750 US Soldiers Deploy To Iraq
U.S. Troops Deployed To Baghdad
Sharon Stice
UNITED STATES—One hundred troops from the Special Marine Corp Response Team were deployed on Tuesday, December 31, to the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad after angry Iraqi Shiite militiamen along with their supporters broke into the compound, smashed windows, vandalized and set fire to the roof of the reception area.
U.S. military fired out warning shots and tear gas on Wednesday, January 1 in response to the New Year's Eve attack. The 2nd Battalion, 7th Infantry Regiment assigned to the Special Purpose Marine Air-Ground Task Force Crisis Response Central Command deployed from Kuwait to Baghdad following an announcement by U.S. Secretary of Defense Mark Esper.
U.S. Department Of Defense Secretary Mark Esper
On December 31, Esper made the following statement on his web page.
"At the direction of the Commander in Chief Donald J. Trump, I have authorized the deployment of an infantry battalion from the Immediate Response (IRF) of the 82nd Airborne Division to the U.S. Central Command area of operation in response to recent events in Iraq. Approximately 750 soldiers will deploy to the region immediately and additional forces from the IRF are prepared to deploy over the next several days. The deployment is an appropriate and precautionary action taken in response of increased threat levels against U.S. personnel and facilities, such as we witnessed in Bagdad today. The United States will protect our people and interests anywhere they are found around the world," said Esper in a statement on December 31.
"Iran killed an American contractor, wounding many. We strongly responded, and always will. Now Iran is orchestrating an attack on the U.S. Embassy in Iraq. They will be held fully responsible. In addition, we expect Iraq to use its forces to protect the Embassy, and so notified," said President Donald Trump.
YouTube footage notes popular mobilization forces, an umbrella group of state allied militia issued a statement by a spokesperson calling on its supporters to withdraw from the compound in response to a message from the Iraqi government saying, "Your message has been received." Some Iraqi protestors could be seen taking down their tents, and others stayed. The spokesperson indicated an Iraqi presence would remain until the U.S. Ambassador was evicted, the embassy is closed and all Americans leave Iraq.
According to U.S. defense officials, the attack followed the funerals of 25 Iranian backed fighters who were killed during U.S. airstrikes Sunday in Iraq by Syria in retribution for the death of an American defense contractor on Friday, December 27.

\section{Introduction}

In a recent paper in this journal, E. O. Silva \cite{Silva} have studied the relativistic quantum dynamics of a spinless bosonic massive charged particle interacting with both the Aharonov-Bohm and Coulomb-type potentials in the background of a G\"{o}del-type space-time. The author has obtained the final form of the radial wave equation of the Klein-Gordon equation in the Som-Raychaudhuri space-time with these potentials, and evaluated the energy eigenvalues and corresponding normalized eigenfunctions. We show that the derive equations Eq. (4) and Eq. (6) in Ref. \cite{Silva} are incorrect, and two additional terms are missing in Eq. (6). Therefore, the further analysis of the drived equation as well as the energy eigenvalues in Ref. \cite{Silva} are incorrect. In this paper, taking into account all the physical parameters considered in Ref. \cite{Silva}, we derive the final form of Klein-Gordon equation in the Som-Raychaudhuri space-time with the above mentioned potentials as follow.

The Som-Raychaudhuri space-time is described by the following line element (with $c=\hbar=1$):
\begin{equation}
ds^2=-(dt +\Omega\,r^2\,d\phi)^2+r^2\,d\phi^2+dr^2+dz^2,
\label{1}
\end{equation}
where $\Omega$ characterizes the vorticity parameter of the space-time.

The relativistic quantum dynamics of spinless free-particle of mass $M$ is described by the Klein-Gordon equation:
\begin{equation}
\frac{1}{\sqrt{-g}}\,\partial_{\mu} [\sqrt{-g}\,g^{\mu\nu}\,\partial_{\nu}]\,\Psi=M^2\,\Psi,
\label{2}
\end{equation}
with $g$ is the determinant of metric tensor with $g^{\mu\nu}$ its inverse, and $\partial_{\mu}$ is the ordinary derivative.

For the space-time (\ref{1}), the KG-equation (\ref{2}) becomes \cite{JC,ZW}
\begin{equation}
[-\partial_{t}^2+\frac{1}{r}\,\partial_{r}\,(r\,\partial_{r})+(\frac{1}{r}\,\partial_{\phi}-\Omega\,r\,\partial_{t})^2+\partial_{z}^2-M^2]\,\Psi (t,r,\phi,z)=0.
\label{3}
\end{equation}

In Ref. \cite{Silva}, author introduced an electromagnetic interactions \cite{WG,NB,TYW,ERFM} into the Klein-Gordon equation (\ref{2}) through the so called minimal substitution
\begin{equation}
\partial_{\mu}\rightarrow D_{\mu}\equiv \partial_{\mu}+i\,e\,A_{\mu},
\label{4}
\end{equation}
where $e$ is the charge, and $A_{\mu}$ is the four-vector potential of electromagnetic field with
\begin{equation}
A_{\mu}=(A_0,-\vec{A})\quad,\quad \vec{A}=(0,A_{\phi},0).
\label{5}
\end{equation}
Here one can write the $0$-component of four-vector potential $e\,A_{0}=V$. In Ref. \cite{Silva}, author considered the electromagnetic four-vector potential given in the form (\ref{5}) assuming $(+,-,-,-)$ or $-2$ signature of the space-time geometry \cite{WG}. Worthwhile it is known in classical general relativity that the Som-Raychaudhuri space-time in the form (\ref{1}) and the Minkowski metric $ds^2_{Min}=-dt^2+r^2\,d\phi^2+dr^2+dz^2$ is of Lorentzian with $(-,+,+,+)$ or $+2$ signature. Therefore, the correct form of electromagnetic four-vector potential is $A_{\mu}=(-A_0,\vec{A})$ with its contravariant form $A^{\mu}=(A^0,\vec{A})$.

With this, that is, $\partial_{t}\rightarrow D_{t}$ and $\partial_{\phi}\rightarrow D_{\phi}$ using (\ref{4})-(\ref{5}), the KG-equation (\ref{3}) becomes
\begin{eqnarray}
&&[-(\partial_{t}+i\,e\,A_{0})^2+\frac{1}{r}\,\partial_{r}\,(r\,\partial_{r})+\{\frac{1}{r}\,(\partial_{\phi}-i\,e\,A_{\phi})-\Omega\,r\,(\partial_{t}+i\,e\,A_{0})\}^2\nonumber\\
&&+\partial_{z}^2-M^2]\,\Psi (t,r,\phi,z)=0.
\label{6}
\end{eqnarray}
The Aharonov-Bohm potential considered in Ref. \cite{Silva} (please see the paragraph in between Eqs. (3) and (4) in Ref. \cite{Silva}) is given by
\begin{equation}
e\,A_{\phi}=-\frac{\Phi}{r}\quad,\quad \Phi=\frac{\Phi_B}{(2\,\pi/e)},
\label{7}
\end{equation}
where $\Phi_B$ is the Aharonov-Bohm magnetic flux. The above form of potential (\ref{7}) in literature  known as the Aharonov-Bohm-Coulomb (ABC) potential.

Therefore, the Eq. (\ref{6}) using (\ref{7}) can now be expressed as
\begin{eqnarray}
&&[-(\partial_{t}+i\,V)^2+\frac{1}{r}\,\partial_{r}\,(r\,\partial_{r})+\{\frac{1}{r}\,(\partial_{\phi}+i\,\frac{\Phi}{r})-\Omega\,r\,(\partial_{t}+i\,V)\}^2\nonumber\\
&&-M^2+\partial_{z}^2]\,\Psi (t,r,\phi,z)=0.
\label{8}
\end{eqnarray}
Note that the above Eq. (\ref{8}) is different from the derived one Eq. (4) in Ref. \cite{Silva}.

The solution to Eq. (\ref{8}) is as follow:
\begin{equation}
\Psi (t, r, \phi, z)=e^{i\,(-E\,t+l\,\phi)\pm k\,z}\,R (r),
\label{9}
\end{equation}
where $E$ is the energy of charged particle, $l=0,\pm 1, \pm 2,..$ are the eigenvalues of the $z$-component of the angular momentum operator, $k$ is a positive real number and the $\pm$ sign is chosen to coincide with the negative/positive $z$-axis to produce the decay factor $e^{-k\,|z|}$.

Substituting the solution (\ref{9}) into the Eq. (\ref{8}), we obtain
\begin{eqnarray}
&&R'' (r)+\frac{1}{r}\,R' (r)+[(E-V)^2-M^2+k^2-\frac{1}{r^2}\,\{(l+\frac{\Phi}{r})+\Omega\,r^2\,(E-V)\}^2]\,R (r)=0\nonumber\\\Rightarrow
&&R'' (r) +\frac{1}{r}\,R' (r)+[(E-V)^2-M^2+k^2-\frac{(l+\frac{\Phi}{r})^2}{r^2}-\Omega^2\,r^2\,(E-V)^2\nonumber\\
&&-2\,\Omega\,(E-V)\,(l+\frac{\Phi}{r})]\,R (r)=0.
\label{10}
\end{eqnarray}
Substituting the Coulomb-type potential $V=\frac{\xi}{r}$ considered in Ref. \cite{Silva} where, $\xi=\pm\,e^2$ (please see the paragraph in between Eqs. (3) and (4) in Ref. \cite{Silva}) into the Eq. (\ref{10}), we obtain
\begin{equation}
[\frac{d^2}{dr^2}+\frac{1}{r}\,\frac{d}{dr}+\lambda-\frac{j^2}{r^2}-\frac{a}{r}+b\,r-\omega^2\,r^2-\frac{c}{r^3}-\frac{d}{r^4}]\,R (r)=0,
\label{11}
\end{equation}
where
\begin{eqnarray}
&&\lambda=E^2-\Omega^2\,\xi^2-M^2+k^2-2\,\Omega\,E\,l,\nonumber\\
&&j=\sqrt{l^2-\xi^2-2\,\Omega\,\xi\,\Phi},\nonumber\\
&&a=2\,E\,\xi+2\,\Omega\,(E\,\Phi-\xi\,l),\nonumber\\
&&b=2\,\Omega^2\,E\,\xi,\nonumber\\
&&\omega=\Omega\,E,\nonumber\\
&&c=2\,\Phi\,l,\nonumber\\
&&d=\Phi^2.
\label{12}
\end{eqnarray}
The above Eq. (\ref{11}) is completely different from Eq. (6) derived in Ref. \cite{Silva}. This fact jeopardize Eq. (6) derived in Ref. \cite{Silva} and therefore, the further analysis with this equation as well as the energy eigenvalues presented there are incorrect.

{\bf Conclusions:} Taking into account all the physical parameter considered in Ref. \cite{Silva}, we have derived the final form of the Klein-Gordon equation with the potential $e\,A_{\phi}=-\frac{\Phi}{r}$ (which is known as the Aharonov-Bohm-Coulomb potential) and Coulomb-type vector potential $V(r)=\frac{\xi}{r}$ in the background of Som-Raychaudhuri space-time. In this derived equation Eq.(\ref{11}), we have seen that there are two additional terms containing $\frac{1}{r^3}$ and $\frac{1}{r^4}$ which are missing in Eq. (6) derived in Ref. \cite{Silva}. The presence of the terms $\frac{1}{r^3}$ and $\frac{1}{r^4}$ makes the Eq. (\ref{11}) highly singular nature. To ease the solution, one may try to remove the $\frac{1}{r^3}$ singularity by selecting S-wave states ($l=0$). However, to remove both singularities $\frac{1}{r^3}$ and $\frac{1}{r^4}$ one has to choose $\Phi=0$, which changes the physics of the whole problem.

For $\Phi\rightarrow 0$, the Eq. (\ref{11}) redcues to
\begin{equation}
[\frac{d^2}{dr^2}+\frac{1}{r}\,\frac{d}{dr}+\lambda-\frac{j^2_{0}}{r^2}-\frac{a_0}{r}+b\,r-\omega^2\,r^2]\,R (r)=0,
\label{13}
\end{equation}
where
\begin{eqnarray}
&&\lambda=E^2-\Omega^2\,\xi^2-M^2+k^2-2\,\Omega\,E\,l,\nonumber\\
&&j_0=\sqrt{l^2-\xi^2},\nonumber\\
&&a_0=2\,\xi\,(E-\Omega\,l),\nonumber\\
&&b=2\,\Omega^2\,E\,\xi,\nonumber\\
&&\omega=\Omega\,E.
\label{14}
\end{eqnarray}
Equation (\ref{13}) is the radial wave-equation of Klein-Gordon charged particle in the Som-raychaudhuri space-time subject to only Coulomb-type vector potential. Thus, the Eq. (\ref{11}) derived here jeopardize Eq. (6) derived in Ref. \cite{Silva}, and the further analysis as well as the results obtained there are incorrect.

The new true serves hefty portions of hearty American dishes. Southern fried chicken and waffles, Louisiana shrimp and grits, steaks, burgers, Georgia peach barbeque baby rack ribs, Kentucky bourbon-marinated pork chops and Grandma's meatloaf poppers are typical orders of the day. Water is served in Mason jars and there are five televisions scattered around the comfortably rustic brick and wood dining room and bar.
All of this big, blunt food and no nonsense surroundings might sound like an unrefined tavern, yet the 120-seat True—outfitted in bare tables and floors, hanging lanterns and a central skylight—is anything but a rough and ready pub. Unexpected touches not initially obvious mark it as a much more meticulous, sophisticated restaurant than it seems at first glance. The weighted, high-quality silverware is a step above the usual. That fried chicken and waffle dish contains an unusual garnish: deep-fried parsley. The waitstaff seems to be composed of upbeat, seasoned pros—speaking of seasoning, none of the dishes required any. That might be because chef Jason Deleo earned his stripes at some of the Island's most superior restaurants: MP Taverna, The Brass Rail, Circa and Havana. Now as the kitchen commander at True he's churning out informal, unpretentious food that often resonates with flavor.
From the "Let's Begin" section of the menu target the roasted pear and gorgonzola salad featuring two warm, tender pear halves accompanied by a supporting cast of greens, candied pecans, endive, Fuji apples and a touch of gorgonzola with cider vinaigrette ($12). On the "Moving Along" section two bell ringers are the three Kentucky bourbon pork belly sliders ($12) that are crunchy from their cabbage slaw mantle and six Grandma's meatloaf poppers on a bed of mashed potatoes infused with country barbeque gravy ($14). The Louisiana shrimp and grits ($16) drew mixed reactions at our table with half the diners feeling their Creole tomato cream sauce was too sweet while the other half thought it was just right.
Think pork at entrée time. Of the four main courses sampled the two pork dishes ranked first and second. Those Georgia peach barbeque baby back ribs ($24) were homey, straightforward, fall-from-the-bone treats and the Kentucky bourbon-marinated pork chop ($32) was moist, tender and deeply flavored. The chicken and waffles with maple cayenne drizzle ($24) sported crisp, greaseless breading but far too much of it. Yet, the sumptuous roast Long Island duck ($30) was boosted by its imaginative sides: kale, faro, toasted walnuts and foie gras.
Most of the desserts were anticlimactic. There was a small slice of standard New Yorkstyle cheesecake ($8), dryish chocolate molten cake ($10) and too-sweet pecan pie ($8). The exception was warm, ripe apple crumb pie with vanilla ice cream and whipped cream ($11).

Brent Seabrook signs 8-year, $55 million extension with Blackhawks
Chicago inks defenseman through 2023-24 season.

Share All sharing options for: Brent Seabrook signs 8-year, $55 million extension with Blackhawks
Brent Seabrook will be in a Chicago Blackhawks uniform through the 2023-24 season.
The defenseman agreed to a eight-year extension, the team announced Saturday. The total value of the deal is $55 million, according to ESPN's Pierre LeBrun, which means the annual cap hit comes out to $6.875 million.
Seabrook, 30, is entering the final year of a five-year, $29 million contract, which carries a $5.8 million salary cap hit. The new deal will go into effect starting in 2016-17 and run through 2023-24.
The star defenseman won his third Stanley Cup with the Hawks last season, recording eight goals in 82 regular-season games before adding seven goals and four assists in 23 postseason games. He was selected 14th overall in the first round of the 2003 NHL Entry Draft by the Hawks.
Seabrook was named the team's second alternate captain, Hawks head coach Joel Quenneville announced during the team's news conference at the University of Notre Dame. That was a clear sign of the team's intention to keep him long-term, and now he's received the maximum term allowable under the CBA.
Seabrook takes over the alternate captain role from Patrick Sharp, who was traded to the Dallas Stars this offseason. Duncan Keith was named an alternate captain along with Sharp in 2008.

Welcome back to our series on content strategy.
In part one, we learned what a component content strategy is. In part two we discussed the risks and benefits for creating a strategy. Now, I will share the best practices on implementing your component content strategy with Author-it.
In order to capture the authentic thought leadership behind these practices, I spoke to our very own expert, Tom Erber, Director, Content Strategy at Author-it. Tom's expertise began when he managed a team using Author-it at HP. He designed a content strategy that resulted in over 80% reuse! Now, he is sharing that knowledge by designing and implementing component content strategies for some of the largest companies around the world. The following paragraphs summarize my discussions with Tom.
What is Author-it's secret ingredient?
As we know from past blogs and our white paper on Why Components components are core to Author-it. These chunks of information are critical because they liberate writers from the symbolic chains of documents.
However, the challenge with changing from a document-based paradigm to that of components is in how you manage, hundreds, thousands or even millions of components that make up your documentation. The secret is the relational database that manages all of the relationships between components, allowing writers to quickly find and reuse existing content.
In one case study, an organization was challenged to produce a 100-document project with 50,000 words and translated into 7 different languages. The chart below shows that by utilizing a relational component strategy, the company was able to reduce the costly authoring processes by 81%.
Additionally, compared to traditional authoring processes, relational content strategies can provide organizations with an 80% improvement in content quality and consistency with a 28% improvement in time to market execution.
Maintaining the integrity of information is important. Whether the content is restricted for legal or regulatory purposes, or perfectly written, reviewed and translated, you probably don't want people to tamper with the content after it has been released. If you are using an unprotected folder structure that allows a variety of people to access it, you could be jeopardizing your work.
Author-it's folder structure enables user & group security through Folder Action Permissions. Folder Action Permissions determine which actions a user can take with the components in a particular folder. For example, all users may be able to create content in a particular folder, but only certain users can edit, and only the creator can delete a component. Security can also be ensured with the workflow functionality in Author-it called "release states". For example, in the "Draft" release state, you can set it up so that all users can edit, but once in the "Released" state, the information is locked. Ultimately, this helps ensure the security and integrity of your information for compliance, consistency and future reuse.
Consider the process for most organizations of authoring, reviewing and publishing: the initial inputs are from many authors, the review team is usually made up of different subject matter experts (SMEs), and the published output has to accommodate a variety of audiences. With all the variations and new inputs throughout the content's lifecycle, even highly organized workflows can present opportunities for mistakes and bottlenecks.
However, working in Author-it allows workflows to be monitored and managed throughout the entire process. Authors are able to assign specific SME reviewers to specific components, thus controlling who is able to edit and review the content. Now, the product team is able to reuse a component that the SME helped collaborate on, ensuring accuracy and consistency. This process can reduce the SME's time by 50% and increase the quality and consistency by 100% because there is a single source for each component.
Remember, Author-it's secret ingredient is the relational database. This is the key to achieving 70-90% reuse.
Because components are managed in a relational database you are able to quickly find and reuse components when you are creating new documents. Simply insert the already written component into your document and move on to the next section. Even better, Author-it Xtend is a patented feature within Author-it that intelligently suggests similar or identical components as you are writing. So instead of searching the database for a component, the component comes to you. It's easy to see how this greatly saves time, maintains consistent messaging and ensures compliance.
At the conclusion of this three part blog series, you can look back and understand how important a content strategy is. With Author-it, a content strategy can be effectively established and managed throughout the entire company. From components, to your finished published outputs, it is a solution with the world's content problem in mind.

Our train accident solicitors specialise in accidents causing personal injury and we can help you to claim compensation following a train accident or a railway accident. Our lawyers are members of the Solicitors Regulation Authority panel of personal injury experts and have considerable experience in pursuing accident compensation. All of our train accident claims are dealt with using the risk free no win no fee scheme.
Accidents not involving trains including slips, trips and falls at stations usually account for more than half of all annual accidents on the railways in the absence of accidental catastrophic loss off life as a result of a serious train crash. Accidents to passengers while on-board trains contribute an average of about 10% of major injuries, including falls from doors and drop-light windows however, these accidents should reduce as the remaining slam-door carriages are replaced. Stations account for 40% of individual passenger and public accidental fatalities, and a third of suicides and suspected suicides. If you or a relative or friend have been inured on raliway property you should contact a train accident solicitor for advice as soon as possible.
One of the main causes for concern regarding serious train accidents involving collision with other trains is "signals passed at danger" which occurs when a driver either recklessly or negligently ignores a cautionary signal requiring him to stop as a result of perceived danger further along the track. There are several hundred of these incidents every year some of which have the potential for causing serious and potentially catastrophic fatal railway accidents. In most cases the trains stop within the safety overlap provided at the signal which is usually 200 yards, which provides protection against drivers misjudging braking. The most serious incidents are those when trains run past this safety overlap and there is a possibility of a collision with another train. These incidents are only one of the precursors to catastrophic train accidents however they have been the cause of a number of major incidents including at Southall in 1997 and Ladbroke Grove in 1999 when 32 people died.
Vandalism continues to be the primary cause of train accidents however there are numerous other causes of injury including level crossing incidents, accidents involving road vehicles and pedestrians, slips and falls at stations, failure of trains, track and infrastructure, obstructions, derailment, assaults and driver error. In recent years there have been two serious collisions involving motor vehicles on the track. The Selby incident involved a vehicle coming off the M62 motorway onto the track in front of an oncoming train causing 10 fatalities as a result of which the car driver received a substantial sentence of imprisonment and a rail accident on the London to Plymouth line when a train, travelling at 100mph immediately before impact, collided with a car on a level crossing causing six deaths and numerous serious injuries.
British Transport Police data shows a large increase in criminal offences including stone throwing and the placing of objects on the railway line that affects the safe passage of trains. It is rare for the perpetrators of this serious crime to be apprehended however personal injury caused by derailments or injuries from flying stones or glass can result in a claim for compensation being made to the Criminal Injury Compensation Authority.
If you have been involved in a railway accident or a train accident we can help you to receive compensation. Our train accident claims are dealt with using the no win no fee scheme otherwise known as a conditional fee agreement. No legal charge is payable unless the legal case is won and the client obtains an award of compensation. In the event that the legal claim is lost there is no charge made to the client. Our business is client centred and if you instruct one of our train accident solicitors to act on your behalf we guarantee that you will be kept fully updated on the progress of your compensation claim and your solicitor will always be available on the telephone. For advice on risk free railway accident claims just use the helpline or complete the contact form or email our offices and a member of the Solicitors Regulation Authority panel of personal injury experts will speak to you with no charge and with no further obligation.


This week, Aqua joins organizations across the globe observing Customer Service Week (CSW), a celebration of the people who serve and support customers on a daily basis. The designation is so important that 25 years ago, U.S. Congress proclaimed Customer Service Week a nationally recognized event to be celebrated annually during the first full week in October. I'm so pleased to be joining Aqua just as we're ready to honor the employees who serve millions of people across our eight states.
As a public utility providing a life-sustaining service, customer service is an integral part of Aqua's daily business operations. Customer service has been fundamental to the company's 130-plus year history, and to its growth over the past several decades. We value our customers, realize the integral part water plays in their daily lives, and recognize the importance of excellent customer service every single day. In fact, it's a part of our company's vision.
Aqua is lucky to have a bench of talented, dedicated employees who are working on the front lines and interacting with customers. They are the real "face" of our company, and we are looking forward to the opportunity to recognize and celebrate their hard work throughout the year during this special week.
The celebration spans far beyond those in our customer service department—we know that customer service is a company-wide effort. Any Aqua employee who comes in contact with our customers, from our technicians to our meter readers, plays an integral role in shaping the customer experience.

When I was in Second Grade.... and Award x6 and GIVEAWAY! - Hippo Hooray for Second Grade!
When I was in Second Grade.... and Award x6 and GIVEAWAY!
Kate at Second Grade Sparkle is having a super fun linky party, "When I was in _____ Grade."
One thing I do remember about second grade (besides the fact that I LOVED my teacher, Mrs. Schultz), was that on May 10th, we had this crazy snow storm and got like 8 inches of snow! I live in Wisconsin, so we usually have a snow day or two every year, but in May?!?!? On May 10th every year, I always tell this story to my second grade class, and they get such a kick out of it!
That's me in my snow fort!
OK, I really have to get crackin' on my school work. The trimester is over on Friday and I have a TON of assessments to grade so I can finish up my report cards... which go out a week from today! YIKES!!
OH MY GOSH! Angela! Pack your bags and move to MI so we can be best friends. Mexican is MY FAVE and you can cook it for me anytime you want! :) When my husband and I were first married and living far from home this really sweet family at our church " adopted" us and would have us over for family functions all the time. They were like 3rd generation Mexican and made THE best food. Sometimes I literally drool just thinking about it. :)Plus, I think you and I would have looked SO stylish together....you with your hot pink unitard ensemble and suspenders and me with my denim shirt that had lace patches on the shoulders and my stretchy pants with stirrups that I put OVER my shoes.Ah memories. LOL.


I have been enjoying the cooler weather lately. After wishing Autumn was here, it finally feels that it is near.
The mornings require a jacket, the evenings require a jumper and the shops have started to stock Christmas cards! This feels me with warmth.
The thought of Autumn has got me thinking of wool coats, raincoats and brown ankle lace up boots. I cannot wait for pay day... though I'm sure I should keep those pennies for wedding funds, hair trims and adventures.
At the weekend, I put on my giant chunky knit jumper, jeans and sandals to enjoy the warm sunshine and chilly breeze. It was such a nice feeling. I have always said that I like to have the option to wear a jumper... and it was one of those days.
I always thought that Winter was my favourite season- because of Christmas, but I think Autumn must be.
After my walk into town with Sebastian, we went home for lunch and he made me a Croque Monsieur. And it was DELICIOUS! I love a Croque Monsieur- I think if I was living in France I would have one every day weekend for lunch! It was SO good.
Ooooh, you just made me hungry!
I can't wait to start throwing on jumpers again - I adore summer, but I adore my jumpers much, much more!
Mmm, homemade croque monsieur! I'm a big fan of Autumn too - wish we could have had our last few weeks of summer, but the slight chill in the air and the onset of falling leaves has me secretly pleased.


If you invested in one of the professional pool companies in Ottawa to winterize your pool, damaged equipment shouldn't be a problem. However, it's always good to check for any ruptures in your pump and plumbing and inspect your heater, skimmer, and filter for cracks and breaks.
One common form of damage requiring inground pool repair following the winter is a ripped or torn vinyl liner. This occurs due to the solid and heavy 'icebergs', which begin to appear and break off as the weather thaws. The problem with these icebergs is their sharp edges, which can fall against and tear the liner. If your pool is tiled, it's also a good idea to inspect for cracked or dislodged tiles. While inspecting for interior damage, pool companies in Ottawa will often pay close attention to the areas directly surrounding fittings, as well as steps and corners, where the liner is more likely to be stretched.
Much like a basement, the walls and structure of the pool must resist pressure from the ground. In the winter, water freezes and expands, which can increase the weight and pressure of soil. This adds stress to the structure of the pool, and in some cases can cause the walls to collapse. Collapses often mean serious damage, and immediate inground pool repair is imperative.
Although pools are meant to be watertight, damaging ice and snow during the winter can compromise their impermeable nature. There are many potential areas where leaks can occur, including fittings, accessories, plumbing, liners and even the shell. Inground pool repair upon first detection of a leak can help keep the structural components of the pool intact and prevent further damage.
Don't squash your summer dreams by not inspecting your inground pool for signs of winter damage. Catching even a small problem early on can make a huge difference for your pool, your home and your wallet! Having one of the best pool companies in Ottawa inspect your pool will ensure that the only thing that impedes your pool-lounging schedule is the weather.

Programs used in creating the structure pages
A list of programs used to create the crystal structures shown here:
When we have trouble determining the space group of a structure, we use Harold Stokes' program FINDSYM, which has an online interface. Also available is ISOTROPY, a software package which applies group theoretical methods to the analysis of crystal symmetry.
The pictures of the atomic structure were produced from XYZ format files by XMol (version 1.3.1, Minnesota Supercomputer Center, Inc., Minneapolis MN, 1993). The xyz files used by Xmol can also be read by RasMol, a freeware molecule viewer from the University of Massachusetts. RasMol runs on PCs and Macs as well as X11/Unix platforms, and can produce shaded molecules. Either Xmol and RasMol can be configured as a viewer to run with your favorite web browser.
The fancy versions of the equations were generated by LaTeX (Leslie Lamport, LaTeX - A Document Preparation System, Addison-Wesley, 1994, ISBN 0-201-52983-1).
Xmol figures and images of LaTeX files were originally converted to GIF format by XV (Copyright 1989, 1994 by John Bradley). Now, however, we use display, an image viewer/manipulator in the ImageMagick(TM) package, and to capture and save pictures in the Portable Network Graphics (PNG) format.
Lately, we have been experimenting with the use of jmol, a Java-based GPL viewer which duplicates many (but not all) of the features of Xmol. Pictures are saved in Portable Pixmap (PPM) format, and then transformed to PNG format with John Cristy's convert program, also found in the ImageMagick(TM) package. jmol requires a Java runtime environment. We use Blackdown Java-Linux.
Since jmol has yet to implement Xmol's ``split-view,'' we use a LaTeX template, convert that to Portable Document Format (PDF), and use convert to change that to a PNG graphic.

Aggressors will be identified
Siberian scientist designs a system, capable of monitoring the psychophysical state of a person. The official presentation of the system took place on May 21 at Irkutsk State University.
According to system designer, postgraduate student of Bratsk State University, Mr Alexander Ren, the program uses special devices to analyze electromagnetic signals coming from the brain. It uses unique templates, which allow distinguishing between the calm and aggressive states. In case of aggression, the system is capable of defining its reason, which could be related to a loss of aggressor's mobile phone or his/her readiness to commit a crime.
There are two ways to use the system: the first, according to its inventor, is to introduce it as an addition to standard CCTV system with the goal of analyzing the sound and video footage, thus, trying to identify the absence/presence of an aggressive person on a specified territory; the second way, which is more complicated, is to install the system with detectors of brain electromagnetic signals, capable of identifying the person's feelings at a given moment of time.
The scientist believes that similar systems can be used for both civil and military purposes. They can be useful for airport and train station security services. Nevertheless, the new development has to be installed and tested under less demanding circumstances first.
The developer plans to launch the first system of this kind together with the local security companies, and later on to install it in public places with the aim of informing the nearest patrol and inspection service stations when suspicious or aggressive people are detected. The new system can serve as an additional obstacle for offenders and help the police to stop the criminals.
Mr Evgeniy Ananiev, brand manager of the company Trading House "Videoglaz" believes that the system of psychophysical state monitoring is an extremely interesting and perspective project: "We often see how similar solutions are used in science fiction films, where similar systems help the police or similar security services. But how it is going to work in practice is a difficult question. I hope that in any case we are going to see some positive results.
There are many nuances to this system. The state of a human being can change immediately; it depends on many external factors. There are some people, who can be in total control of their emotions. I think that the developers of this system will encounter a number of difficulties in practice. They will be faced with a lot of work, which can help to improve the system. In any case, the future belongs to this system. The most important thing is that the key actions should be performed by a human being, rather than a "machine".

John Kiely praise for 'honest and hard-working' newcomers to Limerick hurling panel
THERE were four Limerick senior hurling debuts during Friday night's round one game in the Co-Op Superstores Munster Hurling League.
John Kiely's side found another gear in the final quarter to earn a 2-22 to 1-17 win over Tipperary in the LIT Gaelic Grounds - read match report here
There was one debut in the starting team - Darren O'Connell (Kildimo-Pallaskenry).
Brian Ryan (South Liberties), Brian O'Grady (Kilteely-Dromkeen) and Mark Quinlan (Garryspillane) were all introduced for their first taste of senior action during the second half.
Other new faces among the substitutes were Jerome Boylan (Na Piarsaigh) and Patrickswell duo Jason Gillane and Josh Considine.
"There were a lot of lads getting their chance today - we have plenty lads in on the panel for the pre-season and we have got to see how they pan out over the next number of weeks and months. They are getting their opportunity to get their chance and all told the effort they put in over the last number of weeks and what they have done tonight showed that there is something there for us to work with," said John Kiely of his newcomers.
"Everyone of those lads played well for their clubs this season and that is a prerequisite - you have to be playing well for your club and working hard for your club. They have been rewarded with an opportunity to grow and develop within this group and try and put their case forward for inclusion by contributing enthusiasm, energy and effort to what we are doing," said the manager.
"They are honest and hard-working and they know they have work and development to do because they are very young, some of them, but if you don't start you will never get there - they are starting out in their careers and more luck to them. We will give them all the support and assistance we can," said Kiely.
Limerick's next game is on Sunday January 5 against Brian Lohan's Clare in Sixmilebridge, with a win or draw securing a Co-Op Superstores Munster Hurling League final spot for John Kiely's side.

1 Review/Comment on "Wroot Reiki"
I recently visited Martin for a Reiki Treatment, and I must say that the whole experience was very relaxing. I have received Reiki before but nothing so strong as the treatment I received from Martin. I'm a Level 1 Reiki Practitioner myself and I went to Martin to see if he was the correct tutor to take me on to my Master Level Reiki, and without doubt he is.

Amongst the tributes paid to the late James Alexander Gordon, who died earlier this year, was that from Radio 5 Live's John Murray:
He was always so friendly and charming, and interested in what you did. The funny thing is, he didn't follow a team – he was no great football fan. The one time we went to a match together was in 2007. It was the 80th anniversary of the first football commentary, when a grid was printed in the Radio Times for listeners to follow. To mark the occasion we did a grid commentary together on 5 Live Sports Extra – James was so thrilled to be chosen to read out the numbers of the squares where the ball was. It's a lovely memory I have of him. He loved being a part of what we did, a part of history of BBC Sport – and he played a very significant part in that history.
The 80th anniversary match was in recognition of the first radio commentary on Saturday 22 January 1927 – with Arsenal playing at home to Sheffield United. Commentary on that match came from Teddy Wakelam, but to help listeners follow the play a second, unnamed voice, called out the number of the square in which the ball was currently in play. The numbered grid, the idea of BBC producer Lance Sieveking, was printed in that week's Radio Times (above). No recordings exist of that match but here's Wakelam commentating in the 1930s:
The 2007 game again saw Arsenal at home, this time to Manchester United. Introducing proceedings on Sunday 21 January on BBC Radio Five Live was Eleanor Oldroyd. 'Normal' commentary on Five Live was by Alan Green whilst the 'grid' commentary on Five Live Sports Extra came from John Murray (above) with James Alexander Gordon calling the numbers and summaries from Bob Wilson and, oddly, singer David Gray. Here's part of that afternoon's coverage:
Those numbered squares are often cited as the origin of the phrase "back to square one", but this is by no means certain. After all for one team passing the ball into square one would be moving play forward and not back.
For the record that 1927 game ended as a one all draw. The 2007 result was Arsenal 2, Manchester United 1. And by a fluky coincidence Arsenal play Manchester United this coming weekend. You'd almost think I planned all this!

Continental Congressmen - South Carolina
Henry Middleton (1717 – June 13, 1784) was a plantation owner and public official from South Carolina. A member of the colonial legislature, during the American Revolution he attended the Continental Congress and served as that body's presiding officer for a few days in 1774. He left Congress before it declared independence. Back in South Carolina, he served as president of the provincial congress and senator in the newly created state government. After his capture by the British in 1780, he accepted defeat and returned to the status of a British subject until the end of the war.
==Early life and family==
Henry Middleton was born in 1717 near Charleston, Province of South Carolina, to Arthur Middleton (1681–1737) and Susan Amory (1690-1722), on the family plantation, "The Oaks". Henry's father Arthur Middleton was a wealthy planter who had served as an acting governor of South Carolina. Henry was educated in England before returning to South Carolina to inherit his father's plantation. He became one of the largest landowners in the colony, owning {convert|50000|acre|km2} and about 800 slaves.
Middleton married Mary Williams in 1741, with whom he would have five sons and seven daughters. After Mary's death in 1761, Middleton would go on to marry twice more, second to Maria Henrietta Bull (in 1762) and third to Lady Mary McKenzie (in 1776).
==Public offices==
Middleton served in a variety of public offices in South Carolina. He was a justice of the peace and a member of the Commons House of Assembly, where he was elected speaker in 1747, 1754, and 1755. He was a member of provincial council, but resigned in 1770 in opposition to British policy.
In 1774, at the outset of the American Revolution, Middleton was selected as a delegate to the Continental Congress. He served as that body's president during the last few days of the First Continental Congress, following the departure of Peyton Randolph. Middleton opposed declaring independence from Great Britain, and resigned from the Second Continental Congress in February 1776 when more radical delegates began pushing for independence. He was succeeded in Congress by his son, Arthur Middleton (1742–1787), who was more radical than his father and became a signer of the Declaration of Independence.
After Middleton's return to South Carolina, he was elected president of the provincial congress and, beginning on November 16, 1775, served on the council of safety. In 1776, he and his son Arthur helped frame a temporary state constitution. In 1779, he became a state senator in the new government.
When Charleston was captured by the British in 1780, Middleton accepted defeat and status as a British subject. This reversal apparently did not damage his reputation in the long run, due to his previous support of the Revolution, and he did not suffer the fate of having his estates confiscated, as many Loyalists did after the war.
==Death and legacy==
Middleton died on June 13, 1784 in Charleston.
His grandson, also named Henry (1770–1846), had a long career in politics. He was Governor of South Carolina (1810–1812), U.S. Representative (1815–1819), and the minister to Russia (1820–1830). Some of Middleton's children married into prominent families. Daughter Henrietta married Governor Edward Rutledge, Sarah was the first wife of Charles Cotesworth Pinckney, and his daughter Susannah married John Parker.

The National Archives presents a series of daytime public programs in December. These programs are free and open to the public, and will be held in the William G. McGowan Theater of the National Archives Museum in Washington, DC. Attendees should use the Special Events entrance on Constitution Avenue at 7th Street, NW. The building is Metro accessible on the Yellow and Green lines, Archives/Navy Memorial/Penn Quarter station.
On February 17, 1864, in the waning years of the Civil War, the Confederate submarine H.L. Hunley pressed a black powder explosive against the side of the Union ship USS Housatonic and sank it, becoming the first submarine ever to be successful in combat. The submarine was raised in 2000, but conservation efforts only deepened the mystery of why she sank, as the remains of the crew were all found seated peacefully at their battle stations with no signs of trauma or attempts to escape. Dr. Rachel Lance, an expert in biomedical engineering from Duke University, will present an illustrated lecture on her research, and findings. The program will be streamed live on YouTube. Presented in partnership with the Washington Area Maritime Archivists Curators and Historians Group.
Author Molly Burton will discuss her book Finally, a Parade for You, a collection of mini-biographies of men and women who sacrificed their peaceful lives to serve their country during the Vietnam War. This talk will be streamed live on YouTube, and a book signing follows the program.
We present the first in a series of archival selections from the National Archives' motion picture holdings related to the war in Vietnam. Today's films will be Hidden War in Vietnam (1963; 30 mins.) and Why Vietnam? (1965; 31 minutes).
Professor Victor Brooks takes us back 50 years and explores how the year 1967 -- a year of dramatic change -- affected the lives of 200 million Americans in everything from support for the expanding war in Vietnam and the first Super Bowl to the beginning of the 1968 Presidential campaign and the "Summer of Love." This event will be streamed live on YouTube, and a book signing follows the program.


Does God Help You Buy a Car?
I am helping my daughter look for a car to replace her aging Chevy. She has a certain model she is looking for, under so many miles, and within her budget. She has saved up and is ready to pay cash. She does not have any color preference, but does want the car to be an all-wheel drive and have a car rack.
I found a car that fit her criteria. The morning we were going to look at it, I called the dealership and was told the car sold the day before. Okay. My daughter and I prayed for the Lord to help us find the car that would fit the criteria and be a reliably good vehicle.
Another car was found right in our community. It was higher than her budget, but we made an offer. Not accepted. After another paycheck, my daughter had enough to pay full price if that is what it came down to getting a purchase. We went back to the dealership with a higher offer in mind, but not full price. The car was sitting there with a SOLD sign on the windshield. It sold the day before for full price.
Today, we were going to a town further away look at another car. I felt that God was directing our path. My daughter was wrestling with the whole process and just wanted to stay home. She told the Lord that she would go look even though she just wanted to stay home and get some other projects accomplished. I sent a text to the salesman I had contacted the day before and told him we would come this afternoon. He called me to tell me, you guessed it, it sold yesterday.
Does God help people buy cars? Is He really involved in this process?
I think God is directing our steps even though it is hard to understand. I know for certain that we are not to be worried about it.
What do you think, would God help you buy a car?

Q: Filling generated dynamic data in a ListView in Flutter Here the idea is to fill in the items in a list and use that list to display on GUI.
So, in _MyAppState I have filled in dummy items in the list:
final items = List<Vehicle>.generate(
    100,
    (i) => i % 6 == 0
        ? (Vehicle(
              'qqq',

        : (Vehicle(
              'sss',
              ['333', '444'],))
  );

Then I have attempted to show this list in the Column of the same class.

Native plants add color, attract local pollinators to Framingham for years to come
Lillian Eden
MetroWest Daily News
FRAMINGHAM — Across the street from the commuter rail station, in a drab city parking lot, a small haven for native creatures will add a bit of color for years to come.
Raised garden beds filled with native perennials were recently installed by members of Downtown Framingham Inc. with the help of a local horticulturist and volunteers. Meadowsweet, bee balm and prunella vulgaris are just some of the perennials taking root.
"The idea is to have shorter plants, some medium height plants and then the tall ones, which sort of mimics a meadow," said Catharine Rooney, the horticulturist consultant. "Nature likes stuff messy."
She said she chose plants that would appeal to both generalist bees, which can forage on many different plants, and specialist bees, which have a unique relationship to only collect pollen and nectar from certain plants, meaning their populations can be affected if their plants are not available. Goldenrod, one of the perennials Rooney planted, is a favored plant for the half-black bumblebee, for example. In her experience, garden beds in urbanized areas like this will attract birds, butterflies and dragonflies.
"The theory is, without being too trite, if you build it they will come," she said.
In two to three years, the small plants will grow and spread across the bed, which will, essentially, choke out weeds and the plants will require less watering, Rooney said. Once established, perennials will come back year after year.
For those looking to do something similar in their own yards, Rooney suggested starting with small plants and working in manageable sections "because invasive plants thrive on disturbance."
"Our average lawns, our average plantings around our house, none of those plants are native. So it's a desert to birds, to insects, to any of our native creatures," Rooney said. "So what do they do? They go somewhere else, and those somewhere else's are dwindling."
According to the National Audubon Society, urbanization and urban sprawl have fractured functioning ecosystems, and landscaping with non-native plants and monocultures like grass can have negative impacts on local wildlife.
In addition, native species can attract and help native creatures like bees, butterflies and birds. Due to an as-of-yet unidentified avian illness, Mass Fish & Wildlife is asking the public to take down bird feeders, but planting native species that attract birds remains a safe alternative.

"There's different types of plants in there, and they all have different flowering schedules," said Anthony Lucivero, the executive director of DFI. "They'll be coming back at different times throughout the year."
The boxes are currently plain wood — which Lucivero milled himself — but they won't be plain for long.
"It's going to be a combination of local artists who are interested in coming down and painting on them or decorating them, but we also have some students from the high school," he said. "It's going to be a great way to get the community involved."
Lucivero said the benefits of the project, paid for through a grant, are two-fold: urban renewal and creating unique local destinations for people to visit when they come downtown.
"This dovetails nicely with that mission of making attractions for people to come see and be proud of," he said. "It was a really rewarding project to work on."

I read a lot. Most of my reading/writing is performed, orchestrated, conducted in the early morning hours when my mind is fresh, there are no interruptions, and I'm at the peak of creativity. To Ginnie's amazement and a little consternation, I arise around 2:00 a.m., without an alarm, pour water through the Bunn coffee maker, and read the daily Bible meditation. It is positive reinforcement of a faith I already possess.
High on caffeine, this is a spiritual time, a magical time. One morning, as I listened to Ginnie's father's grandfather clock chime Westminster Abbey and then strike four times for 4:00 a.m., I looked down at the book I was reading, and the title of the new chapter was "4:00 O'clock." I knew without a doubt that there was more going on than just a caffeine buzz and imagination. There was a presence that was directing my thoughts, words and reading. I raised my arms to the cathedral ceiling, closed my eyes, and felt the warmth of God's love pour over me.
I look up and see the sun shining on the articles of Ginnie's and my life, like a beacon into the past and the future. I see the bad times for what they were: periods of darkness that were necessary for growth. The worst times were not almost dying of alcoholism, or the loss of a love, or a divorce (although they were bad enough), but were the times when I was living alone in strange cities, not knowing anyone, or who I was, feeling lost. These were desperate times of survival, grasping for anything (alcohol) or anyone who came along.
My gaze focuses on our plants. We have a caladium plant that's also known as "Heart of Jesus." It did well for awhile, in the picture window with the other plants. But it started to wilt and die out. Thinking it might be root bound, I re-potted it, twice, and it is now in this huge, over-sized clay pot. Still, it drooped and withered. As a last resort (it's dying anyway), I took it out of direct sunlight and put it in the shade. Heart of Jesus is now thriving.
After exercising, I slog out in my farmer boots to do chores. Is this the real world or am I dreaming? I do not always know the difference between a thing and the shadow of a thing. Our two-and-a-half acre Empty Nest Farm is an reenactment of my youth. However, at age 13, I despised chores. At age 70, I love them. Why? Because they keep me grounded. Barney the barn cat, runs with me, full of sass and recriminations, getting in the way and causing me to stumble. Blossom, our Angus heifer, moos, awaiting her ration of feed and hay. She pokes her head through the gate for an ear scratch. I accommodate. The smell of manure is comforting. Blossom got out the other day and I didn't even know it. A neighbor driving by saw her and politely herded her back into the pen. The chickens come pouring out of the hen house for their morning bread crumbs and corn, cackling, excited for the adventures of the new day. I gather the eggs—beautiful, farm fresh, brown eggs, still warm.
This is the real world, and I'm thankful for it. Happy Thanksgiving.

US contemplating withdrawing its troops from Kosovo if tax on Serbian goods is not revoked
During their visit to Kosovo, US national security officials have warned that the US might withdraw its military presence if Pristina keeps resisting their appeal on the suspension of tax on goods from Serbia and Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Currently, the US has 650 troops stationed in Kosovo, mainly in the US military base of Bondsteel, the biggest US military base in Europe.
During the meetings they had in Kosovo, the US Principal Director for European Affairs at the National Security Council, John Erath and Director for European Affairs at National Security Council, William Berkley, have warned about the withdrawal of US troops if Pristina refuses to revoke the tax.
"They threatened that the US might withdraw its troops from Kosovo as they did in Syria," a source who attended the meetings said. The two envoys of the US President, Donald Trump, held meetings on Wednesday and Thursday with the top officials from Kosovo.
The US national security officials met on Wednesday with Prime Minister Ramush Haradinaj and president Hashim Thaci. Haradinaj was seen leaving the meeting earlier and in a Facebook post he said that the tax will not be suspended. The President issued a press release confirming that the US senior officials had asked the suspension of tax and urged on Kosovo government to revoke the decision which was introduced in November last year.
Thaci met the US national security officials also on Thursday morning and in a press release after the meeting, he said that all members of the Negotiation Team in dialogue with Serbia have agreed "to listen to the US advice and suspend the tax." But co-head of Negotiation Team and head of opposition party of Social Democrats, PSD, Shpend Ahmeti, refuted Thaci's claims saying that he disagrees with the suspension of tax.
"The state delegation made no comments on suspension of tax. Furthermore, I have not made any comment during today or other meetings. We just explained to the US officials on why the tax was imposed," Ahmeti said.
The other co-head of the state delegation and head of the junior coalition partner, Fatmir Limaj, has softened his stance on the tax after meeting the US officials, who until now supported Haradinaj in keeping the tax despite the US and EU advice to do the opposite. Limaj said that the US advice on the resumption of dialogue with Serbia should be taken seriously.
The US delegation warned that, in the event that the current course does not change, Pristina risks serious consequences in regard to its relations with the United States.

TERESITA, TANIZAKI AND THE WESTERN NEO-ROMANTICISM*
Elvia Rosa Castro, 3 years ago 0 6 min read 1320
In Spring 2014, MASS MoCA opened its doors to a solo show of Teresita Fernández' As Above, So Below, a major exhibition that included three enormous installations and "drawings." There, in an abandoned New England factory converted into an outstanding and inviting art museum, Teresita Fernández's show was on view through the Spring of 2015, surrounded by the heavyweights of contemporary art.
Readers may recall, in particular, the installation Black Sun, because its scale and beauty prompted extensive coverage in art journals and social media forums. But this exhibition was decidedly much more: each work brought its own unique notion to a very contemporary concept of the landscape that, paradoxically, came from a profound respect for the traditional and ancestral—a sophisticated landscape arising from organic elements.
Following my tour of MASS MoCA, I began to read The Temple of the Golden Pavilion by Yukio Mishima. I was trying to find something that would offer me certain keys to this sacred material, given that gold occupies a central place in Teresita's work. Her meticulousness and precision are such that—given the prospect of encountering a natural, organic substance removed from any false connotation, and through years of study with Japanese families that practice alchemy—she succeeded in producing a golden material to use in her works.
In Mishima's novel, Mizoguchi, a tormented young man, torches the temple while coming to realize that its beauty, which had obsessed him, was illusory. I confess that I read the entire novel through the lens of Teresita's work—scrutinizing, taking notes, underlining. And even though I encountered certain connections and subtleties, they were not sufficient. I became frustrated in my determination.
After MASS MoCA, Madison Square Park in New York City was the scenario for another artistic intervention. The site-specific installation Fata Morgana, which opened in June 2015, demonstrated once again how Teresita Fernández dominates any space. In this public location, she wrapped passersby in a play of mirrored illusion, "as above so below," in which nature and industrial forms seemed to levitate and melt into a piece that altered the spectator's usual perceptions.
Once again the artist, now based in New York, demonstrated why the MacArthur Fellowship she received in 2005 was so well deserved. I dream of one day seeing Fata Morgana installed in the Parque de Chapultepec in Mexico City or in Havana's Prado.
At present, in the delirium of 2017 provoked by Trump's election, Fernández has returned to exhibit in the New York gallery Lehmann Maupin, in its Lower East Side space. Fire (America) is a solo show that springs from a previous exhibition, Small American Fires (Anthony Meier Fine Arts, 2016). Fire (America) is comprised of two installation pieces. Burned Landscape (America)features a series of small expressionist and abstract "drawings," made from stains or traces on burnt paper. These works evoke the quality of wood, and at the same time result in refined visual deconstructions of Japanese landscape compositions. The other work is an immense installation whose compositional center is Fire (America) 5, a large panel made up of tiny pieces of glazed ceramic, assembled with millimetric precision, representing a great blaze emerging from the darkness. From this, Charred Landscape (America), a thin horizontal line of graphite, goes forth (or returns) to encircle the central space of the gallery. In it, we perceive a devastated, charred terrain.
Thus charcoal is present in its crude mineral state—different from prior installations and paintings, in which this mineral is broken down into small uniform pieces more like the graphite we are familiar with or melted into her paintings to form areas of volume, with a greater emphasis on the brightness and beauty it contains.
In Fire (America), the landscape as a genre—which with Teresita seems to unfold into infinity—allows her to deliver an elliptical commentary on tension-filled themes taken from contemporary American reality (and beyond): the violence of catastrophic and apocalyptic marks in all their expressions and, basically, the violence environmental—like Mishima's character Mizoguchi, an unhinged madman setting fires and fanning the flames in the Golden Pavilion. (Perhaps my research should focus on fire, which is also golden, and not on gold.)
Teresita also warns of our increasingly distant relationship with Nature, rooted in a robust and indifferent ego that permits its indiscriminate and brutal exploitation, so unlike the first inhabitants of these lands. Those peoples, enveloped in a pantheistic cosmic vision of existence, not unlike the artist's own, would have a more rational and sustainable methodology of slash and burn.
The self-sufficient shadow, ornamental in itself (as in Tanizaki, In Praise of Shadows), is a key element in the work of Teresita. In this exhibition, it becomes even more severe and concise. Like Black Sun, Fire (America) is a more aggressive declaration of the end of an era, as much in its philosophic connotation as in its social. Fire, the cult element to which she had turned several years earlier, is the source of heat and life but also the image of extinction. It's the perfect metaphor to confirm how we consume ourselves in our own ritual.
The titles of Teresita's works are very important since they not only illustrate or advance a level of meaning but they also—as in good conceptualism—retain a coherent and tautological semantic relationship to the structure of the piece and the materials with which she works. She hence avoids the terminological loops and can be minimalistic plain, as one who applies the notion of Occam's razor (simpler explanations are generally better than more complex ones). Fire, in this case, is represented by elements that are born from it: ceramics and burnt paper. Fire (America) is a show that functions on various levels and allows collateral readings related to local history, past as well as the present.
The research and the degree of meticulousness with which she creates her works leave us with the certainty of being in the presence of a sophisticated artist who succeeds in merging dissimilar layers of reference, not only at the intellectual level but also at the level of manufacturing and assembly. She is nourished by rituals and ancestral cosmic visions, as well as literature and contemporary art, by the artisanal as well as the industrial, providing an essential experience.
On the other hand, especially in Charred Landscape (America), Fernández once again demonstrates the ability to efficiently dominate architectural scale and space, in miniature. Miniaturization, present in all her works, is not only a question of size or physical scale but an attitude that allows her to construct the epic and monumental from the small or barely perceivable thing.
All of her work is a mise en scène that reveals a glamourous delight in the ritual of material. It cannot be enjoyed without comprehending the tension that Fernández establishes between the monumentality of the landscape and the almost invisible details that form it—a tension in which the void acts as a mediator.
Her work, in extenso, is a duality of faith (intuition) and education, of a near-Zen pantheism and a Western neo-Romanticism. Here, the honesty, to which she has referred in various interviews, constitutes the ethical key that has enabled the entire organic cycle of her work.
*The original title of this short essay was This girl is on fire for both Spanish and English versions. The Spanish one was published already in this blog so I found some joy in bringing another one.

An easy way to improve the coverage of a wireless access point outdoors is to raise the antenna above nearby obstacles. This gives a much better line of sight. The downside to this is that the longer the cable run between the wireless device and the antenna the greater the signal loss. Buying increasingly expensive microwave transmission cable, with less signal loss per metre, can help but there is a cutoff point over a certain length (likely to be upwards of 20 metres) at which the useable signal is lost completely.
This page attempts to cover another solution, which though no less expensive is considerably more flexible.
The solution involves using power over ethernet, and a waterproof box to enable the wireless device to be mounted up high (up to 100 metres away). Power over Ethernet allows the network signal and the power to be transmitted along the same CAT5 ethernet cable. CAT5 cable is much cheaper than nice microwave transmission cable, and allows much longer cable runs without the radio signal losses.
The waterproof box sealed and ready for use.
The theory and practise behind this is very simple and may seem obvious to those used to working with the equipment, however, for the benefit of those who are struggling with line of sight / coverage, these details could be very useful.
and the containment within the waterproof box.
The IP68 polyamide gland (IP ratings list, IP ratings explained) required a 15mm hole in the waterproof box. This was drilled in what would be the bottom of the box. It should not matter where the connector is on the box because it is very well specified for waterproofing. The hole was drilled with a cone cutter, and the polyamide gland was fitted tightly.
The gland viewed from outside the box.
Next was added the long ethernet cable to carry the network signal and power from our network to the Airstation. Due to the small aperture in the Polyamide gland, it was nescessary to fit RJ45 connectors to the ethernet cable after passing the cable through it. This required the use of an RJ45 crimp tool, but I am sure that most computer shop / service centres would have one, and could do this bit, if you have no crimp tool. It is a good idea to ensure that this cable is adequately long because it will require re-making to make it longer or shorter.
Long ethernet cable made into the box.
The Airstation was placed in the box, along with the Power over Ethernet receiver.
The box end of the long ethernet cable was connected to the Power over Ethernet receiver POE socket, and the gland was tightened securely to ensure it was waterproof.
The Airstation and POE receiver in the box, with long ethernet cable connected.
A short ethernet cable was supplied with the Power over Ethernet equipment, and this was used to connect the Power over Ethernet receiver LAN connection to the Airstation's LAN port. The power output of the Power over Ethernet supply (3.3 Volts DC) was connected to the DC input on the Airstation.
The cables inside the box were laid in as neatly and carefully as possible, to ensure they did not get trapped.
The other end of the long ethernet cable was then connected to the POE socket on a Buffalo Power over Ethernet supply unit, and the Power over Ethernet supply unit was powered up. This was done before the lid was put on the box, to check everything was working fine.
The Power over Ethernet supply connected and powered up.
Once all the lights came on and the Airstation was happy, small pieces of foam were cut to hold the hardware firmly in position in the box. Once well packed the lid was screwed down tightly onto the box, ensuring that the seals were in place and no cables were trapped.
The foam in place ready for the lid.
The inside of the box lid, showing foam padding.
Next our network was connected to the LAN socket on the Power over Ethernet unit and the Airstation configured. It is beyond the scope of this document to explain the configuration - refer to the manual.
It would have been possible to remove the Airstation and Power over Ethernet receiver at this point, leaving only the long ethernet cable attached, put the lid back on the box and submerge it in a bowl of water overnight to confirm that the Polyamide gland had been fitted correctly, but this was not done, and our Airstation has not yet got wet.
As of yet no clever mounting has been devised which maintains the waterproof nature of the box, as it is not possible to drill into the box. So far we have used a luggage strap (like a small ratchet strap) to mount it onto a pole. Care was taken not to allow the metal fastener to obscure the signal from areas in which it was needed.
On reflection it would make more sense to put the gland on the side of the box, because then the box would sit on a flat surface (like a windowsill or the roof of a vehicle) more easily.
The box in use (in the rain) on the roof of our vehicle, sharing out the broadband connection from the satellite dish behind. This setup is at the Big Green Gathering 2003, and is solar / wind powered.
Thought needs to be applied to the polarisation of the antenna within the Airstation and hence the polarisation of the box when mounting. The Airstation is designed to stand upright, although the PCMCIA card within the Airstation is actually on its side, and the PCMCIA antennas do not have good coverage anyway.
There is room in the waterproof box to fit a Buffalo extended range antenna lying flat on top of the Airstation. This enables the forward gain of the box to be increased by around 4dB, and the antenna has a beamwidth of around 75 degrees. As more coverage is now available from the front of the box, the direction of the mounting becomes more important, and if the box is to mounted up high, then it may need a small amount of down-tilt, otherwise the signal may be lost over the heads of those needing the signal. This setup roughly doubles the range of the coverage in the forward direction.
The extended range (sector) antenna in place.
Everything you do, you do at your own risk.
Wireless device manufaturers say you should not do anything they say you should not do, of course.

Q: Exception in saving a lot of files with PHPhotoLibrary API My application has function to downloads many photo and video files in tmp folder and save them in camera roll with PHPhotoLibrary API.
The problem is that sometimes (the probability is around 10%) exception happens in the saving process.
The error message in console is,

Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInternalInconsistencyException', reason: 'This method can only be
  called from inside of -[PHPhotoLibrary performChanges:completionHandler:] or -[PHPhotoLibrary
  performChangesAndWait:error:]'

My code is like below:
- (void)saveVideoFileInCameraRoll:(NSString *)videoFilePath
{
    NSURL *videoFileUrl = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:videoFilePath];

    photoLibrarySaveImageCompletion completion = ^(BOOL success, NSError *error) {
        NSLog(@"success=%@, error=%@", (success ? @"YES" : @"NO"), error);
    };

    NSLog(@"videoFileUrl=%@", videoFileUrl);

    [self saveVideoFile:videoFileUrl completion:completion];
}

- (void)saveVideoFile:(NSURL *)fileURL completion:(photoLibrarySaveImageCompletion)completion
{
    NSLog(@"fileURL=%@", fileURL);

    [[PHPhotoLibrary sharedPhotoLibrary] performChanges:^{
        NSLog(@"fileURL=%@", fileURL);

        // Exception happens on this line as [SIGABRT]
        PHAssetChangeRequest *assetChangeRequest = [PHAssetChangeRequest creationRequestForAssetFromVideoAtFileURL:fileURL];

        if (_assetCollection) {
            PHAssetCollectionChangeRequest *assetCollectionChangeRequest =
                [PHAssetCollectionChangeRequest changeRequestForAssetCollection:self.assetCollection];
            [assetCollectionChangeRequest addAssets:@[ [assetChangeRequest placeholderForCreatedAsset] ]];
        }
        else {
            NSLog(@"### assetCollection is nil ###");
        }
    }

        completionHandler:^(BOOL success, NSError *_Nullable error) {
            NSLog(@"success=%@, error=%@", (success ? @"YES" : @"NO"), error);

            completion(success, error);
        }];
}

I checked similar case:
Save image to photo library using photo framework
The case crashes every time, but my code rarely crashes.
And unlike the case I'm calling
[PHAssetChangeRequest creationRequestForAssetFromVideoAtFileURL:]

in 'performChanges' block
Also I confirmed the fileURL of video file in tmp folder by NSLog and it's OK outside and inside of 'performChanges' block.

fileURL=file:///private/var/mobile/Containers/Data/Application/C87F0F75-E128-4E9F-AE07-6B914939AC5D/tmp/video3.mp4

I would appreciate it if you would let me know the reason or resolution of this issue.

ST. MARY'S, SUMMERSIDE
St. Mary's Then
The Church of St. Mary the Virgin, Summerside opened its doors for worship in 1861, then the second Anglican church in the area, and was built to serve the centre of the growing town of Summerside.
The original church was described as a, "wooden structure, neat in appearance and of the early English style of architecture," and was built on land donated by Joseph Green, a member of a prominent Summerside family, on the same land upon which the current church sits today.
In 1906 a devestating fire that began in a rail yard shed ripped
through central Summerside destroying 8 city blocks of the town. Besides the numerous houses and businesses lost to the fire it also destroyed the Baptist Church, the Christian Baptist Church, and St. Mary's Church, rectory, and a small building that functioned as the hall and Guild room. The fire destroyed St. Mary's Church and all of its records entirely. All that remained intact was the Baptismal Font, a beautiful stone font given by the Sunday School, the church bell, and one kneeling pad at the altar rail. The font and bell can still be seen at St. Mary's to this day.
Before 1909 the church had made the decision to employ George E. Baker, a local architect and carpenter, to rebuild St. Mary's Church. The choice had been between William Critchlow Harris, a prominent architect from Charlottetown (and relative of a future Rector of St. Mary's), and Baker.
The new church was completed in 1909 and was built in the Gothic style and made of imported brick with facings of island red sansdstone, and boasted a galvanized roof. It was erected on almost the exact same spot as the first St. Mary's, on the corner of Summer and Church streets.
The Parish Hall, which now sits across the lawn on the north side of the church, was a later addition to the property. The Great Fire of 1906 had destroyed a small wooden structure built in 1891 that functioned as a parish room or hall, and Guild room. After rebuilding the church in 1909 it was determined that the Parish could not afford to build a hall right away.
Ground was broken in September of 1927 for the construction of a new hall. The Parish once again employed the services of George E. Baker to design the hall, and hired local contractor H.M. Downing to build it. The hall, which remains a valuable addition to the Summerside historic streetscape, was designed with Gothic influence much of which can still be seen in the faux-buttresses on the sides of the structure, the oculus windows at the top of either end, and the Gothic tracery in the transom above the front door.
Since 1927 the Hall has been an important fixture in the communal life of the parish, as well as an often-used space for the wider Summerside community. The Hall presently contains the church offices, meeting rooms, and kitchen.
St. Mary's Now
St. Mary's Church is still situated on the corner of Summer & Church Streets and remains a beautiful addition to the downtown Summerside streetscape.
Many of our combined parish events are still held at the Hall (74 Summer St.) and St. Mary's often hosts combined parish services in the church.

Q: IIS Webserver failing to send a FIN/ACK I have a Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 box with IIS 7.5.7600.16385 installed.
I have HTTP Keep-Alives switched off. Each time a web-request is made the connection is terminated.
I get the following packet trace:

I can see a FIN,ACK going from the client to the server, but none transmitted in the opposite direction.
If I try this from other machines with a supposedly identical configuration the FIN, ACK is transmitted in both directions.
I can't work out what the difference is? Is there any way of configuring this behaviour?
