Jamie Glazov's New Book: Jihadist Psychopath
How he is charming, seducing, and devouring us.
July 27, 2018 by Frontpage Editors Leave a Comment
[](http://jamieglazov.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/lkp.jpg)We are excited to announce that Frontpage Editor Jamie Glazov is delivering a new book: Jihadist Psychopath: How He Is Charming, Seducing, and Devouring Us.
Jihadist Psychopath offers an original and ground-breaking perspective on the terror war. Like no other work, it unveils the world of psychopathy and reveals, step by step, how Islamic Supremacists are duplicating the sinister methodology of psychopaths who routinely charm, seduce, capture, and devour their prey.
Jihadist Psychopath unveils how every element of the formula by which the psychopath subjugates his victim is used by the Islamic Supremacist to ensnare and subjugate non-Muslims. And in the same way that the victim of the psychopath is complicit in his own destruction, so too Western civilization is now embracing and enabling its own conquest and consumption.
President Trump's National Security Adviser John Bolton says about Jihadist Psychopath:
Hard as it is to believe, many in the West simply will not take the time and trouble to understand the threat posed by radical Islamicist terrorism. James Burnham once wrote of a similar problem with international Communism in his masterful Suicide of the West. Now, Jamie Glazov has written this century's counterpart to Burnham's classic work and will doubtless upset those determined not to analyze for themselves the nature of the underlying phenomenon.
With a Foreword written by Michael Ledeen, advance praise also comes from Dennis Prager, Geert Wilders, Robert Spencer, Steve Emerson and many other titans and scholars in the international arena. (See Amazon page for many of the blurbs).
Dennis Prager affirms that Jihadist Psychopath is "…one of the most important books of the present time."

"The decision to purchase the company GEFCO was not spontaneous, but made in line with the Company's strategy to increase the share of transport logistics in the activities of the Russian Railways' holding company. We have acquired a company which is among the ten largest logistics companies in the world and which has international experience and staff of 11,500, a number which speaks for itself," said Vladimir Yakunin, president of Russian Railways and Chairman of GEFCO's Supervisory Board, who was speaking at a press conference in St. Petersburg on 28 January 2015.
According to Yakunin, historically GEFCO has been involved in transport logistics with a focus on shipping cars, but now it is developing projects such as transport and logistic support to ship aluminium from Hungary to China.
"We are satisfied with GEFCO as a whole. I believe that we have correctly assessed market trends. The acquisition of this French company has allowed us to gain experience in the field of international cooperation", said Vladimir Yakunin.
It is extremely important to Russian Railways that the integration of GEFCO's operations into the Holding has not only improved the quality of services to third-party customers, but also created specific transport and logistics products for internal use. For example, spare parts logistics is a major logistics business. If previously it was the manufacturers of spare parts which handled deliveries, now with the help of GEFCO, Russian Railways will be able to build the supply chain and thus reduce the real cost of acquiring components.

Holding Hope: Donate to The Big Share to support Chrysalis
February 23, 2022 /in Chrysalis News /by Dani Rischall
By Chris Kittoe, Employment Specialist at Chrysalis
I couldn't be more proud or grateful to be part of the Chrysalis community as an Employment Specialist. As a newer member of the Chrysalis team, I can't overstate how incredible it feels to have joined such a unique and diverse team that is so adherent to guiding principles and committed to a collective push toward societal change and improvement. I am consistently inspired by the team and the community and feel a great sense of hope knowing that Chrysalis exists as it does.
Hope is a central component of all Chrysalis programs and to Chrysalis' perspective in the community. We know that hope is essential in life – in work, in recovery, in relationships, in growth, in dealing with setbacks, in pursuing dreams and achieving goals, in making change, in reflecting and in considering the future – in all aspects of life. We at Chrysalis talk a lot about holding hope for those we support and those in our lives and community in general when hope proves difficult for them to find, feel, or maintain. Chrysalis does a number of types of extremely impactful work with individuals and the community. Holding hope stands alongside each of these as an immeasurably valuable action Chrysalis takes on behalf of those we support and and in support of our mission and values in the larger community. Holding hope is like keeping a candle lit in a dark and drafty space. The light is essential to seeing and navigating a path that leads out of the darkness and many factors could easily lead to its extinguishment. The more factors there are to struggle against, the less one is able to put into keeping the candle lit and sometimes it is blown out and finding a way out through the darkness without it becomes the (much more daunting) task at hand. It is during these times in life – when these factors feel stronger than ones grip on the light and ability to protect and nourish it – that having someone else to hold and care for that flame can make all the difference. By holding hope when others may not feel or recognize it, we keep that candlelight alive and well, on the ready to shed its light and warmth when people are ready to take it back. We do not cultivate or provide hope – we hold it. We seek it and hold it and offer it and share it and celebrate it and keep it alive and well.
By supporting Chrysalis in this fundraising effort, you are holding hope. You are supplementing and strengthening our hopefulness and sharing light and warmth by allowing us to continue to provide services and offer programming which is not supported by government funding. You are signaling that you are hopeful about the outcomes people and the community can achieve and about the role Chrysalis might play in those successes. You are showing support and holding hope for the simple, human idea that everyone is worth it – that everyone deserves opportunity, choice, support, and – you guessed it – HOPE!
Thank you so much for holding and sharing hope by making a donation. Your dollars will go directly to supplementing our efforts to support people in navigating their lives with purpose and hope!

VMware Closes Out a Strong Financial 2016
Revenues exceed $7 billion for the year.
VMware finished out a strong 2016 fiscal year by beating analyst's expectations for fourth-quarter revenue. The showing was especially meaningful as it marked the first full earnings report under the leadership of Dell Technologies, VMware's new owner.
Earnings for Q4 came in at $441 million, on total revenue of $2.03 billion. That was an increase of 9 percent from the same quarter of 2015 ($373 million), VMware stated in a press release. Analysts had predicted $1.99 billion in revenue.
The revenue also represented strong growth from the previous quarter, which was $1.78 billion.
The revenues mirrored a solid 2016 overall for VMware, with total revenue of $7.09 billion, up 8 percent from 2015 on a GAAP basis and 7 percent on a non-GAAP basis.
VMware CEO Pat Gelsinger was understandably enthused at the results. "Q4 closed out a strong fiscal 2016 and was one of the most balanced quarters for VMware in years," he said in the press release. "We're very pleased with our strong product momentum and customer enthusiasm for our Cloud strategy."
The deal in which Dell acquired VMware parent company EMC Inc. closed last September. There was much speculation in the industry as to how the deal would affect VMware, which enjoyed great autonomy under EMC's ownership. In fact, the earnings call from almost exactly one year ago was markedly different than yesterday's. During that call, VMware announced it was laying off 800 employees, and it marked the exit of VMware CFO Jonathan Chadwick, one of a series of high-level executive departures.
The lack of drama in the latest earnings report, along with the financial numbers in the report, will undoubtedly be taken as a positive sign that the Dell acquisition is going smoothly for VMware.

Q: Namespacing issue in Javascript I'm trying to convert a regular function into function with namespacing. This is the regular function:
surprise();

function surprise() {
    alert('TEST');
}

and this is the same function with namespacing:
var namespace = {};

namespace.surprise();

namespace.surprise = function () {
    alert('TEST');
};

I get the following error: Uncaught TypeError: namespace.surprise is not a function

A: If you call before a function is defined, you will get a TypeError. You must defined the function first. Before you define it, the namespace does not have a surprise function, and once you call it, JavaScript doesn't know what you're talking about.
The reason why normal functions do not need to be defined first is because:

The function statement is magic and causes its identifier to be bound before anything in its code-block* is executed.

That's from here. function statements must be defined with the function keyword and not stored in a variable like this:
var myFunc = function () {
    ...
}

To be treated in the described way above. Since namespaces store the function into a variable, they lose the capability of being used before it's defined.

        tfBMI.setText(String.valueOf(df.format(BMI)));

       }
       catch(InputMismatchException  e1) {
           JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(this,"You must enter a number. Please try again.");
       }
      catch(Exception e2) {
           JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(this,"Please Enter your Height and Weight");
       }
    }
}

A: Double.parseDouble throws a NumberFormatException, not an InputMismatchException. Change your catch clause accordingly and you should be OK.

Tributes in Living Memory to Gen. Gabriel Achuoth Deng: Celebrating the Inspirational Life and Times of a South Sudanese Iconic Freedom Fighter and Veteran Politician, Gen. Achuoth Deng Achuoth (Kärkäwään)
By PaanLuel Wël, Juba, South Sudan
Eulogy of Gen. Gabriel Achuoth Deng: Celebrating the Life and Times of Gen. Achuoth Deng Achuoth (Kärkäwään)
Monday, July 7, 2019 (PW) — On the 16th of May, 1983, when the war of liberation struggle broke out in Bor, Jonglei State, the leadership of the Underground Movement dispatched Gen. Gabriel Achuoth Deng Achuoth (Deng-Kärkäwään) to Khartoum to warn and enlighten their members in the north that the new armed revolutionary movement, occasioned by the mutiny in Bor, was not going to be the usual South Sudanese reactionary movement fixated on the 'Southern Problem' at the expenses of the rights, justice and freedom for the marginalized people of the Sudan. In his book, Wars and a New Vision for the Sudan: A Political Lesson, which was published in 2005, Gen. Achuoth Deng-Kärkäwään explained thus: "When John Garang withdrew from Bor for Ethiopia, it was the same time that I left for Khartoum. This was to come and explain to the forces of the revolution in that part of the country the objective of the new movement. That the new movement should not be mistaken as the usual Southern reactionary movement for the separation of the South."[1]
The Underground Movement was established by progressive officers of the Anyanya One movement as a result of the fallout from the aborted coup d'état in Lobone against the leadership of Gen. Joseph Lagu in 1972 following the signing of the Addis Ababa Agreement. These progressive officers, on whose behalf Captain John Garang wrote his historical 1972 letter to Gen. Joseph Lagu, were bitterly opposed to the signing of the Addis Ababa Accord, in preference for the continuation of war for the total liberation and separation of South Sudan. After the failure of their coup against their boss, Gen. Joseph Lagu, and their subsequent absorption into the Sudanese army as per the stipulations of the 1972 peace accord, the progressive officers formed a clandestine organization, the Underground Movement, within the rank and file of the national army. Their first leader was Gen. Emmanuel Abuur Nhial (Abuur-Matuong) and then Gen. Albino Akol Akol after the killing of Gen. Emmanuel Abuur Nhial in 1976 and later by Col. John Garang after his return from the USA in 1982.

Lt. Gen. Chagai Atem Biar, one of the founders of the SPLM/SPLA
Thursday, June 20, 2019 (PW) —- Well Done Lt-Gen Chagai Atem Biar! No one could love South Sudan more than you. Patriotism is all about loving one's own country and its people above anything else, and you certainly did that. Rather than gold medals, your reward is our country of South Sudan. You are a hero because you dedicated your life to something greater than yourself. With much gratitude to the President of South Sudan, Salva Kiir Mayardit, Lt Gen Chagai Atem still survives because of the President's huge support in terms of money to pay for Chagai's medication and medical expenses. Mr. President Mayardit you have shown real friendship to Lt Gen Chagai Atem and his family. May God Almighty reward you for the work you have done!

Lt-Gen Chagai Atem Biar is the one of the founders of the Sudan People Liberation Moment and the Sudan Liberation Army (SPLM/A) and eventually became facilitator, mediator, peace negotiator among his colleagues for the SPLM/A party to survive up-to-date. During the Civil war between SPLM/A and Sudan government there were many issues among senior commanders and Mr. Chagai Atem was nominated as the chief negotiator between the deputy chairperson Salva Kiir Mayardit and the chairperson of SPLM/A, Dr. Garang de Mabior Atem in 1994 and he settled that matter peacefully between the two senior leaders. Both men trusted Chagai Atem and that is why he was chosen to handle these factional issues over anyone else. Following the conflict of 2004 between Comrade Salva Kiir Mayardit and Dr. Garang de Mabior, Mr. Chagai Atem was also involved together with Dr. Riek Machar, who was a head of mediation.

He was the third child of the family and was raised along with his four brothers surrounded by many cousins. Chagai Atem Biar was an energetic, well-organized, carer and problem solver who grew up with respect for his relatives and the community at large. His parents had strict traditional beliefs regarding Atem-Yaath (traditional god) but when he moved to Malakal he was baptized as a Christian. As his parents were farmers, he would wake up very early in the mornings to clean up the cattle dung and then graze the cattle during the day. From a young age, he gained the respect of many community elders who often described him as "smart" and "energetic".

The body of the late Maj. Gen. Atem Aguang Atem being received at Juba airport by the national army; he passed away in kampala on 27 May 2019 after a short illness
Friday, May 31, 2019 (PW) — It is the saddest and huge blow to our beloved country South Sudan, our national army, South Sudan People's Defense Forces (SSPDF), Jonglei State and the Greater Bor Dinka community to lose an icon of liberty, a powerful pillar of freedom, a revolutionist, a bold protector for the marginalized people from the hands of successive oppressive regimes in Khartoum, Maj. Gen. Atem Aguang Atem Deng who fall on Monday, 27/05/2019 in Kampala.
Gen. Atem was a significant commander and a fierce fighter who was cherished by his troops and comrades in arm. The unfortunate demised of Gen. Atem at this critical juncture where our country is at a cross-road in need of peaceful settlement of conflict leading to national stability is a tragedy. Our borders are still being encroached in by neighboring countries, the socio-political and economical institutions still need strengthening and presence of skilled human resources personnel like Gen. Atem.
Maj. Gen. Atem Aguang Atem
The greatest part of his contribution is that he wholeheartedly achieved the missions entrusted upon him. Gen. Atem won many battles against the enemy and most importantly during deadly battles of Pagei, Ashwa Bridge, Parajok, Raja, Kurmuk and Maban.

Meet Ms. Aluel Manyok Barach: A Proud South Sudanese Feminist and Social Activist
Wednesday, January 09, 2019 (PW) — Meet Ms. Aluel Manyok Barach, a fierce feminist whose work for gender equality, women empowerment and peaceful coexistence between men and women, tribes and political parties shine bright like snow. I first came across Ms. Aluel Manyok, popularly known as Aluel Naomi, via her social media updates in regards to gender equality and peace process in the newest nation of South Sudan.
Clicking on her profile page one afternoon, I stumbled upon some of her personal information that was intriguing enough to share. Ms. Aluel Manyok describes herself as fierce South Sudanese social activist and feminist who is strongly passionate about gender equality and peaceful co-existence. As a true champion of her own persona and an agent of change to many, Ms. Aluel Manyok graduated from Makerere University with Bachelor of Economic Development (Hons) and have participated in number of international programs of which she is current generation Change Fellow as well as YALI program Alumni.
Feminism is one of the major disciplines in academia that advocates for the rights and freedom of women in education, employment, equal opportunities, political representation and involvement of women in decision-making as well as social related actions that aim at bettering women's lives to the standard similar to that of men. Having received much opposition from the male-dominated society due to misconceptions and changes brought upon by globalization and ancient culture transition, feminism has multiplied into different factions striving to tackle different types of social, political and economic inequalities and social injustice facing women across the globe.

South Sudanese veteran politician, Uncle Clement Mboro
Friday, August 10, 2018 (PW) — The veteran politician Clement Mboro, fondly referred to as "Uncle Clement" inspired many Southern Sudanese during the many years of armed struggle from the 1940s till his passing. Uncle Clement was born on January 3rd 1920 in a small village twenty miles west of Wau to Chief Mboro Bekobo of the N'dogo. He completed his early years of education at Bussure and received a diploma in public administration from Gordon Memorial College in Khartoum, Sudan.
For a number of years, Uncle Clement worked in public service before becoming a political activist. During the Juba Conference of 1947, Uncle Clement gained prominence for being among the only three educated Southerners to participate in the conference. However, he was blamed with other Southern leaders who participated in the conference for not articulating separation of the South from North Sudan. It is important to note that prior to the Juba Conference of 1947, the British had already decided to keep the South united with North Sudan regardless of the call for separation by Southern Sudanese.
Following the Torit Mutiny in 1955, when Southerners soldiers refused to be transported to North Sudan and revolted against their Northern commanding officers which then led to large scale conflict and saw many Southern civilians, soldiers and politicians face persecution and even death. Among those detained and tortured was Uncle Clement who was then the Assistant District Commissioner in Yirol. (more…)
Who is Gen. "King Paul" Malong Awan Anei?
Posted: April 16, 2018 by PaanLuel Wël Media Ltd. in Junub Sudan, People

My Father was born around the year 1938 in Aturok, Yirol, Southern Sudan into an Atuot Dinka family. His father was Beny Acuar and his mother was Kulang Mou Kacuol. He had five brothers—Madol (deceased), Macar, Kon (deceased), Ahou (deceased), and Cieng—and one sister—Acuoth. My Father left home at an early age to attend school at a time when the schools in southern Sudan were run by British colonialists. In what I believe was a compromise, my Grandfather, Beny Acuar, had selected my father from among his siblings to attend school. At the time, Dinka families generally preferred boys and young men to be reared for a life of cattle-herding. Boys spent many days of the year in the cattle camps and it was an honorable thing to do. Curious, I often asked my Father why Beny Acuar chose him and not another sibling. I believe that his Father recognized his brilliance and wisdom from an early age and thus sent him to school.

Picture of Mark Majak Abiem and Professor Water Rodney at the School of African and Oriental Studies (SOAS), London, 1976. Both were later murdered in cold blood in their respective home countries in 1977 and 1980 respectively.
January 21, 2018 (SSB) — Late Mark Majak Abiem was an extraordinary and pleasant human being, an outstanding student and a very promising scholar. He was my roommate at the Barracks (University of Khartoum's hostels on the Blue Nile) from 1971-2.
When he passed his neatly organized notebook of lectures on Archaeology he took while a prelim student to me, there was no surprise that I was able to score the top marks in that subject. Although only two of my colleagues knew about the "inheritance" I openly gave credit to Mark.
After the History Dept., Faculty of Arts took Mark Majak as a teaching assistant the dream that the history of the future South Sudan was then going to be written by its own sons and daughters as well as other scholars who love the people and their land was almost becoming a reality.

The Episcopal Church elects Bishop Justin Badi Arama of the Diocese of Maridi to replace Archbishop Dr. Daniel Deng Bul as Primate and Archbishop of South Sudan
January 20, 2018 (SSB) — The Episcopal Church of South Sudan has elected Rt. Rev. Justin Badi Arama, the bishop of Maridi Diocese, as Primate and Archbishop of South Sudan. Initially, there were four candidates vying to succeed Archbishop Dr. Daniel Deng Bul as the Primate and Archbishop of South Sudan: Bishop Francis Loyo of Rokon Diocese and the Dean of the Province of the Episcopal Church of South Sudan; Bishop Monday Bismark Avokaya of Mundri Diocese; Bishop Justin Badi Arama of Maridi Diocese, and Bishop Abraham Yel Nhial of Aweil Diocese.
However, on the eve of the voting day at the All Saints Cathedral in Juba, Bishop Francis Loyo and Bishop Monday Bismark Avokaya dropped out on their own volitions. Thus, it became a hotly contested, two horse race, between Bishop Justin Badi Arama of Maridi Diocese and Bishop Abraham Yel Nhial of Aweil Diocese. There were 159 eligible Electoral College voters. When voting was conducted, counting done and results announced, the two candidates were separated by a mere single vote. Bishop Justin Badi Arama of Maridi Diocese won with 80 votes, while Bishop Abraham Yel Nhial of Aweil Diocese got 79 votes.

Justice Abel Alier Kwai Kut, First President of the High Executive Council, an Autonomous Juba-based government
January 20, 2018 (SSB) — Gabriel G. Marquez, in his work, Love in the Time of Cholera, vividly elucidated the essence of one's birth in one's lifetime, "He allowed himself to be swayed by his conviction that human beings are not born once and for all on the day their mothers give birth to them, but that life obliges them over and over again to give birth to themselves." Abel Alier's birth sealed this saying as he is pleasantly described by his personal conviction.
Justice Abel Alier hails from Kut Ajak's family of Angakuei clan, Baidit Payam, Dinka Bor of the Dinka. He was born in 1933 in Magaar village, Angakuei clan, Bor District of Upper Nile Region in the Anglo-Egyptian Sudan. He was named as Alier-Wal Kuai Kut in line with his totemic Dinka name, which reflects a sense of responsibility and personal uniqueness.
He has always been adulated as a lucky son of Africa, who was born with greatness thrust upon him just like other African sons, who were born in 1930s such as Prof. Chinua Achebe of Nigeria (1930), Prof. Ngugi wa Thiong'o of Kenya (1938), Prof. Wole Soyinka of Nigeria (1934), Prof. Ali Mazrui of Kenya (1933), Dr. Okot p'Bitek of Uganda (1931), Prof. Taban Lo Liyong of South Sudan (1930), David Rubadiri of Malawi (1930) and so many other great leaders and academics who were born in 1930s.
In my own words, this period of 1930s is reasonably the time of the birth of great giants of Africa.

Today I found out the origin of the Loch Ness Monster myth.
Loch Ness is a long, narrow lake southwest of Inverness in the Scottish Highlands. It is the second largest loch in Scotland by surface area and the largest by volume. It is also the second deepest loch, at an astounding 755 feet (230 meters) at its deepest point. The water is dark and murky due to the high levels of peat in the surrounding soil. The breadth, depth, and low visibility of this particular loch make a prime environment for someone's imagination to run wild, particularly when other lake monsters were plentiful in Scottish legends.
The first recorded sighting of Nessie was in 565 A.D. by Saint Columba. Saint Columba was an Irish missionary praised for spreading Christianity in Scotland. On one trip to the highlands, he ran across a group of people burying a man who had been bitten by the monster in the River Ness. The Saint supposedly asked another man present to swim across the river. When the man jumped in, the monster rose from the depths and Saint Columba, invoking God's power, banished it. The story was written nearly a century after the supposed encounter; but even so, it remains a popular piece of "evidence" used to demonstrate Nessie's existence.
The next recorded sighting happened over 1300 years later in 1933. George Spicer was out driving with his wife when they saw a large creature walk in front of their car near the loch. The creature supposedly had a huge body, long neck, and they couldn't see any limbs before it lunged toward the Loch Ness. A few weeks later, a motorcyclist claimed to have nearly run into a similar creature, describing it as a type of plesiosaur—a prehistoric marine creature with four large fins and a long neck, fitting the Spicers' description. Soon, with the building of a road along the loch's coast, many more reports of sightings of the monster flooded in.
The 1933 sightings proved to be the beginning of a long, fruitless search for the monster. The first picture taken of the monster was in November 1933 by Hugh Gray. He supposedly saw a large creature rise above the surface of the water and snapped several photographs before it disappeared, but only one photo turned out when developed. The picture shows a creature with a long neck and a thick body, with four lumps at its side which might have been flippers. However, it should be noted that critics claim that the photo is of a dog swimming with a stick in its mouth… not remotely frightening.
Muckie is the name given to the reported mysterious creature said to inhabit the Lakes of Killarney in Ireland. Unlike other stories of lake creatures, Muckie has no folklore origin, and has only recently entered local legend.

Mitt Romney recently emerged from wherever he is to criticize the first 100 days of President Obama's second term for "[lacking] of any clear agenda." He also assured the public that his 500-person transition team had prepared a truly game-changing agenda for the start of President Romney's time in the White House, though they obviously never got to use it. For those wondering what that plan looked like: The Romney Readiness Project (also known as R2P, like a robot) has released a 138-page report describing the changes the Republican candidate would have made upon taking office. Time's Zeke Miller read through the entire thing, which relies heavily on the business world language and structure Romney loves.
In addition to "restructuring White House operation's to suit Romney's corporate management style, with clear deliverables," Miller says R2P recommended "corporate-style training seminars" intended to teach appointees and nominees "management skills" before the inauguration, the extensive use of flow charts to "achieve unity," and the installation of a deputy chief of staff for Cabinet oversight to "systematically [assess] the efforts of their [Cabinet secretaries'] departments in contributing to [Romney's] priorities and objectives." And, of course, the agenda included plans to repeal Obamacare, reform the tax code, and loosen federal regulations, as the Republican candidate vowed to do during his campaign. Unfortunately for Romney & Co., voters decided to put a pin in all that indefinitely.

Books in her blood ›
Books in her blood
By Phil Reynolds
Jackie Cundieff may have taken over as director of Llano County libraries, but that doesn't mean there's an upheaval in the system's future. For one thing, Cundieff thinks the system is "awesome" the way it is.
She was named director of the three-library system (Llano, Kingsland and the Lakeshore Branch at Buchanan Dam) by county commissioners, effective with the retirement of longtime director Dian Ray on Sept. 30.
She's no stranger to Llano; she's lived there for 27 years, her husband, Rick, is pastor at First Baptist Church of Llano, and they've raised two children, a boy and a girl, both grown.
However, Cundieff said she grew up in Burleson, south of Fort Worth where her mother was school and church librarian.
It's kind of in her blood.
And after years in the education system, Cundieff went back to school herself and got a Master of Library Science degree from the University of North Texas.
While Cundieff thinks the system is doing a great job with adults and children now, she wouldn't mind working more with kids. And she thinks the libraries could get a bit more into digital books, though she doesn't want to go all-digital.
"There are a lot of people out there who still like to have a book in their hand," she explained. "There are conveniences to digital, but a lot of people still like (physical) books."
The most popular books are also the most likely to be duplicated, with copies available both digitally and in print, she said.
And while technology hasn't penetrated Llano County as much as larger metro areas, "I've seen older people becoming more savvy and I've seen older people come in and asy, 'I need help with this'," she said.
Librarians encourage people to come in seeking help. One staff member has a computer background and will offer training when enough people want it.
One change that will come soon to the Llano branch of the system is a new, expanded children's section that aims to familiarize parents with the need and means to teach early childhood literacy. Two staff members will attend a week-long course in November to learn how to run that program.
Librarians are happy to help those older people, but they also want to ensure the next generation is familiar with books.

\section{Introduction}

In the theoretical description of heavy quarkonium production, there is an interplay between perturbative and nonperturbative physics. A rigorous framework, which aims to describe this interplay, is the conjectured factorization theorem of NRQCD~\cite{Bodwin:1994jh}. Here, quarkonium production happens as a two-step process. First, heavy quark-antiquark pairs in certain Fock states $n$, which may be color singlet or color octet (CO), are created at energy scales where perturbative calculations are feasible. In a second step these intermediate states then evolve into the final heavy quarkonia, mainly via soft gluon radiation. This evolution is described by long-distance matrix elements (LDMEs) $\langle {\cal O}^H(n) \rangle$, nonperturbative vacuum expectation values of certain four-fermion operators, specific to quarkonium $H$ and Fock state $n$. The LDMEs obey a certain scaling with the heavy quark relative velocity $v$. For charmonia, $v^2\approx 0.3$ serves as a reasonably small expansion parameter. In this work, we investigate the inclusive production of $\psi(2S)$ mesons. In contrast to for example $J/\psi$ production, here the fraction of radiative decays from higher charmonium states is negligible, allowing for a cleaner comparison to experimental data, which is mostly prompt, i.e. including these radiative decay contributions. The leading $v$ contribution for $\psi(2S)$ production is from the $n={^3S}_1^{[1]}$ color singlet state and the next-to-leading $v$ contribution from the $n={^1}S_0^{[8]}$, ${^3}S_1^{[8]}$ and ${^3}P_J^{[8]}$ CO states. The corresponding CO LDMEs have to be determined from fits to data, and the goodness of these fits serves as a phenomenological test of the NRQCD factorization formalism.

Fits of the $\psi(2S)$ CO LDMEs have at next-to-leading order (NLO) in $\alpha_s$ been done before. The fit of Ref.~\cite{Ma:2010yw}, which was also used in~\cite{Shao:2014yta}, considered only CDF data~\cite{Aaltonen:2009dm} from Tevatron run~II with $\psi(2S)$ transverse momentum $p_T>5$~GeV (7~GeV, 11~GeV), resulting in 19 (15, 8) data points. The fit of Ref.~\cite{Gong:2012ug} used the CDF data~\cite{Aaltonen:2009dm} plus the LHCb 2012 data~\cite{Aaij:2012ag}, with $p_T>7$~GeV, amounting to 20 data points. In this work, we extend these previous analyses to many more data sets, a larger $p_T$ range and also polarized $\psi(2S)$ production, comprising a total of 1001 data points. We note that also the more recent $\psi(2S)$ LDME fits of Ref.~\cite{Bodwin:2015iua}, which includes resummed fragmentation function contributions in the calculation of the short distance coefficients,
and of Ref.~\cite{Brambilla:2022rjd},
which assumes a relation between CO LDMEs derived using pNRQCD~\cite{Brambilla:1999xf}, are still limited to at most 87 data points.

\section{The methods}

With $a$ and $b$ two colliding hadrons, the observables we consider are the yield $d\sigma(ab\to \psi(2S)+X)/dp_T$, as well as the coefficients $\lambda_\theta$, $\lambda_\phi$ and $\lambda_{\theta\phi}$ of the $\mu^+$ momentum angular distribution
\begin{align}
\frac{d\Gamma}{d\cos\theta d\phi}\propto1+\lambda_\theta\cos^2\theta +\lambda_\phi\sin^2\theta\cos(2\phi)
 +\lambda_{\theta\phi}\sin(2\theta)\cos\phi
\end{align}
in the decay $\psi(2S)\to \mu^+ \mu^-$ succeeding the $\psi(2S)$ production. Here, $\theta$ is the polar and $\phi$ the azimuthal angle in either the helicity (HX), the Collins-Soper (CS), or the perpendicular helicity (PX) reference frame. In these $\psi(2S)$ rest frames, the decay muons lie within the $xz$ plane, and the $z$-axis is defined to point in the direction of $-({\mathbf p}_a+{\mathbf p}_b)$ in case of the HX frame, ${\mathbf p}_a/||{\mathbf p}_a|| - {\mathbf p}_b/||{\mathbf p}_b||$ in the CS frame, and ${\mathbf p}_a/||{\mathbf p}_a|| + {\mathbf p}_b/||{\mathbf p}_b||$ in the case of the PX frame, with ${\mathbf p}_a$ and ${\mathbf p}_b$ the three-momenta of hadrons $a$ and $b$. The observables $\lambda_\theta$, $\lambda_\phi$ and $\lambda_{\theta\phi}$ are related to the spin density matrix elements $d\sigma_{ij}$ via
\begin{gather}
\lambda_\theta=\frac{d\sigma_{11}-d\sigma_{00}}{d\sigma_{11}+d\sigma_{00}},\qquad
\lambda_\phi=\frac{d\sigma_{1,-1}}{d\sigma_{11}+d\sigma_{00}},\qquad
\lambda_{\theta\phi}=\frac{\sqrt{2}\mathrm{Re} d\sigma_{10}}{d\sigma_{11}+d\sigma_{00}}.
\end{gather}
The spin-density matrix elements $d\sigma_{ij}$ are the corresponding $\psi(2S)$ production cross sections where the $\psi(2S)$ polarization vectors are $\epsilon_i$ in the amplitude and $\epsilon_j$ in the complex conjugated amplitude, in the respective reference frame. $\lambda_\theta$, $\lambda_\phi$ and $\lambda_{\theta\phi}$ thus encode the polarization information of the production process.

The theory predictions for the cross sections and spin-density matrix elements are within NRQCD factorization given by
\begin{align}
 d\sigma(ab\to \psi(2S)+X)
 &= \sum_n d\tilde\sigma(ab\to c\overline{c}[n]+X) \langle {\cal O}^{\psi(2S)}(n) \rangle, \\
 d\sigma_{ij}(ab\to \psi(2S)+X)
 &= \sum_n d\tilde\sigma_{ij}(ab\to c\overline{c}[n]+X) \langle {\cal O}^{\psi(2S)}(n) \rangle,
\end{align}
where $d\tilde\sigma_{(ij)}(ab\to c\overline{c}[n]+X)$ are the perturbative short-distance cross sections for production of a charm-anticharm system in Fock state $n$, in our analysis running over ${^3}S_1^{[1]}$, ${^1}S_0^{[8]}$, ${^3}S_1^{[8]}$ and ${^3}P_J^{[8]}$. We calculate $d\tilde\sigma_{(ij)}(ab\to c\overline{c}[n]+X)$ to NLO in $\alpha_s$ using the techniques described in~\cite{Butenschoen:2010rq,Butenschoen:2012px,Butenschoen:2019lef,Butenschoen:2020mzi}. For the color singlet LDME, we use the standard choice $\langle {\cal O}^{\psi(2S)}({^3}S_1^{[1]}) \rangle=0.76$~GeV$^{-3}$, which was derived in~\cite{Eichten:1995ch} making use of the Buchm\"uller-Tye potential model~\cite{Buchmuller:1980su}. Noticing that $\langle {\cal O}^{\psi(2S)}({^3}P_J^{[8]}) \rangle=(2J+1)\langle {\cal O}^{\psi(2S)}({^3}P_0^{[8]}) \rangle$, this leaves three dimensionless fit parameters
\begin{align}
O_1 &= \langle {\cal O}^{\psi(2S)}({^1S}_0^{[8]})\rangle/\mathrm{GeV}^3 \\
O_2 &= \langle {\cal O}^{\psi(2S)}({^3S}_1^{[8]})\rangle/\mathrm{GeV}^3 \\
O_3 &= \langle {\cal O}^{\psi(2S)}({^3P}_0^{[8]})\rangle/\mathrm{GeV}^5,
\end{align}
which we determine by minimizing
\begin{align}
 \chi^2=&\sum_i \left(\frac{(d\sigma/dp_T)_i^\mathrm{data}-(d\sigma/dp_T)_i}{\Delta(d\sigma/dp_T)_i^\mathrm{data}}\right)^2 \nonumber \\
 &+ \sum_i \left(\frac{\lambda_{\theta,i}^\mathrm{data}-\lambda_\theta}{\Delta \lambda_{\theta,i}^\mathrm{data}}\right)^2 + \sum_i \left(\frac{\lambda_{\phi,i}^\mathrm{data}-\lambda_\phi}{\Delta \lambda_{\phi,i}^\mathrm{data}}\right)^2 + \sum_i \left(\frac{\lambda_{\theta\phi,i}^\mathrm{data}-\lambda_{\theta\phi}}{\Delta \lambda_{\theta\phi,i}^\mathrm{data}}\right)^2,
\end{align}
where in each sum, $i$ runs over all experimental data points considered for the respective observable. Where we include only data points for $d\sigma/dp_T$, the fit has an analytic solution, since the numerators depend linearly on $O_1$, $O_2$ and $O_3$. Where we include data for $\lambda_\theta$, $\lambda_\phi$ and $\lambda_{\theta\phi}$ as well, we have to resort to numerical methods.

Assuming the Gauss distribution relation
\begin{equation}
P(O_1,O_2,O_3) \propto e^{-\frac{1}{2}\chi^2(O_1,O_2,O_3)}
\end{equation}
between $\chi^2$ and the probability density of the $O_i$, the inverse of the covariance matrix, defined as
\begin{equation}
 C_{ij}=\langle (O_i-\langle O_i \rangle) (O_j-\langle O_j \rangle) \rangle,
\end{equation}
evaluates to
\begin{equation}
 (C^{-1})_{ij} = \frac{1}{2} \frac{\partial^2 \chi^2(O_1,O_2,O_3)}{\partial O_i \partial O_j}.
\end{equation}
We see that the fit uncertainties of $O_i$ are given by $\Delta O_i = \sqrt{C_{ii}}$, and that, with the three eigenvectors $\mathbf{v_1}$, $\mathbf{v_2}$ and $\mathbf{v_3}$ of the symmetric matrix $C$, the values $V_i=\mathbf{v_i}\cdot(O_1,O_2,O_3)$ form three uncorrelated linear combinations of $O_1$, $O_2$ and $O_3$, whose uncertainties are given by the square roots of the corresponding eigenvalues.

\caption{\label{tab:TheData}Overview of the data considered in our fits. The observables considered are $d\sigma/dp_T$ for sets 1 to 16 and $\lambda_\theta$, $\lambda_\phi$ and/or $\lambda_{\theta\phi}$ in sets P1 to P4. The decay channel by which $\psi(2S)$ is detected is $\psi(2S)\to \mu^+\mu^-$ everywhere unless indicated otherwise. Note that the published data sets 7, 11, 12 and 13 each contain one further $p_T$ bin, namely $0<p_T<1$~GeV, which we ignore due to the fact that our current codes do not treat the infrared singularity at $p_T\to 0$. Furthermore, in data sets 3, 11, 12 and 13, $B$ meson decay contributions have not been separated from the prompt $\psi(2S)$ production. For each bin of these data sets, we therefore multiply the cross sections by a fraction of prompt production which we obtain from the data of those bins in sets 2, 7 and 15b which are kinematically closest.}
\end{sidewaystable}

For the evaluation of the short distance cross sections, we renormalize the charm quark mass in the on-shell scheme with $m_c=1.5$~GeV and set the $\psi(2S)$ mass $M_{\psi(2S)}=2m_c$. We use $\mu_r=\mu_f=\sqrt{p_T^2+4m_c^2}$ for the renormalization and factorization scales, and $\mu_\Lambda=m_c$ for the NRQCD scale. We use CT14nlo\_NF3~\cite{Dulat:2015mca} as implemented in LHAPDF~\cite{Buckley:2014ana} for the proton PDFs, along with the corresponding $\alpha_s$ running implemented therein. Furthermore, we use the branching fraction values $\mathrm{Br}(\psi(2S) \to\mu^+ \mu^-)=0.0080$, $\mathrm{Br}(\psi(2S)\to J/\psi \pi^+ \pi^-)=0.347$ and $\mathrm{Br}(J/\psi\to \mu^+ \mu^-)=0.0596$ from~\cite{Zyla:2020zbs}.

For our fits, we take into account all inclusive $\psi(2S)$ production data we are aware of, ignoring heavy-ion collision data, due to the uncertainty or even absence of the necessary nuclear parton distribution functions (PDFs), total cross section data, and those data where only $\psi(2S)$ to $J/\psi$ production cross section ratios were measured, like the ZEUS photoproduction data~\cite{Chekanov:2002at}. This leaves us with the proton-proton and proton-antiproton collision data listed in Table~\ref{tab:TheData}.

To investigate how the fit changes if we exclude polarized and/or low- and middle-$p_T$ production, we perform four separate fits to different subsets of the considered data. Fit A is considering all 1001 data points, fit B is limited to the 737 data points of unpolarized $d\sigma/dp_T$ data, fit C is limited to the 816 data points with $p_T>7$~GeV, and the data of fit D is the intersection between the data of fits B and C, amounting to 644 points. The exact choice of 7~GeV as the boundary between middle- and high-$p_T$ is of course somewhat arbitrary, but was chosen to increase comparability to the earlier fits in Ref.~\cite{Ma:2010yw,Gong:2012ug}.

\end{sidewaystable}

The results of our four fits are summarized in Table~\ref{tab:Fitresults} and compared to data in Figs.~\ref{fig:FitAandData} to~\ref{fig:FitDandData}. The uncertainty bands of the theory curves are created by setting $\mu_r=\mu_f=\xi\sqrt{p_T^2+4m_c^2}$ and $\mu_\Lambda=\xi m_c$ and varying $\xi$ between 0.5 and 2. To study the individual fit contributions, in Figs.~\ref{fig:DiffEigenPlotsFitA} to~\ref{fig:DiffEigenPlotsFitD} we break down the theory curves of the four fits into contributions of the different Fock states and eigenvectors for two example observables, namely the CDF measurement of set 1 and the helicity frame $\lambda_\theta$ of LHCb data set P1 in the lowest rapidity bin. We choose helicity frame $\lambda_\theta$ here because it has been the polarization observable with the most prominent data-theory tensions. While for $d\sigma/dp_T$ of set 1, we directly compare to the data, to visualize the individual contributions for $\lambda_\theta$, however, we have to plot $d\sigma_{00}$ and $d\sigma_{11}$ separately and keep in mind that in order to achieve $\lambda_\theta=0$ in accordance with data, $d\sigma_{00}$ and $d\sigma_{11}$ have to be equal.

Now let us list what we can observe from our results. We first see that all fit results are in rough accordance with the NRQCD velocity scaling rules~\cite{Bodwin:1994jh}, a general requirement. Second, we see that the results of fits A and B on the one hand and of fits C and D on the other hand, qualitatively do not differ much. This implies that the polarization data has a limited effect in the fits, not surprising, given the relatively large experimental errors of the polarization data. Third, we find that the $\chi^2$/d.o.f, which takes into account only the experimental errors, is 13 to 14 in fits A and B and 2.5 to 2.7 in fits C and D, asserting that without a reasonable low-$p_T$ cut, the data cannot be fitted well, while when restricting the analysis to $p_T>7$~GeV, there is a reasonably good description. Fourth, let us look at which parts of the data are described well or less well by the individual fits. Besides slightly undershooting the unpolarized data at 4~$\mathrm{GeV}\lessapprox p_T \lessapprox 15$~GeV and slightly overshooting it at $p_T\gtrapprox 40$~GeV, fits A and B have problems describing the polarization observables, in particular they imply a strong transverse helicity frame polarization ($\lambda_\theta$ close to 1) in contrast to the largely unpolarized data ($\lambda_\theta\approx0$). In contrast to that, fits C and D yield a very good description of the unpolarized $p_T>7$~GeV data, while the data below 7~GeV is not described well. Also fits C and D imply a significant transverse polarization in the helicity frame, the tensions with the data are however much less pronounced than in fits A and B. Fifth, we observe that the fit results of A and B are very stable with regards to scale variations, while for fits C and D, the fitted curves are in many regions very sensitive to scale variations, not only for the polarization observables, but also in the $d\sigma/dp_T$ distributions, where setting the scales to half their default values renders the curves even negative at high-$p_T$. Sixth, looking at the uncorrelated contributions of the eigenvectors $\mathbf{v_i}$ in Figs.~\ref{fig:DiffEigenPlotsFitA} to~\ref{fig:DiffEigenPlotsFitD}, we observe that fit curves A and B are dominated by contributions of eigenvector $\mathbf{v_3}$, while fit curves C and D are dominated by two eigenvectors, $\mathbf{v_2}$ and $\mathbf{v_3}$. This observation is backed up by the relative uncertainties of the linear combinations $V_i$ in Table~\ref{tab:Fitresults}. In fit A, $V_3$ is about 40 times more precisely determined than $V_1$ and $V_2$, and in fits C and D, $V_2$ and $V_3$ are about 40 times more precisely determined than $V_1$.

We can expect the results of our fit D to be compatible with the earlier $\psi(2S)$ LDME fit~\cite{Ma:2010yw}, which considered the data of set 1 with $p_T>7$~GeV. There, the two linear combinations
\begin{align}
 M_0 =& \langle {\cal O}^{\psi(2S)}({^1S}_0^{[8]})\rangle + \frac{3.9}{m_c^2} \langle {\cal O}^{\psi(2S)}({^3P}_0^{[8]})\rangle \\
 M_1 =& \langle {\cal O}^{\psi(2S)}({^3S}_1^{[8]})\rangle - \frac{0.56}{m_c^2} \langle {\cal O}^{\psi(2S)}({^3P}_0^{[8]})\rangle
\end{align}
were fitted. Written in the $O_i$ basis, the corresponding vectors $\mathbf{M_0}=(0.5,0,0.87)$ and $\mathbf{M_1}=(0,0.97,-0.24)$ are indeed very close to $\mathbf{v_2}$ and $\mathbf{v_3}$ of fit D. Also their fitted values, $M_0=(0.020\pm0.006)$~GeV$^3$ and $M_1=(0.0012\pm0.0003)$~GeV$^3$, are compatible with $V_2$ and $V_3$ of fit D. As for accuracy, $V_2$ ($V_3$) of fit D is determined 26 (67) times more precisely than $M_0$ ($M_1$) of~\cite{Ma:2010yw}, and while in~\cite{Ma:2010yw}, the third linear combination could not be determined at all, $V_1$ of fit D is at least known to about 34\%.

\section{Summary}

To summarize, we calculated NLO short-distance cross sections for all suitable $p_T$ differential polarized and unpolarized inclusive $\psi(2S)$ production data, and fitted the three CO LDMEs $\langle {\cal O}^{\psi(2S)}({^1S}_0^{[8]})\rangle$, $\langle {\cal O}^{\psi(2S)}({^3S}_1^{[8]})\rangle$ and $\langle {\cal O}^{\psi(2S)}({^3P}_0^{[8]})\rangle$ to four subsets of the available data. All fit results are compatible with the velocity scaling rules of NRQCD. Our findings show that the polarization data has limited effect on the fit results, and that a consistent description of all data is not possible without a large low-$p_T$ cut, like the requirement $p_T>7$~GeV, which leads to reasonably good descriptions of all data with $\chi^2/\mathrm{d.o.f.}=2.5$ to 2.7. The $p_T>7$~GeV-fit results are thereby one order of magnitude more precise than those of the previous fit in Ref.~\cite{Ma:2010yw}, allowing even for a determination of the third, previously undetermined, linear LDME combination. A drawback of the $p_T>7$~GeV-fit results are however the poor perturbative stability over a large kinematic range as seen by the very high sensitivity to scale variations.

Our work is thus reemphasizing that, like in $J/\psi$ production, a consistent description of $\psi(2S)$ production is at NLO in NRQCD, if at all, only possible with a high low-$p_T$ cut like $p_T>7$~GeV. This fact challenges NRQCD factorization, because a physical reason why the theory should only work for high-$p_T$ $\psi(2S)$ mesons, but not for low- and middle-$p_T$ ones, remains unclear. Furthermore, experience from $J/\psi$ production shows that real challenges to NRQCD factorization only arise once more diverse production observables are included in the analyses, like $\gamma p$ collisions, the related $\eta_c$ production, production in association with heavy gauge bosons or double quarkonium production. Such diverse measurements are not yet there in the $\psi(2S)$ case.

Positive allosteric modulators of mGluR2 have therapeutic potential for a range of psychiatric and neurological disorders, but there is a need for methods, such as in vivo imaging, that can detect therapeutic response.
Parkinson's disease is a devastating neurodegenerative disorder and there is not yet cure for it. There are several theories of its pathology including modulation of dopamine and glutamate neurotransmission. In preclinical investigation mGlu4 positive allosteric modulators (PAMs) have demonstrated anti-parkinsonian effects making them a new therapeutic approach for PD and the first clinical trial of using mGlu4 PAM based drug is in process.
The diversity and heterogeneous distribution of mGluR subtypes through the CNS provides an opportunity for developing compounds (or drugs) to selectively target a specific subsystem, aiming to ameliorate symptoms of distinct neurological disorders while limiting the disruptive effects of an altered glutamate transmission on brain function. In particular, mGlu5 receptors regulate local protein synthesis and mRNA translation at synapses, and are thus ideally positioned to control synaptic plasticity. Studies have implicated mGlu5 in a wide variety of symptoms associated with Fragile X Syndrome (FXS). Finding translatable similarities between glutamatergic neurotransmission in FXS mice and human Fragile X Syndrome will help guide future clinical trials toward more successful outcomes and effective drugs for treatments.
