\section{Introduction}
\setcounter{equation}{0}\hfill$\mbox{}$\vspace{-1.5em}

Hermann Weyl \cite{1} was the first {}to think about
gravitational field
equations of higher than second order. 1951 Buchdahl \cite{2}
gave a general
method for deriving the field equation from a Lagrangian,
written as an
arbitrary invariant of the curvature tensor and its covariant
derivatives up
{}to an arbitrarily high order. He studied the example
$R\square R$. $\square$
denotes the D'Alembertian. This example leads {}to a field
equation of sixth
order. Other generalisations of the Lagrangian are $R^k$,
$R^k\square R$,
\cite{2.5}, $R\square^k R$ and $R\frac{1}{1-\square}R$. The
example $R+aR^2+b
R\square R$ correspondents for finely tuned initial conditions
{}to a cosmological
solution with double inflation. The attempt {}to find more
typical cosmological
solutions with double inflations led {}to $R^k\square R$
\cite{3}, \cite{4}.
This Lagrangian gives unfortunately a theory with unstable
weak field
behaviour. The effort {}to connect the gravitation theory with
quantum theory
leads {}to studies about the Lagrangian
$R\frac{1}{1-\square}R$, \cite{5}. This
Lagrangian can be approximat at the $k$-th step by the sum
\be									{11}
\sum_{i=0}^k R \square^i R~.
\end{equation}
This gives a $2k+4$-th order field equation. The Lagrangian
$c_0R+c_1R\square
R+c_2R\square\square R$ is discussed in \cite{6}. In this
paper we will deduce
the stability properties of the de Sitter solution for $R^k$,
$R\square^kR$
and $\sum\limits_{i=0}^kc_iR\square^iR$.

\section{The field equation}
\setcounter{equation}{0}\hfill$\mbox{}$\vspace{-1.5em}

The Lagrangian $L=F(R,\square R,\ldots,{\square}^k R)$ leads
{}to a field
equation of $4k+4$-th
\pagebreak
order in general:
\beq									  {21}
0 & = & GR^{ij} - \frac{1}{2} Fg^{ij} - G^{;ij} + g^{ij}\square G +
\nonumber\\
  &   & \hspace{2cm} + \sum_{A=1}^k\frac{1}{2} g^{ij}
		       \li[F_A(\square^{A-1}R)^{;k}\re]_{;k}
                     - F_A^{;(i}(\square^{A-1}R)^{;j)}~.
\end{eqnarray}
The abbreviations are:
\be									  {22}
F_A  :=  \sum_{j=A}^k \square^{j-A}\frac{\partial F}{\partial\square^jR}
\end{equation}
and
\be									  {23}
G  :=  F_0~.
\end{equation}
The operator $\square$ denotes the D'Alembertian, ``," the
partial derivation and
``;" the covariant derivation. For the $D$-dimensional $(D=n+1
\ge 2)$ de
Sitter space-time with ($H\neq 0$) we use
\be									  {24}
ds^2  =  dt^2 - e^{2Ht}\sum_{i=1}^n (dx^i)^2.
\end{equation}
The relation between $H$ and $R$ is
\be									{24.5}
R=-n(n+1)H^2.
\end{equation}
We restrict $R$ {}to the interval $R<0$ subsequently. Other
important relations
are
\be									  {25}
R^{ij}  =  \frac{R}{n+1}g^{ij}
\end{equation}
and
\be									  {26}
\square^k R  =  0 \qmbox{for} k>0~.
\end{equation}
We get the field equation:
\beq									  {27}
0 & = & GR^{ij} - \frac{1}{2} Fg^{ij} \nonumber\\
  & = & g^{ij}\li(\frac{1}{n+1}RG - \frac{1}{2} F\re)
\end{eqnarray}
for the de Sitter space-time.

If we choose the Lagrangian $(-R)^u$ with $u\in{\Bbb R}$ the
$D$-dimensional de
Sitter space-time satisfies the field equation iff
$u=\frac{n+1}{2}=\frac{D}{2}$.

An other important Lagrangian is $R\square^k R$ for $k>0$. For
this we get
\be									  {28}
F  =  R \square^k R~,\qquad G  =  2 \square^k R
\end{equation}
and the solubility condition
\be									  {29}
R \square^k R  =  \frac{u}{n+1} R \square^k R
\end{equation}
for the field equation. It is automatically satisfied because
of equation
\rfg{26}

The $D$-dimensional ($D>2$) de Sitter space-time is an exact
solution of the
field equation following from the Lagrangian $R\square^k R$
iff $D\neq4$ and
$k>0$.

\section{The attractor property of the de Sitter space-time}
\setcounter{equation}{0}\hfill$\mbox{}$\vspace{-1.5em}

We will examine the attractor property of the de Sitter
space-time in the set
of the spatially flat Friedmann-Robertson-Walker model (FRW
model). We use the
metric
\be									  {31}
ds^2  =  dt^2 - e^{2\alpha(t)} \sum_{i=1}^n (dx^i)^2
\end{equation}
for the spatial flat FRW model. For $\alpha(t)=Ht$, $H>0$ we get
the de Sitter
space-time metric. {}to find the dynamically behaviour in the
neighbourhood of
the de Sitter space-time we make the ansatz
\be									  {32}
\dot\alpha(t)  =  H + \beta(t)
\end{equation}
for the linearisation of the field equation. This is
justified, because the
field equation does not depend on $\alpha$ itself, but on its
derivatives only.

We say, the de Sitter space-time is an attractor solution of
the differential
equation if the solutions $\alpha(t)$ of the around the de Sitter
space-time
linearized differential equation satisfies
\be									  {33}
\lim_{t\to\infty}\frac{\alpha(t)}{t}  =  \widetilde H  =
{\rm const}~.
\end{equation}
It is enough {}to discuss the special de Sitter space-time
with $H=1$, because
homothetic and coordinate transformations transfer de Sitter
space-time of the
same dimension into each other.

\section{The Lagrangian F=($-$R)${\bf^u}$}
\setcounter{equation}{0}\hfill$\mbox{}$\vspace{-1.5em}

We will examine the attractor property of the de Sitter
space-time in the set
of the FRW models for the Lagrangian $(-R)^u$ with
$2u=D=n+1>2$. From this
Lagrangian follows
\be									  {41}
F_A  =  0
\end{equation}
and
\be									  {42}
G  =  -u(-R)~.
\end{equation}
We get the field equation
\be									  {43}
0  =  -u(-R)^{u-1}R^{ij} - \frac{1}{2} g^{ij}(-R)^u +
u\li[(-R)^{u-1}\re]^{;ij}
      - g^{ij}u\square \li[(-R)^{u-1}\re] ~.
\end{equation}
It is enough {}to examine the $00$-component of the field
equation, because all
the other components are fulfilled, if the $00$-component is
fulfilled. We
make the ansatz
\be									  {44}
\dot\alpha(t)  =  1 + \beta(t)
\end{equation}
and get
\beq									  {45}
R^{00} & = & -n\dot\beta - 2n\beta - n \nonumber\\
R      & = & -2n\dot\beta -2(n^2 + n)\beta - (n^2 + n) \\
(-R)^m & = & 2nm(n^2 + n)^{m-1}\dot\beta + 2m(n^2 + n)^m\beta +
(n^2 + n)^m~.\nonumber
\end{eqnarray}
It follows the field equation
\beq									  {46}
0 & = & -2n^2u(u + 1)(n^2 + n)^{u-2}\ddot\beta
        - 2n^3u(u-1)(n^2 + n){u-2}\dot\beta + \nonumber\\
  &   & + nu(2u - n - 1)(n^2 + n)^{u-1}\beta + \li(nu -
\frac{1}{2}(n^2 +n)\re)
        (n^2 + n)^{u-1}.
\end{eqnarray}
Using the condition $2u=n+1$ we get
\be									  {47}
0  =  \ddot\beta + n\dot\beta~.
\end{equation}
All solutions of the linearized field equation are
\be									  {48}
\beta(t)  =  c_1 + c_2e^{-nt}~.
\end{equation}
It follows
\be									  {49}
\alpha(t)  =  t + \tilde c_1t + \tilde c_2e^{-nt} + \tilde c_3
\end{equation}
and
\be									 {410}
\lim_{t\to\infty}\frac{\alpha(t)}{t}  =  1+\tilde c_1~.
\end{equation}
The $D$-dimensional de Sitter space-time is for the Lagrangian
$F=(-R)^{\frac{D}{2}}$ an attractor solution.

\section{The Lagrangian F=R${\bf\square^k}$R}
\setcounter{equation}{0}\hfill$\mbox{}$\vspace{-1.5em}

The Lagrangian $(-R)^{\frac{D}{2}}$ leads only {}to a field
equation of fourth
order for $D>2$. The Lagrangian $R\square^k R$ with
$k>0$ give a field equation of higher then fourth order.

For the $00$-component of the field equation we need
\be									  {51}
F_A  =  \square^{k-A}R
\end{equation}
and
\be									  {52}
G  =  2\square^kR
\end{equation}
and get
\beq									  {53}
0 & = & \square^kR\li(2R^{00}-\frac{1}{2} R\re) +
2n\dot\alpha\square^kR_{,0} +\nonumber\\
  &   & \hspace{2cm} +
\sum_{A=1}^k(\square^{k-A}R)(\square^AR)
                     -
\frac{1}{2}(\square^{k-A}R)_{,0}(\square^{A-1}R)_{,0}~.
\end{eqnarray}
The ansatz
\be									  {54}
\dot\alpha(t)  =  1 + \beta(t)
\end{equation}
leads {}to
\be									  {55}
\begin{array}{lcl}
R_{00} & = & -n\dot\beta - 2n\beta -n\\
R      & = & -2n\dot\beta - 2(n^2 + n)\beta - (n^2 + n)~,
\end{array}
\end{equation}
and
\be									  {56}
\square(\square^kR)  =  (\square^kR)_{,00} +
n(\square^kR)_{,0}~.
\end{equation}
We get the linearized field equation
\be									  {57}
\square^kR  =  (\square^kR)_{,0}~.
\end{equation}
For $k=1$ we have
\be									  {58}
0  =  \beta^{(4)} + 2n\dddot{\beta} + (n^2 - n - 1)\ddot\beta +
(-n^2 - n)\dot\beta
\end{equation}
with the characteristic polynomial
\be									  {59}
P(t)  =  x^4 + 2nx^3 + (n^2 - n - 1)x^2 + (-n^2 - n)x
\end{equation}
with the roots $x_1=1$, $x_2=0$, $x_3=-n$ and $x_4=-n-1$. We
get the
solutions
\be									 {510}
\beta(t)  =  c_1 + c_2e^t + c_3e^{-nt} + c_4e^{-(n+1)t}
\end{equation}
and
\be									 {511}
\alpha(t)  =  \tilde c_1t + \tilde c_2e^t + \tilde c_3e^{-nt}
           + \tilde c_4e^{-(n+1)t}
\end{equation}
and
\be									 {512}
\lim_{t\to\infty}\frac{\alpha(t)}{t}  =  \infty~.
\end{equation}
The $D$-dimensional de Sitter space-time is for the Lagrangian
$R\square^kR$
not an attractor solution of the field equation. The formula
\be									 {513}
0  =  (\square^{k+1}R)_{,0} - \square^{k+1}R
   =  (\square^kR_{,0} - \square^kR)_{,00} +
n((\square^kR)_{,0} - \square^kR)_{,0}
\end{equation}
for the linearized field equation for $k+1$ leads {}to the
recursive formula for
the characteristic polynomial:
\[
\mbox{characteristic polynomial for~} k+1 =
x(x+n)\cdot\mbox{characteristic polynomial for~} k~.
\]
The characteristic polynomial for k has the roots:
\be									 {514}
\begin{array}{lcll}
x_1 & = & ~~1  & \mbox{simple}\\
x_2 & = & ~~0  & \mbox{k-fold}\\
x_3 & = & -n   & \mbox{k-fold}\\
x_4 & = & -n-1 & \mbox{simple}~.\\
\end{array}
\end{equation}
We get the solutions
\be									 {515}
\beta(t)  =  S(t) + T(t)e^{-nt} + c_1e^t + c_2e^{(-n-1)t}
\end{equation}
and
\be									 {516}
\alpha(t)  =  \widetilde S(t) + \widetilde T(t)e^{-nt} + \tilde
c_1e^t
           + \tilde c_2e^{(-n-1)t}
\end{equation}
with $S,T,\widetilde T$ polynomials at most $k$-th degree and
$\widetilde S$
polynomial at most $k+1$-th degree. For the most solutions is
\be									 {517}
\lim_{t\to\infty}\frac{\alpha(t)}{t}  =  \infty
\end{equation}
fulfilled and the de Sitter space-time is not an attractor
solution for the
the field equation derived from Lagrangian $R\square^k R$.

\section{The generalized Lagrangian}
\setcounter{equation}{0}\hfill$\mbox{}$\vspace{-1.5em}

The results of the last section have shown, that for the
Lagrangian
$R\square^k R$ with $k>1$ the de Sitter space-time is not an
attractor
solution. The Lagrangian $(-R)^{\frac{D}{2}}$ gives only a
fourth order
differential equation. We will try {}to answer the following
question:\\
Are there generalized Lagrangians so, that the de Sitter
space-time is an
attractor solution of the field equation?

First we make the ansatz
\be									  {61}
F  =  \sum_{k=1}^mc_kR\square^kR \qmbox{with} c_m\neq0~.
\end{equation}
In this case is the de Sitter space-time not an attractor
solution, because
for each term is $+1$ a root of the characteristic polynomial
of the linearized
field equation.

Now we make the ansatz
\be									  {62}
F  =  c_0(-R)^{\frac{D}{2}} + \sum_{k=1}^mc_kR\square^kR
\qmbox{with} c_m\neq0~.
\end{equation}
for the generalized Lagrangian. It follows the characteristic
polynomial
\be									  {63}
P(x)  =  x(x+n)\li[c_0 + \sum_{k=1}^mc_kx^{k-1}(x + n)^{k-1}(x
- 1)(x + n - 1)\re]
\end{equation}
for the linearized field equation. The solutions $x_1=0$ and
$x_2=-n$ do not
depend on the coefficients $c_i$ of the Lagrangian. It is
sufficient {}to look
for the roots of the polynomial
\be									  {64}
P(x)  =  c_0 + \sum_{k=1}^mc_kx^{k-1}(x + n)^{k-1}(x - 1)(x +
n - 1)~.
\end{equation}
If the above polynomial only has solutions with negative real
part, then is the
de Sitter space-time an attractor solution for the field
equation. The
transformation
\be									  {65}
z  =  x^2 + nx + \frac{n^2}{4}
\end{equation}
gives
\beq									  {66}
P(x) & = & Q(z) =\nonumber\\
& = & c_0 + \sum_{k=1}^mc_k\li(z - \frac{n^2}{4}\re)^{k-1}
      \li(z - \frac{n^2}{4} - n -1\re)\nonumber\\
& = & c_0 + \sum_{k=1}^mc_k\li(\frac{n^2}{4}\re)^{k-1}
      \li(\frac{n^2}{4} - n - 1\re) +
\sum_{l=1}^{m-1}\Bigg[c_l + \sum_{k=l+1}^m
      c_k\li(-\frac{n^2}{4}\re)^{k-l-1}\cdot\nonumber\\
&   & \cdot\li[{k-1 \choose l-1}\li(-\frac{n^2}{4}\re) - {k-1
\choose l}
      \li(\frac{n^2}{4} + n + 1\re)\re]\Bigg]z^l +
c_mz^m\nonumber\\
& = & d_0 + d_1z + \ldots + d_mz^m~.
\end{eqnarray}
Now let be
\be									  {67}
\begin{array}{lcll}
a_{ll}\!\! & = & \!\!1  			& l = 0,\ldots,m\\
a_{0k}\!\! & = & \!\!\displaystyle
-\li(-\frac{n^2}{4}\re)^{k-1}
		 \li(\frac{n^2}{4}+n+1\re)	& k = 1,\ldots,m\\
a_{lk}\!\! & = &
\!\!\displaystyle\li(-\frac{n^2}{4}\re)^{k-l-1}\!\!
		 \li[{k-1 \choose l-1}\!\!\li(-\frac{n^2}{4}\re)\!\!
		 - \!\!{k-1 \choose l}\!\!\li(\frac{n^2}{4} + n +
1\re)\re]
						& l < k \le m\\
a_{kl}\!\! & = & \!\!0  			& \mbox{else}~.
\end{array}
\end{equation}
This gives the equation
\be									  {68}
\li(\begin{array}{c}
d_0 \\ \vdots \\ d_m
\end{array}\re)  =  A
\li(\begin{array}{c}
c_0 \\ \vdots \\ c_m
\end{array}\re)\qmbox{with} A \quad\mbox{regular}~.
\end{equation}
The roots of $P(x)$ have a negative real part iff the roots of
$Q(z)$ are from
the set
\be									  {69}
M :=  \li\{x+iy: x > \frac{n^2}{4} \wedge
|y|<n\sqrt{x-\frac{n^2}{4}}\re\}~.
\end{equation}
If the roots $z_k$ of the polynomial $Q(z)$ are elements of
$M$, then the
coefficients $d_k$ are determined by
\be									 {610}
Q(z)  =  \sum_{k=0}^md_kz^k  = \prod_{k=1}^m(z-z_k).
\end{equation}
The coefficients
\be									 {611}
\li(\begin{array}{c}
c_0 \\ \vdots \\ c_m
\end{array}\re)  =  A^{-1}
\li(\begin{array}{c}
d_0 \\ \vdots \\ d_m
\end{array}\re)
\end{equation}
belongs {}to a Lagrangian, that gives a field equation with a
de Sitter
attractor solution.
The above considerations have shown that for every $m$ there
exists an
example for coefficients $c_k$, so that the de Sitter
space-time is an
attractor solution for the field equation derived from the
Lagrangian
$c_0(-R)^{\frac{D}{2}} + \sum\limits_{k=1}^mc_kR\square^kR
\qmbox{with} c_m\neq0$.

Yesterday I made two SoulCollage® cards and both of them are in the Council suit. That's where the archetypes reside and those things that are larger than life. I am extremely restless right now as the academic year comes to a close; I only have four more weeks to work until I get 10 weeks off for the summer. I've been thinking too much. Doing the various kinds of art I create--and writing--and reading--makes me stop thinking so much.
This card is called "The Wise Old Man." My late spiritual director Betsy Hedberg Caprio nudged me once to really focus on the masculine in my art because I do have a tendency to create predominately feminine images. Starting with SoulCollage's "IATOW" statement, I am the one who was taught that God the father was a wise old man and that the Bible was filled with wise old men. I still carry those images, of course, but the personification of it was my dear paternal grandfather who came to live with us from when I was five until I was twelve. His death was the first one I encountered as a child. He became my best friend in so many ways and hanging out in his trailer and hearing his stories really enriched my life. I carry you in my heart forever wise old man Ed Streur.
The archetype of the fool, jester or clown plays a key role in my SoulCollage® deck and I have made several cards with this theme. I am the one who has played the fool purposely, especially in adolescence, to get people to laugh at me--and themselves. I realized my zany side early. Everyone always seemed to take most things in life so seriously and by making people laugh, I guess I hoped they wouldn't notice my imperfections. I have a good sense of humor and allow the zany side to surface with my dear old friend Rick Hammond and his late wife Orma. I am the one who adores watching stand up comedy and have to keep myself in check when life gets too serious. There is such a fine line between comedy and death.
What a great way to spend a Sunday--with Kelly Kilmer, mixed media art journaling teacher extraordinaire.
Many of you who visit here already keep art journals in your own styles, but if you've wanted to and didn't know where to start, I recommend Kelly. She was the first teacher I had in mixed media and it is great to periodically go back to the gas station and get a fill up. She's always got new "stuff" going on.
I have had the pleasure of taking classes with several different teachers during the past 10 years, but Kelly is literally in my own back yard, and I sometimes forget this. She teaches not only in California, if you check her class schedule at her blog, you may be pleasantly surprised to see that she is coming to a place near you.
Another delightful surprise today was my introduction to The Word is Art Gallery in Culver City, CA. It is a great space with lots of wonderful art on display, but owner Renee Troy also has many classes she hosts there. She had a nice space in the back of the gallery for the four of us to work today with Kelly. Sometimes intimate is nice. I went with my friend Marion who hadn't worked in art journals before, but she is hooked, I can tell.
I'm never satisfied with my work, especially when I take classes because templates, other techniques, and new pens and inks are being introduced I'm not familiar with. But, I am a good student because I am willing to go along with the program. Kelly's suggestion for this page was that we all use print in the background and one focal image. Because I am growing old myself, this is what I created today. It is very poignant for me.
So, check out Kelly Kilmer and her classes and The Word is Art Gallery. You deserve it.
Yesterday our monthly SoulCollage® group gathered to have a morning brunch and a day of creating cards to help us bring in 2013 with forethought and blessings. This is "Weloming 2013" and it's in the Committee suit. I stopped making resolutions long ago, and I no longer go out on New Years Eve, but I do use the last day of the year to write and create. I wrap things up and till the creative soil for what is ahead.
I wrote this: I am the one who enters each new year with gratitude and hope, but always with a slight sense of unrest because of the unknown.
4. Don't be attached to outcome.
But then Bolen adds regarding change, "I wonder what will happen next?"
I feel like I got just the perfect words to welcome 2013. My card really rang true for me then--and I hope a few of you might find these words inspirational as well.
This SoulCollage® card describes where I am on this journey called life right now. I could put it in the Council suit as one of the muses, but I'm putting it in Committee and calling it Trust. My secondary title would be "Feeling the Fear and Doing It Anyway."
I am the one who has throughout life had issues with trust and abandonment. Even at this august age of 74, with lots of experience under my belt, these issues raise their ugly heads when there is no logical reason to do so. I am the one who finds herself once again in a life transition. I am the one who knows that my professional part-time work is nearing its end for a variety of reasons and that I have to let go with confidence and trust. My work has given me purpose as I love it so and adore the people I work with. Also, I am the one who grew up in poverty and continue to maintain poverty consciousness in spite of being financially stable. I like to earn money, even if it is only a little bit. It falsely affirms me. I am the one who is single in late life and totally in charge of my present and my future--to the extent any of us can be that. My Higher Power protects me and keeps me safe, but I have a lot of problems remembering that. I'm the one who is feeling the fear of change when it comes, but stepping out, albeit very tentatively, into what tomorrow and next year will bring. I am also the one who has begun to realize I'm not 50 anymore and can no longer accomplish as vigorously all the things I used to. And, I am the one who knows that though life did not turn out as I had planned, it has actually turned out better than I ever expected. Paradox!
A question for this card? Please reveal to me the many options that will still be available to me whether I work professionally, as a volunteer--or simply being a writer, artist and computer nut. Remind me of all the ways I can continue to feel purposeful without employment and continue to have the oomph to show up every day in a meaningful way to myself and others.
I love the TED talks and when I got notified to check this one out, I was particularly inspired. But, then most TED presenters are amazing. Let me know what you think.

Everyday Grammar: Advanced Conditionals
This week, we are going to talk about the past unreal conditional. Past unreal conditionals are often used to express wishes about the past. They often show regret, or sad feelings about something that happened in the past. Here's an example:
If I had studied, I would have passed the test.
In this example, there is an implied wish that the speaker had studied.
A conditional sentence has two parts. The first part is the if clause: "If I had studied." The second part is the result clause: "I would have passed the test."
To form the past unreal conditional, use the past perfect in the if clause. Use had followed by a past participle verb to form the past perfect. In the result clause, use would have followed by the past participle.
Use past unreal conditionals to talk about how you would have acted differently if you had had more information. Basically, if I had known A, I would have done B. Imagine you brought chocolate for a co-worker. You didn't know it at the time, but your co-worker was diabetic. In this situation, you could say, "If I had known you were diabetic, I would not have brought chocolate."
Some Americans use the simple past in the if clause of a past unreal conditional. For example, there's an old song called, "If I knew you were coming, I'd have baked a cake." In formal speech or writing the correct form is, "If I had known you were coming, I would have baked a cake." There is often a difference between how grammar is taught and how ordinary people use it in conversation.
A conditional sentence can start with the if clause, or the result clause. In the classic American film It's a Wonderful Life, the main character George Bailey is thinking about killing himself. In a moment of sadness, George says that life would have been better if he had never been born. Listen to this dialog between George and his guardian angel, Clarence.
Clarence: So you still think killing yourself would make everyone feel happier?
George: Well I don't know. I guess you're right. I supposed it would've been better if I'd never been born at all.
Clarence: What did you say?
George: I said I wish I had never been born.
Notice how George puts the result clause first when he says, "I suppose it would have been better if I had never been born." George also shortens "would have" to "would've" and "I had" to "I'd." Native speakers often use contractions with the words "had" and "have." That means a past unreal conditional will often have two contractions in it — an extra challenge for English learners.
Sometimes speakers want to express how something that did not happen in the past has an effect in the present. For example, "If I had been born in China, I would speak Chinese." Or "If had quit university, I would not have this job." These are called mixed conditionals. In a mixed conditional, the if clause remains in the past perfect. But the result clause changes to the simple present to emphasis the effect in the present.
To emphasize a feeling of regret, add "only" to the if clause. Listen to this sad song by country singer Reba McEntire.
"If I had only known it was the last walk in the rain,
I'd keep you out for hours in the storm."
This song is an example of a mixed conditional. The if clause "If I had only known it was the last walk in the rain" is in the past perfect. But the result clause, "I'd keep you out for hours in the storm" is in the simple present. The singer is emphasizing her present feelings about something that did not happen in the past.
Past unreal conditionals are complex grammar structures. Make sure you have mastered the past perfect, the present perfect, and irregular verbs before studying advanced conditionals. For a simpler lesson on conditionals, see our previous episode of Everyday Grammar called "Introducing Conditionals."
When you are ready, a good way to practice past unreal conditionals is to ask your English-speaking friends if they have any regrets. You could ask "If you could change something about your past, what would you change?"
We'll leave you now with another song of regret by Brook Benton:
Darling if I had known I'd miss you
like I know since you've gone,
things would have been different
if only I had known
I'm Adam Brock.
And I'm Jill Robbins.

On the hunt for Vietnam's best banh mi
By Kate Springer, CNN
Updated 7:08 PM EDT, Mon September 24, 2018
Banh mi crawl: There's a banh mi stand on almost every corner in Hoi An. But which are the best of the best? Huynh Huu Phuoc -- a Hoi An local and founder of Eat Hoi An, shortlists the best buns in the city.
Kate Springer/CNN
Food for thought: If there's one thing to eat in Hoi An, I must say it's banh mi," says Huynh. "We have the best banh mi in the world."
Banh mi basics: The king of sandwiches brings together several cultural traditions all in one crispy bun, namely a golden French baguette (introduced to Vietnam by French colonists in the late 19th century) pork pâté, Chinese char siu (barbecued pork), American hamburger meat, mayonnaise, and a mix of Vietnamese herbs and chili sauces.
Phi Banh Mi: What makes this banh mi special is the roasted pork belly. "The best part of the pig is the belly, but every pig has a different flavor and taste," says Huynh. "A free-range pig will taste better -- and that's what he uses."
Madam Khanh - The Banh Mi Queen: Now in her 90s, Nguyen Thi Loc (aka Madam Khanh) set up her banh mi business in 1975 and ran it for 45 years -- nearly half her life.
Madam Khanh - The Banh Mi Queen: Though her daughter runs the show now, she often stops by in the mornings to help out. The family introduced a bigger menu -- including vegetarian, beef and fish banh mi -- plus a slightly sweet sauce and added an omelet inside.
La Banh Mi Sai Gon Tai Hoi An: Located in western Hoi An, La Banh My Sai Gon Tai Hoi An is a nostalgic stop for Huynh. "When I was a kid, I came here every day in the early morning to eat her banh mi," he recalls.
La Banh Mi Sai Gon Tai Hoi An: Born in Ho Chi Minh City, the owner of La Banh Mi Sai Gon Tai Hoi An, named Ta Thi Nghia, moved to Hoi An 20 years ago looking for new opportunities.
La Banh Mi Sai Gon Tai Hoi An: "Her banh mi is a little bit different, because it has southern tradition," says Huynh. "She uses extra fatty rolled pork belly instead of char siu and plenty of green chili for heat. She also makes her mayonnaise -- using egg, oil and yogurt for a slightly sour taste."
La Banh Mi Sai Gon Tai Hoi An: "This is the correct way to cook pâté -- really, really slow with the open fire like this," says Huynh. "There's no rush here. They let it cook nice and slowly."
La Banh Mi Sai Gon Tai Hoi An: "Her recipes are from the South, which is more influenced by the Khmer (Cambodian) culture," says Huynh. "They eat more palm sugar and add it in the cooking, so food tends to be slightly sweeter."
Banh Mi Phuong: The most famous banh mi in the world, Banh Mi Phuong sells roughly 3,000-4,000 sandwiches a day.
Banh Mi Phuong: "Seven years ago, a guy with a camera came by, ordered a bahn mi and said: 'This is the best banh mi in the world,'" says Huynh. "That was Anthony Bourdain."
Banh Mi Phuong: "The most important thing about banh mi is the bread. It has to be fresh -- crispy on the outside, soft on the inside," says Huynh. "Their location is really smart (next to the city's best bakery). Now they have a steady stream of fresh baguettes."
Banh Mi Phuong: As for the taste? The traditional-style baguettes explode with fresh ingredients, such as barbecued pork, spicy chili, a bundle of fresh herbs and yolky mayonnaise.
Banh Mi Lanh: A tiny stall near the Chua Nam Quang Tu pagoda in northeast Hoi An, Banh Mi Lanh draws a following among local residents.
Banh Mi Lanh: In business for about 30 years, the stall is run by Khuu Thi Lanh, who pumps out baguettes at lightning speed under the shade of a tin roof.
Banh Mi Lanh: "This flavor is really the most authentic in Hoi An," says Huynh. "They use the same bread as Madam Phuong's and homemade pâté, baked the traditional way in a lemongrass and shallot marinade."
Hoi An: Where to find the best banh mi
Walking through Hoi An's Old Town, in central Vietnam, the omnipresent buzz of motorbikes fills the air.
Vendors push carts overloaded with ceramic vases and bowls. A pedicab slows down to offer a ride.
A woman touts custom-made tailoring and leather bags from a store, where a lush curtain of foliage falls from the rooftop.
But I am single-minded in my mission: To find the best banh mi in Hoi An – and maybe even the world.
Banh mi basics
The king of sandwiches brings together several cultural traditions all in one crispy bun, namely a golden French baguette (introduced to Vietnam by French colonists in the late 19th century), pork pâté, Chinese char siu (barbecued pork), American hamburger meat, mayonnaise and a mix of Vietnamese herbs and chili sauces.
To assist in my quest, Huynh Huu Phuoc – a Hoi An local and founder of Eat Hoi An street food tours and cooking classes – has shortlisted a few of his top banh mi stalls and restaurants.
"If there's one thing to eat in Hoi An, I must say it's banh mi," Huynh tells CNN Travel. "We have the best banh mi in the world.
"Eating is really part of our culture – it's a fashion and a passion. You can eat banh mi all day. Breakfast, lunch, dinner, fast snack … there's no right time to eat it."
Phi Banh Mi
The owner of Phi Banh Mi uses a special roasted pork belly in his banh mi.
Huynh says the "real Hoi An" isn't in Old Town, so we hop on his motorcycle to ride northwest to Zone B.
"Locals don't really have any interest in Old Town, aside from work," he says.
"If you want to see and eat things that are authentic, you really have to go to Zone B. That's where most locals live – and that's where you will mostly see the real life."
30 of Vietnam's most beautiful places
We stop on a relatively quiet street, where he points to Phi Banh Mi: An open-air restaurant with red stools and stainless-steel tables.
"The banh mi here is created by Do Van Phi, a former chef at the Nam Hai (now the Four Seasons Nam Hai)," says Huynh. "He has so much knowledge of professional kitchens."
Prepared in a matter of seconds, the banh mi comes topped with an abundance of herbs – Vietnamese mint (which tastes like coriander), mint, spring onions, basil – and a spicy helping of homemade chili sauce.
What makes this banh mi special is the roasted pork belly. "The best part of the pig is the belly, but every pig has a different flavor and taste," says Huynh. "A free-range pig will taste better – and that's what he uses."
Phi heads to the Central market every morning to collect fresh ingredients from the best vendors. "He has really good pork belly – they always save the best for him," says Huynh.

Madam Khanh - The Banh Mi Queen
After 45 years making banh mi, Madam Khanh passed the business to her children.
A well-known brick-and-mortar restaurant, Madam Khanh is nicknamed the Banh Mi Queen for good reason.
Now in her 90s, Nguyen Thi Loc set up her banh mi business in 1975 and ran it for 45 years – nearly half her life. Though her daughter runs the show now, she often stops by in the mornings to help out.
Vietnam by planes, trains, automobiles... and then some
"Her bread is really nice and she packs each sandwich with fresh herbs and homemade mayonnaise," says Huynh.
"She also makes homemade pâté from pig liver, seasoned with crushed shallot, lemongrass, pepper, salt, tiny bit of MSG inside."
Since the second generation took over, Huynh says the banh mi have become more modern and, in some ways, more tailored for foreigners.
The most important thing about banh mi is the bread. It has to be fresh – crispy on the outside, soft on the inside.
Huynh Huu Phuoc, Eat Hoi An
The family introduced a bigger menu – including vegetarian, beef and fish banh mi – plus a slightly sweet sauce and added an omelet inside.
"The omelet is definitely not too traditional," says Huynh. "We've never done that in the past, but this is kind of a new idea and people really liked it. It's like a fancy-style baguette. But I'd say it's sweet and less spicy than the traditional."
115 Tran Cao Van, Phuong Minh An, Hoi An, Quang Nam, Vietnam
La Banh Mi Sai Gon Tai Hoi An
La Banh Mi Sai Gon is Huynh's childhood favorite.
Located in western Hoi An, La Banh Mi Sai Gon Tai Hoi An is a nostalgic stop for Huynh.
"When I was a kid, I came here every day in the early morning to eat her banh mi," he recalls.
Vietnamese food: 40 delicious dishes you'll love
Born in Ho Chi Minh City, the owner of La Banh Mi Sai Gon Tai Hoi An, named Ta Thi Nghia, moved to Hoi An 20 years ago looking for new opportunities.
She quickly found a niche, setting up a roadside banh mi stall that Hoi An residents loved. Later, she expanded to a second location that her daughter runs.
It doesn't look like much other than a stall and a few plastic stools, but the family-run operation works to extract as much flavor as possible from each ingredient.
"Her banh mi is a little bit different, because it has southern tradition," says Huynh. "She uses extra fatty rolled pork belly instead of char siu and plenty of green chili for heat. She also makes her mayonnaise – using egg, oil and yogurt for a slightly sour taste."
There's no rush here. They let (the pâté) cook nice and slowly.
But the most memorable ingredient is the pâté. Off to the right, a wood-fired oven opens to reveal flames, licking a batch of fresh pork liver pâté.
"This is the correct way to cook pâté – really, really slow with the open fire like this," says Huynh. "After it's done, they let it burn a little bit. Then they bake it up, burning it again, to make the flavor much stronger. There's no rush here. They let it cook nice and slowly."
Even though she's not cooking for foreigners, her banh mi does run a little on the sweet side. That's due to her Hoi Chi Minh City heritage.
"Her recipes are from the South, which is more influenced by the Khmer (Cambodian) culture," says Huynh. "They eat more palm sugar and add it in the cooking, so food tends to be slightly sweeter."
151 Tran Hung Dao, Hoi An, Quang Nam, Vietnam
Banh Mi Phuong
Banh Mi Phuong has a strategic location next the city's top bakery.
The most famous banh mi in the world, Banh Mi Phuong sells roughly 3,000-4,000 sandwiches per day.
"Seven years ago, a guy with a camera came by, ordered a bahn mi and said: 'This is the best banh mi in the world,'" says Huynh. "That was Anthony Bourdain. Afterwards, they got lots of international attention and became famous."
Huynh says the hype – and resulting lines out the door – are well deserved.
West Lake shrimp cakes: The one food you have to try in Hanoi
Started by Truong Thi Phuong (aka Madam Phuong)'s parents, the business "opened doors" roughly 55 years ago. They ran it for about 25 years, before passing it on to their eldest daughter.
Madam Phuong, then a teacher, was totally overwhelmed. But her boyfriend Dang Ngọc Chau – who had a highly coveted government police job at the time – quit to help her.
He became the creative force behind the operation, taking over the kitchen (then in the Central Market) and refining the recipes.
"At that time, for a young man to leave such a good job and start working in a kitchen, it was looked down upon," says Huynh. "He is really a hero of love."
After winning over local eaters, the pair moved into a brick-and-mortar restaurant. They were very strategic about the location: right next to Hoi An's best bakery.
Seven years ago, a guy with a camera came by … and said: 'This is the best banh mi in the world.' That was Anthony Bourdain.
"The most important thing about banh mi is the bread. It has to be fresh – crispy on the outside, soft on the inside," says Huynh. "Their location is really smart. Now they have a steady stream of fresh baguettes."
As for the taste? The restaurant has one of the largest menus with everything from vegetarian banh mi to bacon and beef.
In the traditional version, the baguette explodes with fresh ingredients, such as barbecued pork, spicy chili, a bundle of fresh herbs and yolky mayonnaise.
"Her husband is the brains in the kitchen," says Huynh. "He has all the recipes, shows up at 4:30 a.m. to start preparation every day. He is the heart of this place."

Banh Mi Lanh
You can find Banh Mi Lanh near the Chua Nam Quang Tu pagoda.
A tiny stall near the Chua Nam Quang Tu pagoda in northeast Hoi An, Banh Mi Lanh draws a following among local residents.
In business for about 30 years, the stall is run by Khuu Thi Lanh, who pumps out baguettes at lightning speed under the shade of a tin roof.

"This flavor is really the most authentic in Hoi An," says Huynh. "They use the same bread as Madam Phuong's and homemade pâté, baked the traditional way in a lemongrass and shallot marinade."
The baguette isn't too sweet, nor too saucy, and the bread tastes light and airy.
"The local people, when we eat a banh mi, we sit down at the stall on the stools," says Huynh.
"The first bite of a banh mi isn't ever really that good. But that second bite… mmm. That's when you start to get all the fillings, and the bread, in one bite. That's when it tastes really good."

MEP Meeting
By EAPA 17 December 2019 Geen categorie, News
EAPA News
MEP Meeting December 2019
Mr Ismail Ertug, Member of European Parliament (MEP) and member of the Transport and Tourism Committee (TRAN), hosted a Parliamentary Breakfast Debate on 5 December 2019 in the European Parliament, under the heading "A European Green Deal – Asphalt road industry's contributions to climate-neutrality and preservation of Europe's natural environment".
Participants of the debate were MEP Ismail Ertug, Mr. Iñigo Urresti, Deputy Head of Unit C.1 – Clean Technologies and Products at DG GROW, EAPA members and guests. The EAPA representation was composed by François Chaignon (President), Carsten Karcher (Secretary General), Breixo Gomez (Technical Director), Knut Johannsen (Chairman of the Technical Committee), Mats Wendel (Chairman of the Health, Safety and Environment Committee) and a group of national representatives, including Malcolm Simms, Hans Eric Thunegard, Geir Lange, Trine Leth Kølby, and Himanshu Argawal. Representatives from affiliated associations also participated in the event, such as Markus Spiegl (President Eurobitume), Anja Sörensen (Eurobitume Deutschland), Dirk Fincke (European Aggregates Association), and Christophe Nicodème (European Union Road Federation).
The event was opened by MEP Ertug, who highlighted the importance of the European Green Deal and the reduction target in emissions of up to 55% in 2030. He also mentioned that the increasing trend of emissions produced by transport sector (approximately one fifth of total EU emissions) needs to be reversed. In this sense, he strengthened that more than 70% are produced by road transport. "The more relevant, the more responsibility", stated in reference to the important role that road sector can play. Hence, he mentioned that if the EU Commission includes the good maintenance of roads in the EU Directives as a measure to increase sustainability of transport sector, the EU Parliament will support it, as current society is expecting them to take decisions in such direction.
Mr. Chaignon gave a copy of different EAPA documents to the participants, including the EAPA position paper on the use of secondary materials in asphalt and the joint EAPA-EUPAVE-FEHRL document on the impact of road maintenance in the consumption and CO2 emissions of vehicles. In addition, he also gave him a copy of the EAPA Manifesto where the challenges, benefits and proposals of asphalt industry are described to contribute to the Green Deal. Mr. Johannsen and Mr. Wendel explained the pillars of such manifesto and answered the questions of the participants.
During an almost one-hour discussion the plans of the EU Commission related to the "European Green Deal" were explained by Mr. Urresti. Further he informed about the work in the EC on a new Construction Products Regulation, a new Directive of Climate Change and series of measures towards the inclusion of green public procurement in the Member States.
During the discussions the content of the manifesto was supported by selected contributions of EAPA members until Mr. Simms summarised the main conclusions and MEP Ertug closed the meeting.


I have a geoprocessing script tool that creates two derived feature classes in the scratch folder. I need to publish this as a service that will (1) run the geoprocessing script and (2) display the results as a map service. We need to create a service definition file so we can publish to AGS running on multiple Linux servers.
When creating the service definition file, it turns out the path to the scratch folder is hard-coded into it and this breaks the result map service. When AGS (on the Linux server) tries to access the derived datasets for the map service, it fails since the "scratch folder" is no longer the scratch folder for the service but an actual hard-coded path that doesn't exist on the Linux server. I tried changing the scratch workspace to a folder that's mapped in the data store but it didn't matter - I still get an error saying it can't find the data in that same hard-coded path.
Is there any way to get around this hard-coded folder path in the service definition file?


This unique grading rod is compact like a tape measure. Simply remove the nylon-coated steel blade from the case and you have a convenient 6-1/2 foot vertical-reading leveling rod. Each case has a built-in target. When finished, just slide back into the case. It's ideal for checking a grade without having to carry a full-size rod. The Pocket Rod is ideal for foundation work, grading, swimming pools and construction photo records. The nylon-coated blade protects the graduations from moisture and wear.

There are three things that define millennials. The most obvious one is that they are the generation born between 1980 and 2000. Keeping with the obvious stuff, the second one is that they LOVE technology in all of its forms. The third one isn't a secret, really, but big companies are perhaps the only ones that have understood it and taken advantage of it – millennials are incredible spenders.
A quick Google search should bring tons of articles taking about that last characteristic and how businesses can make the most out of it. Yet, even with that widespread attention, small businesses aren't marketing to millennials at all. At least that's what a recent survey conducted by Manta has revealed. According to it, only 15% of small businesses across all industries are marketing to millennials which, of course, means that most of them are missing out on perhaps the most important consumer demographic today.
Having influential people talk good stuff about your brand, company or service isn't a new marketing strategy. We've seen actors, actresses, athletes, TV personalities and many other famous people speak on behalf of some product. The idea is obvious – the product wants to reach that famous person's fanbase and appeals to his or her influence to do so. Basically, it' trying to look cool just by hanging around the cool kids – being cool by association.
But with the Internet swooping into the marketing scene and changing everything forever, this kind of influence took an unexpected turn. Sure, famous people are still great to market product and services but the Web has empowered "regular" people to a point where they too can become influencers, albeit in the digital world. Thus, people with enough followers and leverage in social media are now being seen as key for marketing. That's what influencer marketing is all about.
Does your site still has that Flash intro you devised to wow your visitors? Does it still have all kinds of tables and fonts all over the place? There are blocks of text in all of its pages? Then perhaps, my friend, you should consider tossing it out and starting a new one. A lot has changed in the Internet in recent years – and a lot is still changing. And if you fail to adapt to the flow, you'll definitely drown.
That's why you should refresh your site once in a while to make it look modern, up to date and, of course, active. People won't spend much time on your site if it looks like it was developed in 1999 or isn't easy enough to navigate. So, if you feel like that's your case, then it's time for a major makeover. There are lots of things to consider when creating a new site for your small business but, to us, there are 3 crucial stages that will make or break your project.
Small businesses looking to get their marketing efforts in order surely have come across the harsh reality sooner rather than later – most of the time, you'll have to spend money to get your strategy going. That's what keeping many small companies back, since not many of them have their own budget exclusively for marketing. In fact, most of them surely work their campaigns with very few resources.
Money shouldn't be an obstacle on your way up, nonetheless. You can always use your brains to make up for the lack of funding. It's just a matter of putting your mind to work to come up with some ideas that can attract your audience – and keep it engaged. Can't think of any? Here are some to get you started.
We've heard a lot about marketing automation in the first half of 2015. In fact, some are calling this the year of marketing automation, marking it as THE way to go for marketers everywhere. But even with all the talk that has been making the rounds about this trend, there are lots of people that are missing it out and are now asking what the heck everybody else is talking about.
Are you among them? Don't sweat it. You still have time to catch on and reap all the benefits of marketing automation. But first things first – you have to learn the basics about it and understand how you can turn this automation in your favor. Thus, we've prepared a brief 5-question questionnaire that should solve any doubt you might have. You're welcome!


OH MAN, you guys. It's time for another BTS blog post. I bet you're excited!
A few weeks ago, I had the privilege of photographing portraits of Rebekah Beaty, in celebration of her turning 16! That's a big deal, y'all. Do you remember turning 16? I do… I had a fancy dress and everything! Everything except… a photo shoot. I thought that was a pretty rad idea to celebrate the big one-six with a photoshoot.
When I met with Rebekah, I could tell that she was a very fashionable girl. Her parents own a well-known chain of shoe stores in the area so, of course, she had a great shoe selection and a fabulous grasp of what it meant to be fashionable. When I asked Rebekah how she would describe her style, she told me that she was anywhere in between "skater-girl" style and a more elegant, girly type of style. She's my kind of girl!
I was also really excited when she told me she would be down for a more urban setting for her portraits. I've been shooting a lot of nature and country-type settings lately, so it was a welcome change of pace!
Not only is Rebekah a fashionista, but she is a musician as well. She plays the cello, which we incorporated into some of her photos, and also piano.
Rebekah also let me in on a little secret: She's a huge fan of Taco Bell… to the point that we were going to try and incorporate it into a shot or two, but the contents of her Taco Bell bag never made it quite that far.
Rebekah was great to work with. She was comfortable in front of the camera, had a great smile, and was just a lot of fun. Also, hers was the first session in a very long time where I've entertained the idea of monochrome images. I always realize after the fact when an image might look good in black and white, but for some reason as I was culling and flipping through her images, I was able to see right away which images would look beautiful converted over from color.
Take a look at this sneak peek image from Rebekah's session! Leave her some love in the comments, and keep an eye out for the rest of the finished images coming later!
Special thank you to Katie Vellman for her awesome work with Rebekah's hair and makeup and to Matthew Simmons for assisting me on this session!


Also known as the Central African Federation, the Federation of Rhodesia and Nyasaland was created between August 1st and October 23, 1953, and lasted until December 31, 1963. The federation joined the British protectorate of Northern Rhodesia (now Zambia), the colony of Southern Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe), and the protectorate of Nyasaland (now Malawi).
White European settlers in the region were perturbed about the increasing black African population but had been stopped during the first half of the twentieth century from introducing more draconian rules and laws by the British Colonial Office. The end of World War II led to increased white immigration, especially in Southern Rhodesia, and there was a worldwide need for copper which existed in quantity in Northern Rhodesia. White settler leaders and industrialists once again called for a union of the three colonies to increase their potential and harness the black workforce.
The election of the National Party in South Africa in 1948 worried the British government, which began to see federation as a potential counter to the Apartheid policies being introduced in SA. It was also seen as a potential sop to black nationalists in the region who were starting to ask for independence. However black nationalists in Nyasaland and Northern Rhodesia were worried that the white settlers of Southern Rhodesia would come to dominate any authority created for the new federation—this proved to be true, as the Federation's first appointed prime minister was Godfrey Huggins, Viscount Malvern, who had already served as PM of Southern Rhodesia for 23 years.
The British government planned for the Federation to eventually become a British dominion, and it was overseen from the start by a British assigned governor-general. The federation was an economic success, at least at the start, and there was investment in a few expensive engineering projects, such as the Kariba hydro-electric dam on the Zambezi. In addition, in comparison to South Africa, the political landscape was more liberal. Black Africans worked as junior ministers and there was an income/property-owning basis to the franchise which allowed some black Africans to vote. There was still, however, an effective white minority rule to the government of the federation, and just as the rest of Africa was expressing a desire for majority rule, nationalist movements in the federation were growing.
In 1959 Nyasaland nationalists called for action, and the resultant disturbances led to the authorities declaring a state of emergency. Nationalist leaders, including Dr. Hastings Kamuzu Banda, were detained, many without a trial. After his release in 1960, Banda decamped to London, where with Kenneth Kaunda (who had been similarly imprisoned for nine months) and Joshua Nkomo he continued to campaign for an end to the federation.
The early sixties saw independence come to a number of French African colonies, and the British prime minister, Harold Macmillan, gave his famous 'wind of change' speech in South Africa.
The British had already decided in 1962 that Nyasaland should be allowed to secede from the federation. A conference held in early '63 at Victoria Falls was seen as a last-ditch attempt to maintain the federation. It failed. It was announced on February 1, 1963, that the Federation of Rhodesia and Nyasaland would be broken up. Nyasaland achieved independence, within the Commonwealth, as Malawi on July 6, 1964. Northern Rhodesia became independent as Zambia on October 24th that year. White settlers in Southern Rhodesia announced a Unilateral Declaration of Independence (UDI) on November 11, 1965.
What Was the British South Africa Company?


I am a historian of the modern Middle East and Islamic World with a focus on the history of youth and young people in the 20th century Middle East. My current research focuses on popular youth clubs and political organizations in mid-20th century Lebanon. Most of these groups operated in and around the capital Beirut, while also working to connect urban centers and rural hinterlands. These groups both leveraged physical and symbolic space in urban Beirut to exist and thrive, as well as extended their messages and services beyond the capital to gain national popularity during the 1940s-1950s. This work attempts to situate these groups within the history of one of the most important cities in the Middle East--culturally, economically and politically--Beirut, as well as more so integrate urban and rural histories of the Middle East into the study of global cities in the 20th century.

Q: How to import functions from different files in Java In java, I know I can use methods from other class by creating that class in my main myClass newClass = new myClass() and then use methods by doing myClass.myMethod(), where myMethod() is defined in myClass.java, but what if I want a file named utils.java that contains a bunch of useful methods,  I just want to use a function that there's in this file, is this possible? How can I import and use the functions from that file?

A: You do not need to "import" the functions, you would need just to create a class that keeps all your needed functions, and import that class.
I am supposing you use an IDE, you could go to your IDE and create a simple class.
e.g:
public class Utils
{
    public static int doSmth(/* Your parameters here */)
    {
        // Your code here
    }

    public static void yetAnotherFunction(/* Your parameters here */)
    {
        // Your code here
    }

}

The most important keyword here is static, to understand it I suggest you check my answer here: when to decide use static functions at java
Then you import this class to any of your other classes and call the static functions, without creating an Object.
import package.Utils;

public class MainClass
{
     public static void main(String[] args)
     {
         Utils.doSmth();
     }

}

A: You can add at the beginning:
import
like-
import utils;

Assuming it is in the same package as the current class
Else it should be:
import <package name>.<class name>

A: Yes, you can import methods but there are caveats.  The methods are defined on a class.  The methods are defined as static.  The import employs the keyword static.  Keep in mind that importing methods directly can create confusion and complicate debugging.  Consider importing the class and invoke the method from the class.  When/whether defining a utility class makes sense and how to implement them are separate discussions.
package some.path;
public class MyUtils {
  public static int add(int x, int y) { return x + y; }
}

To import the method
package some.other.path;
import static some.path.MyUtils.add; // note keyword static here

public class MyClass {
  private int a, b;
  public int sum() { return add(a,b); }
}

Or, import the class and use the method statically
package some.other.path;
import some.path.MyUtils;

public class MyClass {
  private int a,b;
  public int sum() { return MyUtils.add(a,b); }
}

Biografia

Nato da una famiglia iscritta di recente nella nobiltà milanese, Piattino Piatti era figlio di Giorgio e fu fin dalla prima giovinezza paggio di Galeazzo Maria Sforza, conte di Pavia ed erede al trono ducale milanese in quanto primogenito di Francesco Sforza e di Bianca Maria Visconti. Stette così alla corte sforzesca per quindici anni, dove fu educato da Francesco Filelfo, finché, per motivi sconosciuti, entrò però in disgrazia presso il suo antico protettore verso la fine di gennaio del 1467, venendo incarcerato nel Castello di Monza, da cui uscì poco dopo il 29 giugno 1470. Uscito stremato fisicamente e psicologicamente da quest'esperienza (tanto che tentò più volte il suicidio), Piattino, durante la parte restante del ducato di Galeazzo Maria, risiedette prima a Ferrara presso Borso d'Este e il suo successore Ercole (dove scrisse il secondo libro degli Epigrammi); poi a Firenze da Lorenzo de' Medici. In questo periodo risalgono le prime campagne militari al servizio del duca d'Urbino Federico (di cui fu al servizio dal 1474) e di Gian Giacomo Trivulzio, rientrando a Milano nel 1476, in seguito all'assassinio del duca. il Piatti partecipò, in questi anni, a due guerre: quella che Sisto IV dichiarò contro Firenze dopo la Congiura dei Pazzi, nella quale Milano si mantenne fedele alla tradizionale alleanza con Firenze (1477-1480); e quella contro Ferrara, dove Piatti e il Trivulzio si legarono a Federico da Montefeltro in difesa di Ercole I d'Este (1482-1484).

Abbandonata la carriera militare, il Piatti non acquisì gli onori e la fama che godette a Ferrara e a Firenze né sotto la reggenza di Ludovico il Moro per il nipote Gian Galeazzo Maria (1480-1494), né tantomeno quando il Moro diventò duca (1494-1500). Benché vivesse alla corte sforzesca l'esistenza di Piattino negli anni '80 e '90 si fece alquanto oscura, probabilmente dovuta alla diffidenza dei letterati di corte e del Moro stesso. Piattino fece in tempo a vedere il crollo dell'equilibrio fra gli stati italiani patrocinato dalla Lega Italica, la discesa di Carlo VIII di Francia nel 1494, sovrano che elogiò cortigianamente, e la caduta del Moro nella battaglia di Novara (1500) per mano del nuovo re di Francia Luigi XII, che prontamente Piattino elogiò. Dal 1489 alternava il suo soggiorno tra Garlasco e Milano, per stabilirsi nella cittadina pavese (dove fondò una scuola di eloquenza) dal 1500 fino alla sua morte, avvenuta presumibilmente nel 1508 o poco oltre.

Definito dal Simioni «umanista petulante e ciarliero» e dal Filippini «figura simpatica di umanista, ma non molto diversa, moralmente, da quelle di tanti poeti cortigiani della fine del Quattrocento», la figura di Piattino Piatti in effetti non eccelse nel panorama letterario italiano della seconda metà del '400.

Got my Napier flares installed.

Snow run today for a Christmas tree. The truetrac up front did great. Had a couple uphill digs through drifts. Let off the gas when it started hopping, and just let both wheels dig. Really liking these extreme countrys in powder. They don't seem to like ice very well, but they shine in the deep stuff.
Beautiful country out there, off roading must be a blast. Believe it or not I have been to Gillette, spent the night there. It has been several year back, flew into Rapid City and picked up a rental car and drove across country to Walla Walla, Washington. Great trip! beautiful country!
yep i love this state haha. Gillette is a pretty common stopping point along I90.
Test fitting and laying primer down on my TNT Customs bumper.
That bumper looks so much better than the old one. Your truck looks great!
That new bumper is nice. Its a very clean look. How far under/back does the guard go?
guard? The dimpled sheet on the bottom? almost flush with the bulkhead.
THOR intake kit has arrived. Will be retrofitting this to a Renix intake.
Cav-Fab t-case skid has shipped, should be here the 20th.
THOR intake installed. Renix adaptor and boot mates right to the tube. some slicing and dicing on the bulkhead. Does have an annoying whistle at partial throttle I'm going to have to track down. Had to get a 1/2" PEX tee to connect all the vaccume hoses. not bad overall. much better than the spectre kit.

RALEIGH, N.C. - Victor Rask and Elias Lindholm scored shootout goals, while Anton Khudobin stopped both Colorado shots as the Carolina Hurricanes beat the Avalanche 3-2 on Tuesday night.
Jordan Staal, who returned Dec. 29 after a broken right leg, scored his first goal of the season and Patrick Dwyer got the other goal in regulation for the Hurricanes, who have won five consecutive at home against the Avalanche.
"It was a really good start," said Hurricanes coach Bill Peters, who celebrated his 50th birthday with the victory. "I was happy with it for sure. … I didn't think we held onto our success [Carolina led 2-0 after two periods] as well as we should have.
"It was important for Jordan to get that first, but he's had good looks every night. His line was dominant early."
Matt Duchene and John Mitchell scored third period goals for the Avalanche.
Khudobin had 28 saves for the Hurricanes, 4-1-1 in their past six games, while Colorado's Calvin Pickard stopped 44 shots.
•ISLES SHUT OUT RANGERS: Frans Nielsen's shorthanded goal capped the Islanders' three-goal second period, Jaroslav Halak made 27 saves in his fourth shutout of the season, and Long Island's team won 3-0 over the host Rangers, who had won five in a row and 13 of 14.
•BRUINS ROOKIE HOT: Rookie David Pastrnak scored twice for the second game in a row and Milan Lucic had a goal and an assist as the Bruins beat the Tampa Bay Lightning 4-3 in Boston for their fourth consecutive victory. Pastrnak was called up from Providence of the AHL on Jan. 6a.
•SHARP RELIEVER: Petr Mrazek made 25 saves in his first start in place of injured starting goalie Jimmy Howard, and the Detroit Red Wings beat the Sabres 3-1 in Buffalo. Darren Helm, Gustav Nyquist and Tomas Tatar scored for the Red Wings.
•BLUES STIFLE OILERS: Vladimir Tarasenko scored his 24th goal and had an assist as the St. Louis Blues beat the Edmonton Oilers 4-2 for their fifth consecutive victory. Benoit Pouliot scored twice in the third period for Edmonton, but the Oilers mustered a season-low 15 shots.
•FOUR GOALS FOR JET: Mathieu Perreault had four goals and an assist as the Winnipeg Jets cruised to an 8-2 victory over the visiting Florida Panthers. Dustin Byfuglien added two goals and an assist for the Jets, who gave coach Paul Maurice his 500th win.
•PREDATORS WIN BUT GOALIE HURT: Craig Smith scored twice to lead the Predators to a 5-1 victory over the visiting Vancouver Canucks. Nashville lost goaltender Pekka Rinne, who leads the NHL with 28 wins, to a lower-body injury in the third period. He had stopped 20 of 21 shots before being replaced by Carter Hutton.

Q: Swiftmailer, Gmail, Cloud9 not working So, I'm about 2 weeks into trying to learn PHP and I'm working on cloud9, which doesn't support the mail() function. After a lot of looking around on here I thought I'd try Swiftmailer and Gmail. For some reason, I can't seem to get this right even after literally copying formats. I have no idea what I'm doing wrong, but I can't even get echo statements to print after the first line. I've looked at numerous previous posts. I know this is probably a really dumb problem, but I could really use some help. Any alternatives that would work better for me in cloud9 would also be appreciated if this isn't a possibility. Thank you so much for your time.
  <?php
        require_once '/swiftmailer/lib/swift_required.php';
       $transport = Swift_SmtpTransport::newInstance('smtp.gmail.com', 465, "ssl")
            ->setUsername(USERNAME)
            ->setPassword(PASSWORD);
        $mailer = Swift_Mailer::newInstance($transport);
        $message = Swift_Message::newInstance('This is a subject')
            ->setFrom(array('toemail@domain.com' => 'My Name'))
            ->setTo(array('fromemail@domain.com' => 'Some Name'))
            ->setBody('Hello world!');
        $request = $mailer->send($message);
        echo "Hello!";
    ?>

If I put an echo before $request, it still doesn't echo. Also, I am getting all this in my terminal:

A: Maybe it's too late, but just in case:

As stated in the link below, Cloud9 is hosted by Google Cloud Engine, which does not allow outbound connections on ports 25, 465, and 587. There is a workaround using SendGrid but I haven't tried.
