About Veselka
In 1983 a group of friends came together to learn Ukrainian dance steps. After months of these exercises, the group decided to form a Ukrainian dance club, which reflected their cultural background and traditions. Hence in 1984, the Veselka Ukrainian Dance and Music Society was formed. Today we are known as the Veselka Ukrainian Dance Association. Veselka has grown to an ensemble cast of just under fifty dancers that have entertained audiences with its unique blend of character, humor, and vitality.
Veselka has traveled to Ottawa, Dauphin, Montreal, Saskatoon, and various locations within Alberta. In 2007 and 2008, Veselka traveled to Eugene, Junction City, and Springfield, Oregon to attend cultural festivals. Veselka has also been part of the many special events in Edmonton, such as the opening and closing ceremonies for the 2001 World Games, Grey Cup events including the halftime show, and the Ukrainian Millennium Festival.
In February 2009, Veselka celebrated its 25th anniversary. We celebrated 25 years of Ukrainian dance, culture, and friendship. For this special occasion, Edmonton Ukrainian artist Larisa Sembaliuk-Cheladyn was commissioned to paint a work of art that would represent the unique spirit and love of the Ukrainian culture. It was this work of art called "Pryvit" that was the inspiration for Veselka's fall performance in November 2011 called 'Prekrasne Malyarstvo'. For this celebration, the Artistic Director beautifully choreographed a concert based on this painting, in which the painting was brought to life.
In 2014, Veselka performed at two Grandstand performances at the Vegreville Pysanka Festival. These performances showcased Veselka as a commendable, adult amateur group, in light of sharing the stage with professional Ukrainian dance groups. These performances resulted in an influx of new and enthusiastic dancers, sparking a resurgence of growth and spirit for Veselka's 30th anniversary in the 2014-2015 dance year. To celebrate Veselka's 30th year, a multicultural showcase was hosted at the Dow Centennial Center in Fort Saskatchewan in June 2015.
The 2016-2017 dance season saw all the dancers' hard work culminate with performances at the Capital Ukrainian Festival in Ottawa, Ontario. With the band Zirka of Toronto, Veselka dancers also led one of the most unbelievable Zabavas that Ottawa had ever seen with most of the audience joining in. The most memorable event of that trip that also coincided with Canada 150 celebrations, was the Veselka dancers walking en masse up the pathway towards the Parliament buildings. At the base of the main steps, Veselka did a 'flash mob" hopak that has now been shared and viewed online around the world.
In June of 2019, through the incredible talent and effort of our artistic director, Tricia Bayrock-Frederick, Veselka presented " Reflections". This 2+ hour production was in honor of over 35 years of treasured memories and was met with critical acclaim. Over the past 36 years, Veselka has earned a well-deserved reputation as the "Best Adult" Ukrainian dance group in Canada. Veselka continues to dance and perform, with hopes of sharing our love for Ukrainian dance with many more audiences to come. Boodmo!

Home Chinese Companies Marching to Lead in Digital Economy
Chinese Companies Marching to Lead in Digital Economy
Dr Kamlesh Bajaj

Freedom of Expression Invoked by a Chinese Company Tik-Tok – Strange but True!
Byte-Dance, a Chinese company, is one of the most valued start-ups at $75 billion with investors that include Soft-Bank. It is reported to have been funded in its latest round by Soft-Bank, KKR & Co, and General Atlantic to the tune of $1.5 billion. It owns a social media platform – Tik-Tok – that uses only short-videos as a medium. It has attracted over 250 million users in India alone, with over 60 million of them being active online. It is popular among rural folks, who create and enjoy amusing videos without having to write in any language. Social, political, and pornographic videos, among others form the obvious content on Tik-Tok.
It was banned by the Madras High Court (HC) in the first week of April 2019 on the ground that it encouraged pornographic content, and made child users vulnerable to sexual predators. Reuters reported on 11 April 2019 that Byte-Dance approached the Supreme Court of India against the ban on the plea that 'Indian ban on Tik-Tok App would harm free speech'. A Chinese company invoking free speech in India!
The Madras HC had passed ex-parte orders, on a PIL filed by an advocate on 3 April 2019, voicing concern over 'pornographic and inappropriate' content on the App, and asked the central government to ban the mobile App. Since the HC had not heard Tik-Tok – even no notice was issued – the Supreme Court, though not staying the interim order, directed it to hear the respondent on merit by April 24 and pass appropriate order, else the stay would stand vacated. Tik-Tok advanced arguments to defend itself, invoking the Information Technology Act that it was an intermediary as per the definition u/s 2(w), and u/s 79, and that it could not be held liable for the third party content. It also said that a miniscule percentage – 0.0006% - of content posted was objectionable, even though it took due diligence to remove such content using Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques for scanning images.
Two-judge bench of Madras HC appointed an amicus curiae to assist the Court on April 24. It passed order lifting the ban subject to the condition that all pornographic content will be removed by Tik-Tok and that it would ensure that such content will not find place on its platform, failing which contempt proceedings would be initiated against it.
Here's a Chinese company taking advantage of freedom of expression in India, something which it can't resort to in its own country.
India, a country known for its software skills, surprisingly, never built any social media App. Not even after the Snowden revelations in 2013 that millions of phones, all the emails and chats were being surveilled by the US, since all the email and social media platforms were American! In this vacuum, the Chinese too have ventured into the huge market that India presents. Dailyhunt, set up by Jinri Toutiao, owned by Byte-Dance, is a news content aggregation App in fourteen local languages including Hindi, that uses its technology to makes personalized recommendations to users through its deep machine learning capabilities. It publishes 35,000 items daily, including news, e-books, magazines, comics and videos in all these languages. It has an active user base of 28 millions, which is a third of 90 million users of Fliboard; it gets 4.5 billion monthly page views. Recently Byte-Dance has invested $25 million in this venture. Dailyhunt believes that the next group of 400 million Internet users in India will largely come from rural areas, with need to access news in local languages, and preference for videos. This has been amply demonstrated by the success of Tik-Tok.
Byte-Dance is a new Internet company that is independent of the Chinese triumvirate BAT (Baidu, Alibaba, Ten-Cent) or their subsidiaries. The Chinese government works closely with these three companies in its program of informatisation of society. Its valuation is higher than that of Uber ($72 billion), and the Chinese ride-hailing App Chuxing ($56 billion). Byte-Dance started out using AI to personalize content for users but soon got into short-video format called Douyin, known as Tik-Tok overseas. By February 2019, Tik-Tok had exceeded over one billion mark for worldwide installs on the Apple Store and Google Play including its 'lite' versions and regional variations (Source: Sensor Store Intelligence). 25 percent of these downloads have come from India – 250 million. The US installs stand at 96 million. Android installs in China are not included in this figure.
It is interesting to note that nearly 663 Tik-Tok installs occurred globally in 2018. In comparison, Facebook App was installed 711 million times, and Instagram was installed 444 million times in the same period. It was the fourth most non-game App to be installed in 2018. In January 2019, Tik-Tok climbed to number three installs globally, and the number one non-game installed in the US. Therein lies its power, and the business potential in the digital world (https://sensortower.com/blog/tiktok-downloads-one-billion).
There are many more examples of innovations in technology, and business models in the digital economy of China and their global reach. That Huawei is a big global player in the telecom technology, especially in 5G, is well known to the world; more so because of the national security issues raised by the US and other western nations on its 5G technology. But a social media company emerging from China to challenge the established American mega multinationals like Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and others was beyond anyone's imagination till recently. It's worth recalling that Facebook started in 2011, and We-Chat in China too began around the same time. While the former had the global market as target, China with its over 750 million users had the opportunity to scale up its messaging App into a multimodal App. And it did just that - like Alibaba in e-commerce, and Baidu in search.
Tik-Tok and Huawei cases also reveal that the Chinese companies are strategising to take advantage of the legal regimes in the democratic world, especially freedom of expression, human rights, rule of law, and open and transparent processes. The reverse is sadly not true. The laws are not clear, distinction between government and courts is absent and there is opacity of processes making it difficult for western and Indian companies to operate freely in China. For example, China's Cyber Security Law that came into effect on June 1, 2017 requires network operators to store select data within China and allows Chinese authorities to conduct spot-checks on a company's network operations. With almost every company coming under the definition of network operators, foreign companies have voiced concerns over greater data controls as well as increased risks of intellectual property theft. Vague terminology and absence of any official guidance on complying with the law have created uncertainty, as is normally the case in China.
Digital economy value addition to the GDP of nations continues to increase. An Accenture study of 2016 forecasts that adoption of AI and Machine Learning will double the GDP growth rate of advanced countries, compared to if they don't, by 2035. China's digital economy, at $3.5 trillion as reported by People's Daily on 22 November 2018, was the second largest in the world with the US, Japan and the UK occupying first, third, and fourth places, respectively. International Data Corporation (IDC) of China, in its annual 'Futurescape' event focused on digital transformation, predicted in November 2017, that the digital economy in China will account for 55 percent of its GDP by 2021.
Digital economy figures quoted by various sources throw up different numbers because of different ways of calculating digital value addition, but the numbers are a clear indication of China emerging as a global player in the digital world. In 2013, the US had nine companies (Apple, Amazon, Microsoft, Google/Alphabet, Facebook, Netflix, eBay/Paypal, Booking Holdings and Salesforce) in the top 20 worldwide internet leaders and China had only two (Tencent and Baidu). In 2018, the US had 11 (new ones were Uber and Airbnb), while China added seven more to reach its tally of nine (Alibaba, Ant Financial, Xiaomi, Didi Chuxing, JD.com, Meituan-Dianping and Toutiao) (Source: Kleiner Perkins Report Internet Trends 2018).

 KTLA5's Kacey Montoya's Inaugural Fix'n Fidos Gala Featured Her Impactful Work, Celebrities & LA Sheriff
Marc Ang
By Marc Ang
Los Angeles, CA (The Hollywood Times) 10/18/21 – Perhaps one of the most powerful moments of the Industry Hills Fix'n Fidos gala was the moment when one of KTLA5 anchors and charity founder Kacey Montoya's childhood classmates from Texas stood up to give an endorsement of Kacey's wonderful work. He was right. So many people talk, very few people do. Kacey's mission-driven work since the opening of doors in 2017 speaks volumes about her character and her heart.
Founded by Montoya, her mission was to put a dent in Los Angeles' pet population by providing financial assistance for spay and neuter costs to low-income SoCal residents. Fix'n Fidos is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit and all-volunteer organization started to help with small vet bills and routine vaccines so people would not have to surrender their pets to shelters for financial reasons during COVID. Since March 2020, the organization has spent more than $170,000 helping pets in Los Angeles.
Kacey caught up with Hollywood Times and provided this statement, "I started this nonprofit in 2017 to do spay and neuter for low-income residents because I wanted to put a dent in the pet population. Our shelters are full, animals are killed for 'space' all the time. During the pandemic, people started reaching out saying I can't buy food for my family, much less my pet. If I don't get help, I'm going to have to relinquish them to my shelter. [Fix'n Fidos] started buying their food, help to pay their vet bills, anything we could to keep the dogs out of the shelters. That is our goal. Since March 2020, we have spent $175,000 doing just that. This is an all-volunteer organization and I do most of the work myself".
Most importantly, by having boots on the ground, Kacey was able to identify the sad reality that many low-income pet owners were sacrificing their own nutrition to care for their furry family members. She immediately stepped in to provide food and relief to low-income families that lost their source of income due to COVID pandemic shutdowns.
Yet, Kacey, donned in her signature red outfit, in line with Fix'n Fidos branding, greeted a slew of Hollywood celebrities. She told me she had been following Casey Abrams from American Idol for years on social media and reached out to him to perform. I caught up with Casey and he took some great pictures with my puggle, Pugsley. Before the program, he played a set with varied tunes on his big bass, displaying his versatility from Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit" to Britney Spears's "Baby One More Time". I asked him if he would play "Butter" by BTS but he said he didn't know it well. Maybe next time?
DJ Lisa Foxx of 104.3 MY FM was also part of the red carpet entrance and she chose to spend that time with Pugsley as she went live on the phone. "I'm so proud of Kacey and I'm sure this is the first annual of many to come," said Lisa. Jessica Hall of Kendra and The Hills and Christian Kane from Leverage and The Librarians fame also appeared.
Danni Carter, a citizen journalist, who wears a bow because she didn't grow hair until she was 3 years old, and one of the key volunteers said, "I'm here because I love dogs and I love breaking news and KTLA is my jam". KTLA executive producer Marcus Smith said, "I'm proud of Kacey and what she does for animals and families who need it". Colleague, Lynette Romero said, "Kacey Montoya has poured her heart and soul and loved off all the fur she has trying to do this event and gave birth to this. It's really a labor of love. Right, Pugsley, that's why we are here?"
Sponsor James P. Axiotis of JPA Productions said he and his daughter Sophia got involved because of all the great work Kacey was doing and was inspired that a successful newscaster would do this for the community. He expects Fix'n Fidos to get bigger over the years.
Fix'n Fidos started with a dog parade at 7:30 am in the morning. Deborah Ramos, who entered her dog, Memphis, early in the morning, also attended the gala later in the afternoon. Ramos raved about her great morning and Memphis seemed to agree. Sheriff Alex Villanueva and his wife Vivian were the judges and LASD K-9's were there to support. Attendees also got a swag bag full of goodies. After the dog parade, there was golf and the big prize for a hole-in-one on three par three's included a new car, $10,000, a year of Omaha steaks, and cash prizes.
Sheriff Alex Villanueva and wife Vivian also served duties during the auction, as did many people including artist Erik-Jan Pliner, who raised thousands of dollars selling his artwork of Bob Marley, Tim McGraw, Marlon Brando, and Rosa Parks, one of the items that resulted in bidding wars.
At this auction, Sandra Truelove, president at RUFF Animal Rescue from Laguna Beach, drove up to Industry for the event, as one of the partners for Fix'n Fidos and major Kacey supporters. She did not hold back during the auction, winning the high bidder status on items like a multi-thousand dollar lunch with all the KTLA staff. All for a good cause, as that specific item, bid up to the 5,000 range and luckily KTLA accommodated two lunches for Sandra and her competitor. Before the auction, Sandra said, "I totally support the spay and neuter thing, and Kacey and I became good friends that way".
Sandra brought up another good friend, Vicki Gunvalson, of Real Housewives of Orange County fame. Vicki caught up with the Hollywood Times and sported her ring-less hand, in great spirits despite a very recent breakup with her ex-fiance and gubernatorial candidate Steve Lodge, a relationship of six years. Vicki had issued a press release to inform the public about the breakup and declined to comment further but Steve subsequently went to press to air out intimate details just a day before this event. Vicki has since, on her Instagram, brought to question the veracity of those statements. Despite the breakup, she was in a happy and jovial mood and was passionate about supporting the Fixn' Fidos event with Sandra and fellow RHOC co-star Tamra Davis.
Despite all the celebrity fanfare, it is the true mission that shined through. What inspired Kacey was doing so many stories as a newscaster and seeing dogs killed because of the reason of space and it makes her sick and "breaks her heart" to see dogs in cages because their owners can't afford to keep them. "Just because you're low income, it doesn't mean you can't have a pet or love a pet", she says. Kacey wants dogs out of the shelters, period.
Fixnfidos.com is where you can find more info, especially if you're a low-income family in need. Don't let economic constraints ever stop you from giving and receiving one of the greatest gifts in life: to own a pet and to provide a loving home for a pet in need.

Hey, CNN: Barack Interfered In Elections Around The World -- Is That News?
Hey, CNN: Barack Interfered In Elections Around The World — Is That News?
It was Barack Obama's friend and former chief campaign strategist, David Axelrod, who confessed to NPR that community organizers in Chicago would throw bricks through the window of Democrat campaign headquarters and call a press conference to blame the opposition. So when Obama accused Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin of colluding to steal an election, the brick that landed on the accuser's toe was one he planted there himself.
Let's not forget that although the International Court of Justice deems interfering in a foreign election a violation of international law, and notwithstanding the fact that U.S. regulations ban the use of tax dollars to sway foreign elections, it was brick-throwing Barack, not Donald Trump, who repeatedly defied the law on behalf of a larger global agenda.
In 2006, U.S. senator Obama traveled to Kenya on the taxpayer's dime at a time that coincidentally corresponded with Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) leaders strategizing to help Muslim-sympathizer Raila Odinga unseat incumbent President Mwai Kibaki.
After Obama's alleged distant cousin lost by more than 200,000 votes, Kibaki appointed Odinga prime minister in a power-sharing deal, but not before Alinsky-style chaos broke out in the streets. When it was over, the new prime minister's sharia-supporters had killed thousands of Kenyans, destroyed 800 Christian churches, and incinerated fifty Christian believers inside an Assemblies of God.
Apparently, tossing blocks of cement through his own window for all these years has caused Obama to forgot that in 2009, the late Hugo Chávez's friend, Honduran president Manual Zelaya, decided to ignore term limits and keep his presidency open-ended.
In response, the Honduran Supreme Court decided to have Zelaya forcibly removed by the military – a decision Barack Obama referred to as a "coup d'état." In an attempt to both punish and persuade the Honduran people to reinstate the deposed Zelaya, a vindictive Obama made permanent the suspension he imposed on non-humanitarian aid.
Obama's large-scale efforts have not been limited to aiding and abetting Luo tribesmen from Africa and leftist dictators from the Americas.
In February of 2011, Obama decided to oust Moammar Gaddafi from power by instructing the State Department, headed by Hillary Clinton, to interfere in Libya's political and military affairs. President Obama spent a billion dollars to fund the operation, which included the U.S. military joining jihadi rebel groups to topple and ultimately kill the Libyan leader.
As a result, Barack managed to community organize a nation and "fundamentally transform" Libya from a moderate Islamic regime, that was no longer a threat to America, into a safe haven for ISIS and al-Qaeda.
Not once, but twice, in 2009, and again in 2015, the Alinsky acolyte sharpened his election-meddling skills, enlisted the US State Department, and deposited thousands of dollars into the coffers of Bibi Netanyahu opposition groups. In hopes of blocking Netanyahu from being reelected Obama even dispatched to Tel Aviv his grassroots National Field Director from two successful presidential campaigns, Jeremy "Anyone But Bibi" Bird, who joined forces with like-minded Israeli activists.

TOUCHING SOUNDS: INSTRUMENT AS MUSIC
by Dr Hoh Chung Shih
Dr Hoh Chung Shih studied at King's College London, and completed a Ph.D in Composition at the University at Buffalo, where he also studied computer music at the Lejaren Hiller Computer Music Studios. Since 1996, he studied the guqin (Chinese 7-string zither) with Master Ji Zhiqun. His international presence as composer, through works by commissions and requests from Asia, Europe and America have led him to collaborate with some of world's premier musicians. Chung Shih is also a sound artist, who works in interdisciplinary collaborations with MLuM, an international artist collective. His interest can be described as an exploration of a double intersection: one between the avant-garde and the experimental, and the other between the international contemporary and traditional Chinese literati cultures. Dr Hoh is also the current president of the Composers Society of Singapore (CSS).
The Q&A session will be moderated by Hector Lee, a graduating postgraduate student from MA Arts Pedagogy and Practice at LASALLE.

This was made as a gift for my friend Heidi, who has a very particular need. Heidi is a professional painter who lately has been touring the earth with her boyfriend Robert DeLong, painting the faces of everyone in the crowd at his shows with blacklight-reactive paint. Heidi's responsible for the look of Robbie's shows (and created the inspiration for his X logo). You can see tons of crazy examples of her work here.
So Heidi came up with an idea, and asked if I could make it for her: She's often on tour, and has to paint faces in a variety of places that may or may not have what she needs to set up shop. Sometimes there aren't even outlets available. So it would perfect if she could have a wearable piece of electronic clothing that could (a) emit mild UV light when she's working with blacklight-reactive paint on participants' faces, and (b) emit very bright regular light when she needs to either set up or take down her station.
And thus, the Blacklight LED Collar was born.
Test all of your LEDs individually with a small button battery before working with them. It's pretty agitating to take all the time to sew them to a project, just to realize they're broken afterwards.
With this data, we can see that the voltage our battery will provide is roughly in line with what the LEDs want, but the current from the battery is WAY too high for them. If you wire your battery straight to your LEDs in this state, you will very quickly burn them all out. So, how do we fix this?
A good tip to remember is that wiring LEDs in series will divide the voltage across them, but wiring them in parallel will not. Since all of our LEDs want roughly the same amount of voltage that the battery provides, we'll wire them in parallel. This way, they'll all receive 3.7V.
V = IR is all you need now. You know your voltage, and you know the current you want through each LED, so solve for R to figure out what resistor you need in your circuit. But note that I tested my LiPo battery, and am actually receiving 3.9V, not 3.7V like the datasheet says. Always test first, and base your calculations off of reality.
2. Grab a multimeter and see what current is running through your LEDs.
(a) Is it too much? (Probably not.) Get a higher resistor.
(b) Is it too little current? Get a lower resistor.
3. Rinse, repeat until the current running through your LEDs matches what the LED datasheets require.
There are snazzier ways to attach LEDs to wearables than this. (For example, you can buy surface-mount LEDs that are soldered on to tiny, easily-sewable pads.) But I think this way looks cooler.
Grab some needle-nose pliers, and twist the metal leads on on your LEDs around the tiny tip of the pliers. Try to make them flat enough to stand up on their own. Do this to all of your LEDs.
Now grab your THIN conductive LED thread, and your LEDs. I chose to set up my LEDs in an "every other" pattern. (e.g. LED1 is UV, LED2 is normal, LED3 is UV, LED4 is normal, LED 5 is UV, etc...) You're now going to use the thin conductive thread to sew the LEDs up against the thick conductive thread.
In order to do this, we're going to have to set up our LEDs carefully. I'll explain more in the next step, but for now, sew all of your UV LEDs with the negative lead on the bottom, and all of your Ultrabright LEDs with the negative lead on the top. To make your life easier, sew all of the UV LEDs on first and leave gaps between them. (In my picture, I'm trying it on at this step to make sure it looks ok.) Once you're done, then go back and sew on all of the Ultrabright LEDs in the opposite direction.
We picked a DPDT switch with 6 leads on the bottom for a very good reason: These switches allow you to easily reverse the polarity of the current running through your circuit. This means that current runs in one direction while it's in position one, no current at all runs in position two, and current runs in the opposite direction in position three. Since LEDs are diodes, they only accept current in one direction. This means that your LEDs with the negative leads facing up will turn on in position one, no LEDs will turn on in position two, and the LEDs with the negative leads facing down will turn on in position three. This is what enables us to turn on the UV LEDs and the Ultrabright LEDs separately.
Solder your wires to your switch like mine, and attach the female plug (the white thing on the right in the picture) for your battery to the other end. The female plug should have come with your battery. If not, you can grab them from Fry's or other hobby electronics stores.
If my picture is too fuzzy, check out this instructable for more details on how to wire the switch.
Here's a quick look at the battery and the charger.
I chose to tape the battery to the collar, just in case I ever need to replace it. In the picture, you can see what it looks like when the battery is not attached to the LEDs, but is attached to the charger. In this state, you can plug your collar into the USB port of your computer and charge it up! Once it's done, just remove the charger and plug the battery back into the LEDs.
Step 7: You're Done! Try It Out!
Once your battery is charged (the light on the charger will turn green), take your charger off, and plug the battery into the collar. Try all three positions on your switch to make sure that you get UV LEDs in one position, no LEDS in the middle position, and Ultrabrights in the last position.
Hi, I'm trying to get my hands on to these LED black lights, these size, but I can't find any on ebay! If you don't mind can you tell me where you got yours? :) thanks !

merely there is any hope for the citizen of this city which only gets the news of killings and blasts, Karachi been one of the most violent cities in the recent pasts, on which Chief of Army Staff given statement that there is no need of Army Operation, wonder where does he sees the hope that things will ever get better here in Karachi.
Majority of the people are living in Karachi are because they are stuck and optionless else I don't think people wants to suffer here in Karachi. Daily killings outrages and bomb blasts are no surprise anymore, Indeed Karachi isn't the only city but Quetta and Peshawar represents the same.
on one side the Government is freeing killers ( Talibans ) wonder why captured at first place if you had to freed them all, for peace gesture surely it shows the pressure on the government due to US forces will are seeking for the exit in 2014, which to me seems untrue completely.
but Pakistan will be facing worst time ahead in 2014 once the US forces left, TTP has claimed many violent incidents and yet there is no need of operation seems very unfair decision, Haraza Community got the Justice by slamming the Balochistan Government but what about Karachi Genocide which has continued and 2012 was one of the bloodiest year for this city, does anyone even count Karachi as a part of Pakistan ! daily I see news papers are filled with the news about Karachi but no reaction by the security forces.
Government and the Pakistan Army needs to make proper strategy to stop killings in Karachi, if they continued on the way they are than the chances are we're heading straight to civil war situation, there is certain limitations and patience after which even the ordinary person looses his patience and becomes violent.

The Tattooed Book / June 7, 2014
The Tattooed Lady by Amelia Klem Osterud: Review
The Tattooed Lady by Amelia Klem Osterud
The Tattooed Lady is the debut book from historian and librarian Amelia Klem Osterud.
When Amelia Klem Osterud started investigating women's labour history, her personal interest detoured her research towards tattooed Native Americans and then into the history of tattooed women. I'm sure I am not alone in my fascination with tattooed ladies of the late 1800's who first began to appear as exotic attractions and was overjoyed to discover Osterud's The Tattooed Lady that is dedicated to their memory.
The Tattooed Lady begins with a history of tattooing in general but paying close attention to periods of time where the existence of tattooing is less widely known, such as during the Greek and Roman eras. She explains how tattoos morphed from a way of branding slaves to an open sign of religion or spirituality.
It isn't until the late 19th century when the tattooed lady truly appears in the history books for two dramatically different reasons. Small delicate tattoos such as flowers and butterflies were becoming very popular with women (including Winston Churchhill's mother) but any more than this was still seen as a sign of having criminal tendencies, deviancy and was often considered a sign of being a prostitute. These presumptions were 'confirmed' by the highly inaccurate scientific research of the time by Cesare Lembroso who thought he had identified connections between tattoos and criminal activity in his paper 'The Savage Origins of Tattooing.'
'I have been told that the fashion of tattooing the arm exists among women of prominence in London society. The taste of this style is not a good indication of the refinement and delicacy of the English ladies: first, it indicates an inferior sensitiveness, for one has to be obtuse to pain to submit to this wholly savage operation without any other subject than the gratification of vanity; and it is contrary to progress, for all exaggerations of dress are atavistic.' – Cesare Lembroso in The Savage Origins of Tattooing
La Belle Irene
It was 1882 that saw the emergence of what is now seen as the 'traditional' tattooed lady, promoting themselves as sideshow attractions. The first two recorded ladies of ink were Nora Hildebrandt and Irene Woodward (stage name La Belle Irene), both claiming to be the first tattooed lady. These were savvy working-class women who saw a niche in the entertainment market and had the guts to fill it. To explain their look, add impact to the act and maintain the ladies reputations, a number of similarly themed stories were crafted about how they came about their decoration. In the very early 1900's these tales were generally based around torture or punishments of some type, the woman having been kidnapped by Indians and tortured with tattooing or a loving father being forced by savages to tattooed his daughter. Thanks to these stories the women were also seen as strong survivors, victims that made it through the tough times and were treated with dignity and respect. This is confirmed by how the tattooed lady, Irene Woodward was described in 1882 by the Brooklyn Daily Eagle, as 'Punctured…Purity…Nature and Art Perfected — a beauty.'
The Tattooed Lady by Amelia Klem Osterud is a difficult book to find in the shops but if you can track a copy down it really is worth the investment. The book is written with such obvious passion for the subject and respect for the women it documents that it leaves you quite in awe of these unassuming icons. The women between these pages paved the way for every tattooed lady today and this book really is a bible for anyone wanting to know more about them. The numerous photographs of tattooed women through the ages are mesmerising, documenting not just artistic changes in tattooing but cultural ones too. Although I have read numerous non-fiction books on tattoos, it is safe to say that this is my favourite, due to it's in-depth research and attention to detail. This is a truly unmissable book for tattooed women everywhere.
If you like The Tattooed Lady by Amelia Klem Osterud you'll love The Painted Lady by Dominique Holmes.

As always a big THANK YOU to everyone who tuned in yesterday!
Be sure to catch me live every Tuesday between 9:00am and 12:00pm!
As you know, a terrible atrocity took place in France over the past weekend. However, while yes it was a terrible attack, it was a terrible attack taken out by extremists. Unfortunately, this event has stemmed hate towards minorities, as there seems to be much confusion as people start to point fingers as the dust begins to settle. Over the weekend on Sunday night, a Hindu temple within the KW community was vandalized. While it has yet to be confirmed whether this incident is directly related to the events on the weekend or not, the temple has seen peace for its twenty years it has been in the community. This is unacceptable, this is what terrorists seek to create….terror. By causing fear and spreading hate, what are you really achieving? Overall, I'm tired of constantly seeing explosions and people running in fear 24/7. I'm tired of seeing ignorant hate being spread around carelessly. I'm tired of the world.
Like I discussed last week concerning slacktivism, do not only think before speaking, but be cognitive of what you share and like in the electronic world. The lines between a physically spoken word and a click are becoming more and more blurred.
Yesterday we managed to see some blue sky through the grey clouds! Overall, though it didn't seem too bad out there.

\section{Introduction}
\label{sect:intro}%
In the presence of intense laser field, atomic or molecular levels
are displaced (shifted or broadened) and these stimulated radiative
corrections are alternatively known as ac-Stark shift, dynamic Stark
effect  or light shift \cite{cohen}. Being a fundamental process
ac-stark effect is very well studied theoretically as well as
experimentally in wide area of atomic and molecular physics. This
effect is also very important in the area of laser trapping and
cooling and is a basic mechanism behind many nonlinear optical
effects \cite{bec}. It is a promising tool for the field of optical
communications (Optical switching methods) and  plays a very
decisive role in many current research areas
\cite{dyn,schu,glib,shin,zou,sch,rud,bach,apa,ago,chen,yak}. In this
work we have described an efficient  method to obtain a closed form
analytical expression for two of the basic process viz. ac stark
shift and elastic scattering cross section of photons for the atomic
hydrogen in the  ground state.
Our aim is to get an analytical expression for dipole dynamical
polarizability $\tau^{(2)}(\omega)$ from which one can calculate
the level shift $\delta E^{(2)}$ and level width $\Gamma^{(2)}$.
The hydrogen atom being the simplest of all atomic systems, plays
a very special role in this respect because it has  closed-form
wavefunctions. Since these wave functions are analytically known,
both the dipole dynamic polarizability and Kramer's-Heisenberg
dispersion formula for hydrogen atom can be written in a closed form.

The level shift for atomic hydrogen was previously
calculated by both perturbative and nonperturbative methods
\cite{pan,maq:83,kar:04,bak,chu:coo,gon:89,maq:90,sha:tan, ben:kri,flo:pat}.
In the perturbative method, evaluation of the higher order
matrix element is the key problem and it is achieved through
Greens function formalism \cite{pan,maq:83,kar:04} or by
solving a system of second-order differential equations
\cite{gon:89}.

The Kramers-Heisenberg formula alternatively known as
dispersion formula plays a very important role in the determination of
scattering cross-sections \cite{hei}.
Considering its importance as an age-old relation
there were only very few attempts to evaluate it
analytically \cite{mit,gav}. There were some generalization
of it and alternate forms are also available in the
literature \cite{hea:woo,hol,bre,tul}.
Recently a low-energy expansion of the Kramers-Heisenberg
formula for Rayleigh scattering process in atomic hydrogen was reported \cite{lee}.
Similar to the ac Stark shift this also involves the
evaluation of the second order matrix element.

The exact calculation of higher order process
in the perturbative formulation is nontrivial  because of the presence
of infinite  summation over intermediate states in the expression
for the  higher order matrix element. In our approach the matrix element
containing infinite summation over the whole hydrogenic
spectrum (discrete and continuum) is performed by using an
implicit summation technique due to Dalgarno Lewis \cite{dar:lew},
which  reduces the evaluation of the infinite summation
to finding a solution of some inhomogeneous differential
equation. The closed form expression which we have obtained
is  very simple and also very convenient for analytical
continuation. Thus with this method, we can very easily obtain
the relevant matrix element for radiation with energy larger
than ionization energy  (above threshold ionization),
while other methods need some kind of
approximation like Pade approximation in the
case of Coulomb Greens function formalism.
\section{Radiative correction in the ground state}
The level shift depends on the intensity $I$ and the
frequency $\omega$ of the radiation and the complex second order shift
$\Delta^{(2)}$ is given by \cite{maq:83,kar:04,chu:coo,gon:89}
\begin{equation}%
\label{delta}%
\Delta^{(2)}(\omega)=\delta E^{(2)}-i \Gamma^{(2)}%
 =-\frac I{I_0}\tau^{(2)}(\omega)
\end{equation}%
where the real part $\delta E^{(2)}$ is the energy shift and the
imaginary part $\Gamma^{(2)}$ gives the level width and
$I_0= 7.016\times 10^{16}$ \,W/cm$^2$ is the characteristic atomic field
strength intensity.
Here $\tau^{(2)}(\omega)$ is the dipole dynamic polarizability
and in the atomic unit it can be written as
\begin{equation}
\tau ^{(2)}=\sum_n \left\{\frac{\langle g\mid \epsilon ^*\cdot
{\bf r}\mid n\rangle \langle n\mid \epsilon\cdot {\bf r}\mid
g\rangle } {(E_g-E_n+\omega )}+\frac{\langle g\mid \epsilon \cdot
{\bf r}\mid n\rangle \langle n\mid \epsilon ^*\cdot {\bf r}\mid
g\rangle } {(E_g-E_n-\omega )} \right\}%
\label{mat}%
\end{equation}%
where $E_g$ is the atomic ground state energy
and $\epsilon$ is
the polarization of the radiation. First term in the bracket is
the absorption-emission term and the second is the
emission-absorption term. The infinite summation over the complete
set of intermediate state  in equation (\ref{mat}) can be performed
exactly by defining a set of operators $F$ and $\widetilde{F}$
such that
\begin{equation}\label{opf1}
\mathbf{\epsilon}\cdot {\bf r}\left| g\right \rangle =%
\left( FH_0-H_0F+\omega F\right) \left| g\right\rangle%
\end{equation} %
\begin{equation}
\mathbf{ \epsilon}^*\cdot {\bf r}\left| g\right \rangle =\left(
\widetilde{F}H_0-H_0\widetilde{F}-\omega \widetilde{F}\right)
\left| g\right\rangle%
\label{opf2}
\end{equation}
where $H_0=-\nabla^2/2-1/r $ is the unperturbed Hamiltonian for
atomic hydrogen and  $|g\rangle=e^{-r}/\sqrt{\pi}$ is the ground
state wave function in atomic units. With these definitions and
the closure relation
$\sum_n\mid n\rangle \langle n\mid\ =\hat{I}$ the expression in
equation (\ref{mat}) for dipole dynamical polarizability will be reduced to
\begin{equation}
\tau^{(2)}(\omega)=
\langle g\mid \mathbf{\epsilon}^*\cdot {\bf r}F\mid
g\rangle +\langle g\mid \mathbf{\epsilon}\cdot{\bf
r}\widetilde{F}\mid g\rangle.%
\label{rmat}%
\end{equation}
Thus the infinite summation over the intermediate states are
reduced to the determination of the operator $F$ and
$\widetilde{F}$. Using co-ordinate space representation and writing
$F=\mathbf{\epsilon}\cdot \mathbf{r}f(r)$ and
$\widetilde{F}=\mathbf{\epsilon}^*\cdot
\mathbf{r}\widetilde{f}(r)$,
the equations (\ref{opf1}) and (\ref{opf2}) become
\begin{eqnarray}
r\frac{d^2}{dr^2}f(r)+(4-2r)\frac d{dr}f(r)+(2\omega r-2)f(r)=2r
\\ \label{f12}
r\frac{d^2}{dr^2}\widetilde{f}(r)+(4-2r)\frac
d{dr}\widetilde{f}(r)-(2\omega r+2)\widetilde{f}(r)=2r%
 \label{f13}%
\end{eqnarray}
By the method of Laplace transform \cite{inc} for the
solution of differential equation we can obtain the solutions to
the above differential equations as
\begin{equation}
\label{f1}
f(r)=\frac {1}{\omega} -\frac {1}{2\omega
^3}\Phi(1,1,\lambda,r)
\end{equation}and
\begin{equation}
\label{f2
 \widetilde{f}(r)=\frac {1}{\omega} +\frac {1}
{2\omega ^3}\widetilde{\Phi}(1,1,\widetilde{\lambda},r)
\end{equation}
with
\begin{equation}
\label{phi}
\Phi(p,q,\lambda,r)=  \int \limits_{\lambda} ^1
ds\,e^{-r(s-1)}K(p,q,\lambda,s)
\end{equation}
\begin{equation}
\label{psi
\widetilde{\Phi}(p,q,\lambda,r)=\int \limits_1^{\lambda}
ds\,e^{-r(s-1)}\widetilde{K}(p,q,\lambda,s)
\end{equation}
\begin{equation}
\label{ker} %
K(p,q,\lambda,s)=\left(
\frac{1-\lambda}{1+\lambda}\right )^{\frac 1{\lambda}}%
\left( s+\lambda \right) ^{p+\frac {1}{\lambda}}%
\left( s-\lambda\right) ^{q-\frac {1}{\lambda}}
\end{equation}
\begin{equation}%
\label{ker2}%
\widetilde{K}(p,q,\lambda,s)=\left(\frac{\lambda-1}{\lambda+1}\right)%
^{\frac 1{\lambda}} \left( \lambda+s \right) ^{p+\frac {1}{\lambda}}%
\left(\lambda-s\right) ^{q-\frac {1}{\lambda}}
\end{equation}
where $\lambda=\sqrt{1-2\omega}$ and
$\widetilde{\lambda}=\sqrt{1+2\omega}$. In this work we obtain the solutions
with integer values of $p$ and $q$. But in general for the purpose of analytic
continuation it can be complex and $\lambda$ also can become complex depending
on the value of the frequency $\omega$.
Now using equations (\ref{phi}) and (\ref{psi})
in equation (\ref{rmat}) the final form of the dipolar polarizability
becomes
\begin{equation}%
\label{ftau
\tau^{(2)}(\omega)=\frac2 {3\omega^3} \int\limits_0^\infty
dr\,e^{-2r}\,r^4\{\widetilde{\Phi}(1,1,\widetilde{\lambda},r)
-\Phi(1,1,\lambda,r)\}
\end{equation}%
The limit $\omega\rightarrow 0$  of the expression for $\tau^{(2)}(\omega)$
can be shown to approach the value corresponding to the static dipolar
polarizability which is $9/2$.
\section{Elastic scattering of photons}
\label{sec:scat}
The differential scattering cross section for low energy
elastic scattering of photons with frequency $\omega$,
by atoms is given by the dispersion formula \cite{hei,mit,gav}%
\begin{equation}
\frac{d\sigma }{d\Omega}=%
a_0^2\left(\epsilon\cdot\epsilon'\right)^2 %
\mid M(\omega) \mid ^2= a_0^2\left(\epsilon\cdot\epsilon'\right)^2%
\mid 1-P(\omega)-P(-\omega)\mid ^2 ~\label{dsred}%
\end{equation}
where $a_0$ is the Bohr radius, $M$ is the Kramers-Heisenberg
matrix element, $\epsilon$ and $\epsilon'$ respectively are the
initial and final polarization  of photons and  $P(\omega)$ in atomic
units is given as \cite{gav}
\begin{equation}
P(\omega)=-\frac 23\sum_n \frac{\langle g\mid \mathbf{p}\mid n\rangle
\cdot \langle n\mid \mathbf{p}\mid g\rangle}{E_g-E_n+\omega }. %
\label{pk}
\end{equation}
Here $\mathbf{p}$ is the momentum
operator
and the summation is over the complete set of states including continuum
states. It is useful to note from equation (\ref{dsred}) that the
differential cross section for coherent scattering of photons is
just the Thompson cross section modified by the dynamic polarizability.
In a similar fashion we can consider Raman scattering where
initial and final states are different. The analytical expressions
for $P(\omega)$ were derived earlier using Schwartz and Teinman method
\cite{mit} and Coulomb Greens function (CGF) formalism \cite{gav}.

Using a slight variation of the formalism in the previous section
we can easily calculate $P(\omega)$. In this case the infinite
summation over the intermediate state in equation~(\ref{pk}) is
performed  by defining a set of operators $\mathbf{U}$ and
${\widetilde{\mathbf{U}}}$ such that,
\begin{eqnarray}\label{op12
\mathbf{p}\left|g\right \rangle =\left(
\mathbf{U}H_0-H_0\mathbf{U}+\omega
\mathbf{U}\right) \left|
g\right\rangle\\  \label{op13
\mathbf{p}\left| g\right \rangle =\left(
\widetilde{\mathbf{U}}H_0-H_0\widetilde{\mathbf{U}}%
-\omega \mathbf{\widetilde{U}}\right) \left| g\right\rangl
\end{eqnarray}%
and the expression for $M$ will become
\begin{equation}%
M(\omega)= 1+\frac{2}3\left(\langle g\mid \mathbf{p}\cdot
\mathbf{U}\mid g\rangle +\langle g\mid\mathbf{p}\cdot
\mathbf{\widetilde{U}}\mid g\rangle\right
 \label{rkhmat
\end{equation}
Now the evaluation of the infinite summation is reduced to the
evaluation of the operators $\mathbf{U}$ and
$\widetilde{\mathbf{U}}$. To obtain a similar expression as in
the previous section, instead of going to momentum space
representation \cite{mit,gav},  we use the coordinate space
representation of $\mathbf{U}$ and $\widetilde{\mathbf{U}}$.
This is done by taking
$\mathbf{U}=\mathbf{r}u(r)$ and
$\widetilde{\mathbf{U}}=\mathbf{r}\widetilde{u}(r)$ and the
equations (\ref{op12}) and (\ref{op13}) become
\begin{eqnarray}
 r\frac{d^2}{dr^2}u(r)+(4-2r)\frac d{dr}u(r)+(2\omega r-2)u(r)=2i
\\ \label{j12}
 r\frac{d^2}{dr^2}\widetilde{u}(r)+(4-2r)\frac d{dr}
 \widetilde{u}(r)-(2\omega r+2)\widetilde{u}(r)=2i%
\label{j13}
\end{eqnarray}
These differential equations has the same form which appeared in the
previous section and the solutions can be written as
\begin{equation}
 \label{j1
 u(r)= -\frac {i}{2\omega ^2}\Phi(1,1,\lambda,r)
\end{equation}
and
\begin{equation}
 \label{j2
 \widetilde{u}(r)= \frac {i}{2\omega^2}
 \widetilde{\Phi}(1,1,\widetilde{\lambda},r)
\end{equation}
Using this in the definition of $U$ and $\widetilde{U}$ and substituting it
in equation~(\ref{rkhmat})
we get a closed form expression for the Kramers-Heisenberg matrix
element. It now takes the form
\begin{equation}
 M(\omega)= 1-\frac 4{3\omega^2}\int\limits_0^\infty
 dr\,e^{-2r}\,r^3\left\{\Phi(1,1,\lambda,r)
 -\widetilde{\Phi}(1,1,\widetilde{\lambda},r)\right\}
 \label{fkhmat}
\end{equation}
If the incident photons are unpolarized and the polarization of
the scattered photons are not observed the differential scattering
cross section will take the standard form
\begin{equation}
  d\sigma=r_0^2\frac12(1+cos^2\theta)|M(\omega)|^2d\Omega
  \label{unpol}
\end{equation}
\section{Discussion and Conclusion}
\label{sec:num}%
The radial integrals in equations (\ref{ftau}) and (\ref{fkhmat}) can be
done exactly \cite{isg}.  For the numerical evaluation of various
integrals it is very convenient to define the following
\begin{eqnarray}%
\label{stn
I(p,q,\lambda,n)&=&\int\limits_0^\infty
dr\,e^{-2r}r^n\, \Phi(p,q,\lambda,r)\\ %
&=&n!\left( \frac{1-\lambda}{1+\lambda}\right )^{\frac
1{\lambda}}\int\limits_\lambda^1 ds \frac{\left( s+\lambda \right)
^{p+\frac {1}{\lambda}}\nonumber%
\left( s-\lambda\right) ^{q-\frac {1}{\lambda}}}{(1+s)^{n+1}}
\end{eqnarray}%
and
\begin{eqnarray}%
\label{stn2
\widetilde{I}(p,q,\lambda,n)&=&\int\limits_0^\infty
dr\,e^{-2r}r^n\, \widetilde{\Phi}(p,q,\lambda,r)\\ %
&=&n!\left( \frac{\lambda-1}{\lambda+1}\right )^{\frac
1{\lambda}}\int\limits_1^\lambda ds  \frac{\left( \lambda
+s\right) ^{p+\frac {1}{\lambda}}\nonumber%
\left( \lambda-s\right) ^{q-\frac {1}{\lambda}}}{(1+s)^{n+1}}.
\end{eqnarray}
With these, the Kramers-Heisenberg matrix element and the dipole
dynamic polarizability respectively will take the following forms
\begin{equation}
 \label{fkhm}
 M(\omega)=1-\frac 4{3\omega^2}\left\{I(1,1,\lambda,3)-
 \widetilde{I}(1,1,\widetilde{\lambda},3)\right\}
\end{equation}
\begin{equation}
\tau^{(2)}(\omega) =\frac2{3\omega^3}\left\{\widetilde{I}
(1,1,\widetilde{\lambda},4)-I(1,1,\lambda,4) \right\}%
 \label{fdpl}
\end{equation} %
This is the final  form of the analytic expression for the matrix elements.
We did not attempt to rewrite these in terms of well known special
functions because the remaining integrals in equations (\ref{stn}) and (\ref{stn2})
can be done very efficiently by a simple numerical integration.

The integrals in
equation (\ref{phi}) is defined only for Re$(q-1/\lambda)>-1$. But in order to
calculate the matrix elements in equations (\ref{fkhm}) and (\ref{fdpl}) for
all values of $\omega$,  we require an analytical continuation of the
definition of $\Phi(.)$ given in equation (\ref{phi}).
It can be achieved by performing a partial integration in the definition given
in equation (\ref{phi}) and this gives
\begin{eqnarray} \label{rec}%
\Phi(p,q,\lambda,r)&=&\frac 1{q+1-\frac{1}{\lambda}}\left[K(p,q+1,\lambda)
+r\Phi(p,q+1,\lambda,r)\right.\\ \nonumber
&&\left.+\left(p+\frac{1}{\lambda}\right) \Phi(p-1,q+1,\lambda,r)\right].
\end{eqnarray}%
This is a very important recurrence relation because (\ref{rec}) can be used to analytically
continue the definition of these function for Re$(q-1/\lambda)>-2$.
We can also repeat this procedure to analytically continue the definition
to other values of Re$(q-1/\lambda)$. And for the
numerical evaluation of various integrals as a function of
radiation frequency $\omega$ we have extensively used this
relation. It is also very important to note the appearance of
simple poles in the definition of $\Phi(.)$ when $q=-1+1/\lambda$.
Since $\lambda=\sqrt{1-2\omega}$, this is due to the presence of
intermediate resonances (when $2\omega=1-1/n^2$, where
$n=2,3,\ldots$) in the expression for second order matrix element
in the perturbation theory. This also leads to a  strong frequency
dependence  of ac stark effect and scattering cross section.

Similarly for above one photon ionization threshold
i.e. $\omega>1/2$, a simple analytic continuation makes $\lambda$
to be a purely imaginary number. Thus by this simple method, with the same
analytic expression for the matrix element, we can numerically
evaluate it for the whole physical range of photon frequency $\omega$.
Displayed in table \ref{tab:belo-pol}  are
$\tau^{(2)}(\omega)$ as a function of photon frequency in atomic units and are
compared  with values obtained by other methods.
It is purely real for $\omega<1/2$.
For $\omega>1/2$ one photon ionization is possible and this makes the
intermediate virtual state to lie in the continuum and $\tau ^{(2)}(\omega)$
becomes complex.

The dipole dynamic polarizability for photon
energy below and above one photon ionization threshold
is given in table \ref{tab:belo-pol}. Our values are compared
with values obtained by Arnous et al. \cite{maq:83} using Coulomb Greens function
method, but with an additional factor of $\omega^{-2}$
in their result. It is very easy to see that  this factor is
missing from their result by taking the $\omega \rightarrow 0$ limit.
In this limit our result approaches the dc polarizability, which is 9/2.
The values given in  \cite{maq:83} also approaches to the same limit
provided their results are multiplied by an overall factor of $\omega^{-2}$.
Using the analytic continuation described in equation (\ref{rec}) we can calculate
$\tau ^{(2)}(\omega)$ for $\omega$ very close to intermediate resonance also.
Our result also agrees with the second order
level shift and width reported by Pan et al. \cite{pan}.
From the values given in tables \ref{tab:belo-pol} and \ref{tab:belo-khm}
it is useful to note the change
in sign of the level shift when the photon frequency cross these resonance
values. The values of  Kramers-Heisenberg matrix element are given in tables
\ref{tab:belo-khm}  and \ref{tab:abo-khm}. They are in good agreement
with the  results of  Gavrila \cite{gav}.
