The running of an engine generates toxic gases that emanate from the vehicle through the exhaust pipe, which contains small carbon Nano-particles that are potentially dangerous to the environment. These particles could be carcinogenic when humans breathe them in. To circumvent this problem, the automobile industry created a component known as the DPF – Diesel Particle Filter.
Diesel particle filters are designed to trap carbon Nano-particles and eliminate them, ensuring that the exhaust is free of these dangerous and harmful chemicals. Although the automobile industry claims that these devices are maintenance free and has a long life, DPFs frequently develop problems, causing a nightmare for van drivers.
The DPF frequently gets blocked by the soot and carbon particles that are trapped within it. Regular cleaning is important in order to ensure that the DPF runs smoothly, which is known as regeneration. Often, regeneration isn't a complete solution, and the filter can continue to clog until the vehicle's computerised system detects it.
Replacing the DPF can be expensive, often costing several hundred pounds. The bad news is that the new DPF could develop similar problems, forcing the hapless van owner to come back for yet another replacement within months.
Should the van be sold or repaired?
It would be great if there was some kind of assurance that the DPF problems would not resurface within some time. However, in many cases, these problems can be frustrating and result in repeated expenditure for the van owner. In this situation, it's best not to hang on to the vehicle and simply sell it off, get a good deal and purchase another van.
We Buy Broken Vans are one of the country's most reputed and efficient refurbishment specialists of used vans. The company purchases all kinds of problematic vans and will often give you a much better deal than you're likely to get elsewhere. A quick look at the company's website will lead you to discover the free online valuation tool.
The company collects vans at no charge based anywhere in the UK and offers a no quibbles, hassle-free customer experience. Get in touch with the team today on (0121) 285 9859, or contact them online and your DPF problems could soon be a thing of the past.

Let's talk of what's good in the world.
It's easy to forget what's going well when there's so much focus on what's going wrong. The news cycle seems to turns on crime and environmental disasters and economic crises and autocrats. When you ask someone how they are, the reply is often "not too bad", as though bad is the default position. Pop your head into any workplace and you're bound to hear a weighty bassline of discontent rumbling through its staff.

Museum pact creates new tool for researching Holocaust victims
Andrew Silow-Carroll
(New York Jewish Week via JTA) — In a boon for scholars and amateur researchers, records from Yad Vashem, Israel's Holocaust authority, are now publicly available through JewishGen, the largest online Jewish genealogy resource of its kind.
The agreement announced Tuesday by Yad Vashem and New York's Museum of Jewish Heritage/A Living Memorial to the Holocaust, an affiliate of JewishGen, provides easy access to millions of names commemorated in Yad Vashem's database.
"Pages of Testimony," documents collected by Yad Vashem since the 1950s, include the names, biographical details and, when possible, photographs of some 2,700,000 men, women and children killed in the Holocaust. Yad Vashem's Names Database commemorates over 4,800,000 Jewish victims in total. Researchers will now be able to retrieve these records through a direct search within JewishGen.
"Yad Vashem's Pages of Testimony might contain the only information about someone who was murdered in the Shoah, yet researchers might not know to look on their website," JewishGen Executive Director Avraham Groll told the Jewish Telegraphic Agency. Under the new agreement, the Yad Vashem search results will automatically appear within JewishGen.
This story is part of JTA's coverage of New York through the New York Jewish Week. To read more stories like this, sign up for our daily New York newsletter here.
In 2020, JewishGen announced a similar partnership with the USC Shoah Foundation, integrating data from nearly 50,000 Jewish Holocaust survivor testimonies.
"By making available these precious records via JewishGen, the broader Jewish community can more easily research names of family and friends who were murdered during the Holocaust," said Museum of Jewish Heritage President and CEO Jack Kliger.
While the material may help individuals identify missing relatives or restore a truncated family tree, Yad Vashem is also hoping researchers will help fill in the gaps in its own records.
"More than one million Holocaust victims have yet to be memorialized at Yad Vashem," said Alexander Avram, director of Yad Vashem's Hall of Names, in a statement. "By widening the exposure of our endeavor through JewishGen, the genealogical community will be able to play an important role in helping us add a large number of Pages of Testimony in the years to come."
The records can be accessed via the JewishGen Holocaust database.

Farewell Tetsis, Greek light catcher
Posted on March 8, 2016 by art scene athens	Leave a comment
IN THE work of acclaimed painter Panayiotis Tetsis, light and colour are enemies and allies because without the one, the other cannot exist. But it is darkness that is colour's real enemy. In this amazing contemporary colourist's last show of 27 large-scale works at the Theocharakis Foundation (May 6-October 25 2015), Tetsis, who used to call himself 'the painter with the paintbrushes and the colours', had now embraced darkness, as evident in the predominant use of black and grey. Maybe this inspirational painter, teacher and Academician, was also coming to terms with his own darkness – his battle with cancer, which finally ended on Saturday, March 5, at Evangelismos Hospital, where he passed away, aged 91.
What was so special about Tetsis' painting? For most, it was his ability to capture the vibrant colour and light of Greece on canvas, rendering it in such a manner that was altogether scintillating and euphoric. His landscapes are like contemporary painted hymns to nature. But his oeuvre is like a prism with many sides: yes it's about catching Greek light and colour, but also about the process of painting, and about the experience, and about translating reality into colour and form, but also about extracting the essence – of Greece. And… so much more…
In the Fifties in Greece, when many painters got experimental with other mediums, or felt it was passé to stick to painting from real life (opting instead for the modern path of Abstract Art), Tetsis stuck to his guns. He followed his instinct and continued his own painterly adventures, far from the trodden path, translating the real world into his painterly language, working also en plein air, at one with nature. He wasn't afraid to go against the grain, whatever the cost. That's why it's hard to 'pigeonhole' Tetsis, because in essence, he was in a league of his own.
Although he has been hailed as a post-impressionist, a colourist, and an expressionist, the abstract expressionist, gestural nature of Tetsis' painting is also evident. Furthermore, there's that romantic spirit, which harks back to Turner, even to German Romanticism – his awe of nature is evident and passionate in his art. And then, there's also the incredible order of his compositional form – something that comes out especially in his engravings (another chapter of his work). But as the director of the National Gallery of Greece, Marina Lambraki-Plaka has pointed out, it was also the poetic nature of his art that appealed: the ability to translate into paint on canvas the essence of Greece as described by writers such as Alexandros Papadiamantis, or poets such as Andreas Kalvos, George Seferis and Odysseus Elytis.
The frail 91-year old artist was the first to receive the State's 'Yannis Moralis' Award recently on February 29. Sadly, Tetsis was too ill to go to the award-ceremony that took place at the Megaron Mousikis Concert Hall. The President of Greece, Prokopis Pavlopoulos, handed the award to Tetsis' son instead. In his speech, President Pavlopoulos praised the artist of colours, who "composes feasts of colours, organises symposiums of colours". He also stated that "Panayiotis Tetsis was to painting what Odysseus Elytis was to poetry."
This charismatic, green-eyed gentleman of an artist, was born on Hydra (1925) – the island, together with that of Syfnos that he would paint incessantly throughout his life. He studied at the Athens School of Fine Arts, with further studies in Paris. Tetsis taught at the Athens School of Fine Arts from 1976-91. He also became Dean of the school in 1989, and was also one of the founding members of the Vakalo School of Art (in 1958), where he taught for 20 years. Tetsis became a member of the Athens Academy in 1993. In 1999, the Academy awarded him with the 'Grand Commander of the Order of the Phoenix' medal. And that's just a fraction of his teaching and Academic career in focus. Just speaking to some of his former pupils, or looking at their work, you can detect his inspiration and influence – a real mentor – although he liked to tell his students to 'shake off' their teacher.
With around 90 solo shows to his name, Tetsis had also participated in many group shows and also two Biennales (of Alexandreia, and Sao Paulo), but refused to represent Greece at the Venice Biennale in 1970, for political reasons, seeing as this was the time of the Greek Junta dictatorship. In 1999, the grand retrospective of his work at Greece's National Gallery was another highpoint in his career. A generous man, he had donated many of his works, including 210 paintings to the National Gallery. The expanded, new National Gallery will name its central hall after Tetsis, where his monumental work 'Public Market' will also be exhibited. Tetsis also had stipulated that 20% of the works he had donated to the gallery could be sold in order to buy works of other artists if necessary.
National Gallery director Marina Lambraki-Plaka said of Tetsis, at the recent Yannis Moralis Award ceremony: "In truth, who can imagine the history of new Greek painting without the presence of Tetsis? The overall image of contemporary Greek painting would be lost in an instant – as would its highest merits and especially that catchy rhythm, that unbeatable rush, that therapeutic feeling of vital euphoria and spiritual health which the works of this Hydran creator emanate".
Tetsis' funeral took place at the Aghios Dionysios Church in Kolonaki, Monday March 7, 2.30pm. He was buried the following day, on his beloved island of Hydra. At the funeral, politicians, artists, intellectuals and other VIPs came to pay their respects, and many felt that with his passing away, another chapter in Greek art history had closed – the end of an era. We leave it up to his pupils therefore to hold up high the 'torch' of Greek painting in the 21st century and hopefully pass it on to another generation, whatever the cost… Farewell Greece's unique master of light and colour.

A French historic museum taken from the canal.
I had a great opportunity to travel all over Europe and Israel and take some beautiful shots, which I wanted to share with all the people checking out my free wallpaper. I wanted to concentrate mostly on architecture, such as buildings, bridges, fountains, and statues. Every country has such unique styles that you can't even compare. From the historic German architecture, which was used as landmarks in the war, to the French buildings that everyone around the world recognizes, European buildings have their own unique style! Check out the vast collection of Belgium buildings, German buildings, French buildings, Italian buildings, British buildings, and even the Swiss buildings! Traveling the world is definitely something everyone should do in their lives. It really opens up your perception of how you live in relation to the rest of the world. In some countries, what you may consider your bedroom may be considered their living room or maybe even their entire apartment. It really helps to shed some light on how our lives compare and contrast between those around the world. Also the fact that our cultures differ so greatly is definitely something I find very interesting. Even going from one state to another in the US can change not only how people speak, but also even the way laws are interpreted. But imagine crossing the sea, how much the world really changes. I have always wondered how European countries are different from us and had the great pleasure of seeing the reality up close. I also traveled in Israel, which was one of the most amazing trips I have ever taken. I will be posting some of my adventurous around the world here. I hope to be able to travel soon to South America. I feel that their world would also differ greatly from what I call home. Can't wait to go one day!

Dr. David Wilbur: Power and Illusion: Religion and Human Need. Part 8
by Ervin Taylor
This is Part 8 of the summary of Dr. Wilbur's book. It should be emphasized that all of the text in this series of blogs in bold font in the body of the text of the chapter summary has been kindly provided by Dr. Wilbur. If there are any of my own comments, they will follow in regular type.
Summary for Chapter 7: Religions and Culture
Culture: The sum total of ways of living built up by a group of human beings and transmitted from one generation to another—Webster's College Dictionary 1995.
Religion and culture are intertwined with one affecting and sometimes limiting the expression of the other. We have all grown up in a culture and from that have acquired models of how humans should behave in many different situations. If we have religion it is inextricably part of that culture.
Ideology and Religion as Cultural Tools
Religions seem to fall in the broader category of ideologies. The goals of ideologies are generally to alter human belief and action in the interests of controlling our world. The claim is usually that this will produce greater human happiness by making better human individuals, greater social integration or more equality or …. These movements (ideology or religion or …) also may offer great opportunities for the exercise of power for good or evil by the leaders.
The idea of a secular culture not based on religion probably started with the Enlightenment. The mix in North American culture can be seen in the wide variation in our treatment of the Christmas festival as either religious or secular. In fact human lives in most of the Western democracies show great variation in the importance of religious concerns—some dominated by religion and some in effect atheistic. Western religions especially some form of Christianity have also been carried to much of the rest of the world along with other elements of Western culture. There this mix is evolving with sometimes unexpected results.
Religion and Family/Gender Relations
The dominant religion in a culture is usually understood to support the typical family and gender relationships in that society. Throughout most of its history the Christian church has been patriarchal in organization and orientation. Women's rights have been improved in the last two centuries but religion was not generally a source of leadership in this change. Currently there is an ongoing religious battle about homosexuality and whether it might be a real and acceptable human variant.
Religion and Educational Factors
Some religious groups prosper best among those with less education and may even, like the Jehovah's Witnesses, discourage higher education for their followers. On the other hand American scientists have a lower belief in God and immortality than the average American and scientists prominent and productive enough to be members of the National Academy of Science are markedly less likely to be believers than other scientists.
Attempts at Culture without Religion
At its height the French Revolution tried to do away with God and religion but substituted a Goddess of reason. Many social/cultural changes were attempted such as changing the weekly cycle. Most of this disappeared and the church was restored under Napoleon Bonaparte. The other documented attempt to rid society of religion and God was the Bolshevik takeover of Russia and subsequently other countries. The Party itself was a partial substitute for a religion but it was ineffective in this role and after almost three generations of power it was gone.
Limited Secularism
A secular state without a commitment to any religion but tolerant of many was founded in North America in the late 18th century. This was partly guided by the evolution of first Dutch and later English tolerance of multiple religions. These had been the two most successful commercial societies up to that time. The American model of an open, pluralistic society has been successful and admired—except by fundamentalist religious groups.
The Religious Marketplace
The open North American religious marketplace has created a place where religions have to compete for adherents. This may partially explain why the United States has come to have more vigorous religious belief than is found in most other western democracies.
Happiness and Religion
It is unclear just how religion relates to human happiness but it is clear that a high level of religiosity in a society doesn't correlate with a high level of happiness.
Cultural Achievements Associated with Religion
From ancient and widely read religious texts to modern literature driven by religious images, emotions and ideas, religion and literature are deeply intertwined.
Religious themes and religious support have created much of our great music, art and architecture. This may be true because religious organizations had resources for the task.
Schools in churches were probably the starting point for many European universities. The great universities of North America often began life as religious institutions but have usually moved to a secular existence. Churches however remain extensively involved in education.
Religions have been sponsors of medical care, especially entreaties/prayers for healing since antiquity. These are still very popular. Churches have also set up modern medical facilities to supplement the prayers for healing and in some cases this has brought them positive attention.

Nash Jr
Hill Top Stage
22nd Nov | 7:15 PM
Hailing from the capital city, Nash JR has gained notoriety among the circle of bass heads across the nation.
Having an ear for rhythm since young age, Nash began perfecting his craft of mixing at the age of 15 and has been promoting bass music since 2010.
Be it New Skool rap, Grime, Jungle or Trap/808 to all the way to Old Skool break beat hip hop, Nash knows how to seamlessly weave different genres together and create something fresh with his out of the box approach.
DJ - SA
Shiny happy faces, feet worn out from dancing and a whole legion of new fans – few DJ's can claim to deliver all 3 things every single time, but the man best known for reviving an entire genre of music in India – DJ SA does just that!
The country's premier Hip Hop/Trap DJ, SA has redefined the genre for urban Indian youth and made it relevant again, not only through his music, but also his influence as a bonafide street style aficionado and discerning sneaker-head. Steadily taking his passion to a whole new audience, SA also collaborated with Levi's for the launch campaign of their new range of Tapered denims.
SA's instinctive mixes and a keen eye for trends ensures he is always up to something. Voted 'India's best Hip Hop DJ' at the inaugural VH1 MyFav Awards, he's packed innumerous appearances at festivals like NH7 Weekender, VH1 Supersonic, Guestlist4Good, Red Bull Tour Bus #OffTheRoof, Soledition and Timeout 72. From enthralling audiences to engaging with his peers, SA has represented India at the Amsterdam Dance Event, ADE BEATS Hip Hop Panel – an annual international platform for hip hop, bass and beats.
It might surprise many that music rooted in the blues finds expression in India. It's even more surprising perhaps that the flag bearers on the blues in India come not from its sprawling metros but from a small north eastern city called Shillong.
It is here that you'll find India's finest blues band, wilfully and happily oblivious of the country's dominant soundscapes but at the same time enriching it with the triumphant sounds and grooves of the blues and blues derived rock, funk, soul and R&B. They call themselves SOULMATE and don't bother asking them why they chose the blues because you ought to know better - 'the blues chose them'.
Soulmate was formed in October 2003 by Rudy Wallang and Tipriti Kharbangar and their sound is a sonic canvas grounded in Rudy's elegant blues guitar that channels Buddy Guy, Albert Collins, Jimi Hendrix, Muddy Waters and the Three Kings but also embracing every sound that Tipriti's extensive vocal range could accommodate, from Koko Taylor, Etta James and Nina Simone to the recent addition of the earthy sounds of Khasi folk music.
The Local Train
23rd Nov | 7:00 PM
The Local Train is a Hindi Rock Band from New Delhi who write and produce their own music. The band launched 4 singles over a year before releasing their debut album 'Aalas ka Pedh' in 2015. Their second album 'Vaaqif' was released in January 2018 which generated very promising sales and was one of the most streamed independent albums on Apple Music India.
Post the success of their albums, TLT witnessed a huge demand for their live shows and are frequently invited to perform for their fans all over the country. The band has performed at over 150 shows in the last eighteen months with a fair mix of clubs, colleges and festivals. Their YouTube channel is one of the fastest growing channels among the independent artists of the country with 3,16,900 subscribers and over 47 million collective views on 11 official videos.
The Royal Enfield Collective
The Royal Enfield collective is the riders band. Playing the classic rock and roll numbers along with some Blues and Jazz, they comprise of the playlist of the quintessential rider and explorer.
Avial
True to their name, Avial (a mixed-vegetable delicacy) blends Malayalam Poetry with Contemporary Alternative Rock Music. With elements of Indie Rock and Folk Music underlying an electronic feel, Avial's music has overcome language barriers not only in India but has also drawn fans across the sub-continent and the globe. It has an increasing fan following, with a revolutionary approach in today's contemporary music scene in India. The band members come from an in-depth musical background, with a diverse exposure of working with different bands before they could come together. In search of something more intrinsic, with a sense of belonging, Avial discovered and articulated the expression in their own mother tongue, dared to express their music with their self-titled debut album. Fetching a great name for themselves, Avial is one of the most sought after Indian bands today, transcending genres, justifying the term "Alternative Malayalam Rock"
Dualist Inquiry
24th Nov | 7:00 PM
Sahej Bakshi, better known as Dualist Inquiry, rose to prominence in what was then an amorphous Indian independent music scene, capturing fans at the intersection of guitar music and rhythmic electronic dance, with a sound that soon came to define his identity as a live act. Tipped as the leader of the new wave of Indian electronica, Dualist Inquiry helped break down doors at a time when rigidity seemed all but certain to dominate independent music.
The next two years, turned out to be the most challenging, with his internal and external worlds colliding. In an effort to resist being compartmentalized, Bakshi burrowed deep to explore a new sonic playground, going on to write and release another full-length album, 2016's Dreamcatcher, a more wholesome, pop-oriented album pre-dated regional trends and took both critics and fans by surprise.
By 2017, a pair of ambitious full length albums and headlining almost every major stage in India, Bakshi retreated into solitude with a conscious goal to learn and evolve. Eventually, the time away led to the birth of boxout.fm, an online community radio station he co-founded alongside DJ MoCity, a platform that is making noise for all the correct reasons and has rightfully become a pillar for community-supported initiatives in music. The inspiration garnered from this tangential area of work helped birthed a brand-new chapter for Dualist Inquiry.

Parikrama is a rock and roll band from Delhi, India. They have several live performances and original numbers to their name. The band was officially formed on 17 June 1991 in Delhi. The word parikrama means 'orbital revolutions' in Sanskrit. The band often fuses Indian classical music instruments like mridangam, tabla and flute with conventional instruments like guitar, drums and keyboards. They have been inspired and influenced by the likes of Pink Floyd, Jimi Hendrix and The Doors. Sonam Sherpa and Saurabh Chaudhary are proud endorsees of Carl Martin effect pedals.
In its 2014 listing of "25 Greatest Indian Rock Songs of the last 25 Years", "Rolling Stone India" featured But It Rained (Single, 1996) by the band. This song was dedicated to the kidnappings in the Kashmir Valley, during that period.
They are yet to release a full-length album, because they prefer giving out their music for free. They have had millions of downloads from their site and other related pages. They did release a free multimedia CD of their singles and videos in 2001. The band does not have any policies against
their music being copied and distributed. They have made their music available for download on their official website.

Tzv. teorie veřejné volby (či škola veřejné volby) je směr teoretické ekonomie zabývající se procesy kolektivního rozhodování, tj. rozhodování činěného skupinou nebo v její prospěch. Předmětem teorie veřejné volby je způsob, jakým se tato kolektivní rozhodování realizují. Většinou se tato rozhodnutí týkají způsobu alokace (rozdělení) zdrojů (důchodů, bohatství) ve společnosti.

Příznačné pro teorii veřejné volby je to, že používá ekonomické metody pro analýzu "netržního" rozhodování. Všeobecně bývá označována za ekonomickou analýzu politiky - zkoumá politiku za použití metodologických nástrojů teoretické ekonomie.

Teorií veřejné volby se zabývá či zabývala celá řada ekonomů, mezi nejvýznamnější představitele této ekonomické disciplíny patří J. K. Arrow, A. Downs, J. Buchanan, G. Tullock, M. Olson či W. A. Niskanen.

K zřejmě nejznámějším závěrům teorie veřejné volby patří tzv. Arrowův teorém nemožnosti, tzv. teorém středního voliče a teorie existence tzv. politických cyklů.

Arrowův teorém nemožnosti
Tzv. Arrowův teorém nemožnosti přináší zjištění, že neexistuje žádný hlasovací mechanismus založený na většinovém principu, který by zaručoval přijetí efektivního rozhodnutí. Jinými slovy: Neexistuje neutrální způsob hlasování, který by rozhodl o seřazení preferencí voličů (nebo skupin voličů).
Arrowův teorém se obvykle vysvětluje na příkladě vycházejícím z jednoduché tabulky zachycující 3 možné varianty hypotetického rozdělení důchodů 3 jednotlivců - voličů.

Dejme tomu, že napřed se rozhoduje mezi možnostmi a) a b). V tomto případě je volič X pro možnost a), zatímco voliči Y a Z preferují možnost b), neboť ta pro ně znamená vyšší důchod. Možnost b) tedy vyhrává a nastává hlasování mezi možnostmi b) a c). Volič Y je pro možnost b), ale voliči X a Z hlasují pro možnost c), která teď získává většinu.

Dojde-li na hlasování mezi možnostmi a) a c), je volič Z pro možnost c), ale voliči X a Y volí možnost a), která tímto získává většinu. Tímto se vlastně dostáváme tam, kde jsme začali a celý cyklus hlasování může začít znovu. Z uvedeného plyne, že v tomto případě nelze jednoduše stanovit většinové preference a vzniká tak určitý hlasovací paradox. Výsledek by v tomto případě musel být stanoven direktivním (arbitrárním, "diktátorským") rozhodnutím.

Teorém středního voliče
Tzv. teorém středního voliče postuluje, že politické strany budou v zásadě prosazovat politiku reprezentující názory voličů, kteří stojí uprostřed politického nebo společenského spektra. Základem teorému středního voliče je model dvou politických stran, ležících na opačné straně od politického "středu", avšak ve stejné "vzdálenosti" od tohoto "středu" a předpoklad, že všichni voliči budou volit stranu prosazující politický program jim nejbližší. V případě, že stranu "napravo od středu" budou podporovat všichni voliči od středu doprava včetně těch, kteří se
nacházejí "napravo" od jejího programu, může se tato strana "zmocnit" některých hlasů strany "nalevo" od středu (aniž by přitom ztratila hlasy "napravo" od středu) tím, že se posune doleva, tj. do "středu" politického spektra. Obdobným způsobem by mohla strana "nalevo" od politického "středu" přetáhnout některé hlasy strany "napravo" od středu tím, že by se taktéž posunula do "středu" politického spektra, tj. v jejím případě "doprava". Podniknou-li obě strany výše uvedené, tj. přesunou se programově do politického středu, pak program obou stran skončí co nejblíže
politickému středu. Závěry teorému středního voliče zobecňuje tzv. Directorův zákon, podle něhož rozdělování důchodů vládou směřuje ve prospěch středových voličů, tj. skupin se středním příjmem.

Teorie politických cyklů
Teorie politických (politicko-ekonomických) cyklů předpokládá tzv. předvolební krátkozrakost voličů, tj. neschopnost prohlédnout dlouhodobé důsledky vládních opatření. Chce-li za tohoto předpokladu vládní strana setrvat u moci, pak musí před volbami realizovat "líbivou" fiskální (rozpočtovou) politiku expanzivního charakteru (snižování daní, zvyšování důchodů, vládních výdajů apod.) vedoucí k dočasnému zvýšení "blahobytu" většinového voliče, zatímco realizace nepopulárních, tj. fiskálně-restriktivních (zvyšování daní, snižování důchodů, vládních výdajů apod.) opatření (ve snaze "hasit" inflační tlaky či udržet vyrovnaný rozpočet) nastává ihned po volbách. Před dalšími volbami se vláda začíná opět uchylovat k líbivým opatřením a celý cyklus se opakuje. Celý tento cyklus střídání fiskální expanze a restrikce je možno znázornit i graficky. Někdy se proto hovoří i o existenci tzv. politické Phillipsovy křivky (křivky znázorňující inverzní vztah mezi nezaměstnaností a inflací, populární zejména mezi keynesiánskými ekonomy) - viz graf:

I read that pomegranate seed essential oil was a great oil to add to my daily skin regimen. I was a little scared when I saw some people say it smelled, it was too thick, didn't absorb, too greasy etc.....NOT SO! It goes on great (use it with emu oil) no oiliness, no bad smell I LOVE it! Yes it's very thick, but it smooths in fine. A little goes a long way. 2 drops with 2 drops of emu oil does just fine! I will continue using this brand in my skincare routine! Thank you for making a great product!
I use this on my face. It feels sticky at first but fully absorbs. It eliminates fine lines and skin discolorations.
I highly recommend this product within days my acne and skin improved and my hair is very soft!
uct is wonderful and cost-effective for the size. I would recommend Shiny Leaf, not only for their items but because of their prompt shipping & delivery schedule. Also, for their concern in asking each customer, if they are satisfied with the product. That reassures me that they stand behind their sales.
I've only used this product once since I received it, but so far I'm pretty happy. If you've never used pom oil before, it's pretty thick. I was concerned I'd gotten a wonky batch or something, but a little research said this was normal. I can't wait to add this to other recipes.
This oil is great! Exactly as it should be and soaks into the skin with no residue.
Great antioxidant for any skin type.
I bought this oil to add to my DIY facial oil/serum. I've actually just used it by itself! There is a bit of a scent but it dissipates after awhile. The oil itself is on the thick side but you don't need much to cover your entire face. Even though it is thick, it spreads easily and absorbs quickly, even on my oily skin. I chose this because of its high antioxidant content, skin renewing, and moisturizing abilities. It's a great anti-aging ingredient.
I have been using at night around my eye area and I do like it. I haven't used long-term to be able to see any type of anti-aging results, but my eye area is well moisturized and soft. The bottle states it can be used on hair and nails as well. I have used on my nails, and it absorbs quickly without leaving a residue. If I feel a revised review is needed I will post future results.
Amazing and immediate results using this oil on my very sun damaged hands. Only need one or two drops so this will last a while.
I loved the formula and the results. I've used it on my face, legs, and hair. I have been very satisfied with the results. My hair feels soft and my makeup comes off easily. My skin feels so wonderful afterwards.
I'm loving this pomegranate seed oil! I use this as a carrier oil to my anti-aging essential oil. It doesn't feel greasy but leaves the skin feeling soft and moisturized! I highly recommend this product!
Readily absorb oil with a slightly fruity odor. I use it in facial blends.
It's a good addition to my Oils collection.
Pomegranate Seed Oil 1oz/30ml Review. Shiny Leaf 100% pure virgin unrefined high quality oil. PREMIUM. Rich in Vitamins B,C and minerals. Anti-aging. Anti-bacterial. Natural Antioxidant. USE: For face, body, hair and nails, ideal for skin health. For daily use or when needed. It also provides relief from dry skin, eczema, psoriasis and sunburns! ***Has a pretty strong smell. I am sensitive about smells, the best I can describe it is a earthy type smell. Once it was absorbed, I didn't smell it anymore. Only need to use a small amount. I overused at first application and it felt kind of sticky until it absorbed into my skin. It has a dropper applicator. It's a good addition to my Oils collection.
I've used other pomegranate seed oils on my face in the past, and I enjoy the smoothness it creates. I was getting low, so I ordered this product. While it says it's an oil, it's thicker than an oil. I'd compare it more to a serum, but I've has serums that weren't this thick. The thick, sticky consistency makes it more difficult to rub in, and I can't wear this one under my makeup like I have others because my face is too oily after application. While the oil has a golden color, I haven't had an issue with it turning my face that color. It does moisturize well, but it doesn't do so lightly or airily. My face feels like it has a sort of mask on it until it's absorbed. I'm also not a fan of the scent of this oil. While not overwhelming, it's much more offensive than other oils I've tried. I wish I could say my face and I love this product, but I can't. It does the job I bought it for, I suppose, but not as well as other brands. Will I continue using it? Yes, because I paid for it. Will I purchase it again? Unlikely.
lous oil has done wonders for my hair and skin! I'm a huge fan of essential oils for both aromatherapy and beauty care. I'd never tried pomegranate oil before and I took a chance on this purchase. I'm absolutely thrilled!! Pomegranate has so many benefits as a fruit when ingested, so naturally it's easy to believe that it can be beneficial topically. This oil is very thick, I found it hard to apply topically by itself, so I've been diluting it slightly with either argan or jojoba oil. It has made my hair feel like silk!!I I've been treating myself to a hair mask three times a week by coating my hair with this oil mixture at night and washing it out in the morning and my hair has never looked better! I've also been applying a few drops to my face at night and my facial skin looks brighter and healthier than it has in years. I love using all natural products and this pomegranate oil is the best. Don't waste your money on the department store, expensive brands. This oil is the best!!
y 3rd product with this seller and I am totally impressed. The Pomegranate oil is so pure and effective. Just a couple of drops go a long way. Thank you. Can't wait to see what's next.

\section{Introduction}

\label{sec_intro}

A central task of the theory of quantum phase transitions (QPTs) is to
describe the consequences of this zero temperature singularity on physical
properties at finite temperature since all experiments can only be done at
non-zero temperature \cite{S.Sachdev}. It turns out that the mixed-state
fidelity, which is related to the statistical distance between two density
operators,\ is a powerful way to describe the signatures of QPTs at nonzero
temperature \cite{Sun}.

Recently, there have been intense efforts to establish a $\mathcal{PT}
-symmetric quantum theory as a complex extension of the conventional quantum
mechanics \cite{Bender 98,Bender 99,Dorey 01,Bender
02,A.M43,A.M,A.M36,Jones,AM}, since the discovery that a non-Hermitian
Hamiltonian having simultaneous parity-time ($\mathcal{PT}$) symmetry has a
real spectrum \cite{Bender 98}. Motivated by the pseudo-Hermiticity of
non-hermitian systems, the QPT in a non-Hermitian $\mathcal{PT}$-symmetric
Ising model, which is driven by a complex staggered transverse field, has
been explored based on the exact solution \cite{Li}. It has been shown that
the phase diagram can be characterized by the geometric phase. The phase
boundary can be identified by a divergence of Berry curvature density, which
is defined in the context of biorthogonal bases.

In this paper, we address two questions concerning the quantum criticality
for the non-hermitian Ising model at finite temperature. At first, whether
the QPT driven by complex parameters has residual criticality at finite
temperature. Second, as a metric-based approach, whether the mixed-state
fidelity in the context of biorthogonal bases is available to describe this
criticality. Analytical and numerical results indicate that the phase
boundary at finite temperature can be identified by the mixed-state fidelity.

The paper is organized as follows: In Sec. \ref{sec_model} we present the
exact solution of the non-Hermitian Ising model. In Sec. \ref{sec_fidelity},
the mixed-state fidelity of thermal states is obtained analytically and a
numerical simulation is performed to demonstrate the signatures of QPTs at
finite temperature. Section \ref{sec_summary} contains the conclusion.

criticality at point $\protect\overrightarrow{r}$. } \label{fig1}
\end{figure}

\section{Model and solution}

\label{sec_model}

In the last few years, there have been many studies of the phase diagrams
for various quantum models in the aid of the fidelity \cit
{Zanardi,Vezzani,Chen,Yang,Huan,Alet,Rams} or mixed-state fidelity \cit
{Sun,Vieira,Quan,Sirker}. All the investigations are performed for Hermitian
Hamiltonians, where the probability is preserving in the context of standard
Dirac inner product. It would be interesting to explore the extension of
this metric-based approach to a non-Hermitian Hamiltonian with
pseudo-Hermiticity, where biorthonormal inner product is introduced. We
begin our investigation by introducing a non-Hermitian Ising model, whose
ground state phase diagram has been studied in previous work \cite{Li}. It
has been shown that the Berry phase in the context of biorthonormal inner
product can identify the phase diagram, which sheds some light on the
extension of the metric-based approach to a non-Hermitian system.

The concept is studied exemplarily for criticality in a non-Hermitian
one-dimensional spin-$1/2$ Ising model with a complex staggered\ transverse
magnetic field on a $2N$-site lattice. The system is modeled by the
following Hamiltonia
\begin{equation}
\mathcal{H}\text{ }=-J\underset{j=1}{\overset{2N}{\sum }}\left( \sigma
_{j}^{z}\sigma _{j+1}^{z}+g_{_{j}}\sigma _{j}^{x}\right) ,  \label{H_general}
\end{equation
where complex field $g_{_{j}}=\eta +i\left( -1\right) ^{j}\xi $\ ($i=\sqrt{-
}$) with $\eta $ and $\xi $\ being real numbers. Here $\sigma _{j}^{\lambda
} $ ($\lambda =x,$ $z$) are the Pauli operators on site $j$, and satisfy the
periodic boundary condition $\sigma _{j}^{\lambda }\equiv \sigma
_{j+2N}^{\lambda }$. In ground state this model exhibits quantum critical
points at $\eta ^{2}+\xi ^{2}=1$ and $\eta =0$\ for $\eta ^{2}+\xi ^{2}>1$,
separating paramagnetic and ferromagnetic phases \cite{Li}.

Following the derivation in Appendix, all the eigenstates of $\mathcal{H}$\
can be constructed as the form
\begin{equation}
\left\vert \Psi \right\rangle =\prod_{k\in \left[ 0,\pi \right] }\overline
\left\vert n\right\rangle }_{k},
\end{equation
with eigen energy
\begin{equation}
E=\sum_{\left\{ \overline{\left\vert n\right\rangle }_{k}\right\} }\epsilon
^{n}\left( k\right) .
\end{equation
Here $\overline{\left\vert n\right\rangle }_{k}$ $\left( n\in \left[ 1,1
\right] \right) $\ denotes the $16$-dimensional qudit ($16$-level system)
state, which is expressed explicitly as

\begin{eqnarray}

Similarly, we can obtain the eigenstates of $\mathcal{H}^{\dag }$ by the
qudit state $\left\langle n\right\vert _{k}$, which has the form

It is turned out that the complete biorthonormal set can be constructed due

temperature. A more accurate dependence is plotted in Fig.3.}
\label{fig2}
\end{figure*}

At zero-temperature, the phase diagram is obtained in Ref. \cite{Li} and
sketched in Fig.\ref{fig1}. The influence of the imaginary field $i\xi $\ on
the phase transition is obvious: It enhances the action of the real
transverse field $\eta $, shrinking the disorder region, leading to a
circular phase boundary. In the following, we will show that this circle
critical line is still robust at finite temperature.

\section{Mixed-state fidelity}

\label{sec_fidelity}The key point of this paper is that the mixed-state
fidelit
\begin{equation}
F\left( \rho ,\widetilde{\rho }\right) =\mathrm{tr}\sqrt{\widetilde{\rho
^{1/2}\rho \widetilde{\rho }^{1/2}}  \label{F}
\end{equation
can be utilized to characterize the thermal criticality although density
matrices $\rho $ and $\widetilde{\rho }$ are non-Hermitian. The
non-Hermiticity of the matrices arises from the description of two different
thermal states

\begin{eqnarray}
\rho &=&\exp \left( -\beta \mathcal{H}\right) /\mathrm{tr}\exp \left( -\beta
\mathcal{H}\right) , \\
\widetilde{\rho } &=&\exp \left( -\beta \widetilde{\mathcal{H}}\right)
\mathrm{tr}\exp \left( -\beta \widetilde{\mathcal{H}}\right) ,
\end{eqnarray
wher
\begin{equation}
\mathcal{H}=\mathcal{H}\left( \eta ,\xi \right) ,\widetilde{\mathcal{H}}
\mathcal{H}\left( \eta +\delta \eta ,\xi +\delta \eta \right) ,  \label{HH}
\end{equation
are both non-Hermitian operators.

As the consequence of the translational symmetry, $\left[ h_{k},h_{k^{^
\prime }}}\right] =0$, leads t
\begin{equation}
F\left( \rho ,\widetilde{\rho }\right) =\prod_{k}\mathrm{tr}\sqrt{\rho
_{k}^{1/2}\widetilde{\rho }_{k}\rho _{k}^{1/2}},
\end{equation
which can simplify the computation procedure. Studies on Hermitian systems
show that a zero-temperature fidelity vanishes at the quantum boundary. It
is expected that the similar behavior can occur for the present
non-Hermitian model. Actually,\ in the limit case $\beta \rightarrow \infty
, $F\left( \rho ,\widetilde{\rho }\right) $\ is reduced t
\begin{equation}
F_{\infty }\left( \rho ,\widetilde{\rho }\right)
=\prod_{k}O_{k}=\prod_{k}\left\vert \widetilde{\left\langle 1\right\vert
_{k}\overline{\left\vert 1\right\rangle }_{k}\right\vert ,
\end{equation
by using the completeness condition in Eq. (\ref{bio}). Here states\textbf{\
}$\widetilde{\left\langle 1\right\vert }_{k}$\textbf{\ }and $\overline
\left\vert 1\right\rangle }_{k}$\textbf{\ }ar
\begin{equation}
\widetilde{\left\langle 1\right\vert }_{k}=\left\langle 1\left(
\overrightarrow{r}+\Delta \overrightarrow{r}\right) \right\vert _{k}
\overline{\left\vert 1\right\rangle }_{k}=\overline{\left\vert 1\left(
\overrightarrow{r}-\Delta \overrightarrow{r}\right) \right\rangle }_{k},
\end{equation
where $\overrightarrow{r}$\ denotes a vector in the $\xi \eta $\ plane (see
Fig.\ref{fig1}). In the following,\textbf{\ }we consider a simple case with
\overrightarrow{r}=$ $\left( \cos \varphi ,\sin \varphi \right) $\ and
\Delta \overrightarrow{r}=$ $\left( \Delta r\cos \varphi ,\Delta r\sin
\varphi \right) $.\ Correspondingly, states\textbf{\ }$\widetilde
\left\langle 1\right\vert }_{k}$\textbf{\ }and\textbf{\ }$\overline
\left\vert 1\right\rangle }_{k}$\textbf{\ }can be expressed in a polar
coordinate system\textbf{\ }$(r,\varphi )
\begin{equation}
\widetilde{\left\langle 1\right\vert }_{k}=\left\langle 1\left( 1+\Delta
r,\varphi \right) \right\vert _{k},\overline{\left\vert 1\right\rangle }_{k}
\overline{\left\vert 1\left( 1-\Delta r,\varphi \right) \right\rangle }_{k}.
\end{equation
We note that any vanishing overlaps $\widetilde{\left\langle 1\right\vert
_{k}\overline{\left\vert 1\right\rangle }_{k}$\ can result in the zero point
of fidelity $F_{\infty }\left( \rho ,\widetilde{\rho }\right) $. In the
thermodynamic limit $N\rightarrow \infty $, $k$\ becomes a continuous
variable. This ensures us to estimate the overlap $\lim_{k\rightarrow 0
\widetilde{\left\langle 1\right\vert }_{k}\overline{\left\vert
1\right\rangle }_{k}$. Direct derivation shows tha
\begin{eqnarray}
&&\lim_{k\rightarrow 0}\overline{\left\vert 1\left( r,\varphi \right)
\right\rangle }_{k}=\frac{1}{\gamma +\gamma ^{\ast }}(\alpha _{k}^{\dagger
}\beta _{-k}^{\dagger }-\beta _{k}^{\dagger }\alpha _{-k}^{\dagger }  \notag
\\
&&+\gamma ^{\ast }\alpha _{k}^{\dagger }\alpha _{-k}^{\dagger }+\gamma \beta
_{k}^{\dagger }\beta _{-k}^{\dagger })\left\vert 0\right\rangle \text{,
\left( r<1\right) ,
\end{eqnarray
an
\begin{equation}
\lim_{k\rightarrow 0}\widetilde{\left\langle 1\left( r,\varphi \right)
\right\vert }_{k}=\left\langle 0\right\vert i\text{, }\left( r>1\right) ,
\end{equation
where $\varphi \in \left[ 0,\frac{\pi }{2}\right) \cup \left( \frac{3\pi }{2
,2\pi \right] $, and $\gamma =\sqrt{1-r^{2}\sin \varphi }+ir\sin \varphi $.
Meanwhile we have

\begin{eqnarray}
&&\lim_{k\rightarrow 0}\overline{\left\vert 1\left( r,\varphi \right)
\right\rangle }_{k}=\frac{1}{\gamma +\gamma ^{\ast }}(\alpha _{k}^{\dagger
}\beta _{-k}^{\dagger }-\beta _{k}^{\dagger }\alpha _{-k}^{\dagger }  \notag
\\
&&+\gamma ^{\ast }\alpha _{k}^{\dagger }\alpha _{-k}^{\dagger }+\gamma \beta
_{k}^{\dagger }\beta _{-k}^{\dagger })\left\vert 0\right\rangle \text{,
\left( r<1\right) ,
\end{eqnarray
an
\begin{equation}
\lim_{k\rightarrow 0}\widetilde{\left\langle 1\left( r,\varphi \right)
\right\vert }_{k}=\left\langle 0\right\vert i\alpha _{k}\beta _{k}\alpha
_{-k}\beta _{-k}\text{, }\left( r>1\right) ,
\end{equation
where $\varphi \in \left( \frac{\pi }{2},\frac{3\pi }{2}\right) $. These
lead to the conclusion that

\begin{equation}
\lim_{k\rightarrow 0}\left\langle 1\left( 1+\Delta r,\varphi \right)
\right\vert _{k}\overline{\left\vert 1\left( 1-\Delta r,\varphi \right)
\right\rangle }_{k}=0,
\end{equation
for $\Delta r>0$\ and $\varphi \neq \frac{\pi }{2},\frac{3\pi }{2}$. The
essence of the results is the nonanalytical behavior of states\textbf{\ }
\lim_{k\rightarrow 0}\widetilde{\left\langle 1\right\vert }_{k}$\textbf{\
and\textbf{\ }$\lim_{k\rightarrow 0}\overline{\left\vert 1\right\rangle
_{k} $\textbf{\ }at the critical points. This indicates that the fidelity
approach for QPT can be extended into the complex regime at zero temperature.

However, the overlap in both points\ $\varphi _{0}=\frac{\pi }{2}$ and
\frac{3\pi }{2}$ can be calculated analytically a
\begin{eqnarray}
&&\lim_{k\rightarrow 0}\left\vert \left\langle 1\left( 1+\Delta r,\varphi
_{0}\right) \right\vert _{k}\overline{\left\vert 1\left( 1-\Delta r,\varphi
_{0}\right) \right\rangle }_{k}\right\vert   \notag \\
&=&\frac{\Delta r}{\left( 1+\Delta r\right) \sqrt{2\Delta r-\left( \Delta
r\right) ^{2}}},
\end{eqnarray
for $\Delta r>0$,\ which is reduced to $\sqrt{\Delta r/2}$\ for $\Delta r\ll
1$.\ In this sense, points $\left( 1,\varphi _{0}\right) $\ are a little
special compared to other points on the circle. This may be due to the fact
that points $\left( 1,\varphi _{0}\right) $\ are three-phase points. In this
paper, we focus on the critical points on the circle except these two points.

For finite temperature, numerical simulations are performed for different
\beta $. We plot $F$\ as a function of $\left( \xi ,\eta \right) $\ in Fig
\ref{fig2} and Fig.\ref{fig3}. We see that $F$\ is almost a constant and
equals to unity for a wide range of $\left( \xi ,\eta \right) $, apart from
the very narrow area around the circle $\eta ^{2}+\xi ^{2}=1$, where
drastically drops to zero as shown in Fig.\ref{fig3}. For larger $\beta $,
we can see that the dip of $F$\ well indicates the critical point of the
non-Hermitian Ising model for different values of $\xi $. We also study the
temperature dependence of the fidelity for different critical fields, which
is labeled\ by $\varphi $. In Fig. \ref{fig4} we plot $F$\ as functions of
temperature for several typical values of $\varphi $ and $N=10^{4}$. We fit
the data with the function
\begin{equation}
\ln F=\Gamma \beta +\ln A,  \label{scaling1}
\end{equation
which indicates the fidelity decays exponentially with decay constant
\Gamma $\ and the pre-exponential factor $A$. Here $\Gamma $\ and $A$\ are
functions of $\varphi $\ as the for
\begin{eqnarray}
\Gamma  &=&\left[ -1.1+1.5\cos \left( 2\varphi \right) \right] \times 10^{5},
\notag \\
\ln A &=&\left[ -7.1+9.5\cos 2\varphi -2.4\cos \left( 4\varphi \right)
\right] \times 10^{11}.  \label{scaling2}
\end{eqnarray
Based on above analytical and numerical results, we conclude that the
metric-based approach established for Hermitian systems can be applicable to
the non-Hermitian Ising model.

sharp, leading to boundary broadening of QPT.}

\section{Summary and discussion}

\label{sec_summary}

In summary, we have shown that the QPT in a non-Hermitian Ising model has
residual criticality at finite temperature, which can be described by the
mixed-state fidelity in the context of biorthogonal bases. The successful
extension of mixed-state fidelity to complex regime may be ascribed to the
following two facts: At first, we happen to have an exact solvable
non-Hermitian model, whose ground state is divided into several regions, or
phases in the a complex-parameter plane. So far, this model is unique, while
the QPT in most discovered non-Hermitian models is referred as the
exceptional point. Secondly, the biorthogonal complete set is employed to
formulate the density matrix of a thermal state. In this situation, we
cannot give a general conclusion for other non-Hermitian systems, which
should be investigated in the future.

Our study shows that quantum criticality in such a non-Hermitian system
appears remarkably\ even at finite temperature. This paves the way for
experimental detection of quantum criticality in complex-parameter plane. In
experiment, there are several ways to realize the Hermitian Ising model,
such as using trapped ions \cite{K,Porras,Wang,Gong}, an array of cavities
\cite{Joshi,Bardyn}, atoms within a cavity \cite{Parkins}, and Rydberg atoms
in an optical lattice \cite{Tony1,K1,Bason,Dudin}. Recently, it was pointed
that \cite{Tony2}, an imaginary transverse field may be implemented by
optically pumping a qubit state into the auxiliary state.

She probably wasn't expecting to see the Great Orange Bloat turn up on her doorstep and Her Majesty is going out of her way to let everyone know it's not her doing.
Britain's cadaverous prime minister, Theresa May, went ahead an invited Donald Trump to an all-out state visit. That means Trump gets to be greeted by the Queen and gets an all-expenses paid stay in Buckingham Palace.
Buckingham Palace intervened in the row over President Donald Trump's forthcoming state visit by asking the British government to make clear that the invitation had come from the Prime Minister, it was claimed Monday night.
...The Palace became concerned that the public would wrongly get the impression that invitations for state visits were the gift of the Queen, after May's spokesman appeared to distance the prime minister from the decision to invite Trump.
...During a state visit, it is the queen who acts as personal hostess. In most cases, that involves lavish pomp and ceremony and a stay of several days at Queen Elizabeth's official residence, Buckingham Palace.
Sources with knowledge of the conversations said the Palace raised concerns and Number 10 subsequently issued a clarification making clear the Prime Minister was "very happy" Trump had agreed to come to the U.K.
Charles weighs in.
At a time his mother finds herself at the centre of the state visit dispute, Prince Charles said he fears the lessons of World War II have been forgotten.
"The work of World Jewish Relief enables us to rally together, to do what we can to support people practically, emotionally and spiritually," the prince said in speech at a Jewish charity's dinner on Monday night. "Particularly at a time when the horrific lessons of the last war seem to be in increasing danger of being forgotten."
The Sunday Times reported that if the visit went ahead, Charles planned to confront Trump over global warming.
The Lord Mayor - No Fan.
London Mayor Sadiq Khan, the first Muslim elected to that post, has called for the invitation to be rescinded. His office said he will call Trump's travel ban "cruel, prejudiced and counterproductive" at a City Hall diplomatic reception Tuesday.
Could Trump be Snubbed by the Mother of All Parliaments?
Labour and Tory MPs moved to bar Trump from addressing Parliament when he comes to the United Kingdom. Sarah Wollaston, a Conservative MP, said the privilege should be "reserved for leaders who have made an outstanding positive difference in the world."
Looks like Trump's ego could be in for another bruising. America's narcissist in chief floats on a sea of personal insecurities and this could be shaping up to be an extremely rough ride.
Anyong....the BBC reported last night that May is in support of the British protesters since her arrival back in the U.K against Trump visiting the UK.. BBC also discussed May's Moral mind. The President doesn't visit the Queen till at least three or four years into the Presidency perhaps by that time, Trump will be Trumpeted out.
All I can ask is, "Hasn't the Queen done enough service throughout her long life?" Surely the ignominy of a Trump visit should not mar her final years.
Trump possibly thinks the Queen is married to Nigel Farage and is eager to visit Buck House.

CALGARY - Suncor Energy Inc. is blaming a net loss in the last three months of 2018 primarily on steep price discounts for western Canadian oil, including the upgraded synthetic crude it produces at its oilsands mining operations.
The Calgary-based producer says it had a net loss of $280 million or 18 cents per share in the fourth quarter of 2018, compared to a net profit of $1.38 billion or 84 cents in the same period of 2017.
It says its net loss was inflated by accounting for inventory valuations and includes a $637-million non-cash foreign exchange loss on U.S. dollar denominated debt, as well as a non-cash impairment loss on one of the company's equity investments.
Its operating earnings were $580 million or 36 cents per share, versus $1.31 billion or 79 cents in the year-earlier period, well below analyst expectations of $724 million, according to Thomson Reuters Eikon.
The company announced a 17 per cent increase in its quarterly dividend to 42 cents per share.
Suncor reported last month it had record fourth quarter upstream production of 831,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day, up 12 per cent from the third quarter.
"Suncor generated funds from operations of $2 billion in the fourth quarter as our integrated downstream business and market access helped to mitigate upstream crude price volatility, including the further widening of the differentials for Canadian crude," said CEO Steve Williams in a statement.
The increase in the difference between benchmark New York-traded oil and western Canadian crude late last year has been blamed on a lack of pipeline access to export markets.
