My friend, Jeff, and one of my students, Gavin, started what we call, "Tuesday Run Club". Makes it a whole lot easier to get out the door.
Two months ago I decided to start training for a Half-Ironman. Is it crazy? Sure, but it is all relative. I simply enjoy triathlon as a hobby and have always wanted to attempt a half-Ironman with or without a stomach, so why not tri? See what I did there? With Marne attempting a full marathon, it is simply about continuing to enjoy life to the best of our ability and to take what our body will give us each day. Reading her blog literally made me pump my fist in the air. Go team No Stomach!
In motorcycle racing there is a saying, "slow is smooth, smooth is fast." Aside from the no stomach aspect of training, this venture means tackling a few new variables around hydration, nutrition, and a low carb diet. During this season, I need to keep the big picture constantly in mind whenever I want to push my body beyond what it allows me for a particular day. I have to remember that I cannot just go out and follow some online training guide and hit every meter and every mile as prescribed. I cannot sacrifice the long term goal for the immediate satisfaction of personal records on Strava.
I have to remember the goal of this race is not about finishing is some arbitrary amount of time – it is about finishing the race. So, this means in my training there will be times when I have to slow down or even stop as I navigate intermittent intestinal pain, bowel obstructions and, at the same time, be conscious of relying on highly addictive opioid pain medication. My childhood friend and a fellow triathlete, Scott, recommended a resource I found helpful in this regard called, Primal Endurance by Mark Sission. In this book, Mark argues in his own way, "slow is smooth, smooth is fast and fast wins races." As a former professional triathlete and now a successful trainer, he discovered athletes too often pursue the instant gratification of pounding away at difficult workouts under the banner of "consistency" without paying attention to their bodies.
A couple of weeks ago I started to feel the onset of another bowel obstruction. Usually a couple days on a liquid diet and I am in the clear, but in this particular case, it took a few days longer.
I'm going to do a video blog about what I do on a liquid diet soon, so stay tuned!
I love you, Dreven Dang!
First of all, I'm so sorry to hear about your diagnosis I hope 2 weeks out you are finding the mobility getting a little easier. Reading blogs and the stories of others made a huge difference for my recovery so let me know if you have any questions!
Thanks Steve. I wasn't really clear, I'm 2 weeks away from getting my TG. I do appreciate your blog and your offer to answer an questions.
oh man! Well in that case, I'll be praying for you as you start your journey! Eat well!


Mine went up under 2% under Trump so I guess - you are one of the lucky ones.
I actually brought home about 20 bucks more per paycheck, but I'm not complaining. Wow, yours went up significantly, another poster said theirs doubled under Trump. I guess there are some really lucky people out there but most of us did not have such luck. Some even got laid off under Trump because of the tariffs and more jobs leaving the country.
Everybody has different circumstances and it is different everywhere so some are happy and some aren't.

Heat Eager to See How They Match Up With Celtics
MIAMI (AP) — When Miami visits Boston on Sunday, it'll be trying to stay atop the Eastern Conference and extend the NBA's longest current winning streak.
And those will be Miami's secondary goals.
To , what matters most is finding a way to finally beat the reigning East champions. Miami is 0-2 against Boston this season and lost to the in the first round of last year's playoffs in a largely one-sided series. After that, Boston ousted and the as well.
"We just want to see where we're at," Heat guard Dwyane Wade said. "It's not as big as everyone seems to be making it. But it's not another regular-season game."
No, it isn't — not with these stakes.
A Boston win would ensure the Celtics clinch the season-series — and any potential tiebreakers — with Miami, plus move them back on top of the East standings. Miami moved into the East lead on Friday night by winning in Detroit, improving to 39-14 and a half-game clear of the Celtics.
Another win would mean Miami needs only to beat Indiana on Tuesday or Toronto on Wednesday to head into the All-Star break with the East's best mark.
"We're still trying to get better every day," said James, the two-time reigning NBA MVP who is averaging 26.2 points in his first season with the Heat. "We're taking every practice and every regular-season game like it is the playoffs because we can't afford to lose an opportunity to get better."
The teams haven't met since Nov. 11. Boston won 88-80 at home in the NBA season-opener Oct. 26, then prevailed 112-107 in Miami about two weeks later.
"Now we're sitting on top of the East, going into a hostile place where we did not play well the first game of the year," Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said. "We respect who the Boston Celtics are and what they've proven the last 3½ years. So this is what everybody, the fans, the media and everybody out there, this is what they want."
The last time Miami led the East was in the second week of January, and as soon as the Heat reached the top spot, they plummeted. Miami lost four straight, Boston simultaneously won five in a row, and the gap between the two was sizable once again.
It's disappeared rather quickly. Miami brings an eight-game win streak into Sunday, while the Celtics suddenly look vulnerable after losing four of their last seven.
"I don't think they care about that," Spoelstra said. "They have confidence in what they've done. They've proven themselves. I'm sure if they're sitting over there, they feel like they have enough to beat us."
Earlier this season, that was clear.
But after dealing with a slew of early growing pains, the Heat say the team they are now doesn't even compare to the one that faced Boston months ago.
Miami started 9-8, a predictably rocky — though bumpier than some expected — start after finding the best way to have Wade, James, Chris Bosh and a slew of other new faces on the roster together. Two of those eight losses came against the Celtics.
"It took us a little time," Wade said. "And now we're very comfortable in late games and we feel like we should win if the game is close. It's not always going to go that way, but we have that mentality."
Since then, the Heat have posted the NBA's best record, winning 30 of their last 36 games. And in four of those six losses, Miami was without either Bosh, Wade or James because of injury.
Each of Miami's "Big 3" will be in the lineup on Sunday.
"It's going to be a hostile environment," James said. "It's going to be a great game. It's two teams that have the same aspirations, and that's to win the NBA championship. They're the defending Eastern Conference champions and you've got to kind of go through them to get what you want."

At Its Root
June 7, 2019 NFCR Writer David Perry Blog
Chaos can be surprisingly orderly. While cancer is characterized by uncontrolled cell growth, that growth is, nevertheless, the result of a very particular cascade of events, from carcinogen exposure to genetic mutations. Interfere with that cascade, and cancer can be ground to a halt, or even killed off. The efforts of longtime NFCR-supported research luminary, Harold Dvorak, M.D., help reveal this—specifically, his work with a particular protein.
"It's a growth factor made by tumor cells but also has a very important role in wound healing," Dr. Dvorak explains, speaking of the protein. "And, in fact, what tumors do by making VEGF is mimicking wound healing. Tumors become wounds that do not heal."
His discovery of VEGF, which in 2006 garnered Dr. Dvorak the inaugural Szent-Györgyi Prize for Progress in Cancer Research, is an exquisite example of the paradigm shift oncology is currently experiencing: a move from what cancer is to discovering why cancer does what it does. And an entire category of effective, powerful and commonly used anti-cancer drugs are rooted in this NFCR-supported discovery.
VEGF is short for "vascular endothelial growth factor," and comes in forms A, B, C and D. This family of proteins is an absolutely vital part of bodily growth, being responsible for the formation of the embryonic circulatory system, the development of lymphatic vasculature and, perhaps most importantly, the growth of blood vessels from pre-existing vasculature, which is essential to wound healing. While it is vital to the health of the body, too much of it leads to problems down the line.
In order to grow from a single, mutated cell, cancer has to hijack standing biological systems in order to support itself. Indeed, it creates its own rooting and connective tissue, known as stroma.
With financial backing from NFCR commencing in 1980, Dr. Dvorak sought out to understand how stroma developed. He observed that one component of a tumor's connective tissue was a then-unidentified protein, normally found in blood, that made vessels "leaky." Seepage induced new vessel formation. He suspected that there had to be something the tissues were making in order to cause this leaking, which was creating stroma.
Indeed, as his research soon uncovered: There was! VEGF was the protein, and his discovery of it in 1983 was a huge leap for oncology.
"Stroma is the supportive connective tissue; all tissues in the body need stroma," Dr. Dvorak explains. "Tumors need blood vessels to survive and grow. And so, what VEGF does is induce the formation of stroma and new blood vessels. If you block VEGF, you block new blood vessel formation, thereby starving tumors."
Based on this principle, cancer drugs like bevacizumab, sold under the trade name Avastin® and first approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in 2004, bind to VEGF and render it inert. Without this critical chemical signaling device, its roots whither and a tumor cannot get the nutrients it needs to grow. Indeed, it cannot even begin to do so (or continue to do so).
Avastin is currently approved for the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer, renal cell carcinoma, the aggressive brain cancer glioblastoma multiforme and certain types of cervical and ovarian cancers. Neutralizing VEGF has become such a powerful tool, that today, Avastin is applied to even non-cancerous conditions: The drug has been shown effective in slowing the effects of age-related macular degeneration and other diseases of the eye where a proliferation of blood vessels is the cause.
At the origin of Avastin and other VEGF-targeting drugs' development and widespread use lies the willingness of NFCR to first fund research into a hunch. This hunch, well-reasoned and valid, bore out. Nearly four decades later, it has improved the lives of millions of cancer patients.

Over 3,000 Rooftop Solar Systems with Net Metering Totaling 106 MW Installed in Delhi
The residential segment accounted for a big chunk of the total connections
Rooftop, Solar
Distribution companies (DISCOMs) in Delhi have installed 3,140 rooftop solar installations with a connected load of 106 MW in the national capital. These systems are saving ₹680 million ($9.35 million) annually.
The residential segment accounted for 1,805 of the total connections, followed by 665 in the educational segment, and 554 in the commercial segment, according to BSES.
The two DISCOMs, BSES Rajdhani Power Limited (BRPL) and BSES Yamuna Private Limited (BYPL), are planning to install over 1,000 rooftop solar systems in the financial year (FY) 2021-22. The two companies are joint ventures between Reliance Infrastructure Limited and the Government of the National Capital Territory of Delhi.
The response to the rooftop installations with net metering has been highly encouraging in the BSES areas, and consumers across all segments are opting for a rooftop with a net metering facility, BSES said.
Based on the energized load, the educational segment has been on the top with a connected load of 43 MW, followed by commercial with 28 MW, residential with 23 MW, industrial with 3 MW, and others with 3 MW.
The rooftop installations have been popular among the housing complexes, with around 90 housing societies and apartments opting for rooftop solar with a sanctioned load of over 5 MW.
BSES said consumers in the commercial category could save nearly ₹258 million (~$3.5 million) annually if they go solar, while educational institutions could save ₹237.3 million (~$3.27 million) and residential consumers ₹98 million (~$1.35 million).
A BSES spokesperson said, "In a bid to realize the full potential, BSES is leading the efforts for accelerated adoption of rooftop solar in the capital region. Our Solar City initiative is promising to be a game-changer. Besides promoting solar adoption, the initiative is a win-win proposition for both consumers and DISCOMs. The solar outreach program also educates consumers about the benefits of solar energy while ensuring strict quality compliance of the systems being installed. It is also facilitating various finance options available to the consumers."
BSES has energized rooftop net metering connections ranging from a sanctioned load of 1 kW to over 2,000 kW.
The initiative of actively implementing the rooftop solar program will also help BRPL and BYPL meet their renewable purchase obligation targets and help the DISCOMs minimize overloading in congested areas in the summer months.
As per estimates, the exploitable solar potential in the south and west Delhi is around 800 MW, and around 200 MW in the east and central Delhi.
In November last year, BRPL and BYPL expanded the solar city program by launching 'Solarize Safdarjung' and 'Solarize Kakardooma' projects in Delhi. Under the program, consumers are offered premium, customized, and non-subsidized solar solutions, including imported components, easy financing options, extended warranty, and additional annual maintenance services under the CAPEX model.
Earlier, the Delhi Electricity Regulatory Commission (DERC) amended its regulations on group net metering and virtual net metering for renewable energy to make it applicable for consumers under the domestic category as well as consumers such as hospitals, colleges, schools, and other institutions run or managed by charitable institutions.

[The Star] The American dream: Naas if you can get it
Botha has no regrets about his failed NFL career bid as young bloods make the crossover
NICK KARIUKI
IN 1983 Naas Botha left South Africa and rugby to try to make it in the US as a place kicker in American football.
The day he was meant to try out for the Chicago Bears, the field was frozen. He tried the Tampa Bay Buccaneers next but they had never heard of the Springbok flyhalf.
After a call from a Dallas Cowboys scout, Botha went to try out and did quite well. He was called to the Cowboys training camp and played a few pre-season games but didn't secure a place with the team.
I hung around in Dallas and played for the Dallas Harlequins, and we won the national champion- ship," Botha said. "So I was part of at least one team of Dallas winning the national championship."
This was the Quins' only national championship.
Though rugby and its gridiron offshoot differ greatly in their rules and styles of play, coaches from both sports have recently made efforts to try to see what aspects of the other sports they can bring in to improve their programme.
"I think rugby will be able to see why football does it the way it does," said Rex Norris, the head of football for ATAVUS, a company in Seattle that seeks to grow rugby's profile in the US.

Q: LINQ using multiple databases I'm new to MVC & LINQ but we are using them in a new project and I need some help.  We have an MVC 4 app that we are creating and I need to get the details of a particular site but the information is in 2 different databases.  DB1 is where most of the info reside while DB2 has only 2 pieces that I need.  In short, the DB1 has tables Sites, SiteAddress, Address, and ProductVersions. DB2 as States, Products, Versions, and ProductVersions.  In SQL, I can use the following to get what I need:
SELECT db1_s.SiteName, db1_s.PhoneNumber, db1_a.Address, db1_a.Address2, db1_a.City, db2_st.StateName, db1_a.ZipCode, db2_v.VersionNumber, db1_pv.ProductVersionID
FROM DB1.dbo.Sites db1_s
INNER JOIN DB1.dbo.SiteAddress db1_sa ON db1_s.SiteID = db1_sa.SiteID
INNER JOIN DB1.dbo.Address db1_a ON db1_sa.AddressID = db1_a.AddressID
INNER JOIN DB1.dbo.SiteProductVersions db1_spv ON db1_s.SiteID = db1_spv.SiteID
INNER JOIN DB1.dbo.ProductVersions db1_pv ON db1_spv.ProductVersionID = db1_pv.ProductVersionID
INNER JOIN DB2.dbo.States db2_st ON db1_a.StateID = db2_st.StateID
INNER JOIN DB2.dbo.ProductVersions db2_pv ON db1_spv.ProductVersionID = db2_pv.ProductVersionID
INNER JOIN DB2.dbo.Versions db2_v ON db2_pv.VersionID = db2_v.VersionID
WHERE db1_s.SiteID = 35

I did some research and found there's really no way to use LINQ to join tables across different databases, instead to use Lists and combine them, which is where I'm having difficulty.
I created a Model for the view like so:
public class SiteDetailsViewModel
{
    public string SiteName { get; set; }
    public string Address { get; set; }
    public string Address2 { get; set; }
    public string City { get; set; }
    public string State { get; set; }
    public string ZipCode { get; set; }

    public string PhoneNumber { get; set; }

    public int ProductVersionId { get; set; }
    public List<Version> Versions { get; set; }
}

The view only contains labels to display the data, with the exception of Versions.  I'd like that to be a dropdown list of available versions (which is why I created List).
Can anyone give me some guidance as to the best way to convert this to LINQ and use it as a data model for my view?

A: You can use this article in code project  or this  question.

Halbert's dunk launches Holland Christian past Dutch
Chris. Zadorozny @hollandsentinel.com, (616) 546-4290 @SentinelZads
HOLLAND — You could feel the electric energy inside the Heeringa Civic Center on Wednesday night.
The crowd was loud, both Holland and Holland Christian's benches showed the excitement during big plays, but it was a dunk in the third quarter that solidified a big win for one team.
After waiting one night to play the first rivalry game inside the newly renovated gymnasium because of a weather postponement, Jaxon Halbert and the Maroons made sure to provide that excitement.
Already leading by 16 points late in the third quarter, it was Halbert's dunk that solidified a 67-40 Holland Christian win over rival Holland.
"Anytime, especially in high school when you get a dunk like that, I think the energy just increases automatically," Holland Christian coach David Kool said. "On a Wednesday night game, a made-up game, it's tough, you don't know what to expect, but the crowd was great, our students are great every night and the energy was good as it always here."
As the ball came to mid-court, senior Will Van Wieren was able to scoop up the loose ball and while diving to get it, tossed to to an open Halbert inside the paint, who then went up for the uncontested dunk that sent the Maroon Platoon student section into a frenzy.
"I didn't know if Will was going to get it off to me. I was waiting for the ball, he made a good play diving for it, I caught it, just rose up and right in the hoop and the crowd went crazy," Halbert said.
The Maroons, an honorable mention in the Associated Press Division 2 rankings, were able to close out the game, leading by 18 going into the fourth quarter. Ethan Alderink hit both of his free throws with 5:10 to play before a majority of the HC bench came in.
The Maroon Platoon and Dutch Nation student sections were loud and made Wednesday's game more energetic.
After the Maroons started the game strong, the Dutch were able to keep pace in the second quarter,
Holland Christian started off the game on an 11-0 run before Jake Punch stopped it with a layup with 3:55 remaining in the opening quarter.
Heading into the second quarter, the Maroons led 23-11.
Holland began to close in during the second quarter.
After Alderink put the Maroons up by 15, DeQuez Williams made a field goal and Anders Rasmussen hit a 3 to put Holland behind by 10 points.
Alderink made a bucket putting the Maroons up 12 into their own timeout, 32-20 with 2:50 remaining in the first half. But coming out of the timeout, Rasmussen hit a 3 and then a reverse layup to give the Dutch some life going into the second half.
"We got to get DeQuez the ball and we did not do that early on, we get him the basketball and he does what he does with it. It opens it up for everybody else," Holland coach Corey Wolters said. "Getting him the ball is a focal point and sometimes we struggle at doing that. Just being competitive I think really helped us out and guys just stepping up and playing harder."
Alderink led the Maroons (9-2, 4-1 OK Green) with 22 points while Vince Overway had 16 points.
Williams led the Dutch (6-6, 3-3 OK Green) with 19 points while Rasmussen had 10 points.

June 14, 2009 The woman says her son was set on fire deliberately in the woods near her home.
Three teens turned themselves into police but were telling authorities a different story.
The incident happened in Hammond, Ind. late last week. The boy remained in the hospital Sunday night.
Cell phone video shows clearly, amid the prayers for a speedy recovery for Joshua Judkins, there is also concern and frustration after the three teens who allegedly set the boy on fire turned themselves in but claimed Joshua ignited himself.
"This could scar him for life. For him to grow up and realize that this happened to him," said Arthur Moore, the victim's grandfather.
Investigators say the boys, ages 13 and 14 told them at the Hammond police station Friday that it was as the group used lighters to set sticks on fire in the woods that Judkins supplied the rubbing alcohol from a first aid kit he found. They say Judkins ignited himself as he stood with the open bottle of rubbing alcohol between his knees.
However, Joshua's father says his son's charred shirt tells a different story.
"His chest area is burned also, not as severe as the back side and right side of his arm. So, how could he set himself on fire?" father Elijah Judkins said.
"He said he was standing in front of a tree, and the boys were behind him. And next, he said they threw alcohol on him, and he said, 'I was on fire,'" said the boy's mother Arkeensha Judkins. "We believe it was a hate crime."
Judkins' parents say the boys, whom Joshua met while visiting his mother, lured him into the woods and attacked him. They maintain Joshua never supplied any rubbing alcohol.
Sunday, police said all the accused teens told the same story and that they were not investigating the incident as racially motivated. Judkins in African-American. All the boys accused are white.
"They say they panicked. Two of them left, but at least one stayed and tried to help this boy to mitigate his injuries," said Lt. Richard Hoyda of Hammond Police Department," said Lt. Richard Hoyda of the Hammond Police Department.
"I don't think this is a prank. This is a hate crime," the victim's grandmother, Sandra Moore, said.
Joshua's parents say they don't know why he was targeted.
In the meantime, it remains unclear if the Indiana third-grader will have to have surgery to help heal the burns that cover about 20 percent of his body.
Investigators were still waiting to get Joshua's official statement Sunday night. There was no word on what charges, if any, would be brought.

Lie-admissible algebra
A (non-associative) algebra (cf. Non-associative rings and algebras) whose commutator algebra becomes a Lie algebra. It was first introduced by A.A. Albert in 1948 and originated from one of the defining identities for standard algebras [a1]. For an algebra over a field , the commutator algebra of is the anti-commutative algebra with multiplication defined on the vector space . If is a Lie algebra, i.e. satisfies the Jacobi identity , then is called Lie-admissible (LA). Much of the structure theory of Lie-admissible algebras has been carried out initially under additional conditions such as the flexible identity or power associativity (i.e. every element generates an associative subalgebra), or both. An algebra is flexible Lie-admissible (FLA) if and only if it satisfies the identity
if and only if the mapping is a Lie module homomorphism of to for under the adjoint action. For this reason, representations of Lie algebras play a main role in the structure theory of FLA algebras [a2]. Lie and associative algebras are examples of FLA algebras.
Beginning with Albert's problem of classifying all power-associative FLA algebras with semi-simple [a1], a common theme of the structure theory in various mathematical, physical and geometrical settings has been to focus on the case of a prescribed Lie algebra structure on . Albert's problem was first solved in 1962 for finite-dimensional algebras over an algebraically closed field of characteristic 0, and such algebras turned out to be Lie algebras [a3]. This result was extended to the case of when is a classical Lie algebra or a generalized Witt algebra [a2], [a4] (cf. Witt algebra). In 1981, these algebras were classified without the assumption of power-associativity [a5], [a6]: When is simple over the base field as above, the multiplication in is given by
for a fixed scalar , where for not of type ( ), and for of type ( ), and is defined on by
where denotes the matrix product of and and is the identity matrix. Thus, the algebra with of type ( ) can not be power-associative. If is semi-simple, is a direct sum of simple algebras given by (a2). The classification was extended to the case where the solvable radical (cf. Radical of rings and algebras) of is a direct summand of or Abelian [a2]. In 1984, the algebras in Albert's problem were determined in the absence of flexibility [a7]: If is semi-simple with decomposition ( ), where the are simple ideals of , then the multiplication in has the form for , , where the are linear functionals on the and satisfy certain conditions prescribed in terms of graphs having 2, 3 or 4 vertices.
R.M. Santilli in 1978 obtained LA algebras (brackets) from a modified form of Hamilton's equations with external terms which represent a general non-self-adjoint Newtonian system in classical mechanics [a8]. Such a form leads to a time evolution
where is a local chart in a manifold of dimension , is a Hamiltonian, and a non-singular -tensor in a region with decomposition for and ( ). The symmetric tensor represents the presence of non-self-adjoint forces in the system. The commutator is given by in terms of the classical Poisson brackets and thus, by (a3), defines a Lie-admissible product on the -space of -functions in , where denotes the field of real numbers. The bracket , or , is called a fundamental Lie-admissible bracket, or tensor. More generally, if for a skew-symmetric non-singular -tensor in a region, Lie-admissibility of or the bracket (a3) is described by partial differential equations of first order in . The general solution , called the general cosymplectic tensor, to these equations exists under certain conditions and plays a central role in Birkhoffian mechanics (a generalization of Hamiltonian mechanics) [a9]. In this case , or , is called a general Lie-admissible bracket, or tensor. A quantum mechanical version of this leads to a time-development equation in an associative algebra of operators in a physical system, where and are in general non-Hermitian non-singular operators in which represent non-self-adjoint forces [a8]. From this equation, regarded as a generalization of the Heisenberg equation, one obtains an LA algebra , called the -mutation of , with product defined on an associative algebra with identity for fixed invertible . is not in general flexible or power-associative. In fact, any one of these conditions is equivalent to the relation for some invertible in the centre of [a10]. A special case of the above approach has been investigated by Santilli in 1967 [a11], where he first introduced LA algebras into physics: For real numbers , the bracket (a3) with and the algebra were considered for a generalization of Hamiltonian and quantum mechanics. According to Santilli [a8], the aim of this Lie-admissible approach is to make a transition from contemporary physical models based on Lie algebras or their graded-supersymmetric extensions to the general Lie-admissible models, which transition essentially permits the treatment of particles as being extended and therefore admits additional contact, non-potential and non-Hamiltonian interactions.
From a different point of view, S. Okubo [a12] in 1978 used FLA algebras to generalize the framework of the consistent canonical quantization procedure based on the associative law. A quantization is called consistent if the Hamiltonian equation of motion can reproduce the original Lagrange equation. Such a quantization can be done in based only on the canonical commutation relation and the identity (a1). If consists of operators in a physical system, then using (a1) it can be shown that the Heisenberg equation for some is essentially the most general time-development equation in , where is the commutator in . If the Hamiltonian is power-associative in , then the time-development operator is well defined for the Schrödinger formulation in with state vector satisfying . If, in addition, is weakly associative in , i.e. for all positive integers and , then the solution to the Heisenberg equation in has the form , as in the usual quantum mechanics. An example of such an algebra is the real pseudo-octonion algebra , which has the multiplication defined on the -space of Hermitian matrices of trace 0, where [a2]. is an FLA division algebra, with isomorphic to , and has some relevance to particle physics. It also plays an important role in the structure theory of real division algebras [a2].
An algebra over a field is called Mal'tsev-admissible (MA) if its commutator algebra becomes a Mal'tsev algebra, i.e., satisfies the Mal'tsev identity
It arises as a natural generalization of LA algebras as well as Mal'tsev algebras, and its structure theory is parallel to that of LA algebras [a2]. Alternative algebras (cf. Alternative rings and algebras) are examples of flexible Mal'tsev-admissible (FMA) algebras, and octonion algebras (also called Cayley–Dickson algebras, cf. Cayley–Dickson algebra) are FMA but not LA. For an octonion algebra over a field of characteristic with standard involution , one obtains an algebra with multiplication defined on . The algebra , called a para-octonion algebra, is a simple FMA algebra without identity and so not alternative [a2]. An algebra (not necessarily with identity) is called a composition algebra if there exists a non-degenerate quadratic form on such that for all . Any finite-dimensional flexible composition algebra ( ) is an MA algebra of dimension 1, 2, 4, or 8, and for dimension 8 octonion, pseudo-octonion and para-octonion algebras are the only such algebras [a13]. For an MA algebra , let , where is the adjoint mapping given by . Then is a Lie subalgebra of the derivation algebra of (cf. also Derivation in a ring), and if is FMA, then is also a subalgebra of and the mapping is a Lie module homomorphism of to for [a2]. Let be finite dimensional over a field of characteristic 0. If is semi-simple, then so is . Because of this, virtually all results about FLA algebras can be extended to FMA algebras [a2]. If is FMA with central simple, non-Lie over , then is a Mal'tsev algebra isomorphic to a -dimensional simple Mal'tsev algebra obtained from an octonion algebra (cf. Mal'tsev algebra). If is semi-simple and is algebraically closed, then is the direct sum of simple algebras given by (a2) and simple Mal'tsev algebras. Some of the work on MA algebras was motivated by algebraic formalisms in physics aimed at generalizing both the Lie-admissible and the octonionic approach in quantum mechanics.
LA and MA algebras also arise from differential geometry on Lie groups and reductive homogeneous spaces. For a (connected) Lie group with Lie algebra , the determination of all (left) invariant affine connections (cf. Affine connection) on reduces to the problem of classifying all algebras with a multiplication defined on ; the relation is given by for . In this case, is called the connection algebra of . Those connections which are torsion free correspond to the LA algebras with (i.e., ) [a14]. If, in addition, the curvature tensor of is zero (i.e., is flat), then satisfies the left-symmetric identity
The classification of left-invariant affine structures on reduces to that of left-symmetric algebras with [a15]. Other geometrical properties of on , such as geodesic, holonomy, pseudo-Riemannian structure, and infinitesimal generator, can be described in terms of . For example, if every vector field in is an infinitesimal generator for a one-parameter group of affine diffeomorphisms on for , then the connection algebra of is FLA [a14].
Let be a reductive homogeneous space with a fixed decomposition (direct sum), where is the Lie algebra of a closed Lie subgroup of and is a subspace of such that (or, equivalently, ). There is a one-one correspondence between the set of -invariant affine connections on and the set of algebras with , i.e., , the automorphism group of . The projection of onto for converts into an anti-commutative algebra , called a reductive algebra. More generally, an algebra is called reductive-admissible if is isomorphic to for some reductive decomposition of a Lie algebra . Those connections on which are torsion free correspond to the reductive-admissible algebras such that and or . Any MA algebra is reductive-admissible with , where is a Lie algebra with multiplication for and . Geometrical properties of on such as those above are described in terms of the connection algebra . For a detailed account of these, see [a15]–[a17].

BODYGUARD star Stuart Bowman has hinted at a shock twist following Julia Montague's death.
Bodyguard star Stuart Bowman, who plays Stephen Hunter-Dunn on the BBC drama, has hinted at a major twist following Julia Montague's death.
Keeley Hawes' character was killed off in an explosion in shocking scenes, with many believing she might not really be dead.
Now, Stuart has teased whether this theory could be correct, amid Keeley confirming her exit on Twitter.
Asked about the twist and whether there could be more to it by Piers Morgan and Susanna Reid on Good Morning Britain on Wednesday, Stuart remained coy over what he knew.
Major 'Bodyguard' death leaves viewers in shock - but is everything what it seems?
He also confessed his young son thought he, like his character, was head of MI5.
But Susanna was having none of it, convinced this was a story to distract them from noticing he swerved the question.
On avoiding the question, he replied: "Of course I have", with Piers backing his decision.
He couldn't keep a straight face though, appearing to hint she might still be alive.
Character David Budd found himself being a key suspect in the explosion, despite him being Julia's bodyguard.
Fans believe he is innocent though, still desperate to know who was behind the blast.

US Diplomat Pushes for Democratic Improvements Ahead of Elections
Tran Techseng and Nhim Sokhorn
| Wed Jun 2, 2021 8:03 pm
Prime Minister Hun Sen and US deputy secretary of state Wendy Sherman meet at Phnom Penh's Peace Palace on June 1, 2021, in a photo posted to Hun Sen's Facebook page.
A senior U.S. diplomat asked the Cambodian government to release political prisoners and restore democratic norms ahead of the 2022 and 2023 elections, she said during a conference call Wednesday.
The U.S. State Department's deputy secretary of state, Wendy Sherman, met Hun Sen at Phnom Penh's Peace Palace on Tuesday in a quick visit to the country. She raised U.S. concerns over a Chinese presence at Ream Naval Base in Preah Sihanouk province, Cambodia's democratic backsliding, and opposition leader Kem Sokha's ongoing treason trial, according to a U.S. State Department press release.
Sherman held a conference call with journalists on Wednesday to speak about her visit to the region. When asked if she had received any assurances that the dissolved CNRP would be reinstated, she said the Cambodian government should reopen the country's civic and political space ahead of upcoming elections.
"My message was clear from the United States and I hope that the prime minister is reading it carefully," she said during the call.
The country's main opposition CNRP was banned by the Supreme Court in 2017.
Sherman also emphasized the importance of human rights and workers' rights protections as fundamental to the countries' bilateral relations.
Government spokesperson Phay Siphan said Sherman's call was only a "request" and that political and human rights activists were being tried based on facts and Cambodian laws.
"It is following [legal] procedures. Without facts, we can do nothing, and if there are facts without the law, then we can do nothing too," he said.
The Tuesday meeting with Sherman was the first high-level meeting between Cambodia and the U.S. since the inauguration of U.S. President Joe Biden this year.
Sherman directly addressed the presence of Chinese military personnel at Ream Naval Base in Preah Sihanouk province and wanted an explanation as to why U.S.-built facilities at the base had been demolished without notice.
"[A] PRC military base in Cambodia would undermine its sovereignty, threaten regional security, and negatively impact U.S.-Cambodia relations," a statement released after the meeting reads.
The U.S. has been critical of construction activity at Ream Naval Base, after the Wall Street Journal reported in July 2019 that China's People's Liberation Army had signed a deal to have a military presence at the naval base.
Sherman met with opposition leader Sokha on Tuesday, according to a tweet from the U.S. Ambassador Patrick Murphy, and also interacted with civil society groups and journalists.
Hun Sen took to Facebook to highlight the issue of the wartime debt from the Lon Nol era, adding that three repayment options had been proposed to Sherman. The government offered to pay the debt gradually, cap the interest rate at 1 percent, or have 70 percent of the debt cycled back to the country as development assistance.
Ny Sokha, local rights group Adhoc's head of human rights, said that while it was encouraging the two sides addressed the human rights situation, it was unlikely to improve unless the ruling party was open to contesting elections against a strong opposition.
"I think what matters is the will of the government, especially the current ruling party; whether they are willing to resolve the political crisis, human rights issues, and economic issues in Cambodia or not," Sokha said.


Kantar Worldpanel grocery share figures for the 12 weeks to August 16 also reveal that Sainsbury's was the only one of the big four grocers to grow sales year on year.
Despite the 0.1% sales increase, Sainsbury's still lost its position as Britain's second largest supermarket to Asda because the latter's focus on non-food items traditionally results it its market share being higher in the summer.
Iceland recorded a 3.4% year-on-year increase in sales during the period, representing its largest sales growth since a 3.6% increase in April 2014.
Kantar attributes the sales rise to Iceland switching its marketing approach to focus on more premium products through its 'Power of Frozen' campaign and the opening of The Food Warehouse stores, which are more than double the size of a typical Iceland shop and provide a more upmarket offer.
However, despite the sales increase, Iceland's market share remained flat at 2% as discounters Aldi and Lidl continue to grow rapidly.
Kantar forecasts Sainsbury's will once again become the second largest grocer towards Christmas because Asda's non-food focus holds less sway then.
Overall there was continued sluggish growth across the market as sales edge up by 0.9% year on year.
Kantar Worldpanel head of retail and consumer insight Fraser McKevitt said: "Industry growth of around or below 1% has now persisted since summer 2014 and has become the new normal.
Waitrose recorded another strong period of growth as its Pick Your Own Offers promotion helped drive sales up 3.7%.
Aldi joint managing director of buying Jonathan Neale said: "Our performance during the peak summer period has been driven by a combination of strong offers on Specialbuy products, such as gardening, camping and summer sport products, as well as increasing demand for British-sourced fresh produce.
Iceland has been challenged by the discounters but the frozen food pioneer still packs a punch and is winning new customers.
Waitrose has unveiled a "game-changing" personalised marketing initiative as part of the latest move in the supermarket price war.
Analysis: Is Aldi and Lidl's growth starting to plateau?
Discounters Aldi and Lidl have sent shockwaves through UK grocery, but recent data shows the German duo's growth might be starting to wane.

Gators defeat SEC powers Alabama, Georgia on recruiting trail
By Edgar Thompson
Feb 06, 2019 | 3:45 PM
| Gainesville
Florida head coach Dan Mullen is drenched in a sport drink during the last seconds of the Peach Bowl NCAA college football game between Florida and Michigan Dec. 29 in Atlanta. Florida won 41-15. (Mike Stewart / AP)
The Florida Gators — and the rest of the SEC — lag behind Alabama and Georgia on the football field.
But the Gators made some nice inroads on the recruiting trail on National Signing Day.
Dan Mullen and his staff landed a big-time recruit at the expense of each of the SEC heavyweights.
The Gators' day got off to a fast start when Fort Lauderdale defensive end Khris Bogle — the state's No. 1 prospect according to the Orlando Sentinel's top 100 - changed his commitment from Alabama to UF.
Later, cornerback Kaiir Elam of North Palm Beach chose the Gators over archrival Georgia. Elam, the nephew of former UF All-America safety Matt Elam, seemed destined to end up in Gainesville until cornerbacks coach Charlton Warren bolted for Athens last month.
"I think that's huge for us and those are, right now, those are the teams that played for the SEC championship this year, and that's the level we want to be on," Mullen said of landing Bogle and Elam. "So being able to win those recruiting battles is going to help to hopefully beat them on the field, as well."
Neither player's decision had much impact on the 2019 classes at Alabama and Georgia — still ranked Nos. 1 and 2, respectively, by 247Sports.
But landing Bogle and Elam boosted the Gators class — ranked in the 30s late last summer — to the No. 9 spot. UF last ranked in the top 10 in 2014.
The Gators began the day with four players ranked in the top 150 — cornerback Chris Steele (No. 42), linebacker Tyron Hopper (88), tight end Keon Zipperer (104) and linebacker Mohamoud Diabate (109).

UF picked up four more Wednesday — Elam, Bogle, receiver Arjei Henderson (140) and linebacker Diwun Black (149)
Mullen said the Gators will have to continue to the trend to close the gap with programs like Alabama and Georgia. When he was the offensive coordinator at UF from 2005-08, the Gators had more talent than any team in the SEC, if not the nation.
"As I said we are here to build and bring back a program that competes regularly for championships and you've got to have good players to do that," Mullen said. "If you go back and you look at the championships in the mid-2000s here, there were an awful lot of talent on those rosters. So recruiting is a major part of it.
"Developing, coaching, all of that is a big part of it. But also having the talent and a lot of that comes into recruiting. So I think that's huge for the program and it just shows the direction that we're headed as a program."
