REINHARD HEYDRICH.
"Today at 15.32 in Prague an attempt on the life of the Deputy Reich Protector HEYDRICH was made..." (Radio Prague -- 27th May, 1942, 17.30)
HEYDRICH, Reinhard, SS.-Obergruppenführer, General der Polizei, Chef der deutschen Sicherheitspolizei, Chef des Sicherheitshauptamtes in der Reichsführung SS (Führer des S.D.), Stellvertretender Reichsprotektor in Böhmen und Mähren, Mitglied des Reichstags etc., etc. (Senior Group Leader SS, General of the Police, Chief of the German Security Police, Chief of the Central Security Department in the High Command of the SS (Leader of the Security Service of the SS.) Deputy Reich Protector in Bohemia and Moravia, Member of the Reichstag etc.
H. was born on the 7th March, 1904 in Halle (Province of Saxony) as son of the Director of a private musical academy. His mother also descends from a family of musicians. H. was educated at a Halle High School and at an early age (1918) became a member of some ultra-national youth organisation. Later in his life, H. used to brag about legendary feats of heroism (and terrorism) which he claimed to have performed at that time. -- In 1922 H. joined the German Navy, was commissioned as Sub-Lieutenant in 1926 and was posted to the ill-fated training ship "Niobe". During the last journey of this ship, from which it never returned he was, however, not on board. Later Heydrich, promoted to the rank of Lieutenant in 1928, became Intelligence Officer in the Baltic Command of the German Navy ("Admiralstabsleitung der Marinestation Ostsee"). It was probably in this position that Heydrich got into contact with Admiral Canaris, the famous Chief of German Military Intelligence, a connection which, rumours contend, has never been cut. In 1931, Heydrich left the Navy, apparently owing to some scandal, the most current rumor being that this scandal was a homosexual one. In the same year H. joined the Nazi Party in Hamburg and made a rapid career: The end of the same year saw him already as "Sturmführer" of the SS, attached to the SS High Command in Munich, and in 1932, after a short spell of duty in East Prussia, Heydrich rose to the rank of "Standartenführer" (approximately Regimental Commander). Heydrich's job in the SS was the re-organisation of the existing spying and information services of the SS (the so-called "S.D." = "Sicherheitsdienst" = Security Service of the SS) and he did this job so thoroughly that the mopping up of political opponents in 1933 was done with a thoroughness and swiftness which was decisive for the continuation of Hitler's regime.
In 1933, Heydrich, then SS-Oberführer, became first Chief of the Political Department of the Munich Police, later Chief of the Bavarian Police, and in 1935 -- having already been Berlin Gestapo Chief -- Heydrich assumed his present rank of Chief of the whole of the German Security Police (incorporating Gestapo and C.I.D.).- It was stated some time ago in the SS Weekly "Das Schwarze Korps" that Heydrich has also taken part in this war as an officer of the German Air Force and more recent photographs show him indeed with the ribbons of both Iron Crosses. His main activity, however, was certainly centered on the task of extending the police system, the spying apparatus and the terrorism which he had instituted in Nazi Germany over more than half of Europe. This task has not been a very easy one and Heydrich himself in a speech he made in 1941 on the "Day of the German Police" pointed out that the German police forces, large as they were, had not been sufficient to cover the whole of Hitler-owned and Hitler-occupied Europe with the usual thoroughness. The call-up of further men (Gestapo is not in every case a reserved occupation) and the particularly big demand for security forces which exists in the wide spaces of Russia have already contributed to increase these difficulties further, and the fresh unrest in Western Europe this spring and summer may well have caused something approaching a "security crisis". Such hard times have happened before, though not in the same degree, and it was usually Heydrich who was sent to the spot where trouble was brewing. He has visited almost every occupied territory, and his visits resulted without fail in mass executions and more terror. Thus in the second half of September 1914 special difficulties were encountered by the German authorities in Czecho-Slovakia. Apparently Neurath, the Reichsprotektor, was considered too weak or the trouble was too strong, anyway, Heydrich was kept on the spot as Deputy Reichsprotektor and the usual mass executions and phoney trials took place for several weeks.
His position as Deputy Reichsprotektor, however, did not prevent Heydrich from remaining Security Chief of German occupied Europe. Thus towards the middle of this month of May, Heydrich went again "on tour", this time to the Western occupied territories which had shown considerable unrest following upon British air and commando attacks. On the 7th May H. installed Oberg, the most "capable" of the terrorist SS, Police and Gestapo Leaders in Poland, as Senior SS & Police Leader for occupied France. On the 17th, H. was reported to be in The Hague (mass shootings of former Dutch officers) and on the 26th he was reported back in Prague and received the heads of the Czech puppet government and administration, announcing to them the measures to be taken for the "simplification" of administration in the Protectorate.
If Heydrich should not survive the attempt or if he is invalided for some appreciable time, the loss for the Nazi regime would be very serious indeed. It can safely be said that next to Himmler Heydrich is the soul of the terror machinery from which depends the fate of the inner front in Germany. The Gestapo machine, certainly exceedingly well organised, is already -- and admittedly -- heavily taxed by the lack of man-power and the rising unrest. The loss of the "master mind" will have serious consequences. -- Another point worth noting is that Heydrich was one of the most important members of the Himmler group within the Nazi Party, all the more important as he controlled the Gestapo, the most important instrument of power in Germany.
PEOPLE ROUND HEYDRICH
The following personalities in the Protectorate were among Heydrich' s closest collaborators and may be rather prominent in the coming days:
(1) Karl Hermann FRANK, Senior SS & Police Leader in the Protectorate, Under-secretary of State and as such permanent Deputy to the Reichsprotektor. (He issued the proclamations and warrants after the attempt!)
(2) RIEGE, Chief of the (uniformed) "Ordnungspolizei" in the Protectorate, Major-General of the Police.
(3) Horst BÖHME SS-Standartenführer Chief of the Security Police in the Protectorate.
(4) Dr. GESCHKE, SS-Standartenführer, Gestapo Chief in Prague.
(5) v.TREUENFELD, SS-Brigade Leader, Major-General of the Police and Chief of Armed SS in the Protectorate.
(6) v. TOUSSAINT , Major-General, Military Commander in the Protectorate.
PAUL WEGENER.
--- "The Führer has appointed Paul Wegener as successor to the late Gauleiter and Regent ROVER ..." (DNB, 26.5.42)
Wegener, born on the 1st October, 1908 in Varel (Oldenburg), was educated in Wilhelmshaven and later at the Colonial Academy at Witzenhausen. He was for a short time farmer, later a merchant and, after having joined the Nazi Party, he became a full-time politician. In 1933 he became a Member of the Reichstag, in August 1936 he was transferred from Bremen, where he had been active hitherto, to the Mark Brandenburg and became Deputy Gauleiter (after Kube and his staff had been cleared out). After the occupation of Norway Wegener, who had taken part in the Polish campaign as officer in the Waffen-SS became deputy to Reich Commissioner Terboven in Oslo.

Beth Lipman
Beth Lipman received her BFA in Glass and Fibers from the Tyler School of Art, Temple University, in 1994. She has exhibited her work throughout the Northeast region, at such places as the Brooklyn Museum of Art, the Bronx Museum of Art, the Fine Art Museum of Long Island, and the Heller Gallery.
Beth has earned awards from the Peter S. Reed Foundation, the Brooklyn Arts Council/ Department of Cultural Affairs, and the American Scandinavian Foundation. She served as the Education Director at UrbanGlass from 1997 to 2000 and has taught at Pratt Fine Art Center, New York University – UrbanGlass, Parsons School of Design, and the Bard Graduate Center.
Wisconsin-based artist Beth Lipman's portfolio of work resembles the glassware of the 17th and 18th century contained in the Museum of American Glass' historical glass collection. Instead of the functional dinnerware glass of old, Lipman uses the glass structures to examine material culture, excess, morality, consumerism, and the masters of the past. Lipman has exhibited her work at museums and galleries such as the Museum of Wisconsin Art, Des Moines Art Center, and the Museum of Craft and Design. She has also been a resident artist at the Alturas Foundation and a Creative Glass fellow at WheatonArts.
Her compositions are sometimes mountains of assembled chaos with broken glassware spilling onto each other. In the case of her piece from her Creative Glass fellowship in 2001, displayed here, it's a milk glass tea tray. As the name suggests, the composition takes after the 18th-century Swiss painter Jean-Étienne Liotard's 1781 to 1783 painting Still Life, Tea Set. Lipman mimics Liotard's tea tray in its appearance, from the placement of the tea set to the tipped over cups on saucer plates to upturned spoons. However, instead of Chinese porcelain with Orientalist lacquer design of Liotard's set, Lipman's piece is milk glass with paintings depicting scenes of women.

The Calvert to Kagaru (C2K) project is one of 13 projects that complete Inland Rail. This section of Inland Rail involves the design and construction of approximately 53km of new dual gauge track.
This connection will provide convenient access for freight to major proposed industrial developments at Ebenezer in Ipswich, and at Bromelton near Beaudesert.
The project generally follows the protected Southern Freight Rail Corridor (SFRC) which was gazetted as future railway land by the Queensland Government on November 5, 2010. This Corridor links the West Moreton line near Calvert to the interstate rail line near Kagaru, north of Beaudesert.
The Queensland Department of Transport and Main Roads (TMR) undertook preliminary planning and impact assessment for the SFRC study in order to reserve a corridor land for future railway development. It aimed to identify a future route for a freight rail corridor connecting the western rail line near Calvert to the interstate railway north of Beaudesert.
The rail corridor is 80m to 100m wide, and extends about 53km from Calvert at its northern extent to Kagaru at its south-eastern extent. The SFRC was intended to serve as a major freight link connecting a future Melbourne to Brisbane inland rail line with the existing South-East Queensland rail freight network.
There was extensive public consultation over the course of the study leading to the gazettal of the SFRC corridor. Technical, environmental and cultural heritage studies undertaken in the lead-up to the gazettal of the SFRC highlighted issues that required further intensive assessment, when more detailed designs were progressed closer to construction.
Corridor protection is a broad term covering a variety of actions that governments can take to identify and protect land required to deliver future infrastructure. It is the first step in translating long-term infrastructure strategies and plans into an operating piece of infrastructure that serves the Australian community.
In effect, corridor protection provides future generations with an affordable option to proceed with a project. Governments can then determine when and how to deliver the project. The required land is usually in the form of a linear corridor. Under an effective corridor protection regime, governments typically limit development on the corridor and progressively acquire the land. As such, when it is time to deliver the project, governments typically own most, or all, of the corridor.
The Queensland Government promotes the use of protected corridors and supports the use of the SFRC for Inland Rail. Furthermore, compatibility with existing and future transport corridors is an objective of the draft Terms of Reference (ToR) for the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the Calvert to Kagaru Project. As such, unless a firm justification for developing the reference design outside of the SFRC is provided, it is unlikely that the project will gain approval from the Queensland government.
ARTC is considering various options to refine the alignment within the SFRC. We are also exploring the possibility of leaving the SFRC through the Teviot Range, where there is the potential for significant efficiencies in constructability and reductions in potential environmental impacts to be realised. This study area is outlined in the Initial Advice Statement.
Any deviations from the protected corridor will be decided on several key factors, such as impact on the Inland Rail service offering, constructability, cost and environmental or community impacts.
The section across the Teviot Range is the only area identified as requiring consideration for moving outside of the SFRC.
The EIS will be developed in conjunction with the reference design of the project. Once the EIS is completed, the reference design will effectively lock-down the project alignment. The EIS and reference design is expected to be completed within 2 years.
A number of different corridors have been investigated in recent years. It's preferable to use existing publicly-owned corridors, including existing rail lines and road reserve areas. However, there are various factors to consider when determining reference.
the nature of the terrain in these areas (e.g. steep grades and/or the need to wind through areas like these are not desirable, due to the size and weight of the trains).
flooding and hydrology (e.g. we need to ensure a 98% level of serviceability for Inland Rail, so the corridor needs to be developed to withstand flood conditions)
cost (e.g. due to the physical construction requirements in some locations, it may be too costly to locate the project there)
travel time (e.g. ARTC has to ensure a travel time from Melbourne to Brisbane of less than 24 hours)
constructability (e.g. some locations will make construction more difficult)
easement setback requirements (e.g., there are minimum clearances required from road, power and other public utility easements that must be met).
The Queensland Coordinator-General has granted 'coordinated project' status to the Calvert to Kagaru Project. This means the Inland Rail team needs to prepare an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS).
A project is declared a Coordinated Project if it has one or more of the following features:
complex approval requirements, involving local, state and federal governments
significant infrastructure requirements.
significant environmental effects
strategic significance to the locality, region or state, including for the infrastructure, economic and social benefits, capital investment or employment opportunities it may provide.
The Coordinator-General issued the draft ToR for public comment on 26 August 2017, with the closing date for comments on 25 September 2017.
Once the ToR have been finalised, the Inland Rail team will start the detailed social, economic and environmental impact studies to develop the draft EIS. During this phase, we will provide regular updates on our progress and speak to communities to gather more information.
As part of this process, matters of national environmental significance will be assessed under the Commonwealth Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999.
These studies will inform the preparation of a draft EIS, which will be released for public review and submissions. We encourage you to be involved in the process and invite you to contact the project team for more information and provide feedback.
Evolution of design during the EIS process occurs from the conceptual stage proposed in the Initial Advice Statement through to reference design stage described in the draft EIS.
The reference design is further developed into a detailed design after the EIS process, and must include a response to the conditions and recommendations in the Coordinator-General's report on the EIS, and other subsequent permit and approval conditions.
Studies developed to protect a future corridor, such as the SFRC, are generally at a less detailed level than that on an EIS, as the intent is typically to undertake further detailed studies closer to the time of the project being developed. Such detailed studies include the development of an EIS.
Community consultation is vital to the success of Inland Rail. Your input can shape its development and we welcome your participation. ARTC is committed to working with stakeholders at every stage of planning and development of the project.
The EIS process includes two formal public comment periods:
draft Terms of Reference (ToR): COMPLETED
draft EIS exhibition period: late 2019.
A revised draft EIS will be released but only if required by the Coordinator-General.
The Inland Rail project team is also available to meet stakeholders at any time during the course of the project.
To organise a meeting, please contact the project team via:.
E: inlandrailqld@artc.com.au
W: www.inlandrail.com.au
ARTC is consulting with the recognised Aboriginal party for the project area.
The study area is a nominated location that applies to either side of the preferred alignment and sets the spatial scope for future studies for the EIS. The study area is applied to the preferred alignment so we can advise landholders of property lying in whole or in part within the area of our intention to develop the EIS and provide advanced notice of the necessary field studies that will be required in various locations.
The reason studies are undertaken away from the preferred alignment, is so information can be gathered at a local and regional scale to better inform the potential impacts of the project.
These studies are expected to take 12-18 months, with the results being used to prepare the draft EIS.
Some studies that involve taking samples of air quality, baseline noise levels, ecology surveys or water quality sampling, will be undertaken throughout the study area and on the preferred alignment.
Other studies will involve the following surveys: groundwater, soils and geology, cultural heritage, transport, social and socio-economic, land use, and landscape and visual amenity.
Not all of these studies require field work, as some can be done using existing data. Information about the type of activities to be conducted is provided in more detail with any land access negotiations, including anticipated timeframes, hours of work, types of equipment and vehicles to be used.
Yes. Access to property is by agreement only and requires ARTC to secure a signed Property Access Form by agreement with the landowner. Times for the various investigations will need to be agreed upon with the landowner prior to the required access.
This will vary from property to property depending upon the nature of the studies proposed to be undertaken. The property team will discuss these details with you during their initial discussions.
Typically, information from studies will be available when the draft EIS is published.
The project team has been in contact with all directly impacted landowners since early 2016 and sent letters to stakeholders within the study corridor. If you would like to know more about where your property lies within the project area, contact the project team.
No. This process is ongoing and will continue to be managed by the Department of Transport and Main Roads (TMR) . Information about this process is on TMR's website. The acquisition of land may be by private treaty (by agreement with the landowner) or by compulsory acquisition (or resumption).
Inland Rail crosses three states with differing rail noise management regimes. To ensure a consistent approach across the three states as well as meeting state specific requirements, ARTC is in the process of preparing an overarching noise management strategy, which will be publicly available. Detailed field investigations will be undertaken as part of the EIS and these will be used to develop a specific noise mitigation strategy. There are multiple treatments options available to mitigate noise and these will be investigated during the next phase of the project.
While ARTC is responsible for the construction and maintenance of Inland Rail, its users will be private operators. The operator will manage coal dust in accordance with Queensland Government legislative requirements.
We intend to maintain the existing coal dust mitigation measures currently employed in Queensland as a minimum standard.
Typically, this includes:
washing coal and sections of coal wagons
profiling or flattening the coal load within the wagons
applying a veneer to coal loads to prevent dust from being released.
ARTC will conduct air quality monitoring to understand existing air quality and the operational impacts on Inland Rail. This will allow us to understand whether dust mitigation measures are effective.
Fauna crossing options and locations will be examined in detail during the EIS phase.
ARTC is aware that flooding is a key concern for communities along the alignment and we will be conducting detailed investigations throughout the EIS process. This includes working with local governments to obtain their flood data to help inform our flood models. These flood models will be made public to allow the community to provide their input and we are keen to receive any information you may have on flooding in your areas. We will also be working with individual landowners within the study area to 'ground truth' the modelling.
Please contact the project team at any time by:
Email: inlandrailqld@artc.com.au
Website: www.inlandrail.com.au
As ARTC will obtain important flood information throughout the EIS phase, as part of the planning of the project we value your input and would greatly appreciate any flooding information that you may have and are happy to share with us.
A comprehensive hydrology assessment will be undertaken in order to develop the EIS. The EIS will describe the existing environment, the potential impacts of the project and the required mitigation measures relating to flooding and the flood immunity of the rail line itself.
A train movement is a journey in one direction only. For example, a train making a return trip between Calvert to Kagaru will have made two movements.
The current figures estimate a gradual increase in the number of trains using Inland Rail from when the line becomes operation in 2025, with a forecast of approximately 40 train movements per day by 2040. However, this next phase of investigations will include detailed operational modelling to provide updated figures for inclusion in the EIS based on market forecasts.
Each road/rail intersection will be assessed on an individual basis using the mandated safety assessment tools. It would be reasonable to expect that major road crossings would be grade separated, while smaller crossings on public roads might be controlled by signals and boom gates. This will be determined during the Environmental Impact Statement.
Grade separation is when the rail and the road cross one another at different elevations or levels. This is typically done by constructing a bridge.
ARTC will ensure an appropriate level of access is maintained for landowners across existing crossings or through their property should it be affected by the rail corridor.
In some cases, we may need to look at rationalising existing crossings – reduce several crossings to one or create shared crossings with access easements for adjoining properties. This will be assessed on a case-by-case basis once we have a proposed alignment and in consultation with the relevant landowners and users.
Train speed at each level crossing location will differ, depending on the surrounding environment. A 1.8km train travelling at 60 kilometres per hour will take approximately 1.8 minutes to pass through a level crossing.
Trains using the railway line will initially be 1.8 kilometre long when the project is operational. The 3.6 kilometre trains are not expected to operate before 2040.
Proposed crossing loops for the project will not be constructed across public roads, therefore other than when trains are required to pass through these locations no level crossings are anticipated to be impacted. Road and rail interfaces will be examined in greater detail during the EIS for the project.
The width of the corridor is dependant on several factors including design and terrain and will be between 40-60m wide.
It is anticipated that structures will be up to 15m high. Please note that the detailed design has to be confirmed in the next phase of works and is informed by the result of our field investigations.
We encourage you to be involved in the development of this project and invite all landowners and the community to contact the project team at any time, to share your knowledge and provide feedback about the project.
ARTC will provide regularly updated information both in traditional and digital formats. We would encourage everyone who is interested in receiving such updated information to register your contact details with the project team.
Yes. ARTC Inland Rail is committed to working with state and local governments, landowners and communities as a vital part of our planning process for this project, including engineering requirements. Please make sure your current contact details are registered with the project team if you would like to be updated.
Construction will commence once all the necessary approvals are obtained and a detailed design is complete. Construction is anticipated to start in 2021 at the earliest and will take approximately 3 years to construct.
The project team is in discussions with local and state government about the project including impacts to neighbouring infrastructure.
It is envisaged that the land will be owned by the Queensland Government and leased to ARTC. ARTC will operate and maintain the infrastructure. ARTC will manage the railway and interaction with the customers.

As part of the May 2017 Budget the Federal Government announced an additional $8.4 billion funding commitment to deliver Inland Rail, via an equity investment in ARTC. The Government also announced that the 126km section from Toowoomba to Kagaru in Queensland will be delivered through a Public Private Partnership (PPP). This will enable the Government to manage risk, drive value and leverage private sector expertise in design, finance, build and maintenance.
The Inland Rail project is responsible for constructing the rail line. When the SFRC was protected it was a State Government project and took into account the State constructing an intermodal terminal in the Ebenezer Industrial Area. We are working closely with the State Government and the line will take into account the possible future construction of an intermodal facility.
The line at Kagaru incorporates a Southern fork to allow customers to utilise the SCT intermodal facilities in Bromelton. While ARTC has purchased land there, any planned works are not currently part of the project.
This activity is not currently proposed as part of the project.

Dr. Richmond's current work centers on lead poisoning in children and involves assessment of environmental regulation to effectively protect public health, including the effectiveness of regulations for air pollutants, and protection of children against lead toxicity.
Approximately 500,000 children in the United States between the ages of 1 and 5 suffer from lead poisoning as a result of lead in their blood above the level for which public health action is recommended.
When Dr. Richmond visited by phone from her home near Boston, Massachusetts, on October 19, 2014, she began with a description of the issues surrounding lead poisoning.
The book Dr. Martha Richmond recommends is "Lead Wars: The Politics of Science and the Fate of America's Children," by Gerald Markowitz and David Rosner.
Lack of trust is the topic of this edition of Radio Curious, the second of a two part series with Ron Arkin and John Kirchiro.
Ron Arkin is a Family Empowerment Facilitator with Mendocino County, California, Child Protective Services. John Kirchiro spent 13 years working as a Crisis Counselor, Intervention Specialist and Substance Abuse Counselor in multiple school districts throughout Mendocino County before becoming the Director and Principal of the Willits, California, Charter School, Grades 6 to 12.
Their counseling work focuses on youth from families where abuse of drugs and alcohol is common, often among both the parents and children. This abuse frequently results in serious family dysfunction and lack of trust, making school and home life more than difficult.
In part one, recorded on March 21, 2014, we began with John Kirchiro's description of the substance abuse problem in rural northern Mendocino County.
The book Ron Arkin recommends is "YOU: The Owner's Manual: An Insider's Guide to the Body That Will Make You Healthier and Younger," by Michael F. Roizen and Mehmet C. Oz.
The book John Kirchiro recommends is "The Reinvention of Work: A New Vision of Livelihood for Our Time," by Matthew Fox.

Gun reform plan gets key Republican support in US Senate
The bill includes support for state 'red flag' laws and tougher background checks for firearms buyers under age 21.
A bipartisan group of United States senators, including enough Republicans to overcome the chamber's "filibuster" rule, has announced an agreement on a framework for potential gun safety legislation.
Ten Republicans signalled their support for the preliminary deal on Sunday, indicating the measure potentially could advance to a vote on passage and overcome roadblocks by other Republicans who oppose most gun control measures.
The talks that led to the framework followed a series of high-profile mass shootings in the US, including one at a school in Uvalde, Texas last month that killed 19 young children and one also in May in a Buffalo, New York supermarket that killed 10 Black victims.
Al Jazeera's Rosiland Jordan, reporting from Washington, DC, said that although the final text has not been revealed, the Republican and Democratic senators negotiating the proposal have released some of the highlights.
"It includes providing funding for states to conduct so-called red flag checks on people for mental health reasons or other reasons," she said,
"It would also include expanded background checks for people between the ages of 18 and 21, so that their criminal records can be searched before younger than 18. That is a first."
However, no other limits that Democrats and President Joe Biden had advocated for – such as raising the age for buying semiautomatic rifles to 21 or new limits on assault-style rifles – were included.
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, a Democrat, issued a statement calling the plan "a good first step" and one that would "limit the ability of potential mass shooters to quickly obtain assault rifles by establishing an enhanced background check process for gun purchasers under age 21".
Schumer said he wanted to move a bill quickly to a Senate vote once legislative details are worked out.
The US has the highest rate of firearms deaths among the world's wealthy nations. But it is a country where many cherish gun rights, and the US Constitution's Second Amendment protects the right to "keep and bear arms".
"Our plan saves lives while also protecting the constitutional rights of law-abiding Americans," the group of senators, led by Democrat Chris Murphy and Republican John Cornyn, said in a statement. "We look forward to earning broad, bipartisan support and passing our common-sense proposal into law."
Widespread rallies
The agreement was announced a day after tens of thousands in Washington and in hundreds of other places across the US rallied to demand that lawmakers pass legislation aimed at curbing gun violence.
Biden on June 2 called for banning the sale of assault weapons and high-capacity magazines, or, if that were not possible, raising the minimum age to buy those weapons to 21 from 18. Biden also pressed for repealing the liability shield that protects gun manufacturers from being sued for violence perpetrated by people carrying their guns.
The National Rifle Association, an influential gun rights group closely aligned with Republicans, called Biden's proposals an infringement on the rights of law-abiding gun owners.
Republican opposition has been critical in thwarting Democratic-backed gun control proposals in Congress for decades.
The Senate is split, with 50 Democrats and 50 Republicans, and legislation must have 60 votes to overcome a filibuster – a manoeuvre that prevents or delays action in a legislative assembly.

\section{Introduction}
Dynamical interaction of multiple objects is common in physics and astronomy.
It occurs over a huge range of scales from atoms in molecules to galaxies.
If we know the interaction potential, then it is possible in principle
to calculate the evolution of such a system. As is well known, systems
of this kind tend to be chaotic, and
so is the solution of the three-body problem \citep{pri,aar}.

\begin{figure*}
   \includegraphics[width=1.8\columnwidth, angle=-90]{Lehto1.ps}
 \caption{The life time of gravitational three body systems containing all
possible of orbits that were initially at rest.
The initial configuration of the three body system is such that
one star is located at $(0,0)$, the second one at $(1,0)$, and
the third one at a coordinate $(x,y)$.
The colour pixel at $(x,y)$ shows then the time elapsed from the initial
configuration to the disintegration of the system under Newtonian gravitation.
Red denotes short lived systems, decaying within one crossing time,
orange systems decaying before two crossing times, etc.
The dark blue colours represent systems with the
longest lifespans (over 13 initial crossing times).
The pixel size is $1.25\cdot 10^{-3}.$ The image of the complete
shield is symmetric, because we start with all
three objects at rest. Note the wide resonant bands causing a rapid
disintegration of the system. Also note how narrower bands abound
between wide bands.}
\label{FigShield}
\end{figure*}

The two body problem in a Newtonian gravitational potential is simple
enough to be solvable in a closed form. Adding a third body to the system
complicates matters by producing, in general, non-analytic solutions.
Over a century ago \citep{poi}
realized the chaotic nature of the few body system, but only with
the advance of computer power and more sophisticated algorithms has it been
possible to give more quantitative statements in the three body problem
\citep{heg,mik94,aar}.

Here we introduce a simple way to illustrate and study the fractal nature of
the general three body system. The method we describe provides an important
tool for visual and qualitative studies of the three body problem.
It allows us to handle and analyze {\it all\/} possible three body configurations
within our computational accuracy. The results visualised in this manner
do not suffer of projection effects.
With this method it is also easy to extend our study to include
the influence of different initial conditions such as different velocities
or masses. These extentions will help us understand the chaotic nature of
the three body systems both in much greater detail and in a more
comprehensive way. We also discuss shortly the numerical sensitivity of
general three-body problem and show that this may indicate the presence of the Arrow
of Time within these systems.

\section{Decay time-scale and fractality}
\begin{figure*}
   \includegraphics[width=1.0\columnwidth]{Lehto2.ps}
 \caption{The life time of gravitational three body systems, a zoomed in image
of Fig. \ref{FigShield}. The pixel size here is $2.5\cdot 10^{-4}$.
Colours as in Fig. \ref{FigShield}.
Note how this region appears quite 'stable' in Fig. \ref{FigShield},
yet in this
image it has broken into hundreds of narrow bands of instability.
Note that the large yellow area breaks into three major parts. This is a
universal feature for the loops. They correspond to the different object
being ejected from the system. The point where these three parts meet is
a triple collision point. The boundary of the yellow area is sharp
from inside. If one approaches the boundary from the outside one encounters
a number of orbits growing in density and stability as one approaches the
sharp boundary.}
   \label{FigZoom1}
\end{figure*}

We have considered the simplest initial state in an equal mass three-body
system under Newtonian gravitation. The calculations start at rest
and have no angular momentum. We have used in our calculations
a fully chain-regularized Bulirsch-Stoer integrator
\citep{mik90,mik93,mik96}.

\begin{figure*}
   \includegraphics[width=1.75\columnwidth]{Lehto3.ps}
   \caption{The life time of gravitational three body systems, a zoomed image
of Fig. \ref{FigZoom1} showing the smaller details. The pixel size here is
$3.125\cdot 10^{-6}$.
The colour scale is linear and is extended to 20 crossing times. The dark
blue colours show orbits that have not disintegrated in 20 crossing times.
The light green band in the right upper corner of this image corresponds
to a disintegration in about 7 crossing times.}
   \label{FigZoom2}
\end{figure*}

To visualize our simulations we use an extended version of an homology
map \citep{age}. In this
coordinate system one body resides initially at $(0,0)$, the second one
is at $(1,0)$ and the third one is at $(x,y)$.  A shield shaped
area contains all possible values of $(x,y)$, spanning
in abscissa from 0.0 to 1.0 and in ordinate from $-\sqrt{3}/2$ to
$\sqrt{3}/2\approx 0.866.$ A three body configuration can thus be
unambiguously specified by a single point in this map.
The unit time-scale of our ($G=1$) system is
$t={1\over 2\pi}{\left(R/ 1\rm AU\right)}^{3/2} \left({M/ M_{\sun}}\right)^{-1/2}\,\rm years,$
where $R$ is the longest separation of the initial triangle and $M$ is the
mass of the objects.

Except for a few double or triple collision points \citep{ume}, all
our three-body systems will eventually break up.
The escaping body will have a non-negative total orbital energy. To define
the breakup time of the system we also require that the escaping body
must be at a distance of $r\ge 1$ from both remaining bodies.
This is necessary because during strong interactions the total energy of a
body may, as expected, become momentarily highly positive.

Because the escaping body often has only a mildly
positive energy and because the quantity we measure is time (the conjugate
coordinate of energy in phase space), our measurement is in some respect
analogous to a phase space cross-section of a triple system.

The lifetime of the system may now be plotted as a function of the initial
configuration.
A complicated structure emerges (Fig. \ref{FigShield}). As a curiosity, the overall
pattern shows a nice resemblance with a traditional African Maasai warrior shield
\citep{hun}. Since we consider an equal mass system, there is a left-right
symmetry in the diagram. The non-zero initial velocity, eg. for the third body
will in general break the up-down symmetry.

\subsection{Resonances}
On the largest scales the following
regions of instability can be identified. A configuration initially close
to an isosceles triangle (1:1 resonance) is generally highly unstable
(the vertical red band close to the vertical symmetry line of the map).
Systems close to odd-digit
orbital resonances  (1:3, 1:5, 1:7 etc) are highly unstable, because a very
close approach takes place at the first close triple encounter. These are the
bands growing denser towards the left and the right corners of the map.
Note also the branching of the 1:7 and higher order resonances.
Furthermore, resonances 1:2, 1:4 etc. are completely missing, because
the phase in these cases is not favorable at the first close encounter
to a rapid break-up of the system \citep{sas}.
Systems breaking up due to the second close interaction show up as
long orange arcs. The family of these arcs starts from the central part of the map and
extends towards the edges of the map.  A second system of arcs
between the previous set and the 1:3 resonance
is also due to the odd resonances at the second encounter.
A band due to similar resonances (nearly vertical bands) can be seen at
the edge of the 1:1 resonance.

All the major resonances appear to
avoid a sea of apparent tranquility around the surroundings of
$(x,y)=(0.7, 0.5)$ and the corresponding points in the other quarters
of the shield.

\subsection {Local structure}
Locally the boundaries of these resonance regions are sharp from the
inside. Approaching the boundary from outside one encounters ever denser
loops and stripes. This structure appears selfsimilar and locally fractal.

Areas of higher stability are also present in Fig \ref{FigShield}. These fall into two
categories. The first set are isolated deep trenches on large scales at
about $(0.70, 0.64)$ and $(0.65, 0.15)$ and at respective symmetric
points of the shield. The second set better visible on small scales
are configurations just outside some instability regions e.g. around the
upper branch of the 1:7 resonance at (0.90, 0.23) or below the yellow eye at
$(0.75, 0.60)$ and the
corresponding symmetric points.

Figures \ref{FigZoom1} and \ref{FigZoom2} show progressive levels of zooming into these areas.
Figure \ref{FigZoom2} represents a 5 by 5 pixel area in the lower left corner of
Figure \ref{FigZoom1}. The width of the strips seen in
Figure \ref{FigZoom2} is comparable to the resolution
element or $3.125\cdot 10^{-6}$. These stripes are more easily seen if the
image is viewed at a small angle. It is clear that a tiny change in
the initial conditions may cause a substantial difference in the
lifetime and in the evolution of the system. Further details of the orbital
behavior within these areas is beyond the scope of this paper, except
that we may state that these configurations appear to be more stable.

\begin{figure}
   \includegraphics[width=1.0\columnwidth]{Lehto4.eps}
   \caption{The number fraction of recovered and unrecovered
orbits as a function of required accuracy $\delta$. At
around $\delta = 10^{-5}$ one come to the limit of decimals in the result
 files.}
   \label{deltafig}
\end{figure}

\subsection {Global fractality}
To investigate the ratio of stable (locally homogeneous) regions to
the chaotic regions we compared, $t_{\rm o}$, the ejection time of an orbit
to $t_{\rm med}$, the median of 8 nearby orbits located on a rectangular grid
with total width of $3.75\cdot 10^{-3}$. The eight configurations are
separated by $\epsilon=\pm 1.25\cdot 10^{-3}$ in each of the $x$ and $y$
coordinates from the initial point.

If $|t_{\rm med}-t_{\rm o}|\le 0.5,$ we considered the point to have an locally
homogeneous neighbourhood. Otherwise it was considered to have high sensitivity
to initial conditions, a characteristic of chaos. Of the 21\,699 cases
compared in this manner 6212, or $p_\epsilon=28.6$ per cent were in locally
homogeneous.
The remaining 71.4 per cent of positions turned out to be highly sensitive to initial
conditions at this resolution implying that on the scale of
$\epsilon=1.25\cdot 10^{-3} $ the fractal area covers about
71.4 per cent of all the systems.
The implication of this is that if one is able to determine the initial state
of a triple system to an accuracy of $\epsilon$, one will, with the stated
probability, be unable to tell the time-scale of the ejection of the third body
to within half a crossing time.

\begin{figure}
   \includegraphics[width=1.0\columnwidth,angle=0]{Lehto5.eps}
   \caption{An example of a time symmetric orbit. The
 orbit is calculated first from free-fall position to escape (part not shown here) and then
correctly back in time to the original free-fall situation which is found at
$t=3.6$ and indicated by an arrow. Finally the integration was
continued until the system breaks up again at $t=7.2$.}
   \label{FigSym}
\end{figure}
\begin{figure}
    \includegraphics[width=1.0\columnwidth,angle=0]{Lehto6.eps}
    \caption{An example of an orbit which is asymmetric with
respect to time. This orbit is also traced back to its free-fall moment
 at $t=15.8$ (marked with long arrow) but the motion after this differs
from the previous history at $t=18.6$ (marked with two arrows) leading
in this case dramatically different break up.}
   \label{FigAsym}
\end{figure}

If our image is fractal one should find more and more (local) order as one
decreases the resolution element. This will be difficult to do due to
restrictions in computation time. We can increase the resolution and
see if the amount of local homogeneity decreases in a self similar way.
For bin sizes 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 10 times the original one we find a
decrease in local homogeneity, $p_\epsilon,$
28.6, 16.8, 14.9, 13.8, 13.5 and 8.6 per cent, respectively.
To within measurement errors $p_\epsilon \propto \epsilon^{-0.5}$.
We find the same exponent if we study the detailed areas shown in Figures
\ref{FigZoom1} and \ref{FigZoom2}. The Hausdorff dimension \citep{hau} of our image is thus
$$D_{\rm H}=1.5.$$

\begin{figure*}
   \includegraphics[width=2.0\columnwidth,angle=0]{Lehto7.eps}
   \caption{The homology map for most recovered orbits. The structure
of the map is very similar to the one obtained by ejection times in
Fig. \ref{FigShield}. Here the colour
indicates $\xi$, the amount of time symmetry, for each orbit. Notice how
this value tend to increase when initial configuration depart from the
resonance bands.}
   \label{FigMapSymAsym}
\end{figure*}

\section {Time reversal and the Arrow of Time}
The initial conditions we choose for our systems have the important
mathematical property that the orbits we calculate are time symmetric
with respect to the origin.  This implies that the triple systems we
calculate are transient in the sense that the body expelled
must have been once captured by the very same bodies forming the final
binary system (and even in the very same phase but with an opposite sign!).
Physically this is not quite true, because even a small disturbance to the
system would cause the system to loose this property. This also implies that
a simple time reversal at the time of escape will not be a useful indicator
of the errors involved in these calculations.

It is possible that the initial conditions are not recovered by
two reasons: the calculations may not be accurate enough, and
errors accumulate to the extent where the initial conditions are missed on the way back.
The second possibility is that the calculation is accurate enough, but
the individual system is so sensitive that it is practically impossible
to find the initial conditions again. See \citet{aar} for a
discussion of predictable and non-predictable orbits.

To ensure independence from the method our calculations were done with
two different
methods. The method uses a code consisting of a Bulirsch-Stoer
integrator with the chain regularization algorithm \citep{mik93}. The
second code uses a simple leapfrog integrator to logarithmic
Hamiltonian \citep{mik99}. Results obtained are in
agreement but in analysis we prefer the latter code because of its
constant stepsize.

The orbits were calculated in few stages. First a forward
integration was carried out until one of the bodies escapes. Here one
should notice that criterion for recognizing an escape is not trivial.
An escape is suspected if the ratio between the
semi-major axis of one body orbit and the semi-major axis of
the binary (i.e. two bodies close to each other) is large enough. We
have selected this ratio to be 100. In addition to this requirement
the system has to fulfil one of the two following conditions. An
escape is identified if the third body is on an hyperbolic orbit
\emph{and} is moving away from the binary. Alternatively, if one of the bodies
gets so far that the ratio exceeds $\ge 2000$ we consider this an escape,
even though a proper hyperbolic orbit is not present. These escape
criteria follow \citet{ano}, which includes also a list of
different possible escape criteria. We have also tried smaller values
for the escape criteria with no apparent effect on our results.

At the second stage the escape
velocities were reversed and a reverse orbit was calculated until the
system reached its initial conditions again. After that the simulation
has carried on until the system breaks up again.

The definition of when the initial conditions has been recovered
depends on the accuracy of
the computer and software. We find that by using double precision we can
expect results to be correct at least with accuracy $\sim 10^{-7}$. To
avoid rounding errors we consider only five significant digits. Therefore
we require that the separation between original initial state and its
recovered counterpart must be less than $\delta = \pm 5.0 \cdot
10^{-5}$. The choice of this limit
affects naturally the ratio of the recovered and unrecovered
orbits. The ratio is shown in Figure \ref{deltafig} where different values of $\delta$ has been
applied to the dataset.

If one would have an infinite accuracy one would obtain an orbit where
the motion is exactly the same before and after the
free-fall moment -- in the other words the orbit is time symmetric.
This is a fact which is based on the equations of motion.
However, in most cases in our numerical calculations this is not the case even though the
free-fall moment can be recovered: most orbits actually
forget their past after the free-fall moment producing an asymmetrical
time evolution. This difference is illustrated with examples in Figure
\ref{FigSym} for time symmetric and Fig. \ref{FigAsym} for time asymmetric orbits. We define a new quantity
$\xi$ as time ratio of the a recovered part to the orbit's time of
disruption $t_{\rm tot}$. If $\xi=1$ the orbit is exactly the same in
the past and in future from the free-fall
moment. In Fig. \ref{FigMapSymAsym} the value of $\xi$ is presented for each
orbit identified by its initial position on the homology map. The
orbits marked by pink colour represent the totally symmetrical evolution while other
colours indicate binned values of $\xi$ for asymmetric orbits. In red
pixels the length of the symmetric
part is between $0.45-0.60$ of $t_{\rm tot}$. In the yellow pixels symmetry
covers $0.6-0.9$ of $t_{\rm tot}$ and
at the blue pixels the orbit is over 90 but less than 100 per cent
symmetric. The white areas -- distributed quite equally
everywhere on the map outside the resonances -- loose their symmetry
faster than within $0.45$ of $t_{\rm tot}$ or they represent cases where the
orbit has not been recovered. The bins for $\xi$ in Fig.
\ref{FigMapSymAsym} are based on the distribution of orbits in Figure
\ref{FigTbs} which we will discuss later.

According to Fig. \ref{FigMapSymAsym} one will find the exactly time
symmetric behaviour within resonance areas where orbits have
relatively short lifetimes. But is there any relation between the
lifetime of the asymmetric orbits and
their sensitivity to the numerical errors? This question is answered
in Figure \ref{FigTbs} where we present the amount of
symmetry, $\xi$, as a function of disruption time of the system. It appears that the
population of asymmetric orbits are divided into two, partially
overlapping, groups. Both of these groups have distinctive functional
form $\xi_i(t_{\rm tot}) = a_i t_{\rm tot}^{-n_i}+b_i$ and these sets appear to have quite
sharp edges on the minimum side. Population I ($\xi \ga 0.45$) seems to be direct continuum of time symmetric
orbits ($\xi = 1$) while the lower edge of the curve
has approximately parameters $a_1=0.5, n_1=0.7$ and $b_1=0.47$. These orbits appear to be located
just outside the resonance areas on the homology map and the value of $\xi$
increases when the initial configuration moves farther from the
resonance bands.

\begin{figure}
   \includegraphics[width=1.2\columnwidth,angle=0]{Lehto8.eps}
   \caption{The homology map for recovered orbits with $\xi \le 0.45$.
These orbits do not form any grouping as seen for higher values of
$\xi$ in Fig. \ref{FigMapSymAsym}.}
   \label{FigMap045}
\end{figure}

Most orbits however belong to population II ($0<\xi<1$) which is quite equally
distributed over the homology map, clearly further from the resonance bands. The
lower limit of $\xi$ in this population obeys approximate relation
$a_2=2.5, n_2=0.9$ and $b_2=0$. On the homology map
(Fig.\ref{FigMap045}) this population is strongly intermixed
with non-recovered orbits but the latter ones do not show any
clear functional form for $\xi = \xi(t_{\rm tot})$.

\begin{figure}
   \includegraphics[width=1.0\columnwidth,angle=0]{Lehto9.eps}
   \caption{The symmetricity, $\xi$, of the orbit as a function of the
lifetime. The functional forms $\xi_1(t_{\rm tot})$ and $\xi_2(t_{\rm tot})$ for two distinctive populations of
time asymmetric orbits are also shown (see text). Totally time symmetric orbits
form short horizontal line at $\xi = 1$.}
   \label{FigTbs}
\end{figure}

We have found out that even in quite a simple dynamical system such the
classical equal-mass free-fall three-body problem, actually the Arrow
of Time shows up. Considering the analytical point of
view the autonomous form (i.e. no explicit time dependency)
of the equations of motion and the lack of dissipation suggest that
this arrow would not be there if we could solve the problem exactly.
However, in nature totally unperturbed systems do not exist and even a
minute perturbation, just like a small computing error, is adequate to
define a definite sense of time.

How do we find out what is the forward sense of time in the three-body
problem? The answer is provided by the concept of entropy again. Not
the classical Boltzmann entropy, but Kolmogorov-Sinai entropy
\citep{kol,sin}. This
concept of entropy applies to small systems. It is related to the
change of the volume of phase space occupied by systems which are
initially very close to each other. It measures the loss of
information about the initial conditions or the growth of disorder as
time goes on. We have previously shown that Kolmogorov-Sinai entropy
increases with time in the three-body problem, and that it thus tells
us what is future, and what is past \citep{hei}. The
Kolmogorov-Sinai entropy increases towards future time.

There are other examples of determining the sense of time in the
three-body problem. In three-body scattering a single body collides
with a binary, and after some orbital evolution, one of the bodies
escapes and leaves again a binary. Let us say that the initial binary
has zero eccentricity. The final binary has an eccentricity $e$ that
follows the distibution $f(e)=2e$
\citep{jea,heg}. Thus the probability
that the final binary escapes with zero eccentricity is zero. In a
diagram depicting such a scattering event \citep{hut}
it is immediately clear which is the direction of orbital motion even
if it is not indicated. Although some of our orbits perform time
symmetric past and future they resemble a minority in our ensemble and
it is somewhat reasonable to consider the Arrow of Time in the universe as a
statistical quantity. One may also ask if these time symmetric orbits
really appear at all in true nature where small perturbations are
always present.

The microscopic world consists of many small subsystems similar to the
classical three-body system. It is our conjecture that our conclusions
would apply also to such systems, and that Kolmogorov-Sinai entropy
would actually provide the Arrow of Time for the microworld.

There have previously been a number of papers cosidering a relation between the
Kolmogorov-Sinai entropy and the Boltzmann thermodynamic entropy.
These studies, which have been done in other fields of physics. They have
either tried to address the relation between these
two quantities, albeit such relation still remains unknown,
\citep{lat,bar} or attempted to find a direct equivalence between the
dynamical instability and the
thermodynamic irreversibility \citep{els,yuk,rui}. If these
relations indeed exist, they endorse our conclusion.

\section {Noise estimates}
Since noise estimates are difficult to perform in these kinds of systems.
We followed the simpler practice of reducing the integration step
by a factor of 2. We noticed only a slight sharpening in the boundaries, but no
qualitative differences nor any unexpected quantitative differences.

A second strong test we have performed is for the robustness of the method.
We ran a na\"\i ve simulation with non-regularized equations of motion but
with a short variable steps of integration. The code is very
different in nature from our main code. Yet the results are very similar
showing the main resonant structures.
On small scales similar fractal-like patterns appear as with our main code.

\section {Discussion}
The results from \citet{hei} and \citet{ano}, suggested that
a homology triangle-like representation is an ideal means to describe
the evolution or the final solutions of a triple system, and that it would
show structure both due to global and local sensitivity to initial conditions.
The geometry of escape times which we have calculated shows rich structure
featuring resonance bands at various levels and areas of apparent higher
stability as well as areas with clearly a fractal structure.

The time-scales in question for solar mass objects and an intial length scale of
$R=1\,\rm pc$ correspond to $t \sim 1.6\cdot 10^7 \,\rm{years}.$
The implication is that triple stellar systems forming initially
from distant stars may still be in a multiple system after a few tens of
million years (the blue areas in Figure \ref{FigShield} imply time-scales
$>1.6 \cdot 10^8 \,\rm{years}$).
On the other hand one would expect stars being ejected by this method
from young systems to form loose associations at the latest in about
a ten million years. If the stars were closer ($R=0.1\,\rm pc$) then the
breakup times would be a factor 30 shorter. On the other hand if the stars
were not initially at rest then these time-scales are likely to be somewhat
longer based on previous work (see e.g. \citet{sas,val}).

Galaxies at distances of $\sim 1\,\rm Mpc$, and with masses
$M\sim 50\cdot 10^9 \rm M_{\sun}$ have a typical time-scale of $10^{10.5}$ years,
so these are expected to be still these initial orbits, even if they
were near the resonance configuration.

Greenwood is shooting for a July 20 date to begin fluoridating its drinking water, a move mandated by the state.
The city initially hoped to begin fluoridating its water by April 1, but had to wait on a prefabricated building to house the necessary equipment at the city's water treatment plant. The operation was inspected Thursday by the state health department.
"They had to do just a check to make sure everything was correct," wastewater department director Greg Cross said. "I think we're actually going to start putting it in on July 20."
Greenwood serves nearly 9,000 water customers, according to the wastewater department. In 2011, Arkansas legislators passed a law requiring water systems serving 5,000 or more customers to fluoridate their public water when funding became available. Like other cities, Greenwood is using a grant from Delta Dental of Arkansas Foundation to fund the fluoridation effort. The city received $124,000 to cover startup costs.
More than 70 percent of the city's water is purchased from the James Fork Regional Water District, which already fluoridates, according to Cross. In February, he said the amount of fluoride when mixed with the city's own water is not enough to meet state standards.
Steve Ratterree, chairman of the city's water/wastewater commission, said the city is notifying city water customers of the change via monthly bills. The fluoridation law, Act 197, affects 34 Arkansas water systems, according to the Arkansas Department of Health. The city of Fort Smith is preparing to fluoridate its drinking water in early 2016.
Nearly a year ago, the Fort Smith Board of Directors accepted a $1.8 million grant from Delta Dental for the fluoridation effort at the city's two water treatment plants. Fort Smith is the largest city in the state without fluoridated water. City voters turned down fluoridation twice in popular votes in the 1970s and in 1992.

You are here: HomeInfoNews12 easy ways to get people to like you
Have you ever noticed that some people are instantly likeable? Many people believe that people will only like you because of natural traits you're born with: good looks, talent and sociability. But this is a misconception. Getting people to like you is within your control, and it's all to do with self-belief, knowing yourself and being emotionally intelligent. Here's what to do to be more likeable:
1. Be yourself
If people can see you're honest and genuine, they'll like you. People like those they feel they can trust. It's a challenge to like anyone you think is hiding their true self. If people can see you aren't faking it and are comfortable with who you are, they'll gravitate towards you.
So just be yourself! To support your self-confidence, Bach Flower Mix 44 helps you to believe in yourself and be more comfortable in your skin. Concentrate on stuff that enthuses you and makes you happy. You'll come across as more attractive and likeable than if you try to be something you're not. And if you find that some people don't like the real you: too bad! You'll know that the people who matter like you for who you really are.
2. Talk more
Likeable people often chat away constantly. You never have to wonder what they're really thinking because they explain it in detail, and this puts everyone at ease. If you're an introvert, you may prefer to rely on emails and messages to express your thoughts rather than talking. But if you're not a great communicator, talking more is a skill you can develop.
3. Be a good listener
Talkers are often well-liked, it's true. But listening carefully is equally important. When you're in a conversation, talk, ask a question and then pause for an answer. When you show that you're genuinely curious to learn about someone or something, it makes you more likeable.
4. Ask for help or advice
People like it when you ask them for help or advice. Asking someone for their assistance will often make them like you more because they enjoy being able to provide the right answer.
5. Don't be a know-it-all
On the other hand, no-one likes a know-it-all. One of the reasons for this is that if someone gives the impression they know everything, they won't ever be asking for our help, and as mentioned above, people enjoy being helpful. Know-alls also have an arrogant attitude, and people don't like those who seem to have an unattractive sense of pride.
6. Help someone out with no strings attached
Think about the people you like best. Chances are, they're the ones who are always willing to help you out by fixing your IT problems or proofreading your essay when you're up against a deadline. But be wary: if people think you're being manipulative and helping just to support your own agenda, they'll know you're not genuine.
7. Care about others
Is it possible to develop a caring personality? Being altruistic doesn't always come easily, especially in the social media age where individualism seems to rule. You'll need to set aside your own goals and interests for a time and help others instead. But if you make a genuine effort to care about others, you'll find that people like you more.
8. Play it for laughs
It's hard to dislike someone who jokes about life and takes a lighthearted approach to problems. The most popular people are often those who can make people laugh. Witty banter might not be in your personality, but that doesn't matter. Just let people know that you can see the funny side of things, that you're a person who smiles often and laughs easily. You'll soon get people to like you.
9. Go with the flow
The most likeable people are often those who can lighten up, put aside their own problems and see the bigger picture. Setting too much store by your own concerns is essentially a selfish attitude. Those who selflessly go with the flow will be liked better.
10. Don't be too demanding
Well-liked people are often flexible and don't make too many demands. They'll listen to any genre of music, eat at any restaurant: they'll adjust to the preferences of others without making waves. Their easy-going attitude makes them more likeable. But it's a tricky one: if you take it too far, you'll be seen as a doormat!
11. Compliment other people
Talk about others in a positive way. There's a psychological phenomenon known as" spontaneous trait transference". People come to associate with your own personality words such as "friendly", "helpful" and "warm" that you used in a complimentary way. Researchers found that even when people knew that the person didn't possess the personality traits described, this effect still occurred.
12. Be honest about your weaknesses
While it's important not to play the victim, people will respond favourably if you admit that you're facing a challenge and offer helpful solutions to your challenges. People will spot your weaknesses anyway, and owning up to them will make them like you better.

Competition Analysis is one of the most important things you can do for your digital property. It's important to understand what your competition is doing on the web and what technologies they are using. There are some major categories to consider when you do a competitive analysis.
As you can see you should track if the competition is using video (people like to watch not read), what social media they are using, finding their keywords, backlinks, their woorank score, if they have podcasts, a onsite blog and finally track any notes you make on the site. All of this allows you to design your website to outperform your competition website.
Your digital property is becoming more important than your brick and mortar physical site. As over 80% of consumers today start looking on the web first for their needs and 70% of those are using a mobile device to do so. Also they are shopping for the best companies and deals. So, that is why it's so important to understand what your competition is doing and how to "out fox them" on the web.
We can help with that so the consumer choice is easy… your company over your competition! Give us a call today 714-931-8123 or email to see how we can help you. Or you can go over to our contact us page.


Dalton, Shelby and I made Sister DeJesus's egg rolls tonight for dinner. The kids loved them. I hadn't made them since we lived in Boston five years ago, but Dalton snarfed them up like he did when he was a little four year old boy. We used to call them baby burritos. She taught me to make them. Every time I would come to see her to visit teach her, she'd have a new batch for my friend Christina and I to eat. They were addicting. And she was a pro at making them.
Gosh...I miss her. I miss him- her husband Raul. They were like Dalton's adopted grandparents. Their life was so hard. They had come to America, hoping to send for their young adult children once they were here, but they never could make it happen. Red tape, bad advice from lawyers in the Philippines. Raul and Gertrude got here because Raul had been in the Baton Death March and had fought under the U.S. flag. His war stories were shocking. He could only tell small parts because it was so painful to recall. So every month they sent what little extra money they had back home to their children, who were unemployed and living hand to mouth with their new young families.
Raul and Gertrude had come from sunny and tropical weather but were living in a dark and cold one bedroom apartment where crime was rampant and seven months out of the year the weather was freezing and miserable. They lived only for others..hoping that if they just prayed hard enough the Lord would hear their prayers and reunite their family. Sister DeJesus and Raul laughed when they told the stories of how Sister used to hide in the closet when the Mormon missionaries would come to teach her back in the Philippines. She didn't believe what they were teaching her. But she went along because her husband believed and because she wanted to go to America for a better life.
They were lovely, and life just was not as good for them as it should have been. Eventually they went back to the Philippines. They gave up hoping that they could get their piece of the American Dream. As hopeful as they had been throughout the years, now- in the twilight of their years, they gave up. Thinking that it was better to live in squalor with their family back home, than to live a shell of a life without their children, thousands of miles away, hoping that their sacrifice would make a better life for their children. Raul died a few years after they got home. Thank goodness he was with his children and grandchildren. And I believe that Gertrude followed close behind.
They didn't have a phone in the Philippines. You had to call a neighbor's store, tell them you were looking for the DeJesus's, and then call back so that the store owner could walk to the DeJesus's home to get them. Without their parents social security, I don't know how their kids are making ends meet. They wrote me once or twice, the children, talking about their beloved parents and how grateful they were to have had them home for the end of their lives. I wondered long after if I should have sent money to their children. They never asked for it...they never would have. But now I think they were probably desperately poor and I may have been their only link to financial security back in America.
During her time in Boston, Sister DeJesus would volunteer in the nursery at our church building, where she would hold and baby the little children..so obviously heart broken that she had missed getting to see her own grandchildrens' childhoods. Dalton loved her and she LOVED him. Raul loved Dalton too- always commenting on how athletic and energetic he was. Oh my gosh, I can not even think about it without getting so sad. There we were, these spoiled young newlyweds with our biggest problem being what outfits to wear to church, or which organic apples we were going to puree for our baby's natural applesauce, and there were these hungry and sad people with histories of bitter disappointment who wouldn't want to trouble anyone in the least.
I have regrets. I wish that I would have taken them in and let them be our full time grandparents. I wish that I would have had the maturity to have seen their needs and been there to give them what they needed. I wish that I would have put all the religion aside, and just been there for Gertrude. She didn't buy it. She just needed the friendships...the relationships. Her husband was as converted as they come...at the temple in Belmont every week...walking for a mile in the freezing cold, with snow falling all around him, to make sure that he didn't miss his temple duty and let the giant gleaming building that had been erected just a few years earlier, go to waste. Gertrude stayed home. It wasn't in her heart. She was there to support Raul.. but in her heart she was already dead. Life without her children and grandchildren...how could happiness even exist? And she hardly had a voice. Even after years of living in America, she didn't feel confident speaking the language.
Even now I can feel her pushing a bag of warm egg rolls in to my stomach and forcing me to take them as I am getting ready to leave their house with all the "wisdom" I've just imparted, even though their cupboards were so bare and their apartment so meager, I knew that they had probably spent all their money for the week on that one meal just to love me and impress me. What a young idiot I was.
I remember dropping Raul off at his apartment in South Boston, after I'd picked him up from the temple one night, and someone on his street began to yell at me. Raul, this 85 year old man, who was thin as a rail, with a voice as soft as a feather and with a face as kind as that of a child's, jumped out of the car and confronted the man, distracting him so that I could drive off and avoid the confrontation...with Sister looking down from her window at the street and waiving me off as well.
So, as Dalton and Shelby and Gavin and I are eating the egg rolls tonight, I am teary with the memories of where this recipe came from. Here Shelby was declaring how wonderful the egg rolls were, when I remember Sister holding this very same daughter as a chubby one year old with a desperation of one who has lost her own babies. I remember wondering if we could move them with us back to Utah. I asked her if she'd want to go with us. But her heart was east, in the Philippines, not more west in some dry hot desert state. I miss them...I have regrets.
What a beautiful and tragic story. Regrets. I have many as well. Sometimes life just doesn't make much sense.
I guess all we can do with regrets is learn from them. Grow. Change. And never forget the people who touched our lives in this way.

Ellen Karolina Sophie Key (, * 11. Dezember 1849 auf Herrenhaus Sundsholm, Gemeinde Västervik; † 25. April 1926 im Haus Strand, Gemeinde Ödeshög) war eine schwedische Reformpädagogin und Schriftstellerin.

Leben

Ellen Karolina Sophie Key wurde am 11. Dezember 1849 in Sundsholm (Südschweden) als erstes von sechs Kindern geboren. Ihr Vater, Emil Key (1822–1892), bewirtschaftete ein Rittergut. Ihre Mutter, Sophie Ottiliana Posse (1824–1884), stammte aus einer adligen Familie. Die Eltern widmeten sich der Erziehung ihrer Kinder zugleich liebevoll und streng. Auf Luxus wurde verzichtet. Ellen war den Eltern in der Betreuung der jüngeren Geschwister eine zuverlässige Stütze. Sie besuchte keine Schule, sondern erhielt zu Hause Privatunterricht, unter anderem durch eine deutsche Lehrerin. Ellen interessierte sich lebhaft für Geschichte, Philosophie und schöngeistige Literatur.

Emil Key, der 1867 die schwedische Bauernpartei mitbegründet hatte, wurde 1868 Reichstagsabgeordneter. Die Familie zog nach Stockholm um. Ellen Keys Interesse an politischen und gesellschaftlichen Fragen wuchs. Sie entwickelte einen ausgeprägten Freiheits- und Gerechtigkeitssinn. Im Jahr 1869 erschienen erste Artikel von ihr in einer damals sehr renommierten Frauenzeitschrift, obwohl Ellen Key erst 20 Jahre alt war.

Ellen Key erteilte Kindern an der dörflichen Sonntagsschule Unterricht in Geschichte und Poesie. Ab 1875 unterwies sie an einer Art Volkshochschule junge Damen in Geschichte und Literatur. Außerdem unternahm sie (mit ihrem Vater), auch in den folgenden Jahren, mehrere Reisen, zum Beispiel nach Berlin, Dresden, Kassel, Wien, Paris, Florenz und Venedig.

Im Jahr 1878 musste sie aus finanziellen Gründen eine geregelte Tätigkeit als Lehrerin an einer privaten Schule in Stockholm aufnehmen. Sie unterrichtete dort bis 1898 Mädchen aller Altersstufen. Im Herbst des Jahres 1879 traf sie in London den deutschen Biologen Ernst Haeckel. Dessen Einsatz für die Evolutionstheorie beeinflusste auch spätere Werke von Key zum Thema Pädagogik und Frauen. Ab 1883 arbeitete Ellen Key zugleich bis 1903 als Dozentin für Literatur und Kulturgeschichte am Stockholmer Arbeiterinstitut.

1884 starb ihre Mutter; der Vater erlitt einen Schlaganfall. Ellen Key durchlebte krisenreiche Jahre. Ihr Engagement für Frauen- und Kinderrechte verstärkte sich. Sie sprach häufig vor Arbeiter- und Frauenvereinen. Sie wurde 1885 Vizepräsidentin einer Stiftung für intellektuell und künstlerisch arbeitende Frauen. Im Jahr 1892 starb ihr Vater.

1896 erschien ihre Schrift Mißbrauchte Frauenkraft. In dieser, 1898 auch ins Deutsche übersetzten Abhandlung, äußerte sie die Auffassung, der natürliche Platz einer Frau sei das Haus und ihre einzige Berufung diejenige zur Mutterschaft. Bei entschiedenen Frauenrechtlerinnen stieß sie deswegen vorwiegend auf Ablehnung. 1899 erschienen ihre Essays. Ihre im Jahr 1900 veröffentlichte Schrift Barnets århundrade wurde bald darauf in mehrere Sprachen übersetzt. Das Buch Die Wenigen und die Vielen erschien 1901.

Keys Erfolgsschrift Barnets århundrade kam 1902 in deutscher Übersetzung beim S. Fischer Verlag, Berlin, unter dem Titel Das Jahrhundert des Kindes heraus. Insbesondere in diesem Werk kommt ihre geistige Auseinandersetzung mit dem Darwinismus und der Philosophie von Friedrich Nietzsche zum Ausdruck. Sie vertritt im ersten Kapitel über "Das Recht des Kindes, seine Eltern zu wählen" Ideen, die sie aus dem Darwinismus ableitet und auf Nietzsches "Also sprach Zarathustra" abstützt, die später in nationalsozialistischen Theorien wiederkehren: So die Höherentwicklung des Menschen durch Reinhaltung der Rassen, die bewusste Partnerbildung von gesunden Menschen zur Zeugung gesunder Kinder und schließlich die bewusste Auslese von gesunden Kindern (Euthanasie): "Im Zusammenhang hiermit steht die Entwickelung neuer Rechtsbegriffe auf diesen Gebieten. Während die heidnische Gesellschaft in ihrer Härte die schwachen oder verkrüppelten Kinder aussetzte, ist die christliche Gesellschaft in der »Milde« so weit gegangen, dass sie das Leben des psychisch und physisch unheilbar kranken und missgestalteten Kindes zur stündlichen Qual für das Kind selbst und seine Umgebung verlängert. Noch ist doch in der Gesellschaft – die unter anderem die Todesstrafe und den Krieg aufrechterhält – die Ehrfurcht vor dem Leben nicht gross genug, als dass man ohne Gefahr das Verlöschen eines solchen Lebens gestatten könnte. Erst wenn ausschliesslich die Barmherzigkeit den Tod giebt, wird die Humanität der Zukunft sich darin zeigen können, dass der Arzt unter Kontrolle und Verantwortung schmerzlos ein solches Leiden auslöscht." Durch die deutsche Übersetzung des Buches fanden ihre Ansichten weite Verbreitung.

Ellen Key zog sich 1903 aufs Land, in die Nähe ihrer Geburtsstätte, zurück. Sie pflegte aber weiterhin rege kulturelle, politische und literarische Kontakte – unter anderem mit Rainer Maria Rilke, Martin Buber und Richard von Schaukal – und unternahm noch etliche Reisen ins europäische Ausland, so auch in die Reformkolonie Monte Verità bei Ascona. 1904 erschien ihr Buch Über Liebe und Ehe, 1906 Der Lebensglaube. Betrachtungen über Gott, Welt und Seele, 1907 Rahel. Eine biographische Skizze. Es kam zu einer Begegnung mit Rainer Maria Rilke auf Capri. 1909 veröffentlichte sie die Abhandlung Die Frauenbewegung, 1911 die Schrift Seelen und Werke und 1913 die Schrift Die junge Generation.

Am 25. April 1926 starb Ellen Key am Vätternsee bei Ödeshög im von ihr selbst entworfenen, 1910–1912 erbauten Haus Strand.

Im Jahr 1951 wurde in Wien-Favoriten (10. Bezirk) die Ellen-Key-Gasse nach ihr benannt und im Berliner Ortsteil Friedrichshain wurde 1998 die Ellen-Key-Schule nach ihr benannt. Auch in Graz gibt es eine Schule mit ihrem Namen.

Am 29. Mai 2018 wurde ein Asteroid nach ihr benannt: (18562) Ellenkey.

Q: Display firebase document field to iOS tableview How can one display the data from the Firestore Collections to tableView on Swift?
This code runs (see below) but I want to import directly from the Firestore database instead of hardtyping data:
var habits = [Habit(id: "1", author: "Maiuran", text: "heyhey")]

func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {

    let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: "habitCell", for: indexPath) as! HabitTableViewCell
    cell.set(habit: habits[indexPath.row])
    return cell
}

The code below works to print to the console but not sure how to display the
  let name = Auth.auth().currentUser?.uid

    Firestore.firestore().collection("habits").whereField("author", isEqualTo: name).getDocuments() { (querySnapshot, err) in
       if let err = err {
           print("Error getting documents: \(err)")
      } else {
            for document in querySnapshot!.documents {
                print("\(document.documentID) => \(document.data())")
           }
      }
   }

This is the database: Firestore Database structure
Thank you so much for your time and advice!

A: You have to check user: if user == nil you must login user before.
override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()
    let user = Auth.auth().currentUser
    if user == nil {
        login()
    } else {
        // processing
    }
}

A: Here is a partial solution (now it posts to a given UITextfield so just need to figure out how to post to tableView):
    Firestore.firestore().collection("habits").getDocuments(completion: { (snapshot, error) in

        snapshot!.documents.forEach({ (document) in
            let nametyname = document.data()["author"]
            let street = document.data()["friend"]

            self.myTextiFieldi.text = nametyname as! String
            print(nametyname)
            print(street)
        })
    })
