We're crazy about crafts here at Mommy Poppins. We've covered a ton of New York City spots where kids can get creative, from beading to personalized books, textiles to ceramics. So we were really excited when we heard about Park Slope's Taro's Origami Studio, which opened in November 2011. Since Park Slope is our neighborhood of the month, it seemed like the perfect time to share our review of this origami-only spot.
I recently stopped by Taro's Origami Studio with my preschool-age son and a couple of his friends. The space was opened by origami master Taro Yaguchi, who learned the traditional Japanese art of folding paper from his grandfather. Since it's not specifically aimed at kids, I wasn't sure how family-friendly it would be. However, aside from being located on the second floor, which means it's a pain for strollers, it's a great place for the right kind of kid.
The studio is beautifully decorated with paper animals, dragons, and even fire trucks and cars. Kids and adults can learn origami with help from the staff, or by following the directions on a number of touch-screen tablets. The boys loved using these, and were most excited about making (with mom's help) 3-D paper model spaceships. After folding the figures, they decorated their pieces with stamps and paint.
Folding the paper can be difficult and requires a lot of focus and patience, so I would recommend taking school-age kids who are interested in origami. The boys got restless after about a half hour, so we grabbed a couple of pre-printed origami kits of cars, trucks and trains and headed home. The studio also sells Japanese gift-wrapping paper and will offer Japanese-style gift-wrapping, called tsutsumi, soon.
If you'd like to try it out, you can hit the Drop in & Try out Corner whenever the studio is open to the public. The current rate is $10 per person for 30 minutes, which admittedly, isn't a cheap playdate. Group rates are also available. If you're interested in more formal training, after-school classes for children 5 to 12 are also offered. Drop-ins are available if there's space. It's also a lovely, light-filled spot for children's parties.
Taro's Origami Studio is located at 95 Seventh Avenue at Union Street on the second floor. Open Tuesday-Saturday, 11am-6pm.

José Nasazzi Yarza (24 March 1901 – 17 June 1968) was a Uruguayan footballer who played as a defender. He captained his country when they won the inaugural FIFA World Cup in 1930.

Career

He was born in Bella Vista, Montevideo to Giuseppe, an Italian immigrant from Esino Lario (near Lecco), and María Jacinta Yarza from the Basque Country of Spain.

Nasazzi is regarded by many as Uruguay's greatest ever football player. He was known as El Gran Mariscal ("The Great Marshal"), and had already won the gold medal at the 1924 and 1928 Olympic Games, as well as the South American Championship in 1923, 1924, and 1926, by the time of the first World Cup. On individual level, he was selected as best player at FIFA World Cup 1930 and twice (1923 and 1935) at South American Championship (the predecessor of Copa America).

During the 1930 FIFA World Cup tournament, Uruguay's only serious rivals were their neighbors Argentina. After defeating Peru and Romania in the first round, Uruguay defeated Yugoslavia 6–1 in the semi-finals to set up a final against Argentina. Although his team were 2–1 behind at half-time, Nasazzi rallied his teammates in the second half, leading them to a 4–2 victory and making himself the first captain to lift the Jules Rimet Trophy.

Although Uruguay refused to defend their title in 1934, Nasazzi won the South American Championship again (in 1935), before retiring in 1937 with 41 international appearances. Throughout his career at Nacional, he played 110 matches and scored 10 goals, including friendlies.

Nasazzi's Baton
Nasazzi's Baton is an unofficial title named after José similar to the Unofficial Football World Championship. It is said to have been held by Uruguay after the first World Cup, and subsequently to have been taken over by any team to beat the holders over 90 minutes in a full international match.

I was in the mood for some Hawaiian comfort food. It would be deluxe mac salad for me. In Hawaii, Mac salad is mainly overcooked macaroni, shredded carrot, mixed with a mayo mix. Everyone has a different recipe. Mine is simply mayo with mustard, dash of Hawaiian salt. Now what make it deluxe? When there is potatoes in with the mac, that's deluxe. According to one of the Aunties, back in the days on the plantation, potatoes were imported in. Only the plantation owner could enjoy the classic potato salad. The workers loved the flavor, but could afford the potatoes. The local adapted the recipe by putting in overcooked macaroni, that would have the texture of potatoes! How smart!!! For those special occasions they would put a potato or 2 into the salad as a special treat! Now you know the story. The locals love the salad so much and it is only of the stable in any plate lunch in Hawaii, you will get 2 scoop of rice, 1 scoop of mac salad!!
With my new "day" job, I didn't sign up for CSA this year. I knew I would have issue making it to the pick up point every week. I missed my weekly surprise greatly. However this also brought me to venture more to different farm stands. I was on my way home from the country and discovered a small farm stand next to a potato farm. I picked up some beautiful potatoes and green bean. The potatoes are so flavorful. I am going back to pick up more in the next few weeks and cellar them for the winter. The green beans are very vibrant too. I want to make something that will highlight their freshness vs taking it away.
Remember I just told you about those beautiful green beans. They are calling me. I am inspired to make variable of a Nicoise inspired salad here. It's very simple. The protein here is a simple cut up rotisserie chicken breast from the store, you can use cooked tuna or to keep it vegetarian, you can mix tofu and eggs together. There is not much cooking here and you can make it ahead and toss it together before serving.
1 cup of fresh t green beans or asparagus. Cleaned and cut into 1.5" pieces. Quickly blanched and drained.
1 fully cooked rotisserie chicken breast, cut into 1" cubes.
In a large bowl, toss potato with green beans.
Add Salad green mixture. Toss well.
Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cover and set ahead in the fridge to chill and let the flavor blend.
Line the serving plate with lettuce leaves, place the salad on top.
Garnish with black sesame seeds, fried shallot and a sprinkle of Hawaiian salt!


Utica, N.Y. – What's it like to be homeless in Utica during the winter? More than 200 Utica area residents took a one mile walk in 15 degree temperatures Saturday morning to raise awareness about homelessness and to feel just a little bit of what it might be like to be homeless and wandering the streets.
Many of those who participated in the walk on Saturday have raised money in recent months to donate to the Utica Rescue Mission to help the mission continue providing the many services it provides throughout the year, including its homeless shelter on Rutger St.
Besides Rescue Mission officials, also leading the walk were Utica Mayor Robert Palmieri and Oneida County Sheriff Robert Maciol.
Along the one mile walk, a walk past the new West Street Apartments, Utica Rescue Mission permanent housing with affordable rents designed to help get people off the streets and on the path to a better life. Haid says the first tenants are expected to move in in Mid-March.
If you would like to make a donation to the Utica Rescue Mission, you do so by sending a check in the mail or dropping one off at the Utica Rescue Mission offices at 212 Rutger St. or for more information, call the mission at (315) 735-1645.


The fourth annual BNP Paribas Women Entrepreneur Program at Stanford University wrapped up in July, and we were able to meet and interact with another inspiring group of business owners, including Tina Woodside.
Tina is the president of Earth Basics Contracting Corp., which is based in Anaheim, California. Her firm specializes in earthwork, excavation, heavy general engineering, 3D site modeling, land clearing, and more. The insights she shared about her career in the Q&A below fascinate me, and I hope she inspires many female engineers.
Q: You are president and majority owner of an established company. How did your journey as an entrepreneur begin? A: I honestly feel that my journey as an entrepreneur began at the early age of 12, when I sat at the table with family members discussing the visions of becoming a petroleum engineer (this was prior to my 8th grade graduation). I went on to become nominated to the Naval and Merchant Marine Academies out of high school. Obliged yet inquisitive, I agreed to fulfill a full-ride scholarship and major in civil engineering. I was raised in a hard-working family environment and I wanted nothing but success in my future. Possibly entrepreneurship was instilled in me.
Over the span of your entrepreneurial career, what one or two things were really helpful in shaping your success?
As much as I would love to say that I had one or two great things that helped shape my success, it was really such a larger picture than that. There were many risk-taker opportunities that helped to grow the business; for example, incorporating in Texas while the Great Recession was going strong in California and setting up purchasing power to buy over 45 pieces of equipment. You also have to have passion for your business, which leads to positive, strategic growth, and never be afraid to learn from your mistakes. It is here where you capitalize on the positive outcomes; acknowledge and successfully move the ball forward.
What surprised you the most about the Women Entrepreneur Program (WEP) at Stanford?
I was completed surprised at how 40 women involuntarily became one team! We worked together, prudently helping one another grow into better personal and professional human beings.
What about the WEP experience do you think will help you and your business the most in the years to come?
The Women Entrepreneur Program allowed me to perceive my business from the "20,000 foot" level. It's where I can now plan strategically, think more clearly, drive outlined expectations, and instill kind-heartedness within our organization for the company's prosperous longevity.
What two or three tips would you give to young women who are on the path to entrepreneurship?
Oh wow! The first tip I would say to new women entrepreneurs is follow your passion. Listen – but not only listen — and learn from your peers. Surround yourself with good people. Love what you do (everyday) and stay passionately firm about your beliefs – the gut says a lot about who we are and eventually where we'll go!

The importance of cheating
Should you remarry an ex husband?
Like a lot of other girls who work as London escorts, I did eventually leave the London escorts service from https://londonxcity.com/escorts/ that I was working for and marry another guy. His name was Andy, and I did used to date him at London escorts. I liked all of my dates, but Andy was the only guy that I had fallen in love. It was not instant. Rather it was that kind of love that sneaked up on me and took me by surprise.
Anyway, to cut a long story short, it turned out that Andy and I had a lot in common. We spent hours talking on our London escorts dinner dates and in general, we could not get enough of each other. One night, when we were out at a business function with some of the other girls from my London escorts service attending as well, Andy asked me to marry him. I was a bit taken back, but at the same time, I must admit that I was pleased as punch.
I had become convinced that Andy was the right man for me, and I could not get enough of him. Whenever he came to see me at London escorts, my heart would raise, and I could feel myself getting really excited. None of the other gentlemen I date at London escorts ever made me feel like that, and I just took it as meaning that there was something about Andy. We got married the same week I left London escorts, and I was over the moon.
Most of the gentlemen who date London escorts are busy and may not be so good at personal relationships. Andy was not any different, and I soon started to feel neglected. It was a little bit like I was just his trophy wife and he only wheeled me out on special occasions. Sure, it was great to live in a nice house, have a personal credit card and lots of fancy jewelry. But it was not really what I was after, and in the end we split up. It turned out that Andy did not really have time for w wife in his life.
We lost touch for a couple of years, and although I never went back to London escorts, we seemed to live totally separate lives. It was not until about three years after our divorce, I had that Andy had suffered a heart attack. Despite everything I felt that I wanted to see him, and a couple of days later, I met up with a very much changed Andy. It was clear that this man was finally ready to commit to spending time with his partner, and his attitude to life had changed. We sort of fell in love again and it was not long before we got remarried, and finally got around to starting a family. Better late than never, and it goes to prove, that sometimes second time around can really work out for you. Perhaps life is just a matter of timing.

From: SO YOU WANT TO MAKE MOVIES
My Life As An Independent Film Producer
by Sidney Pink
(After the success of THE CASTILIAN, Pink produced PHANTOM OF THE FERRIS WHEEL, aka PYRO, aka WHEEL OF FIRE, directed by Julio Coll, which did well. Next came ROMEO AND DELILAH, aka DELILAH, aka OPERACION DALILA, directed by screenwriter Luis de los Arcos, which turned out so badly that Pink could not find a distributor for it. In desperation, Pink needed to make money and an opportunity to make commercials for Pepsi in Spain for the Spanish speaking market rescued him.)
I still didn't have enough money to develop any further projects and was almost at the end of my rope when I got lucky again. On one of my visits to Rome I met Vittorio Annibaldi, who suggested a coproduction between his Italian company and our Esamer. It was a great idea, but since neither of us had any money, it never got off the ground. Now he called me with the news he had concluded a deal with an important Italian distribution company to make a Western, but he had no knowledge of how or where to start. He assumed that as an American producer, I would know how to make a Western feature, and he needed my expertise.
Although I had learned a great deal on the Tex Ritter sound stages, I really didn't know too much about the production aspect, but I was able to bluff my way through his avid questioning. I had one little problem: I needed $50,000 (3 million pesetas), a very substantial sum in Spain, and I had no idea where to find the money.
Then I met Jose Lopez Moreno, a young roly-poly Spaniard with a strong desire to become a film producer. Jose, or Pepe as he was called, worked around the fringes of showbiz in Spain, but he had never been involved in anything really significant. Although he had no money, he purportedly was able to find folks who would invest in projects that promised tremendous returns. Pepe introduced me to Gregorio Sacristan, the head of the Spanish division of the Mole Richardson Equipment Leasing Company. Mole Richardson, a London-based company, was one of the largest suppliers of motion-picture equipment, with branches all over the world including Hollywood, California.
I met with Gregorio, who was very interested in getting involved with Spanish-American coproduction. Sacristan was a thin, nervous Spaniard of obvious Moorish ancestry. He was swarthy, with coal-black eyes which (almost like Las Vegas dice) darted about nervously. He always wore a worried expression, which I later learned came from a severe gastric ulcer. He was a complete workaholic, and his office hours were all day every day, including Sundays. Gregorio tried to play it tough, but he was really a pussy cat. I am sure part of the problem causing his chronic ulcer was his desire to be a ruthless tycoon that clashed constantly with his innate inability to take advantage of anyone. Gregorio was too heavily endowed with the milk of human kindness, which others around him constantly curdled.
Tony Recoder was the attorney of record for Mole Richardson (it seemed he represented every American of British company in Spain), so he did nothing to discourage the potential wedding of Esamer and Mole Richardson of Spain. I think Tony Recoder was possibly the greediest man I have ever known. His insatiable ambition was not soley for money and prestige; to him it was of extreme importance to be involved in every deal made in the Spanish movie world, a goal he came awfully close to reaching. Tony was about five feet ten, with a small mustache that was annoying in its precision and neatness. (It seemed to have exactly the same number of hairs on each side of his nose.) His reputation was no worse than the average Spanish lawyer, but in contrast to how I felt about Luis Sanchis, I never really trusted Tony. His hair was black and he was a good-looking Latin type. I am sure the ladies loved him, but I never liked Tony.
Gregorio and I, together with Tony and Pepe, negotiated for weeks with little or no success until another stroke of luck hit us. The legendary Buster Keaton was in Spain shooting A FUNNY THING HAPPENED ON THE WAY TO THE FORUM, the case of which included almost every great comic of the era. Pepsi-Cola America was introducing its new drink, Bubble-Up, to compete in the non-cola market dominated by Seven-Up. The goal was to launch the product with a huge comedy campaign, and someone in the creative department came up with the idea of using Buster Keaton as the personality to introduce it.
(Pink made the commercial, loved working with Buster, and had some money for the movie project.)
Now that I was able to approach Mole Richardson with a cash participation of our own, we made a deal. Mole Richardson would invest their materials and cash up to 5 million pesetas, while we were to put up the equivalent of $25,000 in either actors or cash. The film had to be a Western. We were to sign an internationally recognizable name as our lead and provide the director. Annibaldi got distribution rights to Europe and we retained rights to the rest of the world. Total budget for the film was $200,000 (14 million pesetas), large for a Spanish film.

John Moore: Sew it seams
By John Moore Columnist
Wyndi Veigel
My mom used to make our clothes. This was true for most families we knew.
It was the mid-60s, and the majority of moms stayed home. Only the dad worked. There was one income, so there weren't a lot of extras. We had one car. We bought little and grew much of our food. Store-bought items weren't the norm.
People who had mostly store-bought items were considered rich.
My mom had a Singer machine and Simplicity and McCall's sewing patterns stacked high. She sewed a lot so that we had nice things to wear.
And she was great at it. I remember someone seeing a new shirt she'd made that I was wearing and them saying to my mom, "Mary, that's pretty. It looks store-bought."
The term, "store-bought" was high praise.
As a kid, I just assumed that every other kid's mom made their clothes. They made pants, shirts, dresses, and more. In our family, the moms and grandmas all sewed.
Mostly, I remember my mom making me shirts. I wore jeans from Sears, so shirts were about all I needed. But she made a lot of dresses for my sister. Especially at Easter.
My mom's mom also made things for us and the other grandchildren. And there were a lot of grandchildren.
My dad's mom also sewed. She made my mom's wedding dress.
Sewing involves math and a ton of intuitiveness. I can't even imagine the patience and skill it takes to measure a person and make a nice piece of clothing that precisely fits.
But, women did. And they did it often and they did it well. They did it because they wanted their family to look nice, but mostly because we didn't have the money to buy something as nice as they could make.
But inexpensive, imported clothing and moms joining the workforce changed things.
Clothes became more affordable and families had the money to buy them.
Sewing began to wane.
By the late 70s, young people no longer were interested in learning the skill and sewing machines began to frequently appear at yard sales.
I married someone who not only learned to sew — she still does.
She made her daughter's wedding dress, but clothing isn't on her list of items to make that often.
An entire room of our house is filled with cabinets full of bolts of fabric, drawers full of thread, a cutting table, two sewing machines, and a large TV I installed for her (she likes to watch "Hometown" and "The Pioneer Woman" while she sews).
She and her church group make quilts for needy children.
My mom stopped sewing years ago, but she still has her machine and several patterns. This includes the 65-cent pattern my grandmother used to make my mom's wedding dress.
During the pandemic, there were a number of news reports and social media posts from people who, possibly out of boredom or maybe curiosity, rediscovered some of the old skills.
Items such as cookware and Tupperware, sewing, and craft systems spiked in sales. People were stuck at home, so they learned something new.
Which was actually something old.
The pandemic taught our country a lot. Specifically, how much we had become reliant on China. From our medications to electronics, appliances, and clothing, we realized we had allowed ourselves to become vulnerable.
So, maybe something good will linger after this virus has gone the way of smallpox and the plague.
Maybe, we'll have learned some of the ways of old. And maybe one day soon, the statement, "That looks store-bought!" will once again be a compliment.

A comprehensive review of all spending by Bath and North East Somerset Council has been launched by the authority's new Conservative administration.
The review is taking place in response to the need for the Council to find an estimated £38 million worth of savings over the next four years as a result of continuing reductions to the amount of grant the Council receives from Government, as well as demographic pressures from an ageing population.
This figure of £38 million is even larger than the £32 million worth of savings the Council had to find in the previous four years, and is equivalent to around 16% of all the Council's day-to-day spending, on top of the savings already achieved.
Conservatives have said that the aim of the spending review will be to maximise the level of efficiency savings that can be made within the Council and put the authority on a sound financial footing for the long-term. However, they have warned that the scale of the savings required will mean difficult decisions will have to be taken, and that it is inevitable that some services will have to be reduced.
Once complete, the review will form the basis of a four-year financial plan for the authority, due to be agreed by Councillors next February.
"The Council is going to have to find an even larger number of savings in the next four years than it did in the past four. Closing this £38 million gap will be a huge task and will mean some very tough choices have to be made about which services to prioritise.
Flowers blooming in Parade Gardens. How might it and other parks be affected by cut-backs.
"To put the scale of the challenge in context, £38 million is more than the entire amount the Council spends on Children's Services each year.
"In order to meet this challenge, we have started work on a comprehensive review of all Council spending – building the Council's budget from the ground up so that we can put B&NES on a sound financial footing.
The results of the spending review will inform the Cabinet's budget proposals, to will be published early next year.
Virtual Museum note: The Virtual Museum of Bath declares an interest in heritage sites under the Council's control. One wonders what plans they have for letting other people run things like the town's parks, the Lawn in Queen Square and even the Victoria Art Gallery. Maybe the Guildhall itself will be off-loaded to a private concern? How will libraries be affected and how much more can they cut back on refuse collection and street cleaning – already two areas that could do with MORE investment.
That\s a great, great shame! I do hope that the cut backs are able to be found from sources that are not in as much need as others!

15 weeks (yesterday). We find out gender next Thursday. So far everything is going good. Morning sickness has eased up a bit, now I just have a really sensitive gag reflex, so any weird smell makes me sick (which is getting really tiresome). Blood pressure is still doing great.

POAL - New Zealand's largest maritime event returns to Auckland's waterfront for a sixth year of seaside fun!
New Zealand's largest maritime event returns to Auckland's waterfront for a sixth year of seaside fun!
Ports of Auckland's SeePort Festival is a three-day celebration of Auckland City's beautiful waterfront and rich maritime heritage. The family-friendly festival is one of New Zealand's largest free events, returning in 2019 for a sixth year of seaside fun.
Hot on the heels of a record-breaking 2018 event, which saw over 70,000 people visit the port over the long weekend, 2019 is set to be bigger and better. Expect to see Captain Cook and Marsden wharves transformed into a bustling summer carnival with rides, simulators, virtual reality, tours and food aplenty from hot dogs to hāngi and everything in-between.
The Royal New Zealand Navy returns this year as the Ports of Auckland's major supporting partner with a number of capabilities on display throughout the weekend.
Sections of HMNZS Canterbury will be open to the public to learn about this key integrated defence capability on international operations and exercises, and the role she also plays in delivering humanitarian assistance and disaster relief both at home and to our Pacific Island neighbours when called upon. The crew of Canterbury are looking forward to meeting visitors and answering any questions they have.
The Navy will also have on display high-speed Rigid Hulled Inflatable Boats and in-air and on-ground Seasprite helicopter demonstrations.
The Navy's commitment to SeePort Festival this year as supporting partner is the first of a three year agreement between them and the Ports of Auckland.
Across the three days, festival visitors can enjoy activities, displays and tours including sailings on the William C Daldy steam tugboat and the Maritime Museum's Ted Ashby. They will be joined by a number of their waterfront partners and neighbours including; KiwiRail, New Zealand Customs, Holcim Cement, Coastguard, Auckland Rescue Helicopter Trust, Scouts, Sanford, Spirit of Adventure Trust and more. Les Mills Britomart will hit the wharf for the first time on Auckland Anniversary Day to bring some of their renowned fitness classes outdoors.
Also joining the festival for the first time, the Auckland Busker's Festival will be showcasing an unmissable line-up of international and local performers every afternoon from right inside the Quay Street gates. Music lovers, rejoice! The main stage will also host winners of the 2018 RNZ's Battle of the Cover Bands, White Chapel Jak, amongst up and coming local talent.
An on-site bar will open daily, allowing festival-goers to enjoy a refreshing beverage from the heart of the wharf for the first time in SeePort history.
As the sun sets on the Sunday evening, visitors will be treated once again to a stellar performance from the Auckland Symphony Orchestra and iconic Kiwi vocalists; The Ladykillers. The concert will end with a bang as fireworks are set off high above the Waitematā Harbour.
WHEN: Saturday, 26 January – Monday, 28 January, 9am to 4pm. The SeePort Sunset Symphony & Fireworks will take place from 6pm on Sunday, 27 January.
WHERE: Captain Cook and Marsden wharves, opposite Britomart on Quay Street. Enter the wharves from the Captain Cook gates on Quay Street, or through the gate connecting neighbouring Queens Wharf.
WHY: Ports of Auckland belongs to the people of Auckland. SeePort Festival allows Aucklanders the chance to discover the port, their role in the community and how it works alongside their partners to bring us the goods we use every day.
BOOKINGS: SeePort is a free-entry event. Rides, tours and activities are also free with the exception of Heletranz helicopter rides, William C Daldy and Ted Ashby sailings, and Capacity & Planning Tower tours. Helicopter rides can only be booked at the event. Bookings for other tours and sailings can be made in advance online, see www.seeport.co.nz for details.
MEDIA: We welcome media coverage prior to and during the event, including interview opportunities with Ports of Auckland CEO, Tony Gibson. Please contact Alexandra Ropati (contact details below).

Now you can apply your baby pictures or images on blanket. This is like superb photo memories for your nearest people. You can produce a poncho out of the blanket. And create a hole in the middle of blanket that would fit the head of the baby. You can wear the quilt, while the baby is playing. Additionally , you can also improve the usefulness within the blanket by attracting several small blankets for it to resemble a small carpet. Or you can easily have this carpet thrown in the grass when your friends are visiting to your home. Truly speaking, it appears to be really good on the floor. On the other side, when you are out for camping, take a wool blanket to prevent cold oxygen, this is an excellent method for snugness. When you are sleeping in the car, you should use it for comfort. Additionally , this is easy to wash simply by machine or hand rinse. Actually the manufacturer uses superior quality color for it. So the blanket will never fade after repeated wash.

\section{Introduction}
Dielectric Laser Acceleration (DLA) provides the highest gradients among structure based particle accelerators by utilizing the GV/m femtosecond laser damage thresholds of nanostructured dielectric materials. After the first proposals~\cite{Shimoda1962ProposalMaser,Lohmann1962ElectronWaves}, it took 50 years for the first experimental DLA demonstrations to be realized ~\cite{Peralta2013DemonstrationMicrostructure.,Breuer2013DielectricEffect}. Recently, the gradients have been further pushed to 690~MeV/m~\cite{Wootton2016DemonstrationPulses} and 850~MeV/m~\cite{Cesar2018High-fieldAccelerator} for relativistic electrons and to 133~MeV/m~\cite{Yousefi2019DielectricReflector} and 370~MeV/m~\cite{Leedle2015LaserStructure} for their low-energy counterparts.
While the relativistic experiments use an RF photoinjector and sometimes multiple RF-preaccelerator stages, the subrelativistic experiments require an ultra-low emittance nanotip-emitter~\cite{Ehberger2015HighlyTip,Feist2017UltrafastBeam,Tafel2019FemtosecondTips,AndrewCeballos2019SiliconAccelerators, Hirano2020AAccelerator} and an electrostatic preaccelerator to obtain suitable electron beams for injection into DLAs. Especially at these low injection energies, a beam confinement and bunching scheme~\cite{Naranjo2012StableHarmonics,Niedermayer2018Alternating-PhaseAcceleration,Niedermayer2020ThreedimensionalAccelerators} is required to scale DLAs up to MeV energy gain for various applications~\cite{Zewail20104DMicroscopy,Egerton2015OutrunElectrons,Morimoto2018DiffractionTrains}.

With unbunched electron beam injection, the DLA energy spectra show the typical symmetric shoulder modulation~\cite{Peralta2013DemonstrationMicrostructure.,Wootton2016DemonstrationPulses, Yousefi2019DielectricReflector, Sapra2020On-chipAccelerator}, which can be analytically modeled using probability theory~\cite{Egenolf2019AnalyticalAccelerators}.
Combined with on-chip ballistic bunching, net-acceleration and steering in a downstream DLA stage was recently demonstrated~\cite{Black2019NetAccelerator,Schonenberger2019GenerationAcceleration}. However, the large energy spread created in the buncher stage quickly dissolves the microbunch phase coherence. In this Letter, we demonstrate an optical modulator-demodulator that compresses first the bunch length and then the energy spread. The resulting simultaneously ultra-short and low energy spread electron pulses can be captured in a potential well ("bucket") and accelerated in a lossless and scalable fashion.

At low injection energies from typical nanotip electron sources ~\cite{Ehberger2015HighlyTip,Feist2017UltrafastBeam,Hirano2020AAccelerator}, the Alternating Phase Focusing (APF) scheme~\cite{Niedermayer2018Alternating-PhaseAcceleration} is well suited to confine and accelerate the beam, since it is flexible in focusing cell design and economic in field strength to acceleration gradient conversion, which constitutes the performance bottleneck of a scalable accelerator~\cite{Niedermayer2020ThreedimensionalAccelerators}.
However, as compared to constant longitudinal focusing~\cite{Niedermayer2017DesigningChip}, which does not provide any transverse confinement, the temporal acceptance of APF is slightly smaller. The structure we present here is an APF-based buncher, which is suitable to inject into an APF-based accelerator, due to matching of both the sub-fs bunch length and the low energy spread.

Attosecond pulses of subrelativistic electron beams can be created by ballistic bunching~\cite{Niedermayer2017DesigningChip,Morimoto2018DiffractionTrains,Black2019NetAccelerator,Schonenberger2019GenerationAcceleration}, i.e., a sinusoidal energy modulation  $\Delta W$ is turned to bunching after reaching the longitudinal focal length of
\begin{equation}
    L=\frac{\lambda_g \beta^2\gamma^3 m_e c^2}{2\pi \Delta W},
\end{equation}
where $\lambda_g$ is the period length of the modulation, $\beta$ is the injection velocity in units of $c$, $\gamma$ is the mass factor, and $m_e c^2$ is the electron rest energy. Note that if the modulation is produced by a laser of wavelength $\lambda$ in a DLA grating, the Wideroe resonance condition $\lambda_g=\beta\lambda$ has to be fulfilled, where $\lambda_g$ is the grating period.

The motion towards the focus is linear only in the vicinity of the fixed point(s) and strongly nonlinear elsewhere. Thus, the longer the dispersive drift after the modulation, the more irreversible longitudinal emittance growth is produced. Moreover, since the modulation is essentially longitudinal focusing, according to Earnshaw's theorem~\cite{Earnshaw1842OnEther} transverse defocusing comes along with it. The idea of the setup presented here is to introduce a grating segment which removes these drawbacks by removing the modulation after a certain length of drift, which is shorter than the focal length. The final longitudinal focus is then reached with a significantly smaller energy spread and transversely focused.

\begin{figure}[t]

\includegraphics[width=0.49\textwidth]{./Fig1}
\caption{Scanning electron microscope image of the structure. The inset shows an enlarged top-view of the buncher stage with the designed distribution of the synchronous phase.}
\label{Picture}
\end{figure}

The phase acceptance of a scalable APF-DLA depends on the choice of the synchronous phase of the accelerator, i.e., in an overall design one has to trade off temporal acceptance and resulting average gradient. At $\pm60^\circ$ off-crest, where the gradient is half the peak gradient, the full temporal acceptance in a longitudinal focus is about 5\% of an optical cycle~\cite{Niedermayer2018Alternating-PhaseAcceleration}, which is $\delta t=330$~as for the 1980~nm driver laser we use here. The matched energy spread in an APF lattice is (see~\cite{Niedermayer2018Alternating-PhaseAcceleration} supplemental Eq.~18)
\begin{equation}
    \delta W=m_ec^2 \beta^3\gamma^3\frac{c}{ \hat\beta_L} \delta t,
    \label{Eq:Mathcing}
\end{equation}
where $\hat\beta_L$ is the longitudinal Courant-Snyder beta-function at the beginning of the accelerator. The minima of $\hat\beta_L$ can reach down to $10-20~\mu$m, depending on the laser amplitude on which the APF accelerator is driven. At a reference energy of 57~keV, the resulting full energy spread acceptance is 286-572~eV and can be filled by an injector as presented here.

\label{Fig:LongPhaseSpace}
\end{figure}
Numerical simulations in DLAtrack6D~\cite{Niedermayer2017BeamScheme} are performed to describe the nonlinear dynamics of the experiment. The design principles can however be understood from simple analytic considerations. In each DLA cell, the energy gain is given by
\begin{equation}
    \Delta W= q e_1 \lambda_g \cosh\left(\frac{\omega y}{\beta\gamma c}\right) \sin(\phi_P-\phi_S)
    \label{Egain}
\end{equation}
where $\omega=2\pi c/\lambda$, $q=-e$ is the electron charge, $\phi_P=\omega\Delta t$ is the particle phase and $\phi_S$ is the synchronous phase. The laser field amplitude is characterized by the synchronous mode coefficient
$e_1$, which we design to be 50~MV/m. Note that $qe_1$ is the on-crest gradient in the center of the channel. During $n$ DLA cells, the phase of an off-energy particle will slip as~\cite{Niedermayer2017BeamScheme}
\begin{equation}
    \Delta\phi_P = \frac{2\pi n}{\beta\gamma^3 m_ec^2}\Delta W.
    \label{PhiP}
\end{equation}
By means of a fractional period drift of $l_d$, the synchronous phase can be changed as
\begin{equation}
    \Delta \phi_S=2\pi\frac{l_d}{\lambda_g},
    \label{PhiS}
\end{equation}
while the change in the particle phase is negligible due to the shortness of this drift. We use $l_d=\lambda_g/2$ here, which leads to a $\pi$-shift of $\phi_S$; see the inset of Fig.~\ref{Picture} for the design of the synchronous phase and Fig.~\ref{Fig:LongPhaseSpace} for the longitudinal phase space evolution as computed by DLAtrack6D. The bunch profiles and energy spectra in identical arbitrary units are plotted in Fig.~\ref{Bunchlength}.
\begin{figure}[b]
\centering
\includegraphics[width=0.45\textwidth]{./Fig3a.png}
\includegraphics[width=0.45\textwidth]{./Fig3b.png}
\caption{Simulated bunch lengths (top panel) and energy spreads (bottom panel) along the structure. The arrival time difference $\Delta t=\phi_P/\omega$ is plotted for one laser period $T=\lambda/c=6.6$\,fs. The energy spectrum (h) is one cell into the second stage; the difference from (g) is mainly due to clipping particles at the edge of stage (2).}
\label{Bunchlength}
\end{figure}
The combination of modulation and demodulation enables the device design as shown in Fig.~\ref{Picture}, which modulates the beam first, then transports it from (b) to (f), where alternating modulation/demodulation is employed for the purpose of transverse confinement.
Then the segment (f)-(g) demodulates the beam, such that only a small residual energy spread remains. This remaining small energy spread finally compresses the already prebunched beam to a minimum bunch length roughly at the beginning of the second stage (h).
Simulation predicts that the bunch at point (h) is on the order of 230~as in length, with an energy spread of about 237~eV, i.e., this bunch would be suitable to inject into a scalable APF accelerator (cf. Eq.~\ref{Eq:Mathcing}). We only implement one segment of $28\,\mu$m length as the second stage here, which extends up to point (i). A slightly longer second stage would reduce the output energy spread to 165~eV at point (j), but this was not implemented in the experiment.

The transverse focus of the bunched electrons is roughly in the center of stage 2. The $35~\mu$m drift between the stages is chosen as sufficiently large to spatially separate the laser beams (1) and (2) to avoid cross-talk. The phase difference between stage (1) and (2) can be chosen arbitrarily, thus the synchronous phase of stage (2) is arbitrary but held constant during measurement. The stage 2 synchronous phase in Fig.~\ref{Fig:LongPhaseSpace} was chosen such that the electron bunch drifts over the crest, producing a net energy gain of about 1.3~keV. Without this phase slippage, the energy gain would be $|qe_1|L=1.4$~keV.

The setup of the experiment is similar to~\cite{Black2019NetAccelerator}.
The DLA structures as seen in Fig.~\ref{Picture} are fabricated from 5$-$10 $\Omega$-cm B:Si. The elliptical pillars have dimensions of roughly $r_z=690$~nm, $r_y=830$~nm, and height $h=2.7~\mu$m, and the channel gap between the pillars is 300~nm.
The electron macro-bunch is produced by illumination of a silicon nanotip cathode~\cite{AndrewCeballos2019SiliconAccelerators}  with a laser of 1~$\mu$m wavelength and roughly 300~fs pulse length. The repetition rate is 100 kHz, which produces electron pulses at the same repetition rate and $730 \pm 100$~fs in length, measured by cross-correlation with the DLA drive laser. The electron beam is focused to a circular gaussian spot of width $230 \pm 30$ nm RMS at the beginning of the structure (a).

The outcoming electron beam is analyzed by a sector magnet spectrometer with a roughly 100~eV point spread function. The injection reference energy can be set in a range between 56~keV and 60~keV, with an energy spread less than 10 eV. Since the electron beam is operated with $\sim$ 300 electrons/sec, i.e., less than one electron per laser pulse, space charge is negligible. The energy spread is primarily limited by the power supply ripple of roughly 1 V at 60~kV.

\begin{figure}[t]

\caption{Top panel: Data as recorded on the MCP screen for different stage 2 synchronous phases. The horizontal deflection axis is not significantly influenced by the spectrometer magnet.

\label{Fig:HighEgain}
\end{figure}

The DLA structures are pumped with a commercial OPA system, driven by the same 1 $\mu$m regenerative amplifier that drives the cathode (also at 100~kHz). The pulse length is 605 $\pm$ 5 fs intensity FWHM at the chosen $\lambda=1980$~nm. The four DLA drive beams (see Fig.~\ref{Picture}) are focused to $1/e^2$~intensity radius of 22~$\pm$~1~$\mu$m. Each branch provides pulses ranging from 0 to $\sim$ 50~nJ, depending on the desired acceleration gradient. The phase of each branch is differentially controlled by (free-running, not locked) piezo delay stages. The phase stability is maintained to better than $\lambda/10$ over short timescales ($<1$ ~sec). The total averaging time per frame is limited by larger slow drifts.

Both DLA stages are operated in the symmetric drive configuration, with zero relative phase between each stage's drive lasers (1a and 1b have the same phase, and 2a and 2b have the same phase). The injection phase of the electron into the second stage is controlled by symmetrically delaying the pairs of drive lasers (the phase of 2a and 2b are delayed keeping 1a and 1b fixed). Since accurate measurement of $e_1$ in stage 1 is not possible, we measure $e_1$ in stage~2 and assume the same power level at stage~1. Together with the phase error in stage~1 (laser 1a vs. 1b) this is the main source of driver errors.

Two example experimental spectra are shown in Fig.~\ref{Fig:HighEgain}, where the electron spectrum is coherently accelerated or decelerated depending on the injection phase into the second DLA stage. The increase of the transverse spot size is small, since the captured electrons spend roughly the same time on focusing and defocusing synchronous phases. The energy gain is $1.5\pm0.1$~keV, which indicates that the second stage was slightly overpowered. The energy spread is $0.88_{-0.2}^{+0.0}$~keV FWHM at maximum acceleration and $0.54_{-0.2}^{+0.0}$~keV FWHM at maximum deceleration.

The main source of measurement error is the spectrometer point spread function, which shows a broader spectrum on the screen than reality. This is also visible in Fig.~\ref{Fig:HighEgain} in the laser-off curve exhibiting a width of about 0.2~keV FWHM. The energy spread is still larger than predicted by the simulations after accounting for the spectrometer point spread function, however. This excess energy spread is caused primarily by 3D geometry effects such as the finite height of the pillars and the mesa structure, leading to a possibly strong $e_1(x)$ dependency, see~\cite{Niedermayer2020ThreedimensionalAccelerators}. Consequently, there can be under-bunching, over-bunching, and vertical deflection in the same measurement. Additionally, there is non-uniformity in $e_1$ due to minor cross-talk between the drive lasers and intra-stage phase errors.

A full synchronous phase sweep measurement is shown in Fig.~\ref{Fig:BestDataSet} with $e_1=53\pm5$~MV/m, close to the design gradient. A clear sinusoidal spectral dependence is visible, i.e., the energy gain can be continuously selected by the inter-stage phase. Again, the source for the excess energy spread is the vertical spread of $e_1$ and due to the lower energy gain, there is significant background from non-trapped electrons. The centroid and standard deviation of the measurement data shown in the bottom panel indicate that the spread stays roughly constant at $~800\pm200$~eV, with slight increase at maximum deceleration, where some of the electrons were lost. Note that mean and std. dev. were taken over each entire spectrum including the decelerated tail. This causes the mean to be only about 0.6~keV above injection energy as compared to the 1.3~keV of the edge of the spectrum.

Together with the streaking experiment presented in~\cite{Black2019NetAccelerator}, we are now able to coherently move the electron beam in both dimensions (energy and deflection) on the microchannel plate (MCP) screen by changing the relative phase of the two stages. The observable small angle spread indicates that the beam leaves the structure without a large increase in divergence. For streaking it is advantageous to have a shorter second stage, which reduces phase slip errors. If only the energy spectrum is measured, a longer second stage (cf. Fig.~\ref{Fig:LongPhaseSpace} (j)) leads to higher energy gain and thus better relative resolution. Moreover, after slipping over the crest, the energy spread is additionally compressed at the expense of a slightly longer bunch length. The bunch length can be inferred from the measured energy spectra via comparison to simulations~\cite{Schonenberger2019GenerationAcceleration}, which we do not attempt here due to the large uncertainty for that measurement with our experimental parameters.

In conclusion, we have demonstrated small energy spread bunching in a DLA based on a modulation-demodulation APF scheme. The resulting sub-femtosecond electron pulses were injected into a second stage for coherent acceleration. Good agreement with simulation results was achieved, with the increased experimental energy spread accounted for by three-dimensional field non-uniformity. This non-uniformity can be quite strong but can also be exploited to confine the beam vertically in future experiments, enabling a scalable APF DLA accelerator~\cite{Niedermayer2020ThreedimensionalAccelerators}. Preliminary full 3D particle tracking simulations indicate that APF buncher structures with vertical confinement would achieve similar energy spreads as predicted in the 2D simulations presented here. Due to the more involved longitudinal phase space manipulations as compared to a simple ballistic buncher, we call this device "fancy buncher".

Tri-County Area Transmission Level Jan.7-12, 2021
by Liberty Best | Jan 7, 2021 | News | 0 comments
Vernal, UT Jan. 7, 2021 – TriCounty Health Department announces that as of Jan. 7, 2021 Uintah County is in high transmission level, Duchesne County is in high transmission level and Daggett is in low transmission level. Uintah County has been in high for 70 days, Duchesne County has been in high for 70 days and Daggett County has been low for 86 days.
A transmission level (high, moderate, low) is determined if a county has two of the three metrics in the designated level of transmission. These levels are calculated weekly, on Thursday, by the Utah Department of Health (UDOH).
Transmission rate is determined by statewide ICU utilization, a 14-day case rate per 100,000 population and a 7-day average percent positivity for COVID-19 testing.
From Dec. 31, 2020-Jan. 6, 2021 Uintah County's 7-day average percent positivity was 41 percent and the 14-day case rate per 100,000 population was 708/100,000, which equates to 251 cases in the past 14 days.
From Dec. 31, 2020-Jan. 6, 2021 Duchesne County's 7-day average percent positivity was 26 percent and the 14-day case rate per 100,000 population was 631/100,000, which equates to 126 cases in the past 14 days.
From Dec. 31, 2020-Jan. 6, 2021 Daggett County's 7-day average percent positivity was 25 percent and the 14-day case rate per 100,000 population was 1020/100,000, which equates to 10 cases in the past 14 days.
Statewide total ICU utilization 86 percent. Seven-day COVID-19 utilization is 34 percent.
Over the past 7 days the tri-county area has seen 14 COVID-19 related hospitalizations and four COVID-19 related deaths. For the purpose of these rates, the Ute Indian Tribe contributes to the county numbers and rates the individual resides.

A Highgate Walk
A 4 mile circular walk from Highgate Station (Northern Line). Waterlow Park can be explored on the route (additional mileage).
The walk can also be extended by including part of Capital Ring Walk 11 to or from East Finchley Station (Northern line). This 2 mile walk along sections 9-13 goes through Cherry Tree Wood, Highgate Wood and Queen's Wood. It is particularly attractive in the autumn but a good all year round walk as it is mainly surfaced paths. Remember though that Highgate is a hilly area! Details of the Capital Ring can be found on the Walk London website. Walk 11 is 5½ miles from Hendon Central Station to Highgate. Note: the easiest way to join the Capital Ring walk to the Village walk is to go through Highgate Station.
Highgate begun as a location at which tolls were collected on behalf of the Bishop of London whose hunting park covered much of the area. This small settlement developed in the 1500s due to its healthy position and views of the city. One of the newcomers founded Highgate School, which stills exists. In 1813 Archway Road was constructed as a less steep route, giving the village a by-pass. Although the railway was built in 1867 Highgate escaped the tide of suburbia, helped by the preservation of Hampstead Heath and the Kenwood Estate plus the fact that the bishops retained control of land in the area.
From Highgate Station use exit 1 (steps or ramp) to Archway Road. Cross to Jacksons Lane.

The Quiet Boy
by Ben H. Winters
Mulholland Books Logo
Genre: Mystery & Thriller / Fiction / Mystery & Detective / Amateur Sleuth
Hardcover	Audiobook Downloadable Unabridged	Audiobook CD Unabridged
A legal thriller, a detective story, and ultimately the tale of two families whose lives are braided together over years by mystery and tragedy, THE QUIET BOY revolves around the bizarre and possibly inter-dimensional ailment that has be fallen one teenage boy.
In 2008, a cheerful ambulance-chasing lawyer named Jay Shenk persuades the grieving Keener family to sue a private LA hospital. Their son Wesley has been transformed by a routine surgery into a kind of golem, absent all normal functioning or personality, walking in endless empty circles around his hospital room. In 2019, Shenk—still in practice but a shell of his former self—is hired to defend Wesley Keener's father when he is charged with murder…the murder, as it turns out, of the expert witness from the 2008 hospital case. Shenk's adopted son, a fragile teenager in 2008, is a wayward adult, though he may find his purpose when he investigates what really happened to the murdered witness.
Two thrilling trials braid together, medical malpractice and murder, jostling us back and forth in time.
THE QUIET BOY is a book full of mysteries, not only about the death of a brilliant scientist, not only about the outcome of the medical malpractice suit, but about the relationship between children and their parents, between the past and the present, between truth and lies. At the center of it all is Wesley Keener, endlessly walking, staring empty-eyed, in whose quiet, hollow body may lie the fate of humankind.
