The Quantum Vortex Theory of Matter
By William F. Hamilton III
Abstract: The investigation of matter at atomic and sub-atomic scales has resulted in a standard particle theory and a family of particles that fit into a matrix of categories based on properties. Quantum theory depicts particles as behaving both as particles and waves. The duality of the so-called wavicle is accepted theory and yet the point-like depiction of elementary particles is so unsatisfactory that it has spawned new theories of matter which are known as M theories (string and superstring theories) and quantum gravity. Some string theories call to mind the old aether-vortex theories of the late 19th and early 20th century such as those described by physicists Oliver Lodge and William Thompson (Lord Kelvin). These old models of matter have been discarded by the early part of the 20th century as both the Special and General Theory of Relativity gained ground. Albert Einstein had pronounced the existence of the luminiferous aether as superfluous to an explanation of the transmission of light through the vacuum. Later, in his work Sidelights in Relativity, he affirmed the existence of an aether of sorts when he realized that his General Theory, a theory of gravity, required space to have physical properties and, therefore, having a property that allowed it to curve, bend, or warp just as a sheet of metal would do, except it would be a sheet of extremely high density material. It was then difficult to visualize how space and matter co-existed as two separate entities when Einstein started working on his Unified Field Theory hoping to explain all forces as fields, which is to say a dynamic volume of space that influenced matter in certain ways.
With the rise of interest in the quantum nature of the vacuum itself in the latter part of the twentieth century, where space seems to seeth with activity, a zero-point energy has been postulated that seems to reveal that space is a lot less material than envisioned by Einstein and that the incompatibility of quantum mechanics and relativity theory is made even more apparent at the nanoscale of the zero-point field.
With the dawning of the twenty-first century we are seeing a return to the aether (or ether) of space in new forms, forms that may lead to Unified Field Theory after all. A Unified Field Theory (UFT) is not a Theory of Everything (TOE) as a TOE proposes to explain everything in existence as having a material cause which may not be the case and is restrictive in its philosophical foundations. A UFT on the other hand proposes to do what Einstein set out to do: unify fields of force.
QV Postulate 1: Space has the properties of a superconducting superfluid.
Quantum Dynamics of a superfluid vortex:
Let us examine some statements about superfluid Helium as an analog to superfluid space:
"The superfluid state, in general, is characterized by frictionless, highly correlated irrotational motion of the fluid particles. The superfluid accommodates to rotation by forming a lattice of quantized vortices in which the vortex core, typically singular, breaks the topological constraint against rotational motion. In superfluid 3He, the structure of vortex cores can be much more complicated than in conventional superfluids because of the many degrees of freedom provided by the 18-dimensional order parameter manifold." 1
"For several years, research groups around the world have been studying cold gases of so-called fermionic atoms with the ultimate goal of finding new forms of superfluidity. A superfluid gas can flow without resistance. It can be clearly distinguished from a normal gas when it is rotated. A normal gas rotates like an ordinary object, but a superfluid can only rotate when it forms vortices similar to mini-tornadoes. This gives a rotating superfluid the appearance of Swiss cheese, where the holes are the cores of the mini-tornadoes. "When we saw the first picture of the vortices appear on the computer screen, it was simply breathtaking," said graduate student Martin Zwierlein in recalling the evening of April 13, when the team first saw the superfluid gas. For almost a year, the team had been working on making magnetic fields and laser beams very round so the gas could be set in rotation. "It was like sanding the bumps off of a wheel to make it perfectly round," Zwierlein explained.
"In superfluids, as well as in superconductors, particles move in lockstep. They form one big quantum-mechanical wave," explained Ketterle. Such a movement allows superconductors to carry electrical currents without resistance."2
The formation of a vortex ring
Electron vortex rings:
"The first attempt to construct a physical model of an atom was made by William Thomson (later elevated to Lord Kelvin) in 1867. The most striking property of the atom was its permanence. It was difficult to imagine any small solid entity that could not be broken, given the right force, temperature or chemical reaction. In contemplating what kinds of physical systems exhibited permanence, Thomson was inspired by a paper Helmholtz had written in 1858 on vortices. This work had been translated into English by a Scotsman, Peter Tait, who showed Thomson some ingenious experiments with smoke rings to illustrate Helmholtz' ideas. The main point was that in an ideal fluid, a vortex line is always composed of the same particles, it remains unbroken, so it is ring-like. Vortices can also form interesting combinations -- A good demonstration is provided by creating two vortex rings one right after the other going in the same direction. They can trap each other, each going through the other in succession. This is probably what Tait showed Thomson, and it gave Thomson the idea that atoms might somehow be vortices in the ether.
Of course, in a non ideal fluid like air, the vortices dissipate after a while, so Helholtz' mathematical theorem about their permanence is only approximate. But Thomson was excited because the ether was thought an ideal fluid, so vortices in the ether might last forever! This was very aesthetically appealing to everybody - "Kirchhoff, a man of cold temperament, can be roused to enthusiasm when speaking of it." (Pais, IB page 177, source for this material). In fact, the investigations of vortices, trying to match their properties with those of atoms, led to a much better understanding of the hydrodynamics of vortices - the constancy of the circulation around a vortex, for example, is known as Kelvin's law. In 1882 another Thomson, J. J., won a prize for an essay on vortex atoms, and how they might interact chemically. After that, though, interest began to wane - Kelvin himself began to doubt that his model really had much to do with atoms, and when the electron was discovered by J. J. in 1897, and was clearly a component of all atoms, different kinds of non-vortex atomic models evolved.
It is fascinating to note that the most exciting theory of fundamental particles at the present time, string theory, has a definite resemblance to Thomson's vortex atoms. One of the basic entities is the closed string, a little loop, which has fields flowing around it reminiscent of the swirl of ethereal fluid in Thomson's atom. And it's a very beautiful theory - Kirchhoff would have been enthusiastic! "3
Let us examine the idea that electron rings form in space as a composition of the ideal fluid (superfluid) of space itself. How would a vortex start in the zero-point field (ZPF) of the vacuum?
A hypothetical global rotation of the universe will induce rotation of photons, electrons, and galaxies. Any conglomeration of matter in the universe is rotating with respect to some frame of reference. This includes planets, their satellites, solar systems, and galaxies, and possibly larger structures. At some phase in the evolution of the universe, spin becomes inherent in its objects. If all objects are composed of one universal substance, and this seems inescapable, then vorticity would be a common process and vorticity produces interlocking or intermeshing structures from atoms and molecules to galaxies. That electrons occupy shells and orbitals in specific numbers.
We therefore "label" an atomic electron by four "quantum numbers":
1. n = 1, 2, 3, ...., denoting energy;
2. l = 0, 1, ..., n-1, denoting angular momentum;
3. m = -l, ...., l, denoting orientation (the "magnetic quantum number"),
4. s = -1/2, 1/2, denoting spin (m s is also used in place of s).
The set of four numbers (n,l, m,s) identifies the "quantum state" of the electron. Chemists use letters in place of numbers for l (s, p, d, f, etc.), and so an n=3, l =1 electron would be denoted "3p".
The following images should give you a feel for what sorts of "orbits" these numbers correspond to. The images are cross sectional cuts of three dimensional orbits, so to get a complete picture you have to think of them as rotated around the vertical axis.
The Quantum Vortex:
Positive charges have opposite vortex spin to negative charges and thus their respective vortices mesh, reducing interspatial pressure, and drawing the particles together.
The ring model of an electron is derived from an ether vortex flow. This vortex creates a pressure normal to its spin that is conjectured produces the electrostatic charge. The magnetic pressure gradient is normal to the electrostatic pressure gradient and acts along the central axis of spin. A vortex contains a low internal pressure, and a high stream pressure. When the stream flows mesh, the particles will attract one another and when they clash, will repel. The vortex field produces a pressure gradient that diminishes with radius from the core boundary. The force between electric charges is inversely proportional to the radius (sq) and directly proportional to the kinetic energy (mv2) of one vortex times the kinetic energy of a paired vortex with the sign relative to the circulation vectors.
From Model of the Electron by Ph.M. Kanarev.
To quote Mayeul Arminjon again:
"I assume that the particles themselves are made of that microether: each of them should be some kind of organized flow in this imagined fluid—something like a vortex. (This is Romani's idea of a "constitutive ether").
The toroidal form of the electron vortex may be generated by the helical form of the photonic wave that produces the electron in pair creation. The antimatter counterpart of the electron, the positron, has a circulation in the opposite sense.
A New Model of Matter:
This is a new model of matter only in that it revises an old model with discoveries made in fluid dynamics. This model may form the basis of a new Unified Field Theory which can be used as a practical basis for new energy and transport technologies. It is conceivable that engineers could develop a space transportation system that will harness the power of the vortex to extract energy from the spatial medium as well as using the vortex field as a means of superfast propulsion through space. It also opens up exploration of the role of vortex dynamics in teleportation and stargate technology as well as the possibility of time travel.
This essay is a brief introduction to an idea that could develop into a vast work of further research and development.

Chronic widespread pain (CWP) affects 10% of adults and often causes significant disability in everyday life. Research on time in chronic conditions has focused on biographical disruption and perceptions of past and future. However, more mundane aspects of time are also disrupted in a condition such as CWP, which is uncertain on a minute-to-minute, day-to-day basis, as well as in the longer term. The results presented here are part of a wider study, the aim of which was to explore how people with CWP experience and give meaning to their 'condition'. This article focuses on how mundane, repetitive and taken-for-granted aspects of everyday life are disrupted for people with CWP.
Eight people aged 40–60 years living with CWP took part in multiple in-depth interviews, diaries and family interviews, exploring the meanings and interpretations of participants and individuals' experiences in a social context.
The findings illuminate the ways in which the experience of time is changed by CWP: carrying out the tasks of everyday life takes longer, routines are disrupted, and changes are needed in how time is managed. Some strategies for managing these tasks rely on ability to control one's time. However, this is not always possible and, for some, the experience of CWP becomes characterised by lack of such control.
This study explored the concept of controllable time in the experience of CWP. Regaining control over time is an important element in coping with chronic pain, and helping patients to regain such control has potential as a target for health professionals involved in pain management.
Everyday life is characterised by a number of features, including a distinctive sense of time, in terms of repetition; habit, or taken-for-grantedness; and spatial ordering, focused, although not exclusively, on the home . Living everyday life with chronic widespread pain is not simply about experiencing pain in a daily context, but is also about managing pain in the context of daily routines and activities, and, additionally, managing everyday routines and activities in the context of pain. If, as Bennett and Watson suggest, the "mundane, repetitive and taken-for-granted aspects of everyday life are of considerable significance in the life experiences of specific individuals and groups (, pxxiii)," then an exploration of these same aspects among people with chronic widespread pain will illuminate the ways in which their lives are altered by the condition.
Research on concepts of time in chronic illness has focused on biographical disruption – the disruption to existential time and perceptions of the future in life-threatening illnesses, and the alteration of perceptions of past, present and future [3–5]. Chronic illness, by definition, has a temporal nature , and these concepts are all relevant to conditions which are characterised partly by uncertainty, including chronic widespread pain [7, 8]. However, more mundane aspects of time are also disrupted in a condition such as chronic widespread pain, which is uncertain on a minute-to-minute, day-to-day basis, as well as in the longer term.
Corbin draws attention to the importance of different types of time in health and illness, distinguishing between "clock time," "historical time," "biographical time," "perceived time," and "internal time ." Historical time (the development of one's body over time, including family influences and genetic factors) and biographical time (lifetime experiences which make up a self and which may be disrupted by illness) are both relevant to work on past, present and future in chronic illness. Clock time, perceived time and internal time are more relevant to the everyday lives of people with chronic widespread pain. In this article we focus on clock time and perceived time and introduce the notion of "controllable time" as an important aspect of the experience of living with chronic widespread pain. We use clock time to refer to time related to tasks or routines to be carried out at particular points, often determined externally; for example, work or taking of medicines. We use perceived time to refer to how a person feels about time in their everyday life, whether it is that something is taking a long time to complete, or that a task cannot be sustained for any length of time. Perceived time may be taken for granted in health, but not in illness.
The aim of the wider study on which this article is based was to explore how people with chronic widespread pain experience, understand and make meaning of their 'condition', and attempt to influence or exert control over their pain [7, 8]. The aim of this article is to explore the concept of time in the everyday lives of people with chronic widespread pain.
The article is primarily a sociological analysis, but in the conclusion we will draw out some suggestions as to how our findings may inform clinical practice.
Ethical approval for the whole study was obtained from North Staffordshire Local Research Ethics Committee.
We selected participants from responders (who had agreed to further contact) to a previous community-based survey of adults carried out in 1995, designed to explore other health areas but including questions on musculoskeletal pain. Potential participants for the qualitative study were selected on the basis of having pain that was chronic (had lasted for at least three months) and widespread (occurring in the axial skeleton, including low back, above and below the waist and in contralateral limbs, these being the classification criteria for chronic widespread pain) . The final sample of eight people therefore comprised people who would have experience of chronic widespread pain, and also reflect a range of experience related to age, length of time with pain, family circumstances and so on. They also had to be willing to take part in the full qualitative study. The four men and four women ranged in age from 40–60 years. All except one had stopped work due to their health. Table 1 provides details of the participants.
In this study we took an interpretative psychosocial approach, focusing on the meanings and interpretations of participants, who are considered as active agents in managing and responding to illness , and exploring individuals' experiences in a social context. We also drew on a narrative approach, in the sense of using the stories told by research participants to explore various aspects of chronic widespread pain in their everyday lives, but within the context of cautions raised over this approach [12, 13], for example that the analysis of narrative forms or types – that is, the way in which people structure and tell their story – should not take precedence over the 'everyday and mundane dimensions of experience' .
We used a combination of data generation methods, centred around multiple in-depth interviews, which enable process or change (or indeed stability) to be highlighted, trust to be built , and a deeper understanding to be gained of 'the meaning which informants attribute to certain events' . Each participant was interviewed by JCR on three occasions over a period of eight months (2001–2002): first, using a lifegrid; second, a follow-up to the lifegrid interview; and third, an interview based on an unstructured diary, which seven participants completed. JCR also interviewed five family members (four spouses and one daughter). All interviews took place in participants' homes.
Lifegrids (see Figure 1) provide one way to obtain information on participants' life courses and enable the creation of a "diagrammatic chronology" of a participant's life [16, 17]. In practical terms a lifegrid is a chart with rows showing years in a participant's life, labelled with the actual year and the age of the individual in that year, at five or ten year intervals. Different areas of a participant's life are represented in the columns of the lifegrid, for example family, work/leisure and health . A lifegrid enables the illness experience to be incorporated into the life story and takes into account that illness does not just impact on the areas of a person's life, but is experienced there . The flexible nature of the lifegrid, combined with the movement towards task completion, means that participants can set the pace of the interview, while the joint completion of the task creates a rapport between interviewer and participants, helping to build a foundation for the follow-up interviews. The follow-up questions focused on the completed lifegrid and asked participants to elaborate on particular areas. Lifegrid and follow-up interviews lasted between one and two hours.
Diaries are useful for revealing the mundane daily activity of dealing with bodies in pain, an important and under-researched area in the study of chronic illness and chronic pain [12, 19, 20], and diary interviews allow topics that arose in diaries to be explored further. The diaries were unstructured and were left with participants for three weeks. Emphasis was placed on including any information that participants thought relevant, with examples given including how pain affected daily routine, anything done to relieve the pain and anything that happened which affected the pain. Diary interviews lasted between forty minutes and an hour.
Family members were interviewed in order to understand the experience of chronic widespread pain within a wider social context and to explore how people construct their condition and identity within different circumstances and relationships . These interviews were semi-structured, adapted to individual participants. One couple chose to take part in all their interviews together; one participant remained in the room while her husband was interviewed; the remaining interviews took place solely with the family member. Family member interviews lasted between thirty minutes and an hour.
The research was carried out in line with the British Sociological Association guidelines for conduct of ethical research . Participants gave written informed consent for each interview, re-affirmed at the end of the interview. All tapes and diaries were recorded and transcribed fully and NVivo 1.3  was used to manage the data. All names and details given here have been changed in order to preserve participants' anonymity.
Analysis was a combination of the thematic and the narrative. We attempted to use analytical methods appropriate to the different material generated by participants, drawing on, and combining elements from, different systems of coding and analysis, in particular, Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA). This process involves identifying issues of interest in transcripts, which are categorised as themes, and then clustered into 'superordinate themes'. The 'master list' of themes is then used to inform the analysis of the other data . IPA is cyclical in nature, allowing themes to be dropped, or the focus altered, depending on what emerges from the data and with the analysis of subsequent data and is also flexible, facilitating its adaptation to encompass data from different sources, including interviews and diaries. Initial analysis was carried out by JCR and discussed with BNO and JS, which informed the subsequent full analysis.
The concept of time manifests itself in various ways throughout the everyday experience of living with chronic widespread pain. In this section we focus first on participants' descriptions of "typical days" and how they balance the uncertainty of their pain with routine; and second, on the concept of control, or lack of control, in the everyday lives of people living with chronic widespread pain.
Participants' accounts of "typical days" reveal the "minutiae that make up daily living ." However, these accounts also reveal a volatility that challenges the notion of typicality, a volatility acknowledged in the title of Charmaz's work on chronic illness ("Good days, bad days") . Nevertheless, participants' descriptions of what they consider to be a typical day are useful in understanding how they manage the uncertainty of their chronic widespread pain, and it is these that we shall consider, before going on to explore how the concept of time manifests itself through the specific activities of everyday life.
Carol (Wife) : – just takes you longer.
The way in which Harry manages the balance of his everyday life is shaped by his belief that his condition will "burn itself out" and leave his body in the state it is at that time. He believes it is important to not allow his body to "seize up", thus the walks described in the extract form part of his overall exercise regimen. He emphasises that he always does his walk, even if he is in pain, although it may take him longer. So, although he attempts to limit the uncertainty in his day through forcing his body to maintain its routine, the uncertainty manifests itself in the time taken to complete this routine.
These words convey the idea of the strategy of doing what you can when you can, or of 'storing up' housework against an (unknown) time when it cannot be done, similar to the strategy of "just-in-casing" identified in previous research . This also relates to the notion of perceived time: for Natalie, time free from pain cannot be taken for granted and therefore has to be used carefully through controlling the activities carried out.
If I'm feeling all right in myself, I'm not having problems, with the two problems that I mentioned in the diary I would say that, I would treat each one on its own, how can I say, try and stick to set routine if I'm not feeling too bad in myself, but then when the problems start, I tend to go the opposite way, I don't stay to routine. I just do it whenever I can.
This extract illustrates the delicate balance between daily routine and fluctuating levels of pain. Trevor's ability to control his routine to some extent is contrasted with the uncontrollable nature of the pain, which makes the routine impossible to maintain.
While pain levels on a particular day can influence the balance of activities on that day (the notion of good days and bad days), routine can also be influenced by various other factors, including external commitments. The family context may also influence routine: for example, a typical day for Natalie is determined by what shift her husband is working. Val's morning routine is determined by a balance between her need to have someone in the house while she has a shower or bath, and the routines of her family. Although participants in this study generally needed little help with personal care activities, for Val the unpredictable nature of her pain means that, although she is able to bathe alone, she only does so when one of her family is in the house, getting up at 5.30 in the morning in order to do so. Val's self-care activities are therefore structured around clock-time, in that a specific activity has to be carried out at a particular time. Val reports saving money in order to buy a bath seat, which will remove the need for the presence of a family member and thus give her more control over her time and activities, illustrating how the ability to control one's time is related to economic circumstances.
Sometimes in the morning I think, 'Oh no,' because he used to go to work early. Sometimes when he gets up earlier than usual, I think, 'Oh no,' because we are all under one another's feet some how as we weren't before.
This short description is indicative of the changes in Sheila's relationship with time and with her domestic "space", created by her husband's chronic widespread pain. The previous routine of the household, shaped by Michael leaving for work early, to meet the demands of clock time, is now changed, leading to a need for adjustment to the movement of bodies within the space of the household. Thus control over time, in the sense of an established routine, is also changed as a result of chronic widespread pain, although this change is due to a loss of activities related to clock time.
Charmaz suggests that good days and bad days are defined according to the intrusiveness of illness . The participants in our study use their knowledge of their bodies to evaluate the level of pain and hence determine what activity can be carried out in that day. The notion of good days and bad days is thus inextricably bound up with accomplishment of activities. It is also clear that good days and bad days are linked to a sense of self and identity . A good day allows one to carry out activities that are an important part of identity, whether these are gardening or housework. Similarly, Corbin  describes the way in which time in health allows people to carry out "activities associated with self-chosen roles (p259)."
The issue of control, over bodies and time, manifests itself in participants' descriptions of typical days. On a good day the body can be controlled in order to accomplish activities, and to store up time against a bad day, on which control, and routine, are disrupted. It has been suggested that (in the case of relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis) the fluctuating nature of the symptoms creates the challenge of 'squeezing' activity into good days and preserving energy for bad days . The uncertainty in the experience of chronic widespread pain may contribute to the similar tensions and striving for balance seen in participants' accounts of managing their everyday lives.
The concept of "controllable time" is implicit in Corbin's breakdown of different types of time in health and illness and is also, as we will show in this section, an important part of the everyday life of people with chronic widespread pain.
People with chronic widespread pain experience a lack of control over time through deployment of their bodies in managing the activities of everyday life, first through the increasing time it can take to complete tasks, and second, through an inability to sustain tasks for any length of time. Both of these thus require a change in how time (and bodies) are managed and perceived. In this section we present the accounts of the impact and experience of pain alongside participants' description of the strategies they use to manage this, mirroring the ways in which participants describe their experience .
Another thing we're in the process of doing at the moment is ripping the bath out [...] because nobody uses it and I have great difficulty climbing over, in and out of the shower. So we're going to [...] have a proper shower cubicle and tray so that'll make life a lot easier, a lot easier that will, much better. Other than that I think it's just a matter of now I think I'm used to it now, and I think, 'Hang on, you've got to do this and it's going to take you so long to do so you've got to take your time and you will have to take your time and do it'.
[Duncan, 40s, follow-up to lifegrid interview].
Duncan uses the bath to illustrate his approach to everyday life problems, an approach that centres on time. He 'allows' himself time to complete tasks based on knowledge that it will take him "so long" to do, his words suggesting that he is permitting himself to take the necessary length of time. Illness cuts in to clock time, and alters perceived time because tasks take longer, as illustrated through his acknowledgement of the length of time it takes him to accomplish a task.
The other areas of everyday life in which pain reduces control over time and body are standing for any length of time, for example to iron or to prepare vegetables, and sustaining a physical task for any length of time, such as vacuuming or dusting. The main strategies participants report using for overcoming these problems are to control the relationship of the body to the physical task through sitting down to do a task that is normally done standing up; and to control the time taken to complete the task, through breaking the task up and completing small parts, interspersed with resting, expressed by Duncan as "do a bit, sit down for a bit." This strategy is also described in other studies of chronic illness and pain [27–29].
Did a little housework, dusting etc. The only way I can do it is to do a little bit then sit down and rest, but again the rests seem to be getting longer. Still the house is clean and tidy, as you know I can't abide untidiness.
Well I continued working full time. Duncan is the 'household engineer'. I think he gets frustrated because he can't do things as quickly as I can. He'll hoover [vacuum] a room, that is it for the day, whereas I hoover the whole house in half a day. I am very much aware of that fact. He does find it frustrating and I do tend to slow down on odd things I'm doing when I'm off for the day, thinking 'Well it would be rubbing it in a bit if I whiz through the house in half a day, whereas it would take him a week to do'. I am aware of that.
This extract illustrates the contrasting relationship that this couple have with the physical environment, with clock time and with perceived time . Becky's awareness of how much more quickly she can complete tasks leads her to manipulate, or control, time and the physical environment in order to reduce the salience of her husband's condition. She thus plays a collaborative role in maintaining his positive identity .
Int : What about weekends? Do you sort of do things sort of differently?
Val : No, just generally, I mean that is when the biggest part of the washing and ironing has to be done then. So erm, [daughter] has to sort of help me with that, you know.
For Val, the weekend is marked not by an absence of work, but by the presence of work, in the form of washing and ironing. Chronic widespread pain disrupts the rhythms of daily household tasks, reducing the control that sufferers have over time. Having to wait for someone to help means relinquishing control over time.
I've got a piece of dust over here and I thought, 'I will get that thing [mini-sweeper] out when [interviewer] has gone later on this afternoon'. So I mean you're always on the look out for things make life a little bit easier for you, so it gives you that bit of – you haven't got to rely on somebody coming and doing that for you.
Val reports noticing that things that need doing because she has a closer relationship with her everyday physical environment, and because she has the time to notice. Her use of a mini-sweeper not only reduces her reliance on other people but also leads to increased control over her environment and over her time. This supports the suggestion that a mechanical device is preferable to relying on a person, because of the issue of reciprocity, and as illustrated above, the connotations of dependence, and the issue of control . Similarly, in a previous study some women did not ask for help with all tasks in order to retain control .
Chronic widespread pain arises, is experienced, and is managed, in the realm of sufferers' everyday lives. In this article we have shown how the concept of time manifests itself in various ways in the everyday lives of those living with chronic widespread pain. We have also shown how people and their families attempt to control time in order to minimise the impact of the condition. Although the concept of controllable time underlies some of Corbin's elements of time in health and illness , our study suggests that the notion of controllable time can be identified more explicitly in the accounts of people with chronic widespread pain and those of their families as an important part of the experience of chronic widespread pain. Controllable (or uncontrollable) time can be identified in accounts relating to management of the body in exercise, carrying out household chores, carrying out self-care routines, family routines with regard to use of space; in short, those "mundane, repetitive and taken-for-granted aspects of everyday life" identified as being of considerable significance in the experiences of individuals . The need to manipulate time and re-define it according to one's changing needs is important.
One of the limitations of this study is in the nature of the sample. All but one of the participants had stopped work due to ill health, which may have created a particular relationship with time. Future research could usefully focus on the experience of time in the context of being in paid employment and having chronic widespread pain. It would also be useful to explore whether people with chronic regional pain conditions experience time in the same way as people with chronic widespread pain. The strength of this study lies in the in-depth understanding it provides, through the combination of data generation methods, of the experience for people and their families of living with a condition such as chronic widespread pain. This understanding encompasses both a broader biographical perspective and a perspective that gives prominence to the routine and everyday. It also builds on our previous work in this area [7, 8] on time and uncertainty in relation to people's perceptions of their futures with chronic widespread pain and to the disruptive effects on people's biographical lives.
For health care professionals, it may be helpful to recognise the different ways in which the uncertainty inherent in chronic widespread pain disrupts everyday experience of time. The experience of chronic widespread pain is one of constant adjustment and balancing between this uncertainty and other issues, including the need for routine, identity, enjoyment and fulfilment of roles within a family. An understanding of these phenomena will provide clinicians with a fuller understanding of how time plays an important role in patients' subjective experience of pain and their relationships with family members.
Understanding the issue of control and time in chronic widespread pain may enable health care professionals to support their patients in time management, for example, through adjusting pain relief, changing tasks and re-defining daily routines, providing advice on aids and adaptations and discussing formal and informal support. Moreover, it may also allow greater insight into the way in which patients incorporate treatments or management strategies within their daily lives, highlighting possible reasons for a lack of congruence between professionals' recommendations and patients' priorities, and allow realistic therapeutic timescales to be negotiated. In particular, it is likely that professionals will be better able to assist and advise patients regarding appropriate strategies and support to deal with the challenges of everyday function in the face of chronic pain.
The research was funded through the UK NHS(E) Capacity Building Programme. We are grateful to the participants, who gave their time, and so much more, freely and generously.
JCR, BNO and JS planned and designed the study. JCR carried out data collection. All authors were involved in analysis. All authors read and approved the final manuscript.

Plans also call for opening a craft brewery in Mason.
BASIL'S BOMBSHELL: It will open a new restaurant AND a new craft brewery
Growing local chain to move into space at the Mall at Fairfield Commons, then open new brewery in Mason
Basil's on Market, which already operates three restaurants in the region, will add a new location in Beavercreek, and it also plans to launch a craft brewery in Mason to produce beer for its restaurants and for distribution in southwest Ohio.
The newest Basil's on Market restaurant will move into the just-vacated space that housed Flyboys Deli near the main entrance of the Mall at Fairfield Commons in Beavercreek.
>> A look back at the best new Dayton-area restaurants that opened in 2019
"Basil's is excited for the opportunity to go into the Beavercreek area, because this is something we have been searching for for some time," Jeffrey Finkelstein, co-founder of Basil's on Market, told this news outlet Thursday.
>> PHOTOS: Revelers pack the Century Bar for one last drink at the original location
Basil's on Market operates restaurants in Troy, downtown Dayton and Mason, all of which will remain open, Finkelstein said.
Finkelstein and Basil's on Market co-founder Todd Uhlir also own Locktenders, a separate restaurant concept which opened four months ago in downtown Piqua.
>> RELATED: Plans for BBQ restaurant in downtown Dayton stall
If all goes well, the Mall at Fairfield Commons Basil's on Market will open this spring, Finkelstein said. It will be open seven days a week for lunch and dinner, serving the same menu as other Basil's on Market locations, he said. The new restaurant will employ about 25.
>> Local pizza restaurant is for sale; co-owner is looking to retire
Opening the Beavercreek restaurant will give Basil's on Market's owners the opportunity to re-tool its Mason location to include a craft brewery to be called "Off the Rails Brewery," which will brew beer for all Basil's locations, Finkelstein said. Long-term plans call for distributing Off the Rails beers throughout the Dayton and Cincinnati areas, the Basil's co-founder said.
>> Locktenders in Pique is newest 'culinary adventure' for Basil's on Market founders
Basil's on Market will open on new restaurant in the former Flyboys Deli space at the Mall at Fairfield Commons and plans to open a craft brewery in Mason, according to its co-founder.
The first Basil's on Market bistro-style restaurant opened in 2014 in downtown Troy. The downtown Dayton restaurant, which overlooks the Great Miami River, welcomed its first customers in 2016, and the Mason location opened in 2018. Each step of the way, Basil's on Market's founders have said they intend to expand the concept across the region.
>> NEARBY: Downtown Dayton restaurant closes after 16 years, but something new is coming
"We look forward to the Beavercreek location opening early spring and being able to contribute a locally owned business to that area," Finkelstein said Thursday. "We will also be offering a 15 percent discount to all active military members who dine with us. We look forward to all future partnerships that we will create in the area."

Financial Reform Hits Choppy Waters
Washington Matters
Reforming the regulatory structure for the U.S. financial industry was never going to be smooth sailing, but there was a time when the general consensus was for bold action. A year ago, everyone was upset at the need for a government bailout, with both parties agreeing that something should be done to harness bank behavior. Voters were ready to see heads roll after the economic meltdown that pushed up unemployment and choked off credit. Bank lobby groups were hard pressed to object too strenuously after their members held out hands for taxpayer bailout money. But a year later, the Obama administration and Congress are already hitting choppy waters.
That's partly because every lawmaker and regulator has his or her own idea about how best to chart the course into unexplored territory. Unlike in the health care debate, here the administration weighed in early with its own plan about how to keep financial firms from causing economic meltdown. But it hasn't won many converts. Regulators are making their rounds on the speaking circuit trying to protect their own turf. And senators and representatives are in the process of writing new legislation that tries to appease voters and placate lobby groups reinvigorated with time.
There's agreement on general principles: boosting consumer protections, eliminating risky lending behavior and making financial failures less disruptive to the economy. Differences lie in how far to go in every arena. Already Rep. Barney Frank (D-Mass), who heads the House Financial Services Committee, has ceded some concessions to business groups, by saying he intends to limit the power of a proposed consumer protection agency. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce still isn't satisfied. And bank lobby groups continue to fight against the idea of such an agency at all.
On the other side of the Capitol, Sen. Chris Dodd (D-Conn), head of the Senate Banking Committee, has thrown everyone for a loop by announcing his intention to consolidate myriad oversight agencies into a single banking regulator. It is a plan that FDIC chairwoman Sheila Bair, Federal Reserve chairman Ben Bernanke and other agency heads won't bless. The Obama administration wants to combine only two agencies, the OTC and the OCC, leaving the others intact.
The lack of consensus will make it harder for the administration as it tries this week to convince world leaders at the G20 meeting in Pittsburgh that American regulatory reform won't crimp international cooperation. It will be a tough sell as world economic leaders hash out accounting standards and guidelines on how much capital banks should hold.
Meanwhile financial firms still move in the same regulatory regime that existed when the seeds of the crisis were sown years ago. It won't be until early next year before differences get settled. Even then, the new rulebook may not be enough to keep the next crisis at bay.

Q: Hide actual serial number from application I do not want certain applications to get my actual serial number (the one you get with ioreg -l | grep IOPlatformSerialNumber). How can the application get the serial number? Can I change the return request to a serial number I specified myself?

A: In general this is not easy to do (i.e. basically impossible for a non-technical user).
If you instead of this general case had a specific application in mind - that changes things considerably. With a specific application, you can use a system call tracer in order to discover which method the application uses to get to the serial number. Then you can override that particular method in order to return a faked serial number to the application. That could be done by modifying the application binary itself, by code injection through DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES or by a number of other methods.

Chevrolet Unveil Electric Camaro Drag Racer
By FastMuscle | October 30, 2018
By Dave Ashton
We were wondering who would be the first car maker out of the blocks with an electrified pony or muscle car. Now it seems to be Chevy with their eCOPO Camaro just ahead of the opening for the SEMA show, Las Vegas.
The car is completely electric powered and has been developed alongside Hancock and Lane Racing, who are behind the all electric Pontiac Firebird 'Shock and Awe' capable of an eight second quarter-mile time. The Camaro features a new 800 V battery from General Motors capable of 700 hp and 600 pound-feet of torque. This should equate to a possible nine second quarter mile time.
The motor (can we still say powertrain?) consists of two BorgWarner HVH 250-150 motors, linked to a regular automatic transmission and fixed rear axle as in conventional drag racers. The electric motor is powered by a battery pack with four 175 pounds, 200-volt modules, spread throughout the car for even weight distribution. One being near the rear seats, the other near the spare tire well and the other over the rear axle. The roll cage has also been adapted to cover the batteries. the weight distribution works out to a 44/56 ratio.
If the system works out, it looks likely that the electric motor setup could be an aftermarket crate engine. The bell housing and other features are similar to the LS line of V8 engines, which means it could in theory seamlessly be fitted to any GM transmission. Thus, it's likely in the very near future anybody wanting to retrofit their GM built car with an electric engine may have a direct replacement to purchase.
Once SEMA is fully underway, it will be interesting to see if there any other electric engine/car offerings.

The first draft resolution seeks to improve the conservation status of African-Eurasian migratory landbirds (mostly passerines), which are probably declining faster than any other suite of birds in the region, and are a priority for conservation attention. Among these species are five that are already listed as Endangered or Vulnerable by BirdLife for the IUCN Red List, and which are therefore included in Appendix I of the CMS. Four of these, plus a further 80 species, are listed on Appendix II of the Convention, as species that need or would significantly benefit from international co-operation.
Appendix II includes at least 13 species which have suffered particularly severe declines, including several species of warbler, European Pied Flycatcher Ficedula hypoleuca, Spotted Flycatcher Muscicapa striata, Northern Wheatear Oenanthe oenanthe, Whinchat Saxicola rubetra, Common Nightingale Luscinia megarhynchos, European Turtle-dove Streptopelia turtur and European Bee-eater Merops apiaster. Six trans-Saharan migrants that are now seen as of greatest conservation concern are not listed on either Appendix: Common Cuckoo Cuculus canorus, Eurasian Wryneck Jynx torquilla, Barn Swallow Hirundo rustica, Northern House Martin Delichon urbicum, Yellow Wagtail Motacilla flava and Tree Pipit Anthus trivialis.
African-Eurasian migratory landbirds are not covered by current flyway initiatives and conservation activities, as identified in the existing CMS flyway resolution. They can only be conserved through co-ordinated action, as they face a range of different threats on their breeding, passage and wintering grounds. "For many of the fastest declining species, the main drivers of decline appear to be away from European breeding grounds", said Dr Leon Bennun, BirdLife International's Director of Science .
"In the years ahead, this group of birds is likely to receive the sort of attention currently afforded to farmland birds." CMS provides the only forum through which to co-ordinate action for these landbirds. As most of the species are dispersed over very wide ranges, and not concentrated in sites or priority habitats, there is no provision for them, at the flyway level, from any other forum. "Without such coordinated action, range states will fail to meet their biodiversity targets", said Dr Bennun.
No amount of effort within one country or one region can stop these declines. Landbirds are not covered by the existing instruments in the framework of the CMS for the conservation of African-Eurasian migratory birds, namely the African Eurasian Migratory Waterbird Agreement (AEWA) and the Memorandum of Understanding on the Conservation of Migratory Birds of Prey in Africa and Eurasia (AEBOP). While much of AEWA can be delivered by a site-based approach, and much of AEBOP by a species-focused approach (eg addressing threats from powerlines, wind farms and poisoning), a land-use policy approach will be required for migratory landbirds. This will require work with many organisations and mechanisms, including FAO, UNDP, and the Conventions on Biodiversity, Desertification and Climate Change, and therefore leadership and coordination from CMS will be essential.
The resolution calls upon Parties to the CMS -and also range states which are not Parties- to adopt strategies to promote the conservation of migratory land, such as alleviating habitat degradation through sustainable land management policies and practices, ending unsustainable levels of hunting, monitoring population trends and supporting research into migration routes and habitat requirements on the staging and wintering grounds, as well as promoting awareness of the plight of migratory landbirds, and sharing knowledge and experience of best practice approaches to conservation.
Following a meeting with the High Commissioner for Ghana at the British Birdwatching Fair in August, and subsequent discussions with the Ghanaian CMS focal point in Accra, the resolution was formally submitted to the CMS secretariat by the Ghanaian government. It is tabled in the agenda for discussion on the morning of Thursday 24th Nov 2012.
It can be found at http://www.cms.int/bodies/COP/cop10/draft_res_and_rec/res10_27_afr-eur_landbirds_e.pdf. In advance of the scheduled discussion, BirdLife is hosting a side event at the conference on Tuesday 22nd November, to which CMS delegates from all appropriate range states will be invited. BirdLife/RSPB (BirdLife in the UK) also supported a preparatory workshop, organised by CMS/UNEP for African CMS national focal points in Entebbe, Uganda, during the last week in October. "This was hugely successful, particularly for the landbird resolution, since it was used as a case study during the event", said Dr Danaë Sheehan, Senior Conservation Scientist at the RSPB.
The development of an action plan for migratory landbirds has practical backing. In addition to the Swiss government funding, the Birdlife African Partnership can provide a coordinator for the development of the plan, while Ghana, the resolution proposer, has expressed willingness to host an action plan workshop.

We mourn the passing of Adam Helman who was the driving force behind the county highpointing website.
Adam Helman lived in San Diego, California and pursued climbing all year-round. Although he earned a doctorate in physical chemistry, for the past dozen years he has been a software designer and scientific programmer.
Upset with the growing lack of opportunities in Corporate America for creative, mathematically inclined people, Adam changed focus and struck out to use his considerable analytical skills, programming experience, and love of mountains by writing a book that leverages all three areas.
Instrumental in this regard was his best friend Edward Earl, also of San Diego. Edward has been a prominence expert for several years, and, with a similar educational background, wrote scientific software for the automated computation of prominence. They often climb together, be it in the Southern California desert or some peak in the Andes of South America.
Adam is a county highpointer, with the goal of reaching the highest summits of counties in the western United States. He is webmaster for the county highpointer club, a site that he designed and implemented in 2000. Since then, the county highpointing hobby has seen an explosion in activity – with nearly 300 members throughout the United States.
When time and finances permit Adam organizes and participates in climbing expeditions to Latin America, his knowledge of Spanish being helpful. He is most pleased with an ascent of Nevado Illimani, Bolivia's most famous mountain, in May 2001 with Bob Packard (21,201 feet).
Adam Helman maintains a set of personal web pages. There is a mountaineering page with links to several climbing-oriented trip reports.

The reader will find 4 articles that establish the position of Chicago against the possibility of a U.S. preemptive attack on Iran. They named the reasons why it would be a mistake to start a war and laid the foundations for local governments play an active role in international policy issues, taking into account the costs involved for this type of cities in terms of lives affected and in what in economics is called "opportunity cost". Given this, Chicago through coalition "Chicago no war on Iran Coalition" feel their position through a resolution against the attack and argues the need to seek a diplomatic solution. Finally, the articles indicate the need for other cities to follow the example of Chicago, generating international policy strategies against the national administration.

Q: java regex get value after specific value I have some endpoints that contains /bot/{idBot}, i need to extract that idBot.
Can we do it via regex in the java ?
here are some examples of endpoints:
/bot/6/block/30/content/text
/bot/6/block/content/input/list/option/30
/account/bot/32/language
/account/bot/6

tried with that with no sucess!
Matcher m2 = Pattern.compile("/bot/(\\d+)").matcher(path);

Edit: I have some endpoints like this:
/account/checkToken
/account/checkUser

those need to be ignored!
thanks!!

A: You could use String#replaceAll for a regex one-liner option:
String input = "/account/bot/32/language";
String num = input.matches(".*/bot/\\d+.*") ? input.replaceAll(".*/bot/(\\d+).*", "$1") : "";
System.out.println(num);

A: matcher.group(1) is what you are looking for.
Look at the full code below.
Sample Code :
import java.util.regex.Matcher;
import java.util.regex.Pattern;

final String regex = "\\/bot\\/(\\d+)";
final String string = "/bot/6/block/30/content/text\n"
     + "/bot/6/block/content/input/list/option/30\n"
     + "/account/bot/32/language\n"
     + "/account/bot/6";

final Pattern pattern = Pattern.compile(regex, Pattern.MULTILINE);
final Matcher matcher = pattern.matcher(string);

while (matcher.find()) {
    System.out.println("Full match: " + matcher.group(0));
    System.out.println("Required match: " + matcher.group(1));
}

Output :
Full match: /bot/6
Required match: 6
Full match: /bot/6
Required match: 6
Full match: /bot/32
Required match: 32
Full match: /bot/6
Required match: 6

EDIT : To support excluding some APIs, updated regex
Added negative lookahead

Interview with Lincoln football coach
following win at Olympia Send a link to a friend
By Bob Frank
[SEPT. 2, 2003]
LDN: You have to be happy with the score. How do you think the team played tonight?
Coach Oaks: We played OK. We didn't play great, but we didn't play bad. We made some mistakes. It's nice to come in and win and not have the mistakes cost you. We did pretty good job in protecting the ball… Our offensive line did a good job in controlling the line of scrimmage after the first quarter. I was real proud of them.
LDN: You stated earlier this year how these first three road games are going to be. How does this first win set the tone for the next two road games?
Coach Oaks: It's a big win for us. It's nice to come up here and get a win. Like I said, we played OK. We didn't play great, but we certainly didn't play bad, so it's nice to be able to come back on Monday and work on those mistakes and try to correct them so we can get better. It's a great start of us for the season. I'm real proud of the guys.
[to top of second column in this interview]
LDN: You have Lanphier next week. What do you know about them?
Coach Oaks: From what I have heard they have some good skill positions again this year… They have some linemen -- they always do -- but what I have heard is depth is one thing they have some concern about. I don't really know real well, but we'll see tomorrow night when they play against Manual in Springfield.

Does Regular Exercise Affect Life Expectancy?
A recent study published in, The Lancet, shows that daily light exercise of 15 minutes per day can increase the life expectancy by three years and lower the risk of death by 14%. This is especially true in the case of people who are inactive. In this study, the researchers compared inactive people with active people who engaged in regular physical activity.
World Health Organization has recommended 150 minutes of moderate but regular exercise in a week to have maximum health benefits. Whether this recommendation has any impact on the life expectancy was not clear. Chi-Pang Wen, MD, MPH, DrPH, of National Health Research Institutes in Taiwan and China Medical University Hospital, and Jackson Pui Man Wai, PhD, of National Taiwan Sport University and other researchers studied the impact of different types of physical activity on the health of the participants. Data was collected from more than 400,000 people participating in a medical screening program in Taiwan. The average follow-up for the study was eight years.

Based on self-reported data on exercise, participants were divided into five groups – inactive, low, medium, high and very high. Researchers assessed the life expectancy for each of the groups after calculating the hazard ratios for the mortality risks of each group compared to the inactive group.
Participants in the low-volume activity group, who exercised for about 15 minutes a day had a 14% reduction in the risk of death, a 10% reduced risk of death due to cancer and an average increase of three years in the life expectancy when compared to the participants in the inactive group. Including 15 minutes more of exercise, reduced the risk of death by further 4% and risk of cancer death by 1%. This was applicable to both the sexes and all age groups and even to those with the risk of heart disease. The risk of death was 17% more in the inactive group when compared to the participants in the low-volume activity group.
Researchers report that if the minimum amount of activity suggested by them is strictly followed, mortality due to heart disease, cancer, and diabetes can be reduced considerably. According to Anil Nigam, MD, and Martin Juneau, MD, of the Montreal Heart Institute and the Université de Montréal, Quebec, Canada, the feeling that even 15 minutes of activity can reduce the risk of death due to a variety of conditions can encourage many individuals to start exercise even with a busy schedule. But though the study show that just a little amount of activity is good, more is better, adds Nigam.

Worcester's Union Hill neighborhood has had more than its share of trouble in recent years, from housing code violations and crime to a fire that took the life of Firefighter Jon D. Davies Sr. in December 2011.
On Saturday, a team of city officials, including code inspector Francis X. Sena, other city workers, and a police officer and a firefighter, went door to door through parts of the neighborhood, looking for trouble before it starts.
The workers' mission was as delicate as it was simple, and while the means used were smiles and patient explanations, the purpose had an urgency to it: Preventing future tragedies.
The decline of a given property or an entire neighborhood is not always easy to explain, but many of the elements involved can be identified. They include accumulated trash, porches and steps that are missing or broken, doors that are improperly secured, and fire exits that are blocked. Sometimes the problems are more than physical, and include landlords and/or tenants who either refuse to comply with the rules, or simply don't know where to turn for help.
Putting workers' feet on the street and doing a detailed survey in one of the city's most challenging neighborhoods represents money and time well spent.
Not every tenant or property owner will appreciate the attention, of course, but those who do welcome city officials, and work with them, will have played a part in making their neighborhood and their city a better place to live. This is a smart investment on behalf of taxpayers, made by a city that is seeking to identify and solve small problems, before they turn into larger, sometimes tragic ones.

Magical new ingredient alert! Prepared roasted garlic. I found a package near the mushrooms at Whole Foods and was instantly, irrevocably moved to make soup as soon as possible. The roasted garlic gives a sweet, intense flavor that makes anything taste like it's been cooking for ages. In reality, this soup comes together in about 45 minutes.
Combine the roasted garlic with turkey Italian sausage and Parmesan cheese and you can eat this soup for days. Kale and farro make it a nice balanced meal, and it freezes well for future lunches.
If you can't find pre-roasted garlic, it's easy to make your own. Preheat the oven to 400F. Take at least one head of garlic and peel off the loose, papery layers while leaving all the cloves intact. Cut off the top 1/4" of the head, exposing just the top edges of the cloves. Drizzle with olive oil and a pinch of salt. Then wrap tightly in foil and roast for about 40 minutes, until cloves are soft and creamy. You can roast a bit longer to create more intensely sweet flavor. To use, just squeeze the softened clove out of the skin.
Heat 1 tsp olive oil over medium heat in a large soup pot. Crumble Italian sausage into pan and cook until lightly browed, about 3 minutes. Remove sausage from pan.
Add remaining olive oil and heat over medium-low heat. Add onion, celery, carrot and garlic plus 1/2 tsp salt and stir. Cover and cook for about 8 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add mushrooms to pan and cook another 3-4 minutes until softened. Add reserved sausage, kale, farro and broth or water. Add a bit more water if it looks too dry, and add a teaspoon of salt if you aren't using any broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and cover. Simmer for 20 minutes, until farro is softened. Taste and season with salt and pepper.
Serve with a grating of Parmesan cheese.

President Akufo-Addo approves nuclear technology in Ghana's energy mix - GhScientific
GNA- President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has approved the inclusion of nuclear technology into Ghana's power generation mix.
The move is in consonance with the global collective commitment to the sustainable availability of power, and the peaceful exploitation of nuclear energy to enhance rapid industrialization, and to propel economic growth.
A statement issued in Accra on Wednesday and signed by President Akufo-Addo said Ghana satisfied all the relevant obligatory technical issues related to the introduction of nuclear power and had met all the first Phase of nuclear infrastructure requirements as recommended by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).
Consequently, the President has directed the Minister of Environment, Science, Technology and Innovation (MESTI) and the Minister of Energy (MoE) to collaborate with the Chief of Staff at the Presidency "to take all the necessary steps to move the Ghana Nuclear Power Programme Organisation (GNPPO) from the Ministry of Energy to the Office of the President, to enhance proper coordination among the key institutions already established."
The statement said the Ghana Atomic Energy Commission (GAEC) and its technical Institute, the Nuclear Power Institute (NPI-GAEC), would continue to play its supportive role to the GNPPO at the Office of the President following its re-alignment.
Ghana in August 2013 submitted a letter to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) declaring the country's intention to pursue a nuclear power programme for peaceful purposes.
That move was the result of a cabinet decision in 2008 to include nuclear energy into the country's energy generation mix, that led to the establishment of the Ghana Nuclear Power Programme Organisation (GNPPO) to oversee the implementation and coordination of the nuclear power programme.
Subsequently, two other key institutions- Nuclear Regulatory Authority (NRA) Ghana, an independent nuclear regulatory body, and Nuclear Power Ghana (NPG), a project company were established by the Government to take up the role and responsibility as owner-operator.
In 2017 and 2019, the IAEA International Peer Review Mission undertook a review of the status of Ghana's Phase 1 nuclear infrastructure development and concluded that Ghana had satisfied all the prescribed studies for government to make a knowledgeable commitment to a Nuclear Power Programme.
The statement said the Government was committed to the peaceful uses of nuclear technology and would continue international cooperation and collaborations and participate in enhancing knowledge in all peaceful applications of nuclear technology.
It also stated the government's commitment to transparency, adherence to the strict standards of safety, security, and accountability in the peaceful uses of nuclear technology, and would in the subsequent phases of the programme use nuclear technology to generate electricity to accelerate national development and industrialisation."
