Carly Fiorina's campaign includes the rare job: "body woman"
In her six months working for Carly Fiorina, Rebecca Schieber has learned to always have a Sharpie pen handy for autographs. She's found ways to order the right vegetable-loaded meals on the road and become an expert at whisking her boss out of a room.
She's still working on keeping the candidate's favorite "crunchy gum" in her bulging bag.
Fiorina's Republican presidential campaign has served as a whirlwind political education for the 22-year-old, who graduated from Northwestern University in the spring.
"I don't think the books I read in college at all prepared me for this experience," says Schieber, a native of the Chicago suburbs who studied political science and American studies before coming to work for the GOP's lone female presidential candidate.
Schieber has landed in a rare position on the presidential campaign trail— working as a "body woman." The job isn't to provide security, but rather to act as more of a personal assistant, adviser and sidekick. It is typically held by men, perhaps because most candidates in both parties are male. And this remains the kind of up-close-and-personal gig where gender still plays a role in hiring decisions. It's not unusual for the aide to spend long days with the candidate, and late nights conferring in a hotel room.
Perhaps the best known "body man" around is Reggie Love, the college basketball star who became President Barack Obama's aide in the 2008 campaign. He wrote of his experiences in a memoir: "Power Forward: My Presidential Education."
Huma Abedin, who held the role on Hillary Rodham Clinton's staff in the White House and during Clinton's 2008 presidential race, is now a top adviser to Clinton's 2016 campaign and travels with her frequently.
Fiorina said that Schieber plays a key role in her campaign — and she's aware if the message it sends.
"Young women, I'm sure, look at Rebecca and say, 'Wow isn't that cool?'" Fiorina said. "And I think that's great because it opens up another window of possibility for them."
Since Schieber joined the campaign in March, Fiorina has steadily risen in the pack of Republican candidates. Fiorina's popularity surged after two strong debate performances, and polls show she is now in the top tier of candidates. She has also been among the most vocal critics of Clinton, arguing she is in the best position to take Clinton on in a general election.
Schieber, a Republican who studied the 2012 presidential race at college, admits she didn't know all that much about Fiorina when she first spoke to the campaign about the job. But she read the candidate's books and started following the media coverage.
Her responsibilities include whatever the candidate needs: minding the schedule, keeping Fiorina on time for events, helping remember names, taking photographs — and sometimes the impromptu sing-a-long in the car.
Some things have gotten easier, like food. "Any day I can find a salad, a salad with extra vegetables, maybe a little goat cheese, those are good days," Schieber said.
In dealing with crowds and campaign events, Schieber's secret weapon isn't her academic credentials, but the social skills she picked up from her mother, who teaches etiquette classes. Schieber says that poise helps her when she has to cut off a meeting or talk over people who are older or more experienced.
As the campaign heats up, Schieber is on the road a lot, but says her parents like the fact that "they can follow my life via Twitter and random news articles that I appear in the background."
After months of logging 12-hour days together on the road, Schieber is able to anticipate Fiorina's needs. In Iowa recently, she toted two purses — her black bag and Fiorina's brown one — as they attended tailgate festivities at the University of Iowa. Schieber had hairspray, mints, pantyhose, hand sanitizer, trail mix at the ready and alternated seamlessly between offering water, a pen or taking photographs as Fiorina shook hands and posed for photos.
"I couldn't do it without Rebecca. I really couldn't," Fiorina said. "She just takes on a set of things that I don't have to worry about any more."
For now, wherever Fiorina is headed, Schieber says she'll be right behind her. Next up, is to "be the personal assistant for the president of the United States."

Fires on vessels made of fibre-reinforced plastic (frp)
Serious fires have broken out on vessels with FRP materials. They appear to have been caused by overheating of the FRP from hot exhaust systems. FRP is combustible and introduces several challenges compared to traditional non-combustible materials. It is imperative that safety barriers and fire safety measures are in place.
Relevant for owners and managers, design offices, shipyards and subcontractors of HSLCs.
Course of events
On one vessel, a fire was thought to have originated in FRP panels above the exhaust in an area between the main engine room and the adjacent casing. Maintenance of the engines had previously been carried out, requiring removal of insulation.
On another vessel, a fire had likely started in a compartment with direct access to open air and adjacent to an auxiliary engine room. The engine exhaust is routed through the compartment housing the silencer or muffler. A low-pressure cooling water alarm was experienced followed by a high-temperature cooling water alarm, but without activation of the automatic engine shutdown.
The emergency situations created stress and confusion amongst the crew. The dilemmas were further compounded by the inappropriate location of on-board fire and evacuation procedures, which were also not properly understood or followed, causing wrong evasive actions. Amongst others, this resulted in the unintentional shutdown of generators, preventing operation of fixed fire-extinguishing equipment.
Extent of damage
In both cases, the fires were intense and spread rapidly, emitting dense smoke with hazardous toxic fumes. The fire on one vessel was contained, but with extensive material damage. The other vessel had to be evacuated and was declared a total loss. There were no reported injuries to any persons.
Probable causes
The immediate causes of the fires were likely due to a combination of missing insulation on FRP structural surfaces exposed to heat radiation or direct contact with hot exhaust parts and limited engine room ventilation. Overheating of exhausts could also develop suddenly due to insufficient cooling water. Other contributing factors might be issues with temperature sensors or the malfunction of the shutdown system.
FRP vessels are normally subject to compliance with either the 2000 HSC Code and/or DNV GL rules for classification – High speed and light craft (RU-HSLC) – and any additional requirements from flag states. Requirements to FRP materials are governed by the DNV GL rules for classification: Ships (RU-Ship) Pt.2 Ch.3. The design, construction and arrangement of the vessels were found to comply with applicable rules and regulations at the time of construction.
It should be mentioned that the ignition point of FRP materials is typically around 275 to 375°C, which is relatively low compared to metallic materials, i.e. aluminium alloys or steel. Operating temperatures of engines and exhausts can be considerably higher, and there is an inherent risk of fire if safety measures are not satisfactorily arranged or managed. Therefore, due attention to design details should cover the following:
Arrangement for cooling of the exhaust system using, for instance, water
Safety barriers: alarms for high engine temperature, high exhaust temperatures and cooling water pressure, and automatic shutdown of the engine
Alternative solutions, i.e. appropriate use of materials resistant to elevated temperatures that may occur in the event of a failure
Fire protection, detection and extinguishing arrangements in spaces where exhaust systems are routed. Exhaust should not pass through spaces with access to open air.
Engine room ventilation capacity and arrangement
DNV GL is presently reviewing the applicable regulations and classification requirements to ensure that a sufficient level of details in this context is stipulated and practiced. This may lead to changes in the rules. If potential gaps in the regulations are identified, DNV GL will pursue and propose recommendations to be brought forward to the IMO.
Yards and designers:
The machinery shall be designed to ensure the risks of fire are acceptably low; refer to the bullets mentioned under "Rules and regulations".
Ship owners and operators:
The machinery and associated parts are always to be kept well maintained and regularly checked under an inspection and monitoring regime, especially for control of hot spots and any signs of overheating. Where removal of insulation is necessary during modifications or other work, it is important that the insulation is correctly reinstalled and maintained to at least the original condition.
The safety management system shall be suitable for handling emergency situations based on the design, construction and arrangement of each vessel. For an FRP vessel, a realistic response time from when a fire is discovered must take into account the potentially high escalation rate of the fire and any practical aspects, i.e. availability and access to equipment and instructions. Adequate training of the crew for emergency preparedness, especially for fires and evacuations, is an area of concern and proper guidance must be provided in the form of applicable on-board procedures, operating instructions and signboards, etc.
As an immediate preventive measure, it is strongly advised that all relevant operational strategies are critically reviewed, amended as necessary and implemented without delay.

\section{Condensate existence and stability}

The necessary and sufficient condition for Bose-Einstein condensation is the spontaneous
breaking of global gauge symmetry $U(1)$ (see \cite{Lieb_1,Yukalov_2,Yukalov_3}). This
implies that below the Bose condensation temperature $T_c$ the statistical average of a
field operator $\langle \hat{\psi} \rangle$ becomes nonzero, since it is proportional
to $\sqrt{\rho_0}$, where $\rho_0 \equiv N_0/V$ is the average condensate density. According
to the Bogolubov-Ginibre theorem \cite{Bogolubov_4,Bogolubov_5,Ginibre_6} the condensate
density $\rho_0$ is a minimizer of thermodynamic potential. The same concerns the density
of uncondensed particles $\rho_1$ that can be expressed through $\rho_0$ as
$\rho_1 = \rho - \rho_0$, with $\rho$ being a fixed average particle density. Keeping this
in mind, it is possible to formulate the conditions of condensate existence and stability.
Below, we use the system of units, where the Planck and Boltzmann constants are set to one.

The general criterion of Bose-Einstein condensation is the occurrence of a nonzero
thermodynamic limit
\be
\label{1}
\lim_{V\ra\infty} \; \frac{N_0}{V} = \rho_0 > 0 \;   .
\ee
The number of condensed particles $N_0$ can be defined \cite{Penrose_7} as the largest
eigenvalue of the single-particle density matrix. Denoting the set of these eigenvalues
through $n_k$, with $k$ labelling the single-particle states, we have $N_0 = \sup_k n_k$.
Then limit (\ref{1}) implies that
\be
\label{2}
 \sup_k n_k \; \propto \; N \ra \infty \qquad ( N \ra \infty) \; .
\ee
The distribution $n_k = n_k(\varepsilon_k)$ is a function of the spectrum of collective
excitations $\varepsilon_k$. To have the above singularity in the thermodynamic limit,
there should exist an index $k_0$, such that $n_k$ would diverge, when $k \ra k_0$.
Respectively \cite{Yukalov_3}, for this index, the spectrum has to tend to zero,
\be
\label{3}
\ep_k \ra 0 \qquad ( k \ra k_0 ) \;  ,
\ee
which means that the spectrum is gapless. For a uniform system, $k$ represents momentum,
while $k_0$ becomes zero.

In the case of a uniform system, the gapless spectrum results \cite{Bogolubov_5,Hugenholtz_8}
in the first expression for the chemical potential
\be
\label{4}
\mu_1 = \Sigma_{11}(0,0) - \Sigma_{12}(0,0) \;  ,
\ee
called the Hugenholtz-Pines relation, where $\Sigma_{11}({\bf k},\omega)$ is the normal
self-energy and $\Sigma_{12}({\bf k},\omega)$ is the anomalous self-energy.

The system stability requires that the condensate density be the minimizer of thermodynamic
potential. This implies for the grand potential the condition
\be
\label{5}
 \frac{\prt\Om}{\prt N_0} = 0 \; ,
\ee
which gives \cite{Yukalov_3} the second expression for the chemical potential
\be
\label{6}
\mu_0 = \Sigma_{11}(0,0) + \Sigma_{12}(0,0) - 2\rho_0 \Phi_0 \;   ,
\ee
where $\Phi_0$ is the Fourier transform of the interaction potential at zero momentum.
As is evident, these two expressions $\mu_0$ and $\mu_1$, generally, do not coincide with
each other. They may coincide in some approximations (to be considered below) or when
$\Sigma_{12}(0,0) = 0$ and $\rho_0 = 0$, if particle interactions are not neglected. But
the latter simply means that there is no Bose condensate at al. It is possible to show
that equating $\mu_0$ and $\mu_1$, one comes to the conclusion \cite{Nepomnyashchii_9}
that $\Sigma_{12}(0,0) = 0$.

Thus we confront the problem of accepting for the chemical potential either $\mu_0$ or
$\mu_1$. However, if we accept $\mu_1$, then the condensate could exist, but it can be
not stable. While, if we accept $\mu_0$, the condensate could be stable, but it may
not exist. This is, actually, the meaning of the Hohenberg-Martin dilemma
\cite{Hohenberg_9}.

It is important to stress that there is no any thermodynamic requirement that the two
expressions for the chemical potential be equal \cite{Yukalov_10,Yukalov_11}. Thus, from
the variation of free energy the equality follows $(\mu_0-\mu_1)\dlt N_0=0$. It is only
if $N_0$ would be undefined and could be freely varied, the chemical potentials should
be equal. However, the number of condensed particles is prescribed by the conditions
of the condensate existence and stability, being uniquely defined for fixed temperature
and density. Hence $\dlt N_0 = 0$, because of which there is no any constraint on the
chemical potentials.

As an illustration of the possibility that the condensate could formally exist,
being in reality unstable, let us consider a uniform ideal Bose gas in the space of
dimensionality $d$. Then, below the condensation temperature
\be
\label{7}
 T_c = \frac{2\pi}{m} \left[ \frac{\rho}{g_{1/2}(1)} \right]^{1/d} \; ,
\ee
where $g_n$ is the modified Bose function \cite{Yukalov_11,Yukalov_12}, formally there occurs
Bose-Einstein condensation, when the condensate density becomes nonzero for any dimensionality
$d$. However, the stability condition for particle fluctuations
\be
\label{8a}
 0 \leq \frac{{\rm var}(\hat N)}{N} < \infty \qquad
\left( \; {\rm var}(\hat N) \equiv \lgl \hat N^2\rgl - \lgl \hat N \rgl^2 \; \right)
\ee
is valid not for all dimensionalities. It is possible to show \cite{Yukalov_13} that,
depending on spatial dimensionality, particle fluctuations scale as
$$
\frac{{\rm var}(\hat N)}{N} \; \propto \; N^3 \quad ( d = 1 ) \; ;
\qquad
\frac{{\rm var}(\hat N)}{N} \; \propto \; N \quad ( d = 2 ) \; ;
\qquad
\frac{{\rm var}(\hat N)}{N} \; \propto \; N^{1/3} \quad ( d = 3 ) \; ;
$$
$$
\frac{{\rm var}(\hat N)}{N} \; \propto \; \ln N \quad ( d = 4 ) \; ;
\qquad
\frac{{\rm var}(\hat N)}{N} \; \propto \; const \quad ( d > 4 ) \; .
$$
This tells us that the ideal system with a Bose-Einstein condensate can be stable only
for $d > 4$.

\section{General self-consistent approach}

Here, we describe a general self-consistent approach resolving the Hohenberg-Martin
dilemma. The Hamiltonian, in the second-quantized picture, is
$$
\hat H = \int \hat\psi^\dgr(\br)
\left( -\; \frac{\nabla^2}{2m} + U \right) \hat\psi(\br)\; d\br \; +
$$
\be
\label{8b}
+ \; \frac{1}{2} \int \hat\psi^\dgr(\br) \hat\psi^\dgr(\br')
\Phi(\br-\br') \hat\psi(\br') \hat\psi(\br) \; d\br d\br' \; ,
\ee
where $U = U({\bf r},t)$ is an external field, $\Phi({\bf r})$ is an interaction
potential and $\hat{\psi}({\bf r})$ are field operators obeying Bose commutation
relations. In the presence of a Bose condensate, the field operator acquires the
Bogolubov shift \cite{Bogolubov_4,Bogolubov_5,Bogolubov_14}
\be
\label{9}
 \hat\psi(\br) = \eta(\br) +\psi_1(\br) \; ,
\ee
in which $\eta$ is the condensate function and $\psi_1$ is the field operator of
uncondensed particles. Note that representation (\ref{9}) is not an approximation
but an exact canonical transformation. The variables $\eta$ and $\psi_1$ are mutually
orthogonal,
\be
\label{10}
 \int \eta^*(\br) \psi_1(\br) \; d\br = 0 \; .
\ee
The condensate function plays the role of an order parameter satisfying the equations
\be
\label{11}
\eta(\br) = \lgl \; \hat\psi(\br) \; \rgl \; , \qquad
\lgl \; \psi_1(\br) \; \rgl = 0 \; .
\ee

The condensate function is normalized to the number of condensed particles,
\be
\label{12}
 N_0 = \int |\; \eta(\br) \; |^2 \; d\br \; .
\ee
And the number of uncondensed particles is given by the statistical average
\be
\label{13}
N_1 = \lgl \; \hat N_1 \; \rgl \; ; \qquad \hat N_1 \equiv
\int \psi_1^\dgr(\br) \psi_1(\br) \; d\br
\ee
for the number-of-particle operator of uncondensed particles. Condition
$\langle \psi_1 \rangle = 0$ in a more general form writes as the average
\be
\label{14}
 \lgl \; \hat\Lbd \; \rgl = 0
\ee
of the operator
$$
\hat\Lbd  \equiv \int \left[ \lbd(\br)\psi_1^\dgr(\br) +
\lbd^*(\br)\psi_1(\br) \right] \; d\br \;  .
$$
The grand Hamiltonian, taking into account the normalization conditions (\ref{12})
and (\ref{13}) and average (\ref{14}), becomes
\be
\label{15}
 H = \hat H - \mu_0 N_0 - \mu_1 \hat N_1 - \hat\Lbd \;  ,
\ee
in which $\mu_0$, $\mu_1$, and $\lbd({\bf r})$ are the Lagrange multipliers
guaranteeing the validity of conditions (\ref{12}), (\ref{13}), and (\ref{14}).

The equations of motion can be written as the equation for the condensate function
\be
\label{16}
i \; \frac{\prt}{\prt t} \; \eta(\br,t) = \left\lgl \;
\frac{\dlt H}{\dlt\eta^*(\br,t)} \; \right\rgl
\ee
and for the operator of uncondensed particles
\be
\label{17}
 i \; \frac{\prt}{\prt t} \; \psi_1(\br,t) =
\frac{\dlt H}{\dlt\psi_1^\dgr(\br,t)} \; .
\ee
The operator equation (\ref{17}) is equivalent to the Heisenberg equation of motion,
since it can be proved \cite{Yukalov_3} that
\be
\label{18}
 \frac{\dlt H}{\dlt\psi_1^\dgr(\br,t)} = [\; \psi_1(\br,t) , \; H \; ] \; .
\ee
The system chemical potential takes the form
\be
\label{19}
\mu = \mu_0 n_0 + \mu_1 n_1 \qquad \left( n_0 \equiv \frac{N_0}{N} \; , ~~
 n_1 \equiv \frac{N_1}{N} \right) \; .
\ee

This general approach includes the particular case, when the chemical potentials
$\mu_0$ and $\mu_1$ are equal, which can happen in some simple approximations shown
below.

\section{Quasiclassical approximation}

At asymptotically small temperature and weak interactions, when
\be
\label{20}
 T \ra 0 \; , \qquad \rho\Phi_0 \ra 0 \; ; \qquad
\Phi_0 \equiv \int \Phi(\br) \; d\br \;  ,
\ee
almost all the system is Bose-condensed, hence it is in a coherent state, which is
the eigenstate of the field operator,
\be
\label{21}
 \hat\psi(\br,t) \; | \; \eta \; \rgl = \eta(\br,t) \; | \; \eta \; \rgl \; .
\ee
The condensate function is defined by the coherent field $\eta({\bf r},t)$, for which
Eq. (\ref{16}) yields the nonlinear Schr\"{o}dinger equation
\be
\label{22}
i \; \frac{\prt}{\prt t} \; \eta(\br,t) = H[\; \eta \; ] \; \eta(\br,t) \; ,
\ee
with the nonlinear Hamiltonian
\be
\label{23}
H[\; \eta \; ] = -\; \frac{\nabla^2}{2m} + U(\br,t) - \mu +
\int \Phi(\br-\br') \; |\; \eta(\br',t)\; |^2 \; d\br' \;  .
\ee
Equation (\ref{22}) was, first, advanced by Bogolubov in 1949 \cite{Bogolubov_15}
(see also \cite{Bogolubov_4,Bogolubov_5,Bogolubov_14}).

For a uniform system, considering small deviations of the condensate function
\be
\label{24}
 \eta(\br,t) = \sqrt{\rho_0}\; + \; ue^{-i\ep t} \; + \; v^* e^{i\ep t} \;  ,
\ee
one obtains the Bogolubov spectrum
\be
\label{25}
 \ep_k = \sqrt{c_B^2 k^2 + \left( \frac{k^2}{2m} \right)^2} \qquad
\left(\; c_B \equiv \sqrt{\frac{\rho}{m} }\; \Phi_0 \; \right) \; ,
\ee
with the Bogolubov sound velocity $c_B$.

In the quasiclassical approximation, the chemical potentials $\mu_0$ and $\mu_1$
coincide, being equal to $\mu = \rho \Phi_0$.

\section{Bogolubov approximation}

This approximation is applicable for temperatures much lower than the
condensation temperature, $T \ll T_c$, and weak interactions, such that the
characteristic interaction energy be much lower than the characteristic kinetic
energy $E_{kin} \sim 1/2m a^2$, where $a$ is mean interparticle distance. The
latter condition gives the inequality
\be
\label{26}
  m\rho^{1/3} | \; \Phi_0 \; | \ll 1 \; .
\ee

In the Bogolubov approximation \cite{Bogolubov_4,Bogolubov_5}, one neglects in
the Hamiltonian the fourth-order operator terms like $\psi_1^\dgr\psi_1^\dgr\psi_1\psi_1$.
As a result, one gets the spectrum of collective excitations (\ref{25}) and the same
chemical potentials $\mu_0=\mu_1=\mu=\rho\Phi_0$. But not all particles are condensed,
even at zero temperature, since interactions deplete the condensate, whose density
becomes
\be
\label{27}
 \rho_B  = \rho \left( 1 \; - \; \frac{8}{3\sqrt{\pi} }\; \gm^{3/2} \right) \; ,
\ee
where
$$
\gm \equiv \rho^{1/3} a_s = \frac{m}{4\pi} \; \rho^{1/3}\Phi_0
$$
is the dimensionless gas parameter, with $a_s$ being scattering length.

\section{Hartree-Fock-Bogolubov approximation}

In the Hartree-Fock-Bogolubov approximation, the fourth-order operator terms are
decoupled into second-order terms, so that for the fourth-order correlators one gets
\be
\label{28}
 \lgl \; \psi^\dgr_1 \psi^\dgr_1 \psi_1 \psi_1 \; \rgl =
\lgl \; \psi^\dgr_1 \psi_1 \; \rgl  \lgl \; \psi^\dgr_1 \psi_1 \; \rgl +
\lgl \; \psi^\dgr_1 \psi_1 \; \rgl  \lgl \; \psi^\dgr_1 \psi_1 \; \rgl +
\lgl \; \psi^\dgr_1 \psi^\dgr_1 \; \rgl  \lgl \; \psi_1 \psi_1 \; \rgl \; .
\ee
For a uniform system, the self-energies at zero variables become
$$
\Sigma_{11}(0,) = (\rho + \rho_0)\Phi_0 +
\int \Phi(\br) \lgl \; \psi^\dgr_1(0) \psi_1(\br) \; \rgl \; d\br \; ,
$$
\be
\label{29}
\Sigma_{12}(0,) = \rho_0\Phi_0 +
\int \Phi(\br) \lgl \; \psi_1(0) \psi_1(\br) \; \rgl \; d\br \; .
\ee
This yields the chemical potentials
$$
\mu_0 = \rho\Phi_0 + \int \Phi(\br) ( \; \lgl \; \psi^\dgr_1(0) \psi_1(\br)\; \rgl
+ \lgl \; \psi_1(0) \psi_1(\br)\; \rgl \; ) d\br \; ,
$$
\be
\label{30}
\mu_1 = \rho\Phi_0 + \int \Phi(\br) ( \; \lgl \; \psi^\dgr_1(0) \psi_1(\br)\; \rgl
- \lgl \; \psi_1(0) \psi_1(\br)\; \rgl \; ) d\br \; ,
\ee
that are evidently different \cite{Yukalov_3,Yukalov_10}.

For a dilute gas, it is possible to use the local interaction potential
\be
\label{31}
\Phi(\br) = \Phi_0 \dlt(\br) \qquad
\left( \Phi_0 = 4\pi\; \frac{a_s}{m} \right) \;  .
\ee
This gives the spectrum of collective excitations
\be
\label{32}
\ep_k = \sqrt{c^2k^2 + \left( \frac{k^2}{2m}\right)^2}
\ee
that looks similar to the Bogolubov spectrum (\ref{25}), however with the sound
velocity $c$ defined by the equation
\be
\label{33}
mc^2 = \rho\Phi_0 ( n_0 + \sgm )  \; ,
\ee
where $n_0 \equiv \rho_0/\rho$ and $\sigma$ is the anomalous average
\be
\label{34}
 \sgm = \frac{1}{\rho} \; \lgl \; \psi_1(\br) \psi_1(\br) \; \rgl \; .
\ee
In dimensionless variables
\be
\label{35}
s \equiv \frac{mc}{\rho^{1/3} } \; , \qquad \gm \equiv \rho^{1/3} a_s \; ,
\ee
the equation for the sound velocity reads as
\be
\label{36}
 s^2 = 4\pi\gm ( n_0 + \sgm ) \; .
\ee

The anomalous average can be represented as the sum of two terms, $\sgm=\sgm_0+\sgm_T$,
where the first term is the value of $\sgm$ at zero temperature,
\be
\label{37}
 \sgm_0 = -\;
\frac{mc^2}{2\rho} \int \frac{1}{\ep_k} \; \frac{d\bk}{(2\pi)^3} \;  .
\ee
This term displays an ultraviolet divergence and requires a regularization. We employ
the dimensional regularization that is asymptotically exact for small interactions,
when $\Phi_0\ra 0$. After accomplishing the dimensional regularization, it is necessary
to analytically continue the obtained expression to finite interactions. The analytical
continuation can be done by means of an iterative procedure \cite{Yukalov_16,Yukalov_17}
starting from the ideal-gas limit, where $\sgm_0\ra 0$ for $\Phi_0\ra 0$ and respecting
the symmetry-restoration limit, when $\sgm_0\ra 0$ for $n_0 \ra 0$. This procedure
results in the expression
\be
\label{38}
 \sgm_0 =  \frac{s_B^3}{\pi^2} \left(\; n_0 +
\frac{s_B^3}{\pi^2} \; \sqrt{n_0} \;\right)^{1/2} \; ,
\ee
with the dimensionless Bogolubov sound velocity
$$
 s_B \equiv \frac{mc_B}{\rho^{1/3} } = \sqrt{4\pi\gm } \; .
$$
Using the definition of the gas parameter $\gamma$, we find
\be
\label{39}
  \sgm_0 =  \frac{8}{\sqrt{\pi} }\; \gm^{3/2} \; \left(\; n_0 +
\frac{8}{\sqrt{\pi} } \; \gm^{3/2} \; \sqrt{n_0} \;\right)^{1/2} \;  .
\ee

\section{Numerical calculations}

The theory presented in the previous section has been applied for calculating the
condensate density $n_0$ and superfluid faction $n_s$ in uniform and harmonically
trapped systems \cite{Yukalov_16,Yukalov_18,Yukalov_19}. The results are shown in
Figs. 1 to 5. In Fig. 1, the condensate fraction $n_0$, for a uniform system, as a
function of temperature, in the vicinity of the condensation temperature, demonstrates
that the Bose-Einstein condensation transition is of second order for any interaction
strength, as it should be. Temperature here is measured in units of $m/ \rho^{2/3}$,
and the interaction strength is characterized by the gas parameter $\gm$. The
superfluid fraction $n_s$ appears at the same critical point, as is seen in Fig. 2.
In  Fig. 3, we study the calculated condensate density $n_0$, for a uniform system
at zero temperature as a function of the gas parameter and compare it with the Monte
Carlo simulations \cite{Rossi_20} and the Bogolubov approximation $n_B$. In Fig 4, we
show the effect of local condensate depletion at trap center occurring for the gas
parameter $\gm>0.3$. And Fig. 5 shows the average condensate density in a harmonic trap
as a function of the gas parameter, compared with the Bogolubov approximation
\cite{Javanainen_21} and the Monte Carlo simulations \cite{DuBois_22}. The calculated
results, based on the Hartree-Fock-Bogolubov approximation, are in good agreement with
experiments and Monte Carlo simulations, contrary to the Bogolubov approximation valid
only for weak interactions, where $\gm<0.1$.

Instead of the hesitation with which he had accosted the cardinal a quarter of an hour before, there might be read in the eyes of the young king that will against which a struggle might be maintained, and which might be crushed by its own impotence, but which, at least, would preserve, like a wound in the depth of the heart, the remembrance of its defeat.
There is increasing interest in the group of patients who fail to respond to treatment with PDE-5 inhibitors and have low serum testosterone levels. Evidence from placebo-controlled trials in this group of men shows that testosterone treatment added to PDE-5 inhibitors improves erectile function compared to PDE-5 inhibitors alone (Aversa et al 2003; Shabsigh et al 2004).
You should talk to your doctor about possible treatments. You may want to talk to other patients who have had the treatment planned for you. You also may want to seek a second doctor's opinion about surgery before making your decision. You may find it difficult to talk to your doctor about impotence. You will want to find a doctor who treats this condition and will help you feel comfortable talking about the problem and choosing the best treatment. You can also get more information by contacting your local National Kidney Foundation affiliate.
Testosterone is significantly correlated with aggression and competitive behaviour and is directly facilitated by the latter. There are two theories on the role of testosterone in aggression and competition.[77] The first one is the challenge hypothesis which states that testosterone would increase during puberty thus facilitating reproductive and competitive behaviour which would include aggression.[77] Thus it is the challenge of competition among males of the species that facilitates aggression and violence.[77] Studies conducted have found direct correlation between testosterone and dominance especially among the most violent criminals in prison who had the highest testosterone levels.[77] The same research also found fathers (those outside competitive environments) had the lowest testosterone levels compared to other males.[77]
Modern drug therapy for ED made a significant advance in 1983, when British physiologist Giles Brindley dropped his trousers and demonstrated to a shocked Urodynamics Society audience his papaverine-induced erection.[35] The drug Brindley injected into his penis was a non-specific vasodilator, an alpha-blocking agent, and the mechanism of action was clearly corporal smooth muscle relaxation. The effect that Brindley discovered established the fundamentals for the later development of specific, safe, and orally effective drug therapies.[36][better source needed][37][better source needed]
This post can absolutely change your life, and probably help you avoid some pitfalls. Like shrunken balls. (I am not an expert in the synthetic anabolic testosterone drugs used by bodybuilders — they carry lots of risks but pack a big punch if you want to get swole. Bulletproof is all about having massive clean energy, looking good, and living a very long time…so anabolic steroids aren't on my roadmap.)
"Low T" is anything but inevitable. BMJ's Drug and Therapeutics Bulletin says that around 80 percent of 60-year-old men, and half of those in their eighties, have testosterone levels within the normal range for younger men. It concluded, "The evidence that an age-related reduction in testosterone levels causes specific symptoms is weak." The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) meanwhile has not approved testosterone use to improve strength, athletic performance, physical appearance, or prevent aging. And a 2004 report from the Institute of Medicine ("Testosterone and Aging: Clinical Research Directions") called TRT for age-related testosterone decline a "scientifically unproven method."
Between 10 and 88% of patients diagnosed with cancer experience sexual problems following diagnosis and treatment. The prevalence varies according to the location and type of cancer, and the treatment modalities used. Sexuality may be affected by chemotherapy, alterations in body image due to weight change, hair loss or surgical disfigurement, hormonal changes, and cancer treatments that directly affect the pelvic region.
This evidence, together with the beneficial effects of testosterone replacement on central obesity and diabetes, raises the question whether testosterone treatment could be beneficial in preventing or treating atherosclerosis. No trial of sufficient size or duration has investigated the effect of testosterone replacement in primary or secondary prevention cardiovascular disease. The absence of such data leads us to examine the relationship of testosterone to other cardiovascular risk factors, such as adverse lipid parameters, blood pressure, endothelial dysfunction, coagulation factors, inflammatory markers and cytokines. This analysis can supply evidence of the likely effects of testosterone on overall cardiovascular risk. This has limitations, however, including the potential for diverging effects of testosterone on the various factors involved and the resultant impossibility of accurately predicting the relative impact of such changes.

Most studies support a link between adult criminality and testosterone, although the relationship is modest if examined separately for each sex. Nearly all studies of juvenile delinquency and testosterone are not significant. Most studies have also found testosterone to be associated with behaviors or personality traits linked with criminality such as antisocial behavior and alcoholism. Many studies have also been done on the relationship between more general aggressive behavior/feelings and testosterone. About half the studies have found a relationship and about half no relationship.[66]
TT may help you but it may have adverse (harmful) results. (See discussion of these side effects below.) The Federal Drug Administration (FDA) has said that testosterone drug labels should state that there is a risk for heart disease and stroke for some men using testosterone products. All men should be checked for heart disease and stroke before, and periodically while on, TT. The AUA however, on careful review of evidence-based peer review literature, has stated that there is no strong evidence that TT either increases or decreases the risk of cardiovascular events.
In men with hypogonadism, a low level of testosterone is produced due to a problem in the testicles or the pituitary gland. According to Harvard Medical School, determining exactly what constitutes a low testosterone level is a controversial matter. Levels of this hormone fluctuate wildly and even vary according to the time of day. However, generally physicians only decide to treat a patient for hypogonadism if the blood testosterone level is below 300 ng/dL and the following symptoms outlined by The National Institutes of Health are present.
Lifestyle choices that impair blood circulation can contribute to ED. Smoking, excessive drinking, and drug abuse may damage the blood vessels and reduce blood flow to the penis. Smoking makes men with atherosclerosis particularly vulnerable to ED. Being overweight and getting too little exercise also contribute to ED. Studies indicate that men who exercise regularly have a lower risk of ED.
Dr. Ronald Swerdloff, chief of the endocrinology division at the Harbor-UCLA Medical Center and a professor of medicine at UCLA's David Geffen School of Medicine, served on the panel of experts who developed the Endocrine Society's guidelines. He is also the principal investigator for one of the 12 sites of The Testosterone Trial in Older Men, a nationwide study funded mainly by the National Institute on Aging. The study of 800 men over age 65 with low testosterone is looking at whether men using AndroGel for one year, compared to placebo, will show improvements in walking speed, sexual activity, vitality, memory, and anemia. The study will be completed in June 2015.
The regulation of testosterone production is tightly controlled to maintain normal levels in blood, although levels are usually highest in the morning and fall after that. The hypothalamus and the pituitary gland are important in controlling the amount of testosterone produced by the testes. In response to gonadotrophin-releasing hormone from the hypothalamus, the pituitary gland produces luteinising hormone which travels in the bloodstream to the gonads and stimulates the production and release of testosterone.
Patients receiving penile prostheses should be instructed in the operation of the prosthesis before surgery and again in the postoperative period. The prosthesis usually is not activated until approximately 6 weeks after surgery, so as to allow the edema and pain to subside. The prosthesis is checked in the office before the patient begins to use it.
There is a negative correlation of testosterone levels with plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) (Glueck et al 1993; Phillips 1993), which is a major prothrombotic factor and known to be associated with progression of atherosclerosis, as well as other prothrombotic factors fibrinogen, α2-antiplasmin and factor VII (Bonithon-Kopp et al 1988; Glueck et al 1993; Phillips 1993; De Pergola et al 1997). There is a positive correlation with tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) which is one of the major fibrinolytic agents (Glueck et al 1993). Interventional trials have shown a neutral effect of physiological testosterone replacement on the major clotting factors (Smith et al 2005) but supraphysiological androgen administration can produce a temporary mild pro-coagulant effect (Anderson et al 1995).
For best results, men with ED take these pills about an hour or two before having sex. The drugs require normal nerve function to the penis. PDE5 inhibitors improve on normal erectile responses helping blood flow into the penis. Use these drugs as directed. About 7 out of 10 men do well and have better erections. Response rates are lower for Diabetics and cancer patients.
Type 2 diabetes is an important condition in terms of morbidity and mortality, and the prevalence is increasing in the developed and developing world. The prevalence also increases with age. Insulin resistance is a primary pathological feature of type 2 diabetes and predates the onset of diabetes by many years, during which time raised serum insulin levels compensate and maintain normoglycemia. Insulin resistance and/or impaired glucose tolerance are also part of the metabolic syndrome which also comprises an abnormal serum lipid profile, central obesity and hypertension. The metabolic syndrome can be considered to be a pre-diabetic condition and is itself linked to cardiovascular mortality. Table 1 shows the three commonly used definitions of the metabolic syndrome as per WHO, NCEPIII and IDF respectively (WHO 1999; NCEPIII 2001; Zimmet et al 2005).

A simple blood test can determine testosterone levels. There is a wide range of "normal" or healthy level of testosterone circulating in the bloodstream. The normal range of testosterone for men is between 250 and 1100 ng/dL for adult males, and between 8 and 60 ng/dL for adult females, according to the Mayo Clinic. Ask your doctor to test your testosterone levels if you have concerns about low testosterone (low T).
Following a detailed discussion about the history of erectile dysfunction and its risk factors, your doctor will examine the testicles and penis to help determine the cause of erectile dysfunction. Your doctor will check reflexes and pulses in the area to see if problems with blood vessels or nerves are contributing to the erectile dysfunction. If necessary, your doctor will order tests to help diagnose erectile dysfunction.
Erectile dysfunction (ED) affects 50% of men older than 40 years, [4] exerting substantial effects on quality of life. [5] This common problem is complex and involves multiple pathways. Penile erections are produced by an integration of physiologic processes involving the central nervous, peripheral nervous, hormonal, and vascular systems. Any abnormality in these systems, whether from medication or disease, has a significant impact on the ability to develop and sustain an erection, ejaculate, and experience orgasm.

Ducati Presents New Multistrada V2
The first episode of the Ducati World Première 2022 web series is dedicated by the Borgo Panigale manufacturer to the world of travel, with the presentation of the new Multistrada V2: the ideal bike to enjoy every route, versatile in everyday use and in the city, always with the sportiness and unmistakable style that characterize every Ducati.
With the Multistrada V2 project, the Borgo Panigale company has worked to further evolve the twin-cylinder of the family of Ducati dual bikes, creating a 360° bike, increasingly intuitive, comfortable, fun and accessible.
The new Multistrada V2 is a technologically advanced motorcycle, with an extremely complete electronic package that represents the perfect gateway into the Ducati tourer universe.
During the development phases of this bike the main points of focus were ergonomics, weight reduction, engine updates and a series of upgrades that follow the philosophy of "continuous improvement."
The design of the Multistrada V2 is elegant and sporty at the same time, perfectly in line with the stylistic and recognizable canons of the Borgo Panigale family of dual bikes. A style characterized by fluid lines, clean surfaces and the characteristic and distinctive balance between the important front volume and the slenderness and lightness of the rear. The Multistrada V2 also features new refined graphics, which show the name of the bike on both sides.
The new Multistrada V2 is equipped with the latest evolution of the 937 cc Testastretta 11° unit. The desmodromic distribution engine, four valves per cylinder, water-cooled, delivers 113 horsepower. This twin-cylinder is very linear, manageable and smooth at low revs, and is equipped with a torque that is always ready and vigorous, which if necessary can release all Ducati's typical sporty and adrenaline-pumping character. Consistent and robust, the engine has extended maintenance intervals, with an oil change every 9,321 miles (15,000 km) and valve clearance check every 18,641 miles (30,000 km).
The evolution of the Testastretta 11° mounted on the new Multistrada V2 features important improvements: new connecting rods, new 8-disc hydraulic clutch and an updated gearbox, which guarantees greater fluidity and precision in shifting, also facilitating the engagement of neutral. An even more appreciable progress in use in conjunction with the quick shifter, now with a further optimized operating strategy.
The bike's chassis is agile and intuitive, with a 19″ front wheel that ensures a smooth, comfortable ride, always with the right level of reactivity and precision. Extremely versatile, the bike is also ideal for urban use, thanks to the effectiveness of the Ducati Skyhook Suspension EVO semi-active suspension system (standard on the S version), which can absorb roughness and unevenness of the ground and always guarantee the ideal set-up of the vehicle, improving safety and comfort.
Important development work has been made on the ergonomics of the bike, to make it more comfortable and more intuitive, able to put any rider at ease in any situation. The height has been reduced to 32.7 inches (830 mm), with a redesigned shape of the saddle which is now narrower and more compact between the rider's legs to allow you to easily touch the ground with your feet thanks to an inseam arch of only 70.5 inches (1790 mm).
These changes provide safety when the bike is stationary and improve confidence when maneuvering at low speed even with a passenger and full cases. Furthermore, in the Ducati Performance catalogue a low seat and a lowered suspension kit are available which, combined, allow you to reach a height of 31.1 inches (790 mm).
The work on the seat also focused on riding comfort: the new shape of the saddle provides a flat area that guarantees the rider freedom of movement in the longitudinal direction, improving the level of comfort and allowing anyone to find the optimal position.
The riding position is now more comfortable with the new foot pegs inherited from the Multistrada V4 which, thanks to a 0.4 inch (10 mm) increase in distance from the seat, ensure the right amount of room also for taller riders, preventing them from bending their legs excessively, and thus allowing a more restful position during long journeys.
Another key area of improvement is the reduction in the bike's weight, which, through work on many elements, has resulted in a reduction of 11 lbs. (5 kg) in weight compared to the Multistrada 950.
The engine update has produced a saving of about 4 lbs. (2 kg), including the clutch (3.3 lbs./ 1.5 kg) and its cover, gearbox drum and connecting rods. Various parts of the vehicle have been lightened, including the mirrors, derived from Multistrada V4, the front brake disc flanges and the rims: the new Multistrada V2 mounts rims derived from the Multistrada V4, which are about 3.7 lbs. (1.7 kg) lighter, thus generating an important improvement in the dynamic behavior of the vehicle. Spoked wheels are also available in the Ducati Performance catalogue, which have been significantly lightened.
The Multistrada V2 is equipped as standard with a state-of-the-art electronic package that offers everything you need to travel in comfort and safety. The package includes ABS Cornering, which guarantees a high degree of safety when braking even when cornering, Vehicle Hold Control, which makes starting on sloping roads easy, Ducati Traction Control, the four Riding Modes (Sport, Touring, Urban, Enduro) completely configurable by the user and the new featured Ducati Brake Light system which, in the event of sudden braking, automatically activates the flashing of the rear light in order to signal the condition of sudden slowing down appropriately.
In the S version the journey becomes 5-star thanks to a benchmark full-optional package for the segment, which sees the addition of the Skyhook electronic suspension, Cruise Control, full-LED headlight equipped with Ducati Cornering Lights function which optimizes the illumination of the roadway based on the lean of the motorcycle, Ducati Quick Shift Up & Down, Hands Free system, a high resolution 5" color TFT dashboard with intuitive interface and backlit handlebar controls.
The color range consists of the classic "Ducati Red" color with black rims, available for both Multistrada V2 and Multistrada V2 S, together with the new "Street Grey" livery with black frame and "GP Red" rims, which can only be ordered for the version S. United States pricing for the Multistrada V2 will begin at an MSRP of $15,295 USD and Canadian pricing $16,995 CAD.

Hi, everyone, this is Sandy (for Doug), with this month's Traffic Report - our fifth month as a subscriber-supported group and our wonderful contributors continue to break daily posting records with a fury!! Our Contributors are the best!! If you read a post that you particularly liked - a little "fan mail" to the contributor is always welcomed! Just remember to hit the "Reply:" on the email and do not send your personal message to the whole group!
Once a month, during the first part of the month, the Traffic Report is usually posted to the entire humor list. We're doing something a little different - posting the monthly Traffic Report directly to our website and providing everyone a link. With fingers crossed, Doug should be returning and taking over the Traffic Report again January 2018. Welcome back!!
It's the holiday month, and in that spirit, we ran another contest, "The 12 Days of Christmas," with the original-humorlist@simplelists group. We're happy to announce of the 900+ members who remain on that list, we were able to add 60+ new members - and 2 supporting-subscribers!
391 posts for December! The Humor List (in any of it's past formats) hasn't seen over 390 post since April 1997. That Traffic Report is also showing they had 841-845 contributors ... and we had 18 contributors posting! Thank you so much for the efforts from all of you!!
** Special mention to the 4 Contributors that posted daily for December - MsSam, George Matyjewicz, Admin1, and Bill Eagle!
How does the Admin Staff adequately thank all of the contributors for the amazing finish we had for 2017? We came up from rock bottom in June, transitioned to the new format, then took off like sky rockets!
Down to business: While The Humor List no longer has the limit of one post per contributor, per day, the purpose of The Humor List is to provide a variety of humor without overwhelming everyone's personal email accounts. Please try to limit daily posts to no more than 3 daily.
Another quick reminder - SimpleLists adds a footer to every email it sends out. Adding 2-3 line breaks after your post gives a less confusing separation.
We have the best group of contributors - some posting every day and some posting multiple times daily. If you'd like information on how to join this elite group of merry men (and women) - send one of the Admin staff an email and we'll gladly answer all your questions. Everyone subscribing to The Humor List is encouraged to become a Contributor. Send your humor to thehumorlist@simplelists.com.
- Keep in mind that new Contributors are moderated until they can demonstrate an understanding and compliance of The Rules.
- You will not immediately see your posts (if you receive individual postings) until they are approved by Doug or Sandy.
(1) The past statistics are based on addresses registered to our Listserver. It does not include addresses which receive HUMOR by other than direct mailings. The numbers include only non-concealed subscribers.
(2) While the information was interesting, because of the way mailing programs have become so universal, there's no way to accurately track the number of countries currently receiving The Humor List. We will be discontinuing the reporting of "Countries" in our monthly statistics.
* Contributed every day of the available month!.
On the "Daily Submission Counts", although more than one joke may be submitted per day, only one submission per day is countable for those totals. Submission dates are currently based upon Pacific Standard Time (2300-2259).
A daily average of 5-10 examples of humor.
Protection of sensitivities for readers (Subject Line Warning Requirement).
(1) Six rules protect HUMOR members from excessive traffic.
- Only substantial examples of humor should be posted.
- Discussion, requests, criticisms, questions should not be posted.
- Conserve bandwidth: Avoid blank lines. No ASCII files. No signature file preferred.
- While multiple posts are allowed, limit post to NO MORE THAN 3 per day.
- NO SPAMMING! A spammer will receive one warning before they are deleted and blocked. This is that one warning!
- NO links or attached files - with the exception of official business by the administrators.
(2) Three rules protect HUMOR from complaints.
- Subject line should disclose the subject of the humor.
- Subject line should include warning if potentially offensive.
- A CONTRIBUTOR WHO REPEATEDLY VIOLATES ANY OF THESE RULES, AFTER BEING WARNED, WILL BE SUSPENDED.
4) One of the factors in deciding to allow SIMPLELISTS to become our new mailing list service was their strict anti-spamming policy. After completing the SIMPLELIST form, you will be sent a "Request to join mailing list thehumorlist@simplelists.com" email with a confirmation link. Be sure to confirm your email address. If a subscriber has not "confirmed" their email address - SIMPLELISTS will not allow us to include their email address for daily mailings.
Effective August 1, 2017, The Humor List became a subscriber-supported list, with our list-mailing service being managed through SIMPLELISTS. New information is now available for subscriptions, 12 months of current archives, and account management. You will also find all of this information on every post you receive.
TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THE HUMOR LIST: Individualized link is included on every email that subscribers received.
Joke: Every Christmas morning, when my kids were little, I read them the nativity story out of the big family bible.
When the youngest was old enough to talk, she asked me what a stable was.
I thought for a moment how to explain it to her in terms she could understand, then told her, "It's something like your sister's room, but without a stereo."

hub by Premier Inn Launches Booking App
HUB BY PREMIER INN LAUNCHES BOOKING APP AT THE HEART OF ITS NEW HOTEL CONCEPT
ROOMS AT COVENT GARDEN FLAGSHIP HOTEL NOW AVAILABLE TO BOOK USING THE DEDICATED APP
In an industry-first, hub by Premier Inn, Whitbread's new technology-enabled concept brand, will open bookings for its first hotel exclusively via a dedicated app, available on both iOS and Android devices
From today, guests wishing to stay at the flagship hub by Premier Inn Covent Garden can use the app to check availability and book a room in minutes. Then, when they arrive, they can use the same app to control various settings in their room, such as changing the channel on the smart TV, or adjusting the room temperature and lights. The app also provides guests with a detailed local area guide, hosting a careful edit of the hottest places to go and things to do, allowing guests to experience the city like a local.
The new hotel concept benefits from the knowledge and industry expertise of the nation's favourite hotel chain, Premier Inn. Over four years in development and testing, hub by Premier Inn has been shaped by extensive guest research and aims to capture the imagination of guests who already rely on technology for many other aspects of their everyday lives.
Simon Ewins, Business Development Director for Whitbread Hotels & Restaurants commented:
"Whether it's for business or pleasure, the way we choose to travel and experience a city is changing. Apps are already revolutionising the way we order our groceries, book taxis, and check-in at airports, it was only a matter of time before the hotel experience followed suit. With hub by Premier Inn, we believe we've created a first-class technology-enhanced hotel experience, without compromising price, style or comfort. Launching bookings for hub by Premier Inn with our app is the first step in demonstrating how, with a simple swipe or push of a button, our guests can be in total control of their own experience."
Hub by Premier Inn's compact rooms include smart storage units to make the best possible use of space. The stylish, modern design creates a calm, uncluttered environment for city travellers. Each room comes equipped with the latest technology, including a 40-inch smart TV, giving guests access to movies, games, the internet, and catch-up TV. There is also free, high-speed Wi-Fi available throughout the hotel.
Finally, it goes without saying that hub by Premier Inn has learnt from the best - every room includes the first-class Premier Inn Hypnos pocket-sprung mattress and excellent sound proofing to ensure a great night's sleep is had by all.
The upcoming launch of the flagship hotel in November signals the start of an ambitious expansion plan. Hub by Premier Inn already has 11 new hotels planned over the next three years, throughout London and Edinburgh, totalling over 2000 rooms.
You can download the 'hub by Premier Inn' app on the App Store or Google Play store.

"It is a delight to work with a company where every single person we dealt with was friendly, pleasant with a good sense of humour.
The trim trail is fantastic! It looks great and the children love it!
"Brilliant service from the first inquiry via an email to the follow-up phone call, site visit, the quotation emails, advise given and delivery and installation teams.
"The new play area looks great! Children on the park love it!
We have had many comments from parents on how nice it is.
"Creative Play offered us a fantastic adventure at a great price.
"As a school, we have commended the installation team who were absolutely fantastic.
"We are extremely happy with our new installation.
The can-do attitude of the initial surveyor was refreshing and the work was carried our quickly and efficiently.
The equipment is wonderful quality and looks robust – and very attractive too!
"A huge thank you to Creative Play for all your hard work!
"All the staff and children love our new climbing tower.
"We are very pleased with the pirate ship and the children absolutely love it!
The installation guys were amazing and interacted with our children at break and lunch times in a lovely manner.
"We have been very impressed with the staff from Creative Play.
Rob, who carried out the initial site visit & quotation was very knowledgeable.
The office staff kept us regularly updated regarding site attendance. The installation team have been courteous, adaptable (the install was during term time), helpful and polite.
"We are very satisfied with the friendly, welcoming nature of the Creative Play team.
"We are absolutely thrilled with the finished playground and the impact it has on the children's play times. Parents are proud of it too!
" The on-site operatives were extremely polite and helpful at all times.
"Can't fault Creative Play. Seamless and extremely efficient and organised.
"The process from our first call to the end of the installation went smoothly.
"Creative Play have exceeded our expectations in all aspects of the process.
The installation team just got on with things ans completed the job with no fuss. The site was kept safe and tidy throughout.
"Always fantastic customer service, prompt and helpful in trying to accommodate our needs.
"I was amazed how quickly the play equipment was erected and the fact that you sent two teams to build each piece of equipment simultaneously was splendid! There was no disruption to the daily running of the school and the site was left clean and tidy.
We have had many positive comments from staff and parents as to how attractive the two pieces look.
"Thanks to everyone at Creative Play!
"I was really impressed with how professional everything was in terms of organisation of materials on site, being kept informed on which people would be site and the Creative Play team as whole.
"We can't thank Creative Play enough! The journey started with Matthew, who listened to our thoughts and ideas, and then with the design team, who began to make our dream playgrounds come alive.
Carl and his team worked swiftly to make our designs a reality, which he did 'come rain or shine'. Nothing was too much trouble and when we had a few queries (miscommunication with the design stage) Carl helped us to sort things out and still finish within the time scale.
Our new play areas are fantastic, full of awe,wonder and intrigue. The children thoroughly enjoy their new learning environment.
"A great professional team at all all levels. Very impressed with Shane and his team and how quickly everything was completed.
"Creative Play has been fantastic from the beginning until the end and the contractors put the safety of our pupils first at all time.
The equipment not only looks wonderful but has been installed to a first class standard.
"Great choice of products and friendly, helpful staff. Our new and improved play area has been given a massive 'thumbs up' from our little guests!
"Very pleased we found Creative Play UK! Installing a play area for our Public House garden was a large outlay for a small business and you never know beforehand if you have chosen the correct company with regards to price and customer service.
We found Creative Play UK through Internet searches and after looking at many other companies, we decided to ask Creative Play UK to meet with us and provide a quotation.
Throughout the whole process, we found Creative Play UK to be helpful, professional, kept us in the loop at all times. The delivery went without a hitch, quick and we are delighted with the resulting play equipment, excellent quality, looks good and the children absolutely love it.
"I am pleased to say that Creative Play have installed another fantastic playground at our school. This is the second time we have used the company. Initially they installed a soft play area and trim trail in our early years area. This has enabled the children to develop their physical skills. We were so pleased with this playground that we asked them to quote for a much larger area. We now have a purpose built area for our key stage one pupils. The children are enjoying playing on the equipment so much they don't want to go home!
"We are delighted with our new play trail. Within a few hours we saw our children challenge themselves to use each piece. Even our two year olds were having a go. They were using the equipment for different types of play, building a tent under the A frame, using the log walk together pretending to have a race and the tyres on the tyre walk as a hiding place. They absolutely love it!
The staff have seen children who previously were reluctant to go outside and be active or had limited access to outdoor play as they live in flats, rush to get outside. The impact on one child's behaviour has been significant. His language skill level meant he was finding it difficult to express himself and this came out in his behaviour. Using the equipment has led to his self-confidence soaring and him feeling more confident to express himself with improvement in his behaviour. He has learnt to take turns and play with others.
"Your team is very friendly and approachable in offering help and advice, including a very valuable visual aid of the potential result.
You did a superb job of installing a safe, appealing set of play equipment. Work was carried out quickly with minimal disruption to traffic on this narrow country lane, and the results exactly matched the agreed plan. Your people are caring and professional and could not do enough for us.
The important thing though, it that we love it! It is now in constant use, bringing children away from the isolation of TV and computer games out in the fresh air and companionship. They are getting exercise without even realising it, and making friends with each other. We have a child wanting to hold his birthday picnic-party here.
The residents are so happy with the results that they themselves organised fund-raising activities to buy more play equipment from you. They are really proud of their new play area, which is clearly uniting our community.
We have a photo that proves the basket swing has bought out the inner child in some of our older folks, as we caught some pensioners – including one in her eighties – playing on it with evident delight.
You have transformed a neglected eyesore into a vibrant joyful area for the whole village.
"Very pleased with the whole installation, from planning to installation – excellent job all round. Thank you.
"The whole team that have been involved in our project have been super.
Mark has been so patient and between himself and the design team have come up with fantastic plans. These are far higher quality than any other companies that we got quote from – by a mile!
The construction team have worked hard and all has been completed before the agreed finish date.
Most important – what you designed is exactly what we have. It looks amazing. I can't wait for it to be signed off tomorrow so that the children can start using it.
"Further to the completion of our play area at Torbant Caravan Park in Pembrokeshire, we wish to offer some feedback on our experience with your company.
"I would just like to say how impressed we have been with all the staff we've come into contact with from Creative Play. Craig did a fantastic job helping us design the area and was more than happy to amend the plans on a number of occasions before we found the design we were finally happy with. The turn around from when we decided to proceed with the project and its completion was extremely quick at only two weeks. This has been very beneficial for the children who have been out playing on the equipment today. Mark responded to my concerns and reassured me that the 'finish' would be exactly what we wanted. Both teams who worked on site were courteous and polite and friendly.

Dublin setlist, new song clips !
November 17, 2000 | Comments Off on Dublin setlist, new song clips ! | by Zombieguide Archives | The Cranberries
An Ireland Corner has gotten ahold of a recording of the Dublin show from Saturday and has been gracious enough to post some clips of the two new songs!
Here is the setlist from the show, as well as the new MP3 clips.
1. Time is Ticking Out (MP3, 59 sec, 232k)
2. Linger
3. In the Ghetto (Elvis Cover)
4. Ode to My Family
5. Shattered
6. Animal Instinct
7. Loud and Clear
8. I Can't Be with You
9. Analyze (MP3, 31 sec, 124k)
Quality is not top-notch, as it appears to be taken from the webcast. However, no doubt a bootleg of the show will begin spreading quickly among traders. In the meantime, enjoy this first glimpse at the new album!

How Not to Do a Webcast
November 11, 2000 | Comments Off on How Not to Do a Webcast | by Zombieguide Archives | The Cranberries
I must give my sincere applause to E-Merge for showing us today how not to do a webcast. As nearly anyone who tried to access the site today found, those interested in watching the broadcast had to fall into three strict categories:
-A resident of Ireland
-Owner of a cell phone
-Agree to use E-Merge's services
As if the show wasn't hard enough to get into, you had to be one of the "privilaged" to view the live shots. Very few people at all fall into this, and so it is clear that Ericsson was using this to gain profit rather than for good publicity. Perhaps they will be posting clips up later, but it appears doubtful.

-"Analyze"

Chat Results
November 10, 2000 | Comments Off on Chat Results | by Zombieguide Archives | The Cranberries
The Cranberries participated in an online chat eariler today in Dublin, thier first interview in several months. Eager fans were told of more scraps of detail of both the forthcoming 5th album as well as the Dublin show tomorrow night. Those lucky enough to attend can not only look forward to older songs, but also:
-A cover of Elvis's "In the Ghetto"
-2 New Songs (!)
The band performed the cover only once before for BBC's Radio One early last year. Neither "False" nor any of the "Uncertain" tracks will be any of the older unreleased songs on the new album. The band would not reveal any of the titles of the new songs, but they did comment that the themes and styles are a mix of all the previous albums, and so far have no definite theme. The band claims that the upcoming DVD "Beneath the Skin" will have a function that will allow it to play on a normal CD player — I'll have to see that one before I take their word for it. And lastly, the album following the new one will be a Greatest Hits album. Perhaps they will revive the cancelled "Odd Bits and Hits" from 1998? For a full transcript of the chat, click here.

The Cranberries were featured on CNN's World Beat on Sunday, as the show had a special about the current pop scene in Ireland. Interview clips from "Love & Rock 'n' Roll" of Dolores, Mike, and Noel were featured focusing on how Ireland is different from the rest of the world when it comes to music. Clips of "Ode to My Family" were also played. Other featured artists were Sinead O'Connor, Westlife, Boyzone, and others, where other artists mentioned the Cranberries as one of their major Irish inspirations.

Official Page Ticket Contest

If you live close to Dublin, check out the official homepage's current contest for tickets to Saturday's gig. The contest requires a bit of creativity, as fans are asked to create a story, poem, etc. about the band. Winners will be notified on Friday, so you'd better have a clear schedule as there isn't much notice. If you don't get the tickets, you can also win some Ericsson products, or — even better (in my view) — a pre-release copy of "Beneath the Skin"!!
