Q: Anagram solution using json.stringify, is this a right approach to solve I have sorted out two string and than used json.stringify to compare it to get Anagram. please refer below code, is this a right way to code.
function same(ar, ar1) {
  //sorting the string
  var o = ar.split("").sort();
  var o1 = ar1.split("").sort();
  //comparing two string
  if (JSON.stringify(o) == JSON.stringify(o1)) {
    return true;
  } else {
    return false;
  }
}
same("ria", "air"); //true
same("", ""); //true
same("aaz", zza); //false

A: It'll work in most cases, but it's unnecessarily computationally expensive.
It may not work when certain non-ASCII characters are used, because .split('') will result in splitting up the character code points, eg:

console.log(''.split(''));

That's not an accurate representation of each character as an element of the array. Use Array.from instead:

console.log(Array.from(''));

After that, you can also make the algorithm less expensive by counting up the number of occurrences of each character (O(n)) rather than sorting (O(n log n)). For example:

const getCount = str => Array.from(str).reduce((counts, char) => {
  counts[char] = (counts[char] || 0) + 1;
  return counts;
}, {});

function same(ar,ar1){
  const counts1 = getCount(ar);
  const counts2 = getCount(ar1);
  const keys1 = Object.keys(counts1);
  const keys2 = Object.keys(counts2);
  if (keys1.length !== keys2.length) {
    return false;
  }
  return keys1.every(char => counts1[char] === counts2[char]);
}
console.log(same('abc', 'cba'));
console.log(same('abc', 'aba'));

According to His story, God spoke all of creation into existence. By His Word He made everything out of nothing... According to His story, God created the heavens, the earth, and every living thing in six days.
While students of the Bible have long debated the meaning of "six days," the assertion that God made the heavens and the earth and all that is in them clearly contradicts the notion that the world is simply the result of a natural evolutionary process.
Evolutionists disagree. They argue that the world was not created by a designer, but evolved from its simple organic beginnings to the complex system of life we know today. But this idea defies a fundamental law of physics: the Second Law of Thermodynamics, which states that in a closed system everything tends toward entropy (decay).1 This technical-sounding declaration basically says that without the intervention of an outside influence or force, everything in the natural world doesn't improve over time – it eventually falls apart!
To make this even clearer, let's revisit Paley's watchmaker illustration from Lesson 7.
Suppose you were walking in a field and you came upon a little pile of watch pieces. Evolution might suggest that one day these random pieces would assemble themselves into a finely–tuned timepiece. Or perhaps they would become a car. The watchmaker metaphor would suggest that without the intervention of a designer those pieces would never just fall together into a working watch. According to the Second Law of Thermodynamics, we would expect those watch pieces to eventually rust and crumble into dust!
Simply put, the notion that this world is the result of a natural evolutionary process asks us to believe that over time, simple things somehow developed into far more complex things. The Second Law of Thermodynamics tells us to expect just the opposite!
What's more, the Bible tells us that God is actually holding the world together now. We find this in Colossians 1:17: "And He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together." Nuclear science has determined that the smallest particles of an atom spin at incomprehensible speeds, but it has yet to find an explanation for what keeps the atom from spinning apart. In Colossians 1:17, the Bible claims that God is the One who holds all things – even the smallest atoms – together.
Considering the attributes of God we have studied this week, do you find it difficult to believe that God could have created the entire world in the manner described in the Bible? Why? Why not?
It has been said that our view of the creation account in the Bible will determine our view of the rest of the Bible. How might this be true? If the biblical creation account is not true, then what would that say about God?
Some people have difficulty accepting the creation account of the Bible. After all, it does seem to defy natural law, and it requires belief in a creative Being whose handiwork can be seen, but whose face cannot. Such belief requires faith, but it does not require blind faith. As we work our way through this study guide and consider and examine the Bible, we will learn that biblical faith is not unreasonable, and it is far from blind.
We have taken a significant amount of time in this study to understand why the Bible is trustworthy. Establishing this gives weight to what the Bible says about the attributes of God. And through what we have learned about the attributes of God, we can better understand how such a God could create the world and everything in it, just as the Bible says He did. This understanding of God's character and nature doesn't eliminate the need for faith, but it does eliminate the need for blind faith.
Many people reject or dismiss the claims of the Bible because they encounter them out of context, without having laid a foundation for faith. The purpose of this study guide is to create a context for understanding the claims of the Bible, to build a foundation for faith, precept upon precept. If you encounter things in this study that are difficult to understand or believe, don't immediately dismiss them. Instead, ask God to strengthen the foundation of your faith, and strive to know Him as He is revealed in His Word.

Q: Failed to open an old iOS project which use AFNetworking enter image description here
I always get these bugs when I open an old project or download a project from the Internet.
Why these bugs get out? And how to fix them?

A: please mention your xcode version and AFNetworking version.
If you are using cocoapod, please do pod update. hope it helps!

A: That project is just expecting AFNetworking in a certain location. Either put AFNetwoking in that location, or remove the reference from the project and re-add it, perhaps through CocoaPods.

A: Why? The guy who added AFNetworking to this project placed this framework outside of project folder (hence the ../../../). It's safe to assume he didn't ship the project together with it, so you have this build error.
How to fix? The easy way is to download AFNetworking and manually include its code in the project yourself. But you should use CocoaPods for those dependencies, like many suggested.

Q: Uniformly analytic functions Consider the following definition:
Let $\Omega$ be an open set of $\mathbb{R}_x^n$, $x = (x_1, ..., x_n)$. A $\mathcal{C}^{\infty}$-function $\varphi(x)$ on $\Omega$ is said to be uniformly analytic on $\Omega$ if it has the following uniform bound:
$$ \exists C>0, \forall \alpha \in \mathbb{N}^n, \sup_{x \in \Omega} {|\partial^{\alpha} \varphi(x)|} \leq C^{|\alpha|+1} |\alpha|!. $$
In the above definition, replace $\mathbb{R}_x^n$ by $\mathbb{C}_x^n$ and consider $\varphi(x)$ to be holomorphic on $\Omega$. Then we get the complex version of the definition of a uniformly analytic function.
My questions are as follows. Please note that they are more confirmatory as I just want to make sure that I've got things right.

*

*Is it true that any uniformly analytic function is analytic?

*Are all complex-analytic functions uniformly analytic? (Of course, I think not; but the situation might be different if $\Omega$ is compact?)

Any other insights you have are welcome. Thank you!

A: For (1), as you stated above, $\phi$ is uniformly analytic on the open set $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^n$ if there exists a constant $C > 0$ such that for any multi-index $\alpha \in \mathbb{N}^n$, we have the bound $\sup_{x \in \Omega} |\partial^{\alpha} \varphi(x) | \leq C^{|\alpha| + 1} |\alpha| !$. Thus, given $K \subset \Omega$ compact, we have that for any multi-index $\alpha$ and point $x \in K$ that
$$
|\partial^{\alpha}\varphi (x) | \leq \sup_{x \in \Omega} |\partial^{\alpha} \varphi(x) | \leq C^{|\alpha| + 1} |\alpha| !,
$$
i.e. $\varphi$ is (real) analytic in $\Omega$.
For (2), I don't believe that complex-analytic functions are necessarily uniformly complex-analytic: take an entire function such as $\varphi(z) = e^z$ defined on $\Omega = \mathbb{C}$, then for any $\alpha \in \mathbb{N}$, $\sup_{z \in \mathbb{C}} |\partial^{\alpha} e^z | = \infty$, so no constant $C > 0$ as above can exist. So at the very least we have to consider holomorphic functions defined on proper subsets of $\mathbb{C}$.


How 'fit' should we be at our age?
Lower yourself into a cross-legged position on the floor without using your hands, and then return to standing.
Rise to stand from a chair without using your hands or arms, and repeat at least 12 times in 30 seconds.

A chat with Pushkin in cafe "At Biron"
—	Certainly, someone tries to play a Trick on me, — thinks Gray-headed man, — is it for sure George who has decided to play this scene with an animator? I already have told him a joke about lunch for two persons. In addition, after my second visit this waiter asked me whom I was waiting for. And then I answered as a joke – for Pushkin. But this was already last winter. Yes, indeed, there is something unusual in this visitor, also he speaks with some strange intonations. But also, he does not look like the animators, whom are walking here to earn something on making photos for tourists. Well, if Pushkin was here by himself would the visitors of museum-room recognize him or they would accept him for ordinary animator, as me him now. And where has he come from? If he came from his apartment, but then there were plenty of tourists, the museum staff, guard. It seems, that in my desire to speak with poet I went too far. Of course, that was a joke, and I accept this animator as real Pushkin.
All these thoughts have appeared in one moment, but somewhere in a corner of the mind lurked a hope of miracle.
—	Who knows maybe he is real… But nobody yet come back from there? And if this is him, then how was he able to come back to our time?
Meanwhile, the visitor ate scrambled eggs and merrily cast a glance on the neighbor.
—	So many things I wanted to ask him, and can't call to my mind something worthwhile. No, of course, he is not real Pushkin. Although, here you are the sideburns, and hair style, and clothes – seemingly everything is real.
To the 70th Anniversary of the Great Victory (1945): Get Rid of Illusions Power!
"About the current moment" №2(118), March 2015
Ides of March in 2015 discovered entirely new period in the history of information wars: it will be characterized by West total lie. Lie (by European Union and its masters) of such scale, that lie by Joseph Goebbels' office of Third Reich will look as innocent child tales in comparison to it. This process of West unprecedented lie stuffing will be aggravated by wide distribution of the Internet through society and the absence of knowledge methodology (i.e. distinguishing truth and lie) in educational systems of both West and East cultures. Information excess (either false or true) in the absence of methodology of mining from this flow information indeed necessary for the society for solving its problems, in the presence of the Internet — is equivalent to full absence of information. This circumstance for the first time raises question "life-death" to mankind. Because there is no white lie, and even the truth, when becoming reckless belief, misleads and conducts to death "zombies" enslaved by it.
It's dangerous to live being captured by illusions. This concerns as conceptions about historic past, and also conceptions about nowadays, on basis of which political course for future has been working out. II World War of 20th century and its component – the Great Patriotic War – take particular place in this problematics, and also — their global political after-effects, which still put pressure on future formation for Europe, Russia and whole mankind. Though these themes in detail can be covered only with "stout books", but the essence of the question can be represented in several brief statements:
Globalization: beginning of a new stage
This note complements contents of the work of IP USSR (Internal Predictor of USSR) 1998-1999 «Sad heritage of Atlantis. Trotskyism is "yesterday", but in no way — "tomorrow"», which is suggested for reading before the current note.

Prospects of globalization in a multiplicity of its concepts
«De-Stalinization»: dead souls at work…
"About the current moment" №1(97), January 2011
Those are the intentions for the future of the bourgeois-liberal public and statesmen. However, before turning to the consideration of the prospects of «de-Stalinization», which became the main ideological problem of state power in the post-Soviet Rusziony, refer to history and literature to understand the spirit of the policy: the imperial before 1917, Stalin's, rusziony's of our days.
In Russian history there are two literary characters and one historical figure, whose sociological views, being powerful over one or another segments of the collective unconscious, had largely determined the events of the past and the prospects of Russia in XXI century. These are the Grand Inquisitor of F.M. Dostoyevsky, the Great Combinator of Ilya Ilf and Yevgeny Petrov and the Pskov's Spaso-Eleazar monastery's monk Filofey (also spelled as Philotheos; years of life approximately: 1465-1542), the first ideologist of the doctrine «Moscow — the Third Rome».

The long-term strategy to overcome Koranic Islam with the help of wheeler — dealers of the Biblical Project
One of the main cultural problem of the global scale for the Biblical project wheeler-dealers is the Koranic Islam.
The very reason of this problem is explained by the fact that the global and political doctrine, the basis for the Western policy, is based on two statements:
The thesis of Judaism predominance over the rest people and the obligation of other people to be tolerant towards them;
The buying up of the whole world with its inhabitants and property on the basis of Jewish corporative transnational monopoly on usury.
In spite of the fact that these statements are not directly mentioned, they are being strictly implemented.
Koran denies the Judaism predominance doctrine over the rest people and the usury is under a strict ban and is characterized as a kind of Satanism. These statements are not practically used in the political life of Muslims, based on the alternative concept different to the Biblical slavery concept , the Western wheeler-dealers understand that Koran – is the potential threat to their global power regime imposition. This explains their desire to leave Koran in its historical legacy.
One of the ways to resolve "the problem of Islam" for the Western wheeler-dealers — is multiway policy:
Global crisis root cause: just economy or biblical culture?
The fact, that nowadays human society and computer networks are both informational sys-tems, allows us to draw analogies between them. As operating system is the core element of any computer network, culture with its norms and values, in the same way, is a key element of any soci-ety. Just as operating system is comprehensive to applications, the culture is comprehensive to eco-nomics of a society. In other words people build their trade networks and maintain their relationships according to cultural norms and moral values deriving from culture. So in order to get to the root of current global malfunction we need to understand the dominating culture, in other words our culture on bible platform.
Architecture of bible-based culture contains several components. The base is encrypted and cannot be accessed by the majority of users/general public. However, to allow resolution of various routine tasks there is an "admin" group with more rights that has access to a console, whose log is translated in a document also known as "Old testament". In order to provide small group of develop-ers with outstanding rights over any common user, the platform provides them with special functional options, which are not documented for informational security reasons. From common user's point of view developers' functions/abilities are often perceived as "MIRACLE". Common user has access only to attractive but functionally limited program shell, which is accessible anywhere in the world, doesn't require specific user skills or knowledge, has friendly interface and allows solving basic tasks. Common users know it as "New testament". To increase number of users and enhance world-wide coverage this program was adapted to national specifics and rebranded as "Orthodox", "Ca-tholicism", "Protestantism", "Socialism" etc. Rights of commercial distribution and management of these brands were transferred to a few closed organizations formed and functioning by same princi-ples as closed corporations. From time to time common users are shown elections of board members and board heads of those corporations.

Philippines: China Deploys The Buoys Of Doom
July 27, 2015: Peace talks with the leftist NPA rebels have been stalled over NPA demands that 30 of their imprisoned leaders be freed first. The recent increase in NPA violence is believed related to the deadlock over these demands. Meanwhile the military and police efforts to defeat the thousands of NPA gunmen continue, mainly because the NPA still regularly uses terrorist methods to raise money (mainly via extortion). Since the start of 2015 year army intelligence believes the NPAs armed strength has been reduced 11 percent (to under 2,900). Islamic terrorists Abu Sayyaf has lost about 20 percent of the 400 armed members it had in January and is seen as a bigger problem than the NPA because these Islamic terrorists continue to provide sanctuary for foreign Islamic terrorists from Malaysia and Indonesia. Some of these foreigners have special skills, like bomb making, which makes them, and Abu Sayyaf, even more dangerous. MILF has made peace and the disarmament process has begun.
China has offered to resume negotiations with the Philippines over the South China Sea disputes. China said it was willing to allow the Philippines to share the new facilities (on newly created islands) China has built. This makes it clear that any peace talks begin with the understanding that China owns the South China Sea. That makes any further talks difficult to justify. China is also trying to use financial inducements to get the Philippines to accept Chinese claims. This is possible because China has helped form and fund a new international investment organization (like the IMF or World Bank) that it will have a lot of control over. The Chinese offer is simple; do what we want and the money (accompanied by bribes for key officials, if necessary) will be available to build infrastructure, new businesses and anything else that is needed.
Australia is helping the Philippines build up its naval capabilities by donating two LCH handing craft. The two Balikpapan class LCH ships can land up to 180 tons of cargo directly on a beach. These ships are oceangoing, have a crew of 16 and an endurance of five days while carrying a full load and about two weeks if travelling empty. Eight of these ships were built in Australia in the early 1970s. Australia is refurbishing two of those that were retired, before turning them over to the Philippines. South Korea and Japan have also donated ships. This is an effort to assist the Philippines in upgrading and expanding its navy despite having very little cash to pay for it. The Philippines has received second hand (but refurbished) frigates and Coast Guard ships to the Philippines. The Hamilton class Coast Guard cutters are 3,200 ton ocean going patrol ships that the Philippines is arming more heavily and using as warships.
July 25, 2015: Filipino fishermen found some Chinese buoys near Scarborough Shoal and towed them back home and turned them over to police. China leaves buoys to warn non-Chinese fishing boats away from disputed areas. Chinese coast guard ships visit these areas regularly and will try to force foreign fishing boats they encounter away from the area. Earlier this year Filipino fishermen accused Chinese Coast Guard crews of robbing Filipino fishing boats that the Chinese accused of being "illegally" in Chinese waters near disputed areas like Scarborough Shoal. This shoal is 220 kilometers from one of the main Filipino islands (Palawan) and 650 kilometers from Chinese territory (Hainan Island). The Chinese coast guard has a reputation for theft and other illegal activity. The Chinese government has cracked down on the worst examples of that (like assisting in the hijacking of ships or aiding smugglers) but it is known that the thefts still occur, especially when they involve non-Chinese boats. It is believed that China encourages its coast guard to do whatever they can get away with to drive foreign fishermen from their traditional fishing grounds that are now claimed by China in the South China Sea.
July 23, 2015: In the south (Zamboanga City) am Abu Sayyaf bomb went off in a club and massage parlor, killing a woman Abu Sayyaf was after and wounding ten bystanders. The place was bombed because Abu Sayyaf wanted to kill a woman who worked there and had tipped off police on who carried out an earlier Abu Sayyaf bombing. That tip led to the arrest of several Abu Sayyaf members and the Islamic terrorists vowed revenge to discourage this sort of cooperation with police.
July 19, 2015: In the south (Misamis Oriental) NPA rebels ambushed and killed three unarmed local defense militia who were off duty.
July 18, 2015: In the south (Jolo) a bomb exploded outside the entrance to an army base. There were no casualties and Abu Sayyaf was suspected. In nearby Sulu an army patrol found and destroyed an Abu Sayyaf base that could accommodate about thirty people. The troops were searching for Abu Sayyaf kidnap victims believed to be held in the area.
July 17, 2015: In the south (Compostela Valley province) an NPA ambush wounded four soldiers and a local militiaman.
July 16, 2015: In the south (Cagayan de Oro) NPA assassins wounded a senior army commander.
July 15, 2015: The government announced it is going to make repairs on a base it maintains on a reef that China now claims. A detachment of nine Filipino marines has been stationed there on a World War II era landing ship (the BRP Sierra Madre) for nearly two decades. The Filipino navy deliberately grounded the LST on Second Thomas Reef in 1999 to provide a place for this "observation team". In 2013 Chinese patrol ships came within nine kilometers of the LST, which China insists is there illegally. The Philippines warns China that it will resist any attempts to use force against the grounded ship and while the Chinese still tries to interfere with supply ships, they have stayed away. China has protested the effort to make repairs on the LST.
July 14, 2015: The government announced that it is reactivating the naval base at Subic Bay, which the U.S. fleet abandoned in 1992 as part of its post-Cold War reductions. By reactivating the naval base (by 2016) there will be a convenient place for allied (including American, Japanese, Vietnamese and Taiwanese) warships and warplanes to stay. The revived Subic Bay naval base will have better security than nearby commercial ports and be equipped to cater to military needs. China sees reactivating Subic Bay as a hostile act. The Filipinos see it as an act of self-defense against Chinese aggression. The Philippines will station two of its warships (frigates) at Subic as well as some new jet fighters it is receiving form South Korea in 2016. Parts of the former American Subic Bay base facilities continued to be used after the U.S. Navy left. These areas will not be affected by the resumption of military activities at Subic Bay.
July 12, 2015: In the north (Quezon) NPA rebels attacked a power plant but the military guards drove them off. One soldier and one nearby civilian were killed. The attackers appear to have suffered at least nine wounded and were surprised by the ferocity of the defense. The retreating NPA men left weapons and equipment behind.
July 11, 2015: In the south (Misamis Oriental) NPA rebels ambushed some soldiers, killing one, capturing another and wounding two civilians.
July 9, 2015: In the south (South Cotabato province) an NPA landmine killed one civilian and wounded three others.
July 8, 2015: In the south (Quezon province) soldiers clashed with NPA rebels and killed three of the leftist gunmen.

Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union had their share of battles in WWII and the biggest tank battle took place near Kursk. It was a large-scale combat and almost the most infamous battle in the entire war. How much do you know about it? Here are 10 facts.
Battle of Kursk started because the Germans launched the attack. It was a long battle, lasting for almost two whole months in the summer. Previously, the Red Army weakened the Germans at the Battle of Stalingrad in the winter of 1942-1943. This could be considered a counter-attack by the Germans who tried to stop the Red Army from progressing westward.
Thanks to the British Intelligence services, the Soviets were informed months before the attack. They knew where the attack would take place and they prepared a defensive position.
Approximately 6,000 tanks participated in this battle, making it one of the largest tank battles of all times. In addition, 4,000 aircraft participated wile 2 million men were on the battlefield. One of the largest attacks took place on July 12 when around 500 Soviet tanks attacked the II SS-Panzer Corps.
Casualties were large on both sides, but the Soviets prevailed.
The Germans had powerful tanks such as Tiger, Panther and Ferdinand. Thanks to those, Hitler thought that the Germans would prevail. These tanks had a long range and the ability to destroy enemy tanks as it was evident in the battle. Luckily, these were not found in high numbers because the Soviets had no solution for them.
The German technology was much more advance than the Soviet which tanks couldn't come close to the Nazi ones.
However, they created lighter and faster tanks than their enemies and focused on numbers and mobility. Eventually, it paid off.
The Germans had technology and weaponry on their side, but they couldn't penetrate through the Russian's defenses. The Soviets had a lot of time to prepare and they spread out their defenses carefully across the battlefield, not allowing Germans to go deep into their lines.
Interestingly enough, Kursk is known for its black ground and the dust which was raised created poor visibility for Luftwaffe. Therefore, Germans couldn't provide a much needed air support. On the other side, the Russians were stationary and they had no such issues. They could attack with less difficulty and fewer risks.
The Russians sustained much more casualties than the Germans, but at this point, the tide of war is changing. Speaking of Germans, they brought a force of 780,000 men and the total number of casualties reached 200,000. Even though they attacked, they were slowed down significantly and after eight days, the attack ran out of steam.
One of the ways to find the Germans was to bury the tanks underground with only the top showing. Local Soviet Commander Nikolai Vatutin came up with the idea that worked very well. The goal was to attract the German tanks who had longer range and then destroy them.
The Battle of Kursk was a turning point for the Eastern front and even the war itself. Hitler was having problems in Sicily which became a priority for him and the Soviets used it to push through. After that, the Germans didn't win any significant battle on the Eastern front. The Soviets entered Berlin in 1945.

One of the most difficult of tasks, apart from the purely physical aspects facing Police Forces countrywide, is that of bringing together information from different sources to complete an investigation file. As mobile telephones are rapidly becoming an essential part of modern life, the police often find that the conversations carried out by officers and suspects alike on mobile phones can be a key tool in the identification of regular contacts and reporting.
The application and use of Optical Character Recognition (OCR) word search to scanned paper bills has made searching for information routine and highly efficient. Whilst most mobile telephone companies these days offer the Constabularies information in digital format, it is still not 100% available.
Scanning and the application of OCR word search to telephone bills is still a most useful and efficient way of obtaining information.

From today, 8th April 2019, drivers of the most polluting cars and vans entering central London will have to pay £12.50 per day to drive within the Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) in addition to the Congestion Charge where it applies.
The ULEZ charge, which supersedes the T-Charge, applies to vehicles not meeting the following minimum emissions standards: Petrol Euro 4 and Diesel Euro 6. For vehicle which meet or exceed this criteria, no ULEZ charge is paid.
The ULEZ is enforced based on the declared emissions of the vehicle rather than the age. However, as a general rule, petrol cars that meet the ULEZ standards are generally those first registered with the DVLA after 2005, although cars that meet the standards have been available since 2001. Diesel cars that meet the standards are generally those first registered with the DVLA after September 2015.
The Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, every day of the year (unlike the Congestion Charge which only applies between 7am and 6pm Monday to Friday). Non-business drivers can pay any applicable ULEZ charges in advance, on the same day as travel, or by midnight on the charging day after they drove in the zone. Owners of business vehicles can set up an AutoPay account to automate payments, and/or Fleet Auto Pay for fleets of at least five vehicles.
Due to their ultra low or zero emissions, all plug-in hybrids and pure-electric cars and vans do not incur a charge within the new Ultra Low Emission Zone. Indeed, one of the aims of the ULEZ scheme is to further incentivise car buyers to purchase electric vehicles, or, where these are not suitable, the cleanest conventional vehicles on the market as measured by the Euro emissions standards.
From 25 October 2021 the ULEZ boundary will be extended to create a single larger zone bounded by the North and South Circular Roads. As with the initial zone, drivers of all petrol or diesel vehicles entering the extended zone and not meeting the emissions standards will need to pay the daily charge. Vehicles using the North and South Circular Roads but not entering the ULEZ will not be charged.
Residents who are registered for the residents' Congestion Charge discount are granted a time-limited grace period until 24 October 2021 where a 100% discount from the ULEZ will apply to their vehicles. However, residents using a vehicle that doesn't meet the T-Charge emissions standards will continue to pay the T-Charge, at a discounted rate of 90%, during the ULEZ resident grace period. From 25 October 2021, all residents must pay the full daily ULEZ charge to drive a vehicle in the zone if it does not meet the ULEZ standards.
Keepers of vehicles registered with a 'disabled' or 'disabled passenger vehicles' tax class will benefit from a grace period until 26 October 2025 as long as their vehicle doesn't change tax class. Blue Badge holders will need to pay the charge from 8 April 2019 unless their vehicle meets the new ULEZ emission standards or is registered with the DVLA with a 'disabled' or 'disabled passenger vehicle' tax class. From 27 October 2025, all vehicles with 'disabled' or 'disabled passenger vehicles' tax class that do not meet the ULEZ emission standards will be liable for the daily ULEZ charge.


"We just kind of feel like our rights are being infringed upon," says a woman who toted her shotgun into the store.
More images have surfaced of gun rights activists carrying weapons inside Target stores in Texas. On May 31, several women went shopping at a Target in Corpus Christi, toting not just kids but also shotguns and semi-automatic rifles.
"We just kind of feel like our rights are being infringed upon, which is against the constitution," the organizer, Sarah Head, told a local TV station two days before the demonstration.
For several months members of the group Open Carry Texas—mostly men, some of whom have used disturbing intimidation tactics against women—have shown up armed at Target stores to demonstrate their right to carry rifles openly in public and to call for the right to do so with handguns (which is not legal in Texas). They've hung out in the Target parking lot. They've carried their weapons in Target's toy aisles and declared that the company is "very 2A friendly." In at least one case, as I reported recently, Target has known in advance that they were coming.
In response, the group Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America has gone after Target with a social-media campaign, petitions, and demonstrations, pressuring the company to reject firearms in its stores, as a handful of national restaurant chains have done in recent months after open-carry demonstrations.
With the backlash over its provocative tactics, including an extraordinary rebuke from the National Rifle Association (which quickly ran away from its criticism when the gun activists became enraged), Open Carry Texas announced back in mid May that it was changing its approach and would no longer carry guns inside corporate businesses where they are unwanted. But apparently its supporters in Corpus Christi didn't get the memo.
Moms Demand Action began highlighting the images from the Corpus Christi store on social media on Thursday, again urging Target to take action. The company has acknowledged criticisms about the demonstrations, but to date has only said that it complies with all applicable laws; a spokesperson confirmed to me last weekend that the company has no policy specifically regarding firearms in its stores, and declined to say whether the company was considering one.
But there are indications that Target may now be doing so. On Thursday, Christopher Gavigan, the CEO of The Honest Company, which just began selling its line of eco-friendly family products in Target stores, tweeted "we are very much in an active dialogue to find a solution" on the issue.
@shannonrwatts @Nikluk @jessicaalba @Target In fact, we are very much in a active dialogue to find a solution – more soon!
A manager at the Target store in Corpus Christi (who declined to give her full name) confirmed to me by phone that the open-carry demonstrators had been there, and said that they would no longer be welcome with their guns. "From this point forward we're not going to allow anyone to carry a firearm in our store," the manager said, though she declined to comment on how that policy might be enforced.

\section{Introduction}
The goal of obtaining universal expressions  describing the
structure function $g_1$ at all $x$ and $Q^2$ is an attractive
task from both theoretical and phenomenological point of view.
Until recently, the only theoretical instrument to describe $g_1$
was the Standard Approach (SA) which involves the DGLAP evolution
equations\cite{dglap} and standard
 fits\cite{fits} for the initial parton densities $\delta q$ and $\delta g$.
 The fits are defined from phenomenological considerations at $x\sim
 1$ and $Q^2 = \mu^2 \sim 1$GeV$^2$.
The DGLAP equations are one-dimensional, they describe the $Q^2$
-evolution only, converting $\delta q$ and $\delta g$ into the
evolved distributions $\Delta q$ and $\Delta g$. The DGLAP
equations are theoretically grounded in the kinematical the region
\textbf{A} only:
\begin{equation}\label{rega}
\textbf{A:}~~~~~ s > Q^2 \gg \mu^2,~~~~~x \lesssim 1
\end{equation}
where we have denoted $s \equiv 2pq$, with $p$ and $q$ being the
momenta of the initial hadron and photon respectively. This leaves
the other kinematical regions uncovered. It is convenient to
specify those regions as follows:

The small-$x$ region\textbf{ B}:
\begin{equation}\label{regb}
\textbf{B:} ~~~~~ s \gg Q^2 \gg \mu^2,~~~~~x \ll 1
\end{equation}
and the small-$Q^2$ regions\textbf{ C }and\textbf{ D} :
\begin{equation}\label{regc}
\textbf{C:} ~~~~~0 \leq Q^2 \lesssim \mu^2,~~~~~x \ll 1,
\end{equation}
\begin{equation}\label{regd}
\textbf{D:} ~~~~~0 \leq Q^2 \lesssim \mu^2,~~~~~x \lesssim 1.
\end{equation}

As the matter of fact, the SA has been extended from Region
\textbf{A} to the small-$x$ Region \textbf{B}, though without any
theoretical basis. The point is that after converting $\delta q$
and $\delta g$ into $\Delta q$ and $\Delta g$ with the DGLAP
evolution equations, they should be evolved to the small-$x$
region as well. The $x$ -evolution is supposed to come from
convoluting $\Delta q$ and $\Delta g$ with the coefficient
functions $C_{DGLAP}$. However, in the leading order
$C_{DGLAP}^{LO}=1$; the NLO corrections account for one- or two-
loop contributions and neglect higher loops. This is the correct
approximation in the region \textbf{A} but becomes wrong in the
Region \textbf{B} where contributions $\sim \ln^k(1/x)$ are large
and should be accounted for to all orders in $\alpha_s$.
$C_{DGLAP}$ do no include the total resummation of the leading
logarithms of $x$ (LL), so SA requires special fits for $\delta q$
and $\delta g$. The general structure of such fits (see
Refs.~\cite{fits}) is as follows:
\begin{equation}\label{fits}
\delta q = N x^{-a} \varphi(x)
\end{equation}
where $N$ is a normalization constant; $a > 0$, so $x^{-a}$ is
singular when $x \to 0$ and $\varphi (x)$ is regular in $x$ at $x
\to 0$. In Ref.~\cite{egtfit} we showed that the role of the
factor $x^{-a}$ in Eq.~(\ref{fits}) is to mimic  the total
resummation of LL performed in Refs~\cite{egtns, egts}. Similarly
to LL, the factor $x^{-a}$ provides the steep rise to $g_1$ at
small $x$ and sets the Regge asymptotics for $g_1$ at $x \to 0$,
with the exponent $a$ being the intercept. The presence of this
factor is very important for extrapolating DGLAP into the region
\textbf{B:} When the factor $x^{-a}$ is dropped from
Eq.~(\ref{fits}), DGLAP stops to work at $x \lesssim 0.05$ (see
Ref.~\cite{egtfit} for detail). Accounting for the LL resummation
is beyond the DGLAP framework, because LL come from the phase
space not included in the DGLAP -ordering
\begin{equation}\label{order}
\mu^2  < k^2_{1~\perp} < k^2_{2~\perp}<...< Q^2~
\end{equation}
for the ladder partons ($k_{2i~\perp}$ are the transverse
components of the ladder momenta $k_i$). LL can be accounted only
when the ordering Eq.~(\ref{order}) is lifted and all
$k_{i~\perp}$ obey
\begin{equation}\label{llorder}
\mu^2 < k^2_{i~\perp} < (p+q)^2 \approx (1-x)2pq \approx 2pq~
\end{equation}
at small $x$. Replacing Eq.~(\ref{order}) by Eq.~(\ref{llorder})
leads inevitably to the change of the DGLAP parametrization
\begin{equation}\label{dglapparam}
\alpha_s^{DGLAP} = \alpha_s(Q^2)
\end{equation}
by the alternative parametrization of $\alpha_s$ given by
Eq.~(\ref{a}). This parametrization was obtained in
Ref.~\cite{egta} and was used in Refs.~\cite{egtns,egts} in order
to find explicit expressions accounting for the LL resummation for
$g_1$ in the region \textbf{B}. Obviously, those expressions
require the non-singular fits for the initial parton densities.
 Let us note that the
replacement of Eq.~(\ref{order}) by Eq.~(\ref{llorder}) brings a
more involved $\mu$ -dependence of $g_1$. Indeed,
Eq.~(\ref{order}) makes the contributions of gluon ladder rungs be
infrared (IR) stable, with $\mu$ acting as a IR cut-off for the
lowest rung and $k_{i~\perp}$ playing the role of the IR cut-off
for the
 $i+1$-rung. In contrast, Eq.~(\ref{llorder}) implies that $\mu$ acts
as the IR cut-off for every rung.

The small-$Q^2$ Regions \textbf{C} and \textbf{D} are, obviously,
beyond the reach of SA because DGLAP cannot be exploited here.
Alternatively, in Refs.~\cite{egtsmq,egthtw} we obtained
expressions for $g_1$ in the region \textbf{C} and proved that
Region C can be described through the shift $Q^2 \to Q^2 + \mu^2$
in our large-$Q^2$ formulae. Combining these results with SA
obtained in Ref.~\cite{egtfit} makes it possible to describe $g_1$
in Region\textbf{ D}. For the sake of simplicity, we present below
formulae for $g_1^{NS}$, the non-singlet component of $g_1$ only.

\section{Description of $g_1$ in the region \textbf{B}}

The total resummation of the double-logarithms (DL) and single-
logarithms of $x$ in the region \textbf{B } was done in
Refs.~\cite{egtns,egts}. In particular, the non-singlet component,
$g_1^{NS}$ of $g_1$ is
\begin{equation}
\label{gnsint} g_1^{NS}(x, Q^2) = (e^2_q/2) \int_{-\imath
\infty}^{\imath \infty} \frac{d \omega}{2\pi\imath }(1/x)^{\omega}
C_{NS}(\omega) \delta q(\omega) \exp\big( H_{NS}(\omega)
\ln(Q^2/\mu^2)\big)~,
\end{equation}
with new coefficient functions  $C_{NS}$,
\begin{equation}
\label{cns} C_{NS}(\omega) =\frac{\omega}{\omega -
H_{NS}^{(\pm)}(\omega)}
\end{equation}
and anomalous dimensions $H_{NS}$,
\begin{equation}
\label{hns} H_{NS} = (1/2) \Big[\omega - \sqrt{\omega^2 -
B(\omega)} \Big]
\end{equation}
where
\begin{equation}
\label{b} B(\omega) = (4\pi C_F (1 +  \omega/2) A(\omega) +
D(\omega))/ (2 \pi^2)~.
\end{equation}
 $ D(\omega)$ and $A(\omega)$ in Eq.~(\ref{b}) are
expressed in terms of  $\rho = \ln(1/x)$, $\eta =
\ln(\mu^2/\Lambda^2_{QCD})$, $b = (33 - 2n_f)/12\pi$ and the color
factors
 $C_F = 4/3$, $N = 3$:

\begin{equation}
\label{d} D(\omega) = \frac{2C_F}{b^2 N} \int_0^{\infty} d \rho
e^{-\omega \rho} \ln \big( \frac{\rho + \eta}{\eta}\big) \Big[
\frac{\rho + \eta}{(\rho + \eta)^2 + \pi^2} \mp
\frac{1}{\eta}\Big] ~,
\end{equation}

\begin{equation}
\label{a} A(\omega) = \frac{1}{b} \Big[\frac{\eta}{\eta^2 + \pi^2}
- \int_0^{\infty} \frac{d \rho e^{-\omega \rho}}{(\rho + \eta)^2 +
\pi^2} \Big].
\end{equation}
$H_{S}$  and $C_{NS}$ account for DL and SL contributions to all
orders in $\alpha_s$. Eqs.~(\ref{a}) and (\ref{d}) depend on the
IR cut-off $\mu$  through variable $\eta$. It is shown in
Refs.~\cite{egtns,egts} that there exists an Optimal scale for
fixing $\mu$: $\mu \approx 1$ Gev for $g_1^{NS}$  and $\mu \approx
5$
 GeV for $g_1^s$.  The arguments in favor of existence of
 the Optimal scale were
 given in Ref.~\cite{egthtw}.  Eq.~(\ref{gnsint})
 predicts that  $g_1$ exhibits the power behavior in  $x$ and $Q^2$ when $x \to 0$:
\begin{equation}
\label{gnsas}g_1^{NS} \sim \big(Q^2/x^2\big)^{\Delta_{NS}/2},~
g_1^{S} \sim \big(Q^2/x^2\big)^{\Delta_{S}/2}
\end{equation}
where the non-singlet and singlet intercepts are $\Delta_{NS} =
0.42,~\Delta_{S} = 0.86$ respectively. However the asymptotic
expressions (\ref{gnsas}) should be used  with great care:
According to Ref.~\cite{egtfit}, Eq.~(\ref{gnsas}) should not be
used at $x \gtrsim 10^{-6}$. So, Eq.~(\ref{gnsint}) should be used
instead of Eq.~(\ref{gnsas}) at available small $x$. Expressions
accounting the total resummation of LL for the singlet $g_1$ in
the region \textbf{B} were obtained in Ref.~\cite{egts}. They are
more complicated than Eq.~(\ref{gnsint}) because involve two
coefficient functions and four anomalous dimensions.

\section{Unified description of Regions A and B}

As was suggested in Ref.~\cite{egtfit}, the natural way to
describe $g_1$ in the Regions A and B is to combine the small-$x$
results with the DGLAP expressions for the coefficient functions
and anomalous dimensions of $g_1$. In particular, $g_1^{NS}$ is
again given by Eq.~(\ref{gnsint}), however with the new
coefficient function $\widetilde{C}_{NS}$ and new anomalous
dimension $\widetilde{H}_{NS}$:
\begin{eqnarray}\label{combab}
\widetilde{C}_{NS} = C_{NS} + C^{DGLAP}_{NS} - \Delta  C_{NS} \\
\nonumber \widetilde{H}_{NS} = H_{NS} + \gamma^{DGLAP}_{NS} -
\Delta H_{NS}
\end{eqnarray}
where $C_{NS}$ and $H_{NS}$ are defined in
Eqs.~(\ref{cns},\ref{hns}), $C^{DGLAP}_{NS}$ and
$\gamma^{DGLAP}_{NS}$ are the DGLAP non-singlet coefficient
function and anomalous dimension. The terms $\Delta C_{NS},~\Delta
H_{NS}$ should be introduced to avoid the double counting. In the
case when the DGLAP expressions are used in $C^{DGLAP}_{NS}$ and
$\gamma^{DGLAP}_{NS}$ with the LO accuracy,
\begin{equation}\label{deltach}
\Delta C_{NS} = 1,~~\Delta
H_{NS}=\frac{A(\omega)}{2\pi}\Big[\frac{1}{\omega}+\frac{1}{2}\Big]
\end{equation}
They are the first terms of expansions of
Eqs.~(\ref{cns},\ref{hns}) in the series in $A(\omega)$. In order
to account for the NLO terms for $C^{DGLAP}_{NS}$ and
$\gamma^{DGLAP}_{NS}$, the next terms of the expansions should be
included into $\Delta C_{NS}$ and $\Delta H_{NS}$. When
Eq.~(\ref{combab}) is substituted into Eq.~(\ref{gnsint}), we
arrive at the description of $g_1^{NS}$ covering both Regions
\textbf{ A} and\textbf{ B}. Obviously, the main contribution to
$\widetilde{C}_{NS},~\widetilde{H}_{NS}$ at Region \textbf{A}
comes from their DGLAP components. On the contrary, the total
resumation terms dominate at $x \ll 1$. When Eq.~(\ref{combab}) is
used, the initial parton densities should not include singular
factors.

\section{Description of $g_1$ in the Regions \textbf{B} and \textbf{C}}

Region \textbf{C} is defined in Eq.~(\ref{regc}). It involves
small $Q^2$, so there are no large contributions
$\ln^k(Q^2/\mu^2)$ in this region. In other words, the DGLAP
ordering of Eq.~(\ref{order}) does not make sense in the region
\textbf{C }, which makes impossible exploiting DGLAP here. In
contrast, Eq.~(\ref{order}) is not sensitive to the value of $Q^2$
and therefore the total resummation of LL does make sense in the
region \textbf{C}. In Ref.~\cite{egtsmq} we suggested that the
shift
\begin{equation}\label{shift}
Q^2  \to  Q^2 + \mu^2
\end{equation}
would allow for extrapolating our previous results (obtained in
Refs.~\cite{egtns,egts} for $g_1$ in the region \textbf{B}) into
the region \textbf{C}. Then in Ref.~\cite{egthtw} we proved this
suggestion. Therefore, applying Eq.~(\ref{shift}) to $g_1^{NS}$
leads to the following expression  for $g_1^{NS}$ valid in the
regions\textbf{ B} and\textbf{ C}:
\begin{equation}
\label{gnsbc} g_1^{NS}(x+z, Q^2) = (e^2_q/2) \int_{-\imath
\infty}^{\imath \infty} \frac{d \omega}{2\pi\imath }
\Big(\frac{1}{x+z}\Big)^{\omega} C_{NS}(\omega) \delta q(\omega)
\exp\big( H_{NS}(\omega) \ln\big((Q^2+\mu^2)/\mu^2\big)\big)~,
\end{equation}
where $z = \mu^2/2pq$. Obviously, Eq.~(\ref{gnsbc}) reproduces
Eq.~(\ref{gnsint}) in the region \textbf{B}. Expression for
$g_1^S$ looks similarly  but  more complicated, see
Refs.~\cite{egtsmq,egthtw} for detail. Let us notice that the idea
of considering DIS in the small-$Q^2$ region through the shift
Eq.~(\ref{shift}) is not new. It was introduced by Nachtmann in
Ref.~\cite{nacht}  and used after that by many authors (see e.g.
\cite{bad}), being based on different phenomenological
considerations. On the contrary, our approach is based on the
analysis of the Feynman graphs contributing to $g_1$. We also
suggest that the following values for $\mu$ should be used: for
the non-singlet component of $g_1$ $\mu = 1~$GeV and $\mu =
5.5~$GeV for the singlet $g_1$.

\section{Generalization to the Region \textbf{D}}

The generalization of the results of Sect.~IV to the Region
\textbf{D} can easily be done with replacements
\begin{equation}\label{cd}
C_{NS} \to \widetilde{C}_{NS}, ~~~~~H_{NS} \to \widetilde{H}_{NS}
\end{equation}
in Eq.~(\ref{gnsbc}), with
$\widetilde{C}_{NS},~\widetilde{H}_{NS}$ defined in
Eq.~(\ref{combab}). So, we arrive at the final result: the
 expression for $g_1$ which can be used in the Regions
\textbf{A,B,C,D} universally is
\begin{equation}\label{gnsabcd}
g_1^{NS}(x+z, Q^2) = (e^2_q/2) \int_{-\imath \infty}^{\imath
\infty} \frac{d \omega}{2\pi\imath }
\Big(\frac{1}{x+z}\Big)^{\omega} \widetilde{C}_{NS}(\omega) \delta
q(\omega) \exp\big( \widetilde{H}_{NS}(\omega)
\ln\big((Q^2+\mu^2)/\mu^2\big)\big).
\end{equation}
We remind that the expressions for the initial parton densities in
Eq.~(\ref{gnsabcd}) should not contain singular terms because the
total resummation of leading logarithms of $x$ is explicitly
included into $\widetilde{C}_{NS}$ and $\widetilde{H}_{NS}$.
\section{Prediction for the COMPASS experiments}

The COMPASS collaboration now measures the singlet $g_1^S$ at $x
\sim 10^{-3}$ and $Q^2 \lesssim 3$~GeV${^2}$, i.e. in the
kinematic region beyond the reach of DGLAP. However, our formulae
for $g_1^{NS}$ and $g_1^S$ obtained in  Refs.~\cite{egtsmq,egthtw}
cover this region. Although expressions for singlet and
non-singlet $g_1$ are different, with formulae for the singlet
being much more complicated, we can explain the essence of our
approach, using Eq.~(\ref{gnsbc}) as an illustration. According to
results of \cite{egts}, $\mu \approx 5$ GeV for $g_1^S$, so in the
COMPASS experiment $Q^2 \ll \mu^2$. It means, $\ln^k(Q^2 + \mu^2)$
can be expanded into series in $Q^2/\mu^2$, with the first term
independent of $Q^2$:
\begin{equation}\label{gssmq}
g_1^S(x+z, Q^2,\mu^2) = g_1^S(z,\mu^2) + \sum_{k=1} (Q^2/\mu^2)^k
E_k(z)
\end{equation}
where $E_k(z)$ account for the total resummation of LL of $z$ and
\begin{equation}\label{cs}
g_1^S(z,\mu^2) = (<e^2_q/2>) \int_{-\imath \infty}^{\imath \infty}
\frac{d \omega}{2\pi \imath} \big(1/z \big)^{\omega}
\big[C_{S}^q(\omega)\delta q(\omega) + C_{S}^g(\omega) \delta
g(\omega)  \big],
\end{equation}
so that $\delta q(\omega)$ and $\delta g(\omega)$ are the initial
quark and gluon densities respectively and $C_{S}^{q,g}$ are the
singlet coefficient functions. Explicit expressions for
$C_{S}^{q,g}$ are given in Refs.~\cite{egts,egtsmq}. Therefore, we
can makes the following predictions easy to be checked by COMPASS:

\subsection{Prediction 1}
In the whole COMPASS range $0 \lesssim Q^2 \lesssim 3~$GeV$^2$,
the singlet $g_1$ does not depend on $x$ regardless of the value
of $x$.
\subsection{Prediction 2}
Instead of studying experimental the $x$-dependence of $g_1^S$, it
would be much more interesting to investigate its dependence on
$2pq$ because it makes possible to estimate the ratio $\delta
g/\delta q$ (see Ref.~\cite{egtsmq} for detail).

\section{Remark on the higher twists contributions}
In the region \textbf{B} one can expand terms $\sim (Q^2 +
\mu^2)^k$ in Eq.~(\ref{gnsbc}) into series  in $(\mu^2/Q^2)^n$ and
represent $g_1^{NS}(x+z,Q^2,\mu^2)$ as follows:

\begin{equation}\label{gnshtw}
g_1^{NS}(x+z,Q^2,\mu^2)= g_1^{NS}(x,Q^2/\mu^2) + \sum_{k=1}
(\mu^2/Q^2)^k T_k~
\end{equation}
where $g_1^{NS}(x,Q^2/\mu^2)$ is given by Eq.~(\ref{gnsint});
 for explicit expressions for the factors $T_k$ see
Ref.~\cite{egthtw}. The power terms in the  rhs of
Eq.~(\ref{gnshtw}) look like the power $\sim 1/(Q^2)^k$
-corrections and therefore the lhs of Eq.~(\ref{gnshtw})  can be
interpreted as the total resummation of such corrections. These
corrections are of the perturbative origin and have nothing in
common with higher twists contributions ($\equiv HTW$). The latter
appear in the conventional analysis of experimental date on the
Polarized DIS as a discrepancy between the data and the
theoretical predictions, with $g_1^{NS}(x,Q^2/\mu^2)$ being given
by the Standard Approach:
\begin{equation}\label{dglaphtw}
g_1^{NS~exp} = g_1^{NS SA} + HTW~.
\end{equation}
Confronting Eq.~(\ref{dglaphtw}) to Eq.~(\ref{gnshtw}) leads to an
obvious conclusion: In order estimate genuine higher twists
contributions to $g_1^{NS}$, one should account, in the first
place, for the perturbative power corrections predicted by
Eq.~(\ref{gnshtw}); otherwise the estimates cannot be reliable. It
is worth mentioning that we can easily explain the empirical
observation made in the conventional analysis of experimental
data: The power corrections exist for $Q^2 > 1$ GeV$^2$ and
disappear when $Q^2 \to 1$ GeV$^2$. Indeed, in Eq.~(\ref{gnshtw})
$\mu = 1$ GeV , so the expansion in the rhs of Eq.~(\ref{gnshtw})
make sense for $Q^2 > 1$ GeV$^2$ only; at smaller $Q^2$ it should
be replaced by the expansion of Eq.~(\ref{gnsbc}) in
$(Q^2/\mu^2)^n$.
\section{Conclusion}

The extrapolation of DGLAP from the standard Region \textbf{A} to
the small-$x$ Region B involves necessarily the singular fits for
the initial parton densities without any theoretical basis. On the
contrary, the resummation of the leading logarithms of $x$ is the
straightforward and most natural way to describe $g_1$ at small
$x$. Combining this resummation with the DGLAP results leads to
the expressions for $g_1$ which can be used at large $Q^2$ and
arbitrary $x$ (Regions \textbf{A} and \textbf{B}), leaving the
initial parton densities non-singular. Then, incorporating the
shift of Eq.~(\ref{shift}) into these expressions allows us to
describe $g_1$ in the small-$Q^2$ regions (Regions \textbf{C} and
\textbf{D}) and to write down Eq.~(\ref{gnsabcd}) describing $g_1$
at the Regions \textbf{A,B,C,D.} We have used it for studying the
$g_1$ singlet at small $Q^2$ which is presently investigated by
the COMPASS collaboration. It turned out that $g_1$ in the COMPASS
kinematic region depends on $z = \mu^2/2pq$ only and practically
does not depend on $x$, even at $x \ll 1$. Numerical calculations
show that the sign of $g_1$ is positive at $z$ close to 1 and can
remain positive or become negative at smaller $z$, depending on
the ratio between $\delta g$ and $\delta q$.  To conclude, let us
notice that extrapolating DGLAP into the small-$x$ region,
although it could provide a satisfactory agreement with
experimental data, leads to various wrong statements, or
misconceptions. We enlisted the most of them in Ref.~\cite{egtep}.
Below we mention one important wrong statements not included in
Ref.~\cite{egtep}:

\textbf{Misconception:} \emph{The impact of the resummation of
leading logarithms of $x$ on the small-$x$ behavior of $g_1$ is
small.}

This statement appears when the resummation is combined with the
DGLAP expressions, similarly to Eq.~(\ref{combab}), and at the
same time the fits for the initial parton densities contain
singular factors like the one in Eq.~(\ref{fits}). Such a
procedure is inconsistent and means actually a double counting of
the logarithmic contributions: the first implicitly, through the
fits, and the second in  explicit way. It also affects the
small-$x$ asymptotics of $g_1$, leading to the incorrect values of
the intercepts of $g_1$ (see Ref.~\cite{egtfit} for more detail).

Vietnam PM's keynote address at 12th Shangri-La Dialogue
越南總理阮晉勇在第十二屆香格里拉對話演講辭
Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung delivered a keynote address entitled "Building Strategic Trust for Peace, Cooperation and Prosperity in the Asia-Pacific Region" at the opening ceremony of the 12th Shangri-La Dialogue in Singapore on May 31.
PM Nguyen Tan Dung and Singapore PM Lee Hsien Loong
Following is the full text of the speech:
Excellency Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong,
Dr. John Chipman,
At the outset, I would like to express my sincere thanks to Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong of the Singaporean host, Dr. John Chipman and the organisers of the 12 th Shangri-La Dialogue for your kind invitation to me to attend and address this important forum. Since its inception 12 years ago, the Shangri-La Dialogue has truly become one of the most substantive and meaningful security dialogues in the region. I do believe that the full presence of government officials, military leaders, prestigious scholars and all distinguished delegates at this forum reflects the interest and the efforts to jointly preserve peace and security in the Asia-Pacific region in the context of a dynamically changing world.
While languages and expressions might differ, I am sure we all agree that without trust, there would be no success and harder work asks for bigger trust. In Vietnam, there is a saying that 'if trust is lost, all is lost.' Trust is the beginning of all friendships and cooperation, the remedy that works to prevent calculations that could risk conflicts. Trust must be treasured and nurtured constantly by concrete, consistent actions in accordance with the common norms and with a sincere attitude.
In the 20th century, Southeast Asia in particular and the Asia-Pacific in general were once fierce battlefields and deeply divided for decades. It might be said that the entire region always had a burning desire for peace. To have the peace, development and prosperity, it is a must to build and consolidate strategic trust. In other words, we need to build strategic trust for peace, cooperation and prosperity in the Asia-Pacific. That is what I wish to share with you at this forum.
To begin with, Vietnam has a profound confidence in the bright future of development and cooperation in the region that we are living in. Yet the trend of increased engagement and competition, particularly by big powers not only offers positive elements but also involves negative risks that require us to take initiative and work together to prevent.
The Asia-Pacific region now enjoys dynamic development and is home to the three biggest economies and many emerging ones of the world. Here, the trend of multi-layer and multi-sector cooperation and linkages is evolving vigorously and becomes the prevailing one of the day. This is quite a promising prospect for us all.
However, looking back at the full picture of the region in the past years, we cannot fail to be concerned over the simmering risks and challenges to peace and security.
Competition and engagement are by themselves normal facts in the course of cooperation and development. Yet if such competition and engagement embrace calculations only in one's own interest, without equality, respect of international law and transparency, then strategic trust could in no way be reinforced, and there could be a chance for the rise of division, suspicion and the risk of mutual containment, thus adversely affecting peace, cooperation and development.
The unpredictable developments in the Korean Peninsula; sovereignty and territorial disputes from the East China Sea to the East Sea (South China Sea) that are evolving with much complexity, threatening regional peace and security, firstly maritime security and safety as well as the freedom of navigation, have indeed caused deep concerns to the international community. Somewhere in the region, there have emerged preferences for unilateral might, groundless claims, and actions that run counter to international law and stem from imposition and power politics.
I would like to draw your further attention to the fact that maritime transport and communications are growing in scale and having a much greater significance. It is projected that three fourths of global trade will be made via maritime routes and two thirds of that will be shipped across the East Sea . A single irresponsible action or instigation of conflict could well lead to the interruption of such huge trade flow, thus causing unforeseeable consequences not only to regional economies but also to the entire world.
In the mean time, the threats of religious and ethnic conflicts, egoistic nationalism, secessionism, violence, terrorism, cyber security, etc. are still very much present. Global challenges like climate change, sea level rise, pandemics or water resources and the interests of upstream and downstream riparian countries of shared rivers, etc. have become ever more acute.
We could realize that such challenges and risks of conflict are not to be underestimated. We all understand that if this region falls into instability and especially, armed conflicts, in general there will be neither winner nor loser. Rather, all will lose. Suffice it to say, therefore, that working together to build and reinforce strategic trust for peace, cooperation and prosperity in the region is the shared interest of us all. For Vietnam , strategic trust is perceived, above all, as honesty and sincerity.
Secondly, to build strategic trust, we need to abide ourselves by international law, uphold the responsibilities of nations, especially of major powers, and improve the efficiency of multilateral security cooperation mechanisms.
In the world history, many nations have suffered from irreparable losses when they fell victim to power politics, conflicts and wars. In today's civilised world, the UN Charter, international law and the universal principles and norms serve as the entire mankind's common values that must be respected. This also represents the precondition for strategic trust building.
Each state should always be a responsible stakeholder in the pursuit of common peace and security. Countries, either big or small, must build their relations on the basis of equality and mutual respect and at a higher level, on mutual strategic trust. Big states have a greater role to play and can contribute more but they should also shoulder bigger responsibilities in the cultivation and consolidation of such strategic trust. Besides, when it comes to the right voices and beneficial initiatives it does not matter whether they come from big or small countries. The principles of cooperation, equal and open dialogue in ASEAN and other forums advocated by ASEAN as well as this Shangri-La Dialogue are born from and maintained on such mindset.
I fully share the views of H.E. President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono of Indonesia who said last year at this forum that small and medium countries could help lock major powers into a durable regional architecture. I also agree with Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong on what he said in a speech in Beijing last September that a reliable and responsible cooperation between the United States and China would positively contribute to the common interest of the region. We all understand that the Asia-Pacific has sufficient room for all intra- and extra-regional countries to work together and share their interests. The future of the Asia-Pacific has been and will continue to be shaped by the roles and interactions by all countries in the region and the world, particularly by the major powers and certainly, by the indispensable role of ASEAN.
I believe that no regional country would oppose the strategic engagement of extra-regional powers if such engagement aims to enhance cooperation for peace, stability and development. We could expect more in the roles played by major powers, particularly the United States and China , the two powers having the biggest roles (I underline the biggest) in and responsibilities to the future of their own as well as that of the region and the world. What is important is that such expectation should be reinforced by strategic trust and such strategic trust must be reflected by concrete and constructive actions of these nations.
We attach special importance to the roles played by a vigorously rising China and by the United States - a Pacific power. We would expect and support the United States and China once their strategies and actions conform to international law, respect the independence and sovereignty of nations, not only bringing about benefits to them but also contributing genuinely to our common peace, cooperation and prosperity.
What I want to further underline is that the existing regional cooperation mechanisms such as the ASEAN Regional Forum (ARF), East Asia Summit (EAS), ASEAN Defence Ministers' Meetings Plus (ADMM+) as well as the Shangri-La Dialogue offer the opportunities to foster multilateral security cooperation and find solutions to the arising challenges. Yet it could be said that what is still missing, or at least still insufficient, is the strategic trust in the implementation of those arrangements. The first and foremost important thing is to build a mutual trust when confronting challenges, impacts of interactions, and enhancing practical cooperation in various areas, and at different levels and layers, both bilateral and multilateral. Once there is sufficient strategic trust, the enforcement effectiveness of existing mechanisms will be enhanced, and we could advance and expand cooperation and find solutions to any problem, even the most sensitive and difficult one.
Thirdly, when talking about peace, stability, cooperation and prosperity in the Asia-Pacific, we cannot help but mention an ASEAN of unity and consensus, playing its central role in many multilateral cooperation forums.
It was hard to believe that a South East Asia once divided and embedded in conflicts during the Cold War could become a community of nations united in diversity and playing a central role in an evolving regional architecture like ASEAN today. The participation of Vietnam in ASEAN in 1995 marked a new era of development in ASEAN towards building a common house for all South East Asian nations true to its name. The success of ASEAN is the fruit of a long persevering process to build trust, nurture the culture of dialogue and cooperation, and cultivate the sense of responsibility to the shared destiny of South East Asian nations.
ASEAN is proud to be an example for the principle of consensus and mutual trust in the making of its own decisions. That principle is the foundation for equality among the member states, whether it is Indonesia with nearly a fourth of a billion people or Brunei Darussalam with less than half a million. That principle also constitutes the foundation for extra-regional countries to place their trust in ASEAN as an ' honest broker' in guiding the numerous regional cooperation mechanisms.
With a mindset of shared interests rather than that of a win-lose one, the enlargement of the East Asia Summit (EAS) to include Russia and the United States, the ADMM+ process that was put into reality in Vietnam in 2010, and the success of EAS, ARF and ADMM+ in the years that follow have further consolidated the ground for a regional architecture in which ASEAN plays the central role, bringing about trust in the multilateral security cooperation in the region.
I also wish to refer to Myanmar as a vivid example of the outcome of the perseverance to dialogue on the basis of building and reinforcing trust, respecting the legitimate interests of each other, which helps open up a bright future not only for Myanmar but also for our whole region.
There have been profound lessons about the fundamental values of ASEAN's consensus and unity in maintaining equal and mutually beneficial relations with partner countries and maximising its proactive role in handling strategic issues of the region. ASEAN could only be strong and able to build on its role when it is united as one. An ASEAN lacking unity will by itself, lose its stand and will not be in the interest of any country, even ASEAN member states or its partners. We need an ASEAN united and strong, cooperating effectively with all countries to nurture peace and prosperity in the region, not an ASEAN in which member states are forced to take side with one country or the other for the individual benefit of their own in the relations with big powers. We have the responsibility to multiply trust in the settlement of problems, enhance cooperation for mutual benefit, combine harmoniously our national interest with that of other nations and of the whole region.
Vietnam and other ASEAN members always desire that other countries, particularly the major powers, support the ASEAN Community's central role, its principle of consensus and unity.
Back to the issue of the East Sea , ASEAN and China have travelled a long way with no less difficulty to come to the Declaration on the Conduct of Parties in the East Sea (DOC) adopted during the ASEAN Summit in Phnom Penh in 2002. To commemorate the 10 th anniversary of the DOC, ASEAN and China have agreed to work towards a Code of Conduct in the East Sea (COC). Parties need to uphold their responsibilities, mutually reinforce strategic trust, first and foremost by strictly implementing the DOC and doubling efforts to formulate a COC that conforms to international law and in particular, the 1982 UN Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS).
We believe that ASEAN and its partners can work together to develop a feasible mechanism that could guarantee maritime security and safety and freedom of navigation in the region . In so doing, we will not only help ensure maritime security and safety, and freedom of navigation, and create conditions for the settlement of disputes but will also assert the fundamental principles in maintaining peace, enhancing development cooperation in the contemporary world.
As for non-traditional security and other challenges including water resources security on the common rivers, by building strategic trust, enhancing cooperation and harmonizing national interests with common interests, I believe that we will able to achieve successes, thus making practical contributions to peace, cooperation and development in the region.
PM Nguyen Tan Dung speech at Shangri-la dialogue
Throughout her thousands of years of history, Vietnam has suffered numerous pains and losses due to wars. Vietnam always aspires to peace and desires to contribute to the consolidation of peace and enhancement of friendship and development cooperation in the region and the world. To have a genuine and lasting peace, the independence and sovereignty of any country, whether large or small, must be respected; and differences in interests, culture, etc. must be subject to open and constructive dialogues of mutual understanding and mutual respect.
We do not forget the past but need to put it behind to look forward to the future. With the tradition of offering peace and friendship, Vietnam always desires to work with its partners to build and reinforce strategic trust for peace, cooperation and development on the basis of the principle of respect for independence, sovereignty, equality and mutual benefit.
Vietnam consistently persists with the foreign policy of independence, self-reliance, multilateralisation and diversification of external relations, being a friend and reliable partner to all nations, and a responsible member of the international community. Vietnam has spared no efforts to build and deepen strategic partnerships and mutually beneficial cooperative partnerships with other countries. It is also our desire to establish strategic partnerships with all the permanent members of the UN Security Council once the principles of independence, sovereignty, non-interference in the internal affairs of each other, mutual respect, equal and mutually beneficial cooperation are committed and seriously implemented.
At this prestigious forum, I have the honour to inform that Vietnam has decided to participate in UN peacekeeping operations, first in such areas as military engineering, military medicine and military observation.
Vietnam 's defence policy is that of peace and self-defence. Vietnam will not be a military ally to any country and will not allow any country to set up military bases on Vietnamese territory. Vietnam will not ally itself with any country to counter another.
In the past years, sustained high economic growth has enabled Vietnam to increase its national defence budget at a reasonable level. Vietnam 's army modernisation is only for self-defence and the safeguard of our legitimate interests. It does not, in any way target any other country.
With regard to the present threats and challenges to regional security such as the Korean Peninsula, the East China Sea and the East Sea, etc., Vietnam perseveres to the principle of peaceful dispute settlement on the basis of international law, respecting the independence, sovereignty and the legitimate interests of each other. All parties concerned need to exercise self-restraint and must not resort to force or threat to use force.
Once again, Vietnam reiterates its consistent compliance with the ASEAN Six-point Statement on the East Sea and will do its utmost to work together with ASEAN and China to seriously observe the DOC and soon arrive at the COC. As a coastal State, Vietnam reaffirms and defends its legitimate rights and interests in accordance with international law, especially the 1982 UNCLOS.
Peace, cooperation and development represent the interest, the ardent aspirations and the common future of all countries and peoples. In the open spirit of the Shangri-La Dialogue, I would call upon you all to join hands and make concrete actions to build and reinforce strategic trust for an Asia-Pacific region of peace, cooperation and prosperity.
Thank you very much for your kind attention.
