Netherlands New territory
New territory
The Dutch defied almost half of the area of their country in the past 200 years from the rough North Sea, former port cities are now inland. But the newly created land around the diked IJsselmeer has its natural charm.
Eva-Maria Lessinger
Just don't move. I lie completely motionless on pricking blades of grass in a wide green meadow. Everything sticks to my body: the motorcycle trousers, the T-shirt, even the wristwatch. Blazing hot sun everywhere, nowhere cool shade – and that in the Dutch province of Noordholland! How I would now be unfaithful to my Africa Twin, tear off my leather clothes and ride the waves on a waterbike, past the kids playing water polo, the three surfers who are more beside than on their boards and the sailing yachts that are cruising further out. Indeed: The IJsselmeer, this gigantic inland lake in the north-west of the Netherlands, is a hit for water rats, but even as a land rat you don't have to starve. Right on the coastline, I'm heading to another pilgrimage site for small rodents: the cheese town of Edam. There you can get the straw-yellow, creamy "Edammer Kaas" even without the red plastic crust that is customary in our shops. A tinkling mom and pop shop on wheels is already jerking nostalgically on the first Edam drawbridge, while ducks bobbing down in the canal quarrel . Two "meisjes op fietsen" cycle along the proud old patrician houses, and at times truly old men clatter over the bumpy cobblestones as if it were the most natural thing in the world to walk through life in wooden shoes. Not least thanks to this old Dutch picture-book idyll, the heavily frequented water sports area IJsselmeer also brings tourist gold to the dreamy, historically shaped coastal towns. Although the inhabitants had flagged half-mast when this artificially created inland waterway was created, because it was completed exactly 64 years ago, the 30-kilometer-long final dike, the legendary »Afslutdijk«, between the provinces of Noordholland and Friesland, and thus the metamorphosis of the wild Zuiderzee to the tame IJsselmeer completed. With this ambitious large-scale project, the »Kingdom of Below Normal Zero« once again proved the Dutch folk wisdom: »God created the sea and we Dutch created the land.« In the bitter struggle against the storm surges in the North Sea, dykes and dams were built for centuries, water areas with windmills and pumping stations were drained until new polders continued to emerge. The Dutch wrested almost half of their land from the sea themselves in this way. But the port cities of the Zuiderzee Bay were initially traumatized by the completion of the Afslutdijk. Flourishing fishing villages like Marken, Volendam or Urk saw themselves robbed of their home fishing grounds by the decreasing salt content of the resulting inland waters, and the once proud maritime trading towns like Edam, Enkhuizen or Hoorn were finally transformed into provincial inland towns. I nibble on cheese in the old Hoorner harbor Wooden walkway with curved gas lamps. A massive, well-fortified tower, built in 1532 as part of a fortification, towers over the tall, narrow warehouses, which with their representatively decorated stepped gable facades radiate an aura of bygone glory. Tea, cinnamon, pepper, tobacco or precious woods were stored here three hundred years ago, in the l´age d´or of the former world trading city. The rigging of the dark brown, historical windjammers, those with reefed linen sails amid the countless houseboats, cutters and yachts, rattle quietly are anchored in the harbor basin of Hoorn. But they will probably not expire today. In 1616 Willem Schouten, who sailed around the southern tip of Tierra del Fuego and named it "Cape Horn" after his hometown, and a few years later Abel Tasman, who discovered New Zealand and Tasmania together with the devil. A few moments later I drive my sixty horses again on the dike. The winding farm road meanders through the wide green meadows, always along the glittering lake. Washed! The huge lattice wings of the thatched windmill can be heard hissing through the air and almost touching the ground. She stands lonely here on the side of the narrow road to Enkhuizen. Just a cultural monument, and it was the endless windmill chains that helped the Dutch to reclaim land two hundred years ago. Driven by the constant wind power, the water wheels of the mills tirelessly shoveled the excess water into the canals and from there into the rivers. The Rhine, Maas, Waal and Lek then took care of onward transport to the North Sea. However, in the 19th century, steam-powered pumping stations displaced the technology, which was as simple as it was ingenious, and with it the majestic mills. Environmentally friendly and crisis-proof, wind energy is experiencing a renaissance today, but the simple modern wind turbines are unlikely to become the Dutch emblem. Trembling Jan Visser pulls on the thin white thread and erects the masts. Done! Without prejudice, he has piloted the proud five-master into the safe home port – and that under full sail. Put the cork on, close the bottle. Jan Visser is beaming with satisfaction. Whether windjammer, whale schooner, steamboat, fishing cutter or lifeboat – in the »Flessenscheepjes-Museum« in Enkhuizen there are more than 500 bottle ships at anchor. And Jan Visser, owner of the museum and thus the world's largest collection of ships in bottles, knows a story of its own for each of these ships. "Knives, scissors, tweezers and, above all, you need a lot of patience and instinct to maneuver the individual parts gently through the neck of the bottle and inside Gluing the belly together, "explains the passionate collector. He says that shipbuilding in a bottle has its origins on the high seas: when the wind was calm, sailors used to build ships in bottles out of sheer boredom. "They either gave them to their loved ones at home or swapped the bottle for a full one with rum in the next port," adds Jan Visser with a smile. Sailor's yarn? Who knows, damn stiff breeze. Certainly wind force 6 to 7. The big enduro lurches along the A 7. The North Sea rages furiously against the ten-meter-high dam. But it will no longer be so easy for "bare Hans", as the locals call their sea, to storm the land, because the Lely plan has worked. As early as 1667, ideas to contain the Zuiderzee Bay arose. But first the technology was missing, then the political resolve. Flood disasters and famines at the beginning of this century finally led to action. According to the plans of the engineer Cornelius Lely, the dyke grew laboriously meter by meter for five years. But the last piece could only be inserted exactly in the phase of the tide change, when the current stood still for a short time. At noon on May 28, 1932, two minutes past one, it was done: sirens wailed. The dike was closed. At the "Lorentzsluizen" I have to turn abruptly, because the real sailors are clearing for departure into the roaring North Sea. It is not without admiration that I observe a sporty woman who concentrates on the rope that holds her yacht "Allegra Workum" close to the lock wall. "Sailing isn't more difficult than riding a motorcycle," laughs the woman from Cologne up to me, "starboard always has right of way." Well, I don't know … "Warning! You have left Holland. "Such a sign for tourists would be absolutely necessary in Zurich. Because if it is fundamentally wrong to simply call every Dutchman a Dutchman, it is sacrilege in Friesland. No other province in the kingdom cultivates its own cultural identity so much. The Frisians have their own flag, literature, cuisine and, above all, "Frysk", their own language, which can be practiced not only as an official subject in school, but based on it the bilingual place-name signs. The Frisian media, such as newspapers and radio, are of course only recommended for advanced learners, although it is difficult for the Frisians to confess their most famous daughter – Mata Hari. It took a long time before people in the traditional province could officially come to terms with the amorous lifestyle of the beautiful double agent. The famous and revealing dancer was accused of espionage for the German Reich in France during World War I, shortly thereafter sentenced to death and shot. But in 1976 a bronze monument was erected for the Frisian femme fatale in the middle of Leeuwarden. How much a sailing holiday actually has in common with a motorcycle tour, I finally find out in the old fishing village of Makkum, where, even if purely by chance, I have a mineral water there buy where the ships get fresh water: at a "water filling station." "The great thing about a boating holiday is that you see a lot when you travel, call at a different port every evening and meet new people there," Wim Kombrink tells me while he fills his canisters with fresh water. Dito. That's how I do on motorcycle tours. And because travel connects, Wim and his wife spontaneously buy me a coffee on board the lovingly cared for tug »Anco«, built in 1911, a real oldie. While the six-year-old son Michael is romping around the deck with the dog, we start chatting like old acquaintances until the weather forecast on the radio threatens a thunderstorm. Full speed ahead, I successfully escape from the bad weather front to the south, now and then cross one of the Frisian lakes, all connected by rivers and canals, and finally chug through Hindeloopen on the Africa Twin. It's hard to believe that this little village with its small, crooked houses was once a Hanseatic town in 1368. On the way you can see the terpenes so typical for Friesland, those raised mounds of earth that served as refuge fortresses from the oncoming floods of the North Sea over 2000 years ago. If you pull the steering wheel to the right, do you drive to the left and vice versa? Quite uncontrollably, I turn around my own axis in the little blue boat. Maybe I should have put on the rain suit … Not on the wide IJsselmeer, but in the narrow canals of Giethorn, in the middle of the inland, I try out my nautical talent – so far with rather moderate success. Zack! Again I went full throttle on a collision course. But this time, luckily, it only hit the pillar of one of the narrow wooden bridges, which slow down all too rapid boat trips everywhere here. Giethorn is built on islets that are connected by footbridges and bridges. As there are no navigable roads in the village, the locals either sail in Venetian style in flat punt boats, or in small motor boats through the chaos of the canals from one island to the next. Perhaps I would have signed up for Christian seafaring years ago should, in order to learn how to handle ropes and sailing – just like the boys and girls of the Protestant youth group who disembark from the clipper »Zeelandia« after a seven-day sea voyage with sparkling eyes. The German teenagers tell me enthusiastically that they have tried everything from a sailor's knot to setting, painting and surfacing to navigating. "But swimming in the middle of the North Sea was particularly cool!" The sunlight shimmers diffusely through the oppressive haze. Not a breeze stirs. No wave splashes on the shores of the flat, glittering Ketel Sea. Even the swans remain motionless. The whole landscape is frozen. Then the "Art on the Dike": A square, a circle and a triangle made of raw metal soar into the sky. The barren sculptures appear like the ruins of civilization in this fantastic, bizarre atmosphere. Signs of impending doom. But not far away there is a small, indomitable village called Urk with an unrestrained will to survive. When I drift on the waves of the bumpy pavement with my Enduro, I am actually astonished: In Urk the alleys are even narrower and the houses even smaller than in other small towns on the IJsselmeer coast. Everywhere low hunter fences line the front gardens, which in the midst of their splendor of flowers accommodate at least one two-wheeled vehicle, optionally with or without a motor. Before 1942 I would not have reached Urk dry foot, because before the construction of the dike and the creation of the Noordoostpolders was the village a secluded islet. Urk was also an existential threat to the transformation from the Zuiderzee to the IJsselmeer. For more than a thousand years the Urker lived as fishermen, and they wanted to stay fishermen. So they made a pact with the Dutch government and bought new fishing grounds in the North Sea. The result: The port of Urk has the largest fishing fleet in the Netherlands today, and the "Urk fish auction", which takes place twice a week, is one of the largest of its kind in Europe. Off to Flevoland. Like a large island, anchored to the rest of the country with only six connecting routes. is the youngest polder in the IJsselmeer that was finally drained only in the 1970s. Where just a few years ago only wind and waves roared, today there are extensive grain fields and meadows with apple and pear trees between wild flowers.Flevoland is like Legoland – just not as imaginative. The spatial and landscape planners have consistently designed the entire polder on the drawing board at right angles – from the road network to the cities. Clumsy concrete buildings dominate Lelystadt, the urban center of Flevoland, fresh from the cement mixer. I quickly flee via the motorway to say goodbye to the IJsselmeer in Durgerdam, a small street village north of the capital. In the middle of the dike in front of the laced, colorful wooden houses, there is coffee and cake. A few punks at the next table are probably recovering from the Amsterdam scene stress. One last look over the glittering water of the Markermeer. Then the command sounds: "Ready to turn!"
The IJsselmeer, the formerly wild Zuiderzee, with its numerous maritime attractions, from the diverse water sports to the romantic windjammer atmosphere to the idyllic, historically shaped coastal towns, proves that artificially created areas can also have their natural charms. All of this is offered in a landscape that is as fantastic as it is spacious. Recreation seekers, leisure activists and culture enthusiasts get their money's worth.
Arrival: Whether clockwise or counterclockwise – an IJsselmeer tour is always best started from Amsterdam. Coming from the northeast, the A1 is an express route to the capital in the Netherlands, and the A2 coming from the southeast. Travel time: The stiff breeze at the IJsselmeer is of course also refreshing in midsummer, especially when you plunge into the cool water. But autumn storms on the lake also have their charm. Spending the night: You will be well looked after at the Hotel "De Posthoorn" in Hoorn. The double room without bathroom and toilet costs 80 marks. You spend the night on the hotel motor yacht "MS Olympia" in the port of Kampen almost like on a houseboat. A double cabin costs 90 marks. Gastronomy: Anyone who would like to nibble on fresh "Edammer Kaas" shouldn't miss the weekly cheese market in Edam on Wednesdays. The "Markerwaard" restaurant in Enkhuizen offers excellent fish dishes in a cozy maritime atmosphere. Activities: The "Flessenscheepjes Museum" in Enkhuizen, the world's largest collection of ships in bottles, is an absolute must. In the »Zuiderzeemuseum«, a large open-air museum in Enkhuizen, you can find out how people lived and worked on the coast of the wild Zuiderzee a hundred years ago. A trip to the small island fishing village of Marken is also worthwhile, where vehicle traffic is prohibited. In summer there is hardly a place on the IJsselmeer that does not attract events. Old Dutch Market "in Hoorn, which has a different motto every week. · Also with changing themes, big street festivals take place in Kampen in July / August for six weeks on Thursdays. The "Urker fish auction", one of the largest of its kind in Europe, is haggled every Monday and Friday. If you want to take part, you have to register in advance. Telephone 00 31/5 27/68 18 22. Tip: Anyone who would like to try their hand at being a »ordinary seaman« should exchange the motorcycle for a clipper or schooner for one or more days. Organized trips are offered by the »Hanzestad Compagnie«, Ijsselkade 62, Postfach 5, 8260 AA Kampen, Netherlands, Telephone 00 31/38 33 16 05 0, Fax: 0031/38 33 11 57 7 or »De Zeilvaart«, Stationsplein 3, 1601 EN Enkhuizen, Netherlands, Telephone 00 31/22 83 12 42 4, Fax 00 31/22 83 13 73 7. · Literature: A very good overview and a lot of information can be found in »Traveling correctly. Holland «by Helmut Hetzel from DuMont Buchverlag. The book »The Netherlands« from the Goldstadt Travel Guide series, Volume 216, by Waltraud Latja is just as detailed for a trip around the Ijselmeer.

It is lined with linen cloth and red/white checkered cotton. There are two antique pink buttons on the front. Elegant tailoring and decorative pleating on the back.
The skirt is made of black cotton that is slightly faded in the bottom half where it was not covered by the vest. The skirt needs new waist ties or a button at the waist for fastening.

There are buttons on the cuffs for fastening and holes at the collar for lacing a ribbon through and tying into a bow. The chemise is quite long compared to the skirt so you might wish to sew in a horizontal tuck to adjust the length. Alternatively you can pull up the chemise at the waist to create more room and raise the hemline.

A note regarding condition: All of the costumes and textiles that I sell are vintage and have typically seen decades of use resulting in expected wear and tear that add to the history and authenticity of each piece.
In case of above average wear, I try to list any significant damages and heavy signs of use in the above description. Small holes or stains, missing sequins/beads, worn trim, and other marks related to standard wear are common and do not detract from the value of most pieces.

We maintain a deep commitment to collaborating with the various communities we serve. Our dedication to collaboration guarantees that creative work produced is accessible, both physically and conceptually, to the people whose lives it impacts. We intend to bring art into the daily lives of people through a process which enables them to reflect their particular concerns, joys and triumphs.
Precita Eyes Mural Arts Center, established in 1977 and currently located in San Francisco's Mission District, is a multipurpose community based arts organization that has played an integral role in the city's cultural heritage and arts education. One of only three community mural centers in the United States, the organization sponsors and implements ongoing mural projects throughout the Bay Area and internationally. In addition, it has a direct impact on arts education in the San Francisco Mission District by offering four weekly art classes for children and youth (18 months through 19 years) and other classes for adults. These classes and community mural projects enable children and youth to develop their individuality and confidence through creative activities and to experience unifying, positive social interaction through collaboration.
Depending on which of the centers during almost any day of the week, one could find a lot going on. Volunteers helping out with various duties and projects, a group of professional muralists collaborating on a portable mural; an intense planning session for a new monumental mural project; a slide presentation to a group of educators or public school students and that's just our Mural Arts & Visitors Center on 24th Street.
More than 20,000 students and tourists have walked from Precita Eyes as the starting point for the mural tours encompassing more than 80 murals in an eight-block walk. Precita Eyes is alive with purpose and ideas, and it is continually evolving to meet the needs of the individuals, young and old, that pass through its doors.
Though we predominantly serve the Mission District with our murals and programming, we have also collaborated on projects serving Bernal Heights, South of Market, Tenderloin, Bay View, and Outer Mission neighborhoods, as well as international projects in Russia, Germany, Spain, and Brazil. Individuals we serve include residents, muralists, artists, tourists, students, and youth, especially low-income and under-privileged people.
This collaboration reflects the very heart of Precita Eyes' concerns and interest in art and how it interacts with/within the community around it. As a community-based mural organization, we believe that it is our mission to not only enhance the urban environment, but also to reach out to educate the community at large. We seek to do this by bringing art into the everyday lives of neighborhoods and communities in a way which is meaningful to them. We share a deep commitment to making artworks accessible, both physically and conceptually, to viewers from diverse backgrounds who may not be regularly exposed to the arts.

The Hough girls had similar success, finishing second in the I-Meck, behind Lake Norman, and fifth at both the 4A Western Regional and state meets.
In year two of the program, Queen and his swimmers have lofty expectations that include contending for conference, regional and state championships.
"It's tough to have the expectations to be one of the best teams in the state already," said Queen. "But we hope to be right up there with the Providences, the Lake Normans and the North Mecks. But it won't be easy because all of these programs have had years and years of success."
Hough definitely has the numbers to compete, with more than 80 swimmers coming out. The Hough team is so big, Queen has broken it down into 'A' and 'B' squads for the meets.
The Hough boys' squad has the biggest expectations and talent, with All-American senior Peter Brumm leading the charge.
Brumm, who had Olympic trial qualifying times in the 200-yard freestyle, is one of the best swimmers in the state and proved it at states and regionals last year. Brumm, who has committed to Michigan, will also be big in the 100-yard butterfly, the event he won at the regional and state championship last season.
Brumm won't have to do it alone, as junior John Manchester also is a standout in several events including the 500-yard freestyle with juniors Andrew Botellho and Andrew Petry as well as freshman Jeffrey Manchester, John's younger brother, expected to be big contributors.
Sophomore diver Harrison Mitchell, who finished third in the state as a freshman, should also be a big key.
"Obviously, with Peter leading the way, we have a great shot at being a factor in all of our meets," said Queen. "But it will be a knock-down, drag-out fight with Lake Norman in our own conference. That should get us ready for the postseason."
The Hough girls also look to improve on an impressive debut, with several swimmers who have already proven themselves.
Senior captain Payton Schrum, who hopes to swim at N.C. State next year, will lead the way with her versatility, which allows her to swim freestyle, breast stroke or butterfly in a given meet. Schrum will get plenty of support from junior Ali Kitchens and sophomore Heather Merritt.
Merritt won the I-Meck title in the 200 IM last year.
Hough also has two newcomers expected to make an impact, West Virginia transfer Ally Dupay and freshman middle-distance freestyle and backstroker Emily Allen.
After a great inaugural season in the pool, the goals and expectations are sky high. But Queen is not looking too far ahead.
If Queen's track record is any indication, the Hough swimming teams could be adding some hardware to their trophy cases.

Worcester Trade School - Some verry pretty places.
This postcard features the first-built section of the Worcester Boys Trade School, completed in 1910 and, with assistance from students attending the school, greatly expanded in 1916-1917. The building at that time fronted on Grove Street and faced Armory Square, so named because of the Worcester National Guard Armory located diagonally across the square. Milton Higgins, a noted Worcester industrialist, was instrumental in establishing the school, acting as an early advocate, donor, and fundraiser.
As seen above, the original structure (far left) was incorporated into the new building, which is much grander in scale and more elegant in design. The architects of the expansion also took care to symmetrically match the extension on the right to achieve visual balance. After a new co-ed Technical High School was finished in 2006, this entire suite of buildings was renovated into apartments and is now known as the Voke Lofts.
The sender and recipient of this card were born 22 years apart in different states and lived 300 miles away from each other. Were they simply engaging in a regular exchange of cards, which was a bit of a rage in the early 1900's, or was there something more? It is tempting to read a certain sentiment into Rose's comments, ("Good night and answer soon") but it seems unlikely that tender thoughts would have been shared with a much younger married man in something as public as a postcard sent to his home.
In the 1900 federal census, Rose L. Ross, is listed as married and head of household, living at the time with her two children and her mother, Elizabeth Smith. Notably, however, her husband does not appear on that record. We also learn that she worked as a "Laundress" and was born in Rhode Island in 1866. Oddly, she is not recorded on the 1910 census, even though she apparently lived at the same address on Madison Street from at least 1900 through 1912.
Leroy E. Stalker was born in 1888 and, according to the federal census records for both 1910 and 1920, was living in Union, New York. He worked at a shoe factory throughout this period, including time spent as a "Fiber Worker" and "Carton Cutter." Married when this card was sent, he had only recently left his parent's house to live independently with his wife. He died in March 1974 at the age of 86 and is buried at the Riverside Cemetery in Endicott, New York.

Have you ever wondered what mental health activist Dorothea Dix, U.S. Vice President (1861-1865), Hannibal Hamlin, world renowned author Stephen King, Major League baseball player Mike Bordick, and NASCAR driver Ricky Craven have in common? The fact is all of these noted people have strong ties to Hampden, Maine. While some were born and raised in the area, and others came to live and work in the town later in life, they all spent time living in and enjoying the many wonderful aspects of the town, including its historic high school, Hampden Academy. Since the 1990s drivers on Route 1A entering Hampden have been welcomed by signs depicting Dorothea Dix and Hannibal Hamlin. However, long before these famous Mainers came to Hampden, the first settlers were laying the groundwork and helping create what would one day become a very desirable place to live and work.
Hampden Highlands Post Office, ca. 1908
Hampden has been described as "perhaps, the most famous of the old towns of the county—famous by reason of its antiquity, its favorable situation upon the Penobscot, and the stirring events which occurred within it during the last war with Great Britain." (History of Penobscot County Maine with illustrations and biographical sketches 1882) The Penobscot River forms the east border of the town for just over six miles. The Sowadabscook Stream is the outlet for three ponds and its rushing water allowed for much needed water power early in the settlement of the town. This wealth of available water was very attractive to early settlers on Massachusetts' frontier. Long before the settlement of Hampden, the native people named places for characteristics that they observed in their natural surroundings. The historian Fannie Hardy Eckstorm wrote that Native Americans named the Souadabscook Stream, which in their language meant "sloping ledge stream." (Eckstorm 1941)

UK workers are largely optimistic about the impact automation will have in the workplace, with three in four believing it will give them more time to concentrate on their primary job duties and work more flexibly, claims new research. Workfront's annual State of Enterprise Work report, which aims to capture not only how work is being done and what challenges office workers see in the present, but also how they see current workplace trends playing out in the near future reveals that 84 percent agreed with the sentiment that "the use of automation in the workplace will let us think of work in new and innovative ways." 82 percent expressed excitement at the chance "to learn new things as the workforce moves toward more automation;" and while the overwhelming view on automation was positive, around 2 in 5 (38 percent) feared that rising automation will place humans and robots in competition for the same jobs in the future.
Alex Shootman, President and CEO of Workfront commented: "Popular culture may depict automation in dystopian terms, but the reality is that the majority of workers are optimistic about automation because they understand how it helps them focus on high-value tasks at work.
Flexibility is on the rise More and more companies are seeing the benefits of allowing their team members to work outside the office and outside standard business hours. Four in five office workers now have the ability to use flexitime. 63 percent also believe the traditional office hours will cease to exist in the future.
Emails are still a pain The percentage of workers blaming excessive emails for getting in the way of their work rose from 52 percent last year to 61 percent this year with UK workers having an average of 134 unopened emails in their inboxes at any given time.
No thinking outside the box. 48 percent of UK workers find the term 'think outside the box' to be the most overused office buzzword. In a distant second was 'Let's cross that bridge when we come to it' at 21 percent.

Q: How to show and scale YouTube media in WebBrowser control? I want to use the WebBrowser control to play a YouTube video from a link. When I add the link to the WebBrowser control by:
webBrowser1.NavigateToString("http://www.youtube.com/embed/BppxvEwWffE");

then WebBrowser will show the link as text but I want the YouTube video scaled to width and height of WebBrowser and a button "Play video" vertically centered in the control. How could I achieve this?

A: Your situation summarized:

*

*WP7 has no Flash, but HTML5 video

*YouTube in theory can do HTML5 video, but it's still in test mode and not activated by default for all users

*NavigateToString has possible security implications for your users: "Content loaded from isolated storage or dynamically by using NavigateToString has no cross-site restrictions, while content loaded from the network has normal cross-site restrictions."

So while waiting for YouTube to go fully HTML5 you could just send your users to the normal YouTube video page (for example by webBrowser1.Navigate(new Uri("http://youtu.be/BppxvEwWffE"));). They can then tap the video and the native video player of WP7 opens full screen and plays the video.

\section{Introduction}
The interesting project of the generalized nonlinear
quantum mechanics of Weinberg \cite{W1} was
subjected to the critical analysis \cite{Gis} in
the framework of probabilistic interpretation with respect to a possibility of the ``faster-than-light communication''
in nonlinear quantum dynamics. But now it has beeb shown \cite{Gold} that a specific nonlinear scheme may be successfull in spite of this general criticism.

The general inspiration for my approach to the nonlinear
version of quantum theory is as followes:
Laws of non-relativistic classical physics are indifferent
to {\it any type of forces}. But development of the theory of such {\it natural type of force} as electromagnetic demands the relativistic generalization of Newton's mechanics. A new kind of spacetime symmtry arises.
Ordinary quantum mechanics is indifferent to the choice
of a potential, say in Schr\"odinger equation, as well.
However in physics of elementary particles where
{\it a natural type of sub-atomic forces act},  we can
not be sure that equations and symmetry of the ordinary quantum theory may be concerved. In particular, ordinary quantum theory points out that general relativity (GR) is
negligible for spatial distances up to the Planck scale $l_P=(\hbar G/c^3)^{1/2} \sim 10^{-33} cm$. But
consistency in the foundations of the quantum theory requires a``soft'' spacetime structure of the GR at essentially longer length. However, for some reasons
this appears to
be not enough. A new framework (``superrelativity'')
for the desirable generalization of the foundation of quantum theory has been proposed
\cite{Le1,Le2,Le3,Le4,Le5}.

The equivalence principle of Einstein is based on the
experimental fact that acceleration of bodies in the
gravitation field is independent on masses of these
bodies \cite{Ein}. This situation is physically
equivalent
to the motion of the system of bodies in accelerated
frame. We can not, of course, put the {\it criterion of
identical acceleration} in the basis of geometrization
of quantum physical fields.  In quantum field theory the
notion of ``acceleration'' is poor at best and ambiguous
at worst because quantum particles have an internal
structure. Furthermore, at a deeper level there is
{\it entanglement  and even indistinguishability of
``internal'' and ``external'' degrees of freedom}.
Therefore in quantum regime we can not act
{\it literally} as Einstein in GR but only in his
{\it spirit} \cite{Le1,Le2,Le3,Le4,Le5}.

The notions of {\it material point, event, and classical
spacetime} in both special relativity (SR) and GR are
liable to lead to confusion at the quantum level.
Insead of these objects we use a set of
new primordial elements. Namely, they are {\it pure
quantum state, quantum transition, and quantum state
space}, respectively.  These main elements provide
a basis for a generalization of the equivalence principle
in quantum area. The principle of superrelativity
states as follows:
{\bf The general unitary motion of pure
quantum states may be locally reduced to the geodesic
motion in the projective Hilbert space by the
introduction of a gauge (compensation) field which
arises from the local change of a functional frame in
the original Hilbert state space}.

We have put at the basis of our theory the fact that
in {\it all interactions of quantum (``elementary'')
particles  there is a conservation law of the
electric charge}. Then unitary group SU(N+1) takes
the place of {\it dynamical
group} because in the general case $g|\Psi> \neq |\Psi>$
and, of course, $g^{-1}Hg \neq H$ \cite{Feng}.
There is the group of isotropy $H=U(1)_{el} \times U(N)$
of a fixed pure quantum state $e^{i\gamma}|\Psi>$.
That is transformations which effectively act on this ray lie in the coset $G/H=SU(N+1)/S[U(1)\times U(N)]$.
It is clear that deformations of the pure
quantum state are due to some physical interaction;
the effect of the interaction has the geometric
structure of a coset \cite{Le1}, i.e. the structure of
the CP(N): $G/H=SU(N+1)/S[U(1)_{el} \times U(N)]=CP(N)$ \cite{KN}. This paves the way to the invariant
study of the spontaneously broken unitary symmetry.
This statement has a general character and does not
depend on particular properties of the pure quantum
state. The reason  for the change of motion of material
point is an existence of a force. The reason for the
change of a pure quantum state is an interaction which
may be modeled by unitary transformations from the coset
G/H. The reaction of a material point is an acceleration. The reaction of a pure quantum state is its deformation
whose geometry should be discussed now
\cite{Le1,Le2,Le5}.

\section{Break-down of the projective symmetry}
Unitary symmetry in quantum mechanics is
expanded to the projective symmetry due to arbitrary normalization of state vector \cite{Feng}.
But some interactions, gravity, for example, ban this
degree of freedom and restore (with a reconstruction)
the unitary symmetry. Furthermore, the global unitary
summetry is broken down to the isotropy subgroup
whose elements leave of some fixed ray of state
$e^{i\gamma}|\Psi>$ intact. In order to uderstand
a new type of symmetry arising here,
we will discuss the infinitesimal
interval in Hilbert space $\cal H\rm=C(N+1)$ which
related to some linear Hermitian traceless operator
$\hat{D} \in AlgSU(N+1)$. This operator creates some interval
$d_{\hat{D}}l^2=d\Psi_a^* d\Psi^a=<d\Psi|d\Psi>=$
$<\Psi|\hat{D}^+ \hat{D}|\Psi>d\epsilon^2$,
where $\epsilon$ is real-number group parameter,
and $\Psi^a$ are Fourier components of a decomposition
of a state vector in some orthogonal basis
$|\Psi>=\sum_{a=0}^N \Psi^a|a>$ where
$\sum_{a=0}^N |\Psi^a|^2=R^2$.
Now one can reduce the quadric to the
principle axes by ansatz of ``squeezing'' full state
covector to the vacuum form as in \cite{Le4}
\begin{equation}
<\Psi_0|=R(\Psi) e^{i\omega(\Psi)}(1,0,...,0).
\label{vac}
\end{equation}
That is $|\Psi_0>=\hat{G}^{-1}|\Psi>$, where
$\hat{G}=\hat{G}_1 \hat{G}_2...\hat{G}_N$ are matrices
which described in \cite{Le4}.  Since in the process
of a ``squeezing'' gauge transformations from isotropy
group should be
accompanied by transformations from the coset $SU(N+1)/S[U(1)\times U(N)]$, in contrast to the
gauge transformations of Ref. \cite{Gold} one has
an {\it observable deformation of the quantum state}.
The gauge field is a physical evidence of this
deformation due to the non-trivial topology of CP(N).
Then one has
\begin{equation}
d_{\hat{D}}l^2=<\Psi_0|\hat{D'}(\Psi)^+ \hat{D'}(\Psi)|\Psi_0>=
R^2(|D'_{00}(\Psi)|^2+\sum_{i=1}^N |D'_{0i}(\Psi)|^2)d\theta^2.
\label{quad}
\end{equation}
The first term is interval along
the subalgebra of the isotropy group of the vector
$|\Psi_0>$ and the second one is interval in the tangent space to the coset itself. One-parameter tranformation
from the coset is a geodesic flow.  For the covector (\ref{vac}) the geodesic flow is generated by the
operator
\begin{eqnarray}
\hat{B}= \left(
\matrix{
0&f^{1*}&f^{2*}&.&.&.&f^{N-1*} \cr
f^1&0&0&.&.&.&0 \cr
f^2&0&0&.&.&.&0 \cr
.&.&.&. &.&.&. \cr
.&.&.&. &.&.&. \cr
.&.&.&. &.&.&. \cr
f^{N-1}&0&0&.&.&.&0
}
\right ),
\label{B}
\end{eqnarray}
where $f^i=D'_{0i}(\Psi)$.
The flow is given by the unitary matrix
$\hat{T}(\tau,g)=\exp(i\tau\hat{B})$
where $g=\sqrt{\sum_{k=1}^{N}|f^k|^2},\Theta=g\tau$
\cite{Le1}.
Note, elements of tangent space to the coset will be functions of state vector  during the process of the ``squeezing'' . In that sense local (in functional space) dynamical variables arise. But invariant properties of
the interval should be independent from a particular
choice of the dynamical variable $\hat{D}$. The infinitezimal interval $\delta L^2$ in local projective coordinates may exemplify this independece.
The generalized stereographic projection from the center
of the sphere $\sum_{a=0}^N |\Psi^a|^2=R^2$ onto the
complex hyperplane $\Pi$ give us relationships between
coordinates of a point of the sphere in the original
Hilbert space $\Psi^0,...,\Psi^a,...,\Psi^N$ and
coordinates
$\Pi^1,...,\Pi^i,...,\Pi^N$
of its projection onto the hyperplane
\begin{equation}
\Psi^0=\lambda(R,\Pi)R,\quad \Psi^1=\lambda(R,\Pi)\Pi^1,
\Psi^2=\lambda(R,\Pi)\Pi^2,...,\Psi^N=\lambda(R,\Pi) \Pi^N
\label{psi}
\end{equation}
Then one has mapping $f:C(N+1) \to CP(N)$
for ($1 \leq i \leq N$)
\begin{equation}
\Pi^1=R\Psi^1 / \Psi^0,
\Pi^2=R\Psi^2 / \Psi^0,...,
\Pi^i=R\Psi^i / \Psi^0,...,
\Pi^N=R\Psi^N / \Psi^0
\label{pi}
\end{equation}
and
$\lambda^2 (\sum_{i=1}^N |\Pi^i|^2+R^2)=R^2$.
The ``squeezing factor'' $\lambda(R,\Pi)$ one can
express from this equation
\begin{equation}
\lambda(R,\Pi)=R (\sum_{s=1}^N |\Pi^s|^2+R^2)^{-1/2}.
\label{lambda}
\end{equation}
Hereafter we will use only finite value of indexes
$0 \leq a,b,...,d \leq N$ and $1 \leq i,k,...,s \leq N $,
remembering that in typical cases the limit
$N \to \infty $ may be studied.
Now we can express homogeneous coordinates $\Psi$ in
local coordinates $\Pi$:
\begin{equation}
\Psi^0=R^2 (\sum_{s=1}^N |\Pi^s|^2+R^2)^{-1/2},...,
\quad
\Psi^i=\Pi^i R (\sum_{s=1}^N |\Pi^s|^2+R^2)^{-1/2}.
\label{psi1}
\end{equation}
It is easy to evaluate ($a=0$)
\begin{equation}
\frac{\partial \Psi^0}{\partial \Pi^i}=-\frac{1}{2}
R^2 \Pi^{*i} \left(\sqrt{\sum_{s=1}^N |\Pi^s|^2+R^2}\right)^{-3}, c.c.
\label{grad}
\end{equation}
and for other components ($a \geq 1$) one has
\begin{eqnarray}
\frac{\partial \Psi^a}{\partial \Pi^i}     & = &
R\left(\delta^a_i(\sum_{s=1}^N |\Pi^s|^2+R^2)^{-1/2}-
\frac{1}{2} \Pi^a \Pi^{*i}
(\sum_{s=1}^N |\Pi^s|^2+R^2)^{-3/2}\right),
c.c.
\label{partial}
\end{eqnarray}
Therefore one can express infinitezimal invariant interval
in the original Hilbert space as followes
\begin{equation}
\delta L^2= \delta_{ab}\delta \Psi^a \delta \Psi^{*b}= G_{ik*}\delta \Pi^i \delta \Pi^{*k}=\sum_a \frac{\partial \Psi^a}{\partial \Pi^i}
\frac{\partial \Psi^{*a}}{\partial \Pi^{*k}}
\delta \Pi^i \delta \Pi^{*k}.
\label{interval}
\end{equation}
That is the generalized metric tensor of the original flat
Hilbert space in the local coordinates $\Pi$ is
\begin{equation}
G_{ik*}=\sum_{a=0}^N \frac{\partial \Psi^a}{\partial \Pi^i}
\frac{\partial \Psi^{*a}}{\partial \Pi^{*k}}=
R^2 \frac{(\sum_{s=1}^N |\Pi^s|^2+R^2)\delta_{ik}-
\frac{3}{4}\Pi^{*i}\Pi^k}{(\sum_{s=1}^N |\Pi^s|^2+R^2)^2}.
\label{metric}
\end{equation}
For small $\Pi^i$, i.e. under small deformations of the
initial state $|\Psi_0>$ in a physical experiment
the full invariant interval
$\delta L^2$ in original Hilbert space is  numerically
very close to the interval
\begin{equation}
dl^2=R^2\frac{(\sum_{s=1}^N |\Pi^s|^2+R^2)\delta_{ik}-
\Pi^{*i}\Pi^k}{(\sum_{s=1}^N |\Pi^s|^2+R^2)^2}
\delta \Pi^i \delta \Pi^{*k}
\label{distance}
\end{equation}
in the projective Hilbert space CP(N). Notwithstanding
I think that it is possible to find a trace of the
non-zero sectional curvature of CP(N) in optic
experiments for the measuring of Aharonov-Anandan
phase for light rays with different parameters.
It will be discussed elsewhere.

The complexified Poisson bracket of the Fourier
components in the Hilbert space relative to
the local coordinates $(\Pi,\Pi^*)$
\begin{equation}
\{\Psi^a,\Psi^b\}=\frac{\partial \Psi^a}{\partial \Pi^i}\frac{\partial \Psi^{*b}}{\partial \Pi^{*i}}-\frac{\partial \Psi^{*a}}{\partial \Pi^{*i}}\frac{\partial \Psi^{b}}{\partial \Pi^{i}}
\label{poisson}
\end{equation}
creates the simplectic structure. For $a,b \geq 1$ one has:
\begin{equation}
\{\Psi^i,\Psi^k\}=
\frac{R^2}{(\sum_{s=1}^N |\Pi^s|^2+R^2)^2}
\left[1-\frac{1}{4}\frac{\sum_{s=1}^N |\Pi^s|^2}{\sum_{s=1}^N |\Pi^s|^2+R^2}\right]
(\Pi^{*i}\Pi^k-\Pi^{*k}\Pi^i).
\label{bracket}
\end{equation}
Here we assumed that R has physical meaning and may be observable. This situation should be realized presumably
in quantum field theory and theory of elementary
particles where gravity should be taken into account and
the superposition principle does not act \cite{Le1,Le2,Le3,Le4,Le5}.
Then the projective symmetry is broken. The unitary symmetry is local and hidden. {\bf In this case naturaly think that $\Psi^a$ describe not amplitudes of probability in some ensemble, but they should be Fourier amplitudes of the single scalar field carrier of energy-momentum and charge degrees of freedom}.

Therefore it would be incorrect to interpret
{\it literally} the formal existence of the generalized
Hamilton structure as an evidence of spacetime motion.
The second quantization scheem should be
changed as well (it will be discussed soon). The
question is: what is the relationships between this
``hidden dynamics'' in CP(N) and dynamics in ordinary spacetime?
It may be shown that the natural connection in CP(N)
\begin{equation}
\Gamma^i_{kl} = -2 (\delta^i_k \Pi^{l*} + \delta^i_l \Pi^{k*})(R^2 + \sum_s^{N} |\Pi^s|^2)^{-1}
\label{connection}
\end{equation}
which is corresponds to the Fubini-Study metric (\ref{metric})
plays an important role in gauge transformations of
the functional frame. Namely, we will show that {\bf the connection (\ref{connection}) determines
the natural intrinsic gauge potential of a local frame rotation in a tangent space of CP(N) and, therefore, modification of field dynamical variables. Relationships between the Goldsone and Higgs modes arise in an
absolutely natural way} (see Fig.\ref{fig.1}).

CP(1). The value of $1/R+\Gamma^i_{kl}$ is shown.
Radial directions are related to the Goldstone modes of ``deformations'' of quantum state. Angular rotations represent the Higgs modes of the gauge transformations
in every point of a geodesic. All geodesics are subjected
to a ``rigid rotation'' under the action of the isotropy
group.}

Below we shall discuss a simple model of a ``wrapping'' of this underlying structure into the gauge (compensation) field in the reference Minkowski spacetime.

\section{Generalized nonlinear Klein-Gordon equation}
{\it The key idea is associated with a model
for a single quantum particle as an extended field
dynamical system. We will to interpret internal local coordinates (\ref{pi}) as relative Fourier componets
of some wave packet in reference Minkowski spacetime. Therefore the ``Hamilton pre-system'' in CP(N) is ``wrapped'' in the shell of a gauge field in ordinary spacetime and one has, hence, a non-local extended
dynamical field configuration}.
It should play the role of a model
of non-local quantum particles in the framework of the causal approach to quantum theory \cite{Le1,Le2}.
For the global `shaping'' of this configuration,
the Klein-Gordon field configuration with ``Poincar\'e-radial'' Lagrangian for non-linear interaction has been chosen. This Lagrangian depends only on the ``radial'' variable $\rho$ , i.e.
$\Phi = \Phi (\rho)$, where $\rho^2 =  x_\mu x^\mu$ and $x^\mu$
Since
$\Phi_{,\mu} = \frac{\partial \Phi}{ \partial x^ \mu}=
\frac {x_ \mu}{\rho} \frac{d \Phi}{d \rho}$ and
$\Phi^{,\mu} = \frac {\partial \Phi}{ \partial x_ \mu}=
\frac {x^ \mu}{\rho} \frac{d \Phi}{d \rho} $, a Lagrangian density may be written as
\begin{equation}
\cal L\rm=\frac{1}{2} \Phi^*_\mu \Phi^\mu - U(\Phi(\rho)) =
\frac{1}{2} \left|\frac{d\Phi}{d\rho} \right|^2 -  U(\Phi(\rho)),
\label{lagr}
\end{equation}
where we have assumed a general form for the effective self-interaction
term $U(\Phi(\rho))$. The equation of motion of the scalar field
acquires the form of the ordinary differential (nonlinear in general)  equation
\begin{equation}
\frac{d^2 \Phi^*}{d \rho^2} + (3/\rho) \frac{ d \Phi^*}{d \rho} +
2\frac{\partial U(\Phi(\rho))}{\partial \Phi} =0.
\label{eqgen}
\end{equation}
This equation has been
used in the problem of vacuum decay (see (\cite{W2})
and references therein). If the potential $U(\Phi(\rho))$ has the form
$U(\Phi(\rho))=
\frac{1}{2}(mc/\hbar)^2\Phi^* \Phi =\frac{1}{2}\alpha^2 |\Phi|^2$,
then (\ref{eqgen}) is the linear Lommel equation
\begin{equation}
\frac{d^2 \Phi^*}{d \rho^2} + (3/\rho) \frac{ d \Phi^*}{d \rho} + \alpha^2 \Phi^* = 0,
\label{lommel}
\end{equation}
for which a solution is expressed in the Bessel function
$\Phi = \rho^{-1} J_{-1} (\alpha \rho)$.
{\bf However  a ``deformation'' of  these solutions into solutions of some effectively nonlinear Klein-Gordon equation by the geodesic flow is interesting
for our purpose}. If we choose the the classical radius of the electron $r_0=\frac{e^2}{mc^2}$
as the unit of distance scale $\rho = x r_0$,
then $(mc/\hbar)^2$ in (\ref{lommel}) becomes the fine structure constant
$\alpha = \frac{e^2}{\hbar c}$.  Let's suppose $y=(\rho/r_0)^2$.
One can represent a solution of (\ref{lommel}) in the
$y$-variable as a Fourier series
\begin{equation}
|\Phi> = x^{-1} J_{-1} (\alpha x)=
 \sum_{k=0}^{\infty} \Phi^k |k,y>,
\label{solution}
\end{equation}
where
\begin{equation}
\Phi^m=\frac{-1}{2^m m! \sqrt\pi}\int_{-\infty}^{\infty}
dy \exp(-\frac{y^2}{2}) H_m(y)y^{-1/2} J_1(\alpha y^{1/2})
\label{fourier}
\end{equation}
and
$|n,y>=(2^n n! \sqrt\pi)^{-1/2}\exp(-y^2 /2)
H_n(y)$
is complete set of orthogonal Hermitian functions
on the interval $(-\infty,\infty)$.
Our geodesic flow acts on these Fourier components. It is convenient to transform the state covector (\ref{fourier})
to the ``vacuum'' form (\ref{vac})
by the set of matrices $\hat{G}$ as followes \cite{Le4}.
In order to find the elements $f^i$ of
the generator of the geodesic flow for deformation of
the vacuum state toward the solution (\ref{solution})
one should note that if result of the periodic geodesic ``deformation'' of the  initial solution of
\begin{equation}
|\Psi (\tau,g,y)> = \sum^{\infty}_{m,n=0} |n,y> \Phi^m [\hat{G} \hat{T}(\tau,g)
\hat{G}^{-1}]^n_m
\label{droplet}
\end{equation}
is not so far from (\ref{vac}), then one can span them
by an unique geodesic
$(1,0,...,0)\hat{T}(\tau,g)=R^{-1}(\Phi^0,\Phi^1,...,\Phi^N)$.
It may be shown that $cos\Theta=|\Phi^0|/R$,
$|f^i|=g|\Phi^i|(R^2-|\Phi^0|^2)^{-1/2}$ and
$\arg f^i=\arg \Phi^i$ (up to the general phase). Thus
``rate'' and direction of the transformation of the
vacuum vector into the solution of the Lommel equation is
determined by the matrix
$\hat{P}=\hat{G}^{-1}(\Phi)\hat{B}(\Phi)\hat{G}(\Phi)$.

In order to establish relationships  between ``internal'' parameters in $CP(\infty)$ and a propagation of the
scalar field near the light cone in the
``reference spacetime'', we should ``lift'' a geodesic deformation of the initial Fourier components into the
fiber bundle. Namely, if we assume that {\it in accordance with the ``superequivalence principle'' an infinitesimal geodesic ``shift'' of field dynamical variables could be compensated by an infinitesimal transformations of the
basis in Hilbert space, then one can get some effective self-interaction potential as an addition to the mass
term in original Klein-Gordon equation in the Lommel's
form} (\ref{lommel}).
We will label hereafter vectors of the Hilbert space by Dirac's notations
$|...>$ and tangent vectors to CP(N) or  $CP(\infty)$
(field dynamical variables) by
arrows over letters, $\vec \xi \in T_{\Pi}CP(\infty)$, for example. Then one has a definition
of the rate of a state vector  changing
$|v(x)>=-(i/\hbar)\hat{P}|\Psi (x)>$.
The ``descent'' of the vector field $|v(x)>$ onto the base manifold
$CP(\infty)$ is a mapping by the two formulas:
$f:\cal H \rm \to CP(\infty)$, i.e. like (\ref{pi})
$f:(\Psi^0,..., \Psi^a,...)=(R\frac{\Psi^1}{\Psi^0},..., R\frac{\Psi^i}{\Psi^0},...)=(\Pi^1,...,\Pi^i,...)$
and
\begin{eqnarray}
\vec \xi=f_{*(\Psi^0,..., \Psi^m,...)} |v(x)>
=\frac{d}{d \tau}(R \frac{\Psi^1}{\Psi^0},..., R \frac{\Psi^i}{\Psi^0},...)\Bigl|_0 \cr
=-(i/\hbar)[P^1_0+(P^1_k-P^0_k \Pi^1)\Pi^k,..., P^i_0+(P^i_k-P^0_k \Pi^i)\Pi^k,...].
\label{map2}
\end{eqnarray}
This operator determines a field dynamicl variable
$\vec \xi$ (\ref{map2}). At a point
$\Pi+\delta \Pi$ in $CP(\infty)$ the ``shifted'' field
$\vec \xi+ \delta \vec \xi$
$=\vec \xi+\frac{\delta \vec \xi}{\delta l} \delta l$
contains the derivative $\frac{\delta \vec \xi}{\delta l}$, which is not, in the
general case, a tangent vector to $CP(\infty)$, but the
{\it covariant derivative}
$\frac{\Delta \xi^i}{\delta l}$
$=\frac{\delta \xi^i}{\delta l}+\Gamma^i_{km}
\xi^k \frac{\delta \Pi^m}{\delta l}$
is a tangent vector to $CP(\infty)$. Now we should ``lift'' the new tangent
vector $\xi^i + \Delta \xi^i$ into the original Hilbert space $\cal H \rm$,
that is, one needs to realize two inverse mappings:
$f^{-1}:CP(\infty) \to \cal H \rm $
\begin{eqnarray}
f^{-1}(\Pi^1+\Delta \Pi^1,...,\Pi^i + \Delta \Pi^i,...)
=[\Psi^0,\Psi^1+\Psi^0 \Delta \Pi^1,...,\Psi^i+\Psi^0
\Delta \Pi^i,...]
\label{map-1}
\end{eqnarray}
and then
\begin{eqnarray}
f^{-1}_{* \Pi+\delta \Pi}(\vec \xi + \Delta \vec \xi)
=[v^0, v^1+ \frac{d}{d\tau}(\Psi^0 \Delta \Pi^1)
\Big|_0,...,  v^i+\frac{d}{d\tau}(\Psi^0
\Delta \Pi^i)\Big|_0,...].
\label{map-2}
\end{eqnarray}
It may be shown in our original Hilbert space $\cal H \rm$
that the term $|dv>$ arises as an additional rate of a change of some general state vector $|\Psi>$
\begin{eqnarray}
|dv>=-\frac{i}{\hbar}d\hat{P}|\Psi>
= [0, \frac{d}{d\tau}(\Psi^0 \Delta \Pi^1)\Bigl|_0|1,x>,...,\frac{d}{d\tau}(\Psi^0 \Delta \Pi^i)\Bigl|_0|i,x>,...],
\label{dv}
\end{eqnarray}
where $\Delta \Pi^i=-\Gamma^i_{km}\xi^k d\Pi^m \tau$.
Then $\Delta U=\frac{\delta U}{\delta \Pi^i}d \Pi^i
+\frac{\delta U}{\delta \Pi^{*i}}d \Pi^{*i}$
where $\frac{\delta U}{\delta \Pi^m}=-\hbar \Gamma^i_{km}\xi^k |i,y>$ may be  treated as an ``instantaneous''
self-interacting potential of the scalar configuration associated with
the infinitesimal gauge transformation of the local frame
with coefficients (\ref{connection}).
That is the state vector (\ref{map-1}) inherits the geomeric structure
of the $CP(\infty)$ and perturbed Lagrangian is as follows:
\begin{eqnarray}
\cal L'\rm=\cal L\rm(\Psi+\Delta \Psi)=(\Psi+\Delta \Psi)^{m*}\frac{\partial <m,y|}{\partial t}
\frac{\partial |n,y>}{\partial t}(\Psi+\Delta \Psi)^{n}\cr
-(\Psi+\Delta \Psi)^{m*}\nabla <m,y|\nabla |n,y>(\Psi+\Delta \Psi)^n \cr
-\alpha^2 (\Psi+\Delta \Psi)^{m*}<m,y|n,y>(\Psi+\Delta \Psi)^n,
\label{newlagr}
\end{eqnarray}
where $\Delta \Psi^i=- \Psi^0 \Gamma^i_{km}\xi^k d\Pi^m \tau$ \cite{Le1}.
Note, spacetime derivatives  of the basis Hermitian functions
$\nabla|n,y>$, $\frac{\partial |n,y>}{\partial t}$
only arise in the formula for Lagrangian density. On the
other hand, only Fourier components (\ref{fourier})  are subjected to the variation by the geodesic flow.
Equation of motion of the self-interacting field configuration-droplet may be obtained from variation
of the Lagrangian relative to the variation of
$|\Psi>$. One then has a generalized Klein-Gordon
equation
\begin{eqnarray}
\Box \Psi^*+ \Box A^* +\Psi^*_{\mu \mu}\frac{\delta A_{\mu}}
{\delta \Psi_{\mu}}+\Psi^*_{\mu}\frac{\delta A_{\mu \mu}}
{\delta \Psi_{\mu}} +\alpha^2(\Psi^*+\Delta\Psi^*+
\Psi^*\frac{\delta\Delta\Psi}{\delta \Psi})=0, c.c.,
\label{nlkg}
\end{eqnarray}
where $A_{\mu}=\frac{\partial \Delta \Psi}
{\partial x^{\mu}}$,$A_{\mu \mu}=\frac{\partial \Delta \Psi}
{\partial x^{\mu} \partial x^{\mu}}$, $\Psi_{\mu}=\frac{\partial \Psi}
{\partial x^{\mu}}$,$\Psi_{\mu \mu}=\frac{\partial \Psi}
{\partial x^{\mu} \partial x^{\mu}}$, and
for enough small $\tau$
\begin{equation}
\Delta \Psi^i=- g\Psi^0\tau^2
(1+\frac{|\Psi^0|^2}{R^2})^{-1/2}\Gamma^i_{km}\xi^k \Psi^m.
\label{delta}
\end{equation}
If the radius $R$ of the sectional curvature $1/R^2$ of the projective Hilbert space goes to infinity, one obtains the ordinary Klein-Gordon equation.
We can hope that non-trivial metric and topology of the projective Hilbert space endows global solutions of non-linear wave equation with interesting physical properties.
In the general case the curvature of the
projective state space influences the wave dispersion
of a nonliner solution of the equation. It may be
treated as a base of the experimental testing of a
quantum nonlinearity. This topic will be investigated
in the near futures.

We recommend running all the feeds at once and turning the volume on for just one feed you like, while muting the rest!
Innovating within the bounds of horror's familiar tropes and rules is a difficult task, but one that The Evil Within 2 handles with grace. Developer Tango Gameworks cleverly introduces old-school horror design within the confines of a semi-open world that ultimately makes for a refreshing trip into a world of nightmares.
Picking up several years after the first game, we find the former detective Sebastian Castellanos in dire straits, still wracked with guilt over the loss of his family and haunted by his last visit into a nightmare version of reality. When a shadowy organization gives him the chance to set things right with his past and rescue his daughter from the dangerous and unstable world of Union, he willingly re-enters the haunting realm despite his residual trauma.
Right from the beginning, there's a sense of deja vu as Sebastian wanders the eerie and unreal locations in Union. Despite being one of the few survivors from the first game, he oddly finds himself falling for the same tricks and set-ups that the world and its inhabitants lay out for him. While this could be chalked up to a simple retread, much of these instances make a point of illustrating some key differences from this game and the last.
There's generally more of an adventurous feel compared to the original's isolated levels. With more side characters to interact with--opening up moments of dialogue that flesh out the story--and optional events scattered around the world, there's a level of freedom and variety in The Evil Within 2 that was largely absent from the first game. However, there are a few notable sections where backtracking is required, which slows the pacing and sense of progression to a crawl.
Despite this, exploration is consistently enjoyable, rewarding treks to the places tucked away, where you can find details about Union's history and meet other characters looking to survive the nightmare. With so many little details that add a lot to atmosphere, there's a clear respect for The Evil Within's world. The many nods to original game feel more impactful for it, giving a renewed appreciation for Sebastian's previous adventure.
Compared to its predecessor's singular levels in unique chapters, The Evil Within 2 possesses a more organic and interconnected set of places to explore--focusing on several large maps with multiple points of interest. While there's still plenty of mind-bending and perspective-skewing set pieces, such as a tentacle creature with a large camera for an eye, the explorable spaces are the real standout. In many ways, it's like traversing through a demented amusement park filled with hideous creations, forcing yourself to face past horrors. Adventuring to places not marked on the map often yields valuable resources, and also leads to some surprising encounters with obsessive ghosts and multiple unnerving, fourth-wall breaking events.
It takes more than just going for the head to take out some of the tougher enemies.
Over time, environments descend into chaos when Union inevitably grows unstable, turning a small town into a horrifying and unnerving shell of its former self. Streets vertically upend, and fire and blood exude from places they shouldn't. The visual design of The Evil Within 2 successfully juxtaposes vastly different settings and aesthetics, and presents them in a bizarre package that illustrates the erratic and unpredictable nature of the world.
While Sebastian felt more like a mere sketch of a hardened and weary protagonist in his first outing, he feels better realized and more grounded in this sequel, giving a certain gravitas to his struggle. Showing bewilderment and confusion throughout the first game, he's more confident and determined this time, even throwing in some fitting one-liners that poke fun at some of the dangers in the last game. The supporting cast of villains also feel more active in the ongoing events, and have a greater sense of place this time around--particularly with the eccentric serial killer artist who photographs his victims upon their deaths.
The Evil Within 2 successfully juxtaposes vastly different settings and aesthetics, and presents them in a bizarre package that illustrates the erratic and unpredictable nature of the world.
While there's occasional moments of cheese and humor throughout--such as the inclusion of a goofy shooting range and collectible toys related to other Bethesda games--the levity never feels out of place, which is an accomplishment considering the game's pervasive macabre atmosphere.
Putting a greater emphasis on the survival aspect of survival horror, The Evil Within 2 demands resource management and bravery in its relatively spacious world. While common enemies are fewer in number compared to the original game, they're far more threatening alone and can easily manhandle Sebastian. There's a thoughtful approach to engagement and progression this time around, which means you'll have to think twice about whether or not to engage a group of enemies. With that said, you have a sizable arsenal of weapons and gear--including the return of the Crossbow with six different ammo types--to take on the enemies as you see fit.
Some encounters will pull out all the stops to prevent Sebastian from making progress.
Throughout his journey, Sebastian carries a communication device, allowing him to keep track of main objectives, along with points of interest and intel on the fates of side characters in the area. How you go about dealing with these characters and exploring is up to you. Similarly, whether you avoid conflict with enemies or take out as many as possible along the way is down to your preferred playstyle. The Evil Within 2 accommodates those that prefer action as much as those that like to be stealthy. Combat is robust, thanks to improved weapon handling and character upgrading that allows you to focus on the specific areas of Sebastian's skillset to enhance stealth, combat, and athleticism.
Sebastian can return to the safe haven of his mind to upgrade weapons and skills, and review case files and intel on various characters. With the Green Gel collected from fallen enemies--and the new Red Gel that unlocks upper tier upgrades--the core upgrading system has been greatly improved. Going beyond simply increasing damage of melee strikes and stamina length, new special perks can be unlocked such as the ever-useful Bottle Break skill that uses bottles as self-defense items when grabbed by enemies. Along with the expanded weapon upgrade system, using only weapon parts, the systems of progression feel far more nuanced and open.
Sebastian will have to scavenge for supplies and other materials to make up for the lack of ammo boxes and health items. While this may seem like it can make things easy, efficient crafting can only be done at dedicated workbenches, whereas crafting in the field via the radial inventory menu should be done a last resort as it costs twice as many materials. This crafting element adds a bit of a survivalist feel to The Evil Within 2, where you're scrounging around corners to find materials, all while avoiding packs of enemies looking to pummel you.
Though the game is challenging even on its standard difficulty level, it's not unfair, and there are options for multiple playstyles. The standard Survival difficulty mode is manageable, and you won't find yourself hitting a way due to lack of resources. However, the Nightmare mode raises the stakes, featuring slightly altered combat encounters, harder enemies, and fewer resources to find. If you're up for a challenge of a different kind, the unlockable Classic mode will disable auto-saves, upgrades, and limit you to a finite amount of saves. In addition to extra unlockables for completing the tougher difficulties, the experiences they offer is more in keeping with the true survival horror experience, where resources are hard to come by, and the enemies are deadlier than before.
There's a clear respect for the horror genre in The Evil Within 2, with a number of references to classic films and games. The game channels that style and tone into combat that feels brutal and raw, stealth that has an air of suspense, and unsettling confrontations with dangerous, otherworldly creatures. The Evil Within 2 doubles down on the core of what makes survival horror games great: the focus on disempowerment and obstacles, and the ensuing satisfaction that comes with surviving a harrowing assault.
Though there's some occasional technical hiccups that result in some particularly frustrating moments and weird pacing issues, this horror sequel elevates the tense and impactful survival horror experience in ways that feel fresh and exciting. What this cerebral horror game does isn't totally new, but it rarely feels routine, and offers plenty of surprises. Coming in at a lengthy and surprisingly packed 15-hour campaign, the sequel does an admirable job of ratcheting up the tension and scares when it needs to, while also giving you the freedom to explore and proceed how you want. It's a tough thing to balance, but The Evil Within 2 does it remarkably well, and in a way that leaves a strong and lasting impression after its touching conclusion.

Ingenuity helicopter phones home from Mars
Ingenuity helicopter phones home from Mars-
The Ingenuity helicopter, sidekick, and traveling companion of NASA's Perseverance rover have checked in with an honest report and are "operating needlessly to say," consistent with the agency.
If effective, Ingenuity will be the first helicopter to fly on another planet, leading to an "extraterrestrial Wright Brothers moment," said Thomas Zurbuchen, associate administrator of NASA's Science Mission Directorate.
The rover landed safely on the surface of Mars Thursday after launching from Earth on July 30. Perseverance has already sent back a powerful set of images to point out that she's safe and prepared to travel through a "checkout" phase before starting her journey across the surface. Now, the mission team has heard directly from the helicopter for the primary time — and it's excellent news.
Ingenuity is currently tucked up beneath the rover and attached to Perseverance's belly. The rover is about the dimensions of an SUV, while the helicopter only weighs about 4 pounds helicopter was ready to phone home via the rover by sending data back through NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, which acts as a communications relay between Mars and Earth and has been orbiting the Mars since 2006.
Ingenuity is comfortable where it's and is not letting go of the rover anytime soon for a test flight. The helicopter will persist snug with the rover for 30 to 60 days.
"Ingenuity, the Mars Helicopter I carry, is functioning needless to say. I'm currently charging it, but once I set it down, it'll rely solely on its solar panels. If it survives the brutally cold Martian nights, the team will attempt flight," read a tweet from the Perseverance Twitter account.

"There are two big-ticket items we are trying to find within the data: the state of charge of Ingenuity's batteries also as confirmation the bottom station is working as designed, commanding heaters to show off and on to stay the helicopter's electronics within an expected range," said Tim Canham, Ingenuity Mars Helicopter operations lead at NASA's reaction propulsion Laboratory, during a statement.
"Both appear to be working great. With this positive report, we'll move forward with (Saturday's) charge of the helicopter's batteries."
Ingenuity must power up and store energy so it can keep itself warm and maintain other vital functions during the cold Martian nights once the rover deposits the helicopter on the red planet's surface. Then, Ingenuity is going to be on its own.
And it'll be got to withstand nights where temperatures can drop as low as negative 130 degrees Fahrenheit. As Elton John famously sings in "Rocket Man," Mars is, indeed, as cold as hell.
Maintaining function and good battery health is going to be critical if the helicopter is to survive the frigid Martian climate before attempting any test flights afterward. a complete of 5 test flights are planned over a 31-day period once the rover finds the proper "helipad," or nice flat spot, to deposit Ingenuity.
As long as Ingenuity is attached to Perseverance, the helicopter can give its batteries a lift. The helicopter has six lithium-ion batteries. Once it's detached from the rover, those batteries are going to be charged by the helicopter's solar panels first flight of Ingenuity is going to be short, only about 20 seconds of hovering off the bottom.
But it'll be a historic moment. very similar to the very first Martian rover, Sojourner, Ingenuity may be a technology demonstration — an experiment. Proving that this idea can work could lead to the event of rotorcraft that would act as scouts for both rovers and human missions to Mars within the future.
If that first flight is successful, "over 90% of the project's goals will are achieved," consistent with NASASubsequent flights could last longer and test out more of the helicopter's capabilities. It carries two cameras which will provide aerial images. Perseverance also will train its cameras on Ingenuity to capture the sights and sounds, including video, of those historic flights.
"We are in uncharted territory, but this team is employed thereto," said MiMi Aung, project manager for the Ingenuity Mars Helicopter at JPL, during a statement. "Just about every milestone from here through the top of our flight demonstration program are going to be a primary, and everyone has got to succeed for us to travel on to subsequent. We'll enjoy this excellent news for the instant, on the other hand, we've to urge back to figure ."
