Virus infects three generations of Bollywood family
Three generations of a high-profile Bollywood family have tested positive for Covid-19, officials in the Indian state of Maharashtra say.
Results on Sunday showed the actress Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, a former Miss World, and her daughter Aaradhya, eight, were infected with coronavirus.
Her husband Abhishek and father-in-law Amitabh, both also actors, were taken to hospital on Saturday with the virus.
Both men were said to have mild symptoms.
Abhishek Bachchan tweeted that they would remain in hospital "till the doctors decide otherwise".
Aishwarya Bachchan, 46, is one of Bollywood's most famous faces both in India and abroad, featuring in several Bollywood and Hollywood films.
She won the Miss World pageant in 1994 and is Goodwill Ambassador for UNAIDS. In 2003 she was the first Indian actress to be a jury member at the Cannes Film Festival.
Aishwarya and her daughter are said to be asymptomatic. Her husband tweeted to say they would be self-isolating at home.
Outpouring of support
On Saturday Amitabh Bachchan told his millions of Twitter followers he had tested positive for Covid-19.
"I have tested Covid positive, shifted to hospital, hospital informing authorities, family and staff undergone tests, results awaited," he wrote.
Bachchan, 77, has been involved in 200 films over five decades.
He and Abhishek, 44, were taken to Nanavati Hospital in Mumbai on Saturday. Abhishek described them both as having mild symptoms.
Amitabh is currently in the isolation unit of the hospital, news agency ANI reported, quoting a public relations officer for the hospital. He urged anyone who had been close to him in the past 10 days to get tested.
His wife Jaya had tested negative, officials said. It was not clear whether results for other family members were yet in.
Mumbai municipal officials have since put up banners outside the actor's house in the city, classifying it as a "containment zone".
The news has led to an outpouring of support for the family on social media. Among those paying their respects were actress Sonam K Ahuja and former India cricket player Irfan Pathan.
"Dear Amitabh ji, I join the whole Nation in wishing you a quick recovery! After all, you are the idol of millions in this country, an iconic superstar! We will all take good care of you. Best wishes for a speedy recovery!" said India's Health Minister Harsh Vardhan.
Bachchan Snr has enjoyed starring roles in hit movies such as Zanjeer and Sholay. Since rising to fame in the 1970s, he has won numerous accolades including four National Film Awards and 15 Filmfare Awards. France has also bestowed its highest civilian award, the Legion of Honour, for his contribution to cinema.
Outside acting, Bachchan Snr had a brief stint in politics and was elected as a member of India's parliament in 1984 at the behest of former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi. But he resigned three years later, disillusioned by a corruption scandal under Mr Gandhi's government.
In recent months, he has been prominent in helping the government get its message across in the fight against coronavirus.
India saw a record rise in the number of coronavirus cases by 27,100 on Sunday, with the total climbing to nearly 850,000 – the third highest caseload in the world. There have been complaints about a lack of both testing and frontline medical staff.

I hope you're all having a wonderful holiday season. I'm currently enjoying some reading on my new ASUS memo tablet with pink backside ;). The trees are covered in snow and there is a real wood fire in the hearth... So cozy and Christmasy.

Q: Syntax highlighting for own functions only for certain symbols For simplicity, let's say I have defined my own function f that takes in exactly one input argument which is of the Symbol type like this:
f[x_Symbol]:=x;

Now, I want the input argument to show up with Syntax highlighting (with the colouring on symbols like in D[] or Plot[]) for certain input symbols when I call the function.
Let's say I want the green-ish syntax colouring to show up when the input argument is either a,b, or c. Colouring for other symbols can stay as it is (i.e. blue).
How do I achieve this? (The attached picture is what I want to achieve.)

Note: I am using Mathematica version 12.2.

A new series by New York photographer Jessica Yatrofsky is a gorgeous exploration of women's femininity.
The "I Heart Girl," monograph, a follow-up to Yatrofsky's successful 2011 book "I Heart Boy," will be released this summer. The book of portraits shows the huge breadth of people that identify as feminine, urging the viewer to rethink female beauty.
"I've always been drawn to depicting the body," Yatrofsky told The Huffington Post. "I think it's very important to make images that represent a facet that reflects the current cultural landscape, which is why both ['I Heart Boy' and 'I Heart Girl'] highlight gender identification."
Yatrofsky told i-D that while some of her subjects are unclothed, all of them project a vulnerability that is important to understanding how they present their gender and sexual identities.
"It's an impossible task to de-sexualize women," she told i-D. "I think sexual identity is important for the self and I care about celebrating and honoring what resonates with how each subject chooses to express herself."

Q: Aurelia Routing- Reloading the Web Site with F5 results in wrong bundle URLs when using Webpack Dev Server I'm new to Aurelia and stuck at setting up routing with pushState options properly. I have two routes (one for a list view, one for a details view). When I load up http://localhost:8080, the bundles are correctly loaded:

However, when I simply press F5 to reload the page with http://localhost:8080/applicants/1 being the current URL in the address bar, then the bundles are not loaded properly because now applicants is part of the bundle URL:

My router configuration looks like this:
import { RouterConfiguration } from 'aurelia-router';
import { PLATFORM } from "aurelia-framework";

export class App {

    configureRouter(config: RouterConfiguration): void {

        config.options.pushState = true;
        config.options.root = '/';
        config.map([
            {
                route: '',
                name: 'applicants',
                moduleId: PLATFORM.moduleName('./applicant-list/applicant-list'),
                title: 'Applicants'
            },
            {
                route: 'applicants/:id',
                name: 'applicant-detail',
                moduleId: PLATFORM.moduleName('./applicant-detail/applicant-detail'),
                title: "Applicant Detail"
            }
        ]);
    }
}

The list view simply uses regular HTML tags for navigation:
<template>

Applicant List

            Applicant 1

            Applicant 2

</template>

The implementation of the detail view should not matter, but here it is anyway:
export class ApplicantList {

    id: number;

    activate(queryParameters: { id: number }): void {
        this.id = queryParameters.id;
    }

}

I could not find anything useful about this, neither in the Aurelia Routing Documentation, nor in their Contact Manager Tutorial. It works properly when I switch to hash-based routing.
Thank you for your help in advance.

A: Shortly after writing this question, I realized that the HTML meta tag base is not configured by the Aurelia CLI. To fix it, go to the webpack.config.js and search for the line containing const baseUrl = ''. This should be changed to const baseUrl = '/'. You'll probably have to restart the Webpack Dev Server for this to take effect (npm run start or yarn start).

Thanks to everyone who entered the Tate calendar giveaway!
I now know all about some of your cultural highlights for the summer, including the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition, the Magritte exhibition at Tate Liverpool, the Camberwell Arts Festival, and of course the mighty Manchester International Festival, which this time round features everything from an opera inspired by John Dee to The Day We Sang a 'love story with singing' created by Victoria Wood.
I've emailed you both so get back to me as soon as you can to receive your calendars.
Miró at Tate Modern – and a giveaway!
I really enjoyed taking a slow wander around Tate Modern's Joan Miró exhibition this week. Galleries often describe their exhibitions as a 'must-see' but for me, this show really was. I've always loved the deep, powerful colours of Miró's paintings and I'm endlessly intrigued by his spidery, fantastical shapes and symbols, so it's no wonder that this exhibition has been in my calendar for a while.
This is a very comprehensive retrospective, bringing together more than 150 paintings, drawings, sculptures and prints from moments across the six decades of Miró's career. Interestingly, it also traces the more politically engaged aspects of his work, tracing the development of his artistic practice in relation to political and social upheaval during the Spanish Civil War, the Second World War and in Franco's Spain. In a more straightforward way, however, this work is also a great pleasure simply to explore and experience: for me, the especial highlights were the incredible black and white Barcelona Series, but also the meditative, colour-saturated Bleu triptych.
Miró is at Tate Modern until 11 September 2011.
To celebrate this exhibition at Tate Modern, I'm excited to have a lovely Tate Miró calendar to give away courtesy of Flame Tree Publishing, as well as a beautiful calendar from Tate's Watercolour exhibition over at Tate Britain, which I blogged about back here.
If you'd like to enter the giveaway to win one of the calendars, simply leave me a comment at the end of this post to tell me what exhibition, event or other cultural happening coming up in the next few months you'll be putting in your calendar.
As well as telling me what cultural highlight is your 'must-see', don't forget to include whether you would prefer the Watercolour or the Miró calendar. From all the comments, two whinners will be selected at random – each will receive one of the two calendars.
The closing date for the giveaway is Friday 24 June. I'm looking forward to hearing your suggestions!

I have echoed these sentiments for years. Of course, you are not heard when you say something that is negative, not in a think tank, etc…just keep fighting the good fight.
Gen. David Petraeus recently began a public relations blitz to convince American public opinion that the U.S. should stay the course in Afghanistan rather than holding to President Obama's pledge to start withdrawing troops in July.
But most non-military observers understand that the war in Afghanistan cannot be won in any meaningful sense. They also understand a big reason for this is that success in Afghanistan requires a lot more than battlefield victory. To stabilize Afghanistan, the U.S. needs to establish good governance and foster economic development there. In a word, the U.S. must engage in nation-building. The U.S. has a long record of failure at that. Petraeus, however, would have Americans believe that the war can be turned around if we just give his strategy more time, troops and money. In making this case, Petraeus is banking on his prestige as the architect of the 2007 Iraq surge.
That credibility, however, rests on a dubious foundation. The media-savvy Petraeus created a myth — and that is what it is — that the Iraqi surge was successful. Studies of the Iraq war have shown, however, that the surge was incidental to dampening down the violence in Iraq. Most important, however, the surge failed to achieve its overriding objective, which was, as then-President George W. Bush declared, buying time for Iraq's Shia and Sunni populations to achieve political reconciliation. As the current political stalemate in Baghdad indicates, in this respect the surge failed, and Iraq faces a bleak political future.
The strategy Petraeus advocates for Afghanistan is a dubious one based on the counter-insurgency (COIN) doctrine of which he is the primary author. Col. John Nagl, an influential COIN theorist who is president of the Center for a New American Security, has said it will take "at least a generation" for the U.S. to prevail in the fight against terrorism.
The new strategy assumes that the global counter-insurgency may last as long as the Cold War, and will require a greater mobilization of national resources than has occurred to date.
The problem with COIN is that in the real world none of the preconditions that military planners deem necessary for success can be fulfilled. Neither Congress nor the American public is willing to accept an open-ended military commitment to Afghanistan.
COIN misdiagnoses the root cause of America's Middle Eastern difficulties. The U.S. is the target of Islamic terrorists because of its regional policies like support for corrupt regimes, its one-sided stance on the Israeli/Palestinian problem, its heavy politico-military presence, and the fact that the U.S. appears to many in the Middle East to be the imperial successor in the region to the French and British who once dominated it. As Andrew Mack, currently on the faculty of the School of International Studies at Simon Fraser University, pointed out in a classic article 35 years ago, there is a good reason that big states lose small wars: The forces of national and religious identity are stronger than the will of outside powers — powers that, inevitably one day will go home.
On its own terms, COIN is a problematic policy. Even more worryingly, it sets exactly the wrong grand strategic priorities for the United States. In an ironic coincidence, the same morning leading newspapers carried reports of Gen. Petraeus' remarks, another headline announced that China has overtaken Japan as the world's second largest economic power and is on track to overtake the U.S. by 2030 (indeed perhaps as soon as 2020, according to many leading experts). In the early 21st century, East Asia is becoming the world's geopolitical and economic fulcrum, and it is U.S. air and naval power that will be needed to meet the emerging challenge from China. That is where America's long-term grand strategic interests lie — not in fighting futile Eurasian land wars in places like Afghanistan and Iraq.

Jordan Peele's Us thrilled at the box office with a whopping $70 million debut.
The psychological thriller opened at No. 1 with the second-best opening weekend of the year behind Disney's Captain Marvel ($153 million). It nearly doubled its three-day projections, which were in the $38 million to $45 million range.
JAY-Z was among those celebrating the movie's success. "For US by US. Congrats on the #1 movie in the world," the hip-hop mogul said in a tweet shared by Roc Nation.
Peele previously sought JAY-Z's advice. During an Oscars after-party in 2018, Peele shared his concern that he wouldn't be able to replicate the success of his previous film Get Out, but Hov offered some encouraging words.
Us now has the largest weekend for an original horror movie, as well as the biggest launch for an original R-rated film behind Ted. It also surpassed Get Out, which opened with $33 million in 2017.
The movie quadrupled its production cost in less than a week. According to Variety, Universal and Peele's Monkeypaw Productions spent $20 million to make Us, not inclusive of marketing and distribution costs.


The EU-funded ECsafeSEAFOOD project will host a stakeholder event and open science meeting at the Royal Flemish Academy of Science and Art in Brussels, Belgium, from 25-26 January 2017. The conference, entitled 'Seafood Safety: New Findings & Innovation Challenges' is a unique event that marks the end of the ECsafeSEAFOOD project which has assessed food safety issues related to non-regulated contaminants present in seafood as a result of environmental contamination and evaluated their impact on public health.
Deadline for registration: 13 January 2017.
Seafood has been recognised as a high-quality, healthy and safe food type and is one of the most important food commodities consumed worldwide. However, seafood, like other types of food, can also be a source of harmful environmental contaminants with potential to impact on human health. To address these issues, ECsafeSEAFOOD provides scientific evidence to serve as a basis for further development of seafood safety, public health and environmental policies and measures, by seeking to establish a quantitative link between the contamination of the marine environment and that of seafood.
Conference participants will have the opportunity to exchange knowledge on seafood safety, identify the key issues associated with seafood safety in Europe and discuss strategies to mitigate these risks, debate seafood safety risks and challenges, and network with food safety experts.
A diverse set of topics will be discussed during Seafood Safety – New Findings & Innovation Challenges, including: consumer concerns and needs; marine toxins in seafood and the environment; toxicity and modelling of seafood contaminants; rapid detection tools for environmental contaminants; quality assurance of seafood monitoring data; the future of seafood safety; communication outreach and education.

After one of the worst week's of political violence in the country's history, Thailand's Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva has moved to reassure that the situation in Bangkok is now under control.
The Thai capital has seen more than 50 deaths in the last seven days as the military has battled Red Shirts, many from rural Thailand, who have been camping in the city since March in protest at Mr Abhisit's rise to power.
Speaking in English and Thai in a televised address, Mr Abhisit said his government now faced 'huge challenges', 'particularly the challenge of overcoming the divisions that have occurred in this country'.
A curfew will remain in place in Bangkok from 21:00 to 05:00 until the morning of 23rd May. Travellers in the city will be able to travel to and from Suvarnabhumi airport, the city's international hub, during the curfew provided they show passports and travel documents at checkpoints.
The Foreign Office advice for travellers remains unchanged with British citizens warned against 'all but essential travel' to Bangkok and specific areas elsewhere in Thailand. Information on the FCO website updated today states: 'The situation is highly unpredictable and further acts of violence are likely'.
Tourism has become the country's lifeblood since long haul travel opened up the country to visitors in the seventies. Known as the 'land of smiles', the country welcomes around 14million tourists from overseas every year.
And although the Red Shirts protests have largely been limited to the capital the impact on tourism is expected to be far reaching.
Travel search site Skyscanner is reporting a 41 per cent drop in flight searches to Bangkok.
Barry Smith, the company's co-founder said: 'It has taken some time for the situation to have a serious impact on Thailand's popularity in our search rankings - despite the FCO advising against all but essential travel to Bangkok since last month, our data at the end of April showed that tourists weren't being put off flying to the Thai capital.
Smith added that the drop may be short-lived with countries typically recovering from political strife fairly quickly.
Many of the protesters have now been transported by bus back to their homes in Thailand's rural provinces.

When I lived in Japan, it was always difficult to tell people my birthday was Aug. 15. The typical reaction of older Japanese was to make a hissing sound through clenched teeth and to mutter "Haisen no Hi," the "Day of Defeat." It is the date when the Japanese surrendered to end World War II in 1945.
As a college exchange student, I hitchhiked 200 miles from Osaka to Hiroshima to visit their ground zero and make my own peace with the conflict, and to see how the city had been reborn.
My intentions were good, but my planning was lousy, and I arrived late at night to wander rainy Hiroshima without lodging. The guidebook mentioned a youth hostel in the hills above town. I cut through alleyways, empty squares and soggy parks, but the twisting, dead-ending, unsigned roads kept returning me to the train station, where an insular band of homeless men fiercely guarded their dry spaces. I shivered in my damp clothes, scanning trees for cover.
Turning a corner, I nearly collided with a thick elderly woman carrying a heavy sack. She looked up to stare directly into my face, her punch-permed hair jiggling as she scanned me up and down. With her large cloth bag, flowered smock and solid posture, she looked like the Japanese wife of Santa Claus.
"You!" She barked in English, "You! Where you go?" She leaned forward, head practically touching my chest, eyes squinting, lips pursed.
"I go Youth Hostel. Yoooos Hostelu," I added, trying the Japanese pronunciation of the English word.
"No Yoos Hostelu. No!" She crossed her arms to make an X shape, like a basketball referee signaling a flagrant foul.
I wasn't sure if this meant I shouldn't go there, or I couldn't go there. Did it exist at all, or was I just hopelessly lost?
"Yoos Hostel full! All full! No room!" She took a step back and put her hands on her hips, daring me to contradict her. My face must have dropped, realizing my plight.
"You stay my house. House! Wait!" She pointed at a spot underneath a streetlight. "Car come." She picked up her sack and walked away, looking back once to make sure I had obeyed orders.
About 10 minutes later, a rusting brown Toyota stopped in front of me. An old man's wizened head barely poked above the dashboard. When he saw me, he smiled and began nodding vigorously, waving his bony hand downward to indicate I should come.
"House?" He asked me, chuckling.
"Um, yes, house."
He drove us to a trash-strewn gravel parking lot behind a concrete bunker of an apartment building. We walked up a back stairway, the old man surprisingly sprightly on the dark steps.
Inside, Mrs. Japanese Claus sat tucked under a low table next to a small terrier in the middle of a cluttered room. She shouted "House!" and the dog scuttled to its doghouse, a small box in the corner
"Bilingual dog, yo," she said, proudly. They formally introduced themselves as the Yamadas, while the dog's name, amazingly enough, was Santa.
They cooked me a meal of soup, fried noodles and fish. I learned that Mr. Yamada worked long hours as a street sweeper, his wife in a laundry. The economic miracle of Japan had somehow left them behind. Yet they provided me food and shelter as if they were Hiroshima's mayors. He spread a futon for me in the corner of the room, and prepared me a hot bath.
We cheerfully chatted in mixed Japanese and English about the weather, my studies, skills with chopsticks, everything except the obvious. Perhaps 70 years old, my hosts were probably young teens during World War II, and most likely in the vicinity when a pilot from my country dropped the bomb that killed more than 100,000 of their neighbors.
When I did bring up the war, after many shared cups of sake, they both nodded and sat silently a moment. Mrs. Yamada said the city was "like this," she waved up to the cloud of smoke in the room, but "it blow away, long ago. We together now. All in the same HOUSE!"
Santa the dog jumped up to trot back to his doghouse, curling into his blankets. I, too, slept comfortably in the Yamadas' house, warmed in their futon and in their feelings that had turned the "day of defeat" into one of sharing, all in the same house.

Dragon Age 2 review
Videogames > Platforms > PC > Dragon Age 2 review Rated 7 out of 10 By Gamesweasel on March 18, 2011
I never played the original Dragon Age and I'm not really into fantasy role-playing games. The Mass Effect games get a massive thumbs-up from me because of the great characters and sci-fi setting so I wasn't really that excited about fighting loads of mythical monsters with swords and magic. Luckily, the game's actually very playable.
Told as a series of flashbacks, you play as a male or female character called Hawke as either a warrior, rogue or mage. You and your sibling begin the game fleeing the town of Lothering as you flee an army or Darkspawn Hurlocks. After learning about the fighting mechanic using a combination of swordplay and magic and switching characters using the bumpers, you soon get entry into the town of Kirkwall where the majority of action takes place. Once you begin to assemble your party you go on a variety of quests accessible via the game's three maps. You can explore Kirkwall at day or night and the surrounding areas which offer a bit more variety. Unfortunately, unlike exploring space, you get the feeling you're never really on an epic quest as locations and enemies are re-used frequently.
The main thing that keeps me playing games is wanting to know what happens to the characters. There are a mix you interact with including dwarves, elves, Templars, demons and even big spiders. You'll also have to fight the occasional boss such as massive dragons which can prove difficult to kill until you change your tactics in the menu screens. Choosing tactics for AI and unlocking new abilities can look overwhelming at first but luckily you can auto-upgrade and simplify tactics if you're more into exploring, fighting and following the story and less into micro-management. There are of course a variety of other items you can find or buy that can improve your attack, defence, armour and resistance against fire and magic.
Conversations flow better this time around thanks to Mass Effect's radial system being used. You'll also get icons by dialogue which will let you know if you're about to be happy, angry, make a joke or even flirt with other characters in the game.
There's something about Dragon Age 2 that makes me feel they've dumbed it down somewhat and gone for a more action-oriented RPG experience. After hearing about the events of the first game it just seems in comparison there's not actually that much going on in this sequel. Still, for me it's an enjoyable romp but what I'm really waiting for is BioWare's Mass Effect 3 to really get my teeth stuck into. Dragon Age 2 gets 7 out of 10.

\section{Introduction}

Interacting electrons confined to one-dimensional (1D) geometries exhibit several exotic properties. In higher dimensions, electronic properties can often be successfully described by the Fermi liquid theory of non-interacting quasi-particles. However, this description breaks down in 1D. The low-energy behavior of interacting electrons is universally described by the Luttinger liquid (LL) theory.~\cite{Gogolin,Giamarchi2004} Unlike in the Fermi liquid theory, the low-energy excitations are collective, and obey bosonic statistics.

One of the most remarkable properties of interacting electrons in 1D is the spin-charge separation (SCS) phenomenon. Luttinger liquid theory predicts that the low-energy excitations decouple into spin (spinons) and charge (holons) excitations that move at different velocities and at different energy scales.~\cite{Gogolin,Giamarchi2004,Deshpande2010} SCS has been observed experimentally in semiconductor quantum wires,~\cite{Auslaender2005} organic conductors,~\cite{Lorenz2002} carbon nanotubes,~\cite{Bockrath1999} and quantum chains on semiconductor surfaces.~\cite{Blumenstein2011} It has also been predicted that SCS can be achieved in optical lattices of ultracold atoms.~\cite{Kollath2005} More recently, SCS has been observed in photoemission experiments on the quasi-1D cuprate SrCuO$_2$,~\cite{Kim} and in electrostatically gated quantum wires deposited on a 2D electron gas.~\cite{Jompol}

In addition to SCS, LL theory predicts charge fractionalization: when an electron (or hole) wave packet with a given momentum is injected into the system, the wave packet splits into left- and right-moving excitations carrying fractional charges. The charge ratio of these fractional excitations is determined by the correlation exponent $K_\rho$ which completely characterizes the LL and
is defined in terms of the microscopic couplings of the system.~\cite{Giamarchi2004} Charge fractionalization is caused by many-body interactions and the restricted phase space available for scattering in 1D. Indeed, for non-interacting electrons, all the charge moves in one direction, and no fractionalization is expected. Experimentally, charge fractionalization has been observed in quantum wires,~\cite{Steinberg2008} where an imbalance in the currents at the two drains of the wire was detected when an electron with definite momentum was injected in the bulk of the wire.

The basic lattice model used to describe interacting electrons in 1D is the Hubbard Hamiltonian~\cite{Hubbard} which incorporates nearest-neighbor hopping and an on-site Coulomb repulsion. The low-energy properties of this model are well described by the LL theory. Therefore, SCS and charge fractionalization is expected in this model, at least in the long-wavelength limit.~\cite{Gogolin,Giamarchi2004} By resorting to numerical techniques, it has been shown that the SCS persists even beyond the LL regime in finite systems.~\cite{Karen,Ulbricht2009,Jeckelmann,Kollath2005,Julian09,Julian08} Previous studies of the real-time dynamics of wave packets in periodic Hubbard chains~\cite{Karen} showed that the time evolution of charge and spin densities dispersed with different velocities as an immediate consequence of SCS. In strongly correlated models for nanoscopic rings,~\cite{Julian09} numerical calculations of the conductance revealed minima as a function of an applied magnetic flux at fractional values due to SCS. These fractional values correspond to the velocity ratio of spin and charge excitations. The extension of these results to quasi-1D systems has also been considered,~\cite{Julian08} and similar results to the 1D scenario were found. Recent studies on charge fractionalization in the 1D $t$-$J$ model have shown that different fractionalization patterns emerge at higher energy scales.~\cite{Moreno2012}

Studying lattice models beyond the low-energy limit is important because in many materials, electronic interactions fall in the intermediate or strong coupling regimes. In addition, longer range interactions may become relevant leading to new physics with several types of order. Typical materials are ferroelectric perovskites,~\cite{Batlogg88} prototype molecules such as te\-tra\-thia\-ful\-va\-le\-ne-p-chloranil,~\cite{Lemee97} charge transfer organic salts,~\cite{Torrance} organic compounds,~\cite{Rincon09} etc. In this paper, we focus on a simple but interesting extension to the Hubbard model: the addition of nearest-neighbor (NN) repulsion. Such a term gives rise to the so-called extended Hubbard model. This model displays a richer phase diagram~\cite{Voit92,Nakamura00,Jeckelmann2002,Tsuchiizu02,Sandvik04,Batista04,Ejima07,Mund09} and dynamics~\cite{Al-Hassanieh2008, Jeckelmann2000, Bonca2012} than that of the Hubbard model (see discussion below).

Using time-dependent density-matrix renormalization group (tDMRG),~\cite{dmrgreview,tdmrg,Alvarez2011} we study the time-evolution of wave packets created in a 1D extended Hubbard chain with onsite and NN repulsion $U$ and $V$, respectively.
{\it The results show that $V$ enhances spin-charge separation while weakly affecting charge fractionalization}.
The main findings can be summarized as follows. (i) Both charge and spin velocities ($v_c$ and $v_s$, respectively) show non-monotonic dependence on $V$. (ii) For small and intermediate values of $V$, $v_c$ increases faster with $V$ and SCS is enhanced. (iii) The results are qualitatively similar in the weak- (small $U$) and strong-coupling (large $U$) regimes, but the underlying mechanisms are different in the two regimes.

The rest of the paper is organized as follows. Section~\ref{Model} introduces the model and numerical technique. In Sec.~\ref{Strong Coupling} we present a strong-coupling analysis of the model and predict the effect of NN repulsion on SCS. In section~\ref{Weak Coupling} we show the bosonization equations for charge and spin velocities and discuss the effect of $V$ in the weak coupling
limit. In Sec.~\ref{Results} we present the tDMRG results for the time evolution of spin and charge densities. Final remarks and conclusions are given in Sec.~\ref{Conclusions}.

\section{Model And Technique}
\label {Model}

We investigate an open Hubbard chain of $L$ sites with on-site and NN Coulomb repulsion. The extended Hubbard Hamiltonian is given by

\begin{equation}
\begin{split}
H = &-t_h\sum_{i, \sigma} \left(c_{i\sigma}^\dagger c_{i+1\sigma}^{\;} + \textrm{H.c.}\right)
+ U\sum_{i} \left(n_{i\uparrow} - \frac{1}{2}\right) \\
&\times\left(n_{i\downarrow} - \frac{1}{2}\right)+ V\sum_{i}\left(n_i - 1\right)\left(n_{i+1} - 1\right),
\label{ham}
\end{split}
\end{equation}
where $t_h$ is the hopping integral and $U$ and $V$ are the on-site and NN repulsion, respectively. The rest of the notation is standard. At half-filling, the ground state (GS) phase diagram of this model is well understood.~\cite{Voit92,Nakamura00,Jeckelmann2002,Tsuchiizu02,Sandvik04,Batista04,Ejima07,Mund09} Both analytical~\cite{Voit92,Nakamura00,Tsuchiizu02,Batista04} and numerical~\cite{Jeckelmann2002,Sandvik04,Ejima07,Mund09} methods have been used to reveal several nontrivial phases of Eq.~(\ref{ham}). The global phase diagram is as follows. For $V<U/2$, the GS of $H$ is a spin density wave (SDW) with antiferromagnetic (AF) quasi-long-range order. For $V>U/2$, the GS is a charge density wave (CDW) with alternating doubly-occupied and empty sites. For small $U$ and $U\sim V$, an intermediate bond-ordered wave state exists for a narrow range of $V$ at the phase boundary between the SDW and CDW phases.~\cite{Batista04} As the SDW state is doped away from half-filling, the holes introduce anti-phase domain walls in the AF order parameter. Similar behavior is expected for the CDW state upon doping. Hence, for slightly doped chains, the SDW-CDW competition is expected to persist.

In our calculations we use $L=50$ sites close to half-filling. The number of electrons per spin is set to $N_\uparrow = N_\downarrow = 23$. The ground state $|\Psi_0\rangle$ is calculated using static DMRG.~\cite{dmrg} Then, a hole Gaussian wave packet with spin $\sigma$ and average crystal momentum $k_0$ is created in the system by applying the operator
\begin{eqnarray}
h^{\dagger}_{\sigma}(k_0) &=& \sum_j \alpha_j\, e^{ik_0j}\, c_{j\sigma} \nonumber\\
&=& A\sum_j  e^{-(j-j_0)^2/2\sigma_x^2}\, e^{ik_0j}\, c_{j \sigma}
\end{eqnarray}
to $|\Psi_0\rangle$. The coefficients $\alpha_j$ are chosen to generate a Gaussian wave packet centered at site $j_0$ with width $\sigma_x$. The prefactor $A$ is a normalization constant. In momentum space, the wave packet is centered at momentum $k_0$ with width $\sigma_k = 1/\sigma_x$. We use $k_0 = 0.46\pi - 4 \sigma_k$ and $\sigma_k = 0.075$; i.e.~$k_0$ is set close to the Fermi
momentum which lies within the linear dispersion regime.

The excited state $|\Psi_e\rangle = h^{\dagger}_{\uparrow}(k_0) |\Psi_0\rangle$ is time-evolved under $H$: $|\Psi(t)\rangle = e^{-iHt} |\Psi_e\rangle$, where $H$ is given by Eq.~(\ref{ham}). We follow the time evolution of the charge and spin densities $n_i(t) = n_{i\uparrow}(t) + n_{i\downarrow}(t)$ and $s_i(t) = (n_{i\uparrow}(t) - n_{i\downarrow}(t))/2$, respectively, with
\begin{equation}
n_{i\sigma}(t) = \langle \Psi(t)|n_{i\sigma}|\Psi(t)\rangle - \langle \Psi_0 |n_{i\sigma}|\Psi_0\rangle
\end{equation}
 so that in the results shown, the GS expectation values are subtracted from the time-dependent measurements. By performing this subtraction, we avoid characteristic oscillations of the GS of the system. The algorithm implemented for the time-dependent part of DMRG is based on the Krylov space decomposition algorithm. An implementation can be found in Refs.~\onlinecite{Alvarez2009, Alvarez2011}. In the time-evolution  calculations, 600-800 states per block are kept. The results are well converged with this number of states.

\section{Strong Coupling Limit}
\label{Strong Coupling}

We present first an intuitive picture of $H$ in the strong-coupling limit $U\gg t_h$ and predict the effect of $V$ on SCS. For $U\gg t_h$ and $V=0$, the low-energy physics of $H$ is described by an effective $t_h$-$J$ model with AF coupling $J=4t_h^2/U$. The holes
move with hopping $t_h$. In this limit, the charge and spin velocities are determined by the holon and spinon bandwidths, respectively. $v_c \propto t_h$ and $v_s \propto J$ . For finite but small $V$ ($V< U/2$), a qualitatively similar behavior is expected. In order to understand the effect of $V$ quantitatively, we discuss the charge and spin sectors separately.

In the spin sector, it is easy to see that $V$ renormalizes the AF spin coupling to $J = 4t_h^2/(U-V)$. Thus $J$, and consequently $v_s$, increase slowly as $V$ increases in the range $V<U/2$. This is observed in the numerical results. More precisely, using Bethe-ansatz results for the strong-coupling limit,~\cite{Shiba72} we have for the spin excitations velocity
\begin{equation}
v_s = \pi J\left(1-\frac{\sin{4k_F}}{4k_F} \right) \approx \pi J\left(1+\delta \right),
\label{vsSC}
\end{equation}
where we have considered a slightly doped half-filled band with $2k_F = \pi(1-\delta)$, and $\delta \ll 1$ is the density of holes.

The effect of $V$ is more pronounced in the charge sector. We start with the $V=0$ case in which the model can be mapped into the AF $t_h$-$J$ model as described above. To simplify the discussion and in order to focus on the charge sector, we assume that the spin interaction is Ising-like, i.e., we consider a $t_h$-$J_z$ model. This model can be mapped exactly into a spinless fermions model with hopping $t_h$ and NN attraction $J_z/4 = t_h^2/U$.~\cite{Batista2000} The effect of $V$ is easy to see in this model. When $V>0$, the NN interaction between spinless fermions becomes $V-J_z/4 = V-t_h^2/U$. The bosonization analysis of this model gives the charge velocity~\cite{Gogolin,Giamarchi2004}
\begin{equation}
v_c= v_F\sqrt{1+\frac{2}{\pi}\frac{V-t_h^2/U}{v_F}\left(1-\cos{2k_F}\right)},
\end{equation}
where $v_F=2t_h\sin{k_F}$. For a band close to half-filling in the extended Hubbard model $H$, $2k_F = \pi(1-\delta)$. The charge velocity can then be written as
\begin{equation}
v_c \approx v_F \sqrt{1+\frac{2}{\pi}\frac{V-t_h^2/U}{v_F}\left(2-\frac{\pi^2\delta^2}{2}\right)}.
\label{vcSC}
\end{equation}
These equations show that $v_c$ increases with $V$ in the strong-coupling limit faster that the spin velocity $v_s$ shown in Eq.~(\ref{vsSC}).

Based on the above arguments, $v_c$ and $v_s$ have a non-monotonic dependence on $V$ with a maximum around intermediate $V$. SCS is enhanced for small $V \approx 2t_h$.

As expected in this limit, charge fractionalization is small (see text).}
\label{Fig1}
\end{figure}

\section{Weak Coupling Limit}
\label{Weak Coupling}

In the weak coupling limit, $U,V\ll v_F$, we can resort to bosonization formulas for charge and spin velocities in the presence of $U$ and $V$. These couplings give rise to different effective interactions in each sector: $U_c$ and $U_s$.~\cite{Giamarchi2004} The expressions for the velocities are
$v_c = v_F (1+U_c/\pi v_F)^{1/2}$,
and
$v_s = v_F (1-U_s/\pi v_F)^{1/2}$.
The weak-coupling interactions are given by $U_c = U + 2V(1-2\cos(2k_F))$ and $U_s = U + 2V\cos(2k_F)$.

\begin{figure}
\includegraphics*[width=\columnwidth]{FigU2VNe46}
\caption{Charge and spin propagation in the weak-coupling limit ($U = 2t_h$) for different values of $V$. For each $V$, $n_i$ (circles) and $s_i$ (squares) are shown at times $t=0$ and $t=6$. For $V/t_h \le 0.6$, both $v_c$ and $v_s$ increase with $V$ (see Eqs.~(\ref{vsWC}) and (\ref{vcWC})). $v_c$ has a stronger dependence on $V$ and SCS is enhanced (see Eq.~(\ref{vcWC})). Charge fractionalization, on the other hand, is weakly affected by $V$. As $V$ approaches $U/2$, both velocities decrease and SCS is suppressed.}
\label{Fig2}
\end{figure}

Close to half-filling, the equations simplify to
\begin{equation}
v_s \approx v_F\sqrt{1-\frac{U}{\pi v_F}+\frac{2V}{\pi v_F}\left(1-\frac{\pi^2\delta^2}{2}\right)}
\label{vsWC}
\end{equation}
and
\begin{equation}
v_c \approx v_F\sqrt{1+\frac{U}{\pi v_F}+\frac{2V}{\pi v_F}\left(3-\pi^2\delta^2\right) }.
\label{vcWC}
\end{equation}
Thus, the velocities for both excitations increase with $V$ and, as in the case of the strong-coupling limit, they are only slightly affected by doping effects. SCS is then enhanced for small $V$. For the large $V$ regime, the ground state exhibits CDW, and SCS is suppressed as in the strong-coupling limit (see below).

\section{Results}
\label{Results}

\begin{figure}
\includegraphics*[width=\columnwidth]{FigU8V0Ne46}
\caption{Charge (circles) and spin (squares) densities in the strong-coupling limit ($U = 8t_h$ and $V=0$). The wave packet, with charge and spin, is created at $t=0$ centered at $j_0=30$. SCS and charge fractionalization are observed before $t=3$. The spin velocity is much smaller than that of the charge. Note that the spin excitation is almost completely localized (see Eqs.~(\ref{vsSC}) and (\ref{vcSC}) with $V=0$). Charge fractionalization is stronger than in the weak-coupling case and it approaches the behavior expected for the strong-coupling regime (see text).}
\label{Fig3}
\end{figure}

Figure~\ref{Fig1} shows snapshots of $n_i$ and $s_i$ for $U/t_h=2$ and $V=0$ at different times. At $t=0$, a wave packet with charge and spin, is created centered at $j_0=30$. The spin and charge move in the same direction but at different velocities (see Eqs.~(\ref{vsWC}) and (\ref{vcWC}) with $V=0$). SCS and charge fractionalization, as predicted by the LL theory, are evident starting at $t=3$. The charge splits into left- and right-moving packets. Note, however, that the fractionalization is small and most of the charge moves to the left, as expected for small $U$. LL theory predicts  that charge fractionalizes according to the formula $q = q_L + q_R$ where $q_L=q(1+K_\rho)/2$ and $q_R=q(1-K_\rho)/2$ are the left- and right-moving charges, respectively, and $K_\rho=(1+U/\pi v_F)^{-1/2}$ is the LL parameter. For small $U$, $K_\rho \approx 0.87$ and most of the charge moves in one direction. Using Eqs.~(\ref{vsWC}) and (\ref{vcWC}), the ratio of the velocities in this limit is $v_c/v_s \approx 1+U/\pi v_F \agt 1$ in agreement with the
numerical results in Fig.~\ref{Fig1}.

Figure~\ref{Fig2} shows the results for $U/t_h = 2$ and different values of $V$. For each $V$, $n_i$ and $s_i$ are shown at times $t=0$ and $t=6$. For $V/t_h \le 0.6$, both $v_c$ and $v_s$ increase with $V$ as predicted by the weak-coupling analysis based on field-theoretical formulas of Sec.~\ref{Weak Coupling}. Note, however, that $v_c$ has a stronger dependence on $V$ than $v_s$ and SCS is enhanced as shown by Eqs.~(\ref{vsWC}) and (\ref{vcWC}). Indeed, the ratio $v_c/v_s \approx 1+(U+2V)/\pi v_F$ shows explicitly an increase of the SCS in the weak-coupling regime. It is interesting to point out that, in spite of the effect on SCS, the charge
fractionalization is weakly affected by $V$. This trend can be explained by looking at the bosonization equations for $q_L$ and $q_R$. In this regime and for the half-filled case, $K_\rho = \left[1+(U+6V)/\pi v_F\right]^{-1/2}$. For $U = 2t_h$, the numerical value, obtained from $K_\rho$, of the left-moving charge fraction is $q_L/q \approx 0.94$ for $V=0$. This fraction decreases slightly to $q_L/q \approx 0.85$ for $V=0.8t_h$.

\begin{figure}
\includegraphics*[width=\columnwidth]{FigU8VNe46}
\caption{Charge and spin densities, $n_i$ (circles) and $s_i$ (squares) for large $U$, $U=8t_h$, and different values of $V$. For each $V$, the results are shown at $t=0$ and $t=5$. The spin velocity is small and increases slowly with $V$ as shown by Eq.~(\ref{vsSC}). On the other hand, the charge velocity exhibits a strong dependence on $V$, see Eq.~(\ref{vcSC}). Note that increasing $V$ from 0 to $2t_h$ leads to a substantial enhancement of the SCS. The charge fractionalization, however, is weakly affected.}
\label{Fig4}
\end{figure}

The results for large $U$, more specifically $U=8t_h$ and $V=0$, are shown in Fig.~\ref{Fig3}. SCS and charge fractionalization are observed in the strong-coupling limit as well. This is shown in snapshots starting at $t=3$. The spin velocity is much smaller than that of the charge, as shown by Eqs.~(\ref{vsSC}) and (\ref{vcSC}). SCS is clearly seen at even earlier times. In the strong-coupling limit this may be related to the velocity ratio $v_c/v_s \approx t_h/J \gg 1$, which is remarkably larger than in the weak-coupling case. Charge fractionalization is also more pronounced in this limit. The left- and right-moving charge fractions are comparable. In other words, the charge splits into almost equal fractions moving in opposite directions. In the limit $U/\pi v_F\gg 1$ and close to half-filling, as in this case, the relevant low-energy physics is dictated by the motion and effective interaction of holes. A crossover in the correlations of these holes between power-law and long-range behavior is expected depending on the energy scale. This crossover is associated with the opening of a gap in the charge sector at half-filling. If the correlations are long-ranged, one expects an effective correlation exponent close to zero giving rise to an almost even charge fractionalization (see Eq.~(3.10) in Ref.~\onlinecite{Schulz94}).

Figure~\ref{Fig4} shows the charge and spin densities, $n_i$ and $s_i$ for the strong-coupling limit ($U=8t_h$) and different values of $V$. For each $V$, the results are shown at $t=0$ and $t=5$. The spin velocity is small and increases slowly with $V$ in agreement with Eq.~(\ref{vsSC}). The charge velocity also increases with $V$ displaying a stronger dependence than that of $v_s$. This is in agreement with the strong-coupling analysis presented in Sec.~\ref{Strong Coupling} (see Eq.~(\ref{vcSC})). As a consequence of this strong dependence on the NN repulsion, SCS is therefore enhanced. The velocity ratio of the excitations is $v_c/v_s \approx (v_F/\pi J)(1+2V/\pi v_F)$ leading to a substantial increase of the SCS. The charge fractionalization, however, is very weakly affected as can be expected from the value of the correlation exponent for the spinless fermions model, $K_\rho \approx [1+ \frac{2}{\pi}\frac{V-t^2_h/U}{v_F}(2-\frac{\pi^2\delta^2}{2})]^{-1/2}$. This equation is derived using the same reasoning as in Sec. \ref{Strong Coupling}.

For the large $V$ limit, the CDW fluctuations become dominant. In the half-filling regime and for $V>U/2$, the ground state is a band insulator with alternating empty and doubly-occupied sites. As expected for band insulators, SCS is suppressed. An electron (or hole) added in the system moves with an effective hopping $\tilde t \propto t_h^2/(V-U/2)$. In this regime, $v_c \approx v_s$ and both velocities are proportional to $\tilde t$. This has been observed in the numerics (not shown) for large $V$.

It is also worthwhile to point out that the presented results can be extended to models with a similar GS phase diagram such as the Hubbard model with an ionic potential $\Delta$.~\cite{Tincani} This model at half-filling also exhibits an SDW for $U>\Delta$ where SCS and charge fractionalization are expected. For $U<\Delta$, a CDW develops and therefore there is no SCS or fractionalization. In the vicinity of $U\sim\Delta$, the system shows a spin dimerized phase similar to the bond-ordered phase of the extended Hubbard model.

\section{Conclusions}
\label{Conclusions}

Using tDMRG, we have studied the spin-charge separation in the extended Hubbard model focusing on the effect of nearest-neighbor repulsion. The excitation, introduced in the system by creating a Gaussian wave-packet, carries charge and spin.
We have studied both the weak- and strong-coupling regimes. In both regimes, the effect of $V$ is to enhance spin-charge separation
tendencies. For small and intermediate $V$, both spin and charge velocities increase with $V$, but charge velocity has a stronger dependence, and spin-charge separation is more pronounced. As $V$ is increased further, and the ground state approaches the CDW regime, the ratio of the velocities $v_c/v_s\sim 1$ and spin-charge separation and charge fractionalization are suppressed.

Notwithstanding the qualitative similarity between results in the weak- and strong-coupling regimes, their explanations differ. The results in the weak-coupling regime can be explained using bosonization equations. In the strong-coupling regime, on the other hand, the results are better understood by mapping the Hamiltonian into an effective low-energy model, and studying the spin and charge sectors independently. Our numerical results also show that spin-charge separation goes beyond the asymptotically low-energy theory of LLs for the extended Hubbard model. We would like to remark the weak effect of $V$ on charge fractionalization. Both in the weak- and strong-coupling regimes, charge fractionalization increases only slightly as $V$ increases. Similar results (not shown here) are obtained in the intermediate coupling regime, $U \approx 4t_h$.

tDMRG should enable future work extending the present study to include more complicated geometries and systems, such as ladders, multiorbital models,\cite{Onishi} and materials with
strong electron-phonon coupling.

Study: Autoimmune Conditions More Likely in Adults Diagnosed With Type 1 Diabetes
By Sysy Morales
Medscape Medical News has reported on new study findings which reveal that the risk of having additional autoimmune conditions is much higher in those diagnosed with type 1 diabetes as adults.
These study findings were presented at the ENDO 2018: The Endocrine Society Annual Meeting by Yicheng Bao, a medical student at the University of Missouri–Kansas City (UMKC) School of Medicine.
Bao told Medscape that healthcare providers should know that more than one autoimmune disease can develop in those with type 1 diabetes and that those diagnosed with type 1 as adults are more at risk.
Diabetes Daily recently wrote about a study which found that half of type 1 diabetes diagnosis occurs after age 30. The study also found that those diagnosed in adulthood are often initially diagnosed with type 2 diabetes.
Could this mean that half of all individuals diagnosed with type 1 diabetes are at a substantially higher risk for additional autoimmune conditions?
The research involved 1167 adults (89% white, 52% female) with type 1 diabetes. Those diagnosed after age 40 had double the risk for 1 or more autoimmune conditions compared to those diagnosed as children.
Women Diagnosed With Type 1 Later in Life at Highest Risk
The mean age of the study subjects was 46.9 years, and the mean age of type 1 diabetes diagnosis was 21.3 years. In 12% of the participants, diabetes diagnosis occurred between age 31 and 40 and 11.6% were diagnosed after age 41.
In 35.7% of the participants, researchers state that one or more autoimmune conditions were present. One or more autoimmune conditions were present in 47% of women and only 24% of men, however.
The mean age of type 1 diabetes diagnosis was 20.1 years in the individuals with no other autoimmune conditions while the mean age was 23.3 years in those with 1 or more autoimmune conditions.
Surprisingly, the mean age of type 1 diabetes continued rising in tandem with the number of additional autoimmune diagnosis, "up to 32.3 years for those with 4 or more autoimmune conditions," writes Medscape.
According to "multivariate analysis, the risk for developing additional autoimmune conditions was more than double for those with type 1 diabetes onset after age 40 years compared with onset at ten years or younger". Women over 60 with type 1 diabetes had an over 60% chance of developing at least one additional autoimmune condition while by sharp contrast, the risk was only 33% in men over 60 and 27% in women under 29.
Healthcare Providers May Screen Type 1s Diagnosed as Adults
Bao, whose team tested for 29 autoimmune conditions, told Medscape that it was interesting how the overwhelming majority of additional autoimmune conditions developed in adulthood after type 1 diabetes diagnosis.
The mean age of diagnosis for Crohn's disease and psoriasis was in the 20s. Lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, and pernicious anemia had a median age of 40-50 years, and other autoimmune conditions had a mean diagnosis age in the 30s.
In light of this news, healthcare providers may begin screening and paying closer attention to the symptoms in those individuals, especially women, who become diagnosed with type 1 diabetes in adulthood. Type 1 diabetes diagnosed in adulthood is also known as latent autoimmune diabetes in adults (LADA).

Q: back button without calling finish() or onBackPressed() I want to create a button to go back to the previous activity,
but if I use the methods "finish()" or "onBackPressed()" in the "onclick" event, each time I press the button I have the message from the system
"unfortunately, activity has stopped". Is there an alternative way to introduce a back button, without showing messages such as this which could be taken for message errors from the user?
Here is my xml for the button:
<Button
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_weight=".2"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:text="back"
    android:id="@+id/back"
    android:onClick="onBackPressed"
    />

No more code is needed, because the onBackPressed already exists in the library.

A: If the same activity always starts your current one, just hard code it...
Intent myIntent = new Intent(CurrentActivity.this, PreviousActivity.class);
CurrentActivity.this.startActivity(myIntent);

Otherwise you can pass extras in your intents to let you know, and then make a conditional method to start the correct one. Also I'd write all your button code in your java files, but that's more a personal preference I guess.
//global declaration
Button GameButton;

//onCreate
GameButton = (Button)findViewById(R.id.GameButton);
GameButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {
            //your code
        }
    });

Bitcoins Displaces Dollar in 2021 . . . A Major Tipping Point for the 99%
By Micha L. Rieser (Own work) [CC-BY-SA-3.0 (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0)], via Wikimedia Commons
I have just arranged a holiday abroad. To help with my decision making I went on a virtual trip to look around the place, courtesy of Google, investigating the towns, restaurants (plus their menus!) and places of interest that are 1700 miles and 4 hours flying time away. I also had a video call to the owner of the place where we are staying to fine tune transfers and other 'hygiene' details.
The internet has changed forever the way we live our lives from just 10 short years ago, as it lifts the veils of distance and communication that, for millennia, have kept the world outside our own immediate vicinity a mystery. This is truly evolution at work, as we recognise and adopt this new world, lacking any desire to return to what existed before.
In the same way that human ingenuity has enabled our computers to 'talk to and see' each other through the wonder of Skype, and at little or no cost, so that same ingenuity has enabled us to create our own money. 'Cryptocurrency' is the jargon for this phenomenon and it has taken off across the Planet as people, and now growing numbers of corporations, adopt it as a means of trading.
What the banks have turned into an international monopoly is now under threat, causing serious concerns to no less an august body than the Federal Reserve. A recently alleged Whistleblower post on Reddit* stated that Fed governors are 'highly alarmed' that Bitcoins has the potential to completely displace the dollar as early as 2021. The cause for concern obviously being that this vast technological monetary system will leave the Fed, US government and 'other entities' with much less control over our species.
So concerned are the Fed that, according to the Whistleblower, they commissioned in depth modelling projections of the growth of Bitcoins which showed a tipping point of dominance by between 2021 and 2026. The completed report was then poured over for three days, as a 'highly alarmed' Board of Governors sought to understand every nuance of how this could happen. Why such alarm. Well, we are not just talking about healthy competition for existing business but something of far greater importance and significance . . . who runs this Planet!
Whilst there is much doubt and controversy surrounding a famous quotation allegedly from Nathan Rothschild "The man who controls Britain's money supply controls the British Empire, and I control the British money supply" the sentiment is profound, as has been born out since with a world now held to ransom by incalculable volumes of debt.
It is understandable therefore that there is a sustained attack upon the viability and credibility of this aspiring money supply. Its viability, I would suggest, has already been established and hence the concern. Its credibility also has much to be lauded and encouraged as accusations made by the banks, that it is the haven for criminals, ironically mirror back the activities of those same banks. Stories abound of bank branches taken over by the Mafia to launder their elicit gains. And let us not forget that whilst Bitcoins produces money from thin air, in exactly the same way our banks do, they do it at a fraction of the cost!
I would also argue that Bitcoins operates in a similar fashion to Amazon, EBay and other trading platforms, where the integrity of the users is constantly under scrutiny by the other users. Any abuses can be quickly identified and acted upon by exclusion from 'the club'. Whilst there may be abuses by users, abuse by the purveyors of the service is scant compared to what we have experienced with our current baking system. Over the last decade this abuse has led to a severely impaired monetary system now awash with debt.
I believe so much more is at stake here, as what has become the greatest oppressor of Society is now challenged by the new world of technology. Imagine a world in which we each create our own money and trade with each other in an environment of integrity, where any devious practices are given short shrift because everything is so transparent, as it is with EBay etc. With the current momentum of our evolutionary progress it could happen within 5 short years. Again look at what has happened in the last 10 years!
Above all else I make an impassioned plea now to all users of social networks, voters and consumers. Don't be swayed by the broadsides of the banks as they try to shoot this competition out of the water. Whatever they accuse Bitcoins and the like of, they are either guilty or capable of themselves and something they have proved conclusively over recent years. They could well start their own version of Bitcoins and it would then be up to us to decide if there is sufficient credibility there to support a new venture by the current banking system.
For my part I believe we are seeing a major and fundamental tipping point here that will free Society from an oppression it has endured for too many years now. We owe it to ourselves to believe in our new found skills and make that leap of faith that will empower us to produce and support our own currencies for our own benefit. What an exciting challenge, what an exciting future, recognising we will not be returning to the past.
Until the next time
