>> Democratic congressional aides say house dems have a plan to end the 10 day partial government shut down without giving President Donald Trump money for a border wall. The plan involves a bill that would keep funding for homeland security at current levels with 1.3 billion dollars for border security And measures to fund other shuttered agencies through the end of September, but the bill does not, however, provide $5 billion for Trump's border wall, which Democrats oppose.
Democrats take control of the House on Thursday and are planning a vote for the plan on the same day. If approved, the package would go to the Republican-led Senate, where its prospects appear uncertain. The border security funding part of the plan was based on an earlier measure that had already passed the Senate with bipartisan support.
Democratic House Speaker Designate Nancy Pelosi said in a statement, it would be the height of irresponsibility and political cynicism for Senate Republicans to reject it. Meanwhile, hundreds of thousands of federal workers remain in limbo, expecting to begin the new year either furloughed or working without pay. Parts of nine cabinet level departments are closed.
Websites for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, for example, are down.>> Only way you're gonna do it is to have a physicla barrier, meaning a wall.>> And with Trump vowing not to sign any bill that does not include his $5 billion, those departments could remain closed well into the new year.


Fresh off a whirlwind summer that involved spending plenty of time in Australia filming Thor: Ragnarok, Tom Hiddleston has hardly been lying low — after all, he's also got Kong: Skull Island in post-production, and both movies are slated to be two of 2017's biggest blockbusters. Of course, we'd be remiss not to mention the fact that Tom also dated superstar Taylor Swift for a better part of the summer. Their romance, sweet but fleeting, even earned them the internet nickname of "Hiddleswift," before reports confirmed the two had broken up earlier this month.
Tom managed to skirt questions about his famous ex-girlfriend just weeks later when he appeared at the 2016 Emmy awards, but it was only a matter of time before Taylor's name came up in an interview, and this time, it's Tom's good friend and fellow British actor Benedict Cumberbatch on the other end of the line.
The two pals (and potential Thor: Ragnarok costars) chatted over the phone for Interview magazine and it was only natural that Tom's high-profile romance would come up… right?
The topic of both men's relationship to fame came up, with Benedict saying, "there's another weight of us being in the public eye, which is this presumption that, because your work and your promotion work is very public, your private life should be, too."
"Without getting into a huge debate, I just want to say that I'm not going to ask questions about my friend's personal life just because there are unsolicited photographs of him and a certain someone, in a relationship or together. I'm not going to get into that. So that door is closed, dear reader."
Benedict gives the absolute best response, saying, "You're welcome. I know you'd do the same for me."
If these aren't the cutest guys in Hollywood, I don't know who is. #friendshipgoals right here.

Lost Girl's scorched Earth season finale was terrible, but promising
Ed Grabianowski
Filed to: tv recapFiled to: tv recap
tv recap
Lost Girl's season has finally ended. What do you do when your plot makes no sense and you can't figure out how to fix it? Just kill your way out of it.
All season long, people who've already watched this season on their earlier Canadian air dates have been posting comments about how horrible the season finale was, how the worst yet to come, and so on. So I had pretty low expectations. And this was honestly a terrible episode that I will mock soundly momentarily.
But this episode also did something smart. It swept away most of the crap that had accumulated over the last two seasons (though sadly not all of it), and left off with a fairly interesting, clear setup for season five. So I'm actually hopeful that things will improve.
But yeah, let's get on with all the awful things in this episode. Massimo is up first. Everything about this storyline became annoying, from his ridiculous mommy issues to the coarse, unwatchable overacting. It made stuff that used to earn a chuckle, like throwing out "Magic muff" and "Wondersnatch," grating. Long story short, the whole thing with the Unamens seed being a big deal fizzled because it was too powerful for Massimo's human brain to handle. Lauren stole the twig, there was a bunch of succubus chi transference, ending up with Evony dying but being brought back to life by Bo. Does this mean Evony is fae again? She was off-stage for the rest of the episode, so who knows? But Bo murdered Massimo, I'm pretty sure for real this time. Yes!
Prior to this there was a fun little scene with Evony and Trick. Drunk human Evony looking like a 1940s movie star. It didn't really have a point, but it was cool. "Bitch is just a word men use when they're threatened by the chick in charge."
Oh, I forgot that at some point Massimo killed Rainer. So that's that. Huge build up. Endless plots. Marries Bo. Dies like a chump. You won't be missed, Rainer.
To get psyched up for the coming battle, Bo needs some tough love from Tamsin. Bo sucks chi from her, then remarks, "You taste different. Happy." And then Tamsin says, "There'll be time to mourn later." That makes no sense to me. Then Dyson comes in and pledges fealty to Bo, which felt weirdly like a marriage proposal. In the other room, Kenzi and Tamsin page through a book written in Norwegian. Kenzi picks a random paragraph and asks Tamsin to translate, and it's the one part of the book that's totally relevant to their situation. "Daughter. Heart."
Actually that isn't relevant to anything because it's just two words, but Kenzi decides it means she has to sacrifice herself to close the portal. Because she's Bo's heart. This is a somewhat astonishing leap of logic.
Bo and Dyson head off to the magic portal, and three revenants come out. And by revenants, I mean, "Dudes randomly dressed in military uniforms." Not even a token effort at zombie makeup. Poor form. Bo succubuses them but it turns her kind of evil until a kiss from Dyson makes her…less horny? There's a fight scene that happens off camera. They go into another room and Kenzi shows up to give Bo a wakizashi.
By the way, Kenzi's back. That whole big dramatic "I'm leaving" scene from last week was dealt with in a rather perfunctory manner. "Oh cool, you're back." Of course they had to bring her back because…well, we'll get to that.
Everything culminates in an epic battle against a horde of revenants. I think maybe the writers were writing checks the producers couldn't cash here. This was the most laughable, terrible fight scene. Again, no makeup on the revenants, just a bunch of extras stumbling around. I can't say the fight choreography was bad because there was none. This was the most casual zombie fight in history. At one point it genuinely looked like a middle school dance when "End of the Road" by Boyz II Men comes on. People could stop and have entire conversations in the middle of the fight. Trick appears out of nowhere. They even threw in a Wilhelm scream. Dyson gets excited about seeing a Valkyrie in battle for the first time. Apparently Valkyries fight like they're doing yardwork. All giant awkward overhand swings.
In the middle of all this, Kenzi walks in and does a slow march toward the portal. It's very urgent because the Pterapice or whatever is coming. I know we've figured out what they're actually referring to here, but if Lost Girl doesn't care enough to even pronounce it right I'm not going to worry all that much if I've spelled it right. Bo arrives and tries to stop Kenzi, but Dyson holds him back. Destiny, or the prophecy, or something. The major plot point here seemed to be, "Who does Bo love the mostest?"* Obviously the horse demon is never going to show up, that's way beyond the show's budget.
*[In my notes, a typo rendered that plot point, "Who does Bo love the moistest?" which is probably more accurate in any case.]
Kenzi gets silhouetted in the portal and there's a big flash of light, the portal closes, and Kenzi's dead. Big shock! Ok, not at all. They're obviously not killing Kenzi off. How many times did they mention Valhalla? How many times did Bo vow to do anything to get Kenzi back? This is cool, because it's a great, simple setup for next season. Bo is pissed, all the politics are swept aside, and she has one simple, clear mission. Yeah, there's some detritus – is the whole Wandered/Bo's dad thing really resolved? But overall, the worst parts of this season have been effectively firebombed.
There were a few other cool moments as the season wound down. We got to see Tamsin in full Valkyrie mode again, and about damn time. I loved the image of her kneeling over Kenzi's body, shrouding her with her wings. If I can play armchair director for a second, how awesome would that scene have been with a Pietà homage?
We later see Tamsin at the gates of Valhalla. Dyson shows up to bring her home, and I mean literally he just shows up at Valhalla. The cosmology of Lost Girl has a very robust transit system.
Despite how cynical I've been feeling about this show, and how clear it is that Kenzi isn't really gone, that scene with Bo and Kenzi's grave tugged at the ol' heartstrings a little bit. Just a little. And I'm a jaded old bastard, so that's saying something.
Here's to you, Lost Girl, and an oncoming fifth season I never imagined was possible.

"Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering." Yoda may be talking about the dark side of the force here, but his Jedi wisdom is just as applicable to the dark side of social media and technology. Like the force, these tools provide us with tremendous power and opportunity, but that power comes with responsibility and challenges.
Students have learned how to virtually socialize over social media, and they will mess up. Just like real life. But, the positives still outweigh the negatives.


Yesterday we've told you about the new announcement coming from Bitmain about their acquisition of the Snowbal.io service that is now called Hashnest and about their plan to start selling cloud mining hashrate via the new platform. They have already started selling the initial offering of 4 Petahashes worth of hashrate powered by AntMiner Bitcoin ASIC miners today and we have already purchased 100 GHS to try out the service. Initially the price per GHS was supposed to be 0.0016 BTC, but it has apparently been lowered to 0.00135 BTC making the offer more attractive even though the maintenance fee is still at about 37 percent which is a bit higher than we would want to see it. But since the maintenance fee is quoted in USD per GHS with increase of the Bitcoin price the fee percentage should get down to a more acceptable level. With the new price per GHS and the current maintenance fee with a more moderate 10% average increase of the Bitcoin network hashrate you can expect to see a ROI in less than 8 months, not that great, but not too bad either, especially compared to some other recently launched alternatives that we've covered. So while not great profitability wise, that offer does not seem that bad either compared to many of the available alternatives and even compared to the initially announced higher price per GHS. The hashrate you purchase will be valid and mining for as long as the mined coins are more than the fees collected by the service, so the downside could be if the hashrate you purchase becomes unprofitable in less than 8 months.
We have purchased 100 GHS for 0.135 BTC just to test out the service and to give out some firsthand experience. It seems that Hashnest does need to do some more translation in English and improve the translation of some of the already translated in English texts. Also the statistics you get is not very detailed and the graphs for the hashrate are not for your own hashrate, but for the overall hashrate of the cloud mining contracts offered through the platform from the provider UMISOO. So currently the Miner Status page is not very informative apart from the data in the table you get about your purchased hashrate and the "Unassigned Earnings" which apparently is the amount you have mined so far. Other than that you should know that in order to purchase Bitcoin mining hashrate from Hashnest you should first deposit Bitcoins in your account and then you can pay with them for hashrate. The confirmation of the transaction and the availability of the Bitcoins in your account is pretty fast and after you have them in your balance the purchase and allocation of the paid hashrate apparently happens instantly. We'll see how the service will continue to evolve, but it seems that it needs some work on the user stats for the new cloud mining functionality and the rest is apparently already working quite well.
Bitmain, one of the top names among the Bitcoin ASIC miner manufacturers, has announced their acquisition of Hashnest – a cloud mining platform which was originally named Snowball Exchange (Snowball.io). Hashnest's goal is to operate independently in order to build a reliable, economical and decentralized platform that serves the worldwide mining enthusiasts and hosting operators according to the new owner. Originally Snowball was more of a trade platform where you buy and sell actual hosted miners and popular only in China, but it seems that they are moving to providing hashrate to users that is backed up by a large mining farm(s) and opening to the rest to the world. We are not surprised from this news as we've recently discussed that cloud mining is going to become more and more attractive alternative to using physical miners for users that are mining crypto currencies. Do note however that as far as Hashnest is considered it is not regarded as a cloud mining service, but as a platform and there is a difference.
UMISOO, the first operator on Hashnest will provide 4 PHS of hashing power, and plans to start the Round 1 subscription at Beijing Time 22:00pm, 2nd September, 2014 (UCT+8:00 Time Zone). The price is flat at 0.0016 BTC per GHS. Due to the anticipated high demand, each user is limited to a maximum of 1000 GHS by default, though this limit can be increased further. The Round 1 hashrate is generated by AntMiner S2 mining hardware (4000 units) with a maintenance fee of $0.0032424 per GHS per Day. Doing some calculations if you purchase 1 THS hashrate you will currently be earning about 0.01834 BTC per day (about $8.78 USD) and the maintenance fee will be $3.2424 USD or the fee is about 37% of what you earn at the moment. The fee is a bit high, though the price per GHS on the other hand is very attractive compared to what other alternative cloud mining operations are currently offering. Even though doing some long term calculations it would take more than a year for you to just ROI, unless of course there is some significant increase in the Bitcoin price that will cause the fee percentage to get lower as it is calculated in dollar price.


It's said that neutral decor sells homes and, of course, it does.
It's tough to be offended by neutral colours, and then if buyers want to inject colour and pattern, it's not hard to do so. Neutral doesn't, by any means, have to be bland and boring though - it's all about how you put the look together with accessories, flooring and furniture. Neutral colours, especially white, also help to make rooms feel lighter, brighter and more spacious. The Dulux Light + Space Matt range (from £20.99 for 2.5ltr, www.dulux.co.uk) has the same intention.
These neutral and pastel colours use light-reflective particles to bounce light around, and work especially well in gloomy, north-facing rooms.
It's easy to live with unfinished DIY jobs, but once you've decided to put your home on the market, dodgy DIY is a big no-no. It can put buyers off and make them think they'll need to spend more time and money finishing the work than they necessarily will. If you can't do the jobs yourself, get a pro in - it will be money well spent. Even if you've finished the DIY, you need to keep on top of it because things deteriorate. Common problems include marks on walls, hairline cracks that keep opening and chipped woodwork. Things like this make your home look shabby, so going from room to room with a fresh eye and putting right the problems is worth the effort.
It's also worth scrutinising the outside of your home. Exterior maintenance is easy to overlook, but it's something a buyer's surveyor will pick up on, so it's worth pre-empting any remedial work, as it could save you time, money and hassle. Not maintaining the exterior can also lead to problems inside, such as damp caused by missing or slipped roof tiles, or faulty guttering. And don't forget kerb appeal - making a good first impression from outside your home is essential. Inside, a neat and tidy hallway also creates a good first impression - ensure there's enough storage for coats, shoes and scarves, etc, preferably out of sight.
Giving your home a really good clean - and cleaning, airing and tidying it before every viewing - is a must. If you have masses of personal items on display, consider packing them away. While making your home look too sterile won't help sell it, a cluttered home will put buyers off. Remember, they may look in cupboards and wardrobes, so stuffing these full of things isn't the answer because it shows you don't have enough storage space. Instead, create more storage, preferably built-in or in the loft or garden, or get the stuff out of your home and into a storage unit.
Make the most of the space you have - put a dining table in the kitchen (as long as it isn't a squeeze) to turn it into a kitchen-diner, and put the biggest bed you can comfortably fit in each bedroom. If you have a study or home office and the room would be more valuable as a bedroom, swap the desk for a bed, at least while you sell. The trick is to make your home easy for buyers to imagine as their home, and to move on emotionally so you can move on physically.

This is one of the reasons I think a 4.0L or 4.4L V8 M3 is a real possibility as a follow on to the 3.4L I6. I would not be suprised to see it initially in a wagon either ... just like I had stated below in response to RS4 questions.
: .
I will bet you that before the E46 M3 is replaced with a new model (in say 2007 or so) that we will see a V8 in it. I would even say that we will see one in the 2002-2004 time frame. Probably a 4.0L to comply with new DTM regs.

Quirky, brilliant 'Random World' engages at FAU Theatre Lab
December 6, 2016 By Hap Erstein Leave a Comment
Matt Stabile and Elizabeth Price in This Random World. (Photo by NIki Fridh)
"Connect, Georges," says Dot to a brilliant, but obtuse pointillist painter in the musical Sunday in the Park with George. And in a similar way, theatergoers at Steven Dietz's wise and witty comedy of missed connections, This Random World, will want to shout to the characters to open their eyes and understand what links them.
Dietz's intricately structured script, now receiving its second-ever production at FAU Theatre Lab on the Boca Raton campus, juggles eight vivid characters who are at the mercy of the capricious way of the world. From the start, as a 38-year-old self-assured woman plans her own funeral, death hovers over the evening, yet the play brims with life — enigmas and all.
That woman, Beth Ward (perky, quirky Elizabeth Price), is contemplating her demise largely because she is headed off on vacation to risk-fraught Nepal. Her younger brother Tim (fuzzy-headed Joseph Ferrarelli) scoffs at Beth's suggestion that he too should prepare for the inevitable. With tongue in cheek, he posts his obituary online, a prank that will have perplexing consequences.
And they both bemoan the fact that their mother, Scottie (Harriet Oser) has never seen "more of the world than the three-mile radius she's lived in for the last 50 years," unaware that she is secretly a veteran global traveler.
Meanwhile, across town at a dreadful restaurant, a tech designer named Gary (Matt Stabile) is breaking up with his morose girlfriend Clair (Kelli Mohrbacher, who makes depression very funny). Coincidentally — a frequent element of the play — Clair was once a high school sweetheart of Tim's and Gary is soon off on a bucket list adventure in Nepal where he will run into Beth.
And then there is Scottie's health aide Bernadette (Maha McCain), whose mother has recently died, and Bernadette's sister Rhonda (Cherise James), who works at the funeral home where Tim goes to straighten out his obit snafu. The fact that Rhonda is convinced that he is actually dead is one of Dietz's better comic conceits. Lastly, there is a character listed in the program only as "A Man" (Dan Leonard), but by the time of his 11th-hour entrance, we know he must have some link to the others.
Harriet Oser and Cherise James in This Random World. (Photo by Niki Fridh)
Dietz, a prolific playwright who has had several of his scripts (Lonely Planet, Private Eyes, Yankee Tavern) produced by Theatre Lab artistic director Louis Tyrrell, has a knack for tossing out profound statements with a lightly humorous spin. With This Random World, he writes a series of seemingly independent vignettes, which build in impact because of their wry interconnections.
Tyrrell's direction maximizes both the mordant comedy and wisdom, thanks in no small part to his very savvy casting. He employs well familiar faces from the South Florida stage community — Oser, Price, Stabile and Leonard — plus a couple of standout performers — Mohrbacher and James — from outside of the region.
Robert F. Wolin's ingenious set of several mobile units with a maze design manages to define the play's ever-shifting performance spaces while also serving as a metaphor for its theme of interrelatedness.
Since the demise of his Florida Stage five years ago, Tyrrell has continued to showcase new work in American theater by emerging writers and established voices such as Dietz's. More often than not, he has been able to bring his audiences gems like This Random World, leaving them with a few laughs and something of consequence to mull.
THIS RANDOM WORLD, FAU Theatre Lab, Parliament Hall on FAU campus, 777 Glades Road, Boca Raton. Through Dec. 18. $35. 561-297-6124.

Hillary's GOP outreach: Could it do more harm than good for Democrats?
Clinton has been working to convert Republicans, but it could very well backfire
By Gary Legum
Hillary Clinton speaks at the American Legion's 98th Annual Convention in Cincinnati, Aug. 31, 2016. (AP/Andrew Harnik)
Could Hillary Clinton's outreach to some traditional Republican constituencies cost the Democrats the House and Senate? That is the implication of a poll released on Thursday. Conducted by USA Today and Suffolk University, the poll suggests that a bare majority of Hillary voters – 52 percent – are very or somewhat likely to split the ticket when they vote, punching the ballot for Clinton for president but also a Republican for Congress. By contrast, a slight majority of Donald Trump supporters say they will vote straight Republican up and down the ballot.
The split-ticket numbers could be good news for Republicans hoping to hold onto their majorities in Congress, particularly in the Senate. (The House has always been a long shot to flip.) And that's to say nothing of races at the state and local levels. And these numbers open up the Clinton campaign's general-election strategy this summer to Monday-morning quarterbacking.
Has Clinton spent too much of her time reaching out to Republicans? That question has been asked almost from the minute she wrapped up the Democratic nomination early this summer. Reports immediately surfaced that her campaign had started talking to GOP donors and operatives, many of whom were appalled that their party had nominated Trump and thus possibly receptive to endorsing and supporting Clinton. There was immediate grumbling from the Democratic base, even though the candidate did not appear to be moderating any of her policy positions to attract those Republicans.
On the one hand, the strategy made some sense. A politician who wants to win will mine every corner for votes. At the very least, reminding Republicans that their choices for president are either their hated enemy of a quarter century, Hillary Clinton, or the racist scrap of aged cigar paper that their party had nominated might convince a significant number to stay home in November. Which would only help her and any down-ballot candidates in tight races.
On the other hand, why not try to hang Trump like a millstone around the collective neck of the Republican Party? Why not remind the public at every turn that this warped, deformed version of the party of Lincoln, the electoral equivalent of Quasimodo without the redeeming inner beauty, was fundamentally broken as a political institution and shouldn't be trusted to run so much as an ice cream truck, let alone the massive apparatus of government? This strategy would, in theory, marginalize the GOP and make it toxic for generations.
The risk there would be in activating Republican voters' "brand loyalty" to their party, pissing them off to the point that those who had been on the fence about bothering to vote might get angry and turn out in large numbers.
Clinton's speech in Reno last week, where she excoriated Trump for appealing to what the media has politely referred to as the "alt-right" (but that most people describe as the "racist fringe of xenophobic white supremacists that should be drubbed out of society") seemed to carry out both strategies at the same time. The speech tied Trump to the modern-day GOP and held it responsible for creating this monster but seemed to suggest that the party could still save itself by repudiating him.
But now it seems it may be time to pick one strategy and stick with it. For one thing, as Ed Kilgore notes, the strategy of picking up crossover votes isn't doing much and might even be hurting the down-ballot races. When a strategy is actively harming your party, it's time to set it aside.
For another, Trump's immigration speech on Wednesday should have removed any doubt about him for even the most clueless, disengaged voter. If that 70 minutes of bombast and flat-out fascism didn't convince the last few remaining GOP holdouts that he would be far and away the most dangerous president in the history of the republic, then nothing will. If any Republicans are still going to support him out of some twisted sense of party loyalty, then there is nothing to be done.
We'll see after Labor Day, when the real campaign begins, what the Clinton campaign is thinking. For all I know, the strategy has long been to give the GOP a chance to save itself before going at it hard in the fall. But for the moment, to the extent that a presidential campaign can influence the balance of the Senate and House, the current strategy of reaching out isn't helping Democrats. It's time to move onto something else.

Nicholas conDoin (Lord-Admiral)
Prince Nicholas conDoin, also Admiral Nicholas, is the youngest son of Arutha and brother to the King Borric and regent Erland.
As a child, he had a deformed foot. This made him resent his disability, so he swore to himself to go where all the other children could. His brothers, and others, often teased him about it. His father Arutha was a protective figure and his mother Anita was a caring person. The result was a cautious child, which Arutha worried about being a leader one day.
The King's Buccaneer Edit
Arutha sent Nicholas to his uncle Martin Longbow in Crydee to break his over-cautious nature. He created a rivalry with his cousin Marcus over a girl. However, while hunting with his cousins, Crydee was sacked. He beseeched Pug for help. Pug aided him by mending his deformed foot. He then sailed to Novindus to rescue the Kingdom citizens from their abductors. He uncovered a plot by the Pantathians, and freed the enslaved citizens, and sailed home.

After Arutha's death, Nicholas became Prince of Krondor until Prince Partick was of the right age to rule. He observed Erik von Darkmoor and Rupert Avery's trials and sentenced them to death. However, this was revealed to be a fake execution. Several years later, when Calis' Crimson Eagles had to escape Maharta, he sailed a ship out to meet them while Krondor was watched over by King Borric and Prince Erland.
During the Invasion of the Emerald Queen, Nicholas was struck in the stomach by a arrow and died at sea. He had no children.

Route des Grandes Alpes is a trip we started to think about last year. Klaus, one of our good friends made the trip three years ago and after we saw his pictures we decided we should make this trip as well.
Klaus and his wife, Angelika, agreed they would join, as did another good friend Christian.
The plan was to leave late in June and take two weeks. This would give us the best chance to be ahead of the Summer vacation tourists and have good weather. The first week would be the Routes des Grandes Alpes and the second week used for working our way over more Alpes Passes and back to Nürnberg.
Klaus and I left late afternoon on Friday June 24th and spent the nigh in with his friends Alex and Babsi in Ulm.
Judith, Angelika and Christian left Saturday morning to meet us in Evian France, where the real journey was to begin.
As it turns out our timing was perfect - both for avoiding traffic and tourists, as well as good weather. We had very little of the former and lots of the latter.
Here is a tiny sample of what we saw traveling through the Alps.
I posted lots of pictures with more information about the trip Here. Please take a look.
Our trip was absolutely wonderful in every way.

Pollard Gearing Up for a 'Heck of a Show' in Indy
Less than a week after cashing in on a $75,000 victory north of the border at Jukasa Motor Speedway, Bubba Pollard is back in the United States and ready to compete in yet another marquee Late Model event, the Speed51 Super Select.
The inaugural Super Late Model All-Star race will comprise some of the biggest names in the short track sphere at the legendary Lucas Oil Raceway in Indianapolis, IN. Pollard will be one of the few drivers representing Georgia in his No. 26 machine.
"It's going to be fun," Pollard said in an interview during Speed51's The Morning Bullring. "I think there's going to be good cars, I heard some good guys are coming. It's a lot of racing for us, we've been struggling."
Aside from the Canadian Short Track Nationals, Pollard has raced in a myriad of notable short track events this year including the Oxford 250 (ME), World Series of Asphalt Stock Car Racing (FL) and the Slinger Nationals (WI), just to name a few.
The Super Select would be another notch on the belt of a driver known for his ability to enter races as a first timer and leave a winner.
"It's going to be a heck of a show," Pollard said. "You don't see this group, this caliber of drivers together all the time like you're going to see this weekend. So I think that's what's going to be cool about the race. I don't believe you're going to see any riding around. These guys are going to get after it and get it done. They're racing for one thing."
While the winner-take-all prize of $10,000 is the main reason invitees are heading to Indiana this Saturday, an opportunity to beat Pollard— one of the most accomplished asphalt veterans— is a close second. And the fact that NASCAR is in town, just might be a third.
Mirroring the Super Select, the stars of NASCAR will be competing this weekend at the famed Indianapolis Motor Speedway just seven miles away from Lucas Oil Raceway. Drivers and spectators alike will have the chance to enjoy both sides of the fence in one convenient trip to Indy.
For Pollard though, the grass on the grassroots side of the sport is green enough.
"I think short track racing is a lot better than NASCAR racing," Pollard teased. "No, it'll be fun. Hopefully some of those guys get to come over and they can support short track and the grassroots of racing. Get some fans to the race track, that's what we need."
Fans heading to Lucas Oil Raceway on September 7 can get all they need to know about the Speed51 Super Select by visiting the Super Select Central page here on Speed51.com. There you can get the latest in updated entries, the event schedule, race procedures, the latest news, video, photos and more. Click here to visit.
While there is no substitute for enjoying Indy at its finest, short track fans from all across the globe can watch the Speed51 Super Select live on the Speed51 Network by becoming a monthly or yearly subscriber. To begin enjoying the benefits of a premium membership today, click here.

A little after 10 AM eastern time, Donald Trump tweeted that he would be participating in a 2016 Q&A hosted by @TwitterNYC. Then, Twitter exploded. #AskTrump promptly started trending across the United States. Soon after, it started trending worldwide.
In the United States, with every successive political season, social media becomes more intertwined with the centuries-old democratic process. Microblogging websites like Twitter offer politicians the opportunity to fire off hundreds of short, simple posts every day; Twitter has become a virtual platform for politicians that's always open, a place where someone is always listening. During the latest Republican debate, Democratic presidential hopeful Senator Bernie Sanders found quite an audience on Twitter.
The British government's plan to appoint a director of digital engagement, with responsibility for overseeing a move to engage more with citizens through social media and other digital technology, has been ridiculed by the main opposition party.
Compared to the US, the state of British political blogging tends to receive far less attention, yet it hasn't stopped a prominent politician in the British government slamming the UK's political bloggers for "spreading corrosive cynicism".
Wrapped up in a speech which called for politicians to come from a wider social base, Hazel Blears accused political bloggers of fuelling disengagement by "unearthing scandals, conspiracies and perceived hypocrisy" and having "disdain for the political system and politicians".

Grant & Forsyth war ein britisches Country-Pop-Duo, das mit Coverversionen internationaler Hits hauptsächlich in den Niederlanden Erfolge hatte.

Biografie
Julie Forsyth ist die Tochter des englischen Showmasters Bruce Forsyth. Dominic Grant hatte bereits 1982 mit der Solosingle I Won't Let Me Down einen Top-20-Hit in der niederländischen Hitparade. Die beiden Musiker waren von 1974 bis zu deren Auflösung im Dezember 1985 Mitglieder der englischen Vokalgruppe Guys 'n' Dolls, die mit Hits wie There's a Whole Lot of Loving (1975), You Don't Have to Say You Love Me (1976) und You're My World (1977) bekannt wurde. Anschließend kam es zur Gründung des Duos Grant & Forsyth.

Mit Coverversionen bekannter Poptitel erlangten sie ab 1986 besonders in den Niederlanden Popularität. Mit einem Medley aus Frankie Vallis The Sun Ain't Gonna Shine Anymore und The Ronettes' Be My Baby gelang dort im Frühjahr 1988 der Sprung in die Top 20. Im Sommer folgte Anything for You, dessen Original von Gloria Estefan stammt, und erreichte die Top 40.

Ab 1990 ergänzten Grant & Forsyth ihren Stil durch Elemente der Country-Musik. Das Album Country Love Songs wurde zum größten Erfolg des Duos und kletterte auf Platz 6 der niederländischen Charts. Auch die Auskopplungen Somewhere Between und To Know You Is to Love You, die wie alle anderen Lieder des Longplayers Coverversionen bekannter Countryklassiker sind, wurden zu Charthits. Ende des Jahres knüpften das Weihnachtsalbum Country Christmas und die Single The Greatest Gift of All, im Original von Kenny Rogers und Dolly Parton gesungen, an diesen Erfolg an.

Mit Country Love Songs 2 platzierte sich 1991 auf Rang 17 ein weiteres Album der Briten in den Niederlanden. Die Auskopplung Turning Over New Leaves war das bisher letzte Lied in den Singlecharts. Sieben weitere Studioalben und drei Kompilationen schafften in den darauffolgenden Jahren den Einstieg in die Hitparade der Niederlande. Darauf sind Coversongs wie Smokies Lay Back in the Arms of Someone, John Denvers Take Me Home, Country Roads und CCRs Bad Moon Rising/Proud Mary zu finden.

Die bisher letzte gemeinsame Veröffentlichung von Julie Forsyth und Dominic Grant ist die Single Anyone Who Had a Heart aus dem Jahr 2013.

Dominic Grant starb am 18. November 2020.

So after a few weeks of complaining about Microsoft and Windows something happened. Quite by accident, I visited the Edraw Max website only to discover that they now have a Linux version of the software. Now I could live my Ubuntu fantasy or so I thought.
After a few minutes of using the open source video driver. I was about ready to pull my root hairs out. After hours of work I finally figured out how to install the official Intel graphics driver and the internet was not really that helpful.
This is a guide about how you can install the latest Intel graphics driver in Ubuntu 16.04. I constantly digress to tell you how awesome I am; because I am totally awesome but you will find it helpful if you are using Ubuntu on a computer with the Intel Graphics chips e.g. HP laptops.
It's an LTS (Long Term Support) edition which will receive updates until April 2021. In other versions, support only lasts for 9 months. Change is distracting.
Why do I need this driver anyway?
After installing Ubuntu your system will be using open source graphics. The developers at Ubuntu have worked really hard to make sure that you will have some sort of working desktop even when there are no drivers. The experience, however, is not ideal.
Some of the annoyances of not installing graphic drivers are quite cosmetic. A rubbish desktop that is not so crisp looking, resolution not living up to its billing etc. Often times lacking proper drivers can be catastrophic for example you want to close your laptop lid and go for a break. When you come back you are met with a black screen no matter what you do.
YouTube videos flicker, you cannot make screencasts, you cannot take screenshots without kittens dying on your screen, your software is busy chewing through some of your processor's power instead of the GPU wasting resources. You cannot play awesome games.
You cannot use the HDMI port. Need I go on?
You need a graphics driver made by the people who made your graphics card.
This part is easy and well documented all over the web.
Go to the web Intel Website drivers website and download the installer for your platform.
For most people, the 64-bit installer should do it.
Now we get to the slightly hairy part. Not so long ago Microsoft (I know they love Linux now) decided to make things difficult and introduced secure boot. What it all means is that you will need permission (signed binary) from Redmond if you want to mess with the boot process. It protects devices from certain types of malware but it also complicates things.
The way of installing drivers we have just outlined above works by using the DKMS (Dynamic Kernel Module Support) framework. What it means is that drivers (modules) are created on the fly on your system. The system cannot load them unless they are signed if you are using Secure Boot and there is no easy way for the Kernel to sign them.
To use the drivers you have to secure boot mode.
You will be asked to enter the password. You will not usually be asked for the entire password. To make sure you are paying attention you are asked for random characters from your password e.g. "Enter the third letter of your password" Be sure to press enter after typing each letter.
NB Should you be unhappy with this procedure for some reason you can enable Secure Boot using the command: sudo update-secureboot-policy –enable in the terminal.
I really hope you will find this guide useful. If there are any errors or typos, whatever you need to add please feel free to leave a comment.
I tend to do the old fashion way of disabling UEFI booting by pressing F9, then go to boot options, once in, l press F5 to enable or disable UEFI booting, then press F10 to save the settings, done.
But if you are dual booting, most of the time Micro$haft updates their OS, then always enable it and you will be faced with black screen with "No disk found" error. Just go through the process again.
You left the actual part of installing driver, do you first install the driver and disable the secure booting or the other way round?
I would further say Ubuntu LTS versions are meant for business and people who do not want changes to their OS every 6 months. LTS are stable versions which only gets security and critical updates without altering the OS which might affect business users.
The Installer (a .deb) takes care of the installation process. Then you will have to disable UEFI to allow the driver to load.

In order "to build the university the world needs now," Roger Williams University has chosen six goals listed under "Our Vision" on the official website. These goals include working with local and global communities in order to address societal problems; utilizing transformative educational experiences to prepare students to fulfill their fullest potential; meeting the higher education needs of the learners at the university; being affordable for admitted students; hiring faculty, staff, and students who reflect the diversity of the region; and promoting sustainability as a core principle.
But how committed is Roger Williams University to its goal? Specifically when concerning the aspect of affordability, how does RWU's tuition compare to that of similar colleges? To answer this question, several different aspects of various colleges/universities similar to RWU in size, academics, and campus life were investigated.
Each of the four schools – Bryant College, Bentley University, Endicott College, and Salve Regina University – had an undergraduate student body ranging in size from 2,000 – 4,000 students and had a 93 percent average of freshman population living on campus.
When it comes to tuition costs, RWU seems to compare similarly to these four schools. Based on the tuition prices listed on each university's official website, RWU's per semester tuition is lower than that of the other four universities. Additionally, it is the only one that ensures a tuition freeze.
Compared to the national average, RWU is relatively well priced. The national average for four-year private universities for the current 2017-2018 school year was $34,740, about $2,500 over RWU's $32,232.
According to a CNN article, in the past year, the average annual price for four-year private colleges rose by $800 and by $300 for public colleges. Thus, perhaps the issue of tuition cost for students at RWU is not one tied directly to the university, but rather a problem tied to the ever-rising cost of obtaining higher education.
While this news does nothing to alleviate the financial burden students are facing, it might bring them comfort to know that RWU seems to be on the lower end of tuition costs.

Q: When to use "am not" and "do not" in a sentence
"I don't know what I'd do without you"
"I'm not know what I'd do without you"

Are these sentences correct?
What are the rules to use "not" in a sentence?
To what is not pointing in the above sentences?

A: When you are negating with not, look at the finite verb in the clause, the one that carries person and tense.

*

*If it is an auxiliary verb (the first verb in a verbal construction) or a form of be, you may simply add not:

He is here. ... The verb is a form of be. >>> He is not here.
  He has arrived. ... The verb has is an auxiliary. >>> He has not arrived.
  He must have arrived. ... The verb must is an auxiliary. >>> He must not have arrived.

*Otherwise, you require DO-support:

He came today. ... The verb came is not an auxiliary. >>> He did not come today.
  He arrived today. ... The verb arrived is not an auxiliary. >>> He did not arrive today.
  He has a car. ... Here has is not an auxiliary but a lexical verb meaning 'possesses'. >>> He does not have a car.

Until the twentieth century it was common to negate lexical HAVE without DO-support, but this is disappearing. Even earlier any verb might be negated without DO-support, but that died out by the nineteenth century.

A: "I don't know " is correct. It is the negative of "I know". Other examples:
I like it. (positive) - I do not like it. (negative)
I watch TV. (positive) - I do not watch TV. (negative)
"I'm not know" is wrong. If you try to say the negative of "I know", that is "I don't know". If you want to use "I am not", it is the negative of "I am". For example"
I am from France.(positive) - I am not from France (negative)
I am tired. (positive) -  I am not tired. (negative)
I am cooking. (positive) - I am not cooking. (negative)

A: The constructions you are looking at are different and represent important structures in English.
"I do X" where X is a verb is an example of do-support. Technically, you don't need to use do-support in positive statements, e.g. "I do know". When do-support is used with positive statements then do acts to emphasise the claim. E.g.

A: Do you know your twelve times table?
  B: Yes, I know it.
  A: I bet you're lying to sound clever.
  B: I am not! I do know it!

In the above example the do is used as emphasis by B.
In negative situations, do is used as an auxillary (or helper) verb when denying something, e.g. "I do not know." This is because *"I not know" is not grammatical.
Do-support is only used with the infinitive, i.e. the form of verb that matches its name.
So you say

*

*"I do not know", never *"I do not knowing".

*"He does not know", never *"He does not knows".

In these situations not is pointing to the verb being supported by do. I.e. not is negating the verb.
Your other construction: "I am X", where X is a verb. Here am is also a helper verb. Am is a form of the verb be. Using be in this way is using it as a copular verb. That means it is joining something to something else. For example in "I am happy" am is joining the subject I to the adjective (descriptive word) happy. The same is happening in "He is cold", he is the subject and cold is the adjective it is being joined to.
When used with a verb, be joins the subject to the finite forms of the verb (finite meaning the forms that change based on who is the subject and whether you're talking about past, present, future, etc.). For example: "I am writing an answer". This uses be to create the present progressive form of write.
When creating a negative statement about your actions, then you use the same form of the verb, e.g. "I am not writing an answer".
In this example not is pointing to writing.
Back to your examples: *"I am not know" is wrong because know is the infinitive form, and am must work with a finite form. However, because of the type of verb that know is, saying *"I am not knowing" is also wrong. This is complicated to explain and I can't think of other verbs that behave like this right now.
As a rule of thumb, when making statements about what you or others do not know, use do, never use be.

A: I get that what you are trying to write is the negation of "I know" in "I know what I'd do without you."
Using the simple present, the negation of a verb that is not be, used in a sentence that is not a question, is done by adding "don't" or "doesn't" (the latter is for the third person singular) between the subject, and the verb. In your case, the sentence becomes:

I don't know what I'd do without you.

At last, laptop is fully functioning and I can sit down with a big mug of tea and write a blog post.
I am no stranger to the world of exams. Starting with SATS in Year 6, tests have since been an annual occurrence at the end of the school year. However, come GCSEs, not only do you have to endure your spring and summer time in a haze of revision, but January suddenly becomes a dreaded month of studying too. Whether you have mocks, resits, or like me, an essay and an end of module exam, January examinations can be the worst.
Unfortunately, Christmas sends you into a false sense of relaxation. I somehow think that because it is Christmas, I can procrastinate for ages, when in reality, the deadlines are looming, and the stress builds up as does your work.
Know your deadlines – Before you start any piece of work or revision, make sure you know the timings of everything. Once you have found out the deadline, you have a certain time to aim for, which creates motivation.
Be organised – Organisation is the most important thing in my eyes in preparing for exams. If your desk and folders are messy, it can be stressful even just looking at them and knowing where to start. Know where everything is and what you are doing from the word 'go'!
Space – one thing I do not like when revising, is having to work in a cramped space. I like to be able to see everything I need and spread out! Whether this is a large table, a wall to cover in post-it-notes, or everyone leaving you alone to study, space does really help to calm you down.
Take a Break – Whilst we do need to work and prepare ourselves for exams, this cannot be done without some me time. Even stopping work for 5 minutes and having a cup of tea can do a world of good and help relax the mind. My personal favourite, as I'm sure you all know, is a bubble bath. If you have spent all day reading, writing or researching, it is important to shut your eyes for a bit and treat your body with nice bath products.
Hopefully this should improve your work ethic and get you those results you want. Good luck everyone!

\section{Introduction}
Recently,
laser spectroscopic measurements of the ground state hyperfine splitting
in high $Z$ hydrogenlike ions became possible at ESR [1]
and at the Super-EBIT [2]. The present status of theory of
the hyperfine splitting in high Z hydrogenlike ions is discussed in [3].
One of possible directions of further experiments is an extension
of the investigations to high $Z$ lithiumlike ions. Recently
the hyperfine structure values of lithiumlike ions were
calculated in the range $Z=7-30$ [4] in connection with
astrophysical search and for $^{209}{\rm Bi}^{80+}$ (without the QED correction)
[5] in connection with experiments at GSI [1]. In  Sec. 2
of the present paper we refine the calculation of [5] for
$^{209}{\rm Bi}^{80+}$, considering a more accurate treatment of the nuclear
effects and taking into account the QED corrections, and extend
it to lithiumlike ions in the range $Z=49-83$, which are likely
candidates for the experiments.
 In addition, a method based on
using the experimental values of the $1s$ hyperfine splitting
for determination of the
Bohr-Weisskopf effect in the lithiumlike ions is proposed.
This method is used to reduce the uncertainty of the
ground state hyperfine splitting in $^{209}{\rm Bi}^{80+}$
and $^{165}{\rm Ho}^{64+}$.
It gives a  possibility  for testing the magnetic sector
of QED.
 In Sec. 3 the transition
probabilities between the hyperfine structure components
are calculated.

\section{Hyperfine splitting values}
The energy difference between the ground state hyperfine
 splitting components of a lithiumlike ion
is conveniently written in the form [5]:

\begin{eqnarray}
\Delta E_{(1s)^{2}2s}&=&\frac{1}{6}\alpha (\alpha Z)^{3}\frac{m}{m_{p}}
\frac{\mu}{\mu_{N}}\frac{2I+1}{2I} mc^{2}\Bigl\{
[A(\alpha Z)(1-\delta)(1-\varepsilon)+x_{\rm rad}]
\nonumber\\
&&+
\frac{1}{Z}B(\alpha Z)+\frac{1}{Z^{2}}C(\alpha Z)+\cdots\Bigr\}\;.
\end{eqnarray}
Here $\alpha$ is the fine structure constant,
 $I$ is the nuclear spin, $\mu$ is the nuclear magnetic moment,
$\mu_{N}$ is the nuclear magneton, $m_{p}$ is the proton mass.
$A(\alpha Z)$ is the one-electron relativistic factor
\begin{eqnarray}
A(\alpha Z)=\frac{2[2(1+\gamma)+\sqrt{2(1+\gamma)}]}{(1+\gamma)^{2}
\gamma (4\gamma^{2}-1)}=1+\frac{17}{8}(\alpha Z)^{2}+\frac{449}{128}
(\alpha Z)^{4}+\cdots\;,
\end{eqnarray}
$\gamma=\sqrt{1-(\alpha Z)^{2}}$.  $\delta$ and $\varepsilon$ denote the
nuclear charge and magnetization distribution corrections.
 $x_{\rm rad}$ is the one-electron
radiative correction. The terms $B(\alpha Z)/Z$ and $C(\alpha Z)/Z^{2}$
correspond to interelectronic interaction contributions.

\subsection{One-electron contribution}

The one-electron contribution is enclosed in the square brackets of
the equation (1). We denote it by $a_{2s}$:
\begin{eqnarray}
a_{2s}=A^{(2s)}(\alpha Z)(1-\delta^{(2s)})(1-\varepsilon^{(2s)})
+x_{\rm rad}^{(2s)}\,.
\end{eqnarray}
To calculate the nuclear charge distribution correction $\delta$ we used
the two-parameter Fermi model
with the  parameters
taken from [6].

\subsubsection{ Bohr-Wesskopf effect}

The Bohr-Weisskopf correction $\varepsilon$  is given by
the equations
\begin{eqnarray}
\varepsilon&=&\frac{\langle IM_{I}|
\Delta Q_{S}^{z}+\Delta Q_{L}^{z}+\Delta Q_{\rm SO}^{z}|IM_{I}\rangle}
{\langle IM_{I}|Q_{\mu}^{z}|IM_{I}\rangle}\,,\\
\Delta Q_{S}^{z}&=&\sum_{i=1}^{A}g_{si}[s_{zi}K_{S}(r_{i})
+\sqrt{\frac{\pi}{2}}[Y_{2i}\otimes\sigma_{i}]^{1}_{z}
(K_{S}(r_{i})-K_{L}(r_{i}))]\,,\\
\Delta Q_{L}^{z}&=&\sum_{i=1}^{A}g_{li}l_{zi}K_{L}(r_{i})\,,\\
\Delta Q_{\rm SO}^{z}&=&\sum_{i=1}^{A}
g_{li}
\frac{2m_{p}}{3\hbar^{2}}
[s_{zi}+\sqrt{\frac{\pi}{2}}[Y_{2i}\otimes\sigma_{i}]^{1}_{z}]
\phi(r_{i})r_{i}^{2}K_{L}(r_{i})\,,\\
Q_{\mu}^{z}&=&\sum_{i=1}^{A}[g_{si}s_{zi}+g_{li}l_{zi}
+g_{li}\frac{2m_{p}}{3\hbar^{2}}
(s_{zi}+\sqrt{\frac{\pi}{2}}[Y_{2i}\otimes\sigma_{i}]^{1}_{z})
\phi(r_{i})r_{i}^{2}]\,,
\end{eqnarray}
where
$$
K_{S}(r)=\frac{\int_{0}^{r}fg\,dr'}{\int_{0}^{\infty}fg\,dr'}\;,
$$
$$
K_{L}(r)=\frac{\int_{0}^{r}\Bigl(1-\frac{r'^{3}}{r^{3}}\Bigr)
fg\,dr'}{\int_{0}^{\infty}fg\,dr'}\;,
$$
$g$ and $f$ are the radial parts of the Dirac wave function of
the electron  defined by
$$
\psi_{n\kappa m}({\bf r})=
\left(\begin{array}{c}
g_{n\kappa}(r)\Omega_{\kappa m}({\bf n})\\
if_{n\kappa}(r)\Omega_{-\kappa m}({\bf n})
\end{array}\right)\;.\\
$$
$A$ is the number of nucleons.
 The term $\Delta Q_{\rm SO}^{z}$ and the related term in (8) are caused by the
spin-orbit interaction:
$$
V_{\rm SO}(r)=\phi(r)({\bf s}\cdot{\bf l})\,.
$$
Neglecting these terms gives the equations derived in [7].
In the case of the single particle nuclear model
the equations (4)-(8) were used in [3] for calculations
of the Bohr-Weisskopf effect for the $1s$ state.
We  extended these calculations to the $2s$ state.
The uncertainty due to deviation from the single particle
nuclear model  was estimated in the same way as in [3].
This uncertainty gives a dominant contribution to the error bars of
the hyperfine splitting values. So, more accurate calculations
of the Bohr-Weisskopf effect including  a consequent procedure
for determination of the uncertainty are necessary.
Such calcualations, based on a dynamic-correlation model [8,9],
are underway and will be published elsewhere.
However, the uncertainty of the Bohr-Weisskopf effect can be
considerably reduced
 if the $1s$ hyperfine
splitting value is known from experiment with
 sufficient precision. To explain this point, let us
consider the equations (4)-(8).
As one can see from these equations, the Bohr-Weisskopf effect
depends of the electronic structure only through the functions
$K_{S}(r)$ and $K_{L}(r)$.
Simple approximate expressions for these functions
were derived in [10].
As it follows from these expressions
and is confirmed by more accurate calculations,
 with high precision ($\sim$ 0.1\% for $Z$=83)
 the functions
$K_{S}(r)$ and $K_{L}(r)$
  for
the $2s$ state are different from those for the $1s$ state
only by an overall factor denoted in [10] by $b$.
(This fact can easily be understood if we take into
account that
the binding energy of the electron ($W=E-mc^2$) is small
in comparison with the nuclear potential
 ($V(r)$) in the nuclear region. So, the binding energy
 gives only a small correction to behaviour
of the functions $g(r)$ and $f(r)$ within the nucleus.)
It follows that the Bohr-Weisskopf effect for the $2s$
state can be  found by using $\varepsilon$
for the $1s$ state and the values of the overall factors
tabulated in [10]
(while the
 relative precision of $b$ in [10] is of order
$\alpha Z R/(\hbar/mc)$, where $R$ is the nuclear radius,
the precision
of the ratio $b^{(2s)}/b^{(1s)}$ is  higher by orders of magnitude).
If the $1s$ hyperfine splitting is known from experiment,
the Bohr-Weisskopf effect for the $1s$ state
is derived from the equation
\begin{eqnarray}
\varepsilon^{(1s)}=\frac{\Delta E_{\rm NS}^{(1s)}
+\Delta E_{\rm QED}^{(1s)}
-\Delta E_{\rm exp}^{(1s)}}
{\Delta E_{\rm NS}^{(1s)}}\,,
\end{eqnarray}
where $\Delta E_{\rm NS}^{(1s)}$ is the theoretical
 hyperfine splitting value including the relativistic and
nuclear charge distribution effects,
$\Delta E_{\rm QED}^{(1s)}$ is the theoretical QED contribution,
and $\Delta E_{\rm exp}^{(1s)}$ is the experimental value
of the $1s$ hyperfine splitting.
The Bohr-Weisskopf effect for the $2s$ state
is calculated by
\begin{eqnarray}
\varepsilon^{(2s)}=\varepsilon^{(1s)}\frac{b^{(2s)}}{b^{(1s)}}\,.
\end{eqnarray}
High precision experimental values of the $1s$ hyperfine
splitting  were found for $^{209}{\rm Bi}^{82+}$ ($\lambda=243.87(4)$ nm)
[1] and for $^{165}{\rm Ho}^{66+}$ ($\lambda=572.79(15)$ nm) [2].
Using these experimental values and the related
 theoretical values from [3]
 (with $\mu=4.1106(2)\mu_{N}$ for $^{209}{\rm Bi}$ [11] and
$\mu=4.132(5)\mu_{N}$ for $^{165}{\rm Ho}$ [12,13,2]),
the equations (9)-(10) give
$\varepsilon^{(1s)}=0.0152(3)$,
$\varepsilon^{(2s)}=0.0164(4)$
 for $^{209}{\rm Bi}^{82+}$
 and
$\varepsilon^{(1s)}=0.0095(13)$,
$\varepsilon^{(2s)}=0.0101(14)$
for $^{165}{\rm Ho}^{66+}$. For comparison, the direct calculation,
based on the single particle nuclear model, gives
$\varepsilon^{(1s)}=0.0118(49)$,
$\varepsilon^{(2s)}=0.0127(53)$
 for $^{209}{\rm Bi}^{82+}$
 and
$\varepsilon^{(1s)}=0.0089(27)$,
$\varepsilon^{(2s)}=0.0094(28)$
for $^{165}{\rm Ho}^{66+}$.

\subsubsection{QED corrections}

The radiative correction is the sum of the vacuum polarization (VP) and
self energy (SE) contributions. The VP contribution
 is largely made up of the Uehling term.
Calculation of this term
was done in the same way as for the $1s$ state [3,14].
As to  the Wichman-Kroll
term, we calculated only the electric loop correction to the electron
wave function expecting that, like the VP screening
contribution for two-electron ions [15], the magnetic loop term is too small.

To calculate the SE contribution we used a covariant way
based on expansion of the electron propagator in terms
of external field [16,17].
The formal expression for this contribution can easily be
derived using the Green function method (see, e.g.,
[5]). The contribution of the diagram
with the hyperfine interaction outside the self-energy loop is
 divided into irreducible and reducible parts.
The reducible part is the part in which the
intermediate-state energy (between the self-energy loop and the hyperfine
interaction) coincides with the initial-state energy. The irreducible
part is the remaining one. The irreducible part is calculated in the same
way as the first order self-energy contribution.
The reducible part is grouped with the vertex diagram.
According to the Ward identity the counterterms for the vertex and the
reducible parts cancel each other and, so,
 the sum of these terms regularized in
the same covariant way is ultraviolet finite. To cancel the
 ultraviolet divergences we separate free propagators from the
bound electron lines and calculate them in the momentum
representation.  The remainder is ultraviolet finite but contains
infrared divergences, which are explicitly separated and cancelled.
The results of our calculation
for a finite nuclear charge distribution
for the $1s$ and $2s$ states,
 expressed in terms of the function
 $F(\alpha Z)$ defined by
\begin{eqnarray}
\Delta E_{\rm SE}=\frac{\alpha}{\pi}F(\alpha Z)\Delta E_{\rm NS}\,,
\end{eqnarray}
 are given in the table 1. A more detailed analysis of
the calculation is given in Ref. [18], which contains also
the results for a point nucleus.
In the case of the $1s$ state the calculation of the SE
contribution to the hyperfine splitting for a finite nuclear
charge distribution  was done first in [17,19] in a wide interval
of $Z$. In the case of $Z=83$ and a point nucleus such a calculation
was done in [20] where it was found
$x_{\rm SE}=-3.8\alpha$.
The present calculation
for $Z=83$ and a point nucleus
gives $x_{\rm SE}=-3.94\alpha$ (in the case of an extended nucleus,
$x_{\rm SE}=-3.09\alpha$). The discrepancy of the present result
with the one of Ref. [20] is caused by a spurious term which appears in
the non-covariant regularization procedure used in [20].
 A comparison of the present calculation for an extended
 nucleus with Refs. [17,19]
finds some discrepancy too.
So, for $Z=83$ our result is $F=-5.14(1)$ while in [17,19]
 it was obtained $F=-5.098$.
This discrepancy results from a small term in the vertex
contribution omitted in [17,19].
For the 1s state our results are
in good agreement with a recent calculation of Ref. [21]
where for $Z=83$ it is found $F=-5.1432$.

In addition to the nuclear charge distribution correction,
 there is also a nuclear magnetization distribution
correction to the QED effect (a combined QED - Bohr-Weisskopf effect).
This correction is expected to be negligible compared with
the uncertainty of the first order Bohr-Weisskopf effect.

Comparing the  VP and SE
contributions for the $1s$ and $2s$ states we found that,
within a few percent, they
 are related  by
\begin{eqnarray}
\frac{x_{\rm VP,SE}^{(2s)}}{A^{(2s)}}\approx\frac{x_{\rm
VP,SE}^{(1s)}}{A^{(1s)}}\,.
\end{eqnarray}
This means that, like the nuclear corrections
($\delta$ and $\varepsilon$) [10],
a dominant contribution to the QED corrections to the hyperfine
splitting arises from distances where the binding energy of the
electron is small compared with the nuclear potential.

The values of the one-electron corrections to the $2s$ hyperfine
splitting, with the Bohr-Weisskopf effect calculated within
the single particle nuclear model,
 are listed in the table 2.

\subsection{Interelectronic interaction corrections}

To find the function $B(\alpha Z)$ we have to calculate
the Feynman diagrams containing, in addition to the hyperfine
interaction line, a photon line corresponding to the
interelectronic interaction. Such a calculation for a point
nucleus with an approximate evaluation of the finite nuclear
size effect was done in [5]. In the present paper we calculate
this function  with accurate treatment of the nuclear
charge distribution effect. For that the formulas from [5]
and the finite basis set method for the Dirac equation [22-24]
are used. Like the one-electron contribution, it is convenient
to represent the function $B(\alpha Z)$ in
the form
\begin{eqnarray}
B(\alpha Z)=B_{0}(\alpha Z)(1-\delta_{B})(1-\varepsilon_{B})\,,
\end{eqnarray}
where $B_{0}(\alpha Z)$ is the point nucleus approximation of $B(\alpha Z)$,
$\delta_{B}$ is the nuclear charge distribution correction to this
function, and $\varepsilon_{B}$ is the nuclear magnetization
distribution correction. The values $B_{0}$ and $\delta_{B}$
are given in the second and third columns of the table 3. As one can see
from the tables 2 and 3, in agreement with an approximate evaluation
of the nuclear size effect for $B(\alpha Z)$ given in [5],
 the values $\delta_{B}$ are very close to the
related one-electron values $\delta$. It is natural to assume
that the nuclear magnetization correction $\varepsilon_{B}$ is also close
 to the related one-electron value $\varepsilon$ (this assumption
can be argued in the same way as the corresponding assumption for
$\delta$ in [5]).
 So, in the last
column of the table 3 we give the values $B(\alpha Z)$ corrected
by the factor $(1-\varepsilon)$.

The term $C(\alpha Z)/Z^{2}$ in equation (1) is small enough and
was estimated in the non-relativistic approximation:
\begin{eqnarray}
\frac{C(\alpha Z)}{Z^{2}}\approx \frac{C(0)}{Z^{2}}
\end{eqnarray}
The coefficient $C(0)$ was found from the CI-HF calculation of [4]
to be $C(0)=0.87\pm0.05$.

\subsection{Complete theoretical values}

In the table 4 we give the theoretical values of the energies and
wavelengths of the transition between the ground state hyperfine
splitting components of high $Z$ lithiumlike ions, based on using
the single particle nuclear model in the calculation of the
Bohr-Wesskopf effect.
The error bars given in the table are mainly defined by the uncertainty
of the Bohr-Weisskopf effect discussed in [3].
As is known (see tables 1 and 2 in [10]), the nuclear corrections
$\varepsilon$ and $\delta$ are weekly dependent functions of the the
principal quantum number $n$ for the $s$ states and, so,
cancel considerably in the the ratio of the $2s$ and $1s$ hyperfine
splitting values. It means that, if the value $\varepsilon$
is calculated in the same nuclear model for the $1s$ and $2s$
states, the ratio has a  higher precision than the individual
hyperfine splitting values. In this connection in the last column
of the table 4 we give the values $\eta$ defined by
\begin{eqnarray}
\eta=\frac{8\Delta E_{(1s)^{2}2s}}{\Delta E_{1s}}=
\frac{A^{(2s)}(1-\delta^{(2s)})(1-\varepsilon^{(2s)})
+x_{\rm rad}^{(2s)}+
\frac{B(\alpha Z)}{Z}+\frac{C(0)}{Z^{2}}}
{A^{(1s)}(1-\delta^{(1s)})(1-\varepsilon^{(1s)})
+x_{\rm rad}^{(1s)}}
\;.
\end{eqnarray}
These values can be useful for comparison experimental values
of the hyperfine splitting in the hydrogenlike and lithiumlike
ions of an isotope.
According to the equation (12) the one-electron QED corrections
are also considerably cancelled in the ratio (15) and, so, the
value $\eta$ is mainly defined by the functions $A(\alpha Z)$
and $B(\alpha Z)$.

More accurate calculations can be done
 for $^{209}{\rm Bi}^{80+}$ and
$^{165}{\rm Ho}^{64+}$  by
using the values of the Bohr-Weisskopf effect found above
from the  $1s$ hyperfine splitting experiments.
In addition, a combined interelectronic
interaction - QED correction can roughly be estimated
assuming
\begin{eqnarray}
\Delta E_{\rm int,QED}^{(2s)}\sim
 \frac{B(\alpha Z)}{Z}\frac{\Delta E_{\rm QED}^{(2s)}}
{A(\alpha Z)}\,.
\end{eqnarray}
This formula can be understood if we take into account that the
interelectronic interaction correction is mainly defined
by the direct Coulomb interaction of the $2s$ electron
with the  closed $1s$ shell [5].
Since a dominant contribution
to the QED correction arises from distances where the Coulomb
potential of the nucleus
is to be alone (see the text after the equation (12)),
the interaction of the $2s$ electron
with the spherically symmetric potential of
the closed $1s$ shell almost does not change the relative
value of the QED correction (it changes mainly the
normalization factor of the wave function
for small distances).
The precision of the estimate (16) is taken to be 50\%.
  Combining these corrections with
the other contributions from  the tables 2-4 gives
$\Delta E =$ 0.7969(2) eV ($\lambda=$ 1.5558(3)$\mu$m)
 for $^{209}{\rm Bi}^{80+}$
and $\Delta E =$ 0.3051(1) eV ($\lambda=$ 4.064(1) $\mu$m)
 for $^{165}{\rm Ho}^{64+}$.
The values of the individual contributions are given
in the table 5. It should be stressed here that the uncertainty
of the total hyperfine splitting values is not equal to the sum
of the uncertainties of the individual contributions given in the
table 5. It is caused by the fact that the total hyperfine splitting
value found in this way is stable enough in respect to possible
changes of the nuclear charge radius and the magnetic moment.
For explanation, let us represent the $2s$ hyperfine splitting
value in the form
\begin{eqnarray}
\Delta E^{(2s)}
&=&\Delta E_{\rm NS}^{(2s)}+
\Delta E_{\rm int,NS}^{(2s)}+
\nu(\Delta E_{\rm exp}^{(1s)}-
\Delta E_{\rm NS}^{(1s)})\nonumber\\
&&+
\Delta E_{\rm QED}^{(2s)}
+\Delta E_{\rm int,QED}^{(2s)}-
\nu\Delta E_{\rm QED}^{(1s)}\,,
\end{eqnarray}
where
\begin{eqnarray}
\nu=\frac{b^{(2s)}}{b^{(1s)}}\frac{\Delta E_{\rm NS}^{(2s)}+
\Delta E_{\rm int,NS}^{(2s)}}{
\Delta E_{\rm NS}^{(1s)}}\,,
\end{eqnarray}
$\Delta E_{\rm int,NS}^{(2s)}$ is the interelectronic interaction
contribution for a finite nuclear charge distribution.
(We note here that the theoretical value of
the Bohr-Weisskopf effect is eliminated
completly in (17).)
Taking, for example, a small variation of the magnetic moment
$\delta \mu$ we get
\begin{eqnarray}
\delta (\Delta E^{(2s)})&=&\frac{\delta \mu}{\mu}
\Bigl[(\Delta E_{\rm NS}^{(2s)}+\Delta E_{\rm int}^{(2s)})
\Bigl(1-\frac{b^{(2s)}}{b^{(1s)}}\Bigr)\nonumber\\
&&+\Delta E_{\rm QED}^{(2s)}+\Delta E_{\rm int,QED}^{(2s)}-
\nu\Delta E_{\rm QED}^{(1s)}\Bigr]\,.
\end{eqnarray}
Because the factor $(1-\frac{b^{(2s)}}{b^{(1s)}})$
is small (it constitutes -0.078 for $Z$=83) the ratio
$\delta(\Delta E^{(2s)})/\Delta E^{(2s)}$
 is smaller, at least,
by orders of magnitude than $\delta\mu/\mu$. Considering in the same way
a small variation of the nuclear charge
radius and taking into account that $\delta^{(1s)}$,
$\delta^{(2s)}$, and $\delta_{B}$ are considerably cancelled
in the equation (18) (e.g., in the case $Z=83$,
$(\delta^{(2s)}-\delta^{(1s)})/(\delta^{(1s)})$=0.069
and
$(\delta_{B}-\delta^{(1s)})/(\delta^{(1s)})$=0.14)
 we get a similar result.
 As to a small variation of
the $1s$ experimental hyperfine splitting value, we find
$\delta(\Delta E^{(2s)})/\Delta E^{(2s)}$=
$\delta(\Delta E_{\rm exp}^{(1s)})/\Delta E_{\rm exp}^{(1s)}$.
So, the uncertainty of the total hyperfine splitting value
is mainly defined by $\delta (\Delta E_{\rm exp}^{1s})$ and
the combined interelectronic interaction -QED term
estimated by (16).

\subsection{Testing QED effects}

One of the main objects of the investigations of the hyperfine
splitting of highly charged ions consists in testing QED effects
in  the strong electric and magnetic fields of  heavy nuclei.
As one can see from the table 5, the  QED contributions
for the $2s$ state are
larger than   the uncertainties of the hyperfine splitting values
 with the Bohr-Weisskopf effect found from the $1s$ hyperfine
splitting.
However, since the calculation of the
Bohr-Weisskopf effect includes the  QED correction of the $1s$ state,
it is natural to consider as a value derived from  QED
 the sum of the last three terms in the equation (17).
(Strictly speaking, division of the contributions
into QED and non-QED parts is not uniquely defined.
So, a part of the interelectronic
interaction contribution (the function $B(\alpha Z)$)
can  be considered  as a two-electron
QED effect [5]).
We find that the value derived from  QED  is
 0.0002(1) eV for $^{209}{\rm Bi}^{80+}$ and 0.0001 eV for $^{165}
{\rm Ho}^{64+}$.
Comparing these values with the uncertainty of the complete
theoretical values discussed in the previous subsection
(see also the table 5) we conclude
that  high precision
measurements of the ground state hyperfine splitting
 in hydrogenlike and lithiumlike ions of an isotope
   would give a  possibility for testing
QED effects in a combination of
 the strong electric and magnetic fields.

\section{Transition probabilities}
As is well known [25-27], the transition between
the hyperfine splitting components of an atomic level
is  a $M1$ transition. In  the hydrogenlike
approximation, which corresponds to the zeroth order in $1/Z$,
 in the case of one electron over
a closed shell
 the transition probability
 is given by the
formula
\begin{eqnarray}
w_{F\rightarrow F'}=\alpha \frac{\omega^{3}}{c^2}\frac{(2F'+1)(2j+1)^{3}}
{3j(j+1)}
\left\{{j\,F'\,I}\atop{F\,j\,\,1}\right\}^{2}
\Bigl[\int_{0}^{\infty}g(r)f(r)r^{3}dr\Bigr]^{2}\,,
\end{eqnarray}
where $\omega$ is the transition frequency,
$j$ is the electron
moment, $F$ and $F'$ are the total atomic moments in the
initial and final states, respectively,
$g(r)$ and $f(r)$ are the upper and lower radial components
of the hydrogenlike Dirac wave function.
For a point nucleus, using formulas from [28] one simply
finds
\begin{eqnarray}
\int_{0}^{\infty}g(r)f(r)r^{3}dr=
\frac{2\kappa \epsilon-mc^{2}}{4m c^{2}}\frac{\hbar}{mc}\,,
\end{eqnarray}
Here $\epsilon$ is the one-electron Dirac-Coulomb
energy, $\kappa=(-1)^{j+l+1/2}(j+1/2)$, and  $l$
is the  orbital electron moment.
For the $s$ states we get
\begin{eqnarray}
w_{F\rightarrow F'}=\alpha \omega^{3}\frac{\hbar^{2}}{m^{2}c^{4}}\;
\frac{4}{27}\;
\frac{I}{2I+1}\;\Bigl[\frac{2\epsilon}{mc^{2}}+1\Bigr]^{2}
\end{eqnarray}
Because the integrand in (20) is strongly decreasing function of
$r$ at $r\rightarrow 0$,
 the finite nuclear size corrections to
(21), (22) can be neglected.
To calculate the $1/Z$ interelectronic interaction
 correction to the transition probability
we used the technique developed in [29,5]. We found that this correction
 is small enough.
So, it increases $w$  by 0.23\% for $^{209}Bi^{80+}$ and
by 0.17\% for $^{165}Ho^{64+}$.
We note also that a calculation of the transition probability
for a many electron atom, including an approximate treatment
of the $1/Z$ term, can be done by the formula
\begin{eqnarray}
w_{F\rightarrow F'}=\alpha\frac{ \omega^{3}}{3c^2}(2F'+1)J(J+1)(2J+1)
\left\{{J\,F'\,I}\atop{F\,J\,\,1}\right\}^{2}\gamma^{2}(J)\,,
\end{eqnarray}
where
$$
\gamma(J)=\frac{\langle J M_{J}|\sum_{i}[{\bf r}_{i}\times
\mbox{\boldmath$\alpha$}_{i}]_{z}|J M_{J}\rangle}{M_{J}}\,,
$$
$J$ and $M_{J}$ are the total electronic moment and its projection,
respectively. Such a calculation, based on
the CI-HF method [4], confirms the exact (in $1/Z$) results.

The results of the calculation of the transition probabilities and
 the lifetimes ($\tau=1/w$), based on using the transition energies
from the table 4,
 are presented in the table 6.
According to the equations (20)-(22) the uncertainty of the
 transition probability is three times larger than the
uncertainty of the transition energy.

More accurate calculation of the transition
probability for $^{209}{\rm Bi}^{80+}$ and $^{165}{\rm Ho}^{64+}$, based
on the transition energies from the table 5,
 gives
 $w=$ 12.03(2) s$^{-1}$ ($\tau=0.0831(1)$ s) for $^{209}{\rm Bi}^{80+}$
and
 $w=$ 0.674(1) s$^{-1}$ ($\tau=1.483(2)$ s) for $^{165}{\rm Ho}^{64+}$.
The errors bars  are chosen to include the uncalculated
 terms.

\section*{Conclusion}

In the present paper we calculated the ground state hyperfine splitting
values and the transition probabilities between the
hyperfine structure components of high $Z$ lithiumlike ions.
We proposed a method which allows one to eliminate completely
 the Bohr-Weisskopf effect in
 a combination
of the hyperfine splitting values of the $1s$ and $2s$ states
and, so, gives a
 possibility for testing the QED effects.

Recently [30,31], the first experimental result for
 the ground state hyperfine splitting in lithiumlike bismuth
was reported to be $\Delta E_{exp}=0.820(26) $eV. It
agrees with the theoretical value found within
the single particle nuclear model
($\Delta E=0.800(4) $eV) as well as with the value obtained
by using the experimental result  for the $1s$ hyperfine splitting
($\Delta E=0.7969(2)$eV), although  it is close to the limit of the
error bar.

My sibling and I are 11 months apart in age due to a lack of knowledge really. SO many teenager feel that as long as there isn't penetration, they're safe from pregnancy but they don't know how untrue this is. My mom had her stitches in from her pregnancy when she got pregnant with my sibling. My father and her were fooling around, he ejaculated on her but not in her. At her 6 wk checkup, she was pregnant. Lack of penetration is not safe & so many don't know this.
