\section{Introduction}

The formalism proposed by E. Verlinde\cite{Verlinde} obtains the gravitational acceleration  by using the holographic principle and the equipartition law of energy. His ideas relied on the fact that gravitation can be considered universal and independent of the details of spacetime microstructure.  Besides, he brought new concepts concerning holography since the holographic principle must unify matter, gravity and quantum mechanics. It is important to mention that similar ideas have also been given by Padmanabhan\cite{Pad2}.

An important concept used by Verlinde is the notion of bits in which it can be  understood as the smallest unit of information in a holographic screen. Indeed, bits play an essential role in Verlinde formalism because when the total bits number is assumed to satisfy completely the equipartition law of energy, we have the well known formula of the classical gravitational acceleration. So, the aim of this work is to show that when we consider that the total number of bits no longer satisfies the equipartition theorem then, at first, we can obtain two important results which are both the quantum correction of the gravitational acceleration and MOND-type theory\cite{MOND1,MOND2,MOND3}.

In other words, we will obtain a constant parameter ($\alpha$) that is a measure of how much a difference between classical and quantum results concerning the number of bits is relevant.   We will see that this difference is not conserved at the quantum level.   In the second part of this work, the $\alpha$-parameter is a temperature function and a phase transition and critical phenomena analysis is provided.

This paper is organized in a way such that in section 2 we have depicted very briefly some Verlinde's entropic concepts.  In section 3 we have computed the $\alpha=N_S-N_E$ to show that $\alpha=0$ is not conserved at the quantum level.   In section 4 we have provided a brief review of MOND's main ideas.  In section 5 we have calculated the $\alpha$-parameter through MOND theory.   In section 6
we have carried out a phase transition and critical phenomena analysis on the holographic screen based on the computation of the $\alpha$-parameter.  In section 7 the conclusions are written.

\section{Some Entropic gravity ideas}

Before we begin to describe our proposal, let us review, in a short way, the Verlinde formalism. The model considers a spherical surface as being the holographic screen, with a particle of mass $M$ positioned in its center. The holographic screen can be imagined as a storage device for information. The number of bits, which is the smallest unit of information in the holographic screen, is assumed to be proportional to the  holographic screen
area $A$
\begin{eqnarray}
\label{bits}
N = \frac{A }{l_P^2},
\end{eqnarray}

\ni where $ A = 4 \pi r^2 $ and $l_P = \sqrt{\frac{G\hbar}{c^3}}$ is the Planck length and $l_P^2$ is the Planck area.  We can see clearly that the connection between $l_p$ and $\hbar$ characterizes $l_p$ as a quantum parameter.  It means that its introduction can be considered a semiclassical feature.
In Verlinde's framework one can suppose that the bits total energy on the screen is given by the equipartition law of energy

\begin{eqnarray}
\label{eq}
E = \frac{1}{2}\,N k_B T.
\end{eqnarray}
It is important to notice that the usual equipartition theorem in Eq. (\ref{eq}), can be derived from the usual Boltzmann-Gibbs thermostatistics.
Let us consider that the energy of the particle inside the holographic screen is equally divided by all bits in such a manner that we can have the expression

\begin{eqnarray}
\label{meq}
M c^2 = \frac{1}{2}\,N k_B T.
\end{eqnarray}
With Eq. (\ref{bits}) and using the Unruh temperature equation  \cite{unruh} given by

\begin{eqnarray}
\label{un}
k_B T = \frac{1}{2\pi}\, \frac{\hbar a}{c},
\end{eqnarray}
we are  able to obtain the  (absolute) gravitational acceleration equation

\begin{eqnarray}
\label{acc}
a &=&  \frac{l_P^2 c^3}{\hbar} \, \frac{ M}{r^2}\nonumber\\
&=& G \, \frac{ M}{r^2}\,\,.
\end{eqnarray}
From Eq. (\ref{acc}) we can see that Newton's constant $G$ is just written in terms of the fundamental constants, $G=l_P^2 c^3/\hbar$.

\section{Quantum gravitational correction through Verlinde's concepts}

It is well known that the infrared behavior of quantum gravity is more interesting than the ultraviolet one.  However, the low energy propagation of massless particles leads us to quantum corrections for long distances.  In this way, the effective action may be expanded in a Taylor momentum expansion.  In the current literature, the standard calculation procedure is through Feynman rules.  In a different way, in
this section we will use the holographic and equipartition law ideas to compute the quantum correction to the Newtonian potential.

We begin our formalism  by rewriting expression  (\ref{eq}) in a similar form as the one from Padmanabhan\cite{Pad1}, except by the fact that we consider just the holographic screen, as
\begin{eqnarray}
\label{class}
\frac{A}{l_p^2}=\frac{E}{(1/2) k_BT}.
\end{eqnarray}

\ni Then, our proposal is to assume that there is a numerical difference between the total bits's number in the holographic screen and the bits' number that exist in the equipartition
\begin{eqnarray}
\label{dif}
\frac{A}{l_p^2}-\frac{E}{(1/2)k_BT}=\alpha,
\end{eqnarray}
or
\begin{eqnarray}
\label{dif2}
N_S-N_E=\alpha,
\end{eqnarray}
where

\begin{eqnarray}
\label{dif3}
N_S\equiv\frac{A}{l_p^2},
\end{eqnarray}
and

\begin{eqnarray}
\label{dif4}
N_E\equiv\frac{E}{(1/2)k_BT}.
\end{eqnarray}

\ni Hence, as we have said before, we can understand that the $\alpha$-parameter measures the difference between the quantum $N_S$ and the classical $N_E$ objects.   However, since $N_S$ and $N_E$ are two objects that provide one quantity, namely, the number of bits, naively one can say that $\alpha \rightarrow 0$.   But here we will make two assumptions.   The first one is that $\alpha << 1$ but not zero.  And the second one is that $N_S > N_E$, namely, $\alpha > 0$.  We believe that both assumptions are not very different from reality.  Since they are simple assumptions, any result that contradicts any one of them will be easily noticed.

Initially if we consider that the $\alpha$  parameter is a constant then (\ref{dif}) can be written as

\begin{eqnarray}
\label{conta1}
k_BT&=&\frac{2E\, l_p^2}{A-\alpha l_p^2}\nonumber\\\nonumber\\
&=&\frac{2E l_p^2}{A} \(1- \frac{\alpha l_p^2}{A}\)^{-1}.
\end{eqnarray}

\ni Performing a binomial expansion in (\ref{conta1}) we obtain that
\begin{eqnarray}
\label{conta12}
k_BT=\frac{2E l_p^2}{A} \(1+ \frac{\alpha l_p^2}{A}+...\),
\end{eqnarray}
where we have assumed that $ \frac{\alpha l_p^2}{A}<< 1$. Using the Unruh temperature formula,
Eq.(\ref{un}), and $E=M c^2$ in  (\ref{conta12}), we can obtain a modified gravitational acceleration

\begin{eqnarray}
\label{conta2}
a=\frac{G M}{r^2} \(1+ \frac{\alpha}{4\pi} \frac{l_p^2}{r^2}+...\).
\end{eqnarray}

\ni The second term in Eq.(\ref{conta2}) is the first order non-relativistic quantum correction to the gravitational acceleration.
There are several works that show different results for the coefficient $\alpha$ when general relativity is treated as an effective field theory. Among them we can mention works of Donoghue\cite{Don}, Akhundov et al\cite{Akh} and Bjerrum-Bohr et al\cite{BDH}.
As a simple potential cannot be considered an ideal relativistic concept, the general corrections would have the following expression

\begin{eqnarray}
\label{conta5}
V(r)=\frac{G m M}{r} \( 1+\beta \frac{l_p^2}{r^2}+... \),
\end{eqnarray}
where the $\beta$-parameter would rely on the exact definition of the potential [8].  It would be computed in the post-Newtonian expansion. The factor $l_p^2 /r^2$ is dimensionless and gives an expression parameter for the long distance quantum effects. The values of $\beta$ can be summarized in the table I\footnote{Extracted from S. Faller, Theorieseminar Universit\"{a}t K\"{o}ln-02.02.2009.}

\begin{table}[h]
\center
\caption{}
\begin{tabular}{lc}
\hline
Work & $\beta$ \\
\hline
Donoghue  & $\;-\frac{127}{30\pi^2}(\approx -0.43)$\\
Akhundov et al.  & $\;-\frac{107}{30\pi^2}(\approx -0.36)$ \\
Bjerrum-Bohr et al.  &\;\;\; $\frac{41}{10\pi}(\approx 1.31) $ \\
\hline
\end{tabular}
\end{table}

\vskip 1 cm
\noindent We will use that the gravitational acceleration is related to the potential through the equation
$$ma=\left|\frac{dV}{dr}\right|,$$ then from (\ref{conta2}) and (\ref{conta5}) we can obtain a connection between $\beta$ and $\alpha$ given by

\begin{eqnarray}
\label{conta7}
\beta=\frac{\alpha}{12\pi}.
\end{eqnarray}

\ni Observing table I we can see that the first two negative results means that the number of bits that satisfy the equipartition theorem is greater than the total number of bits of the holographic screen. We consider that these results are not consistent with our proposal because we have assumed that $N_S\geq N_E$. Only the positive $\beta, (\beta=\frac{41}{10\pi})$ agrees with our model, i.e., $N_S\geq N_E$. We can imagine that $\alpha$ represents a small number of bits on the holographic screen. We have verified that if $\alpha=49$ then the value of $\beta$ obtained by Eq. (\ref{conta7}) approximately reproduces the value of $\beta$ given by Bjerrum-Bohr et al.  In fact, 49 bits is an extremely small value compared, as an example, with the number of bits on the holographic screen, Eq.(\ref{bits}), with radius 1 m that is $\approx 10^{70}$. Therefore, $\alpha=49$ can be interpreted as a fluctuation in the equality of the bits number of the holographic screen and the bits number that satisfies the equipartition theorem. A  small deviation of equality (\ref{class}) leads to a quantum correction in the gravitational acceleration. It is important to mention here that in our proposal
we are not using any usual procedure of a quantum field theory or effective field theory for the gravitational interaction. Only the holographic principle and the equipartition theorem which are the basis of the Verlinde formalism were used.

\label{MOND}

\section{MOND's review}

The MOND theory successfully explains the majority of the rotation curves of the galaxies. MOND theory reproduces the well known Tully-Fisher relation\cite{TF} and it can be also an alternative to dark matter.

Basically, this theory is a modification of Newton's second law in which the force can be described as

\begin{eqnarray}
\label{mond1}
F=m \, \mu \(\frac{a}{a_0}\) a,
\end{eqnarray}
where $\mu(x)$ is a function with the following properties: $\mu(x)\approx 1$ for $x>>1, \mu(x)\approx x$ for $x<<1$ and $a_0$ is a constant. There are different interpolation functions for $\mu(x)$ \cite{prof1,prof2}. However, it is believed that the main implications caused by MOND theory do not depend on the specific form of these functions. Therefore, for simplicity, it is usual to assume that the variation of $\mu(x)$ between the asymptotic limits occurs abruptly  at $x=1$ or $a=a_0$.

Let us consider \cite{JAN} that, below a critical temperature, the cooling of the holographic screen is not homogeneous. We choose that the fraction of bits with zero energy is given by the equation

\begin{eqnarray}
\label{mond2}
&\frac{N_0}{N}=1-\frac{T}{T_c},
\end{eqnarray}
where $N$ is the total number of bits given by the equation (\ref{bits}), $N_0$ is the number of bits with zero energy and $T_c$ is the critical temperature. For $T\geq T_c$ we have that $N_0=0$ and for $T\leq T_c$ the zero energy phenomenon for some bits starts to occur. Equation (\ref{mond2}) is a standard relation of critical phenomena and second order phase transitions theory. From (\ref{mond2}) the number of bits with energy different from zero for a given temperature $T<T_c$ is

\begin{eqnarray}
\label{mond3}
N-N_0=N\frac{T}{T_c}.
\end{eqnarray}
Considering that the energy of the particle inside the holographic screen is equally distributed over all bits with nonzero energy and using relation (\ref{mond2}) in the equipartition law of energy, we obtain that

\begin{eqnarray}
\label{mond4}
Mc^2=\frac{1}{2} N \frac{T}{T_c} k_B T.
\end{eqnarray}
Then, combining (\ref{bits}), (\ref{un}) and (\ref{mond4}), we are able to derive, for $T<T_c$, the MOND theory for Newton's law of gravitation\footnote{In references\cite{Ep1} and \cite{Ep2} the authors derive MOND's theory by considering that the bits of the holographic screen are fermionic excitations.}

\begin{eqnarray}
\label{mond5}
a\(\frac{a}{a_0}\)=G\frac{M}{r^2},
\end{eqnarray}
where

\begin{eqnarray}
\label{mond6}
a_0=\frac{2\pi c k_B T_c}{\hbar}.
\end{eqnarray}
Using $a_0\approx 10^{-10} m s^{-2}$ we obtain $T_c\approx 10^{-31} K$, an extremely low temperature which is far from the usual temperature observed in our real word.

\section{MOND-Type Theory}

From Eqs.(\ref{mond1}) and (\ref{mond4}) we can deduce that the argument of the interpolation function $\mu(x)$ can be written as $$x\equiv \frac{a}{a_0}=\frac{T}{T_c}\,\,.$$ So, in our MOND-type theory we are considering that the interpolation function is

\begin{eqnarray}
\label{interpo}
T \leq T_C  \Rightarrow  \mu(x)=\frac{T}{T_c}, \nonumber\\
T > T_C \Rightarrow  \mu(x)=1.
\end{eqnarray}
In Figure 1 we plot $\mu(T)$ as function of $T$.

\begin{figure}[ih]
\includegraphics[scale=.7,angle=0]{inter0.EPS}
\caption{An interpolation function curve as function of $T$.}
\end{figure}

\ni This interpolation function, Eq.(\ref{interpo}), is not a widely-used interpolating function\cite{prof1,prof2} in MOND's theory and because of this reason that we have called our model as MOND-type theory. However, the use of this interpolation function in our approach leads to a second order phase transition phenomenon in MOND's theory where we can derive critical exponents.

Considering that there is a difference between the number of bits in the holographic screen and the number of bits that exists in the equipartition law, we can choose a particular expression for the $\alpha$-parameter, Eq.(\ref{dif}), that leads to MOND-type theory. To do this we will write Eq.(\ref{mond3}) in the form

\begin{eqnarray}
\label{mond7}
N_S-N_E=N_S\(1-\frac{T}{T_c}\),
\end{eqnarray}
or
\begin{eqnarray}
\label{mond8}
\frac{N_S-N_E}{N_S}=\(1-\frac{T}{T_c}\),
\end{eqnarray}
where $N_S$ and $N_E$ is defined in Eqs.(\ref{dif3}) and (\ref{dif4}) respectively. It is clear that for $T\geq T_c$ we have $\frac{N_S-N_E}{N_S}=0$, since above the critical temperature $T_c$ we have that $N_S=N_E$. Then, from Eq.(\ref{mond7}), the $\alpha$-parameter is given by

\begin{eqnarray}
\label{alfa}
\alpha=N_S\(1-\frac{T}{T_c}\),
\end{eqnarray}

\ni which shows that in our MOND-type theory the $\alpha$-parameter depends on the temprature.

\section{Phase transition and critical phenomena analysis}

\ni In order to establish our results within the context of phase transition and critical phenomena, we plot in Figure 2, as an example, a typical spontaneous magnetization curve\cite{Huang}.
We can observe that for temperatures below $T_c$ the magnetization is different from zero and for temperatures above $T_c$ the magnetization is zero.

In Figure 3 we have plotted Eq.(\ref{mond8}) as a function of $T$. Also, we can observe that for temperatures below $T_c$ the bits difference number is different from zero and for temperatures above $T_c$ the bits difference number is zero. Comparing both figures we can notice some similarities between the two graphics.

\begin{figure}[ih]
\includegraphics[scale=.7,angle=0]{mag.EPS}
\caption{A typical spontaneous magnetization curve as function of $T$.}
\end{figure}

\begin{figure}[ih]
\includegraphics[scale=.7,angle=0]{phase.EPS}
\caption{The order parameter, $ \frac{N_S-N_E}{N_S}$, as function of $T$.}
\end{figure}

If we consider $\frac{N_S-N_E}{N_S}$ as an order parameter\cite{Huang} then we can observe that the critical exponent $\beta$ associated with the order parameter is equal to 1, i.e.

\begin{eqnarray}
\label{order}
\frac{N_S-N_E}{N_S}\propto\left|\tau\right|^\beta,
\end{eqnarray}
where
\begin{equation}
\label{AAA}
\tau\equiv 1-\frac{T}{T_c},
\end{equation}

\ni and $\beta=1$. We can use a scaling law for critical exponents, called Josephson scaling\cite{Huang} which can be written as

\begin{eqnarray}
\label{sl}
\nu d=2-\alpha,
\end{eqnarray}
where $\nu$ is the correlation length critical exponent, i.e.

\begin{eqnarray}
\label{len}
\xi(T) \propto\left|\tau\right|^{-\nu},
\end{eqnarray}

\ni and $d$ is the space dimension. In a short description, the correlation length is a measure of the range in which the fluctuations in one region of space are correlated with those in another region. Two points which are separated by a distance larger than the correlation length will each one have fluctuations where they are expected to be independent, i.e., uncorrelated. Experimentally, the correlation length is found to diverge at the critical point.

The derivative of energy $E$ with respect to temperature, which is the heat capacity at constant volume, is zero because in the Verlinde formalism the energy is a constant ($E=M c^2$). Therefore the critical exponent $\alpha$ is zero.
From the Josephson scaling law, Eq.(\ref{sl}), we obtain that $\nu=2$ since $d=1$ in Verlinde's formalism. So, the correlation length near $T=T_c$ is

\begin{eqnarray}
\label{clen}
\xi(T) \propto\left|\tau\right|^{-2},
\end{eqnarray}

\ni which shows that at $T=T_c \;(\tau=0)$ the correlation length, $\xi(T)$, also diverges in our model. This important result (which confirms what we have mentioned before) indicates that there is a phase transition in the holographic screen from Newton to MOND's regime.

\section{conclusions}

Two recent formalisms that were originated in order to introduce alternative models concerning gravity theory, the so-called MOND and Verlinde's entropic gravity promoted a whole scientific research. The first one had the objective to explain the galaxies' rotation curves and it was considered as an alternative to dark matter.  The second one was aimed to continue the ideas of Beckenstein and Hawking who explored the black holes thermodynamics through entropic concepts and the Unruh thermodynamical acceleration definition, we can obtain Newton's gravitational law.

In this work, we have used both frameworks to obtain an $\alpha$-parameter which has worked as a measure for classical/quantum differences and to analyze the phase transition and critical phenomena.   What is new here about these results is that both are considered on the holographic screen, which is an important concept in the current information theory.

The first result concerning the $\alpha$-parameter has shown that the difference between the number of bits on the holographic screen ($N_S$) and the equipartition law ($N_E$) is not zero, as one would expect.   In other words, since we have shown also that $\alpha$ has quantum features, at the quantum level, $N_S\,-\,N_E$ is not conserved, which could be considered as a kind of anomaly.   The $\alpha$-parameter has also appeared as the perturbative correction of the Newton law and we have compared it with other values obtained in the literature.

Considering MOND, we have obtained another relative value for $N_S\,-\,N_E$.   However, considering phase transition and critical phenomena in the holographic screen, we have demonstrated precisely that the correlation length diverges during the phase transition. Consequently, there is a phase transition in the holographic screen.

St. Stephen's has a food barrel in which we collect non-perishable food items for distribution to the hungry. We have a basket under the ushers' table at the entrance of the church, and we ask that you bring food offerings to the Sunday service that you attend and place them in the barrel. During the week, the food barrel is located in the narthex. Some appropriate items are pasta, canned vegetables, canned fruit, dried fruit, soups, cereals, peanut butter, rice, beans, powdered milk, coffee, tea, and canned tuna. Food is collected primarily for Apostles' House, a transitional house for the homeless in Newark, which last year served over 14,000 clients.
St. Stephen's, in partnership with local high school and Girl Scout troops shares in the work of providing meals at the Soup Kitchen housed at Holy Trinity Church in West Orange. Three or four times a year St. Stephen's hosts the meal. This involves preparing meals and providing all the extras in order for individuals in West Orange to enjoy nutritious food and warm fellowship. Hosting on a Saturday means handling set up and preparation from 10:30 am to noon; serving guests at noon; and then cleaning up after 1 pm. Each Saturday approximately 80 guests are served. This is a meaningful activity for families to undertake together.
This is an ecumenical ministry to homeless families of Essex County. The Director of the Essex County IHN works with churches and synagogues that are members of the network. Each participating congregation houses three to four families in their buildings for a week or two each year. The families move each week to another host church or synagogue until they find suitable housing. The Network Director screens and selects the families, who are referred by the Legal Aid Society, Welfare, and other social agencies. She guides them in their search for housing, job training, and employment.
This outreach project involves 50 or more parishioners during each hosting week and affords opportunities for everyone to help. Some volunteers stay in the Parish Hall overnight with the guest families. Others prepare and serve meals, move cots and belongings, do laundry, play with children, and make monetary and food contributions. There also is the opportunity just to be a friend to another or to offer a listening ear.
St. Stephen's hosts IHN guests during the vacation weeks for the Preschool.
The North Porch Women and Infants' Centers, a project of the Episcopal Churchwomen in the Diocese of Newark, provide emergency seven-day supplies of formula, baby food, diapers, clothing, bed linens and other supplies for needy mothers and infants in the Newark, Paterson, Dover and Clifton areas of northern New Jersey.
Besides maintaining a collection box throughout the year for donations of baby supplies, on two occasions St. Stephen's holds a "Baby Shower at Coffee Hour" to focus attention on the need for contributions. Parents of St. Stephen's Preschool also contribute to this project.
In the spring of 1858, one of the founders of St. Stephen's Church, Israel Dodd Condit, gave the church eight acres of land for a cemetery, and the site was consecrated for that purpose in October of that year by the Bishop of New Jersey, the Right Reverend George W. Doane.
The cemetery was established as one for the community, open to those of all faiths, and in the ensuing century and a half has become a resting place for many who have played significant roles in the history and culture of Millburn Township and its environ. A mausoleum, The Chapels at Short Hills, was opened in the cemetery in 2003.
Tours of the cemetery, in which impersonators stand at selected grave sites to speak for the persons buried there, have been offered periodically since 2008. In addition to people who were prominent in governance and development of the township in its early years, tours have featured a leading broadway actress, a well-known opera singer, an Episcopal Bishop who was a major church leader during the Civil War, Civil War veterans, World War II soldiers killed in action, and many others with township connections who lived interesting and productive lives.
Advance notice of future tours will be posted on this website.
Each year during Thanksgiving season, community agencies in Essex County distribute box dinners to families in need.
Parishioners are encouraged to donate a box dinner containing all the ingredients needed to prepare a festive holiday meal for a family. Parishioners are asked to sign up in advance so that St. Stephen's may advise the agencies of the number of dinners to be provided. Lists of menu items to be included in the box and a sign-up sheet are made available to donors during coffee hour about three weeks before Thanksgiving. Members that wish to be involved but are unable to shop themselves may make a financial donation. Youth group members shop for the dinner ingredients and assemble those boxes. Turkey dinners are collected in the Parish Hall on the Sunday before Thanksgiving.
In addition to donating box dinners, drivers are needed each year to make deliveries to the agencies. Parishioners may volunteer for delivery service when signing up to provide a dinner.
For a number of years, St. Stephen's has worked with social service agencies to provide Christmas gifts for needy families in our area.
Parishioners who participate in the Angel Tree project may elect to provide gifts to an individual or to an entire family. Guidelines for appropriate gifts are provided.
Beginning on the last Sunday in November, members of the parish are given the opportunity at coffee hour to take paper angels on which the first names of children and adults are written. Gift collection is at the coffee hour on a Sunday in mid December. In addition to bringing gifts, parish members may assist the coordinators with the sorting and distribution of gifts.
The Mission to Seafarers' frontline staff are there for seafarers in trouble, distress, or despair. Piracy, shipwreck, abandonment and separation from loved ones are just a few of the problems merchant seafarers face.
St. Stephen's parishioners have knitted hundreds of scarves and hats as gifts for seaman entering Port Elizabeth. If you are interested in being part of the knitting team, patterns can be downloaded here. Wool donations are also accepted to help keep our knitters busy throughout the year.


PHOENIX -- Retirees and other residents from all over the country were among those who donated nearly $500,000 to help Arizona defend its immigration enforcement law, with most chipping in $100 or less, according to an analysis of documents obtained Thusday by The Associated Press.
The donations, 88 percent of which came from through the defense fund's website, surged this week after the federal government sued Tuesday to challenge the law. A document from Gov. Jan Brewer's office showed that 7,008 of the 9,057 online contributions submitted by Thursday morning were made in the days following the government's filing.
Website contributions came from all 50 states, plus the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico, and nearly 2,000 came from within Arizona. Donations ranged from $5 to $2,000, with the vast majority between $10 and $100.
The Arizona law includes a requirement that police enforcing another law must investigate the immigration status of people if there is "reasonable suspicion" to believe the people are in the United States illegally.
"Arizona needs our help," said Mary Ann Rohde, a retired municipal worker who lives in Rialto, Calif., who donated $20 with her husband. "It's a disgrace what our government is doing."
Howard E. Sanner, of Houston, said Arizona's approval of its law should help prod the federal government to act on border security to help prevent criminals and terrorists from entering the country illegally.
"It's just a mess that has to be straightened out," said Sanner, a retired clothing and linen salesman who said he supports legal immigration and donated $5 to the fund.
Brewer established the Governor's Border Security and Immigration Legal Defense Fund with an executive order on May 26. Her office said the state had received about $10,000 in unsolicited donations from people in dozens of states by then.
It's unclear what the state's legal costs will be in defending the law. Snell & Wilmer, the Phoenix-based law firm representing the state in the pending challenges, told a federal judge Wednesday that its lawyers were working late into the evening to respond to all the filings in the cases.
U.S. District Judge Susan Bolton has imposed limits on the size of so-called "friend of the court" briefs filed by groups in support or opposition to the law.
Brewer hired the private lawyers to represent the state even before the Democratic attorney general, Terry Goddard, agreed to Brewer's demand to withdraw from the state's defense. He had opposed the legislation but said he was willing to do his duty to defend the state law.


That Noida is a favourable real estate destination for all in and around the National Capital Region (NCR) is a foregone conclusion. Bustling with life and activities, one can choose from a platter that offers all—commercial, residential and retail property segments.
However, while searching for a property you might have to go through a property dealer. Well, it's not at all a bad idea. There are several property dealers in Noida. Some of the names in the category include International Estate Market, Prop World Realty, City Properties and Castle Properties. These are just to name a few. You can choose from a lot many.
So, what are the factors that make Noida a favourable real estate destination? If we dig a little further, we will figure out that there are ample reasons. Currently, enjoying the status of the largest industrial town of Asia, the property market of Noida has been experiencing an all-time high. With investors and end users flocking to Noida with each passing day, the realty market seems all the more booming with prospects and returns. Today, Noida has become the centre point of all activities—especially real estate.
Is Noida a Good Place to Invest in Properties? It is.
Following the current trends and the growth trajectory of property prices in Noida, that recorded a whopping 30% hike almost every year, the future is quite optimistic.
The demand for various types of properties—residential, commercial and retail have been increasing with each passing day. The major reasons for the same are strategic location and well connectivity to the rest of the city and world-class infrastructure. All these aspects have been responsible for the growth in the demand of properties in India. According to a research conducted recently, the New Okhla Industrial Development Authority (Noida), it was found that there still exists a huge demand for residential properties in Noida and even Greater Noida. This is not where it ends; several industries are coming up across the city that has increased job opportunities to a great extent in Noida. A decade down the line, the opportunities in every segment including real estate are ample with an upward trajectory in the future.
This is an instance of the grand infrastructural development that has been raging all across Noida. The Greater Noida Expressway is a six-lane Highway that connects Delhi to other major parts of Uttar Pradesh. The grand expressway is nearly 23 kilometres long. Further expansion of another 40 sectors alongside the Expressway is under construction. These include Taj Economic Zone, International Airport and a proposed aviation Hub.
Upcoming plans and expansions of urban conglomerates within Noida and Greater Noida will increase easy accessibility to Aligarh, Agra and Mathura.
The proposed Export Promotion zones like Yamuna Expressway and the Taj Economic Zones are expected to boost the overall property market scenario in the entire region.
Thus, it can be said that Noida is all set to become the latest hotspot of real estate destination along the entire NCR. So, if you are planning to invest in a property in Noida, now is the perfect time as it is bound to yield great results in the coming years.

NHL halts U.S.-Canada travel for games because of COVID-19
December 20, 2021 Staff Reporter International Travel 0
The NHL season will continue despite the recent increase in positive tests for the coronavirus, the NHL and NHL Players' Assn. said Sunday, but games involving travel between teams based in the United States and Canada will be postponed starting Monday and extending through Thursday, the last day before the league's scheduled holiday break.
The league and the players' union also said they are "actively discussing" players' scheduled participation in the Beijing Winter Olympics hockey tournament and they expect to make a determination "in the coming days." It appears increasingly unlikely that players will travel to China for the Games.
The NHL formulated two schedules, one with a break to allow players to represent their homelands at the Olympics and another that did not halt play in the event players don't go to China. That second schedule could be adjusted to accommodate games that have been postponed.
The latest NHL postponements include the Kings' scheduled game against Edmonton on Wednesday at Staples Center and the Ducks' games at Edmonton on Monday and at Vancouver on Thursday. Sunday's announcement brought the number of postponements to 39, with additional postponements possible after the holiday break.
The league also announced that Detroit Red Wings games would be postponed at least through Dec. 26.
The league and union said decisions to shut down teams will continue to be made on a case-by-case basis, noting that while the number of positive test results has risen, a low number of those cases have resulted in "concerning symptoms or serious illness."
In a joint statement they added, "With the number one priority of maintaining the health and safety of our NHL community, amid changing and unpredictable conditions, we are determined to remain flexible and adaptable both in terms of scheduling and in adjusting Protocols as necessary."

Stacey Abrams is Practically Begging to be Joe Biden's Running Mate
Her campaigning for the job knows no bounds.
For weeks, Abrams has been all but begging former vice president Joe Biden to pick her as a running mate.
Abrams's thirst for power appears to know no bounds. According to a Politico report published Tuesday, the former Georgia lawmaker has been waging an aggressive behind-the-scenes lobbying effort in addition to her public self-promotion campaign.
Abrams, who has repeatedly declared herself the winner of Georgia's 2018 gubernatorial election despite receiving fewer votes than her Republican opponent, has been "privately calling Democratic powerbrokers, asking them to tell Biden campaign officials that she should be vice president."
These private efforts to promote herself as the ideal candidate are in line with what Abrams has been saying in public. In multiple interviews with major media outlets, Abrams has described herself as "an excellent running mate" with a "strong history of executive and management experience," as well as expertise in international affairs gleaned from "25 years in independent study of foreign policy."
Let's not forget this, from back in February:
Georgia Democrat Stacey Abrams, who has said she plans to be president within the next two decades, said Monday that "of course" she would be honored to be the vice presidential pick of whoever secures the 2020 nomination.
"The first time I was on here I got the question about running as VP during the primary, and I very, apparently famously said, 'no, because you don't run for second in a primary,'" Abrams said on ABC's "The View."
"However, because that conversation started, I'm now getting the question a lot from folks and the answer is, of course I would be honored to run as vice president with the nominee."
Abrams, a former minority leader in the Georgia state House who launched a failed bid for governor in 2018, added that, as a black woman, she's in an "unusual position" of being considered the possible next vice president.
"It would be doing a disservice to every woman of color, every woman of ambition, every child who wants to think beyond their known space for me to say no, or to pretend oh no, I don't want it," Abrams said. "Of course I want it. Of course I want to serve America, of course I want to be a patriot."
Asked again if she wants to run for president one day, Abrams said, "absolutely."

AutoPilot Chlorine Generator 36 Digital Disp.
With Microprocessor controls, digital read-out of pool water temperature, current salt level, purifier production level, Soft Reverse cell cleaning cycle and Boost Cycle, the Pool Pilot Digital is a technologically advanced unit. The easy to read digital readout on this In-Line unit even tells you how much salt to add should it run low. The Pool Pilot Digital has a patented temperature compensation feature that actually adjusts chlorine production according to the demands of the water temperature and operates in water temperatures up to104. It can purify pools up to 20,000 gallons and has a built-in time clock to control your pool pump...all at the touch of a button.
I have about a 13,000 gallon pool with spa with would be the best pool pilot clorinator for my pool.
A Answered on 7/25/2017 by InyoPools Product Specialist Alex V.
Hello, Yes, this would be adequate for a 13,000-gallon pool.
Hello Glen - The DIG36 has a digital display and the ST36 features "soft touch" buttons with LED lights. The DIG36 can provide power to a 2.5HP pump at 220v if you purchase an optional Relay Kit. If you are installing a variable speed pump, the AutoPilot will only provide power. The controls would be operated at the variable speed pump. You can view the pricing of the replacement cells here.
Loved this system during the summer. We were first time pool owners this year and after the initial balancing of chemicals, we didnt touch the chemicals for the remainder of the year!
WE have owned an Autopilot before and just replaced it after 10 years. There are several on the market for less, but when you see the quality you will buy Autopilot.We bought the difital to the the timer, now we set it and it runs the pool pump and the sanitizer. No fuss and saves on electricity. Now I don't have to make sure it is turned off after 8 hours.
Just an added note, if you plan to run your single or dual stage pump with the Pool Pilot, make sure you ask about the optional pump relay.
After some research I decided on the Auto Pilot and couldn't be happier. Easy to install and setup, no more chlorine. 15,000 gallon pool and the 36 cell makes all the chlorine I need for here in the Desert.

The polytechnic sector is an unsual part of the economy, expanding when other industries are contracting and jobs are scarce, struggling when the rest of the economy is expanding.
For the past six years the economy has been growing and polytechnic rolls have been dropping to the point that their accounts are in deficit and some have needed financial bail-outs.
These are the state-owned training institutes, the sector also has subsidised private training establishments that go out of business if they cannot adjust to the needs of industries and trainees when jobs are plentiful.
And there are also providers of on-the-job training who do well in times such as this.
The Government has now decided to take direct control of the entire sector.
It blames competition for the plight of the state-owned polytechs of late and it intends to put all of them, including private training establishments and apprenticeships under the direction of a central body, to be called the NZ Institute of Skills & Technology.
The 16 polytechs around the country will become campuses of the central institute. The private training establishments and on-the-job apprenticeships will have to conform to the policies and direction of the central body to get subsidies.
The private sector's industry training organisations will no longer be able to choose the providers of the industry's training courses.
That will be done by the Government's Tertiary Education Commission which also oversees universities. Nor will the industry organisations set standards of skills and assessment in their trades.
Those will be set by the providers with the industry organisation reduced to an advisory role.
Announcing this regime yesterday, Education Minister Chris Hipkins expected it would result in more on-the-job vocational training rather than institionalised education but it is hard to share that confidence. He insists there will be no polytech jobs cut and none of the financially failing institutes faces closure.
The structure he has described will be run by a supreme institute and it will set up "regional leadership groups" to assess the local workforce skill requirements and suggest the courses that should be offered in that region.
In these groups local industry would be just one voice, along with iwi, schools and local government.
Currently 140,000 people are engaged in apprenticeships or other on-the-job training in New Zealand, more than the 110,000 enrolled in polytechs.
On-the-job training provides people with an income as well as skills they can apply as they learn. Institutional learning tends to be more theoretical and unduly long. Courses can run for years and turn out graduates who employers find still have much to learn when they start a job.
It does institutions no harm to struggle to fill their courses when jobs are plentiful.
It forces them to pare their courses to the essentials and not waste students' time.
They will become more responsive to industry's practical needs if their survival depends on it.
This regime replaces competitive forces with "collaborative" talk.

da www.eurodad.org
New research by US think tank Global Financial Integrity (GFI) shows that developing countries are losing up to $US 107 billion per year in tax revenues as a result of trade mispricing by multinational companies, and the figure is growing each year. The amount represents an average of 4.4% of the entire developing world's average revenue.
The report entitled "The implied tax revenue loss from trade Mispricing" refers to trade mispricing as "the deliberate over invoicing of imports or under invoicing of exports, usually for the purpose of tax evasion".
GFI research shows that countries like Zimbabwe are losing more than 30% of their tax revenue to trade mispricing, with others also losing significant amounts, such as Nicaragua (27%), the Republic of Congo and Mali (both 25%).
Moreover, the report shows that trade mispricing trends are increasing over time, as tax revenue losses from worldwide trade mispricing have increased from $US 65 billion in 2002 to $US135 billion in 2006.
It concludes that trade mispricing is one of the most prominent drivers of illicit financial flows, mostly channeled through tax havens, which have been estimated to amass over $US 1 trillion per year.
The study looks at just one specific form of trade mispricing, that which arises when transactions are reinvoiced. Due to this, GFI's estimates are lower that those of previous research conducted by Eurodad member Christian Aid, which estimates that tax losses for developing countries from all forms of trade mispricing are approximately $US160 billion per year.
Authors of the report state further reasons why their estimates may be significantly understated, including the absence of data for many developing countries, mostly in Africa; economic models that cannot fully calculate illicit flows; and the fact that researchers did not consider revenues losses due to the evasion of customs duties and value-added taxes.
Greater transparency is therefore needed to curb this phenomenon, including by ending bank secrecy and curtailing trade mispricing. Other key recommendations outlined in the report are:
-Require country by country reporting of sales, profits and taxes paid by multinational corporations;
-require beneficial ownership information of all subsidiaries, trusts and foundations and
-require automatic cross-border exchange between government authorities of tax information on personal and business accounts.

Victor's Justice? The Different Treatment Meted Out To 'Nazi' Aggression & To Soviet Aggression
March 3, 2018 March 3, 2018 renegade 0 Comments
From Wear's War
…one of the clearest distinctions between a true court of law and a lynching mob is that the court judges all without discrimination.
After Germany's defeat in WWII, the Nuremberg and later trials were organized primarily for political purposes rather than to dispense impartial justice. Wears War brings to you each week a quote from the many fine men and women who were openly appalled by the trials. All of these people were highly respected and prominent in their field, at least until they spoke out against the trials.
U.S. journalist William Henry Chamberlain:
Supreme Court Justice Robert H. Jackson, American prosecutor in the Nürnberg trial, ex-Secretary of War Henry L. Stimson, and others hailed the war crimes trials as a new and higher development in international law. It seems improbable that this will be the verdict of impartial history. For both the underlying conception of the trials (that victors are qualified to be impartial judges of vanquished) and many of the methods employed in conducting prosecutions and extracting confessions run counter to all established principles of western justice and international law…
The real case against "victors' justice" is…the serious injury which the trials inflicted upon civilized standards of impartial judicial procedure and moral consistency. This injury may be found in the following points.
1. There was no pretense of enforcing responsibility before the law. Only Germans were punished, in many cases for actions which were also committed by soldiers and citizens of one or all of the victorious powers. But one of the clearest distinctions between a true court of law and a lynching mob is that the court judges all without discrimination.
2. The very important principle that judges and juries should have no personal interest or prejudice in the cases with which they are concerned was not and could not be upheld in trials of defeated enemies by their conquerors.
Buy Germany's War
3. This defect of the trials was aggravated because a considerable number of American citizens of recent origin, political or racial refugees from Nazi Germany, took part in the investigations and police actions which accompanied the prosecutions. The desire of some of these individuals for vengeance was human and understandable. But this desire should not have been satisfied through American courts.
4. The evidence on which some of the verdicts were based was tainted by the use of brutality and chicanery in extorting confessions.
5. The trials set a dangerous precedent in violation of the well-known principles of national and international law. One of these is that there should be no ex post facto punishment. The other is that military officials and civilian officials should not be held responsible for carrying out orders received from high authorities. Under this last precedent, every military and naval officer who takes part in working out war plans could be indicted and executed as a "promoter of aggressive wars," if his country should be defeated.
6. The proscription of the vanquished by the victors is unpleasantly reminiscent of the practices of 20 centuries ago, when captured rulers were strangled after being led in Roman triumphs. The war-crimes trials were hailed and justified as war deterrents. But it seems far more probable that the only effect will be to turn future wars into bitter-end struggles of mutual extermination. There has never been a war in history in which the victors did not consider the vanquished "guilty."
One of the counts in the Nürnberg indictment was the planning and waging of wars of aggression. It is now a matter of public historical record, and it was a fact well known to the Nürnberg prosecutors and judges, that the Soviet Union was an active partner in Hitler's scheme for attacking and partitioning Poland, to say nothing of its acts of aggression against the Baltic states and Finland. So, if the punishment of aggressive war was the purpose of the trials, the place of the Soviet representatives was in the dock with the accused, not on the bench with the judges. In view of the different treatment meted out to Nazi aggression and to Soviet aggression, the assumption seems justified that the Germans were punished not because they waged aggressive war, but because they waged it unsuccessfully.

Life is a journey and a test for everyone. We have to go through different paths on this journey. When face challenges, we get the negative thoughts and plan to quit. Because we always look for the small hills ahead of us and forget the mountain behind us, which were difficult to climb. Be strong, compassionate, humble and unique. Even when you are not sure about the success, keep telling yourself that things will work out. The positive attitude and optimism will change your life.
Learning is a continuous and never-ending process. A few days back 96-Year-old Karthyayani scored 98 Marks in Kerala Literacy Mission test and proved that age is just a number and not a barrier to learn. Never stop learning. Learn new things every day. Through reading and self-learning, we can learn many new things. In this digital technology world, we can read and learn many things free of cost. Many experts from different parts of the world are ready to share their knowledge free of cost through social media groups and blogs. Make the maximum benefit of this facility.
Money is necessary for the living. But don't give priority to money in your life. Money can't buy everything required in life. Work to gain experience and learn, don't work just for money. Be sincere, honest and loyal to work. Create more value, don't work just for entertainment. Definition of "wealth and success" is different for each and everyone. Define "wealth" and "success" for yourself.
Shift your motivation from receiving to giving. Help others in their need. Helping doesn't mean just with money, but you can help others by sharing knowledge, helping in work etc.
Be thankful to people you depend on and who help you. It gives them happiness and motivation to help others.
Be fearless of failures, learn to overcome obstacles and live life to the fullest.
Set and focus on the goal. Break your goal into smaller parts. Visualise yourself achieving success. Never quit until you achieve success.
These are a few points collected from reading the articles. It doesn't mean that I have all these attitudes.
Never think money will give success in life.
Read and listen more than you talk. Listening is the best form of respect.
Don't let others judge who you are. Don't judge, criticise or hurt others.
If find any mistakes in others, help them to correct it.
Learn and strive to become a better version of yourself.
Have an open mind and humbleness to learn new things and keep yourself grounded.
Remind yourself about your strengths. Others may highlight your weakness and try to pull you down. Just ignore this and believe in yourself.
Keep friendship only with good people. Never keep bad friends.
Surround yourself with positivity. That will help you find the good in other people.
Teach yourself to see the good in others. That will help to be more positive and experience happiness more deeply.
Seeing the good in others is a difficult task, but, it is worth the effort.
Stop feeding your mind with negative thoughts like "I'm a failure". Remember, failure is not the end, but an opportunity to learn a new lesson.
Seek to understand every perspective on a topic.
Your frowning face makes people who look at you will also feel the same. Keep smiling to spread smiles on other's face.
Don't keep negativity in your mind for too long, otherwise, that will kick out the positivity soon.
Remember, people treat you how they feel about you. Always keep calm and politeness in your words and actions. Never become rude.
Do not focus on problems because that will find more problems. Focusing on the possibilities will help you find more opportunities.
The power of positive thinking is known to many people but very few people know the power of negative thinking. Both are powerful but in opposite way.
Watch this beautiful video clarifying 2 simple tips to have a perfect attitude. If you have any difficulty in watching the video, you can read the transcript below.
There was a man who used to earn money by selling different colours balloon daily. Whenever his sale used to go down, he leaves some balloon in the sky and children used to get excited after seeing that balloon in the sky and they immediately used to visit that man to buy one such balloon because of which his sale used to grow once again.
One day a boy asked him that if he will leave a BLACK colour balloon in the sky, will it flew? That man smiled at that boy and said it's not the colour of the balloon but it is what's inside that makes it go up.
These same principles are applied to our life also. Our ability, attitude and motivation always help us to move ahead in life.
Ability teaches us that How We DO, Motivation teaches us that Why We Do, but it's our Attitude that decides How Well We DO.
We all know the power of POSITIVE THINKING but very few people understand the power of NEGATIVE THINKING.
Yes…this both things are powerful but in opposite way.
Positive thinking encourages a person to touch new heights of success, on the other hand, Negative thinking is the reason behind self-destruction.
For positive thinking people, the problem is like a big opportunity for them whereas, for a negative thinking people, the problem is like a big obstacle for them.
Attitude starts forming in us from the childhood itself. There are 3 E's factor that largely determines our attitude formation.
You went to a shop and got a very good service there. You went to another shop but there you were treated very badly. The reason behind this is a different culture. Culture determines our environment which indirectly decides our attitude.
A positive experience with a person attracts us towards them while negative experience keeps us away from them.
Experience or events act as guidelines for the future.
You teach your children that telling lie is a bad habit, on the other side, you speak like on phone just to make an excuse. At this stage, children get confused between what they learned and what they experienced and ultimately they decide their conclusion on the basis of their experience.
It refers to both formal and informal education. We convert our education into knowledge, experience and wisdom in form of attitude which transforms it into success.
like..you get a meaning for your life, you start inspiring yourself and others also, there is an increase in business and profit, you solve many problems by taking a positive decision.
In short, it reduces stress and improves quality, on the other side, there are many consequences of a negative attitude. Negative thinking people live a purposeless life neither they are satisfied with anything whether it is friendship, job, marriage or relationship. Moreover, the level of frustration, rudeness and stress increase continuously in their life. Many time they want to remove such things from their life but their negative attitude resists them from doing so.
A man was sentenced 15 years of imprisonment. After completing 15 years in jail, he was free to go. But he started feeling uncomfortable within few hours after leaving the jail because he had adapted the habit of living in jail. That's why he committed one more big crime again so that he can live in jail forever.
Sometimes we become so comfortable with our negativity that we don't change despite knowing that its good for us.
Many time people always find that thing that they are looking for that's why we should search positive instead of negative in others.
ANDREW CARNEGIE was the richest man in the USA and one of the largest steel manufacturer in the world having a net worth of 310 billion dollars. Once he was asked that how he deal with people. Andrew said that dealing with people is like searching for gold. We have to separate dust and mud while searching for gold. Similarly, while searching for positive thing in a person, first we have to avoid negative thing about that person.
ANDREW CARNEGIE message was clear that change focus and look for the positive.
I have procrastinated many things in life which I regret today also. Procrastination leads to a negative attitude which results into delay and regret.
When a person is small, he thinks that he will be happy when he will grow.
When he grow and become a boy, he thinks that he will be happy when he studies.
When his studies will get over, he thinks he will be happy when he will get a job.
When he gets the job, he thinks he will be happy when he will get married.
When he gets married, he thinks that he will be happy after having his own family.
When he makes his own family, he thinks that after retirement he will be always happy.
And when get retired from the job, he finds that time has gone and its too late now to be happy and enjoy life.
Some people procrastinate by saying that they are analyzing or getting ready for the future, but even after six months, they are still analyzing or getting ready.
If you want to develop a positive attitude then stop procrastination and make a habit of doing it now.
WINNING is like an event, but being a winner is a spirit.
Inculcate "YES YOU CAN" spirit in yourself by developing a positive attitude.

Unassuming Wolf Pack captain lets his play do the talking
Sportsmanship award winner Justin Lee small in size but big in talent

Quiet, small, gentlemanly, unassuming.
These are not necessarily the traits one would normally equate with the captain of a hockey team. But those are words that can accurately describe North Van Wolf Pack captain Justin Lee, who in his final season of junior hockey helped his team earn the second PJHL title in franchise history and will lead them into the provincial championship tournament this week in Campbell River.
Of course, there are other words that describe the 20-year-old North Vancouver native as well.
"Justin is just unbelievable," Wolf Pack general manager and assistant coach Matt Samson told the North Shore News earlier this season. "He's the kind of kid you want on the ice in every situation. He's just such an honest player. He works hard, he back checks, he's in the right spots, he's creative offensively. And I can't speak enough about his character off the ice. He comes from a great family. … He's great in the dressing room and he's just a phenomenal player to watch."
In his third year with the Wolf Pack, and first as captain, Lee finished second on the team with 58 points in 36 games and earned the league's sportsmanship award.
Hockey is a game that often favours larger players, but Lee has made his mark despite being listed as one of the smallest players on the team at 5-9, 155 pounds. He is usually one of the smallest players on the ice, but his play makes a big statement.
"I always like to keep my head on a swivel just to make sure I know where everyone is on the ice," he said. "That way I know when guys are going to be coming at me and when they're not. That kind of helps when you're smaller, because you've got to know if you're going to get hit or not. I like to think I'm a pretty good skater, so I can use my speed and all that, and moving the puck with my line mates."
It's Samson's belief that Lee has more than enough ability to star at higher levels than the Wolf Pack's junior B league, but he was likely overlooked due to his size.
Lee might agree, but he says he has no regrets about playing for his hometown team after a youth career that saw him play at the North Shore Winter Club, the West Vancouver Hockey Academy and the Burnaby Winter Club Academy.
"If I was a little bit bigger, maybe I would have been at that next level, but I'm happy with how things have worked out here," he said. "I couldn't have asked for anything better from the owners or the coaches and all that, all my teammates as well. … Being from North Van, playing for the Wolf Pack was a really attractive option for me. I live in North Van, I go to school in North Van and I play hockey in North Van. Everything is super local for me."
Lee attends Capilano University, and after this season will be looking to further his hockey career at the university level.
Before that, however, he and the rest of the Pack will be fighting for a provincial title at the Cyclone Taylor Cup running Thursday through Sunday in Campbell River. They'll have their hands full in their opening game Thursday night against the host Campbell River Storm, a game that will be played in front of a packed house immediately following the tournament's opening ceremony at Rod Brind'Amour Arena. On Friday they'll face the KIJHL champion Revelstoke Grizzlies before taking on the VIJHL champion Victoria Cougars on Saturday.
The Wolf Pack will need to find their legs quickly on the Island, as they haven't played a competitive game for three full weeks after sweeping the Langley Trappers in the PJHL championship series. The team, however, will be ready to go when the puck drops, said Lee,
"We're really rested compared to the other teams who just finished off their playoffs," he said. "We're going to be fresh, I think everyone is going to be excited to play again. Obviously we're hoping to win it all."

Idelber Avelar es un teórico literario y crítico cultural brasileño. Se hizo conocido entre la comunidad académica en el año 2000 por su libro Alegorías de la derrota y entre el público general por su blog, O Biscoito Fino e a Massa,

en el que debate sobre política contingente, cultura popular y literatura. En su obra aborda la representación literaria de las dictaduras latinoamericanas y la forma en que la cultura lidia con sus secuelas.

Vida

Avelar obtuvo su licenciatura en Literatura Luso-Brasileña en 1990 en la Universidad Federal de Minas Gerais, Brasil. En 1990 se trasladó a Estados Unidos, donde en 1996 obtuvo un doctorado de la Universidad de Duke en Estudios Hispanoamericanos, con su tesis sobre la literatura latinoamericana postdictatorial. Aún en el año 1996, Avelar aceptó oferta de trabajo de la Universidad de Illinois.

En 1999 le fue otorgado el premio Katherine Singer Kovacs que entrega la asociación MLA por Alegorías de la derrota, como libro destacado en el campo de la literatura y cultura latinoamericana.

En 2000, se trasladó a Tulane University, en Nueva Orleans. En 2004, con la publicación de The Letter of Violence: Essays on Narrative, Ethics, and Politics, Avelar fue promovido a Profesor Titular (Full Professor) en Tulane University.

En 2006, Avelar recibió el premio del primer concurso internacional de ensayos de la Cancillería brasileña (Itamaraty) sobre Machado de Assis, con el texto Ritmos do popular no erudito: política e música em Machado de Assis.

En 2009, recibió beca de la American Council of Learned Societies para una investigación sobre masculinidad que ha llevado a artículos sobre Gilberto Freyre, Jorge Luis Borges, Gustavo Ferreyra, Fernando Gabeira, Caio Fernando Abreu y João Gilberto Noll, entre otros. En 2010, Avelar representó América Latina en el 1˚ Encuentro Internacional de Escritores de Ásia, África y América Latina de Fundación Cultural de Incheon, en Corea del Sur. Entre 2009 y 2012, firmó una columna sobre política brasileña, estadounidense y latinoamericana en Revista Fórum.

En noviembre de 2014, se publicaron anónimamente denuncias por "acoso sexual" por parte de Idelber Avelar, acompañadas con copias de mensajes eróticos enviados y recibidos por él en el marco de comunicaciones privadas con dos mujeres. Esto desencadenó una condena virtual al que Avelar respondió en su propio blog. En la justicia, las dos involucradas posteriormente negaron haber sido acosadas y haber publicado los mensajes. Avelar ahora demanda judicialmente algunos de los responsables del movimiento virtual en su contra.

En 2014, Avelar publicó Crônicas do Estado de Exceção con la Editorial Azougue de Río de Janeiro, el libro Crônicas do Estado de Exceção, En 2015 publicó Transculturación en suspenso: Los orígenes de los cánones narrativos colombianos, por el Instituto Caro y Cuervo, de Bogotá.

En 2016 publicó Figuras de la violencia: ensayos sobre narrativa, política y música popular, por la Editorial Palinodia, de Chile. y Transculturación en suspenso: los orígenes de los cánones narrativos colombianos, por el Instituto Caro y Cuervo, de Bogotá.

De 2014 a 2018 Avelar publicó también una serie de artículos sobre el proceso político brasileño reciente en revistas como Luso-Brazilian Review, Transas (Buenos Aires), Lugar Comum (Río de Janeiro) y Journal of Latin American Cultural Studies (Londres).

Actualmente se desempeña como profesor titular en la Universidad de Tulane, con actuación centrada en literatura latinoamericana, teoría crítica y estudios culturales.

Obra

Alegorías de la derrota

En su libro más conocido, publicado en 1999, Avelar propone que la escritura de la experiencia de la dictadura se ve obstaculizada por la forma de rememorar propia del mercado. Esta tiende a reemplazar completamente lo viejo por lo nuevo sin ninguna huella que indique la relación entre ambos. A esta forma de memoria Avelar opone la forma alegórica en la que se mantiene el efecto del pasado sobre el presente, aunque sea de forma negativa, como aquello que el pasado tuvo que olvidar para constituirse como tal. En el caso de la dictadura, las torturas, las desapariciones y la violencia ejercida para contener las explosiones sociales del periodo. La escritura alegórica trae al presente el horror de la dictadura e incomoda a la narrativa conciliadora de las transiciones a la democracia.

Avelar conceptualiza en la figura del duelo los discursos sobre las dictaduras que derrocaron a los gobiernos de izquierda de los años sesenta y setenta en América Latina. Existe un trabajo de duelo que oculta la relación entre la dictadura y la democracia que la sucedió. En contra de esta narrativa conciliadora, las novelas de los escritores analizados en el libro desequilibran el discurso postdictatorial al afirmar valores afectivos irreductidubles al intercambio. Es decir, circunstancias que no pueden ser equiparadas a la lógica sustitutiva de la forma de memoria del mercado.

Figuras de la violencia

En 2004, Avelar publicó The Letter of Violence: Essays on Narrative, Ethics, and Politics, por Palgrave MacMillan, reuniendo ensayos que tratan la intersección entre las dimensiones retórica y política de la violencia.

Aumentada, la obra fue traducida al portugués (UFMG, 2011) y posteriormente al español (Palinodia, 2016) como Figuras de la violencia: Ensayos sobre narrativa, política y música popular.

La conclusión del libro trata del concepto de guerra de sin fin a partir de una lectura de las invasiones estadounidenses a Irak y Afganistán.

Crônicas do estado de exceção

En diciembre de 2014, Idelber Avelar publicó por la Editorial Azougue, que reúne textos de carácter político. Los textos son ampliaciones de artículos publicados antes en la prensa brasileña, en vehículos como Folha de São Paulo, Revista Fórum e el mismo blog de Avelar,O Biscoito Fino e a Massa.

Los 32 textos de Crônicas do Estado de Exceção están divididos en cuatro partes: EE. UU., Brasil, Palestina y Mundo.

La edición castellana de las Crônicas do Estado de Exceção está siendo preparada por la Editorial Palinodia.

Transculturación en suspenso

En 2016, Avelar publicó Transculturación en suspenso: los orígenes de los cánones narrativos colombianos, por el Instituto Caro y Cuervo, de Bogotá.

La obra es una lectura de los orígenes de la novelística en cuatro grandes regiones de Colombia: el Caribe, el centro cundinamarquense, incluyendo Bogotá, el Valle del Cauca y Antioquia. Avelar discute la singularidad de Colombia como único país sudamericano no unificado en el siglo XIX, hace un recorrido por las guerras civiles decimonónicas colombianas y discute las cuatro novelas iniciales en el canon de las cuatro grandes regiones.

La conclusión de Avelar subraya la considerable autonomía de las regiones colombianas en el siglo XIX, un caso único en la literatura latinoamericana.

Q: NgFor display last element I have array of objects
[0: {yplace: 11, xrow: 4}1: {yplace: 12, xrow: 4}2: {yplace: 13, xrow: 4} ]

  {{seat.xrow}} <input [(ngModel)]="seat.xrow" name="row" type="number" min="0" class="place form-control signup-row">
  {{seat.yplace}} <input [(ngModel)]="seat.yplace" name="place" type="number" min="0" class="place form-control signup-row">

And in html i have 3 inputs, all bind only last element from array?
but when i use {{seat.xrow}} and {{seat.yplace}} that display fine that i expected
How do two-way data binding with input tag. Each input has unique index from array not last element?
edit:
and i have that
  reservation: ReservationAdminDto = {
    seats: [],
    email: '',
    phoneNr: ''
 };

ReservationAdminDto.model.ts has a form:
export class ReservationAdminDto {
  email: string;
  phoneNr: string;
  seats: SeatDto[];
}

SeatDto.model.ts
export class SeatDto {

  xrow: number;
  yplace: number;

  constructor (
    xrow: number,
    yplace: number,
  ) {
    this.xrow = xrow;
    this.yplace = yplace;
  }
}

A: Your *ngFor loop is probably inside a form tag. Since the input elements in the loop have the same name, they display the last value in the array, as shown in this stackblitz.
To bind the correct item values, make sure that the input names are unique by appending the loop index to each name (see this stackblitz):

  <input [(ngModel)]="seat.xrow" [name]="'row'+i" type="number" min="0" class="place form-control signup-row">
  <input [(ngModel)]="seat.yplace" [name]="'place'+i" type="number" min="0" class="place form-control signup-row">

A: The issue is a tracking issue : [(ngModel)] creates new variables, and it can't bind to object properties properly. use a custom track by function to get a grip on it :

customTB(index, item) {
  return `${index}-${item.xrow}-${item.yplace}`
}
