Southwestern style is influenced by native Spanish and Indian cultures and their natural, living environments. By becoming familiar with the terrain that makes up the Southwestern landscape, you'll gain a better understanding of Southwest design -- exterior and interior. The geography of the Southwest includes dry deserts, green valleys, high plateaus and volcanic mesas. Southwestern homes blend the earthy with the refined, incorporating the natural colors, textures and resources of the landscape surrounding them.
The exteriors of Southwestern-style homes typically encompass a variety of specific architectural styles ranging from traditional Pueblo Revival to Contemporary Southwest. Characteristics of Pueblo Revival homes include earth-colored stucco walls with rounded corners; rows of wooden beams; vigas that protrude through exterior walls; and flat roofs drained by canals. This design also features recessed casement windows with lintels perched above them and staggered roof lines. Some Southwest homes are constructed with design variations, such as an enclosed courtyard or a long covered porch at the exterior front entrance, ornamental grill work over the windows and slightly sloped terra-cotta covered roofs. Contemporary Southwest design incorporates traditional architectural with modern design elements, such as steel or glass vigas, vibrantly colored stucco finishes and squared corners.
Neutral-colored stucco walls in creamy white, light gold or soft caramel are common identifying features in the interior spaces of a Southwestern-style home. Hand-painted tiles in brightly colored patterns, which help create a festive accent wall or kitchen backsplash, are a signature feature of Southwestern wall decor. Wood-covered or beam-punctured ceilings typify traditional Southwest design and incorporate a natural, earthy design element. Southwest floor treatments are identified by terra-cotta tiles in a honey or adobe color. They wear well and enhance the natural flavor of the surrounding landscape. Woven, Native American area rugs in square, stripe or chevron patterns find their place atop tile floors, offering color, texture and warmth.
Earth-tone colors -- forest green, slate blue, adobe red, dusty beige, muddy brown, rich salmon -- make up the main color palette in a Southwestern-style home to evoke the peace and serenity found in the surrounding landscape. These colors are often displayed in the furniture, walls, floors and ceiling. This subdued color scheme is sometimes punctuated with bright orange, turquoise blue, squash gold and red clay threaded throughout the home in the form of decorative accents, textiles and other furnishings. Taos blue, a mixture of sky blue and violet, was introduced by the early Spaniards and is often used in entry doors and windowpanes, as it is thought to ward off evil spirits.
Southwestern furniture design typically features rugged wood pieces, such as dining and accent tables, armoires and chairs with a distressed finish and decorative metal accents. Warm wood tones resonate in Southwest furniture design, and they are often mixed with painted pieces in vibrant colors, such as cobalt blue, lemon yellow or terra-cotta red, to complement the Southwest color palette. Upholstery materials in leather, suede or woven fabrics shout Southwestern design for sofas, loveseats and chairs. Wall hangings, native clothing, woven blankets or Southwest-inspired paintings adorn interior walls. Interior accents, such as earthen pottery, wrought-iron lamps and candleholders, pots of cactus, rock specimens and ceramic lizards, help to identify Southwestern style.

A cute magician girl is sold into slavery to a creepy wizard who wants her to be his wife.
Good first episode. As far as I could tell, it was an exact repeat of the OVA though, so if you've already seen that you may be able to skip a bit.
Looking forward to the rest. I enjoy the manga as well so I know this should be good.
Edit: Thanks to Derek for pointing out that I watched the wrong episode. Now I watched the right one.
And, since I can easily compare, having just rewatched the OVA, the first episode of the series feels like a big improvement! It does a fabulous job of capturing how simultaneously cute and creepy Elias is. My one complaint is, what the hell were the translators thinking when they went with "Sleigh Beggies". That is the stupidest thing I ever read.
You might want to double check what you watched, both your screencaps come from the OVA rather than the first ep. (Because of the way Crunchy lays out it's UI, it's sometimes pretty easy to pick the wrong thing. I do it all the time.) There's nothing that I recall in the first ep that duplicates the OVA.
Interesting, thanks for sharing! Had no idea it was an actual thing. Still sounds really stupid haha.

Developing your playwriting
Continue to explore the key elements of dramatic writing, and benefit from supportive and detailed feedback on your own work. New students with some playwriting experience are welcome to join.
Course Code: HW028
Thu, eve, 20 Apr - 29 Jun '23
Started Tue, eve, 17 Jan - 28 Mar '23
Duration: 11 sessions (over 11 weeks)
This course continues to explore the fundamental techniques of writing for the stage, including dialogue, character, structure, story and performance. You'll analyse more challenging texts for inspiration, and will have the opportunity experiment with a wide range of theatrical forms and styles in class. There is a strong workshopping component and there will be plenty of practical writing exercises to get you producing scenes, plots and characters of your own.
Students say: "It provided inspiration"; "I liked the different angles from which we studied plays and characters - this really helped me to examine my own writing more closely"; "It was inspiring to see how people revised scenes and improved them based on feedback from the workshop"; "I enjoyed hearing others' work, discussing plays, and learning about playwriting devices.".
The course will build on the basic elements that are necessary in the making of a play, such as characterisation,
theme, plot, subtext, dialogue and style (naturalism, expressionism, surrealism). You'll analyse more challenging existing texts, writers, and theatre makers for inspiration and will be asked to experiment with different forms, styles and techniques in class as well as working on your own plays.
- Respond to and assess pieces of writing with sensitivity.
- Demonstrate increased familiarity with a range of techniques required for dramatic writing
- Experiment with different theatrical forms and styles to develop your own voice
- Work towards a first draft of a play.
This is a continuation of 'Ways into playwriting', and returning students may have completed several previous terms. This course will not cover the basics, so total beginners are advised to join 'Ways into playwriting' and progress from there. However, new students are very welcome to join if they have some previous writing experience and a keen interest in the theatre through reading plays and seeing productions. They should have begun work on a play or have an idea for a project they'd like to work on.
Students need to have a good standard of written and spoken English and should be willing to join in group discussions and feedback sessions, and to share their work with the group.
If you have prior or current experience working in theatre but have never written a play or taken a playwriting course, we recommend that you enrol on 'Ways into playwriting' before progressing to the intermediate or advanced level.
Writing, improvisations and discussion. You'll be expected to produce written work at home. You will also be asked to read scenes or extracts from plays outside of class. You might be asked to go to the theatre with the group to see a performance.
No additional costs. Please bring a pen and paper.
You may progress to 'Advanced playwriting' or, if you have a draft of a play in progress that you feel ready to submit for rigorous critique, 'Advanced playwriting: workshop'. City Lit also offer a range of drama writing courses for specific mediums including radio and television.
All students are invited to join us at Late Lines, our regular performance night for City Lit writers. Students are also encouraged to submit their work to Between the Lines, our annual anthology of creative writing. For the latest news, courses and events, stay in touch with the Department on Facebook and Twitter.

Unfortunately this is not working for me either. It seems like this is an old problem.
I tried it but no luck. If it works for you let me know, I may have to submit a ticket.
I'm trying to preview the domains in the server but doesn't works.
I really need preview the sites before the DNS propagation.
The previews doesn't works if the sites has php index.
Please forward this error screen to 65.98.11.154's WebMaster.


Just looking for a bit of advise.
I am currently on my cut, and the only area that doesn't seem to change is around the pecs. Would the addition of Novadex XT or Nolvadex help with this, and if so which would be best?
These are very different products - Novadex is a prescription only medication which is often used after a cycle of steroids or pro-hormones, I'm no expert but I can't see how this would help your cut.
I would possibly move this to the supplement forum as it's more a supplement rather than diet-related query.
Unlikely to help hugely with fat removal around the pectoral area, I'd look to lowering your overall bodyfat percentage to below 10% (pectoral fat shouldn't be an issue then) then consider supplementation.

Covid-19 Smacks the Craft Distilling Industry with 4,600 Furloughs and $700 Million in Lost Sales
The hospitality industry has been hit exceptionally hard by the Covid-19 pandemic across the United States. As a part of the industry, craft distillers are no exception as they have been crushed with restrictions, limited openings and shutdowns.
Despite what you read in many headlines about an increase in distilled spirits sales not all distilleries are alike. The large heritage distillers, many that have been making spirits since the end of Prohibition, are doing ok however craft distillers are highly dependent upon tourism and walk-in sales and are really hurting. In fact, the survey results you'll see below show that 40% of craft distillers derive more than half of their business from tasting rooms sales.
Craft distillers are an integral part of the communities in which they operate. In 2019, the 2,000 distilleries that dot the American landscape directly employed over 15,000 people with sales reaching nearly $1.8 billion, representing a total retail value of almost $3.2 billion. Unfortunately, the pandemic has changed all that and the industry has seen more than $700 million in annualized lost sales, representing 41% of total craft business and the loss of almost 4,600 jobs – almost 31% of all employees.
A new study conducted by the Distilled Spirits Council of the United States – DISCUS created based on data from a June 2020 survey by the American Distilling Institute – ADI, a trade association for craft distillers breaks down the findings.
Distilled Spirits Council CEO Chris Swonger.
"This study draws two important conclusions regarding the growth and future viability of the craft distilling industry," said Chris Swonger, president and CEO of the Distilled Spirits Council of the United States. "The analysis underscores the importance of craft distilleries as economic drivers in their communities that create jobs and support local farmers and tradesmen. It also makes clear the extreme challenges these small businesses are facing and the need for Congress to immediately act to help these cherished distilleries recover."
The study was conducted to analyze the size of the craft distilling market and determine what impact COVID-19 restrictions have had on craft distillers in the United States in terms of sales and jobs. The survey includes feedback from nearly 300 distilleries across all 50 states and the District of Columbia.
Key Findings on Impact of COVID-19 Restrictions on Craft Distillers
Due to lost tasting room sales and lost wholesale sales, craft distillers are projected to lose $700 million in annualized sales, representing a loss of 41 percent of total craft business.
The craft distilling industry has been forced to furlough 4,600 employees – almost 31 percent of all employees.
Craft distillers rely heavily on sales through on-site tasting rooms, which have been hit hard by the pandemic.
In 2019 an estimated $919 million of craft distiller revenues came from on-site sales; more than 40 percent of craft distillers derive more than 50 percent of their business from tasting rooms sales.
Approximately 40 percent of craft distillers reported that their on-site sales were down 25 percent or more; more than 15 percent said that their tasting rooms were completely shut down.
More than 40 percent of craft distillers report that their wholesale business is down 25 percent or more; 11 percent said they have lost all of their wholesale business.
Key Findings on Size of the Craft Distilling Market
Craft distilling is a $1.8 billion industry, generating approximately $3.2 billion in retail sales in 2019.
There are more than 2,000 craft distilleries operating in the U.S. that collectively generate more than 15,000 direct jobs.
Craft distillers are small businesses within the hospitality industry.
45 percent of craft distillers operate in just one state; only 12 percent of craft distillers operate in more than 10 states.
70 percent employ 10 or fewer employees; 55 percent employ 1-5 workers.
Approximately 60 percent sell less than 2,500 cases per year.
"Craft distillers are a special community of men and women who entered this industry with a passion for spirits and a dream to build a craft distillery in their local town," said Erik Owens, President of the American Distilling Institute, which represents more than 600 independently owned craft distillers.
"For many, these dreams have been shattered in the blink of an eye. These small businesses are going to need the continued support from federal and state legislators to weather this unpredictable storm."
DISCUS has been working closely with distilled spirits state guilds and associations to urge Congress for additional economic relief. Key to the craft distilling industry's survival is the passage of the Craft Beverage Modernization and Tax Reform Act (H.R. 1175/ S. 362), which will make the current federal excise tax rates permanent. If the legislation fails to pass by year's end, craft distillers will face a 400 percent tax increase in January 2021, creating further financial turmoil for these small businesses.

Five 'Bourbon Capital of the World' Distilleries Release the 'Bardstown Collection' – Sells Out in 2 Hours


"During the 90's Paul Cardew designed for a number of famous brands under license- Portmeirion, Royal Doulton, Lilliput Lane, Harmony Kingdom- to name but a few. But his greatest claim was an association with The Walt Disney Company. Today Paul Cardew continues to create even more interesting designs appealing to the ever changing tastes of the discerning consumer."
The adorable tea pot is crafted from quality bone china and has substantial weight to it. The creamy tea pot embellished with a pastel pink with white polka dot backdrop sets the stage for the chocolate confections and whimsical wording that makes this teapot shine. The chocolate-covered strawberry that adorns the lid is as charming as can be.
There are many reasons this teapot and its complementary companions—the cup and saucer sets and the sandwich trays—have a special place in our heart. For one, the colors are sweet and playful and the pattern brings our fanciful childhood daydreams to life every time we pour a cup of tea in the afternoon.
The eight ounce cup and saucer set presents itself as the perfect pink with little white polka dots and an ever so charming array of chocolates and confections with words that dance about the tea cup as if in wonderland. Cardew Designs ensure that no part of their ceramics are left unembellished; and so, a cute chocolate is printed on the handle and an assortment of bonbons await inside the cup.
The saucer is encircled with chocolates and the words "Nothing says I love you more than chocolate." The rectangular tray is eye-candy in itself; though, we do find it perfect for tea sandwiches, scones, pastries, and of course, chocolates. To my surprise, my Pink Princess layered loaf tea cake also sits prettily on this beautiful tray.
It's the most whimsical and amusing tea set we have discovered—always heightening the enchantment of tea parties. Moreover, they are microwave and dishwasher safe which is very helpful at the end of an entertaining tea party.
Cardew Design positions their products as "the world's most unique ceramics," and rightfully so!
The Cardew Design Chocolates collection is surely one you may like to collect for yourself. It would also make a most delightful gift for the tea lover or chocolate lover in your life.

Q: Powershell FindAll() ComException I have a powershell script that we use during a Microsoft SCCM PXE task sequence for naming a PC. It worked flawlessly until a recent upgrade to SCCM 2012 R2 by the primary server admin.
Now when the code runs search if a user is in a specified AD group needed to complete the PXE build it gives this COM error
Exception calling "FindAll" with "0" argument(s): "Unknown error (0x80005000)"

I have searched far and wide to try and solve this. It seems like a .Net error but I have been unsuccessful in resolving it.
Below is the relevant code. Note that this is being ran in Windows PE that is included with SCCM 2012 R2 as well as the current Windows ADK. It is most likely going to work just fine on a normal PC as it does on mine.
Things to note, you will need to change to match you environments

A: Welp.. found my answer, fixed it Aug 11th. Reddit thread.
Previously in SCCM 2012 prior to R2 the boot image was a Windows 8 PE4 image in which we had to integrated ADSI back into to using a version of it written by Johan Arwidmark. This can be found here for reference.
This time around after the R2 update and subsequently the forced upgrade of the boot images to 8.1 PE5 since no prior boot images would boot from PXE we had to add ADSI back in again this time from here. Previously and this time it was done through the configuration manager under drivers, its added as a driver with its required files and is added as a driver component into the boot.wim but in reality after digging for quite some time I found that it wasn't actually adding the needed dll files into the image even though the operation returned successful.
What I ended up doing was manually mounting the wim file on my PC with DISM, adding the driver from a folder, allowing unsigned ones to be installed. then manually verified the dlls were put into
place in the mounted System32 folder. After I did that I was able to unmount the wim committing changes, replace the boot wim used by the server, distribute content and test it. Which was successful.
Just as a reference, the required files are listed below and are also in the readme's. In my case they had to come from a Windows 8.1 32bit install. If going for 64bit they have to come from a computer or image with Windows 8.1 64bit

Q: Using inotifywait to process two files in parallel I am using:
inotifywait -m -q -e close_write --format %f . | while IFS= read -r file; do
cp -p "$file" /path/to/other/directory
done

to monitor a folder for file completion, then moving it to another folder.
Files are made in pairs but at separate times, ie File1_001.txt is made at 3pm, File1_002.txt is made at 9pm. I want to monitor for the completion of BOTH files, then launch a script.
script.sh File1_001.txt File1_002.txt

So I need to have another inotifywait command or a different utility, that can also identify that both files are present and completed, then start the script.
Does anyone know how to solve this problem?

A: I found a Linux box with inotifywait installed on it, so now I understand what it does and how it works. :)
Is this what you need?
#!/bin/bash

if [ "$1" = "-v" ]; then
        Verbose=true
        shift
else
        Verbose=false
fi

file1="$1"
file2="$2"

$Verbose && printf 'Waiting for %s and %s.\n' "$file1" "$file2"

got1=false
got2=false
while read thisfile; do
        $Verbose && printf ">> $thisfile"
        case "$thisfile" in
                $file1) got1=true; $Verbose && printf "... it's a match!" ;;
                $file2) got2=true; $Verbose && printf "... it's a match!" ;;
        esac
        $Verbose && printf '\n'
        if $got1 && $got2; then
                $Verbose && printf 'Saw both files.\n'
                break
        fi
done < <(inotifywait -m -q -e close_write --format %f .)

This runs a single inotifywait but parses its output in a loop that exits when both files on the command line ($1 and $2) are seen to have been updated.
Note that if one file is closed and then later is reopened while the second file is closed, this script obviously will not detect the open file. But that may not be a concern in your use case.
Note that there are many ways of building a solution -- I've shown you only one.

The Answer to Your Alpha Hardware Problems!
Software Concepts International (SCI) has partnered with Stromasys to provide an Alpha virtualization products, CHARON-AXP, that allows you to run your Alpha applications unchanged on modern, high-performance, industry-standard (X86) hardware. Stromasys is the original and leading provider of enterprise-class cross-platform virtualization solutions, including PDP-11, Digital VAX and Alpha, HP 3000, and SPARC servers. By partnering with Stromasys, we are able to extend the life cycle of business and mission-critical systems through virtualization, modernization, and system enhancement.
The CHARON-AXP family of products are Alpha replacement systems, running as a software application on industry standard systems, such as an HP ProLiant server. They present to the Alpha operating system the exact copy of a Alpha system, and will run unmodified Alpha operating systems, layered software and applications. This makes conversion seamless and eliminates the need to implement new applications or re-educate employees. In fact, end users are unaware of the transition to the emulator except that their applications will run considerably faster!
SCI can install your Alpha OpenVMS operating system, on the virtual Alpha created by CHARON-AXP, directly from a system disk image from the original Alpha or from the original distribution kit. The applications and LMF license keys can be copied in binary format via the network, tape, floppy disk or CD. Due to the fact that the Alpha hardware is replaced and not the Alpha operating system, all original software functionality is maintained.

Q: Shall I go for 12.04 or 12.10 if I want stability and speed? I think this might be the most annoying question for the pros here, but I'd really like to know which version is better if I'd like a super fast start-up and processing speed. I know it rather depends on the CPU, but the OS is important too. I dont really care for the long term support since I normally re-install my system once a year. I'd just like to choose a stable and fast OS and I have been reading all sorts of things, but no one has given a proper answer to my question/doubt.
Thanks a lot.

UPDATE: if someone has already asked this, then please merge this with that post and close it. Thanks.

A: You should probably read some reviews about the two versions and decide yourself. The reviews I enjoy the most reading are those from dedoimedo.com


Mattel finally joined the 21st century last month with a new line of Barbie dolls that features diverse body types. But Nickolay Lamm's Lammily doll had the jump on the toy giant by a couple of years with his doll designed with the measurements of an average teen girl, and Lamm is even credited with being an influence on Barbie's evolution. Now he's turning his focus to Barbie's male counterpart, Ken. Currently in the crowdfunding stage, the boy Lammily, who comes dressed in a plaid shirt and jean shorts with loafers, was created using anthropometric data to be realistically proportioned to represent the average 19 year-old male. Although it's Barbie who is usually at the center of discussions regarding doll-playing and body image, Lamm argues that the unrealistic proportions featured on male dolls like Ken also impacts men and boys and says that he personally struggled with body image issues in high school. Learn how the male Lammily doll differs from Mattel's Ken doll after the jump.
The male Lammily or "real Ken" as he has been nicknamed, is currently in the prototype stage, but the differences between him and a typical Ken doll are immediately evident. The male Lammily is without a chiseled six pack and bulging biceps, and his waist and hips look normal, although they are both a far cry away from Dadbod Ken. Honestly, when you look at them side-by-side, Ken's body parts looks grossly disproportionate, so the Lammily doll already accomplished one purpose of pointing out how ridiculous the Barbie proportions are for both men and women. With the tagline "Real is Beautiful," the campaign for the new doll focuses on the Lammily's inner qualities such as his sense of humor, big heart, strong sense of self, and respect for others. On the physical front, he does feature articulated elbows, hands, knees, and feet, making him more active than a typical doll. The male Lammily dolls will come with a storybook pamphlet detailing the doll's backstory, but we're pretty sure your kiddos won't have any trouble creating imaginative scenarios and incorporating this more realistic doll into their play. I say "more" realistic because, even though Lamm uses actual physical data from 19 year-olds, the male Lammily still looks pretty well-maintained and boasts piercing blue eyes, well-defined features, and a shock of thick, dark hair (Lamm did mention that the creation of a male Lammily with male pattern baldness could happen in the future). Still, this new realistically proportioned doll is an encouraging option for the millions of young boys and girls out there for whom doll play is a daily activity, and its creation will hopefully encourage more boys to explore this form of creative play.

House Rabbit Society is an international, nonprofit animal welfare organization with headquarters in Richmond, California.
Since HRS was founded in 1988, over 25,000 rabbits have been rescued through our foster homes across the United States. Many of these bunnies had run out of time at animal shelters and were scheduled for euthanasia; others had been deemed "unadoptable" because of age, health, or disposition. Because there is no time limit on our rescued rabbits, HRS volunteers are able to spend time getting to know each individual bunny and can then match him or her with an appropriate home. We neuter/spay all incoming rabbits, provide necessary veterinary care, and attend to their social needs.
In caring for so many diverse bunnies, our volunteer-based organization has learned a tremendous amount about their social, behavioral, and medical requirements. By sharing the collected information these rabbits have taught us, we are able to help other people improve their relationships with their rabbits. HRS provides educational materials to veterinarians and humane societies and helps individual rabbit people solve behavior and health problems, primarily through our web site, www.rabbit.org, and our publication, House Rabbit Journal.

\section{Appendix}

Single crystals of $\alpha$-MnS were grown via chemical transport reaction using iodine as transport agent. The starting material was synthesized by direct reaction of the elements manganese (powder 99.8\% Alfa Aesar) and sulfur (pieces 99.99\% Alfa Aesar) at 975\,$^\circ$C in evacuated fused silica tubes with an inset of glassy carbon for 7 days. The obtained microcrystalline powder was recrystallized via chemical transport reaction in a temperature gradient from 1000 $^\circ$C (source) to 800\,$^\circ$C (sink). The transport agent iodine (Alfa Aesar 99,998\%) was introduced at a concentration of 8.5\,mg/cm$^3$ of the fused silica ampoule. After 14 days, the experiment was stopped by quenching the ampoule in cold water. The obtained crystals showed a well defined octahedral shape or a truncated octahedral shape depending on the growth location inside the ampoule.
The largest crystals have edges of approximately  1\,mm length. A photograph of the sample measured is
displayed in Fig. \ref{Fig8}. Few selected small crystallites were ground and the obtained X-ray powder pattern clearly confirmed the rock salt crystal structure of $\alpha$-MnS with a lattice constant of 5.224\,\AA. \\

For more clarity on the relation between the Sugano-Tanabe-Kamimura diagrams in absence and in presence of the $3s$ core hole, the diagrams of Fig.\,\ref{Fig5} are reproduced in Fig.\,\ref{Fig9} only for the multiplets relevant for the analysis of the NIXS spectra. Figure\,\ref{Fig9} (a) shows the evolution with $10Dq$ of a singlet (purple), triplet (green) and quintet (orange) of the Mn $3d^6$ configuration. Figure\,\ref{Fig9} (b) shows the corresponding states of the Mn $3s^13d^6$ configuration (i.e. the states characterized by the same $L_d$ and $S_d$). The triplets and quintets are split into two replicas, one with parallel $\bold{S}_d$ and $\bold{S}_s$ (thick full lines) and the other with $\bold{S}_d$ anti-parallel to $\bold{S}_s$ (dashed lines). The arrows indicate the shift in energy of the replicas. The singlets (purple thin lines) are not affected by the presence of the $3s$ hole. The minor energy shift between the energy of the singlet states in the two panels is due to the different calculated values of the $F^2_{3d-3d}$ and $F^4_{3d-3d}$ Slater integrals for the two configurations. This is also the cause for the small difference between the energy of the triplet state at $10Dq=0$\,eV  in Fig.\,\ref{Fig9} (a) and the reference energy for the splitting of the corresponding replicas (starting point of the vertical green arrows) in Fig.\,\ref{Fig9} (b). Since the Slater integrals always have to be finely tuned to fit the experimental data, these minor effects do not affect the analysis of NIXS spectra and are shown here only for the sake of completeness.

    \caption{Schematic diagram of the $s$-NIXS excitation process for a $3d^5$ system. }
    \label{Fig10}
\end{figure}

Figure\,\ref{Fig10} shows a schematic diagram of the $s$-NIXS excitation process for a $3d^5$ system. The left panel displays the system in the high-spin state, and the right panel in the low-spin state. From the high-spin ground state, it is only possible to excite a $3s$ electron with the spin opposite to that of the half-filled $3d$ shell. This leads to final states with $S_d = 2$ (quintet in the 3d shell) and $\braket{\hat{\bold{S}}_d\cdot\hat{\bold{S}}_s}>0$ (parallel $3s$ and $3d$ spins), corresponding to the solid orange lines in Figs.\,\ref{Fig5} (b) and \ref{Fig9} (b). There are two possibilities to do this, namely to excite the electron into a $t_{2g}$ (arrow 1 in Fig.\,\ref{Fig10}) or into an $e_g$ (arrow 2 in Fig.\,\ref{Fig10}) orbital, giving rise to two peaks in the spectrum as indicated by the two stars in Figs.\,\ref{Fig5} (b) and \ref{Fig9} (b).

From the low-spin ground state, the excitation of the $3s$ electron to the $3d$ shell leads to $S_d = 1$ and $\braket{\hat{\bold{S}}_d\cdot\hat{\bold{S}}_s}<0$ final states (triplet in the $3d$ shell), dashed green lines in Figs.\,\ref{Fig5} (b) and \ref{Fig9} (b), or $S_d = 1$ final states (singlet in the $3d$ shell), purple lines in Figs.\,\ref{Fig5} (b) and \ref{Fig9} (b). In terms of orbital degrees of freedom, an excitation into a $t_{2g}$ orbital is only possible (arrow 3 in Fig.\,\ref{Fig10}) for the $3s$ electron having the spin opposite to the $3d$ shell, producing the low-spin $3s^13d(t_{2g})^6$ configuration. This excitation is marked by the star lying on the purple line with the steepest downward-slope in Figs.\,\ref{Fig5} (b) and \ref{Fig9} (b).

An excitation into an $e_g$ orbital, will produce a $3s^13d(e_g)^1(t_{2g})^5$ state, which can be a spin singlet or triplet as far as the intra $3d$ shell configuration is concerned. This gives rise to two peaks. These two peaks will have an intensity ratio of 1\,:\,3 reflecting the degeneracies of the spin singlet vs. triplet states. This can be understood in more detail as follows. An excitation of the $3s$ electron with the spin parallel to that of the $3d$ shell (arrow 4 in Fig.\,\ref{Fig10}) reaches a state with more up spins than down spins in the $3d$ shell, i.e. this is a spin  triplet state. On the other hand, an excitation of the $3s$ electron with the spin opposite to that of the $3d$ shell (arrow 5 in Fig.\,\ref{Fig10}) results in a state with equal amounts of up and down spins. This state belongs half to the spin singlet state and half to the triplet. The excitation into an $e_g$ orbital thus yields $\frac{1}{2}$\,:\,$\frac{3}{2}$ or 1\,:\,3 intensity ratio for the spin singlet vs. triplet states. Next we need to consider the orbital aspect of the Coulomb interactions. In this case, the Coulomb attraction between the $e_g$ electron and the $t_{2g}$ hole (in the otherwise full $t_{2g}$ subshell) depends on their relative orientations (the $x^2$-$y^2$ electron and $xy$ hole versus $3z^2$-$r^2$ electron and $xy$ hole). This orbital degree of freedom will then split each of those spin singlet/triplet states further into two. So the excitation to an $e_g$ orbital results in two small stars on the purple lines (spin singlet in the $3d$ shell) and two large stars on the dashed green lines (spin triplet in the $3d$ shell) as indicated in Figs.\,\ref{Fig5} (b) and \ref{Fig9} (b).

10 movies that make men cry
These 10 movies make even menliest men cry, although they did their best to conceal it and never admit the truth ...
It is clear that men and women in different ways express their emotions. Women show their emotions, including those that occur while watching movies, falls considerably easier than men. Moreover, it does not matter whether this is what the film depicts sad or cheerful - for women is not a problem to shed a tear. The dog fell off a cliff? Sigh. Two people get married? Sigh. City of London burning in the fire? Sobbing!
In men, the emotions caused by watching a movie exhibit in a different way. In men even when they are really touched by the action of the film, do their best to conceal their emotional reactions, and we present a list of 10 films that have wept and menliest men, although they have done everything to conceal!
1. Forrest Gump
This comedy / drama follows the life of a person with limited intelligence - Forrest Gump from the very beginning of his life and growing up in a small town Greenbow, Alabama. Forrest Gump, played by Tom Hanks, as a little boy found the love of his life in his best friend Jenny Curran, played by Robin Wright.
Forrest is going through various life adventures, of which a large part of the history of the United States, separated from his Jenny.
She, on the other hand, growing up surrounded by the full drug does not referring to her childhood friend - until she decided to stop taking drugs. The two then develop a romance, but Jenny soon goes and comes back after a few years with the child, and the news that has AIDS. Jenny dies, while Forrest is left alone with his young son.
The fact that Forrest spends the whole life without the woman he loves, and his character, which is such that the whole life seemed only right and just cause, in men causes the feeling of injustice of life that thrives to their eyes filled with tears.
2. Brazil
This film is a dark comedy which is set on a dysfunctional social order. Although the film is named Brazil, the story takes place in the Si-Fi UK. The story follows Sam Lowry (Jonathan Pryce), a dreamer who works monotonous bureaucratic job and regularly sees a vision of a beautiful woman in his dreams. While trying to evaporate some bureaucratic error, he meets a woman Jill Layton (Kim Greist), which it bears an uncanny resemblance to a woman from his vision, and the two soon became lovers.
However, the aforementioned bureaucratic error leads to information that Jill labeled as terrorists, while he also characterized as terrorists because of acquaintance with rogue engineer Archibald, played by Robert De Niro. Sam and Jill get caught, but were soon rescued by Archibald and his friends in the lightning "SWAT" action. The point is, what is this rescue happened just in Sam's mind, while Jill is actually dead, and Sam performed lobotomies.
The fact that he found the love of which he dreamed of all his life and then lost forever is what men leads to a "glass eyes".
3. Gladiator
Maximus (Russell Crowe) is a general who is betrayed by a friend - the successor to the Roman throne, Commodus. He ordered the murder of his wife and son, and Maximus became a slave, and soon after, and Gladiator. After his first victory in the Roman Colosseum, Maximus was presented the new ruler of Rome - Commodus, who later makes every effort to set up future fights so that Maximus be defeated and killed, while Maximus in revenge constantly wins and wins the hearts of the audience.
Commodus is forced to confront Maximus in the arena, to regain the support of the audience and the people, but before the fight, difficult wounds Maximus, in order to gain an advantage. However, wounded Maximus manage to find the strength, and the fight before an audience and kills Commodus. Almost at the same time and Maximus dies from previous wounds, and shortly after the Roman elite rehabilitate Maximus, frees all political prisoners and established the Republic.
The betrayal of his best friend, the loss of family and commitment to what is right and good, and the tragic end of life Maximus managed to grief even men with stone hearts.
4. A Beautiful Mind
John Nash (Russell Crowe) is an American mathematician who sees people who are not real. During Nash study, we see it as an ingenious young man who successfully solve the most difficult mathematical problems and published his first mathematical theory for which he receives highest awards. After that his life is going downhill - a lot of people he had seen up to that time were not even real, subjected to electric shock and a large number of ultra-strong drugs.
In order to preserve as much common sense, John accepts bureaucratic job at the university where he studied, and later it becomes accepted to teach classes. Many years later, he received the Nobel Prize for his published theorem.
The scene when all his colleagues approached to his table to leave their pen, which is the greater sign of respect and acceptance is actually most sensitive scenes of great film full of strong emotions.
5. The Green Mile
John Coffey (Michael Clarke Duncan), the Afro-American huge structure with a big heart and naive nature - that is to say the "good guy who would not hurt a fly" - who is sentenced to death for a crime he did not commit. What makes Coffey different from the other prisoners, beside gigantic biceps, is an unusual gift that allows him to treat his fists.
It helps the manager's wife, who is dying of cancer, and also manages to heal and the main defender, Paul Edgecomb (Tom Hanks) who is suffering from inflammation of the bladder. Coffey is good, innocent and talented man who ended up in the electric chair, despite the overwhelming efforts guards to prove his innocence.
Unjust situation and impotence guard, made a lot of eyes are on tears - both male and female.
6. St. Vincent
Bill Murray interprets Vincent Mackin, alcoholics and war veteran from Vietnam whose only goal in life finance a very expensive home for adults in whom is his wife who suffers from Alzheimer's disease, senseless drinking and having sex with a pregnant strip dancer Daka (Naomi Watts).
Vincent agrees to keep the son of his neighbor Maggie Bronstin (Melissa McCaerthy) every day after school. Eventually the two became friends, Vincent teach Oliver things that he will need in life: How to fight, how to bet on horse racing. Their friendship was interrupted when Maggie, Oliver's mother, lost her battle with her ex-husband for custody in court, due Vincent activities with her son.
The school project, Oliver elected Vincent for a modern saint because of all the good things that he did in life - rescuing fellow soldiers in Vietnam, regular visiting churches and laundry of his sick wife. Oliver presents his project before a large audience consisting of the families of his classmates and friends, and Vincent received strong applause and a standing ovation from all those present.
The scene that shows that Vincent in life, in their own specific way, did good work, and that it is generally recognized as a good man, whatever his faults, is a very emotional moment which causes tears in the majority of men.
7. Good Will Hunting
Will Hunting (Matt Damon) is a young man from South Boston with an incredible memory that "devoured" books. He could become one of the leading physicists and mathematicians in the world, but it is not what he wants to deal with. He wants to work on the construction site with his best friend Chucky (Ben Affleck), drinking in bars, and to fight.
This kind of life led him to trouble with the law, but in the end the court received a sentence that includes regular cooperation with Dr. Sean Maguire (Robin Williams) - psychotherapist whose late wife is at the very center of the world.
Chucky is trying to convince Will to accept a gift that has to do something great with his life, while Dr. Sean managed to get close with Will, managing to get him to open up, as this throws into helpless tears.
In the end, Will goes to the pursuit of his ambitions without saying goodbye, and the scene in which his friend Chucky in an apartment realizes that Will went in search of a better life and shows selfless happiness for Will's decision is a moment that will make men's eyes shed tears.
8. The Deerhunter
The story of the film revolves around three friends from Pennsylvania: Mike Vronsky (Robert De Niro), Pushkov Steven (John Savage) and Nick Chevotarevich (Christofer Walken) - which went to war in Vietnam. Captured by the enemy, they are forced to play Russian roulette, while the Vietnamese are laughing and bet on the winner.
During the escape they split, and Nick back in the US alone. He's losing his mind and went to play Russian roulette in the circles of the Russian underworld in America. There it was Mike, but Nick did not recognize him. Mike decided to play Russian Roulette with Nick, to Nick flinched from the madness and remembered his friend. Nick managed to regain memory and failure to remember the mother, but at this point pulls the trigger and the bullet passes through his brain.
Losing friends, especially fellow soldiers with whom he fought side by side, is what causes tears in the eyes of most men.
This film has nazi soldiers, the crowd of spectacular explosions and probably the best opening scenes of war films ever.
A group of American soldiers is given mission, immediately after the invasion of Normandy in World War 2, whose aim was to find private Ryan (Matt Damon). Commander John Miller (Tom Hanks) and a group of soldiers traveling through Normandy to the last known location of private Ryan along the way fighting with the Germans.
Finally ending in Ramelli, where finding Ryan. All together, set the last line of resistance against the German offensive, and at the end of the fight survives only three of them, including Ryan. Commander Miller, mortally wounded, dying says Ryan, "Earn this," and that in his life proves that these soldiers who rescued him not died for nothing.
Losing a friend in combat, who have given their lives in order to save Rayan and pledged him to live a life that will make them proud of it, is a difficult situation because that every man should cry.
10. The Shawshank Redemption
The film tells the story Andy Dufresne (Tim Robbins) who has been sentenced to life imprisonment for murdering his wife, but viewers never know whether it is actually guilty or not.
Andy spends 16 years in Shawshank prison, where he was regularly attacked a prison gang that called itself "The Sisters." Inside the prison over the years gained a few friends, led by Red Redding (Morgan Freeman). Andy spent years digging a hole inside his cell, through which he eventually managed to escape. Red was released for good behavior on parole and found himself with Andy in Mexico.
However, the end of the movie's not what is on the top of the list. The scene that this film is set in the first place is approximately in the middle of the film. It is the old man's prison librarian, Brooks Hatlen (James Whitmore), which is after spent all his life in prison been released from prison to the outside world that for him after so many years is a terrible unknown and the society in which he can not find his way - and at the same time in prison stay friends who were his only family. He was dressed in his best suit and hanged himself, and his decision to leave this world in its own way, as well as the unusual, the sad fate will make cry every human being with half a heart.
Extend your life by looking at the lush beautys
Time for a little beauty. This sexy gallery is not due to the fact that the weather is not good, something bothering you. Simply because we love to watch the beauty in all its forms. Enjoy!
The luckiest unlucky man in the world!
Franjo Selak from the Croatian town of Petrinja, one might say, is one of the luckiest 'jinx' on the planet. This retired teacher, during life followed an unusual experience and unusual situations. About his experiences reporting are Discovery and the BBC, and the life story of this 86-year-old began in 1962.
1962, Franjo traveled by train from Dubrovnik to Sarajevo. Winter and road conditions have led to a train off the rails and falls into the icy river. While many passengers died from injuries in the crash of the train or drowned, Selak with a broken shoulder, managed to swim to shore and saved.
Just one year later, the plane for Rijeka whom Selak was flying, lost power to both engines. Cabin pressure dropped, and the door to the plane fell off. Probably sounds impossible, but Selak was dropped from a plane without a parachute. While the 19 passengers who were aboard died in the crash and explosion, Selak landed safely on a haystack - only with minor injuries.
This is just the beginning of what would Franjo survive in the next 40 years.
Two years later, Franjo was traveling by bus, but even like these he did not escape bad luck that followed him. Due to the ice on the road the driver lost control and the bus broke through the jetty and ended in the valley below. Four passengers were killed, but of course Franjo lived.
In 1970, while traveling in his car, his car caught fire while driving. Franjo jumped out of a moving car and saved him self.
Three years later, he repeated the same luck. This time the fire broke out on the dashboard of a car, and Franjo was passed with only minor burns.
1995, hit by a bus.
1996, a truck ran him off the mountain road. The car is finished in a ravine 300 meters deep, but Franjo was not in it. Somehow he managed to jump out of the car and attach it to a tree on a cliff.
Although fortunately no longer had a meeting with death, Franjo happened something else, which does not happen very often.
At age 72, the first time he bought a lottery ticket. As you can imagine, he won one million euros.
Myth or Truth: Men think about sex every 7 seconds
We asked a psychiatrist, whether this is myth or truth.
I believe that somewhere there are indeed men who so often think of sexual intercourse, but it is hardly seven seconds average. This argument does not stand. It was conducted a study of how often men and women think about sex. They were offered the terms sex, food and sleep.
The men first think of sex and then everything else offered, for women sex is only in third place. If we generalize, we can say that men more often think about sex, but is an important factor with which level of sexual desire we are born. There are six levels, from extremely high to extremely low sexual desire and to sexual aversion. If someone has an innate desire extremely high, then more thinks about the intercourse, but it also depends on life stages.
If a man and a woman working all day, taking care of the children, the household and poor sleep, they will think less about sex. On the other hand, summer vacations arouses in us greater sexual desire because the sun awakens certain neurotransmitters. Is strongly influenced by the age and sexual activity. If you are sexually active, the less you think about sex.
A big research on the boobs is complete, these are the results.
You've probably noticed that we have already published at least over 1000 pictures with beautiful women, but what you did not know is the fact that we are in the background monitored and carefully analyzed the pictures of these girls. Only the best are entered in the selection for the research on boobs, and read the results below.
85% of girls wearing the wrong size bra.
Bras actually help to hang breasts and flee to the navel. It is therefore a good idea to join our campaign "Let's burn all bras". Immediately.
Breasts of any size can produce milk. The higher amount of fatty tissue in the breast does not help in the production of extra milk, but we do not mind.
According to research by the University of Berkeley and the Berkeley National Laboratory, cuddling and squeezing the breast can prevent breast cancer. (girls, we do not do that because of us but because of you)
Humans are the only mammals with continuously enhanced breasts. In other primates, only females who have cubs have full breasts.
In most cases, the left breast is one that is higher, although there are some exceptions.
In America, every twentieth girl has artificial breasts.
University of Westminster proved that men who demonstrate sexist behavior, more attracted to women with big breasts.
When hungry, men prefer girls with big breasts, and when fed with smaller.
Depending on the amount of resources and money, men change the preference and the size of the breasts. Richer and confident prefer smaller breasts.
Men who want to become fathers generally want girls with big breasts.
Dominant males who want submissive girls, as a rule, seek those with smaller breasts.
Circulated the rumor to watch in the breast can extend the life of men. Apparently only 10 minutes of looking at women's breasts prolongs life for 5 years. Despite the fact that we are daily exposed, and longer then 10 minutes, unfortunately we have to inform you that this study is concoction.(but it does not mean that we can not continue to use that to get girls to show us boobs)

Prepare to be dazzled by the Honor 10 Lite in beautiful Sapphire Blue.
With its stunning design, excellent cameras and big screen, this is a phone designed to improve your every day.
The slim body and beautifully curvy edging look stunning, with the shimmering colour on the back really standing out from the crowd. It's feels good in your hand at just 8 mm thin – but still squeezes in a 6.21 inch full HD+ display (1080 x 2340) that brings all your entertainment to life in vivid colours and sharp contrast. Perfect for surfing the web, games, YouTube and Netflix!
There's no hanging about either with a powerful Kirin 710 octa-core processor and Android 9.0 Pie operating system – a combination that ensures you can perform more tasks easily and quickly.
We love the dual-lens camera at the back, with 13 megapixel and 2 megapixel sensors, along with a wide F/1.8 aperture lens that increases the lighting exposure by 50 percent. You can take night shots with under 6-second exposure with the anti-shake feature in Super Night Shoot mode. You can also play around with lots of different effects and shoot 1080p video at up to 60 fps.
There's also an impressive 24 megapixel front camera with a 4-in-1 light fusion that offers a superior selfie experience in both day and night lighting. The new AI beauty algorithm can customise beauty effects based on your age, gender and skin tone, allowing for a stunning yet natural look.
The 64Gb of internal storage can be expanded by up to 512Gb using a microSD card to let you carry plenty of photos, MP3s and video with you. A built-in fingerprint sensor provides enhanced security. The 3,400mAh battery lasts well over a day on a single charge with standard use.
Thanks to integrated graphics processing acceleration, the Honor 10 Lite offers users a stable gaming experience with a high frame rate.

More About The World
Welcome to Earth! It's a planet having an iron core, with two-thirds of its surface covered by water. Earth orbits a local star called the Sun, the light of which generates the food supply for all the millions of species of life on earth. The dominant species on Earth is the human being, and you're one of the six billion of them! Humans have iron in their blood, and their bodies are composed of two-thirds water, just like the planet they live on. The physical composition of the Earth, its people and everything on it contains an electro-magnetic field which is not yet fully understood. Theories and legends about the origin of Earth, people and life itself abound, however they are not commonly discussed. The bulk of earth's people spend their time immersed in daily activities, leaving the big questions for later. "Who are we? Where did we come from? Where are we going? How will we get there?" Many religions and philosophies have attempted to answer these questions over the years, but so far none has given an answer that everyone on the planet can accept. In contrast to all the disagreement, the similarities among people on earth are far, far greater than any differences. Welcome again to Earth! Enjoy your stay, and try to stay calm.
