Q: Packing into executable with Instantiations VA Smalltalk™? I wonder if is possible to package into an executable in VA Smalltalk. Posts on this subject seem to have contradictory or old information. The README from Instantiations comments about splash screen and other resource tweaks for client installs, but is not clear about making an executable application for distribution.
In that case:
Does generating an exe file implies stripping an image?
Is the image bootstrapped, i.e. built from scratch?

A: There's no way to embed the image (.icx file) into the executable (.exe file) with VA Smalltalk. The best you can do is have an exe file for the VM and your own custom icx file for the image plus a .ini file for configuration.  The "Make Executable" option in the organizer creates these files for you but you still have several files.

A: Here is a good resource for starting out making runtimes.
Although, as mentioned, you can "Make Executable" from the option menu, my experience is based on the runtime packaging.

A: so here is my attempt to give a short answer.
You do ship several components when you deploy your application as a runtime:

*

*Your stripped down image (VA ST has a very powerful tool called Packaged Image Browser for this task)

*The Virtual Machine (a .exe on Windows). You can customize this exe to display your splash screen or your window icon.

*A number of additional files that are needed by the VM and/or your image. These are pictures, message catalogs, additional DLLs etc. VAST has an exhaustive list of which files you have to ship if you use some feature of the product in the VAST documentation

So there is no mechanism to bundle VM and Image together and turn them into a single .exe file, like in Dolphin Smalltalk and maybe more. What you ship is usually a Directory with a few subfolders in it.

Pete Dye's Heron Point golf course at Sea Pines Resort: An exercise in obedience
By Lisa Allen, Contributor
HILTON HEAD ISLAND, S.C. - Everyone is welcome to play Heron Point at Sea Pines Resort. The question is, are you are going to try to impose yourself on the golf course, or succumb to Pete Dye's design.
The Heron Point course at Sea Pines Resort prompts loads of oohs and ahs throughout. But nothing tops No. 18, according to Lisa Allen.
If you're stubborn and don't deviate from your game, I recommend the Ocean Course at Sea Pines, right next door.
The delight in Heron Point is the golf course itself - not how well one plays it. Drink in the complex bunkering, the undulating greens, the meandering fairway. Notice the risk and reward that Dye dishes out routinely, then take your best shot. And don't get angry with him if the hole doesn't work out like you planned.
Dye's a nice guy. He offers a near blueprint on how to manage his golf course, but you have to obey, kowtow to the master. If his design is built for a 3-wood and long iron into the green, just do it. Don't argue by pulling our your driver. You're not going to win this game. Pete is. Maybe he's getting a little cantankerous, but he earned it. Frankly, the Heron course is his way or the bogey highway. Or worse.
But listen to the artist and what he's trying to tell you, and you may experience the round of your life. Note that on nearly every hole, he provides a visual target. Nothing on this course is random.
Is that tree right in line with where you want to go off the tee? it's not a coincidence. The information is all there at the green. Just pay attention. The small greens are carved into five sections so you can plan accordingly, based on the pin position.
"When Pete Dye was designing the course, he was here every day, the whole time," said Bobby Downs, staff professional for the Ocean and Heron Point courses at Sea Pines. "It was really interesting to watch him get on his hands and knees (to examine undulation) at his age.
"He was so hands-on, it floored me. I was really impressed by his passion."
Dye sees everything is his mind, but he can illustrate that vision, too. "We were out there one day, it was 90 degrees, and he had people stand where the trees will be," Downs said.
He wanted others to see what he did.
Heron Point at Sea Pines Resort: The golf course
Five tee stations range from 7,103 yards and a slope rating of 75.4/143 for the Tournament tees to 5,220 yards, 71.6/123 from the forward, Palmetto tees. Three tees are rated for women; many thanks to Alice Dye. Sea Pines also added a family tee that comes in at 3,743 yards.
Heron Point sits on the former site of Sea Marsh. Dye took it down, well, even past the studs, in 2007. He tweaked it again in 2009 to remove some of the bite. "Members have a very loud voice, and they thought it was too difficult," Downs said.
Overall, though, the changes were subtle and didn't affect Dye's intent.
"It's a long course, and you have to put it in the right place on the green," Downs said. "Ocean is a softer course."
Heron Point's bread-and-butter par 4s are anything but vanilla
Even before arriving at the first tee, you know this golf course is different. On your left is the 18th green, a kidney-shaped contraption with water on one side, peppered with vertical ties shoring up the bank. But that comes later.
The first hole is a sight to behold. The tee itself is a peninsula, with a stripe of a waste bunker the length of the right side, and palmetto trees up close on the left. The green is just a wee thing amid an eruption of mounds and bunkers. And there is no such thing as a straight roll once on putting surface. Pete doesn't do level. The undulations are fun to try to calculate.
The third fairway is a spidery organism. It winds around a large bunker complex on the left that begins about 70 yards from the green. The fairway then dips into a valley in front of the green, eliminating most luck with the bounces. A jumble of mounds is situated right of the green for those who try to avoid the aforementioned bunkers. Phew, this hole is a lot of work, especially for a par 4 of 313 yards from the middle tees.
Every hole is a complicated matter
The golf course doesn't skimp on detail on the par 3s, either, placing trouble wherever you might land other than the green. And the green is highly recommended. Note the work of sand art on No. 7. That waste bunker oozes all over in front of the green, interrupted only by a couple pot bunkers if you'd rather.
The par 5s deliver the drama demanded by such a golf course. No. 6 features an S-shaped fairway with waste-bunker lined water at both curves and an approach to the green from the right. Easy? No. Gorgeous? Yes, with the bunkers and mounds. On the far side of the green is water, so beware.
Nos. 9 and 11, also par 5s, are similar, with sharp doglegs off the tee, then on to the green past a gamut of bunkers, water, mounds and what have you. You know the Dye drill.
No. 10 ranked as my favorite hole on the course, because it was so surprising from the tee to see that bunker about 60 yards from the green in the middle of the fairway. Luckily, although I didn't know it off the tee, my shot landed far left. The placement forced me to thread the golf ball between two bunker clusters down to the green - but not too far right, lest that huge, live oak, nor too long, because of a pond on the backside of the green. Great hole.
Despite all of the oohs and ahs on this course, nothing tops No. 18. It's a par 4 with a waste bunker-edged pond that spans the length of the left side. The fairway is wide as can be until about 120 yards out. Then it seems to disappear as the hole veers left to a small green. More than half of it is lined with water, and the rest is bunker laden.
Do yourself a favor: Play it like a par 5 and maybe you'll "par" it. If you try to get there in two, who knows where the strokes will stop.
Sue Morris, a high handicapper, likes Heron Point because it's challenging but offers options. When her game is lacking, she plays the family tees. "I like those tees," she said.
Other days, she plays the front tees but uses the escapes provided by Dye. "I find a way around the carries," Morris aid. "I always find the bailouts." They might be longer, but they're safer.
Stan McDonald, a single-digit player, played the Heron course before and after the modifications in 2009. The original second hole irked him. Because of a sharp dropoff behind the green, a shot just a tad long wound up wet. "You didn't get rewarded for hitting a good shot," McDonald said. Now, imperfect approach shots might land in a collection area, not sand or water.
Heron Point at Sea Pines Resort: The verdict
If you visit Hilton Head Island, try to play this course. It's fun, challenging and Dye all the way, but it does seem a bit detached from its surroundings. Honestly, one can imagine this course anywhere, because there is little that makes it uniquely Lowcountry. There are no marsh carries, and the topography is obviously manufactured. But if you want to be a golfer for the day, and not a tourist, give Heron Point a spin.

OSTI.GOV Journal Article: Core excitations across the neutron shell gap in 207Tl
Title: Core excitations across the neutron shell gap in 207Tl
The single closed-neutron-shell, one proton–hole nucleus 207Tl was populated in deep-inelastic collisions of a 208Pb beam with a 208Pb target. The yrast and near-yrast level scheme has been established up to high excitation energy, comprising an octupole phonon state and a large number of core excited states. Based on shell-model calculations, all observed single core excitations were established to arise from the breaking of the N=126 neutron core. While the shell-model calculations correctly predict the ordering of these states, their energies are compressed at high spins. It is concluded that this compression is an intrinsic feature of shell-model calculations using two-body matrix elements developed for the description of two-body states, and that multiple core excitations need to be considered in order to accurately calculate the energy spacings of the predominantly three-quasiparticle states.

Doubly magic Pb 208 : High-spin states, isomers, and E 3 collectivity in the yrast decay
Journal Article Broda, R. ; Janssens, R. V. F. ; Iskra, Ł. W. ; ... - Physical Review C
Yrast and near-yrast levels up to spin values in excess of I = 30h have been delineated in the doubly-magic 208Pb nucleus following deep-inelastic reactions involving 208Pb targets and, mostly, 430-MeV 48Ca and 1440-MeV 208Pb beams. The level scheme was established up to an excitation energy of 16.4 MeV, based on multi-fold γ-ray coincidence relationships measured with the Gammasphere array. Below the well-known, 0.5-μs 10 + isomer, ten new transitions were added to earlier work. The delineation of the higher parts of the level sequence benefited from analyses involving a number of prompt- and delayed-coincidence conditions. Three new isomeric statesmore » were established along the yrast line with I π = 20 - (10342 keV), 23 + (11361 keV), and 28 - (13675 keV), and respective half-lives of 22(3), 12.7(2), and 60(6) ns. Gamma transitions were also identified preceding in time the 28 - isomer, however, only a few could be placed in the level scheme and no firm spin-parity quantum numbers could be proposed. In contrast, for most states below this 28 - isomer, firm spin-parity values were assigned, based on total electron-conversion coefficients, deduced for low-energy (<500 keV) transitions from γ-intensity balances, and on measured γ-ray angular distributions. The latter also enabled the quantitative determination of mixing ratios. The transition probabilities extracted for all isomeric transitions in 208Pb have been reviewed and discussed in terms of the intrinsic structure of the initial and final levels involved. Particular emphasis was placed on the many observed E3 transitions as they often exhibit significant enhancements in strength (of the order of tens of W.u.) comparable to the one seen for the neutron j 15/2→g 9/2 E3 transition in 209Pb. In this context, the enhancement of the 725-keV E3 transition (56 W.u.) associated with the decay of the highest-lying 28 - isomer observed in this work remains particularly challenging to explain. Large-scale shell-model calculations were performed with two approaches, a first one where the 1, 2, and 3 particle-hole excitations do not mix with one another, and another more complex one, in which such mixing takes place. We compared the calculated levels with the data and a general agreement is observed for most of the 208Pb level scheme. At the highest spins and energies, however, the 2 correspondence between theory and experiment is less satisfactory and the experimental yrast line appears to be more regular than the calculated one. This regularity is notable when the level energies are plotted versus the I(I+1) product and the observed, nearly linear, behavior was considered within a simple "rotational" interpretation. Furthermore, within this approximate picture, the extracted moment of inertia suggests that only the 76 valence nucleons participate in the "rotation" and that the 132Sn spherical core remains inert.« less

High-spin states and isomers in the one-proton-hole and three-neutron-hole {sup 204}Tl isotope
Journal Article Broda, R. ; Maier, K. H. ; Fornal, B. ; ... - Physical Review. C, Nuclear Physics
The high-spin structure of the neutron-rich {sup 204}Tl isotope has been studied up to a 11.2-MeV excitation energy and a I=30 spin range using the deep-inelastic heavy-ion {gamma}-spectroscopy method with reactions of {sup 48}Ca on thick {sup 208}Pb and {sup 238}U targets. The established structure of yrast levels involves four isomeric states up to I{sup {pi}=}22{sup -}, the highest spin state available for the maximally aligned four valence holes. The observations are interpreted and quantitatively confirmed by shell-model calculations. The rates of the identified M2 and E3 isomeric decays are discussed and a striking analogy is found for the yrastmore » level structures and {gamma} decays observed in the 18{sup +} to 22{sup -} and 45/2{sup -} to 53/2{sup +} spin ranges in {sup 204}Tl and {sup 203}Hg, respectively. In the highest spin part of the scheme, two prominently populated yrast states are tentatively identified as the 3{sup -} {sup 208}Pb core excitation built on the 22{sup -} and 20{sup +} maximally aligned four-hole states. Their energies are reproduced well by using energy shifts observed in experiments for the {sup 208}Pb core octupole excitation coupled to simpler intrinsic structures.« less
Two-neutron and core-excited states in Pb 210 : Tracing E 3 collectivity and evidence for a new β -decaying isomer in Tl 210
Journal Article Broda, R. ; Iskra, Ł. W. ; Janssens, R. V. F. ; ... - Physical Review C
Yrast and near-yrast levels up to an I = 17h spin value and a 6-MeV excitation energy have been delineated in the "two-neutron" 210Pb nucleus following deep-inelastic reactions involving 208Pb targets and a number of heavy-ion beams at energies similar to 25% above the Coulomb barrier. The level scheme was established on the basis of multifold prompt and delayed coincidence relationships measured with the Gammasphere array. In addition to the previously known states, many new levels were identified. For most of the strongly populated states, spin-parity assignments are proposed on the basis of angular distributions. The reinvestigation of the nu(g9/2)2,more » 8+ isomeric decay results in the firm identification of the low-energy E2 transitions involved in the 8+-> 6+-> 4+ cascade, and in a revised 6+ level half-life of 92(10) ns, nearly a factor of 2 longer than previously measured. Among the newly identified states figure spin I = 4-10 (h) over bar levels associated with the nu g9/2i11/2 multiplet, as well as yrast states involving nu g9/2j15/2, nu i11/2j15/2, and nu(j15/2)2 neutron couplings. The highest-spin excitations are understood as 1p-lh core excitations and the yrast population is found to be fragmented to the extent that levels of spin higher than I = 17 (h) over bar could not be reached. Four E3 transitions are present in the 210Pb yrast decay; three of these involve the g9/2-> j15/2 octupole component, as reflected in the 21(2) and > 10 Weisskopf unit enhancements of the B(E3) rates of the first two. The fourth, 16+-> 13- E3 transition corresponds to the 3- core octupole excitation built on the nu i11/j15/2 state, in analogy to a similar E3 coupling to the vj15/2 level in 209Pb. Shell-model calculations performed for two-neutron states and 1p-1h 208Pb core excitations are in good agreement with the data. Evidence was found for the existence of a hitherto unknown high-spin beta-decaying isomer in 210Tl. Shell-model calculations of the 210Tl levels suggest the possibility of a 11+ long-lived, j-decaying state, and the beta-delayed yields observed in various reactions fit rather well with a 210Tl assignment.« less
{gamma}-ray spectroscopy of {sup 163}Ta
Journal Article Sandzelius, M. ; Department of Physics, University of Jyvaeskylae, FIN-40014 Jyvaeskylae ; Cederwall, B. ; ... - Physical Review. C, Nuclear Physics
Excited states in {sup 163}Ta have been identified for the first time using the {sup 106}Cd({sup 60}Ni,3p) fusion evaporation reaction. {gamma} rays were detected using the JUROGAM {gamma}-ray spectrometer and recoil discrimination was achieved using the recoil ion transport unit (RITU) gas-filled separator in conjunction with the GREAT spectrometer situated at the focal plane of the RITU. The yrast states are assigned to a strongly coupled rotational band based on a {pi}h{sub 11/2} configuration. This structure exhibits large signature splitting at low spins that disappears after the paired band crossing because of the alignment of a pair of i{sub 13/2}more » neutrons. This effect is ascribed to triaxial shape changes induced by the core-polarizing properties of the deformation-aligned h{sub 11/2} proton and the rotation-aligned i{sub 13/2} neutrons. Two additional strongly coupled band structures have been established and are discussed in terms of octupole-vibrational and two-quasiparticle excitations built on the yrast structure. The experimental results are compared with predictions from cranked-shell-model and total-Routhian-surface calculations.« less

I am reasonably back to a normal routine. And the last two weeks reflect progress.
Tracking my meals and counting all the Weight Watchers Points is a must. I don't think there will ever come a day that I will no longer need to track what I eat.
The next big thing that helped me get back to normal was preparation. Having the right kinds of food available makes it a lot easier to make better choices. Stocking up on My Fit Foods meals is a big help. My Fit Foods enables me to have breakfast and lunches available at my office. (If you haven't checked our My Fit Foods there is a link on my blog.) Michele and I did a better job of preparing evening meals in advance so that neither one of us had to spend too much time cooking.
I still feel a sense of lost time because I have to work to get back to a previous weight level. But I have successfully lost back half the weight I gained during my five week slip.
That is all part of being aware and getting back to normal.

Q: Bold square root with normal argument This is a somewhat funny question. To explain the problem of complex extensions of the principal square root, I would like to have two visibly different square root signs within the same document; for example, besides the usual one, a boldface square root sign, yet hosting a normally typed argument. I have no clues.  If not possible, I would be grateful for suggestions about totally different solutions...

A: Yes of course this can be done with the bm package. The usage is detailed in the package documentation section 3.3.
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{bm}

\begin{document}

$\bm\sqrtsign{x} \quad \text{vs.} \quad \sqrt{x}$

\end{document}

However, I would urge you to come up with something a little bit more noticeable.

At the end of summer, I decided to take a much-needed break from dating. I had just ended a very emotionally taxing relationship that left me feeling completely spent. After taking a dating break for a couple of months, I tried to put myself back out there and, at first, it did not feel great. I found that I was constantly hella nervous, and realized part of me didn't even want to be going on the dates I was scheduling. Because of this, I wanted to learn about some body language tips for feeling more confident on dates. I talked with body language expert Lisa Mitchell about my current dating predicament, and I ended up learning a lot about myself along the way.
Ever since I ended my last relationship, I've felt sort of bitter about dating. I spent a lot of time thinking about all of my relationships that hadn't worked out, and why they didn't. Deep down, I know that dating is a process and relationships end for numerous reasons, but I was feeling pretty defensive about trying to get back out there. This was confusing because as a person who writes about dating a lot, feeling confident in my own love life is important to me. To me, that means being OK with being single, being open to the idea of meeting the right person, and not feeling a Disney-movie-evil-queen level of bitterness about my past. Ultimately, I wanted to understand where this anxiety was coming from and how to feel more confident.
At the beginning of our video call, I explained my current dating troubles to Mitchell. She responded, "So, what is your end goal? What do you want?" I was stunned for a second because I honestly didn't have an answer. I had not been expecting to be asked such a simple question, and for the answer to feel so complicated. "I don't know," I said, "I guess, primarily, for no one to hurt me and, like, overall I either want something really good, or I want nothing."
She proceeded to tell me that people are always subconsciously emitting a nonverbal vibe that expresses their mood and what they're thinking. There are numerous tips and tricks that she often suggests and practices with clients. Those include using good posture and making sure your body faces the person you're talking to. You can also subtly mirror the movements of the person you're interacting with because it makes them feel like they are with someone similar to them.
She continued to explain that people's bodies are like GPS systems, and the mind is always inputting the directions. If the only information I am inserting into my GPS-brain before a date is, "Don't hurt me," it's no wonder I felt defensive and anxious on dates.
Mitchell explained that all the body language tips and tricks she could share wouldn't work if I didn't have that initial clarity of what I want and need. So, she asked, what would happen if I decided to believe in what I wanted? Since my brain is sending a message to my body either way, I might as well try to input my own directions. She said my message could be as simple as, "I am worthy of good things both in life and dating."
I thought about my meeting with Mitchell for a couple of days, turning it over in my mind like a cough drop that takes forever to dissolve."What do I want?" I thought. The truth is, I did know what I want, but sometimes it takes guts to be honest about it. What I want is to enjoy dating again, to take the pressure of finding love off and just have more fun on dates. I don't want to keep walking into dates wearing an invisible suit of armor that screams, "Don't hurt me!!! Please!!!" The armor is there for a reason because my last two or three relationships did not end well, and that's made me defensive AF. But since those people are in the past, what was stopping me from getting what I wanted? I thought I might as well test out Mitchell's advice. So, I planned a date.
On the day of the date, I woke up and set the intention to do nice things for myself. I used a new face mask, took extra time to do my hair and makeup, and I even journaled for a little while. I made the intentional decision to believe I was worthy, attractive, fun to be around, and that my dating past doesn't dictate my dating present. I tried to input the message into my head that I wanted that date to be enjoyable. And, as I walked to Prospect Park with the setting sun poking between spaces in the leaves of the red and gold trees, I realized I wasn't riddled with the hum of pre-date anxiety that I had grown so used to. I noticed that I was walking taller with my shoulders open, and my stomach wasn't tying itself into knots. I was wearing a cute outfit that my date ended up saying he liked. And, as we walked around the park, I felt at ease with myself and what I had to offer as a person.
We ended the date over dinner, laughing, talking about writing, growing up, and dogs we had just seen at the park. It felt good to think about how the simple decision to believe in what I wanted kind of made it happen.
Overall, the date was pretty normal. It wasn't some magical romantic night that ended with a foot-popping Princess Diaries kiss. But the memory of it feels incredibly light. It's almost as if I had been carrying the weight of my romantic past on my back whenever I went into a new dating encounter, and doing so turned out to be pretty heavy. Mitchell's advice helped me set the weight of my past down. And in doing so, I feel so much lighter.

Trox sabulosus ist ein Käfer aus der Familie der Erdkäfer (Trogidae).  Diese wurden früher zu den Blatthornkäfern gestellt, weil der Bau der Fühler in beiden Familien ähnlich ist. Das acht bis neun Millimeter lange Tier ernährt sich von tierischen Überresten. Gelegentlich werden die deutschen Namen Breitstreifiger Erdkäfer oder Knochenkäfer benutzt.

Körperbau des Käfers
Der Käfer ist braunschwarz, die Fühler rostrot. Die im Alter häufig abgeriebenen Borsten sind bräunlich-gelb. Der Körper ist kurz, verkehrt eiförmig und stark gewölbt.

Der Kopf ist in den Halsschild zurückgezogen. Die Fühler sind zehngliedrig, die letzten drei Glieder bilden einen Fächer, der durch die feine Behaarung matt erscheint. Das erste Glied der Geissel ist lang und auf der Unterseite leicht ausgehöhlt. Die Mundwerkzeuge sind nach unten gerichtet und liegen nicht mit dem Kopfschild in einer Ebene. Die Oberkiefer sind kurz mit kleiner, fast glatter Mahlfläche. Die Kiefertaster sind ziemlich kurz, das Endglied länglich. Das dritte Lippentasterglied ist eiförmig verdickt.

Der Halsschild ist seitlich und an der Basis (das ist die hintere Seite, zu den Flügeldecken hin) gerandet. Seitlich schließt er mit einer Reihe kurzer Borsten ab, an der Basis sitzen weniger regelmäßig etwas längere Borsten. Die gewölbte Scheibe ist grob skulpturiert, tief punktiert und besitzt ebenfalls Borstenreihen.

Die Flügeldecken bedecken das Körperende. Jede Flügeldecke trägt zehn Streifen aus flachen Grübchen (in Abb. 5 teilweise grün getönt). Die Streifen sind im Vergleich mit anderen Arten der Gattung breit, fast so breit wie die Intervalle zwischen den Streifen. Dies erklärt den deutschen Namensteil breitstreifig. Auf dem dritten, fünften, siebten und neunten Zwischenraum (in Abb. 5 teilweise rot getönt) reihen sich größere Tuberkel, die mit kurzen kräftigen Borsten besetzt sind und deswegen große Borstenflecken bilden. Auf den geraden Zwischenräumen (in Abb. 5 teilweise gelb getönt) sitzen weniger dicht kleinere Erhabenheiten. Sie sind ebenfalls beborstet und bilden kleine Borstentüpfelchen. Im Alter ist der Käfer weitgehend kahl (Abb. 1).

Die Vorderbrust (Prosternum) ist zwischen den Vorderbeinen nach hinten verlängert. Dieser Prosternalfortsatz ist kurz und spitz. Der Hinterleib zeigt nur fünf Sternite. Die Hüften des mittleren Beinpaars sind sehr klein und rundlich. Die Beine haben fünfgliedrige Tarsen, die Vorderbeine sind durch den gezähnten Außenrand der Schienen als Grabbeine ausgebildet.

Lebensweise
Die wärmeliebenden Käfer können durch Reiben des Hinterleibs an den Flügeldecken zirpende Geräusche erzeugen. Die Art findet man nicht selten an sandigen Stellen mit schütterem Bewuchs. Sie suchen dort trockenes Aas, alte Knochen, Lappen, Felle, Leder, Hufen, Federn und Gewölle auf. In einem französischen Insektenforum wird darauf hingewiesen, dass die Art gut mit Fuchskot geködert werden kann und die adulten Tiere im Frühjahr anzutreffen sind.

Verbreitung
Die Art ist nahezu in ganz Europa verbreitet. Insgesamt wird fast die gesamte Paläarktis besiedelt, von Europa über Sibirien, Kasachstan und die Mongolei bis Korea. Tiere aus Japan werden der Unterart fujiokai Ochi, 2000 zugeordnet. Im Süden umfasst das Areal Kleinasien und Syrien.

Taxonomie und Systematik
Die Gattung Trox ist weltweit mit 46 Arten, in Europa mit 21 Arten vertreten, die alle zur Untergattung Trox gehören. In Mitteleuropa trifft man etwa acht Arten an. Trox sabulosus ist Typusart der Gattung Trox.

Die Art wurde 1758 von Linné in der zehnten Auflage seiner Systema naturae als 33. Art der Gattung Scarabaeus erstmals beschrieben. Die kurze Beschreibung wird mit der Angabe "Habitat in Europae terra sabulosa" (lat.: lebt in sandiger Erde in Europa) ergänzt. Dies erklärt den Artnamen sabulosus (lat. sabulōsus  = sandig). Die Gattung Trox wurde 1775 durch Fabricius von Scarabaeus abgespalten.  Der Gattungsname Trox (von altgr. τροξ trox Nager) bezieht sich möglicherweise darauf, dass der Oberkiefer gegabelt ist (lat. maxilla bifida)

This is how markets were in 1987 and how they recovered.
Note that in 1987 we had a second bottom (some may have called it the final leg) which was a bit higher than the initial one. Having said this, it is possible that this time we have a second bottom which could a bit lower than the 1st one. This would just scare hell out of everybody, turn sentiment extremely negative and so enable for an upleg.
Again, what we have today CANNOT be compared to the situation of the Great Depression as at that time we did NOT have Fiat Paper money as we have today. Add to this that we also did NOT have all these uncontrolled derivatives and credit default swaps which are - I have no doubt about it - a great help in manipulating the financial markets. Hence today's situation must be compared to what is happening in Zimbabwe.
The Great Depression: this is how markets were advertised in and yet they still crashed. Today the sentiment is rather the opposite. Most analysts fear a second down wave 'C' which is supposed to take the World Stock markets a lot lower. This is not our opinion.
During the Great Depression, Gold still played a role in the money supply. Many investors fail to remember that at that time, we had a DEFLATION because the authorities were limited in the amount of money they could create. Germany did have a hyperinflation (Weimar revolution) and the Mark crashed because at that time the Money supply was NOT limited by Gold.

Theresa May to Trigger Article 50
Theresa May is set to trigger Article 50
Theresa May is to trigger Article 50 on Wednesday 29 March, the prime minister's spokesperson has confirmed.
Sir Tim Barrow, the UK's permanent representative to the EU, notified the Union that a letter of withdrawal should be expected on this date, putting the UK on course to officially leave the bloc on the same date in 2019. The BBC reported that an EU spokesman said that the Union was 'ready and waiting' for the official letter notifying the Union of the exit.
Parliament approved the move two weeks ago, giving Mrs May the authority to begin pushing the Brexit process in motion.
Once the date to trigger Article 50 was announced, Mrs. May said, 'I am very clear that I want to ensure we get the best possible deal for the United Kingdom that works for everyone across the United Kingdom and all parts of the UK when we enter these negotiations.' She continued, 'I have set out my objectives. These include getting a good free trade deal. They include putting issues like continuing working together on issues like security at the core what we are doing. We are going to be out there, negotiating hard, delivering on what the British people voted for.' The prime minister is expected to make a statement outlining her aims for negotiation in the House of Commons shortly after triggering Article 50 next Wednesday.
The Brexit secretary, David Davis, has called it 'the most important negotiation for this country in a generation.'
The Belgian prime minister, Charles Michel, welcomed the announcement that the UK is to trigger Article 50, tweeting that 'clarity is in everyone's interest'. He voiced his hope that Britain would continue to be a close partner of Belgium and the EU.
Global-Britain.com will keep businesses up-to-date in the coming Brexit negotiations, helping to prepare by working closely with the country's leading organisations and consultants.

The fragile world recovery
The world's finance ministers are meeting in Washington against a gloomy economic backdrop: global recovery is under way, but a period of slow growth seems to be the best that most big economies can hope for—provided nothing else goes wrong
AMONG economists and policymakers, it is no longer the subject of much debate. The world economy has been blown off course. Nor has this year seen the sort of smooth, rapid recovery that so many economists were predicting even just a few months ago. The latest projections from the International Monetary Fund (IMF), published on September 25th, show a gloomier assessment than that produced in April.
It is not just a question of revising growth forecasts downwards—though most of them have been. The IMF is also concerned that the balance of risks has shifted. As Kenneth Rogoff, the IMF's chief economist, acknowledged when commenting on the forecasts, most of the risks are now on the downside. Horst Köhler, the IMF's managing director, said on September 26th that he was by nature perhaps slightly more optimistic than Mr Rogoff, but even he noted the considerable uncertainty which currently affects the global economy.
Economists can—and frequently do—argue about the specifics of economic forecasts, sometimes behaving as if it were possible to fine-tune these with any great degree of accuracy. Some think the IMF is too downbeat, others that it is, even now, too optimistic. But for the policymakers in Washington for the annual meetings of the IMF and the World Bank, and the many smaller, but often more important, meetings which take place at the same time, the challenge is a different one. Given the prospect of, at best, sluggish growth in the next year or two, what can they do to improve the situation and reduce the risk of things turning out worse than expected?
Ultimately, it is the performance of the big industrial economies which will determine global economic performance. And it is the meeting of the G7 finance ministers which could, in theory at least, nudge economic policies in the right direction. The recent record hardly encourages great expectations, though. There are those, especially some former policymakers turned academics, who hanker after the old days, when the finance ministers of the big economies would get together and agree on detailed policy objectives.
So they look back fondly to exchange-rate agreements such as the Plaza Accord of 1985 and the Louvre Accord in 1987; those with greyer hair even cast their minds back to the Bonn Summit of 1978, when Germany agreed to shift policy to increase its growth-rate target by one percentage point. The days of co-ordinated policymaking begin to look attractive, especially to old hands in Washington who believe Europe and Japan should play a bigger role in global recovery.
But it is one thing to think Europe and Japan should do more: quite another to think policy co-ordination currently offers a way forward. In the first place, it is hard to see how, even with goodwill on all sides, it would work. Even in the 1980s, when foreign-exchange markets were much smaller and less liberalised, exchange-rate co-ordination had limited success, not least because agreements which set national interest in conflict with international commitments were prone to unravel. And the Bonn Summit deal, which helped fuel inflation in Germany and which the Germans came to regret, was not an experiment policymakers wanted to repeat.
There is a second, more immediate, obstacle to such co-ordinated policymaking: there is simply no appetite for it among the key policymakers. The Bush administration has shown no enthusiasm for it and indeed, Paul O'Neill, the treasury secretary, is known for his dislike even of discussions about current-account imbalances, for instance. The IMF has, on several occasions, noted that these imbalances pose a threat to global economic stability—sudden corrections could lead to large and potentially painful exchange-rate realignments. Mr O'Neill, though, sees no point in everyone rehearsing their views when there is no prospect of a meeting of minds.
So stubborn
The Europeans and the Japanese can be equally stubborn in their own ways. The Japanese never want to appear unco-operative: but for more than a decade they have, to the despair of their economic partners, managed to ignore most of the advice offered on how to free their economy from deflation and recession. The result in their case has been three recessions in ten years and, as Mr Rogoff put it, without far-reaching reform "there can be no guarantee against a similarly bad decade".
Persistent attempts to persuade the European Central Bank to cut European interest rates to stimulate growth have been met with fierce protestations of the bank's independence. On fiscal policy, too, euro-area governments have been reluctant to ease the requirements of the growth and stability pact, despite a widespread view that some fiscal loosening would give a much-needed spurt to European growth. Only now that Germany and France (along with Italy and Portugal) look set to breach the budget-deficit limits imposed by the pact, does the EU look ready to admit defeat and delay the deadline by a couple of years.
American frustration with Japan and Europe is understandable. For the past decade or more, the world has relied on America as the engine of global growth. Japan, the world's second biggest economy, has been sidelined because of its persistent failure to push through the fundamental reforms needed to overcome its problems—reforms in the banking sector, and in fiscal and monetary policy. Europe, too, is not just suffering from an excess of counter-inflationary zeal (at a time when deflation is also a risk) and inappropriate fiscal restraint: fundamental reforms are needed to labour and capital markets in several countries if domestic demand is to grow significantly.
Nowhere in Europe is the need for change more urgent than in Germany, now the sick man of the continent. The negative reaction of the financial markets to Gerhard Schröder's re-election on September 22nd reflects concern that Mr Schröder does not have the stomach for, or commitment to reform. Yet the Bush administration may have undermined its potential influence on German economic policymaking with its decision to snub the German chancellor because of his views on Iraq and the anti-American comments of a minister he subsequently sacked.
In the short-term, at least, much of the burden on combating slow growth and the threat of deflation about which some economists are now seriously concerned, falls on the central bankers. Until recently, they were the new heroes of economic policymaking. Disillusionment has set in with the end of the boom years. A readiness to respond to further signs of economic deceleration by cutting interest rates might help them recover some of their popularity among economists, as would signs that the central bankers recognise that they need to be on their guard against deflation as well as inflation. But the central bankers can't work miracles. Political leaders, too, need to show they are ready and willing to deliver structural reform—even when it is not popular.

A Kushner Conversation
Neil Ellis OrtsMay 1, 2008
0 47 10 minutes read
Tony Kushner, who speaks in Houston this month, chats about his masterwork, 'Angels in America,' politics, comics, and the meaning of fabulousness.
By Neil Ellis Orts
Tony Kushner needs little introduction. Preeminent American playwright; winner of Pulitzer, Tony, Emmy, and Obie awards; forever immortal as the creator of Angels in America, the grandly epic stage play and HBO television presentation—ringing any bells? On May 19, Inprint, the local literary organization, pre sents an evening at the Alley Theatre with Kushner, whose recent works also include the 2002 musical Caroline, or Change (music by Jeanine Tesori), the dramas Only We Who Guard the Mystery Shall Be Unhappy and Homebody/Kabul, and a new translation of Bertolt Brecht's Mother Courage and Her Children. In 2006, the feature-length documentary Wrestling With Angels: Playwright Tony Kushner premiered at Sundance Film Festival and was recently broadcast on PBS. In anticipation of his Houston appearance, I asked Kushner what he would be reading. "If there's something that I've just been working on that day that I want to try out, sometimes I do that," he responded. "I have my little pieces that I know work, mostly stuff from the plays. It really depends upon what's going on at the moment." After the reading, Alley artistic director Gregory Boyd conducts an on-stage conversation with Kushner. What follows may give you an idea of how broad and stimulating a conversation with Kushner can be.
Neil Ellis Orts: I want to talk to you a little bit as a practicing artist and theorist. In a conversation you had with Michael Cunningham
, you stated that you believe there is a gay aesthetic and you named it fabulousness.
Tony Kushner: That's a very long time ago, and I really haven't thought about that in a long time. I was a really great admirer of Charles Ludlam and the Theatre of the Ridiculous. I felt that at the time of the Theatre of the Ridiculous, which was certainly a gay aesthetic—I don't know that I'd ever say there was only one gay aesthetic—but the Theatre of the Ridiculous was certainly part of a nascent, emerging aesthetic and political personality. It was a part of the grand coming out of the closet of the whole gay community. It sort of originates in the '50s and then emerges into a higher form in the early to mid-'70s. I think that by the time people like me or Michael—and we're very different writers, obviously—were coming along, there was a new kind of gay sensibility emerging.
In fact, the principle difference between the ridiculous and the fabulous has to do with irony, that irony is, among many other things, a coping mechanism. It provides you with a distance between what you really want in your heart of hearts and what you know the world is going to allow you to have. And when the world is not going to allow you to have very much of what you really want, you develop an ironic stance to your own oppression. It's a survival mechanism. It's also a way of expressing discontent and, in that sense, surviving discontent. In some cases, you need the expression of your own discontent because you'll be crushed by external forces, but also you can be crushed by internal forces if you give too full a voice to what you really want when there's no hope of getting it. When that distance is narrowed by liberation, by emancipation, by a successful liberation movement, irony is perhaps not as necessary as a strategy for survival.
It becomes more possible to say directly what you want because you have the hope of actually attaining it. So I think that is what I was talking about, which is not in any way to demonize irony, which I enjoy immensely, or to say that we're done with that now, we shouldn't be ironic anymore. Irony is a very complicated phenomenon and there are all sorts of reasons for its manifestation.
But I think I was also playing a little bit on the word fabulous. I mean, it's a very gay word. If you're trying to sound straight, you don't say "Oh, that's fabulous." There is a certain sense in which fabulous is also a kind of a riff on the idea of historicity. One of the prizes you win when you set yourself free as a community is the luxury and authority and freedom to begin to unearth where you come from and what people who were like you were like in very, very different times.
In Angels in America, you took the gay couple — one who is advancing through AIDS — and instead of having the brave partner who cares for the ailing one, you choose the harder thing of him saying, "I'm out of here." And in Caroline, or Change, instead of the surrogate mother maid, you chose to write about this woman who very much wants none of that. Do these characters come to you and you start learning about them as you write, or do you construct the characters more intentionally, crafting them?
Well, I certainly learn about the characters as I'm writing. The more experience I've gotten as a playwright, the more likely it is that the characters are going to surprise me, and that's a nice thing. But usually when I start I'm thinking about both the characters and also sort of intuiting the kind of play I want it to be—I mean, most writers would want to avoid, as much as possible, clichés because they're boring.

Even if the audience is fooling itself that it's having a good time because the show is doing exactly what it has expected a show to do, I think the audience is actually bored. It's like eating a lot of junk food and slowly starving to death. I think that for the most part what people want is complexity and surprise and contradiction and their expectations challenged. So you tend to think, as a writer, "What stories and situations and people will take you surprising places?" In the case of Angels, at the time I started working on the play, I was intrigued by the fact that men were suddenly being asked to take care of very, very sick people and deal with a lot of illness and mortality that I think men have a hard time with. I think women are conditioned to deal with those sorts of situations better.
It was also a time when Reaganism was in its first flowering, and we were being told every day that the way to take care of other people is to be as selfish as you possibly can be and to take care of yourself, first and foremost. And I thought that was a kind of terrifying and fascinating irony, the fact that at the moment when people were being told every day how wonderful selfishness was and how we should all read Ayn Rand and we should all be trickle-down types, my community was being asked to learn skills at caretaking that did not come easily. And I thought it would be interesting to dramatize that by showing somebody who actually has a very, very hard time dealing with disease, as is true of many of us, and who actually can't handle it at first and learned.
When you say that people want complexity and the difficult storyline, do you think that's especially true of the theater audience? Because there's evidence in the culture that suggests that there are a lot of people who don't want that.
Well, I think that there are a lot of people who, of course, don't want that—what I would say rather is that there are people who think they don't want it. I mean, if you ask them, "Do you want to go to a film or to a play or pick up a novel and have all your most dearly held assumptions challenged?" most people will say, "No, I want to have a good time."
I'm not kidding myself, I mean yes, of course, it's much easier to find a theater audience that's interested in difficulty and complexity, but there are a lot of movies that—it's been a very good year for film. You look at the films that were nominated for the Oscar, and you know, There Will Be Blood is a very, very, very hard movie, and it didn't make as much money as Horton Hears a Who, but it's made a good deal of money, I think the most money a Paul Thomas Anderson film has ever made, and it's a very tough, very upsetting experience. But I think people went to it because of the sort of astonishing integrity of the thing. The success of The Sopranos, the success of a movie like There Will be Blood, I think suggests that there's an appetite for difficulty. It's never going to be, probably, as enormous as the appetite for pablum, but I don't think that pablum is all that people want.
On a much lighter note, you have a history with comic books, as do many of our generation. And so I have to have my comic-book geek conversation. What were some of your favorite comics as a kid growing up?
I was a big Marvel Comics fan. When I was a little kid—God, I can barely remember—I think Casper, the Friendly Ghost, and Wendy, the Good Little Witch, and what was the devil? Hot Stuff, I guess was his name. I liked those. By the time I got to be about nine years old or so, I discovered superhero comics—not the DC Comics, Batman, Superman bunch—and I really loved Marvel. I loved Spider-Man. I loved Fantastic Four. I loved Doctor Strange, Daredevil. I thought those were great. I liked those until I was like 11 or 12, I think.
Well, we clearly have nothing more to talk about because I was always a DC fan.
The man I'm married to was a DC fan. When Mark was a kid, he only read DC, so we've argued about this. It's just two different worlds. I maintain that the Marvel stuff was just more interesting, because there were all sort of anti-heroes. I mean they were always in trouble with the law. Batman has this great dark side now that they've done so much work in recent times, but when I was a kid, he was just—I mean he had a great costume, but other than that, another DC goody-goody. And Superman, who was unbelievably tedious, compared to the sort of psycho-pathology of Spider-Man. It wasn't very interesting, I thought.
I was reminded earlier today that you wrote the introduction to Howard Cruse's Stuck Rubber Baby.
Yeah! I love Howard's work very much, and I love Stuck Rubber Baby. I think it's a wonderful work. I felt it's never really gotten the audience that it deserved. I think he was a little ahead of his time. I own several of the original pages.
I actually at one point asked Howard if he'd like to do a comic book version of the play, of Angels in America, because in a certain sense graphic novels are plays—you write dialogue. But he was in the middle of Stuck Rubber Baby and he said, "Mmm, no thanks." I think it was somebody at DC maybe—I was asked at some point to maybe contribute to some sort of anthology comic book thing, and at some point I would love to try it.
There's one thing I didn't want to lead with because then we'd spend the whole time on. How are you feeling about the '08 election process so far?
I'm feeling basically OK about it. I think I'm like every Democrat. I'm concerned about the way that the primary battle between Clinton and Obama is playing out. I'm a little worried that if it goes on uninterrupted for another two or three months, that there's the possibility that they're going to start to do damage to one another, and at this point I have to honestly say that she's getting a little more reckless about it than he is. . . .
I think that both of them would make absolutely superb presidents. I think McCain will be pandering as he has in the last few years increasingly to the crazy part of his crazy party… . You know, he's an infinitely smarter person than George Bush and a worthier person, but he's got terrible problems. I can't imagine that either Obama or Clinton, barring some sort of scandal or something—I can't imagine that either one of them could lose to him. The most important thing right now is that whoever wins by the convention, everybody has to get behind them and everyone has to remember that no matter what you feel about the person who wins, no matter how angry you are that your person didn't win, it's immensely important that a Democrat is in the White House next year. I mean, I think the fate of the world—not to be too Marvel comic book about it—but I think the fate of the world depends upon it, I really do. I think we can't afford another disaster like this. I feel hopeful. I think one thing is that anyone who is running for president needs to really, really want to be president. And to really want to be president, you have to really believe that you are the person who should be in that place. So you can always wind up telling yourself—and your advisors are certainly going to say it to you—it doesn't matter if we destroy this other guy in the process. What matters is that you get the nomination. And when they start thinking like that, that's when you get into a problem situation.

PARAMILITARY SECURITY IN DEMAND
James Dao the New York TimesTHE ORLANDO SENTINEL
MOYOCK, N.C. -- Nestled inconspicuously amid the pinelands and horse farms of northeastern North Carolina lies a small but increasingly important part of the U.S. campaign to stabilize Iraq.
Here, at the 6,000-acre training ground of the security company Blackwater USA, scores of former military commandos, police officers and regular civilians are prepared each month to join the lucrative but often deadly work of providing security for corporations and governments in the toughest corners of the globe.
On Wednesday, four employees of a Blackwater unit -- all of them former U.S. military special-operations personnel -- were killed in an ambush in the central Iraqi city of Fallujah, their bodies mutilated and dragged through the streets by chanting crowds.
The scene, captured in horrific detail by television and newspaper cameras, shocked the nation and angered the tightly knit special-operations community.
But it also shed new light on the rapidly growing and loosely regulated industry of private paramilitary companies such as Blackwater that are replacing government troops in conflicts from South America to Africa to the Middle East.
"This is basically a new phenomenon: corporatized private military services doing the front-line work soldiers used to do," said Peter W. Singer, a national-security fellow at the Brookings Institution in Washington who has written a book on the industry, Corporate Warriors.
"And they're not out there screening passengers at the airports," he said. "They're taking mortar and sniper fire."
Though there have been private militaries since the dawn of war, the modern corporate version got its start in the 1990s after the collapse of the Soviet Union.
At that time, many nations were sharply reducing their militaries, leaving millions of soldiers without employment. Many of them went into business doing what they knew best: providing security or training others to do the same.
The proliferation of ethnic conflicts and civil wars in places such as the Balkans, Haiti and Liberia provided employment for many new firms. Business grew rapidly after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks prompted corporate executives and government officials to bolster their security overseas.
But the occupation of Iraq brought explosive growth to the young industry, experts said. There are now dozens, perhaps hundreds, of private military companies around the world.
As many as two dozen companies, employing as many as 15,000 people, are working in Iraq, providing security details for diplomats, private contractors involved in reconstruction, nonprofit organizations and journalists, experts and officials said. They also protect oil fields, banks, residential compounds and office buildings.
Though many of the companies are American, companies from Britain, South Africa and elsewhere are providing security in Iraq. Among them is Global Risks Strategies, a British company that hired Fijian troops to help protect armored shipments of the new Iraqi currency throughout the country.
Blackwater is typical of the new breed. Founded in 1998 by former Navy SEALs, the company said it has prepared tens of thousands of security personnel to work in hot spots around the world. At its complex in North Carolina, it has shooting ranges for high-powered weapons, buildings for simulating hostage-rescue missions and a bunkhouse where trainees can stay for $177 a night.
The installation is so modern and well-equipped that Navy SEALs stationed nearby at Little Creek, Va., routinely use it, officials said. So do police units from throughout the country, who come to Blackwater for specialized training.
"It's world-class," said Chris Amos, a spokesman for the Norfolk, Va., Police Department.
In Iraq, Blackwater trainees guard L. Paul Bremer, the head of the civilian administration, among other duties. Around Baghdad, the Blackwater guards, most in their 30s and 40s, are easily identified, with their heavily muscled upper bodies, closely cropped hair or shaved heads and wraparound sunglasses. Some even wear Blackwater T-shirts. Like special-operations forces, they use walkie-talkie earpieces with curled wires disappearing beneath their collars and carry lightweight semiautomatic weapons.
The rapid growth of the industry has come about in part because of the shrinkage of the U.S. military: There are simply fewer soldiers available to protect officials, diplomats and bases overseas, experts say.
To meet the rising demand, the companies are dangling salaries ranging from $100,000 to nearly $200,000 to entice senior military special-operations forces to switch careers. Assignments are paying from a few hundred dollars to as much as $1,000 a day, military officials said.
Gen. Wayne Downing, a retired head of the U.S. Special Operations Command, said that on a recent trip to Baghdad, he ran into several former Delta Force and SEAL Team Six senior noncommissioned officers who were now working for private-security companies.
"It was like a reunion," Downing said.

Ask Audrey Hackbarth about her alpacas and you'll get quite an answer. She will tell you about Terracotta, and the daughter she had, Saturn-Lee, and her daughter Jupiter-Lee. There is also Cinnamon Toast-Lee, Chiquita and her daughter Chi-Lee along with Brown Sugar-Lee, not to mention Corkscrew and Corn Dog. You get the picture; alpacas are Audrey's thing.
What happened next no one saw coming. "I got my first one, and I was hooked… 50 later." That's right. Hackbarth now has dozens of alpacas on her property. Smaller than a llama, alpacas are specifically bred for their fleece. Hackbarth can be described as a one woman wollen mill. "I shear them. I wash it. I card it. I spin it. I dye it. I weave it. I felt it. We make rugs. We make the slippers. You name it, we make it here," said Hackbarth.
And if there was a lesson learned from her foray into raising alpacas, it would be this. "You can't just have one potato chip, you have to have more." That's kind of what happened here with the alpacas.
