She is one of my most musically gifted friends. She is studying music here at school and is an incredibly talented vocal performer. I was thrilled when she asked me to take her pictures to advertise for her Junior Recital titled The Fatal Hour (hence the cemetery location), because A. It's always flattering when someone wants you to be their photog, and B. I adore Hannah and love spending time with her... so it gave us a good excuse to play! I was lucky enough to later attend her recital, and let me tell you... WOW can that girl sing! She has definitely been blessed with a great set of lungs! Here is a sneak peak at her photos.


I have been invited to a ceremonial stone unveiling that I will not be able to attend. I would like to acknowledge the event in some way, but I am not familiar with the acceptable customs and do not want to offend the family in any way. Is it appropriate to send a card or a gift of some kind to the family to acknowledge the event?
It would certainly be appropriate to send a card acknowledging the deceased and the family's loss. This is not really an occasion for gifts.
While gifts are not customary, a card would be very nice. Further, there is also the custom of giving charity in memory of a person who died. Making a donation to a charitable organization in memory of the deceased is a very nice way to acknowledge the event and honor the memory of the person who died. I would recommend this wither in addition to, or instead of, a card.
Your instinct is good, but not quite on target. An unveiling does not call for a gift, and unlike the period of Shiva (the time of the gathering of the mourners, and attendance on them by visitors/comforters) the sending or bringing of food (or other gifts) is not expected or really appropriate.
An acknowledgment is what is called for: a card, or even better, a personal note, acknowledging the event (and thereby the reason for it), and perhaps expressing regret that you cannot attend, would be both appreciated and very appropriate.
In the same vein, if you were to make a charitable donation in memory of the deceased, with an acknowledgment sent to the family by the recipient organization, that would be a quite appropriate action. It might perhaps be even better if it were a donation to a charitable cause named or supported by the deceased or the family at the time of the death, or somehow directly related to the deceased and/or family (for example, a donation to the American Diabetes Association for someone who died of complications from diabetes, or to the congregation to which the deceased belonged and where they served as an officer, or to an organization which family members actively support).
The important thing here is the acknowledgment, letting the family know that you are aware of this milestone event in their life, and ideally, that you are sensitive to their feelings as they are moving through the process of grieving their loss.

\section{Introduction}
\label{sec:intro}

The existence of bound states of gluons, called glueballs, is a
prediction of the QCD theory. The experimental discovery of such
particles would give a supplementary strong support to this theory. But,
a reliable experimental identification of glueballs is difficult to
obtain, mainly because glueball states might possibly mix strongly with
nearby
meson states. Nevertheless, the computation of pure gluon glueballs
remains an interesting task. This could guide experimental searches and
provide some calibration for more realistic models of glueballs.

The potential model, which is so successful to describe bound states of
quarks, is also a possible approach to study glueballs. Among the
pioneer works using this formalism, the one of Corwall and Soni is
particularly interesting \cite{corn83}. Assuming a nonrelativistic
kinematics and a saturated confinement supplemented by a one-gluon
exchange interaction, masses of pure gluon glueballs were computed.
However, only the four lightest two-gluon states ($0^{++}$, $0^{-+}$,
$1^{-+}$, $2^{++}$) were computed and found between 1.2 and 1.8~GeV.
Using a similar model, two-gluon glueballs have been studied in
Ref.~\cite{hou03}. The masses of states with $L=0$, 1 and 2 orbital
momentum were computed and several states are found below 3~GeV.
Unfortunately, we think that this model suffers from several drawbacks
which spoil any possible physical conclusions. This has been discussed
elsewhere \cite{brau04}. Nevertheless, we think that these drawbacks can
be corrected in order to obtain a more reliable potential model.

In this paper, we compute two-gluon glueball masses using various
modifications of the potential model obtained two decades ago by
Cornwall and Soni. After a critical study of these various models, we
conclude that a spectra in rather good
agreement with lattice calculations and some experimental glueball
candidates can be obtained, provided several conditions are fulfill: a
semirelativistic Hamiltonian is used, the gluon has a finite size, the
confinement is a scalar interaction, and a dynamical constituent gluon
mass is used in the leading relativistic corrections.

In Sec.~\ref{sec:ham}, the Hamiltonian model is presented with the
notion of gluon size. Three variants of our model are discussed in
Sec.~\ref{sec:res} and a glueball spectrum is presented. Concluding
remarks are given in Sec.~\ref{sec:conc} and some useful technical
details are given in appendix.

\section{Hamiltonian}
\label{sec:ham}

The two-gluon Hamiltonian contains a kinetic part $H_0$, a short-range
part $V_{\text{SR}}$ due to the one-gluon exchange between the two
valence gluons, and a confining interaction $V_{\text{conf}}$, as the
model proposed by Corwall and Soni \cite{corn83}
\begin{equation}
\label{h}
H = H_0 + V_{\text{SR}} + V_{\text{conf}}.
\end{equation}
Following Refs.~\cite{corn83,simo01}, there is no constant potential,
contrary to usual Hamiltonians for mesons and baryons.
This model can be considered with both nonrelativistic (Schr\"odinger
equation) and semirelativistic (spinless Salpeter equation) kinematics
($\hbar=c=1$)
\begin{equation}
\label{h0}
H_0 = 2 m_K +\frac{\bm p^2}{m_K}
\quad \text{or} \quad
H_0 = 2 \sqrt{\bm p^2 + m_K^2},
\end{equation}
where $m_K$ is the effective gluon mass appearing in the free part of
the Hamiltonian. If a Schr\"odinger Hamiltonian is used, it is necessary
to verify that, for each glueball state, the quantity
$\sqrt{\langle \bm p^2/ m_K^2 \rangle}$, which can be considered as the
mean speed of a gluon, is small with respect to 1.

\subsection{Short range potential}
\label{ssec:sr}

We use the short-range potential between two gluons proposed in
Ref.~\cite{corn83}. After some manipulations, this potential takes de
following form
\begin{eqnarray}
\label{vsr}
V_{\text{SR}} &=& -\lambda\, U(r) \left(
\frac{2 s - 7 m^2}{6 m^2} + \frac{1}{3} {\bm S}^2 \right) \nonumber \\
&&+ \frac{\lambda \pi}{3 m^2}\delta^3(\bm r) \left(
\frac{4 m^2 - 2 s}{m^2} + \frac{5}{2} {\bm S}^2 \right) \nonumber \\
&&- \frac{3 \lambda}{2 m^2} \frac{U'(r)}{r}\,\bm L \cdot \bm S
\nonumber \\
&&+ \frac{\lambda}{6 m^2} \left( \frac{U'(r)}{r} - U''(r) \right) T
\quad \text{with} \quad U(r)=\frac{e^{-m r}}{r},
\end{eqnarray}
where $\bm L$ and $\bm S$ are the usual orbital momentum and spin
operators, and where
\begin{equation}
\label{tens}
T = \bm S^2 - 3 (\bm S \cdot \hat{\bm  r})^2
\end{equation}
is the tensor operator. $m$ is
an effective gluon mass, which can differ from the mass $m_K$ (see
below). The quantity $s$ is in principle the square of the glueball
mass, but we will always take
$s=4m^2$ as it is suggested in Ref.~\cite{corn83}. The parameter
$\lambda$ is linked to the strong coupling
constant $\alpha_S$ by the relation \cite{hou84}
\begin{equation}
\label{lambda}
\lambda = 3 \alpha_S.
\end{equation}

This potential has a priori a very serious flaw: depending on the
spin state, the short distance singular parts of the potential may be
attractive and lead to a Hamiltonian unbounded from below. We will see
in Sec.~\ref{ssec:size}, how to cure this problem.

\subsection{Confinement potential}
\label{ssec:conf}

The dominant part of the interaction between the two gluons is the
confinement. As the leading relativistic corrections are taken into
account in the short-range part of the interaction, it is natural to
keep the same order corrections for the confinement potential. The
Lorentz structure of the confining interaction is not well known yet. In
this work, we follow the prescription of Ref.~\cite{simo00}: if the
radial form (static or zero order part) of the confinement is $W_X(r)$,
then the total confinement interaction is written
\begin{equation}
\label{vconf}
V_{\text{conf}}= W_X(r) - \frac{1}{2 m^2 r} W_X'(r) \,\bm L \cdot \bm S,
\end{equation}
where the effective mass $m$ is the same than the one appearing in
potential~(\ref{vsr}). Actually, this form contains only the dominant
correction, which is a spin-orbit contribution, and it is only valid for
large values of the distance $r$. But, for our purpose, this
approximation is sufficient. The interaction~(\ref{vconf}) corresponds
to a confinement with a dominant scalar structure \cite{luch91}. Let us
note that the spin-orbit contribution from the confinement counteracts
the spin-orbit contribution from the one-gluon exchange, and plays an
important role to obtain a spectra in agreement with lattice
calculations.

Two radial forms $W_X(r)$ can be used. In
Refs.~\cite{corn83,hou01,hou03}, the confinement potential saturates at
large distances
\begin{equation}
\label{confsat}
W_\beta(r) = 2m\left( 1-e^{-\beta m r} \right).
\end{equation}
Such a form can simulate the breaking of the color flux tube between the
two gluons due to color screening effects. The maximal mass for a
glueball is then $4 m$. Another simpler form is
proposed in Ref.~\cite{simo00}
\begin{equation}
\label{conflin}
W_a(r) = a_G\, r = \frac{9}{4} a\, r,
\end{equation}
where $a_G$ is the string tension between two gluons and $a$ the usual
string tension between a quark and an antiquark.
The $9/4$ factor is due to the color configuration of the
gluons \cite{corn83,hou03}. These two potentials coincide at small
distances, which implies that
\begin{equation}
\label{beta}
\beta \approx \frac{a_G}{2 m^2} = \frac{9 a}{8 m^2}.
\end{equation}
Potential~(\ref{conflin}) seems a priori inappropriate since strings
joining gluons must always break if a sufficiently high energy is
reached. But this phenomenon must only contribute to the masses of the
highest glueball states.

\subsection{Gluon size}
\label{ssec:size}

Within the framework of a potential QCD model, it is natural to assume
that a gluon is not a pure pointlike particle but an effective degree of
freedom which is dressed by a gluon and quark-antiquark pair cloud. Such
hypothesis for quarks leads to very good results in the meson
\cite{brau98} and baryon \cite{brau02} sectors. We assume here a Yukawa
color charge density for the gluon
\begin{equation}
\rho(\bm u)=\frac{1}{4\pi \gamma^2}
\frac{e^{-u/\gamma}}{u},
\label{dens}
\end{equation}
where $\gamma$ is the gluon size parameter.
The interaction between two gluons is then modified by this density, a
bare
potential $V$ being transformed into a dressed potential
$\widetilde{V}$.
This potential is obtained by a double convolution over the densities of
each interacting gluon and the potential. It can be shown that this
procedure is equivalent to the following calculation \cite{sema03}
\begin{equation}
\widetilde{V}(\bm r)=\int d\bm r'\,V(\bm r')\, \Gamma(\bm r-\bm r')
\quad \text{with} \quad
\Gamma(\bm u)=\frac{1}{8\pi \gamma^3}e^{-u/\gamma}.
\label{conv}
\end{equation}
Convolutions for some useful potentials are given in
appendix~\ref{sec:conv}.

Other color charge densities could be used, a Gaussian one for instance
\cite{brau02}. We have nevertheless strong indications that such a
change cannot noticeably modify the results \cite{brau01}. We choose
the Yukawa density because all convolutions are analytical with this
form.

The convolution~(\ref{conv}) of potential $e^{-m r}/r$ with the color
density~(\ref{dens}) removes all singularities in the short-range
interaction~(\ref{vsr}). For consistency, we apply the same
regularization to the confinement potential~(\ref{vconf}), although no
singularity are present in the radial form $W_X(r)$.

\section{Results}
\label{sec:res}

\subsection{Some general considerations}
\label{ssec:consid}

Nonrelativistic potential models have been intensively used to compute
static properties of mesons and baryons. But numerous works show that
semirelativistic potential models can give better results (see for
instance Refs.~\cite{sema92,fulc94}). Although the gluon effective mass
is expected around 700~MeV \cite{corn83,hou03}, which is heavier than
the assumed constituent strange quark mass, the relevance of a
nonrelativistic dynamics for the gluon is questionable. Using the
various models discussed below with several different sets of realistic
parameters, we have always obtained values of
$\sqrt{\langle \bm p^2/ m_K^2 \rangle}$ around unity (and sometimes
largely above) when a nonrelativistic kinematics was used (if $m_K\ne
0$). As we shall see below, the model~III is by nature a
semirelativistic one. Both kinematics can be used for models~I and II,
but we have verified that the drawbacks of these two models cannot be
solved by a change of kinematics. Consequently, in the following, we
will only present results from spinless Salpeter Hamiltonians.

In order to avoid singularities, potentials $U(r)$ and $W_X(r)$ of
formulas~(\ref{vsr}) and (\ref{vconf}) have been replaced by their
corresponding dressed forms $\widetilde{U}(r)$ and
$\widetilde{W}_X(r)$. Another way to get rid of singularities in the
short-range potential is
to treat $V_{\text{SR}}$ as a perturbation (at least when it is
attractive) of the dominant confinement interaction. But, for a lot of
states, computed with different sets of realistic parameters, the
contribution of the short-range part can be comparable to the one of the
confinement part. So, a perturbative approach of the singularities can
hardly be justified. In the following, we will always treat the
potential $V_{\text{SR}}$ non perturbatively.

The tensor operator $T$ is responsible of channel coupling. Its matrix
elements are given in appendix~\ref{sec:meop}. It can be shown that the
total spin $S$ of two gluons is always a good quantum numbers, but
mixing of orbital momenta with the same parity is possible. For
instance, the $2^{++}$ glueball with $S=2$ is the mixing of three states
with $L=0$, 2 and 4.  But, it is not coupled with the $2^{++}$ glueball
with $S=0$ and $L=2$. In principle, the effect of mixing is a second
order correction with respect to the contribution of the diagonal term.
In this paper, results are only shown when off-diagonal tensor
contributions are neglected. Nevertheless, we will discuss below the
effect of mixing for our various models.

The general characteristics of all our models are:
\begin{itemize}
\item Semirelativistic kinematics;
\item All radial forms convoluted following relation~(\ref{conv});
\item $V_{\text{SR}}$ not considered as a perturbation of
$V_{\text{conf}}$;
\item No channel coupling with $T$.
\end{itemize}

The eigenvalue problem has been solved by the Lagrange-mesh method which
allows a great accuracy as well as for Schr\"odinger equation
\cite{baye86} as for spinless Salpeter equation \cite{sema01}.

In the models considered below, the gluon masses ($m_K$ and $m$) will be
fixed by physical considerations. We are then left with 3 parameters:
$\alpha_s$ (or $\lambda$) for $V_{\text{SR}}$, $\beta$ or $a$ for
$V_{\text{conf}}$, and the gluon size $\gamma$ for which less
constraints exist on its value. Fortunately, the mass of the lightest
$2^{++}$ state is nearly independent of the parameters $\alpha_s$ and
$\gamma$.
For this state, the spin-orbit and diagonal tensor potentials vanish and
the two remaining contributions have opposite signs. So, the confinement
potential is the largely dominant contribution to this $2^{++}$ mass
(see Figs.~\ref{fig1}-\ref{fig3}). We can fix the value of $\beta$ or
$a$ with this state only, knowing that a lattice calculation
\cite{morn99} and a quasiparticle model \cite{szcz03} favor a
$2^{++}$ mass around 2.4~GeV, but that some experimental
candidates are found around 2~GeV \cite{zou99,bugg00}. Some agreements
between theoretical calculations and experimental data exist about mass
ratios of some lightest glueball candidates (see
Refs.~\cite{morn99,zou99,bugg00} and Table~\ref{tab1}):
$M(0^{++})/M(2^{++}) \sim 0.72-0.78$ and
$M(0^{-+})/M(2^{++}) \sim 1.10$. So, we will fix the parameters
$\alpha_s$ and $\gamma$ in order to reproduce at best these mass ratios.
Let us note that the mass ratios in lattice calculations can be more
interesting quantities to consider than absolute masses, due to the
existence of normalization problems \cite{morn99}.

\subsection{Model I}
\label{ssec:m1}

The first model we consider is by two aspects close to the models of
Refs.~\cite{corn83} and \cite{hou03}: The short-range part is
supplemented by a saturated confinement potential and the gluon is
assumed to be characterized by an unique effective mass $m_K=m$, around
the typical value of 700~MeV. In this paper, we choose the value of
Ref.~\cite{hou03}. Nevertheless, the model is
semirelativistic and the short-range part is not treated perturbatively.
The particular characteristics of model I are:
\begin{itemize}
\item $m_K = m = 0.670$ GeV \cite{hou03};
\item $V_{\text{conf}}$ with $W_\beta(r)$.
\end{itemize}

To find a mass of the lightest $2^{++}$ state around 2~GeV, it is
necessary to take $\beta \approx 0.2$, which corresponds to
$a\approx 0.08$~GeV$^2$, a quite unrealistic value. A mass around
2.4~GeV can be obtained with $\beta\approx 0.5$ corresponding to
$a\approx 0.2$~GeV$^2$, a more realistic value. The parameters
$\beta=0.5$, $\alpha_S = 0.5$, and $\gamma = 0.5$~GeV$^{-1}$
give the following lightest mass ratios: $M(0^{++})/M(2^{++}) = 0.93$
and $M(0^{-+})/M(2^{++}) = 0.73$. Let us note that if the spin-orbit
contribution from confinement is not taken into account, the last ratio
decreases to 0.61. A lower value for the mass ratio
$M(0^{++})/M(2^{++})$ can be obtained by modifying the parameters
$\alpha_S$ and $\gamma$, but in this case, the mass ratio
$M(0^{-+})/M(2^{++})$ also decreases. It can even take negative values
for realistic values of the parameters $\alpha_S$ and $\gamma$. This
nonphysical behavior is due to the spin-orbit potential from
$V_{\text{SR}}$ which becomes very attractive. It is worth noting that a
variation of the gluon effective mass of 200~MeV around the value
670~MeV does not change noticeably the results. Thus, the model~I is not
able to describe neither the lightest $2^{++}$ mass state, nor the
lightest
mass ratios $M(0^{++})/M(2^{++})$ and $M(0^{-+})/M(2^{++})$.

If the channel mixing due the tensor operator is turned on, the
situation gets worse. For instance, without channel mixing the
lightest $2^{++}$ state ($L=0$, $S=2$) has a reasonable mass. With
channel mixing, the $L=0$ component is coupled with $L=2$ and $L=4$
components for which the total spin-orbit contribution is very
attractive. The mass of this state becomes then negative, even for
realistic values of the parameters $\beta$, $\alpha_S$ and $\gamma$.

\subsection{Model II}
\label{ssec:m2}

The model II is the same as model I but with the saturated confinement
replaced by the linear confinement. The particular characteristics of
model II are:
\begin{itemize}
\item $m_K = m = 0.670$ GeV \cite{hou03};
\item $V_{\text{conf}}$ with $W_a(r)$.
\end{itemize}
This model and the previous one give essentially the same results about
the lightest mass ratios $M(0^{++})/M(2^{++})$ and
$M(0^{-+})/M(2^{++})$. Moreover,
masses around 2.4~GeV and 2~GeV are obtained for the
lightest $2^{++}$ state with $a \approx 0.12$~GeV$^2$ and
$a \approx 0.07$~GeV$^2$ respectively, quite unrealistic values of the
meson string tension.

\subsection{Model III}
\label{ssec:m3}

With the two previous models, the spin-orbit effect from the one
gluon-exchange is too attractive and cannot be
counteracted efficiently by the spin-orbit contribution coming from the
confinement. The strength of this attractive potential can be reduced by
decreasing the values of $\alpha_S$. But in this case, it is not
possible to obtain reasonable mass ratios for the lightest $0^{++}$,
$2^{++}$, and $0^{-+}$ states. Another possibility is to increase the
values of the effective mass $m$. But, if we keep the link $m_K=m$, then
too high masses are obtained for all glueballs, due to the contribution
of the kinetic part of the Hamiltonian. Fortunately, it is
physically relevant to choose $m_K \ll m$.

For a system of two identical particles with mass $m$, the coefficient
$1/m^2$ appears naturally in the relativistic corrections of a static
potential. A better approximation, proposed in Ref.~\cite{luch91} and
used for instance in Ref.~\cite{godf85}, is to replace this
coefficient by $1/E^2(\bm{p})$ where $E(\bm{p})=\sqrt{\bm{p}^2+m^2}$.

A similar procedure is also proposed within the auxiliary field
formalism (also called einbein field formalism) \cite{morg99}, which can
be considered as an approximate way to handle semirelativistic
Hamiltonians \cite{sema04}. Within this approach, the
effective QCD Hamiltonian for two identical particles (quark or gluon)
depends on the current particle mass $m$ and on a state dependent
constituent mass $\mu = \sqrt{\langle \bm{p}^2+m^2 \rangle}$
\cite{sema04}. All corrections to the static potential are then expanded
in powers of $1/\mu^2$.

We will adapt these prescriptions in the model III. In principle, the
mass appearing in the leading corrections must be replaced by the
operator $E(\bm{p})=\sqrt{\bm{p}^2+m^2}$ where $m$ is the mass appearing
in the kinetic operator. This leads to a very complicated nonlocal
potential which is very difficult to handle. So we will use an
approximation.

Following the hypotheses of Ref.~\cite{simo00}, we will assume that the
gluons are massless and that the dominant effective QCD Hamiltonian
$H_{gg}$ for a two-gluon glueball is written
\begin{equation}
\label{hgg}
H_{gg}=2 \sqrt{\bm p^2} + a_G\, r.
\end{equation}
The eigenvalues $M_{nL}$ and the constituent masses $\mu_{nL}$
corresponding to this Hamiltonian are in very good approximation given
by the following relations \cite{simo89,sema04}
\begin{equation}
\label{mu}
M_{nL} = 4 \mu_{nL} \quad \text{with} \quad
\mu_{nL} = \sqrt{a_G} \left( \frac{\epsilon_{nL}}{3} \right)^{3/4}.
\end{equation}
$\epsilon_{nL}$ is an eigenvalue of the Hamiltonian
$\bm q^2 + |\bm x|$, in which $\bm q$ and $\bm x$ are dimensionless
conjugate variables. These eigenvalues can be
accurately computed with a Lagrange-mesh method for instance
\cite{baye86}. Let us note that $\epsilon_{n0}$ is the $n$th zero of the
Airy function. These constituents masses will then appear in the leading
corrections to the dominant hamiltonian $H_{gg}$.

Finally, the particular characteristics of model III are:
\begin{itemize}
\item $m_K = 0$ and $m = \mu_{nL}$ (\ref{mu});
\item $V_{\text{conf}}$ with $W_a(r)$.
\end{itemize}
Let us note that, with our hypotheses, the constituent mass depends on
the principal quantum number $n$ of the glueball, on its orbital
momentum $L$, but not on the quantum numbers $S$ and $J$.

As mentioned before, we fix the value of the string tension only with
the mass of the lightest $2^{++}$ glueball. Equations~(\ref{mu}) show
that, in first approximation, the mass scale is simply given by
$\sqrt{a_G}$. By computing a great number
of spectra for various parameters, we have remarked that the values of
the lightest mass ratios $M(0^{++})/M(2^{++})$ and $M(0^{-+})/M(2^{++})$
cannot be fixed independently. Provided an approximate linear dependence
is kept between the two parameters $\alpha$ and $\gamma$, these mass
ratios do not change significantly. Finally, we have chosen to present
the glueball spectra for two sets of parameters.

With $a=0.16$~GeV$^2$, $\alpha_S = 0.40$, and $\gamma=0.504$~GeV$^{-2}$
(set A),
the mass of the lightest $2^{++}$ glueball is 2051~MeV, which is
close to some experimental candidates. These
values for $a$ and $\alpha_S$ are near those used in some recent baryon
calculations \cite{naro02}. Moreover, the value of the string tension is
close to a value found in a recent lattice study \cite{taka01}. With
$a=0.21$~GeV$^2$, $\alpha_S=0.50$, and $\gamma=0.495$~GeV$^{-1}$ (set
B), the mass of the lightest $2^{++}$ glueball is 2384~MeV, which is
close to a result obtained with lattice calculations. All results
are presented in table~\ref{tab1} and in Fig.~\ref{fig4} with some
results from a lattice
calculations \cite{morn99} and from a quasiparticle approach with no
free parameters \cite{szcz03}, and with some possible experimental
candidates \cite{zou99,bugg00}.

We can see that the mass ratios for the two sets of parameters are in
rather good agreement with the theoretical mass ratios predicted by the
lattice study \cite{morn99}. Moreover, the absolute masses for set B are
within the theoretical error bars of the lattice masses. The largest
discrepancy is for the first excited $0^{++}$ glueball, the state
predicted by the lattice calculations with the largest error bar.

Our mass ratios are similar to those obtained in the quasiparticle model
\cite{szcz03}, but are closer to the mass ratios of the lattice studies.
It is worth mentioning that this quasiparticle approach contains no free
parameters. Again, it favors a 2.4~GeV value for the mass of the
lightest $2^{++}$ state, like the lattice model.

The lack of reliable identification of glueballs makes comparison with
experimental data more hazardous. The set A results are in rather good
agreement with data only for the lightest $0^{++}$, $2^{++}$, and
$0^{-+}$ glueball candidates, the states used to fix the parameters. The
general tendance of our model and of lattice calculations is to predict
excited states with higher masses than those which seem to be observed.

Lattice calculations seem to rule out the presence of $1^{-+}$ and
$1^{++}$ states below 4~GeV. This can be qualitatively understood in
terms of interpolating operators of minimal dimension which can create
glueball states, with the expectation that higher dimensional operators
create higher mass states: the lowest states $0^{++}$, $2^{++}$,
$0^{-+}$ and $2^{-+}$ are produced by dimension-4 operators, while
$1^{++}$ and $1^{-+}$ are respectively produced by dimension-5 and
dimension-6 operators \cite{morn99}. Nevertheless, our model predicts
the existence of $1^{-+}$ and $1^{++}$ states around 3~GeV. In the model
of Ref.~\cite{corn83}, a $1^{-+}$ state is predicted below the $2^{++}$
state (no $1^{++}$ state is mentioned). Possible experimental candidates
exist for low mass $1^{++}$ states \cite{zou99}, but as mentioned above,
the identification is far from certain. The presence of the relatively
low mass $1^{-+}$ and $1^{++}$ states in our model may be due to the use
of massive valence gluons with three states of polarization (creation of
a spin one glueball with two massless gluons, with only two states of
polarization, is problematical). In our model III, the gluon is
massless in the kinetic part, but a constituent non-zero mass
unavoidably appears for the spin corrections \cite{simo00}. The presence
of spin one states around 3~GeV in our model could indicate what are the
limits of a potential approach.

If the spin-orbit contribution from confinement is not taken into
account, the agreement between our masses and the lattice results become
poorer. For the parameters of set A, the mass ratio for the lightest
$0^{-+}$ glueball changes from 1.06 to 0.87, and the mass ratio for the
first excited $0^{++}$ glueball changes from 1.26 to 0.83. This shows
that the spin-orbit contribution from confinement is an important
ingredient of the model.

The channel mixing due to the tensor force is difficult to implement
within this model. As $\mu$ depends on the orbital momentum, the
diagonal potential for each channel is characterized by a different
value of $\mu$. The problem is to define this parameter for the mixing
potentials. We have performed several test computations using a mean
value of $\mu$ for all channels. This gave us strong indications that
the coupling of channels has a small influence on the glueball masses,
contrary to the two previous models. We estimate that the masses of the
lightest glueballs could be modified by a quantity comprised between 50
and 100~MeV.

\section{Conclusion}
\label{sec:conc}

The masses of pure two-gluon glueballs have been studied with a
semirelativistic potential model. The potential is the sum of a
one-gluon exchange interaction and a linear confining potential, assumed
to be of scalar type. The gluon is massless but the leading corrections
of the dominant part of the Hamiltonian are expressed in terms of a
state dependent constituent mass. The Hamiltonian depends only on 3
parameters: the strong coupling constant, the string tension, and the
gluon size. This last parameter, less constrained than the two others by
the QCD theory, removes all singularities in the leading corrections of
the potential. These corrections are not treated as perturbations of
the dominant part. All masses have been accurately computed with a
Lagrange mesh method.

The masses predicted by our potential model are in agreement with
experimental glueball candidates only for the lightest $0^{++}$,
$2^{++}$, and $0^{-+}$ states \cite{zou99,bugg00}, but are in rather
good agreement with spectra obtained by a lattice calculation
\cite{morn99} and in reasonable agreement with spectra
obtained by a quasiparticle model \cite{szcz03}. A notable
difference is the presence in our model of spin one states around 3~GeV.
This could indicate the limit of the validity for a potential approach.

We have tested other nonrelativistic and semirelativistic potential
models in which a constant constituent gluon mass is used, and we have
found that it is not possible to obtain good spectra for realistic
values of the QCD parameters (see
Sec.~\ref{ssec:m1} and \ref{ssec:m2}). The main problem
arises from the strongly attractive spin-orbit potential for the
one-gluon exchange. When its strength is not reduced by a large
constituent gluon mass, it can lead to negative nonphysical glueball
mass.

The constituent gluon mass is introduced in our model by an approximate
procedure which relies on the existence of a pure linear confinement
between the gluons \cite{simo89,sema04}. A more physical ansatz should
be to define the constituent mass as a momentum dependent operator
($\sqrt{\bm{p}^2}$ for massless gluon) \cite{luch91}. It could then be
possible to take into account correctly the channel coupling due to the
tensor forces, and to use naturally a saturated confinement potential.
It could also be interesting to compute three-gluon glueball masses
within the same model. Such a work is in progress.

Supercars to continue Singapore talks at AGP
Tuesday 6th March, 2018 - 5:57pm
Singapore remains a key target for Supercars
Supercars is set to resume talks regarding a push into the Asian market with the possibility of featuring on the Singapore Grand Prix bill.
New Supercars CEO Sean Seamer is due to meet Formula 1 owners Liberty Media at the Australian Grand Prix at Albert Park (March 22-25) to further discussions.
The championship has signed five memorandum of understanding (MOU) agreements with potential venues in Asia, which was part of a move to expand into the region under former CEO James Warburton.
A chance to join the Singapore Grand Prix emerged last year after Supercars secured a deal with Formula 1 management to transform its appearance at the Australian Grand Prix into a full championship event from this year.
Malaysia's Sepang International Circuit also threw its hat into the ring for a possible standalone Supercars round last year.
Seamer, who officially started his role at Supercars last weekend, explained to Speedcafe.com that Asia and Singapore remains high on the agenda for the category, with a multi-year deal the desired option.
Speedcafe.com understands the category could be on the Marina Bay circuit bill as soon as next year if a deal is secured.
"Look, I think Asia offers a range of different things for our fans, for our sponsors and for the manufacturers too in terms of, it's in a similar time zone, there's huge audiences there," Seamer told Speedcafe.com.
"Well, James (Warburton) has signed MOUs up in Asia. The intent is there, from us and from the parties in Asia. As you know, the logistics and commercial requirements need to be sorted out to lock it down.
"We are keen to continue to explore that for all of those reasons that were strategically laid out by James.
"What we need to do is focus on a period of time that shows sustainability and commitment to the markets in the next three years or five years, but there won't be one off racing.
"Obviously it makes sense to partner with Formula 1 so we'll pick up discussions when they're over for the AGP in a couple of weeks and it'll stay on the agenda in terms of a potential growth opportunity for the sport.
"Absolutely, Singapore (is among the targets), having personally lived there and attended the event about four or five times myself It's a fantastic event, fantastic track and I think it will suit our product well.
"That will absolutely be on the agenda moving forward."
The possibility of more than one Asian event on a Supercars calendar in the future is still on the table too, according to Seamer.
"It could be back-to-back, it could be one, two, three," he added, when asked if multiple Asian events would be entertained.
"Obviously back to back makes sense from an infrastructure and travel point of view but we'll work with FOM and our partners up in Asia to find the best possible solution."
Meanwhile, increasing the amount of events in New Zealand is thought to be a tough proposition.
Supercars crosses Tasman once a year for the ITM Auckland Super Sprint at Pukekohe Park Raceway in November.
"I think it would be tough. Having the right tracks at the right standard is point one then the other challenge is making sure you have the supporting fanbase in that area," he said.
"Everything is possible but we would have to work with ATEED (Auckland Tourism, Events & Economic Development) and people like Tony Quinn (owner of Hampton Downs and Highlands) and see what is possible with the tracks."
While the championship is keen to expand into new markets, Seamer maintains the series is unlikely to grow to more than 16 events in a season.
"I think 16 events is absolutely enough and that's the feedback I've been getting from the teams today," Seamer said.
"What those 16 events look like, how we execute on them or where we execute on them, that's all up for discussion.
"The leadership team and that team owners and I will work through how we optimise that for the best possible fan and sponsor experience the next couple of years."

LAUSD Expands Magnet Offerings As Application Period Opens
by October 6, 2016 March 1, 2021
The application period has began for the Los Angeles Unified School District's (LAUSD) popular magnet schools and centers, which next fall will add nearly a dozen new options for families seeking a specialized education.
Applications will be accepted online and by mail until 5 p.m., Nov. 10, for one of the 225 district-themed magnets, which will have an estimated 87,000 available seats for the 2017-18 school year.
There are two new Valley area schools that will be accepting applications for the 2017-18 academic year — Hale Charter Academy, a middle school in Woodland Hills, and Mount Gleason Middle School in Sunland.
"This year marks the 40th anniversary of our magnet programs, which offer innovative, high-quality instruction to all students," said Superintendent Michelle King. "I encourage our families to learn more about our robust magnet programs. We are proud of the work our schools are doing to bring these exciting opportunities to students across the entire district."
Magnets were created in 1976, when LAUSD complied with court-ordered desegregation by creating a voluntary busing program that uses special academic programs to draw students to schools outside of their neighborhoods. The district now provides transportation to elementary students who live outside a two-mile radius and secondary students who live farther than five miles from the magnet.
Some magnets operate as a self-contained school, while others may share a campus with a traditional school or other magnet programs.
Magnet students are chosen through a complex lottery system, which assigns them points based on the demographics of their home school and other factors. Despite the core goal of integration, the academic innovation and success of magnets have made them popular among parents and students seeking a nontraditional education.
Programs known as STEM or STEAM — science, technology, engineering, arts and math — are also becoming increasingly popular. Eight of the 11 new programs for next fall are designated as STEAM programs, while Angeles Mesa Elementary School created a variation of the STEAM theme dubbed DREAMS – design, research, engineering, arts, math and science.
"Schools apply to be magnets, and they base their theme on the demand of their students and families," said Keith Abrahams, executive director of Student Integrated Services, which falls under the Division of Instruction. "Because the number of STEM and STEAM-related careers has increased drastically over the years, we are trying hard to create K-12 pathways so that students can pursue their passion and their dreams."
Some of the Valley area schools accepting applications that are charter or have magnet programs include Chavez LA ArTES, Frost Middle School, Haskell Elementary School, Pacoima Middle School, San Fernando High School, Sun Valley Middle School, and Vena Elementary School.
The magnet brochure and application are available at echoices.lausd.net; at district schools, Local Districts and the Parent, Community and Student Services Branch office; and at public libraries. A complete list of magnet programs is also available on echoices.laud.net.
Local Districts are also hosting magnet fairs this month, where families can obtain more information about the magnet options.

Humor RPG Serious Sports
A professional wrestler grapples with more than physical opponents in this tale.
With supernatural beings clamoring for control of our protagonist...will he be able to get his life on track, advance his career, and keep from losing his mind?
Only time will tell!
(This game has a mix of action, humor, romance, and moral decisions with a modern day setting with paranormal themes.)
**This is my 1st game, so any input would be greatly appreciated. Any questions or comments...send them my way! Hope you enjoy it!**
There are 4 ranked endings for each character. 2 Top Contender endings and 2 Champion endings for each. For the ultimate completionist...you'll need to beat the game 6 times!
Wow! :D I'm not a fan of wrestling or anything, but this storygame was certainly entertaining. ^-^
You had a good storyline with all the right points. Though, you didn't build up much suspense. I wasn't excited for the Championship, and it didn't seem like the character did anything toward winning the championship except conquering/not conquering his inner demon.
While you have great dialogue, your descriptions are a bit lacking. Oftentimes in the story, I would find myself lost - WHERE is the protagonist? What's around him? You did have a few brief sentences here and there, but that picture wasn't painted. I didn't have a good idea of what the setting looks like.
Vixen seemed to be simply an object of affections. When going to the movies and having dinner, I had no idea how to imagine her. While you wrote that Will had a nice time, it didn't really feel that way. You did a lot of direct characterization for Vixen, and it doesn't really tell me much about her.
Will and the inner demon was an interesting idea. Though, I think the idea of directly "choosing" if he overcomes his inner demon defeats the point of it. The inner demon is supposed to come out when the character lacks control, not when the character "chooses". Obviously, one would choose to overcome them (both ways are a good read).
The fighting was linear, as mentioned in the other comment(s). I understood how it worked - the Champ's impression of Will gets better the longer he lasts - but it made it a bit annoying to have to go back. Also, you gave a small description of each of the moves sometimes. Try giving descriptions every time because I have no idea what they are! I ended up having to randomly choose between two choices, which makes thinking about the best tactic pointless.
Otherwise, your grammar, spelling, and dialogue is excellent. You have some action scenes and some contemplative scenes. Your writing is good, but just work on descriptions. Your storyline fits together nicely and works well as a complete story.

The game is certantly good, but there is one major drawback that stops it from getting a 7/8.
The battle scenes are completely linear. It's either good move or bad move, and it doesn't allow for more events. I'd suggest using a scripting mechanic to factor health, and allowing for more then one move to work. Other then that, the game is great, especially for wrestling fans. Not one myself, but I have a friend who'd enjoy this game immensely.

Piledriver...
The story was great and the details, particularly in the wrestling battles, were more than enough. However, it derailed me from giving higher reviews because it was too short. But still, you deserve a decent rating for that good effort, which although did not become the best story, also did not become the worst story.

Well, an intriguing story to say the least! A bit linear in some places with the choices which made me disconnect from the story. I believe an indication about the "demon" should've been made much earlier. Overall, it was still enjoyable.

Involve: Working for a more inclusive society
Involve is the main provider of youth work services to young Travellers, and young people from marginalised backgrounds, in Ireland.
Involve - Working for a more inclusive society
The organisation manages and supports seven youth projects in Galway, Mayo, Donegal and Meath, engaging with over 1,500 young people aged between 10 and 25 every week. One such project in Meath has participated in Erasmus+, an EU-funded programme that offers the chance to study, train, volunteer or get work experience in another European country.
"Erasmus+ saw some young Irish people obtain their first Irish passport, go on a plane, leave their country and for some, leave their families for the first time," says Kay McCabe, Senior Project Worker at Involve Youth Project in Meath.
Erasmus+ is managed in Ireland by Léargas. Kay says this support is vital in helping to tackle social exclusion in the travelling community and marginalised communities,
"It's vital because we are still the only Traveller youth project taking on youth exchanges and European Solidarity Corps programme opportunities. Without the support, we never would have taken the Erasmus+ plunge."
Kay says through the exchanges, young people explored what it meant to be a young person in Europe, but also what the label of Irish Traveller meant to them.
"We have seen the eyes of 'tough' 16-year-old Traveller boys light up while on a bus, driving through the cities in Spain, or the delight at trying to surf in Portugal."
One of Involve's staff, who is a member of the travelling community, was also part of a group of youth workers who worked in conjunction with National Youth Council of Ireland, and several other European partners, on a toolkit called'Outside In'. Kay says,
"This helps combat hate speech on all levels. Being from an ethnic minority group, it was very important to have our staff member's voice heard on this issue.
"Another young person, who was from a high-deprivation area, lost her father to suicide. She says that being supported by Involve has helped her get through one of the hardest times in her life. She is now going into her second year of college to become a youth worker."
Kay says the project was all about mental health for young Travellers and the importance of coping skills and seeking help.
"Our group also devised their own mental health campaign for young Travellers called 'No Shame'.
"Erasmus+ will open the minds and possibilities to the travelling community, by the wider community seeing what positive things young Travellers are capable of. It will make our society more inclusive."

Well written, descriptive and colorful writing from this author about love and it's unpredictable journey. It ended exactly the way I wanted but feared with all the twists and turns that the author would have chosen a different ending. It does pay to follow your heart and believe in what you know is true especially in the misguided attempts of friends and family to protect you. Great job!
In order to read my review on this book, please visit my blog at maryokekereviews.
The fact the action is always renewed in this book took my attention. I swear what happened to the girl who have been poisoned make me so sad that I spend and entire day to mourn with them. Just to say how the writer make you felt like you were in the novel to. She push you into. After the end of this book, i felt like a mess didn't know what to do with my self because i wanted more more more love stories and that's how i hear taking all good mark of books here .

Who Needs an RC Plane When You Can Make a KFC Plane?
There's nothing better than some delicious KFC wings, except maybe using KFC chicken buckets in place of wings. Peter Sripol decided to use empty KFC buckets to build a functional RC plane. As crazy as it sounded, it worked.
The plane's functionality comes from a physics concept called the Magnus Effect. Simply put, the Magnus Effect says that the force put on a rapidly spinning spherical or cylindrical object will travel in a parabolic arc. It curves away from its flight path. If you're a basketball fan, then you're already familiar with the Magnus effect. Most players utilize it throughout the game to put just the right amount of spin on the ball, especially at the free throw line.
Sripol's plane design uses the same principle on its cylindrical wings. While the KFC buckets might not be the most efficient when it comes to aspect ratio and proportions, the idea is certainly entertaining.
If you want to know more about Sripol's building process, watch the entire 18-minute video. (You'll also get some pretty great puns thrown in.) However, if you just want to watch the flight trials, start at the 10-minute mark.

Q: How to implement atomic compare and swap using 'cmpxchg8b' assembly instruction in c? I am trying to implement a lock free linked list. For that I need to implement atomic compare and swap instruction using inline assembly in C. I do know that I need to use the cmpxchg8b instruction for x86, however I am not able to do it.
My node structure is as follows:
typedef struct node
{
    int data;
    struct node * next;
    struct node * backlink;
}node_lf;

The struct node * next pointer also holds additional information in the last 2 bits (mark and flag bits)
The compare and swap I need to implement is like this:
node_lf *cs (cs_arg * address, cs_arg *old_val, cs_arg *new_val )
{
    node_lf *value = (address->node)->next;
    if ((address->node->next) == old_val->node)
    {
        (address->node)->next = new_val->node;
    }
    return value;
}

The cs_arg struct is as follows:
typedef struct csArg
{
    node_lf * node;
}cs_arg;

My implementation:
static inline node_lf* cs(cs_arg * address, cs_arg *old_val, cs_arg *new_val)
{
    node_lf * value;
    __asm__ __volatile__("lock cmpxchg8b %0; "
                :"=q"(value)
                :"a"(address->node->next), "b"(old_val->node), "c"(new_val->node)
                :"memory");
    return value;
}

This gives an error message:
../list.c:86: Error: operand type mismatch for 'cmpxchg8b'
make: *** [list.o] Error 1
Please help me to solve this problem.

A: Let's take this one step at a time.  First of all, let's trying using __sync_val_compare_and_swap in a simple case:
#include <stdio.h>

typedef struct node
 {
    int data;
    struct node * next;
    struct node * backlink;
 }node_lf;

int cs1(node_lf *address, int old_val, int new_val)
{
    int *p2 = &address->data;
    int p3 = __sync_val_compare_and_swap(p2, old_val, new_val);

    return p3;
}

int main()
{
   node_lf n;

   n.data = 17;

   int res = cs1(&n, 1, 2);
   printf("Old Value: %d  Cur Value: %d\n", res, n.data);

   res = cs1(&n, 17, 2);
   printf("Old Value: %d  Cur Value: %d\n", res, n.data);
}

So, the code here is pretty simple.  We are manipulating node.data.  We start by initializing it to 17.  Then we try to do a cas to change it to 2.  However, in the first call, we give the incorrect value for oldval (1 vs 17).  As a result, __sync_val_compare_and_swap (correctly!) does not perform the swap, but does return the current value.  The second call, which does give the correct old value, does perform the swap and returns the old value.
So, when run we get:
Old Value: 17  Cur Value: 17 <- Didn't change the value
Old Value: 17  Cur Value: 2  <- Did change the value

Simple enough, but not quite what you are looking for.  Let's bring it a bit closer:
#include <stdio.h>

typedef struct node
 {
    int data;
    struct node * next;
    struct node * backlink;
 }node_lf;

typedef struct csArg
{
    node_lf * node;
}cs_arg;

node_lf *cs2(node_lf *address, const cs_arg *old_val, const cs_arg *new_val)
{
    unsigned long long *p2 = (unsigned long long *)&address->next;
    unsigned long long p3 = __sync_val_compare_and_swap (p2, (unsigned long long)old_val->node, (unsigned long long)new_val->node);

    return (node *)p3;
}

int main()
{
   node_lf n;
   cs_arg oldval, newval;

   n.next = (node *)18;
   oldval.node = (node *)1;
   newval.node = (node *)2;

   node *res2 = cs2(&n, &oldval, &newval);
   printf("Old Value: %p  Cur Value: %p\n", res2, n.next);

   oldval.node = (node *)18;
   res2 = cs2(&n, &oldval, &newval);
   printf("Old Value: %p  Cur Value: %p\n", res2, n.next);
}

In this case, we are trying to update node.next, by using the nodes in 2 cs_args.  The main thing to note here is that since __sync_val_compare_and_swap works on integral types, we need to cast the pointers to be an appropriately-sized int.  The assumption here is we are using a 64bit compiler, so pointers are 8 bytes (the same as unsigned long long).
There isn't really any need to use a cs_arg structure here.  Using node* should work fine.  But you used it, so presumably there is some long-term plan here.
Running this we see:
Old Value: 0000000000000012  Cur Value: 0000000000000012  <- Didn't change the value
Old Value: 0000000000000012  Cur Value: 0000000000000002  <- Did change the value

Note that it is possible to bump this up to 16 bytes (using __int128 and cmpxchg16b) if you are running x64.  However, there are some tricks to be aware of.  For example, the data must be 16byte aligned (which node.next is NOT).
Now, having done all that, your requirement that you "need the old value of address->node->next as a return value" seems suspect.  Looking at the code above, how can you tell if the cas failed?  If it works it returns 18, and if it fails it returns 18.  Since that's what you said you wanted, that's what I tried to provide.
But I assume you do want to know if it worked (possibly in order to try again).  Such being the case, perhaps something more like this:
#include <stdio.h>

typedef struct node
 {
    int data;
    struct node * next;
    struct node * backlink;
 }node_lf;

bool cs2(node_lf *address, const node *old_val, const node *new_val)
{
    unsigned long long *p2 = (unsigned long long *)&address->next;
    return __sync_bool_compare_and_swap (p2, (unsigned long long)old_val, (unsigned long long)new_val);
}

int main()
{
   node_lf n;
   node *oldval, *newval;

   n.next = (node *)18;
   oldval = (node *)1;
   newval = (node *)2;

   bool res2;

   do {

      printf("Trying to change %p from %p to %p: ", n.next, oldval, newval);
      res2 = cs2(&n, oldval, newval);
      printf("Worked: %d  Cur Value: %p\n", res2, n.next);
      if (res2)
         break;

      oldval = n.next;
   } while (1);
}

When you exit the loop, oldval will be what was there before (has to be or the cas would have failed), newval will be what actually got written.  Note that if this truly were multi-threaded, there is no guarantee that newval would be the same as n.next, since another thread could already have come along and changed it again.
While using assembler may be able to save you an instruction or two, the win in terms of readability, maintainability, portability, etc is almost certainly worth the cost.
Unless this is a class project where the teacher requires inline asm.  In that case, look at https://stackoverflow.com/a/37825052/2189500.


Several states in the US led by New Jersey are attempting to legislate a ban on software outsourcing to leading destinations like India.
Missouri, Maryland, Wisconsin, Connecticut and Washington are tther states contemplating such a move.
The US invasion of Iraq has dampened sentiments further. Software leaders in India have been quoted as saying that the US was in confrontationist mode and that its 'Big Brother' attitude would hurt the global economy. Trade barriers were likely to go up as a result of the war.
The bill was taken up for discussion by the Senate Committee in the first week of March but could not be passed. It is now on hold and is likely to be discussed in the Senate again in May. It is likely to face renewed criticism from its main targets in the Indian IT sector.
Canadian proponent of free software and internet consultant Russell McOrmond said it would difficult for the US to turn protectionist. He said, "The US has been promoting trade liberalisation for too long to try to turn around now. They have become as dependent on the world economy as they have tried to make the world economy dependent on them".
According to the US portal H1B.info which monitors the software industry: "The high-tech job market isn't getting much better and there are no signs that it will recover any time soon. Unemployment is about eight percent in Silicon Valley which means one in 12 people are unemployed, and the national unemployment rate is six percent. Some economists are even predicting a fourth down year".
To make matters worse, new projects that could have propped up the IT economy in the United States have been outsourced, mainly to India. Ireland and Israel are the other two key software destinations but not big enough to merit a ban.
The reason is pretty simple. Nasscom figures indicate that the cost of an Indian IT employee is a mere $5880 per year. The Philippines follows with $6800. Others including Israel, Canada and South Africa are more expensive.
In other words, the wheel has turned full circle. Right through the IT age in the early 1980's through the boom in the '90s until 1998, thousands of vacancies opened up in the US providing tremendous opportunities for software personnel. There were not enough qualified people to man the jobs, so companies looked abroad. This triggered an exodus from countries like India, mainly to the USA. Immigration laws were loosened and the number of Indians allowed entry on six-year work permit visas rocketed from 65,000 to 195,000 per year.
context, is a reflection of widespread frustration among IT personnel out of jobs and facing an unsure future.
Critics of the Bill say that software outsourcing is the logical outcome of free trade policies.
Can it be put in abeyance just because free trade is inconvenient to US interests in this case? NASSCOM had already begun interacting with key legislators and policy makers to remind them of the benefits accruing to the US economy from outsourcing to India.
In a climate of recession, where companies tend to cut corners and keep budgets tight, top managements see outsourcing as the only way forward. In the final analysis, the bill may not have any significant impact on India since currently, the total business coming to India from government outsourcing is minimal and less than 0.5 percent. "But, we are more concerned about the nature of the Bill as it is against the spirit of free trade," reiterates Mehta.


Every year in India almost enormous numbers of students are graduating in the field of Electronics and communication or other electrical courses from different locations and look for the List Of Electrical Companies In Bangalore if they passed from there. Among those graduated students some students join IT Industries and stayed happy by writing codes. some good and remarkable students go for higher education, and some leave this country to find some better opportunities, rest start business and forms a company.So we bring you the List of electrical companies in Bangalore.
Core companies are the ones that specialize in particular sectors and are highly valued for their level of expertise and professionalism in their respective areas of operation. Examples of such companies include L & T, BHEL, NTPC, Coal India, Reliance etc. These companies offer jobs in core areas of engineering such as mechanical, electrical or infrastructure sector. Working in a core company involves direct application of your academic subjects. So we bring you the List of electrical companies in Bangalore.
This is actually wrong. In India, many good companies are ready to provide proper placement in the field of Electronics or Electrical. But the actual fact is students start studying electronics or electrical with full of interest but at last, they lost their interest in this field and rush for getting a job faster. So we here bring you the List of electrical companies in Bangalore.
These companies are critical to the economic growth of the country. Thus, they ensure greater stability and job security to the employees.

Hershey's Medal of Honor
One of the Korean War's Most Closely Guarded Military Secrets!
The young Army Corporal waited nervously for the guards to arrive. He looked one more time at the barren walls and desolation around him, the meager facilities in which he had struggled for survival for the last 28 months....a North Korean prisoner of war camp. For a change the approach of the guards would be a welcomed sight, Hiroshi Miyamura was finally going home.
Life in a POW Camp
Life in the POW camp had been hard. It wasn't only that food and shelter had been so primitive, it was the added pain of torture and constant brain washing. "Hershey", as young Miyamura was called, had watched many of his fellow soldiers die slow, painful deaths at the hands or the neglect of their captors. His own body was suffering from dysentery and he had lost 50 pounds, a horrible loss to a man already small in stature. As a Japanese- American soldier, the North Koreans had held a special hate for the young man from Gallup, New Mexico. Now, at last, Hershey felt he had survived their hatred and torture and would finally see his young wife and family once again.
It wasn't Hershey's first war, he had been called to duty back in 1944 at a time when many Japanese-Americans were prisoners in their own Nation--deprived of their homes and possessions--interred in "relocation camps". Determined to prove their loyalty to the United States, some of these young soldiers had established an incredible reputation as brave soldiers in Europe. By the time the war ended the Nisei 442nd Infantry Regiment had tallied an incredible 47 Distinguished Service Crosses, 354 Silver Stars, and over 3,600 Purple Hearts. Sadao Munemori had exemplified the patriotism and courage of the young Nisei, sacrificing his life for his native United States and earning the Medal of Honor. Nisei were Americans born to immigrant Japanese families.
Back to War
Hershey hadn't seen action in World War II, however. Five days before his troop transport was to land in Italy the war ended. Hershey was proud to come home with the valiant 442nd, returned to his native Gallup and a waiting job as an auto mechanic, and a stint in the Army reserves. He married his sweetheart in June 1948, just before his enlistment in the reserves was to end. And then, fully aware that a re-enlistment would probably call him to active duty, Hershey made the choice to continue serving his country.
At 4:00 A.M. on Sunday, 25 June 1950 almost 100,000 North Korean soldiers crossed the 38th parallel into South Korea. Within days the fall of the democratic southern nation seemed imminent, reprieved only by the September 15th amphibious landing of MacArthur's troops at Inchon. China responded first with threats, then on November 26th with the sudden swarm of 200,000 "volunteer" Chinese Communist troops across the Yalu River. Watching from too close a distance was a machine-gun squad led by the young Nisei from Gallup. "I could see them swarming across the river through my binoculars," Hershey recounted. He and his squad withdrew with time running out and managed to catch the last ship departing Hungnam before the Communists swooped upon and destroyed the town.
Over the following months Hershey's squad was moved from place to place, unit to unit, in support of different infantry elements. As historian Edward Murphy recounts, "Like most front line soldiers, he had little idea of where he was and what role he and his unit played in the war. All he knew was what he was told by his platoon leaders." (From KOREAN WAR HEROES by Edward F. Murphy)
Pivotal Invasion
Hershey had been in the field almost continually for seven months as the joint United Nations Forces were driving to retake Seoul. During the darkness of night on April 22, 1951 the Chinese attacked in force along the Imjin River. By dawn the swarming enemy had overwhelmed the defending forces and the Americans began to withdraw across the river. Hershey's squad of less than a dozen machine gunners and five riflemen was ordered to take up defensive positions on a nearby hill. No one expected them to last long, just to delay the inevitable onslaught of the enemy forces. That onslaught came with bugles and whistles on the night of April 24th.
For hours the enemy poured over the hill in waves. Manning his machine-gun in the face of the horrible assault Corporal Miyamura watched as the sheer force of numbers combined with deadly rifle fire and exploding grenades began to decimate his squad. As the remnants of his squad struggled for survival the young corporal noticed a mounting force to his flank. Without hesitation he jumped from his shelter to attack with his bayonet, incredibly overtaking 10 or more of the enemy and buying his embattled soldiers a few more precious moments. Then, returning to his soldiers, he began treating their wounds and directing their evacuation.
Suddenly another wave swarmed the position. The brave young corporal returned to his 30-caliber machine-gun to rain effective fire on the encroaching horde until his ammunition was gone. His squad almost annihilated, he ordered the remaining men to withdraw to safety while he set about disabling the machine-gun before it could be captured by the enemy. Then, as they swarmed over his position, he literally bayoneted his way through them to reach a second gun emplacement. From this position he ordered the remaining Americans on the hill to withdraw while he covered them with effective fire. It was the last he ever saw of his men, or they of him.
Wave after wave was thrown against the hill now held by a single machine gunner. When finally he could hold out no longer, Corporal Miyamura sought shelter in a covered bunker. The area in front of the machine-gun he had left behind was littered with the bodies of more than 50 enemy, tribute to one soldier's determination to hold them at bay while his men pulled back. But it was only the beginning of a long night for what may have been the only living American on the hill, surrounded by thousands of fanatical Chinese Communists. Wounded, he struggled to return to safety, engaging chance encounters with the enemy in desperate hand-to-hand combat. By dawn the exhausted corporal found himself playing dead in a ditch as literally hundreds of enemy walked past his prostrate form. One of them, a Chinese officer, was not fooled by the bloodied body laying so still along the road. Hershey was captured and sent to a prisoner of war camp where the worst of his ordeal began.
POW Camp
For twenty-eight months he struggled to survive, to defeat the captors who did their best to break his spirit and his mind. For more than a year his family knew nothing of his situation, knew not whether he was dead or alive, for the Chinese had not released news of his status as a Prisoner of War. Throughout the long days and the lonely nights when he wasn't thinking of home, Hershey thought of his men. His squad had been ripped away from him the sheer force of overwhelming numbers. Unaware that, due his own courage, many had reached the safety of the American lines, the corporal believed they were either all wounded or dead. He wanted to be home but his thoughts of home were tainted by the prospects of his future. At times he was certain in his own mind that if he ever did return it would be to face a courts martial for losing so many of his men.
And now that long awaited moment of truth had arrived. It was August 23, 1953 and Hershey had been escorted by his captors to make his way through the crowd of returning POW's at Freedom Village near Panmunjom. From the waiting officials surrounding them Hershey heard a strong voice inquire, "Are you Corporal Hiroshi H. Miyamura?"
Looking up the soldier in prison uniform saw the crisp image of a United States Army General Officer. The moment of truth had arrived and, he thought, momentarily the MP's would arrive to take him into custody to await his long dreaded courts martial. But there was no avoiding the truth. Even among the tattered remains of the returning POW's the young Nisei stood out, so he finally nodded in affirmative. To his amazement the general extended his hand with the stunning announcement, "Congratulations. You've been awarded the Medal of Honor".
For young Corporal Miyamura that statement was more than amazing...it was unbelievable. Just as the Chinese had held the secret of Miyamura's capture for more than a year, the United States Army had maintained a secret about the young soldier for the 28 months of his imprisonment. Later Corporal Miyamura was told the reason. Had the Chinese captors known of his award, "You might not be here, alive, today."
MOH Recognition
Two months later on October 27, 1953 Army Sergeant Hiroshi H. Miyamura visited the White House as a guest of honor. President Dwight D. Eisenhower shook his hand and placed our Nation's highest honor around the neck of the Japanese- American boy from Gallup, New Mexico.

A Elevated Boxing Ring, built by PROLAST, will be the finest boxing ring you could ever own. Our professionally made in USA unique design is many times stronger than that of other manufacturers. We use super strong structural steel in all of our rings, while others use thin wall steel tubing. Our quick, no bolt, assembly process assures you that you can sit this ring up and take it down quickly and easily and transport or store your ring for the next event.
Our Boxing Rings are in some of the world's largest and most famous arenas, casinos, and training centers. Our Boxing Rings have been featured in many movies, TV shows, commercials, and events all across the world!
No one can offer you a better ring, at any price. We are the actual manufacturer and distributor, so you are buying WHOLESALE Factory Direct.
Our Made in USA Boxing Ring padding - 1" thick 2.2 lb. density EVA approved padding in larger sheets - easier to install & use. No need to tape down.
We build our Elevated Boxing Rings for use with plywood flooring, not 2"x12" boards. While it is cheaper to build a ring for use with 2"x12" boards, using our tongue and grooved flooring is a much better surface for competition. Our Boxing Ring has more cross members (floor joists) which makes our ring twice as strong as any others. Plus, we use a stronger steel frame to start with. The use of our engineered tongue and grooved plywood gives you a super smooth and perfectly flat, as well as a silent ring floor.
You can buy the ring, from us, without the wood flooring, and purchase your plywood locally, but, If you get the wood flooring from us, we offer a tongue and grooved, manmade, flooring that is 100% waterproof and will never bow or warp, making it the perfect ring floor.
This Boxing Ring is being used in the world's largest arenas in championship fights. When you purchase this Elevated Boxing Ring from us, you are getting the very same ring that we built for MGM GRAND, and Madison Square Gardens, one of the world's most famous boxing venues.
Additionally, our ring is the easiest ring to assemble and take down, making it the best choice for promoters. A small ring crew of 2 people can easily have the ring sit up in 1 hour. In fact one person can sit this ring up. Made in USA from thread to finish!


I have had a passionate love affair with climbing trees since I was a kid. I don't have an issue with heights. I have major issues with falling from heights but where trees and tree houses are concerned I can make a few exceptions.
I was checking out the property rental site Airbnb, just nosing around looking for interesting options in places to stay when I stumbled upon their treehouse section. Really? Could I rent a tree house for the night or even a few nights? Sign me up.
In the privacy of my place closer to the clouds, I could contemplate the big problems in life such as "is treehouse one word or should it be tree house two words". Believe it or not, the Internet is having an argument about that.
I found three really cool tree houses in Louisiana that I'd consider renting.
The first is a beautiful Cedar Treehouse on Cross Lake near Shreveport. It costs $135 a night on weekends. The property it sits on is surrounded on two sides by water and it looks like a great couples getaway destination.
The second is a Lofted Treehouse Cabin in the Woods near Covington. Oh my, this is so gorgeous. It can accommodate six guests, has one and a half bathrooms, and could be your weekend getaway for as little as $150 per night.
The third property comes complete with wild animals and the feel of an African safari. It's an African Safari in Louisiana near Moreauville. Moreauville is in Avoyelles Parish near Marksville and Paragon Casino. The property boasts lots of room for lots of people and plenty of exotic animals close by. The rental price begins at $225 a night.
So, that's just three of the really cool treehouses I found in Louisiana that you can rent for a night, a weekend, or an extended stay. If you're like me and love to go out on a limb when you travel then you should really check these places out.

Q: Gold tag badge icon missing on mobile web On questions that get closed by the dupe-hammer, the fold tags badge doesn't show up nicely inside its box on the mobile site.
Here's an example question.
Also, when a moderator closes, just a little space after the diamond might improve visibility.
