Legislation was certainly proposed recently for "Equal Parenting Time" (Texas House Bill 453), but it did not land on the governor's desk to be signed into law.
For now, our legislature presumes the "standard possession schedule" is in the best interest of the child (or children) and suggests that this particular possession schedule provides for the reasonable minimum possession for a parent subject to this schedule. You can easily find this schedule in chapter 153 of the Texas Family Code. This statute also states this schedule is subject to a rebuttable presumption, so you will want to always thoroughly discuss your particular situation with your attorney to see if there may be factors to deviate from this standard possession schedule.
So, what exactly is a standard possession schedule? You may have heard the terms "standard possession schedule," "standard possession order," "SPO," or "1st, 3rd, and 5th weekends" – well, all of these refer to the same thing- the standard possession order contained in chapter 153 of the Texas Family Code.
Generally, the standard possession schedule provides for the parent subject to the schedule (sometimes referred to as the "possessory conservator") to have the child (or children, as the case may be) on the first, third and fifth weekends (Friday through Sunday) of each month, and also on Thursdays from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. of each week during the regular school year. Summer and holiday possession schedules are also outlined in the Texas Family Code, and usually the parents, or conservators, of the child alternate various holidays, such as Thanksgiving or Christmas.
But, what if you think it would be in the best interest of your children to have a 50/50 possession schedule? Or another variation of the standard possession order?
This is where lawyering can become creative. The term "50/50" or "equal parenting" can have many different schedule variations. For example, it could mean alternating weeks so that each parent would have seven consecutive days ("week on/week off"), or it could be a schedule where each parent has a few days per week (what we commonly call a "2-2-3" or "2-2-5"). There are a lot of different schedules that can be proposed to customize what might work best in your particular situation. You will want to thoroughly discuss this with your attorney so that he or she can best present your wishes to the court. Ultimately, any possession schedule must be in the best interests of your child, as the "best interest of the child" is the guiding consideration when children are involved in family court litigation.

Disinfo: Ukraine was created by Vladimir Lenin
(In Ukraine) everyone forgets that (the founder of the Bolshevik Party, Vladimir) Lenin created Ukraine.
Pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative designed to denigrate the history of Ukraine, Ukrainian statehood and its independence. Ukraine is a sovereign and independent state with a democratically-elected president and parliament. Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity are respected by most of the free world, confirmed by the resolutions of the United Nations, but violated by Russia. The history of Ukraine dates back to the era of the Kyivan Rus' in the 9th-13th centuries. A fully independent Ukraine only emerged in the 20th century, after long periods of successive domination by Poland-Lithuania, Russia, and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR). Under Lenin's leadership at the beginning of the 20th century, Ukraine was occupied by the Bolsheviks and for decades was under communist control. When the Soviet Union began to unravel in 1990–91, the legislature of the Ukrainian S.S.R. declared sovereignty (July 16, 1990) and then outright independence (August 24, 1991). With the dissolution of the U.S.S.R. in December 1991, Ukraine gained full independence. The communist regime of 1917-1991, like the Nazi regime, in Ukraine was recognised as criminal and pursued a policy of state terror. This is recorded in the law on decommunisation, which the Verkhovna Rada adopted in 2015. Read similar the case claiming that Ukrainian statehood is an inheritance from soviet Ukraine.

Entry from September 27, 2013
Coachspeak
"Coachspeak" (also "coach speak") is the language of sports coaches. The language often contains hidden messages for the team's players and for other teams; rarely is it simply the straight truth. For example, a coach might talk about a player to purposely raise or lower his trade value.
"For lack of a better term, I call it Coachspeak" was written by Brooks Peterson in the Corpus Christi (TX) Times on September 5, 1977. "A Selective Guide to Coachspeak" by Tony Kornheiser was published in the New York (NY) Times on November 16. 1977, and this column was reprinted in other newspapers.
Wiktionary: coachspeak
coach + -speak
coachspeak (uncountable)
1. (informal) The jargon or pep talks given by sports coaches.
5 September 1977, Corpus Christi (TX) Times, "Coaches' fall ritual: Tell it like it isn't" by Brooks Peterson, pg. 12A, col. 3:
What is really fascinating about these exchanges is the language in which they are coached: For lack of a better term, I call it Coachspeak. It has some thing of an Alice-in-Wonderland quality to it; it is laden with subtlety, shot through with indirection.
20 November 1977, Boston (MA) Herald American, "...And then there's the one about the triple reverse, double swerve" by Tony Kornheiser (N. Y. Times News Service), pg. B2, col. 3:
Football coaches make themselves indispensable by speaking in tongues no one else understands. Coachspeak. It suffers in translation: ..
5 January 1985, Atlanta (GA) Journal-Constitution, "C'mon, Vince, tell your boosters to play it straight," pg. C1:
Give us no more CoachSpeak about not being able to control the boosters.
Please Don't Pick Us No. 1
Coaches have learned the hard way that being first in the preseason polls can be the unkindest cut of all
Curry Kirkpatrick
Most overused phrase in the dictionary of hackneyed coachspeak: No. 1 is nice, but we want to be there at the end rather than the beginning.
God's Coach
By Skip Bayless
New York, NY: Fireside Books
Pg. 244:
No coachspeak. He hid behind no cliches or generalities or ifs. If a player was fat and lazy, as Tony Hill had become, Hackett told reporters, hey, he's fat and lazy. Hackett dealt in reality.
Translating Classic College Football Coach Speak
By Amy Daughters (Featured Columnist) on March 4, 2013
If you've ever thought about ways to link college football with power politics, try considering the relationship between spin and coach speak.
Indeed, while the former allows politicians to verbally avoid tough questions by answering with evasive, issue-twisting and ultimately confusing dialogue the latter allows head football coaches the same type of defense mechanism against queries they can't or won't answer.

Neil Mitchell questions why top..
Neil Mitchell has criticised Victoria's "top money bureaucrat" for failing to answer questions on the blow out of the level crossing removal project.
In December the Auditor-General revealed the project had ballooned out by as much as 38 per cent.
In a Public Accounts and Estimates meeting yesterday, the Opposition's Tim Smith questioned Victoria's Head of Treasury and Finance David Martine about the project's budget.
Neil Mitchell said Mr Martine either didn't know, or wouldn't answer.

Collecting and analysing evidence of effective game use in education
Tag: effectiveness
The effectiveness of instructional games: a literature review and discussion.
A 2005 report from the US Naval Air Warfare Center Training Systems Division:
Author: Robert T. Hays.
Abstract: This report documents a review of 48 empirical research articles on the effectiveness of instructional games. It also includes summaries of 26 other review articles and 31 theoretical articles on instructional gaming. Based on this review the following 5 conclusions and 4 recommendations are provided. Conclusions: (1) The empirical research on the instructional effectiveness of games is fragmented, filled with ill defined terms, and plagued with methodological flaws. (2) Some games provide effective instruction for some tasks some of the time, but these results may not be generalizable to other games or instructional programs. (3) No evidence indicates that games are the preferred instructional method in all situations. (4) Instructional games are more effective if they are embedded in instructional programs that include debriefing and feedback. (5) Instructional support during play increases the effectiveness of instructional games. Recommendations: (1) The decision to use a game for instruction should be based on a detailed analysis of learning requirements and tradeoffs among alternate instructional approaches. (2) Program managers and procurement officials should insist that instructional game developers demonstrate how their game will support instructional objectives. (3) Games should be used as adjuncts and aids, not as stand-alone instruction. (4) Instructor-less approaches (e.g., web-based instruction) must include all "instructor functions."
My notes: Though this is from 2005, from the military as opposed to the education sector, and is specifically focused on instructional games, there is much of interest and contemporary relevance in this literature review. It's a long read, and written more plainly than comparable academic texts (though this aids the speed of reading). The author took a rigorous approach to weeding out candidate documents that may not be suitable for examination. Pages 37-41, "other issues in instructional gaming", summarise a collection of interesting issues including adding instructional support to a game, learning using an adventure game, evaluator interest (and bias), the instructional value of a game developed for another purpose, and the importance of debriefing.

Hootsuite Company's Sales Strategy and Marketing
Firm Introduction
Ethical Selling Challenges
Relationship with Clients
The following report analyses the sales strategy of Hootsuite, an international firm that offers a range of social media management services and markets primarily to other businesses (B2B). The main purpose of all products offered by Hootsuite is to help companies increase their recognition on social media ("We are more," 2018). The firm allows other businesses to manage their numerous social media accounts on various platforms including Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, Google+ and LinkedIn. The main functionality of the service includes message scheduling and posting, hashtag and mentions monitoring, shortening of links and media visibility analytics (Al-Qurishi, Al-Rakhami, AlRubaian, Alamri, & Al-Hougbany, 2015). These services are marketed towards individual entrepreneurs, small businesses and big corporations by presenting various free and paid options for usage.
Hootsuite was established in 2008 by Holmes who wanted to "create a better social media experience for businesses" ("We are more," 2018, para. 2). The firm's headquarters are located in Vancouver, Canada. Holmes is still the CEO of the company and one of its main speakers and teachers ("Leadership," 2018). The firm employs more than a 1000 workers and has offices in multiple countries. Currently, Hootsuite is one of the most used platforms for social media management, and it has more than 16 million clients worldwide ("Hootsuite secures US$50," 2018). Such organisations and businesses as Five Guys, Monster, Wiley, the WWF, Accor Hotels and the Rockefeller Foundation use Hootsuite for monitoring their media presence ("Customers," 2018). The firm's popularity makes it the strongest competitor in the industry of social media managing platforms, allowing it to surpass numerous rivalling companies both in traffic and financial gain ("Hootsuite secures US$50," 2018).
The reason for choosing Hootsuite for this analysis lies in the unusual position of the company in the industry of sales and marketing. Hootsuite offers intangible services and products to its customers in the form of an online platform and a mobile application. The primary target audience of the firm includes sales managers and social media marketers which means that the company operates in the same field as its typical customer. This connection between products and clients allows Hootsuite to choose a more informal approach to attracting clients which Hootsuite uses to promote its services with educational materials, training courses, and other useful information. The choice to examine Hootsuite's case can give one an opportunity to look at how a business that targets marketing departments of other companies manages its own sales process.
As Hootsuite is a service that allows other people to manage their social media accounts, its presence on most social platforms is not accidental. The company offers solutions for all businesses and non-profit organisations and does not want to focus on a particular niche such as large enterprises or local brick-and-mortar stores. However, it still appeals to a specific range of customers as it is mostly used by marketing departments and social media managers. Thus, most marketing strategies of the firm are directed at the sales and marketing managers.
On the other hand, its ideology shows that Hootsuite treats all businesses in the same way, ensuring its customers that virtually every company may benefit from using social media (Selling Power Editors, 2011). If a business consists of a single person, but this person is interested in managing his or her multiple accounts on social media, Hootsuite can offer this business a number of options. Similarly, large corporations can find that Hootsuite can provide them with tailored solutions that will accommodate their marketing department's extensive and complex structure. The focus on businesses strictly interested in internet sales is challenged by the firm as well as it believes that social media can become an asset to every company's marketing strategy. Nevertheless, Hootsuite offers solutions for every type of business, including highly specialised B2B firms and major retailers. Some specific services are targeted at healthcare organisations, financial services, higher education, and governments. By offering these services, Hootsuite further expands its reach and appeals to an even wider audience.
Moreover, the company often focuses not only on offering a product but adding a story or a collection of useful tips for every possible way of using social media. A blog led by Hootsuite writers and speakers has numerous articles about social media, B2C and B2B relations, small business growth, advice for entrepreneurs and more. The company often uses itself as an example of a business that interacts with customers and engages in active conversation with its primary stakeholders. This position of the firm on the market is especially interesting because it places Hootsuite's marketing department on the same level with its customers. Blog posts that share workers' personal and professional experiences are filled with relatable contact which attracts salespeople from other companies and allows them to emphasise with Hootsuite's employees. The knowledge presented in these blogs is also directly and indirectly linked to its products, sales people's work and the combination of social media effectiveness and one's selling skills.
Furthermore, Hootsuite also bases its strategy on the idea of accessibility. The firm offers a free trial for almost every payment plan, excluding only customizable options for large enterprises. Nevertheless, individual businesspersons and large companies can try to use a fitting type of service for free and decide whether they want to continue working with Hootsuite. This strategic action may be seen as a signifier of confidence or a sort of bait. On the one hand, Hootsuite shows that a free month of service will not negatively affect the firm's income. On the other hand, people have already been using service for free for a month may not think about switching to alternatives. Thus, this approach to product offering allows the company to appeal to multiple types of people at the same time.

The pricing strategy of Hootsuite highlights flexibility as its primary benefit. Companies can choose to change their pricing plan every month or year depending on the payment they have made with the purchase. Moreover, custom plans are available to larger businesses. Discounts which are popular in most companies are also present, as clients can pay less for a yearly plan (Jobber & Lancaster, 2015). "Short-term tactical reductions" are also a part of the firm's strategy with exclusive sales and benefits for returning and long-term customers (Jobber & Lancaster, 2015, p. 52). The means to increase customer retention include customer care, client engagement in the firm's events, personal discounts and merchandise for loyal and active customers and the ambassador program for those clients who want to promote the firm's services to their peers.
Based on the options described above, it is possible to assume that the firm's main approach is marketing-based, although it also values high-quality services and continuous innovation. The marketing efforts of the company are especially notable as it implements its advertisements into content and services. For instance, Hootsuite's blog functions as a place for promoting its products while attracting its target audience. The focus on marketing is apparent because of the company's developed systems for a call for action, mentions of the services' advantages and repeating messages to try the product. Almost every entry in the firm's official blog, for example, ends with a proposition to try out some of the Hootsuite's products (Cisnero, 2014). It does not mean that the firm offers its main services every time. Some articles also feature promotional messages for the academy, the firms' ambassador programme and virtual conferences. Hootsuite uses traditional types of marketing and invests in video adverts as well. Furthermore, the company employs its clients through the system of ambassadors mentioned above.
The product-based orientation is also visible in the firm's marketing efforts. Hootsuite strives to innovate its existing range of products through new technology and acquisition of new technology and companies. The firm also creates new products and incorporates new feature into existing services. For example, in the beginning, Hootsuite was able to offer only a limited number of options for customers to create and publish posts on social media. Currently, Hootsuite can integrate most popular social media platforms and also help its clients use a variety of third-party applications installed directly into Hootsuite's dashboard. The applications for Instagram can include image editing software, free licensed stock images, social media archive search programmes and others ("Hootsuite app directory," 2018). Thus, the focus on product improvement is also a part of the firm's selling strategy.
There are a number of possible ethical challenges that can exist for salespeople in all businesses. However, the process of maintaining B2B relationships in the industry of fully digital products creates more unique concerns. For instance, bribery is one of the fundamental issues in the selling business, according to Jobber and Lancaster (2015). Hootsuite's services can be purchased only through the firm's official website thus the act of giving inducements to clients seems hard to perform. Moreover, the company operates on an international level which further complicates one's ability to assess the scope of possible bribery adequately. The strategy of the company focuses on offering free trials for its customers which serves as a powerful enticement on its own.
Moreover, the legal issues of international businesses that may put some companies in a difficult position are not as outlined in this case. Hootsuite's services cover social media and do not provide any content for clients. Therefore, possible legal limitations for publishing unwanted content in countries that censor information online cannot be applied to Hootsuite's products. It appears hard to find leverage to encourage the company's workers to offer unethical payments to its customers. Furthermore, the firm is currently at the top of its industry segment thus reducing the possibility of desire to compete in such immoral ways. It is also crucial to mention that the company has strong ethical values which may serve as a foundation for ethical behaviour management.
Another ethical problem is deception – the act of presenting a customer with nonexistent or exaggerated features of the product and misleading him or her into purchasing something that will not meet the expectations (Jobber & Lancaster, 2015). This ethical issue is unlikely to exist in this example as the products' features are extremely transparent. Every service and product is described on the official website of the firm, and a customer cannot finish a purchase without getting acquainted with all available plans. Therefore, customers have the opportunity to decide whether the description of the product from a sales pitch corresponds to the official information on the website. Moreover, as every plan offers a free trial, the possibility to deceive customers or present them with missing features is virtually impossible. The focus on transparency of the business is emphasised with these features of the products which assures firm-client trust and openness.
The promotion of the firm's products is a process that may be subject to some unethical behaviour. For example, the ethical dilemma of "hard sales" may also be absent from this business as all sales happen in a digital space where a customer can always stop the interaction and leave the website without making a purchase. Although one may think that psychological pressure to buy or try the product may be present in the company's push to include a call for action in every blog post, the logic behind portraying such messages as aggressive is not confirmed. It is expected of salespersons to be persistent in their efforts to sell the product (Denny, 2013). Moreover, the firm's calls to action are transparent and based on arguments usually included in the article or post.

For instance, a blog post by Fontein (2018) examines the process of creating Facebook advertisements and advises on best ways to save money while building effective marketing campaigns. The article which is full of tips and suggestions about marketing ends with a sales proposition to try out AdEspresso – a product by Hootsuite targeted at people who create and manage advertising campaigns. This type of product placement is expected to appear on the firm's official blog and cannot be considered unethical. The company uses similar practices on other forms of media including social media platforms and advertising.
Another possible ethical challenge is the attitude towards cooperating with non-profit organisations. As Hootsuite offers services for raising awareness and media exposure, its products may be interesting for non-profit organisations. Hootsuite creates a positive corporate image by providing nonprofits with a discount for all services and free education for these establishments to become better online marketers. Moreover, the firm has a strong policy of encouraging young talent through the programme of HootGiving ("HootGiving: A nonprofit," 2018). Here, the ethical challenge of working with companies which may not have necessary financial resources to operate but have a beneficial purpose can help the company to elevate itself and allow it to maintain a positive image (Tolba, Seoudi, Meshriki, & AbdelShahid, 2015). Thus, the issue of selling to non-profit organisations without aggressive pitches is avoided.
As the target audience and salespeople of Hootsuite come from one pool of professionals, it is easy for the firm to build rapport with potential buyers. The company knows to which audience it needs to appeal and that allows it to create content that attracts their attention and generates meaningful conversations. The company's official blog, online and offline conferences, meetings and ambassador recruitments have a purpose of engaging potential buyers and keeping retention rates high. The focus on social media sales apparent from Hootsuite's articles is the focus of the company's strategy. Hootsuite's CEO, for example, argues that every company can benefit from gaining recognition on social media (Selling Power Editors, 2011). Hootsuite also manages to reveal significant trends to their customers and all interested individuals, establishing itself as an authoritative figure in the selling industry (Lindsey-Mullikin & Borin, 2017).
Hootsuite treats its customers as professionals. The firm also focuses on the notion of simplicity and time preservation, guaranteeing that its customers will save time and energy by using their services. However, the company does not state that its users will not have to do anything after purchasing a plan or using some free options. As a contrast, Hootsuite argues that by giving more time to its clients, it can also provide them with an opportunity to create better and more high-quality content. Thus, the firm engages its customers to participate in social media training and appeals to businesses marketing departments with various learning initiatives. The continuity of these processes emphasises commitment and perseverance highly regarded among salespersons (Jobber & Lancaster, 2015). The firm's projects to educate marketing persons have a long-term goal of attracting and retaining more skilled customers.
One of them is the Hootsuite University – an academic course teaching public relations managers the primary functions of social media (Kinsky, Freberg, Kim, Kushin, & Ward, 2016). By offering such training opportunities, Hootsuite engages new and already established customers and opens a path for more potential client niches – future professionals and students who may recommend Hootsuite in their workplace or use it to start and promote their business. The company establishes long-term goals with this programme and strengthens its presence on the market. Apart from the course, Hootsuite also offers a range of templates, tables, worksheets, and tests for its blog readers and customers. Hootsuite highlights the importance of social media presence encouraging companies to get involved thus promoting its products. For these purposes, Hootsuite uses research, case studies, personal observations, and client feedback (Cisnero, 2014).
The ambassador initiative also serves as a way to attract new clients as well as build relationships with already existing customers (Wiriahardja, 2014). This programme is targeted towards clients who are ready to promote the Hootsuite brand to other potential buyers. It is a beneficial initiative because it allows the firm to create third-party influencers with an already established network of contacts in the field. Thus, Hootsuite's brand image achieves higher recognition and gains a sense of trustworthiness through the appreciation of professionals. New connections based on this programme bring clients with more potential channels of influence. This chain of contacts allows Hootsuite to expand its reach gradually. Another benefit of this initiative is that it is relatively inexpensive. Ambassadors do not receive any financial compensation for company's promotion. However, they receive "special Hootsuite swag" and get access to the Hootsuite University (Wiriahardja, 2014, para. 6).
Hootsuite actively participates in the lives of its clients. The firm offers them an education in its University to increase retention and make customers more invested in social media marketing. The ambassador programme mentioned above is also a way to connect with clients and make them a part of the company's path to innovation and development. Hootsuite makes sure to emphasise the place of its clients in the life of the company and create a community of engaged and active social media marketers. The firm hosts regular online conferences for its clients and also invites them to Hootups – "casual, free events organised by Hootsuite users around the world" (Eventbrite, n.d., para. 1). During these real-life events, Hootsuite's clients have an opportunity to meet each other, share experiences, and develop a network of contacts. This approach to connecting client not only with the company but also with each other builds strong relationships and increases the level of mutual trust between the company and clients.
All initiatives mentioned above are directed at customers who use the company's products as well as some new users. Hootsuite focuses on personal relations and informal interactions ensuring that clients do not treat its services as a product that has limited value in their businesses. The company adds a sense of purpose to the community and creates a multifaceted brand with close relationships. One of the main sales practices that are beneficial to the business is the focus on education and information sharing. It allows Hootsuite to attract clients with professional interests and in-depth knowledge as well as novices who may not be sure in their marketing skills. This way the company can appeal to a broader audience and expand in reach. There are no significant bad sales practices in the company's strategy. It has a stable balance between a positive company image, customer interaction, emphasised professionalism and strong determination to prove the value of its products.
Hootsuite values its customers highly and pays a significant amount of attention to their needs and interests. The firm builds rapport with such concepts as professionalism, accessibility and transparency. The strategy of Hootsuite is marketing-based which means that the company is active in social media as well as other suitable platforms for marketing. The Hootsuite Academy, the ambassador programme and the company's blog can be viewed as ways to interact with customers and build strong professional relationships with them. By engaging its customers in promotion initiatives and educating them, Hootsuite creates new potential clients and demonstrates a solid strategy for client satisfaction.

I am just getting started with all this awesome stuff. I have decided that I want to go with smart pixels because that seems like where the technology is going overall. It also gives me the most flexability with my display long term. One of my first questions is what are the benefits of the two different voltages that are offered by LOR, 5v vs 12v?
Short answer for nodes (as opposed to ribbons) - The the biggest advantage of 12 volts is you can make longer runs of pixels without power injection. The biggest advantage of 5 volts is less overall power consumption.
Longer answer - The general rule of thumb is that with 5 volt pixels you can use about 50 pixels without needing power injection, and with 12 volt pixels you can use about 100 pixels without power injection. That does vary somewhat depending on the pixels.
As for power consumption, each pixel at full white draws about 60mA (for either 5 volts or 12 volts). Because wattage is volts times amps, the total power consumption with 12 volt pixels is about 2.5 times higher. That means the number of power supplies will be higher for any given prop. For example, prior to 2018, my 12 x 50 pixel tree plus 360 pixel star ran on a single 5 volt 70 amp (350 watt) power supply. In 2018 I rebuilt the tree to make it 24 x 100 pixels and moved to 12 volts. Of course wth four times as many pixels in the tree, I expected to need more power supplies. However when I measured the consumption for one string, I realized I would need more than I expected. I determined that I would need six 350 watt supplies for the tree plus one more for the star (it's still 5 volts). Ultimately I set the pixels to run at only 50% and was able to get away with only three 12 volt supplies for the tree - at least for 2018.
That information above is super useful. Thank you!!
As Jim said, 12volts works better. I do have a 5volt controller in-use but its for one of my two pixel trees but its right there up close to the back of the tree. I do use a couple of ports to run to two pixel arches, however I've found that beyond about 30 feet, the signal is just too week and it glitches. I've not yet investigated the newer 24volt systems.

Arthur Adair Brooke (1874-1959) was born in Rome, Italy. He was raised and educated in both Switzerland and England. At 16 years of age, he moved to Canada and took up residence in Carmen, Manitoba, where he began to farm in 1894. He later moved to Didsbury, Alberta, where he homesteaded.
Mr. A.A. Brooke moved to Salmon Arm in 1907 and acquired property in the Salmon River Valley region. He farmed this area until his retirement in 1944.
An active member of the community, Mr. Brooke lead the development of the Salmon Arm Creamery and he was president of the Dairymen's Co-operative Organization for 12 years. Arthur Brooke served as a member of the municipal council when the Ward System was still in effect. As well, he had a healthy involvement in church matters and was a member of the Baptist congregation.
Mr. Brooke had a strong interest in cows; in particular, in Holstein cattle. He was a long-standing member of the Holstein-Friesian Association of Canada. Mr. Brooke was also an accomplished artist; his work in water colours depicting farm and homesteading scenes became well known across Eastern Canada and United States.
Mr. Brooke was married to Annie Florence Brooke (Ruth). Together, they had three sons: Harold Arthur, Ralph Edward, and Ernest Cuthbert, and one daughter: Ruth Adair. At the time of his death, he was survived by all of his children, 12 grandchildren and 16 great-grandchildren, five brothers: Charles, Hugh, Stephen, Robin, and Percy, and one sister.
The fonds consists of material from Ruth Brooke's educational correspondence courses, personal correspondence, flyers and brochures, one photograph, tuberculosis testing records for cows, herd milk and butterfat production records, Holstein-Friesian Association of Canada records, blank forms, and newspaper clippings both related and unrelated to Salmon Arm.

The Delusional Duke of Nigarus
spiccato
large ensemble tuba
By Anthony Johnson
October 29, 2016 in Orchestral and Large Ensemble
With this I tried to tell a story about a Duke that belongs to royalty who is very delusional and twisted.
I tried to do something I don't normally do with instrumentation and I attempted to go for the film score level...
Edited October 30, 2016 by LostSamurai
Monarcheon
The reason this sounds a little awkward to me is that all of your chords are minor. There's nothing inherently wrong with that, but makes some of the borrowed chords sound like they jump rather than transition.
It sounds pretty impressive on a purely visual standpoint, and the awrkwadness was not often. Also, your endings... better this time but didn't seem to really be grounded.
Thanks. I'll definitely keep that in mind next time around, the chords and the ending I mean.
Personally I thought my tuba and spiccato strings were too loud in my quieter parts.
I think it's very nice. I has an air of mystery, perhaps because the melody is a bit jumpy.
3 hours ago, Luis Hernández said:
The initial idea was to express a feeling of being mentally unstable, delusional, twisted, sick, and evil, so the jumpy melody was intended. I think in order to express a certain mental instability something cannot be the same for a long period of time so to speak. It has to be unstable, jumpy, ever changing...otherwise it would've gave the feeling of a mentally healthy person.
When the percussion come in later during that high point it was this twisted individual's way of saying "Minions and slaves go unleash fury on these poor innocent people."
I'm glad you guys enjoy it.
Nice. I like that tuba melody. He is quite the unstable old fella, isn't he?
11 minutes ago, Ken320 said:
Well I haven't mentioned this before but with the tuba, what I tried to convey was not only was this guy twisted and unstable but very gluttonous and obese.
Ok I admit I was playing The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky and there is a character in the game who is a duke that is exactly as I described.
SallyTheSeabird
Have to agree with Monarcheon, I feel that the way you delay the ending from 2:10 onwards sounds a bit odd.
All in all though the piece was very good. I really liked the entrance of the percussion in particular, very bold and epic.
My endings were always a bit odd so I'm doing much more research than ever before I start working on something new.
I was actually told that Mozart also had difficulty ending his pieces too which didn't make me feel too terrible cause I mean if a legendary composer has issues with that then a basic nobody shouldn't have a issue feeling bad about it hahaha.
But in general I am reading up on it and I was given a handful of helpful links to get me started on that so thank you all for enjoying my music as much as I enjoy the music you guys do.
bkho
I thought this was great. Reminds me of the soundtrack to Heroes of Might and Magic III which I consider one of the best video game soundtracks.
A have a circle of friends who plays that actually hahaha.


How frustrating to pay renter's insurance or homeowner's insurance for years only to be ignored, refused, or told "It's not covered" when you make your claim. Both renters and homeowners Insurance generally covers losses from theft, fire or water damage.
Allstate, Assurant, Geico and Esurance write most of the renter's insurance. Often you find your landlord requires you to buy renter's insurance.
We became involved in helping clients with these types of claims due to difficulty they experienced in collecting money rightfully due to them. And they experienced significant frustration. The biggest complaint was they were not receiving the correct value for their possessions. They were being cheated on the value of their possessions.
Considering these factors we opted to help on a contingent fee basis. This means that unless we recover money for you, there is no charge. If we do recover money the fee is 1/3 which is a standard contingent fee before an answer is filed once a lawsuit is filed with the Court. Once the insurance company answers a lawsuit we file on your behalf, your fee will be waived or reduced once the Court orders the insurance company to pay our fees.
Theft claims – After the initial police report there may be additional items you discover were stolen. Please contact the police and provide the total list of all stolen items.
Many of the policies require payment of the stolen items at replacement value. Replacement value is the best coverage. For proof of loss, photographs taken before the theft of the stolen items can be accepted as proof of ownership. Your photographs will have metadata embedded in them so ones taken BEFORE the theft are only the ones that can be used unless the property is found at a pawn shop after the theft. Hand written receipts are also generally accepted as proof of ownership.
Contact us via email by entering your name and information on clicking submit to the right.
Contact the police and give them a list of what was stolen. Take photos of any structural or personal property damage.
Know your policy number and date of the occurrence when you call to report the claim to your insurance company. Find out the name, telephone with extension of your adjuster and the claim number. If possible, find out if you will be paid the Replacement Value of your goods as opposed to the depreciated value as this will make a difference in the reimbursement amount.
When you discover additional items that were stolen, file a supplemental list with the police and insurance company.
Your policy will either pay actual cash value (ACV) which is what your good were worth when stolen or damaged factoring in depreciation. Replacement costs coverage (RCC) gets you a better amount as it pays you what it will cost to buy a new, comparable item.
Provide photos of the property that was stolen or damaged. (If you don't have photos perhaps your friends or family have photos).
Cooperate as we need you to supply us with photos or documents. There may be certain parts of the policy that allow you to receive money. This can be beneficial given the money you may be out of pocket to cover the deductible. If your policy caps what you can get for cash, firearms, jewelry or electronics, it is unfortunate because those are high ticket items and the ones most frequently stolen that is generally a large loss. You will be out of pocket for those losses so we look to see if another portion of the policy would allow you to collect reimbursement of your expenses and losses.
Provide receipts (even hand written paper receipts can be accepted) for the stolen or damaged property as proof that you had purchased them.
If at any time you cannot agree with your insurance company on a value of your items, let us take the frustration out of the process and handle the claim for you on a contingent fee. This means no stress to you and no charge unless and until you get the money you deserve for your property.

TYPE O NEGATIVE: 'Black No. 1' Sock Puppet Parody
Here's a Halloween special to lose your threads over: TUBE SOCK NEGATIVE, a gothic group of animated undergarments, has set out to prove that black matches with everything and that even the tightest knit sock can have a soft side. The sock puppet outfit's song "Sock Nvr. Worn" pays homage to its undead counterpart TYPE O NEGATIVE's 1993 hit "Black No. 1".
By emulating the dark and ominous themes found in the lyrics of the late Peter Steele, "Sock Nvr. Worn" delves into the harsh reality that "life is lonely for a stocking not used." The "moon beam's sheen" offers a glimpse into the vampiric features of Feeter Steel as he gazes upon the "brand named mark" across his mistress. Functionless laundry is simply vagrant cotton. They are the vagrants.
YouTube artist Sock Puppet Parody has created a laundry list of parody videos including sock puppet tributes to SLAYER, METALLICA, SLIPKNOT and many more. This year's Halloween iteration was lovingly carried out by steadfast fans of TYPE O NEGATIVE! Don't mistake lack of socks for fashion.
Steele passed away in April 2010 from heart failure at the age of 48.

Healthcare Organizations Use Different Approaches to Reducing Readmissions
Reducing Length of Stay Increases Cardiac Patient Readmissions
Senior [fraud-buster' program to go nationwide | Single Article
Case Management Insider: Reducing readmissions: Case management's critical role | Single Article
A program in the Chicago area is demonstrating the value of tailoring discharge plans to the particular needs of elderly patients with little support outside the hospital.
These "solo seniors" often face complex medical challenges after discharge and can experience high rates of readmission without help from family and friends. With hospitals facing significant penalties from 30-day readmissions, the program could be a model for hospitals to emulate.
Seniors Alone Guardianship & Advocacy Services is a not-for-profit program that works with Chicago-area hospitals to closely monitor elderly patients after their release from the hospital.
The group helps spot health issues as they arise and see that patients are treated before these issues become serious enough to require readmission.
The advocates supervise post-discharge care to ensure patients are receiving what they need, whether in a skilled care facility or receiving care at home, explains Founder and Board Chair Teri Dreher, RN, CCRN, iRNPA, who left hospital nursing after 40 years as an intensive care nurse.
In addition to the seniors program, she also is chief advocate and president of North Shore Patient Advocates, a Chicago company that provides assistance to patients who need help navigating the healthcare system. Dreher was inspired to form Seniors Alone as a result of the struggling "senior orphans" she has met through her advocacy business. She notes that one out of every four seniors in Illinois must face healthcare challenges alone while surviving on less than $20,000 per year. The Seniors Alone assistance is particularly important for medically complex patients, which many seniors are, Dreher notes.
The Seniors Alone team includes experienced nurses, social workers, care managers, attorneys, and guardians. They work with healthcare providers, courts, and long-term care resources to ensure patients receive appropriate care.
If a hospital called on the program to assist with the discharge plan for a solo senior with a broken hip, the team would choose the rehabilitation facility and make post-rehab living arrangements, Dreher explains. This would include finding a skilled care facility or home healthcare agency, coordinating with Medicare and Medicaid, and monitoring the patient's ongoing health.
Seniors Alone's fees are assessed on a sliding scale, based on the client's ability to pay. The client readmission rate for Dreher's patient advocacy company has stayed under 1% for the last eight years, and she hopes to maintain the same rate for the not-for-profit Seniors Alone.
The American Hospital Association (AHA) reports that almost 20% of Medicare beneficiaries return for readmission within 30 days of discharge. Further, each readmission of a senior patient costs the hospital an average of $7,400.1 The AHA profiled a program at Rush University Medical Center in Chicago that focuses on the post-discharge needs of seniors.1
Staff from the hospital's older adult programs and case management department created the Enhanced Discharge Planning Program in which social workers call senior patients after discharge to check on compliance with their discharge plans. The social workers also look for unmet needs and facilitate solutions to meet those needs.
In a pilot program on four units, the social workers found 67% of discharged senior patients were not receiving necessary services, following discharge recommendations, or coping with care demands.1 Hospitals are interested in this type of support because many do not have the resources to provide this kind of support to solo seniors, even though they realize those patients can be in jeopardy after discharge, Dreher says. She encourages hospitals to consider developing similar programs because the need is significant — and so are the potential benefits.
"There are an awful lot of bad skilled nursing facilities, bad home care companies, and a lot of home care companies are going out of business because of new Medicaid guidelines," Dreher says.
"For seniors who don't have family to be their caregivers, they are really falling through the cracks, especially if they are starting to have cognitive issues," she continues. "They don't have someone to check on their medications, to oversee the care they're receiving from the skilled nursing facility or home care provider. You end up with them being readmitted to your hospital unnecessarily."
Addressing solo seniors with a post-discharge program can help reduce 30-day readmissions, improve patient engagement, boost patient compliance, and shorten hospital stays by helping families pick out a reliable rehab facility or home care company, Dreher says. "To us, it's a social justice issue. This country doesn't have a great way to take care of our seniors. With 10,000 people turning 65 every day, hospitals that can figure out how to best provide care management for these seniors without any support will serve their community better and reap benefits of their own, too," Dreher says.
"Hospitals sometimes keep patients for a week or two because they have no safe discharge plan, creating a pain point for the hospital that results in additional costs and burdens on your resources," she adds.
The costs for such a program, in-house or from an outside provider, should be offset by the savings in avoiding Medicare penalties for excessive readmissions and other losses that can come from treating solo seniors, Dreher says.
"Plus, [hospitals] have to carry the expense for the extended hospital stay of patients who are medically stable but can't be discharged without an adequate plan. They're sitting in a hospital bed that costs $3,000 to $4,000 a day," Dreher says. "When the insurance companies and Medicare say they're not paying for more days, the hospital administration is stuck. It costs too much money to keep them, but you don't want to discharge them and see them come back for readmission within a month."
Dreher says quality professionals can make a business case for providing special discharge planning for solo seniors, in addition to the improvement in community support for a vulnerable population.
"We can do it because it's the right thing to do for these senior patients who don't deserve to be left on their own at this time in their lives. But there's no doubt that hospitals will see a benefit to the bottom line as well," Dreher says.

Understanding Crystallisation: Faraday Discussion
6 - 8 September 2021, Leeds, United Kingdom
Join us in Leeds in September 2021 for this addition to our Faraday Discussion series. For over 100 years and 300 meetings, Faraday Discussions have been the forefront of physical chemistry. Many of these Discussions have become landmark meetings in their field.
This meeting is for established and early-career scientists, post-graduate students and industrial researchers interested in measuring, modelling and designing crystallisation processes. The unique format of the Faraday Discussions will allow for in-depth discussions of issues critical to the development of crystallisation research. The meeting will bring together communities of scientists studying nucleation in different contexts such as inorganics, organics, porous materials, and biological systems, offering opportunities to establish new collaborations.
On behalf of our committee, we look forward to welcoming you to Leeds.
Fiona Meldrum
Chair, Understanding Crystallisation
The RSC is keen to encourage and enable as many people as possible to attend our events, to benefit from the networking opportunities and the chance to hear talks from leaders in the field. If you would like to discuss accessibility, or have childcare, caring responsibilities or other care needs, please contact us to discuss your requirements so that we can enable your attendance. Please refer also to our Grants for carers fund, for more information please see the 'bursaries' section on this page.
Faraday Discussions remain amongst the only conferences to distribute the speakers' research papers in advance, allowing the majority of each meeting to be devoted to discussion in which all delegates can participate. Following each meeting a written record of the discussion is published alongside the papers in the Faraday Discussions journal.
Find out more about the Faraday Discussions in this video:
Crystallisation, the spontaneous arrangement of molecular building blocks into ordered solid particles, is a fascinating phenomenon. Understanding the dynamic, molecular-scale processes that underlie crystal nucleation and growth holds the key to designing the production of specific crystalline materials. The ability to induce crystallisation how, when and where we want it is key to material synthesis. Such capabilities will transform industrial and environmental sectors, including healthcare, formulated products, oil and gas, water, mining and advanced materials.
The Discussion will focus on the following four themes:
Understanding crystal nucleation mechanisms: where do we stand?
We will discuss recent advances and outstanding challenges in measuring, modelling and engineering the nucleation of crystals. Classical nucleation theory and its relevance, controlling nucleation and tackling heterogeneous nucleation will be discussed. We will ask which model systems best enable theory and experiment to work together to provide new insights, what we can learn from colloidal systems, and if we can understand and engineer secondary nucleation.
Growing crystals by design
This session will cover advances and challenges in modelling, measuring and engineering crystal growth, with an emphasis on predicting morphologies and influencing growth via engineered surfaces. We will discuss what factors to control to engineer growth, kinetics versus thermodynamics in crystal growth, and understanding where crystal growth appears on the surface. We will also ask whether epitaxial matching matters and if we can engineer surface topography to direct growth.
Controlling polymorphism
Polymorphism affects both organic and inorganic materials, in particular carbonates. Challenges lie in predicting the polymorphic outcome of a crystallisation process, polymorph solubility and exploiting polymorphism to obtain adaptive functional materials such as breathing MOFs. In this session, the prediction of processes that lead to specific polymorphs, the size a growing cluster has to be before its crystal phase is fixed and the prevention of unwanted polymorph production will all be discussed.
Learning Lessons from Nature – the future of biomimetics
In nature, crystallisation plays a role in many biological systems. Complex control mechanisms involving peptides, confined volumes and crowded environments allow natural crystalline materials to grow into beautiful, functional structures. This session will cover the use of biomimetic principles in engineering functional materials and developing more efficient crystallisation processes. We will discuss the limitations of biomimetic principles and how to get around these. We will also consider if the ability to design multifunctional nanocomposite materials, which are themselves devices, is within reach.

\section{Introduction}

Although we have yet to obtain a microscopic solution of the Kondo lattice problem that serves as a model for heavy electron materials, thanks to a recent phenomenological analysis \cite{Yang2008a,Yang2008b,Yang2009a,Yang2009b} of decades of experimental efforts on heavy electron behavior, we now have an experiment-based model for their behavior that explains existing experiments and has predictive power in the exploration of new families of heavy electron materials. Our model provides a unified explanation of the emergence of the heavy electron Kondo liquid that is responsible for the anomalies seen in the Knight shift, magneto-transport, and other experiments, leads to a new phase diagram that replaces the Doniach picture, and has the potential for becoming the standard model of heavy electron physics. It contains several basic aspects:

\begin{itemize}
\item{There exists a unique temperature scale $T^*$ for each heavy electron material; it marks the emergence of a new state of matter, a coherent heavy electron (Kondo) liquid that is  produced by the collective hybridization of the local moments with the conduction electron sea, and exhibits universal behavior that scales with $T^*$\cite{Yang2008a}.}

\item{$T^*$ is the nearest neighbor RKKY (Ruderman-Kittel-Kasuya-Yosida) local moment interaction; for the local moments it separates their high-$T$ weakly interacting phase from their low-$T$ entangled phase. It is given by $\sim\,$$0.45J^2\rho$, where $J$ is the single-ion Kondo coupling to the background conduction electron density of states $\rho$ \cite{Yang2008b}.}

\item{The entangled phase below $T^*$ is described by a two-fluid model \cite{Yang2008a,Nakatsuji2004,Curro2004} in which an order parameter, $f(T/T^*)$, characterizes the reduction of the overall system entropy brought about by the transfer of spectral weight from the f-electron local moments to the itinerant  heavy electron Kondo liquid formed out of the conduction electron sea.}

\item{The quasiparticles of the Kondo liquid exhibit coherent non-Landau Fermi liquid behavior; their  spin susceptibility and specific heat vary as $\ln(T^*/T)$ down to a crossover temperature $T_0$.}

\item{Their behavior below $T_0$ can lead to unconventional superconductivity produced by quantum critical fluctuations \cite{Yang2009b}, or an antiferromagntic ordering of the local moments in which Kondo liquid relocalization occurs  as a precursor \cite{Yang2010}.}
\end{itemize}

The position of a number of heavy electron materials on our proposed new phase diagram is given in Fig.~\ref{fig1}, where we see that $J\rho\sim\,$0.15 roughly separates the  antiferromagnets and superconductors. In striking contrast to the conventional Doniach diagram which postulates  a competition between collective behavior produced by  RKKY interaction  and single-ion behavior characterized by the single-ion Kondo temperature, $T_K$, the latter quantity is  found to be much smaller than $T^*$ for almost all the materials considered there. In Fig.~\ref{fig2} we plot the variation of $T^*$, $T_0$, $T_K$, and the ordering temperatures, $T_N$ and $T_c$ as a function of pressure for the heavy electron material CeRhIn$_5$. There one can see how  the competition between localization (antiferromagnetic order)  and itinerancy (superconductivity) for Kondo liquid quasiparticles plays out as $J\rho$ increases.

\begin{figure}[h]

\end{minipage}
\end{figure}

\section{The physical origin and determination of the fundamental temperature scale $T^*$}

The Kondo coupling $J$ between a localized f-moment and conduction electron spins gives rise to two competing characteristic temperature scales in a Kondo lattice:
\begin{eqnarray}
k_BT_K&=&\rho^{-1}e^{-1/J\rho},\\
k_BT_{RKKY}&=&cJ^2\rho,
\label{RKKY}
\end{eqnarray}
where $\rho$, the density of states of conduction electrons, can be determined by the Sommerfeld coefficient $\gamma$ of the corresponding nonmagnetic compound (e.g., LaCoIn$_5$ for CeCoIn$_5$), $\gamma=\pi^2k_B^2\rho/3$.  After a correction to account for change of chemical pressure upon doping, the value of $J$ for the Kondo lattice material can be determined by measurements of $T_K$  in the diluted compound (e.g., Ce$_{1-x}$La$_x$CoIn$_5$), where it is given by  $\pi^2k_B^2/3\gamma\ln(\pi^2k_B/3\gamma T_K)$.  An analysis \cite{Yang2008b} of dozens of heavy electron materials and the pressure data of CeRhIn$_5$ showed that in all cases of interest, $T_K$ was quite small compared to $T^*$, so that it was natural to inquire whether $T^*$ might be given by the RKKY interaction, Eq.~(\ref{RKKY}), with a near-universal value of $c$. As may be seen in Fig.~\ref{fig1}, this is indeed the case, with a best fit analysis yielding $c\sim\,$0.45, so that
\begin{equation}
k_BT^*=0.45J^2\rho.
\end{equation}

\section{The emergent heavy electron liquid}

Although $T^*$ marks the onset of coherent collective hybridization, the process is not instantaneous; the heavy electron Kondo liquid emerges over a broad temperature range from $T^*$ to a much lower cut-off temperature, $T_0$, and throughout  this temperature region, one therefore expects  two components: the emergent Kondo non-Landau  Fermi liquid composed of  conduction electrons made heavy by their collective hybridization with the local moments and a  local moment spin liquid formed by the  substantial fraction of local moments that have not hybridized.

One is thus led to postulate a two-fluid model \cite{Nakatsuji2004} with an order parameter $f(T/T^*)$ that denotes  the fraction of the f-moments that participate in the collective hybridization;  both $f(T/T^*)$ and the scaling properties of the Kondo liquid can be determined directly from experiments displaying the various heavy electron anomalies. Consider, for example, Knight shift measurements \cite{Curro2004}. Since the f-moments are fully localized above $T^*$, the Knight shift of a given probe nucleus measures directly  their susceptibility. Below $T^*$, it probes both the local moment and Kondo liquid contributions to the total magnetic susceptibility, $\chi$, But since it couples differently to each, it will no longer be proportional to the total susceptibility, hence the appearance of the  anomaly seen beginning at $T^*$. As shown in \cite{Yang2008a}, the two-fluid model expressions are thus:
\begin{eqnarray}
\chi&=&f(T)\chi_h + [1-f(T)]\chi_l,\\
K&=&K_0+Af(T)\chi_h + B[1-f(T)]\chi_l,
\end{eqnarray}
where $\chi_h$ and $\chi_l$ are the intrinsic susceptibility of the heavy electrons and the unhybridized local moments, respectively. $A$ and $B$ are their hyperfine couplings. Since the Knight shift anomaly below $T^*$ is given by,
\begin{equation}
K_a=K-K_0-B\chi=(A-B)f(T)\chi_h,
\end{equation}
we see that it acts as a direct probe of the emergent Kondo liquid susceptibility. A careful analysis of the Knight shift and other experiments on CeCoIn$_5$  shows that
\begin{equation}
f(T)=f_0\left(1-\frac{T}{T^*}\right)^{3/2},
\end{equation}
while if one requires that the intrinsic entropy of the Kondo liquid approaches the free moment entropy $R\ln$2 at $T^*$,
\begin{equation}
\chi_h=R_W\frac{R\ln2}{2T^*}\left(1+\ln\frac{T^*}{T}\right),
\label{chih}
\end{equation}
where $R_W$ is the Wilson ratio.  Knight shift measurements on other heavy electron materials and fits to the anomalous behavior seen in magneto-transport, point contact spectroscopy, and Raman spectroscopy show that these expressions are universal \cite{Yang2008a}. A comparison to recent state-of-the-art numerical DMFT calculations \cite{Shim2007} shows good agreement with the Kondo liquid quasi-particle density of states determined from Eq.~(\ref{chih}), and demonstrates that that these contain the feedback needed to achieve collective hybridization.

\section{Superconducting condensation and antiferromagnetic relocalization}

The low temperature cut-off at $T_0$ in the measured scaling behavior of the Kondo liquid marks the onset of new physical processes that take precedence over its growth due to collective hybridization. The two-fluid model continues to apply in this region, and provides important information about both the unconventional superconducting states and the onset of antiferromagnetism observed in heavy electron materials. Knight shift measurements are especially informative, as these provide direct information on changes in the Kondo liquid as the material becomes superconducting or antiferromagnetic. An analysis of CeCoIn$_5$ confirms the universal behavior of the Kondo liquid \cite{Yang2009b}: it follows two-fluid prediction above $T_0$ ($\sim T_c$) and, upon becoming superconducting, follows  the  BCS d-wave prediction below $T_c$, independent of the probe nuclei. Important information on the pairing mechanism for the measured d-wave superconductivity can be obtained from the NQR spin-lattice relaxation rate $T_1^{-1}$.
by using the two-fluid formula
\begin{equation}
\frac{1}{T_1}=\frac{f(T)}{T_{1h}}+\frac{1-f(T)}{T_{1l}},
\end{equation}
where the local moment $T_{1l}^{-1}$ is given by the high temperature fit.
A simple two-fluid analysis reveals quantum critical fluctuations in the Kondo liquid, and yields \cite{Yang2009b}
\begin{equation}
T_{1h}T\propto (T+T_{QCP}),
\end{equation}
where $T_{QCP}$ is the distance from the quantum critical point.

A similar two-fluid analysis applied to heavy electron antiferromagnets CeRhIn$_5$ and CePt$_2$In$_7$ has recently led to the discovery that at a temperature $T_0$ well above the N\'eel temperature, the Kondo liquid begins to relocalize, with a corresponding decrease in $f(T)$, confirming the important role played by the Kondo liquid in bringing about the antiferromagnetic order of both it and the residual local moments present at $T_N$.

\section{Toward a standard predictive model of heavy electron materials}

By analogy to the idea of a standard model based on a well-defined microscopic theory, we have proposed here an experiment-based standard phenomenological model for heavy electron materials that derives from the successful systematic examination of existing experiments on a broad spectrum of heavy electron materials. Its predictions for heavy electron emergence at $T^*$ accompanied by anomalous scaling behavior can easily be checked for any newly-discovered heavy electron family, and have recently been confirmed by experiments on the newly-discovered 127 family.

Of particular interest are the correlations in our model between measured values of $J\rho$ and the appearance of antiferromagnetism and superconductivity at low temperatures. As we have noted, materials with $J\rho<0.15$ all appear to be antiferromagnets, but can easily be made into superconductors by applying pressure to increase $J\rho$, as Fig.~\ref{fig2} demonstrates vividly for the Rh-115 family. Moreover, since the superconducting transition temperature seems to scale with $T^*$, a strategy for finding a higher $T_c$ family of heavy electron materials might begin by searching for materials with large values of $T^*$, a strategy that proved successful in the discovery of the PuGa members of the 115 family. We note this can be achieved either by finding materials with values of $J\rho$ that significantly exceed 0.15, or, with $J\rho\sim0.15$, finding materials that  possess a comparatively low value of $\rho$, or equivalently a large conduction electron bandwidth, and a correspondingly high value of $J$. Moreover, to the extent that $T_c$ scales with $T^*$,  for a fixed value of $J\rho$, one would have $T_c$ scaling with $J$ or the conduction electron bandwidth $W\sim\rho^{-1}$.

Live: Dimmu Borgir @ Kentish Town Forum – Tuesday, 21 September 2010
When Norwegian bands are in town, chances are you'll find Tom Dare slinking around for a good vantage point. When it's Dimmu Borgir in the capital, you'll struggle to keep him away. This time though, he wishes he had.
When Dimmu Borgir announced they were playing a London date, the initial reaction was "fuck yes!". When the venue was announced as The Forum, the initial reaction was "oh fuck". Anyone familiar with the venue will know of its… 'interesting' acoustics, and how a band with the grand symphonics like Dimmu could be particularly hampered. Yet this could not hint at the myriad of dire problems that would afflict a genuinely shocking headline performance.
