Brothers Face Up To Life In Prison For Sexual Assault Of 10-Year-Old Girl
Two brothers have been arrested in Lincoln, Nebraska, after being accused of sexually abused a 10-year-old girl.
Rafael and Felipe Mora appeared in court via video link on Sept. 22.
Dan Packard, the Deputy Lancaster County Attorney, said Rafael, 22, was accused of having abused the girl from Jun. 1 to Sept. 19, while Felipe, 32, allegedly began assaulting her as early as Dec. 30, 2011, the Lincoln Journal Star reported.
Both men face charges of sexual assault of a child in the first and third degrees.
The abuse was uncovered when Rafael's girlfriend caught him kissing and touching the 10-year-old girl inappropriately, according to an affidavit cited by the Lincoln Journal Star. She subsequently alerted the police.
The victim told officers that both brothers had abused her. Felipe had allegedly done so on a weekly basis, threatening to harm the girl and her mother if they did not keep quiet about the abuse.
Police detained Rafael and Felipe Mora in the early morning of Sept. 20.
At the hearing on Sept. 22, the men said through a Spanish interpreter that they are unable to hire a lawyer and requested a public defender be appointed.
Lincoln Police Investigator Troy Cockle alleged that Rafael assaulted the girl three times, the Grand Island Independent reported.
Neither brother is a citizen of the United States, but their current status remains unconfirmed.
Both brothers are being held on bonds of $1 million. If found guilty, they could face between 20 years and life imprisonment.

Morse Lives in Hollywood
Near Hollywood and Vine
Located in the center of Hollywood, near the intersection of Hollywood and Vine, stands a very recognizable landmark, a circular office building, the home of Capitol Records,
It was built in 1956 and has the distinction of being the world's first circular office building. The shape was chosen as it was more earthquake resistant and more efficient for heating and cooling.
Known as the 'Sound Capitol of the World', the building includes a sound-proofed chamber located 20 feet below ground designed by famed guitarist Les Paul. The first recordings made in the building were a series of instrumentals by Frank Sinatra titled "Frank Sinatra Conducts Tone Poems of Color". Since then artists such as The Beatles, Beach Boys, Tina Turner, Steve Miller, Bonnie Raitt and others have recorded there.
Of interest to hams is the spire atop the building. It has a red light at the peak to comply with federal airline safety regulations. It blinks the word 'Hollywood' in Morse Code. In fact, the light's initial activation on April 6,1956 was ceremoniously conducted by Leila Morse, granddaughter of Samuel Morse.
Only once in the building's 50 year history was the message changed. This occurred in 1992 when Capitol records celebrated 50 years in business. For the occasion the red light blinked 'Capitol 50' in Morse.
And while you're in that neighbourhood...
Disneyland - New Orleans Square: The telegraph office attached to the New Orleans Square Railroad Station replays a part of Walt Disney's Disneyland Opening Day Dedication in Morse code.
"TO ALL WHO COME TO DISNEYLAND, WELCOME. HERE AGE RELIVES FOND MEMORIES OF THE PAST, AND HERE YOUTH MAY SAVOR THE CHALLENGE AND PROMISE OF THE FUTURE."
Amateur radio operator George Eldridge helped restore the message in 1997. After taping the message, Eldridge discovered that it had been cut short. The telegram was improperly edited when Imagineers transferred the message from a continuously looping tape, to a digital recording. Thanks to Eldridge, the recording now plays the correct message.

Multi-meters
A Communicator Reprise: February 2012
I'm sometimes surprised when a fellow ham asks a troubleshooting question and they have no knowledge of simple voltage, current or resistance measurement. When instructing the Basic course I used to spend a fair bit of time on series and parallel circuits and the means to make basic measurements, and there are several questions in the question bank that test these skills. I use my multi-meter several times a week, to check for a short, open circuit or even whether a dry cell battery requires replacement. This month we'll look at the meters themselves… next month the basics of how to use them.
Multi-meters or multi-testers, also known as a VOM (Volt Ohm Meter) is an electronic measuring instrument that combines several measurement functions in one unit. They are inexpensive and very handy tools for measuring what is going on in a circuit and will offer Voltage, Current and Resistance ranges adequate for home use. Most new multi-meters are digital. Until recently, digital multi-meters were expensive, and some lab quality instruments still are, as much as $5,000. For as little as $10 you can purchase one on-line or on sale at Canadian Tire. The average home user can get by with a basic model.
The first moving-pointer current-detecting device was the galvanometer in 1820. These were used to measure resistance and voltage by using a resistor bridge, and comparing the unknown quantity to a reference voltage or resistance. While useful in the lab, the devices were very slow and impractical in the field. These galvanometers were bulky and delicate. By adding a series or shunt resistor, more than one range of voltage or current could be measured with one movement.
Multi-meters were invented in the early 1920s as radio receivers and other vacuum tube electronic devices became more common. The invention of the first multi-meter is attributed to British Post Office engineer, Donald Macadie, who became dissatisfied with having to carry many separate instruments required for the maintenance of the telecommunications circuits. Macadie invented an instrument which could measure amperes, volts and ohms, so the multi-functional meter was then named Avometer. The meter comprised a moving coil meter, voltage and precision resistors, and switches and sockets to select the range.
Any meter will load the circuit under test to some extent. For example, a microammeter with full-scale current of 50 microamps, the highest sensitivity commonly available, must draw at least 50 microamps from the circuit under test to deflect fully. This may load a high-impedance circuit so much as to affect the circuit, and thereby give a false low reading.
To eliminate loading, Vacuum Tube Voltmeters (VTVM) were used for voltage measurements in electronic circuits. The VTVM had a fixed input impedance of typically 1 megohm or more, usually through use of a vacuum tube input circuit, and thus did not significantly load the circuit being tested. Modern digital meters and some modern analog meters use electronic input circuitry to achieve high-input impedance—their voltage ranges are functionally equivalent to VTVMs. Before the introduction of digital electronic high-impedance analog transistor and field effect transistor (FETs), vacuum tubes were commonly used.
An un-amplified analog multi-meter combines a meter movement, range resistors and switches. For an analog meter movement, DC voltage is measured with an internal series resistor connected between the meter movement and the circuit under test. If no resistors were used, the excessive voltage or current would quickly burn out the small wires that make up the meter coil. A set of switches allows greater resistance to be inserted for higher voltage ranges. As an example, a meter movement that required 1 milliamp for full scale deflection, with an internal resistance of 500 ohms, would, on a 10-volt range of the multi-meter, require 9,500 ohms of series resistance. Why? Remember Ohms Law, R = E / I or 10 volts divided by .001 amp which equals 10,000 ohms. The meter has an internal resistance of 500 ohms so we must add series resistance of 9,500 ohms to obtain a full scale reading. Now any voltage between 0 and 10 volts will produce some proportional deflection of the meter and this value can be read from the scale.
For analog current ranges, low-resistance shunts are connected in parallel with the meter movement to divert most of the current around the coil. Again for the case of a hypothetical 1 mA, 500 ohm movement on a 1 Ampere range, the shunt resistance would be just over 0.5 ohms.
Moving coil instruments respond only to the average value of the current through them. To measure alternating current, a rectifier diode is inserted in the circuit so that the average value of current is non-zero.
To measure resistance, a small dry cell within the instrument passes a current through the device under test and the meter coil. Since the current available depends on the state of charge of the dry cell, an analog multi-meter usually has an adjustment for the ohms scale to zero it, to compensate for the varying voltage of the meter battery. In the usual circuit found in analog multi-meters, the meter deflection is inversely proportional to the resistance; so full-scale is 0 ohms, and high resistance corresponds to smaller deflections. The ohms scale is compressed, so resolution is better at lower resistance values. Inexpensive analog meters may have only a single resistance scale, seriously restricting the range of precise measurements.
Resolution of analog multi-meters is limited by the width of the scale pointer, parallax, vibration of the pointer, the accuracy of printing of scales, zero calibration, number of ranges, and errors due to non-horizontal use of the mechanical display. Accuracy of readings obtained is also often compromised by miscounting division markings, errors in mental arithmetic, parallax observation errors, and less than perfect eyesight. Mirrored scales and larger meter movements are used to improve resolution; two and a half to three digits equivalent resolution is usual and adequate for the limited precision needed for most measurements.
Analog meter movements are inherently much more fragile physically and electrically than digital meters. Many analog meters have been instantly broken by connecting to the wrong point in a circuit, or while on the wrong range, or by dropping onto the floor.
On the favourable side, Analog meters are able to display a changing reading in real time, whereas digital meters present such data in a manner that's either hard to follow or more often incomprehensible. Also a digital display can follow changes far more slowly than an analog movement, so often fails to show what's going on clearly.
Analog meters are also useful in situations where its necessary to pay attention to something other than the meter, and the swing of the pointer can be seen without looking at it. This can happen when accessing awkward locations, or when working on cramped live circuitry.
Analog displays are also used to very roughly read currents well above the maximum rated current of the meter. For this, the probes are just touched to the circuit momentarily, and how fast the pointer speeds towards full-scale deflection is noted. This is often done when testing state of charge of dry batteries.
The ARRL handbook also says that analog multimeters, with no electronic circuitry, are less susceptible to radio frequency interference, important if working on radio gear.
The first digital multi-meter was manufactured in 1955 by Non Linear Systems. Modern multi-meters are often digital due to their accuracy, durability and extra features. In a digital multi-meter the signal under test is converted to a voltage and an amplifier with electronically controlled gain preconditions the signal. A digital multi-meter displays the quantity measured as a number, which eliminates mechanical errors. Measurement enhancements available include:
Auto-ranging, which selects the correct range for the quantity under test so that the most significant digits are shown. For example, a four-digit multi-meter would automatically select an appropriate range to display 1.234 instead of 0.012, or overloading. Auto-ranging meters may include a facility to 'freeze' the meter to a particular range, because a measurement that causes frequent range changes is distracting to the user. Other factors being equal, an auto-ranging meter will have more circuitry than an equivalent, non-auto-ranging meter, and so will be more costly, but will be more convenient to use. An other reason to 'freeze' the range is that this somewhat avoids 'hunting' which is a situation where the meter continuously switches between two neighbouring ranges as when the instrument is in the low range, the value is too large but too small in the larger range.
Auto-polarity for direct-current readings, shows if the applied voltage is positive (agrees with meter lead labels) or negative (opposite polarity to meter leads).
Sample and hold, which will latch the most recent reading for examination after the instrument is removed from the circuit under test.
Current-limited tests for voltage drop across semiconductor junctions. While not a replacement for a transistor tester, this facilitates testing diodes and a variety of transistor types.
As you can see, not all meters are created equally and the choice depends upon your needs. For general home use however, a $10 digital multi-meter will accomplish most tasks with the least possibility of damage to the circuit or the meter.

Can we do more to preserve our hobby?
Amateur Radio has spectrum, a lot of it. We have frequencies from the low bands into the gigaHertz. The demands for commercial use are very great... and persistent. Frequency auctions often generate millions of dollars for government.
I can't help but wonder if the current low use of some of our bands, particularly on VHF and 70cm will yield to pressure from commercial interests and be reduced to a smaller range of frequencies. There have been a number of articles written that wonder about the future of the hobby and our ability to draw in young Amateurs.
I believe that every Amateur has a responsibility to 'give back' to the community for the privilege of access to our spectrum. I'm also a strong believer in exposing our hobby to the public - particularly the work Amateurs do in emergency response. Public demonstrations, science fairs, library and school visits have been well attended and receive favourable response locally. 'Spreading the word" will serve us well to gain public support when commercial interests come knocking.

Surrey Doors Open Observations
A peek behind our Operations and Training Centre Doors
This is a follow-up to post https://ve7sar.blogspot.com/2018/05/surrey-doors-open.html
This year 30 venues participated. Despite the prediction of rain, the skies cleared and we had a beautiful day. Opening was scheduled for 11am but our first visitor arrived at 10:20. The majority of our visitors arrived between 11am and 1pm and they not only seemed very interested in our demonstrations but complimented the volunteers and the role they play in the emergency program. From feedback, the hidden transmitter hunt was the most challenging, although the simulated contact and report emergency simulation was popular with kids who had not had any exposure to radio use. The most notable HF contact was with a commercial jetliner at 30,000 feet over Nebraska piloted by a ham. The adults were uniformly impressed by the technology Amateur Radio offers. I have no doubt that most, if not all, left with an appreciation of what Amateur Radio, and the OTC contribute to the City. Our exposure and feedback on social media was also uniformly positive. They included former Mayor Dianne Watts, a strong supporter of Amateur Radio.
We had one confirmed signup for the next Basic course, and a further three expressions of interest. The total for the day was 47 visitors.

Every month the Russian Federation spends billions of roubles to provide for their puppet groupings of "LPR" and "DPR" which are considered to be terrorist ones in Ukraine. Every two months pension payouts on the occupied territory exceed the annual budget of, for example, Russian Kursk. The so-called "humanitarian convoys" take a considerable part of the Russin budget, as Radio Liberty informs.
Humanitarian aid has been delivered by Russia to Donetsk and Luhansk since the summer of 2014. So far, there have been no attempts to calculate the cost of the cargo of white "KamAZ" vehicles for Russian tax payers. The Russian government has not presented any official information though answered in social networks to scrupulous "Novorossiya' supporters, "Saved lives are priceless. Remember that, those who are cynical".
There was no data to calculate in the past. However, "LPR" "LuhanskInformCenter" has started publishing the lists of the aid delivered by 46 convoys by the end of November.
The published data does not look complete. For exaple, the convoy which came to Luhansk on November 19 consisted of 45 trucks. Each of them could transport from 16 to 20 tons of cargo, but the average vehicle loading was 10 tons as there was information that these "KamAZ" and "Volvo" trucks had brought 457 tons. However, even those understated figures may be used as the starting point for calculations though not exact.
Out of those 457 tons, 452.5 are presented in detail: canned fish — 43.5 tons, canned meat — 46 tons, canned milk — 33 tons, sugar — 82 tons, pearl barley —16 tons, rice — 21 tons, buckwheat — 19 tons, barley grits — 56 tons, wheat groats —40.5 tons, semolina — 9.5 tons, oat flakes — 60 tons, peas — 26 tons.
The prices at which the food was bought are not known, but it is quite logical to expect that they were within the price range typical of organizations and agencies in Russia. That is why IS-Zakupki.ru portal— the largest tender and purchase agregators in Russia — was used for calculations.
Th calculation was oriented at the prices offered to budget organizations of Central and Southern Federal Disctricts: humanitarian convoys are partially compiled in Noginsk near Moscow and partially in the Rostov region. The prices taken for calculations were not the highest ones, still, the total sum is impressive — the cost of the part of the cargo delivered to Luhansk should be more than 32.4 million roubles.
More or less detailed descriptions of humanitarian goods started in August, 2015 when the 36th "convoy" came to Luhansk. Thus, it is possible to calculate the price of 10 colums for 2 months. Besides the above mentioned products they brought salt, wheat and rye flour, pasta, millet, tea, and sunflower oil. Totally, it is 4800 tons for 336.9 million roubles.
15 times more food products are usually delivered by "KamAZ" trucks to Donetsk.
Thus, the total cost of food products in the last 10 convoys may be about 842 million roubles. If to assume that at the beginning the products delivered were the same, then, since August 2014, 45 convoys of trucks have delivered food for 3,789 billion roubles.
194 tons of midicine which have been delivered since March (there is no information on the prices) have not been included into the calculations. The same about 640 tons of seeds, building materials, 366 tons of textbooks and a lot of other things, for example, equipment for separatists' emergency situations service or equipment for the so-called "LPR" ministry of the interior. According to informal information, the equipment was delivered from China.
According to approximate calculations, the cost of the 'humanitarian convoys" may have been 4 billion roubles though it may be too low as some "convoys" consisted of 120-140 trucks.
More than that, there are pensions!
However, even those expenses are like a drop in the ocean compared with other expenses connected with "Novorossia" as it is Russia that have to provide the residents of the occupied territory with pensions and social payments.
Where does the money for pensions come from on the territory controled by "L-DPR"? Why are they paid in roubles? These questions have been asked by journalists for a long time. Yevheniy Manuylov, "LPR" "minister of finance" said that pensions are paid out in the currency which the taxes are paid into the budget of the "republic". In March 2015, both "republics" introduced a multy-currency system with hryvnyas, roublrs, dollars, and euros in circulation.
Still, where do the taxes come from? According to businesspeople who try to work on the territory of the so-called "republics", industry has not been restored completely and operates at one-third of its pre-war capacity. Big coal amalgamations continue their work, They belong to Rinat Akhmetov's empire, such as "DTEC Rovenkiantratsyt" and "DTEC Sverdlovantratsyt. However, after the scandal connected with the detention of Dmitriy Lyamin, "LPR" grouping "minister of fuel and energy", it became known that these businesses do not pay taxes to the "LPR" budget, so they do not finance pensions.
After the two months of regular pension payments, Plotnitskiy reported that his "government" had paid out 2 billion roubles, i.e. 87% of what was needed, in other words, a billion a month. Since that time the sum must have increased as retired IDPs started to come back in summer being informed that pensions were paid out. In October, on the territory controlled by "LPR", there were 417,000 retired people, and by "DPR" - 640,000.
The government" in Donetsk says that they had paid 14.4 billion roubles for 7 months from April to October. According to Halyna Sahaydakova, who heads the "DPR" "pension funf", they paid out 2.3 billion roubles in October.
There have been rumours that the money is brough by the same humanitarian convoy white "KamAz" vehicles from Russia. Nobody could confirm it; there was only indirect evidence.
A Bloomberg journalist has heard information about Russian money from two "officials" of separatists' "administration". According to them, 2.5 billion roubles come from Russia to Donetsk monthly, to pay out pensions.
Thus, a monthly trunche to two pro-kremin groupings may reach 3.5 billion roubles. By the end of the year, Russia's pension expenses will have been 31.5 billion roubles.
At the same time, Russian currency has lost 40% of its value for the last year. Partially it happened due to the decline of world oil prices. According to Russian economists, Russian economy will decrease by 4.4 % this year.
The cost of the occupied territories of Ukraine is a significant factor. Nevertheless, the question "What is the price of Novorossia for Russia"? is open. The cost of military equipment and ammunition and the money paid to militants was not taken into account. The sources are unknown.
Besides, there are indirect losses due to the sanctions on the part of the world community. According to Aleksey Kudrin, former minister of finance, these losses ammounted to 1.5% of the GDP, as Russian BBC Service informs. It is about 1 trillion roubls which Russian Federation pays for the agression against Ukraine in the Crimea and the Donbas.
In September, the "chairperson of the DPR state bank" Irina Nikitina told Bloomberg journalist that separtists do not feel any decrease of Russian financing. However, in October and November, both groupings delayed payments of pensions. Both of them explained that it was due to "technical problems".
Though 3.5 billion roubles is not a cinsiderable sum of monet compared to the huge feederal budget of Russia (15 trillion roubles), it seems to be like this only at first sight.
Let us compare 4 billion spent on "humaiitarian convoys", 31.5 billion spent on pensions for "L-DPR" and the annual budget of Rostov-on-the Don with budget of 35.2 billion roubles, Voronezh — 14.9, Belgorod — 9, Kursk — 5.8. Thus, by the end of the year, the RF will have spent 5 Kursk annual budgets or more than 3 Belgorod budgets or more that 2 Voronezh budgets on pensions of "Novorossia". It is not so small.

Mar 18 danity kane's 'dollhouse' turns 10: now this is how you make a pop album
black culture, music, pop culture, the new new
I may not have known the Tyra Banks' iconic phrase "I was rooting for you, we were all rooting for you! How dare you!" at the time, but I sure thought like it when I tuned into the live season finale of Making the Band 4 where Sean "Diddy' Combs kicked Aubrey O'Day — the sexually vivacious and most outspoken member — and D. Woods out of the MTV-crafted pop group Danity Kane. Just a few months, Dawn Richard confirmed that the group had officially broken up.
Danity Kane could've had it all, and they did for the very short time-period they were together. Visually stunning looks, perfectly synchronized choreography. (special thanks to Laurieann Gibson), sex appeal, distinct vocal talents, and diversity. Danity Kane was probably the first primary girl group I knew of that had members of different races. Two white girls (Shannon & Aubrey), black girls (D. Woods & Dawn Richard) and a Latina (Aundrea).
Many successfully (and modest successful) girl group of the 1990s and early 2000s, became non-existent in pop/R&B music with Destiny's Child being the one to last until their eventual split in 2005. After that, it was DK and the Pussycat Dolls who filled the void, keeping girl groups from becoming extinct in the latter half of the 2000s with a string of hit albums, singles, and tours. However, Danity Kane had a one up on PCD. Audiences got to know the individual members of Danity Kane thanks their lives profiled in MTB4 and the five-piece group also made history. Their second album Welcome to the Dollhouse was released 10 years ago Mar 18. 2008 and hit No 1., making them the first and only female-group to have their first two albums debut at No. 1.
Welcome to the Dollhouse came about a year and a half after their eponymous debut and was significantly better than the latter. The incredible thing about WTTDH was how the majority of the songs truly stood up.
20-year-old Charmayne Smith, a native of Queens, a borough of New York City, agrees with the better contrast of WTTDH from Danity Kane. "Welcome to the Dollhouse is better because it showed how much they were growing as a group and their creativity with the music along with the videos.," she said.
There was no air of desperation of trying to be sultry, sensual, sexy and vocally appealing, it's enthusiasm was already there. The melodies were solid, the beats were hard and syncopated, and the hook was playful. Danity Kane worked with heavy hitters such as Jim Beanz, Danja, and The Clutch to follow the same musical agenda that made Britney Spears' 2007 album Blackout a staple with critics and audiences — urban pop with a dark-themed sound.
The album starts off with a corny-but-low-key enjoyable intro where Diddy introduced the five girls whose dream "was to make music and entertain" with the ballerina-in-a-music-box instrumental. It then leads the way to the chirpy-record scratching back melodies of "Bad Girl" that sounds like it can be in any Marvel superhero movie of the 2000s with Missy Elliott's sassy and silly guest verse. The club-ready anthem "Damaged" follows after for the ladies who are entering a new relationship with much trepidation. From there we have the mechanical-techno urban pop number "Pretty Boy," the high school princess-realness of Danja-produced "Strip Tease," and the slinky-styled "Sucka for Love," that make WTTDH a flawless piece of work. The pregnant pauses, seductive moods, heavy breathing and harmonies of "Ecstasy," "2 of You," "Lights Out" add-on to the album's greatness. The icing on the cake was the chance for each member to shine rather than one person dominating the whole song.
The album does have some weak spots. Songs like "Ain't Going" and "Key to your Heart" fall flat and could've easily been cut from the LP. "Poetry" and "Is Anybody Listening" seems to be made with the feeling that many pop starts (or producers) have to throw in one or two ballads to even out the album and show the artists' vocal ability and versatility. Out of the five members, three of the girl unique vocal talents. Aundrea is No. 1 with her powerhouse vocals. Dawn comes second with her husky soprano and incredible runs. And Aubrey is third as she pushers her vocal with a sexual mood attached to it.
Fans and critics do not see their legacy and stardom at the same level of a Destiny's Child, TLC or Spice Girls which is fair. Their commercial success wasn't terrible, but it wasn't through the roof. Their music as one writer puts it was to be "accept[ed]..for what it was."
Albeit let's not forget Danity Kane did the damn thing in the 2000s for the young pre-teens and teens like me who loved everything BET and MTV.
25-year old Vincent of New Jersey was in middle school when Making the Band 3 (where Diddy was searching for a girl group) first came on the air. He believes the group is slept on saying "I think that Danity Kane is very underrated because they make great music, perform all together, all on key when it comes to singing & all move at the same time when it comes to dancing, I've never seen them off key or miss a beat."
Danity Kane's run could've lasted a little longer, but like many female groups, ego, cultural differences, jealousy, solo star desires and Diddy label conflicts got in the way in 2009 and 2014. Too bad because their last single "Lemonade" was a club-banger bop just waiting to the light of day on pop's Top 40 charts.
However, it's never too late for the chance of Aubrey, D. Woods, Dawn, Aundrea, and Shannon to give Danity Kane one more shot. (Third times the charm, right?). Their reunion will be a second blessing for the gays that already excited the new Spice Girls project.
ThatGrapeJuice.com recently reported on March 12 that Aubrey O'Day and Dawn Richard (who got into a physical altercation back in 2014) may have squashed the beef.
An anonymous source told the media outlet exclusively that the two met last month in Los Angeles and had a six-hour conversation while Aubrey O'Day posted to her Instagram story a picture of Dawn in the "Damaged" video with caption: "ok @dawnrichard adlibs."
For now, we'll reminisce about the days we were blasting "Damaged" and "Showstopper" on our iPod.

Apr 17 listening to hip-hop history: mary j. blige - what's the 411 (1992)


In this era of texting-happy teens, it was only a matter of when, not if, someone would take a tumble while messaging on a walk – apparently there are no laws against that yet.
So it's not surprising that 15-year-old Alexa Longueira sank four or five feet deep into a sewer during a stroll on Staten Island.
The only shock was her parents' reaction: We're going to sue.
Instead, Longueira's parents want to make someone pay, though it's not clear whom. The city, which forgot to put out warning signs that the manhole cover was lifted, is a likely suspect, though the daughter could be a defendant as well if klutzy airheadedness is a crime in New York.
How horrible for the tennis shoe. The stench from the sewer isn't the only putrid smell in this case, though.
It's hard to say which possibility reflects worse on the parents: That they genuinely believe that their daughter deserves money for her "trauma" or that they're just looking for pockets to pick.
Though there are some folks who believe there's no such thing as an accident – count the Centers for Disease Control among them – that's exactly what this appears to be.
A silly accident, granted, as well as one that could have been prevented with a modicum of care on Longueira's part. Don't bother blaming the tumble on a lack of a warning sign – that's pure Oscar Mayer.
The lack of warning could be enough to give the parents a hook for a small settlement, but it's baloney nonetheless.
It's sad that the family could collect money for their daughter's irresponsibility. It's even sadder that even if they lose, they've forced the city to spend money defending itself.
Longueiras, Stop Wasting America's Time with your silly threat. Any lawsuit you might file is nothing more than a classic slip-and-fall with a modern, air-headed twist.


Modern quilts are truly a source of inspiration for me. In particular, I love how artists of this craft have taken a skillset of days gone by and modernized the look to appear more contemporary, without sacrificing any of the traditional attention to detail and craftsmanship. This project is a crocheter's take on these modern quilts, as it combines a bright, cheerful palette with a contemporary geometric pattern. My inspiration for this particular project was the push button water arcade toy of my childhood. I tried to capture the sense of the balls falling through the water by placing the colors in a gradient design. This pattern is perfect for showcasing those gorgeous indie skeins, tucking into beloved minis and/or using up those odds and ends that every crafter seems to accumulate!

Police Say Undersecretary Fled Crash, Will Pay Compensation
Yun Samean
Ministry of Foreign Affairs Undersecretary of State Suth Dina left the scene of a traffic accident in Battambang province's Thma Koul district on Saturday but has agreed to pay financial compensate to the 18-year-old student he crashed into, district police chief Yim Vichet said Monday.
Mr Dina was driving a Lexus SUV when he crashed into a motorbike, driven by Pich Leang Hout, which was traveling in the opposite direction, Mr Vichet said.
After the crash, Mr Dina did not stop at the scene and continued driving with a flat tire for 2 km until he was stopped by district police, the police chief said, adding that the motorcycle driver, Mr Leang Hout, sustained a fracture to his collarbone and is currently staying at Battambang's provincial hospital.
Thma Koul deputy district police chief Hang Sophea said Mr Dina claimed he fled the scene following the accident because he was afraid that the victim's family would attack him in revenge for the accident.
"He didn't stop after the crash and continued driving for 2 km," Mr Sophea said, adding that police had followed in pursuit of Mr Dina after he fled the scene.
The hit-and-run case has not been sent to court because the two sides have come to an agreement, he said.
"This is a small case. We have already compromised at district police [level]," Mr Sophea said.
He added that Mr Dina promised to pay for the cost of all medical bills and repairs to the victim's motorbike.
Reached by telephone Monday, Mr Dina denied that the incident was a hit-and-run accident. He said that he continued to drive after the crash because he didn't realize he had hit the victim.
"I will pay the compensation; it was unintentional. It wasn't a hit-and-run accident," he said.
Battambang provincial traffic police chief Sath Kimsan said that district police didn't report the case to the provincial level because the case was too small.

Saturday 5th May 2012 marks the 1st birthday of V-Gen! Believe it or not, a year has already passed since we first opened our doors on that eventful night. During the past year, V-Gen's stage has been used (and abused) 197 times by local and foreign bands alike and has seen tens of hundreds of people enjoy quality live music with a sound setup that live bands rightly deserve. We have really seen a countless amount of amplifiers, guitars, drums and all kinds of musical instruments going up and down that stage! V-gen has also been the only venue in this tiny island to host various events that cater for the alternative, punk, metal and extreme music fans.
These will all play under the same roof on Saturday 5th of May!
Entrance €10 and includes a free drink, First Band kicks off at 21:30!
There will also be a massive happy hour (and a half!) from 8.30pm to 10.00pm so make sure you come early! Offers include: Pitcher Spirits 10 shots @ €7.50 – Tray 12 shots @€7.50 – Spirits @ € 1.50 – Pitcher Cisk @ €5.50 !
Apart from the multitude of Maltese bands ranging from folk to rock and extreme metal, all of these foreign bands (some quite famous and big, others up and coming) have graced our stage: Blackbird Raum (US), Modena City Ramblers (IT), Cut My Skin(GER), Jaya the Cat (NL), Random Hand (UK), Vidi Aquam (IT), Children of the Damned (IT), VPAMC (UK), Discopolis (Scotland), The Shiver (IT), My Drug Hell (UK), Alfabox (IT), Jesper Ejrup (NL), Eimog (IT), Ethnamorte (UK) and Blasphemer (IT)!

Biografia
Inizialmente aderisce alla poesia simbolista collaborando, insieme a Jean Moréas e Gustave Kahn, alle riviste "La Vogue" e "L'Ermitage", e pubblicando le raccolte in versi Cloches en la nuit (1889), Une belle Dame passa (1893) e L'Archipel en fleurs (1895). Successivamente trae ispirazione dalla vita della natura: appartengono a questo periodo, nel quale l'autore risiede a Guermantes, in mezzo alla foresta di Fontainebleau, La forêt bruissante (1896) e Dans la forêt (1903).

Ateo e materialista militante, aderisce alle idee anarchiche, esperienza descritta in Réflexions sur l'anarchie (1904). Nel 1906 si converte al cattolicesimo, testimoniando la sua nuova vita spirituale in opere in prosa, come Du Diable à Dieu (1907), Le Règne de la Bête (1908), Notes sur la psychologie de la conversion (1911) e La conversion (1927).

Easily interchangeable 384-well thermal block cycler unit for the LightCycler® 480 Instrument.
Understanding genetically encoded inherited differences in drug metabolism and drug targets offers the promise of minimizing adverse drug reactions and improving therapies. We have compared two real-time PCR-based methods, the TaqMan® and LightCycler™ for the pharmacogenetic evaluation of CYP2B6 516G>T polymorphism. Both methods were found to be suitable for pharmacogenetic testing of CYP2B6 516G>T in the meaning of time consumption, accurate genotype calling, flexible reaction format, simple data analysis, and low cost per assay. The genotype success rate was similar, but the LightCycler procedure was less expensive in terms of cost per sample and shorter running time.
Quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR) is a frequently used, sensitive and accurate method to study gene expression profiles. However, its throughput was so far limited for routine laboratories to 384 reactions per run based on the limitations of the available instruments. Recently, the LightCycler® 1536 Instrument was launched providing a high-throughput solution for qPCR with the analysis of 1536 reactions in approximately 45 min. We assessed the accuracy and sensitivity of this novel technology for the analysis of gene expression profiles in combination with the InnovadyneTM NanodropTM Express pipetting robot. We compared expression profiles obtained for 42 genes in 71 samples between the Universal ProbeLibrary and the LightCycler® 1536 Instrument and SYBR Green I and the ABI PRISM 7900HT system. We found that the results were highly reproducible between both systems. Beside the higher throughput, the advantage of the LightCycler® 1536 Instrument was the reduced consumption of reagents and sample material.
To evaluate how easy it is to design hrMCA assays using the LightCycler® 480 Instrument, we selected 3 different gene fragments, designed an MCA assay, and tested its sensitivity to detect known variants.
The results show that the LightCycler® 480 Instrument is a convenient and reliable platform for (quantitative) multiplex PCR detection.
miRNA expression quantification as performed here on the LightCycler® 480 System is by far the most sensitive method available, superior over all array-based miRNA profiling systems.
This cross-platform study represents the sensitivity, reliability, and homogeneity provided across the different throughput formats of the plate-based LightCycler® Systems.
Benefit from Roche's experience in real-time PCR and achieve precise, consistent results with a full range of instruments and products to fit any throughput or budget.


In my ongoing efforts to enlighten and educate, I thought I would mention that today is Canada's birthday.
I like a lot of things about Canada.
First, Canada has produced all kinds of knitting prodigies, most lately, Stephanie Pearl-McPhee. Not to mention yarns from Paton's, Bernat, Spinrite, and ... drool drool drool ... Koigu.
Canada makes great beer, too.
Canada has the Canadian Rockies and the Boundary Waters and Niagra Falls. Okay, we share the last two, but still.
Canada has Mounties. Yes, I know the uniform is only a dress uniform, but don't ruin this for me, okay? If we had anything like Mounties in America, a speeding ticket would hurt a lot less. If they wore the uniforms.
Canadians don't assume that the rest of the world considers Canada to be the center of the Universe.
Canada has given the world many wonderful musicians ... Joni Mitchell, Neil Young, Leonard Cohen, k.d. lang and many others, as well as the Montreal Jazz Fest.
And speaking of music ... a patriotic Candian with a normal, untrained voice can actually sing "O, Canada."
Excellent knitterly weather: Sweater weather for the majority of the year, real seasons, and very rare hurricanes.
Canadians, although sometimes armed, seem to understand that it's not really necessary to shoot each other on a regular basis.
Canada gave us Newfoundlands and Labrador Retrievers. Even some obscure breeds. How cool is that?
Canada is a peaceful nation.
Canadians get health care for everyone and dignity for gay folk. I am assuming dignity for everyone else as well.
Canadians tend to think of a second language as a benefit rather than a threat to national security.
Canada has given Americans refuge in times of conflict, whether Americans were in need of a place to get away from Vietnam or in need of being smuggled out of Iran in 1979.
Canadians say, "eh" just like Cajuns.
And of course, Canada gave us Cajuns. If Canada hadn't exiled them, Louisiana would just seem like more of Texas.
Happy Birthday, Canada. Live long and prosper.
Amen. It's a beautiful country full of good people.
Dez, this Canadian really appreciates your comments on Canada, but I really must disillusion you concerning hurricanes! I live in Halifax Nova Scotia. Ever hear of Hurricane Juan? Yes, we had only two deaths, but the damage is still evident three years later and now our ocean is unusally warm again and we're being warned that this could be another bad hurricane season. It pales in comparison to the devastation in New Orleans and surrounds, but it was certainly very real to all of us!
Hi Shirley! Hurricane Juan had indeed slipped my mind. I stand corrected on "no nurricanes" and have amended the blog to read, "rare hurricanes." My apology. It's just that we think of ourselves as being Mother Nature's Bowling Alley down here, and although we know that folks in New England and Southeast Canada get hurricanes, too, the systems have often lost most of their "oompfh" by the time that make it up that far on the map.
I am all too sure it was real for you.
I supose it's kind of the way Northerners don't think of the South getting any accummulation of snow beyond the sleet-and-flurries stage. We don't get white stuff very often ... but it happens!

« What the Chief Librarians said to the campaigners …
One volunteer library, many questions: Walcot Library and matters arising »
Outsourcing, food banks, late fees and 3-D printing (sort of)
Ealing and Harrow libraries look set to be outsourced to Laing. Meanwhile, there's food collections in Wigan libraries for local food banks and there are also two unrelated articles about non-payment of late fees in Camden and Essex. More internationally, there's a great defence of public libraries in New Zealand (under very hostile questioning) and the Australian library association want to hear your views on the future of libraries. Right, after all of that, here's a treat … a not entirely serious suggestion for 3-D printers being the saviour of libraries in a somewhat unorthodox way:
Cartoon by Theresa McCracken
Final chapter for libraries? – TVNZ (New Zealand). Boss of LIANZA (New Zealand library association) makes clear that libraries are alive and well. Three minute segment with tough questioning. "Libraries are important community hubs".
The future of the profession: Themes and scenarios 2025: Discussion paper, 1 May 2013 – Australian Library and Information Assocation. "The purpose of this paper is to promote discussion across the sector between library leaders, information service providers, vendors, practitioners, students, commentators, colleagues in Australia and internationally – anyone and everyone with an interest in the field. The paper is intended to engage, excite, provoke. It is not our blueprint for the future."
Cheshire East – Hurdsfield Library may close.
Cheshire West and Chester – Delivery vans between libraries reduced by one.
Ealing – Library service to be run by JLIS (Laing).
Harrow – Civic Centre Library closing with improvements to "merged" Gayton Library inc. wifi/more space, Library service to be taken over JLIS (Laing).
Northern Ireland – New Draperstown Library opened (twice the size of old one)
Waltham Forest – Harrow Green Community Library (volunteer-run) re-opens after closure of paid-staff library.
Bury – Have your say on library proposals – Bury Times. "The aim is to keep libraries open, while saving money and making greater use of facilities such as the borough's civic halls. The proposals do not include closing libraries or reducing opening hours, but some jobs will be lost."
Camden – Book fine dodgers could have bailed out a doomed library – Ham and High. "Unpaid library fines have rocketed to more than £77,000 across Camden – just £10,000 short of what it costs to run one community library for a year … In comparison, the cost to community campaigners of running Keats Community Library in Hampstead for the year is £87,000, which includes a licence fee for renting the building from the City of London, new book purchases and some staffing costs.". Council says 75,000 borrowers so charges average only £1 per user.
Cheshire East – Hurdsfield by-election winner in library fight vow – Macclesfield Express. ""I hope I will bring experience to this new role and I genuinely want to work with the Conservative leadership to better the conditions of the people of Hurdsfield. "These issues include trying to save the library, supporting the campaign to stop green field development and supporting the Hurdsfield Community Group which wants to create a new community facility. "I hope to meet with the leader of the council over the proposed closure of Hurdsfield Library in the next few weeks and put the case for a part-funded community facility."
Cheshire West and Chester – Library commitment by Cheshire West and Chester Council – Chester Chronicle. "Cheshire West and Chester Council has replaced the voluntary Saughall library with a mobile library which is now visiting the Vernon Institute for just 20 minutes a fortnight." Council says ""Yes, we have reduced the vans but the library is not being closed. The ladies were ready for retirement and the book usage was low. There wasn't a children's section. "What we have put in place is much better and we may increase the amount of time the van is in Saughall based on visitor numbers." She said an 'honesty' library remained in the VI so books could be borrowed on an on-trust basis.".
Croydon – Old Coulsdon Library, which 'looks like Dr Who's Tardis', celebrates 50th anniversary – This is Croydon Today. "When asked if the library was still popular, she said: "Oh yes, very much so. It closes on a Thursday so recently I went to Coulsdon library, which is nothing in comparison to our little one."
Enfield – Temporary library replaces Ordnance Road Library in Enfield Lock – Enfield Independent. "A temporary library is up and running while work is underway to build a library, GP surgery, dentists and community hall in Enfield Lock. The building in Ordnance Road will replace Ordnance Road Library in Hertford Road until the new centre, with all the facilities under one roof, is due to be complete next year."
Essex – Loughton Library, Traps Hill, is one of the top five libraries in the county for unpaid fees – Guardian series. "Libraries across Essex are owed a staggering £315,763.37, in unpaid fines, some of which date as far back as 2009. Members are charged 10 pence per day that a book is overdue in the first week, and £1 per week after that. Charges are capped at £4.70 per item."
Leeds – Your local library, anywhere. Leeds Libraries App for Smartphone – Leeds Libraries. Professional video showcasing a libraries mobile app.
North Yorkshire – Great Ayton community library project to mark first year – Northern Echo. "renamed the Great Ayton Discovery Centre and reopened in May last year by historical novelist Philippa Gregory. Now a 10-strong management team and dozens of volunteers run the centre as a hub of village activity, attracting 4,000 visits every month. It is now a registered charity and has managed to keep afloat with a mixture of parish council and lottery funding and revenue raised by renting out space to community groups, selling handmade crafts and other events."
Northern Ireland – Bright new library opens to public in Draperstown – Mid-Ulster Mail. "Libraries NI has secured a lease on these new premises and in partnership with Workspace Ltd, has created a new purpose built facility aimed at providing the residents of the Draperstown area with a modern, bright and comfortable library offering a range of services. The new library is almost twice the size of the previous library and this additional space boasts a study area, space to display local history material and of course lots of books."
Sheffield – 'Restaurant' proposal for Sheffield libraries at risk of closure – BBC. "18 of the registrations of interest had been from voluntary organisations, six from individuals, two from the business community and one from a parish council. "We've had approaches to have libraries used as digital media centres, internet cafes, job clubs, for art and design classes. We've even had a registration of interest looking at a restaurant or bar, but ensuring that the library opens a lot longer than it's currently open,"
Waltham Forest – Harrow Green Community Library to open doors to public on Saturday – Guardian series. "A new community library will finally be lending books out to the public on Saturday after the idea was first mooted in December 2011. Following the closure of libraries in Harrow Green, Leytonstone, and South Chingford, and after difficulties securing a venue, Harrow Green Community Library is finally ready to open.". 10 volunteers with 1000 books, donations welcome.
Wigan – Libraries being used as food banks – Wigan Today. "In a pioneering move prompted by the ongoing economic downturn, Wigan Leisure and Culture Trust is working with homelessness charity The Brick to use its public buildings as collection points for food donations."
"We believe that libraries are at the heart of the community and so we decided to contact the charity to see if there was anything else we could do to support them. They suggested the Food Bank collections which we thought was a good idea."

\section{Introduction}

The chiral odd generalized transversity distribution $F_T$ is defined as
the off-forward matrix element of the bilocal tensor charge operator. It is
a leading twist generalized quark distribution.
It is parametrized in terms of four GPDs, namely $H_T$, $\tilde H_T$,
$E_T$ and $\tilde E_T$ in  the most general way \cite{markus,chiral,burchi}.
The chiral-odd GPDs give various informations on the transversely polarized
quark distribution in unpolarized and polarized nucleon. A relation for the
transverse total angular momentum of the quarks has been proposed
in \cite{burchi} which involves a
combination of second moments of $H_T, E_T$ and $\tilde H_T$ in the forward
limit. In a previous work we have investigated the chiral odd GPDs for
a simple spin-$1/2$ composite particle for $\zeta=0$ in impact parameter
space \cite{harleen}. Here, we investigate them for nonzero $\zeta$.
Using an overlap formula in terms of the LFWFs both in the
DGLAP ($n \rightarrow n$) and ERBL ( $n+1 \rightarrow n-1$) regions
\cite{ravi}, we investigate them in a simple model, namely  for
the quantum fluctuations  of a  lepton in QED at
one-loop order \cite{drell}. We generalize this analysis
by assigning a mass $M$ to the external electrons and a different
mass $m$ to the internal electron lines and a mass $\lambda$ to the
internal photon lines with $M < m + \lambda$ for stability.
In effect, we shall represent a spin-${1\over 2}$ system as a composite
of a spin-${1\over 2}$ fermion and a spin-$1$ vector boson
\cite{hadron_optics, dis,dip,dip2,marc}. This field theory inspired model
has the correct correlation between the Fock components of the state
as governed by the light-front eigenvalue equation, something that is
extremely difficult to achieve in phenomenological models. GPDs in this
model satisfy general properties like polynomiality and positivity. So it
is interesting to investigate the general properties of GPDs in this model.
By taking Fourier transform (FT) with respect to $\Delta_\perp$, we express
the GPDs in transverse position space and by taking a FT with respect
to $\zeta$ we express them in longitudinal position space. Qualitative
LFWF for the meson and proton can be obtained by taking a derivative
of the above LFWF with respect to the mass \cite{rad}. As a follow up,
we present the distribution of partons in impact  parameter space in
a phenomenological model of the proton GPDs recently proposed in
\cite{simonetta}.

\section{Generalized parton distributions in QED model}

We use the parametrization of \cite{burchi} for the chiral odd GPDs.
Following \cite{drell, hadron_optics}, we take a simple composite spin
$1/2$ state, namely an electron in QED at one loop to investigate the GPDs.
The light-front Fock state wavefunctions corresponding to the
quantum fluctuations of a physical electron can be systematically
evaluated in QED perturbation theory. The state is expanded in Fock
space and there are contributions from $\ket{e^- \gamma}$ and
$\ket{e^- e^- e^+}$, in addition to renormalizing the one-electron state.
Both the two- and three-particle Fock state components are given
in \cite{overlap}. In the domain $\zeta <x <1$, there are diagonal $2 \to 2$
overlaps. Using the overlap formula in \cite{ravi} we calculate the chiral
odd GPDs in this kinematical region. In order to regulate the ultraviolet
divergences we use a cutoff $\Lambda$ on the transverse momentum
$k^\perp$. $\tilde H_T(x,\zeta,t)$ is zero in this model.

We introduce the Fourier conjugate  $b_\perp$ (impact parameter)
of the transverse momentum transfer $\Delta_\perp$. The GPDs can
be expressed in impact parameter space by taking a Fourier transform
\cite{burchi}. In most experiments $\zeta$ is nonzero, and it is
of interest to investigate the chiral odd GPDs in $b_\perp$ space with
nonzero $\zeta$. The probability interpretation of the impact parameter
dependent parton distributions for zero skewness is no longer possible
as now
the transverse positions of the initial and final protons are different as
there is a finite momentum transfer in the longitudinal direction. The GPDs
in impact parameter space probe partons at transverse position $\mid b_\perp
\mid $ with the initial and final proton shifted by an amount of order
$\zeta \mid b_\perp \mid$. Note that this is independent of $x$ and even
when GPDs are integrated over $x$ in an amplitude, this information is still
there \cite{markus2}. Thus the chiral odd GPDs in impact parameter space
gives the spin orbit correlations of partons in protons with their centers
shifted with respect to each other.

\caption{\label{fig1} (Color online) Fourier spectrum of the chiral-odd
GPDs vs. $\mid b_\perp \mid $  for fixed $\zeta$  and
different values of $x$}
\end{figure}

Taking the Fourier transform (FT) with
respect to the transverse momentum transfer
$\Delta_\perp$ we get the GPDs in the transverse impact parameter space.
\begin{eqnarray}
{\cal E}_T(x,\zeta,b_\perp)&=&{1\over (2\pi)^2}\int d^2\Delta_\perp
e^{-i\Delta_\perp \cdot b_\perp} E_T(x,\zeta,t)\nonumber \\
&=&{1\over 2 \pi}\int \Delta d\Delta J_0(\Delta b) E_T(x,\zeta,t),
\ee
where $\Delta=|\Delta_\perp|$ and $b=|b_\perp|$. The other impact
parameter dependent GPDs $\tilde{\cal E}_T(x,\zeta,b_\perp)$ and
${\cal H}_T(x,\zeta,b_\perp)$ can also be defined in the same way.
${\cal H}_T(x,\zeta,b_\perp)$ for a free Dirac particle is expected
to be a delta function; the smearing in $\mid b_\perp \mid $ space
is due to the spin correlation in the two-particle LFWFs.
Fig. \ref{fig1} shows the plots of the above three functions
for fixed $\zeta$ and different values of $x$. For given $\zeta$, the peak
of ${\cal H}_T(x,\zeta,b_\perp)$ as well as $\tilde
{\cal E}_T(x,\zeta,b_\perp)$
increases with increase of $x$, however for ${\cal E}_T(x,\zeta,b_\perp)$
it decreases.

In \cite{wigner}, it was shown that the GPDs are related to a reduced Wigner
distribution $W_\Gamma(\vec{r},x)$  by a Fourier
transform.  For given $x$, this gives a 3D position space picture of the
partons inside the proton. If the probing wavelength is
comparable to or smaller than the Compton wavelength ${1\over M}$, where $M$
is the mass of the proton, electron-positron pairs will be created, as a
result, the static size of the system cannot be probed to a precision better
than  ${1\over M}$ in relativistic quantum theory. However, in light-front
theory, transverse boosts are Galilean boosts which do not involve dynamics.
So one can still express the GPDs in transverse position or impact parameter
space and this picture is not spoilt by relativistic corrections. However,
rotation involves dynamics here and rotational symmetry is lost. In
\cite{hadron_optics}, a longitudinal boost invariant impact parameter
$\sigma$ has been introduced which is conjugate to the
 longitudinal momentum transfer $\zeta$. It was shown that the DVCS
amplitude expressed in terms of the variables $\sigma, b_\perp$ show
diffraction
pattern analogous to diffractive scattering of a wave in optics where the
distribution in $\sigma$ measures the physical size of the scattering
center in a 1-D system. In analogy with optics, it was concluded that the
finite size of the $\zeta$ integration of the FT acts as a slit of finite
width and produces the diffraction pattern.

\begin{figure}

\caption{\label{fig2} (Color online) Fourier spectrum of the chiral-odd
GPDs vs. $\sigma$  for fixed $x$  and different values of $-t$ in
${\mathrm{MeV}^2}$.}
\end{figure}
We define a boost invariant impact parameter conjugate to the  longitudinal
momentum transfer  as
$\sigma={1\over 2}b^-P^+$ \cite{hadron_optics}.  The chiral odd GPD $E_T$
in longitudinal position space is given by :
\begin{eqnarray}
{\cal E}_T(x,\sigma,t)&=& {1\over 2\pi}\int_0^{\zeta_f}d\zeta
e^{i{1\over 2}P^+\zeta b^-} E_T(x,\zeta,t)\nonumber \\
&=&{1\over 2 \pi}\int_0^{\zeta_f} d\zeta e^{i\sigma\zeta} E_T(x,\zeta,t).
\ee
Similarly one can obtain ${\cal H}_T(x,\sigma,t)$ and $\tilde {\cal E}_T
(x,\sigma,t)$ as well. Fig. \ref{fig2} shows the plots of the Fourier
spectrum  of the chiral odd GPDs in
longitudinal position space  as a function of $\sigma$ for fixed $x=0.5$ and
different values of $t$. Both ${\cal E}_T(x,\sigma,t)$ and
${\cal H}_T(x,\sigma,t)$ show diffraction pattern as observed for the DVCS
amplitude in \cite{hadron_optics}; the minima occur at the sames values of
$\sigma$ in both cases.  However $\tilde {\cal E}_T(x,\sigma,t)$
does not show diffraction pattern.
This is due to the distinctively different behaviour of
$\tilde E_T(x,\zeta,t)$ with $\zeta$ compared to that of  $E_T(x,\zeta,t)$
and
$H_T(x,\zeta,t)$. $\tilde E_T(x,\zeta,t)$ rises smoothly from zero and
has no flat plateau in $\zeta$ and thus does not exhibit any diffraction
pattern when Fourier transformed with respect to $\zeta$.
The position of first minima in  Fig.\ref{fig2} is determined by $\zeta_f$.
For $-t=5.0$ and $1.0$, $\zeta_f \approx x=0.5$
 and thus the first minimum appears at the same position while for
$-t=0.1$,
$\zeta_f =\zeta_{max}\approx 0.45$ and the minimum appears  slightly
shifted.
This is analogous to the single slit optical diffraction pattern.
$\zeta_f$ here plays the role of the slit width.
Since the positions of the minima (measured from the center of
the diffraction pattern) are inversely proportional to the slit width,
the minima
move away from the center as the slit width (i.e., $\zeta_f$) decreases.
The  optical analogy of the diffraction pattern in $\sigma$ space has been
discussed in \cite{hadron_optics} in the context of DVCS amplitudes.

In ref. \cite{simonetta} a phenomenologically motivated parametrization of
the GPDs $H$ and $E$ are given by fitting the form factor data at zero
skewness. Regge type exchanges are incorporated. In Fig.3, we show the plots
of the GPD $H$ for u-quarks in impact parameter space as a function of
$b_\perp$ and also as a function of $x$.

\section{Conclusion}
In this work, we studied the chiral-odd GPDs in transverse and
longitudinal position space. Working in light-front gauge, we used
overlap formulas for the chiral odd GPDs in terms of proton
light-front wave functions  in the DGLAP region.
We used a self consistent relativistic two-body model, namely the quantum
fluctuation  of an electron at one loop in QED. We used its most general
form \cite{drell}, where we have a different mass for the external electron
and different masses for the internal electron and photon.
The impact parameter space representations are obtained by taking Fourier
transform of the GPDs with respect to the transverse momentum transfer.
When $\zeta$ is non-zero, the initial and final proton are displaced in the
impact parameter space relative to each other by an amount proportional to
$\zeta$. As this is the region probed by most experiments, it is of interest
to investigate this. By taking a Fourier transform with respect to $\zeta$
we presented the GPDs in the boost invariant longitudinal position space
variable $\sigma$. $H_T$ and $E_T$ show diffraction pattern in $\sigma$ space.
We also presented chiral even GPDs in impact parameter space using a
recently proposed parametrization.

My attempt at taking a photo a day to push my boundaries and get better at the craft of photography.
It's July and I'm still not finished processing my Yellowstone shots..I took quite a few. I didn't walk up to this guy, he was walking down the road and I was taking shots from the sunroof in the car.
