Daily Market Comment – Growth worries dent vaccine optimism but can't stem dollar slide
Research Homepage
Forex Previews
Posted on November 18, 2020 at 9:49 am GMT
Raffi Boyadjian, XM Investment Research Desk
Stocks mostly negative after disappointing US retail sales underline near-term risks
Surge in US virus cases and fresh outbreaks in Japan, Australia unnerve markets
Cautious tone unable to lift dollar as slump in Treasury yields weighs
Kiwi outperforms again, pound is close behind amid hopes of a Brexit breakthrough
Renewed growth jitters put brakes on vaccine rally
The vaccine euphoria suffered a knockback after stalling retail sales numbers out of the United States yesterday highlighted the short-term challenges policymakers still need to overcome before life can return to normal. Headline retail sales in October grew by the slowest pace since April, while the closely watched control group measure rose by just 0.1% over the month, suggesting that without additional fiscal support, US consumers may further pare back their spending.
Although there have been several signs the US recovery is in danger of floundering, this was the first hard evidence that the combination of waning fiscal stimulus and rising Covid-19 cases is starting to have a real impact on the economy.
Fed Chair Jerome Powell repeated his calls for more fiscal stimulus from Congress in remarks yesterday. But with the Republican-controlled Senate unlikely to approve a package greater than $500 billion, it looks like it will be up to the Fed to provide another lifeline to the economy until mass vaccination programmes are rolled out.
Expectations that the Fed will increase monetary stimulus in December have been steadily rising in recent days, dragging Treasury yields sharply down. Policymakers have been playing down the immediate benefits of a vaccine and Powell was quick to stress this, saying "The next few months may be very challenging".
Stocks turn sluggish, but find support
The deteriorating short-term outlook pulled Wall Street into the red on Tuesday, though US stock futures were mostly flat today. The sell-off also appears to have eased in Asia and Europe where the main indices have been mixed today.
Whilst the vaccine story is no longer driving the rally, it's nevertheless able to put a floor under equities as investors can now see a bright light at the end of the tunnel. Even the worrying virus headlines are not enough to spark a major stock market correction as traders can count on the likes of the Fed and the ECB to pump more stimulus in the meantime.
As Europe and America battle their second and third waves, respectively, other regions are also reporting flare-ups. In Australia, the state of South Australia has just been placed under a six-day lockdown, while in Japan, a record number of cases has been recorded in Tokyo overnight.
But judging from the reaction in bond markets, it's the US economic outlook that investors are repricing the most, as not only had they not expected the virus numbers to get so bad again, but many had also bet on Congress to have passed a new virus relief package by now.
Dollar can't catch a break, kiwi and pound lead the gainers
The yield on 10-year Treasury notes slumped to a more than one-week low today, weighing heavily on the US dollar. German and Japanese yields were down too, but by a somewhat lesser extent, allowing the euro and yen to hold their own against the greenback.
The US currency is down across the board, slipping below the 104 level versus the yen.
The commodity-linked Australian, Canadian and New Zealand dollars were back up, reversing yesterday's declines, with the kiwi soaring to a 20-month high as investors scale back expectations of negative interest rates in New Zealand following the RBNZ's recent hawkish shift.
The pound was another currency extending its gains as it approaches the $1.33 level. Hopes are high that Britain and the EU are on the verge of clinching a post-Brexit trade deal. Although negotiators are unlikely to strike an agreement by tomorrow's EU summit, there is a growing indication that a "landing zone" may be agreed upon early next week amid signs both sides have compromised on the thorny issue of fisheries.

Q: Aliased const hiding global const Background
The solution is an MVC web application, it connects to two versions of the the same API. The connectors are class libraries in which the respective version of the API's wsdl was consumed into a proxy class. The web project references both libraries (with the same namespace). The older, lesser used version is aliased, the newer version uses the global alias in an attempt to reduce the amout of alias qualifiers around the code base.
The Issue
When attempting to access a constant string in the newer global reference, I receive the value of the older aliased library.
  //New v6
  public class AgeCode
  {
    public const string Adult = "ADT";
    public const string Child = "CHD";
    public const string Infant = "INF";
  }

  //Old v5
  public class AgeCode
  {
    public const string Adult = "ADT";
    public const string Child = "CLD";
    public const string Infant = "INF";
  }

  //Output of the below is "CLD"
  var code = global::Gateways.API.AgeCode.Child

The situation is similar to this example:
http://www.davidarno.org/c-howtos/aliases-overcoming-name-conflicts-part-2-extern-alias/
However in my case both classes would have the variable 'Pi'.
:EDIT:
I have tried changing the const declerations to 'static readonly' with no success.
As requested (In all cases I've changed the API's name to 'API'):
<Reference Include="Gateways.API.5, Version=5.0.30922, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=111111111, processorArchitecture=MSIL">
  <SpecificVersion>False</SpecificVersion>
  <HintPath>..\Libs\Gateways.API\5\Gateways.API.dll</HintPath>
  <Aliases>ApiV5</Aliases>
</Reference>
<Reference Include="Gateways.API.6, Version=6.0.31238, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=222222222, processorArchitecture=MSIL">
  <SpecificVersion>False</SpecificVersion>
  <HintPath>..\Libs\Gateways.API\6\Gateways.API.dll</HintPath>
  <Private>False</Private>
</Reference>

A: I think the issue is that Visual Studio/MSBuild uses the first referenced value which matches the class pattern, so this means you're picking up the first referenced library (i.e. version 5 of the library).
I think if you add an alias of ApiV6 to the new library like you've added a similar alias to the old library and use the using using ApiV6::Gateways.API.AgeCode to use the new libraries copy of AgeCode.

A: The actual solution was related to something I omitted in the description.
There are 3 projects in the solution:

*

*Api connector library

*Business logic library

*Web site

I was updating the constants in the api connector library and copying the dlls directly to the web site, however it seems that I needed to recompile the business logic library with the new connector library dlls.

Q: post form in django, get blank screen, broken or bug? I've created a form in django which works fine on desktop browsers, but on mobile browsers when the form submits it just displays a blank screen (doesn't even load the title or an error), am I missing something?
If there's no way to make it work using post, how could I submit a form to locations/<zip  code> or use get locations/?zip_code=<zip code>? (I'm a django noob, sorry)
here's the relevant code:
template:
<form action="" method="post">
    {{ form.as_p }}
    <input type="submit" value="Submit" />
</form>

form.py:
class ZipForm(forms.Form):
    zip_code = forms.CharField(max_length=10)

views.py:
def zip(request):
    if request.method == "POST":
        form = ZipForm(request.POST)
        if form.is_valid():
            zip_code = form.cleaned_data['zip_code']
            ## get result
            return render_to_response("zip.html",{
                'title':'Closest Locations',
                'results' : results,
                'form' : form,
            })
    else:
        form = ZipForm()
    return render_to_response("zip.html", {
        'form' : form,
        'title' : 'Find Locations',
    })

url.py:
url(r'^locations/$', 'app.views.zip'),

I wish there was a decent debugger for developing on mobile phones, ugh.

A: If the form is valid then you do all this fancy stuff... but you forgot to handle the case where the form isn't valid.


If you use these tools in your research, please cite: Blankenberg D, Taylor J, Nekrutenko A, The Galaxy Team. "Making whole genome multiple alignments usable for biologists." Bioinformatics. 2011 Jul 19.
Whole genome alignments, even those produced by "quasi-global" algorithms, are inevitably fragmented owing to the complex evolutionary history of genomic DNA and karyotypes, which involves duplications, deletions, insertions and other rearrangements. These alignments also tend to be extremely large. To allow biologists to easily and efficiently manipulate multiple species whole genome alignments, they are stored locally at the Galaxy site, in a compressed form, and indexed. The majority of alignments are produced using Penn State's multiZ (for more information on multiZ click here) aligner run on the computational facilities of The UC Santa Cruz Genome Biology Group led by Jim Kent. Tools for handling multiple alignments described here are written by Dan Blankenberg and based on the bx-python package developed by James Taylor.
For a list of data available through Galaxy, see Available Data.
These tools convert MAF formatted files to FASTA and offer the ability to restrict alignments to a subset of species. This is useful for performing further analysis with practically all currently available genomic tools.
Extract Pairwise MAF blocks given a set of genomic intervals - takes a series of genomic intervals and extracts pairwise alignments from a large selection of locally cached MAF files.
Extract MAF blocks given a set of genomic intervals - takes a series of genomic intervals and extracts multiple alignments from a large selection of locally cached MAF files or from alignments in the user's history.
The FASTA output is relative to the genome of the input interval; positions that do not exist in this genome are not included. Overlapping blocks are split at the edges of their intersections, and the block fragment with the highest original score is used. Users can also select which species to include in their output.
MAF coverage statistics - computes the coverage of a genomic interval by a specified alignment; if a column does not exist in the reference genome, it is not included in the output.
where coverage is the number of nucleotides divided by the total length of the provided intervals.
Users can choose to keep or discard (1) blocks which are missing a desired species and (2) blocks which contain only one species.
Join MAF blocks by Species - Merges MAF blocks which are adjoining in each specified species from a MAF file. Columns which contain only gaps are removed. Species which are not desired are removed from the output.

Hello once again. We are now officially a few days into the new year and all the Christmas decorations are coming down and we are preparing for 3 months of a bitter cold and snowy Michigan winter with no work free Holidays in sight!
So I thought I would take a minute to showcase the item push me over the edge and down the path that we are on right now. That is these hand turned wood pens! I will go into deeper detail on different styles another time, as there are many of them with a wide range in cost. Pens make great gifts for groomsmen, graduates, doctors, pastors, and anyone else that still uses old fashioned paper to write on.
Cocobolo gold slimline pen with cross clip.
Pen's peaked my interest because they don't use a lot of wood so it gives people the chance to use and see woods they otherwise may never know about. For example, the piece of cocobolo I'm holding in the last post had a retail price of almost $20 on it… and that isn't a very big piece of wood. But cocobolo for pens can be very affordable, and beautiful (see picture on the right)! So because of this I was able to experience dozens of woods from all around the world and put them into the hands of people that had never heard of them.
But being a woodworker at heart and seeing all the natural beauty of exotic woods, I couldn't just stop at doing pens….

"So what if you could type with your brain?" - Tech companies such as Facebook invest millions in the development of neurotechnology for consumers. At the same time, big data and advanced machine learning enable better decoding of brain data. This development evokes worrying scenarios: What are the ethical, legal and social challenges if brain data from consumer neurotechnology is collected on a large scale? Are brain data a special kind of biomedical data requiring special protection?
The session will start with a video showing parts of the web documentary "Homo Digitalis". The panelists will then discuss, together with the audience, the ethical, legal and social implications of the convergence of consumer neurotechnology with big data and advanced machine learning.
After all, the brain is not any old organ: it is the seat of our feelings, desires, personality, attitude, creativity and thoughts. Gaining access to this rich trove of highly personal biometric data via advanced neurotechnology may be an enticing prospect for companies that want to harness this data for potentially unprecedented levels of personalization of their services, e.g. targeted advertising. Yet, thus far, there is no wide ranging public disocurse or deliberation of the potential threats of this development for the privileged privacy and the freedom of our thoughts, feelings and other mental states. Do existing regimens for protecting biomedical data suffice to manage this potential flood of Big Brain Data? Can technology, such as blockchain, federated learning or differential privacy, protect users' brain data from unwarranted access and commercial exploitation? Who will decide over the priorities for research and applications as experts in data science and machine learning systematically move from public research institutions to the private sector?
In the first part of the session, we will present the benefits and risks of this scenario from a medical, scientific, legal and neuroethical perspective. In the second part, we will engage the audience in discussing and deliberating about possible solutions for these ethical, legal and social challenges.

The first Writers Platform Building Campaign Challenge has been set.
These five words will be included in the word count.
Shadows crept across the wall as Sophie made her way down the small alley that ran between the houses.
"Lee? Are you there?" There was no response, so she continued, picking her way through the stinging nettles. Searching her pockets for her torch, she shone the light out and jumped.
"Sorry Soph. It's not far, follow me." He placed a cold finger across her lips and winked.
Following him across the damp grass Sophie thought of her warm bed and the fact that she had to be up at six for work. But Lee was so charming. All the girls at work fell over themselves to talk to him, even the older married ones.
Suddenly, Lee stopped and crouched down. Sophie did the same, although she wasn't quite sure why.
Sophie's eyes followed his to a small mound of earth a few feet away.
Sophie stared in wonder at the three badger cubs who were playing, oblivious to the human presence. It was then and there she decided, that she would be Mrs Lee Harding, no matter what the cost.

I agree!! I want to know more of the story! Love it!
I definitly want to read more. I checked out your "about me" and you need to get to editing. This makes me want to read your books too!
Loved the badger cub part! Great story — getting a thumbs-up from me! Thank you for visiting Speaking from the Heart.
Very well written and like others I am intrigued to know more. Curious though about what kind of torch you can keep in a pocket.
I remember doing that when I was a young girl, fantasizing about the boy I would marry. Kind of dreamy and fantastical. Nice! But watch out for those badger cubs. If that mama comes around, those kids are in deep trouble!!
Ahhhhh, now that's something I could add to the story!
Loved the ending. I'm glad you're feeling better today. We writer's have to stick together. You did a great job with this flash piece.
LOL. Yeah…I could see it turning into obsessive as well, but that's fun!
Cute! I was afraid it was going to get scary at the end, but then it was nice.
I thought the mound was going to be from a hole Lee dug for Sophie's grave. Badger cubs was much better. Nice twist.
I thought the badgers were an interesting element to the story and I was left wondering how their "romance" would play out. Good job.
Hope she doesn't go the "Fatal Attraction" route! LOL! 🙂 Good job! I'm #61.
Intriguing, well you've got me hooked as to where the nastiness would come in if you make it longer. I thought he was going to show her a buried body or something! Made for an interesting twist at the end. Nice job.
Very cute. I was not expecting the badger cubs. Would love to know where it goes next.

\section{Introduction}
Ring Laser Gyroscopes (RLG) are devices, based on the Sagnac effect, that measure with high sensitivity the rotational motion of the apparatus with respect to an inertia reference system.
By beating the two beams counterpropagating inside the ring optical cavity, an interference pattern at a specific frequency, the Sagnac frequency \cite{Schreiber2013} is produced, which is proportional to the rotation rate of the gyroscopes reference frame.
The ideal laser transition for this kind of application is the He-Ne 633 nm transition.
Small dimension devices, characterized by a ring optical cavity length, of the order of 40-50 cm, have been widely developed for application as high sensitivity navigation instruments.
The sensitivity can be increased by some orders of magnitude by larger frame apparatus, with cavity length ranging from some meters to tens of meters \cite{Schreiber2013,Gebauer2020a,Capozziello2021}, allowing applications to seismology, geodesy, and tests of fundamental physics.\\
Our research team is presently operating on two large frame ring lasers (LF RLGs), the first one, named GP2  \cite{Belfi2014,Santagata2015,Beverini2019a} installed in the INFN (Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare) laboratory in Pisa, and the second one, GINGERINO \cite{Belfi2016,Belfi2017,Belfi:18,DiVirgilio2020a,Capozziello2021} installed in the underground laboratory of Gran Sasso LNGS.\\
In any He-Ne gas laser, the gain is obtained by exciting a plasma discharge in the medium.
This can be produced by a high voltage DC or by a Radio Frequency (RF) excitation.
In view of this, this work aims to study the optical gain of the line at 633 nm in a Radio-Frequency (RF) excited He-Ne plasma gas in function of both the radial behavior along the discharge bore and the total filling gas pressure.
The studies about this topic date back to several years ago \cite{Mielenz1965,Mazanko1971,Tsarkov1973,Spoor1984,Andrews1989,Gray1996}.
During years for commercial devices, the DC supply has been preferred over the RF one.
This is because it is easier to realize, and it avoids the generation of RF-noise.
However, DC discharge presents problems if high accuracy is required, due to the asymmetry introduced by the cataphoretic motion.
Due to this, all the LF RLGs use rf plasma excitation.
Moreover, it was shown a better efficiency of rf excitation in terms of optical gain in function of working power \cite{Gray1996}.\\
For application to LF gyros it is also important to extend the study to low gain and high buffer pressure conditions.
Indeed, a LF RLG must operate in a different regime than the small devices.
For short optical cavity length, the free spectral range (FSR) is large compared to the Doppler linewidth of the laser transition, so that the laser can easily operate stably on a single longitudinal mode.
This is no more the case in LF RLG.
However, it was demonstrated that also in those conditions stable single-mode operation can be obtained operating at low emission power, near laser threshold \cite{Bilger1995}.
Moreover, a higher value of the helium pressure can help to stabilize the single-mode operation by increasing the homogeneous linewidth.
\section{Experimental setup}
The opto-electronic setup is shown in Fig \ref{fig_optical}.
\begin{figure}
	\centering
	\includegraphics[width=\textwidth]{schema_banco_ottico.pdf}
	\caption{Optical Setup \label{fig_optical}}
\end{figure}
A He-Ne power stabilized laser is used as a probe to investigate the plasma discharge optical gain along its bore diameter.
The laser light is sent to the plasma discharge via two mirrors.
In order to move it through the plasma diameter the holder of the second mirror is mounted on a traslator with a micrometric screw.
Before the injection into the cavity there is a chopper and a plano-convex lens of 300 mm focal length.
The chopper modulates the intensity of the laser, and the lens focuses it in the middle of the plasma discharge.
In this way the waist has a size of $150~\rm \mu m$ in the center of the glass bore, which has a diameter of 5.6 mm and a length of $\rm 150~mm$.
Similarly to the second mirror, also the lens holder has a micrometric screw translation slide to preserve the alignment of the probe beam when it is moved along the plasma diameter.
In the middle of the tube there are two copper rings acting as electrodes for the plasma discharge.
Each one has a width of $\rm 10~mm$ and the distance between them is about $\rm 3~mm$, that we have identified as optimal distance to have an uniform discharge in a large range of RF power values.
The power supply is a radio frequency generator operating around 150 MHz\cite{Graham2006}.
A passive impedance adapter, built with a variable capacitor, links the electrodes with the RF generator and it is fundamental to minimize the reflected power and optimize the pumping efficiency.
We have realized a control circuit for the RF Amplifier Module in order to modulate its output power via a trimmer and via an input voltage channel.
At the end of the glass cavity there are a pin-hole and a photodiode with a narrow pass-band filter centered at 633nm.
The pin-hole, of a 1 mm of diameter, and the filter before the photodiode, shield it from the fluorescence emission of the plasma discharge.
The position of both, the pin-hole and the photodiode, are readapted to optimize the signal before each measurement.
\section{Measurement}
\subsection{Measurement technique}
We chose to investigate four different pressure of gas mixture and, for each pressure, three different power level of plasma discharge.\\
Following the literature \cite{Spoor1984}, we have chosen for each He-Ne mixture, a pressure of 0.22 mbar of Ne and then we have added He up to 1.33, 2.66, 5.00, 10.00 mbar.
Before the first filling the cavity has been baked and pumped down to $10^{-6}$ mbar, and before each refill we have restored the vacuum condition to clean the system.
Considering the size of the tube and the laser waist dimension, we chose to move the probe laser along the diameter of the plasma discharge by steps of 0.25 mm using the micrometric screws shown in Fig \ref{fig_optical} .\\
The difficulties of this type of study are mainly two: the handling of a RF source, and the fact that the expected gain of this kind of system is of the order of only some hundreds of ppm \cite{Mazanko1971,Tsarkov1973,Spoor1984,Gray1996}.\\
About the first issue, differently from a DC plasma discharge the power supplied by a RF source needs an initial high-voltage discharge to switch on the plasma.
This peculiarity makes impossible to use the typical measurement procedure of a DC discharge that involves to turn off and on the plasma, to empathize its gain effect, during the measurement.
We solved this problem modulating the power of the plasma between two levels.
This method allows to evaluate the gain difference between this two plasma power levels.
It is possible to obtain the absolute value of the gain by properly choosing the value of the low level.
Setting this level near the plasma threshold, it is possible to have a stable plasma discharge with enough low power to not activate the gain for the 633 nm transition.\\
The second problem concerns the low expected gain around few hundreds of ppm at most \cite{Mazanko1971,Tsarkov1973,Spoor1984,Gray1996}.
In addition, the spontaneous emission at 633 nm wavelength makes it hard to discern between the laser gain and the offset due to the spontaneous emission.
Lock-in amplifier has been used to improve the measurement precision.
The chopper in Fig \ref{fig_optical} modulates the light amplitude coming into the cavity, and the Lock-In demodulates and amplifies the signal detected by the photodiode.
This method avoid any other effects except for the ones on the modulated light.\\
To have a statistically significant set of data, each measurements lasts 15 minutes, during which we modulate the plasma discharge between low and high levels with a square wave of 1s period.
\subsection{Performed Measurement}
Figs \ref{fig_gain_1},\ref{fig_gain_2},\ref{fig_gain_3} show the gain data in function of the position along the bore diameter.
The continuous lines are the fit with the function shown in Eq. \ref{eq:McLeod_model}
\begin{equation}
	G(r)=a J_0\left(2.405 \frac{r}{R}\right) + b
	\label{eq:McLeod_model}
\end{equation}
where $a$ and $b$ are the fit parameters, $J_0$ is the 0 order Bessel function of the first kind, $R$ is the radius of the glass tube, and $r$ is the distance from the center at wich we evaluate the gain $G(r)$.
This is an approximation of the Mc Leod model \cite{McLeod2000a} used by R. Graham in his PhD Thesis \cite{Graham2006} for the electron population of the plasma.
This model considers the gain factor directly proportional to the electrons distribution, and how it is shown in the plots this hypothesis is in a good accordance with the experimental data.
Figures \ref{fig_gain_1}, \ref{fig_gain_2} and \ref{fig_gain_3} contain the data referred to a specific couple of low and high output power of the RF discharge source.
It is important to underline that, even if the low levels of the three plots are different we have verified that in any case we are enough close to the threshold level to not activate the 633nm transition in the plasma medium.
There are no data at 10.00 mbar in Fig \ref{fig_gain_1} because the low level of 0.15 W is under the threshold level for this gas pressure.

\end{figure}\\
To fully scan the glass tube diameter, each set of data is composed by 20 steps of the micrometric screw.
Considering the duration of each single measurement and the dead time between successive steps, the total time needed for each set of data is about 6 hours.
During this time the hydrogen, released by the glass bore, contaminates the gas mixture.
The small volume of gas and the absence of a getter pump makes this contamination not negligible in the evaluation of the plasma gain effect.
To correct this behavior we have extracted the time dependency of the gain.
To do that, we have acquired the gain with the same method described before, but without moving the laser probe through the diameter.
This allows to obtain the gain behavior in function of the time.
\begin{figure}
	\centering
	\includegraphics[width=\textwidth]{gain_ppm_vs_time_hour_2660mubar_EQ_norm.pdf}
	\caption{Example of gain decay vs time\label{fig_gain_time}}
\end{figure}
Fig \ref{fig_gain_time} shows an example of these measurements.
It easy to note a double exponential decay rate.
\begin{equation}
	\rm G(t)=G_1e^{-\frac{t}{\tau_1}}+G_2e^{-\frac{t}{\tau_2}}
	\label{eq_gain_time}
\end{equation}
Eq. \ref{eq_gain_time} represent the model function used to fit the gain vs time data.
Determining the parameters $\rm G_1$, $\rm G_2$, $\tau_1$, and $\tau_2$, we corrected the data gain behavior in function of the position along the glass tube diameter using Eq. \ref{eq_gain_time}.
Figs. \ref{fig_gain_1}, \ref{fig_gain_2}, and \ref{fig_gain_3} report the data after the time correction.
\section{Discussion}
\subsection{Data Comparison \label{subsec:data_compare}}
The main work with measurements about the gain at $\lambda=633$ nm in He-Ne induced by a RF plasma discharge has been made in 1973 by Tsarkov and Molchanov \cite{Tsarkov1973}.
But the differences in gas pressure and the ratio between He and Ne and also, the used discharge power make impossible a direct comparison with our results.\\
Another possibility could be a comparison with the work of Spoor and Latimer \cite{Spoor1984}.
In this case it is possible to find a couple of data-set similar in terms of gas characteristics and discharge power, but the DC supply system makes, again, the analogy impossible.\\
Nevertheless, we can find reasonable information that are still valid in our case: the order of magnitude of the gain, and the typical shape of the gain in function of the cavity radius.
About the first, it is easy to note that the values founded by Tsarkov and Molchanov, and Spoor and Latimer are of the same order of magnitude of the measurements shown in Figs. \ref{fig_gain_1},\ref{fig_gain_2},\ref{fig_gain_3}.
More specifically, the  data shown in Fig. \ref{fig_gain_1} are similar to the one of Fig. 3 of \cite{Spoor1984}.
If we convert the gain of our data into gain per unit of longitudinal length of plasma, we get values from $\rm 1 \% m^{-1}$ up to  $\rm 20 \% m^{-1}$, that is the same range of values shown in Fig. 3 of \cite{Spoor1984}.\\
It is also interesting to underline the presence of a peculiar behavior of gain in Fig. \ref{fig_gain_3}.
Near the center the gain curve of 1.33 mbar does not correctly follow the gain shape predicted by the model.
It is an effect of gain saturation that happens for very high RF power supply \cite{Spoor1984}.
\subsection{Ring Laser Gyroscope\label{subsec:RLG}}
Our main interest is to investigate the laser behaviour for RLG applications.
In particular to have a more detailed description of its active medium.\\
To correctly construe the data collected in this paper we have to remember that the evaluated gains values are referred to a single pass through the active medium, and that the optical power losses of our RLG are of the order of 100 ppm.
In this view an optimal working regime for a RLG should be the one with total pressure in the range between 5.00 and 10.00 mbar and output power RF generator of the order of few hundreds of mW.
The cited pressure range guaranties an homogeneous shape of the gain curve, and this level of RF power ensures a gain high enough to balance the losses, and, at the same time, keeping the system under the threshold of multimode operation.\\
We tested this range of pressure and RF power on our RLG GP2.
We tried several pressure level within the deduced range.
For each pressure level we tuned the supply current of RF generator in order to explore values, not only in the predicted range, but also higher and lower.
The conclusion is that in the pressure interval from 7 to 9 mbar and with a RF power of about 200 mW the RLG works in a transversal and longitudinal single-mode regime.
\section{Conclusion}
In literature the study on RF discharge systems have demonstrated that the efficiency of this supply method is better than the DC one \cite{Andrews1989}.
However, the results obtained in this work show that the transversal optical gain of a RF He-Ne plasma discharge has the same shape of that generated by means of a DC discharge.\\
Moreover, these results give us a series of relevant information to better understand the characteristics of a RLG.
To verify this information we have tested on our RLG GP2 a setup with the pressure and RF power in the previously indicated range of values (see Sec \ref{subsec:RLG}).
We obtained a monomode operation of RLG in the range between 7 to 9 mbar of He-Ne pressure and an output power of RF discharge system around 200 mW in accordance with the predicted values.

Q: $\lim_{n\to\infty}a_n b_n=\infty$ if $\lim_{n\to\infty}a_n=\infty$ and $\lim_{n\to\infty}b_n=b>0$ Let me settle down the definition of $\displaystyle\lim_{n\to\infty}a_n=\infty$ first. A real sequence $\{a_n\}_{n=1}^\infty$ is said to diverge to infinity if $\forall M>0$, $\exists N\in\mathbb{N}$ s.t. $n\geq N\Rightarrow a_n>M$. Now I'd like to prove a property concerning infinite limits in the above sense: if $a_n\to\infty$ and $b_n\to b>0$, then  $a_n b_n\to\infty$.
My proof proceeded with the definition of infinite limits. First write
$$a_n b_n=a_n(b_n-b)+a_n b.\tag{*}$$
Then pick $N_b\in\mathbb{N}$ s.t. $n\geq N_b\Rightarrow|b_n-b|<b$ and choose $N_a\in\mathbb{N}$ s.t. $n\geq N_a\Rightarrow a_n>\frac{M}{b}$. Now let $N$ be the greater of $N_a$ and $N_b$. If $n\geq N$, then I only have $a_n b_n>0$ in view of (*). What should I do in order to get $a_n b_n>M$ instead? Thank you.

A: I think ($*$) actually just confuses matters. Since $b_n\to b>0$, we can choose $N_b\in\Bbb{N}$ so that for all $n\geq N_b$, we have $|b_n-b|<\frac{b}{2}$, and thus $b_n>\frac{b}{2}$. Next, given $M>0$, choose an appropriate $N_a$. Then, for $n\geq \max(N_a,N_b)$, we have $a_nb_n>a_n\frac{b}{2}$. I leave it to you to continue from here.
Note that this proof reveals something about the problem statement. The hypothesis $\lim\limits_{n\to\infty}b_n=b$ is unnecessarily strong (and this unnecessarily strong hypothesis led you to an "incorrect" approach). It was important for us that $b>0$, but we don't really care about what the limiting value of $\{b_n\}$ is. We don't even need this limit to exist. All we need is for $\{b_n\}$ to "eventually be positive and stay away from $0$". More explicitly, the following is true:

If $\{a_n\}_{n=1}^{\infty}$ and $\{b_n\}_{n=1}^{\infty}$ are sequences such that

*

*$\lim\limits_{n\to\infty}a_n=\infty$

*there is an $N_0\in\Bbb{N}$ such that $\inf\limits_{n\geq N_0}b_n >0$,

then $\lim\limits_{n\to\infty}a_nb_n=\infty$.


text: As already announced on Twitter, I will be leaving The Business School (formerly Cass) at the end of this academic year and join the Robert Schuman Centre for Advanced Studies at the EUI in Florence as Chair in Financial Stability. Even before that I will take on the role of director of the Florence School of Banking and Finance (FBF) on a part-time basis from 1 March. The FBF has been built up by an amazing team under the leadership of Elena Carletti over the past few years and I am absolutely thrilled to join this great team. The FBF has been very active with training programmes and seminars and has smoothly transitioned to an on-line format for both in 2020. For the second semester of 2021, we hope to return to a mix of on-line and residential courses, conferences and seminars. Having a European research and training centre on financial sector issues is more important than ever, as the challenges in this area have only increased over the past years – starting from the fall-out of COVID-19 (where we will see more this and in coming years) over challenges of green finance to digitalisation and the rise of fintech. And while it is still early days, I also hope to broaden the geographic focus beyond Europe to other regions of the world, including emerging and developing countries; as well as build up research capacity. The interdisciplinary nature of the Robert Schuman Centre will support a similarly broad approach for the FBF. And obviously, this will also be reflected in my blog entries – less on Brexit, more on academic fields and disciplines beyond finance. Stay tuned!

Q: Who invented $\vee$ and $\wedge$, $\forall$ and $\exists$? I can rather easily imagine that some mathematician/logician had the idea to symbolize "it E xists" by $\exists$ - a reversed E - and after that some other (imitative) mathematician/logician had the idea to symbolize "for A ll" by $\forall$ - a reversed A. Or vice versa. (Maybe it was one and the same person.)
What is hard (for me) to imagine is, how the one who invented $\forall$ could fail to consider the notations $\vee$ and $\wedge$ such that today $(\forall x \in X) P(x)$ must be spelled out $\bigwedge_{x\in X} P(x)$ instead of $\bigvee_{x\in X}P(x)$? (Or vice versa.)
Since I know that this is not a real question, let me ask it like this: Where can I find more about this observation?

A: The four types of propositions used in the classical Greek syllogisms were called A, E, I, O.  Statements of type A were "All p are q".  Statement of type E were "Some p are q".  So of course a millennium later, mathematicians (who had a classical education) used A and E for these quantifiers, then later turned them upside down to avoid confusion with letters used for other things.
By the way: I and O were "All p are not q" = "No p are q" and "Some p are not q"="Not all p are q", but I don't remember which is I and which is O.

A: I've misplaced my copy of it, but I recall S. C. Kleene in his Mathematical Logic noting that "v" came as an abbreviation of "vel".  In Latin "vel" is one of the words which commonly gets translated to the English word "or", and at least people believed that the Latin word "vel"  comes closer to alternation (or equivalently, inclusive disjunction) than any of the other words which commonly get translated as "or".  Since Russell read Peano, and Peano's book on arithmetic got written in Latin, it does seem at least plausible that Russell first used "v" for alternation, as Bill's reference states.
That "∀" has to get interpreted by "⋀" as you correctly state in at least some cases (though not always), may seem strange at first, I agree.  But, one way to think of things here comes as to have the truth set as linearly ordered.  When you do this with "0" as the least truth value, and "1" as the greatest truth value, "⋀" most closely corresponds to, if not in fact is, the infimum, while "v" most closely corresponds to the supremum.  Both "infimum" and "supremum", at least according to my intuition of them, involve notions just as strange if you don't look at them carefully.

A: My understanding of the quantifier symbols $\bigvee$ ("there exists") and $\bigwedge$ ("for all") was that they were supposed to be large versions of $\vee$ ("or") and $\wedge$ ("and"). Then $\bigvee_{x\in X}Fx$ would mean $Fx_1\vee Fx_2\vee Fx_3\vee\dots$ whereas $\bigwedge_{x\in X}Fx$ would mean $Fx_1\wedge Fx_2\wedge Fx_3\wedge\dots$
This is similar to the notation $\bigcup_{x\in X}S_x$ for $S_{x_1}\cup S_{x_2}\cup S_{x_3}\cup\dots$ and $\bigcap_{x\in X}S_x$ for $S_{x_1}\cap S_{x_2}\cap S_{x_3}\cap\dots$
I don't see that these symbols "fail".  I can see that $\forall$ could be confused for $\bigvee$, and that would be bad since $\forall$ means the same as $\bigwedge$. However, I don't see that as being a condemnation of one over the other, and there would be no confusion if only one were being used at a time.

A: See Earliest Uses of Symbols of Set Theory and Logic for this and much more.

A: That's a nice question, but you misunderstood the creation of the universal quantifier "all" and "there exists". It appears to be derived from the letter A, and I guess it is, but it didn't emerge that way. The first one to introduce quantifiers the way we know today was Gottlob Frege, who was a german mathematician, in the book Begriffsschrift. See the article about his book on wikipedia, it has the notation used for him. So, that clarifies your question about $\forall$ and $\exists$. In regard of "e" and "or", they are just Boolean connectives, introduced by George Boole in Investigation of the laws of thought. The use of "or" as $\vee$ it's just a convention, Quine explains it in his Mathematical logic, as just an abreviation of the latim word "vel". The use of "e" as $\wedge$ it's, again, a convention, many mathematicians in the analytic tradition use dots (.) instead of. Answering your last question. You're thinking about quantification in a wrong way, it's not just about "quantifying" (read Quine's ML), it's about signing, you use it just to show the variable place in a statement. Using Quine's example: suppose you want to say that every number is less than $0$, equal to $0$ or different from $0$, then you say "Whatever number you may select,   it $<0$ $\vee$ it$=0$ $\vee$ it$>0$", or, "whatever number (it $<0$ $\vee$ it$=0$ $\vee$ it$>0$)". Now, for simplification, instead of using the last one, just say "$(x)$ number ($x>0 \vee x=0 \vee x<0)$". Mathematically, you just say $(x)(x \epsilon Number (x>0 \vee x=0 \vee x<0))$. So, $\bigwedge _{x\epsilon Number} P(x)$ it's just an abreviation of $(x)(x \epsilon Number (P(x)))$ but what if you wanted just to say $(x)(x=x)$ without specifying a class, like Number or $X$? You would had to introduce quantification in the notation, and it would get messy. I know my example doesn't clarify a lot, but the quantification business isn't as clear as everyone thinks, there are a lot of divergence between the professionals. Russell for example, in his Mathematical logic as based on the theory of types talks a lot about quantification, and you can see it's not a simple, it involves a lot philosophy. So, read Quine and Russell. Have a nice day.
P.S.: Consider this: $(x)(x \epsilon N .\supset. P(x))$, so, suppose we want to say that using the "and" quantifier, than it becomes $(x_1,..,x_n \epsilon N)(P(x_1) \wedge .. \wedge P(x))$ which is a lot more work, and still have to use quantification. Definitions are a way of simplification. But, read Russell (Principia and the article I mencioned) and Quine, quantification used in modern mathematical logic come from their works, see if the philosophical approach correspond to what we just did.


Stress And High Blood Pressure: What is The Relationship?
A dose of nature every week makes less stress and anxiety, in the end, let down your hazard of emerging high blood pressure, depression, and heart disease. The Long-lasting emotional and psychological stress and high blood pressure are closely related and cannot be separated. For the reason that stress origins a constant rise in the motion in the concerned, nervous system; the portion of the nervous system related with the fight-or-flight retort. When your sympathetic nervous system is activated, it floods your blood with cortisol and adrenaline, accelerating your heart rate, cramping your blood arteries, and increasing blood pressure.
In order to decrease your blood pressure of course; one of the finest things you can do to lesser anxiety is to work sympathetic nervous system activity with methods to cool your system. You need to soothe emotional anxiety and encourage best physical as well as mental equilibrium.
Stress supervision is a skill that has an ability to make your life up and a lifeguard. However, a link between stress and high blood pressure is still on its way, and researchers are doing work on it. Stress is famous to add to risk aspects similar to a poor diet and too much alcohol intake.
On top of the emotional anxiety, we feel stressful situation, our figures respond by letting go stress hormones (adrenaline and cortisol) from the blood. Furthermore, these hormones make ready the body for the "fight or flight" reaction; via constructing the heart beat more rapidly. As a result, it limits blood vessels to catch added blood to the essential of the body in place of the extremities.
Constriction of blood vessels and rise in heart rate organizes increase blood pressure. On the other hand, just for the time being when the stress response passes away; blood pressure proceeds to its pre-stress level. It is in actual situational stress. However, its results are short-lived and disappear just after the occasion of stress ends.
"Fight or flight" is an appreciated reaction as soon as we are faced with a forthcoming risk that we can grip by provoking or take off. Conversely, our modern world holds many stressful events that we can't handle with those selections. Chronic or constant anxiety reasons take ourselves to go into somewhat in high or slightly low, for most of the times in a week. The connection between stress and high blood pressure is essential. However, a lot of researchers are doing work on it.
What is in real stress? It is basically a lifestyle to a certain extent. Subsequently, it is a fact of life. In our lives, there is a specific level of anxiety. Nervousness and its ailments are medically analyzed disorders, which can be impacted by stress.
Learn to fight stress by creating selections like you can do a good talk with family and friends. Another face of it is to take out time for physical activity. These ways not simply develop your health, but also revitalize your wide-ranging well-being. You can also decrease stress by varying your outlooks.
Fundamentally, yourself needs time, and you need to give this time to yourself to fulfill personal tasks.
Time management is another beneficial way to decrease stress. Don't attempt to pack extravagantly into every bit. Learn to say "no." Don't promise too much.
Reduce the volume of stress by holding a smaller list of items that must be done. This may need you to reevaluate preferences and make difficult choices, but everyone must learn to live within manageable limits. Lessen pressure by being familiar with wherever you take control. One point to note is that external events cannot be accommodated due to our stress or anything else. However, it depends on us to change our thinking and to manage these conditions that are heavy on us psychologically or emotionally. First of all the feeling of acceptance is much more important, this is necessary to realize yourself that things cannot change!
All of the problems of your life cannot solve. You just need to think of the issues that you can handle, as well as make efforts to address them. Make a right plan and act on it. As stress and high blood pressure are closely related, so you need to take yourself out of stress, in order to maintain your blood pressure.

Tracker Mortgages link the rate of interest to the Bank of England Base Rate and are usually set at 1% above the Base Rate. The advantage is that the rate is variable but the lender cannot widen its margin in the future. In addition there will be a requirement in the contract that the lender match any changes in the Bank of England base rate within a fixed time period.
Discounted interest loans are similar to the above except that the unpaid interest over the short-term is not added to the outstanding loan. This rate is a true discount to the variable rate and not just a deferment of payment. If a lender changes its standard variable rate the change will impact immediately on discounted mortgages. Administration fees are usually charged and a redemption penalty may apply if the loan is repaid early, which may involve an extended 'tie-in' period, as with fixed rates.
Other type of mortgages you can consider are Capped Rate, Cashback, Offset, Fixed Rate Mortgages.

Imagine your trophy skull mount on the wall and how much better it could look with a Skull Shine LED Light kit! The kit is remote controlled and has 20 static color options or 19 dynamic color changing options. The color changing speed is adjustable as well as the brightness levels. Simple DIY installation can be used in most Skull mounted animals. Kit includes AC wall adapter and remote, (9 volt battery kit sold separately). We think Skull Shine is one bright idea.


Cars like Beetles, Cinquecentos and Minis are appealing for their simplicity – everything is small, nothing would seem to be terribly heavy, and the base specification means there aren't as many features to repair or replace. Cold war-era 4x4s (Jeeps and all the vehicles they inspired) take this to an even further extreme, with limited amenities, limited brightwork and basic paint, so getting one back into shape should be relatively easy. Or you can postpone cosmetic work and just focus on mechanical reliability for a real working truck look. And that's where this 1960 Austin Gipsy comes in, for sale for $2750 in North Spokane, WA.
Perhaps if a Renault LeCar joined the RustyButTrusty fleet, the desire to feature every one that comes up for sale would diminish. That said, even after a Lancia Beta came and went, the attraction to the theory is still there, even if the reality is not as compelling. And these were best-sellers in France and many other parts of the world, so how bad could it be? Anyhow, enough blathering, check out this 1978 Renault LeCar for sale in Glendale, CA for a relatively high $3800.
If you're into small displacement sports cars, perhaps even the pretty little Etceterini with curvy bodies that seem impossibly well-proportioned for their size, as well as impossibly expensive relative to their size, you can't overlook Fiat's own 850 coupe. Designed by Boano, who had a few independent successes before joining the dark side, they managed to imbue much more elegance on this car than one could imagine. From the (relatively) long hood to the sloping rear deck and quad rear lights, this car was clearly meant to make sporting elegance accessible to l'uomo della strada. You can find this early 1967 Fiat 850 Sport Coupe for sale in Kelowna, WA for $3120.


African-American master storyteller Baba Jamal Koram will weave a tapestry of words and music Friday, Jan. 18, at 7 p.m. at the Humboldt Unitarian Universalist Fellowship, 24 Fellowship Way in Bayside.
Intertwined in his stories are insights, impressions and thoughtful commentary. Since he will be telling children's stories all week long in area schools, this is his opportunity to address a mostly mature audience. The North Coast Storytellers will open the event with varied stories. The suggested donation is $10.
Koram brings storytelling alive with the history, humor, music and lore of African and African-American cultures. Blending contemporary and traditional storytelling techniques with drumming, call and response, wit and wisdom, his stories encourage people to make intelligent choices and to improve their character.
A recipient of the Circle of Excellence Award, Koram has been featured at the National Storytelling Festival, Kennedy Center, Smithsonian museums, National Black Storytelling Festival, regional festivals and schools nationwide.
Koram was raised in an international community and reared in the strong traditions of the American South. Introduced to African resources at an early age, he has continued to learn, share and teach the culture and importance of the people from this socially dynamic continent for over 20 years. His distinctive Afri-centric approach to the art of storytelling enables him to pass on cultural values that are traditionally African, inherently African-American, but that speak to the entire human family.

Salford MPs urge local veterans to come forward to claim Veteran's Badge
Barbara and Rebecca Long-Bailey MP are calling on Salford servicemen and women who served in the armed forces to come forward to see whether they are eligible to claim a Veteran's Badge.
Anyone who has served in any of the UK armed forces is eligible for a Veterans Badge. The commemorative badge is presented in recognition of service and can be worn on civilian attire.
The Salford MPs will be presenting a number of the Veterans Badges at an Armed Forces Day event taking place during the Winton Festival on Saturday 25th June at Winton Park.
To check eligibility and to apply for a Veterans' Badge please contact either Barbara Keeley MP's office on 0161 799 4159 or Rebecca Long-Bailey MP's office on 0161 425 3738.
Both MPs are only able to issue the badges to veterans who live in their constituencies. Postcodes can be checked via the following link:
http://www.parliament.uk/get-involved/contact-your-mp/
"It is a real honour to present Veterans Badges to our brave servicemen and women in Salford.
"Britain owes our veterans a debt of gratitude for their service. The Veterans Badge is a good way to recognise the contribution that their service made to our country and to offer thanks for their efforts.
"I hope that local veterans do come forward and apply for a badge and I look forward to meeting them during the presentation on 25th June at Winton Festival."
Rebecca Long-Bailey MP said:
"I want our Salford veterans to realise how proud and indebted we all are for their service in those dark days of war, and the conflicts that have happened since, and I fervently believe that this small badge really is a token of esteem from a grateful nation.
"I am privileged to be able to present their Veterans Badges at what will be an occasion for celebration and gratitude and I look forward to the presentation."


Full description of Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD). Definition, signs, symptoms, causes of Generalized Anxiety Disorder.
Generalized Anxiety Disorder isn't about day-to-day worries. GAD is about chronic, excessive worry over events that are unlikely to occur. They may worry about finances just because a bill arrives in the mail, or health because they saw a news story on heart attacks. Then there's family problems, relationships, work. People with GAD can't turn off the worry. They dwell on what could go wrong.
Generalized Anxiety Disorder occurs when normal levels of anxiety become severe, prevent everyday activities, and persist over more than a few months. Normal life becomes difficult for people with GAD because they experience high levels of worry, dreading the immediate future and concentrating on all the bad possibilities that could come their way, but feel unable to take action or control events.
According to the National Institute of Mental Health, Generalized Anxiety Disorder affects 3 to 4 percent of the population at any given time, with women twice as likely to be affected as men.
The exact cause of Generalized Anxiety Disorder isn't known, but biological, genetic and environmental factors seem to play a role in the development of GAD. People with GAD tend to have a family history of anxiety disorders. However, anxiety and fearfulness can also be learned behaviors transmitted to youngsters by adults in their lives. People of certain personality types are more susceptible to anxiety disorders, and, logically, a combination of stressful life situations may trigger excessive anxiety.

Q: AWS ALB routes to other ALBs Is it possible to implement such an architecture with ALBs?

I want publicly available domain name which ALB provides and then
have a separate clusters (with own services) "mounted" under different routes (e.g. /cluster1, /cluster2, cluster3)
Are there any other solutions to implement such kind of setup?

A: No it's not possible, but there's also no reason to do this. You just need to setup routing rules in a single Application Load Balancer to route to different Target Groups.

A: Treating it as a trivia question and not best design question, it is technically possible to do but it's a bit annoying.

*

*Make your top level ALB with 3 IP based Target Groups and path based listener rules to route to the correct groups.

*Make each sub-ALB and configure it to route to your services correctly.

*Connect the parent Target Groups to the sub IPs.  Each sub-ALB will have a node in each subnet that you assign it to.  Each ALB node will have dynamic IP.  You can take the IPs for each Node from an ALB and add it to the correct Target Group in the parent ALB.  You want to set it up so that each Target Group in the parent has the IPs of all ALB Nodes that you want it to route to.

*The ALB Node IPs are dynamic so you need to handle them being changed on you with no warning.  Create a Cloudwatch event that triggers whenever the IP of a sub-ALB Node changes and use it to trigger a Lambda.  Make the Lambda update the correct Target Group in the parent ALB with the new IPs.

There's a little bit of a Rube-Goldberg going on and it is annoying to get setup but it will work in practice.


The estates area of the Lands of the President and Presidential Estates contains The President Country Club. These West Palm Beach Homes feature large single-family residences, mostly built in the 70s and 80s on estate-sized lots. Many homes in this premium area have frontage on Lake Mangonia, and the entire development includes a beautiful golf course, full country club, and several condominium buildings. The estate section does not require an equity membership, but will benefit from the enormous green space that is uniquely situated in the heart of the urban center, and the hot spots downtown are just a mile or two away. If you want to have open space and still live in a city property, then President Country Club may be just right for you!
I am interested in learning more about President Country Club homes.


After a long hard day, there is nothing more comfortable and stress-free than sitting on your very own Lazyboy chair. Now, if you are scouting for a Lazyboy recliner, you might become a little overwhelmed at the range of options you have.

Rajiv Gandhi Bharat Ratna row: Kejriwal asks Alka Lamba to resign from post
NH Bureau Saturday, 22 December 2018 02:44:52 PM 55 seconds
New Delhi : Aam Aadmi Party is facing the heat of controversy after they moved a resolution in the Delhi Assembly over 1984 sikh-riots, asking to revoke Bharat Ratna awarded to former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi.
However, the party later clarified their stand over it and claimed that the demand was not a part of the original resolution.
An internal tussle has also started among the leaders after Alka Lamba alleged that she was forced to support the resolution and now she has been asked to resign from the post for going against the party line.
"The party has asked for my resignation. I'm ready to resign but Rajiv Gandhi has sacrificed a lot for the country. I did not support the proposal in the assembly. I have been asked to resign because I spoke against the decision of the party," Lamba told ANI.
AAP later clarified that the amendment about Rajiv Gandhi was not a part of the original document and was added as a note by legislator Somnath Bharti. Party leaders say that disciplinary action has been ordered against Bharti as well.

Explore Melbourne's vibrant and fascinating maze of lanes and arcades which have propelled Melbourne into a local and international attraction voted seven times the most livable city in the world. Our tours are personalised to your interests including by arrangement at a time and date of your choice.
We blend different themes into our walks to provide a personalised experience such as street art, heritage icons, architecture, retail and hospitality, unusual and hidden places, gold rush, iconic characters and the evolution of the lanes system. And great stories! If you have a special interest area just let us know!
Our places are carefully chosen to the tell the Melbourne Story from settlement to boom to interwar to post war migration to the rise of the most Liveable City.
We provide maps, chocolate and historic souvenirs.
Our tours usually start from Federation Square and are up to 2.5 hours (or whatever length suits).
"Thanks everyone for a terrific day yesterday exploring the interesting but often overlooked side of Melbourne. I think everyone learned something new and we were all delighted to learn that the Coles ghosts have assured us that next year's bonus is already a done deal! Thanks so much to our terrific guide whose enthusiasm and passion for Melbourne shone through in all of his stories and trinkets shared with the team!" The Team .
I just wanted to say thank you for the (corporate) walking tour on Wednesday. I've spoken to a number of people from the group and they all could not speak highly enough of you and the tour content. They all thoroughly enjoyed it and learnt a lot about our city….even the locals! So thank you again and I'll definitely keep your details on hand for the next time we have international visitors.' Michelle.
Every lane we choose tells an important story about Melbourne today and past. Robert Hoddle designed Melbourne's street map in 1836 but refused to include lanes – he saw them as detrimental to the respectable establishment. Melbourne's little laneways evolved to create access to buildings during subsequent population explosions such as the gold rush. Some were later roofed as arcades to provide refuge from the weather and crowds and to provide more space for shops. The lanes therefore symbolically and practically are the 'People's Melbourne'.
In the late 1990s the lanes became the key strategy for Melbourne's successful reincarnation as the 'most liveable' city in the world. The approx 200 lanes are rated by the city according to their heritage values. It can be a life-long journey exploring all of Melbourne's ever-changing lanes .
