He is Psychometric: Episode 6 Live Recap
Korean Drama He is Psychometric, courtesy tvN
I kind of love that Ahn wrapped the murderer up in a curtain without realizing that that is what he did. Now – how long with said murderer stay in the curtain? Because I don't think Ahn can run away all that quickly with his stabby stab wound and it looks like everyone that works is on a permanent coffee break. So who will come and help! My guess is his brother, but you know I like the dramatic suspense.

2005 DECEMBER 3RD, 18:25
We are at the apartment complex. Little Sungmo is looking out his peephole in their very locked apartment. Their door has so many bolts on it. Sungmo tells his mom that "he" came by. Can you promise me to do what I tell you? You should follow what I say.
The man walks through the apartment hall and to the apartment. The door is open and it is dark inside. He looks in and turns on the lights as he looks in all the rooms. Then he pulls out a knife.
In the present, Sungmo looks out over the highway. Jisoo tells him that he knows who did it. Sungo thinks about the man looking at his car and of Lee Ahn telling him of the man that was following him and also of his mother saying that she might have to die for it to end and of Ahn saying that he will protect him after he got stabbed.
Cut to the hospital hallway. The killer walks up the hallway and to Lee Ahn's room. He goes inside while spooky music plays. Lee Ahn smiles and hops up carefully to surprise his brother. Then he wraps the bad guy in the curtain and holds his stomach in pain.
Ahn – Why were you so late? I was waiting for you for a long time.
JI – Can you release me?
It is Jae-in! So he unravels her quickly, she spins out and keeps her from falling with his back. He tells her that he knows how to do a lot of things without touching over the years. They both sit and chat on his bed. She says that she is worried that she might become stupid like him, she hopes that we won't become dumb training him. I came here to tell you that, lets do it.
She stands and asks him if they can do her fathers case when she thinks his level is up to it? He says yes. They shake hands but they both cover their hands to shake. The bad guy watches them from
Sungmo tells the team that they are going to investigate two Kang Heesoo's the real one found on the river and the fake one that was in the nursing home. Their sidekick guy, Seung-yong, thinks that the fake one might be the killer. Jisoo thinks that they need to be open to all the possibilities. She will take care of the fake Kang heesoo, the one with a thin ring. Seungho says that there is no record of a thin ring, who saw that? Jisoo tells him that he does not have to know, she will find someone.
Sungmo stands and says that they can share all the information (he uses banmal to her but she might have said it first). She is a bit stunned. Seungyong asks if he used banmal to her? Jisoo says it wasn't her halucination? Seungyong says that he used it to be friends right? That is normally what happens? But people usually don't like using it all of a sudden. Are you happy?
She is super happy.
Seungyong stands up to head out
In the hospital, Ahn walks Jaein out. She tells him to find her when he gets out of the hospital. He says that it does not matter, he does it for her anyway. He smiles and waves his goodbye. Then he goes back inside his room and touches the curtain that he wrapped her in to relive it. He also gets a little touch of her on the inside of the curtain looking caught off guard. He laughs and wraps himself in it happily.
He gets out of the curtains and sees a lunch bag and a cel phone on his table.
SM: You should have a lot of questions but I am not ready to answer, just eat well.
Elsewhere, Jaein waits at the bus stop and thinks about Lee Ahn. But then Sungmo drives up so she hops in and gets a ride home. In the car, JI says that ahn told her that memory is a medicine case, he does not know if he is picking up medicine of poison. I am also not sure what is in my medicine case.
Sungmo says that is what he wants also. Jaein asks who stabbed Ahn? Someone who was following you for a long time? SM says he does not know who that person is. What he does know is that he is not going to leave it alone anymore.
In the station, Seungyong shows Jisoo CCTV images of the man who was driving the truck. He contacted the truck company but they do not know who this man is. There was also no CCTV in the location that Ahn was stabbed. Jisoo thinks that they need to at least see the face of the suspect, Kang should have seen the face already.
At the same time, Kang takes Jaein to his office and gives her all his notes on Ahn's ability. He wrote a lot about it and tells Jaein that she should do it from now on. Jaein asks how much of his ability she should develop? He says that the end of the mission is when Ahn can use his psychometry on him (Sungmo).
In the hospital, Ahn eats the lunch happily.
The next morning, Jaein sets off to meet her father in jail. She might be chewing on a candy that she takes out. He says that he hasn't seen her in awhile, it is nice to see you. I heard it from Emo that you became a policeman, that is good, good, my daughter.
She tells him that he should say sorry and she will cry and it is difficult for her going home, she hated that, that is why she didn't come there. He says he knows. She tells him that she will try it, she will investigate everything that happened. I thought about living my own life without thinking about you, but this is not taken care of so I cannot do anything, it is all messed up.
He tells her to live her own life, he is enough of a victim. She tells him that she heard that his parole request is always denied. You do it on purpose right? You think it is better to stay here because if you go outside then it will affect me. Will you live here forever until you die?
Her appa grows a bit stoic and tells her not to come back. He stands and says that he killed all those people in the apartment, then he leaves.
Jaein leaves the jail and alsmost has a panic attack next to some bushes. But she is able to stop herself when she sees Sungmo's notebook in her bag.
In the hospital, Ahn starts to put on his clothing whenDaebong shows up and pulls his curtain away. Ahn is so upset that he touched his curtain with his drity hand! He tries to touch the curtain to see Jaein again, but it is all gone.
They both go to check Ahn out. The nurse tells him that Sungmo already paid for it all. Ahn says his brother paid for it? The nurse all of a sudden is so nice to him, oh…that is your brother? Daebong tells him that he leads a good life, his brother pays for everything.
Then they go outside and Daebong gives his mustand a big hug and asks if he missed him…he didn't give you a hard time did he? They both hop in.
Meanwhile, Jaein reads a lot of books about mysterious abilities and psychiatric powers and all those things. She also reads Sungmo's journal.
SM – An orphan boy came in to the orphanage. He lost his mother at the theme park. But Ahn psychometried him and found the address. But, the kid was abandoned by his parents, not missing. (the kid goes to his home and his parents are not there). The police found the parents, but they did not take the kid. (Ahn tries to comfort the kid back at the orphanage).
SM – I think being able to see his ability is too much for him. The world he sees does not have truth or happiness, it is all lies. (he sees Ahn crying and looking at his hand)
Jaein thinks, that's what happened.
Elsewhere, Daebong and ahn drive to see Sohyun who is working next to the police station that Jaein works at. Ahn goes in to see Jaein and Daebong happily looks at Sohyun working.
Inside, Jaein gives Ahn something to eat, he is so happy to eat it, but then he realizes that it is too spicy. She tells him that she put a spicy mustard inside the dukk, but you didn't see it. I failed the dduk psychometry. She then drinks the tea, but it was fish sauce instead of tea. She says he second psychometry failed.
He asks what she wants, do you think if I drink coffee then I can see coffee beans in Africa? She tells him to come with her. She thought about it a lot, have you heard about that 10,000 hour law? If you spend 10,000 hours doing something (they see Daebong) maybe it is the time you can like someone.
Daebong happily sees Sohyun dancing in front of kids. Jaein then says someone else can be getting better at their work (she sees her aunt working out with the elderly of the community). Then she says, in any case, if you spend 10,000 hours doing something then it will only take 416.67 days if you do it for 24 hours. He tells her that she could have just said 417 days.
She ignores him and asks how long he has had this ability? He says since he was 7. So she tells him that he can spend 3 hours a day doing it and he would have been a specialist. But you wasted that time. He says he had a lot of trial and error, he did not just waste time. She says that he has to study for at least 3 months.
They go to the library where she starts to give him a lot of books. She tells him that she will give him 10 books a day to review. He should write what he learned. At least one line, it does not have to be a comprehensive review.
He says that he thought they would do whatever it takes. She explains that this is whatever it takes. But Ahn hates books that other people have read, do I hat to flip each page one by one? She says that she knows he does and starts talking about things in cartoon books or fantasy novels like Sherlock Holmes or the like. He needs books that explain things. You need to study more because you will see more when you know more. You don't know much, that is why you can't see.
He asks, are you saying that I am stupid without saying it? She says that she is telling him that he is dum to his face. Then she starts to talk about the person in the luggage and how the family might feel and how scary it would be to die like that? This situation is not a situation for you to just show off your ability. She walks away and he follows her with all the books.
Meanwhile, Sooyeon is about to start working on another body in the autopsy room. Jisoo comes in to talk to her. Sooyeon says that she thought everything would work out if they found the name, did you find anything. Jisoo gets her up to speed on everything and says that they need to find the family members first. Sooyeon is pretty bummed that no one is looking for this person. Jisoo tells her that she will stay at her funeral for 3 full days.
Sooyeon is all like, huh? You could die first. Jisoo tells her that she can die first, but you need to come to my funeral. Then they talk about Ahn and whether being stabbed will affect his ability or not? She also says that she would like to go home early and will take a half day off. You get it… the autopsy room will be empty *wink wink*. If you have to come in here then use this automatic door opener. She walks off. Jisoo smiles and mutters that that is why she likes Dr. Hong.
In the library, an alarm starts to beep because a woman has a book that she was about to lift from the library. Jaein gets pulled in since she is there as the only police officer. The woman says that someone put this book in her bag, but the librarian says that this woman does it all the time.
jaein and Ahn start to look through the "crime scene" where the woman says she was sitting and where her backpack was. Ahn psychometries the book on the sly and sees red nails on a woman's hand. The supposed burglar does not have red nails.
But Jaein wants to solve this with her method and asks them a lot of questions. However, ahn picks up the book and says that he saw who put it in her backpack. he dramatically holds up his hands and says that the burglar is the one with red fingers (he does a cartoon like move and smiles).
Jaein walks through and asks to see everyones nails, she does not see anyone with red fingernails. Jaein thinks that criminals always want to see what happens with their crime. One of the girls complains and says that she has to leave. But as she is walking off, she has a pice of nail on her jeans. Sh etelsl them that this is not her!
Ahn psychometries the nail and sees that it just dropped off the criminals nail. But Jaein already knows that she is not the one. She actually already suspected someone. She asks to talk to someone at the window.
The girl at the window talks to her about biting her nails, that is why it is broken. She tells her that she knows that they can get DNA from finger nails, you have a nail left and you are bleeding. Do you want me to make it official and contact you after the DNA test or would you like to say sorry.
The other woman comes up and says that this girl did it? She is obsessed with noise, she puts notes on people who even breath or make any little sound. The girl goes and apologizes to thelibraran and the woman. The woman comes back and shakes Ahn hands. He fins out that this woman doesn't actually study and does make a lot of noise in the lirbrary, like a ton of noise.
Ahn says that he will never do that in the library. But we cut to him sleeping int he library with a lot of notes on him that say, Focus, focus, sleeping is not the best medicine, focus. He wakes up to Jisoo's call.
Ahn runs out. Jisoo is in her car and asks Ahn where he is at? The library? HeyPsychometry is not something you can study. He says he doesn't know, it is his hyung's order for Jaein to train him, so that is it. She wanst to meet him and talk in the autopsy room.
He is so happy. In his exuberance he catches one of the notes on him and sees that Jaein placed them all. He guesses what is writen on the one in his hand "aren't you studying" and he guesses right which makes him so happy. He tells the post it note that he is going to study.
Jaein is actually still in the area and points at Ahn signaling that she is watching him. He motions that he is going to study and dances out of the room.
Int he car, Jisoo thinks that this situation is getting messy with Ahns psychometry. Now three people know. But all that is erased when she sees that SM is on TV again on a big screen on the street. He is on the news talking about the woman that they are looking for information on. If you know her then any information will help.
The reporter says that they saw her at the nursing hospital fire case. SM holds his mic and says that they didn't agree on that. The reporter says that this Kang Heesoo is not that Kanghee soo, did someone disguise their identity? SM says that they cannot say it in public yet. then he leaves in the middle of the interview.
Nam is watching with the aunt and says that he can't just leave the show like that. The aunt thinks that he can and it is so charasmatic. They start to joke to each other about it. Jaein is with them as well thought she does not interfear in their banter back and forth. he aunt and Nam end up leaving and still bantering while Ahn comes in to give her his homework.
She looks through it and wonders what this is? He tells her that they used too many Chinese characters, he can't read it. She asks if he wants to study or not? He telsl her that he will show her a real investigation.
Cut to them both being let into the autopsy room by Jisoo. Jisoo pulls out the body. Jaein looks in anticipation as Jisoo unzips the bag. Jisoo tells them that she does not expect much from this body because he has been here for years and no one knows anything. Do you know the first thing he saw with psychometry? Underwear size. It was from the people that died in the room. The woman disguised as Kang hee soo brought it. The woman with the thin ring.
Jaein asks if it was a fake Kanghee soo? She saw this on the news. Jisoo explains that SM wants to train him, but she will do this training now. They need to find out who killed Kang Heesoo and used her life.
Ahn is about to touch the body, but Jaein says that she can't agree with Jisoo's ways. He might find something out like what she looked like when she died, but it will be cofnusing and he will not know what he is seeing. So we should wait. Show us the data first.
Ahn does not want to wait until he spends 10,000 hours. Jaein just wants JiSoo to share the investigation report. If you give me one hour then I will make Ahn understand the case. He will see more then, I am sure of it. Jisoo says she understands what she is talking about, she will bring the date, wait over here.
She goes to get it and thinks that Jaein is pretty daebak.
Inside, Jaein is pretty shaky from nerves and asks if she was shaking in front of inspector Eun, did she look okay? Ahn says that she looked super cool. Jaein thinks that they can't just leave by touching this body, it is her rare chance to go to the violent team. I must get everything I can out of this. Ahn says that is her mission, to go to the violence team after training me?
Jaein is all like, yeah of course. She says that it is her habit of bragging so she just said this without thinking. He smiles and tells her it's whatever, she can brag as much as she wants from now on. Then they turn their attention back on the body and wonder who she is. They can solve this together.
Jisoo is out getting the things when she runs into Sungmo in the elevator. They ride quietly. But then Jisoo tells him that she saw the TV and starts to speak in banmal. She tells him that he was impressive and it was cool that he threw his mic. He says that he thinks their information leaked, they need to keep their lips a bit tighter. Jisoo says it was not her. He also speaks in banmal. He wants to see Dr. Hong. Ji soo grows nervous and says that she left earlier today.
Sungmo asks her why she has his investigation report then? Jisoo tries to think of something but then says that Ahn and Yoon are in the autopsy room. SM thinks that Yoon is the one that asked for it, Ahn wouldn't have done it. Jisoo agrees, she says that she will not let Ahn psychometry without any information. Sungmo smiles at this.
Jisoo wants to know if Jaein is that person? He doesn't say anything. Jisoo thinks it is an unfair relationship that they have since Sungmo can read her thoughts/feelings but she can't read anything about him. She leaves the elevator. Sungmo holds the elevator door and says that Jaein's father is the one accused of the apartment murders.
In the morgue room, Ahn and Jisoo think about the markings on the back of the head, perhaps she had a head wound. Ahn thinks that he found the body so maybe she wanted to tell him something. Jaein tells him to see something and brag about it. Ahn says that bragging is habitual and contageous (mocking her). She smirks.
Jisoo comes back with the report, but she looks at Jaein differently. Ahn reads the report and sees that Jaein was right! She was bleeding from the back of the head! They high five (but hide their hands) and hip bump. Then they ask Jisoo a lot of questions. It takes Jisoo a moment to snap out of her thoughts about Jaein. She pulls out some more information and then says that Kang is coming. Don't worry, he is not angry, his smile was the most sincere that I have ever seen.
Sungmo is in the face drawing area of the police department as two people try and see if they can figure out what this other woman looked like.
Meanwhile, the bad guy walks through Sungmo's apartment. He looks all around in an eerie way and also sees his photo with his mother and says that he found him.
Back in the police morgue room, Ahn and team are tired of waiting for Sungmo to come. So Ahn psychometries the body. He sees the bad guy coming up to the bodies and he hears him.
VO – He doesn't want to have any problem
He hits her over the head with a mallet.
Ahn wakes up and says that she bleed a lot in the head. There was a dark carrying bag. A huge hammer. And his face! It is the insurance guy (I think). Ahn says it was a man, not the insurance guy.
Jisoo asks what kind of man?
Ahn says he saw him somewhere. He starts to look through the photos and says it was this guy, I am sure of it! Jisoo asks if he is sure? Lee Ahn says he is sure, he did it, he killed Kang hee soo. But Jisoo says he is the witness, but he is also a murderer?
Several flashbacks happen here with the insurance man.
Jisoo says that he remembers it, as soon as he got the phone call from Kang, he was murdered. Ahn holds his head and passes out. Jaein and Jisoo try to shake him awake in panic.
Sungmo comes in right then and sees that Ahn passed out.
In jail, Yoon Tae-ha thinks about his daughter and how she wants to investigate the murder. He is looking out the window. His cell mates say that he is doing it again, just go to sleep. But their guard did his final walking around tof the area so he won't be there anymore, so just go to sleep.
Jae-in's appa goes to his bathroom and tries to kill himself by hanging. Oh no!
In the morgue, Ahn is awake now and tells them what he saw and that someone else is behind it all. Jisoo thinks that someone else asked to commit the murder. She holds out a drawing of a woman and asks if it was this person? maybe she asked for it because she needed a new identity? Well, what we do know is that the insurance guy did this murder. He was a witness int he fire case so perhaps we can't rely on his testimony.
Jaein says that they should start their investigation from the insurance guy because they found the old Kang hee soo and new Kang hee soo from him. They both look at her and says that they were going to say that as well. She apologizes, Sungmo says it is okay, she is on point. If they can't find her then that means they dont have an answer. (Jaein says Chinese terms that are a bit difficult so Ahn does not understand anything, he just smiles).
Ahn tells them to just wait, he will become a new person according to the 10,000 hour law. 416.67 days later. They correct his phrasing.
They all awlk out together. Jaein says that she will train Jaein well. Sungmo and is about to go home. Ahn tells him that they never talked after this wound. He shows his belly. Sungmo says that someone next to him is more urgent. Jisoo takes Sungmo away. Jaein and Ahn are left with Ahn wondering if he is really a hyung? Did you see that?
Ahn and Jaein try to catch the bus or a taxi while Ahn wodners about the bad guy and all the murdered women. Jaein asks him about psychometrying the fake Kang Heesoo with the ring. So you remember anything abou it? He says no, it was two years ago so it would be strange if I did remember it. She says that she remembers everything about him 2 years ago. He is flattered and asks what she means. She smiles and says that he was super strange (or something like that).
But then her aunt calls and tells her not to be too surprised, her voice is shaky. Jaein stands up and says that she needs to catch a taxi! She tries to catch one but then hyperventalates on the street. She does not have her bag with her. Jaein pulls of his coat so she can breath under it. He tells her not to worry, he won't touch her until she is ready.
I love that this "touch" thing with Ahn and Jaein is very closely related to consent. It makes my heart happy. She doesn't want him to know all her emotions and he wants her to feel comfortable around him. In return, they help each other get the information they want. It's great.
He is Psychometric Episode 7 preview above and English translation below
TH – The people in the apartment, I killed them all
JI – Why are you doing this?
Ahn – Hyung, you know who that person is.

SM – I am going to find that guy and kill him.
Notes – Alexitimia: when you cannot express your emotions
JS – Maybe [he/she is] asking for help
VO – When you come next time, prosecutor Kang and inspector Eun will come together.
Ahn – Well is happened anyway, so whoever knows the insurance guy, tell me.

In all honesty, to me, Sungmo hyung sometimes seems suspiciously much like he hangs by Ahn for his ability rather than out of familial love. I have no doubt that he worries and cares for Ahn, but there are these specific moments, expressions mostly, that make it seem almost like Sungmo has ulterior motives.
Obviously, he does. But just how much do the brothers' relationship depend on those very motives? I wonder.
Sungmo is super curious, I wonder about him as well. Though I feel that he is on the side of good intentions.
March 28, 2019 / 12:14 pm
I believe so too… or at least I can say I want to believe so!
Is it just me that i kinda find it weird how Ahns brother talks and look at Jisoo? Are they building some sort of a love triangle here? Or that look is more like a sinister look? It really gives me iky feeling on how he interacts with her. 😶
It is weird to me too, I wonder if it is supposed to be played as weird or if we should get the love triangle vibe from it? I kind of feel like they aren't doing the love triangle thing…but maybe they are? Color me confused.
Im starting to lean towards ASHs theory about maybe Ahns brother has an ulterior motive about all of these (how he interacts with Jisoo, does he really took care of Ahn out of live and not because hes just using him), im having a bad vibe about him. I mean he looks like a good prosecutor and a brother, but it feels like all of these personas he's showing are fake ones. Im really curious now why that killer is after him and his mom? Why Ahns ability doesnt work on him? What makes him conclude that Jisoo is the key to amplify Ahns ability? Who is that killer anyways? His dad? So many questions and we are almost halfway to this drama. 😯
I wonder if he and his mom were running from an abusive and serial killing father? Or maybe it was her lover and not necessarily his Dad? I'm super curious.
April 1, 2019 / 12:37 pm
I am more convinced that SeungMo and his mother were running away from somebody abusive related to them. Maybe SM is just too cautious to the point he looks suspicious? I think he is afraid to talk abt the killery identity thaty why he needs Ahn to read his memory.

Q: smartGWT: how to add items in selectOtherItem I have create a selectOtherItem in my SmartGWT .
i have just shifted from GWT where we simply do
             listBox.addItem("some Item");

and to put the values coming from a loop and also to save the id against every item (for                                                      values coming from db)
             for(int i =0;i <list.size; i++){
          listBox.addItem(list.getName(i), list.getId(i));
               }

but i'm not able to do these stuff in smartGWT .
Now i am using selectOtherItem .
If you can please guide how i can do the same thing in smartGWT, which i have show above.
thanks

A: SmartGWT also has the same functionality. You can directly add the Strings to a ComboBoxItem or SelectItem as mentioned below:
comboboxItem.setValueMap("s", "a", "d");

OR you can also prepare a LinkedHashMap, to specify key-value pair as mentioned below:
LinkedHashMap<String, String> map = new LinkedHashMap<String, String>();
for (Obj obj : objList) {
    map.put(String.valueOf(obj.getId()), obj.getName());
}
comboboxItem.setValueMap(map);

Besides, you can also fill up a ComboBoxItem or SelectItem using a DataSource.
For further details, refer this link.

How I Met (Your Brand)
HIMYB
Dearest Creative
Photo Credit: Meron Menghistab
Kori Dyer & Kirsten Pincket
Co-Founders, Dearest Creative
How did you get started with your career – and how does it reflect your personal aesthetic?
Kirsten from Florida, Kori from Philadelphia—it was always both of our dreams to live in New York. We met at VOGUE where we formed a working relationship and as we explored the industry together our bond grew stronger. From music, to fashion and beauty, our experiences have been rooted in cultivating genuine connections and crafting brands. That's why we decided to build our own.
How have the women around you been instrumental in your lives and careers?
Both of us growing up in a house of three sisters and incredible moms, feminine strength and independence was continuously instilled in us. We were both extremely lucky to have been raised in an environment where we were told that "you could literally do anything you wanted as long as you worked hard enough for it."
From music, to fashion and beauty, our experiences have been rooted in cultivating genuine connections and crafting brands. That's why we decided to build our own.
Cultural trends constantly change. What do you do to stay relevant, connected, and ahead of the curve?
Although NYC is magical and has many advantages, it can get overwhelming to try to "keep up" with the ever-changing trends. Constantly moodboarding, reading, attending museums, seeing shows and creating just for fun is the most natural way to stay afloat and relevant. We also have an incredibly talented and successful group of friends who run the gamut in terms of career paths – which is very inspiring. Keeping the conversation with your community flowing is also a great way to stay connected.
Our initiative, Dearest, is a creative studio whose passions lie in human interaction and mindful communication. At the end of the day, we just want to work with brands we like.
How do you keep track of your personal and business goals – and stay creative at the same time (even when you're exhausted)?
Personally, it's a constant battle to juggle multiple projects, keep up with family and friends, exercise, get enough sleep and also feel wildly creative at the end of the day. I think that keeping everything organized and in perspective is the most effective way to be productive and happy in all aspects of life. Our mission is to visually problem solve in a visceral way. We stay curious, keep learning and know that risk is our friend.
At the end of the day, we just want to work with brands we like.
How important are mentors? Who are your mentors?
On a day-to-day basis, we are each other's mentors. In a larger sense –
Kori: Emily Dickinson—the original riot grrrl created deep and dark poetry in isolation. My favorite: "Forever is composed of nows."
Kirsten: I have always looked up to Charlotte Bronte (1 of 3 sisters also!). She was an incredible author, poet and feminist trailblazer.
What is your advice for women entering creative fields or starting their own business?
Focus on your strengths. Don't ignore your intuition.
Our mission is to visually problem solve in a visceral way. We stay curious, keep learning and know that risk is our friend.
Place that inspires us the most…
Kori: The Magic Tree—a giant whimsical Japanese hackberry in Green Valleys, PA. As a nature camp counselor every summer there, I'd read stories under this massive deciduous beauty which re-roots to create a fort-like getaway. It's my definition of an escape where you forget your worries.
Kirsten: The Galleria Borghese in Rome, Italy—the most breathtaking place I've ever been.
We feel most powerful when…we're collaborating with like-minded people.
We love what we do because…we get to create beautiful things for a living.
Best advice we have ever received…
Kori: Be so good they can't ignore you.

No one plans on being in a car accident, or incapacitated, or being diagnosed with dementia, but not planning on it doesn't stop it from happening. There were 4,069,748 people injured in car accidents in 2016. Every 66 seconds, someone in the United States develops Alzheimer's. The reality is, estate planning isn't a good idea, it's necessary. Estate planning relies on facing some tough future scenarios, good planning and meticulous execution. One critical part of a well-executed estate plan is considering which powers of attorney you need to put in place.
Power of attorney is a legal document that allows you to appoint someone else to make decisions on your behalf in the event you are unable to do so. The person creating the power of attorney is referred to as the "principal" while the person acting on his or her behalf is called the "agent." There are different types of powers of attorney to consider when creating your estate plan.
Estate planning is an important process to prepare for the future of your estate and assets. While it may be unpleasant to think about, you may not always be around or available to make important financial and medical decisions for yourself or your loved ones. This is where a power of attorney can help.
If you appoint someone with a durable power of attorney, you give him or her the power to manage your affairs in the event of your incapacitation. The power of attorney has no set time limit and the scope is very broad. Your appointed representative can be responsible for a wide range of decisions on your behalf.
This appointment is much more restrictive than the Durable Power of Attorney. Non-durable power of attorney is generally used for a single transaction or a limited time frame. Once that transaction or time period is up, the nondurable power of attorney ceases to be in effect.
This power of attorney is exactly what it sounds like. You designate an agent to make medical and healthcare decisions on your behalf. It is important that you communicate clearly your wishes regarding your short and long-term healthcare treatments and any personal or religious beliefs that would impact your care. Your agent is responsible for carrying out your wishes, but in the event you have not documented those wishes, your agent will have to use his or her best judgment when making important care decisions or go to court to get appointed to make decisions for you.
This power of attorney is extremely specific and limiting. If you travel frequently and need to appoint someone to make decisions regarding your children, you may opt to use this type of power of attorney. By definition, your agent's decision making would have a very narrow and specific scope and/or timeframe.
It is important that you understand the various types of powers of attorney, because you may need multiple types when creating your estate plan. In the event you are incapacitated, whether due to illness, accident or old age, you should plan ahead. You will need to select the person or people to act on your behalf as your agent(s). A trusted friend or family member may be the perfect agent to handle your healthcare but may not be the best person to make financial decisions. It is critical that you put the right people in the right positions to best benefit your estate and loved ones. Your agent(s) should be trustworthy, capable and willing to take on the responsibilities involved. Once you select your agent(s), it is important that you communicate your choices and wishes for the future. This will help deter any confusion or conflict down the road. It is also very important to tell your named agents that you have named them to make decisions for you.
A wills and estate planning attorney can be an invaluable asset throughout this process. The best estate planning attorneys will listen to your needs and wishes and help you execute a legally binding plan complete with power of attorney documents as required. He or she will also advise you of federal and state specific laws and how they may impact your estate planning. Your attorney may also keep a copy of all your documents and assist your agents in executing their jobs and be available for any legal questions that may arise. Skilled legal representation from an attorney with estate planning expertise throughout this process can make your choices and execution of your wishes much easier.

Books: "How To Disappear" In A Very Public Age
How To Disappear: Notes on Invisibility in a time of Transparency
By Akiko Busch
Penguin Press; 224 pages, hardcover; $26.00; available Tuesday, February 12
In an era in which people are on social media constantly sharing pictures and what they're thinking at any given moment. We are encouraged to reveal, share, and promote ourselves, and that pressure does not just come just from our peers, but from vast and pervasive technology companies that want to profit from patterns in our behavior.
The notion of disappearing has never carried so much allure.
Akiko Busch, an essayist who is on the faculty of the School of Visual Arts in New York City, seeks to explain her own uneasiness with this arrangement in her new book How To Disappear. She senses there is a widespread desire for a less scrutinized way of life, essentially for invisibility.
A lifelong student and observer of the natural world, Busch writes in rich, deep detail about her own life, her family, and some of the most remote places in the world, from the Cayman Islands to Iceland, and the joy of being unseen.
Busch discovers and dramatizes a wonderful range of ways to disappear. From virtual reality goggles that trick the wearer into believing they have disappeared, to the way Virginia Woolf's Mrs. Dalloway finds a sense of affiliation with the world around her as she ages, Busch deliberates on subjects that are new and old with equal sensitivity and inclusiveness.
"In the woods no more than an hour, I am struck anew by invisibility, and its improvisational choreography, as a necessary condition of life," Busch writes of a trip into the wilderness. "I am reminded of the grace of reticence, the power of discretion, and the possibility of being utterly private and autonomous yet deeply aware of and receptive to the world. If I am enchanted by staying out of sight, it is because such behavior seems so rare in our own species. In recent years, we have been more preoccupied than ever by the question of how to stay in view.
"Yet we humans have our own diverse ways of being seen or unseen. We have our own metrics of invisibility, and our vision is a matter that goes beyond the electromagnetic spectrum. We make ourselves known or not, and familiarity, color blindness, and peripheral vision are the least of it. We have devised a vast catalog of inventive strategies - physical, psychological, technological - for how we maneuver our way in and out of one another's sight lines. They can be captivating, enchanting, deceptive, manipulative, hopeful, despairing, gracious, isolating, logical, illogical, strange, and altogether mysterious. This age of increasing transparency is time to consider them anew.
"Visibility has become the common currency of our time, and the twin circumstances of social media and the surveillance economy have redefined the way we live. In his landmark 1979 book, The Culture of Narcissism, Christopher Lasch noted that 'success in our story has to be ratified by publicity.' Forty years later, our cult of transparency shows his presience, as do the enabling new technologies. It has become routine to assume that the rewards of life are public and that our lives can be measured by how we are seen rather than what we do.
"The exposure begins at home, a place once considered private. In the nursery, internet-connected baby monitors equipped with high-resolution lenses, built-in microphones, and motion sensors may serve security, but they also reconfigure the relationships between parent, infant, and caregiver. The Internet of Toys - Barbies outfitted with Wi-Fi, Bluetooth-equipped kitties, teddy bears that allow for voice messaging - promotes interactivity but can be easily hacked for the child's own data, including address, birth date, photos. A smart refrigerator in the kitchen can gather shopping habits, information we may willingly surrender, but numerous brands of smart TVs track viewer data that advertisers can access for targeted marketing. Robotic vacuum cleaners have the ability to map our rooms, and Alexa, Amazon's personal home assistant, can produce evidence in court of what we say and do. Send an email, use Google, research something, anything, online - a dress, a book, a roasting pan, a lawnmower - and these items digitally trail us in endless pop-ups and sidebars.
"Leave the house, and our cell phones deliver location data to servie providers. Pass through a tollbooth, use a credit card, rent a car, or take a plane, and Big Data can gather even more personal information. But even if we don't do any of these things, dash cams, body cams, and backyard cams, along with closed-circuit security cameras at banks, malls, gas stations, transportation hubs, convenience stores, and street corners, observe our activities with little regulation."
How To Disappear is a field guide to invisibility and reacquaints us with the merits of being inconspicuous, and finds genuine alternatives to a life of perpetual exposure. Accessing timeless truths in order to speak to our most urgent contemporary problems, she inspires us to develop a deeper appreciation for personal privacy in what is increasingly an intrusive world.

Addiction: a Loss of Plasticity of the Brain?
Why is it that only some drug users become addicts? This is the question that has been addressed by the teams of Pier Vincenzo Piazza and Olivier Manzoni, at the Neurocentre Magendie in Bordeaux (Inserm unit 862). These researchers have discovered that the transition to addiction could result from a persistent impairment of synaptic plasticity in a key structure of the brain. This is the first demonstration that a correlation exists between synaptic plasticity and the transition to addiction.

Ignoring Stress Leads to Drug Cravings
Recovering addicts who avoid coping with stress succumb easily to substance use cravings, making them more likely to relapse during recovery, according to behavioral researchers. "Cravings are a strong predictor of relapse," said H. Harrington Cleveland, associate professor of human development, Penn State. "The goal of this study is to predict the variation in substance craving in a person on a within-day basis. Because recovery must be maintained 'one day at a time,' researchers have to understand it on the same daily level."
Peer Drug Use Increases Genetic Tendency to Use
The nature-nurture debate is usually about how much of something is due to our genes and how much is caused by our environment. New research just published in the academic journal Addiction shows that the case is more interesting for young women who smoke, drink, or use drugs, for two related reasons.
Cocaine Use a Significant Teen HIV Risk Factor
Teens with a history of crack or cocaine use are significantly more likely to engage in unprotected sex than youth who have never used these drugs, putting themselves at increased risk for HIV, according to a study in the <i>Journal of Child and Adolescent Substance Abuse</i>.

Every student on Artsonia is assigned a unique parent code, which is a randomly-assigned sequence of letters and numbers. This code allows a parent to verify their identity, give consent for their child to display artwork publicly and use Classroom Mode, and create a parent account.
You may receive an email from Artsonia (on behalf of the teacher) seeking your parental consent. The email will contain the parent code as well as a convenient link that embeds the parent code. You must click the link contained in the email (or go to the parent section of the website and directly enter the code) to give permission for your child to participate in Artsonia.
You may instead receive a printed slip from the teacher that was given to your child to bring home. The slip contains the parent code that you must enter into the parent section of the website to give permission for your child to participate on Artsonia.
Each parent code is one-time use and only allows a single parent to give permission and create an account linked to their child. If a second parent wishes to also create an account, they must have received a different unique code from the teacher via email or printed slip.
By granting permission and also creating a parent account, parents also gain access to approve visitor comments, view feedback from the teacher, and more.

France Seeks Clarity on Potential TotalEnergies Fuel Links to Russian Army
Le Monde newspaper reported on Aug. 24 that TotalEnergies was involved in supplying gas condensate to make jet fuel that might have been used by Russian warplanes in Ukraine, via the French firm's stake in a venture with Russia's Novatek.
Thu, 08/25/2022 - 08:35 AM
The French transport minister said on Aug. 25 a report that French oil major TotalEnergies SE was involved in supplying jet fuel to the Russian military via a joint venture raised an "extremely serious" issue that demanded clarification.
Clement Beaune, who said he did not have enough information to take sides on the matter, was the first French government official to comment on the allegations which could undermine President Emmanuel Macron's efforts to push for peace in Ukraine.
"This is an extremely serious subject, so it needs to be verified whether, voluntarily or involuntarily, there has been a bypass of either the sanctions or the energy that a company, French or other, has produced," Beaune told France 2 television.
He did not say whether a formal investigation was needed.
Manon Aubry, a member of the European Parliament for France Unbowed, one of the main French opposition parties, urged the government on Aug. 25 to take a stance on the issue, saying that "France can't close its eyes any longer."
"We have a French company that has become an indirect accomplice in a murderous war," she told Franceinfo radio.
TotalEnergies, which unlike major Western rivals has held on to its assets in Russia despite criticism, said it did not operate infrastructure that would have supplied the Russian military and had no knowledge about any potential jet fuel production by its business partners.
Le Monde said the jet fuel delivered to two Russian air force bases which likely were involved in carrying out air strikes in Ukraine was produced from gas condensate supplied by Terneftegaz, in which TotalEnergies holds 49%.

Troy Perry
Rev. Troy Perry was born in 1940 in Tallahassee, Florida, the first of five sons. His grandfather fought in the Civil War and his father was a prominent North Florida bootlegger.Growing up, Troy was the only one in his family who enjoyed going to church, and had a sense that one day, he would shepherd his own flock.
When Troy was 12, his father died, and his mother married an abusive alcoholic. This made life at home unbearable for Troy; so he ran away and went to live with his Pentecostal aunt and uncle in Georgia. At the age of 13, Troy delivered his first sermon in his aunt's church. By 15, he was a licensed Southern Baptist preacher. By then as well, he knew he liked men, and divulged his feelings to his pastor. His pastor told him to get married, so he married the pastor's daughter at age 18. They soon had two sons.
The family moved to Southern California, but Troy's feelings for men didn't go away. His marriage failed, he lost his job, did two years in the military, and at age 28, after a failed gay relationship, tried to put himself out of his misery.
Then Troy had a revelation that God loved him as he was. His call to be a pastor came out of the closet with him, and in October 1968, 28-year-old Troy founded the Metropolitan Community Church in the living room of his apartment.Over the years, the MCC grew rapidly and today, it has222 congregations in 37 countries around the globe.Troy has been invited to speak at the White House by three Presidents (Carter, Clinton, and Obama), and has published three books: his autobiography The Lord is My Shepherd and He Knows I'm Gay, a sequel Don't Be Afraid Anymore, and Ten Spiritual Truths for Successful Living for Gays and Lesbians and Everone Else!
Today, Troy lives with his husband Phil in the Silver Lake neighborhood of Los Angeles. Troy is a big guy with a crackling smile and dancing blue eyes, and although he's told his story many times, his OUTWORDS interview felt fresh and generous. Troy made peace with his maker – and through his ardent leadership, many other queer people have been able to do the same.

\section{Introduction}
The Einstein-Hilbert action appears to be insufficient to reproduce
the field equations of general relativity (GR) when boundaries of the spacetime play a fundamental role in the variation
with respect to the dynamical variable of gravity.
To remedy the action principle of GR, one shall include surface terms contributed by
the extrinsic curvature of the boundaries embedded in spacetime~\cite{York:1972sj,Gibbons:1976ue},
provided that dynamical degrees of freedom are fixed on the boudary surfaces.
These surface terms in addition to the Einstein-Hilbert action are not covariant
but they are essential for the path-integral approach to quantum gravity \cite{Gibbons:1976ue,Hawking:1978},
since the final result must be independent of any intermediate hypersurface along the path of integration.

However, as additional surface terms must be supplied in the action principle with spacetime boundaries,
one may wonder if there exsits a unified Lagrangian that always results in the correct field equations of GR,
or, if more importantly, an appropriate action constructed by a covariant formulation.
In this work, we show that both requirements are indeed realized in Einstein's alternative description of GR
when adopting the notion of distant parallelism \cite{Einstein:1928,Cartan}.

The concept of distant parallelism (or teleparallelism) is proposed by Einstein
for a unified theory of gravitation and electromagnetic fields \cite{Einstein:1928}.
To have a clear notion of parallelism for two vectors separated by a finite distance, which seems to be insufficient
in GR, one naturally
postulates the existence of the vierbein field $e_A^{\;\mu}$ at every (four-dimensional) spacetime point
and imposes the rule of absolute parallel transport as $\nabla_\mu e_A^{\;\;\nu} = 0$, where capital Latin indices stand for
components in a local tangent frame. This special parallel transport is realized by the so-called
Weitzenb\"{o}ck connection \cite{Weitzenbock:1923}
$\Delta^\lambda_{\;\;\nu\mu} = e_A^{\;\;\lambda}\partial_\mu e^A_{\;\;\nu}$ whose corresponding
Riemannian tensor vanishes identically \cite{Einstein:1928,Aldrovandi:2012}.

One can construct a covariant theory in teleparallelism based on the torsion tensor
$T^\lambda_{\;\;\mu\nu} \equiv
\Delta^\lambda_{\;\;\nu\mu} -\Delta^\lambda_{\;\;\mu\nu}$, which contains only first derivatives of the vierbein field.
By the subtraction of the Weitzenb\"{o}ck connection we have removed in the torsion tensor all the contribution from the
metric $g_{\mu\nu} = \eta_{AB} e^A_{\;\mu}e^B_{\;\nu}$, where $\eta_{AB} = \text{diag}(-1,1,1,1)$.
However, among all the possible combinations of the quadratic torsion tensors only one certain class of choices is found to result in
symmetric field equations, which was firstly developed by Einstein \cite{Einstein:1929} (see also \cite{Cho:1975dh,Hayashi:1979qx,Maluf:1994}).
We denote this class of theory by the action
\begin{equation}
\label{action:T}
S_{\rm T} = \frac{1}{16\pi G}\int d^4 x \; e \; T,
\end{equation}
where $e \equiv \mathrm{det}[e^A_{\;\mu}] = \sqrt{-g}$ and $T$ is the unique torsion scalar defined as \eqref{Lagrangian:T}.
To the purpose of the current study, it is more convenient to reformulate the torsion scalar as
\begin{equation}
\label{T-R relation}
T = \bar{R} + 2\bar{\nabla}_\mu T^{\alpha\mu}_{\;\;\;\;\alpha},
\end{equation}
where $\bar{R}$ is the Ricci scalar and
$\bar{\nabla}_\mu$ is defined as the covariant derivative with respect to the
Levi-Civita connection used in GR \cite{Wu:2016dkt}. From the formulation \eqref{T-R relation} we easily recognize that in the action of the
teleparallel theory \eqref{action:T} the only difference to the Einstein-Hilbert action
\begin{equation}
\label{action:GR}
S_{\rm GR} = \frac{1}{16\pi G}\int d^4 x \; \sqrt{-g} \; \bar{R},
\end{equation}
is given by a surface term.
Thus the variation of the action \eqref{action:T} with respect to the vierbein field solely leads to
equivalent field equations as those obtained from the action principle of GR,
provided that one can ignore any contribution from the spacetime boundaries.

In this work, we investigate the contribution of surface terms in the action
principle of the teleparallel theory \eqref{action:T}, assuming that the spacetime has a boundary.
We first prove that the surface term purely due to torsion in \eqref{T-R relation} exactly
eliminates all the other surface terms reside in $\bar{R}$ once the metric on the boundary is fixed.
Such a result coincides with the purpose of introducing a surface term by Gibbons and Hawking \cite{Gibbons:1976ue}
to remove the second derivatives in the Einstein-Hilbert action, as
York \cite{York:1972sj,York:1986} found that the non-vanished surface term in GR
modifies the dynamics of gravitation.

We then study the entropy contributed by the covariant surface term in a spacetime with an event horizon.
To draw a comparison to the result given by the path integral approach \cite{Gibbons:1976ue,Hawking:1978},
we rotate the time axes into complex directions (Wick rotations) to obtain the Euclidean torsion scalar,
following the spacetime decomposition for the teleparallel theory developed in \cite{Wu:2011kh,Wu:2016dkt}.
We apply the regularization used in \cite{Hawking:1995fd} to obtain a finite energy from the spacetime boundary and
confirm that the covariant surface term contributes a correct amount of black hole entropy, as a consistent finding with \cite{Gibbons:1976ue,Hawking:1978}.

One can read this paper from two equivalent perspectives.
The first one is to stay in Riemannian geometry where $\bar{R}$ is the curvature scalar of the spacetime.
In this case $T^\lambda_{\;\;\mu\nu} =e_A^{\;\;\lambda}(\partial_\mu e^A_{\;\;\nu}-\partial_\nu e^A_{\;\;\mu})$ is a tensor
defined by the vierbein field but has no further geometrical meaning.
This is the original approach considered by Einstein \cite{Einstein:1929}.
The second perspective is to stay in Weitzenb\"{o}ck geometry where $\Delta^\lambda_{\;\;\mu\nu}$ defines the spacetime connection
and the curvature of the spacetime is always zero. In this case $\bar{R}$ is a scalar defined by the metric but has no further geometrical meaning.
This is the approach where teleparallelism becomes a pure theory for gravitation
\cite{Aldrovandi:2012,Cho:1975dh,Hayashi:1979qx,Maluf:1994,Wu:2016dkt}.

\section{The Gibbons-Hawking-York term}

We shall consider a non-null spacetime boundary $\partial \mathcal{M} : f(x^\mu) = \rm constant$, which introduces a family  of unit normal
$n_\mu\equiv \partial_\mu f/\sqrt{\epsilon g^{\alpha\beta}\partial_\alpha f\partial_\beta f}$.
The non-null condition for the boundary reads $n^\mu n_\mu = \epsilon = \pm 1$
where $\epsilon= +1$ and $\epsilon = -1$ correspond to a timelike and spacelike hypersurface respectively.

The action principle for GR is well-known:
\begin{align}\label{variation:GR1}
\delta S_{\rm GR} &= \frac{1}{16\pi G} \int_{\cal M} d^4 x \; \sqrt{-g} \; G_{\mu\nu} \delta g^{\mu\nu} \\\nonumber
&+\frac{ \epsilon}{16\pi G}\oint_{\partial \mathcal{M}}d^3\Omega \sqrt{h} \; n^\mu
g^{\alpha\beta}(\partial_\alpha\delta g_{\mu\beta} - \partial_\mu \delta g_{\alpha\beta}),
\end{align}
where $h$ is the absolute value of $\mathrm{det}[h_{\mu\nu}]$ and
\begin{equation}\label{metric:induced}
h_{\mu\nu} = g_{\mu\nu} - \epsilon n_\mu n_\nu,
\end{equation}
is the induced metric on the boundary surface.

If the metric on the boundary is fixed such that $\delta g_{\mu\nu}\vert_{\partial \mathcal{M}} = 0$,
then one can eliminate the contribution from the second term on the right-hand-side of \eqref{variation:GR1} by
imposing the Gibbons-Hawking-York (GHY) term \cite{York:1972sj,Gibbons:1976ue}
\begin{equation}\label{YGH-term}
S_{\rm GHY} = \frac{\epsilon}{8\pi G}\oint_{\partial \mathcal{M}}d^3\Omega \sqrt{h} \bar{K},
\end{equation}
where $\bar{K} \equiv \bar{\nabla}_\mu n^\mu$ is the trace of the extrinsic curvature of the boundary defined in Riemannian spacetime.
(Note that the extrinsic curvature $K_{\mu\nu} = \nabla_\mu n_\nu$ is not symmetric when the spacetime contains torsion.)

According to the boundary condition $\delta g_{\mu\nu} = 0$, we have $h^{\alpha\beta}\partial_\alpha \delta g_{\mu\beta} = 0$
where the variation of $S_{\rm GHY} $ only survives in the normal direction to the surface. Therefore one can derive
\begin{equation}
\delta S_{\rm GHY} = \frac{\epsilon}{16\pi G}\oint_{\partial \mathcal{M}}d^3\Omega \sqrt{h} n^\mu h^{\alpha\beta}\partial_\mu \delta g_{\alpha\beta}.
\end{equation}
On the other hand, we can replace $g^{\alpha\beta}$ in the surface term of \eqref{variation:GR1}
by the induced metric according to \eqref{metric:induced}, which gives
\begin{align}
\label{variation:GHY}
\delta S_{\rm GR} + \delta S_{\rm GHY} = \frac{1}{16\pi G} \int_{\cal M} d^4 x \; \sqrt{-g} \; G_{\mu\nu} \delta g^{\mu\nu}.
\end{align}
As a result, with the existence of the GHY term a proper field equation can be derived from the action principle in a spacetime with a boundary.

\section{The action principle in teleparallel theory}

We now prove that the GHY term is naturally embedded in the theory \eqref{action:T}.
The first step is to rewrite the well-known results of GR in terms of the vierbein field. Since
$\delta g_{\mu\nu} = \eta_{AB} (\delta e^A_{\;\mu} e^{B}_{\;\nu} +  e^A_{\;\mu} \delta e^B_{\;\nu})$,
one finds $\delta e^A_{\;\mu} e^{B}_{\;\nu} =-  e^A_{\;\mu} \delta e^B_{\;\nu}$ is always satisfied for any
$e^A_{\mu}$ when $\delta g_{\mu\nu}$ vanishes.
As a result the imposed boundary condition indicates
\begin{equation}
\label{boundary_condition}
\delta g_{\mu\nu}\arrowvert_{\partial \mathcal{M}} = 0 \; \Leftrightarrow \; \delta e^A_{\;\;\mu}\arrowvert_{\partial \mathcal{M}} = 0.
\end{equation}
Note that only ten components in $e^A_{\;\mu}$ are fixed by this boundary condition, while the rest six
components are attributed to an arbitrary local Lorentz transfromation in the tangent frame.

On the other hand, the induced metric \eqref{metric:induced} is given by
$h_{\mu\nu}  = (\eta_{AB} - \epsilon n_A n_B)e^A_{\;\mu} e^B_{\;\nu}$, where $n_A = n_\mu e_A^{\;\mu}$
is the component of a unit normal vector in a local tangent frame.
After some simple rearrangement we can decompose the vierbein field on the boundary as
\begin{equation}
\label{vierbein_on_boundary}
e_A^{\; \mu} = h_A^{\;\mu} + \epsilon n_A n^\mu.
\end{equation}
Given that the vierbein field is fixed on the boundary, the derivative tangent to the surface must vanish,
that is $h_A^\mu\partial_\mu\delta e^B_\nu = 0$. Therefore we may rewrite \eqref{variation:GR1} as
\begin{align}
\label{variation:GR2}
\delta S_{\rm GR} &= \frac{1}{16\pi G}\int_{\cal M} d^4 x \; \sqrt{-g} \; G_{\mu\nu} \delta g^{\mu\nu} \\\nonumber
&+ \frac{\epsilon}{8\pi G}\oint_{\partial \mathcal{M}}d^3\Omega \sqrt{h} \; n^\mu
\left[e_A^\alpha\partial_\alpha\delta e^A_{\;\mu} - e_A^{\;\alpha} \partial_\mu\delta e^A_{\;\alpha}\right].
\end{align}

Let us now check the contribution from the torsion induced surface term in \eqref{T-R relation},
which reads
\begin{align}\label{torsion_surface}
\int_\mathcal{M} d^4x \;  e \;\bar{\nabla}_\mu T^{\alpha\mu}_{\;\;\;\;\alpha} =
\epsilon \oint_{\partial \mathcal{M}}d^3\Omega \sqrt{h} \; n_\mu T^{\alpha\mu}_{\;\;\;\;\alpha},
\end{align}
As $\delta n_\mu = \delta g^{\mu\nu} =  \delta e^A_{\;\;\mu} = 0$ on the boundary,
the non-vanished contribution from variation is
\begin{align}\label{variation:torsion_surface}
\delta \left[ n_\mu T^{\alpha\mu}_{\;\;\;\;\alpha}\right]=   n^\mu
\left[ e_A^{\;\alpha} \partial_\mu\delta e^A_{\;\alpha}- e_A^\alpha\partial_\alpha\delta e^A_{\;\mu}  \right].
\end{align}
We can combine the results from \eqref{variation:GR2} and \eqref{variation:torsion_surface} to obtain
the variation of the teleparallel theory as
\begin{equation}
\label{variation:T}
\delta S_{\rm T} = \frac{1}{16\pi G} \int_\mathcal{M} d^4 x \; \sqrt{-g} \; G_{\mu\nu} \delta g^{\mu\nu},
\end{equation}
where the surface term due to the Ricci scalar $\bar{R}$ is exactly cancelled out by the
torsion induced surface term. This result is the identical to what happened in GR when a
surface term of \eqref{YGH-term} is added into the action \eqref{action:GR}.

\section{Spacetime free energy from the covariant boundary term}
We have shown that the torsion induced surface term \eqref{torsion_surface} acts as a GHY term in the action principle.
The necessity of a GHY term is firstly supported by its contribution to
the ``thermodynamic potential'' (or namely the free energy) of the homotopically disconnected metrics
where the spacetime has event horizons (such as the Schwarzschild solution for black holes)~\cite{Gibbons:1976ue,Hawking:1978}.
Here we examine the free energy contributed by the covariant surface term in the theory \eqref{action:T}, that is
\begin{eqnarray}\label{entropy:torsion_surface}
S_{c}\equiv \frac{1}{8 \pi G} \int_{\mathcal M} d^4 x\; \tilde{e}\; \bar{\nabla}_{\mu} T^{\nu\mu}_{\;\;\;\; \nu}.
\end{eqnarray}

We apply the Wick rotation to both the time coordinate in spacetime and in the local tangent frame to
obtain the Euclidean metric $\tilde{g}_{\mu\nu} = \tilde{\eta}_{AB} \tilde{e}^A_{\;\mu}\tilde{e}^B_{\;\nu}$,
where $\tilde{e}^A_{\;\mu}$ is the Euclidean vierbein field and $\tilde{\eta}_{AB} = \text{diag}(1,1,1,1)$.
It is convenient to start with the general form \cite{Wu:2011kh,Wu:2016dkt}
\begin{eqnarray}
\label{ADM-vierbein 0th}\nonumber
\tilde{e}^0_{\;\mu}=(N,{\bf 0})\;\; &,&\;\;\;
\tilde{e}^a_{\;\mu}=(\tilde{N}^a,h^a_{\,\,i})\;,\\
\tilde{e}^{\,\,\mu}_{0}=(1/N,-\tilde{N}^i /N)\;\; &,&\;\;
\tilde{e}^{\,\,\mu}_{a}=(0,h_a^{\,\,i})\;,
\end{eqnarray}
which gives rise to the Euclidean metric in terms of the Arnowitt-Deser-Misner (ADM) formalism \cite{Arnowitt:1959ah,Oshita:2016oqn}:
\begin{align}
d\tilde{s}^2 = N^2d\tilde{t}^2 + h_{ij} \left(dx^i + \tilde{N}^id \tilde{t}\right)\left(dx^j +\tilde{N}^j d\tilde{t}\right),
\end{align}
where $h_{ij} = \eta_{ab}h^a_{\,\,i}h^b_{\,\,j}$ is the induced metric on the spacelike 3-surface, and $h^a_{\,\,i}$ is namely the
induced vierbein (or the dreibein field) \cite{Wu:2016dkt,Indices}.
Here $\tilde{t} = i t$ is the Euclidean time and $\tilde{N}^i = -iN^i$ where $N^i$ is the shift vector without Wick rotation.
The Euclidean torsion scalar in this spacetime decomposition reads \cite{Wu:2016dkt}
\begin{equation}
\tilde{T} =  \tilde{R}^3 + \tilde{K}^2 - \tilde{K}^{ij}\tilde{K}_{ij}  + \frac{2}{N} \bar{D}_i (h^{ij} N T^{k}_{\,\, j k}),
\end{equation}
where $\tilde{K}_{ij} = -i \bar{K}_{ij}$ is the (Euclidean) extrinsic curvature defined in GR,
$\bar{D}_i$ is the 3-covariant derivative with respect to the 3-Levi-Civita connection,
and $T^{i}_{\,\, j k} = h^i_{\; a}(\partial_k h^a_{\; j} - \partial_j h^a_{\; k})$ can be recognized as the 3-torsion
in view of the Weitzenb\"{o}ck geometry (which is unchanged under Wick rotation).

We now consider a spherically symmetric, stationary, and asymptotically flat Euclidean spacetime $\mathcal M$,
where the vierbein field and metric of ${\mathcal M}$ take the forms
\begin{align}
\tilde{e}^{A}_{\,\,\mu} &= \text{diag} \left(\sqrt{f(r)}, \frac{1}{\sqrt{f(r)}},r,r \sin{\theta} \right),\\
ds^2 &= f(r) d\tilde{t}^2 + f^{-1} (r) dr^2 +r^2 d\Omega_2^2,
\label{metric:spherical_stationary}
\end{align}
respectively.
In this case $N = \sqrt{f(r)}$, $\tilde{N}^a = \tilde{N}^i h^a_{\;i} =0$, and
the induced metric on the spacelike hypersurface $\Sigma_{\tau}$ fixed at a Euclidean time
$\tilde{t} = \tau$ can be derived as $h_{\mu \nu} =g_{\mu \nu} -t_{\mu} t_{\nu} = \text{diag} ( 0,1/f,r^2,r^2 \sin^{2}\theta )$,
where $t_{\mu}= \text{diag}(\sqrt{f},0 ,0,0)$ is the unit normal vector of $\Sigma_{\tau}$.
The dreibein field is $h^a_{\,\,i}= \text{diag} ( 0,1/\sqrt{f} ,r,r \sin\theta )$.
We shall impose a horizon at $r = r_H$, such that $f (r_H) = 0$, where the horizon merges to a conical singularity
of the Euclidean spacetime as seen by Fig. \ref{0509fig}.

\begin{figure}[H]
	\begin{center}
		\includegraphics[keepaspectratio=true,height=50mm]{0509.eps}
	\end{center}
	\caption{The asymptotically flat Euclidean manifold ${\mathcal M}$ with a horizon at $r = r_{\text{H}}$
		and a cut-off boundary $S_{r_0}$ is imposed at $r = r_0$.
	}%
	\label{0509fig}
\end{figure}

Let us introduce a boundary surface $S_{r_0}$ at $r =r_0$ where
the normal vector of $S_{r_0}$ is given by
\begin{eqnarray}
n_{\mu} = (0, 1/\sqrt{f (r)}, 0,0).
\label{050502}
\end{eqnarray}
One can regard the time parameter $\tau$ as an angular variable with the periodicity $\tau = \beta$,
where $1/\beta \equiv |f'(r_H)|/4 \pi$ is the definition of the Hawking temperature \cite{Padmanabhan:2009vy}.
The integration \eqref{entropy:torsion_surface} reads
\begin{align}\label{entropy:torsio_surface2} \nonumber
S_{c}^{\text{(E)}}
&= -\frac{1}{8 \pi G} \displaystyle \int_{0}^{\beta} d \tau \int_{S_{r_0}} d^2x  \sqrt{\sigma} \;
N n_{i} h^{ij}\tilde{T}^{\nu}_{\;\;j\nu},
\\
&= -\frac{\beta}{8 \pi G} \displaystyle \int_{S_{r_0}} d^2x  \sqrt{\sigma} \;
N n^{r} \tilde{T}^{\nu}_{\;\;r\nu},  \\\nonumber
& = -\frac{\beta}{8 \pi G} \displaystyle \int_{S_{r_0}} d^2x \sqrt{\sigma} \;
f(r_{0}) \left( \frac{1}{2} \frac{f^\prime(r_{0})}{f (r_{0})} +\frac{2}{r_0} \right).
\end{align}
where $S_c^{\text{(E)}} \equiv -i S_c$ and $\sqrt{\sigma}$ is the Jacobian of the two-sphere with $\sigma \equiv \text{det} [\sigma_{\mu \nu}]$ and
$\sigma_{\mu \nu} \equiv h_{\mu \nu} - n_{\mu} n_{\nu}$.

Note that $\beta N$ is the length of the circumference of the spacetime $\cal M$.

For an asymptotically flat spacetime the physical action has to be regularized by a reference background
defined by the flat spacetime \cite{Hawking:1995fd}. To this aim we also introduce a reference term
 \begin{align}
 S_{c 0}^{\text{(E)}} \equiv -\frac{1}{8 \pi G} \int_{\mathcal M} d^4 x\; \tilde{e}\; \bar{\nabla}_{\mu} [\tilde{T}^{\nu\mu}_{\;\;\;\; \nu}]_0,
 \end{align}
 where $[\tilde{T}^{\nu\mu}_{\;\;\;\; \nu}]_0$ is the torsion tensor given by a flat background with the same
 circumference $\beta N$ as $\cal M$. The vierbein field for the reference background can be chosen as
 $[\tilde{e}^{A}_{\,\,\mu}]_0 = \text{diag} (\sqrt{f(r)}, 1,r,r \sin{\theta} )$.

Let us take the example $f (r) = 1-2GM/r$, where the metric \eqref{metric:spherical_stationary}
is identified with the Schwarzschild solution with a black hole mass $M$.
In this case the integration \eqref{entropy:torsio_surface2} becomes
\begin{eqnarray}\label{Sc:unregularized1}
S_{c}^{\text{(E)}} =-4 \pi M (2r_0-3GM),
\end{eqnarray}
where the first term diverges as $r_0 \to \infty$.
However, the physical result is obtained from the regularization
\begin{align}
\label{result:free_energy}
S_{c}^{\text{(E)}} - S_{c 0}^{\text{(E)}} = 4 \pi G M^2,
\end{align}
where one can check that $S_{c 0}^{\text{(E)}} \to  -4 \pi M (2 r_0 - 2GM)$ as $r_0 \gg 2GM$
for the integration over the boundary $S_{r_0}$.

Keeping in mind that the energy of the Schwarzschild metric
$\langle E\rangle = M$ \cite{Hawking:1978} and that the inversed Hawking temperature
$\beta = 8\pi GM$, we can reproduce the correct Bekenstein entropy \cite{Bekenstein:1973ur}
\begin{align}
S= \beta M - F = 4\pi GM = \frac{A}{4G},
\end{align}
if we recognize the final result \eqref{result:free_energy} as the free energy $F$ of the system.
Here $A\equiv 4 \pi (2GM)^2$ is the area of the event horizon.
Given that the GHY term is responsible to the spacetime free energy in the path integral approach \cite{Gibbons:1976ue,Hawking:1978},
once agian we confirm that the covariant surface term $S_c$ made by the vierbein field plays the role of the GHY term
in the teleparallel formulation of GR~\eqref{action:T}.

\section{Conclusion}

In this work we have revisited the so-called ``teleparallel equivalent of general relativity'' by further considering the existence of spacetime boundaries.
We found that the boundary condition $\delta e^A_{\;\;\mu} =0$ is enough to make sure
the action to be stationary, given that the unique Lagrangian formulated by the quadratic torsion tensor \cite{Einstein:1929}
\begin{align}
\label{Lagrangian:T}
T= -\frac{1}{4} T_\lambda^{\;\;\mu\nu}T^\lambda_{\;\;\mu\nu} + \frac{1}{2}T_{\quad\lambda}^{\mu\nu}T^\lambda_{\;\;\mu\nu}
+ T^\lambda_{\;\;\lambda\alpha}T^{\rho\;\;\alpha}_{\;\;\rho},
\end{align}
contains only first derivatives of the vierbein field.
One can rewrite the torsion scalar in terms of a Ricci scalar $\bar{R}$ and a covariant surface term as seen by \eqref{T-R relation}.
This reformulation of $T$ is realized by a decomposition of the Weitzenb\"{o}ck connection
$\Delta^\lambda_{\;\;\nu\mu} = e_A^{\;\;\lambda}\partial_\mu e^A_{\;\;\nu}$ into a Levi-Civita connection and a contorsion tensor
$K^\lambda_{\;\mu\nu} = \frac{1}{2}(T^{\;\;\lambda}_{\mu\;\;\nu} +
T^{\;\;\lambda}_{\nu\;\;\mu} - T^\lambda_{\;\;\mu\nu})$ \cite{Aldrovandi:2012}.

The surface term in the Einstein-Hilbert action
 is known to play a fundamental role in the action principle of GR \cite{York:1972sj}.
Therefore, to result in a consistent variation of the teleparallel theory \eqref{action:T} with both the
representation \eqref{T-R relation} and \eqref{Lagrangian:T}, the covariant surface term $S_c$ must
exactly cancel the surface term residing in $\bar{R}$, as what is done by a GHY term \cite{Gibbons:1976ue,York:1986}.
Combining the results \eqref{variation:GHY} and \eqref{variation:T}, we have verified that
\begin{equation}
\delta S_T = \delta S_{\rm GR} + \delta S_{\rm GHY},
\end{equation}
where, to our best knowledge, this is the first identification of $\delta S_c$ with $\delta S_{\rm GHY}$ in the action principle,
despite the contribution of $S_c$ to the gravitational stress-energy has been discussed in some literature \cite{Krssak:2015lba,Krssak:2015rqa}.

We shall remark that the boundary condition $\delta e^A_{\;\;\mu} =0$ is sufficient to give a well-posed action principle even to
theories based on the generalized scalar-tensor formulation of the torsion scalar $T$
(which includes the $f(T)$ gravity as a special case)  \cite{Wu:2016dkt,Sotiriou:2010mv,Geng:2011aj,Jarv:2015odu}.
There is no need to impose any counter-boundary terms
due to the fact that the Lagrangian of the teleparallel scalar-tensor theory contains only the first derivatives of the
vierbein field \cite{Li:2010cg}.
 On the other hand, to ensure a stationary action for the scalar-tensor theory with respect to $\bar{R}$, including the
$f(\bar{R})$ gravity, one must not only introduce a modified GHY term and impose the boundary condition $\delta g_{\mu\nu} =0$,
but also fix the additional scalar degree of freedom on the boundary surface \cite{Dyer:2008hb}.

Finally, we emphasize that the covariant GHY term $S_c$ is only realized by
treating the vierbein field as the true dynamical degrees of freedom in gravitation,
such that one can construct a
covariant Lagrangian not only based on the metric but also the specific tensor
$T^\lambda_{\;\;\mu\nu} =e_A^{\;\;\lambda}(\partial_\mu e^A_{\;\;\nu}-\partial_\nu e^A_{\;\;\mu})$ in the Riemannian spacetime
(that has no torsion)~\cite{Einstein:1928}. The tensor $T^\lambda_{\;\;\mu\nu}$ defined by the vierbein field and its first derivative coincides with the
torsion tensor in the Weitzenb\"{o}ck spacetime (that has no curvature).
We believe that the well-posed action principle in the vierbein formulation of GR shows one significant benefit
to postulate the existence of the vierbein field, aside from the importance of the vierbein field
in a unified theory of gravitation and electromagnetic field \cite{Nelson:1977qj,Nelson:1978ex},
or in the construction of quantum gravity \cite{Ashtekar:1986yd}.

Cape Cod Wicked Local: Nonprofit Signs Deal to Build Performing Arts Center in Hyannis
By: Donna Tunney, Cape Cod Wicked Local, September 28th
The idea of building a world-class performing arts center on the Mid Cape has been bandied about for years, and now it looks like it's finally happening.
The Oceanside Performing Arts Center, a Cape Cod nonprofit formed in 2012, has signed a purchase-and-sale agreement with Finch Group Hotel and Resort, Inc., to acquire a nearly 40-acre parcel of land in Hyannis currently operating as the Twin Brooks Golf Club, said Maggie Van Sciver, director of Oceanside's board of directors.
Finch Group, based in Boca Raton, Fla., also owns the adjacent Hyannis Resort and Conference Center, and the parcel has to be sub-divided before the deal can close. Van Sciver declined to reveal the sale price of the parcel but said that the 21-member board was "really pleased with our working relationship" with the Finch Group.
"They are as committed to the community and the project as we are," she added.
No timeline has yet been established for either the design phase or the construction of the arts center, and Van Sciver said the golf club would continue to operate until building starts.
"These are early days," she added. "We wanted to announce this now so that we can move forward with civic leaders, neighbors – and all of the stakeholders -- who need to be involved in developing this project. We want to involve the community from the inception, so that their feedback will be part of the process."
The Cape Cod Symphony, which now performs at Barnstable High School Performing Arts Center, has said it would make the new center its permanent home.
"In securing this land, we hope to fulfill Cape Cod's need for a state-of-the-art performing arts center to showcase quality arts, entertainment and educational offerings, and to nurture the artistic spirit of Cape Cod residents and visitors year-round," Van Sciver said.
The site is across from Cape Cod Melody Tent, which offers musical performances during summer. Van Sciver said she doesn't see competition between the two venues as an issue.
"The Melody Tent will continue to present its summer schedule of world class entertainment, and we look forward to working with our colleagues there, finding ways to work together that are mutually beneficial. They are excited as we are about the project. The arts center will be a boon to all of the area's restaurants, retailers and businesses, and will attract residents from the Cape and from further away," she said.
Financing for the new center, she added, would come from donors. "The cost will depend on the specifics of the design. Once we settle on that, the money will be raised through donors. We'll explore every sensible option in terms of funding," she said, including the possibility of state and/or federal grants.

DATE Only a date is stored when this data type is used. Long awaited for many programmers.
TIME A new data type to store only the time, also long awaited for programmers.
DATETIME2 This data type offers a larger fractional seconds and year range than existing DATETIME data type.
The following images illustrate how the data is represented when using some of these data type.
Some of the new datetime data types require a smaller amount of memory than older datetime data types. Date data type requires just 3 bytes. Time data type requires 7 bytes, one byte smaller than datetime.
Commonly used datetime functions like GETDATE, DATEADD, DATEDIFF, DAY, MONTH, YEAR will work seamlessly with the new datetime data types, taking place implicit data conversions when needed. See the sample script below.
Separate date and time mean less programming code. No need to use the Convert function to separate date and time anymore.
DATETIME2 offers user defined precision for time values and a larger data range.
Datetime cannot store dates earlier than January 1, 1753. The new "date" data type allows to store dates earlier than year 1753(1).
There are some differences you should know when comparing data stored in different datetime data types.
For example, two variables storing the same date, one of the variables has a Datetime data type and the other one has a Date data type. When compared they are the same only if the time part is not specified (or filled up with zeros) at the moment the datetime data type variable is inputted/updated. Please see the images below for illustration.
Also, see what happens when you use the operand plus with a variable using the new Date type.
In this case use the DATEADD Function mentioned above.
Take in consideration also, that the SET DATEFORMAT ydm is not supported for date, datetime2, and datetimeoffset data types. Please see BOL for more information.

Abstract: A simple circuit consisting of a comparator and an exclusive-OR gate is sufficient to double the frequency of a reference signal.
The versatile phase-locked loop (PLL) allows multiplication of a reference frequency with an operating frequency that ranges from "DC to daylight." A PLL is overkill for some applications, however, especially if the input frequency needs only to be doubled. For those cases a simpler approach—such as the circuit in Figure 1 — will do the job just as well.
Figure 1. This circuit doubles the input frequency.
The reference frequency in this circuit drives the input of an exclusive-OR gate (XOR gate U2) as well as the input to a delay circuit. Consisting of R1, C1, and comparator U1, the delay circuit drives the XOR gate's second input. A resistive divider from the power supply establishes a 50% threshold for the delay circuit (2.5V in this case).
Circuit operation is easily illustrated by its response to a discrete pulse. If the input is low for a long time, pin 4 of the XOR gate is low but pin 5 is high, due to signal inversion by the comparator. The XOR output is therefore high. If the pin-4 input is now driven high, the XOR gate responds immediately by driving its output low. But after the delay circuit responds (about 15ns in this case), the XOR output returns high. Thus, a single rising edge on the input causes a single negative pulse at the XOR output. In a similar manner, the system produces a single pulse in response to an input falling edge. The resulting output (Figure 2) doubles an input frequency from 15MHz to 30MHz.
Figure 2. The Figure 1 circuit doubles a 15MHz input frequency+ to 30MHz.
where fDOUBLE is the desired (doubled) output frequency. At higher frequencies R1 should be in the 1kΩ range, but its value can be increased at lower frequencies. The calculated values of R1 and C1 may need adjustment to compensate for propagation delay in the comparator. Choosing a fast comparator (such as the MAX9010) helps to alleviate this concern. For low-level signals the MAX9010 propagation delay is 5ns, but a high level of overdrive in this application makes it faster than 5ns.
The circuit is useful in systems for which a clock frequency is already present, but other circuitry requires a higher frequency. Using a doubler instead of a second clock oscillator prevents the beat frequencies that might otherwise occur.
This design idea appeared in the December 15, 2003 issue of EE Times magazine.
