{w_+-w_-}}~)\right),\end{aligned}$$ where $K(x)$ and $\Pi(\upsilon,x)$ are the complete elliptic integrals of the first and third kind, respectively.
The specific dependence of the azimuth $\Delta\varphi$ on $r$ is shown in the left Fig. \[figure2\]. When $r_1<r<r_3$, the orbits are prograde whenever $\Delta\varphi$ is positive, on the other hand, When $r_3<r<r_2$, the orbits are reprograde whenever $\Delta\varphi$ is negative ( $r_1$ and $r_2$ are the solution of the carter constant $\sigma=0$, $r_3$ is the solution of zero angular momentum $\xi=0$). Notice that there is a discontinuity at $r=r_3$( zero angular momentum $\xi=0$), the value $\Delta\varphi$ at exactly $r=r_3$ , given by the Point $A$, is exactly half-way between the upper limit $\lim_{r\rightarrow~r^+_3}\Delta\varphi$ and the lower limits $\lim_{r\rightarrow~r^-_3}\Delta\varphi$. It turns out that there is a satisfying explanation for this behavior of 3D orbit of zero angular momentum photon in Fig. \[figure2\].
![Variation of the azimuth $\Delta\varphi$ and the angle of advance $\Delta\Omega$ of the nodes with the value $r$ in deformed Kerr black hole, $r_1$ and $r_2$ are the solution of the carter constant $\sigma=0$, $r_3$ is the solution of angular momentum $\xi=0$, the point $A$ is the exactly value $\Delta\varphi~(r_3)$ and $\Delta\Omega$. Here we set $M=1$, $\eta=0.1$ and E=1. \[figure2\]](good.eps)
Following Winkins[@Wilkins], we can define the ratio between the frequencies in the $\varphi$ and $\theta$ direction by $$\begin{aligned}
\label{feqs}
f=\frac{\upsilon_\varphi}{\upsilon_\theta}=\frac{|\Delta\varphi|}{2\pi}.\end{aligned}$$ The angle of advance of the nodes(a point where a non equatorial orbit intersections the equatorial plane ) per nodal period $\Delta\Omega$ [@Wilkins] is $$\begin{aligned}
\label{feqssa}
\Delta\Omega=2\pi|f-1|.\end{aligned}$$ We can find in the right of Fig. \[figure2\], compared with the case of the azimuth $\Delta\varphi$, the change of the angle of advance of the nodes $\Delta\Omega$ is continuously.
Although each orbit that we are considering has a definite non-zero value for $\Delta\varphi$, it is not guaranteed that the photon is moving in a fixed azimuthal direction at every point of its orbit, In fact, it follows from Eq.(\[jfc\]) that $\dot{\varphi}$ changes sign whenever $u^2$ reaches the value $$\begin{aligned}
\label{usb}
u_1^2&=&\frac{-2aMr^2+2\xi~Mr^2-Lr^3-a\eta+\xi\eta}{a(a\xi~r-2Mr^2-\eta)}\\\nonumber
&=&\frac{(6Mr^2-2r^3+5\eta)r^2}{a^2(2r^2(M+r)-\eta)}.\end{aligned}$$ We define the value $r$ of satisfying $\dot{\varphi}=0$ as $r_{\dot{\varphi}}$ and the corresponding angular momentum as $\xi_{\dot{\varphi}}$[@teo]. Note that when $r_3<r<r_{\dot{\varphi}}$ (corresponding to $\xi_{{\dot{\varphi}}}<\xi<0$), orbits with these parameters would therefore not be moving in a fixed azimuthal direction. An example of such an orbit will also be given in the following section. To compared with the result about the azimuth $\Delta\varphi$ and the angle of advance of the nodes $\Delta\Omega$ in the extreme Kerr black hole[@teo], we list the value of the azimuth $\Delta\varphi$ and the angle of advance of the nodes $\Delta\Omega$ with the given initial angular momentum $\xi$ in deformed Kerr black hole in Table. \[table1\]. We find that for the given initial angular momentum $\xi$, the presence of the deformation parameter $\eta$ decrease the value of azimuth $\Delta\varphi$ and the angle of advance of the nodes $\Delta\Omega$.

Examples of Selected Spherical Photon Orbit Around the deformed Kerr black hole
================================================================================
In this section, we shall present explicit examples of spherical photon orbits around the deformed Kerr black hole. In Ref[@teo], two prograde($\xi>0$ and $r_1<r<r_3$) and four retrograde($\xi<0$ and $r_3\leq~r<r_2$) spherical photon orbits around extreme Kerr black hole was plotted out, including two special case: a zero-angular momentum($r=r_3$) photon orbit and one orbit at initial radius at $r=r_{\dot{\varphi}}$ where $\dot{\varphi}=0$. To compared with the result of the extreme Kerr black hole, we also plot the spherical photon orbits around the deformed Kerr black hole($a=M$). These orbits can only be obtained numerically, by integrating the first-order differential of Hamiltonian formulation.
Firstly, we plot the same Teo[@teo]’s examples of the three-dimensional($x-y-z$) spherical photon orbit around the extreme Kerr black hole at the initial angular momentum $\xi=0, -1, -2, -6, 1, 1.999$, respectively. Besides the three-dimensional spherical photon orbit in cartesian coordinates, We also plot the projective plane of $x-y$ and $x-z$ , $\theta-\varphi$ of the spherical photon orbit around the extreme Kerr black hole to more vividly illustrate the properties of periodic latitudinal oscillations. This six examples of the spherical photon orbit is shown in Figs. \[figure3\] and \[figure4\]. Notice that the periodic motion is mainly reflected on the $x-y$ projective plane. From this pictures, we get the following interesting properties of the orbits :(1) The $x-y$ plane orbit of the zero-angular momentum($r=r_3=1+\sqrt{2}$ and $\xi=0$) looks like four-leaf colliding in the center. (2) The $x-y$ plane orbit with initial value ($r=r_{\dot{\varphi}}=3$ and $\xi=-2$), where $\dot{\varphi}$ changes sign, is Periodic cuspy orbits. The photon is moving vertically whenever it is at the equator(see the correspondent $x-z$ plane). This behavior can be understood from the Lense Thirring effect: the dragging of inertial frames is strongest at the equator, and in this case, it precisely cancels out the retrograde motion of the photon. Away from the equator, the dragging becomes weaker and so the orbit regains its retrograde character[@teo]. (3) The $x-y$ plane orbit with the initial value ($r=1+\sqrt{3}$ and $\xi=-1$) is Trochoidlike trajectory. This photon orbits do not have a fixed azimuthal direction. (4) The $x-y$ plane orbit with the initial value ($r=1+2\sqrt{2}$ and $\xi=-6$) looks like a pancake around by sixteen stripes. (5) The $x-y$ plane orbit with the initial value ($r=2$ and $\xi=1$) looks like precession of circles. (6) The plane orbit with the initial value $r=1.0316$ and $\xi=1.999$ is one latitudinal oscillation and its $x-y$ plane orbit is spiral circle and a helical pattern. (7) The value of $\theta$ is periodic oscillated with the change of $\varphi$ for all of this spherical photon orbits.
To compared the spherical photon orbit around the deformed Kerr black hole with the case of the extreme Kerr black hole[@teo], we also plot six example of the projective $x-y$ plane of the spherical photon orbits around the deformed Kerr black hole in Figs. \[fig1\],\[fig2\],\[fig3\],\[fig4\],\[fig5\] and \[fig6\]. Especially, when the deformation parameter take the value $\eta=0.5,1,2,3,4$, the shape and periodicity of latitudinal oscillating orbit is great different from the case of Kerr black hole and exhibit qualitatively different behavior for the given initial angular momentum $\xi=0, \xi_{\dot{\varphi}},-1, -6,1, 1.999$, respectively. The illustrations of these examples manifest that spherical photon orbits around the deformed Kerr black hole have a variety of interesting behavior that are absent in circular orbits. These examples, in principle, may provide a possibility to test how astronomical black holes with the deformation parameter $\eta$ deviate from the Kerr black hole.
summary
=======
In this paper, we have studied the spherical photon orbits around the deformed Kerr black hole. The change in the azimuth $\Delta\varphi$ and the angle of dragging of nodes per revolution $\Delta\Omega $ of a latitudinal oscillated orbit is calculated analytically. Besides the three-dimensional spherical photon orbit in Cartesian coordinates, we plot the projective plane of the three-dimensional orbit and the $\theta-\varphi$ plane of the spherical photon orbit around the extreme Kerr black hole to more vividly illustrate the properties of periodic latitudinal oscillations. This spherical photon orbits shown in Figs. \[figure3\] and \[figure4\] are latitudinal oscillations and periodicity. Finally, we also illustrate different behavior with six representative examples of such orbits around deformed Kerr black hole to compared with the case of Kerr black hole in Figs. \[fig1\], \[fig2\], \[fig3\], \[fig4\], \[fig5\] and \[fig6\], including two special case: a zero-angular momentum($r=r_3$) photon orbit and one orbit at initial radius at $r=r_{\dot{\varphi}}$ where $\dot{\varphi}=0$. As we have seen, these orbits exhibit a variety of interesting behavior that are absent in circular orbits.

This invention is concerned primarily with crop roll forming machines. Specifically it is concerned with such apparatus which improve the core formation of crop material rolls and collect crop material particles lost from the crop package or loose crop material during the roll formation process and recycle those particles back into the roll forming region for inclusion within the completed roll package.
Historically it has been the custom to harvest forage crops by moving the crops, letting them dry in the field, forming the dried crop material into windows and passing a hay-baling machine over and along those windrows to form the crop material into rectangular bales. Recent practice has shown that the formation of crop materials into large compact rolls, rather than rectangular bales as formerly done, permitted the crop material to be deposited in roll form and left in fields for extended periods of time since the rolled material tends to provide a self-shedding protective covering from inclement weather. The ability to leave these rolled bales in fields thus obviated the additional steps of gathering the rectangular bales and transporting them to a storage area protected from the elements.
Several methods for forming compact rolls of crop material have evolved through the years. In one of these methods, a machine rolls a swath or windrow of crop material along the ground until a roll of desired size is obtained. Examples of machines utilizing this principle are shown in prior U.S. Pat. No. 3,110,145, dated Nov. 12, 1963. Another similar machine comprises the subject matter of prior U.S. Pat. No. 3,650,100, dated Mar. 21, 1972. One of the principal difficulties in using this method of forming rolls of crop material is that a certain amount of the material remains upon the ground without being included in the roll. Furthermore, dirt, clods of earth, stones and the like can also be picked up by the roll and included therein. This is undesirable under certain circumstances.
A later, and more successful, method of forming crop rolls comprises a machine in which a swath or windrow of material is picked up from the field and directed onto a lower conveyor. This conveyor transports the material to a roll forming region where an upper apron or flight of belts, usually positioned above and adjacent the conveyor, moves in a suitable direction to rotate the crop material with which it contacts. It has been a continuing problem for this type of roll forming machine to obtain an easily started compact roll core. Similarly, the loss of crop particles from this type of machine has been a lingering concern. Variations of this type of crop roll forming machine are illustrated in U.S. Pat. No. 3,859,909 to Mast, dated Jan. 14, 1975 and U.S. Pat. No. 3,722,197 dated Mar. 27, 1973. An improvement of the former type of machine as shown in prior U.S. Pat. No. 3,866,531 to Todd, dated Feb. 18, 1975, attempted to solve these problems through the use of leaf springs.
The increasing popularity of crop roll forming machines has seen their use broaden from rolling wintering forage for livestock to rolling high protein crops, such as alfalfa, for dairy livestock where the amount of crop material loss is critical. In this latter area especially, interest in the amount of high nutrient crop material lost during roll formation has intensified.
Additionally, crop roll forming machines have been used in a wider range of crop materials, thus presenting varying core formation problems peculiar to each type of crop. Roll forming machines of the type taught in Todd with leaf springs have proven extremely effective in virtually all types of crops. However, minor difficulties have been experienced with some crops that are short and extremely dry and brittle. Since the leaf springs are motionless they occasionally form a dead area where these extremely short, dry, and brittle crops accumulate since the crops are too brittle to withstand being raised through the vertical distance required for them to come to contact with the live, motion-imparting bale forming means. Such brittle crops occasionally will continue to build up until the roll forming machine becomes less efficient. A similar core forming problem can occur in this type of machine when used in loosely packed, low windrows. Such conditions will delay the formation of a core for the rolled crop material since there will be insufficient crop material being fed by the pickup means onto the floor and transported back to the leaf springs to be forced up and over the leaf springs into contact with the live bale forming means. Crop material, in this instance, will remain on the leaf springs until sufficient quantities of material are fed back to force the material up and over the leaf springs into contact with the bale forming means.
The foregoing problems are solved in the design of the machine comprising the present invention by substantially decreasing the amount of crop material lost during the roll formation process and by allowing the usage of the roll forming machine in a wider range of crops, such as corn, maize stubs and hay, with improved core formation.

With his staff and chosen successor flanked behind him, Los Angeles City Councilman Bill Rosendahl in a voice whittled to a rasp told his City Hall colleagues Tuesday that he would beat the cancer forcing his retirement and would return to national public affairs television.
Rosendahl, 67, opened his nearly 20-minute announcement at the regular City Council meeting downtown by relaying an upbeat update on his condition. Rosendahl said he was diagnosed with stage-four cancer in the pelvic area July 20 and was not given much of a chance. His oncologist’s phone call Monday night gave him hope, he said, with news that recent tests had come back positive and her pronouncement that he was on the way to recovery.
Rosendahl has represented the 11th Council District, which includes Venice, since 2005.
In a wide-ranging address, Rosendahl said he had recruited Los Angeles multibillionaire Patrick Soon-Shiong to help lure two new National Football League teams to the proposed downtown stadium in order to create more jobs and would work on the project during his last eight months in office. Rosendahl, a Vietnam War veteran, donned an American Legion hat and said he also would work to find more housing for veterans. He also vowed to keep up the fight to close Santa Monica Airport.
As for Venice, Rosendahl said he wanted to see the zip line project installed on Venice Beach to keep beach bathrooms clean as part of a public-private partnership. He also said a project was in the works to provide 20 transitional housing units for the homeless on 3rd Avenue near Rose Avenue and that a major developer was embarking on a 124-unit complex mostly for poor senior citizens that also would provide housing for 30 to 50 homeless people with services. About 100 people also have participated in a program administered by People Assisting the Homeless to move the homeless living in campers to transitional housing, Rosendahl said.
“When I’m said and done, as I work through my last eight months, I hope to have roughly 200 people in permanent housing and supportive services that would not be there in Venice,” Rosendahl said.
He also lauded the Los Angeles Police Department for reducing gang and violent crime in Venice.
“I’m just very pleased that the good Lord is bringing me to a better position of strength, so I can take the next eight months and not only finish the term, but do meaningful things that are at the deepest of my heart,” Rosendahl said.
Rosendahl, who will retire next June 30 at the end of his term, said he wanted to seek a third term to help guide younger council members and any newcomers. Eight of the council’s 15 seats (3-year term and nearly $180,000 annual salary) will be contested in a March 5 primary election, followed by a May 21 general election.
“I want him to win and I want him to win big,” Rosendahl said Tuesday during a press conference after his announcement.
Bonin, 45, announced his campaign Tuesday and launched a Web site that showed an early endorsement from City Council President Herb Wesson and a union representing hotel workers. His campaign co-chairs are former 14-year Westside state legislator Sheila Kuehl and Steve Soboroff, former CEO of Playa Vista and a principle behind the project to bring the Space Shuttle Endeavour to Los Angeles.
Bonin, who lived in Venice for 16 years before moving to Mar Vista two years ago, said Tuesday outside City Hall that he and Rosendahl started working together during a 2003 meeting at the Firehouse Restaurant in Venice. They both shared similar stances during that meeting on improving mass transit, favoring modernization over expansion of Los Angeles International Airport, a passion for improving the homelessness problem, creating affordable housing and for providing critical neighborhood services, Bonin said.
“We’re on the same page with all the major issues and sort of philosophically inline with how you do government in a way that benefits the constituents of the city and the district,” Bonin said.
Bonin, who moved to Los Angeles in the early 1990s and was a reporter with the Wave newspaper in Compton, said he was undaunted by the city’s fiscal mess and looming renegotiations with city unions.
“I’m looking forward to continue to work in every neighborhood in the district and meet as many people as possible,” Bonin said. “I love the city of Los Angeles. I think this is a city with unparalleled talent and resources and energy and creativity. And, I think the 11th District is the epicenter of all that.”
Rosendahl in his final remarks before the council thanked his staff and said that he would be back with a progressive “Bobby Kennedy-era” public affairs television show. In a 2003 interview with Television Week, Rosendahl said he quit grad school to work for Kennedy’s campaign and was in the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles in June 1968 when Kennedy was assassinated.
Rosendahl, who has been moving with the aid of a walker, said afterward that he wanted to create public affairs programming to inform the country on critical issues and to make some money to buy houses in Los Angeles that he will convert into low-income housing.
He said that his chemotherapy will continue until it is no longer needed and it’s been working.
“I want to get back to the date I want to die, which happens to be when I’m 96, not 68,” Rosendahl said.

Q:
Convert from and to messagepack
So I'm trying to get the string representation of a JSON message in Golang. I just want to receive the messagepack encoded JSON, modify some values and send it back.
I haven't found an easy way to do it. Most of the times, I can't know in advance what is the structure of the JSON (apart from having JSON structure), so want I want to do is to receive the binary message. Decode it as a JSON, print it as a string to the standard output, modify the content, convert it to MessagePack again and send it back.
I've been looking at these two packages, but I don't know how to properly use them for a simple task like that:
https://godoc.org/github.com/vmihailenco/msgpack
https://godoc.org/github.com/ugorji/go/codec
So I will receive something like this:
DF 00 00 00 01 A7 6D 65 73 73 61 67 65 A3 48 69 21
I want to print this:
{"message": "Hi!"}
Modify the "Hi!":
{"message": "Hello Sir!"}
Send it as messagepack:
DF 00 00 00 01 A7 6D 65 73 73 61 67 65 AA 48 65 6C 6C 6F 20 53 69 72 21
Current Python code I'm trying to port to Golang:
def decode_msgpack(jsonData):
packedStuff = 0
for key in jsonData.keys():
if type(jsonData[key]) is bytes:
packedStuff += 1
try:
jsonData[key] = umsgpack.unpackb(jsonData[key])
except umsgpack.InvalidStringException:
try:
jsonData[key] = umsgpack.unpackb(jsonData[key], allow_invalid_utf8=True)
except umsgpack.InsufficientDataException:
print("[!] InsufficientDataException")
jsonData[key] = base64.b64encode(jsonData[key]).decode('utf-8')
else:
jsonData[key] = base64.b64encode(jsonData[key]).decode('utf-8')
if packedStuff > 0:
return decode_msgpack(jsonData)
else:
return jsonData
A:
Using the codec library and assuming that {"message": "Hi"} is a map, the code would look something like this.
package main
import (
"fmt"
"github.com/ugorji/go/codec"
)
func main() {
var data []byte
original := map[string]string{"message": "Hi!"}
enc := codec.NewEncoderBytes(&data, new(codec.MsgpackHandle))
if err := enc.Encode(&original); err != nil {
panic(err)
}
fmt.Printf("Encoded: ")
for _, b := range data {
fmt.Printf("%X ", b)
}
fmt.Printf("\n")
decoded := make(map[string]string)
dec := codec.NewDecoderBytes(data, new(codec.MsgpackHandle))
if err := dec.Decode(&decoded); err != nil {
panic(err)
}
fmt.Printf("Decoded: %v\n", decoded)
decoded["message"] = "Hello Sir!"
/* reinitialize the encoder */
enc = codec.NewEncoderBytes(&data, new(codec.MsgpackHandle))
if err := enc.Encode(&decoded); err != nil {
panic(err)
}
fmt.Printf("Encoded: ")
for _, b := range data {
fmt.Printf("%X ", b)
}
fmt.Printf("\n")
}
That said, if you get {"message": "Hi"} as a JSON string, you can use codec to decode the JSON into a map, update the map and then re-encode it as msgpack.

Soy el Mismo (Prince Royce album)
Soy el Mismo (English: "I'm the Same") is the third studio album by American singer Prince Royce. The album was released on October 8, 2013 by Sony Music Latin and became Royce's third number-one on the Billboard Top Latin Albums chart in the United States. With Soy el Mismo, Royce also reached a career-best peak of number 14 on the US Billboard 200.
The album was preceded by the release of its lead single, "Darte un Beso", on July 15, 2013. The single became Royce's fourth to reach number-one on the Billboard Hot Latin Songs chart in the United States. "Darte un Beso" also reached number-one on multiple Latin music sub-charts in the US and was certified 3× Platinum (Latin) by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). Four other singles were released to promote the album between 2014 and 2015: "Te Robaré", "Nada", the title track, and "Solita". The track "Te Regalo el Mar" was made available as an instant digital download with the iTunes Store pre-order of the album.
At the Latin Grammy Awards of 2014, the album received a nomination for Best Contemporary Tropical Album, Royce's second career nomination in the category. Royce was then nominated for three awards at the 2014 Billboard Music Awards: Top Latin Artist, Top Latin Album, and Top Latin Song for "Darte un Beso".

Q:
Json Data in int format
I am parsing json and the url is returning an integer value. (e.g. 278)
-(void) connectionDidFinishLoading: (NSURLConnection *) connection{
[UIApplication sharedApplication].networkActivityIndicatorVisible = NO;
NSString *responseString = [[NSString alloc] initWithData:jsonData encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
NSLog(@"JSON Response = %@",responseString);}
when I am printing response in NSLog, it gives out something like this
2012-09-15 18:02:02.091 Web Service[5190:f803] JSON Response = "278"
I don't want the output in quotes. I want it like
2012-09-15 18:02:02.091 Web Service[5190:f803] JSON Response = 278
how can i achieve this?
JSON
NSString *urlString = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"http://10.5.6.105/ARAPPWS/Service1/InsertEmp/name=%@,phone=%@",name.text,number.text];
NSURL *addUrl = [NSURL URLWithString:urlString];
NSURLRequest *addRequest = [NSURLRequest requestWithURL:addUrl];
(void)[NSURLConnection connectionWithRequest:addRequest delegate:self];
-(void) connection: (NSURLConnection *) connection didReceiveResponse:(NSURLResponse *)response
{
jsonData = [[NSMutableData alloc]init];

-(void) connection: (NSURLConnection *) connection didReceiveData:(NSData *)data
{
[jsonData appendData:data];
}
-(void) connectionDidFinishLoading: (NSURLConnection *) connection
{
[UIApplication sharedApplication].networkActivityIndicatorVisible = NO;
responseString = [[NSString alloc] initWithData:jsonData encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
[self performSelector:@selector(uploadEmpImg:) withObject:nil afterDelay:1];
}
Thanks in advance.
A:
You can use - [NSString integerValue] to obtain the actual numerical representation of the string:
NSLog(@"JSON response = %d", [responseString integerValue]);
Edit: the problem is that it returns a JSON fragment - strictly speaking it's not valid JSON. You can then use
[responseString substringWithRange:NSMakeRange(1, responseString.length - 2)]
to get the actual string value without the quotes and
[[responseString substringWithRange:NSMakeRange(1, responseString.length - 2)] intValue]
to get it as an integer.

BOOM: “Fact Checkers” Said Carly Fiorina Lied About PP Videos… But Look What They “Missed”
After 2016 GOP presidential candidate Carly Fiorina delivered a stunning attack against Planned Parenthood during the second primary debate this week, liberal “fact checkers” rushed to accuse her of having lied.
Their frustration lay with this challenge Fiorina issued to President Barack Obama and Democrat front-runner Hillary Clinton:
“Watch a fully formed fetus on the table, its heart beating, its legs kicking while someone says we have to keep it alive to harvest its brain.”
Advertisement - story continues below
She was referring to the series of undercover investigative videos recorded by the Center for Medical Progress that showed Planned Parenthood officials callously discussing the procurement and sale of fetal body parts.
Liberals claimed that these videos did not show what Fiorina described, but according to reporting by The Federalist, they did.
Specifically, the seventh video showed a picture of a “fully formed fetus on the table, its heart beating,” as Holly O’Donnell, a former organ harvester for a Planned Parenthood affiliate, discussed how she once had to retrieve a brain from a baby whose heart was still beating.
The graphic video series also showed Planned Parenthood officials combing through the body of a recently aborted young boy, technicians lifting the hand of an aborted child and much, much more.
Advertisement - story continues below
And yet liberal charlatans at CNN, The Washington Post and Vox, among other places, continue to claim that Fiorina lied, with one particularly nasty blogger having accused her statement of being “totally made up.”
This foolhardiness from liberals proves one of two things: Either liberals cannot differentiate between fact and fiction, or they’re just a whole lot better at spreading lies than they are at checking facts.

Modulation of the transcriptional response of innate immune and RNAi genes upon exposure to dsRNA and LPS in silkmoth-derived Bm5 cells overexpressing BmToll9-1 receptor.
Injection or feeding of dsRNA is commonly used to induce specific gene silencing by RNAi in insects but very little research has been carried out to investigate non-specific effects on gene expression of dsRNA as pathogen-associated molecular pattern (PAMP). This study focuses on the potential role of the BmToll9-1 receptor to modulate the transcriptional response of innate immune and RNAi genes to dsRNA and lipopolysaccharide (LPS), which was used for comparison. To study this role, we took advantage of the silkmoth-derived Bm5 cell line, which does not express BmToll9-1 endogenously, and engineered a transformed cell line that permanently expresses BmToll9-1. Quantitative mRNA expression studies showed that BmToll9-1 can significantly alter the transcriptional response to dsRNA and LPS: (1) BmToll9-1 promotes the transcriptional response of Dicer2, encoding a key component of the RNAi machinery, and, to a lesser extent, that of transcription factors in the Jak-STAT and Toll pathways; and (2) BmToll9-1 represses the transcriptional induction of the IMD and Jak-STAT pathway genes, as well as the antimicrobial peptide (AMP) effector genes, by LPS. Thus, BmToll9-1 was identified as a modulator of innate immune and RNAi machinery gene expression that could be related to its preferential expression in the larval gut, the major barrier of pathogen entry. While BmToll9-1 was found to modulate RNAi-related gene expression, a reporter-based RNAi assay established no evidence for a direct interaction of BmToll9-1 with the intracellular RNAi machinery.

What i want is to keep put all the strings under each other and copy the value in front of each line , in front of each string in that line
An expected output should like this
output <- structure(list(V1 = structure(c(1L, 18L, 20L, 2L, 19L, 19L, 10L,
3L, 17L, 7L, 11L, 9L, 8L, 4L, 5L, 13L, 12L, 15L, 14L, 16L, 6L

"V2", "V3", "V4"), class = "data.frame", row.names = c(NA, -21L
))
For example, if we look at df1 first line, it looks like this
A0A061ACH4;Q95Q10;Q9U1W6 1 67 7
Then I split the strings after ; and put them under each other and copy the values in front of them. so for the first line of the df1, I will have
A0A061ACH4 1 67 7
Q95Q10 1 67 7
Q9U1W6 1 67 7
A:
Here is a "base" way.
# for each line...
out <- do.call(rbind, apply(df1, MARGIN = 1, FUN = function(x) {
# split by ; and...
do.call(rbind, sapply(unlist(strsplit(x[1], ";")), FUN = function(y, y2) {
# ... append the rest of the columns to individual element
c(y, y2)

Kardinia Park would get a new 14,000-seat grandstand as part of a $230-million Andrews Government election pledge to upgrade Geelong's home of AFL, as well as the city's performing arts centre.
Key points: Labor is hoping to wrest the seat of South Barwon from the Liberal Party
Labor is hoping to wrest the seat of South Barwon from the Liberal Party It says the upgrade will allow Kardinia Park to host more major events and women's sport
It says the upgrade will allow Kardinia Park to host more major events and women's sport Opposition Leader Matthew Guy says he will leave the AFL grand final eve public holiday in place if elected
Premier Daniel Andrews visited Geelong to announce $102 million for upgrades to Kardinia Park, which would increase the stadium's capacity to 40,000, by replacing the Ford Stand and Ablett Terrace with a new two-tier northern stand.
The stadium's current capacity is 36,000.
"This is a facility that is much more than footy — it's about entertainment, it's about other sports," Mr Andrews said.
"It's also about the community using for conferencing, for conventions, for all sorts of different activities."
Under the plan, a new northern entry plaza would be built for patrons entering from Geelong's city centre and the South Geelong train station, and the existing Geelong Cricket Club rooms will be replaced with new facilities.
The redevelopment would also include new media and loading facilities with better access to the pitch to allow the delivery of drop-in pitches.
Cricket Australia welcomed the plans.
"With the stage-five development of the ground, we'll see seating behind the bowlers' arm — a very important part of the ground from a cricket viewing perspective," Cricket Australia chief executive James Sutherland said.
New unisex changerooms would be built as part of the redevelopment, which the Government says will allow more professional women's sport to be played in Geelong.
Work would start after the International Cricket Council World T20 matches being held at Kardinia Park in 2020, with construction expected to finish in 2022.
The Government says the project would create about 300 jobs, and would allow the stadium to host major concerts and family events.
Michael Brown from the Kardinia Park Stadium Trust said up to 10 major events could be staged at the venue each year.
"There's no reason the Elton Johns of the world should not be considering our stadium when they next tour regional Australia," he said.

Labor is also promising to complete the third and final stage of the Geelong Performing Arts Centre's redevelopment at a cost of $128 million.
This would include a 500-seat drama theatre, 250-seat courtyard theatre, another smaller performance space, an outdoor atrium, more dining options, an upgraded box office and refurbished back-of-house and administration facilities.
The project would cover about two thirds of the site, with most of the work focussing on the Little Malop Street side of the building.
Work on the arts centre would start in 2020 and be completed by 2023.
The Government says that project would create about 600 construction jobs and more than 300 ongoing local jobs in the tourism and service industries.
Work is currently underway on the on the $38.5-million second stage of the centre's redevelopment, including a new foyer, bar area and four rehearsal studios.
"This is all about providing the best facilities so that we can have more shows and a more diverse program of events," Mr Andrews said.
"We will have, when this work is finished, not only the best stadium in regional Australia but the best performing arts centre anywhere in regional Australia as well."
Labor will be hoping the announcement helps its chances of wresting the seat of South Barwon from Liberal MP Andrew Katos, who holds it on a margin of less than 3 per cent.
The seat, which includes areas south and west of Geelong's city centre including Highton, Moriac, Waurn Ponds and Torquay, was held by Labor from 2002 to 2010.
Its candidate is former federal MP Darren Cheeseman.
Labor will also be seeking to strengthen its hold on the seats of Bellarine, which Police Minister Lisa Neville holds on a margin of 4.8 per cent, and Geelong, which Christine Couzens holds on a margin of 6 per cent.

Guy drops opposition to holiday
The pitch for football fan votes comes as Opposition Leader Matthew Guy ends the Coalition's three-year criticism of Victoria's grand final eve public holiday.
The Opposition and business groups have consistently attacked the holiday since was introduced by the Andrews Government in 2015.
In 2016, Mr Guy said that the grand final eve holiday was not something his team was "looking at keeping" if elected.
"It has got a lot of small businesses and their families offside … and [is] losing a lot of money," he said at the time.
But Mr Guy told the Herald Sun that the holiday would remain if he won the election.
"We didn't originally support it but we accept it's now part of the calendar," he said.
"I don't think Victorians want public holidays to be politicised so we will leave the grand final holiday as it is."
In 2015, a Government-commissioned report by PriceWaterhouseCoopers found that the holiday would cost the Victorian economy up to $852 million a year in lost production.
