The First Time Ever I saw Your Team: Fleetwood Town
John McCormick writes: I don't know what Pete Sixsmith's on about in his opening paragraph.
I can't disagree with his comment about the average Rugby League prop forward but saying Maths sums are hard is a bit much, and surely he knows that some metals are soft. Perhaps his phrase " very hard" covers both wood and metal. That kind of ambiguity is one of the niceties of the English language. Another nicety is the way it allows the construction of beautiful prose, words which flow and transport the reader to another world, place or time, but I suppose all languages have that power and it's up to the writer to wield it.
Which Pete does once again, as he transports you to the coast of Lancashire via the Northern Premier League:
This is the hardest one EVER. It's as hard as a very hard Maths sum, as hard as a piece of very hard wood or even metal and definitely as hard as the head of the average Rugby League prop forward.
I have seen Fleetwood play a number of times but rarely away from home. When it comes to doing The First Time Ever I Saw Your Ground in March, it will be a doddle as I have been to Highbury before it was done up and four times since they rose up the leagues. But away from home????
My memory suggests that the first time I saw them was at Bishop Auckland's old Kingsway Ground in the late 80's or early 90's. I have no recollection of the game other than it was a pleasure to see traditional shirts as Bishops played in light and dark blue halves and Fleetwood played in red shirts with white sleeves a la Arsenal.
They have had an "interesting" time over the last 40+ years. Formed in 1908, they pottered on in the Lancashire Combination against the likes of Eccles Borough and Chorley (piece of cake beating them), Nelson, who they would have to keep an eye out for and Morecambe who they presumably were wise to.
In 1968, they joined the new Northern Premier League along with that well-known English team Bangor City and three from our area in Gateshead, South Shields and Ashington. A tenth-place finish in that inaugural season was perfectly acceptable and they spent the next eight years contentedly travelling to places like Scarborough, Gainsborough and Macclesfield.
Alas, they folded in 1976, reformed the next year and joined the Cheshire League, where opponents included New Mills, the home of Swizzell Sweets, Hyde United, home of Dr Leonard Shipman and Formby, not the home of toothy Lancashire ukulele player George.
They reached Wembley in the same year as we did – 1985 – and with the same outcome. Whereas we lost to Norwich City in the FL Cup, they went down to Halesowen Town in the FA Vase final. But whereas we never recovered from that defeat, slipping into Division Three two years later, Fleetwood were on the up and were back in the Northern Premier League the year after.
Marco at the Mags
They won the First Division in 1987 and were back in the Northern Premier Premier League, the Boutros Boutros Ghali of football divisions, and rose to sixth place in 1989-90, the same year that we were enjoying a fine season in Division Two, culminating in that wonderful play off game at The Sports Direct; Gates (13), Gabbiadini (82), pitch invasion (83).
While we were up and down in the 90s Fleetwood were definitely down and folded again in 1996 before resuming back in the North West Counties League as Fleetwood Freeport in 1997. They commenced in the Second Division playing against Daisy Hill (she wasn't very good), Blackpool Mechanics who finished bottom and had to be wrenched away from the league and Castleton Gabriels, no angels they.
This time, the club survived and readopted the suffix Town in 2002 which presumably attracted Andy Pilley to the club the next year. He had been made redundant when the energy company Enron had gone bust so he set up his own energy company, BES, in his spare bedroom. From the Wyre area, he came into a club that had a dilapidated stadium, limited revenue streams and in desperate need of someone to get hold of it and give it a good shake.
This he did. Money was invested as a result of the success of his company, Business Energy Solutions. The ground was rebuilt. The fan base grew. The Northern Premier League, the highest level that Fleetwood had ever played in, was won in 2008.
It took them two years to get out of Conference North and into the Conference. They won it two years later with Jamie Vardy, an expensive signing from FC Halifax Town, rattling in 28 goals before becoming the first million-pound non-league footballer when he moved to Leicester City.
All of this had been achieved under Micky Mellon but he and Pilley fell out and Graham Alexander came in to replace him. Promotion to Division Two was achieved in 2014 by beating Burton Albion at Wembley although Alexander was replaced by Steven Pressley after a poor start to life at this level. He in turn was replaced by Uwe Rossler who was succeeded by John Sheridan last year and he managed to keep them up before moving to Carlisle United. The current manager is…… well, we all know that, don't we.
They have come an awful long way since that game at Kingsway and my first view of Highbury in the 90s. Like AFC Wimbledon, Burton Albion and Accrington Stanley, they have plummeted to the depths but have risen and are a well-respected club who could possibly survive in the Championship as Burton did.
But they must be sent away with the proverbial flea in their ear on Saturday. Barton has made a good start to his managerial career and no doubt the Cod Army are enjoying the attention. Hopefully, our players will play close attention to the likes of midfielder Dean Marney, eight years at Burnley and a former team mate of the manager and forwards Ched Evans, on loan from Sheffield United, and Paddy Madden, a prolific scorer in his four years at Scunthorpe.

Sunderland, Bolton and Bury. Our League One financial ramble has to end somewhere.
Portsmouth then Sunderland, Ipswich, Rotherham, Peterborough and Coventry top our poll. But where are Lincoln?
Ipswich or Portsmouth? Rotherham or Peterborough? How about Lincoln or Coventry? It's your choice
Just Blackpool and Bolton, the financial ramble continues without Bury or Sunderland.

Can't believe I just spent 10 minutes watching that though a pretty good simulation of the playing style Jack Ross is adopting. With Gooch and Oviedo away with their national sides the line ups will be different. My expected line up with replacements in brackets if first choices not fit enough to start.
McLaughlin, Matthews (Love) Loovens (Osturk) Baldwin, Hume, Cattermole, Honeyman, McGeouch, Maguire, Maja, Wyke.
Incidentally, does anyone know if FFP and the Djilibodji, Ndong saga is affecting the club's ability to sign that Armenian? I get the feeling Ross would have him in the squad.

Just realised Gooch missed out on the international call up so that messes that prediction up. That might still be the starting line up with Gooch on the bench but the form he is in makes him difficult to leave out.
That could mean one from Cattermole, Maja and McGeouch joining the subs list. Nice problem for Ross to ponder as he drinks his late night Horlicks.

\section{Introduction}
The 1996 Particle Data Group (PDG) tables[1] now includes a broad non-strange
I=0 scalar $\sigma$ resonance referred to as $f_0$ (400-1200). This is based
in part on the T\"{o}rnqvist-Roos[2] re-analysis of low energy $\pi\pi$
scattering, finding a broad non-strange $\sigma$ meson in the 400-900~MeV
region with pole position $\sqrt{s_0}$ = 0.470 - i~0.250~MeV. Several
later comments in PRL[3-5] all stress the importance of rejecting[3] or
confirming[4,5] the above T\"{o}rnqvist-Roos[2] $\sigma$ meson analysis based on
(t-channel) crossing symmetry of this $\pi\pi$ process.

In this brief report we offer such a $\sigma$ meson-inspired crossing symmetry
model in support of Refs.~[2,4,5] based on chiral dynamics for strong
interaction $\pi\pi$ scattering (Sect.~II). This in turn supports the recent
$s$-wave $\pi\pi$ phase shift analyses[6] in Sect.~III using a negative
background phase obtaining a broad $\sigma$ resonance in the 535-650~MeV mass
region. This is more in line with the prior analysis of Ref.~[5] and with the
dynamically generated quark-level linear $\sigma$ model (L$\sigma$M) theory of
Ref.~[7] predicting $m_\sigma \approx$ 650~MeV. Section~IV looks instead at
processes involving two final-state pions where crossing symmetry plays no
role, such as for the DM2 experiment[8] J/$\Psi \to \omega\pi\pi$ and
for $\pi$N $\to \pi\pi$N polarization measurements[9]. Section~V
extends the prior crossing-symmetric strong interaction chiral dynamics to the
non-leptonic weak interaction $\Delta$I = $\frac{1}{2}$ decays $K^\circ
\to 2\pi$. We give our conclusions in Sect.~VI.

\section{Strong Interactions, Crossing Symmetry and the $\sigma$ Meson}
It has long been understood[10-12] that the non-strange isospin I=0 $\sigma$
meson is
the chiral partner of the I=1 pion. In fact Gell-Mann-L\'{e}vy's[10,11]
nucleon-level L$\sigma$M requires the meson-meson couplings to satisfy (with
$f_\pi \approx$ 93~MeV)
\begin{eqnarray}
g_{\sigma\pi\pi} = \frac{m_\sigma^2 - m_\pi^2}{2 f_\pi} = \lambda f_\pi\,\, ,
\end{eqnarray}
where $g_{\sigma\pi\pi}$ and $\lambda$ are the cubic and quartic meson couplings
respectively. On the other hand, the $\sigma$ meson pole for the $\pi\pi$
scattering amplitude at the soft point $s=m_\pi^2$ using (1) becomes
\begin{eqnarray}
M_{\pi\pi}^{\sigma {\rm pole}} = \frac{2g_{\sigma\pi\pi}^2}{s-m_\sigma^2}
\to
\frac{2 g_{\sigma\pi\pi}^2}{m_\pi^2 -
m_\sigma^2} = -\lambda = -M_{\pi\pi}^{\rm contact}\,\, .
\end{eqnarray}

The complete tree-level L$\sigma$M $\pi\pi$ amplitude is the sum of the quartic
contact amplitude $\lambda$ plus $\sigma$ poles added in a {\em crossing
symmetric} fashion from the s, t and u-channels. Using the chiral symmetry
soft-pion limit (2) combined with the (non-soft) Mandelstam relation s~+~t~+~
u~=~4$m_\pi^2$, the lead $\lambda$ contact $\pi\pi$ amplitude miraculously
cancels[11]. Not surprisingly, the resulting net $\pi^a\pi^b \to
\pi^c\pi^d$ amplitude in the L$\sigma$M is the low energy model-independent
Weinberg amplitude[13].
\begin{eqnarray}
M_{\pi\pi} = \frac{s - m_\pi^2}{f_\pi^2}~\delta^{ab} \delta^{cd} + \frac{t -
m_\pi^2}{f_\pi^2}~\delta^{ac} \delta^{bd} + \frac{u - m_\pi^2}{f_\pi^2}~
\delta^{ad} \delta^{bc}\,\, ,
\end{eqnarray}
due to partial conservation of axial currents (PCAC) applied
crossing-consistently to all three s, t, u-channels. Recall that the underlying
PCAC identity $\partial A^i = f_\pi m_\pi^2 \phi_\pi$, upon which the Weinberg
crossing-symmetric PCAC relation (3) is based, was originally obtained from the
L$\sigma$M lagrangian[10,11].

Although the above (L$\sigma$M) Weinberg PCAC $\pi\pi$ amplitude (3) predicts
an $s$-wave I=0 scattering length[13] $a_{\pi\pi}^{(0)} = 7 m_\pi/32\pi f_\pi^2
\approx 0.16~m_\pi^{-1}$ which is $\sim$30\% less than first obtained from
$K_{\ell 4}$ data[14], more precise experiments are now under consideration.
Moreover a simple chiral-breaking scattering-length correction $\Delta
a_{\pi\pi}^0$ follows from the L$\sigma$M using a Weinberg-like
crossing-symmetric form[15]
\begin{eqnarray}
M_{\pi\pi}^{abcd} = A(s,t,u) \delta^{ab} \delta^{cd} + A(t,s,u) \delta^{ac}
\delta^{bd} + A(u,t,s) \delta^{ad} \delta^{bc}\,\, , \\
A^{L \sigma M} (s,t,u) = -2\lambda \left[1 - \frac{2 \lambda
f_\pi^2}{m_\sigma^2 -s}\right]~=~\left(\frac{m_\sigma^2 - m_\pi^2}
{m_\sigma^2 - s}\right) \left(\frac{s - m_\pi^2}{f_\pi^2}\right)\,\, ,
\end{eqnarray}
where the L$\sigma$M Eq.~(1) has been used to obtain the second form of (5).
Then the I=0 s-channel amplitude 3A(s, t, u) + A(t, s, u) + A(u, t, s) predicts
the $s$-wave scattering length at s = 4$m_\pi^2$, t = u = 0 using the L$\sigma$M
amplitude (5) with $\varepsilon = m_\pi^2/m_\sigma^2 \approx 0.046$ for the
L$\sigma$M mass[7] $m_\sigma \approx$ 650~MeV:
\begin{eqnarray}
a_{\pi\pi}^{(0)}|_{\rm{L}\sigma {\rm M}} \approx \left( \frac{7 + \varepsilon}{1 -
4\varepsilon} \right) \frac{m_\pi}{32\pi f_\pi^2} \approx (1.23) \frac{7
m_\pi}{32\pi f_\pi^2} \approx 0.20 m_\pi^{-1}\,\, .
\end{eqnarray}
This simple 23\% L$\sigma$M enhancement of the Weinberg PCAC prediction[13]
agrees in magnitude with the much more complicated one-loop order chiral
perturbation theory approach[16] which also predicts an $s$-wave scattering
length correction of order $\Delta a_{\pi\pi}^0 \sim 0.04 m_\pi^{-1}$. This
indirectly supports a $\sigma$(650) scalar meson mass scale as used in (6).

The above ``miraculous (chiral symmetry) cancellation", due to Eqs.~(1) and
(2) has been extended to final-state pionic processes $A_1 \to
\pi(\pi\pi)_{s{\rm-wave}}$[17], $\gamma\gamma \to 2\pi^0$[18] and $\pi^- p
\to \pi^-\pi^+n$. In all of these cases the above L$\sigma$M
``miraculous cancellation" is simulated by a (non-strange) quark box -- quark
triangle cancellation due to the Dirac-matrix identity[17,18]
\begin{eqnarray}
\frac{1}{\gamma.p-m}~2m\gamma_5~\frac{1}{\gamma.p-m}~=~-\gamma_5~
\frac{1}{\gamma.p-m}~-~\frac{1}{\gamma.p-m}~\gamma_5\,\, ,
\end{eqnarray}
combined with the quark-level Goldberger relation (GTR) $f_\pi g_{\pi qq} =
m_q$ and the L$\sigma$M meson couplings in (1).

Then the $u,d$ quark box graph in Fig.~1a for $A_1 \to 3\pi$ in the
chiral limit (miraculously) cancels the quark triangle graph of Fig.~1b coupled
to the $\sigma$ meson because of the GTR and the L$\sigma$M chiral meson
identity (1) along with the minus signs on the right-hand-side (rhs) of (7):
\begin{eqnarray}
M_{A_13\pi}^{\rm box} + M_{A_13\pi}^{\rm tri} \to -\frac{1}{f_\pi} M(A_1
\to \sigma\pi) + \frac{1}{f_\pi} M(A_1 \to \sigma\pi) = 0\,\, .
\end{eqnarray}
This soft pion theorem[17] in (8) is compatible with the PDG tables[1] listing
the decay rate $\Gamma[A_1 \to \pi(\pi\pi)_{sw}] = 1 \pm 1$~MeV.

Similarly, the $\gamma\gamma \to 2\pi^0$ quark box graph suppresses the
quark triangle $\sigma$ resonance graph in the 700~MeV region, also compatible
with $\gamma\gamma \to 2\pi^0$ cross section data[18]. Finally, the
peripheral pion in $\pi^- p \to \pi^-\pi^+n$ sets up an analogous
$\pi\pi$ or quark box -- quark triangle $s$-wave soft pion cancellation which
completely suppresses any such $\sigma$ resonance -- also an experimental fact
for $\pi^- p \to \pi^-\pi^+n$.

\section{$\pi\pi$ Phase Shifts}
The above miraculous (chiral) cancellation in $\pi\pi \to \pi\pi, A_1
\to 3\pi, \gamma\gamma \to 2\pi^0$ and $\pi^- p \to
\pi^-\pi^+n$ amplitudes and in data lends indirect support to the analyses of
Refs.~[2,4,5]. Reference~[3] claims instead that the I=0 and I=2 $\pi\pi$ phase
shifts require t-channel forces due to ``exotic", crossing-asymmetric
resonances in the I=$\frac{3}{2}$ and 2 cross-channels rather than due a broad
low-mass scalar $\sigma$ meson (in the s-channel). We suggest that this latter
picture in Ref.~[3] does not take account of the crossing-symmetric extent of
the chiral $\pi\pi$ forces in all three s, t and u-channels, leading to the
above miraculous chiral cancellation.

Specifically the recent $\pi\pi$ phase shift analyses in Refs.~[6] use a
negative background phase approach compatible with unitarity. This background
phase has a hard core of size $r_c \approx 0.63~fm$ (the pion charged radius)
such that $\delta^{BG} = -p_\pi^{\rm CM}r_c$. Combining this background phase with
the observed $\pi\pi$ phase shifts (e.g., of CERN-Munich or Cason {\em et
al.}), the new I=0 phase shift goes through 90$^\circ$ resonance in the range
535-650~MeV, while the I=2 phase shift does not resonate but remains negative
as observed. References~[6] justify this background phase approach because of
the ``compensating $\lambda\phi^4$ contact (L$\sigma$M) interaction". From our
Sect.~II we rephrase this as due to the {\em crossing symmetric}
L$\sigma$M chiral `miraculous cancellation'[11] which recovers Weinberg's[13]
PCAC $\pi\pi$ amplitude in our Eq.~(3).

Then Refs.~[6] choose a slightly model-dependent form factor F(s) (designed to
fit the lower energy region below 400~MeV) along with the best-fitted $\sigma
\to \pi\pi$ effective coupling (double the L$\sigma$M field theory
coupling (1)). This gives the resonant $\sigma$ width[6]
\begin{eqnarray}
\Gamma_R(s) = \frac{p_\pi^{\rm CM}}{8\pi s} [g_R F(s)]^2 \approx 340~
{\rm MeV} \ \ {\rm
at}~~~\sqrt{s}_R \approx 600~{\rm MeV},~~~g_R \approx 3.6~{\rm GeV} \,\, ,
\end{eqnarray}
for $p_\pi^{\rm CM} = \sqrt{s/4 - m_\pi^2} \approx 260$~MeV. However, the
decay width in (9) accounts only for $\sigma \to \pi^+\pi^-$ decay. To
include as well the $\sigma \to \pi^0\pi^0$ decay mode, one must scale
up (9) by a factor of 3/2:
\begin{eqnarray}
\Gamma_{\sigma \to 2\pi} = \frac{3}{2} \Gamma_R(s) \approx 510~{\rm MeV} \,\, ,
\end{eqnarray}
not incompatible with Refs.~[1,2,5] but still slightly below Weinberg's recent
mended chiral symmetry (MCS) prediction[19]
\begin{eqnarray}
\global\def15b{11a}
\Gamma_{\sigma \to 2\pi}^{\rm MCS} = \frac{9}{2} \Gamma_\rho \approx
680~{\rm MeV} \,\, ,
\end{eqnarray}
or the L$\sigma$M decay width[15]
\begin{eqnarray}
\global\def15b{11b}
\Gamma_{\sigma \to 2\pi}^{L\sigma M} = \frac{3}{2}~~
\frac{p_\pi^{\rm CM}}{8\pi}~~\frac{(2g_{\sigma\pi\pi})^2}{m_\sigma^2} \approx
580~{\rm MeV}\,\, ,
\end{eqnarray}
for $m_\sigma \approx$ 600~MeV.
Note too that the best fit $\sigma \to \pi^+\pi^-$ effective coupling
in Refs.~[6] of 3.60~GeV is close to the L$\sigma$M value in (1) at $m_\sigma^R
\approx 600$~MeV:
\begin{eqnarray}
\global\def15b{\arabic{equation}}
\setcounter{equation}{12}
g_R \to 2 g_{\sigma\pi\pi} = (m_\sigma^2 - m_\pi^2)/f_\pi \approx
3.66~{\rm GeV} \,\, .
\end{eqnarray}

\section{Crossing-Asymmetric Determinations of $\sigma$ (600-750)}
With hindsight, the clearest way to measure the $\sigma \to \pi\pi$
signal is to avoid
$\pi\pi \to \pi\pi, \gamma\gamma \to 2\pi^\circ, \pi^- p
\to \pi^-\pi^+n$ scatterings or $A_1 \to \pi(\pi\pi)_{sw}$
decay, since these processes are always plagued by the $\pi\pi$ miraculous
chiral cancellation in (2) or an underlying quark box -- triangle cancellation
due to (7) as in (8). First consider the 1989 DM2 experiment[8] $J/\Psi
\to \omega\pi\pi$. Their Fig.~13 fits of the $\pi^+\pi^-$ and
$\pi^\circ\pi^\circ$ distributions clearly show the known non-strange narrow
$f_2$(1270) resonance along with a broad $\sigma$(500) ``bump" (both bumps are
non-strange and the accompanying $\omega$ is 97\% non-strange). Moreover,
DM2 measured the
(low mass) $\sigma$ width as[8]
\begin{eqnarray}
\Gamma_{\sigma \to \pi\pi}^{\rm DM2} = 494 \pm 58~{\rm MeV} \,\, ,
\end{eqnarray}
very close to the modified Ref.~[6] $\sigma$ width fit of 510~MeV in Eq.~(10).

Finally, this Fig.~13 of DM2[8] clearly shows that the nearby $f_0$(980) bump
in the $\pi\pi$ distribution is only a ``pimple" by comparison. This suggests
that the observed[1] $f_0(980) \to \pi\pi$ decay mode proceeds via a
small $\sigma - f_0$ mixing angle and that $f_0$(980) is primarily an
$\overline{s}s$ meson, compatible with the analyses of Refs.~[2,20]. However,
such a conclusion is not compatible with the $\overline{q}\overline{q}qq$ or
$K\overline{K}$ molecule studies noted in Ref.~[3].

Lastly, polarization measurements are also immune to the (spinless) miraculous
chiral cancellation[11] in $\pi\pi \to \pi\pi$. This detailed
polarization analysis of Ref.~[9] approximately obtains the $\rho$ (770) mass
and 150~MeV decay width. While the resulting
$\sigma$ mass of 750~MeV is well within the range reported in the 1996 PDG[1]
and closer to the $\sigma$ mass earlier extracted from $\pi\pi \to
K\overline{K}$ studies in Ref.~[21], the inferred $\sigma$ width of
$\Gamma_\sigma \sim 200-300$~MeV in Ref.~[9] is much narrower than reported in
Refs.~[1, 2, 8, 21] or in our above analysis.

\section{$K^\circ \to 2\pi$ Weak Decays and the $\sigma$(600-700)
Meson}
To show that the $\sigma$(600-700) scalar meson also arises with chiral
crossing-symmetric weak forces, we consider the $\Delta$I=1/{2} --
dominant $K^\circ \to 2\pi$ decays. To manifest such a
$\Delta$I=1/2 transition, we first consider the virtual $K^\circ~I=\frac{1}{2}$
meson t-channel tadpole graph of Fig.~2. Here the weak tadpole transition
$<0|H_w|K^\circ>$ clearly selects out the $\Delta$I=1/2 part of the
parity-violating component of $H_w$, while the adjoining strong interaction
$K^\circ\overline{K}^\circ \to \pi\pi$ is the kaon analogue of the
t-channel
$\pi\pi \to \pi\pi$, with Weinberg-type PCAC[22] amplitude
($t-m_\pi^2)/2f_\pi^2$ for $t=(p_K-0)^2=m_K^2$. Then the $\Delta$I=1/2
amplitude magnitude is[23]
\begin{eqnarray}
|<\pi\pi|H_w|K^\circ>| = \frac{|<0|H_w|K^\circ>|}{2f_\pi^2}
(1-m_\pi^2/m_K^2)\,\, .
\end{eqnarray}

A crossed version of this $\Delta$I=1/2 transition (14) is due to the
s-channel I=0 $\sigma$ meson pole graph of Fig.~3 at $s=m_K^2$[24]. This leads
to the $\Delta$I=1/2 amplitude magnitude
\begin{eqnarray}
\global\def15b{15a}
|<\pi\pi|H_w|K^\circ>|=|<\pi\pi|\sigma> \frac{1}{m_K^2-m_\sigma^2 +
im_\sigma\Gamma_\sigma} <\sigma|H_w|K^\circ>|\,\, .
\end{eqnarray}
Applying chiral symmetry $<\sigma|H_w|K^\circ>=<\pi^\circ|H_w|K^\circ>$
(converting the former parity-violating to the latter parity-conserving
transition) along with the L$\sigma$M values $|<\pi\pi|\sigma>|\linebreak[4]
= m_\sigma^2/f_\pi$
from (1) and $\Gamma_\sigma \approx m_\sigma$ to (15a), one sees that the
$\sigma$ mass scale cancels out of (15a), yielding[25]
\begin{eqnarray}
\global\def15b{15b}
|<\pi\pi|H_w|K^\circ>| \approx |<\pi^\circ|H_w|K^\circ>/f_\pi|\,\, .
\end{eqnarray}

Not only has (15b) been derived by other chiral methods[26], but (15b) also is
equivalent to (14) in the $m_\pi=0$ chiral limit because weak chirality
$[Q,H_w]=-[Q_5,H_w]$ for V-A weak currents and PCAC clearly require
$|<\pi^\circ|H_w|K^\circ>| \approx |<0|H_w|K^\circ>/2f_\pi|$, as needed.

Thus, we see that the existence of an I=0 scalar $\sigma$ meson below 1~GeV
manifests crossing symmetry (from the t to the s-channel) for the dominant
$\Delta$I=1/2 equivalent amplitudes (14) and (15b). Further use of the
quark model and the GIM mechanism[27] converts the $K_{2\pi}^\circ$ amplitudes
in (14) or (15b) to the scale[23] $24 \times 10^{-8}$~GeV, close to the
observed $K_{2\pi}^\circ$ amplitudes[1].

While the $\Delta$I=1/2 $K^\circ \to 2\pi$ decays are controlled by the
tadpole diagram in Fig.~2 (similar to $\Delta$I=1 Coleman-Glashow tadpole for
electromagnetic (em) mass splittings[28,29]), the smaller  $\Delta$I=3/2 $K^+
\to 2\pi$ amplitude is in fact suppressed by ``exotic"  I=3/2 meson
cross-channel Regge trajectories[30] (in a manner similar to the I=2
cross-channel exotic Regge exchange for the $\pi^+ - \pi^\circ$ em mass
difference[31]). This latter duality nature of crossing symmetry for  exotic
I=3/2 and I=2 channels was invoked in Ref.~[3] to {\em reject} the low mass
$\sigma$ meson scheme reported in the 1996 PDG tables~[1] based in part on the
data analysis of Ref.~[2]. That is, for exotic I=2 and I=3/2 (t-channel) dual
exchanges, the dynamical dispersion relations thus generated are unsubtracted,
so that one can then directly estimate the observed $\Delta$I=2 em mass
differences[32] and also the $\Delta$I=3/2 weak $K_{2\pi}^+$ decay
amplitude[33]. However, for I=1 and I=1/2 dual exchanges, the resulting
dispersion relations are once-subtracted, with subtraction constants
corresponding to contact  $\Delta$I=1 and $\Delta$I=1/2 tadpole diagrams for em
and weak transitions, respectively. Contrary to Ref.~[3], we instead suggest
that these duality pictures for exotic I=3/2 and I=2 channels of Refs.~[30,31]
in fact help {\em support} the existence of the I=0 chiral $\sigma$ meson in
Refs.~[2,4-7].

\section{Summary}
We have studied both strong and weak interactions involving two final-state
pions at low energy, using chiral and crossing symmetry to reaffirm the
existence of the low-mass I=0 scalar $\sigma$ meson below 1~GeV. This supports
the recent phenomenological data analyses in Refs.~[2,4-6] and the quark-level
linear $\sigma$ model [L$\sigma$M] theory of Ref.~[7].

In Sect.~II we focussed on $\pi\pi$ scattering and the crossing symmetry
miraculous chiral cancellation[11] in the L$\sigma$M and its extension to the
quark box -- quark triangle soft pion cancellation[17,18]. Such chiral
cancellations in $\pi\pi \to \pi\pi, A_1 \to 3\pi, \gamma\gamma
\to 2\pi^0, \pi^- p \to \pi^-\pi^+n$ in turn suppress the
appearance of the $\sigma$(600-700) meson. Then in Sect.~III we supported the
recent re-analyses[6] of $\pi\pi$ phase shift data invoking a negative
background phase. This led to an I=0 $\sigma$ meson in the 535-650~MeV region,
but with a broader width $\Gamma_\sigma \sim$ 500~MeV than found in Refs.~[6]
(but not incompatible with the 1996 PDG $\sigma$ width[1]).

In Sect.~IV we briefly reviewed two different crossing-asymmetric
determinations of the I=0~$\sigma$(600-750) which circumvent the above
crossing-symmetric `miraculous' chiral suppression of the $\sigma$ meson.
Finally, in Sect.~V we reviewed how the low mass I=0 $\sigma$ meson s-channel
pole for $\Delta$I=1/2 $K^0 \to 2\pi$ decays is needed to cross over to
the t-channel $\Delta$I=1/2 tadpole graph (which in turn fits data). This
$\Delta$I=1/2 crossing-symmetry $K \to \pi\pi$ picture was also
extended by crossing duality to justify why the (much smaller) $\Delta$I=3/2
$K_{2\pi}^+$ decay is controlled by exotic I=3/2 t-channel Regge
trajectories[30], while the above I=1/2 dispersion relation has a (tadpole)
non-exotic Regge subtraction constant.

I love the fact that hundreds of people come to Focus on bursaries, or even for nothing. Others give generously to make this possible.
A few months later the mother who had written to me unexpectedly inherited some money from a distant relative. She gave extraordinarily generously. The amount far more than covered the bursary she and her family had received.
This is a practical outworking of the New Testament principle that those who can afford give to help those who cannot afford – so that there might be equality: 'At the present time your plenty will supply what they need, so that in turn their plenty will supply what you need' (2 Corinthians 8:14).
So much of our world is taken up with thinking, writing and talking about money, wealth and riches. The Bible has a great deal to say about these subjects. However, the biblical position is in contrast to that of today's culture.
In today's New Testament passage, Paul tells us that the whole point of the incarnation of Jesus was that you might 'become rich' (v.9). However, the passages for today totally redefine this world's understanding of the word 'rich'.
However much money you may acquire, it doesn't guarantee success in life: 'victory rests with the Lord' (v.31).
Reputation is far more important than riches. It is better to do what is right than to make more money by cutting corners, dubious practices or greed. 'A sterling reputation is better than striking it rich; a gracious spirit is better than money in the bank' (22:1, MSG).
Our culture values those on the 'rich list' far more than those dying of starvation in the poorer parts of the world. But the writer of Proverbs says, 'The rich and the poor shake hands as equals – God made them both!' (v.2, MSG).
The way of true riches is 'humility and the fear of the Lord' (v.4a). This brings 'riches and honour and life' (v.4b, AMP). It may sometimes bring material wealth. But the New Testament tells us that it always brings something of far more lasting value – spiritual riches in Christ.
Put God first in your life. His plans for you are 'good, pleasing and perfect' (Romans 12:2). And 'there is no wisdom, no insight, no plan that can succeed against the Lord' (Proverbs 21:30).
Lord, help me to live a life of integrity and generosity, humility and fear of the Lord.
So many people want to get rich. There are many examples of people going from 'rags to riches'. However, there are few who have deliberately chosen to go from riches to rags!
Yet, right at the heart of our faith is one who chose to do exactly that: 'For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, so that you through his poverty might become rich' (v.9). This is the heart of the gospel.
Jesus is the example we are to follow. Not only did he leave the riches of heaven for the poverty of an earthly life, but in that earthly life he chose to be born in poverty and died in the most extreme poverty imaginable.
He came to earth with nowhere to lay his head, and he hung, naked and in agony, on the cross. He did this in order that you might become rich – that you might have all the spiritual treasures of Christ. Jesus has shown us the supreme example of 'rich generosity' and what it means to 'become rich'.
The Macedonian churches followed his example: 'The trial exposed their true colours: They were incredibly happy, though desperately poor. The pressure triggered something totally unexpected: an outpouring of pure and generous gifts. I was there and saw it for myself. They gave offerings of whatever they could – far more than they could afford! – pleading for the privilege of helping out in the relief of poor Christians' (v.2–4, MSG).
Although they were extremely poor, they worked out how much they could give and they gave even more than that.
Paul urged the Corinthians to follow their example. There were many areas of their lives that were excellent (v.7a). Paul said, 'See that you also excel in this grace of giving' (v.7c).
Paul then expounds the New Testament principle that those who have should give to support those who have not (vv.13–15). We see this principle at work at Focus and on many other occasions, including the Alpha Weekends. We invite those who cannot afford to pay to come for nothing (or for whatever they can afford). At the Weekend, we have an offering so that those who can afford it help to pay for those who cannot.
Lord, help me to follow the example of Jesus' generosity and to excel in the grace of giving.
As Lily Allen sings in 'The Fear', if we focus on the wrong things we are 'taken over by the fear'. But Isaiah says, 'Don't fear what they fear. Don't take on their worries. If you're going to worry, worry about The Holy. Fear God-of-the-Angel-Armies' (8:12–13, MSG). The antidote to our irrational fears and worries is faith. Isaiah writes 'I will wait for the LORD… I will put my trust in him' (v.17).
He warns against focusing on the occult, fortune-tellers, spiritualists and consulting the dead (v.19): 'Tell them, "No, we're going to study the Scriptures." People who try the other ways get nowhere – a dead end… A blank wall, an empty hole. They end up in the dark with nothing' (vv.20–22, MSG).
He also warns against pride and 'arrogance of heart' (9:9). In addition, he has much to say on the subject of riches.
First, riches in themselves do not satisfy: 'Appetites insatiable, stuffing and gorging themselves left and right with people and things. But still they starved' (v.20, MSG). However much money we make, it will never satisfy the deep spiritual hunger in every human heart.
Second, he warns against making money at the expense of the poor (10:1–3). Injustice is at the heart of so much suffering in the world: 'Doom to you who legislate evil, who make laws that make victims – Laws that make misery for the poor, that rob my destitute people of dignity, exploiting defenceless widows, taking advantage of homeless children' (vv.1–2, MSG).
There are many countries in the world where we can see exactly this happening. A few people become very rich at the expense of the poor, the widows and the orphans. There are unjust laws and no justice for the people. Isaiah asks the question about the day of judgment: 'Where will you leave your riches?' (v.3d). All this money at the end of the day is utterly meaningless: 'What good will all your money do you?' (v.3d, MSG).
Into this world of injustice and inequality the prophet Isaiah sees a different kind of ruler arising – the ultimate fulfilment was, of course, in Jesus Christ: 'For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counsellor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Of the increase of his government and peace there will be no end' (9:6–7a).
The more you allow the rule of Jesus in your life, the more he directs your plans, decisions, conversations and thoughts – the wiser you will become and, instead of being 'taken over by the fear', the more you will experience his peace.
Peace does not come from money, riches, success, promotion, clothes or diamonds. It comes from living under the rule of Jesus in justice and righteousness, following his example of rich generosity.
Lord, I worship you, the Wonderful Counsellor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father and Prince of Peace. Help me to follow your example of generosity and find the path to true riches, honour and life.
I'm so grateful to everyone who's invested their time, love and prayers in our children. Never underestimate the importance of your time spent with children – whether as a parent, a children's worker or teacher. Your investment will reap a huge dividend. Your teaching and example will help to build people of faith and character.
that can succeed against the LORD' (Proverbs 21:30).
Lily Allen, 'The Fear', It's Not Me, It's You, (Regal, 2009).

Immigrants, Emigrants, and Migrants
A reader asks:
Emigrate, immigrate, migrate. What is the proper usage of these words? It seems like the [use] is indiscriminate.
All three words trace their origin to the Latin verb migrare, "to remove from one place to another." This common ancestor gives English four verbs:
migrate: to move, either temporarily or permanently, from one place, area, or country of residence to another
emigrate: (e, "out" + migrate) to remove out of country for the purpose of settling in another.
immigrate: (im, "in, into" + migrate) to come to settle in a country not one's own; to pass into a new place of residence.
transmigrate: (trans, "across" + migrate) of the soul: to pass after death into another body.
The verbs yield several noun forms, some of which are also used as adjectives:
emigrant
transmigration
Usage examples from the Web:
There is a challenge for policy-makers to understand the obstacles migrants face in Australia.
Committee on Migrant Workers discusses role of migration statistics for treaty reporting and migration policies.
Although not common, two additional adjectives sometimes seen are immigrational and migrational.
From Multiculturalism to Immigrational Survavalism [sic] (headline at novitiate.com)
Immigrational Background Affects the Effectiveness of a School-based Overweight Prevention Program Promoting Water Consumption (title of research paper)
A common error is to confuse immigrant and emigrant. Here's an instance when etymological information can help with spelling. Just remember that the prefix im- means "in" and that the prefix e- means "out":
When Charles Darnay fled France to escape the guillotine, he was an emigrant. When he settled in England, he was an immigrant.
A migrant is simply on the move, not necessarily planning a permanent change of address.
Plants and animals also migrate, as do things on computers.

This confusion is a product of English's confusion over what kind of language it is. The prefix IM- is variation of IN- which is Germanic and means in. The prefix E- is Latin in origin and means out. So why do we pair these at all? If we'd just say immigration and outmigration, we wouldn't have these troubles!

Suppose that we live in an unnamed place or in Greece, and George Green moved from Greece to settle in America.
Some of us wrote or said "George immigated to America." WRONG, but people misuse that phrase all the time.
George really "emigated to America."
Suppose that George moved from some unnamed place to settle in Canada. Then, George immigrated to (or into) Canada.
The third case is the more confusing one. I believe that such statements should be uniformly written in "from – to" order, just the way that engineers and technologists to it, but such writers and speakers as journalists and broadcasters seem to know NOTHING about this. (Note the statement "From the Earth to the Moon", as the translation of the novel by Jules Verne states**.) They have no idea that having such logical standards makes everything easier to understand.
If we know that George Green moved from Greece and he settled in Mesa Verde, Arizona, then George Green emigrated from Greece to Mesa Verde. (Not immigrated.)
"George Green immigrated to Mesa Verde from Greece" is awkward because it does not follow the logical standard of "from – to".
**Note that it is not "To the Moon from the Earth".
Also, "Charles Lindbergh flew from New York City to Paris, nonstop, in 1927" is true and is commonly stated.
"Interstate Highway 80 runs from the Hudson River west all the way to San Francisco."
"Daniel Boone emigrated from Pennsylvania to Kentucky to eastern Missouri." (The small village that grew up around his house in St. Louis County is named Defiance, Missouri.)
I cannot explaing the use of "from – to" order in electrical, mechanical, or aerospace engineering because it would take up too much room here, and most of you would not understand it, either. Sorry….

This means that the punishment should fit the crime. In other words, if you jaywalk, you shouldn't get the death penalty.
It is not a call for bloody revenge, though that is often how it is interpreted, particularly by people who wish to discredit the Old Testament.
He was asked a Bible verse. And he gave a Bible verse. What's the problem?
A more concise verse would be in Genesis 9:6..
It does seem Trump is more in tune with a revanchist age, however.
God would rather we choose people who will take a gospel attitude, however He will let us have our fill of hell if we insist. This doesn't mean the state has to be run by the church. Its standards don't need to be as exacting as the church.
I am almost forced to confess... both of them are weird.
Donald might be a smidgen more competent in practical areas, but frankly our salvation is not in a presidential candidate, not even if we could have the rebirth of Ronald Reagan. It's in Jesus Christ.
The BBC presenter was having none of it and laughed at the apparent ignorance of the militia leader saying the bible says no such thing and then ended the interview.
BUT... As usual, when a liberal tries to define the bible he was wrong. The new testament does indeed say sell your cloak and buy a sword.
And then it never spells out what to do, though apparently chopping off a Roman soldier's ear to save Jesus is wrong.
The act of martyrdom is taken to a high art form by the gospel. The difference is that Jesus says turn your OWN cheek. He never says bring your NEIGHBORS' cheeks to their enemies.
38 "You have heard that it was said, 'An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.' 39 But I say to you, Do not resist the one who is evil. But if anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also. 40 And if anyone would sue you and take your tunic, let him have your cloak as well. 41 And if anyone forces you to go one mile, go with him two miles. 42 Give to the one who begs from you, and do not refuse the one who would borrow from you.
You might not want to open that can of worms, or you're likely to encounter multiple very inconvenient passages about treating "the alien among you" with compassion and as native born.
Don't blame me. I didn't write it.
in a world of excessive opporession and injustice, it taught/teaches that punishments should be limited to not fit/not exceed the crime. This reflects justice and high respect for individual liberty and the sanctity of life. The verse came to be interpreted/applied in coordination with the many additional Biblical verses detailing or 'flushing out' this concept of just and limited punishments ...such as requiring the guilty to provide the victim with compensatory payment (instead of any actual blinding of a defendant, which would not do the victim any tangible justice...and which in some instances could not be inflictred at any event). All in all, allowing for various opinions of course, the cited verse is stil a very important part of Biblical teaching. It surely is not something to be ridiculed...imho.
Matthew 21: 12And Jesus entered the temple and drove out all those who were buying and selling in the temple, and overturned the tables of the money changers and the seats of those who were selling doves. 13And He said to them, "It is written, 'MY HOUSE SHALL BE CALLED A HOUSE OF PRAYER'; but you are making it a ROBBERS' DEN."
Not exactly "turning the other cheek".
This isn't necessarily an analogous situation: Jesus wasn't attacked. I wouldn't want to get in the weeds of this: I think, for example, that Luther was acting in the example of Jesus when he condemned the sellers of indulgences, turning the church into a den of robbers, but the issue of when to turn the other cheek and when to demonstrate zeal for the Father's house is a difficult issue.
But I'd like to get back to the original issue, and propose a different solution. I have read the Bible perhaps 20 times, and I say that the same way Paul "boasted" about his Jewishness, which is to say I am not proud of this, I should have read it perhaps 200 times more. But if someone were to ask me my favorite Bible verse, I would have to admit that I don't have one. It is like asking who is my favorite child--or, a better analogy, what aspect of God's existence is my favorite. There is none; I am grateful for every yot and tittle. Which is one of the billion reasons I would never run for President, because most people, including I fear most people in the church, would perceive that as a politically astute dodge, which is the opposite of what it is.
I have no problem with that—We Christians (and conservatives) have been turning the other cheek and getting slapped silly for far too long.


Fashion changes over time and so does perfume, however, spending a fortune on contemporary trending items is impractical and ludicrous. The fanciful illusion of the "IT" icon is so tempting to the consumers who are blind-folded by the material culture of today society. In fact, it is nothing but chasing rainbows. Similarly, the value of a certain perfume does not depend on the date it is realesed but the on the person who wears it. Launched in 2010, the Pure DKNY has been the statement for not only women revolution in Uganda but also the sustainability of the mother Earth.

This Quick and Zesty Lemon Garlic Tilapia recipe is adapted from one by Sam's Club. It takes 10 minutes to prepare and, while it bakes for 8 minutes, the rest of the meal comes together, making the total time spent in the kitchen about half an hour.
Tilapia, native to Africa, are now commercially farmed around the world, making them extremely affordable, and the third-most-popular cultivated fish. The low-fat flesh is firm, white, sweet and fine-textured and suitable for baking, broiling, steaming and stove-top grilling, but not so much on outdoor grills.
Heat oven to 400 F. In a small bowl, combine lemon pepper seasoning, paprika, salt, garlic, onion, dill or basil, and oil, stirring until paste forms.
Drizzle lemon juice over both sides of tilapia. Rub spice paste onto both sides of tilapia. Place tilapia on a parchment-lined cookie sheet and bake 7 to 8 minutes or until cooked through.

The Gun Pub in Docklands voted best county dining pub in London
Else Kvist
Published: 2:06 PM September 7, 2012 Updated: 8:34 AM October 14, 2020
A historic pub in the Docklands has been voted the best county dining pub in the capital for the second year running.
The Gun, at Coldharbour, which was frequented by Lord Nelson until his death at the battle of Trafalgar in 1805, picked up the gong from The Good Pub Guide 2013.
The award is based on excellent reader reviews and an anonymous inspection by guide editors, Fiona Stapley and Alisdair Aird.
Ms Stapley said: "It was obvious from the excellent feedback that this pub was a cut above the rest.
"The Gun is a very deserving winner. They adhere to proper pub values within a contemporary setting and the menu is genuinely interesting and imaginative".
The ETM Group which own the pub was founded by brothers Tom and Ed Martin, who own nine other pubs across London.
Tom Martin said: "We are absolutely delighted to have won this significant award again. With London's gastropub scene burgeoning, it is a real achievement to have won it two years in a row and a testament to our fantastic kitchen and front of house team."

Been stitching! Helps me to feel better.
This quilt will be a gift for Jake's teacher after 2 years of magnificent teaching and support. Jake has come so far in the last 2 years and I give his teacher a significant chunk of the credit. We are so very grateful.
When I asked her about colours she answered that her couches were neutral coloured with red throw cushions (PERFECT!!) but then added that her bedroom was blue and yellow. "I really love blue and yellow" she added hopefully. Not so perfect in terms of the colours I like to work with but I hope I have found a combination that will work in either room.
Fabrics are mostly from Denyse Schmidt's "Picnic and Fairgrounds" range from earlier this year with a few other staples in the mix.
Attempting to channel the great Red Pepper goddess of quilting with this one. This quilt in particular!
Now on to basting and quilting. Hopefully I'll get it done soon so I can relax a little before our family birthday season is in full swing.
Happy stitching to you and yours.
The top looks great and I am sure it will be loved!
What a Lovely Gift that She will Treasure.
You are a godsend. I have this exact quilt waiting for inspiration to strike. Now I have seen how it can be quilted I am keen to make a start. I think you'll be done first as Im still piecing the back from leftovers.
The colours are gorgeous, what a lucky teacher...they don't get enough credit for the fabulous job they do. So generous of you!
I say it often - you are a clever custard!
So lovely to see you and yours on Sunday. Man, that boy has grown!!!
And I'm loving your quilty bits.
This will be a beautiful gift! Love how you combined her color wishes and ended up with the primary colors. It looks so fresh!
I think there is a lot of healing power in sewing, too. Enjoy the finishing of this pretty!
It's such a happy quilt top, and what a thoughtful gift. It sounds like this teacher has had quite an impact on your lives!
Amazing present for what must be an amazing teacher.
Beautiful quilt...it will make a fabulous gift!
Just caught your new camera Bag over at Nikki's. So you and very nice!!!
Oh, what a lovely quilt - Teacher will feel super-special!
Great pattern! Fab fabric!! Love your work AH.
What a special quilt to receive! I love it!
Hi.. Can you let me know what size strips you used for this quilt? Are they 2.5"? Thanks!

A car has crashed into a building in Bishop's Stortford causing what has been called 'extensive damage'.
Sawbridgeworth Fire Station shared the images of the incident, saying that their crew attended alongside the Bishop's Stortford crew.
They added: "Area made safe, structural engineer attended to assess damage and site left in his care."
Police, ambulance and fire crews were summoned to the incident (Image: Sawbridgeworth Fire Station)
The black Peugeot seemingly reversed into the block of flats at Braziers Quay.
The vehicle inflicted extensive damage to the exterior and interior walls.
A structural engineer attended to assess the damage
Police, ambulance and fire crews were summoned to the incident on Tuesday (February 11) at 4.05pm.
As many as five fire crews were spotted at the scene as residents were evacuated from their properties as a precaution while the damage was assessed.
According to reports, the driver of vehicle had driven into one of the blocks and was assessed by paramedics at the scene.
A spokesperson for Hertfordshire Constabulary said: "It was reported that a vehicle had collided with a block of flats, causing extensive damage.
"Officers attended, alongside the fire and ambulance services.
"A number of flats have been evacuated as a precaution while the damage is assessed.
"No one is believed to have been seriously injured during the incident."
Sawbridgeworth


who insists between Lake Garda and Lake Idro, it is bounded to the west by the mountains and Vesta and Stino from which it takes its name and to the north by the high peaks of Mount Cingla, Top Tombea and Monte Caplone.
This valley is administratively divided into two areas: Valvestino and Magasa.
Valvestino is composed of five villages and is located between the Valley Sabbia and Lake Garda, is behind the Riviera dei Limoni. The city hall is located in the country of Turano. Its territory includes the northern part of Lake Valvestino, an artificial lake created in 1960 with the waters of the river Toscolano.
The name Valvestino has probably originated in the name of Vesta and Stino Mountains which surround this area closing to the southwest.
Already in prehistoric lands of the mountain Valvestino were visited and settled first by Stoni, euganeo people, then by the Etruscans, Gauls Cenomani and later by the Romans, who founded the village.
At the end of the Roman Empire The valley was invaded by barbarians, as soon settled the Longobards, whose passage still leaves traces in the way of cover with wheat straw the rustic buildings at Cima Rest (Magasa). Following the Lombard era lasted for six centuries the domain of the Counts Lodron: the beginning of the eleventh century to 1805 the valley was in fact fief of the German Empire (then assigned to the Prince of Trento and Conti Lodron) subjected to thirty administration.
The condition of isolation given by pivotal role between the Hapsburg Empire and the Republic of Venice, along with the difficult roads in the valley, made a must choice of subsistence farming and livestock or alternatively emigration .
The villages in the valley were then subjected to the Empire of Austria-Hungary, whose ancient border was marked by the river Droanello, if still there is a plaque bearing witness to that fact. The beginning of the Great War in 1915 and the clash between Italy and Austria lead to the annexation of Trentino and Alto Adige in Italian territory and autonomy of the towns of the valley until 1928, when they went to form the "City of Turano" in 1931 became "City of Valvestino".
The territory depended on Trent until 1934, when it was annexed to the province of Brescia.
Great progress in terms of traffic characterized the 70s of the twentieth century, making possible even suggestive routes for tourists, in the car, by bike or motorbike, in these mountains and along the way between Lake Garda and Lake Idro. The unspoilt natural heritage and landscape is precisely the result of historical events and the geographical location that have preserved intact these lands of Valvestino.

"Loading iSCSI transport class v2.0-724"
this line does not appear and the loading proceeds correctly.
I wonder what is responsible for this line and how can I prevent it!
It has 2 different kernels that you can try booting there.
In case the installation works, can I update to the Standard version?
There is no "Upgrade to Standard" option, but you can use gslapt to download any package in the repository, including XFCE.
I downloaded it once (BTW there was no md5sum check available) and got probably incomplete data.
I burned the iso file, all folders and files where extracted but it didn't work.
sry you are having troubles dowloading.
Installation OK...some little tests OK...After shutdown or choosing Win from LiLo menu and then restarting to Linux, the boot sequence hangs at the line: "Loading iSCSI transport class v2.0-724"
Leaving the system in that condition, I tried Absolute Linux CD, Puppy Linux CD and both boot. Trying to boot from VL-Light CD again hangs at the same line. I probably could access /var/log or other files via the Knoppix CD to give you some more info, if it is of any interest for you.

Blackened Herring: Virginia's Democratic Attorney General Admits He Once Wore Blackface To a College Party
Brittany M. Hughes , @RealBrittHughes
February. 6. 2019
Virginia Attorney General Mark Herring, who's currently second in line for Virginia governor, released a press release Wednesday admitting he once dressed in blackface at a party in college, echoing a similar incident that's embroiled current Virginia Governor Ralph Northam.
"In 1980, when I was a 19-year-old undergraduate in college, some friends suggested we attend a party dressed like rappers we listened to at the time, like Kurtis Blow, and perform a song," Herring said in a press release. "It sounds ridiculous even now writing it. But because of our ignorance and glib attitudes – and because we did not have an appreciation for the experiences and perspectives of others – we dressed up and put on wigs and brown makeup."
"This was a onetime occurrence and I accept full responsibility for my conduct.
That conduct clearly shows that, as a young man, I had a callous and inexcusable lack of awareness and insensitivity to the pain my behavior could inflict on others. It was really a minimization of both people of color, and a minimization of a horrific history I knew well even then."
Herring has also reportedly called an emergency meeting with black leaders, according to the Washington Post.
In the press release, Herring all but admitted he's disclosing his past indiscretions in an effort to get ahead of what's sure to be a vicious news cycle, saying that the "shame of that moment has haunted me for decades and though my disclosure of it now pains me immensely, what I am feeling in no way compares to the betrayal, the shock, and the deep pain that Virginians of color may be feeling."
"That I have contributed to the pain Virginians have felt this week is the greatest shame I have ever felt," Herring added.
The attorney general also hinted that his time as Virginia's No. 3 official may come to a close as a result of this admission.
"In the days ahead, honest conversations and discussions will make it clear whether I can or should continue to serve as attorney general, but no matter where we go from here, I will say that from the bottom of my heart, I am deeply, deeply sorry for the pain that I cause with this revelation."
The news comes less than a week after an old college photo of Northam surfaced showing the governor dressed in blackface and standing next to a guy dressed in a KKK costume at a college party back in the mid-'80s. Shortly afterward, Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax – the next in line for the governorship, should Northam resign – came under fire for allegations of sexual assault based on accusations from a woman in California.
