The Ponale Trail is the best known and most popular in Garda Trentino: easy but at the same time spectacular as its winds sheer above the lake, a classic trek you can't afford to miss.
The line of the Old Ponale Road stands out against the mountainside and is clearly visible from the beaches in Riva and Torbole. The Ponale trail is an icon of Garda Trentino, much loved by visitors and locals alike who never tire of the spectacular views it offers at every bend.
The alpin trail Ponale reopens on April, 21st renewed and ready for your walks and rides: we're waiting for you!
The Ponale Road is famous not only for the unequalled panorama of the lake but also for the military installations you can see along the trail. When you come to the second and third tunnels you can see remains of the Tagliata del Ponale, imposing fortifications built by the Austro-Hungarians from 1860 onwards which consist of tunnels excavated into the rock and trenches which stretch from lake level to the outposts overlooking the current trail. Today the Tagliata complex is normally closed to the public for reasons of safety.
The Busatte - Tempesta Trail is one of the most well-known and popular hikes in the area, largely thanks to the spectacular metal ladders which make it possible to get past the steepest sections and the marvellous views all along the trail.
The trek leads up a steep mountainside sheer above the lake through dense Mediterranean vegetation.
Curious fact: during the Austro-Hungarian Empire, Tempesta actually marked the Italian border.
The chapel of Santa Barbara, standing out white against the rock of the mountain, was built during the 1920s when work was under way on the pipes carrying the water from Lake Ledro to the hydroelectric station in Riva del Garda and is dedicated to the patron saint of miners. It is one of the single most spectacular viewing points in Garda Trentino.
This trail focuses on some of the typical features of the Garda area, and all with a view of the lake. From Torbole, the trail runs past the glacial potholes and then heads up to the Castegneto chestnut wood, where you have a wonderful view of Torbole and the lake below. Watch out because the stretch leading up the chestnut wood is short but quite steep!
The sweet chestnut tree was widely grown in Trentino as elsewhere because of the major economic importance it had for mountain people who depended on it as a subsistence food. The fruit of this tree is highly nutritious and formed an important part of the local diet. Testimony to this are the numerous chestnut woods in Garda Trentino, including those in Drena, Pranzo, Tenno and Campi.
Today the "maroni" (larger and tastier than normal chestnuts) play a major part in the menu for festivals and speciality menus for the autumn season.
This biotope, meaning an area which is protected because of its unique natural and geological features, is the largest post-glacial landslide in the entire Alps: an imposing mass of rocky debris which gives the area a lunar appearance and a habitat for plants and animals which have adapted to this particularly arid environment.
During your visit be sure to examine the dinosaur tracks on a great boulder along the trail: they date back to over 100 million years ago! And if you are into botany, watch out for the natural bonsais you will find among the rocks: they are true "dwarf trees" which due to the harsh environmental conditions have short branches and underdeveloped trunks. These trees do not usually manage to grow more than a metre high, even though they are often over a hundred years old.
The name "Marocche" comes from local dialect: "maroc" means boulder, a big lump of rock.
Did you know? Local legend tells that this area was once the site of the city of Kas, whose inhabitants were famed for their immortality. But the Lord, tired of their dissolute ways, caused the surrounding mountains to crumble and bury the city beneath a giant landslide now called Marocche.
Monte Stivo dominates Garda Trentino, and from its summit you have one of the most spectacular views over Lake Garda and the surrounding valleys.
The trail soon takes you above the woods and onto the wide open pastures which cover the summit of Monte Stivo and are clearly visible from the Basso Sarca. You are likely to come across cows and horses grazing on the pastures.
Monte Stivo is an imposing presence in Basso Sarca, its bulk towering above the "Busa" (the flat lands between Riva del Garda, Arco and Torbole). Proverbs in local dialect bear witness to the importance of this mountain in the life of the community, with expressions like "When Stivo has its hat on, either it's going to rain or the sun's coming out soon" (Quando el Stif el g'ha el capel o che'l piove o che'l fa bel".) The "hat" is the crown of cloud which covers the peak of the mountain and is a sign of variable weather.
Up until 1918 Garda Trentino belonged to the Austro-Hungarian Empire which, well aware of the strategic position of the area, went about constructing a serious system of defences which centred on Monte Brione. Apart from bearing visible traces of that period, Monte Brione is also a biotope (or protected area) because of the high level of biodiversity of its typical Mediterranean vegetation.
Brione is home to 817 species of plant, 35% of the entire flora of Trentino! Many of these are rare or endangered species and some grow here alone, on the shores of Lake Garda. In particular, there is an extraordinary variety of orchids with 26 known species. This is the reason why the top of Monte Brione is recognised as a biotope or protected area.
A hike along the Colodri and Colt ridges, natural balconies overlooking the Sarca Valley. Please note this trail is only for sure-footed experienced hikers!
The Colodri and Colt peaks are marked by large crosses.
This trail tells the story of different episodes in Twentieth century history, winding through beautiful natural surroundings, the most northerly holly oak woodlands in Europe and many other species of vegetation. It leads you from the oolite quarries and the ruined houses of the miners who quarried the stone up to the trenches from the Great War.
Today the oolite quarries are climbing walls where you can see top athletes challenging their skills on very demanding routes. If you can spare the time, stop off for a while and watch their slow progress on the rock.
Monte Altissimo is one of the most popular destinations with hikers in Garda Trentino who are drawn by its wonderful lake views which change with every bend along the trail.
This trail is a section of the Peace Trail or Sentiero della Pace in Trentino, a long-distance trail which touches on points of major interest on what was the Front during the Great War. All the mountainside above Nago bears traces of the Austro-Hungarian defences, tunnels and barricades which recall the distant days of the First World War.
This trek is through the Monte Baldo Local Nature Reserve, a protected area notable for its exceptional biodiversity. Monte Baldo has been renowned since the 15th century for its extraordinary variety of plants and flowers and known as the "Garden of Europe".
Easy walk around Lake Tenno and as far as Canale, a medieval village belonging to the club of the Most Beautiful Villages of Italy.
This walks touches on two points of particular interest in Garda Trentino: Lake Tenno, one of the most pristine lakes in all of Italy, and the nearby medieval village of Canale di Tenno, where time seems to have stood still. This is a very easy trek without any serious elevation gain, a walk suited to everyone.
Curious fact: This lake is prone to dramatic changes in the water level to such an extent that the little island often turns into a peninsula in summer so that you can walk out to it on foot.
Lake Tenno is famed for the colour of its water which varies from turquoise to emerald green according to the season. It is safe to swim in the lake and it is a popular destination in summer for people who just want to relax on the rocky beaches.
The Tenno area is part of the nature reserve of the UNESCO Biosphere "Alpi Ledrensi e Judicaria", a prestigious award which identifies environments with a rich biodiversity and history which have been developed while maintain strong links between the area, tourism, farming and tradition.
Can you imagine massive Venetian galleys being hauled over the mountains? Well, in 1439, this is precisely what happened. Brescia, an ally of Venice, was under threat from the Milanese troops and intervention was needed in their defence. The Venetians sailed up the River Adige with 25 boats and 6 galleys which were dismantled and transported with the help of 2000 oxen to the port of Torbole, passing through the Santa Lucia valley. In 1440 the little fleet defeated the Milanese and liberated Riva del Garda.
There can be no doubt about the strategic importance of Garda Trentino for the Austro-Hungarian Empire given the number and scale of the fortifications above the shores of Lake Garda and the Segrom is a part of these. Barracks, trenches, tunnels and artillery positions bear witness to the complexity of this system and form a unique historic backdrop for a trek.
The first part of the hike follows the Sentiero della Pace or Peace Trail (signposted SAT 601), a long-distance trail which links up the most important places on the front lines during the Great War in Trentino. Here the trail largely overlaps with a military road built by the Austro-Hungarian army from 1880 onwards when work started to reinforce defences along the Italian border. The fortifications along the Segrom ridge date back to the same period and these are linked by trenches with the stronghold of Malga Zures, a considerable line of resistance in case of loss of the advanced position.
This area of the Alto Garda bears many traces of the First World War. Malga Zures, fortified by the Austro-Hungarians with a complex system of tunnels was a particularly important point on the Front and the target of a particularly violent assault by the Italian army in 1915. The position was held by the imperial troops until the end of the war, but the Italians took up position in the immediate vicinity at Doss Casina (which became the hub of the Italian front line), as well as Doss Remit and Dosso Alto.
During the early months of the war, a number of Italian Futurists who belonged to the Battaglione Volontari Ciclisti e Automobilisti (Voluntary Cyclist and Automobile Driver Battalion) were posted at Doss Casina: these included Filippo Tommaso Marinetti, Umberto Boccioni, Mario Sironi, Luigi Russolo, Antonio Sant'Elia and Antonio Bucci. For these artists and intellectuals, the experience on the Front was an unforgettable experience which they speak about in their private correspondence and diaries but also in their sound poetry and the "Manifesto of Futurism – Italian Pride".
From the car park of the Marocche Nature Reserve (which is on your left as you come up the SP 84 towards Drena), head down the main road . After a hundred metres you come to a dirt track with a signpost for Rio Sallagoni. Follow this track and in a few minutes it will take you to the entrance of the canyon.
You get past the first rocky outcrop by heading up to the left of the waterfall with the help of some stirrups, then begin the long traverse in the ravine where there are a few more difficult sections for younger kids. You then come to a more open area with dense vegetation and waterfalls. You can stay on the path to the left side of the ravine (3) or ford the stream and cross the waterfall on a Tibetan hanging bridge (4). In a few minutes along a series of steps you come to a passage between huge boulders (5) and shortly after, crossing a second Tibetan bridge (7) – which you can avoid if you stick to the right and take the trail (6) – you come to a little wooden bridge across the stream. This is the end of the bolted section and in a short time the trail leads to Drena Castle.
The ravine continues but for now it has no bolted chains (8).
From the Castle, head west towards the Sarca Valley and down the trail which will take you past the entrance to the canyon and back to the car park in about 20 minutes.
The top of Monte Nodice is scattered with trenches and defence posts in caves built during the First World War. There are even writings left on the cave walls by the soldiers!
The hike is all through natural surroundings: first it winds up through the steep hillside farmland around Tenno and Calvola with its typical drystone walls. It then plunges into the woods where the vegetation changes with the altitude. You have to stop off at the mountain hut Rifugio San Pietro which is the main focus of the hike and serves excellent food and rest.
The hike can be shortened by cutting out the steep climb from Tenno and leaving the car at the junction for Ranciom/Treni where you can park for free. This eliminates most of the uphill section and turns the hike into a relaxing walk in the woods.
Monte Misone is a solitary peak on the north-west end of Lake Garda. Perhaps it is less well-known than the other mountains around the lake but the panorama from its summit is a memory you will treasure forever.
The trail up Monte Misone starts out with a very steep stretch but don't worry, it soon levels out and you have a marvellous view of Lake Tenno, its vivid blue standing out against the mountains below.
Once you have been to the summit and got back to your starting point, it only takes a few minutes to get to the mountain hut Rifugio San Pietro. Apart from its panoramic terrace, the hut also offers traditional local dishes. Don't miss this chance to refuel after your hike with some delicious food.
When you get back down, take time to stop off at Canale di Tenno, voted one of the most Beautiful Villages of Italy. The medieval historic centre has remained intact and gives the impression of a place where time stands still.


Roger Lind, left, and Art Lind at their business, Lind Industrial Supply, in Hibbing.
And these days, business is good. A mining downturn that began in 2015 because of low prices for ore and steel has begun a reversal with the reopening of several mines. It's not clear just how many miners and others have returned to work, though Vice President Mike Pence, in a visit to Duluth in August, put the number at 2,000.
Whatever the precise figure, businesses and economists agree that the Iron Range – and the network of small businesses that serve the mines – is doing better.
According to the Iron Mining Association of Minnesota, a trade group that represents the mines and about 200 related businesses, the mines employ about 4,500 workers. Another 11,500 workers, according to the association, are employed indirectly – in the manufacturing, construction, engineering and other firms that serve the industry. An oft-cited 2012 study by the University of Minnesota-Duluth found that each mining job generates another 1.8 jobs in other sectors.
"It's all connected," Art Lind said.
The mines that are operational on the Iron Range stretch from Keewatin, where U.S. Steel has a taconite mine, to Babbitt, the site of Northshore Mining. The cities and towns along that 100-mile stretch – many of them just a few miles apart, developed along with the discovery of iron ore in the late 1800s – seem to blend together. For drivers on Highway 169, the towns emerge and then disappear in a seamless stretch of trees, their leaves just turning colors, and streams and lakes. Several mines that scaled back production or went idle a few years ago – including those near Keewatin, Mountain Iron, Eveleth and Babbitt – are up and running. United Taconite is building a $75 million plant near its Forbes site. And, of course, the much-maligned Essar Steel Project – a mine under construction near Nashwauk that fell into bankruptcy – holds the long-term promise of more jobs for the region.
All of that activity means more business for the small mining-related firms spread across the Iron Range: metal fabricators, equipment distributors, environmental agencies, engineering and architecture firms, tire companies, makers of heating and cooling systems.
Manufacturing has a smaller imprint on this region than it does in more agricultural parts of Minnesota, but much of what it does have is related to the natural resources of the region – especially paper production and mining. "(Manufacturing) is really like nothing that you find in other parts of the state," said Erik White, an economic analyst for the state Department of Employment and Economic Development. The sector includes companies that make everything from massive conveyor belts to radiators and air coolers to replacement parts for machines that crush ore to special tools used by miners.
A recent report published by DEED shows that manufacturing provides about 8,500 jobs in the agency's northeast region – about 5.9 percent of the employment base.
The company designs and builds an assortment of products that are needed in the mines: metal chutes, storage containers, conveyors, sump pumps. It's a "job shop" that takes special orders, Perry said, rarely making the same piece of equipment more than once. The company also sells some industrial products.
Like Lind Industrial Supply, Furin & Shea relies heavily on a healthy mining industry; as much as 75 percent of the company's business comes from its work with the mines, according to Perry.
"We'd like it to be more like 50-50, but we have not gotten it to that point, largely because of our location," he said. While the company also makes equipment for the pulp and paper industry and does some work for businesses outside of the Iron Range, the mines remains indispensable.
Perry said Furin & Shea employs about 25 people and has aspirations to hire another 10 – if it can find the workers. Recently, he visited community colleges in Hibbing and Brainerd in the hopes of recruiting newly trained welders. "(The local economy) is probably running along better than it has in a lot of years," he said. "We're very optimistic about how things are moving now." Perry attributes some of the turnaround to policies that reversed "steel dumping" – the selling of steel at artificially low prices – by other countries.
In Art Lind's office in the back of his business, a mounted deer head hangs on the wall near his desk. Thick binders with information about the mining industry and the equipment the company sells line a bookshelf. For a novice to the Range like me, the Linds recommended one of the books on the shelf – "Seven Iron Men," an account of the brothers who found iron ore on the Range.
Mining's legacy is all around them. The company's office and warehouse sit just a few blocks north of downtown Hibbing, where city hall and the Androy Hotel, marvelous buildings that hark back to mining's booming past, still stand. (The hotel is now an apartment complex for seniors). A few blocks north of Lind Industrial Supply, meanwhile, chipping sidewalks and street lamps are the only remnants of a neighborhood that was moved decades ago to make way for a growing open pit mine. When miners near the city explode rock formations with dynamite, the windows at the company shake.
Roger Lind grew up in Hibbing and graduated from high school in the 1980s. After a few years of college, he went to work for a company that makes cooling systems for the mines. Eventually, he got into sales for Charter Inc. (where his dad worked) and remained in Hibbing, which has a population of about 16,000, confident that he could make a living in the mine economy. He joined his dad at their distribution business in 2005.
A sign promoting mining in a window at Lind Industrial Supply.
He is in regular contact with the mines, making sure they have the equipment that they need. Slurry pumps, cyclones, magnetic separators – all of that equipment is crucial to the iron ore concentrating business. Sometimes, if the need is acute, Roger Lind will arrange for a local truck driver to haul a load of equipment that the Linds store in a warehouse on their property.
Despite the good times, however, the volatile nature of the regional economy is never far away.
Such fits-and-starts are nothing new, of course, and won't dampen what has been a solid stretch for small companies here.
The number of resorts in Minnesota has dropped by nearly half since 1985.

A friend of mine had a business like that, 95% with one customer. When he lost that customer he lost everything, business, house, cars, multiple properties. I guess these folks know the risks and for now things are working out for them, but the mining industry's push to explore sulfide mining will require us all to take a huge risk. How about we have another article about the small businesses that would be harmed by the mining industries risky proposal to do what no other sulfide operation in the world has ever done: Contain their toxic chemicals and keep them out of the ground water.

When there is one horse in the town, you ride it. There are many folks to blame for the lack of diversity in jobs up here on the Range. I believe the IRRRP has wasted countless millions on projects that had no lasting impact on region. Range DFL'ers, that got elected up here, but forgot how to fight for the Range once they went to St.Paul. The folks that decided (in a blue collar area) taking the trades out of public schools and closing down Vo-tech schools was a grand idea. All the people that looked down on labor jobs and pushed college for everyone. A NAFTA deal that had no USA veto power of third party agreements between Canada/Mexico that used NAFTA rules to flood our market with Chinese steel, aluminum and auto parts. Logging industry was beaten down by NAFTA also. The list is long.
You can make 75k-110k up here working in the mines, somehow that is a job not worthy of pursuing? In the 60's, 70's and 80's Hibbing and Virginia were thriving towns, now, not so much. The region is trying to fight back and I hope it does. There are great people up here and you would be shocked to know of the number of folks who got very wealthy up here from miming the past 60-70 years. I hope it happens again.

Thanks for the positive post Joe! The shops classes must be started again. They starting pay for a diesel mechanic in a mine is about 62K, not including benefits and s pension contribution. What is the entry level pay for a 4 year graduate of women's studies and philosophy going to make? Whatever Starbuck's baristas are getting?

KIU Trivia: August 12th in the Present and the Past
What's Happening Today?
International Youth Day. It is celebrated annually on 12 August to bring youth issues to the attention of the international community and to celebrate the potential of youth as active partners in the global society. The theme of International Youth Day 2021 is, "Transforming Food Systems: Youth Innovation for Human and Planetary Health", with the aim of highlighting that the success of such a global effort will not be achieved without the meaningful participation of young people.
World Elephant Day. World Elephant Day is an international annual event on August 12, dedicated to the preservation and protection of the world's elephants. Conceived in 2011 by Canadian filmmakers Patricia Sims and Michael Clark of Canazwest Pictures, and Sivaporn Dardarananda, Secretary-General of the Elephant Reintroduction Foundation in Thailand, it was officially founded, supported and launched by Patricia Sims and the Elephant Reintroduction Foundation on August 12, 2012.
What Happened Today?
1. In 1492, Christopher Columbus arrived in the Canary Islands on his first voyage to the New World. Here, he restocked provisions and made repairs and then departed from San Sebastián de La Gomera on 6 September, for what turned out to be a five-week voyage across the ocean. His next stop was the island now known as the Bahamas.
2. In 1964, South Africa was banned from the Olympic Games due to the country's racist policies. During the 1964 Tokyo Olympics, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) banned the South African team from participating in the Olympics in order to demonstrate the unified and international disapproval of South African apartheid.
3. In 2005, Raska Lukwiya, one of the top-ranking LRA rebel leaders, was killed by government forces. Lukwiya was the third highest-ranking leader of the Lord's Resistance Army rebel group and he served successively as Brigade General, Deputy Army Commander and Army Commander of the LRA, the last being the highest LRA rank after those held by Joseph Kony and Vincent Otti.
1. 1947 – Daniel Omara Atubo, former Minister of Lands, Housing and Urban Development from May 2006 until May 2011.

Algae as an Art Feedstock
he Huffington Post's Madeline Schwartzman reports on the growing trend of algae becoming an artist feedstock, in addition to it's many wondrous practical applications. The organism is now making its way into art installations around the world, including H.O.R.T.U.S. an installation by ecoLogicStudio exhibited at the Architectural Association in February 2012.
H.O.R.T.U.S. is a prototype for a new form of urban gardening. 325 bags of algae intermingled with bioluminescent bacteria, were hung from the ceiling of the AA Front Members Room, allowing visitors to interact physically, via breath, and virtually, via smart phones. Both the real and emergent virtual garden were nourished by human interaction, the former by releasing CO2 into the system and furthering the production of the oxygen that fed the bacteria, and the latter by creating local and global data streams.
September was a breakout month for algae in art. At the Maker Faire New York at the Queens Museum of Science, scientist turned artist Angelo Vermeulen and a team of collaborators exhibited Biomodd [NYC4], the latest version of a gangly laboratory-like installation that brings computers and organic matter, algae and people, into a close-knit system.
Algae Opera recently premiered at the London 2012 Design Festival at the V&A Museum, developed by a future-thinking collective made up of designers Michael Burton and Michiko Nitta, both Royal College of Art graduates who received an MA in Design Interactions. Burton grew up on a working farm and used that experience to speculate on the future of farming, including farming on the human body itself – speculating on the future of humans and our impending unavoidable, and hopefully mutually beneficial interactions with bacteria, algae and biological systems.

Here's my latest mix called Bright Light and Night Skies. It's a collection of sad songs I could find on my iPod. I wanted this mix to be all about lost love. Remembering, missing, waiting, reminiscing and forgetting. I tried making a pattern from the first song About a Girl, which is kind of telling a story and remembering someone. Vegas Skies goes into that feeling of waiting for someone, until the last song by Mayday Parade which summarizes the whole thing of longing the love you once had.

\section{Introduction}

Discovered in 1995, the top-quark is the heaviest elementary particle in the SM and decays almost exclusively to a $W$ boson and a bottom-quark \cite{topmass}. Within the SM, the FCNC processes are forbidden at tree-level due to the Glashow-Iliopoulos-Maiani mechanism and suppressed at higher orders because of the unitary of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix \cite{GIM}. On the other hand, there are several Beyond the Standard Model (BSM) scenarios with FCNC decays at tree-level with enhanced branching ratio predictions by several orders of magnitude \cite{Theory}. Therefore, any evidence of these processes would be an indication of new physics.

Experimental limits on the branching ratio of FCNC $t\to qZ$ were established by several experiments \cite{ALEPH,DELPHI,OPAL,L3,LEP,ZEUS,CDF,D0}. The most stringent limits before this analysis were set by the CMS Collaboration with $\mathcal{B}$($t\to uZ$) $<$ 2.4 $\times$ 10$^{-4}$ and $\mathcal{B}$($t\to cZ$) $<$ 4.5 $\times$ 10$^{-4}$ obtained at 95\% confidence level using data collected at $\sqrt{s}$ = 13 TeV \cite{CMS}.

The present analysis reports a search for the FCNC decay $t\to qZ$ in top-quark pair-production events with one top-quark decaying through the dominant SM mode (with a $W$ boson and a bottom-quark) and the other through the FCNC mode. Just leptonic decays from the $W$ and $Z$ bosons were considered. The final state of the signal process is then composed by three isolated charged leptons, at least two jets with exactly one being tagged as a jet containing $b$-hadrons, and missing transverse momentum from the neutrino.

\section{Event selection}

The analysis uses $pp$ collision data at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV collected in the years 2015 and 2016 corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 36.1 fb$^{-1}$ with the ATLAS detector at the LHC \cite{detector}. The modelling of the signal and background processes is studied through Monte-Carlo (MC) simulation samples. The main source of background events containing three prompt leptons are $t\bar{t}Z$, $tZ$ and diboson production. The estimate of the contribution from these backgrounds is obtained from the MC simulation. Events with two or fewer real leptons and non-prompt leptons originate an additional background. The contribution from such background is estimated by means of a semi-data-driven method using the MC samples corrected by data in the specific control regions.

The signal process produces a final state characterised by exactly three leptons with $|\eta|$ $<$ 2.5 and $p_{\rm T}$ $>$ 15 GeV. The $Z$ boson is reconstructed from the two leptons that have the same flavour, opposite charge and a reconstructed mass within 15 GeV of the $Z$ boson mass ($m_Z$) \cite{topmass}. In case of two $Z$ boson candidates, the one with the reconstructed mass closest to $m_Z$ is selected as the $Z$ boson candidate. Additionally, the events with $E^{\rm miss}_{\rm T}$ $>$ 20 GeV and at least two jets, where one must be $b$-tagged, are selected. All jets must have $p_{\rm T}$ $>$ 25 GeV and
$|\eta|$ $<$ 2.5.

The reconstruction of the top-quark candidates from the distinct decay particles is achieved using a $\chi^2$ minimisation method based on energy-momentum conservation. The method consists in minimising the following expression without constraints:
\begin{equation}
 \chi^2 = \frac{(m_{j_{a}l_{a}l_{b}}^{reco} - m_{t_{FCNC}})^2}{\sigma_{FCNC}^2} + \frac{(m_{j_{b}l_{c}\nu}^{reco} - m_{t_{SM}})^2}{\sigma_{SM}^2} + \frac{(m_{l_{c}\nu}^{reco} - m_{W})^2}{\sigma_{W}^2} \nonumber
\end{equation}
 where $m_{j_{a}l_{a}l_{b}}^{reco}$, $m_{j_{b}l_{c}\nu}^{reco}$ and $m_{l_{c}\nu}^{reco}$ are the reconstructed masses of the $qZ$, $bW$ and $l\nu$ systems, respectively. The $m_{t_{FCNC}}$, $m_{t_{SM}}$ and $m_{W}$ parameters are the central values of the masses of the reconstructed top-quarks and $W$ boson with the correspondent widths ($\sigma_{FCNC}$, $\sigma_{SM}$ and $\sigma_{W}$) obtained through simulated signal events. For each jet combination, $j_a$ corresponds to any jet while $j_b$ is assigned to the $b$-tagged jet. The transverse momentum of the neutrino from the $W$ boson decay is set to the value of $E^{\rm miss}_{\rm T}$. The minimisation of the $\chi^2$ equation provides the longitudinal component of the neutrino momentum ($p^{\nu}_{z}$). After taking into account all combinations, the one with the minimum $\chi^2$ is chosen.

 The signal region selection is complete with the requirements of $|m_{j_{a}l_{a}l_{b}}^{reco}$ - 172.5~GeV$|$ $<$ 40~GeV, $|m_{j_{b}l_{c}\nu}^{reco}$ - 172.5~GeV$|$ $<$ 40~GeV and $|m_{l_{c}\nu}^{reco}$ - 80.4~GeV$|$ $<$ 30~GeV.

\section{Signal and control regions}

The agreement between data and simulated samples of the expected background is investigated through the control regions distributions and their inclusion in the fit. With that, the rescalling of the background expectations to the best fit with observed data and the reduction of the background uncertainties are applied. Therefore, five distinct control regions were defined focusing on $t\bar{t}Z$, $WZ$, $ZZ$ processes and non-prompt leptons backgrounds and distinguishing from the signal region with the number of jets, $b$-tagged jets, leptons or the presence of a $Z$ boson candidate.

Kinematical distributions from the signal region and three of the control regions are represented in Figure~\ref{fig:kinematic}. For the signal region, the $\chi^2$ distribution demonstrates a lower value of this variable for the signal when compared with the background and the distinct contributions from the main backgrounds. The remaining distributions present a proper isolation of the dedicated backgrounds with a good agreement between data and MC simulation.

\section{Results}

 To extract the FCNC signal, a binned likelihood fit is performed to different variable distributions simultaneously in the signal and control regions.

 In the signal region, the $\chi^2$ variable from the kinematical reconstruction of the top-quark is used for the signal-background discrimination. Additional distributions from the control regions were added to the fit and allowed a tighter constraint of background normalisations and systematic uncertainties compared with a fit where just the signal region is used.
 A good agreement between data and expectation from the background-only hypothesis is observed and no evidence of a FCNC signal is found. The CL$_{s}$ method \cite{CLs,CLs2} assuming that only one FCNC mode contributes is used to obtain the upper limits on the correspondent branching ratios. The 95\% confidence level observed (expected) upper limits on the $t\to qZ$ branching ratio are $\mathcal{B}$($t\to uZ$) $<$ 1.7 $\times$ 10$^{-4}$ (2.4 $\times$ 10$^{-4}$) and $\mathcal{B}$($t\to cZ$) $<$ 2.4 $\times$ 10$^{-4}$ (3.2 $\times$ 10$^{-4}$) \cite{Results}. These limits constitute the most stringent limits to date being a factor of around two better than the ones obtained by the CMS Collaboration at the same centre-of-mass energy and integrated luminosity \cite{CMS}. The observed limits on branching ratio were also converted into a constraint on the values of effective field theory operators contributing to the FCNC decays of the top-quark \cite{TopFCNC}.

Why is there so much Canadian immigration in South East Asia?
2 months ago Joshua Hughes
Canada as we know it is one of the largest economies and one of the best countries according to living conditions. It also offers a variety of other perks that adds to its value, which is why several people are interested in getting Canadian immigration. Most of these people are from Asian countries especially the area of South Asia. Canadian immigration for Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, is preferred by the people.
Canada is a priority for South East Asians
The country has been a priority of many immigrants and will continue to be so. This is because of several reasons. Canada is one of those few countries where you don't have any confinement. You get all basic human rights, the immigrants are offered bonuses that even their own countries' people don't get. Through the immigration process if you spend enough time in Canada you can even become a Canadian national.
Getting the Canadian immigration
Canadian immigration is not that difficult to get but you need to follow certain points. You first need to register with the place where you want to live, then you have to give an address where you're going to live. You need to have a valid passport, Visa, and all required documents and you have to pass the test of IELTS.
Why is Canada an attractive spot for South East Asians?
As we discussed above Canada has one of the best living conditions in the world therefore immigrants prefer it. Here are some factors why it is preferred by South Asians:
South Asian countries usually don't have a high currency rate. Canada being a higher and stronger economy pays them. The pays are quite high as compared to what they get in their own countries. The converted rates from their currency to the Canadian currency proves to be a blessing for them and therefore they opt to stay in Canada and work and earn and send money home to help their families. This benefits the Canadian government too as they charge the taxes from immigrants.
Immigration enables people to have access to the Canadian passport. It is a very highly respected and appreciated passport throughout the world. So you get a certain benefit that being a Canadian passport holder you can travel to most of the countries of the world.
No matter if you are a student, entrepreneur, or any skill-based person, Canada will provide you a relief by giving you a permanent residence. This comes in very handy as most of the immigrants who go to Canada don't have any relatives or known people living there already. So when the people move there, they need to toil to get a place to live and fortunately Canada saves your struggle if you are a legal immigrant by providing you with a permanent residence.
Moreover, Canada also provides security, rights, and all basic things that you need therefore people have Canada as their preference on their list.

RECOLLECTIONS OF CHRISTMASES PAST PLATES
CHARLOTTE B. LEIGH-TAYLOR, Special to the News By CHARLOTTE B. LEIGH-TAYLOR, Special to the Sun-SentinelSUN-SENTINEL
When Donna Oberg was a teen-ager, her grandmother gave her a box filled with 28 old blue and white plates. Oberg lugged the box around with her from her teen years in Chicago throughout her adult years in and around Fort Lauderdale.
"I never reopened the box -- just hung on to it because it was something from my grandmother. Until one day in the early '70s," she says.
That's when her mother, looking for some Hummel figurines, went into The Viking Imports shop in Fort Lauderdale and saw a display of blue plates on the wall. She told one of the owners, Pat Owen, that her daughter had some old blue plates, and Owen invited her to bring them in.
"We took the box down and showed her what we had," Oberg recalls.
What she had was pure treasure. One of the 28 plates was the oldest in the collection of Bing & Grondahl's Christmas collection plates. Produced by the Danish company in 1895, the plate sold originally for 50 cents. Only 400 plates were made that year.
The plate, titled Behind the Frozen Window, had risen in value to $2,000, Owen told them. The other Bing & Grondahl plates also were worth considerably more than when they were issued, since each year the mold is broken after that year's issue is completed.
Oberg, who lives in Plantation, was asked if she'd like to sell the collection.
"No," she replied. "These were my grandmother's. I've carried them around this long so I would like to complete the set if you will help me."
Owen became acquainted with Danish Christmas plates in 1948 when she owned a gift shop in Ohio. Since then, she has done considerable research on the stories behind each plate. She published two books in 1961-'62 on Royal Copenhagen Christmas plates (first made in 1908, although the porcelain company was established in 1775) and on Bing & Grondahl plates.
Each year she writes a new page for each of the loose-leaf books so that collectors may have a picture of the current year's edition and a description of the scene depicted. Both sets of plates focus on Danish landmarks and Christmas scenes.
Since that meeting with Oberg, Owen has helped her fill the gaps in the original Bing & Grondahl collection, as well as helped her collect a complete set of Royal Copenhagen.
The plates, all blue and white, picture diverse subjects such as birds, animals, Christmas roses and stars, Wise Men, an old water mill, Christmas shoppers, castles and cathedrals, even boats. Each design includes the year of issue.
What's the appeal of these Christmas plates?
"The first plate from 1895, Behind the Frozen Window, shows the Copenhagen skyline as seen on a cold, clear night from the frosted windowpanes of the Frederiksborg Castle," Oberg says. "When I was a little girl living in Chicago, I would get up early on winter mornings, before the family was up, and sit by the frosted window and make designs on it. That was really my special time. Whenever I look at that plate, I remember how precious that time was for me.
"You don't collect just to put them on a wall. You collect because the scene has meaning for you. It reminds you of a time -- a place, an incident or a dream. They call catalogs 'dream books' -- well, Christmas plates are dreams. You hope someday you will get to see some of these places in Denmark.
"In my Royal Copenhagen collection, the 1979 plate is called Choosing the Christmas Tree and the 1980 Bringing Home the Christmas Tree shows a father with his two little children. My father and I used to do that.
"You didn't take photographs of little everyday things the way you do these days. So when I look at the plate, it brings back wonderful warm memories."
Not all Christmas plate collectors are so sentimental, of course. There are 6 million collectors in the United States, some of whom buy plates as investments. For example, Donna Oberg's original plate now is worth about $4,000.
The 1988 Royal Copenhagen Christmas plate shows two children looking past a gate to the snow-covered towers of Copenhagen; the Bing & Grondahl plate, In the King's Garden, is another snowy woodland scene with birds feeding at the base of a monument. Each sells for about $60.
"Collectors come from all walks of life," Owen says, "but not many people in the United States have a complete collection such as Donna Oberg."
The public can see a collection of Christmas plates at The Porcelain Collection, 1410 SE 17th St., Fort Lauderdale.

FIRST CHRISTMAS PLATES WERE GIFTS
Years ago in northern Europe, wealthy families would give each of their servants a crude wooden tray at Christmastime filled with fruit, cookies and candies. The servants' homes were sparsely furnished and, so, after eating the goodies, they would hang the platters on the wall, calling them their "Christmas plates."
When the servants visited each other's homes they took note of the hanging platters and compared them with their own. Soon, the wealthy families realized there was rivalry among the servants as to who had received the most beautiful tray, and they began giving more consideration to the platter itself. Eventually they were made of metal or wood or pottery, sometimes elaborately carved or decoratively painted.
The employers tried to outdo one another, sometimes giving more attention to the plate than to its contents. They started dating each platter so that it would be easy to see in which year it had been given.
Thus began the custom of making and collecting Christmas plates.

'Tis the Season: Film Awards and How They Affect Viewership
January 29, 2012 January 30, 2012 - by Sara Arnold - Leave a Comment
With Sundance Film Festival wrapping up this weekend, the next big event on the film scene is the Academy Awards. Both events, each representing different aspects of the film industry, award accolades that often make audiences sit up and take note. But what does winning the jury prize at Sundance or being nominated for best picture really do for a film? How do awards shape viewership and vice versa? And what is Sundance, anyway?

When I asked my roommate where Sundance Film Festival takes place, she responded with a cool, "Colorado."
Nope, try again.
"Ummm. New Hampshire?"
Way off. Sundance takes place every year in the great state of Utah. Debuting in 1978 in Salt Lake City, Sundance, then known as the Utah/US Film Festival, was the brainchild of Sterling Van Wagenen, John Earle and Cirina Hampton Catania, all members of the Utah Film Commission. The festival was aimed at luring filmmakers to Utah. Originally, the focus was on screening classic films, like Deliverance, A Streetcar Named Desire and Mean Streets. Panels of famous industry figures, which included actresses like Cicely Tyson, would watch and discuss the films after viewings. Besides screening classics, new works were shown and awarded prizes, but they mainly focused on retrospective discussion.
After the first festival, debt prompted a second. By 1980, the location moved from Salt Lake City to skiing haven Park City, Utah, in order to draw a larger audience. Robert Redford's Sundance Film Institute took over in 1985, renamed it Sundance Film Festival, and has been running it ever since. Although a popular film festival before, Robert Redford's takeover expanded award categories and pushed the festival further into the public eye–and the film industry's. Throughout the years, many alternative hits have screened there, including Sex, Lies, and Videotape (1989), Reservoir Dogs (1992), The Blair Witch Project (1999) and Little Miss Sunshine (2006).
Sundance has always been about getting artists' work out to the public, and they've embraced spreading movies to audiences all over the country. Starting in 2005, as part of its 25th anniversary celebration, the festival included the Sundance Institute Art House Project, which selected twelve art house theaters throughout the country to screen Sundance films. The Coolidge Corner Theater was chosen, and is presenting a selection of shorts January 30-February 2.
But what kind of audience are these shorts intended for? According to Dr. Deborah Jaramillo, a Boston University Assistant Professor of Film and Television, Sundance's audience is looking for a more sophisticated experience than what's available at Regal Fenway. "There are definitely people who want something more subtle and possibly more substantial in their films; less special effects, more character and writing." These people take notice when a film wins a prize at Sundance. But winning prizes isn't what Sundance is for, at least in the same way that the Academy Awards are. The point of Sundance, and most film festivals, is for artists to get their work exposed, and possibly get picked up for distribution. Last year, movies like Like Crazy; Martha, Marcy, May, Marlene; and My Idiot Brother were among 34 films picked up.
If Sundance is meant to illuminate well-crafted films, the Oscars are meant to reward those involved in making them. The Academy Awards are a much more mainstream event than Sundance, but they still have to power to introduce smaller movies to the masses. The box office numbers of Michel Hazanavicius' The Artist, one of the nominees for Best Picture this year, have been steadily creeping up. Opening on just four screens on November 27 and bringing in a little under $205,000, the movie was playing on over two-hundred screens the weekend of January 15, and grossed over $1,000,000. Obviously audiences take into account what the Academy thinks, and they should.
It's important to note that a lot of aggressive campaigning goes on in favor of certain films, actors or actresses, and that requires a lot of money. But audiences should by no means discount nominees as buying their way in. "To a certain extent we have to understand that these are the 'experts' in their field; these are the professionals. These are the folks who make the stuff, who know the stuff, so what they see as an accomplishment or what they see as art should be taken into account," says Jaramillo. These things aren't decided by the people—that's what the People's Choice Awards are for. Deciding nominees based purely off of box office revenue, essentially the public's opinion, doesn't work. "You can't say, 'We should give a nod to the audience, throw Hall Pass in there.' If we're truly going to believe that award shows have some degree of integrity in the voting process then that can't be the case," she adds.
There's a definite formula to choosing Academy Awards nominees; drama is always favored over comedy, and there's a long-running sentiment (not as true today) that playing a disabled person automatically guarantees a nod. But these conventions are changing with each show.

Jaramillo was pleasantly surprised with some of the nominations, including a nomination for Mexican actor Démian Bichir. "Everyone will know him form Weeds. He played Nancy's drug dealer boyfriend. I was very happy he made it because he wasn't nominated for a Golden Globe."
Beyond that, there were also two nominations for Bridesmaids, one for Best Original Screenplay, and another for Melissa McCarthy, for Actress in a Supporting Role. "I think it's a big coup actually that Bridesmaids was nominated for writing, that Melissa McCarthy was nominated, that was very cool," Jaramillo adds.
As award season stretches on, it'll be interesting to see where the public's interests are directed. 2012 will no doubt bring audiences some wonderful films, and some duds as well. Therein lies the beauty of the film industry: surprises abound.

Barca's next opponent in the Spanish Cup will be Elche, who advanced to the last 16 on Thursday with a 1-0 victory over Valladolid. The two teams have already met in the league this season, when Barca won 3-0 at Camp Nou.
Elche and Valladolid had played to a 0-0 draw in the first leg, but a lone goal from Adrian González in minute 6 of the return leg was enough to send Elche into the next round. The last time Elche reached this stage of the competition was ten years ago.
The first leg will be played at Camp Nou after the holiday hiatus on January 8th at 10.00 PM CET, the same hour of Barça's 8-1 victory over Huesca last Tuesday. If Barça eliminate Elche to make the quarter-finals they'll face either Atlético Madrid or Real Madrid, who collided in the Spanish Cup last season as well.

Claude Criquielion (11 January 1957 – 18 February 2015) was a Belgian professional road bicycle racer who raced between 1979 and 1990. In 1984, Criquielion became the world road race champion in Barcelona, Spain on a gruelling course. He had five top-ten finishes in the Tour de France.
Criquielion was well placed to win a medal in the 1988 world road race championship in Belgium. However, he crashed in sight of the line when another competitor, Steve Bauer of Canada, clashed with him. The third rider, Maurizio Fondriest, went on to win. Bauer was disqualified and Criquielion sued Bauer for assault, asking for $1.5 million in damages in a case that lasted more than three years before the judge ruled in Bauer's favor.
Criquielion was directeur sportif of the Lotto–Adecco team from 2000 to 2004. His son, Mathieu Criquielion, turned professional for the Landbouwkrediet-Colnago team in 2005; Claude Criquielion became the team's manager.
From 2006 until his death Criquielion was an alderman for the liberal MR in Lessines.
In the night of 15 to 16 February 2015, Criquielion suffered a cerebrovascular accident and he was hospitalized in critical condition.[1] Criquelion died at 9:00 AM on 18 February 2015 in a hospital in Aalst.[2][3]

HAKEN Release "Prosthetic" Video; New Album "Virus" Out on June 5th
By Prog Sphere on April 3, 2020
Progressive rockers Haken are excited to reveal their new studio album Virus, the follow-up to 2018's acclaimed album Vector, will be released on June 5, 2020.
Today also sees the launch of the album's first single and opening track "Prosthetic," with a video directed by Vicente Cordero. Watch and listen to this punchy opening salvo below.
The band comments: "'Prosthetic' was the first song we completed during the 'Virus' writing sessions and we always felt it would be the perfect opener for the album. It's a very guitar heavy track with its roots in '80s thrash riffing, but with the unconventional rhythmic twists and turns we often like to explore in Haken. We sadly never had a Jeff Hanneman and Robert Fripp collaboration, but this song at least draws on inspiration from them both!
"Lyrically the song is a bridge between our two albums 'Vector' and 'Virus.' The message was brilliantly brought to life by video director Vicente Cordero, who also beautifully captured the live energy of the band in a way that both enhances the song, and perfectly sets the scene for what's to come."
Since releasing Vector in October 2018, Haken have completed headline tours the world over, played sold-out shows across Europe and North America as support for Devin Townsend and picked up a Prog award for their efforts too! All the while, they have been quietly, secretly working on the follow-up album, entitled Virus.
Drummer Ray Hearne reveals, "Since releasing 'The Mountain' in 2013, one question has been asked of us time and time again, 'who is the Cockroach King?' This is something we were interested in exploring more deeply too, so we essentially did that through our music; elaborating and expanding upon the intervallic, harmonic, rhythmic and lyrical themes of that song. The end result is in an arc which spans across two albums: 'Vector' and 'Virus.'"
Once again, Adam "Nolly" Getgood has mixed what is perhaps the most eclectic Haken album to date, with the seven tracks revealing hints of influences from multiple genres, all intertwined with Haken's own recognisable sound. Guitarist Richard Henshall had this to say about the production, "Using Nolly again was a no-brainer, as we wanted the two albums to be sonically connected. But having just spent a day mixing with him in his studio, it's obvious that this album will be an evolution of the 'Vector' sound. These songs seem to allow a lot more freedom of creativity with the production, so we're excited to see where it leads."
Longtime Haken collaborators, BLACKLAKE, have designed the visuals and artwork and the album will be available as a Limited 2CD, Standard CD, Gatefold 2LP + CD & as Digital Album. Pre-order now here.
Virus Tracklisting:
1. Prosthetic
2. Invasion
3. Carousel
4. The Strain
5. Canary Yellow
6. Messiah Complex i: Ivory Tower
7. Messiah Complex ii: A Glutton for Punishment
8. Messiah Complex iii: Marigold
9. Messiah Complex iv: The Sect
10. Messiah Complex v: Ectobius Rex
11. Only Stars
Virus is the culmination of a musical thought experiment which started with the Vector writing sessions in 2017 and holds intriguing potential for the band's future, as vocalist Ross Jennings explains, "whilst 'Virus' can absolutely be enjoyed as a stand-alone work, it is thematically and conceptually linked with 'Vector,' so our intention is to perform both albums back to back for a special performance someday."

Unlike a dedicated beard trimmer, the Philips OneBlade Pro is a revolutionary hybrid grooming tool that does it all.
Its lightweight and durable construction makes it the perfect travel companion.
Get 90 minutes of power from a one-hour charge.
It's also great for small fade jobs because of the adjustable precision comb, which puts 14 different lengths just a small turn away.
In partnership with Amazon and Philips.
When it comes to how you present yourself, personal grooming is just as important as the clothes you wear. After all, the nicest and best-fitting clothing won't do a thing for you if you're not paying equal attention to your hair, beard, stubble, sideburns, and any number of other places men have hair. It's a multi-faceted issue that requires a multipurpose device.
Now, what would the perfect men's grooming tool look like? To be honest, it might actually look a lot like the Philips OneBlade Pro. I've had the opportunity to be testing it out over the past month, so let's take a look at everything it's capable of.
What Can You Do With The OneBlade Pro?
Personally, I'm not a big electric shaver guy – I much prefer the ritual of my safety razor and shave brush – but in a pinch it's nice to have a non-analog option. Actually, although I rarely use an electric shaver on my face, I do like to police the hair on the back of my neck that seems to grow in too fast after a fresh haircut. And the OneBlade Pro is the perfect tool to keep that in check.
If you are going to use the OneBlade Pro as a shaver, there are a few things you'll be excited to know. First, the head is flexible and follows the contour of your face, which makes for both an effective and comfortable shave.
Additionally, the OneBlade Pro's unique shaving technology integrates a fast moving cutter – 200 times per second – with dual protection system to give an efficient and comfortable shave on longer hairs. Because of that speed, you can shave with or against the grain without fear of painful snags.
And finally, yes, the OneBlade Pro can be used in wet or dry conditions.
By far, one of my favorite features of the OneBlade Pro is its trimming capability. I like to roll with a little stubble (even though my mother doesn't particularly care for it) and there's a very fine line between my beard being just the right length or a little too long. The snap-on attachment lets me quickly glide between 14 lengths for optimal permashadow maintenance.
Additionally, because of the number of length options and the ease with which you can change them, I find the OneBlade Pro to be a great tool to give myself a little fade at the edges of my hair when it starts to grow back in at about the one and a half week point after a haircut. And I'd be remiss if I didn't mention it as a tool for manscaping and to trim your eyebrows, the latter of which is actually a topic I'll be covering in more detail in a couple weeks.
Whether it's sideburns or the back of your neck, the OneBlade Pro comfortably and quickly cuts a very clean line. You're working with a dual-sided blade so you can shave in either direction and get great visibility to see every hair that you're cutting.
The OneBlade Pro boasts some significant upgrades to the classic OneBlade that are worth pointing out and worth the extra investment.
First and foremost, is the adjustable precision comb. Unlike the first OneBlade, which had only three length settings (1, 3, 5mm), the OneBlade Pro has 14 and can take you from 0.4-10mm with a quick turn of the dial.
With the first generation OneBlade, it took eight hours of charging for 45 minutes of power. Not ideal. However, that issue has been more than taken care of. With the OneBlade Pro, you'll get 90 minutes of power with just one hour to charge fully. Pretty impressive, honestly. And you've actually got an LED power indicator so you know exactly how much juice you're working with at all times.
The Philips OneBlade Pro retails for $69.95. Click here to purchase from Amazon.
This looks and sounds like an awesome shaver, I'll have to keep it in mind next time I pick one up! Thanks for this!
Great article and Happy Thanksgiving Brian!

Палінгенезія (від   - знову і  - становлення, народження) - теорія німецького філософа Артура Шопенгауера котра стверджує, що воля людини ніколи не вмирає, а проявляє себе знову в нових проявах, індивідах. Водночас Шопенгауер заперечує принцип  реінкарнації про переселення конкретної душі. Теорія палінгенезії була викладена у другому томі його книги « Світ як воля і уявлення » — зокрема, у розділі «Смерть та її ставлення до неруйнівності нашої істоти».

Палінгенезія розглядає просторові кордони між людьми метафізично значущими, тобто одна особистість не може існувати одночасно у двох або кількох місцях простору.

Сам термін палінгенезія вперше зустрічається в Новому Завіті - παλιγγενεσία - (  ;  ) і перекладається на українську мову як пакибуття, то як відродження. В інших перекладах цей термін звучить як Wiedergeburt та regeneratio . У перекладі на російську, звучить як пакибытие.

Загальна характеристика
У своєму творі Шопенгауер стверджує:

Шопенгауер заперечував можливість збереження після руйнування тіла індивідуального «Я» з усіма його спогадами. Руйнування мозку та свідомості що означає повне знищення особистості. З іншого боку, унікальна як така, воля кожної людини не схильна до знищення. Воля людини зберігається після розпаду тіла і згодом ця воля проявляється у новій інтелектуальній оболонці. Нова особистість постає зовсім відмінною від старої.

Шопенгауер відмовляється говорити про метемпсихоз, тобто «перехід цілої так званої душі в інше тіло», воліючи іменувати свою теорію «палінгенезією», під якою він розумів «розкладання і новоутворення індивіда, причому залишається лише його воля, яка, приймаючи образ нової істоти, Отримує новий інтелект».

Фактично в ідеї Шопенгауера про «незнищенність нашої істоти» можна знайти наступність з ідеями давньогрецького філософа Парменіда про відсутність небуття.

У відповідь на можливу критику палінгенезії Шопенгауер пише:

Сучасний стан

Погляди Шредінгера
Одним із мислителів, який заявив про зв'язок своїх поглядів з думками Шопенгауера, є австрійський фізик-теоретик, лауреат Нобелівської премії з фізики (1933) Ервін Шредінгер .  У той же час Шредінгер, на думку  , дотримувався більш радикальних поглядів , які Колак назвав відкритим індивідуалізмом .

Філософ Мераб Мамардашвілі в такий спосіб викладає погляди Шредінгера:

Сучасна психологія
У психології існує ряд близьких один одному теорій, які можуть доповнити теорію Артура Шопенгауера. До них частково відносяться ідеї системної сімейної психотерапії Вірджинії Сатир . Також відомий метод сімейних розстановок Берта Хеллінгера, заснований на припущенні, що частини особистості померлих (або не доступних для спілкування) членів сім'ї проявляються в поведінці живих членів сім'ї, або в моделях їх спілкування між собою. На подібних уявленнях також засновано трансактний аналіз Еріка Берна та Клода Штайнера. Ерік Берн вважав що у структурі дитині існують окремі компоненти, що зберігають моделі поведінки його батьків стосовно нього, і відтворювані їм у подібних соціальних обставин, наприклад під час спілкування зі своїми дітьми.

Hunting Island State Park Visitors Guide
Hunting Island State ParkList of Parks Jul 25, 2020
Where is Hunting Island State Park
Located on South Carolina's eastern coast, Hunting Island State Park is an isolated barrier island that is known for its natural environment. The environment at the state park is widely undeveloped earning it designation as a part of the ACE Basin estuarine reserve. The land hosts a variety of marine and coastal vegetation and wildlife. Visitors arriving at Hunting Island State Park can expect to find acres of pristine beach, dense coastal forests, and marshland. The state park's most notable feature is the 19th century lighthouse it holds. Hunting Island State Park lies between Charleston and Savannah, Georgia. Charleston, South Carolina sits 88 miles and a two-hour drive north of the park. Savannah sits 60 miles and an hour and fifteen-minute drive south of Hunting Island US State Park.
How Large is Hunting Island State Park
Hunting Island State Park covers over 5,000 acres. The park is the most visited state park site in South Carolina and is one of the most popular Sea Islands on the east coast. Over the years the park has been featured in several magazines and won various awards. Recently, Hunting Island State Park was voted to be one of the top 25 beaches in the United States by TripAdvisor. The state park's total beachfront territory totals over four miles, and the Hunting Island State Park trail system nearly totals ten miles. The park's longest hiking and biking trail is the Island Loop trail that extends and traverses several of the park's ecosystems.
Hunting Island State Park Weather
The weather at Hunting Island State Park remains rather warm and sunny for most of the year. However, in the summer months, the park can also experience hurricane activity and weather systems. Summer temperatures in the park average between 70 to 90 degrees Fahrenheit. In winter, temperatures in the park cool slightly and hover between 35- and 60-degrees Fahrenheit. The coldest temperatures of the year appear in Hunting Island State Park in January and February. The warmest temperatures arrive at the park in June, July, and August. On average, the park experiences around 75 days of precipitation a year. Rainfall totals in the park average around 45 inches per year.
When did Hunting Island Become a State Park
Hunting Island State Park first became a state park in 1935 when the South Carolina government and the Civilian Conservation Corps coordinated the creation of several park buildings and bridges. Over the years, the Hunting Island State Park beach has experienced heavy erosion on its southern edge due to heavy tides resulting from the Atlantic Ocean and Saint Helena Sound confluence. However, most of the island has remained unaffected and also undeveloped. The lighthouse at Hunting Island State Park has been recorded on the National Register of Historic Places and while not functional, features a rotating light that is turned on at night.
Things to do at Hunting Island State Park
