Ride Service Renewed for Seniors and Disabled
By ERIC RIMBERT
AGOURA HILLS —
Contracts for continued transit services for senior citizens and people with disabilities have been renewed by the Los Angeles County Department of Public Works for residents of the department's 3rd District.
The paratransit program is financed by a Proposition A measure passed in 1980. The half-cent sales tax has been collected since 1982.
Eligibility rules vary depending on a person's place of residence, but the service is mainly for those who live in unincorporated areas around Agoura Hills, transit manager Robin Phillips said.
The curb-to-curb service is available only on weekdays.
The service also has been extended to Rancho Los Amigos Medical Center and Topanga Canyon.
For details about eligibility, call the Department of Public Works at (626) 458-3968.

The first thing you notice about the Kehlsteinhaus, or 'Eagle's Nest' is the approach road that climbs 800 metres up the side of a mountain, without the need for hairpin bends.
An engineering marvel, the road contains five tunnels in its 6.5 kilometres. It was built in 1937, as part of the Eagle's Nest – a 50th birthday present for Adolf Hitler.
The Kehlsteinhaus is situated on a ridge atop a 1,834 metre mountain above the town of Berchtesgaden, in south-eastern Germany.
It is one of the busiest tourist attractions in Bavaria and, each year, it is visited by huge numbers of people from around the globe.
The location of the Eagle's Nest – high in the Alps – is regarded as one of the most striking and picturesque in Germany.
The intention was that the Eagle's Nest would be a diplomatic reception house and quiet mountain retreat for Hitler, but he paid only a handful of visits to the summit.
The Nazi leader apparently had both a fear of heights and was concerned that the elevator to the summit might be hit by lightning.
We arrived the day after a snowstorm, amid a lot of low cloud.
To reach the Kehisteinhaus, you first need to catch a bus from Obersalzberg on the mountain's lower reaches, then walk through a 126 metre tunnel into the mountain.
Finally, you catch a remarkable elevator that rises about 124 metres to the peak.
The interior of the elevator is made of polished brass and circular Venetian mirrors to look bigger than it is, as Hitler, apparently, had claustrophobia.
Photographs are banned in the elevator, but can be taken as it arrives and the doors open.
These days, the Eagle's Nest is a restaurant and beer house, but one particular item of interest is a grand fireplace made of expensive reddish Carrara marble.
A sign says the fireplace was a birthday gift to Hitler from Italian dictator, Benito Mussolini.
It is damaged at one end, allegedly by Allied soldiers who are blamed for chipping off pieces of the marble for mementos.
Although the beer was good and the Kehisteinhaus has great historical significance, we were particularly impressed with the Document Centre, which is located further down the mountain near where Hitler had his alpine mansion.
Information at the centre showed that, although bombing the Eagle's Nest itself was not a high priority for the Allies, the presence of Hitler and many of his senior officials made the Berchestgaden a key target – and the residents suffered severely.
In the last weeks of the war, in particular, there was a massive bombing attack on the Berghof and Obersalzberg.
Berchtesgaden is good for the soul.
This picture-postcard region, set amid the Bavarian Alps, in south-eastern Germany, is quiet, historic and scenic.
In the late afternoon, about the only sounds from the quaint villages are faint traces of Bavarian music,the pearling of church bells and the trickle of running streams.
The people are particularly welcoming, considering the World War II devastation suffered by the Berchtesgaden only a generation or so ago.
We wandered to beer halls unannounced to sample the local product – and were accepted warmly.
A highlight of Berchtesgaden is the emerald-coloured Lake Konigssee, which a spectacular fjord set in the Bavarian Alps.
The eight- kilometre long lake nestles between mighty Alps from which tumble spectacular waterfalls.
Partway along the Konigssee sits one of the world's most-photographed structures, the chapel of St Bartholoma, which has been the site of a church since 1134.
The red-domed chapel, as it currently exists, was built in the 17th Century.
Until the start of the 19th Century, it was the summer seat for the Prince Abbott's of Berchtesgaden.
Later, the Bavarian kings designated it as their hunting castle.
We've always wanted to visit the Konigssee; hear its famous echo-chamber between the Alps; and photograph St Bartholoma.
So, it was a special treat to be taken on an electric boat cruise, where we marvelled at the clear waters, up to 150 metres deep on average.
We also found the view of the church – set against the backdrop of snow-tipped alps – to be as beautiful as anticipated.
As the boat glided across the water between massive cliff faces, its captain paused to play a note on a type of trumpet.
The sound hit the nearest cliff, known as Echowand and then bounced around the lake like a gunshot. Back in the day, boats apparently did fire a pistol, which echoed up to seven times around the mountains.
On top of one of the Alps at 1843 metres, is the Kehlsteinhaus – or Eagle's Nest – which was Adolf Hitler's diplomatic house.
But that's another story and another destination for us to explore.
German engineering has produced some great cars. The Trabant certainly wasn't one of them.
Yet, 26 years after the last East German people's car was made, history has indeed been kind to the Trabi.
Despite being regarded as a symbol of the defunct East Germany and the collapse of the Eastern Bloc in general, the Trabi ironically, has been resurrected as a tourist attraction.
During our last visit to Berlin, we found a parking lot full of the small, two-door vehicles just a few blocks from our hotel at Checkpoint Charlie.
It was 'Trabi World', one of several such businesses where you can pay to drive your own Trabant around the vibrant German capital.
We weren't tempted to get behind the wheel, but we still wandered in to take a close look at what Time Magazine once described as "the car that gave Communism a bad name".
We'd heard how the Trabant was made of duroplast, a fibreglass-like material similar to Bakelite; lacked brake lights and turn signals; was slow, noisy and uncomfortable; and belched black smoke from its two-cylinder, 26-horse power engine.
Like your average lawn mower, the Trabi engine needed a mixture of oil and petrol to run, requiring service stations to sell already-mixed fuel.
And what is duroplast anyway?
Duroplast was made from recycled cotton waste from the Soviet Union and phenol resins from the East German dye industry.
And, although the less-than-affectionate nickname of 'spark plug with a roof' seemed to be fairly accurate, when we visited Trabi World, there was still quite a line-up of people keen to experience a drive in the vehicle.
A Berliner later told us that the popularity of the Trabi safaris seemed, in part, to reflect "Ostalgie" or nostalgia for elements of the old East German society and culture.
Although the Trabi was an object of ridicule for many in today's Germany, curiosity and nostalgia had resulted in it achieving a measure of cult status.
As we watched Trabi safaris splutter by over the next few days, our walking guide reminded us that, before the fall of the Berlin Wall, the car was the height of luxury for East Germans.
A Trabi cost up to one year's salary and there was a waiting period of 12 months after you ordered and paid for it.
There's a story in Berlin about one East German man who ordered his Trabi and was given a delivery date exactly one year later.
He stunned the manufacturers by asking whether his car would be delivered in the morning or afternoon.
"It's important" he said "because the plumber is coming that morning".
Apparently, that was life in East Germany.
Despite a construction boom; remnants of Eastern bloc regulation; high levels of public housing; and heavy World War II bombing, Berlin still boasts some wonderful architecture well worth seeing.
Wandering through Berlin, it's easy to see how the appearance of the city today is largely a direct result of the tumultuous role it played in 20th Century Germany.
The other key influence is an astonishing building boom that, for the past few years, has produced a skyline of cranes and literally thousands of construction sites across the city.
Despite all this, Berlin still has some remarkable architecture and incredible attractions.
An iconic landmark of Berlin and Germany, the Brandenburg Gate is an 18th-century neoclassical triumphal arch that stands in the western edge of the city centre in the Mitte borough.
It marks an historic gateway to Berlin.
Berlin's oldest museum is located in the UNESCO-listed heritage site known as Museum Island.
It was built by Karl Friedrich Schinkel – Prussia's most influential architect – and houses the city's Classical Antiquities collection.
Completed in 1830, the Altes Museum is one of the most important buildings of the Neoclassical era. An inscription on the striking building reads: 'Friedrich Wilhelm III has dedicated this museum to the study of all antiquities and the free arts, 1828'.
The university has produced 29 nobel prize winners.
Berlin Cathedral is located on Museum Island. Sitting in he River Spree, the island houses five museums built between 1830 and 1930 and was named a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1999.
The Cathedral was finished in 1905, but its eye-catching dome was all but destroyed by bombing in the Second World War.
It is an impressive building and a 'must-see' on any visit to the German capital.
Berlin State Opera is on the Unter den Linden boulevard in the Mitte borough. Construction of the original building on the site began in July 1741.
On August 18, 1843 the building was destroyed by fire and then rebuilt only to be badly damaged again in the Second World War.
This a sample only of Berlin's architectural attractions.
Visitors to this vibrant city would be wise to also spend time at the Reichstag building; Charlottenburg Palace; the Fernsehturm (TV tower), at Alexanderplatz in Mitte; Alexanderplatz in general; and the city's many fine museums and memorials.
On a past visit to Germany, we were intrigued by an unusual Christmas decoration.
Small multicoloured parachutes with a gift suspended below each seemed to be a key part of festive displays – especially in the eastern areas of Berlin.
Asked about the meaning of the decoration, Berliners told us a fascinating story that harked back to the Soviet blockade of the city during the Cold War.
Apparently, a young American pilot, who was airlifting supplies into blockaded Berlin, was touched by the plight of local children and started to drop candy from his plane as it descended to land.
Fashioning small parachutes, he and his crew sent them floating down as they approached the Berlin airport, wiggling the wings of their plane as a signal to the children that their anticipated cargo would soon arrive.
Word soon spread, and donations of candy and other supplies poured in from sympathetic Americans.
In this way, a small idea became a great symbol of hope not only to German children in a bombed-out city, but to all those who yearned for freedom.
This black and white photograph, which is in the public domain, shows a U.S. Air Force Douglas C-54 Skymaster making a candy drop (note the parachutes below the tail of the C-54) in about 1948.
Although the true crime tale of the biggest counterfeiting operation in history had been revealed many times in the past, it was new to us.
And, as far as gripping stories go, this one sure has it all.
While in Berlin, we decided to travel by train to the former Sachsenhausen concentration camp, in eastern Germany.
Unknown to us, this house of horrors – at the town of Oranienburg, in the Brandenburg region – was the centre of a Nazi plan aimed at bringing down the world's financial system.
Along with ovens, gas chambers and mass graves, we heard of Block 19, where the Nazis carried out 'Operation Bernhard' a clandestine exercise to print hundreds of millions of British pounds.
The idea was to drop the counterfeit money by plane over English cities and towns, causing a loss of confidence in the British currency.
Major Bernhard Krueger apparently found forgers in Jewish death camps and set them to work at Sachsenhausen to copy British pounds – and some US dollar bills.
We were told that, from 1942 to 1945, a total of 132 million pound notes were forged at Sachsenhausen – more than the Bank of England held in its vaults.
Instead of using a fast-dwindling air force to distribute the money, the Nazis eventually used the fakes to finance their own espionage services.
So many counterfeit pounds swamped the black markets of Europe that suspicion was cast on real British currency, which then fell in value.
However, the British averted a financial collapse by hitting back with a blockade on bringing pounds into the country.
Not surprisingly, the story of Operation Bernhard and the Sachsenhausen forgery ring has made its way into several books – and even an award-winning film, 'The Counterfeiters'.
It was an offbeat and far-reaching chapter of World War II – and one that kept us engrossed as we toured a chilling and sobering place.

"Now Slinky here is as loyal as any dog you could want."
Slinky Dog (better known as Slinky) is a supporting character in the Toy Story franchise. He is a toy dachshund with a graveled Southern accent.
Slinky possesses a plastic front and hindquarters, with a very stretchable metal slinky as his middle (hence his name), vinyl ears and a green collar.
"I knew you were right all along, Woody. I never doubted you for a second."
In the first film, Slinky is first seen coming out from under Andy's bed. He likes playing checkers with Woody. He is also one of the toys who believes it was an accident when Woody knocks Buzz out the window. He is not happy about Woody's disappearance. He catches the lights when Woody calls them from the window of Sid's room until a grumpy Mr. Potato Head snatches them. When he and the other toys see Buzz's severed arm, Slinky looks devastated at what his friend seems to have done. Woody desperately pleads with him to help, but all he can do is close the curtains of Andy's window.
He is also guilty when he sees Woody telling the truth. He and the other toys make amends and assist Buzz, Woody and RC to make it to the moving van. He uses his stretching ability in an attempt to pull them into the van, but when RC's batteries rapidly drain, he becomes stretched to the breaking point. He loses his grip on Woody and gets sprung back into the moving van without them. He appears to be badly damaged, and the toys try and comfort him while he laments he should have held on longer. He looks ecstatic when Woody uses the rocket strapped to Buzz to return to them. His slink has been fixed at the end of the film, when the toys have been settled in Andy's new room.
"I may not be a smart dog, but I know what road kill is."
In the second film, when Woody is looking for his hat to go to Cowboy Camp with Andy, it is Slinky who finds the hat. The bad news is that he got it from Buster, Andy's dog. After Al McWhiggin steals Woody, Slinky goes on the mission led by Buzz to rescue their valuable friend. The rescue squad uses Slinky's coil as a bungee cord to jump from Andy's house. Slinky also has to use two traffic cones (one on his head, another on his tail) when crossing the street due to his unique size and structure. At Al's Toy Barn, while searching in Al's office with a newer Buzz Lightyear action figure that the toys mistake for Andy's, Slinky encounters two Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Robots on Al's desk and asks them if they have seen "a cowboy doll with a bad arm" (referring to Woody), only to indirectly cause the two robots to fight. As Al enters the office, the New Buzz orders the toys to stow away in Al's bag, then they arrive at an apartment that houses Al's Penthouse. After entering the apartment through an air vent, they climb up an elevator shaft and arrive at the topmost floor with help from a rising elevator. When the toys break into the penthouse, Slinky and Bullseye have a growling match that Jessie tries to stop, but Slinky uses his coil to tie up Jessie and Bullseye. He then tells his allies to grab Woody and escape, but they are stopped by Andy's Buzz, who proves he is the one that the toys recognize, to Slinky's relief. Slinky feels disappointed when Woody intends to stay with his Roundup gang to be put in a museum, and takes a possibly one last look at Woody before he leaves with the others, but brightens up when Woody declares that he is coming with them. After Al packs up Woody and the Roundup collection into his case and leaves the penthouse, the toys jump onto the elevator, and Buzz opens the emergency hatch on the elevator and uses Slinky to fish Woody out. Just as Slinky opens the case and grabs Woody's hands, the elevator reaches the lobby and Al steps out, causing Slinky to become stretched out, but Stinky Pete grabs Woody and pulls him back into the case, making Slinky accidentally release Woody and rebound. After the toys leave the apartment, they hijack a Pizza Planet delivery truck, and Slinky controls the pedals of the truck to chase Al to Tri-County International Airport. At the airport, Slinky follows Buzz, but his hind legs become stuck to one of the luggage handles, and is unable to follow Buzz as he becomes overstretched again. However, he is able to rejoin with the other toys as they stun Stinky Pete with flash cameras and finally capture him.
After the toys return home, Slinky is seen standing with Buster at the door, interpreting that Buster wants to get out of the room. Finally, Slinky is among an audience of toys who gather around to watch a fixed Wheezy sing "You've Got a Friend in Me."
Hamm: Hey, where's that fur-ball Lotso?!
Slinky Dog: Yeah, I'd like to loosen his stitchin'.
In the third film, Slinky goes to Sunnyside Daycare with the others when they think that Andy no longer wants them and are put out on the sidewalk by Andy's mother as trash. Slinky is still very loyal to his friends, but is heartbroken when he believes he and the other toys are thrown out by Andy. At Sunnyside, Slinky, Hamm and Barbie shake hands with Stretch. Later, Slinky is seen being tangled up constantly by the young children and is easily dispatched by Lotso and his gang and imprisoned. Slinky is seen to be the happiest toy to see Woody return and assists him in getting rid of the Monkey who monitors the security cameras. While the Monkey is overpowering Woody, Slinky grabs a piece of scotch tape, and the two succeed in taping up the Monkey. After reaching the dumpster, Slinky, being old but still has a spring in his step, manages to stretch himself across the open dumpster to the closed one so the toys can climb across to safety. Just as the toys are about to execute their leap to freedom, Lotso and his henchmen stop them, and Lotso kicks Slinky's paws, causing him to return to the chute.
After the toys end up at the Tri-County Landfill, and are pushed onto a garbage conveyor belt, Slinky is the first to be sucked up by a magnetic ceiling due to the metal slinky in his body. After the toys clear the shredders, they are left to die in an incinerator due to Lotso's betrayal, forcing Slinky to hold hands with Woody and Hamm when Buzz and the other toys held hands with one another, but are saved by the Aliens operating a giant claw. Once outside, Slinky and Hamm wish to get back at Lotso for leaving them to die, but Woody talks them out of it because Lotso isn't worth it.
When the toys return home, they use Slinky as a bungee cord to jump back up to the roof (the similar way Buzz's rescue party have done in the previous film when leaving). He tells Woody to have fun at college with Andy as he says his supposedly last farewell to his loyal friend. In the end, he and the other toys are eventually donated to Bonnie Anderson, a little girl who has taken Woody home earlier in the film.
During the end credits, when Dolly shows the toys the drawing Bonnie has made for each toy, Slinky says his catchphrase "Golly bob-howdy!" as he sees the one made of him (however, he doesn't say the catchphrase during the main events of the movie). Finally, Slinky is last seen watching Buzz and Jessie perform a paso doble to "Hay Un Amigo En Mi," the Spanish version of "You've Got a Friend in Me."
"You can't touch me, Sheriff. I brought my attack dog with a built-in force field!"
During Andy's play scenario that occurs in the opening sequences for both Toy Story and Toy Story 3, the latter taking place in a real-world imagination, Slinky is portrayed as an "Attack Dog With a Built-In Force Field", who is Mr. Potato Head's character One-Eyed Bart's attack dog that, when summoned by Bart, protects him with a "force field" from being arrested by Woody. In the third film, he also protects Bart's wife One-Eyed Betty (Mrs. Potato Head's character) and the three Aliens.
In the first film, he gets defeated by Woody's "Dinosaur Who Eats Force Field Dogs" (Rex's role), allowing Woody to send Bart to "jail" (Molly's crib). However, in the third film, he is spared because a spaceship controlled by Evil Dr. Porkchop (Hamm's character) appears, and Dr. Porkchop warps the villains, along with their attack dog, back inside the spaceship.
Originally, Slinky was depicted as a long-suffering, abused right hand of Woody and was also one of the more unpopular toys among Andy's collection. According to Woody, the only reason Slinky wasn't hauled off to Goodwill, much less is actually played with by Andy, was because of Woody. Eventually, after Woody not only attempted murder against Buzz Lightyear, as well as being severely insulted by Woody when he hesitantly spoke up against what Woody did, he turned against his former master by telling the other toys to throw him out the window just as he had done to Buzz. This concept, as well as Slinky's overall demeanor, was changed after the infamous Black Friday viewing of the film that resulted in it receiving an extensive redo.
Slinky is a nice, friendly, and playful dog. He is quite well-behaved compared with some of Andy's other toys. He shows faith in Woody (sometimes acting like his pet) and he will do anything to help his friend out. He is friends with all of Andy's toys, has a sense of humor, and enjoys playing checkers with Woody.
Slinky has been one of Woody's closest and loyalest friends.
Slinky had larger eyebrows in the first two films. However, his eyebrows are quite trim in the third film. The reason for this is unknown.
Slinky is made of wood with articulating legs and head, unlike the real life toy which is made of plastic and stands completely still.
At one point in Toy Story 2, Slinky says, "I may not be a smart dog, but I know what roadkill is." This is a reference to the quote "I'm not a smart man, but I know what love is" from Forrest Gump, which starred Tom Hanks, the voice of Woody.
Slinky Dog is based on Slinky, a pull toy by James Industries, which was popular in the 1950s, 1960s, and early 1970s. With the permission of James Industries, Slinky Dog was partially redesigned for the film by Bud Luckey to make him more appealing as an animated character.
In the first two films, Slinky was voiced by the late Jim Varney, who died shortly after Toy Story 2 was released due to lung cancer in 2000, one decade before the third film. In the third film, Blake Clark, Varney's replacement, voiced Slinky. Prior to Varney's death, he had been good friends with Clark.
This makes Slinky the only character who had to be recast for Toy Story 3.
Also, in the third film, Slinky's voice is a bit low pitch. In the previous films, his voice was a bit higher; this can be explained by the fact that Slinky is not voiced by the same actor.
He also appeared in Toy Story 3: The Video Game and had his very own ranch called Slinky Corral (Blake Clark was also available to reprise his role).
At one point in Toy Story 3, Hamm calls Slinky "Slinkykins."
His famous catchphrase "Golly bob howdy!" is a tribute to Varney's most popular character Ernest P. Worrell, whose trademark was this phrase.
Slinky does not appear or is even mentioned in Toy Story of Terror!. He must have been left behind at home during the events of that special.
Originally, Slinky was intended to be one of Andy's more unpopular toys and the least played with, with Woody effectively being the only reason Slinky wasn't hauled off to Goodwill, with Woody pointing this out when demanding that Slinky force the other toys off the bed after throwing Buzz out of the window. This backstory, however, was cut out after the scene in question nearly resulted in Toy Story being shut down on Black Friday.
Slinky: "Right here, Woody. I'm red this time."
Slinky: "Oh, well, all right. You can be red if you want."
Woody: "N-Not now, Slink. I got some bad news."
Woody: "Shh, shh, shh! Just gather everyone up for a staff meeting, and be happy."
"Aah, I knew you were right all along, Woody. Never doubted ya for a second."
Mr. Potatohead: Of course Woody ain't worried. He's been Andy's favorite since kindergarden.
Slinky: Hey! Hey! Come on potatohead! If Woody says it's all right then darn it it's good enough for me. Woody has never stered us wrong before.
Slinky: "What have we done?"
Rex: "Great, now I have guilt!"
—Slinky and Rex, after Bo Peep reveals that "Woody was telling the truth!"
Slinky: "Fellas! Fellas! OK! I got some good news, and I got some bad news."
Mrs. Potato Head: "What news?"
Slinky: "Good news is I found your hat, Woody."
Woody: "My hat! Oh, Slink! Thank you! Thank you, thank you, thank you. Where'd you find it?"
Slinky: "Well, that's the bad news."
Slinky: "I beg your pardon, ma'am, but where's Al's office?"
Tour Guide Barbie: "Please hold all questions until the end of the tour. Thank you."
"Whoa! Pork bellies are falling."
Slinky: "Buzz! Buzz, my back is goin' to Baton Rouge! Aah!"
Woody: "Slink, gather everyone up."
Slinky: "Uh...we are gathered, Woody.

\section{Introduction}
As a subbranch of dynamical systems, open dynamical systems is an active research area. A typical example is the dynamics of a billiard ball on a table with holes. For some of the recent developments in open dynamics research we refer to \cite{BDM10, BY11,DWY10,FP12, Kel12, KL09}. In this article, we would like to study the Hausdorff dimension of the open systems with holes arising in homogeneous spaces. Let $G$ be a Lie group and $\Gamma$ a uniform lattice in $G$. Consider the compact homogeneous space $X=G/\Gamma$ and one parameter semigroup $(g_t)_{t \ge 0}$ of diagonalizable elements of $G$ acting on $X$ by left translations. In many situations, using uniqueness of the measure of maximal entropy and variational principle for topological entropy one can show that the Hausdorff dimension of the set of trajectories under $g_t$ that miss a fixed open set is strictly less than $\dim G$. Our goal in this paper is to find an effective bound for the Hausdorff dimension of such sets. We fix a right invariant Riemannian metric $d$ on $G$ and use the same notation $d$ for the induced metric on $X$. Let $H$ be the unstable subgroup of $G$ w.r.t. $g_1$, that is,
$$H:=\{g \in G : d(g_n g g_{-n},e) \to 0 \text{ as } n\to -\infty\},$$
where $e \in G$ is the identity element. Let $\nu$ be the Lebesgue measure on $H$, $\mu$ the probability Haar measure on $X$, $\|\cdot\|_\ell$  a Sobolev norm in $W_\ell^2(X)$, and $\| \cdot\|$ is the maximum norm.

\begin{mydef}\label{prop:EM} We say that a flow $(X,\{g_t\})$ has \emph{property (EM)} if
there exist $D,\lambda, k,\ell>0$ such that for any $x \in X$, $f \in C_c^\infty (H)$, and $\psi \in C^\infty(X)$ such that the map $g \to g x$ is injective on some ball in $G$ containing $\supp(f)$, and for any $t \ge 0$ one has
$$\left|\int_Hf(h) \psi(g_t h x) d\nu(h)-\int_H fd\nu(h) \int_X\psi d\mu \right| \le {\rm const}(f,\psi) e^{-\lambda t},$$
where
$$ {\rm const}(f,\psi)=D \|f\|_\ell \|\psi\|_\ell \left(\max_{x \in X}\|\nabla \psi\| \int_H |f| d\nu \right)^k.$$
\end{mydef}

Our definition of property $(EM)$ is a consequence, (c.f. \cite[Proposition~2.4.8]{KleMar}), of property $(EM)$ defined in \cite{KleMar}. We note that the $\text{const}(f,\psi)$ is not stated explicitly in \cite{KleMar}, however as pointed out in \cite{BK13}, one easily gets the above explicit constant.

From \cite[Lemma~2.4.1]{KleMar} we see that, in particular, if $\Gamma$ is an irreducible lattice in $G$ and $G$ has an essential factor $G'$ which is not locally homeomorphic to $SO(m,1)$ or $SU(m,1), m \in \N$ then the property $(EM)$ holds for the flow $(X, \{g_t\})$.

For any metric space $(Y,d)$ we define open balls by
$$
B^Y(x,r):=\{y \in Y : d(x,y)<r\}.$$
When $Y$ is a group with identity $e$ we simply let $B^Y(r):=B^Y(e,r).$
Since $X$ is compact we can pick a constant $r_0\in (0,1)$ such that for any $x \in X$ the map $g \to g x$ is injective on $B^G(r_0)$. We consider $\Gamma=e \Gamma$ as an identity coset in $X$ and for simplicity write $B^X(r)$ for $B^X(\Gamma,r)$. Our main result is the following.

\begin{thm}\label{thm:main'} Let $G,\Gamma,g_t,\mu,r_0$ be as above. Assume that the flow $(X, \{g_t\})$ has property (EM). Then, there exists a constant $C>0$ such that for any $r\in (0,r_0)$ and $x_0 \in X$ the set
\begin{equation}\label{eqn:exceptionalset}
\{x \in X : g_t x\not \in B^X(x_0,r) \text{ for any } t \ge 0 \}
\end{equation}
has Hausdorff dimension at most
$$\dim G + C \frac{\mu(B^X( r))}{\log \mu(B^X(r))}.$$
\end{thm}

Similar results were studied in different contexts, see e.g. \cite{FP12, KL09, BK13, Kad13, Urb87,Hen92}. It is desired to obtain the similar results when $\Gamma$ is not necessarily uniform. However, to derive nontrivial estimates from exponential mixing we need to assume that the complement of an open ball in $X$ is compact which is not the case if $X$ is not compact. We will make no claim on sharpness of our result. In fact, we think the following should hold true.

\begin{conj}
Let $G$ be a Lie group, $\Gamma$ a lattice, $\{g_t\}$ a one parameter diagonalizable subgroup of $G$ acting on $X=G/\Gamma.$ Assume that the Haar measure $\mu$ on $X$ is the unique measure of maximal entropy. Then, there exists a constant $C>0$ such that for any $x_0 \in X$ and $r>0$ such that the map $g \to g x_0$ is injective on $B^G(r)$, the set \eqref{eqn:exceptionalset} has Hausdorff dimension at most $\dim G - C  \mu(B^X(r)).$
\end{conj}

In this generality, it is not known if the Hausdorff dimension of the set \eqref{eqn:exceptionalset} is strictly less than $\dim G$. This was observed in \cite{EKP13} for $X=G/\Gamma$ when $G$ is of $\R$-rank one.

We will adopt some of the ideas from \cite{BK13} where the Hausdorff dimensions of the level sets of uniformly badly approximable systems of linear forms were estimated. In the next section we will prove some known results in a more general setting. In \S~\ref{sec:EM} we use the property $(EM)$ to obtain Theorem~\ref{thm:main'}.

\section{Auxiliary results}\label{sec:auxiliary}

This section may be of independent interest. In certain cases, it may be possible to estimate the measure of certain subsets arising in ergodic theory and one may wish to study the covering of these sets by certain balls. In this section we provide a general version of some well known results useful in such occasions. See e.g. \cite{KleMar} where tessellation method was introduced for such purposes.

Let $G$ be a Lie group and $\Gamma$ a discrete subgroup of $G$ and set $X=G/\Gamma$. Let $\{g_t\}$ be a one parameter diagonalizable semigroup and $H$ be the unstable subgroup w.r.t. $g_1$. As before, let us fix a right invariant Riemannian metric $d$ on $G$ and to simplify the notation let $B(r):=B^H(r)$. For any set $K$ of $X$ we let $\partial_r K$ denote the thickening of $K$ by $r$, that is, $\partial_r K=\{x \in X: d(x,K)\le r\}$.
Let $\nu$ be the Haar measure on $H$. By Bowen $(t,r)$-ball in $H$ we mean any translate of $g_{-t} B(r) g_t$ in $H$.

\begin{prop}\label{prop:exceptionalk}
For any $r,t \ge 0$, a subset $K$ of $X$, a point $x \in K$, and a natural number $k \in \N,$ let $E_k(t,r,K,x)$ denote the set given by
\begin{equation}\label{eqn:exeptionalk}
E_k(t,r,K,x):=\{h \in B(r): g_{t\ell} h x  \in K, \ell=1,2,\dots,k\}.
\end{equation}
We have that the set $E_k(t,r,K,x)$ can be covered with at most
$$\sup_{x' \in \partial_r K} \left(\frac{\nu(E_1(t,2r,\partial_r K, x'))}{\nu(g_{-t}B(r/2) g_t)}\right)^k$$
Bowen $(tk,r)$-balls in $H$.
\end{prop}

Proposition~\ref{prop:exceptionalk} follows inductively from the following.

\begin{lem}\label{lem:ratio}
For any $r,t \ge 0$, a point $x \in X$ and a subset $K$ of $X$ we have that the set $E_1(t,r,K,x)$ can be covered with
$$\frac{\nu(E_1(t,2r,\partial_r K, x))}{\nu(g_{-t}B(r/2) g_t)}$$
Bowen $(t,r)$-balls in $H$.
\end{lem}

\begin{proof}
Let us pick $h \in E_1(t,r, K, x)$ so that $g_t h x \in K$. Any $h' \in   g_{-t}B(r) g_t h$ satisfies
$$
d(g_t h' x, K) \le d(g_t h' x,g_t h x) \le d(g_t h',g_t h) <r.
$$
Hence, $g_t h' x  \in \partial_r K$. Moreover, $g_{-t}B(r) g_t B(r) \subset B(2r)$ so that $ g_{-t}B(r) g_t h  \subset E_1(t,2r,\partial_rK,x)$ whenever $h \in E_1(t,r,K,x)$. A finite subset $S$ of $E_1(t,r,K,x)$ is said to be $(t,r)$-\emph{separated} if for any distinct $h,g \in S$ we have $d(g_t h,g_t g) \ge r$. Let $S$ be a $(t,r)$-separated set of $E_1(t,r,K,x)$ with maximum cardinality. Then, it suffices to estimate $\# S$ from above as maximality implies that $E_1(t,r,K,x) \subset \cup_{h \in S}g_{-t}B(r) g_th$. On the other hand, the sets $g_{-t}B(r/2) g_t h$ and $g_{-t}B(r/2) g_tg$ are disjoint for distinct $g, h \in S$ since otherwise if $g_{-t}h' g_t h=g_{-t}g' g_tg$ with $h',g' \in B(r/2)$ then we would have
\begin{multline*}
d(g_t g,g_t h) =d(g_t g, (h')^{-1}g' g_t g)=d(e, (h')^{-1}g')\\
\le d(e,g')+d(g',(h')^{-1}g') <r.
\end{multline*}
Also, any $h \in S$ satisfies $g_{-t}B(r/2) g_t h \subset E_1(t,2r,\partial_rK,x)$ so that
$$\bigsqcup_{h \in S}g_{-t}B(r/2) g_th \subset  E_1(t,2r,\partial_rK,x).$$
 Thus,
$$\# S \le \frac{\nu(E_1(t,2r,\partial_r K, x))}{\nu(g_{-t}B(r/2) g_t)}. \qedhere$$
\end{proof}

\begin{remark}
We note that in the conclusion of Lemma~\ref{lem:ratio} and Proposition~\ref{prop:exceptionalk} one may replace $2r$ by $r+\frac12{ \rm diam}( g_{-t}B(r/2) g_t )$.
\end{remark}

\begin{proof}[Proof of Proposition~\ref{prop:exceptionalk}]
The case $k=1$ is considered in Lemma~\ref{lem:ratio}. Assume that $k \ge 2$. We note that $E_{k}(t,r,K,x)\subset E_{k-1}(t,r,K,x)$ so that any covering of $E_{k-1}(t,r,K,x)$ also provides a covering for $E_{k}(t,r,K,x).$  Assume that the set $E_{k-1}(t,r,K,x)$ can be covered with
\begin{equation}\label{eqn:inductive}
\sup_{x' \in \partial_rK}\left(\frac{\nu(E_1(t,2r,\partial_r K, x'))}{\nu(g_{-t}B(r/2) g_t)}\right)^{k-1}
\end{equation}
 Bowen $(t(k-1),r)$-balls in $H$ and let $g_{-t(k-1)}B(r) g_{t(k-1)} h$ be one of these Bowen balls. We are interested in the covering of the set
$$D:=g_{-t(k-1)}B(r) g_{t(k-1)} h \cap E_k(t,r,K,x).$$
If the set $D$ is empty there is nothing to cover. Let us assume that $D$ is nonempty. We claim that $D':=g_{t(k-1)}D h^{-1} g_{-t(k-1)} \subset E_1(t,r,K,x'')$ where $x''=g_{t(k-1)}hx$. First note that $D' \subset B(r).$ Next, for any $h' \in D'$ we note that $g_{-t(k-1)} h' g_{t(k-1)} h \in D$ so that
$$g_{tk} g_{-t(k-1)} h' g_{t(k-1)} hx=g_t h' x'' \in K.$$
This proves the claim. Now, we apply Lemma~\ref{lem:ratio} to see that the set $D'$ can be covered with at most
\begin{equation}\label{eqn:x''}
\frac{\nu(E_1(t,2r,\partial_r K, x''))}{\nu(g_{-t}B(r/2) g_t)}
\end{equation}
Bowen $(t,r)$-balls. Fix any $h'' =g_{-t(k-1)} g g_{t(k-1)} h \in D$, then
$$d(x'', K) \le d(g_{t(k-1)}hx, g_{t(k-1)}h''x ) \le d(g_{t(k-1)}h, g g_{t(k-1)} h ) \le d(e,g) <r,$$
where $e \in G$ is the identity element. So, $x'' \in \partial_r K.$ Together with  \eqref{eqn:x''}
 we see that the original set $D$ can be covered with
\begin{equation}
\frac{\nu(E_1(t,2r,\partial_r K, x''))}{\nu(g_{-t}B(r/2) g_t)} \le \sup_{x' \in \partial_r K} \frac{\nu(E_1(t,2r,\partial_r K, x'))}{\nu(g_{-t}B(r/2) g_t)}
\end{equation}
Bowen $(tk,r)$-balls. Finally, combining with \eqref{eqn:inductive} we obtain that the set $E_k(t,r,K,x)$ can be covered with
\begin{equation*}
\sup_{x' \in \partial_rK}\left(\frac{\nu(E_1(t,2r,\partial_r K, x'))}{\nu(g_{-t}B(r/2) g_t)}\right)^{k}
\end{equation*}
 Bowen $(tk,r)$-balls in $H$.
\end{proof}

\section{Proof of Theorem~\ref{thm:main'}}\label{sec:EM}

In this section we use the exponential mixing estimates, that is, the property $(EM)$ to deduce Theorem~\ref{thm:main'}.  For any $r>0$ and $x_0 \in X$ we define the compact set
$$K(x_0,r)=\{x \in X : d(x,x_0) \ge r\}.$$
We recall that $\nu$ is the Lebesgue measure on $H$ and $B(r)=B^H(e,r)$.
Using the countable stability of the Hausdorff dimension it is easy to see that Theorem~\ref{thm:main'} follows from the following.

\begin{thm}\label{thm:main} Assume that the flow $(X,\{g_t\})$ has property $(EM)$. Then, there exists a constant $C>0$ such that for any $x,x_0 \in X$ and $r>0$ sufficiently small so that $g \to g x_0$ is injective on $B^G(r)$, the set
$$E(r/2,K(x_0,r), x):=\{h \in B(r/2): g_t h x \in K(x_0,r), \forall t \ge 0\}$$
has Hausdorff dimension at most $\dim H + C \frac{ \mu(B^X(r))}{\log \mu(B^X(r))}.$
\end{thm}

We now give the proof of Theorem~\ref{thm:main'} assuming Theorem~\ref{thm:main}.

\begin{proof}[Proof of Theorem~\ref{thm:main'}]
Let $x_0\in X$ and $r>0$ be given. From countable stability of the Hausdorff dimension it suffices to show that for any $x \in X$ there exists some $r'>0$ such that the set
$$ \{g \in B^G(r')  : g_t g x \in K(x_0,r) \text{ for any } t\ge 0\}$$
has Hausdorff dimension at most $\dim X + C \frac{ \mu(B^X(r))}{\log\mu(B^X(r))}.$ Let $H^0=\{g \in G : g g_1=g_1g\}$ and $H^-=\{g \in G : g_n g g_{-n} \to e \text{ as } n \to \infty\}$. Then, locally $G$ is a direct product of $H^-,H^0$ and $H$. Once $r'>0$ is sufficiently small, for any $g \in B^G(r')$ we may write $g=h'h$ where $h \in B(r')$ and $h' \in B^{H^-H^0}(r')$. Note that for any $y \in X$ we have
$$d(g_t g x, y) \le d(g_t h'hx,g_t h x)+d(g_t h x, y) \le d(g_t h x,y)+r'.$$
Thus, $g_t gx \in K(x_0,r)$ implies $g_t h x \in \partial_{r'}K(x_0,r) \subset K(x_0,r-r')$ for any $r' \in (0,r)$. So, we deduce that the Hausdorff dimension of the set \eqref{eqn:exceptionalset} is at most
$$ \dim_H \left(\{h \in B^H(r): g_t h x \in K(x_0,r-r'), \forall t\ge 0\} \times H^-  H^0\right)
$$
for any $r'\in (0,r)$. By letting, $r' \to 0$ and using $\dim X=\dim G=\dim H+ \dim (H^-H^0)$ we see that the Hausdorff dimension of the set \eqref{eqn:exceptionalset} is at most
$$\dim X + C \frac{ \mu(B^X(r))}{\log\mu(B^X(r))},$$
as desired.
\end{proof}

For the remaining of the article we focus our attention to the proof of Theorem~\ref{thm:main}. To estimate the Hausdorff dimension we need to find covering of the set with small balls. Clearly, $E(r/2,K(x_0,r),x) \subset E_k(t,r/2,K(x_0,r),x)$ for any $k \in \N$ and $t \ge 0$, where the latter were defined in the previous section. To apply the results obtained in the previous section we need to obtain a measure estimate of
$$E_1(t,r,\partial_{r/2} K(x_0,r),x)=E_1(t,r, K(x_0,r/2),x).$$
 To optimize the estimates, we will later specify $t \ge 0$.

Let $n=\dim H$ and $m=\dim G$. Recall that $r_0>0$ is an injectivity radius of $X$. From property $(EM)$ we will deduce the following.

\begin{prop}\label{prop:measureEst}
 Let $(X,\{g_t\})$ be the flow with property $(EM)$.
There exist constants $D,E,\lambda'>0$ such that for any $x, x_0 \in X$, $r\in (0,r_0/2)$, and $t\ge \frac{1}{\lambda'}\log \frac1r$ we have
$$\nu(E_1(t,r, K(x_0,r/2),x)) \le \nu(B(r)) -  D r^{m+n}+ E e^{-\lambda' t}.$$
\end{prop}

To make use of the (EM) property we need smooth functions that approximates the characteristic functions of small balls.

\begin{lem}\label{lem:feps}
For any unimodular Lie group $G'$ of dimension $d$ and $\ell \in \N$ there exist constants $M_{\ell,d},M_{1,d}>0$ such that the following holds. For any $\epsilon, r>0$, there exist functions $f_\epsilon:G' \to [0,1]$ such that
\begin{itemize}
\item $f_\epsilon \equiv 1$ on $B^{G'}(r)$
\item  $f_\epsilon\equiv 0$ on $\left(B^{G'}(r+\epsilon)\right)^c$
\item $\|f_\epsilon\|_\ell \le M_{\ell,d} \epsilon^{-(d+\ell)}$
\item $\|\nabla f_\epsilon\|  \le M_{1,d} \epsilon^{-1-d}.$
 \end{itemize}
\end{lem}

\begin{proof}
The proof is essentially contained in \cite{BK13} and for completeness we will recall the proof here. Let $g:B^{G'}(1) \to [0,\infty]$ be a smooth function with $\|g\|_{L^1}=1$ and define $g_\epsilon(x)=(c(d)/\epsilon^d)g(2x/\epsilon)$ where $c(d)>0$ is chosen so that $\|g_\epsilon\|_{L^1}=1.$ For any $\alpha=(\alpha_1,\alpha_2,\dots,\alpha_d)$ let $D_\alpha$ denote the differential operator $\frac{\partial^{|\alpha|}}{\partial x_1^{\alpha_1}\dots \partial x_d^{\alpha_d}}$. The convolution $f_\epsilon=g_\epsilon * 1_{B^{G'}(r+\epsilon/2)}$ is smooth as $D_\alpha f_\epsilon=(D_\alpha g_\epsilon) * 1_{B^{G'}(r+\epsilon/2)}$ and it has the support contained in
$$\supp(g_\epsilon) \supp(1_{B^{G'}(r+\epsilon/2)}) \subset B^{G'}(r+\epsilon).$$
Clearly, $0 \le f_\epsilon $ as $0 \le g_\epsilon$. From $\int g_\epsilon =1$ it follows that $f_\epsilon \le 1$ and further with unimodularity assumption we see that $f \equiv 1$ on $B^{G'}(r)$. Thus, it remains to prove the last two assertions. As $g_\epsilon$ is smooth and compactly supported we see that $|D_\alpha f_\epsilon(x)| \le M_{|\alpha|,d} \epsilon^{-d-|\alpha|}$. This clearly implies $\|\nabla f_\epsilon\|  \le M_{1,d} \epsilon^{-1-d}$ and Young's Inequality yields
$$\|D_\alpha f_\epsilon\|_{L^2} \le \|D_\alpha g_\epsilon\|_{L^2} \|1_{B^{G'}(r+\epsilon/2)}\|_{L^1}  \le M_{|\alpha|,d} \epsilon^{-d-|\alpha|},$$
so that $\|f_\epsilon\|_\ell \le M_{\ell,d} \epsilon^{-(d+\ell)}$.
\end{proof}

\begin{proof}[Proof of Proposition~\ref{prop:measureEst}]

Let us fix some $r\in(0,r_0/2)$, $x_0 \in X$ and define
$$A(t,x)=\{h \in B(r) : g_t h x\in B^X(x_0,r/2)\}.$$
Observe that $E_1(t,r, K(x_0,r/2),x) \sqcup A(t,x) =B(r)$. Thus, it suffices to prove
$$\nu(A(t,x)) \ge D r^{m+n}- E e^{-\lambda' t}.$$
We choose $\lambda'>0$ such that $\lambda - (2\ell+m+n+k+km)\lambda' > \lambda'$ and for any $t \ge \frac{1}{\lambda'} \log \frac1r$ we consider the following functions $f_t,\psi_t$. We apply Lemma~\ref{lem:feps} for $G'=H, d=n, r>0$ and $\epsilon=e^{-\lambda' t}$ to obtain $f_t:=f_{e^{-\lambda' t}}$. Then apply Lemma~\ref{lem:feps} for $G'=G, d=m, r/2>0$ and $\epsilon=e^{-\lambda' t}$ to obtain $\psi_t.$ We will identify $\psi_t$ with the function on $X$ given by $g x_0 \to \psi_t(g)$. This is well defined as $g \to g x_0$ is injective on $B^G(2r)$ and $\supp(\psi_t) \subset B^G(2r)$ whenever $t \ge \frac{1}{\lambda'} \log \frac1r$.  From property $(EM)$ we have
\begin{multline*}
\left|\int_Hf_t(h) \psi_t(g_t h x) d\nu(h)-\int_H f_td\nu \int_X\psi_t d\mu \right| \\
\le D\|f_t\|_\ell \|\psi_t\|_\ell \left(\max_{x \in X}\|\nabla \psi_t(x)\| \int_H |f_t| d\nu \right)^k e^{-\lambda t}.
\end{multline*}
So,
\begin{multline*}
\int_Hf_t(h) \psi_t(g_t h x) d\nu(h) \ge \int_H f_td\nu(h) \int_X\psi_t d\mu - D_1 e^{\lambda' t(2\ell+m+n+k+km)-\lambda t}\\
\ge  \int_H f_td\nu \int_X\psi_t d\mu - D_1 e^{-\lambda' t}.
\end{multline*}
Let $f=1_{B(r)}$ and $\psi=1_{B^X(x_0,r/2)}$. Then,
\begin{align*}
\nu(A(t,x)) &=\int_H f(h) \psi(g_t h x) d\nu(h)\\
& \ge \int_H f_t(h) \psi(g_t h x) d\nu(h)-\int |f_t-f| d\nu\\
& \ge \int_H f_t(h) \psi(g_t h x) d\nu(h)-\nu\left(B(r+e^{-\lambda' t})\backslash B(r)\right)\\
& \ge \int_H f_t(h) \psi(g_t h x) d\nu(h)-C_1 e^{-\lambda' t}.
\end{align*}
Similarly using $\psi \ge \psi_t - |\psi_t-\psi|$ we obtain
\begin{align*}
\nu(A(t,x)) & \ge \int_H f_t(h) \psi_t(g_t h x) d\nu(h)-2C_1 e^{-\lambda' t}\\
& \ge  \int_H f_td\nu \int_X\psi_t d\mu - D_1 e^{-\lambda' t}-2C_1 e^{-\lambda' t}\\
& \ge D r^{n+m}- (D_1+2C_1) e^{-\lambda' t}.
\end{align*}
Taking $E=D_1+2C_1$  we obtain the proposition.
\end{proof}

\begin{proof}[Proof of Theorem~\ref{thm:main}]
From Proposition~\ref{prop:exceptionalk} we see that for any $k \in \N$ the set $E_k(t,r/2,K(x_0,r),x)$ (and hence the set $E(r/2,K(x_0,r),x)$) can be covered with at most
\begin{equation}
\sup_{x' \in X} \left(\frac{\nu(E_1(t,r, \partial_{r/2} K(x_0,r), x'))}{\nu(g_{-t}B(r/4) g_t)}\right)^k
\end{equation}
Bowen $(tk,r/2)$-balls. Since $\partial_{r/2} K(x_0,r) = K(x_0,r/2)$, using Proposition~\ref{prop:measureEst} we get that
$$\nu(E_1(t,r, \partial_{r/2} K(x_0,r),x')) \le \nu(B(r)) -  D r^{m+n}+ E e^{-\lambda' t} \text{ for any } x' \in X.$$
We define
$$\lambda_0=\max \{|\lambda| : \lambda \text{ is an eigenvalue of } {\rm Ad}_{g_1}\}.$$
Then it is easy to see that any Bowen $(tk,r/2)$-ball can be covered with
$$ O\left(  \frac{\nu(g_{-tk} B(r/2) g_{tk})}{\nu(B({r e^{-\lambda_0 t k}}))}\right)=O\left(  \frac{\nu(g_{-t} B(r/4) g_{t})^k}{\nu(B({r e^{-\lambda_0 t }}))^k}\right)$$
balls of radius $r e^{-\lambda_0 t k}$, where the implicit constant does not depend on $t,r,k$.
Hence, the set $E(r/2,K(x_0,r),x)$ can be covered with
$$ O\left(\left(\frac{\nu(B(r)) -  D r^{m+n}+ E e^{-\lambda' t}}{\nu(B({r e^{-\lambda_0 t }}))}\right)^k\right)$$
balls of radius $re^{-\lambda_0tk }$. Note that $\nu(B({r e^{-\lambda_0 t}}))=\nu(B(r)) e^{-\lambda_0 n t} =O( r^n e^{-\lambda_0 n t})$. Let $\underline\dim_B$ and $\dim_H$ denote the lower box dimension and the Hausdorff dimension respectively. Then,
\begin{align*}
\underline\dim_B E(r/2,K(x_0,r),x) & \le \lim_{k \to \infty} \frac{k \log \left(\frac{\nu(B(r)) -  D r^{m+n}+ E e^{-\lambda' t}}{\nu(B({r e^{-\lambda_0 t }}))}\right)}{- \log (re^{-\lambda_0t k})} \\
&=\frac{\log \left(e^{\lambda_0 n t} \left(1- D' r^m+E' r^{-n} e^{-\lambda' t} \right)\right)}{\lambda_0 t}\\
&=n+ \frac{\log  \left(1- D' r^m+E' r^{-n} e^{-\lambda' t} \right)}{\lambda_0 t}
\end{align*}
To optimize the estimate we want to choose a suitable $t \ge \frac{1}{\lambda'} \log \frac1r$. We have $r \in (0,r_0)$ and $r_0<1$. Let us pick $p \ge 1$ such that $r^p <r_0^p \le \frac{D'}{2E'}$ and let $t=\frac{m+n+p}{\lambda'}\log \frac1r$. Then, for any $r\in(0,r_0)$ we have
$$E'r^{-n}e^{-\lambda't} = E' r^{-n} r^{m+n+p} < \frac{D'}2 r^m. $$
Thus,
\begin{multline*}\dim_H  E(r/2,K(x_0,r),x) \\
\le \underline\dim_B E(r/2,K(x_0,r),x)  \le n + \frac{\log  \left(1- \frac{D'}2 r^m \right)}{\lambda_0 t} \le n - D'' \frac{ r^m}{ \log \frac1r}.
\end{multline*}
This finishes the proof.
\end{proof}

Harmony Cats é um álbum do trio Harmony Cats, lançado em 1985. Trata-se do último lançamento do conjunto, que naquele momento era formado por Vivian, Sylvia Cremona e a nova integrante Rosecleide.

Foi dedicado a antiga integrante, Maria Amélia, que deixou o grupo para viver nos Estados Unidos.

Produção e lançamento
Após o fim da promoção do álbum de 1983, a carreira do grupo vivia uma situação importuna: a integrante Maria Amélia resolveu sair do grupo para ir morar nos Estados Unidos e as integrantes Sylvia e Vivian estavam grávidas. Para solucionar essa situação, o conjunto resolveu dar uma pausa na carreira.

Após quase 18 meses o grupo começou a procurar uma nova integrante e, por fim, escalaram Rosecleide, que era uma famosa modelo da época, rosto de grandes campanhas publicitárias como a Platinum Plus e Flip Fone. A gravação e o lançamento ocorreu em 1985.

Das 10 canções da lista de faixas, nove são versões de canções estrangeiras, entre elas destacam-se: "Non Voglio Mica la Luna", que foi apresentada por Fiordaliso no Festival de Sanremo, de 1984, a versão em português, feita pelas integrantes Vivian e Sylvia, foi intitulada "Eu Não Te Peço A Lua". Outra versão é a de "Voci Di Citta", sucesso do cantor italiano Dario Baldan Bembo, que na versão em português foi intitulada "As Vozes da Minha Cidade", a canção foi escolhida como o primeiro compacto extraído do disco.

Meses após o lançamento do disco, confirmando boatos, o grupo encerrou as atividades.

Recepção
Em relação aos críticos de música, houve opiniões divergentes sobre o trabalho. Em uma nota do Jornal do Dia foi dito que apesar do grupo ser bom, com o repertório escolhido, ele dificilmente teria êxito dos lançamentos anteriores. O jornalista Luís Antonio, do Correio de Notícias, o classificou como surpreendente.

Relançamento
Após mais de 30 anos do lançamento original (em LP e K7) foi relançado em 2018, pelo selo independente Discobertas, no formato CD.

Please feel free to post any concern/question you want me to discuss on your behalf in this meeting concerning the above mentioned topics.
I am attending the meeting as a representative of my thal association. Arranging this meeting is done through the patients relations department with Novartis.
I will definitely ask this question to Novartis.
As for the generics, I believe there will be always ones produced, but definitely after the original is launched.
• Jadenu is simply Deferasirox, so it's the same molecule used in Exjade, but with less side effects.
• It comes in three concentrations: 90 mg, 180mg and 360mg as film coated tablets and the colour of the tablets are respectively ovaloid light blue, medium blue and dark blue tablets.
• One of the main advantages of Jadenu is that it can be given with a light meal. But certain type of food that does not contain fats. FATS inhibit the absorption Jadenu.
Pita bread, apples, chicken, turkey, carrot, jam, celery sticks, hummus, orange juice, black beans, white rice, red salsa, skimmed milk (no Fats) and egg white only (yolk has fats)….etc.
• Some countries and not all will have the Jadenu in the form of granules.
• Quality of life and adherence to chelation are expected to be positively affected with the onset of Jadenu due to easy administration.
Manal, thank you for the in depth responses to the question people posed about Exjade/Jadenu.


This is made with my own pendant that I made during a Christi Friesen class.
What a pretty pendant and it goes well with the challenge! The transparent beads give an ethereal feel to the necklace just as the work of art!

Great soul crops up in all kinds of odd places and on a new Ace Records collection of Beach Boy in Chief, BRIAN WILSON compositions there are three great cuts to interest serious soul collectors.
First up there's a real oddity; soul harmony group The Tymes' version of the Beach Boy's own 'Surf City'. Yes, hot off the back of hitting with 'So Much In Love', their mentor Billy Jackson had them record the surfing song for a little known 1963 LP of surf-themed songs. The album also featured the Dovells on 'Surfin' Safari' and the Orlons with 'Surfin". Like I said a real oddity.
A little more soulfully conventional is Gene and Billy Page's production for Betty Everett on 'God Only Knows'. Glossy and sophisticated, it's a far cry from the Beach Boys' original. The album also offers Carmen McRae's version of 'Don't Talk Put Your Head On My Shoulder'.
'HERE TODAY; THE SONGS OF BRIAN WILSON' boasts lashing of great pop too – notably a crisp version of the lovely 'Don't Worry Baby' from harmony group, The Tokens, Jay and the Americans' version of 'Things Are Changing' and a decent version of the uncoverable 'Good Vibrations' from Hugo Montenegro.

Rampage Jackson vs. Rashad Evans Moving to UFC 114
Written by Tim Ngo
UFC officials have decided to move the highly anticipated light heavyweight bout between former champions Quinton "Rampage" Jackson and Rashad Evans from UFC 113 in Montreal to UFC 114 in Las Vegas.
Dave Meltzer of Yahoo! Sports was the first to report on the scheduling adjustment for last season's "The Ultimate Fighter: Heavyweights" coaches.
Originally penciled in to meet at UFC 107 in Jackson's hometown of Memphis, Tennessee, the bout was officially canceled when Jackson decided to "retire" from MMA after accepting the role of B.A. Baracus in the upcoming 'A-Team' movie.
The trash-talking between Jackson and Evans was a season long ordeal that at times overshadowed the contestants who were fighting for a six-figure UFC contract.
"UFC 113: Machida vs. Rua II" was looking like the best card of the year, with basically two headlining bouts on the same card, and that could be the reason why the UFC decided to move the bout back to May 29th.
The Jackson vs. Evans bout is the only contest rumored for UFC 114 thus far.
Here's how an updated UFC 113 card looks without the Jackson vs. Evans bout:
When: May 1, 2010
Where: Bell Centre in Montreal, Quebec, Canada
How: Pay-Per-View
Sam Stout vs. Jeremy Stephens
Patrick Cote vs. Alan Belcher
Marcus Davis vs. Jonathan Goulet
Kevin "Kimbo Slice" Ferguson vs. Matt Mitrione

BREAKING NEWS: Juventus confirm Allegri return after Pirlo departure
By	Sports Desk	May 28, 2021
Massimiliano Allegri has returned to Juventus for a second spell as head coach after Andrea Pirlo's departure.
Pirlo on Friday left the Turin giants barely nine months after signing a two-year deal to take over from Maurizio Sarri.
The former playmaker failed to live up to expectations as a coach and Juventus brought an abrupt end to his reign.
The Bianconeri wasted little time in revealing that Allegri has returned as boss of the Serie A giants, who were dethroned as Italian champions by Inter this month.
Allegri, who was linked with Inter and Real Madrid before agreeing to rejoin his former club, had been out of work since ending his hugely successful tenure with Juventus two years ago.
The 53-year-old masterminded five consecutive Scudetto triumphs in his first spell at the club, and his team lifted the Coppa Italia on four occasions.
Juve were beaten Champions League finalists with Allegri at the helm in 2014-15 and 2016-17.

Real Madrid draw Barcelona's conquerors Athletic Bilbao in Copa del Rey quarter-finals
Real Madrid will face Barcelona's conquerors Athletic Bilbao in the pick of the Copa del Rey quarter-final ties.
The one-legged fixture at San Mames is a repeat of last week's Supercopa de Espana final, which Madrid won 2-0 to secure the first silverware of Carlo Ancelotti's second spell.
Madrid will now look to take advantage of record 31-time winners Barca's last-16 exit to Athletic, with Iker Muniain's extra-time penalty eliminating the holders in a 3-2 defeat.
Friday's draw, which was conducted by Spain legend David Villa, also pitted LaLiga high-flyers Real Sociedad and Real Betis.
Betis are third in the Spanish top flight after enjoying a sensational campaign thus far, while Sociedad are fifth and themselves in contention for a Champions League spot.
Valencia will take on Cadiz, meanwhile, and Rayo Vallecano are up against Real Mallorca in the other all-LaLiga quarter-final fixture.
All four ties will take place in two weeks' time, with the first leg of the semi-finals scheduled for the following week.
Copa del Rey quarter-final draw in full:
Athletic Bilbao v Real Madrid
Real Sociedad v Real Betis
Valencia v Cadiz
Rayo Vallecano v Real Mallorca
Nagelsmann hails 'outstanding' Neuer amid ongoing contract discussions
Bayern Munich head coach Julian Nagelsmann remains unsure on the progress of Manuel Neuer's contract negotiations but heaped praise on the "outstanding" goalkeeper.
Neuer has made 300 appearances in the Bundesliga for Bayern since moving from Schalke and holds the record for the most clean sheets in the German top flight (209), having surpassed Oliver Kahn (196) in 2021.
But the Germany international's current contract in Munich expires at the end of the next season, when he will be aged 37, leading to questions over his future.
While Nagelsmann was unable to provide an update on the situation, he insisted that the 35-year-old can continue performing for many years to come.
"I don't know [about negotiations] but I know that he still has a contract and is an outstanding goalkeeper," he told reporters at Friday's pre-match news conference ahead of a trip to Hertha Berlin on Sunday.
"You could see right away that he played an outstanding game against Cologne. He will keep this quality for a few more years."
Asked about the competition, or lack of, between Neuer and Alexander Nubel, the Bayern head coach responded: "As long as he's playing at this level, it's difficult for any player to get past him.
"Manuel is still the best goalkeeper because he plays every part of the goalkeeping game very consistently.
"I can't imagine it stopping abruptly at 36. We can analyse the situation when the time comes. Both are currently playing and are satisfied."
The reigning Bundesliga champions head to Berlin six points clear of Borussia Dortmund at the top after a Robert Lewandowski hat-trick inspired them to a 4-0 win over Cologne.
Hertha have won just one of their last 21 league meetings with the Bavarian side, while Nagelsmann has not lost any of his 12 top-flight clashes with them as a coach.
Only Christoph Daum, against Bochum, has faced an opponent more often (20) without losing a single time but Nagelsmann downplayed the importance of his record against Sunday's opponents.
"It's more of a coincidence," he added on his success against Hertha. "We didn't always play exceptionally well in Berlin. If you have a positive record, you should make sure that it's like that remains.
"They play significantly more football than before, more flat balls, but still a lot of chip balls to [Ishak] Belfodil, who is one of the most under-rated strikers in the league.
"He works well with his body, it's incredibly difficult to defend.
"With [Marco] Richter and [Suat] Serdar, there are good footballers on the outside. It's more the footballing, courageous approach that [Tayfun] Korkut also demands.
"The rest of the defence will be very important for us. In the end, you saw against Wolfsburg that there are a lot of spaces you can attack from, but they also defend much more actively and aggressively."
Despite Bayern's recent dominance, Nagelsmann insisted there is still potential for much improvement, though he feels their progress in Europe could depend on coronavirus.
"I'm satisfied, but we still have a lot of potential," he added. "The processes haven't worked consistently for several weeks. Me and the players take a critical look.
"It's the case that the coronavirus issue is the season will affect how the teams get through.
"There are no longer the extreme quarantine rules. Corona is a thing that you cannot influence very well. If you want to go far in the Champions League, you also have to be a little lucky with Corona quarantines."

¶ 1 Leave a comment on paragraph 1 0
¶ 2 Leave a comment on paragraph 2 0 Marum's son Schmulin barely left a mark. Schmulin and Sandel had a business disagreement that had to be settled in front of the rabbi [R4829]. But Sandel was extremely successful: he ranked seventh overall in terms of business activity and was Parnas [R962] [R892], (foreman of the community). The count sent him on missions to Hohenems, Vaduz [R892], Basel, and Dornach [R145] to negotiate financial settlements related to the Dutch War. Sandel died in 1721 [R1149].
¶ 3 Leave a comment on paragraph 3 0 Not much is to be reported on Sandel's son Salomon (S1.2.2). He was under protection continuously from 1700 to 1743 and engaged in commerce. His textile venture has been reported above (see chap. 8 p. 77). In contrast, his brother Marum (S1.2.1) followed in his father's footsteps. He too was a successful businessman, served the community as Parnas [R2436], and was frequently called upon to settle conflicts in the community [R3061]. Marum's purchase and renovation of the former tavern "zur Krone" has been mentioned above (see chap. 9 p. 82). In 1743 Marum, together with his son Salomon (S1.2.1.1), moved to Gailingen [R1224].
¶ 4 Leave a comment on paragraph 4 0 Besides the two sons, Sandel also had a daughter married to a Joseph Gugenheimb. For thirty-seven years he was referred to in the protection tax register as "Joseph, Sandel's son-in-law." He did not appear to be engaged in any business. In 1739 Joseph was released from protection because of his poverty [R1144] and moved to live with a son living in the Breisgau [R188] area. Joseph's origin is unclear. A 1700 entry mentions a Sir (Herr) Joseph Guggenheim from Vienna who had to pay a 1 fl. fine "according to Jewish custom" [R4464]. It seems likely that this gentleman was the son-in-law of the Vienna court banker Samuel Oppenheimer,15 who together with his entourage had been evicted from Vienna in 1700. This Joseph, supposedly born in Lengnau, was the grandfather-in-law of the philosopher Moses Mendelssohn and the great-great-grandfather of the composer Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy. It is plausible that he should have sought refuge in a little country town; but since that Josef Guggenheim died in Frankfurt around 1735, he could not have been Sandel's son-in-law. The fact that Sandel's two sons and his son-in-law all appear under protection with Sandel's name suggest that he yielded a considerable influence with the court.
