Q: Transformar texto em negrito com php Boa Noite, estou com um grande problema, é o seguinte, eu estou com um formulário de textarea para enviar textos ao banco de dados, e o que eu quero fazer é pegar um trecho ou uma palavra que está contido entre determinados caracteres e modificá-los para uma tag... Para esclarecer é Assim:
Vamos supor q quero pegar o texto que está dentro de dois traços(-): Esse é um -Texto- de Exemplo... E o resultado que quero é, sempre que o usuário colocar uma palavra ou um trecho do texto ente esses dois traços(-), quero trocá-los para:: Esse é um Texto de Exemplo.
Eu tentei com str_replace, mas não consegui o resultado desejado.
$text = $_POST['publicacaoText'];
$publicacaoStrip = str_replace("/*", "", $text);
$publicacaoStrip = str_replace("*/", "</b", $publicacaoStrip);

Assim até dá certo, maaas tipo, se eu colocar duas vezes seguidas assim:: /Breno/ /Castro/... Ele faz o que eu quero, Mas Não adiciona o Espalo entre as duas palavras, ou seja, queria fazer o sistema de negrito e itálico que nem o WhatsApp -Breno- +Castro+, e percebi que aqui no stackoverflow também tem o mesmo sistema. Por Favor se alguém puder me ajudaaar, agradeçooo demaais velho.
Aviso também que já tentei assim:
$publicacaoStrip = str_replace("-$text-", "$text", $publicacaoStrip);

OU
$publicacaoStrip = str_replace("-".$text."-", "$text", $publicacaoStrip);

E obviamente não deu certo kkkkk Foi até idiotice ter testado assim, mas fiz pra ter certeza kkkkkk
Por favor pessoal, me ajudeem, tô precisando bastanteee mesmo
Se alguém souber como fazer isso também com JQuery também, mas preferencial é com PHP por favor

A: // Texto em questão.
$publicacaoStrip = 'teste -teste- arr-o-z';

// Expressão regular para negrito.
$reNegrito = '/-([^-]+?)-/';

// Expressão regular para itálico.
$reItalico = '/\*([^\*]+?)\*/';

// Sintaxe de substituição de expressão regular, para negrito.
$replacementNegrito = '$1';

// Sintaxe de substituição de expressão regular, para itálico.
$replacementItalico = '$1';

// Opera a substituição das ocorrências da(s) expressão(ões) regular(es) pelo seu substituto.
$publicacaoStrip = preg_replace(array($reNegrito, $reItalico),
    array($replacementNegrito, $replacementItalico),
    $publicacaoStrip);

// Ecoa e termina a execução do php.
die($publicacaoStrip);

A: Galera muitooooo Obrigadooo pela atenção, e agradeço mt ao @Marcelo_Uchimura, mt obrigado msm cara, me ajudoou muitoo, eu tava com mt duvida pq Nn entendo bem sobre a função preg_replace, aproveitando, se alguém puder me explicar mais sobre essa função ou algum artigo bem explicativo sobre ela e puder me indicar, pfv, agradeço mt, e é isso mesmo, obrigado pela ajuda mesmo, e consegui fazer oq eu pretendia
$text = $_POST['publicacaoText'];
    $publicacaoStrip = strip_tags($text);

    // Expressão regular.
    $re = array('/\*([^*]+)\*/', '/-([^-]+?)-/');

    // Sintaxe de substituição de expressão regular.
    $replacement = array('$1', '$1');

    // Opera a substituição das ocorrências da expressão regular pelo seu substituto.
    $publicacaoStrip = preg_replace($re, $replacement, $publicacaoStrip);
    }

A: Se quer por apenas o espaço entre elas acho que isso resolve:
$text = $_POST['publicacaoText'];
// aqui ele quebrará $text toda vez que achar */
$palavras = explode("*/", $text);
// aqui contará as celulas de $palavras
$nP = count($palavras);
// para verificar se houve o post de uma palavra composta ex: /*Breno*/ /*Castro*/, se for apenas uma palavra ele fará essa substituição apenas para uma..
if(isset($palavras[1])){
   //caso a célula 1 for inicializada e não for vazia, esse for trocará toda /* por  e */ por , sempre irá colocar no mesmo lugar da onde ele pegou a palavra.
   for($i = 0; $i < $nP; $i++){
      $palavras[$i] = str_replace("/*", "", $palavras[$i]);
      $palavras[$i] = str_replace("*/", "</b", $palavras[$i]);
   }
} else {
  $palavra = str_replace("/*", "", $palavras[0]);
  $palavra = str_replace("*/", "</b", $palavra);
}

Daí o espaço você coloca quando for dar um echo nas palavras, isso é uma solução bem fraquinha, pra um caso urgente como o seu, acredito que dá pra simplificar e melhorar mais esse código que fiz.

A recent Instagram post from Jill Duggar's husband, Derick Dillard, has the internet abuzz.
According to Redditor "uniqueusername826729," the post in question was a video which featured some people dancing to the risque hit song "Despacito."
The video was apparently taken during an event involving the Cross Church College, better known as C3. The people dancing in the video appeared to be young men and women.
The video has since been taken down, but not before folks who were able to view it pointed to how the dancing and the song choice seemed to be inappropriate for the setting.
As The Inquisitr reported, Dillard has apparently taken on a role within C3, which could explain why he was present at the event.
Some people have also speculated that Dillard may not have known what the lyrics of the aforementioned song actually meant.
For now, Dillard has yet to comment on the video or the reactions it has received from many people online.
This is not the first time that an Instagram post from Dillard has managed to draw plenty of criticism, though.
Previously, Dillard also shared a video that featured him and some friends having fun at a dance party, Celebrity Insider reported.
Given the Duggars' views on dancing, the post from Dillard led to some people criticizing him for being disingenuous.
Notably, not everyone has been critical of Dillard recently as there are still some fans of his coming to his defense as these issues have popped up.
Dillard's wife Jill has also yet to comment on these new issues concerning her husband and she has also managed to escape the criticism thus far.
It is clear that many people online are interested in the latest happenings involving Jill and Derick, and more news about them should be made available in the near future.

There is something special about Light Up Coffee in Kichijoji. It could be the energy of town—with its shopping streets, popular park full of picnicking youth, and lively station— is spilling over. It could be the electric blue and white color scheme of the cafe. It could be the contagious passion of the two cafe owners, Aihara and Kawano—both of whom are in their early 20s—they live and breath coffee. It's probably a bit of all of these things.
The coffee here is also special, and lives up to the Light Up name. Brewed coffees, prepared via Kalita Wave, are quietly bright and juicy. Their flavors are subtle, coyly waiting for the drinker to pick them out. It's a brew that should be sipped slowly and contemplated, much like a good glass of wine. The espresso is creamy and rich, with flavors of lemon and amaretto. There is a tart and lingering cranberry aftertaste. It's an espresso that is great straight or with milk. The quality of the coffee here is impressive, since they are roasting on a small one kilogram Fuji Royal—A roaster small enough to be considered a sample roaster by some in the industry.
Light Up Coffee opened on July 31st, 2014 in the fashionable town of Kichijoji. The two owners met a few years before while working part time at a chain coffeeshop. Back then neither of them actually liked coffee all that much, But they did like latte art. They put in countless hours, both during and after work, honing their latte skills in an obsessive way. Soon they began to search out other coffee shops, to see what other baristas where pouring. As they visited more and more cafes a funny thing happened, they started to like coffee.
When cafes serving lighter roast coffee—like Fuglen and Onibus Coffee—opened they were completely blown away by how sweet and juicy coffee could taste. This inspired an international coffee voyage, bringing them to places such as Rome, Coppenhagen, London, Stolkholm, and Paris. They met with other baristas, talked coffee, and tried every quality cafe they could find. By the end of their trip they came to the conclusion that the overall quality of coffee in Japan was lacking, and they wanted to do what they could to improve it. So, Light Up Coffee was born.
Opening Light Up Coffee in Kichijoji was a risky move. The rent is high in this popular town, so it's common for a business to close-up shop before really getting started. It was a calculated risk for Aihara and Kawano. They noted the lack of coffee roasters in the area and aimed to fill that void. A high traffic, fashionable area would mean they could influence the coffee habits of more people, so they put all their chips on the table. Fortunately their gamble seem to have paid off. Light Up has a steady flow of customers, and they are making a name for themselves.
Rather than just serve specialty coffee, the staff at Light Up is working hard to popularize it. They hold several workshops a month—ranging from cupping seminars to brewing method workshops—and they are always full. The idea behind these classes is to teach the community that quality coffee is something you can enjoy at home as well. They've also hosted coffee festivals with great success. When asked about the future of Light Up Coffee, the owner duo don't talk about things from a business perspective; they talk about ways to spread the appreciation of coffee further throughout Japan.
Both Aihara and Kawano seem content to talk about coffee for hours. The excitement they share over the growing specialty coffee scene in Tokyo is contagious. While sipping on an espresso and having an animated conversation with the two, I'm pulled into their world; a world where better coffee makes a better life. It's refreshing optimism. I'd recommend, if you have the chance, that you visit Light Up Coffee and step into a brighter world.

Historic Approach Of Non-Profit Work
December 15, 2020 Time
When one wishes to put his charitable giving to good use, the most likely target would be one of a number of non-profits, organizations whose purpose is not to make money, though they certainly might, but to support a cause. Groups who operate in the not for profit arena generally have other goals, usually charitable or altruistic, as Shalom Lamm is. Employees of such an organization may be and often are paid, but any profits generated by the business do not enrich the owners but go back into the group to further whatever cause the group espouses. Today this seems obvious, so it might seem as though such non-profit groups have always been around, but the concept is actually a recent one.
Prior to the twentieth century, most charitable organizations were associated with churches or religious orders. London, Rome, Paris – these and other European cities all had hospitals run by large churches, especially the Catholic Church, in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. In the middle and late 1800s both the YMCA and the Red Cross were organized. Neither was primarily created to turn a profit, and both depended on selfless giving and volunteers.
Philanthropy was not invented in the United States, but the country's expansive capitalism and wealth shaped the concept. The Rockefellers, the Carnegies and other big money names arose in the nineteenth century. These family dynasties made millions for their founders, who often endowed eponymous foundations. Indeed, PBS, the Public Broadcasting System, even today depends on grants from some of these old money foundations like Carnegie, Ford, and others.
During both World Wars, Americans were asked to donate time, effort and money to causes dedicated to either fighting the war or supporting those who did. The Red Cross especially grew its fund raising activities, and so did the Salvation Army and other not for profit groups.
However, it was not until the Tax Reform Act, signed into law by President Richard Nixon in 1969, that the rise in non-profits really began. That law granted some tax advantages both to organizations and more importantly to those who donated to them. Further laws passed since the Nixon administration have expanded, and occasionally reduced, tax benefits of giving money to corporations, companies, clubs and other organized entities of a charitable bent. There are millions of charities in existence today, and some are more worthy of the name than others.
Charitable and public-spirited organizations have always existed, but it was not until the formal structure of Federal tax law that there were tangible advantages to organizing such structures. Needless to say, some are more worthy than others, so there has lately been a corresponding rise in ratings agencies or groups to help potential benefactors decide whether to donate and to whom. Consumer Reports and Charity Watch are among the most popular of the services who rate non-profits, grading them on how they use the funds they raise. Thus, the non-profit sector is now firmly a part of American popular culture. Shalom Lamm, a non-profit CEO believes in helping people from all walks of life and leading from the heart.

Residents should be guaranteed priority in the use - either through purchase or lease - of car parking spaces in private residential developments.
This is the main thrust of a package of recommendations put forward by the Consumer Council in a report to the Government and the Real Estate Developers Association.
In the report, the Council has observed that it is clear, from the Land Grants and similar documents, that the Government's objective is to give priority in the use of car parking spaces to residents.
This clearly demonstrates that residence and the right to occupy parking spaces are linked. But, in actual practice, this is not always put into effect.
The Consumer Council today unveiled details of the package in the face of recurring consumer dissatisfaction over the sale and leasing of car parking spaces in residential developments.
The problem stems primarily from an imbalance of supply in some private residential developments where the ratio of number of flats per car parking space is set from 4:1 to 7:1.
According to a Transport Department's Parking Demand Study in 1995, there was an overall demand for 264,699 spaces and a supply of only 239,000. But the overall shortfall of 10% masks the fact that in some districts the deficit is much more severe.
The situation has led to problems of, among others, hefty increases in the purchase price of carpark spaces and steep increases in monthly parking charges . It is further aggravated by the sale or leasing of the limited carpark spaces to non-residents and possibly speculation in the market.
Since 1994, the Consumer Council has received 162 complaints over the problem of car parking involving 43 private residential developments.
The attention of the Council was first drawn to the problem in 1994 when residents of 16 developments complained about steep increases in monthly charges of an average of 33% and, in one case, a high 57%.
The Council has, subsequently, discussed and put forward a series of recommendations to the Government and other interested parties. Some of these recommendations have been acted on by the Government.
These include revising the existing fixed parking rate to a range so that any shortfall in an area could be dealt with flexibly by applying an appropriate standard within the range, and requiring developers of Consent Scheme developments to make clear in their sales brochures the number of car parking spaces available for sale or rent.
Developers now give only the total number of car parking spaces in the sales brochures but need not specify their intention as to whether the carparks are for sale or rent.
In the light of recent consumer complaints, the Council has made further study and has come to the conclusion that a holistic view needs to be taken in order to address the consumer concerns.
An informed discussion on this important issue has become crucial particularly with growing affluence and the increasing affordability of cars, and development of large-scale housing projects in the coming years.
In its examination of the issue, the Council has identified 6 factors that have contributed significantly to the car parking problem :
growth of private car ownership;
restraints on the provision of private car parking spaces;
lack of statutory rent and tenure protection;
disposal of car parking spaces to non-residents;
lack of enforcement of conditions on use;
and limited disclosure of information
Improvement in the terms of land grant:
The Lands Department already requires in Land Grants that only vehicles belonging to residents or occupiers or their visitors may use the car parking spaces. But, as past experience shows, concentration only on the right to occupy is not sufficient. The Government should take a further step and spell out in future Land Grants in any residential development that
only the owners of undivided shares who have the right to exclusive occupation of residential flats may buy parking spaces which are intended for the use of residents of the developments;
only owners and/or residents may rent such parking spaces if they are not for sale; and
developers might apply to the Lands Department for permission to sell such car parking spaces to non-residents only when the developers could prove to the satisfaction of the authority that the supplies of such spaces are genuinely excessive.
The Grant should require that these conditions be brought to the attention of prospective purchasers of flats and car parking spaces.
Introducing statutory rent and tenure protection
At present the provisions of the Landlord and Tenant (Consolidation) Ordinance apply to car parking spaces let as a package with a residential unit but not when they are let separately. Certain provisions relating to 'domestic premises' and 'domestic tenancy' under the Ordinance should be amended to provide some forms of statutory protection e.g. notice period, first right to purchase, in respect of private car parking spaces for residents' use in domestic buildings, whether use is granted through tenancy agreements, contractual licences or any other arrangement of a similar nature. The extended legal protection will effectively address the lack of security of tenure and rent protection for those who rent parking spaces separately in existing developments.
Empowering Management or Incorporated Owners to enforce conditions on the use of the parking spaces
In order to overcome the practical barriers that exist at the moment in respect of the enforcement of conditions on the use of car parking spaces
the DMC of all new developments should include provisions relating to the conditions on the use of car parking spaces and enabling the manager or Incorporated Owners to take action in the case of breach; and
the Building Management Ordinance should be amended to put beyond doubt the ability of Incorporated Owners to enforce the conditions of use of parking spaces.
Disclosure in respect of disposal of car parking spaces
A requirement for disclosure of the number of spaces to be sold and to be rented should be included in Land Grants, Building Covenants and Pre-sale Consent Conditions. Such disclosure requirements should include details of carpark spaces including information on size, location and price.
For spaces in uncompleted developments, in line with Lands Department's requirement for pre-sale of units under Consent Schemes, information on size and location of the parking spaces available for sale should be published 7 days ahead of the date of sale and information on price 3 days ahead when spaces are pre-sold.
A longer period of notice should be given when a decision is taken to sell spaces that were previously rented out, to avoid the need for residents, who may not have been considering the purchase of a parking space, to make an important decision under pressure.
Creation of a code of practice for developers to include car parking spaces:
Developers should endeavour to provide accurate information to consumers and to adopt a code of best practice. The Consumer Council considers it desirable for the Real Estate Developers Association of Hong Kong to devise such a code in respect of sales of residential property which should extend to the sale and management of car parking spaces.
These recommendations are made to set out the important principles that should be reflected when changes in legislation and contracts are made. The precise detail of the changes is best addressed in the light of subsequent discussion.
In addition, the Council suggests that the Government should look at the feasibility and the acceptability to both public and developers of having car parks held in trust by management or Incorporated Owners for the benefit of all residents.


Chemical mechanical planarization (CMP) is a critical process technology step in the semiconductor wafer fabrication process. In this process step, the top surface of the wafer is polished or planarized to create a flat surface.
The CMP tool is comprised a rotating platen, slurry, pad, holding ring, brush, and pad conditioner. The mechanical element of this system applies downward pressure to a wafer surface, while the chemical reaction increases the material removal rate. The value chain of the CMP market consists of different players, including semiconductor material suppliers, CMP integrated solution providers, semiconductor wafer suppliers, semiconductor device manufacturers, slurry & pad manufacturers, technology solution providers, and CMP equipment manufacturers.
While CMP is still used for its traditional polishing applications for interlayer dielectrics, it's also finding employment in more advanced applications, such as bulk oxide polishing, shallow trench isolation, "stop on poly" isolation, and polishing of various dielectrics in advanced transistor designs.
According to a recent market research report published by MarketsandMarkets, the global CMP market is expected to reach $4.94 Billion by 2020, at an estimated CAGR of 6.83% from 2015 to 2020.
Though the CMP market is at the mature stage, it still continues to evolve depending on the end users. The industry is being forced to adopt much innovation in process technologies and applications; as a result, different CMP processes have been evolved with technology nodes and newer applications such as MEMS, advanced packaging, and advanced substrates.
Applied Materials, Inc. (U.S.) and Ebara Corporation (Japan) are the major CMP equipment suppliers. Phoenix-based Entrepix offers unique CMP foundry services.
CMP includes consumable products, polishing pads and slurries. This CMP consumables market is dominated by major market players such as Cabot Microelectronics Corporation (U.S.), Fujimi Incorporated (Japan), and Dow Electronic Materials (U.S.).
Success in CMP lies in optimizing the many process variables. In addition to wafer variables such as film type and pattern density, CMP variables include: time, pressure (force applied to the wafer and pad), velocity, temperature, slurry feed rate, polishing motion, slurry chemistry and pH potential, slurry particle size, pad elasticity, pad hardness and pad condition method. An optimized CMP process also depends on removal rates of the film being planarized, adhesion stability of the film, minimal defects such as scratchs or pits, minimal corrosion (in the case of Cu), and the adhesion of organic or inorganic surface residues formed during the CMP process.
With alternate channel materials on the horizon for future logic transistor, III-V materials such as gallium-arsenide (GaAs), gallium-indium-phosphide (GaInP), and indium-phosphide (InP) are now in R&D which leads to questions regarding direct process costs as well as indirect EHS costs. Much of the concern involves the possible reaction and release of toxic hydrides such as arsine, and phosphine. SEMATECH worked with imec to monitor hydrides produced during CMP processes for high-mobility compound semiconductors.


Diversity Visa | CHACKO LAW FIRM: Law Office of Mathew M. Chacko, P.C.
Section 203(c) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) provides for a class of immigrants known as "Diversity Immigrants," from countries with historically low rates of immigration to the United States. The program creates an internet-based "Lottery" and randomly selects individuals from a pool of eligible entrants and qualifies them to apply for immigrant visas. The Diversity Visas or DVs are distributed among six geographic regions and no single country may receive more than seven percent of the available DVs in any one year. DV program makes available up to 50,000 diversity visas annually, drawn from random selection among all entries to persons who meet strict eligibility requirements from countries with low rates of immigration to the United States. The Department of State conducts annually an online registration for a limited period and applicants who get selected are eligible to pursue permanent residence either through adjustment of status within U.S.A. or through the immigrant visa processing at the U.S. consulate abroad.
Should have 2 years of experience in the past 5 years in an occupation requiring at least 2 years of training or experience.


Algerie Telecom's cellular division Mobilis has announced the expansion of its 4G LTE mobile network to ten additional provinces (wilayas), expanding its total LTE footprint to over 40 of Algeria's 48 wilayas. The latest 4G rollout entered parts of Ain El Defla, Annaba, Bechar, Bouira, Chlef, El Taref, Jijel, Khenchela, Laghouat and Mostaghanem. To help promote LTE, Mobilis also announced a limited-period promotional mobile broadband package for modem users, with data volume doubled to 100GB at no extra charge. TeleGeography's GlobalComms Database says that Mobilis launched its LTE network services in October 2016, reaching 14 wilayas by Q1 2017 and 31 wilayas by 1Q18, whilst passing four million active LTE subscribers at the start of this year.


Several of my classmates and I went for dinner at a place called "Osteria del Duca" (Osteria of the Duke) and had a wonderful time! One of the women had been there a few weeks ago and the waiter, Christian, remembered her and seated us downstairs in the main dining room. I had a wonderful meal of Pappardelle d'Anatra (pasta with duck ragù/meat sauce). On top of that, the waiter is really cute so the female students at the table had quite a lot to feast their eyes upon!
It seems that this restaurant can have some mixed reviews as an osteria tends to have more traditional items on the menu than a ristorante and that can turn a lot of people off (i.e. horse, donkey, rabbit) and the tourists are usually sent to dine upstairs which isn't as nice.
Afterwards, we went to a very popular bar, "Il Bugiardo" (The Liar), for a few glasses of Valpolicella Classico (a wine from this region and therefore only €2 per glass here in Verona!).
"Il Bugiardo" is normally packed tight and people spill into the street with their drinks, but tonight it was quite, presumably a combination of it being Monday and raining, and we found a nice little spot to tuck into near a window.
Just another evening in Italy!

Q: Stieltjes measure function to Lebesgue Measure? I have started reading Rick Durrett's "Probability: Theory and Examples" Edition 4.1.
There is a section quite at the beginning that I do not understand. it starts OK but then at the last line "When
F
(
x
) =
x
the resulting measure is called
Lebesgue measure"
Does this imply that when the domain and co-domain has the same value the Stieltjes measure function becomes a Lebesgue Measure? What i have understood so far about Lebesgue Measure doesn't include this definition.
Quote:
"Associated with each Stieltjes measure function
F
there is a unique
measure μ on ( $\mathbb{R}$, $\mathcal{R}$)
with

A: Using Durrett's notation, a Stieltjes measure function is a function $F : \mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R}$ that is nondecreasing and right-continuous, whereas $\mu : \mathcal{R} \to \mathbb{R}$ assigns a measure to every Borel subset of $\mathbb{R}$.  Every Stieltjes function $F$ defines a $\mu$.  $F$ doesn't need to be the identity function, but if it is, then the $\mu$ of Theorem 1.1.2 is called Lebesgue measure.

Standard-Model Parameters

The strong coupling

The AlphaStrong class is used to provide a first- or
second-order running <ei>alpha_strong</ei> (or, trivially, a
zeroth-order fixed one). Formulae are the standard ones found in
<ref>Yao06</ref>. The second-order expression used, eq. (9.5),
may be somewhat different in other approaches (with differences
formally of higher order), so do not necessarily expect perfect
agreement, especially not at small <ei>Q^2</ei> scales. The starting
<ei>alpha_strong</ei> value is defined at the <ei>M_Z</ei> mass scale.
The <ei>Lambda</ei> values are matched at the <ei>b</ei> and <ei>c</ei>
flavour thresholds, such that <ei>alpha_strong</ei> is continuous.
For second-order matching an approximate iterative method is used.

Since we allow <ei>alpha_strong</ei> to vary separately for
hard processes, timelike showers, spacelike showers and  multiparton
interactions, the relevant values can be set in each of these classes.
The default behaviour is everywhere first-order running.

The <ei>alpha_strong</ei> calculation is initialized by
init( value, order), where value
is the <ei>alpha_strong</ei> value at <ei>M_Z</ei> and order
is the order of the running, 0, 1 or 2.   Thereafter the value can be
calculated by alphaS(scale2), where
scale2 is the <ei>Q^2</ei> scale in GeV^2.

For applications inside shower programs, a second-order alpha_s
value can be obtained as the product of the two functions
alphaS1Ord(scale2) and alphaS2OrdCorr(scale2),
where the first gives a simple first-order running (but with the
second-order <ei>Lambda</ei>) and the second the correction factor,
below unity, for the second-order terms. This allows a compact handling
of evolution equations.

The electromagnetic coupling

The AlphaEM class is used to generate a running
<ei>alpha_em</ei>. The input StandardModel:alphaEMmZ
value at the <ei>M_Z</ei> mass is matched to a low-energy behaviour
with running starting at the electron mass threshold. The matching
is done by fitting an effective running coefficient in the region
between the light-quark threshold and the charm/tau threshold. This
procedure is approximate, but good enough for our purposes.

Since we allow <ei>alpha_em</ei> to vary separately for
hard processes, timelike showers, spacelike showers and  multiparton
interactions, the choice between using a fixed or a running
<ei>alpha_em</ei> can be made in each of these classes.
The default behaviour is everywhere first-order running.
The actual values assumed at zero momentum transfer and
at <ei>M_Z</ei> are only set here, however.

<parm name="StandardModel:alphaEM0" default="0.00729735"
min="0.0072973" max="0.0072974">
The <ei>alpha_em</ei> value at vanishing momentum transfer
(and also below <ei>m_e</ei>).
</parm>

<parm name="StandardModel:alphaEMmZ" default="0.00781751"
min="0.00780" max="0.00783">
The <ei>alpha_em</ei> value at the <ei>M_Z</ei> mass scale.
Default is taken from <ref>Yao06</ref>.
</parm>

The <ei>alpha_em</ei> calculation is initialized by
init(order), where order is the order of
the running, 0 or 1, with -1 a special option to use the fix value
provided at <ei>M_Z</ei>.   Thereafter the value can be
calculated by alphaEM(scale2), where
scale2 is the <ei>Q^2</ei> scale in GeV^2.

The electroweak couplings

There are two degrees of freedom that can be set, related to the
electroweak mixing angle:

<parm name="StandardModel:sin2thetaW" default="0.2312"
min="0.225" max="0.240">
The sine-squared of the weak mixing angle, as used in all <ei>Z^0</ei>
and <ei>W^+-</ei> masses and couplings, except for the vector couplings
of fermions to the <ei>Z^0</ei>, see below. Default is the MSbar value
from <ref>Yao06</ref>.
</parm>

<parm name="StandardModel:sin2thetaWbar" default="0.2315"
min="0.225" max="0.240">
The sine-squared of the weak mixing angle, as used to derive the vector
couplings of fermions to the <ei>Z^0</ei>, in the relation
<ei>v_f = a_f - 4 e_f sin^2(theta_W)bar</ei>. Default is the
effective-angle value from <ref>Yao06</ref>.
</parm>

The Fermi constant is not much used in the currently coded matrix elements,
since it is redundant, but it is available:

<parm name="StandardModel:GF" default="1.16637e-5"
min="1.0e-5" max="1.3e-5">
The Fermi coupling constant, in units of GeV<ei>^-2</ei>.

The quark weak-mixing matrix

The absolute values of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix elements are
set by the following nine real values taken from <ref>Yao06</ref> -
currently the CP-violating phase is not taken into account in this
parametrization. It is up to the user to pick a consistent unitary
set of new values whenever changes are made.

The CoupSM class

The <aloc href="ProgramFlow">Pythia</aloc> class contains a
public instance coupSM of the CoupSM class.
This class contains one instance each of the AlphaStrong
and AlphaEM classes, and additionally stores the weak couplings
and the quark mixing matrix mentioned above. This class is used especially
in the calculation of cross sections and resonance widths, but could also
be used elsewhere. Specifically, as already mentioned, there are separate
AlphaStrong and AlphaEM instances for timelike
and spacelike showers and for multiparton interactions, while weak couplings
and the quark mixing matrix are only stored here. With the exception of the
first two methods below, which are for internal use, the subsequent ones

The Optimizer® Smart implantation is performed in a minimally-invasive procedure under local anesthesia.
The Optimizer® IPG is placed into a subcutaneous pocket in the right pectoral region. The recommended maximal depth of implant, for proper device interrogation and charging, is 2.5cm. The leads should form a gentle curve and not be under stress/tension. The IPG should be secured to the fascia using a non-absorbable ligature. The pocket is then closed.
Post implantation device interrogation is performed to assure proper device programming and to rule-out lead dislodgement. Thereafter, the patient receives standard post-operative care prior to discharge.

Ghee is delicious, and a fantastic fat to add to your cooking. It's nutty, butterscotch-cy and wonderful, acting as a buttery addition to any of your Whole30 meals.
I like to make my own ghee. In fact, for almost two years of paleo eating and several rounds of Whole30, I have never purchased ghee.
I've searched online how to make it, and have learned over time that ghee is something that you need to put time into and watch if you make it on the stove top. Because ghee can go wrong if left unattended. I know because it happened to me...yuck. So, if you're going to make ghee, set aside 40-45 minutes of your day, and stay near the stove to watch the transformation from melted butter to ghee.
I like to use organic, grass fed butter, but I have used less fancy butters. My favorite is the kind you can buy at Trader Joe's. I also like to get the salted kind.
I have a heavy bottomed sauce pan that I like to use for making ghee. I think that it helps provide an even heat from my gas stove.
Add the butter to the pan. I don't bother cutting it up into small cubes. I add the four sticks whole and put the heat on to slightly above medium. The butter melts pretty quickly. Be sure to watch it at this time, because when the butter melts completely, it will start to develop a white foam on top.
Turn the heat down to medium low at this point!
Melting butter on medium heat!
Frothy butter! Turn heat down to medium low.
Be careful at this stage of ghee making! The butter is melted, and hot! I have had large bubbles pop and spray mini lava-like bubbles on to my stove (and hand...oww!). If you get too many of the large popping bubbles, turn the heat down even lower....and watch!
These large bubbles may send golden lava volcanoes our from your sauce pan. If this happens, lower the heat.
Keep an eye on the melted butter at this stage. You may have read someplace to start to skim the froth out of the pan. I do not do this...I just watch the butter slowly cook into ghee.
After about eight to ten minutes of watching the butter bubble on low, you will start to notice that the bubbles get smaller. And they start to look like they are glazed on their tops. At this point, your butter is turning into ghee! Remember, keep an every watchful eye on it!
Less frothy now...bubbles are smaller.
Close up of small ghee bubbles.
Your ghee will be ready soon once you are at this stage. I like to take a wooden spoon and move away the bubbles and froth to look at the bottom of the pan. You may start to see some brown floaters in the ghee. These are the milk solids cooking out of your butter, leaving you with ghee!
Here are the browned bits on the bottom of the pan. Notice that the bubbles are still small!
When you reach this stage with cooking your ghee, it is done! The next step is to strain out the cooked, brown mild solids.
I just recently learned to use a paper napkin inside a large strainer. It works even better than cheese cloth!
Let your ghee strain through the napkin and strainer into a measuring cup that has a pouring feature, which will help when you want to transfer your ghee into its final storage container.
Straining will take a few minutes because only a small stream of liquid can strain through at once. Be patient!
After the ghee completely strains, remove the napkin with the cooked milk solids and discard it. I like to use Ball jars and lids to store my ghee in the refrigerator.
There you have it...glorious, golden ghee!

Françoaldo Sena de Souza, besser bekannt als França (* 2. März 1976 in Codó) ist ein ehemaliger brasilianischer Fußballspieler.

Karriere

Verein
França begann das Fußballspielen in seiner Heimat Brasilien. Dort war er für die Vereine Nacional FC (AM), EC XV de Novembre Jau und den FC São Paulo aktiv. Mit São Paulo konnte er 1998 und 2002 die Staatsmeisterschaft von São Paulo gewinnen. In seiner ersten Saison brachte er es auf acht Einsätze und ein Tor. Seine erfolgreichste Saison hatte França 1999 mit 22 Partien und 19 Toren. Von 2002 bis 2005 spielte França für Bayer 04 Leverkusen. Dort war França mit seiner Ablösesumme von 8,5 Millionen Euro der bis dahin teuerste Spielereinkauf der Vereinsgeschichte. In seiner ersten Saison nahm er an 15 Spielen teil und erzielte lediglich ein Tor. 2003/04 erzielte França 14 Tore, legte 13 Treffer auf und bestritt 33 Spiele für die Werkself. Nachdem França sich in der Saison 2004/05 nicht gegen das Sturmduo Dimitar Berbatow/Andrij Woronin durchsetzen konnte, wurde sein Vertrag im August 2005 aufgelöst und er wechselte gegen Ende der Saison für eine Ablösesumme von 2,5 Millionen Euro zu Kashiwa Reysol, welches kurz davor stand, aus der japanischen J-League in die zweite Liga abzusteigen. In der Folgesaison konnte Kashiwa mit Platz 2 den Wiederaufstieg schaffen und ist seit 2007 wieder erstklassig. 2010 löste er dort seinen Vertrag auf. Ein Jahr später schloss sich França Yokohama FC an. Dort blieb er allerdings nur bis Jahresende und beendete im Anschluss seine aktive Karriere.

Nationalmannschaft
França spielte zwischen 2000 und 2002 neunmal für die brasilianische Fußballnationalmannschaft. Aufgrund einer Verletzung konnte er 2002 nicht an der Weltmeisterschaft für Brasilien teilnehmen und verlor dadurch seinen Platz in der Seleção.

How to manage drivers and couriers with ease?
When someone is running a taxi or delivery business, he should always know where his employees are and are they free to come to the next client. Developing such system is quite difficult and an ordinary man may not have enough money to afford it. Do you know from what taxi owners usually start? Most of them start with phone trackers. This tool is quite easy to handle and all functions are necessary for tracking employees.

Defense Industries plant produces masks & protective gowns for medics
Tehran, March 29, IRNA -- Defense Minister announced on Sunday that the Defense Industries Organization of Iran has been making round-the-clock efforts to help both medical centers and the Iranian people fight the coronavirus (COVID-19).
Defense Industries Organization will make use of all its capabilities to meet the needs of the health and medical centers to contain the deadly virus, Brigadier General Amir Hatami said during his visit to factories manufacturing masks and protective gowns for medics.
General Hatami added that the Defense Ministry has already produced 60,000 gowns for the medics to fight the coronavirus pandemic which has killed over 2,500 Iranians since its outbreak in the country late February.
The minister further said the country has relied on indigenous capabilities.
About the activities of the factories in Iran, the minister said although technology of producing the face masks with filter pocket seems simple, it has created problems for the modern countries to provide or produce such simple products.
In related developments, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani said on February 26 that the indigenous experts have achieved capability to produce corona test kits, but their achievements are under examination.
The deadly coronavirus radiating from Wuhan, China, in December 2019 has affected over 660,000 people across the world, while more than 30,000 have been killed.
About 35,408 people in Iran are infected with the coronavirus, while the virus has killed 2,517 Iranians, and about 11,679 have been recovered.

Pitts: Republican list of things you cannot say
Leonard Pitts Jr.
You are, perhaps, already familia
r with the Republican List of Things You Cannot Say. If not, here's a quick refresher:
1. "Vagina." That's a definite no-no. Three years ago, Republicans in the Michigan statehouse banned Democratic Rep. Lisa Brown from speaking after she used the v-word.
2. "Condom." The Bush administration sought to ban sex-ed teachers from mentioning the c-word or, indeed, any contraceptive method but abstinence.
3. "Gun." A 2011 Florida law prohibits pediatricians from asking if parents have a g-word in the house. Mind you, they can ask about swimming pools, tobacco, seat belts, lead paint and other potential home-based threats to children's health. But not firearms.
To that list, a new term has now been added. In Florida, you may not say "climate change."
Now, you'd think the Sunshine State would be using the double c-word quite a bit just now. Florida is, of course, a lowlands state, home to the largest subtropical wilderness in the United States, i.e., the Everglades, and as such, one of the most environmentally vulnerable places in the country. That confluence of facts represents a challenge to which a governor can respond in one of two ways: 1) grapple with the problem and look for ways to solve it; or 2) ignore the problem and silence those who dare to bring it up.
Gov. Rick Scott has chosen the second option. The state now operates under an unwritten gag order banning environmental officials from using the double c-word in any official email, correspondence or report to discuss the threat from human-caused planetary warming and rising seas.
The governor, for the record, denies any such rule exists. "It's not true," he told reporters last week. But Scott's words are simply not credible in the wake of a withering report published last week by the Miami Herald. In it, multiple former state Department of Environmental Protection officials describe how they were, in fact, censored by their superiors. "We were told not to use the terms 'climate change,' 'global warming' or 'sustainability,'" said former DEP attorney Christopher Byrd.
No, the GOP is not the only party to regulate what its officials may say. Yes, the Obama administration has lately come out against language conflating Islam and terrorism in order, it says, to deny gangs of criminal thugs the legitimacy of religious underpinnings. You may or may not find that reasoning persuasive, but give the White House this much credit: The ban seems designed to make a philosophical point -- not to forestall discussion of terrorism.
What we see in Gov. Scott, on the other hand, amounts to little more than a reality-avoidance scheme, a way of not having a debate he cannot win and would rather not have. The governor has previously tried denying the reality of global warming. He has used the "I'm not a scientist" dodge that the GOP adopted in lockstep last year. But this may be his most effective means yet: Commandeer the language, rendering discussion impossible.
It is not, however, the debate about global warming that threatens to submerge downtown Miami, but global warming itself. It turns out that, contrary to what we believed as children, if you ignore a thing, it doesn't go away. Often times, it simply festers and gets worse. And as guns, condoms and vaginas continue to exist despite GOP silencing, so too does the threat to Florida, the country and the planet from rising seas and temperatures.
Yet in the face of that existential danger, the GOP continues its strategy of sowing doubt, denial and delay. It is a depressing sign of our times that Florida's governor exerts so much energy to manage the language of catastrophe.
Here's a thought: Address the catastrophe and the language will take care of itself.

Polar ice caps melting six times faster than in 1990s
The polar ice caps are melting six times faster than in the 1990s, according to the most complete analysis to date.
The ice loss from Greenland and Antarctica is tracking the worst-case climate warming scenario set out by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), scientists say. Without rapid cuts to carbon emissions the analysis indicates there could be a rise in sea levels that would leave 400 million people exposed to coastal flooding each year by the end of the century.
Rising sea levels are the one of the most damaging long-term impacts of the climate crisis, and the contribution of Greenland and Antarctica is accelerating. The new analysis updates and combines recent studies of the ice masses and predicts that 2019 will prove to have been a record-breaking year when the most recent data is processed.
The previous peak year for Greenland and Antarctic ice melting was 2010, after a natural climate cycle led to a run of very hot summers. But the Arctic heatwave of 2019 means it is nearly certain that more ice was lost last year.
The average annual loss of ice from Greenland and Antarctica in the 2010s was 475bn tonnes – six times greater than the 81bn tonnes a year lost in the 1990s. In total the two ice caps lost 6.4tn tonnes of ice from 1992 to 2017, with melting in Greenland responsible for 60% of that figure.
Greenland and Antarctica ice mass loss
The IPCC's most recent mid-range prediction for global sea level rise in 2100 is 53cm. But the new analysis suggests that if current trends continue the oceans will rise by an additional 17cm.
"Every centimetre of sea level rise leads to coastal flooding and coastal erosion, disrupting people's lives around the planet," said Prof Andrew Shepherd, of the University of Leeds. He said the extra 17cm would mean the number of exposed to coastal flooding each year rising from 360 million to 400 million. "These are not unlikely events with small impacts," he said. "They are already under way and will be devastating for coastal communities."
Erik Ivins, of Nasa's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, in California, who led the assessment with Shepherd, said the lost ice was a clear sign of global heating. "The satellite measurements provide prima facie, rather irrefutable, evidence," he said.
Almost all the ice loss from Antarctica and half of that from Greenland arose from warming oceans melting the glaciers that flow from the ice caps. This causes glacial flow to speed up, dumping more icebergs into the ocean. The remainder of Greenland's ice losses are caused by hotter air temperatures that melt the surface of the ice sheet.
The combined analysis was carried out by a team of 89 scientists from 50 international organisations, who combined the findings of 26 ice surveys. It included data from 11 satellite missions that tracked the ice sheets' changing volume, speed of flow and mass.
About a third of the total sea level rise now comes from Greenland and Antarctic ice loss. Just under half comes from the thermal expansion of warming ocean water and a fifth from other smaller glaciers. But the latter sources are not accelerating, unlike in Greenland and Antarctica.
Shepherd said the ice caps had been slow to respond to human-caused global heating. Greenland and especially Antarctica were quite stable at the start of the 1990s despite decades of a warming climate.
Shepherd said it took about 30 years for the ice caps to react. Now that they had a further 30 years of melting was inevitable, even if emissions were halted today. Nonetheless, he said, urgent carbon emissions cuts were vital. "We can offset some of that [sea level rise] if we stop heating the planet."
The IPCC is in the process of producing a new global climate report and its lead author, Prof Gudfinna Adalgeirsdottir, of the University of Iceland, said: "The reconciled estimate of Greenland and Antarctic ice loss is timely."
She said she also saw increased losses from Iceland's ice caps last year. "Summer 2019 was very warm in this region."

Electrocautery is the use of an electric needle for the treatment of many annoying little age spots. We can very effectively treat sebacceous hyperplasia, syringoma (small bumps around the eyelids), seborrheic keratoses, skin tags, telangiectasias (small blood vessels on the face and body).
Sebacceous Hyperplasia: Sebacceous hyperplasia is overgrowth of normal oil glands. It is not uncommon to get them starting in your 30's. They are more common in very oily skin types and can be treated very beautifully with electrocautery. The treated areas will look like small dusky spot for about nine days and then they usually disappear. Depending on how many sebacceous hyperplasia you have, you may need one or two treatments. You will continue to get new lesions as you age.
Telangiectasia: The small electrocautery needle is inserted in to the small blood vessels and they will instantly disappear. This is a very popular treatment. It is a little painful, but is very quick.
Syringoma: One of the only effective treatments for syringoma is electrocautery. A very small needle called an epilating needle is used to heat and damage the syringoma. It usually takes about 10-12 days for the skin to heal and look normal again. The treated area will look slightly more enlarged for this time and will then begin to resolve. It is not uncommon to need two or three treatments to get the syringoma as gone as you can get them.
Seborrheic keratosis, Dermatosis Papulosa Nigra and Skin Tags: We use electrocautery for these lesions when they are very, very small. For larger lesions, we use different treatment modalities.

NVIDIA Decides to Price the GeForce RTX 4070 Ti at $799 MSRP
GPUNews
A few weeks ago, I published an article stating that NVIDIA is considering setting the MSRP of the NVIDIA RTX 4070 Ti at $899 and that the company has notified AICs that this will be the launch price provisionally. Multiple sources have informed us that they have gotten a last-minute update from big green with what seems to be a pre-launch price cut and the current tentative MSRP of the NVIDIA RTX 4070 Ti, which is $799. This information was passed on to us by big green.

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Founders Edition, seen here, will use…
NVIDIA has discreetly informed AICs of a price drop for the 4070 Ti's manufacturer's suggested retail price (MSRP): initial estimates place the price at $799.
Before a product launch, NVIDIA tends to keep the cost of its GPUs close to itself. However, certain AICs had already begun taking orders from some of their channel partners at an MSRP of $899.
On the other hand, customers were notified today that the initial launch date had been pushed back to $799, and the price difference would be rectified for orders already placed. This pricing point will likely remain unchanged now that we are getting closer to the debut (although that is just my educated guess).
The following passage from my initial piece is still pertinent today (although the price is not expected to go up and is instead more likely to go down if Jensen changes his mind once more):
Keep in mind, however, that Jensen wields the black leather jacket and all of us must submit to its power. So he could very well snap his fingers and change the MSRP at the very last moment should he want to. This is also why I am still tagging this post as a rumor – because until the marketing and documentation gets made for the launch, details like this can still change.
NVIDIA may have had a change of heart for several reasons, one of which is that the United States government delayed the implementation of tariffs on GPUs at a rate of 25% for nine months, which was scheduled to begin on January 1. This means that if NVIDIA and AICs had maintained the same price structure for their cards, their profits would have been reduced. They may have decided to bear the loss regardless and give the savings to the customer due to the business being unable to resume operations.
GPU tariffs that were resuming on 1/1 have been pushed back 9 months. #NVIDIA #Intel #AMDhttps://t.co/GVLjFYotnY

In contrast to its much more expensive sibling, the NVIDIA RTX 4090, the NVIDIA RTX 4080 has had a much harder time flying off the shelves, which is the primary reason for this. But of course, the second biggest reason is probably the completely lackluster traction that the NVIDIA RTX 4080 has had. The following is an updated version of the value proposition for NVIDIA's RTX 40 series, which is based on the value that is provided by the RTX 4090:
FP32 TFLOPS
TFLOPS/$
VALUE (%)
GeForce RTX 4090 82.59 1599 0.05165 100.0%
GeForce RTX 4080 48.74 1199 0.04065 78.7%
GeForce RTX 4070 Ti 40.09 799 0.05017 97%
As can be seen, the RTX 4070 Ti with this revised MSRP is much closer to the value that the TITAN gives from a TFLOPs/$ standpoint. This should allow the card to compete favorably with AMD's Radeon RX 7000 series GPUs, which were only released.
With only a few weeks left until launch, NVIDIA has made the decision to lower the price of its rather mainstream entry, and other price cuts might be on the way if the person wearing the black leather jacket believes it to be necessary. If any more adjustments are made to the prices, I will immediately report them.

The Bass returned Yes, low returned not. Like a wind vane on windy days this trend has changed as the wind should blow. Some time ago we saw all the pants with the low back and months later was already old-fashioned. And now? It seems that the fashion on the street has embraced his return as Ann Kim with its broken cowboy of H & M.
The low back for some has grown in size. Style is not only take a finger or two, but expand the Strip that goes back, as we see in the look of She Catliff with his jeans from Diesel along with a sleeveless blouse from paper London a vibrant Fuchsia. Well these Vince Camuto sandals.
This trend in the low broad returned is also in the style of Veronica with other jeans this time skinny and dark, of Lucky Brand, next to a large seafaring t-shirt. The best is the colorful touch of add-ins in red with bag of 3.1 Phillip Lim.
This idea not only is seen in the Cowboys. Pants from calipers to pictures as he looks Ian Chen they go through to turn the bass in a set of street that I love.

Abstract – The ever increasing requirements for information being accessible at any time, from any place, regardless the type of remote device or planned operation, together with the need of complete control of a specific scenario or device has paved the way towards the next technological revolution: Internet of Things (IoT) and led to several major research projects. Within this paperwork, the authors' vision regarding the architecture of an IoT network and an experimental testing bench for one of the first steps leading towards implementing the IoT vision is briefly introduced. The first part presents an overview of the Internet of Things. In the second part, authors' concept regarding an architecture for IoT and the vision towards implementation it into manufacturing environments are presented. The third part illustrates the implementation and testing of the chosen solution for connectivity between a smart equipment and Android compatible devices. In the last part, conclusions are highlighted and the roadmap regarding to concept implementation is defined.


For the British actress, see Pauline Johnson (actress).
Emily Pauline Johnson (also known in Mohawk as Tekahionwake –pronounced: dageh-eeon-wageh, literally: 'double-life') (10 March 1861 – 7 March 1913), commonly known as E. Pauline Johnson or just Pauline Johnson, was a Canadian writer and performer popular in the late 19th century.
Johnson was notable for her poems and performances that celebrated her Indigenous heritage; her father was a hereditary Mohawk chief of mixed ancestry. She also drew from English influences, as her mother was an English immigrant. One such poem is the frequently anthologized "The Song My Paddle Sings".
E. Pauline Johnson was born at Chiefswood, the family home built by her father in 1856 on his 225-acre estate at the Six Nations reserve outside Brantford, Ontario. She was the youngest of four children of Emily Susanna Howells Johnson (1824–1898), a native of England, and George Henry Martin Johnson (1816–1884), a Mohawk hereditary clan chief. His mother, Helen Martin, was of partial Dutch descent and born into the Wolf clan; his maternal grandmother, Catherine Rolleston, was a Dutch girl who became assimilated as Mohawk after being taken captive and adopted by a Wolf clan family.:136 Emily Susanna Howells immigrated to the United States in 1832 as a young child with her father, stepmother, and siblings.
Although both their families were opposed to Emily and George Johnson's marriage, and the couple were concerned that their own mixed-race family would not be socially accepted, they were acknowledged as a leading Canadian family.:61 The Johnsons enjoyed a high standard of living, and their family and home were well known. Chiefswood was visited by such intellectual and political guests as the inventor Alexander Graham Bell, painter Homer Watson, noted anthropologist Horatio Hale, and Lady and Lord Dufferin, Governor General of Canada.
At the age of 14, Johnson went to Brantford Central Collegiate with her brother Allen. She graduated in 1877. A schoolmate was Sara Jeannette Duncan, who developed her own journalistic and literary career.
During the 1880s, E. Pauline Johnson wrote and performed in amateur theatre productions. She enjoyed the Canadian outdoors, where she traveled by canoe. In 1883 she published her first full-length poem, "My Little Jean", in the New York Gems of Poetry. She began to increase the pace of her writing and publishing afterward.
In 1886, Johnson was commissioned to write a poem to mark the unveiling in Brantford of a statue honoring Joseph Brant, the important Mohawk leader who was allied with the British during and after the American Revolutionary War. Her "Ode to Brant" was read at a 13 October ceremony before "the largest crowd the little city had ever seen". It called for brotherhood between Native and white Canadians under British imperial authority.:90 The poem sparked a long article in the Toronto Globe, and increased interest in Johnson's poetry and heritage. The Brantford businessman William F. Cockshutt read the poem at the ceremony, as Johnson was reportedly too shy.
The Young Men's Liberal Association invited Johnson to a Canadian Authors Evening, held 16 January 1892 at the Toronto Art School Gallery. The only woman at the event, she read to an overflow crowd, along with luminaries such as Lighthall, William Wilfred Campbell, and Duncan Campbell Scott. "The poise and grace of this beautiful young woman standing before them captivated the audience even before she began to recite—not read, as the others had done"—her "Cry from an Indian Wife". She was the only author to be called back for an encore. "She had scored a personal triumph and saved the evening from turning into a disaster."
The success of this performance began the poet's 15-year stage career, as she was signed up by Frank Yeigh, who had organized the Liberal event. He gave her the headline for her first show on 19 February 1892, where she debuted a new poem written for the event, "The Song My Paddle Sings". Johnson was perceived as quite young (although she was then 31), a beauty, and an exotic Native performer.:102 After her first recital season, she decided to emphasize the Native aspects of her public figure by assembling and wearing a feminine Native costume.:9–10 She wore it during the first part of the show, when reciting her dramatic "Indian" lyrics. At intermission she changed into fashionable English dress; in the second half, she appeared as a Victorian lady to recite her "English" verse.
Johnson's decision to develop her stage persona, and the popularity it inspired, showed that the audiences she encountered in Canada, England, and the United States recognized and were entertained by Native peoples in performance. There was great interest in Native Americans; the 1890s were also the period of popularity of Buffalo Bill Cody's Wild West Show and ethnological aboriginal exhibits.:111 Johnson and her siblings inherited an artifact collection from their father, which included significant items such as Mohawk wampum belts and spiritual masks. She used some items in her stage performances, but sold most later to museums, such as the Ontario Provincial Museum, or to collectors, such as the prominent American George Gustav Heye.
After retiring from the stage in August 1909, Johnson moved to Vancouver, British Columbia, and continued writing. Her pieces included a series of articles for the Daily Province, based on stories related by her friend Chief Joe Capilano of the Squamish people of North Vancouver. In 1911, to help support Johnson, who was ill and poor, a group of friends organized the publication of these stories under the title Legends of Vancouver. They remain classics of that city's literature.
One of the stories was a Squamish legend of shape shifting: how a man was transformed into Siwash Rock "as an indestructible monument to Clean Fatherhood". In another, Johnson told the history of Deadman's Island, a small islet off Stanley Park. In a poem in the collection, she named one of her favourite areas "Lost Lagoon", as the inlet seemed to disappear when the water emptied at low tide. The body of water has since been transformed into a permanent, fresh-water lake at Stanley Park, but it is still called "Lost Lagoon".
The posthumous Shagganappi (1913) and The Moccasin Maker (1913) are collections of selected stories first published in periodicals. Johnson wrote on a variety of sentimental, didactic, and biographical topics. Veronica Strong-Boag and Carole Gerson provided a provisional chronological list of Johnson's writings in their book Paddling Her Own Canoe: The Times and Texts of E. Pauline Johnson (Tekahionwake) (2000).
Johnson died of breast cancer in Vancouver, British Columbia on 7 March 1913. Her funeral (the largest until then in Vancouver history) was held on what would have been her 52nd birthday. Her ashes were buried near Siwash Rock in Stanley Park. In 1922 a cairn was erected at the burial site, with an inscription reading in part, "in memory of one whose life and writings were an uplift and a blessing to our nation".
Scholars have had difficulty identifying Johnson's complete works, as much was published in periodicals. Her first volume of poetry, The White Wampum, was published in London, England in 1895. It was followed by Canadian Born in 1903. The contents of these volumes, together with additional poems, were published as the collection Flint and Feather in 1912. Reprinted many times, this book has been one of the best-selling titles of Canadian poetry. Since the 1917 edition, Flint and Feather has been misleadingly subtitled "The Complete Poems of E. Pauline Johnson". But in 2002, professors Carole Gerson and Veronica Strong-Boag produced an edition, Tekahionwake: Collected Poems and Selected Prose, that contains all of Johnson's poems found up to that date. A number of biographers and literary critics have downplayed her literary contributions, as they contend that her performances contributed most to her literary reputation during her lifetime. W. J. Keith wrote: "Pauline Johnson's life was more interesting than her writing ... with ambitions as a poet, she produced little or nothing of value in the eyes of critics who emphasize style rather than content."
Despite the acclaim she received from contemporaries, Johnson had a decline in reputation in the decades after her death.:91 It was not until 1961, with commemoration of the centenary of her birth, that Johnson began to be recognized as an important Canadian cultural figure.
The author Margaret Atwood admitted that she did not study literature by Native authors when preparing Survival: A Thematic Guide to Canadian Literature (1972), her seminal work. At its publication, she had said she could not find Native works. She mused, "Why did I overlook Pauline Johnson? Perhaps because, being half-white, she somehow didn't rate as the real thing, even among Natives; although she is undergoing reclamation today." Atwood's comments indicated that Johnson's multicultural identity contributed to her neglect by critics.
In 1922, the city of Vancouver erected a monument in Pauline Johnson's honour at her well-loved Stanley Park.
1945, Johnson was designated a Person of National Historic Significance.
Four Canadian schools have been named in Johnson's honour: elementary schools in West Vancouver, British Columbia; Scarborough, Ontario; Hamilton, Ontario; and Burlington, Ontario; and a high school in Brantford, Ontario.
Chiefswood, Johnson's childhood home constructed in 1856 in Brantford, has been listed as a National Historic Site because of both her father's and her own historical importance. Preserved as a house museum, it is the oldest Native mansion surviving from pre-Confederation times.
An Ontario Historical Plaque was erected in front of the Chiefswood house museum by the province to commemorate E. Pauline Johnson's role in the region's heritage.
The Canadian actor Donald Sutherland read the following quote from her poem "Autumn's Orchestra", at the opening ceremonies of the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver.
In 2010, composer Jeff Enns was commissioned to create a song based on Johnson's poem "At Sunset". His work was sung and recorded by the Canadian Chamber Choir under the artistic direction of Julia Davids.
The City Opera of Vancouver commissioned Pauline, a chamber opera dealing with her life, her multicultural identity, and her art. The composer is the Canadian Tobin Stokes, and the libretto was written by Margaret Atwood. The work premiered on 23 May 2014, at the York Theatre in Vancouver. The first opera to be written about Pauline Johnson, it is set 101 years earlier, in the last week of her life.
In 2016, she was one of the five finalists of significant women to be featured on Canadian banknotes, a contest eventually won by Viola Desmond.
The Mohawk ancestors of Johnson's father, Chief George Henry Martin Johnson, had historically lived in what became the state of New York, the Mohawk traditional homeland in the present-day United States. In 1758, her great-grandfather Tekahionwake was born in New York. When he was baptized, he took the name Jacob Johnson, taking his surname from Sir William Johnson, the influential British Superintendent of Indian Affairs, who acted as his godfather. The Johnson surname was subsequently passed down in the family.
After the American Revolutionary War started, Loyalists in the Mohawk Valley came under intense pressure. The Mohawk and three other Iroquois tribes were allies of the British rather than the rebel colonists. Jacob Johnson and his family moved to Canada. After the war they settled permanently in Ontario on land given by the Crown in partial compensation for Iroquois losses of territory in New York.
His son John Smoke Johnson had a talent for oratory, spoke English as well as Mohawk, and demonstrated his patriotism to the Crown during the War of 1812. As a result, John Smoke Johnson was made a Pine Tree Chief at the request of the British government.:21 Although John Smoke Johnson's title could not be inherited, his wife Helen Martin was descended from the Wolf Clan and a founding family of the Six Nations. Through her lineage and influence (as the Mohawk were matrilineal), their son George Johnson was named chief.
Chief George Johnson inherited his father's gift for languages and began his career as a church translator on the Six Nations reserve. Assisting the Anglican missionary, Johnson met his sister-in-law Emily Howells. They fell in love and married. In 1853, the couple's interracial marriage displeased both the Johnson and Howells families. (Several prominent Canadian families were descended from 18th and 19th-century marriages between British fur traders, who had capital and social standing, and daughters of First Nations chiefs, which had been considered economic and social alliances.) The birth of their first child reconciled the Johnson family to the marriage.:57 In 1856 Johnson built Chiefswood, a wood mansion where the family lived for years.
In 2017 school administrators at the High Park Alternative Public School in Toronto, Ontario characterized the song Land of the Silver Birch as racist. They mistakenly believed that Johnson wrote the poem on which the song is based. In a letter to parents they said, "While its lyrics are not overtly racist . . . the historical context of the song is racist." Some experts disagreed with this assertion and the music teacher who had the song performed at a school concert sued the administration for defamation.
