Bhone Manzabta is a village and union council in Okara District, Punjab, Pakistan. It is part of Depalpur Tehsil. Bhone Manzebta is situated equidistant between Basirpur and Hujra Shahmuqeem.

Bhone Manzebta village is of considerable antiquity and is located near Behlolpur.

The village has two access roads. One issues from the Basirpur-Depalpur road at Thokar Gama Wahgra and passes through villages Dhabby and Somian Bholo. The other issues from the Hujra-Haveli road at the point of Paeray Wala. The population is predominantly agriculturist. The village is inhabited by Dogars (the family of Sardar Noor Ahmad Dogar) who seek the betterment of the people of Bhone Manzabta, followed by his sons Sardar Haji Muhammad Dais, Haji Muhammad Nawaz and Sardar Muhammad Ali. They always think about the people of the village. Later Sardar Ahmad Hassan Dogar had a seat of vice chairman. Sardar Saleem Haider Dogar was a Consular who migrated to the village from India on the eve of partition in 1948. Bhone Manzabta is a village full of old memories like the gate of Sukha House and a gurdwara which shows the old civilization of this village. All the facilities are available here: Govt Middle School for boys and primary school for girls, union council, a BHQ and a hospital for animals.

Q: Why do we first introduce the open set definition for continuity instead of the neighborhood definition? After (nearly) completing my course in topology, something weird just stuck out to me which I hadn't considered before. When first discussing continuity, we often use the following definition:

Let $X$ and $Y$ be topological spaces. We say that $f:X\to Y$ is continuous if for every open set $V\in Y$, $f^{-1}(V)$ is open in $X$.

This is a rather opaque definition and isn't quite as easily relatable to the notion we develop on $\Bbb R$ as the following definition:

Let $X$ and $Y$ be topological spaces. We say that $f:X\to Y$ is continuous if for each $x\in X$ and neighborhood $V$ containing $f(x)$, there is a neighborhood $U$ of $x$ such that $f(U)\subseteq V$.

These are of course equivalent definitions. However the latter is quite easy to connect to our normal intuition built up from real analysis: if our $x$-values are "close", then our $y$-values must be "close." Pedagogically, why have we somewhat cast away the latter definition as a mere equivalence and opted for the former? Clearly the latter is what led to the former and is, arguably, easier to latch on to. Is this somewhat of a byproduct of the category-theoretic nature of the former (with $f$ being a morphism of topological spaces) and math's general trend towards category-theoretic personifications? Can it also be attributed to early topologists wanting to separate topology from analysis in this way?

A: You can already see that your version involving neighborhoods is more complicated than the version involving open sets. In general, I find proving things much easier in terms of open sets, and neighborhoods are mainly for doing things that look like calculations.
An important point is that topology is more clearly expressed in terms of open sets. When you talk about topology via a basis of open neighborhoods, it obscures what the topological space actually is. If I topologize the plane where my neighborhoods are the interiors of squares, is that a different topological space than if I take the open discs as neighborhoods?
So if you define the notion of topological space in terms of open sets, you then have (at least) two choices about how to introduce continuous functions:

*

*Introduce them in terms of the open sets

*Introduce the notion of a basis for the topology, then define continuity in terms of a basis

I think the second choice would obscure things more. Not only do you delay introducing the notion of continuity, but the definition is also resting upon more complex ideas.

A: I think it is a pity that the definition of a continuous function isn't more intuitive. A lot of students have difficult to grasp topology even though it shouldn't be so and a more intuitive approach would make their studies much easier. The usual definition should be a theorem in my opinion. Given a function $f:X\to Y$, my favorite definition is:

*

*For all sets $B\subset Y$, it holds that $x\in
   \overline{f^{-1}(B)}\Rightarrow f(x)\in \overline{B}$

that tells me something like "if $x$ is close to $f^{-1}(B)$ then $f(x)$ must be close to
$B$".

A: One can define the seemingly different concept of a neighborhood space: one defines at each point $x\in X$ a set ${\scr N}_x$ called the neighborhoods of $x$ such that ${\scr N}_x$ isa filter with respect to inclusion (it's nonempty, while $N\in{\scr N}_x$ and $N'\supseteq N$ then $N'\in {\scr N}_x$, and $N,N'\in {\scr N}_x$ then $N\cap N'\in {\scr N}_x$), and is such that for any $N\in {\scr N}_x$ there is ${\scr N}_x\ni O\subseteq N$ such that $O\in {\scr N}_y$ for every $y\in O$. You can check that the set of neighborhoods of a point (the collection of sets containing an open set that contains the point) satisfies this. Conversely, defining an open set in a neighborhood space as a set that is a neighborhood of each of its points yields a topology. It is verified this construction is bijective, so indeed one sees we can specify a topology by specifying a neighborhood system at each point.  The definition of continuity is what one expects: a function $f:X \to Y$ is continuous at a point $x\in X$ iff for every neighborhood $N$ of $f(x)$, $f^{-1}(N)$ is a neighborhood of $x$.
Sometimes one simply needs to specify a neighborhood basis ${\scr B}_x$, which is slightly weaker: this is a nonempty collection of sets that contain $x$, such that  $B,B'\in{\scr B}_x$, there is a third ${\scr B}_x\ni B''\subseteq B'\cap B$ (so this set is directed), and such that for any $B\in {\scr B}_x$ there is $x\in V\subseteq B$ such that $V$ contains an element of ${\scr B}_y$ for each $y\in V$. The clearest example of such a collection is the set of open balls $B(x,\varepsilon),\varepsilon >0$ in a metric space. These are called basic neighborhoods at the point $x$, and the point is that $U\in{\scr N}_x$ iff $U$ contains some $V\in {\scr B}_x$. Here one can specify possibly different systems of basic neighborhoods at a point (for example $B_n=B(x,n^{-1})$ or $V_n=B(x,n^{-2})$. For the space obtained to inherit the same topology, it is necessary and sufficient that every basic neighborhood of one collection contains a basic neighborhood of the other (much like how one checks two metrics are equivalent, i.e. that they give rise to the same topology.)
This might seem cumbersome at first, but it allows for more exotic definitions of topological spaces in (maybe?) a simpler manner: consider the closed upper half plane. Topologize it as follows: for interior points, the basic neighborhoods are the open balls lying inside the open half plane. For points on the real line, the neighborhoods are open balls tangent to the point in question, plus this point. This is a space that is separable (this is easy to check!) but is not second countable, hence it cannot be metrizable.

A: I think it is just useful to have alternative (equivalent) definitions for terms in topology. There are of course even more ways of characterizing continuity: $f:X\to Y$ is continuous iff $\overline {f[A]}\supseteq f[\overline A]$ for all $A\subseteq X$. It takes some arguing to show these are equivalent.  I recall that the definition I just gave was particularly useful when I wanted to prove continuity of the Stone-Cech extension $\beta f:\beta X \to Y$ of a continuous function $f:X\to Y$ from $X$ into a compact Hausdorff space $Y$. The proof was almost immediate.  Here are some more that come to mind:
$X$ is connected if

*

*there is no proper clopen subset of $X$

*$X$ is not the union of two nonempty disjoint closed sets

*$X$ is not the union of two nonempty disjoint open sets

*$X$ is not the union of two nonempty sets, neither of which contains a point or limit point of the other.

$X$ is T$_1$ if

*

*for any distinct $x,y\in X$ there exists an open set containing $x$ missing $y$

*every singleton is closed in $X$

It is pretty easy to show that those are equivalent. The following are not so trivial, and if you work in continuum theory you will frequently want to use different versions:
A connected compact Hausdorff space $X$ is indecomposable if

*

*$X$ is not the union of two proper closed connected subsets

*every proper closed connected subset of $X$ is nowhere dense

*for any nonempty open $U,V\subseteq X$, $X$ is the union of two closed sets both of which intersect $U$ and whose intersection is contained in $V$

In short, it makes life much easier when you have equivalent definitions.
Now why is the first definition of continuity you gave the standard definition?  My guess is because it is the most elementary and easy to read.

A: It isn't an answer to your question, but it's too long for a comment. I prefer the open-sets definition (as opposed to what I'll call the points definition) for a few reasons.
First, it is simple. It quantifies over only one type of object (open sets) whereas the points definition quantifies over two (points and sets). I know that at the end of the day, everything is a set, but, hey, mathematicians do think in types!
Second, it is economical. A topology is a designation of precisely which subsets of $X$ we are considering to be open; nowhere in the definition of a topology are we considering the points of $X$ individually (it could be argued that "$X\in \tau$" considers them, but only in their entirety!). Whether a function is continuous or not depends solely on the topology, so it is nice to have a definition which depends solely on the topology.
Indeed (and this could be a third reason), continuity has a nice functorial description. The inverse image functor takes a map $f:X\to Y$ and gives you a map $f^*:P(Y)\to P(X)$ defined by $f^*(U) = \{x\in X : f(x)\in U\}$. The direct image functor takes a map $g:A\to B$ and gives you a map $g_*:P(A)\to P(B)$ defined by $g_*(C) = \{g(x): x\in C\}$. Now, a map $f:(X,\tau)\to(Y,\tau')$ between topological spaces is continuous if and only if $(f^*)_*(\tau')\subseteq \tau$ (with equality if and only if $f$ is a homeomorphism). In particular, automorphisms of $(X,\tau)$ are precisely permutations $f$ of $X$ such that $(f^*)_*$ fixes $\tau$.

phillip simmonds named to staff at sportime / john mcenroe academy
February 13, 2013 By Erwin Leave a Comment
Long Island native and recent ATP Tour professional player Phillip Simmonds has joined the staff at the SPORTIME location in Syosset, N.Y., and at the John McEnroe Tennis Academy Annex at the SPORTIME location in Bethpage, N.Y., it was announced by SPORTIME CEO Claude Okin. Fresh off a successful junior and pro career, Simmonds joins fellow pro Robert Kendrick, who has been Director of Tennis at SPORTIME Syosset since September 2012 and who helped bring the 28-year old into the Sportime fold.
Born in Selden, N.Y., Simmonds won nine ITF Futures and three USTA Challenger titles while achieving a career-best rank of #200 in the world. He played in the US Open main draw singles in 2006 and in US Open main draw doubles in 2004, 2006 and 2007. A member of the 2002 U.S. Junior Davis Cup team that reached the finals, Simmonds was semi-finalist at the French Open and Wimbledon juniors and won the prestigious Orange Bowl in 2002 and the Australian Open Junior Doubles in 2003.
"Adding a new, young coach, with junior and professional experience and accomplishments of Phillip Simmonds is a big boost for SPORTIME Syosset and for the John McEnroe Tennis Academy," said Okin. "He has already shown us that he is a great teacher and motivator. He is a great guy and a great colleague and, best of all, he is a native Long Islander. We are pleased and fortunate to have Phillip at SPORTIME."
"I am excited about the opportunity to return home and to start taking what I have learned from my decades of experience as a tournament player and sharing it with students at SPORTIME and at the John McEnroe Tennis Academy. Of course I can't wait to work with our juniors, but I am also having fun with our adult and recreational players," said Simmonds. "So far I am very excited about this next chapter in my career in the sport."

The tally of injured in assaults, fights, and stabbings during France's "yellow vest" protests against fuel price hikes has jumped to more than 400 after a restive night.
The protests, largely orchestrated on social media and which aimed to prevent road access to some fuel depots and airports, have also drawn broader support from some voters dissatisfied with Mr Macron's economic reforms and his governing style.
The protester was killed when a driver caught in traffic accelerated in a panic at Pont-de-Beauvoisin, near Chambery, said Louis Laugier, the prefect, or top state official, in the eastern Savoie region.
At least 227 people were injured across France, including six seriously, according to the interior ministry, which estimated that almost 283,000 demonstrators took part in Saturday's protests.
By early evening, 73 people had been taken into custody, and some demonstrators were still in place at nightfall. Protests were reported Sunday several regions across France. She accidentally struck and killed a woman in her 60s, the interior ministry said.
The "yellow-vest" movement called for people wearing high-visibility jackets to block motorway exits, fuel depots and roundabouts in hundreds of events planned across France.
With nearly 80 per cent of the public backing the "yellow vest" protests, the president held a crisis meeting to find ways of softening the impact on the poor and came up with a raft of sweeteners worth around €500 million.
Drivers blocked roads across the country in a new challenge to embattled President Emmanuel Macron.
Riot police used tear gas to drive protesters away from the residence of President Emmanuel Macron last night after a day of rage against the government in which more than a quarter of a million people blocked roads at more than 2,300 points across the country from Brittany in the west to the Côte d'Azur in the south.
"Macron is the president of the rich and not the poor".
The taxes are part of Macron's strategy to wean France off fossil fuels.
Taxes on diesel fuel have gone up 7 euro cents (nearly 8 US cents) and are to keep climbing in the coming years, Transport Minister Elisabeth Borne has said. And in a TV interview this week Macron admitted that he had "not succeeded in reconciling the French with their leaders" and "we have probably not given them enough consideration".
Protesters bloc the traffic on the Place de la Concorde in Paris.


Telus provided outsourced solutions to customers across Canada. Through its growth strategy most employees who joined the Division were not there by choice but due to acquisition. Each employee needed to be integrated into the Telus Culture – which is customer facing, and commercially driven, unlike the previous cultures these new employees were accustomed to.
Dynamic Achievement was hired to help the organization analyze and define what it needed to do to move the business forward. The process started with a deep understanding of where the business needed to get to (its aspirational future), analysis of where it currently stood (its current reality), and the development of a customized approach to close that gap. Eitan's exceptional thought provoking questioning skills quickly got to the heart of the matter. He challenged the status quo for the benefit of the business. And his methodology around culture and mindset helped people to fully appreciate how the culture of the business is critical to its success in such a competitive marketplace.
Due to this engagement, Dynamic Achievement helped to improve employee engagement from 43% to 65%; they changed the mindset of all leaders helping them understand the importance of building a culture of excellence; their work on individual's mindsets inspired an exhilarating message that was taken back into people's lives at home and in service of customers.
Our organization has recently gone through an ambitious transformation to becoming a cohesive, national organization. Our company recognizes that if we are to fulfill on our growth strategy, leadership from our executives, managers and sales professionals is paramount to our success. Eitan has been invaluable in working with our leaders to help each of them become aware of their individual leadership styles and the impact that each of them has on the culture of our organization.

Alpines Museum
The museum for mountain fanatics
The German Alpine Club's Alpine Museum is packed with information about the mountain landscape, and is a must for anyone who is fascinated by the Alps.
alpines-museum@alpenverein.de
Munich simply wouldn't be Munich without its proximity to the Alps, a favourite haunt of locals for sport and leisure or simply to get away from it all. The Alpine Museum in the Lehel district promises a wealth of interesting variety, from the permanent "The History of Mountaineering" exhibition through to rotating special shows and studio displays that explore particular topics in depth. The permanent exhibition shows visitors how people have been conquering the mountain faces, peaks and cliffs since the 17th century.
In addition to old pieces of equipment that tell their own clear story, there will be a wealth of wonderful paintings of captivating landscapes, graphics and photos. The Schlagintweit family collection includes over two hundred water colours, drawings and lithographs of their ancestors' travels to India and Central Asia, and so forms the centre piece of the Alpine Museum. To preserve the works, they can unfortunately be shown only occasionally, so please check what special exhibitions are on display before your visit.
The Alpine Museum was destroyed in the Second World War and rebuilt and opened again by the German Alpine Club in 1996. The subject of nature is widely explored, along with many varied aspects of science, tourism and sport. The museum also hosts literary readings, expert discussions, lectures and book launches. Go to our website to see what's coming up next. The museum's Café Isarlust serves visitors with delicious cakes and hearty local Alpine dishes. If the weather's good, sit in the garden and enjoy the sense of a brief escape within touching distance of the Alpine mountains.
The Alpine Museum promises no end of variety to entertain and interest its visitors. A visit to the Praterinsel (island) is guaranteed to whet your appetite for your own adventures in the mountains.

Humans have dumped pollutants into our oceans to such a degree that we, and the earth, are finally paying an ultimate price. Oceanic dead zones are areas in the oceans with such a high level of toxins and pollutants that no life can exist. The pollutants remove all of the oxygen from that area, and the results are beyond what any horror movie could produce.
The examination of dead zones in the ocean are of critical concern, as it has a catastrophic effect on oceanic life and eventually our own ecology which extends into the fishing industries. New research is being done to see if they can literally breathe life into these dead zones with the infusion of oxygen. The attempt is being made to try to revive these ecosystems and repair the damage that we have done.

Below Bridal Veil falls in Yosemite, the runoff splits into 3 separate streams before flowing into the Merced river. It's a wonderfully photographic area that often gets over looked by the throng of tourists that come see the falls every day. The platform at the base of the falls is frequently the only place that they stop and look. In terms of photographing the falls, in it's entirety, the parking lot is actually a better vantage point.
I like to work this area while it's in shade or on an overcast day. The patterns, colors and motion give limitless subjects. It's an especially nice area in the fall when a carpet of leaves add accents against the wet granite.
My usual tool of choice is my 100-400. I often don't even bring my other lenses when I'm bouldering up one of the streams. Using a long lens, I'm able to isolate tiny cascades or create abstractions. I find that approach much more interesting than trying to capture a grand vista. I generally start at the bottom of the 3rd stream and work my way up, over the boulders, to the platform at the top and then walk down. Walking and climbing over the wet granite isn't without hazards. I've slipped and fallen a number of time but I keep going back.
This image was taken near the top of the middle stream. I was at 400mm on my Canon 5D. I set the exposure to 1/8 second at f/16 and ISO 100. I wanted to maintain the feeling of motion in the water without loosing the detail and feel of the surface of the water. I also made sure that I had the snow "tack sharp" to add a contrasting texture to the scene.

To minimize damage to structures during flood events, the County requires all new construction in the floodplain to be anchored against movement by floodwaters, resistant to flood forces, constructed with flood-resistant materials, and flood- proofed or elevated so that the first floor of living space, as well as all mechanical and services, is at least one foot above the elevation of the 100-year flood. These standards apply to new structures and to substantial improvements of existing structures.
The County defines a substantial improvement as any reconstruction, rehabilitation, or addition to an existing structure, the cost of which exceeds 50% of the structure's appraised or market value (whichever the builder chooses to use).
Contact the Blaine County Land Use and Building Services for more information at 208-788-5570. Additionally, most other types of development within the floodplain also require a Special use permit, such as grading, cut and fill, installation of riprap, and other bank stabilization techniques. County staff is available to undertake site visits, if requested, to review flood, riparian and setback issues.

The Rydell Visual Arts Fellowship Program
Donors, Nonprofits
About the Rydells
Roy and Frances Rydell arrived in Santa Cruz in 1947 from Hollywood, California, drawn by its rural beauty. Roy, an architect and artist, and Frances, an animal lover bought the old Oceanview School in Bonny Doon, which they restored, expanded, and filled with their varied creative interests. They became active in the community, supporting organizations such as the Santa Cruz Museum of Art & History where Roy was a key fundraiser in the mid-1980s. The Rydells were also early advocates of the Community Foundation and in 1985, started our first donor advised fund. Understanding the importance of a permanent resource for visual artists, they established the Roy and Frances Visual Arts Fund through which they facilitated grants to a variety of local arts organizations.
Friends of the Rydells always comment on their personal style and attention to detail. Nowhere is this more evident than in their bequest of their entire estate to the Community Foundation for the Rydell Visual Arts Fund. Predeceased by Frances (1998), Roy passed away in 2000 leaving an indelible impression on the people who knew them, a charitable gift to the Foundation, and an enduring benefit to the arts and artists of our community.
"Beauty in the home, in the garden, and in the community." -Roy & Frances Rydell
About the Fellowship Program
Roy and Frances Rydell established the Roy and Frances Rydell Visual Arts Fund in 1985 to promote local visual artists and arts organizations. Following their passing, their estate was bequeathed to the Foundation, with the proceeds of the sale helping to grow the fund to its current level of over $2 million. The Rydell Visual Arts Fellowship program was developed by the Community Foundation Santa Cruz County in collaboration with the local arts community to honor the wishes and intent of the Rydells in establishing the fund. Now in its 14th year, the fellowship program, including the latest group of fellows, has awarded $600,000 directly to artists.
The fellowships help individual visual artists pursue their creative work and are made solely on the merits of their artistry and not tied to the completion of any specific projects. Nominating organizations are asked to consider the broad disciplines the Rydells thought of as part of the visual arts: painting, drawing, printmaking, ceramics, sculpture, installation, mixed media, stage set design, photography, costume design, textiles, glass, film and video. Judges are comprised of a panel of three internationally-recognized arts professionals.
The 2018 & 2019 Rydell Fellows will be featured in the Rydell Visual Arts Fellowship Exhibition at r. blitzer Gallery in downtown Santa Cruz from February 7-March 28, 2020.

The Beijing Marathon - Pollution and Performance
Yesterday bought the sensational news that Haile Gebrselassie had made the "99% sure" decision to withdraw from the Olympic Marathon in Beijing and rather enter the 10,000m event.
His reason? The pollution, combined with his asthma, the heat and the humidity in Beijing posed a risk to his health, and he did not wish to compromise his chances in the 2012 London Olympics, or his ambition to run a 2:03 Marathon in the future.
Gebrselassie is a great athlete, maybe the greatest ever, but this story has a bizarre sound to it. For one thing, to make a decision now based on a race he hopes to run in four years' time, when there's even less chance of being competitive (he'll be 39, at the end of a career that has lasted 19 years!) does not seem a very sound one.
Secondly, it's highly unlikely that running the marathon in Beijing would affect his health in the long term. What it might do (and we'll get to this later) is affect his performance in the short term! That is, he might not have a very good race, perhaps, and worst case scenario, he'd be forced to bail from the race with breathing difficulties. But to suggest that his marathon running future is at stake is a little extreme.
Third, the pollution in Beijing is something of an unknown quantity, in that no one can say with any certainty how it will affect performances. To make a decision like this, fully 5 months out from the Olympics, seems to be jumping the gun a little. However, since we only know what is reported in the media, any speculation as to the process he followed (that is, consulting experts, visiting and trying to run in Beijing etc.) would be pretty wild. So instead of speculating wildly, I thought it better to dig up some information on the Beijing Marathon and see if it might be a guide as to what we could expect.
Performances in the Beijing Marathon - are they a guide to what we can expect?
This morning, I received an email from Amby Burfoot, providing a link to a really great site for statistics and marathon information.
The site has records on the Beijing Marathon, which is run every year in October. Some of these statistics are shown in the table below:
So, of interest is that despite not attracting a world class field of sub-2:07 men and 2:22 women, the times in Beijing (in October, at least) are quite decent - a 2:11:00 seems pedestrian compared to what we've seen in recent times in London, Berlin and Chicago, but it's by no means a disaster, particularly considering the relative weakness of the field. The worst performances in the last 12 years, incidentally, are more likely due to weak fields than any weather conditions, because in 2000, when the men were particularly slow, the women's winning time was 2:26, which is reasonable, and close to the overall average. Similarly, in 2006, when the women were slow, the men's race was won in 2:10:36, suggesting that conditions were not too hostile for fast times.
Speaking of conditions, what do we expect of Beijing?
Admittedly, the weather in October changes between August, when the Olympic Marathon takes place, and mid-October, when the Beijing Marathon is run. The weather stats are shown below:
The change in minimum temperature is particularly marked, I was surprised at how large it was. That 13 degree difference would of course have a profound effect on performances. Similarly, the change in relative humidity is significant. So the environmental conditions, it would seem, are a very real factor. But then we've known that all along, and it's going to be no hotter in Beijing than it was in Osaka last year for the World Championships, where times were slower, but it certainly was not impossible to run. And then of course, this is an issue mainly about pollution, not heat. The above racing performances seem to suggest that the pollution in Beijing is not so bad that it slows athletes down profoundly. Then again, one might argue that these athletes don't have asthma, as Gebrselassie apparently does...
The comparison between the Beijing Marathon and the Olympic Marathon therefore probably leaves us with more questions than answers! The two big unknowns, of course, are:
What is the pollution level in August compared to October?
How much does pollution, heat and humidity affect the very best elite athletes?
If anyone out there has access to pollution statistics in Beijing, please let us know! It would be interesting, as one commenter noted in the previous post, to compare London to Beijing. Again, this would serve only to provide some level of numerical comparison, just as the comparision between October and August does, because to actually predict performance implications based on this is not quite as simple as one might have hoped!
I'm sure there's a lot left in this story, and certainly in the pollution in Beijing story. We'll follow its developments!

Hammstah said...
Wonderfully written, ended it with the right questions to be asked.
If the air is unbreathable for athletes, what makes it breathable for China's own citizens? And why haven't they had the same concern for their own people's health?! How does China's pollution effect surrounding countries, let alone the world.
I suppose the Olympics has been an eye opener to China. If they can successfully bring their pollution levels down, especially with them starting so high, maybe the rest of the world should follow in their footsteps for cleaner air. Granted, China is taking drastic measures, but if the rest of the world were to use their ideas in small doses, slowly everywhere would be better.
Hi Julia
The air in Beijing poses a major problem for the citizens. In our second article on this topic, written last year in November, we actually wrote about some of the things that it affects in Beijing.
For example, on some days, the visibility in Beijing is down to 50m because of the pollution, and it is so bad, that they have to postpone or delay flights.
It's also been reported that children and elderly people are warned to stay indoors, and that people who have to be outside must wear protective face masks! So it's certainly not optimal or breathable - it's just that they have no alternative. And from what I've seen and read about the way things are going in China, the people's health is the least of their worries - 11% economic growth, and billions to choose from, there isn't much the people can do to change things in the "machine".
You can read this post at:
Beijing Pollution concern
Also, they don't have ventilation rates in the hundreds of liters per minute. Remember, an elite athlete is going to be breathing at a seriously high rate and volume, the result of which is a total movement of air over the lungs that is far greater (as a rate) than any normal citizen. And this is the big mystery around Beijing - will it affect the athletes?
Having said this, I take your point, and hope they do sort it out. But honestly, if it's as bad as people are suggesting it will be, then the Olympics might well take the athlete's breath away!
Clearly Geb's reading this ;-), because now he says He does not want to rule anything out ... http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/olympics/athletics/7292427.stm
Hi Lorenzo
I wish I could claim that he reads this blog and that we changed his mind!
But I must say I'm not surprised (I would be if he read this though!), because he's done this before - it was World Championships in 1997 I think, where he said he would not run because the track was too hard! If I remember correctly, he asked the stadium managers to pour water on the track, to soften it up! (it read a lot like this story you sent through!)
They refused, so he withdrew. The next thing you know, he's lining up in the final, apparently convinced by his federation to run!
So I'm not sure if it's a psychological game, or whether it's just his sense of humour, or if he genuinely means it and then can't say no when they ask him really nicely! But I hope he runs, for the sake of the Games and the marathon. I can't see them moving the marathon out of the city though...
Thanks for the link, will put up a reference to that shortly!
I have access to the air quality in Beijing but cannot provide it to the public, but there is no US city that comes close to the level of air pollution in Beijing.
With the focus on the air, I hope athletes do not forget about heat and humidity. One can acclimate to H+H, but not to air quality.
Exercising at moderate intensity gives one about the same dose of pollutants as sitting on a bench for 8 hours. (In Beijing). So it is not only the competition but the training while there. I bet you will see a lot of athletes flying in from Korea, Japan, Singapore, etc just before competition and maybe then even flying right back out between competitions.
Look for athletes using "gas masks" in training and walking around.
A question: is the course run in the Beijing marathon the same as the Olympic course? The latter is very flat. Not sure about the "regular" marathon.
hi Anonymous
Thanks for the post - interesting information - though I wish you could provide the data for comparative purposes!
The point about masks and flying in is correct - if you go to the previous posts we did on the pollution, we described that some teams are already doing this - the British will fly in, the Australians too. And probably more. Also, many have developed gas masks for use right up to the point of the race. So you're quite correct there.
Time will tell, but it might be the big talking point of the Games, unfortunately!
I think China's environmental record will increase dramatically proceeding the games, but the real challenge is in understanding whether or not their commitment to a "green" strategy will stay the course in the years after the Olympics.
If you want to read details read my post "An Inconvenient Olympics" at ecounit.com/blog. I make the argument that the Olympics will be the turning point for a global focus on conservation and "green" for the next decade.
Hope this adds to the discussion.
Hi Kent
THanks for the link - this is a topic we'll certainly be returning to, so I'll do a post closer to the time and get your blog in there with it.
On what scientific basis do you draw the conclusion that heavy pollution will not cause chronic health problems. There is a mountain of evidence that CO, SO2, NOx, O3 and particulate matter, whether in the short run or the long run, will cause disease. No one competing in these games is ethused about the conditions.
I'm aware of that data, yes, but I feel you've taken it (or this post) out of context.
I do not believe that there is any evidence that a three-day exposure (arrive in Beijing 2 days before, then compete, then leave) will cause any such problems. The person may be affected during those three days, but within days of leaving much of the problem will be cleared, leaving no lasting effect.
I feel much has been made of the pollution and in the case of Gebrselassie, he's on record as saying he does not want to risk killing himself, which is extreme and untrue, as even the data would suggest.
So while i agree that most are not enthused, and I agree that they have reason not to be excited about breathing the air, there is a vast difference betweeen the problems caused by the pollution during the exposure and long term effects as a result of a few days worth of exposure. So I disagree!

Sweeney Todd at Blank Canvas Has a Double-Edged Razor That Cuts But Also Scrapes
Blank Canvas Theatre
Review by: Kevin Kelly
If Gypsy is considered the Mother of all musicals, then Sweeney Todd, the Demon Barber of Fleet Street is sure to be considered one of the Big Daddy's. Just the fact that a theatre attempts to produce this show is a testament to their drive and ambition, and in this case, it's Founder and Artistic Director Patrick Ciamacco who leads the way. Literally.
Originally, the titled musical was a 1973 play by the British Playwright Christopher Bond. In 1979, the acclaimed musical adaptation was brought to life by Stephen Sondheim, who created one of the most glorious Music and Lyrics ever, and the Book was by Hugh Wheeler. The story is about a wrongfully imprisoned barber, Benjamin Barker, who returns to London 15 years after being wrongfully convicted. He has assumed a new name, Sweeney Todd, and is hell-bent on exacting revenge against Judge Turpin, who is responsible for his imprisonment. Further fury is invoked when he learns that the Judge has raped his young wife, and adopted his daughter and is holding her captive. Todd finds himself in business with his former landlady, Mrs. Lovett. Since times are hard, Mrs. Lovett comes up with a blood-curdling scheme to help them both. As the musical unfolds, there are many surprises that await the path of vengeance.

As Sweeney Todd, Patrick Ciamacco takes on the titular role. It is an outstanding accomplishment to tackle this role, especially when you look through the program, and see that in addition to playing Todd, he also took on the roles of Lighting, Blood, Sound, Barber Chair, Set Designer and Technical Director. And if that isn't enough, helped as Scenic Painter. Oh, and he handles the Box Office and Marketing. Dedication to the nth degree. Ciamacco does a good job of handling the demanding role and does it with a commanding presence. There were a few points where songs were started in the wrong key but quickly corrected. He is a consummate performer and consistently delivers throughout the play. Internalizing his pain, and letting us into his soul through his expressive eyes. The performance dipped from time to time, probably due to exhaustion, but when the intention and energy were fully formed, as in "Epiphany", it was pure magic. And his face waiting for the next "customer" was like watching a slobbering Doberman awaiting the mailman.
Trinidad Snider takes on Mrs. Lovett like a quarterback in the Super Bowl. Using every ounce of her talent and creating a magical interpretation. Her crazy voice inflections, quirky physicality, and deft comedic timing are on full display. Her interaction with Ciamacco is a scream, as both of them represent a demonic Steve and Edie. Her range of emotions is impressive and infectious. Truly a triumphant performance.
Robert Kowalewski (Anthony) and Meg Martinez (Johanna) Photo Credit: Andy Dudik
As the blade-crossed lovers, Robert Kowalewski (Anthony) and Meg Martinez (Johanna) completely kick ass. Each is equipped with beautiful voices and complete characterizations. Martinez soars like an operatic phoenix, as in her song "Green Finch and Linnet Bird", serving up beautiful dynamics. Kowalewski brings his seductive high baritone voice into the proceedings and basically impregnates the audience with his rendition of "Johanna". His Anthony was a touch more hyper than expected, but he was probably at sea for a long time, and you know. This dynamic pair absolutely crush the duet "Kiss Me", with incredible diction and timing.
Kristy Cruz as the Beggar Woman rightfully came across as she was out of her mind. She took a lot of chances in a well-defined insanity. But also, let us in on moments that seemed to create real connections with her past, and her truths, that her tortured mind couldn't process into words. Beautifully done. I must say that the wig supplied almost upstaged her, but luckily Cruz made it work, through sheer talent. In my opinion, she is one of the most underrated performers in our city. She is a triple threat surrounded by a humble energy.
The dynamic Brian Altman serves up The Judge with a Raul Esparza feel that is definitely easy on the eyes. Too bad his character is a dick. Altman brings to life this loveless powerful man who harbors a tortured soul. His desperation for Johanna stays with him throughout the play and is palatable. His creepy keyhole voyeur scene will certainly raise the threat level a couple of colors. John Webb as The Beadle is a hot mess. Basically running around with the Judge with a sidekick appeal, ready to do the bidding. Armed with a strong voice, he offers some great comic relief in the parlor singing some enthusiastic songs - loudly. Devin Pfeiffer is an endearing Tobias Ragg. Pfeiffer plays to the character's sense of survival but also showing that he isn't the sharpest. His voice is strong, and conveys the passion of protecting Mrs. Lovett with tender innocence. Ian Jones is killing me as Pirelli. He marches into the scene like a peacock during mating season, all spread out with fanfare and bravado. His high notes are a comedic treasure, as he sucks every teet dry from every cow in the surrounding area. I don't know if there are cows around, but I thought that was funny. The rest of the cast is on point from Luke Scattergood as Jonas Fogg, and the incredibly voiced company of Jessica Agnor Pringle, Antonio DeJesus, Joe Gibson, John Kost, Allison Naso, Paige Schiller, and the luminous Julie Penzvalto.
Matthew Dolan leads an accomplished orchestra as they take on an incredibly demanding score, and come out the winner. I thought it sounded full, and just a moment or two out of step, but nothing that deterred from the show.
Their life in a nutshell. Photo Credit: Andy Dudik
Directing this epic journey is Jonathan Kronenberger. He has done a great job bringing these talented actors technical elements together to bring the show to life. My major comment is that the production isn't as dark as I would have liked. A more developed ambiance of darkness within each character would have taken a very good show, and made it great. Musically, the show seems to lack the literal bass notes of the score. Ciamacco and Altman are not basses or choose not to use their bass quality, and that would have provided more depth to their characters. Or Sweeney already sliced the neck of every bass in London, and that is understandable. When the Judge is beating himself with the whip, it looks like he is shoeing away a fly off his back, instead of beating himself out of rage for having impure thoughts and losing that battle. Tobias at the end with the grinder seems so dark and confused, I wished there had been more darkness throughout the play. The company started off with a bang. When they all turned in to the middle on "Swing your razor high", it was spine chilling. But then everytime after, they came in, took a position, and sang in different directions, and then left. I wish those exchanges could be more layered. I think moving those company members on a set that was too close to the pipes for some, and too low for exits, was handled well enough. I don't think you could have stopped the occasional bop on the forehead, but luckily, none too distracting.
Carole Leiblinger-Hedderson called a great show. The pace was excellent. Luke Scattergood did a great job on costumes, sans the Beggar Woman wig. Blood Design on point, of course, from the house of blood. The Chair design was excellent and one of the highlights of the show, which also means you can add Welder to Ciamacco's talents.
As of this writing, the show is basically sold out, with just a few tickets remaining, so I would get on it.

So I was paging through our March issue of Keyboard Magazine, and discovered a new review for "Two Headed Monster". It was a great surprise. Keyboard Magazine has always been very supportive, so thanks to everyone there.
Another review for Two Headed Monster is in. Check it out here, at Fazer Magazine.
...a totally unique listening experience. If you're willing to jump on for the ride, Two Headed Monster will take you places most commercial releases cannot - and that's right into the minds of it's two creators. Another thought: Collide are not a band you want to rip into your computer at 128 bits and expect great things from. Two Headed Monster is headphone music of the highest order. Don't sell yourself sort and accept truncated computer files as a means of playing the CD. Collide is some heady stuff - so treat it as such.

More attractions in 20th edition of Panagbenga
January 9, 2015 September 21, 2016 Dexter A. See
BAGUIO CITY – Major roads leading to the Summer Capital will become colorful during the start of the 20th edition of the Panagbenga because of the various kinds of flowers that will be planted along the roadside to serve as added attractions for visitors while on their way up to the city proper.
Aside from the roadsides of Kennon road, Marcos highway, Naguilian road and the Benguet-Nueva Vizcaya road, most of the city's 128 barangays will also become colorful because of the establishment of garden of flowers and their roadside beautification which form part of the contest category of the barangay landscaping and roadside gardens in order to beautify the city with different kinds of flowers in time for the 5-week flower festival.
Mayor Mauricio G. Domogan said the 20th edition of the country's long running festival is one of its milestones, thus, greater participation of local residents and stakeholders are required in order for the city to have new offerings for visitors, particularly the pockets of flowers along major roads and even in the different barangays as well as households.
"We received commitments from our neighboring municipalities of La Trinidad, Itogon, Sablan, Tuba and Tublay that they will be sending their respective delegations to participate in the streetdancing parade and the float parade in order to provide our visitors with more attractions and a variety of performances," Domogan stressed.
Various types of locally produced and imported flowers are expected to be showcased by the different roadside garden and barangay landscape participants that will serve as an added menu for the traditional government-led and community supported activities for this year's flower festival.
The flower festival will kick off on February 1 with the elimination round of the streetdancing competition where all interested elementary, secondary and college institutions will be competing with each other to determine those who will be qualified for final judging during the streetdancing parade.
From February 1 to March 1, the month-long Baguio Blooms exhibition and exposition will be opened at the Burnham lake drive. Exhibitors of flower-inspired products and other local handicrafts will be featured in the area for the promotion of their products.
On February 15, festival organizers will be holding a whole day program entitled 'Handog ng Panabenga sa Pamilya Baguio' and the traditional painting contest entitled 'Let A Thousand Flowers Bloom' as well as the Panagbenga kite-flying challenge to be capped by the Panagbenga variety show.
On February 28, competing elementary, secondary and college streetdancers who will be in their well-designed costumes will be competing during the grand streetdancing parade, which is one of the major highlights of the festival, in order to entertain the expected influx of visitors.
On March 1, dozens of flower-decorated floats from participating government agencies, multinational corporations and giant television networks will be parading along Session Road with their own unique designs during the grand streetdancing parade. The floats will then be displayed at the Melvin Jones grounds for a week in order to allow the public to view and take photos for their remembrance.
From March 1 to 8, Session Road will be closed to vehicular traffic and converted into a sidewalk café and promenade area courtesy of the Session Road in Bloom where establishments are allowed to put up their flower-inspired decorations and tables where the public could take a break. Furthermore, stalls will be put up in the area in order to promote local handicrafts and other flower-inspired products.
On March 7, horseback riding enthusiasts can enjoy the day with the various competitions organized for the conduct of the Pony Boys day whereby it will also feature competitions on horse races among others.
The 5-week flower festival will be capped with a grand closing program and grand fireworks display on March 8.
Anthony de Leon, president of the Hotel and Restaurant Association of Baguio (HRAB) and general manager of the Baguio Country Club (BCC), said most of the 250 members of their organization are fully booked as of this time while most of the over 700 transient houses are also fully booked because of the reduced travel time to the city as a result of the opening of the Tarlac-Pangasinan-La Union Expressway (TPLEX).
"Baguio is ready to welcome our visitors for the Panagbenga and we are ready to cater to their needs," de Leon said.

Newsflash: Henry Worsley's tragic end
British explorer Henry Worsley, aged 55, sadly passed away on the 24th of January in his attempt to become the first man to cross Antarctica solo.
The ex-army officer and veteran polar explorer was only 50km from reaching his goal when he collapsed and made a call for help. He was then airlifted to Punta Arenas, Chile and soon after died of organ failure, his wife Joanna said.

Prior to his solo expedition, Worsley had been training in Greenland and was well aware of the hazardous polar conditions. When asked by National Geographic why he was attempting such a dangerous trip, Worsley replied, "On my previous trips I was always part of a team, and so this time I wanted to have the clarity of making all my own decisions. I've always sort of lived by the phrase, "Try something you could fail at. We all do things that we can comfortably achieve, but rarely do we set the high bar one notch above what we think we can clear, and that's what's driving me on here."
Worsley's courageous efforts make him one of the last great explorers of our time and inspiration for us all.

Q: Convergence conditions for series I'm trying to determine the conditions for the following series to converge ($a,b$ and $c$ are positive): $$\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}2a^{\frac{1}{n}}-b^{\frac{1}{n}}-c^{\frac{1}{n}}$$ It's clear that $\lim \limits_{n \to \infty }a_n=0$ for all possible values of parameters, but the root test yields 1 and any ratio test seems to be of little use here.

A: $a^{\frac{1}{n}}=e^{\frac{1}{n}ln(a)}$
$=1+\frac{1}{n}ln(a)+\frac{1}{2n^2}(ln^2(a)+\epsilon_1(n))$
thus
$a_n=\frac{1}{n}ln(\frac{a^2}{bc})+ \frac{1}{2n^2}(2ln^2(a)-ln^2(b)-ln^2(c)+\epsilon_2(n))$
So, the series converges if
$a^2=bc$.

Ipsen, insolvent biotech partner find buyer for troubled hemophilia drug
Feb 6, 2013 8:29am
Ipsen is closing a tumultuous foray into the hemophilia area. With its broke biotech partner Inspiration Biopharmaceuticals, Ipsen ($IPN) has agreed to sell a hemophilia drug candidate placed on clinical hold by the FDA last year to Cangene in a deal worth up to $55.9 million in upfront and commercial milestone money.
Cangene is forking over $5.9 million initially for the hemophilia B candidate IB1001, which U.S. regulators placed on clinical hold in July after patients in a late-stage clinical trial had developed antibodies against proteins from Chinese hamster ovary cells used to manufacture the recombinant factor IX treatment. The Canadian biotech is expected to pay up to $50 million more in commercial milestones to Inspiration and Ipsen, the main backer of the program since its partnership with Inspiration began in 2010.
Paris-based Ipsen and Inspiration, which filed for Chapter 11 protection in October, have now struck deals to unload the two lead hemophilia drugs from their collaboration, including one for a hemophilia A candidate called OBI-1 with Baxter International valued at $185 million in upfront and goal-based payments. Baxter is also taking over a Milford, MA, production plant from Ipsen and Inspiration.
Since Inspiration filed for bankruptcy protection last year, Ipsen has backed the Cambridge, MA-based biotech with $23.6 million in debtor-in-possession (DIP) financing to keep its partner afloat amid efforts to sell its assets. Ipsen expects to cover the DIP amount with its share of upfront payments from the two asset sales with Baxter and Cangene, and French biotech may take a 100 million euro impairment charge for the hemophilia assets such as convertible bonds used to finance the collaboration and its investment in the Milford plant.
A Boston bankruptcy sale is due to have a hearing today to consider approval of the asset sale to Cangene. Ipsen aims to get out of hemophilia via the Chapter 11 process, and it appears that this latest deal puts it one step closer to accomplishing that goal. From here, Ipsen can only hope that Baxter and Cangene succeed with their own efforts to advance the therapies against the bleeding disorders, as milestone payments from the deals depend on approvals of the drugs.
