In 2007/2008 they leased out the place to a local restaurateur owner of United Nations Restaurant for a short while and everyone in Charlotte was confused and thought it was the same place leaving comments online and everywhere wheres Hugo's? But his business sunk and Chris and George got it back just after a couple months. But they changed the inside and outside of the restaurant to red and orange walls and decor that was not truly aesthetic as you would like. But Chris was now angry at that fact and decided to change the name to the Mad Greek Cafe. Chris became very passionate about what he did and he wanted to bring Greece to Charlotte by offering more Greek dishes and pitas to the locals. No one knew and some still are not aware we are the same people as Hugo's Diner. I Peyton Limberakis am the owners son, Chris' son writing this today to say we are still here!

This is Steve Dawson's 8th album and his first record of instrumental music since Rattlesnake Cage appeared in 2014. A multiple Juno Award-winning producer, for this project he turned to long-time collaborator and friend, Jesse Zubot to assist in scoring and arranging the strings for five of the ten tracks included.
With the Warehouse Studio in Vancouver providing the space required, Dawson recorded live with up to twelve microphones in various positions to capture the guitar and orchestration. Contributions from Peggy Lee (cello), Jesse Zubot and his brother Josh (violins) and John Kastelic (viola) create a rich tapestry of sound and the perfect back-drop for quiet days spent in contemplation or lazy evenings by the fireside with a favourite glass of wine, perhaps. Tracks such as The Circuit Rider Of Pigeon Forge; Bone Cave; Old Hickory Breakdown; Little Harpeth and Bugscuffle are worthy mentions across the project but really, there is not a weak track on display.
Playing a range of guitars – acoustic, 12-string, national tricone, weissenborn, ukulele – the depth of Dawson's talent lies in the fact that the melodic progressions are seamless and give the impression of total fluidity and graceful ease. Joined also by Jeremy Berkman (trombone), Nick Anderson (french horn), Sam Davidson (clarinet), John Reischman (mandolin) and Charlie McCoy (harmonicas) on selected tracks, it all works as a composite whole & the fact that he has produced and/or played on more than 80 albums since the turn of the millennium says it all really and speaks volumes for the national treasure that he has become in his native Canada.

When I looked back on 2017 in preparation for this list, I realized I actually liked most of what I saw. Maybe it was a rare quality year for cinema (unlikely), or maybe I've just become increasingly scrupulous about the films I choose to view (bang on). Whatever the case, after slotting the eight films I loved enough to purchase on DVD, I found it was a bit of a challenge to sort through the plethora of other films I just sort of liked in a 'Good 7' kind of way but don't harbour much enthusiasm for. This pool of films included The Founder, John Wick 2, War for the Planet of the Apes, Wind River, Spider-Man: Homecoming, and The Meyerowitz Stories, which were all certainly good but not good enough that I'd brand any of them Top Ten material.

I see there are a coulple of mods for the appliance module, but is there any similar mods for a lamp module PLM01/LM465 to make it a momentary switch?
When I look at the schmatic I see there are two choices for a 330K resister. One that comes off of the 1n4148 diode on pin 7 of the IC and the other which is on the triac.
When I remove the 1st resister, the module is dead. So I reinstalled and and removed the second 330K resister and the module seems to behave completely normal. At the same time I noticed the 100K resister was not soldered into place (by design? or qualtity control?) so I went ahead and soldered it in correctly, but still did not give me the desired results.
Any suggesions on a mod to make a momentary lamp module?
You are to modify the older LM465 before they completely redesigned them with a surface mounted controller and 5 volt power supplies? The ones with no supply regulation and 5 volts goes down from the added current driving the triac as you change the brightness.
The momentary mode for the appliance module works because of its design. It has no memory of if it is On or Off. So if you send it an On and it is On already it used a sensor to determine if it needed the relay pulsed. When you take the sensor off the output. It thinks it is Off and will pulse a few time to try and turn it On before giving up.
Lamp modules don't have that type of electronics and maybe why trying to momentary it will not work.
The new CFL friendly Appliance modules are also a completely new design. New surface mounted IC and electronics to go with it. Not sure if the momentary mods work for those either.

We made a range of big animals just because toys can seem so much more fun when they're big! They look funnier and friendlier and so much more cuddly. This range is definitely 'two arms full' sort of size for a little one. Big enough to be a best friend and cuddly enough to fall asleep with at the end of the day.
All Pebble toys are 100% cotton with 100% polyester fill. Handmade by talented artisans in rural production centres and offering women the opportunity of flexible, local, fairly paid work. They are all machine washable at 40 degrees and can be tumble dried on a low setting.


Cats are renowned for sleeping for very long hours, however, in the moments they aren't asleep, they tend to be extremely active. These activity periods tend to happen more at night. If a cat tried to wake its owner up after he/she has turned in for the night, it could be because the cat wants to eat, play or just wants to enjoy its owner's company. Kittens below a year are particularly renowned for waking their owners up to play, which can cause sleep deprivation.
A way to properly understand this is considering that, cats have the same nocturnal trait as their early ancestors, which is the African Wildcat. Over hundreds of years, domestication has switched the activity pattern of pet cats to be a bit more diurnal, making them awake most of the day, however, the majority of cats are more likely to wake up at least two times for the duration of the night.
That being said, cats are able to learn new behaviors that would ensure their owners have a night's rest that isn't disturbed. In this article, we shall be taking a look at how to get your cat to sleep at night as well as some possible reasons it is staying awake in the first place.
Why exactly do certain cats become more active during the night?
There are a couple theories to this, but the prevailing theory is that, since most owners are at school, work or generally out of the house during the day, the cat would be inclined to spend the majority of the day relaxing and resting, especially if it is the sole pet in the home. To a cat as such, the day only begins when its family members arrive to provide, companionship, food, social interaction and play.
Should the cat wander restlessly all over the house in the nighttime crying or meowing, it could be in pain from discomfort caused by an undiscovered medical problem. In the event that this is the case, it is best to take that cat to see a veterinarian, so the veterinarian can rule out any physiological or neurological issue.
Make time for a couple play sessions that are extremely interactive. It is best to set these in the evening time. You can make use of toys that are able to imitate the movements of birds and mice, like toys that wiggle and dangle. Games that involve softballs, furry mice and ping pong balls are wonderful for cats that love to fetch. Tire put your cat by playing with it.
It's best to feed a major meal to the cat, right before you head to bed. Should the cat continue to attempt to wake you up at night for more food, it is best to buy a timed feeder which can be filled and adjusted to dispense food, once or two times at night.
Should the cat be hungry, it will learn to stay by the feeder waiting, instead of bothering you while you sleep. When doing this, it is best to decrease meal portions, so the cat does not gain weight.
Adding a large range of activities that enrich and ensures your cat remains busy during the day. The more time your cat spends being active during the daytime, the higher the likelihood it will sleep during the night.
If the cat in question has been socialized, it can be a good decision to give it a playmate by introducing another cat to the household. This is because a solitary cat could seamlessly become bored being home alone during the day, which will cause it to expect attention from its human at night. Another cat is able to provide companionship in the daytime and will reduce the nocturnal urges your cat has to wake you up for play. This can be even more so with kittens, as they tend to have a lot more surplus energy to get rid of during their initial year of life. It can be said that two kittens can be better than just one. When the two felines are compatible, they will be most likely play with one another and let you be for the night. That being said, playing cats can get rowdy and make quite a bit of noise, which could interrupt your sleep.
Playful felines could accidentally injure their owners while they sleep. For example, the cat might notice rapid eye movement made under the lids while their owners sleep, and then proceed to play with it by swatting their human's face. Should your cat attempt to play with you or try to wake you up, it might be best to lock that cat out of the room for the night. If the cat scratches or cries at the door in an attempt to get back in, it might be necessary to discourage it by placing something in front of the door, which the cat would prefer not to step on, such as the underside of a carpet runner made of vinyl; this helps to have the knobby parts exposed, double sided tape, or aluminum foil. Alternatively, booby traps can be set just outside the door. This can be done by placing a blow dryer on the bedroom doorknob or positioning a vacuum cleaner a couple of feet away from the door. You can connect the vacuum cleaner or dryer to a remote switch. When the cat attempts to get in the room by meowing or crying outside the door, you can use the remote switch to turn on the chosen booby trap appliance. This event startles the cat and it probably wouldn't come back to that door.
In the event that you, a cat owner already has a sleeping disorder, it is advisable and imperative that your cat is not encouraged to sleep or be on your bed. This entails making the bedroom a no-go zone at all hours.
It is best to give your cat a cat bed that is not only comfortable but inviting in either a corner in the living room, a supplementary room or perhaps the bathroom. It might be necessary that a little bit of catnip will have to be rubbed on the bed at first, in a bid to encourage its use by the cat.
In the event that your cat only bothers you by launching biting, pouncing attacks on your toes, it is best to make use of darkroom shades that totally darken the bedroom. Any and all fluorescent or digital dial clocks positioned by the bedside should be replaced with versions that are non-illuminated. While cats are able to see in the extremely low light, they are unable to see in complete pitch darkness. The cats might also be encouraged to fall asleep by this lack of light.
Altering the cat's behavior might be an owner's initial course of action, however, living with and owning a cat is something that requires a bit of compromise. Changes to play schedule might take a while and require patients, so it is possible that some of your habits as an owner have to change as well.
Fix the mood and tone of the bedroom, by keeping it free of cat toys. This ensures your cat knows that the bedroom falls under a no play area.
It is true that cats can suddenly decide that paper scraps and rolled up socks are fun toys, so it is best to keep all potential toys hidden as well.
It is important to shut the bedroom door and keep it closed for the remainder of the night while you sleep.
A sound machine, fan or white noise machine can be used to cancel out any outside noise should you be a light sleeper.
Label a section or a room that is far enough from the bedroom as a play zone, so you don't hear much commotion while you sleep.
Since being nocturnal and engaging in night activities is natural for cats, it could take a bit of time for some cats to fully adjust while others are seemingly ready to rapidly alter their habits. It is important to be completely patient with your cat as that would ensure you both are much happier later on.
Except you believe your cat is attempting to wake you up because it is either sick or hurt, it is best not to get out of the bed in a bid to attend to it. Should you wake up to feed the cat, interact or even play with it, you would be accidentally encouraging and rewarding it for waking you up. This could then result in it trying even harder every following night to wake you up. It is important that you do not get out of bed to reprimand it, as that would have the adverse effect, making it think receiving negative attention is better than getting no attention.
The best thing that can be done is to fully ignore the cat. Typically, after 10 days, the cat becomes tired of this charade and stops disturbing you. Likewise, should your cat begin waking you because it is searching for food a bit too early, it is best if you as an owner, adopt a similar feline psychological approach?
This is done by ensuring you take as long as you need to get up, have some breakfast and possibly put some new clothes on, before attending to the cat. This way, the cat begins to understand that there really is no purpose in waking you up early in an attempt to get fed.
In the event that the cat continues to interrupt you while you sleep, it might be time to consider restricting the cat's access to the bedroom. This is done by ensuring it has access to a sleeping area that is not only comfortable but comes complete with a litter tray and water. Should the cat remain up and continues to prevent you from sleeping, you can offer sufficient opportunity for play, climbing and scratching. Ultimately, it will become tired and eventually go to sleep.
Cats that are typically vocal after having been locked out of a room they desire access to, should be ignored. Attending to the cat or giving it attention in any shape or form will only reward and reinforce that demanding behavior. Should you cat be excessively vocal, you could try to relocate it in an area that is soundproof such as the laundry room or a bathroom.
Sleeping outside the bedroom is not available as an option, what next?
It is imperative to keep in mind that any form of attention given to your cat at night will do nothing but further reinforce that behavior. It is categorically vital that you don't offer any form of attention, or affection to your cat. It is also important that you don't attempt to calm it down.
Should this behavior persist or your cat continues to a point where the behavior can't be ignored, it is best to attempt making use of a deterrent. Using something like an air horn, a water sprayer or making loud sudden noises that can startle and rapidly deter the cat once they begin to exhibit behavior that is inappropriate. It is best to use this method only as an out-and-out last resort.
Is there medication available that could help?
In the event that every other attempt to curb this behavior with these behavioral techniques fail and your cat is unable to fall asleep for the night, there is some medication that can be made available to help the cat fall completely asleep for the initial nights. This helps to develop a routine. It is imperative to have a word with a veterinarian first before commencing medication to help your cat sleep.
If you have a cat that refuses to sleep at night, we hope that the information above can help you in dealing with this potentially stressful situation.

Under the extraordinary chandelier and colored frescoes of what was once the bar's entry hall, the heyday of this fantastic establishment is brought to life. Here, the historic and cross-cultural sources that defined the cocktail are reinterpreted with a modern twist and a touch of French refinement.
Faithful to their origin and purpose, a seltzer siphon, a champagne tap, and other service instruments have naturally found their place in the cadenced movement of the barmen—knowledgeable hands who maintain the memories of the Roaring Twenties and the mythic muses of Paris.
At the heart of the hotel, Les Heures balances the rhythm of this house of luxury according to the time of day and around the culinary creations of the Chef. At lunch, one discovers the "improvisation menu", reinvented every two weeks by the Chef. Or choose some light compositions, ideal for the hurried palates of the business clientele and neighborhood regulars.
Moving into tea time, our pastry team presents a medley of pleasures and sweets. These delicacies anticipate the cocktail hour menu, which was developed by the Chef around the spirit of finger foods made to complement the popular cocktail hours at the end of the afternoon and late into the night.
At Les Heures, Florian Thireau sets up his bar as a small laboratory of the senses, spends hours in the kitchen preparing bases, clarifications, juices, pulps and draws a map in the spirit of the places that signature cocktails share with the great classics.

Mohamed Salah Liverpool's second best player ever, says fan, who puts Egyptian above Steven Gerrard in rankings, but Kenny Dalglish is the GOAT
Jackson Cole
21st August 2021, 8:00 am
Mohamed Salah has to be considered one of Liverpool's greatest ever players.
This is according to Reds fan Paul, who even places the 'Egyptian King' ABOVE Steven Gerrard in the rankings.
Salah has done some great things in his four years at Liverpool
But has Salah done more at Anfield than what Gerrard did?
The forward has been incredible since joining the Reds in 2017, having been a key contributor in helping them win the Champions League and Premier League.
He also boasts outstanding stats with his club. He's scored 126 goals in 204 appearances for Liverpool.
Gerrard is remembered very fondly on Merseyside. The way he almost single-handedly dragged a Liverpool side with plenty of limitations to European and FA Cup glory in 2005 and 2006 respectively makes him the club's greatest ever player in the eyes of many.
But not according to Paul, who has Salah over Gerrard. But club legend Kenny Dalglish is still top of the charts.
Dalglish won six league titles, four League Cups, three European Cups and an FA Cup as a player for Liverpool
"In the ranks of Liverpool players, Salah's right up there," Paul told Kick Off. "I'm an ardent King Kenny fan – Stevie G, Torres, Michael Owen, Salah's up there in that company.
"For the fact that he's won the Premier League and other things, I think he probably has to come in above Stevie G, which really hurts me to say.
"But I've seen Kenny Dalglish win so many things. He will always be my no.1."
Salah was Liverpool's standout player last term and got off to a brilliant start this season with a goal and two assists in their 3-0 win at Norwich.
Salah is two strikes away from 100 Premier League goals
Next up for Salah and co is a Premier League clash against Burnley on Saturday lunchtime, a match you can listen to LIVE on talkSPORT.
Burnley boss Sean Dyche, who supported Liverpool as a youngster, doesn't quite go to the same extremes as Paul but admits Salah is a 'top, top player.'
"I don't really sit there and rank players, I know they're really good, including him," Dyche told the media.
"In my years in the Premier League there have been so many top, top players in all different areas of the pitch, he's certainly proved himself to be one of them."
Paul will be expecting great things though!

The Petra Futsal competition kicked off on Monday night with Sparta Boss displaying their goal scoring prowess at the National Gymnasium, Mandela Avenue. There was no stopping Sparta Boss, who literally showed how much of a well-oiled machine they are with a 6-1 win against Globe Yard to get their campaign up and running.
There is no better way to start your campaign than with the fastest goal in the tournament and Gregory 'Jackie Chan' Richardson rocked the net three seconds into the game.
Richardson would go onto score a hat-trick with two other goals in the 10th and 16th minutes, while Devon Millington was also instrumental with a hat-trick of his own in the eighth, 20th and 23rd minutes. Globe Yard's only goal came in the ninth minute from Rolex Smith.
Tucville and Kitty Weavers had the best match of the night with Tucville emerging victorious with a 7-5 win. Dennis Edwards (2nd and 9th), Jermin Junior (5th and 15th) and Delon Williams (18th and 26th) all scored doubles, while Tefon Daly scored his lone goal in the eighth minute for the winners.
Broad Street Bullies also displayed a likeness for the back of the net with a 6-1 win against Channel-9 Warriors. Keiron Solomon was the man in form with a hat-trick to lead the way for Broad Street with goals in the seventh, 11th and 24th minutes. Jimmy Gravesande (8th), Rocky Gravesande (10th) and Lennox Cort (23rd) had solo efforts in the match.
Meanwhile, in other results, North East La Penitence topped Leopold Street 2-1, while West Back Road outplayed Festival City 2-0. Agricola Champion Boys also had a 3-2 win over North Ruimveldt.
Action in the tournament will continue on Thursday evening at the National Gymnasium from 19:00h.


I have been actively involved in bringing minimally invasive lung nodule and lung cancer evaluation to EvergreenHealth. This includes new technologies such as endobronchial ultrasound and navigational bronchoscopy. These new technologies can allow simpler, safer, and more comprehensive evaluation. My other area of special interest is in interstitial lung diseases (ILD). This includes caring for people who have cough and shortness of breath due to pulmonary fibrosis, sarcoidosis, environmental lung diseases, and rheumatological lung disease.
I believe that people can feel empowered in making the right decisions in their healthcare when they have a clear understanding of their lung disease. I help people understand how the most up to date evidence in medicine can be used to improve their quality of life.
45 patients rated this physician.

Have you told friends and family that you're trying to have a baby? If so, you may discover that some of your loved ones are (to put it nicely) jumping the gun -- whether it's your mother-in-law shopping for baby clothes, or your best friend sending you lists of popular names.
If you don't "hit the jackpot" in a month or two, these helpful people may start to offer advice. They mean well, but that doesn't make their comments any easier to take, especially if you're feeling a bit anxious yourself. The best way to deal with these remarks is to shut them down firmly but kindly: "When we have something to announce, I'll let you know. Meanwhile, let's talk about something else."
Just to show you that you're not alone, we've compiled some of the most popular (and thoughtless) remarks heard by americanbaby.com readers -- all of whom ultimately conceived, although in many cases, not soon enough for parents and friends.
1. "It will happen quicker if you relax and stop worrying."
2. "You DO know it takes sex to make a baby, right?"
3. "If you want kids, take mine! Then they can drive you crazy."
4. "I'll lend you my husband -- he just looked at me and I got pregnant."
5. "Aren't you pregnant yet?"
6. "You must be doing it wrong."
7. "You're trying too hard."
8. "Maybe it wasn't meant to be."
9. "You can always adopt."
10. "Did I tell you I'm pregnant?"

Woolaroc has 'record setting' holiday season
Woolaroc officials say 2013 has been "record setting" for the popular museum, with world-famous exhibits drawing record crowds and improvements to the facility that highlight the popular museum's existing features.
Woolaroc officials say 2013 has been �record setting� for the popular museum, with world-famous exhibits drawing record crowds and improvements to the facility that highlight the popular museum�s existing features.
�It�s been a tremendous year,� Woolaroc Museum &Wildlife Preserve CEO Bob Fraser told the Examiner-Enterprise on Friday. �I think the real trigger of this thing has been the Lewis and Clark art show.�
Fraser said the exhibit, which has been extended until April, has been �the final piece of the puzzle that we have been putting together for the last four, five or six years.�
�We�ve been doing a lot of improvements as well as getting the name out and reminding people we�re there. Building up our name with the public and our core group,� he said.
He said the real �icing on the cake,� however, is improvements to the museum.
�Some of the exhibits have been slightly moved and we hired some of the best people in the country to help with lighting,� Fraser said, adding that the renovated lighting is now state of the art museum lighting.
�By the time we were doing that much work, we had to remove the art and decided that we needed to paint and fix the walls while we were at it.�
According to Fraser, many of the pieces have been re-arranged to give a little more consistently.
�It�s a cleaner look and the result is really cool. You want to make it state of the art, but you want to retain the familiarity,� he said.
The beginning of the year looked quite a bit less rosy, coming on the heels of an armed robbery at the museum�s gift shop just two days before Christmas 2012.
It was reported at that time that the gift shop was robbed at gun-point just after 9 p.m. on Dec. 23.
The thief reportedly got away with about $4,500 of the proceeds from the day�s gift shop sales.
Fraser said there has been no official arrest for the robbery but that Osage County officials believe they know who was responsible.
�It was a horrible way to end the year. (Museum) employees we felt violated and it shook us to the core. We wouldn�t let anyone spoil this incredible thing we�ve got out there, so everyone rallied behind it and we went on and had a record year,� he said.
The rally also included a very successful 2013 �Wonderland of Lights.� The event runs on weekends through December and features more than 750,000 lights on the main campus of the museum. Hot chocolate, apple cider and fresh baked cookies are sold in the lodge while Santa sits in the main museum entrance.
�It was a big, big success. We had some bad weather but when we had a decent weekend of weather, we had really good crowds,� Fraser said.
He said the event ended up drawing close to 9,000 people.
�In the last year we had visitors from every state in the union. We have people visiting from all over the country,� he said.

COLORADO SPRINGS – New York City-based theater artists 600 Highwaymen will work with students at the University of Colorado Colorado Springs and will be in residence in GOCA1420, the campus contemporary art gallery.
The appearance is a combined effort of the UCCS Galleries of Contemporary Art and UCCS Theater and Dance program. The residency was the result of efforts by Kevin Landis, associate professor, Visual and Performing Arts Department, to connect theater students to New York's Public Theater.
Throughout October, November and December, 600 Highwaymen will work with UCCS theater and dance students to produce "The Fever," a new theater work that will premier in January at the Under the Radar Festival in New York. Two UCCS theater students will travel to New York and serve as interns on the festival.
Public performances of "The Fever" will be at 7:30 p.m. Dec. 1-4 and Dec. 7-10 at the GOCA1420 Gallery. Limited tickets will be released starting Nov. 1. Performances are free and open to the public.
"The Fever" is an amalgam of music, theater and choreography examining how humans assemble, organize and care for our own bodies and the bodies around us. The performance is inspired by Igor Stravinsky's "Rite of Spring" and invites the audience to co-create a work of art that will change from night to night.
600 Highwaymen is the moniker for theater artists Abigail Browde and Michael Silverstone. The duo has created six original works since 2009, with presentations in New York in Under The Radar (The Public Theater), Crossing the Line (French Institute Alliance Française), River to River (Lower Manhattan Cultural Council). They have also appeared at the Wexner Center for the Arts, Columbus, Ohio; International Festival of Arts & Ideas, New Haven, Connecticut; FringeArts, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; On The Boards, Seattle, Washington; Mount Tremper Arts, Mount Tremper, New York; Clarice Smith Performing Arts Center, College Park, Maryland; Fusebox Festival, Austin, Texas. In Europe, they have performed at Centre Pompidou and Parc de la Villette, France; Festival Theaterformen, Germany; Noorderzon Festival, The Netherlands; Zürcher Theater Spektakel, Switzerland. Upcoming presentations include Onassis Cultural Centre, Greece,and In BetweenTime International Festival, United Kingdom.
600 Highwaymen received an Obie Award in 2014, Zurich's ZKB Patronage Prize in 2015, and a Bessie Nomination for Outstanding Production of 2015.The company receives support from The Jerome Foundation, New England Foundation for the Arts, National Endowment for the Arts, New York State Council on the Arts, The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, Foundation for Contemporary Arts, the Puffin Foundation and numerous individual supporters.
GOCA is a regional hub of contemporary art, culture and conversation. By featuring world-class artists, hosting artist and expert talks, and offering meaningful events, GOCA engages UCCS students, faculty, staff and Pikes Peak Region community members in contemporary culture and life. GOCA is a contemporary arts organization with two galleries, one founded on the UCCS campus in 1981 and a satellite downtown location that opened in 2010 in the Plaza of the Rockies building.

Eugene Paul Wigner (; * 17. November 1902 in Budapest; † 1. Januar 1995 in Princeton, New Jersey) war ein ungarisch-amerikanischer Physiker und Nobelpreisträger.

Leben und Werk
Wigner wurde in eine jüdische Familie der Mittelklasse geboren und besuchte in den Jahren 1915 bis 1919 gemeinsam mit John von Neumann das humanistische Lutheraner-Gymnasium in Budapest. Danach studierte er Chemie-Ingenieurwesen und promovierte 1925 an der Technischen Hochschule Berlin bei Michael Polanyi mit der Arbeit "Bildung und Zerfall von Molekülen, Statistische Mechanik und Reaktionsgeschwindigkeit". Hier lernte er unter anderem Albert Einstein und Leó Szilárd kennen. In seiner freien Zeit beschäftigte er sich intensiv mit Physik. Als Besucher der Kolloquien der Deutschen Physikalischen Gesellschaft war er bald vertraut mit den aktuellen Fragen der Forschung und entwickelte eine Vorliebe für theoretische Physik. 1926 wurde er zunächst Assistent von Richard Becker an der Technischen Hochschule Berlin, der heutigen Technischen Universität Berlin.

1927 erhielt Wigner eine Anfrage von Arnold Sommerfeld, um an der Universität Göttingen als Assistent des bedeutenden Mathematikers David Hilbert zu arbeiten. Dies erwies sich jedoch als eine große Enttäuschung für ihn, weil Hilbert nicht mehr sehr produktiv war. Wigner forschte dennoch unabhängig und legte den Grundstein für die Theorie der Symmetrien in der Quantenmechanik. In seiner Göttinger Zeit leitete er die Transformation von Drehimpulseigenzuständen in der Quantenmechanik bei Rotation ab (Wignersche D-Matrix). Wigner und Hermann Weyl waren verantwortlich für die Einführung der Gruppentheorie als mathematische Methode in die Quantenmechanik. Diese bekam später (1928) eine allgemein gültige Formulierung in der Veröffentlichung Gruppentheorie und Quantenmechanik, war aber nicht leicht zu verstehen, besonders bei jüngeren Physikern. Wigners spätere Veröffentlichung von 1931, Group Theory and its Application to Quantum Mechanics of Atomic Spectra, machte Gruppentheorie eher zugänglich für einen größeren Leserkreis.

1928 kehrte Wigner nach Berlin zurück, um sich dort an der Technischen Hochschule zu habilitieren, und wurde 1930 zum nichtbeamteten außerordentlichen Professor für Theoretische Physik ernannt. Anfang der 1930er Jahre ging Wigner in die USA und arbeitete seit 1931 in Princeton. Wegen seiner jüdischen Herkunft verlor er nach der nationalsozialistischen Machtergreifung seine Position an der TH Berlin und siedelte endgültig in die USA über. Abgesehen von zwei Jahren 1936/37 als Professor für Physik an der University of Wisconsin verbrachte er sein akademisches Leben an der Princeton University als Professor für Mathematik von 1938 bis zu seiner Emeritierung im Jahre 1971. 1937 nahm er die amerikanische Staatsbürgerschaft an. Zu seinen Schülern in Princeton zählten Frederick Seitz, der spätere Präsident der National Academy of Sciences und der Rockefeller University, sowie John Bardeen, der Erfinder des Transistors und zweifache Nobelpreisträger für Physik.

Wigner war ein wissenschaftlicher Pionier, der Ende der zwanziger Jahre das Fundament für die Anwendung der Gruppentheorie in der Physik legte. Seine Darstellungstheorie der Poincarégruppe war auch in der Mathematik bahnbrechend. Gemeinsam mit seinem ungarischen Landsmann Leó Szilárd entwickelte er auch die Theorie der nuklearen Kettenreaktion und engagierte sich für das amerikanische Atombombenprojekt in Los Alamos, da er befürchtete, Hitler würde eine solche Bombe bauen lassen. Im Manhattan-Projekt plante Wigner den Bau des ersten Industrie-Reaktors, der Plutonium als bombentaugliches Material erbrüten sollte. Mit ihm gemeinsam arbeiteten auch Edward Teller, John von Neumann und Leó Szilárd. Alle vier Wissenschaftler waren ungarischer Abstammung und wurden wegen ihrer "überirdischen" geistigen Fähigkeiten von ihren amerikanischen Kollegen als "Marsianer" bezeichnet.

Neben zahlreichen Begriffen, die explizit seinen Namen tragen, siehe unten,  "generierte" er implizit zahlreiche fundamentale Techniken auf dem Gesamtgebiet der Theoretischen Physik: So geht u. a. die  vielfach benutzte Theorie der Zufallsmatrizen auf ihn zurück, da er die Spektren hochangeregter Atomkerne auf diese Weise beschrieb und nach ihrer Symmetrieeigenschaft in symplektische bzw. unitäre bzw. orthogonale Symmetrieklassen einteilte. Die Theorie erlebte später eine Renaissance im Rahmen der Theorie des Quantenchaos.

Am 18. Mai 1960 wurde Wigner, zusammen mit Szilárd, der Atoms for Peace Award, 1961 die Max-Planck-Medaille und im Jahr 1963 zusammen mit J. Hans D. Jensen und Maria Goeppert-Mayer der Nobelpreis für Physik verliehen. Er erhielt den Preis für seine zahlreichen Beiträge zur Kernphysik, unter anderem für seine Formulierung des Gesetzes der Erhaltung der Parität ("für seine Beiträge zur Theorie des Atomkerns und der Elementarteilchen, besonders durch die Entdeckung und Anwendung fundamentaler Symmetrie-Prinzipien"). Der Nobelpreisträger Wigner war beliebt und verehrt wegen seiner bescheidenen und zurückhaltenden Art.

Seine Vielseitigkeit war enorm: Mit Gian-Carlo Wick und Arthur Wightman führte er beispielsweise 1956 Super-Auswahlregeln und die innere Parität von Elementarteilchen ein.

Wigner machte sich auch philosophische Gedanken über Physik und ihr Verhältnis zur Mathematik. Sein Aufsatz The unreasonable effectiveness of mathematics in the natural sciences ist sprichwörtlich geworden. Sein Gedankenexperiment Wigners Freund vertritt eine subjektivistische Interpretation der Quantenmechanik.

Auszeichnungen und Ehrungen

Seit 1945 war er Mitglied der National Academy of Sciences und seit 1951 der Göttinger Akademie der Wissenschaften.
1944 wurde er in die American Philosophical Society und 1950 in die American Academy of Arts and Sciences gewählt. 1968 wurde Eugene P. Wigner die National Medal of Science und  1972 der Albert Einstein Award verliehen.

Seit dem 24. November 2005 ist ein Gebäude der Physikalischen Institute an der Technischen Universität Berlin nach ihm benannt.

Die Wigner-Medaille und der Eugene P. Wigner Reactor Physicist Award sind ihm zu Ehren benannt.

Am 19. Juni 2014 ehrte ihn die Stadt Göttingen mit einer Gedenktafel am Haus Wilhelm-Weber-Straße 22.

U.S. stocks keep falling, capping their worst week since the 2008 financial crisis. Goldman Sachs warned the U.S. economy may shrink 24% in the second quarter. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin says he wants direct payments to households to go out within three weeks of Congress passing a stimulus package, yet former IRS officials say checks could take months to reach Americans. Money aside, there are 256,678 confirmed cases of coronavirus worldwide, with 10,365 dead. The World Health Organization warns the pace of infections is speeding up.
Bloomberg is mapping the spread of the coronavirus globally and in the U.S. For the latest news on the outbreak, sign up for our daily newsletter.
Here are today's top stories
The Covid-19 response has brought all three levels of American government into conflict. President Donald Trump told state governors to buy their own medical supplies, but then his administration outbid them. (Trump chuckled about it). Governor Andrew Cuomo ordered New Yorkers to stay home, calling it the "most drastic action we can take." His decision though came after he repeatedly slammed his longtime nemesis, New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio, for seeking the same order.
An unapproved drug Trump keeps touting as a possible treatment for Covid-19 can kill in dosages of just two grams. Trump, when challenged by a journalist who suggested his misstatements about the medicine might give Americans false hope, hurled personal attacks at him.
Four U.S. senators (three Republicans and one Democrat) sold stock ahead of the market crash after receiving sensitive briefings on the virus in late January, fueling accusations of insider trading during a national crisis. One, Richard Burr, a Republican from North Carolina, responded to calls for his resignation by calling for a senate review of his own transactions. Trump, however, called them honorable people.
Coronavirus didn't invent the wealth gap, it just exposed divides that were already there. In the past two weeks, the sick tried and failed to get tested, workers watched their retirement savings shrivel, and thousands lost their jobs. Money and power, however, have been tickets to comfort and protection in America since its founding. This is how the wealthy jumped to the front of the line for virus tests.
The U.S. economy has never been more dependent on service jobs. More than 10% of working Americans were employed in restaurants, hotels and entertainment venues in February, and those businesses attract 8.6% of all consumer spending—about $1.3 trillion a year. The coronavirus has put more than 15 million of these jobs at risk.
Vladimir Putin isn't folding yet to what the Kremlin claims is blackmail by Saudi Arabia, signaling the oil price war Russia triggered will continue.
What's Joe Weisenthal thinking about? The Bloomberg news director says that until policy responses to the pandemic start to produce data as to their effectiveness, expect market volatility to continue.

If you're lucky enough to be spending some time in Italy as a part of your European summer, chances are you will need to fly into Milan or Rome. For me, flying into Milan made sense.
Some people love Milan, others are indifferent. My view is always – the place is as good or as bad as you make it. If you don't think you will enjoy it – limit your time there, pick things you know you'll enjoy and have fun!
If it is just a stopover, chances are you won't have much time. Don't underestimate how long it takes to get things done on holiday. There is no point stressing about trying to fit everything in – you don't need that kind of stress, it is a holiday after all. That being said, what you're going to want to do is: eat, drink, and see something that makes you actually feel like went to that particular place.
Here are some great options in Milan – make your stop over the best it can be!
This one is easy in Milan. You can't really leave Milan without seeing the Duomo. It is amazing. Its grandeur can't be reduced to words. Check the open times and hopefully your stopover allows you to go inside and check it out for yourself.
The atmosphere in the piazza is also great (be warned, there will be pigeons). It is a great spot to grab a beer from a minimart and just sit and appreciate the Duomo from the outside. If that isn't your thing and you'd prefer to have a cocktail in hand – you can't get a much better view of the Duomo than from Terrazza Aperol.
Right next to the Duomo is a shopping complex called Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, which you have to check out. The architecture is extremely impressive. Every detail from the floor to the ceiling is captivating. It could be mistaken for a cathedral in Rome.
Something else I really enjoyed was walking around Sempione Park. The grounds are well kept and luscious year round. It is a great spot for a picnic and you can also visit the Arco della Pace while you are here.
Milan is at the apex of two things: fashion and food. You are not going to struggle to find good food in Milan. However, a little bit of research always pays off.
For breakfast, head to Pave. Great coffee and oh my goodness the best pastries you will ever have! The ham and cheese croissant – amazing. Pastries for breakfast are the norm in Italy. You're not going to find bacon and eggs at any Italian breakfast spot. You're in Italy, do as the Italians do. I recommend standing at the coffee bar. Strike up a conversation with the barista or a local who is on their way to work. You'll also save on servizio (a service charge usually included when you sit down).
For a traditional Italian family dinner experience, head to Ristorante Da Oscar. The pasta is great, the portion sizes ridiculous and you are likely to be seated next to locals – immerse yourself in Italian culture. It does get busy – bookings recommended. If you can't get a booking Portobello is another great option and also close by.
If its pizza you're after, it doesn't get much better than the pies they are serving at Marghe.
Maybe you're sick of Italian food (blasphemy!) and keen for something different. The ramen at Casa Ramen is very good. However, the richness of the tonkotsu broth is toned down from traditional ramen you would expect to get in Japan. This might not be a bad thing, you are eating croissants for breakfast after all!
The craft beer scene in Milan is developing at an alarming rate. If you're into it, check out Beershow or Hops Beer Shop. Both places boasting an extensive list of international and local craft beer. The difference being, Beershop is a typical pub setting where as Hops is more of a bottle shop with the ability to sit down and enjoy beers at the same time. This provides the opportunity to speak to the people working at Hops who have great knowledge in the local craft beer scene – an opportunity you might not get elsewhere!
Enjoy your stopover in Milan – remember, it is whatever you make it.

Docosahexaenoic acid is a major n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid in bovine retinal microvessels.
Lecomte M1, Paget C, Ruggiero D, Wiernsperger N, Lagarde M.
Diabetic Microangiopathy Unit, LIPHA-INSERM U352, INSA-Lyon, Villeurbanne, France.
The aim of this study was to purify microvessels from bovine retina and also to cultivate bovine retinal endothelial cells (BRECs) or intramural pericytes, to determine their fatty acid composition. Microvessels were obtained after Dounce homogenization of the retina followed by centrifugation on albumin cushion and finally microvessels in the pellet were trapped on a 100-microns nylon filter. Contamination of microvessel preparations by neuronal tissue, assessed after both microscopic examination and western blotting with a monoclonal antibody raised against rhodopsin, was minor. In the entire bovine retina, docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) represented 23.3% of the total fatty acids and there was about three times less arachidonic acid (AA) (8.2%) than DHA. In contrast, DHA and AA levels were almost equivalent in the retinal microvessels with approximately 10% of total fatty acids. When compared with intact microvessels, the DHA proportion of confluent monolayers of both BRECs or pericytes in primary cultures dropped to approximately 2% of the total fatty acids, whereas AA was unchanged. Culture medium supplementation with unesterified DHA (10 microM) restored the DHA proportion of BRECs close to the microvascular value at the expense of linoleic acid without affecting AA very much. In contrast, DHA supplementation in pericytes increased the DHA proportion of these cells at the expense of AA. In conclusion, DHA of intact microvessels represented 10% of the total fatty acids, which was close to the AA proportion. Mild DHA supplementation of BRECs or pericytes in primary cultures restored their DHA proportion to the original microvessel value. This high percentage of polyunsaturated fatty acids in retinal microvessels should allow us to test the hypothesis that oxidation products derived from these fatty acids may be involved in the pathogenic process leading to diabetic retinopathy.

Impact of Biofield Treatment on Growth and Anatomical Characteristics of Pogostemon cablin (Benth.)
Journal: Biotechnology PDF
Published: 2012 Volume: 11 Issue: 3 Page Number: 154-162
DOI: 10.3923/biotech.2012 ISSN: 1682-296X
Authors: Shrikant A. Patil, Gopal B. Nayak, Siddhivinayak S. Barve, Rashmi P. Tembe and Rummana R. Khan
Pogostemon cablin is a known aromatic plant which is cultivated for its essential oil widely applicated in perfumery and cosmetic industries. In the present study, the effect of biofield treatment was studied on the growth of P. cablin. For this study an in vitro culture system was set up in two groups, viz., control and treatment, each of which was derived from three different explant sources, namely leaf, node and petiole. Further these in vitro plantlets were hardened and transferred to external environment. The stomatal cells and epidermal hair growth were also studied at various morphogenetic stages. The study revealed that a single spell of biofield energy treatment produced significant increase in growth in treated group throughout all the morphogenetic phases from in vitro to in vivo level. A remarkable increase in stomatal cells and epidermal hair was also seen in treated group.

Patchouli (Pogostemon cablin Benth.) is an herbaceous plant native to South and South East Asia (Maheshari et al., 1993). The leaves of the plant yield aromatic oil which is highly valued in perfumery and aromatherapy (Hasegawa et al., 1992). Indonesia is the largest producer of patchouli oil (Department of Biotechnology, 2009). However, this supply of oil is irregular due to the adverse weather conditions. The world consumption of patchouli oil is 1500 tons out of which Indian perfumery market imports over 150 tons of oil annually, as the current production in the country is only around 10 tons. India's available infrastructure and environment present us the opportunity to gain a major part of the world market for patchouli oil production. To achieve this goal a number of enhancement factors were studied to improve the quality and quantity of patchouli oil to make it readily acceptable for the perfumery industry.
In recent years, many healing modalities have come into picture based on the individual-environment energy interactions. A number of terms were coined for these energy modalities out of which "Biofield" was the term accepted worldwide (Rubik, 2002). Many attempts were made to study the biological effects of these fields on proteins, antibiotics, water, in vitro cells, bacteria, plants and animals (Chein et al., 1991; Schwartz and DeMattei, 1991; Benor, 1990; Rein, 1995; Chen et al., 2002; Mo et al., 2003; Creath and Schwartz, 2004; Baldwin and Schwartz, 2006).
So, far researchers have worked upon the healing effect of these biofields in different medical streams such as hematology, immunology, wound healing ability and other clinical applications (Krieger, 1976; Wirth, 1990; Olson et al., 1997; Movaffaghi et al., 2006). However, until now not much work has been done to study the effect of biofields on the plants in in vitro system. It has been well known that plants are complex multicellular organisms that are highly sensitive to initial assaying of effects and testing of new therapies.
The current research was undertaken to study the effect of biofield treatment on P. cablin in vitro. The research was focused on the effect of energy transfer to P. cablin plants in in vitro system and its effect on growth in different morphogenetic phases.
Plant material: The current study was carried out from January 2011-January 2012. The in vitro plantlets of P. cablin established in our plant tissue culture laboratory were used as an explant source for the present study. The leaf, node and petiole from these in vitro plantlets were used as explants for clonal propagation. In vitro initiation from these plantlets was done in triplicate at intervals of one week.
Media: Leaf, node and petiole explants obtained were cultured on Murashige and Skoog's Medium (MS) (Murashige and Skoog, 1962) supplemented with 3% (w/v) sucrose, pH 5.7. The medium was solidified using 0.8% (w/v) agar (Bacteriological grade, Marine Chemicals, Cochin, India). All the chemicals used were from Qualigens and of analytical grade. About 20 and 50 mL media was dispensed in Pyrex glass Borosil®culture tubes (25x150 mm) and culture bottles, respectively. The tubes and bottles were covered with tight fitting plastic caps. Both the culture tubes and bottles were autoclaved at 1.05 kg cm—2 for 15 min. The cultures were maintained at 25±2°C under 16 h photoperiod provided by the cool-white fluorescent tubes.
Biofield treatment modality: The biofield treatment was given to the cultures via Single Treatment method (ST). In ST the cultures were subjected to biofield treatment only once at the initiation phase. In addition to this, respective sets of control cultures that were devoid of any treatment were also maintained. Thus, two groups of cultures obtained from leaf, node and petiole explant viz., control and treated, were maintained for further study.
Establishment of in vitro cultures
Shoot initiation: Leaf, node and petiole explants obtained from in vitro plantlets were inoculated on full strength basal MS medium in glass tubes. After one week in initiation medium the treated group of cultures was subjected to a spell of treatment via ST method. The cultures were maintained on shoot initiation medium for a month. After a month they were transferred to shoot multiplication medium. At the end of the month the total number of shoots produced per explant in each set was scored and the data was analyzed by paired t-test.
Shoot multiplication: The initiated shoots from shoot initiation medium were transferred to shoot multiplication medium that is full strength basal MS medium in glass bottles. The cultures were maintained on shoot multiplication medium for five months and were subcultured after every month. The total biomass of cultures and multiplication rate was scored at the end of each month. The data was analyzed by paired t-test.
Plantlet regeneration: After about five months in shoot multiplication medium the regenerated shoots of about 2 cm in height were transferred to rooting medium which is half strength basal MS medium in glass bottles. The cultures were maintained on rooting medium for two months and were subcultured after every month. At the end of rooting phase the parameters studied were, rooting response, days required for root initiation, regeneration rate, multiplication rate, number of roots per shoot, length of root, length of shoot, number of nodes, internodal distance and total number of plantlets regenerated at the end of rooting phase. The data was analyzed by paired t-test.
Hardening of rooted plantlets: The rooted plantlets of the control and treated groups were washed under running tap water to remove traces of agar. They were treated with 1% (w/v) systemic fungicide Bavistin® for 1 min. Then they were potted in potting mixture containing soil and compost (2:1), thoroughly drenched with water. The potted plants were covered with polycaps to prevent desiccation and were kept in the green house where the humidity was 70-80% and the temperature was 26±2°C. After about ten days the polycaps were removed and the plants were sprayed with water. After another ten days the plants were repotted in bigger polythene bags containing a mixture of soil, sand and compost (3:2:1). The plants were maintained in these polybags for 20 days in the green house. They were watered and sprayed with fungicide Bavistin® and fertilizer Biozyme® alternately after every 4 days. Then the plants were transferred to the shade house. Here, they were maintained for 15 days under similar conditions, after which they were transferred to open sunlight.
Microscopic study of stomata and epidermal hairs: For this study plants were selected from 6 different morphogenetic stages, namely a month old in vitro rooted plantlet, primary hardened plants with polycaps, primary hardened plants without polycaps, secondary hardened plants, plants kept in the shade house and plants kept in sunlight. For studying stomata, the lower epidermis was taken into consideration whereas for epidermal hair study the upper epidermis was used. The slides for the study were prepared using finger nail polish imprints as follows. A small area of the leaf lamina about 1 cm2 was selected. This area was then painted with transparent finger nail polish and was allowed to dry completely for 5 min. After this a clear cellophane tape about 3 cm in length was pressed on the nail polish imprint. Then it was gently pulled off and the imprint was carefully mounted on a clean and grease free microscopic slide. The excess cellophane tape was removed with the help of a sharp blade. The slides were observed under a compound microscope initially under low magnification (10x) and then under high magnification (40x) for further study. For calculation of Stomatal index three random microscopic fields were selected under high magnification (40x). The epidermal cells and stomatal cells in each of these fields were counted and the Stomatal index was calculated using the following formula:
The epidermal hairs were studied using the photographs taken by CCD camera (Watec Digital, WAT-202D, W73-27235, Aegis Electronic Group Inc., Arizona, US) attached to the microscope (MKOW OPTIK, Scientific India, Ambala Cantt., Haryana, India) under high magnification (40x).
Shoot initiation: Three different explants were used for in vitro studies in P. cablin, namely leaf, node and petiole. Shoot initiation was seen in all the three explants in both control and treated groups after six days of initiation (Fig. 1, 2a-c). However, at the end of initiation phase, the mean number of shoots in ST was comparable to its respective control (Table 1). In treated cultures the mean number of shoots obtained from leaf explant was 7.97 which was close to its control where the mean number was 7.08. Similarly in nodal explant the mean number of shoots in control and treated cultures was 10.85 and 9.57, respectively. On the contrary, in case of petiole explant, the mean number of shoots in treated was less that is 7.9 as compared to 8.73 in its respective control.
Shoot multiplication: Multiple shoot proliferation was studied over a period of five months. At the end of the first month, treatment showed increase in biomass comparable to the control (Fig. 1d-f). Later at the end of the second month, the treatment showed a significant increase in biomass in cultures derived from leaf and petiole explants. The increase in biomass in treated cultures was 2.23 and 2.4 g compared to 2.12 and 2.08 g in control cultures. However, at the end of the third month the control group showed significant increase
in biomass in cultures derived from leaf, node and petiole explants over the treated group. Further at the end of the fourth month ST was seen effective for all the three explants, leaf, node and petiole, with an increase in biomass which was 3.06, 3.12 and 3.04 g, respectively (Table 2) (Fig. 2d-f). Similar results were obtained at the end of the fifth month where ST was seen effective in all the three explants with an increase in biomass up to 3.17, 3.07 and 3.17 g compared to its control. Thus, it was observed that in the entire multiple shoot proliferation phase the cultures from all the three explants showed increase in biomass in the treated group.
Plantlet regeneration: Plantlet regeneration was studied over a period of two months. Both control and treated cultures showed 100% rooting (Fig. 1g-i). It was seen that treated cultures required less days for root initiation as compared to their respective control. The number of days required for rooting in treated cultures was 8 days whereas control cultures showed root initiation at the end of 10 days (Table 3). The plantlet multiplication rate in both control and treated cultures was found to be identical. However, the plantlet regeneration rate in cultures treated with ST was significantly high (Fig. 2g-i). It was as high as 2.76, 4.58 and 1.41 in treated group when compared with 1.0 in control group for all the three explants. On an average the treatment shows 3 fold increase in total number of plantlets regenerated when compared to its respective control (Table 3). Further, treated cultures showed significant increase in mean number of roots produced per shoot which was 17 as compared to 11 in control cultures (Table 4). The length of roots, length of shoots, total number of nodes, internodal distance and length of entire plant in treated group were comparable to the control group (Table 4).
Hardening of rooted plantlets: A mixture of soil and sand (2:1) was used for initial acclimatization of plants. The plants survived and acclimatized well in the above potting mixture. The survival percentage was 98, 95 and 90% for plants derived from leaf, node and petiole explant, respectively in both treated as well as control groups. Later the plants were maintained in sand, soil and

compost (3:2:1) for further growth with 100% survival rate. On transferring to the shade house both the groups of plants showed vigorous growth. However, the plants from treated group showed more number of nodes which resulted in increase in height as compared to control group (Fig. 3a, c and e). Also the treated plants appeared healthy and the leaves were mature and deeply veined as compared to control plants (Fig. 3b, d and f). At the end of 3 months they were ready for field cultivation.

Microscopic study of stomatal index and epidermal hairs: It was observed that the SI in both control and treated plants showed a decrease when the plants were transferred from in vitro to in vivo phases. It decreased from 0.2970, 0.2932 and 0.2698 to 0.1913, 0.2099 and 0.2336 in plants derived from leaf, node and petiole explants respectively in control group (Table 5). A similar decrease in SI was seen from 0.3312, 0.3054 and 0.3088 to 0.2711, 0.2834 and 0.2862 in plants derived from leaf, node and petiole, respectively in treated group (Table 5). Later with

the progressive hardening process the SI showed a gradual increase in both control and treated groups. However, the SI in treated plants was high compared to the respective control plants (Fig. 4a, b). It was as high as 0.4330, 0.3314 and 0.3409 when compared to 0.3328, 0.3002 and 0.2476 in plants derived from leaf, node and petiole explants in treated and control groups, respectively (Table 5). Similarly, the epidermal hair study revealed that, in the initial phase of morphogenesis, the number of glandular hairs is very less; however, a gradual change from in vitro to in vivo phase results in increased number of glandular hairs. When control and treated groups were

compared, it was observed that the upper epidermis of leaves of treated plants showed more glandular hairs (Fig. 4c, d). The increase in number of glandular hairs is evidently seen from the photographs taken.
The biofield energy transferred to in vitro cultures of P. cablin was observed to show significant effect on plant growth at different morphogenetic stages. In the initiation phase ST was found to be comparable to control. Though in multiple shoot proliferation phase the treatment showed varied effect on cultures derived from all the three explants in terms of biomass yield, a significant effect was seen in plantlet regeneration phase where total number of plantlets regenerated in treated group was nearly thrice than that of control group. There were certain changes which were seen in plants treated with ST. It was observed that morphologically treated plants were healthier as compared to control. Similarly 100% response, less days required for regeneration, increase in root and shoot number and increase in biomass were some of the evidently seen effects in treated cultures which were significant when compared with their respective control cultures.
Microscopic study of stomata and epidermal hairs further supported the superiority of treated plants over control. From in vitro to in vivo phases, a gradual decrease in light intensity results in decrease in stomatal index in all plants. Further as the light intensity increases during progressive hardening phases there is a gradual increase in stomatal index in all plants. Thus, stomatal index is found to be directly correlated to light intensity in surrounding conditions. This is in correlation to previous studies which showed that increase in light intensity results in increase in stomatal index (Lake et al., 2001). Study of epidermal hairs showed similar increases in treated plants in later phases of hardening. Also this number was high when compared to control plants. Increase in glandular hairs would directly contribute to increase in oil yield in treated plants. This increase in essential oil content as a result of biofield treatment will add to the economic value of the P. cablin plants which can be further subjected to large scale cultivation.
Till date, very few findings are available in which work was conducted to study the effect of biofields on living systems in vitro. Researchers have worked upon the effect of Reiki treatment on bacterial cultures with respect to its healing context (Rubik et al., 2006). Also the effect of music, noise and sound has been studied in seed germination assays (Creath and Schwartz, 2004). However, this is for the first time that attempts were made to study the effect of biofield treatment on the entire regeneration phase of a plant in in vitro system.
It was observed that a single spell of energy transfer in treated group is effective in enhancing the growth to a significantly higher rate as compared to the control group in P. cablin plants. However, these observations are in respect to the effect of biofield treatment at various morphogenetic stages at in vitro and acclimatization phases. Further these regenerated plantlets will be subjected to screening methods at morphological, phytochemical and molecular levels. These further studies may reveal a deeper impact of the biofield energy on plant systems at various levels.

Q: g_signal_connect in loop is good idea? Ok, so I have a custom GObject to handle network creation, to notify connected handlers I created a signal in the class_init_function (core is singleton object):
static void sample_core_class_init (SampleCore *klass)
{
  sample_core_signals[NETWORK_CREATE] = g_signal_new(
    "network-create",
    G_TYPE_FROM_CLASS(klass),
    G_SIGNAL_RUN_LAST,
    0,
    NULL,
    NULL,
    NULL,
    G_TYPE_NONE,
    1,
    G_TYPE_INT /* Keycode */
  );
}

network_create(){
    int network_handle;
    /* will do some internal work*/
    g_signal_emit(core, sample_core_signals[NETWORK_CREATE], 0, network_handle);
}

and g_signal_connect will be written in a loop in different file because I have to create few networks for a single context
struct my_struct{
   int cur_network_id;
}

void on_create_cb(core, gpointer data){
   my_struct *user_data = (my_struct *) data;
   printf("cure_network_id %d", user_data->cur_network_id);  // will print 0 0 0 1 1 1 2 2 2
}

void function(){
    for(int index=0;index<3;index++){
       my_struct *user_data = g_malloc0(sizeof(my_struct));
       network_create();
       user_data->cur_network_id = index;
       g_signal_connect(core, "make", G_CALLBACK(on_create_cb), user_data );
    }
}

g_signal_connect is asynchronous so function() will finish first and then call backs will be hit.
In function() there will be 3 signal connect -> g_signal_connect(....,user_data1), g_signal_connect(....,user_data2) and g_signal_connect(....,user_data3)
so when there is g_signal_emit called then this will connect with all 3 g_signal_connect therefore
for this loop of size 3, on_create_cb will be hit for 9 times.
How this can be handled accurately? Can g_signal_connect be used in a loop?
