Fariña: System overhaul will improve special-ed issues
By Sarah Darville
Schools Chancellor Carmen Fariña
PHOTO CREDIT: Stephanie Snyder
The coming school-system overhaul will improve special education services for students, Chancellor Carmen Fariña promised Monday night.
At a forum held by the New York Daily News and the faith-group coalition Metro-IAF, parents and educators presented Fariña with a number of harrowing stories. One parent said her signature had being forged on her child's Individualized Education Program, the document laying out requirements for special services. Others talked about waiting months for a necessary evaluation or for a student to get access to a special service provider.
Fariña, flanked by her deputy in charge of special education, Corinne Rello-Anselmi, listened and acknowledged that she couldn't fix the mistakes of the past. But the city's new borough support centers will soon make it easier for schools and parents to escalate concerns, she said. In addition, the superintendents whom she has given new power and staff will be held accountable for the needs of special-education students, and each of their offices will have a parent liaison who will be asked to keep a log of concerns.
"We're trying to make the system cleaner, clearer and more accountable," Fariña said. Strong superintendents, she said later, are "what it's all going to come down to."
"You're going to have a person to call," Fariña said.
That overhaul has already begun, with superintendents of the city's community school districts and groups of high schools getting more oversight power this year. The switch will fully flip this summer, as the school-support networks that have helped schools with things like instruction, budgeting, and special-education services are dismantled and their most of their staff members put into local support offices or placed under superintendents.
Fariña also faced tough questions from parents about the city's struggling schools. Wendy Peters, the night's first featured speaker, attended P.S. 305 in Bedford-Stuyvesant as a child, but declined to send her own child there in the late 1990s because of the school's poor reputation. Now, she volunteers there as a tutor, but has seen little progress. No third graders there passed the state reading or math exams last year, Peters noted. (Of the school's third through fifth graders, 14 percent met the state's proficiency bar in math last year, while 11 percent did in reading.)
"Isn't 16 years a reasonable amount of time for underperforming schools to receive the proper assistance they need or to be restructured and/or closed?" Peters asked.
The chancellor's response hit familiar themes. For one, the superintendent in Brooklyn's District 13 is working to offer teachers and principals extra support and training, Fariña said. Schools in the city's Renewal turnaround program (which P.S. 305 is not a part of) are getting even more help, aided by the Renewal-focused staff member reporting to each superintendent.
"I'm not making excuses for what's been decades of neglect, but I will say at many schools they didn't have the right tools and they didn't have the right supervision," Fariña said.
"There's no quick answer," Fariña said, responding to a question about when parents should expect larger-scale improvements at the city's Renewal schools. "I'm not telling you 16 years is not a long time to wait. Because it is, absolutely, without a doubt. However, I've been on the job a year and half, and you have to give me at least another year."
Soon, struggling elementary schools will get extra help with phonics instruction, and second graders will take the Gates-Macginitie Reading Test to better assess their skills, Fariña said. Meanwhile, superintendents are closely scrutinizing school leadership, and 10 principals have recently been moved to other jobs.
The chancellor will participate in a second, similar forum on May 28.

El Salvador Residency / Citizenship by Investment
In June 2021, the president of El Salvador revealed he would start preparing a bill that will enable El Salvador to grant permanent residence permits to those who would invest ฿3 in the country.
These BTC investments may take the form of real estate, business capitalization, and a number of still-undefined investment types to be defined by the government. The minimum amount is denominated in BTC rather than dollars. It is not clear yet whether or if those minimum investment amounts would change with the fluctuation of BTC's price.
We are currently learning more about these developments by actively talking to the El Salvador government in order to be able to start offering this option to Bitcoin Hodlers.
Receive Updates about Residency and Citizenship options in El Salvador
In June 2021, in El Salvador, a historic and pioneering vote took place at a global level. Even more historic was the fact that the most important part of the event did not take place in the national parliament, but in a Twitter "space". There, in the Club House clone created by Twitter, the president of the country, Nayib Bukele, gave many more details about the law to thousands of listeners compared to the points of the bill that the deputies were debating in the chamber. The Central American country had just become the first on the planet to legalize bitcoin as a legal currency. And what does that mean? It is still too early to tell, but this is what the bill says. He also hinted and later tweeted about a permanent residency by making a 3 BTC investment.
Permanent residency status in El Salvador can also lead to citizenship through naturalization, on a time-frame of 1-5 years. Those eligible include:
Persons who are nationals of Spain or Latin American countries, who have established a one-year residency;
Foreigners from anywhere who have established a five-year residence in the territory;
Foreigners who are married to Salvadoran spouses and have established a two-year residency; or
Persons who have rendered exceptional service to the nation. (Available only by legislative decree).
Salvadorian citizenship provides for a great deal of mobility; according to the Henley & Partners Passport Index, holders of Salvadorian passports are welcome without a visa in 134 destinations worldwide, including the Schengen Area, the UK, Hong Kong, South Korea, Japan, Singapore, the UAE, Brazil, and a host of other desirable countries.


With the selection of tea partier Rand Paul as Senate nominee in Kentucky, and his "my government is no government" views, the world will now be engaged in the 24/7 news cycle discussion on whether we want to be invited.
So, if we are invited as Canadians or Kenyans or Dutch or whatever nationality, the question for me is, what type of tea is being served (or id Koolaid … but that's another blog), and do we want it? The tea that Rand Paul and the Tea Party is serving is a re-brew of something I think Americans thought they had moved on from 50 years ago, and it has to do with Paul's repudiation of parts of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
In short, the Civil Rights Act required the integration of schools and other public facilities, and made employment discrimination illegal. The issue for Paul is part of the Act which states that All persons shall be entitled to the full and equal enjoyment of the goods, services, facilities, and privileges, advantages, and accommodations of any place of public accommodation, as defined in this section, without discrimination or segregation on the ground of race, color, religion, or national origin.
We don't need to be overburdened by regulation, but when we are dealing with something as basic as not banning people from places due to their race , or as important as assuring that an already catastrophic environmental disaster and its costs be taken care of, then government IS what represents our collective will and action, not corporations.
Dude, trust me, the tea is not very good. If those clowns come to power in the U.S. I may look for safe harbor.

Perhaps you can have too much diversity
Jul. 13, 2019 1:30 a.m.
At what point does diversity become chaos? On the news, new immigrants were being questioned about what they have experienced, and what they have found frustrating, as they try to assimilate into the Canadian fabric.
One fellow's response was the issue of diversity was also a source of anti-immigrant sentiment from white Canadians. He found it really did not help his own assimilation because of its divisional definition.
My own experience in meeting new immigrants and refugees is they are scared.
Not scared out of their boots, but scared of being rejected, scared of no one willing to hire them, scared of not being included in our society.
It's sad to say there are a lot of Canadians who intentionally go out of their way to reinforce that exclusivity.
Conspiracy theorists are a dime a dozen and usually quite vocal. I believe they are more than naysayers, but also purveyors of fear, distrust, and in some cases, hatred as well.
What they don't realize is they often tend to be the problem the immigrants are being blamed for.
What I perceived from that fellow being interviewed on the news is in some cases, we are so diverse in Canada, we no longer have an identity we can claim as our own.
From the tone of his remarks, it sounded as if he would like to be given the opportunity to assimilate as a Canadian, not as a black immigrant.
Giving the population the ability to voice personal opinions anonymously has created a hate depository such as the world has never before experienced.
So, while every country talks about controlling hate and bullying, etc., they also make it easier and cheaper for children to get their hands on the technology used to generate this hatred.
They get this freedom long before they ever learn social graces, with the unwritten rules and limitations. It makes me think of the quote, "Too soon old, too late smart."
The issue of diversity and open-mindedness is if you are too open-minded, you stand a very good chance of losing whatever you had up there to begin with.
Are we so intent on celebrating our diversity, it has become a wedge in our communities, never letting an immigrant or a refugee feel truly Canadian?
Many of us are sincerely curious about the different areas of the world people come from; not as a discriminatory gesture; rather, just as innocent curiosity.
But that curiosity can lead to a rise in fear for those being asked. Constantly being reminded, they feel as though they are not able to leave the status of being an immigrant or refugee behind them.
Is this a form of discrimination, or just plain thoughtlessness? Do we ever ask ourselves whether we have done something to throw fear into these folks?
Face it, these immigrants and refugees are just people like you and me, who made the journey they did out of desperation.
I also was an immigrant at one time. Even so, I also have some anxieties about open borders.
But I also know it is only because I have not taken the time to learn about newcomers. I have not invited them into my home or gone out of my way to welcome them to this beautiful country.
We have a kid's book called We'll Have a Friend for Lunch. It's a story about five hungry cats that wanted to eat a bird for lunch. Logic told them that if they waited until the eggs hatched, and the chicks grew, they could have so much more food.
As it turns out, watching the chicks grow and their parents care, made them realize they had become fond of the birds, and so they could no longer eat them.
Sometimes, it takes a child's story to make us see the truth.

Location: From Fort Smith heading north on I540, after crossing the Arkansas River look for hwy 59. Go South on hwy 59. After crossing the Arkansas River on 59 watch for the signs to the park.
Type: Single Track / Loop.
Description: This is one of those trails where you can really hammer on. Climbing is very limited and the course is hard packed and very little in the way of loose rock and such. There is nothing really technical out here other then then fact that it is very tight and twisty. If you are looking for a trail that has some great scenery and you just want an easy ride or maybe you want to just get out and blow the cobwebs out of the bike then this trail should do just fine. It stays with in the confines of the park so bail outs are plentiful. The park itself sets on the banks of the Arkansas River so expect to find some really great scenery. I personally like this trail just for the fact that you can go fast and fluid on it, just getting into the flow of the trail is very easy to do here.
Rating: This trail is for everyone, the whole family can enjoy this ride.
Lodging: Camping is available at Spring Hill Park, they have a really nice camping area there. However I am not sure on who runs this park I think its the Army Corps of Engineers, your best bet would be to contact the Barling or Fort Smith Chamber of Commerce for more information. The City of Fort Smith has lots of places to eat and sleep.

A Zoo Pop Up for my new Grand Nephew!
May 3, 2016 August 28, 2016 Kathleen Adams2 Comments on A Zoo Pop Up for my new Grand Nephew!
Our family is so lucky to have a new baby boy addition to our family. My niece just had her first child, John William after his grandpa!
I was asked a while ago from a fellow poster on the Elizabeth Craft Designs Facebook Family page to create a tutorial for how I make these little scene pop up cards. Shamefully, it was several months ago that I promised her I would do one. This however, really is the first one since I made that promise. I wanted to wait until I made a new one so I could photograph all the steps. Warning: This is a long blog entry. So if you're not interested in the "how to's" for this card you need not read on. For those that do want to know all the steps……well here goes. Grab a beverage, get comfy and read on.
I first took an 8.5″ x 11″ piece of white cardstock and scored on the 11″ side at 5.5″. That left me with a folded card that measured 5.5″ x 8.5″ I trimmed the folded card to 5.5″ x 5 7/8″. Hint: Save what you trimmed off. After choosing the papers I would use for the sky and the grass, I cut a piece of each paper 5.5″ x 5 7/8″. I then put each of these two papers with temporary adhesive onto the white cardstock as in the picture.
I then centered the die as also shown in the above picture on the fold line. This die is from the Elizabeth Craft die set called "Lots of Pops".
On the lower right hand corner of the above, right over the designer Karen Burniston's logo, you can see a diagram of all the pop out opportunities this little die creates. Run the sandwiched cardstock, paper and die through your die cutting machine.
At this point I only popped out the large center and the little center pop in front. Because I didn't know yet how many of the pops I would need. I like to leave them not popped out. The reason is if I don't need the two side pops, they look better left alone. As it turned out I only used the right side pop. I know this sounds confusing, but look at the diagram again on the package and you will see the little side pops I'm referring to. I knew I wanted to make a zoo theme because I made a bunch of receiving blankets and stuff with this cotton flannel fabric.
I found some adorable zoo animals in the Silhouette library that were print and cut. So to save time I chose those. Elizabeth Craft Designs has a lot of little adorable critter dies that I am starting to collect but didn't want to have to do all that cutting and putting together as I knew I would be assembling enough things already…..and I also needed to get this package in the mail before my grandnephew was ready for school!
Below is a picture of my assembled tree with the hanging money on a branch attached to the tree.
This is where things can go all wrong. In step 1 I gave you a hint to save the trimmed pieces from your card base. Now is where you'll want them. The above shows the white cardstock trimmed from the card base and some of the designer paper I chose for the grass. Your white cardstock strip should have the same score line as your base card because you trimmed it from your scored and folded card. You now can glue or use adhesive tape as I did (Elizabeth Craft Designs double sided adhesive) on one half of that white cardstock strip and fold the other half over. You now have a very sturdy strip of white cardstock that is the exact width of your card.. I then glued my green paper to this strip. The next thing I do, and believe me, it will save you irreversible errors if you do this. I audition all my pieces or elements to my scene before anything gets glued in place.
The above picture shows where I auditions elements. Even the tree was auditioned before I adhered it to the back of the scene. I found the tree was too tall with all the foliage. So I trimmed the bottom of the tree and didn't use the little top pop. (again refer to the sketch on the package). Do you see where I slid the strip I had you make. At this point, I have it through the front pop and leaning against the larger one it's cut from. Now you see that all those little pops can be as wide as you want them because the basic structure is all ready there for you. I keep an old ash tray that was my Dad's favorite on my coffee table with glass aquarium stones in it. They make great aids in keeping the elements I'm auditioning from falling over as I figure out where I want them. In this 1st audition, the giraffe is in the same row as the tiger and elephant. I decided in this step that I wanted him in the pop behind this layer. More about this later.
This above picture shows some other elements I cut. I cut two of a fence from a Memory Box die called "Estate Fence". I needed that fence to be sturdy. I glued one on top of the other.
I also cut two of the poles from the "Lots of Pops" die set in the same pale grey cardstock, that was a piece in my stash, as the fence. You also see I cut one banner from the Elizabeth Craft Designs "Banners" die set. I hand printed ZOO and used the little arrow die from the Elizabeth Craft Designs "Rectangle Pull Card" die set on the banner.
Once I liked where each of the animals would go I now needed to work on the last layer. Still nothing but the tree has been glued in place. The last, or furthest forward, layer would be a fence with the zoo banner.
The left photo shows how I lined up the pole with the rungs on the fence and glued it. Then put the second pole over this sandwiching the fence between them. I then made another strip of cardstock and paper but then ran it through the die cutter using the scalloped edge die in Elizabeth Craft Die set "Pull Card Edges". The third picture shows I also cut another strip of just one layer of cardstock and ran it through the die cutter with the same scallop edge to further strengthen this last layer because I found a couple of more things for my scene. I then trimmed the extra white off with my paper cutter.
Once I was happy with the fence layer I knew I could glue the other layers in place. The above picture shows just that. You can't see well but I cut the strip that I auditioned the tiger and elephant in half and put the two on either side of the last pop. The other half I glued the giraffe to and added some grass (also from The All Seasons Tree set). That strip was glued to the right pop behind the elephant.
I added a cloud to the back by computer generating the sentiment "Welcome little John W." then cutting it out with the larger of the cloud/tree foliage die in the "All Seasons Tree" die set. The picture on the right shows the fence put together. It needed something on the other end and I was just going to cut two more poles but then I saw the little girl zoo keeper in the Silhouette library and thought she had to be there. I also found a Zebra and added him to the left back. It needed something too.
The above was the 3rd and last audition. I leaned the fence layer against the little foremost to the front pop to see if I indeed did like the little zoo keeper and started to play with how I would add another sentiment. I computer generated "We've been waiting a long time to meet you" then cut it out with an oval die. I used a PanPastel blue to color the edges and added 3 more die cut clouds from The All Seasons Tree. The Brads (frog & plant) is from The Eyelet Outlet. I love that company. They make brads in soooo many shapes. Check them out.
The above three photos show I actually only have used three of the pop opportunities. In other little scene pop up cards I used every possible place to add elements to the scene.
This is just a little closer look at the little pond sentiment.
At this point your inside is finished but you need to create an outside card to put this scene into. I learned from the famous Karen Burniston that a fold glued into a fold NEVER works out well. Oh boy did I learn that the hard way. You spend all this time on your pop up scene and the card doesn't open and close just right. So what do you do. You make two pieces. One is the front of the card and the other is the back of the card.
The Front of my new Grand nephew's card.
Els Van de Burgt, the owner of Elizabeth Craft Designs, created cardstock out of photos she had taken. There are three sets: Wood, Metal, and Stone. I used one in the Metal series which was a picture of Colorado license plates. That is where my niece and 3 sisters live so of course I had to use it for this card front. I wanted as many of the license plates that said "Colorado" to show so that is why I put the other two elements (the gold from the same stack and the cute Zoo Patrol jeep in the lower left hand corner. The jeep is also a Silhouette file. I made a sentiment with my computer and used an oval die to cut it out. Then I tucked it behind the fender of the jeep with a little craft glue. The jeep is popped up with foam dots. The last step, (yay, I know your saying) is to adhere your front and back to the pop up. I used Elizabeth Craft Designs double sided adhesive (10mm) to do this step. Caution: Don't put any adhesive where the pops are. That would be disastrous. That's it! Well, I'm exhausted and I know you are too from all this reading. I thank you for hanging in there and really do hope you will give this a try. I'm thinking of making a slide show of some of the other pop up scene cards I made using these techniques.
GREAT card and FABULOUS step-by-step tutorial that was easy to follow and very entertaining. You had me giggling with some of your comments.
EEEEEEK — this is SOOOOO cute.

The Napa River/Napa Creek Flood Protection Project includes improvements to six miles of the Napa River from Highway 29 at the Butler Bridge/Southern Crossing to near Trancas Street, and Napa Creek from its outfall to the Napa River for about one mile upstream. Elements of the Napa Project include bank terracing, bridge replacements, bypass channels, culverts, floodwalls, and levees.
A number of Project components have been completed, such as the 600+ acres of restored wetlands in the South Wetlands Opportunity Area, the replacement of the Third Street, First Street and Maxwell Bridges, the construction of the new Soscol Avenue Bridge, the cleanup of contaminated properties in the Oil Company Road area, the east bank terracing, and the Hatt to First Floodwall and Promenade, including the renovation of Veterans Memorial Park. Remaining components that are currently under construction or yet to begin are listed below. As of 2014 the NCFCWCD is reanalyzing remaining project elements to more effectively compete for Federal funding and determine priorities moving forward.

Q: VBA macro date format I have a problem with date format in my VBA macro.
I am trying to create macro to analyze data log which I am getting from a robot which looks like this.
Counter_Red,"04/03/2019 12:54:19",3,1,43528537722.5347

At the beggining I need to split the data into separate columns before I can analyze them.
When I use excel tool for splitting text into columns it works fine and I get expected result in format day.month.year.
04.3.2019  12:54:19

I created macro to do the split for me.
 Selection.TextToColumns Destination:=Range("A1"), DataType:=xlDelimited, _
    TextQualifier:=xlDoubleQuote, ConsecutiveDelimiter:=False, Tab:=False, _
    Semicolon:=False, Comma:=True, Space:=False, Other:=False, FieldInfo _
    :=Array(Array(1, 1), Array(2, 4), Array(3, 1), Array(4, 1), Array(5, 1)),   _
    TrailingMinusNumbers:=True

But when I use my VBA macro to do it, it always changes day and month so the resulting format is month.day.year.
3.4.2019  12:54:19

Can anyone please advice me how to fix it so my macro will give me correct date  format day.month.year?

A: J, they are right (above). Personally, if it's small amounts of data, I would use the Split function to place in an Array, then modify and output from there. It is true that Worksheet Functions will always be faster, and consume less resources than using Arrays (especially dynamic Array's), but perhaps:
Option Explicit

Function MakeDates()

Dim cellData As String
Dim arr_data() As String
Dim intArr As Integer

cellData = ActiveCell.Value

arr_data = Split(cellData, ",")

For intArr = 0 To UBound(arr_data) - 1
    'getting rid of double-quotes
    arr_data(intArr) = Replace(arr_data(intArr), """", "")
    'formatting date if applicable
    If IsDate(arr_data(intArr)) Then: _
    arr_data(intArr) = Format(arr_data(intArr), "dd-m-yyyy")
    'placing data on Sheet
    ActiveCell.Offset(0, intArr).Value = arr_data(intArr)
Next

End Function

After Rahm's Destruction, Can Chicago Creative A Cooperative Economy?

When Rahm Emanuel announced last month that he would not seek a third term as mayor of Chicago, he broke no hearts among people opposed to neoliberal privatization and the power of finance capital. In Chicago under Emanuel, as the editors of the 2016 anthology Neoliberal Chicago write, "neoliberalism led officials to privatize everything from parking meters to schools, gut regulations and social services, and promote gentrification wherever possible."
To take just one lurid example, Emanuel's Chicago "privatized janitorial services for our schools," organizer Amara Enyia told me, only to end up with rodent-infested schools, literally "rats and mice running around in classrooms. Those schools had to be closed and cleaned. This is what happens when you privatize services."
The proliferation of private schools under a theory of market and corporate dominance, which Enyia doesn't see as valid, has been terrible for public education in Chicago, creating a school system where "whoever has the better marketing budget" rather than better academic outcomes determines education policy.
Enyia should know. A longtime community organizer and policy expert from the city's Austin neighborhood, she is again running for mayor of Chicago (she made a brief run in 2015) where she promises to not only facilitate cooperative economics citywide but also to begin the process of creating a public bank for the city "on day one" of her administration.
Enyia says a public bank will save on infrastructure, provide loans to small businesses and save the city millions – maybe billions over the long term – in interest rates and fees. It will also protect the city's revenue from toxic deals like interest rate swaps and derivatives – deals Rahm Emanuel seemed to love like a kid loves cake.
"I want Chicago to be the number one city in the country" for cooperative business models, says Enyia. "There's no reason why we shouldn't be. Traditional business models have reached a plateau in my view." Collective ownership, she argues, will make everyone feel invested in the community.
Enyia is not alone in her enthusiasm. In August, Chicago held a cooperative economies summit where "lots of different people doing lots of different things in silos" were able to come together and do "cross-sector cooperative work" developing plans to forge policies and cooperative cultures across the city, according to Mike Strode, exchange coordinator at Chicago's Kola Nut Collaborative.
The collaborative's mission is "to make social infrastructure more visible within our communities." Cooperativism is emergent in Chicago, Strode says. Chicagoans have already accomplished a lot in food and housing cooperation, and the summit's purpose was to get people thinking and working together on a cooperative economy as a whole.
Also in August, the Illinois Worker Co-operative Alliance, in partnership with the Business Enterprise Law Clinic at the John Marshall Law School, released "Cooperation Chicago," a report detailing "the challenges and opportunities of worker cooperatives in the Chicagoland region."
The report recommended that the city, and Cook County, ought to invest in and contract with cooperatives "through public contracting and procurement of goods and services." The report also calls for the State of Illinois to pass a law recognizing Limited Cooperative Associations to "better accommodate access to worker-ownership for low-moderate income entrepreneurs and immigrant communities in Illinois."
Such changes, along with creating a more robust legal definition for worker cooperatives in the state, would make government partnerships and assistance available to cooperative entities as it currently is to traditional businesses, says Strode.
Economic democratization through cooperatives is also a material antidote to the city's long-term effects of racism, patriarchy and capitalism. The "Cooperation Chicago" report notes that two-thirds of all worker-owners nationally are women. Since 2010, 60 percent of incoming worker-owners are people of color. Those statistics are reflected in Chicago, where over half of new worker-owners are also nonwhite.
No other business model can even come close to making that kind of claim, and cooperatives may be the only instance where entrepreneurialism in America has actually fulfilled the promise of diversity.
For Enyia, Chicagoans need to begin "to believe in public space" again. After years of work in public administration and community organizing, she concluded that the interests of privatization and those of public service are simply incompatible. Under Emanuel, a Democrat, more than 50 public schools closed along with half of the city's mental health clinics. It's hard to examine Chicago's much-lamented violence problem without first understanding the closure of social services, public spaces and the transfer of wealth from the public treasury to the private financial sector.
Enyia supports a public bank "because it strikes at the very heart of where that mass transfer is taking place." She believes that, combined with worker, housing and agricultural cooperatives, and community land trusts, Chicago could lead the nation in cooperative economics. "These should not just be niche ideas," she says. "To me they are the core of a new economy that is inclusive."
For now, activists in Chicago are following the examples of other cities. "The grass is always greener on the other side," Strode says, speaking about organizations like Solidarity Economy St. Louis and Cooperation Jackson, in the hope that his city realizes its potential.

Social Media - the Future of the WEB?
Social Media for your small business? Social Media is more than Facebook and Twitter. For a small company newsletter marketing, a blog, videos or reputation management, could be more successful channels for a successful marketing campaign.
A social media campaign needs to be planned in one with the WEB-site design and a comprehensive keyword analysis. One can not be seen in isolation. For example, a newsletter campaign only works if email addresses were collected through the WEB site. Or, Facebooks "Like" button needs to be integrated into the company WEB-site.

The Perils Of Tunnel Vision
By Zach Sharif on	 June 8, 2019 Magazine Opinion Politics
Disclaimer: The views expressed within this article are entirely the author's own and are not attributable to Wessex Scene as a whole.
It's difficult to see a clear path nowadays. Social media rips apart this already muddied path. It does this by showing you yourself. Too much. Twitter can be an echo chamber of your own views reverberated back to you, creating a bland wall of agreement. People group together, and a mutual interest becomes an exclusive one. How has this happened, and how can we open our eyes again?
In the good old days (worryingly sounding like a Brexiteer here), mainstream newspapers were the predominant source of news. These have so many flaws and complications – too many to get into right now. Yet one of the few good attributes it had was the ability to open up a conversation. You might be reading a column that you have chosen to read, one that you respect or agree with. But such is the nature of the newspaper, you would naturally look over to an opposing argument, which would widen your perspective. You'd have a deeper understanding of the issue at hand, building up a more tolerant outlook generally. Unfortunately, social media doesn't work like this. It is the most diverse medium and a labyrinth of all forms of opinion – objectively. Yet, in the user's hands this is anything but the case.
Twitter is the prime example. You choose who you follow, and these views are beamed to you on a daily basis. Twitter's algorithm will then find people similar to these and recommend them to you. Deeper into the rabbit-hole you go. It doesn't take long for you to be consumed daily by a whirlwind of your own thoughts. This can happen to anyone, of any political persuasion. It's not just your preferred information and worldview that you're bombarded by either, but your preferred misinformation. I must stress that this is a common problem amongst all people. Having said that, the place where this kind of tunnel vision is clearest is amongst far-right and far-left ideologies. The two political extremes are hotspots for the systematic exclusion of alternative opinion. And because often the opinions are so extreme, it's very obvious to point out that most of what someone consumes is a sh*theap of extremity. It also rids fake news of its irrelevancy. Even in the rare instance that a correction to false stories is published right away, this correction (the truth) will only be spread to people to whose opinion it appeals to. The phrase 'preaching to the converted' springs to mind.
It's not just Twitter either, look into the Facebook comments of any group and this becomes as clear as day. This is because Facebook groups collate the same kinds of people together, who naturally share similar opinions on issues discussed. It's why when some terrible site like The LAD Bible publishes a clickbait-inducing news story (which is often vastly exaggerated or entirely made up) the comments are so trashy and similar. Only those people with the strongest of opinions will take to commenting, but in groups like these, those strong opinions will all be of the same ilk. Hell, even Match of the Day has an awful comments section, because sadly there are so many sexist and horrible football fans. The LAD Bible in particular, because its very existence is predicated on "lad" culture features a torrent of abuse in these sections, particularly for stories about women or immigrants. Yet this is not even supposed to be a political page.
In any walk of life, following just the people you agree with is like having exactly the same group of friends all your life. It's dangerous and frankly, boring.

Numbers 3:1 ←
Now this is the history of the generations of Aaron and Moses in the day that Yahweh spoke with Moses in Mount Sinai.
These are the names of the sons of Aaron: Nadab the firstborn, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.
These are the names of the sons of Aaron, the priests who were anointed, whom he consecrated to minister in the priest's office.
Nadab and Abihu died before Yahweh when they offered strange fire before Yahweh in the wilderness of Sinai, and they had no children. Eleazar and Ithamar ministered in the priest's office in the presence of Aaron their father.
Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
"Bring the tribe of Levi near, and set them before Aaron the priest, that they may minister to him.
They shall keep his requirements, and the requirements of the whole congregation before the Tent of Meeting, to do the service of the tabernacle.
They shall keep all the furnishings of the Tent of Meeting, and the obligations of the children of Israel, to do the service of the tabernacle.
You shall give the Levites to Aaron and to his sons. They are wholly given to him on the behalf of the children of Israel.
Numbers 3:10 ←
You shall appoint Aaron and his sons, and they shall keep their priesthood, but the stranger who comes near shall be put to death."
"Behold, I have taken the Levites from among the children of Israel instead of all the firstborn who open the womb among the children of Israel; and the Levites shall be mine,
for all the firstborn are mine. On the day that I struck down all the firstborn in the land of Egypt I made holy to me all the firstborn in Israel, both man and animal. They shall be mine. I am Yahweh."
Yahweh spoke to Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, saying,
"Count the children of Levi by their fathers' houses, by their families. You shall count every male from a month old and upward."
Moses counted them according to Yahweh's word, as he was commanded.
These were the sons of Levi by their names: Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.
These are the names of the sons of Gershon by their families: Libni and Shimei.
The sons of Kohath by their families: Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel.
The sons of Merari by their families: Mahli and Mushi. These are the families of the Levites according to their fathers' houses.
Of Gershon was the family of the Libnites, and the family of the Shimeites. These are the families of the Gershonites.
Those who were counted of them, according to the number of all the males from a month old and upward, even those who were counted of them were seven thousand five hundred.
The families of the Gershonites shall encamp behind the tabernacle westward.
Eliasaph the son of Lael shall be the prince of the fathers' house of the Gershonites.
The duty of the sons of Gershon in the Tent of Meeting shall be the tabernacle, the tent, its covering, the screen for the door of the Tent of Meeting,
the hangings of the court, the screen for the door of the court which is by the tabernacle and around the altar, and its cords for all of its service.
Of Kohath was the family of the Amramites, the family of the Izharites, the family of the Hebronites, and the family of the Uzzielites. These are the families of the Kohathites.
According to the number of all the males from a month old and upward, there were eight thousand six hundred keeping the requirements of the sanctuary.
The families of the sons of Kohath shall encamp on the south side of the tabernacle.
The prince of the fathers' house of the families of the Kohathites shall be Elizaphan the son of Uzziel.
Their duty shall be the ark, the table, the lamp stand, the altars, the vessels of the sanctuary with which they minister, the screen, and all its service.
Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest shall be prince of the princes of the Levites, with the oversight of those who keep the requirements of the sanctuary.
Of Merari was the family of the Mahlites and the family of the Mushites. These are the families of Merari.
Those who were counted of them, according to the number of all the males from a month old and upward, were six thousand two hundred.
The prince of the fathers' house of the families of Merari was Zuriel the son of Abihail. They shall encamp on the north side of the tabernacle.
The appointed duty of the sons of Merari shall be the tabernacle's boards, its bars, its pillars, its sockets, all its instruments, all its service,
the pillars of the court around it, their sockets, their pins, and their cords.
Those who encamp before the tabernacle eastward, in front of the Tent of Meeting toward the sunrise, shall be Moses, with Aaron and his sons, keeping the requirements of the sanctuary for the duty of the children of Israel. The outsider who comes near shall be put to death.
All who were counted of the Levites, whom Moses and Aaron counted at the commandment of Yahweh, by their families, all the males from a month old and upward, were twenty-two thousand.
Yahweh said to Moses, "Count all the firstborn males of the children of Israel from a month old and upward, and take the number of their names.
You shall take the Levites for me—I am Yahweh—instead of all the firstborn among the children of Israel; and the livestock of the Levites instead of all the firstborn among the livestock of the children of Israel."
Moses counted, as Yahweh commanded him, all the firstborn among the children of Israel.
All the firstborn males according to the number of names from a month old and upward, of those who were counted of them, were twenty-two thousand two hundred seventy-three.
"Take the Levites instead of all the firstborn among the children of Israel, and the livestock of the Levites instead of their livestock; and the Levites shall be mine. I am Yahweh.
For the redemption of the two hundred seventy-three of the firstborn of the children of Israel who exceed the number of the Levites,
you shall take five shekels apiece for each one; according to the shekel of the sanctuary you shall take them (the shekel is twenty gerahs);
and you shall give the money, with which their remainder is redeemed, to Aaron and to his sons."
Moses took the redemption money from those who exceeded the number of those who were redeemed by the Levites;
from the firstborn of the children of Israel he took the money, one thousand three hundred sixty-five shekels, according to the shekel of the sanctuary;
and Moses gave the redemption money to Aaron and to his sons, according to Yahweh's word, as Yahweh commanded Moses.

'Tottenham top scorer 2nd' SON, rating 8.3 points 'first goal this season'
'Ace' Son Heung-min (Tottenham) smiled widely. The long-awaited 'click' 토토 ceremony unfolded.
Tottenham, led by coach Antonio Conte, won 4-0 in an away match in the English Premier League (EPL) in the 2022-2023 season against Crystal Palace held at Selhurst Park in London, England on the 5th (hereinafter Korean time). Tottenham (33 points) won in three games. They pursued 4th place Manchester United (35 points).
A change of atmosphere is desperately needed. Tottenham is ranked 5th with 9 wins, 3 draws and 5 losses (30 points) in the preceding 17 matches. In the two matches played after the World Cup break, they only recorded 1 draw and 1 loss. Most of all, it is a big swing in defense. Tottenham conceded first in 7 league games and 10 official games in a row. Also, for the first time in 35 years since 1988, he has conceded two runs in seven consecutive games in the regular league. In the opening 10 games of this season, 7 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss (23 points) was recorded, compared to flying. 토토
Son Heung-min's performance is desperately needed. Since Son Heung-min scored a hat-trick against Leicester City in September of last year, he has not been able to score in a league game. He has 3 goals and 2 assists in the league this season. Son Heung-min suffered an orbital fracture in a European Champions League (UCL) match against Marseille last November, so he wore a black face mask all the time. Son Heung-min showed off his fighting spirit by throwing off his mask during the match against Aston Villa just before.
Son Heung-min, who started the match that day, moved actively from the beginning of the game. Watching the movements of his teammates, he looked for an opportunity.
The decisive opportunity came in the 21st minute of the second half. He did not miss the gap between the open space behind the opponent. With great speed, he created a one-on-one situation with the opposing goalkeeper. However, his shot went straight to the Crystal Palace goalkeeper. left a regret
There was no giving up. Heung-Min Son helped Matt Doherty score two minutes later. When the opponent's defense was focused on himself, he slightly let the ball go toward Doherty. Doherty, who received a pass from Son Heung-min, scored his first goal this season.
Son Heung-min, who helped his teammate score, pierced the opponent's goal with a powerful mid-range shot in the 27th minute of the second half. It was cheers after 9 league games. Son Heung-min threw off his mask and smiled brightly. It was his first goal in the game as a starter. He fired a self-congratulatory cannon in his 200th league start. In particular, Son Heung-min completed his 97th league goal with a goal that day. With this, Son Heung-min was ranked second with Teddy Sheringham in the team's most goals.
After the game, WhoScored.com, which specializes in European football statistics, gave Son Heung-min an average score of 8.3. It is third overall after Kane (9.3 points) and Doherty (8.6 points).

Q: Speed up a query, simple inner join with one large table and one small table I have a table T1 with 60 rows and 5 columns: ID1, ID2, info1, info2, info3.
I have a table T2 with 1.2 million rows and another 5 columns: ID3, ID2, info4, info5, info6.
I want to get (ID1, ID2, info4, info5, info6) from all the rows where the ID2s match up. Currently my query looks like this:
SELECT T1.ID1, T2.ID2,
       T2.info4, T2.info5, T2.info6
  FROM T1, T2
 WHERE T1.ID2 = T2.ID2;

This takes about 15 seconds to run. My question is - should it take that long, and if not, how can I speed it up? I figure it shouldn't since T1 is so small.
I asked PostgreSQL to EXPLAIN the query, and it says that it hashes T2, then hash joins that hash with T1. It seems hashing T2 is what takes so long. Is there any way to write the query so it doesn't have to hash T2? Or, is there a way to have it cache the hash of T2 so it doesn't re-do it? The tables will only be updated every few days.
If it makes a difference, T1 is a temporary table created earlier in the session.

A: It should not take that long :)
Creating an index on T2( ID2 ) should improve the performance of your query:
CREATE INDEX idx_t2_id2 ON t2 (id2);

A: May be using JOIN increase speed of query:
SELECT T1.ID1, T2.ID2,
    T2.info4, T2.info5, T2.info6
FROM T1
JOIN T2 ON T2.ID2 = T1.ID2;

I don't know exactly but may be your query firstly join all row in both table, and after that apply WHERE conditions and it's problem.
And of course, as Peter Lang saw, you should create index.

A: First, a make a join.
SELECT T1.ID1, T2.ID2,
       T2.info4, T2.info5, T2.info6
  FROM T1
  JOIN T2 ON T1.ID2 = T2.ID2;

Then try creating and index on T2.d2.
If not, if possible, you can add ID1 column to T2. Update it accordingly every few days as you claim. Then it just a simple query on T2 with no joins.
SELECT T2.ID1, T2.ID2,
       T2.info4, T2.info5, T2.info6
  FROM T2
  WHERE T2.ID2 = A_VALUE;

Again, an index on T2.ID2 will be recommended.

Leila Berg was a pioneering writer and story-teller whose contributions to children's literature and progressive education still retain their humorous and anarchic attraction.
Leila wrote primarily for children, from early readers to adolescents. Her best-remembered books include The Little Pete Stories, The Little Car Has a Day Out, The Adventures of Chunky, and a multicultural collection of Folk Tales. She was also the inspired editor of a ground-breaking series of readers called Nippers, colour-coded for progress by ability rather than age, for which she wrote over 20 stories herself, and commissioned work by then-unknown writers, such as Trevor Griffiths, J L Carr, Beryl Gilroy, Denise Robertson and Jaqueline Wilson, among others!
For adults, she wrote about children growing and learning, and about children's rights and progressive schooling, most memorably in Risinghill: Death of a Comprehensive. She also wrote of her own childhood and adolescence in Flickerbook. Her last book, The God Stories, written to be shared aloud across the generations, was Leila's unique take on the ancient fables that later evolved into the Old Testament.
The most complete collection of Leila's work for children is housed at Seven Stories, The National Centre for Children's Books, in Newcastle, which also archives her remaining papers. Her work and associated papers for adults is archived at the School of Education of London University. All up she published about 70 books for various ages in a huge variety of sizes and styles. She always kept close control over illustrations, using artists such as George Him, Lisa Kopper, Richard Rose, and Peggy Fortnum. Leila also wrote the text for photographer John Walmsley's book, Neill and Summerhill on A S Neill's famous progressive school.

\section{Introduction} \label{secI1}

\subsection{}
Let $g$ be a function in $L^2(\R^d)$, and let $T$ and $S$ be two countable
sets in $\R^d$. The system of functions
\begin{equation}
\label{eqA1.1}
	\G(g,T,S):=\{ g(x-t) e^{2\pi i\dotprod{s}{x}} : t \in T, s \in S\}
\end{equation}
is called the \emph{Gabor system generated by the window
function $g$, the time shift set $T$ and the frequency shift set $S$}.
Gabor systems have been extensively studied in the context of
signal processing and time-frequency analysis, see e.g. \cite{Chr16}.

There is a long-standing problem
concerning the structure
of the Gabor systems \eqref{eqA1.1}
 that constitute an orthonormal basis in the space
$L^2(\R^d)$. It is generally expected that
orthonormal bases of the form \eqref{eqA1.1}
must have a certain rigid structure.
This problem has been studied by different
authors, see e.g.\  \cite{CCJ99}, \cite{Liu01}, \cite{LW03},
\cite{DL14}.

In particular, it was proved in \cite[Theorem 1.1]{LW03} that if
$\G(g, T, S)$ is an ortho\-normal basis in $L^2(\R)$
 where the function $g$ has compact support,
and if the frequency shift set $S$ is periodic,
then the time shift set $T$ must be periodic as well.
In the present paper we improve this
 result by establishing that the periodicity
of both
the time and the
 frequency shift sets
$T$ and $S$ follows without  any a priori
assumption on the structure of these sets.
We  will prove the following:

\begin{thm}
\label{thmA3}
Let $\G(g, T, S)$ be an orthonormal basis in $L^2(\R)$,
where $g \in L^2(\R)$ has compact support.
Then both $T$ and $S$ must be periodic sets, i.e.\ they have
the form
\begin{equation}
\label{eqA3.2}
T = a \Z + \{t_1, \dots, t_n\}, \quad
S = b \Z + \{s_1, \dots, s_m\}.
\end{equation}
\end{thm}

The result is not true in dimensions two and higher,
see e.g.\ \cite[Example 3.1]{LW03}.

\subsection{}
Recall that a set $\Lam \sbt \R^d$ is said to be
\emph{uniformly distributed} if there exists
a number $D(\Lam)$ satisfying
 \begin{equation}
\label{eqA5.1}
\frac{\#(\Lambda\cap (x + [0,r]^d))}{r^d} =  D(\Lam)  + o(1), \quad r \to +\infty
 \end{equation}
uniformly with respect to $x \in \R^d$.
In this case, $D(\Lam)$ is called the
\emph{uniform density} of   $\Lam$.

It is known, see e.g.\ \cite[Lemma 2.2]{LW03}, that
 if $\G(g, T, S)$ is an orthonormal basis in $L^2(\R^d)$
then both  $T$ and $S$
must  be
uniformly distributed sets, and moreover
their uniform densities are positive and finite
numbers satisfying the relation
\begin{equation}
\label{eqD1.4.9}
D(T) D(S) = 1.
\end{equation}

Our approach to the proof of \thmref{thmA3}
is based on the  following  result,
which will also be proved in this paper
and which may be of independent interest:

\begin{thm}
\label{thmD1.4.3}
For any orthonormal basis $\G(g, T, S)$ in $L^2(\R^d)$ we have
\begin{equation}
\label{eqD1.4.1}
\sum_{t \in T} |g(x-t)|^2 = D(T) \quad \text{a.e.}
\end{equation}
and
\begin{equation}
\label{eqD1.4.2}
\sum_{s \in S} |\ft{g}(\xi-s)|^2 = D(S) \quad \text{a.e.}
\end{equation}
\end{thm}

Here $\ft{g}$ is
 the Fourier transform of $g$
defined by   $\ft{g}(\xi) = \int g(x) \exp(-2 \pi i \dotprod{\xi}{x}) dx$.

The conclusions
\eqref{eqD1.4.1} and
\eqref{eqD1.4.2}
can be stated in terms of
  translational tilings,
i.e.\ the function
$|g|^2$ tiles $\R^d$ at a constant level $D(T)$
by translations
 with respect to the set $T$,
 while  $|\ft{g}|^2$  tiles at level $D(S)$ with respect to   $S$.
For an account on the theory of tiling by translates of a function
we refer the reader to \cite{KL21} and the references therein.

In dimension $d=1$, the conclusion
\eqref{eqD1.4.1}
was obtained in \cite[Theorem 3.2]{CCJ99}
in the special case where both  $T$ and $S$ are
arithmetic progressions.
In  \cite[Theorem 4.4]{Cas04} this result
was extended to the case where
$S$ is an arithmetic progression, but
$T$ is an arbitrary set in $\R$. \thmref{thmD1.4.3}
establishes that both
\eqref{eqD1.4.1} and
\eqref{eqD1.4.2} are valid in all
dimensions $d$ and without imposing any a priori
 assumptions on the structure of the time or the frequency shift sets
$T$ and $S$.

As an immediate consequence of \thmref{thmD1.4.3} we obtain:

\begin{corollary}
\label{corD1.7}
If $\G(g, T, S)$ is an orthonormal basis  in $L^2(\R^d)$
then both $g$ and $\ft{g}$ must belong to $L^\infty(\R^d)$,
 and moreover we have
\begin{equation}
\label{eqD1.3}
\|g\|_{L^\infty(\R^d)} \leq \sqrt{D(T)}, \qquad
\|\ft{g}\|_{L^\infty(\R^d)} \leq \sqrt{D(S)}.
\end{equation}
\end{corollary}

The proofs of Theorems
\ref{thmA3}  and  \ref{thmD1.4.3}
are given in Sections   \ref{sec:GONBT} and
 \ref{sec:GONBP} below.
In the last \secref{secR1} we give,
as another application of \thmref{thmD1.4.3}, a new
proof of a result obtained in \cite{DL14} on
 the structure of the Gabor ortho\-normal bases
$\G(g, T, S)$
with a nonnegative window function $g$.

\section{Gabor orthonormal bases and tiling}
\label{sec:GONBT}

In this section we prove \thmref{thmD1.4.3}.
We assume that  $g \in L^2(\R^d)$,  that
$T, S$ are two countable
sets in $\R^d$, and that the system $\G(g,T,S)$
is an orthonormal basis in $L^2(\R^d)$.
 We will show that conditions
\eqref{eqD1.4.1} and \eqref{eqD1.4.2} must be satisfied.

\begin{proof}[Proof of  \thmref{thmD1.4.3}]
Since the system \eqref{eqA1.1}
is an orthonormal basis in $L^2(\R^d)$
then, by Parseval's equality, for any $f \in L^2(\R^d)$ we   have
\begin{equation}
\label{eqD2.1}
\sum_{s \in S} \sum_{t \in T} \Big|
\int_{\R^d} f(x) \, \overline{g(x-t)} \, e^{-2 \pi i \dotprod{s}{x}} dx
\Big|^2 = \|f\|^2.
\end{equation}
Fix the function $f$ and for each $t \in T$ define the function
\begin{equation}
\label{eqD2.1.5}
h_t(x) := f(x) g(x-t)
\end{equation}
which is in $L^1(\R^d)$.
By applying \eqref{eqD2.1} to the function
$\overline{f(x)} \, e^{2 \pi i \dotprod{\xi}{x}}$ in place of
$f(x)$, we obtain
\begin{equation}
\label{eqD2.2}
\sum_{s \in S} \sum_{t \in T}
| \ft{h}_t (\xi-s) |^2 = \|f\|^2, \quad
\xi \in \R^d.
\end{equation}
In what follows we will assume that $f$ is not
the zero function.  Define
\begin{equation}
\label{eqD2.3}
H(\xi) :=  \|f\|^{-2} \sum_{t \in T}
| \ft{h}_t (\xi) |^2,
\end{equation}
then the condition \eqref{eqD2.2} can be
stated as
\begin{equation}
\label{eqD2.3.5}
\sum_{s \in S} H(\xi-s) = 1, \quad \xi \in \R^d.
\end{equation}
In other words, the function $H$ tiles $\R^d$
at a constant level $1$ by translations with respect to the set
$S$. We will now use the following known result:

\begin{thm}[{\cite{KL96}}]
\label{thmE1.1}
Let $H$ be a nonnegative measurable function on $\R^d$,
 and let $S$ be a countable set in $\R^d$.
If the tiling condition \eqref{eqD2.3.5} holds
then $S$ has a finite uniform density satisfying $D(S) = (\int H)^{-1}$.
\end{thm}

(Strictly speaking,
this was proved in
\cite[Section 2]{KL96} in dimension $d=1$,
under the extra assumption
that $H \in L^1(\R)$,
and for a weaker notion of
density (i.e.\ not the uniform density).
The full statement of \thmref{thmE1.1}
can be  established by appropriate adjustments to
the proof in \cite{KL96}.)

In the present case the frequency shift set $S$ is known to have
positive uniform density, that is, $D(S) > 0$.
Hence \thmref{thmE1.1} implies
that the function $H$ must be in $L^1(\R^d)$. Moreover,
using \eqref{eqD1.4.9} we conclude that
 $\int H =  D(T)$.

  On the other hand,
using
\eqref{eqD2.1.5}, \eqref{eqD2.3} and Plancherel's equality we obtain
\begin{align}
\|f\|^{2} \int_{\R^d}  H(\xi) d\xi &=
 \sum_{t \in T} \int_{\R^d} | \ft{h}_t (\xi) |^2 d\xi
= \sum_{t \in T}  \int_{\R^d} | h_t(x) |^2 dx\\
&= \int_{\R^d} |f(x)|^2 \sum_{t \in T}   | g(x-t) |^2 dx.
\end{align}
We thus arrive at the equality
\begin{equation}
\int_{\R^d} |f(x)|^2 \sum_{t \in T}   | g(x-t) |^2 \, dx
= D(T) \|f\|^{2}
\end{equation}
which holds for an arbitrary nonzero $f \in L^2(\R^d)$.
This implies that
\eqref{eqD1.4.1} must be true.

Next we use the fact that the Fourier transform maps
an orthonormal basis in $L^2(\R^d)$ onto
another orthonormal basis,  from which it follows that
the system
 $\G(\ft{g}, S, T)$ is also an ortho\-normal basis in $L^2(\R^d)$.
So we may apply the same considerations above   to the system
$\G(\ft{g},S,T)$ in place of $\G(g,T,S)$, which
implies that  \eqref{eqD1.4.2} must also be true
and completes
the proof of \thmref{thmD1.4.3}.
\end{proof}

\section{Gabor orthonormal bases and periodicity}
\label{sec:GONBP}

Next we prove \thmref{thmA3}, which states that
if the system $\G(g, T, S)$ is an ortho\-normal basis in $L^2(\R)$
and the function
$g$ has compact support, then
both $T$ and $S$ must be periodic sets.
This result is true only in dimension $d=1$ and
does not extend to higher dimensions,
see e.g.\ \cite[Example 3.1]{LW03}.

\begin{proof}[Proof of \thmref{thmA3}]
First we establish the  periodicity of the time shift
set $T$. Define the function $\varphi(x) := D(T)^{-1} |g(x)|^2$
which is in $L^1(\R)$.
Due to \thmref{thmD1.4.3} we know that
condition \eqref{eqD1.4.1} must hold, i.e.\ $\varphi$
 tiles  $\R$ at a constant level $1$
by translations with respect to the set $T$.
We now  invoke another result from \cite{KL96}:

\begin{thm}[{\cite{KL96}}]
\label{thmE2.1}
Let $\varphi$ be  a nonnegative, compactly supported
 function in $L^1(\R)$. If $\varphi$ tiles at level one by translations
with respect to some set $T \sbt \R$
then $T$ must be a disjoint
union of  finitely many arithmetic progressions,
namely
\begin{equation}
\label{eqE2.2}
T = \biguplus_{j=1}^{N}
(a_j \Z + b_j)
\end{equation}
where $a_j, b_j$ are real numbers and
$a_j>0$.
\end{thm}

In the present case the
function $g$ has compact support, and hence
the same is true for $\varphi$ and
\thmref{thmE2.1} applies. We conclude
that the time shift set $T$ is of the form \eqref{eqE2.2}.
On the other hand it is well-known that $T$ must be
a \emph{uniformly discrete} set, i.e.\ there is $\delta>0$
such that $|t' - t| \geq \delta$ for any two distinct
points $t, t' \in T$. (This follows from the
orthogonality of the two functions $g(x-t)e^{2 \pi i sx}$
and $g(x-t')e^{2 \pi i sx}$, where $s$ is any
element of the frequency shift set $S$.)
Hence using Kronecker's theorem it follows
that all the ratios $a_i / a_j$ must be
rational numbers. In turn this implies that $T$
is a periodic set with the structure
as in \eqref{eqA3.2} (see e.g.\ \cite[p.\ 670]{KL96}).

Next we establish the  periodicity of the frequency shift set $S$.
For this purpose we will use the condition
\eqref{eqD1.4.2} from \thmref{thmD1.4.3},
which can be stated by saying that the function
 $\psi(\xi) := D(S)^{-1} |\ft{g}(\xi)|^2$
tiles $\R$ at level $1$ by translations
with respect to  $S$.  We observe however that
\thmref{thmE2.1} does not apply to this tiling
since the Fourier transform $\ft{g}$ is not a
 compactly supported function, being  analytic
 (this can be seen as a version
of the classical uncertainty principle).
We also note that there do exist non\-periodic
tilings of $\R$
by translates of a nonnegative   $L^1(\R)$ function
of unbounded support, see \cite{KL16}.

 To address this issue we will use a different result obtained in
 \cite{IK13, KL16}. To state the result we
first recall that a set $S \sbt \R$ is said to have
\emph{finite local complexity} if $S$ can be
enumerated as a sequence $\{s_n\},$ $n\in \Z$, such that $s_n<s_{n+1}$ and the successive differences $s_{n+1} - s_n$ take only finitely many different values.
The following result establishes that translational tilings
of finite local complexity
must be periodic, even if the function which tiles does not have
 compact support:

\begin{thm}[{\cite{IK13}, \cite{KL16}}]
\label{thmKL16FLC}
Let $S \sbt \R$ have finite local complexity.
If a function $\psi \in L^1(\R)$ tiles
at level one by translations with respect to $S$, then $S$
must be a periodic set, namely, it has the form $S = b\Z + \{s_1, \dots, s_m\}$.
\end{thm}

It would therefore suffice to show that in our case the set
$S$ has finite local complexity.
It is easy to verify that  $S$ has  finite local complexity if and only if
$S$ has bounded gaps and the set of differences $S-S$ is
a discrete closed set in $\R$. Since we have
$D(S)>0$ then $S$ indeed has bounded gaps.
For any fixed $t \in T$, the orthogonality of the system
$\{ g(x-t) e^{2\pi i sx} :  s \in S\}$
implies that the set $(S - S) \setminus \{0\}$ is contained in
the zero set of the Fourier transform of the $L^1(\R)$
function $|g|^2$. But since $|g|^2$ is a compactly
supported function, its Fourier transform is the restriction to
$\R$ of a nonzero entire function and hence the set of its real zeros
is a discrete closed set in $\R$. This establishes that $S$ has
finite local complexity, and thus the periodicity of $S$
follows from \thmref{thmKL16FLC}.
\end{proof}

\section{Application to a conjecture of Liu and Wang}
\label{secR1}

There is an interesting
 conjecture due to Youming Liu and Yang Wang \cite{LW03}
which
concerns the structure
of the Gabor orthonormal bases $\G(g,T,S)$
such that the window
function $g$ has compact support.

To state the conjecture we first recall that
if $\Om \sbt \R^d$ is a set of positive and finite measure
and if $\Lam \sbt \R^d$ is a countable set, then
$(\Om,\Lam)$ is called a \emph{tiling pair}
if the family of sets $\Omega+\lam$ $(\lam \in \Lam)$
forms a partition of $\R^d$ up to measure zero;
and that
$(\Om,\Lam)$ is called a \emph{spectral pair}
if the  system of exponential functions
\begin{equation}
\label{eqR1.3}
E(\Lam) := \{e^{2\pi i \dotprod{\lam}{x}} : \lam \in \Lam\}
\end{equation}
forms an orthogonal basis in the space $L^2(\Om)$.

\begin{conj}[{\cite{LW03}}]
\label{conj_lw}
Let $\G(g, T, S)$ be an orthonormal basis in $L^2(\R^d)$
such that the function $g$ has compact support. Then
the following three conditions must hold:
\begin{enumerate-num}
\item \label{lwc:i}
$|g(x)| = (\mes  \Om)^{-1/2} \, \1_\Om (x)$
a.e.\ for some measurable set $\Om \sbt \R^d$;
\item \label{lwc:ii}
$(\Om,T)$ is a tiling pair;
\item \label{lwc:iii}
$(\Om,S)$ is a spectral pair.
\end{enumerate-num}
\end{conj}

It is easy to verify, see e.g.\ \cite[Lemma 3.1]{LW03}, that
any Gabor system   $\G(g, T, S)$ satisfying the
conditions  \ref{lwc:i}, \ref{lwc:ii} and \ref{lwc:iii} above
forms an orthonormal basis
in $L^2(\R^d)$. The
Liu-Wang conjecture asserts that
if $g$ has compact support, then
these sufficient
conditions are also necessary for the system
 $\G(g, T, S)$ to be an orthonormal basis.

\conjref{conj_lw} is known to hold
in several special cases.  In \cite{Liu01}
the conjecture was proved in dimension one
and in the case where $T=S=\Z$. A similar result
is true also in $\R^d$. In
\cite[Theorem 1.2]{LW03}
the conjecture was proved in
dimension one without
any assumption on the structure of the sets
$T$ and $S$ but assuming that
 the set $\Om = \{x : g(x) \neq 0\}$
 coincides a.e.\ with an interval in $\R$.
In \cite{DL14}
the conjecture was proved in the special case
where $g \in L^2(\R^d)$ is a nonnegative function
(in this special case, the conjecture is true
even if $g$ is not  assumed to have
compact support).

\thmref{thmD1.4.3} allows us to give a new
proof of the latter result, namely:

\begin{thm}[{\cite{DL14}}]
\label{thmD7.1}
Let $g$ be a nonnegative function in $L^2(\R^d)$. If
$\G(g, T, S)$ is an orthonormal basis,
then the conclusions \ref{lwc:i}, \ref{lwc:ii} and \ref{lwc:iii}
in \conjref{conj_lw} hold.
\end{thm}

\begin{proof}
Let $\Om = \{x : g(x) \neq 0\}$.
Since $g$ is a nonnegative function, the orthogonality of the system
$\{ g(x-t) e^{2\pi i \dotprod{s}{x}} :  t \in T\}$
where $s$ is any fixed
 element of $S$,
implies that the sets $\Omega+t$ $(t \in T)$
must be pairwise disjoint up to measure zero.
(This is the only place in the proof where the nonnegativity of $g$
is in fact used; the rest of the argument is valid for an arbitrary $g$.)
But the sets $\Omega+t$ are respectively the supports
of the  functions $|g(x-t)|^2$, $t \in T$, so
it follows from the tiling condition
\eqref{eqD1.4.1} that
$(\Om,T)$ is a tiling pair
and
that $|g(x)|^2 = D(T)$
a.e.\ on $\Om$.
In turn this implies that
$D(T) \mes(\Om) = \int |g(x)|^2 dx = 1$
and hence  \ref{lwc:i} and \ref{lwc:ii} are established.

The fact that
$(\Om,T)$ is a tiling pair
implies that for any fixed $t \in T$,
the system
$\{g(x-t) e^{2 \pi i \dotprod{s}{x}} : s \in S\}$
 is an orthonormal basis in the space $L^2(\Om+t)$.
But since the weight function
$g(x-t)$ has constant modulus a.e.\ on its support $\Om+t$,
this implies that
also the
unweighted system of exponentials  $E(S)$ must
 be an orthogonal  basis  in
 $L^2(\Om + t)$. This establishes \ref{lwc:iii}
and completes the proof.
\end{proof}

We conclude the paper by mentioning the references
\cite{GLW15}, \cite{CL18}, \cite{IM18}, \cite{LM19}, \cite{AAK20}
where other questions in the spirit of the Liu-Wang
conjecture are studied. Similar questions in
the finite group setting are considered in
\cite{IKLMP21}.

I use vinegar for cleaning and as an all natural laundry softener. I do use brand name household cleaners, but vinegar is such a cheap and effective all purpose cleaner that I use it all the time, too.
Aside from using vinegar in the bathroom, you can also use white vinegar to clean your office supplies (including your keyboard and mouse!), clean the furniture, the rugs and the carpet, leather, cloth, and wood, remove grease stains, clean stainless steel – you can clean virtually anything!
Using vinegar and orange peels you can make a cleaner that will be perfect for so many areas of your home! You will need orange peels, distilled white vinegar , a mason jar and a spray bottle . Fill your mason jar with orange peels and add vinegar .
Vinegar solution: Mix 1/4 cup of white vinegar with 1/4 cup of water. Ammonia solution: Mix one tablespoon of clear household ammonia with 1/2 cup of lukewarm water. Solvent solution: Same as for synthetic carpets (see above).
