In September 2017 I started regular visits to Buhl, Idaho to begin in-depth learning about permaculture farming including an internship, and to try to paint more. Alas! with the move, I no longer had a studio. But the Universe (aka the great whatever) had a surprise for me in the form of a gracious offer from a friend to put the studio right on the permaculture farm. So I decided it would be a great place to center a creative workspace, and it was time to go ahead and build.
I've never done any kind of home construction prior to this project, but I've had armchair interest in small portable homes and shipping container construction for a while now. So I decided to build my art studio in a shipping container, which can be moved when needed. The shipping container was delivered in early October (the day before I left for a month of international travel). Construction in earnest began in early November. Since then, I've had more time than money and a keen interest to learn some new things, so I've done most of the work myself. But there is a growing list of fine people who have lent a hand along the way (see below).
While having the shell made the structural part of the work easy and the outer dimensions fixed, I still had to frame the interior space to make it comfortable and functional. This included insulation and heat, electrical, walls that art can hang on, storage, a sink that captures my dirty water for appropriate disposal, and above all adequate lighting. It has taken about two months to get all that in place. But now the space is usable and I have been able to to get back to painting after over five months of not having a studio. And it's totally portable and can go anywhere I do.
What's left is mostly the finish work–paneling and trim, ceiling, floors (which I will do in the spring), install a wood stove, and countertops, and then window and door trim. Eventually, the power will come from solar panels and the whole thing can be packed up and moved when I move. I'll continue to work on that over the next couple of months as I have time between art deadlines and working at my permaculture internship.


SUPERB!!!10/10. By far the best episode from the second season. If only the rest of the season had been this good. There were a few good ones in season 2, but the first season is far more enjoyable. Rich.
Apparently Brian Clemens said this was his favourite NA episode.
"He likes his tea stirred anti-clockwise."
Stunning in this, and all the rest of the cast are at the top of their game too.
Thanks for that. I have seen him in quite a few parts but did not realize it. He is a brilliant actor.
From one extreme to the other!
I haven't watched any TNA since subjecting myself to Trap nearly two weeks ago. In fact at that point I stopped recording the current ITV4 run so I only have 3 or 4 left to view.
What a great surprise this was. A strong plot with tension and drama. Although I'm fond of the "wacky" episodes with over-the-top characters this more straightforward story was a breath of fresh air and very welcome.
Cracking stuff, an hour well spent.
The best TNA episode and one of the best Avengers of all time. Also worthy of note as it is probably the last decent use of Gambit before the writers degenerated him into idiot comedy stooge.
I love and hate this episode. I love it because it really is an excellent dramatic story, good script, great performances by the whole cast, proper tension and an excellent pay-off. I hate it because it seems to catalyze the obsession with putting Steed through as much suffering as possible. The final shot of him standing over the dead body of a man who, despite everything, he considered a friend; the fact that his past and his deep concern for his friends and loved ones has been used so violently against him; the destruction of things, even if they are just things, that he loves; and the fact that neither one of his much younger partners are able to share that pain with him, because they haven't seen half as much as he has, makes this both a powerful episode and a slightly cruel one. Macnee proves that he really is a fine actor and reflects both the pain and the nobility that makes Steed such a wonderful character. At the same time, I wish that Clemens and the other writers throughout this series had not felt it quite so necessary to constantly assault the soul of their franchise.
Ahem. I have feelings about this episode.
I just think that it's unnecessary to put him through as much as he gets put through in TNA. It would be one thing if it was just this episode, but there's a thread that runs through the series of "let's see how we can make Steed suffer today." It sacrifices other character development, is an easy out for the writers to create "drama," and at times seems borderline mean-spirited. In terms of emotional suffering and loss, he doesn't really catch a break.
But this episode is an excellent one, and it's a probably a testament to how good it is that we're made to feel so much for our hero. I still prefer the first half of season 2 to anything else in TNA, not least because Steed finally gets to do something.
Dead men are dangerous is the latest episode under review. Please add your reviews here. Thanks, Rich.
There are so many wonderful things about this episode, including the fabulous folly location and a number of first class guest actors. However, it is arguably too dark with only Gambit's flirtation to lift our spirits. I too think that the recurring leitmotif of Steed suffering in Series 2 was overplayed. I gave it 9/10 because dramatically it is very powerful. Lacking the light wit to give it a full 10!
There are many genres covered in The Avengers, but I always like the psychological thrillers best of all. Stay tuned, Too many Christmas trees, The Joker, too many to mention. Dead men are dangerous is almost, but not quite, in the same league as these classics. If TNA had returned for a third season I would have hoped to have seen more of these deeper kind of stories. This episode is by far the strongest in season 2 of TNA. Angels of death is a worthy runner up, but overall season 2 doesn't live up to either season 1 or this classic episode. 10/10. Rich.
Dead Men Are Dangerous was a great choice for the Review Circle, one of my favourite TNA episodes. Much is debated about the style of the show and whether it follows on from the stylish spy-fi approach of the sixties. For me, much of TNA actually fits into the late 70s crime/action genre that also included shows like The Sweeney and The Professionals. However, just as there are some episodes that do harken back to the moody 60s fantasies, there are some episodes that very much tap into the Le Carre and Forsyth populated espionage field of fiction. This is one of them, and that's why I love it so much. The action is there to illustrate plot developments, rather than fighting actually being the plot, and even then much of this happens off camera such as the raid on Steed's apartment. As in serious spy fiction, we discover events at the same time as the characters even if we know who the antagonists are. The narrative approach of this kind of story appeals to me, with a darkness and tension created while still having a feel of normality for the characters. Too many writers make events that are subjectively big for the characters into overblown events that also look big on screen, but the beauty here is how the episode never tries to be spectacular but still shows a meaningful impact on our heroes. All of the non-regular characters get their moments on screen, and it's especially nice to see Gabrielle Drake given an interesting character with depth and her own motivations to play. I always felt she was underused in UFO. The locations are also a success in this production, with the tower used for the climax' exteriors being especially memorable. And maybe best of all for me is the softly haunting incidental music as Steed's past creeps up on him. It was the kind of music you might associate with horror or fantasy, and worked well with the impression from Steed's viewpoint that he was being stalked by a dead man.
As Alex says, the guest characters/actors are first class. Terry Taplin - one of Britain's most underrated actors - is sublime as the seedy henchman, Hara. His violent relationship with Crayford is fascinatingly disturbing.
I love this episode, easily one of the best of The New Avengers. Some great cinematography from Ernie Steward and direction from Sid Hayers coupled with a fun if clicheed plot makes for some fine viewing.
We have that great suspense with the bullet creeping closer to Crayford's heart which is sidelined into a subplot as the episode continues, then arises at the climax.
The locations are very well chosen, in particular the folly and the German forest.
Gabrielle Drake is fantastic as the week's love interest for Gambit, it's a shame she never made a return appearance.
It sites well with the first half of the second series of TNA, which is very strong.
This is definitely a 10; one of the best in the TNA canon.
It's always great getting some past history of Steed, and how his earlier cases went. Crayford surviving and coming back into Steed's life, solely for revenge, is a good originating plot. I found the second theme of Crayford's shrapnel getting closer to killing him added well to the tension, especially at the marvelously well directed ending in the folly. Luckily, Gambit missed most of it (yay!), so we could focus on Steed.
In terms of acting--notice the clear fear in Steed's eyes, and his one step back, as he sees Crayford's gun pointed directly on him. Such subtle movements for such dramatically expressed emotions. Marvelous acting by Macnee showing both the fear and both the English way of confronting it.
We also solidify quite clearly Purdey's love for Steed and Steed's love for Purdey; nothing is clearer and more apparent in this episode than their feelings for each other. I'm not saying "in love," but it's made crystal clear that they do really love and deeply care for each other.
Steed's nobility is impressive and touching to the audience. After all his years as a spy/agent, Steed has climbed to higher levels of integrity, uprightness and worthiness both as an agent and as a gentleman. When we see other agents going bad, becoming drunkards, turning traitors, seeking revenge, and when we remember the early Steed, the Steed of Keel and Gale, we see that it is pretty rare for a man getting surviving to the later stages of his active agent life to be a better man than he was in the early stages.
I think the suffering of Steed was a wholly elegant method of us to learn more about his past, and also about him, and we are left applauding his nature and the magnanimity of his soul.

Q: Observer not getting triggered on checkbox checked property when testing in IE-8 Hi there my dear community members. I am having an issue only in IE 8 when testing for handling checkbox click events. Here is a JSBIN link where you can see the issue : http://jsbin.com/jicijilo/1/
Sorry that I had to inject whole of the mocha adapter and expectjs source codes in them because apparently only mozilla can handle raw sources like these https://raw.githubusercontent.com/teddyzeenny/ember-mocha-adapter/master/adapter.js
The test itself is very simple, I have a list of questions and each question has active attribute which is boolean. I have a header checkbox that toggles this "active" attribute of all the questions. In ie8 however, when we click on the checkbox using click helper, the observer doesn't seem to be getting triggered! Here is the core code for the test:

The test fails in ie8 but if you were to click on the checkbox manually, the observer does get triggered. Your help will be much appreciated. Thanks, Dee

A: So it turned out that in the Ember.Checkbox is looking for change event, but I guess when testing, the click event doesn't fire change event in ie8, so this is what I had to do to get my tests passing in ie8:
        it("test header toggle", function() {

            click($("input[name='toggleAll']")).then(function() {
                $("input[name='toggleAll']").trigger("change");//explicitly trigger change event
                var chkd = $("input[name='toggleAll']")[0].checked;
                $(".question input").each(function(index, dom){
                  expect(dom.checked).to.be(chkd);
                });
            });
        });

The Toronto Civic Employees' Union Local 416 (CUPE) and the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) Local 79 have announced that they are on strike. The locals were in a legal strike position as of 12:01 a.m. on Monday, June 22, 2009.
After originally posting this list we had a great response from our members and Toronto residents. With their permission we have posted their own tips and suggestions below. Check them out and feel free to send your own to heather(at)torontoenvironment.org.
Leave wasteful and bulky packaging at the store if you can.
Thank you to those who sent in the following tips.
Terrel Wong, a TEA member and Environmental Architect, says: "The Giblet Bag: Anything smelly and organic that can't go into the composter can go in a small bag which is keep in the freezer for the green bin weekly. During the strike we have chosen meat with less bones to reduce the volume of waste. With all the other composting we have only a 3L milk bag every two weeks. It does not smell – no critters in the green bin – the green bin stays sanitary. "
Loree P says: "I've gone back to composting vegetable matter (including eggshells) back into the tall plants in the front yard as well as tossing it amongst the plants in the back yard....although it is not a proper 'composting bin' it has been working just fine and only attracting fruit flies The racoons have no desire for it. The other stuff like cheese, meat bones are still going into my green bin----family of 4, I actually still have room to fill it"
Anna Luengo, a TEA member, says: "I just want to say, though, that I have found absolutely no coverage of the issue with disposable diapers and wonder why this is the case.
I am old enough but not too old to remember using only cloth diapers for my son right through winters and summers without any problem whatsoever and without a dryer -- I actually still don't have one. It was very easy and there were very few diaper rashes. And this was when a lot of people were using disposables so I was quite different in that respect. I didn't believe in having all of this garbage to deal with and cloth was a good, tried and true, way of coping.
Once the main mess of the diaper was flushed down the toilet and the diaper rinsed by just holding the edges of it while the toilet flushed, you could squeeze it out on the side of the toilet (without having to wring it with both hands), put it into a solution which I used to use call "NapiSan". It was an Australian product that was baking soda based, I think, and you just put some of the powder into a diaper pail of water. By the next day, once you had a bunch of diapers soaking in the NapiSan, you simply drained the Napisan water off and threw the diapers into the washing machine with a soft detergent like Lux. The Napisan took away the toxicity of the urine and basically sanitized the diapers for another use. I hung the diapers out in my basement with a fan on them and they would be dry in about 5 hours or so. I did this for almost three years, while working full-time with another older child. It worked very well. Perhaps researching a product that is like Napisan would be a good idea. Perhaps it is not environmentally friendly."
Suzanne, a TEA member, says: "I have been drying my organic waste. I spread some organics on a pan to dry them before putting them in the green bin.
Peels and vegetable bits dry up rather than rot if left in the open air and they don't smell.
If you allow much of the water content to evaporate you don't end up with a bag of smelly brown water."
@MMiddleton, suggests via twitter: "If you have a garden, dig around your plants and bury your veggie scraps for free fertilizer."

Soweto Gospel Musical Tradition Sunday
(Plus, music from the African Continent)
Today's music explores the music from the continent of Africa with the anthems coming from the Soweto Gospel tradition and those American composers now writing in that tradition to help keep it alive.
"Soweto is an urban settlement or 'township' in South Africa, southwest of Johannesburg, with a population of approximately 1.3 million (2008, Joburg archive). Soweto was created in the 1930s when the White government started separating Blacks from Whites. Blacks were moved away from Johannesburg, to an area separated from White suburbs by a so-called cordon sanitaire (or sanitary corridor) this was usually a river, a railway track, an industrial area, or a highway etc., they did this by using the infamous 'Urban Areas Act' in 1923. Soweto became the largest Black city in South Africa, but until 1976 its population could have status only as temporary residents, serving as a workforce for Johannesburg. It experienced civil unrest during the Apartheid regime. There were serious riots in 1976, sparked by a ruling that Afrikaans be used in African schools there; the riots were violently suppressed, with 176 striking students killed and more than 1,000 injured. Reforms followed, but riots flared up again in 1985 and continued until the first multiracial elections were held in April 1994."
Sahoboss. "Soweto." South African History Online. March 20, 2017. Accessed February 03, 2018. http://www.sahistory.org.za/places/soweto.
"The South African choral tradition, spread from Christian missions to mine workers toiling in deplorable conditions, has persevered into the 21st century. Ladysmith Black Mambazo brought it to the world's attention in the 1970s. The Soweto Gospel Choir has married it to American gospel."
Mhuebner@al.com, Michael Huebner |. "Soweto Gospel Choir weds traditions with exuberant music, dance." AL.com. February 14, 2010. Accessed February 03, 2018. http://blog.al.com/mhuebner/2010/02/soweto_gospel_choir_weds_tradi.html.
"The music, which uses traditional African call-and-response structure and rhythms and Western vocal arrangements, was born in the missionary churches of South Africa. Over time, a style developed that embraced both the hymns the missionaries had brought with them and the traditional music of Africa."
Uhles, Stephen. "Soweto Gospel Choir Looks to Tradition." The Augusta Chronicle, 16 Mar. 2006, chronicle.augusta.com/music/2006-03-16/soweto-gospel-choir-looks-tradition, page=3
Offertory Anthem: "Ke Na Le Modisa" arr. Henri William Otsomotsi
This text is in Northern Sotho. It is the Psalm 23 translated. Northern Sotho is one of the official languages of South Africa and is a member of the Bantu/Nguni family of languages. It is spoken by about 4.2 million people in the South African provinces of Gauteng, Limpopo and Mpumalanga. Northern Sotho is referred to as Pedi or Sepedi in South Africa. Pedi is one variety of Northern Sotho spoken by the Pedi people who live in South Africa, Zimbabwe and Botswana. The Pedi dialect of Northern Sotho is also the basis for the written language.
I have a shepherd – what do I need?
He calls himself Jehovah, The living God
He leads me to green pastures, Food for my soul
He leads me beside peaceful streams; To water that fills my soul
When I am lost, He leads me back home; He leads me to the right paths with his love
Even when l walk through the dark valley of death, I shall fear no evil for you are with me.
Communion Anthem: "Our Blessing Cup" Thomas W. Jefferson
Psalm 116 inspires this anthem. Notice the rhythms and compare them to the those in the Soweto selection.
Thomas W. Jefferson is a pianist, composer, arranger, and music transcriber. He holds a Bachelor of Music from Texas A&I University, Kingsville, a MM from Chicago Musical College, and a DM from Northwestern University. He is the author of I Hear Music in the Air: Gospel-Style Piano Technique, and Spirituals for Piano: Let it Shine, volumes 1 & 2, in addition to has numerous choral pieces and arrangements published with WLP, GIA, Augsburg Fortress Press, and Earthsongs. Thomas currently serves on the piano faculty at North Park University and Sherwood Community Music School and is music director at Basilica of Our Lady of Sorrows on Chicago's west side.
Hymn: "Jesus, lover of my soul" (Aberystwyth) Joseph Parry (1841-1903)
"When Dr Joseph Parry, the famous Merthyr Tydfil born composer died on February 17, 1903, he left behind a musical legacy which is still celebrated today. In churches and chapels, thanks to the choral traditions of Wales and his many adoring fans in both this country and the USA, hymns like the famous Myfanwy and Aberystwyth are still sung by the masses. Remarkably though that later composition, his ode to the west Wales town where, in 1874 he accepted a role as Professorship of Music at Aberystwyth University has since become an anthem for African unity, a symbol of strength against struggle, oppression and apartheid. In 1897 Enoch Sontonga, a teacher at a Methodist mission school in Johannesburg took inspiration from Parry's work. Aberystwyth had become a well-travelled hymn, its popularity had grown famous across many of the world's Christian continents through the work of the missionaries. Sontonga created Nkosi Sikelel' iAfrika (Lord Bless Africa in Xhosa), to the tune of Parry's Aberystwyth. The song became a pan-African liberation anthem adopted by black South Africans during the apartheid era. Its significance was maybe demonstrated best when sung by a crowd of thousands when Nelson Mandela was inaugurated as South Africa's president in 1994. And in 1995 Nelson Mandela used the anthem (and rugby) to unite his people in post-apartheid South Africa."

As news on the Great Cyprus Bank Robbery keep getting worse, the latest being the country's corrupt finance minister Michael Sarris saying that as much as 80% of "large" bank deposits can be confiscated, Americans should be on the alert to copycat moves by our feral government and bankers. All the more because the American Left are applauding the theft of Cypriots' bank savings.
Tyler Durden of ZeroHedge warns us that when bankrupt insolvent governments "run out of fingers to plug the dikes," history shows that they fall back on a very limited playbook.
1. Direct confiscation: As Cyprus showed us, bankrupt governments are quite happy to plunder people's bank accounts, especially if it's a wealthy minority. Aside from bank levies, though, this also includes things like seizing retirement accounts (Argentina), increases in civil asset forfeiture (United States), and gold criminalization.
2. Taxes: Just another form of confiscation, taxation plunders the hard work and talent of the citizenry. But thanks to decades of brainwashing, it's more socially acceptable. We've come to regard taxes as a 'necessary evil,' not realizing that the country existed for decades, even centuries, without an income tax. Yet when bankrupt governments get desperate enough, they begin imposing new taxes… primarily WEALTH taxes (Argentina) or windfall profits taxes (United States in the 1970s).
3. Inflation: This is indirect confiscation– the slow, gradual plundering of people's savings. Again, governments have been quite successful at inculcating a belief that inflation is also a necessary evil. They're also adept at fooling people with phony inflation statistics.
4. Capital Controls: Governments can, do, and will restrict the free-flow of capital across borders. They'll prevent you from moving your own money to a safer jurisdiction, forcing you to keep your hard earned savings at home where it can be plundered and devalued. We're seeing this everywhere in the developed world… from withdrawal limits in Europe to cash-sniffing dogs at border checkpoints. And it certainly doesn't help when everyone from the IMF to Nobel laureate Paul Krugman argue in favor of Capital Controls.
5. Wage and Price controls: When even the lowest common denominator in society realizes that prices are getting higher, governments step in and 'fix' things by imposing price controls. Occasionally this also includes wage controls… though wage increases tend to be vastly outpaced by price increases. Of course, as any basic economics textbook can illustrate, price controls never work and typically lead to shortages and massive misallocations.
6. Wage and Price controls– on STEROIDS: When the first round of price controls don't work, the next step is to impose severe penalties for not abiding by the terms. In the days of Diocletian's Edict on Prices in the 4th century AD, any Roman caught violating the price controls was put to death. In post-revolutionary France, shopkeepers who violated the "Law of Maximum" were fleeced of their private property… and a national spy system was put into place to enforce the measures.
7. Increased regulation: Despite being completely broke, governments will dramatically expand their ranks in a last desperate gasp to envelop the problem in sheer size. In the early 1920s, for example, the number of bureaucratic officials in the German Weimar Republic increased 242%, even though the country was flat broke from its World War I reparation payments and hyperinflation episode. The increase in both regulations and government officials criminalizes and/or controls almost every aspect of our existence… from what we can/cannot put in our bodies to how we are allowed to raise our own children.
8. War and National Emergency: When all else fails, just invade another country. Pick a fight. Keep people distracted by working them into a frenzy over men in caves… or some completely irrelevant island.
U.S. intelligence agencies don't believe Iran is actively trying to build a nuclear bomb!
A highly classified U.S. intelligence assessment circulated to policymakers early last year largely affirms that view, originally made in 2007. Both reports, known as national intelligence estimates, conclude that Tehran halted efforts to develop and build a nuclear warhead in 2003.
The most recent report, which represents the consensus of 16 U.S. intelligence agencies, indicates that Iran is pursuing research that could put it in a position to build a weapon, but that it has not sought to do so.
Although Iran continues to enrich uranium at low levels, U.S. officials say they have not seen evidence that has caused them to significantly revise that judgment. Senior U.S. officials say Israel does not dispute the basic intelligence or analysis.
But Israel appears to have a lower threshold for action than Washington. It regards Iran as a threat to its existence and says it will not allow Iran to become capable of building and delivering a nuclear weapon. Some Israeli officials have raised the prospect of a military strike to stop Iran before it's too late.
It's unclear how much access U.S. intelligence has in Iran, a problem that bedeviled efforts to determine whether Iraq had weapons of mass destruction before the U.S.-led invasion in 2003.
The assessment that Saddam Hussein had secretly amassed stockpiles of chemical and biological weapons and was seeking to build a nuclear weapon, cited by the George W. Bush administration to justify the invasion, turned out to be wrong.
Iran barred inspectors from the International Atomic Energy Agency, the U.N.'s nuclear watchdog group, from visiting Parchin, a military site, this week to determine whether explosives tests were aimed at developing nuclear technology.
An IAEA report in November cited "serious concerns" about "possible military dimensions to Iran's nuclear program," but did not reach hard conclusions.
Lest we forget, the C.I.A. also did not anticipate the collapse of communism across the Soviet bloc.
Our intelligence agencies are correct, which means we are being told yet another lie to justify yet another war.
Be it 1 or 2, neither is good news.


If you live anywhere in the US, save South Florida, you've had a bit of snow this year. Having grown up in the Midwest, moving to South Florida was quite a shock to my system. The lack of snow and winter coats, bulky sweaters and fall leaves was quite a jolt for this four-season girl. Being closer to my geographical roots has been great fun, especially watching snow fall, but it has also required a bit of fine-tuning, on many levels. From wardrobe to home decor. Oddly enough the Caribbean decor doesn't quite seem to fit here in the heart of the Bluegrass. Who knew?
So you will understand my excitement when I came across this sweater that had been my Mama's.
Having lost Mom 5 years ago, I find comfort in having things scattered about our home that remind us of her. She was an extremely creative soul who loved sewing, decorating & finding great bargains. Some of those bargains included clothes that fit her personality perfectly, reminded me of her, but would never work for me… as a wardrobe item at least. Enter a little outside the box thinking, and you have this..
It was a perfect Sunday afternoon project. They are simple envelope pillows with a soft fleece envelope style opening in the back. Turns out, it's a quick project for one of those snow days when it's just too cold to head outside for one more round of sledding.
The first step was to square up the sweater to accommodate for my pillow forms and get the most use of the sweater. I cut up both side seams from the hem to the bottom of the arm piece.
To keep it straight, I used my rotary cutter and ruler to finish cutting the arm edge.
And again across the top of the sweater.
Because I had removed some of the knots from the heavier white yarn that ran through the design, I flipped the sweater over to the wrong side and tied off those loose strands. I didn't want to finish the pillow just to have it start unraveling.
I chose some soft grey fleece to use for the back of the pillow. Why? It has a great body and texture to it and it's soft and fuzzy, which is always a nice option for a pillow. But mostly, because it was in my fabric closet, and that's just how I roll on this sort of a project.
I typically finish the edge with a 1/2″ double hem. To do that I fold the fabric under 1″ and press, then fold the raw edge under again and press. The result is two 1/2″ folds of fabric with no raw edge. I usually stitch this from the wrong side of the fabric 1/4″ away from the folded edge, so I can make sure I don't miss the edge of the hem. Once one long edge of each back piece is hemmed, the pillow backs can be pinned to the front.
With the pillow front laying right side up, place the pillow backs, right side down, on the pillow front. Line up the raw edges of the front and back, overlapping the hemmed edges in the middle of the pillow. It should look like this.
Stitch along all four edges with a 1/2″ seam. At this point, you can add another row of straight or zig zag stitching to reinforce the seam, or enclose it in bias tape so seam tape if you are concerned about raveling. Turn your pillow cover right side out and insert your pillow form and you're done. I love being able to quickly remove pillow covers to wash them and freshen them up with little effort. It's as simple as that.
Our winter pillows have been a perfect way for us to enjoy snow this winter. And we don't have to shovel it or tromp through it to get the mail. It also serves as a great diversion when your week has been chock full of snow days.
Perfect use of Mama's sweater!

Q: How to pass values from AJAX and JQuery to PHP in the same file I am current have the following script. I want pass a value from javascript to php by using AJAX. What's wrong with my code?
<script type=" text/javascript" src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.8.3.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
    $(document).ready(function () {
      $.post("index.php",{host:document.referrer},function(data){});
    });
</script>
<?php
$dataString=$_POST['host'];
echo $dataString;
?>

A: Since the PHP is executed first, you will never see the echo $dataString from your AJAX request.  This code will post your request to the server, but you'll never see the result.
Right now here is what is happening:

*

*Your web server renders out your page.

*Your browser posts a request to index.php, and ignores the result

From the docs you can see this:
$.post('index.php', function(data) {
  $('.result').html(data);
});

The data in that function will return what echo $dataString; outputs from your script.
Also, your post isn't configured correctly.  You need to put data: before {host:document.referrer}


Whether you're a car lover or just tired of scraping snow and blowing leaves off of your ride, timber framed carports enhance homes and increase their value. The selection of wood species and style can ensure that this outbuilding complements your home, and the structure can double as additional outdoor living space when needed.
Check out these timber framed carports we recently crafted and call us about building yours!
The White Pine timber frame's simple style beautifully complements the house and its surroundings. Attached to a covered entry, the homeowners now can stay dry carrying in groceries on a rainy day! Move the vehicles and there's a large shady spot for cooking out and hosting family gatherings.
This Cypress timber framed carport was added next to the home's garage to provide additional covered parking. Tucked seamlessly into the landscape, the timber frame was designed to complement a pergola we built several years earlier in front of the garage. Both structures enhance the mid-century style of the house.
I can't tell you how awesome it looks and what great guys Jeremy, Daniel and Joe were. Incredibly accommodating and attention to detail second to none. We are pleased beyond belief.
Dunwoody carport - before and during!


Wilson went vegan back in 2017.
Vegan actor Rainn Wilson, best known for his portrayal of Dwight Schrute, has taken to Instagram to talk about the horrific slaughter of dogs for meat in Indonesia.
Wilson publicly went vegan back in 2017, talking about his decision to cut animal products out of his diet on late night talk show 'Conan'.
The Humane Society International (HSI) has already saved hundreds of dogs from slaughter across countries such as South Korea.
Although there is demand for dog meat in Indonesia, the majority of the population (93%), do not consume it.
If you would like to join Rainn Wilson and thousands of others who want to see the end of the dog meat trade in Indonesia, make sure that you sign the petition here.


I know young teachers, not only in Simi Valley, but in other districts who are extremely talented, extremely dedicated, and extremely at risk of losing their jobs due to the state budget crisis. Funding for education in general, not only for teachers' salaries, faces cut backs that you're sure to feel if your children are enrolled in public schools.
The Simi Valley Education Foundation's history goes back over 20 years, having been instrumental in thousands of dollars in both monetary and school equipment donations. I can recall getting involved in the business community years ago and seeing other business owners making their involvement in supporting the foundation a primary objective. As the May deadline for anticipated layoff decisions approaches, I'm not only getting more concerned about the fate of our schools, but it's becoming increasingly obvious to me that the Simi Valley Education Foundation will become an even greater source of relief to our local school system.
Participating and donating has become a whole lot easier lately thanks to the Education Foundation's Affinity Partner program. By simply buying services from Affinity Partners, your qualified purchases can contribute to donations to the Foundation. Are you a fan of Woodranch Bistro? Stop by on Sunday and 20% of your food purchase will be donated to the Education Foundation. Gotta have your Jamba Juice? Me too! Swing by on a Monday and mention the Education Foundation so 20% of your purchase can be donated!
I'm very interested in participating as well. I'd like to see what I can put together to help raise funds for the Education Foundation… in the meantime, I'll be participating by patronizing the published Affinity Partners. You can do the same by viewing the list at the link below!

This calf shelter is meant for about 30 calves. It has a curved roof design that makes it less likely to be tipped by the wind, a skylight to brighten the interior and make it more inviting for calves, lift and carry hooks to make it easy to move, and a door designed on the side to be inviting and keep calves closer to their mother. Also available in a 7'x12' size (good for about 15 calves). Common Sense windbreaks and lift hooks are available add-ons for this calf shelter.
This calf shelter is meant for about 15 calves. It has a curved roof design that makes it less likely to be tipped by the wind, a skylight to brighten the interior and make it more inviting for calves, lift and carry hook attachments to make it easy to move, and a door designed on the side to be inviting and keep calves closer to their mother. Also available in a 7'x24' size (good for about 30 calves). Common Sense windbreaks and lift hooks are available add-ons for this calf shelter.
These lift hooks bolt on top of the Common Sense calf shelter so that it can be lifted with a tractor bucket. No chains are required and even in the dead of winter the calf shelter is easy to move. These lift hooks can be added to older shelters and are also designed to work on the portable windbreak.
This is not a freestanding windbreak. It is a recommended attachment to a Common Sense calf shelter on each or either side of the shelter in order to protect cattle against harsh winds and keep cows in an area where you want your calves to be. It can also be used on an existing fence line by chaining it to your posts. We also sell a 8'x24-1/2′ Portable Windbreak if you are looking for a windbreak that will stand alone.
This windbreak is durable, portable, and will stand on its own. There are 2 chains and latches on each end to attach multiple windbreaks together. The legs can be moved in in order to create a 90° corner.


If you are a visitor or a resident of Leland the Leland Breakwall is part of your fascination with this town. Either you have spent many hours casting Little Cleo's hope for a Brown Trout to bite, meandered out on the wall to watch the sunset with your first love, or perhaps you remember seeing the other side of the wall for the first time as you rode the Manitou Island Transit out to sea, we all are lured in some way to this wall and this is one of the only pieces of art commemorating it.
This tile can be hung on the wall with a nail or installed in a backsplash to keep your memories of Leland vivid even when you are miles away, or just up M22 on Lake Michigan.

Ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate is also known as octyl methoxycinnamate. It is a clear, liquid compound that absorbs UVB light and protects against burning rays. It has been safely tested, and extensively used, in cosmetics and sunscreens for decades.
We include it with butyl methoxydibenzoylmethane, which protects the skin from UVA rays. This gives wide-ranging protection in our sun protection products. They shield the skin from the sun's damaging effects.
Ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate and butyl methoxydibenzoylmethane in combination shield the skin from the damaging effects of the sun.
Different frequencies of ultraviolet (UV) light can cause different types of damage to our skin. UVB rays cause burning and the redness experienced from too much unprotected exposure to the sun. UVB encourages our skin to produce melanin, the pigment that gives your skin its natural colour. When skin begins to tan, it is a sign of damage and melanin is produced to protect skin.
UVA exposure penetrates the layers of the skin very deeply, contributing to the undesirable effects associated with ageing. It causes deterioration of collagen and elastin fibres, causing the skin's support to collapse from the inside. This leads to wrinkles on the surface of the skin. Butyl methoxydibenzoylmethane protects against damaging UVA rays.
The sun protection factor listed in sunscreen products refers to protection from UVB light, not UVA.
There is currently no uniform standard legislated for displaying a UVA protection factor, except in Japan. They are the first country to have an official method, which came into effect in 1996. It uses human volunteers to establish a darkening of the skin, or Persistent Pigment Darkening. The visible effects of UVA are quite subtle, as opposed to the redness caused by UVB, which is why it is not easy to quantify. So far, the EU has only issued guidelines similar to Japan's.
Our products have SPF factor testing for UVB and UVA established by an independent laboratory in Japan. The legislation in Japan allows us to display UVA protection values there. Here in Europe, we cannot make this claim, even though the products do give protection from UVA rays. When the legislation in the EU changes, we will be able to display this information.
Sunshine makes us happy and allows our bodies to produce vitamin D. Like anything else, however, sunshine must be enjoyed in moderation. Over exposure can lead to skin cancer and premature ageing. We use sunscreens with care and consideration in our products. They are combined with natural ingredients, such as fresh fruits, herbs and flowers, to protect and care for the skin.
We use ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate in our Paradise Regained and Skin Nanny moisturisers to protect the skin from exposure to the sun.


(February 21, 1809, Pułtusk - August 14, 1891, Avallon, France) was a Polish painter. Kwiatkowski participated in the November 1830 Uprising. After its suppression, he emigrated to France. His artistic work includes many images of Frederic Chopin, including a picture of him playing at a ball at Paris's Hôtel Lambert and Chopin on His Deathbed (1849).

iOS 9.2 is now out to the public, with iPhones and iPads all able to update to the latest and greatest that Apple has to offer. So far, we haven't heard of any show-stopping bugs with this release, but sometimes, these things need time to shake loose. If that does happen, or if you're finding your battery life is abysmal, for example, then you may want to restore to previous version of iOS and try again. Doing so isn't that big of a deal, and if you're going to do it, then there is never a better time than right now.
We say that because sooner or later, you won't be able to restore to iOS 9.1 because Apple will stop signing it, meaning it's iOS 9.2 or nothing for you. That's not going to happen today, or even tomorrow, but it will happen at some point. Keep that in mind. For that exact reason, you can't downgrade to any version of iOS earlier than iOS 9.1, like the iOS 9.0-9.0.2 which can be jailbroken with Pangu. This is a real shame if you wanted to do some jailbreaking. You'll just have to wait for the jailbreakers to do their thing for iOS 9.1 or 9.2, unfortunately.
So, with all that said, this is what you need to do to downgrade your iPhone or iPad from iOS 9.2 to iOS 9.1.
Note: Before downgrading, you must backup all of the data on your device. It is important to mention here that full device backups made on iOS 9.2 using iTunes or iCloud will not be restorable on iOS 9.1 because Apple doesn't allow restoring of backups made on newer versions of iOS on older versions of iOS. Because of this, we advise you to manually sync individual data either using iTunes or locally on your computer.
Step 1: Download IPSW file for the version of iOS 9.1 that goes with your particular device from here: Download iOS 9.1 Links For iPhone, iPad, iPod touch [IPSW].
Make sure you have the right one, otherwise the restore simply will not work. Save the file somewhere you can find it – you're going to need it later.
Step 2: Turn off Find My iPhone: launch the Settings app on your iOS device and go to to iCloud > Find My iPhone. Here, you'll need to disable the Find My iPhone feature to be able to perform a restore on the device.
Step 3: Connect your iOS device to your computer.
Step 4: Now, open iTunes, make sure that your device is selected and then click the Summary tab in the left panel under "Settings".
This is where you will see all of the details pertaining to the iOS device that is connected to your computer, including the current version of iOS it is using.
Step 5: Hold down the Shift key if you're on Windows, or Option/Alt key if on Mac, and click on Restore iPhone.
Step 6: You will now be asked to browse for an IPSW file. Navigate to the iOS 9.1 file that you downloaded earlier as part of step 1, select that file and follow the prompts, allowing iTunes to complete the restore.
When all that is done, you should be left with a nice, clean version of iOS 9.1 on your device, with no trace of iOS 9.2. See, that wasn't that hard now, was it?
that will be big slap on the foul face of apple over iOS 9.2 launch. Cheers up the good work Redmondpie.
I'm already boycotting your mom until she opens her bedroom window again.
I wonder what is main reason for jailbreaking nowadays? i used to in the early days of iOS but now .. is there a reason good enough to do that now ?


Customisable K-Star Legacy shorts will be available soon at the gym. You can now get your name put on to your shorts making them truly personal.

\section{Introduction}

The Haldane model~\cite{Hal} is a key model for understanding the topological states of 2D fermion systems--- the Chern insulators. The Chern number $C$ is well defined in insulator state, being an integer. The~Berry curvature is a gauge-invariant for both insulator and metal phases, in metal phase it defines a Chern number as an integral over the Fermi surface (in contrast to insulator phase, where an integral is defined over the Brillouin zone). The topological state in the metal state may be characterized by the charge or spin Chern numbers, which define the surface charge or spin currents that have a topological nature in the metal state. We will study the Chern state in insulator and metal phases in the framework of the Haldane model defined on two different 2D lattices in order to investigate the peculiarities of their behavior.

Models of strongly correlated electrons in decorated 2D lattices (such as the Lieb lattice) are extensively studied, motivated by the search for metallic (flat-band) ferromagnetism~\cite{A}. Phase diagrams of such models include different phases with spin, charge and spin-charge orderings. The topological and nematic phases are realized on the Lieb lattice for single fermion states forming a flat band~\cite{1,1a}. Traditionally, the topological insulator's (TI) behavior derives from the dispersive bands that have nontrivial Chern numbers or $\mathbb{Z}_2$~indices. The systems with dispersionless (flat) bands can be topological nontrivial, e.~g. flat Landau bands for particles in a magnetic field, where the fractional quantum Hall effect is the result of nontrivial correlated physics \cite{g}.
A 2D electron gas in transverse magnetic field, known as the Hofstadter model~\cite{Hof}, represents various quantum Hall states, each one is characterized by a quantum number--- the Chern number~\cite{Haf}.  The Chern insulator state where the bulk-edge correspondence accompanies the topological insulator state is realized in the Hofstadter model~\cite{Hof,c} (see also ref.~\cite{d}).

A model of TI on the Lieb lattice in 2D and its 3D counterpart the perovskite or edge centered cubic lattice that takes in account a spin-orbit interaction term has been presented in ref.~\cite{1}. The next-nearest neighbor spin-orbit-induced interaction opens a gap in the $M$ point and the system is TI at 1/3 and 2/3 band filling with $\mathbb{Z}_2$ index equals to 1 for two dispersive bands and 0 for topologically trivial flat band. In ref.~\cite{1a} the authors have considered a variant of the tight-binding model on the Lieb lattice that takes into account a staggered potential, nearest-neighbor (NN) and next-nearest-neighbor (NNN) hoppings of fermions. They have shown that the point of band crossing is not topologically nontrivial, but also only weak interaction can induce the TI phase. As~a~rule, the Chern number of the flat bands is $C_{\mathrm{flat}}=0$, therefore (opposed to Landau levels) we get no quantized Hall conductance for these particular flat bands.

We consider topological phase transitions in the framework of the Haldane model~\cite{Hal} on the honeycomb and Lieb lattices. The studied model is a variant of the Haldane model realizing on the Lieb lattice --- the tight-binding model of TI with the NN and NNN hoppings. The orbitals on the different sites of unit cell in the cubic lattice have different energies.  The phase diagram of the model also depends on the filling of the fermion bands, the TI phases are realized at 1/3 and 2/3 filling when the Fermi level is positioned within a forbidden band between flat and neighboring dispersing bands. At the point of the topological phase transition (TPT) the flat band and a neighboring dispersing band touch at the Dirac point. Breaking the time-reversal symmetry (TRS) leads to topological states that are fundamentally different from traditional insulator phases. In the studied model an inversion symmetry is conserved, the system exhibits a topological Chern insulator.

The purpose of this paper is to understand the topological state of the fermion system with different spectrum (namely band and flat band spectrum), to calculate the Chern numbers in both insulator and metal phases. We~will shown also that the flat band is isolated in the TI phase due to breaking TRS, therefore the flat band can be viewed as critical point at TPT.
In other words, we correlate the topological nature of the flat band and TPT from which emerges a reincarnation of  the quantum Hall conductivity. We~will show that the Chern number of the flat band is changed from zero to one depending on parameters of the model. The Chern state exhibits the chiral gapless edge modes that define the surface charge or spin currents in metal and insulator phases.

        (b)~the~Haldane model on the honeycomb lattice.
    } \label{fig:Model}
\end{figure}

We will analyze the tight-binding model of the TI defined on the honeycomb and Lieb lattices, that describes an influence of a magnetic field. In the real space the Hamiltonian of the model is
\begin{equation}
    {\cal H} = -t\sum_{\nearsites{i,j}} a^\dagger_{i} a^{\vphantom{\dagger}}_{j} -\tau \sum_{\nextnearsites{i,j}} \mathrm{e}^{\mathrm{i} \phi_{ij}} a^\dagger_{i}a^{\vphantom{\dagger}}_{j} +
        \epsilon \sum_{j=A} a^\dagger_{j} a^{\vphantom{\dagger}}_{j},
    \label{eq:H0}
\end{equation}
where $a^{\vphantom{\dagger}}_{j} $ and $a_{j}^\dagger$ are the spinless fermion operators with the usual anticommutation relations.
The first term represents NN hopping with a magnitude~$t$, the second term is NNN hopping with a hopping parameter $\tau$ and a Peierls phase~$\phi_{ij}$, the last term represents a staggered potential with a value~$\epsilon$. The unit cell of the Lieb lattice consists of three sites for the lattice denoted as $A$, $B$, $C$ and two sites $A$ and $B$ for the honeycomb lattice (see fig.~\ref{fig:Model}). The homogeneous Peierls phase $\phi_{ij}$ (denoted as $\pm\phi$ the clockwise (anticlockwise) NNN hopping relatively to a cell) is considered as the parameter of the model.
The model~(\ref{eq:H0}) defined on the honeycomb lattice has been introduced by Haldane~\cite{Hal}.
The phase state of the model on the  Lieb lattice for two different complex phases $\phi=\pi/4$ and $\phi=\pi/2$ at filling 1/3 has been investigated recently in ref.~\cite{2D}.

The NNN hoppings in~(\ref{eq:H0}) breaks TRS which is crucial in obtaining the TI phase. The staggered potential does not break inversion symmetry, the spectrum of one-particle excitations is a spatial inversion symmetric.
We~will investigate the ground-state phase diagram in a low filling region at ${0<n\leq 1/2}$. Using the particle-hole transformation $a_{j}^{\dagger} (a_{j}^{\vphantom{\dagger}})\to a_{j}^{\vphantom{\dagger}}(a_{j}^{\dagger})$ for the Hamiltonian (\ref{eq:H0}), one may obtain the phase diagram at filling $1/2<n\leq 1$, as ${\cal H}(t,\tau,\phi,\epsilon,n)\to {\cal H}(-t,-\tau,\phi,-\epsilon,1-n)$. The model (\ref{eq:H0}) can be considered as the Haldane model defined on the Lieb and honeycomb lattices.

\section{The honeycomb lattice}

The phase diagram of the Haldane model has a rich structure for different values of $t$ and $\tau$~\cite{I2}, in the case $t\gg\tau$ the system is in the insulator state at half-filling ${n=1}$. For arbitrary values of the parameters of the Hamiltonian (\ref{eq:H0}) the phase diagram consists of insulator, TI and metal phases at ${n=1}$. A traditional Haldane diagram $\epsilon =\pm 3\sqrt3 \tau \sin \phi$ (brown lines in fig.~\ref{fig:HPD}) that separates insulator and TI phases is realized in the $\tau\ll t$ limit. At $t<5\tau$ the phase diagram contains a metal phase which is shown in fig.~\ref{fig:HPD} for different values of $t$, this region decreases with increasing~$t$.

\begin{figure}[tb]

        The topological phase transition is marked with a brown line (a) ${\epsilon = \pm3\sqrt3 \tau\sin\phi}$ and (b) ${\epsilon = -4\tau\sin\phi}$.
        Blue regions stand for metal phase. The shaded region represents metal phase for arbitrary (including infinitesimal) values of~$t$.
        The black curve limits metal phase for $t\gg\tau,\epsilon$.
        Two lines separating metal (inside) and TI (outside) phases are shown for $t=\tau$ and $t=2\tau$.

    } \label{fig:HPD} \label{fig:MI}
\end{figure}

The phase of TI is defined by the Haldane diagram at ${t\gg\tau}$, the spectrum of excitations has a traditional form for TI (see in fig.~\ref{fig:HSpec}), where two bulk fermion subbands are connected via edge chiral modes. The Chern number and chiral edge modes define the state of the Chern insulator.
In the system with zero-net magnetic field~\cite{Hal} a filled band ($\gamma$ is a band index) with nontrivial Chern number $C_\gamma$ yields a Hall surface conductance ${\sigma_H = C_\gamma e^2/h}$. The Chern number is a topological invariant which can be easily defined for a band isolated from all other bands by the formula
\begin{equation}
    C_\gamma =\frac{1}{2\pi}\int_{BZ}{\cal B}_\gamma (\vect{k}) \mathrm{d}^2\vect{k}
    \label{eq:Chern}
\end{equation}
integrating over the Brillouin zone (BZ) of the system, where ${\cal B}_\gamma (\vect{k}) = \nabla_{\vect{k}}\times {\cal A}_\gamma (\vect{k})$ is the Berry curvature.
The~Berry potential
$${\cal A}_\gamma (\textbf{k})= -\mathrm{i} \langle u(\vect{k}) | \nabla_\vect{k} | u(\vect{k}) \rangle = -\mathrm{i} \sum_\rho^N \left(u^{ \gamma}_\rho(\vect{k})\right)^* \nabla_{\vect{k}}u^{ \gamma}_\rho (\vect{k})$$
is defined in terms of the Bloch states $u_\rho^\gamma (\textbf{k})$, $\rho$ is the index of the unit cell, $N$ is the total number of unit cells. The change of the value of the Chern number is realized at the point of the TPT in which the linear bands are reminiscent of a Dirac-like point.

\begin{figure}[tb]
    \centering{\leavevmode}
    \begin{minipage}[h]{0.48\linewidth}\center{\includegraphics[width=\linewidth]{Fig3a.png} \\ (a)}\end{minipage}

The wave vector $k$ is along the boundary.
    } \label{fig:HSpec}
\end{figure}

The Chern number (\ref{eq:Chern}) is well defined in the insulator state, due to the bulk-edge correspondence two edge chiral modes define the surface Hall conductance. The~surface Hall conductance is also realized in the metal state for different filling, when the Fermi level crosses the edge chiral modes.
The~surface conductance is defined by the number of the chiral edges, that crosses at one point the Fermi surface.
Let~us consider the behavior of the system in the topological state for given parameters of the model (${t=10 \tau}$, ${\phi=\pi/2}$, ${\epsilon=2\tau}$) for different filling, namely the dependence of the Chern number as function of the Fermi energy $E_F$. We have analyzed the dependence of the Chern number for different fillings, integrating Berry curvature over the Fermi surface at given filling. It~is convenient to calculate the Chern number for different values of $E_F$ (see figs~\ref{fig:CH}). The~transition from TI state (shady region at small values of~$E_F$) with the Chern number equal to $-1$ to the topologically trivial metal state (white region) with ${C=0}$ at large values of $E_F$ is realized via an intermediate state named as topological metal state (grey region) with ${0<C<1}$ and one gapless edge chiral mode (see fig~\ref{fig:CH}b). Two shown regions in figs~\ref{fig:CH} (namely shady and grey) are defined by two and one one gapless edge chiral modes, correspondently. The~topological metal phase is observed in the case of trivial insulator for $n\neq 1$ for a wide region of the Fermi energies (a grey region in fig~\ref{fig:CH}a).
In~other words, the topological metal state is characterized by a surface chiral edge current and ${0<C<1}$.

\end{figure}

\section{The Lieb lattice or a line-centered square lattice}

In a traditional tight-binding  model on the Lieb lattice (the Hamiltonian (\ref{eq:H0}) with the nearest-neighbor hopping only) a flat band touches two linearly dispersing bands at the same point, where the linear bands are reminiscent of a Dirac-like point~\cite{A,1}. There are the three bands including a flat band with the dispersion at $\tau =0$
$$E_{\rm flat}(\textbf{k}) =\epsilon,$$ $$ \qquad E_\pm (\textbf{k}) = \epsilon \pm 2 t \sqrt{\cos^2(k_x/2)+\cos^2(k_y/2)},$$ at the $M$ point $E_\pm (\textbf{k}) \simeq |k|$, where $\textbf{k}=(k_x,k_y)$ is the wave vector.
The other two bands ($E_\pm$) describe the cone at the $M$ point when $\tau=0$,
and two parabolic bands separated from the flat band by the gaps
${\Delta_\pm=\epsilon \pm 4 \tau  \sin\phi}$, when $\tau, \epsilon \neq 0$.

\begin{figure*}[tb]
   \centering{\leavevmode}
    \begin{minipage}[h]{0.3\linewidth}\center{\includegraphics[width=\linewidth]{Fig5a.png} \\ (a)}\end{minipage}

    \begin{minipage}[h]{0.45\linewidth}\center{\includegraphics[width=\linewidth]{Fig5e.png} \\ (e)}\end{minipage}
    \caption{
      Dispersion curves $E(k)$ ($k$ is the wave vector along the boundary) and Chern numbers~$C$ of each band of the Lieb lattice finite in $y$-direction for different values of parameters, ${t=10 \tau}$,

      (b)~${\epsilon=2 \tau}$, ${\phi=\pi/6}$,
      (c)~${\epsilon=4 \tau}$, ${\phi=\pi/6}$,
      (d)~${\epsilon=2 \tau}$, ${\phi=\pi/3}$,
      (e)~${\epsilon=6 \tau}$, ${\phi=\pi/3}$.
     Fermi levels for ${n=1/3}$ and ${n=2/3}$ are marked with red dashed lines.
    } \label{fig:dispersion2D}
\end{figure*}

The flat band can be viewed as a critical point. In the case when $\tau$ and $\epsilon$ are  non-zero the flat band is isolated from the dispersing bands, it becomes slightly dispersive (without removing the band crossing point).

We consider the phase state depending on the model's parameters and focus our attention on the 1/3 band filling. The case $n=2/3$ is similar due to particle-hole symmetry.

\begin{figure}[tb]
    \centering{\leavevmode}
    \begin{minipage}[h]{0.8\linewidth}\center{\includegraphics[width=\linewidth]{Fig6a.pdf} \\ (a)}\end{minipage}

       Dashed lines stand for Chern number of each subband, while a solid line is a total.
    } \label{fig:CL}
\end{figure}

The phase transition to insulator phase can be realized at filling ${n=1/3}$ (${n=2/3}$). In~fig.~\ref{fig:MI}b the phase diagram describes the phase transition between metal (or bad metal) and insulator phase states at ${n=1/3}$. The Haldane-like diagram $\Delta_\pm =0 \iff \epsilon= \pm 4 \tau \sin \phi$ separates the phases of topological and trivial insulators for $\pi/4<\phi<\tfrac74\pi$, the Chern number calculated according to~\eref{eq:Chern} in the TI phase is equal to the signum of~$\phi$. The~metal phase is realized only when $-\pi/4<\phi<\pi/4$, a curve $\epsilon=-4 \tau \cos \phi$ separates this phase from the trivial insulator state. The region of metal phase depends on the ration of $t/\tau$ and reduces to a stripe in the infinite $t$-limit; it shrinks with $t/\tau$ decreasing. Most TIs are narrow band gap semiconductors, thus ${\tau/t\ll 1}$ in practical situations. The Haldane-like diagram is defined by the TPT with the Dirac-like one-particle spectrum at the point~$M$. Figs~\ref{fig:dispersion2D} demonstrate the one-particle spectrum of a finite 2D lattice and calculations of the Chern number of the subbands for different points of the phase diagram~Fig.\ref{fig:MI}.
The~one-particle spectrum has gaps in topologically trivial and nontrivial insulator phases and a ``quasiflat'' band touches dispersing band at a Dirac-like point.
The~insulating phase state is defined by the Chern number of each subband of spinless fermions below the Fermi level.
The~sign of the Chern number determines the chirality of the edge modes on the Fermi level.
As~we have mentioned, the middle and upper bands acquire Chern numbers plus and minus one in trivial insulator phase at $n=1/3$, while the lower one has $C=0$. Moreover, the flatness and the Chern number of the middle (``quasiflat'') band $C_{\rm flat}$ depend on the values of $\tau$, $\epsilon$ and $\phi$ and defined as
$$
  C_{\mathrm{flat}} = \left\{
    \begin{array}{ll}
        0, & |\epsilon|< 4 |\tau \sin\phi|, \\
        \operatorname{sgn} (\tau \sin\phi), & |\epsilon|> 4 |\tau \sin\phi|.
    \end{array}
  \right.
$$
In other words, the Haldane-like diagram is also strongly connected with the changing of the flat band's topology.

The edge states are symmetric, when fermions on the boundary interact with fermions along the boundary. We compare the calculations of the Chern number and the number edge modes that cross the Fermi surface for given filling of the system.  Such approach gives possibility to find ``bulk-edge correspondence in metallic phase'' in the model with a flat band. The behavior of the Chern number calculated on the Lieb lattice (figs~\ref{fig:CL}) for different $E_F$ is similar to the case of the honeycomb lattice (figs~\ref{fig:CH}). Calculations of the Chern number for topologically trivial and nontrivial flat bands are shown in figs~\ref{fig:CL}. The phase transition from TI state with $C=-1$ at $E_F=0$ to the trivial metal state is realized via an intermediate topological metal phase.

The calculations of the Chern number in the framework of the Haldane and Lieb models show that the topological metal state is realized as an intermediate state between TI and metal states at doping of system. According to figs~\ref{fig:CH} and figs~\ref{fig:CL}, this topological state is characterized by both ${0<|C|<1}$ and one or two edge mode(s). In~other words, the topological order ${C\neq 0}$ and the chiral edge mode(s) that take place in the metal phase give us possibility to consider this metal state as topological.

\section{Conclusions}

Let us consider the spin variant of the model (\ref{eq:H0}) with different sings of the hopping integrals ${\tau_\sigma =\sigma_z \tau}$~\cite{2}. The system is the sum of two decoupled subsystems of ${\sigma =\uparrow,\downarrow}$ and their Chern numbers $C_\sigma$ are topological indices. Their sum (total Chern number) and the half of their difference (the spin Chern number) define the topological states of such system. A spin current ${J = (\hbar/2e)(J_\uparrow-J_\downarrow)}$ is characterized by a quantized spin Hall conductivity. The edge spin current defines a topological metal state of system, because it is equal to zero in the topologically trivial metal state. The~Chern number in the topological metal state is less than one and nonequal to zero, it defines the topological phase transition from TI state (with ${C=1}$) to the topological metal state (with ${0<C<1}$). The phase transition from the topological metal state to the trivial metal state is realized for ${C\neq 0}$, in this case the jump of the edge charge or spin currents defines the point of topological metal--trivial metal phase transition.

We have show that the topological insulator states in the Lieb lattice are realized at one third and two third band filling when the Fermi level separates narrow (nearly dispersionless) and  neighboring dispersing bands of spinless fermions. The~Chern number of the flat band depends on the parameters of the model, its value is changed at the point of the topological phase transition.

23 Striders battled against the wind at the Headcorn Half which took them on relatively flat course around the quiet country lanes.
First Strider home was Kevin Rye in a time of 1.27.59 placing him 27th overall out of 395 runners. Gary Deacon was 2nd Strider home in a time of 1.32.24 placing him 49th and Nick Baytun was 3rd Strider across the line in 1.33.06, a PB for him placing him in 52nd overall. First female Strider home was Jen Coleman in a time of 1.40.53 placing her 96th overall.
Ronald Smith came first in his age category M70.

SINGAPORE: Passengers' baggage is collected by robots, they relax in a luxurious waiting area complete with an indoor garden before getting a face scan and swiftly passing through security and immigration - this could be the airport of the future.
It's a vision that planners hope will become reality as new technology is rolled out, transforming the exhausting experience of getting stuck in lengthy queues in ageing, overcrowded terminals into something far more pleasant.
The Asia-Pacific has been leading the way but faces fierce competition from the Middle East as major hubs compete to attract the growing number of long-haul travelers who can choose how to route their journey.
The regions "are the two leading pockets of technology growth because they are really competing to be the global hubs for air transportation," Seth Young, director of the Center for Aviation Studies at Ohio State University, told AFP.
"If I'm going to fly from New York to Bangalore, do I transfer through Abu Dhabi or Dubai or do I transfer through Hong Kong? That's a huge, huge market."
Facial scanning in particular is generating a lot of buzz. Changi in the affluent city-state of Singapore, regarded as among the world's best airports, is set to roll out this biometric technology at a new terminal to open later this year.
Australia announced in July an investment of Aus$22.5 million ($17.5 million) to introduce face recognition technology at all the country's international airports, while Dubai Airport is also trialing it.
Robots are appearing at some major hubs, including at Seoul's Incheon airport, where they carry out tasks including cleaning and carrying luggage, while Changi's new terminal will have robotic cleaners complete with butlers' uniforms.
The service, which allows passengers to print and tag their baggage and then send it off on the conveyor belt, is available at airports including Australian hubs, Hong Kong, London Heathrow and Amsterdam's Schiphol.
Airports are also trying to overhaul their image as dreary places that must be endured in order to get from A to B, to somewhere travelers can enjoy spending time.
Changi is building a new terminal complex called Jewel, a 10-storey development filled with shops and restaurants whose centerpiece will be a 40-metre (130-foot) indoor waterfall surrounded by an indoor garden.
"They are looking at retail, non-aeronautical profits," said Shukor Yusof, an aviation analyst from Endau Analytics.
"Europe and the US were the leading aviation markets for the last 75 to 100 years, and it's very difficult to revolutionize your infrastructure when you are on a foundation that is 75 years old," said Young of the Center for Aviation Studies.
He added it was also a matter of "political will", as emerging economies see building cutting-edge airports as a way of raising their status globally.
New York's ageing airports have long been criticized as old-fashioned, cramped and dirty but JFK, the main international hub serving the city, hopes to shed its dire reputation with a proposed $10 billion redevelopment.
Amsterdam's Schiphol is aiming to become the world's leading digital airport by 2019, and has been testing hand luggage scanners that allow passengers to keep liquids and laptops in their bags. It is also looking at biometric technology.
A report from consultancy Roland Berger warned that airport revenues from retail and parking could fall by between two and four billion dollars due to the new innovations.
Automated, more predictable check-in procedures threaten retail outlets as passengers are likely to reduce the "buffer" they build in to trips to the airport, meaning less shopping time, while developments such as ride-hailing apps could undercut parking revenues, it said.
"It's really challenging for airports to launch this digital transformation," he told AFP.

Q: Add basic elements to PreferenceActivity I use PreferenceActivity to create the settings menu. It is necessary to make such structure for one of items. Is it possible to create this inside the PreferenceScreen. Within the "Электронная почта" (email) should contain fields with the text of the email and the text "Изменить электронную почтуl" (Change email).
If you click Change email, a window appears where the user types a new address. Then this address should again appear in the line with the text "Электронная почта" (email).
Is it possible to add a TextView to PreferenceScreen?
    <PreferenceScreen
  xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
      <PreferenceCategory android:title="Настройки">
      <EditTextPreference
