The Female Photographer Who Peeled Back the Surface of Eighties New York
Photographs of revelrous art world celebrities come thick and fast in Paige Powell's epic three-part book project with Gucci and Dashwood Books. But it's the off-guard snaps of them joyfully gorging on food or sharing tender moments with their pets that offer the biggest surprises. Words by Emily Steer
Artist David Hockney's dachshunds, Stanley and Boogie, get frisky, Malibu, California, 1983
Paige Powell's publishing project with Gucci and Dashwood Books is less a coffee table book and more a coffee table mini-library. The three-part, limited edition collection focuses on a few key elements of the American photographer's work: Beulah Land (a visual diary installation that the artist created in 1894 for an arts space in the East Village), animals and artists eating. There is also a short book introducing Powell and her work, and the collection is full of short essays, musings and quotes that pull the reader into this artist's convivial life. It is all boxed and beautifully presented, with each book wrapped in a different block colour.
"Her images of many well-known faces show them relaxed and off-guard"
Moving to New York from Portland, Oregon in 1980, Powell became a regular face on the social scene in downtown NYC. She was a close friend and colleague (Interview Magazine) of Andy Warhol—who appears frequently in candid, glitzy shots—and has mingled with names such as David Bowie, Jerry Hall and Debbie Harry. As the collection's editor Kim Hastreiter writes in her introduction on Powell, she is "a woman who never really sought fame for herself". As such, over the years she has embedded herself within creative circles, becoming a natural and almost invisible part of them (at least, as far as the camera is concerned), profiling the characters who have surrounded her rather than pushing to be the star herself. Her images of many well-known faces show them relaxed and off-guard, and she often presents them through the casual and tender lens of friendship, rather than playing up to their star status.

Beulah Land, which was recently presented in installation form at London's Dover Street Market, is a raucous celebration of nightlife and the lively friendships that spark from fun-loving social circles. These images highlight a time when underground scenes were thriving, and subcultures had time to enjoy devoted and limited membership, before the digital world created such instant, global dissemination of trends. The book opens with a few double spreads: one spectacular full-colour image (Powell's photographs vary between grainy black and white, and lusciously coloured) shows two revellers at fashion industry Aids fundraiser The Love Ball, dressed in drag; one playing on the sixties darling look—string of pearls, pink psychedelic shift dress and all—the other in a sheeny lavender Louis XIV-era ensemble.
The book is littered with mini-essays by Powell and quotes from her close acquaintances, speaking about different experiences and encounters from this time. In one case she discusses The Love Ball. "It was so exuberant," she writes, "the energy that was generated made us feel that we could heal or bring back people we had lost. I get melancholy sometimes, thinking of all the wonderful and talented friends who are gone. But The Love Ball really felt like a celebration of life."
"Her animal photography plays up to each creature's individual quirks—much like her photographs of humans"
This balance between exuberant, joyful life and activism has been an ongoing theme in Powell's career, and her fierce, ongoing work for animal rights prompts another book in the collection: Animals. The front cover features Warhol with a white, wiry doppelgänger pooch perched on his lap, both gazing intensely into the camera lens. In this book, we mostly see animals in pet-form, being cuddled lovingly by their owners. These images tell us something about the animal/human connection—no matter how famous their owners, there is an off-guardedness to these photographs, the people in them appearing lost in the moment with their animal buddies. The intimacy of leaning down to tickle a dog behind its ear or let a pet eat from a shared dinner plate allows us a closer look at these people who have often been presented with a lofty aloofness.

"Even though she lived in this crazy art world, Paige was grounded in her family and her love of nature and animals," writes Jennifer Chaitman, a young would-be photographer when she met Powell, who inspired her to go on to work as a veterinarian. "She was a vegan before I even knew what the term meant." The artist has worked with many charitable animal organizations over the years, and held events to raise money for dog walkers to help house-bound people with Aids. Her animal photography plays up to each creature's individual quirks—much like her photographs of humans—rather than anything too cutesy, and they are presented as equals to their human companions.
The final book offers the reader a similar sense of intimacy. Artists Eating does what it says on the tin—showing her cast of characters eating, drinking and chatting at glamorous meals (or unglamorously shovelling in forkfuls of food from hand-held plates at openings and, in one instance, in bed). These images highlight the sociability of Powell's scene and seem to invite the reader for a seat at the table.
"Oh my gosh," Tama Janowitz writes in the introduction to Artists Eating, "I wish you could have been there at one of those lunches or dinners Paige hosted! You would have fit in perfectly! Because, quite frankly, everyone did." This was a place for prima ballerinas, opera singers and multimillionaire CEOs to come together. "I loved to see the baffled expressions of her guests as they came in," says Janowitz. "Why were they invited? What did she want from them? What were they doing there?" She describes cameras "exploding everywhere" at these events, polaroids and film cameras creating "more havoc than if there had actually been a full team of paparazzi present".
This playful havoc can be felt throughout all of the books. None of these images appear to be created especially for the camera, but the camera finds its way to the most intimate and often unceremonious of angles. Her images create a vivacious snapshot of a scene and creative buzz that often feels lost in the filtered world we now find ourselves in. Though Powell is still active, there is a sense of heady nostalgia to these images, for a close-ish past that already feels very far away.

The American Academy of Sleep Medicine recommend the use of oral devices such as the SomnoDent® MAS for mild-to-moderate OSA (AHI < 25), or for patients with severe OSA who are either unable to tolerate CPAP or refuse treatment with CPAP.
If BMI is below 30 (which means that a person is not obese) the probability that the device will work is higher. To calculate your BMI please use this chart.
SomnoMed defines good dentition as at least 6 teeth on the lower mandible with no periodontal disease. These three indicators offer a good guide to screening patients for oral device therapy and may increase the efficacy outcome of the treatment.

Chris Hipkins confirmed as New Zealand leader, picks deputy
by: NICK PERRY, Associated Press
WELLINGTON, New Zealand (AP) — Chris Hipkins was confirmed Sunday as New Zealand's next prime minister and he chose Carmel Sepuloni as his deputy, marking the first time a person with Pacific Island heritage has risen to that rank.
Hipkins got the unanimous support of lawmakers from his Labour Party after he was the only candidate to enter the contest to replace Jacinda Ardern, who shocked the nation Thursday when she announced she was resigning after more than five years as leader.
Hipkins will be officially sworn in to his new role on Wednesday. He will have less than nine months before contesting a tough general election, with opinion polls indicating his party is trailing its conservative opposition.
The lack of other candidates for leader indicated that party lawmakers had rallied behind Hipkins to avoid a drawn-out contest and any sign of disunity following Ardern's departure.
In setting out his priorities, Hipkins said he knew many families were struggling due to the "pandemic of inflation" and that the economy would be central to his government's thinking.
When asked if he would take on the same transformational approach to government that Ardern had promised after first winning the top job, Hipkins indicated he wanted to get back to basics.
"We will deliver a very solid government that is focused on the bread-and-butter issues that matter to New Zealanders, and that are relevant to the times that we are in now," Hipkins said. "2017 was five-and-a-half years ago, and quite a lot has happened since then."
Like Hipkins, Sepuloni first became a lawmaker 15 years ago and has most recently taken on the social development and employment portfolios as one of the government's top ministers.
She said it was "very hard to fathom that a working-class girl" from a small New Zealand town could end up as deputy prime minister.
"I want to acknowledge the significance of this for our Pacific community," Sepuloni said. "I am proudly Samoan, Tongan, and New Zealand European, and represent generations of New Zealanders with mixed heritage."
Sepuloni said she'd already been receiving lots of humbling messages about another glass ceiling being smashed.
Opposition leader Christopher Luxon told reporters he'd congratulated Hipkins by text. But Luxon said Hipkins and Sepuloni had been part of a government that had "failed spectacularly" to get things done and that after the leadership change, it would be more of the same.

Why also didnt the rest of the fleet managed to get out of Sol via the other nodes??

This brain for rent.
To drag this fairly interesting thread back on-topic, I'd also agree that a second Colossus, or at the very least a Colossus-esque project, would be something that the GTVA would most likely consider if at all possible. However, I'd also expect that presumably-limited resources would be first directed toward more manageable projects, such as advances in the corvette/frigate range, or more specialized anti-capship weaponry. The GTVA has to know for a fact that nothing at all (or at the very least, nothing in the foreseeable future) could make any sort of dent in a full-fledged Shivan invasion. In lieu of coming up with some method of doing so, focusing on improving current technology against what would be feasible immediate threats would make the most sense.
That being said, I did come up with a specialized weapon that seems somewhat feasible and would be invaluable against any future Shivan encounters. In "High Noon," we saw that the Colossus's (albeit overloaded) beam cannons were capable of out-ranging those of the Sathanas. We also know that the main beam cannons of the Sathanas were each able to be destroyed with a single double Helios volley, a damage level well within the GTVA's current beam weaponry limits. So...why not take advantage of all of this? With sufficient levels of fire control accuracy, and a beam with coherence (but not power) equal to that of the Colossus's main guns, it seems to me that it would be feasible to develop an anti-turret beam cannon, capable of disarming main beam weaponry from a fair distance away. Throw a few of these on a corvette or destroyer, and you'd be able to cripple an enemy before it could return fire. After that, send in whatever ships you want to finish the job. Specialty weapons like this seem like they'd offer the GTVA their only chance of surviving any future encounters with something at the level of a Sathanas.
Prepare for Descent!

I think that the GTVA has learned not to put all of it's eggs in one basket, and won't build something as large as the colossus again for a good long while. I mean, just think about it, would you rather have a bunch of fast and small destroyers that are easier to repair/deploy, or a gigantic ship like the colossus that just seems like a supply/repair nightmare?
There's a reason the Battleship has been pushed out of naval warfare in modern times.

Quote from: Swantz on September 03, 2007, 03:45:31 am
And that reason is the ballistic missile! And the FreeSpace equivalent is......?
Actually, I think a Knossos project would take priority in the post Capella scenario.
Remember folks, Sol was *the* industrial center of the GTA, and odds are the GTVA still is in contact with the forces there (sure, radio takes its time, but iti s only a couple of years from Alpha Centaury)
But even if not, think of the shipyards, of the factories, refineries.... well, if they didn't nuke themselves or something as idiotic as that. (yeah, no guarantees here)
on any case, the time it took to build Colossus? I bet a large part was infrastructure to do so. and the first one always takes longer.
Now, I am guessing it would get some redesign, so it would get a better beam convergence, or maybe improved armor.... seems she was designed before collapsed core molby was incorporated, so she might het an armor and hull overhaul.
finally, what about a missile based system for Meson delivery? the thing is big, but why not tie it to a huge drone like missile? would make an interesting standoff weapon (specially if they can do a missile spam... now, picture it, meson missile spam! that'd be the sight)
Quote from: CB on September 03, 2007, 05:50:06 am
Er... Hi CB, don't know if you have been welcomed yet so............
If the meson bomb was small enough to fit into a drone fighter they would have done so in FS2 (blowing up the Bastion), Why waste a destroyer, even one that was de-commissioned, when you could salvage that and use a cheap drone. (I'm unsure why they didn't just freighter unless it was the armament that the Bastion had that helped it get through, in that case a drone is more likely to be taken down)
Well, I always thought they used an Orion because they expected oposition... The Bastion was really damaged even before Alpha 1 joined the fight (dunno if it wasn't due to the destroyer being decomissioned), so I guess that they had to put a helluva fight there. Besides, an Orion can be hit with multiple Cyclopses and be in good form, whereas most freighters won't survive even a single torpedo.
As already said many times before, I think that they could produce another Colossus in a matter of 5 years, assuming they would find enough resources for this. As far as improvements go, probably tougher armor, better reactors and maybe equip it with those "60 fighter and bomber wings" at last Unless the GTVA makes some breakthrough in weaponry, I don't think that they could create any anti-juggernaut weapons before next century, however the Colossus works great as destroyer-killer, and it should be used as such.
Ah, and according to the FSWiki, the Collie had only 18 blobs... wasn't it supposed to have "45 laser turrets" ? If you could give it so many blobs, then why not replace them with more flaks ? This way it would own most bombs before they reach it.
And about contact with Earth - I believe that the Earth forces could have retrived the "arms" of the Lucy, the ones that contained the SSLs. According to the FS1 outro they were one of the few elements that survive the explosion. of course, most of the weapon itself would be damaged, however even researching hitsinks or such could give some great results. Remember, the GTVA built its beams basing only on scans. I believe that they could create much better ones if they had access to the wrecks of the original ones
Quote from: Wobble73 on September 03, 2007, 06:03:48 am
Thanks for the welcome.
When I spoke of a drone, I was talking conceptually, basically a manned vehicle big enough and fast enough to pull a kamikaze (assuming that, since it doesn't have a pilot or that it is a one use vessel, then I assume it can be as unsafe as it can be as long as it makes it fast enough (and is able to mount a shield).
in short I am talking about a drone built around the bomb to serve as a delivery mechanishm, nothing more, nothing less.

Architectural, Residential And Cultural Complex Of The Radziwill Family At Nesvizh
Cultural Belarus Europe And North America Minsk Province (minskaya Voblasts')
The architectural, residential and cultural complex of the Radziwill family at Nesvizh was the cradle for inoculation of new concepts based on the synthesis of Western traditions, leading to the establishment of a new architectural school in Central Europe. It represents an important stage in the development of building typology in the history of architecture of the Central Europe in the 16th and 17th centuries, in particular the Corpus Christij Church, typologically related to the cross-cupola basilica.
Built and occupied by the Radziwill family from the 16th to 20th centuries, the ensemble is located in the town of Nesvizh, in the Province of Minsk, in central Belarus. It consists of the castle-residence and the mausoleum church of Corpus Christij with their setting. The castle has ten interconnected buildings, including the palace, the galleries, the residence and the arsenal, which developed as one architectural whole around a six-sided courtyard. The buildings are set within the remains of the 16th-century fortifications that comprise four bastions and four curtain walls in a rectangular plan, surrounded by a ditch. Via a dam, the castle is connected to the Corpus Christij Church, which forms a block of the urban area of Nesvizh. The ensemble is in the middle of a cultural landscape that has various design components. The boundaries of the area cover an elongated territory with the main axe parallel to the Usha riverbed and waterfront.
The castle is oriented from west to east. The entrance is from the west through the gate building, the lower part of which is embedded in the rampart. It has an octagonal two-storey gate tower, topped with a helm. The original structure dates from the 16th century. The first floor and the tower were added in the 18th century. The principal building of the complex is the palace, which occupies the centre of the east side of the inner yard. It also dates from the 16th century, and was enlarged in the 18th century. This is a three-storey building on an almost square floor plan.
The corners are strengthened by four octagonal towers with alcoves. The facade is decorated by stucco work by Antoni Zaleski. The ground floor, originally used as a treasury, has preserved the 16th-century vaults. The main staircase is decorated by the 18th-century representation of 'Aurora' Francisezek Smuglewicz. On the first floor the interiors date from the 18th and 19th centuries. The south side of the court has the three-storey Residence building, built in the 16th century, with a tower. The north side has a corresponding Arsenal building, which also used to house a chapel. These are connected to the palace via gallery structures, which cut the corners of the court. The court is then closed by annexes that connect these buildings to the gate structure.
Corpus Christij Church lies in the eastern part of the town of Nesvizh, next to the street leading to the castle. The plan of the building is based on a Latin cross, with an elongated rectangular body from which project two lateral chapels with five sides and an apsidal chancel. At the crossing of the nave and the transept there is dome. The side chapels are roofed with domes without lanterns.
Among the most valuable fittings are the tomb of Krzysztof Radziwill (1607) and the altar of Holy Cross (1583) by the Venetian sculptors Girolamo Campagna and Cesare Franco. The vaults of the church have frescoes by Ksawery D. Heski from 1852-53. The two-storey facade is divided by a prominent entablature, slightly offset on the axes of the pilasters and topped with a triangular gable. Under the church there is a crypt with the coffins of 72 members of the Radziwill family, dating from the 16th-20th centuries. The church is surrounded by an 18th-century boundary wall.

WHERE DOES GSP-UFC RELATIONSHIP STAND?
Yesterday's announcement of the official launch of the MMA Athletes Association left a lot of talking points coming out of the two-hour conference call. One major talking point that has very little to do with the association itself is the fighting status of Georges St-Pierre.
GSP had previously announced that he is now a free agent, a proclamation UFC very much disagreed with, and besides a short video admitting to a meeting with UFC brass, we've heard little on the contract front from GSP since.
As for what the "evidence" might be that makes him a free agent, only he and his lawyers know right now. Regardless, now that he is a leading figure in a group trying to unify MMA fighters and cut into UFC's profits, don't expect to see St-Pierre in a UFC cage anytime soon.
Be sure to read MMATorch editor Wade Keller's detailed report of yesterday's "industry re-defining" conference call.
Hiscoe's Analysis: I can't say that this closes the door on GSP's UFC career, but it's certainly a step closer. I find it interesting that he is now hedging just a little bit when he says he's "a free agent from my side of the situation," basically admitting that he thinks he's a free agent but he knows from UFC's and potentially a legal perspective, he's not a free agent.
As for the MMAAA, it's hard to grasp how much influence it's really going to have. They said that they aren't going to seek out full legal union status, so that will take away much of the leverage they could gain in securing collective bargaining and some of the other demands they are making. That said, if they get enough fighters on board, and big name fighters at that, they can get something done without legal union status. Conor McGregor has shown over the past year or so that a valuable fighter can get more money if he or she asks for it and if they are willing to sit out in order to get what they want. If enough big name fighters get on board and refuse to take fights until the MMAAA demands are met, something could get done. This could get ugly, or it could go nowhere. Time, and who blinks first, will tell.
-Conor McGregor has been issued a boxing license in California but was apparently denied a license in Nevada, fueling speculation that he is pursuing a boxing match with Floyd Mayweather.
–Saturday's UFC Fight Night on FS1 averaged 686,000 viewers.
-Tonya Evinger won her appeal of her loss to Yana Kunitskaya and the fight has been deemed a no-contest meaning Evinger is again/still the Invicta bantamweight champion. Evinger had been instructed by the referee to take her foot off of Kunitskaya's face while trying to escape an armbar, which lead her to submit. The foot on the face for leverage was a legal maneuver. Invicta president Shannon Knapp said she will work to book an immediate rematch.
-Goiti Yamauchi vs. Valeriu Mircea is set for Bellator 168 from Florence, Italy on Dec. 10.

Army kills 50 terrorists in Aleppo, 100 ISIS members in Deir Ezzor
Army units continue operations against Turkey-backed terrorists in Idleb countryside
Army units canvass liberated villages in Hama countryside
Army liberates more villages in Hama northwestern countryside
Provinces, SANA – Dozens of terrorists were killed as the army units carried out intensified operations against their positions, destroying also their equipment and heavy weapons.
50 ISIS and Nusra terrorists killed
At least 50 terrorists, mostly from Jabhat al-Nusra and ISIS, were killed as the army units targeted their positions and hideouts in the city and countryside of Aleppo.
A military source told SANA on Wednesday that the army operations in Aleppo city took place in the neighborhoods of Karm al-Jabal, Suleiman al-Halabi, al-Rashidin, al-Ramousa, al-Khalediyeh, al-Lairamoun, al-Sakhour, Bani Zaid and Bustan al-Basha.
A number of terrorists were killed and their vehicles, some of them equipped with machinegun and various ammunition in addition to rocket launcher pads that targeted that secure neighborhoods were destroyed.
Terrorists were also targeted in al-Mansoura village in the western countryside of Aleppo province and in the villages of Tal al-Naam, Tal al-Alam, Ain Sabel, aL-Radwaniyeh, al-Rayan, al-Jabboul, Tal Istabl and Treidem in the southeastern countryside.
Meanwhile in the eastern countryside, the army units defending the Air Force Academy killed a number of ISIS terrorists and destroyed their weapons in the vicinity of the Academy.
The army operations also left a number of the terrorists' vehicles, some equipped with machine guns, destroyed.
The Army's Air force carried out on Wednesday afternoon intensive strikes that targeted the movements of terrorist organizations in Khan al-Asal, the Journalists association, al-Sabeiha, al-Qaroutieh, Hueijena, Jub al-Safa, Kabara, houses of the thermal station, al-Rudwaneih farms, Balat and al-Naseriyeh.
The air strikes resulted in killing a number of terrorists and destroying their dens, arms and ammunition.
Meanwhile, terrorist organizations acknowledged on their social media pages that a number of their members were killed.
14 ISIS terrorists killed
An army unit targeted last night ISIS hideouts in Mrat village in the eastern countryside of Deir Ezzor province.
Field sources told SANA Wednesday that the army operation left more than 14 ISIS terrorists dead, noting that those included Khaled al-Ayash, Asaad Mohammad al-Ayash, Yazan Mohammad al-Ayash, Ahmad al-Shouk and Izz-Eddin al-Moheimid.
Other terrorists were injured, the sources added, noting that some of those are in critical condition.
Meanwhile, media sources said at least 100 ISIS terrorists were killed and 115 others were injured in al-Kharita village in western Deir Ezzor on Monday.
The Army's air Force destroyed vehicles for ISIS terrorists during air strikes against their dens in al-Mreiya area.
Two vehicles, one of which was equipped with a heavy machinegun, were destroyed along with all terrorists inside them during an operation by army units in al-Karak neighborhood and to the south of the Technical Institute in Daraa al-Balad area in Daraa city.
The army's operations against terrorists' dens and gatherings in al-Siba and al-Arbain neighborhoods in the same area resulted in the death of many terrorists and in injuring many others, as well as destroying of their weapons and ammunition.
Another army unit thwarted terrorists' attempts to infiltrate from the southeast side of SyriaTel building and from west of Bilal al-Habashi Mosque towards al-Minshia neighborhood to support terrorists there who are retreating under army's onslaught, and this left many of the attacking terrorists dead or injured.
Sweida
Army units targeted ISIS gathering in Kherbat Saab in Sweida's north-eastern countryside, killing a number of terrorists and destroying their vehicles and weaponry.
Quneitra
5 terrorists killed
The so called " Bait al-Maqdes in Horan and Golan" terrorist group admitted today that five of its members were killed in Quneitra countryside.

As always, repeated indices are summed over, and the primed indices indicate the new coordinates. Note that the valence of the primed index is inverted: an upper index in the denominator is equivalent to a lower index in the numerator.
This transformation consists of two operations. The first involves a substitution of the original coordinates as functions of the new ones in the original tensor. The resulting tensor is then multiplied by the matrix whose elements are the derivatives of the old coordinates as functions of the new. For tensors with multiple covariant indices, the matrix multiplication is performed on each original index: the transformation is a multilinear operation, the tensor transforming linearly in each index.
"Tofxpll" might be read "T of x' with two lower indices", while "dxofxpdxplu" might be read "the derivative of x as a function of x' with respect to x', whose first index is lower and whose second index is upper". The use of meaningful variable names is always encouraged as a way of making your code at least somewhat self-documenting.
The first statement performs the substitution, using the ReplaceAll (/.) and Rule (->) operators. The use of Thread causes corresponding elements of the lists to be substituted. For instance, xu[] will be replaced by xfu[], xu[] will be replaced by xfu[], etc. The second statement creates the matrix of derivatives, and the final statement performs the matrix multiplication (and serves as the model for all index contraction in the sequel). Note the use of the simpler function defined in the Introduction.
The first line documents the usage of coordxform, whose arguments are the original covariant tensor, a list of the original coordinates, a list consisting of those coordinates as functions of the new and a list of the new coordinates. Note that the dimension of the new coordinate system need not be the same as that of the old. The function definition includes patterns in the argument list which restrict the use of coordxform to arguments which are lists. This is an effective control on the invocation of the function which can help to prevent errors. Block is used to force the scope of the variables in its first argument to be local to coordxform: another technique which can help make the code less brittle.
A series of If statements are used to ensure that coordxform is called with arguments that are appropriate to its definition and consistent with each other. Note that Mathematica stores a matrix as a list of lists; its Length is therefore the number of lists at the top level. These tests also contribute to making the code more resilient in the face of accidental misuse.
The substitution operation and the creation of the derivative matrix are essentially identical to those in the previous example. The remaining statements perform the number of matrix multiplications appropriate for the rank of the tensor being transformed. Note the index variables: the author has adopted the convention of using two letter index variables inside functions so that it is less likely that a symbol occurring in an argument will have the same name as an index variable.
This transformation is used extensively throughout the text in order to improve Mathematica execution times.
The student is encouraged to write functions "raise" and "lower" analogous to coordxform. They will each have two arguments: the original tensor and the index number affected, and can be tested by performing raise on either index of the metric, and lower on either index of the inverse metric. In either case, the result should be the Identity Matrix.
Note that we must first create a zero tensor with the correct number of indices; since the remainder of the code changes individual components, Mathematica requires that they exist before being modified. This code assumes that the metric associated with this connection is stored in "gll", that the inverse metric is "guu" and that xu is again the list of coordinates. We will assume that tensor names, once adopted, are used consistently in all code examples unless otherwise stated.
where τ is the affine parameter. Obviously, the nonzero components control the geodesic deviation. Therefore if for some b, Γab b is only nonzero for a = b, then all curves tangent to xb are geodesics. In physical terms, their acceleration is parallel to their velocity. We will call such directions geodesic directions. If b and c are members of a subset of the coordinate directions such that Γab c is only nonzero when a is also a member of this subset, then these directions can be said to define a geodesic hypersurface: any geodesic tangent to the hypersurface is wholly contained within it.
NB: The definition of the Riemann Curvature Tensor is independent of metric signature. However, lowering the final index will induce a relative negative sign if using negative signature metrics. This effect occurs whenever the metric is involved (ie., the cosmological constant term in Einstein's Equations, the pressure term in perfect fluid Stress-Energy Tensors, etc.).
independent components. This implies that all D = 1 manifolds have zero curvature.
computing the upper half-matrix for each pair of indicies and use the symmetries to fill in the remaining components. The final symmetry is more trouble to program than it is worth.
We note that if Ra b a b is zero, then the a-b hypersurface is flat, but none of the manifolds we will be examining are that trivial.
These tensors will be used repeatedly in the analyses below, and it makes sense for the programmer to combine all of them into a single function so that for any metric, one function call will compute them all. The inverse metric and Christoffel Symbols should of course be included in the beginning of that function. It will also be useful for the student to write a function analogous to coordxform which will return the covariant derivative of a tensor with an arbitary number of covariant indices.
where the left hand side is called the Einstein Tensor, and the stress-energy tensor T has dimensions of energy density.
Provided that ga b is dimensionless, α can be multiplied by G / c4 to normalize the dimensions of all terms to 1/length2. However, if ga b is not dimensionless, as for instance in spherically symmetric metrics, it is easier to work with Einstein's Equations with one index raised. Then gab = Iab and all is well so long as Tab has dimensions of energy density.
In this example, L is the cosmological constant, and a replaces α as the coefficient of the stress-energy tensor. The "===" operator ensures that Mathematica will return a simple True or False. Of course this code only tests for solutions on a specific coordinate chart; the process of solving Einstein's Equations involves identifying the manifold or submanifold covered by a given chart on which a particular metric solves the equations. Some things must still be done by human reasoning!
Since Mathematica indices must start with 1, we assume that the timelike index corresponds to 4 (or in general, D). This means that in even dimensions this function will produce an extra minus sign relative to the standard usage of 0 for the timelike index. The minus sign is selected for metrics of Lorentz signature. We can of course define the symbol analogously for any fixed D.
The next section discusses curvature invariants.

Chiefs news for 18 October 2020
Chiefs or Bills face a steep fall from the top in Week 6 | AA
Heading into Week 5, the Kansas City Chiefs were already two games up on every other team in their division. At 4-0, the defending Super Bowl champions were winners of13 games in a row, loaded with the promise of a "Run It Back" campaign that looked legitimate. The AFC West already seemed locked up, and the league's best offense looked unstoppable.
Much of the same could be said for the Buffalo Bills. In the AFC East, the Bills, at that same time stamp, were sitting pretty in their own division, two games ahead of the New England Patriots for the lead in the AFC East. Their quarterback, Josh Allen, looked like an early MVP candidate. The biggest offseason addition, Stefon Diggs, looked like the ideal import. The defense looked stacked on all three levels. Then came Week 5.
Bills vs. Chiefs live stream info, TV channel: How to watch NFL on TV, stream online | CBSSports
The Bills have to be hurting after a devastating 42-16 defeat at the hands of the Tennessee Titans this past Tuesday. RB T.J. Yeldon put forth a good effort for the losing side as he snatched one receiving TD.
Meanwhile, Kansas City came up short against the Las Vegas Raiders this past Sunday, falling 40-32. This was hardly the result the Chiefs or its fans were betting on, as they were favored by 10.5 points over Las Vegas heading into this game. The losing side was boosted by QB Patrick Mahomes, who passed for two TDs and 340 yards on 43 attempts in addition to punching in one rushing touchdown. Mahomes ended up with a passer rating of 128.30.
The losses bumped both teams down to an identical 4-1. Two numbers to keep in mind before kickoff: Buffalo comes into the matchup boasting the fourth fewest thrown interceptions in the NFL at one. But Kansas City is even better: they have yet to throw a single interception. So expect both teams to feel comfortable airing the ball out.
Andy Reid cited as primary reason for Le'Veon Bell's selection of Chiefs | AA
"I was told that it was Andy's offensive mind. It's no secret coming out of New York, there's been talk about friction between Lev Bell and Adam Gase in terms of how Le'Veon was used. With Andy Reid, one thing we know about him, he knows offense and he knows how to put his players in positions to succeed. He will do that with Lev."
Reid has been hailed as a creative genius for years and has an extensive body of work after decades as a head coach in the NFL with the Philadelphia Eagles and Kansas City Chiefs. However, it's only been in the last few years in Alex Smith's final season and Patrick Mahomes' first few years in the league that Reid has enjoyed more success—and a higher profile—than ever before. It's a run capped by his first Super Bowl win and the chase for another in 2020.
Chiefs' Andy Reid Praises Le'Veon Bell After RB Signs 1-Year Contract | B/R
You could say Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid is excited about his new running back, Le'Veon Bell. "He's been a heck of a player," Reid told reporters Saturday. "I wouldn't expect anything else here." It's fair to argue that Bell has not, in fact, been a heck of a player the past two seasons, averaging just 3.2 yards per carry last year. In 17 games for the Jets, Bell rushed for 863 yards and three touchdowns. Not exactly inspiring numbers.
Five Things to Know About New Chiefs' RB Le'Veon Bell | Chiefs.com
Bell is one of the most prolific running backs of the last decade. The 28-year-old Bell has made a name for himself as one of the top stars in the game since entering the league in 2013. In that time, despite sitting out the entire 2018 season, Bell ranks third in the NFL in rushing yards (6,199), sixth in 100-yard games (18) and 12th in rushing touchdowns (38). He's averaged 4.2 rushing yards-per-attempt during his career, earning three Pro Bowl nods (2014, '16, '17) and three All-Pro selections – including First-Team honors in 2014 and 2017. As those accolades indicate, Bell was particularly effective from 2014-17 while with the Pittsburgh Steelers. In those four seasons, Bell led the NFL with 6,737 yards from scrimmage and found the end zone 34 times.
Chiefs RB Clyde Edwards-Helaire receives vote of confidence from Eric Bieniemy | ChiefsWire
"I will answer this like this—first of all, we drafted Clyde (Edwards-Helaire) for a reason," Bieniemy told reporters on Friday. "Clyde is doing a heck of a job. The rest of that, I'm going to allow Coach to address that because he is the Head Coach for a reason and Brett Veach is the General Manager for a reason. Then after they address all that, I'll make sure that I jump in. But Clyde is doing a heck of a job. We have been very proud of what our guys have put on tape."
"Well, I know when I played you could never have enough good players," Bieniemy said. "So, you want to make sure that you have great depth at every particular position because you never know when the next man is going to be called upon to play that role. So, whether it's two playing that throughout the course of the game, sometimes three with a third-down back included, the thing you want to do is make sure that you have the right amount of ammo to go out there and help you be as prolific as you can be. It doesn't matter, talent is talent. You want to make sure, regardless of position, that you're ready to go."

Kelechi Osemele to IR as Chiefs make Le'Veon Bell signing official | PFT
Running back Le'Veon Bell is officially a member of the Kansas City Chiefs. The team announced his signing on Saturday afternoon and that he'll be wearing his familiar No. 26 while with the team. Left guard Kelechi Osemele was placed on injured reserve in a corresponding move. Osemele tore tendons in both knees during last Sunday's loss to the Raiders.
Sammy Watkins Ruled Out for Chiefs vs. Bills with Hamstring Injury | B/R
The club announced that Watkins will not play in Week 6 after he didn't practice all week because of a hamstring injury. Watkins has put together some monster performances for the Chiefs, highlighted by a 198-yard, three-touchdown outing in Week 1 of the 2019 campaign, but he's lacked consistency across three seasons with K.C. It's much the same story as his stints with the Bills and Los Angeles Rams.
He's recorded 21 receptions for 222 yards and two touchdowns in five games in 2020. Nagging injuries have been a factor in his up-and-down production. He's played all 16 regular-season games just once, which came in his rookie campaign with Buffalo in 2014.

AFC Power Rankings
1) Pittsburgh – Superior defense with an old Big Ben led non-descript offense
2) Tennessee – Made a statement versus the Bills -Tannehill is the wild card
3) KC – I believe we are better than the top two but give props to the undefeated teams
4) Baltimore – Will be interested to see them face Pittsburgh twice this year
5) NE – The Emperor finds a way to keep his team competitive sans Cam
6) Buffalo – Will be interested to see them face NE twice this year – Josh is the new Big Ben
7) Oakland – will not call them Las Vegas, statement win, Carr under pressure is their downfall
8) Cleveland – Mayfield is the new Derek Carr – I still do not build into their hype
9) Indy – Rivers will end his career here doing what he does best – throwing interceptions
10) Los Angeles – Herbert could make them a long term rival or he could be the new Rivers
11) Miami – They will have some good games with Fitzpatrick but some very bad games as well
12) Denver – Lock has until the end of this year to determine if he can be the future in Denver
13) Jax – This organization has deteriorated since their championship game appearance
14) Houston – My thoughts about Watson will be determined by how he finishes this season
15) Cincy – Burrow is not a bust but there is something about his game I do not like
16) New York – The Jets are by far the worst team in the NFL – they continue to be a joke
Three most important players this Monday – Nick Allegretti, Yasir Durant, Daniel Kilgore
Five to watch – Fisher, Remmers, Reiter, Wylie, Schwartz
To the rescue in the future – Martinas Rankin
Practice squad – Danny Isidora, Darryl Williams
COVID and out – Lucas Niang, LDT
There is a breakdown of our offensive line – The Osemele injury was brutal and is perhaps the biggest obstacle that we need to overcome
If Schwartz cannot make it thru the game, I would suspect that Remmers gets kicked out to tackle and Allegretti fills in at guard. Multiple injuries – Durant and Kilgore need to justify their roster spot. We will probably go shopping for a starter if we have one more offensive lineman go down to injury for an extended period.

Q: Xcode and C++: Necessary to create a new project each time to run code? I am just wanting to know if there is a quick way to run a piece of C++ code in Xcode rather than having to create a new project each time?
I understand I can comment out/run different things in the same file but if working on various different items and ideas, that gets messy. Sometimes I want to be able to just quickly code and run something without going through the whole process of creating/saving a project. Sort of like a "playground" thing for C++ I guess is what I'm asking.
I am new to C++ and Xcode so thanks for any suggestions.

The co-founder of Ethereum has launched a documentary that showcases the distributed ledger technology. The documentary was released in New York on the 26th of October. It was directed and written by Alex Winter and it is titled Trust Machine: The Story of Blockchain. The documentary is about 84 minutes long and it covered several subjects from the history of Bitcoin to the development of blockchain technology. Joseph Lubin, Ethereum's co-founder, and the founder on Consensys, played an executive role in producing the documentary.
Talking about the history of Bitcoin, the documentary credited the global economic crisis of 2008 as the catalyst that propelled Satoshi Nakamoto into the development of Bitcoin and the underlying blockchain technology. His vision was to produce an open decentralized ledger that will be used for financial transactions. However, the documentary made it clear that things didn't happen perfectly as BTC became the number one choice for illegal transactions and other forms of fraud. This is because of the decentralized nature of the network. This stained the reputation of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies that followed. Until this day, the industry hasn't been able to shake off this stain.
"The film is a solid teaching aid. A hodgepodge of arguments for blockchain technology, Trust Machine is not a model of clarity but it explains the basic concept of blockchain technology efficiently".
The documentary talks about many contributions that blockchain technology can make in the world including combating things like identity theft and changing the power distribution process to empower micro-producers. An example is the application of blockchain technology in the solar industry.
"Most people in the world are more concerned about making quick money from the industry. The closing films of the film acknowledged that the potential of blockchain makes it attractive not just to speculators but to scammers as well".
This isn't the first time Alex Winter is creating a cryptocurrency-focused documentary. About three years ago I he produced a 90-minute film called Deep Web. It was about the arrest of Ross Ulbricht, the webmaster of the Silk Road Marketplace.
