\section*{Introduction}
In the study of flag kernels it is sometimes convenient to work with a broader class of kernels, cf. \cite{colloquium2010} and \cite{2010}. In this paper we introduce a class of tempered distributions generalizing homogenous distributions smooth away from the origin and containing the flag kernels  of  Nagel-Ricci-Stein \cite{nagel} as objects of order $0$. As a preliminary step it seems only natural to consider first what we might call Calder\'on-Zygmund kernels of arbitrary order.

Let $a\in\bld{R}$. We say that a distribution $P\in\mathcal{S}^{\star}(V)$ is a {\it ${\mathcal{F}}(a)$-kernel} if it is smooth away from the origin and satisfies the following conditions:

{\it Size condition}: For every multiindex $\alpha$,
\begin{equation}\label{size}
|D^{\alpha}P(x)|\le C_{\alpha}|x|^{a-|\alpha|},
\qquad
x\neq0.
\end{equation}

{\it Cancellation condition}: There exists a norm $\|\cdot\|$ in the Schwartz space $\mathcal{S}(V)$ such that for every $\phi\in\mathcal{S}(V)$ and every $R>0$
\begin{equation}\label{cancellation}
\left|\int \phi(Rx)P(x)\,dx\right|\le R^a\|\phi\|.
\end{equation}
In a similar fashion (see below) we generalize the notion of a flag kernel.

Our goal is to extend the usual convolution of functions on a homogenous group to the class of thus generalized flag kernels. This is not always possible as can be seen from simple examples. However, under some natural restrictions on order, we get a kind of functional calculus. The classes of flag kernels considered here have their smooth counterparts in the classes described in \cite{arkiv2007} whose properties may be transferred into the new context under study. Let us add that this nonsmooth calculus  has already proved useful in the proof of the $L^p$-boundedness of flag kernels in \cite{2010}. The reader may wish to compare our resuts with those of Geller-Cor\'e \cite{core} where a very different approach has been taken.

The techniques used in the first section are a slight extension of those of Nagel-Ricci-Stein \cite{nagel}. All proofs are included for the sake of completness. On the background theory of homogeneous groups the reader is referred to Folland-Stein~\cite{folland}.

\section{Flag kernels}
Let $V$ be a finite-dimensional real vector space with a fixed family of non-isotropic dilations $x\to tx$ , $t>0$, their exponents of homogeneity being
$$
1=p_1<p_2<\dots<p_d.
$$

We have
 \[
V=\bigoplus_{j=1}^dV_j,
\qquad
V_j=\{x\in V: tx=t^{p_j}x\}.
\]
The  homogenous norm $|\cdot|$ on $V$ induces ``partial'' homogeneous norms
\[
|x|_j=|(x_1,x_2,\dots,x_j,0,\dots,0)|,
\qquad
1\le j\le d,
\]
corresponding to the filtration
\begin{equation}\label{flagvee}
V_{(k)}=\bigoplus_{j=1}^kV_j,
\qquad
1\le k\le d.
\end{equation}
In particular, $|x|_1=|x_1|$, and $|x|_d=|x|$. The homogeneous dimension of $V$ is
\[
Q=\sum_{j=1}^dQ_j,
\qquad
Q_j=p_j\dim V_j.
\]

There exists a corresponding homogeneous structure on the dual space $V^{\star}$ so a similar notation applies to $V^{\star}$. However, here we let
$$
|\xi|_j=|(0,\dots,0,\xi_j,\xi_{j+1},\dots,\xi_d)|,
\qquad
1\le j\le d,
$$
the corresponding filtration being
\begin{equation}\label{flagveestar}
V^{\star}_{(k)}=\bigoplus_{j=k}^{d}V_{j}^{\star},
\qquad
1\le k\le d.
\end{equation}
In particular, $|\xi|_1=|\xi|$, and $|\xi|_d=|\xi_d|$.

In expressions like $D^{\alpha}$ or $x^{\alpha}$ we shall use multiindices
$$
\alpha=(\alpha_1,\alpha_2,\dots,\alpha_d),
$$
where
$$
\alpha_k=(\alpha_{k1},\alpha_{k2},\dots,\alpha_{kn_k}),
\qquad
n_k=\dim V_k=\dim V^{\star}_k,
$$
are themselves multiindices with positive integer entries corresponding to the spaces $V_k$ or $V^{\star}_k$. The homogeneous length of $\alpha$ is defined by
$$
|\alpha|=\sum_{k=1}^d|\alpha_k|,
\qquad|\alpha_k|=n_kp_k.
$$

 We define the class $\mathcal{F}(\nu)$ by induction on the homogeneous step $d$. If $d=1$, that has been already done in Introduction.  If $d\ge2$ and $\nu=(\nu_1,\dots,\nu_d)$, then $P\in\mathcal{F}(\nu)$ if $P$ is a tempered distribution smooth away from the hyperspace $x_1=0$ and satisfying
\begin{equation}\label{size1}
|D^{\alpha}P(x)|\le C_{\alpha}|x|_1^{-\nu_1-Q_1-|\alpha_1|}|x|_2^{-\nu_2-Q_2-|\alpha_2|}\dots
|x|_d^{-\nu_d-Q_d-|\alpha_d|}
\end{equation}
for $x_1\neq0$. Moreover, for any $1\le j\le d$, there exists a norm $\|\cdot\|$ in $\mathcal{S}(V_j)$ such that
\begin{equation}\label{cancellation3}
<P_{R,\phi},f>=R^{-\nu_j}\int_{V}\phi(Rx_j)f(x_1,\dots,x_{j-1},x_{j+1},\dots,x_d)P(x)\,dx
\end{equation}
is in $\mathcal{F}(\nu')$ on $V_1\oplus\dots\oplus V_{j-1}\oplus V_{j+1}\oplus\dots\oplus V_d$, where
$$
\nu'=(\nu_1,\dots,\nu_{j-1},\nu_{j+1},\dots,\nu_d),
$$
and this is uniform in $\phi\in\mathcal{S}(V_j)$ of norm $1$ and $R>0$. Let us remark that if $\nu_j<0$ for all $j$,
then (\ref{size1}) implies (\ref{cancellation3}). The definition is relative to the filtration (\ref{flagvee}). The flag kernels on $V^{\star}$ will be understood as relative to (\ref{flagveestar}).

It follows directly from the definition that
\begin{lemma}\label{elastic}
If $P\in{\mathcal{F}}(\nu)$, then $x^{\alpha}D^{\beta}P\in{\mathcal{F}}(\mu)$, where $\mu_k=\nu_k+|\alpha_k|-|\beta_k|$.
\end{lemma}

The next lemma is an easy corollary to the Arzela-Ascoli theorem.
\begin{lemma}\label{uniform}
Let $\phi\in C_c^{\infty}(V)$ be equal to $1$ in a neighbourhood of $0$. For $\varepsilon>0$, let $\phi_{\varepsilon}(x)=\phi(\varepsilon x)$. Let $P\in{\mathcal{F}}(\nu)$. Then $P_{\varepsilon}=\phi_{\varepsilon}P$ are a uniformly bounded family of compactly supported distributions in ${\mathcal{F}}(\nu)$. Moreover, $P_{\varepsilon}\to P$ in the sense of distributions, and $\widehat{P_{\varepsilon}}(\xi)\to \widehat{P}(\xi)$ in $C^{\infty}(V^{\star})$ away from the hyperspace $\xi_d=0$ as $\varepsilon\to0$.
\end{lemma}

The following proposition is the main objective of this section.
\begin{proposition}\label{theorem}
$P\in\mathcal{F}(\nu)$ implies $\widehat{P}\in\mathcal{F}(\mu)$, where $\mu_k=-Q_k-\nu_k$.
\end{proposition}
\begin{proof}
In view of Lemma \ref{uniform}, we may assume that $P$ has compact support. Then $\widehat{P}$ is a smooth function, and $D^{\alpha}\widehat{P}$ is a Fourier transform of $(-ix)^{\alpha}P\in\mathcal{F}(\nu_1-|\alpha_1|,\dots,\nu_d-|\alpha_d|)$ so it is enough to show that
$$
|\widehat{P}(\xi)|\le C|\xi|_1^{\nu_1}\dots|\xi|_d^{\nu_d},
\qquad|\xi_d|>0,
$$
and check the cancellation condition.

Let us first consider the case $d=1$. Let $\nu=a$. Let $\phi$ be a compactly supported smooth fuction equal to $1$ on the support of $P$. Then for every $|\xi|\ge1$
$$
\widehat{P}(\xi)=\int e^{ix\xi}P(x)\,dx=\int e^{ix\xi}\phi(|\xi|x)P(x)\,dx,
$$
and
$$
e^{ix\xi}\phi(|\xi|x)=\psi_{\xi}(|\xi|x),
$$
where the family $\psi_{\xi}$ is bounded in $\mathcal{S}(V)$. Therefore, by (\ref{cancellation}),
\begin{equation}\label{aestimate}
|\widehat{P}(\xi)|\le C|\xi|^a,
\qquad|\xi|\ge1.
\end{equation}
However, the dilates $<P_R,f>=<P,f\circ\delta_R>$ satisfy the same estimate uniformly in $R$ so (\ref{aestimate}) holds for $|\xi|>0$. As for the cancellation property, by (\ref{size}),
$$
|<\widehat{P},\phi\circ\delta_R>|=R^{-Q}|<{P},\widehat{\phi}\circ\delta_{R^{-1}}>|\le\|\phi\| R^{-Q-a}
$$
for a suitable norm in $\mathcal{S}(V^{\star})$.

 Assume that our claim holds for $1\le d'<d$ and let $P\in\mathcal{F}(\nu)$ on a homogeneous group of step $d$.  Let $\xi\in V^{\star}$ with $|\xi_d|\ge1$. Let $k$ be the smallest index such that $|\xi_j|\le|\xi_d|$ for $k\le j\le d$. We shall write
\[
x=(x',x'')=(x_1,\dots,x_{k-1}\big|x_k,\dots,x_d),
\]
and
\[
\
\xi=(\xi',\xi'')=(\xi_1,\dots,\xi_{k-1}\big|\xi_k,\dots,\xi_d).
\]
Therefore
\begin{equation}\label{equiv}
|\xi'|_i=|\xi_i|+\dots+|\xi_{k-1}|\approx|\xi|_i,
\qquad
|\xi''|=|\xi_k|+\dots+|\xi_d|\approx|\xi_d|
\end{equation}
for $1\le i\le k-1$.

Let $\psi_j$ be a compactly supported smooth fuction in the $x_j$-variable, and let
$$
\psi(x'')=\psi_k(x_k)\dots\psi_d(x_d).
$$
We also assume that $\psi P=P$. The distribution
\begin{equation*}
 \begin{split}
<P_1,f>&=\int f(x')e^{-ix''\xi''}P(x',x'')\,dx'dx''\\
&=\int f(x')e^{-ix''\xi''}\psi(|\xi''|x'')P(x',x'')\,dx'dx''
\end{split}
\end{equation*}
is in $\mathcal{F}(\nu_1,\dots,\nu_{k-1})$ uniformly in $R=|\xi''|\ge|\xi_d|\ge1$ so that by induction hypothesis and (\ref{equiv})
\begin{equation*}
 \begin{split}
|\widehat{P}(\xi)|&=|\widehat{P_1}(\xi')\le C|\xi''|^{\nu_k+\dots+\nu_d}|\xi'|_1^{\nu_1}\cdots|\xi'|_{k-1}^{\nu_{k-1}}\\
&\le C_1|\xi|_1^{\nu_1}\cdots|\xi|_{k-1}^{\nu_{k-1}}|\xi|_k^{\nu_k}\cdots|\xi|_d^{\nu_d},
\qquad
|\xi_d|\ge1.
\end{split}
\end{equation*}
As before, we remove the restriction $|\xi_d|\ge1$ by invoking the uniformity of the dilates of~$P$.

Let $\phi$ be a Schwartz class function in the $\xi_j$-variable. By induction hypothesis again, the distributions
$$
R^{-\mu_j}<\widehat{P}_j,f>=\int \phi(R\xi_j)f(\xi_1,\dots,\xi_{j-1},\xi_{j+1},\dots,\xi_d)\,d\xi
$$
which are the Fourier transforms of
$$
R^{-\mu_j}<P_j,g>=R^{\nu_j}\int \phi^{\vee}(R^{-1}x_j)g(x_1,\dots,x_{j-1},x_{j+1},\dots,x_d)\,dx,
$$
are bounded in $\mathcal{F}(\mu_1,\dots,\mu_{k-1},\mu_k,\dots,\mu_d)$ uniformly in $R>0$ and $\|\phi^{\vee}\|=1$ for a suitable norm in $\mathcal{S}(V_j)$, which proves the cancellation property and completes the proof.
\end{proof}

Let us observe that if $A\in\mathcal{F}(\mu)$ and $B\in\mathcal{F}(\nu)$ and $\nu_j+\mu_j>-Q_j$, $1\le j\le d$, then the product of their Fourier transforms, which is well defined almost everywhere, is locally integrable, and
$$
\widehat{A}\cdot\widehat{B}\in\mathcal{F}(-Q_1-\mu_1-\nu_1,\dots,-Q_d-\mu_d-\nu_d),
$$
and therefore, by Proposition \ref{theorem}, $\widehat{A}\cdot\widehat{B}=\widehat{C}$, where $C\in\mathcal{F}(\mu+\nu)$. By Lemma~\ref{uniform},
$$
C=\lim_{\varepsilon\to0}A_{\varepsilon}\star B,
$$
so it can be regarded as an extended convolution of $A$ and $B$. Of course, $C=A\star B$, if, e.g. $A$ has compact support.

In the next section we show that it is still so if the vector group structure on $V$ is replaced by that of a noncommutative nilpotent group as long as it is congruent with the homogeneous structure.

\section{Convolution}

 From now on we assume that $V$ is a homogeneous Lie algebra with respect to the dilations which are  now supposed to be automorphisms of $V$. We have
$$
[V_i,V_j]\subset \left\{
\begin{array}{ll}
V_k, &  \text{if} \ \ p_i+p_j=p_k,\cr \{0\}, & \text{if} \ \ p_i+p_j\notin{\mathcal{P},}
\end{array}
\right.
$$
where $\mathcal{P}=\{p_j:1\le j\le d\}$.

We shall also regard $V$ as a Lie group with the
Campbell-Hausdorff multiplication
$$
xy=x+y+r(x,y),
$$
where $r(x,y)$ is the (finite) sum of terms of order at least $2$ in the Campbell-Hausdorff
series for $V$.

We say that a tempered distribution $A$ on $V$ belongs to the class $S(\nu)$, if its Fourier transform $\widehat{A}$ is smooth and satisfies the estimates
$$
|D^{\alpha}\widehat{A}(\xi)|\le(1+|\xi|_1)^{\nu_1-|\alpha_1|}\dots(1+|\xi|_d)^{\nu_d-|\alpha_d|},
\qquad
{\rm all \ } \alpha.
$$
The space $S(\nu)$ is a Fr\'echet space if endowed with the family of seminorms
$$
A\to\sup_{|\alpha|\le N}\sup_{\xi\in V^{\star}}(1+|\xi|_1)^{-\nu_1+|\alpha_1|}\dots(1+|\xi|_d)^{-\nu_d+|\alpha_d|}|D^{\alpha}\widehat{A}(\xi)|,
$$
for $N\in\bld{N}$. Apart from the Fr\'echet convergence, it is convenient to consider the $C^{\infty}$-convergence on Fr\'echet bounded subsets of $S(\nu)$.

\begin{proposition}\label{composition}
The mapping
$$
S(\mu)\times S(\nu)\ni(A_1,A_2)\to A_1\star A_2\in S(\mu+\nu)
$$
defined initially for the Schwartz functions extends uniquely to a mapping which is contiinuous when all the spaces are endowed with either of the above defined convergences.
 \end{proposition}
 \begin{proof}
This follows from Corollary 5.2 of \cite{arkiv2007}.
 \end{proof}

Let $A$ be a distribution on $V$. Let $\phi\in C_c^{\infty}(V)$ be equal to $1$ in a neighbourhood of $0$. Recall that for $\varepsilon>0$, we write $\phi_{\varepsilon}(x)=\phi(\varepsilon x)$ and $A_{\varepsilon}=\phi_{\varepsilon}A$. The following is the main result of this paper. Note that the restriction we impose in the second part of the statement refers to the sum of the exponents and not to the exponents themselves.

\begin{theorem}\label{composition_flag}
Let $A\in\mathcal{F}(\nu)$  and $B\in\mathcal{F}(\mu)$. Then the functions
$$
\Phi_{\varepsilon}(\xi)=\widehat{A_{\varepsilon}\star B}(\xi)
$$
are convergent in $C^{\infty}(V^{\star})$ away from the hyperspace $\xi_d=0$ to a smooth function $\Phi$ satisfying the estimates
$$
|D^{\alpha}\Phi(\xi)|\le C_{\alpha}|\xi|_1^{\mu_1+\nu_1-|\alpha_1|}\dots|\xi|_d^{\mu_d+\nu_d-|\alpha_d|},
$$
where the bounds depend only on those of $A$ in $\mathcal{F}(\nu)$ and of $B$ in $\mathcal{F}(\mu)$. If, moreover, $\mu_k+\nu_k>-Q_k$ for all $1\le k\le d$, then  $\Phi$ is locally integrable, and
$$
\lim_{\varepsilon\to0}A_{\varepsilon}\star B={\Phi}^{\vee}\in\mathcal{F}(\mu+\nu),
$$
where the limit is understood in the sense of distributions.
 \end{theorem}
\begin{proof}
Let as first assume that $A$ has compact support.  Let $h\in C_c^{\infty}(V^{\star}_d)$ be supported where $1/2\le|\xi_d|\le4$ and equal to $1$ where $1\le|\xi_d|\le2$. Let
$$
\widehat{A_1}(\xi)=h(\xi)\widehat{A}(\xi),
\qquad
\widehat{B_1}(\xi)=h(\xi)\widehat{B}(\xi).
$$
Then $A_1\in S(\nu)$, $B_1\in S(\mu)$,
and, by Proposition \ref{composition}, there exist constants $C_{\alpha}$ such that
\begin{equation*}\begin{split}
|D^{\alpha}\widehat{(A\star B)}(\xi)|&=|D^{\alpha}\widehat{(A_1\star B_1)}(\xi)|\\
&\le C_{\alpha}|\xi|_1^{\nu_{1}+\mu_{1}-|\alpha_1|}\dots|\xi|_d^{\nu_{d}+\mu_{d}-|\alpha_d|},
\qquad
1\le|\xi_d|\le2.
\end{split}\end{equation*}
Note that $1+|\xi|\approx|\xi|$ on the set where $|\xi_d|\approx1$. The families $A_t(x)=t^{-Q-n}A(t^{-1}x)$ and  $B_t(x)=t^{-Q-m}B(t^{-1}x)$, where $n=\sum_{k=1}^d\nu_k$, $m=\sum_{k=1}^d\mu_k$, satisfy the estimates
$$
|D^{\alpha}\widehat{A_t}(\xi)|\le C_{\alpha}|\xi|_1^{\nu_{1}-|\alpha_1|}\dots|\xi|_d^{\nu_{d}-|\alpha_d|}
$$
and
$$
|D^{\alpha}\widehat{B_t}(\xi)|\le C_{\alpha}|\xi|_1^{\mu_{1}-|\alpha_1|}\dots|\xi|_d^{\mu_{d}-|\alpha_d|}
$$
uniformly in $t>0$ so that
$$
|D^{\alpha}\widehat{A\star B)}(\xi)|\le C_{\alpha}|\xi|_1^{\nu_{1}+\mu_{1}-|\alpha_1|}\dots|\xi|_d^{\nu_{d}+\mu_{d}-|\alpha_d|},
\qquad
t\le|\xi_d|\le2t,
$$
for arbitrary $t>0$.

It follows that $\widehat{A_{\varepsilon}\star B}$ satisfy the above estimates uniformly in $\varepsilon>0$ and converge to some $\Phi$ in $C^{\infty}$ on $V^{\star}$ away from $\xi_d=0$. The other part of the claim follows by Proposition \ref{theorem}.
\end{proof}

\begin{corollary}
Let $A\in\mathcal{F}(\nu)$  and $B\in\mathcal{F}(\mu)$. If $A$ is compactly supported, and $\mu_k+\nu_k>-Q_k$ for all $1\le k\le d$, then $A\star B\in\mathcal{F}(\mu+\nu)$.
\end{corollary}

Let us consider the following example, where $V=\bld{R}$. Let
$$
<\widehat{A},f>=\int_{|\xi|\le1}\frac{f(\xi)\,d\xi}{\sqrt{|\xi|}}.
$$
Then $A\in\mathcal{F}(-1/2)$, but ``$A\star A$'' does not satisfy the cancellation condition. In fact, let $f$ be supported in $[-1,1]$. The function $\Phi$ from the proof of Theorem \ref{composition_flag} is here equal to $\Phi(\xi)=|\xi|^{-1}$. Any extension of $\Phi$ to a distribution on $\bld{R}$ is of the form
$$
<\widehat{B},f>=cf(0)+\int_{|\xi|\le1}\frac{f(\xi)-f(0)\,d\xi}{\xi}+\int_{|\xi|\ge1}\frac{f(\xi)\,d\xi}{\xi}
$$
so that, for $R>1$,
$$
<\widehat{B},f\circ\delta_R>=cf(0)+\int_{|\xi|\le1}\frac{(f(\xi)-f(0))\,d\xi}{|\xi|}-2\log R\cdot f(0).
$$
The last expression is unbounded as $R\to\infty$, which shows that $B$ does not satisfy the cancellation condition.

We can extend the law of composition to the distributions $A$ on $V$ such that $\widehat{A}$ is smooth away from the hyperspace $\xi_d=0$ and
\[
|D^{\alpha}A(\xi)|\le C_{\alpha}|\xi|_1^{\nu_1-|\alpha_1|}\cdots|\xi|_d^{\nu_d-|\alpha_d|},
\qquad
\xi_d\neq0,
\]
for some $\nu=(\nu_1,\dots,\nu_d)$. Let us denote the class of such distributions by $\mathcal{F}_0(\nu)$. Elements of $\mathcal{F}_0(\nu)$  can be interpreted as operators on a suitably chosen space of test functions. In fact, let $\mathcal{S}_d(V)$ denote the closed subspace of $\mathcal{S}(V)$ consisting of functions $f$ with
$$
\int_{V_d}f(x)p(x_d)\,dx_d=0
$$
for all polynomials in the $x_d$-variable. It is not hard to see that every $A\in\mathcal{F}_0(\nu)$ can be regarded as a continuous linear form  on this space acting by
\[
 <A,f>=\lim_{\varepsilon\to0}\int_{|x_1|\ge\varepsilon}f(x)A(x)\,dx.
\]
Moreover, the convolution operator
\[
T_A(x)=f\star\widetilde{A}(x)=\int f(xy)A(dy)
\]
is continuous. If $A$, $B$ belong to $\mathcal{F}_0(\nu)$, then $T_A=T_B$ if and only if $\widehat{A}-\widehat{B}$ is supported where $\xi_d=0$. Therefore, strictly speaking, the convolution operators $T_A$ correspond to the classes of equivalent distributions.

\begin{corollary}
Let $A\in\mathcal{F}_0(\nu)$ and $B\in\mathcal{F}_0(\mu)$. Then there exists a $C\in\mathcal{F}_0(\nu+\mu)$ such that
\[
T_A\circ T_B=T_C.
 \]
\end{corollary}
\begin{proof}
It is sufficient to observe that the argument of the proof of Theorem \ref{composition_flag}\ works here as well and yields a function $\Phi$ satisfying the desired estimates. Moreover, $\Phi$ admits extension to a distribution on $V^{\star}$.
\end{proof}

CHOO YUT SHING
The third installment of Tom Holland's Spiderman saga came out recently on December 17th 2021. No Way Home is projected to swing more than 500 million at the box office making it one of the biggest hits at the box office of all time. This is a spoiler filled review so if you haven't seen No Way Home yet stop reading now. Spiderman Homecoming and Spiderman Far From Home both sit in my upper echelon of Marvel movies and films in general.
The beginning of the movie beautifully orchestrates the toll that having his identity out takes on Peter. The movie shows a scenario that would cause Peter to go to Dr. Strange Begging for the forgetting spell without making it feel pushed. One of my least favorite parts of the movie was the spell sequence. This scene feels kind of forced which makes the main conflict of the film feel pulled out of no where. Although I don't like how they come to Toms world I love the villains. The nostalgia brought on from this film is unmatched. For all that grew up watching the previous spider mans seeing the villains brought back was legendary. Sam Hughes (9) said "truly a cinematic masterpiece, best marvel movie I've ever seen." While I don't agree with the statement that it is the best marvel movie I agree that is was a masterpiece. Peter wanting to save the villains feels very true to his character although we all knew something would go wrong. The scene where Peter tries to give them the antidotes resulting in the apartment fight was "entertaining and had me on the edge of my seat," according to Colin Nelson (9). Aunt Mays death was heartbreaking and a pivotal point in the movie. Her death motivated Peter to be the hero he is throughout the rest of the rest of the movie.
When Ned and MJ opened the portal I knew it was gonna be Andrew or Tobey which was one of the most exciting moments in film history. Seeing Andrew and Tobey was magical and nostalgic and was overall just a highlight of the film. A highlight of Andrew's and Tobey's return was the final battle which was "electric and one of the best moments in in marvel movie history," and Kimi Rafanan (9). Kimi said it greatly, the final battle wha unbelievably historic. The cinematography was top tier with great camera angles, lighting and cgi. The fight scenes were classic Spiderman mixed with great sense of friendship and modern dialogue. Andrew Garfield mentioned that the movie "helped me make peace with Spiderman and come to a sorta closure." The part where Andrew caught MJ falling to her death really emphasized this. In the Amazing Spider-man 2, Andrew's character fails to save Gwen which was his equivalent to MJ in his films. The breathtaking scene where he saves MJ in No Way Home brought tears to the audiences eyes and his own. All of this is to say Spiderman No Way Home was one of the best if not the best movie of the year.

I am sick. Granted it was in the book which I haven't read but for that scene to end the way it did almost made not want to see any new episodes. I can't believe that even R.R. Martin woudl have wanted to write the stroy in this direction. All the crap heads survive and the decent people are killed off..whats with that!
Olga June 5, 2013
I have to admit it was sickening, especially Talisa. She's not actually in the book (she's a made-for-TV character) but seeing that was just brutal.
Hold onto hope, we still have a handful of Starks left.
Krzysztof Romańczukiewicz June 6, 2013
"Talisa" was not in the book, althou there is a character she was based on – Jeyne form the house Westerling (which at this point is loyal to the Lannisters).
Also – the most crucial thing to know for the people that are not reading the books – Starks are NOT the main characters of the plot. Never were, never will be. They are one of the houses that got into the storm and been mostly killed of because of their honourable reasoning, which – as you may see – is not well suited for the actions taking place in Westeros.
If you will look deeper, you will find positive characters to hold on, or you will live on hating the bad ones. Don't worry, there's enough steel, poison and general misfortune for everyone 🙂
READ THE BOOKS! 🙂
George is secretly a Yorkist. Stay tuned.

You say the starks aren't main charecters, yet compared to what some of them are becoming, I'm betting the story will come full circle in the end. Starks being there at the end with their aquired skills.
By the principle of acorn to rotten log, one of the Stakrs already (by book 5) posses the power to gaze into the "end times".
They might not be the main charecters of the story, but I do believe them to be of the plot.
Krzysztof Romańczukiewicz June 12, 2013
I didn't say they are not relevant. I just simply stated that they are not the main characters or as important as some people see Starks were/are/would be. Two more books to come, we shall see. Cheers.
Foreverett June 25, 2013
George R.R. Martin actually had such a tough time writing that scene, that he had to skip over it and finish the 3rd book before going back and actually writing it. It was a powerful scene to read.
C S Hughes June 7, 2013
The books, and the TV series, both have a huge list of central characters, and of those the Starks begin as the heroes of the story, and indeed their honour is their downfall. If they weren't the main characters their unexpected and gruesome deaths would not be so outrageous.
Their deaths were so outrageous because they were the most honourable and likable characters. Simple as that as I can see. But isn't Tyrion a likable character? Wanting good but always showed as the demon imp to the people of Westeros because of his father or sister doings?
Olga June 12, 2013
Tyrion isn't considered a demon imp because of his family, his own family loathes him. Tyrion is considered a demon because of his size. The medieval attitudes towards any disability or disfigurement were obviously not the same as ours, they considered it a deformity and usually the work of evil. Some even considered disfigurements in children the fault of the parents for sinning.
George has made him an anti-hero, not just despite who his family is, but because we have different attitudes.
Of course in his television creation they've picked a handsome man to play him and haven't lopped off his nose, which also helps.

Beanie's name guesses have been moved to the left pane, and I'm pleased to say that her real name hasn't been guessed yet. Either we're really clever, or people have come across the name and thought "There's no way in hell they'd give a name like that to a poor defenseless baby." Oh, the suspense!
My midwife visit went very well yesterday. My blood pressure is exactly the same as it has been since week 9, there's nothing evil in my wee, I've avoided the dreaded Hobbit feet and Doughboy fingers so far, the baby's heart rate is good and strong, and she's even managed to wriggle herself into a better position for her and I both. She's now more back to front (usually she's got her back to my right hand side) and I've noticed a lot less pain and discomfort recently. Hopefully she'll stay that way as it's a good position for the birth. She's still free floating, which isn't at all surprising. Jack's head didn't start to engage until 38 weeks, and it's not uncommon for 2nd (or more) babies to only start engaging in labour. And frankly, if it means not feeling like there's a bowling ball bouncing up and down on my bladder, I'm in no rush for her to engage.
A few people have remarked how "brave" I am for going for a home birth. The thing is, I'm not doing this out of bravery at all. I'm actually doing this out of fear: I loathe being in hospital and even just going there for scans makes me break into a cold sweat. I don't feel safe there and there's no satellite television or Internet access. What kind of barbaric institution is that?! After a week of being cooped up in a tiny ward with five other mothers and their newborns (and let's not forget the woman next to me who had a special oversized bed and chair due to her weight that literally forced one curtained "wall" a couple of inches from the side of my bed - and her baby screamed 24/7), having to share two showers and four toilets with both the postnatal and antenatal wards, eating white starchy unsalted/oversugared foods three meals a day (and having to toast your own bread using the one shared toaster), coping with harsh florescent lights being switched on every day at 7:00 sharp (even though most of us had only been asleep for about 10 minutes by that point), a midwife who pulled all of our dividing/privacy curtains open as soon as the lights came on, the clear plastic cots that are too high for c-section mums who can't sit up yet, the metal beds that aren't wide enough to breastfeed comfortably, the unbearable heat, and the routine. Oh gods, the routine. Breakfast at 8, visiting hours begin at 9, tea lady does a round, newspaper guy asks if you'd like to buy a paper, lunch at 12, "quiet time" (i.e. when visitors/partners had to leave) from 1-2:30, another tea round, supper at 5, visiting hours end at 8, then the last tea round (by which point the tea lady knows exactly how you and your husband take your tea) and a drugs trolley pays you a visit. Lights out, futile attempt to sleep. Midwives spend the entire night shouting down the corridors at one another, while the persistent "ding ding ding ding" sound of the midwife call bell thingy rings non-stop. One baby starts crying, which has a domino effect and suddenly everyone's baby is screaming at the top of their lungs.
So no, I'm not brave. I'm terrified of ending up back at that place.
Birthing at home with an independent midwife just made sense to me, especially as I tend to deal with pain by distraction. I want to be able to watch a silly movie or TV show, cuddle my dog, go online and keep my mind occupied. I want to know that I will be able to use the pool (our hospital has two but it's first come, first served) and most importantly, I want to know and trust the midwife who will help me give birth to this baby. And afterwards, I want to be able to use my own shower, snuggle up in our big lovely bed with Beanie, and eat my own food. Which reminds me, I've informed Paul that I would like an entire wheel of brie placed in a low oven as soon as I go into labour.
I can transfer to hospital quite easily and quickly, whether it's an emergency or I scream for an epidural. All I really want is a peaceful birth and a shower I can use without wearing flipflops. Not much to ask, is it?


Because the owner wanted to emphasize interior room when he commissioned this yacht, Delta graced her with a nearly 34-foot beam and about 7,500 square feet of living space. As a result, her profile reveals more enclosed areas than you expect to see aboard a megayacht, but some of them can be indoor-outdoor rooms. The private dining room aft of the owner's stateroom on the upper deck, for example, features windows that can slide down electro-hydraulically.
• to mimic the look of the ocean, the owner chose glass for the countertops and additional surfaces inside.


Melissa & Tim traveled all the way up to my neck of the woods in North Conway for their engagement session. Of course as soon as we arrived to our session we were caught in a torrential downpour of a passing mountain thunderstorm. So it wouldn't have been more appropriate for their wedding day to start off with a little rain. You know, it is good luck after all. Luckily, the overcast skies made for perfect light for their outdoor ceremony followed by dancing the night away in the barn. These two are perfect for each other and they're so happy to be married.

Efforts intensify on decarbonising heat networks
By Dominic Ellis
Decarbonising heat is essential to tackling climate change but it requires rapid deployment of complex large-scale energy generation assets and upgrades
Heating our homes and businesses makes up a significant part of our energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions – they account for around a third of UK emissions. Decarbonising heat, reducing and eliminating the greenhouse gases emitted during its generation and use, is essential to tackling climate change.
In its report, Net-zero: the road to low-carbon heat, the CBI recommends a new national delivery body to formulate and steer a national plan for heat decarbonisation and to work with regions and cities to co-ordinate efforts across scales, sectors and geographies.
Mott MacDonald's The Path To Zero Carbon Heat say decarbonising heat by 2050 requires actions to be undertaken in the next five years, and among its critical activity recommendations are:
Increase deployment of heat pumps and hybrid heat pumps in line with the CCC's advice, at low-regret sites – via local initiatives, incentive schemes and trials in hard-to-convert buildings
Accelerate the growth of district heat networks by developing regulatory and financial frameworks, enhancing consumer protection/confidence and unlocking investment
Companies are starting to step up a gear. SSE Energy Solutions and National Grid yesterday unveiled a new project, capturing waste heat from electricity transformers to generate hot water and space heating for homes and businesses.
It is estimated that the heat recovery project will initially reduce heat network carbon emissions by more than 40% versus traditional gas-led systems. Critically, the technology offers a route to net-zero heat when applied to transformers served by 100% renewable electricity from wind or solar farms.
The project has the potential to save "millions of tonnes of CO2 every year" if rolled out across National Grid's network of transformers across England and Wales, harnessing this waste heat via SSE heat networks to serve towns and cities across the region, the companies claim.
Nathan Sanders, Managing Director at SSE Energy Solutions, said: "Electric power transformers generate huge amounts of heat as a by-product when electricity flows through them. At the moment, this heat is just vented directly into the atmosphere and wasted. By their very nature, electricity transformers are primarily located where people live, work and consume energy meaning that they have the potential to be incredibly valuable community assets if we apply a bit of clever thinking.
"This groundbreaking project aims to capture that waste heat and effectively turn transformers into community 'boilers' that serve local heat networks with a low or even zero-carbon alternative to fossil-fuel powered heat sources such as gas boilers. We see heat networks as a key part of the UK's future low carbon energy infrastructure, enabling us to exploit waste heat sources and use these to heat homes and businesses across the country.
"At SSE Energy Solutions we are always looking at innovative ways to improve our operational efficiency, produce value for customers and reduce energy bills. Our partnership with National Grid does exactly that and decarbonising our heat networks through the electrification of heat is just one of the exciting ways we're driving the transition to net zero."
Alexander Yanushkevich, Deeside Innovation Manager of National Grid, said it was proud to partner with SSE Energy Solutions to develop this innovative technology and support decarbonisation of heat, which is essential to achieve net zero.
"When the solution is fully developed and tested, we can use it in any of our 350 substations and provide heat to local consumers. Together with SSE, National Grid is a Principal Partner of COP26, and projects like these are a great example of how, taking a whole system approach, the UK can lead the way in helping accelerate decarbonisation."
SSE Energy Solutions' heat recovery technology is currently undergoing a proof-of-concept trial at National Grid's Deeside Centre for Innovation, the first facility in Europe where assets associated with electricity networks can be tested off-grid. The centre is designed as a unique environment for developments and trials of new technologies and practices. Deeside is a key part of National Grid Electricity Transmission's Innovation programme, a series of projects, informed and developed by stakeholders, innovating to address the challenges of the energy transition.
SSE is a founder member of the Heat Networks Industry Council, an industry-wide group collaborating with the government to unlock the potential of zero carbon heat networks and provide around 20% of the UK's heat by 2050. HNIC members are committed to creating 20-35,000 new direct jobs and investment of up to £50bn in the UK market, while decarbonising heat networks by 2035.
At present, SSE Group, which operates 18 large heating and cooling networks across the UK, plans to invest around £2bn largely in low carbon power projects this year and is weighing up further investments as the UK prepares to host COP26. SSE Renewables is committed to delivering 30TWh of renewables a year by 2030.
Scotland aims to provide all homes will have an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating of band C by 2040, where technically feasible and cost effective, and all non-domestic buildings will have their energy efficiency improved to the extent that it is technically feasible and cost effective.
By 2032, it aims to reduce residential heat demand by 15% and non-residential heat demand by 20% by improving the fabric of the country's buildings and ensuring they are insulated to the maximum appropriate level. It is working on a number of schemes:
the Transition Programme Decarbonisation Fund, launched in May 2018 to assist social landlords to install energy efficiency measures to improve the energy efficiency of their properties and reduce tenants' fuel costs
the Energy Efficiency Transition Programme, which is piloting the expansion of energy efficiency programmes in the self-funded owner occupier and commercial markets, including in off-grid gas areas
Local Heat and Energy Efficiency Strategies (LHEES), which help local authorities to shape their programmes for delivering energy efficiency and low carbon heat
the District Heating Loan Fund, which offers loans to support the development of district heating networks in Scotland
Mott MacDonald outlines the key infrastructure challenges covering electrification, hydrogen and hybrid.
One of the biggest infrastructure challenges common to all pathways is the requirement to have begun the mass deployment of complex large-scale technologies by 2030, some of which will still be relatively immature. For example, both the electric and hybrid pathways require several GW of nuclear or gas CCUS power generation capacity to be deployed every year for two decades; and the hydrogen scenario assumes that 1-2GW AMT+CCUS hydrogen production capacity is deployed each year from 2030, scaling up to 5GW+ each year from 2035.
"All of our pathways assume ambitious nationwide energy efficiency programmes to reduce heat demand are implemented across the UK's existing building stock, most of which will still be standing in 2050. Measures such as loft insulation, cavity wall insulation and solid wall insulation must be applied to over 25M homes and millions more non-residential buildings, reducing total heat demand by around 25%," it states.
The report makes the case for hybrid heat pump systems, the installation of an electrically-driven heat pump alongside a secondary heat source (such as a gas boiler) and control system – all in the same building. The rationale for deploying them are:
End-user acceptability
Lower levels of end-user disruption
Reducing near-term CO2 emissions
System flexibility
Lower overall infrastructure requirements
In its summary, it notes decarbonising heat is a true system challenge. "Not only will it require the rapid deployment of complex large-scale energy generation assets and upgrades to electricity and gas networks, but it means installing new heating systems into virtually every building in the country. Infrastructure delivery must be integrated and co-ordinated across multiple sectors and along the entire infrastructure value chain over a 30-year period."

I am impressed with the scare tactics of mother birds. I have a Killdeer that returns to the same spot in my yard each year to nest. The area is a little rough and rocky but I mow it anyway. Each time the tractor gets close the antics begin. I have to really watch closely to avoid running over the eggs, but when I am finished, the bird seems satisfied that she has saved her babies from disaster once more.


Like I have already said, welders and plasma cutters frequently do not run properly off generator power. Many generators do not produce clean, consistent power. To troubleshoot the machine I really recommend using grid 220.
How many people have to tell you to diag the machine on grid power before you do? If you want help then you have to listen to suggestions and take them seriously. Otherwise don't bother asking for help.
This is an incredibly helpful place for people who ask questions and take suggestions and criticism seriously. I hope you get it figured out but in the mean time try the little things we are saying.
is there some reason you are unable to test it on grid power??
Some generators do not provide clean enough power to support a welder..
What brand and model generator is it??
are you living off grid and not have grid power available??

I truly appreciate the help I've received so far here, and I don't want posts like yours to make people think I don't. I just don't have the capacity to try every suggestion right away. The gentleman from True Arc was generous enough to offer to let me bring the machine over and run it off his 240V mains. So tomorrow I'm going to haul it, plus my gas bottle and PPE to see if I can't get it to stall mid-weld again. If it doesn't, then that excludes pretty much everything except my grid at home. I'm not using a crappy generator, it's a Briggs and Stratton EXL8000, but of course any piece of equipment is capable of not working properly. But I did read a solid 240V coming from it, so who knows what the problem with it is. Is there any way to check the "cleanliness" of its power???
Last edited by kestrel452; 02-16-2014, 11:27 AM.
The ONLY way to verify that your genny isn't "dropping the ball" is to test it under load. Even a 1 kw genny will show you no voltage drop, even with a 1000' extension cord on it.
"clean" power should look like a smooth, un-distorted sine wave (google images with that phrase if you're not sure) - if you see anything else, especially "spikes", it's not "clean".
I don't have any fancy equipment like an oscilloscope. Can I use a multimeter to do it?
You wouldn't be able to tell about "clean" power, for that you need to see the actual waveform or have a REALLY fancy device called a waveform analyzer or similar - but if your multimeter is upscale enough to have a FREQUENCY reading, you could at least tell how much (if any) your genny is being loaded down when you first strike an arc - you'd still need a helper, either to weld while YOU look at the frequency, or vice versa.
I agree with the other posts though, I would first verify it isn't the welder itself - and that would be best done by having the seller VERIFY it's working on grid power, both 120 and 240 volt, with you WATCHING it happen.
Again, remember that measuring voltage at the other end of a NON-loaded extension cord you'll get the same reading using a 100 foot #22 gauge wire as you would with a 100 foot #2 gauge. Only real measurement of drop on a wire is under LOAD, measured AT THE WELDER - for that, you'd need a multi-plug adapter at the end of the cord closest to the welder, and plug your multimeter into the adapter. That way, you will see the voltage the welder is REALLY getting during welding.

What rest steps do you take?
I know on my cart the sheet metal is really close enough to bump the on/off switch so I put in a spacer...could this be causing an on/off flicker of the machine as you move around?
Well, there wasn't any difference in how long the welder took to crap out between using my 50' 10 gauge cord and just plugging it right into the genny, so the problem is not in between the welder and the generator.
If the machine proves to work flawlessly tomorrow, I think we'll know which end the problem is truly on. My question is, if it is indeed the generator's fault, then what in the world can I do to fix that? Take it in for service, or just accept the fact that Briggs/Generac makes crap and I'll be tied down to using a socket...?

Might be a good backup generator for executions at your local Pen, but I wouldn't use it on any expensive electronics.

DHEA Could Benefit Women Trying to Get Pregnant
KHOU.com, Aug 3, 2012
The hormone DHEA naturally occurs in the body, but levels decrease as we age. DHEA supplements can be bought over the counter. They have helped slow the progression of Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's, and arthritis. Now doctors at the Texas Fertility Center are studying the impact of DHEA on women trying to get pregnant. Dr. Natalie Burger, a physician at Texas Fertility Center, has implemented the DHEA supplement among dozens of patients pursuing IVF on a trial basis.

More U.S. Women Choosing IUDs for Birth Control: Study
Chicago Tribune, Aug 2, 2012
A growing number of U.S. women appear to be opting for intrauterine devices (IUDs) as their birth control method, with the number more than doubling in just two years in one study. Researchers, whose findings were published in the journal Fertility & Sterility, said this is good news, since IUDs and contraceptive implants are the most effective forms of reversible birth control. When IUDs first came out, there were concerns - later disproved - that they might raise the risk of pelvic infection and jeopardize women's future fertility.

Women Shop and Indulge Themselves During Fertility Days
Counsel & Heal, Aug 1, 2012
A new study finds that women spent the maximum time and money on their appearance, grooming and shopping during their most fertile time (roughly day eight to 15 of a 28-day cycle). Food consumption was found to be lowest during the fertility days and the appetites were found to be the maximum in the luteal or infertile phase of their menstrual cycle (roughly day 16 to 28 of a 28-day cycle). Also, researchers noted that women craved for high calorie food during their non fertile time.

Conception Plans Miscarry with Sperm DNA Damage
News Medical, July 30, 2012
Sperm with damaged DNA are more likely to cause spontaneous pregnancy loss, report researchers. However, it should be possible to reduce such losses during assisted conception if sperm are screened for DNA damage before injection, they say. In a meta-analysis of data from 16 studies, a significant relationship was found between having a high frequency of sperm with elevated DNA damage and miscarriage among 2,969 couples who conceived either spontaneously or via assisted conception.

Pace of Baby-Making Could Hold Clues to the Economy, Presidential Race
Fox News, July 30, 2012
Forget the polls. The gauge of success in this year's presidential election could come down to another indicator -- how many Americans are making babies. The fertility rate has long been linked by economists to the health of the economy. It's unclear what that rate will be come election day -- but right now, projections show confidence is down in an historic way. If the trend holds, it's another sign that President Obama will have to counter a pessimistic mood to win a second term.

Americans Put Off Having Babies Amid Poor Economy
USA Today, July 26, 2012
Twenty-somethings who postponed having babies because of the poor economy are still hesitant to jump in to parenthood — an unexpected consequence that has dropped the USA's birthrate to its lowest point in 25 years. The fertility rate is not expected to rebound for at least two years and could affect birthrates for years to come, according to Demographic Intelligence, a Charlottesville, Va., company that produces quarterly birth forecasts for consumer products and pharmaceutical giants such as Pfizer and Procter & Gamble.

The way our science fiction depicts life in space, you'd think you could do just about whatever you wanted. Well, apparently that's very false. You can't even have pizza in space. Or ice cream.
According to ABC News, pizza simply doesn't hold up in zero gravity. Neither does it freeze-dry or dehydrate very well. Meanwhile, there's no ice cream because there are no freezers. Which makes me wonder what we've been doing wrong that we haven't figured this out yet.
Also on the list of impossible things are doing your laundry (What must the International Space Station smell like??) and getting pregnant due to the dangers of intergalactic radiation. Terrifying.


With Valentine's Day right around the corner, there's a lot of talk about what true love is. Many people define love based on the loyalty, gifts, and efforts of another person. However, the Kingdom's definition of love is completely different from the world's. Learn about God's love for us and the call to love in these blog posts!
In my previous blog post, I wrote about God's unconditional love. While we know what it means for God to love us, what does it mean for us to love Him?
In the age of social media, we are just one swipe away from a meme that tells us what women should do to be loved. We must be loyal, ladylike, and submissive. All while keeping up with our appearance and caring for others by cooking, cleaning, and nurturing. In reality, none of these things make you lovable especially in God's kingdom.
