At the particular desire of several persons of quality, The Laws of the Game are printed on a fine imperial paper, proper to be framed or made screens of, that the players may have 'em before them to refer to, if any dispute should arise. Price 2s 6d.
No copies of Cogan's Laws are known to survive, although they are mentioned in the Jessel bibliography (item 785) and given a separate listing in Rather and Goldwater (item 10). (See "Where Can I Learn More about Hoyle's Writing?") Thomas Osborne republished the Laws in 1746 as I have discussed them many times, most recently in "An Insomniac's Reward."
Can we trust Cogan's advertisement? If frequency is any indication, the answer is yes. I have found the same language in 58 Cogan advertisements from March 5, 1743 to April 14, 1744. The advertisement also appears in all but one of the Cogan editions of Hoyle: Whist.1.1 through Whist.5, Backgammon.1, Memory.1, and Quadrille.1; only Piquet.1 lacks the advertisement. See "Bibliography of the Cogan Hoyles." It certainly seems as though the advertisements are more than wishful thinking.
A recent exquisite and unusual acquisition seems to provide corroboration for the existence of Cogan's Laws. Let us first concentrate on the object and later connect it with Hoyle and Cogan. It is a ladies fan, printed and hand painted on skin, with carved ivory guards and sticks. Be sure to click on the image to enlarge it. Note especially the intricately carved figures on the guard on the right of the fan.
A fan illustrating a game of whist.
The fan shows two elegantly dressed couples playing whist. The gentleman on the right is playing a court card, I believe a knave (jack). Quitted tricks are visible on the green baize top to the carved wooden gaming table.
To the left is a servant bringing a carafe of wine and glasses to the players. A young woman carries a stick on which an exotic bird perches.
The ivory sticks are delicately carved with four figures in the center, surrounded by lacy floral patterns and two ornamental flower pots. These detailed images (all of which can be enlarged with a mouse click) should give a sense a the beauty of the fan.
My essay "The Fans of Hoyle" looked at two fans from the 1790s with printed text taken more or less from Hoyle. There I noted that a 1735 law required the name of the publisher and date of publication to appear on the fan. As can be seen in the detail below, the whist fan was "Published by M. Gamble, May 3, 1743. According to the late Act." The British Museum website shows another example of Gamble's work.
One final detail, at left, lets us connect this fan to Hoyle. A gentleman with a tri-cornered hat and walking stick consults a framed sheet called The Laws of the Game of Whist hung behind the table. Gamble must have copied these from Hoyle's laws as published Cogan: Only Hoyle was writing about whist at the time and it was Cogan's idea to publish the Laws "proper to be framed," perhaps inspired by a similar example of chess laws published 125 years earlier (see "Chess, Hoyle, and a Bibliographer's Speculation"). The image in this fan corroborates the existence Cogan's Laws of Whist.
Gamble did take some artistic liberties in showing the laws.
Hoyle's first edition of Whist contained fourteen numbered laws. In the second edition (announced in advertisements in March 1743, including that of the 5th mentioned above), the laws were expanded to 25 in number. The additions were another part of Cogan's marketing strategy against the pirates, permitting him to advertise a new work "with great additions". Here, there are but 18 laws, with no legible text to compare to Hoyle's writing.
This lovely fan, dated just two months after the advertisement for Cogan's Laws, corroborates their publication, despite the fact that no copies are known. I will certainly include the Laws in my bibliography of Hoyle. Now if only we could find a copy!

Predator mongoose is still nabbing endangered birds
The Yambarukuina bird is still in trouble, despite massive government efforts to capture the mongoose that loves to eat the flightless birds.
The latest incident this week was reported by the NPO Foundation Animal Hospital in Uruma City, which noted that a mongoose captured from Kunigami Village had features of a Yambarukuina in its stomach. Mongoose prey on the hapless Yambarukuina, which congregate around Kunigami Village.
The Ministry of the Environment has been providing funding to capture and eradicate the mongoose from northern Okinawa, and officials report 144 have been caught in the past few months. The ministry reports that feathers of not only Yambarukuina, but also Noguchigera birds and other scarce birds have been found in the mongoose stomachs.
Manabu Nakachi is overseeing the extermination project, and he says "we didn't think the mongoose have been coming to the northern part of the forest, too." He says "we've been making protection fences along the roadside and forest to prevent mongoose going farther north than current spots like Nago City," but adds "we can see that mongoose has been spreading their lifestyle to the more northern part of the forest." He says more efforts will be dedicated to somehow protecting the birds from mongoose.
The project leader also warns drivers to be more careful, "because the Yambarukuina can't fly, and cross the street by walking." Nakachi also reminds drivers "the birds are so small, and black color, it is difficult to see them crossing the street," adding "if you drive carefully enough, the birds will be safe."

Alchymic Journals
Evan S. Connell
9781593760762 | Paperback 5-1/2 x 8 | 240 pages Buy it Now
Capturing the spirit of arcane writing, Evan S. Connell delivers spectacular and esoteric prose as he imagines the journals of seven alchemists. The first is Paracelsus, the famous sixteenth–century alchemist, who is followed by an array of distinct voices: physicians, historians, alchemists, and philosophers. Each employs a unique personality and point of view in a world of pre–scientific thought, of the western world about to step into modernity.
Though this historical recreation is medieval in style, Connell succeeds in infusing his diarists with alchemic wisdom, ancient appeal, and felt humanness. A work of rigid art and astute mimicry, Connell's work is intelligent and remarkable, medieval yet applicable to modernity. Alchymic Journals is, at its core, a study of humanity from the mind of one of America's greatest writers.
Evan S. Connell was the author of eighteen books, including Francisco Goya, Deus Lo Volt!, Mrs. Bridge, and Son of the Morning Star. He received numerous awards, including the Los Angeles Times Book Prize, the Pushcart Prize, a Guggenheim fellowship, and an award in literature from the American Academy and Institute of Arts and Letters. He lived and worked in Santa Fe, New Mexico.


Since its creation, our country has mainly been unable to solve its epidemic crisis, the main reason for its backwardness, a problem worse than terrorism, its lack of education.
Even in 2019, there is a staggering number of children who don't even have access to basic education. Education is the basic and foremost right and is considered a privilege in this country. Basic education is not a privilege but the right of everyone. Article 25 A "right to education" of our Constitution states: The state shall provide free and compulsory education to all the children between the ages of five-16 in a manner as may be determined by law.
At least 25.2 million children aged between five-16 are out of school, says a report, titled Broken Promises. These 25.02 million children are being deprived of their constitutional right.
Factually, Pakistan spends only 2.8 of its Gross Domestic Product on education; far below the recommended 4 to 6 percent. Many of the schools in the country lack facilities like chairs, tables, toilets and most importantly teachers. The state of education in these so-called free governmental schools is so poor that many parents see no point in sending their children there. Due to the poor education standards of governmental schools, private schooling has become a lucrative business. In private schools, they are being charged thousands for the education which they should be getting for free.
Furthermore, the number of girls out of school is more than boys, as the reasons are again sometimes culture and social norms; girls drop out either to work or to marry or the schools are too far for girls to go on a daily basis, they fear being harassed on the way.
Among all the provinces, Balochistan has the highest number of out of school children because the province has the lowest number of teachers and schools. Teachers are recruited on the basis of pure nepotism who get a salary but never go to school.
Education is our right. It has been stated free and compulsory by the Constitution. With compulsory education, it doesn't mean the hundreds of ghost schools widespread with no basic facilities; it doesn't mean the schools in Balochistan with no floors and roofs. It is our right and we should not be deprived of this basic constitutional right. The government should increase the expenditure on public education. The education quality for both private and government schools should be improved and there should be equal education access to both boys and girls.

Albany History - Wave
The Wave was a brig that was wrecked in 1848 at Cheynes Beach near Cape Riche, Western Australia.
Built in 1838 in Victoria, Bermuda the vessel was constructed from wood and copper sheathed. It had a square stern, single deck, no galleries and a billet head. The vessel was acquired by R. Brown in 1847 and was registered in London. It was then acquired in 1848 by William Younghusband and Company of Adelaide and registered there.
The vessel was in command of James C. Coke and was transporting cargo from Adelaide to Shanghai via Albany and Singapore.[1] The brig left Adelaide 5 June 1848 loaded mostly with flour and was en route to Albany to load a shipment of sandalwood.
The vessel was anchored at Cheyne Bay near Cape Riche when it was blown ashore by a heavy gale. The Champion and Arpenteur were dispatched from King George Sound[4] to assist. The Champion managed to pull the Wave offshore but Wave was leaking badly and foundered then sunk.
Champion then salvaged some of the cargo and then transported the crew, minus the Captain, back to Albany. Captain Coke sailed to Adelaide aboard the HMS Acheron, commanded by Captain John Lort Stokes.
The owners of the Arpenteur acquired the wreck of the Wave and that cargo not already salvaged for £330. The Arpenteur sailed for Fremantle with 27 tons of flour, 1,000 bushels of wheat, the rigging and sails that the crew had salvaged from the Wave

Former Spanish PMs support dialogue between Argentina, UK over Falklands
Argentina claims Wallace's remarks are "inappropriate and unacceptable"
On Margaret Thatcher Day, Secretary Wallace said "Britain will continue to stand up to bullies"
Italian daily will appeal 'defamation' ruling favouring Cristina Fernandez
Monday, May 6th 2013 - 07:17 UTC
Corriere della Sera must pay a 41.000 Euros compensation
Italy's news daily "Corriere della Sera" said it will appeal a decision by that country's court which ruled in favour of Argentine President Cristina Fernández in a "defamation" case involving alleged "luxury" purchases at Bulgari shops in Rome.
In 2008, the Italian paper published an article alluding to expensive luxury goods that the Argentine head of state apparently had acquired during a visit to Rome when she attended a FAO Summit at the Enigma jewellery shop, owned by top designer Gianni Bulgari. The bill allegedly paid by CFK would have exceeded the 140,000 Euros.
However, a sentence by an Italian court ordered María Egizia Fiaschetti, the reporter who wrote the piece, to pay 400 Euros and imposed then director of Corriere della Sera Paolo Mieli a 300-Euro fine. The ruling also includes a 41,000-Euro compensation that Cristina Fernández announced will be donated to the Children's Hospital of La Plata City.
Still, the donation will not yet be completed as the Italian newspaper will appeal the court's decision.
"They were saying that I went to Bulgari and bought I don't know what load of expensive stuff, gold and diamonds for more than 100,000 Euros and that, not happy with that tour, I went to Pratesi where bed sheets seem to cost more than a Bulgari's necklace. The idea was: the President of Argentines goes to a summit against hunger and at the same time goes buy 100,000-Euro necklaces," Cristina Fernández said as she strongly questioned the media versions.
Current director of Corriere della Sera Ferruccio de Bortoli as well as authorities of the local newspaper La Nación that echoed the news offered an official apology to President Cristina Fernández for the wrong information.
Categories: Politics, Argentina, International.

the newspaper will appeal and at the same time offers an official apology?
do the italians and la nacion put their tales between their legs?
That is the way to go sue them when lying I guess Cristina will become rich by doing so.
JamesS
who cares about this really !! let her have a little victory for a change ! It's obvious she spends lots of US$ on items of clothes anyway ! she even went to La Plata waving her US$54,000 watch in the faces of the locals while the they desperately need cash to re-build their lives...she's not exactly a lady of the people.. just a Eva Peron wanna be desperately looking for fame.

\section{Introduction}

In this paper, we contribute towards a full understanding of large stable constant mean curvature surfaces in asymptotically flat three-manifolds. In particular, we discover and use a delicate mechanism that brings out the subtle role of scalar curvature in this problem. Our results lie at the juncture of the classical analysis of Riemannian manifolds via their isoperimetric properties on the one hand, and deep recent developments in mathematical relativity through the work of H.~Bray \cite{Bray-thesis} and G.~Huisken \cite{Huisken} on the other hand.

Stable constant mean curvature surfaces have been used with great success to capture physical properties of initial data sets for the Einstein equations.
A landmark result in this direction due to G.~Huisken and S.-T.~Yau \cite{Huisken-Yau} says that the ends of non-flat initial data sets admit canonical foliations through stable constant mean curvature spheres. The mass and the center of mass of the initial data set are encoded in these spheres. Moreover, any stable constant mean curvature sphere which encloses a sufficiently large compact set is a leaf of this foliation (cf. \cite{Qing-Tian}). D.~Christodoulou and S.-T.~Yau \cite{Christodoulou-Yau} observed that the Hawking mass is a natural quasi-local measure of gravitation for regions in initial data sets that are bounded by stable constant mean curvature spheres. H.~Bray \cite{Bray-thesis} observed that the Hawking mass is monotone increasing along an expanding foliation through such spheres, such as that of \cite{Huisken-Yau}, if the scalar curvature is non-negative.

J.~Metzger and the second-named author showed that the stable constant mean curvature spheres in \cite{Huisken-Yau} enclose their volume with the least amount of area possible. In fact, they are uniquely characterized by this property  \cite{Eichmair-Metzger1}. This result holds in all dimensions \cite{Eichmair-Metzger3}. It resolves a conjecture of H. Bray who in this Stanford thesis characterized the solutions of the isoperimetric problem in the exact Schwarzschild manifold \cite{Bray-thesis}. We characterized the solutions of the isoperimetric problem in the doubled Schwarzschild manifold in \cite{Brendle-Eichmair}. Moreover, in a recent paper \cite{Brendle2}, the first-named author showed that any embedded constant mean curvature surface in the Schwarzschild manifold is a sphere of symmetry. This result is similar to the classical Alexandrov theorem in Euclidean space in that it does not require any assumptions concerning the topology of the surface or the stability operator. Moreover, the result can be generalized to a large class of rotationally symmetric manifolds; see \cite{Brendle2} for a precise statement.

We assume throughout that $g$ is a Riemannian metric on $\mathbb{R}^3$ such that
\begin{equation}
\label{expansiong}
g = (1 + |x|^{-1})^4 \sum_{i=1}^3 dx_i \otimes dx_i + T + o(|x|^{-2}) \text{ as } |x| \to \infty
\end{equation}
where the components of $T$ are homogeneous functions of degree $-2$. As in \cite{Huisken-Yau}, we require corresponding estimates for the first and second derivatives of the metric. The metric $g$ describes the asymptotically flat end of an initial data set whose mass is normalized to $2$. In fact, the first term on the right-hand side of (\ref{expansiong}) is the exact Schwarzschild metric. Our assumptions on the structure of the perturbation term $T$ are slightly stronger than in \cite{Huisken-Yau}.

Let $\Sigma$ be a closed stable constant mean curvature surface in $(\mathbb{R}^3, g)$. Let $H_\Sigma$ denote the mean curvature of $\Sigma$ and let $\rho_\Sigma := \sup \{\rho > 0 : B_\rho(0) \cap \Sigma = \emptyset\}$. We say that $\Sigma$ is outlying if the compact region bounded by $\Sigma$ is disjoint from $B_{\rho_\Sigma}(0)$ and if the mean curvature of the coordinate spheres $\partial B_\rho(0)$ is positive for all $\rho \geq \rho_\Sigma$. By the maximum principle, $H_\Sigma > 0$ if $\Sigma$ is outlying.

Our first result shows that, in general, there may exist arbitrarily large outlying stable constant mean curvature spheres in an initial data set. This settles a question left open in the work of G.~Huisken and S.-T.~Yau; see \cite{Huisken-Yau}, p.~310.

\begin{theorem}
\label{thm1}
Let $a \in (0, \infty)$. There exists a metric $g$ as in (\ref{expansiong}) and a sequence of outlying stable constant mean curvature spheres $\Sigma^{(n)}$ such that $\rho_{\Sigma^{(n)}} \to \infty$, $H_{\Sigma^{(n)}} \to 0$, and such that $\lim_{n \to \infty} H_{\Sigma^{(n)}} \, \rho_{\Sigma^{(n)}} = 2 a \in (0, \infty)$.
\end{theorem}

On the other hand, we show that sequences of stable constant mean curvature spheres as in Theorem \ref{thm1} cannot exist when the scalar curvature of the metric $g$ is nonnegative.

\begin{theorem}
\label{thm2}
Let $a \in (0, \infty)$. Let $g$ be a metric as in (\ref{expansiong}) and let $R$ be its scalar curvature function. If there exists a sequence $\Sigma^{(n)}$ of outlying closed stable constant mean curvature surfaces such that $\rho_{\Sigma^{(n)}} \to \infty$ and $H_{\Sigma^{(n)}} \, \rho_{\Sigma^{(n)}} \to 2 a$ as $n \to \infty$, then $\liminf_{x \to \infty} |x|^4 \, R(x) < 0$.
\end{theorem}

By comparison, Theorem 1.6 in \cite{Eichmair-Metzger2} of J.~Metzger and the second-named author implies that if the scalar curvature is positive and if $\Sigma^{(n)}$ is a sequence of closed stable constant mean curvature surfaces whose areas diverge to infinity as $n \to \infty$, then $\rho_{\Sigma^{(n)}} \to \infty$.

Theorem \ref{thm2} may be rephrased as follows: Let $g$ be a metric as above such that $R \geq -o(|x|^{-4})$ where $R$ is the scalar curvature of $g$. Then, for every $\beta  \in (0, 1)$, we can find a real number $\rho$ with the property that there are no outlying stable constant mean curvature spheres $\Sigma$ with $\rho_\Sigma \geq \rho$ and $\beta \leq \rho_\Sigma H_{\Sigma} \leq \beta^{-1}$.

The uniqueness results in \cite{Huisken-Yau, Qing-Tian} for large stable constant mean curvature spheres that contain the center of the manifold  rely on a calculation of certain flux integrals. No assumption on the scalar curvature is necessary. By contrast, these flux integrals vanish in our situation. The proofs of our main results here are based on a more delicate analysis. Our starting point is a Lyapunov-Schmidt reduction. This method is inspired in part by the noncompactness results for the Yamabe equation in conformal geometry; see e.g. \cite{Ambrosetti} or \cite{Brendle1} for details. Using the implicit function theorem, we construct a family of surfaces $\Sigma_{(\xi,\lambda)}$ each of which is close to a large coordinate sphere centered at $\lambda \xi$ and of radius $\lambda$, whose enclosed volume is equal to $\frac{4\pi}{3} \lambda^3$, and whose mean curvature differs from a constant by first spherical harmonics. Moreover, we show that $\Sigma_{(\xi,\lambda)}$ has constant mean curvature with respect to $g$ if and only if $\xi$ is a critical point of the function $\xi \mapsto \mathscr{H}_g^2(\Sigma_{(\xi,\lambda)})$. On the other hand, we prove that
\[\mathscr{H}_g^2(\Sigma_{(\xi,\lambda)}) - 4\pi \, \lambda^2 = 2\pi \, F(\xi) + o(1),\]
where $F(\xi)$ is defined by
\begin{align}
\label{definition.of.F}
F(\xi)
&= -14 + 16 \, |\xi|^2 \log \frac{|\xi|^2-1}{|\xi|^2} + (15 \, |\xi| - |\xi|^{-1}) \, \log \frac{|\xi|+1}{|\xi|-1} \notag \\
&+ \frac{1}{4\pi} \, \bigg ( \int_{\partial B_1(\xi)} \text{\rm tr}_S(T) - 2 \int_{B_1(\xi)} \text{\rm tr}_{\mathbb{R}^3}(T) \bigg )
\end{align}
for $\xi \in \mathbb{R}^3 \setminus \bar{B}_1(0)$. It turns out that the last term is related to the scalar curvature of the background metric $g$ in a subtle way. If $R \geq -o(|x|^{-4})$, we are able to show that the radial derivative of the function $F$ is strictly positive. In particular, $F$ has no critical points in this case. On the other hand, if the hypothesis on the scalar curvature is dropped, we show that for a suitable choice of the perturbation term $T$ the function $F$ has a strict local minimum at some point $\xi \in \mathbb{R}^3$ with $|\xi|>1$.

\section{Lyapunov-Schmidt reduction}

Let us fix a real number $\sigma > 1$, an integer $k \geq 1$, and a real number $\alpha \in (0, 1)$. Let $\mathscr{X}$ denote the space of Riemannian metrics on the ball $\bar{B}_\sigma(0) \subset \mathbb{R}^3$ with the $C^{k, \alpha}$ topology. Let $\mathscr{Y}$ denote the space of $C^{k+1, \alpha}$ functions on the unit sphere with center at the origin. The following consequence of the implicit function theorem is well known.

\begin{proposition}
\label{implicit.function.theorem}
If $g \in \mathscr{X}$ is sufficiently close to the Euclidean metric, then there exists a unique function $u \in \mathscr{Y}$ close to $0$ with the following properties:
\begin{itemize}
\item The spherical graph $\Sigma = \{(1+u(y)) \, y: y \in \partial B_1(0)\}$ encloses the volume $4 \pi / 3$ with respect to the metric $g$.
\item The function $u$ is orthogonal to the first spherical harmonics. The mean curvature of $\Sigma$ with respect to $g$ is equal to a constant plus a sum of first spherical harmonics.
\end{itemize}
We may write $u = \mathscr{G}(g)$ where $\mathscr{G}$ is a smooth map from a neighborhood of the Euclidean metric in $\mathscr{X}$ to a neighborhood of $0$ in $\mathscr{Y}$.
\end{proposition}

Let $g$ be a Riemannian metric of the form  (\ref{expansiong}). Fix a bounded open set $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^3$ with $\bar{\Omega} \cap \bar{B}_1(0) = \emptyset$. For $\xi \in \Omega$ and $\lambda>0$ large, we consider the coordinate sphere
\[S_{(\xi,\lambda)} = \{x \in \mathbb{R}^3:  |x-\lambda \, \xi| = \lambda\}.\]
The rescaled metric
\[\tilde g_{(\xi, \lambda)} = \lambda^{-2} \, \Phi_{(\xi,\lambda)}^* g\]
differs from the Euclidean metric by terms of order $O(\lambda^{-1})$ in $\mathscr{X}$. Here, $\Phi_{(\xi,\lambda)} : \mathbb{R}^3 \to \mathbb{R}^3$ is the map $y \mapsto \lambda (\xi+y)$. The following result follows from Proposition \ref{implicit.function.theorem} and a scaling argument.

\begin{proposition}
\label{deformation}
Suppose that $\lambda$ is sufficiently large. For every $\xi \in \Omega$ we can find a surface $\Sigma_{(\xi,\lambda)}$ with the following properties:
\begin{itemize}
\item $\Sigma_{(\xi,\varepsilon)}$ is a spherical  graph over the coordinate sphere $S_{(\xi,\lambda)}$. The height function $u_{(\xi,\lambda)}$ is orthogonal to the first spherical harmonics on $S_{(\xi,\lambda)}$ and we have the estimate
\[\sup_{S_{(\xi,\lambda)}} \left( |u_{(\xi,\lambda)}| + \lambda \, |D u_{(\xi,\lambda)}| + \lambda^2 \, |D^2 u_{(\xi,\lambda)}| \right) = O(1).\]
\item $\text{\rm vol}_g(\Sigma_{(\xi,\lambda)}) = 4 \pi \lambda^3 / 3$.
\item The mean curvature of $\Sigma_{(\xi,\lambda)}$ satisfies
\[H_{\Sigma_{(\xi,\lambda)}} - 2\lambda^{-1} = h_0(\xi,\lambda) + \sum_{i=1}^3 h_i(\xi,\lambda) \, y_i\]
where $h_i (\xi, \lambda) \in \mathbb{R}$ for $i = 0, 1, 2, 3$.
\end{itemize}
\end{proposition}

The enclosed volume of the coordinate sphere $S_{(\xi,\lambda)}$ with respect to the metric $g$ is given by
\begin{align*}
\text{\rm vol}_g(S_{(\xi,\lambda)})
&= \int_{\{x \in \mathbb{R}^3:  |x-\lambda \, \xi| \leq \lambda\}} (1 + |x|^{-1})^6 + O(\lambda) \\
&= \int_{\{x \in \mathbb{R}^3:  |x-\lambda \, \xi| \leq \lambda\}} (1 + 6 \, |x|^{-1}) + O(\lambda) \\
&= \frac{4\pi}{3} \, \lambda^3 \, (1 + 6 \, \lambda^{-1} \, |\xi|^{-1}) + O(\lambda).
\end{align*}
Using that $\text{\rm vol}_g(\Sigma_{(\xi,\lambda)}) = 4 \pi \lambda^3 / 3$ we find that
\begin{align*}
\int_{S_{(\xi,\lambda)}} u_{(\xi,\lambda)}
&= \text{\rm vol}_g(\Sigma_{(\xi,\lambda)}) - \text{\rm vol}_g(S_{(\xi,\lambda)}) + O(\lambda) \\
&= \frac{4\pi}{3} \, \lambda^3 - \text{\rm vol}_g(S_{(\xi,\lambda)}) + O(\lambda) \\
&= -8\pi \, \lambda^2 \, |\xi|^{-1} + O(\lambda).
\end{align*}
In other words, the mean value of $u_{(\xi,\lambda)}$ over the coordinate sphere $S_{(\xi,\lambda)}$ is equal to $-2 \, |\xi|^{-1} + O(\lambda^{-1})$.

The mean curvature $H_{S_{(\xi,\lambda)}}$ of the coordinate sphere $S_{(\xi,\lambda)}$ with respect to the metric $g$ satisfies
\[H_{S_{(\xi,\lambda)}} - 2\lambda^{-1} = O(\lambda^{-2}).\]
We will require a more precise estimate. Using the formula for the change of the mean curvature under a conformal change of the metric, we obtain that
\[H_{S_{(\xi,\lambda)}}-2\lambda^{-1} = -4\lambda^{-2} \, (|y+\xi|^{-1} + |y+\xi|^{-3} \, \langle y,y+\xi \rangle) + O(\lambda^{-3})\]
where $y = \lambda^{-1} \, x - \xi$. Since $|y|=1$ on $S_{(\xi,\lambda)}$ and $|\xi| > 1$, we may write
\[|y+\xi|^{-1} = \sum_{l \geq 0} |\xi|^{-l-1} \, P_l ( -\langle y,\xi \rangle / |\xi| ),\]
where the $P_l$'s are the Legendre polynomials. Differentiating this identity with respect to $\xi$ in radial direction gives
\[|y+\xi|^{-3} \, \langle \xi,y+\xi \rangle = \sum_{l \geq 0} (l+1) \, |\xi|^{-l-1} \, P_l ( -\langle y,\xi \rangle / |\xi| ).\]
Putting these facts together, we obtain
\begin{align*}
H_{S_{(\xi,\lambda)}}-2\lambda^{-1}
&= 4\lambda^{-2} \, (|y+\xi|^{-3} \, \langle \xi,y+\xi \rangle - 2 \, |y+\xi |^{-1}) + O(\lambda^{-3}) \\
&= 4\lambda^{-2} \sum_{l \geq 0} (l-1) \, |\xi|^{-l-1} \, P_l ( -\langle y,\xi \rangle / |\xi| ) + O(\lambda^{-3}).
\end{align*}
On the other hand, the mean curvature of the surface $\Sigma_{(\xi,\lambda)}$ with respect to the metric $g$ satisfies
\[H_{\Sigma_{(\xi,\lambda)}} = H_{S_{(\xi,\lambda)}} - \Delta_{S_{(\xi,\lambda)}} u_{(\xi,\lambda)} - 2\lambda^{-2} \, u_{(\xi,\lambda)} + O(\lambda^{-3}).\]
From this, we deduce that
\begin{align*}
\Delta_{S_{(\xi,\lambda)}} u_{(\xi,\lambda)} + 2\lambda^{-2} \, u_{(\xi,\lambda)}
&= H_{S_{(\xi,\lambda)}} - H_{\Sigma_{(\xi,\lambda)}} + O(\lambda^{-3}) \\
&= 4\lambda^{-2} \sum_{l \geq 0} (l-1) \, |\xi|^{-l-1} \, P_l ( -\langle y,\xi \rangle / |\xi| ) \\
&- h_0(\xi,\lambda) - \sum_{i=1}^3 h_i(\xi,\lambda) \, y_i + O(\lambda^{-3}).
\end{align*}
Using that $u_{(\xi,\lambda)}$ has mean $-2 \, |\xi|^{-1} + O(\lambda^{-1})$ and that it is orthogonal to the first spherical harmonics on $S_{(\xi,\lambda)}$, we obtain that
\[u_{(\xi,\lambda)} = -4 \sum_{l \geq 0, \, l \neq 1} \frac{1}{l+2} \, |\xi|^{-l-1} \, P_l ( -\langle y,\xi \rangle / |\xi| )+ O(\lambda^{-1})\]
and
\[|h_0(\xi,\lambda)| + \sum_{i=1}^3 |h_i(\xi,\lambda)| = O(\lambda^{-3}).\]
In particular, we have
\[H_{\Sigma_{(\xi,\lambda)}} - 2\lambda^{-1} = h_0(\xi,\lambda) + \sum_{i=1}^3 h_i(\xi,\lambda) \, y_i = O(\lambda^{-3}).\]
In the next step, we derive an asymptotic expansion for the surface area of $\Sigma_{(\xi,\varepsilon)}$.

\begin{proposition}
\label{expansion.for.area}
We have
\[\mathscr{H}_g^2(\Sigma_{(\xi,\lambda)}) - 4\pi \, \lambda^2  = 2\pi \, F(\xi) + o(1),\]
where $F(\xi)$ is defined by (\ref{definition.of.F}).
\end{proposition}

\textbf{Proof.} Let us define a functional $\mathscr{F}_\lambda$ on closed hypersurfaces $\Sigma$ by
\[\mathscr{F}_\lambda(\Sigma) = \mathscr{H}_g^2(\Sigma) - 2\lambda^{-1} \, \text{\rm vol}_g(\Sigma),\]
where the area and enclosed volume of $\Sigma$ are computed with respect to the metric $g$. Using the second variation formula for the functional $\mathscr{F}_\lambda$, we obtain
\begin{align*}
\mathscr{F}_\lambda(\Sigma_{(\xi,\lambda)})
&= \mathscr{F}_\lambda(S_{(\xi,\lambda)}) + \int_{S_{(\xi,\lambda)}} u_{(\xi,\lambda)} \, (H_{S_{(\xi,\lambda)}} - 2\lambda^{-1}) \\
&+ \frac{1}{2} \int_{S_{(\xi,\lambda)}} (|\nabla^{S_{(\xi,\lambda)}} u_{(\xi,\lambda)}|^2 - 2\lambda^{-2} \, u_{(\xi,\lambda)}^2) + O(\lambda^{-1}) \\
&= \mathscr{F}_\lambda(S_{(\xi,\lambda)}) - 16 \sum_{l \geq 0} \frac{l-1}{l+2} \, |\xi|^{-2l-2} \int_{\{|y|=1\}} P_l ( -\langle y,\xi \rangle / |\xi| )^2 \\
&+ 8 \sum_{l \geq 0} \frac{l-1}{l+2} \, |\xi|^{-2l-2} \int_{\{|y|=1\}} P_l ( -\langle y,\xi \rangle / |\xi| )^2 + O(\lambda^{-1}) \\
&= \mathscr{F}_\lambda(S_{(\xi,\lambda)}) - 16\pi \sum_{l \geq 0} \frac{l-1}{l+2} \, |\xi|^{-2l-2} \int_{-1}^1 P_l(-z)^2 \, dz + O(\lambda^{-1}) \\
&= \mathscr{F}_\lambda(S_{(\xi,\lambda)}) - 32\pi \sum_{l \geq 0} \frac{l-1}{(l+2)(2l+1)} \, |\xi|^{-2l-2} + O(\lambda^{-1}).
\end{align*}
Note that
\[\sum_{l \geq 0} \frac{1}{l+2} \, |\xi|^{-2l-2} = -1 - |\xi|^2 \log \frac{|\xi|^2-1}{|\xi|^2}\]
and
\[\sum_{l \geq 0} \frac{1}{2l+1} \, |\xi|^{-2l-2} = \frac{1}{2 \, |\xi|} \log \frac{|\xi|+1}{|\xi|-1}.\]
Subtracting the second identity from the first gives
\[\sum_{l \geq 0} \frac{l-1}{(l+2)(2l+1)} \, |\xi|^{-2l-2} = -1 - |\xi|^2 \log \frac{|\xi|^2-1}{|\xi|^2} - \frac{1}{2 \, |\xi|} \log \frac{|\xi|+1}{|\xi|-1}.\]
Thus,
\[\mathscr{F}_\lambda(\Sigma_{(\xi,\lambda)}) = \mathscr{F}_\lambda(S_{(\xi,\lambda)}) + 32\pi \, \Big ( 1 + |\xi|^2 \log \frac{|\xi|^2-1}{|\xi|^2} + \frac{1}{2 \, |\xi|} \log \frac{|\xi|+1}{|\xi|-1} \Big ) + O(\lambda^{-1}).\]
We next analyze the term $\mathscr{F}_\lambda(S_{(\xi,\lambda)})$. Using the identity
\[\int_{S_{(\xi,\lambda)}} |x|^{-2} = 2\pi \, |\xi|^{-1} \, \log \frac{|\xi|+1}{|\xi|-1}\]
we obtain
\begin{align*}
\mathscr{H}_g^2(S_{(\xi,\lambda)})
&= \int_{S_{(\xi,\lambda)}} (1 + |x|^{-1})^4 + \frac{1}{2} \int_{S_{(\xi,\lambda)}} \text{\rm tr}_{S_{(\xi,\lambda)}}(T) + o(1) \\
&= \int_{S_{(\xi,\lambda)}} (1 + 4 \, |x|^{-1} + 6 \, |x|^{-2}) + \frac{1}{2} \int_{S_{(\xi,\lambda)}} \text{\rm tr}_{S_{(\xi,\lambda)}}(T) + o(1) \\
&= 4\pi \, \lambda^2 + 16\pi \, \lambda \, |\xi|^{-1} \\
&+ 12\pi \, |\xi|^{-1} \, \log \frac{|\xi|+1}{|\xi|-1} + \frac{1}{2} \int_{\partial B_1(\xi)} \text{\rm tr}_S(T) + o(1).
\end{align*}
Similarly, the identity
\[\int_{B_{(\xi,\lambda)}} |x|^{-2} = 2\pi \, \lambda \, \Big ( 1 - \frac{|\xi|^2-1}{2 \, |\xi|} \, \log \frac{|\xi|+1}{|\xi|-1} \Big )\]
gives
\begin{align*}
\text{\rm vol}_g(S_{(\xi,\lambda)})
&= \int_{B_{(\xi,\lambda)}} (1 + |x|^{-1})^6 + \frac{1}{2} \int_{B_{(\xi,\lambda)}} \text{\rm tr}_{\mathbb{R}^3}(T) + o(\lambda) \\
&= \int_{B_{(\xi,\lambda)}} (1 + 6 \, |x|^{-1} + 15 \, |x|^{-2}) + \frac{1}{2} \int_{B_{(\xi,\lambda)}} \text{\rm tr}_{\mathbb{R}^3}(T) + o(\lambda) \\
&= \frac{4\pi}{3} \, \lambda^3 + 8\pi \, \lambda^2 \, |\xi|^{-1} + 30\pi \, \lambda \, \Big ( 1 - \frac{|\xi|^2-1}{2 \, |\xi|} \, \log \frac{|\xi|+1}{|\xi|-1} \Big ) \\
&+ \frac{1}{2} \, \lambda \int_{B_1(\xi)} \text{\rm tr}_{\mathbb{R}^3}(T) + o(\lambda).
\end{align*}
Putting these facts together, we conclude that
\begin{align*}
\mathscr{F}_\lambda(S_{(\xi,\lambda)})
&= \frac{4\pi}{3} \, \lambda^2 + 12\pi \, |\xi|^{-1} \, \log \frac{|\xi|+1}{|\xi|-1} - 60\pi \, \Big ( 1 - \frac{|\xi|^2-1}{2 \, |\xi|} \, \log \frac{|\xi|+1}{|\xi|-1} \Big ) \\
&+ \frac{1}{2} \int_{\partial B_1(\xi)} \text{\rm tr}_S(T) - \int_{B_1(\xi)} \text{\rm tr}_{\mathbb{R}^3}(T) + o(1).
\end{align*}
This implies
\begin{align*}
\mathscr{F}_\lambda(\Sigma_{(\xi,\lambda)})
&= \frac{4\pi}{3} \, \lambda^2 + 12\pi \, |\xi|^{-1} \, \log \frac{|\xi|+1}{|\xi|-1} - 60\pi \, \Big ( 1 - \frac{|\xi|^2-1}{2 \, |\xi|} \, \log \frac{|\xi|+1}{|\xi|-1} \Big ) \\
&+ 32\pi \Big ( 1 + |\xi|^2 \log \frac{|\xi|^2-1}{|\xi|^2} + \frac{1}{2 \, |\xi|} \log \frac{|\xi|+1}{|\xi|-1} \Big ) \\
&+ \frac{1}{2} \int_{\partial B_1(\xi)} \text{\rm tr}_S(T) - \int_{B_1(\xi)} \text{\rm tr}_{\mathbb{R}^3}(T) + o(1) \\
&= \frac{4\pi}{3} \, \lambda^2 + 2\pi \, F(\xi) + o(1).
\end{align*}
Since $\mathscr{F}_\lambda(\Sigma_{(\xi,\lambda)}) = \mathscr{H}_g^2(\Sigma_{(\xi,\lambda)}) - \frac{8\pi}{3} \, \lambda^2$, we obtain
\[\mathscr{H}_g^2(\Sigma_{(\xi,\lambda)}) = 4\pi \, \lambda^2 + 2\pi \, F(\xi) + o(1).\]
This completes the proof of Proposition \ref{expansion.for.area}. \\

Finally, we need the following technical estimate:

\begin{proposition}
\label{technical}
Let $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^3$ be a bounded open set with $\bar{\Omega} \cap \bar{B}_1(0) = \emptyset$. Then
\[\sup_\Omega \max_{1 \leq i \leq 3} \Big | \frac{\partial}{\partial \xi_i} \mathscr{H}_g^2(\Sigma_{(\xi,\lambda)}) \Big | \leq C  \text{ and }    \sup_\Omega \max_{1 \leq i,j \leq 3} \Big | \frac{\partial^2}{\partial \xi_i \, \partial \xi_j} \mathscr{H}_g^2(\Sigma_{(\xi,\lambda)}) \Big | \leq C,\]
where the constant $C$ is independent of $\lambda$.
\end{proposition}

\textbf{Proof.}
The rescaled surface $\tilde{\Sigma}_{(\xi,\lambda)} = \lambda^{-1} \, \Sigma_{(\xi,\lambda)} - \xi$ is a spherical graph over the unit sphere with center at the origin. Its height function $\tilde{u}_{(\xi,\lambda)}$ can be expressed as $\tilde{u}_{(\xi,\lambda)} = \mathscr{G}(\tilde{g}_{(\xi,\lambda)})$ where $\mathscr{G}$ is a $C^2$ map from a neighborhood of the Euclidean metric in $\mathscr{X}$ to a neighborhood of $0$ in $\mathscr{Y}$. Since
\[\Big \| \frac{\partial}{\partial \xi_i} \tilde{g}_{(\xi,\lambda)} \Big \|_{\mathscr{X}} \leq O(\lambda^{-1}) \quad \text{ and } \quad   \Big \| \frac{\partial^2}{\partial \xi_i \, \partial \xi_j} \tilde{g}_{(\xi,\lambda)} \Big \|_{\mathscr{X}} \leq O(\lambda^{-1}),\]
we conclude that
\[\Big \| \frac{\partial}{\partial \xi_i} \tilde{u}_{(\xi,\lambda)} \Big \|_{\mathscr{Y}} \leq O(\lambda^{-1})\quad \text{ and } \quad   \Big \| \frac{\partial^2}{\partial \xi_i \, \partial \xi_j} \tilde{u}_{(\xi,\lambda)} \Big \|_{\mathscr{Y}} \leq O(\lambda^{-1}).\]
Fix a point $\bar{\xi} \in \Omega$. Using the formulae for the first variation of area and volume, we obtain
\begin{align*}
&\frac{\partial}{\partial \xi_i} \mathscr{H}_{\tilde{g}_{(\xi,\lambda)}}^2(\tilde{\Sigma}_{(\xi,\lambda)}) \Big |_{\xi=\bar{\xi}} \\
&= \frac{\partial}{\partial \xi_i} \Big ( \mathscr{H}_{\tilde{g}_{(\xi,\lambda)}}^2(\tilde{\Sigma}_{(\xi,\lambda)}) - 2 \, \text{\rm vol}_{\tilde{g}_{(\xi,\lambda)}}(\tilde{\Sigma}_{(\xi,\lambda)}) \Big ) \Big |_{\xi=\bar{\xi}} \\
&= \frac{\partial}{\partial \xi_i} \Big ( \mathscr{H}_{\tilde{g}_{(\xi,\lambda)}}^2(\tilde{\Sigma}_{(\bar{\xi},\lambda)}) - 2 \, \text{\rm vol}_{\tilde{g}_{({\xi},\lambda)}}(\tilde{\Sigma}_{(\bar{\xi},\lambda)}) \Big ) \Big |_{\xi=\bar{\xi}} + O(\lambda^{-2}) \\
&= - 4\lambda^{-1} \int_{\partial B_1(0)} |\xi+y|^{-3} \, (\xi_i+y_i) \\
& +12\lambda^{-1} \int_{B_1(0)} |\xi+y|^{-3} \, (\xi_i+y_i) + O(\lambda^{-2}) \\
&= O(\lambda^{-2}).
\end{align*}
Similarly, using the formula for the second variation of area and volume, we obtain
\begin{align*}
&\frac{\partial^2}{\partial \xi_i \, \partial \xi_j} \mathscr{H}_{\tilde{g}_{(\xi,\lambda)}}^2(\tilde{\Sigma}_{(\xi,\lambda)}) \Big |_{\xi=\bar{\xi}} \\
&= \frac{\partial^2}{\partial \xi_i \, \partial \xi_j} \Big ( \mathscr{H}_{\tilde{g}_{(\xi,\lambda)}}^2(\tilde{\Sigma}_{(\xi,\lambda)}) - 2 \, \text{\rm vol}_{\tilde{g}_{(\xi,\lambda)}}(\tilde{\Sigma}_{(\xi,\lambda)}) \Big ) \Big |_{\xi=\bar{\xi}} \\
&= \frac{\partial^2}{\partial \xi_i \, \partial \xi_j} \Big ( \mathscr{H}_{\tilde{g}_{(\xi,\lambda)}}^2(\tilde{\Sigma}_{(\bar{\xi},\lambda)}) - 2 \, \text{\rm vol}_{\tilde{g}_{({\xi},\lambda)}}(\tilde{\Sigma}_{(\bar{\xi},\lambda)}) \Big ) \Big |_{\xi=\bar{\xi}} + O(\lambda^{-2}) \\
&= 4\lambda^{-1} \int_{\partial B_1(0)} (|\xi+y|^{-3} \, \delta_{ij} - 3 \, |\xi+y|^{-5} \, (\xi_i+y_i) \, (\xi_j+y_j)) \\
&- 12\lambda^{-1} \int_{B_1(0)} (|\xi+y|^{-3} \, \delta_{ij} - 3 \, |\xi+y|^{-5} \, (\xi_i+y_i) \, (\xi_j+y_j)) + O(\lambda^{-2}) \\
&= O(\lambda^{-2}).

Throughout this section, we will assume that $R \geq -o(|x|^{-4})$. It follows from (\ref{expansiong}) that the scalar curvature of $g$ is given by
\[R = \sum_{i,j=1}^3 (D_i D_j T_{ij} - D_i D_i T_{jj}) + O(|x|^{-5}).\]
The condition $R \geq -o(|x|^{-4})$ is equivalent to the inequality
\begin{equation}
\label{T}
\sum_{i,j=1}^3 (D_i D_j T_{ij} - D_i D_i T_{jj}) \geq 0.
\end{equation}

\begin{proposition}
\label{nonnegative.scalar.curvature}
Let $\xi \in \mathbb{R}^3$ be such that $|\xi| > 1$. If $T$ satisfies (\ref{T}), then
\[\frac{d}{ds} \bigg ( \int_{\partial B_1(s\xi)} \text{\rm tr}_S(T) - 2 \int_{B_1(s\xi)} \text{\rm tr}_{\mathbb{R}^3}(T) \bigg ) \bigg |_{s=1} \geq 0.\]
\end{proposition}

\textbf{Proof.}
Let
\[G(s) = \int_{\partial B_1(s\xi)} \text{\rm tr}_S(T) - 2 \int_{B_1(s\xi)} \text{\rm tr}_{\mathbb{R}^3}(T)\]
and
\[K(s) = \int_{B_1(s\xi)} \sum_{i,j=1}^3 (D_i D_j T_{ij} - D_i D_i T_{jj}).\]
By assumption, $K(s)$ is nonnegative, and we have
\[K(s) \leq \int_{B_s(s\xi)} \sum_{i,j=1}^3 (D_i D_j T_{ij} - D_i D_i T_{jj}) = K(1) / s \]
for all $s \geq 1$.

Using the divergence theorem, we obtain
\begin{align*}
K(s) &= \int_{\partial B_1(s\xi)} \sum_{a=1}^2 \big ( (D_{e_a} T)(e_a,\nu) - (D_\nu T)(e_a,e_a) \big ) \\
&= \int_{\partial B_1(s\xi)} \bigg ( 2 \, T(\nu,\nu) - \sum_{a=1}^2 T(e_a,e_a) - \sum_{a=1}^2 (D_\nu T)(e_a,e_a) \bigg ) \\
&= \int_{\partial B_1(s\xi)} \big ( 2 \, \text{\rm tr}_{\mathbb{R}^3}(T) - 3 \, \text{\rm tr}_S(T) - \text{\rm tr}_S(D_\nu T) \big ).
\end{align*}
We next observe that
\[\frac{d}{ds} \bigg ( \int_{\partial B_1(s\xi)} \text{\rm tr}_S(T) \bigg ) = \int_{\partial B_1(s\xi)} \text{\rm tr}_S(D_\xi T)\]
and
\[\frac{d}{ds} \bigg ( \int_{B_1(s\xi)} \text{\rm tr}_{\mathbb{R}^3}(T) \bigg ) = \int_{B_1(s\xi)} \text{\rm tr}_{\mathbb{R}^3}(D_\xi T) = \int_{\partial B_1(s\xi)} \text{\rm tr}_{\mathbb{R}^3}(T) \, \langle \xi,\nu \rangle.\]
Since $T$ is homogeneous of degree $-2$, the radial derivative of $T$ satisfies $D_x T = -2 \, T$ by Euler's theorem. Putting these facts together, we obtain
\begin{align*}
s \, G'(s)
&= \int_{\partial B_1(s\xi)} \text{\rm tr}_S(D_{s\xi} T) - 2 \int_{\partial B_1(s\xi)} \text{\rm tr}_{\mathbb{R}^3}(T) \, \langle s\xi,\nu \rangle \\
&= \int_{\partial B_1(s\xi)} \text{\rm tr}_S(D_x T) - 2 \int_{\partial B_1(s\xi)} \text{\rm tr}_{\mathbb{R}^3}(T) \, \langle x,\nu \rangle \\
&- \int_{\partial B_1(s\xi)} \text{\rm tr}_S(D_\nu T) + 2 \int_{\partial B_1(s\xi)} \text{\rm tr}_{\mathbb{R}^3}(T) \\
&= \int_{\partial B_1(s\xi)} \text{\rm tr}_S(D_x T) - 2 \int_{B_1(s\xi)} (\text{\rm tr}_{\mathbb{R}^3}(D_x T) + 3 \, \text{\rm tr}_{\mathbb{R}^3}(T)) \\
&- \int_{\partial B_1(s\xi)} \text{\rm tr}_S(D_\nu T) + 2 \int_{\partial B_1(s\xi)} \text{\rm tr}_{\mathbb{R}^3}(T) \\
&= -2 \int_{\partial B_1(s\xi)} \text{\rm tr}_S(T) - 2 \int_{B_1(s\xi)} \text{\rm tr}_{\mathbb{R}^3}(T) \\
&- \int_{\partial B_1(s\xi)} \text{\rm tr}_S(D_\nu T) + 2 \int_{\partial B_1(s\xi)} \text{\rm tr}_{\mathbb{R}^3}(T) \\
&= G(s) + K(s)
\end{align*}
for all $s \geq 1$. Here, $\nu = x - s\xi$ denotes the outward-pointing unit normal vector along the sphere $\partial B_1(s\xi)$.

Since $K(s) \leq K(1)/s$, it follows that the function $G(s)/2 + K(1) / ( 2s^2)$ is monotone decreasing in $s$. Since $G(s) /s  +  K(1) / (2 s^2) \to 0$ as $s \to \infty$, we conclude that
\[G(1) + K(1)/2 \geq 0.\]
Since $K(1) \geq 0$, it follows that
\[G'(1) = G(1) + K(1) \geq 0,\]
as claimed. \\

\begin{corollary}
\label{radial.derivative}
Assume that $T$ satisfies (\ref{T}). Then we have
\[\frac{d}{ds} F(s\xi) \Big |_{s=1} \geq 32 \, |\xi|^2 \log \frac{|\xi|^2-1}{|\xi|^2} + (15 \, |\xi|+|\xi|^{-1}) \log \frac{|\xi|+1}{|\xi|-1} + 2 \, \frac{|\xi|^2+1}{|\xi|^2-1},\]
where $F(\xi)$ is defined by (\ref{definition.of.F}).
\end{corollary}

\textbf{Proof.}
From the definition of $F$, we have that
\begin{align*}
\frac{d}{ds} F(s\xi) \Big |_{s=1}
&= 32 \, |\xi|^2 \log \frac{|\xi|^2-1}{|\xi|^2} + (15 \, |\xi|+|\xi|^{-1}) \log \frac{|\xi|+1}{|\xi|-1} + 2 \, \frac{|\xi|^2+1}{|\xi|^2-1} \\
&+ \frac{1}{4\pi} \, \frac{d}{ds} \bigg ( \int_{\partial B_1(s\xi)} \text{\rm tr}_S(T) - 2 \int_{B_1(s\xi)} \text{\rm tr}_{\mathbb{R}^3}(T) \bigg ) \bigg |_{s=1}.
\end{align*}
The assertion now follows from Proposition \ref{nonnegative.scalar.curvature}.

\section{Proof of Theorem \ref{thm2}}

We argue by contradiction. Suppose that $\lim_{x \to \infty} |x|^4 \, R(x) \geq 0$. Let $\Sigma^{(n)}$ be a sequence of outlying stable constant mean curvature surfaces such that $\rho_{\Sigma^{(n)}} \to \infty$ and $H_{\Sigma^{(n)}} \to 0$. Let $r_n:= 2 /  H_{\Sigma^{(n)}}$. By assumption, we have that
\[\lim_{n \to \infty}  \rho_{\Sigma^{(n)}} / r_n = \lim_{n \to \infty} H_{\Sigma^{(n)}} \, \rho_{\Sigma^{(n)}} /2= a \in (0,\infty).\]
Consider the metrics $g^{(n)} := r_n^{-2} \, \varphi_n^* g$ where $\varphi_n : \mathbb{R}^3 \to \mathbb{R}^3$ is the homothety $x \mapsto r_n x$. The rescaled metrics $g^{(n)}$ converge to the Euclidean metric $\sum_{i=1}^3 dx_i \otimes dx_i$ away from the origin. The mean curvature of the surfaces $r_n^{-1} \, \Sigma^{(n)}$ with respect to $g^{(n)}$ is equal to $2$. The second fundamental forms of these surfaces and their derivatives are uniformly bounded by Proposition 2.2 in \cite{Eichmair-Metzger2}. Using compactness arguments for immersions with bounded geometry as in \cite{Cooper} we may extract a subsequence that converges to a stable constant mean curvature immersion with mean curvature $2$ in $\mathbb{R}^3$. Such an immersion is a unit sphere by results of B.~Palmer \cite{Palmer}; see also \cite{daSilveira} and \cite{Lopez-Ros}. To summarize, a subsequence of the rescaled surfaces $r_n^{-1} \, \Sigma^{(n)}$ converges to a unit sphere $\partial B_1(\bar{\xi})$ where $|\bar{\xi}| = 1 + a$. It follows that $\Sigma^{(n)}$ is a perturbation of a coordinate sphere when $n$ is sufficiently large and thus arises in our Lyapunov-Schmidt reduction. More precisely, we may write $\Sigma^{(n)} = \Sigma_{(\xi_n,\lambda_n)}$ where $\lim_{n \to \infty} \xi_n \to \bar{\xi}$ and $\lim_{n \to \infty} r_n / \lambda_n \to 1$.

We claim that this setup leads to a contradiction. To see this, let $\Omega$ denote the open ball centered at $\bar{\xi}$ of radius $a/2$. Clearly, $\xi_n$ lies in the interior of $\Omega$ if $n$ is sufficiently large, and we have $\bar{\Omega} \cap \bar{B}_1(0) = \emptyset$. We define a function $F_\lambda: \Omega \to \mathbb{R}$ by
\[F_\lambda(\xi) = \frac{1}{2 \pi} \left( \mathscr{H}_g^2(\Sigma_{(\xi,\lambda)}) - 4 \pi \lambda^2 \right).\]
Since $\Sigma^{(n)}$ has constant mean curvature, it follows that $\xi_n$ is a critical point of the function $F_{\lambda_n}$.

By Proposition \ref{expansion.for.area}, we have $\|F_\lambda - F\|_{C^0(\Omega)} \to 0$ as $\lambda \to \infty$. Moreover, Proposition \ref{technical} implies that $\|F_\lambda\|_{C^2(\Omega)} \leq C$ for some constant $C$ that is independent of $\lambda > 0$. Putting these facts together, we conclude that $\|F_\lambda - F\|_{C^1(\Omega)} \to 0$ as $\lambda \to \infty$. Using Corollary \ref{radial.derivative}, we obtain that
\[\frac{d}{ds} F_\lambda(s\xi) \Big |_{s=1} \geq 32 \, |\xi|^2 \log \frac{|\xi|^2-1}{|\xi|^2} + (15 \, |\xi|+|\xi|^{-1}) \log \frac{|\xi|+1}{|\xi|-1} + 2 \, \frac{|\xi|^2+1}{|\xi|^2-1} - o(1)\]
for all $\xi \in \Omega$. On the other hand, it is elementary to see that
\[32 \, |\xi|^2 \log \frac{|\xi|^2-1}{|\xi|^2} + (15 \, |\xi|+|\xi|^{-1}) \log \frac{|\xi|+1}{|\xi|-1} + 2 \, \frac{|\xi|^2+1}{|\xi|^2-1} > 0\]
for all $\xi \in \mathbb{R}^3$ with $|\xi| > 1$.\footnote{Note that if the left-hand side were negative for some $\xi >1$, then we could turn the argument around and conclude the existence of closed constant mean curvature surfaces in the Schwarzschild manifold that are disjoint from the horizon. This would contradict results in \cite{Brendle2}.} Thus
\[\inf_{\xi \in \Omega} \Big ( 32 \, |\xi|^2 \log \frac{|\xi|^2-1}{|\xi|^2} + (15 \, |\xi|+|\xi|^{-1}) \log \frac{|\xi|+1}{|\xi|-1} + 2 \, \frac{|\xi|^2+1}{|\xi|^2-1} \Big ) > 0.\]
Hence, if we choose $\lambda>0$ sufficiently large, we have that
\[\frac{d}{ds} F_\lambda(s\xi) \Big |_{s=1} > 0\]
for all points $\xi \in \Omega$. In particular, if $\lambda$ is large enough, then the function $F_\lambda$ has no critical points in $\Omega$. This contradicts the fact that $\xi_n$ is a critical point of the function $F_{\lambda_n}$.

\section{Proof of Theorem \ref{thm1}}

We now construct a metric $g$ that admits a one-parameter family of outlying stable constant mean curvature spheres. Throughout this section, we let $v = (0,0,1) \in \mathbb{R}^3$ and we consider the function
\[I(s) = \int_{\partial B_1(sv)} |x|^{-2} \, (1 - 3 \, (x_3-s))^2\]
for $s>1$. Let us fix a real number $s_0 \in [2,\infty)$ such that $I'(s_0) \neq 0$.

\begin{lemma}
\label{a}
There exists a smooth function $\psi: \mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R}$ such that the function
\[ \xi \mapsto  \int_{\partial B_1(\xi)} |x|^{-2} \, \psi(x_3/|x|) \, (1 - 3 \, (x_3-\xi_3)^2),\]
has a strict local minimum at some point $\xi \in \mathbb{R}^3$ with $|\xi|>1$.
\end{lemma}

\textbf{Proof.}
Let $t_0 = \sqrt{1- s_0^{-2} }$. Consider the smooth function
\[\varphi_k(t) = \begin{cases} e^{-\frac{4}{k \, (t_0-t)+1}} & \text{\rm if $t < t_0+\frac{1}{k}$} \\ 0 & \text{\rm if $t \geq t_0+\frac{1}{k}$}. \end{cases}\]
Note that $\sup_{t \geq t_0} |\varphi_k(t)| \leq 1$ and $\sup_{t \geq t_0} |\varphi_k'(t)| = O(k)$. We also define the function
\[J_k(s) = \int_{\partial B_1(sv)} |x|^{-2} \, \varphi_k(x_3 / |x|) \, (1 - 3 \, (x_3-s)^2).\]
Note that $x_3 / |x| \geq t_0$ for all $x \in B_1(s_0 v)$. It follows that $|J_k(s_0)| = O(1)$ and $|J_k'(s_0)| = O(k)$. Hence, if we define
\[a_k := \frac{J_k'(s_0)}{I'(s_0)},\]
then $|a_k| = O(k)$.

We next define a smooth function $\psi_k$ by $\psi_k(t) = \varphi_k(t) - a_k$. Moreover, we define
\[Q_k(\xi) = \int_{\partial B_1(\xi)} |x|^{-2} \, \psi_k(x_3 / |x|) \, (1 - 3 \, (x_3-\xi_3)^2).\]
Clearly, $Q_k(sv) = J_k(s) - a_k \, I(s)$ for all $s$. This implies that
\[\frac{d}{ds} Q_k(sv) \big |_{s=s_0} = J_k'(s_0) - a_k \, I'(s_0) = 0\]
by definition of $a_k$. It follows that the point $s_0  v$ is a critical point of the function $Q_k$.

We claim that the function $Q_k$ has a strict local minimum at the point $s_0 v$ if $k$ is sufficiently large. To see this, we examine the Hessian of the function $Q_k$ at the point $s_0 v$. For abbreviation, let
\[U_k := \{x \in \partial B_1(s_0 v): x_3 / |x| \in [t_0,t_0+1/k]\}\]
and
\[V_k := \{x \in \partial B_1(s_0 v): x_3 / |x| \in [t_0, t_0+1/(2k)]\}.\]
We have that
\begin{align*}
&\frac{\partial^2}{\partial \xi_i \, \partial \xi_j} Q_k \Big |_{\xi=s_0 v} \\
&= \int_{U_k} |x|^{-8} \, \varphi_k''(x_3 / |x|) \, (|x|^2 \, \delta_{i3} - x_i \, x_3) \, (|x|^2 \, \delta_{j3} - x_j \, x_3) \, (1 - 3 \, (x_3-s_0)^2) + O(k).
\end{align*}
For every point $x \in U_k$ we have $1 - 3 \, (x_3-s_0)^2 \geq 1/4$ and $\varphi_k''(x_3 / |x|) \geq 0$. Moreover, we have $\varphi_k''( x_3 / |x|) \geq c \, k^2$ for all $x \in V_k$. The measure of $V_k$ is bounded below by $c \, k^{-1/2 }$. It follows that
\begin{align*}
\frac{\partial^2}{\partial \xi_3^2} Q_k \Big |_{\xi=s_0 v}
&= \int_{U_k} |x|^{-8} \, \varphi_k''(x_3 / |x|) \, (x_1^2+x_2^2)^2 \, (1 - 3 \, (x_3-s_0)^2) + O(k) \\
&\geq \int_{V_k} |x|^{-8} \, \varphi_k''(x_3 / |x|) \, (x_1^2+x_2^2)^2 \, (1 - 3 \, (x_3-s_0)^2) + O(k) \\
&\geq c \, k^{3/2} - O(k)
\end{align*}
for some $c >0$. A similar calculation gives that
\begin{align*}
&\frac{\partial^2}{\partial \xi_1^2} Q_k \Big |_{\xi=s_0 v} = \frac{\partial^2}{\partial \xi_2^2} Q_k \Big |_{\xi=s_0 v} \\
&= \int_{U_k} |x|^{-8} \, \varphi_k''(x_3 / |x|) \, (x_1^2+x_2^2) \, x_3^2 \, (1 - 3 \, (x_3-s_0)^2) /2 + O(k) \\
&\geq \int_{V_k} |x|^{-8} \, \varphi_k''(x_3 / |x|) \, (x_1^2+x_2^2) \, x_3^2 \, (1 - 3 \, (x_3-s_0)^2) /2 + O(k) \\
&\geq c \, k^{3/2} - O(k)
\end{align*}
for some $c>0$. Moreover, since $Q_k$ is axially symmetric, we know that the Hessian of $Q_k$ at the point $s_0 v$ is a diagonal matrix. It follows that the Hessian of $Q_k$ at $s_0 v$ is positive definite if $k$ is sufficiently large.  \\

\begin{lemma}
\label{b}
There exists a smooth function $\psi: \mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R}$ such that the function
\begin{align*}
\xi \mapsto &-28\pi + 32\pi \, |\xi|^2 \log \frac{|\xi|^2-1}{|\xi|^2} + 2\pi \, (15 \, |\xi| - |\xi|^{-1}) \, \log \frac{|\xi|+1}{|\xi|-1} \\
&+ \int_{\partial B_1(\xi)} |x|^{-2} \, \psi(x_3 / |x|) \, (1 - 3 \, (x_3-\xi_3)^2)
\end{align*}
has a strict local minimum at some point $\xi$ with $|\xi|>1$.
\end{lemma}

\textbf{Proof.}
Multiply the function $\psi$ from Lemma \ref{a} by a large positive constant.  \\

Let $\psi$ be as in Lemma \ref{b}. We define a Riemannian metric $g$ by
\[g = (1 + |x|^{-1})^4 \sum_{i=1}^3 dx_i \otimes dx_i + T\]
where
\[T = -2 \, |x|^{-2} \, \psi(x_3 / |x|) \, (dx_1 \otimes dx_1 + dx_2 \otimes dx_2 - 2 \, dx_3 \otimes dx_3).\]
Note that the components of $T$ are homogeneous functions of degree $-2$ and that $\text{\rm tr}_{\mathbb{R}^3}(T) = 0$. Using Proposition \ref{expansion.for.area}, we find that
\begin{align*}
&\mathscr{H}_g^2(\Sigma_{(\xi,\lambda)}) - 4\pi \, \lambda^2 \\
&= -28\pi + 32\pi \, |\xi|^2 \log \frac{|\xi|^2-1}{|\xi|^2} + 2\pi \, (15 \, |\xi| - |\xi|^{-1}) \, \log \frac{|\xi|+1}{|\xi|-1} \\
&+ \frac{1}{2} \int_{\partial B_1(\xi)} \text{\rm tr}_S(T) + o(1) \\
&= -28\pi + 32\pi \, |\xi|^2 \log \frac{|\xi|^2-1}{|\xi|^2} + 2\pi \, (15 \, |\xi| - |\xi|^{-1}) \, \log \frac{|\xi|+1}{|\xi|-1} \\
&+ \int_{\partial B_1(\xi)} |x|^{-2} \, \psi(x_3 / |x|) \, (1 - 3 \, (x_3-\xi_3)^2) + o(1).
\end{align*}
Hence, if $\lambda$ is sufficiently large, the function
\[\xi \mapsto \mathscr{H}_g^2(\Sigma_{(\xi,\lambda)}) - 4\pi \, \lambda^2\]
attains a local minimum at some point $\xi$ with $|\xi|>1$. Consequently, the surface $\Sigma_{(\xi, \lambda)}$ corresponding to this particular value of $\xi$ is an outlying stable constant mean curvature sphere. This finishes the proof of Theorem \ref{thm1}.

Not too long ago, conventional wisdom said that using credit cards for everyday purchases such as groceries or gas was a warning sign of serious financial problems. But reward credit cards have changed the way many Americans think about and use their cards. Obviously, people continue to use debit cards or cash to pay for everyday items but the biggest question now is "Why?".
Paying for the necessities of life is not as exciting as purchasing new clothes or a vacation but why not take advantage of all those ordinary (and frequent) purchases and let them earn you cash back or reward points? Let's say your grocery budget is around $400 a month and you use a rewards card that earns you 6% back at grocery stores – you can be earning $24 a month in rewards. The Blue Cash Card from American Express is a good example. While that may not seem like a huge monthly amount, annually it adds up to $288.
If you're looking for a good rewards card for everyday purchases, consider the following – and be sure to check out our full reviews for in-depth information.
The Blue Cash American Express card offers cardholders generous rewards at the following rates: 6% back at U.S. supermarkets (capped at $6,000 per year with amounts over this earning 1%), unlimited 3% cash back at U.S. gas stations and certain U.S. department stores. All other purchases earn 1% cash back. As a new member, you can earn a $150 statement credit by making at least $1,000 in purchases during the first three months that your account is open. The card also offers a 0% introductory APR on purchases and balance transfers for the first 15 billing cycles. There is an annual fee of $75.
BOFA's Cash Rewards Visa delivers solid rewards on gas and grocery purchases along with no annual fee. Card members earn 2% at grocery stores and 3% at gas stations with a $1,500 combined spending cap per quarter. Any amounts over this earn 1% cash back as do all other purchases made on the card. Bank of America currently has an online-only offer where new members can earn a $100 cash rewards bonus when you spend at least $500 on purchases within the first 90 days that your account is active. Rewards that are redeemed into a BofA checking or savings account also earn an additional 10% bonus. This card comes with a 0% introductory APR on purchases and balance transfers for the first 12 billing cycles. Note: Balance transfers must be completed within 60 days from the date your account is opened.
Discover it offers cash back in categories that change quarterly. From now through December 31st, members earn 5% cash back on all purchases from department stores, Amazon.com, and clothing stores, as well as 1% cash back on all other purchases. New members will also receive double the cash back they've earned at the end of their first year. So if you earn $150 by the end of December, Discover it will automatically double your reward to $300. This card has no annual fee and offers a 0% introductory APR on purchases and balance transfers for the first 12 months that your account is open.

Kindle Apps Blur the Line Between Gadgets
Amazon is making some aggressive moves to defend the dominance of the Kindle as an e-reader, while also expanding its functionality to fend off competition from other gadgets. Following the news that Amazon is introducing a new royalty plan for Kindle authors, Amazon has also released the KDK (Kindle Development Kit) to enable developers to create apps for the device.
The success of the Amazon Kindle has legitimized the concept of an electronic book-reading gadget and led to an explosion of competing devices like the Barnes and Noble Nook, and the Sony Reader. The spike in e-reader interest combined with some strategic mis-steps by its competitors over the holiday season, helped Kindle to become the most gifted item in Amazon history.
Emerging gadgets threaten to make the e-reader concept obsolete very quickly, though. Smartbooks, netbooks, and tablet PC's all provide a more complete computing experience on gadgets with form factors that are similar in both portability and cost to the current portfolio of e-readers.
Even after recent competitive price cuts, the Kindle and the Nook are both $259. Some e-readers, like the Plastic Logic Que proReader, retail for almost $800. With netbooks starting under $300, and tablet PC's entering the market under $1000--some as low as $200, it will be difficult for users to justify investing in a gadget that only reads books.
The biggest challenge--because the form factor is essentially the same-- comes from tablet PC's. Users are unlikely to invest $300 in an electronic book reader, when a similar investment can get them a device that is the same size and shape, can also read a wide array of electronic books, and provides additional computing and communications capabilities not found in e-readers.
The mythic Apple tablet PC--which may or may not exist, and may or may not be unveiled at a major press event Apple is holding next week--is rumored to be many things. Recent speculation, however, has focused around it being essentially a super-sized iPhone delivering Apple's library of over 100,000 apps on a 10-inch touchscreen display. Or, maybe it doesn't exist at all, or it will be something else entirely. I guess we'll find out next week.
The Amazon KDK, and Amazon's efforts to woo developers to create apps for the Kindle, seem like a bold attempt to stay one step ahead of the curve and avoid premature obsolescence. Apps won't transform the Kindle into a tablet PC, but they will expand the functionality of the device--blurring the line between what we expect from the various gadgets, and delivering a more comprehensive experience on an established platform at a competitive price.
Where the Kindle will still fall short of tablet PC's, or the Apple iSlate (iTablet, iMyth, or whatever it will be called if it exists), is that it relies on a black and white electronic ink display. That is great when trying to emulate the paperback or newspaper reading experience, while also preserving battery life. However, it doesn't offer a very appealing platform for apps and other functionality.
Amazon has managed to establish the e-reader concept, and achieve market dominance with the Kindle. The emerging array of gadgets--e-readers, as well as tablets, smartbooks, and netbooks--will challenge Amazon, but the established base of Kindle-users gives Amazon a lot to work with in trying to expand the functionality and lifespan of the device.

Assessment Center Blog – Women Building History: Lee Ellen Ramsey
By Liz McDonald, Assessment Center Editor
Lee Ellen Ramsey, Assessment Center Project Coordinator
To round out our #womenbuildinghistory series, we would be remiss if we neglected our own! You may not know, but our Assessment Center team is full of vibrant women. We want to take a moment to highlight Lee Ellen Ramsey, one of our Project Coordinators. Lee Ellen hails from Tuscaloosa, Alabama (Roll Tide!) and has worked at ICC for 11 years. She wears many hats in her role as Project Coordinator, one of which many of us did not know about until she put her skills to work. We sat down with Lee Ellen to talk about her background in Interior Design and Architecture and how she has helped transform some key spaces in the Birmingham office to make work a little more functional and cheerful for all.
Building an Education Up to the Code Council
Inspired by the design and beauty of the built environment, Lee Ellen started as an Architecture major at Mississippi State. "As I got further into my studies, I decided that I wanted to focus on the inside of buildings rather than the structure, so I changed my major to Interior Design. Fortunately, this major is offered at the University of Alabama, so I went back home to complete my degree in this field. My combined education in Architecture and Interior Design created a particular curriculum that has given me a very unique perspective."
Her educational background was no doubt a natural path that led her to ICC. Lee Ellen impressed the importance of building safety coupled with her passion: Universal Design. "That's designing spaces for people regardless of age, physical limitations or other factors. Everyone deserves a beautiful space, despite his or her personal circumstances. Building safety is a huge part of that."
From Mission to Vision: Building a Space of Beauty and Collaboration
While interior design is not a part of her position at the Assessment Center, she still holds true to the mission of ICC in her daily work. "I thoroughly enjoy the work that we do in the Assessment Center, and I have always embraced the consistent changes and upgrades that we as a department provide for the company, our members and our candidates. Every day is different, and I like that."
It was through her work in following the mission of ICC that inspired her to use her design skills in renovating the Certification and Testing Department. Even inside ICC's staff spaces, she envisioned areas that would encourage group work, brainstorming, fellowship and creative thinking. "I firmly believe that workspace has a direct effect on work output. As the designer of the space, I am sincerely proud to be a part of improving the culture of our work in the Assessment Center."
Assessment Center iLab
The new space has fostered collaborative discussion and has provided a comfortable work environment. The team uses a SMART Board to walk through our processes and openly discuss improvements. Some meetings are held on the couch so that conversation is natural rather than scripted. Local Birmingham art surrounding the area reminds us of our city.
Lee Ellen's success in the Assessment Center design has opened new doors. She has recently been redesigning the Birmingham office's lobby as well as the CEO meeting suite. "I am excited about these updates as I believe they will provide a positive impression for clients and potential members. I'm happy to be a part of the ICC team, and even more happy to be a part of its success."

Getting to Know Kyle Sell
By Kathleen Hoffelder, NJCPA Content Editor – May 29, 2019
When a former partner told Kyle Sell, CPA, MBA, a Deloitte & Touche LLP audit partner, who was then an audit manager, that he needed to get more involved and carry the torch for his organization and other Big Fours at the NJCPA, he took that to heart and did just that. More than 15 years later, after serving on numerous committees as chair, vice chair and president, Kyle will become the 2019/20 president of the NJCPA on June 1.
He remembers meeting NJCPA CEO and executive director Ralph Albert Thomas, CPA (DC), CGMA, for the first time in 2008, noting "one of the first questions Ralph had asked me when I had lunch with him was 'what can the NJCPA do for you?'" At that time, Kyle didn't have a good answer, but he does now. "I have taken it upon myself to continually ask that question and see what the Society can do for its members, and what it can do for young professionals," he explains.
Kyle has made assisting the next generation of CPAs a focal point of his service at NJCPA, and he plans to continue that effort as president. "I know at times it can be a challenge to get representation and really good involvement from the Big Four" he explains, which is why he has actively served on NJCPA Student Programs & Scholarships Committee and the Scholarship Fund.
"I try to find good opportunities to get our younger members involved," he says, noting that he is very open minded in his thinking. The Society and other accounting associations "provide a great environment in which to learn and become broader business professionals," he explains. "We spend so much time internally focused on serving clients and developing our skillsets, but sometimes we don't spend as much time with our young professionals thinking about community, networking, leadership or how to open our eyes to other things."
As president, he aims to change all that. As he explains, more seasoned accounting executives should help to inform younger professionals about choosing this career path and how to enhance that experience. "Having the opportunity to interview high school seniors for college scholarships is probably one of the most rewarding things I've done at the NJCPA," explains Kyle. "To sit across from a high school student and find a way to financially help them but also give them some guidance and direction is a great and rewarding experience."
Kyle also gives back to his alma mater, Lafayette College, where he obtained his B.A. in economics and business with a concentration in accounting. He goes back once a year to teach a session on corporate governance and to explain the ins and the outs of an accounting career. "I do a two-hour seminar once a year and talk about the impact we as CPAs have in the boardroom and with our clients," he says.
Kyle continues to notice some challenges in the profession, however, which he will look to focus on. Diversity and inclusion, he says, is one area that needs more attention. Accounting professionals are increasingly asked by clients, "why don't we see a more diverse and well-represented team?" The Deloitte Women's Leadership Initiative, for example, is a huge part of the Deloitte culture, which he says should be duplicated elsewhere with other inclusion councils. He believes we should foster a culture built around inclusiveness. He also has constant reminders about gender equity as he and his wife, Jocelyn, raise four daughters, ages 12 to 18.

Boy Rescued From Harbour.
Five-year-old Wm. Watt, of 29 Cunninghame Road, Saltcoats, was rescued from drowning at Saltcoats Harbour yesterday (Thursday). His rescuer was George Kelly, of 67. Manse Street.
The boy had been playing with companions on the rocks at the end of the harbour when he fell into the water. The alarm was raised by his playmates and Kelly entered the water and succeeded in bringing the boy ashore. The boy recovered after artificial respiration had been applied.

21 Months For Whisky Thief
A Sentence of 21 months imprisonment was passed at Kilmarnock Sheriff Court on Monday on a Glasgow man who stole whisky and cigarettes valued at £335 from the Argyle Bar, Canal Street, Saltcoats, between 13th and 15th September.
The accused man was James Martin Smith, 106 George Street. The goods named in the charge were two jars of whisky, each containing six gallons, 106 bottles of whisky, and 1480 cigarettes. Smith admitted seven previous convictions.
The fiscal, Mr James Brown, said that a police constable on duty near the Argyle Bar in the early hours of the morning found two men carrying something out of a cellar in the Bar. He shone his torch on them whereupon they dropped what they were carrying (it turned out to be a box of whisky) and rushed back into the cellar, locking the door.
The constable summoned assistance, the bar was surrounded and Smith gave himself up. Some of the whisky was found lying at the entry to the cellar.
A statement written by Smith on his own behalf was handed to the Sheriff, Mr G. Cormack Cohen. Smith asked the Sheriff not to divulge what was in the statement and said he had been in prison for the past ten weeks.
Note: According to posts in the topic Miner's Home/Maple Leaf Hotel It was at one time named Argyle Bar.

I wonder what the value of that haul would be nowadays. A lot of sore heads there.

According to the Bank of England's inflation calculator, £335 in 1952 is the equivalent of £7667 today.

Nissen Huts To Go
Saltcoats Town Council has been granted a special allocation of 30 houses on condition that they are used directly or indirectly for rehousing families at present occupying the nissen huts at Dalry Road and High Road. Another condition is that the huts are to be demolished immediately after they are vacated.

PC201 James Lawson lived at 59 Corrie Crescent, Saltcoats. My family stayed at 47. Jimmy was married to Cathy had a daughter Catherine and son Campbell. There was two 'police houses' side by side the Mc Larens at 57.

Would that be Sargent Lawson ?- stayed at one time in the Saltcoats high flats?
Post by Penny Tray » Sun Jan 29, 2023 1:21 pm
Meekan,
I left this topic in case 'douglaslsutherland' wanted to come back in. Constable Jimmy Lawson, who lived in a 'police house' at 59 Corrie Crescent, did move to either Lambie Court or O'connor Court when he retired. Incidentally, I don't think he was ever Sergeant Lawson. He had all his promotion qualifications and was a very competent officer, but maybe elected not to accept promotion because to do so in those days inevitably meant moving from one police house to another (not always a better one), and from one town to another. It could be Saltcoats to Girvan in the snap of a finger. The big consideration for many officers was the desire not to disturb their children's schooling. And, having said this, the Chief Constable could still have transferred Jimmy from Saltcoats to Girvan as a constable. Declining promotion wasn't risk-free.
I could be wrong but I'm sure three guys started the same day Arthur Miles, Jack Wharton and Jimmy Lawson. Arthur Miles became Superintendent, Jack Wharton and Jimmy Lawson became sergeants. Jack and Arthur both worked in Volvo latterly where I worked and Jimmy some how was friendly with my late brother not sure where that connection came from maybe the church.

Arthur Miles was definitely a Chief Inspector. I might be wrong but I don't remember either Jimmy Lawson or Jack Wharton being sergeants.
