During the Spring, watering is on Mother Nature's tab and she usually provides more than enough rainfall to meet your lawn and garden needs. Best of all ... rain is free!
Summertime - Water wisely ... water early! - Watering in the morning means less water is lost to evaporation. Most people overwater, yet experts say you only need 2.5 cm (1 inch) of water a week, including rainfall, to maintain a vibrant healthy lawn.
Fall - No watering required. Traditionally, the North Bay area receives enough rainfall to meet your lawn and garden needs. Remember, always watch the weather ... rain is free.
Xeriscaping ... a natural, water-efficient garden for a carefree Summer. Xeriscaping (zer-i-skap): a complicated word, but when you break it down to its roots, it all makes sense.


The students and staff of Swaminarayan Vidyamandir, Randesan celebrated Hindi Diwas in the school campus on 26th Sep 2018 to mark the adoption of Hindi written in Devnagari script as the official language of the Republic India on 14 Sep 1949.
The celebration started with Ganesh Vandana by VIII Std students and the welcoming of our esteemed chief guest Dr. Raghuveer Chaudhary, a prolific writer, novelist, poet and critic in Hindi and Gujarati Literature from Gujarat, India by Dr. Neeta Shah. He has also worked as a columnist for numerous newspapers and was a teacher at Gujarat University until retirement in 1998. The most noteworthy thing about him is he has received Gyanpith Puraskar in 2015 by our former President Pranab Mukherjee. A special assembly marked the occasion in which students emphasized the importance of Hindi language by contributing into various activities. The students recited poetry, sang songs and danced to the foot tapping songs.
It all started with lighting the lamp with Siddhantgaan. A special skit was performed by VII Std students who discussed the importance of Hindi language and how due to the influence of English, our national language is losing its popularity. It was followed by recitation of poem 'Udaan' with a theme of 'Soaring high in the sky' by girls of Std VII.
Next was a collaborative dance performed by Std V, VI, VII and VIII on 'Mile Sur Mera Tumhara', which aims at promoting national integration and unity in diversity. Also, our guru Mahant Swami Maharaj always encourages to maintain unity.
The most exciting part of the program was when the students were felicitated with various certificates for performing their duties in the best way and also excelled in various places such as the Science Centre, Science city.
Towards the end of the program, Sh. Raghuveer Chaudhary addressed all the girls as 'Daughters' and said that the school is as heavenly as heaven itself. He quipped "Today I visited for I was invited, but I shall come again, uninvited and shall interact with all of you once again". His words shall be a great motivation for all of us.
It all ended with a sense of pride in our hearts to Hindi as our National Language.


Things quickly turned sour with my darling. Well, not sour exactly, more of comfortable which of course he did not approve. You see I was in love, I would have done anything for this man which is exactly what I was doing. I would go to his house, find his clothes dirty and wash them right away, same with the dishes and the house. Basically I had turned myself into a wife. At the time it was a good idea, he treated me like a queen constantly bragging to his friends about me so why not? I remember wondering how someone so loving could have been single, it was God's miracle I guessed.
The day my wife status began to plummet was when I slowly stopped being his queen. Yes he acknowledged me as his girlfriend but the little things began to stop. No more woman crush Wednesdays or walking me to the stage, the important things you know? He told me not to steal myself and instead wait for him to steal me, it made sense. But I wasn't his wife anymore, I was his girlfriend. It was time for me to act like a girlfriend then, I was released from my duties. But as usual it wasn't what he wanted, the day I didn't wash his clothes I was received with hostility like none I had seen before.
He told me of how much I was an embarrassment to him. His friends and family had told him how lazy I was and I was not the typical 'wife material'. So what had I been doing the past five months of my life? I cooked and cleaned my heart out for you and all of a sudden I am not wife material? God I hated that term! I was devastated, confused and hurt. So I did what I thought was right, I washed his clothes.
I washed his clothes, cleaned his house and cleaned up the dishes. He thanked me and told me not to let it get that far again. I thought it was cruel of him but I was hooked on his every word. I seemed his approval and love and without it, I was nothing.

I recently came across this article from Tatler* magazine which tentatively poses the question, "should you get a mid-nup?" … More Midnuptial Agreements—Yey or Nay?
Leave a comment Midnuptial Agreements—Yey or Nay?


There is beauty to be found underground. There is a deep beauty in the heart of the earth. Dwarves know this. Gnomes know this. Kobold know this.
I expected our journey to take us many places. From the tops of the mountains to the depths of the jungle I expected, but into the earth, into the heart and soul of this world? I never expected our journey to take us there. These caves are not the caves of my forebears, for which I am grateful.
We were traveling through the depth of the Yin Sloth Jungle, but we weren't in the jungle. We were in mines within these jungles. We were in a place well known to me but new at the same time. These tunnels were made by Dwarven hands, or so it seemed to the Dwarf and me.
I mentioned the natural cavern that we had been within previously. After defeating the necromancer, the elf one, a great rumbling signified the opening of a new passageway. We took this into a deep pit. At the bottom of the pit was a truly immense tree. Worse were the fights surrounding this tree. We were victorious, but only at a loss of much or our capability to bring the fight to our enemies. We were worn out, tired, injured, and yet we pushed on for our enemies did not give us respite.
We entered the mines and began our journey further into the depths, ever following the finger of the dead god, following where it pointed.
The age of the mine was betrayed when we fell through a collapsing floor into a sub-level. It was my fault that this fall occurred, but it was fortuitous as it led us more quickly to our destination.
Our destination still eluded us, however, as we were still within these mines of the ancient dwarves. We met more Tezcats, some assorted dead walking, and a small band of orcs. This only affirmed to me that I am on the right side of this conflict if I could once again be on the opposite side to that of those races who "should" be my compatriots.
I wondered sometimes at the lack of concern that others in my group displayed for each other in times of stress. They seemed to devolve into their base natures, focusing on what glories that they personally could achieve more than the glory that the group could acquire. It is almost as if they were more concerned over who was seen as the most important over each leg of the journey than with achieving our goal of collecting the pieces of Osiris.
Far better would it have been if our members were less concerned over the appearance of their actions and more concerned with completing our journey alive.
Now that my journeys with CrIsis are complete, I feel confident in relating that we were fools to rely upon the power of the dead god so heavily. Heading into the lair of a necromancer, a being who would gain immense power should he acquire even one more, we carried no less than three pieces of that god.
This seems to have been a common occurrence with the dwarf, no doubt stemming from his mistaken apprehension that individuals in the group considered him a coward. Individuals who carried with them a piece of the god that gave them more than human abilities called him thus.
I admit that for a short time I allowed that same avarice that clouded the judgement of my fellows to cloud my own and took up the Right Hand of Osiris.
Before this moment of wakefulness, I did, for the first time in over ten years, use my ability to conceal an area to give us a moment of respite to prepare, however poorly, for the coming battle with the necromancer.
Which was where our dwarf died the second time. The necromancer had gathered an army to fight us, an army that we systematically tore to pieces. During this time the dwarf stayed within support range of his fellows. He was not bullheaded like our tall friend who went charging in at every opportunity that presented itself. But the moment that the enemy cloaked himself in darkness he went charging in as if we were questioning his dwarfness.
He only proves his cowardice when he takes the easy route to death, not his bravery.
And death it was that met him in that darkness. Our priest called down a miraculous ability that allowed him to dispel the greater number of the abilities of the enemy, an ability which he later used to dispel the darkness which was the end of our dwarf, but for reasons only known to Indaris this was something he only did after the demise of the dwarf.
It was a true death this time. My years on the road brought me to an understanding of when someone is beyond the ability to save, and the dwarf had suffered eponymous damage.
The gods were with us and I praise Ra that was the case. The mangled body of the dwarf knit itself back together before our eyes as the priest prayed. I had never before witnessed what I would consider a miracle, but that day, in that moment, that is truly what I witnessed.
This account covers events from the 12th day of the fourth month of Asher's 99th year through the 12th day of the fourth month of the same year.

What is the goal of life? Absorbed, as we are, in the pursuit of the shadow-shapes of wealth, pleasure and power, we do not pause to ask ourselves the question: "What is the goal of life?" The goal cannot be wealth or possessions, pleasure or power, for we leave all these things behind, the moment we drop the body. What, then, is our life's goal? The Goal is God!
Yes. All that is asked of us is to let go of ourselves—our petty selves of desire and passion and pride, and to let God in. For He is our True Self, our Real Self, the Self of our self.
All the time, while we are attending to our daily work, let our heart be fixed on the True Self within us, on God!
Even as the ship moves hither and thither, the needle of the ship's compass is ever turned northward. Just like that let the ship of the body move hither and thither, attend to its multifarious duties, but let the needle of the heart's compass be ever directed towards God.
This will happen through practice. Everything that we do, let it be done for the love of God. "For Thy sake, O Lord!" let this be the one mantra of our life.
Wondrous beyond words is the teaching of the Lord [Krishna] in the Gita: "O Arjuna! Whatever you eat, whatever you give in charity, whatever austerity [tapasya] you practise, whatever you do, do it all as an offering unto Me!" This is true yoga.
Yoga does not consist in flying through the air, or walking over the waters, or drinking poison or eating pieces of glass, or materialising things out of thin air. Yoga is living in the midst of the world's temptations, but being ever united with God.

Birmingham is a city of stark contrasts with a rich cultural and historical heritage. Playing a key role in the industrial revolution, it helped shape the nation's manufacturing industry
But with its many green spaces, Birmingham also borders on the beautiful countryside of Worcestershire and Warwickshire, is just a few miles from Stratford on Avon and a short drive from the wild country of mid-Wales.
Birmingham's population is large and ethnically diverse, and while urban regeneration has forged a modern and culturally vibrant city, the decaying remnants of the industrial past and 1960s concrete jungle give it a unique and gritty character; the dark underbelly policed by DI Tom Mariner and his team.
Detective Inspector Tom Mariner is, on the surface, an average dedicated policeman, but his experiences as a younger man have given him an insight into life on the dark side, and a clear sense of right and wrong. Mariner has little interest in material things. He lives in a modest canal-side cottage, enjoys the occasional (real) beer and game of dominoes and drives an old car. He is most at home in the outdoors, with an OS map and a compass, and in times of crisis, will take off and walk for miles in any weather.
Police Constable Tony Knox has recently transferred to the West Midlands force and finds himself back in uniform following an undisclosed transgression. A scouser with the gift of the gab, and an irrepressible ladies' man, Knox is initially wary of the inscrutable DI Mariner, but, when a need arises, is grateful for his unquestioning support and the lack of curiosity about his personal life.

Febrile Seizures: Causes, Symptoms, and Treatments
hug (2) like (2) comment
Evelyn O. Berman, M.D.
Ryan Chiu, M.D.
A high fever can be scary, especially in young children. If a child is experiencing a seizure in addition to that fever, the situation can be even more frightening. If your child develops a seizure during a fever — or shortly before it starts — it may be a febrile seizure (or febrile convulsion).
These types of seizures are very common — in fact, they are the most common seizures in children, even those without health problems — and fortunately, they are almost always completely harmless in the long run. It can be helpful to know the signs of febrile seizure, why the vast majority are not dangerous, and what to do when your child has one.
Symptoms of Febrile Seizures
Febrile seizures generally happen when a young person has a high fever of above 100.4 degrees Fahrenheit — often on the first day and in the first hours of fever. These seizures also can happen immediately before the onset of fever. For younger children, a febrile seizure may be the very first sign that the child is ill.
During the seizure, the child will most likely have convulsions: a loss of consciousness with shaking of the arms and legs on both sides of the body. Sometimes, the child might lose consciousness but not exhibit any of these movements. Less common symptoms include eye-rolling and stiffness of the arms and legs.
Risk Factors for Febrile Seizures
Risk factors for these types of seizures include age, family history, and anything that causes a fever.
Children between 6 months and 5 years of age are at increased risk of febrile seizures, even when they are otherwise healthy.
Anything That Causes a Fever
"Febrile" means "marked or caused by a fever." As the name implies, febrile seizures happen while the child has a fever or is about to have one. It therefore makes sense that anything that can cause a fever may provoke a febrile seizure. Importantly, the fever and not the underlying infection is the cause of seizure.
Common infections are often the cause of a fever. Common childhood illnesses include the common cold, the flu, or ear infections. Viral infections such as roseola are more often the culprit, but bacterial infections such as pneumonia or meningitis (infection of the tissues surrounding the brain) can also cause high fevers.
Illnesses that are preventable with vaccination can also result in fevers that provoke febrile seizures — these include diseases such as measles, mumps, and rubella.
Researchers believe there may be genetic involvement in febrile seizures. Children with parents who have their own history of febrile seizures may be more likely to have them.
Are Febrile Seizures Dangerous?
Nearly all febrile seizures are completely harmless to children in the long term and do not lead to the development of any sort of seizure disorder (such as epilepsy). Most children who have a febrile seizure for the first time do not have any more in the future.
About 4 out of 10 children who have a febrile seizure for the first time will have a recurrent febrile seizure, but they will most likely completely outgrow them.
Simple vs. Complex Febrile Seizures
There are two main types of febrile seizures: simple (or "typical") and complex.
Typical febrile seizures carry no increased risk of brain damage or epilepsy at all, especially after the cause of the fever is addressed. These seizures will usually last no more than 15 minutes, with no more than one seizure in a single 24-hour period. Simple seizures also affect both sides of the body.
Febrile seizures are complex, or atypical, if they last longer than 15 minutes, occur more than once in a 24-hour period, or affect just one side of the body. However, children almost always outgrow these types of seizures, and they carry only a slightly higher risk of developing epilepsy.
Anti-fever drugs like ibuprofen or Tylenol (acetaminophen) can be used to resolve the fever, but they neither prevent febrile seizures nor lower the risk of them happening again.
Anti-seizure medications, which are normally used to prevent seizures for people living with epilepsy, usually are not used to treat children with febrile seizures. Febrile seizures are usually harmless, and these medications carry a risk of side effects.
What To Do if Your Child Has a Febrile Seizure
About 40 percent of children who have their first febrile seizure will have a second one sometime before they turn 6. The risk of having a second febrile seizure increases to 50 percent for children who have their first seizure before the age of 1. However, nearly all children will eventually outgrow their febrile seizures.
Here's a brief summary of what to do should your child have a febrile seizure:
Remain calm.
Lay the child on their side or stomach. This will prevent them from choking on any food that may be in their mouth.
Do not put anything into a child's mouth during a seizure — even medications, as this could cause them to bite their tongue.
Make sure to clear out any objects near your child, to prevent injury.
Call 911 or emergency services if the seizure lasts longer than five minutes, if your child has notable breathing difficulties or color changes, or if they do not seem to quickly recover after the seizure.
Schedule a follow-up appointment with your child's pediatrician to discuss what happened.
Are Febrile Seizures a Sign of Epilepsy?
Having a febrile seizure does not mean your child has epilepsy. Epilepsy is diagnosed when a person has recurrent seizures that are unprovoked. A febrile seizure is an example of a provoked seizure: Something happens to the brain (in this case a fever, perhaps from another infection) that then causes the seizure. Unprovoked seizures have no identifiable immediate cause.
However, you should always seek medical advice and get the opinion of your health care team if your child ever experiences a febrile seizure. In some cases, they may need to run additional tests to understand the cause of the fever and identify any serious infection that provoked the seizure itself. An example is meningitis, which may require brain monitoring (an electroencephalography or EEG) or a lumbar puncture (spinal tap).

The Essence of Public Relations in a Digital World
Home » PR Fuel » The Essence of Public Relations in a Digital World
It's safe to say that PR has adapted to the digital world safe and sound. Some industries, like buggy whip crafting, just don't translate to new technologies and fall to the wayside eventually, but PR has managed to survive the transition. While some things like press releases are in danger of eventually falling away, the industry as a whole is fine.
But a question then pops up: how much of the essence of public relations has survived? Is it still the same thing that appeared so many years ago in the wake of a train crash, or is it something completely brand new? Surprisingly, the answer is a little bit of yes and no.
It's fairly common knowledge, especially among PR pros, that modern PR started in the early 1900s when Ivy Lee sent out press releases to papers to control the talk around the 1906 Atlantic City train wreck. Later, the "father of PR," Edward Bernays, refined and perfected most of the tactics we all use today.
Back in the days of Lee and Bernays, public relations was a way to figure out how to successfully use consumers' brains against them. For example, Bernays is the reason we associate bacon and eggs with the "all-American breakfast." Why? He was working for bacon companies and came up with the idea to use doctor and physician "advice" to convince people to eat those items.
Another example was with his client Lucky Strikes. Bernays organized an Easter parade and had models hold up lit Lucky Strikes – but they weren't cigarettes, they were "Torches of Freedom." How could you not buy them, especially if you were a woman who had previously been told you shouldn't smoke?
It's no surprise that Bernays' uncle was none other than Sigmund Freud. Both of these legendary figures understood that people subconsciously reacted to situations in a certain way. As a result, though, PR got the reputation of being "manipulative." Which, at least in those days, wasn't far from the truth.
Today's World
Along came computers. Information was suddenly everywhere. If someone wanted info on a train crash, they just used a search engine and found several news items on it. Now they just go on Twitter and it's likely trending. Information is everywhere.
So "manipulating" people like in the days of Bernays and Lee is far more difficult. If BP had tried to game information about the big oil spill so many years ago it wouldn't have worked. There are just too many eyes and ears around. In any case, PR has moved on from that, and the computer has just amplified this.
I feel like PR is finally becoming what the name always implied – putting the "public" in "public relations," so to speak. The industry now is really about connecting with people. Customers don't want to feel like they're being marketed to all the time. They want their favorite brands to feel like a place where they know someone – someone who will talk to them, understand their problems, and have their best interest at heart.
At the same time, companies are always looking for new ways to drive sales. In the end that's why PR exists; without money coming in, there's no business to attend to. So in that sense PR has remained the same – control the conversation, and bring more customers in for more sales.
How much do you think PR has changed over the years?

Ewgen (Geno) Gwaladse (; * 13. Mai 1900 in Sweri bei Tschiatura, Gouvernement Tiflis, Russisches Kaiserreich; † 15. Oktober 1937 in Tiflis) war ein georgischer Widerstandskämpfer. Der Sozialdemokrat war Anführer des illegalen georgischen Arms der Emigrantenorganisation Tetri Giorgi (dt. Weißer Georg) und nahm am August-Aufstand in Georgien 1924 teil.

Leben

Er wurde als Sohn eines pensionierten Offiziers der russischen Kavallerie geboren. Bereits als Schüler veröffentlichte er 1916 politische Artikel in Zeitschriften. 1917 trat er in die menschewistische Sozialdemokratische Partei Georgiens ein. 1920 legte er in Tiflis das Abitur am Gymnasium ab.

Im gleichen Jahr wurde er Offizier in der neu gegründeten Armee der Demokratischen Republik Georgien. Im Februar 1921 kämpfte er im Kodschori-Tal und in Tabachmela gegen die Invasion der 11. Armee der Roten Arbeiter- und Bauernarmee (RABA), Ende März gegen den Vormarsch der Türkei auf Batumi.

Nach der Auflösung der georgischen Armee nahm ein Studium der Rechtswissenschaft an der Staatlichen Universität Tiflis auf, das er 1926 abschloss. Er wurde Rechtsanwalt und Vorstandsmitglied der Vereinigung der Strafverteidiger. Von 1935 bis 1937 hielt er Vorlesungen am Pädagogischen Institut in Gori.

Ab 1921 beteiligte er sich an den Aktivitäten der im Untergrund arbeitenden georgischen Befreiungsbewegung. Am 26. Mai 1922 war er mit Konstantine Gamsachurdia einer der Organisatoren der ersten großen anti-sowjetischen Demonstration in Tiflis. Er wurde von der Tscheka verhaftet, im Juli wieder freigelassen. Von 1922 bis 1924 war er der Repräsentant des überparteilichen Komitees für die Wiederherstellung der Unabhängigkeit Georgiens (georgisch Sakartvelos Damoukideblobis Komiteti – Damkom) in der Region Kachetien. An dem vom Komitee organisierten August-Aufstand in Georgien nahm er aktiv teil. Am 30. August 1924 wurde er erneut von der Tscheka verhaftet, erst im März 1925 entlassen.

1926 wurde er zum Anführer des illegalen georgischen Arms der Emigrantenorganisation Tetri Giorgi (dt. Weißer Georg). Im August 1937 wurde er gemeinsam mit anderen Mitgliedern von Tetri Giorgi zum dritten Mal von der sowjetischen Geheimpolizei verhaftet. Er wurde wegen anti-sowjetischer Aktivitäten zum Tode verurteilt und am 15. Oktober in Tiflis erschossen.

NOTE: Data through 1990-91 are for institutions of higher education, while later data are for degree-granting institutions. Degree-granting institutions grant associate's or higher degrees and participate in Title IV federal financial aid programs. The degree-granting classification is very similar to the earlier higher education classification, but it includes more 2-year colleges and excludes a few higher education institutions that did not grant degrees. (See Appendix A: Guide to Sources for details.) The new Classification of Instructional Programs was initiated in 2009-10. The figures for earlier years have been reclassified when necessary to make them conform to the new taxonomy. To facilitate trend comparisons, certain aggregations have been made of the degree fields as reported in the IPEDS "Completions Survey": "Agriculture and natural resources" includes Agriculture, agriculture operations, and related sciences and Natural resources and conservation; "Business" includes Business, management, marketing, and related support services and Personal and culinary services; and "Engineering technologies" includes Engineering technologies and engineering-related fields, Construction trades, and Mechanic and repair technologies/technicians.


Listed below are a number of the key enhancements that have been added to axis diplomat and axis payroll.
A complete suite of updates has now been released to allow axis diplomat users to manage and submit their VAT Returns after Making Tax Digital ("MTD") for VAT is introduced in April of this year.
In addition to a new MTD VAT Returns function to handle the actual submission process, other new functions include a VAT Transaction Monitor and new adjustment functions. These have all been grouped into a single VAT menu.
It is now possible to link a CRM Call to a Customer Return.
This is ideal when using the CRM capability of axis diplomat to manage queries and issues within the Customer Services department, where the events on the CRM Call can provide everyone with access to the full history of the issue.
Both Purchase Order Invoice Booking and Purchase Order Credit Note Booking have been extended to allow the Supplier's Account Classification to be overridden. This only affects the current document although the setting will be remembered if the next document in the session relates to the same supplier.
When changing a Supplier's classification to EC Member State, you also have the ability to set the EC Country Code and VAT Registration Number at the same time.
This is useful, for example, when suppliers have a number of VAT Registrations and may ship goods from a variety of locations. Using multiple supplier accounts is not always practical in these situations as it may not be known, when the purchase order is raised, from which country the goods will be shipped.
Custom Monitor Tabs showing Stock Transactions now include an additional column showing the Bin.

Q: What is global Lorentz transformation and what is local Lorentz transformation? I will consider $\textbf{spacetime}$  as $(M,\eta)$ where $M$ is a four dimensional $\textbf{manifold}$ and $\eta$ the metric which in this coordinates
 $$
\begin{align*}
  x \colon M &\longrightarrow \mathbb{R}^4\\
  p &\mapsto x(p)=(x_0,x_1,x_2,x_3).
\end{align*}
$$
 is given by
$$\eta=dx^0\otimes dx^0-dx^1\otimes dx^2-dx^2\otimes dx^1-dx^3\otimes dx^3 \tag1$$
An $\textbf{observer}$ is a worldline $\gamma$ with together with a choice of basis
$
O=v_{\gamma,\gamma(\lambda)} \equiv e_0(\lambda) , e_1(\lambda), e_2(\lambda), e_3(\lambda)
$
of each $T_{\gamma(\lambda)}M$ where the observer worldline passes, if
$$
\eta(e_a(\lambda), e_b(\lambda)) = \eta_{ab} = \left[ \begin{matrix} 1 & & & \\ & -1 & & \\ & & -1 & \\ & & & -1 \end{matrix} \right]_{ab} \tag2
$$
$v_{\gamma,\gamma(\lambda)}$  is the tangent vector of the the curve $\gamma$ at the point $\gamma(\lambda)$
In text books i've found three definition of $\textbf{Lorentz transformation} \quad \Lambda$

*

*$\Lambda \colon \mathbb{R}^4 \longrightarrow \mathbb{R}^4$ is a group of coordinate transformations that leave eq.1 in the same form ,that is $\Lambda \cdot x(p)=y(p)=(y_0,y_1,y_2,y_3)$ such that in this coordinate  $$\eta=dy^0\otimes dy^0-dy^1\otimes dy^2-dy^2\otimes dy^1-dy^3\otimes dy^3 $$

*$\Lambda \colon M \longrightarrow M$ a Spacetime diffeomorphism such that $\Lambda_* \eta=\eta$ where $\Lambda_* \eta$ is the pullback of the metric $\eta$

*$\Lambda \colon T_pM \longrightarrow T_pM$ such that $\Lambda O=O'=e'_0(\lambda) , e'_1(\lambda), e'_2(\lambda), e'_3(\lambda)$ satisfy the eq.2 that is
$$
\eta(e'_a(\lambda), e'_b(\lambda)) = \eta_{ab} = \left[ \begin{matrix} 1 & & & \\ & -1 & & \\ & & -1 & \\ & & & -1 \end{matrix} \right]_{ab}
$$
My question is which is of these transformation is global Lorentz transformation and which is local?

A: The three definitions are the same. They are ways of saying the same thing. Since you have a manifold $(M,\eta)$ this is a flat, Minkowski, spacetime. The Lorentz transformation is global on Minkowski spacetime.
In a curved spacetime the metric is usually denoted $g$, rather than $\eta$. $g$ is, in general, a function of time and position. At each point there is a Minkowski tangent space, meaning that the manifold is locally Minkowski (to the accuracy of measurement) and that local Lorentz transformations can be applied within a neighbourhood of each point.

A: The basic definition of the Lorentz transformation is, given a vector space $V$ equipped with a Minkowski metric $\eta$, it is the group that leaves the norm invariant (in other words, definition 1).
In a spacetime, every tangent space can be considered as a copy of Minkowski space, ie for every $p \in M$, $T_p M \cong V$, since by Sylvester's law, we can always put the metric tensor $g_p$ at that point in the appropriate form by a change of basis (that basis being an orthonormal basis $\{ e_\mu \}$). Then at each point, you can perform a Lorentz transform of that basis.
Diffeomorphisms on a manifold are a rather large class, but there exists a subset of diffeomorphisms such that, if $\phi \in \mathrm{Diff}(M)$, the pushforward on a vector  at $p$, $\phi^* v$, corresponds to a Lorentz transform. Just by having say
\begin{equation}
\frac{\partial x^\mu(p)}{\partial y^\nu(p)} \in \mathrm{SO}(3,1)
\end{equation}
Locally, in the Riemann/Fermi coordinates, this is roughly equivalent to a Lorentz transform, since the normal neighbourhood is diffeomorphic to $T_pM$.

Farm debt shows little decline, but incomes rise by 12% per annum: Survey
By Sanjeeb Mukherjee | New Delhi | Last Updated at August 17 2018 00:05 IST
Representative Image
Almost 53 per cent of agricultural households in India is under debt, a number which has not gone down by much between 2012-13 and 2015-16, a survey by the National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development (Nabard), compared with the last Situational Assessment Survey of NSSO, showed, though the quantum of average loan per household rose by almost 122 per cent during the same period.
The Nabard survey released on Thursday also showed that the average income of Indian farmers grew at a compound rate of 12 per cent per annum between 2012-13 and 2015-16.
This, if accurate, is more than the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) in income as estimated by a high-powered government panel on doubling income by 2022.

The Nabard survey showed that during 2015-16, the income of farmers in 19 out of the 29 states was above the all-India average and 15 states recorded an annual compound growth rate of above 10.5 per cent between 2012-13 and 2015-16.
"In agricultural households, cultivation contributed to 34 per cent of the income, while in non-agricultural households, wages contributed the bulk 54 per cent of the incomes," the survey said.
The Nabard survey was done in association with the Academy of Management Studies between July 1, 2015, and June 30, 2016, covering 29 states that included 40,327 households and a population of 187,518.

The Nabard survey showed that in 2015-16, Telangana showed the highest incidence of indebtedness (79 per cent), followed by Andhra Pradesh (77 per cent), and Karnataka (74 per cent). The National Sample Survey Office survey of 2012-13, too, had found the highest incidence of indebtedness in Andhra Pradesh, followed by Telangana, Tamil Nadu, and Assam.
"Under the Nabard Financial Inclusion Survey, a household was considered indebted if it had any outstanding loan on the date of the survey. The households that confirmed the presence of any outstanding loan on that specific date was considered indebted," the survey said.
Around 43 per cent of non-agricultural households were reportedly indebted at the time of the survey, taking the total rural households that reported an incidence of indebtedness to 47.4 per cent.
Around 60.4 per cent of the households, according to the Nabard survey, had borrowed money exclusively from institutional sources, while 30.3 per cent borrowed only from non-institutional sources, and 9.2 per cent of agricultural households borrowed from both.

The survey also found that around 88 per cent of rural households and 55 per cent of agricultural households had a bank account and the average savings per annum per household was Rs 17,488.
About 26 per cent of agricultural households and 25 per cent of non-agricultural households were covered under insurance, but the penetration of crop insurance and insurance for livestock was less than 8 per cent.
Similarly, 20.1 per cent agricultural households, against 18.9 per cent non-agricultural households, have subscribed to pension schemes.

There are a lot of portraits and sculptures of famous faces, such as George Washington and the seven Ohioans who became U.S. presidents. In most of these images, there's a notable element missing – women. This generation's Ohio Supreme Court justices are in the midst of changing that.
"There does seem to be a level of confidence in our ability to do the job – and do the job well – to do it with a sense of compassion, but also just recognizing being true to what the law means to all people in all walks of life," said Justice Melody Stewart, who in 2018 was the first African-American woman elected to the Court.
In total, only 12 of the 161 justices have been women. In the last 30 years, more females have served the state's high court than males. That shift coincides with a significant social recognition of women. Since Congress passed a public law in 1987, March has been designated as Women's History Month.
Along with the maternal encouragement they received, the current ladies of the Court also had cultural motivators. They included the four women justices of the U.S. Supreme Court – Sandra Day O'Connor, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Sonia Sotomayor, and Elena Kagan – as well as social inspirations like Rosa Parks, Eleanor Roosevelt, and Anne Frank. For Justice French, it was her boss, Betty Montgomery – Ohio's first female attorney general.
"She was a champion for me, and I think that's really important for young women to understand, too, is really the difference. We all will have mentors, men and women that guide us on a daily basis. People that we can emulate," Justice French said.
Since 2003, then-justice Maureen O'Connor started a similar legacy. She was part of the first woman-majority bench for the state's court of last resort, then became the first female to lead it as chief justice in 2010.
"One of the values of that, that I see, is as a role model, for both young men and young women. You know when they say, 'You're such a role model for women,' I hope to say that, 'I'm a role model for men, too,'" said Chief Justice O'Connor.
Having been part of a judiciary evolution in their professional lives, all the justices think that gender shouldn't be relevant. The focus should be on the message, not the messenger.
"When you take the qualifier out of the equation, and be recognized for your talent, and your dedication, and hopefully your vision, I think that that's where we want to be," said Chief Justice O'Connor.

Aquita shares her story: When Lucas and I first met he didn't speak English and I didn't speak Spanish. We learned to communicate with each other within about six months. On our first date we went to dinner and smiled the whole entire time as that's all we could do. As time went on we started using the translation service app and finally learned communicate. Eventually we started speaking to each other in the other's language. I taught him English and he taught me Spanish. We were able to communicate to express our feelings about each other. We grew together in love and language. We were married after being a couple for nearly four years. We are approaching our second anniversary this year.
We had so many people against us being together and married solely because we are not the same race. However, spite all the opposition and even an attempt to ruin our wedding day we were blissfully married. I still get misty eyed when I think about the ignorant people who tried to sabotage our wedding day, but I strongly believe that God was there to protect us. I am so thankful to have my husband in my life and even more thankful we loved each other enough to not let anyone separate us. My husband is Mexican and I am African-American and Blackfoot Indian. We are the owners of a professional domestic services company and childcare center. In addition, Lucas works in landscaping.
The people who were mainly against us were from Lucas' culture. My family supported us with no issues. My father did not particularly care for people in general, especially when it came to courting but he adored Lucas. My father said the look in my husband's eyes told him Lucas indeed loved me. My mother loves him too. Basically my entire family welcomed Lucas with open arms. His family in Mexico excepted me. The ones here and some former friends, forget it. It is sad that even in this day and age people still have a hard time excepting interracial relationships. Their problem, not ours!
I think it is beautiful to see so many interracial couples united. How beautiful it is to love no matter where you from or your race. How beautiful it is to see all races love each other. I always believed that God made us all equally to love each other that is why there are so many cultures.

Virtually Shameless
Eugene's No Shame Theatre remotely celebrates 11 years, broadcasting on Facebook Live
Theater by Frankie KernerPosted on 06/04/2020
Rule No. 1: All works must be original. No. 2: No breaking anything, including the law. No. 3: Go over five minutes and the lights go out.
These are the only three rules of No Shame Theatre. A platform for live creative expression, No Shame's foundation is built on improv and originality. The Eugene chapter typically has shows in the Atrium downtown on the first Friday each month, with up to 15 performers on a first-come first-serve basis. On Friday, June 5, No Shame will host its 11th anniversary show.
Its shows are looking a bit different right now, due to the pandemic. For the past two months, No Shame Eugene has been hosted on Facebook Live by one of the group's organizers, Denise-Christine. The transition from in-person to virtual was not easy.
Something that makes No Shame special is the interaction with a live audience. Unfortunately, with social distancing, that can't exist in the same way right now. The first show hosted online had a mix of past videos (chosen from No Shame's Facebook archive of more than 1,500 performance videos) along with a few live performances — original songs about COVID-19 and stand-up routines.
The transition was not necessarily a smooth one.
Denise-Christine took it upon herself to figure out the world of Zoom and Facebook Live. It was a week before the first Friday in April and she began reaching out to frequent No Shame performers, trying to put together a virtual show.
On April 3, it was showtime. Denise-Christine says none of her friends could find the live stream at first. "Eventually I said, 'I'm just going to put this show on like somebody is watching,'" she says. "So I hosted the entire hour-long show with no idea if anybody could actually see it."
The five performers also had no idea. Denise-Christine says that after she ended the show and logged off, she sat "literally on the verge of tears, because I thought I had done this whole thing for nothing."
Then she started getting texts pouring in from friends saying they had loved the show. It turned out that not only had the live stream worked, but it had 268 views — basically a packed theater.
"I feel like that captured the essence of No Shame," Denise-Christine says. "You have to bring what you have, and you have to trust that the audience will show up and appreciate what you're doing."
J.C. Geiger says the audience is one of the best parts of No Shame. He's been an integral part of the Eugene chapter since its inception in 2012.
Geiger went to the University of Iowa, where No Shame Theatre was born. Back then, it had a very late-night, no-holds-barred feel, with college kids producing the show. He performed only a few times, but he says it left a lasting mark on him.
Years later in Eugene, he heard of a few people trying to start a local chapter. He was immediately hooked. One of the key components of No Shame is that it's free, Geiger says. "We collectively saw a need for a place where people could share original work, and we didn't want there to be any barrier to access. We never wanted to charge any money, we never wanted to get paid, and we just wanted to have the lowest barrier to entry possible for anyone who wanted to share their original work."
No Shame's motto is "dare to fail," encouraging performers to take risks without worry of stumbling over words or forgetting their performance altogether. One rule applies to the audience: No booing. Since 1986, No Shame Theatre has spread throughout the U.S., bringing short-format performances to dozens of cities. The five-minute works can vary from comedy sketches to monologues, original music to poetry readings. As long as the performer follows the three rules, anything goes.
No Shame Eugene's virtual 11th anniversary show is 7:30 pm Friday, June 5, at Facebook.com/NoShameEugene.

13th century picture map of Heddon on the Wall.
Recently this copy of a 13th century picture map of Heddon on the Wall came to light. The whereabouts of the original painting from which it was taken is not known and neither is the artist. Unusual for maps of this period it shows an aerial view of the village looking north.
'Thwertonerdyke' was the old name for Hadrian's Wall.
I have labelled some of the features, although we can't be certain if these are completely correct. Although no photographs have survived from this period, incredibly we have the three below taken by the Venerable Bede on a visit to 'Ad Murum' around 700 AD. Athough a few hundred years earlier, these should still give a good idea of the likely scenery, little changed from Saxon times.
What else might there be to find in the extensive archives of Heddon Local History Society?
