Q: On the Bessel Kernel The author defined the Bessel kernel that
\begin{align*}
G_{\alpha}(x)=\int_{0}^{\infty}t^{(\alpha-N)/2}e^{-\pi(|x|^{2}/t)-(t/4\pi)}\dfrac{dt}{t},~~~~x\in\mathbb{R}^{N}
\end{align*}
for $\alpha>0$. He noted that
\begin{align*}
G_{\alpha}(x)\leq AG_{\alpha}(x+y),~~~~|x|\geq 2,~~~~|y|\leq 1.
\end{align*}
for some constant $A>0$. I fail to see the reasoning right here.
First off, $|x+y|\leq|x|+1\leq |x|+(1/2)|x|=(3/2)|x|$, and so
\begin{align*}
G_{\alpha}(x+y)\geq\int_{0}^{\infty}t^{(\alpha-N)/2}e^{-\pi(|x|^{2}/t)-(t/4\pi)}e^{-(5\pi/4)(|x|^{2}/t)}\dfrac{dt}{t},
\end{align*}
this wouldn't help in getting the inequality greater than $G_{\alpha}(x)$ since $e^{-(5\pi/4)(|x|^{2}/t)}\rightarrow 0$ as $t\rightarrow 0^{+}$.
But the author claimed that it is an easy exercise. So I wonder that there must be some trick to go on but I have totally missed it.

A: The bound $(3/2)|x|$ is simply too crude for the estimate.
First off, we also denote that
\begin{align*}
G_{\alpha}(r)=\int_{0}^{\infty}t^{(\alpha-N)/2}e^{-\pi(r^{2}/t)-(t/4\pi)}\dfrac{dt}{t},~~~~r\geq 0,~~~~\alpha>0,
\end{align*}
so that $G_{\alpha}(\cdot)$ is radial, decreasing, and continuous on $(0,\infty)$.
Since $G_{\alpha}(|x|+1)\leq G_{\alpha}(x+y)$, it suffices to show that $G_{\alpha}(x)\leq A G_{\alpha}(|x|+1)$, or simply that
\begin{align*}
\varphi(r)&=\dfrac{G_{\alpha}(r+1)}{G_{\alpha}(r)},\\
\inf_{r\geq 2}\varphi(r)&=\text{constant}>0.
\end{align*}
We appeal to the asymptotic expansion that
\begin{align*}
G_{\alpha}(r)\approx r^{(\alpha-N-1)/2}e^{-r},~~~~r\rightarrow\infty,~~~~\alpha>0.
\end{align*}
Then it is easy to see that such a constant is strictly positive. Such an asymptotic expansion also shows that the bound $(3/2)|x|$ will not work for the estimate since $e^{-(3/2)r}/e^{-r}=e^{-(1/2)r}\rightarrow 0$ as $r\rightarrow\infty$.
The point is that, the deduction of such an asymptotic expansion is by no means easy, a reference is given by Aronszajin, N., Smith, K. T. Theory of Bessel potentials, I.
An easy one-sided estimate is given in many harmonic analysis books that
\begin{align*}
G_{\alpha}(x)=\mathcal{O}(e^{-|x|/2}),~~~~|x|\rightarrow\infty.
\end{align*}
But this one-sided estimate is simply not enough to showing that the strictly positivity of such a constant.
An easier argument should be ready for such an estimate.

Jack Colvin dies at 71
March 13, 2021 December 6, 2005 by Michael Sheridan
Jack Colvin
Once more I find myself commenting on the passing of another familiar face from my childhood. This time it is Jack Colvin, who famously played the roving reporter determined to hunt down the "dangerous" green monster known as The Incredible Hulk. He appeared not only in the series, which ran from 1977 to 1982, but also several of the television movies that came after it.
Colvin, 71, died of complications from a stroke, according to CNN. Now, I make mention of his role in the Hulk series, but he also appeared in numerous television shows like Murder, She Wrote, The Six Million Dollar Man, and Cagney & Lacey. His film roles included Child's Play, the John Wayne classic Rooster Cogburn, and Robert Redford's Jeremiah Johnson.
Also according to the CNN story, which I took as a little sad, he had no wife or children.

This document will be available to all patients upon request.
This notice describes how personal information about you may be used or disclosed and how you can gain access to this information. Please review it carefully.
If you have any questions about this notice, please contact the Atikokan General Hospital (AGH) Privacy Officer, Bridget Davidson, (807) 597-4215, ext. 306.
All departments, units and sites affiliated with this hospital (employed by AGH-i.e. EMS/ambulance service and Community Counseling/Addictions Services).
All employees, contract staff and other hospital personnel.
All of these entities, sites and locations will follow the terms of this notice. In addition, these entities, sites and locations may share medical information with each other for treatment, payment or hospital operational purposes described in this notice.
We understand that information about you and your health is personal. We are committed to protecting personal information about you. We create a record of the care and services you receive at the hospital. We need this record to provide you with quality care and to comply with certain legal requirements. This notice applies to all of the records of your care generated by the hospital, whether made by hospital personnel, your personal doctor or other practitioners involved in your care. Your personal doctor may have different policies or notices regarding the doctor's use and disclosure of your personal information held in the doctor's office or clinic.
This notice will tell you about the ways in which we may use and disclose personal information about you. We also describe your rights and certain obligations we have regarding the use and disclosure of medical information.
The following categories describe different ways that we use and disclose personal information. For each category of uses or disclosures we will explain what we mean and try to give some examples. Not every use or disclosure in a category will be listed. However, all of the ways we are permitted to use and disclose information will fall within one of the categories.
For Treatment: We may use personal information about you to provide you with medical treatment or services. We may disclose personal information about you to doctors, nurses, technicians, health care students, clergy, or others who are involved in your care. For example, a doctor treating you for a broken leg may need to know if you have diabetes because diabetes may slow the healing process. In addition, the doctor may need to tell the dietician if you have diabetes so that we can arrange for appropriate meals. Different departments of the hospital also may share personal information about you in order to coordinate the different things you need, such as prescriptions, lab work and x-rays. We also may disclose personal information about you to people outside the hospital who may be involved in your medical care after you leave the hospital, such as the local medical clinic/follow up physician, home nursing services, contracted diagnostic facilities, long term care facilities, specialists, or others we or your physician uses to provide services that are part of your care.
For Payment: We may use and disclose personal information about you so that we can ensure payment for the treatment and services you received at the hospital. Basic fees are covered by your provincial plan. For additional fees, we may need to release information to your extended health care plan provider. This would not be released until a proper informed consent to release the information was received from you. For example, we may need to give your health plan information about a treatment you received at the hospital so your health plan will pay us or reimburse us for the treatment.
For Health Care Operations: We may use and disclose personal information about you for hospital operations. These uses and disclosures are necessary to run the hospital and make sure that all of our patients receive quality care. For example, we may use personal information to review our treatment and services and to evaluate the performance of our staff in caring for you or we (or an agent acting on our behalf) may send you a Patient Satisfaction Survey. We may also combine personal information about many hospital patients to decide what additional services the hospital should offer, what services are not needed, and whether certain new treatments are effective. We may also disclose information to doctors, nurses, technicians, health care students, and other hospital personnel for review and learning purposes. We may also combine the personal information we have with personal information from other hospitals to compare how we are doing and see where we can make improvements in the care and services we offer. We may remove identifying information so others may use it to study health care and health care delivery without learning who the specific patients are.
Appointment Reminders: We may use and disclose personal information to contact you as a reminder that you have an appointment for treatment or medical care at the hospital, or provide this information to other health services, so they may contact you.
Treatment Alternatives: We may use and disclose personal information to tell you about or recommend possible treatment options or alternatives that may be of interest to you.
Health-Related Benefits and Services: We may use and disclose personal information to tell you about health-related benefits, services, or medical education classes that may be of interest to you.
Fundraising Activities: We may use information about you to contact you in an effort to raise money for the hospital and its operations. We may disclose information to a foundation related to the hospital so that the foundation may contact you in raising money for the hospital. We can only release your name and mailing address 60 days following your treatment here. If you do not want the hospital to contact you for fundraising efforts, you must notify our Privacy Officer in writing.
Hospital Census: We may include certain limited information about you in the hospital directory while you are a patient at the hospital. This information may include your name, location in the hospital, etc. This is so your family, friends and clergy can visit or contact you in the hospital.
Research: Under certain circumstances, we may use and disclose personal information about you for research purposes. Most research will be completed in a non-identifying format. In certain circumstances we may require your permission for some research. For example, a research project may involve comparing the health and recovery of all patients who received one medication to those who received another, for the same condition. All research projects, however, are subject to a special approval process. We will ask for your specific permission if the researcher will have access to your name, address or other information that reveals who you are and is using the data outside our organization, or if the researcher will be involved in your care at the hospital.
As Required By Law: We will disclose personal information about you when required to do so by federal or provincial law. We may disclose personal information to a police officer if they present to the hospital with a subpoena or search warrant.
Workers' Safety Insurance Board: Upon your signed consent to release patient information, we may release personal information about you to WSIB or similar programs. These programs provide benefits for work-related injuries or illness.
Organ and Tissue Donation: If you are an organ donor, we may release personal information to organizations that handle organ procurement or organ, eye or tissue transplantation or to an organ donation bank, as necessary to facilitate organ or tissue donation and transplantation.
Outpatient Programs (Diabetes, Dietician, Rehab Therapy): We may use and disclose personal information about you for continued medical treatment. For example the physiotherapy department may have access to your records to follow up on an x-ray or a doctor's discharge plan, the diabetes education nurse may have access to your records to follow up on blood test results, etc.
Lawsuits and Disputes: If you are involved in a lawsuit or a dispute, we may disclose personal information about you in response to a court or administrative order or upon your signed direction. We may also disclose personal information about you in response to a subpoena, warrant, or other lawful process by someone else involved in the dispute.
Coroners, Medical Examiners and Funeral Directors: We may release personal information to a coroner or medical examiner. This may be necessary, for example, to identify a deceased person or determine the cause of death. We may also release personal information about patients of the hospital to funeral directors as necessary to carry out their duties.
If the request is from an identifiable person or agency who is qualified to receive the information, i.e. attending physician, specialist, other hospital, etc. Attempt will be made to confirm requestor's right to access information when in doubt (i.e. request identifying details, return phone calls, etc.).
The patient's location within the hospital.
Any other request for disclosure should be directed to the physician in charge of the client.
Highway Traffic Act: Section 203(1) of the Highway Traffic Act requires physicians to report to the Registrar of Motor Vehicles the "name, address and clinical condition" of a client who, in the opinion of the physician, is suffering from a condition that may make it dangerous for the patient to operate a motor vehicle.
Nursing Home Act: Section 25(1) of the Nursing Homes Act requires physicians who suspect that a resident has suffered or may suffer harm as a result of unlawful conduct, improper or incompetent treatment, care or neglect to report this information to the director.
Aeronautic Act: The Aeronautics Act requires physicians to report air traffic controllers, pilots and other aviation license holders who suffer from a condition that may affect aviation safety. The Report must be filed with an aviation medical advisor.

For a current episode of care: If you are still here and only request access to records related to your current visit or admission, speak directly with your attending physician or request to speak to a nurse manager. There is no charge for these interactive communications with your health care providers.
Subsequent to discharge from hospital: You may request access to and/or copies of your complete record or specified portions. You will have to make a written request to our Privacy Officer. There are fees associated with viewing sessions and provision of copies. You will be advised of these once our Privacy Officer has received your request.
We may deny your request to inspect and copy in certain very limited circumstances. If you are denied access to personal information, you may request that the denial be reviewed. Another licensed health care professional chosen by the hospital will review your request and the denial. The person conducting the review will not be the person who denied your request. We will comply with the outcome of the review.
Right to Amend: If you feel that personal information we have about you is incorrect or incomplete, you may ask us to amend the information. You have the right to request an amendment for as long as the information is kept by or for the hospital.
Right to an Accounting of Disclosures: You have the right to request an "accounting of disclosures." This is a list of the disclosures we made of personal information about you to others except for purposes of treatment, payment and operations identified above.
To request this list or accounting of disclosures, you must submit your request in writing to the Privacy Officer. Your request must state a time period, which may not include dates before November 1, 2004. Your request should indicate in what form you want the list (i.e. hard copy, fax, or email).

Clonakilty (/ˈklɔːnæˌkɪltiː/; Irish: Cloich na Coillte, meaning 'stone (castle) of the woods'),[2] sometimes shortened to Clon,[3][4] is a town in County Cork, Ireland. The town is at the head of the tidal Clonakilty Bay. The rural hinterland is used mainly for dairy farming.[5] The town's population as of 2016 was 4,592.[6] The town is a tourism hub in West Cork, and was recognised as the "Best Town in Europe" in 2017, and "Best Place of the Year" in 2017 by the Royal Institute of the Architects of Ireland.[7][8] Clonakilty is in the Dáil constituency of Cork South-West, which has three seats.

The Clonakilty area has a number of ancient and pre-Celtic sites, including Lios na gCon ringfort.[9] Norman settlers built castles around Clonakilty, and a number of Norman surnames survive in the West Cork area to the present day.[10] In 1292, Thomas De Roach received a charter to hold a market every Monday at Kilgarriffe (then called Kyle Cofthy or Cowhig's Wood), close to where the present town now stands.[citation needed] In the 14th century, a ten-mile strip of fallow woodland called Tuath na gCoillte (the land of the woods) divided the barony of Ibane (Ardfield) and Barryroe and reached the sea at Clonakilty Bay. Here a castle called Coyltes Castell was recorded in a 1378 plea roll. This was subsequently referred to as Cloghnykyltye, one of the many phonetic spellings for Cloch na gCoillte (meaning the castle of the woods, from cloch, the Irish for stone or stone building, and coillte meaning woods).[2]
The lands around Clonakilty were owned by Richard Boyle, 1st Earl of Cork, and it was Lord Cork ('the Great Earl') who obtained its charter from King James I in 1613,[11] with the right to return members to the Irish House of Commons. The borough of Clonakilty returned two members from 1613 to 1801; it was disfranchised when the Act of Union came into force in January 1801. It also had a part-time judge, the Recorder of Clonakilty, who held a weekly court of Petty session. The estate lands at Clonakilty were later purchased by the Earls of Shannon, another branch of the Boyle dynasty. They remained the main landlords of the town from the eighteenth century through until the early twentieth century.[12]
During the Irish Rebellion of 1641, Protestant settlers in Clonakilty fled to Bandon, and much of Clonakilty was burned by Catholic rebels.[13][14][15] On October 1642, a Protestant force led by Lord Forbes consisting of the Scottish Lord Forbes' Regiment and the Irish Bandon Foot reoccupied the town. Lord Forbes left two companies from Lord Forbes' Regiment and one company from the Bandon Foot to garrison Clonakilty before leaving the town to relieve Rathbarry Castle, which was under siege by rebel forces. However, almost immediately after Lord Forbes left Clonakilty, a large force of Catholic rebels attacked the town; the two Scottish companies refused to retreat and were killed to a man, while the Irish company fought their way out of the town to an abandoned ringfort near Rosscarbery, where they were relieved by Lord Forbes who had returned from Rathbarry.[16][failed verification]
The reunified force returned to Clonakilty and drove out the rebels, who fled towards the island of Inchydoney, where roughly six hundred of them drowned at high tide. Lord Forbes' men returned to the town and freed a large number of men, women and children imprisoned in Clonakilty's market house who the rebels had planned on burning on a bonfire.[16][failed verification] The town was also the site of a battle in 1691 during the Williamite War in Ireland.[14] During the Irish Rebellion of 1798, Shannonvale near Clonakilty was the site of the Battle of the Big Cross. It was described as "the only place in all Munster where a blow of some sort had been struck during the Rising of '98".[17] There is a commemorative statue celebrating the Battle of the Big Cross in Astna Square in the centre of Clonakilty.
Michael Collins, who was the Director of Intelligence for the Irish Republican Army (IRA) during the Irish War of Independence, lived in Clonakilty and attended the local boys' national school. Collins later served as Chairman of the Provisional Government of Ireland and was instrumental in the founding of the Irish Free State. Collins was killed in ambush by the Anti-Treaty IRA during the Irish Civil War. He gave several orations from O'Donovan's Hotel on the Main Street of Clonakilty. On Emmet Square, where Collins lived for a period, is a statue of Michael Collins (erected and dedicated in 2002) and a museum (opened in 2016).
In April 1943, a Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress was travelling from Morocco to England when it was forced to land at a marsh just outside Clonakilty.[18] The crew (who were uninjured) thought they had been flying over German-occupied Norway.[19] Kennedy Gardens at Emmet Square (formerly Shannon Square) in the centre of town is named after John F. Kennedy. In June 2012, Clonakilty was damaged by flooding.[20] Clonakilty was founded on 5 May 1613, and on 5 May 2013, President Michael D. Higgins and his wife visited the town to commemorate 400 years since it obtained its original charter.[21][4]
Churches[edit]
Kilgariffe Church (Church of Ireland) is a building of 1818 replacing an older church going back to 1613.[22][23]
The Church of the Immaculate Conception (Catholic) is a large building in Early French Gothic style, designed by George Ashlin and completed in 1880.[24][25] The old Presbyterian Church was built in 1861 and taken over and used since 1924 as a local Post Office.[26] The local Methodist church is located in the town and became the first church in Ireland to win two Eco Congregation Ireland awards.[27][28]
Transport[edit]
See also: History of rail transport in Ireland
The nearest airport to the town is Cork Airport, and Bus Éireann provides coach links from Clonakilty to Cork and Skibbereen.[29] During the summer months, there is a bus link to Killarney via the N71 road through Skibbereen, Bantry, Glengarriff and Kenmare.
Clonakilty was one of the destinations on the West Cork Railway, an Irish mainline railway from Cork city to various parts of West Cork, which shut down in 1961. Clonakilty railway station opened on 28 August 1886, but finally closed on 1 April 1961.[30]
Clonakilty has a bypass road on the N71, to the south of the town, which routes traffic to Cork, Kinsale, Bandon, Skibbereen and Dunmanway via the R599, just west of the town, or vice versa to the R588 via Enniskean and the town centre.[citation needed]
Culture and music[edit]
De Barra's
Clonakilty's bars host live music nights throughout the year, and De Barra's Folk Club,[31] Shanley's Music Bar,[32] and O'Donovans and are among the town's music venues.[33] De Barra's Folk Club has featured acts like Christy Moore, Sharon Shannon, Roy Harper, John Spillane and Frances Black.[34][35]
A number of notable musicians live in the area. For example, Noel Redding made Clonakilty his home,[36] as has singer-songwriter Roy Harper.[37] English novelist David Mitchell also calls Clonakilty home.[38]
An Súgán
The town also hosts several festivals every year, including the Clonakilty International Guitar Festival in mid-September,[31] the Motion Festival and the Waterfront Festival in August.[39]
Awards[edit]
The town won the Irish Tidy Towns Competition in 1999 and was also named 'Ireland's Tidiest Small Town' in 2017.[40] In 2003, Clonakilty became Ireland's first-ever official Fair trade Town. In 2007 it was awarded the status of European Destination of Excellence by the European Commission at a ceremony in Portugal and is Ireland's first recipient of this title.

Wolfram latest to seek protection from Lodsys
Wolfram Alpha asked a Wisconsin court to rule that it doesn't infringe Lodsys patents
Writer, IDG News Service |
Wolfram Alpha on Tuesday became the latest company to ask a court to protect it from a lawsuit from Lodsys, the company that has been suing mobile application developers.
Lodsys, which owns technology patents related to in-app purchases, asked Wolfram in a letter to license the technology for use in its iPad app, Wolfram said in a filing with the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Wisconsin. Lodsys alleges that Wolfram infringes six of its patents.
Since it expects to soon become the target of a patent-infringement lawsuit, Wolfram asked the court to rule preemptively that it does not infringe Lodsys' patents.
Wolfram's court filing is the eighth such request from a company seeking protection from Lodsys, according to Florian Mueller, a patent expert following the case.
Lodsys has sent letters to a number of mobile app developers, large and small, asking them to license its technology. When they don't, Lodsys has filed patent-infringement lawsuits against them. The activity has alarmed developers, particularly independent ones who are not able to pay a licensing fee or afford to defend themselves in a lawsuit.
Some developers may be hoping to buy time until Apple can help them. On Monday, Apple filed additional arguments supporting an earlier request to intervene in a suit Lodsys brought against seven app developers in Texas. Apple licenses the technologies from Lodsys, and argues that its licenses also protect other app developers. Apple hopes to defend the developers in court, but Lodsys has argued that it shouldn't be allowed to.

Unprecedented Hike in Egg Prices
KUWAIT - Mohammad Mutlaq Al-Dujaini, Member of the prices committee in the union of cooperative societies and Chairman of Ardiya cooperative society, said there has been no response to his repeated demands during the past two months warning of the dangers resulting from exporting eggs abroad.
According to Kuwait Times, he said he holds the Ministry of Commerce and the Union of Cooperative Societies responsible for the unprecedented hike in the price of eggs in Kuwait.
He continued by saying eggs are basic goods in every house and it is one of the important goods for food security. He said demands for eggs increase in the winter season. He said everyone has felt it.
Mr Al-Dujaini said there is a lack of response to public demand. He said merchants are being supported at the expense of consumers, who are continuously being faced with high prices.
He said regrettably his repeated demands were like shooting in the air, as no one has responded to them. None of the officials made any move to stop this matter, and they did not heed his warnings. He said he is disappointed that not one official moved to find solutions or speak openly to the media about this disaster.

Little Lulu è il soprannome di Lulu Moppett, personaggio protagonista di un fumetto creato a metà degli anni trenta da Marjorie Henderson Buell.

Il personaggio ha debuttato sul The Saturday Evening Post il 23 febbraio 1935 in un'unica vignetta, dove appare come una fioraia in un matrimonio che sparge per la navata bucce di banana.

Little Lulu ha continuato ad essere pubblicata settimanalmente sul The Saturday Evening Post fino al 30 dicembre 1944 (questa è la prima serie ufficiale firmata dalla sua autrice).

Fumetto
Una striscia quotidiana comica, intitolata Little Lulu, è stata "sindacata" su vari quotidiani dal 5 giugno 1950 fino al maggio del 1969 e si sono susseguite negli anni varie pubblicazioni soprattutto negli USA fino agli anni ottanta, la serie è continuata negli anni con nuove pubblicazioni e ripubblicazioni fino al 2005.

Tra i suoi più importanti autori/continuatori della striscia va menzionato il cartoonist John Stanley (1914-1993), che sceneggiò il fumetto dal 1945 al 1959 (lo stesso Stanley era anche un artista affermato che ha disegnato molti dei suoi racconti, tra cui i primi Little Lulu) introducendo molti nuovi personaggi.

Le storie si basano su Lulu e i suoi amici, tutti bambini e le storie ruotano sulle loro avventure.

In Italia è conosciuta soprattutto per le serie a cartoni animati chiamate La piccola Lulù o The Little Lulu Show, entrambe trasmesse da Rai 2.

Cartoon
Little Lulu è diventato anche un cartone animato per la prima volta a metà degli anni quaranta, in una serie di cortometraggi animati prodotti dalla Famous Studios per la Paramount Pictures.
Si sono susseguite varie produzioni tra gli anni cinquanta fino al 1999, di cui anche alcune serie di produzioni anime giapponesi.

Gardeners tuck summer bulbs deeply into the soil to produce quick-growing plants with tremendous blooming capability. Gladiolus, dahlias, calla and canna lilies add interest and beauty to the garden. Neighborhood critters often snack on bulbs since the root-like masses provide a tasty treat. Since gardeners must share garden space with critters, determining what type of animal is dining on your bulbs may be difficult. Narrowing down the suspects allows gardeners to select the best type of pest control to limit damage to summer bulbs.
Squirrels make nests high in the treetops, but these animals will snack on literally any fruit, seed, nut or plant in the garden. Squirrels are notorious for digging holes in gardens to steal newly planted bulbs. Install flat pieces of chicken wire under the mulch layer to protect summer bulbs from digging by squirrels.
These tiny members of the rodent family often feed on more than simply the bulb portion of the plant. Both snack on foliage and can decimate a garden in a few days. Voles and mice live under layers of leaf debris or grassy areas of the lawn. These animals often use the tunnels created by moles. Elimination, using traps or poison, offers the only option for dealing with the problem of mice or voles eating summer bulbs.
Moles are prolific diggers and like to tunnel beneath garden beds. This puts them square in the path of newly planted bulbs. Soil doesn't protect root-like structures from these burrowing animals. Moles present a dilemma for gardeners because these animals provide a valuable service by eating grubs in the garden. Moles can be controlled using traps or poison. Eliminating the food source of insects, grubs and worms may encourage moles to move elsewhere.
Rabbits eat most type of vegetation except plants with textured foliage or spines. A very hungry rabbit might even eat anything. Rabbits will consume both bulbs and flowers of most kinds of summer plants if given the opportunity. Restrict access using fencing or by placing fine chicken wire under the mulch layer of the garden. Rabbits burrow quite well, so limit access to the planting site in a wide area to discourage digging.
These cute little woodland critters can decimate a garden in record time. Despite their tiny size, chipmunks climb, tunnel and hop their way to the tastiest food in your garden. Chipmunks prefer plant roots, fruits, nuts and bulbs. These animals create tunnels and can easily dig a bulb out of the soil right after initial planting. Control methods include repellents or traps to eliminate damage to summer bulbs and foliage.

Q: PHP : condition on a mysql db I'm pretty new in PHP coding, and I cannot find the error in the following code... could you help me please  ?

Fatal error: Cannot use object of type PDOStatement as array in C:\wamp\www\membre\inscription_post.php on line 14 Call Stack #   Time    Memory  Function    Location 1 0.0006   682688  {main}( )   ..\inscription_post.php:0

<?php
try
{
$bdd = new PDO('mysql:host=localhost;dbname=test', 'root', '');
}
catch(Exception $e)
{
die('Erreur : '.$e->getMessage());
}
$mem = $bdd -> query('SELECT * FROM membres');

while ($data = $mem -> fetch())
{
    if($mem['pseudo'] == $_POST['pseudo'])
    {
        echo "Pseudo existant";
    }
    else
    {
        $pass_hache = sha1($_POST['pass']);
        $req = $bdd->prepare('INSERT INTO membres (pseudo, pass, email, date_inscription) VALUES(?, ?, ?, CURDATE())');
        $req->execute(array($_POST['pseudo'], $pass_hache, $_POST['email']));
        header('Location: inscription.php');
        echo "Membre ajouté";
    }
}
$mem -> closeCursor();

?>

membres table structure is the following
id(=INT, primary key),
pseudo (VARCHAR(255)),
pass (VARCHAR(255)),
date_inscription (date)

Thank you for your help

A: something like this
<?php
$dsn = 'mysql:host=localhost;dbname=test;charset=utf8';
$opt = array(
    PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE            => PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION,
    PDO::ATTR_DEFAULT_FETCH_MODE => PDO::FETCH_ASSOC
);
$bdd = new PDO($dsn,'root','', $opt);

$stm = $bdd->prepare('SELECT 1 FROM membres WHERE pseudo=?');
$stm->execute(array($_POST['pseudo']));
$row = $stm->fetch();
if ($row) {
    echo "Pseudo existant";
} else {
    $pass_hache = sha1($_POST['pass']);
    $sql = 'INSERT INTO membres VALUES(NULL, ?, ?, ?, CURDATE())';
    $req = $bdd->prepare($sql);
    $req->execute(array($_POST['pseudo'], $pass_hache, $_POST['email']));
    header('Location: inscription.php');
}

insert query can be wrong, depends on the table schema

A: if($mem['pseudo'] == $_POST['pseudo'])
    ^^^--- should be $data instead

But this is bad code. You're basically buying up the entire contents of a grocery store (your members table), driving it all home, then throwing away everything EXCEPT the one chocolate bar you wanted. You should be doing this in the DB, essentially
SELECT * FROM members WHERE pseudo=...

A: if($mem['pseudo'] == $_POST['pseudo']) should be if($data['pseudo'] == $_POST['pseudo']) as you are reading each line from $mem as $data. However, this doesn't seem like the best option for doing what it looks like you are trying to do - why not search for $_POST['pseudo'] in the database directly instead of looping through them all?

Armitage Bridge Hall, Armitage Bridge, South Crosland
GEOGRAPHIC STUB
This page is a bare-bones entry for a specific location. More detailed information may eventually be added...
also known as: Armitage Bridge House
appears on maps: 1854 [#142]
location: Armitage Bridge, South Crosland
status: still exists
Reportedly designed by Leeds-based architect R.D. Chantrell[1] and built in 1828 for John Brooke, owner of the nearby mill complex. Chantrell also designed the church of St. Paul for the Brooke family, which was consecrated in 1848.
As the Historic England Listing notes, the property had fallen into a dilapidated state by the 1970s but was restored in 1980s and converted into a number of apartments.

DeepakSethSpeak: How to get your iPhone to work on all networks ?
Want to use your iPhone on a network other than AT&T ?
First, I would like to say thanks again to gray, iProof, dinopio, lazyc0der, anonymous, the dev team, nightwatch, and everyone who donated. Without them, there would be no unlock today, and I surely wouldn't be up at 8AM.Second, you may brick your iPhone using this tutorial. YOU ARE WARNED.Okay on to the actual step. Remove the black part, the three screws, and the aluminum case. Disconnect the wire connecting the phone to the case. Do not remove anything else. Comment on these posts if you are with me so far. Once we get a good number of comments I'll move on.
The red line is covering the A17 trace. In order to trick the chip into thinking the flash is erased in the correct section, you will need to pull this high. Scrape away at the trace with something like a multimeter probe. Then solder a very thin wire to it. Be very careful. Only scrape away at that solder mask above that one trace. YOU DO NOT WANT TO BREAK THE TRACE. This is the hardest step in the whole process; the rest is cake. Also solder a wire to the 1.8v line. Connect to wire coming from the trace and the wire coming from the 1.8v to your unlock switch. Be careful, you only get one chance to do this right. Thanks again to Nick Chernyy for the picture.
Ok, time to test what you just soldered. First use the continuity check on a multimeter to make sure the wires aren't shorting to ground or to each other. Make sure your switch is in the off position. Power up your iPhone. Hopefully it didn't smoke :) Now go into minicom to tty.baseband and send a few commands, AT a few times will do. It should respond OK. Now flip your switch, the baseband should stop responding. Even when you flip it back, the baseband still shouldn't respond. Be sure your switch is off, then open another ssh and run "bbupdater -v" You can get bbupdater off the ramdisk. This should reset the baseband, and minicom should start working again. If it did this, your soldering is most likely good, and you are ready to actually start unlocking your phone!!!
If it passed the checks in step 4, congratulate yourself. You are a pro solderer. Go eat lunch. If not, don't worry yet. I must've thought I bricked my phone 100 times. First of all, to power up your phone you don't need to reconnect the case with the power button. Just connect it with USB, it'll power itself up. Secondly, don't waste time compiling minicom. Download the binary here, and termcap here.
Now, with the switch off, your baseband should be working perfectly. Here you should take a NOR dump of your phone. The dev team's NORDumper is a great way to do this. This is good to have in case something goes wrong. You can extract the firmware from this as well, which we'll get to later.
So here is the first tool release, iEraser. This erases the current firmware on your modem. Don't worry, you can always put it back with bbupdater. Here how the bootrom check works; it reads from 0xA0000030 0xA000A5A0 0xA0015C58 0xA0017370 and all these addresses must read as blank, or 0xFFFFFFFF. When you erase flash, it becoms 0xFFFFFFFF. But you can't erase those locations, because they are in the bootloader. So thats where the testpoint comes in. Pulling A17 high hardware OR's the address bus with 0x00040000(offset one because data bus is 16 bit) So the bootrom instead checks locations 0xA0040030 0xA004A5A0 0xA0045C58 0xA0047370, which are in the main firmware and can be erased. Pretty genius :)To use this tool, you need the secpack from your modems version. The erase of this section is protected. Check the modem version in Settings->About. It'll either be 3.12(1.0) or 3.14(1.0.1 and 1.0.2). You need the ramdisk which cooresponds to your version. Then go into "/usr/local/standalone/firmware" and get the ICE*.fls file. Extract 0x1a4-0x9a4 and save it in a file called secpack and place it in the same directory as the ieraser tool. Run ieraser. This should erase the modem firmware and leave you one more step on your way to unlocking.
The final tool is iUnlocker. This tool uploads a small program, "testcode.bb", to the baseband using the bootrom exploit. This program needs to be in a dir with "nor", the file you obtained in the last step. You need to have the switch on when running this program. This will download and run the code in "testcode.bb" Then the program will stop and ask to to turn off the switch. Do so. You type any character then hit enter. The nor download starts right away. When the counter reaches 0x2E4000, it is done. Run "bbupdater -v". Hopefully it will return the xgendata. If is does, the nor upload was successful.
minicom into /dev/tty.baseband. If you already used up your attempt counter, the phone should already be unlocked. If not just run 'AT+CLCK="PN",0,"00000000". That will unlock the phone for sure. Run 'AT+CLCK="PN",2'. It should finally return 0!!!Your phone is now unlocked. Exit minicom and copy the CommCenter plist back to its place. Reboot. iASign. And enjoy your unlocked iPhone.

Libya: Agreement Between NOC and Total Endorsing the Group's Entry into the Waha Concessions
Paris – Total and National Oil Corporation (NOC), with the agreement of the Government of Libya, signed today an agreement to implement Total's participation in the Waha concessions, located in the Sirte Basin in Libya. Under the terms of this agreement, Total commits to:
Assist NOC in accelerating the development of the Waha concessions by providing its technologies and expertise; by developing the North Gialo and NC 98 fields, which are expected to add production of 180,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day; and by supporting social responsibility programs carried out by NOC in the areas adjacent to oil operations. To that end, Total will finance contributions of 70M US$ at the outset, 30M US$ when North Gialo will come on stream and 30M US$ when NC 98 will come on stream.
Carry out by itself local economic development programs, for a global amount of 20M US$, over a 4 year period.
"Total is satisfied to sign this agreement with NOC, with the agreement of the Government of Libya, which definitively endorses our entry into the Waha concessions", stated Patrick Pouyanné, Chairman and CEO of Total. "We will engage resolutely with NOC and Waha Oil Company in order to invest, optimize the infrastructure and develop new reserves for the benefit of all parties and notably Libya and the Libyans. The agreement, which further extends our close cooperation with NOC, is yet another milestone in our 60-year history in the country."
On March 1, 2018, Total acquired a 16.33% working interest in the six Waha concessions by the purchase of Marathon Oil Libya Limited (MOLL), a wholly owned affiliate of the U.S.-based Marathon Oil Corporation. The Waha concessions currently produce about 350,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day (boe/d).
The acquisition gives Total access to reserves and resources in excess of 500 million barrels of oil equivalent and a significant exploration potential across the 53,000 square kilometers area covered by the concessions.
The NOC (59.18%), Total (16.33%), ConocoPhillips (16.33%) and Hess (8.16%) jointly own the Waha concessions. Waha Oil Company, wholly owned by NOC, operates the asset.
Total in Libya
Total has been present in Libya since 1954. In 2018, the Group's production in the country averaged 63,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day, from the offshore Al Jurf field (37.5%), the onshore El Sharara area (15% in former Block NC 115 and 12% in former Block NC 186), and the onshore Waha concessions (16.33%).
About Total
Total is a broad energy company that produces and markets fuels, natural gas and electricity. Our 100,000 employees are committed to better energy that is more affordable, more reliable, cleaner and accessible to as many people as possible. Active in more than 130 countries, our ambition is to become the responsible energy major.

2022 Sanford Goldstein International Tanka Contest Winners
Kathy Kituai and David Terelinck, Judges
Thank you to David Terelinck and Kathy Kituai for judging the 2022 Tanka Society of America tanka contest and for their thoughtful commentary. And a big thank you to everyone who entered for making this contest a success! We had 585 submissions, fewer than last year, but this year we allowed fewer submissions per poet, and it was again free to submit. This year's entries came from Australia, Canada, Croatia, England, Germany, India, Indonesia, Italy, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Nigeria, the Philippines, Romania, Russia, Scotland, Serbia, Switzerland, Turkey, the United Kingdom, and the United States.
—Susan Burch, TSA Contest Coordinator
Video presentation by Christine L. Villa of the 2022 winning poems
Judges' Commentary
It was an honor for both of us to have been entrusted with the task of judging the 2022 Sandford Goldstein contest for the Tanka Society of America. The process of judging the 585 poems was an enjoyable experience. We spent many hours reading tanka alone, and just as many consulting about them over the phone. We both initially arrived at our individual shortlists, which we then whittled down with much discussion and comparison of personal notes. Ultimately, we arrived at our final three placed and six honorable mention tanka.
Our criteria for choosing excellent tanka was identical. We sought poems that had personal and universal appeal. Tanka selected had an emotional impact upon us—poems that spoke to us and called us back repeatedly on subsequent readings. Of the poems chosen, all are technically proficient and have a solid structure and purposeful word usage. They are respectful of the history of this form as a "short song" and are pleasing and lyrical to the ear when read aloud. We were drawn to poems with a depth of dreaming room that revealed something new on each subsequent reading. The placed and honorable mention poems are original and avoid cliché, and they gave us new windows to look out of in order to interpret and appreciate the world in which we live.
For the poets who did not place in our selections, please do not be disheartened and keep writing. There were many outstanding poems that, under other judges, may well have featured in a different set of winners.
Our congratulations to the winners and the honorable mention poets. Again, we are deeply thankful to everyone who submitted and trusted us with poems that have meaning and relevance for them.
—Kathy Kituai and David Terelinck

This is a tanka with a universal and timeless relevance, and one both of us could relate to on a personal and professional level. So often, in the whirlwind of treatment and care of chronic and life-threating illnesses, personal essence can be lost to the diction of disease. The person can suddenly, or insidiously, become "the liver in bed 10" or perhaps just another patient on another specialist ward. They indeed become "more my illness" than a holistic individual. And as they become sicker, illness takes over where once there was independence. We feel that anyone on the chronic illness spectrum of diagnostics, specialist visits, treatments, and medical reviews would be able to relate. So too those family and loved ones who care for such individuals personally and accompany them on their illness journey.
The tanka is rich in dreaming room, as the reader is not told who this person is, or what illness they have. We do not know if this is a curable condition, chronic, or terminal. The reader can apply their own life experiences as it applies to them.
On another level, there is a considered and appropriate use of the language in the first two lines:
Musk thistle is an invasive, aggressive weed. A single plant can produce around 20,000 seeds. They do not fall far from the parent plant and thereby create a monoculture carpet. As it spreads, it becomes the perfect metaphor for an illness taking over and transforming a body. Suddenly a field can be more musk thistle than pasture. The poet achieves a subtle and effective partial rhyme with rust/musk. And rust is an example of an unhealthy plant; illness metaphored further within this poem. Interestingly Puccinia carduorum, an autoecious rust fungus from Turkey, has been evaluated for biological control of musk thistles since 1978. Medicinally, musk thistle leaves and seeds are useful as a bitter tonic to stimulate liver function. Studies suggest that it may help to promote healthy skin, reduce cholesterol, support the immune system, contribute to bone health, and improve allergic asthma symptoms. This suggests there is an alternative angle to this tanka, that the musk thistle is a metaphor for the body, and the rust is indeed the illness taking over. These fascinating facts add further layers of depth to the meaning and interpretation of this poem.
Second Place ($50)
the wet dog smell
of a small town
something i didn't come in for
finds me
Alan Peat
Biddulph, United Kingdom
This tanka is rich in evocative and descriptive imagery. Everyone who has owned a dog would immediately be able to recall that "wet dog smell" that evokes long-standing memory and sense for these judges. The metaphor is sound and is working very well.
Both judges have lived in smalls towns and are familiar with these junk shops—the dim interiors and dusty shelves with unexpected surprises around each corner. And anyone who has spent time in such shops would recall nosing around, dog-like, sniffing out a bargain. And that sudden Aha! moment when something jumps out at you; something that you were not looking for but has indeed found you. That one item you must take home because it has called to you like a longed-for memory.
The structure of this tanka is sound with a highly effective pivot in line three. Despite it not adhering to the traditional short/long/short/long/long line format, it is a high-impact tanka with the very short closing line. It is effused with the subtlety of understatement. Content echoes form the way one line follows the next, canine-like, and tracks down treasures naturally.
Third Place ($25)
the silent swoosh
of a turned page
as I scribble the shapes
of another unfinished poem
Suraja Roychowdhury
Lexington, Massachusetts
There are invariably submissions about poets penning poems in many competitions, but this tanka stood out for the expert way it was crafted. Is this night owl an actual person, or nature observed through the window? Owls swoop on the most vulnerable and timid creatures, those that live in fear of its presence. Internalized critics can be as cold-blooded as the owl as they swoop upon first efforts to write and kill creativity. The poem employs subtle alliteration with sibilants that effectively evoke sound and scene.
Whichever way this is viewed, bird, poet, or critic are seeking prey, one for sustenance in physical form, the others for penned inspiration.
What is it that keeps this poet awake? Is it the drive to write, or other matters pressing on the conscious or subconscious mind? There is the suggestion that this behavior is habitual—it is "another" poem unfinished. The dreaming room is ample with the specific word choice and the reader ponders why these poems remain incomplete.
Honorable Mentions (not ranked)
Dad's painting
of a lighthouse
all that is left
a train whistle echoes
from room to room
Kenneth Slaughter
There is an engaging synergy within this tanka between the lighthouse painting and the train whistle. Train whistles and echoes fade, much as the light from a lighthouse fades as the light revolves. One can also picture a train light piercing the darkness or a tunnel. The train whistle also emulates the mournful sound, so like the wailing that escapes our lips as we grieve.
Time is stilled in this tanka, and it paints a picture of loss and grief. A passing era will not be recaptured. There is an intangibility here with things that cannot be held: light, sound, grief. The only physical memory of the narrator's father is a painting. But in this dreaming room, the reader does not know if it is simply a painting owned by the father, or one the man painted himself? And why is this painting all that remains? The pivot line, "all that is left," earmarks the fact that this is no mere painting. What significance does it hold?
Structurally, the pivot in line three enhances the appeal.
no breeze
to awaken the chimes
again, the boy asks
if his cat is still dead
A fine tanka that grapples with a child's first experience of loss. There is such weight in the use of the word "again" in line four. It underscores the difficult reality for the boy—and parent—in navigating this grief and loss. How hard it is to accept this when you love a person or pet. And this is not surprising when children are exposed to cartoons, video games, and other media where someone who is shot or dies gets up and carries on.
The tanka opens with silence, no breeze through the wind chimes. There will be no more purring from the cat, no more meowing for dinner. The silence of death and loss permeates the poem. There are echoes of the human condition with this tanka where someone does not like the answer to their question, so they ask it repeatedly, hoping for a different outcome. We feel sadness in knowing the child will never get the answer he seeks.
A strong and powerful tanka with a highly effective third-line pivot.
they sing from balconies
from underground shelters
and bombed-out churches
deep beneath the ocean
the rumble of whale song
Margaret Chula
A topical and relevant tanka that speaks to our times. Beautifully written with a lyrical musicality to it that builds line by line to a satisfactory conclusion, very in keeping with the theme. A poem where content echoes form. It is technically proficient with subtle alliteration.
Given the devastating war in Ukraine, the effects of the Coronavirus pandemic, and increasing global unrest, this tanka is one of healing and connection. Who can forget the images of people singing from their balconies when in Covid quarantine? And the Ukraine people seeking sanctuary in shelters, and those tragically buried beneath the rubble of bombed shopping centers and places of worship? And underscoring this is the rumble of whale song. These majestic creatures who themselves have been targeted, hunted, and killed. There is a constant rumble in the world today and we can see and feel it. This tanka links the human condition with nature and brings it home expertly in five lines.
no access,
along the path . . .
a crop so heavy
the mandarin tree leans
on the shoulder of my fence
Elaine Riddell
This tanka illustrates the burden of a fruitful bounty. The mandarin tree is so heavy with a ripe crop that it blocks access to the walker. It is a lesson to us that even when we are blossoming, we can be weighted down. We can be overburdened at times in life. We can have too much that it becomes difficult to navigate the simpler pleasures in life.
Specificity matters in this tanka, with the use of "mandarin." Traditionally this is a fruit or fortune and wealth. It makes the reader ponder if the wealth is a burden—is the person too rich to enjoy life? One thinks of people who win millions of dollars in lotteries, and how this changes their life—not always for the better.
This poem is lyrical and there is wonderful phrasing in the imagery of the mandarins leaning upon the "shoulder" of the fence for support.
"Sorry about the shit
hitting the fan," he says
outside the courtroom
like it wasn't his
and he didn't aim
Tim Cremin
A very contemporary tanka on a relevant theme for today. It is not often we read tanka with spoken dialogue. In this case it works extremely well with the edgy subject material. This tanka is topical and holds much relevance in the wake of the #MeToo movement, and the recent defamation trial played out in the courts and social media by Johnny Depp and Amber Heard. In the Depp-Heard trial we saw much slung, and from both sides. And it was delivered with deliberate aim.
Of interest is the strength and pointed nature of the closing two lines. The narrator feels aggrieved for what has been said, and how it was said for targeted impact.
This poem is rich in dreaming room as the reader has no idea what the litigation concerned, who instigated it, and what the ultimate outcome was. But it is a tanka that evokes empathy, no matter whose side you happen to align with.
jolted awake
by the screen door
slamming
on a house demolished
a lifetime ago
John Tehan
Bourne, Massachusetts
This tanka opens with an innocuous concrete act and imagery—someone being awaked from sleep by the slamming of a screen door. But the denouement in line four twists this tanka into something deeper, into darker territory. The reader learns, in the closing two lines, that this screen door is slamming in someone's dream or nightmare. It is not the screen door of their current abode. We do not know who is having this dream, but it is significant. The narrator is not simply awaked; they are jolted awake. And the tanka alludes to many unanswered questions such as what happened in this house? Whom did it happen to? What was this significant trauma that causes it to surface in dream memory many years, perhaps decades, later—"a lifetime ago," in fact? And the revelation that the house has been demolished serves to emphasize the fear and emotions that linger from this house.
This tanka is a prime example of the artful use of dreaming room in a tanka. Much is suggested, but never stated outright. And all the emotion is inferred for the reader to tease out.
