I've been thinking about taking the rescue course this winter and I also wanted to get a weekend dive trip in before spring. I just read that a weekend rescue course is available at Bonne Terre Mine. Has anyone been through the course at Bonne Terre? It sounds like it would be a great weekend.
It depends on cost, they tend to be rather pricey. If you want to dive and in some water that's not got ice in it consider Bennett Springs. You do need reservations however.
Personally I'd suggest doing rescue close to home and save the mine for a trip if you really want to go there. Why combine fun with work?
Rescue is a good course but I wouldn't want to do it on a trip/vacation. If it is a specialty or advanced yeah sure but Rescue, I wouldn't. If I did my rescue on a trip I wouldn't of enjoyed the trip or not that much anyway.
I did my rescue in St. Thomas USVI, and I loved it. I had superb instructors and part of my rescue course was following a group and watching for subtle signs that something was wrong. I got to do my rescue checkouts while diving in beautiful, warm water.
i'll be taking my rescue course in... maybe lake michigan? ah well..
I would not do Rescue in Bonne Terre for 2 reasons-the first is why I have not been there-THEY ARE EXPENSIVE!!!!
Second is that you spend A LOT of time in the water for Rescue Diver. Bonne Terre is supposed to be cold. Also, I do not know where there are any shallows there. You need to drag victims/patients up onto the shore.
I haven't took rescue, yet. But, what I have heard is that you actually don't do a lot of diving. It's more drills and not a lot of diving. If this is the case, why would you want to take the course where you have to spend money to dive.
Again, I haven't taken the course, so I may be talking out of turn here.
Divers are the worlds worst for swallowing a camel and gagging on a knat. We all are perfectly willing to pay $600 for that new reg that probably is not any better than a cheapo reg, $2500 for a dry suit that we will probably want another color in a couple of years; but choke on spending $65 for a dive in 50 ft viz.
Honestly $65 a dive a half a dozen times a year is the least of my wife's fears about the cost of scuba.
Bonne Terre is supposed to be cold. Also, I do not know where there are any shallows there. You need to drag victims/patients up onto the shore.
Depends on your definition of "cold" I guess, but to this Texas boy 59 degrees was cold... I don't recall any shallow areas either, you'd be dragging them onto the dock I'm sure.
I like that camel / knat phrase. I'll have to remember that one.
As for me, I save my pennies for the $600 reg because I know it's better than others, and I don't care what color my drysuit is as long as it's mostly dry. After THOSE expenses I can't afford things like Bonne Terre if there not other reasons to go there. Personaly, I can't stomach hand-hold dives anyway.
If I was going to do a course at Bonne Terre, I would probably do the cavern class, but I have decided I would rather do it in the Cenotes in the Yucatan.
My dive shop does rescue in the Blue Hole in Santa Rosa, NM in the Fall/Spring and would probably be a better location than Bonne Terre.

Food Security in Pakistan: Can It Be Achieved?
Author: Ather Maqsood Ahmed, Rehana Siddiqui
Wide fluctuations in world prices of food-grains, especially rice and wheat, in the seventies and the early eighties forced many developing countries to strive for self-sufficiency in food-grain production. Pakistan is among the countries where near self-sufficiency was achieved in wheat in the early eighties. It also maintained its status as a leading rice-exporting country. However, a continuously high rate of population growth, a changing pattern of income distribution, and a greater level of urbanisation have greatly influenced the demand for food-grains. At the same time, additional factors like a sharp rise in the cost of irrigation, a dramatic decline in the world price of rice, a heavy debt burden, the lack of technology and human capital development, and mismanagement in the distribution system have contributed towards a slower growth of grain production as compared with the levels achieved in the sixties and the eighties. This change in the demand and supply situation with respect to food has necessitated the need to re-evaluate the existing agricultural policies. Within demand and supply constraints, the question is whether or not Pakistan can attain selfsufficiency in wheat while at the same time maintaining its status as a significant exporter of rice. In the immediate future, the situation appears desperate, but in the long-run, when available resources are adequately utilised and consistent policies are adopted, there is hope and optimism. This study not only reviews the current food situation in Pakistan but also develops alternative policy scenarios which are consistent with the target of food security in Pakistan.

FC Copenhagen Reject Rumours Linking Them With Move to Sign Arsenal Forward Nicklas Bendtner
Steven Green

Danish club not looking to bring striker on board.
Danish giants FC Copenhagen have distanced themselves from rumours linking them with a move for Arsenal striker Nicklas Bendtner after he was spotted watching the club this weekend, according to Goal.com.
Read More Arsenal Transfer News
Bendtner watched Copenhagen give up a lead at Parken, the club's home ground, to draw 1-1 with Randers and it has kicked the gossip into overdrive as many touted him to join the club in a bid to resurrect his career.
However, Copenhagen director Anders Horsholt pound cold water on that theory when he was asked if they would be making a move for the hapless 26-year-old.
"We are not talking about that," Horsholt told reporters.
"He (Bendtner) is in town and is an old Copenhagen boy, who during his childhood days (attended games at Parken). He wanted to see some football, it isn't anything more than that.
"Unfortunately we couldn't give him a win."
Bendtner has played just nine games for the Gunners this season and has been widely tipped to make an exit from the club at the end of the campaign.
He admitted last year that he could be tempted to make a return to his hometown club at some point in the near future.
"I like the idea of finishing at FC Copenhagen and try the Superliga at the end of my career," he said.

Will the Ceasefire Hold in Ukraine? (1/2)
by Volodymyr Ishchenko February 13, 2015 September 23, 2020
Kiev-based sociologist Volodymyr Ishchenko says the ceasefire is likely just a pause before another military campaign begins
SHARMINI PERIES, EXEC. PRODUCER, TRNN: Welcome to The Real News Network. I'm Sharmini Peries, coming to you from Baltimore. A ceasefire agreement to end the civil war in Ukraine was accepted by leaders from Russia, Germany, France, and the separatist rebels in Minsk, Byelorussia. They agreed to a full ceasefire by Sunday, February 15. They also agreed to remove heavy weaponry by March 1. And further, they agreed to ongoing monitoring by the OSCE, that is, the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe, along with other humanitarian groups that would also monitor things. And several political and economic reforms were also agreed to that would have to take place in Kiev. Now joining us from Kiev to discuss all of this is Volodymyr Ishchenko. He is joining us from Kiev, and he's a deputy director at the Center for Social and Labor Research. Volodymyr, thank you again for joining us. VOLODYMYR ISHCHENKO, DEPUTY DIR., CENTER FOR SOCIETY RESEARCH: Thank you. PERIES: So, Volodymyr, let's begin with your take on the ceasefire agreement. ISHCHENKO: Oh, [incompr.] most probably it would be just a temporary ceasefire. So, as Angela Merkel already said, she doesn't have any illusions about that. And she's probably right. Even starting from the first points of this agreement, it's of course necessary to stop the fighting and to move the heavy weaponry to some safe distances, but there's no, actually, any efficient mechanism to control it and to impose it in the case of either Ukrainian forces or the separatists would like to break the agreement. So the OSCE is a humanitarian organization and it's not something like a peacekeeping force, so it doesn't have, actually, the force for impose the agreement. Basically, it means that it relies on the goodwill of both conflicting sides to implement the agreement. And speaking about strategic points about the control on the border and constitutional reform, they use quite weak formulations, and it seems that no serious mechanism is discussed there. So it seems to be more like a temporary ceasefire to–actually to allow the conflicting parties to actually prepare for the next military campaign, which probably starts in spring, at least, or probably even go there. PERIES: Right. Let's take a look at the previous ceasefire agreement that went haywire, and nobody actually respected it. So what's the difference between the previous one and this one? ISHCHENKO: Oh. That's a good question, because in basics it repeats the Minsk agreement of September. But now it's–basically, they tried to implement the same things, so the same demands for how they control over the border, the same demands about the constitutional reform and the special status for separate areas in Donetsk in Lugansk regions, the same about moving away the heavy weaponry. But it seems now that the previous agreement was made by the contact group. And now the great powers are behind it. PERIES: Okay. So that hopefully will strengthen the agreement. Okay. So, now, part of the–. ISHCHENKO: That's a big question, if it strengthens the agreement. As I said, both Hollande and Merkel are quite hesitant about this, and they don't show huge enthusiasm. PERIES: Right. ISHCHENKO: So that was a necessary step. But it seems that all of them understand that the probability to implement this agreement is probably lower than the probability of break it. PERIES: Right. And explain that part of the agreement is that now Russia would control some of the border areas that is being contested. Explain that component. ISHCHENKO: No, no, no. I didn't see that. So what they agreed about, that by the end of 2015, they will allow Ukrainian forces to take control of the border by the end of this year. But it's conditional on the successful implementation of constitutional reform. So they will start up a deal with some [incompr.] on the border. PERIES: Volodymyr, what does this mean in terms of the control of the border right now? Can you explain that? ISHCHENKO: So one of the points in the agreement is that Ukrainian forces will finally take control over that part of the border which is now controlled by the separatists. And it's going to happen by the end of 2015, by the end of this year. But it's conditional, and including the condition of the special status for the separatist areas and constitutional reform. It's actually–it's written in, this point. So they will start to give control to the Ukrainian forces on some parts of the border right after they promised elections, local elections, according to Ukrainian legislation. But they will end this process only after some constitutional reform which would satisfy the separatists happen. So, as I said, that all these things are looking quite fragile. PERIES: Okay. Now, as a part of the agreement, it is also required to have some constitutional reform within Ukraine decentralizing the state special status to Donetsk and Luhansk and other areas. Do you think that this is going to be a practical solution and will be accepted by Kiev? ISHCHENKO: In those formulations that they voted, it could be accepted. But that's a question for–both sides can interpret it in various ways. So, for Kiev–and Petro Poroshenko already said it, that no talks about autonomy for Donbas, no talks about federalization. And that's actually important thing and probably was one of the aims of Russia in this war that's some federalization of a special wide autonomy status for Donbas that would allow them to block any kind of pro-NATO moves. So it would become a guarantee for neutral status of Ukraine. PERIES: Right. ISHCHENKO: And if they arrived at something that's kind of a special status [incompr.] that can be interpreted in various ways. And, of course, the separatists would demand much higher special status, much higher autonomy, and Ukraine would say that they are not ready to concede on this. PERIES: Right. ISHCHENKO: And that provides another point for continuing the conflict. PERIES: Okay. Actually, this is a good place for us to take a break and go to our analysis section in the next segment. Thanks so much for joining us, Volodymyr. And thank you for joining us on The Real News Network.

Ofcom has slapped BT with a £70,000 fine after the telecoms giant failed to provide pricing information needed for the regulator's broadband and home phone review.
BT apparently held back the cost of some products not once but twice after Ofcom asked for prices in February and June last year.
The two industry products in question were BT's Fibre Broadband Boost and Superfast Recharge.
ISPs like Sky and TalkTalk buy these services to jack up the broadband speed their customers can reach, and to improve the reliability of the fibre connections they sell.
BT broadband has had a fraught time of late, the split with its engineering division Openreach last year the start of a mound of problems.
In a statement Ofcom said: "When BT responded to these information requests, it failed to state that the prices for the products were different on a Saturday to those it charged on weekdays.
"It also provided the discounted price for one of these products, rather than the contracted price.
So not only did BT get the prices wrong, they failed to tell the regulator that they charge different prices for things depending on which day of the week it is.
The £70,000 fine was reportedly cut by 30% as BT admitted fault and agreed to pay early.
And BT wanted the contract to bring 10Mbps broadband to the entire country with the Universal Service Obligation.

White House announces Trump intends to nominate Army Secretary Mark Esper for defense secretary
Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images
The White House announced on Friday evening that President Trump will nominate Army Secretary Mark Esper to fill the role of defense secretary.
The announcement comes three days after the resignation of Acting Defense Secretary Patrick Shanahan who was in line for the full-time position until reports surfaced about his contentious divorce and multiple domestic violence incidents in his family.
Esper, a West Point graduate and Gulf War veteran, has served as a top civilian Pentagon official, a lobbyist for defense contractor Raytheon, and an adviser to Republican lawmakers. Esper has a "deep understanding" of how Washington works, The Washington Post reports, and his nomination comes at a crucial moment, with the U.S. and Iran mired in escalating tensions. Lawmakers have reportedly been clamoring for "stable civilian leadership" at the Pentagon.
Esper was set to take over as acting defense secretary when Shanahan's resignation goes into effect on Sunday, but federal law may prevent him from carrying out those duties once Trump formally nominates him. Tim O'Donnell

This Is Us Recap: The Big Three Say Goodbye To Rebecca
Joshua Lee | Posted on May 18, 2022 |
Since its launch in 2016, this has been moving towards a use resolution.
The last episode of the series on Tuesday was the most emotional as the Rebecca (Mandy Moore) kids said goodbye to her.
On top of the dazzling installment, Rebecca's fall began when her nurse handed her lotion.
No response was received.
However, Rebecca's mind was still active, and we took a trip in the past to see many younger Rebecca.
The mother of the Pearson family was on a train, wearing a beautiful red dress.
As soon as a man approached, Rebecca announced that she was waiting for someone.
But who was this mysterious man to our heroine?
William (Ron Cephas)!
What a throwback, huh?
If you watch This Is Us online, you know William Randall (Sterling K. Brown) was a big part of the previous season of the series as a biological father.
Rebecca and William had a chat, and the former asked the latter to recite the poem that gave him an idea of Randall's name.
The plot unfolds as William invites Rebecca to the beautiful train bar, but he remembers she was waiting for someone.
Rebecca decides to start the journey at the bar, and the rest of the episode plunges into this train journey and some horrible developments for the rest of the family.
We learned that Rebecca's blood pressure was dropping and that she was starting to slip.
"Things are happening fast now. I can't see that she made it overnight, "announced nurse Laila.
Everyone in the house went to say goodbye to the woman who had made a huge difference in their lives.
"Thank you for helping me with the complex, incredible, handsome boy you raised. But I got him now," Beth (Susan Kelechi-Watson) shared when Rebecca heard it on the train through the speaker.
When Beth appeared on the train, William said that the train was moving fast and they all had to go through.
Dr. Katowski made drinks for everyone while on the train.
We told you this episode differently, you guys!
The only member of the Big Three next to Rebecca was Kate (Chrissy Metz), who was stuck in a tarmac in London.
For work, and although he did not want to go, his brothers claimed that their mother would not be impressed by such a great opportunity to avoid him.
Back on the train, Dr. Katovsky told Rebecca that she was at risk of death the day the baby was born.
Rebecca Pearson, "The harder you come, the harder you are," she shared.
"And you, my dear, have achieved a rest."
When the train journey reached its final moment, Rebecca refused to move forward.
"I told you, I'm waiting for someone," he said.
We later learned that Kate made it on time.
William opened a door that revealed a bed in it.
"It's pretty sad, isn't it? The end?" She is surprised.
"The way I see it, if something hurts you after it's over, it must have been great when it happened," he responded.
"The end is not sad, Rebecca. It's just the beginning of the next incredibly beautiful thing. Your son made that time like that Doppie painting," he added.
We're back in bed at the present moment, and Randall tells his mother to "say 'Hey' to him," clearly referring to their father.
He shook her hand.
We got back on the train for the last time while Rebecca was lying in bed. He turned and saw Jack lying beside him.
"Hey," he said with a smile.
"Hey," he replied.
Now, the way you do one last episode!
There is only one episode left of This Is Us and it will air on May 24 at 9pm

Allergy problems affect almost one in three people and the numbers continue to grow every year. Dust found in the air can contain mites, pet hair, pet dander, fungus spores, and more besides. In addition, increased use of cleaning products and aerosols can increase the risk of developing an allergy and intensifies the symptoms in those who already suffer from them.
Clean your house more frequently and use a mixture of warm water and vinegar rather than off-the-shelf products where possible.
Try to use a vacuum cleaner that expels dirt down the drain rather than one that releases soiled air into the home. An external air outlet or the use of an Activac 3 filter are very good alternatives.
Use non-allergenic bedding made from synthetic materials.
The use of a portable vacuum that expels soiled air into the home should obviously be avoided by people sensitive to air-borne allergens. The majority of Drainvac central vacuum cleaners are specifically designed to minimize the release of allergens into the air.
The Automatik model is particularly recommended because the material it picks up is drained into the sewer system. The dust picked up is mixed with water at the unit's inlet, and when a certain liquid level is reached, it is evacuated down the drain. In addition, the unit is designed to pick up liquids so you can also clean floors and even mattresses with this model. It cleans and vacuums at the same time! It is the perfect choice.
Another solution is to choose a unit that uses a dust bag and an antimicrobial SMS filter. You then simply connect the unit to an exterior air outlet or you can use a Activac 3 HEPA filter, which also has a activated carbon membrane to eliminate odors.
How Can I Buy An Eco-Friendly Central vacuum?

Full view of gouache painting

A bizarre and gritty subway terror scene by Mort Kunstler from the "War at Home" genre prevalent in 1960s Men's Magazine art. The image depicts the climactic moment in Nicholas Baehr's story "Ride With Terror" which was soon to be adapted for the screen with Beau Bridges in the role of the heroic service man squaring off against thugs Martin Sheen and Tony Musante. This envisioning shows the toughs in their best Lords of Flatbush garb accosting a pretty mod damsel. The square jawed, uniformed early Vietnam era soldier commands the foreground in this archetypical depiction of the ongoing culture war of the 60s. This is an electric work; if you are a fan of the genre, this gouache painting has it all. This was used as a May cover "For Men Only Magazine" with the title "Underground Angels Who Terrorized New York's Subways."
The painting as it appeared as the Cover "For Men Only"
Full Matted View
An explosive confrontation that captures the prevailing nihilism associated with the 1960s "sweat magazine" art and envelope-pushing adventure fiction. A tense and hyper-realistic pop-art time capsule.
In the 1960s and 1970s, men's magazines exploited Cold War tensions and capitalized on prevalent working class American fears. "The Sweats," as they are commonly known, followed the blueprint set by the pulp magazines of the previous generation, depicting perceived enemies as savages, Nazis, and Communist torturers.
Leading illustrators in this strangely subversive genre, such as Norman Saunders, James Bama, Norm Eastman, Rafael DeSota and Mort Kunstler, created sensational, figurative illustrations executed in a style markedly similar to Socialist Realism and its associated propaganda imagery.

In Adam Parfey's 2003 coffee table book It's A Man's World; Men's Adventure Magazines, The Postwar Pulps; where this gouache work is featured in a full page color-plate. The writer states "Consumerism, the specifically American style of propaganda best promoted by the work of Mort Kunstler in the 50's and beyond, is an aesthetic limited by little beyond the ability to sell a magazine, though it rhetorically promoted the idea that America no matter it's behavior was always morally superior. Other political beliefs, Nazism and Communism particularly, were by the conduct of their soldiers always portrayed as being perverse, ruthless and vicious. The racial component and sadistic misogyny of men's magazines from the 50's, the 60's and even the 70's is today astounding."
"What's also astounding is the imagination of the illustrations, all tractioned by the ability to depict fear. Fear of enemies, fear of animals, fear of women, fear of any loaded attack on the buyer's manliness."

9:37 Today I am running a Plasma chart on the AUX page; This chart has a new feature-"Push Balls"
4/8/2016 9:33:59 AM MT Arb:: Al, at 9:30 it seems we were following the red moontide and we still do. How long a market / moontide divergence before you decide it happened. Did the first morning trade presume we were tracking the green moontide ?
4/8/2016 8:49:50 AM MT g:: can you explain a little what has to happen for the push-balls to appear ?


Love the logo & the chat idea. Works well, top work.
However, things are getting a bit messy. I'm using the site at 1920x1080 and it's a vertical nightmare at present. Let alone when having a look on the iPhone.
Would anyone like to get together over the next few weeks to discuss how to improve and implement the layout?
I've found in the past, using simple pieces of paper on a table to cut out "modules" then arranging them on another piece of paper (the homepage, in theory) is a very effective collaborative method of designing.
I have enough experience personally to have a shot at some templates, and designs, I also have webspace that can be used to mock up potential designs, perhaps even allow a poll for it?
If anything was beyond my capability, just looking at the members - almost 250 - if each were to donate $1 it'd buy 10-15 hours of a professional's time. All we'd have to do is scan our cut & paste piece of paper, and send it off to India and it's done for us.
If I'm out of place with these suggestions, and you're all happy, please by all means tell me to shut up. There'll be no offence taken.
There are appropriate avenues to approach the admin about website layout. This is not one of them.
You are not part of the administration at this time and we are not at the stage of changing the layout of the forum.
When we change the layout of the forum, this community will then be consulted.

Eminem Makes a Cameo on 'SNL' During Pete Davidson's Parody of "Stan"
The craze surrounding Sony's PlayStation 5 might be the only feeling that rivals the love Eminem receives from his fans. As a result, Saturday Night Live found it fitting to parody Marshall's hit record "Stan" into a song about a gamer's quest for the console.
The PS5 is undoubtedly on top of the Christmas list for many kids and adults. And after turning over every stone to find one, Stu (Pete Davidson) decided to sit down ask the Big Man in charge for one. While penning a letter to Santa Claus (played by SNL host Jason Bateman), Stu's obsession with the game started to rival the infatuation Stan had with Eminem.
"I won't be greedy, or needy, or ask you for too much," Stu raps while writing down his Christmas list in a basement. "Just want one thing, and hope you still got that magic touch/Because getting this present is the only thing keeping me alive/Dear Santa Claus, please bring me a PS5."
Like the original song, Santa neglects to write Stu back. This enraged the crazed gamer, prompting him to pen more intense letters to Kris Kringle.
"If you can't help your biggest fan, you should just retire/Or the next time you slide down my chimney I'll set your ass on fire," Stu writes in ensuing letters before taking things over the edge.
"Dear Mr. Holly Jolly-Two-Faces-Son-of-a-Bitch," Stu rapped. "I hope you crash your sleigh and wind up face down in a ditch/I guess the great St. Nick can't track down a PS5/Hey, Santa I drank a fifth of eggnog, dare me to drive?"
After reading these letters, the elves at Santa's workshop were worried. To calm their nerves, Santa decided to write Stu back like Eminem did Stan. But instead of giving him a heartfelt message similar to Em's, Santa just told him that he had the wrong address.
This hilarious rendition of one of Eminem's smash hits was topped with a cameo from the iconic rapper. At the end of the sketch, Eminem appears on Stu's basement television, unwrapping a PS5 that he didn't even ask for.
"I guess Shady must've been a good boy this year," Em said to the screen. "Sorry, Stu. You fucked up."
Watch the full sketch above.

New tool for assessing soil health could help link payments with ecosystem services
By Natasha Foote | EURACTIV.com
30-01-2020 (updated: 07-02-2020 )
Robert Ramsay of SoilEssentials, the company behind the new app, told EURACTIV that soil health is notoriously difficult to measure, saying that traditional methods of analysis are insufficient and often based on highly variable and unstable tests. [SHUTTERSTOCK]
A UK farming technology company has teamed up with leading space industry engineers and soil biologists to create a new tool to accurately assess biodiversity and soil health on farms.
The technology is being developed to help farmers to accurately measure the impact of their actions on the soil, something which will be required to ensure they are appropriately remunerated for the ecosystem services they provide.
This coincides with a drive from both UK Government Ministers and EU officials to support sustainable farming practices, something that has been placed high on the political agenda.
There has been much talk in both quarters of linking "public money for public goods", such as better air and water quality.
One example would be soil health, with efficient earth management named as one of the key priorities in a series of briefs on the nine proposed specific objectives of the future CAP.
As well as being essential to the future of food and farming, soils also play a crucial role in supporting the functioning of natural ecosystems, helping to regulate the earth's climate, preserve biodiversity, filter water and cycle nutrients.
However, measuring soil quality reliably is challenging.
European leaders urged to act on soil sustainability
Soils play a key role in regulating the earth's climate, sustaining agriculture and preserving biodiversity. Yet they have fallen down the EU policy agenda even though tools exist to reverse that trend, according to a new report published today (26 September).
Robert Ramsay, director of SoilEssentials Ltd, the company behind the new tool, told EURACTIV that soil health is notoriously difficult to measure, saying that traditional methods of analysis are insufficient and often based on highly variable and unstable tests.
"If the new support schemes for farmers are going to be aimed at rewarding those who look after their soils, many will welcome that. The key question will then be 'how can soil health be easily measured' in order to comply with the proposed new regime?"
After four years of work, which involved the collection of one million data points from across the UK, the company designed a method of soil evaluation which combines the quantity and variety of nematodes present in the soil, using DNA analysis, combined with satellite information about the topography.
Nematodes are microscopic worms which play a vital role in the functioning of a healthy soil ecosystem.
A broad range of nematodes exist at several trophic levels of the soil food web. Thanks to the nature of their variability and ubiquitousness, nematodes are an excellent indicator of soil health.
The methodology gives two, simple and accurate index values, which provide a repeatable and comparable metric.
Ramsay said, "the tool we have developed is a soil metric that gives an absolute repeatable reading of the functional health of the soil."
"Rather than trying to directly measure soil health, SoilBio uses the organisms that live in the soil to reflect the environment that they have been inhabiting. That way it is more than just a snap-shot but also takes into account the last few years of soil management."
EU Commission unveils 'European Green Deal': The key points
The European Commission unveiled its hallmark European Green Deal on Wednesday (11 October), outlining a long list of policy initiatives aimed at putting Europe on track to reach net-zero emissions, and a pollution-free environment, by 2050.
He said that scientists working in the field are able to "judge the whole ecosystem" by evaluating top predators, which, in the case of soil, are nematodes.
He added that yields, after converting to sustainable practices, are often affected in the interim period.
As a result, he said that it is important to develop innovative tools which help farmers prove that soil health is improving during their transitional period, which can help them access financial support schemes.
Although the scheme is currently only in the UK, Ramsay said that he could "definitely" see this type of measurement tool rolled out across the EU, provided that there was access to accurate satellite data.

\section{Introduction}

There are various motivations to study 2d gravitational theories
and their black hole solutions (see \cite{12,RST,A,BPP,Rev} and
references therein). First of all,
it is often easier to study 2d models at least as useful laboratories.
Second, starting from 4d Einstein-Maxwell-scalar theory and applying
spherically symmetric reduction anzats \cite{8},
one is left with specific dilatonic gravity with dilaton coupled
matter. Hence, in such case 2d gravity with dilaton coupled matter
may describe the radial modes of the extremal dilatonic
black holes in four dimensions \cite{9}.
Similarly, dilaton coupled matter action appears in string inspired models.
Recently, dilaton dependent trace anomaly and induced effective action
for dilaton coupled scalars have been studied in refs.\cite{6,4,5}.
That opens new possibilities in the study of black holes
with back-reaction of quantum matter \cite{4}.

It could be extremely interesting to present supersymmetric generalization
of the results \cite{6,4,5}.
Above motivations are still valid in
this case. Indeed, let us
consider the spherical reduction of
$N=1$, $d=4$ supergravity theory to $d=2$
theory. In order to realize the spherical reduction,
we assume that the metric has the following form:
\begin{eqnarray}
\label{spmetric}
ds^2&=&\sum_{\mu\nu=0,1,2,3}g_{\mu\nu}dx^\mu dx^\nu \nonumber \\
&=&\sum_{m,n=t,r}g_{mn}(t,r)dx^mdx^n
+{\rm e}^{2\phi(t,r)}(d\theta^2 + \sin^2\theta d\varphi^2)\ .
\end{eqnarray}
The metric (\ref{spmetric})
can be realized by choosing the vierbein
fields $e^a_\mu$ as follows
\begin{eqnarray}
\label{spvier}
&& e^0_{\theta, \varphi}=e^3_{\theta, \varphi}=
e^1_{t,r}=e^2_{t,r}=0\ , \nonumber \\
&& e^1_\theta={\rm e}^\phi\ ,\ \
e^2_\varphi=\sin\theta{\rm e}^\phi\ ,\ \
e^1_\varphi=e^2_\theta=0\ .
\end{eqnarray}
The expression (\ref{spvier}) is unique up to
local Lorentz transformation.
The local supersymmetry transformation
for the vierbein field with the papameter
$\zeta$ and $\bar\zeta$ is given by,
\begin{equation}
\label{strnsf}
\delta e^a_\mu =i\left(\psi_\mu\sigma^a \bar\zeta
- \zeta\sigma^a \bar\psi_\mu\right)\ .
\end{equation}
Here $\psi_\mu$ is Rarita-Schwinger field
(gravitino) and we follow the standard notations
of ref.\cite{WB}(see also \cite{GGRS}.
If we require that the metric has the form of
(\ref{spmetric}) after the local supersymmetry
transformation, i.e.,
\begin{eqnarray}
\label{metric}
&&\delta g_{t\theta}=\delta g_{r\theta}
=\delta g_{t\varphi}=\delta g_{r\varphi}=
\delta g_{\theta\varphi}=0 \ , \nonumber \\
&& \delta g_{\varphi\varphi}
=\sin\theta \delta g_{\theta\theta}\ ,
\end{eqnarray}
we obtain, up to local Lorentz transformation,
\begin{eqnarray}
\label{solpara}
&&\zeta_1 = \bar\zeta^1\ ,\ \ \zeta_2 = \bar\zeta^2\ ,\\
\label{solgrtn}
&& \psi_{\varphi 1}=\sin\theta\psi_{\theta 1}\ ,\ \
\bar\psi_\varphi^1=\sin\theta\bar\psi_\theta^1 \ , \nonumber \\
&& \psi_{\varphi 2}=-\sin\theta\psi_{\theta 2}\ ,\ \
\bar\psi_\varphi^2=-\sin\theta\bar\psi_\theta^2 \ ,
\nonumber \\
&& \bar\psi^1_\theta=-\psi_{\theta 1}\ ,\ \
\bar\psi^2_\theta=-\psi_{\theta 2}\ ,\nonumber \\
&&
\psi_{r1}-\bar\psi_r^1
=-2{\rm e}^{-\phi}{\rm e}^3_r\psi_{\theta 2}\ ,\ \
\psi_{t1}-\bar\psi_t^1
=-2{\rm e}^{-\phi}{\rm e}^3_t\psi_{\theta 2}
\ ,\nonumber \\
&& \psi_{r2}-\bar\psi_r^2
=-2{\rm e}^{-\phi}{\rm e}^0_r\psi_{\theta 1}\ ,\ \
\psi_{t2}-\bar\psi_t^2
=-2{\rm e}^{-\phi}{\rm e}^0_r\psi_{\theta 1}
\ .
\end{eqnarray}
Eq.(\ref{solpara}) tells that the local supersymmetry
of the spherically reduced theory is $N=1$,
which should be compared with the torus compactified
case, where the supersymmetry becomes $N=2$.
Let the independent degrees of freedom of the
Rarita-Schwinger fields be
\begin{eqnarray}
\label{gravitino}
&& 2\psi_r^1\equiv\psi_{r1}+\bar\psi_r^1\ ,\ \
2\psi_r^2\equiv\psi_{r2}+\bar\psi_r^2\ ,\nonumber \\
&& 2\psi_t^1\equiv\psi_{t1}+\bar\psi_t^1\ ,\ \
2\psi_t^2\equiv\psi_{t2}+\bar\psi_t^2\ ,\\
\label{dilatino}
&&\chi_1\equiv\psi_{\theta 1}\ ,\ \
\chi_2\equiv\psi_{\theta 2}\ ,
\end{eqnarray}
then we can regard $\psi_{t,r}$ and $\chi$
to be the gravitino and the dilatino in the
spherically reduced theory.

If we coupled the massless matter multiplet,
the action of the spherically reduced theory
is given by
\begin{eqnarray}
\label{spmaction}
S&=&-{1 \over 4}\int d^4 x d^\theta{\cal E}
\left(\bar{\cal D}\bar{\cal D}-8R \right)
\Phi_i^\dagger \Phi_i \nonumber \\
&\sim 4\pi&\int dr dt \sqrt g {\rm e}^{2\phi}
\Bigl(-\partial_\mu A_i \partial^\mu A_i
- {i \over 2}\left[\chi_i\sigma^\mu{\cal D}_\mu\bar\chi_i
+\bar\chi_i\bar\sigma^\mu{\cal D}_\mu\chi_i\right] \nonumber \\
&& +\cdots \Bigr)\ .
\end{eqnarray}
Here $\cdots$ denotes the terms containing the
Rarita-Schwinger fields and dilatino.
Note that in the spherically reduced theory, the
dilaton filed $\phi$ couples with the matter fields.
Therefore if we like to investigate 2d dilaton
supergravity as the spherically reduced theory,
we need to couple the dilaton field to the matter
multiplet.

The present work is organised as following. Next section
is devoted to the construction of the Lagrangian for
2d dilatonic supergravity with dilaton coupled
matter and dilaton supermultiplets. Dilaton dependent
trace anomaly and induced effective action (as well
as large-$N$ effective action for quantum dilatonic supergravity)
for matter multiplet are found in section 3. Black holes
solutions and their properties are discussed for some specific models
in section 4. Some conclusions are presented in final section.

\section{The action of 2d dilatonic supergravity with
matter}

In the present section we are going to construct the action
of 2d dilatonic supergravity with dilaton supermultiplet and
with matter supermultiplet.
The final result is given in superfields as well as in components.

In order to construct the Lagrangian of two-dimensional dilatonic
supergravity, we use the component formulation
 of ref.\cite{HUY}.
The conventions and notations are given  as following:
\begin{itemize}
\item signature
\begin{equation}
\label{signature}
\eta^{ab}=\delta^{ab}=\left(\begin{array}{cc}
1 & 0 \\
0 & 1 \end{array}\right)
\end{equation}
\item gamma matrices
\begin{eqnarray}
\label{gammam}
\gamma^a\gamma^b&=&
\delta^{ab}+i\epsilon^{ab}\gamma_5 \ , \nonumber \\
\sigma_{ab}&\equiv& {1 \over 4}[\gamma_a, \gamma_b]
={i \over 2}\epsilon_{ab}\gamma_5\ .
\end{eqnarray}
\item charge conjugation matrix $C$
\begin{eqnarray}
\label{cc}
&&C\gamma_a C^{-1}=-\gamma_a^T \ , \nonumber \\
&& C=C^{-1}= -C^T \ , \nonumber \\
&& \bar\psi=-\psi^T C\ .
\end{eqnarray}
Here the index ${^T }$ means transverse.
\item Majorana spinor
\begin{equation}
\psi=\psi^c\equiv C\bar\psi^T\ .
\end{equation}
\item Levi-Civita tensor
\begin{eqnarray}
\label{LC}
&&\epsilon^{12}=\epsilon_{12}=1\ ,
\ \ \epsilon^{ab}=-\epsilon^{ba}\ ,
\ \ \epsilon_{ab}=-\epsilon_{ba}\ , \nonumber \\
&& \epsilon^{\mu\nu}=e\, e_a^\mu
e_b^\nu \epsilon_{ab}
\ \ \epsilon_{\mu\nu}=e^{-1}\, e^a_\mu e^b_\nu
\epsilon^{ab} \ .
\end{eqnarray}
\end{itemize}
In this paper, all the scalar fields are real and
all the spinor fields are Majorana spinors.

We introduce dilaton multiplet $\Phi=(\phi,\chi,F)$
and matter multiplet $\Sigma_i=(a_i,\chi_i,G_i)$,
which has the conformal weight $\lambda=0$, and
the curvature multiplet $W$\footnote{
The definition of the scalar curvature $R$ is different
from that of Ref.\cite{HUY} $R^{HUY}$ by sign
\[R=-R^{HUY}\ .\]}
\begin{equation}
\label{W}
W=\left(S,\eta,-S^2-{1 \over 2}R-{1 \over 2}
\bar\psi^\mu\gamma^\nu\psi_{\mu\nu}
+{1 \over 4}\bar\psi^\mu\psi_\mu\right)\ .
\end{equation}
Here $R$ is the scalar curvature and
\begin{eqnarray}
\label{eta}
\eta&=&-{1 \over 2}S\gamma^\mu\psi_\mu
+{i \over 2}e^{-1}\epsilon^{\mu\nu}\gamma_5
\psi_{\mu\nu} \ , \\
\label{psimn}
\psi_{\mu\nu}&=&D_\mu\psi_\nu - D_\nu\psi_\mu \ , \nonumber \\
D_\mu\psi_\nu&=&\left(\partial_\mu
-{1 \over 2}\omega_\mu\gamma_5\right)\psi_\nu \ , \nonumber \\
\omega_\mu&=&-ie^{-1}e_{a\mu}\epsilon^{\lambda\nu}
\partial_\lambda e^a_\nu
-{1 \over 2}\bar\psi_\mu\gamma_5\gamma^\lambda
\psi_\lambda\ .
\end{eqnarray}
The curvature multiplet has the conformal
weight $\lambda=1$.

Then the general action of 2d dilatonic supergravity
is given in terms of general functions of the
dilaton $C(\phi)$, $Z(\phi)$, $f(\phi)$ and
$V(\phi)$\footnote{
The multiplet containing $C(\phi)$, for example,
is given by $(C(\phi), C'(\phi)\chi, C'(\phi)F
-{1 \over 2}C''(\phi)\bar\chi\chi)$. } as follows
\begin{eqnarray}

The covariant derivatives for the multiplet

\end{eqnarray}
$T_P(Z)$ is called the kinetic multiplet for
the multiplet $Z=(\varphi, \zeta, H)$ and
when the multiplet $Z$ has the comformal weight
$\lambda=0$, $T_P(Z)$ has the following form
\begin{equation}
\label{kin}
T_P(Z)=(H, \DS\zeta, \Box\varphi)\ .
\end{equation}
The kinetic multiplet
$T_P(Z)$ has conformal weight $\lambda=1$.
The product of two multiplets
$Z_k=(\varphi_k, \zeta_k, H_k)$ $(k=1,2)$
with the conformal weight $\lambda_k$ is defined by
\begin{equation}
\label{product}
Z_1\otimes Z_2 =(\varphi_1\varphi_2,
\varphi_1\zeta_2 + \varphi_2\zeta_1,
\varphi_1 H_2 + \varphi_2 H_1 - \bar\zeta_1\zeta_2)\ .
\end{equation}
The invariant Lagrangian $\inv{Z}$ for multiplet
$Z$ is defined by
\begin{equation}
\label{inv}
\inv{Z}=e\left[F+{1 \over 2}\bar\psi_\mu\gamma^\mu \zeta
+{1 \over 2}\varphi\bar\psi_\mu\sigma^{\mu\nu}\psi_\nu

In superconformal gauge

e^a_\mu ={\rm e}^\rho \delta^a_\mu\ (e={\rm e}^\rho)\ ,
\ \ \psi_\mu=\gamma_\mu \psi\
(\bar\psi_\mu=-\bar\psi\gamma_\mu)\ ,
\end{equation}
we find
\begin{eqnarray}
\label{formula}
\omega_\mu&=&-i\epsilon^\lambda_{\ \mu}
\partial_\lambda\rho \ , \nonumber \\
eR&=&-2\partial_\mu\partial^\mu\rho \ , \nonumber \\
\epsilon^{\mu\nu}\psi_{\mu\nu}&=&
-2ie\gamma_5\gamma^\mu
\left(\partial_\mu - {1 \over 2}\partial_\mu\rho
\right)\psi \ , \nonumber \\
\eta&=& -S\psi + \gamma^\mu
\left(\partial_\mu - {1 \over 2}\partial_\mu\rho
\right)\psi \ , \nonumber \\
\bar\psi^\mu\gamma^\nu\psi_{\mu\nu}&=&
-2\bar\psi\left(\partial_\mu - {1 \over 2}\partial_\mu\rho
\right)\psi \ ,\nonumber \\
\bar\psi_\mu\sigma^{\mu\nu}\psi_\nu&=&-\bar\psi\psi\ .
\end{eqnarray}

Hence, we constructed the classical action for 2d
dilatonic supergravity with dilaton and matter supermultiplets.

\section{Effective action in large-$N$
approach on bosonic background}

Our purpose in this section will be the study of trace anomaly
and effective action in large-$N$
approximation for the 2d dilatonic supergravity
discussed in previous section.
We consider only bosonic background below as it will
be sufficient
for our purposes (study of black hole type solutions).

 On the bosonic
background where dilatino $\chi$ and
the Rarita-Schwinger fields vanish, one can
show that
the gravity and dilaton part of the Lagrangian have
the following form:
\begin{eqnarray}
\label{gdlag}
&&\inv{C(\Phi)\otimes W}  \nonumber \\
&&= e\left[-C(\phi)\left(S^2 +{1 \over 2}R\right)
-C'(\phi)FS\right] \ , \nonumber \\
&& \inv{\Phi\otimes\Phi\otimes T_P(Z(\Phi))} \nonumber \\
&&=e\left[\phi^2\tilde\Box(Z(\phi))
+ 2Z'(\phi)\phi F^2\right] \ , \nonumber \\
&& \inv{Z(\Phi)\otimes\Phi \otimes T_P(\Phi)} \nonumber \\
&&=e\left[Z(\phi)\phi\tilde\Box\phi
+ Z'(\phi)\phi F^2 + Z(\phi)F^2 \right] \ , \nonumber \\
&& \inv{V(\Phi)} \nonumber \\
&& = e\left[ V'(\phi)F  + SV(\phi)\right]\ .
\end{eqnarray}
For matter part we obtain
\begin{eqnarray}
\label{bg}
&&\inv{f(\Phi)\otimes \Sigma_i\otimes T_P(\Sigma_i)} \nonumber \\
&&=e\left[ f(\phi)(a_i\tilde\Box a_i
-\bar\xi_i\tilde\DS\xi_i ) + f'(\phi)Fa_iG_i
+ f(\phi)G_i^2\right] \ , \nonumber \\
&& \inv{\Sigma_i\otimes\Sigma_i\otimes T_P(f(\Phi))} \nonumber \\
&&=e\left[a_i^2\tilde\Box(f(\phi))
+ 2f'(\phi)Fa_iG_i\right]\ .
\end{eqnarray}
Here
the covariant derivatives for the multiplet
$(\varphi, \zeta, H)$ with $\lambda=0$ are
reduced to
\begin{eqnarray}
\label{covdrv2}
\tilde D_\mu \varphi&=&\partial_\mu \varphi \ , \nonumber \\
\tilde D_\mu \zeta &=& \left( \partial_\mu +
{1 \over 2}\omega_\mu \gamma_5\right)\zeta \ , \nonumber \\
\tilde\Box \varphi &=& e^{-1}
\partial_\nu(e g^{\mu\nu}\partial_\mu \varphi) \ .
\end{eqnarray}
 Using equations of motion with respect to
the auxilliary fields $S$, $F$, $G_i$,
 on the bosonic background one can show that
\begin{eqnarray}
\label{bgaf}
S&=&{C'(\phi)V'(\phi) - 2V(\phi)Z(\phi)
\over {C'}^2(\phi) + 4C(\phi) Z (\phi)} \ , \nonumber \\
F&=&{C'(\phi) V(\phi)+ 2 C(\phi)V'(\phi)
\over {C'}^2(\phi) + 4C(\phi) Z (\phi)} \ , \nonumber \\
G_i&=&0\ .
\end{eqnarray}
 We will be interested in the supersymmetric extension \cite{NO} of
the CGHS model \cite{12} as in specifical example for study
of black holes and Hawking radiation. For such a model
\begin{equation}
\label{CGHS}
C(\phi)=2{\rm e}^{-2\phi}\ ,\ \ Z(\phi)=4{\rm e}^{-2\phi}\ ,
\ \ V(\phi)=4{\rm e}^{-2\phi}\ ,
\end{equation}
we find
\begin{equation}
\label{CGHSaf}
S=0\ ,\ \ F=-\lambda\ ,\ \ G_i=0\ .
\end{equation}

Using (\ref{bg}), we can show that
\begin{eqnarray}
\label{lag2}
&& \sum_{i=1}^N
\left\{{1 \over 2}
\inv{\Sigma_i\otimes\Sigma_i\otimes T_P(f(\Phi))}
-\inv{f(\Phi)\otimes \Sigma_i\otimes T_P(\Sigma_i)}\right\} \nonumber \\
&&=ef(\phi)\sum_{i=1}^N
(g^{\mu\nu}\partial_\mu a_i \partial_\nu a_i
+\bar\xi_i\gamma^\mu\partial_\mu\xi_i
-f(\phi)G_i^2) \nonumber \\
&& + \ \mbox{total divergence terms}\ .
\end{eqnarray}
Here we have used the fact that
\begin{equation}
\label{maj}
\bar\xi_i \gamma_5 \xi=0
\end{equation}
for the Majorana spinor $\xi_i$.

Let us start now the investigation of effective action
in above theory. It is clearly seen that theory
(\ref{lag2}) is conformally invaiant on the
gravitational background under discussion.
Then using standard methods, we can prove that theory
with matter multiplet $\Sigma_i$ is superconformally
invariant theory.
First of all, one can find trace anomaly $T$
for the theory (\ref{lag2}) on gravitational
background using the following relation
\begin{equation}
\label{gamma}
\Gamma_{div}={1 \over n-2}\int d^2x \sqrt g b_2\ , \
\ \ \ T=b_2
\end{equation}
where $b_2$ is $b_2$ coefficient of
Schwinger-De Witt expansion and $\Gamma_{div}$
is one-loop effective action.
The calculation of $\Gamma_{div}$ (\ref{gamma}) for
quantum theory with Lagrangian (\ref{lag2}) has
been done some time ago in ref.\cite{6}.
Using results of this work, we find
\begin{eqnarray}
\label{tracean}
T&=&{1 \over 24\pi}\left\{{3 \over 2}NR
- 3N\left({f'' \over f} - {{f'}^2 \over 2f^2}\right)
(\nabla^\lambda\phi)(\nabla_\lambda\phi) \right. \nonumber \\
&& \left. - 3N{f' \over f}\Delta\phi\right\}
\end{eqnarray}
It is remarkable that Majorana spinors do not give
the contribution to the dilaton dependent terms in
trace anomaly as it was shown in \cite{6}.
They only alter the coefficient of curvature
term in $T$ (\ref{tracean}).
Hence, except the coefficient of curvature term in
$T$ (\ref{tracean}), the trace anomaly (\ref{tracean})
coincides with the correspondent expression for dilaton
coupled scalar \cite{4}.
Note also that for particular case
$f(\phi)={\rm e}^{-2\phi}$ the trace anomaly for
dilaton coupled scalar has been recently calculated in
refs.\cite{5}.

Making now the conformal transformation of the
metric $g_{\mu\nu}\rightarrow {\rm e}^{2\sigma}g_{\mu\nu}$
in the trace anomaly, and using relation:
\begin{equation}
\label{TW}
T={1 \over \sqrt g}{\delta \over \delta \sigma}
W[\sigma]
\end{equation}
one can find anomaly induced action $W[\sigma]$.
In the covariant, non-local form it may be found as
following:
\begin{equation}
\label{qc}
W=-{1 \over 2}\int d^2x \sqrt{g} \Bigl[
{N \over 32\pi}R{1 \over \Delta}R
-{N \over 16\pi}{{f'}^2 \over f^2}
\nabla^\lambda \phi
\nabla_\lambda \phi {1 \over \Delta}R
-{N \over 8\pi}\ln f R \Bigr]\ .
\end{equation}
Hence, we got the anomaly induced effective action
for dilaton coupled matter multiplet in the
external dilaton-gravitational background.
We should note that the same action $W$ (\ref{qc})
gives the one-loop large-$N$ effective action in the
quantum theory of supergravity with matter (\ref{lag})
(i.e., when all fields are quantized).

We can now rewrite $W$ in a supersymmetric way.
In order to write down the effective action expressing
the trace anomaly, we need the supersymmetric extention
of ${ 1 \over \Delta}R$. The extension is given by
using the inverse kinetic multiplet in \cite{MNSN},
or equivalently by introducing two auxiliary field
$\Theta=(t,\theta,T)$ and $\Upsilon=(u,\upsilon,U)$.
We can now construct the following action
\begin{equation}
\label{TU}
\inv{\Theta\otimes (T_P(\Upsilon)-W)}\ .
\end{equation}
The $\Theta$-equation of motion tells that, in the
superconformal gauge (\ref{scgauge})
\begin{equation}
\label{rp}
u\sim \rho \sim -{1 \over 2\Delta}R
\ , \ \ \ \upsilon\sim \psi\ .
\end{equation}
Then we find
\begin{eqnarray}
\label{actions}
&& \sqrt g R{1 \over \Delta}R\sim
4\inv{W\otimes \Upsilon} \nonumber \\
&& \sqrt g {{f'}^2(\phi) \over f^2(\phi)}
\nabla_\lambda\phi \nabla^\lambda \phi
{1 \over \Delta}R \nonumber \\
&& \sim -\inv{\Phi\otimes\Phi
\otimes T_P\left({{f'}^2(\Phi) \over f^2(\Phi)}
\otimes \Upsilon \right)}\nonumber \\
&& \hskip 1cm + 2\inv{{{f'}^2(\Phi) \over f^2(\Phi)}
\otimes \Upsilon \otimes \Phi \otimes T_P(\Phi)} \ , \nonumber \\
&& \sqrt g \ln f(\phi) \, R\sim
2\inv{\ln f(\Phi)\otimes W}\ .
\end{eqnarray}
In components,
\begin{eqnarray}
\label{comTU}
&&\inv{\Theta\otimes (T_P(\Upsilon)-W)} \nonumber \\
&& =e\left[ t\left( \Box u + {1 \over 2}R

\psi_\nu \right] \ .\nonumber \\
\end{eqnarray}
Here
\begin{equation}
\label{h}
h(\phi)\equiv\ln f(\phi) \ .
\end{equation}

That finishes the construction of large-$N$ supersymmetric
anomaly induced effective
action for 2d dilatonic supergravity with matter.

At the end of the present section, we will find the
one-loop effective action (its divergent part) for the whole quantum theory (\ref{gdlag}), (\ref{bg}) on the
bosonic background under discussion. Using
Eqs. (\ref{gdlag}), (\ref{bg}), one can write the
complete Lagrangian as following:
\begin{eqnarray}
\label{clag}
e^{-1}L&=-& \Bigl( \tilde V + \tilde C R
+ {1 \over 2}\tilde Z (\nabla_\mu\phi)(\nabla^\mu \phi)
\nonumber \\
&& - f(\phi)\sum_{i=1}^N\left((\nabla_\mu a_i)
(\nabla^\mu a_i) + \bar\xi_i \gamma^\mu \partial_\mu
\xi_i \right)
\end{eqnarray}
where
\begin{eqnarray}
\label{tilpot}
-\tilde V &=& -CS^2 - C'FS + 2Z'\phi F^2 + Z'\phi F^2
+ZF^2 \nonumber \\
&& + V'F + SV\ , \nonumber \\
\tilde C &=&{C \over 2}\ , \nonumber \\
2\tilde Z &=& 3\phi Z' + Z
\end{eqnarray}
where auxilliary fields equations of motion which
lead to (\ref{bgaf}) should be used.

The calculation of the one-loop effective action
for the theory (\ref{clag}) has been given in
ref.\cite{6} in the harmonic gauge with the
following result
\begin{eqnarray}
\label{Gamma2}
\Gamma_{div}&=&-{1 \over 4\pi(n-2)}
\int d^2x \sqrt g \left\{ {48-3N \over 12}R
+ {2 \over \tilde C}\tilde V
+ {2 \over \tilde C'}\tilde V' \right. \nonumber \\
&& + \left({\tilde C'' \over \tilde C}
- {3\tilde {C'}^2 \over \tilde C^2}
- {\tilde C'' \tilde Z \over \tilde {C'}^2}
- {N{f'}^2 \over 4 f^2}
+ {N f'' \over 2f}\right)(\nabla^\lambda\phi)
(\nabla_\lambda\phi) \\
&& + \left. \left({\tilde C' \over \tilde C}
- {\tilde Z \over \tilde C'}
+ { Nf' \over 2f}\right) \Delta \phi
-\left({3f\tilde Z \over 4\tilde {C'}^2}
+{3f \over 4\tilde C} -{f' \over \tilde C'}\right)
\sum_{i=1}^N\bar\xi_i\gamma^\mu\partial_\mu\xi_i
\right\} .\nonumber
\end{eqnarray}
Thus, we found the one-loop effective action for
dilatonic supergravity with matter on bosonic
background.
Of course, the contribution of fermionic
superpartners is missing there.
However, Eq.(\ref{Gamma2}) gives also the divergent
one-loop effective action in large-$N$ approximation
(one should keep only terms with multiplier $N$).
This effective action may be used also for construction
of renormalization group improved effective
Lagrangians and study of their properties like
BH solutions in ref.\cite{NO2}.

\section{Black holes in supersymmetric
extension of CGHS model
with matter back reaction}

In the present section we discuss the particular 2d
dilatonic supergravity model which represents
the supersymmetric extension of CGHS model. Note
that as a matter we use dilaton coupled matter supermultiplet.
We would like to estimate back-reaction of such matter
supermultiplet to black holes and Hawking radiation
working in large-$N$ approximation.
Since we are interesting in the vacuum (black hole)
solution, we consider the background where
matter fields, the Rarita-Schwinger field and
dilatino vanish.

In the superconformal gauge
the equations of motion can be obtained by the variation
over $g^{\pm\pm}$, $g^{\pm\mp}$ and $\phi$
\begin{eqnarray}
\label{eqnpp}
0&=&T_{\pm\pm} \nonumber \\
&=&{\rm e}^{-2\phi}\left(4\partial_\pm \rho
\partial_\pm\phi - 2 \left(\partial_\pm\phi\right)^2
\right) \nonumber \\
&& +{N \over 8}\left( \partial_\pm^2 \rho
- \partial_\pm\rho \partial_\pm\rho \right) \nonumber \\
&& +{N \over 8} \left\{
\left(
\partial_\pm h(\phi) \partial_\pm h(\phi) \right)
\rho+{1 \over 2}{\partial_\pm \over \partial_\mp}
\left( \partial_\pm h(\phi)
\partial_\mp h(\phi) \right)\right\} \nonumber \\
&& +{N \over 8}\left\{
-2 \partial_\pm \rho \partial_\pm h(\phi)
+\partial_\pm^2 h(\phi) \right\} + t^\pm(x^\pm) \nonumber \\
&& + {N \over 64}{\partial_\pm \over \partial_\mp}
\left( h'(\phi)^2F^2 \right) \ , \\
\label{req}
0&=&T_{\pm\mp} \nonumber \\
&=&{\rm e}^{-2\phi}\left(2\partial_+
\partial_- \phi -4 \partial_+\phi\partial_-\phi
- \lambda^2 {\rm e}^{2\rho}\right) \nonumber \\
&& -{N \over 8}\partial_+\partial_- \rho
-{N \over 16}\partial_+ h(\phi)
\partial_- h(\phi)
-{N \over 8}\partial_+\partial_-h(\phi) \nonumber \\
&& -{N \over 64}h'(\phi)^2F^2
+\left({N \over 16}US
+ {N \over 2}(-h(\phi)S^2 + h'(\phi)FS)\right){\rm e}^{2\rho} \ , \\
\label{eqtp}
0&=& {\rm e}^{-2\phi}\left(-4\partial_+
\partial_- \phi +4 \partial_+\phi\partial_-\phi
+2\partial_+ \partial_- \rho
+ \lambda^2 {\rm e}^{2\rho}\right) \nonumber \\
&& -{Nf' \over f}\left\{
{1 \over 16}\partial_+(\rho \partial_-h(\phi))
+{1 \over 16}\partial_-(\rho \partial_+h(\phi))
-{1 \over 8}\partial_+\partial_-\rho \right\} \ .
\end{eqnarray}
Here $t^\pm(x^\pm)$ is a function which is determined by
the boundary condition.
Note that there is, in general, a contribution from
the auxilliary fields to $T_{\pm\mp}$ besides the
contribution from the trace anomaly.

In large-$N$ limit, where
classical part can be ignored, field equations
become simpler
\begin{eqnarray}
\label{eqnpp2}
0&=&{1 \over N}T_{\pm\pm} \nonumber \\
&=&{1 \over 8}\left( \partial_\pm^2 \rho
- \partial_\pm\rho \partial_\pm\rho \right) \nonumber \\
&& +{1 \over 8} \left\{
\left(
\partial_\pm h(\phi) \partial_\pm h(\phi) \right)
\rho+{1 \over 2}{\partial_\pm \over \partial_\mp}
\left( \partial_\pm h(\phi)
\partial_\mp h(\phi) \right)\right\} \nonumber \\
&& +{1 \over 8}\left\{
-2 \partial_\pm \rho \partial_\pm h(\phi)
+\partial_\pm^2 h(\phi) \right\} + t^\pm(x^\pm) \ , \\
\label{req2}
0&=&{1 \over N}T_{\pm\mp} \nonumber \\
&=& -{1 \over 8}\partial_+\partial_- \rho
-{1 \over 16}\partial_+ h(\phi)
\partial_- \tilde \phi
-{1 \over 8}\partial_+\partial_-h(\phi) \\
\label{eqtp2}
0&=&{1 \over 16}\partial_+(\rho \partial_-h(\phi))
+{1 \over 16}\partial_-(\rho \partial_+h(\phi))
-{1 \over 8}\partial_+\partial_-\rho\ .
\end{eqnarray}
Here we used the $\Theta$-equation and the equations
for the auxilliary fields $S$ and $F$, i.e.,
\begin{equation}
\label{eqs}
U=S\ ,\ \ u=\rho=-{1 \over 2\Delta}R\ ,\ \ S=F=0\ .
\end{equation}
The function $t^\pm(x^\pm)$ in (\ref{eqnpp2})
can be absorbed into
the choice of the coordinate and we can choose
\begin{equation}
\label{tpm}
t^\pm(x^\pm)=0\ .
\end{equation}
Combining (\ref{eqnpp2}) and (\ref{req2}),
we obtain
\begin{equation}
\label{eqcm}
-{1 \over 2}(\partial_\pm \rho)^2
+{1 \over 2}\rho(\partial_\pm h(\phi))^2
-\partial_\pm \rho \partial_\pm h(\phi) =0
\end{equation}
i.e.,
\begin{equation}
\label{eqpa}
\partial_\pm h(\phi)
= {1 + \sqrt{1 + \rho}
\over \rho}\partial_\pm \rho \ \mbox{ or }\
{1 - \sqrt{1 + \rho}
\over \rho}\partial_\pm \rho \ .
\end{equation}
This tells that
\begin{equation}
\label{phi}
h(\phi)= \int d\rho {1 \pm
\sqrt{1 + \rho} \over \rho} \ .
\end{equation}
Substituting (\ref{phi}) into (\ref{eqtp2}),
we obtain
\begin{equation}
\label{ppm}
\partial_+ \partial_-\left\{
\left(1 + \rho\right)^{3 \over 2}\right\}=0
\end{equation}
i.e.,
\begin{equation}
\label{rho}
\rho=-1 +
\left(\rho^+(x^+) + \rho^-(x^-)\right)^{2 \over 3}\ .
\end{equation}
Here $\rho^\pm$ is an arbitrary function of
$x^\pm = t \pm x$.
We can straightforwardly confirm that the solutions
(\ref{phi}) and (\ref{rho}) satisfy (\ref{req2}).
The scalar curvature is given by
\begin{eqnarray}
\label{sR}
R&=&8{\rm e}^{-2\rho}\partial_+\partial_-\rho \nonumber \\
&=& -4{{\rm e}^{-2\left\{
-1+\left(\rho^+(x^+)+\rho^-(x^-)\right)^{2 \over 3}
\right\}} \over
\left(\rho^+(x^+)+\rho^-(x^-)
\right)^{{4 \over 3}}}{\rho^+}'(x^+){\rho^-}'(x^-)\ .
\end{eqnarray}
Note that when $\rho^+(x^+)+\rho^-(x^-)=0$,
there is a curvature singularity.
Especially if we choose
\begin{equation}
\label{Krus}
\rho^+(x^+)={r_0 \over x^+}\ ,\ \
\rho^-(x^-)=-{x^- \over r_0}
\end{equation}
there are curvature singularities at $x^+x^-=r_0^2$ and
horizon at $x^+=0$ or $x^-=0$.
Hence we got black hole solution in the model
under discussion.
The asymptotic flat
regions are given by $x^+\rightarrow +\infty$ ($x^-<0$)
or $x^-\rightarrow -\infty$ ($x^+>0$).
Therefore we can regard $x^\pm$ as corresponding to
the Kruskal coordinates in 4 dimensions.

We now consider the Hawking radiation.
The quantum part of the energy momentum tensor
for the generalized dilatonic supergravity is given by
\begin{eqnarray}
\label{Tppe}
T^q_{\pm\pm}&=&{N \over 8}\left( \partial_\pm^2 \rho
- \partial_\pm\rho \partial_\pm\rho \right) \nonumber \\
&& +{N \over 8} \left\{
\left(\partial_\pm h(\phi) \partial_\pm
h(\phi) \right)\rho
+{1 \over 2}{\partial_\pm \over \partial_\mp}
\left( \partial_\pm h(\phi)
\partial_\mp h(\phi)
\right)\right\} \nonumber \\
&& +{N \over 8}\left\{
-2 \partial_\pm \rho \partial_\pm h(\phi)
+\partial_\pm^2 h(\phi) \right\} \nonumber \\
&&+ {N \over 64}{\partial_\pm \over \partial_\mp}
\left( h'(\phi)^2F^2 \right) + t(x^\pm) \ , \\
\label{Tpm2}
T^q_{\pm\mp}&=& -{N \over 8}\partial_+\partial_- \rho
-{N \over 16}\partial_+ h(\phi) \partial_-
h(\phi)
-{N \over 8}\partial_+\partial_- h(\phi) \nonumber \\
&& -{N \over 64}h'(\phi)^2F^2
+\left({N \over 16}US
+ {N \over 2}(-h(\phi)S^2 + h'(\phi)FS)\right){\rm e}^{2\rho} \ .
\end{eqnarray}
Here we consider the bosonic background and
put the fermionic fields to be zero.
We now investigate the case that
\begin{equation}
\label{BHch}
f(\phi)={\rm e}^{\alpha\phi}\ \  (h(\phi)=\alpha\phi)\ .
\end{equation}
Substituting the classical black hole solution
which appeared in the original CGHS model \cite{12}
\begin{eqnarray}
\label{sws}
\rho&=&-{1 \over 2}\ln \left(1 + {M \over \lambda}
{\rm e}^{\lambda (\sigma^--\sigma^+ )} \right) \ , \\
\phi&=&- {1 \over 2}\ln \left( {M \over \lambda}
+ {\rm e}^{\lambda(\sigma^+ - \sigma^-)} \right)  \ .
\end{eqnarray}
(Here $M$ is the mass of the black hole and we used asymptotic flat
coordinates.)
and using eq.(\ref{CGHSaf}),
we find
\begin{eqnarray}
\label{Tmsw}
T^q_{+-} &=& {N\lambda^2 \over 64}(4+4\alpha+\alpha^2)
{1 \over \left( 1 + {M \over \lambda^2} \nonumber \\
&& -{N\lambda^2 \over 16}(1+\alpha){1 \over \left( 1 + {M \over \lambda}
-{N\lambda^2\alpha^2 \over 64}  \ , \nonumber \\
T^q_{\pm\pm}
&=&-{N\lambda^2 \over 32} \left\{ 1 - {1 \over \left( 1 + {M \over \lambda^2}
\right\} \nonumber \\
&&-{N\lambda^2\alpha^2 \over 16}{\ln \left( 1 + {M \over \lambda - 1 \over \left( 1 + {M \over \lambda^2}
+t^\pm (\sigma^\pm) \ .
\end{eqnarray}
Then when $\sigma^+\rightarrow +\infty$, the energy
momentum tensor behaves as
\begin{eqnarray}
\label{asT}
T^q_{+-}&\rightarrow& 0
 \ ,\nonumber \\
T^q_{\pm\pm}&\rightarrow& {N\lambda^2 \over 16}
\alpha^2 + t^\pm(\sigma^\pm)\ .
\end{eqnarray}
In order to evaluate $t^\pm(\sigma^\pm)$,
we impose a boundary condition that
there is no incoming energy.
 This condition requires that $T^q_{++}$
should vanish at the past null infinity
($\sigma^-\rightarrow -\infty$) and if we assume $t^-(\sigma^-)$ is
black hole mass independent,
$T^q_{--}$ also should vanish at
the past horizon ($\sigma^+\rightarrow -\infty$) after taking
$M \rightarrow 0$ limit.
Then we find
\begin{equation}
\label{t-}
t^-(\sigma^-)=-{N\lambda^2\alpha^2 \over 16}
\end{equation}
and one obtains
\begin{equation}
\label{rad}
T^q_{--}\rightarrow 0
\end{equation}
at the future null infinity
($\sigma^+\rightarrow +\infty$).
Eqs.(\ref{asT}) and (\ref{rad}) might
tell that there is no
Hawking radiation in the dilatonic supergravity model
under discussion when quantum back-reaction of
matter supermultiplet in large-$N$ approach
is taken into account. (That indicates that
above black hole is extremal one).
This might be the result of the positive energy theorem \cite{PS}.
If Hawking radiation is positive and mass independent, the energy
of the system becomes unbounded below. On the other hand, the negative
radiation cannot be accepted physically.
Of course, this result may be changed in next order of large-$N$
approximation or in other models of dilatonic supergravity.
From another side since we work in strong coupling regime
it could be that new methods to study Hawking radiation should be
developed.

\section{Discussion}

In summary, we studied 2d dilatonic supergravity with dilaton coupled
matter and dilaton supermultiplets.
Some results of this work have been shortly reported in \cite{NOsdg}.
Trace anomaly and induced effective
action for matter supermultiplet as well as large-$N$ effective action
for dilatonic supergravity are calculated. Using these results one
can estimate matter quantum corrections in the study of black holes
and their properties like Hawking radiation. Such study is presented
on the example of supersymmetric CGHS model which corresponds to
specific choice of generalized dilatonic couplings in the initial
theory. Similarly, one can investigate quantum spherical collapse
for different 4d or higher-dimensional supergravities using 2d models.

It is interesting to note that there are following directions to
generalize our work. First of all, one can consider extended 2d
supergravities with dilaton coupled matter. General structure
of trace anomaly and effective action will be the same. Second,
one can consider other types of black hole solutions in the
model under discussion with arbitrary dilaton couplings. Unfortunately,
since such models are not exactly solvable one should usually
apply numerical methods for study of black holes and their properties.
Third, it could be important to discuss the well-known C-theorem
for dilaton dependent trace anomaly. We hope to investigate some of these
questions in near future.

Presenting the first comprehensive survey of Banksy's work in Germany, Munich-based Galerie Kronsbein's upcoming exhibition "Banksy King of Urban Art" will showcase originals and editions by the mysterious and celebrated British street artist.
Opening on April 14 and gathering over 40 works, the show will include highlights such as Banksy's Gangster Rat and Paparazzi Rat stencils, as well as his homage to the great street art pioneer Keith Haring. Also on view will be two original versions of Toxic Mary, which depict the Virgin Mary feeding baby Jesus with toxic fluid.
Other well-known originals such as Balloon Girl and Heavy Weapons will also be on display at the exhibition in southern Germany, and visitors and collectors can also look forward to seeing Banksy's portrait of super model Kate Moss à la Andy Warhol in the flesh.
"Banksy is the Andy Warhol of urban art," gallery director Sarah Kronsbein told artnet News in a telephone conversation. "He's responsible for establishing urban art in art history. "We want to show a cross-section of his work, and show key pieces that guide the viewer through Banksy's world," she added.
The Munich exhibition will be of particular interest to German collectors and street art enthusiasts, since Germany's last remaining Banksy muralwas destroyed by vandals in Hamburg in February 2015.
Banksy has built a reputation for his witty and ironic comments on social injustice and contemporary society, completing a seemingly seamless transition from illegal graffiti vandal to contemporary art darling.
Indeed, nobody straddles art market legitimacy and street credibility quite like the anonymous British artist. Banksy carefully maintains his street credibility by tirelessly pursuing his original guerrilla vocation. Recent examples include Banksy's stencil-based comments on the ongoing European refugee crisis, which popped up in "the jungle" refugee camp in Calais, northern France, and in London.
Meanwhile, the air of mystery around the artist only increases his market price. Rare original works can fetch up to six figures at auction, and now German collectors have the opportunity to get their hands on his works in their home country.


The show in St. Louis, Mo. started out with a VIP event for fans. VIP ticket holders had the opportunity to attend a short acoustic set by Hands Like Houses and interact on a more personal level. Fans of all ages were in attendance, a few young children ran around the venue as it started to fill for the show. The bands traveling as support for the tour fit the bill perfectly, each one having a complementary style to match the HLH rock vibe.
When Hands Like Houses took the stage, everyone packed in to get the best view possible. HLH performed many songs off of their new album and fans sang and jumped around the whole set. The band was very interactive with their fans as well as the photographers in attendance, making for an amazing show all around!
Hands Like Houses continues their U.S. tour through December 9th, check out the link below to see where they will be and don't forget to check out the new album '-Anon' out now!

On behalf of the staff and board of directors of OVEC, I extend our deepest condolences to the family and loved ones of Peter Slavin. His loss is profound for anyone who knew him well. Soft-spoken, kind, curious, thoughtful, and intelligent, Peter was that and much more.
I was fortunate enough to meet Peter during my time with OVEC as we worked to end mountaintop removal coal mining in Central Appalachia. Peter had more than a passing interest in this issue and its horrific impacts on people, communities and the land; he took the time to get to know folks on a deeper level and wrote about our issues for many years. During that time, he developed long-term relationships with community members and activists in West Virginia. His stories were a concrete contribution to everyone's efforts.
Once when he visited West Virginia, he met me at my favorite birding locale— he place that helped launch my environmental career—where we just walked and talked for a couple of hours. Peter really took time to know me (and so many others). He was a frequent face at rallies, protests, major public hearings, and even social gatherings with activists and community members. After different catastrophes (West Virginia seems to have more than its fair share), Peter would check in via email to see how folks were fairing, like after the June 29, 2012 derecho that left most of the state without electricity or the June 23, 2016, flooding that devastated the town of Richwood, WV. He went to Richwood to learn how the community was responding to the disaster and wrote about it. His brand of journalism is rare and that's why he was highly respected and so well-received here. Like the folks struggling in Appalachia against the injustices here, Peter was in it for the long-haul.
And, Peter was humble and a gentleman. In all the years of knowing him, I can't recall that he ever spoke about his remarkable education, career, or military service. The world was a better place because he was in it. We will truly miss him. My sincere condolences to all of his loves. May you find comfort and solace in the sweet memories of him that you hold in your hearts. RIP dear Peter.
Find some of Peter's articles here.

Janet, a beautiful tribute to Peter. So true. I just wish there more like him.


Ha! I seem to be having a week of being right. I just tested out the webcam/digicam at work and it works just fine. The software I've got is designed purely for digicams, but using the power of scripting it's easy enough to get it to grab a pic, download it and then delete it.
Yes - I'm not very good at taking photographs of myself.
Ah! I see what I did wrong. I saved it in the wrong format - stupid gfx viewer. All fixed now.
