As explained on my Home page, I began this website to share the success I've had with a low carbohydrate lifestyle and removing sugar from my diet. The more I learn about LCHF eating, the more topics and issues surface that are linked to not only my personal journey, but to the current obesity epidemic we are facing here in Australia as well. I really feel that increasing our education, knowledge and understanding of nutrition, food science and the bigger picture is essential not just for ourselves, but for our children, our families and those we love.
Today we have three videos, which may take a little time for you to view, but they offer so much additional knowledge about the bigger picture behind the obesity epidemic we are currently facing in countries across the world. These videos are sourced from Australia, the UK and a speaker from the USA presenting in Australia. They all discuss common issues that countries with skyrocketing obesity epidemics are facing with changing government policy, changing our approach to nutrition and the reduction or removal of sugar in our diets. You will learn more about the struggle of those who are fighting to get more information out to the population around low carbohydrate high fat diets and its potential positive impact on the future health of our children, families and friends. I highly recommend that you take the time to listen to these articles. Please let me know what your thoughts are after viewing them.
I have just watched this article recently shown in April 2018 on 4 corners here in Australia and I am feeling really unsettled, sad, frustrated, disapointed and angry. This article is absolutely a must see no matter what country you live in as it covers a multitude of issues around the current obesity epidemic in Australia. 63% of Australian adults are overweight or obese and 27% of our children are above a healthy weight, the numbers are staggering. It is well worth the time to watch the full article. It looks at the politics behind the Australian governments approach to our obesity epidemic, how lobbying influences government decisions and provides details the recent rejection of the sugar tax here in Australia.
This second article is great. It talks about the UK's approach to their obesity epidemic and sugar consumption. There are lots of topics raised in this video that need to be considered. Again, leave your comments below.
3rd Video – Nina Teichloz speaks about Real Food Politics in the USA.
For those of you in the USA, this video is a from a recent conference held in 2017 in Australia by Low Carb Down Under. Nina Teichloz presents a fascinating look at the politics behind food policy in the USA and the video has content that applies to all countries when it comes to the support of Low Carbohydrate diets, it's positive impact on health and some of the challenges LCHF faces in being accepted by a wider public audience.
I truly hope that you have gained knowledge and insight by watching these. Enjoy!!!


Would you add keema to the Bengali chholar dal? I did and quite liked the result!
As you must have gathered by now, I am a big fan of chholar dal or the Bengali version of channa dal.
For me chholar has associations of being a special treat. When I fussed about my food as a kid, my didu (granny) made me luchi and chholar dal and I couldn't get enough of the dish.
Didu would make chholar dal and luchi for me whenever I visited her in Kolkata after I moved to Mumbai too. Those were special occasions for me.
In Mumbai I would start meals in Bengali restaurants with luchi and chholar dal, trying to recreate my granny's hugs and love even though we were at opposite ends of the country by now.
Sometimes, when staying in luxury hotels in Kolkata, I order luchi chholar dal for breakfast and had some lovely chholar dal at both the ITC Sonar and the Vedic Village last month when in Kolkata.
The restaurant chholar dals tend to be a bit sweeter than my granny's as they usually follow the Ghoti style of cooking which likes a bit of sweetness.
Our family is Bangal on the other hand and we prefer our food to be savoury and not sweet.
However, having travelled across the world and having settled across the country, my taste buds are more eclectic, and I don't mind a touch of sweet in my food.
The other day I was making some chholar dal at home after I received the packs of Mahindra Nu pro dals to cook with. I thought of experimenting a bit with it and added a bit of kheema (minced meat) to it. This is sometimes done with ghoogni, a dish made with split peas.
The pulses in chholar dal can sometimes get a bit mushy at the end so I wasn't sure if it would combine well with the meat or whether it would become a mush.
Well, I must say that I was impressed by how well the Mahindra Nu Pro chholar dal held out. The granules of dal held its shape and was distinct from the minced meat even after cooking. Yet, when you bit into the dal grains, they gave in tenderly, wasn't uncooked at all. And I didn't have to add any soda for the dal to cook.
A mark of a good quality dal.
I don't make luchi though and find it too intimidating.
So I did what any Mumbaikar would do. I paired the mangsho diye chholar dal with pav.
I think the Portuguese, to whom we owe the existence of pav in Mumbai and who had influenced the bakery tradition in Kolkata too, would have approved!
Note: This post was done in association with Mahindra Nu Pro pulses. I've told you about my experience with the dal in the post.

The National Landlords Association is proud to be partnered with the UK Association of Letting Agents (UKALA).
Providing landlords with links to letting agents is essential as almost two thirds of landlords describe letting agents as either "important" or "very important" to the running of their business.
All UKALA members have Client Money Protection and have passed rigorous safeguards in order to qualify for membership. This includes confirmation of a segregated client money account, confirmation that their client money handling processes are in order, and proof of a minimum level of Professional Indemnity Insurance. Members are also required to abide by the UKALA Scheme Rules and Code of Practice, thus providing an assurance of quality of service and financial peace of mind to landlords and tenants.
Although the NLA and UKALA remain two separate organisations, they share the same values of fairness, transparency, professionalism and responsibility in business relationships between landlords, agents and tenants. Furthermore, both associations aim to improve standards in the private-rented sector by providing advice and guidance through the products and services they offer.
"This is an excellent opportunity to create a more unified voice for landlords, tenants and letting agents across the private-rented sector and this mutually beneficial business agreement will benefit both as we strive for higher standards of practice."
The NLA believes that UKALA members are well placed to meet the needs of landlords. Search here for a UKALA agent in your area.

McGregors to move to mall temporarily
McGregors Furniture will relocate to the soon-to-be vacant Younker's space at the Marshalltown Mall.
Boh Kurylo, executive vice president in charge of brokerage at the Lerner Company, the entity based in Omaha managing the mall, confirmed McGregors move in a statement made to the Times-Republican Friday afternoon.
"We are negotiating a lease with them (McGregors) on a temporary basis," he said. "We would love to keep them long-term, but that is up to them."
McGregors spokesperson Erin McGregor elaborated on Kurylo's statement Friday.
"We have signed a temporary lease to go into the Younker's space once they are done at the end of the month," she said. "We will be at the temporary location until our (downtown) building is ready."
That structure, like many Central Business District businesses, suffered extensive damage as a result of the July 19 EF3 tornado.
McGregor said it the temporary location "is a perfect alternative in the short term … our heart is downtown. We have been in the (111 W. Main Street) building since 1929. It means a lot to the family. However, we do not have an option at this point. We have a lot of work (on the building) to do … I would estimate a minimum of six months."
In addition to its furniture store, Marshalltown is also home to McGregors corporate headquarters.
The company also operates stores in Coralville, Mason City Ottumwa and Waterloo.
Currently, the Learner Company is in talks with around eight to nine Marshalltown retailers whose stores have been impacted by the July 19 tornado, who are seeking a new locale in which to set up shop.
Leases are available for month-to-month, six-month and one year-long durations. For more information, Kurylo may be reached at 402-502-4707.

\section{INTRODUCTION}

$^{229}$Th possesses an extremely low first excited isomeric state of only several eV~\cite{Kroger1976NuPhA,Beck2007PhRvL}, which opens the possibility to construct a high-precision nuclear optical clock~\cite{Peik2003EPL,Campbell2012PRL,Peik2021QS} and provides a strongly enhanced sensitivity for searching for new physics beyond the standard model~\cite{Safronova2018RMP,Flambaum2020PRA}. To achieve these attractive objects, accurate knowledge of the nuclear and electronic properties of $^{229}$Th, such as the nuclear moments, plays a fundamental role. The accurate nuclear moment values not only can help to grasp the hyperfine structures (HFS) of $^{229}$Th atoms and related ions, but also provide a benchmark tool to improve the nuclear model theory thereby helping to reliably predict the properties of its isomers such as the isomer transition rate and the nuclear moments~\cite{Minkov2019PRL}. The nuclear quadrupole moment of $^{229}$Th also can be used to assess the sensitivity of the isomeric transition to the possible variation of the fine-structure constant $\alpha$ and other fundamental constants~\cite{Flambaum2006PRL,Berengut2009PRL,Flambaum2020PRA}.

There have been some reported works on the magnetic dipole and electric quadrupole moment, $\mu$ and $Q$, of $^{229}$Th nucleus~\cite{Chasman1977RMP,Minkov2019PRL,Gerstenkorn1974JPF,Bemis_1988,Berengut2009PRL,Campbell2011prl,Safronova2013PRA2}. These results are summarized in Table~\ref{nuclear1}, and one can find obvious discrepancies between the predicted values from the nuclear theory~\cite{Minkov2019PRL,Chasman1977RMP} and the deduced values from atomic structure calculation combined with experimental measurements~\cite{Gerstenkorn1974JPF,Bemis_1988,Berengut2009PRL,Safronova2013PRA2}. For $\mu$, the previous nuclear theory predictions~\cite{Minkov2019PRL,Chasman1977RMP} are significantly above the experimentally deduced values~\cite{Gerstenkorn1974JPF,Safronova2013PRA2}, but for $Q$, the nuclear theoretical prediction~\cite{Minkov2019PRL} is lower than the experimentally deduced values~\cite{Gerstenkorn1974JPF,Bemis_1988,Berengut2009PRL,Safronova2013PRA2}. Among these results, the values extracted by Safronova \textit{et al.}~\cite{Safronova2013PRA2} using all-order calculations based on $^{229}$Th$^{3+}$ combined with precise hyperfine spectral measurement~\cite{Campbell2011prl} are considered the most reliable~\cite{2018MolPh}. In their calculations, all possible single and double excitations are iterated to all orders of perturbation theory, and a part of triple excitations are included perturbatively, thus it is termed as SDpT method. However, only the linear coupled-cluster terms of single- and double-excitations are included in the SDpT method, and we notice that the correlation effects represented by the nonlinear terms play a crucial role in the precise prediction for the HFS of Fr or Fr-like monovalent systems~\cite{Sahoo2015PRA,li2021}. Thus it is necessary and important to accurately assess the contribution of nonlinear terms in the HFS calculations of Fr-like $^{229}$Th$^{3+}$.

Theoretical investigation for the HFS of $^{229}$Th$^{3+}$ is also of much interest in some other aspects. It has been reported as the most promising system for the realization of a single-ion nuclear clock based on a virtual clock transition composed by a pair of stretched hyperfine states of both nuclear ground and isomeric manifolds~\cite{Campbell2012PRL}. Knowledge of the relevant hyperfine interaction matrix elements is helpful to extract the nuclear excitation energy~\cite{Beloy2014PRL}. Moreover, $^{229}$Th$^{3+}$ is also a possible system for atomic parity-nonconservation experiments~\cite{Roberts2013PRA}, and its magnetic dipole HFS constant would be a reliable probe for the estimate of theoretical accuracy of the related weak matrix elements. \\

In the present work, we calculate the HFS constants of the low-lying states of $^{229}$Th$^{3+}$ using the relativistic coupled-cluster method based on the Gaussian basis set. The correlation effects are investigated by the \textit{ab initio} methods at different levels including the Dirac-Fock approximation, low-order many-body perturbation theory, linearized and fully single- and double-excitation relativistic coupled-cluster method. The magnetic dipole and electric quadrupole moment, $\mu$ and $Q$, of $^{229}$Th nucleus are extracted by combining present recommended theoretical results with the available experimental values. The hyperfine interaction matrix elements required to extract the magnetic octupole moment are also presented. In section II, we provide a brief overview of the coupled-cluster method and the hyperfine structure theory. Numerical results and discussions are presented in section III. Finally, a summary is given in section IV.

\section{Theoretical method}
\subsection{A brief description of the relativistic coupled-cluster approach}
For Th$^{3+}$, being a monovalent atomic system, the exact wavefunction with a valence orbital $\upsilon$ can be formally expressed in the form
\begin{small}
\begin{equation}
  \label{eqcc1}
|\Psi_{\upsilon}\rangle= e^{S}|\Phi_{\upsilon}\rangle,
\end{equation}
\end{small}
where $|\Phi_{\upsilon}\rangle$ is the zeroth-order wavefunction obtained by the Dirac-Fock calculation, and the exponential cluster operator, $e^{S}$ = 1+$S$+$\frac{1}{2!}S^{2}$+$\dots$, represents the expansion of wave operators in the framework of the coupled-cluster theory. According to the number of particles, $n$, to be excited from the reference configuration, the cluster operator $S$ can be partitioned into
\begin{equation}
  S=S_{1}+S_{2}+\dots+S_{n}.
\end{equation}
In practice, the contributions from the triple and higher excitations are always expected to be relatively small and the computations are extremely time-consuming. Thus, only the singles ($S_{1}$) and doubles ($S_{2}$) excitations are considered in the present coupled-cluster calculation (CCSD), and Eq.(\ref{eqcc1}) can be written as
\begin{equation}
  \label{eqcc2}
  \begin{aligned}
  \left|\Psi_{v}\right\rangle_{\rm CCSD} = &\left\{1+S_{1}+S_{2}+\frac{1}{2!}\left(S_{1}^{2}+S_{2}^{2}+S_{1} S_{2}\right)\right.\\
  &\left.+\frac{1}{3!}\left(S_{1}^{3}+3 S_{1}^{2} S_{2}\right)+\frac{1}{24} S_{1}^{4}\right\}\left|\Phi_{v}\right\rangle.
  \end{aligned}
  \end{equation}
\\

Eq.(\ref{eqcc2}) is a nearly complete expression of the wavefunction within the single and double excitation approximation (SD), where the first three terms are linear terms and provide the majority of the contribution. A more convenient and simplified treatment is to retain only the linear terms, which are referred to as the linearized coupled-cluster (LCCSD) wavefunction,
  \begin{equation}
    \label{eqcc3}
    |\Psi_{\upsilon}\rangle_{\rm LCCSD}=(1+S_{1}+S_{2})|\Phi_{\upsilon}\rangle.
  \end{equation}
However, for some strongly correlated systems, the contribution from nonlinear terms may be important and need to be evaluated carefully, especially in the high precision calculations of some special properties.

The transition matrix elements of an operator $\hat{O}$ from state  $\left|\Psi_{w}\right\rangle$ to $\left|\Psi_{v}\right\rangle$ can be evaluated according to
\begin{equation}
  \label{eqcc4}
\begin{aligned}
\bar{O} &=\frac{\left\langle\Psi_{w}|\hat{O}| \Psi_{v}\right\rangle}{\left\langle\Psi_{w} \mid \Psi_{v}\right\rangle} \\
&=\frac{\left\langle\Phi_{w}\left|e^{S \dagger} \hat{O} e^{S}\right| \Phi_{v}\right\rangle}{\left\langle\Phi_{w}\left|e^{S \dagger} e^{S}\right| \Phi_{v}\right\rangle},
\end{aligned}
\end{equation}
where ${e^{S \dagger}}$ stands for the complex conjugate of $e^{S}$. Expanding the wavefunction $\Psi$ using Eq.(\ref{eqcc2}) or Eq.(\ref{eqcc3}), one would obtain the transition matrix element within the CCSD or LCCSD approximation, respectively. The specific calculation steps are described in detail in the previous work~\cite{li2021JPhB,li2021}. \\

\subsection{The hyperfine structure theory}
The hyperfine interaction Hamiltonian for a relativistic electron can be expressed as~\cite{Schwartz1955PR}
\begin{small}\begin{equation}
H_{\mathrm{HFI}}=\sum_{k}T_{k}^{e}\cdot T_{k}^{n},
\end{equation}\end{small}
where $T_{k}^{e}$ and $T_{k}^{n}$ are the spherical tensor operators with rank $k$ ($k>0$) in the electronic and nuclear coordinates, respectively.
 A matrix element of the HFI between the basis of the hyperfine states $|\alpha I,\gamma J; F M_{F}\rangle$, which coupled a nuclear eigenstate $|\alpha I,M_{I}\rangle$ and an atomic eigenstate $|\gamma J,M_{J}\rangle$ is

\begin{small}
  \begin{equation}\begin{aligned}
   &\left\langle \alpha^{\prime} I^{\prime},\gamma^{\prime} J^{\prime}; F^{\prime} M_{F}^{\prime}\left|H_{\mathrm{HFI}}\right| \alpha I,\gamma J; F M_{F}\right\rangle =\delta_{F^{\prime} F} \delta_{M_{F}^{\prime} M_{F}} \\
  &\times (-1)^{I+J+F} \sum_{k}\left\{\begin{array}{lll}
    F & J & I \\
    k & I & J^{\prime}
    \end{array}\right\}\left\langle\gamma^{\prime} J^{\prime}\left\|T_{k}^{e}\right\| \gamma J\right\rangle\left\langle \alpha^{\prime} I^{\prime}\left\|T_{k}^{n}\right\|\alpha I\right\rangle,
  \end{aligned}\end{equation}
\end{small}
where $F$ is the total angular momentum with $\textbf{F}$=$\textbf{I}$+$\textbf{J}$, $I$ is the nuclear spin, $J$ is the total electronic angular momentum, $\alpha$ and $\gamma$ encapsulate the remaining nuclear and electronic quantum numbers, respectively. Then the first-order correction $E_{F, J}^{(1)}$ of hyperfine interaction to the energy is defined as
\begin{small}
  \begin{equation}
    \label{e1}
    \begin{aligned}
    E_{F}^{(1)}=(-1)^{I+J+F}\sum_{k}\left\{\begin{array}{lll}
    F & J & I \\
    k & I & J
    \end{array}\right\}\left\langle\gamma J\left\|T_{k}^{e}\right\| \gamma J\right\rangle\left\langle \alpha I\left\|T_{k}^{n}\right\| \alpha I\right\rangle,
    \end{aligned}
    \end{equation}
  \end{small}

Restricted to $k\leq3$, $E_{F}^{(1)}$ can be parameterized in terms of the HFS constants $A$, $B$, and $C$. These HFS constants are expressed as follows, respectively

\begin{small}
\begin{equation}\begin{aligned}
A =\mu_{N}\frac{\mu_{I}}{I}\frac{\langle {\gamma J|}\big |{ T_{1}^{e}}\big |{|\gamma J}\rangle}{\sqrt{J(J+1)(2J+1)}},
\end{aligned}\end{equation}
\end{small}
\begin{small}
\begin{equation}\begin{aligned}
B =2Q \left [\frac{2J(2J-1)}{(2J+1)(2J+2)(2J+3)}\right ]^{1/2}{\langle {\gamma J|}\big |{ T_{2}^{e}}\big |{|\gamma J}\rangle},
\end{aligned}\end{equation}
\end{small}
and
\begin{small}
\begin{equation}\begin{aligned}
C =\Omega_{I} \left [\frac{J(2J-1)(J-1)}{(J+1)(J+2)(2J+1)(2J+3)}\right ]^{1/2}{\langle {\gamma J|}\big |{ T_{3}^{e}}\big |{|\gamma J}\rangle},
\end{aligned}\end{equation}
\end{small}
where $A$, $B$, and $C$ are magnetic dipole (M1), electric quadrupole (E2), and magnetic octupole (M3) hyperfine structure constants respectively. $\mu_{N}$ is the nuclear Bohr magneton, and the diagonal nuclear reduced matrix elements $\left\langle \alpha I\left\|T_{k}^{n}\right\|\alpha I\right\rangle$ in Eq.(\ref{e1}) are contained in the nuclear moments, $\mu_{I}$ ($k$=1), $Q$($k$=2), $\Omega_{I}$ ($k$=3), respectively.

The contributions from second-order hyperfine interactions are generally on the same order as the magnetic octupole contribution, thus we also take into account these terms here. In addition, due to the first excited nuclear state of $^{229}$Th has an anomalously small excitation energy, there should also be a small but observable contribution in second order correction that corresponds to the hyperfine mixing between the electronic states of the ground nuclear states and the electronic states of isomer nuclear states~\cite{Beloy2014PRL}.
Then the second-order correction $E_{F}^{(2)}$ of hyperfine interaction to the energy in $^{229}$Th is defined as
\begin{small}
  \begin{equation}
    \begin{aligned}
    E_{F}^{(2)}&= \sum{\prime} \frac{1}{E_{\alpha I,\gamma J}-E_{\alpha^{\prime} I^{\prime},\gamma^{\prime} J^{\prime}}} \sum_{k_{1}, k_{2}}\left\{\begin{array}{lll}
    I & J & F \\
    J^{\prime} & I & k_{1}
    \end{array}\right\}\left\{\begin{array}{lll}
    I & J & F \\
    J^{\prime} & I & k_{2}
    \end{array}\right\} \\
    & \times\left\langle \alpha I\left\|T_{k_{1}}^{n}\right\| \alpha^{\prime} I^{\prime}\right\rangle\left\langle \alpha^{\prime} I^{\prime}\left\|T_{k_{2}}^{n}\right\| \alpha I\right\rangle\left\langle\gamma J\left\|T_{k_{1}}^{e}\right\| \gamma^{\prime} J^{\prime}\right\rangle\left\langle\gamma^{\prime} J^{\prime}\left\|T_{k_{2}}^{e}\right\|\gamma J \right\rangle.
    \end{aligned}
    \end{equation}
  \end{small}
The summation involves all possible excited nuclear states and electronic states, and $E_{\alpha I,\gamma J}$ includes both nuclear and electronic energies. $\left\langle \alpha I\left\|T_{k}^{n}\right\| \alpha^{\prime} I^{\prime}\right\rangle$ and $\left\langle\gamma J\left\|T_{k}^{e}\right\| \gamma^{\prime} J^{\prime}\right\rangle$ correspond to the reduced matrix elements of nuclear part and electronic parts, respectively.  The off-diagonal reduced matrix elements of nuclear part can be found in Ref.~\cite{Beloy2014PRL}. In the present work, we focus on M1 and E2 off-diagonal reduced matrix elements from the fine-structure splitting (electronic part), because their contributions dominate owing to small energy denominators.

The single particle reduced matrix elements of the operators $T_{1}^{e}$, $T_{2}^{e}$, and $T_{3}^{e}$ are given by
\begin{small}
\begin{eqnarray}\label{eq:88}
\langle{\kappa_{i}}&\|T_{1}^{e}\|&\kappa_{j}\rangle=-\langle-\kappa_{i}\|C^{(1)}\|\kappa_{j}\rangle
(\kappa_{i}+\kappa_{j})\notag\\
&\times&\int_{0}^{\infty}{dr\frac{P_{i}(r)Q_{j}(r)+P_{j}(r)Q_{i}(r)}{r^2}\times{F(r)}},
\end{eqnarray}
\end{small}

In the present work, we employed a finite basis set composed of even-tempered Gaussian-type functions expressed as $G_{i}=\mathcal N_{i}r^{\ell+1}e^{-\alpha_{i}r^{2}}$, to expand the Dirac radial wavefunction $P$ and $Q$ as in Refs.~\cite{Chaudhuri1999pra,li2021JPhB,li2021}, where $\mathcal N_{i}$ is the normalization factor, and $\alpha_{i}=\alpha\beta^{i-1}$, where the two independent parameters $\alpha$ and $\beta$ are optimized separately for each orbital symmetries. Table~\ref{basis} lists the Gauss basis parameters. $N$ is the number of basis set for each symmetry. $N_{c}$ and $N_{v}$ represent the number of core and virtual orbitals, respectively.

In our calculations, the no-pair Dirac Hamiltonian is set as the starting point. Breit interaction and the lower-order quantum electrodynamics (QED) radiative potential proposed by Flambaum and Ginges~\cite{Flambaum2005pra} are considered at the same foot as coulomb interaction. The Fermi nuclear distribution was employed to describe the Coulomb potential between electrons and the nucleus. All the core orbitals and virtual orbitals with energies of smaller than 10000 a.u. are included in the correlation calculations.

We carried out a series of calculations for the energies of some important low-lying states of $^{229}$Th$^{3+}$ at different correlation levels including Dirac-Fock(DF), second-order many-body perturbation theory MBPT(2), LCCSD, and full CCSD calculations. We also classified the contributions from different terms, including the Zeroth-order DF Coulomb correction ${E^{(0)}}$, the Breit corrections, second-order MBPT correction $E^{(2)}$, linearized part of single ($S_{1}$) and double ($S_{2}$) excitations correction ${E^{(S_{1}+S_{2})}}$, the non-linear coupled-cluster terms corrections ${E^{\rm(NL)}}$, and the QED correction. All these results listed in Table~\ref{energy1} comparing with experimental values~\cite{NIST,actinide} labeled as ${ E_{\rm Expt.}}$. The ${E_{\rm MBPT(2)}}$=${E^{(0)}}$+Breit+${ E^{(2)}}$ , ${ E_{\rm LCCSD}}$=${E^{(0)}}$+ Breit+${E^{(S_{1}+S_{2})}}$ , ${E_{\rm CCSD}}$=${ E_{\rm LCCSD}}$+ ${E^{\rm (NL)}}$, ${ E_{\rm Final}}$=${E_{\rm CCSD}}$+${\rm QED}$, represent the results obtained within second-order MBPT, LCCSD, CCSD, and CCSD results with QED correction approximations, respectively.

From the Table~\ref{energy1}, the importance of inclusion of correlation effect can be found. Take the incorrect determination of the ground state in the DF calculation as an example: the spectral measurements confirm that the ground state of Th$^{3+}$ is $5f_{5/2}$ state, while the ground state generated from DF calculation is the $6d_{3/2}$ state. The MBPT(2) results obviously overestimated the correlation effect and predicted much lower energies for all the states tabulated. The contribution from QED correction is about $0.1\%$ for $5f$ and $7s$ states, while it is negligible for other states. The CCSD results show a better agreement with experiments since the contribution from the nonlinear single- and double-excitation terms, which is about $0.3\%$ for $5f$ and $0.2\%$ for other states, has been included. Finally, for the two $5f$ states, the differences between ${\rm E_{Final}}$ and the experimental values are about $0.5\%$. The main reason for this discrepancy is the omission of the higher-order correlation effects, such as the triple- and higher excitation terms.

Table~\ref{energy2} presents a detailed comparison of our LCCSD, CCSD, and CCSD+QED transition energies with other $ab$ $initio$ results. It can be observed that in terms of transition energy, our CCSD results are consistent with the results obtained by relativistic intermediate Hamiltonian Fock-space coupled-cluster methods (FSCCSD)~\cite{ELIAV2012CP}, and both are much closer to the experimental value than the results obtained by the all-order calculations including partial extra third-order terms~\cite{Safronova2006PRA}. The contributions from different corrections are given in the all-order calculations~\cite{Safronova2006PRA}, allowing us to explore the origin of the difference with our results. It can be found that the DF Coulomb energies ${E^{(0)}}$ obtained from Ref.~\cite{Safronova2006PRA} and our calculations agree well with each other, while the absolute values of Breit correction to energies in Ref.~\cite{Safronova2006PRA} are significantly above our estimation. In addition, we also calculated the energy under the condition of $\ell_{max}=6$, and we found that our MBPT(2) and LCCSD results are completely consistent with their corresponding results. Comparing with the current calculation results of $\ell_{max}=7$, we observe that for the energies $5f$ states, the contributions of the partial wave $\ell=7$ are about $-$520 ${\rm cm^{-1}}$. This suggests that the contribution of higher-order fractional waves to energy is important, and the same conclusion also can be drawn in the work of Ref.~\cite{Safronova2006PRA}.

The $A/\mu$ for the first four states of $^{229}$Th$^{3+}$ are calculated at different correlation levels including DF, third-order many-body perturbation theory MBPT(3), LCCSD and CCSD. The magnetic dipole moment $\mu$ are then extracted by combining our theoretical results with the experimental HFS constants~\cite{Campbell2011prl}. The results are listed in Table~\ref{hfsa}, and compared with other available calculated values~\cite{Gerstenkorn1974JPF,Chasman1977RMP,Minkov2019PRL,Safronova2013PRA2}. Uncertainties are given in parentheses. \\

As seen from Table~\ref{hfsa}, the MBPT(3) calculations significantly overestimated the correlation effect compared with our CCSD results, which is consistent with the case of energies. For the $5f$ states, the LCCSD results are very close to the CCSD results, where the contribution of the nonlinear terms to $A/\mu$ is about $1\%$, while it is about $2.5\%$ for the $6d_{3/2}$ state. The main source of theoretical uncertainty is the electron correlation. States with smaller correlation effects tend to be more conducive to accurate calculation. The correlation effects ${\rm (CCSD-DF)/CCSD \times 100\%}$ and the non-linear effects ${\rm (CCSD-LCCSD)/CCSD \times 100\%}$ accounted to the $A/\mu$ of above states are no more than $25\%$ and $3\%$, respectively, with the only exception of $6d_{5/2}$ being $565\%$ and $-35\%$, respectively. Therefore, even if these calculations are carried out under the same theoretical framework, it is not guaranteed that the results of different states can achieve the same precision, because different states are different in sensitivity to various correlation effects. In this case, averaging the theoretical calculation results of several states can effectively reduce the uncertainty caused by different sensitivities of different states to the correlation effect. Here, we abandon the $6d_{5/2}$ state which is strongly dependent on the correlation effect, and take the average value of the other three states to obtain the final $\mu$ value, $i.e.$ 0.359(9), where the uncertainty in parentheses is entirely from the measurement.\\

Our CCSD value of $0.359(9)$ matches well with the all-order SDpT results $0.360(7)$, but is much lower than all other reported results~\cite{Minkov2019PRL,Chasman1977RMP,Gerstenkorn1974JPF}. For example, our results are about $50\%-80\%$ lower than the previous nuclear theory predictions, and about $30\%$ lower than the experimentally deduced values from Fourier spectroscopy in 1974~\cite{Gerstenkorn1974JPF}. It must be pointed out that the results obtained by combining spectroscopy measurements with atomic structure calculations are more reliable than the predictions directly using nuclear model theory. Furthermore, current laser spectroscopy measurement techniques and theoretical calculation method of atomic structure have improved lot over time, which is also one of the important reasons why we think the current results as well as Safronova \textit{et al.}'s results are more reliable than the 1974 results~\cite{Gerstenkorn1974JPF}. Remind that the all-order SDpT calculation corresponds to a full consideration of linear single- and double-excitation terms and further inclusion of some triple-excitations perturbatively, while our CCSD calculation includes all the linear and non-linear single- and double- excitation terms. Thus it is reasonable to extract the contribution of the triple-excitation terms from the comparison between SDpT results and our LCCSD results. The comparison of our CCSD result and SDpT result indicates that the contribution of the partial triple excitations and the non-linear term on $A/\mu$ to the first three states are really small. Another interesting feature we observed is that the $A/\mu$ of $6d_{5/2}$ state obtained by the SDpT method is $-36.7$, which is almost the same as our LCCSD value of $-35.4$. This is an independent validation for both the SDpT results and our LCCSD results, and this also suggests a strong dependence for the $A/\mu$ of $6d_{5/2}$ on the nonlinear single- and double-excitation terms.

\subsection{Electric quadrupole moments}
Similar with the case of magnetic dipole moment, we also determine the $^{229}$Th nuclear electric quadrupole moment $Q$ using measured $B$ (MHz) from Ref.~\cite{Campbell2011prl} and our calculated $B/Q$. The results are listed in Table~\ref{hfsb}, and compared with SDpT results~\cite{Safronova2013PRA2}. From Table~\ref{hfsb}, one can see that the correlation effects in the MBPT(3) calculation are significantly different from the LCCSD and full CCSD results. Except for the $6d_{3/2}$ state, the contributions from the third-order MBPT correction to the zeroth-order DF values are negative, while the corrections of linear terms (${\rm LCCSD-DF}$) and nonlinear coupled-cluster terms (${\rm CCSD-LCCSD}$) are positive for these four states, respectively. The total correlation effects of the $5f_{5/2,7/2}$ states are very strong, about 30\% of the total CCSD results, while the correlation effects of $6d_{3/2,5/2}$ states are relatively small. In addition, it can be found that the higher the angular momentum, the greater the total correlation effect. Furthermore, the contribution of non-linear terms accounts for approximately a quarter of the total correlation effect in $5f$ states, but less than a tenth in $6d$ states. Both the total correlation effects and the non-linear terms corrections are significantly larger than those in $A/\mu$ for each state, which is opposite of Ra$^{+}$~\cite{li2021}. Such strong and unusual correlation effects indicate that it is more difficult to accurately calculate the $B/Q$ of ground state of $^{229}$Th$^{3+}$. Here we take the average value of all four states as final $Q$ value, $i.e.$ 2.95(7), where the uncertainty in parentheses is also entirely from the measurement.

It is found that the $Q$ value from the SDpT calculation is significantly above the present final CCSD value. As we have stated, the contribution of the triple-excitation terms can be extracted from the comparison between the SDpT results and our LCCSD results, and the difference between LCCSD and CCSD results owes to the non-linear terms. Taking the present LCCSD result $3.05(3)$ as a reference, the SDpT result $3.11(6)$ and the CCSD result $2.95(7)$ are on both sides of it. It indicates that the contribution of partial triple-excitation terms is positive, about $2\%$, while the contribution of SD non-linear terms is negative, about $3\%$. This trend will lead to a cancellation. Therefore, in order to extract $Q$ accurately, it is important not only to evaluate the contribution of nonlinear terms accurately, but also to consider the contribution of triple-excitation terms completely. Furthermore, comprehensive observations show that the contribution of the nonlinear term to the $A/\mu$ is positive, while to the $B/Q$ it is negative. The relative ratio of the correlation represented by nonlinear terms ${\rm (CCSD-LCCSD)/(CCSD-DF)}$ in the $B/Q$ is much large than in the $A/\mu$, which is different from that of Fr and Ra$^{+}$.

\subsection{Magnetic octupole hyperfine interaction}
Recently, the rapid development of spectroscopy technology makes the extraction of some high-order nuclear moments possible. For example, the nuclear magnetic octupole moments $\Omega$ of $^{133}$Cs~\cite{Gerginov2003prl}, $^{137}$Ba$^{+}$~\cite{Lewty2013pra}, and $^{171}$Yb~\cite{Singh2013pra,Groote2021PRA} have been successfully determined. The $^{229}$Th$^{3+}$ is also a good candidate for the studies of nuclear structure beyond the first two electromagnetic moments, since its ground state $5f_{5/2}$ has a large angular momentum and thus a large coupling to $\Omega$. Safronova \textit{et al.} have suggested that this coupling effect may induce a hyperfine interval at a level of a few Hz~\cite{Safronova2013PRA2}. To extract $\Omega$, an accurate calculation of relevant octupole hyperfine interaction matrix elements, including diagonal and important non-diagonal matrix elements of low-lying states in $^{229}$Th$^{3+}$, is necessary. Once the accurate HFS constant $C$ is measured, these matrix elements can be used to determine the magnetic octupole moment immediately. In addition, the present octupole matrix elements are expected to possess a higher level of accuracy than those from the previous calculations using the third-order perturbation method mentioned in Refs.~\cite{Beloy2014PRL,Johnson1987PRA}. Then the excitation energy of the $^{229}$Th nucleus may be determined more accurately to a certain extent using the method reported by Beloy~\cite{Beloy2014PRL}.

Table~\ref{hfsc} listed the electronic octupole hyperfine interaction matrix elements from DF, LCCSD, CCSD calculations, including diagonal $C/\Omega$ in KHz/($\mu_{N}$$\times$b) and non-diagonal matrix elements in MHz of low-lying states. The uncertainty of these octupole parameters mainly comes from the unconsidered high-order correlation effects beyond CCSD, which are generally not greater than the contribution of the SD nonlinear terms ($i.e.$CCSD-LCCSD). Therefore, we take CCSD results as the recommended values listed in the ``Final'' column and the corresponding absolute value of the difference between CCSD and LCCSD results as the uncertainty enclosed in parentheses.
It can be observed from the Table~\ref{hfsc} that for $5f_{5/2,7/2}$ and $6d_{5/2}$ states, the correlation effects are significant compared with the relatively small matrix elements, which would lead to large uncertainties in the calculations. For the $6d_{3/2}$ state, the conclusion is opposite. It is worth noting that the contributions of the non-linear term on $C/\Omega$ to the $5f$ and $6d$ states are very large which are somewhat different from $A/\mu$. This may be owing to fact that the value of $C/\Omega$ is too small to be accurate enough. The larger HFS constant $C$ is, the more conducive to accurate calculation and measurement. Therefore, the results of $6d_{3/2}$ state are more suitable for roughly predicting the magnitude of HFS constant $C$. These matrix elements are of great significance to extract the $\Omega$ of $^{229}$Th nucleus.

\section{Conclusion}

In summary, we carried out a comprehensive study of the energies and HFS constants for several low-lying states in the $^{229}$Th$^{3+}$, using a relativistic CCSD method based on a large Gaussian basis set. To clarify the role of different correlation corrections, we also provide some intermediate results including the results from DF, MBPT, and LCCSD calculations. The Breit and QED corrections to the energies are also investigated. Our calculations indicate that more higher-order corrections not included in our calculations are important to further reduce the difference between the theoretical prediction and experimental measurement. The magnetic dipole moment $\mu$ and the electric quadrupole moment $Q$ of $^{229}$Th are obtained by combining our atomic calculation with the measured HFS $A$ and $B$ values. Our recommended $\mu$ value of 0.359(9) is in excellent agreement with the SDpT result of $0.360(7)$. The present electric quadrupole moment, $Q=2.95(7)$, is smaller than their recommended value, $Q=3.11(6)$, by about $5\%$, possibly owing to the fact that the electron correlations represented by the non-linear terms, omitted in SDpT calculations, contribute significantly to the electric quadrupole moment and reduce the values. Further analysis shows that the third-order many-body perturbation theory is not a very effective tool to generate sufficiently accurate nuclear moments $\mu$ and $Q$ of $^{229}$Th. It always strongly overestimates the magnitude and sometimes gives an incorrect sign of the correlation effect. Additionally, we also present the magnetic octupole HFS constants $C/\Omega$ and some important non-diagonal hyperfine transition matrix elements, which are required for further extracting the magnetic octupole moment $\Omega$ of $^{229}$Th nucleus. Our calculations also show that the $6d_{3/2}$ is a suitable state to carry out precise measurements of the hyperfine splittings from which $\Omega$ of $^{229}$Th can be inferred.

MOSOLOV, A.: Piano Works (Complete)
Alexander Vasilyevich Mosolov was one of the most prominent Soviet experimentalist composers of the 1920s. Famed for his futurist orchestral piece The Iron Foundry, this 'constructivist' began to forge new directions through his use of motor rhythms, percussive attacks, and melodic angularity. Imprisoned for eight months in 1937, he later sank into undeserved obscurity. In the four surviving Piano Sonatas, Mosolov shows himself to be one of the boldest and most complex Russian composers of his time.

We have recently started selling Google Cardboard Version 2 virtual reality glasses. If you are looking to buy virtual reality headsets or Google Cardboard in South Africa you can visit our online store for more information on Google Cardboard. You can also buy your Google Cardboard from the online shop.
The Google Inspired Google Cardboard is made from high quality components. The headset is basically made from cardboard, high optical lenses, Velcro and a rubber band to hold your smartphone in position. Google Cardboard Version 2 also features a metallic coated button. This button is a big improvement from the Google Cardboard Version 1 button that used a magnet to interact with the phones magnetic field resulting in a button click.
The new Google Cardboard button presses against the screen, and this causes a button click to be registered on the phone. This method works with all phones where the previous button system only worked with some phones. The Google Cardboard Glasses is the most affordable virtual reality headset currently in the world, when Google fist launched the Google Cardboard headset many people thought that it was a joke! – However the joke turned out to be one of the cheapest ways for people to experience virtual reality and Google themselves have already sold millions of Google Cardboard devices.
The Google Cardboard virtual reality glasses also makes a awesome corporate gift. Many companies have since the launch of Google Cardboard started giving away Google Cardboard devices for free to clients. These include companies like McDonald, Coca-Cola, Volvo, Lexus and many others. Thus Resulting in exceptional feedback and results from their VR marketing campaigns. Possible because VR is still in its infancy and all media houses are talking about VR, allowing for a lot of free PR whenever a company does something in Virtual Reality.
With technologies like VR it usually takes sometime for the tech to come to South Africa. We have been involved in Virtual Reality for many years and have kept up to date with stuff like the Google Cardboard, other virtual reality headsets and the technology in general. This is one of the reasons why we were one of the first companies in South Africa to start selling Virtual Reality Headsets and specifically the Google Cardboard Headsets.
If you want to buy a virtual reality headset in South Africa you can now buy it from our online store. We manufacture local Google inspired Cardboard VR glasses and also import Google Cardboard glasses.
Google Cardboard works with your smartphone. The Cardboard is a viewer, and your phone slides into the viewer. The optics in the Google Cardboard enlarges your smartphone screen, giving you the immersive experience of virtual reality. Smartphones have build in gyroscopes enabling head movement tracking and allowing you to ultimately view 360° video and virtual reality. The Google Cardboard is an awesome device, if you haven't experienced virtual reality yet, we highly recommend that you get yourself a Google Cardboard VR Headset!


Mimaki Engineering Co., Ltd. (Mimaki), Headquartered in Nagano Prefecture, Tomi City; President Kazuaki IKEDA announced today the Tiger-1800B MkII to be launched in July 2018, as the successor to the company's previous Belt-Type Inkjet High-Speed range Model, the Tiger-1800B released in September 2016.
The Tiger-1800B MkII is a high speed-range model in pursuit of the print speed and high quality, based on the enhanced stability and high accuracy of print technology.
1. Direct print model with 16 print heads (2 lines of 8 print heads in a staggered layout).
2. Transfer sublimation model with 8 print heads (2 lines of 4 print heads in a staggered layout).
With the achievement of a maximum print speed of 385 sqm/h *1 for both models, the Tiger-1800B MkII can cover a wide production range from sample making to small/medium volume printing. An additional new print mode by 1200 dpi is enhancing print quality and the MAPS *2 is an added function for a high quality as well as high-speed printing.
In general, the boundaries of multiple passes to be a line can cause of banding and color shifting when there is just a small gap while printing. MAPS will disperse the edge of each pass to make boundaries look like gradations, eliminating banding and color shifting. To maintain high productivity, another function, the NRS (=Nozzle Recovery System *3), allows printing to continue using good nozzles as substitutes, when clogged nozzles cannot be recovered.
The Tiger-1800B MkII offers outstanding design technology to enhance and maintain stable high-speed printing. Ideal production system can be arranged with enhanced feeding and winding units (for storage after printing) depending on the details of the work and the customers installation environment.
Printing by single pass may cause a subtle difference of dot diameter or a gap of droplet landing position as it is to be printed by one time for a specified printing area.
The caused gap will appear as stripe and band to be quality degradation.
However, the multi-pass means to print a determined printing area by multiple times with different nozzles, which allows to suppress the cause of stripe and band and create a beautiful print.
The Tiger-1800B MkII will apply the production from the high-speed print regarding much importance for productivity to the high-quality print of beautiful image.
*4: MAPS is not available for 1Pass print mode.
*5: NRS is to be applied later. Depending on a print mode, the NRS may not be available.
*7: It is the value when the standard unit (option) is attached to Feeding/Winding unit of each.
*8: It is the value when the jumbo roll unit (option) is attached to Feeding/Winding unit of each.
The Tiger-1800B MkII will be displayed at the Mimaki Stand (#: 1.2- D20-D30) of the FESPA Global Print Expo 2018.

Step Right Up: Dead Light
Interview with Dead Light.
"So there's a very 'cut and paste' aesthetic to the textural sounds which we hope make the record feel a lot more intimate, personal and real."
—Ed Hamilton
Words: Mark Carry
Dead Light is the moniker for the gifted duo of Anna Rose Carter and Ed Hamilton, whose sumptuous eponymous debut record (released on UK-based Village Green recordings) delves beautifully into electro-acoustic bliss and neo-classical splendour. The intricate piano melodies and compelling string arrangements are masterfully immersed in delicate textures and timbres; drifting majestically in the ether.
The duo's eponymous debut forges a deeply affecting experience for the heart and mind: the rich, dense textures of Hamilton's production is masterfully interwoven with Carter's stunningly beautiful piano-based compositions. A musical trajectory can be made back to Moon Ate The Dark – another of Carter's glorious collaborative projects – whose neoclassical-infused drone compositions share a similarly otherworldly quality and ethereal dimension. Dead Light's music draws upon classical, pop, ambient and electro-acoustic influences.
'Dead Light' feels like a new beginning or starting anew where luminous embers of hope burn brightly throughout the record's drifting melancholy.
'Dead Light' is out now on Village Green.

http://villagegreenrecording.co.uk/
Congratulations Anna and Ed on creating such a captivating and deeply moving debut album. These piano-based compositions inhabit a special space, spanning many intricately layered sounds, textures that in turn, elicit such poignancy and rich emotion. Please take me back to the inception of this wonderful collaborative project and the starting point, if you will? I love how one feels the time, care, detail and devotion that is so clearly inherent inside the music, so I presume this record spans some considerable time?
Ed Hamilton: It definitely spans considerable time – It took us about 2 years to make! Most of the first year was spent just playing around together, trying to establish a style and a collaborative voice that we felt represented us, and what we wanted to say…
Anna Rose Carter: We'd just moved out of London, and it took us a while to explore this newfound space, time and quietness and feel comfortable in it. There was a tension that came from moving away from the lives that we were comfortable in and it took us a while to harness this tension into something musically exciting… Once we started recording, a lot of ideas came out of the first sessions, but then we spent a lot of time refining and condensing these ideas into something more cohesive and focused. Space was very important to us but we also wanted to layer many textures into the compositions and it took us a while to get the balance right.
EH: I'm also a massive control freak when it comes to sound! Actually right from the start we were both very protective of the sound, so everything took us that little bit longer… We were dealing with quite an old, rickety, noisy piano, so there were a lot of challenges with the recording… Actually I think this was for the benefit of the sound on the record, because there's an intimacy there that there might not have been had the piano been really clean, because we might have ended up micing it in a different way and not going off on a 'texture tangent'! But yes, it did take us a long time to get the sound just right!
As a duo, the listener feels that deep dialogue between the piano and cello instrumentation, and indeed the multitude of effects and preparations that is so masterfully embedded within the compositions. I would love to gain an insight into both the various piano preparations and the many analogue artefacts and sonic wizardry that lies at the heart of this remarkable debut album?
EH: With the piano preparations… the piano we have is a beautiful, old upright that Anna's grandfather gave her, which has a very nice, warm, round tone to it, but because of its age, it's very noisy. Initially we fought against that noise a lot, and tried to find ways of recording that didn't include that noise, but actually when we succeeded in doing that, we felt that the compositions were weaker for not having the textural elements the piano creates within them.
ARC: So, in the end, we started recording again with the desire to harness, and make use of those noises. Some of the preparations included muting the strings, with hands and bits of old sheets and felt and various other things, all of which we used to kind of dampen the sound of the strings, so you actually hear more of the piano rather than less of it. A lot of the preparations were about embracing that sound.
EH: The other elements were ways of underpinning the artefacts inherent in the piano recordings… We wanted the textures to be very real and very tactile so we experimented a lot with tape (which we both love for the richness and realness that it imparts). We'd usually start by cutting tape loops down to size and then recording phrases (from piano, cello, toy keyboards etc) onto the tape. Once we had a loop we were happy with we'd take it out of the cassette and subject it to all manner of processes; from sticking bits of cellotape over the playing side of the tape (to create these sort of gaps in sound), to putting the loops in vinegar solutions, or outside in the sunshine. Anything to see if the process changed the surface of the tape and gave it new characteristics that we were looking for. We'd rigged up a series of reel-to-reel machines as a kind of delay network, which was usually the final stage the loops would go through. So there's a very 'cut and paste' aesthetic to the textural sounds which we hope make the record feel a lot more intimate, personal and real.
Please describe the Pie Corner studio and the inspiration you both must have felt from being immersed in the quiet, idyllic countryside (in stark contrast to the chaotic London city centre)? You must have some fond memories of the recording process itself and seeing these tracks take shape, so to speak?
ARC: Well, I actually found it quite uninspiring at first! In London, I'd be inspired by everything and anything in day-to-day life; just the normal business of a city being a city, fashion, architecture, even just the sounds a train going past, that was all a part of my inspiration. Not to mention watching some amazing musicians and thinking, "Wow, how do they do that?" In the countryside, it's just us on our own, and you're like, "Shit. I don't know what to do." Pie Corner is this old farmer's cottage and when we moved in it was pretty run down, old green carpets and floral wallpaper, that kind of thing, which didn't help…
EH: That's actually another reason the record took a while, the first month or so was spent ripping up all the carpets, sanding the floors, stripping back wallpaper and painting!
ARC: But actually once we finished decorating, the house became this amazing space… We made the living room into a studio, it's a really nice room looking out onto a beautiful wild garden, with white walls and these big, floor length red velvet curtains which we use as 'sound proofing' (not very well – I'm sure you can still hear birdsong and planes at points on the record!), it's really atmospheric and it's kinda got a Twin Peaks vibe, hasn't it?
EH: Yeah, it's very Twin Peaks! It's great having the studio in the building you live in, combined with the freedom we have living here means we can create music whenever we feel the urge to do so; we're not restricted to studio hours – if it's the middle of the night, or maybe we're watching a film, and are inspired to create something, we can just walk next door! 'Little Blue' for instance, was created one night when I couldn't sleep… I went downstairs and started tinkering with that tape machine delay network I mentioned and just ran some piano from a mic test we'd done through it.
For me this record feels like a new beginning – starting anew – where and an overarching feeling of hope resides throughout the record's drifting melancholy. Many defining moments are dotted across the debut full-length but a piece such as 'Falling In' – the album's centrepiece – epitomise the spirit of the album: an empowering piano composition with a tender, warm heartbeat filled with such divine textures. Please talk me through this particular piece of music and shed some light (if possible) on the collaborative process between the pair of you?
EH: 'Falling In' was the first track we wrote in Pie Corner. It was one of the few tracks where we didn't really condense or refine what we had captured live. As it came after this long process of adaptation and renovation I think you're right – for me it's very much about beginnings, renewal and rebirth.
ARC: In terms of our collaborative process, it really varies from track to track. As Ed mentioned, 'Little Blue' was just him messing around with some test recordings, 'Blooms' was me writing a piano piece to go with some loops I found on his machines whilst he was away one weekend, 'Falling In' was live improvisation with a couple of overdub 'joining' sections… On the whole it was mostly Ed and me playing with compositions until we were happy with them, then recording our parts live and then fleshing them out with other elements and writing parts for guest musicians ('Sleeper', 'Slow Slowly', 'The Ballad of a Small Player' for example).
EH: We tried not to be too restrictive about how we worked. We were very keen to limit ourselves to quite a minimal sound palette, but wanted to have an 'anything goes' style of collaborating!
Another great hallmark of the debut is the sheer range of textures and sonic timbres that are crafted and so carefully inter-woven. For example, the ethereal vocals on 'Sleeper' are mesmerizing; the ambient pulse of delays of album closer 'Outpour', the joyously uplifting melodies of 'In Red And Red' and the utterly transcendent crescendo of the tour-de-force, 'Slow Slowly'. I wonder were there any happy accidents so to speak during the album recording sessions (or indeed the writing process)? Do you feel there were any challenges or concerns posed during any of the music-making stages?
ARC: The whole record is happy accidents!
EH: I'm not sure if 'accidents' is the right word, because we spent such a long time establishing a musical relationship with each other that we kind of put ourselves in a position where things would come instinctively… but definitely not always on purpose… so actually, maybe 'accidents' is right! I do think that these 'accidents' are a part of that process and not removed from it though.
Looking back over the album, what do you feel were the sum of influences and inspirations that found its way into the music itself?
ARC: I think the lack of cultural activity surrounding us during the process of making the record has meant that the sound palette is a bit more curated than it could have been otherwise… the lack of gigs etc around us means we spend a lot of time listening back through our record collections, watching films and being out in the countryside. We had to work to feel inspired, well I feel like we did anyway.
EH: I totally agree, and I think that this wide array of listening coupled with not having access to music in a live environment has meant that the record, whilst it does have influences, and they're, at times, quite apparent, is a very personal record… This coupled with the rickety piano and living room studio means it's definitely not a pristine, polished record. I feel like it's got personality and a soul…

Salmond won't appear before inquiry committee on Tuesday

Alex Salmond is no longer to appear before a Scottish Parliament committee on Tuesday.
The former first minister was expected to face the Committee on the Scottish Government Handling of Harassment Complaints.
However, on Monday morning, the Scottish Parliament said Salmond had not confirmed he would appear, and therefore the hearing would not go ahead.
A Scottish Parliament spokeswoman said: "Mr Salmond has not confirmed that he will attend the committee meeting on Tuesday and he has raised a number of issues for clarification. Tuesday's evidence session will therefore not go ahead.
"Mr Salmond had been contacted to make it clear that he can speak freely in committee about all of his contact with Nicola Sturgeon and his views on her actions.
"He was given the opportunity to make a lengthy opening statement on Tuesday and would have had four hours to answer questions in public. He was also invited to send more written evidence for publication after the meeting.
"The committee has already published two lengthy submissions from Mr Salmond and many, many pages of records and documents from him that he has been invited to speak freely about in parliament on Tuesday.
"All of this written and oral evidence could then be reflected in the committee's report.
"The committee continues to communicate with Mr Salmond's representatives."
SNP chief executive Peter Murrell is expected to give evidence at the committee on Monday.
Murrell, husband of First Minister Nicola Sturgeon, last appeared at the committee in December, but opposition parties have since raised questions about the evidence he gave.
Conservatives had threatened to trigger a vote on whether Sturgeon misled parliament if Murrell did not reappear at the committee.
The committee is expected to discuss "division between Scottish Government and party political matters".
Committee convener Linda Fabiani previously sought clarity from Murrell over a meeting between Sturgeon and Salmond at her Glasgow home on April 2 2018.
During this meeting, the First Minister was told by her predecessor of complaints of harassment made against him.
Responding to a letter from Fabiani, Murrell said Sturgeon had mentioned the planned meeting the night before it took place.
Meanwhile, messages from women who made complaints about Alex Salmond must remain private, the SNP's chief operating officer has said.
In her first public statement on the issue, Sue Ruddick said she had "reported an act of physical aggression by Mr Salmond" to the police.
She released a statement as Murrell gave evidence to a Holyrood committee examining the Scottish Government's handling of harassment complaints.
Last week, the committee reviewed messages between women which it had received from the Crown Office before unanimously agreeing not to publish them.
Committee convener Linda Fabiani said these message chains represented "safe spaces for confidential support".
On Monday, Ms Ruddick said she was concerned the committee would seek the production of further messages.
She accused the committee of allowing itself to be led by people close to Mr Salmond who were seeking to "bolster his reputation" through false allegations.
She said: "It is becoming increasingly clear that the committee is determined to ignore complainers privacy rights and refer to, act upon and make public – whether in writing or through oral reference in a public session – private, confidential communications, despite having no lawful power to do so.
"Private communications between myself and Mr Murrell are in no way relevant to this committee's remit.
"I am not a government employee and had no role in the complaints process of the Scottish Government.
"The messages the committee saw last week confirm I reported to Police Scotland an act of physical aggression by Mr Salmond.
"The messages confirmed there was no conspiracy.
"Having read those messages, the committee stated its desire to avoid further distress to complainers, yet just a few days later, considers it proportionate to act on my private communications, against my express wishes, when they have been unlawfully obtained and produced."
Mr Salmond was acquitted of 13 charges including sexual assault, attempted rape and indecent assault following a trial at the High Court in Edinburgh last year.
Ms Ruddick continued: "Last week it appeared, briefly, that the complainers' rights had finally been taken into account; yet within minutes press reporting suggested this conclusion was wholly unfounded.
"It would be nothing short of astonishing if, as media reports suggest, the committee intends to discuss or seek production of further messages, despite the clear and obvious breach of my privacy rights, notwithstanding the further distress that would involve."
Ms Ruddick said her privacy had been breached repeatedly through "selective leaks" over the past several months.
She continued: "These are private and personal communications which should not need to be in the public domain to prove a theory false or for complainers to be believed.
"Publication and discussion of private messages relating to a police complaint are outwith the committee's remit, and offering support to a friend and complainer is not a conspiracy.
"It is, however, a complete invasion of my privacy and has already led to further distress to the other women involved in complaints against Mr Salmond, and those we turned to for support.
"In my case, this included Peter Murrell."
She added: "The bullying and intimidation of complainers through use of their private and personal communications must end now.
"It is incredibly disappointing that complainers' personal experiences of Mr Salmond are being ignored, and that this committee has allowed itself to be led by selective quoting, leaks and false allegations, all made in an attempt by Mr Salmond and those around him to bolster his reputation."
