Wine Country Getaway, Chef's Delight!
Bonne Chère is, as its name suggests, the ideal spot to kick back, relax and enjoy the good cheer and splendid food and wine that Sonoma County is known for. After a day of trolling for tasty finds (perhaps a new favorite bottle from a family-owned winery or a creamy goat cheese made near the Sonoma Coast or the freshest picks from one of the various farmer's markets), imagine relaxing with a good book and a glass of wine in Bonne Chère's comfortable living room, cooking a feast in the gourmet kitchen, lounging on the spacious deck or taking a soak in the private hot tub.
Inside Bonne Chère, guests will find the home both delightful and modern. The kitchen is stocked for even the pickiest cook, and includes stainless steel appliances, gas stove, dishwasher, beautiful wood cabinets and tile, and a wine fridge. The living room has a large television, stereo (there is a CD collection available for guests), gas fireplace and ample seating. In both bedrooms, the beds are exceedingly comfortable and made with high-quality linens. The bathroom has modern tile work and a walk-in shower with a window so guests can admire the redwoods and lush hillside while showering (a window curtain can be closed if desired).
Outside Bonne Chère is an extension of the living space. There is outdoor dining, outdoor seating, a gas grill and a private hot tub area. The property continues to wrap around the house to a 'secret' sitting spot, perfect for enjoying a locally roasted cup of Joe or stargazing with a glass of wine. Tucked against a hillside in a Guerneville neighborhood, Bonne Chère feels like its own little private world. Although there are neighbors to both the left and the right, the landscaping around the house and the hillside behind the home provides redwood views and privacy. The upper yard is mostly fenced, but not dog-proof!
Bonne Chère is located in a Guerneville neighborhood a walkable distance from downtown Guerneville. Shops, restaurants, supermarket, river access and services are all within a mile of the property. The Sonoma Coast is 13 miles. Armstrong Redwoods is a 5-minute drive. Wineries in the Russian River Valley and beyond are easily accessible by car.
Bonne Chere offers two specials for arrival dates between 4-1-19 and 5-17-19. These are very special specials! While recovery from this winter's flood is well underway, our citizens and businesses could use a little extra support this season. Choose one or the other, at no additional cost to you!
Maximum Occupancy and Quiet Hours: The maximum occupancy at Bonne Chere is 4. Quiet hours are from 10:00 p.m. until 7:00 a.m. Outdoor amplified sound is prohibited at any time.
Parking: There is space in the driveway for 2 vehicles (Garage is used for storage and not available for parking ). RVs, trailers and campers are prohibited, per the Sonoma County Vacation Rental Ordinance.
Bathroom Access: The house has one full bathroom with walk-in shower. The only entrance to the bathroom is through the master bedroom.
Would stay here again next time I get a chance!
We had a great stay at river homes. It's located ideally for exploring the beach as well as wineries and redwood forests. The house was very clean, spacious and well furnished. Would stay here again next time I get a chance!
Lovely home, super comfortable and well furnished. Very nice, top notch kitchen with everything you need for gourmet cooking and lots of nice deck area to enjoy it. Lots of little touches to detail make for a super relaxing and enjoyable time away.
Fantastic place. Clean and cozy. Recommended for couples and families.
We'd book this place again in a heartbeat!
Bonne Chere was perfect for our stay. Private and quiet, but within walking distance to downtown Guerneville. Very well-stocked kitchen equipment, suitable for foodies. Very private hot tub and great decks with comfortable furniture. The shower is HUGE and fantastic. We'd book this place again in a heartbeat.
Darling house tucked in the woods with a wonderful deck. We loved the setting and the house, the bathroom in the master was a bit strange with another couple tho. Also the neighbors are very close and were noisy into the night on the weekend. Had to ask for extra towels as only gave us one for the week. Management needs to check the reason for a smokey oven and functionality of the smoke detectors. Great selection of CDs and DVDs and otherwise comfy. We would consider returning.
- Thank you for staying with us! =) We are glad that you had a nice week! Generally this residential neighborhood is fairly peaceful and quiet time starts at 10:00 pm. We do speak to our neighbors, so we'll mention the noisy night to them. We supply 4 sets of towels for Bonne Chere- one for each person the house sleeps, and this information is included in our arrival instructions. We very much appreciate you letting us know there was an issue with the oven - this is taken care of, and the smoke detectors are working. Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review! We shall hope to host you again!
Bonne Chère is a fantastic summer retreat. This place is absolute perfection! Highlights include a spectacular deck, cozy living space, fully stocked kitchen, and a hot tub. We cooked almost every night and spent as much time lounging on the patio furniture as possible. Appreciated the welcome bubbly & dog-friendliness! We wish we could have stayed longer & will definitely be back!
1) A note of caution about yellow jackets would be helpful for future summer/fall guests. I was stung (my fault), so definitely learned we needed to exercise caution with eating & drinking outside. We bought some dryer sheets & peppermint oil to help. Some food screens would be also great for protection if guests would like to eat outside.
2) An aux cable to connect a phone or iPod to the receiver would be nice so guests can listen to their own music. That being said, it was kind of fun to enjoy the owners' eclectic music collection the old-fashioned way.
Hello and thank you for the great feedback and suggestions. We never want to leave Bonne Chere either! The yellow jackets have been a bit worse this year, but we always encourage guests to call our office if there's something like a pest invasion during your stay. We'll do what we can or call an outside vendor to address the issue. Goodness knows yellow jackets can move in without warning! And they love our favorite foods too. We appreciate the head's up so we could address these pesties in a timely manner. The owners of this home have an awesome selection of "old-fashioned" music (CDs) and we've passed along your suggestion as well. We hope to see you again soon!
What a darling little home! My husband, two dogs and I enjoyed a long weekend at this charming location! Everything has been well thought out and the kitchen is a dream. The hot tub was sparkling clean and felt so rejuvenating in the cool evenings. Because the only bathroom is in the master bedroom this may be a better rental for a family. Russian River Vacation Homes was fantastic from start to finish! Professional, friendly and a delight to deal with, I'd give this stay a 10 out of 10!
Our stay at Bonne Chere was very nice. It is in a great location very near Guerneville and tucked away in a quiet neighborhood. The property is well maintained and the house is very clean, cosy and inviting, nicely decorated with modern appliances and very comfortable beds. We were two but four could stay there easily. I'd like to stay there again!
I only recently discovered Guerneville and have fallen in love with the town and surrounding areas. The first time I visited I stayed in a number of nice hotels, which was fine, but expensive (I have a dog). But I decided on this trip to try renting a home, and I will never stay in a hotel again, if I have the choice.
Bonne Chere was everything it was advertised to be, only better. I was there for a little over two weeks. I was on my own for part of the time and had guests for both weekends. It was the perfect house for both. I felt safe and happy on my own, which was a concern not knowing what the neighborhood would be like. And there was also plenty of room for guests when they came. It was a beautiful house to entertain in.
When they say they have a gourmet kitchen, they are not kidding. There were at least four different types of coffee makers, everything from a Press to a Bialiati to a traditional coffee maker. Same for tea. And literally everything you need to cook whatever you want to cook is right there.
I do love to cook so I was so happy to find there was food processor, blender, every size pan and all really well placed in that kitchen. Filtered water and ice from the fridge and an excellent stove. I saved a fortune on going out. And the area has fresh salmon and really good beef, and veggies. It's nice to go out, but it was almost better eating in at that house.
And did I mention the grill???? In perfect condition. Easy to use. When my friends came to visit we made some of the best meals I've had to date in Guerneville.
The owners thought of everything you might want when lounging. They had one cabinet of just board games. There was a DVD shelf, filled with movies for every interest and age.
The flat screen television and the stereo are surround sound and there are a lot of viewing options. I'm not someone who watches much TV, but I indulged.
And the hot tub is perfectly situated for complete privacy. I would lean back and look up into the redwood trees, stars peeking through at night. Ah. Heaven!!!!!
Washer and dryer were great to have because you get dirty hiking and getting out and about.
My guests did not want to leave. I did not want to leave. I actually tried to stay longer but the home was booked.
I was there for a personal, semi-artist's retreat and there all these lovely places on the property to write and paint both inside and out.
The house is near to everything: Duncan Mills, Jenner, Bodega Bay, Guernville Center, the beaches, Armstrong Woods, so you can bike to a lot of places. Yet in the house I felt like I was in my own world. Only problem was sometimes I didn't want to leave the house. And so I did less sightseeing than I do when I stay in a hotel.
And I also have to say that I loved the agency that handles this property. They are incredibly friendly and efficient. And the woman who came to clean over the two weeks I was there was lovely as well. Every experience I had with this home contributed to a wonderful, relaxing time.
"Comfortable, quiet location...but a bit of a drive to most of wine country"
We stayed here for 9 nights, good size master bedroom but only 1 bathroom. Kitchen and living areas were nicely appointed and everything was in good working order. WIFI was very good, cell phone service was spotty, though if your cell phone supports WIFI calling, you are in good shape! Comcast cable was a plus as we are a customer of theirs so we could stream on our mobile devices!It is an older home but remodeled nicely. The decks could use a fresh coat of paint and the landscaping could use a bit of pruning. The bathroom vanity does not really have any room for storage of personal items, so it would be a bit inconvenient if another couple is staying in the second bedroom (we were by ourselves so not an issue for us). Great shower though! The TV in the master bedroom is on a piece of furniture to the right of the bed, at an angle that makes it uncomfortable to watch, but the one in the living room was great and the comfortable couch was great.The cost of the rental for the 9 days came in at around $2400.00 so it is not cheap. If your visit is about wine, the location (on the Russian River Valley) means a daily drive to wine country (50 miles to Yountville, 20 miles to Healdsburg as examples). If it's more about camping out, water activities on the river, good location. The Russian River Homes folks were very helpful and made our check-in and checkout process a breeze!All in all we enjoyed ourselves but we did question the value of the home expense.
Thanks for the review and opportunity to address your feedback!
We, and guests, love Bonne Chere! It's a beautiful and wild yard with jasmine vines, wisteria, bamboo and so much more offering privacy at the hot tub and all around. It did get some pruning just after your stay since it was spring and everything was growing and so happy about the rain!
And it's an ideal spot to check out West Sonoma County and the multitude of lesser known wineries in the Russian River and Green Valleys. Not to knock Healdsburg or Yountville, but you don't need to drive that far for world class tastings! And not just wine - we have thriving beer and cider producers to go with abundant local cheeses, produce, and honey. The farm to table and slow food movements both thrive in West Sonoma County!
"Quiet, private and close to town"
Bonne Chere is fantastic. The kitchen is fully equipped and appliances are very nice. Just about anything you need to cook a meal is provided. The beauty though, is found in the outdoor spaces. A great deck with late morning sun turns to shade in late afternoon. The smaller deck on the hill in the back of the house gives another private area to get away. Then, there is the hot tub space. Surrounded by bamboo, beneath the giant redwoods, it is a peaceful way to spend the night looking at the stars. We had our two dogs with us and took them on a great walk/hike both days by walking out the front door. Head up Old Cazadero Road for a good workout and great views. We will definitely be back!
Hello and thank you for sharing a review of your stay at Bonne Chere!
We think it's a great spot for cooking too... There are even some favorite cookbooks in one of the cabinets. And the view from the hot tub (looking straight up) is downright mesmerizing! I could stay there all day and into the night!
"Lovely Home with All of the Amenities"
My husband and I rented Bonne Chere for five nights and really enjoyed the quality of the home. I wouldn't recommend it for children because there are some beautiful glass decorations and only one bathroom which is in the master bedroom, but for a couple, it is wonderful.The only reason I'm giving this review 4 stars versus 5 is because the property isn't as secluded as we had expected from the pictures. The houses on either side are very close to Bonne Chere and the first evening we arrived, a neighbor two doors down was playing rap music so loudly from his white truck that we had to leave the deck and go inside so we could hear each other speak. However, the house is beautiful and we loved riding our bikes to Armstrong Woods State Park each day. Jen and Scott have done a great job at creating a home that has every amenity you can imagine and is incredibly comfortable.
Hello and thanks for sharing a review!
We think the owners have done a great job with Bonne Chere as well! I'm sorry to hear about the noisy neighbor during your stay. Guests are always welcome to call the office if there's an issue and we'll do whatever we can, but it is still a residential neighborhood. So far, families and folks with dogs have loved staying at Bonne Chere too... There's room to run outside in the yard and a playground and tennis courts a few minute's walk from the house. And the river is just a few minutes beyond the playground.
I hope we'll see you again!
My wife, baby girl and I recently had the pleasure of staying at Bonne Chere for the weekend. We had a great time and what a pleasure working in such a well-stocked kitchen. Everything you need and more! There are lots of great spaces that are tucked away for taking sun, reading, napping or chatting. Be sure to make use of the hot tub. This house is child and baby friendly, and theres even a playground close enough to walk.
Thank you for reviewing Bonne Chre. I am glad you mentioned the kitchen. I agree with you; it is very well stocked. Please come back and stay with us again sometime.
"Kids + hot tub = perfect"
The house was spotless and all laid out. The kitchen had everything we could have wanted.We were a bit worried that some businesses would be closed after labor day but we found everything we wanted open. September is a great time to go - no crowds and the weather is still great.Easy walk to the river or a short drive to the ocean or Armstrong Woods with ancient redwoods.The hot tub is the perfect way to end a long day with the kids.
Perfect place for a long weekend. The house is beautiful and fully equipped with a modern kitchen, large decks, BBQ grill and a hot tub. The neighborhood was quiet but close enough to downtown Guerneville. Something to note is that there is only one bathroom and it's located in the master bedroom. Not bad if you're staying with close friends/family and are comfortable sharing. Second bedroom is more of an alcove off of the living room and does not have real doors to separate.
We had a great time at this lovely home! The Kitchen was great and the beds super comfortable. Perfect for my husband and I and our 5 year old. We hiked the redwoods and went wine tasting while our daughter went to Farm camp at the Waldorf school. Something for all of us and nice family time hanging out at the house. We used the hot tub every day! Perfect getaway for our needs.
What a great experience for your family! Thank you for spending it with us at Bonne Chre and sharing with other folks - I hope we'll see you next summer too!
"Ultimate relaxation in a quaint area of the Russian River"
What's there not to say about Bonne Chere? We had an amazing weekend and enjoyed every part of the house. The bbq, the hot tub, the kitchen and the comfortable living space was on point and exactly what we wanted for our weekend get-away. This home is perfectly nestled in the trees, private, yet close enough to town and other local amenities.Great house, great price and overall a great experience. We can't wait to plan our next visit via Russian River Vacation Homes.
"Ended on low note due to cleanup rules"
It is a nice enough place but we did not expect to have to clean up after ourselves to this extent. Unload the dishwasher ??? Pull used sheets from the bed ??? And pay through the nose for cleaning charges ??? Did not add up. Too bad that is what we fretted over and the end of our otherwise pleasant stay. Nice neighborhood. Good hot tub. Small bathroom.
My wife and kids stayed at the Bonne Chere for 4 nights in early april. We found the house to be perfect for our needs. Full kitchen, hot tub and nearby stores may the visit very relaxing. If we are back in Guernville, we will certainly be staying here.
"Beautiful setting for a relaxing weekend"
I had a great weekend with a couple of good friends at Bonne Chere. After an afternoon of wine tasting, we came back to the cabin and made a wonderful dinner in the full service kitchen. We woke up and enjoyed a relaxing slow start to the morning on the comfortable, large porch. We ate brunch at a nearby restaurant within walking distance. I only wish I had remembered my bathing suit so I could have jumped in the hot tub.
Had a fabulous weekend at this rental property. Had been to the Russian river before, but only as quick visits. Was a great decision to decide to stay for a few days and explore with the family. This house was the perfect base. Loved the wooded valley it is located in (went walking every morning) and the ease of access to the beach (both riverfront and ocean). We were able to prepare quite the gourmet meal in the full kitchen with all the amenities - which was then consumed on the spacious deck (where we spent much of the weekend). And relaxing the secluded hot tub was the perfect ending to the evening. We will definitely return when we are looking for a get-a-way.
What a fun weekend! The house was clean, comfortable, and luxurious. The hot tub sure hit the spot after diving and the neighborhood redwoods are beautiful. So nice to wake up to the sounds of nature. It's also located near stores and restaurants. We will definitely be back!
Bonne Chere is a true gem! My family felt completely at home from the moment we entered. The skylighted living room was a welcoming place to hang out and the modern, clean kitchen was a dream to use. Our stay was in early spring, so we had the pleasure of dining among the tree blossoms in the dining room and on the outdoor deck. Before meals we enjoyed walking the quiet neighborhood and seeing neighbors jogging and dog walking. A soak in the hot tub was the perfect way to end an evening in this peaceful and attractive home. We all awoke refreshed, rested, and ready to spend the day at the nearby coast. We will definitely stay again at Bonne Chere and next time hope to explore nearby downtown Guerneville to sample the local restaurants. A perfect home-away-from-home weekend getaway destination.

\section{\label{Intro}Introduction}

Complex dynamical behaviour that emerges from simple rules of a small number of actors is still a non-trivial phenomenon despite it being the subject of non-linear dynamical systems theory for decades.
Complex but structured behaviour can emerge from deterministic non-linear dynamics of a single trajectory forming, for example, a strange attractor over time \cite{lorenz63,sprott14} or from spatially evolving patterns such as Laplacian growth  \cite{paterson81,barra_davidovitch01,hentschel_levermann02}  or it can emerge from unstructured stochasticity such as, for example, in the time evolution of single random walkers in diffusion-limited aggregation \cite{witten_sanders81,hastings_levitov98,davidovitch_jensen01} or simultaneously evolving fracture dynamics \cite{lemaire_levitz91,zhao_maher93,levermann_procaccia02} or self-organized criticality \cite{bak_tang87,tang_bak88,peters_hertlein02,scheinkman_woodford94}. There are many qualitatively different ways in which complexity can arise from simple rules.

Here we present a deterministic motion in $D$-dimensional space which shows highly complex behaviour through avoiding its own past and being confined to a finite space. The complexity arises from an ever expanding dynamics that is confined to finite space. The main difference to traditional dynamical systems is that it is non-local in time. We present two mathematical representations: one through a time-dependent potential landscape and the other through an integro-differential equation. Geometrically the systems exhibits the trajectory folding that is found in strange attractors and is thereby a relatively simple and pure prototype of the dynamical folding principle. Note however that the trajectory can cross itself because it tracks its history and thereby the state space is not a phase space.

As a motivation for the model we suggest the path of society in search for cultural innovation. It can also be considered a paradigmatic system for infinite economical growth on a finite planet with finite resources. The equations themselves resemble those of a relativistic description of a charged particle via the Liénard-Wiechert potential \cite{lienard1898,wiechert1901}, in which the electron is repelled by its own trajectory. But these are merely illustrations of possible applications. The main result is the complexity that arises from a spatial confinement of infinite growth.

In order to capture, for example, the path of society in an abstract creativity space we consider its trajectory ${\bf r} \in \mathbb{R}^D$ changing position along the negative gradient of a landscape $L$.
\begin{equation}
\frac{d{\bf r}}{dt} = - {\bf \nabla} L \left({\bf r} \right)
\label{equ_drdt}.
\end{equation}
The landscape $L$ is defined everywhere within a certain bounded domain $\cal B$ as the sum
\begin{equation}
L\left({\bf x}, t\right) = L_b\left({\bf x}\right) +  L_h\left({\bf x}, t\right)
\label{equ_L}.
\end{equation}
 of a {\it boundary potential}, $L_b$, and a {\it history potential}, $L_h$, with ${\bf x} \in {\cal B} \subset \mathbb{R}^D$. Here we choose the bounded domain to be the unit sphere in $D$ dimensions. The time-independent boundary potential, $L_b$, is thus defined as
\begin{equation}
L_b \left({\bf x}\right) = \left( 1 - \left| {\bf x} \right| \right)^{-1}
\label{equ_Lb}.
\end{equation}
with $|{\bf x}| \equiv \sqrt{\sum_{j=1}^D x_j^2}$ the absolute value.
The history potential, $L_h$, is defined through an ordinary differential equation via
\begin{equation}
\frac{dL_h}{dt}\left({\bf x}\right) = \left( 1 + \frac{\left| {\bf r}(t) - {\bf x} \right|}{\rho} \right)^{-1}- \frac{L_h}{\tau}
\label{equ_Lh}.
\end{equation}
with positive constants $\rho>0$ and $\tau > 0$. These two parameters have a clear interpretation. While $\tau$ controls the memory of society with respect to its history, $\rho$ defines the space in creativity space that is taken by the current generation. The assumption that these are constant is made for simplicity.
\begin{figure}
    \centering
    \includegraphics[width=.5\textwidth]{Fig1_AF_Attractor.pdf}
    \caption{Generic trajectory of the dynamics (panel a)  in $D=2$ with parameters $\rho = 0.1$ and $\tau = 50$ and (panel b) in $D=3$ dimensions with $\rho = 0.1$ and $\tau = 100$. Shown is the initial time evolution up to $T=200$ for initial con}
    \label{fig_attractor}
\end{figure}
The kernel of the history potential (fig.~S1 in the supplementary material)
\begin{equation}
K\left({\bf r}(t),{\bf x}\right) = \left( 1 + \frac{\left| {\bf r}(t) - {\bf x} \right|}{\rho} \right)^{-1} = \frac{\rho}{\rho + \left| {\bf r}(t) - {\bf x} \right|}
\nonumber
\end{equation}
is one at the current position of the trajectory $K\left({\bf r}(t),{\bf x}={\bf r}(t)\right) = 1 $, and declines (quasi-hyperbolically) to $K = 0.5 $ at a distance $\rho$ from the current trajectory position ${\bf r}(t)$. Thus according to equation~(\ref{equ_Lh}) the trajectory generates an exponentially decaying tail along its path.
Thus fittingly, the set of equations can be rewritten as an integro-differential equation (see appendix\ref{app_intdiff_equ}).

If we start with a generic history landscape that is equal to zero everywhere $L_h({\bf x},t=0) = 0; \forall \; {\bf x} \in \mathbb{R}^D$, then the trajectory ${\bf r}(t)$ is fully determined by its initial position ${\bf r}(t=0) = {\bf r_0}$ which, in principle, is an additional free parameter, but the statistics of the emerging attractor does not seem to be dependent on this initial condition. A coefficient that weighs the two contributions from $L_b$ and $L_h$ can be incorporated into the choice of the radius of the sphere of the boundary potential. Here we chose the unit circle and an equal weighting of the two potentials for illustrative purposes.

Starting from any initial condition the resulting trajectories are complex and form a ball in their respective creativity space (fig. \ref{fig_attractor} and animation in supplementary information). Without proof we hypothesis that the statistics of the emerging trajectory is independent of the initial condition. There might be a specific set of initial conditions that yield regular behaviour, but placing the initial condition in the origin does yield the same complex behaviour that cannot be easily distinguished from that of fig.\ref{fig_attractor}. The trajectory exhibits strong sensitivity to the initial condition (Fig. S2), but the long-term trajectory density does not. It only depends on the two parameters, i.e. the systems memory $\tau$ and the space occupied by the current generation $\rho$.

Due to the exponential decay of the memory the long-term average of the history potential is likely to reach a steady state given by
\begin{equation}
\left<L_h\right> (r) =\frac{\tau \rho}{2 \pi} \int_0^1  \int_0^{2\pi} \frac{p(r^\prime) {r^\prime}^{D-1} dr^\prime d\theta}{\rho + \sqrt{ r^2 + {r^\prime}^2 - 2 r r^\prime \cos(\theta) }}
\end{equation}
where $p(r)$ is the long-term trajectory density which is given by an implicit equation
\begin{equation} \label{pot_equ}
 \frac{\tau \rho}{2 \pi} \int_0^1  \int_0^{2\pi} \frac{\partial}{\partial r} \frac{p(r^\prime) {r^\prime}^{D-1} dr^\prime d\theta}{\rho + \sqrt{ r^2 + {r^\prime}^2 - 2 r r^\prime \cos(\theta) }} =  \frac{1}{ (1 - r)^2 }.
\end{equation}
as derived in the appendix.

When considered in higher dimensions $D$, the dynamics retracts onto a thin shell around a hypersphere of a constant radius and some trajectory density near the origin (fig.~\ref{fig_density}). Fig.~\ref{fig_proj} shows the trajectory points that pass through a two-dimensional plane ${\cal P} = \{ x \in {\cal R}^D | x_1 = x_2 = 0\}$. This retraction towards the vicinity of a hypersurface does, however, not reflect a regularization of the dynamics. Also in higher dimensions the dynamics remains irregular while being fully deterministic. As an example fig.~\ref{fig_time} shows the time series of the five components of the Cartesian coordinates of the dynamics in $D=5$ dimensions after an arbitrarily chosen time of $t=1800$.

The deterministic system exhibits complex behaviour and even though the long-term radial trajectory distribution can be computed through a relatively simple equation~(\ref{pot_equ}), this does not capture the complexity of the time evolution. We hypothesize that the trajectory lies densely within the spherical shell it inhabits and is thereby ergodic. The simple set of equations~(\ref{equ_drdt}-\ref{equ_Lh}) constitutes a paradigmatic dynamics of past avoidance in finite space and a deterministic complexity dynamics that is qualitatively distinct from common deterministic chaos.

\section{\label{potentials}Boundary and history potentials}
The boundary potential diverges when approaching the unit circle (Fig~\ref{fig_potential}a). The history potential is generated through a kernel
\begin{equation}
K\left({\bf r}(t),{\bf x}\right) = \left( 1 + \frac{\left| {\bf r}(t) - {\bf x} \right|}{\rho} \right)^{-1} = \frac{\rho}{\rho + \left| {\bf r}(t) - {\bf x} \right|}
\label{equ_Lh}.
\end{equation}
At the current position of the trajectory the kernel is one, $K\left({\bf r}(t),{\bf x}={\bf r}(t)\right) = 1 $, and at a distance of $\rho$ from the trajectory position ${\bf r}(t)$ it is $K = 0.5 $. Thus according to equation~(\ref{equ_Lh}) the trajectory generates a tail along its path  (Fig~\ref{fig_potential}b).

\end{figure}

\section{\label{sensitivity}Sensitivity to initial conditions}
The dynamics is deterministic but sensitive to changes in initial conditions (Fig~\ref{fig_init}).

For the initial time period up to $T=20$ (panel a) and up to $T=100$ (panel b). The trajectories stay close to each other with some temporary deviations for some time, until the confinement forces them to fold back into the interior where the small differences yield stronger and stronger deviations between the two temporal evolutions.}

Anthony Strong, 46, will have to serve the entire sentence — no probation, parole or suspension of sentence.
Strong was convicted by a Rapides Parish jury of first-degree robbery two years after he robbed a man in Pineville in May 2017, according to Rapides Parish Clerk of Court records.
The trial was held after a mistrial was declared in December 2018 on the same charge.
More: Rapides armed robbery trial rescheduled after 3rd Circuit decision
The 3rd Circuit Court of Appeal had ruled in Strong's favor after his case had been moved from one 9th Judicial District Court division to another, saying that the district court hadn't followed its own rules in making the switch after Judge Chris Hazel was sworn in.
Rapides Parish Assistant District Attorney Cheryl Carter had filed a habitual offender bill before Strong was sentenced by Hazel on June 5.
After testimony Tuesday, Hazel ruled that Strong is a fourth-plus felony offender and designated it as a crime of violence. Strong has an extensive record in Rapides Parish stretching back to the early 1990s, according to court records.
He was given credit for already serving one year and two months, according to court records. He requested an eventual move to the Louisiana State Penitentiary.

Gifts Prevent Mother-to-Child HIV Transmission
In Nigeria, people are afraid of HIV and of each other. The stigma attached to HIV infection discourages people from being tested and makes it very difficult for partners to disclose their status others. This creates a dangerous situation for pregnant women and their unborn children because the stigma around HIV prevents them from accessing HIV prevention and treatment services.
The Rural Health Project in northeast Nigeria is making a difference in increasing access to care. Through a grant from the United Methodist Global AIDS Fund (UMGAF), attendance at prenatal care has increased 80 percent. Through fixed and mobile clinics, which are open to all pregnant women, many are being tested for HIV and learning about prevention. The grant to the Rural Health Project was made possible by donations to UMGAF through The Advance.
The project leader described a consultation:
One of our clients was counseled and tested positive. She phoned her husband from the counseling room and told him the result. He was shocked, spoke with the counselor, and promised to come the next day. He did. He also tested HIV positive; they were counseled as HIV concordant partners, and referred for treatment. They said, "We would still have been in darkness if our pastor had not announced that there would be an outreach offering PNC [prenatal care] services. We wouldn't have found out our status because clinics around us don't offer HIV counseling and testing."

The Rural Health Project has trained 45 religious and community leaders in HIV education and advocacy, who have also pledged their ongoing support of the Prevention of Mother-to-Child Transmission (PMTCT) program. In one area, a group of women have begun to visit the homes of ill villagers who are commonly believed to have been bewitched. They help families see their need for HIV testing, and strongly encourage them to take action.
In addition, six nursing staff and 12 traditional birth attendants were trained to work in PMTCT outreach. As a result, 2,700 pregnant women received HIV counseling and testing in the first six months of the project. Those who tested HIV-positive were referred to the closest hospital for treatment and follow-up care.
According to UNICEF, 260,000 children were newly infected with HIV worldwide in 2012. This equals about 713 children a day. But, women with HIV, who take antiretroviral (ARV) medication during pregnancy, can reduce the risk of transmitting the virus to their babies to less than 1 percent. The transmission rate of HIV from a positive mother to her child during pregnancy, labor, delivery or breastfeeding, without intervention, ranges from 15–45 percent.
Since this particular initiative began in 2014, UMGAF has funded 17 projects in 13 countries reaching more than 66,000 beneficiaries. Contributions to UMGAF support many similar ventures, in addition to AIDS initiatives in the United States through the respective annual conferences of The United Methodist Church.

The Advance is the accountable, designated-giving arm of The United Methodist Church. The Advance invites contributors to designate support for projects related to the General Board of Global Ministries. Individuals, local churches, organizations, districts and annual conferences may donate to The Advance. One hundred percent of every gift to The Advance goes to the project selected by the giver.


This article appeared in The Conversation of 2 March 2017, written by NMMU academic, Savo Heleta.
In South Africa tens of thousands of students leave universities each year without completing their degrees. They are largely being pushed out of the system due to funding issues and a lack of academic support.
Funding is a national problem. But what about the lack of comprehensive academic support for students who really need it? The fault here lies squarely with universities.
Universities blame the country's disastrous public schooling system for the fact that many students enter higher education unprepared.
Public schooling is definitely a massive problem. Research suggests that of one million children who enter Grade 1 in South Africa each year, half do not go on to complete secondary school. Only 100,000 get to university and only 53,000 graduate from university after six years in the tertiary system.
We must stop expecting first-year students - many of whom come from public schools and whose first language isn't English - to somehow figure out how to cope with the rigorous demands of any university degree without genuine, committed support.
There are some programmes in place to ease the transition. But many students at my own institution have confided in me that these programmes are often inadequate. Most classes to improve second language speakers' grasp of English are optional, as are workshops on academic preparedness. Some students attend them; others struggle to find time due to packed class schedules.
My institution has a writing centre to support students with essay and assignment writing. The problem is that it's understaffed and students often have to wait weeks for an appointment.
But there's a fascinating and troubling contradiction at play: this very same institution offers comprehensive and compulsory programmes to help students who don't speak English as a first language – as long as they're international students from outside South Africa. And these programmes work very well, helping students cope with university demands and go on to graduate.
These programmes must be adapted, broadened and rolled out to ensure that South African students who are struggling with English and the demands of university education don't get left behind.
I'm speaking from experience. Fifteen years ago I barely spoke any English but managed to earn a scholarship to a university in the United States. The support I received there made a world of difference. Similar support can change South African students' university experience – and their lives, too.
In 2002 I received a scholarship to study at the College of St Benedict and St John's University in Minnesota. I'm from Bosnia and Herzegovina, and English isn't my first language. I learned a bit of English in primary school. Then the war interrupted my primary school education for two years. After the war, the education system was dysfunctional.
When I got to the US in 2002 I could hardly speak, read or write English.
I spent two months in a school for students learning English as a second language, then headed to university. This helped a bit but I needed so much more.
The first year at university was hell, academically speaking. I struggled to understand what was going on around me. I could hardly express myself or write my assignments. Often, I doubted myself and my choice to accept the scholarship. I doubted my own intelligence.
Over the years in South Africa, I have heard many accounts of similar struggles experienced by South African students whose first language isn't English. They all speak about the inability to engage in English, to cope, follow lectures. They, too, often think that they are not good enough to be at the university.
The best thing about my first year was the English language class I attended with other international students. Our professor taught us to read, write, speak and present in English. There were three classes a week, but she supported us way beyond those set times.
Without her, I probably would have quit my studies. Instead, my marks improved dramatically and my confidence grew. In 2005 I was persuaded by my American friends to write a book about my wartime experiences. I wrote it in English. It was published in 2008.
I've been in South Africa since 2007, obtaining a Masters and PhD. Today I write, do research, publish, lecture, present at national and international conferences. All in English.
I didn't accomplish any of this because I was special. The support I received at the start of my university education made all the difference.
In South Africa, the lack of comprehensive academic support for all who need it is excused by the lack of capacity and the price tag. But surely investing in programmes that bolster student success makes sense? After all, universities receive government funding partly based on their graduate numbers. And more graduates can boost the economy.
In 2013, the Council on Higher Education proposed that university studies and "qualifications should accord with the learning needs of the majority of the student intake". This, the council argued, would entail extending undergraduate programmes by a year. The first year would become foundational, with students spending a considerable amount of time on compulsory academic preparedness and development.
has allowed higher education to deflect accountability. It's time that we fully embrace the burden of being student-ready institutions … It turns out the problem was not as much about the students as we thought. It was largely us, uninformed about what it takes to help them succeed or unwilling to allocate the resources necessary to put it into practice.
Universities must ditch the excuses and do more. Extensive academic support changes lives. It's time we got to work.

NTR's Energy Shocks Bigg Boss Team
Published on Jul 16, 2017 8:19 pm IST
NTR has turned a TV host for the first time in his career for Bigg Boss, the reality show which will be aired on July 16 on Star Maa. While the shoot began recently in Lonavala, the names of the contestants are going to be announced in the first episode.
Interestingly, some fascinating details are emerging from sources close to NTR and it looks like the star has stunned everyone with his energy and dedication. Although he is one of the biggest stars in the industry today, NTR's enthusiasm while hosting the show came as a big surprise to the whole team.
Not just that, apparently, the star shot for nearly 8 hours at a stretch without a break and he didn't even eat either in the middle of the shoot. With reports flowing in that NTR is going to shake a leg in the inaugural episode, it surely promises to be a terrific opening for the TV show.

Cast of Supernatural heads to 2011 Comic-Con
The majority of the primary cast from the CW hit show "Supernatural" went down to the 2011 San Diego Comic-Con this weekend.
In total, Jensen Ackles, Jared Padalecki, Jim Beaver & God himself, Misha Collins went to the event that has become a major promotion tool for TV & movies alike.
Going to SDCC
We first saw Misha. This was upsetting for me, because it was only upon his arrival that I realized....I had nothing for him to sign. I had 2 instances like this that weekend, this would be the first. I still took a few pics of him & asked him filming was going & if he knew how many episodes he would be around for this year. He kept pretty tight lipped about the latter question, but said things have gone well so far for this season.
At about the same time as Colling arrival, Jim Beaver also arrived. He stopped to sign for the few of us who had stuff for him, and really, I didnt get much of a chance to chat with him as this was prime time for people arriving, and actors for other shows were still coming in as well. I told him to have a good trip & have fun. Unsure if he heard me or not, hopefully he did.
Not too long later, Jensen Ackles showed up. Myself & 1 of the other hounds who got him only 2 wks ago decided to give him a pass for autographs, but that didnt stop a couple of the others from asking him. Had a few words with him about filming this season, said its gone well. Asked him if we'll see Death much this season, he had a bit of a grin, but no verbal reaction to it outside of "I dont know". Then he was on his way.
The last person we got on Saturday was the SPN fanbases favorite love/hate couple. Genevieve & Jared Padalecki arrived, just literally minutes before the cut off time for their flight....but that didnt stop the demon & demon killer from stopping to sign for us & chat some. Gen was incredibly pleasant, and yeah, I know how some of you fans pick on her because of your personal views on her husband and his life. My opinion on it, grow up. I've read your theories, and IMO I think its pretty far fetched. Not impossible, but verrrry far fetched. Shes a pleasant & friendly girl who doesnt seem like the type of person who would try to take advantage of any situation for PR or $, so really, stop assuming such a thing till 1 of your batshit nuts friends comes up with some real verifiable proof of your idiotic claims. As for Jared, he was his usually friendly self. even called Gen back when he realized the other hound had a photo that she was on. She of course has started signing "Genevieve Padalecki" which the hound, who had got her back when she signed Cortese, said "oh youve changed the signature" which she replied with the fairly obvious "well I'm married now". Jared was signing for me when I asked him about getting held up in customs for his return to Vancouver a couple weeks prior, which he said "yeah, I have been hauled in 3 times already.". I asked him what he did to piss them off & he said it was a visa issue. he then politely said they had to go (which they really did...like I said, showing up literally last min) & the couple hurried off to their gate.
Returning from SDCC - I never saw anyone. I missed Misha by literally seconds, which better result in the firing of a specific Burger King employee, since the incompetent dullard cost me anywhere from 45-75 seconds of time, and I missed Misha by less than 30 seconds. Jim stayed down there an extra day, as for J2, as far as I know, no one has any idea when they returned.
A Little Teaser Blog for my SDCC blogs later this week - pics of who we saw Friday and Saturday
This weekend a variety of shows & movies had panels at the San Diego Comic Con. That included ventures from Vancouver. Mostly our TV shows.
I will have more detailed blogs later this week, which will include any interesting comments they had to say on any topics of discussion.
Although I did miss several mmembers of Once Upon A Time (ABC) & Sanctuary, I did manage to nab a few of the other stars on their way out.
Saw Fringe (FOX) stars John Noble (didnt get any pics of sadly), Jasika Nicole & Anna Torv as they went on their way out of town.
From The Secret Circle (The CW) we saw Thomas Dekker, Brittany Robertson, Phoebe Tonkin, Natasha Henstridge & Adam Harrington
From Supernatural (CW) we saw Jim Beaver (didnt get any photos), Misha Collins, Jensen Ackles, and Genevieve & Jared Padalecki.
We did manage to snag 1 Once Upon A Time star, as Lana Parrilla made her way thru.
Only non-TV star we nabbed on her way down to SDCC was Grindhouse & Scream star Rose McGowan.
Check back after Monday for more detailed blogs on who we saw, with evne more photos.

ATV-2 ferry ship: a successful launch with full load of supplies inside its Thales Alenia Space-built cargo module
Cannes, February 17, 2011 -- European Space Agency's second Automated Transfer Vehicle (ATV-2) has been launched yesterday evening by Arianespace from Europe's spaceport in Kourou, French Guiana. Christened Johannes Kepler, in honour of the German astronomer and mathematician, the second ATV flight model will rendezvous and dock with the orbiting International Space Station in fully automatic mode after eight days of autonomous flight. The Johannes Kepler ATV will deliver experiments, equipment, spare parts and propellant as well as food and oxygen for the astronauts currently onboard the ISS.
Thales Alenia Space plays a significant role in the development and production of this highly sophisticated vehicle. On behalf of Astrium Space Transportation, the ATV prime contractor, Thales Alenia Space is responsible for the design and manufacturing of the ATV's Integrated Cargo Carrier (ICC), passive thermal control system, electrical power unit, Telemetry Tracking and Control (TTC) communication equipment and support to system tests . Thales Alenia Space also took part in the integration and testing of the whole space vehicle and in the launch campaign in Kourou.
The ICC, built by Thales Alenia Space in Turin, Italy, comprises a 4.6-meter diameter and 4-meter long pressurized cylindrical module that weighs 4 tons. It incorporates an integrated docking system to the ISS at one end, and the propellant refuelling system at the other. These two components - derived from systems already operational on the Russian Progress and Soyuz vehicles - were provided by Russian company RSC-Energia.
"Once again Thales Alenia Space is a key partner in a space mission of great technical complexity and strategic importance. The Johannes Kepler ATV is the second in a series of five flight models currently in production at our Turin facilities. Three more units will be delivered through the year 2013," stated Luigi Pasquali, President and CEO of Thales Alenia Space Italia. "We have been working on the ATV program since the year 2000, heading a team of eight European, U.S. and Russian subcontractors. Several improvements are currently in an advanced stage of investigation with the aim to enhance the design in order to increase the transportation capacity for pressurized cargo, as well as the flexibility of use. Some of these upgrades are planned to be also implemented as retrofit kit on the third flight unit, Edoardo Amaldi, which was delivered to Astrium at the end of 2010."
While docked to the Space Station, the ATV will be a lot more than a "container" for ferrying equipment and goods necessary to the life of the astronauts. It will become a temporary module of the orbital outpost. It will also have the fundamental task of providing propulsion for the orbiting structure. The Johannes Kepler ATV propulsion system will be used to maintain the Station's orbit several times during its mission. The Johannes Kepler ATV will remain on orbit for three months, prior to de-docking from the ISS and a destructive re-entry into the atmosphere.
With five ICCs, three Multi Purpose Logistics Modules (MPLMs) - one of which has been turned into a Permanent Logistics Module (PMM) - the pressurized module for ESA's Columbus laboratory, the Harmony and Tranquility node modules, the Cupola, and nine pressurized cargo modules for the U.S. Cygnus resupply ships, Thales Alenia Space is the leading provider for pressurized space in the ISS, on behalf of ESA, NASA, the Italian Space Agency (ASI), as well as European and U.S. industry.
About Thales Alenia Space
European leader in satellite systems and a major player in orbital infrastructures, Thales Alenia Space is a joint venture between Thales (67%) and Finmeccanica (33%). Thales Alenia Space and Telespazio embody the two groups' "Space Alliance". Thales Alenia Space sets the global standard in solutions for space telecoms, radar and optical Earth observation, defense and security, navigation and science. The company, which achieved revenues of Euro 2 billion in 2009, has a total of 7,200 employees located in 9 industrial sites in France, Italy, Spain and Belgium.

U.S. Warns that Russia is using "More Aggressive" Strategies Against Ukraine
ArticlesEmergencyFeaturedPolitics
President Vladimir Putin of Russia has deployed almost 75% of his assembled military power into Ukraine, a senior U.S. defense official revealed on Monday, as "heavy fighting" still continues in different areas of the former Soviet country.
According to the official, Russia has failed to make much progress towards Ukraine's capital, Kyiv, in the past day, managing to move only around three miles since Sunday. The Russian troops are said to still be 15 miles away from the Ukrainian capital. Additionally, Russia still has yet to establish its air superiority over the entirety of Ukraine.
"Certainly they have been slowed and they have been frustrated by their lack of progress on Kyiv," the official stated, adding that this could lead to a "reevaluation of their tactics and the potential for them to be more aggressive of their targeting of Kyiv."
The official was also asked about the possibility of Russia utilizing air or missile strikes. To this, the official said, "it's impossible to speculate as to how they may or may not change their plans going forward."
However, the U.S. still believes that what Russia intends to do is to encircle Kyiv in the next few days and that the Ukrainian capital city continues to be their "main line of effort," although "they are not there yet." If they manage to approach the city, the official mentioned that Russia might use siege tactics.
Apart from taking over Kyiv, Russia also intends to invade the city of Kharkiv. Currently, there is still "heavy fighting" going on in the said city. They also allegedly intend to invade Mariupol, so that they can "section off" the eastern part of Ukraine, according to the official.
However, the official also had positive observations about the troops fighting on the Ukrainian side. He noted that "the Ukrainians are putting up continued and sustained and stiff resistance in and around Kyiv" with no signs of relenting, and have been "very creative" with their strategies.
"They're using pretty much everything that they have in their arsenal from small arms all the way up to surface-to-air missiles," the official mentioned.
Even though Kremlin has already deployed almost three-quarters of their assembled military power, there are no signs that they will deploy reinforcements at the moment. According to the official, the U.S. has not observed any sign that Russia will bring additional troops. The official also mentioned that there is "no indication that Belarusian troops are being readied to move in Ukraine," despite reports that said it could happen.
Additionally, the official stated that the U.S. has not seen any specific actions from Russia following Putin's announcement of raising his deterrent forces status to "special combat readiness."

Military scam - Davina Davies +19253886434
Topic description
If you have been scammed, please post here and share your experience; it may help others avoid the same situation!
#429992 by pantuslife Thu Dec 30, 2021 4:49 pm
I know her as Davina Davies. I met her on song pop (davinadavies). She told me she's from Maryland (song pop shows her location as zz, us) and she's a military personnel: "My MOS is 15P. I'm an Aviation Operation Specialist". Her telephone number: +19253886434. Telegram user: @Davina_Davies.
Suddenly she got "in love" trying to force reciprocity: "Let me tell you more about me, I am a wonderful, single woman with a heart of gold. I'm kind, respectful, well-spoken, honest, loving, caring, beautiful at heart and I am extremely passionate and affectionate. I work hard, and long for someone to come home to who is a real woman and enjoys intimacy. I seem to like everything about you and permit me to say, i would like to share these best times with you. I am very relationship oriented and I believe life is too short to waste. When I am in a relationship I am committed, honest, and loyal. I think that falling in love is always a good thing, even if it doesn't work out. There is always something to learn from being with someone, and happy times and memories should be cherished.
My desire, my feelings are growing stronger and stronger every day. I feel like i relate to you on a much higher level than I have ever felt before. We have the same interests and the same likes. I think that if we take our time and do everything right, this could blossom into a fairy tale romance, lol. It's amazing that we've grown so close in such a short amount of time. The closeness blossomed rapidly and I don't want to lose that.
I want someone to hold, confide in, laugh with, cry with; someone I can watch football with, fish with, walk along the beach at night with. I want it. I deserve it, as do you. I feel a connection with you and i sincerely hope that you feel the same as I do about you."
To be honest I never trust her, that's why I used telegram, it's a great social network to keep your privacy if you want to do it. Reading on internet I realized she's a Nigerian man. Something that always disturbed me was her insistence on being a wait woman (jennyboo is obviously a pretty Latin American woman, but she's not white, only a black African man could think she's white).
Then she sent me this:
It wasn't easy at all during the mission During the mission, we infiltrated the enemy camp and our drones discovered a small community. This community was were the terrorist were hiding. We succeeded in fighting off the rebels and protecting the life and property of the people of that community. After we fought off the terrorist and saved the village we discovered a huge amount of money and some gold in the terrorist camp.After we had the place sealed we found a whole lot of Golds, Guns and good amount of money kept by these terrorist, this money was secretly secured in the war zone by them. Honey, on going back to the camp my commander thought about somethings and the sacrifices we've made for the military and decided we share everything we found in that place, we agreed to it and it won't be an issue. We shared everything and I was given $400,000 and some Gold bag worth good amounts but this place isn't safe at all to keep it because of the high rate of monitoring here in camp. So, I want to send my share to you to keep it safe with my documents before i return to you. Please I want this safe with you and I'm trusting you to take good care of it until i'm back. You're the only one i trust to do this for me. Keeping it here isn't safe at all. So many persons are here and it's hard trusting anyone here, so baby, I would need this information from you so I give it to the Red Cross courier service that will deliver it directly to your door step and i would handle the payments from here so you won't have to worry about that. I would need this info below honey.
(Yeah during the mission twice )
I knew it was a scamm but I wasn't sure how does it work, so I gave to her a fake name and address, that let me understood how do they work:
Babe I've sent the package and I was given an email address to give to you.
Send an email to the email address to request for a tracking code to track the package
This is the tracking packaging scam. As I didn't want a Nigerian scammer gang angry, I've told "her" I'll receive her package but I won't track it, it's her package, her responsibility, and it was her answer:
Babe, you're sounding like you're being forced to do this for me. Like it isn't from your heart. It's our package. The package is for both of us. I told you I wanted to also help you in your career because I care a lot about you and I can't help it. It's for us.
I insisted it wasn't necessary to track the package: I would receive it but I wouldn't follow it. I've told her that if she wanted it to be tracked, she could do it.
She began to press and I said to myself "if she is going to invent stories I'm gonna do the same". I told her I had a violent ex-boyfriend hacker sniffing my data, that tracking her package I could give him information, and she could lose her "treasure". She said she would get him arrested, but I must to click on the link :'D
In the end, as she didn't stop insisting, I told her I was at the hospital with COVID, that they would not let me have any mobile device and that if I died, I would always carry her in my heart.
Beware, never track any package you don't trust!!
Never believe in someone that suddenly loves you from the bottom of her heart when she doesn't know you, and DON'T SHARE PERSONAL INFORMATION (telegram is great to solve this).
It's really sad, authorities do nothing if you weren't successfully scam, so, beware.

Border forces of India, Bangladesh must plant trees
By Sarkaritel November 17, 2021 07:16
Need to protect Indian interests in new ITA pact: NASSCOM
Indian media also needs to go global: PM Modi 0 08.Sep
ISRO to assist development projects in NE through space technology 0 09.Jun
Silchar (Assam), Nov 17 (IANS) Padma Shri awardee Jadav Payeng, who is also known as the 'Forest Man of India', on Tuesday suggested that the border guarding forces of India and Bangladesh must plant trees on either side of the border.
Payeng, who earlier signed an agreement with an NGO to collaborate on environmental projects in Mexico to guide the planting of seven million trees in the North American country, said that if the earth does not survive, how would one protect his country. "Adopting an inclusive planning of plantation drive, para-military forces of both India and Bangladesh can plant thousands of trees on their sides of the border," Payeng said while addressing in the opening day of the three-day 6th edition of the "Northeast Green Summit".
Payeng, 63, had created a record earlier by planting 40 million trees in 30 years and creating a man-made forest and completely changed the barren sandbar of the Brahmaputra covering an area of 550 hectares of land in eastern Assam's Jorhat district.
He told the summit: "A top rank BSF (Border Security Force) officer once came to see my jungle. I requested him to do something for the earth. We will live if the earth remains alive. I told him if the earth does not survive, how will he save his country? You have a lot of responsibility and duty towards the earth."
Payeng also advised connecting plantations to children's education. "When a child takes admission in a school, the kid should plant a tree and if the students continue to plant trees, will ensure enough plantation every year and make the children environment-conscious too. In other words, the kid will be responsible for generating the oxygen he or she consumes," he pointed out.
Speaking on the occasion, Lok Sabha member from Silchar, Rajdeep Roy said that the mother earth is the home of the people and there should be a sustainable ecosystem for the future generation.
IIT Guwahati Director T.G. Sitharam, Silchar NIT Director Prof Sivaji Bandopadhyay, Assam's Additional Secretary to the Industries and Commerce Department Probin Chandra Bora, environmentalists and retired bureaucrats Ranjan Chatterjee and C.P. Marak also spoke at the summit.
The Northeast Green Summit (NGS), supported by the UN Environment Programme (UNEP) being held in southern Assam city Silchar and Forest Ministers of eight northeastern states were expected to meet to discuss climate change and conservation issues in the region.

Hungary's Levente Kiss dictated fantastic rhythm in the AIBA Youth World Boxing Championships on Day4
The fourth preliminary day was held at the AIBA Youth World Boxing Championships in Kielce, Poland where the next big package of contests saw several RSCs. Hungary's EUBC European Junior Boxing Championships silver medallist Levente Kiss had a fantastic rhythm against India's Jugnoo and won the bout of the day.
Altogether 414 boxers including 140 women from 52 nations are competing in the AIBA Youth World Boxing Championships in Poland. Among the European nations, Armenia, Belarus, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Moldova, Poland, Romania, Russia, Turkey and Ukraine sent at least 10 boxers to Kielce.
The following 32 European nations are attending in the AIBA Youth World Boxing Championships in Kielce: Armenia, Azerbaijan, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Belarus, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Israel, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Moldova, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Poland, Romania, Russia, Scotland, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Turkey and Ukraine.
The safety of all participants, the continuous medical checks, the social distancing, the hygienic preparations, wearing masks and all of the health controls are the responsibility of the local organizers in Poland to avoid any new Covid-19 cases during the AIBA Youth World Boxing Championships. The competition is holding with strict Covid-19 protocols same which used in the recent EUBC Championships.
The bout of the day
Hungary's Levente Kiss claimed silver medal at the 2018 EUBC European Junior Boxing Championships and gold in their last Elite National Championships at the age of 18. The Hungarian super heavyweight (+91kg) boxer started the first round with energetic style against India's Jugnoo who is a well-known face in the European international tournaments. Kiss dictated the tempo against the strong Indian and built up his advantage minute by minute in Kielce. All of the Indian boxers developed amazingly in the recent one year but Kiss was able to increase his rhythm and beat Jugnoo in a fantastic battle.
The surprise of the day
Estonia's Anton Vinogradov competed mostly in national events and smaller tournaments in the recent years therefore he was motivated in his debuting contest at the AIBA Youth World Boxing Championships. The light heavyweight (81kg) boxer dominated the first round against Jordan's Rashed Al-Swaisat and he had a massive advantage after three minutes. The taller Estonian controlled all of the exchanges against the Jordanian and one of his punches decided the contest, knocked out his opponent.
Italy's Lucia Ayari achieved silver medal at the 2019 EUBC European Junior Boxing Championships and she is a secret favourite at the women's flyweight (51kg). She was smaller than her Czech opponent, Veronika Zajicova but her aggressive style compensated the differences. Both boxers received warnings in the first and second rounds of the contest and after six minutes of fight Ayari had a short advantage on the scorecards. The Italian controlled the third round and advanced to the next stage of the AIBA Youth World Boxing Championships.
Finland's Pihla Kaivo-Oja has got experiences from the recent EUBC Championships and she competed also several international tournaments. She had the routine against Jordan's Hanan Nassar who competed at the very first time out of her country. Finland's flyweight (51kg) talent reduced the fighting distance successfully therefore she had a massive advantage after two rounds. Kaivo-Oja knew more about boxing and she eliminated the taller Jordanian in Kielce reaching the quarter-finals.
Russia's EUBC European Women's Junior Champion Valeria Linkova claimed the youth national title and returned to the national team. The 18-year-old Russian was a hard target for Morocco's Salma Laghlali who tried to catch the European star in their flyweight (51kg) contest. Linkova had better footwork and the Irish referee had to count the Moroccan in the second round following the tough Russian punches. The North African boxer survived the most dangerous moments but Linkova's clear success was not in danger.
Russia's EUBC European Schoolboys Boxing Championships silver medallist Vasiliy Kaverin enjoyed his comeback to the top national team in Kielce on Day4. The Russian light heavyweight (81kg) boxer used his quick jabs to control his contest against Armenia's Hrant Torosyan in the afternoon session. The 18-year-old Russian used the perfect tactic against the taller Armenian and landed several good shots in each of the three round. Kaverin has done a successful debut in Kielce and won his contest by unanimous decision.
Montenegro's defending EUBC European Youth Champion at the light heavyweight (81kg) Petar Lijesevic arrived to the AIBA Youth World Boxing Championships as a medal hopeful. The Montenegrin boxer was more experienced than Kyrgyzstan's Bakyt Toktosun Uulu who looked competitive only in the third round. Lijesevic used his height advantage and his physical conditions well in the contest and won his debuting match unanimously.
Bulgaria's William Cholov is a native talent in our sport who won three European titles within three years as a schoolboy and junior. The Bulgarian middleweight (75kg) boxer followed his tactic well against Azerbaijan's Jafar Heydarli and his will controlled the battle. Cholov, who recovered from his illness in time, landed excellent shots but he was not untouchable for Heydarli in the second round. The Bulgarian delivered a smart boxing in Kielce and eliminated a capable Azeri boxer by unanimous points decision.

We are implementing a secure messaging program into our practice that will facilitate encryption to allow transfer of referrals and replies and reports back to referrers. The program mostly used in Qld is Medical Objects. This is used by all the main medical practice manager programs that gps are using. If it was available as a plug in with front desk it would allow direct messaging from front desk rather than having to go out of the program and then send. It would also allow direct input into pt files from messages/referrals received. Is this a possibility??
Hi Linda. Medical Object is only one of several secure messaging systems in use around Australia. To implement the common systems would take a significant effort and cost from the Front Desk development fund, which we feel can be put to better use at this stage. This situation will change when a common interface becomes available or when secure messaging becomes more widely used in the allied health space. Though these systems are critical for GP practices, they are less critical in the allied health space at this time and there are alternatives, such as running external applications and interfaces.
We believe Medical Objects has a Microsoft Word integration, which will allow you to send secure messages via Front Desk using our Microsoft Office/Word integration. We recommend contacting Medical Objects for more information on this as a possibility for your practice at this time.
We use Medical Objects with Frontdesk without issue. It will use a Word plugin. Best to get in contact with Medical Objects. Word uses different tags to Frontdesk so you will need to create new templates.
Hi Tim. Thanks for jumping in and letting us know that this integration works in the real world!
Thanks Tim, Timothy and Steven for your responses. I will follow this up with medical Objects.
I have just started looking at this software for our practice. Is it able to automatically import referrals or is this still a manual process for Frontdesk?
Hi Renee. There are several secure messaging providers in Australia. Currently, we are working on a secure messaging integration with HealthLink. When receiving referrals through this integration, they will appear directly inside of Front Desk.
There is currently an initiative by the Australian Digital Health Agency to create a common portal among all the secure messaging vendors so in future you only need to subscribe to one vendor in order to send and receive messages to all health professionals in Australia using the different systems.
Currently, we believe you can send messages into the Medical Objects network using a Microsoft Word plugin supplied by Medical Objects, which can be used in conjunction with the Front Desk standard letter functionality.
You may wish to contact HealthLink to investigate their current interoperability with the other secure messaging vendors.
Hi Timothy, is this Healthlink integration going to be two-way? Not just receiving referrals but will the practitioner be able to send letters securely back to the GP?
Hi Andrea. We can confirm that the Healthlink integration will allow for the sending and receiving of secure messages.

ARTISTS WHO DO BOOKS

The white words 'ARTISTS WHO DO BOOKS' stand out against an intensely dark black pastel background, giving this drawing a stark appearance. The letters were not outlined by hand but were positioned on the white paper using acetate stencils in the sans serif typeface. Once these inverse stencils were in place, the powdery pastel was rubbed into the paper by hand and with rags to achieve a dense but smooth finish. A fixative was then applied to maintain the crisp division between text and background, before the acetate stencils were peeled back to reveal the bare, white paper surface of the individual letters. In his reliance upon the technical aids of graphic design, Ruscha subverts the common understanding of drawing as a medium of creative skill and self-expression. This mechanical efficiency echoes the subject matter of the drawing: artists producing books of printed material in multiple editions, as opposed to creating unique works of art.
Ruscha worked as a layout artist at a Los Angeles advertising agency after graduating in fine art from the Chouinard Art Institute in 1960, becoming the production designer for the influential Artforum magazine from 1965–9, under the pseudonym Eddie Russia. The writer Mary Richards has compared Ruscha's earlier single word paintings and drawings, such as HONK 1962 (Tate AR00184), with his late 1970s group of 'catch-phrase' drawings, of which ARTISTS WHO DO BOOKS is one example among many in ARTIST ROOMS (Tate AR00053–AR00059). She says of the 'catch-phrase' works: 'each can be seen as a puzzle or teaser. No longer detached objects, these words are now contextualised in sentences; instead of looking at the patterns of letters, one has to think, read, digest and process.' (Richards 2008, p.71.) These imperatives are also necessary to understand and interpret the photographic books of conceptual art, pointing to the similarities between the consumption of visual and textual information. In Ruscha's work, units of information are measured and processed equally – the 'catch-phrase' drawings present a written statement in the expected place of a visual image.
In her essay, Richards goes on to state: 'Legible and authoritative like painted signs, these statements look bold and factual even when the phrases are kooky.' (Ibid., p.71.) This intentional mixing of visual authority with verbal jokiness is a key characteristic of the 'catch-phrase' drawings. These works build on Ruscha's west-coast pop art style of the early 1960s which established his reputation, replacing the slick visual representations of everyday objects and LA architecture (for example, Standard Study #3 1963, Tate AR00050) with a precise focus on the imaginative potential of language, while retaining the artist's trademark playful irony. The critic Dave Hickey has observed of these textual snippets: 'Like the drawings themselves, these words are at once objects and ideas.' (Hickey 1998, p.33.)
This phrase drawing is less enigmatic and playful than others in the group, in that it names a specific group of people and is without obvious humour or witticism. The drawing may seem anonymous and detached, but as the writer Richard Marshall explains: 'In certain of his pastel word drawings, the phrase can be self-referential and contain allusions to actual things. ARTISTS WHO DO BOOKS is an obvious reference to the artist's own production of books.' (Richards, p.161.) In the 1960s and early 1970s, Ruscha published sixteen books, including Every Building on the Sunset Strip 1966 (Tate Archive), a deadpan photographic project which became an icon for west-coast American conceptual art. The severely centred and monochromatic design scheme of ARTISTS WHO DO BOOKS is a reference to the black and white photographic publishing output of Ruscha and his contemporaries, which was intended as a sort of non-style, devoid of artistic judgment. This drawing forms a pair with ARTISTS WHO MAKE "PIECES" 1976 (Tate AR00057), and together they allude to conceptual art's undoing of traditional artistic and technical categories.
Dave Hickey, 'I Gotta Use Words When I Talk to You. Ed Ruscha's Drawings' in Ed Ruscha: New Paintings and a Retrospective of the Works on Paper, exhibition catalogue, Anthony d'Offay Gallery, London 1998, pp.33–7, repr. p.37.

Mary Richards, Ed Ruscha, London 2008, repr. p.7.
Stephanie Straine
During the mid 1970s, Ruscha made a series of drawings in pastel using pithy phrases against fields of colour. The sentences and phrases evoke American vernacular and slang, draw attention to a particular experience, or recall the excesses of Hollywood culture. In a number of these works Ruscha draws attention to his own work and to the practice of other conceptual artists working at the time. The monochromatic black and white points to Ruscha's interest in making books, and particularly those he made dedicated to his series of black and white photographs.

FILE - In this Thursday, March 7, 2019 file photo, the Texas state flag files outside the Huawei Technologies Ltd. business location in Plano, Texas. President Donald Trump issued an executive order Wednesday, May 15, 2019, apparently aimed at banning equipment from Chinese telecommunications giant Huawei from U.S. networks. It does not name specific countries or companies and gives the Department of Commerce 150 days to come up with regulations. (AP Photo/Tony Gutierrez, File)
US economic sanctions on Huawei could backfire
The Trump administration's newly announced plan to restrict exports to Chinese telecommunications giant Huawei for national security reasons doesn't just up the ante in the China trade war.
It could also hurt U.S. suppliers and accelerate Beijing's drive toward greater tech independence.
Telecoms analyst Roger Entner says one-third of Huawei's suppliers are American and, ironically, many of the computer chips and other components it gets from U.S. companies are made in China.
The White House said Wednesday it would require U.S. Commerce Department approval for any Huawei purchases of American technology.
Washington has long insisted that equipment from Chinese suppliers including Huawei poses an espionage threat. But U.S. officials have presented no evidence of Huawei equipment serving as intentional conduits for espionage by Beijing.

The third morals, more commonly known as wisdom teeth, are known to cause problems for many people. These teeth often cause serious pain and even potentially perilous dental complications. Because of the potential for danger, most dental experts strongly recommend having your wisdom teeth extracted even if they aren't causing any problems. If you allow your wisdom teeth to remain impacted, you could experience damage to nearby teeth, gum disease, tooth decay, nerve damage, and even cysts. In this post we will go over a few warning signs that your wisdom teeth may be impacted.
Jaw pain can be indicative of many problems, but if you have not had your wisdom teeth removed and you're feeling pain through your jaw and into your skull that gets more intense while chewing, it likely means your wisdom teeth are impacted. The pain in the jaw could cause swelling of the whole jaw area. Swelling may be a sign of a very serious impaction, as the tooth could be creating an infection or nerve damage.
Impacted wisdom teeth can cause your dental health in general to decline. Typically jaw and tooth pain will spread throughout the mouth, including gums. Bleeding or sore gums, especially in the back of the mouth, is a strong indication that there is a major problem with your wisdom teeth.
Bacteria will often become trapped in folds of the teeth and gums. These bacteria have a tendency to grow quickly in dark, damp areas. The infection the bacteria may cause could lead to decay and even cysts. If you have tooth decay, you'll have a rotten taste in your mouth and noticeably foul breath.
At Halonen Family Dentistry, we are all about prevention. It is so important to have your teeth examined regularly, and if you feel like something is off, don't hesitate to make an appointment with your dentist, as waiting too long can mean irreversible damage. If you have been looking for a trusted and experienced dentist in Battle Creek who know about emergency dental care, call and set up an appointment today!
