Birmingham Council cuts
Birmingham Council in economic crisis
Birmingham City Council is in a deep economic crisis and is seeking to heap this onto the backs of workers whilst cutting services provided for public health, including those which keep our streets clean and free of disease.
Birmingham City Council was once the single biggest local authority in Europe, but a workforce of 20,000 has been slashed in half and the plans which are being implemented by Labour Councillors seek to reduce this number to 7,000 by 2018. They blame it on the Tories but they ALL play the same game, its called capitalism, where the rich get richer and the poor get poorer.
And the Birmingham anti-cuts movement does very little about it. Headed by Labourites and Trots they're too busy infiltrating Momentum or sitting on various committees of one form or another. They particularly love talking to one another at the Trades Council. And the Communist Party of Britain doesn't have time to organise public opinion or workers against the cuts, they have a grand election campaign to run for Mayor of the West Midlands. Despite its small size, the Communist Party of Great Britain (Marxist-Leninist) in Birmingham is the only political organisation which can be seen three or four times a week in various parts of the town undertaking political work amongst the working class.

Bin men under attack – again
Refuse workers are vital to society; they do a job most people don't want to do. Just because they work with rubbish they shouldn't be treated like rubbish. In meetings held in March with Council refuse workers it was announced that Bin men are expected to take a £3,000 per annum pay cut and work an increase from four to five working days a week. Crews on wagons are to be reduced, as is the ratio of leading hands which risks putting the public at risk from fatal collisions on busy streets. This news has not gone down well with all the yards in Birmingham, and the more class conscious workers will be calling on workers to strike at the mass meeting in April.
Bin men and others who turn out on strike will need to come out determined to win. The bin men must be urged to find creative ways to ensure lorries do not leave depots, that tyres are bereft of air, that wagons have ignitions but no keys, that entrances and exits are barricades and scabs run a gauntlet from the Agency office to the depot. The public can help! Any wagon that makes it out must be prevented from completing its work and pressure must be piled upon the Council from the rate payers, who can take their rubbish and heap it upon the steps of the Council House for Labour Party leader Clancy and his gang to clean up, better still take the rubbish to the neighbourhood offices of the local Labour Party.
The movement against cuts
Too many people in this country are waiting for all the cuts to magically come to an end and a return to things as they were but capitalism is in systemic crisis no recovery is possible.
Whether it's in relation to the privatisation of the NHS, an end to foreign wars of aggression or the seven year long freeze on public sector pay it's time for British workers to draw a few simple conclusions from all too apparent observations:
Labour or Tory – it's the same old story
Capitalism means crisis, racism and war
Its class against class – fight for socialism!

\section{introduction}Boltzmann developed statistical mechanics to explain
thermodynamics on a microscopic and mechanical basis. To that purpose, he
introduced the microcanonical ensemble of all realizations of a given
many-body system under the few macroscopic constraints of particle number
$N$, energy $E$ and its external volume $V$. The number of cells, with size
$(2\pi\hbar)^{3N}$, in the $6N$-dim phase space of such systems is
$W(E,N,V)$. Then he identified the thermodynamic entropy by the famous
formula which written on his tomb-stone:
\begin{equation} \fbox{\fbox{\vecbm{S=k*lnW}}}\label{boltzmann0}
\end{equation}
The physical meaning of this formula is: The entropy measures the amount of
our microscopic ignorance of the considered many-body system. If we would
have a complete knowledge, if we would know the positions and the momenta
of all particles at time $t$ (within quantum-mechanical uncertainty). $W$
would be a single cell in the $6N$-dim. phase space of size
$(2\pi\hbar)^{3N}$ and $S$ would be zero.

If our system is {\em homogeneous} (in a single phase) then the three
fundamental ensembles of statistical mechanics, the grand-canonical and the
canonical are equivalent to the microcanonical one in the thermodynamic
limit $N\Rightarrow\infty|_{\rho=N/V=const}$.

{\em Otherwise, however, they are not equivalent}. As only the above
equivalence of the ensembles guarantees the physical meaning of the
(canonical) ensembles, these have no physical justifications whenever the
equivalence is not given.

To apply statistical mechanics to such inhomogeneous systems like small
systems, or systems, even macroscopic, at phase separation, or very large
self-gravitating systems the following considerations must be taken
seriously.
\section{Macroscopic systems in Chemistry}
Microcanonical Boltzmann-Planck statistics is the basic of any
statistical mechanics, see e.g. Landau-Lifshitz \cite{landau96},
even Guggenheim defines statistical mechanics starting from the
microcanonical ensemble (\cite{guggenheim67}, chapter 2), see also
my paper http://arxiv.org/abs/cond-mat/0411408 v3.

Systems studied in chemical thermodynamics consist of several {\em
homogeneous macroscopic} phases $\alpha_1,\alpha_2,\cdots$
cf.\cite{guggenheim67}. Their mutual equilibrium must be explicitly
constructed from outside.

Each of these phases are assumed to be macroscopic (in the "thermodynamic
limit" ($N_\alpha\to\infty|_{\rho_\alpha=const}$)). There is no common
canonical ensemble for the entire system of the coexisting phases. Only the
canonical ensemble of {\em each} phase {\em separately} becomes equivalent
in the limit to its microcanonical counterpart.

The canonical partition sum of {\em each} phase $\alpha$ is defined as the
Laplace transform of the underlying  microcanonical sum of states
$W(E)_\alpha=e^{S_\alpha(E)}$ \cite{gross147,gross158}
\begin{equation}
Z_\alpha(T)= \int_0^\infty e^{S_\alpha(E)-E/T_\alpha} dE.
\end{equation}
The mean canonical energy is
\begin{eqnarray}
 <E_\alpha(T_\alpha)>&=&-\; \partial \ln Z_\alpha(T_\alpha)/\partial \beta_\alpha.\\
 \beta_\alpha&=&\frac{1}{T_\alpha}.\nonumber\\ \nonumber
\end{eqnarray}
In chemical situations proper the assumption of macroscopic
individual phases is of course acceptable. In the thermodynamic
limit ($N_\alpha\to\infty|_{\rho_\alpha=const}$) of a {\em
homogeneous} phase $\alpha$, the canonical energy
$<E_\alpha(T_\alpha)>$ becomes identical to the  microcanonical
energy $E_\alpha$ when the temperature is determined by
\begin{eqnarray}
T_\alpha^{-1}=\beta_\alpha&=&\left.\frac{\partial
S_\alpha(E,V_\alpha)}{\partial E}\right|_{E_\alpha}.\\ \nonumber
\end{eqnarray}
The relative width of the canonical energy is
\begin{equation}
\Delta
E_\alpha=\frac{\sqrt{<E_\alpha^2>-<E_\alpha>^2}}{<E_\alpha>}\propto
\frac{1}{\sqrt{N_\alpha}}.
\end{equation}
The heat capacity at constant volume is (care must be taken about
the constraints (!))
\begin{eqnarray}
C_\alpha|_{V_\alpha}&=&\frac{\partial
<E_\alpha(T_\alpha,V_\alpha)>}{\partial T_\alpha}\\ \nonumber\\
&=&\frac{<E_\alpha^2>-<E_\alpha>^2}{T_\alpha^2}\ge 0.\label{specheat}
\end{eqnarray}

Only in the thermodynamic limit ($N_\alpha\to\infty|_{\rho_\alpha=const}$)
does the energy uncertainty $\Delta E_\alpha\rightarrow 0$, and the
canonical and the microcanonical ensembles become equivalent. {\em I do not
know of any microscopic foundation of the canonical ensemble apart from the
limit.}

The positiveness of any canonical $C_V(T)$ or $C_P(T)$ is of
course the reason why the inhomogeneous system of several
coexisting phases ($\alpha_1 \& \alpha_2$) with an overall {\em
negative} heat capacity cannot be described by a {\em single
common} canonical distribution \cite{gross159,gross174}.
\section{Application to nuclear fragmentation}
Now, certainly, neither the phase of the whole multi-fragmented nucleus nor
the individual fragments themselves can be considered as macroscopic
homogeneous phases in the sense of chemical thermodynamics (CTh).
Consequently, (CTh) cannot and should not be applied to fragmenting nuclei
and the microcanonical description is ultimately demanded. This becomes
explicitly clear by the fact that the configurations of a multi-fragmented
nucleus have a {\em negative} heat capacity at constant volume $C_V$ and
also at constant pressure $C_P$ (if at all a pressure can be associated to
nuclear fragmentation \cite{gross174}).

However, there is a deep and fascinating aspect of {\em nuclear}
fragmentation:  First, in nuclear fragmentation we can measure the whole
statistical {\em distribution} of the ensemble event by event. Not only
their mean values are of physical interest. {\em Statistical Mechanics can
be explored from its first microscopic and mechanical principles in any
detail well away from the thermodynamic limit}. This give us an immediate
insight how statistical mechanics works. We can {\em measure} the entire
distribution also if they are not sharply Gaussian. No exotic non-extensive
statistics like Tsallis statistics \cite{tsallis88,tsallis99} is demanded
for equilibrized non-extensive systems. The "Sancta sanctorum of
statistical mechanics" i.e. the microcanonical Boltzmann-Planck statistics
covers all equilibrium systems \cite{gross203}.

Second, and this may be more important: For the first time phase
transitions to non-homogeneous phases can be studied where these phases are
within themselves composed out of several nuclei. This situation is very
much analogous to multi star systems like rotating double stars during
intermediate times, where nuclear burning prevents their final implosion.
The occurrence of negative heat capacities is an old well known peculiarity
of the statistics of self-gravitating systems \cite{thirring70}. Also these
cannot be described by a canonical ensemble. It was shown in
\cite{gross207,gross203} how the {\em microcanonical} phase space of these
self-gravitating systems has all the realistic configurations which are
observed, more details in my WEB-page http://www.hmi.de/people/gross/. Of
course, the question whether these systems are interim equilibrized or not
is not proven by this observation though it is rather likely.

GENEVA, Switzerland, November 7, 2014/African Press Organization (APO)/ — A new WHO protocol for safe and dignified burial of people who die from Ebola virus disease emphasizes inclusion of family members and encouraging religious rites as an essential part of safe burials.
"We are becoming known for 'dead body management', but we do not 'manage' dead bodies. We safely, respectfully and in a dignified manner, accompany our deceased fellow human beings and help to prepare them, in accordance with their cultures, for their last resting places. It is in this spirit that our volunteers carry out their difficult work" says Elhadj As Sy, Secretary General, IFRC.
A team of medical anthropologists also contributed meaningful, safe alternatives for touching and bathing dead bodies, developed from research into the cultural significance and values of burial practices in affected countries. The research included consultations with religious leaders in affected countries to define what is meant by "dignified burial" in both the Muslim and Christian context.

Manafort intended for polling data to go to 2 Ukrainian oligarchs who owed him millions
Serhiy Lyovochkin and Rinat Akhmetov, two Ukrainian oligarchs who had paid Paul Manafort for years for his political work in their country, were the intended recipients of the American polling data
Serhiy Lyovochkin and Rinat Akhmetov, two Ukrainian oligarchs who had paid Paul Manafort for years for his political work in their country, were the intended recipients of the American polling data that Manafort shared with Konstantin Kilimnik during the 2016 presidential campaign, a person familiar with the matter said on Wednesday.
Special counsel Robert Mueller's team has been circling Lyovochkin and Akhmetov's dealings with Manafort for a while, as they were both key, generous backers of Manafort's Ukrainian lobbying work, prosecutors said at Manafort's financial fraud trial last summer.
The Justice Department initially asked Mueller to look into the pro-Russian Ukrainians' ties to Manafort, a former Trump campaign chairman, because of how they may relate to other allegations of Russian coordination with the Trump campaign.
The sharing of the polling data with Kilimnik was revealed this week, despite being redacted in a court filing, due to a formatting error.
Manafort earned millions from his Ukrainian political work over several years. That included wire transfers from Akhmetov and Lyovochkin through offshore bank accounts, prosecutors said at trial.
The revenue appeared to dry up by 2015. However, Manafort wrote in one August 2016 email to his accountant that he expected a payment of $2.4 million in November 2016 for work he did in Ukraine, according to trial documents.
A spokesman for Manafort confirmed Wednesday that Manafort expected to receive the $2.4 million in income from his Ukrainian political backers, including Lyovochkin and Akhmetov. But the money was meant to reimburse old debts that predated the Trump campaign, spokesman Jason Maloni added, and it was not a quid pro quo for the polling data.
Still, the developments of Manafort's court filing Tuesday and the assertions Wednesday about the oligarchs confirm that Manafort had an interest in pocketing cash from a foreign country while he led Donald Trump's campaign. Previously, investigators noted the debts between Manafort and foreign businessmen in their effort to obtain search warrants for the Russia investigation.
Akhmetov is one of the richest men in Ukraine and bankrolled the Party of Regions, a Ukrainian political party aligned with Moscow that Manafort worked to bolster. Akhmetov reportedly introduced Manafort to the party's leader, Viktor Yanukovych, and they embarked on a decade-long partnership that saw Yanukovych win the presidency and major victories at the polls. Manafort earned $60 million for his work in Ukraine, and was convicted last year of financial fraud after hiding the money overseas to avoid paying US taxes.
Some of the money came from Akhmetov through wire transfers between hidden bank accounts in Cyprus, Manafort's deputy Rick Gates testified in court.
Another witness, testifying against Manafort under oath, said Manafort and Akhmetov "knew each other well."
Lyovochkin was a senior official in Yanukovych's administration, and secretly funneled millions of dollars to Manafort for his political consulting, according to testimony from Manafort's trial.Lyovochkin survived the 2014 revolution that ousted Yanukovych, rebranding himself an opposition leader in the Ukrainian Parliament. He was implicated by federal prosecutors in a criminal scheme to steer foreign money to Trump's inauguration committee, though he wasn't mentioned by name in any of the court filings.

Babies are expensive. The nappies, the visits to the doctor, the special baby food and formula - it all adds up. We want you to be as prepared as possible when your little bundle of joy arrives.
When preparing for a new baby, it's important that you budget. A budget sets an outline for your finances and ensures you're not spending money on unnecessary things. With nine months to get everything set for your baby's arrival, you can get some great savings in place.
1. Don't go baby crazy and buy everything all at once! It'll cost you a small fortune, and you will most likely buy things that aren't essential. Only buy what your baby will need in the first few months. For instance, nappies are a good buy as you're always going to use them. For the first few months, your little one can sleep in a cradle or bassinet. This saves you having to spend money on a cot. Once you have saved a little more, and your baby is older, then look into buying one.
2. It's always best to buy in bulk! It's cheaper, and so your money goes further. Be sure to buy nappies in bulk. You are definitely going to need a lot of them! Buying nappies online can often be a cheaper alternative.
3. Breast milk over formula! Breast milk is extremely cost effective, for the simple reason that breast milk is free. In most cases, it's healthier for your baby too.
4. Making your own baby food is best for budgeting. It's cheaper to buy fresh fruit and veggies and blend them in a food processor or with a handheld blender. The best part is you can freeze into individual portions, using small glass jars or even ice trays, which makes food preparation easier for you! Buying baby food at the store will always be more expensive.
5. One of the best tips we can offer you is to borrow! Borrowed is best. Chat to friends and family who have had kids and see what they can lend you. Most people are more than happy to pass on old clothes and toys their baby has outgrown.
6. When you do have to spend money, be sure you're spending it on the most important items, like car seats. We know those tiny baby sneakers are adorable, but if you're on a budget, don't be tempted! Your baby will outgrow them in a flash, and it'll be a waste of money. The same applies to branded items. Your baby is too young to know they're wearing the hippest, coolest brands. If you're having a baby shower, wait until afterwards to purchase key items, as you may receive a lot of the essential items as gifts. If you're putting together a gift registry, take a friend or family member who is already a parent along with you – they will be able to give you handy advice on what is essential and what isn't.
7. Don't be afraid to shop second hand. Car seats, cribs, cots and prams are much cheaper. If they're in good condition, there's nothing wrong with second-hand goods. Your baby won't hold it against you if he/she isn't cruising around in the newest pram or sleeping in a brand new crib. There are a lot of online sites and Facebook groups that offer second hand, so browse the internet before the stores.
8. When buying baby clothes and toys, stick to neutral colours. This way you can reuse them for your next child, boy or girl. You won't be stuck with an entire pink wardrobe that you can't reuse for your second child, a baby boy!
Babies are expensive. The nappies, visits to the doctor, the special baby food and formula all adds up.


Education is not only found in educational institutions. A major roll is also played by informal learning. Not merely to be assigned to a residual category, indeed it has individual qualities of its own with respect to possible locations, times, learning groups, role allocation, processes, motivation and results and also the establishment of particular action relationships and requirement situations. This is illustrated by examples from the neighbourhood project "Socially Integrative City" and from a pilot project of the national urban development policy. Informal learning relies on as wide a variety of learning locations and education opportunities as possible. Urban conditions play a major role in this, especially an organised small-scale variety of usage in the neighbourhood, which should also include a local embedded economy. Measured against the objective - access for all to diverse and also informal educational opportunities - a substantial need for discussion, development and research still persists.
Steffen, Gabriele (2010), 'Informal Learning Opportunities in Neighbourhoods'. Published in Information on Spatial Development (IzR) 2/3.2010, specialist journal, labour and social spatial orientation, published by the Federal Office for Building and Regional Planning, pages 129-141.


Hi everyone! You are probably wondering what is up, because I am posting a random post at an abnormal time! I have noticed a lot of people talking about feeling frustrated that bloggers don't respond to their comments and the like. Well, this talk made me think that I should share something with you, because I only realized this a month or so ago.
If you have a Blogger blog and use the Blogger commenting system, your readers may not be getting your comments. Is this blowing your mind, because it blew my mind when I read an article about how to respond to comments on a Blogger blog. If you have a blogger blog and use the blogging system, you should go read that article. Seriously. After reading the article, I tested this, and I realized that the article was correct. I was horrified that I spent so much time responding to comments, and no one was probably reading them! I mean I only read comments, if I get an email about a comment response.
It was for this reason that I switched commenting systems. Even if you are not very Internet savvy, it is really each to switch systems. Disqus and IntenseDebate are both free. There are other systems too, but these two are the biggest systems out there. I first tried Disqus, and I loved it. The system was really clean and sharp. Plus, Disqus will email people when you respond to their comments. On my control panel, I was able to see stats regarding the number of comments I got. It was great.

YouTube Going through a New Makeover
John Colston February 21, 2014 6:43 pm January 1, 2017 0 634
New changes could be spotted on YouTube today, as the famous website seems to be going through a new makeover process.
YouTube first announced its intention to make certain design changes to the site in January. It seems that the company is now focusing on making videos and playlists easier to handle. As the changes have already been made, YouTube announced the new features of the site in a blog post.
YouTube users who access a video will immediately notice the change. On-screen objects are now centered, while users are encouraged to save playlists, which are very simple to access on the sidebar. The changes are not very big, but they confer a nicer look to the YouTube page.
The cleaner website design that characterizes YouTube now is actually meant to emphasize user-created playlists. Moreover, what YouTube is willing to do is to boost the time that people spend on the site.
YouTube is trying to make the site more user friendly and more similar to mobile apps. The use of YouTube on mobile devices has grown amazingly in the past few years, so there is no wonder that the company is considering making its page more similar to the apps that people spent a lot of time on.
Managing playlists easier is still the main purpose of the makeover that YouTube has been through. The Playlists pane will now show your personal playlists, but also the ones from other channels that you have liked.
The guide button, located next to the YouTube logo at the top left of the corner of the screen, allows users to still view the sidebar menu, playlists and subscriptions. It becomes much easier to discover playlists and check out channel pages.
The changes were first revealed on Wednesday and over the next few days all users are going to see them. Some new changes were expected after Susan Wojcicki became the chief of YouTube and it seems that they were just released.
The mini-makeover that YouTube received now seems to have been quite appreciated. Naturally, as their YouTube page updates, users will get a message once opening the page that will offer them the possibility to be guided through all the changes that have been made.

Luca Valerio
Naples, Kingdom of Naples (now Italy)
Rome, Papal States (now Italy)
Luca Valerio was an Italian mathematician who applied methods of Archimedes to find volumes and centres of gravity of solid bodies. He corresponded with Galileo.
Luca Valerio (or Valeri as the name is sometimes written) was born in Naples. His father was Giovanni Valeri who came from Ferrara, and his mother was Giovanna Rodomano who was of Greek extraction. In fact Luca was brought up in Greece, to be precise on the island of Corfu where his mother's family were members of the nobility. However, for his education he returned to Italy and studied at the Collegio Romano in Rome. His interests were in philosophy and theology but the subject he loved most was mathematics. He had one of the leading mathematicians of the day as a teacher, namely Christopher Clavius. When we say that Clavius was a leading mathematician we should stress that he produced little original mathematics but was a gifted teacher and writer of textbooks. His skill as a teacher was amply repaid by the remarkable mathematical achievements of his pupil Valerio who remained at Collegio Romano after taking his first degree and was awarded a doctorate in philosophy and theology.
After taking his doctorate, Valerio continued to live in Rome teaching both private pupils and having public teaching appointments. At first he taught rhetoric and Greek at the Collegio Greco. On a visit to Pisa in 1590 he met Galileo but it was not until around twenty years later that they entered into a correspondence. After his return to Rome he began teaching rhetoric and philosophy at the University of Sapienza. Sapienza was the name of the building which the University of Rome occupied at this time and it gave its name to the University. From about 1600 Valerio, still at Sapienza, began to teach mathematics which he continued to do for the rest of his life. In addition to these teaching positions, Valerio was also corrector of Greek at the Vatican library for many years.
Two of his private pupils must be mentioned for they played an important part in his life. His pupil Ippolito Aldobrandini held numerous church offices, then was made cardinal in 1585 by Pope Sixtus V and elected pope as Clement VIII on 30 January 1592. He certainly played a role in Valerio's appointment to Sapienza in 1591 and Valerio thanked him with a dedication in his work of 1604. In the same work he thanked Clement VIII's nephew Cardinal Petro Aldobrandini for his support. Clearly he was closely connected with the top people in the Roman Catholic Church. The second of his pupils whom we must mention was Margherita Sarrocchi. She was a poet and by all accounts a flamboyant extrovert. This was in distinct contrast to Valerio who was described as a shy, very withdrawn and isolated person. The two became lovers but Margherita Sarrocchi totally dominated the relationship, being possessive and jealous of anything in Valerio's life that did not involve her.
Valerio's De centro gravitatis solidorum, written in 1603, applied methods of Archimedes to find volumes and centres of gravity of solid bodies, in particular solids of rotation and their segments. He used interesting early ideas concerning the quotient of limits showing that, if limx=a,limy=blim x = a, lim y = blimx=a,limy=b and if x/y=cx / y = cx/y=c = constant, then a/b=limx/limy=lim(x/y)=c.a / b = lim x / lim y = lim (x / y ) = c.a/b=limx/limy=lim(x/y)=c. This is now known as 'Cavalieri's principle' although Valerio's work long predates that of Bonaventura Cavalieri. J L Berggren, reviewing [10] writes:-
When Luca Valerio published his 'De centro gravitatis' in 1603, he claimed he was opening up what he called a 'royal road' to the investigation of centres of gravity of solid figures. Although the topic had been treated earlier by his immediate predecessors, Commandino and Maurolico, Valerio felt, and the authors of this study agree, that his work marked an innovation in its investigation of all solids known at the time. One part of this innovation was his conception of a general class of objects (in this case, solids satisfying certain symmetry conditions), as opposed to more specific objects, such as conic sections. And the other was the development of a considerable body of theorems applicable to that class, including the 'invention' (italics in original) of the method of exhaustion, an invention usually ascribed to Eudoxus. (The authors mean this claim in the sense that Valerio was the first to systematize this ancient device, in the first three theorems of 'De centro'.) In applying these general theorems to the solution of a wide class of problems, Valerio thus advanced beyond his ancient Renaissance predecessors.
The article [7] by Divizia aims to show how, in De centro gravitatis, Valerio anticipated the concept of limit and the methods of the integral calculus to calculate areas and volumes. Book I of De centro gravitatis follows Euclid in beginning with statements of the definitions and axioms. Divizia claims that the germ of the concept of limit can be found in Proposition 1 of Book II. Galileo was highly impressed by this work and, much later in 1638, described Valerio as "the greatest geometer, the new Archimedes of our age". Their mutual admiration following the publication of Valerio's book led to a renewal of their friendship begun in Pisa fourteen years earlier.
Among Valerio's other works was Quadratura parabolae (1606). In this work he used his ideas of the quotient of limits to find the centre of gravity of a segment of a parabola, deducing it from the known centre of gravity of a hemisphere.
From 1609 until 1616 Valerio corresponded with Galileo, each showing great respect for the mathematical ability of the other. On 7 June 1612 Valerio was elected to the Accademia dei Lincei. It was Galileo who proposed Valerio to Federico Cesi who founded the Academy. Freedberg writes [3]:-
Valerio was the Lincean to whom the overall editorship of academic publications was assigned. He was given charge of the publication of one of the most critical documents for the history of the Linceans, the 'Lynceographum', the massive outline of the rules, regulations, aims, and ideals of the society. ... Valerio also played a crucial role in the publication of Galileo's 'Letters on the sunspots' of 1613. ... He [was] one of Galileo's most constant supporters and advisors. Galileo much admired him for his mathematical work.
Cardinal Robert Bellarmine, the chief theologian of the Roman Catholic Church, issued a decree on 5 March 1616 which declared Copernicanism false and erroneous. Valerio appeared to take fright at this, ending his correspondence with Galileo, and resigning from the Accademia dei Lincei which he had been deeply involved with over the previous four years [3]:-
Nothing was less expected than Valerio's abandonment of the views of his closest friend. The fact that the Jesuits of the Collegio Romano, who five years earlier had so lauded Galileo, were now silent was one thing: but from Valerio the Linceans expected greater consistency, to say the least. He had now aligned himself with the most blinkered and fanatical of Galileo's opponents. His astonished colleagues refused his resignation (for that was against their oath of loyalty); and in order to deal with this matter, as well as with the general crisis now facing them, they convoked what would turn out to be the most difficult meeting they ever had.
This meeting of the Accademia dei Lincei took place on 24 March 1616 but, given the rules of the Academy, there was no doubt what the decision had to be:-
They censured him for having betrayed his oath of loyalty and for having, by his conduct, offended both Galileo himself and the fundamental Lincean principle of mutual solidarity, or Lyncealitas as they called it. Reiterating their complete solidarity with Galileo, they deprived Valerio of his voting rights and forbade him from ever again participating in the sessions of their society. Bitterly they noted that by expressing the wish to resign, Valerio had implied that the Academy itself had committed a crime or a grave error in supporting the view of the movement of the earth; and that in accusing his old friend Galileo of this same "error", he had overlooked the fact that Galileo had only held the movement of the earth to be a hypothesis.
Now let us try to understand why Valerio behaved in the way that he did. It makes no sense to think that he might have changed his mind about the heliocentric theory for scientific reasons. He resigned immediately following the decree from the Vatican, and nothing in that decree would lead to a change of mind for scientific reasons. The most obvious reasons seem to relate to his two famous pupils that we mentioned above. His friendship with pope Clement VIII, and his resulting closeness to the Vatican, must be considered as being at least part of the reason. Clement VIII had expanded the Index of Forbidden Books (Index Librorum Prohibitorum) and intensified the activity and scope of the Inquisition. However, Clement VIII had died in 1605 and, after Pope Leo XI died after less than a month in office, Paul V had become pope. Although Paul V placed Copernicus's treatise on the Index of Forbidden Books, he was surprisingly undogmatic in doctrinal matters. It is possible that Valerio's closeness to the Vatican meant that he was aware that the Church was going to move more firmly against Galileo, yet his behaviour in resigning was out of character. The most likely explanation for Valerio's resignation relates to the poet Margherita Sarrocchi. She was undoubtedly jealous of Valerio's close association with the Accademia dei Lincei and it would appear that Valerio, being totally under her influence, had been pushed to act out of character to please Sarrocchi. Certainly if Valerio thought that his actions would prevent him from losing respect, he was totally wrong, for his spent the remaining two years of his life in obscurity and disgrace.
Baldini sums up Valerio's contribution as follows [3]:-
Luca Valerio may without a doubt be considered one of the most important figures produced by the renaissance in mathematics and mechanics that took place in Italy in the 16th century. In fact, his work represents, at least for the Archimedean tradition, the apex of that intellectual movement, in the sense that with it a series of themes that had appeared throughout the mathematics of the Cinquecento were brought to maturity, a level to which subsequent research would necessarily have to raise the framework of Renaissance mathematics, which was oriented especially toward rediscovery and translation of, and commentary on, classical texts.
As to his influence on the mathematicians who came after him, Stromholm writes [1]:-
Among the mathematicians who studied him and spoke highly of him were Cavalieri, Torricelli and J C de la Faille. He also had a direct influence on Guldin, Gregorius Saint Vincent, and Tacquet.

HomeBoxing AnalysisNo Less Violent: Juan Francisco Estrada Outlasts Srisaket Sor Rungvisai
No Less Violent: Juan Francisco Estrada Outlasts Srisaket Sor Rungvisai
April 30, 2019 Jimmy Tobin Boxing Analysis, Fight Night
INGLEWOOD, CA - APRIL 26: Juan Francisco Estrada II holds his championship belt after defeating Srisaket Sor Rungvisai (not pictured) in their WBC Council World Super Flyweight fight at The Forum on April 26, 2019 in Inglewood, California. Estrada II won by unanimous decision. (Photo by Jayne Kamin-Oncea/Getty Images)
He was right to feel confident at the final bell last year; and if a little relief crept in, well, that was okay too. Super-flyweight Juan Francisco Estrada had just gone twelve rounds with Srisaket Sor Rungvisai and had arguably gotten the better of him, enduring the Thai bruiser's roughshod belligerence, exploiting its predictability enough to believe he'd won. But, alas, Sor Rungvisai had his hand raised when the cards were read. He had fought well, too, with a presence that even fighters twice his weight can't match.
A rematch seemed inevitable, and Estrada had reason to pursue one. He is Mexico's finest prizefighter regardless of how little he resembles the warring stereotype. It was easy to envision Estrada taming Sor Rungvisai if provided the opportunity to apply for twelve rounds what it took him as long to learn. Sor Rungvisai, of course, would do what he had always done: combine strength, toughness, power, and arrogance into a brutal gestalt, the efficacy of that strategy leaving a fair trail of bodies in his wake, warmest among them, Roman Gonzalez. But there was plenty Estrada might do to Sor Rungvisai, and good reason to believe that he, the fighter best equipped to apply the lessons of the first fight, would win the second. None of that was likely to reduce the outlay for Estrada's success (wins against Sor Rungvisai do not come cheap) but that only added to the rematch's appeal.
When the bell rang to start the opening round last Friday, and Estrada and Sor Rungvisai shared once more a ring in The Forum in Inglewood, California, a different fight played out, but not in a way anyone could predict. Thankfully, it was no less competitive than the first match, no less violent, no less entertaining. And while the winner was different, too, with Estrada awarded a unanimous decision by scores of 116-112 and 115-113 (twice) that outcome was as just as the one last February.
As for that difference? Surprisingly, it was not in Estrada's adjustments but those of Sor Rungvisai. In a perplexing, almost self-sabotaging move, the Thai southpaw opened the fight in an orthodox stance. Why? Because "Estrada prepared to fight a southpaw," Sor Rungvisai explained afterward, "and I can fight in both stances." This strategic adjustment may have been well-intentioned but more than that it was confirmation of Estrada's brilliance and the problems that brilliance presented. You cannot beat a world-class fighter like "El Gallo" without your best. Yet somewhere in the thirty-six minutes they shared Sor Rungvisai found a reason to mistrust the assault that delivered him to the world stage.
Perhaps this change did not come from a place of weakness, and in preparing for Estrada a second time Sor Rungvisai deduced that he could better expedite victory with an element of surprise. That is entirely possible, and in keeping the image of unwavering self-belief he's earned. But Terence Crawford switching southpaw to take away an opponent's strength or emphasize his own this was not: Sor Rungvisai's tactic was on an obvious mistake, and Estrada showed him as much in the opening round.
Why, then, persist with this blunder? Perhaps because Sor Rungvisai started slower in the rematch, and thus learned later in the fight how utterly he needed to abandon a bad strategy. His slow start might be attributable to his fighting unnaturally, too, compounding the mistake. And yet it was difficult to not read in his sputtering start a fracture in Sor Rungvisai's self-belief. Estrada had prepared for a southpaw in the previous fight and lost—and yet Sor Rungvisai was deviating from a winning strategy? When Sor Rungvisai, 47-5-1 (41), finally warmed to the moment, he switched to southpaw and fought with a confidence as pronounced as his jab is absent. But in looking for an edge, he and his team made a mistake especially damaging for a fighter defined by physicality and a determination that forces opponents to do the changing. And so pronounced a change seems the product of more than simple ring geometry.
Imagine Estrada's delight when Sor Rungvisai began the fight as just another of the jabbing orthodox fighters Estrada had tamed before. Taking the lead, Estrada's crisper, sharper combinations, forced Sor Rungvisai to reset, at which point he had to trudge once more into the angled blades of the Mexican miter saw. When Sor Rungvisai finally reverted to southpaw, Estrada, practically handed the opening rounds, was brimming with confidence.
Yet there was Sor Rungvisai, smiling in the face of both the left hands that bounced off his head and those he sailed harmlessly wide of Estrada's tucked and turning chin. And not without reason. Estrada, 39-3 (26), appeared in control, yes, and his head-snapping excellence shone in stark contrast to Sor Rungvisai's sluggish attack, but that attack was having an effect nonetheless. Sor Rungvisai may have squandered the first half of the fight, but he was his best for the second. He hurt Estrada in the tenth, and again in the eleventh, compounding that damage with a low blow that seemed to accelerate Estrada's exhaustion. While the early rounds required that Estrada display his craft, the championship rounds—fittingly, considering the opponent—demanded that he prove his toughness. Looking increasingly disheveled, his legs leaving him, Estrada embraced the exchanges he could no longer avoid, giving Sor Rungvisai the fight he wanted without giving him the fight.
There should be a rubber match between the two because Sor Rungvisai has asked for it—for a chance to correct the ill-conceived corrections he made in the rematch—and because Estrada is man enough to reciprocate the opportunity for revenge, even if he wishes to unify the division first. And because a third fight should rival the quality of its predecessors, which, considering how aggressively Eddie Hearn plays with DAZN money, should ensure both men are paid accordingly. It needn't be more complicated than that.

Home Entertainment Review: 101 Dalmatians
by Phil Brown | February 10, 2015, 1:34 pm
101 Dalmatians (Clyde Geronimi, Hamilton Luske, Wolfgang Reitherman – 1961) In a strange way, 101 Dalmatians saved Disney animation. To explain, the movie was the next in line for production after Sleeping Beauty. That preceding film had a legendarily elongated production that pushed the detail and artistry of animation to a level never dared attempted before (and in a full 70mm presentation, no less). Today Sleepy Beauty is a classic, but on release it was met with mild profits and a collective shrug. As a result, the good folks at Disney considered abandoning their costly animation techniques all together. Then a radical production model shift was suggested for 101 Dalmatians, cutting down on frames and details, reducing the frame back to the Academy ratio, and (no joke) embracing the photocopier. Sounds silly, but it worked. The film still looked good, made far more money than it's predecessor and as a result we all eventually got to see The Black Cauldron and The Princess And The Frog. So thank god for that. Sigh…
I jest of course. 101 Dalmatians is one of the more enduring and endearing Disney animated classics kicking around. It's not a masterpiece, but it's outrageously charming and features one of the great Disney villains. So that'll do just fine, thank you very much. Undoubtedly, you know the story. A plucky (if not particularly successful) British songwriter and his delightful dalmatian find love in another kindly owner/dalmatian combo. That inevitably leads to a litter of puppies, which leads to the arrival of the dastardly Cruella De Vil (Betty Lou Gerson). She wants those puppies to make herself a dalmatian coat and yadda, yadda, yadda. You've seen The Simpsons' parody. You know the rest. It's not the most ambitious Disney tale by a mile, but the mix of light comedy, suspense, and an anti-puppy-skinning message fills the content requirements for 80 minutes of friendly family fluff just fine.
The voice acting is goofily charming, the comedy consistent (if painfully polite), and the occasional bout of action or suspense fill the entertainment bill. The British setting offers an excuse for the intense Disney politeness as well as a healthy blast of heavily accented sardonic humor. The expressively animated Cruella and Betty Lou Gerson's throaty evil performance are of course the highlight, a nasty bit of work with a nice undercurrent of bleak comedy. Though the animation was clearly toned down from Sleeping Beauty, it's still an undeniably beautifully crafted film. Rather than looking like a breathing painting, 101 Dalmatians plays more like a European comic book. Designs mix between the rough and the impressionistic to the evocatively detailed. It's the beginning of the Disney aesthetic that would continue through the 80s and one of the company's most accomplished efforts from that period. Also worth noting is the fact that 101 Dalmatians was the first Disney movie given a contemporary setting and it still feels more modern than any of the company's princess fairy tales over 50 years later. It's a delightful film that might not require much brainpower to appreciate, but at least makes up for the dopiness with heart.
101 Dalmatians debuts on Blu-ray with an absolutely gorgeous disc. The color scheme for the film was always particularly vibrant an absolutely pops off the screen, while the added detail allows viewers to see all of the pencil strokes and brush strokes with vivid detail. It's impossible not to be charmed by the visual presentation, while the lossless 7.1 soundmix preserves the original recording in crystal clarity and expanding the mix into surround without it ever feeling distracting. On a technical level, the disc is a stunner. The special features section is stacked as well, though not everything is worthwhile. The handful of new features are brief, punchy, and insubstantial (worst of all is the "411 On The 101" info feature for kids that is shockingly condescending). Thankfully, the features from the old DVD are ported over as well, which are far more worthwhile. In particular, a 35-minute documentary packs together a collection of Disney veterans involved in the production and high profile fans like Brad Bird to provide a wonderfully informative and downright fun exploration of 101 Dalmatians' production and legacy (along with a 7-minute companion doc with all the same folks discussing Cruella De Ville on her own to promote that Glenn Close movie that you forgot about). The usual trailers, animation tests, and a cute animated short round out quite a nice disc from Disney. It's actually surprising that it took so long for 101 Dalmatians to find it's way on Blu-ray, but at least the disc was worth the wait. If you're an animation buff or have access to a child, pick this sucker up immediately before it's shoved back into the Disney vault.

Thin films of vanadium oxide (V2O5-x) were prepared by rf magnetron sputtering process and are heat treated to study the annealing effect. As-deposited thin films are amorphous in nature and crystallinity is improved by annealing the sample. Thin layers with high density and small grain size varying from 36 nm to 70 nm were seen in the FESEM images of as-deposited thin films. In the case of annealed thin films, it has been transformed to thin elongated rod like structure with 202.5 nm length and an average diameter of approximately 48 nm. Optical properties were studied by using UV-Vis-NIR spectrophotometer and the reduction in transmission in annealed thin films is due to the crystalline nature of thin films. Studies were done on the samples by taking photoluminescence and Laser Raman spectra.
Keywords: vanadium oxide, rf magnetron sputtering, annealing.

The Most Anticipated Film of The Year Chosen By Fans at MCM Comic Con
June 13, 2018 Film, Film Features
Incredibles 2 voted "The most anticipated film of the year" at May's 2018 MCM Comic Con
The sequel to the beloved animated film is the popular' choice for upcoming 2018 films whilst Marvel trounce DC in the ratings
(Full infographics available to download here)
13th June 2018: London, UK – Following their May Bank Holiday convention, MCM Comic Con have revealed that out of the upcoming films in 2018, fans were most excited in seeing the animated superhero film, Incredibles 2. The survey commissioned by the pop-culture marketing agency Experience12, saw that the much loved Parr family's return to the big screen managed to beat Marvel's upcoming Ant-Man and the Wasp, starring Paul Rudd and Evangeline Lilly as well as Tom Hardy's anti-hero Venom. The survey also highlighted a number of fascinating insights into the preferences of Comic Con fans, who's age range was predominately 18-34 (69%) including their choice of viewing devices and streaming platforms.
In the tradition Marvel Vs DC debate, 2017 saw a slight bump in popularity for DC with the huge success of Wonder Woman in the Box Office. Despite this brief glimmer however, the consecutive successes of Thor: Ragnarok in 2017 and the Box Office juggernauts of Black Panther and the Avengers: Infinity War this year, Marvel now dominate DC in the eyes of the fans, with only 25% picking DC over Marvel.
When it came to Television, fans were most excited about seeing Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan, which will be hitting Amazon Prime in August. The series, starring A Quiet Places's star and director, John Krasinski was voted 'Most Anticipated TV Series' with 15% of the vote, narrowly beating Marvel's Cloak and Dagger (13%) and Castle Rock(5%).
When it came to entertainment viewing preferences, there were clear winners. Overall, Subscription Streaming Platforms such as Netflix and Amazon Prime took 53% of the audience, compared to TV On Demand on 27% and Live TV, which has slumped to 14%. When comparing the Streaming Platforms themselves, it's unsurprising to see that Netflix took their lion's share of the audience, taking 73%, compared to Amazon's 13% and Now TV's 4%.
The survey was taken through Pop-culture marketing agency Experience12, who also were responsible for several exhibitions on the day including Warner Bros. and Amazon Prime Video. Chris Whittle, Experience12 founder and Managing Director said: "As a pop culture agency we are always looking for new ways to understand our audience so asking the true fans at London's MCM Comic Con is a no brainer. Some of the findings simply reaffirm what we already knew,, but having undertaken research at Comic Con for two years now, we're starting to see some really interesting and unexpected trends developing which we'll be sharing soon."
Fans who attended May's Comic Con were treated to a number of fan favourites and cult hero's including Black Panther and Avengers: Infinity War's Letitia Wright, DeadpooI's Brianna Hildebrand and Stefan Kapičić (Negasonic Teenage Warhead and Colossus) as well as Lucifer's Tom Ellis Lucifer andRosario Dawson from Marvel's Daredevil and The Defenders.
MCM Comic Con will be returning to London in October!

The last two episodes slowed down the entire story. Plus Shao Khan looks like a low budget Don Draper..

Any idea when they'll be getting to the point? I like Mortal Kombat as much as the next guy, but this is turning into soap opera bullsh*t. At this rate, they'll have a episode focused entirely on Motaro the horsey/centaur. He was a Centaur, and he'd beat your puny human ass. If he only had a heart!

Unfortunately, this web-based series about Mortal Kombat is getting progressively worse with each and every new episode. I like this universe, but seriously, people thought that Conquest sucked. Compared to this, it's a masterpiece.

Puppet Masters
IRS data proves Trump tax cuts benefited middle, working-class Americans most
Justin Haskins
Sat, 04 Dec 2021 08:00 UTC
© Conservative Refocus/US Hot Air/KJN
President Biden and congressional Democrats' Build Back Better (BBB) Act is now in the hands of the Senate. That legislative body's 50-50 partisan split will undoubtedly make the bill's passage difficult.
In order for BBB to become law, Democratic Senate leadership will need to convince moderates such as Sens. Kyrsten Sinema (D-Ariz.) and Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) that the legislation's $2.4 trillion price tag can be offset by expanding the IRS and its enforcement efforts while imposing substantial tax reform measures.
Congressional Democrats have argued that one of the best ways to pay for the legislation is to raise taxes on wealthy households, which, according to many on the left, have benefited disproportionately and unfairly from the 2017 tax reform law passed by Republicans and signed by former President Trump. The latest data, however, proves that this claim is pure mythology.
Income data published by the IRS clearly show that on average all income brackets benefited substantially from the Republicans' tax reform law, with the biggest beneficiaries being working and middle-income filers, not the top 1 percent, as so many Democrats have argued.
A careful analysis of the IRS tax data, one that includes the effects of tax credits and other reforms to the tax code, shows that filers with an adjusted gross income (AGI) of $15,000 to $50,000 enjoyed an average tax cut of 16 percent to 26 percent in 2018, the first year Republicans' Tax Cuts and Jobs Act went into effect and the most recent year for which data is available.
Filers who earned $50,000 to $100,000 received a tax break of about 15 percent to 17 percent, and those earning $100,000 to $500,000 in adjusted gross income saw their personal income taxes cut by around 11 percent to 13 percent.
By comparison, no income group with an AGI of at least $500,000 received an average tax cut exceeding 9 percent, and the average tax cut for brackets starting at $1 million was less than 6 percent. (For more detailed data, see my table published here.)
That means most middle-income and working-class earners enjoyed a tax cut that was at least double the size of tax cuts received by households earning $1 million or more.
What's more, IRS data shows earners in higher income brackets contributed a bigger slice of the total income tax revenue pie following the passage of the tax reform law than they had in the previous year.
In fact, every income bracket with filers earning $200,000 or more increased its tax burden in 2018 compared to 2017, and every income bracket with a top limit lower than $200,000 paid a smaller proportion of the total personal tax revenue collected.
That means that Republicans' tax reform law resulted in the tax code becoming slightly more progressive — the exact opposite of what Democrats have claimed over the past four years.
The IRS data further shows that the tax reform law — which included a variety of business tax cuts, including a large reduction in the corporate income tax rate — spurred economic mobility.
Every income bracket with a top level lower than $25,000 experienced a reduction in its number of filers, and every income bracket above $25,000 increased in size, with the biggest gains occurring in the brackets with a floor of at least $100,000.
The fact is, Republicans' 2017 tax reform law did exactly what was promised: It lowered taxes for all income groups, provided the greatest benefits for middle-income households, and spurred economic growth that helped reduce poverty and improve prosperity.
It would be a grave mistake for Democrats to eliminate key parts of this important legislation.

I doesn't matter what the Leftards touch, They will always stuff it up. I cant believe how people can vote for Leftist parties. The Democrats in the USA and The Labor Party in Australia.
Once they are in power the economy goes down the drain. Its a given fact and seems to be part of the political cycle.
The Leftards get voted in and all seems rosy at first with the massive spending and the like, Then the money runs out and taxes and prices go up, so then we Vote in the more economy driven Conservatives like the Republicans or the Liberal party here in AU to fix things up which causes more pain as the purse string get tightened to make the Budget.
Joe citizen gets sick of this and then votes the leftards back in.. Agghhh Its all like its a game.
They reward the students bad behavior. This kid is fucked if he is allowed to continue this BS.
Who pays for public education, the politicians or the tax payers? Answer is obvious.
