Easter Seals Canada has launched a new fundraising and awareness campaign called "Unstoppable", and it couldn't come at a better time for us. After all that Brennen has been through with this most recent surgery (see HERE), he is making an incredible recovery, and proving to everyone that he truly is unstoppABLE!
As kids, we're told that we can do anything we put our mind to - we can be anything we want to be if we want it bad enough. We're told that anything is possible with hard work, passion and dedication. If we have dreams, set goals and give our best effort, there are no limits to what we can achieve. Easter Seals believes it's no different for kids living with disabilities. For these kids, facing challenges in life may be inevitable... but backing down is optional. With a lot of perseverance and some help from Easter Seals, we believe all kids living with disabilities can become #unstoppable!
The Unstoppable campaign features the accomplishments of three young people who have grown up with support from Easter Seals. Brandon Liston is a confident and charismatic speaker thanks to his role as Easter Seals National Ambassador. Zak Madell is a Paralympic wheelchair rugby athlete who, after only one year in the sport, led Team Canada to a silver medal at the 2012 London Paralympics. Victoria Chen is a top student, an accomplished pianist and a former Provincial Ambassador for Easter Seals Ontario.
Easter Seals is dedicated to fully enhancing the quality of life, self-esteem and self-determination of all Canadians living with disabilities. As Canada's largest local provider of programs, services, issues-leadership and development for the disability community, Easter Seals provincial organizations offer transformative programs and services at the local level.
Serving a broad range of people with varying physical, intellectual, sensory and learning disabilities, Easter Seals helps to ensure that everyone living with a disability has access to the equipment, programs, services and support they need to make the most of their abilities.
For some, what are typically seen as the simple everyday routines and rhythms of life can be fraught with barriers, challenges and obstacles - making life anything but simple. Having a disability can severely limit a person's ability to access their world and enjoy the same experiences as their able-bodied peers. For many, a disability can even affect how they see themselves and how they view their own abilities. It can lead to lower self-confidence and self-esteem which can cause them to doubt their potential and their ability to contribute positively to their community.
It is the mandate of Easter Seals across Canada to help with the programs, services, support and assistance that Canadians living with disabilities need to truly access their world and live life to the fullest. With the support of donors, sponsors and partners, Easter Seals helps change the lives of children, youth and adults living with disabilities from coast to coast.

Where I come from (Hungary, Central Europe) we find it almost natural that the railway is left to slowly but surely wane. Lines are closed and stations fall into decay. We don't even have dining cars any more.
The railway in Thailand is alive and kicking as it's still one of the main modes of transport. What's more, the construction of new lines can be expected in the future thanks to Chinese investment. All this in spite of a busy network of budget airlines and thousands of bus services throughout the country. Low fares must be one of the main advantages for local passengers and it's something we, travellers, also appreciate. On the other hand, the train rides that can often take half a day or more offer a very special opportunity to know more about Thai people, their customs and even their food.
I have always thought of the bus as a necessary evil. In my childhood I constantly struggled with motion sickness even on shorter rides – I remember one day I could hardly get off the city bus in time… Later I learnt how to control my breath and other factors but I still prefer to travel by boat, motorbike, bicycle or, better still, by train. And in Thailand there are rails to take you to almost all main attractions (except the islands but you don't go there by bus anyway).
We got off the plane near Pattaya and we spent the first few days there to get over the jet lag. Many years ago we were lucky enough to try the slowly crawling its way to Kanchanaburi. So when I noticed that Pattaya has its own railway station, there was no doubt how we should get to Bangkok.
The train arrives at Pattaya South. There are only 3rd class carriages on this line but it hardly takes longer than the minibus, where you are packed like sardines. Plus you arrive right in the city centre.
Then when we were heading south the night train came in handy. It takes the adventurous traveller to Chiang Mai in 13 hours, a flash of time really. The only problem is that we don't like to plan ahead weeks in advance, far from that. But the better seats are taken relatively fast so once again we had to make do with the 3rd class carriage.
Narrow seats with artificial leather upholstery (that stick better than Michelin tyres in the tropical heat), fans buzzing on the ceiling, windows you can fully open and an attentive choice of squat and sit-down toilets.
3rd class carriage travelling between Bangkok and Pattaya. You can easily book tickets online in Thailand here.
Suddenly disgusting gutter stench fills the atmosphere of the carriage. I look out and see that we are just passing by a smaller river, so upset by road construction that it no longer knows which way to flow. It doesn't really flow anywhere. However, filthy water flows into it from all sides because sewerage is still missing. But the vivid green rice fields and the coconut palms soon make us forget the unpleasant experience.
They keep walking up and down with their boxes, baskets and buckets for two or three hours, offering their goods in a singing voice. As time passes, ice slowly melts in the drinks and hot dishes slowly cool down. As a result, prices start to slowly sink. Then they have reached the level where the seller feels it's no longer worth carrying their weight around. The remaining drinks end up between the rails and I guess they take home the food for their families.
The train keeps rolling and a new team gets on with fresh stock at the next stop. And I eagerly watch what else I should try.

Gatwick Airport has launched a lanyard for passengers with hidden disabilities who may require additional support when travelling through the airport.
The lanyard, which is voluntary for passengers with hidden disabilities and their families, will act as a discreet sign for staff that additional support or help may be required.
It was launched at Gatwick Airport as part of Dementia Awareness Week (15-21 May), and is supported by charities including the Alzheimer's Society, The National Autistic Society (NAS) and Action on Hearing Loss.
Gatwick Airport has been working closely with charities and OCS, which provides passenger assistance services at Gatwick, to promote greater awareness and understanding of the challenges passengers with hidden disabilities can experience when travelling through busy environments.
As part of the initiative, Gatwick is increasing awareness and training of airport staff and appointing 'workplace champions' to provide enhanced assistance for passengers with hidden disabilities. Gatwick's commitment follows its support of the Prime Minister's Dementia Challenge and the airport's involvement with the Air Transport Group to improve the travelling experience for all passengers with hidden disabilities.
• Benefit from a more comprehensive briefing on what to expect as they travel through the airport.


I hate the phrase bucket list. It implies that the experiences we seek out are merely items to check off rather than moments to savor.
Memorable travel experiences can be as dramatic as reaching one of the Seven Summits (which I've done) or as prosaic as a mountain picnic. They can be something you spend years planning or an instance of perfect spontaneity and serendipity. What they share is that they leave you not just with happy memories but with a new connection to your better self. They change your perspective—that holy grail of vacations, circa 2017: transformative travel.
Either that or they're just a whole lot of fun. Or delicious.
I visited Cuba right after the New Year, before the floodgates of American tourists fully opened, on a people-to-people trip with GeoEx. While the people-to-people visas come with compromises (itineraries heavy on lectures from government-approved academics), GeoEx is savvy enough to build in "white space"—time for guests to enjoy their own cultural interests, be they art, Afro-Cuban jazz or baseball. For me it was salsa dancing, with which I unexpectedly fell in love after a brief group lesson at La Casa del Son, a relaxed salsa school catering to foreigners. For about $10, I could spend an hour dancing, and sometimes bantering, with a patient instructor, learning a skill and learning about smart group of people who've managed to make money doing something they love.
There are many reasons to love Todos Santos. One is Todos Santos Eco Adventures, a smart, soulful operator that's raising the bar on eco-luxury. From its sweet Los Colibris Inn as a home base, it offers high-end, low-impact adventures like outstanding hikes, horseback riding on the beach, surfing, waterfall adventures, mountain trekking (including an ambitious one, from the Pacific up over the highest mountain range in Baja, to the Sea of Cortez), visiting local ranchero families who still live very traditionally, glamping on a deserted island and, especially, whale watching in Magdelena Bay, a UNESCO-recognized nature reserve where grays breed before making the long swim back to Alaska. Watching wasn't the right verb. More like communing. A 45-foot mother and her baby spent an hour playing beside our boat, letting us scratch their backs and putting on shows with their blowholes and tails.
It's only within the past decade that the Phong Nha caves were discovered. Son Doong, the largest cave in the world, takes five days to explore. I wasn't up for that much spelunking (this trip upends the idea of luxury—think scrambling over rough karst, traversing treacherous trails, wading in chest-deep cold water, tolerating the occasional bat in the face and, oh yeah, maybe peeling off a leech at the end), so I opted for a two-day exploration of the smaller Hang Va and Hang Nuac Nut caves with Oxalis Adventure Tours, the only company leading trips. (I found it through the Asia experts at Journeys Within.) It may not have been comfortable, but I never felt unsafe. I trusted the guides completely, a luxury in its own right. And the big payoff was dumbstruck awe at this strangely majestic underworld and full-on wonder about what else might be hidden within this planet of ours. That, and feeling like a badass. Bragging rights are not insignificant.
Portugal is a country where eating is practically the national sport. Lisbon's excellent restaurants range from the old-school seafood-and-beer hall Cervejeria Ramiro to the swanky multiconcept Palacio Chiado, housed in a gorgeously redone 18th-century palace. But it's wunderkind chef José Avillez who is the city's star. This summer, he opened his seventh restaurant, Bairro do Avillez, where a taberna area serves typical dishes with inventive twists and a patio dining room is devoted to seafood. His Michelin two-star flagship, Belcanto, is going as strong as ever. His signature Garden of the Goose that Laid the Golden Eggs (a slow-cooked egg with gold leaf in an umami-rich nest of breadcrumbs and mushrooms) was the most impressive dish I ate all year.
If I had a bucket list, this would have been on it. Ever since I heard about Anantara's King's Cup elephant polo tournament, I've wanted to go. Finally I did. Equal parts improbable game, nonstop party and serious fund-raiser, the tournament delivered on all the promises the founders—polo players, philanthropists and sports fans—made when they dreamed up the sport back in the late '90s. It's not exactly a fast-moving game, but it can get strangely exciting as the players lean to strike the ball without hitting a leg—elephant welfare being paramount. Anantara takes pains to treat its athletes well, from veterinary care to an elephant osteopath to the must-see elephant buffet. In a perfect world, all elephants would be wild. That world doesn't exist. And in this world, with its habitat destruction and elephant-tourism (exploitation) economy, Anantara's work is invaluable. Since its inception, the tournament has raised more than $1.3 million for elephant conservation.
I have a soft spot for New Mexico: I grew up there. So it's a thrill to see luxury eco-tourism taking hold. Ted Turner, a staunch conservationist, owns more than a million acres of the Land of Enchantment, and with his new Ted Turner Expeditions adventure travel company, he's out to replicate the national park experience on his private land. The lavish new Casa Grande at Vermejo Park Ranch earned a lot of buzz, but I was also moved by the desert landscape on his two ranches in the southern part of the state, where accomplished naturalist guides showed me the lay of the land.
No points for originality here. But it lives up to the hype. The views from the Oberoi Amarvilas extend the magic.
Japan is known for many things. Hiking isn't usually high on that list. But it turns out that long walks are an ideal immersion in the slow-moving, traditional culture of the countryside. In nine days following the Kumano Kodo Pilgrimage route, past Shinto and Buddhist shrines and temples, massive Torii gates and spiritually redolent monasteries—on an excellent trip led by Walk Japan, a pioneering company founded by American professors with the intention of showing Westerners the real Japan—I soaked up beautiful scenery, chanted blessings with monks, made offerings at shrines and had more than a few moments of Zen.
Yes, Dubrovnik is overrun in the summer. So I took to the sea. The Elaphiti Islands are perfect for a day trip: home to spectacular swimming caves, cool beach clubs and chilled-out lunch spots like BOWA (an acronym for Best of What's Available) on the island of Sipan. The dining "rooms" are platform pavilions veiled by billowing white curtains, and the food is as simple as can be. A waiter fetched live sea urchins from the sea, opened them and served them with lemon on a platter. Another let us select the fish we wanted for lunch, then grilled it perfectly while we took a swim.
I visited Tel Aviv for a Michelin-star-studded gourmet festival, but my most memorable meal of the trip was the simplest: a picnic at an organic goat farm in Galilee, hand-built by 25 years ago by the couple who still run it. They've turned into an effortless (if breezy) spot for an alfresco lunch on Turkish carpets and cushions under swaying carob trees. (It's called Goats in the Wind for a reason.) The cheeses are made in the Italian and French styles and are so good that a hotshot Danish chef in Israel for another gourmet event bought 20 kilograms of the mascarpone to serve at his dinners. Along with the cheeses were the owners' homemade wine and a beautiful spread of salads. Simple pleasures are sometimes the best.


Jerry Pinkney puts his indelible stamp on another beloved folktale in the same vein as the Caldecott Medal-winning The Lion & the Mouse and the highly acclaimed The Tortoise & the Hare and The Grasshopper & the Ants.
When the three billy goats Gruff are hungry, they see bountiful grass to eat across an old bridge. But the bridge is home to a terrible troll, who is peckish himself, and looking for a tasty morsel to gobble up. In his interpretation of the timeless tale, Jerry Pinkney shows there's little good to come from greed–but in the end, redemption for even the most trollish bully is possible. A dramatic gatefold heightens the climax of this brilliant rendition.
Pinmei's gentle, loving grandmother always has the most exciting tales for her granddaughter and the other villagers. However, the peace is shattered one night when soldiers of the Emperor arrive and kidnap the storyteller.
Everyone knows that the Emperor wants something called the Luminous Stone That Lights the Night. Determined to have her grandmother returned, Pinmei embarks on a journey to find the Luminous Stone alongside her friend Yishan, a mysterious boy who seems to have his own secrets to hide. Together, the two must face obstacles usually found only in legends to find the Luminous Stone and save Pinmei's grandmother–before it's too late.
A fast-paced adventure that is extraordinarily written and beautifully illustrated, When the Sea Turned to Silver is a masterpiece companion novel to Where the Mountain Meets the Moon and Starry River of the Sky.
In award-winning artist Jerry Pinkney's wordless adaptation of one of Aesop's most beloved fables, an unlikely pair learn that no act of kindness is ever wasted. After a ferocious lion spares a cowering mouse that he'd planned to eat, the mouse later comes to his rescue, freeing him from a poacher's trap. With vivid depictions of the landscape of the African Serengeti and expressively-drawn characters, Pinkney makes this a truly special retelling, and his stunning pictures speak volumes.

For fans of Percy Jackson and the Olympians, the thrilling conclusion to The Blackwell Pages, written by New York Times bestselling YA authors, K.L. Armstrong and M.A. Marr.
Thirteen-year-olds Matt, Laurie, and Fen have beaten near-impossible odds to assemble their fellow descendants of the Norse Gods and complete epic quests. Their biggest challenge lies ahead: battling the fierce monsters working to bring about the apocalypse.
But when they learn that Matt must fight the Midgard Serpent alone and Fen and Laurie are pulled in other directions, the friends realize they can't take every step of this journey together. Matt, Laurie, and Fen will each have to fight their own battles to survive, to be true to themselves, and to one another – with nothing less than the fate of the world hanging in the balance.
It's Maddy's turn to have a bayou summer. At first she misses life back home in the city, but soon she grows to love everything about her new surroundings — the glimmering fireflies, the glorious landscape, and something else, deep within the water, that only Maddy sees. Could it be a mermaid? As her grandmother shares wisdom about sayings and signs, Maddy realizes she may be only the sibling to carry on her family's magical legacy. And when a disastrous oil leak threatens the bayou, she knows she may also be the only one who can help. Does she have what it takes to be a hero?
Scarlett March lives to hunt the Fenris–the werewolves that took her eye when she was defending her sister Rosie from a brutal attack. Armed with a razor-sharp hatchet and blood-red cloak, Scarlett is an expert at luring and slaying the wolves. She's determined to protect other young girls from a grisly death, and her raging heart will not rest until every single wolf is dead.
Rosie March once felt her bond with her sister was unbreakable. Owing Scarlett her life, Rosie hunts ferociously alongside her. But even as more girls' bodies pile up in the city and the Fenris seem to be gaining power, Rosie dreams of a life beyond the wolves. She finds herself drawn to Silas, a young woodsman who is deadly with an ax and Scarlett's only friend–but does loving him mean betraying her sister and all that they've worked for?


You have entered the photographic realm of Lexington, Kentucky photographer John W. Snell. Through his photos you'll experience some of the most beautiful places in America. Some images are snapshots, but most are his attempt to present new and unique vignettes of those places.
"Ever since 1980, when I traded a friend $100 and two pickup truckloads of firewood for an old Minolta camera and two lenses, my life has not been the same. Each year, I spend numerous hours lugging heavy camera equipment through various venues, most often Red River Gorge in eastern Kentucky, searching for expressions of nature that speak to me in a special way. Sometimes I succeed photographically, but many times I just enjoy the walk in the woods...the mountains...beside streams and waterfalls. The effort is always refreshing and exciting. I trust that you'll experience some of that as you view my work."

El Ashigara (足柄) fue un crucero pesado de la Clase Myōkō perteneciente a la Armada Imperial Japonesa que participó en acciones en el área de las Filipinas como parte del frente del Pacífico durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial.

Diseño y características
El crucero Ashigara fue producto del plan del modernización de la flota japonesa en 1922, fue diseñado como parte de la Clase Myōkō por el vicealmirante Yuzuru Hiraga,  bajo los acuerdos del Tratado naval de Washington.

Tenía un desplazamiento inicial de 10.000 t y fue construido en los astilleros de Kawasaki en Kobe.  Fue botado en 1928 y comisionado en abril de 1929.  Sin embargo, en el plan de modernización de 1930, el Ashigara incrementó su desplazamiento a 14.743 t reales a plena carga.

Como el resto de su clase, el Ashigara tenía problemas de habitabilidad por deficiencias en el sistema de ventilación.
Tenía un blindaje suficiente de 102 mm en el cinturón y de 37 mm en la cubierta principal, el puente no estaba blindado.
A lo largo de su vida operativa fue modernizado varias veces incrementándose su capacidad antiaérea y se le proveyó de sistemas de detección.
Tenía dos catapultas y embarcó inicialmente hidroaviones Nakajima E8N1 Tipo 95.

Historial operativo
El Ashigara fue comisionado en agosto de 1929 y asignado a la 4ª División de cruceros pesados.  El abril de 1930 tomó parte de la Revista naval en honor al emperador Hirohito.

En 1935, mientras realizaba ejercicios de entrenamiento artillero sufrió un accidente al estallar una munición en la torreta n.º2 matando a 41 hombres, afortunadamente no explosionaron los pañoles de munición.  Fue llevado a Sasebo para su reparación.
Se aprovechó la ocasión para adicionar un sistema de bulges antitorpedo a su casco.

En mayo de 1937, participó en Spithead, Portsmouth, Inglaterra,  como navío de representación en la Revista Naval en honor al jubileo de la Coronación del Rey Jorge VI donde causó una excelente impresión a los entendidos navales de otros países.  El Ashigara en esa ocasión ancló al lado del Acorazado de bolsillo  Admiral Graf Spee y sus tripulaciones se visitaron mutuamente.
En esa misma ocasión fue invitado a participar en maniobras antiaéreas en Dover, donde el teniente comandante, Makino Shigeru, tomó nota de las estaciones de radar sobresalientes en la costa, informando de sus observaciones al Alto Mando japonés.
A fines de mayo fue invitado a Kiel, Alemania donde la tripulación visitó Berlín.

Participó en la Segunda guerra Sino-Japonesa, en esa ocasión proporcionó ayuda frente al S.O.S emitido por el transatlántico SS Presidente Hoover encallado en los bajos de Isla Verde rescatando a parte de los 700 pasajeros que transportaba.

En julio de 1941, permaneció en aguas del Mar de China para apoyar las operaciones de desembarco de tropas japonesas en Indochina.
En diciembre de ese año fue enviado a Sasebo y adscrito como buque insignia del almirante Ibo Takahashi al mando de la 16ª división de cruceros.

Segunda Guerra Mundial
En la apertura de la Guerra con Estados Unidos, participó el 7 de diciembre de 1941 en operaciones de invasión japonesa de las Filipinas.
El 11 de diciembre, estando en Vigan, a 100 kilómetros al noroeste de Lingayen,  fue bombardeado en altura,  sin recibir impactos,  por una escuadrilla de 6 bombarderos Boeing B-17  que lo confundieron con el  acorazado Haruna.
Participó en enero de 1942  apoyando desembarcos en Mako, Formosa y Borneo.

El 27 de febrero de 1942 participó en la segunda Batalla del Mar de Java entablando combate con fuerzas anglo-holandesas al mando del almirante Karol Doorman.
El Ashigara se batió con el   crucero Exeter y el  HMS Encounter inmovilizándolo y siendo finalmente hundido.

El resto de 1942 y en casi todo el año 1943 participó en diferentes operaciones como buque insignia en el suroeste de las Filipinas, teniendo como con base Surabaya, se le adicionó un radar tipo 21 y se le incrementó su artillería antiaérea.

En 1944, mantuvo su estatus de buque insignia de la 16ª División de cruceros y participó como transporte de tropas en el área de Birmania,  transportando tropas entre Singapur y Merquiui.  En febrero de 1944  fue asignado a la 21º División de cruceros con base en Singapur y en marzo se le envió a Sasebo para la instalación de un radar tipo 22, su capacidad antiaérea fue nuevamente incrementada.

El 24 de octubre de 1944 participó en la Operación Sho-I-Go como parte de la 21 ºdivisión de cruceros junto al  Nachi.
Estando en misión de reconocimiento bajo las órdenes del vicealmirante Shima en la Batalla del Estrecho de Surigao, el Nachi fue embestido accidentalmente por el  crucero Mogami, el Ashigara logró evitar la colisión.
El Ashigara junto a cinco destructores fueron las únicas naves japonesas que escaparon del Estrecho de Surigao indemnes.

El 27 de octubre, el Ashigara escapó al bombardeo del puerto de Manila, ese mismo día el Nachi fue sorprendido realizando pruebas fuera de Corregidor y finalmente hundido por la aviación enemiga.

El 25 de diciembre de 1944, el Ashigara y el crucero  Oyodo participaron en acciones de cañoneo al paso contra los americanos en la cabeza de playa de San José.
El 26 de diciembre fue dañado por un impacto directo de una bomba de 250 kg arrojada por un B-25 en el mar de Mindoro  y debió ingresar a dique seco para reparaciones en Singapur, en esa ocasión se le preparó para transportar tropas.
Una vez reparado sirvió como transporte de tropas entre la Bahía de Bengala y las Indias Orientales Neerlandesas.
El 22 de abril fue atacado sin éxito por el submarino holandés MS O 19, perdiéndose los cuatro torpedos dirigidos contra el Ashigara.

Final

El 8 de junio de 1945, el Ashigara zarpó de Batavia hacía las Singapur con 1.600 soldados a bordo, escoltado por el destructor   Kamikaze.
Al salir del estrecho de Bangka fue emboscado por tres submarinos aliados, USS Blueback , HMS Stygian y el HMS Trenchant,  los dos primeros fueron obligados a sumergirse debido al ataque del destructor japonés; pero el HMS Trenchant aprovechó hasta el último instante para situarse y disparar 8 torpedos en abanico al crucero Ashigara,  el crucero japonés intentó peinar las estelas; pero se topó con un campo minado y no pudo completar la maniobra siendo alcanzado por 5 de ellos.
El Ashigara fue prácticamente desmantelado y volcó sobre su costado perdiéndose 1.200 soldados y 100 tripulantes, solo 400 soldados y 853 marinos fueron rescatados por el Kamikaze, incluido su capitán, el contralmirante Miura.

Los restos del Ashigara reposan cerca del bajío de Hendrik Klippen a 60 m de profundidad.

\section{Introduction}
The Morse potential has raised a great deal of interest over the
years and has been one of the most useful models to describe the
interaction between two atoms in a diatomic molecule. It is known
that the radial Schr\"{o}dinger equation for this potential can be
solved exactly when the orbital angular quantum number $\ell$ is
equal to zero \cite{morse}. On the other hand, it is also known that
for $\ell\neq 0$, one has to use some approximations to find
analytical or semi-analytical solutions. Several schemes have been
presented for obtaining approximate solutions \cite{morales}. Among
these approximations, the most widely used and convenient one is the
Pekeris approximation \cite{Pekeris,fluge}, which is based on the
expansion of the centrifugal barrier in a series of exponentials
depending on the internuclear distance up to the second order. Other
approximations have also been developed to find better analytical
formulas for the rotating Morse potential. However, all these
approximations other than the Pekeris one require the calculation of
a state-dependent internuclear distance through the numerical
solutions of transcendental equations
\cite{depristo,elsum,morales2,bag}. In this respect, the rotating
Morse potential has so far been solved by the super-symmetry (SUSY)
\cite{susy,morales},  the Nikiforov-Uvarov method (NU)
\cite{Nifikorov,cuneyt}, the shifted and modified shifted 1/N
expansion methods \cite{bag,expansion} as well as the variational
method \cite{variational} using Pekeris approximations for $\ell\neq
0$. It is also solved by using the hypervirial perturbation method
(HV) \cite{killingbeck} with the full potential without Pekeris
approximation.

In this paper, our aim is to solve the rotating Morse potential
using a different and more practical method called, the asymptotic
iteration method (AIM) \cite{hakanaim1,hakanaim2} within the Pekeris
approximation and to obtain the energy eigenvalues and corresponding
eigenfunctions. In the next section, the asymptotic iteration method
(AIM) is introduced. Then, in section \ref{apply}, the
Schr\"{o}dinger equation is solved by the asymptotic iteration
method with the non-zero angular momentum quantum numbers for the
rotating Morse potential: The exact energy eigenvalues and
corresponding wave functions are calculated for the $H_{2}$, $HCl$,
$CO$ and $LiH$ diatomic molecules and AIM results are compared with
the findings of the SUSY \cite{morales}, the hypervirial
perturbation method (HV) \cite{killingbeck}, the Nikiforov-Uvarov
method (NU) \cite{cuneyt} and the shifted and modified shifted 1/N
expansion methods \cite{bag,expansion} as well as with the
variational method \cite{variational}. Finally, section
\ref{conclude} is devoted to the summary and conclusion.
\section{Basic Equations of the Asymptotic Iteration Method (AIM)}
We briefly outline the asymptotic iteration method here and the
details can be found in references \cite{hakanaim1,hakanaim2}. The
asymptotic iteration method is proposed to solve the second-order
differential equations of the form
\begin{equation}\label{diff}
  y''=\lambda_{0}(x)y'+s_{0}(x)y
\end{equation}
where $\lambda_{0}(x)\neq 0$ and s$_{0}$(x), $\lambda_{0}$(x) are in
C$_{\infty}$(a,b). The variables, s$_{0}$(x) and $\lambda_{0}$(x),
are sufficiently differentiable. The differential equation
(\ref{diff}) has a general solution \cite{hakanaim1}
\begin{equation}\label{generalsolution}
  y(x)=exp \left( - \int^{x} \alpha(x^{'}) dx^{'}\right ) \left [C_{2}+C_{1}
  \int^{x}exp  \left( \int^{x^{'}} (\lambda_{0}(x^{''})+2\alpha(x^{''})) dx^{''} \right ) dx^{'} \right
  ]
\end{equation}
if $k>0$, for sufficiently large $k$, we obtain the $\alpha(x)$
values from
\begin{equation}\label{quantization}
\frac{s_{k}(x)}{\lambda_{k}(x)}=\frac{s_{k-1}(x)}{\lambda_{k-1}(x)}=\alpha(x),
\quad k=1,2,3,\ldots
\end{equation}
where
\begin{eqnarray}\label{iter}
  \lambda_{k}(x) & = &
  \lambda_{k-1}'(x)+s_{k-1}(x)+\lambda_{0}(x)\lambda_{k-1}(x) \quad
  \nonumber \\
s_{k}(x) & = & s_{k-1}'(x)+s_{0}(x)\lambda_{k-1}(x), \quad \quad
\quad \quad k=1,2,3,\ldots
\end{eqnarray}
The energy eigenvalues are obtained from the quantization condition.
The quantization condition of the method together with equation
(\ref{iter}) can also be written as follows
\begin{equation}\label{kuantization}
  \delta_{k}(x)=\lambda_{k}(x)s_{k-1}(x)-\lambda_{k-1}(x)s_{k}(x)=0, \quad \quad
k=1,2,3,\ldots
\end{equation}

For a given potential such as the rotating Morse one, the radial
Schr\"{o}dinger equation is converted to the form of equation
(\ref{diff}). Then, s$_{0}(x)$ and $\lambda_{0}(x)$ are determined
and s$_{k}(x)$ and $\lambda_{k}(x)$ parameters are calculated. The
energy eigenvalues are determined by the quantization condition
given by equation (\ref{kuantization}). However, the wave functions
are determined by using the following wave function generator
\begin{equation}
y_{n}(x)=C_2 exp(-\int^{x}\frac{s_{k}(x^{\prime})}{\lambda
_{k}(x^{\prime})}dx^{\prime }) \label{generator1}
\end{equation}

\section{Calculation of the Energy Eigenvalues and Eigenfunctions}
\label{apply} The motion of a particle with the reduced mass $\mu$
is described by the following Schr\"{o}dinger equation:

\begin{equation}
\frac{-\hbar^{2}}{2\mu}\left(\frac{\partial^{2}}{\partial
r^{2}}+\frac{2}{r}\frac{\partial}{\partial r}+ \frac{1}{r^{2}}
\left[\frac{1}{\sin \theta}\frac{\partial}{\partial \theta} \left(
\sin \theta \frac{\partial}{\partial \theta} \right)
+\frac{1}{\sin^{2} \theta} \frac{\partial^{2}}{\partial \phi^{2}}
\right]+V(r) \right)\Psi_{n\ell m}(r,\theta,\phi)=E\Psi_{n\ell
m}(r,\theta,\phi)\label{sch}
\end{equation}
The terms in the square brackets with the overall minus sign are the
dimensionless angular momentum squared operator, ${\bf L}^{2}$.
Defining $\Psi_{n\ell m}(r,\theta,\phi)=u_{n\ell}(r)Y_{\ell
m}(\theta,\phi)$, we obtain the radial part of the Schr\"{o}dinger
equation:
\begin{eqnarray}
\left(\frac{d^{2}}{d{r}^{2}}+\frac {2}{r}\frac{d}{dr}
\right)u_{n\ell}(r)-\frac{2\mu}{\hbar^{2}}\left[V(r)+\frac{\ell(\ell+1)\hbar^{2}}{2
\mu r^{2}} \right]u_{n\ell}(r)+\frac{2 \mu
E}{\hbar^{2}}u_{n\ell}(r)=0 \label{radialr}
\end{eqnarray}
It is sometimes convenient to define $u_{n\ell}(r)$ and the
effective potential as follows:
\begin{equation}
u_{n\ell}(r)=\frac{R_{n\ell}(r)}{r}, \quad
V_{eff}=V(r)+\frac{\ell(\ell+1)\hbar^{2}}{2 \mu r^{2}}
\end{equation}
Since
\begin{equation}
\left(\frac{d^{2}}{d{r}^{2}}+\frac {2}{r}\frac{d}{dr}
\right)\frac{R_{n\ell}(r)}{r}=\frac{1}{r}\frac{d^{2}}{d{r}^{2}}R_{n\ell}(r)
\end{equation}
The radial Schr\"{o}dinger equation given by equation
(\ref{radialr}) follows that
\begin{equation}
\frac{d^{2}R_{n\ell}(r)}{d{r}^{2}}+\frac {2\mu}{\hbar^{2}}
\left[E-V_{eff} \right]R_{n\ell}(r)=0 \label{factorschrodinger}
\end{equation}
Instead of solving the partial differential equation (\ref{sch}) in
three variables $r$, $\theta$ and $\phi$, we now solve a
differential equation involving only the variable $r$, but dependent
on the angular momentum parameter $\ell$, which makes the solution
of this equation difficult for $\ell\neq 0$ or sometimes impossible within a
given potential.

The Morse potential we examine in this paper is defined as
\begin{equation}\label{morse}
  V_{Morse}(r)=D \left(e^{-2\alpha x}-2e^{-\alpha x} \right)
\end{equation}
with $x=(r-r_{e})/r_{e}$ and $\alpha=a r_{e}$. Here, $D$ and
$\alpha$ denote the dissociation energy and Morse parameter,
respectively. $r_{e}$ is the equilibrium distance (bound length)
between nuclei and $a$ is a parameter to control the width of the
potential well. For the $H_{2}$ diatomic molecule, the effective
potential, which is the sum of the centrifugal and Morse potentials,
is shown in figure \ref{pot} for various values of the orbital
angular momentum. The superposition of the attractive and repulsive
potentials results in the formation of a potential pocket, whose the
width and depth depend on the orbital angular momentum quantum
number for a given molecular potential. The potential pocket becomes
shallower as the orbital angular momentum quantum number $\ell$
increases, which also indicates that the number of states supported
by the potential decreases. This pocket is also very important for
the scattering case due to the interference of the barrier and
internal waves, which creates the oscillatory structure in the
cross-section. The effect of this pocket can be understood in terms
of the interference between the internal and barrier waves that
corresponds to a decomposition of the scattering amplitude into two
components, the inner and external waves~\cite{Lee78,Bri77,Bozosi}.

The effective potential together with the Morse potential for
$\ell\neq 0$ can be written as,
\begin{equation}\label{veff}
  V_{eff}(r)=V_{\ell}(r)+V_{Morse}(r)=\frac{\ell(\ell+1)\hbar^{2}}{2\mu r^{2}}+D \left(e^{-2\alpha x}-2e^{-\alpha x} \right)
\end{equation}
It is known that the Schr\"{o}dinger equation cannot be solved
exactly for this potential for $\ell\neq 0$ by using the standard
methods such as SUSY and NU. As it is seen  from
equation~(\ref{veff}), the effective potential is a combination of
the exponential and inverse square potentials, which cannot be
solved analytically. Therefore, an approximation has to be made: The
most widely used and convenient one is the Pekeris approximation.
This approximation is based on the expansion of the centrifugal
barrier in a series of exponentials depending on the internuclear
distance, keeping terms up to second order, so that the effective
$\ell$-dependent potential keeps the same form as the potential with
$\ell$=0 \cite{morales}. It should be pointed out, however, that
this approximation is valid only for low vibrational energy states.
In the Pekeris approximation, by change of the coordinates
$x=(r-r_{e})/r_{e}$, the centrifugal potential is expanded in a
series around $x=0$
\begin{equation}\label{expand}
V_{\ell}(x)=\frac{\ell(\ell+1)\hbar^{2}}{2\mu
r_{e}^{2}}\frac{1}{(1+x)^{2}}=\gamma(1-2x+3x^{2}-4x^{3}+...)
\end{equation}
where $\gamma=\frac{\ell(\ell+1)\hbar^{2}}{2\mu r_{e}^{2}}$. Taking
up to the second order degrees in this series and writing them in
terms of exponentials, we get

\begin{equation}\label{newexp}
\widetilde{V}_{\ell}(x)=\gamma\left(c_{0}+c_{1}e^{-\alpha
x}+c_{2}e^{-2 \alpha x} \right)
\end{equation}
In order to determine the constants $c_{0}$, $c_{1}$ and $c_{2}$, we
also expand this potential in a series of $x$
\begin{equation}\label{exp}
\widetilde{V}_{\ell}(x)=\gamma\left(c_{0}+c_{1}+c_{2}-(c_{1}+2c_2)\alpha
x+(\frac{c_{1}}{2}+2c_2)\alpha^2 x^2) \ldots \right)
\end{equation}
Comparing equal powers of equations (\ref{expand}) and (\ref{exp}),
we obtain the constants $c_{0}$, $c_{1}$ and $c_{2}$ as,
\begin{equation}\label{c}
    c_{0}=1-\frac{3}{\alpha}+\frac{3}{\alpha^{2}}, \quad  c_{1}=\frac{4}{\alpha}-\frac{6}{\alpha^{2}}, \quad
    c_{2}=-\frac{1}{\alpha}+\frac{3}{\alpha^{2}}
\end{equation}
Now, the effective potential with Pekeris approximation becomes,
\begin{equation}\label{veffpekeris}
\widetilde{V}_{eff}(x)=\gamma(c_{0}+c_{1} e^{-\alpha
x}+c_{2}e^{-2\alpha x})+D \left(e^{-2\alpha x}-2e^{-\alpha x}
\right)
\end{equation}
Instead of solving the radial Schr\"{o}dinger equation for the
effective potential given by equation (\ref{veff}), we solve the
radial Schr\"{o}dinger equation for the new effective potential
given by  equation (\ref{veffpekeris}) obtained by using the Pekeris
approximation. Inserting this effective potential equation
(\ref{veffpekeris}) into equation (\ref{factorschrodinger}) and
using the following \emph{ansatzs}
\begin{equation}\label{ansatz}
-\varepsilon^{2}=\frac{2\mu r_{e}^{2}}{\hbar^{2}}(E-\gamma c_{0}),
\quad \beta_{1}^{2}=\frac{2\mu r_{e}^{2}}{\hbar^{2}}(2D-\gamma
c_{1}), \quad \beta_{2}^{2}=\frac{2\mu r_{e}^{2}}{\hbar^{2}}(\gamma
c_{2}+D)
\end{equation}
The radial Schr\"{o}dinger equation takes the following form:
\begin{equation}\label{radyal}
 \frac{d^{2}R_{n\ell}(x)}{dx^{2}}+\left( -\varepsilon^{2}+\beta_{1}^{2} e^{-\alpha x}-\beta_{2}^{2} e^{-2\alpha x} \right) R_{n\ell}(x)=0
\end{equation}
If we rewrite equation (\ref{radyal}) by using a new variable of the
form $y=e^{-\alpha x}$, we obtain
\begin{equation}\label{trans}
\frac{d^{2}R_{n\ell}(y)}{dy^{2}}+\frac{1}{y}\frac{dR_{n\ell}(y)}{dy}+\left[-\frac{\varepsilon^{2}}{\alpha^{2}}\frac{1}{y^{2}}
+\frac{\beta_{1}^{2}}{\alpha^{2}}\frac{1}{y}-\frac{\beta_{2}^{2}}{\alpha^{2}}
\right]R_{n\ell}(y)=0
\end{equation}
In order to solve this equation with AIM for $\ell \ne 0$, we should
transform this equation to the form of equation (\ref{diff}).
Therefore, the reasonable physical wave function we propose is as
follows
\begin{equation}\label{wave}
R_{n\ell}(y)=y^{\frac{\varepsilon}{\alpha}}
e^{-\frac{\beta_{2}}{\alpha}y}f_{n\ell}(y)
\end{equation}
If we insert this wave function into the equation (\ref{trans}), we
have the second-order homogeneous linear differential equations in
the following form
\begin{equation}\label{aimschr}
\frac{d^{2}f_{n\ell}(y)}{dy^{2}}=\left(\frac{2\beta_{2}\alpha
y-2\varepsilon\alpha-\alpha^{2}}{y\alpha^{2}}\right)\frac{df_{n\ell}(y)}{d
y}+\left(\frac{2\varepsilon\beta_{2}+\alpha\beta_{2}-\beta_{1}^{2}}{y\alpha^{2}}
\right)f_{n\ell}(y)
\end{equation}
which is now amenable to an AIM solution. By comparing this equation
with equation (\ref{diff}), we can write the $\lambda_{0}(y)$ and
$s_{0}(y)$ values and by means of equation (\ref{iter}), we may
calculate $\lambda_k(y)$ and $s_k(y)$. This gives (the subscripts
are omitted):
\begin{eqnarray}\label{ini}
    \lambda_{0}&=&\left(\frac{2\beta_{2}y-2\varepsilon-\alpha}{\alpha y}\right) \nonumber \\
    s_{0}&=&\left(\frac{2\varepsilon\beta_{2}+\alpha\beta_{2}-\beta_{1}^{2}}{\alpha^{2}y}\right)\nonumber \\
    \lambda_{1}&=&{\frac {-3\,\beta_{2}\,\alpha\,y+6\,\alpha\,\varepsilon+2\,{\alpha}^{2}
-6\,y\varepsilon\,\beta_{2}-y{\beta_{1}}^{2}+4\,{\beta_{2}}^{2}{y}^ {2}+4\,{\varepsilon}^{2}}{{\alpha}^{2}{y}^{2}}}\nonumber \\
   s_{1}&=&2\,{\frac {\left (2\,\varepsilon\,\beta_{2}+\alpha\,\beta_{2}-{\beta_{1}}^{2}\right )\left (-\alpha+\beta_{2}\,y-\varepsilon\right )}{{
\alpha}^{3}{y}^{2}}} \\ \ldots \emph{etc} \nonumber
\end{eqnarray}
Combining these results with the quantization condition given by
equation (\ref{kuantization}) yields
\begin{eqnarray}
 \frac{s_0 }{\lambda _0 } & = & \frac{s_1 }{\lambda _1 }\,\,\,\,\,\, \Rightarrow
\,\,\,\,\,\,\varepsilon_{0}  =  -\frac{1}{2}\frac{\alpha\beta_{2}-\beta_{1}^{2}}{\beta_{2}} \nonumber \\
 \frac{s_1 }{\lambda _1 }  & = & \frac{s_2 }{\lambda _2 }\,\,\,\,\,\, \Rightarrow
\,\,\,\,\,\, \varepsilon_{1}=-\frac{1}{2}\frac{3\alpha\beta_{2}-\beta_{1}^{2}}{\beta_{2}} \nonumber \\
 \frac{s_2 }{\lambda _2 }  & = & \frac{s_3 }{\lambda _3 }\,\,\,\,\,\, \Rightarrow
\,\,\,\,\,\,\varepsilon_{2}=-\frac{1}{2}\frac{5\alpha\beta_{2}-\beta_{1}^{2}}{\beta_{2}} \\
\ldots \emph{etc} \nonumber
 \end{eqnarray}
When the above expressions are generalized, the eigenvalues turn out
as
\begin{equation}\label{energy}
\varepsilon_{n
\ell}=\frac{\beta_{1}^{2}-(2n+1)\alpha\beta_{2}}{2\beta_{2}},
\hspace{1cm} n=0,1,2,3,...
\end{equation}
Using equation (\ref{ansatz}), we obtain the energy eigenvalues
E$_{n\ell}$,
\begin{equation}\label{energyeigenvalues}
    E_{n\ell}=-\frac{\hbar^{2}}{2\mu r_{e}^{2}}\left[\frac{\beta_{1}^{2}}{2\beta_{2}}-(n+\frac{1}{2})\alpha\right]^{2}+\gamma c_{0}
\end{equation}
As it is seen that the energy eigenvalue equation is easily obtained
by using AIM. This is the advantage of the AIM that it gives the
eigenvalues directly by transforming the radial Schr\"{o}dinger
equation into a form of ${y}''$ =$ \lambda _0 (r){y}' + s_0 (r)y$.
In order to test the accuracy of equation (\ref{energyeigenvalues}),
we calculate the energy eigenvalues of the $H_{2}$, $HCl$, $CO$ and
$LiH$ diatomic molecules. The AIM results are compared with those
obtained by SUSY method \cite{morales} using original Pekeris
approximation, the hypervirial perturbation method (HV)
\cite{killingbeck}, the shifted 1/N and modified shifted 1/N
expansion methods \cite{bag} for the $H_{2}$ diatomic molecule in
Table \ref{Table1}. In Table \ref{Table2}, we show the same
comparison for the $HCl$ diatomic molecule. Furthermore, the AIM
results are compared with those obtained by NU method \cite{cuneyt},
shifted 1/N and modified shifted 1/N expansion methods \cite{bag}
for the $CO$ and $LiH$ diatomic molecules in Tables \ref{Table3} and
\ref{Table4}, respectively. As it can be seen from the results
presented in these tables that the AIM results are in good agreement
with the findings of the other methods.

After we find the energy eigenvalues, the following wave function
generator can be used to find $f_{n}(y)$ functions by using AIM
\begin{equation}
f_{n}(y)=exp(-\int^{y}\frac{s_{k}}{\lambda _{k}}dy^{\prime })
\label{generator}
\end{equation}%
where $n$ represents the radial quantum number and $k$ shows the
iteration number. Below, the first few $f(y)$ functions can be seen
\begin{small}
\begin{eqnarray}
f_{0}(y) &=&1 \\
f_{1}(y)&=&(2\alpha\beta_{2}-\beta_{1}^{2})\left(1-\frac{2\beta_{2} y}
{\alpha(\frac{\beta1^{2}-3\alpha\beta_{2}}{\alpha\beta_{2}}+1)}\right)\\
f_{2}(y)&=&(\beta_{1}^{2}-4\alpha\beta_{2})(\beta_{1}^{2}-3\alpha\beta_{2})
\left(1-\frac{4\beta_{2}y}{\alpha(\frac{\beta_{1}^{2}-5\alpha\beta_{2}}{\alpha\beta_{2}}+1)}
+\frac{4\beta_{2}^{2}y^{2}}{\alpha^{2}(\frac{\beta_{1}^{2}-5\alpha\beta_{2}}{\alpha\beta_{2}}+1)
(\frac{\beta_{1}^{2}-5\alpha\beta_{2}}{\alpha\beta_{2}}+2)}\right)\\
f_{3}(y)&=&(-4\alpha\beta_{2}+\beta_{1}^{2})(\beta_{1}^{2}-5\alpha\beta_{2})(\beta_{1}^{2}-6\alpha\beta_{2})
\left(1-\frac{6\beta_{2}y}{\alpha(\frac{\beta_{1}^{2}-7\alpha\beta_{2}}{\beta_{2}\alpha}+1)} \right. \nonumber \\
& + & \left. \frac{12\beta_{2}^{2}y^{2}}{\alpha^{2}(\frac{\beta_{1}^{2}-7\alpha\beta_{2}}{\alpha\beta_{2}}+1)
(\frac{\beta_{1}^{2}-7\alpha\beta_{2}}{\alpha\beta_{2}}+2)}-\frac{8\beta_{2}^{3}y^{3}}{\alpha^{3}
(\frac{\beta_{1}^{2}-7\alpha\beta_{2}}{\alpha\beta_{2}}+1)(\frac{\beta_{1}^{2}-7\alpha\beta_{2}}{\alpha\beta_{2}}+2)
(\frac{\beta_{1}^{2}-7\alpha\beta_{2}}{\alpha\beta_{2}}+3)}\right)\\
\ldots \emph{etc} \nonumber
\end{eqnarray}%
\end{small}
It can be understood from the results given above that we can write
the general formula for $f_{n}(y)$ as follows,
\begin{equation}
f_{n}(y)=(-1)^{n}\left(\prod\limits_{k=n}^{2n-1}(\beta_{1}^{2}-(k+1)\alpha\beta_{2})\right)
{_{1}}F_{1}
(-n,\frac{2\varepsilon_{n}}{\alpha}+1;\frac{2\beta_{2}y}{\alpha})
\end{equation}
Thus, we can write the total radial wave function as below,
\begin{equation}
R_{n\ell}=(-1)^{n}\left(\prod\limits_{k=n}^{2n-1}(\beta_{1}^{2}-(k+1)\alpha\beta_{2})\right)y^{\frac{\varepsilon_{n}}{\alpha}}e^{-\frac{\beta_{2}}{\alpha}y}
{_{1}}F_{1}
(-n,\frac{2\varepsilon_{n}}{\alpha}+1;\frac{2\beta_{2}y}{\alpha})
\end{equation}
When the hypergeometric function is written in terms of the Laguerre
polynomials, we get
\begin{equation}\label{wave1}
    R_{n\ell}=Ny^{\frac{\varepsilon_{n}}{\alpha}}e^{-\frac{\beta_{2}}{\alpha}y}
    L_{n}^{\frac{2\varepsilon_{n}}{\alpha}}\left(\frac{2\beta_{2}}{\alpha}y\right)
\end{equation}

 Where $N$ is the normalization constant and can be obtained from
$N^{2}\int\limits_{0}^{\infty}y^{\frac{2\varepsilon_{n}}{\alpha}}e^{-\frac{2\beta_{2}}{\alpha}y}
\left[L_{n}^{\frac{2\varepsilon_{n}}{\alpha}}(\frac{2\beta_{2}}{\alpha}y)\right]^{2}dy=1$
as below,
\begin{equation}\label{normalization}
    N=\frac{1}{n!}\left(\frac{2\beta_{2}}{\alpha}\right)^{\frac{\xi+1}{2}}\sqrt{\frac{(n-\xi)!}{n!}}
\end{equation}
where $\xi=\frac{2\varepsilon_{n}}{\alpha}$.

\section{Conclusion}
\label{conclude} We have shown an alternative method to obtain the
energy eigenvalues and corresponding eigenfunctions of the rotating
Morse potential using Pekeris approximation within the framework of
the asymptotic iteration method. The main results of this paper are
the energy eigenvalues and eigenfunctions, which are given by
equations (\ref{energyeigenvalues}) and (\ref{wave1}) respectively.
The energy eigenvalues are obtained for the $H_{2}$, $HCl$, $CO$ and
$LiH$ diatomic molecules. Our AIM results are compared with the
findings of the other methods such as the SUSY \cite{morales}, the
hypervirial perturbation method (HV) \cite{killingbeck}, the
Nikiforov-Uvarov method (NU) \cite{cuneyt} and the shifted and
modified shifted 1/N expansion methods \cite{bag,expansion} as well
as the variational method \cite{variational} in Tables \ref{Table1},
\ref{Table2}, \ref{Table3} and \ref{Table4}. The advantage of the
asymptotic iteration method is that it gives the eigenvalues
directly by transforming the radial Schr\"{o}dinger equation  into a
form of ${y}''$ =$ \lambda _0 (r){y}' + s_0 (r)y$. The wave
functions are easily constructed by iterating the values of $s_0(r)$
and $\lambda_0(r)$. The method presented in this study is a
systematic one and it is very efficient and practical. It is worth
extending this method to the solution of other interaction problems.

In decorative arts, plique-à-jour (French: "open to light") is a technique designed to produce a stained-glass effect in miniature, using translucent enamels. As in the cloisonné technique, plique-à-jour is made by bending and curving thin wires or delicate metal strips into patterns. The metal is temporarily attached to a supporting surface such as a sheet of metal or mica. Wet powdered enamel is applied and fused; after the enamel has cooled, the support is removed. The result is a network of metal strips filled with enamel "windows." Plique-à-jour was developed in France and Italy in the 14th century. The technique has been used largely for making cups, jewelry, and—in Russia—demitasse spoons.

Albania's King Zog's remains to be sent home
Albania will repatriate the remains of its former self-proclaimed king Zog I from France, where he died in exile in 1961, government spokeswoman Erla Mehilli told AFP Wednesday.
An official burial will be held November 17 in the capital Tirana at a cemetery where other members of the royal family are already interred.
The authorities "have tasked the Albanian embassy in Paris with organizing the repatriation," Mehilli said.
In Tirana the government will organize the burial ceremony.
In December 2011 the pretender to the Albanian crown, the crown prince Leka, was given a burial "with all royal attributes" despite the fact that Albania is now a republic.
Zog ruled Albania from 1925 until 1939. He started out as president but in 1928 proclaimed a constitutional monarchy and was crowned king of the Albanians.
He fled the country in 1939 after Italy invaded. He died in exile in France aged 66 and was buried in the Thiais cemetery.

'Lost' manuscript of pro-Nazi French author published 78 years later
A book by one of France's most celebrated and controversial literary figures arrives in bookstores this week, 78 years after the manuscript disappeared
It is a rare thing when the story of a book's publication is even more mysterious than the plot of the novel itself.
But that might be said of Guerre (War) by one of France's most celebrated and controversial literary figures, Louis-Ferdinand Celine, which arrives in bookstores on Thursday, some 78 years after its manuscript disappeared.
Celine's reputation has somehow survived the fact that he was one of France's most eager collaborators with the Nazis.
Already a superstar thanks to his debut novel Journey to the End of the Night (1932), Celine became one of the most ardent anti-Semitic propagandists even before France's occupation.
In June 1944, with the Allies advancing on Paris, the writer abandoned a pile of his manuscripts in his Montmartre apartment.
Celine feared rough treatment from authorities in liberated France, having spent the war carousing with the Gestapo, and giving up Jews and foreigners to the Nazi regime and publishing racist pamphlets about Jewish world conspiracies.
For decades, no one knew what happened to his papers, and he accused resistance fighters of burning them. But at some point in the 2000s, they ended up with retired journalist Jean-Pierre Thibaudat, who passed them – completely out of the blue – to Celine's heirs last summer.
'A miracle'
Despite the author's history, reviews of the 150-page novel, published by Gallimard, have been unanimous in their praise.
"The end of a mystery, the discovery of a great text," writes Le Point; a "miracle," says Le Monde; "breathtaking," gushes Journal du Dimanche.
Gallimard has yet to say whether the novel will be translated.
Like much of Celine's work, Guerre is deeply autobiographical, recounting his experiences during World War I.
It opens with 20-year-old Brigadier Ferdinand finding himself miraculously alive after waking up on a Belgian battlefield, follows his treatment and hasty departure for England – all based on Celine's real experiences.
His time across the Channel is the subject of another newly discovered novel, Londres (London), to be published this autumn.
If French reviewers seem reluctant to focus on Celine's rampant World War II anti-Semitism, it is partly because his early writings (Guerre is thought to date from 1934) show little sign of it.
Journey to the End of the Night was a hit among progressives for its anti-war message, as well as a raw, slang-filled style that stuck two fingers up at bourgeois sensibilities.
Celine's attitude to the Jews only revealed itself in 1937 with the publication of a pamphlet, Trifles for a Massacre, which set him on a new path of racial hatred and conspiracy-mongering.
He never back-tracked. After the war, he launched a campaign of Holocaust-denial and sought to muddy the waters around his own war-time exploits – allowing him to worm his way back into France without repercussions.
'Divine surprise'
Many in the French literary scene seem keen to separate early and late Celine.
"These manuscripts come at the right time – they are a divine surprise – for Celine to become a writer again: the one who matters, from 1932 to 1936," literary historian Philippe Roussin told AFP.
Other critics say the early Celine was just hiding his true feelings.
They highlight a quote that may explain the gap between his progressive novels and reactionary feelings: "Knowing what the reader wants, following fashions like a shopgirl, is the job of any writer who is very financially constrained," Celine wrote to a friend.
Despite his descent into Nazism, he was one of the great chroniclers of the trauma of World War I and the malaise of the inter-war years.
An exhibition about the discovery of the manuscripts opens on Thursday at the Gallimard Gallery and includes the original, hand-written sheets of Guerre.
They end with a line that is typical of Celine: "I caught the war in my head. It is locked in my head."
In the final years before his death in 1961, Celine endlessly bemoaned the loss of his manuscripts.
The exhibition has a quote from him on the wall: "They burned them, almost three manuscripts, the pest-purging vigilantes!"
This was one occasion – not the only one – where he was proved wrong.

Developing Rails applications with Docker is easy with Flatcar. Using native Docker commands, Flatcar will build
your application and link it to whatever database you choose to use.

##Installation and Dependencies
Flatcar depends on [Docker](https://www.docker.com). You must have Docker and Docker Compose installed on your machine in order for Flatcar to work. If you are on Linux, [install Docker](http://docs.docker.com/linux/step_one/) with official packages. On a [Mac](http://docs.docker.com/mac/started/) or [Windows](http://docs.docker.com/windows/started/), you will need to run a lightweight VM in order to use Docker. You can do this via [Docker Toolbox](https://www.docker.com/toolbox) or by running a VM of your choice.

If you are using Docker Toolbox, be sure to eval the Docker Machine environment variables in you terminal window before proceeding.

Right now, Flatcar is still under active development. You can run the gem locally and develop against it. When it reaches a release state, it will be available on Ruby Gems again.

##Usage
####Creating a new Rails project
From the desired parent directory, run `flatcar init $new_project_name`. This will initialize a new Rails application in a directory of the same name.

####Using an existing Rails project
Run `flatcar init $path_to_project` to begin a new project. You can initialize a flatcar project from the current directory by simply running `flatcar init`.

`flatcar init ($new_project_name|$path_to_project)` will perform the following operations:

1. If no project path is specified, it runs `rails new -B $app_path`.
2. Flatcar generates a Dockerfile for the Rails service
3. A docker-compose.yml file is generated for the entire project.

Flatcar applications are run via `docker-compose` in the project's directory. If you're using a VM, make sure to create appropriate port forwarding rules in order to view the application in your browser. Flatcar will bind 3000:3000 from host:container via Docker's `-p` flag at runtime.

To run the application, cd into the project directory and run `docker-compose up`. To run the services in the background, use the `-d` flag.

####init
Flatcar uses the following syntax: `flatcar [global options] init [command options] [APP_NAME]`

The `init` command initializes a Rails application with an optional base image and database specified. If executed within an existing Rails project directory without the APP_NAME argument, the Flatcar generated files will be placed in the current directory. If the command is executed with the optional APP_NAME argument, a new Rails project will be generated along with the Flatcar files in a subdirectory of the current directory.

#####Selecting a base image
You can specify which OS to use for your Rails service by passing in the -b flag. Valid options are alpine, ubuntu, or rails (debian-based). If no option is given, the default Rails image will be used.

#####Choosing a database
You can also specify which database to use with your Rails application. Valid options are mysql, postgresql, or sqlite3. If mysql or postgresql is chosen, a new database service will be defined in the generated docker-compose.yml file. If no option is given, sqlite3 will be used.

#####Command Options

##Testing
Flatcar uses rspec. To run the test suite, run `bundle exec rspec spec`.

##Contributing
Flatcar uses an Apache License and your contributions are welcome.
First, `git clone https://github.com/CenturyLinkLabs/flatcar.git`.
Flarcar uses GLI, which is a very useful tool for writing command line tools. More information on GLI can be found on [the project page](http://naildrivin5.com/gli/) as well as the [GitHub repo](https://github.com/davetron5000/gli).
To run flatcar in development mode, we recommend passing in GLI_DEBUG=true to your run command.

Investing in a personal trainer is a big decision and a financial commitment – but it can be life-changing. We've spoken to lots of clients and friends to help compile a top 10 list to help you choose the right one.
It's the first thing employers look for and should be the first question you ask too. What brought them to personal training? What qualifications do they have? You may prefer to work with someone with years of experience with a variety of customers or you may prefer a specialist, but you need to ask to find out!
The clue is in the title – your trainer is personal to you, so they need to get you. They need to understand what's going to work specifically for you, not just treat you like every other client.
You need to clearly express what you want to get out of the relationship and your PT needs to take the time to explain the process. Good lines of communication will be key so that you always feel you can ask questions.
"Today's lifestyle creates high levels of stress and toxicity, so our aim is to increase awareness first and then get agreements that the client will take active steps in reducing those areas red flagged." - A. Wong Kee, JAB's MD.
While personal training sessions are a commitment, there has to be some form of flexibility for when life gets in the way. Make sure you're clear on any conditions, like cancellation policies.
Where you train can have a big impact on how you train. While many PTs work in gyms, others will come to you or have agreements with other facilities, like local parks. Be open to discussing which setting and equipment will be best for helping you reach your goals.
Value for money is always key, so choose carefully. Some trainers are happy to simply design a workout programme, others provide a full package with nutrition plans and in-depth assessments. Consider your goals and whether a basic package will get you there. It might be worth spending a little extra.
A good trainer will always be happy to provide references. It's always wise to ask around too for the little details that can tell you a lot about a trainer's philosophy.
From correcting your posture to listening carefully – a good PT will be 100% focused on you for the duration of your session. If they're at all distracted or careless call them on it immediately – or change trainers.
Like any business, a PT has to be professional in all their dealings with you. They should be punctual, organised, dressed appropriately (not all sweaty from a previous client) and pleasant. You have to be satisfied you're getting value for money.
A good trainer invests in you as much as you invest in them, for the best results you have to be equally committed. Most PTs will adopt the approach that works best for the client, but inevitably there can be a personality clash or an incompatibility of style. Take the time to chat and figure out if you can get on with them personally before committing to a programme.
