Fremont Assault Sends 2 Victims To Hospital, 1 With Multiple Stab Wounds
Filed Under:Assault, Fremont, Stabbing
FREMONT (CBS SF) — Fremont police are investigating an assault with a deadly weapon case that sent two men to the hospital Tuesday morning.
Officers responding shortly after 6 a.m. to a report of battery in the 42000 block of Osgood Road found blood at the scene and notified area hospitals.
About 10 minutes later a man who arrived at a local hospital with multiple stab wounds was taken to a trauma center. The man is in stable condition with wounds that are not life-threatening, police said.
About an hour after the first man came to the hospital, a second man who arrived for treatment of non-life-threatening injuries was determined to be the second person in the altercation, police said.
Police do not believe anyone else was involved and detectives are now investigating the alleged assault.

ICMP's Joanna McGowan soundtracks Radio X's Clap for our Carers ad
Home » News » ICMP's Joanna McGowan soundtracks Radio X's Clap for our Carers ad
ICMP's Joanna McGowan's track 'Wasteland' is the soundtrack to a new Radio X advert to promote the Clap for our Carers NHS campaign.
Our student-turned-tutor's song was originally released last September but has since been picked up by the broadcaster for its ad.
#Clapforourcarers is an initiative aimed at celebrating the work of the NHS during the coronavirus pandemic. Tonight (26th March), at 8pm people across the UK are encouraged to step outside and show their support and appreciation for our health service workers.
Commenting on the use of her song, Joanna said:
I felt honoured that Radio X would use my song in such an uplifting campaign to support our NHS. I have friends and family members working for the NHS, so have seen and heard from them that this is an increasingly busy and scary time. They really are doing us all proud.
"When I heard the advert I was just really flattered that someone somewhere decided that my track was the one to accompany such a positive message. I really hope people will hear it and take part in the campaign."
Previously, Joanna has released music via her own Pen to Paper Records, had tracks played by BBC Kent and Roundhouse Radio as well as worked with producer Jackson Dimiglio-Wood. His credits include collaborations with Shawn Mendes and The Libertines.
On the placement, Joanna said: "I'm not sure how it ended up on the radio. But I have been networking since forever and you lose track of who you've sent your music too.
It definitely demonstrates how if you just keep networking, eventually you will benefit from it, and I'm just lucky enough that in this instance it's been used at such an emotional time for such a positive campaign that I personally support."
Stay updated on Joanna's latest releases and watch the Radio X ad through her Facebook and Instagram pages. Find out more about the #Clapforourcarers campaign.

Once I get my coffee home, how should I store it to keep it as fresh as possible?
The enemy of coffee is air, moisture, heat and light. These factors increase the speed at which your coffee will become stale. Ground coffee has a much larger surface area, and this rate will be much faster. It is always recommended that you buy whole beans and grind only what you require.
Store in an airtight container in a dry, cool and dark place.
Which simply means keep your coffee in our resealable airtight bags and store in your pantry or cupboard.
Air – Coffee oils are a major source of the aroma and flavour. They are also volatile and when exposed to air evaporate easily and become rancid.
Moisture – Coffee absorbs moisture very easily, and on the surface will leach out the coffee oils exposing them to air.
Heat – Heat causes the beans to sweat out the oils to the surface, again exposing them to air.
Light – Light causes temperature variations and heat.
Fridge – Never store coffee in the fridge, it's full of moisture and odours.
Even if you use an airtight container, removing the beans will result in condensation.
Freezer – Never freeze coffee. The act of freezing and thawing causes moisture.
However, if you must store coffee for a long period of time, vacuum seal first, and only freeze and thaw once.

The first collectible card game based on Plants vs. Zombies is coming!
Plants vs. Zombies is making the jump to mobile with PopCap Games' latest announcement: Plants vs. Zombies Heroes, the latest addition to the PvZ Universe. And it's a bit of a doozy, if the initial information sent out with the announcement is to be believed.
In Plants vs. Zombies Heroes, players will be able to collect new and old PvZ characters by way of collectible card game. I suppose it was only a matter of time before the game really spread to another type of genre beyond tower defense and multiplayer shooters, and this seems like a great next logical step for the series. Are you going to be throwing your hat into the ring as a new combatant within the Plants vs. Zombies card game?

Michael Irvin: Bill O'Brien Compared DeAndre Hopkins, Aaron Hernandez in Meeting
Mike Chiari@mikechiariTwitter LogoFeatured ColumnistMarch 18, 2020
David J. Phillip/Associated Press
Hall of Fame wide receiver Michael Irvin provided some insight Wednesday on ESPN's Get Up regarding what may have led to DeAndre Hopkins' shocking trade from the Houston Texans to the Arizona Cardinals on Monday.
Irvin provided an account of a meeting between Hopkins and Texans head coach Bill O'Brien as told to him by the four-time Pro Bowl wideout:
Get Up @GetUpESPN
.@michaelirvin88 shared shocking details surrounding the relationship problems between Bill O'Brien and DeAndre Hopkins. https://t.co/mr33pvpfxC
"I said, 'Tell me what happened in Houston,' and he went into it. He told me, he said, 'Michael, it was a bit of a power struggle there' because Bill O'Brien thought, Coach O'Brien thought [Hopkins] had too much influence over the locker room. He called DeAndre Hopkins in a meeting to talk about this and, I kinda guess, hash it out. In that meeting, he started the meeting with telling DeAndre Hopkins this, that blew my mind when DeAndre told me this. He told DeAndre Hopkins, he said: 'Hey, the last time I had to have a meeting like this, it was with Aaron Hernandez.' I was like: 'What? He put in Aaron Hernandez in this meeting?' He said, 'Yes he did.' He said: 'Michael, that blew my mind that he would even bring that up. I've never been in any trouble. I don't know why would he equate me with Aaron Hernandez.'
"And from there, the meeting just deteriorated, you know. He got into talking about DeAndre Hopkins. DeAndre Hopkins has a few kids from different women, and he said, he told DeAndre he doesn't like that he has his 'baby mamas' around sometimes. And from that, I think the relationship just went bad, and thus, we got a trade of DeAndre Hopkins from Houston for basically, like I said earlier, a ham sandwich, all because of that relationship."
Hopkins later said the situation was "being blown way out of proportion."
Deandre Hopkins @DeAndreHopkins
This is being blown way out of proportion. As I've said before, I enjoyed and am proud of my time with the Texans. I have the utmost respect for Coach O'Brien and that will not change. Now, I'm ready to play for the Cardinals.
The trade, which will become official when the new league year starts Wednesday, reportedly saw Houston send Hopkins and a 2020 fourth-round pick to Arizona for running back David Johnson, a 2020 second-round pick and a 2021 fourth-round pick.
Hernandez was a tight end for the New England Patriots from 2010 to 2012. O'Brien was an offensive coach with New England from 2007 to 2011, serving as the quarterbacks coach in 2010 and the offensive coordinator in 2011.
Hernandez was arrested for the murder of Odin Lloyd in 2013 and convicted in 2015. He died by suicide in his prison cell in 2017.
Unlike Hernandez, Hopkins has no criminal history and was, by all accounts, a model citizen during his seven seasons as a member of the Texans.
Hopkins missed only two games in Houston, made four Pro Bowls and was named a first-team All-Pro three times. He reached the 1,000-yard mark five times and 100-catch mark three times.
The 27-year-old was Houston's leading receiver and quarterback Deshaun Watson's favorite target last season, finishing with 104 receptions for 1,165 yards and seven touchdowns. He made the All-Pro First Team and the Pro Bowl for the third straight season.
With Hopkins out of the fold, the Texans reportedly agreed to a contract with Randall Cobb and will move forward with a receiving corps comprised of Cobb, Will Fuller V, Kenny Stills and Keke Coutee.
Meanwhile, Hopkins will team with Larry Fitzgerald and Christian Kirk in Arizona, giving reigning Offensive Rookie of the Year Kyler Murray no shortage of weapons.
While O'Brien is 52-44 with four playoff appearances in his six seasons as Texans head coach, he has seemingly been on the hot seat for much of his tenure because of the team's inability to advance past the divisional round of the playoffs.
If O'Brien doesn't improve upon that and Hopkins thrives in Arizona, then his seat could be hotter than ever, especially given the controversial nature of his alleged meeting with Hopkins.


The Iberian Wolf, which we talked about in part 3 of our travel diary extract, has arrived in Estremadura along the ridge of the Sierra de Gredos mountain range west of Madrid but appears to have stopped there. To progress further, it will certainly have to face the particular land management and farming regime in the region.
This land management method is called dehesa, which means that the indigenous Mediterranean trees and scrub have been thinned and the undergrowth cleared. The remaining trees, mostly holly oaks and cork oaks, are pruned to encourage foliage spread (the resulting shade an extra bonus for the animals and grasses below).
This practice results in an environment similar to the African savannah, with fenced prairies where free-range cattle and sheep graze freely. Here, the pigs eat acorns and their meat is used to produce the renowned jamón ibérico, priced at 150 euros per kilogram!
Sometimes an area of dehesa is used as a hunting reserve, usually for deer, fallow deer, wild boar etc. At other times, it is partially cultivated to produce honey and aromatic hydrotherapic herbs.
For the nature lover, it is a magnificent sight: Estremadura is covered with woodland. This environment favours sustainable farming that is far removed from an industrial scale.
In this environment birds of every kind fly freely. While in winter you can spot tens of thousands of cranes, in summer the area is primarily occupied by storks and birds of prey of which Spain can boast the world's largest colonies of griffon vultures, cinereous vultures, Spanish imperial eagles, Bonelli's eagles and more.
In Italy (especially in Sardinia), many farmers will see birds of prey, including vultures, as potential "lamb predators". However, this kind of mentality seems to have be largely overcome in Spain.
However despite the positive climate in Spain, the dehesa isn't wolf-friendly; there is wide use of fences, traditional low stone walls, wire mesh and barbed wire, so pets, cattle or sheep can't get out, but the wolf could get in, and in that environment, it wouldn't have any means of defence.
There are also many natural protected areas, but they aren't very extensive. For instance, the Monfragüe national park, where deer graze, covers only 18.000 hectares.
Until a few years ago, Estremadura had a small population of the Iberian Lynx (Lynx pardinus), a subspecies, smaller than the European lynx, weighing between 8 and 14 kilos so not big enough to hunt domestic or wild ungulates (hooved mammals). Indeed, its prey of choice is rabbit, with occasional alternatives such as partridge and small mammals.
For this reason, the Lynx was generally tolerated better than the wolf but thanks to poaching, car accidents and myxomatosis in rabbits (which thinned out prey availability) the last lynx in the region has disappeared.
Thus, to find this particular species we must move south, to Andalucia, where we can find the surviving indigenous colonies in two national parks, Coto Doñana and Andujar. Also here, on the Sierra Morena, there is a small, thriving pack of wolves.
Looking at the size of guard dogs here, there still must be some wolves left in the Sierra Morena.
The type of farming in the region is similar to that in Estremadura but has slightly more hunting reserves. What's really different though are the wide-open spaces bordered by the Sierra Morena, a series of rolling hills covered in forests undulating north of Cordoba and running along an east-west axis for 450 kilometres.
In Andujar I am told that in addition to the large natural reserves like Coto Lugar Nuevo/Contadero, the fenced hunting reserves may well have kept the Lynx from extinction. But when I object that the fences didn't look natural at all and are an obstacle to the animals' freedom of movement, they just say that they are no big deal for the Lynx.
I reservedly accept these people's argument because to me the fences, often bent inwards and circled with barb wires, are not exactly easy to pass through.
In the next episode we will learn more about the wolf and the lynx's situation in Andalucia.


Laser Vision Correction has helped millions of people see without glasses and contacts since the initial FDA approval of PRK in 1995. Imagine a lifestyle free of the hassles of glasses and contact lenses. LASIK, All-Laser LASIK, and PRK are the main forms of laser vision correction. Dr. Ronald Gaster is a Beverly Hills and Huntington Beach laser vision correction expert, servicing Los Angeles and Orange County, who can perform these types of vision correction surgeries. With years of credible experience in ophthalmology and clinical research, he is happy to offer his patients the best in laser vision correction.
LASIK (Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis) is a form of outpatient corneal surgery in which a surgeon uses a specialized and precise flap-making instrument, called a microkeratome, to create a thin flap of corneal tissue with a metal blade. This flap is raised and laid back while still attached to the cornea. The surgeon then uses a state-of-the-art laser to remove a pre-determined amount of corneal tissue from the exposed bed of the cornea.
The amount of tissue to be removed is calculated based on the pre-operative determination of the power of your eye; these measurements are usually in agreement with recent prescriptions for your glasses and/or contact lenses. After the excimer laser treatment, the flap is repositioned. Usually, within a few hours, the surface epithelium of the cornea begins to grow over the cut edge of the flap to seal it into position. LASIK can be used to correct nearsightedness (myopia), farsightedness (hyperopia), and astigmatism.
The main difference between traditional LASIK and All-laser LASIK is that the flap that is required for LASIK surgery is created with a Femtosecond laser instead of the traditional microkeratome. This means that the LASIK flap is made with a laser instead of a metal blade. The technology used for All-laser LASIK at Dr. Gaster's practice is the IntraLase method and is a 100% blade-free.
The creation of the LASIK flap prepares the eye for the second step of the LASIK procedure, when another (different) laser, known as an excimer laser is used to correct vision. The safety results using IntraLase have been impressive with more patients receiving better and safer results than with a microkeratome blade. The all-laser treatment is available at our locations in Beverly Hills & Huntington Beach; serving Los Angeles and Orange County.
Hear from a few of Dr. Gaster's Beverly Hills LASIK patients.
PRK is a laser vision correction procedure and is similar to LASIK eye surgery but differs because there is no flap creation as in LASIK. Both PRK and LASIK use the excimer laser to reshape the cornea. PRK shapes the outer surface of the cornea with the laser while LASIK involves creating a flap and treating the inside of the cornea.
For eye surgery patients with irregular corneas, PRK surgery may be preferred to LASIK eye surgery for the correction of nearsightedness (myopia), farsightedness (hyperopia), and/or astigmatism. Unlike LASIK, PRK eye surgery doesn't require an incision in the cornea. For someone with unusually thin corneas, for example, this is a huge advantage since the long-term structural integrity of the eye is not likely to be compromised by PRK surgery.
What are the Advantages of PRK Eye Surgery?
PRK eye surgery is highly accurate in correcting many cases of nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. Results after 3 to 6 months are essentially equivalent to LASIK in published papers.
What are the Disadvantages of PRK Eye Surgery?
Mild to moderate discomfort, including eye irritation and watering, for one to three days following the procedure. Typically patients are 80% corrected at one month after surgery, and 95%-100% by three months after surgery. LASIK, in contrast, corrects vision much faster and with less pain postoperatively.

It is interesting to note for instance that although the top 1000 sites tend to be more complex (see #DOM elements) and feature-rich than the overall web site population, their performance numbers (per time to first byte, start render and onLoad) are better. This is likely because they, often with Akamai's assistance, track and set targets for their main pages' performance numbers and tune their code and Akamai configuration accordingly.

What happens when a brainstorm collides with a perceived community need and students with a passion for service? You end up with exciting programs such as the The D-B YES! club, of course!
Back in 2015, Roosevelt Elementary school counselor Alice Browder and Jackson Elementary family liaison Jaclyn Clendenen saw the potential for a unique peer mentoring program, in which Dobyns-Bennett students would connect with KCS elementary students that could benefit from having an older, positive role model. Since that time, junior and senior students who are members of the D-B YES! club have left school for a period of time during the day to travel to elementary schools and mentor younger students. It's a terrific opportunity for elementary students to receive guidance and support from a new friend who can relate to them on a more personal level.
The program has been a booming success! All across the district, students are making meaningful connections with their peers with incredibly positive results. This week, let's look at six bits of info about the D-B YES! program.
Since beginning in Fall 2015, over 300 Dobyns-Bennett and D-B EXCEL students have participated in YES! and mentored a younger KCS student.
Giving an average of 15 hours a semester, the total number of hours volunteered by D-B students through the YES! club is quite impressive… 2,250 hours in 2015-16, 3,450 hours in 2016-17, and an anticipated 3,900 hours this school year!
Over 350 elementary students throughout KCS have received mentoring and support from a YES! mentor. The relationships established have made a significant difference for so many children!
Currently, D-B YES! mentors are in all KCS elementary schools, impacting lives all throughout the district.
Student meentees benefit greatly from the relationships developed with their high school peer mentors. These benefits extend far beyond the friendships developed, and include improved attendance, social and communication skills, academic achievement, and self esteem.
Benefits are also felt by the high school student mentors. They share they have felt an increased sense of pride, an increased awareness of education as a possible career path, and have gained volunteer hours for organizations such as Beta Club, TN/VA scholars, and TN Promise.
Want to learn more about the D-B YES! program? Contact Roosevelt school counselor Alice Browder for more information at abrowder@k12k.com.

Has anyone replaced the sliding closet doors? What kind of material did you use? Where did you get the new track, door and hardware?
We are interested in replacing our doors. The metal frames and the grasscloth were painted and are not very attractive anymore.
Not sure about the hardware, but the grasscloth wallpaper can be found at home depot. I just bought some from there that is near original and close enough for me. Since it is wallpaper is should be easy to pop off the wood insert panels, remove the wallpaper, and install the new.
If you are interested let me know and I can get the name of the company that makes the wallpaper.
If you could also email me that would be great, ayoung@orrick.com. We have mirror covered closet doors in three of the bedrooms and I want to re-cover them with grass cloth.
I have water damage on my grass cloth closet doors (two bedrooms!). I would be very interested in finding out how your project to "wallpaper" the doors turned out. Please e-mail me if you can at ctanaka@attbi.com.
Thank you. Any information would be appreciated!
is this home depot grasscloth wallpaper wider than 36"? I've found that some of my closet doors are wider than the standard wallpaper and grasscloth papers.
However, I did find at the local fabric store that the jute burlap is almost an exact match for us in texture, but not in color.
I have a set of original closet doors that are in my garage.
One set is natural, one set is painted white. I only need one set.
I just replaced two sets with white trim mirrored doors from Yardbirds.
It took a short time to install them and I really like the results.
$150 per set for 8 foot tall by 5 foot wide doors.
Hello. ISO clues to strategy for replacing/modifying Eichler closet door tracks to accommodate installation of modern bypass doors.If you have removed the old (ceiling mounted) tracks, how did you replace the top tracks to install new bypass doors? - Please send email reply to yoloinbc@gmail.com - Thank you!


An Occupy Phoenix protester leads a chant in front of the Bank of America in Phoenix Friday night during a march to kick the Phoenix edition of the Occupy protests.
About 300 people, from button downed office workers to anarchists marched through central Phoenix Friday evening to start the Occupy Phoenix that organizers hope will last through the autumn. The protest has been organized to support the Occupy Wall Street protest that has been going on in lower Manhattan since September 17. Protesters have a list of issue, but they are most angered by the growing economic inequality in the US, with the very rich getting richer while the middle class shrinks and working class falls further and further behind. The banks are a special target of protesters' ire. They are angry that the largest banks, which arguably caused the recession and economic meltdown, have gotten billions in federal assistance but, protesters claim, are now not lending or reinvesting in the community.
These protests are sweeping the country and have been called the "American Autumn" just as protests in the Arab world earlier this year have come to be called the "Arab Spring." The march in Phoenix was spirited but peaceful and the protesters were looking forward to the occupation which starts Saturday.
There are more photos of the protest in my archive and available from ZUMA Press.

Foreign Exchange Exposure Definition: Foreign Exchange Exposure refers to the risk associated with the foreign exchange rates that change frequently and can have an adverse effect on the financial transactions denominated in some foreign currency rather than the domestic currency of the company.
A foreign exchange hedge is a type of financial derivative, which gives companies a means of eradicating, or "hedging", their cash flows against foreign exchange risk. The most popular hedging products include forward contracts, futures and options.
The noun FOREIGN EXCHANGE has 1 sense: 1. the system by which one currency is exchanged for another; enables international transactions to take place Familiarity information: FOREIGN EXCHANGE used as a noun is very rare.
The Foreign Exchange Market is a global, worldwide, decentralized financial market for trading currencies. Financial centers around the world function as anchors of trading between a wide range of different types of buyers and sellers around the clock, with exception of weekends.
Foreign exchange market is composed of different participants, also called Forex market players, who trade on the market for quite various reasons. This means that participating in Forex market transactions does not take place simply for speculative purpose.
Some countries' governments, instead of floating, "fix" their exchange rate, at least for periods of time, which means that the government's central bank is an active trader in the foreign exchange market.
Hedging means the avoidance of a foreign exchange risk. In a free exchange market when exchange rate, i. e., the price of one currency in terms of another currency, change, there may be a gain or loss to the party concerned.

Short Story Club: Mortu and Kyrus
This week, Alexandru Constantin sent out the call for a new review circle:
One of my goals here at The Dacian is to foster an environment rich in community and discussion, a network of readers and writers that share that can discuss novels, short stories, movies, and art across multiple platforms.
The Short Story Book Club is simple, every two weeks or so I will pick a short story for us to read and discuss across our blogs and social media. The idea is to foster conversation and promote the sort of work I find aesthetically and intellectually interesting. My hope is twofold, first I want to create a sort of intellectual back and forth that elevates the critical discussion around the work in order to build a critical framework for analyzing pieces from a counter-cultural conservative perspective. Second, by building a body of critique and discussion I hope to bring attention to both the work itself and to the larger community that for the most part lies outside the mainstream.
The first story is an old favorite that deserves more recognition:
The first story I want to read and discuss is Schuyler Hernstrom's Mortu and Kyrus in the White City from his brand new collection The Eye of Sounnu.
Hernstrom's writing is the fantasy version of an underground death metal LP that you can only pick up at an invite-only exclusive show held in some cave in the middle of dark wood. Every story in his new collection is unbeatable but Mortu and Kyrus, while not my top favorite, is not only a fantastic ass-kicker but a direct assault on the moral degeneracy of mainstream science fiction and fantasy.
In the spirit of the discussion, I am reposting my initial review a beloved modern sword & sorcery classic.
"Come then, try my steel and I will send you to hell where you belong. The gods of my people look down upon those that prey on the weak. There is no honor in it. There is no honor in you. I will enjoy killing you."–Mortu
In Mortu and Kyrus in the White City, Schuyler Hernstrom returns to sword and sorcery, blending Dying Earth, Mad Max, and even a little Shaw Briothers kung fu into a future Earth recovering from the heavy hand of an alien overlord. The namesakes Mortu and Kyrus, a pagan motorcycle barbarian from the North and a Christian monk from Zantyum respectively, are on a quest to break the sorcerer's spell that chains Kyrus into the form of a monkey. On the long road, they find a caravan attacked by nomads and a wayward Christian knight. Mortu and Kyrus intervene with a few sharp strokes of Mortu's axe, and in gratitude, the caravan invites the duo to their White City. Within moments of their arrival, Mortu and Kyrus are swept up in the dark secrets beneath the foundations of the City.
Following in the well-worn path of sword-and-sorcery duos inspired by Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser, Mortu and Kyrus split the questing responsibilities in the traditional way. When presented with a mystery, Kyrus, as befitting a trickster or a thief, discovers why the mystery happens, while dour Mortu is called in to make sure the mystery ends. But Mortu is more in the mold of Conan than Fafhrd, a barbarian suspicious of civilization, not infatuated with it. Kyrus is a blend of Eastern and Western monk archtypes, a true believer, but a wandering monk nonetheless, full of the trickery and misfortune that such monks herald. Laudably, Hernstrom does not take the easy route and make Kyrus a hypocrite.
But then Hernstrom refuses the easy path throughout Mortu and Kyrus. None of the Christian characters are treated as hypocrites and monsters, a rarity in a genre that has long been hostile to Christianity (as E. Hoffman Price's The Book of the Dead reveals). He treats the Cross as a civilizing force and a general good, although one Mortu still remains skeptical if it is an absolute good. While this is the first adventure available to readers, this is not an origin story. Mortu and Kyrus's relationship is presented as established, and we are not forced to follow detailed stories of how Mortu and Kyrus met, how Kyrus got turned into a monkey, or of Mortu's earlier life as a solo adventurer. At best, we see quick mentions, no more than needed in the course of brief conversation. The departure from current fashion is refreshing, and it hints at a greater world beyond the White City. Hernstrom deftly balances the mysteries of his wider world with the immediacy of sword and sorcery action. He accomplishes more worldbuilding with a few scraps of description than most writers accomplish with paragraphs of exposition. The effect is reminiscent of Vance's The Last Castle, where entire swaths of human history are revealed in snatches of description and custom.
If Mortu and Kyrus seems a bit more predictable than Hernstrom's previous works, it is because he has stepped up to the Great Conversation, "the ongoing process of writers and thinkers referencing, building on, and refining the work of their predecessors." Here, readers can see the outlines of Ursula Le Guin's "The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas", a particularly notable short work dealing with the dilemma of a hedonistic Eden fueled by the suffering of one innocent. The ones who cannot accept that their paradise requires the intentional suffering and neglect of a child walk away from the city, unwilling to benefit from his suffering, but unwilling to rescue the child. Omelas has been a popular parable in science fiction, revisited time and again, and by such notable shows as Doctor Who. At best, the protagonists rescue the child, but leave the society intact. Few, if any, render judgement against the people who benefited from the abuse of the child, nor prevent that society from finding a new child to torment for their pleasures. Mortu settles the Omelas dilemma with an older, more satisfying approach:
"You may talk of cities and justice all you wish. Tonight, the pagan wins. My anger will be sated and these wicked people brought to ruin."
It is the approach of the hero, the pagan barbarian, and the Christian knight, illustrated in blood and adrenaline. One where actions matter more than intentions, and honor has meaning.
Fortunately, Mortu and Kyrus in the White City promises to be the first of many adventures for the barbarian biker and the monkey monk. Whether Hernstrom sets out to gore more sacred cows or just let Mortu gore more villains, I eagerly await the next.
So that was back in 2018. What about now?
Time has not dulled my love for this series, nor my wait for more adventures. Mortu's rage still provides eminently quotable lines that still run true. And others have spoken to better effect about Omelas and the moral aspects of Mortu and Kyrus.
Instead, let us turn to a different aspect of Hernstrom's writing.
Alexandru Constantin has complained before that much of today's writing style is too thin to support the heft of many story's themes, ideas, and action. Until recently, I had yet to see that. Until "The Battlefield of Kerres" by Jim Breyfogle. The adventures of Mongoose and Meerkat are somewhat undermined by today's contemporary classic style, although later stories are growing into something stylistic that matches the stories. Other authors have had the same problem, including a good many taught by the community around the Life, the Universe, and Everything writers' convention. There are good lessons for craft from those circles, but the style taught there is plain, transparent, and so thin that the outline blocks and concepts can be seen like a skeleton beneath the prose.
Sky Hernstrom instead uses a deliberate style to give Mortu and Kyrus an otherworldly almost dreamlike tone that carries the moral dilemma and axe and sorcery forward to its conclusion. Mortu's dialogue is quotable, not because it is clever or whimsical, as too many writers try for, because it is heroic, with care to the best phrasing possible. I will leave it to others more skilled in English to dissect the Hernstrom style, but read a long section of Mortu and Kyrus, The Gift of the Ob-Men, or The Law of the Wolves out loud. You will hear the difference and how a heroic style gives heroic deeds more impact.
I remain in awe of Hernstrom's ability to imply entire civilizations worth of history in only a couple sentences. If there is one regret to the past couple years since Mortu and Kyrus was originally published, it is that the original cover is no longer used for the story. But the increased reach offered to Hernstrom by DMR Books is worth that sacrifice.

But for a timely rescue two baby boys named Robert Elliott and Albert Newman, would in all probability have been killed on the Great Central Railway last Thursday. The infants had wandered from the back yard of Mrs Elliott's home in Chester Street onto the bridge just as a train was approaching. Seeing the danger from the woodyard at the bottom of South Street, Harold Meanwell scaled a corrugated iron fence, raced down the line and snatched them out of harms way.
At a meeting of Rugby Tape Recording Society on Thursday last at the Central Hotel, recordings were made for the society's archives of three talks. Member Mr CG Handford spoke about the Salvation Army, in which he is involved. Miss MC Heyes, the Warwickshire County Council home teacher of the blind in the Rugby area spoke about her work and Mr Michael Dawson, warden of the Percival Guildhouse spoke about its history. It was also decided to make a feature tape about the work of the Percival Guildhouse.
Rugby police are losing their battle against crime. In the first seven months of this year crime has shot up by more than a quarter in Rugby and a third across the county. This year 2,268 crimes went unsolved in the Rugby area, compared with 1,614 in the same period last year. The highest increases involved thefts from and of vehicles. Of the area's 22 sexual assaults, 12 went undetected. Last year there were 14 and the files left open on only one.

Henry W. Kendall, "Finding Quarks With Electron Beams" - LNS46 Symposium: On the Matter of Particles
KENDALL: Thank you very much, Francis. Yesterday, Francis took me aside and said, in very earnest terms, I very much want you to give a good talk, Henry.
I said, well, I will do the best I can. I can't promise anything. I think it's an unrealistic expectation. People have unrealistic expectations from time to time in our society, and that reminded me, actually, of a bumper sticker that I saw here some time back. It said, in clear block letters, US out of North America. Without arguing the merits of that case or the lack of merit, it did seem, like Francis's suggestion, to be somewhat unrealistic.
The subject of the talk today-- the subject, certainly, is well known, I'm sure, to most of you in the audience. It is a series of experiments that were carried out at Stanford by an MIT/SLAC collaboration that started in the early 1960s. It started to take data in the deep inelastic reaction in 1968, and wound down in the early 70s rather slowly. It was a very interesting series of experiments for the people in it. We enjoyed it enormously at the time. We were aware of how much fun it was to do that.
Part of this has to do with what Martin and other people-- Martin Deutsch in his earlier talk, and others-- referred to as the golden age. And if you remember the rather poignant financial diagram that Bill Wallenmeyer showed at lunch the other day, you remember that the funds, in what I referred to as the golden age, climbed up in the period up to about 1970, and then coasted down again, and leveled out for some years. So the golden age is associated, at least in some part, with another translation of the word gold, which is "gelt," which was the funds that kept it all going. And it really was, in many ways, an era which had, for a period, apparently unlimited possibilities.
The MIT/SLAC collaboration was the collaboration-- part of this was initiated by Jerry and myself in the early 1960s. We had both worked at Stanford and been on the Stanford faculty, working in Robert Hofstadter group on electron scattering, and when the large machine-- the two mile accelerator-- was being contemplated, and in fact, construction plans were being laid, we wrote Pief Panofsky a letter and said we would like to join in that group, almost all of whom were our old friends.
Well, it was not just the two of us that were involved. This is a list of the collaborators in that, and I've taken the liberty-- because this is an LNS camp gathering-- to underline in red those people who either were at MIT at the time of the collaboration or had been educated at MIT, and you could see there were enough of us so the SLAC people could not reliably get away with anything.
We-- Jerry and I, particularly-- were enormously well, bountifully supported, not just financially-- although that seemed to be the tenor of the time-- but also, in some sociological sense, by the physics department under then-chairman Bill Buckner, who many of us remember. He basically allowed Jerry and me to become a single hyphenated professor in the department, and we were able to split the travel to SLAC between us in any way we chose. I, being single at the time, over not quite 10 years, spent nearly a third of my time out there. It was one of the first big, heavy-duty collaborations that people in the physics department had engaged in, and it set the tone for a lot of the subsequent good collaborations that have occurred between LNS people and work at distant accelerators.
Now, to begin, to lead into the subject of electron scattering, both of us, Jerry and I, as I said, had been with Hofstadter's group. Hofstadter's principal and quite great contribution was to study the elastic scattering of high energy electrons from the proton and from the neutron, and in summary, the sort of thing he found was that as you increase the momentum transfer, the observed scattering cross-sections coasted down much faster with momentum transfer than one would expect from the scattering of a point charge. And this is due directly to the fact that, as you increase the momentum transfer, the contributions to the outgoing wave from components distributed over space interfere more and more and give you this dramatic decrease.
And this is interpreted, and was interpreted at the time, as the result of the finite distribution and finite structure of the proton. And later experiments have carried that curve out further. And unlike the nuclear atom, there was no hint in this extended data of any hard single center in the proton. And there were physicists who concluded publicly that therefore, the proton had no hard constituents and no core in it. At least, certainly not a single core.
Now, the reaction, which we studied was the inelastic scattering of electrons. This is the Feynman diagram for them. The electron travels along here in vacuum. There is a single interaction. Here comes the proton. There is some momentum transfer, which can, in the laboratory, be adjusted, so that one knows what it is. There is an energy transfer-- just the difference between the incoming and outgoing electron energies. And there is some amount of energy communicated to the proton-- or neutron, as the case may be-- in simply blowing it up. And that becomes, in the inelastic case, a variable, which is subject to adjustment. And you study the cross-sections over a range of inelasticities.
This is a set of all-purpose equations that govern the process, because the elastic scattering is unique in that there is no energy communicated to the struck system, except recoil energy. The inelasticity here has a unique value, which is for that reaction alone. Momentum transfer is given here. I don't need to go over these equations in detail, except to note one or two features that I'll come to later and use in some of the later slides.
Much of the development of the central scattering equation depends on known quantum electrodynamics and it is not a subject of investigation. But the unknown structure of the target system is buried in these two functions-- W2 and W1, each of them, in principle, a function of two variables, the inelasticity nu and the momentum transfer.
Now, without going into the details of it, if you look at the scattering in terms of virtual transverse and longitudinal photons, there is a quantity of interest, which was measurable as in some of the later stages of our experiments, which is conventionally called R, the ratio of the longitudinal to the transverse yields. And it turned out, as we will see in a minute, to be useful to determine that because of the role it played in the validity of some of the models.
Now it's one thing to write down a Feynman-- diagram that is simply paperwork, but to get at the heart of these measurements, you need equipment. And this is not Martin Deutsch's tabletop equipment anymore. Here is the two-mile linear accelerator at Stanford. This is Route 285, which is indeed out of the radiation field. It is also not true that the San Andreas fault cuts across the accelerator line. It is, in fact, a quarter of a mile from the gun.
This machine, the actual accelerator itself, is roughly 40 feet underground. It was at the time-- and may still be-- the single largest single-cantilevered structure that the human race has constructed. And at the time the device was built, it was certainly the most precise machine of any sort that had been built. The beams, after the acceleration was completed-- which would be below that point roughly on the diagram-- were sent into a beam switchyard and could be energy analyzed and deflected into one of several laboratories. This early picture does not show the colliding beam facilities that were installed later.
Our experiments were done with a deflection toward the north into this rather large 250-foot shielded building. These beams are biologically very potent, and the whole building was heavily shielded. One could not go in it during machine operation. The emergent beam came out through a pipe here, and then was buried in the hill. This hill never got the quixotic names that the earlier hill had in the High Energy Physics Laboratory, where it was called Mount Panofksy. And rumors were that giant mutant frogs would lope around in the evening, having been affected by the radiation.
You will instantly recognize this diagram as an experimentalist's Feynman diagram. And like the earlier Feynman diagram, the initial beam comes down here in vacuum. In our case, in an aluminum pipe. I'm tempted to refer to it as the false vacuum, but it really isn't. It's an imperfect vacuum.
Electrons are reflected in a hydrogen target there into a large one, or another magnetic spectrometer, which were built for the purpose. The detector arrays enable one to determine the precise scattering angle. Actually, a number of scattering angles were accepted by the equipment and determined by the detectors. The recoil system in our experiments was let go by itself. We made no attempt to do coincidences or to study it at all.
This is just one diagram one of the two large detectors that we used. They were fairly substantial devices. The primary beams came down here and were measured, brought to foci, their intensities determined, positions monitored, and so forth with liquid hydrogen targets. They were typically 9 inches or a foot in diameter or so, some smaller, some larger, and upward, a double flat magnet bend into a substantial shielded detector housing.
These devices are not large now, by the conventional detector sizes used at the collider, but at the time, they were very large instruments, weighing of the order, with the shielding, of several thousand tons. These things opened up like clam shells, giving us access to the elements. MIT did much of the detectoral design and construction, as well as the electronic systems in the counting house.
Now, let us leave the experimenters to their switches and fuses for a minute, and turn to a theoretical interlude, which I'll call the 1968 hadron, which is the scene, so to speak, at the time our experiment started. As far as the experimental situation was concerned in the late 1950s and 1960s, there had been a remarkable series of discoveries that involved identifying dozens of hadrons-- hydronic resonances at the strong interaction machines.
There had been quite a body of work done studying pion and proton scattering from nucleon targets, and the energies not being as high as they are now available, it turns out that those studies showed what you would call soft constituents and soft interactions. Namely, cross-sections which decreased exponentially with increasing perpendicular momentum. And coupled with the Hofstadter results, the general picture of the hadron was a rather soft device, which underwent what you would call soft interactions.
With respect to classification, Murray Gell-Mann and others had helped elaborate the so-called eightfold way, which had classified these numerous new discoveries into identifiable and sorted arrays. And in 1964, Gell-Mann, and independently, George Zweig proposed that the basis for these classification schemes could be constructed with a mathematical entity which Murray called quark.
There's been some discussion about the origin of the name, and from its inventor, I will tell you that he invented the name first, out of blue sky as a word. Just a sound, which he would have spelled Q-U-O-R-K. Later, he found the word used in-- I think it was, what? Finnegan's Wake. And he adopted that spelling, but retained the old pronunciation. So that's where it came from.
They had the unusual property of requiring fractional charges, and it was quite a successful scheme, theoretically. The proposal of quarks stimulated a number of quarks searches, which went on for a number of years. And quarks were searched for in cosmic rays without success. They were searched for by hopefully being produced in accelerators and identified there without success. And they were searched for in an array of experiments reminiscent of the Millikan oil drop experiment, searching for fractional charges without success.
Separately, there was a body of theory-- the S-matrix theory-- with a number of elaborations, which dealt quite well with the then-known scattering cross-sections of various kinds. Among these, and I don't want to go into them in great detail, was vector meson dominance. Because of the failure to identify isolated quarks in the various classes of experiments in which they had been searched for, the proposition that nucleons were, in fact, constructed of quarks had a rather rough time.
There was a very small industry that looked at the proposition and tried to calculate the nucleon properties and resonance properties, based on what was called-- is called-- the constituent quark model. And the constituent quark model was, to some extent, different than the quarks that were required as the basis of the classification schemes. And this constituent quark model attracted very, very few adherents and proponents. A few people persisted-- Dalitz, Morpurgo, and others-- primarily dealing with low-energy actions of one sort or another and hadron characteristics, but not attempting to push these to high-energy, high-momentum transfer reactions.
The reason that most of the theoretical community-- including, incidentally, some of its very distinguished members-- found that the whole proposition of constituent quarks was unattractive was based, as I mentioned, partly on the idea, partly on the experimental evidence that nobody had produced them or seen them. Also, on the theoretical requirement that in order to be satisfactory in the models, they had to employ very, very strong binding, which was upsetting.
And the problem is that while these things were expected to be spin and a half, they had symmetric statistics, which was troublesome. And of course, the fractional charge violated every piece of experimental evidence that had, before that time, been accumulating. Now, some of these constraints were removed in some theories, but nevertheless, the aggregate of them made a constituent quark picture quite unattractive. And it generally not believed.
One other thread was the set of theories called her current algebra. It was initiated by Murray Gell-Mann, and was a quite abstruse theory. The experimenters in our group-- I think we generally did not understand it really very well. And it did not play any real part in its predictions in the planning of our experiment. But it did have one current, so to speak, that affected us later. Based on the current algebra ideas, there was started, first by Adler, and then Gross, and Llewellyn Smith and others, a sum rule industry. And Jim Bjorken, who was an old friend, became involved in that, and used those techniques to predict something which I will come back to later, called scaling.
So to summarize the 1968 hadron, there was, at best, a rather cloudy idea of the dynamics. There was a quark model whose successes were in the mathematical domain, but whose practical application as constituents was simply not really believed. There were a number of candidates with theories which, in principle, would apply to the sorts of reactions we were about to study. One of them, as I mentioned, was vector meson dominance-- Sam has talked about that-- a heavy photon, if you like.
The reason it was a live candidate was because it had been quite successful in processes that involve real photons, and as I've noted on this view graph here, many people believed that it would succeed in dealing with the virtual photons, which we could adjust in our experiments to be quite far off the mass shelf. Nevertheless, the expectation is that this process would happily let us understand the deep inelastic cross-section. And one of the consequences of adopting this view was that it was not expected that one would see anything more than a continuously fuzzy proton and neutron.
A couple of quotations on the possibility of real quarks being constituents of nucleons and other strongly interacting particles-- this is a remark of Murray Gell-Mann's, or two remarks taken from a Physics Letters paper of 1964, in which it is quite clear from what he said that while he doesn't utterly reject the idea that there might be constituents in there, he certainly doesn't think that's the first thing. He's certainly not saying, well, I think they're there. Go look for them, folks. Quite the opposite. And an even stronger statement in Kokkede's book on the quark model, in which he almost refers to the idea in scathing terms, referring to it as tentative and simplistic expression and ill founded.
Well, so I think one could feel that we were not too badly off-base designing equipment to study the rather low cross-sections that were expected on the basis of the current thinking. When we got to make the first inelastic measurements, we found something quite surprising. This is one of the first surprises. And this is the earliest data in which we observed it-- as a function of momentum transfer horizontally, two different cuts at 2 GeV and 3. You see the data moving across here with hardly any momentum transfer dependence at all, and compared with this, just arbitrarily normalized. The consequences of elastic scattering and the enormous decrease in yield-- that is a consequence of the finite structure of the aggregate proton when it is undisturbed in the elastic reaction.
So this was certainly a discovery. And when the dust had settled and we had a chance to look around later and compare what our measurements were with what our earlier expectations had been, we found this. Measurements that were enormous. predictions on which the experimental equipment had been based. Lo, there's a factor of over 40 here. This was taken at a primary energy of 16 GeV, primary electrons at a scattering angle of 6 degrees. Such deviations become even more pronounced at larger momentum transfer.
The second discovery, in a sense, it was directly suggested to us. I happened to be doing the data analysis at the time, so I was by chance the fellow that first saw this. What happened was we-- and I-- had been looking at the inelastic spectra. And here are six of them at different-- this is now plotted in a different way than the earlier graph. Each of these spectra is at a constant momentum transfer, and it's plotted as a function of energy laws.
These are the two independent variables that you have, in principle, available. And you can see on this plot that the data scatters around. And you can take my word that if one expends the range of momentum transfer, the rest of this region in here eventually gets filled with data, and there's no obvious pattern in that.
Jim Bjorken came to see me one day, and in his rather gentle, hesitant way, he had something very powerful to say. He said, well, why don't you look at the data that you have accumulated as a function of a single variable, a combination of nu and Q squared, and see whether this doesn't explain, in a consolidated way, what you are measuring. And I did that.
There was one parameter in this that we did not, at that stage, know, not having any measurements of it-- that was that quantity R that I mentioned earlier, the ratio of longitudinal to transverse. I took that data and plotted it for the two limiting cases, R equal infinity and R equals zero. And what happened was a spectacle. I mean, essentially under my eyes, this data consolidated into a compact universal curve for either of the two limiting cases.
And I remember at the time the little tingle I had looking at this, and I recall thinking how Bohr must have-- not Boher, but Balmer must have felt when, with his empirical expression, whose origins he had no idea of theoretically, he had found this beautiful understanding of the series in the hydrogen atomic spectrum. So it was clear that B.J. had really gotten his hands on something here. And that was scaling. And this is the first plot that you see here, was the discovery of scaling deep in the last electron scattering.
As time went on and as the program advanced, we got much better data. We were able to unscramble and separate the contributions from the two inelastic form factors that I mentioned. Each of them turned out indeed to be a function of a single variable. I'll come to its specifications in a minute. But you see them here, consolidating a wide range of new and Q squared in two relatively universal curves.
Now, as the experiments continued and became more precise and we got more data, it was found that there were minor variations-- that this was not an absolutely strict rule. There was some scale breaking, but it was of a very small character compared to the gross scaling that was observed. So this has ultimately become, effectively, almost a law of nature.
Now, to be specific about what B.J. had done, as I mentioned, based on rather arcane application of current algebra, he had predicted what now bears his name-- the Bjorken scaling and the Bjorken limit. And to be specific, in the limit in which the energy loss goes to infinity, the momentum transfer likewise goes to infinity-- that as this ratio is held fixed to M nu over Q squared, that the quantity omega becomes the variable on which these structure functions depend.
I'll pass over the lower part, which is elaborated in this next slide, because it was not very long after those first measurements, when people were scratching their head over their meaning, that Feynman came up to visit us in the summer of 1964 and heard about these measurements. And he had been attempting to understand hadron-hadron interactions on the basis of a constituent model-- not quarks, just constituent parts of a proton, which he gave the obvious name partons to. And Feynman went down to his motel for the night after talking to Jerry and others, and the next day, he came back full of interest and excitement, and with the following picture that the electron virtual photon was interacting with a parton, nature unknown.
And one explained the large cross-sections by the fact that these partons were soon to be, essentially, point particles. That took care of that part of the paired discoveries. And second, that the scaling variable came directly out of this picture, because we were scattering elastically from one or another of the particles in there, which were point-charged scattering, the difference between scattering off of one of those and the proton being that A, they carried some fraction-- each of them-- of the proton's mass, and they were in motion. And the scaling variable is, in fact, just that relation which I showed you earlier for elastic scattering from the proton with the single proviso that you have a quantity in there, x, or it is an x. It represents a fractional mass, which is that fraction of the proton's momentum that the parton happened to be carrying when it was struck, and it is struck as, essentially, a free particle.
This is a picture that I happened to snap of Feynman when he came back late that fall. This is a muddy Xerox of it, but there is a color picture over in the Johnson Center, where you can see it in better detail with his enormous vitality and interest. And In that October, he gave his first public talk on the parton theory, the parton not yet being identified with quarks.
It was a joy to see him operate. Here is a little paragraph from the book he wrote where he put these things together a few years later. Those of you who knew him can kind of visualize the enthusiasm he brought to it. I mean, look at the wording of this-- "an exciting adventure to try the idea" that these things are simply quarks, and to meet and surmount the then-still outstanding obstacles to that interpretation.
Well, the experiments did not stop there. It was a program that went on for a number of years. And the stimulation of these results into the theoretical community initiated a very interesting, almost fascinating interplay of theory and experiment, which went on for a number of years. And eventually drawing in other laboratories with other confirming measurements, the experiments experimental results were themselves never challenged, and were confirmed as other laboratories looked at similar analogous reactions.
But the interpretations took a long while to develop. It was like watching the grass grow, in total contrast to Richter's discovery of the psi particle, the J/psi, where at 4:00 in the morning, very little was happening, except the humdrum, incremental studying of counting rates, and by 8 o'clock, they were breaking open champagne bottles and putting vodka in the orange juice. This is quite different, in our case.
But within a few years-- no, very quickly, almost the same year-- Callan and Gross showed that in the framework of this Feynman parton model, that you could begin to get a handle on the spins of the constituents, that a particular combination of these form factors was one if the spin was a half and zero if it was zero. And remember, the mathematical quarks were to be spin one, and very quickly, we had an experimental result. You see the red line is the prediction for spin a half, the green line is spin zero, and you have no problem deciding on that one.
The vector meson dominance proposal didn't last very long, either. They, too, ran afoul of some measurements. Very soon, we were able to make determinations of R not only for the proton, but for the deuteron, and by subtraction, for the neutron itself. The vector meson dominance predictions went up in here. There was some uncertainty of the angle, but strikingly different expected behavior than the data showed. And there went the vector dominance models.
Well, as I mentioned, this interplay of theory and experiment continued on with more measurements involving the nucleon now-- that is, our deuteron and neutron measurements. And let me just wind this down by going on a brief historical tour of what happened during the decade of the 1970s after the original discovery.
I've told you about the early theoretical circumstances. SLAC itself had been proposed in the period when many of the resonances were being discovered for the first time. The classification schemes were in the early 1960s. Getting SLAC approved by the Congress was a fairly arduous problem. There was considerable opposition to it-- to some extent, similar to what has happened with the superconducting supercollider-- but was indeed approved in 1961. The joint collaboration between us and them started the following year.
The shovels were out in 1963. The machine went on the air in 1967, on time and within budget. And they essentially turned the switch, and it came right up to beam. We just got used to that. What else? That does not always happen in later times.
In 1968, as I mentioned, the first deep inelastic proton scattering. Very quickly, Feynman came in on that with the results I've discussed. Those results were presented in Vienna that September. I've shown you the slide of Feynman actually giving his first talk at SLAC. Callan-Gross and the determination of the spin potential came in November. Bjorken and Paschos were doing sum rule evaluation as part of BJ's work on current algebra. And 1969, our first experimental results on R, and the first paper's published that year.
Then other laboratories came in on the basis of the general interest and excitement that had been generated. One of the predictions from the parton theories was that the neutrino scattering data would show cross-sections which increased linearly with the primary energy. And CERN went back and looked at earlier data they had taken on that reaction, on neutrino cross-sections, and discovered indeed that it increased linearly. So we were beginning to get outside corroboration of the results.
The following year, our electron deuteron scattering program started, and we very quickly discovered that the neutron/ proton ratio was not one-- as a number of the earlier soft proton models suggested it might be-- but dropped dramatically. And by the latter part of that year, it was already clear that the parton model was beginning to be accepted, that the evidence was beginning to accumulate.
By the following year, the [INAUDIBLE] ratio was found to decrease dramatically, down almost to a quarter. And the theoretical community simultaneously was beginning to focus more and more on the nature of the constituents, on the nature of the partons. There was a theory that Drell looked at, assuming they were nucleons, if I remember. But Julius Kuti and Viki were beginning to look at the first of the quark models.
The dedicated neutrino experiments were beginning to show results by late 1971, and the whole body of diffracted models was beginning to be weeded out and discarded. And later, some of the more abstruse predictions of what then became called the quark-parton model began to get some experimental verification. The anti-neutrino/neutrino cross-sections turned out to favor spin and a half, as the SLAC earlier results had done. Because the neutrinos have no charge, the fractional charge peculiarities which were inherent in the electron scattering cross-section did not affect the neutrino cross-section, so it was possible to make a cross determination to see whether the fractional electric charges were, in fact, what one was seeing in the SLAC yields. And lo and behold, the fractional charges turned out to give predictions in agreement with the measurements.
There was a confirming measurement of the number of valence quarks. We had found from some early evaluations that we could not account for all of the momentum carried by the protons by looking at sums over cross-sections, and it was concluded that at least some fraction-- which looked like about half-- of the proton's momentum was carried by entities with which the electrons did not interact. And these are now known as the gluons. So this is quite indirect determination, but that's where gluons first started to show their heads through the shrubbery.
By 1973, a theoretical development by Politzer, Gross, and Wilczek began to tell us how it was that we could conduct scattering from what appeared to be a free quark. And yet, these things remained bound-- were not visible as free entities. That was a very important theoretical development. And then on the heels of that came the formulation of quantum chromodynamics, and the beginnings of the understanding of the small, but quite clearly observed scale breaking was that we were seeing.
Well, you can look at the rest of these results. What we go through the subsequent years has been the subject of a good deal of what Sam has been talking about and earlier talks, and I think I don't have to go through that. But what happened over the rest of this decade was a slowly consolidating feeling that indeed, the partons were quarks.
Part of this was the discovery of the J/psi and other things, which you see. And by the time the decade had wound down, the 1968 hadron was gone. It was gone forever. And it was replaced by a nearly complete theory-- quantum chromodynamics-- which had, by then, been linked with the weak interaction theory to form a theory which, in principle, one could calculate with, and which are entirely replaced what had been in place before our experiments had started. Thank you very much.

This face wrinkled in the mirror is not mine. Nor these tortos and doloridos fingers are mine. I am not that I interrogate myself concerning what I made of wrong.

The Western Church

According to Catholic understanding, the marriage is one of the seven sacraments. In other words: refers to as a special character not only on the beyond reality of God, but in it the reality of God is here on Earth expressed. Specifically the love of God to the people or the relationship of Christ to the Church is reflected in the love of the conjugal partnership. Because the Covenant of God with the people is irrevocable, even the marriage is considered to be indissoluble. But what has joined God, that man should not separate"it is said in the Gospels. This indissolubility of marriage is today legally regulated in paragraphs (canons) of the Catholic code of Canon law (in the 1983 Codex iuris canonici). You must not even be theologian to understand the importance of an absolutely valid (marriage) agreement. "So for example the philosopher Immanuel Kant through his categorical imperative and the designs is in perpetual peace" attention to the problems of subject promise: when not everyone fully really maintain its contracts intends sense of absurdity of contracts and stands on the possibility of the promise.
The reform opponents see therefore in any easing threatens the value of marriage. Pastoral is a low prior to find, but in clearly defined areas but also with them. On the other hand, first of all, reformers take the failure of people and offered merciful dealing with them in the eyes, without wanting to put the value of the marriage in question. Also they can rely on the Bible and the practice of the Church. So the Church itself for this reason in the course of history has formulated always exceptions and special arrangements, the remarriage speaks today hardly anyone to allow the original prohibition of divorce (!). The Western Church has been especially so-called marriage invalidity in the views. Here is if the first marriage may not even came and the marriage contract as null and void can be explained checked on the basis of contract law considerations.
Bernard Glassman: Bear witness. Buddhism as a committed life, edition steinrich 2012 Bernard Glassman, Zen master, and author, lives and teaches an extraordinary Buddhist practice. We are used to thinking about meditation seminars to retreat to places of silence and tranquility, involving external offers ideal conditions the participating to get inside to rest. Not that Bernard Glassman: he goes with his retreats deliberately places where misery was experienced or will, and he wants to transform his work. The retreats in Auschwitz-Birkenau are a major challenge for all involved, because none of us can deny the deep painful experiences that have happened, there.
Especially since many participating have a personal concern. But succeeds Glassman and others with his courage, his determination and his compassion, to look at the suffering, to recognize and transform. He reported how these retreats will expire and what experiences he and many participants have, in the book. It is very touching to read, such as the people in Auschwitz feel first pure terror and in the course of the retreat, healing happens. One evening, a Frenchman said that, what moved the hearts of many participants and participants. Michel Dubois had lost his relatives here.
The visit to this place was a sad and painful re-encounter with these people for him. But with the growing pains, which he felt was also his joy and love. He said he got the feeling of the souls who resided at this place, love go out. And this is indeed: love radiates from Auschwitz and Birkenau. This love has brought us together here. The differences that existed between us, no longer separated us. The initial silence and the feelings of fear and anger had turned into harmony, humor and a sense of deep appreciation of ourselves and all other attendees. We were a family become ", we read in the part about Auschwitz. The Strassenretreats are another part of his practice. This means that he is with a group of people for a certain period of time on the road goes, there lives, begs and stayed in homeless shelters. When he started to build apartments for the homeless and to provide them with work opportunities, he wanted to learn unity with the people on the street. To do so he had to have lived however, even on the road. How these retreats run, what it means to live, what the patient is experiencing and how they feel treated as outcasts, deliberately on the road of which Glassman writes very impressively. And we know how he founded the peacemaker order as the order of the peace philanthropy and what its goals are and how he and the participants put it. It is a book by someone who lives what he teaches, going deep and even with humor. Glassman can press down never from suffering, but he's looking for ways, so it can heal and transform. There are unusual ways of practice that can work but also unusual healing. In addition, they are never out of touch, but always quite suitable for everyday use.
Much more for the terrible misery the one that had been shot (RIBEIRO, 1995 p.221). The fight for the freedom, then, was only the first step for the attainment of the racial equality, therefore racism already guided the Brazilian society after the abolition and, in this direction, it affirms Ribeiro (1995, P. 200): ' ' the fight most arduous of the African black and its Brazilian descendants was, still is, the conquest of a place and a legitimate participant paper in the society nacional' '. For Darcy Ribeiro (1995), the current Brazilian ruling classes, made of descendants of old gentlemen of slaves, the same keep for the blacks vile disdain of long ago. The blacks continue being seen as the culprits of its proper disasters, which were and still they are explained as characteristic of the race and not as resulted of the slavery and the oppression. This deturpada vision is also assimilated by the mulatos even for the blacks that obtain to ascend socially, which if adds to the contingent white to discriminate the black mass. In this direction, it is necessity to stand out that exactly when the black revolt against its equal ones, this happens in result of the discrimination imposed for the white. In other words, the black starts to suffer for not being white, in the measure where the white man strap of the black all value, all originalidade, all humanity.
thus, so that the white recognizes the humanity of the black, this tries to become white. ' ' The inferiorizao is the native correlato of the superiorizao … has courage to say: She is the racist who creates inferiorizado' '. (FANON, 1983, P. 78). In this direction, it affirms Ana Clia Da Silva, the esteretipos, the partial representation and minimized of the reality, they lead the estereotipado one and representing, to a large extent, to the auto-rejection, the construction of low-esteem, to the rejection to resembled its, leading it the search of the represented values as universal, in the illusion to become that one another one and to become free themselves of the domination and inferiorizao.
America Workmanship
He wrote: ' ' Culture and Opulence of Brazil for its Drogas and Minas' '. Notadamente it speaks very on the economy in the start of the Sc.

He arrives to copy entire verses of Cames. We only know of the publication of Prosopopia, however some workmanships have been attributed to it. Beyond Blessed Teixeira, other poets had imitated Cames and other poets of the Europe, but already he had the predominance of the nativista feeling of the Brazilian people. They had used to advantage the values of the land: the landscape, the people, the region.
