I firmly believe that if we water our lawns by their actual needs, rather than by the mindless setting of irrigation controllers, we can accomplish the city's goal of eliminating 50 percent of the city's summertime outdoor irrigation. The even better news is that we won't have to sacrifice the quality of our fescue lawns.
If the drought continues, the city of Wichita thinks it has no choice but to shock citizens into a different behavior ("Using too much water could cost you $1,000," May 23 Eagle).
A city drought response meeting was held last week. The city's short-term goal is to reduce water use by 25 percent. There was some reasoned clarity beginning to form around long-term conservation, even though many elements of the plan started out as knee-jerk punitive actions and quick fixes.
Though rebates for installing low-flow toilets, dishwashers and clothes washers were suggested, the rush to action did not evaluate more effective solutions such as lawn-water sensors or alternatives to fescue lawns. After three hours of discussion, some longer-term solutions and more possible "gray water" recycling opportunities emerged. Additional sources not discussed were Canal Route water and redirecting current treatment plant water to be mixed with raw water from Cheney Reservoir.
It will be interesting to see citizens' reaction to The Eagle article. If shock brings awareness and discussion, OK. But leadership needs to frame the issue properly and educate both the City Council and the citizens.
Change requires building public trust. City staff's first step is to create a strong water-conservation plan for the city and implement it. Wholesale water contracts and business rates need to be discussed openly so that citizens do not think that residential customers are the only ones being ask to conserve.
The issue is not one of giving up liberty by either side; it is finding a way to address a problem without unduly infringing on anyone's rights.
The answer to providing safety to our children or anyone else comes not from imposing restrictions on those who are not a part of the problem but from enforcement of existing laws. Restricting the capacity of magazines and types of weapons that an individual may own is not addressing the problem. The problem is how to keep guns, regardless of type or capacity, out of the hands of those who, by existing law, should not have them. The focus should be on stricter enforcement of laws prohibiting a felon from possessing a gun and on prosecuting those who commit crimes with a gun.
Giving up rights is not a solution to the problem and should not be a part of the discussion. The Bill of Rights is there to protect all law-abiding citizens. It was not intended to be used selectively.
Each May, National Foster Care Month provides an opportunity to shine a light on the experiences of more than 440,000 youths in foster care. Right now in Sedgwick County, 900 youths are not able to live at home.
All children deserve a place to call home. So throughout May, Youthville encourages the community to get involved.
We want to express our sincere appreciation to the 400 Youthville foster parents for the care and support they provide to foster children. Without their guidance, these children would not have someone who can point them in the right direction or lend a helping hand when they need it.
However, additional foster parents are still needed so kids can stay in the community in which they live. If you'd like to be a foster parent, mentor a child, or volunteer, please call 800-593-1950 or visit www.youthville.org.
In light of the tragedy in Oklahoma, the question that keeps coming from some in the media is: Why would anyone live in the Midwest? The real question, however, is: Why not?
Like Dorothy said, "There is no place like home." She couldn't be more right.
Though we may not have the awe-inspiring skyscrapers, crystal-clear beaches or beautiful mountains, we do have a sense of pride and serenity. The vast plains and majestic sunsets instill in us a fear of God and love of country. The simple but hardworking spirit of Midwesterners is what unites us.
These recent tragedies in Oklahoma show the resilience of the heartland and its get-back-up mentality. I am a proud Midwesterner and couldn't be more blessed to call this place my home.


If you have a ball or dinner and dance on the calendar, you are going to need a dress to fit the bill. This shimmering floor-length number will ensure you arrive in style but still sophisticated with it's long sleeves and high neck. You will love the pretty pleats and floaty fabric that falls to the floor elegantly, but you will no doubt love the shimmer even more.

Glory to God in the Lowest: Journeys To An Unholy Land
Donald E. Wagner
After serving for five years as a pastor in a remarkable Black church, Donald Wagner comes to fully understand the original sin of racism. As his journey continues, he encounters another marginalised people the Palestinians and witnesses their struggle for justice and equality. Touched by their resilience and fight against injustice, he leaves the pastorate to assume full time work as an advocate for Palestinian political and human rights. The memoir begins in mid-September 1982, with a gut-wrenching day interviewing survivors of the Sabra-Shatila massacre in Lebanon, as they wept and waited for the bodies of family members to be pulled from the rubble. Donald Wagner's conversation with the local Imam ended with a challenge: You must return home and tell what you have seen. This is all we ask. Go back and tell the truth." Glory To God in the Lowest is a metaphor for his counter intuitive journey with the victims of the "chosen people" in the "unholy land".
"Wagner's memoir, Glory to God in the Lowest, is a powerfully written work ... it should be on everyone's shelf who has any interest in the Middle East. It is an intense work, motivating and compelling, inspirational for both Christians and non-Christians alike."--Palestine Chronicle
"A call to unlearn Christian zionism and relearn God's justice for all through solidarity with the poor and marginalized in the 'unholy land" ... Join the journey toward the outrageous hope and justice that sees all God's children as created in God's image (imago Dei) and treated with equality, dignity, and justice.--Dr. K. K. Yeo, Harry Kendall Professor of New Testament, Garrett-Evangelical Theological Seminary; Affiliate Faculty, Northwestern University
"A gripping memoir ... A must read for anyone looking for an eyewitness account of major political and religious developments in the modern Middle East."--Rev. Prof. Dr. Mitri Raheb, President, Dar al-Kalima University, Bethlehem, Palestine
"A powerful personal testimony and an incisive political history ... Christians, Jews--or anyone concerned with justice in Israel/Palestine--would do well to read this book."--Rabbi Brant Rosen, Tzedek Synagogue, Chicago
"A treasured gift ... Don Wagner has had the courage to listen to Palestinians, and to speak the truth about Palestine at the times and in the places where silence would have been much easier."--Ali Abunimah, Co-founder, Electronic Intifada and author of One Country
"Beautifully written, carefully nuanced, and deeply moving ... More than a memoir, this welcome book is a model narrative of how we are summoned to go beyond safe ideological assumption to engagement in the deep pain and odd possibilities of our human world."--Walter Brueggemann, Columbia Seminary
"Compelling ... Donald Wagner's grasp of the truth that powered his battle for justice for all is likely to be a microcosm of what the warring parties and their backers must eventually experience for ... peace to reign in this tortured land."--Rami G Khouri, American University of Beirut
"Don Wagner has been for many years a strong voice for justice for Palestinians, an especially crucial one given that he comes out of American Evangelical Christianity, the backbone of rightwing politics throughout the world and in support of Israel's oppression of Palestinians ... He has paid a heavy price for confronting his community on the issue of Palestine. That should be not only an inspiration for us but his journey should serve as a guide to all of us working for an inevitably 'radical' world of justice."--Jeff Halper, author of Decolonizing Israel, Liberating Palestine: Zionism, Settler Colonialism, and the Case for One Democratic State
"Don Wagner has given us a marvelous gift ... The chapter on Christian Zionism is alone worth the price of admission--a historical review and invaluable analysis that Wagner is uniquely equipped to provide."--Mark Braverman, Executive Director, Kairos USA
"Don Wagner's compelling story of personal transformation and work for justice. I believe his early insights into why we need to engage and challenge Christian Zionism--while centering the truths lived by Palestinians--will inspire many to follow his lead in embracing the often-challenging journey for liberation that remains rooted in hope."--Jennifer Bing, American Friends Service Committee, Chicago
"Eye-opening, heart-moving ... This is the engrossing story, briskly told, of someone whose experience in the Middle East transformed him from 'an apathetic, conservative evangelical Christian' to an energetic and courageous advocate of justice for the Palestinians ...."--Nicholas Wolterstorff, Emeritus Professor of Philosophical Theology, Yale University
"I simply could not put this book down. It is a compelling, detailed, eye-witness commentary on the unfolding tragedy of Palestine over the past 40 years. It is also a searing indictment of the failure of the West, tragically with the complicity of the Church, to hold Israel accountable to its obligations under international law and repeated UN Resolutions ...."--Rev. Dr. Stephen Sizer, Director, Peacemaker Trust, UK
"Inspiring ... A brave journey anchored in truth and driven by justice for Palestine ... a spiritual pilgrimage and a theological transformation in favor of the 'lowest' ... Readers will find Don's lucid critique of Christian Zionism stimulating and provocative."--Rev. Dr. Naim Ateek, Co-founder of Sabeel--Jerusalem and author of Justice and Only Justice
"These are the notes from a modern prophet: often inspiring, frequently passionate, occasionally angry, sometimes generating heated disagreement."--Gary M. Burge, Ph.D., Calvin Theological Seminary
"This book provides a detailed analysis of Christian Zionism ... It is both a scholarly work and personal testimony of the author. It outlines the great damage to the prospects of a just peace of those who follow this false theology. I highly recommend it ...."--Jonathan Kuttab, Director, Friends of Sabeel-North America
"Wagner's book is not a mere memoir of a brilliant person who made an impact locally and globally ... [He] provides us with that essential contemporary prophetic voice that is much needed to bring peace with justice to our turbulent and changing world ... For readers of all faiths, this gently-told story will inspire and motivate us in our own journey to a better future."--Mazin Qumsiyeh, Professor at Bethlehem University (Palestine) and author of Sharing the Land of Canaan and Popular Resistance in Palestine
"With his well-known humility, Donald Wagner reveals the insights of a scholar, the spirit of an activist, the heart of a pastor, and the guts of a prophet, all from a lifetime of work throughout the Arab world. His awakening from Christian Zionist evangelicalism to liberation theology is powerfully instructive as is his call now for intersectional solidarity among liberation movements."--Dr. Michael Spath, Director, Indiana Center for Middle East Peace
"Glory to God in the Lowest provides a rare view of the spiritual turmoil which led Don Wagner, an untypical Christian Evangelical, to a painful life journey of unpredictable commitment to helping 'the Lowest, ' or the Palestinian, and discovering along the way what is unholy about American foreign policy and its totem pole of values."--Ghada Hashem Talhami, D. K. Pearson's Professor of Politics, emeriti, Lake Forest College
Donald E. Wagner received a Master of Divinity from Princeton Theological Seminary and a Doctor of Ministry degree from McCormick Theological Seminary. He was Director of the Center for Middle Eastern Studies at Chicago's North Park University. He served as National Director of the Palestine Human Rights Campaign (1980-89), was Director of Middle East Programs for Mercy Corps International (1990-94), and was co-founder of Evangelicals for Middle East Understanding. He is the author of five previous books on Palestinian rights.

'The Walking Dead' Season 4 to Introduce Almost Undefeatable Threat
by TheMac | Jul 15, 2013 | Movies & Series, Slider
Tags: Horror, The Walking Dead
Comicbookmovie.com reported that a bigger danger may be lurking in the corner when "The Walking Dead" returns with its fourth season. Robert Kirkman revealed to TV Guide about the upcoming installment of the zombie series, the flesh eating critters and humans are not the only things that can turn things upside down for the remaining survivors.
Poster: Season 1
"There is a considered effort towards reminding people just how big of a threat the zombies truly are," he says of the tone of season 4. "I don't think we ever truly got away from that, but we did shift our focus to a human antagonist in season 3. In season 4, we are definitely focusing on the zombies, showing them as a clear threat, and bringing them back to the forefront to a certain extent. They will be a very present, huge danger that everyone will have to deal with. But at the same time, we liked bringing in humans as a big threat in season 3."
"We are bringing in another threat, which is nature itself. I don't really want to get into specifics too much, but I will say that there is a third uncontrollable, almost undefeatable threat that is going to come in when the characters of the show are at their most vulnerable. It's really going to be something that they have a hard time dealing with."
As for The Governor he added:
"there is definitely something brewing on the horizon. You'll never know how it is going to happen or when. It's largely an unknown threat, but that guy hasn't gone away."
Scott Gimple, the new show-runner adds that the next season will have:
"a good amount of dark story time… There's some interesting lighter stuff. It's 'The Walking Dead', it's not 'Seinfeld'. Things do get dark. Things do get rough and scary and exciting. There is a little balance of funny, though."
"The Walking Dead" will return in October on AMC and will hold a panel at San Diego Comic-Con on Friday, July 19 at 1:35 P.M. in Hall H.

DW News published this video item, entitled "Brexit negotiations: No trade deal in sight | DW News" – below is their description.
The co-chairs of the EU-UK joint committee on Tuesday announced an "agreement in principle" pertaining in large part to the Irish border issue. Although the agreement is not directly connected to the faltering last-gasp trade talks, it does signal progress in one of Brussels' main areas of concern outside the trade negotiations. The issues were hammered out during a meeting yesterday between EU Vice-President Maros Sefcovic and the UK negotiator Michael Gove, according to a joint press statement issued by both the EU and the UK.
The unofficial agreement would coordinate border control checks specifically for export declarations and the supply of food products plants and animals. As a result of the agreement, the British government said it would remove controversial clauses 44, 45, and 47 of a domestic law, called the Internal Market Bill, which was seen in Brussels as a bid to breach international law and nullify a past agreement with the EU. The agreement will be of particular importance for the border between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland, which is to become the UK's only major land border (discounting British overseas territory Gibraltar) with the EU.

In This Story: Ireland
Ireland is an island in the North Atlantic. It is separated from Great Britain to its east by the North Channel, the Irish Sea, and St George's Channel.
Geopolitically, Ireland is divided between the Republic of Ireland (officially named Ireland), which covers five-sixths of the island, and Northern Ireland, which is part of the United Kingdom. As of 2016, 4.8 million people live in the Republic of Ireland, and 1.8 million live in Northern Ireland.
The Irish climate is influenced by the Atlantic Ocean and thus very moderate, and winters are milder than expected for such a northerly area, although summers are cooler than those in continental Europe. Rainfall and cloud cover are abundant.
A strong Irish culture exists, as expressed through Gaelic games, Irish music and the Irish language. The island's culture shares many features with that of Great Britain, including the English language, and sports such as association football, rugby, horse racing, and golf.

Tony: 10 – Entirely unspectacular – and that's ok! Once you stop looking for Delgado to be another Vazquez or Cheyrou, you can appreciate that he does plenty of basic things quietly right. A less fiery (again, ok) version of Osorio, Delgado comes in to steady that area of the midfield. Like a handy wrench.
Marky Mark Marco Marcus Delgado. His first name confusion is almost befuddling as how to regard the player himself.
I'm guilty of not quite knowing what to make of Delgado. Perhaps he was unfairly pushed on supporters in the mold of a dynamic playmaker full of finesse and fancy moves. But he really isn't. And that's ok. It just took a while to come to that conclusion.
It was in the final stages of the season when Delgado started on the bench where you kind of saw what was missing without him. A basic central midfielder that is steady, doesn't lose his head, can break up a counter-attack while spraying some simple short passes. And that too is ok. Good teams need those guys. It just took a little while to realize Delgado was that guy.
Also: the only Delgado in Toronto sports history to win a major championship. Zingers > Dingers.
Mark: 6 – Does the simple things well.
Duncan: 8 – I don't think he's necessarily better than Osorio, or Chapman, or even Cooper, but he fit in ideally with the midfield, doing work that meant Bradley didn't have to try to do too much, and getting the ball quickly to Vazquez so he had time to do his thing. There was talk that maybe the US should give him a look, which is a bit much I think, but he's a valuable squad player, and in the right circumstances a valuable regular first teamer.
Kristin: 9 – I like Marky, I like him a lot. So I was glad to see him rebound from a somewhat difficult season in 2016. This year however the youngster (I forget how young he is!), showed not just signs of regaining the form he had in 2015, but becoming an integral part of the midfield. His ability to think quickly and link up with VV et al showed where his game is heading. As with Osorio that's still a crowded midfield, a lot will depend on tactics and individual play in the upcoming season.
TuffyRocks: 7 – He has shown a lot of growth and is a quality player on the wing.
Steve C.: 10 – Marky Mark was good value this year.
JordyLike: 12 – Quiet, but always solid and dependable with plenty of upside. Still regret selecting him over that angry goat mascot in the Chivas dispersal draft.
MarkHSV: 8 – Delgado seemed to be the secret to changing this team from good to great in the early part of the season. It looked like Vanney wasn't happy with the midfield at first and finally decided to try out Delgado, and then suddenly everything clicked. Nothing too fancy from him, but a solid player who kept the ball moving to the star players.
Jeff: 11 – Tough start and then was one of the top contributors. Bad wrap in the play-offs -but he works best when the team plays quickly and commits to the attack, we didn't do it in the play-offs until the final and he proved his worth once again in the final. Great role player and solid member of the underrated TFC support team.
Steve G.: 6 – The most under-rated player in the league. Go and look it up: over the last 2 seasons in games started by Marky Delgado, TFC is by far the best team in the league. In games where Delgado doesn't start, they are middle of the pack. The reason why? He does the little things that allows players like Bradley and VV the freedom to roam. He is tireless off the ball to create pressure and win the ball back for TFC & when the Reds have the ball he is the quick, one touch passer that recycles the ball from the backs through the midfield as quickly as possible to ensure that the clubs most creative players get the most touches. He is the Xavi of this team.
Martyn: 13 – Will always be the first boot of 7 that sent us up the field to glory in the Final.
Mr. Tuktoyaktuk: 14 – Had some big games this season but always the nagging feeling he should do better, part 2.
Artur: 14 – Has potential to become an important midfield player.
Aron: 9 – I love him, he's going to keep getting better every year. He's also like 14 years old, so he has many more years to play.
Jen: 11 – Good stuff.
ZicoZay: 10 – He accepted the role of being the foil to the bigger names on the roster; he put himself in a position to be the give in the give-and-go.
Mel: 10 – I felt Marky really came into his own this year. There were some not so bright moments, but overall I think he rightly earned that starting spot.
James: 11 – It is easy to forget, given how smooth and rock-solid Delgado plays, that he is still so young. Still maturing, both physically and in his play, he has found a way to add some goals to his game, most scrappy, but that hit in the MLS Cup Final from range was perhaps an indication of what more there is to come from the midfielder.
YellingAtSoccer: 10 – Always put in a good effort and like Oso had some off games and some great ones.
Alex: 13 – Was key to making the midfield work this season, if his development continues will eventually be hopefully groomed as Bradley's eventual replacement.

Mount Sir Alexander, is a 3,275-metre, ultra-prominent (10,745-feet) mountain in the Sir Alexander Area of the Continental Ranges (sometimes referred to as the Northern Continental Ranges), Canadian Rockies located in British Columbia.

Located with in Kakwa Provincial Park & Protected Area, Mount Sir Alexander is the most northern peak over 3,200-metres (10,500-feet) in the Rocky Mountains.  Originally named Mt. Kitchi, the mountain was renamed Sir Alexander in 1917 in honour of Sir Alexander Mackenzie, who was the first European to cross North America in 1793.  Mackenzie and his party passed within 80 km of the mountain, although he likely never saw it as he was travelling along the Fraser River, well below peak visibility.

\section{Introduction}

Spin-spin interaction in mesons has been studied in a large number
of theoretical papers \cite{ref.1}-\cite{ref.6}, however, up to
now some characteristic features of this interaction are not fully
understood. This statement can be illustrated by theoretical
failure to explain two experimental facts: rather small
$\psi(3686)-\eta_c(2S)$ mass difference:
$M(\psi(3686))-M(\eta_c(2S))=49\pm 4$~MeV
\cite{ref.7}-\cite{ref.9} and, on the contrary, unexpected large
HFS in bottomonium, which follows from the mass
$M(\eta_b(1S))=9391.1\pm 3.1$~MeV of the $\eta_b(1S)$ meson,
recently discovered by the BaBar Collab. \cite{ref.10}. The
$\eta_b$ meson was observed in the radiative decays,
$\Upsilon(3S)\rightarrow \gamma\, \eta_b(1S)$  and
$\Upsilon(2S)\rightarrow \gamma\, \eta_b(1S)$ \cite{ref.10}, and
later confirmed by the CLEO Collaboration, also in the radiative
$\Upsilon(3S)\rightarrow\gamma\,\eta_b(1S)$ decay \cite{ref.11}.
The measured value, $\Delta_{HF}(b\bar b)=
M(\Upsilon(1S))-M(\eta_b(1S))=69.9\pm 3.1$~MeV, is significantly
larger than in most theoretical predictions, thus illustrating
that modern understanding of HF interaction in QCD remains
incomplete.

In perturbative approach a spin-spin potential between heavy
quarks contains the factors, like the strong coupling and quark
masses, which differ in different models and as a result,
theoretical predictions for $\Delta_{HF}(b\bar
b)=M(\Upsilon(9460))-M(\eta_b(1S))$ vary in wide range:
$35-90$~MeV \cite{ref.1}- \cite{ref.6}, \cite{ref.12}, being in
most cases smaller than experimental number.

On fundamental level spin-spin potential $V_{ss}$ has been
recently studied in quenched QCD on large lattice \cite{ref.13},
where this potential was shown to be compatible with zero at
distances $r\geq 0.30$ fm (for unknown reason at smaller $r$ it
has negative sign with a large magnitude). Although the lattice HF
potential remains undefined at small r, its behavior at larger $r$
is in agreement with widely used Fermi-Breit potential containing
$\delta^3(\vec{r})$ \cite{ref.14}. What is important that in
lattice QCD, as well as in Field Correlator Method (FCM)
\cite{ref.15}-\cite{ref.17}, a spin-spin potential is described by
universal functions, expressed via the field correlators.
Moreover, in \cite{ref.17} it was shown that nonperturbative HF
potential can give not small contributions to HFS.

On the other hand  in Ref. \cite{ref.1} a smearing procedure for
the $\delta^3(\vec{r})$-function was shown to be very important,
giving  a large Gaussian smearing parameter for heavy mesons,
containing a $b$ quark, so that for the $B_q~(q=n,s,c)$ mesons and
bottomonium a smearing occurs at very small distances and for them
the use of the Fermi-Breit potential may be a good approximation.
For the mesons, not containing a $b-$quark, a smearing parameter
is essentially smaller, both for light mesons and for the $D, D_s$
mesons \cite{ref.1}. However, such dependence of a smearing
parameter on a quark content does not agree with the lattice and
FCM representation about a spin-spin potential as a universal one
in static approximation, where is defined by the field correlators
with universal parameters \cite{ref.13}, \cite{ref.17}.

Recently HFS in the $B_q$ mesons and quarkonia have also been
calculated in lattice QCD \cite{ref.18}-\cite{ref.22} and their
results we shall shortly discuss in our paper. Here we study HFS
with the use of FCM, where both perturbative and nonperturbative
spin-spin potentials are presented in analytical form
\cite{ref.16}, \cite{ref.17} and it allows to analyse the role of
different physical parameters, defining HF structure. However, a
comparison of our and lattice results is rather difficult, because
in lattice calculations perturbative and nonperturbative spin-spin
effects are not separated and a characteristic value of the strong
coupling $\alpha_{HF}$ is not discussed. On the contrary, our
analysis shows that in bottomonium and the $B_q~(q=n,s,c)$ mesons
HFS can be described within only perturbative approach, since
nonperturbative spin-spin potential gives a small contribution.

It is important that in the $B_q (q=n,s)$ mesons and bottomonium a
good agreement with experiment is reached taking a universal
coupling, $\alpha_{HF}=0.310$ \cite{ref.23}. We would like to
stress that this number is significantly larger that that
prescribed in pQCD, where $\alpha_s(m_b)\sim 0.18$ and
$\alpha_s(m_c)\sim 0.23$ are used; just because of such small
coupling small HFS was predicted in bottomonium in \cite{ref.5},
\cite{ref.12}.

However, for charmonium and the $D, D_s$ mesons their HFS turn out
to be by $\sim 15\%$ and $\sim 30\%$ smaller than in experiment,
if the same $\alpha_{HF}=0.310$ is taken. It can occur for two
reasons: if for those states nonperturbative HF potential gives
essential contributions, or higher order corrections are not
small, as it takes place in fine structure splittings of the $1P$
charmonium multiplet \cite{ref.24}. The situation is different for
the charmonium excited states, for which just with a universal
coupling, $\alpha_{HF}\sim 0.31$, a good agreement with
experimental HFS: $M(\psi(3686))-M(\eta_c(3637))=49\pm 4$ MeV
\cite{ref.7} is obtained. Notice that the scale, corresponding to
$\alpha_{HF}(\mu)=0.31\simeq\alpha_s(\mu)$ is rather large,
$\mu\sim 1.7$ GeV.

In theoretical models two typical choices of $\alpha_{HF}$ are
used:

\begin{enumerate}
    \item
First one, when "a universal" $\alpha_{HF}$ is used. For example,
in \cite{ref.2}  $\alpha_{HF}=0.36$ was taken from the fit to the
mass difference, $M(J/\psi)-M(\eta_c(1S))=117$~MeV; then for this
choice predicted HFS in bottomonium, $M(\Upsilon(9460))-
M(\eta_b(1S)) = 87$~MeV, has appeared to be by $\sim 25\%$ larger
than experimental number. In \cite{ref.3} a smaller universal
$\alpha_{HF}=0.339$ was used in the heavy-light mesons; however,
it is difficult to compare our and their results, because in
\cite{ref.3} a large string tension, $\sigma=0.257$~$GeV^2$, was
used, while here (as well as in \cite{ref.1}) the conventional
$\sigma=0.18$~GeV$^2$ is taken. \item

Second choice is mostly used in pQCD \cite{ref.5}, \cite{ref.12},
where a scale $\mu=m_Q$ depends on a heavy quark mass and
therefore the value of $\alpha_{HF}(\mu)\simeq \alpha_s(m_Q)$ is
essentially smaller. In \cite{ref.12}, as well as in the EFG paper
\cite{ref.4}, just due to the choice of $\alpha_{HF}(m_b)=0.18$
small HFS were obtained in bottomonium (although the w.f. at the
origin from \cite{ref.12} have provided a precision description of
dielectron widths for $\Upsilon(nS)~(n=1,2,3)$ \cite{ref.25}).

\end{enumerate}

In FCM a spin-spin potential takes into account relativistic
corrections and the current masses are used for a light quark,
$m_n\sim 5$~MeV~$(n=u,d)$, and $m_s\simeq 200$ MeV for a $s$ quark
(about a choice of $m_s$ see \cite{ref.26}), so that the $B, D$,
and $B_s, D_s$ mesons can be considered on the same footing as
heavy quarkonia and the $B_c$ mesons.

We shall show here that HFS are sensitive to the value of the
vector QCD constant $\Lambda_V(n_f)$, defining a vector part of a
static potential in coordinate space. In  its turn this constant
is expressed via $\Lambda_{\overline{MS}}(n_f)$ \cite{ref.27},
which at present are known with a good accuracy only for $n_f=5$
and with $10\%$ accuracy for $n_f=3,4$ \cite{ref.7}. To fix
$\Lambda_V(n_f)$ we assume here, as well as in \cite{ref.1}, that
in the one-gluon-exchange potential (OGE) the freezing value of
the vector coupling $\alpha_V(r)(n_f)$ is the same for $n_f=3,4,5$
(it is denoted as $\alpha_{crit}$). Due to such an assumption the
HFS dependence on $n_f$ is weakening, with an exception of the
bottomonium ground states.

We also calculate HFS and the masses of  undiscovered yet mesons:
$\eta_b(2S)$, $\eta_b(3S)$, $B_c^*(1S)$, and the masses of
$B_q(2S), D(2S), D_s(2S)$.

The paper is organized as follows. In Section II the spin-spin
potential is given in the form, where relativistic corrections are
taken into account, as it is prescribed in FCM.  Also relativistic
string Hamiltonian is presented. In Section III the details of the
static potential are discussed. In Section IV calculated w.f. at
the origin and HFS for the $B_q$ mesons and bottomonium are given
and their dependence on the number of flavors is discussed. In
Section V a choice of the strong coupling for the $D, D_s$ mesons,
and charmonium is discussed. Conclusions of our analysis are given
in Section VI. In Appendix A the conventional formula for the pole
mass of a heavy quark is shortly discussed and in Appendix B we
describe the self-energy contribution to the meson mass, which is
important for heavy-light mesons.

The state should ensure that pension systems are portable, flexible and fair to all teachers.
National Council on Teacher Quality. (2015). Pension Flexibility national results. State Teacher Policy Database. [Data set].
Anachronistic features of teacher pension plans disadvantage teachers early in their careers.
Nearly all states continue to provide teachers with a defined benefit pension system, an expensive and inflexible model that neither reflects the realities of the modern workforce nor provides equitable benefits to all teachers. To achieve the maximum benefits from such a plan, a teacher must begin and end his or her career in the same pension system. Teachers who leave before vesting—which is as much as 10 years in some states—are generally entitled to nothing more than their own contributions plus some interest. This approach may well serve as a retention strategy for some, but on a larger scale it fails to reflect the realities of the current workforce. At present, the United States is experiencing an explosion in school-age populations in some states, while other states are experiencing a decline. The nation's workforce needs to be able to respond to these changes. The current workforce is increasingly mobile, with most entering the workforce expecting to change jobs many times. All workers, including teachers, may move to jobs in other states with no intention of changing careers. To younger teachers in particular, a defined benefit plan may seem like a meaningless part of the compensation package and thus fail to attract young talent to the profession. A pension plan that cannot move across state lines and that requires a long-term commitment may not seem like much of a benefit at all.
There are alternatives. Defined contribution plans are fair to all teachers at all points in their careers. These plans are more equitable because each teacher's benefits are funded by his or her own contributions plus contributions from the employer specifically on the individual employee's behalf. This is fundamentally more equitable than defined benefit plans, which are generally structured to require new teachers to fund the benefits of retirees. Moreover, defined contribution plans are inherently portable and give employees flexibility and control over their retirement savings. It must also be noted that defined benefit plans can be portable and fair, if structured as cash balance plans or plans that permit the withdrawal of employer contributions.

Fue delegado de Chile ante la XVI Asamblea General de las Naciones Unidas, celebrada en Nueva York en 1961.

En 1969 fue elegido senador por Chiloé, Aysén y Magallanes (1969-1973); formó parte de la comisión permanente de Gobierno. Por ser su escaño de reciente creación, le correspondía en este primer periodo durar cuatro años, en vez de ocho.

También se desempeñó como Notario público en la ciudad de Los Ángeles, cargo que ocupó hasta antes de su muerte.

Presidencia de la Cámara de Diputados (1964-1965)

El 12 de mayo de 1964, Morales fue elegido presidente de la Cámara de Diputados de Chile, mientras que como vicepresidentes fueron votados el conservador Edmundo Eluchans y el liberal Patricio Phillips. En su discurso al asumir el cargo, Morales manifestó que se empeñaría, junto con los vicepresidentes, en «ser justos y ecuánimes», y en «representar a la honorable cámara con la virtuosidad de nuestros antecesores», a pesar de que —según reconoció— «he inferido muchas heridas y también las he recibido, [y] he participado en numerosas contiendas y combates políticos».

Q: Import errors for ThreeJS in vue-test-utils with Jest I am trying to make my jest tests (used for a VueJS SPA) work since I integrated Three.js in one of my components, but I'm having some trouble. Everything works when I run the app, but tests crash with the error:
/Users/Whomever/FE/node_modules/three/examples/jsm/controls/OrbitControls.js:1
    ({"Object.<anonymous>":function(module,exports,require,__dirname,__filename,global,jest){import {
                                                                                ^^^^^^

SyntaxError: Cannot use import statement outside a module

I know that the source of the error is from the OrbitControls, but I can't manage to get around this. I have tried to import /js instead of /jsm in my component, but then I get the error saying that "THREE is not defined". Also, the thing I least understand is the fact that this single component (which is four children layers deep from the App.vue file) crashes every test, even all the components that don't use Three.js at all.
I have also tried to set THREE globally in the main Vue definition, without success. Here is how my component file is coded:
import Vue from "vue";
import { OrbitControls } from "three/examples/jsm/controls/OrbitControls";
import * as THREE from "three";
export default Vue.extend({
  name: "Some3DComponent",
  components: {}
  data: () => ({
    displayModes: [],
    viewWidth: 100,
    viewHeight: 100,
    modelClickableElements: null,
    has3dModel: false,
    ground: null,
    animationFrame: null,
    editorMode: null,
    renderGround: true,
    scales: null
  }),
//Rest of the code that calls THREE and OrbitControls

    });

Finally I have also tried to import THREE in the index.html file, no success. Now I'm running out of options.
The problems began only since using Three.js, all tests were functional before that.
Thanks in advance for the help!

A: You should not import OrbitControls from the examples folder. This is a custom function.
Try copy/paste the example code you need to a new TypeScript class into your project. Then you should be able to import it correctly. Beware they probably both import THREE so you might have context issues.

National: Senators introduce election security amendment to defense bill | The Hill
National: Senators introduce election security…
Senators are trying to pass legislation aimed at securing U.S. election systems from cyberattacks by inserting the measure into annual defense policy legislation. Sens. James Lankford (R-Okla.) and Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) have introduced a new version of the Secure Elections Act as an amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), which the upper chamber is poised to take up next week. The lawmakers, backed by a bipartisan group of co-sponsors, originally introduced the legislation last December amid rising fears over threats to voter registration databases and other digital systems as a result of Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election.
According to U.S. officials, Russian hackers targeted election-related systems in 21 states as part of its plot to meddle in the 2016 vote.
Since, Lankford and Klobuchar have been working with state election officials to revise the legislation. Some state officials have been wary of federal efforts to address election security, fearing a federal takeover of elections, which have historically been administered by states.
"The security of our election systems is a major national security issue, and it is appropriate for this legislation to be included in the National Defense Authorization Act," Lankford said in a statement. "This legislation will help states prepare our election infrastructure for the possibility of interference from Russia, Iran, North Korea, or a domestic hacktivist group."

Today, the Senate Judiciary Committee hears testimonies from doctor Christine Blasey Ford and Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh about allegations of a 1980 sexual assault.
Kavanaugh has been accused of sexual misconduct by two other women, putting his nomination for the high court at risk. As the testimony is underway, many Americans are tuning in – including OU students.
The Oklahoma Memorial Union on OU's campus had their television sets turned to the news today. The court hearing has sparked emotion across campus and OU Nightly's Abby Green talked to a few students on their reactions to the historic event.


If you haven't insured your vehicle, you will be required to pay a fee for each day the vehicle is uninsured, to the Norwegian Motor Insurers' Bureau (TFF) (section 17a of the Motor Insurance Act). This came into force 1st March 2018. For cars, the fee is 150 kroner * for each day the car is uninsured, other amounts apply to mopeds, trucks, ATV's etc. In addition to the fee, a motor insurance tax is required from the authorities. See rates.
Failure to pay the omission fee and the motor insurance tax will result in debt collection.
Please note that the omission fee is not an insurance.
All vehicles, such as cars, mopeds, motorcycles, tractors and buses, etc., which have the license plates on or have status as registered, must be insured. This is legally required after bilansvarsloven (section 15). If the vehicle has the license plates on or has status as registered, it must be insured even if it's not in use or not in a drivable condition.
The liability insurance (motor insurance) covers damage to someone else's vehicle or property, it also covers any personal injury to anyone involved in an accident.
It is illegal to use the vehicle without a valid liability insurance (motor insurance). If an accident occurs, the owner of the uninsured vehicle may be penalized and held financially liable for any damage that occurs.
An uninsured vehicle could be deregistered by the authorities in the event of road side checks. We emphasize the importance of making sure all your vehicles are duly insured to avoid the omission fee.
The mandatory motor third party liability insurance (MTPL) is not required for deregistered, unregistered, wrecked or stolen vehicles. Trailers or caravans (towed trailers) are not defined as motor vehicles and do not require MTPL.
Damages caused by uninsured vehicles are covered by the Norwegian Motor Insurers' Bureau (TFF). Thus, TFF will demand recourse against the owner of the uninsured vehicle.
Log into our website to see if your vehicles are required to have MTPL and if they are duly insured.
If the vehicle is not in use or is not in a drivable condition, you must submit the license plates to one of the National Public Roads Administration. If the vehicle is only used parts of the year, it must be deregistered for the time it is not used to avoid insurance requirement. The license plates are stored free of costs at the traffic station for up to six months.
If you think the vehicle is unregistered or wrecked but not listed as such in the motorcar register, please contact the Norwegian Public Roads Administration to avoid charges.
If you are listed as the owner of a stolen vehicle, you should contact the police to ensure that it's reported stolen to avoid future charges.
If you own a vehicle that you believe is insured but is listed as uninsured, it is important that you contact your insurance company as soon as possible to correct the mistake.
More than 3% of all vehicles in Norway are uninsured. Damage caused by uninsured and unknown vehicles leads to significant expenses for the insurance companies that cover this via the Norwegian Motor Insurers' Bureau (TFF). These costs are relegated to law-abiding policyholders.
In Sweden, which has had a similar fee scheme since the 1970s, less than 1% of the vehicles are uninsured.
The fee scheme was approved by the Parliament on 15th of December 2017. The fee will motivate the owners of uninsured vehicles to purchase mandatory liability insurance (motor insurance). The Norwegian Motor Insurers' Bureau (TFF) will charge the fee, and the fee will be used to cover the damages caused by uninsured and unknown vehicles (section 10 Bilansvarsloven).
Please note that the fee is not an insurance, and in addition, a road insurance tax to the authorities (previous annual road tax) is required for each day the vehicle is uninsured.


MEDICINE HAT, AB – Medicine Hat Brewing is getting set to release the latest in its Stand Tall Series of beers inspired by local tales of bravery and heroism.
There are a series of alphabetically arranged streets located in Medicine Hat, Belfast being one of them. This street was home to a war veteran who held a Major rank. When he returned home to Belfast Street from the war in the 40's, he became an educator and eventually held a leadership role within the district. We dedicate this Stand Tall Series beer to the residents, old and new, of Belfast Street as well as our community's exceptional educators who deserve the opportunity to stand tall.
This is a smooth luscious dark ale with a medium light body. Brewed with 5 different American hops and copious amounts of leaf hops in our hopback, it has a fresh hop aroma & flavour with a medium dry finish.
Belfast Black IPA will be released next Friday March 15th, and will be available in 473 ml cans and on draught while supplies last.

The Matrix is a 'trans metaphor', Lilly Wachowski says
Image caption Lilly accepts the oustanding series GLAAD Award for Sense8 in 2016
The Matrix films are about being transgender, the trilogy's co-director says.
"That was the original intention but the world wasn't quite ready," says Lilly Wachowski, who came out as trans along with her sister Lana after the films came out.
Fans have speculated about potential meanings behind the iconic films and Lilly confirmed the theory to Netflix.
"I'm glad that it has gotten out," she said.
The Matrix first hit screens in 1999, when Lilly says "the corporate world wasn't ready" for an allegory - a story that can be interpreted to reveal a hidden meaning - about transgender people.
But the director says the films have always been "meaningful" for trans people.
"They come up to me and say these movies saved my life.
"I'm grateful I can be throwing them a rope to help them along their journey."
The character Switch - who *spoiler alert* didn't make it past the first film - shows "where our headspaces were", Lilly says in a Netflix video.
"The Matrix stuff was all about the desire for transformation but it was all coming from a closeted point of view.
"We had the character of Switch - who was a character who would be a man in the real world and then a woman in the Matrix."
Lilly doesn't know "how present my transness was in the background of my brain as we were writing" The Matrix.
"But it all came from the same sort of fire that I'm talking about."
She was always drawn to science fiction because "we were existing in a space where the words didn't exist, so we were always living in a world of imagination".
Image caption Keanu Reeves and Carrie-Anne Moss are back for the fourth Matrix film in 2022
Lana was the first of the siblings to transition, telling the New Yorker in 2012 how much she was struggling with her gender identity around the time of the second and third Matrix films.
"For years, I couldn't even say the words 'transgendered' or 'transsexual'.
"When I began to admit it to myself, I knew I would eventually have to tell my parents and my brother and my sisters.
"This fact would inject such terror into me that I would not sleep for days. I developed a plan that I worked out with my therapist. It was going to take three years. Maybe five."
'One of the lucky ones'
Lilly came out publicly as trans in 2016 after a reporter from the Daily Mail turned up at her door.
"I just wanted - needed some time to get my head right, to feel comfortable. But apparently I don't get to decide this," she said in a statement to the Windy City Times afterwards.
"I am one of the lucky ones. Having the support of my family and the means to afford doctors and therapists has given me the chance to actually survive this process.
"Transgender people without support, means and privilege do not have this luxury. And many do not survive."
The Matrix trilogy - and particularly the first film, which won four Academy Awards - appear in plenty of lists about the "greatest science fiction films of all-time".
Neo, played by Keanu Reeves, wakes up to the reality that he's been living in a computer simulation his whole life - his physical body, along with the rest of the human race, is being used as an energy source by alien overlords.
There is set to be a fourth film in the series, directed by Lana alone, expected for 2022.

Enduser BVS Srl. Italy, Rolling Mill for billets / Reheating Furnace from TS Italy.
The position of the front billet in the furnace must be checked before it is lifted and pushed outside the furnace. Customer wants to replace the present solution which enters the furnace and touches the billets.
Object temperature inside the furnace reaches 1250 °C. Customer does not want to have sensors mounted on the furnace wall: this implies complex works and is generally not feasible. He refused a light barrier made of transmitter and receiver and requested a single device which could look inside the furnace through the existing opening. A diffuse sensor would not work properly because of the presence of identical objects the background: a diffuse sensor could not discriminate between front and back billet.
A complex mechanical system touching the billet, which is made of a chart travelling to the furnace opening and pushing a 1 m long rod inside, up to a defined distance (=billet position).
Customer will dismantle the chart and point Proxitron Laser distance measurement through the existing opening against the approaching billet. After reaching the expected distance, the billet can leave the furnace. Position need not be extremely precise, so an "active range" will be set. When billet lies in this range, switching output has a changed condition and the controller can activate the ejection device. In the following picture the red dot marked green shows where the laser light pointed during tests: this secondary window was opened for measurements to be taken and compared with the chart feedback. In the final installation the LMB will look through the opening now used by the mechanical chart.
One single sensor instead of a complex mechanical system. Non-contact measurement; no intrusion in the furnace.

An entrepreneur's open letter exposes the rot in Nepal's Office of the Company Registrar: Who will hold it accountable?
Connivance between the top bureaucrats and politicians is a reality across the country. But Nepal lacks credible institutions to investigate corruption allegations and malpractices.
Office of the Company Registrar. (Photo: Wikipeda)
Nishan Khatiwada - 3 February, 2022
Kathmandu: On January 28, Rudra Raj Pandey, Founder and Chairman at Deerhold, Ltd, drew the attention of the Office of the Company Registrar through an open letter posted on his Facebook wall. 'Government of Nepal, Office of the Company Registrar,' he addressed, adding in another line, 'in other words, the office of the corruption registrar' indicating how corruption is deeply rooted in that government agency.
The primary duty of this office ought to be to support and serve entrepreneurs, wrote Pandey. "It should welcome those who reach there with the dream of initiating ventures. The office should have a culture of completing the work of service seekers and make them feel upbeat with good gestures of thank you and Namaste."
This was a prelude to the story of how setting up companies in other countries becomes a matter of encouragement while doing so in Nepal is full of frustrating experiences.
I have set up companies in various countries including in the US, Japan, India and Singapore, Pandey wrote. "I could set up companies in these countries without hurdles, without having to bribe a single penny to any officials. After the registration of the company, they sent me letters of congratulations with words of thanks and encouragement."
Pandey then shared how frustratingly difficult it is to get similar jobs done in Nepal. He wrote that if we approach the Office of the Company Registrar in Nepal with a similar purpose we have to bribe the officials. "We have to pay a bribe from the beginning, including from choosing the name of the company," Pandey shared his experience. "Officials demand bribes claiming document mismatch and in other pretexts."
Initially, he refused to pay the bribe money, trying to live up to the precept of Late King Prithvi Narayan Shah that those who bribe and those who receive it are the enemies of the nation. "But I was in the US and nobody listened to me in Nepal. Leaders just laughed at me and got away with the matter and the secretaries pointed to the problem documentation process."
These days even my people pay the bribe money to the Office of Company Registrar, Pandey wrote. "I can't help crying about this situation of the country. But who shall I complain to? Where shall I complain? From the court to the ministry, all are looking for bribes."
Pandey further wrote that when the officials of OCR come to read his note they would give further trouble to his managers. "I know the high-level officials at OCR will give further troubles to my managers after reading this note. But I have come to millions of Nepalis who are also going through the same feeling of injustice through this note on social media. How long should we bear with this injustice?"
Pandey has written that probably there are officials at OCR who do not take bribes and his note is not meant for them.
Pandey has asked all those who face hassles at the OCR to share their stories. Pandey ended the note by drawing the attention of the Ministry of Industry which is under the Prime Minister of Nepal. "If anyone from the Prime Minister's Office and Commission for the Investigation of Abuse of Authority (CIAA) want to know the detailed story, I can give the names. I could not do much for the country, but I can at least do this much [give names]."
The note of Pandey has been widely shared and many others have shared similar experiences of having to bribe the officials to get the works done at the government offices.
Pandey's story is a common story of hassles that service seekers face when they have to get things done at government offices. Unfortunately, however, there are no institutions where the service seekers can knock to complain of the wrongdoings.
Ministry assures actions
When asked why the people are subjected to hassles at the company registrar office, Dr Narayan Prasad Regmi, Joint-Secretary at the Ministry of Industry, Commerce and Supplies, said that the government does not tolerate bribery and corruption. "Bribery and corruption are not acceptable under any pretext," he told Nepal Live Today. "It will be easier for the ministry to take action if the case is formally lodged."
"It should be noted that the government alone cannot ensure good governance without public support," he said, adding that the service seekers can also file complaints through an appropriate mechanism.

Q: remove some elements if no children i need to remove some elements if no children...
this will work...
$$('*').each(function() {
    ($$(this).text().trim() === '') && $$(this).remove()
});

but it will look for all elements... i need to limit to some elements.. so i made this..
elements.forEach(element => {
    $$(element).each(function() {
        ($$(this).text().trim() === '') && $$(this).remove()
    });
})

but it doesn't work..

A: You can use :empty pseudo selector to collect all the empty elements:
$(':empty').remove(); // removes all the empty elements

If you target some specific elements then either give it a class name and use both in conjuction:
$('.theClass:empty').remove();

Or just use the tagnames of specific elements:
$('div:empty').remove(); // removes all the empty divs

A: You can use the id, classor tag in the jQuery selector. Try the following way:

$("div:empty").remove();

test

A: I like Mamun's approach. If you want to apply it on a certain collection of element types only you could modify/simplify it as such:
$("div,td,p,... and other elements").filter(":empty").remove();

Sorry, just noticed, that Jay also provided a part of my solution. I did not want to repeat things unecessarily here, but maybe the combination of the two is still relevant.

A:
Remove all empty tags from current document

$("*:empty").remove();

A: If I understood correctly what you asked, you should rty :
if($("some selection").children() === undefined){
//do something
}

or as a function :
function rmIfNoChild(jQobj){
    if(jQobj.children() === undefined){
      //do something
    }
}


How do corporate accounts work?
Corporate accounts allow a group of people to share payment and billing information. One master account serves as the billing contact, supplying the credit card, prepay balance, or invoicing for one or more order accounts.
The master account can access all of the transcripts, invoices and receipts for its subaccounts. Individual subaccounts can access only their own info and files.
The subaccounts work exactly like our standard accounts, except they cannot add or edit payment information. They can view partial information, such as card type and cardholder's name, in order to allow them to choose among the payment methods that the master account has supplied.
