Hardwick Hall, the home of the fabulous Bess of Hardwick, is a Tudor gem of a house. It was built between 1590 and 1597 to create a house fit for a lady of Bess' wealth and status. Bess started building the house right next to the Old Hall, where she was born and raised. Parts of the Old Hall still stand today and Bess used both houses at the same time for many years. When her fourth and final husband died in 1590 she was one of the richest widows in the country and in charge of a young girl with a genuine claim to the throne. Her house would reflect her status and power.
I wrote 2 blog posts about my visit to Hardwick, one about Bess and the one you are currently reading about the house.
Robert Smythson
For Hardwick Hall Bess called in the services of one of the most well-known Tudor architects of its day: Robert Smythson (1535 – 1614) (also known for Wollaton Hall and Longleat House. He and his son John Smythson would also work for Bess' grandchildren at Bolsover Castle and Welbeck Abbey). The profession of architect did not really exist in these days; he was classed as a (royal) master mason with a knack for architectural designs but nowadays celebrated as the first 'proper' architect in England. How involved he was with Hardwick is not clear but we can assume that Bess had a hand in the design and decoration of the place. The house itself, however, recalls earlier houses by Smythson such as Wollaton Hall and the now destroyed Worksop Manor. Smythson clearly knew the work of the influential Italian architectural theorist Sebastiano Serlio (translated in English in 1611 by royal portrait painter Robert Peake, but in great circulation all over Europe in Flemish, German, French and Italian soon after its publication in 1486). The strap-work in the design of Hardwick Hall can be found in Smythson's earlier houses as well as Serlio's book on architecture. The fireplace in the long gallery at Hardwick Hall is also based on a design by Serlio. The design for Hardwick Hall shows the influence of continental classical architecture and was hugely influential in later architectural styles in England.

A Show of Power
The house was intended to show off Bess' wealth and power in a conspicuous way: her initials and coat of arms are everywhere. It has one of the largest Long Galleries in England at 166 feet (50m). The Great Chamber on the top floor is a very impressive and beautiful room, if only because of its sheer scale. The ceiling is 25 feet high (7.6m). The huge windows add to the impression of grandness, the whole room seems oversized making a visitor feel small. Hardwick Hall showed off everything that was in fashion at the time: symmetry and large windows. Glass was very expensive so having large windows was yet another means to show off your wealth and therefore status.
Interior design of house
Hardwick's plan is a rectangular block with 6 towers around it. Its symmetrical and exciting design, its huge windows, as well as its setting make it a spectacular looking house. The state rooms are on the second floor. Each floor had higher ceilings than the floor below, rising up with the importance of the rooms. At the top floor the ceilings are the highest at 25 feet,/7.6m. The ground floor houses the kitchens, nursery and chapel. The first floor is were Bess' private rooms were located. Tapestries (mostly woven in Flanders but purchased in England) and embroideries covered most of the rooms, there is elaborate plasterwork and marble (from Bess's own quarries in Derbyshire) and furniture was decorated with embroidery and pearls.
Smythson designed much of the exterior but it is not clear how involved he was in the interior. It seems Bess and her master craftsman John Balechouse worked together on the interior. The tapestries for the Long Gallery were bought by Bess in 1592, they are extremely high at 19 feet/ 5.8 meter. They were bought from the Lord Chancellor, Sir Christopher Hatton, who commissioned them for his house at Holdenby in Northamptonshire but had to sell them to pay off his debts. They bore his arms which Bess had corrected economically by covering them with pieces of painted wool – with Bess' arms on it.
The Long Gallery
The Great Chamber
Bess had to furnish the Old Hall, New Hall and Chatworth at roughly the same time in her life; well over 200 rooms. Tapestries were more expensive than panelling or any woodwork but quicker to get up and ready as they were purchased ready-made. Bess used both tapestries as well as panelling for her houses, but there were a spectacular amount of tapestries put into the house. Hardwick Hall is now home to one of the most important and largest collection of Tudor needlework and tapestries in the country. One example being the large needlework hanging 'Virtuous Women' representing Penelope, Lucretia, Zenobia and Artemesia in silk, satin, cloth of gold and velvet.An interesting side note relating to lace is that Bess purchased bobbins and gold and silver thread for lace making. The references in her account book are the earliest referring to bobbin lace in England (1548-50). More referrals can be found to gold and silver thread and lace in the account books of the time. Lace was very rare in the mid-16th century and would only gain popularity and develop further around the turn of the century (see this blog post about its early development). It is a shame that I found no lace on display in the house, even though they do have some in their collection.

National Trust presentation
Although I love the National Trust and what it stands for, in important houses like this I find it a shame that they provide so little information about the house, the paintings, the designs etc. There are some boards in the rooms with very general information (often not even related to the room they're in). The paintings have numbers (thankfully) which you can look up in a simple painting list. But there's not much info besides that. The bookshop also offers very little besides their small visitor guide. And surely there is so much to tell. Where is the plaque telling me why the servants hall is so special, explaining why it is right next to the entrance, who made the tapestries and what do they represent and why are they hanging in the servants hall? There was a leaflet about the 'adult themes' in the tapestries, but no information about these stunning tapestries in general or what they represented (most were not adult themed anyway). The same can be said about the stunning long gallery. Where is the big wall plaque explaining what a gallery was used for in Tudor times, telling us more about the tapestries, the beautiful plaster frieze, the matting on the floor and the portraits on the wall (which can tell a story of intrigue, love and politics all by themselves).
Oh look who's there. A large mirror in the Long Gallery gave me the chance to get every tourist's highlight: a selfie
Then, strangely and suddenly, at the end of the route which takes you through Bess' house, you end up in Lady Evelyn's rooms and things are left as they were in the early 20th century. The transition from an engrossing Tudor story into the 20th century is strange and unwelcome. This is Bess' House. Yes I know others have lived here but we all came to visit it because it is Bess'. Who is Lady Evelyn anyway? Oh I don't want to know, I don't want to step out of my tudor dream. I quickly leave and wander into the garden to pretend to be Arbella going for a stroll.
Seeing the magnificent exterior and the grand hall and gallery were worth the 300 mile round journey alone. It is true Tudor splendour rarely seen in any other house of the same era. Bess of Hardwick is the ancestor of pretty much every royal, aristocrat and politician in this country so her main home should, and is, the pinnacle of English cultural history. Her story is very inspirational as are the many stories spinning off her, such as the family lines of the Devonshires and the Newcastles amongst others. She is at least as interesting as Elizabeth when you are looking for women in the Tudor era and her house brings her and her time to life.
Bess is of particular interest to me as she is the grandmother of William Cavendish, 1st Duke of Newcastle, who would live only a few miles away at Welbeck Abbey. Portraits of Bess and Arbella can be found at the Abbey amongst a huge art collection that was started by William in the early 17th century and, who knows, perhaps some pieces came from Bess herself. I am working on a series of paintings which are inspired by this art collection and the culture that helped create it in the 16th and 17th centuries. Enveloping myself into Bess' world gave me plenty of inspiration and I left Hardwick Hall with a mind full of tapestries, needlework, rich colours and patterns, silk and velvet.

... says:
I think you're a little harsh to Lady Evelyn as it is partly thanks to her that a portion of the tapestries were kept in good condition as she was passionate about Hardwick Hall while Bess's other descendants preferred Chatsworth.
The water color painting of the Duchess Evelyn shows her engrossed in repairing a tapestry and she has quite an interesting story.
She would always welcome visitors until the National Trust took over although she stayed living there, and it's said she didn't greet visitors after that. She was the last person to live at Hardwick Hall though and it's partly thanks to her that Hardwick Hall escaped many modernization and also due to the fact that other descendants used Hardwick as a secondary home.
Hello, thank you for your comment. I suppose I am a little harsh and I cannot possibly blame Lady Evelyn for it! In fact it sounds like it is because of her I can come and visit Bess. Still it is Bess I came to see….

'It's saved my life': Nampa veteran walks across America to bring hope to others suffering from PTSD
After several attempts at taking his own life, Jeremy Miller decided to make a drastic change - by helping others realize that hope, and help, is available.
Author: Tyson Miller, Kevin Eslinger
Each day, nearly two-dozen U.S. military veterans die by suicide.
According to the latest data from the Department of Veterans Affairs, in 2017 there were 6,139 veteran deaths attributed to suicide - about 100 more than the year before.
Jeremy Miller almost added himself those stats last year. After serving eight years in the Army, including a tour to Iraq in 2011, Miller tried to take his own life several times.
He has known fellow veterans who have died by suicide as a result of PTSD -- post-traumatic stress.
"It's the battle back home nobody thinks about, and it's the most painful battle, too, because you lose a lot of self worth," Miller said. "And PTSD just drains you. Half the time you're afraid to go to sleep because you're afraid of the nightmares flashbacks."
In April 2019, he planned to drive his car off a cliff at Swan Falls, but ultimately decided not to.
"My son basically popped into my head, and I was like 'I gotta do something different,'" he said.
RELATED: 3-digit suicide hotline now available in Idaho
It was at that moment that Miller decided to make a drastic change.
"You know I need to do something," he said. "One, to save my life so I can be here for my son, and two, to help others and hopefully show them that there's a there's a different path in life than trying to take your own life."
He did so by taking his cause across the country, literally. He founded Walk Across America and, a couple weeks later, he started his cross-country trek in California.
"The stuff that I noticed as I was walking across United States the most was how amazing people are," he said. "It has completely restored my faith in humanity, me being able to actually walk and meet people.
"I got to talk to so many people and realize that there's so much good in this world still that people just don't take the time to see anymore," he said.

Nampa veteran Jeremy Miller covered more than 3,600 miles as he walked across America to raise awareness of PTSD and veteran suicide.
Miller's 3,600-mile journey took him about seven months to complete, and ended last month at Arlington National Cemetery in Virginia.
"I wanted to stop at Arlington National Cemetery because it's the most hallowed ground in United States, it's where a lot of brothers and sisters are buried," he said.
His young son was there with him as finished his long journey.
"I carried him on my shoulders across the finish line," Miller said. "That was probably the best part about my whole journey, was having having him finish such a long and meaningful journey with me."
Miller's message to fellow veterans who may be suffering from PTSD is a simple one:
"The biggest thing I hope people take away from my journey is that there's hope out there for everybody," he said.
"It is giving me purpose and I think, really, it's saved my life," he added.
If you or someone you know is in crisis, help is available. Please reach out to the Idaho Suicide Prevention Hotline, either by calling 2-1-1 or by directly calling or texting the Idaho Suicide Prevention Hotline at 208-398-4357.

Q: Get data from an API to my server every minute Here's an API server which can give me real time news: every minute there will be something new to retrieve. There's also my web page, with a Javascript that will ask the API to get some news once every minute.
And this is not fine... unless my web page is made for a single user and will be open only on one machine at a time (which is not the case of the internet). the API, infact, restricts the number of call I can do per minute: let's suppose the API will ban me if I do more than 1 call per minute. If 100 users will load my web page, the API will receive 100 calls per minute (!!!).
Since the flow is my web page >> calls >> the API I think there is no solution without inserting another node which lazy loads from the api server.
my web page >> calls >> my server >> calls every minute >> the API
Since the instances of my web page may be many while my server is just one I think this is the solution.
However, I have no idea if:
a) is this the correct solution? Or could I somehow get my web page to behave correctly without the need of an intermediary server?
b) how can I implement this in ASP.NET MVC4? Is there any support for server side timers?
c) even if I can get IIS to retrieve the data every minute, should I then store it in a database to serve it to my web page?
d) the api server I'm talking about is The Times Newswire API. If anyone ever used a similar API, did you really created a domain model, a database table, a service and a routine just to retrieve data from it or did you just writed some javascript code in my web page? What then if you have milions of users?

A: You can use SignalR for this purpose, This is a push service which works by using sockets and therefore can be configured to send out one message to 1,000,000 listeners (or more obviously).
I've used this to great effect when creating a little prototype game last year and found it to be very reliable. You can use NuGet to grab the package in vs2010 and vs2012.
see Asp.net SignalR, see examples or simply google SignalR and you'll find a host of examples.

A:
the API will ban me if I do more than 1 call per minute

Then you need a solution that calls the API for you every minute and stores it on your server. There's tons of ways of doing this, depending on many requirements. You can even go as far as writing a static HTML file which you then show the client.

A: You should call the API from your serverside. Fetch it one time every minute to your database. Then serve it to the users from your database via in example a restful service. ASP.NET MVC 4 can make all of this.
Also yes it do have a timer. You can check out Timer class.
You don't have to struggle with API restricts with this solution.

A: A) The best solution is probably to use your web server as an intermediate to the API
B) There are a lot of possibilities to choose from. The easiest would be starting a new thread when the web application starts (i.e in the Global.asax OnApplicationStarted event), and have that thread poll the external API and store the result for your clients to fetch. Another options, if you want full control of the lifecycle of this background procces, would be to create a windows service and host for instance a WebAPI in it that you clients can connect to.
Of course, these are just suggestions.
C) Depends on whether you want your clients to be able to access the latest fetch data, even if the background process has failed and the data is old. Otherwise, you can just store it in a static field somewhere. As long as the application isn't terminated the static field persists its value.

Q: How to apply JQuery unveil on dynamically added elements I am using JQuery unveil to show images and for the static images the code is working well. But as we know, the unveil event triggers on scroll. For the image that is added dynamically, the loader image doesn't get replaced by the actual image ( in fact, the event does not get triggered).
function replaceResumeImage () {
  setTimeout(function () {
    $('.fusion-layout-column-modified .lib-res-image.unveilimg').unveil(400, function () {
      $(this).load(function () {

In any case, what is being said this blog post is very important and I simply had to share it.
Ever experienced being told that you're crazy because one of your relatives is? Or having your family name associated with that crazy relative's craziness as if one relative's actions represented the collective character of the family?
What about being profiled as a mugger, a lazy worker, or a parasitic immigrant because you're the same colour or eye shape as that mugger, lazy worker, or parasitic immigrant from the other side of town?
That's how it feels when anti-theists throw around the word 'religion' when they mean a specific religion (often, Christianity or Islam) or a specific strain of religion within that specific religion (like Evangelical Protestants or Wahhabists).
I am Agathokles Martinios, you may remember me from the blog "A Young Flemish Hellenist" which I deleted quite a while ago. I have been struggling with some personal issues that I may or may not discuss at a later time, but the main thing is that I feel like starting a blog again. When I deleted my old blog I didn't save anything. That stuff is all gone, except maybe if someone out there has saved blog posts off mine offline. No matter, this is a new blog, and it deserves new content. Having said that, I will likely address some of the same issues that I did back in the day, but the actual blog post will be wholly new, written from scratch.
Now that that's out of the way, let me start by introducing myself, and state my intentions for this blog. As you can surmise from this blog's name, I'm a polytheist, and my pseudonymous surname and the name of my old blog should tell you I am a Hellenic polytheist. This means that I worship many Gods, mainly the Hellenic Gods, through a Hellenic worldview and ritual structure. I am also a cisgender, homosexual, male Fleming, who lives in Flanders, which is northern Belgium.
As for this blog, like the name says, it's going to be a bunch of stuff on various subjects, whatever strikes my fancy at the time. While a lot of stuff is going to concern Hellenic polytheism, I may also post things about non-Hellenic Gods that I find interesting, about general polytheism and the issues it faces, some personal things maybe, book reviews that are relevant to Hellenic polytheism, or polytheism in general, etc.


← I don't promise to pay the bearer on demand… but we'll give you two fives for a ten!
Let's see if you have taken on board some of the things I've been writing about recently.
In a way, life is simple for us currency users. We have to spend less than our income or we'll end up in trouble eventually. We've all had experience of being a user but we can only imagine what it is like to be an issuer.
1) Lets start off with an economy with little unemployment and low inflation. Its working as close to full capacity as is possible. The economy exports and imports in exactly equal amounts. The companies and individuals in the economy save and de-save (withdraw their savings) in exactly equal amounts too.
2) Suppose a healthy industry grows up and the country starts exporting more than it imports. Say its 7% of GDP more. Money flows in as exports are paid for from overseas. The private sector still save and de-save in equal amounts. The industry owners successfully lobby the government to not let the currency rise. They don't want their export prices to rise.
Now what is the correct course of action for government?
A, B, or C ?
4) The country's industry is overtaken by foreign competition. The external surplus disappears. It is back to an exactly even situation. Imports = Exports. Companies and individuals continue to net save at the rate of 7%. The government resolve to keep the currency stable.
What is our correct course of action?
The government, ( that's us!) still resolve to keep the currency stable.
6) What happens when governments, as they do, choose the wrong answer?
The answers are in a comment below! You are welcome to comment too if you disagree.
This entry was posted in MMT General and tagged Borrowings and Lendings, Chartalism, Currency, MMT, Modern Monetary Theory, Post-Keynesian economics, Quantitative Easing. Bookmark the permalink.
1) 'A'. Balanced Budget. If we run a deficit we'll risk inflation. If we run a surplus we'll take money from the economy and run it into recession.
2) 'C' The government needs to run a surplus. This removes the excess liquidity from the economy. The government uses the proceeds of that surplus to purchase treasury security bonds from its trading partners which are in deficit. This keeps the currency from rising and the currency of the deficit country falling. It effectively lends them back their money so they can carry on being good customers!
3) 'A' Back to a balanced budget. The saving by the private sector has removed the excess liquidity. The government needs to supervise the process of the private sector buying the bonds from trading partners in deficit. This is pretty much Germany's position right now.
4) 'B' The Government need to run a 7% deficit to accommodate the desire of the private sector to net save. It effectively borrows its savings, by issuing bonds to commercial banks in exchange for the cash, and recycles it back into the economy via deficit spending.
5) 'B' Again a 7% deficit is needed. 3% of which is to cover the external deficit. 4% of which is to cover the desire of the private sector to net save. Treasury securities are sold to trading partners which are in surplus and to commercial banks which hold the accounts of the savers. This is pretty much the UK's position right now.
6) If a Governments chooses to run a balanced budget when it should be running a surplus it will end up with high inflation. If it does that when it should be running a deficit then a recession and high unemployment will result.
In every economy there are automatic stabilisers at work which will try to prevent this happening. So for example if the economy requires the government to run a surplus, and it cuts taxes, that will boost the economy and lead to even greater tax revenue and the surplus still remains.
Conversely if it cuts spending and raise taxes to try to achieve a balanced budget revenue will fall and the deficit remains.
However, if the Government is brutal enough in its actions it can overcome the stabilisers and seriously crash the economy!
Yep, all 6 right! Except I wasn't sure what you meant by "do we need to do anything else" until I'd taken a quick peek at one of your answers.
They are a lot easier than Bill Mitchell's quiz questions. Have you tried them?
However, highly paid economists and politicians still don't get it. That is very strange.

Doctors always recommend professional screenings for cancerous moles. It is certainly a good idea for you to perform DIY screenings as well. The important thing is to report a suspicious mole so that it can be diagnosed as soon as possible. If you happen to haveskin cancer, the timelier the treatment is the higher the chances for curing the condition are.
The first job of the doctor is to inspect the suspicious mole along with all other ones on your body. This preliminary screening is necessary to identify all potentially dangerous growths. The dermatologist will use the established criteria for pinpointing moles that may lead to skin cancer. These skin growths are typically characterized by asymmetry, irregular borders, uneven colour, diameter of more then 6 millimetres and noticeable changes in their size, structure and colour. An experienced specialist will recognize dangerous growths even if they do not meet these criteria fully. Skin biopsy is the only diagnosis procedure which can confirm the presence of skin cancer. It involves the removal of a sample of the mole's tissue which is then transferred to a laboratory where a pathologist examines it under a microscope. Skin biopsy is an invasive procedure and it is done under local anaesthesia. The doctor will also examine the lymph nodes to see whether they are swollen and whether they show signs of cancer. A blood test may be done as well. If the patient is diagnosed with skin cancer, the doctor will carry out further tests to check whether it has spread to other systems and organs and determine its stage.
There are effective ways to prevent the growth of cancerous moles. These do not appear all of a sudden. Before a mole becomes cancerous, it is dysplastic first. A dermatologist should be able to identify dysplastic skin growths during screening and monitor them over time. The reality is that most of these growths never become cancer. However, if one begins to turn into a cancerous growth, the dermatologist will identify it timely and carry out the required treatment to prevent cancer effectively. It is important to be aware of your individual melanoma risk. It is higher for people with a lot of moles, for those exposed to ultraviolet radiation frequently and for those with family history of the condition. Those individuals should have screenings for cancerous moles more often than others. In some cases, dermatologists can recommend skin exams every six and even every four months.

Buhari to release N600 billion for capital expenditure in 3 months
thenewspanorama 1st October 2019	0 Comments
President Muhammadu Buhari has disclosed that his administration would release the sum of N600 billion for Capital Expenditure between October and December 2019.
The President, who revealed this during his 59th Independence Day speech earlier on Tuesday at the State House, Abuja, explained that the fund was to increase investments in the nation's critical infrastructure significantly.
He said, "The implementation of the 2019 Capital Budget, which was only approved in June 2019, will be accelerated to ensure that critical priority projects are completed or substantially addressed.
"To maximise impact, we shall continue to increasingly welcome and encourage private capital for infrastructural development through Public-Private Partnerships.
"Through the Road Infrastructure Tax Credit Scheme, which I initiated in January this year, we are giving incentives to private sector inflow of over N205 billion in 19 Nigerian roads and bridges of 794.4km across in 11 States of the Federation."
According to the President, the Federal Government had so far released N1.74 trillion for the execution of various capital projects in the 2018 fiscal year.
On diversification of the economy, the President explained that the push would persist in the next one year.
"We will still remain focused on optimizing the revenues generated from the oil and gas sector.
"We will be working with the Legislature, soon to pass the Petroleum Industry Bill and amendments to the Deep Offshore Act and Inland Basin Production Sharing Contracts Act into law, to ensure Government obtains a fair share of oil revenues, whilst encouraging private sector investment.
"We will also continue our fight against illegal bunkering of crude oil and the smuggling of refined petroleum products across our borders, including the diligent prosecution and conviction of offenders found guilty of these acts. Whilst Nigeria remains committed to free and fair continental and international trade, we will not hesitate to take all necessary steps to tackle illegal smuggling, transhipment and other predatory trade practices that destroy jobs in our country."
The President noted that the exchange rate in the last three years had remained stable, with robust reserves of 42.5 billion dollars, up from 23 billion dollars in October. 2016.

\section{ Introduction }

The parton distribution functions (PDFs) which
contribute to the LHC processes, and the PDFs
fitted at HERA and fixed target experiments
are defined at somewhat
different $(x,Q^2)$ ranges
\footnote{Several recent PDF fits,
as well as the references to the previous
studies, can be found in \cite{NNLOfits}.}
(see, for example, Fig.~\ref{LHCkin} taken from \cite{Thorne2005}).
Therefore, a direct application
of the modern PDF sets \cite{NNLOfits} to the LHC processes
is not well justified.

This problem is really important, because the
larger uncertainties for many processes at the LHC
originate mainly from our restricted knowledge
of the parton distributions
(see, for example, the recent paper \cite{Forte} and references therein).

In the present paper we propose
an idea to overcome this problem. Our solution consists of
the two basic steps.
Firstly, we find asymptotics of solutions of
the Dokshitzer-Gribov-Lipatov-Altarelli-Parisi (DGLAP)
equations \cite{DGLAP} for the parton densities at low and large $x$ values of the
Bjorken variable and, at the next step,
we approach a combination of the two solutions for the full range of $x$.

In a sense, this is not a new idea. A similar approach
had been given by the Spanish group (see book \cite{Yndu} and references therein)
about 40 years ago. However, in the present paper the
parametrization will be constructed in a rather
different way. In particular,
it includes
an important subasymptotic term which
is fixed exactly by the sum rules.

The results of the present paper are restricted by the leading order (LO) of the
perturbation expansion,
what is reasonable \cite{Sherstnev},
since for many processes
at the LHC the next-to-leading-order (NLO) corrections are not known so far.
Moreover, in the present study
we limit ourselves
to the valence
quarks, whose evolution does not contain
contributions from the gluons.

\section{ A short theoretical input }

In this section we briefly present the theoretical part of our analysis.
The reader is referred to \cite{Kotikov2007} for more details.

The deep-inelastic scattering (DIS)
$l + N \to l^\prime + X$, where
$l$ and $N$ are
the incoming lepton and nucleon, and $l^\prime$ is the outgoing lepton,
in the one of basic processes to study of the nucleon structure. The DIS cross-section
can be split to the lepton
$L^{\mu \nu}$ and hadron $F^{\mu \nu}$ parts
\begin{equation}
d\sigma \sim L^{\mu \nu} F^{\mu \nu} \, .
\label{S1.1}
\end{equation}

The lepton part $L^{\mu \nu}$
is evaluated exactly, while the hadron one,
$F^{\mu \nu}$, can be presented in the following form
\begin{eqnarray}
F^{\mu \nu} &=& \left(-g^{\mu \nu}+ \frac{q^{\mu}q^{\nu}}{q^2}\right) \, F_1(x,Q^2)
\nonumber \\
&+& \left(p^{\mu}+ \frac{(pq)}{q^2}q^{\mu}\right) \left(p^{\nu}+
\frac{(pq)}{q^2}q^{\nu}\right) \, F_2(x,Q^2)
\nonumber \\
&+& i\varepsilon_{\mu \nu \alpha \beta}p^{\alpha}p^{\beta} \frac{x}{q^2}
\, F_3(x,Q^2) + \dots \,,
\label{S1.2}
\end{eqnarray}
where the symbol $\dots$ stands for the parts, which depend on
the nucleon spin.
The functions
$F_k(x,Q^2)$ (hereafter $k=1,2,3$) are the DIS structure functions (SFs) and
$q$ and $p$ are the photon and parton
momenta. Moreover, the two variables
\begin{equation}
Q^2=-q^2 > 0 ~,~~ x=\frac{Q^2}{2(pq)}
\label{S1.var}
\end{equation}
determine the basic properties of the DIS process. Here, $Q^2$ is the ``mass''
of the virtual photon and/or $Z/W$ boson, and the Bjorken variable $x$
($0<x<1$) is the part of the hadron momentum carried by the scattering parton (quark or gluon).

\subsection{Mellin transform}

The Mellin transform
diagonalizes the $Q^2$ evolution of the parton densities.
In other words,
the $Q^2$ evolution of the Mellin moment with certain value
$n$ does not depend on the moment with another value $n^\prime$.

The Mellin moments $M_k(n,Q^2)$ of the SF $F_k(x,Q^2)$
\begin{equation}
M_k(n,Q^2) = \int_{0}^{1}dx\,\,x^{n-1} F_k(x,Q^2)
\label{S1.3}
\end{equation}
can be represented
as the sum
\begin{equation}
M_k(n,Q^2) = \sum_{a=q,\bar{q},G} \, C^a_k(n,Q^2/\mu^2) \,
A_a(n,\mu^2),
\label{S1.4}
\end{equation}
where $C^a_k(n,Q^2/\mu^2)$ are the coefficient functions and
$A_a(n,\mu^2)=<N| \mathcal{O}^a_{\mu_1, ..., \mu_n}|N>$ are the matrix
elements of the Wilson operators $\mathcal{O}^a_{\mu_1, ..., \mu_n}$,
which in turn are process independent.

Phenomenologically, the matrix elements $A_a(n,\mu^2)$ are equal to
the Mellin moments of the PDFs $f_a(x,\mu^2)$,
\footnote{
All parton densities are multiplied by $x$, i.e.
in the LO the
structure functions are some combinations of the parton densities.}
where $f_a(x,\mu^2)$
are the parton distributions of quarks ($a=q_i$), antiquarks ($a=\bar{q}_i$) with
$(i=1, \cdots ,6$),
 and gluons ($a=G$),
i.e.
\begin{equation}
A_a(n,\mu^2) \equiv f_a(n,\mu^2) = \int_{0}^{1}dx\,\,x^{n-1} f_a(x,\mu^2) \, .
\label{S1.5}
\end{equation}
The coefficient functions $C^a_k(n,Q^2/\mu^2)$ are represented by
\begin{equation}
C^a_k(n,Q^2/\mu^2) = \int_{0}^{1}dx\,\,x^{n-1} \tilde{C}^a_k(x,Q^2/\mu^2)
\label{S1.6}
\end{equation}
and responsible for the relationship between SFs and PDFs. Indeed, in
the $x$-space the relation (\ref{S1.4}) is replaced by
\begin{equation}
F_k(x,Q^2) = \sum_{a=q,\bar{q},G} \,
\tilde{C}^a_k(x,Q^2/\mu^2) \otimes f_a(x,\mu^2) \, ,
\label{S1.7}
\end{equation}
where $\otimes$ denotes the Mellin convolution
\begin{equation}
f_1(x) \otimes f_2(x) \equiv \int^1_x \, \frac{dy}{y} \, f_1(y)
f_2\left(\frac{x}{y}\right) \, .
\label{S1.8}
\end{equation}

Using Eqs.~(\ref{S1.4}) and (\ref{S1.7}),
one can fit
the shapes of PDFs $f_a(x,\mu^2)$, which are process-independent and
use them later on for another processes. Indeed, the
cross-sections of the hadron-hadron
processes are proportional
to
the parton luminosities $f_{a,b}(x,\mu^2)$
(see, for example, the recent paper \cite{Neubert} and references therein),
which
are the Mellin convolutions of the
two PDFs $f_{a}(x,\mu^2)$ and $f_{b}(x,\mu^2)$:
\begin{equation}
f_{a,b}(x,\mu^2) = f_a(x,\mu^2) \otimes f_b(x,\mu^2) \, .
\label{S1.9}
\end{equation}

\subsection{Quark distribution functions}

The distributions of the $u$ and $d$ quarks contain the valence
and the sea parts
\begin{equation}
f_{q_1} \equiv f_u = f_u^V + f_u^S ~,~~ f_{q_2} \equiv f_d = f_d^V + f_d^S \, .
\label{S1.10}
\end{equation}
The distributions of the other quark flavors and of
all the antiquarks contain the sea parts only:
\begin{equation}
f_{q_j} = f_{q_j}^S,~~(j=3,4,5,6),~~~ f_{\bar{q}_i} = f_{\bar{q}_i}^S ~~(i=1, \cdots ,6)\, .
\label{S1.11}
\end{equation}

It is useful to define the combinations of quark densities,
the valence part $f_{V}$, the sea one $f_{S}$ and the singlet one $f_{SI}$
\cite{Buras}
\footnote{
Here
we consider
all quark flavors.
Really, heavy quarks factorize out when $\sqrt{Q^2}$ becomes
less then their masses, and we should exclude them from the $Q^2$-region.
}
\begin{eqnarray}
f_{V} &=& f_u^V + f_d^V ~,~~
f_{S} = \sum_{i=1}^{6} \left(f_{q_i}^S + f_{\bar{q}_i}^S \right) ~,
\nonumber \\
f_{SI} &=& \sum_{i=1}^{6} \left(f_{q_i} + f_{\bar{q}_i} \right) = f_{V} + f_{S} \, .
\label{S1.12}
\end{eqnarray}

Because the PDFs, which contribute to the structure functions,
are accompanied by some numerical factors, there are also nonsinglet parts
\begin{equation}
f_{\Delta_{ij}} = \left(f_{q_i} +f_{\bar{q}_i}\right)-
 \left(f_{q_j} +f_{\bar{q}_j}\right)\, ,
\label{S1.13}
\end{equation}
which contain difference of densities of quarks and antiquarks with
different values of charges.

As an example, we consider the electron-proton scattering, where the
corresponding SF has the form
\begin{equation}
F_2^{ep}(x,Q^2) = \sum_{i=1}^{6} e_i^2  \left(f_{q_i}(x,Q^2) +
f_{\bar{q}_i}(x,Q^2) \right) \, .
\label{S1.14}
\end{equation}
In the four-quark case (when $b$ and $t$ quarks are separated out),
as in \cite{Buras}, we will have
\begin{equation}
F_2^{ep}(x,Q^2) = \frac{5}{18} \, f_{SI}(x,Q^2) + \frac{1}{6} f_{\Delta}(x,Q^2) \, ,
\label{S1.15}
\end{equation}
where
\begin{align}
f_{\Delta} &= \sum_{q_i=u,c} \left(f_{q_i}(x,Q^2) +
f_{\bar{q}_i}(x,Q^2) \right)
\nonumber \\
&- \sum_{q_i=d,s} \left(f_{q_i}(x,Q^2) +
f_{\bar{q}_i}(x,Q^2) \right)
\, .
\label{S1.16}
\end{align}

\subsection{DGLAP equation}

The PDFs obey the DGLAP equation \cite{DGLAP}
\begin{equation}
\frac{d}{d\ln {\mu^{2}}} \, f_{a}(x,\mu^{2}) ~=
\sum_{b} \tilde{\gamma}_{ab}(x) \otimes f_{b}(x,\mu^{2}) \,,
\label{S2.1}
\end{equation}
where $a,b=NS,SI,G$ and $\tilde{\gamma}_{ab}(x)$ are the so-called
splitting functions.

Anomalous dimensions $\gamma_{ab}(n)$ of the twist-two Wilson operators
$\mathcal{O}^a_{\mu_1, ..., \mu_n}$ in the brackets $b$
are the Mellin transforms of the corresponding
splitting functions
\begin{equation}
\gamma _{ab}(n) = \int_{0}^{1}dx\,\,x^{n-1} \tilde{\gamma}_{ab}(x) \,.
\label{S2.2}
\end{equation}

In the Mellin moment space, the DGLAP equation becomes to be
the standard renormalization-group equation
\begin{equation}
\frac{d}{d\ln {\mu^{2}}} \, f_{a}(n,\mu^{2}) ~=
\sum_{b=NS,SI,G}\tilde{\gamma}_{ab}(n)\, f_{b}(n,\mu^{2}) \,.
\label{S2.2a}
\end{equation}

Below we will study the properties of the valence part only.
Consideration of the other quark densities will be discussed separately.

\section{Low and large $x$ asymptotics}

The large $x$ asymptotics of the valence quark density has
the following form \cite{Gross,LoYn}
\begin{equation}
f_V(x,Q^2) ~\to~ B_V(s) (1-x)^{\beta_V(s)}  \,,
\label{S2.3}
\end{equation}
where
\begin{gather}
s=\ln \left(\frac{\ln (Q_0^2/\Lambda^2)}{\ln (Q^2/\Lambda^2)}\right) \,,~
\beta_V(s) = \beta_V(0) + \hat{d}_{V} s \,,~
\hat{d}_{V} = \frac{16}{3\beta_0} \,,
\nonumber \\
B_V(s) =
B_V(0) \frac{e^{-p_V s}}{\Gamma(1+\beta_V(s))} \,,~
p_V =
\hat{d}_{V} \left(\gamma_E-\frac{3}{4}\right) s \,.
\label{S2.4}
\end{gather}
$B_V(0)$ and $\beta_V(0)$ are free parameters.
Here $\beta_0=11-2f/3$ is the first term of the QCD $\beta$-function,
$f$ is the number of active quarks
and $\gamma_E$ is the Euler constant. The constant $\beta_V(0)$ can be estimated
from the quark counting rules \cite{schot} as
\begin{equation}
\beta_V(0)
\sim 3 \,.
\label{S2.5}
\end{equation}
Eqs.~(\ref{S2.3}) and (\ref{S2.4}) demonstrate the fall
of the parton densities at large $x$ values when $Q^2$ increases.

At small-$x$ values the valence part
has the following asymptotics  \cite{FMartin,LoYn,Kotikov1993}
\begin{equation}
f_V(x) ~\to~  A_V(s) \, x^{\lambda_V} \,,
\label{S3.1}
\end{equation}
where
\begin{gather}
A_V(s) = A_V(0) e^{-d_{NS}(1-\lambda_V) s} \,,
\label{S3.2} \\
d_{NS}(n) =
\frac{16}{3\beta_0} \left[
\Psi(n+1)+ \gamma_E -\frac{3}{4}- \frac{1}{2n(n+1)} \right] \,.
\nonumber
\end{gather}
$\lambda_V$ and $A_V(0)$ are free parameters
and $\Psi(n+1)$ is Euler $\Psi$-function.

From the Regge calculus
the constant $\lambda_V \sim 0.3 \div 0.5$.
Moreover,
the $Q^2$ evolution of this parton density shows that
$\lambda_V$ should be $Q^2$ independent \cite{Kotikov1996}.

In Eq.~(\ref{S3.2}) the ``anomalous dimension'' $d_{NS}(n)$ is represented in
the form which is useful for the non-integer $n$ values.
Usually, the elements of
the coefficient functions and anomalous dimensions are expressed as the combinations
of the nested sums \cite{Vermaseren}, which can be expanded, however, to the
non-integer $n$ values according to \cite{KaKo}.

\section{Parametrization
}

The valence quark part $f_V(x,Q^2)$ can be represented in the following form
\footnote{
Following to \cite{Maximov}, it is possible to add to the parametrization
(\ref{S4.1}) an additional polynomial term
$(1+ \sum^N_{k=1}\alpha_{V,k} x^k)$ with certain constants
$\alpha_{V,k}$. This term fixes properly the PDF
shape and may improve essentially an
agreement with the corresponding experimental data.
In the valence sector, considered here,
we found a good agreement between (\ref{S4.1}) and the data without such term.
However, in the singlet part, where there is a strong
correlation between the see quark and gluon densities, similar terms may be
useful.}
\begin{equation}
f_V(x,Q^2) =  x^{\lambda_V} (1-x)^{\beta_V(s)}
\biggl[A_V(s)(1-x) + B_V(s)x  \biggr] \,,
\label{S4.1}
\end{equation}
which is constructed as a combination of the small $x$ and large $x$
asymptotics,
the last term is equal to $A_V(s)$ at small $x$ and to
$B_V(s)$ at large $x$ values.
The $Q^2$-dependence of the parameters in (\ref{S4.1}) is given by Eqs.~(\ref{S2.4})
and (\ref{S3.2}).

\subsection{Gross-Llewellyn-Smith sum rule}

The additional relation between the parameters in (\ref{S4.1})
stems from the LO Gross-Llewellyn-Smith
sum rule \cite{GrLl}
\footnote{Above LO, the Gross-Llewellyn-Smith sum rule \cite{GrLl} is
defined as the integral of the structure function $F_3$ and contains
the perturbative ($\sim \alpha_s$) and the power corrections in its r.h.s.
(see, for example, \cite{KaSi} and references therein).}

\begin{equation}
\int_0^1 \frac{dx}{x} f_V(x,Q^2) = Q_V ~,~~ Q_V=3 \,,
\label{S4.2}
\end{equation}
which simply informs about the number of the valence quarks in nucleon.

As long as the Eq.~(\ref{S4.1}) is just a parametrization, an attempt to apply
the sum rule for, e.g., $k$ different values of $Q^2$ produces $k$
additional relations that is, of course, unacceptable.
The sum rule can be applied only at one point $s=s_C$ for
some \emph{critical} value of $Q^2_C$.
For the other values of $Q^2$, the sum rule holds only approximately
and one can estimate the deviation from the exact sum rule.

So, we have the following relation
\begin{align}
Q_V &= \frac{\Gamma(\lambda_V)\Gamma(1+\beta_V(s_C))}{\Gamma(\lambda_V+2+\beta_V(s_C))}
\Bigl[
\lambda_V B_V(0) e^{-p_V s_C}
\nonumber\\
&+ (1+\beta_V(s_C)) A_V(0) e^{-d_{NS}(1-\lambda_V) s_C}
\Bigr] \,.
\label{S4.3}
\end{align}

It is possible to choose any ``middle'' value of $s$. However, if
$s_C=0$, i.e. $Q^2_C=Q^2_0$,
then Eq.~(\ref{S4.3}) is considerably simplified
\begin{equation}
Q_V = \frac{\Gamma(\lambda_V)\Gamma(1+\beta_V(0))}{\Gamma(\lambda_V+2+\beta_V(0))}
\Bigl[
\lambda_V B_V(0)
+ (1+\beta_V(0))A_V(0)
\Bigr] \,.
\label{S4.4}
\end{equation}

\subsection{Subasymptotic term }

In the present paper we choose another possibility
to take exactly the sum rule (\ref{S4.2}) into account. We introduce
an additional term $\sim D_V(s)$ to our parameterization (\ref{S4.1}), which
can be written as
\begin{align}
f_V(x,&Q^2) = x^{\lambda_V} (1-x)^{\beta_V(s)}
\label{S4.5}\\
&\times \Bigl[A_V(s)(1-x) + B_V(s)x + D_V(s)\sqrt{x}(1-x) \Bigr] \,,
\nonumber
\end{align}
where the last term in the brackets is subasymptotic in both the small
and the large $x$ values.
These types of the subasymptotic reduction,
$\sim \sqrt{x}$ at small $x$
and $\sim (1-x)$ at large $x$ values, have been
discussed in \cite{Yndu}.

Now, the sum rule (\ref{S4.2}) can be satisfied at any $Q^2$ values and
determines completely the new term,
\begin{eqnarray}
Q_V &=& \frac{\Gamma(\lambda_V)\Gamma(1+\beta_V(s))}{\Gamma(\lambda_V+2+\beta_V(s))}
\, \Bigl[ \lambda_V B_V(s)  + (1+\beta_V(s)) A_V(s) \Bigr]
\nonumber \\
&+&
\frac{\Gamma(\lambda_V+1/2)\Gamma(2+\beta_V(s))}{\Gamma(\lambda_V+5/2+\beta_V(s))}
\, D_V(s) \,.
\label{S4.6}
\end{eqnarray}

\section{Results}

To obtain the parameters of our parameterization (\ref{S4.5}) for the
valence part, we compare it numerically with the results of several
Gluck-Reya-Vogt (GRV) sets \cite{GRV92,GRV98} and
Gluck-Jimenez-Delgado-Reya (GJR) one \cite{GRV08}.
The choice of the GRV/GJR evolution is related to future
investigations of the gluon and sea quark densities; the small $x$
asymptotics obtained in \cite{Q2evo}
are conceptually close to the GRV/GJR approach.

\begin{table*}[tH]
\begin{ruledtabular}
\begin{center}
\begin{tabular}{|c|ccccccc|}
    & $f$ & $\alpha_s(M_Z)$ & $Q_0^2~(\mbox{GeV}^2)$ & $A_V(0)$ & $B_V(0)$ & $\lambda_V$ & $\beta_V(0)$ \\ \hline
GRV(1991) \cite{GRV92} & 4 & 0.1282 & 0.25 & 0.61 & 80.62 & 0.317 & 2.870 \\
GRV(1998) \cite{GRV98} & 3 & 0.1250 & 0.26 & 0.93 & 64.80 & 0.333 & 2.812 \\
GJR(2008) \cite{GRV08} & 3 & 0.1263 & 0.30 & 1.07 & 85.60 & 0.390 & 2.945 \\
\end{tabular}
\end{center}
\caption{%
The parameters of the valent quark distribution of Eq.~(\ref{S4.5}) fitted on

}%
\label{Table:param}
\end{ruledtabular}
\end{table*}

With the parameters, reported in the Table~\ref{Table:param}
our parameterization (\ref{S4.5}) and the GRV/GJR sets
are in good agreement for all $x$ values in the very broad $Q^2$ range,
$0.25$~GeV$^2$ $<Q^2<10^4$~GeV$^2$.
\footnote{We used $Q^2$ evolution at fixed $f$ value. The contributions
of the heavy-quark thresholds are negligible \cite{KK09}.}

Then, the parameterization (\ref{S4.5}) describes the experimental data as
well as the GRV/GJR sets and has the analytic form containing the exact
asymptotics (\ref{S2.3}) and (\ref{S3.1}) of the
DGLAP
evolutions at small and large $x$ values. Thus, it can be applied with
good warranty in any other ($x,Q^2$) region, where the
experimental data are still not available.
So, it should be applicable for the LHC range of $x$ and $Q^2$ values.

Note, that all GRV/GJR sets themselves give quite close results for the valence quarks,
i.e. these results should not change significantly when the new
data will appear, for example, from the LHC experiments.

\section{Conclusions}

In this work, we investigated
the low $x$ and large $x$ asymptotics of the
valence quark density, and
obtained the corresponding parametrization (\ref{S4.5}).
This parametrization obeys explicitly the Gross-Llewellyn-Smith sum rule.
It has been compared with various GRV/GJR sets
\cite{GRV92,GRV98,GRV08}
in order to fit the initial values of
all the $Q^2$-dependent parameters.
It has been performed accurately, because
numerically the form (\ref{S4.5}) and the GRV/GJR sets have very similar
shapes for all $x$ and $Q^2$ values.

At the next step, we plan to add to our analysis the nonsinglet and sea
quark densities as well as
the gluon distribution,
and
apply the obtained results to the
analysis of several LHC processes. Moreover, a comparison of these results
with
the predictions of other sets \cite{NNLOfits} of the parton
densities will be done.
We also plan to consider the PDFs in nuclei. Therefore,
the EMC effect \cite{EMC}, which is very important in the high-energy regime,
will be added to the consideration.

Tourism is often a booming field. With lots of travellers flocking to distinct locations all around the world, tourism is starting to become certainly one of the most practical organization markets from the environment. Nonetheless, air journey, vehicle travel and other facets of tourism are incorporating for the planet's air pollution disaster which has started to become a challenge. Journey operators and hospitality corporates realised that some action necessary being taken, and Eco-tourism was developed for a option to this issue. This can be similar to Virtual Reality Game Engine.
Accountable tourism means all tourism instantly depending on the use of pure lifetime e.g. wildlife and landscape. Nature primarily based tourism incorporate eco-tourism and mass tourism.
Related to Virtual Reality Game Engine, You'll find two levels of responses to your question of why people travel. The initial is the evident one particular, and possibly the rationale we give ourselves and quotation to other people. We travel to ensure that we are able to see sights, experience other cultures, attend situations and master more about the planet. These are definitely thrilling factors. But you'll find further reasons for touring which have a lot less to complete with what we do when we journey, and more to complete with what touring does to us. These 5 sets of adjustments to ourselves are on the heart of what makes vacation so persuasive.

Brant Youth Volleyball Club
Serving Brantford and Brant County
Indoor Programs
Beach Programs
2019/20 Teams
BYVC HISTORY
1998 – The first team in the Club was a mixture of boys from St. George-German and Paris District elementary schools. These teams were the finalists in the County playoffs and boys from both teams were eager to keep playing. We called the OVA to enquire about registering them for an OVA age group tournament only to be told that to play in OVA tournaments you had to enter as a Club. The paperwork was filled out and the Brant Youth Volleyball Club was born!
1999 – The original boys were still interested in playing but had moved up to the Midget (U16) age group. We recruited some grade 10 boys to supplement the original group to make us more competitive. Realizing that we needed a younger team to feed the original group when the new grade 10 recruits moved up an age group, we also fielded a team at the bantam (U14) age group. Now we had two boys' teams of which none of our own children played on. Our daughter was in grade seven at the time, so we decided that we should do a girls' team as well. Most of those original female players were from Sandy's summertime fastball team.
2000 – This year marked our first foray onto the international stage. That summer, Hamilton was hosting the International Children's Games. We applied for acceptance and were able to take nine female and nine male volleyball players. The kids had a great time representing their country and getting a taste of competition at the international level. Although we didn't win many games, they took away great memories from the experience and an appreciation of the hard work and dedication required to succeed. Many of these players went on to become leaders making a significant contribution to their high school teams.
2002 – Through the generosity and support of the Ontario Trillium Foundation, we established our house league program. This program was developed to offer skill development to a younger age group and those interested in playing at a more recreational level than our competitive teams.
A personal highlight this year was when co-founder Sandy Beedham was recognized by the OVA with the Female Developmental Coach of the Year award. This award is presented annually to two outstanding coaches (one female, one male) for their history in developing athletes/ teams within the OVA and for their contribution to the development of our sport in the province.
2003 – Our first overseas excursion! We competed in the Sun 'n Surf tournament held in Honolulu Hawaii. Some of the original ICG girls were also a part of this trip. A great time was had by all and we won a few games. The tournament consisted of high school and club teams from Hawaii, British Columbia and Ontario.
2004 – A new group of girls got to be a part of the ICG experience as we travelled to Cleveland, Ohio to compete in that year's games. We played against teams from Switzerland, Slovakia, South Korea, Mexico and Puerto Rico.
2005 – Caribbean tour. Played against teams from Dominica and Aruba while enjoying some Caribbean hospitality.
2006 – ICG Bangkok. 24 athletes – 12 males and 12 females.
2007 – This year was a banner year for our alumni. We had former members playing for the University of Guelph, Mohawk College, Humber College, Fanshawe College and our first U.S. recruited athlete at Houghton College in New York state. In total we had 5 females and 3 males competing at the post-secondary level.
2008 – ICG San Francisco. Took both a girls and a boys team. The boys team defeated Jerusalem in the semi-final to bring home a bronze medal.
2009 – ICG Athens – Again were able to take a boys team and a girls team to compete in the birthplace of the modern Olympics.
2011 – Our first trips across the border to compete in US age group tournaments. Each team was able to compete in a tournament in Buffalo New York. We also took combined 14/15U and 16/17U teams to participate in the USA East Coast Championships in Pittsburgh in late May.
2012 – Alumni Rachel Roorda earns an OUA All Star Award with the Brock Badgers and goes on to make the National Senior B team. This year's ICG group travels to Daegu, South Korea.
2013 – Alumni Holly Motheral becomes Volleyball Head Coach at Taylor University in Upland, Indiana. We take both a boys team and girls team to participate in ICG Windsor.
2015 – Record number of participants in our SPIKES fall program. Travel to Alkmaar, Netherlands for 2015 International Childrens Games with girl's indoor team and pairs of girls and boys in the first ever ICG beach volleyball competition. Girls pair of Tori & Emerald make the medal round. In the fall of 2015 we introduced our Little Diggers program to bring fundamental movement and introductory volleyball skills to the grades 1-3 age range. In partnership with the County of Brant and through the generous support of the Ontario Trillium Foundation, BYVC builds 3 outdoor beach volleyball courts at Green Lane Sports Park in Paris.
2016 – BYVC is one of five clubs in Ontario endorsed to run SMASHBALL program.
Rec House League Registration Open!

Q: Can't get into Juniper Networks Netscreen Web interface Have a Netscreen that appears to be functioning correctly (it's in production and has been for several years), but yet is not allowing me into the Web interface on port 80 or 443 (also tried 8080).  Tried telneting to 22 and 23 as well.  Any attempt to connect times out.
I've nmap'ed the IP on the internal interface and all ports show as being filtered, but as far as I recall, it was listening on 80.  Also tried the external interface as it was setup for remote management, but can't connect that way either.
It was working last time I tried getting into it (last fall, I think).
I've cycled the power on it twice (pulled the adapter, waited 30 seconds, plugged it back in), but no dice.

A: Console into the firewall as kageeslin suggested, then do a 'get interface ' and look for something like this:
Interface ethernet0/0(VSI):
  description ethernet0/0
  link up, phy-link up/full-duplex
  vsys Root, zone Untrust, vr trust-vr, vsd 0
  *ip 192.168.1.1/24   mac abcd.abcd.abcd
  manage ip 192.168.1.2, mac abcd.abcd.abcd
  ping enabled, telnet enabled, SSH enabled, SNMP enabled
  web enabled, ident-reset disabled, SSL enabled

Make sure you are trying to connect to one of your manageable interfaces and also make sure that it has a route back to you (get route).  Can the firewall ping your PC?
[edited for additional testing steps]
Once you have console access:
Check the admin ports that the web server is listening on:
get conf | inc admin

Try setting a filter for your connection and debug.
clear dbuf
set ffilter src-ip <your ip address>
debug flow basic
[try the connection again]
sh db str

A: Have you tried to access via console cable?

A: Have you tried from a local subnet as well, just incase routing is fubar'd?

A: Theres an odd behaviour with the web interface particularly. If you enter your username and password and press enter, the fields will be cleared and it looks like your password was not accepted. If you click the actual submit button you'll be able to log in. I ended up resetting the whole device before realizing this myself.

A: If you have something forwarded through the firewall on port 80, the firewall will change its default interface to 8000.  Try the ip with port 8000 in your web browser and it should work.

A: Hilariously enough, I found my co-worker's question while googling the same question. The answer to this wound up being
set admin manager-ip 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0
set admin port 8887
Admin port might not have been needed, but at least then I could be sure. Previous IT provider had in fact set the admin manager-ip to be the internet IP on the client at the time which was entirely out of date. God bless those guys in the red clown cars.


"Great teambuilding activity, very well organized. All participants had real fun and it was a nice way to discover Berlin. Peter, thanks again for the excellent job ! Really appreciated."
Nestlé contacted us and asked us to arrange a City Rally with picnic as a supplement to their conference in Berlin, and we were happy to assist them.
We arrange transfers from the hotel to the start site where we also gave instructions for the rally. Each team was equipped with a notepad, pen and a camera and headed out to solve the quests. The tasks had been created to be as well educational as fun and creative, and the members were for example asked to depict the fall of the Berlin wall or to find a real Berliner and learn a Berlin slang from them. The tasks also included a ride up in the TV tower, where the teams were served a drink and could enjoy the view.
After the rally we had arrange an outdorr BBQ by the river with a live chef cooking up the dishes in front of them.
The day after we presented the results of the rally in a small award show, where we showed the photos from the rally and handed out prizes to winners of different categories.


Chef Shawn Cirkiel, acclaimed restaurateur, has partnered with Forestar Group, owner of the full-service Radisson Hotel and Suites in downtown Austin, to open a new restaurant in the hotel. Scheduled to open in January 2014, the new Cirkiel restaurant will feature contemporary southwestern cuisine. Housed in the space previously occupied by a TGI Fridays, the restaurant is being completely transformed by local restaurant designer and architect Michael Hsu.
The menu will be built around shareable plates and sides, from homemade tamales and folded enchiladas to grilled cowboy steak and roasted hen. Cirkiel will be sourcing meats, fish, and produce from local farms and ranches and combining them with the flavors he grew up with to create true Texas fare, from fresh fish simply finished to homemade tortillas and biscuits made to order with a little bit of bone marrow, whipped butter, and sea salt.
The restaurant will be serving breakfast (everything from classic migas and huevos rancheros to steak and eggs grilled over an oak fire), lunch (featuring five to six kinds of tortas, from hamburger to black bean and avocado), and dinner (everything from a raw bar with ceviche to fried oyster gorditos and lamb en mole) and desserts, which are made in-house by Cirkiel's talented pastry team.
Cirkiel will also be providing food service for the hotel, including room service, banquets, and events. "We get to play with a lot of different things," said Cirkiel.
The restaurant, which will be overlooking Lady Bird Lake, is scheduled to open in January. "For us, it is a great opportunity to create the food we like to cook and eat in a unique environment," said Cirkiel.
The new restaurant highlights Hsu's signature contemporary style, with clean architectural lines, oversized windows with views of Lady Bird Lake and a modern, warmly crafted design aesthetic.


Mary Finn lives in Dublin, where she worked for some years as a magazine journalist for Radio Telefís Eireann, the Irish broadcasting service. She now works as a parliamentary reporter for the Oireachtas, the Irish Houses of Parliament. She writes historical novels: her Anila's Journey is set in colonial India, and won the Eilis Dillon Award. Her horse story, The Horse Girl (USA: Belladonna), explores 18th century Lincolnshire, and what went on when the artist George Stubbs was researching equine anatomy for his The Anatomy of the Horse (1766).
I found this a book of two halves: when the book is dealing with hero Thomas, his family background, and his relationship with Stubbs, it is fascinating. Mary Finn has the knack of making the reader believe in every detail of the historical period she's talking about. The girl Ling, whom Thomas ends up following around the country, made less impact on me. Nonetheless, for anyone remotely keen on Stubbs, this book is well worth reading.

SF City finished their 2018 PDL season on the road with an afternoon 2-0 win over the Santa Cruz Breakers at Cabrillo College in Aptos. Gerardo Mendoza's two goals were the difference maker in this game as City ended things on a positive note.
The win closed off in what was a season of highs and lows. The top highlight was their US Open Cup win at Oakland against NPSL contenders CD Aguiluchos, and a road win at Boxer against their crosstown rivals the Glens. Despite their slow start to the season on the road that resulted in 5 losses and 1 draw, City finished strong taking 2 wins over the Breakers and 1 against the Seahorses; only their loss at home against the Glens was the taint on that streak. The team has very high expectations of contending once again in their division and an established Bay Area rivalry against the Glens and the Breakers.


Can You Use Any Charger With Any Cell Phone, Laptop, Camera, or Tablet?
Every cell phone, laptop, and tablet seem to come with their own charger. If you're like me, you've probably compiled quite a few chargers over the years. So the question becomes: is it safe to use a charger with your phone, laptop, camera, or tablet that isn't the original manufacturer's charger that came with the device?
In this article, we will focus on three types of chargers: laptop chargers, micro USB chargers (these are used with phones, tablets, and cameras), and Apple Lightning Connectors. While some devices have chargers with a slightly different head or charging cable, these are the most common.
Can you swap phone chargersLaptop chargers are fairly specific to the device they come with. However, there may be some generic chargers that boast the ability to be interchanged between laptops. This always requires changing of the charger "head" and may not be the optimal charging amperage or voltage for your device.
Micro USBs are theoretically designed to be interchangeable, and are standard in most smartphones, Android devices, and tablets. Micro USB chargers typically have the same voltage, but may draw different amps. I'll explain this further later and how to know if the charger is safe to use (depending on its listed amps and voltage).
Apple Lightning Connectors are standard on all new Apple devices, including iPads and iPods. For older devices with a 30-pin charge port, a connector can be used to charge with the Lightning Connector.
Can You Use Any Charger With Any Cell PhoneIn order for a charger to be used on a different device, it's important that the plug of the charger (the "head") fit securely into the charging port of the device. Micro USBs are the same across the board as far as charging heads, while laptop chargers are often specific to both make and model. However, the plug fitting securely is only one part of the equation.
Somewhere on the power brick of the charger you will find a label with the charger's voltage (V) and amperage (A). For laptop chargers, this charging brick is often halfway down the charger and typically looks exactly like it sounds – a brick. For other types of chargers, like a smartphone charger, this information is usually found at the base of the charger, where it would meet the wall. For the device you are trying to charge, the voltage and amperage required will be found on the battery that came with the device or on the manufacturer's website.
Use the correct charger for phone, laptop, camera, and tabletVoltage is how much power the charger will draw into the device, or how much is being "pushed" into the device by the charger. A phone will usually pull up to around 5V, while a laptop can pull up to 25V. A charger must equal the voltage required by the device. This is important: drawing too high a voltage could short out the device and potentially even start a fire, while too low a voltage will fail to charge the battery.
Amperage is how quickly power is "pulled" into the device, or how much power is used by the device. The amount of volts will never change, but the amount of amps that the device pulls may change depending on how hard the device is working. The number that you find on the battery that came with your device will be the max amount of amps that can be pulled by the device. The number found on the charger is how many amps can be pulled at once. In order to exchange chargers, the amp number on the charger must equal or exceed the amp number listed on the device's battery. If a device is paired with a charger that cannot support the amp requirement, it can burn out the power supply and kill the device.
So if you have a modern USB device (smart phone, tablet, or camera) you can plug into a high-amperage USB port and enjoy faster charging (as long as the voltage is equal). *Site Note: if you have an older device, it may not work with USB ports that employ the new Battery Charging Specification.
Some devices may have their voltage listed with a plus/minus on it like this: 5v +- 5%. If this is the case, you can use a charger rated at 4.75 to 5.25v because that rating is telling you is that the device can take 5v minus 5% of 5v = 4.75 volts OR 5v plus 5% of 5v = 5.25 volts. So this means anything between 4.75 t0 5.25v is safe to use (as long as the amperage of the charger is equal to or higher than the device's listed amperage).
An interesting thing to note is all chargers supply a higher voltage than the batteries they charge. That is pretty much how they work. There has to be a voltage differential to produce the necessary current flow in the correct direction to charge the battery. If you look at your car, it has a 12V battery, but typical alternators provide 13.8 to 14.4V charging voltage to the battery.
Use different laptop charger with laptopThe problem with knockoffs, particularly cheap knockoffs, is that they often don't support the power requirements of the device, or are not built to maintain a steady flow safely. This can cause damage to the device but can also pose a safety/fire hazard. Overall, it's best to stick with the charger designed for the device you are using.
I hope this article was able to help you. Now you know how to safely and effectively use a charger that did not come with your smart phone, laptop, camera, tablet, or other device. Make sure you follow what we said and you should be good to go!
But what happens if you battery ages and isn't performing well anymore? Well, you have to use other methods and actually recondition it! And that's what we show you how to do in the EZ Battery Reconditioning program.

Yemen has been devastated by a conflict that escalated in early 2015, when Houthi rebels seized control of much of the west of the country and forced President Abdrabbuh Mansour Hadi to flee abroad.
The Saudi Arabia-led coalition intervened militarily in an attempt to save the government, concerned by the rise of a group they saw as an Iranian ally.
Save the Children, which promotes children's rights internationally, said a total of 5.2 million children in Yemen now faced famine.
Rising food prices and the falling value of the Yemeni currency as a result of the conflict have put the more people at risk of food insecurity.
But another threat comes from fighting around the key port city of Hudaydah, which is the entry point for most aid to the country's rebel-held areas.
The basic supplies that pass through it are needed to prevent famine and a recurrence of a cholera epidemic that affected a million people last year.
The war has also led to severe delays in paying the salaries of teachers and public servants, with some people receiving no wages for almost two years.
Those who are paid face food prices which are 68 percent more expensive than when the war began.
Meanwhile, the Yemeni Riyal has lost almost 180 percent of its value over the same period, according to Save the Children.
Save the Children's concern
"Millions of children don't know when or if their next meal will come," the chief executive of Save the Children, Helle Thorning-Schmidt, said.
"In one hospital I visited in north Yemen, the babies were too weak to cry, their bodies exhausted by hunger.
"This war risks killing an entire generation of Yemen's children who face multiple threats, from bombs to hunger to preventable diseases like cholera," she added.
Earlier this month, Save the Children said it had treated almost 400,000 children under the age of five for severe malnutrition so far in 2018, warning that more than 36,000 children could die before the end of the year.
Almost 10,000 people - two-thirds of them civilians - have been killed and 55,000 others injured in the fighting, according to the United Nations.
