WINTER HOLIDAYS IN CONNECTICUT BRING OUT THE BEST IN COMMUNITIES LARGE AND SMALL
Holiday Strolls, Sparkling Lights, 'Not-To-Miss' Performances and Family Fun Highlight a Calendar of Special Events for a Joyous Season
HARTFORD — November 22, 2005 — Spectacular parades, inspiring music, brilliant ballet, hilarious theater, presents for zoo animals, and carols for frogs: Connecticut celebrates the winter holidays in every way imaginable. For those who forego the more familiar celebrations in favor of the Winter Solstice on Dec. 21, there are even activities, including evening owl walks, at Connecticut Audubon Centers in Glastonbury and Pomfret.
Whatever a visitor's preference or tradition – from holiday strolls and open house tours to fun for families, and, of course, Santa Claus – a weekend getaway to Connecticut between now and the New Year promises to combine all the happiest elements of holiday festivities.
Here is a sampling of what's happening in Connecticut during the holidays:
First things first: the Jones Family Farm in Shelton (203-929-8425) is one of many farms in the state offering cut-your-own Christmas trees through Dec. 24. In addition to 200 acres to roam in search of the perfect tree, the farm offers wreaths, hot cider and a gift shop filled with ornaments and crafts. Visit www.CTvisit.com for other farms and garden centers offering Christmas trees.
Parades, Strolls, and Lights
What better way to kick off the season than with a rousing, spectacular parade? Wallingford leaps into the holidays with a Frosty the Snowman Parade and Tree Lighting Ceremony Dec. 2-3. Norwich will welcome Santa and thousands of holiday enthusiasts to the Annual Winterfest Parade (860-892-1813) the following day, Dec. 4.
Mystic Seaport (888-973-2767) launches the season with Lantern Light Tours on Dec. 1, providing visitors with a glimpse of Christmas Past as it was celebrated in a coastal New England village. Silver-haired St. Nicholas will be the guest of honor. A Celebration of Lights & Songs by the Sea in New London on Dec. 2 features the town's annual tree lighting ceremony, music, holiday decorating contests, artist open studios, ice sculpture demonstrations and visits from Mr. and Mrs. Claus (860-444-2489).
The first-ever New Canaan Holiday Stroll takes place Dec. 2-4. The event includes outdoor concerts, a Family Night complete with Santa and his elves, Rudolph, hot cider and roasting chestnuts, gingerbread house making, a drawing for gift certificates from local merchants and a Victorian Tea presented by the New Canaan Historical Society (203-966-1776). Historic Downtown Mystic's Holiday Stroll, Dec. 6 (860-572-9578), features the charming and historic main street of Mystic as the setting for carolers, hot cider and cookies as well as shopping opportunities.
Christmas in Coventry Village in Coventry will take place Dec. 4, with wagon rides, a visit from Santa, a carol sing, traveling musicians, a town crier, activities for children and more.
The Festival of Lighthouses at The Maritime Aquarium in Norwalk (203-852-0700), is highlighted by illuminated lighthouses made from everything from sea glass to gingerbread and designed by local artists and artisans, plus the IMAX Theater showing of the animated Santa vs. the Snowman. The Festival runs through the holiday season.
A number of towns in Connecticut can't bear to limit their celebrations to a single weekend. An example is New Haven's Lighthouse Park and the Fantasy of Lights (203-777-2000) is open through Dec. 31.
A Victorian Holiday is the featured attraction at Gillette Castle State Park (860-526-2336) on weekends through Dec.18. This celebration features entertainment, bonfires and period holiday splendor to welcome visitors into the world of William Gillette, the 19th century actor famous for his portrayal of Sherlock Holmes.
Museum Celebrations
An Adirondack Christmas at the Henry Whitfield State Museum in Guilford, Dec. 2, coincides with the town's tree lighting celebration and is inspired by the museum's current exhibit, Adirondack Charm to Abandoned Farm: the Story of Rollwood Farm. In addition to a bonfire, popcorn, S'mores, hot chocolate and a crafts area, visitors will also enjoy Feast, Famine & Fables: The Real Story of Thanksgiving, Christmas and Winter in Puritan New England. The Henry Whitfield State Museum is in Connecticut's oldest house and New England's oldest stone dwelling, built in 1639. Call 203-453-2457.
The Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art (860-278-2670) is celebrating with the 32nd Annual Festival of Trees & Traditions, Dec. 3-11. The exhibition includes displays for Hanukah, Kwanzaa and Three Kings Day as well as traditional and avant-garde Christmas trees and other seasonal decorations.
The Bowen's Celebration of Christmas 1887 at Roseland Cottage in Woodstock takes place on Dec. 4 and recreates some of the appealing aspects of a family Christmas celebration in the late 19th century. The evening includes guided tours through the decorated first floor of this national historic landmark and is held in conjunction with the Woodstock Winter Festival (860-928-4074). The Winter Festival features a Craft Fair, tree and gingerbread house competitions, a community carol sing and tree lighting, hayrides on the Common, children's games and much more.
An American Collector's Christmas is the showcase exhibition at the Hill-Stead Museum in Farmington (860-677-4787) through Jan. 2. The show features rare objects seen only during the holidays as well as turn-of-the-century decorations.
The Florence Griswold Museum in Old Lyme (860-434-5542) is celebrating The Magic of Christmas through Jan. 8 with an exhibit of fantasy trees, including the perennial favorite, Miss Florence's Artist Tree, decorated by 65 hand-painted wooden palettes created by distinguished artists.
The Harriet Beecher Stowe Center in Hartford (860-522-9258) presents Reforming Christmas Traditions: Culture & Change through Jan. 9, with rarely seen items from the museum's collection illuminating 19th century traditions of the holiday.
What would the winter holidays be without historic house tours and open houses? These opportunities to step back into history, or into the lives of the homes' inhabitants, including Connecticut's governor, are abundant. They include: the Governor's Georgian Revival Style Home in Hartford, Dec. 2-4 (860-566-4840); the Thomas Griswold House Museum in Guilford, Dec. 2-4 (203-453-3176); the Bellamy-Ferriday House & Garden in Bethlehem, Dec. 2-3 (203-266-7596); the Hicks-Stearns Museum in Tolland, Dec. 3-4 (860-875-7552); the Butler-McCook House in Hartford, through Jan. 1 (860-522-1806) and the Stevens-Frisbie House in Cromwell, Dec. 11-12 (860-635-0501).
In addition to single home tours, the season also offers the chance to wander through entire neighborhoods or villages of historic homes each decorated for the season. The Holiday House Tour in Essex (860-443-2896) and in Suffield (860-668-0601) are both scheduled for Dec. 3 while many of Hartford's (860-247-0998) most beautiful homes are open on Dec. 4. On Dec. 10, historic and new homes in the beautiful Litchfield Hills area will open their doors (203-262-8747).
Music, Theater and Dance
Music, of course, fills the air throughout the holidays in Connecticut. For those with a taste for the classical, there is Messiah at the Bushnell Center for the Performing Arts in Hartford (860-244-2999) Dec. 3-4; Mosaic Christmas by Chorale Connecticut in Meriden (203-238-2148) Dec. 4; the Candlelight Festival of Nine Lessons & Carols in the style of the famous Christmas Eve service at King's College at Cambridge, at South Church in New Britain (860-223-7555) on Dec. 18; and Christmas in Paris, a concert of seasonal offerings by French composers and folk songs at the First Presbyterian Church in New Haven (203-966-0002) Dec. 19.
More contemporary concerts include the legendary Boston Pops Esplanade Holiday Concert at the Arena at Harbor Yard in Bridgeport on Dec. 10 (203-345-2400) and the New Haven Symphony Pops Holiday Concert at the Quick Center for the Arts in Fairfield, Dec. 16 (203-254-4019). And who could pass up Frog Carols, the Denison Pequotsepos Nature Center in Mystic's (860-536-1216) tribute to the season featuring fanciful songs about amphibians set to traditional holiday tunes?
The Nutcracker, the perennial favorite for kids of all ages, will be presented by the Nutmeg Conservatory for the Arts at the Warner Theatre in Torrington (Dec. 3 and 4), the Palace Theatre in Waterbury (Dec. 10), and the Bushnell Center for the Performing Arts (860-987-5900) in Hartford (Dec. 17 and 18). Contact the theaters in order to buy tickets. The Nutcracker with Russia's St. Petersburg Classic Ballet Theatre will be presented at the Hyde Cultural Center in Woodstock, Dec.10 (860-928-2946) and from Dec. 2-4, the classic will take the stage at the Shubert Theater in New Haven, a production of the New Haven Ballet and New Haven Symphony (203-782-9038). And that's not all: for a lively twist on the Sugar Plum Fairy and her troops, there's the Duke Ellington Jazz Nutcracker, presented at St. Joseph College in West Hartford, Dec. 2-3, by the Hartford Conservatory. Created in the 1960's, this version combines the legendary jazz interpretations of Ellington and modern ballet.
This year, there will be no lack of another seasonal necessity, Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol. It will be presented at the Garde Arts Center in New London on Dec. 9. With a Currier and Ives setting, traditional carols and lively dancing, the Nebraska Theatre Caravan has produced the show since 1979. Hartford Stage (860-527-5151) will also mount a music-filled, funny production starring Scrooge and company through Dec. 24.
Another theatrical choice is Christmas in Candyland, presented by the Downtown Cabaret Children's Theatre in Bridgeport ((203-576-1636) through Dec. 18. This lavish musical tells the story of two children who help save King Kandy and his castle from the devious Lord Licorice.
For Kids of Any Age
Everyone knows that the winter holidays are, essentially, about kids – and the child in the rest of us. Connecticut has more than its share of enticing activities in December for families. These include:
The Children's Museum of Southeastern Connecticut in Niantic (860-691-1111) offers several holiday-themed events, starting with Holidays Around the World on Dec. 9, which uses crafts, stories and geography to illuminate the similarities among winter celebrations across world cultures. Holiday Tween Night takes place on Dec. 10 and features music, pizza and entertaining education specifically for tweens. And, 12 Days of Cheer is the museum's festival of lights with 12 days of special activities including a celebration of Christmas, Hanukah, Kwanzaa, Ramadan, the Winter Solstice and a Countdown to Noon New Year's Eve party.
St. George's Church in Middlebury offers the 38th Annual Gingerbread Village and Christmas Bazaar (203-758-9557), Dec. 3-10, with up to 60 gingerbread houses, people, animals and scenes that are all edible. And, in Stonington, Scandinavian holiday traditions are celebrated Dec. 4 in a St. Nicholas Day Celebration, featuring crafts and games, storytelling and refreshments for children (860-535-2476). The Annual Santa's Workshop at Wickham Park in Manchester (860-528-0856) takes place Dec. 10-11 and 15-23 and features visits with Mr. and Mrs. Claus and the elves in a log cabin.
Trains and the winter holidays have always been synonymous in many parts of the country, and Connecticut is no exception. Among the train-related holiday activities for kids are the Hands On Train Display at the Railroad Station in New Milford, through December (860-354-6080); the Danbury Railway Museum's Santa's Special Train Rides weekends through Dec. 18 (203-778-8337); vintage trolley rides in East Haven at the Line Trolley Museum's Santa on the Trolley weekends through Dec. 18 (203-467-6927), and Winterfest at the Connecticut Trolley Museum in East Windsor (860-6540), featuring electric sleighs and closed heated trolley rides through a tunnel of more than 6,000 holiday lights.
Finally, since the holidays are also about giving to others, how about a present for a favorite wild animal? Generous shoppers this year might consider giving a gift to the Beardsley Zoo in Bridgeport (203-394-6575). Choose from the Zoo's wish list, make a donation, give gift certificates or sponsor an educational program. Everything from bird or butterfly houses to a Zoomobile is needed. The Zoo is also sponsoring a series of Crafty ZooKids workshops, Dec. 3, 10 and 17 where kids ages 7-12 can make gifts while learning about animals at Professor Beardsley's Research Station.

Twenty years ago, a photographer's work was carried out under different conditions. Both in his working life and in the material he used. His camera was analog and making a sparse use of the shots was always necessary; with just 36 snapshots per roll. Iosu Pezonaga worked under these conditions when he managed to shoot this photo of which he now speaks so proudly.
The snapshot was taken from the ground level just inside the fencing, precisely at the Telefónica stretch. It all happened on the very last day of the 1996 Sanfermin fiestas. As Iosu himself recalls it, "The bull, from the Marqués de Domecq bull-ranch, was taking up the rear after having fallen in Estafeta Street and it arrived in an agitated state, charging at everything that moved on both sides ". In comparison with many of the very fast Runnings of the Bulls which we see so often today, this one could be considered as quite a long one at a time of 4min. 28sec" and which finished with just one runner suffering a goring.
Iosu Pezonaga has no hesitation in affirming that, to get a snapshot like that, it is necessary to have accumulated "not a little experience, not a little technical skill and a lot of luck". Capturing those kinds of moments, have tinges of unexpected heroism as it is always going to be something that is practically unforeseeable. "I had just jumped down inside the fencing and I was planning to take some photos at ground level and just then this big "Marqués de Domecq" appeared as it charged at the runner that you can see in the photo", relates Pezonaga.

It's official, our vanilla squad has merged with the Kriegbr�der clan. Kriegbr�der were a well respected and skilled team in their day and hopefully their bums on seats will help our teams to survive and proliferate for a long time to come. Our old GA team will be sunk as will the old Kriegbr�der and we'll start a new united team from scratch. The name of our team will be *AUS*: Kriegbr�der. We'll still wear the *AUS* tag and maintain our forum and server facilities in the name of *AUS*.
CaptTerrific was promoted to Captain for DC and SgtBarney passed his trial and is now a Private.
In an effort to bolster our BF42 team, we'll be announcing 2 new leaders soon, a Lieutenant and a Sergeant.
*AUS* have replaced the folded clan Tactical Retribution (R.I.P) in the 8vs8 GamingSA.com Battlefield 1942 tournament. Our first match is against TOG on Battleaxe, Sunday 24th October 2004!
In other news, we recently promoted a couple of members, The Rock to Corporal and Tom to Lance Corporal. We also inducted some trial members to full member status, they include: Bent Chopper Pilot, ColKlacker, Vasilli, IvoMan, MrMulla and Knives.
We'll be having another batch of promotions pretty soon, including the induction of a few more triallies to full members as well as announcing a new Captain. So stay tuned!


For some strange reason, everytime I exit a match after a victory with the Ottomans, the home city screen freezes and becomes unresponsive, forcing me to shut it down. This doesn't happen with any other civ and it's only begun in this present version and not any previous ones, as far as I know. Is there any fix to this?
I should also add: I have found that it only occurs when it is a 4 vs 4 match. I have experimented by going into 1 vs 1 and the home city loaded up fine after a match. It might be worthwhile to note I edited the mod's files to enable the Ottomans to have access to the Mercenary Tartar, Barbary Corsair, Cairo Mameluke, Bosniak Lancer, and Spahi. Not sure of that has anything to do with my problem.

Q: Do I have to Buy SQL Server to Use Access 2013 I'm reading through the online documentation about Access 2013 (and I hate it even more than 2007 when they removed user level security).  It keeps talking about how it uses SQL Server as the back end database.  My experience with SQL Server is that the free version is not great and the paid version is extremely expensive.
If I want to use Access 2013 at home, and I want the proper SQL Server, so I have to buy it?

A: You can buy SQL Server Developer Edition for somewhere between $40 and $50. Shop around. Developer Edition has all the features of Enterprise Edition, but different licensing terms (e.g. you can't run it in production). Also Express is more than adequate for a lot of small-medium sized applications.
That said, I think you are misreading the documentation. It most certainly says that you CAN use SQL Server as a backend database. There are plenty of Access-based applications out there that don't.

A: MS Access 2013 has a new engine called ACE, instead of the Jet engine used in previous versions. There are better integrations as a front end with SQL Server. However, you don't need an actual instance of SQL Server to use it.
http://accessexperts.com/blog/2012/08/20/10-things-we-love-about-access-2013/

A: If you want to use it at home you can always buy the SQL Server 2012 Developer Edition  which has the exact same functionallity as the full version.

The only limitation or difference from Enterprise to Developer is the
  license. You cannot use Developer in an environment other than
  development or you are violating your license agreement. Otherwise
  this functions exactly as Enterprise Edition.

The Dev version can be purchased for under $50 and here is just one link

This is a future scenario that opposed to the others shown so far really exists, at least in part.
The part really existing was a small settlement in the Eastern part of the Italian Dolomites near the village of Borca di Cadore (province of Belluno), a utopian construction serving for both recreation and education, the ENI Village. Built between the late 1950s and early 1960s and designed by Italian architect Edoardo Gellner, it embodied the concrete utopia the German philosopher Ernst Bloch demanded, for taking the very idea of a positive utopia serious at all. [1] Built at the foot of mount Antelao, it was a large compound of over 200 square kilometres, consisting of different architectures dispersed in the forest stretching over the mounts' foot. A colony of a part-time utopia.
Fig.1: Central area of the village [2]
The above plan shows the sites' central area with streets connecting the diverse units. Originally, the village had three types of buildings: large ones, namely a church built from E. Gellner and Carlo Scarpa, (in the plan: chiesa), and a large assembly hall (corte) with aligned facilities for housing and educating children. Then villas (ville) of diverse dimensions, in the plan visible as small rectangles; and triangular wooden huts located above the church, in an area called campeggio, "camping" used for children's education and summer camp. This area, as many other villas, are not shown in the plan; due to the villas' dispersal throughout the entire region outside the central area.
Fig. 2: An exemplary type of villa
From the organisation of city planning to architectural structure, the colony promoted a close relationship between buildings, residents and the natural surrounding forest environment, which was created from a pre-existing expanse of stones at the site. A winding road with sharp hairpin bends provided the main element around which parts of the village were organised: villas were grouped in blocks of 60 to 80 units, each of which was provided with its own facilities, including a shop, bar and playground.
In our presentation of the 'mountain' world, we tried to catch this important feature of dispersal; it had been the explicit goal of E. Gellner to achieve this, a kind of Walden in the holidays, and in this context, to achieve an almost complete amalgamation with nature. When visiting the site, one is not only astonished about its sheer dimension, but also of the fact that all the buildings, even the larger ones, seem to disappear in their natural surrounding of the forest that had originally grown there. Even more: to intensify such a conception, Gellner planted additional trees at places on the mountain slope where they originally did not occur, e.g. on former landslides or moraines. Recurring to old mythological images embedded in our culture, one has the impression that the nature/culture-divide determining so long a Western history of ideas [3] had to be overcome one for all times by a new form of cultural life: the one in the midst of nature.
This very aspect we tried to incorporate in our presentation, and for both Gellner and his patron, Enrico Mattei, it was decisive in building the facility.
Fig. 3: A cabin in the woods. One of the campeggio-huts
But intensifying nature by meliorating a natural site already existent through the additional planting of trees – which is an act of design, and hence, of culture – was not the only crucial aspect. It was also the patronage of Enrico Mattei, at those times the president of ENI, the national Italian energy company. He has been characterized as a visionary, and he was the one who wanted that concrete utopia to become true.
It was for his employees and their children, a combination of recreation (for the parents) and of education (for the children), the latter with a clear community-driven approach – it was about discipline, equality, and community in the tradition of catholic values, and concordant with it, about encouraging and developing a sense for the natural, in parents and children alike. To ensure maximum justice, the right for recreation was determined by chance, by a tombola; so that independent from the hierarchical rank in the company, everybody had equal chances to get there, from the lowest worker to the management board. Campanella and comparable utopians would have been pleased to see such a venture. [4]
Fig. 4: The walls of equality
The idea of equality is directly reflected in the architecture, too. In the children's facilities, the windows in the walls have been placed at different heights, so that from the smallest to the tall, each child can have a full outlook to nature. At the same time, it gives the walls an ornament-like character, underlined by their length due to the absence of stairs, to avoid the risk of casualties.
Not dissimilar to a Renaissance duke, it was his idea to built that utopia, putting a lot of effort in it; and like such a duke, Mattei cooperated with Gellner very tightly to achieve this. It is not by chance that the assembly hall is called corte, a name used for the residences of those forerunners of Mattei. To continue with such similarities, famous people, amongst them many politicians of that time (Khrushchev for instance, gifting a bear) visited the site and stayed a while, for discussing the project.
In building the utopia, Gellner had no financial restrictions, and all the Italian top of the art-materials of those times could be used. When we visited the assembly hall, the floor was made from a specific mixture from Pirelli-materials (the tire company), the lamps from Artemide, etc. The program was to show the top achievements of Italian industry and craftsmanship; therefore, only Italian companies had been installed to deliver materials and final products.
Fig. 5: Assembly Hall, interior; vista from the gallery
Fig. 6: Details. Design of the central window towards the outside
General outlay and details were designed with the same thoroughness, leaving no single corner without artistic care. It is important to understand the spirit out of which the whole was made: the single element too contributes to the general gestalt, and above that, enriches the whole with individuality and thus, with diversity. As life does.
The Mountain World
The triangular motive was decisive for the design of our Mountain World, combined with the idea of the teepee, the tent of the North American plain Indians. It is a dominant motive in the original construction already.
Fig. 7: Dominant forms. The assembly hall from the outside
Fig. 8: Dominant forms. The church
The triangular roofs of the two main buildings echo the shape of the tepee-like huts that once were the camp of the ENI-children, and mirror too the natural peaks of the mountains located beyond, thus providing a harmonious three-way link between nature, human and architecture to create a balanced public space. The horizontal flat roofed villas create a striking contrast with the wobbly vertical lines of the surrounding pine trees, again providing a sense of unity between the human, expressed in its buildings, and the natural.
Fig. 9: Culture in nature
Our on-screen Mountain World uses technology to create an accessible digital space, which visitors are invited to inhabit both visually and spiritually. The three-dimensional digital projection of different building types transforms the ENI village from a dream-like world, otherwise existing as a mere two-dimensional site map or series of photographs, into an on-screen 3-dimensional reality, whilst remaining at the same time the mere fantasy of its creators.
To underpin this and trying to present the essential character of this world at the same time, opposed to the other two worlds we present, here, abstraction has been pursued to its ultimate limit, presenting a world of art, of geometrical forms scattered over a wide landscape. It is deliberately left to the visitor's imagination to fill this space with life. To go most consequently on such a way, we designed the space as a whole like a tree-less desert, a tabula rasa or neutral Roman spatium, an essentially empty space filled with architectural objects to be brought to life still. [5] In such a space, the different architectures are clearly juxtaposed to each other, as types in a neutral space.
Fig. 10: The ENI village in abstract distance, for a future to be inhabited yet
Fig. 10a: Framework for a future, a bit more near (ENI village, abstract)
Related, to present architectures of the future in such a space has the benefit of symbolic comparison. The more since our world presented here is not confined to a past future, the ENI village, nor to a mountainous area although it had been named mountain world. When looking from the mountainside into an extended plain, we see triangular spiky, tepee-like structures scattered there in different patterns, and in the background the symbolized skyline of a big city, standing for our present as it is and our future as it will be in the very next time.
It is the megalopolis of our days, the predominant form of life for the majority of the global human population nowadays. The decisive turn was in 2018 when for the first time in human history, more people (55%) lived in urban areas than in the countryside. In a scenario of urban population growth over a timespan from 1950 – 2050, the United Nations estimate the percentage of world's population living in urban environments at 68% in 2050, compared to 30% in 1950. [6] Which kind of communities will develop there, until 2050? And which transformations will go on in European cities with a rich cultural heritage needed as "anthropological" places (M. Augé) for community-building? [7]
Fig. 11: The present at the horizon
Coming from the mountains, we see a large plain with a megalopolis, symbolical epitome of a present state of Being, at the horizon. It is a symbolic construction made of glass, and as an epitome of recent living, thousands of these buildings are imaginable, isolated towers of glass of a copy and paste-city without history or signs of development that provides the ubiquitous, inescapable environment for its inhabitants, the Lebenswelt of recent times. Transparent jails, despite the illusion of transparency and openness.
But there is more to realize than just that existing state of Being in the technified plains of the present, as Oswald Spengler said about such a modernity already at its beginning. [8] There are also other, less condensed and inhumane structures. We see the former ENI village are at the mountain's slope, little black dots reaching partially in the plain, stretching out in new terrain to be inhabited by future people leaving the megalopolis aside. There are also new structures visible in the plain, triangular "teepees" going into a liaison with the inherited utopian forms of the ENI village, allowing for new forms of settlement and community life.
A New World
The infinite space as longing of an occidental culture, the spatium of abstract space [9] symbolized by the plain starts to get populated by something new, and not only by the megalopolis. Old images occur: the mountain, a domain of retreat and clarity, of an upward movement of purification, but also as a symbol for the cosmos as such. Symbolized in many cultures as a world mountain – the temple pyramid, for instance – is opposed to the plain, the infinitely unstructured and essentially homogenous where Nietzsche' Zarathustra had to descend, the prophet coming from the mountains to the city. [10]
One of those old images, although presented in a futuristic form, is the tepee whose arrangements we see in the plain. Architect and designer Federico Delrosso, who spent long time in investigating this structure, says as a basic form, it goes back to the origins of habitation. Like primitive huts do, reflected in mythological terms in the image of the primordial primitive hut, going back to Vitruvius and the Renaissance, redetected in the Enlightenment by Laugier. [11] Filarete, architect of Sforzinda, a concrete utopia in the shape of the first explicitly elaborated ideal city in the Latin West that could be of real practical use, he wrote in the 15th century: The first need and necessity of man, after food, was habitation; he endeavored to construct a place where he could dwell. [12]
If we understand utopia, the ou-topos or non-place, not just in its traditional terms as a place not existing albeit longed for but also as a place where truly human life cannot exist, then the recent megalopolis is a utopia indeed.
Fig. 12: Abstract concepts of today and for tomorrow
Theoretically, there could be many alternative architectures to it, in terms of physically built space as well as of the architectures of social organization. We chose the amalgamation of the former ENI village with the teepees. Whereas Gellner wanted to achieve an ideal whole which holds real beauty in its creation of visual and symbolic unity between man and nature, the emphasis of the utopian tepee-construction lies on man, the new communities of human beings. For Delrosso, the real mission of an architect consists in the creation of soulful spaces, with its own unique identity, maintaining a delicate balance between form, function, and spirit of a place.
The topic of the anthropological place appears again, and it has to be avoided that the new structures of the teepee-like world just resemble unwillingly the old ones of the megalopolis. The more since as in every utopia, the historical dimension is missing eo ipso, that what has been grown over time, unfolding itself – which is the very idea of nature, of physis in its old, original understanding.[13]
One solution is to decentralize and to provide more flexible basic structures, adaptable and scalable to different social needs and forms of community development. For instance, via the tepee. The traditional Native American tent, says Delrosso, an ancient symbol of the house, carries the primordial notion of shelter, the first comfortable place of living. And it is an everlasting design still of relevance, with the potential to be reworked into contemporary buildings or installations, by compressing it into narrower urban and social spaces. Which are the ones of today, and those of the next future the UN report does outline.
Fig. 13: A flexible structure [14]
Fig. 13a: …and its plan [14]
The teepee transforms, deconstructs and reduces the concept of dwelling to its essence: a few elements connected to one another which, although being decomposed due to the compression into the urban fabric, still maintain its archetypal identity; an architecture that preserves distant memories becoming a spiritual and symbolic value. The connection to history, to genesis is established, the new utopia can not only become true but (more important) viable. Moreover, the basic form itself resembles nature because its upside-down, cone-shaped structure is pure in nature. Enhanced by its scalability, it can be amalgamated with different elements and can be positioned both in micro- and macro-environments; it can be connected to the world outside and inside or can be totally disconnected creating a world of its own. The tent-like structures made up by ensembles of those cone-shaped elements promise social interaction, communication, meeting. The teepees are created for larger, growing, increasingly urban societies. In more closed communities of about 500 people, they group together around larger centres up to 10.000 people; as in former city states, that era when civilization shaped itself for the first time.
Fig. 14: Reflections
The symbolic form of the teepee defines memory and keeps the recollection of time inside, becoming a generator of architectures, going through the development of villages, towns, cities, and even metropolises, says Delrosso. Allowing to overcome the inherent deficit of having no history, and to fulfil the mentioned anthropological demand for a human space and a human time.
With the Megapolis in the back, the teepees can be found in front of the mountain panorama as a formally logical reflection of nature on human-made formations. With its physical centrality and embodied spirit of order, the striking construction alludes to the unifying cathedral imagined by Lyonel Feininger and Bruno Taut's new earthly City of God in Alpine Architecture. Now, the vista is not from the mountains to the plain but vice versa. For as the upward-oriented look causes us to ascend into the mountains in a rise of purification, as part of a communal spiritual vision. Nietzsche's prophet is returning from the plain.

Mud cloth, or bògòlanfini in Bambara, is a traditional West African textile. As the name suggests, the fabric is created using fermented mud to produce pigment for dye. This St. Frank piece, made in central Mali, is comprised of Malian cotton, dyed with mud-based pigment from the Niger river, and decorated with geometric patterns drawn in soap. The patterns often represent animals or other objects from the natural world. Mud cloth was traditionally worn by hunters, offering camouflage, ritual protection, and a sign of status. More recently, mud cloth has become a symbol of Malian cultural identity and has been exported as an iconic international textile used in fashion, home design, and fine art.


GLENDALE, Ariz. — White Sox left-hander John Danks had to settle for pitching in a covered batting cage Saturday at Camelback Ranch rather than making his first start of spring training.
After idyllic weather for most of the first two weeks of practice, the Sox canceled their second Cactus League game against the Indians because of rain. Danks instead threw three simulated innings — about 45 pitches — and said he was pleased with his work on his cutter.
Danks said he was disappointed about missing the game.
Pitchers Dylan Axelrod, Eric Surkamp and Chris Beck also threw sessions Saturday. Right-hander Felipe Paulino will start as scheduled Sunday against the Rangers in Surprise, Ariz., making his appearance in a Sox uniform after signing as a free agent in December.
Not worried: Sox reliever Matt Lindstrom said he feels "probably zero" concern about the mild left oblique strain that sidelined him for Friday's Cactus League opener against the Dodgers.
Lindstrom, a closer candidate, said he felt a tweak when he was throwing a side session Wednesday and is being cautious.
Lindstrom was one of three closer candidates unavailable for game action Saturday. Nate Jones continues to progress from a gluteal strain and could be back to normal in the coming week. Daniel Webb left the team temporarily because of a death in his family. There is no set timetable for his return.
Done deals: The Sox announced one-year deals for 24 players Saturday to complete contracts with all players on their 40-man roster. Left-hander Jose Quintana received the largest contract of the group at $550,000, and Jones followed with a deal for $545,000.
The minimum salary for major league players in 2014 is $500,000.
Right-hander Erik Johnson, outfielders Avisail Garcia and Adam Eaton, third basemen Conor Gillaspie and Matt Davidson and catcher Josh Phegley were among notable others in the group.
Extra innings: Phegley was out sick Saturday. Adrian Nieto will likely take his place at catcher behind Tyler Flowers in the lineup Sunday. … Sox manager Robin Ventura said third baseman Jeff Keppinger, who is coming back from minor offseason shoulder surgery, slowly is progressing and should hit in the next couple of days.

Abstract Stimulated wave of polarization, triggered by a flip of a single spin, presents a simple model of quantum amplification. Previously, it has been found that such a wave can be excited in a one-dimensional Ising chain with nearest-neighbor interactions, irradiated by a weak resonant transverse field. Here we explore models with more realistic Hamiltonians, in particular, with natural dipole-dipole interactions. Results of simulations for one- dimensional spin chains and rings with up to nine spins are presented.

Estate mediation works for those who families who are involved in difficult family estate disputes. As specialized estate mediators, we understand the complex nature of these matters. These disputes can become very personal, relating to your every day existence, finances, relationships, family and future. These issues require specific and realistic solutions.
Many conflicts that arose with family members during their life together often arise again during the formation of estate plans, during their actual execution, or when one or more of the parties pass away. Many families battle over money, control, power, and inheritances. Other families want mediation to provide a smooth transition into the next phase of their lives.
All of these changes can affect not only your daily life and finances but also those of your relatives, children, friends, and business partners. The collateral damage can be exponential. Additional stress and conflict is created at the time when people are least able to manage it properly.
Estate Mediation goes beneath the surface, defines the real issues, and resolves them before they escalate into a lawsuit. At Alternative Law, we can help to bring closure and provide a just settlement to these situations to allow all parties to move on with their lives in a timely and fair manner.
If your case is already involved in litigation, our estate and inheritance mediators can usually settle it before any more wasted time or money is expended.


This past weekend, I was fortunate enough to attend IndieCade 2015 in Culver City. For those not in the know, IndieCade is essentially the Sundance of video games, with independent developers from around the world showing off their latest projects. On display were a menagerie of different genres with an even wider array of platforms. I met some interesting people and played their fascinating games, and I was blown away by what I saw. Here are some upcoming titles that you should definitely keep on your radar.
Note that due to the nature of independent game production, solid release dates do not exist.
Developed entirely by developer Ben Esposito, DONUT COUNTY was a crowd favorite at IndieCade. You might know Ben from his collaboration on the bizarro SONIC DREAMS COLLECTION that appeared out of nowhere a few months back, and that creativity is again evident in his latest title. DONUT COUNTY is best described as an inverse KATAMARI DAMACY. While sharing the bright, cheery visuals and tone of the Japanese puzzler, DONUT COUNTY eschews the ever growing Katamari ball for a voracious Donut. Unlike a Krispy Kreme, however, this donut is a black hole that players drag across the ground, swallowing objects above it. As more people and items fall inside, the hole grows larger. The Donut can assume elemental properties as well, becoming a furnace if it swallows a campfire, or a pool if it absorbs a puddle. Characters that fall into the Donut will appear as customers inside the eponymous donut shop that you own, ensuring that the hub world is always expanding. You can expect DONUT COUNTY to release in late 2015.
The highlight of my trip to InideCade's VR tent was without a doubt Sunken Places' CLASSROOM AQUATIC. Players assume the role of a foreign exchange student studying underwater at a dolphin high school. Unlike your hyper-intelligent, undersea classmates, you did not study for the upcoming test, which means that you'll have to cheat. Using the Oculus Rift headset, the player must peek at another student's test to copy their answers, all while avoiding getting caught by them or the teacher, Mr. Porpoise. Bottlenose anatomy means that your fellow students have impressive peripheral vision, making your answer borrowing a calculated risk. Distractions can be caused by throwing erasers at objects or dolphins, but getting caught or failing to turn in your exam after five minutes will cause the player to flunk the class. Sunken Places touts CLASSROOM AQUATIC as the Oculus' first stealth trivia, and while that classification alone sets a precedent, the game may be the most immersive VR experience in development. CLASSROOM AQUATIC is aiming for a Q2 2016 release date.
Possibly the most ambitious game at IndieCade, TWELVE MINUTES is another one-man job helmed by Luis Antonio. TWELVE MINUTES sees working man protagonist Aaron coming home to a dinner prepared by his wife. After a few minutes, a cop will enter the single-bedroom apartment and arrest Aaron. After twelve minutes, however, Aaron wakes up immediately after he entered his home. This process is repeated ad infinitum, with Aaron remaining conscious throughout the experience. If Aaron attempts to leave the apartment, the loop will restart. Using clues he retains from each time loop, Aaron must figure out what is going on in order to escape. The concept is similar to LIFE IS STRANGE, but while that game skewed towards THE BUTTERFLY EFFECT, TWELVE MINUTES is more similar to the Bill Murray escapade GROUNDHOG DAY. Each loop lasts twelve minutes in real time, and players will have to memorize when and where each event happens. There are a crazy number of variables, ranging from when phone contacts will answer calls to whether your wife hears you come in or not. The possibilities for experimentation are absolutely tantalizing. You should be able to crack the enigma of TWELVE MINUTES yourself in Q3 2016.
TEMPLE OF YOG is CHUDCHUD Industries' soon-to-be-released episodic roguelike dungeon-crawler coming out on the Nintendo eShop. If that description made you scratch your head, you're not alone. In TEMPLE OF YOG, you control a human tribute from one of four guilds, determining their class. Your Mage, Cleric, Warrior, or Assassin will enter the Temple Portal to their certain death, waging battle against the monsters inside. Once a tribute dies, the points they earned in their run are tallied up to determine the worthiness of their sacrifice. The game then returns to the village outside the temple, where the player selects the next tribute to enter the portal. Points earned inside the portal are spent on upgrades for each of the four guilds, which affect the stats of all future tributes from that faction. In addition, accruing enough sacrifices will cause the village to advance to the next epoch, with more epochs becoming available in future updates. Within the portal, TEMPLE OF YOG utilizes the dual screens of Nintendo's platforms in the form of the Shadow Realm. Map layouts differ between the Light Realm and Shadow Realm, with certain enemies and items only appearing in certain planes of existence. Tributes can shift between realms on the go, using the bottom screen to preview what the other realm looks like before switching. Players can travel between realms to escape enemies and reach inaccessible areas. Quests and dungeons are randomly generated, ensuring the process of human sacrifice never becomes stale. TEMPLE OF YOG is set to release in December of 2015 on Wii U, with a 3DS version slated to come afterwards.
Finji's tactical survival game OVERLAND excites me on multiple levels. The game is probably best described as XCOM meets Cormac McCarthy's THE ROAD. The player guides a group of survivors on a roadtrip across post-apocalyptic America. During encounters along the way, survivors take turns gathering supplies and clearing paths for their vehicle to progress. Unfortunately, the land is rife with sound-sensitive, subterranean, flesh-eating monsters, and the humans will have to stick close to survive. From campsites, the survivors plan their route, either taking the most direct route, or choosing dangerous but potentially profitable detours. Fuel, car space, and survivor health and aptitudes are all factors that need to be considered when deciding each action, with permanent deaths and randomized environments keeping the player on edge. OVERLAND will be rolling through digital retailers sometime in 2016.
The OXENFREE station was swarming with onlookers at IndieCade, and with good reason. This is developer Night School Studio's first game, but their team includes veterans from both Telltale Games and Disney, which is reason enough to get excited. OXENFREE stars Alex, your typical, bubblegum blue-haired girl, who decides to spend the night with her friends on an abandoned military test site. Of course, strange things start to happen in the form of some spooky anomalies that appear in response to the frequency on Alex's portable radio. Trapped without phone service, the teens need to figure out the island's supernatural secret if they're to see the next morning. In addition to light platforming elements, Alex can whip out her radio at any time and tune into radio stations or discover sources of anomalies. The most impressive aspect of OXENFREE, however, is its dialogue system, which features multiple characters speaking simultaneously. The player can interrupt, or be interrupted, depending on when they choose to respond. When the group begins to freak out, they'll start talking over each other, encouraging the player to think not only about what they say, but when. Tune in at the start of 2016 for OXENFREE's launch.

Q: Is it possible to get all OSM nodes (are not belong to any way) using the Overpass API? I want to get all OSM nodes (are not belong to any way).
Is it possible?
Understandably, this query get all nodes (includes member of ways)...
<osm-script output="json">
    <query type="node">
      <bbox-query {{bbox}}/>
    </query>
    <print/>
</osm-script>

Update 19 Sep 20:20(GMT+9:00)
I tried tyr's query and success!

A: Actually, this is possible since the latest version of Overpass API:
<osm-script output="json">
  <query type="way">
    <bbox-query {{bbox}}/>
  </query>
  <recurse type="way-node" into="waynodes"/>
  <query type="node" into="allnodes">
    <bbox-query {{bbox}}/>
  </query>
  <difference>
    <item set="allnodes"/>
    <item set="waynodes"/>
  </difference>
  <print/>
</osm-script>

http://overpass-turbo.eu/s/14F
This uses the difference operator to subtract nodes that are member of any ways from all of the nodes.


This is a guest post by Mark Pack. If you want to guest post on this blog, check out the guidelines here.
The least popular posts on my blog are the most important.
Sounds like I've made a mistake in typing that sentence, doesn't it? But when it comes to reaching an audience, he top 10 posts in any month on my blog typically only account for between a quarter and third of the total traffic.
In other words, it's not the most popular posts that make or break reaching a good sized audience — it's the collective effort of the least popular. In my experience, many blogs have a similar pattern. It's an application of Chris Anderson's long tail idea. It also raises two questions. If this isn't the pattern on your blog, are you missing out on something? And if it is the pattern, how can you make the most of it?
If your pattern is different, it's worth asking yourself whether there is a good reason for that. A blog that regularly picks up large influxes of traffic from external sources, such as Digg, could expect the most popular posts to be a much higher proportion overall. But do think carefully about whether or not there really is a good reason for you not having a long tail effect. If you do, please do share your experience in the comments. If you don't, then there is an opportunity for you to grasp.
Whether it's creating your long tail, or improving on one that you already have, there are some similar steps to think through.
your audience is looking for.
Moreover, it's quite common for people who are interested in the same information to be interested in it at different times. The bigger the archive of content you build up, the more likely it is that what interested you at some point in time is what someone in your audience is interested in right now.
Second, keep your old content updated. Many posts will happily stand the test of time, but where events or your knowledge have moved on, go back and update your posts.
Third, cross-link between posts. If people are still interested in your older content, it makes sense to make it easier for them to find it. Software solutions such as the "Yet Another Related Posts" plugin for WordPress are a handy way of generating automated links to similar content at the bottom of your posts. Tags and categories are another way of getting links through to other posts.
However, you usually get much better click-through rates from links in the body of the post than you get from a list of other content below or to the side of the post. So work in references and links to your older posts as you write new ones.
Fourth, keep an eye on your blog statistics. Amongst the long tail there may be some surprisingly popular posts. That gives you a clue as to what topics may be good to return to or write about more often than you were planning to.
the core audiences I would like my blog to reach, so it has not resulted in me significantly upping the historical content. However, your experience may well be different.
Got any other suggestions? Do share them in the comments below.
This month was an exception for my blog because one of my post got slashdotted and another one got about 500 visitors from stumbleupon, but I'd guess it is true that less popular posts are also important. I've read a lot about the long tail, but I am not sure whether it's not exaggerated. I think my popular posts get more pageviews than the rest of my posts accumulated.
Good set of comments and feedback – thanks. The point about keeping comments open is a good one. If you've got a decent spam protection setup then the extra spam this will generate is easily dealt with, whilst you get the benefits of the extra genuine comments coming in.
This is how I grew one of my blogs, and why I tell new bloggers to write frequently and not worry about what looks like a small amount of traffic at first.
Individual posts might only get 20 visitors a day but if you've written 100 posts suddenly you're getting 2000 visitors per day.
Keep comments open. That's my top tip. Too many sites automatically close comments after a few months – usually to prevent spam.
Keeping comments open allows an older blog post to spring back to life months – or years – after it was first published.
Indeed. At the beginning when information about an item is not flourishing, it is easy to locate useful articles or posts with short tail keyword search. But as the competition for keyword becomes fierce, the folk would turn to long tail keyword search in an attempt to reach the information they need. So it is what makes a blog outstanding by elaborating long tail keywords. Most of the recent traffic to my blog is based on long tail. That could prove a point.
Thanks for sharing the truth.
if we will target short term keyword then we can't get good visitors and good ranking in all major search engine.
So I always try long tail keyword for new site and also I get good target visitors and good ranking within short period.
Long-Tail is also a great argument for introducing blogs within a company. The traditional intranet supplied by editors mostly only covers the left part, i.e. information valuable to many people. Blogs with a diverse set of posts do also unveil the right (tail) part, i.e. they make information available that might be of interest only for a few, but may be of great inportance for them.
I have been focusing on long-tail keywords for a couple of my new blogs and have been seeing great results. But for a while at the beginning you really do start to question whether it was worth it.
This is highly informative. I will try using the links in the body of the post than putting a list of other content below or to the side of the post. I think what I must try devising now is how to incorporate my old posts with the ones I am currently writing.
"The least popular posts on my blog are the most important." Totally agree . Because the least important posts on my blogs are links to contact me as well as affiliated ones . You, like me count on this for improvement and motivation.
This is an important topic to be aware of. I have noticed that on my site, the majority of the traffic is the trickle to older posts as opposed to the ones I thought would be the most popular.
People have needs and Google things at different times, not just shortly after you post something. So yeah, it's important to be aware of what people are showing up at your site for and always try to keep older content up to date.
This is great stuff. Linking to older posts is a good idea and updating older posts is also an interesting concept. I also am not looking for "identikit" readers. I am hoping to generate traffic from all walks of life. Now that I have been writing for a while I have older content to refer and link to. I will now explore Chris Anderson's long tail concept that you mentioned in the article. This is great information.
My buddy is a longtime blogger, He always talks about dailyblogtips.com and how it has helped him. I never gave it much thought, but now that I'm starting my own blog, I can see what he means. Thanks for the advice.
This is exactly my experience, and I attempt to write at least one long very detailed technical article each week. These articles end up drawing the majority of my organic search traffic.
I just see what is my mistake in blogging all this while. It's not about giving people temporary information, but it's about giving people something that makes them keeps searching for it.
However it is, cross-link between post maybe could help me to overcome the mistake.
I notice that some of my recent stuff gets noticed and searched for although I have not been blogging for a long period of time.
Most people overlook the small things in life and I guess you could say blogging is no different. Sometimes people go for the big picture and forget the small stuff so even though you have a great little article that isn't all that "great", you might not get much traffic now or even at all and it could actually be an article definitely worth reading.
Crafting content for long tail keywords may not produce immediate results, but yeah, as you said, they deffinetely provide great value in large numbers and over time.
I've found that the longtail posts on my site ar much, much more consistent in bringing traffic every month than my popular posts.
All too often my popular posts will drop ranking and produce less in the long run – mostly because they are targeted to competetive keywords.

Q: Refresh Hazelcast Cache in Payara I have an application in JEE on Payara, in which one of the functionalities is loading and displaying an image by the application every 5 minutes from an external server. The problem is that in order to display this picture you have to reset Payara every time.
Probably the problem is the cache in Payara (data grid). However, I don't know how to change the configuration so that cache refreshes itself. I was looking at the data grid configuration and didn't find anything like that. Could you tell us how to do that?

Changing Attitudes toward Marijuana Legalization
David Kordus
Subscribe to our blog →
Six years ago, a California ballot initiative to legalize marijuana for recreational use fell short of a majority—46.5% voted yes. This November, Californians will vote on Proposition 64, another marijuana legalization initiative. Since the 2010 election, four other states and the District of Columbia have legalized marijuana for recreational use, and, in California, the PPIC Statewide Survey series has found increased support for legalization among likely voters and within some key groups.
In our September survey, after hearing the Proposition 64 ballot title and label, 60% of California likely voters said they would vote yes. That includes strong majorities of Democrats and independents and nearly half of Republicans.
Support has increased among likely voters. In response to a separate, more general question, a similar share (61%) of likely voters said that they think marijuana use should be legal. That's a 10 point increase in support for legalization in general since September 2010, when about half of likely voters said they were in favor.
The partisan divide has narrowed. We have consistently found support for legalization in general to be lower among Republican likely voters than among Democrats or independents, but the gap is somewhat narrower today than it was in 2010. Then as now, at least 60% of Democratic and independent likely voters supported legalization. Among Republicans, though, support has increased from 32% in September 2010 to 45% in September of this year.
Support has grown among older Californians. Today, nearly three-fourths of California likely voters under age 35 favor legalization, and they are more likely than older Californians to do so—a pattern that has held since 2010. But support for marijuana legalization has increased among older Californians over the past six years. Today, nearly two-thirds of likely voters age 35 to 54 support legalization, compared to about half in 2010. A slight majority of likely voters age 55 and over are in favor today, while fewer than half favored it in 2010.
As with any election outcome, much will depend on who turns out to vote. Based on past election cycles, we can expect a larger—and younger—electorate in this presidential election year than we saw in the midterm election year of 2010. It remains to be seen, though, if Californians' changing attitudes toward marijuana legalization will be reflected in the vote on Proposition 64.

Q: How prove this $\left(\int_{-\pi}^{\pi}f(x)\sin{x}dx\right)^2+\left(\int_{-\pi}^{\pi}f(x)\cos{x}dx\right)^2\le\frac{\pi}{2}\int_{-\pi}^{+\pi}f^2(x)dx$ Prove or disprove:
if $f(x)\ge 0,\forall x\in [-\pi,\pi]$,show that
$$\left(\int_{-\pi}^{\pi}f(x)\sin{x}dx\right)^2+\left(\int_{-\pi}^{\pi}f(x)\cos{x}dx\right)^2\le\dfrac{\pi}{2}\int_{-\pi}^{+\pi}f^2(x)dx$$
I can prove this if $2\pi$ takes the place of $\dfrac{\pi}{2}$
because  use Cauchy-schwarz inequality  we have
$$\left(\int_{-\pi}^{\pi}f(x)\sin{x}dx\right)^2\le\int_{-\pi}^{\pi}\sin^2{x}dx\int_{-\pi}^{\pi}f^2(x)dx$$
$$\left(\int_{-\pi}^{\pi}f(x)\cos{x}dx\right)^2\le\int_{-\pi}^{\pi}\cos^2{x}dx\int_{-\pi}^{\pi}f^2(x)dx$$
add this two  inequality, we have
$$\begin{align*}\left(\int_{-\pi}^{\pi}f(x)\sin{x}dx\right)^2+\left(\int_{-\pi}^{\pi}f(x)\cos{x}dx\right)^2 &\le \int_{-\pi}^{\pi}f^2(x)dx\int_{-\pi}^{\pi}(\sin^2{x}+\cos^2{x})dx\\
&=2\pi\int_{-\pi}^{+\pi}f^2(x)dx\end{align*}$$
see this Discrete form of inequality:Prove this inequality with Cauchy-Schwarz inequality
So far, I haven't found any counterexamples,such  $f(x)=1,\sin{x}+1$ it such this inequality

A: Note that
\begin{align*}
\int_{-\pi}^\pi f(x) \sin x \,dx
&= \int_0^{\pi/2} (f(x) - f(x - \pi) + f(\pi - x) - f(-x)) \sin x \,dx \\
&= \int_0^{\pi/2} (g(x) + h(x)) \sin x \,dx
\end{align*}
and similarly
\begin{align*}
\int_{-\pi}^\pi f(x) \cos x \,dx
&= \int_0^{\pi/2} (f(x) - f(x - \pi) - f(\pi - x) + f(-x)) \cos x \,dx \\
&= \int_0^{\pi/2} (g(x) - h(x)) \cos x \,dx
\end{align*}
where we define $g, h : [0, \pi/2] \to \mathbb{R}$ by $g(x) = f(x) - f(x - \pi)$ and $h(x) = f(\pi - x) - f(-x)$.
Then by Cauchy-Schwarz,
\begin{align*}
\left(\int_0^{\pi/2} (g(x) + h(x)) \sin x \,dx\right)^2
&\leq \int_0^{\pi/2} \sin^2 x \,dx \int_0^{\pi/2} (g(x) + h(x))^2 \,dx \\
&= \frac{\pi}{4} \int_0^{\pi/2} (g(x) + h(x))^2 \,dx
\end{align*}
and
\begin{align*}
\left(\int_0^{\pi/2} (g(x) - h(x)) \cos x \,dx\right)^2
&\leq \int_0^{\pi/2} \cos^2 x \,dx \int_0^{\pi/2} (g(x) - h(x))^2 \,dx \\
&= \frac{\pi}{4} \int_0^{\pi/2} (g(x) - h(x))^2 \,dx
\end{align*}
hence
\begin{align*}
\left(\int_{-\pi}^\pi f(x) \sin x \,dx\right)^2 &+ \left(\int_{-\pi}^\pi f(x) \cos x \,dx\right)^2 \\
&\leq \frac{\pi}{4} \int_0^{\pi/2} (g(x) + h(x))^2 \,dx + \frac{\pi}{4} \int_0^{\pi/2} (g(x) - h(x))^2 \,dx\\
&= \frac{\pi}{2} \int_0^{\pi/2} (g(x))^2 + (h(x))^2 \,dx \\
&\leq \frac{\pi}{2} \int_0^{\pi/2} (f(x))^2 + (f(x - \pi))^2 + (f(\pi - x))^2 + (f(-x))^2 \,dx \\
&= \frac{\pi}{2} \int_{-\pi}^\pi (f(x))^2 \,dx
\end{align*}
as desired, where the last inequality holds because $f$ is nonnegative.

A: I think so. We can assume that $f$ is $2\pi$-periodic over $\mathbb{R}$. The sum of integrals on the left-hand side is presented in the form $\left|\displaystyle\int\limits_{-\pi}^{\pi}f(x)e^{ix}\,dx\right|^2=|\rho e^{i\alpha}|^2=\rho^2$.
But due to $2\pi$-periodicity, $$\rho=\rho e^{i\alpha}e^{-i\alpha}=\displaystyle\int\limits_{-\pi}^{\pi}f(x)e^{i(x-\alpha)}\,dx=\displaystyle\int\limits_{-\pi}^{\pi}f(t+\alpha)e^{it}\,dt.$$
Since $f$ is real-valued, $\rho=\displaystyle\int\limits_{-\pi}^{\pi}f(t+\alpha)\cos t\,dt$. Since $f\geq0$ we have $\rho\leq\displaystyle\int\limits_{-\frac{\pi}{2}}^{\frac{\pi}{2}}f(t+\alpha)\cos t\,dt$. Therefore, $$\rho^2\leq\displaystyle\int\limits_{-\frac{\pi}{2}}^{\frac{\pi}{2}}f^2(t+\alpha)\,dt\displaystyle\int\limits_{-\frac{\pi}{2}}^{\frac{\pi}{2}}\cos^2 t\,dt\leq\frac{\pi}{2}\displaystyle\int\limits_{-\pi}^{\pi}f^2(t+\alpha)\,dt=\frac{\pi}{2}\displaystyle\int\limits_{-\pi}^{\pi}f^2(\tau)\,d\tau.$$

A: This is a consequence of parseval identity. Let $\mathcal{H}$ a Hilbert space (dont worry all you need to know is that you have an inner product and the concept of orthogonal vectors, i.e. when $\langle f, g\rangle = 0$ and that the norm is given by $\langle f, f \rangle = \lVert f \rVert^2$) and let $\{e_n\}$ be a numerable orthonormal set then if $f \in \mathcal{H}$
$$
\sum_n \lvert \langle e_n, f\rangle \rvert^2 \leq \lVert f \rVert^2.
$$
with equality if $\{e_n\}$ is a basis. In this case
$$
\lVert f \rVert^2 = \int_{-\pi}^{\pi} \lvert f(x) \rvert^2 \,dx
$$
and
$$
e_1(x) = A\cos(x), \quad e_2(x) = A\sin(x)
$$
where $A$ is chosen so they are normal.
Parseval identity is deduced from the fact that for orthonormal (it also works with orthogonal, but the last equality is not true) vectors $u_n$ one has
$$
\lVert \sum a_n u_n \rVert^2 = \sum \lVert  a_n u_n \rVert^2 = \sum \lvert  a_n \rvert^2
$$
and you can write
$$
f = \langle e_1,f \rangle e_1 + \langle e_2, f\rangle e_2 + (f - \langle e_1,f \rangle e_1 + \langle e_2, f\rangle e_2)
$$
where the 3 parts of the sum are orthogonal and you have that the norm of $f$ is bigger than the norm of the first 2 terms.
EDIT: it seems the constants are off. It does not coincide with the one in parseval's.

Doctor who inappropriately touched patients gets prison term
(Photo courtesy of The Office of Sen. Pat Toomey)
ROCKFORD, Ill. (AP) - A northern Illinois doctor who pleaded guilty to aggravated battery after an investigation revealed he inappropriately touched three female patients has been sentenced to a second nine-year prison term.
In a news release, the Winnebago County State's Attorney's office says that 64-year-old Charles Dehaan must complete the sentence that was handed down in federal court earlier this year before he begins serving the sentence imposed by a county judge on Friday.
State's Attorney Marilyn Hite Ross says that the three victims came forward independently to report that the Rockford physician inappropriately touched them in a sexual manner between October 2010 and December 2013 during house calls as part of his medical practice. Two of the women were over 60 years old and the third was physically disabled.
