Dalua Australia, a newcomer to the US market from the Land Down Under, showed the wide range of products they make while attending 2018 MACNA in Las Vegas. It looked like a bunch of good gear, and so I was eager to learn more. Besides being the Australian distributor of a number of products from household brands like Pax Bellum, MRC, and BlueLife, the company is well known in the Australian market for their highly regarded LED lighting and series of media reactors called Hayman. However, the main reason Dalua attended MACNA 2018 as an exhibitor was to show off their new flagship product, a line of protein skimmers with an awesome name only Aussies could come up with- the Great White Skimmer. Let's start with the LED light, called Illumagic Blaze X, as it has some unique features not seen in the panels we are accustomed to here in the US. It is built based on a modular design- the individual LED chips are user replaceable, plus they each feature an interesting, unbreakable silicon lens with a honeycomb pattern that helps in mixing up the individual LED wavelengths coming from the emitter. The light has a built-in Bluetooth module and can be controlled wirelessly via the company's proprietary app, available in Android and iOS versions. There are six different lengths available- a Mini, 2ft, 3 ft, 4 ft, 5ft, and 6ft lengths.
The Great White skimmer can be summarized in just one sentence- a well built, compact monster. The line currently consists of two models, the GW-5 rated for tanks up to 125g, and the GW-10, rated for 250g tanks, with a third, larger model for tanks up to 500g coming soon.
The body of the skimmer, as well as the collection cup, is made out of an injection molded, thick acrylic and has an easy to access base held by four thumbscrews. Inside the body, we have a compactly designed, Italian made Eden pump with a needle wheel style impeller, connected to an unorthodox-looking dispersion bubble plate that has holes pointing towards the collection cup, and also on the sides for maximum contact time and lower overall height of the skimming part of the chamber. The bubble column is regulated via an oversized gate valve with a downward facing discharge outlet, while the intake portion features a Venturi valve connected to a good quality silencer we tend to see in high-end skimmers.
Great White skimmers can also be equipped with optional add-on reactors, like a CO2 scrubber or an air dryer for ozone injection. They are distributed in North America by Unique Corals and come with a quite affordable price tag- $329 for the GW-5 model and $399 for the GW-10. There is good reason to be excited to see new companies from overseas coming to the US, especially when they are from the Coral Capitol of the world. Take a look at what Dalua Australia has to offer by visiting www.daluaaustralia.com.au and stay tuned for my in-depth review of their skimmer, which I am getting later this year.


When the Asia Cup 2018 fixtures were announced, there was a genuine buzz in the air as soon as Indian cricket fans found out about the India-Pakistan game on September 19.
The rivalry between India and Pakistan remains a feisty one, but political tensions between the two countries over the years means clashes between the two sides have been restricted to ICC events only. However, a report in CricketNext indicates that the BCCI is unhappy about having to play against a qualifier just one day before the derby against neighbours Pakistan.
"The scheduling is mindless. There appears to be zero application of mind," a senior BCCI official said according to the CricketNext report.
"This is unacceptable and has to be revisited. Maybe for the organisers it is just a money-spinning game but for us it is important that there be equity in scheduling," the unnamed official added.
Pakistan will also play a match against a qualifier on September 16, but they will get a two-day break to rest and recuperate for the match against India.
By contrast, India will play against a qualifier on September 18 then take to the field the very next day for what is sure to be a much tougher match and with much higher stakes against Pakistan.

In starting square wave UPS are made. The main problem with square wave UPS are many equipements can not run on this type of UPS. This is beacuse of equipements are made to be run on Sinewave supply.
Thus developement of Sine Wave inverter has started.
We can check the output wave form by harmonics testing. Square wave UPS produces more harmonics than sine wave.
Below is the harmonic analysis of square wave UPS.
First Harmonic is 94.9 % of Vrms.
Other harmonics are also high.
3rd harmonic is 15.4% of Vrms.
5th harmonic is lower than 3rd .
7th harmonic is also high and 15% of Vrms.
9th harmonic is 13.1% of Vrms.
11th ,15th and 17th harmonics are also greater than 5%.
First Harmonic is 95.6%of Vrms.
Voltage is decreased by 6 Volts.
5th harmonic is reduced to 3.2%.
7th harmonic is also reduced to 9%.
9th harmonic is reduced to 11%.
11th harmonic is increased to 9.0%.
Other harmonics are less than 5%.
First Harmonic is 91.9 %.
Voltage is decreased by 23 Volts.
3rd harmonic is increased to 30.7%.
5th harmonic is increased to 17.9%.
7th harmonic is increased to 12.3%.
9th harmonic is reduced to 9%.
11th harmonic is reduced to 6.8 %.
13th harmonic is increased to 5.3%.
Harmonics from 25 to 55 are less than 1%.
On low battery THD increases.
THD % of square wave inverter is very high.
As load increases first harmonic decreases.
3rd to 15th harmonics are affected most.
Other harmonics are less than 2%.

The Conservative leadership candidates have a lot in common on policy — and some interesting differences
The four candidates vying for the Conservative leadership will be on stage tonight for the only English-language debate of this campaign. Here are the platforms they're pitching to party members.
The four candidates agree on a lot of things — but not everything

The four candidates vying for the Conservative leadership will be on stage tonight for the only English-language debate of this campaign.
For the two frontrunners — former cabinet ministers Peter MacKay and Erin O'Toole — it's a chance to shore up support and woo party members away from their rivals. For the relative newcomers in the race — Toronto lawyer Leslyn Lewis and rookie MP Derek Sloan — it's an occasion to introduce themselves to people who will pick Andrew Scheer's replacement.
The four contenders agree on many things — reducing the size of government, shrinking the tax burden and cracking down on crime.
All of them have been critical of the Liberal government's firearms policy and plan to repeal much of it. MacKay has said the assault rifle ban was ripped from "a failed playbook of demonizing law-abiding firearms owners." They also want to take a harder line on China's involvement in the Canadian economy.
The leadership hopefuls are also generally aligned on supporting Israel, spending more on the military, reforming the Veterans Affairs department and imposing stiffer penalties on criminals while doing more to support the victims of crime.
MacKay, O'Toole spar over social issues, the environment in French-language debate
O'Toole has said he will invoke the notwithstanding clause to impose mandatory minimum sentences for certain crimes. MacKay has promised to toughen parole eligibility considerations for "the most despicable and heinous crimes."
But the four platforms are hardly carbon copies. There are some notable differences among these candidates on the three issues that have come to the forefront in this leadership race: energy and the environment, social issues and the economy in a post-pandemic world.
The Conservative Party was attacked by its rivals during the last federal election campaign for having what some called a weak climate plan — one that relied heavily on technological innovation and selling natural gas to markets abroad in the hopes that Canada could claim credit for the resulting emissions reductions.
The Liberal plan, in turn, was based on carbon taxes and putting a limit on developments that produce greenhouse gas emissions.
The Conservatives owe much of their current standing in the House of Commons to a very strong showing in Western Canada in the 2019 election — particularly in Alberta and Saskatchewan, where oil and gas extraction is an integral part of the economy.
Scheer cast himself as an unabashed champion of the two oil-producing western provinces and rallied voters to the Conservative cause by denouncing the Liberal-imposed national carbon tax plan and items of legislation, like Bill C-69, that were seen by some as anti-oil.
Scheer also promised to build a national infrastructure corridor that could house pipelines that move oil and gas — an idea that has since been supported by this batch of leadership contenders.
O'Toole, with the support of Alberta Premier Jason Kenney, has presented himself as the best candidate to pick up Scheer's defence of western interests. Polls suggest O'Toole is performing well in those areas.
To blunt that momentum, MacKay has jumped on O'Toole's environmental policy proposals to improve his standing among western voters in this last leg of this leadership race.

In the initial version of his platform, O'Toole promised to end "fossil fuel subsidies," which he called a form of corporate welfare.
After some backlash whipped up by MacKay's backers, O'Toole re-released his platform with the reference to subsidies missing.
While O'Toole has promised to scrap the Liberals' national carbon tax, he has said he would support provinces that choose to enact their own carbon pricing regimes.
He also has committed to "get to net-zero emissions" in the oil and gas sector, something the Liberals also have promised to do nationally by 2050.
O'Toole has said his national environmental plan will focus on "making industry pay" through a "national industrial regulatory and pricing regime across the country."
In response, MacKay said the platform "does not sound like it was written by someone running to be the leader of our Conservative Party."

Former finance minister Joe Oliver, who has been critical of the modern environmental movement and has said Canada could benefit from climate change, jumped on the O'Toole plan. In an email to MacKay supporters, Oliver said an industrial regulatory and pricing regime would be a "dangerous plan for Canada."
"These more intrusive regulations and higher taxes would batter our energy sector, already reeling from hostile policies imposed by a Liberal government determined to transition it out of existence," Oliver said.
O'Toole, however, has not shied away from some of his proposals, saying he can be a champion for the oil and gas industry while also enacting measures to protect the environment.
Sensitive to the criticism the party faced in the last election, O'Toole said the party needs to "present Canadians with a real plan to tackle climate change in the next election."
"The fact that Canadians did not feel we took this issue seriously enough was a big reason why we lost the last election," the Ontario MP said on Twitter.
MacKay's environment plan reads much like what Scheer pitched to voters in the last election — a promise to achieve "advances in technology," invest in "carbon sequestration" and sell Canadian natural gas around the world to displace coal as a source of energy.
"Justin Trudeau does not have a climate plan. He has a taxation plan," MacKay said. "It is unfair to many Canadians and is fundamentally divisive to the federation. More importantly, in a vast country with a cool climate, it won't work."
MacKay called Trudeau's — and O'Toole's — plan to pursue net-zero "aspirational." He said he will "level with Canadians" that the country might not be able to meet its Paris climate targets.
Leslyn Lewis has also borrowed from the Scheer playbook on this file, too, saying she will scrap the carbon tax, tear up Bill C-69 and encourage "green" investments and home renovations.
Derek Sloan, who has released little policy during this campaign, has promised to get rid of Bill C-69 and also C-48, the northern B.C. oil tanker ban legislation.
MacKay, the former leader of the now-defunct Progressive Conservative party, has presented himself as a social moderate.
In 2006, he was one of only a handful of cabinet ministers to vote against his own government's resolution to restore the traditional definition of marriage.
After the last election, MacKay said Scheer's embrace of social conservatives — and his refusal to march at Pride — were a "stinking albatross" around the party's neck during the campaign.
In January, MacKay was the first candidate to announce he would march in Toronto's Pride parade this summer.
The Lewis campaign leaked an audio of MacKay asking social conservative voters, who are generally against LGBT rights and abortion, to "park those issues, for a time" because those positions will be "used against us" by the Liberals and hamper the party's efforts to appeal to more socially moderate voters in suburban areas around the country's big cities.

But MacKay has faced criticism for how he has handled trans issues.
In a effort to draw a contrast between himself and O'Toole, who previously backed legislation to extend protections for trans people, MacKay said he didn't agree with his opponent's support for the transgender rights "bathroom bill."
The reference to a "bathroom bill" was condemned by some as "dog-whistle terminology" because it is the language used by anti-trans advocates who claim that trans women will prey on people in washrooms if they are given certain rights.
MacKay accused of 'dog-whistle' politics after criticizing O'Toole for supporting trans 'bathroom' bill
A campaign spokesperson later said MacKay won't use the term anymore, adding the candidate would have voted in favour of the Liberal government's transgender rights legislation, Bill C-16, if he had been an MP in the last Parliament because his views have evolved.
O'Toole has tried actively to court social conservative voters and recently pitched for the second ballot support of those backing Lewis and Sloan in the first round of voting.
He has promised that social Conservatives would have "a seat at the table" in a Conservative Party led by him.
In a video conference call with supporters leaked to Radio-Canada earlier this week, O'Toole said that he's concerned about the government's proposed legislation to ban conversion therapy and another bill that would broaden access to medical aid in dying.
Conversion therapy is the pseudoscientific practice of using psychological or spiritual counselling to change the sexual orientation of someone who identifies as LGBTQ to heterosexual.
Erin O'Toole asks to be 'second choice' of social conservatives in leaked video
In March, the Liberals introduced legislation that would outlaw several aspects of the practice, including exposing a minor to it.
O'Toole said he has concerns about the legislation.
"It's very important to respect the conversation between a priest and the members of their flock," he said.
A spokesperson later said O'Toole has always been clear that "coercive, degrading actions that seek to change a person's sexual orientation or gender identity should be banned," and his issue is with how the Liberal bill has been crafted.
The Ontario MP also revealed he will "probably" vote against new legislation that would expand access to medical aid in dying, saying he has "a lot of uncertainty" about the practice as both a Catholic and a lawyer.
Lewis, a practising Pentecostal, has embraced the social conservative wing of the party. She's had support from organizers who work with RightNow, an anti-abortion advocacy group.
Lewis is firmly opposed to the federal government's push to ban conversion therapy.
Conservative leadership contender Leslyn Lewis sells herself to social conservatives, takes shots at MacKay
Lewis has said she's heard from parents and pastors who worry that what she calls "a talk therapy session" could be criminalized under the proposed law.
On abortion, Lewis has told her supporters that she is "pro-life, no hidden agenda."
If elected party leader, she said, she would move to ban sex-selective abortions, criminalize coercive abortions, increase funding for pregnancy centres that counsel women about their alternatives to ending a pregnancy and end funding for international abortions through Canada's foreign aid.
Sloan has also happily embraced the "so con" label.
While his policy playbook is relatively light in other areas, he has posted a 12-point "pro-life" plan on his website which includes a promise to enact a partial birth abortion ban, end foreign aid funding of abortion and end funding for "pro-abortion special interest groups."
He is also promising to work with the provinces to pass legislation requiring "full disclosure" to women prior to the procedure — a measure that would require that women get an ultrasound before undergoing an abortion.
The economy post-pandemic
O'Toole and MacKay have released economic plans they say will help Canada's economy out of the pandemic slump that has left millions unemployed.
The plans include a mix of fiscal prudence — such as O'Toole's promise to wind down the Canada emergency response benefit (CERB) — and tax incentives to restore the economy to health.
But both candidates have shied away from the more aggressive cost-cutting approach recently advocated by former prime minister Stephen Harper in an opinion piece in the Wall Street Journal.

Power and Politics

Instead of pushing for an early austerity drive, O'Toole and MacKay are talking about returning to balanced budgets and a more normal level of spending over time, as the country starts the slow climb out of pandemic-induced shutdowns.
The candidates have even suggested they'd extend some Liberal initiatives.
While critical of the current level of government spending, both promised to continue the Canada emergency business account (CEBA) program — which extends credit to businesses and includes a grant of up to $10,000 — for another year to help smaller businesses get through this crisis.
MacKay, O'Toole pitch pandemic recovery plans heavy on tax incentives, fiscal prudence
MacKay has suggested business operators in two of the hardest hit sectors of the economy — restaurants and tourism — should be permitted to stop charging GST to make their services more affordable for consumers who have all but abandoned them over the last three months because of physical distancing measures.
O'Toole is proposing a "new hire incentive" that would reduce the employment insurance premiums that small- and medium-sized businesses pay if they add new workers.
MacKay and O'Toole are pitching plans to restore Canada's manufacturing base, with promises to build domestic capacity for making medical equipment so that Canada will be self-sufficient if it's hit with another pandemic.
Canada has relied on China and the U.S. throughout the pandemic for masks and ventilators.
O'Toole said Canada needs domestic supplies of these goods so we "no longer need to rely on supply chains stretching to China to supply critical life-saving needs in future emergencies."
MacKay has said a mix of tax cuts — such as a 100 per cent capital cost allowance write-off for equipment purchases — and programs to retrain workers for technologically advanced factories will help a manufacturing sector that was once the economic bedrock of the country's largest province.

In 2013, the Bronxville Historical Conservancy funded a $10,000 exclusive sponsorship of the Eastchester 350th Anniversary Celebration's educational program.
Eastchester Town Historian Richard Forliano, a former Eastchester Middle School teacher, visited each public, parochial and private school to solicit participation. Jack Bierwirth, a Conservancy board member and a public school superintendent, met with the three town school superintendents. All agreed that tremendous benefits would accrue to the students and to the districts if Eastchester's special history, including the town's two villages of Tuckahoe and Bronxville, became a focus for their students during the 2013-14 academic year. Six categories of student work were defined: traditional exhibits, digital exhibits, films, studio art, performing art and research papers.
The results are in and they are a splendid showcase of our local students' pride in their hometown! Over 1,000 students have received their certificates of participation and scores of their parents and teachers have enjoyed their academic projects—both at presentation evenings in the district and on YouTube.
On March 26, in the Eastchester Middle School cafeteria, a wide range of exhibit projects were presented including a PowerPoint presentation of the town's history, interviews with relatives who had immigrated, as well as imaginative postcards "sent home" about the new country, illustrated essays and poetry. Schools represented that evening included Eastchester's two elementary schools, its middle school, the Immaculate Conception, Chapel and Pathways schools.
On April 2, Bronxville's All-Purpose Room was the scene for the film and visual arts projects from schools in Eastchester, Tuckahoe and Bronxille, with six films previewed, including Eastchester Middle School students' take on the industrialization of the town, a fast-moving video celebrating Bronxville architecture and oral interviews with longtime residents. Original artworks included studies of town architecture, books, story boards and dioramas.
April 25 proved to be a show-stopping evening with various performing arts projects staged at the Tuckahoe High School Auditorium. Eastchester history was celebrated in innovative, funny and even moving ways through an ingenious combination of song, dance and dramatic readings performed by elementary, middle school and high school drama, dance and choral groups (see photos at right). Finally, in early June, Bronxville's fourth graders will put on an original play. To give the proper time for research development, research essays may be submitted in the fall, completing a very successful program that the Conservancy is proud to have funded.

"Manchester has one of the highest averages of people living with HIV, but being a Fast Track City provides the perfect framework to help meet our goal of ending new cases of HIV within a generation."
Posted on 12th September 2019 16th September 2019
By Orla McQuillan, consultant in genitourinary medicine and clinical key opinion leader for Fast Track Cities Initiative in Greater Manchester.
The Fast Track Cities programme to end new cases of HIV within a generation has come at a perfect time.
HIV has always been a significant health issue in Greater Manchester – we have one of the highest averages of people living with HIV in certain boroughs (in Manchester a rate of 6.21 per 1,000 population, against the England average of 2.37 per 1,000), with more than 5,650 living within Greater Manchester.
Just over 250 new HIV diagnoses are made every year in Greater Manchester. This rate has fallen recently from 289 in 2017 to 253 in 2018, a 12.45% decline. However, 44% of these come at a late stage, greatly increasing the impacts to individuals' lives, risks of onward transmission and the costs of treatment. In addition, around 745 people are thought to be living with HIV but unaware of their positive status.
When Andy Burnham announced at Pride last August that we were becoming a Fast Track City, it couldn't have been more timely. We already had planned a 'HIVE' program – HIV Ending new cases within a generation – which is aimed at ending new diagnoses of the disease within a generation. Along with lung cancer, HIV was pinpointed as a preventable health inequality and it was allocated £1.3 million of funding from the Greater Manchester Health and Social Care Partnership.
Fast Track Cities added further political backing to the goal of ending HIV transmissions in Greater Manchester every year.
It's early days, of course, and we're hitting the 90-90-90 target, (90% of all people living with HIV are diagnosed, 90% of people diagnosed are on treatment, and 90% of those being treated have reduced infection to levels which prevent HIV being passed on). Our latest figures are 91, 97 and 97. But it's that first 91% of undiagnosed cases that is a real focus for us – we can only estimate how many people are living undiagnosed with HIV, making it the least scientific of those statistics.
Within the BAME community, for instance, we're pretty sure we're not hitting that 90% benchmark, but by how much we simply don't know.
Manchester has always been quite forward looking across the health and voluntary sectors – the Greater Manchester Sexual Health Network comprises commissioners and clinicians and the third sector who've worked together for more than 15 years to improve the sexual health of the population of Greater Manchester.
By capitalising on these partnerships we hope to upscale testing among those people we feel we haven't been able to reach before, working with colleagues within the LGBT Foundation, BHA for equality and the George House Trust, under the umbrella of PASH, or Passionate About Sexual Health.
People within those charities and organisations are trained by clinical colleagues to perform testing everywhere from community centres to sex-on-venue premises, Manchester Pride, and the city's annual Caribbean Carnival. No stone should go unturned.
And we shouldn't forget those currently living with HIV, how we can support them with housing, asylum, food banks and more.
Crucially, Greater Manchester's programme is now funding targeted support workers who go into those communities to help those with HIV adhere to a medication regime so their vital load remains undetectable and untransmittable (U=U), and so they live longer, better lives.
We're also working with GPs so everyone working in those practices gets tested, and through Fast Track we're hoping to become the first UK city to introduce HIV testing as standard for anyone who visits A&E within Manchester. This is actually part of 2016 NICE guidelines for high prevalence areas, but it hasn't been implemented yet.
And like our fellow Fast Track Cities we understand the stigma around HIV is a massive obstacle. We're developing stigma training packages for healthcare workers and those in local government and also looking at the wider population.
We also need to see HIV in a wider context – Manchester has seen a rise in cases of syphilis, gonorrhoea and significant levels of hepatitis C, which we need to test for at the same time as HIV as there's a big cross-over in the at-risk populations. Crucially we have very effective treatments for these sexually transmitted infections which we hope will break the chain of infection.
And the availability of "PrEP" medication, which has been proven to stop HIV in its tracks, is really worrying. Demand currently outstrips the ability to supply this within the existing PrEP trials in England so people are having to purchase PrEP online or are continuing to be at high risk of acquiring HIV. In Scotland and Wales it's available on the NHS, and we're hoping England will follow suit.
Unfortunately cuts in funding to our sexual health services and local authorities mean that we are basically trying to do more with less, which is why the Fast Track Cities is perfect framework for the current climate.
We can share best practices without doubling up and wasting precious resources. We really are knitting all our brains together in a way that hasn't happened before. It's exciting, but also essential.

March 2, 2022 Red Redial Team 0 Comments
The guide shares details about the Live Cam Ukraine War recordings and live-streaming for the global citizens.
Everyone has been live-streaming the terrorizing air-raid sirens going off across Ukrainian Capital Kyiv every night as a concerned citizen. The intense gunfire in the distance, quiet streets under curfew, and hazardous artillery fires lighting the skies are live-streamed by Worldwide citizens.
For six days now, millions of kilometers from Ukraine, the curious and nervous global population is going online to live-stream the situation via city-webcams set across the major points of Ukraine.
The situation in Ukraine is not good, and people are worried about it, hence analyzing the conditions via Live Cam Ukraine War.
Why does Russia Call The War?
In 2021, after winning the presidential election in the United States, Joe Biden urged the Ukrainian President, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, to become a part of NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization.)
After the news circulated, Russia got furious and asked Ukraine's president to reject the offer and avoid becoming a part of NATO. Ignoring the offer of Russia may lead to war. Since Ukraine ignored Russia's offer to avoid Biden's request, a conflict has started, and Russia decided to invade Ukraine on 24th Feb 2022.
The Worldwide citizens are worried about the residents and getting live updates of the situation via Live Cams.
What Does Webcam Ukraine War Means and How to Live-Stream the Situation?
Webcams are set up across the country to closely view the happenings. These webcams work as the third eye for the government that records everything that comes on its way. Now, these webcams are increasingly used by the global citizens to live stream the condition of the city amid the war-like situation.
Everyone who has access to these webcams can live-stream the war and closely analyze the situation in Ukraine. Multiple online websites are telecasting live videos for the users. These videos are sourced directly from Kiev Live Camera War.
The live webcams allow you to see what is happening across Ukraine. The videos and information captured in these webcams are shared via satellite, and you need internet access to live-stream these videos captured via webcams.
Amid war-like situations, these webcams play a vital role in knowing nonmilitant people in Ukraine. The global citizens are getting regular updates on the situation, which is possible due to these webcams.
So, if you want to have a live update on the situation, access these webcams for live-streaming of the situation.
The Live Cam Ukraine War videos and recordings are helping the global citizens to have an update on the current situation and condition in Ukraine. Ukraine is under attack, and Russian soldiers invade major cities with tanks and heavy amours.
Many people were killed, and civilians escaped from the country after the attack. People who want to know the present situation of Ukraine must access the Live Webcams that are set up across the country for easy live-streaming of the situation.
Do you have any links to the videos and recordings? Please, share it in the comment section for others.

Royals Drop 1-0 Decision At St. John Fisher Sunday
PITTSFORD, NY—Freshman Matt Silvi (Shenendehowa, NY/Clifton Park) scored a goal off of a corner kick early in the second half to lift St. John Fisher College to a 1-0 victory over The University of Scranton Sunday afternoon.
The win was the first for the Cardinals, now 1-3, while the Royals dropped to 0-2-2.
Scranton did hold a slight advantage in shots, 10-7, but the Royals weren't able to get a ball past Cardinal sophomore goalkeeper Kyle Metcalffe (Fairport, NY/Fairport), who finished with three saves to earn the shutout. Jamie Dillon (Downingtown, Pa./Downingtown East) stopped four shots in goal for the Royals, who will return to action this Wednesday, September 14, against Ursinus College in Collegeville, Pennsylvania, beginning at 7:00 p.m.


This year it seems like spring has been with us for weeks (if not months!) but today it's finally officially spring! Get into the warm weather mood with these great Astoria activities.
1. Finally sign up for Plovgh.
2. Get Outside And Drink Beer!
One of the great things about Astoria is our rich cafe culture and beer garden scene! Take in some of this crazy nice weather over a pint at one of many beer gardens in neighborhood: Bohemian Beer Garden, Studio Square, or WunderBar. Local favorite MexiQ also has a great selection and a nice outdoor cafe space to boot.
The trees are budding up and the magnolias, lilacs, and dogwoods are inching towards being in full force. Pictured above is last year's pink dogwood tree on the north side 23rd Ave close to the Park. Watch for it, as it is spectacular.
If you have outdoor space, a fire escape, or even a sunny window, you can grow plants. A great place for garden supplies is Verni's Garden Center over on Hazen Street – which I consider to be the very east edge of Astoria. They've got supplies for both indoor and outdoor gardening. And while you're there, if you feel like it, walk one block east on Astoria Blvd to Jackson Hole Diner for one of their famous steam-grilled burgers, set in a classic diner atmosphere.
Astoria no-doubt has a strong brunch culture, and when the weather gets warm the sidewalk dining areas get busy. You may already have your favorite outdoor haunt picked out, but some of our favorites we highly recommend are Ovelia, BareBurger, Pachanga Patterson, and Il Bambino. The last two offer quiet backyard seating, which is nice if you want some peace and relaxation.
With so many amazing things going on in Astoria all at once, why not take advantage of the great weather to experience them with friends. We're not talking about an organized tour, as much as using your imagination and going back to your favorites or long awaited must-tries, and hitting them up with a group of besties. A really fun route would be trying the eateries and shops on and around 30th Avenue (Athens Cafe for coffee, Mediterranean Foods for olives and spices, Butcher Bar for BBQ, Ovelia for feta cubes with sesame seeds, Gian Piero's bakery for cannolis).

Bosch part 3.0 – convers(a)ctions
Apr 21, 2009 | Blog, Soulgardeners | 0 comments
A few of us met last Thursday to discuss Transforming Mission's third chapter. It is on Luke-Acts and is entitled, "Practicing forgiveness and solidarity with the poor."
When we started Claypot in 2003 we realized that we didn't understand church anymore. But we were fascinated by Jesus and started studying His life and teachings. Our entry narrative was the book of Luke and it was perfect for our mono-cultured rich suburban group.
Bosch contends in this chapter that Luke is a "Gospel for the poor – and the rich." It is this double-ring audience that captured our group. In the narrative of Luke we discovered a Jesus who had a definite "bias toward the dispossessed" and calls the rich into a relationship with the poor. In those early days our community started the journey of confessing the lie of the middle class. The lie that we're not the rich. We also walked into the grace of building friendships with the poor – and Luke was to blame!
Bosch quotes Schottroff & Stegemann who states,
"If we did not have Luke we would probably have lost an important, if not the most important, part of the earliest Christian tradition and its intense preoccupation with the figure and message of Jesus and the hope of the poor".
Since those days I've developed a deep appreciation for the book of Luke and I dare say that it has become my favorite gospel. I wonder what would happened if all South African Christians struggle in the books of Luke/Acts and use that struggle as a story to live into our South African story?
Bosch holds up Zacchaeus and Barnabas as "paradigms of what Luke expects of wealthy Christians" (p.102). In a culture preoccupied with models, especially church growth models, why are we not adopting these two role-models as strategies of engagement? I have my hunches why I think this is so …
Bosch drives his point home when he particularizes the implications,
"In economic terms, it means that the rich members of Luke's community are challenged to give up a significant portion of their wealth, and also to perform specific unpleasant actions, such as the issuing of risky loans and the canceling of debts." (p.103).
I've been fascinated by the ACTS 2 rhetoric in churches worldwide. Everyone wants to be an ACTS 2 church but does that include,
And all who believed were together and had all things in common. And they were selling their possessions and belongings and distributing the proceeds to all, as any had need?
Luke (and Bosch) would say YES!
"Luke undoubtedly wishes to communicate to his readers what is today often referred to as God's preferential option for the poor, but this option cannot be interpreted in any exclusive sense. It does not exclude God's concern for the rich, but, in fact, stresses it for, in both his gospel and Acts, Luke wishes his readers to know that there is hope for the rich, insofar as they act and serve in solidarity with the poor and oppressed. In their being converted to God, rich and poor are converted toward each other. The main emphasis, ultimately, is on sharing, on community. At various point=s in Acts, Luke highlights this 'communism of love' (p.104)
What would it look like to follow a Zacchaeus and Barnabas kind of Jesus life? Your thoughts would be appreciated …
Chris and Joe also posted some reflections (and actions!) in terms of our convers(a)ctions

Individual Order


I hate the party system.
Yet, it's not just the party system. As humans, we migrate to those most like us. It is one of the ways we find normalcy and comfort. Yet, then there are those who play upon that and use it to their advantage in building their "side." Most people are easily drawn into this without even knowing it's happening.
I did not expect the nation to be united upon hearing the news that Osama Bin Laden had been killed. I was not even united in my own heart. My feelings still shift and change. Yet, what truly grieved me last night (and continues to this morning) was to watch all of us fall right back into the same pattern.
3. The Evil Assumption. "They know they truth, and they are deliberately distorting it for their own malevolent purposes."
I don't know the solution. I don't actually believe there is one. We will always be human. I guess I am hoping, praying, wishing, yearning that more of us would work harder to fight against these natural tendencies. I'm willing to keep trying. I believe that would make a dent. I really do.
I blogged about this myself during election season. Back then my facebook was filled with people posting about how whichever candidate they were not voting for was either stupid, evil or both. I had to sit my children down and explain to them that none of the candidates were stupid, in fact all had college degrees and had been fairly successful in life. I also pointed out that none of them were evil, and in fact each had done at least one good thing and each had some good ideas and each probably felt they were honestly going to do a good job. The fact that we disagree with someone does not make the evil or stupid. As an example, last week my beautiful, smart 6th grade daughter was upset about something. I held her in my arms and we talked it out. Towards the end of our talk I noticed some candy on the counter (My dh brings me chocolate whenever my radlet has an out of control day) so I offered her a piece. My beautiful, intelligent daughter said, "Mom, chocolate doesn't always help." OK so to me this is a blasphemous thought. This child, whose favorite food is salad, has a different opinion than I do. I am sure she got it from her father or from her Russian first parents. However, this does not make her stupid or evil. In fact I may even have to admit she is probably smarter than her chocolate addicted mother. She also knows that in spite of my poor nutritional choices I am also neither stupid nor evil. Though my fashion sense causes her to question my taste at times, and the therapeutic methods I resort to with her little brother cause her to question my sanity, she knows that different opinions are OK.
And even though some may be stuck at assumption 1 or 2, we still have a peaceful exchange of authority every 4 or 8 years. No army storming the Capitol, no rioting in the streets. A peaceful change of power. This is what I love about our country.
Thanks for this amongst the rest of what's being said. You rock.
"Not even united in my own heart." Yes. This is exactly how I feel today. Thanks for saying it.
Thank you for saying this so beautifully, Christine. There has to be a way to jump off the "blame and defame" ride that we seem to be on in our political system. I don't know what it is, either, but I am glad to hear someone else talk about how this is not what we want.
Btw, my key word is mooma.
I keep going over the series of unfortunate assumptions in my head, too. Pondering them, digesting them... Letting them teach me a little humility.
i was discouraged but not surprised to see how political the whole bin laden thing became. fighting over which party gets the most credit... and what i want to scream is MY HUSBAND IS ON A PLANE TO AFGHANISTAN. AGAIN. HOW ABOUT IF WE JUST THANK HIM AND ALL THE OTHER SOLDIERS WHO REALLY DID WHAT ALL YOU POLITICIANS ARE TRYING TO TAKE CREDIT FOR??
i've not been on facebook all that long, but i'm thining that come election time, i may just log off. my brain already hurts.

The pace of change in the development of outdoor-oriented fabrics and insulation is accelerating as the growing awareness of environmental impacts and the push for sustainability in the supply chain are driving innovation across the board. The recently-announced Eco-Engineering™ initiative from Polartec aims to use recycled and biodegradable materials across its entire product line.
Polartec was the first company to knit, nap and shear synthetic yarns into a lightweight thermal fabric with fast drying times for use in outdoor apparel.
The collaboration is an extension of Polartec's process that deploys recycled inputs, advanced production techniques, logistical efficiency and rigorous testing and certifications to create an innovation culture dedicated to producing sustainable fabrics with top performance characteristics. This includes OEKO-TEX and bluesign certifications across all Polartec facilities worldwide.
The initiative is in line with what promises to be a 'triple bottom line' standard for the textile industry - fully recycled inputs, fully recyclable fabrics and complete biodegradability.
Insulation that effectively regulates core body temperature has traditionally been achieved via lofted or high-pile knit structures that hold warm air. Although Polartec is a leader in making resilient materials, it has recognized that any exposed polyester fiber is susceptible to shedding as a function of normal wear. The Power Air construction process mitigates this by encasing the insulating lofted fibers within the knitting process.
Polartec Alpha is a concept in synthetic insulation focused on thermo-regulation. Unlike conventional synthetic insulations, it's is a knit material that offers stability and durability without the need for quilting or tightly-woven fiber proof lining fabrics. Its unique knit structure allows for the use of highly breathable lining fabrics which permit body heat and moisture vapor to move through the insulation. It's this air permeability that allows warm air to move from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration creating a more even distribution of warmth within the garment. High breathability allows unrestricted movement of moisture vapor. It dries faster than conventional synthetic insulations and is much more comfortable in a wider range of activities than conventional synthetic insulated garments.
Polartec Power Fill is a 'soft and pliable matrix of polyester fibers engineered with a distinct geometric shape.' The matrix forms thousands of small air pockets that continuously capture and contain body heat while maintaining a resilient, equalized thermal layer between the colder air on the outside and the warmer temperatures inside. The polyester fiber's inherent hydrophobic properties also ensure that it resists moisture absorption and dries quickly, whilst retaining a high warmth to weight ratio.

Spartans, Terriers to meet on diamond
By DAN ARMONAITIS For the Herald-Journal
Feb 26, 2008 at 12:01 AM Feb 26, 2008 at 11:11 AM
When Wofford hosts USC Upstate at Russell C. King Field at 7 tonight, it will mark the first meeting between the two neighboring schools since 1995. For the Spartans, who are in their first season at the NCAA Division I level, it's an opportunity to renew an old rivalry from their Division II and NAIA days.
"I think any time you have local teams playing each other, it should create excitement within the community," USC Upstate head coach Matt Fincher said. "We might not be rivals since we haven't played each other (in a long time), but we are rivals in the fact that we share the same town. Because of that, it does mean something."
Wofford head coach Todd Interdonato, however, doesn't see any extra significance in tonight's game against the Spartans.
"I think the main reason our kids will be excited is because it's a chance to get on the field again and put on a uniform and compete," Interdonato said. "I don't think who's in the other dugout really makes that much of a difference to them."
The Terriers are the defending Southern Conference tournament champions and are coming off a season-opening doubleheader sweep against St. Peter's.
"We have two types of games in our program," Interdonato said. "We have Southern Conference games, and we have non-Southern Conference games. As far as I'm concerned, (USC Upstate) can put themselves in the same category as Arizona State, Clemson and South Carolina because we'll treat those games exactly the same as we'll treat Upstate."
While the Terriers haven't announced their starting pitcher for tonight's game, USC Upstate will send junior left-hander Phillip Myers to the mound. Myers is a transfer from Seminole Community College, where he went 5-0 with a 1.76 ERA last year.
The Spartans, who opened the season with wins against the New Jersey Institute of Technology and Tennessee-Martin before dropping a 6-5 decision against George Washington on Sunday, are focused on more than just the rivalry aspects of tonight's game against Wofford.
"One of the advantages of being in this part of the country is that we're surrounded by good baseball teams," Fincher said. "One of them happens to be just two miles from us. We want to play quality opponents so that we can measure our program and see what we've got to do to get better. We started that process (last weekend), and now we'll continue it against Wofford."
The Spartans and Terriers played one another 22 times between 1986-95 with USC Upstate holding a 16-6 advantage in the series.
"I hope that as we do this for a few years that the games do become meaningful because I think they should be," said Fincher, anticipating a developing rivalry between the two schools.
"If you happen to have some close games with a team over the course of some years, then maybe it can turn into something," Interdonato said. "But until that happens, I don't think it's something you can really force. I think (a rivalry) just has to develop naturally. And obviously with us having never played (since 1995), I don't see how that could be the case right now."

Q: Show fetched data after grouping in list in vue template I'm making timeline with users activities in vue template. I would like to list fetched data by grouping it by created_at.
I have fatched data with axios from laravel controller. Resulting array is bellow.
activities:Array[2]
    0:Object
        causer_id:1
        created_at:"2019-09-20 08:55:29"
        description:"updated"
        id:1
        subject_type:"App\User"
    1:Object
        causer_id:1
        created_at:"2019-10-20 08:58:10"
        description:"updated"
        id:2
        subject_type:"App\User"

How to group array by created_at, populate "timeline-day" with value, and then fill "timeline-box" with activities from that day?

    ***created_at***

{{ activity.subject_type }}

{{ activity.description }}

{{ activity.created_at }}

A: Something like this should do it.

new Vue({
  el: '#app',

  data () {
    return {
      activities: [
        {
          causer_id: 1,
          created_at: "2019-09-20 08:55:29",
          description: "updated",
          id: 1,
          subject_type: "App\User"
        }, {
          causer_id: 1,
          created_at: "2019-09-20 09:54:25",
          description: "updated",
          id: 3,
          subject_type: "App\User"
        }, {
          causer_id: 1,
          created_at: "2019-10-20 08:58:10",
          description: "updated",
          id: 2,
          subject_type: "App\User"
        }
      ]
    }
  },

  computed: {
    days () {
      const map = {}

      for (const activity of this.activities) {
        const day = activity.created_at.slice(0, 10)

        map[day] = map[day] || { created_at: day, activities: [] }
        map[day].activities.push(activity)
      }

      return Object.keys(map).sort().map(day => map[day])
    }
  }
})
.timeline-day {
  border-top: 1px solid #000;
  font-weight: bold;
}

  <template v-for="day in days">

      {{ day.created_at }}

{{ activity.subject_type }}

{{ activity.description }}

{{ activity.created_at }}

  </template>

It strips out the date using activity.created_at.slice(0, 10).
For each day it builds up an object containing the date and the array of activities. These are all stored in map. Once it's finished it puts those objects in an array for use by the template.
While I have included a sort() for the dates it doesn't sort the activities, so in practice they would need to already be sorted. You could add in extra sorting if that assumption doesn't hold.
Sorting the activities first lends itself to a slightly different algorithm. The temporary map wouldn't be needed and the objects can just be held in the final array from the get go. As the activities are sorted the only object we need access to is the one at the end of the array. Either the next activity will be added to that last object or a new object needs creating.

Scientists Study 'Girl with a Pearl Earring' in Hopes of Finding How Vermeer Painted His Masterpiece
Blog posts Smithsonian staff publications
It is one of the most iconic paintings of all time: a young woman looking over her shoulder, her mouth ever-so-slightly agape, with a large pearl dangling from her ear. Since 1881, Johannes Vermeer's masterpiece has been on display at The Hague's Mauritshuis museum. A star attraction, "Girl with a Pearl Earring" is rarely removed from public view. But as Nina Siegal reports for the New York Times, the work has been taken down for a period of brief but intensive study, in the hopes of learning more about how Vermeer painted his masterpiece.
A team of experts from both Europe and the United States have converged at the Mauritshuis to examine "Girl with a Pearl Earring" using an array of non-invasive technologies, among them "fiber optic reflectance spectroscopy, macro X-ray powder diffraction and optical coherence tomography," according to Siegal. The project, titled "The Girl in the Spotlight," began on February 26 and ends March 11. Abbie Vandivere, head researcher and paintings conservator at the Mauritshuis, tells Siegal that the team will be working day and night to study the painting as much as possible during the tight time frame.
During the two week period, visitors will not be able to view "Girl with a Pearl Earring" in its regular display space. But during the interim period, the Canon company Océ has created a 3D reproduction of the painting as a temporary stand-in. The Mauritshuis is also inviting visitors to watch the researchers at work. "The Girl in the Spotlight" project is being carried out in the museum's Golden Room, a chamber decked out with 18th-century décor, and the entire process will be on view behind glass partitions.
Vandivere has also been providing further information about the project on a Mauritshuis blog. In one of these blog posts, she explains that experts have many unanswered questions about "Girl with a Pearl Earring": What materials did Vermeer use to create the paintings? What techniques did he employ? What can we learn about the layers beneath the surface of the work? None of Vermeer's drawings survive to the present day, and very little is known about his education and his workshop. With the help of advanced technologies, researchers are hoping to unpack the mysteries that continue to surround the artist's famed 17th-century painting.
"Girl with a Pearl Earring" was last examined—and restored—in 1994, when researchers took small samples from the painting. Imaging techniques have advanced considerably since then, allowing experts to gain a wealth of knowledge about "Girl with a Pearl Earring" without scraping away a single sample of paint.
"We won't be touching the painting itself but we will be giving it a full bodyscan, going over texture, gloss, color and transparency millimeter by millimeter," archaeological materials expert Joris Dik tells the Dutch publication Volksrant, according to Dutch News.
Once "Girl with a Pearl Earring" is back on display on March 12, the research team will analyze the data and, they hope, uncover some of the enigmatic painting's enduring secrets.

You don't have to move mountains to make a world of change.
Even the smallest tweaks in behaviour can cause a ripple effect that help change the environment around you. Just ask Erika Arnold. She's always been a conscientious person, aware of her footprint on the earth and taking steps to limit it.
Then she went on a trip to Costa Rica. She saw another way to live, another way to conserve materials, and started to realize just how much waste we produce in North America. And she brought that learning home with her.
"I did a full overhaul," she says. For example, a lot of restaurants she visited in Costa Rica didn't use throw away straws, but had steel ones to wash and reuse. While traveling, she and her friend purchased their own reusable cutlery — and she still uses it that today if she's away from home.
And for things like soap, she buys bulk and brings her own refillable containers. And Arnold just doesn't do this at home; she's brought her sustainable habits to work with her, too. She's part of the team at Studio B Yoga in Garrison. They were recognized for their sustainable way of doing things at the recent Chilliwack Chamber of Excellence Awards. And when owner Crystal Hasell found out they were nominated, she knew the accolades belonged with Arnold.
"She said, 'if we win that's your award,'" Arnold recalls. And from the time Mayor Sharon Gaetz read their name, along with a welcoming namaste to the end of their speeches, the two say the award is a bit of a blur. But they are thankful that the community has come to see them as a sustainable company. And it's clear that Arnold's enthusiasm for cleaning up the planet is growing. Signs of her efforts are all around the studio.
Their soap is bought in bulk, straight from the store into their own containers. They have a filtered water station and mason jars so nobody has to bring bottled water (which isn't sold in the studio). For their merchandise, they prefer sellers who are local, with little to no packaging. They don't print receipts unless a client needs it.
And, Arnold has even gotten the staff — and a handful of members — into the habit of taking their own reusable containers to restaurants for leftovers. It's a two-for-one sustainable option. Food doesn't go to waste, and no styrofoam ends up in the garbage.
And about that leftover food. Arnold and other staff members take their compost home with them, ensuring nothing that could be green again ends up in the landfill.
For Arnold, getting into the habit of sustainability is about getting out of the habits of convenience.
In addition to teaching five classes a week at Studio B, plus the Girlvana Yoga for teens, and working as the studio manager, she runs a Sustainable Fraser Valley Facebook group and an Instagram page called @zerowastefraservalley, encouraging people to make changes in small ways. When she's not doing all that, she's in Vancouver studying holistic nutrition.
Hasell admits that she doesn't do as much as Arnold, but that everyone making small changes can have a big effect. And Arnold has been that one drop in the ocean that's having an effect on the studio, its staff, its clients, and with the acknowledgment that comes from the Chamber win, they hope the greater community, too.

Q: How do I pass data from a React app to Alan Studio and receive that data in Alan Studio? I'm building a news reader website where a user can give commands to Alan AI(navigate to a certain page, read news article, etc) and it will execute those commands. I'm storing all the news articles in a Redux state and they need to be passed to Alan Studio so that Allan can read them. How can I pass the articles to Alan Studio? and what script do I need to write in order to receive it in Alan Studio?. So far this is what I have after reading their documentation on how to send data, I have no idea how I can receive this data.
React Code:
componentDidMount() {
    const { setArticles, articlesList } = this.props;

    this.alanBtnInstance = alanBtn({
      key: ALAN_API_KEY,
      onCommand: ({ command, articles }) => {
        if (command === 'newHeadlines') {
          setArticles(articles);
        }
      }
    });

    this.alanBtnInstance.setVisualState({
      data: JSON.stringify(articlesList)
    });
  }

Alan Studio Code:
intent('Give me the news from $(source* (.*))', p => {
    let NEWS_API_URL = `https://newsapi.org/v2/top-headlines?apiKey=${NEWS_API_KEY}`;

    if(p.source.value) {
        NEWS_API_URL = `${NEWS_API_URL}&sources=${p.source.value.toLowerCase().split(" ").join('-')}`
    }

    api.request(NEWS_API_URL, (error, response, body) => {
        const { articles } = JSON.parse(body);

        if(!articles.length) {
            p.play('Sorry, please try searching for news from a different source');
            return;
        }

        savedArticles = articles;

        p.play({ command: 'newHeadlines', articles });
        p.play(`Here are the (latest|recent) news from ${p.source.value}.`);

        p.play('Would you like me to read the headlines?');
        p.then(confirmation)
    });
})

A: /*thats the code that you have to write in alan script*/

projectAPI.greetUser = function(p, param, callback) {
     if (param) {
         p.play(`Nice to see you again, ${param.user}`);
     } else {
         p.play('Welcome to our app');
     }
     callback();
 };

/*thats your function on client side to send objects*/

function sendData() {
    alanBtnInstance.activate();
    alanBtnInstance.callProjectApi("greetUser", {
      user: 'John Smith'
    }, function(error, result) {});

This day was perfect for the whole family. Unfortunately, my kids weren't around during this day cos they were at their grandmother's place. I'm sure if they were around, the first thing they'd utter is "WOW!!!" And they'll be so ecstatic! But since they couldn't make it, my best friend Nickie and I relived our childhood days instead and enjoyed the cool stuff inside the Jollitown event!
As expected, the place was packed with so much people, especially kids! They had different play zones and giant inflatables! You could bounce inside Jollibee's Bob House or slide down the Rainbow slide or fill the town with bubbles from the Bubble Dome!:) There were so many things to do!
I think even if you're not 5 years old or 12 years old anymore, you'd still love this place. :) It surely brought out the kiddy side of me!
We really loved the larger than life ice cream cones and art materials!^_^ So cute!!
Oh and of course, not Jollibee event would ever be complete without the special appearance of the Jollitown friends!
I want to go there next year! I love Jollibee mascot!
We missed this! It looks like it was a lot of fun. Next year we'll be sure to attend but probably be there when it opens and leave early as it looks like there were a lot of people.
My kids loves Jollibee! But I didn't get the chance to attend this because they were exhausted from an event prior to this one. Too bad we didn't experience it. Looks like you had so much fun!
Hi Ava, this event was huge pala. Ang layo kasi ng SMX, I would love to go with Kenzo sana. Nice outfit, Birkenstock is making a comeback na talaga!

Q: Question about angular momentum and its absorption by quantum particles I was thinking a little about how the absorption of angular momentum occurs from the point of view of QM. For example, suppose we have an atom A and an electron $e^-$.
The electron $e^-$ is ejected from a source radially in direction of the center of the atom. Suppose that the atom has net angular momentum $ = 0 $ and it absorbs the electron, my question is what will happen now.
I mean, the electron has angular momentum $\hbar /2$, but since it was emitted from a source in a randomly way, it is equally probable that the spin of the electron (if we measure it while it is on the path to the atom) be collapsed in any direction.
So, my interpretation is that the atom, after absorbing the electron, will maintain its angular momentum = 0, since in an average way the electron has angular momentum = 0.
Now, suppose we create a source that emits electron in such way that the direction of the spin is the z axis. The electron now is in the state $|\psi \rangle = |+ \rangle/\sqrt{2} + |- \rangle/\sqrt{2}$
Supposing that the atom is enclosed by a box with an open hole in its surface that allows the electron to pass, but that does not allow us to see inside it. Is it right to say that the atom now is in the state $|\psi \rangle = |+ \rangle/\sqrt{2} + |- \rangle/\sqrt{2}$? In other words, it is equally probably the atom angular momentum $\hbar/2$ in the + or - direction?
I would like to know if my statement in bold is right, and if it is right to interpret the italic way.

A: I suppose you are measuring the angular momentum of the composite atom (e- with the old atom as a whole) in the box. Then this is analogous to the canonical example of 2 coupled spin-1/2 particles, where you have a singlet state and a triplet states. In this case the total Hamiltonian is given by
$$
H \propto \vec{S_1} \cdot \vec{S_2} = S_1^x \otimes S_2^x + S_1^y \otimes S_2^y + S_1^z \otimes S_2^z
$$
where $S_1,S_2$ are defined by 3 Pauli matrices in their own Hilbert space. After diagonlizing it you'll get four states: singlet and triplet.
Now in your case the electron $S_1$ is spin-1/2, but the atom is spin-0 whose Hilbert space structure of angular momentum $S_2$ is trivial, there is nothing for $S_1$ to couple to. So in the respect of angular momentum, the composite system of the electron and the old atom in the box will be the same as the single electron itself - the whole system is in a superposition of the two orthogonal states.


James Anderson became the fourth English bowler to take 300 wickets over the weekend. He's not the most intimidating, and it took him until 2010 to figure out how to exploit all kinds of conditions, but Anderson is a crucial cog in England's wheel. By ANT SIMS.
Modest it may be, but it's also true. England's James Anderson has become the fourth English bowler to cross the 300-wickets mark in Test cricket. It took him 10 years and over 80 Tests, but he's finally there.
He's the 26th player overall to do so, but Anderson wasn't always quite so prolific. It's only since 2010 that the English King of Swing has managed to really master his craft. It's taken him ten years and 81 Tests, but Anderson has improved exponentially since making his debut, a Test in which he bagged five wickets.
The year in which he made his debut was a convincing one for the Lancastrian. He took 26 wickets in eight matches, but the media weren't quite convinced. As a youngster, Anderson had much to prove. He was good in English conditions, but his first Test away from home was fruitless. On the unforgiving subcontinent, Anderson conceded 85 runs in Colombo for not a single wicket in return. His second trip away from home was similar; in the West Indies, he managed just three wickets in two Tests.
In fact, the first four years of his career were unproductive for Anderson. In 20 Tests, he managed 62 wickets at an average of 39.20. His record at home was still fairly decent, but his figures away from home were rather unconvincing.
Before 2010, he averaged 43.84 in away Tests, which has now dropped to 28.17. That statistical improvement is just one of the many things which helped Anderson become one of the most reliable bowlers in the world. He's England's leader and gets to bowl according to his terms. When at Lord's he gets to choose his ends: the Pavilion End with the new ball and the Nursery End with the old ball.
At the start of his career, he donned the kind of immature hair style which made him easy to pick on. With a blotch of red perched on his head, just like one of his favourite Arsenal men, Fred Ljungberg, Anderson was an easy target. Back in his early days, an English writer said that if Anderson wanted to make his hair look like a peacock, he would almost certainly bowl like a peacock.
Much has changed for Anderson since the days of eccentric haircuts. At the moment, he is one of the most skilful bowlers in world cricket. He has progressed from just "focusing on his processes" to focusing on thinking batsmen out. For his skill, he doesn't need extreme pace. He might still come across as boring these days, but perhaps he doesn't need the swagger or the crazy eyes: perhaps he doesn't need to mad hair and snarling ferocity.
The anecdote remembered by the press at this time is one of Fred Trueman, the first to manage 300 wickets. An eccentric who loved a pint, Trueman said that anyone else who took 300 wickets would end up being "bloody knackered". At the end of the first Test between England and New Zealand at Lord's, however, Anderson looked everything but finished. Rather, he looked like the spearhead of the attack.
He almost certainly has a few years left in him, and while he's by no means one to go gunning for record, Ian Botha's record of being England's highest wicket-taker will almost certainly be in his sights.
"I don't see why not," 30-year-old Anderson replied when asked if he could beat Botha's record. "I'm not too old. I've a few more left yet. But I don't want to think about it. I'll just try to stay fit.
He finished the Test with seven wickets, and while he was overshadowed by Stuart Broad in the second innings, his role in the first was pivotal. He dismantled the New Zealand top order and engineered the dismissal of key-man Ross Taylor.

Generac Lawsuit GNRC | Deadline January 30, 2023
Generac Class Action Lawsuit (GNRC Lawsuit)
What is the Generac Lawsuit About?
The Generac Class Action Lawsuit (NYSE:GNRC) (Generac Class Action Lawsuit) was filed after the market closed on November 1, 2022.
On August 1, 2022, when Pink Energy filed a lawsuit against Generac, revealing that the Company's "defective" SnapRS components caused millions of dollars of damage, giving rise to liability that threatened Pink Energy's solvency (the "Pink Energy Complaint").
Is There A Generac Class Action Lawsuit?
GNRC:NYSE Class Action Lawsuit (GNRC) was filed on December 1, 2022 on behalf of the shareholders.
The disclosures in the Pink Energy Complaint caused the price of Generac shares to decline by $3.31 per share. The liability created by defective SnapRS components ultimately forced Pink Energy to declare bankruptcy on October 7, 2022.
In the wake of Pink Energy's bankruptcy, on October 19, 2022, Generac revealed that it had taken "pre-tax charges totaling approximately $55 million, including approximately $37 million of clean energy product warranty-related matter and approximately $18 million of bad debt expense related to a clean energy product customer that has filed for bankruptcy."
The $37 million charge related to warranty expenses appears to reflect Generac's belated acknowledgment of its increased liability to redress defective SnapRS units. The $18 million charge related to "bad debt expense" reflects receivables owed by Pink Energy, and possibly other partners or customers burdened with defective SnapRS products, that would not be paid.
The October 19 disclosures caused the price of Generac shares to decline by $37.44 per share, or 25%.
On November 2, 2022, Generac released its earnings results for the third quarter of 2022, and lowered sales guidance on its solar energy business for the remainder of the year by approximately 40%.
On a conference call with investors and analysts held that same day, Generac's CEO, attributed the lowered guidance to "the loss of a major customer during the quarter, along with the specific warranty-related issue"—i.e., the defective SnapRS component and the Pink Energy bankruptcy that resulted directly from that defect.
Analysts expressed shock upon learning how dependent Generac's clean energy business was on Pink Energy, with several analysts noting that investors had not been told of the significant concentration of that business with a single partner.
As a result of these disclosures, the price of Generac shares declined by $8.99 per share, or 8%.
Is There A Deadline For The Generac Lawsuit?
The deadline for the Generac Class Action Lawsuit (NYSE:GNRC) (Generac) is January 30, 2023 for a Lead Plaintiff.
How Much Did Shareholders Lose In GNRC Stocks?
Shareholders who hold GNRC securities saw decline by $3.31 per share. The liability created by defective SnapRS components ultimately forced Pink Energy to declare bankruptcy on October 7, 2022.
As a result of November 20 disclosures, the price of Generac shares declined by $8.99 per share, or 8%.
What Is The Generac Lawsuit Complaint?
Levi & Korsinsky, LLP announces that a GNRC class action lawsuit (Generac Class Action Lawsuit) has been filed on behalf of investors who purchased Generac Class Action Lawsuit (GNRC) securities between April 21, 2021 – November 1, 2022, inclusive. For more on the GNRC Lawsuit please contact us today.
According to the Generac lawsuit, throughout the Class Period defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that:
(1) despite defendant's claims that "safety is paramount", Generac's SnapRS units, which are components for rapidly shutting down solar devices in certain dangerous situations, were defective;
(2) Generac did not timely record warranty liabilities resulting from the defective SnapRS units; and,
(3) despite assurances to the contrary, the Company's sales to channel partners were highly concentrated in a single partner.
If you suffered a loss in GNRC, you have until January 30, 2023 to request that the Court appoint you as lead plaintiff. Your ability to share in any recovery doesn't require that you serve as a lead plaintiff.
Why Levi & Korsinsky, LLP Over the past 20 years, the team at Levi & Korsinsky has secured hundreds of millions of dollars for aggrieved shareholders and built a track record of winning high-stakes cases. Our firm has extensive expertise representing investors in complex securities litigation and a team of over 70 employees to serve our clients. For seven years in a row, Levi & Korsinsky has ranked in ISS Securities Class Action Services' Top 50 Report as one of the top securities litigation firms in the United States.
What Is The Lead Plaintiff Process?
THE LEAD PLAINTIFF PROCESS: According to the Private Securities Reform Act of 1995, any investor who bought or acquired GNRC securities in the Class Period may apply for appointment as a lead plaintiff. The lead plaintiff is usually the movant who has the most financial interest in the relief sought. However, he or she must also be typical or adequate to the putative classes. The GNRC class-action lawsuit is directed by the lead plaintiff. To litigate the Generac Class Action Lawsuit, the lead plaintiff may choose any law firm it wishes. The ability of an investor to share in any future recovery is not tied to being the lead plaintiff in the GNRC Class Action Lawsuit.

Q: Using Ruby and Sinatra, Is it possible to use HAML in an "internal" or "inline" manner? I've done gem install sinatra and gem install haml
And I have  this .rb file
require 'sinatra'

get '/abc2' do
"<b>aaaaaaaaaaaaa</b>"
end

Now say I want that line of HTML but in HAML. and not externally
I know I can do
get '/abc' do
  haml :index  # /views/index.haml
end

And index.haml could have a line of haml  %b aaaaaaa
But is there any way that I can include %b aaaaaaa in my ruby file itself and have it rendered.  Without having to refer to a file e.g. without having to refer to /views/index.haml ?
Like CSS lets you have the CSS External, or it lets you have it internal within the html file..  Similarly, Javascript lets you import javascript externally, or it lets you have it internal to the html file..  Well i'm asking about using HAML internally to the .rb file.  Is it possible?
I know HAML is intended as a template language for injecting data into.. but it is also a shorthand for writing HTML more concisely.

A: For small apps you can add the views at the end of your script so there are no external files.
get '/abc' do
  haml :hello
end
__END__
@@ hello
%h1= "Hello there"

A: You should be able to use Haml::Engine#render to convert the Haml to HTML like so:
get '/abc2' do
  Haml::Engine.new(<<-Haml).render(binding)
    %b aaaaaa
  Haml
end

This uses a heredoc (everything between the <<-Haml line and the closing Haml. binding is a special variable that basically refers to the current scope.
