Girls Rock! This is a group for anyone that wants to support girls and women throughout the Bay Area and beyond who perform live music. Solo or in a band, whether they sing or play an instrument as long as they rock!! To be clear, rock means yes, rock music. However, if they perform "any" kind of music that is amazing, touches people and creates community, then it also rocks! There are so many talented female musicians in the San Francisco Bay Area. I happen to be one of them, that's why I started this group.

COVID's Pendulum
By i.am.georgia.harris on January 15, 2021 in Designing Ecological Landscapes, Developing Healthy Landscapes, Landscape Design, Landscaping for Wildlife, Native Plants, Wildlife Habitats
By Trevor Smith
Goodbye 2020 and good riddance!!! Though we are not out of the woods yet, I couldn't help but feel a weight lifted as the ball fell at the stroke of midnight. 2020 started like any other year, with hope and possibility. Many of my friends held high expectations and ambitions for expanding their careers and areas of expertise.
After a few short months away from the landscape, I was ready for the start of another season. There was still that stack of books I never got around to reading, and those Spanish and imaging classes would have to be put on hold…again. Still, I had an excellent offseason teaching Regenerative Land Design and National Green Infrastructure Certification Program (NGICP) classes. After all that time in the classroom, I was ready to get dirty again. As February melted into March, I had that familiar "Oh s***!" feeling in my stomach. The anticipation of a new season combined with knowing how crazy things were about to get felt like I was on a rollercoaster about to hit that big drop. All I could do was hold on as the world rushed past. Little did we know that drop would be less like a rollercoaster and more akin to Niagara Falls.
Creating a water feature oasis where there was once only an unruly rock outcropping.
Overnight COVID went from something to watch out for, like a low spot in a lawn, to an Alice in Wonderland rabbit hole. Tumbling head over heels, suddenly the season was canceled, then back on, then maybe, then whoosh….
"Comfortably Connected" Outdoor lounge furniture that gives you the comfort of a chaise with all the healing benefits of connecting with the earth.
Next thing I know, the entire green industry is careening along in what felt more like white water rapids rather than the normal spring rollercoaster. And the momentum kept on and on until June came and went. Then July, then August. It didn't stop. There was no time to catch your breath. September. Wait, what happened to August??? October. Wait, did I order bulbs? November. Cleanups???? I still have a fall planting…. Happy New Year!!! What the hell just happened?
The fears I had of losing a month initially while the state figured out if the industry was essential or not were quickly lost. I had over 250 consultations between April and November and sent out just under 300 proposals. And it kept on and on from spring into summer, with no time to catch my breath. Our industry saw the largest boom it has ever seen. This season eclipsed (at least for me) the boom after 911 when everyone was nesting. But with this sudden boom came a concerning lack of supplies that only added to the unrelenting sense of urgency. Nursery stock was running out or low. Building materials like lumber were "hopefully arriving sometime next week." Whoever heard of a paving company running out of stock? Even so, the final balance as the season wrapped up looked very good, especially considering we were planning on taking a loss in April.
The sounds and sites of a backyard water feature give clients a release from staring at screens all day.
The forced summer at home had many people looking at their homes and yards. I proposed more patios this year than the past two combined. Clients told me, "We are using the money we saved on daycare," or "Well, we obviously aren't going on vacation this year, so we figured we'd put the money into the house." With the vaccine rollout creeping along and the new predictions for returning to a new normal pointing to early fall, I expect to see another bumper 2021 season in the landscape industry.
Plant the change you wish to see in the world. Native meadow mix.
"You are doing something right…" keystone indicator species found in a client's garden.
As the ball drops a year from now and we say goodbye to 2021, the COVID pendulum will begin its descent in the other direction. Everyone's fervent attention on creating a perfect at-home living space will quickly change to getting the hell out of there. The way I'm looking at it, I think the 2022 season is going to be pretty quiet. Except for maintenance, of course. Everyone on vacation will need upkeep for their brand-new home and garden features.
Sculpture, texture, and food for monarchs common milkweed (Asclepias syriaca) has it all.
This is not meant to sound foreboding, and I may be wrong. These are just my musings. These thoughts have come to me now that the world has stopped spinning, and I begin to make sense of what happened. It is our job to look into the future and design for these unforeseen conditions. We need to be aware of the COVID pendulum's return and watch for its backswing much as we would watch for wires overhead when siting a tree. For now, I welcome winter's respite and look forward to all the promise and possibility 2021 has to offer.
Beauty in nature abounds, it is always present no manner how quickly we think the world is spinning.

Disturbing Trends
by TC Luoma | September 21, 2001 August 18, 2019
The horror...the horror....
Heck, Kurtz from the new version of Apocalypse Now doesn't have anything on me. Sure, sure, he had all that Vietnam angst and Dennis Hopper's head on a tray, but I betcha' that he hasn't walked into a typical gym or health club lately and seen what I have to look at nearly every single day.
Here are some trends that I find particularly disturbing:
Baby got back, complete with herniated discs – What's more common than stroke mags in a sperm bank? Back injuries, but the latter isn't nearly as entertaining.
Ever wonder why this keeps happening to lifters? Is it a problem of technique? Is it nature's way of telling us that we should never have learned to walk erect; that the only time we should get up on our hind legs, let alone put a weight on our shoulders – is to get the can of corn off the top shelf? Well, either of those conditions might be true, but it's my experience that back problems occur from a couple of easily fixable, self-imposed physiological shortcomings.
Most prominently, few of us have ever worked our Transversus Abdominus muscle, let alone heard of it. If you read Paul Chek's article in the current issue, you'd know that the TA muscle is a band of muscles that lies underneath the rectus abdominus. It literally wraps around your midsection like the corset your granny used to wear.
This muscle, when activated, stabilizes the torso and helps protect the spine while lifting.
If you contract your belly button to your spine, you're activating the transversus abdominus. Trouble is, few of us ever activate the sucker for any length of time. As such we've lost control of it. It no longer fires like it's supposed to, and while we're doing squats and dead lifts, it's sitting there reading this month's issue of Modern Back Injury and laughing its fibrous ass off.
As a result, the spine and its associated muscles get little or no protection, resulting in debilitating back injuries.
If you want to learn how to bring this dormant muscle back to life, you need to work it. Rather than go into a lengthy description of how to exercise it, I'll just refer you to The Lost Secret of Ab Training, by Don Alessi.
The second biggest contributor to back problems is tight hamstrings. The hams pull the pelvis into retroversion and thereby straighten out the lordosis or curvature of the lumbar spine, but if they're too tight, this effect is magnified. A straight spine can't absorb or distribute shock, thus leaving the spine open to injury when doing weight-loaded exercises.
We've briefly addressed hamstring stretches before, but if you really want to do this right, buy one of Ian's tapes or a good book on stretching.
Too much balls – The Swiss Ball is a great little tool. You can use it as an impromptu chair, for doing a bunch of cool stretches, or as props in your new circus act. Most importantly, however, is how it functions to increase stabilizer strength. It's an unstable surface, so muscles struggle to maintain order while gravity tries to pull you off-balance.
Often, spending a few weeks doing dumbbell presses off a Swiss Ball will translate into increased strength on a real bench. Likewise, proper use of the ball can lead to increased agility and neural efficiency, both which have a great carryover to sport.
The trouble is, I'm seeing trainees who use the Swiss Ball for nearly everything, all the time. I've even seen trainers have their clients do Smith Machine bench presses while being supported by a Swiss Ball. How crazy is that? They've given the client an ordinarily unstable surface so that the stabilizer muscles will be brought into play, but since they're pushing against a bar that moves in a fixed plane, they've negated the whole purpose and function of the Swiss Ball! How dopey is that?
Look at it this way: the stabilizers are often the weakest link in any movement. If the small muscles in the shoulder are weak, your bench press or shoulder press will fail long before the prime movers will. As such, using the Swiss Ball will build those small stabilizer muscles up, thus allowing you to go heavier in the big lifts.
However, the stabilizer muscles will always be the weakest link, no matter how much time you spend on the Swiss Ball. So, when you do heavy movements on an unstable surface – like that provided by the Swiss Ball – the stabilizer muscles will always fail first, thus preventing you from using the kind of loads you need to maximally build the prime movers.
The best way to use the ball, in my humble opinion, is during specific training cycles when your intensity is low. That way, the stabilizers will stay strong and when you go to heavy ground-based work, they won't fail you and you'll be able to thoroughly stress the prime movers into further growth.
He's not mentally deficient, just super slow – My local paper, and, if I remember correctly, a recent copy of Men's Journal, dedicated serious newsprint to this "new" way of training. It involves doing every set at a 10-0-10 tempo; that's taking ten seconds to lift a weight and ten seconds to lower it.
You wouldn't believe how many muttonheads I see training this way, each with a certain tinge of snobbery, certain that they're on the cutting edge of training methodologies. Too bad it was first popularized about 30 years ago....
Anyhow, we've long advocated slower tempos as a great way to build muscle, but the acolytes of Super Slow have taken a good thing and mucked it up.
While taking ten seconds to lower a weight has beneficial physiological effects, taking ten seconds to raise the weight is questionable. A slow concentric contributes to overall time under tension, and it might have some athletic carryover to some very specific athletic actions, but a lifter would be far better using a more rapid movement on the concentric.
Likewise, the slow concentric contributes to metabolic fatigue and central nervous system fatigue, thus forcing you to cut down on the total time under eccentric tension, which is where you build muscle.
A rapid concentric movement benefits the central nervous system. Using a rapid concentric in combo with a slow or slower eccentric offers the best of both worlds for the bodybuilder: building strength and size.
Just because she's got plenty of ear wax... This doesn't have much to do with training, but I just got a call from an ex-training partner whose wife just had a baby. They're naming her Sienna, which, as I recall, is one of the colors in a box of Crayola Crayons.
Please stop this heinous practice now. I don't want to see any more baby girls named Sienna, Sepia, Wisteria, Cerise, Fuchsia, Mulberry, Periwinkle, Goldenrod, Asparagus, or any other colors from a box of Crayolas.
Really. Stop it.
Inch worms – I don't know what's going on, but every third muttonhead is doing movements with a range of motion that's about three inches. I think it's directly related to the length of their penises. Me? Broad strokes that travel perhaps 20 to 30 inches. Anyhow, while this particular disturbing trend is most often seen on triceps dips, bench presses, and squats, no movement is immune.
Half of 'em do it that way because, wonder of wonder, it's easier! And golly, I can lift more weight if I only go a third of the way down. The other half will tell you that on bench press, for instance, the rotator cuffs will come into play at a certain point of the movement, so each individual should only go down to the point where some other muscle group gets involved.
That's all fine and dandy, but barring some sort of pre-existing tissue damage, you should go all the way down. Muscles don't operate in a vacuum. Most movements involve other muscles. Go only part way down, and you'll only build strength in that particular range of motion.
I know where this type of thinking originated, though, as Coach Poliquin pointed out to me that back in the sixties, a particular study showed that an isometric biceps curl, done at 90 degrees flexion, built strength in a range from 75 degrees to 105 degrees. Given that bit of research, some coaches assumed that the same thing was true in concentric or eccentric training.
Not true.
Unless you're training for the 3/4 rep World Championship of Half-Assed Bench Pressing, use full range movements.
Who the hell was Smith, anyhow? – If you've been reading this site for any length of time, you know that we kinda' hate Smith Machines. For one thing, they create what Paul Chek has termed Pattern Overload. What that means is that by being locked into a particular plain of motion by the Smith Machine, you'll only get stronger or more efficient in that narrow plain. Worse, though, is that by doing movements in that same range over and over again until the stars stop twinkling will cause your joints to be featured as the "Sorry Case of the Month" in the journal, Orthopedic Nightmares.
Personal trainers like to put their clients in these gizmos because they're deemed safe. A trainee in a Smith machine is unlikely to fall on his keester, and what's more, he's protected against earthquakes. The truth is, trainers who put their clients in Smith Machines are lazy.
Another problem posed by these machines is knee injuries. Because the bar is fixed, a person doing Smith Machine squats is able to lean against the bar, which is a natural response. This minimizes hip extension, thus allowing the hamstrings to take a siesta during the movement. Trouble is, the hamstrings help to stabilize the knee during squats, and the result of taking them out of the picture is to induce a shearing force on the joint. This might ultimately lead to a blown anterior cruciate ligament.
Why, I've literally seen trainees who were using the Smith Machine to do squats have their kneecaps fly across the gym and take out an entire family of Afghani refugees.
Go ahead and use the Smith Machine periodically, for short durations and for specific purposes, but don't make it a mainstay of your program.
What's next, walking in place? When I was a kid, we had these things called "bicycles" that we used to go to the store to buy Slurpees and gum and stuff. We didn't really think of them as exercise, but they were functional and kind of fun, too, especially if we put a baseball card in the spokes.
Who'd a thunk that they'd make them stationary, line them up in a room, and have a certified instructor (yes, certified!) lead the class in an imaginary trip to 7-11! Yep, it's called Spinning.
What's next? Herding a bunch of people in a closed room where they march in place? Sure, we'll call it "Truckin'."
Cut it out. Take your bike outside where it belongs. Get some fresh air. Check out the neighborhood.
The Dreaded Gluteal Fold Syndrome – Quick, name me three hamstring movements... bet some of you couldn't do it. I've harped on this before, but the majority of trainees do leg curls for hamstrings and that's it. Consequently, their legs resemble pool cues with a prominent flabby-assed gluteal fold at the top. (A gluteal fold is where the end of the glute and the beginning of the ham is clearly discernible. In sprinters – or people with similarly advanced ham development – the glute almost always flows smoothly into the hamstring.)
The hamstrings have dual functionality. They both flex the lower leg and extend the hips, but most people only pay lip service to the lower leg flexing capability. Cut it out.
In order for complete development, proper functionality, avoidance of hamstring pulls, and the elimination of the dreaded gluteal fold, you need to do movements that work the hip extension function of the hams like deadlifts, good mornings, straight-leg deadlifts, and perhaps something like cable kick-backs (where you attach a low cable to a cuff on your ankle and move the entire leg back, keeping a straight leg and originating the movement from the glute).
I'm not workin' abs, I'm humpin' air – There are really four main muscle groups that make up the abs: the transversus abdominus, the internal and external obliques, and the rectus abdominus, the last of which can almost be considered two muscle groups consisting of an upper and lower section.
Most people only work the upper part of the rectus abdominus by doing half-assed crunches or those things where they hang from a bar and look like they're humping air, and then throw in what they think is some work for the obliques by doing twists with a broom.
If you're really serious about working abs, you have to work all the muscles that make up the midsection, and in the proper progression, one based on how much fine motor control is required to work each group properly. I use the mnemonic LOU to remember the order: lower, outer, upper.
As mentioned above, the transversus abdominus should be worked with some form of what Ian King has referred to as Thin Tummies. In other words, you need to do some variant of an exercise where the navel is drawn in towards the spine and held there. The second progression should involve working the lower part of the rectus abdominus. These movements typically involve some variety of hanging leg raise or reverse crunches on a Swiss ball.
While a bodybuilder doesn't need to build up his obliques too much, they should be given some work to ensure proper postural alignment. Most movements that work the obliques also stretch and work the quadratus lumborum, which is a muscle that gives support to the lumbar spine and which often blows during heavy deadlifts when the lifter has weak transverse abdominus muscles.
Movements that work the obliques and quadratus don't involve broomstick twists. You need to work against gravity and simply sitting there with a broomstick on your shoulders and imitating a stuck propeller ain't going to do it. Do some side bends off a Swiss ball or Roman chair, or check out the movements described in Ian King's article, "The Thinking Man's Guide to Ab Training".
Work the upper part of the rectus abdominus last. Swiss ball crunches are great, but my personal favorite is the "Sicilian Crunch," invented by T-mag contributor John Paul Cannonzaro. It's one that involves Jerry Telle-esque shifting lever arms.
What you do is sit on a Swiss Ball with a dumbbell held high on your chest. Crunch upwards, and when you get to the top of the movement, extend the dumbbell high over your head. Then slowly control the movement downward. When you get to the bottom of the movement, lower the dumbbell to your chest again and repeat.
For more ideas, check out the aforementioned Ian King article.
I could probably come up with several more Disturbing Trends, but these are just the ones I've seen being practiced this week.
Please, if you have any regard for me at all, help me kill these practices, especially the one that involves parents naming their kids after crayons.

In developing their business plans, companies of all sizes face the challenge of determining the size of their markets.
In developing their business plans, companies of all sizes face the challenge of determining the size of their markets. To begin, companies must present the size of their "relevant market" in their plans. The relevant market equals the company's sales if it were to capture 100% of its specific niche of the market. Conversely, stating that you were competing in the $1 trillion U.S. healthcare market, for example, is a telltale sign of a poorly reasoned business plan, as there is no company that could reap $1 trillion in healthcare sales. Defining and communicating a credible relevant market size is far more powerful than presenting generic industry figures.
The challenge that many firms face is their inability to size their relevant markets, particularly if they are competing in new or rapidly evolving markets. On one hand, the fact that the markets are new or evolving is the reason why there may be a large opportunity to establish them and become the market leader. Conversely, investors, shareholders and senior management are often skeptical to invest resources because, since the markets do not yet exist, the markets may be too small, or not really exist at all.
Growthink has encountered the challenge of sizing emerging markets numerous times and has developed a proprietary methodology to solve the problem. To begin, it is critical to understand why traditional market sizing methodologies are ill-equipped to size emerging markets. To illustrate, if a research firm were to use traditional methods to size a mature market such as the coffee market in the United States, it would consider demographic trends (e.g., aging baby boomers), psychographic trends (e.g., increased health consciousness), past sales trends and consumption rates, price movements, competitor brand shares and new product development, and channels/retailers among others. However, conducting such an analysis for emerging markets presents a challenge as several of these factors (e.g., past sales, demographics of the customer when there are no current customers) don't exist because the markets are presently untapped.
The methodology required to size these new markets requires two approaches. Each approach will yield a different approximation of the potential market size, and often the figures will work together to provide a solid foundation for the market's potential. Growthink calls the first approach "peeling back the onion." In this approach, we start with the generic market (e.g., the coffee market) that that company is trying to penetrate, and remove pieces of that market that it will not target. For instance, if the company created an ultra high-speed coffee maker that retailed for $600, it would initially reduce the market size by factors such as retail channels (e.g., mass marketers would not carry the product), demographic factors (lower income customers would not purchase the product), etc. By peeling back the generic market, you eventually will be left with only the relevant portion of it.
- Competitors: who is competing for the customer that you will be serving; what is in their product pipeline; once you release a product/service, how long will it take them to enter the market, who else may enter the market, etc.
- Customers: what are the demographics and psychographics of the customers you will be targeting; what products are they currently using to fulfill a similar need (substitute products); how are they currently purchasing these products; what is their degree of loyalty to current providers, etc.
- Market factors: what other factors exist that will influence the market size – government regulations; market consolidation in related markets, price changes for raw materials, etc.
- Case Studies: what other markets have experience similar transformations and what were the customer adoption rates in those markets, etc.
While these methodologies are often more painstaking than traditional market research techniques, they can be the difference in determining whether your company has the next iPod or the next Edsel.

It has the largest skiable glacier in Europe and is France's second oldest ski resort behind Chamonix, where the largest mountain in western Europe is located, Mont Blanc. It has the longest, normally open full on-piste vertical available in the world Les Deux Alpes is a 71 km (44 mi) drive southeast of Grenoble.


The short answer is yes. Twine itself has no effect on compiled games, so it would only effect your project if story format developers abandoned their projects, but since those are open source, other community members are free to step in and keep them working. That's the main benefit of open source.
Twine games are HTML documents, and while standards and browsers change, both actively try to support legacy stuff where possible for as long as is possible--new features are added, but it's rare for old features to be completely removed.
If that were to happen, it is the author's responsibility to update their game, usually by updating the story format and rebuilding it. But generally speaking, you won't need to outside of the rare quirk like Chrome changing how autoplay works for media, which may cause some games to have fairly minor sound issues if users use the default settings.
The odds of Twine games wholesale stopping working, and then the odds of no one stepping up to fix it, are extremely rare even in the long term.
Thanks for the detailed answer -- very helpful!

When the tofu is nearly done baking, heat 1 tablespoon sesame oil on a medium sized pan. Add minced garlic, sliced mushrooms, baked tofu, and salt to taste. Cook for about 3 minutes till mushrooms are cooked to your liking.
To serve, fill the bottom of your bowl with arugula. Then, fill the rest with quinoa, tofu, mushrooms, and top with dressing and chopped cashews! Enjoy!

Michigan State's Branden Dawson hopes to hear his name called in the NBA Draft.
CHICAGO -- Just getting an invitation to the NBA Draft Combine isn't the objective, but for Branden Dawson, it was a pleasant start.
"When they emailed me to say that I was picked, I was chosen, it was just great," the former Michigan State standout said Thursday. "It put a huge smile on my face and I definitely want to take advantage of every situation."
Last spring, it was a touch-and-go decision whether Dawson would return for his senior year.
An opportunity to complete his MSU eligibility with an NCAA Final Four berth and a sociology degree, and to add another year of skills to an NBA-ready physique, made it a decision Dawson doesn't regret.
It was a big senior season for Dawson off the court, too. His 5-year-old son My'Shawn lived with him throughout the season.
"It was just a huge honor for me to go back and get my degree," he said. "That was one thing that I promised my mom, and just my family being there and watching me walk across on stage, it was just a huge honor.
"I think it definitely made me mature a lot, too. Last year, I was still kind of immature. But with that experience, and being able to come here, it's definitely a humbling experience."
Dawson's adjustment to the NBA, if it happens, won't be any easier.
Despite his invitation to the combine, there is a good chance he won't be one of the 60 players selected in the June 25 draft and will have to catch on as a free agent.
He also will have to do it as a small forward after playing power forward his last two seasons with the Spartans, though the native of Gary, Ind., views that as a positive.
"I played the three, mostly, in high school and in my freshman and sophomore years," at Michigan State, Dawson said. "It was a big adjustment playing the four my junior and senior seasons. But in the offseason, I've been working on things off the ball, dribbling, shooting, and a lot of different things that scouts in general say they want to see.
"It's not a concern because I played the position before and when I do play the three, I feel more comfortable there. So I'm versatile. I can guard fours because of my strength, and my ability to guard different positions. But playing the three is always something that I did, and I feel more comfortable playing there."
Dawson said he has spoken with several former Spartans teammates who have been through the combine and the draft process, including Adrien Payne and Gary Harris in 2014.
Another ex-Spartan Dawson has consulted is Draymond Green, who has the Golden State Warriors on the cusp of the Western Conference Finals and is due to cash in with a major contract as a restricted free agent this summer.
"That's definitely motivating for me," Dawson said. "I watch Day-Day a lot. He comes back after they're done during the summer and he talks to us. A lot of people questioned his position, they said he was too small, and they said this and that. But Day-Day, he's the type of guy that he wants to prove everybody wrong, and that's what he did."
Dawson measured 6-feet-5 1/2 without shoes here. Extensive minutes at power forward in the NBA would be difficult to manage, despite his chiseled frame.
Yet, as a product of moving to power forward where his college team needed him, Dawson's underdeveloped mid-range game stayed that way. Anything beyond that was nonexistent. Dawson was 0 of 9 on college 3-pointers.
Finding his niche as a pro could be a long, winding journey.
An invitation to the combine was just a start.
"Every guy has a weakness," Dawson said. "Just work on the things that I need to work on, and just prove that I can do other things. If I do that, I think everything else will come along and take care of itself."

Deaf educator is good communicator
Posted January 2, 2007 at 1:00 am
Bill Johnson (BA mathematics '64) was always interested in learning. He spent three hours every day being tutored by two aunts, both teachers, practicing school subjects and learning activities like cooking and gardening. He spent summers traveling the country, soaking up history about the parks and monuments he visited.
But being deaf made that more difficult, he says.
"I had to spend many, many more hours studying than the normal student because of a lack of a support system," Johnson says. "There were no group-learning arrangements, nor tutorial arrangements."
Still, Johnson counts himself lucky because his aunts, a high school basketball coach and his parents — both deaf — were able to sign to him "in the 1950s when that was unheard of" and give him extra help, even when others refused.
Now, other deaf students get extra help from Johnson. His passion for learning grew into teaching, where he had to break stereotypes and trepidation in Iowa and Oregon public schools.
After teaching "regular" students and proving he had the capacity to do so, he began to focus on two extremes—gifted students and those who had difficulty learning.
Being deaf doesn't keep him from communicating with students. "My speech is quite good for a person with a profound hearing problem," Johnson says. His speech-reading skills also are excellent, he adds.
Johnson has held superintendent positions at deaf schools in Illinois and Iowa. He started Iowa's first group home for developmentally disabled children and has hosted more than five deaf foreign exchange students. Today, he serves as superintendent of St. Mary's School for the Deaf in Buffalo, N.Y.
"Because of all my opportunities, it seems most appropriate that I provide opportunities for other individuals to achieve the best that they can be," Johnson says.

Q: Susceptibility in the paramagnetic Ising model In the Ising model (2D for simplicity), the magnetic susceptibility casts the form
$$
\chi = \beta\left(\langle M^2\rangle - \langle M\rangle^2\right)
$$
We know that the susceptibility peaks at the transition temperature between ferromagnetic and paramagnetic phase. However, we can see that in the paramagnetic phase,
$$
\langle M^2\rangle=\frac{1}{N}\sum_iM_i^2=\frac{1}{N}\sum_i (\pm1)^2=1
$$
$$
\langle M\rangle^2=\left(\frac{1}{N}\sum_iM_i\right)^2=\left(\frac{1}{N}\sum_i(\pm 1)\right)^2 = 0
$$
since $M_i = \pm 1$ and there is no net magnetisation in the paramagnetic phase. This means that the susceptibility becomes $\chi = \beta\sim1/T$, contradicting to the Curie-Weiss law. Where did I make my mistake?

A: You are misunderstanding the notation. Let us denote by $\sigma_i$, $i\in V\subset\mathbb{Z}^2$, the spins in your system.
The magnetization the takes the form
$$
M_V = \sum_{i\in V} \sigma_i.
$$
Therefore (note that the brackets denote expectation with respect to the Gibbs measure, not an average over spins as you seem to be doing),
$$
\langle M_V^2 \rangle
= \Bigl\langle\Bigl( \sum_{i\in V} \sigma_i \Bigr)^2\Bigr\rangle
= \Bigl\langle\sum_{i,j\in V} \sigma_i\sigma_j\Bigr\rangle
= \sum_{i,j\in V} \langle\sigma_i\sigma_j\rangle.
$$
Similarly,
$$
\langle M_V\rangle^2
= \Bigl( \Bigl\langle\sum_{i\in V} \sigma_i \Bigr\rangle\Bigr)^2
= \Bigl( \sum_{i\in V} \langle\sigma_i\rangle \Bigr)^2
= \sum_{i,j \in V} \langle\sigma_i\rangle\langle\sigma_j\rangle.
$$
Its variance is thus given by
$$
\operatorname{Var}(M_V) = \langle M_V^2 \rangle - \langle M_V \rangle^2
= \sum_{i,j\in V} \bigl( \langle\sigma_i\sigma_j\rangle - \langle\sigma_i\rangle\langle\sigma_j\rangle \bigr).
$$
In the thermodynamic limit, using translation invariance, the susceptibility can then be written as
$$
\chi = \lim_{V\to\mathbb{Z}^2} \frac{\beta}{|V|}\operatorname{Var}(M_V) = \beta \sum_{i\in\mathbb{Z}^2} \bigl( \langle\sigma_0\sigma_i\rangle - \langle\sigma_0\rangle\langle\sigma_i\rangle \bigr).
$$
Concerning your computations, note that, when $i\neq 0$, $\langle\sigma_0\sigma_i\rangle\neq 1$ except at $T=0$, while $\langle\sigma_0\rangle=\langle\sigma_i\rangle = 0$ if $T>T_{\rm c}$.
In fact, the truncated 2-point function $\langle\sigma_0\sigma_i\rangle - \langle\sigma_0\rangle\langle\sigma_i\rangle$ decays exponentially fast in $\|i\|$ at all $T\neq T_{\rm c}$ (in pure phases), but the decay becomes a non-summable power law at $T_{\rm c}$, which is the cause of the divergence of the susceptibility $\chi$.

At a news conference, Korean Air chairman Cho Yang-ho apologizes for his adult daughter's behavior, Dec. 12, 2014.
Korean Air's CEO has apologized for what he said were the "foolish" actions of his daughter, an airline executive who delayed a flight because she was not happy with the way she was served macadamia nuts.
At a news conference Friday, Cho Yang-ho bowed in a traditional gesture of deep remorse, saying he should have done a better job raising his daughter.
Cho Hyun-ah, Korean Air's former head of cabin service, arrives for questioning at the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport offices in Seoul, South Korea, Dec. 12, 2014.
"I am sincerely apologizing for my daughter's foolish behavior. I am asking for the public's generous forgiveness as head of Korean Air and father of Cho Hyun-ah," he said, adding he expected a reprimand. "… It's my fault."
Cho Hyun-ah became angry while traveling last Friday after a flight attendant in first class offered her nuts in a packet instead of on a plate. The 40-year-old, who was head of the airline's cabin service, forced the aircraft to return to the gate and kicked the attendant off the plane. The flight was delayed by 20 minutes.
The case has prompted widespread outrage in South Korea and forced Cho from all her posts, including as vice president of the family-run airline.
A distraught-looking Cho offered her own emotional apology Friday, telling reporters in a barely audible voice that she is "sincerely" sorry for her actions.
Following complaints from a civil society group, South Korean authorities have started an investigation into whether Korean Air violated any aviation safety laws.

State Officials Sent Cell Phone Alerts To Protect Public Safety Amidst Ongoing Record Heat, Energy Grid Shortfalls
Government claims: Alerts yielded immediate relief to California's energy grid

Editor's Note: This is an official press release from the Governor's Office of Emergency Services. Spanish language text omitted.
SACRAMENTO – With extreme weather stretching California's energy grid and threatening public health and safety, the Governor's Office of Emergency Services issued an emergency alert at 5:45 pm, asking residents to conserve power.
As a result of this action, the California Independent System Operation (CaISO) saw an immediate and significant drop in energy use, providing some relief to the state's grid.
The alerts come as California and the western United State are experiencing record heat. This heat wave is on track to be both the hottest and longest in California for September ever while peak summer heat for California is normally in July and August.
The following alert was sent via text message through the Wireless Emergency Alerts (WEA) system to cell phone users in targeted counties:
"Conserve energy now to protect public health and safety. Extreme heat is straining the state energy grid. Power interruptions may occur unless you take action. Turn off or reduce nonessential power if health allows, now until 9pm."
The message was also sent in Spanish . The geographically-targeted text messages will be sent to residents in the counties of: Alameda, Butte, Contra Costa, El Dorado, Fresno, Kern, Kings, Los Angeles, Madera, Marin, Merced, Orange, Placer, Sacramento, San Joaquin, Santa Barbara, Santa Clara, Shasta, Sonoma, Solano, Stanislaus, Tulare, Ventura, and Yolo.
These counties are being targeted because they are in areas of significantly above average temperatures, high population density and high concentrations of air condition use.
Updated forecast from the National Weather Service shows that this extreme heat is going to continue into Thursday and Friday.
Amidst this ongoing, climate-driven heatwave, Californians have now for multiple days successfully stepped up to save energy and made a difference in California's ability to keep the lights on.
Individuals who receive wireless alerts should not contact law enforcement or call 9-1-1.

Recommended Read: Apple's Jony Ive and Vogue's Anna Wintour: Machines can build beautiful things
In an ongoing series of Jony Ive's argument that tech can converge with fashion, he gives an interview along with Anna Wintour from Vouge, and Andrew Bolton from the Costume Institute. Christina Warren from Mashable gets them to talk about the Apple Watch, timeless designs, and the future of design aided by 3D printers.
What we designed was a system not a singular product," Ive told me. It's also why it was so important for the Apple Watch strap to be easily changeable. "I think we found that by being able to change the strap, not just change the color but the design — and the designs change profoundly — that we could start to introduce a new look in combination with different watch faces and user interfaces."

We often have the feeling of having a hollow (a little hunger) while we took care of lunch. I will help you through this article to understand the reasons and offer solutions to overcome this situation in the future. 1. Thirst If you have had lunch and are hungry again, try to remember the last time you drank water. Drink a glass of water and wait a bit. The feeling of hunger will diminish and it will prove therefore that in reality, you are not hungry, but just thirsty. Get used to drink often Fats are not all the same. Fast foods, fried foods, fatty foods, smoked foods and flour should ideally be consumed occasionally. However, healthy fats, they must be on your list every week: olive oil, salmon, avocado ... It is not necessary that, under the pretext of the diet, you give up the essential food for your body. 3. Lack of sleep If you have 7 or 8 hours of deep sleep at night, hunger will not wake you up. At night, our body produces a hormone called melatonin that is responsible not only for the proper functioning of our body, but also for its appearance. Consider going to bed before midnight, you will feel fresh and pretty. 4. The stress There are two types of stress reactions: there are those who can not see the food and those who know the contrary, a good cake always helps to convey the anguish. If you belong to the second group, this point is dedicated to you. Remember that stress is not a reason to grab the candy rays. Call your friends, discuss cool topics, take a walk in the park, play sports, read a good book or watch an interesting series.

Seventeen years ago, when Kazakhstan moved its capital here, the city of Astana didn't even exist. [...]
But after years of rapid economic growth fueled by Kazakhstan's oil and gas riches, the skyline of Astana [...] is now punctuated by gleaming skyscrapers and Western-style shopping malls. The city has become a hotbed for architectural experimentation, attracting big names like Norman Foster and Manfredi Nicoletti who have transformed it into what locals now call "Manhattan on the Steppe." — nytimes.com

When Executive Express Owner Larry Logeman needed assistance finding a new site and creating a centralized headquarters for the booming transportation business, he called David Leapaldt at IIW Minnesota.
The business had been growing rapidly over the past five years. With over 120 employees and 45 vehicles transporting passengers, namely to and from the Minneapolis-St. Paul Airport, Executive Express had outgrown its home and the use of the Holiday Inn as a departure and arrival point.
Logeman imagined a centralized location where the business could continue to show its commitment to convenience and the customer experience. A 15-acre site in Waite Park proved to be a natural fit. It included a 10,000-square-foot maintenance garage, and 1,700-square-foot of existing office space as well as some other buildings. Standing alongside Logeman, Leapaldt shared how a new arrival and departure lounge could fit into the site design as well as a logical place for buses to pick up and drop off.
Working alongside Logeman and the Executive Express staff, IIW Minnesota designed a 2,700-square-foot arrival and departure lounge and protected bus parking. The design also included additional customer and staff parking, and roadways to accommodate the bus and vehicle traffic.
With a focus on customer convenience, IIW designed a simple and intuitive access from the parking area to the departure lounge and check-in area. Walking inside to the waiting and lounge areas, customers are met with high ceilings and an abundance of glass for natural light.
Customers can easily move from the lounge to step aboard for a ride and remain comfortable even in inclement weather.
The existing office space has been repurposed to house all of the Executive Express administrative and support functions, as well as break areas for the drivers and other staff. The maintenance building has been upgraded to support the maintenance of the Executive Express fleet, and the exterior painted to improve the overall appearance of the building.
"Larry had a strong vision for what he wanted both Executive Express customers and his staff to experience," Leapaldt said. "It's rewarding to working alongside the team to turn that vision into spaces and then see it being experienced."

FBI ex-deputy Director Andrew McCabe Fired Days Before Retirement
Law & Justice, Live News Events, Politics / Andrew McCabe, Donald Trump, FBI / By Live One / March 17th 2018 March 17th 2018
Trump has been smearing McCabe repeatedly on Twitter and has done so in the most disrespectful way, something the will definitely not go unnoticed by the rank and file of the FBI.
He was fired specifically by US Attorney General Jeff Sessions, who said an internal review found he leaked information and misled investigators.
Mr McCabe denied the claims and said he was being targeted because of his involvement in the inquiry into alleged Russian meddling in the 2016 election.
Mr Trump has long accused Mr McCabe of bias in favour of the Democrats.
He immediately praised Mr Sessions' decision to fire him.

Repurposing drugs for the treatment of galactosemia
David Timson
Centre for Stress and Age-Related Disease
Introduction: Galactosemia results from mutations in genes which code for enzymes involved in the metabolism of galactose. It has a wide range of symptoms ranging from the relatively mild (early onset cataracts) to severe damage to the liver, brain and ovaries. The only treatment is the removal or reduction of galactose in the diet. This treatment is unsatisfactory, particularly in the most severe forms of the disease. Considerable efforts are being made to develop specific therapies for galactosemia. These include gene therapies, pharmacological chaperones, drugs to block the production of potentially toxic metabolites and enzyme replacement therapy. Areas covered: This review considers existing drugs, nutrients and treatments which could be relatively rapidly repurposed for the treatment of galactosemia. If successful, these would improve the prognosis for galactosemia patients. Expert opinion: Dietary antioxidants which are widely used and generally considered safe (e.g. resveratrol, purple sweet potato color) should be tested for their efficacy in galactosemia. Pharmaceutical antioxidants (e.g. idebenone) should be considered. Phosphate supplementation, along with careful monitoring of phosphate levels in the patient's diet should also be considered. Efforts to develop specific therapies for galactosemia should continue.

Presented here, a small rectangular splint basket in Apple Green Paint. It measures 8-34" long, 7" wide and 4" high, not including the handle. It is 6-1/2" high including the fixed handle. Condition is very fine with no breaks and only minor wear to the paint, mostly on the bottom as one would expect. What makes this basket special, however, is the fact that it has been lined with fabric. Obviously a previous owner has painstakingly made the lining for the basket for whatever special use she had for it. She even reinforced the bottom with cardboard. The lining is in very good condition, though faded to a softer hue. From an Indiana Collection featured in the book, Historic Homes of Indiana.


This is the actual motivation of the ruling elites to destroy President Trump. All totalitarian regimes have the goal of keeping their population governable. The delusion that a democracy is the ideal form of government is proven false when the vote is universal. Allowing non citizens a ballot to select office holders is sheer madness.

"The People's Portfolio" Book
We have begun production on an iconic five-chapter coffee-table book, entitled The People's Portfolio, that will showcase the global human rights movement and become the manifesto for our foundation. This will be the culmination of a decade's work capturing social and political upheaval around the globe, and will ensure the enduring legacy of civil society's greatest leaders across the world.
The book will be published in two versions: as a high-end quality, large-scale, coffee table book which will be used as a calling-card for our foundation, allowing those unfamiliar with The People's Portfolio to better understand our work and our mission; the second version will function as an affordable, accessible, smaller educational tool for students around the world. Both versions will be sold in museums and distributed to libraries. We anticipate that The People's Portfolio book will help to increase awareness, understanding and personal connection to the important issues explored within.
Platon and The People's Portfolio will begin a large-scale survey of poverty in America. We will focus on individual human stories, in both cities and rural areas, that will center the lives and experiences of affected people, and drive change within the national discourse. Our end goal is two-fold: to assist local NGO communities to fundraise by using our assets; and to engage American policy-makers with bold and compelling images and interviews.
We will begin this project in Philadelphia, focusing on the wealth disparity and health equity gaps among local, immigrant, and resettled refugee populations. Principal photography for our documentary film begins in Spring 2019.
Leadership Portfolio and Movement Women
We are building a digital platform of open testimonial interviews from leaders across various disciplines. These interviews will feature a cross-section of intimate human experiences to serve as educational tools empowering students, emerging leaders, and those in current positions of power and influence to be more compassionate and socially conscious. Our goal is to include up to 100 global leaders on this platform. In 2019, we will launch this series with interviews from Naomi Wadler, former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, Sir Fazle Hasan Abed, and other inspiring figures.

Neil Gladstone appointed E-Mobility Manager at EvoBus to support the UK and Irish launch of the all-electric Mercedes-Benz eCitaro
EvoBus (UK) Ltd has appointed Neil Gladstone as E-Mobility Manager, with responsibility for the launch and sale of the new all-electric Mercedes-Benz eCitaro with immediate effect.
Neil brings to the role over five years' retail sales experience in the coach market and additional experience within the UK bus sector in aftersales.
The current focus on local zero emission vehicles, as part of the UK's National Bus Strategy, represents a huge challenge to the wider industry, including but not limited to local authorities, bus operators and vehicle manufacturers.
The Department for Transport's "Bus Back Better" strategy, a nationally coordinated approach to improve local bus services, represents a unique opportunity for EvoBus (UK) Ltd to showcase its benchmark product and support the supply of quality vehicles to enhance passenger journeys.
EvoBus (UK) Ltd Director of Sales, Jonathan Prime, adds: "With Neil's previous experience, he fits seamlessly into the E-Mobility role.
"His broad product knowledge and in-depth understanding of the needs of the industry enable him to work closely with customers, infrastructure providers and our network partners to firmly establish the Mercedes-Benz eCitaro in the UK and Irish markets. We have great confidence in both him and the product as we look to build for the future."

Lil Durk Announces "Love Songs 4 The Streets 2" LP
ENTERTAINMENT July 10, 2019 by Michael Brice
Lil Durk currently has an attempted murder case looming over his head, but his serious legal issues aren't preventing him from releasing music. The Chicago-bred rapper has announced a new album titled Love Songs 4 The Streets 2, which is scheduled to drop July 26 on Alamo Records.
"I made LS4TS2 for women, my Day Ones, the trenches and all those that doubted me," he said in a press release.
In addition to the announcement, the Windy City rhymer has dropped the King Von-assisted lead single "Like That." The track adds to a growing list of collaborations between Durk and his Only The Family signee Von.
Durk's original Love Songs For The Streets mixtape was released in 2017. Its sequel, a studio album, serves as the follow-up to last November's Signed To The Streets 3 LP.
Check out Durk's Love Songs 4 The Streets 2 cover art below.


12th December - I spent my birthday up in the air! I was jetting off to NYC, aka the Big Apple and the city that never sleeps! A second surprise was revealed at the airport as my sister approached us in the departure terminal- she was coming with us, such a fantastic surprise! After 8 hours of aeroplane food (surprisingly edible) and lots of inflight entertainment, the thought of a comfy hotel bed was looking better by the minute. But my third and final surprise was revealed once our taxi drove through Manhattan and it was revealed we were headed for Greenwich Village. Woop Woop, excitement levels pushing through the sky at this point!
Once arrived and made ourselves at home it was time to crack open some Moët and toast to the holiday ahead and to my amazing family for keeping such a big surprise! We headed for dinner in Hell's Kitchen; Five Napkin Burger, with onion rings the size of my face, juicy, tender burgers and a smores milkshake literally worth dying for, it was definitely a birthday dinner I won't be forgetting in a hurry. Finished with a small stroll to the bright lights of Times Square, I let the whole day sink in, just incredible!
We ventured on to Central Park and saw the gorgeous bronze Alice in Wonderland sculpture, and with so many gorgeous dogs out and about, I got a bit snap happy as you will see from my photos! We walked down Fifth Avenue, had a coffee in 'Trump Tower' and took in the sites as we walked to Grand Central Station, and dined in the Oyster bar.
Later that afternoon as the sun was setting we headed to 'Top of the Rock'. Catching the last of the red hazy sunset and watching the city turn to dark was incredible; the view is just breathtaking, just standing at that height and hearing all the hustle and bustle mixed with the smell of street vendors 100ft up in the air, really is indescribable!
14th December - Adventures around West Village and SoHo, consisting of yet more sight seeing (I'm not sure I could get bored of taking in such an incredible city), pizza and lots of laughs. New York stole my heart on this beautiful day, and and I'm not sure I want it back!


The early days of the internet were extra exciting because only "advanced" people were on it, talking. There were few civilians back in that day, and there were no structures, so opportunity to talk and engage was really open.
I found my voice in alt.rec.baseball and more often alt.rec.baseball.fantasy, which were Usenets groups that attracted a lot of people with interests and passions and ideas, at a time when public internet discourse wasn't routinely ruined by vandals.
One of the people who was encountered on alt.rec.baseball was Sherri Nichols, who is the topic of a very nice Ben Lindbergh piece on The Ringer. You can read it here.
I have no problem with Ben's recitation of the history, and I fully embrace the idea that baseball nerdom would be better if it became more gender balanced. Or at least recognized that women were there, as Sherri was, when important ideas were being developed.
But his story is also an intriguing look at how the internet went from being the domain of academics and people with ideas to a teapot tempested with opinions.
I don't want to tie too big a bow on it, but those of us who like real ideas miss the old days.
