I don't know about you, but when I finish a piece of embroidery, usually the last thing I want to do is the real "finish work" – that is, the framing or sewing or whatever it takes to bring the project to full completion. But once in a while, I do have to force myself to buckle down and actually DO something with the pieces I embroider. And once I've accomplished the finish work, I'm always glad I did!
First of all, you need to find frames. When you frame embroidery, if you decide to put the piece behind glass, you should plan on double matting or putting spacers in to keep the glass off the front of your work. Or, you can do like I did, and find frames that have a "shadow box" effect, where a space of half an inch or more is intentionally left between the glass and the object to be framed.
You can always choose to make the frame yourself, by the way, but this is a "simple" frame job, done in a relatively short amount of time!
After you've assembled all your supplies, the first thing to do is prepare the piece for framing. If you need to wash it, now's the time to do that! How do you know if you need to wash your embroidery? If there are any obvious marks on it, if there has been an opportunity for dust build-up, if you weren't particularly careful with clean hands while you worked (even if you can't see specific marks, hand oil can show up over time!)… probably you should wash it. Certain types of thread are not conducive to washing in water – overdyed silks, etc., shouldn't be just dunked into a bucket of water. But I used DMC on these projects, and it's pretty color-fast, so I wasn't worries about color running.
Prepare a bowl of lukewarm water and a little ivory liquid soap. I use a stainless steel bowl. I placed the embroidery piece in the water and moved it around, but I don't squeeze it or rub it all over or anything like that. I just gently swish it in the bowl. If there's a specific spot on fabric, I'll treat it first, and I might rub that one spot on the fabric, but you're not doing heavy-duty laundry here – just rinsing the piece.
After the gentle washing (I let it soak for 5 or 10 minutes), I rinse the piece thoroughly under running water. Don't wring it – just let the water rinse over the work, until it runs clear and there's no evidence of suds, and then a little longer for good measure. Turn it over, too – rinse front and back.
Then lay the piece face down on a clean towel, and gently press another towel on top of it to remove excess water.
Once all three pieces were washed, I took them to my ironing board, where I already had a clean white pillow case ready. For ironing embroidery, I use a clean white pillow case folded in half, with a flannel pad inside the fold. The flannel pad is made of four layers of soft, thin flannel.
After hand blocking (that is, arranging the pieces by gently pulling them and squaring them up), I left the pieces on the ironing board to dry a little bit on their own.
When I'm ready to iron, I iron the piece upside-down, with the right side on the pillow case with the flannel underneath it. This helps cushion the embroidery and keeps the stitches from getting flattened.
I iron the piece when it's still damp. Iron it gently, not pushing on the iron to try to dry the thing and get every wrinkle out. Just gently iron, blocking the piece into a square as you go, and being very aware of the temperature of the iron and the fabric. I always lift the iron after moving in one direction – I don't just go back-and-forth and back-and-forth with it. I move in one direction, lift, put it back down, move, lift, put it back down.
After ironing the piece from the back, I turn it over and look at the front. If there is any area on the front of the ground fabric that I want to iron, I do so carefully, without touching the stitches.
In the photo above, you can see two circled areas where there are wrinkles on the piece. This comes from faulty tension when I worked the piece. It could also come from the drying process of the fabric and the thread, but both were dry when I took the photo, and I suspected there would be some tension problems in these areas once the thing was off the embroidery frame and blocked.
Never fear – those slight wrinkles will be significantly (if not completely) reduced by the time the whole framing process is finished.
Now that the pieces are ironed and ready to frame, it's time to give some attention to the frames. This is the back of the frame – notice the octagon-shaped back cover. The board on which the embroidery is mounted is the same shape. I used an acid-free white mat board and cut it to fit the inside of the frame; it's a rectangle shape with the corners snipped off.
You can see here the space between the glass and the place where the embroidery will rest. It's about half an inch. I admit, the frames are a bit cheap – that's a plastic edge – but for 50% off 11.99, they were in my budget!
And here you can see clearly the shape of the mat board and how it fits in the opening.
Position the embroidery over the mounting board, centering it carefully, then turn the embroidery over, placing it face down on your work surface. I use a pencil and lightly draw the position of the mounting board on the back of the embroidered piece. That way, if anything gets knocked or the work slides about, it's no big deal.
After folding the embroidery over the board (it's inside there), I realized it needs to be trimmed. Since I marked the position of the mounting board, it's easy enough just to trim off a couple inches.
ce between the two sides of the fabric, as you can see here, because you're going to lace them, and the lacing will supply tension.
I used a #12 DMC cotton string (it comes in a ball, and is usually used for tatting or crochet) and a #7 crewel needle to do the lacing.
Make sure you cut a Long Length of string when you're ready to start lacing. It's no fun to stop, tie off, and start again. I used about a yard.
I folded the edges of the fabric and finger pressed them, then started lacing. This is done by catching the edge of the fabric (about an 1/8 of an inch or so in) and crossing back and forth between both sides.
Because the mat board isn't square, but rather the corners are cut off, I had to do some extra trimming, and I just sort of played that by ear. I didn't want a lot of bulk on the back of the mat board.
I folded the corners neatly, finger pressed, and tacked them down with a new length of #12 thread.
Then I folded the opposite ends down – not quite as neat as it could be – and laced them, pulling the lacing fairly tight as I worked. I was skimpy with the thread!! Learn from my mistake and make sure you start with a long enough length.
In any case, it still worked out fine.
Then, I put the mounted embroidery into the frame, and you'll notice that there's a bit of "wiggle room" here. I cut the mat smaller, since the fabric would take up some space, but it was a bit too small. This poses the problem that the piece might shift in the frame.
To remedy that, I cut a piece of foam to fit inside the back of the frame, to help hold everything in place.
The back of the frame was very well fitted, though, so everything was good and snug.
And here you see two framed up and ready to go.
I was looking at my book cover yesterday and noticed how filthy the background material (not the patterned brocade, but the big piece of plain muslim behind it than the embroidery is tacked onto) has become.
So washing instructions are highly useful.
Is there anything to add given I've used a lot of gold thread? Just DMC – not any real gold.
Being primarily a calligrapher, I'm *very* aware of how dirty even 'clean' hands are. I always wash my hands before starting work on a calligraphy piece, and if it involves more than a few hours of work, it *will* still end up with a slightly grey patina from hand oils.
One thing I do is make a paper mask and cover over the part of the work that I'm not currently working on. It often ends up in an L shape, or maybe even a large square with a smaller hole in the middle, just to expose that bit that I want.
Just for completeness of information (3 seconds after I posted that comment) I also wear white cotton gloves when working on a calligraphy/illumination piece.
But jeez- think what a bother they'd be working with needle and thread!
I'd avoid washing it, if possible. Put a piece of muslin over the front of the piece, in your hoop, and cut out an "x" in the middle, then fold back the parts necessary to be able to see the design. If your work is already mounted in a frame, tack the muslin loosely over it.
Alternately, you can use tissue paper.
You posted this some time ago, I see, but it's a great tutorial! Thanks for all the photos. I'm off to the beach with my frame-intended embroidery projects now!
Thanks for the tutorial, it's beautiful. I have a question. Do you just make a big ol knot at the end of your thread before you begin lacing? How exactly do you end the lacing if you only have the one strand and need to end lacing but still keep the tension and tightness?
I use a knot at the beginning of lacing, and at the end, I take several small stitches into the fabric to hold the thread, and tie off with a small knot.
I like the "rustic" look of wall hangings in an embroidery hoop (albeit a nicer one than just the raw wood one's that are sold in craft stores to work with).
Do you have any advice for how to prepare a piece for hanging in something like that? Would I do a mat board and lacing the back, or some other procedure?
this is the perfect utorial, i had seen this months and months ago… its fabu that i can come months and months later and still be able to use these.
Thank you for your simple to follow directions and great photos. Off to the frame store I go!
Thank you very much for this post. A woman I know gave me this web address as I am doing a large counted cross stitch (Happy Nappers) as a present for my sister, and had no idea how to finish it. I do have to make a couple of minor changes, as my father is going to be making the frame for it instead of me purchasing it.
Thanks again. Have a great day.
We have a steel door, and my father used magnets (heavy ones) to apply my work to the door. He streached it gently out to remove puckers and left it hanging for several days before mounting. Worked like a charm.
I am about to start an A4 sized embroidery for my friends new baby. I was wondering how much extra material I should leave around the actual design for framing purposes?
I'd leave at least two inches on each side (so add 4 inches to the length and 4 inches to the width).
I just wanted to say THANK YOU for posting this technique. I've been embroidering for about 3 years, and never had framed my work before. I did a show last month, and framed about 9 20×20" pieces and 3 9×9" pieces, using your technique. It was so helpful, and I feel really took my work to the next proverbial level. Thanks again!
I used to embroider when I was a little girl, and I used to hate it, but since visiting your website, the bug of embroidering bit me. I have started a few projects, but I do not really see myself hanging embroidery pieces. I always think of embroidering as part of pillows, clothing or quilts. Do you do something else other than frame your pieces of embroidery? I see that you recommend embroidering in muslin for beginners. Maybe someday you can show us something a bit more modern like some geometric patterns for couch cushions and the like?
Thank you so much for this detailed explanation. My mother embroidered a beautiful piece for my baby's room, but I wasn't sure how to frame it…this helps a lot!
OOOOOOOOOH THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!
I was trying to remember how to do this so I could explain this to my Dad for when I finish the Persian Blossom.
Thanks SO much; I have put many pcs of emb work in all kinds of frames over my 60+yrs of embroidering, BUT now I've finally finished a lg pc (16×20) of a doe & fawn for our oldest grandson…started 15 yrs ago (he's now 26). I wondered how to "really' frame it correctly; and wasn't even aware that it should be washed! Thank you so much for your easy to understand & specific instructions.
Thank you SO MUCH for these wonderful instructions! I just finished my first piece of embroidery and am looking to frame it…this tutorial is beautiful and so helpful! Thank you!
Another very useful, detailed description to add to my knowledge about embroidery. Thank you for the reference to this "tip" today Mary. I will try it on my Butterflies and Flowers piece.
Thank you for this wonderful tutorial on how to finish a piece of embroidery for framing. I love the Iris. I like how you framed these perfectly, without a mat on the outside of the fabric between the frame and the embroidery. They look really pretty. I need a few more supplies and then I will try to lace and put into a frame, my first completed project. Thanks for the reference to this tutorial and for the great teaching Mary.
Thanks so much for this helpful post! This is my first finished piece, so I didn't know where to begin and what materials to use. Glad you made it a quick and simple job, too!
Thank you so much! I am wondering why you have to keep the glass off your work. Maybe to see the relief? I am not sure where to purchase spacers or what they even look like.
Thanks for a clear, helpful, procedure!
thank you…a really good do it yourself helper!
Thanks so much for the clear, concise "How To." I'm ready to tackle my project with confidence!
Am I understanding this right: You put the pillowcase behind the piece, you lay the piece right-side down, and then you iron the back of the piece, nothing between the iron and the embroidery? I will have a heart attack to take an iron directly to my embroidery, even the backside!
Well, this is all cotton, Sheri, so ironing the back directly is no problem. Also, with linen and cotton threads, direct ironing on the back is no problem. You can always put a piece of cotton muslin or something similar between the iron and the back, if you're wary.
To pad the ironing board, I generally use a pillow case folded in half, and I usually put one or two clean flour sack towels or layers of flannel underneath it for extra padding. Sometimes, I skip the pillow case if I have enough clean flour sack towels. The padding gives the stitches something to sink into, so that they aren't crushed by the ironing process.
Thanks so much for this tutorial; it was very helpful. I thought that framing projects myself would be to hard – which made me think I might have to give up my stitching for lack of ways to finish it. Pillows are pretty but do not preserve a larger piece that much work has gone into. Glad I did a search and this site.
Thanks for the great lessons. Is it better to make a cushion cover with your embroidery or to frame it? What sells the best? I have some beautiful pieces that I would love to sell.
I think it depends on the type of embroidery. Some needlework (like crewel work or needlepoint) holds up better to household use. Some wouldn't hold up as well.
Could you let me know the thickness of the card you used here or the thickness you normally use to mount goldwork on linen?
this is THE BEST post on framing embroidery!! Thank you so much!
I have a square piece of needlepoint embroidery with the Lord's Prayer on it. It does not have that much extra on the sides. What do I use to place it on and seal down. What type of frame is best? open or with glass to protect. The background is teal blue so it will show dust over time. Lettering is wine and brown colors. Please help me to know what is best. It measures about 2 feet by 2 feet.
Hi mary thanks so much for your work and sharing, I've been making a piece I want to hang with no glass.. do you know any product I could spray into the whole fabric before framing it?
Hmmm….I don't know if spraying the fabric with something is such a good idea. I think you'd be better off making sure that your fabric is perfectly clean, dried and blocked before framing.
This was very helpful.. My concern was if I needed to starch the linen before frame ng?
Thank you again, another great tutorial. Enjoy using your great stitching instructions and other information.
Love your work it is so beautiful, especially in the frames! And a very helpful article for someone looking into embroidery!
Thanks so much for this simple how to. I've taken on a commission piece and needed a refresher on finishing.
So many people leave their work in hoops now!
Truly appreciate the many pictures.
I was looking all over on line to see how to frame a piece of candlewicking embroidery I am entering in our local fair. I should have known I would find the best explained "how to do it"on your site. Thank you. I have been a fan of your's for some time, and I love your site.
Very helpful — and your embroidery is amazing!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience!
Wow, just the kind of information I've been hoping to find! I have a wonderful embroidery machine and want to create some pieces to help decorate our new home, but haven't know where to start.
Thank you for spending the time to put together such clear information with photos of your process!

We'd first like to extend our sincerest congratulations to you on the arrival of your newest addition. After all of those beautifully rowdy boys, I'm sure your little girl will a budding fashionista (just like her mother) and the apple of her father's eye. We were pleased to hear that she arrived healthy and wish you all the happiness in the world.
I would, however, like to discuss the matter of her name. When Will and Katherine popped by for afternoon tea yesterday during their American tour, we were just talking about how excited we were for the two of you. (I just can't wait for those two to have a baby of their own for our babies to play with!) But we were certain you'd go with something like Louisa, Beatrix, Sawyer or Poppy.
Now, we are honored that you would choose to name your daughter Harper. We know what avid PIOW followers you've been and we just adored the John Hardy Pave Diamond Baby Bracelet you sent for Harper's birth. We can't thank you enough for your generosity. But don't you think it might get a little confusing now that there are TWO Harpers running in our circle of friends? When we had dinner last year while I was pregnant, I know we both mentioned how much we liked the name Harper. You were certainly gracious when we let you in on the little secret that our baby girl would be a Harper. You failed to mention that it was topping the list on any future Beckhams.
Jared and I specifically picked the name because it was unique and we were certain our little girl wouldn't have five other Harpers in her classroom. I am afraid you might have just ruined that for her.
And to go with a middle name like Seven? Seven? Really? Harper needs a classic and beautiful compliment to it. I think Harper Elizabeth rolls off the tongue like the bells of the Notre Dame. But Harper Seven sounds a little, well, tacky.
Please know that you can easily correct this faux pas with one simple action. Just set up your press conference to announce that you "borrowed" the name from the Meabon family and that all die hard Beckham fans should show their support by choosing NOT to name future children Harper. Either that or you can purchase the copyrights to the name, banning any other children to be named Harper for the next 100 years. The cost would be like pennies for the two of you. Do know that once this has been taken care of, there will be no harm done to our friendship and we will remain, as always, thick as thieves.
Oh, and thank you for your voicemail that you left as you were on your way to the hospital. Of course Jared and I would be delighted to serve as your Harper's Godparents. You two are just too sweet.
Brooke, Thanks for sharing your letter. I can't believe you and Jared agreed to be godparents after David and Posh totally nabbed your name. Juan and I would have gladly stood as the runner-ups.

The US has reportedly started direct arms supplies to Kurdish Peshmerga fighters in Iraq to help them battle the Islamic State militants.
Previously the US insisted on selling arms only to the Iraqi government, but that policy has changed now, senior US officials told AP.
The officials would not disclose what kinds of weapons are being supplied or which agency is funneling them.
One official said it was not the Pentagon. Historically, the CIA has been involved in the clandestine arming of foreign fighters in various conflicts.
Iraqi Kurds, who are engaged in intensive fighting with militants from the Islamic State militants, have been complaining that they are under-armed compared to the radical Islamists, who captured a lot of American weapons from the Iraqi army in a lightning offensive in June.
The Kurds earlier received arms deliveries from the Iraqi government, an unprecedented move for Baghdad, which in the past has been reluctant to further empower the semi-autonomous Iraqi Kurdistan. The deliveries were facilitated by the US.
Washington also provides military support for the Kurds in the form of airstrikes delivered on IS positions.
The turmoil caused by the rise of the Islamist militants in Iraq is aggravated by a political crisis in Baghdad, where embattled Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki accused the newly elected President Fouad Massoum of violating the constitution.
Maliki said Massoum neglected his duty to name a new prime minister from the country's largest parliamentary faction by a Sunday deadline. Maliki is seeking a third term as prime minister, but faces harsh criticism even from his closest domestic and foreign allies for failing to provide security in Iraq and consolidate the nation in a time of crisis.
Following Maliki's surprise Sunday TV speech, rumors were rife in Iraq that tanks had surrounded the presidential palace in Baghdad in a potential armed coup. Reports from the ground said there was increased security presence in the Iraqi capital in the wake of the address.
On Monday, Iraqi state media reported that the country's highest court ruled that Maliki's block is the biggest in the parliament, giving further impetus to Maliki's ambitions to hold on to his position. The court, however, denied those reports hours later.

Theme 2021 Anticorruption
Previous winners & Jury
2020 – IPBES
On the theme Biodiversity
In 2020 the award was handed out to The Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services - IPBES. The organisation is headquartered in Germany but the IPBES secretariat receives this award on behalf of our 136 member States and dedicates it to the thousands of scientists, knowledge-holders and stakeholders who have already contributed so much of their time and expertise to our work.
Amongst other endeavours, IPBES published the report that confirms that around one million of Earth's estimated eight million species of plants and animals are now threatened with extinction, many within decades.
In the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, two of the goals specifically targets ecosystems and biodiversity – on land and in water. But the truth is, biodiversity and nature's contributions to people are essential for us to succeed in all of the 17 goals. To ensure our future food production, access to fresh water, saving the climate, and in order to control diseases the issue requires far more attention on the political agenda. Because even though it is crucial for all life on Earth, the threat against biodiversity is today greater than ever.
As the world's first and only intergovernmental platform for biodiversity, IPBES is providing knowledge as well as tools to protect, and sustainably access nature's vital resources. The organisation brings people of knowledge and experience together with stakeholders and decision makers from all regions of the world, and together they are laying the groundwork for a new agenda. For its assiduous and scientifically credible work, IPBES is now rewarded with the world-leading sustainability award, WIN WIN Gothenburg Sustainability Award, including the prize of one million SEK.
The Jury's motivation
The biodiversity on Earth is crucial to human survival and the need to raise the issue on the agenda for the world's decision makers to a corresponding level is therefore great and urgent. The work to disseminate knowledge and awareness of the importance of biodiversity is therefore of crucial importance.
IPBES has had a decisive role in outlining the drivers of biodiversity loss, communicating the magnitude of the problem and laying the groundwork for a new agenda and transformative change in relation to biodiversity. Through their methodology, which includes research in both natural and social science as well as including the importance of indigenous peoples' knowledge and experience, they have increased the opportunities for evidence-based decision making by policymakers.
Since its inception in 2012, by engaging and uniting the world's nations around the issue of biodiversity, IPBES has played a crucial role in setting the groundwork for the change we need to address this crisis in the near future.

Arbor Day 2014: Stand Up for Trees — and the Environment
A modern anecdote to encourage you to be aware of what's happening in your environment — and take action when needed.
By Casie Leigh Lukes | April 25, 2014
In 1854, pioneer nature-lover J. Sterling Morton moved to the Nebraska Territory with his wife, where they planted trees, flowers, and shrubs. Morton used his platform as a journalist to spread news about agriculture information, and advocated for tree planting by individuals and organizations, according to ArborDay.org.
In 1872 he proposed "Arbor Day" as a tree-planting holiday at a State Board of Agriculture meeting, and around one million trees were planted in Nebraska on the first Arbor Day. By 1882, it became an annual tradition in schools across the country, usually being celebrated on the last Friday in April.
Trees were needed in Nebraska in the 1800s for soil and wind protection as people farmed, and raised their families on the land. They are just as important today — whether you live in the city and country.
Here is a recent example of a modern threat to trees — and how citizens like you stood up to protect the environment. We hope you're as inspired by this story as the team here at Experience Life. Happy Arbor Day 2014!
Duke Energy suspends pilot program aimed at limiting tree growth as a result of public outcry
Think your voice can't be heard? Think again. In three North Carolina cities, a pilot program by Duke Energy that aimed to limit the growth of trees so they wouldn't extend into overhead power lines was put on hold earlier this month due to citizen concerns.
But not before initial efforts began, despite lingering questions about safety.
"About 300 trees on private and public lands were treated before the effort was halted," Duke Energy spokeswoman Paige Layne told Charlotte Observer writer Fred Clasen-Kelly for a recent article. By "treated," Layne refers to the injection of the chemical Cambistat into tree's root systems, which would alter the tree's hormones and slow growth by 40 to 70 percent over the course of three or more years.
While the Charlotte-based gas and electric company, along with Minnesota-based Rainbow Treecare, maintained that the toxicity levels of Cambistat were low, residents remained unconvinced. And many were deservedly upset when they found workers in their yard inspecting and injecting the chemical without providing adequate information about the program or the chemical.
A snapshot from 4/8/14 of a pie graph polling Cambistat testing in Greensboro. Green = Yes, I support testing the chemical; purple = No, I will opt out of the test on my property; maroon = I don't know; and seafoam green = Not applicable. For more recent polling numbers, see News and Record.
One resident said she was told the injection would also slow the growth of nearby plants, and that she should keep children and dogs away from the trees as a precaution.
Property owners had the opportunity to request that Cambistat and other herbicides not be used on their property by submitting a refusal form and posting "no spray" signs in their lawns. Yet residents say they weren't given enough time to choose the opt-opt option.
Reaction to the program came in response to Clasen-Kelly's article about the program and resident complaints — and concerns "grew louder" via social media. Duke Energy pulled the program a few days later, saying they failed to "adequately forewarn customers and inform them about why it planned to evaluate the use of Cambistat."
"We want to figure it out," Duke Energy spokesman Layne told Clasen-Kelly.
In the meantime, many residents, like Mary Lou Buck, a board member of the Freedom Park Neighborhood Association in Charlotte, are relieved the program has been suspended. "There were answers to some questions, but there were not answers to all of them."
The program was scheduled to launch later this spring in Greensboro, Charlotte, and Durham. Around 20 trees species in the North Carolina cities were supposed to be "treated," including elms, sweet gums, maples, and oaks.

\section{INTRODUCTION}

The aim of this paper is to compute two-point functions for the scalar
curvature   on the 4--sphere. Our results are based upon the de Sitter
space graviton propagator found by Allen and Turyn\cite{allen}.
Curvature two-point functions are also well--suited to evaluation by
numerical quantum gravity on the lattice, therefore the result should
be useful for comparing two different approaches to quantum
gravity\cite{hamber,smit}.

We will use the path integral approach to quantum gravity and constrain
the path integral to Euclidean metrics with a fixed volume. This is
basically the same setup as the theory of spacetime foam\cite{hawking}.
The 4--sphere arises naturally as an instanton in the path integral.

We find that the two--point function $\langle R(x)R(x')\rangle$ is a
constant plus a $\delta-$function term, which generalizes the known
result for flat background\cite{mod,mod2}. This has a simple
explanation because, in quantum field theory, we expect expectation
values values of field equations to vanish. The field equations for
Einstein gravity with a cosmological constant imply that $R=4\Lambda$,
therefore we expect that $\langle R(x)R(x')\rangle= 16\Lambda^2$ for
$x\ne x'$.

In a coordinate independent approach to quantum gravity, the usual
two-point function looses its meaning and it is preferable to examine
the two--point function which has a fixed geodesic distance between the
two points. This propagator has a more complicated functional
dependence which we calculate below. The analytic result shares the
qualitative feature of results from numerical calculations.

\section{THE SCALAR CURVATURE TWO-POINT FUNCTION}

In the Euclidean approach to quantum gravity\cite{hawking}, we examine
the quantum fluctuations of the metric ${\bf \hat{g}}$ about a
classical background ${\bf g}$ of signature $(++++)$,
\begin{equation}
{\bf \hat{g}} = {\bf g}+2\kappa\mbox{\boldmath$\gamma$}
\end{equation}
where $\kappa^2=8\pi G$. The background will be a 4--sphere of radius
$\rho$, related to the cosmological constant by $\rho^2=3/\Lambda$.
Vacuum expectation values are defined by Euclidean path integrals.

The graviton propagator ${\bf G}$ is defined by
\begin{equation}
G^{abc'd'}(x,x')=\langle 0|\gamma^{ab}(x)\gamma^{c'd'}(x')|0\rangle
\end{equation}
It can be decomposed into four components according to its behaviour
under traces and divergences\cite{allen}
\begin{equation}
G^{aba'b'}=G_{TT}{}^{aba'b'}+G_T{}^{aba'b'}+G_L{}^{aba'b'}+G_{PT}{}^{aba'b'}.
\end{equation}
We will use only the following properties of the various components for
contractions with background metric and covariant derivative
\begin{eqnarray}
G_{PT}{}^{aba'b'}&=&-\case1/4g^{ab}g^{a'b'}G\label{gpt}\\
g_{ab}G_{TT}{}^{aba'b'}&=&g_{ab}G_T{}^{aba'b'}=g_{ab}G_L{}^{aba'b'}=0\\
\nabla_a\nabla_bG_L{}^{aba'b'}&=&\left(\nabla^{a'}\nabla^{b'}
-\case1/4g^{a'b'}\nabla^2\right)G\\
\nabla_aG_{TT}{}^{aba'b'}&=&
\nabla_a\nabla_bG_T{}^{aba'b'}=0\label{gradg}
\end{eqnarray}
Here, $G(x,x')$ is a scalar propagator on the 4--sphere which satisfies
\begin{equation}
(-\nabla^2-2\Lambda)G(x,x')=\delta(x,x')\label{speq}
\end{equation}
It depends only on the geodesic separation $\sigma$ of $x$ and $x'$ and
is given explicitly by
\begin{equation}
G(x,x')=-{1\over 2\pi\rho^2}\,{\rm sec}(\pi\nu)\,
F(\case3/2+\nu,\case3/2-\nu,2;z)
\end{equation}
where $\nu^2=33/4$ and
\begin{equation}
z=\cos^2{\sigma\over 2\rho}.
\end{equation}

The first order terms in expansion of the scalar curvature are
\begin{equation}
R(\hat g)=R(g)+2\kappa^2\Delta_{ab}\gamma^{ab}\label{rexp}
\end{equation}
where
\begin{equation}
\Delta_{ab}=\nabla_a\nabla_b-\nabla^2g_{ab}
-\gamma^{ab}R_{ab}(g)
\end{equation}
Therefore the connected two--point function is
\begin{equation}
\langle R(x)R(x')\rangle=16\Lambda^2
+4\kappa^2\Delta_{ab}\Delta_{a'b'}G^{aba'b'}
\end{equation}
From equations (\ref{gpt}-\ref{speq}),
\begin{equation}
\langle R(x)R(x')\rangle=16\Lambda^2
+\case3/2\nabla^2\delta(x,x')+2\Lambda\delta(x,x')\label{rr}
\end{equation}
This result reduces at $\Lambda=0$ to the result for flat space derived
by Modanese \cite{mod,mod2}.

\section{THE TWO-POINT FUNCTION OVER A FIXED DISTANCE}

The two--point function over a fixed geodesic proper distance requires
a coordinate shift in one of the points to compensate for the metric
change in the geodesic length. We do this by moving the second point
along the original geodesic.

Consider, for the background metric $g_{ab}$, a geodesic segment
$x(t)$, from $x$ to $x'$ with proper length given by
\begin{equation}
\sigma_{g}(x,x') = \int_0^1\sqrt{g_{ab}\dot{x}^{a}\dot{x}^{b}} dt.
\end{equation}
The tangent vector $\sigma^{a'}$ is related to $\sigma_{g}(x,x')$ by
\begin{equation}
\sigma^{a'}=g^{a'b'}{\partial\sigma_g\over\partial x^{b'}}
\label{tang}
\end{equation}

Now, for the perturbed metric $\hat g_{ab}$ the geodesic length changes
to
\begin{equation}
\sigma_{\hat{g}}(x,x') = \sigma_{g}(x,x') +\kappa\int_{0}^{\sigma_g}
\gamma_{a''b''}\sigma^{a''}\sigma^{b''}ds
\end{equation}
where $s$ is the proper length along the geodesic to an intermediate
point $x''$. Hence, one has to introduce an appropriate displacement
$\delta x^{a'}$, such that
\begin{equation}
\sigma_{\hat{g}}(x^{a},x^{a'}+\delta
x^{a'})=\sigma_{g}(x^{a},x^{a'})=\sigma.
\end{equation}
Since we also want to remain in the direction of the original geodesic,
we take
\begin{equation}
\delta x^{a'}=\delta x'\sigma^{a'}.
\end{equation}
Combining these equations and using (\ref{tang}) gives
\begin{equation}
\delta x' =
-\kappa\int_{0}^{\sigma} \gamma^{a''b''}
\sigma_{a''}\sigma_{b''}\,ds\label{dx}
\end{equation}
where the integral extends from one end of the geodesic to the other.

The difference between the two-point functions will be denoted by
\begin{equation}
c(x,x')=\langle 0|R(x)R(x'+\delta x')|0\rangle -\langle
0|R(x)R(x')|0\rangle
\end{equation}
To first-order in $\delta x'$,
\begin{equation}
c(x,x')=\langle 0|R(x)\delta x'\sigma^{a'}\nabla_{a'}R(x')|0\rangle.
\end{equation}
This can be computed to order $\kappa^2$ using equations (\ref{rexp})
and (\ref{dx}),
\begin{equation}
c(x,x')= -8\kappa^2\Lambda\int_{0}^{\sigma} ds\,
\langle 0|\gamma^{a''b''}\sigma_{a''}\sigma_{b''}\sigma^{c'}\nabla_{c'}
\Delta_{a'b'}\gamma^{a'b'}|0\rangle
\end{equation}
This simplifies to
\begin{equation}
c(x,x')=-\int_{0}^{\sigma} ds \,
{d\over d\sigma}F(\sigma-s)
\end{equation}
where
\begin{equation}
F(\sigma) =
8\kappa^2\Lambda\,\sigma_a\sigma_b\Delta_{a'b'}G^{aba'b'}(x,x').
\end{equation}
The value of $F(\sigma)$ diverges as $\sigma\to0$ and the integral has
to be regularised. Performing the integral gives
\begin{equation}
c(x,x')=F(\sigma)-F_0
\end{equation}
where $F_0$ is a constant that depends on the regularisation
proceedure. We will absorb $F_0$ as an order $\kappa^2$ correction to
$\Lambda$.

For the evaluation of $F(\sigma)$, we use an identity from Allen and
Turyn\cite{allen},
\begin{equation}
(\nabla^{a'}\nabla^{b'}-\case1/4g^{a'b'}\nabla^2)G=\rho^{-2}
(\sigma^{a'}\sigma^{b'}-\case1/4g^{a'b'})\,z(1-z){d^2G\over dz^2}
\end{equation}
With equations (\ref{gpt}-\ref{gradg}), we obtain
\begin{equation}
c(x,x')=
-16\kappa^2\Lambda^2G(z)-4\kappa^2\Lambda^2(1-2z){dG\over dz}
\end{equation}
This has been plotted in figure \ref{fig2}.

\section{SIMPLICIAL QUANTUM GRAVITY}

The analytic result for the two--point function can be compared with
numerical results obtained from the method of dynamical
triangulations\cite{smit}, a lattice approach to quantum gravity. In
this approach, essentially a modified version of Regge
calculus\cite{regge}, a smooth 4-manifold is approximated by a
simplicial manifold built from equilateral 4-simplices with identical
edge lengths\cite{migdal,weingarten}. In addition, the space inside the
4-simplices is flat, with the curvature being concentrated on
2-simplices.

The path integral over metrics on a manifold with spacetime volume $V$
is defined by a  partition function
\begin{equation}
Z(N_4,k_2) = \sum e^{k_{2}N_{2}}
\end{equation}
where the sum extends over all ways of glueing $N_4$ 4-simplices
together, such that the resulting complex has the topology of a
4-sphere and $N_2$ is the number of 2-simplices in the triangulation.
The parameters relate to the physical volume $V$ and edge length $a$
through
\begin{eqnarray}
k_2&=&\sqrt{3\pi^2\over4}\left({a\over\kappa}\right)^2\label{kd}\\
N_4&=&{96\over\sqrt{5}}\left({V\over a^4}\right)\label{nd}
\end{eqnarray}
The numerical results show different phases, but we concentrate here on
the one which has been interpreted as Einstein gravity \cite{smit}.

In the Euclidean path integral approach to quantum gravity, the
partition function at fixed volume is defined by a Laplace transform in
terms of the partition function with a cosmological
constant,\cite{hawking},
\begin{eqnarray}
Z(V)&=&\int_{\cal C}d\Lambda\,Z(\Lambda)\,\exp(\kappa^{-2}\Lambda V)\\
Z(\Lambda)&=&\int d\mu[g]\,\exp(-I[g]-\kappa^{-2}\Lambda V[g])
\end{eqnarray}
where $d\mu[g]$ is the measure, $I[g]$ is the Einstein--Hilbert action
and $V[g]$ is the volume of the metric. We will have to make
assumptions about the existance of a suitable integral contour ${\cal
C}$.

To leading order in Planck's constant, $Z(\Lambda)$ is dominated by the
4-sphere. This enables us to express any expectation value
$\langle0|f(\gamma)|0\rangle_V$ obtained from the path integral with
constant volume as
\begin{equation}
\langle0|f(\gamma)|0\rangle_V={1\over Z(V)}\int_{\cal C}d\Lambda
\,\langle0|f(\gamma)|0\rangle\,\exp(24\pi^2\kappa^{-2}\Lambda^{-1}
+\kappa^{-2}V\Lambda)
\end{equation}
This integral has a saddle point $\Lambda=\bar\Lambda$, where
$\bar\Lambda^2=24\pi^2/V$. The steepest descents contour is a circle
centered on the origin. The saddle point gives a good approximation for
$V\gg\kappa^4$ and in this case any two-point function calculated at
constant volume can be replaced by the two-point function on the
corresponding 4-sphere.

Numerical results show a two-point function that begins positive for
small distances, becomes negative and then returns positive. The
analytic result also has these features. However, from equations
(\ref{kd}-\ref{nd}),
\begin{eqnarray}
\kappa^2\bar\Lambda&\approx&274.4\,k_2^{-1}N_4^{-1/2}\label{le}\\
\bar\rho/a&\approx&0.1725\,N_4^{1/4}.
\end{eqnarray}
The distance scale in figure \ref{fig2} converted into lattice units
differs by a factor $\approx4$ from the numerical results. It could be
that our identification of the bare parameters in the two approaches
has been too naive, or that the numerical results are still to far
removed from the perturbative regime. It would help resolve this issue
if the numerical results were extended to significantly larger numbers
of simplices. It would also be interesting to compare the analytic
approximation with numerical results for other topologies, particularly
$S^2\times S^2$ which is the next simplest case to the 4-sphere.

@Biotweeps: Though my work is not related to biotech, I'm doing my PhD in Institute of Biotechnology. That's because my supervisor has position here. Mon, 22 June 2015 02:25 PM


It's up to us to make decisions about our own bits and pieces. When I first started visiting potential gardens with BRS, I had many a client ask me for a zeroscape. I always giggled knowingly at them, ha ha wink, we all know the word is really xeriscape – defined as a landscape that uses xeric plants. But, um. No. It's come to our attention that there are folks who believe a garden needs nada. never. That we might guarantee their garden will never have weeds, nor frost damage, will laugh off drought, humidity, dog pee and drunken marauders. Never would it need a clip, or a pinch, a nip or full bush whack.
We quickly began to associate people's garden maintenance requests with their personal grooming styles and I'm here to tell you- in our heads, we think we are spot on. So yeah, we are thinking about your bush when you are talking about bushes. Really. I'm not saying we all fall into strict categories- there is winter and summer grooming for us and our gardens agreed? But let's name it to tame it- a little grooming all the time is just a good idea.
Speaking of- last spring I decided to rip out the Hades Garden. It was getting too expressive. Imagine that in a bikini? We were.
And truth be told, I'm feeling the need for some C O N T R O L. clipped tight clean control. Something that will do what I will it to do. And it's a wee bit sad that I have a better chance of mother nature bending to my will than my two and a half-year-old.
Thus the new bliss garden.
We used a few things we had hanging around the nursery and added pretty silver, blue, purple and yellow. And I've made it smell good- loads of lavender, so if I'm having a little melt down at work I just pop out into the new garden "to clip". It gets clipped several times a week and it's responding with vigor. Nicole Vesian said you can show your plants you love them by giving them a good clipping. This garden is an homage to her work with which I'm rather obsessed.
Voila. She is already putting out this spring after a winter of pruning and light fertilizing. We experimented with fertilizing the lavender all winter as it's its growing season. And it's about to burst forth with controlled lavender love.
I'll tell you though- when a client comes in and says I want that… and points to the new Bliss garden. We have to say, wellllllllll. Will you love it and feed it and groom it weekly?
A bit more about the beauty of loving garden care.
Some of our most favorite-est projects are our gardens at Josephine house and Jeffrey's. Larry McGuire loves JoHo to look like a rich woman's yard and well… a-hem, we are here to make your techni- color dreams come true.
When we inherited the Josephine House property, it was feeling a little neglected.
Bravely brushing aside jeers "hey hey tutti-frutti" from other landscapers driving by- (that's you Jeff Neal) we quickly put aside our innate snobbery about annuals and dug deep for our inner California housewife- little did we know, she rested very very close to the surface.
Now, we trip over one another to find the best color combos that can bedazzle and withstand the plethora of dog pee and Christian Louboutins popping about. And yeah, it needs bi-weekly love to look like this but so do you.
Slowly we've been asked to help other McGuire Moorman properties. Lambert's is a particular love- minimal cowboy chic is our latest theme.
Yep even cactus need love and care to look their very best. Last spring we were asked to take on the beast of Perla's on south congress. Dios mio- it's hard out there being a plant- but we are getting her rhythm and we will thwart and stun the garden trespassers with our eye popping Long John's Silver color theme. We have also been fortunate to add Clark's to our constellation: "preppy plants please". We do love how McGuire Moorman let's each property find it's own personality and we are honored to be working with them and the gorgeous By Georges as well.

Q: Ruby on Rails database foreign key relations I have these two tables users from devise and border_rot_imports.
In the border_rot_imports table, I have:
Table "public.border_rot_imports"

issuing_officer_id  | integer
*****

Foreign-key constraints:
    "fk_rails_6d0f78c8a8" FOREIGN KEY (issuing_officer_id) REFERENCES users(id)

and under users table i got :
Referenced by:
Table "public.users"
*******
    TABLE "border_rot_imports" CONSTRAINT "fk_rails_6d0f78c8a8" FOREIGN KEY (issuing_officer_id) REFERENCES users(id)

MODELS
class BorderRotImport < ApplicationRecord
    belongs_to :users, foreign_key: :issuing_officer_id
end

class User < ApplicationRecord
     has_many :issuing_officer, class_name: 'BorderRotImport'
end

so now the question is, how do i gain access to all the fields under the user table from border_rot_imports.
so under my new.html.erb I have a form that stores data to the database. And my create function is as follows:
def create
    @border_rot_import = BorderRotImport.new(border_rot_import_params)
    @border_rot_import.time_in = Time.current
    @border_rot_import.date_in = Time.current
    @border_rot_import.issuing_officer_id = User.find(current_user).id

    #setting default values
    @border_rot_import.vin = 'N/A' unless @border_rot_import.vin?
    @border_rot_import.license_plate_in = 'N/A' unless @border_rot_import.license_plate_in?

  #  respond_to do |format|
  #    if @border_rot_import.save
  #      format.html { redirect_to @border_rot_import, notice: "Border rot import was successfully created." }
  #      format.json { render :new, status: :created, location: @border_rot_import }
  #    else
  #      format.html { render :new, status: :unprocessable_entity }
  #      format.json { render json: @border_rot_import.errors, status: :unprocessable_entity }
  #    end
  #  end
  end

now the database has the id of the user, but now i need the username through @border_rot_import so that I can display it in a table in the index instead of the user id.
If there is another approach please provide me with some links.
Thank you in advance.

A: First off your assocations don't make sense. A belongs_to assocation should always have a singular name and has_many should be plural.
has_many :issuing_officer, class_name: 'BorderRotImport'

Doesn't make any sense at all either besides the pluralization issue. When you call user.issuing_officer its going to do:
JOINS border_rot_imports ON border_rot_imports.issuing_officer_id  = users.id

And you get an ActiveRecord::Relation of BorderRotImport instances - WOOT?!
What you actually want is most likely something like this:
class BorderRotImport < ApplicationRecord
  belongs_to :issuing_officer, class_name: 'User'
end

class User < ApplicationRecord
  has_many :border_rot_imports
end

While you can call - @border_rot_import.issuing_officer.name you should consider using delegation to remove the law of demeter violation:
class BorderRotImport < ApplicationRecord
  belongs_to :issuing_officer, class_name: 'User'
  delegate :name, :foo, :bar, :baz,
    to: :issuing_officer,
    prefix: true # optional
end

@border_rot_import.issuing_officer_name

You also should consider setting the defaults in the model/table instead of bloating the controller:
class BorderRotImport < ApplicationRecord
  belongs_to :issuing_officer, class_name: 'User'
  delegate :name, :foo, :bar, :baz,
    to: :issuing_officer,
    prefix: true # optional

  # Why do you even need two separate attributes here?
  attribute :time_in,         :time,      default: ->{ Time.current }
  attribute :date_in,         :datetime,  default: ->{ Time.current }

  attribute :vin,             :string,    default: 'N/A'
  attribute :license_plate_in :string,    default: 'N/A'
end

Or at least just pass a block and use conditional assignment:
def create
  @border_rot_import = current_user.border_rot_imports.new(border_rot_import_params) do |import|
    import.time_in = Time.current
    import.date_in = Time.current
    import.vin ||= 'N/A'
    import.license_plate_in ||= 'N/A'
  end
  # ...
end

A: Did you try referencing the related object from your instance variable? Normally, you can use:
@instance.related_object.attribute_name

where @instance is @border_rot_import, related_object is the model that shares a relation with the BorderRotImport model (user in your case) and attribute_name is the attribute of User which you wish to display.
<%= @border_rot_import.user.name %>
