Het impulsmoment van licht is een vectorgrootheid die de hoeveelheid dynamische rotatie uitdrukt die aanwezig is in het elektromagnetische veld van het licht . Terwijl hij ongeveer in een rechte lijn beweegt, kan een lichtstraal ook rond zijn eigen as roteren (of " draaien "). Deze rotatie, hoewel niet zichtbaar voor het blote oog, kan worden aangetoond als er interactie van de lichtstraal met materie is.

Er zijn twee verschillende manieren waarop een lichtstraal kan roteren, de ene heeft te maken met polarisatie en de andere met de vorm van het golffront . Deze twee vormen van rotatie worden  produceren twee verschillende vormen van impulsmoment : resp. lichtspinimpulsmoment (SAM) en licht orbitaal impulsmoment (OAM).

Het totale impulsmoment van licht (of van het elektromagnetische veld ) en materie blijft in de tijd constant.

Inleiding
Licht, of meer in het algemeen een elektromagnetische golf, bezit niet alleen energie maar ook impuls, wat een karakteristieke eigenschap is van alle objecten in translatiebeweging . Het bestaan van deze impuls wordt duidelijk in het verschijnsel ' stralingsdruk ", waarbij een lichtstraal zijn impuls overbrengt op een absorberend of verstrooiend voorwerp, wat resulteert in een mechanische druk.

Licht kan ook een draaimoment hebben, wat een eigenschap is van alle ronddraaiende voorwerpen. Een lichtstraal kan bijvoorbeeld rond zijn eigen as roteren terwijl hij zich naar voren voortplant. Het bestaan ook van dit draaimoment kan aangetoond worden door het over te brengen op kleine absorberende of verstrooiende deeltjes, die dan dus onderhevig zijn aan een optisch koppel.

Men kan men twee " vormen van rotatie " onderscheiden, de eerste heeft te maken met de rotatie van de elektrische en magnetische velden rondom de voortplantingsrichting, en de tweede met de rotatie van lichtstralen rond de as van de hoofdbundel. Deze twee rotaties worden geassocieerd met twee vormen van impulsmoment, namelijk SAM en OAM. Dit onderscheid vervaagt echter voor sterk gefocuste of divergerende bundels, en in het algemeen kan alleen het totale impulsmoment van een lichtveld worden gedefinieerd. Een belangrijk grensgeval waarin dit onderscheid duidelijk en ondubbelzinnig is, is dat van een " paraxiale " lichtbundel, dat wil zeggen een goed gecollimeerde bundel waarin alle lichtstralen (of, meer precies, alle Fourier -componenten van het optische veld ) alleen kleine hoeken met de bundelas maken.

Voor zo'n bundel is SAM uitsluitend gerelateerd aan de optische polarisatie, en in het bijzonder aan de zogenaamde circulaire polarisatie . OAM houdt verband met de ruimtelijke veldverdeling, en in het bijzonder met de spiraalvorm van het golffront .

Als de oorsprong zich buiten de bundelas bevindt is er nog een derde impulsmomentbijdrage die wordt verkregen als het kruisproduct van de bundelpositie en het totale momentum . Deze derde term wordt ook wel " orbitaal " genoemd, omdat deze afhangt van de ruimtelijke verdeling van het veld. Omdat de waarde afhankelijk is van de keuze van de oorsprong, wordt het " extern " baanimpulsmoment genoemd in tegenstelling tot de " interne " OAM die zich voordoet in spiraalvormige bundels.

Uitdrukkingen voor het impulsmoment van licht
Een uitdrukking voor het totale impulsmoment van een elektromagnetisch veld die veel wordt gebruikt is de volgende, waarin geen onderscheid wordt gemaakt tussen de twee vormen van rotatie:waar  en  zijn respectievelijk de elektrische en magnetische velden,  is de vacuüm permittiviteit als we SI-eenheden gebruiken.

Een andere uitdrukking van het impulsmoment komt voor uit de de stelling van Noether, waarin er twee afzonderlijke termen zitten die kunnen worden geassocieerd met SAM (  ) en OAM (  ): hier in is  is de vectorpotentiaal van het magnetische veld, en de symbolen met i -superscript geven de cartesische componenten van de overeenkomstige vectoren aan.

Het kan worden bewezen dat deze twee uitdrukkingen gelijkwaardig zijn voor elk elektromagnetisch veld dat snel genoeg verdwijnt uit een afgebakend gebied. De twee termen in de tweede uitdrukking zijn echter fysiek dubbelzinnig, aangezien ze niet ijkinvariant zijn. Een ijkinvariante versie kan worden verkregen door de vectorpotentiaal A en het elektrische veld E te vervangen door hun "dwars"component  en , waardoor de volgende uitdrukking wordt verkregen:Deze stap moet nog als juist bewezen worden. Deze  uitdrukking heeft nog meer problemen, omdat kan worden aangetoond dat de twee termen geen echte impulsmomenten zijn, omdat ze niet voldoen aan de juiste kwantumcommutatieregels. Hun som, dat is het totale impulsmoment, doet dat wel.

Een equivalente maar eenvoudigere uitdrukking voor een monochromatische golf van frequentie ω, met behulp van de complexe notatie voor de velden, is de volgende: Laten we nu de paraxiale limiet beschouwen, waarbij we de bundelas laten samen vallen met de z-as van het coördinatensysteem. Binnen deze limiet is de enige significante component van het impulsmoment die van z, dat wil zeggen het impulsmoment van de lichtstraalrotatie rond deze eigen as, terwijl de andere twee componenten verwaarloosbaar zijn.waar  en  duiden respectievelijk de linker en rechter circulaire polarisatiecomponenten aan.

Uitwisseling van spin en baanimpulsmoment met materie

Wanneer een lichtstraal met een draaiimpulsmoment dat niet gelijk is aan nul een absorberend deeltje raakt, kan dat deeltje een draaiende beweging krijgen. Dit gebeurt zowel bij SAM als bij OAM. Als het deeltje zich echter niet in het midden van de bundel bevindt, zullen ze twee verschillende rotaties veroorzaken. SAM zal leiden het tollen van het deeltje rond zijn eigen middelpunt, terwijl OAM het deeltje zal laten draaien rondom de bundelas.    Deze verschijnselen zijn schematisch weergegeven in de figuur.

In een doorzichtig medium, in de paraaxiale limiet, wordt de optische SAM voornamelijk uitgewisseld met anisotrope systemen, bijvoorbeeld dubbelbrekende kristallen. Dunne platen dubbelbrekende kristallen worden veel gebruikt om de lichtpolarisatie te manipuleren. Telkens wanneer iets aan de polarisatie-ellipticiteit wordt gewijzigd is er een uitwisseling van SAM tussen licht en het kristal. Als het kristal vrij kan draaien, zal het dat doen. Zo niet dan wordt de SAM uiteindelijk overgedragen aan de houder en aan de aarde.

Spiraalvormige faseplaat (SPP)

In de paraxiale limiet kan de OAM van een lichtbundel worden uitgewisseld met media die een transversale ruimtelijke inhomogeniteit hebben. Een lichtstraal kan bijvoorbeeld OAM verkrijgen door een spiraalvormige faseplaat te kruisen met een variabele dikte (zie afbeelding).

Hooivork-hologram

Een handiger manier om OAM te genereren is met breking aan een vorkachtig of hooivorkhologram (zie afbeelding).     Zulke hologrammen kunnen ook dynamisch worden gegenereerd onder besturing van een computer met behulp van een ruimtelijke lichtmodulator .

Q-plaat

Een andere manier om OAM te genereren is op basis van de SAM-OAM-koppeling die kan optreden in een medium dat zowel anisotroop als inhomogeen is.  De zogenaamde q-plaat is een apparaat dat momenteel wordt ontwikkeld dat gebruik maakt van vloeibare kristallen, polymeren of subgolflengteroosters, dat OAM kan genereren door gebruik te maken van een SAM-"sign-change". Hierbij wordt het OAM-teken aangestuurd door de polarisatie van het ingangssignaal.

Cilindrische modusconverters

OAM kan ook worden gegenereerd door een Hermite-Gaussiaanse bundel om te zetten in een Laguerre- Gaussiaanse bundel met behulp van een astigmatisch systeem met twee goed uitgelijnde cilindrische lenzen die op een specifieke afstand zijn geplaatst (zie afbeelding) om een goed gedefinieerde relatieve fase te introduceren tussen horizontale en verticale Hermite-Gaussiaanse stralen.

Mogelijke toepassingen van het baanimpulsmoment van licht
De toepassingen van het spinimpulsmoment van licht zijn dezelfde als de vele toepassingen van lichtpolarisatie en zullen hier niet worden opgesomt. De mogelijke toepassingen van het baanimpulsmoment van licht zijn momenteel onderwerp van onderzoek. Met name de volgende toepassingen zijn al aangetoond in onderzoekslaboratoria, hoewel ze nog niet het stadium van commercieele toepassing hebben bereikt:

 Manipulatie van deeltjes of deeltjesaggregaten in optische pincetten
 Informatiecodering met hoge bandbreedte in optische communicatie in de vrije ruimte
 Hoger-dimensionale kwantuminformatiecodering, voor mogelijke toekomstige kwantumcryptografie of kwantumberekeningstoepassingen
 Gevoelige optische detectie

Since 1988, the Palm Beach County Human Rights Council Voters Alliance (PBCHRCVA) has interviewed close to 1,000 candidates for public office. As a result of our successes in electing LGBTQ-supportive candidates, it is illegal in Palm Beach County to discriminate against LGBTQ people with regard to employment, housing and public accommodation. In addition, conversion therapy is banned throughout the county. Moreover, there now are more than 135 local ordinances, resolutions, collective bargaining agreements and policies that provide Palm Beach County's LGBTQ residents and visitors equal rights, protections and benefits. A complete list can be found on the Laws & Policies page.
* How a candidate has voted on LGBTQ issues
* How a candidate has supported the Palm Beach County LGBTQ Community

-- STATUS UPDATE --
FEDERAL COURT CHALLENGES
Last summer, Liberty Counsel, an anti-LGBTQ hate group, filed suit in federal court on behalf of two licensed therapists seeking to nullify the ban on conversion therapy for minors enacted by Palm Beach County and the City of Boca Raton. The lawsuit is virtually identical to one filed by Liberty Counsel last December against the City of Tampa.
Although several lawsuits have been filed across the United States seeking to overturn conversion therapy bans, not a single one has been successful. In fact, on four occasions, the U.S. Supreme Court refused to take up cases challenging the bans. However, as the Supreme Court turns further and further to the right on social issues, Liberty Counsel is seeking another chance to allow therapists to abuse LGBTQ children through conversion therapy.
In October, a daylong hearing was held before U.S. District Court Judge Robin Rosenberg on the plaintiff's Motion for a Temporary Injunction. A ruling is expected soon and PBCHRC will continue to keep you informed on the status of the case as it works its way through the court system.
Unfortunately, things have not gone as expected in the federal lawsuit seeking to nullify the City of Tampa's ban on conversion therapy. In late January, a magistrate issued a recommendation to the presiding federal judge, William Jung, who was appointed to serve on the Federal court by President Trump last fall. The magistrate urged Judge Jung to grant Liberty Counsel's clients motion for a preliminary injunction which would allow conversion therapy practitioners to continue to "treat" children with "talk therapy" pending a trial on the merits later this year.
What surprised me was that the magistrate accepted Liberty Counsel's arguments that the therapists should be allowed to continue to practice conversion therapy based on their First Amendment rights to free speech. This is contrary to rulings in all of the other conversion therapy ban cases around the county.
While I am concerned about the direction where the Tampa case ultimately could go if Judge Jung adopts the magistrate's recommendation, it is important to understand that at this stage, the recommendation is only that - a recommendation. It is not an actual order from the Court. Now it is up to Judge Jung to decide whether to adopt that recommendation or issue a different ruling. That is all that counts.
Furthermore, this is only about a preliminary injunction while the case works its way through the federal courts. Regardless of the outcome of this stage of the process, there will be a trial on whether the Tampa conversion therapy ban will be upheld later this year.
It is important to keep in mind that even if Judge Jung adopts the recommendation of the magistrate, it will not be binding on Judge Rosenberg, who is presiding over the Liberty Counsel's case against Palm Beach County and the City of Boca Raton. Nor will Judge Jung's ruling be binding anywhere else outside of the City of Tampa. That having been said, Judge Rosenberg could find Judge Jung's decision to be persuasive, which would be extremely unfortunate for LGBTQ children in Palm Beach County.

While the UN devotes its human rights operations to the demonization of the democratic state of Israel above all others and condemns the United States more often than the vast majority of non-democracies around the world, the voices of real victims around the world must be heard.

A fire caused by a Palestinian arson attack

Israeli border towns hit with 1,000 fires in 3 months of Gaza terrorism
Israel Hayom
Click here to view this article (and original URL) in MS Word/PDF format
At least 40 fires raged in Gaza-adjacent communities in southern Israel on Wednesday as a result of burning kites and balloons launched from Gaza over the border fence as part of ongoing protests organized by Hamas, bringing the total number of fires set by the group's new tactic in the past three months to over 1,000.
The fires have laid waste to over 8,200 acres of forest and agricultural land, with damage totaling tens of millions of dollars. Experts say it will take at least 15 years to rehabilitate the vegetation and wildlife in the scorched areas.
When the remote arson attacks began a few months ago, some politicians and military officials dismissed them as a passing nuisance. But the protesters added explosives-laden balloons that ignite upon landing on the Israeli side of the fence to their arsenal, and now Israeli children who come across a stray kite or balloon have to back away and tell their parents to call in sappers.
Bruria Karni-Hadas, a resident of Kibbutz Kerem Shalom, admitted Wednesday that when the kites first appeared, she dismissed them as an inconvenience.
"I didn't realize at first how big [a problem] they would become, but soon it became clear.
We know what to do and how to defend ourselves from mortar shells and rockets. But now there's a different sense of helplessness, that we don't know what to do. The feeling is that there is no end in sight," said Karni-Hadas.
Karni-Hadas, a professional photographer, has been documenting the scorched region.
"We need to show as many people as possible in Israel and all over the world what's happening here. We're talking about enormous areas that have been burned down; about people's livelihood; about ecological damage and harm to our health, because heaven knows what we're inhaling.
"It's not just the sights, it's also the stench. There's always an odor of burning in the air. Every time I leave the house, I see a layer of smoke hanging over the region," she said. Valeria Mashinsky of Kibbutz Karmia is also alarmed by the latest form of terrorism from Gaza.
"Operation Protective Edge [in the summer of 2014] was scary. There were sirens and booms, but they said an operation was on and they were going to take care of Hamas, so we were willing to suffer in silence and wait for results," Mashinsky said. "Here, we don't know when it [a fire] will happen. There are no early-warning alerts, and Hamas is threatening to send over burning balloons during the night, too."
"It's stressful and the most alarming thing is that we don't know when it will be over," Mashinsky said.
Mashinsky has contacted various environmental groups about the damage caused by the fires, but has yet to receive a satisfactory response.
"It drives me crazy that [environmental] groups in Israel are worried about polar bears but not about nature in their own country. Nature in the south is going up in flames – where are their voices?" she asks.

I wasn't sure how much I wanted to share about this, but a major change has happened in my life and it will impact how I blog about fitness, food, travel and anything else on this blog. I have hinted at a monumental shift on this blog several times, and it's finally occurred. Graham and I now have a 2-year-old.
V has been in our care for just a few days, and already I have learned so much. On Day 1 I felt like I could totally do this. I got this. I can be a parent. On Day 2 I felt like a failure, like I can't do this at all. Day 3, after much-needed rest, I felt better. I am guessing that is just how it will be from now on: One day I will feel like I can do everything and the next, not so much. Or maybe it will be one minute I will feel triumphant while the next I will feel lost. Time will tell.
We are excited and slightly terrified at the same time. So I guess that's how we know we are parents.

Showing posts with the label London
By ajohnstone April 03, 2013
37% of people buying property in the most expensive neighbourhoods of central London did not intend them to be primary residences.
"Belgravia is becoming a village with fewer people in it," said Alistair Boscawen, a local real estate agent. He works in "the nuts area" of London, as he put it, "where the house prices are bonkers" — anywhere from $7.5 million to $75 million. The buyers are super-wealthy foreigners. London is not the only city where the world's richest people leave their expensive properties vacant while they stay in their expensive properties someplace else; the same is true in parts of Manhattan.
Paul Dimoldenberg, leader of the Labour opposition in Westminster Council, said the situation had reached a tipping point. "They may live here for a fortnight in the summer, but for the rest of the year they're contributing nothing to the local economy. The spectre of new buildings where there are no lights on is a real problem.&qu…
What's the alternative to the profit system?
That's the issue in this election, says THE SOCIALIST PARTY candidate in Lambeth and Southwark Danny Lambert.
On 1 May, you will have your occasional ration of democracy with the opportunity to vote for the Mayor of London and the Greater London Assembly.
It's all very well having a vote but are you normally given any real choice? Let's face it, if it wasn't mentioned on the front of the election leaflet, could you tell which party was which?
It's tempting – in the absence of any real alternative – to get drawn into the phoney war that is political debate today. Whether Labour, Tory, Lib Dem, Greens or the others, they all spout empty promises. And it all amounts to the same thing – vote, vote for us and we'll do this, this or this for you. As if they could.
None of them offer any alternative to the present way of running society. That's why they always fail to deliver. The profit system requires them to put profits before pe…
London Olympic Games
By ajohnstone March 06, 2008
The Times reports that the International Olympic Committee's demand for more than 3,000 chauffeur-driven cars for dignitaries, officials and corporate sponsors. The requirement for a fleet of VIP cars is part of the IOC's contract with London. The contract is being kept secret at the insistence of the IOC.
These cars will have access to a network of dedicated lanes, which will be closed to other traffic for up to two months. Up to 3,000 sets of traffic lights will also be adjusted to ensure that the IOC's fleet has fast access to all venues.
The IOC insists it need these cars, and in addition the 110 IOC members, 400 presidents and secretary-generals from the Olympic committees of the 200 competing nations and 450 senior executives from corporate sponsors will also receive free access to public transport .
None of the 10,500 athletes will have access to the 3,145 cars and will instead travel on a dedicated fleet of coaches. Apart from a small number of disabled parking spaces there wil…
When helping can be a crime
By ajohnstone November 14, 2007
Councillors in London are embroiled in a growing row over whether to ban the distribution of free food on public land, which could signal the end of soup runs for the capital's homeless.The idea – contained in the London Local Authorities Bill to be presented to Parliament in a fortnight – has been put forward by Westminster City Council, which claims the much-needed charitable services cause "public order issues". If the ban is approved, all those distributing free food to London's hungry will be breaking the law. The move would not include corporations wishing to promote their products by giving out free refreshments.
Luke Evans, a policy officer at Housing Justice, the charity which oversees soup runs in the capital said: "These people could be left on the streets to die. But, more than anything, it is a philosophical principle that you should be able to care for your fellow human beings. They are penalising people who are trying to help.There is a danger that…
The trickle-down theory
The Crystal nightclub in London's West End made the news recently when one businessmen spent £105,000 in one night. The club's general manager says it is becoming more common for bills to reach these eye-watering figures. Many of Crystal's party-goers can be found in their suits and at their desks inside the glass skyscrapers of Canary Wharf. But is it actually good for London? "Yes,"says Howard Wheeldon, a city analyst with BGC Partners based in Canary Wharf, "there's a massive trickle-down effect."
In the shadow of Canary Wharf's towers, a charity called Toynbee Hall is holding an open day for under-privileged East End kids. The children here - often from Somali or Bengali families - are among the poorest in the country.
Toynbee Hall's director, believes there is not much evidence of the "trickle-down effect" for them. I ask him if the rich and poor in the area ever mix. He tells me to go and sit in the designer shopping mall under…


We Help Federal and Non-Federal Employees!
President Trump on Friday signed into law a spending bill to avoid another partial government shutdown, ensuring full-year appropriations for all federal agencies, while also signing a national emergency declaration enabling him to move money from various accounts to boost funding for a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border.
Trump said on Friday he was not happy with the spending bill, primarily because it only provided $1.375 billion for physical barriers along the border. He agreed to sign the measure and avoid a second shutdown this year, however, because his declaration will enable him to shift funds allocated for military construction and other federal programs to pay for more wall construction.

Acting White House Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney told reporters on Friday that Trump will have roughly $8 billion for wall construction. About $600 million to the Treasury Forfeiture Fund, $2.5 billion from the Defense Department's counter-drug activities and other Pentagon accounts, $3.6 billion from military construction and the $1.4 billion from the spending bill, Mulvaney said.
Trump said on Friday he "didn't need to" sign the emergency declaration, but it would enable him to build the wall "much faster." Several groups promised immediate legal action to prevent the White House from proceeding with its plan.
The president's dual signings staves off a the shutdown threat through September. A continuing resolution that ended the previous, 35-day partial shutdown was set to expire at midnight.
The bill sets line-by-line spending levels for the departments of Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, State, Interior, Agriculture, Treasury, Commerce, Homeland Security and Justice, as well as the Environmental Protection Agency, NASA, Office of Personnel Management and other independent agencies. For a full analysis of the contents of that bill, which includes a 1.9 percent pay raise for federal employees, see here.
The next fiscal fight is just around the corner, with the debt ceiling set to be reinstated March 1. Lawmakers will likely have some grace period to avoid a default, as the Treasury Department can institute its usual "extraordinary measures." Congress will have to strike a deal to raise spending caps for fiscal 2020, or else face dramatic sequestration cuts as a result of the 2011 Budget Control Act.

Q: Delphi Upload a text file using HTTP I'm trying to upload a multi-line text file to be GeoCoded by BING.

I'm using TIdHTTP at the moment, but it seems that the line breaks in the text file are removed when transmitting the file as they (Bing) only ever geocode the first line of the file and the rest is ignored.
lHTTP := TIdHTTP.Create(nil);
...

//Build the http request string
HTTPRequest := 'http://spatial.virtualearth.net/REST/v1/Dataflows/Geocode?input=csv&output=xml&key=' + BingKey;

//Setup the HTTP request parameters
lHTTP.Request.ContentType := 'text/plain';
lHTTP.Request.Method := 'POST';

//Send the request to Bing. Result in XMLResult StringStream
lHTTP.Post(HTTPRequest, lParamList, XMLResult);

The following example is from Microsoft but I'm not enough of an expert to adapt the HTTPWebRequest part using the stream to Delphi.
//Parameters:
//   dataFilePath: The path to the file that contains the spatial data to geocode.
//   dataFormat: The format of the input data. Possible values are xml, csv, tab and pipe.
//   key: The Bing Maps Key to use for this job. The same key is used to get job status and download results.
//   description: Text that is used to describe the geocode dataflow job.
//Return value : A URL that defines the location of the geocode dataflow job that was created.
static string CreateJob(string dataFilePath, string dataFormat, string key, string description)
{
    //Define parameters for the HTTP request
    //
    // The 'Content-Type' header of the HTTP Request must be "text/plain" or "application/xml"
    // depending on the input data format.
    //
    string contentType = "text/plain";
    if (dataFormat.Equals("xml", StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase))
        contentType = "application/xml";

    StringBuilder queryStringBuilder = new StringBuilder();

    //
    // The 'input'(input format) and 'key' (Bing Maps Key) parameters are required.
    //
    queryStringBuilder.Append("input=").Append(Uri.EscapeUriString(dataFormat));
    queryStringBuilder.Append("&");
    queryStringBuilder.Append("key=").Append(Uri.EscapeUriString(key));

    if (!String.IsNullOrEmpty(description))
    {
        //
        // The 'description' parameter is optional.
        //
        queryStringBuilder.Append("&");
        queryStringBuilder.Append("description=").Append(Uri.EscapeUriString(description));
    }

    //Build the HTTP URI that will upload and create the geocode dataflow job
    UriBuilder uriBuilder = new UriBuilder("http://spatial.virtualearth.net");
    uriBuilder.Path = "/REST/v1/dataflows/geocode";
    uriBuilder.Query = queryStringBuilder.ToString();

    //Include the data to geocode in the HTTP request
    using (FileStream dataStream = File.OpenRead(dataFilePath))
    {
        HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(uriBuilder.Uri);

        //
        // The HTTP method must be 'POST'.
        //
        request.Method = "POST";
        request.ContentType = contentType;

        using (Stream requestStream = request.GetRequestStream())
        {
            byte[] buffer = new byte[16384];
            int bytesRead = dataStream.Read(buffer, 0, buffer.Length);
            while (bytesRead > 0)
            {
                requestStream.Write(buffer, 0, bytesRead);

                bytesRead = dataStream.Read(buffer, 0, buffer.Length);
            }
        }

        //Submit the HTTP request and check if the job was created successfully.
        using (HttpWebResponse response = (HttpWebResponse)request.GetResponse())
        {
            //
            // If the job was created successfully, the status code should be
            // 201 (Created) and the 'Location' header should contain a URL
            // that defines the location of the new dataflow job. You use this
            // URL with the Bing Maps Key to query the status of your job.
            //
            if (response.StatusCode != HttpStatusCode.Created)
                throw new Exception ("An HTTP error status code was encountered when creating the geocode job.");

            string dataflowJobLocation = response.GetResponseHeader("Location");
            if (String.IsNullOrEmpty(dataflowJobLocation))
                throw new Exception ("The 'Location' header is missing from the HTTP response when creating a goecode job.");

            return dataflowJobLocation;
        }
    }
}

A: 2 main points in comparing the code. First you send your code as text/plain not application/xml and secondly they escape their data, you just send the XML. Have you tried it as escaped data?

A: Probably TStringList is changing the content of the input file. At least some of the bytes. It would be better to post the data as pure stream, either as memory or file stream.
Indy has the following overloaded methods for posting:
function Post(AURL: string; ASource: TStrings): string; overload;
function Post(AURL: string; ASource: TStream): string; overload;
function Post(AURL: string; ASource: TIdMultiPartFormDataStream): string; overload;
procedure Post(AURL: string; ASource: TIdMultiPartFormDataStream; AResponseContent: TStream); overload;
procedure Post(AURL: string; ASource: TStrings; AResponseContent: TStream); overload;

{Post data provided by a stream, this is for submitting data to a server}
procedure Post(AURL: string; ASource, AResponseContent: TStream); overload;

Several of them are appropriate for posting raw streams.

2008 Nobel laureate in physics Masukawa dies at 81
KYODO NEWS - Jul 29, 2021 - 22:18 | All, Japan

When researching for our weekend away at Nelson Bay, I was so excited at the prospect of visiting the Stockton Sand Dunes in the Worimi Conservation Lands. My childhood memories of exploring sand dunes at Double Island Point and Rainbow Beach in Queensland came to mind, only the Stockton Sand Dunes appeared to have much more on offer for thrill seekers. You can go sand boarding, do a quad bike tour, 4WD tour, camel or horseback safari, which would all be amazing ways to take in the scenery. However, I had to reel in my adventurous spirit somewhat; as adrenaline activities in your third trimester may not be the best idea. Plus Braino reminded me that we always have the most fun when we just chill out and let Farley explore and splash in the water. So we still headed to Birubi Point at Anna Bay, which is a 15 minute drive from Nelson Bay, and found that keeping it simple was the best way to enjoy the beach, rock pools and sand dunes with a little one.
First, we headed down to the lower car park, where the tours leave from, including the camel safari. One of Farley's latest animal obsessions, second only to octopuses, is camels. One day, while I was searching for something in the garage, she found an old camel souvenir I had purchased in Egypt nearly 10 years ago and ever since she has been fascinated - we call it Zamel the Camel. (There is a camel on the Wiggles called Zamel and it always frightened her whenever it was on, so thankfully the new Zamel helped her overcome her fears) So I knew that she would really get a kick out of seeing some real life camels. The camels from Oakfield Camel Ranch wait right next to the car park in between safaris so it's really easy to get close and have a look. While children over the age of two are able to ride with a parent, Farley was technically two months too young and beside, sitting 7 foot in the air on the back of a camel isn't really ideal if you're heavily pregnant :( But Farley love just being able to see them - I'd say it was the highlight of her trip.
After climbing up and over the small dunes between the lower car park and the ocean, we headed over to the northern end of the beach where we found some tidal pools amongst the rocks. This is a great place to take your little one for a swim and a splash - the beach is generally pretty rough with waves however around the rocks there were some clear, warm pools; shallow enough for a toddler to stand in while deep enough for a parent to lay back and relax. There were a few other parents who had the same idea.
The amenities at Birubi Beach are fantastic too! There are large clean public toilets and showers, a kiosk and a restaurant - Crest Birubi Beach. There is also plenty of parking. The only thing it did, understandably lack was shade. So be sure to pack plenty of sun protection.
Back in late November, with the silly season creeping up on us, which would only then be followed closely by the arrive of babybrain#2, we realised that if we wanted to have a relaxing family weekend away, it was now or never.
Braino managed to wrangle a long weekend from his busy work schedule (some weeks, he's lucky to get a Sunday off) and I began the somewhat ambitious task of booking family friendly, last minute accommodation somewhere on the Central Coast. Oh and dog friendly too because the thought of also finding a kennel / dog sitter seemed impossible and I'd feel too guilty leaving our British Bulldog Costanza behind.
I have to say though, we absolutely loved Nelson Bay, and the Port Stephens area in general. It was exactly what were were looking for. We booked a modest holiday house through Stayz - nothing luxurious but within our budget and totally toddler and dog friendly. It was only a 5 minute walk from Stockton Street, the main street of Nelson Bay, where you'll find a wide variety of boutiques, cafes and a Woolworths. A little further on foot is the marina, where there are more restaurant options and a very popular playground that is fantastic for toddlers. It's right along the waterfront so you can see some beautiful yachts and have a splash in the crystal clear water as well.
A bit further along Victoria Parade but still totally walkable, is Little Nelson Bay. An ideal beach for families, it has calm, clear water and gorgeous white sand. We had a wonderful morning splashing in the water, digging holes and filling them with water, building sand castles and of course, knocking them down. For older kids, there is Splash Waterpark between the marina and the beach. It's a modular inflatable water play area that looked pretty fun! You can also hire bikes and ride along the water front. We were keen to do this as the bikes do come with baby seats, however we just ran out of time.
When the weather looked a little rainy, we decided to check out the Irukandji Shark and Ray Encounters, where you can feed small sharks and sting rays. We thought this might be an interesting experience for Farley as she has recently become fascinated in underwater sea creatures, however, unless your toddler is obsessed with sting-rays, I'd probably give it a miss. There was a group of kids around the age of 8 - 10 years old who were having a birthday party and they appeared to be having great time, so I'd still recommend it to a family with older kids. At best, it's a unique experience if you're keen for a close encounter with a select few sea creatures. At worst, it's a hot shed filled with sting rays. All was not lost though, we found a cute octopus toy in the gift ship which has quickly become one of Farley's favourite toys.
A trip to Port Stephen's wouldn't be complete without a visit to the Worimi Conservation Lands, especially the other-worldly Stockton Sand Dunes. While there is so much to see and do at the sand dunes - everything from sandboarding to 4WD and quad bike tours to camel and horse back tours; this may not seem very toddler friendly. However we had an amazing afternoon there, so I've put together a separate blog post to share more photos and and tips on what to do at the sand dunes with a toddler.
Mums - if you're able to steal an hour or so to yourself in Nelson Bay, I'd highly recommended a bit of shopping along Stockton Street. There is some fantastic fashion and homewares boutiques - I think Braino panicked a little when he saw what was on offer and started to calculate how many cushions and scented candles we could fit in the car :) Grab a coffee from Ethica Coffee House or a fruit smoothie from Passionfruit Juice Bar and check out Homebody, Boho Luxe Trader, Crows Nest Home Traders and Entice U for homewares and gifts; Covet Couture, Hula Hut and Else and Me for coastal inspired fashions. Bellarose Boutique had some adorable children's fashion and gifts and I also really loved browsing in Earthquirks, home to some amazing locally made art.
As for our dog Costanza, she had a wondferful time! We took her on many walks down the main street and to the park at the marina. She loved all the attention she received from the friendly locals. The house we booked was ok to have dogs inside and the yard was fully fenced with no neighbouring dogs, which is always a win! We were fairly close to the Bagnall's Beach , which is a designated off-leash beach, although Costanza hates water so we didn't get down there ourselves.
I would describe Nelson Bay as family friendly, budget alternative to places like Noosa and Port Douglas. It has everything you could possibly want in a family holiday destination while still retaining a relaxed, undiscovered vibe. It was very easy to drive to from where we live in Northern Sydney but even if you were traveling from interstate, it's only an hour drive from Newcastle Airport. We only just got a taste of what Port Stephens has on offer during our long weekend there, so we'll definitely be back to explore more of the beaches and beautiful natural scenery.

Олів'є́ Ассая́с (;  25 січня 1955, Париж, Франція) — французький кінорежисер, сценарист, кінокритик.

Біографія та кар'єра
Олів'є Ассаяс народився 25 січня 1955 року у Парижі в сім'ї французького режисера Жака Ремі. Закінчив ліцей «Блеза Паскаля» в Орсе, а потім і Вищу національну школу образотворчих мистецтв у Парижі. Має диплом за спеціальністю «сучасна література» Паризького Університету «Нова Сорбанна-3».

Ассаяс починав свою кар'єру в кіноіндустрії працюючи асистентом батька-режисера. З 1980 по 1985 рік працював критиком у відомому кінематографічному часописі «Cahiers du cinéma», у 1982–1985 рр. — у журналі «Rock & Folk». Під час роботи у виданнях часто захоплювався роботами азійських режисерів. Саме у ці роки він знімає свої перші 4 короткометражних стрічки.

Повноцінним дебютом Олів'є Ассаяса у великому кіно став сценарій для фільму «Місце злочину» (, 1986) з Катрін Денев, який він створив спільно з режисером Андре Тешіне. Згодом Ассаяс зніме більшість своїх фільмів за власними сценаріями.

У 1986 році Олів'є Ассаяс зняв свій перший повнометражний фільм «Безлад». Першим фестивальним фільмом режисера стала стрічка «Холодна вода» (), яка була представлена в секції «Особливий погляд» Каннського кінофестивалю у 1994 році.

Знаковий етап в кар'єрі Ассаяса — стрічка «Ірма Веп» (, 1996) із зіркою гонконзького кіно Мегі Чун, відомою своїми ролями у фільмах Вонга Кар-Вая. У 2004 Ассаяс запросив акторку у свою незалежну драму «Очищення», за яку Мегі Чун отримала звання найкращої акторки Каннського кінофестивалю. У своїх статтях та інтерв'ю Ассаяс неодноразово підкреслював вплив азійського кіно на розвиток своєї кіномови. Успіх у масового глядача Олів'є Ассаяс завоював участю у альманахах короткометражних фільмів «У кожного своє кіно» (2007) та «Париж, я люблю тебе» (2006).

У 2012 році Ассаяс знімає «Щось в повітрі» () — стрічку про протести французьких студентів у 1961 році. Фільм був представлений в основному конкурсі 69-го міжнародного Венеційського кінофестивалю і отримав премію Золоті Озелли за найкращий сценарій.

У 2014 році вийшов фільм Ассаяса «Зільс-Марія» () з Жульєт Бінош, Крістен Стюарт та Хлоєю Грейс Морец. Фільм був представлений на Каннському кінофестивалі і претендував на здобуття Золотої пальмової гілки, а у 2015 році номінувався у 6 категоріях головної французької кінематографічної премії «Сезар» та отримав Приз Луї Деллюка. Крім стрічки «Зільс-Марія» на головну нагороду у Каннах висувалися ще три фільми режисера: у 2000 році — мелодрама з Еммануель Беар і Ізабель Юппер «Сентиментальні долі» (); у 2002 — детективний трилер «Демон-коханець» (); у 2004 — драма «Очищення» () з Мегі Чун іта Ніком Нолті.

У 2011 році Олів'є Ассаяс входив до складу журі основного конкурсу 64-го Каннського кінофестивалю.

У жовтні 2014 Олів'є Ассаяс приступив до роботи над гангстерським трилером «Око ідола» (, 2015) з Робертом Паттінсоном та Робертом Де Ніро.

Особисте життя
У 1998 році Олів'є Ассаяс одружився з гонконзькою кіноакторкою Мегі Чун (Міс Гонконг 1983). У 2001 році вони розлучилися. Друга дружина Олів'є — акторка і режисер Міа Хенсен-Леве. У 2009 році у пари народилася перша дитина.

Олів'є Ассаяс і Україна
У січні 2015 року Олів'є Ассаяс відвідав Україну, де взяв участь у презентації ретроспективи своїх фільмів, що проходила у столичному кінотеатрі Київ з 23 по 26 січня 2015. Були представлені стрічки режисера «Літній час», «Ірма Веп», «Холодна вода» та «Демон-коханець».

Among them are essays by French philosophers Louis Bourdeau and Victor Espinas, which founded the ideas in the 1880s and 1890s.
This is a translation of Alexandre Koyré's important, but overlooked essay "Hegel à Iéna." The essay originally appeared in Alexandre Koyré, Etudes d'histoire de la pensée philosophique. A contribution to the philosophy of time, this essay had a profound but generally unrecognized influence on Alexander Kojève, Jean Hyppolite and Jacques Derrida.
Alexandre Dikovsky is born in Leningrad, Russia on August 9, 1945. He died in Nantes, France in the beginning of 2014. He is well known for his significant contributions to the fields of Mathematics, Linguistics, and Informatics. In the course of his career, he published over 100 research papers, 12 book chapters, and participated in numerous national and international projects.
The brilliant Hegelian philosopher Alexandre Kojève remains among the most enigmatic figures of twentieth-century philosophy. Although a highly systematic thinker, he left no systematic presentation of his thought. His most important book deceptively appears to be a mere secondary work on Hegel's Phenomenology of the Spirit; most of his nine books and many essays have not even appeared in English. This brief, lucid study takes the reader to the heart of Kojève's philosophical project.
Nichols examines the major writings of Alexandre Kojève, and clarifies the character and brings to light the importance of his political philosophy. This is an essential assessment of Kojève which considers the works that preceded his turn to Hegel, seeks to articulate the character of his Hegelianism, and reflects in detail on the two different meanings that the end of history had in two different periods of his thought.
Eros Turannos analyzes the debates between Leo Strauss and Alexandre Kojeve. Their debates are contextualized through the Platonic notion of a likeness between the psuche and the polis . This classical notion is updated through contemporary philosopher William Desmond's linked accounts of eros and tyranny.

What and who is a Frank Lloyd Wright?
Photo credit Tim Long
Have you ever heard anyone say, 'Hey, that looks like a Frank Lloyd Wright'? Typically the conversation is centered around architecture and not physical attributes of the person. Frank Lloyd Wright (born with the name of Frank Lincoln Wright in 1867), was a gifted and colorful man of passion, geometry, nature and simplicity.
There is no recorded documentation of Wright's successful completion of Madison High School in Wisconsin yet he was admitted to the University of Wisconsin as a special student, completed two semesters before leaving in search of work. There was a lot of work available in Chicago following the 1871 Great Chicago Fire and Wright was able to land a job as a draftsman at an architectural firm. This was the beginning of a masterful American architectural journey not since replicated.
Wright's architectural focus was to design structures that had a harmonious relationship with humanity and the environment, he called this 'organic architecture,' where he believed the structure should appear as though it had naturally grown from the site. He was credited with leading the 'Prairie School' movement of architecture which is marked by horizontal roof lines, flat or hipped roofs with broad overhanging eaves, windows grouped in horizontal bands and integration with the landscape. The horizontal lines were said to relate to the native Prairie landscape, hence the descriptive name. Wright was also forward looking and interested in setting American architecture apart from European history and structure. Wright also was a first in partnering with other architects to create signature windows and light fixtures that were reflective of the long and harmonious architectural lines. There are 3 Frank Lloyd Wright built homes in the Pacific Northwest, they are in; Lakewood, Sammamish and Normandy Park, Washington.
He also coined the word, Usonia, to refer to his unique vision of the American architecture landscape and city planning. Usonian homes were small, single story buildings without a garage or much storage with the intent of designing affordable homes for the middle class masses. These structures were 'L' shaped to fit around a private internal garden constructed of native materials, flat roofs, and large cantilevered overhangs to accommodate passive solar heating. Photo credit Build LLC
Frank Lloyd Wright was not only passionate about his art but lived a colorful personal life with three wives over the course of his lifetime and 8 children. He had a gift and deep interest in finding and selling Japanese Artwork and made more money over time with those sales than from architecture. Wright's final architectural project was the creation of the Guggenheim Museum over a 16 year period–those doors opened 6 months after his passing in 1959 at the age of 91. Wright will live on in his creations and masterful work and as he once said, "I would like to have free architecture--that which belongs where you see it standing–and is a grace to the landscape instead of a disgrace."

When someone learns that our oldest son is adopted, they will often respond by saying, "Wow, he is so lucky to have you guys!" We laugh to ourselves because we know nothing could be further from the truth.
What they don't know is that our oldest son has done much more for us than we could ever do for him.
Adopting our son has taught us some unexpected life lessons that we would have never learned had it not been for him.
Today we want to share a few of these lessons with you.
In parenting an adopted child, we quickly learned to extend Grace to ourselves for many things, especially not having all the answers. We learned to extend grace to him when he didn't always adapt to situations the way that we felt he should. And most importantly learned how to extend grace to those who were in his life long before us.
Many times it is easy to look at someone and wonder how they could "choose" an addiction or lifestyle over their child. However, when you are raising that child, you learn that there is so much more to a story. Often that biological parent's addiction or inability to parent began years before the first drink, the first pill, or the first negative life choice. What we see from the outside, looking in, is a consequence of what they did to try to cope and adapt to their state of brokenness. When you become parents to a child by means of adoption, your responsibility is to be a nonjudgmental positive influence in that child's world and to show them what it means to love unconditionally. You do this not because you are this amazing human being, but rather because you are raising an amazing human being and you want them to see and know that love is stronger than judgment.
The process from custody to adoption was about a two and a half year journey for us. Those two and a half years were full of trials, frustrations, and questions. Some days felt like years, and minutes that felt like days. We experienced every emotion that you could imagine during that process, some we can't even put into words. But because we understood that we had been given an amazing opportunity to raise this child, we never wanted him to be privy to any of the negative and challenging emotions we were going through, so we always found something to be joyful for.
Most days that was super easy. Our son has an amazing heart and can light up any room that he is in with his beaming smile. But, other days it was incredibly hard to find joy. Those were the days that our son taught us the most. On days when he would reveal parts of his past that he had kept hidden and our hearts would break for the things he experienced so young, we found joy in knowing that he was finally in a place where he felt safe enough to share these stories with someone. We would and still do find joy in all the places, spaces, and events of life where most people would not expect to find it. The blessing of being able to find buried joy is because of the blessing of our son.
In having an adopted son we quickly learned that for the sake of our son, we would need to be willing to share in many areas. We had to share the titles of "Mom and Dad." We had to share holidays, and even at times, we shared our biological children with his extended biological family. We learned to share things that truthfully we didn't always feel we should have had to share, but we know it would mean a lot to our son if we did.
Through this process, we began to learn that sharing parts of your life and being a part of someone else's story isn't always a bad thing. We are so thankful that we get the blessing of sharing our home, our love, and our hearts with our son in unique and special ways that we only get to experience because we chose to share our lives and become his adoptive parents. As we have learned to embrace the tough moments of sharing, we have learned that it's not always about us!
As we began to see and learn more about the things our son had experienced, we have become incredibly thankful for our own life experiences. We're grateful for parents who loved us and raised us in a loving environment that was full of hope, boundaries, and second chances. For friends, and strangers who became friends during the crazy journey of adopting and parenting. For lessons learned that might not have otherwise been discovered. We're thankful for grace in the mess ups (and trust us there were a lot of messing up), wise counsel and most of all for being able to fill a void in our lives that we never knew existed until our oldest son joined our family. Adopting our son has made us thankful for things that, like most people, we use to take for granted.
In the end, adopting our son has not only made us better parents to all our children, adopted, step, and biological, but also better in our friendships and extended family relationships.
It has taught us how to extend grace, love, joy, peace, patience, and understanding when before we may not have chosen to do so. Becoming our sons parents has been one of the greatest blessings of our lives.
So, when people want to point out how, "lucky" he is, we laugh because we know that he's not the "lucky" one, we are.
NextWhat to do when the "ours" baby starts asking questions!
