Federated States of Micronesia: his story
October 4, 2012 By Ann Morgan in Oceania, The stories Tags: books, culture, Emelihter Kihleng, Federated States of Micronesia, history, Luelen Bernart, myth, Pacific, translation	10 Comments
I was running out of ideas for the FSM. I had been in touch with a whole range of Pacific Island literature experts and academics based at universities in Hawaii, Australia, New Zealand and Guam. I had emailed cultural associations, community radio stations and local celebrities. And I had left messages on every sort of blog to do with Oceania that I could find.
Everyone who got back to me said the same thing: if I was looking for poetry, there would be no problem. There were lots of Micronesian poets knocking around. There was even a Micronesian Poets Club. And of course Emelihter Kihleng represented the country at Poetry Parnassus in London this summer.
But as for prose. Well… from a nation that size I'd be very lucky to find anything at all.
Beginning to despair, I looked Emelihter Kihleng up on Facebook. Perhaps she might be able to suggest something?
Kihleng very kindly replied: there was a creative history of the island of Pohnpei by Pohnpeian Luelen Bernart. It was out of print, but if I dug around online I should be able to find a copy.
I looked the book up. My heart sank slightly when I found that it had been published posthumously in 1977, two years before the formation of FSM's constitutional government and nine years before the country declared independence from the US. Could it really count as literature from FSM?
However, as I read more about village chief Bernart, who died in 1946, having grown up before the island came under foreign control, I began to feel that there might be a case for relaxing my rule that literature must have been written since the foundation of the country in this instance – particularly as, as an island nation, the boundaries of Pohnpei have in one sense not shifted for hundreds of years. Besides, I was intrigued about what was inside.
Containing spells, songs, legends, lists of plants, tools and star names, and even a potted history of the deaths of the apostles, The Book of Luelen sets out to tell the story of life on Pohnpei from the dawn of creation up until the time of writing. Part mythology, part history and part personal testimony, with a smattering of biblical tropes and stylistic techniques thrown in for good measure, the work is one of the most eclectic and ambitious pieces of prose going.
Bernart's writing is richest in its handling of lore and mythology. Whether he is describing the underworld beneath the sea, the second heaven or 'place for people who had poor voices in singing', or the development of civilization on the land in between, the author is engaging and often surprising. We hear of the battles between the Arem (humans) and the Liat (cannibals), the story of the magic man Taimuan who drops his defects off on surrounding islands in order to trick a woman into marrying him, and the spirit who travels the world and writes a song about his adventures, not to mention a whole host of recipes, tips and explanations for why certain plants, rituals and ceremonies sprang up.
Exhilarating though the sheer scope of the work is, it can also be problematic. Bernart, who worked on the book for 12 years and dictated the closing chapters to his daughters shortly before his death, clearly feels a pressure to get as much down as he can, sometimes at the expense of narrative coherence. As he explains in his preface, the point of the exercise as he sees it is to get the information written in the first place – 'let those who know hear and correct this later', he writes.
This impatience manifests itself in a number of ways. From repeated assertions that there is not enough time to explain certain concepts in the text, to pat generalisations that 'the people of this age are better than those of olden times', which the author seems to expect us to take on trust, Bernart bustles us along with a briskness that can make for rather bewildering reading. In addition, the sudden introduction of historical dates and statistics when the narrative comes to the events of the 19th century feels rather startling.
It is perhaps only when we understand the context of the work that such anxious haste makes sense. When he penned the book, Bernart was not only up against his own mortality but also the fact that, apart from translations of The Bible and a few religious tracts, no stories had been written in his language (he spoke a Kiti dialect). Using a written system that had itself been developed by American missionaries in the 1850s, his book was the first complete record of the nation's history according to a Pohnpeian. It was a political act as much as an act of conservation.
And the importance of that act showed: although the work was only formally published in 1977, it was circulated in numerous manuscript versions around the island after Bernart's death. Even in this edition, with numerous forewords, introductions and notes by Western academics (who even published a supplementary volume of annotations to convey their full interpretation of the text to the English-language reader) the passion of the writer to tell his story his way shines through. In many ways it is an attempt to contain not just a nation but also an entire universe. Marvellous.

Q: Passing two arguments to nested where results in "and `` is null" appended to query       if ($input['search']) {
            $args = array($query, $input);
            $query->where(call_user_func_array(function($query, $input) {
                $query->where('tbl_products.name', 'LIKE', '%' . $input['search'] . '%')
                    ->orwhere('sku', 'LIKE', '%' . $input['search'] . '%');
            }, $args));
        }
    }
    return $query;

Above is a section of my query where I intend to create a nested where clause that resembles:
WHERE
    m.name = 'name' AND
    (p.name LIKE "% example %" or p.sku LIKE "% example %")

I've made use of the 'call_user_func_array' to pass in multiple arguments to the closure (only way I could pass the user input to the where clause).
Unfortunately I receive a query exception that looks a little like this:

Unknown column '' in 'where clause'
   ...name LIKE %example% or sku LIKE %example% and `` is null

and `` is null has been appended to the end. I think this is something to do with the original where clause needing two arguments but I'm struggling to get around it. Any help would be appreciated.

A: Try something like this:
if ($input['search']) {
    $query->where(function ($query) use ($input) {
        $query->where('tbl_products.name', 'LIKE', '%' . $input['search'] . '%')
            ->orWhere('sku', 'LIKE', '%' . $input['search'] . '%');
    });
}

You can pass variables to a closure via use.
Reference: Anonymous Functions.

A: You don't need to call call_user_func_array and you did it wrong. For nested where clause, in your case you nay use something like this:
// Assumed that you have $query variable, so

$query
->where('m.name', 'name') // = is optionl
->where(function($query) use ($input) // use copies the variable inside the function scope
{
    $query
    ->where('p.name', 'LIKE', '%' . $input['search'] . '%')
    ->orWhere('p.sku', 'LIKE', '%' . $input['search'] . '%');
});

This is an example to structure your query but probably you need to adjust because you didn't provide enough information.

\section{Introduction}

High-temperature superconductivity commonly lies within a special region as a function of tuning parameters (e.g., chemical substitutions), where quantum criticality governs the essential physics \cite{RevModPhys.77.721,RevModPhys.82.2421,RevModPhys.84.1383,RevModPhys.87.855,keimer2015quantum}. In the electron-doped cuprates, antiferromagnetic (AF) order emerging from the Mott insulating phase competes with superconductivity. Advanced techniques like muon spin rotation and neutron scattering experiments unveiled that the long-range AF order vanishes before the appearance of superconductivity \cite{saadaoui2015phase,motoyama2007spin}. However, the reconstruction of Fermi surface (FS) underneath the superconducting dome observed by electrical transport \cite{jin2011link,Mandal5991} and angle resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) \cite{He3449,RN159} measurements, requires an extended AF state or spin density wave into the overdoped region. Although many works give evidence to support the AF scenario \cite{PhysRevLett.94.057005,PhysRevB.72.214506,Mandal5991}, the origin of the reconstruction remains controversial. Very recently, ferromagnetic (FM) \cite{Sarkar532} order was reported in the electron-doped cuprates, which adds more complexity to this system. Superconductivity is accompanied by the evolution of magnetic ordered states from birth to death. A deep understanding of the interplay between superconducting and magnetic states is needed.

Magnetic field as a parameter of quantum phase transitions can tune both the superconductivity and magnetic ordered states, by which the evolution of spin-dependent states can been obtained. Among all electron-doped cuprates, La$_{2-x}$Ce$_x$CuO$_{4\pm\delta}$ (LCCO) is a unique one that exhibits a complete superconducting dome with Ce doping, as illustrated in Fig. \ref{Fig1}. Upon Ce substitution of La, the superconductivity emerges at $x=0.06$ and reaches the maximum transition temperature ($T_{\mathrm{c}}$) at $x=0.10$, where it intersects with the boundary of the AF state (or spin density wave) \cite{Mandal5991,ZHANG201618,PhysRevB.96.155449}. At this point, the magnetic field can act as a perturbation in energy to tip the balance between the AF and superconducting states. Therefore, LCCO provides a good platform to study the electronic states as a function of magnetic field.

\begin{figure}[htbp]
\includegraphics[width=\columnwidth]{Figure1.pdf}
\caption{\label{Fig1}Phase diagram of LCCO obtained from magneto-electrical transport measurements. The side panel illustrates the Ce doping dependence of the superconducting dome. With increasing doping, LCCO exhibits a maximum $T_{\mathrm{c}}$ at $x=0.10$. The main panel shows the field-temperature ($B$-$T$) diagram of $x=0.10$ samples (S1, S2, and S3). The coordinate axes are normalized by two characteristic quantities $B_{\mathrm{c}}$ and $T_{\mathrm{k}}^0$, respectively. Here, $B_{\mathrm{c}}$ is obtained by extrapolating the boundary of canted AF state to zero-temperature limit (for the three samples, $B_{\mathrm{c}}\sim$ 62, 55, and 52 T). $T_{\mathrm{k}}^0$ corresponds to the temperature of Fermi surface reconstruction in zero-field limit (for the three samples, $T_{\mathrm{k}}^0\sim$ 32, 27, and 26 K), manifesting as a `kink' in the Hall coefficient (see Fig. \ref{Fig2}). The normalized boundaries of three samples can be fitted by the holographic model (black solid line), which also predicts an energy gap (dotted line) above $B_{\mathrm{c}}$. Three regions can be identified in the $B$-$T$ diagram, i.e., $n$-MR (blue), $p$-MR (white) and superconducting (orange) regions. The dashed line is mean-field fitting, which deviates data near the quantum critical point $B_{\mathrm{c}}$.}
\end{figure}

Here, we performed systematic magnetotransport measurements up to 55 T on optimally doped LCCO thin films ($x=0.10$) and established an intriguing field-tuned phase diagram. As summarized in Fig. \ref{Fig1}, the field-temperature ($B$-$T$) panel reveals three phase transitions at zero-temperature limit: (i) a superconducting phase transition at $\sim$ 9 T; (ii) an AF quantum phase transition at a characteristic field $B_{\mathrm{c}}$; and (iii) a plausible topological phase transition that coexists with the short-range AF order in between, signified by the crossover of resistivity from an anomalous enhancement (positive magnetoresistance, $p$-MR) to an reduction (negative magnetoresistance, $n$-MR) with increasing magnetic field. The $p$-MR region, which isolates the superconducting phase from the $n$-MR region can extend to $\frac{1}{2}B_{\mathrm{c}}$. In addition, samples with different $T_{\mathrm{c}}$'s (by slightly tuning oxygen) show a universal AF-state boundary that can be described by the holographic model (the black dashed line). This model also predicts a soft spin gap above $B_{\mathrm{c}}$ (dotted line at the bottom right corner). Thereafter, we will demonstrate the AF phase transition based on our magnetotransport results and explore the origin of the $p$-MR.

\section{Experiments}

The $c$-axis-oriented LCCO ($x=0.10$) films were deposited on the $(00l)$-oriented SrTiO$_3$ substrates by a pulsed laser deposition system. The thicknesses of the films were measured by scanning electron microscope: $d=230$ nm (S1, S2) and 110 nm (S3, S4). Detailed transport measurements were carried out on four LCCO film samples with different $T_{\mathrm{c}0}$'s: 25.6 K (S1), 25.3 K (S2), 24.1 K (S3) and 23.1 K (S4) by slightly tuning the oxygen content during the film deposition. Here, $T_{\mathrm{c}0}$ is the critical temperature at which the resistance reaches zero. Magnetotransport measurements in field up to 58 T were performed using a non-destructive pulsed magnet with a pulsed duration of 60 msec at Wuhan National High Magnetic Field Center. Magnetoresistance (MR) and Hall resistance were measured simultaneously with a typical Hall-bar configuration. Data for the up- and down-sweeping of the pulse field were in good agreement, thus we could exclude the heating effect of the sample by the eddy current. Measurements with both positive and negative field polarities were performed for all samples and measuring temperatures to eliminate the effect of contact asymmetries.

\section{Results}

Relatively low upper critical field of electron-doped cuprates (e.g., typically $<10$ T for LCCO) facilitates the study of phase transitions via electrical transport. Figure \ref{Fig2}(a) shows the temperature dependence of the Hall coefficient $R_{\mathrm{H}}$ ($R_{\mathrm{H}}(T,B)=\rho_{xy}(T)/B$) and the resistivity $\rho_{xx}(T)$ at $B=15$ T. As the superconducting state is destroyed by the field, we observe a `kink' in the $R_{\mathrm{H}}$ curve, namely, the Hall coefficient changes gently at high temperature but drops quickly below a characteristic temperature $T_{\mathrm{k}}$. Here, $T_{\mathrm{k}}$ is the temperature at which the Hall coefficient reaches the maximum ($T_{\mathrm{k}}\sim 29\pm 3$ K for sample S1). Concurrently, an upturn in the resistivity appears at the temperature $T_{\mathrm{u}}\sim 32\pm4$ K, that is, from $d\rho/dT>0$ to $d\rho/dT<0$ as the temperature decreases. In electron-doped cuprates, the `kink' in $R_{\mathrm{H}}(T)$ and the corresponding `upturn' in $\rho_{xx}(T)$ are commonly regarded as signatures of FS reconstruction \cite{PhysRevB.96.155449,PhysRevB.80.012501}.

Figure \ref{Fig2}(b) shows the $R_{\mathrm{H}}(T)$ and $\rho_{xx}(T)$ curves of S1 in different magnetic fields. Remarkably, both the kink in $R_{\mathrm{H}}(T)$ and the upturn in $\rho_{xx}(T)$ fade away at high magnetic field, and $T_{\mathrm{k}}$ ($T_{\mathrm{u}}$) gradually shifts toward lower temperatures [Fig. \ref{Fig2}(c)]. In electron-doped cuprates, the FS reconstruction is usually attributed to the AF ordering \cite{PhysRevB.96.155449,PhysRevB.80.012501}. The evolution of Hall coefficient with Ce doping is consistent with theory, which considers a two-dimensional system undergoing a spin density wave instability \cite{PhysRevB.72.214506}. And near the quantum critical point, the AF fluctuation is detected \cite{Mandal5991}. In our results, the `kink' and `upturn' behaviors can be tuned by magnetic field, which provides strong evidence that the Fermi surface reconstruction origin from spin instead of charge. Since the Hall signal is more sensitive to carrier number, we will use the $T_{\mathrm{k}}(B)$ curve to track the energy scales of temperature and field for the AF transition. By extrapolating the $T_{\mathrm{k}}(B)$ to zero temperature, one can obtain a critical field $B_{\mathrm{c}}$ where the kink is suppressed by the field in quantum limit (i.e., $T=0$ K). Also, that $T_{\mathrm{k}}^0=T_{\mathrm{k}}(B=0)$ reveals the energy scale of classic AF phase transition at zero-field limit. Using normalized temperature and field, i.e., $T/T_{\mathrm{k}}^0$ and $B/B_{\mathrm{c}}$, we are able to scale these two quantities in shaping the electronic phase diagram of LCCO as shown in Fig. \ref{Fig1}. It is interesting that the boundaries of the AF state for samples S1-S3 almost overlap with each other, suggesting a universal scaling between temperature and magnetic field.

\end{figure*}

In Fig. \ref{Fig2}(b), different $\rho_{xx}(T)$ curves overlap at low temperatures, indicating that the resistivity is non-monotonically dependent on the magnetic field. Such non-monotonic behavior can be better viewed in isothermal $\rho_{xx}(B)$ curves. As shown in Fig. \ref{Fig3}(a), a crossover from $p$-MR ($d\rho/dB>0$) to $n$-MR ($d\rho/dB<0$) occurs below 30 K, which becomes more prominent at lower temperatures. We define a characteristic magnetic field $B_{\max}$ that gives the maximum resistivity, which moves to higher field with decreasing temperature. Simultaneously, the isothermal Hall resistivity curves $\rho_{xy}(B)$ display minima at low temperatures as shown in Fig. \ref{Fig3}(c). Above 30 K, the crossover disappears and the resistance is always enhanced with magnetic field ($p$-MR) [Fig. \ref{Fig3}(b)]. The simultaneous appearance of these two extremum points indicates that there is a competition between two electronic states, which is strongly dependent with temperature.

(c, d) With decreasing temperature, there is a switching from linear to non-linear behavior. The minimum in $\rho_{xy}$ curves corresponding to $B_{\max}$ also disappears above 30 K.}

\section{Discussions}

\subsection{A jump of Hall number in AF phase transition}

To describe the universal quantum phase transition more quantitatively, we extract the Hall number, $n_{\mathrm{H}}=\frac{V}{eR_{\mathrm{H}}(0)}$, which reflects the average carrier doping per Cu atom. Here, $e$ is the electron charge; $V$ is the volume per Cu atom in the CuO$_2$ planes and $R_{\mathrm{H}}(0)$ represents the Hall coefficient extrapolated to zero temperature. Figure \ref{Fig4}(a) shows the field dependent $n_{\mathrm{H}}$ of sample S2 (the $B_{\mathrm{c}}$ of this sample is slightly lower than that of S1, and thereby can be accessed in the experiments). At low fields, the Hall number $n_{\mathrm{H}}$ equals $-0.1$; at high fields, it jumps to a positive value and tends to saturate at 55 T, where $n_{\mathrm{H}}=0.9$. This jump brings to mind the Ce doping dependence of Hall number $n_{\mathrm{H}}(x)$, which follows a similar change from $-x$ to $1-x$ at the quantum critical point (QCP) ($x_{\mathrm{AF}}=0.14$, as seen in Fig. \ref{Fig1}) \cite{PhysRevB.96.155449}. As shown in Fig. \ref{Fig4}(b), the values of $n_{\mathrm{H}}(B)$ at 15 and 55 T match well with the data extracted from Refs. \cite{PhysRevB.96.155449,PhysRevB.80.012501}, suggesting a field-induced FS reconstruction. ARPES experiments have revealed a large hole-like pocket around $(\pi,\pi)$ in overdoped Nd$_{2-x}$Ce$_x$CuO$_4$ (NCCO), which can be reconstructed to small electron pockets once AF state enters at lower Ce doping levels \cite{PhysRevB.75.224514,PhysRevLett.88.257001}. The resemblance between $n_{\mathrm{H}}(B)$ and $n_{\mathrm{H}}(x)$ suggests the recovery of a large hole pocket FS when the AF order is suppressed.

\end{figure}

\subsection{The fitting of AF boundary}

In order to understand the AF boundary in a quantitative way, two methods including the mean-field theory and holographic model are considered. The analysis of a magnetic system in the frame work of the mean-field approach involves its thermodynamic potential given by Lev Landau \cite{Landau}. In AF phase, the mean field order parameter $L$ for antiferromagnetic order is equal to $\sqrt{a(T-T_{\mathrm{c}})/2b+\beta/2b}$ and the critical temperature in this case is determined by the equation $a(T-T_{\mathrm{N}}^0)\pm\beta/2=0$. At weak field limit, the Neel temperature is given by $T_{\mathrm{N}}(B)=T_{\mathrm{N}}^0-D'B^2/a-\beta/2a$. Here, $a$, $b$ and $D'$ are parameters which can be determined from a comparison with experiments. The $T_{\mathrm{N}}^0$ is the Neel temperature at zero-field limits. The fitting curve based on the mean-field theory is shown in Fig. \ref{Fig1} (dashed line). At low field region, the Neel temperature of the AF critical transition depends quadratically on the magnetic field, while deviates fitting curve near critical magnetic field. Therefore, the mean-field theory cannot describe the phase transition, nor predict the quantum critical point accurately in our system.

For the strongly correlated system, a new method, called holographic model is developed from the string theory and has been widely applied to study various strongly correlated phenomena, especially the AF phase transition \cite{PhysRevD.92.046005,PhysRevD.92.086001}. We attempt to apply this model to our system. The boundary of AF state for three samples can be well fitted by the holographic model in the whole magnetic field range (black solid line in Fig. \ref{Fig1}, see details in Appendix). In the limit of the small magnetic field ($B\ll B_{\mathrm{c}}$), the holographic model also gives a quadratic relation with magnetic field same as the mean field calculation. However, when the magnetic field is large, a completely different violation of the hyper-scaling equation is obtained. The function of $T_{\mathrm{N}}$ has an exact asymptotic behavior as $T_{\mathrm{N}}/T_{\mathrm{N}}^0\sim(1-B/B_{\mathrm{c}})$. In this case the Neel temperature, denoted by $T_{\mathrm{k}}$ in this paper, vanishes in magnetic field in a highly nontrivial way described by this equation.

Successfully utilizing this model not only provides another piece of evidence for the AF quantum phase transition, but also predicts a polarized FM state above $B_{\mathrm{c}}$, with an excited energy gap $\Delta$ satisfying: $$\Delta\sim k_{\mathrm{B}}T_{\mathrm{k}}^0\left(\frac{B}{B_{\mathrm{c}}}-1\right),\quad 0<\frac{B}{B_{\mathrm{c}}}-1\ll 1.$$Perhaps not coincidently, a recent work reported the existence of a FM order right beyond the endpoint of the superconducting dome in LCCO \cite{Sarkar532}. The field-tuned phase diagram of optimally doped LCCO discloses one AF-FM QCP at $B_{\mathrm{c}}$. In contrast, the Ce doping phase diagram shows two QCPs, i.e., $x_{\mathrm{AF}}=0.14$ and $x_{\mathrm{FM}}=0.175$. Whether the involvement of superconductivity and its interaction with the AF state break the AF-FM QCP into two is an interesting issue worthy of future study.

\subsection{Abnormal $p$-MR}

The $n$-MR is common in AF state \cite{PhysRevLett.94.057005,PhysRevB.77.172503,Yu2017}. In our study, the starting field of $n$-MR ($B_{\max}$) is the same as the characteristic field where $n_{\mathrm{H}}$ deviates from $-0.1$ as shown in Fig. \ref{Fig4}(a). This indicates the $n$-MR is closely tied to the modulation of the AF spin polarization by the magnetic field. Therefore, the $n$-MR can be naturally explained: Carrier hopping from Cu sites to its nearest neighbors is prohibited in some extend by the AF spin configuration, but it is possible that the magnetic field deflects spins of the short-range AF order and provides a polarized FM channel (mimicking the canted AF state), which subsequently enhances the conductivity and causes the $n$-MR effect. The $p$-MR at low temperatures seems unusually large compared to the normal MR. We take a definition of $\delta\rho(B)=\frac{d\rho(B)}{dB}\frac{1}{\rho(B)}$ to evaluate the magnitude of the anomalous $p$-MR. Figure \ref{Fig5}(a) shows $\delta\rho(12\,\mathrm{T})$ as a function of temperature for samples S1-S3. It is almost temperature independent below 15 K, and decreases substantially as the temperature rises. Above the onset temperature of the AF state, it drops more than 90 percent and becomes comparable to the normal MR of $x=0.16$ sample without an AF order \cite{Sarkareaav6753} (white dots).

For optimally-doped LCCO, the upper critical field is about $\sim 9$ T. Previous experiments have clearly shown that superconducting fluctuations in electron-doped cuprates are weak above the critical temperature/field compared with their hole-doped counterparts \cite{PhysRevB.73.024510}. For instance, the large Nernst voltage due to superconducting fluctuations will be quickly wiped out once the field is a few Tesla higher than the upper critical field \cite{PhysRevB.76.174512,PhysRevB.97.014522}. Therefore, superconducting fluctuations are not expected to contribute to the $p$-MR up to 35 T.

Recently, charge order has been disclosed in electron-doped cuprates \cite{daSilvaNeto282,daSilvaNetoe1600782,RN160}. Matsuoka {\it et al.} observed an enhancement of $T_{\mathrm{u}}$ (upturn in resistivity) and attribute it to charge order correlations \cite{PhysRevB.98.144506}. However, on one hand, the strength of the charge order is even stronger in the overdoped region \cite{daSilvaNetoe1600782,RN160}, but the anomalous $p$-MR is not observed in overdoped LCCO. On the other hand, the $\delta\rho$ for LCCO in this work as well as the data from previous studies \cite{PhysRevB.77.172503,PhysRevB.78.174521} shows a positive correlation with $T_{\mathrm{c}0}$ in a range from 22 to 26 K [Fig. \ref{Fig5}(c)]. The positive correlation also does not support charge order as the origin of the unusual $p$-MR effect, since it competes with the superconductivity \cite{chang2012direct,Ghiringhelli821}.

Note that the greatly enhanced $\delta\rho$ at low temperatures occurs in the AF region, suggesting an unambiguous link between the $p$-MR effect and the AF order. It has been reported that the FS reconstruction induced by the AF order leads to the coexistence of electron and hole pockets, which may also result in a $p$-MR behavior \cite{PhysRevB.76.174512,li2019hole}. However, in the $p$-MR region of our study, the Hall number ($n_{\mathrm{H}}=-0.1$) is consistent with the nominal value of electron carriers, suggesting a dominant contribution from the electron pocket. This result agrees with a previous study \cite{PhysRevB.69.024504}, which demonstrates a similar effect between temperature and doping in tuning the FS. By decreasing the temperature/doping, electron pocket is supposed to dominate the transport eventually at low $T$ or $x$, challenging the explanation of two-band-driven $p$-MR.

\subsection{Topological order}

A topological order coexisting with short-range AF order \cite{PhysRevX.8.021048,ScheurerE3665,Sachdev_2018} has been proposed recently to understand the energy gap in overdoped NCCO in the ARPES \cite{He3449} and Shubnikov-de Haas oscillation \cite{PhysRevLett.105.247002} studies. Here, we consider this scenario and propose a reasonable configuration of topological order which consistently explains the $p$-MR observed in our experiment. The presence of this topological order, based on the displacement of doped electron among the Cu$^{2+}$ and its neighboring oxygen sites, prevents the spins with $\pi$-fluxes from being realigned by the magnetic field [as shown in Fig. \ref{Fig6}(a)]. Each triangular plaquette may have a positive or negative chirality, which is associated with the orientation of the spin-orbital currents arising around the doped Cu site. Electrons doped into copper Cu$^{2+}$-site tend to move to the neighboring oxygens due to strong on-site Hubbard $U$. A possible sequence of electron hopping along the shortest triangular trajectory is depicted on right panel of Fig. \ref{Fig6}(b) (lines 1-4). As a result of these tunneling sequences, we have the same charge but different spin configurations on the triangular O-Cu-O, which constitutes a $\pi$-phase change. Only by moving the electron twice around the same triangular path is the total phase $2\pi$ and the original state recovered. Therefore, this specific topological order supports orbital currents or moments, related to gauge $Z_2$ field.

\begin{figure}[htbp]
\includegraphics[width=\columnwidth]{Figure6.pdf}
\caption{\label{Fig6}The schematic description of the topological order. (a) The topological order is best visualized by considering a Cu-O-O triangular plaquette on the Cu-O plane. On the plaquette the Cu$^{2+}$-ion has a pre-localized spin and two neighboring oxygens. Clockwise and anticlockwise $\pi$-orbital currents or moments are shown in pink and blue, respectively. (b) The sequence tunneling of a doped electron. Such state is unstable and this instability can lead to the formation of spontaneous local orbital current. (c) A schematic depiction of the dissociation of the vortex-antivortex pairs (or clockwise and anticlockwise orbital currents) by magnetic field. The magnetic field is applied perpendicular to the plane of the quadruple moments. The field polarizes orbital currents of a particular chirality and thereby causes an unbinding of the vortex-antivortex pairs when the limit is approached. This leads to a Beresinki-Kosterlitz-Thouless like phase transition.}
\end{figure}

In each quadruplet there are four ordered plaquettes: two have positive chirality and two have negative chirality. There is a local $C_2$ symmetry similar to a $d$-wave-like state. Here, the sign is simply an indication of the spin-orbital current associated with each plaquettes. Each quadruplet forms four $\pi$-fluxons with zero topological charge and is nearly homogeneously distributed around CuO$_2$ plane. The $\pi$-flux is created together with spin and orbital currents. That spin-orbit coupling keeps the in-plane orientation of the spin involved in a particular $\pi$-flux. This naturally impedes the deflection of the spins and leads to a $p$-MR behavior.

The magnetic field may induce an imbalance between the plaquettes of the positive and negative chirality. As the magnetic field increases, the plaquettes of one particular chirality are enhanced, while the plaquettes of the opposing chirality are suppressed. This leads to a decrease of the binding energy of $\pi$-fluxes in the quadruplet configuration. As a result, at some critical magnetic field the topological $\pi$-fluxons are decoupled from quadruplets and topological phase transition occurs as shown in Fig. \ref{Fig6}(c). The de-coupling of the $\pi$-fluxons is similar to the unbinding of vortices and anti-vortices in the Beresinski-Kosterlitz-Thouless (BKT) transition. Note that in the proposed topological order only the spins involved in the formation of $\pi$-fluxons quadruplets are not canted and contribute to $p$-MR properties. When all $\pi$-fluxons are unbound, the quadruplets vanish and the screening orbital currents disappear. Consequently, we see a gradual transition from $p$-MR to $n$-MR as the magnetic field increases.

\subsection{The relation between $p$-MR and superconductivity}

As aforementioned, the $\delta\rho$ is generally larger for samples with higher $T_{\mathrm{c}}$ in a window of 22 to 26 K by slightly tuning the oxygen of optimally Ce-doped samples [Fig. \ref{Fig5}(c)]. This rule also applies to samples as a function of Ce doping, e.g., NCCO and PCCO \cite{PhysRevB.76.174512,li2019hole}, in which the $p$-MR reaches the maximum at optimal Ce doping. For LCCO, the underdoped samples without superconductivity only show $n$-MR. With increasing Ce doping, $p$-MR and superconductivity emerge simultaneously as the long-range AF order is destroyed \cite{PhysRevB.77.172503,Yu2017}. Field and doping, once again, show a resemblance in tuning the MR besides the similarity of jump in Hall number at the AF QCP. Another quantity, $B_{\max}^0$, obtained by extrapolating the $B_{\max}(T)$ to zero temperature [inset of Fig. \ref{Fig5}(d)], also shows a positive correlation with $T_{\mathrm{c}}$ [Fig. \ref{Fig5}(d)]. Larger $B_{\max}^0$ corresponds to an extended $p$-MR region, suggesting a larger field energy scale to destroy the state that causes $p$-MR. Overall, both quantities, $\delta\rho$ and $B_{\max}^0$, are intimately linked to $T_{\mathrm{c}}$.

Notably, the $p$-MR (e.g., at 1.8 K) shows a roughly linear dependence on field. Both linear-in-temperature and linear-in-field resistivities have been discovered in LCCO from $x=0.14$ to $x=0.17$, being the signatures of a strange-metal state \cite{jin2011link,Sarkareaav6753}. We note that Sarkar {\it et al.} just reported a linear-in-temperature resistivity that extends down to $x=0.12$ (below $x_{\mathrm{AF}}$), as the resistivity upturn is suppressed at 65 T \cite{arXiv2007.12765}. For our optimally doped LCCO, the field up to 60 T cannot fully suppress the resistivity upturn [Fig. \ref{Fig2}(b)]. This means a much larger field energy scale to realize the linear-in-$T$ resistivity in LCCO with $x=0.10$, given that such feature is indeed hidden underneath the resistivity upturn. Moreover, the slope of $\rho_{xx}(B)$ for sample S1 at 1.8 K is significantly larger compared to the overdoped samples [Fig. \ref{Fig5}(b)], so a remarkably enhanced $p$-MR emerges when entering the AF region by tuning parameters $x$, $T$, or $B$. Although the micro nature of the origin of anomalous $p$-MR effect requires further elucidation, the relationships among the short-range AF order, $p$-MR and superconductivity have been vividly demonstrated.

\section{Conclusions}

In summary, we carried out a systematic magnetotransport measurement on optimally-doped cuprate LCCO films. By tuning magnetic field, the Fermi surface reconstruction is suppressed and an AF-FM phase transition happens at the critical point $B_{\mathrm{c}}$. This phase transition can be well described by holographic model. In the AF region, the MR displays a quite difference from that in long-range AF state: there is a switching from positive to negative. The $n$-MR derives from canting AF order and the $p$-MR maybe derives from topological order which is closely related to superconductivity. It is possible that similar emergent novel topological properties may exist in other electron-doped cuprates --- as the proposed mechanism for its formation is generic to the electron-doped CuO$_2$ plane. Further studies are still needed to elucidate the relationship among FS reconstruction, AF ordering, topological order and superconductivity.

NEW ORLEANS –– A Louisiana federal court has issued an order allowing defendants to seek documents relating to claims submitted by the asbestos plaintiff with bankruptcy trusts, saying that such information was discoverable.
In the Jan. 23 order, the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana did find, however, that specific instances of offers to settle were not discoverable.
Plaintiff Jesse Frank Sheppard filed the case, contending that his work for Mosaic Global Holdings Inc.'s predecessor company, Freeport Sulphur Co., caused him to encounter asbestos-containing products. As a result of the exposure, Sheppard developed mesothelioma, the plaintiff said.

Although other trials of CAR T cell therapy have demonstrated similar rates of success, the work done by Riddell's group had a crucial difference: by preselecting the subsets of T cells engineered to express CARs, his team was able to titrate down the dosage of the therapy and observe reduced severity of toxicity events in a way that had previously not been possible. The product in this case consisted of an equal number of naïve CD4 T cells and central memory CD8 T cells, all of which were engineered to express CARs before being infused back into the patients. In pre-clinical work in human cells, naïve CD4 cells and naïve CD8 cells, as well as central memory and effector memory CD8 cells, have demonstrated the most consistent potency in patients. Given this, only a small number of CAR-engineered T cells are needed, as compared to products that contain an unrefined mix of T cells1, Riddell told Nature Medicine.

Q: How to iterate over all properties in object's prototype chain? I have an es6-class instance and I need to get all its properties (and inherited properties too). Is there a way to do this without traversing prototype chain?

class A {
  get a() {
    return 123;
  }
}

class B extends A {
  get b() {
    return 456;
  }
}

const b = new B();

for (let prop in b) {
  console.log(prop); //nothing
}

console.log(Object.keys(b)); //empty array
console.log(Object.getOwnPropertyNames(b)); //empty array
console.log(Reflect.ownKeys(b)); //empty array
console.log(Object.keys(Object.getPrototypeOf(b))); //empty array
console.log(Object.getOwnPropertyNames(Object.getPrototypeOf(b))); //["contructor", "b"] -- without "a"
console.log(Reflect.ownKeys(Object.getPrototypeOf(b))); //["contructor", "b"] -- without "a"

A:
...(and inherited properties too). Is there a way to do this without traversing prototype chain?

Not if they're non-enumerable, as your b property is. To enumerate non-enumerable properties (!), you have to use getOwnPropertyNames (and getOwnPropertySymbols), and to include inherited ones, you have to loop through the prototype chain.
Which isn't a problem:

class A {
    get a() {
        return 123;
    }
}

class B extends A {
    get b() {
        return 456;
    }
}

const b = new B();

let allNames = new Set();
for (let o = b; o && o != Object.prototype; o = Object.getPrototypeOf(o)) {
    for (let name of Object.getOwnPropertyNames(o)) {
        allNames.add(name);
    }
}
console.log(Array.from(allNames));

Note that I assumed you wanted to skip the ones on Object.prototype like toString, hasOwnProperty, and such. If you want to include those, change the loop condition to o != null (or just o if you like that sort of thing).


Project Summary: Removing a ditch system and invasive plants around Indiana's Great Marsh has improved Lake Michigan's water quality, improved wildlife habitat, and reduced flooding in people's basements.

Description: Located just south of Lake Michigan in the Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore, the Great Marsh provides crucial wetland habitat for a variety of native wildlife and plants. Migratory birds such as the sandhill crane rely on the Marsh for nesting sites. The Great Marsh also plays a critical role in filtering out nutrients and other pollutants from stormwater runoff, preserving the water quality of Lake Michigan. Yet despite its ecological importance the Great Marsh has been significantly altered by centuries of human activities. Developers in the 19th century constructed a series of ditches to drain the Great Marsh, converting much of its wetlands to other land uses such as agriculture and industry. The ditch system divided the Great Marsh watershed into three distinct watersheds, fragmenting its wetland habitat and disrupting its natural hydrology. This has reduced the ability of the Great Marsh to absorb stormwater, increasing the flow of polluted runoff into Lake Michigan and increasing basement floodings in nearby communities. Altering this ecosystem has also allowed trees and invasive plants such as hybrid cattail and reed canary grass to displace native plant communities, degrading the habitat quality of the Great Marsh.
Invasive plants such as hybrid cattail colonized the altered ecosystem, forming dense monotypic stands. Photo courtesy of Dan Mason.

runoff and filter out pollutants, significantly improving Lake Michigan's water quality. It has also decreased the frequency of basement flooding during storms by drawing excess water into the wetland site. Removing the trees and invasive plants has promoted a healthier ecosystem, greatly increased habitat availability and quality for aquatic wildlife communities.
Approximate cost of project: Roughly $3 million, of which $2.6 million was provided by the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative.
Resource challenges addressed: Habitat fragmentation, invasive species, polluted storm runoff, flooding, lack of suitable aquatic habitats.
Key partners (public and private): Dunes Acres Civic Improvement Foundation, Indiana Lake Michigan Coastal Program, National Parks Conservation Association, Shirley Heinze Land Trust, Student Conservation Association, Town of Beverly Shores, and United States Geological Survey.
Types of jobs created: Soil scientists, land surveyors, plant propagators, fisheries specialists, hydrologists, botanists, researchers, environmental assessment processors, and general labor.
Following removal of the ditch system and invasive plants, workers restored native plant assemblages. Photo courtesy of Dan Mason.

Newly released diagnostic guidelines argue against antibiotic treatment of asymptomatic bacteriuria, which the guidelines consider to be an important opportunity for decreasing inappropriate antimicrobial use that promotes development of resistance by pathogens.
Asymptomatic bacteriuria (ASB) is the presence of one or more species of bacteria growing in the urine at specified quantitative counts (more than10^5 colony-forming units [CFU]/milliliter or more than 10^8 CFU/liter), irrespective of the presence of pyuria, in the absence of signs or symptoms attributable to urinary tract infection (UTI). ASB is a common finding in some healthy female populations and in many women or men with abnormalities of the genitourinary tract that impair voiding.

In 2005, the Infectious Diseases Society of America (Arlington, VA, USA) published a guideline with recommendations for the management of ASB in adults. This guideline recommended that ASB should be screened for and treated only in pregnant women or in an individual prior to undergoing invasive urologic procedures. Treatment was not recommended for healthy women; older women or men; or persons with diabetes, indwelling catheters, or spinal cord injury.
The current guideline reviewed and updated the 2005 guideline, incorporating new evidence that had become available. The recommendations also considered populations not addressed in the 2005 guidelines, such as children and patients with solid organ transplants or neutropenia. The updated guideline also addressed the clinical presentation of symptomatic UTI in populations where there was a high prevalence of ASB, such as patients with spinal cord injury or older adults (over 65 years of age).
"Screening these patients is far too common and leads to the inappropriate prescribing of antibiotics, which some studies suggest may actually increase the risk of a UTI, as well as contribute to other serious infections such as Clostridioides difficile," said first author Dr. Lindsay E. Nicolle, chair of the committee that developed the guidelines and professor emeritus of health sciences at the University of Manitoba (Winnipeg, Canada). "Generally, physicians should not obtain urine cultures unless patients have symptoms consistent with an infection, such as burning during urination, frequent urination or abdominal pain or tenderness on the back near the lower ribs."
The latest guidelines were described in the March 21, 2019, online edition of the journal Clinical Infectious Diseases.

When Vice President Mike Pence traveled to this border city last week to meet with Border Patrol agents and Customs and Border Protection officers and speak to press near the border fence west of town, his goal, as he put it in a tweet, was to "deliver a clear message" from President Trump demanding further immigration crackdowns to "keep our country safe."
But Pence did not spend time in the city of Nogales itself. Had he done so, he might have heard a conflicting message from people in the twin cities known as "Ambos Nogales" (or "Both Nogales"): The harshness and unpredictability of Trump's border security policies have made their daily lives more difficult and precarious, not safer.
Nogales, Arizona, population 20,000, and its Mexican sister city of Nogales, Sonora, roughly 10 times larger, have long depended on one another's cross-border business to thrive. Many local extended families straddle both sides of the border. There are three main legal crossing points: one downtown just for pedestrians; another, also downtown that also allows passenger vehicles; and one at the western edge of town that focuses on commercial vehicle traffic while also allowing those on foot or in private vehicles.
Every day, on average, more than 9,300 people walk across the border -- backpack-toting students on their way to school, workers, shoppers, tourists. Going south, there's no wait; walking into the United States, it's a different story. Nearly 9,900 passenger vehicles and more than 900 commercial trucks cross, too, hauling American produce and products south and Mexican produce and goods north.
At the huge refrigerated produce warehouse of Chamberlain Distributing Inc., a few miles north of the border, co-owner Jaime Chamberlain could barely contain his frustration talking about Trump's policies on Wednesday, as workers driving forklifts loaded boxes of fresh tomatoes, squash, peppers and cucumbers aboard trucks headed for destinations across the United States.
"I need some sort of stability to grow my business," he said. "When the president of the United States says, 'I'm going to close the border; I want to close the border now; now I'm going to give Mexico a year and then maybe I'll close it' -- how do I plan three, four, five years ahead? How do I plan ahead when he's saying at any point in time the ports of entry could be closed?"
Publicly, Trump threatened on March 30 to close the border entirely. A few days later, he said he'd give Mexico a year, then consider imposing tariffs or closing the border.
"I get it, we have a problem with so many migrants and asylum seekers," he said. "But you cannot fix it by making the ports of entry weaker, and that's what you're doing."
At Nogales' Mariposa Crossing, the one primarily dedicated to commercial vehicle traffic, CBP has in recent years opened the port on Sundays from February or March to May, during the peak months for Mexican fruits and vegetables. But the shift of customs officers from the port of Nogales led CBP last weekend to halt that program for this year, after just two Sundays, said Lance Jungmeyer, president of the Fresh Produce Association of the Americas, a Nogales-based organization that represents produce importers.
"In Arizona, if the port is closed down on Sunday, companies have to think about sending their produce somewhere else," said Jungmeyer. "It's harmful to us."
Jungmeyer said he worried that reducing the number of customs officers could embolden drug smugglers, who send the vast majority of hard drugs directly through ports of entry rather than between them, as Trump has claimed. On March 22 and 23, days before DHS announced the shift, customs officers at Nogales's Mariposa Crossing seized nearly 187 pounds of cocaine, heroin, methamphetamines and fentanyl, worth an estimated $3.1 million, from three vehicles. A week ago, customs officers at the downtown Nogales crossing seized nearly 93 pounds of meth, cocaine and heroin worth an estimated $724,000 from two vehicles and a woman on foot.
"It's worse now," said Laysha, a junior. (CNN is using only first names because the students are minors.) She said the wait times have grown longer but also less predictable in recent weeks. "It can be half an hour, it can be an hour," added Diana, also a junior.
To get to Nogales High School on time, the girls said, they now leave at 5:30 a.m., two hours before classes start, to make sure they can get across the border and catch a bus for the 4-mile trip. "If we're early, we just go to the cafeteria," said Nicole, a sophomore.
"We came to Nogales because we were told it would be faster to cross here," he said. But the Garcias have been waiting for just over a month, "and we're told it will be another month and a half, maybe more, before it's our turn," he said.
In the Kino's dining area, advocacy director Joanna Foote Williams helped a migrant woman pick out some donated clothes. The typical wait for asylum seekers has increased sharply since December, Williams said, as the list maintained by another aid group of those waiting on the Mexican side to make asylum claims has grown to more than 400 people from 150.
"CBP is only processing about three families a day," Williams said. That number couldn't immediately be verified. As CNN has reported, although CBP had said for months it is turning back asylum seekers because it doesn't have the capacity to handle them, there is some evidence the agency has limited the number of asylum claims even when it has capacity to process more people.
Downtown, pedestrians avoid walking or standing too close to the 20-foot border fence. That's in part because DHS recently had the military drape the fence in concertina razor wire, which has been controversial. In February, Nogales' city council passed a resolution asking the federal government to remove the razor wire, which Mayor Arturo Garino called unnecessary and dangerous.
"It slows them down ... a little," he said. "They don't come over as often."
Several Border Patrol agents said they'd heard about Trump's recent comments in Calexico, California, in which he told Border Patrol agents to ignore court rulings and turn away asylum seekers. Two senior CBP leaders told Congress on Tuesday that if Trump were to issue such an order, the agency would nevertheless follow the law.
"I'll just say, we ask them to follow the rules, so we should follow the rules," he said.

Bacon on the beech: Sugo Pasta Kitchen, Altrincham.
I'm sat in Sugo Pasta Kitchen just behind the ever popular Altrincham Market and I have a very good feeling about this place. I'm here to take photos and am reminded of the first time I visited the likes of Volta or Levanter. These are small independents run by a passionate team who want to do things the right and proper way using quality ingredients. Alex De Martiis and Jonny Marcolgiese have both worked at nearby Honest Crust and along with Alex's brother Michael have set up this fine little restaurant cooking regional Southern Italian pasta dishes.
They were frustrated at the bastardisation of Italian food (by chains mainly) and the lack of traditional Pugliese food as they know it from their families (both are half Italian).
I have to admit I was commissioned by them for the photography so I'm not impartial but it'd be such a pity if I didn't share this find on here as I am so excited by the food these guys are producing. I rarely eat Italian food out (and am no expert in Puglian cuisine) but the one dish I eat here for lunch post shoot is absolutely superb. Paccheri Con Sugo di Agnello e Salsicce is slow cooked lamb shoulder, spicy Tuscan sausage in a rich tomato sugo (sauce in Italian) with Paccheri and Parmesan. It is as good as it looks. The flavours are clean and fresh but rich and spicy. I scrape the last remnants of sauce with the bread.
I also photograph a few more dishes and the chefs in action.
I was very impressed with Sugo Pasta Kitchen, there is nothing remotely like it in our region. So I returned with Mrs Bacon to taste more (as a fully paying customer). We especially like the Slow Cooked Beef Shin which replaces the lamb shoulder on the menu. I could eat this dish every day of the week. The Spaghettoni with Crab we found a little too acidic with just a tad too much lemon/chilli but this is down to personal tastes rather than anything else.

The San Joaquin Council of Government's (SJCOG) Smart Growth Incentive Program (SGIP) was approved by voters in San Joaquin County as part of the Measure K Renewal in 2006. SJCOG defines "smart growth" as focused growth in central cities and older suburbs, supporting and enhancing public transit, promoting walking and bicycling, and preserving open spaces and agricultural lands.
SGIP provides funding for transportation infrastructure improvements to support infill development, neighborhood revitalization, downtown improvements and supports local planning efforts to better integrate transportation and land use.
Measure K, a countywide half-cent sales tax for transportation improvements, will provide $65 million over 30 years for the SGIP program. For the first round of Measure K, a total of $1.5 million was awarded to seven projects in June 2008. Timing on the second round of projects is to be determined through the Measure K Regional Strategic Plan Update.
From the first round of funding, the Lodi Avenue Streetscape Project was awarded a 2010 Blueprint Award and the Tracy Downtown Plaza received a 2012 Blueprint Award. Other distinguished projects include Weber Avenue Streetscape and Thornton Community Improvements.

SJCOG's SGIP Presentation: a 16-slide presentation by SJCOG for the 2012 Valley Fall Policy Conference providing an overview of SGIP.


Today was the second day of Microsoft Tech∙Ed: IT Forum 2006 in Barcelona. So far everything seems to be going well, and I've had the chance to talk with some great customers. Once again, the customers that visited our booth are most concerned with Clustering/Load Balancing/Replication and IIS/PHP integration. But that being said, I had the chance to demo some great functionality for customers that dropped by.
After we had finished up for the day, Sergei, Isaac, several members of the PowerShell team and I met for dinner with a couple of the guys from MySpace. Here's a shot of Sergei talking with Michael Coates, who is an evangelist on the Platform Evangelism team.
Tomorrow I don't have any presentations, so I should be hanging around the booth most of the day.

ESPN's Stuart Scott Battling Cancer…Again
ESPN anchor Stuart Scott was recently honored with the Jimmy V Award at the 2014 ESPY awards for his commitment to fight against cancer.
READ: 10 Cancer Symptoms Men Ignore
"Blessed by prayers..I'm back in the Fight. C reared its head again. Chemo evry 2 wks but I'll still work, still work out..still #LIVESTRONG."
Scott was first diagnosed with the disease in 2007 when doctors discovered he had cancer of the appendix while performing an appendectomy. He underwent chemotherapy and all was well until 2011, when he revealed that doctors found tumors in his small intestine.
After an operation and more chemo, he remained cancer-free until his 1/14/13 announcement. But his award speech speaks to the brave father of two fighting until he can't fight anymore (see below).

There was no word on where the cancer was found this time.
ESPN spokesman Mike Soltys told USA Today Sports that the Sportscenter fixture "plans to continue to work the best he can around his treatments." Scott re-tweeted and shared some of the positive messages that he received from sports figures such as Robert Griffin III and Russell Wilson. Jay Glazer of FOX was among Scott's colleagues in sports media offering support to Scott.

Keep walking, or keep off? Guemes beach-walking pushes question of private property versus public access
Lauren Gallup
CultureNatural Resources
Guemes Islandprivate propertypublic accessSalish Seatidelands
Open beach, public access … or not? The courts are the next step toward resolving some heated disagreement on Guemes Island about whether tradition and public domain principles or private property law take precedence on tidelands around the Salish Sea. (Photo courtesy Pete Haase)
Folks walking along the Guemes Island shoreline lately are likely to spot "Keep on Walkin' " signs with a cartoon drawing of a person strolling on the sand.
The sign, however, isn't encouraging light, outdoor exercise but is the slogan of Friends of Guemes Islands Shorelines [FOGIS], a community nonprofit suing property owner Kevin Duncan for the right to walk across his tidal shoreline property.
In the suit filed in Skagit County Superior Court, FOGIS argues that customary use and the Public Trust Doctrine allow the public to walk below the "ordinary high water mark [OHWM]" on Duncan's private tidal shoreline.
How to define the area where the water meets the land is fairly simple: uplands are the portion of shorelands never covered by water; bedlands are portions that support and lie under bodies of water and are always covered by water; and tidelands are shorelands affected by tidal flow and covered and uncovered by water depending on tides.
On the state Department of Ecology website, OHWM is defined as the point where the high tide normally rises along the shoreline. According to Ecology's Curt Hart, that "equates to a zone, below which is considered the aquatic environment, as indicated by the presence and action of water and/or water-tolerant vegetation."
However, according to Ecology, determining OHWM is a complex, site-specific process depending on a wide range of variables.
The underlying issue in the lawsuit is whether others have the right to walk along this area when it is part of private property — something that has been decided for all other Pacific Coast states and for the state's oceanfront beaches, but not yet those that surround the Salish Sea.
'A Northwest tradition'
"The legal doctrine of customary use would recognize that the practice of walking along the shoreline is a Northwest tradition," according to Pete Knutson, a member of FOGIS. The organization contends that their members have walked the shorelines along or adjacent to Duncan's property for decades.
The Public Trust Doctrine, derived from English common law, "protects public ownership interests in certain uses of navigable waters and underlying lands," notes Ecology's website. FOGIS argues that this means the public has access to shorelines.
Hart couldn't comment on the specific case on Guemes, but he said the Public Trust Doctrine at least makes it clear that someone in a boat has access to land when navigating, as long as they stay in the boat.
"It's not real clear whether or not you have access to walk on somebody's private tidelands," Hart said.
Public-private patchwork
According to the suit, Duncan purchased the property in summer 2018. Beginning in about 2020, the suit claims,Duncan has barred members of the public from crossing his private tidelands.
The suit cites as precedent a state attorney general decision in 1970 recognizing the right of the public to use ocean beaches according to customary use. FOGIS argues that walking along Guemes Island shorelines should be protected as customary use.
The attorney general, however, later qualified his decision as not applying to Puget Sound, Knutson said.
Chad Yunge, Ecology's senior shoreline planner for the Northwest region, said there's a patchwork of private and public ownership for tidelands below the OHWM because the state sold aquatic areas up until the 1970s.
"Whether or not the public has the right to walk on those tidelines, let's say at a low tide, is something that in Washington state is a matter of unsettled law, at least within the Salish Sea," Yunge said.
Customary use has been recognized to allow beach access in other states, including Florida. Washington is the only state on the Pacific coast that does not protect the public's right to access the beach.
"We are in sort of a limbo state, as far as the public's right to walk the beach," Knutson said. "We want to get the same thing that all the other Pacific states have."
The FOBIS suit also argues that Duncan has prevented members of the public from walking along the shoreline using "means of force and threatened violence."
Duncan filed a complaint with the Skagit County Sheriff's Department about a trespassing violation that he said occurred in May 2020.
According to the Skagit County sheriff's incident report, Duncan reported two individuals trespassing and told Skagit County deputy sheriff Steve Gonzales that one "chest bumped" him when he confronted her.
In the incident report, Gonzales said he had received an email earlier in May from a woman who said she had heard a shot when walking in the area, and who said other people had reported that the property owner regularly fired shots, they contended, to intimidate people walking on the beach. Duncan told Gonzales that he does target practice on his property but did not on the day of the trespassing. He later sent an email saying he would have been at work that day and could not have been shooting.
In the incident report, Duncan told the deputy sheriff that "he owns the entire beach and he's tired of people being on the beach and stated he wants his privacy and wants nobody on it."
According to court documents obtained by Salish Current, Duncan is currently facing a citation for malicious mischief in the third degree in Skagit County district court for an incident with another island resident in January 2021.
The resident said in her complaint that she had been walking along the beach when Duncan's dog approached her. Duncan confronted the resident and said she was trespassing. The woman told Duncan she did not know she was trespassing and claimed that, when she tried to walk away, Duncan "body-blocked her" and "chest-bumped" her, and threw her cell phone in the water, too deep for her to retrieve.
Duncan had also reported the resident trespassing on his property, and denied touching her or having any involvement with the cell phone.
The beach walker was not cited for trespassing in the second degree by the prosecuting attorney, who determined that she did not know she was trespassing. However, Duncan was cited for malicious mischief in the third degree. A trial date has been set for April.
Island culture and legal definitions
Knutson's said his family has lived on Guemes Island since the 1930s. From that time, he said "it was always understood that walking the beach was encouraged, and was part of island culture" — and that the public could walk below the high-tide line even though the state had sold tideland rights.
"My family owns tidelands, and we would never consider interfering with somebody's afternoon stroll on the beach," Knutson said.
Duncan owns his shorelands by virtue of owning his tidelands. In a cross motion, his attorneys claim that members of the public have violated the Duncan family's privacy rights, and that a protective order that Duncan had obtained against a neighbor has been violated.
His cross motion also says that members of the public have left trash and human and pet feces on his property, have removed his "No Trespass" signs and have confronted Duncan and his wife.
The defense argues against any customary use of "privately owned inland shorelines" by referencing Washington's history of selling tidelands, and concludes that "FOGIS perverts the concepts of good will and community in order to impose on Duncan's personal life and private property, and it distorts ancient legal doctrines to suit its needs."
The judge has ruled for a jury trial. Knutson said attorneys for FOGIS and Duncan are in discussions, and there is also a possibility for a direct appeal to the appellate level.
Knutson feels this case has statewide significance, and therefore, should be decided at the highest level.
When Salish Current reached Duncan, he said he had no comment as the legal matter was ongoing.

5 Questions with Dario Marianelli
Varese Sarabande released the soundtrack to Everest via digital retail and CD this past Friday. We sat down with composer, Dario Marianelli, to discuss his compositions on the soundtrack.
1. Describe The Everest soundtrack on Varese.
2. Did the director give you any interesting instructions or feedback to help you create the tonal palette?
A: My initial instinctive approach to the score, which the director liked and encouraged me to follow, was to have a calling voice, a distant siren call. It is at the same time a voice that represents the ancient goddess-like mountain, but also a luring and irresistible calling to one's own shipwreck.
The opposite point of the musical compass is the possibly arrogant, "conquering" attitude of the mountaineers, a kind of macho, go-getting approach to nature, which is reflected in a much more propulsive, percussive and energetic musical idiom.
3. Which scene did you score first and why?
A: On this particular occasion I decided to progress in order, and scored the very opening first, then carried on with the rest.
I wanted to find my way into the story, step by step, and go on the same journey as the adventure evolved.
4. What other soundtracks of yours were released on Varese?
A: 'Everest'
'The Brave One'
'Goodbye Bafana'
'Third Person'
'Everybody's Fine'
5. What kind of ensemble did you use to record the score? Did you use any interesting or unusual instrumentation or soloists who deserve a shout-out?
A: I recorded very early on my trusted singer, Melanie Pappenheim, who has been my vocal muse a number of times. The same tune that I wrote for her, to be my "siren call", was also played by two wonderful string players, in many variations: Caroline Dale, and David La Page, with whom I also have worked on several other movies.
I recorded the orchestral score with a group of strings and several brass players, some of the brass textures were designed to take advantage of the sheer power of brass instruments, especially when they play chord clusters. There were moments where I tried to evoke a sort of primal, raw power, as for example when Beck finds within himself the strength to get up after being left for dead, and I tried to build a sense of surging pressure with the blasting brass instruments.

James Macpherson's The Poems of Ossian (1760-1763) were one of the publishing sensations of the eighteenth century. Macpherson's supposed discovery of the epic poet Ossian in the Scottish Highlands provoked fascination and controversy in equal measure. His vision of a romantic Celtic past of melancholy heroes and mournful bards made an immediate impact on all aspects of eighteenth-century culture across Europe and influenced at least two generations of poets, novelists, painters and composers.
Many of the most important documents of the Ossian phenomenon have hitherto only been accessible in a handful of British research libraries. This collection brings these documents for the first time to a wider audience.
Other titles available in this series include, Shakespeare Imitations, Parodies and Forgeries (May 2004, 3 volumes, £350) and Romanticism and Science (2002, 5 volumes, £550).
