Lessons on Elocution: Accompanied by Instructions and Criticisms on the ...
저자: Thomas Sheridan
be delivered as (what in truth they ought to be,) the genuine sentiments of our own minds at the moment of utterance; and we should, therefore, approach as nearly as may be, to the extemporaneous style of delivery. It is indeed, impossible to produce the full effect of that style, while the audience are aware, that the words we utter are before us: but we may approach indefinitely near to such an effect; and in proportion as we succeed in this object, the impression produced will be the greater.
The advantages of this natural manner, (i. e. the manner which one naturally falls into who is really speaking in earnest, and with a mind exclusively intent upon what he has to say,) may be estimated from this consideration, that there are few who do not speak so as to give effect to what they are saying; and that it is easy for hearers to keep up their attention,-indeed difficult for them to withdraw it,-when addressed by one who is really speaking in a natural and earnest manner.*
To aid the Clergy of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the devotional performance of its admirable Liturgy, is the principal aim of this little work, but
* It would serve to correct many errors if the reader would ask himself before delivering a sentence, how should I read this, were I speaking it as my own immediate sentiments ? Sheridan says, in one of his Lectures, "I have often tried an experiment to shew the great difference between these two modes of utterance, the natural and the artificial; which was, that when I found a person of vivacity delivering his sentiments with energy, and of course with all that variety of tones
the general "Lessons on Elocution" will be found equally useful to all who are required to read or speak in public.
In the reading of the church service, Mr. Sheridan's marks of accent and emphasis, and also his criticisms upon the most common errors and mistakes in performing it, have been generally followed when the contrary is not indicated; those criticisms of Whately which were deemed just, have been incorporated; and such alterations have been made, as were necessary to adapt a work originally intended for the Liturgy of the Church of England, to that of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States.
The want of some such work has been universally felt and acknowledged by our clergy and candidates for orders-and this is now offered to them as the best extant, so far as known to the present editor.
Here the officiating minister, is not only furnished with important general directions in the discharge of this part of his holy functions; but, whenever he is doubtful as to the emphatic word or words in any sentence of the daily service, or Litany, or communion
which nature furnishes, I have taken occasion to put something into his hand to read, as relative to the topics of conversation; and it was surprising to see what an immediate change there was in his delivery, from the moment he began to read. A different pitch of voice took place of his natural one, and a tedious uniformity of cadence succeeded to a spirited variety; in so much that a blind man could hardly conceive the person who read, to be the same who had just been speaking."
office, he may have his embarrassment removed by a single glance of the eye.
That the Lord may pour upon his brethren and himself a large measure of the "spirit of grace and supplication"-and so imbue their hearts with all the sentiments of pure devotion which pervade our liturgical offices, that in the use of them they may "offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God by Jesus Christ," is the sincere prayer of
THE EDITOR.

LOUISVILLE CITY LIVING
Louisville's Russell neighborhood is getting a new theater this year
Maggie Menderski
Courier Journal
Louisville's Russell neighborhood will have a new theater by the end of the year.
But the lights, the sound, the main stage, and so many other components that will make the performance space complete are still on the wishlist for Louisville Central Community Center, Inc.
It'll take $2 million to finish the entire design concept of the new 300-seat Grand Lyric Theater at 1300 W. Muhammad Ali Blvd., said Kevin Fields, Sr., LCCC's president and chief executive officer.
That's money the nonprofit just doesn't have, yet.
So Friday morning was a day of celebrating what the center does have — enough to build a black-box style theater, a blank flexible performing space, that'll open before the end of this year.
About $900,000 has been raised to date from individuals, foundations, and local government, and LCCC is offering sponsorship and naming opportunities to fund the remaining $1.1 million.
Performances will be able to happen in the theater as is planned, but it's a makeshift solution, Fields said. The full vision involves seating, dressing rooms, rehearsal space and a true stage. It's going to take another $1.1 million to make that happen.

Louisville's Chase Phillips, a 12-year-old who's fresh from co-starring in the national tour of "Motown: The Musical," has performed in theaters all over the country but on Friday morning, he was among several children who took the stage inside the community center to ask local leaders and business people to build one for his home.
"LCCC is a family," he told the crowd. "LCCC is my home. … I feel safe and I feel inspired here."
For the past few years, LCCC's Youth Repertory Theater Troupe and the Tiny Tykes Theater Troupe have performed in a 12,000-square-foot conference space inside the center. The nonprofit has been offering theater and art programs for decades, Fields said.
Phillips' performance in LCCC's "Black Nativity" in 2016 was the first time he was ever part of a predominantly black cast, he told the crowd. That helped give him confidence and showed him that there were other children that were just like him, who enjoyed theater, too.

"LCCC is a place where you can get away from bad stuff and you can break out of your shell," he said.
The new theater is the final piece of the Old Walnut Street Development, which has been in the works since 2001. Rewind 18 years ago and that site at 13th and Muhammad Ali Boulevard was a dilapidated building that had been empty for nearly 15 years and an old depot for a gas and light company, Fields said. Now its a part of a larger plan to transform the stretch between Sixth and 21st streets into a cultural arts commercial district.
Historic Walnut Street, now Muhammad Ali Boulevard, was a hub for businesses, professional offices, restaurants and entertainment venues before it was razed by an urban renewal plan in the 1960s.
Russell has come a long way in the past five years, Louisville Metro Mayor Greg Fischer told the crowd. He took a few moments Friday morning to discuss the city's budget crisis and how it ties into programs at LCCC, noting that Louisville Metro has committed $500,000 to the theater, but spent most of his remarks talking about the growth of the neighborhood.

There's nearly $1 billion in economic activity and capital construction taking place in the neighborhood right now including the Beecher Terrace redevelopment, the revitalization at 18th Street and Broadway and a track and field complex on 30th St.
"We're going through a real renaissance right now, and you can see how all of this is coming together in such a beautiful way that lifts our city up and provides more opportunity for yes adults but for our kids as well," Fischer said.

Following the adoption of a motion put forward in Parliament, the Honourable Navdeep Bains, Minister of Innovation, Science and Economic Development, and the Honourable Mélanie Joly, Minister of Canadian Heritage, were pleased to see that Parliament will undertake a review of Canada's Copyright Act.
In today's fast-paced creative economy, it is critical for Canada to maintain a comprehensive copyright framework, one in which Canadian creators get fairly compensated for their work, users benefit from great choices and business can thrive. The Act creates a healthy environment facilitating investments, job creation and opportunities for all Canadians.
A well-functioning copyright framework should enable Canada's creators to take full advantage of the opportunities presented by digital technology, provide a supportive environment for business and investment, and position creators for success in a competitive marketplace. This framework should also make it easy for users to discover, access and use a variety of quality content, as well as promote our culture and heritage.
The review will provide parliamentarians with an opportunity to examine the legislative framework in support of these objectives.
The 2012 Copyright Modernization Act included a requirement for a parliamentary review of the Copyright Act every five years.
Copyright is a major driver of the Canadian economy, with core copyright-based industries representing an estimated contribution of $50 billion to the GDP and accounting for 483,000 jobs in 2015.
To ensure timely reform in response to issues that were recently reviewed by Parliament, the Government held targeted public consultations on the Copyright Board of Canada in August and September 2017. It received nearly 60 submissions, which are now available online.
Reform measures are anticipated over the course of the next year to enable creators to get paid properly and on time and to seize new business opportunities in today's fast-paced economic environment.

"The art was taught to me by my father, who learnt it from his father, who traded a sheep for it."
~ Anonymous on Gardening
For those without comedic tastes, the so-called experts at Wikipedia have an article very remotely related to Gardening.
"Gardening... an excuse to piss in the flowerbed"
~ Everyone's dad ever on Gardening
Gardening is an ancient and time-honored form of short-range agriculture. Only professional gardeners are capable of doing gardening per se, although gardeners do pass their knowledge on to their students, who immediately acquire dark Zen-like powers.
This gardener was once a man... Then he got wood.
When gardeners attain the age of 25, they start to take root. For that, they must stay absolutely paralyzed, not moving a single muscle of their body for at least 7 days in a row. If they succeed, they start to acquire water from the ground, which allows them to survive. Without the water they wouldst surely die, for they are no longer completely humans - they are slowly mutating into plants. This process is painfully slow (for big trees, almost 20 years) and quite gruesome to behold.
1.1 The First Gardening Tools
2 Gardening And The Pastafarians
3 Gardening And The Modern Era
3.1 Modern Advances in Gardening Technology
3.2 Gardening And Video Games
According to the noted historian Professor Willy Pewler, "gardening has its roots in the agricultural communities of Mesopotamia (modern-day Iraq). See what I did there? I made a PUN! Ahahahaha!" According to this freak, the practice of farming (middle-range agriculture) was established here. The people dwelling here were known as Freakishly Arrogant Repeatedly Mutilated Ewe Rapists, or FARMERs. However, from amongst this happy, animal-loving people, a dark sect was born.
...why bother?
These "gardeners" (from the words "guard" and "greedy bastard") hoarded their land and refused to grow crops on it. As a result, according to Professor Pewler: "A grand meeting of all FARMERs was called. They implored the gardeners to relinquish their ideals and farm once more, but the gardeners refused. So the FARMERs ordered that they leave. Oh, yes!"
But enough from this freak. Following the judgement of the FARMERs, the gardeners were cast out into the Land of Stony Malicious Soil. Here they wandered for 40 days and 40 nights, fending off Giant Rats, Venus Mantraps and Humphrey Bogart. As inprobable as this may seem, this lead to the gardeners becoming further embittered.
The First Gardening Tools[edit]
A pair of dirty hoes.
While in exile, the gardeners developed their earliest tools out of necessity. They required tools that would both allow them to defend their lands and to make pretty flowers happen.
The earliest tool to be created was the hoe. Basically a lump of metal on the end of a long pole, these light tools showed versatility in digging up ground and ploughing holes in the heads of enemies. Gardeners are renowned for their love of dirty hoes. There is a well-known gardener saying: "There's nothing a dirty hoe won't do." Rumour has it that the the first hoe was created when a gardener was using a spear to tend his land. Suddenly, a rabbit ran across the field. Seeking dinner, the gardener threw his spear, but missed and struck a rock. Being a simple man, he took up the spear with its bent point and began to tend his land again, and he noticed that the bent point actually made things easier...
Some doubt has been thrown on the veracity of this story however, as the rake was apparently invented in exactly the same way, but with a trident in place of the spear. Therefore, gardeners are either stupid fucks or pathological liars. Rakes are useful for gathering leaves, creating seed furrows, and protecting one's house against Sideshow Bob.
KILL THAT ZOMBIE!
A tool of unknown origin is the shovel. Not unlike a giant spoon in terms of appearance, the shovel is used for digging holes, turning compost heaps and repelling zombie invasions (as shown in recent times by Col. Bruce Campbell). The shovel's combat potential is so great, it has been adopted by the US Military[1]. Spades are similar to shovels, but are possessed of a smaller and flatter head. This makes them ideal for use by gardening n00bs.
GET REAL!
Trowels are like small shovels, but are so wimpy that even the n00bs won't use them. They are generally reserved for European truffle hunters, gnomes and smurfs. It is said that trowels made from pure silver can be used to kill werewolves, however the likelihood of such an awesome creature being felled by such a crappy weapon is not very high.
I mean, seriously, come on! Some hardcore lycanthropic mutha'fucka shows up, eating your sheep and your children, and you think you can use your shitty n00b-tool to take them down? GET REAL! But I digress.
Gardening And The Pastafarians[edit]
About the only group to show any tolerance of gardening whatsoever are the Pastafarians. Aside from typical Pastafarian values of tolerance, their rational is this:
Gardening is the process by which plants are created and maintained.
Plants help reduce global warming.
Pirates reduce global warming.
Thus, gardeners are land pirates.
In recognition of the tolerance shown by the Pastafarians, the gardeners created a new tool: the fork. As it sounds, the fork is, in fact, a two-handed oversized dinner fork. They are used for poking holes in soil/rivals, gathering fallen foliage, and (crucially) eating the discarded offspring of the Flying Spaghetti Monster.
Gardening And The Modern Era[edit]
Modern Advances in Gardening Technology[edit]
Lawnmowers are used by n00bs to clear a large, grass-free area to practice their crimes against gardening.
Strimmers are used by senior gardeners to clear stray strands of grass from their area, and to pwn n00bs.
Shears are used by n00bs to trick non-gardeners into thinking that they are working hard. Senior gardeners use them to pwn n00bs.
Hedge trimmers are complicated, chainsaw-like apparatus used by senior gardeners to threaten passers-by.
Secateurs are to shears what spades are to shovels, except that they are worshiped by n00bs.
Gardening And Video Games[edit]
Contrary to popular belief, leet is in fact a gardener invention. Video gamers borrowed the language and terms such as "n00b" after exposure to gardening through the game Harvest Moon. This game remains the only contact between gardening and video gamers, given the average gamer's sunlight allergy and the abject refusal of plants to flourish in dark, sweaty basements. However, it is rumoured that the character Marcus Fenix from Gears of War is, in fact, Epic Games' impression of a gardener under extreme stress. Hence the Hedge Trimmer Bayonet.

Flashback: Dr. Robert Epstein, Peter Schweizer Warned About Powers of Big Tech at 'Masters of the Universe' Town Hall
During Breitbart News' Masters of the Universe town hall in April, psychologist Dr. Robert Epstein, author Peter Schweizer, author Ann Coulter, and Breitbart News Editor-in-Chief Alex Marlow warned the audience about Big Tech's influence over society.
Here are some of the revelations from the event.
Dr. Robert Epstein: Silicon Valley could swing an election "with no-one knowing that they had done this."
During the town hall, Epstein warned that "the more information these companies have about us, the more easily they can manipulate us – that is, shift our opinions, our attitudes, our beliefs, our purchases and our votes."
"We estimated that if these companies were all working together and supporting the same candidate, and really pulling out all the stops and using all the methods they have to manipulate, they could shift 10 percent of the voting population of America, with no-one knowing that they had done this, and without leaving a paper trail for authorities to track," he expressed. "10 percent could be shifted — that's a lot of votes, with no-one knowing that they've done this."
Peter Schweizer: Google and Facebook are "not just Internet companies… They steer the national debate in ways that are unimaginable."
Schweizer declared that Google are "trying to steer, manipulate, and direct us in ways that they want to go."
"They have enormous powers, powers that I would argue that company has ever had in human history over the flow of information," he proclaimed. "They are not just Internet companies. They are media companies, they are opinion companies, and they steer the national debate in ways that are unimaginable."
Dr. Robert Epstein: Everything that goes through your email account is "record, analyzed" by Google, and becomes "part of your profile."
"All gmails, outgoing, the ones you write, and incoming — no matter what email service they're coming from — they are all recorded, analyzed, every detail is put into your personal profile," Epstein declared. "Even those gmails that you type, and we've all done this — you type it and you go 'Oh no, I can't send this, that's insane, I'm not gonna send this' and you hit delete — that's already been recorded! That's part of your profile."
Epstein continued to claim that the "scariest thing" is that most news outlets "all use Google to run their email system."
"All those emails are running through Google servers. Google has full access — I'm talking about some of the top journalists in the world, who are investigating Google," he revealed. "They're sharing all of their communications, all of their work products, all of the drafts — they're sharing it all with Google!"
Peter Schweizer: "You don't know, ultimately, what information you're not getting."
During the town hall, Schweizer claimed Big Tech companies draw users in by making them feel like they're receiving the best service, when in actuality, they're suppressing what information you see.
"You don't know what you don't know," declared Schweizer. "You don't know, ultimately, what information you're not getting, and they're giving you this sort of facade that they're giving you the best, they're giving you the most accurate, they're giving you the most informative, and the bottom line is that simply isn't true."
Dr. Robert Epstein: "Google's search results favored Hillary Clinton" during the 2016 presidential election.
"We came up with a system, a monitoring system for monitoring search results on Google, Bing, and Yahoo for nearly six months before the election in 2016," Epstein explained. "This story about our findings was broken by the Washington Post in early 2017 and here's what we found. We found that Google's search results favored Hillary Clinton in all ten positions of those search results on the first page for almost all of those six months leading up to the election. Now that's enough to shift two to three million votes, at least, without anyone knowing that they have been manipulated."
Alex Marlow: "You guys are not the consumers, you guys are actually the product, you guys are being sold."
"You guys are not the consumers, you guys are actually the product, you guys are being sold and it's being done completely clandestinely," Marlow declared. "Never in the history of the American republic and really the Western world have so few unelected people achieved so much power and so much influence in such a short period of time and they've done it almost entirely clandestinely and without the free flow of information."
"They know where you are right now and yet we don't even know their names," he warned.

Discussion Questions – 'The Last Tudor' by Philippa Gregory
What role do faith and religion play during the time period represented in The Last Tudor? What is the relationship between religion and politics, and how does this relationship affect the cultural climate of England? Is the country mostly united in their faith or divided? What impact does this have on the royals of England?
After the Henrician Reformation, there was the mid-Tudor crisis, already with differences of faith across England.
Edward VI was a devout Protestant as he had been raised, Mary I was a devout Catholic as her mother Katherine of Aragon had been, and Elizabeth I looked for a middle way in religion having seen the chaos of her brother's and sister's reigns.
Edward VI altered his Device for the Succession to stop Mary I succeeding to the throne and returning the English church to Rome.
Politics was based on religion – generally people who supported Edward VI and Jane Grey were protestant, and those who supported Mary I were Catholic, although Mary I did at first also attract the support of protestants as the real claimant to the throne by Henry VIII's will.
What is "the true religion" according to Lady Jane Grey? Why does Jane believe that she and her family do not need to earn their place in heaven as others do? Does her faith ultimately serve her well? Discuss.
Jane Grey believes the true religion is protestant – each is influenced in religion in the way that they were raised.
Protestants believe in pre-destination – that it is already decided whether you go to heaven or hell before you're even born and you can't influence that through good works.
Good works leading to heaven is a Catholic doctrine.
Jane Grey relies on her faith and it ultimately helps her to die, but she wouldn't have been in that situation in the first place if she wasn't staunchly Protestant.
Edward VI settles the succession on Jane Grey because she is Protestant, rather than his Catholic half-sister Mary I.

The King is Dead: Royal Death and Succession under the Tudors
Talk by David Starkey @ Whitley Bay Playhouse 11/05/2016
A couple of months ago I went to hear a talk by David Starkey on the Tudor succession at my local theatre. These are the notes I took on the day:-
Henry VIII by Hans Holbein 1540
Similar to today?
Cromwell similar to David Cameron?
Death of a monarch – die publicly, semi-public, public proclamation.
Every Tudor death of a monarch is kept secret.
Intrigues, political struggles – characteristic over regime with autocratic rulers.
Henry VIII's death replicates that of Henry VII.
Elizabeth I's death = change of dynasty. Robert Carey rides to Edinburgh to tell James VI of Scotland he is now James I of England.
One smooth succession – death of Mary I, throne goes to Elizabeth I. Mary believed she was pregnant even on her deathbed.
English relations with Scots not good historically – Elizabeth militarily prepared over religion.
Henry VIII's death – divided factional politics, like today – parties divided within themselves. Continue reading "The King is Dead: Royal Death and Succession under the Tudors"

Significance of the Marriage Between Edward IV and Elizabeth Woodville.
Edward IV Meeting Elizabeth Woodville
Edward IV and Elizabeth Woodville's marriage was the first time that an English king had married a commoner without a foreign wife first. Edward III's son, John of Gaunt, had married Katherine Swynford but they already had children before their marriage, who were legitimised after the marriage. The descendents of this marriage became the Tudors, and it was these complicated marriage alliance which led to the Wars of the Roses, into which Elizabeth Woodville and Edward IV were key players because of their marriage, and their many offspring. Their eldest daughter, Elizabeth, married the future Henry VII, and their two eldest sons, Edward and Richard, became the ill-fated Princes in the Tower.
The Mystery of the Princes in the Tower
The mystery of the Princes in the Tower has dogged historians for centuries. When two small skeletons were found under a Tower staircase it was assumed these were their bones but no evidence has actually been found and no DNA testing was conducted.

What Made the Tudor Dynasty Unique?
Royal Badge of England, including the Tudor Rose.
The Tudor dynasty was unique in several ways, not least that two of our most remembered monarchs were Tudors – Henry VIII and Elizabeth I. Furthermore, the dynasty was unique in issues of marriage, succession, political unity, religion, and love. Read on to find out more.
Henry VIII is the only reigning monarch to have married more than twice. He was also only the second to have a wife who had already been married (the first was Edward IV whose Queen, Elizabeth Woodville, already had two sons when they married). He is also only the second King to have married a commoner (Edward IV was, again, the first). He is also the only monarch to have had one of his wives (let alone two!) executed. Even more shocking that the two executed were in fact cousins.[1]
Edward VI was the third reigning English monarch not to marry, the first two being William II and Edward V, the second of whom was too young to be married when he died, and the former appeared to have been too busy with wars and dissenters to think about a family.

* Henry VII was born in 1457 and was the first monarch of the House of Tudor. He had 4 children – Arthur, Henry, Margaret and Mary.
* Henry VIII died in 1547. He is known for marrying six times, and beheading two of them, and breaking with Rome in order to get a divorce.
* Edward VI succeeded his father Henry VIII in 1547. He would only reign for 6 years and cut his half-sisters Mary and Elizabeth out of the succession.

Q: Cocos2d-iphone v3 - draw a line and convert it so I could use it for CCSprite http://i.stack.imgur.com/cjZBq.png
Right I've looked and I can seem to find the answer.
I'm using Cocos2d-iphone V3.
What I want to achieve is the above.
I want to take the devices width or height and and draw two lines.
I want to take the drawn lines and use the for the CCProgress.
Question:
How do I take the drawn lines and convert them to CCSprite?
If you can give me the code it would be great, but if you could give me a link to any tutorial or documentation so I can learn how to do this, that would be even better.
Thank you.
@LearnCocos2d
So i'm doing this now but I get a very weird result;
CGSize winSize = [[CCDirector sharedDirector] viewSize];
_progressWidth = winSize.width *2;

//CGPoint position = ccp(0.3, 0.5);
//CCTime interval = 1.0/60.0;

NSMutableArray * tempProgressFg = [[NSMutableArray alloc] initWithCapacity:[Utilities getRows]+1];
NSMutableArray * tempProgressBg = [[NSMutableArray alloc] initWithCapacity:[Utilities getRows]+1];

CCTexture * bg = [_progressBg texture];
CCTexture * fg = [_progressFg texture];
for (int i = 0; i < [Utilities getRows]; i++)
{
    if (i == 0)
    {
        _progressBg.scaleX = _progressWidth;
        _progressFg.scaleX = _progressWidth;
        _progressBg.position = ccp(0, i * TILE);
        _progressFg.position = ccp(0, i * TILE);
        [tempProgressFg addObject:_progressFg];
        [tempProgressBg addObject:_progressBg];
    }
    else
    {
        CCSprite * tempBg = [CCSprite spriteWithTexture:bg];
        CCSprite * tempFg = [CCSprite spriteWithTexture:fg];

        tempBg.scaleY = 1;
        tempFg.scaleY = 1;

        tempBg.scaleX = _progressWidth;
        tempFg.scaleX = _progressWidth;
        tempBg.position = ccp(0, i * TILE);
        tempFg.position = ccp(0, i * TILE);

        [self addChild:tempBg];
        [self addChild:tempFg];
        [tempProgressBg addObject:tempBg];
        [tempProgressFg addObject:tempFg];
    }
}

The result that i get is in this picture:
http://imgur.com/1dMpiUc,V47d65X

*

*is the _progressBg and Fg;

*are the tempBg and Fg (multiples of them);

I want to have them all look like number 1.
Am I doing something wrong? is that the correct way to coppy the bar?

La place Parmentier est un carrefour se trouvant à Ivry-sur-Seine. Elle forme le cœur du quartier Marat-Parmentier.

Situation et accès
Elle est le point de rencontre de la rue Jean-Bonnefoix (anciennement rue de Beauvais), de la rue Marat (anciennement rue Saint-Frambourg puis rue Parmentier), de la rue Raspail, de la rue Fouilloux et de l'avenue de la République.

Origine du nom
Cette place porte le nom de l'agronome Antoine Parmentier (1737-1813), qui a donné son nouveau nom au quartier Parmentier, aussi appelé quartier Saint-Frambourg, du nom de Fraimbault de Lassay, saint du . Cette appellation remonte à 1900 au plus tard.

Historique

Elle formait le centre de l'ancien hameau de Saint-Frambourg, et s'appelait « carrefour de Saint-Frambourg ».

Dû à sa faible élevation, elle est inondée lors de la crue de la Seine de 1910.

En 1993, Philippe Andrieux, conservateur en chef du patrimoine archéologique du département, entreprit des fouilles archéologiques dans l'îlot Parmentier, situé à cet endroit. Ces fouilles mirent au jour des restes d'un mur romain, des sépultures mérovingiennes et les fondations de la chapelle datant du , un édifice religieux étant toutefois déjà mentionné à cet endroit en 1155.

Elle est aujourd'hui ornée d'une statue intitulée Allégorie à la République installée à cet endroit en 1911. Cette statue de Marianne, œuvre du sculpteur Pierre Granet, provient de l'Exposition universelle de 1900.

L'acquisition de cette œuvre d'art est en  le fruit de la décision de Jules Coutant, député-maire socialiste d'Ivry-sur-Seine, et du conseil municipal, d'installer trois statues dans chacun des quartiers d'Ivry.

Bâtiments remarquables et lieux de mémoire
 Emplacement de l'ancien château d'Ivry, construit par Claude Bosc, prévôt des marchands de Paris.
 Emplacement de l'ancienne chapelle Saint-Frambourg. En 1675, la paroisse d'Ivry-sur-Seine obtint de Denis Sanguin de Livry, évêque de Senlis et des chanoines de celle chapelle d'y abriter une partie des reliques du saint. L'abbé Jean Lebeuf témoigne en 1757: « Au bout du village, en tirant vers Vitry, est une chapelle isolée du titre de Saint-Frambould ou Frambald, que l'usage fait appeler Saint-Frambourg. Elle a été rebâtie à neuf l'an 1665. ». Elle fut détruite vers 1830.
 Hôpital Charles-Foix, édifié sous le Second Empire par Théodore Labrouste.
 Statue de Pierre Granet, allégorie à la République. Une esquisse en plâtre existe au Musée d'Orsay.
 Immeuble Maison rouge, 2009.

New warehouses could be kept 1,000 feet from…
New warehouses could be kept 1,000 feet from homes if bill passes

PUBLISHED: March 30, 2022 at 3:09 p.m. | UPDATED: April 6, 2022 at 5:05 p.m.
An Inland Assembly member wants to put some distance between warehouses and people.
Legislation from Assembly Majority Leader Eloise Gómez Reyes, D-Colton, requires local governments, when approving new logistics projects of 100,000 square feet or more, to impose a 1,000-foot buffer between those projects and homes, schools, health care centers, playgrounds and other places especially at risk from air pollution blamed on warehouse-bound diesel trucks.
AB 2840 would also require a "skilled and trained workforce" as defined by the state Public Contract Code to build warehouses. Local residents — the bill doesn't define who qualifies as local — also would be entitled to a set percentage of jobs once the warehouse opens.
The California Chamber of Commerce opposes the bill "because it exacerbates California's existing supply chain problems," Adam Regele, CalChamber senior policy advocate, said via email.

The bill ignores "California's robust environmental laws and regulations … (that) mitigate all significant impacts," Regele said, adding that the state "needs more warehouses … to help alleviate critical supply chain issues" and that AB 2840 is inconsistent with an executive order "which emphasizes that the health of supply and distribution chains across California is a matter of vital statewide importance."
With flat, vacant, cheap land, a blue-collar workforce and proximity to freeways, rail lines and the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach, the Inland Empire is ground zero for an ongoing logistics boom that employs thousands and filled the region with mega-warehouses, often 1 million square feet or larger.
With those jobs come concerns about pollution from warehouse-filling diesel trucks in an area notorious for poor air quality. The boom shows no sign of slowing, and warehouses are starting to encroach on residential areas as developers with vacant land seek to profit from the demand for more logistics space.
Reyes, whose district includes Bloomington, Colton, Grand Terrace, Fontana, Muscoy, Rialto and part of San Bernardino, acknowledges the logistic industry's economic benefits.
"You can be a neighbor, but we want you to be a good neighbor," Reyes said by phone. "It isn't being a good neighbor if you're driving your diesel trucks through neighborhoods where these children are."
Reyes said she represents communities "where warehouses are coming up too close to (people), too close to the children. I feel it's my responsibility to bring this issue up with my colleagues and explain why we need better protections."

The future of the Inland Empire: cyclical change vs. secular change

Six of eight schools in Bloomington are or will be located close to a warehouse, Reyes added.
"The effect on our small children — we're going to feel already from those who are located there. But as (the logistics industry) expands, there's nothing good that can come from that."
Reyes added she's offering her bill because, in her view, local governments aren't requiring their own buffers.
Places of worship, day care centers, prisons and jails are among the places covered by Reyes' 1,000-foot buffer. The bill also would apply to existing warehouses that expand to 100,000 square feet or larger.
Reyes said the buffer is set at 1,000 feet because that's what the state attorney general's office recommended. Former Attorney General Xavier Becerra suggested a 1,000-foot setback in a series of mitigation measures his office proposed for warehouses.
It's not the first time that government has tried to widen the gap between new warehouses and the public. In 2019, Riverside County supervisors voted 3-2 to enact a Good Neighbor Policy for unincorporated areas that requires a 300-foot buffer between warehouse truck bays and loading docks and homes.
The final version of that policy allowed supervisors to choose whether to enforce it in their districts. Currently, Supervisor Kevin Jeffries enforces the policy in his district, which includes most of Riverside, Lake Elsinore, Wildomar and Canyon Lake, according to county spokesperson Yaoska Machado.
Supervisor Chuck Washington, who represents Temecula, Murrieta, Hemet and San Jacinto, also enforces the policy, according to Joseph Pradetto, Washington's chief of staff. The policy is not enforced in Supervisor V. Manuel Perez's district covering the Coachella Valley, Machado said.
It's not clear whether the policy is used in Supervisor Karen Spiegel's district, which includes Corona, Norco, Eastvale, Jurupa Valley and part of Riverside. Supervisor Jeff Hewitt's district, which covers the San Gorgonio Pass, Moreno Valley, Perris and Menifee, does not enforce the policy.
Reyes' bill is "exactly what I wanted our county to adopt as our standard for large warehouse (facilities)," Jeffries said via email. "It's not necessarily the size of the building that matters. It's really the number of tractor-trailer rigs that will utilize the site, and/or the number of delivery bays that the building will have."
Inland Empire is warehouse central, but how did it happen?
Pushback against warehouses in the Inland Empire gains momentum
Riverside County supervisors OK 'Good Neighbor' warehouse guidelines
California 1st state to set warehouse worker quota limits for retailers like Amazon
Warehouse tax deals, job forecasts must be reported under new law by Riverside assemblyman
San Bernardino County "is monitoring the bill but has not decided whether to take a position," county spokesperson David Wert said via email.
If passed, Reyes' bill would be the latest effort by Sacramento to rein in the logistics industry. Last September, Gov. Gavin Newsom signed a bill empowering warehouse workers like those in Amazon facilities to fight production quotas that critics say endanger workers and force them to skip bathroom breaks.
In 2019, Newsom signed legislation from Assembly Member Jose Medina, D-Riverside, requiring local governments to disclose details about warehouse projects that get tax breaks of $100,000 or more.
Reyes said she expects her bill will be heard by an Assembly committee in the next few weeks.

How to find Twitter Chats and Live-Tweeting Events
by Nick Cicero on Oct 23, 2012
Follow @nickcicero
Twitter has always been a platform anchored in communication and live-tweeting has become the backbone for extended network participation by users.
From industry-specific Twitter chats to TV shows, sporting events, and most recently, the debates, the hashtag explosion has enabled real-time conversation from a much larger audience. This week's presidential debate alone had 7.2 Million Tweets surrounding the hashtag #Debates in just under two hours.
Live-tweeting has become so popular in fact, that Twitter has actually defined it.
Live-tweet (v.): to engage on Twitter for a continuous period of time—anywhere from 20 minutes to a few hours—with a sequence of focused Tweets. The focus can be a big live event that everybody's paying attention to (e.g. a TV show or an award show) or it can be an event you create yourself (e.g. a Q&A session with your fans).
The problem with this influx of live-tweeting is that up until now there has been no way to keep track of them all. And while some pulled together lists on blogs or in Google Docs, there was no true centralized schedule for any and all live-tweeting taking place.
Enter: Chirp Guide.
Reading almost like a "TV Guide for Twitter," the Chirp Guide site catalogues live-tweeting communities across a number of popular categories to answer the simple question: "Is someone live-tweeting that?".
Users customize feeds based around categories and can drag selected tweeters in (and rejected tweeters out), to create personalized streams within those categories. Anyone who has fallen victim to "hashtag hijacking" by spammers will appreciate this feature.
"Chirp Guide is a resource for social media savvy consumers to find out who is live-tweeting about events and topics they love," said founder Rob Schutz.
It's not just about consumers though, anyone hosting a live-tweeting session can register them on the site too, offering brands or organizations the ability to have more reach for their own events. Chirp Guide not only offers a great directory, they actually suggest new chats for users to participate in.
If you haven't tried your hand at live-tweeting, now is definitely a good time to start. Here are a few tips:
1. Introduce yourself
Make sure you introduce yourself in the Twitter chat so people know who you are, what you're representing, and it's a great way to break the ice.
2. Talk to others
Part of the fun of a Twitter chat is the ability to meet new people anchored in a particular interest. React to other's responses, create side conversations, and build your network.
3. Warn your followers
While Twitter chats are great, they also can turn off others easily. Sometimes a quick tweet saying "I'm going into #xchat for a while – pardon the tweets" or something similar helps to alert your network. It also may also bring in new people to the conversation, you never know!
I'm always looking to find new groups of people to tweet with, so leave your favorite Twitter chats or events to live-tweet in the comments below.

Q: Node Cache-Control - unable to set headers in client/build I'm using create react app with node/express. I am attempting to resolve a performance issue reported by Lighthouse "Serve static assets with an efficient cache policy".
I have attempted to set Cache-Control in a variety of ways. Below is the current config and it's not working.
let options = {
      etag: true,
      maxAge: 31536000,
      redirect: true,
      setHeaders: function (res, path, stat) {
        res.set(
          {
          'x-timestamp': Date.now(),
          'robert': 'hi'
          }
        )
      }
    };

let indexOptions = {
  'Cache-Control': 'no-cache'
};

if (process.env.NODE_ENV === 'production') {
  // Serve any static files
  // app.use(express.static(path.join(__dirname, 'client/build')));
  // ADDED OPTIONS WITH CACHE EXPIRY
  app.use(express.static(path.join(__dirname, 'client/build'), options));
  // app.use(express.static(path.join(__dirname, 'client/build'), {'Cache-Control': 'client/build, max-age=31536000'}));
  // Handle React routing, return all requests to React app
  app.get('*', function (req, res) {
    // res.sendFile(path.join(__dirname, 'client/build', 'index.html'), {'Cache-Control': 'no-cache'});
    // res.sendFile(path.join(__dirname, 'client/build', 'index.html'));
    res.sendFile(path.join(__dirname, 'client/build', 'index.html'), indexOptions);
  });
}

I am not getting any errors, it's just not setting any of them on either index or other files.

A: I would check whether you have NODE_ENV set to production in your deployment, either by disabling the env check or console logging your env vars when the code is deployed. For what it's worth, I usually check for NODE_ENV !== 'development' as opposed to checking for production for a few reasons. Many build pipelines, like create-react-app, will strip the dev only code when building your code. Additionally, NODE_ENV = 'production' isn't necessarily set in production so you have to make sure whatever you're deploying to sets it.

Who Is Developing KVM Linux Virtualization?
Friday Feb 12th 2010 by Sean Michael Kerner
IBM, once a lead backer of the Xen open source hypervisor, reveals that it's fully in the KVM camp now.
Five years ago, the open source Xen hypervisor was the primary technology that big vendors like IBM and Red Hat were adopting and pushing. In 2010, that's no longer the case as the rival KVM effort is now getting the attention of both IBM (NYSE: IBM) and Red Hat (NYSE: RHT), as well as many others in the Linux ecosystem.
So what does this mean for the KVM community and the future of Xen? An IBM study looking at who's most involved in KVM may provide some answers.
Mike Day, chief virtualization architect for open systems development at IBM, noted during the Red Hat-sponsored Open Source Cloud Computing Forum this week that the KVM development community has become very active in 2009 -- encompassing a wide array of organizations.
He said that after examining the project's mailing list to gauge the activity taking place in KVM development, he found that there were some 884 unique participants in the mailing list, roughly equivalent to the number of active KVM developers. Those participants were spread across 382 unique address domains from somewhere in the range of 250 to 300 separate. According to Day, organizations that participate in KVM range from large corporations, to government and educational organization, as well as individual contributors.
That data also helped Day determine the top four contributors to KVM as measured by activity on the development mailing list. In first place is Red Hat, with 9,471 messages out of a total 18,303 messages, representing nearly 52 percent of list traffic for 2009.
Red Hat's interest in KVM flows in part from the company's acquisition of Qumarent in 2008 for $107 million. Qumranet is the vendor that originated the KVM technology. As of late 2009 with the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.4 release, KVM is also the preferred method for virtualization on its platform.
Red Hat isn't the only group active in KVM development, though. Day's list put IBM in the No. 2 spot with 1,382 messages or 8 percent of the KVM developer list traffic. Novell and Intel round out the list with approximately 5 percent each.
What About Xen?
IBM began contributing to Xen around January 2005 and has continued its work with that technology. Xen had also been a part of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.0, which was released in 2007, though Red Hat has since moved to KVM.
But with IBM so clearly embracing of KVM, is Big Blue likely to follow Red Hat? And where does that leave IBM customers that are running Xen?
"IBM is still actively supporting our RHEL and enterprise Linux customers who use Xen," Day told InternetNews.com. "We validate our System X platforms on Xen and fix problems reported by our customers. We will continue to do so as long as we have customers using Xen."
Moving forward, though, the future for IBM's current Xen users isn't terribly bright.
"In terms of new feature development, we are focusing on KVM and we have not directly been involved in upstream Xen development since 2008," Day said.

Dean Stockwell – Delicate to Delirium
(Dean Stockwell photo by Dennis Hopper)
"Long Day's Journey Into Night," states Stockwell, "was as intense and rewarding an experience as I've had. It's a small cast, and one of the greatest plays of the century by one of the greatest American playwrights. We rehearsed it six weeks with a brilliant director, Sidney Lumet. I feel that the film is the best American film made from a play – that I've ever seen. There was no screenplay. Some cuts were made to make it feasible for a film – but nothing was transposed. It was very gratifying."
In the book, Kate, by Charles Higham, Sidney Lumet is quoted: "Dean would come in with a bottle of vodka, and Kate at first almost did what she did to him in the movie – struck him. She was so angry at him – out of love. But she was tender to him. The first day of work was cold, and he had forgotten to bring an overcoat. The next day, there was a coat in his dressing room; she had gone out after shooting and bought him one. She always had an enormous affinity for heavy drinkers – maybe because of Tracy."
Of Sons and Lovers, Stockwell maintains, "It's a classic film. It holds up – over a long period of time. It had a brilliant cast, and I feel it was a pretty damn good rendition of that book." Sons and Lovers headed the National Board of Review's 10 Best Films of 1960 list. It tied with The Apartment as the NY Film Critics Best Film. In his FIReview, Henry Hart wrote: "Rarely has so honest and meaningful a novel been turned into so good a motion picture." He noted, "Stockwell does things . . . an actor twice his age would be proud of," and added, "I think the thing about his performance that fascinated me most was his seemingly spontaneous use of bits of business which seemed to come . . . from his feeling for the character."
Compulsion (1959)
Dean Stockwell made three remarkable films in his mid-career starting with Compulsion followed by Sons and Lovers and Long Day's Journey into Night.
The O'Neill classic, says Stockwell, "remains one of my favorite films. And Paris, Texas is certainly another. The film was put together and shot in a most unusual way. Sam Shepard, probably our leading playwright right now, wrote the screenplay. But, as we started, it was simply a synopsis, a breakdown of scenes – with no dialogue at all. At the time, Sam was shooting Country, which opened the New York Film Festival. Everyday, when he got through acting, he would type out dialogue for Paris, Texas." (Interview with Dean Stockwell)
Dean Stockwell in Blue Velvet
Dean Stockwell, Blue Velvet – It's not easy to out-bizarre your fellow cast members in a David Lynch movie, but Dean Stockwell managed to do just that in his one-scene turn as Frank Booth's (Dennis Hopper) unctuous, kabuki-faced, satin-jacketed mentor in malevolence, Ben. The mellow yin to Hopper's manic yang, Stockwell's eerie lip-synching rendition of Roy Orbison's "In Dreams" just barely hints at what lies inside the depraved mind of the drug dealer/pimp. (via)
"I hate to admit it, but you can't do a role unless it's somewhere in your psyche. People don't realize how vast the subconscious is. It's like infinity." Dean Stockwell.

\section{Introduction}

For studying AGN winds the fundamental problem relates to the
understanding of a question: how the plasma goes through the Light
Cylinder Surface (LCS), which is the hypothetical zone where the
linear velocity of rotation equals the speed of light. This implies
that the plasma particles, which move along quasi-straight magnetic
field lines in the nearby area of the LCS, must reach the speed of
light. Generally speaking no physical system can maintain such a
motion and a certain twisting process of the magnetic field lines
must operate on the LCS. On the other hand if the trajectories are
given by the Archimedes spiral, then the particles can cross the LCS
avoiding the light cylinder problem \cite{r03}. An additional step
in this investigation is to identify the appropriate mechanism that
provides the twisting of the magnetic field lines, giving rise to
the shape of the Archimedes spiral, and in turn insures that the
dynamics is force-free.

Since the innermost region of AGNs rotates, the role of the
Centrifugal Force (CF) appears interesting. The centrifugally driven
outflows have been extensively studied. Generalizing the work
developed in \cite{gl97} it was shown that due to the centrifugal
acceleration, electrons gain very high energies with Lorentz factors
up to $\gamma\sim 10^8$ \cite{osm7,ra8}. This implies that the
energy budget in the AGN winds is very high.

The centrifugally driven parametric instability was first introduced
in \cite{incr1,incr3} for the Crab pulsar and AGN jets respectively.
Another kind of the instability which might be induced by the CF is
the so called Curvature Drift Instability (CDI). In \cite{mnras} the
two-component relativistic plasma has been considered to study the
role of the centrifugal acceleration in the curvature drift
instability for pulsar magnetospheres. The investigation
demonstrated high efficiency of the CDI. To investigate the twisting
process of magnetic field lines due to the CDI, we apply the method
developed in \cite{mnras,ff} to AGN winds.

The paper is arranged as follows. In Sect. 2, we introduce the
curvature drift waves and derive the dispersion relation. In Sect.
3, the results for typical AGNs are presented and, in Sect. 4, we
summarize our results.
\begin{figure}
  \resizebox{\hsize}{!}{\includegraphics[angle=0]{9710fig.ps}}
  \caption{Two orthonormal bases are
considered: i) cylindrical components of unit vectors, (${\bf
e}_\Phi, {\bf e}_R$, ${\bf e}_x$); ii) unit vectors of the system
rigidly fixed on each point of the curve, (${\bf e}_r, {\bf
e}_{\theta}$, ${\bf e}_x$), respectively. $C$ is the center of the
curvature. Hereafter, this set of coordinates is referred to as the
field line coordinates.}\label{fig}
\end{figure}

\section{Main consideration} \label{sec:consid}
We begin our investigation by considering the two-component plasma
consisting of the relativistic electrons with the Lorentz factor
$\gamma_{e}\sim 10^{5-8}$ (see \cite{osm7,ra8}) and the bulk
component (protons) with $\gamma_{b}\sim 10$. Since we are
interested in the twisting process, we suppose that initially the
field lines are almost rectilinear to study how this configuration
changes in time.

\begin{figure}
  \resizebox{\hsize}{!}{\includegraphics[angle=0]{9710lambda1.ps}}
  \caption{The dependence of logarithm of the instability timescale
  on the normalized wave length. The set of parameters is
  $\gamma_{e0} = \{10^5;10^6;10^7;10^8\}$, $R_B\approx R_{lc}$, $n_{e0} =
0.001cm^{-3}$, $\lambda_{\phi} = 100R_{lc}$, $L/L_E = 0.01$, $L_E =
10^{46}erg/s$ is the Eddington luminosity for the given AGN
mass.}\label{lambda}
\end{figure}

We express the equation of motion in the cylindrical coordinates
(see Fig. \ref{fig}) and we start by considering the Euler equation:

\begin{equation}
\label{eul} \frac{\partial{\bf p_{\alpha}}}{\partial t}+({\bf
v_{\alpha}\nabla)p_{\alpha}}=
-c^2\gamma_{\alpha}\xi{\bf\nabla}\xi+\frac{q_{\alpha}}{m_{\alpha}}\left({\bf
E}+ \frac{1}{c}{\bf v_{\alpha}\times B}\right),
\end{equation}
the continuity equation:

\begin{equation}
\label{cont} \frac{\partial n_{\alpha}}{\partial t}+{\bf
\nabla}(n_{\alpha}{\bf v_{\alpha}})=0,
\end{equation}
and the induction equation:
\begin{equation}
\label{ind} {\bf \nabla\times B} = \frac{1}{c}\frac{\partial {\bf
E}}{\partial t}+\frac{4\pi}{c}\sum_{\alpha=e,b}{\bf J_{\alpha}},
\end{equation}
where $\alpha=\{e,b\}$, $ \label{xi} \xi\equiv
\sqrt{1-\Omega^2R^2/c^2}, $, ${\bf p_{\alpha}}$ is the momentum,
${\bf v_{\alpha}}$ - the velocity and ${\gamma_{\alpha}}$ is the
Lorentz factor of the relativistic particles.

We linearize the system of equations Eqs. (\ref{eul}-\ref{ind}),
perturbing all physical quantities around the leading state
$\Psi\approx \Psi^0 + \Psi^1$, where $\Psi = \{n,{\bf v},{\bf
p},{\bf E},{\bf B}\}$ and $\Psi^1(t,{\bf r})\propto\Psi^1(t)
\exp\left[i\left({\bf kr} \right)\right]$.

Then, from Eqs. (\ref{eul}-\ref{ind}) we derive the linearized set
of equations governing the CDI:

\begin{figure}
  \resizebox{\hsize}{!}{\includegraphics[angle=0]{9710density1.ps}}
  \caption{The dependence of logarithm of the instability timescale
  on the density normalized by the medium density. The set of parameters is

R_{lc}$, $\lambda_{\phi} = 100R_{lc}$ and $L/L_E = 0.01$. Here,
$n_{e0}$ is normalized by the intergalactic medium density,
$n_m\approx 1cm^{-3}$}\label{density}
\end{figure}

\begin{equation}
\label{eulp} \frac{\partial p^1_{{\alpha}x}}{\partial
t}-i(k_xu_{\alpha}+k_{\phi}v_{_\parallel})p^1_{{\alpha}x}=
\frac{q_{\alpha}}{m_{\alpha}}v_{_\parallel}B^1_{r},
\end{equation}
\begin{equation}
\label{contp} \frac{\partial n^1_{\alpha}}{\partial
t}-i(k_xu_{\alpha}+k_{\phi}v_{_\parallel})n^1_{\alpha}=
ik_xn_{\alpha}^0v^1_{\alpha x},
\end{equation}
\begin{equation}
\label{indp} -ik_{\phi}cB^1_{r} = 4\pi
\sum_{\alpha=e,b}q_{\alpha}(n_{\alpha}^0v^1_{\alpha
x}+n_{\alpha}^1u_{\alpha}).
\end{equation}
By $u_{\alpha}= \gamma_{\alpha_0} v_{_\parallel}^2/(\omega_B R_B)$,
we denote the curvature drift velocity along the $x$ axis, where
$\omega_{\alpha B} = q_{\alpha}B_0/m_{\alpha}c$, $R_B$ is the
curvature radius of magnetic field lines, $v_{_\parallel} \approx
c\cos(\Omega t)$, $B_0 = \sqrt{2L/(R_{lc}c^2)}$,  $L$ is the
luminosity of the AGN and $R_{lc}=c/\Omega$ - the light cylinder
radius. In deriving Eqs. (\ref{eulp}-\ref{indp}), the wave
propagating almost perpendicular to the equatorial plane, was
considered and the expression $v^1_r\approx cE^1_x/B_{0}$ was taken
into account. For simplicity, the set of equations are given in
terms of the coordinates of the field line (see Fig. \ref{fig}).

We express $v^1_{\alpha x}$ and $n^1_{\alpha}$ in the following way:

\begin{equation}
\label{anzp} v^1_{\alpha x}\equiv V_{\alpha x}e^{i{\bf
kA_{\alpha}(t)}},
\end{equation}
\begin{equation}
\label{anzn} n^1_{\alpha}\equiv N_{\alpha}e^{i{\bf kA_{\alpha}}(t)},
\end{equation}
where
\begin{equation}
\label{Ax} A_{\alpha x}(t) = \frac{u_{\alpha}t}{2} +
\frac{u_{\alpha}}{4\Omega}\sin(2\Omega t),
\end{equation}
\begin{equation}
\label{Af} A_{\alpha\phi}(t) = \frac{c}{\Omega}\sin(\Omega t).
\end{equation}
Then, by substituting Eqs. (\ref{anzp}) and (\ref{anzn}) into Eqs.
(\ref{eulp}-\ref{indp}), it becomes straightforward to solve the
system for the toroidal component and find a corresponding increment
of the instability:

\begin{equation}
\label{increm} \Gamma \approx
\left(-\frac{3}{2}\frac{\omega^2_{e}}{\gamma_{e_0}}\frac{k_xu_{e}}{k_{\theta}c}\right)
^{1/2}\left|J_0\left(\frac{k_xu_{e}}
{4\Omega}\right)J_{0}\left(\frac{k_{\theta}c}{\Omega}\right)\right|.
\end{equation}

\begin{figure}
  \resizebox{\hsize}{!}{\includegraphics[angle=0]{9710gamma1.ps}}
  \caption{The dependence of logarithm of the instability time scale
  on $log(\gamma_{e0})$. The set of parameters is
  $R_B\approx R_{lc}$, $n_{e0}/n_m = 0.001$, $\lambda_{e0} =
R_{lc}$, $\lambda_{\phi} = 100R_{lc}$ and $L/L_E =
\{0.01;0.05;0.3;1\}$.}\label{gamma}
\end{figure}

\section{Results} \label{sec:results}
We investigate the CDI growth rate in terms of the wavelength, the
density of relativistic electrons, their Lorentz factors and the AGN
bolometric luminosity.

In studying the behaviour of the instability as a function of the
wavelength, we examine the typical AGN parameters:
$M_{BH}=10^{8}\times M_{\odot}$, $\Omega = 5\times 10^{-5}s^{-1}$
and $L = 10^{44}erg/s$, where $M_{BH}$ is the AGN mass, $M_{\odot}$
is the solar mass and $L$ is the bolometric luminosity of the AGN.

We consider Eq. (\ref{increm}) and plot the logarithm of the
instability timescale $\tau\equiv 1/\Gamma$ versus the wavelength.
The present consideration is based on the centrifugal acceleration.
As shown in \cite{osm7}, due to the CF, the relativistic particles
can reach very high Lorentz factors. For this purpose, it is
reasonable to investigate the efficiency of the instability in terms
of the wavelength but for different values of Lorentz factors. Fig.
\ref{lambda} shows the mentioned behaviour for different parameters.
Different curves correspond to different values of Lorentz factors.
For the given range of $\lambda_x$ and different values of
$\gamma_{e0}$, the CDI time scale varies from $\sim 10^7s$
($\lambda_{x}/R_{lc} = 1$, $\gamma_{e0} = 10^8$) to $\sim 10^9$
($\lambda_{x}/R_{lc} = 2$, $\gamma_{e0} = 10^5$).

In Fig. \ref{density} the plots of $log(\tau)$ versus the AGN wind
density illustrate that the timescale is a continuously decreasing
function of $n_{e0}/n_m$. As we see from the figure, $\tau$ varies
from $\sim 10^9s$ ($n_{e0}/n_m = 0.001$, $\gamma_{e0} = 10^5$) to
$\sim 10^6s$ ($n_{e0}/n_m = 1$, $\gamma_{e0} = 10^8$).

In Fig. \ref{gamma}, the plot of $log(\tau)$ versus
$log(\gamma_{e0})$ is shown for different luminosities. As we see,
the instability timescale varies from $\sim 10^{10}s$ ($\gamma_{e0}
= 10^5$, $L/L_E=1$) to $\sim 10^8s$ ($\gamma_{e0} = 10^7$,
$L/L_E=0.01$). On the other hand, the plots for different
luminosities illustrate another property of $\tau$: by increasing
the luminosity of the AGN, the corresponding instability becomes
less efficient.

To observe this particular feature more clearly, we consider how in
Fig. \ref{lumin} the dependence of $log(\tau)$ on $L/L_E$ is clearly
evident for different values of densities. From the plots, it is
seen that by increasing the luminosity, the timescale continuously
increases. For the afore mentioned area of quantities, the timescale
varies from $\sim 10^7s$ ($L/L_E = 0.01$, $n_{e0}/n_J = 1$) to $\sim
10^{10}s$ ($L/L_E = 1$, $n_{e0}/n_J = 0.001$).

We observe from the present investigation that the instability
timescale varies in the following range: $\tau\in\{10^6;10^{10}\}s$.
To specify how efficient the CDI is, it is pertinent to examine an
accretion process, estimate its corresponding evolution timescale,
and compare this value with that of the CDI.

\begin{figure}
  \resizebox{\hsize}{!}{\includegraphics[angle=0]{9710luminosity1.ps}}
  \caption{The dependence of logarithm of the instability time scale
  on $log(\gamma_{e0})$. The set of parameters is $R_B\approx
  R_{lc}$, $n_{e0}/n_m = \{0.001;0.01;0.1;1\}$, $\lambda_{e0} =
R_{lc}$, $\lambda_{\phi} = 100R_{lc}$ and $L/L_E =
0.01$.}\label{lumin}
\end{figure}

Considering the problem of fuelling AGNs \cite{king} it was showed
that the accretion timescale can be estimated by the following form
$t_{evol}  =3.53\times
10^{13}\left(10L/L_E\right)^{-22/27}\left(10^{-8}M_{BH}/M_{\odot}\right)^{-4/27}s$.
As is clear from this formula, the accretion evolution timescale
depends on two major AGN parameters, the luminosity ($L$) and the
AGN mass ($M_{BH}$). Therefore, it is reasonable to investigate
$t_{evol}$ versus $L$ and $M_{BH}$. Let us examine the following
ranges of variables: $M_{9}\equiv M_{BH}/(10^9\times
M_{\odot})\in\{0.01;1\}$ and $L/L_E\in\{0.01;1\}$. Then it is easy
to show that the minimum value of the evolution timescale is of the
order of $\sim 10^{12}s$, which corresponds to $M_9 = 1$ and $L/L_E
= 1$, whereas the maximum value, approximately $\sim 10^{15}s$,
corresponds to the following pair of variables $M_9 = 0.001$ and
$L/L_E = 0.01$.

As has been found, $\tau$ varies in the range $\sim
(10^{6}-10^{10})s$, whereas the sensible area of $t_{evol}$ is $\sim
(10^{12}-10^{15})s$. Therefore, the instability timescale is less
than the evolution timescale of the accretion by many orders of
magnitude, which implies that the linear stage of the CDI is
extremely efficient.

The twisting process of magnetic field lines requires a certain
amount of energy and it is natural to study the energy budget of
this process. For this reason we have to introduce the maximum of
the possible luminosity $L_{max} = \dot{M}c^2$ and compare this with
the "luminosity" corresponding to the reconstruction of the magnetic
field configuration $L_m\equiv \Delta E_m/\Delta t\approx\Delta
E_m/\tau$, where $\Delta E_m$ is the variation in the magnetic
energy due to the curvature drift instability.

We consider a AGN of the luminosity, $L = 10^{45}erg/s$, then, the
accretion provides the following maximum value: $L_{max} =L/0.1=
10^{46}erg/s$. On the other hand, if the process of sweepback is
realistic, the magnetic "luminosity" cannot exceed $L_{max}$. The
magnetic "luminosity" can be expressed by following $L_{m} =
B_r^2R_{lc}^3\kappa/(4\pi\tau)$, with $B_r = B_r^0exp(t/\tau)$,
where $B_r^0$ is the initial perturbation of the toroidal component
of magnetic field and $\kappa\equiv \Delta R/R_{lc}<<1$ represents
the non-dimensional thickness of a thin spatial layer close to the
LCS.

We introduce the initial non-dimensional perturbation, $\delta$,
defined to be $\delta\equiv B_r^0/B_0$, where by $B_0$ we denote the
induction of the magnetic field in the leading state. By considering
the following set of parameters $\gamma_{e0} =
\{10^5;10^6;10^7;10^8\}$, $R_B\approx R_{lc}$, $n_{e0} =
0.001cm^{-3}$, $\lambda_{\phi} = 100R_{lc}$, $\lambda_{x} = R_{lc}$
and $L = 10^{45}erg/s$, we investigate the behaviour of
$L_{m}/L_{max}$ versus the initial perturbation for the
characteristic timescale ($t\approx\tau$). One can see that,
$L_{m}/L_{max}$ varies from $\sim 0$ ($\delta = 0$) to $\sim
2.3\times 10^{-9}$ ($\delta = 0.1$, $\gamma_{e0} = 10^8$).
Therefore, $L_{max}>>L_{m}$ which means that only a tiny fraction of
the total energy goes to the sweepback, making this process
feasible.

\section{Summary} \label{sec:summary}

We summarize the principal steps and conclusions of our study to be:

\begin{enumerate}

      \item Considering the relativistic two-component plasma for
      AGN winds, the centrifugally driven
      curvature drift instability has been studied.

      \item Taking into account a quasi single approach for the particle dynamics,
      we linearized the Euler continuity and induction equations. The dispersion
      relation characterizing the parametric instability of the toroidal component of the magnetic
      field has been derived.

      \item By considering the proper frequency of the curvature drift modes,
      the corresponding expression of the instability increment has been obtained for
      the light cylinder region.

      \item The efficiency of the CDI has been investigated
      by adopting four physical parameters, namely: the wavelength,
      flow density and Lorentz factors of electrons, and the luminosity
      of AGNs.

      \item By considering the evolution process of accretion,
      the corresponding timescale has been estimated for a
      physically reasonable area in the parametric space
      $L-M_{BH}$. It was shown that the instability timescale was
      lower by many orders of magnitude than the evolution
      timescale, indicating extremely high efficiency of the CDI.

      \item Examining the instability from the point of view of
      the energy budget, we have seen that the sweepback of the
      magnetic field lines requires only a small fraction of the
      total energy, which means that the CDI is a realistic
      process.

What is the Finger Lakes Trail System?
The Finger Lakes Trail System includes the main Finger Lakes Trail (FLT) from the Pennsylvania-New York border in Allegany State Park to the Long Path in the Catskill Forest Preserve. The main FLT is 580 miles long. There are six branch trails and 29 loop trails and spur trails that extend from the main FLT. These branch, loop and spur trails currently total 412 miles. Including the Main Trail and all branch, loop, and side trails, the Finger Lakes Trail System offers 1,000 miles of hiking.
The Trail System has been and continues to be built and maintained by 15 organizational and approximately 60 individual and family trail sponsors. All of these groups and individuals are volunteers.
The concept of a long-distance hiking trail traversing New York State was launched in late 1961. The Finger Lakes Trail Conference, Inc. (FLTC) was organized in 1962 to promote and coordinate the building, maintenance, and protection of the FLT System. The 992-mile trail system is located almost equally on private and public land. There are currently approximately 700 private landowners who allow the trail to be on their land.
Between the Pennsylvania border and the northeast end of the Onondaga Branch (421 miles), the Finger Lakes Trail is the official route of the North Country National Scenic Trail. When completed, the North Country Trail will extend 4,600 miles across seven states between eastern New York and central North Dakota.
Our newest branch trail — the Crystal Hills Branch is part of the Great Eastern Trail (GET) which will extend from Alabama to New York.
The Finger Lakes Trail is a footpath. Please read the following policy statements.
Footpath Use Policy
FLTC Footpath Use Policy
The designation of the Finger Lakes Trail (FLT) as a "footpath" establishes the criteria for its construction and maintenance, so as to minimize human impact on the natural state of the land, and maximize the trail user's "wilderness type" experience. As a result, the FLT may easily be distinguished from "multi-use trails" in appearance, design, and enjoyment. The use of conveyances, including but not limited to bicycles, motorized vehicles, horses, and snowmobiles, violates the above desired objectives, and, the mission of the Finger Lakes Trail Conference (FLTC).
Adopted, FLTC Board of Managers, January 25, 2009
Geocache Policy
Geochaching on the Finger Lakes Trail
The Finger Lakes Trail Conference Board of Managers (FLTC BOM) adopts this policy in order to strike a balance between the value of "geocaching" and similar pastimes as outdoor recreational activities and the potentially significant negative impacts to natural and cultural resources and landowner/land manager permissions that unmanaged geocaching and similar activities can cause. The FLTC BOM enacts this policy for the primary purpose of protecting and preserving the continuity and long-term viability of the trail. The FLTC desires to minimize impact on the environment, maximize the hiker's wilderness experience, and support the right of landowners and land managers to control public access to, and use of, their lands. The FLTC also intends its FLTC Geocache Policy to be consistent with North Country Trail Association (NCTA) Geocache Policy, which can apply to all North Country National Scenic Trail that is coincident with the Finger Lakes Trail, and the Appalachian Trail Conservancy's ATC Policy on Geocaching.
Please see the FLTC Geocache Policy and permission form
Who owns the trail?
The Finger Lakes Trail was built by volunteers and is maintained by the FLTC and affiliate clubs, organizations, and individuals. Much of the trail is on public land—land owned by the State of New York in its State Forests, State Parks, Wildlife Management Areas, and other public lands of local governments. But much of the trail is on private land with the permission of the owners. Some of this private land is owned by land trusts or conservation organizations, but most of the private land is owned by families and individuals who have chosen to share a narrow corridor through their property with responsible hikers. Without the generous support and cooperation of these private owners, the Finger Lakes Trail probably would not exist.
Who can use the trails of the Finger Lakes Trail System?
The entire FLT System is open for use by the general public with no fees charged for its use. However:
The Trail is closed where it crosses private land for 24 hours on the first Monday of February each year. This is necessary to protect the legal rights of landowners.
The Trail is closed on several sections on private land during hunting season(s) at the discretion of the private landowner. You must respect landowner rights: do not use those sections of the Trail when they are closed. Hunting closures are indicated on FLTC maps and guidebooks and in Trail Condition notices on this website.
Even on sections of Trail that are not closed during hunting season, hikers are urged to respect the right of responsible hunters to engage in legal hunting. Minimize use of sections where hunters are present, wear blaze orange, and avoid interference as much as possible.
The Trail System is intended for foot travel. Motorized vehicles, mountain bikes, horses, and snowmobiles are not permitted unless specifically approved by the landowner or public authority having jurisdiction.
Groups should be kept as small as possible, particularly for backpacking when the size should not exceed ten persons.
Following these simple rules will help preserve the Finger Lakes Trail System for years to come.
Respect private property and stay on the trail
Travel in groups of 10 or fewer people
Share shelters and campsites with others
Camp or build fires only in designated areas
Cook on campstoves if possible
Use wood only when necessary for fires
Use dead wood
Do not cut green wood
Purify all water you use
Take all litter back home.
Who maintains the Trail?
The Finger Lakes Trail was built and is maintained by volunteers. Each year, volunteers log in approximately 20,000 hours of trail work. But trail work alone does not keep the organization going. There are many other tasks performed by volunteers to support the organization and provide services to our members, our partners, and the general public.
We hope that you will consider volunteering some of your time and talents to the FLTC. Here is a list of volunteer opportunities to consider. Have a look and then contact us if you are interested.
