A few months ago, I read Alice Ozma's book, The Reading Promise. I was so taken by her story that I blogged all about it . Next, my boys and I decided to follow in Alice and her father's footsteps by trying our own summer reading challenge.
And now we're joining new friends with a reading challenge of their own!
Fourth grade teacher, Katie Hartman, at Sinking Springs Elementary School in PA was so inspired by The Reading Promise that she started a reading streak with her entire class and set up a blog about it and invited parents from her school to make the commitment to read aloud with their children regularly. Katie also found my posts about our reading streak and invited us to share our reading experiences with her school.
Pretty exciting, don't you think? Well… at least I'm all keyed up over this new twist to our reading challenge. I'll be guest blogging on the Sinking Spring's Reading Project. First introductory post went up today. If you'd like to take a look, you can find me here.
Reading alone, in parallel or aloud. Sharing titles, feelings and opinions. Connecting over a story. Such a simple, but powerful, wonderful thing.
During our recent California trip, my Japanese sister-in-law introduced us to a delightfully refreshing & easy to make snack – soba!
We were long past lunch but hours away from dinner.. Our boys had been swimming in their uncle & auntie's pool all afternoon. We were hot, tired and ready for something to munch on. At my house, I would have just pulled out a jar of almonds or bag of chips or perhaps just a banana… so it was a lucky thing for us that we weren't at home. Instead, we were treated to this cool, light, yet satiating semi-meal that Missy whipped up in under 15 minutes.
We enjoyed this dish so much that I took notes so I'd be able to make it for us once we returned to NYC. Which I did… super easy to make and just as delicious in NYC as in LA. The toughest part to making this snack is buying the groceries. I didn't see the soup base at our local grocery store, so I ended up going to a Japanese grocery store (M2M in NYC) to buy all the ingredients.
Soba soup base. No need to heat this up. In fact, served cold on a hot summer day is perfect. Just pour a modest amount of this salty tasty broth into a small bowl (think Asian teacup sized).
Seaweed. Not the salted & roasted Korean version. Use the Japanese sushi kind.
Dice scallions. Just a dollop of wasabi. Use scissors to cut up the seaweed (I used just one sheet of seaweed here).
The soba noodles cook up really fast. So be sure to keep an eye on it & stir as needed. I took it off the stove as soon as it lost its floury taste. Rinse thoroughly in cold water. Toss with ice cubes and drain noodles.
Add any or all of the scallion, Nori and wasabi to the soba soup base. Mix.
Dip a big chopstick full of soba noodle into the broth and slurp it up (Missy says the slurping part is mandatory).
Thanks Missy – we loved it! And looking forward to seeing you & Taek again soon!!!
Home at last from visiting family & playing at Disneyland. We had a blast running about Disney for 5 days, but I am really beat! I've got to say, Disney is not for the faint of heart… especially when your (my) spouse is determined to make the most efficient use out of every Disney moment of the day.
5:30 am: Jin pops right out of bed. Packs drinks and snacks for us. Drags Val, Si & E out of bed.
7:00 am: Early entrance to Disney California Adventure (for Disney resort guests only). Run about and ride either Toy Story Midway Mania or the new Radiator Springs Racers ride as many times as possible before official opening of park.
8 am – 2 pm: Continue to play in California Adventure.
2 pm – 6 pm: Back to hotel. Swim. Lounge. Nap. Eat.
6 pm -10:30 pm: Head over to Disneyland Park.
10:30 pm: Walk the shopping gauntlet known as Disney Main Street. So tempting to buy stuff. Any stuff. Every single time.
11:15 pm: Drop face first into bed. Definitely asleep before head hits pillow.
Be ready to repeat the schedule the next day….
We had an insanely good time together. Our boys were finally big enough to keep up with us all day.
Simon discovered a passion for roller coasters. He & Jin made it their mission to get on every roller coaster in the parks.
And went on rides that didn't make me want to vomit or have an anxiety attack (yes, I really am a coward when it comes to roller coasters).
We were just as excited to eat our favorite park foods as we were to go on the rides. Corn dogs. Churros. Those great big turkey legs. Talk about indulgence!
All in all, we had an exhausting but truly splendid family adventure. What a great way to finish the summer.
I'm proud to say we are still reading; even if it's just the minimum daily amount specified in our summer reading challenge.
We're a bit of a sight… we've been reading at 6:30 in the morning as we wait in line to enter Disney California Adventure.
Actually, Jin is the one holding our place in line at the special entrance from our hotel into the park. The boys crouch over their cold "breakfast" (can we really count sugared cereals as food?) while I slurp coffee and read to them.
We are just one chapter away from completing our seventh read aloud this summer: The Wolves of Willoughby Chase by Joan Aiken.
I picked this book for myself.
It's the story of two little cousins. Sylvia, orphaned and gently reared by her poverty stricken aunt, sent to live with her wealthy cousin. Bonnie, privileged and beloved only child of Sir Willoughby and Lady Green. Her fairytale childhood shadowed her parent's imminent journey to warmer climates in hopes of improving her mother's poor health. It's about what happens when their supposed governess turns out to be an evil villain. Bonnie is made an orphan. Faithful servants are thrown out of Willoughby Chase. The girls are sent off to slave away for a cruel woman hiding behind the guise of school mistress. How can there be a happy end to this terrible string of events?
I adored reading this story as a child. Can't recall what brought this story to mind but I had a yearning to read it again with the boys. I didn't see it in the bookstores, but I was able to order a copy from Amazon.
The first few chapters were rocky ones. The language in the book is more sophisticated than the boys are accustomed to. The setting completely unfamiliar (19th century England). We had to stop numerous times to discuss new ideas and vocabulary. Why was Sylvia so poor? Why couldn't her Aunt Jane just find a job? How could she just be sent off to live with a cousin? What did it mean that Bonnie's father was a "Lord?" Why did Bonnie live on a "Park?" And how big as that park anyway? Who were all the other people living in Bonnie's home? Servants? What? And why were servants called only by their last names?
Their questions were endless. I was starting to think I'd made a poor book choice. But somewhere during Sylvia's terrifying wolf haunted train ride to Willoughby Chase, the story clicked into place for us and my boys were hooked.
I loved this story enough as a child to remember it 30 years later. Although I didn't have the same reaction to it as an adult, I'm so glad I had the chance to experience the book again with my own children. It's also been interesting to discover how much writing styles have morphed over time. I read this quite effortlessly to myself years ago. In the present, my boys struggled to fall into the rhythm of the words. Especially glad that we did this one aloud. I'm sure they would have given this one up in frustration if they'd tried it on their own first. But here we are, at the end of the story and both boys are eager to discover what happens to Bonnie, Sylvia and that terrible Miss Slighcarp at the end of the story.
Would you believe we were one of the first guests to enter Disney California Adventures this morning? Is that not completely crazy?
Determined to avoid the 2-3 hour wait in line for the Radiator Springs Racers ride (the hottest new attraction on the parks), Jin dragged us out of bed at 5:40 this morning. We were in line to enter the park by 6:20. And no, we were not alone in our insanity.
No worries. We were, after all, in Disneyland! It took us only a split second to decide our back up plan.
We jogged over to Paradise Pier and were the first to ride Toy Story Midway Mania.
We're wild about this attraction. We play in teams. "Team Tuck & Roll" (Simon & me) versus "Team Chip & Dale" (Jin & Ethan). We play as many times as we can stand to wait in the queue (usually at least 45 minutes each time). We then tally our team scores to determine the winner.
Do you know what it means to be at California Adventure one whole hour before the official opening? It means we got to play 4 rounds of Midway Mania with absolutely zero wait time. It was awesome!
A hands down victory for Team Chip & Dale. They beat us in every single round and of course, took the overall win with the cumulative score of 1,043,300.
We (Team Tuck & Roll) were distraught. What on earth had happened? How could we have been crushed by such a wide margin? True, Jin is the one power player in the family… but we'd managed to beat him before… Si & I gnashed our teeth and ripped at our hair as we looked the scores over again… was there a math error? Had our performance been that awful? What….?
All this, and the park had yet to officially open. It was a grand morning. And will be an even grander evening. We've rested up during the afternoon heat & should be ready to go another round once the evening breezes roll in.
Will most definitely have more to share about this summer's Disney adventure.
One final thought. If we can get out of bed early enough, we get to enter the park at 7 tomorrow morning as well. Wonder if we should hold just one more Midway Mania rematch?


The response to Taco Ranch was so overwhelming that it took the fast-casual taco concept from P. Terry's a little time to lock down their hours, refine their recipes and throw a grand opening party. But now everything is in place. Taco Ranch will celebrate its Grand Opening Sunday from 2 to 6 p.m. with free beer and t-shirts (while supplies last), coupon giveaways and other freebies.
Beer? Yep, Taco Ranch is now selling Modela Especial ($3 for 16 ounces) and frozen margaritas ($4 for 12 ounces). They have also solidified their hours. The drive-thru spot near US 290 and MoPac is open 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. Sunday, 6 a.m. to 10 p.m Monday-Thursday, 6 a.m. to 11 p.m. Friday and 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. Saturday.


I could do with some help with the above please. I have set up the FCB10 to play samples on the MS but am struggling to get to play a sequence.
The first one should initiate the Korg and the second choose the sequencer and its value.
However nothing happens when I try to trigger the MS Any ideas please?

\section{Introduction}
Laser-induced ultrafast magnetization switching have been experimentally demonstrated in a number of
rare earth and transition metal compounds or multilayers \cite{radu,stanciu,alebrand,mangin}. The essential role of the laser
is to heat the magnetic sample to a high temperature close to the Curie temperature in less than picosecond time scale and the subsequent cooling reorients the magnetization in the direction opposite to the initial one. When the laser field is unpolarized or linearly polarized, laser heating would reduce the magnitude of the magnetization known as demagnetization process \cite{beau}, but there is no external torque to rotate the magnetization away from its initial direction. The observed magnetization switching \cite{ostler} by laser heating with unpolarization laser beams must involve spatial/time reversal symmetry breaking processes such as highly non-uniform magnetization distributions. Model calculations have also indicated that the initial non-collinear canting angles between Fe and Gd moments in the ferrimagnetic compound FeGd are necessary to break the spatial inversion symmetry so that the internal exchange interaction upon the heating and cooling would favor one direction of the magnetization than the other \cite{chantrell,shufeng}. Thus, the heat induced switching is unlikely an intrinsic effect, namely, it depends on details of the inhomogeneous distribution of the magnetic configurations and it is doubtful that the controlled switching at nano-scales with nearly-single domain particles can be achieved.

Recently, all-optical helicity-dependent magnetization switching has been observed \cite{vahaplar, mangin,fullerton1} in which the switching occurs only for the laser pulse with a definitive helicity: a right-circularly polarized light (PL) is able to switch the magnetization from up to down while the left-circularly PL can switch it back, and the linearly-polarized or unpolarized lights do not do either switching. The circularly PL itself carries a definite angular momentum direction, and thus it provides the symmetry breaking
needed for favoring one diection of magnetization over the other. The inverse Faraday effect (IFE), which is synonym with the laser induced non-equilibrium electron orbital moment, has been proposed as a leading mechanism \cite{review1,fesenko}.  If the laser induced orbital moment is sufficiently large and the spin-orbit coupling is sufficiently strong, the magnetization can be switched to the direction of the induced orbital moment that is determined by the polarization of the light. Indeed, theoretical models have already been developed for explaining the laser-induced magnetization
switching by the IFE \cite{lagoutte,hertel,pershan}. A formulation  in which the induced momentum is expressed in terms of exact band states have also been constructed \cite{oppeneer}. However, these calculations do not quantitatively
address whether the IFE alone is able to account for the experimental results. For example, it has been found experimentally that
a multiple laser pulses, of the order of a thousand, is required to achieve the magnetization reversal \cite{fullerton1}. Such accumulated reversal processes from multiple laser pulses have not been explained.

In this paper, we calculate the laser induced orbital momentum by considering several different models. The essential goal is to estimate the magnitude of the orbital momentum for a given value of the laser intensity used in the switching experiments.
In Sec. II, we provide an order of magnitude estimates on the magnitude of the induced orbital moment based a free electron model. In Sec. III, we present our model calculation of the IFE for arbitrary itinerant bands, followed by a quantitative estimate of the induced orbital moments with experimental parameters in Sec. IV. We discuss possible mechanisms for observed magnetization switching in Sec. V and we conclude in Sec. VI.

\section{Simplified estimation of the induced orbital moment }

The idea of the magnetization switching by the IFE is that the induced non-equilibrium orbital moment generates an effective field on the spin via spin-orbit coupling
$H= \xi {\bf s}\cdot{\delta \bf L}$ where $\xi$ is the spin-orbit coupling strength, $\delta {\bf L}$ is the induced orbital moment. To switch the spin within the laser pulse duration $ t_p$, which is typically less than a pico-second,
the effective field $H_{eff}= \xi \delta {\bf L} $ must be at least of the order of $1/(\gamma t_p) > 100$ (T) where $\gamma $ is the gyromagnetic ratio. With this simple reasoning, the IFE would require an induced orbital momentum at least on the order of $\delta L =0.1 \hbar$ per magnetic ion if we take the spin-orbit coupling strength of the order of 0.1  eV. To see whether the experimental parameters could generate such magnitude of the orbital momentum, we shall make two rough estimates below.

First, we estimate the total angular momentum of
the circularly polarized light received by the magnetic film during laser radiation,
\begin{equation}
\delta {\bf L}_p = \pm \frac{c\epsilon_0 E_0^2 a^3t_p}{2d\omega} {\bf \hat{z}}
\end{equation}
where $\pm$ represents right and left circular polarizations of the laser, ${\bf \hat{z}}$ is the incident direction of the light, $c$, $\epsilon_0$, $E_0$, $t_P$, $d$, $\omega$ and $a$ are the speed of light, permeability, magnitude of electric filed, pulse duration, thickness of the sample, angular frequency and lattice constant respectively. By using the experimental values from Ref. \cite{mangin},
we find the average angular momentum of the laser absorbed by one atom is about $10^{-4} \hbar$ per each laser pulse, assuming that the angular momentum of the light is completely transferred to the electron orbitals and there is no relaxation during the process. Thus, the maximum angular momentum transferred from the light to the orbital moment is at least 2-3 orders of magnitude too small to account for the experimentally observed switching by a single laser pulse.

The second simple estimation is to consider the interaction of the light with a free electron. The classical equation of motion of the electron with the circularly polarized light is
\begin{equation}
m \frac{d^2 \bf r}{dt^2} = e  E_0 (\hat{\bf x} \cos \omega t  \pm \hat{\bf y}  \sin\omega t)
\end{equation}
where $E_0$ is the magnitude of the electric field, and we consider the normal incident  ($\hat{\bf z}$) of light
on the film. The above equation yields an orbital angular momentum of the electron,
\begin{equation}
\delta {\bf L}_c \equiv m {\bf r}\times (d{\bf r}/dt) = \pm  (eE_0)^2 /(m \omega^3)\hat{\mathbf{z}}.
\end{equation}
By using the experimental values of
$E_0$ and $\omega$ derived from Ref.~\cite{mangin}, we find that ${\delta \bf L}_c$ is about $10^{-4}-10^{-3} \hbar$ which is again 2-3 orders of magnitude too small to switch the magnetization. One might improve the estimation by replacing the free electron model with a bound electron
which is subject to its internal resonant frequencies and damping parameters \cite{zon}. With reasonable material parameters, the order of magnitude remains about the same.

Motivated by the failure of the above simple estimation to explain the experimental results, we consider below the IFE for general bands by using the quantum description of the electron orbitals.

\section{Induced orbital moment}

We use the time-dependent perturbation theory to calculate the induced orbital momentum of an arbitrary band state whose
wavefunction is denoted by
$\psi_{n \bf k}^{(0)} ({\bf r})$ where $n$ is the band index. The standard interaction
between the circularly-polarized light and the electron is
\begin{equation}
V(t)= -eE_0  \left(x \cos (\omega t-\frac{\omega z}{c})  \pm y \sin(\omega t-\frac{\omega z}{c})\right) \left[
\theta (t) - \theta (t-t_p) \right]
\end{equation}
where $\theta (t)$ is the step function, $t_p$ is the laser pulse duration and $x$, $y$, $z$ are three components of position operator (${\bf r}$). The first order correction to the wavefunction by the above perturbation is
\begin{equation}
\psi_{n \bf k}(t)=e^{-i \omega_{n \bf k} t} \psi_{n \bf k}^{(0)}+ \sum_{m{\bf k}'\neq n {\bf k} } c_{n{\bf k}, m{\bf k}'}(t)e^{-i \omega_{m{\bf k}'}t} \psi_{m {\bf k}'}^{(0)}
\end{equation}
where
\begin{equation}
c_{n{\bf k}, m{\bf k}'}(t) = -\frac{i}{\hbar}\int_0^{t}\mathrm{d}t' \int d^3{\bf r} \psi_{n \bf k}^{*(0)}V(t')\psi_{m {\bf k}'}^{(0)}e^{i \omega_{n{\bf k}, m {\bf k}'}t'}
\end{equation}
and $\omega_{n{\bf k}, m {\bf k}'}= \omega_{n{\bf k}}- \omega_{m {\bf k}'}$.

The time-dependent average z-component orbital momentum $L_z\equiv xp_y -yp_x$ can be
calculated by using the equation of motion,
\begin{equation}
\frac{d}{d t}\left\langle  L_z \right\rangle_{n\bf k}=\left\langle \psi_{n\bf k} (t)\left|\left[L_z,V(t)\right] \right|\psi_{n \bf k} (t)\right\rangle
\end{equation}
To proceed futher, we explicitly use the Bloch states where $\psi_{n{\bf k}}^{(0)}({\bf r}) = u_{n\bf k} ({\bf r})
\exp(i{\bf k}\cdot {\bf r})$ for calculating the matrix elements. The spatial integration in Eq.~(6) can by carried out by separating the integration over a unit cell and  summation over all periodic unit cells, i.e., replacing $\int d^3 {\bf r} $ by $ \sum_{{\bf R}_i} \int_{cell} d^3 {\bf r}$, where ${\bf R}_i$ is the lattice site. The summation over ${\bf R}_i$ yields the crystal momentum conservation, ${\bf k}' = {\bf k} \pm (\omega /c) {\bf \hat{z}} + {\bf G}$, where
${\bf G}$ is the reciprocal lattice vector. For the integration within a unit cell, we take the slowly varying function $\exp[i(\omega/c)z] \approx 1$. After explicitly carrying out spatial and time integration, we find,
\begin{equation}\label{eq:delL}
\delta L_z = \pm \frac{4e^2 E_0^2}{\hbar}\sum_{n,m,{\bf k},} \left|<u_{n\bf k}|\frac{\partial u_{m\bf k'}}{\partial k'_x} >
\right|^2 \frac{\sin^2\left[(\omega+\omega_{n{\bf k}}-\omega_{m{\bf k}'})t_p/2\right](f_{n{\bf k}}-f_{m{\bf k}'})}{(\omega+\omega_{n{\bf k}}-\omega_{m {\bf k}'})^2 + 1/\tau^2} .
\end{equation}
where $f_{m{\bf k}'}$ ($f_{n\bf k})$ are the Fermi distribution functions, ${\bf k}' = {\bf k}+(\omega/c){\bf \hat{z}}$, and $\tau $ is a phenomenological parameter representing the energy relaxation time (further discussion follows).

Comparing the above equation to that of the standard transition probability between two atomic energy levels by the light, one
finds several differences. First, the Fermi  distribution function limits the transition between occupied and unoccupied states
of the bands. Second, the momentum conservation ${\bf k}'={\bf k} + (\omega/c) {\bf \hat{z}}$ implies that the difference between ${\bf k}'$ and ${\bf k}$ is small, thus the energy
difference would be small as well if the transition occurs between the same band ($n=m$); i.e., $\omega_{n\bf k} - \omega_{n {\bf k}'}
\ll \hbar \omega$. Therefore, the major contribution of the orbital momentum comes from the interband
transition ($n\neq m$) with nearly same ${\bf k} \approx {\bf k}'$ and $\omega_{n \bf k} - \omega_{m \bf k} \approx \pm \omega$.
Third, the lifetime $\tau$ of the excited states of the itinerant electrons is finite. Two essential contributions are impurity scattering
and  some other intrinsic scattering such as phonons and electron-electron interactions. A rough estimate of the relaxation
time would be shorter than $\hbar/k_BT$ (where $T$ is the temperature). If one takes the temperature at $T=500$ K, $\tau$ would be no longer than $10^{-14}$ s. We will assume the relaxation time $\tau$ as a parameter which is included in Eq.~(8). We point out,
the resonant condition $\omega_{n {\bf k}} - \omega_{{m \bf k}'} = \omega$ in Eq.~(8) would yield a singularly large contribution
with an infinite relaxation time. The role of the finite relaxation is to broaden the spectrum of the states contributing to the
induced orbital momentum.

\section{Estimation of induced orbital moment }

As an example of the application of Eq.~(8), we consider the transition of the simplified band structure depicted in Fig.~(1) where
two hypothetical bands are separated by a band gap $\hbar \omega_0$ with each band characterized by bandwidth $W_i$ ($i=1,2$). Both bands are parabolic. The matrix element in Eq.~(8)  depends on the details of the Bloch wavefunction. If we construct the Bloch state by a local atomic Wannier function $\phi_n({\bf r})$
\begin{equation}
u_{nk}(\mathbf{r})=\frac{1}{\sqrt{N}} \sum_{\mathbf{R}}e^{-i{\bf k} \cdot ({\bf r} - \mathbf{R})} \phi_n(\mathbf{r}-\mathbf{R})
\end{equation}
where N is the number of sites in the system, we find
\begin{equation}
< u_{n\bf k}|\frac{\partial u_{m\bf k'}}{\partial k'_x}>= \beta_{mn}+\sum_{\mathbf{\Delta}}\gamma_{mn}(\mathbf{\Delta})\cos(\mathbf{k}\cdot\mathbf{\Delta})
\end{equation}
where $\beta_{mn}=-\int\mathrm{d}\mathbf{r}~ \phi_m^*(\mathbf{r})x\phi_n(\mathbf{r})$ is the on-site dipolar matrix element,
and $\gamma_{mn}(\mathbf{\Delta})=-\int\mathrm{d}\mathbf{r}~ \phi_m^*(\mathbf{r}-\mathbf{\Delta})x\phi_n(\mathbf{r})$ is the  overlap integration of the wavefunctions between nearest neighbor atomic site ${\bf \Delta}$. In general, $|\beta_{mn}| \gg | \gamma_{mn}| $ if the Wannier orbital
of $\phi_n$ and $\phi_m$ do not have same spatial symmetry which would make $\beta_{mn}$ identically zero (known as the selection rule), and thus the matrix element would be weakly dependent on ${\bf k}$ and we simply take it as a constant. With the above simplifications, Eq.~(8) now reduces to,
\begin{equation}
\delta L_z = \pm C \left(\frac{a^2\omega^2}{4\pi^3}\right)\int_0^{\epsilon_F} \mathrm{d}  \epsilon g({\epsilon})
\frac{\sin^2 \left[ (\omega-\omega_0 - \alpha \epsilon ) t_p/2 \right] }{ \left( \omega-\omega_0- \alpha \epsilon \right)^2 + 1/\tau^2}\equiv\pm C I
\end{equation}
where $C=2e^2 E_0^2a^2/({\hbar \omega^2})$, $g(\epsilon) $ is the density of states, $\alpha = (1+W_2/W_1)/\hbar $, and the
last equality defines the dimentionless qunatity $I$ to be numerically calculated.

To access the dependence of $\delta L_z$ on the parameters entering in Eq.~(11), we numerically compute $I$ for various plausible parameters relevant to the experimental materials. In Fig.~(2), we show the influence of the  (or the energy gap $\hbar\omega_0$) between occupied
and unoccupied band. Clearly, the maximum values occurs when $\omega - \omega_0$ is near the vicinity of $\epsilon_F$. More importantly, both the peak value and the peak width depend on the relaxation time. As we discussed earlier, the relaxation time limits the overall non-equilibrium orbital momentum: the laser induced excitations from the occupied states to the unoccupied states has been balanced by the relaxation processes.
Another important parameter is the laser pulse duration $t_p$. In Fig.~(3), we show the peak
values derived from Fig.~2 as a function of the pulse width.  At a small $t_p$, the orbital momentum linearly increases with the pulse duration, and it saturates at a certain value, typically of the order of a few tens of fs.

\section{Discussions}

We have calculated the laser induced orbital momentum for generic band structure. In experimental systems, band structures are far more complicated. We argue here that our simplified treatments of the band structure capture the essential features of the laser driven processes: since the most important
factor for the magnitude of the orbital momentum is the relaxation time as we have seen in Fig.~(2) and (3), the relaxation process is effectively
washed out the detailed dispersion relation of the band. Since we have assumed a minimum relaxation rate in our estimation, the results
obtained here is an overestimate of the laser induced momentum.

It is interesting to compare the magnitude of the induced orbital momentum calculated here with two earlier estimations based on the
classical free electron model, Eq.~(3), and the total angular momentum transfer model, Eq.~(1). The relative ratios are
\[
\frac{\delta L_z}{\delta L^c} =2 \frac{ma^2\omega}{\hbar}I
\]
and
\[
\frac{\delta L_z}{\delta L_p} =4\left(\frac{d}{a}\right)\left(\frac{e^2}{c\epsilon_0 a t_p \hbar \omega}\right)I
\]
By using the experimental values \cite{vahaplar, mangin}, all three estimates yield an angular momentum that are roughly same orders of magnitude, i.e., about $\delta L_z \approx 10^{-4}-10^{-3} \hbar$ per atom. We note that a recently published article  \cite{chen} claimed that theoretical estimation yields a reasonable magnitude to explain the above experiment; this error was due to mis-identification of the experimental value \cite{chen1}. Thus, the orbital momentum induced by single laser pulse is not sufficiently large to switch the magnetization of homogeneous magnetic materials.

Experimentally, the observed magnetization switching occurs when a large numbers of laser pulses, of the order of several thousand, are used \cite{fullerton1}. One may explain such accumulated switching processes as follows. The intense heating by laser pulses inevitably generates nucleation of domains. Each circularly polarized laser pulse creates an orbital momentum which provides
an effective field of the order of $1-10$T. While this transient field is unable to switch the domain, it can move the domain wall. If
we use a typical domain wall velocity of the order of 1-10 $\mu$m/ns, the domain wall could be displaced about $1-10$nm for a single laser pulse of $100$fs. Thus, several thousands of the laser pulses are capable to expand the nuclearation domain to $\mu m$ and
magnetization reversal is completed.

Finally, we wish to comment on the other possible mechanisms of the experimentally observed switching. Since the spatial coverage of the laser field is usually of the
order of several micrometers, the magnetization distribution would be highly non-uniform. Upon laser radiation, both heat and magnetization have spatial dependence. In a macroscopic sized film, the non-uniform distribution in turn leads to a strong and complicated dipolar interactions that govern the
magnetization dynamics and switching \cite{kronast}. In the earlier experiments, one can even observe the magnetization switching with an unpolarized laser beam and without any magnetic field \cite{ostler}; a result indicates the role of the non-uniform distribution in the symmetry-breaking processes.

\section{Conclusion and Acknowledgment}

Using the time-dependent quantum perturbation theory for generic itinerant bands, we explicitly calculate the orbital momentum of itinerant electrons induced by circularly polarized light. The magnitude of the induced orbital momentum is not sufficiently large to switch the magnetization in a single laser application. It is possible to achieve magnetization switching through domain wall nucleation and propagation by repeated applications of the laser pulses. Our result is consistent with the experimental observation. This work was supported by NSF (ECCS-1404542).

Thrombin-induced inositol phosphate production by platelets from rats with diet-induced or genetically determined hypercholesterolemia.
Platelets from rats with diet-induced or genetically determined hypercholesterolemia are hypersensitive to thrombin through a pathway that is independent of the effects of released ADP or formation of thromboxane A2. We examined production of inositol phosphates by platelets from these hypercholesterolemic rats to determine whether the enhanced responsiveness to thrombin is associated with increased production of inositol trisphosphate (IP3). The opportunity to study rats with hypercholesterolemia determined genetically or induced by diet makes it possible to determine whether any differences in inositol phosphate production are caused by hypercholesterolemia alone rather than to any other effect of the diet used to induce hypercholesterolemia. Platelets were prelabeled with [3H]inositol so that increases in inositol phosphates (IP, IP2, and IP3) upon stimulation with thrombin could be assessed by measuring the amount of label in these compounds. Platelets were preincubated with CP/CPK, to inhibit effects of released ADP, and aspirin, to inhibit formation of thromboxane A2/endoperoxides. In platelets from rats with either form of hypercholesterolemia, the percentage increase in labeling of IP3 was significantly greater 30 seconds after stimulation with low concentrations of thrombin than in platelets from control rats. Increased IP3 formation in platelets from hypercholesterolemic rats indicates that there is increased activity of a pathway(s) leading to IP3 formation and that this may be a mechanism responsible for the thrombin-induced hypersensitivity of these platelets.


You don't learn to drive by taking one lesson a year. You book lots of lessons and drive regularly. Likewise, you cannot put your body back into the path of health and healing with just an occasional treatment. All deep and lasting healing happens naturally - which means gradually, over time, through repetition. This means you benefit so much more from booking a series of treatments.
This is why I offer treatment packages - because it is what works. It is also the very best value for money you can get. These packages provide the highest standard of treatment at the lowest possible prices possible.
This package is ideal for new clients. The purpose is to kick-start the healing process to release a long-term issue.
The stresses and strains of daily life and work can have a profound impact on our mind and body in ways that we are not fully conscious. It can manifest on different levels ie; physically, emotionally, energy, mentally, and even spiritually. This option is for you if you are wanting to reduce stress, tension, be able to relax more easily, and make those changes to take back control of your life.
Fortnightly - 2 per month.
If you think you could benefit from being more in touch with your body, detoxing not just physically but emotionally, energetically, mentally, and spiritually,uncovering hidden allergies, losing weight(effortlessly) whilst having those around you commenting on how much you're glowing,this is for!
The Detox Programme is a series of four treatments over one month. You have one session each week. This give your body the chance to go into Detox mode and then to maintain that steadily over a whole month. This allows your body to release toxins residing deep in the tissues. This happens gently and slowly in order to minimise the disruption that such deep and powerful Detox can cause to the rest of your life.
For greater impact you continue the massage with daily skin-brushing and daily colon "work out".
The gentler the treatment, the longer lasting are the benefits.
THE DETOX BOXcontains a massive crystal ball you use to give your colon and belly a serious daily 'work out', a skin brush with which to 'awaken' you body's largest organ of elimination- the skin, and a booklet guiding you through the four week programme including a section on how to trigger your body's natural detoxification reflex.

Evaluations of 'Surprise Lady 1984': What Critics Say
Last updated Dec 21, 2020
Gal Gadot plays Wonder Woman in "Wonder Woman 1984".
"Wonder Woman 1984 is not great and it is not terrible," writes Stephanie Zacharek of Time Magazine.
This seems to be the general consensus of the critics, as the follow-up film will be released in international theaters this weekend.
The much-anticipated follow-up to "Wonder Woman" from 2017 was due to be released in June, but the ongoing global pandemic has postponed the film until Christmas Day in the US. The outbreak also resulted in Warner Bros. parent company AT&T will be showing the film in theaters and on streaming service HBO Max that same day.
"Wonder Woman 1984" takes place seven decades after the events of the first film. Diana Prince, the Wonder Woman of the same name, played by Gal Gadot, lives in Washington, DC and works at the Smithsonian. In her spare time, Diana dons her Amazonian armor and plays the role of a superhero to save the people of the city.
Diana's life is interrupted when the would-be oil magnate Maxwell Lord (Pedro Pascal) receives a magical stone called the Dream Stone. The artifact grants wishes, but there is a cost.
For Diana, the stone brings back Steve Trevor (Chris Pine), her love interest from the first movie, who died and sacrificed his life to save others. Unfortunately, in order to keep Steve in her life, Diana will eventually lose her powers.
Diana's friend and colleague Barbara Minerva (Kristen Wiig), a wallflower who envies Diana for her self-confidence and beauty, receives these characteristics and, as seen in the trailer, transforms into the vicious cheetah. Lord absorbs the magic of the stone and gives himself the ability to grant other people's wishes, something he uses to gain power and prestige.
When Barbara and Lord team up, Diana must fight the two villains to save the world.
"Woman Woman 1984" currently holds an 88% "Fresh" rating from Rotten Tomatoes out of 92 reviews. If more reviews are received, this review may change.
Critics praised Gadot for this role. Once again, Gadot portrays Diana with effortless grace and cool confidence as he adds depth to an immortal woman who drifted and drifted in a mortal world.
However, reviewers called the plot "chaotic" and "confused" and were disappointed with the CGI creature form "Cheetah" that appears in the film's third act.
Here's a rundown of what critics said about Wonder Woman 1984 before her Christmas debut:
Peter Debruge, diversity
"Almost two hours of its 151-minute running time, 'Wonder Woman 1984′ does what we expect from Hollywood tent poles: it takes our worries away and erases them with sheer escape," said Peter Debruge, author of Variety in his review of the Films. "For those old enough to remember the 80s, it's like going home for Christmas and discovering a box of children's toys in your parents' attic."
Where the film falls short are its special effects, he said.
"A lot of the effects are hokey," wrote Debruge. "Some are downright embarrassing (like Wonder Woman interrupting a well-choreographed desert chase to dangerously save two children)."
Debruge was one of many critics to mention the disappointing computer-generated rendering of Cheetah in its final form. The creature design is a "lame cat-level misjudgment," he said.
Read the full review from Variety.
Angelica Jade Bastien, vulture
For Angelica Jade Bastien, a vulture writer, Diana Prince's attraction is her femininity and maternal instinct. Her strength shows not only in fight scenes, but also in subtle emotional moments.
Bastien believed that Diana's character was "poorly developed in this utter jumble of conspiracy".
She said the dream stone was "trite" and found faults in Diana's longing for the late lover Steve decades after his death.
"Sure, Gadot and Pine have charming chemistry again, but his character's return from the dead – in which he basically takes over the body of a poor man – raises more questions about the loopholes in logic," she wrote in hers Review. "And then there's their total lack of sex, a particularly damned reminder of how this genre ignores one of the most beautiful aspects of being human."
Bastien wondered why this longing for Steve had become central to Diana's identity almost 70 years later.
"Why? She no longer misses her Amazon sisters, whom she can never see again?" She asked. "It's been about 70 years and she still hasn't moved away from Steve? It's deeply sad and predictable when a superhero becomes so attached to a single man that she's ready to lose her powers for him."
Bastien called the romance "claustrophobic" with an ending "ripped out of a Hallmark movie".
Read the full review from Vulture.
Stephanie Zacharek, time
For Zacharek, Gadot shines when she is Diana Prince, a woman with human weaknesses and complexities.
"But being just one woman is not enough for anyone," she wrote. "Diana-as-Wonder Woman not only saves the world, but is also often tasked with saving little girls from danger. She brings them to safety with a wink, and they beam her appreciatively, so grateful that she finally has one Superheroes have their own. "
"Why do we always need to be reminded of the purpose of Wonder Woman? Why can't it just be?" Asked Zacharek.
She noted that when Wonder Woman arrived in 2017, there was a promise that Hollywood would see a new generation of superhero films made by women, starring women who may be less formulaic than such that revolve around men.
"Wonder Woman 1984 is perfect as a treat to distract the world from its problems for a few hours," she wrote. "But it's also okay to wish for less noise and more amazement, especially in a world filled with the former and in dire need of the latter."

Esther Zuckerman, thrillist
"Wonder Woman 1984" is "a fun but chaotic sequel to the 2017 reintroduction of the Amazon superhero," wrote Esther Zuckerman in her review of the film for Thrillist. "There's a lot to love in" WW84 ": bold performances by a delightful cast, fantastic costumes, [Patty] Jenkins' rapid direction. But it serves a plot that loses sight of what makes the character so great in the first place. "
Zuckerman noted that filmmakers had a hard time replicating the success of the first film. After all, so much of it focused on Diana's naivete and her wonder of discovering a whole new world.
Decades later, Diana is exhausted and isolated, her mind numbed, wrote Zuckerman.
"What makes up for that in Act One is Barbara Minerva," she said. "Wiig is hilarious yet grounded, both as the ignored nerd she starts out as and the butterfly suddenly able to walk in heels and take off a mini dress."

Transatlantic travel is hit by capacity cuts; some European carriers like Malev and CSA closed their North-American routes completely, others like Delta offer fewer flights. One would assume, that as airlines compete for a reduced number of travelers fares will drop. This might be valid for US domestic travel, however not for transatlantic journeys. Europe remains a popular destination with limited seats, a long and costly route for the airlines, allowing them to charge more. As the summer season approaches fares will certainly go up. If you're planning to visit Europe in 2010, booking when you find an airfare that's right for your budget is essential for saving money. Shopping in advance is usually the right way to go. Compare your fare options and when you find a price you like, take it.
You will likely find more deals however when looking for a hotel room. Hotels are stuck with a number of unsold rooms and they can't adjust their capacity. When looking for a hotel, keep in mind, that high-end properties have generally seen larger price drops than others. Check out the vacation packages too, as hotels tend to offer great deals on their unsold hotel inventory bundled in packages.

Joseph Henry White, dit Jo Jo White, né le  à Saint-Louis dans le Missouri et mort le  à Boston d'une pneumonie, est un basketteur américain évoluant au poste d'arrière.

Il joue l'essentiel de sa carrière aux Celtics de Boston, club dans lequel il arrive après leur titre en 1969. Son fils Brian J. White a été joueur professionnel de football américain et de crosse avant de se lancer dans une carrière d'acteur. En 2015, il devient membre du Basketball Hall of Fame.

Biographie

Carrière universitaire
Jo Jo White joue dans l'équipe universitaire de basket-ball de l'Université du Kansas, disputant le tournoi NCAA et perdant contre Texas Western en finale régionale après une double prolongations. Il est élu à deux reprises All-America.

Jeux olympiques 1968
Jo Jo White participe aux Jeux olympiques d'été de 1968 où il remporte une médaille d'or avec l'équipe des États-Unis qui termine le tournoi invaincu avec neuf victoires en neuf rencontres. En finale, les joueurs américains dominent la Yougoslavie sur le score de 65 à 50. Après avoir marqué 24 points contre les joueurs yougoslaves en phase de poule, Jo Jo White inscrit 14 unités lors de la finale.

Carrière en NBA

Celtics de Boston
Après les Jeux olympiques, Jo Jo White est recruté par les Celtics de Boston à la neuvième place du premier tour de la Draft 1969 de la NBA. Red Auerbach sélectionne l'arrière shooteur du Kansas alors que les franchises pensent qu'il doit encore effectuer deux années dans l'armée. Mais Auerbach utilise ses relations pour que White ne rate que la préparation et les deux premiers matchs de la saison. La franchise vient de remporter son  en 13 ans mais perd Bill Russell et Sam Jones qui annoncent leur retraite respective.

Lors de la saison 1969-1970, les Celtics terminent pour la première fois avec un bilan négatif depuis la saison 1950-1951. le , Jo Jo White réussit 12 de ses 22 tirs lors d'une victoire 112 à 100 contre Philadelphie. Il a plus de temps en fin d'année, et White fait ses preuves pour mener l'attaque lors de la saison suivante au poste de meneur et l'équipe retrouve un bilan positif. Jo Jo White termine la saison 1970-1971 avec plus de 21 points de moyenne, développant avec Don Chaney une relation d'arrières. Il est sélectionné pour disputer le All-Star Game, le premier des sept éditions que White dispute de suite entre 1971 et 1977. Il joue tous les 82 matchs des Celtics pendant cinq saisons consécutives au milieu des années 1970.

Tireur efficace, il participe à la conquête des titres de 1974 et 1976. Lors du sixième match des finales de 1974, il a l'occasion d'offrir le titre aux Celtics mais son tir au  est légèrement trop court obligeant Boston à jouer un match décisif. Jo Jo White est nommé meilleur joueurs des finales 1976. Lors du cinquième match de cette finale 1976 contre les Suns de Phoenix, White termine meilleur marqueur du match avec 33 points, réussit 9 passes décisives et mène les Celtics à une victoire 128 à 126 après triple prolongations.

Le , son numéro 10 est retiré et une bannière est mise en son hommage dans la salle des Celtics de Boston avec le numéro 10 qu'il porte lors de sa carrière.

Fin de carrière en NBA à Golden State puis Kansas City
Les mauvais résultats de la franchise de Boston après son titre en 1976 oblige le club à reconstruire une nouvelle équipe, cela change le rôle de l'expérimenté Jo Jo White dans l'effectif des Celtics. Les dirigeants effectuent de nombreux mouvements de joueurs et notamment un échange concernant Jo Jo White contre un choix de . White part donc vers les Warriors de Golden State au cours de la saison 1978-1979 et n'a pas l'opportunité de finir sa carrière à Boston comme un grand nombre des meilleurs joueurs de la franchise. White passe ensuite par les Kings de Kansas City (futurs Kings de Sacramento).

I sighed, but it was a sigh of relief and after chatting for a few more minutes, I took the kids and we headed home.
Faye had awakened Friday morning with what looked like octopus kisses all over her arms, legs and face. Her trunk was completely clean, but there was hardly a spot of skin that didn't have the round suction cup looking things on it. She hadn't slept well the night before either, so thinking it was some kind of an allergy, I took her in to see the doctor.
That is where I heard those words. Faye's doctor had no idea what was eating up my baby. She called another doctor into the room. The other doctor had no idea as well. I guess that is pretty common when it comes to baby rashes. So many things can set them off and it is hard to pinpoint what exactly it was.
I just wanted the piece of mind that there was nothing to worry about.
I was so glad nothing was wrong with my little Faye. Unfortunately I came down with a wicked cold. Since when has a cold had power to wipe me out? Never before in my life have colds bothered me much. And then this year I get two, a month apart, and they both just knock me out. Unbelievable.
At any rate, this week is looking good. My cold is subsiding a bit, Faye is no longer making out with an octopus in her sleep, and Keith is ready to rumble. Oh, and according to the weather man, it is supposed to be above 65 all week long! Talk about a great week!
How strange! I am glad it was nothing to worry about.
You've had a rough winter! Time to open wide the windows and let the sunshine in!!
PS. It sounds like that may even be possible before long...!
"Octopus kisses"....you are awesome! A true libra through and through! My visiting teacher is one as well and for some reason I couldn't figure it out at first...probably because I was so mesmerized! Hope you all get better!
I'm convinced there's strange stuff in the air this year, all over the country! I had a virus that gave me a cough for 3-4 months! The docs kept saying it was allergies, but I think it was a really really bad cold. Anyway, glad things are looking up for you, and that your little Faye is ok.
4 or 5 times since brennan was 1 he has gotten a rash from shoulder to belly button after a cold. i was totally freaked out the first time, but the doc said a lot of times after a viral cold a rash will come. i gave him benedryl (he was older than faye tho), and a few days later it was gone. poor thing was itchy all over. i've never liked when they say "i don't know" tho.

Q: Application Request Routing not cleaning up cache files I've configured ARR as a reverse proxy that does output caching. Cache entries have a TTL of 20 minutes, but it seems that cache files remain on disk forever.
TTL is configured in the app's Web.config file under the rewrite rules:
    <rule name="Default ARR cache control" enabled="true">
      <match url=".*" />
      <serverVariables>
        <!-- First arg of value is: 1 to be always active, 0 only if there are no cache headers set. -->
        <set name="ARR_CACHE_CONTROL_OVERRIDE" value="0,max-age=1200" />
      </serverVariables>
    </rule>

In the HTTP responses I can also correctly see this max-age and the cache indeed expires, I get new results served. If I open a cache file it will also include Cache-Control: public, max-age=1200 in its header.
However cache files remain, even if unused. The "Cache clean-up interval" is set to 5 minutes for disk caching, so I'd presume files should only remain there for a maximum of 25 minutes, but there are months-old ones too.
What am I missing, how can I make ARR remove outdated cache files?
Here it's explained how scavenge.exe can be used to clean-up cache files on a secondary drive, but nothing about the primary one. Or should I manually run this utility if I don't one the cache drive to slowly fill up?

A: It seems I've misunderstood how these configs should work and "Cache clean-up interval" works together with "Disk usage high threshold".
So maybe files are cleared every 5 minutes, but only if "Disk usage high threshold" is reached? It seems that indeed this is the case, as also elaborated in this blog post: I just configured "Disk usage low threshold" as 4 (percent), "Disk usage high threshold" as 5 and yes, a lot of files were shortly removed.

Q: Was D. C. Fontana developing a science fiction TV show called 'The Wings of Space'? My memory may be faulty, but I could have sworn that I read (sometime in the 1970s) that the late D. C. Fontana was developing a science fiction TV show called The Wings of Space. I have found a number of sites around the internet dealing with her work and none mention this show, which was supposed to have progressed to the pilot script or even the pilot episode stage. Does anyone else remember this, or am I hallucinating?

A: Could you mean The Ship Who Sang? This is a series of stories from 1961–1969 by Anne McCaffrey. According to IMDb, D.C. Fontana wrote the pilot for a TV show, which presumably was never produced.
Further details on IMDb are available only to subscribers, but there is a plot summary credited to D.C. Fontana.

Captain Neil Simpson '19 was a member of the pool record-breaking 400-Yard Freestyle Relay team.
Andover Boys Swimming & Diving set three pool records on Saturday at Hopkins, beating them by a score of 117-63. Jack Warden '19, Captain Neil Simpson '19, Lance Freiman '19, and Arnold Su '20, who hold the National High School Record in the 200-Yard Medley Relay, finished with a time of 1:33.06 to set a Hopkins pool record.
In addition to the relay, Max Hunger '20 broke the pool 500-Yard Freestyle with a time of 4:39:55 and Su, Simpson, Sam Donchi '20, and Hunger broke the 400-Yard Freestyle Relay pool record with a time of 3:12:20.
In the 100-Yard Breaststroke, Brendon Fang '22 came from behind to claim the first place finish with a time of 1:02.79.
"One exciting part was when one of our [Juniors], Brendon Fang, won the 100-[Yard] Breaststroke. All of our eyes were on Lance Freiman, who was making his debut in the event but after the second 25 [yards] of the 100, Brendon came out of nowhere and took the lead. It was a pretty fun experience for all of us," said Hank Yang '22.
Hopkins marked the last meet of the season for the team before it heads to Eastern Interscholastic Swimming & Diving Championships, the height of the season. Andover has been in constant preparation for this meet since the start of Winter Term, according to Ralph Lam '22 and Yubo Jin '21.
"Since the beginning of the season, every single meet, every single dual meet we do has been in preparation for Easterns. It's to prepare our bodies, to prepare for the challenge," said Lam.
"We've been doing well on just keeping our bodies in check. We've been taking care of our physical states, so getting ready and making sure that none of us get into an accident or gets sick," added Jin.
Andover will compete at the Eastern Interscholastic Swimming & Diving Championships Thursday through Sunday in Lancaster, Penn.


The wind was light and the air was cool and clear at dawn Wednesday when Herb Schmidt fired his hot-air balloon over the Lisle park field.
Within minutes, the orange and yellow balloon sailed northward at a top speed of 2 m.p.h.
"We're really rollin' today," Schmidt said as he shot a loud burst of hot air into the balloon's nylon envelope.
The sun was just rising over the Chicago skyline as three balloons--two in bright hues of blue, orange and yellow and one in the shape of a 147-foot-tall champagne bottle--did a practice run before the 19th annual Eyes to the Skies festival opens Friday.
Schmidt, the festival's official "balloonmeister," led the balloons as they floated over the East-West Tollway. Early-morning commuters honked their horns as the balloons cruised by and headed toward the Danada Forest Preserve.
"I'll lower it down to see a couple of deer. But sometimes the burner scares them," said Schmidt, a Batavia resident who has been flying for 20 years.
Morning walkers waved as the balloons passed overhead. One man sipping a cup of coffee on his patio called out, "Have a nice day."
It's all part of a balloon's charm, and more than 200,000 people are expected to watch the balloon launches at this year's Eyes to the Skies.
The festival will run through Monday in Community Park at Illinois Highway 53 and Short Street in Lisle. Daily admission is $5 for adults and free for children 12 and under.
Musical performances, fireworks, lawn-mower races, a craft fair and food booths, as well as a lumberjack show and a rubber duck race, will be featured. A carnival will open at 5 p.m. Thursday with unlimited rides for $12.
This year's musical acts include Little Richard, the Freddy Jones Band, Leon Russell, a tribute to Elvis Presley, the Jimmy Thackery Blues Band and Terrance Simien and the Mallet Playboys.
But the festival's signature items are the hot-air balloons--many of which serve as advertising tools in the shape of a pink bunny, champagne bottle, moving van or computer. More than 25 balloons are expected to sail at 6 a.m. and 6 p.m. each day.
"We used to try to fly as many as 50 balloons, but every year another light pole goes up and space is limited," said Wayne Dunham, event co-chairman. "There will be a thousand people out here at 5 a.m. It's fun when they launch and you hear a lot of oohs and aahs."
After a half-hour ride and a 3 1/2-mile trek over Lisle and into Wheaton, Schmidt's balloon skipped into the Elks Club field and touched down fairly smoothly, considering it does not have a landing gear.
Several neighbors, still dressed in their pajamas, came out to investigate the balloon that had landed in their back yards. Sandy Bisinger woke up her children when she saw the balloon come down and thought it was going to crash into the trees behind her home.
"I heard the burner and woke them up. I told them, `Get something on, come out, we have got to go see this thing,' " said Bisinger, whose 8-year-old daughter, Elizabeth, was mesmerized at the discovery in her back yard.
Elizabeth could not pass up a chance to climb into the balloon's basket, but she held her ears and crouched each time the burner was fired to keep the envelope aloft.
Even for the veterans, the enchantment of floating hundreds of feet above ground still lingered.
"It's a whole different perspective when you are up close to the balloons," said James Ezerski of Westmont, who has volunteered as a crew member for the balloon teams at Eyes to the Skies since 1983.
"Plus, you get a free ride. That's one of the advantages of crewing," said Ezerski, who wound through the neighborhood streets in the "chase" car, pausing every few minutes to see which direction Schmidt's balloon would head next.
Steering a hot-air balloon is a battle against the will of the wind. If nothing else, a balloon pilot must have patience, always scouting ahead for an open space to land.
"They literally put it down in people's back yards. There are people in Naperville who spread sheets out in their back yard so we know we can land and they won't shoot us," Dunham said.
But for many balloon pilots, that is part of the thrill.
"You don't know where you're going to go, where you are going to land or who you're going to meet. I've had people invite me in for steak and wine dinners," said Bennett Schwontkowski of Palatine, who pilots a bright blue balloon for America On-line at events across the country. "Ballooning has a Pied Piper effect. It's amazing how many people follow you."
Schwontkowski heard the piper calling when he was 14.
"A balloon flew over my home, and everyone went out and chased it. There were 500 people gathered around when it landed. I volunteered to help pack it away, and they said if I helped out with the crew, they would give me a free balloon ride," he said. "That was 1,600 flights ago and more than 25 years of flying. . . . Now, it's like a magic carpet ride."
When: The festival opens Friday and continues through Monday.
Where: Lisle Community Park, Illinois Highway 53 and Short Street.
Events: Hot-air balloon launches, food, fireworks, rides, a lumberjack show, lawn mower races, the E Team sky-diving Elvis impersonators and several musical acts.
Admission: Daily admission is $5 per person or $10 for a four-day pass; children 12 and under are admitted free.

I've seen a lot of improvement on my left cheek since I posted my most recent pics which is weird that it happened so sportaticly. But I have gotten really disappointed at times where I felt like nothing would work and I should give up but I stuck with it and I am really hoping this is my lucky charm. But it sounds like your son and I are having similar issues so I'll keep this updated for sure! Thanks!
This is the Tazorac I use along with a pill called acticlate at night.
The pimples are larger on my forehead and I will admit I have been picking at them but I try not to. Bad habit but I will stop it.
I use the handsoap to wash my hands before washing my face. Then I use about a pump and a half of cetaphil. I let it "soak in" my skin for 15-30 seconds before I wash it off.
I've been on this product for about a month. I switched over to Tazorac from Atralin. I am using the Tazorac at night and taking Atralin (an antibiotic). Tazorac has shown minimal clearance, but I am hoping it will start to work. I never went through the "purging" phase, though. I will keep this updated!!
Great spot treatment Very effective Works fast Can be greasy I have been using AHA as a moisturizer and occasionally as a spot treatment. The spot treatment works really well for me. If I feel a pimple coming, I put a little on the area and within one or two days, the arising pimple is gone!
I play sports on a regular basis and I sweat a lot. My mom told me to wash my face after games/practices. Is that a good idea should I do it or will it just make my acne worse? Thank you.

What is the best Rotherham goal at the New York Stadium?
Rotherham are coming up to six years in their new home and there have been some memorable moments along the way.
There have also been plenty of goals scored, both for and against, as every season has had something riding on it.
But which is the best goal the Millers have scored in the New York Stadium? Here's a look at some contenders and the chance for you to vote.
One of the most famous goals in Rotherham's recent history, Pringle went on his pig-killing expedition in glorious style in a League Cup tie with Sheffield Wednesday in August 2013. With the game only 10 minutes old Pringle gave the Millers the lead with a stunning finish as he lashed home a first-time 18-yard exocet from the angle of the penalty area which flew into Chris Kirkland's top corner before the former England goalkeeper could blink. Pig Killer.
The talismanic midfielder loved a spectacular goal for the Millers but he left his best until one of his last, scoring a worldie on his way to a hat-trick against Walsall earlier this season. With a sublime piece of skill and technique – a strike he ranks as his best at the club – Frecklington sent a vicious, dipping volley from 30 yards right down the middle of the goal like an arrow, leaving Saddlers keeper Mark Gillespie grasping at air. Bang.
Not on the same level of spectacular as some of the others, but this was a fine goal for a team at the peak of their powers on their way to promotion. And it was against a rival at the top of the division as well, capping off a sublime 45 minutes that put Brentford to the sword. Revell to Agard to Pringle to Adams to Agard to goal – a brilliant one-touch move. Liquid football.
The Tottenham loanee had teased what he was capable of during pre-season with a number of fine goals, but he picked a fine moment to show it for real in a televised clash with Burnley. The Millers, under caretaker charge of Eric Black, were trailing until Grant entered the fray in stunning style. Receiving the ball from Joe Mattock, he cut in from the left, made a yard of space for himself and then sent a 25-yard rocket flying into the top corner. What a hit.
A contender for Rotherham's best ever loanee, Tavernier highlighted what he was all about with a two-goal performance in a win over Bristol City, which was vital in booking the Millers' play-off place. And the Newcastle loanee needed only two minutes to bag his first and it was a scorcher. Picking the ball up 40 yards out, he advanced a short distance and then let fly with a thumping effort that flew into the corner. His second was not too shabby either, bending a 20-yard free-kick in. Thwack.
Vaulks introduced himself in fine style with a debut goal in 2016 but the Millers fans were forced to wait just over a year until the midfielder's next stunner and it was some effort. Straight from the training ground, Rotherham played a corner short and fed Vaulks outside the area, he composed himself and crashed in a vicious effort across goal into the top corner. Take a bow son.
Joining the club six weeks earlier as a record buy, Clarke-Harris chose some way to announce himself at to his new fans with an absolute rocket. It was one to tell the grandkids about as well as it proved to be a winner against Leeds in a televised Yorkshire derby. Picking the ball up near the centre circle the left-footer set off towards goal before unloading with a bullet-like effort that was low and swerving and ended up nearly ripping the New York net. Foot like a traction engine.

New points not for trial
Regina v Penner
June 3 2010, 1:01am, The Times
Court of Appeal, Criminal Division
Defence counsel must avoid ambushing the prosecution with a new issue.
The Court of Appeal, Criminal Division (Lord Justice Thomas, Mr Justice Henriques and Mr Justice Openshaw) so stated on May 5, 2010, when dismissing an appeal by Steven Henry Penner against his conviction on August 8, 2008, at Reading Crown Court (Ms Recorder Arbuthnot and a jury) of making, by downloading on to his computer, indecent images of children contrary to section 1 of the Protection of Children Act 1978.
LORD JUSTICE THOMAS said that, while the main line of defence had been that the defendant was not the person who downloaded the images, defence counsel had, during cross-examination of an expert witness, realised that…


I recently bought a beautiful lace romper that was marked down from $109.00 to $39.95. A pretty sweet deal! The reduced price was probably the result of the store needing to clear out all of their summer pieces in order to make way for new fall and winter clothes.
Personally I think this romper is too beautiful to not wear out during the holidays, which is why I'll be showing you how I easily take a summer romper or dress and make it holiday party appropriate.
A neutral colored or patterned romper/dress will transition into the holidays easier than say, a bright neon piece.
If you want the romper/dress to be the focal point, try and match your tights, shoes and bag to be all in the same color family.
Jewerly is key! Big, sparkly jewerly is the easiest way to make your outfit appear much more festive.
Red lips and nails are other easy ways to bring in some festive vibes to whatever you're wearing. Check out my tips on wearing a red lip here.
There you have it! You don't always have to spend a lot of money on a dress for the holidays when you can transition your summer clothes into winter.
What is your favorite thing to wear to holiday parties?
Great deal! You look gorgeous! You did an amazing job styling this outfit!

'Fargo' Season 4 Is Inspired by True Events but the Characters Are All Fictional
As audiences, we're very obsessive about the thought of one thing being primarily based on a real story or not. I personally discover it sort of annoying when persons are overly involved with the "authenticity" of dramatized occasions. If you happen to're that centered on all the main points matching actual life, then go and watch a documentary. No matter how legit you need your dramatizations to be, nonetheless, it appears like TV reveals and flicks primarily based on real-life occurrences are right here to remain — like Fargo's Season 4.
Is Season Four of 'Fargo' primarily based on a real story?
It's and it is not. The 2020 iteration of the favored sequence made headlines when it was introduced that longtime high comic Chris Rock can be headlining the present. If you happen to watched the film starring Frances McDormand, Invoice Macy, Steve Buscemi, and the at all times splendidly bizarre Peter Stormare, you then'll do not forget that the flick begins with the "It is a true story," phrase.
Every episode of the TV sequence repeats that very same refrain line, and Season Four of Fargo isn't any totally different. It takes place in Kansas Metropolis, Mo., in the course of the 1950s at a pivotal time within the space's historical past. It was an attention-grabbing time that noticed an enormous conflict of cultures: European immigrants had been in the hunt for greener pastures within the Midwest, together with African Individuals fleeing the South who wished higher lives for themselves and their households.
Supply: FX
In 1859, two years earlier than the beginning of the Civil Battle, the state of Kansas made historical past by founding the 1859 Kansas Structure, which welcomed settlers from everywhere in the nation no matter their racial backgrounds to determine properties, companies, and farms. Whereas many of us did make it out to Kansas to make the most of the state's supply, many in the end settled in Kansas Metropolis, Mo.
It helped that most of the boats that introduced them to the Midwest both landed in St. Louis or Kansas Metropolis, so that they determined to arrange store there and instantly search for work as their financial savings had been normally depleted by the point they'd arrived to the world.
So the place does this play into Fargo? Effectively, that is as a result of this little historical past lesson informs what Season Four of the present's all about: organized crime.
Lastly obtained caught up with the season Four premiere of Fargo, and I'm calling it now: Chris Rock's son will develop as much as be Mike Milligan from season 2. Tremendous intrigued to see the way it all performs out.

Whereas there have been tons of people that managed to earn a legit residing, there have been others who weren't so fortunate and determined that they'd be higher off residing that felony life-style — like a number of Italian Mafioso crime households that planted their roots within the space. Two such figures had been Anthony Gizzo and Nicholas Civella, who managed to seize the eye of the U.S. Senate.
Civella's been referenced in Fargo Season 2, and this newest batch of episodes may even be seen as a little bit of a "prequel" to the present's second batch of episodes. Allusions to the Kansas Metropolis Crime household and their downfall within the '70s had been an enormous a part of Season 2, and Season Four delves deeper into this backstory.
Effectively what the f*ck @noahhawley. Why did y'all forged a pretendian to play a Native character in season Four of Fargo? That is disturbing. There are precise Native actors and actresses on the market who want the work. How the hell is that this nonetheless occurring? I want solutions. pic.twitter.com/TpGdZ4xyQ1

Sentenced to hang in a backwater western town, horse thief Henry Moon (Jack Nicholson) is saved when frontierswoman Julia Tate (Mary Steenburgen) agrees to marry him. Taking advantage of the town law that prohibits the execution of married men, Moon follows Tate back to her ranch, planning all the while to escape at the first possible opportunity. But Tate insists that he honor his end of the bargain at work on the ranch. She has no intention of consummating the union, a fact that drives the hot-to-trot Moon up a wall. She puts him to work on the gold mine that she has on her property, while his old gang prepares to relieve the couple of their gold once it's on the surface. Jack Nicholson personally selected movie newcomer Mary Steenburgen for Goin' South. The film also features John Belushi in the role of a dyspeptic deputy.

FAO And WFP Appeal For Immediate Support For Northern Mali
BAMAKO - An Emergency Food Security Assessment conducted jointly by the Government of Mali, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), the World Food Programme (WFP), and 15 other partners shows that three out of four households living in northern regions of the country are food insecure and heavily reliant on food assistance.
The most vulnerable people in northern Mali, estimated to number around 1.3 million, have had little chance to recover following the recent conflict and last year's food and nutrition crisis as a result of erratic rains. As internally displaced people and refugees begin to return to their home communities, the limited resources will be further strained and the number of people requiring assistance is likely to increase.
The depletion of livestock in the last few months is having a serious impact on the food security and livelihoods of the agro-pastoral population. The combined effects of the food crisis and the security situation have left little room for recovery. Although the local economy is slowly recovering in the north and food security agencies are strengthening their presence, many farmers have been unable to purchase seeds and fertilizers and continue to require food assistance.
To scale up its operation in the north until the end of the lean season, WFP requires US$67 million in contributions to continue to provide vital food assistance to the most vulnerable population and respond to the nutritional needs of children, pregnant and lactating women.
FAO requires US$12 million in contributions to protect and restore the livelihoods of vulnerable households in the northern part of the country. Assistance provided until the end of the year will primarily include the provision of agricultural quality inputs, veterinary inputs for livestock and fishing gear for 420 000 vulnerable people , enabling them to produce food as early as December 2013.
These combined actions will help the Government of Mali, FAO and WFP to save lives and livelihoods by providing food assistance and agricultural productive means to the most vulnerable people in the northern regions of Timbuktu, Gao, Kidal and Mopti.
An Emergency Food Security Assessment for the south of the country is currently being undertaken.
Achieving food security for all is at the heart of FAO's efforts – to make sure people have regular access to enough high-quality food to lead active, healthy lives. Our mandate is to improve nutrition, increase agricultural productivity, raise the standard of living in rural populations and contribute to global economic growth.

Toshiba America Business Solutions' e-STUDIO™4508LP, the world's first hybrid copier capable of producing erasable as well as standard monochrome prints, earned Better Buys Q3 2017 Editor's Choice Award. The industry's first-of-its-kind product received the coveted honor by outperforming a wide array of other monochrome copiers in side-by-side comparisons.
Better Buys editors were especially impressed by the e-STUDIO4508LP's eco and cost-savings elements as well as the product's erasable toner. Featuring Toshiba's proprietary erasable toner, the e-STUDIO™4508LP enables paper reuse by erasing all printed content on the page.
Content produced using the hybrid copier's erasable toner is erased by simply loading pages into a designated cassette or the bypass tray and pressing the Erase button on the e-STUDIO4508LP's front panel.
The product's rules-based printing setting is another eco-conscious element engineered within Toshiba's hybrid copier. This feature enables users to select toner setting defaults based on the application. As a result, temporary items, such as emails, may be designated to print in erasable toner to conserve paper while more permanent documents such as those printed from Microsoft Word may be assigned to print in standard monochrome toner.
"The Toshiba team is excited about our hybrid copier's selection as Better Buys Q3 2017 Editor's Choice," said Bill Melo, Toshiba America Business Solutions chief marketing executive. "Our game changing e-STUDIO4508LP copier is already resonating with customers looking to operate in a more sustainable manner."
Toshiba America Business Solutions (TABS) provides multifunction printers, managed document services and digital signage for businesses of all sizes throughout the United States, Mexico, and Central and South America.
TABS' Ellumina™ digital signage offering includes all of the hardware, software and services needed to implement dynamic and interactive digital signage installations.

Every time you turn around, there's another piece of bad news about the world and the people in it, namely us. The headline which screamed at me early this morning has very personal resonance; Being Sleepy During the Day Could Be a Warning Sign of Alzheimer's.
At this point in my life, I have dealt with daytime sleepiness for nearly three decades due to the trajectory of my career; working early mornings on the radio. Of course that is not the sole reason for my sleepy-headed nature. I also spent many years with untreated severe sleep apnea.
Now that I have become a member of the CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure) machine nation, I do sleep better at night, but not necessarily longer. I have always been a night owl and even after I started getting up at 4 in the morning for work, I would stay up until 11:30 PM or midnight, (I was addicted to Letterman) most nights. I now make a concerted effort to be asleep by 11 PM, but again, that is only 5 hours of sleep a night.
A new study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) reveals that daytime sleepiness "may be an indicator of Alzheimer's disease". The study's authors remain unsure of the exact mechanism, but are circling around disrupted sleep as the possible culprit.
Without going into a lot of physiological detail, when you sleep you clear out a lot of the shmutz (amyloid plaque deposits) in your brain. But when you don't get quality, uninterrupted sleep, that built-up shmutz can eventually lead to Alzheimer's.
Remember when you were a little kid and napping was something you despised, not craved? Me too.
Now-- if I could just remember where I put my car keys!
