\section{Introduction}

Mean-field (MF) method based on isospin-invariant
Skyrme~\cite{[Sky59]} interaction is proven to be extremely
successful in reproducing bulk nuclear properties, see~\cite{[Ben03]}
and Refs.\ cited therein.  There is, however, a clear experimental evidence
that the strong nucleon-nucleon (\textit{NN}) interaction violates the isospin
symmetry. Based on the differences in phase shifts and scattering
lengths, it was shown that the \textit{nn} interaction is $\sim$1\%
stronger than \textit{pp} interaction and that the \textit{np}
interaction is $\sim$2.5\% stronger than the average of \textit{nn}
and \textit{pp} interactions~\cite{[Mac01a]}.

The Coulomb force plays very important role in the formation of
nuclear structure. At the same time, acting only between protons, it
is the main source of breaking of the isospin symmetry.  A systematic
study by Nolen and Schiffer~\cite{[Nol69]} showed that the experimental differences between the binding energies (BE) of the mirror nuclei, mirror displacement energies (MDEs):
\begin{equation}
\mathrm{MDE}=BE\left(T,T_z=-T\right)-BE\left(T,T_z=+T\right), \label{eq:MDE}
\end{equation}
cannot be reproduced with the Coulomb interaction as the only source of the isospin-symmetry breaking (ISB), see also~\cite{[Bro00b],[Kan13s],[Col98]}.
Another effect which cannot be reproduced by means of an approach involving only isoscalar strong force is the so-called triplet displacement energy (TDE)~\cite{[Sat14s]}:
\begin{eqnarray}
\mathrm{TDE}=BE\left(T=1,T_z=-1\right)+BE\left(T=1,T_z=+1\right)\notag\\
-2BE\left(T=1,T_z=0\right),\label{eq:TDE}
\end{eqnarray}
which measures the curvature of binding energies of isospin triplets. The MDEs and TDEs are related to the charge-symmetry breaking (CSB) and
charge-independence breaking (CIB) components of the \textit{NN} interaction, respectively. The aim of this work is to present the preliminary results of the generalized Skyrme approach that includes
the CSB and CIB zero-range terms and quantifies their impact on the MDEs and TDEs.

\section{Classification of the ISB interactions}

On a fundamental level, the isospin symmetry is broken due to (i)
different masses and electromagnetic interactions of $u$ and $d$
quarks (which translates at a hadronic level into differences of the
masses of hadrons within the same isospin multiplet), (ii) meson mixing,
and (iii) irreducible meson-photon exchanges. The CSB mostly originates
from the difference in masses of protons and neutrons, leading to
the difference in the kinetic energies and influencing the boson
exchange. For the CIB, the major cause is the pion mass splitting. For
more details see Refs.~\cite{[Mac01a],[Mil95]}.

Henley and Miller introduced a convenient and commonly used
classification of various ISB terms~\cite{[Mil95],[Hen79]}. According
to this classification, the isospin-invariant (isoscalar) \textit{NN}
interactions are called the class~I forces. The class~II isotensor
forces preserve the charge symmetry, breaking charge independence at the same time. The
class~III forces break both the charge independence and charge
symmetry, staying fully symmetric under interchange of nucleonic indices in
the isospace. Finally, forces of class~IV break both symmetries and
mix isospin already at the two-body level. The classification is commonly
used in the framework of models based on boson-exchange formalism,
like CD-Bonn~\cite{[Mac01a]} or AV18~\cite{[Wir13s]}. So far, apart from Ref.~\cite{[Bro00b]}, it has
not been directly used within the DFT formalism, which is usually based on
isospin-invariant strong forces.

\section{Extended Skyrme model}

To account for the CIB and CSB effects, we have extended the conventional Skyrme interaction by adding zero-range interactions
of class II and class III:
\begin{eqnarray}
\hat{V}^{\rm{II}}(i,j) & = &
\frac12 t_0^{\rm{II}}\, \delta\left(\gras{r}_i - \gras{r}_j\right)
\left(1 - x_0^{\rm{II}}\,\hat P^\sigma_{ij}\right)
\left[3\hat{\tau}_3(i)\hat{\tau}_3(j)-\hat{\vec{\tau}}(i)\circ\hat{\vec{\tau}}(j)\right],
\label{eq:Skyrme_classII}\\
\hat{V}^{\rm{III}}(i,j) & = &
\frac12 t_0^{\rm{III}}\, \delta\left(\gras{r}_i - \gras{r}_j\right)
\left(1 - x_0^{\rm{III}}\,\hat P^\sigma_{ij}\right)
\left[\hat{\tau}_3(i)+\hat{\tau}_3(j)\right],
\label{eq:Skyrme_classIII}
\end{eqnarray}
where $t_0^{\rm{II}}$, $t_0^{\rm{III}}$, $x_0^{\rm{II}}$, and $x_0^{\rm{III}}$ are adjustable parameters and
$\hat P^\sigma_{ij}$  is the spin-exchange operator. The corresponding contributions to energy density functional (EDF)
read:
\begin{eqnarray}
\mathcal{H}_{\rm{II}} = & \frac{1}{2}t_0^{\rm{II}}\left(1-x_0^{\rm{II}}\right) & \hspace{-6pt}
(\rho_n^2+\rho_p^2-2\rho_n\rho_p-2\rho_{np}\rho_{pn}\notag\\
& &-\gras{s}_{n}^2-\gras{s}_{p}^2+2\gras{s}_{n}\cdot\gras{s}_{p}+2\gras{s}_{np}\cdot\gras{s}_{pn}),\label{eq:ED_classII}
\\
\mathcal{H}_{\rm{III}} = & \frac{1}{2}t_0^{\rm{III}}\left(1-x_0^{\rm{III}}\right) & \hspace{-6pt}
\left(\rho_n^2-\rho_p^2 - \gras{s}_{n}^2+\gras{s}_{p}^2\right),
\label{eq:ED_classIII}
\end{eqnarray}
where $\rho$ and $\gras{s}$ are scalar and spin (vector) densities, respectively. Note, that the effect of spin exchange
leads to a trivial rescaling of the coupling constants, and can be omitted by setting $x_0^{\rm{II}} = x_0^{\rm{III}}=0.$
Hence, the extended formalism depends on two new coupling constants.

The contribution to EDF from the class III force depends entirely on
the standard $nn$ and $pp$ densities and, therefore, can be taken into account
within the conventional $pn$-separable DFT approach. The contribution
from the class II force, on the other hand, depends explicitly on the
mixed densities, $\rho_{np}$ and $\gras{s}_{np}$, and requires the use
of $pn$-mixed DFT~\cite{[Sat13cs],[She14s]}, augmented by the isospin
projection to control this degree of freedom.

The proposed extension was implemented within the code
HFODD~\cite{[Sch12a]} that allows for the $pn$-mixing in the
particle-hole channel. The isospin degree of freedom is controlled
using the isocranking method -- an analogue of the cranking technique,
which is widely used in high-spin physics~\cite{[Sat13cs]}. The
method allows us to calculate the entire isospin multiplet, $T$, by
starting from an isospin-aligned state $|T,T_z=T\rangle$ and
isocranking it by an angle $\theta$ around the $x$-axis in the isospace.
The isocranking can be regarded as an approximate method to perform the isospin
projection. The rigorous treatment of the isospin quantum number
within the $pn$-mixed DFT formalism requires full, three-dimensional
isospin projection, which is currently under development.

\label{fig:test}
\end{figure}

\section{Numerical results}

To investigate the influence of new terms on the
ground-state (g.s.) binding energies, we first performed a test calculation
without Coulomb for a~case of the isospin triplet in the
$A=30$ isobars. By adding to the isospin-invariant Skyrme
interaction either the class II or class III forces we were able to
delineate the influence of hadronic ISB forces on the binding
energies and TDE and MDE energy indicators. The results are depicted in
Fig.~\ref{fig:test}. As anticipated, the CIB class II force changes
the curvature (TDE) of binding energies  within the triplet but
almost does not affect the MDE of its $T_z=\pm1$ members. Conversely,
the class III force, which breaks the charge symmetry,
strongly affects the values of MDE, introducing only minor corrections to the
TDE, which are due to the self-consistency.

\noindent

Coulomb interaction was included. The lower panels show differences
between the theoretical calculations with the ISB terms included and
experimental values.
}
\label{fig:results}
\end{figure}

The test shows that the ISB forces of class II and III contribute
almost exclusively to TDEs and MDEs, respectively. It justifies our
strategy of fitting the $t_{0}^{\rm{II}}$ and $t_{0}^{\rm{III}}$
coupling constants to the TDE and MDE residuals $-$ the differences
between experimental and theoretical results obtained using
the conventional MF model that involves only the isospin-invariant Skyrme and Coulomb
forces. Moreover, since the residuals are relatively small, the fit
can be done in a perturbative way what leads to:
$t^{\rm{II}}_0=20$\,MeV and $t^{\rm{III}}_0=-8$\,MeV. These values
were subsequently used to calculate MDEs and TDEs for isospin
triplets in the $sd$-shell nuclei. The results are presented in
Fig.~\ref{fig:results}. Without the hadronic ISB forces, the
discrepancies between the experimental and the theoretical values of MDEs (dubbed the
Nolen-Schiffer anomaly~\cite{[Nol69]}) are of order of
1\,MeV. For TDEs, they are on average 0.3\,MeV. Moreover, the conventional model
cannot reproduce a very characteristic staggering of TDEs between the
$A=4n$ and $A=4n+2$ triplets.

The inclusion of the hadronic ISB terms of class II and class III
allows us to reduce the average disagreement between experiment and
theory to a level of about 100\,keV for TDEs and 130\,keV for MDEs. Moreover, as shown in the
figure, the extended model allows to account, for the first time, for
the $A=4n$ and $A=4n+2$ staggering of TDEs. It is worth underlying
that the results for the $4n+2$ triplets were obtained by
isocranking the isospin-aligned $|T=1,T_z=1\rangle$ MF solutions in
even-even nuclei, which are uniquely defined and represent the
$J=0^+$ ground states. The isospin-aligned $|T=1,T_z=1\rangle$ MF
solutions in the $4n$ triplets, on the other hand, refer to odd-odd
nuclei. These solutions are, in general, aligned in space and
represents the $J\ne 0$ states. Due to the shape-alignment ambiguity,
see Ref.~\cite{[Sat12s]}, the MF solutions in odd-odd nuclei are not
uniquely defined. The results shown in Fig.~\ref{fig:results}
represent arithmetic averages over the MF solutions that correspond
to spin alignments along the short, middle, and long axes of the
nuclear shape, respectively.

\section{Summary}

The conventional MF model involving the isospin-invariant Skyrme force
with Coulomb interaction included has been extended by adding two zero-range terms
that break charge symmetry and charge independence. The
two free parameters were adjusted to reproduce the experimental values of the MDEs
and TDEs.  This allowed us to reduce the discrepancy between experimental
and theoretical values to, on average, $\sim$100~keV, and to
reproduce, for the first time, the $A=4n$ and $A=4n+2$ staggering of the
TDEs. We plan to apply the extended model to study phenomena
sensitive to the isospin symmetry.

Pebble probe: Cantwell calls on Justice Department to investigate
Washington Sen. Maria Cantwell with Doug Dixon, general manager of the Pacific Fishermen boatyard in Seattle, at a Pebble Mine rally in 2017. Jerry Fraser photo
Sen. Maria Cantwell (D-Wash.) called for a federal investigation of the testimony and documents submitted by Pebble Partnership CEO Tom Collier and other executives in support of the proposed Pebble Mine in Alaska's Bristol Bay region.
On Tuesday, Sept. 29, Cantwell called for a Justice Department investigation into possible discrepancies between comments made by Collier and Donald Thiessen, president and CEO of Pebble's parent company Northern Dynasty Minerals, on a series of recorded video calls and how they characterized the project's scope and plans in legally binding federal documents, as well as in congressional testimony.
The Pebble Tapes, as they are being called, resulted in Collier's resignation as CEO of the Pebble Partnership.
"The Pebble Tapes make one thing very clear: The Pebble Limited Partnership will stop at nothing to build their disastrous mine, even if it means lying on their permit application, deceiving their investors, or possibly perjuring themselves in front of Congress," said Cantwell in a statement released on Tuesday. "The Department of Justice should investigate what is disclosed in these disturbing Pebble Tapes."
Collier testified at a House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee hearing in October 2019 that "Pebble has no current plans, in this application or in any other way, for expansion."
The tapes, however, "reveal Pebble's apparent plans to use the infrastructure included in its mine plan to open up other expansive [swaths] of western Alaska to mining, including through the activation of the Donlin Mine, a project that already has federal permits and could become economically viable overnight if the Pebble project is approved," said the Environmental Investigation Agency when it released the tapes.
"Bristol Bay is grateful for Sen. Maria Cantwell's call for action. She continues to be a much appreciated champion for our fishery," said Alannah Hurley, executive director of the United Tribes of Bristol Bay.
Hurley testified at the same October 2019 hearing that is now under scrutiny. Collier also submitted written testimony for the hearing.
In response to the Pebble Tapes, Alaska Sens. Lisa Murkowski and Dan Sullivan denied silently acquiescing to the project, as suggested in the recordings. Alaska Gov. Mike Dunleavy said Collier and Thiessen had "embellished their relationships with state and federal officials."
However, none of Alaska's delegation has called for further action in response to the tapes, and neither senator's offices responded to requests for comment by press time.
Cantwell's call for an investigation "makes the inaction of our own Alaskan senators even more notable and disappointing, their words are meaningless without action," Hurley added. "We need them to step up now for Alaskans and act to stop this toxic mine from devastating the Bristol Bay fishery."
This is not the first time Cantwell has called for an investigation into Pebble. In 2013, she requested the Securities and Exchange Commission investigate whether the company misled investors with contradictory statements in company filings. In January 2014, she called on the Obama administration to protect Bristol Bay after a report showed the proposed mine would threaten salmon runs, thereby and damaging the region's commercial, subsistence and recreational fishing. Those protections were drawn down under the Trump administration, which allowed the permitting process to continue.

A: Check this out:
http://jsfiddle.net/aj43psdw/13/
The problem with your code was that using "#" as an href will always take you to the top of the page, no matter what. Also, makes thing hard to control.
What you can do. is work with labels and checkboxes, and control the "state" of things via that.
Like this:
  [name="popup"]{
     width:0;
     height:0;
     overflow:hidden;
     position:relative;
     z-index:-1;
     pointer-events:none;
  }

  [name="popup"]:checked ~ .overlay{
     visibility: visible;
     opacity: 1;
  }

In the fiddle I linked you, clicking the button will check the checkbox, that we'll show via css. the X button will do the same, unchecking it.

A: It was because of href="#" of the anchor tag you were using, which led to going to top of page on closing the popup.
A workaround is to use <input type="checkbox" /> (so that you can use :checked selector) along with (so that you can still interact with checkbox after hiding it), to hide, and unhide the popup.

Sample text for Blaze : a novel / Richard Bachman.
This is a trunk novel, okay? I want you to know that while you've still got your sales slip and before you drip something like gravy or ice cream on it, and thus make it difficult or impossible to return. It's a revised and updated trunk novel, but that doesn't change the basic fact. The Bachman name is on it because it's the last novel from 1966-1973, which was that gentleman's period of greatest productivity.
During those years I was actually two men. It was Stephen King who wrote (and sold) horror stories to raunchy skin-mags like Cavalier and Adam, but it was Bachman who wrote a series of novels that didn't sell to anybody. These included Rage, The Long Walk, Roadwork, and The Running Man. All four were published as paperback originals.
Blaze was the last of those early novels...the fifth quarter, if you like. Or just another well-known writer's trunk novel, if you insist. It was written in late 1972 and early 1973. I thought it was great while I was writing it, and crap when I read it over. My recollection is that I never showed it to a single publisher -- not even Doubleday, where I had made a friend named William G. Thompson. Bill was the guy who would later discover John Grisham, and it was Bill who contracted for the book following Blaze, a twisted but fairly entertaining tale of prom-night in central Maine.
I forgot about Blaze for a few years. Then, after the other early Bachmans had been published, I took it out and looked it over. After reading the first twenty pages or so, I decided my first judgment had been correct, and returned it to purdah. I thought the writing was okay, but the story reminded me of something Oscar Wilde once said. He claimed it was impossible to read "The Little Match Girl" without weeping copious tears of laughter. So Blaze was forgotten, but never really lost. It was only stuffed in some corner of the Fogler Library at the University of Maine with the rest of their Stephen King/Richard Bachman stuff.
Blaze ended up spending the next thirty years in the dark. And then I published a slim paperback original called The Colorado Kid with an imprint called Hard Case Crime. This line of books, the brainchild of a very smart and very cool fellow named Charles Ardai, was dedicated to reviving old "noir" and hardboiled paperback crime novels, and publishing new ones. The Kid was decidedly softboiled, but Charles decided to publish it anyway, with one of those great old paperback covers. The whole project was a blast...except for the slow royalty payments.
About a year later, I thought maybe I'd like to go the Hard Case route again, possibly with something that had a harder edge. My thoughts turned to Blaze for the first time in years, but trailing along behind came that damned Oscar Wilde quote about "The Little Match Girl." The Blaze I remembered wasn't hardboiled noir, but a three-handkerchief weepie. Still, I decided it wouldn't hurt to look. If, that was, the book could even be found. I remembered the carton, and I remembered the squarish type-face (my wife Tabitha's old college typewriter, an impossible-to-kill Olivetti portable), but I had no idea what had become of the manuscript that was supposedly inside the carton. For all I knew, it was gone, baby, gone.
It wasn't. Marsha, one of my two valuable assistants, found it in the Fogler Library. She would not trust me with the original manuscript (I, uh, lose things), but she made a Xerox. I must have been using a next-door-to-dead typewriter ribbon when I composed Blaze, because the copy was barely legible, and the notes in the margins were little more than blurs. Still, I sat down with it and began to read, ready to suffer the pangs of embarrassment only one's younger, smart-assier self can provide.
But I thought it was pretty good -- certainly better than Roadwork, which I had, at the time, considered mainstream American fiction. It just wasn't a noir novel. It was, rather, a stab at the sort of naturalism-with-crime that James M. Cain and Horace McCoy practiced in the thirties. I thought the flashbacks were actually better than the front-story. They reminded me of James T. Farrell's Young Lonigan trilogy and the forgotten (but tasty) Gas-House McGinty. Sure, it was the three Ps in places, but it had been written by a young man (I was twenty-five) who was convinced he was WRITING FOR THE AGES.
I thought Blaze could be re-written and published without too much embarrassment, but it was probably wrong for Hard Case Crime. It was, in a sense, not a crime novel at all. I thought it could be a minor tragedy of the underclass, if the re-writing was ruthless. To that end, I adopted the flat, dry tones which the best noir fiction seems to have, even using a type-font called American Typewriter to remind myself of what I was up to. I worked fast, never looking ahead or back, wanting also to capture the headlong drive of those books (I'm thinking more of Jim Thompson and Richard Stark here than I am of Cain, McCoy, or Farrell). I thought I would do my revisions at the end, with a pencil, rather than editing in the computer, as is now fashionable. If the book was going to be a throwback, I wanted to play into that rather than shying away from it. I also determined to strip all the sentiment I could from the writing itself, wanted the finished book to be as stark as an empty house without even a rug on the floor. My mother would have said "I wanted its bare face hanging out." Only the reader will be able to judge if I succeeded.
If it matters to you (it shouldn't -- hopefully you came for a good story, and hopefully you will get one), any royalties or subsidiary income generated by Blaze will go to The Haven Foundation, which was created to help freelance artists who are down on their luck.
One other thing, I guess, while I've got you by the lapel. I tried to keep the Blaze time-frame as vague as possible, so it wouldn't seem too dated. It was impossible to take out all the dated material, however; keeping some of it was important to the plot. If you think of this story's time-frame as "America, Not All That Long Ago," I think you'll be okay.
Yeah. Yeah, I will say that. Just as long as they're not tears of laughter.


In 1994, TAKAHASHI Yuji gave a series of talks and concerts called "The Body of Musical Instruments" in which he presented methodologies for creating new music. This article was transcribed from a talk given in 1992 with TAKADA Kazuko, Takahashi's shamisen teacher, as moderator.

'9' Duo Tim Burton & Timur Bekmambetov To Produce 'Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter'
By The Movie God | @ | March 3rd, 2010 at 12:33 am
Seth Grahame-Smith has been busy on another book since releasing his popular Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, and it takes the historical figure of President Abraham Lincoln and adds a few vampires. The book is titled Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, and as you may have guessed, a new movie is being developed with none other than Tim Burton and Timur Bekmambetov attached as producers.
Grahame-Smith has been making quite a name for himself with his work taking classic literature and adding horrific spins to them. After Smith wrote Zombies, which of course took Jane Austen's classic Pride and Prejudice and, well…added zombies, a whole new genre in literature has basically been created. Since that title's release, many different authors have written their own takes on classic literature and characters with zombies and aliens and all sorts of fun and nasty beasties.
Click on over to the other side to check out a trailer that was made specially Grand Central Publishing for the release of the new book.

Movie Review: 9
By Henchman21 | @ | September 22nd, 2009 at 7:42 am
Directed by Shane Acker
Starring Elijah Wood, John C. Reilly, Jennifer Connelly, Christopher Plummer, Martin Landau
Studio: Focus Features
Release date: 9/9/09 (clever right?)
I'm a big fan of animation in all its forms, but I'm also an adult, and I want a good story to go along with what I'm watching. That's what I was hoping for when I first started seeing previews for the film 9. It looked like more of an adult action film, which just happened to be done with CG animation. Add in the names Tim Burton, whose done great animation work before with the Nightmare Before Christmas and the Corpse Bride, and Timur Bekmambetov, who directed Wanted as well as two very visually experimental movies in Night Watch and Day Watch, and you've made a movie that I'll want to see. See is the operative word when it comes to 9, because while it is spectacular looking, the rest of my mind could never get into the film.
The story is fairly simple. A creature made out of cloth (voiced by Elijah Wood) wakes up in a strange room, with a mysterious round object. (I'd accuse the filmmakers of ripping off LittleBigPlanet's Sack-boy if I didn't know that the short film this is based on hadn't come out well before the game.) He can't speak and doesn't know anything about what's going on, so he ventures out until he runs across another cloth man, who says his name is 2 (Martin Landau), and sees that the new one has a 9 on his back, so that's what he calls him. 2 is also nice enough to hook 9 up with a voice box so he can speak. Shortly after, 2 is captured by some kind of monster and taken away. 9 is determined to rescue him and sets off to the factory where he saw 2 was taken. Along the way he meets a number of creatures just like him (voiced by John C. Reilly, Christopher Plummer, Jennifer Connelly, and Crispin Glover), and then he ends up almost dooming what remains of life. Then the creatures run around, learning where they come from, why they were created, and how they can save whatever life remains on the Earth.

Video: '9' Mash Ups With 'Nightmare Before Christmas' & 'Wall-E'
By Empress Eve | @ | September 4th, 2009 at 8:25 am
Elijah Wood, the star of the Tim Burton-produced feature film 9, presented to G4's AOTS an exclusive short he put together with producer Timur Bekmambetov (Wanted) from the upcoming CG-animated film. Watch it here below.
There are a few user-generated 9 mash-up videos up on YouTube, two of which I think are clever and worth mentioning (and are embedded here below). One is called "9's Obsession" and features clips from the movie set to the song "Jack's Obsession" from another Burton-produced animated favorite The Nightmare Before Christmas.
In another video, called "Wall-E9 Trailer," someone did a mash-up of 9 dialogue with scenes from fellow animated post-apocalyptic Earth film, Wall-E.
9 follows the story of 9, as he awakens to find a post-apocalyptic world where humans are gone and machines have taken over. He finds another group of beings like himself who are in hiding from the machines and tries to convince them to fight, not hide, and to try to uncover what's motivating the machines to bring about the extinction of humanity.

title: Rule no-use-before-define
layout: doc

<!-- Note: No pull requests accepted for this file. See README.md in the root directory for details. -->
# Disallow Early Use (no-use-before-define)

In JavaScript, prior to ES6, variable and function declarations are hoisted to the top of a scope, so it's possible to use identifiers before their formal declarations in code. This can be confusing and some believe it is best to always declare variables and functions before using them.

In ES6, block-level bindings (`let` and `const`) introduce a "temporal dead zone" where a `ReferenceError` will be thrown with any attempt to access the variable before its declaration.

## Rule Details

This rule will warn when it encounters a reference to an identifier that has not been yet declared.

The following patterns are considered warnings:

```js
alert(a);
var a = 10;

f();
function f() {}

function g() {
    return b;
}
var b = 1;

// With blockBindings: true
{
    alert(c);
    let c = 1;
}
```

The following patterns are not considered warnings:

```js
var a;
a = 10;
alert(a);

function f() {}
f(1);

var b = 1;
function g() {
    return b;
}

// With blockBindings: true
{
    let C;
    c++;
}
```

The rule accepts an additional option that can take the value `"nofunc"`. If this option is active, function declarations are exempted from the rule, so it is allowed to use a function name *before* its declaration.

The following patterns are not considered warnings when `"nofunc"` is specified:

```js
f();

function f() {}
```

## Version

This rule was introduced in ESLint 0.0.9.

About Photography and the Law:
Photography is the process of making pictures by means of the action of light, typically using a camera, either using traditional (film and chemical) or digital processes. Photographs are also called "images," "photos" or "pictures." Copyright law establishes that photographs are intellectual property, and provides copyright owners with limited protections, while encouraging the creation of new works for the benefit of society. For a limited time, photography copyright owners enjoy exclusive legal rights in their photographs and may be entitled to seek remedies such as damages and injunctive relief in the event of a photography copyright infringement. Copyright registration and other factors may affect the extent to which an owner is entitled to seek remedies. The public has certain rights, including the right to fair use of photographs, throughout the copyright life of each photograph. Eventually, photographs enter the public domain, for use by and for the public. Models or subjects pictured in photographs may have the right to control the use of their likenesses under right of publicity laws and right of privacy laws. By signing a model release, a model may grant certain rights allowing the use of the model's likeness in a photograph. Where original photographic film is lost or damaged, the film may be evaluated or appraised, and a value may be estimated, based on a number of factors, including industry standards for liquidated damages, as may be memorialized in photography contracts or agreements between professional photographers and their clients. In the event of a breach of contract, the damaged party may be entitled to remedies. A photography expert can analyze a photograph using forensic methods to determine the circumstances under which the photograph was made, and to reveal details of the photograph not visible to the naked eye. A photography expert may also use photographic equipment to conduct an analysis of a location, accident scene or crime scene, or to create simulations or reenactments. Photography experts can provide consultation and/or testimony or litigation support for attorneys, plaintiffs or defendants in photography litigation.

Academy Awards – Director Snubs
Date: February 25, 2017Author: thepopculturallists 6 Comments
No other awards event is more notorious for its snubs than the Oscars. It's amazing how many premier directors have never won a directing award (and "no", honorary awards don't count). Today we ask the question: "What are the best directors who have never won an Oscar?"
You can't have this discussion without talking about Kubrick, and the argument about his Oscar snubs starts with Spartacus (1960). Rarely does a film get nominated for key technical categories like cinematography and editing and not get a nom for picture and/or director. The Golden Globes gave the film Best Drama and nominated Kubrick. He would nab his first directing nomination for Dr. Strangelove (1964) and went on to get 3 more nominations for 2001, A Clockwork Orange, and Barry Lyndon (all 3 films also got Best Picture Nominations). Like a lot of visionary art, these films may have been initially jarring to some, but over time their impact and brilliance only grew larger. So when Full Metal Jacket was released in 1987, this was the perfect opportunity to bestow on him a long overdue Oscar. You could argue it was not in his top 5 films, but the Academy has a long tradition of giving the award to someone that was glaringly snubbed in the past, and it was egregious not to even nominate him. Unfortunately, in his last 12 years, he only made the controversial Eyes Wide Shut and passed away shortly before it's release in 1999.
Verdict: Kubrick truly changed cinema forever, and every quality director working today will cite him as an influence. Dr.Strangelove and A Clockwork Orange were polarizing films when released, but he should have won for 2001, and, short of that, got the "overdue recognition" award for Full Metal Jacket.
DJ: Totally agree with 2001, it's a film I struggled to like when I was young but I have seen it a few times since, it still looks great, beautifully filmed, just visonary stuff. BTW, I could watch Full Metal Jacket on a loop.
Compared to Kubrick's scant 13 films, Ridley Scott has directed nearly 30 and shows no signs of slowing down. He's been nominated for Best Director 3 times: for Thelma & Louise (1991), Gladiator (2000) and Black Hawk Down (2001), yet he's best known for Alien (1979) and Blade Runner (1982), two seminal works that would make any top 10-15 science fiction film list. Both films highlight the snobbery and short-sighted nature of a good portion of film criticism, which I would assert infects many of the old guard Academy voters. I can still remember the Boston Globe giving Blade Runner 2 stars and writing it off as a joyless genre picture. So what should Scott have won for? Personally, I'd say Thelma and Louise, because it was the year that Silence of the Lambs criminally swept the major categories. Looking back on this, the Academy should be ashamed of themselves. However, the easiest argument could be made for Gladiator (2000). It won Best Picture among another year of mediocre nominees, but yet the Academy gave Best Director to Stephen Soderberg for Traffic. Seriously, who is going back now and watching Traffic? This is where the snobbery and self-righteousness of Hollywood are on full display. Soderberg was a critical darling at the time and rode that sentiment to an undeserved win.
Verdict: While not one of the top Best Picture winners of all time, Gladiator was the best of 2000 and Scott deserved to win for creating a beautiful, lush and entertaining film that was both a throwback and modern epic. Russell Crowe even won for Best Actor – did he direct himself?
DJ: Yeah its definetely Gladiator, and I fully agree that the Academy loves Soderberg, who I personally find overrated. Scott is always trying to do interesting things and should get more credit, maybe its time for an honorary Oscar.
Ok, you think I'm crazy to mention Affleck in the same conversation as Kubrick and Scott? Well, hear me out. First off, forget about Armageddon, Gigli, and the Jennifers, we're talking about him as a director. You can't deny that he came out swinging with his first 3 directing efforts: Gone, Baby, Gone (2007), The Town (2010), and Argo (2012). The first two films were critically praised but were willfully ignored by the Academy, and I can prove this by comparing it to another Boston-set film based on a Dennis Lehane novel, Mystic River (2003). Mystic River was nominated for Best Picture and Director (for Hollywood darling Clint Eastwood), among a number of acting noms. I watched Mystic River again this past month, and it pales in comparison to the grittiness and emotional depth of Affleck's two Boston-set films. Then with Best Picture winner Argo, Affleck proved could make a great film set outside of his hometown, creating a complex and thrilling drama, one that was also funny and thrilling to watch. How many nominated best picture dramas in the past decade can you say you actually enjoyed watching? And yet, the Academy decided Affleck didn't even deserve a nomination for his directing. Finally, go back to any director that you love – Spielberg, Kubrick, Hitchcock, Fincher, etc. and look at their first 3 directing gigs and compare them to Affleck's. While I haven't seen his latest Live By Night, and I know it's been panned, Affleck is off to an amazingly strong start, and at 45 he has the potential for a lot of great films ahead of him.
Verdict: Ben Affleck should have been nominated and won for Argo. That year Spielberg was auto-nominated for the highly overrated Lincoln, Michael Haneke for the unseen Amour (remember that one? Didn't think so), and Ang Lee won for the forgotten Life of Pi.
DJ: Yeah it makes no sense that the film you make gets a Best Picture nomination but you get ignored for Best Director, especially with a film like Argo. Not winning for Argo is unacceptable. If he keeps his head on straight he has one in his future.
I was tempted to go with Charlie Chaplin since he is one of my all-time favorite directors and almost every one of his films is deserving. I made a decision to not include him because he technically won an Oscar for directing The Circus (1929) when a specific category for comedy was an award. So that counts and besides, I still have three top notch selections.
If there was a king of the Oscar snub it would be Alfred Hitchcock. "Hitch" was nominated for Best Director five times, Psycho(1960), Rear Window(1954), Spellbound(1945), Lifeboat(1944), and Rebecca(1940). He was like no other: directors try to copy or parody him (see Brian DePalma, M. Night Shyamalan, and even Mel Brooks) and he has his own adjective "Hitchcockian". His films are beautiful, thrilling, complex and darkly comedic. They are studied in colleges across the globe. Hitchcock made his films for the entertainment value; he is not being political or manipulating a secret agenda. He just wanted to entertain. Scenes from these films are still iconic, the shower scene from Psycho, the crop duster from North By Northwest, the birds from The Birds. It's criminal he was only nominated five times. Where is Notorious (my personal favorite), Vertigo, North By Northwest, Strangers on a Train, or The Birds? These films show up on many "best of" lists. In 1941 Rebecca did win Best Picture but Hitchcock lost the director award to John Ford for Grapes of Wrath. In 1945 Leo McCarey won for Going My Way, and incidentally, Billy Wilder should have won for Double Indemnity. Lifeboat is good but far from Hitchcock's best. Spellbound was also a weaker entry in Hitchcock's oeuvre. Rear Window lost to On the Waterfront and Elia Kazan, and it's hard to argue with that. Hitchcock's last shot was Psycho in 1960 but Billy Wilder won for The Apartment. While others are forgotten about Hitchcock will always be part of the conversation even years after his passing.
Verdict: Looking at the races he lost, I don't see a travesty in any of those, but it's the films that missed receiving a nomination that are the most glaring, especially Notorious and his masterpiece Vertigo. The Oscar nominees in 1959 were a weak field and Vertigo was not among them for Best Picture or Best Director. Gigi won but it should have been Vertigo.
MG: Totally agree that Hitchcock is right there as the biggest snub, especially considering so much of his work was both popular and quality. Often the sign of a good film is that it's hard to categorize, and so many Hitchcock films fit that description (were they a drama, horror, mystery, thriller?), not to mention his penchant for dark humor. The films he was and wasn't nominated for don't make a lot of sense. I'd even argue that Psycho should NOT have been nominated, but North By Northwest should have. You are spot on that Vertigo should have been the one that brought him a trophy.
Sidney Lumet was a very different director than Hitchcock, his films often tackled controversial issues, sensational television news, police corruption, sex change operations. He is known for his "social realism". He was nominated four times for Best Director: 12 Angry Men(1957), Dog Day Afternoon(1975), Network (1976) and The Verdict(1982). His first film, 12 Angry Men, is still a major classic and has some of the best character work of all-time. I came across Sidney Lumet when I was in my "Al Pacino phase" and two of his greatest movies star Pacino: Serpico (1973) and Dog Day Afternoon. He captures the 70's beautifully in these films and they still pop today. He was an actor's director and you can see that in some of their incredible performances. Lumet is very underrated as a director but he created some great films, The Verdict, Q&A, The Pawnbroker, Murder on the Orient Express, Running on Empty and his most relevant film for our current world Network. Talk about a film being ahead of its time, Network shows a television network profiting over Peter Finch's broken down newsman's on-air ravings and the sensationalism of news. It has one of the most famous movie lines of all-time "I am mad as hell and I am not going to take it anymore." Researching this I realized he has a huge body of work, outputting almost one film a year, and there was more of his films I need to see.
Verdict: I love Rocky just like everyone else but Network should have won. No offense to John G. Avildsen I am sure he is a nice guy but he has more Razzie nominations than Oscar nominations.
MG: I like your choice of Lumet, because he's often forgotten about in discussions of great directors. Rocky was a sentimental choice, no doubt. Network is the better film.
Like Ben Affleck, David Fincher is young, alive, and still has opportunities to remove himself from this list. He is also unique from Hitchcock and Lumet, in that he has an Emmy for directing Netflix's House of Cards and a Grammy for his work on music videos. His output has also been alarmingly small (10). He has been nominated only twice for The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (2008) and The Social Network (2010). These are not even his two best films, currently on Rotten Tomatoes the only film of his ranked lower than Benjamin Button is Alien 3. Fincher is able to a create an effective mood in his films that makes you know you are watching a David Fincher production. Seven (1995) is a brilliant movie, but it did not get nominated. The sense of dread is noticeable and the atmosphere he creates is amazing. I remember seeing this in the theater twice and I felt just as unsettled the second time. This film is dark and has gorgeous cinematography and editing which is very evident in the last 15 minutes. If I could give an Oscar straight up it would be for Seven. Mel Gibson won for Braveheart and despite how I feel about him, it was well deserved. Braveheart is very good. The other four directors nominated that year were Mike Figgis, Tim Robbins, Michael Radford, and Chris Noonan. Who? Couldn't Fincher and Seven crack that list?
Verdict: Seven may be my favorite Fincher film and The Game and Zodiac are pretty good too but the movie that should have won him a Best Director Oscar is Fight Club (1999). Not nominated in 2000, American Beauty ended up being the big winner. It's a good film but Fight Club is better, its gritty, raw, and nihilistic. No one talks about The Cider House Rules or The Insider today. The Sixth Sense is on that list too and it's overrated, Fight Club even has a better twist than the Sixth Sense. It should have been nominated and it should have won.
MG: I'm a huge fan of Fincher and love most of his films. Seven should have been nominated, but Fight Club is not a film I've previously thought of as a best picture contender. I still love The Insider, but you make a good case for Fight Club being a better film than what else was nominated last year. The Sixth Sense was a one-trick pony that's now more of a punchline than a revered film. Fight Club it is. Plus it was Meatloaf's best film.

One more reason not to waste a whole evening every year watching the onanistic crapfest that is the annual Academy Awards presentation. It is always overlong, self-congratulatory, and it's not even amusing anymore.
Good lists. I love the inclusion of Affleck & Fincher. I'm not enough of a critical viewer to say which films are "better" than others due to their directing; I just like what I like. I haven't seen one film that's been nominated this year.
Damn, I hate watching the Oscars.
Did you not see Rogue 1?
Oh, is that nominated? Nonetheless…
Zootopia?
Is that nominated for best picture? Or best animated feature? Regardless, my point stands. The Academy Awards are lousy.
Didn't realize you were just talking Best Picture, that wasn't clear.

In Mongolia, Turquoise Hill Acknowledged Administrative Court Proceedings
By Nancy Lyons
On November 19, 2019, in Mongolia, the Turquoise Hill Resources (TRQ) noted all the proceedings of the Administrative Court related to a lawsuit. The proceedings were related to the decision on Oyu Tolgoi Underground Mine Development and Financing Plan (UDP). The Darkhan Mongol Nogoon Negdel NGO (Non-Government Organization) initiated this case to the government of Mongolia.
At the beginning of the case, the Administrative Court has approved all the NGO claims that were not followed by Mongolia's government for settling the UDP. The formal written document will release in the coming weeks.
TRQ is contradicting all the suggestions made for UDP or any foundational OT agreements that are illegal. The underground plan and ARSHA, an investment agreement, has permitted the development of Oyu Tolgoi mine, which has long-term benefits to the people of Mongolia. Further information is yet to be updated.
There are many other statements in the document that are related to some matters that are not at all statements of the company's beliefs and historical data, aims of the developments, etc. All the events and conclusions that will take place in the future are considered to be forward-looking information or statement. According to the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, the forward-looking information is also called as a safe harbor.
Forward-looking statements depend on assumptions and other various factors. If these factors are untrue, then, the actual results of the company or an organization might differ from the future results, performance as well as achievements. There is no surety that the information will be correct and accurate. On such statements, the company deals in the pricing of copper, gold and silver, capital and operating costs, etc.
The ability of Oyu Tolgoi LLC to supply a domestic power source to the Oyu Tolgoi project may affect as it is required to deliver in a contractual time frame by communicating with the stakeholders and community relations and tax assessments. Many other factors, like currency fluctuations, cybersecurity incidents, the requirement of additional funding, the volatility of share price, etc., are also involved in the long-term domestic power supply for the Oyu Tolgoi project. The company tried to consider different factors to get the actual results and not the estimated one due to forward-looking statements.
It is suggested that people should not opt for forward-looking statements as it is risky, and there are fewer chances to get the predicted outcomes. The Risk Factors section in the Annual Information Form of the company differs from the forward-looking statements. The form was dated March 13, 2019, after the discussion in management and analyzing the financial condition as well as operation results till September 30, 2019.

SURREALIST painter Salvador Dali is the latest Spanish icon to become embroiled in a paternity suit.
A woman has filed a suit against the heirs of the artist, requesting her DNA be tested against the painter who died 26 years ago.
The suit was filed with judges in Madrid on March 13, the day after a similar case against King Juan Carlos' was thrown out by the Supreme Court.
The woman, María Pilar, was born on February 1, 1956. She claims her mother, Antonia, had a secret affair with the painter during the 50s after they met in Dali's hometown of Port Lligat, on the Costa Brava.
Pilar's mother had previously requested a DNA test for her daughter after Dali's biographer commented on the resemblance between Pilar and the artist.
After sending him DNA samples, the biographer went quiet and DNA results were never sent to Pilar.
Her lawyer, Francesc Bueno, confirmed that Pilar is filing the suit against the tax office and public administration, as well as the Dali Foundation which acts as Dali's official estate.


This past weekend at the Sundance awards ceremony, filmmaker Ava DuVernay received the illustrious Directing Award for Dramatic feature for her work on "Middle of Nowhere," making history as the first Black female to ever do so. While DuVernay may have been surprised to hear her name announced for the win, the amount of praise she has received for "Middle of Nowhere" and "I Will Follow" indicated that it was only a matter of time before she received her dues. As a director, DuVernay wholeheartedly dedicates herself to creating multidimensional and realistic stories that are relatable to moviegoers of all races.
Appropriately enough, DuVernay understands the difficulties that independent Black films face when gaining access to certain festivals and obtaining distributors for theatrical release. As a result , DuVernay created the African-American Film Releasing Movement (AAFRM) in January 2011 to directly combat these issues. What impact will DuVernay's trailblazing work have on the film industry?

Know Your Options for Final Arrangements
Explore the differences between burial, cremation, and body donation.
When considering final arrangements, most people have 3 options: Anatomical Donation, Burial, or Cremation. Each choice comes with both advantages and disadvantages, and there are many different factors to consider. Cost, family or religious traditions, and personal preference may all affect your ultimate decision.
Anatomical Donation
Many people wish to contribute something positive to the world they will leave behind. Registering to become an organ donor is one way to do this; but when transplant donation isn't an option, whole-body donation can provide an alternative way to give back. While organ transplants offer the satisfaction of a life immediately saved, whole-body donations have the potential to improve the lives of countless individuals through the medical research, education, and training opportunities they provide. And, with whole-body donation, many programs pay all donation related expenses. Whole-body donation doesn't allow for traditional funeral viewing services, but families can arrange to hold a memorial service once the ashes are returned.
Burial Icon
Burial has long been the accepted standard for end of life arrangements in the US. It complies with the funeral customs and traditions of most religious groups, and it provides a physical place for family to visit and remember their loved one. Burial is the most expensive option when it comes to final arrangements. In 2017 a National Funeral Directors Association survey placed the average cost of a traditional burial and funeral at more than $7,000. Burial also has the greatest environmental impact, using large amounts of natural resources such as wood, metal, and land. Embalming chemicals may have an additional negative impact on the environment.
Cremation Icon
Cremation is on the rise in the United States. An estimated 53% of Americans chose this option in 2018, according to the Cremation Association of North America. The growing popularity of cremation has been attributed both to the lower cost and to its increased acceptance among certain religious groups. Families choosing cremation may still elect to hold a memorial ceremony, and they have a wide variety of options of what to do with their loved one's ashes afterward. While cremation has been gaining in popularity for several decades, a few religions still discourage the practice, and some families continue to prefer the traditions attached to a standard burial.

'Moulin Rouge!' Is Finally Set To Hit The Stage...
'Moulin Rouge!' Is Finally Set To Hit The Stage For Real
By Holly Williams in Movies / TV / Theatre on 02 September 2016
Follow Baz Luhrmann
Because it 'can can can'.
Finally, Baz Luhrmann's vibrant musical romance 'Moulin Rouge!' is set to hit the stage for the first time. It's been a long time coming - the film came out in 2001 - but it's finally getting the theatrical debut it has long-deserved, courtesy of John Logan and Alex Timbers.
Baz Luhrmann's musical film to be adapted to the theatre
The movie, which starred Nicole Kidman, Ewan McGregor and Jim Broadbent, is set in Paris at the turn of the 20th century where a dejected writer named Christian struggles to find inspiration for his work. But soon he meets a group of flamboyant Bohemians who introduces him to Paris' underworld and the Moulin Rouge nightclub where courtesans dance in cabaret shows. A hilarious misunderstanding leads Christian, his new friends and the star of the Moulin Rouge Satine to hastily make up a stage show to be performed for the Duke in exchange for funding. Soon though, Christian and Satine begin to fall deeply in love which puts the club at risk when the jealous Duke founds out. Little do they all know that tragedy is soon to befall them.
'Moulin Rouge!' is famous for the medleys of classic hits with adapted lyrics like the 'Lady Marmalade/Smells Like Teen Spirit' performance from Zidler's Diamond Dogs, and the 'Elephant Love Medley' featuring snippets of the Beatles' 'Love Is All You Need', 'I Was Made For Lovin' You' by KISS, The Communards' 'Don't Leave Me This Way', 'Silly Love Songs' by Paul McCartney, David Bowie's 'Heroes' and more.
More: Read our review of Baz Luhrmann's last movie 'The Great Gatsby'
The main songs are 'Spectacular, Spectacular' (to the tune of 'Can Can' by Offenbach) and 'Come What May' which was originally written for Luhrmann's other film 'Romeo + Juliet'. There's also a version of Elton John's 'Your Song', which was later covered by John Barrowman.
The film is being adapted by writer John Logan ('Skyfall', 'Gladiator') and Broadway director Alex Timbers ('Peter and the Starcatcher', 'Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson'). 'It's immensely gratifying to know that a new wave of artists will be leading Moulin Rouge! into its rightful theatrical realm', Luhrmann told Variety.

How food and drink companies can taste success in Japan
février 4, 2019 février 4, 2019
Before launching headlong into the Japanese market, it's important for food and drink companies to realise one incontrovertible fact: the Japanese consumer is unique.
Looking at its sizeable middle class with plenty of disposable income, exporters see Japan as one of the most exciting markets in the world. But if businesses with an international mindset are to make their mark on this 128-million-strong consumer base, they must first seek to gain its confidence.
According to the Edelman Trust Barometer (2017), a measure designed to calculate how much trust consumers place in their national institutions, Japan was among the least trusting countries on earth. Unwilling to take anything at face value, Japanese consumers are likely to conduct online research on a company before buying anything from them.
As a result of this phenomenon, the emphasis is on food and drink companies to translate their online marketing material and website(s). Provided with translated testimonials, potential customers are more likely to feel confident in a brand.
Like the iconic Japanese shopkeeper's greeting "Irasshaimase!" (Come on in!"), company advertisements must speak, quite literally, to the Japanese consumer. While being an open and culturally diverse nation, Japan's population remains predominantly monolingual. With this in mind, it's clear that food and drink companies will need to prioritise the translation of online materials and social media if they're to spark engagement online as well as off.
"But how can they maximise reach?" Simple: the best approach exporters can take is to invest in a professional localisation service. Cutting corners and costs with low-quality localisation will make it tremendously difficult to build consumer trust, establish a positive brand image and will, therefore, damage medium to long term prospects.
As well as appropriate investment, enough time must be allocated for translators to work their magic in a language which is forever evolving. Japanese is a highly subjective language, with language styles often generation-specific.
What's more, with there being no central control for language standards related to spelling and transliteration, it's hugely important to have native translators on the ground, operating in the region where you wish to sell your produce.
Making your mark in Japan
The Wolfestone Group is a Swansea-based, multi-award-winning language service provider which offers everything from translation to localisation, interpreting to language training, voice overs to subtitles. Everything we do is done with one goal in mind: customer satisfaction. Whether you're a big multinational or an SME operating in the food and drink industry, our expert team will devise a tailor-made solution to help grow your business abroad.

Calling all yoga enthusiasts or those thinking about trying yoga! Certified Yoga Therapist and 30Seconds contributor, Nicole DeAvilla, is a published researcher on yoga and the bestselling author of "The 2 Minute Yoga Solution: Fast and Easy Stress and Back Pain Relief for Anyone at Anytime." Nicole attends the Symposium on Yoga Research (SYR) every year and knows the scientists and researchers who investigate how yoga works, what yoga works and the benefits of yoga from a medical point of view. Nicole joined us to share the most recent information about yoga and how it can help you!
Q: What is the Symposium of Yoga Research?
The Symposium of Yoga Research (SYR) is the premier international scientific conference devoted solely to yoga research. It is an annual conference put on by the International Association of Yoga Therapists. It is the brainchild of Sat Bir Singh Khalsa, a yoga researcher and professor at Harvard Medical School, Brigham & Women's Hospital.
At the SYR, scientists from top research institutions around the world gather at Kripalu Center, a yoga retreat and training center, to present the latest research and developments in yoga research.
Q: How did you get involved in the world of yoga research?
Growing up I didn't even know about yoga. But I did know that I wanted to do scientific research. Back then I was more interested in learning about and studying animals. By the time I graduated from college I had incurred a lot of sports and active life injuries. They really caught up with me when I landed a desk job. I was in a lot of pain! I turned to yoga for relief, taking the Ananda Yoga teacher training back in 1984. It changed my life! It gave me a therapeutic approach to yoga. Now I am faculty on the Ananda Yoga therapist training program.
My first co-author scientific paper was published in 1993. I was working as a research assistant at the Center for Sports Medicine at St. Francis Hospital in San Francisco, Injuries in Recreational Adult Fitness Activities. I was one of the early members of the International Association of Yoga Therapists and have served on many committees over the years. I published my first solo research paper in the International Journal of Yoga Therapy.
Q: So, we can't wait to hear, what is the latest in yoga research that you discovered at the Symposium of Yoga Research?
It would truly take all night for me to share everything! I will do my best to share the most relevant and interesting work that I think our 30Seconds tribe will be happy to learn about!
There's several of studies of yoga in schools, showing yoga helped improved teenagers sleep, children with emotions and attention challenges, college students' well-being and studies on yoga for kids with disabilities There even was a study on yoga for teachers!
There were several studies of yoga benefits for veterans, Parkinson's disease, eating disorders, self-esteem and mood, cancer, mental health and more!
A shout out to fellow 30Seconds tribe member, Debbie Howard, who is writing a book about caregiving, including how yoga helps. You have scientific research to back you up now! More than one study was presented at SYR.
Many studies looked at fatigue caused by a variety of issues. Yoga helps! One finding for fatigue was that you need to start with gentle, more restorative yoga first to relax and help the body build up to more active yoga. Some patients reported feeling more energy after just one session!
Q: What about yoga for low-back pain? Any news there?
There was a lot of yoga for low-back pain research presented at the conference. Dr. Karen Sherman presented again this year. Dr. Sherman conducted the first large NIH funded study on the effect of yoga therapy on low-back pain that got yoga therapy on the map in the Western healthcare system.
A great development was a recent review of the scientific literature on yoga and low-back pain which led to the American College of Physicians recommendations saying yoga is one of the first lines of treatments for low-back pain. Most studies are for non-specific low-back pain. Though in clinical situations we are also finding if you have a well-trained yoga therapist, other back pain conditions can be helped. Be sure you have a C-IAYT yoga therapist!
Dealing with low-back pain is one of the topics I teach yoga therapy students. I am faculty on the Ananda Yoga Therapists Training Program, a professional accredited program in northern California.
Q: When they study yoga, what aspects of yoga are they looking at? I usually think of yoga as the postures, but I know there is more to yoga than the physical!
Great question! They study all kinds of yoga and yoga practices. That means the yoga postures, breathing practices, meditation, mudras, chanting, mantras and yoga philosophy. Some time the researchers will look at just a single aspect of yoga, or a few different aspects or all of them. There is so much to yoga!
One of the reasons I believe that yoga is so effective for so many conditions is because of the complexity and diversity of yoga. One study compared the effects on the brain of long-time yoga practitioners with long time meditators. Both groups showed positive findings. Many changes in the brain were the same and several findings were different. I suggest you do both yoga and meditation and get ALL of the benefits – I do!
One study just looked at pranayama, breathing exercises and they measured levels of hormones. Just the yoga breathing practice alone showed support for reducing stress, boosting the immune system and cardiovascular system.
Q: All of this yoga research news makes me want to do some yoga right now! Can you give us something simple to do right now?
Sure! Stand up right now wherever you are! Take three deep breaths. Do only what's comfortable. Lift your arms over head, clasp hands and stretch to one side for a few seconds, breathing deeply. Then the other side. Affirm "Strength and Courage fill my body cells!" How do you feel now?
Try this one for helping you wake up with yoga breathing in the morning.
This yoga breathing technique will help you fall asleep at night.
Here is a simple chair yoga practice for when you are feeling anxious or stressed.
These yoga moves will help you when you are feeling tired and need to move!
Q: This is amazing news. Can we get these therapeutic benefits by going down to our local Y yoga class or yoga studio?
Another great question! Maybe, but probably not. For some people, in some situations a general yoga class, appropriate for their experience level and fitness to practice with a quality yoga teacher, they will find the local class will work for them, however they might get worse. For many issues being researched, you will need a certified yoga therapist. Yoga therapists are required to have significantly more training. They train for more hours and focus on learning medical conditions and interventions.
The International Association of Yoga Therapists certifies yoga therapists. In fact, I was on the first committee that accredited the schools that train yoga therapists. C-IAYT yoga therapists are well trained and mentored. To learn more and to find a yoga therapist near you, go to the International Association of Yoga Therapists' website. Get more information about the International Association of Yoga Therapists and the Symposium of Yoga Research.
Q: Wow! This is exciting news about yoga. How can our tribe get some more 2 Minute Yoga practices and keep up with the you and the latest news in yoga?
Follow me on your favorite social media platform – Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Pinterest and LinkedIn.
Join me on retreat or for a training at the Expanding Light Yoga and Meditation Retreat.
And the best way is to join the The 2 Minute Yoga Stress Free Zone on Facebook group. I answer questions, provide practices and inspiration and you will find some 30Seconds tribe members already there!
I always come back from these events so excited about the possibilities we have for healing! I cant wait to share!
Yay Nicole DeAvilla! Can't wait to hear what you have to share with us. We all could use some yoga everyday.
I am so looking forward to this chat! The 30Seconds summit and my first yoga experience with Elisa All Schmitz 30Seconds, Donna John , Ann Marie Gardinier Halstead, and Mary Aulbach has sparked an interest in yoga for me!
The conference is just getting going and there is so much to share! Yoga for military, cancer patients, school children, eating disorders, heart health, pain, balance issues, care givers, chronic fatigue, brain health and more! It's going to be hard to choose what to highlight in the chat!
I want to thank my friend and colleague Steph Ritz of Voice Your Passions for the both the fun and more serious photos.
I'm so excited Nicole DeAvilla! Please share some info about yoga in schools tomorrow and fatigue!
Can't wait for tonight! I'll be a little late. Class I'm in gets out at 9PM. Nicole DeAvilla, might need some tips for stiff hip flexors.
Just now saw this! Ask in the 2 Minute Yoga Stress Free Zone on FB.
Cannot wait to join in!
This is fascinating. I am doing the Breath 4 Change training in NY this spring, so that I can more better serve my tiny and not so tiny students in mindfulness in their mental and physical realms.
Thank you for the the work that you do!

The following information has been taken directly from the New National Curriculum.
· become fluent in the fundamentals of mathematics, including through varied and frequent practice with increasingly complex problems over time, so that pupils have conceptual understanding and are able to recall and apply their knowledge rapidly and accurately to problems.
· reason mathematically by following a line of enquiry, conjecturing relationships and generalisations, and developing an argument, justification or proof using mathematical language.
· can solve problems by applying their mathematics to a variety of routine and non-routine problems with increasing sophistication, including breaking down problems into a series of simpler steps and persevering in seeking solutions.
Below is the way we run Maths at Northwood. To become a master at an objective the student must be able to apply the objective to all other areas of the Maths curriculum. For example in Year 6 if a child wants to master the objective of multiyplying four digits by two digits they must be able to do the computation of it and also use and apply this method through measures, geometry, statistics, fractions, decimals, percentages and number. This is how the rainbow system works. You must be able to solve that concept in every colour of the rainbow.
For more information about the expectations in each year level, see the Northwood Calculation Policy below.
