Q: OpenWhisk/Node -- Promise Is Not Resolving I've tested a reddit bot locally for a while now, and gotten it working locally. So now I'm trying to invoke it on OpenWhisk. The line where my troubles seem to come up is:
r.getInbox( {"filter":"mentions", "append":false } ).then( newMentions, console.err );

newMentions is never triggered. I've made the first line in it a console.log, and I've replaced newMentions with console.log.
console.logs before and after this line get called just fine, and getInbox works fine on my local machine and should work just fine here. I'm not getting any error anywhere, even from console.err in the above line.
So my current guess is that my OpenWhisk instance somehow ends before getInbox can resolve. Is that right? I have it set to 60s/512mb, and it's not taking anywhere near 60s, and I can't imagine it takes up 512mb. So... Do I need to manually force OpenWhisk to wait for the promise to resolve? How would I do that? Or is there some other error I'm not seeing?
To be clear: I'm using snoowrap for reddit. r is a proper snoowrap object, and getInbox is a snoowrap function that I'm pretty sure I'm using correctly, which returns a promise for json data representing an inbox. And again, even if it were empty, newMentions should still be called, right?

A: return the promise to the main function
function main(){
  return r.getInbox( {"filter":"mentions", "append":false } ).then( newMentions, console.error );
}

this way OpenWhisk will wait on the Promise
make sure your resolve function newMentions or reject function returns a JSON object, it will be the result of the Action
Also console.err is not a function is console.error

From the Archive: In the month-long (or even longer) "Christmas season," there is much faux outrage from Fox News and the Right about a "war on Christmas," even as public places are adorned with Christmas decorations and Christmas music fills the air, as Robert Parry noted in 2005.
The success of the American Right in extracting a "war on Christmas" out of a few well-meaning gestures to non-Christians, such as using the greeting "Happy Holidays," is a testament to the investment conservatives have made in media over three decades.
With their vertically integrated media apparatus from newspapers and magazines, to TV and radio, to books and the Internet the Right now can take a few scattered anecdotes on almost any topic and heat them up into a hot-button issue.
This "perception management" capability is now so powerful that even the most absurd notions can be made convincing to millions of Americans, such as the idea that despite the ubiquitous Christmas displays throughout the United States from before Thanksgiving to after Dec. 25 Christmas is under assault.
While an outsider arriving in the United States might see a nation celebrating Christmas with an unrivaled intensity and extravagance, the Right's media has created another world for its followers where Christians are persecuted for celebrating their faith, where they are repressed by cruel non-Christians and evil secularists.
This perceived persecution exists even as America's downtowns and shopping malls are bedecked with the red-and-green Christmas colors and Christmas symbols are everywhere, even in cities like New York with large populations of Jews and Muslims.
Somehow, listeners to Fox News and right-wing talk radio are convinced that Christmas is threatened despite the fact that Christmas carols are pumped into nearly all public places, including elevators and grocery stores where both Christians and non-Christians must go. Some radio stations, like the one played in the Arlington, Virginia, coffee shop where I often go to write, have been playing Christmas carols since before Thanksgiving.
When I bought stamps the other day (in 2005) from a U.S. Postal Service vending machine, I had expected to get the usual "American flag" stamps, but instead ended up with "Santa Claus" stamps. The USPS Web site also sold a "Dear Santa" CD, which includes Nat King Cole's "The Christmas Song" and Vonzell Solomon's "O Come All Ye Faithful," with a cross-marketing deal for a Fox "Dear Santa" special.
Still, one of the complaints heard from conservative Christians was that the post office didn't offer a new "Madonna and Child" stamp (in 2005 though you could still get the version produced in 2004).
Nevertheless, schools are closed for about two weeks to accommodate Americans wishing to celebrate Christmas. Despite the U.S. principle of separation of church and state, Christmas remains an official federal holiday, an exception to the rule that is afforded no other religious observance. Jews, for instance, don't expect Christians to honor Yom Kippur by taking the day off, nor do Muslims expect the government to show undue deference to Ramadan.
Our hypothetical outsider might see the American reality as one in which all citizens, regardless of their religious beliefs, are expected to join in the celebration of Christmas. But that is not the impression one would get from watching Fox News, reading conservative blogs or listening to right-wing talk radio.
Within the Right's media world, conservative Americans learn how the "liberals" and the American Civil Liberties Union are "anti-Christian" and out to deny American Christians their right to observe Christmas as they see fit.
Fox News anchor John Gibson made this case in his book, The War on Christmas: How the Liberal Plot to Ban the Sacred Christian Holiday Is Worse Than You Thought. The "war on Christmas" theme became a centerpiece of Bill O'Reilly's rants on Fox, a message that then resonated through the Right's echo chamber.
In 2005, led by the Rev. Jerry Falwell, some conservative Christians boycotted stores that offered their customers the non-sectarian greeting of "Happy Holidays" instead of "Merry Christmas." In some cases, "Merry Christmas" is now spit out as fighting words, much as conservatives emphasize the words "under God" during the Pledge of Allegiance.
In the 1990s, a powerful conservative theme was the complaint against "political correctness," which often came down to universities and other institutions applying clumsy restrictions against young white men shouting the n-word at African-Americans or using other offensive language.
Though American white men collectively are arguably the most privileged group on earth, the "political correctness" theme allowed them to bathe in the self-pity of their "victimhood." It allowed them to get righteous and angry against their supposed persecutors.
There is, of course, a danger whenever a powerful group begins to view itself as the victim, because their real power allows these ersatz oppressed to inflict far greater harm on their enemies than could a group without power.
Historically, the world has seen this phenomenon many times, for instance, when Christians in Europe persuaded themselves that they were at the mercy of cunning Jews. Many of the continent's anti-Jewish pogroms were conducted by Christians convinced that they were simply defending their way of life, that they were the real victims.
Now, the United States is witnessing a similar exploitation of Christian fears and the fanning of Christian anger. The "war on Christmas" theme is one manifestation of this growing chip on the shoulder.
The Right has learned well how it can deploy its powerful media to make even the most ludicrous notion seem real both frightening and infuriating to millions of Americans.
There are few things that are more designed "…for temporary use and discard…" than a postage stamp. Unfortunately, Title 4 Chapter 1 carries no penalties, making it possible for fake patriots to strut their stuff every so often by proposing "anti-desecration" laws that are already part of law. Even more unfortunately, most of those same fake patriots haven't the slightest idea what the legal provisions are for proper display of the flag.
Moving on to Christmas, it also doesn't surprise me that most Christians attach more significance than is necesssary to the birth of Christ while ignoring what is suppoed to be the central mystery and miracle of Christian mythology, namely the death and resurrection which is supposed to have redeemed humanity. Through most of Christian history, Christmas has been the merest blip on ecclesiastical calendars.
War on Xmas? Au contraire!!! People wonder why I, a stone-cold atheist since 1954, celebrate the hell out of Xmas. Well, I love xmas, a holiday (like all others I can participate in) for which I get snot-flinging drunk, eat enormously, and mock the underlying superstitions. Until further notice, celebrate everything! I like you and your god, christians. You provide me with an endless source of contemptuous laughter and merriment. Merry xmas, sillies!
Perhaps someone should inform the people at Fox and Christian Zionists that in some parts of Israel, Christian Israeli Arabs are not allowed to put up Christamas trees or decorations where they may be seen.

Government hit with legal action over giant gas plant
An environmental non-profit has sued the government for approving plans to build a 3.6GW gas station in Yorkshire.
Drax plans to build a gas plant with four combined cycle gas turbines (CCGT) at its site in Selby, North Yorkshire, which is already home to the largest power plant in the UK (biomass and coal). Drax argues that CCGT technology allows for more efficient electricity generation. The project, if followed through according to plan, will transform the site into Europe's largest gas plant with 3.6GW capacity.
An infrastructure project of this size is required to fulfil certain criteria, including that any damage to the environment is outweighed by its benefits. The Planning Inspectorate had recommended rejecting the project – the first major project to be rejected for these reasons – stating that it would undermine efforts to cut carbon emissions under the 2008 Climate Change Act. An assessment submitted by ClientEarth found that the plant could be responsible for as much as 75 per cent of the national power sector's carbon 'budget'. ClientEarth also said that the government had already approved more than 15GW of gas plants while official forecasts estimate that the UK will only require 6GW of new gas generation up to 2035.
However, permission was given by energy minister Andrea Leadsom in October 2019, overturning the Planning Inspectorate's decision.
Environmental non-profit ClientEarth has announced that it is taking legal action against the government. The High Court has consented to the legal action. A case is expected to be heard within the coming months.
In a statement, ClientEarth lawyer Sam Hunter Jones said: "The Secretary of State has ignored the recommendations of her own planning authority, and her decision is at odds with the government's own climate change plans to decarbonise in a cost-effective manner.
"Only this month David Attenborough warned governments to take more action to tackle global heating, pointing to the Australian bushfires as proof humanity's moment of crisis has come. With scientists also ringing the alarm bells for decades we shouldn't need to take the government to court over its decision to allow what would be Europe's biggest gas plant."
A Drax spokesperson said that the company intended for the gas station to be just one part of its power portfolio, which it hoped would be overall carbon negative by 2030. She said that this ambition could be achieved by capturing and storing emissions associated with burning biomass.
ClientEarth, which takes environmentally motivated legal action, previously sued the government successfully three times over its repeated failure to tackle fatal levels of air pollution.

It is a fact that the discogram is less regarding the anatomy of the disc and rather regarding its physiology in order to decide whether the disc is causing pain. It is common to discographers that an extremely strange looking disc may not be the cause of the pain and a slightly disrupted disc might be related to serious pain. It is difficult to conclusively diagnose a painful disc without performing discography.
The extremely sensitive anatomic tests are the lumbar MRI and CT myelogram yet are not quite certain in characterizing real pain generators. Whenever the lumbar discogram is performed appropriately, is intended to induce pain in a sensitive disc. A spinal fusion strategy that is intended to eliminate an internally upset, painful disc would not be the procedure of choice in the event that pressurization of the disc didn't repeat the patient's clinical discomfort. In this case, the spine specialist should be certain beyond a shadow of a doubt that the level or levels being fused are responsible for the patient's pain.
In the event that the fused levels were not at first agonizing, as a result, spine surgery won't be operational, and the patient will be left with a fused spine most likely still be in pain. Based on the fact that a spine fusion procedure brings a noteworthy level of risk and healing time, the more information that can be acquired before back surgery the better.
In the case of lumbar discography, an injection is used with an objective to assess patients with back pain who have not reacted to extensive conservative (nonsurgical) procedures. The most common utilization of discography is for surgical planning before a lumbar fusion.
This diagnostic process additionally recognized as discogram is a controversial one.
The experts of discography believe the information obtained from this examination is unobtainable any other way.
The procedure's experts believe the reactions evoked from disc pressurization are not valuable in assessing back pain patients.
As compared to any other invasive test, there are related risks and conceivable complications.
The most dreaded complexity is a disc space infection, which can be hard to treat. Luckily, by utilizing severe sterile strategies this is a phenomenal complexity.
However, with an experienced and skilled discographer who utilizes current discography procedures, these risks are usually avoidable.

Has Venezuela Really Banned Opposition Parties from Elections?
By Ryan Mallett-Outtrim – Venezuelanalysis.com
Dec 22nd 2017 at 2.31pm
Media CoverageCorporate MediaNational Electoral Council
img_18341513191528.jpg
(AVN)
Venezuela has officially banned opposition parties from running in next year's presidential election – at least, according to the Western media. The news is everywhere, and the headlines say it all:
Venezuela presidential election: Nicolas Maduro's government blocks opposition candidates from competing – The Independent
3 opposition parties in Venezuela blocked from elections – ABC News
In the name of democracy, Venezuela bans the opposition – The Economist
Venezuela: President Nicolas Maduro blocks opposition parties from presidential poll – DW
The same story was also printed by the New York Times and The Washington Post, so it must be true, right? It certainly seemed so in reading on.
"Venezuela's pro-government constitutional assembly on Wednesday effectively stripped three of the country's most influential opposition parties of the right to participate in next year's presidential election," reads the lead, as it appears at the New York Times. However, the first cracks in the story appear almost immediately, when the author (AP) elaborated, "The all-powerful assembly passed a decree requiring the parties to reapply for legal status after boycotting mayoral elections in early December."
The question, therefore, is whether or not being forced to "reapply for legal status" actually constitutes a "ban". To find out, let's look at the wording of the National Constituent Assembly's (ANC) decision.
"To participate in the national, regional or municipal electoral processes, political organisations must have participated in the immediately previous elections of the constitutional period at the national, regional or municipal level," the ANC stated, as reported by the opposition-aligned El Nacional.
So the overall idea is that for each election, generally speaking each party is required to register and meet a set of basic requirements. Generally, this process is waived for parties that participated in a previous election, so long as they got at least 1 percent of the vote. Under the ANC's new rule though, parties will need to go through the reapplication process if they didn't participate in the "immediately previous" election. So, let's say if you boycott a single election, you need to go through a ton of paperwork to run in a future vote.
Clearly, the move is aimed at opposition parties that boycotted Venezuela's recent municipal elections. These include three of the largest member parties of the main opposition coalition, the Democratic Unity Roundtable (MUD): Democratic Action (AD), Popular Will (VP), and First Justice (PJ).
"If they refuse to participate in an election … [they] must be validated again," said ANC head Delcy Rodriguez.
Whether or not this is a reasonable measure is up to you to decide. There's an argument to be made that any impediment to participating in democracy (whether as a voter or candidate) should be condemned. On the other hand, the opposition does have a bad habit of running only in elections it thinks it can win, while simply boycotting any it expects to lose. This isn't just a sore loser strategy; rather, it's a cynical show aimed at delegitimising and attacking Venezuela's democracy.
Either way, we're still left with that one question: does the ANC's apparent solution make things better or worse? At the very worst, is it effectively a ban on opposition parties, as the mainstream media seems to claim?
How tough are the validation requirements?
To understand whether or not the ANC's decision constitutes a ban on opposition parties, we need to look closer at the application process. In order to reapply to run in an election, a party needs to show it has the support of at least 0.5 percent of voters. This requirement can be found in the Law of Political Parties, Public Meetings and Demonstrations (Chapter II, Article 10).
Earlier this year, the National Electoral Council (CNE) clarified that for nationwide elections, parties need to meet the 0.5 percent threshold across at least 12 states. The party itself is free to choose whichever states it wants, so long as it can meet the voter threshold.
At this point, it's worth noting this requirement isn't particularly onerous by international standards, such as those of the US. For example, in California a party only needs the support of 0.33 percent of registered voters to qualify to appear on the ballot. However in Florida – which has a population nearly two-thirds the size of Venezuela – the threshold is significantly higher, at 5 percent. Nonetheless, nobody is claiming Florida is a dictatorship, are they?
But what about in the Venezuelan context?
We've actually seen this story before. At the start of this year, the CNE sparked a similar controversy when it announced all parties that failed to obtain 1 percent of the vote in the last elections would have to undergo the reapplication process.
Despite being criticised by the opposition, the sprawling bureaucracies of MUD parties like VP, AD and PJ had no problems maintaining their legal status during that re-verification drive. So at this point, there's no reason to believe they won't be able to do the same ahead of the 2018 presidential election.
The real problem with the registration process
In other words, all media outlets that described the ANC's decree as a "ban" on "opposition" parties were, without doubt, simply wrong on a basic factual level. On the contrary, for major parties like VP, AD and PJ, it seems the new requirements shouldn't have any real impact on them (at least for now). That's not to say the ANC or Maduro administration won't try to throw some obstacles in their way as the election draws closer. Indeed, with the 2018 vote set to be Venezuela's most important election since 2013, I personally wouldn't be particularly surprised to see plenty of underhanded shenanigans from both the PSUV and the MUD.
However, none of this is to say the ANC's latest decree won't have its victims. Just like the CNE re-verification drive of early 2017, the ANC's decree could disproportionately burden smaller political parties, including those on the left. During the registration process earlier this year, parties were given just a 48-hour window to collect their signatures. For larger, well-established parties with nationwide support networks, plenty of funding and bottomless pools of volunteers, this process was easy – but not so for smaller parties.
"In Libertador (Caracas) it's necessary to mobilise 20,000 people to be able to reach the threshold… That's 1200 people per hour," said the secretary general of the leftist party REDES, Juan Barreto at the time.
Arguably the staunchest critics of the re-verification drive were supporters of the Communist Party (PCV). Once a close ally of the PSUV, the PCV has argued the CNE's requirements were an attack on privacy that could lay the groundwork for future political persecution.
"This involves fundamental risks for our militants, we are talking about handing over the confidential information of militants who belong to a party which has been persecuted throughout history," Oscar Figuera, secretary general of the PCV, explained back in March.
In response to petitions by smaller parties on the left and right, Venezuela's Supreme Court eased the registration requirements, ruling in April that votes garnered in the previous election would count towards the 0.5 percent threshold.
Nonetheless, since then the CNE has undermined the ability of small, typically leftist parties and candidates to freely run on a handful of occasions For evidence of this, look no further than the ongoing controversy in Lara state, where the CNE has point-blank refused to acknowledge a grassroots Chavista candidate's victory in the recent municipal elections on the orders of the ANC. Or just read our interview with another grassroots candidate, Eduardo Saman, whose name didn't even appear on the ballot.
"It's a situation which takes [the CNE] five minutes to rectify, but there is no desire to make that change, [rather] to generate confusion," he told VA.
As Saman's case illustrates, the CNE, PSUV and state apparatus as a whole are side-lining the grassroots left and critical Chavistas. Serious revolutionaries are simply being denied the opportunity to retake the reigns of Venezuela's socialist project and save the country from Maduro's incompetence and the opposition's terrorism.
Rather than being a blanket-ban on large opposition parties, the CNE and ANC's actions could actually end up undermining Venezuela's revolutionaries and making it harder for grassroots candidates to stand against both the PSUV and MUD. However, this is an issue the mainstream media has absolutely no interest in. Instead, the international media would rather parrot MUD press releases and bemoan how difficult it is to be a US-backed right-wing stooge in a country that is majority Chavista.
The reality is that everyone from the international press to Maduro and the MUD are unified in their endorsement of the simplistic us-versus-them, PSUV versus MUD narrative. Any tidbit that supports this binary narrative is put on a pedestal, while the complexities of grassroots participation in the revolution go ignored. Why? Because power concedes nothing without a demand. If Venezuela's revolutionary process is to be salvaged, it's up to those without power to demand concessions, keep the pro-imperialist reactionaries out of power, and tackle the revolution's internal rightwing.

Orleans DA on crime surge: "I'm as fed up as every other citizen"
Orleans DA gives 'fraudulent' public defender case to La. Attorney General
Ashley Crawford is under criminal investigation after being accused of handling more than 100 cases without a law license

NEW ORLEANS — The Orleans Parish district attorney on Tuesday turned over his criminal investigation of a "fraudulent" public defender to the Louisiana Attorney General's Office, asking the state's highest attorney to investigate and potentially prosecute the woman accused of handling more than 100 cases for the Orleans Public Defender's Office without a law license.
Ashley Crawford graduated from Loyola University College of Law and had worked for the Public Defender's Office since October 2018. She was fired Tuesday after it was revealed she was not a licensed lawyer.
Crawford also reportedly used someone else's bar number while conducting cases.
The allegations against Crawford came to light after the Louisiana Supreme Court on June 21 forwarded a complaint to Cannizzaro's office, alleging that Crawford had for the past nine months practiced law without a license while an employee of the Orleans Public Defender's office.
The Louisiana Bar Association on Monday said it had no record of Crawford being a licensed lawyer.
A preliminary review has identified more than 100 cases spanning all 12 sections of Criminal District Court in which Crawford represented clients without being licensed to practice law, the Public Defender's office said.
"By asking the attorney general's office to assume control of this investigation and prosecution, we hope to avoid even the appearance of impropriety or animus toward a public defenders office we oppose each day in court," District Attorney Leon Cannizzaro said in a prepared statement. "The alleged violations by Ms. Crawford are extremely serious and deserve a full and complete review and prosecution, absent any potential accusations of conflict of interest."
The Public Defender's Office on Tuesday released a statement that said Crawford appeared to be licensed when was hired.
"We check yearly to ensure our attorney staff remain in good standing and it was those administrative controls that revealed problems with her eligibility," the office said in a prepared statement announcing Crawford's firing.
If the allegations are true, some of the dozens of clients represented by Crawford may be entitled to a new trial, Eyewitness News legal analyst Chick Foret said.
"Some of these cases will result in new trials for these defendants," Foret said.
Crawford faces up to a $1,000 fine and at least two years in jail if she's found guilty.
In addition to the attorney general's criminal investigation, Crawford is subject to discipline from the Office of Disciplinary Counsel if any trial verdicts are vacated. Crawford and the Public Defender's office can also be held liable for the cost of any re-trial.
Attempts to reach Crawford have not been successful.

\section{Introduction}

The doped manganese oxides with perovskite structure, R$_{1-x}$A$_x$MnO$_3$
(R=La, Pr, Nd; and A=Sr, Ca, Ba, Pb), have recently attracted much
attention due to the observation of colossal magnetoresistance (CMR).
\cite{helmolt93,jin94,tokura94,fontcuberta96} Theories based on the double
exchange (DE) model, \cite{zener51,anderson55,gennes60} in which the
exchange of electrons between neighboring manganese ions with a strong
Hund's coupling drives spins of on-site electrons to align parallelly,
have been developed for a long time and can qualitatively elucidate the
relation of transport and magnetism in the doping range of $0.2<x<0.45$.
However, recent systematic experimental studies revealed rich phase diagrams,
which are difficult to be understood by the DE model alone. For instance,
the system is actually insulating in the half-doping case $(x=0.5)$
at low temperature; but a metallic ferromagnetic (FM) state
would be expected according to the DE model, for the DE hopping reaches
its maximum and the effective FM
interaction becomes strongest at this doping. Furthermore,
for $x= 0.5$, a charge ordering characterized by an alternating
Mn$^{3+}$ and Mn$^{4+}$-ion arrangement in the real space was observed
to be superimposed on the antiferromagnetic (AF) ordering.
\cite{goodenough55,kuwahara95} This charge ordering is sensitive to an
applied magnetic field, and even melts under a moderate magnetic field.
In the meantime, the resistance may decrease by several
orders in magnitude, \cite{kuwahara95,tomioka}  implying that there is a
close relation between the charge ordering and the AF spin
background.

Many efforts have been made to
understand the phase diagram of
a doped manganese oxide  based on
various models.\cite{inoue95,shiina,ishihara,brink,arovas98} To
explore the origin of the unique magnetotransport, many further
theories on the basis of DE model have been proposed, such as Jahn-Teller
displacement and electron-phonon interactions,\cite{millis,alexandrov}
spin-polaron formation,\cite{palstra} Anderson localization with diagonal
and off-diagonal disorder, \cite{sheng,zhong} and the phase separation
scenario.\cite{yunoki98,shen98}
Importance of various interactions on the physical
properties of the manganites is currently one of the lively-debating
subjects. A comprehensive understanding of the magnetic and charge
ordering states as well as their relations to the transport properties are
highly desirable.

In this paper, we investigate effects induced by strong but
finite Hund's coupling $J_H$ and on-site Coulomb interaction $U$.
In the manganites, three $t_{2g}$ electrons are almost localized and form
an $S=3/2$ spin state according to the Hund's rule, while electrons in
$e_g$ orbit evolve a conduction band. In the conventional DE model $J_H$
is usually regarded to be infinite and $U$ is neglected, so that there
exist only single-occupied state with spin $S+1/2$ and empty state with
spin $S$. In this limit, since neither $S-1/2$ state nor double occupancy
of $e_g$ electrons on the same site is allowed, the effects induced by two
kinds of virtual processes, that an electron hops to a empty site with its
spin antiparallel to the core spin on the site and that an electron
hops to a singly-occupied site, are completely eliminated. In this work we
will show that the effects due to the two kinds of virtual processes are
important to account for the observed phase diagrams. On one hand,
the two kinds of virtual processes can produce an AF superexchange coupling
between the neighboring localized spins, with coupling strength being
$t^2/(2J_H)$ and $t^2/(J_H+U)$, respectively, where $t$ is the hopping
integral of the $e_g$ electron. The AF coupling induced by the virtual
processes is usually much stronger than the direct AF superexchange
coupling between neighboring localized spins. On the other hand,
the virtual process of producing a single-occupied state with spin
$S-1/2$ can lead to a repulsive interaction between conduction electrons,
while the virtual process of producing a double occupancy can result
in an attractive one, as will be shown in Sec. IIA.
The two types of interactions between electrons can produce non-uniform
charge distributions,  such as charge ordering and electronic phase
separation, provided that the interactions prevail over the
hybridization effects of electrons. Which of charge ordering and phase
separation appears is determined by a competition at different doping
between two types of
interactions, for the repulsive interaction is favorable to the charge
ordering while the attractive interaction may cause the phase separation.

In Sec. II, starting from an extended Kondo lattice model, we have an
effective projected Hamiltonian in the case of strong but finite $J_H$
and $U$. The repulsive and attractive interactions, which are associated
with magnetic ordering and non-uniform charge distributions, are obtained.
A Schwinger-boson mean-field theory is developed to establish the phase
diagram at low temperatures. In Sec. III we focus attention on the case
of $x=1/2$. The possibility that the FM, AF or canted ferromagnetic (CF)
order appears, as well as that the Wigner lattice or phase separation
appears, is discussed. In Sec. IV numerical results for phase digram
are presented. In the large $J_H$ case, the hybridization effect is
dominant and there exists metallic ferromagnetism, which accords with
the DE model. As the repulsive interaction due to finite $J_H$ effects
is relatively strong, the charge ordering will be formed at half doping in
the AF background. On the other hand, the phase separation may arise when
the attractive interaction due to finite $U$ becomes dominant.

\section{General formalism}

\subsection{Effective projected Hamiltonian}

The electronic model Hamiltonian for doped manganese oxides we
considered presently is given by
\begin{eqnarray}
H &=&-t\sum_{(ij),\sigma }c_{i\sigma }^{\dag }c_{j\sigma
}+U\sum_{i}n_{i\uparrow }n_{i\downarrow }  \nonumber \\
&&-J_{H}\sum_{i\sigma \sigma ^{\prime }}c_{i\sigma }^{\dag }{\bf S}_{i}\cdot
{\mbox {\boldmath $\sigma$}}_{\sigma \sigma ^{\prime }}c_{i\sigma
^{\prime }}+J_{AF}\sum_{(ij)}{\bf S}_{i}\cdot {\bf S}_{j}\ .
\end{eqnarray}
Here $c_{i\sigma }$ ($c_{i\sigma }^{\dag}$) is the annihilation (creation)
operator for conduction electrons at site $i$ with spin $\sigma$,
$n_{i\sigma}=c_{i\sigma }^{\dag }c_{i\sigma}$ is the particle number
operator, ${\bf S}_{i}$ is the total spin operator of the localized
electrons at site $i$ with $S=3/2$, and {\boldmath $\sigma$}
is the Pauli matrix. In the manganites the Hund's coupling constant
$J_{H}$ and the on-site Coulomb interaction $U$ are much greater than the
hopping integral $t$ as well as the direct AF superexchange coupling
$J_{AF}$. On a given site, an itinerant electron constrained by the strong
Hund's coupling has its spin parallel to the core spin, forming a spin
$S+1/2$ state.  The singly-occupied state for the itinerant electron with
spin antiparallel to the core spin and the doubly-occupied state are almost
forbidden, making it appropriate to utilize the projective perturbation
technique to investigate Hamiltonian (1). The effects of finite $J_{H}$ and
$U$ can be regarded as a perturbation correction to the large $J_{H}$ and
$U$ limit where there are only the empty and single occupancy with
$S+1/2$ state. Up to the second-order perturbation, an effective
Hamiltonian for Eq.\ (1) can be derived as\cite{shen97}
\begin{eqnarray}
H_{eff} &=&-t\sum_{(ij),\sigma }\overline{c}_{i\sigma }^{\dag }\overline{c}%
_{j\sigma }+J_{AF}\sum_{(ij)}\overline{{\bf S}}_{i}\cdot \overline{{\bf S}}%
_{j}  \nonumber \\
&&+J_{1}\sum_{(ij)}({\bf S}_{i}\cdot \tilde{{\bf S}}_{j}-S\tilde{S}%
)P_{ih}P_{js}^{\dag }  \nonumber \\
&&+J_{2}\sum_{(ij)}(\tilde{{\bf S}}_{i}\cdot \tilde{{\bf S}}_{j}-\tilde{S}%
^{2})P_{is}^{\dag }P_{js}^{\dag }\ .
\end{eqnarray}
Here ${\bf \tilde{S}}_{i}$ is the spin operator with $\tilde{S}=S+1/2$. $%
P_{ih}$ and $P_{is}^{\dag }$ are the projection operators for empty state
with spin $\bf S_i$ and single occupancy with spin $\bf \tilde{S}_i$,
respectively. $\overline{{\bf S}}_{i}={\bf S}_{i}P_{ih}+S\tilde{{\bf S}}_{i}
P_{is}^{\dag }/\tilde{S}$. $\overline{c%
}_{i\sigma}=P_{i}c_{i\sigma}P_{i}$ and
 $\overline{c}_{i\sigma}^{\dag }=P_{i}c_{i\sigma}^{\dag }P_{i}$
are projected electron operators, where $P_{i}=P_{ih}+P_{is}^{\dag }$,
projects onto the space of non-doubly-occupied site.
The last two terms in Eq.\ (2) are the second-order
perturbation corrections where $J_{1}=t^{2}/(2J_{H}\tilde{S}^{3})$ and
$J_{2}=t^{2}/[(J_{H}S+U)\tilde{S}^{2}]$, respectively, stemming from
different virtual processes (a) and (b). In virtual process (a), an electron
first hops from a site to one of the nearest-neighbor empty sites to form a
spin $S-1/2$ state and then hops backward; while in virtual process (b),
an electron first hops to a single-occupied site, where there has been
an electron with opposite spin, and then hops backward. Owing to $J_1>0$
and $J_2>0$, both virtual processes favor the AF arrangement of the core
spins and enhance greatly the AF coupling between the neighboring spins.
Whether non-uniform charge distributions can
appear is dertermined by a competition between electronic hybridization
and interactions of electrons with one another. The hybridization, the
overlap of electron wavefunctions centred on different sites, is a
quantum-mechanical effect that allows electrons to hop from one atom to
another, thus tending to spread the electronic density uniformly through
the system. In contrast, the interactions of electrons in the system tend
to promote non-uniform charge distributions.\cite{nature} The addition
of the last two terms in Eq.\ (2), arising from the finite $J_H$ and $U$
effects, enhances greatly the interaction side in the competition and
thus favors
the occurance of the non-uniform charge distributions. On the other hand,
since the values of
$J_1({\bf S}_{i}\cdot \tilde{{\bf S}}_{j}-S\tilde{S})$ and
$J_2(\tilde{{\bf S}}_{i}\cdot \tilde{{\bf S}}_{j}-\tilde{S}^{2})$ are
always non-positive,
it is clear that the two terms
represent the repulsive and attractive interactions between conduction
electrons on neighboring sites, respectively. The
competition between them will lead to different non-uniform charge
distributions, the charge-ordered state and the phase separation.

\subsection{Schwinger boson representation}

A projected electron operator may be regarded as a combination of
the operator $f$ for a spinless charge fermion and that for a neutral
boson with spin $\tilde{S}=S+1/2$, i.e.,
$\overline{c}_{i\sigma }=f_{i}b_{i\sigma }/\sqrt{2\tilde{S}}$, where
$b_{i\sigma }$ is the Schwinger boson operator. \cite{Auerbach}
In the Schwinger boson representation, the spin
${\bf S}_{i}^{\prime }$ $({\bf S^{\prime }}_{i}=%
{\bf S}_{i}$ or ${\bf \tilde{S}}_{i})$ can be expressed
as ${\bf S}_{i}^{\prime }=\frac{1}{2}\sum_{\sigma \sigma
^{\prime }}b_{i\sigma }^{\dag }{\mbox {\boldmath $\sigma$}}%
_{\sigma \sigma ^{\prime }}b_{i\sigma ^{\prime }}$, with constraint $%
\sum_{\sigma }b_{i\sigma }^{\dag }b_{i\sigma }=2S^{\prime }$ ($S^{\prime }=S$
or $\tilde{S}$). This constraint can also be written as $\sum_{\sigma
}b_{i\sigma }^{\dag }b_{i\sigma }=2S+n_{i}$, where $n_{i}=f_{i}^{\dag }f_{i}$
is the particle number operator of fermions. The projection operators can
be replaced by $P_{ih}=1-n_{i}$ and $P_{is}^{\dag }=n_{i}$.
Then, by using the identity ${\bf S}_{i}^{\prime
}\cdot {\bf S}_{j}^{\prime }=-\frac{1}{2}A_{ij}^{\dag }A_{ij}+S_{i}^{\prime
}S_{j}^{\prime }$ with $A_{ij}=\frac{1}{2}(b_{i\uparrow }b_{j\downarrow
}-b_{i\downarrow }b_{j\uparrow })$, the effective Hamiltonian is reduced to
\begin{eqnarray}
H &=&J_{AF}S^{2}-\tilde{t}\sum_{ij}f_{i}^{\dag }f_{j}F_{ij} \nonumber \\
&\ &-\frac{1}{2}A_{ij}^{\dag }A_{ij}[J_{AF}+\tilde{J_{1}}(1-n_{i})n_{j}+\tilde{%
J_{2}}n_{i}n_{j}]\ ,
\end{eqnarray}
where $F_{ij}=\sum_{\sigma }b_{i\sigma }^{\dag }b_{j\sigma }$, $\tilde{t}%
=t/(2\tilde{S})$, $\tilde{J_{1}}=J_{1}-J_{AF}/\tilde{S}$ and $\tilde{J_{2}}%
=J_{2}-J_{AF}/\tilde{S}+J_{AF}/4\tilde{S}^{2}$. The difference between $%
\tilde{J}_{n}$ and $J_{n}$ ($n=$1 and 2) is caused by the finite
$S$ effect, and would disappear in the large spin limit.

\subsection{Mean-field approximation}

We now make a Hartree-Fock mean-field approximation by
decoupling various terms in Eq.(3). As an example, we have
\begin{eqnarray}
A_{ij}^{\dag }A_{ij}n_{i}n_{j} &\rightarrow &A_{ij}^{\dag
}<A_{ij}><n_{i}><n_{j}>  \nonumber \\
+ &<&A_{ij}^{\dag }>A_{ij}<n_{i}><n_{j}>  \nonumber \\
+ &<&A_{ij}^{\dag }><A_{ij}>n_{i}<n_{j}>  \nonumber \\
+ &<&A_{ij}^{\dag }><A_{ij}><n_{i}>n_{j}  \nonumber \\
-3 &<&A_{ij}^{\dag }><A_{ij}><n_{i}><n_{j}>\ . \nonumber
\end{eqnarray}
For the fermions,
we have $<n_{i}>=1-x$ in a uniform density state. In the presence of the
charge ordering at $x=1/2$, the lattice can be divided into two sublattices
$X=A$ and $B$, and $<n_i>=N_{X}=1-x+\alpha\delta$ where
$\alpha=1$ or $-1$ for $i\in A$ or B,
and $\delta$ $(0\leq \delta \leq 1-x)$ is the charge ordering parameter.
The uniform state can be regarded as a special case of $\delta=0$.
As in Ref.\cite{sarker,arovas98}, the FM and AF order parameters
can be respectively written as
\begin{eqnarray*}
<F_{ij}> &=&F  \label{def-2} \ , \\
<A_{ij}> &=&(-1)^{r_{i}}A\ ,
\end{eqnarray*}
where
$r_{i}$ depends on the position of site $i$, being an odd number in one
sublattice and an even number in the other sublattice. The average value of
$<f_{i}^{\dag }f_{j}>$ is assumed to be a constant $K$.
Under the Hartree-Fock mean-field approximation, Hamiltonian (3) is
reduced to
\begin{equation}
H_{MF}=E_{0}+H_{Bose}+H_{Fermi}
\end{equation}
with
\begin{eqnarray*}
E_{0} &=&NZ\tilde{t}KF+NZJ_{AF}S^{2}-N\Lambda 2S  \\
&&+\frac{1}{2
NZA^{2}\{J_{AF}+2(1-x)\tilde{J}_{1} \nonumber \\
&&+3[( 1-x) ^{2}-\delta ^{2}](\tilde{J}_{2}-\tilde{J}%
_{1})\}\, \\
H_{Bose} &=&\sum_{(ij)}\frac{-\tilde{J}}{2}(-1)^{r_{i}}A(A_{ij}^{\dag
}+A_{ij}) \\
&&+\Lambda \sum_{i\sigma}b_{i\sigma }^{\dag }b_{i\sigma }-\tilde{t}%
K\sum_{(ij)\sigma}b_{i\sigma }^{\dag }b_{j\sigma } \ , \\
H_{Fermi} &=&-\tilde{t}F\sum_{(ij)}f_{i}^{\dag }f_{j}-(\Lambda +\mu
)\sum_{i}n_{i} \\
&&-\frac{1}{2}A^{2}Z\sum_{i}[2(\tilde{J}_{2}-\tilde{J}_{1})%
N_{\bar{X}}+\tilde{J}_{1}]n_{i}\ .
\end{eqnarray*}
Here $\tilde{J}=J_{AF}+(\tilde{J}_{2}-\tilde{J}_{1})[(1-x)^{2}-\delta ^{2}]
+\tilde{J}_{1}(1-x)$ is the effective AF coupling constant, $N$ is the
number of lattice sites, $Z$ is the coordinate number of the lattice,
and $N_{\bar{X}}=N_{B}$ ($N_A$) for $i\in A$ ($B$).
$\Lambda=<\Lambda_i>$ with $\Lambda_i$ being the Lagrange multiplier
introduced at site $i$ to enforce the local
constraint $\sum_{\sigma }b_{i\sigma }^{\dag }b_{i\sigma }=2S+n_{i}$,\cite{Auerbach}
and $\mu $ is the chemical potential of fermions which is determined by
the total conduction electron number.  After
diagonalizing $H_{Bose}$ and $H_{Fermi}$, we have
\[
H_{Bose}=\sum_{{\bf k}\sigma }E_{{\bf k}}\beta _{{\bf k}\sigma }^{\dag
}\beta _{{\bf k}\sigma }+\sum_{{\bf k}}(E_{{\bf k}}-\Lambda )\ ,
\]
and
\[
H_{Fermi}=\sum_{{\bf k}}(\varepsilon _{{\bf k}}-\tilde{\mu}%
)\psi _{{\bf k}}^{\dag }\psi _{{\bf k}}\ ,
\]
with boson and fermion dispersions as
\[
E_{{\bf k}}=\sqrt{\Lambda ^{2}-(ZA\tilde{J}\gamma _{{\bf k}})^{2}}-Z\tilde{t}%
K\gamma _{{\bf k}}\ ,
\]
and
\begin{eqnarray*}
\varepsilon _{{\bf k}}=-sgn(\gamma_{{\bf k}})Z\sqrt{%
A^{4}(\tilde{J}_{2}-\tilde{J}_{1})^{2}\delta ^{2}+\tilde{t}^{2}F^{2}\gamma
_{{\bf k}}^{2}}\ ,
\end{eqnarray*}
respectively. Here
$\gamma _{{\bf k}}=Z^{-1}\sum_{{\mbox {\boldmath $\eta$ }}}e^{i{\bf k}
\cdot {\mbox {\boldmath $\eta$ }}}$
with {\boldmath $\eta$} the vector of the nearest neighbors of each site, and
the shifted chemical potential is given by
\begin{eqnarray*}
\tilde{\mu}=\mu +\Lambda +\frac{1}{2}ZA^{2}[
\tilde{J}_{1}+2(\tilde{J}_{2}-\tilde{J}_{1})(1-x)]\ .
\end{eqnarray*}
From the fermion spectrum, it is found that the energy band of fermions
is divided into two separated branches, between which there is an energy
gap provided $\delta\neq 0$ and $\tilde{J}_2\neq \tilde{J}_1$.
Thus, in the half-doping case ($x=1/2$) at zero temperature, the lower
branch ($\gamma_{{\bf k}}>0$) is fully occupied by fermions while the
upper one ($\gamma_{{\bf k}}<0$) is empty.

\section{Charge ordering and phase separation}

Now we come to discuss the magnetic ordering and non-uniform
charge distributions at $x=0.5$. First let us
write down the mean-field equations. When
the magnetic ordering arises, the Schwinger bosons should
condensate to the lowest energy state. From $E_{{\bf k}=0}=0$, we have
\[
\Lambda =Z\sqrt{\tilde{t}^{2}K^{2}+A^{2}\tilde{J}^{2}}\ .
\]
Using the spectra of quasi-fermions and bosons, we obtain a set of
self-consistent equations at zero temperature:
\begin{mathletters}
\begin{eqnarray}
K &=&\frac{1}{2N}\sum_{{\bf k}}\frac{\tilde{t}F\gamma _{{\bf k}}^{2}}{\sqrt{(%
\tilde{J}_{1}-\tilde{J}_{2})^{2}A^{4}\delta ^{2}+\tilde{t}^{2}F^{2}\gamma _{%
{\bf k}}^{2}}}\ ,   \\
F &=&\frac{\tilde{t}K(2S+2-x)}{\sqrt{\tilde{t}^{2}K^{2}+A^{2}\tilde{J}%
^{2}}} \nonumber \\
&&-\frac{1}{N}\sum_{{\bf k}}\frac{\tilde{t}K}{\sqrt{\tilde{t}^{2}K^{2}+A^{2}%
\tilde{J}^{2}(1-\gamma _{{\bf k}}^{2})}}\ ,   \\
A &=&\frac{A\tilde{J}(2S+2-x)}{\sqrt{\tilde{t}^{2}K^{2}+A^{2}\tilde{J}%
^{2}}}  \nonumber \\
&&-\frac{1}{N}\sum_{{\bf k}}\frac{A\tilde{J}(1-\gamma _{{\bf k}}^{2})}{\sqrt{\tilde{t%
}^{2}K^{2}+A^{2}\tilde{J}^{2}(1-\gamma _{{\bf k}}^{2})}}\ ,
\\
\label{self-4}
\delta  &=&\frac{1}{2N}\sum_{{\bf k}}\frac{(\tilde{J}_{1}-\tilde{J}%
_{2})A^{2}\delta }{\sqrt{(\tilde{J}_{1}-\tilde{J}_{2})^{2}A^{4}\delta ^{2}+%
\tilde{t}^{2}F^{2}\gamma _{{\bf k}}^{2}}}\ .
\end{eqnarray}
\end{mathletters}
From Eq.\ (\ref{self-4}),  it follows that the charge ordering may appear $%
(\delta \neq 0)$ only when $\tilde{J}_{1}>\tilde{J}_{2}$, otherwise
there exists only a trivial solution of $\delta =0$. Physically,
the effective interaction between electrons is repulsive for $\tilde{J}%
_{1}-\tilde{J}_{2}>0$, which is responsible for the formation of
the charge ordering. There are two types of possible ordering states:
the pure magnetic ordering phase without charge order and the charge
ordering phase in which the charge and magnetic orders coexist.
The former includes FM, AF, and CF
phases; while the latter is the Wigner lattice ($\delta =1/2$, $K=F=0$,
and $A=A_{max}$) or a combination of the charge ordering
($0<\delta <1/2 $) and magnetic ordering ($A<A_{max}$, $K$ and $F\neq 0$).
Since the system under consideration is a three-dimensional (3D) simple-cubic
lattice, for convenience, we introduce two parameters
$\eta_{1}=\tilde{t}^{2}F^{2}/[(\tilde{J}_{1}-\tilde{J}_{2})^{2}A^{4}\delta
^{2}]$ $(0\leq \eta _{1}\leq \infty )$ and $\eta _{2}=-A^{2}\tilde{J}%
^{2}/(\tilde{t}^{2}K^{2}+A^{2}\tilde{J}^{2})$ $(-1\leq \eta _{2}\leq 0)$ and
define the following two 3D integrals:
\begin{eqnarray}
C_{i} &=&\frac{1}{N}\sum_{{\bf k}}\frac{1}{\sqrt{1+\eta _{i}\gamma _{{\bf k}%
}^{2}}}\ ,  \nonumber \\
D_{i} &=&\frac{1}{N}\sum_{{\bf k}}\frac{\gamma _{{\bf k}}^{2}}{\sqrt{1+\eta
_{i}\gamma _{{\bf k}}^{2}}}\ .  \nonumber
\end{eqnarray}
with $i=1, 2$.
Then the set of mean-field equations (5a)-(5d) can be rewritten as
\begin{mathletters}
\begin{eqnarray}
K &=&\frac{1}{2}\sqrt{\eta _{1}}D_{1}\ ,   \\
F &=&\sqrt{1+\eta _{2}}(2S+2-x-C_{2})\ ,   \\
A &=&\sqrt{-\eta _{2}}(2S+2-x-C_{2}+D_{2})\ ,  \\
\label{delta}
\delta  &=&\frac{1}{2}C_{1}  \ .
\end{eqnarray}
\end{mathletters}
For the Wigner lattice ($\delta =1/2$), from Eq. (\ref{delta}), it follows
$C_1=1$ and $\eta _{1}=0$, so that $K=0$, $\eta _{2}=-1$, and
$F=0$. In this case, $A$ reaches its
maximum $A_{max}\approx 2S+0.597$, indicating a fully AF insulator
in which all the electrons are localiezed in one sublattice.
Another limiting case is that there is no charge ordering ($\delta =0$),
where there are two sets of solutions: (i) $K=F=0$ and $A=A_{max}$, which
is an AF state; and (ii) $\eta _{1}=+\infty$, $K\neq 0$, and $F\neq 0$,
which is a CF state for $0<A<A_{max}$ or a FM state for $A=0$.
There is the lowest energy in the ground state. This ground state energy
per site in the AF state [case (i)] is
\begin{equation}
E_{g}=-\tilde{J}A_{max}^{2}/2\ ,  \label{eaf}
\end{equation}
and that for case (ii) is given by
\begin{equation}
E_{g}=-\frac{(2S+2-x-C_{2}-\eta _{2}D_{2})\tilde{t}}{6\sqrt{1+\eta _{2}}}-%
\frac{\tilde{t}^{2}\eta _{2}}{72\tilde{J}(1+\eta _{2})}\ ,  \label{ground}
\end{equation}
which is a function of  $\eta _{2}$.
For a CF state, the magnitude of $\eta _{2}$ is
determined by minimizing $E_{g}$,
i.e., $\partial E_{g}/\partial \eta _{2}=0$.
$\eta _{2}=0$ corresponding to a FM state.
It is found that  a phase transition occurs from a
CF state to a FM state when $\tilde{J}$ decreases to $%
\tilde{t}/(12S+9)$.

The uniform density phases discussed above may be unstable toward the
phase separation, which will occur if $\partial \mu/\partial x\leq 0$.
In our model, when the virtual process (b) is dominant over process (a), i.e.,
$\tilde{J}_2>\tilde{J}_1$, the effective interaction between the $e_g$
electrons on neighboring sites will be attractive. If such an attractive
interaction is strong enough, the $e_g$ electrons will tend to accumulate
together to lower the total energy of the system. In this case, the
electronic density is no longer uniform and the phase separation occurs
between electron-rich and electron-poor regions. The chemical-potential
judgment of phase separation is $\partial \mu/\partial x \leq 0$, equivalent
to the energy judgment $\partial^2 E_{g}/\partial x^2 \leq 0$ due to
$\mu=\partial E_g/\partial x$. The phase separation will appear when
$\partial ^{2}E_{g}/\partial x^{2}\leq 0$, where both $\eta _{2}$
and $\tilde{J}$ in Eqs.\ (\ref{eaf}) and (\ref{ground}) are functions of
$x$.

\section{Phase diagrams and discussions}

Mean-field equations (6a)-(6d) have been numerically solved and the phase
diagrams
at $x=0.5$ are plotted in Figs.\ 1 and 2. To make the results comparable
with each other for different $S$, we have used reduced coupling constants
$j_{af}=J_{AF}S^{2}$ and $j_{h}=J_{H}\tilde{S}$. Fig. 1 is the phase
diagram of $j_{af}/t$ and $t/j_{h}$ in the large $U$ limit with
$S=3/2$ and $S\rightarrow \infty $. In this case, $J_2=0$, and
$t/j_h$ indicates the ratio of the repulsive interaction
due to virtue process (a) to the kinetic energy of the $e_g$ electron.
It is found that the system is in the FM state for small $j_{af}/t$ and
$t/j_{h}$, where either direct or indirect AF superexchange coupling is
weak compared with the FM coupling due to the DE mechanism. With increasing
$j_{af}/t$ and $t/j_{h}$, the AF superexchange coupling between the
neighboring localized spins is enhanced. As $\tilde{J}\geq \tilde{t}/(12S+9)$,
the CF state appears; meanwhile, a repulsive interaction between fermions
is increased due to the increase of $t/j_{h}$. At this stage, there is a CF
ordering but the charge ordering has not yet arisen, which is labeled
as the CF1 state in Figs.\ 1 and 2. When $t/j_{h}$ is increased beyond a
threshold so that the repulsive potential between fermions dominates over the
kinetic energy, the fermions begin to tend toward one sublattice and thus
charge ordering emerges, which is called as the CF2 state. Finally,
with further increase of $t/j_h$, $\delta$ increases gradually. At
$\delta =1/2$, all the $e_g$ electrons are confined in one sublattice in
the AF background, forming a Wigner lattice. It is found that the phase
diagram for $S=3/2$ is very similar to that for $S\rightarrow \infty$.
The difference between them can be seen in the large $j_{af}/t$ case,
for the effective repulsive interaction is proportional to the factor
$\tilde{J}_{1}-\tilde{J}_{2}$ or $t/j_{h}-j_{af}/(2tS^{2}\tilde{S})$.
For finite $S$, the increase of $j_{af}$ will decrease this factor
and so be unfavorable to the charge ordering. As a result, the quantum
fluctuation of finite $S$ leads to enlargements of the $CF1$ and $CF2$
regions.

For manganites, it is roughly estimated that $t\approx 0.15eV$, $j_{h}\approx
0.75eV$, $U\approx 10eV$, and $j_{af}\approx 8meV$, \cite{mishra}
so that $j_{af}/t\approx 0.05$ and $t/j_h\approx 0.2$. From Fig. 1,
it follows that the repulsive interaction from virtual process (a) alone
enables the $e_g$ electrons to form the charge ordering. This indicates that
this process plays an important role in determining the collective behavior
of electrons. In actual doped manganites, there may also be other effects
that favor charge ordered phase, which are not considered in the present
paper, such as the direct nearest-neighbor Coulomb interactions. \cite
{tomioka,mishra,lee} It is worth pointing out here whether the charge ordering
occurs depends not only the ratio of $t/j_h$, but also the magnetic
ordering of the system. In doped manganites, the amplitude for an electron
to hop from one site to another is determined by the relative orientation
between the core spins at the two sites, being greatest when the core spins
are parallel and least when they are antiparallel. As a result, a FM state
has the greatest hybridization and so tends to spread the electronic density
uniformly through the system; while an AF state has the least hybridization
and favors the charge ordering. This can account for the sensitivity
of charge ordering with respect to an applied magnetic field that
tends always to align the core spins. \cite{kuwahara95,tomioka}
Besides, there is a difference between two types of repulsive
interactions mentioned above in the response to an applied magnetic
field: with a decrease in the AF correlation, the superexchange
electron-electron interaction is reduced, while the direct Coulomb
interaction remains unchanged. Therefore, charge ordering caused by
virtual process (a) is more easily affected by the magnetic field than
that caused by the direct Coulomb interaction.

\begin{figure}

       $U=\infty$ for (a) $S=1.5$ and (b) $S\rightarrow\infty$.

       canted ferromagnet without and with charge ordering, respectively.
       WL stands for the Wigner lattice.}
\end{figure}

In Fig. 2, we present the phase diagram of  $j_{h}/(j_{h}+U)$ and
$t/j_{h}$.  In the finite $U$ case, $j_{h}/(j_{h}+U)$ describes the
relative strength of the effective interaction due to virtual process (b)
to that due to process (a). For small $t/j_h$, there is only a FM state,
where the Hund's coupling is very strong, both virtual processes (a)
and (b) are suppressed so that the hybridization effect and the DE
ferromagnetism dominates over the system. With increasing $t/j_h$,
both $J_1$ and $J_2$ become large and so the AF superexchange coupling
due to virtue processes (a) and (b) is enhanced, leading to the CF1 state.
As $t/j_h$ is increased beyond a threshold, the charge ordering or phase
separation may occur, depending on the competition between effective
repulsive and attractive interactions. For $j_h<U$,
$\tilde{J}_{1}>\tilde{J}_{2}$, the net repulsive interaction favors the
charge ordering. The opposite case is $\tilde{J}_{1}<\tilde{J}_{2}$,
where there is is a net attractive interaction and so the phase separation
may occur. In the middle region near $j_h/(j_h+U)= 0.5$, a cancellation
of $\tilde{J}_{1}$ and $\tilde{J}_{2}$ leads to a very small net
interaction so that the non-uniform charge phase can not be formed.
Thus, the phase diagram shown in Fig. 2 is determined by two types
of competitions: one competition between hybridization and interaction
and the other between the repulsive and attractive interactions,
respectively, arising from virtual processes (a) and (b).

\begin{figure}
\epsfxsize=8.5cm
\epsfbox{fig2.eps}
\caption{
Phase diagram of $t/j_h$ and $j_h/U$. The AF coupling constant
is taken to be $j_{af}/t=0.03$. PS stands for the phase separation.
}
\end{figure}

At this stage, we wish to point out that in realistic manganites, the
charge ordering is likely to be accompanied by the orbital ordering and
the lattice distortion, \cite{goodenough55} which is not considered in
the present model, for the main purpose of this work is to examine the
effects of the finite $J_{H}$ and $U$. More virtual processes will be
involved if the orbital degeneracy is taken into account, since there
are more mediate states. Meanwhile the lattice distortion will affect
the virtual processes due to its effect on the electron hopping.
These additional virtual processes may be important in the
realistic manganites.

Finally, the present method is not confined to the half-doping case. Fig. 3 is the phase diagram for arbitrary doping, in which, for simplicity, $U$
is set to zero to maximize the effect of process (b). In this case, it is
found that the phase separation occurs at either high or low concentrations
of the $e_g$ electrons. The phase diagram obtained here is very similar to
the result of Monte Carlo simulations. \cite{yunoki98}
Similar results were also obtained analytically by other authors
\cite{arovas98,nagaev97}.
As $U$ is increased,
process (b) will be suppressed, since the energy paid necessarily for the
double occupancy, $U+J_HS$, will become high. The phase separation
disappears when $U$ is large enough. In doped manganites, the on-site
Coulomb interaction $U$ is usually much stronger than the Hund's coupling
$J_HS$. However, if the orbital degeneracy at each site is further taken
into account, the energy paid for the doubly occupancy might be much lower
than $U+J_HS$,  for two $e_g$ electrons at the same site can occupy
two different orbits and so their spins can be parallel to each other
as well as the core spin. In this sense, the virtual process of the double
occupancy may revive.  It is worth mentioning that the coincidence of
our result at $U=0$ with the numerical simulation indicates the reliability
of our method in this system.

\begin{figure}

\end{figure}

\section{Conclusion}

In summary, we have studied an extended Kondo lattice model in the
presence of strong but finite Hund's coupling and on-site Coulomb
interaction. By means of the Schwinger-boson representation and a
mean-field approximation, we show that the effects of the finite $J_H$ and
$U$ favor antiferromagnetism. In the half-doping case, it is found that the
charge ordering may be superimposed on the magnetic ordering by the repulsive
interaction between electrons due to the virtual process of electron hopping.
If the on-site Coulomb interaction is weak, the phase separation may occur
in either high- or low-doping case. The calculated results show that the
finite $J_H$ and $U$ effects play an important role in forming the magnetic
ordering and non-uniform charge distributions in the doped manganese oxides.

Home » Razor E325 Electric Scooter Review
Razor has been one of the worldwide leading companies in scooters manufacturing since 2000. With their work, they contributed to making the kick scooters first, and then the electric scooters become a global phenomenon. Their work has always been up to date, bringing new models into the market any time they could provide an improvement to the scooters' technology or design.
Yet, with their Razor E325, customers are wondering whether there is an actual improvement – or any change at least – from the previous models E300 and E300S. With this article, we are not making just a review for Razor E325 electric scooter but also investigating whether there any differences with the other models that we've mentioned. To find out everything about the E325, the difference between this model and the E300 included, keep on reading.
Click the arrow below to hide Table of Contents
General Specs for Razor E325 electric scooter:
Scooter's weight: 42.53pounds
Maximum load: 220pounds
Mile-range: 9 miles (45 minutes of continuoususe)
Charging-time: 12
Twist-gripthrottle
Retractablekickstand
Rear hand-controlledbrake
9'' widepneumatic
250-watt chain-drivenmotor
24V (2 x 12V)battery
Suitable for kids older than 12 yearsold
Assembly toolkitincluded
Quality and Design :
Like all Razor's electric scooters of the "E" series, the E325 features an extra-wide deck and so-called "chunky" structure. With a glance you can guess that this scooter is part of Razor E series: it's a colorful, bulky e-scooter with an informal young design and dimensions mostly suitable for kids and teens. The E325 Electric Scooter is, in fact, an Electric Scooter aimed at kids but – just like the E300 it can also be ridden by adults since the maximum weight that it can carry is up to 220 pounds. It's dimensions, on the other hand, wouldn't be that comfortable for taller people – the handlebar tube is not adjustable.
The E325's handlebar is provided with rubber handgrips and hosts the two main controls over your electric scooter: brake control and acceleration control.
With their right hand, the rider can accelerate the e-scooter through the twist-grip throttle control. It doesn't allow variable speed control, but just on and off and it's no different from the E300's. With their left hand, riders can operate the brake lever that activates the rear brake.
The E325 features a single rear brake. It can be operated through the lever on left of the handlebar. Since the speed that the E325 can reach is not that high (but kid-appropriate) a single brake system is enough to bring the e-scooter to a safe and quick stop.

The E325 electric scooter features an extra-wide deck to provide extra space for the rider's foot. The extra-wide structure allows a better balance – which can be useful for younger riders – and improved stability on different types of terrains.
You can buy Razor E325 Electric Scooter from Amazon:
The Razor E325 Kids & Adults Electric Scooter features 9-inch pneumatic tires (just like the E300's). Pneumatic tires require maintenance but they can provide better performance. The alternative to pneumatic tires, in fact, is polyurethane wheels which have some advantages (for example, they are 100% puncture-proof and require no maintenance) but they are aimed at kids' e-scooter and go slower. Pneumatic tires can ensure a higher speed but they require some attention: frequently check the air pressure and, when you get a flat, replace the tire as soon as you can to avoid damaging the wheel.
The E325 is not foldable and it's also quite heavy (42 pounds) especially for kids. This is why the retractable kickstand is particularly useful. You can leave your electric scooter standing whenever you're not using it and also while charging it. This is certainly more comfortable than leaving it lying on the ground, plus, it prevents scratches and damages.
Hiboy S2 Electric Scooter
The E325 comes in a big box that weighs more than 50 pounds and you'll need to assembly it. The process is very simple, you'll basically need to attach the handlebar to the deck and that's all. Tires are already attached to the deck but you'll need to check their pressure before letting your kids (or yourself) riding the electric scooter. The brake lever is also already attached to the handlebar, you just need to connect the wire that links it to the rear wheel. The overall process is quick and simple. The most complicated part is probably checking the tires' pressure (you'll need to get you a tire pump for it is not included in the package).
Performance for Razor E325 Electric Scooter:
The Razor E325 Kids & Adults Electric Scooter features a 250-watt chain-driven motor which, other than being very quiet, allows the e-scooter to reach a top speed of 15 mph. Whether the electric scooter is used by a child or an adult with no particular speed claims, such a speed is more than enough to have fun and avoid arriving late to school (we wouldn't recommend this model to adults who need an electric scooter to commute to work).
Given the restrained speed, the single rear brake is enough to bring the electric scooter to a safe stop. The wide deck makes the e-scooter super comfortable and stable. The riding is smooth and goes without particular issues on flat terrain. When going uphills, instead, the e-scooter slows down greatly and the battery runs down much more quickly.
The E325 overall performances equal the E300's. Their "chunky" frame, also, enables both the model to withstand the wear of everyday use. Both the models are built to last, and although they go under the name of "kids and adults electric scooters" they both seem far more suitable for kids than adults.
Battery life and charging time
Just like the E300 model, the Razor E325 features two batteries of 12V each. They allow a mile-range of about 9 miles and 40 minutes of continuous use. Mile-range isn't impressive, but it is in line with mile-ranges of electric scooter of the same price range (it is also the Razor E300's very same).
The batteries took 12 hours to fully charge. This is a long time, but almost every electric scooters for kids feature the same charging time (only adults scooters seem to be provided with batteries that charge within less than 6 hours). Since charging time is 12 hours you may be tempted to leave the electric scooter plugged overnight. Yet, the manufacturer recommends not to leave your Razor E300 plugged after it is fully charged – you'd be compromising the battery life span.
Why we like the Razor E325 Electric Scooter:
Razor builds high-quality electric scooter mainly aimed at kids, with some models like the E325 (and the E300) that are considered both kids and adults e-scooter. And, in our opinion, this is an advantage.
Kids & Adults E-scooter. The Razor E325 seems to be mainly designed for kids with his chunky frame and colorful design – but, with a maximum load of 220 lbs, it can also carry adults. You can potentially purchase one electric scooter for the whole family.
We liked the E325 performance. The top speed of 15 mph is enough to have fun and feel that pleasant wind on your face as you ride, but it is also moderate enough to let kids stay safe. The bulky frame improves balance andcomfort.
On an electric scooter of this size, a retractable kickstand is strictly necessary.
Lying it down on the floor and lifting it again could be complicated for kids – the electric scooter is also quite heavy.
What we didn't like about Razor E325 Electric Scooter:
Not foldable design. Especially for those who buy an electric scooter for their kids, a foldable e-scooter could be more comfortable. They can store it in the car truck with ease or put it easily away when the children can't play with it.
It'squite heavy. Not too heavy for adults, but it could be complicated for children to lift it.
The E325 should be an evolution from the E300, but is itactually?
Battery range 75%
Top speed 75%
Quality 90%
Value for money 85%
Differences between Razor E300 and E325 electric scooter
Both the Razor E300 (you can read our full E300 review here) and E325 are designed for both kids and adults. Is there any difference between the two models?
The E300 and the E325 have basically the same dimensions, weight capacity, and metallic chunky frame. They are both equipped with 9'' pneumatic tires. The available color options are different. The E300 is available in white, silver, red and blue, while the E325 is available in silver, blue, and black.
The two models feature an identical battery of 24V (2 x 12V), the same mile-range of 9 miles and 40 minutes of continuous use. Charging time is 12 hours in both cases.
The Razor E325 is a high-quality kids & adults electric scooter, very versatile and a great value for money. It is pretty much identical to the E300 model, apart from the color options available. If you're thinking to update from an E300 to an E325, we won't recommend it of course – you'd be basically purchasing the same electric scooter you already have. If you're just uncertain which one to buy, choose the one that looks better to you.

First reaction, I liked the rather steampunkish imagery, but I wasn't keen on the rearrangement of the music. I hope it'll grow on me, though.
I absolutely loved the new theme/opening titles!!!
I think the visuals are very cool; I don't care at all for the music however.

Burger King, through their insanely creative advertising agency Crispin Porter + Bogusky (see their recent Burger King perfume launch), launches a Facebook application that encourages users to remove Facebook friends. Sacrifice ten of them and you got a free Whopper. 233,906 friends were removed by 82,771 people in less than a week.
Did anyone talk to the sales department before pulling the trigger on this? All that happened is the user being dissed got a message telling them, which helps the application spread virally. Without that feature the app is far less powerful. There is no real privacy issue here, just a policy decision by Facebook that people shouldn't be notified when you remove them as a friend.

Holstein Kiel - Magdeburg, 3rd September on 9:30 P.M.
After 1 win and 2 draws, the home team is in the 7th position, havinf won 5 points so far. In the last match, they have tied in an away match against Jahn Regensburg by (0‑0), after in the previous match they have tied (1‑1) at home, against Heidenheim. Holstein Kiel has won 5, tied 2 and lost 3 of the last 10 home matches. Defensive consistency hasn't been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 7 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 8 of the last 10 matches.
The away team is currently in the 15th position of the league, with 2 points won, after 2 draws and 1 loss. In the penultimate match, they tied in an away match against Erzgebirge Aue, by (0‑0). In the last match, they tied in a home match against Ingolstadt, by (1‑1). In the last 10 away matches Magdeburg has won 8 and tied 2. Their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 8 of the last 10 matches.
The most likely scenario for this challenge will be the existence of several goals. A very open match is expected, with both teams trying to reach the goal. In addition, it is clear that the strong point of the two sides is in the offensive sector, making the game very open and with several goals in the final score. So, and taking into account these factors, we recommend for betting over 2.5 Goals in a betting odd around 1,85.
So for the Holstein Keil - Madgeburg game the information that www.balanceyourbet.com is trying to give is that the betting odds offered for Under 2.5 Goals (U 2.5) and for No Goal (NG) are very low, while the odds for Over 2.5 Goals (O 2.5) and for Goal-Goal (GG) are particularly high.
Therefore, by combining the tipster and www.balanceyourbet.com views for Holstein Keil - Madgeburg match we will propose Over 2.5 Goals offered in a betting odd around 1.84. For more risky players Over 3.5 Goals is offered in a betting odd around 3.20.
