Hard Putin's man – "Wagner" boss Prigozhin is gaining weight
Keith Wise December 31, 2022 5 min read
Russian businessman Yevgeny Prigozhin was known as "Putin's chef".
But in the meantime, he is feared internationally as a shadowy poor "Wagner" warlord on behalf of the Kremlin.
Now he is said to be aspiring for the presidency.
More news on the war in Ukraine
Before the start of the new war year Ukraine Russian Yevgeny Prigoshin appears more and more confident as the fearsome mercenary leader "Wagner." Sometimes the 61-year-old shows himself in a war zone, and sometimes he criticizes the Russian military leadership. And Kremlin boss Vladimir Putin Let this shadow army, a paramilitary organization with many criminals, do its thing as it has held the scepter of power for a long time. In the past, Putin even said that the Russian government had nothing to do with the "Wagner" group.
Putin and Prigogine have known each other for a long time. When Putin, a former KGB officer, worked in the St. Petersburg city administration, he reportedly stopped at Prigozhin's restaurant. That's why the chaotic 1990s rubs off Russia The wealthy businessman, who was jailed for robbery, was nicknamed "Putin's chef".
The head of the Concorde empire is not known for his cyber troll factory, which specializes in disinformation that allegedly interfered in the US presidential election. That's why American investigators from the FBI put a bounty on his head for his capture.
Prigozhin's army functions as its own power structure
For a long time, Prigozhin avoided the public eye — especially when his mercenary group operated in the Donbass in 2014 after the fall of Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych. But the longer the invasion of Ukraine, which Putin launched on February 24, continues, the more offensive Vaughn is. Kiev Pursued by the warrior as a war criminal. Prigozhin, who often traveled by helicopter, flew in and out of Russia's prison camps to lure convicts into war – with the promise that their sentences would be commuted after their service was completed. Prigozhin was able to act on his own authority and without legal basis. The Kremlin watched.

Russia's judiciary has long feared the influence of Putin's untouchable confidant. Prigozhin's army has long functioned as its own power structure in Russia. "I can say that today the private military company "Wagner" plays one of the most important roles in the field of military special operations," the businessman told Telegram. There he also emphasizes standing up for his criticism of Russian chief of staff Valery Gerasimov. He founded "Wagner" and controls the mercenaries so that Russia can win the war.
Putin's man talks hard about war almost every day. For example, John Kirby, the White House communications director in Washington, disputes that Russia is receiving weapons of war from North Korea. Instead, "Wagner" is now buying large quantities of American weapons himself, he said, regardless of Washington's sanctions. When Prigogine makes fun of the West in his posts, it's not always clear when he's serious. In any case, Kirby recently estimated that 50,000 "Wagner" mercenaries are in Ukraine, including 40,000 prisoners.
"Corrupt Not National Leader"
By common definition, mercenaries usually fight only for a limited period of time for those who pay them – and that too outside the regular forces. According to international law of war, they are not considered combatants and therefore do not qualify for prisoner of war protection status, for example – unlike foreign volunteers who serve as regular soldiers in the Ukrainian army, for example.
The OCCRP International Research Network on Organized Crime and Corruption, founded by journalists' organizations, voted the roughly cropped, bald man "Person of the Year."

For the first time since rulers such as Alexander Lukashenko in Belarus or Nicolás Maduro in Venezuela, who received an illegitimate title last year, jurors have now chosen someone who does not hold a state or official position.
"He is not a national leader, but a corrupt individual capable of inciting terrorism and massive human rights abuses in various parts of the world," said Judge Lewis Shelley, a US researcher on financial flows at George Mason University. According to the OCCRP report, Prigozhin represents the dark side of Russia.
Is Prigogine aiming for the presidency?
With the war in Ukraine, he is fighting one of his toughest battles since his missions in Syria. "He's a soldier of corruption," said investigative journalist and OCCRP co-founder Drew Sullivan. "He fights and murders to establish corruption. 'Wagner' is nothing more than an organized crime group sanctioned by the Russian government." Apart from Syria, there is a long trail of blood in the Central African Republic, Sudan, Somalia and Mali.
According to reports from late December, Wagner's people are suspected of killing, raping and torturing people – including in the suburbs of Kyiv – during the war in Ukraine.
In Africa, experts associate Prigozhin with gold and diamond mines. Given Putin's military exhaustion from the war in Ukraine, they believe Prigozhin will continue to play a key role on the battlefield there.
The US Institute for War Studies (ISW) has repeatedly dealt with Prigogine and his possible ambitions for the position. The think tank recently interpreted Prigozhin's interview with Russian state television RT as an attempt to gain respect and influence in society through derogatory words and populist views. For example, he suggested taking everything from Russia's billionaires so that they would go to war.

Signs of Putin's Loss of Control
With hundreds of thousands of Russians fleeing Putin's mobilization, including many pro-Western and liberal-minded and dissidents, they should all have been sent to war together in a punitive battalion, he said. "No doubt they all died heroes."
Experts say Prigozhin's growing influence is not a sign of Putin's loss of control as commander-in-chief of the Russian armed forces, responsible for a large number of defeats in the war in Ukraine. But will Prigogine be a new strongman in Moscow, as some now think, a potential successor to Putin?
Political scientist Abbas Kaliamov believes that the "president's chef" is very popular, while everyone in Moscow – including Putin – has lost recognition. "Now the regime seems to be largely thanks to Prigozhin," says Kaliamov.
Because of his active media work, Prigozhin might be thought to be able to take Putin's place. In one year, the presidential election will be held in Russia. But Kalzhamov had no chance. Fear of the all-powerful Prigozhin binds Russia's elite together. Kaliamov believes they know how to stop President Prigozhin.

This page contains a few selected essays (particularly What It's Like To Know Arabic), and a few videos (episodes of History in the Making).
The Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region is a tremendously diverse part of the world. While it contains numerous historic divisions there is also much that brings the peoples of the region together such as their languages and religions. In recent years the populations have embraced modernity in technology and custom, and this experience has sometimes worked well, for example in the Gulf countries, but hasn't succeeded or has failed spectacularly in other countries like Syria and Libya.
Over 30 years I've witnessed and studied these huge convulsions at first hand in Arabic while living and working on the ground in many areas of the Middle East and North Africa. Much of what I've written in terms of reports is confidential and will never see the light of day. However you can watch and read some items that I've created over the years to try to explain facets of the region to outsiders.
My favourite series of programmes about Iraq's history is undoubtedly 'Making History'. They originally went out on various Iraqi and other satellite TV channels in 2009-2010. I don't know who made the series but, from my knowledge of Middle Eastern history, I couldn't have written these episodes better if I'd written them myself. They are entertaining and informative, with interesting guests and fascinating locations around this ancient country. I think what I like particularly about the episodes I include below is the lack of any 'orientalist' approach to the subjects: it's studious, but also pragmatic and pacy. Whoever made them really knew what they were doing!
As I know most people visiting this site won't be familiar with spoken or written Arabic, I've taken the opportunity to add subtitles in English. I hope you enjoy these episodes as much as I have enjoyed them.

Statistics, environmental management, policy and regulation: developing the evidence base
Department Name: Statistics
Describing changes in the natural environment is essential, but in addition the challenge facing regulators and policy makers lies in understanding the links between policy, EU directives and regulation and the actual environmental effects . In 2001, the European Environment Agency reported on 'how much or how little we know about the links between environmental policy measures and their actual impact in the environment' and observed that 'much of the information gathered is of limited use in assessing the impact of environmental measures' (Nigel Haigh, foreword of Environmental Issues, Report 25/EC). Quantifying change, whether as a result of policy and regulation or through climate related change is 'complex and requires multi-disciplinary efforts, including assessment of changes in environmental quality that have been observed'. Some of the most high-profile environmental science issues of today are framed around the analysis of long (and short) observational records, measured over a network of locations and recognising patterns requires statistical modelling, to account for variation in the natural system, incomplete observations and uncertainty. Additionally, policy makers and regulators are being asked to consider planning and regulation under the scenario of climate change (eg frequency of flood events, effect on water quality) thus risk assessment becomes a key driver of regulation, with resources directed according to the risks involved and the scale of outcomes to be achieved. Environment agencies and other NGO's regularly publish 'State of the environment reports' which by their nature allow investigation of change in the environment over time. Scientific and public debates on these issues need to be informed by presentation of existing data along with suitable interpretations drawn from statistical modelling explicitly accounting for variation and uncertainty. Many factors, including climate change, interact to produce a complex environmental signal making the effect of the policy and the magnitude of trend difficult to disentangle. The proposal brings together environmental regulators, managers, civil servants and scientists to develop the skills necessary to ensure that our environment receives the best possible management for future generations.

TEPCO says they did the nuclide analysis of the water sample that the robot collected. The temperature and the levels of contamination indicate it is the water that comes out of the Pressure Vessel/Containment Vessel.
TEPCO's way of saying it is that "the water is not the one that goes into the reactor."
However, the levels of contamination of this water is one to two orders of magnitude smaller than the highly contaminated water in the reactor building basements, which seems to me to indicate that this leaking water is diverted out of the Pressure Vessel it comes in full contact with the corium (wherever it is - part at the bottom of the PV, part buried into the concrete floor of the Containment Vessel).
The leaked water is higher in density of radioactive materials than the water being injected into the reactors. The temperature of the water is also higher. Therefore we believe this is not the leak of water that is being injected into the reactor. We will continue to investigate the cause of the leak.
TEPCO's alert has a link to the latest nuclide analysis of water samples taken at different stages of contaminated water treatment (published on 1/17/2014).
While the Japanese media continues to not see much significance of this leak, the workers who have been tweeting from Fukushima I NPP from the beginning of the accident seem to worry. The issue here is NOT whether this water is currently leaking into the surrounding environment. The issue is whether the MSIV and/or its ancillary systems failed in the March 2011 accident.
MSIV (Main Steam Isolation Valve) is a huge valve attached to the main steam pipe that connects the reactor building and the turbine building. When this valve closes, it means there is some extraordinary incident happening in the reactor core. Conversely, one might say that it would be a problem if this valve did not close in such an incident. Now, the water is leaking from there [from the MSIV]. In other words, the valve was not shut, or it broke.
The reactor core is scrummed, but the MSIV doesn't close or it breaks and [the coolant=water] leaks. Do you know how terrifying this is? Instead of talking about restarting [the nuclear power plants in Japan], we would need to stop all reactors in the world to deal with the problem, just like [when we stopped] PWRs after the Three Mile Island accident. Wait, what is more terrifying is, how many people are aware that this could be a serious problem?
If this incident is what it is [the MSIV didn't close or broke in a severe emergency that necessitated the scrum], it should be shared with all nuclear plant operators and nuclear manufacturers in the entire world.
In the MSIV Room, other than the Main Steam Isolation Valve there are other systems and many small pipes, many of which connects directly to the reactor. We need to closely investigate inside the room to find out the cause [of the leak], but I'm afraid it will be a rather difficult task. The radiation level is high for workers to work inside, and it would be difficult for robots to navigate because of numerous pieces of equipment and pipes in a narrow space.
"Sunny" says he sure hopes it is a minor pipe that broke.
So was it a LOCA (Loss of Coolant Accident) because of either the failure of the MSIV or the ancillary system that is not supposed to fail, in addition to the water boiling off by the decay heat?
But as Happy says, the radiation levels are particularly high near the area of the leak (amounting to Sieverts/hour), and how TEPCO is going to "further investigate", as reported by happy-go-lucky media like NHK, is unknown.

Don't Get Rid Of Your TV Before Reading This!
By TV Answer Man	in Television	on November 7, 2019
Q. I have a bunch of cool gadgets on my TV. Roku. Blu-ray player. And I have a Smart TV. But I've noticed that the television keeps stopping in mid-picutre, or it will sometimes flash the picture and then go to a black screen, and then it will go back to the picture again! I've just about had it and I think I will bring the TV to the dump and get a new one. It's a 32-inch set and it wasn't that expensive. But before I get rid of, do you have any tips on how to fix this problem? — Rod, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.
Rod, I get this type of question a lot from readers, friends and loved ones.
"The TV isn't working. The picture is frozen. What should I do? Should I get a new TV?"
Sometimes, the answer is yes. The television is old and long past its peak performance.
But often, the answer is no because you can do one simple thing that will solve your set's ills.
And what is that?
Re-setting.
Click to see today's best-selling TV at Amazon.com!
Like personal computers, which often require re-setting, too, today's Smart TV devices include more sophisticated parts and internal workings than older DVD players. This enables them to perform more elaborate tasks such as streaming video over the Internet or allowing users to chat with other viewers online.
But the more complicated machinery also creates a greater likelihood that it will overheat, stall or simply stop working. This is why your Blu-ray player, streaming device, or satellite/cable box may suddenly freeze in the middle of a movie or even when you are just logging on to a streaming service. The more technically complex player is performing multiple tasks and sometimes they will essentially interfere with each other, causing the device to stop playing.
Editor's Note: Our site is part of the Amazon associate program. We receive a small fee from products purchased via this link and other Amazon links here. So we would greatly appreciate it if you would purchase something from Amazon today using this link or one of the Amazon links above or below. This will help us to continue to provide these articles. Thank you.
That's why re-setting can fix the problem. By re-setting, you are allowing the player to stop all tasks and start clean, so to speak.
And sometimes, re-setting will stop a task that you didn't even know was operating in the background, such as a system update. By stopping the unnecessary procedure, it enables the device's primary functions to work more smoothly.
It may sound a bit complicated, but as many have said before, re-setting is your friend.
Now, how should you re-set? Most technicians will tell you to unplug your device for 15-20 seconds before re-plugging and that does seem to do the job. But some companies may first ask you to push the re-set button found on the face of the receiver. If you are uncertain how to re-set your device, consult your manual or call your device's customer service department.
Re-setting doesn't always work, but it should be your first attempt at solving the problem. If it works, it beats bringing the device into the shop for repairs, or throwing it away, doesn't it?

Q: Testing game on XBox360? Im about to convert a game I made from one language to XNA. Do I have to pay Microsoft to be able to test it on my Xbox360? Im not looking to upload it to the market.

A: Yes, a paid membership is required to debug / test an XNA game on the Xbox 360 console.

A: You need a paid subscription to deploy the game to your xbox.
Unless you're a student, in which case you can sign up for a student account, which is a free one year subscription (I believe you can't publish it on market place though).
The game should work both on PC and on XBox, but the hardware will be different and some XBOX Live features (such as avatar) will not show up on the PC debug.

Our team of experts will look far and wide to find you the perfect Pointer.
The Pointers are powerful, graceful and aristocratic dogs. The pointer carries its head proudly. It has an alert expression and a well-muscled, athletic body. This breed is bred primarily for sport and is a true wide-range hunter.
The Pointer is named for the motionless stance the dog assumes once it has found game; the direction of the point tells the hunter where the game is hiding. It gives the impression of compact power and agile grace. It is loyal, devoted and makes a true friend. Its energy and devotion makes it a superior as a gundog.
Lemon and white, orange and white, liver and white, black and white; self (pure) colors, and tricolors.
Short, dense and smooth. It is very easy to groom. Brush regularly with a firm bristle brush. Bathe only when necessary. A rub with a piece of toweling or chamois will leave the coat gleaming. This breed is an average shedder.
Prone to hip dysplasia, thyroid, dwarfism, and skin conditions.
The Pointer is affectionate, intelligent and clean; it is wise and adaptable to every situation. It is an energetic and enthusiastic hunter, yet calm at home. It makes a good companion to children; it is patient, tolerant, kind, playful and loving.
Socialization at an early age is a must; obedience training is strongly recommended. It tends to be a bit willful, distractible and reserved with strangers; it will bark at suspicious noises. Hunting instincts develop early; puppies even at eight weeks old often display pointing behavior. This dog is independent; it is generally good with other pets and is not usually dog aggressive.
This breed has excellent endurance in warm weather, but is not suited to very cold conditions; working best on land it is not very comfortable in water. The Pointer has legendary tracking and pointing skills, but is not usually expected to retrieve game. A competitive dog, the Pointer still dominates Pointing Field Trials over all other pointing breeds.
Today, the Pointer is a family hunting dog and companion. This dog is tireless an energetic, it needs plenty of vigorous exercise. If under exercised, the Pointer can become restless and destructive.
The Pointer is not recommended for apartment life. It is moderately active indoors and does best with an average-sized yard.

\section{Introduction}

    Recently much attention has been paid to itinerant ferromagnetic (FM) compounds because of the observations of unconventional superconductivity (SC) as well as  characteristic magnetic properties related to FM quantum criticality under application of pressure ($p$) and magnetic field ($H$)\cite{Canfield2016,Brando2016,K5,K6,K7,Aoki2001,Huy2007}.
    Interestingly, in itinerant FM compounds, the FM quantum critical point (QCP) under $p$ is always avoided, which  has been of great interest in experimental and theoretical studies.
    Usually, when the second order paramagnetic (PM)-FM phase transition temperature ($T_{\rm c}$) is suppressed by the application of $p$, the order of the phase transition changes to the first order at the trictrtical point (TCP)  before $T_{\rm c}$  reaches 0 K at the quantum phase transition (QPT).
   This is known as the avoided QCP \cite{Taufour2010,Kotegawa2011,Kabeya2012}.
   Here  the QCP is a second order quantum phase transition at $T$ = 0 K. \cite{Sachdev2011}
 When the PM-FM transition becomes of the first order at the TCP in the $p$-$T$ plane,
the application of magnetic field ($H$) leads to a tricritical wing (TCW) structure in the $T$-$p$-$H$ three dimensional phase diagram  [see, Fig. \ref{fig:Fig0}(a)] as found in UGe$_{\rm 2}$ \cite{Taufour2010,Kotegawa2011} and ZrZn$_{\rm 2}$\cite{Kabeya2012}.
   A  PM-FM QCP  can also be avoided by the appearance  of an antiferromagnetic (AFM) ordered state under $p$ near the putative QCP, as actually observed in  CeRuPO\cite{Kotegawa2013,Lengyel2015} and MnP\cite{Cheng2015,Matsuda2016}.
    In this case, no wing structure has been reported and the AFM state is suppressed by the application of moderate $H$, as schematically shown in Fig. \ref{fig:Fig0}(b).

\begin{figure}[tb]
\includegraphics[width=\columnwidth]{Fig0}
\caption{Generic temperature-pressure-magnetic field ($T$-$p$-$H$) phase diagrams for clean itinerant ferromagnets. (a) Schematic  $T$-$p$-$H$ phase diagram with a tricritical wing (TCW) structure. The second order phase transition (solid line) becomes first order (dashed line) at a tricritical point (TCP). Under magnetic field, the TCW structure shown in red emerge from the TCP.  (b) Schematic  $T$-$p$-$H$ phase diagram with an antiferromagnetic (AFM) phase in blue. The AFM phase  emerges from the Lifshitz point (LP) that is suppressed under $H$.}
\label{fig:Fig0}
\end{figure}

   Such interesting phase diagrams have been theoretically well studied, and PM-FM QCP in clean itinerant FM systems is suggested to be always avoided following the above two scenarios.
     It has also been suggested that the coupling of quantum fluctuations of particle-hole excitations with the order parameter in metallic systems can generically render the prior second order phase transitions first order \cite{Belitz1999,Chubukov2004,Kirkpatrick2012,Kruger2014,Sang2014} or drive the system towards incommensurate ordering states \cite{Chubukov2004,Kirkpatrick2012}.
   In addition, magnetic fluctuations may also play an important role to avoid FM QCP as some systems exhibit phases such as incommensurate magnetic ordered states \cite{Kotegawa2013,Lengyel2015,Cheng2015,Matsuda2016} and unconventional superconductivity \cite{K5,K6,K7,Aoki2001,Huy2007}.
    Therefore,  the experimental characterization of the nature of quantum fluctuations, including magnetic fluctuations, in these classes of materials is important to illuminate the underlying mechanism that connects magnetism, quantum critically and superconductivity.

    Recently, the itinerant ferromagnet LaCrGe$_3$ has been discovered to be a new class of itinerant ferromagnets exhibiting the remarkable $T$-$p$-$H$ phase diagram where both the TCW structure  and AFM phase are observed \cite{Taufour2016,Kalu2017,Taufour2018}.
    LaCrGe$_3$ crystallizes in the hexagonal BaNiO$_3$-type structure [space group $P6_3/mmc (194)$]  \cite{Bie2007}.
   At ambient $p$, LaCrGe$_3$ is FM below the Curie temperature $T_{\rm c}$ = 85~K  with an ordered magnetic moment at low temperatures of 1.25 $\mu_{\rm B}$/Cr aligned along the $c$ axis \cite{Taufour2016}.
   This  small value of the magnetic moment compared with the effective moment above $T_{\rm c}$ ($\mu_{\rm eff}=$  2.4 $\mu_{\rm B}$/Cr) \cite{Lin2013} in the PM state suggests some degree of delocalization of the Cr 3$d$ spins.
   $T_{\rm c}$ can be suppressed with $p$ leading to a weakly modulated AFM state around 1.5 GPa and $T$ close to 50~K \cite{Taufour2016}.
   Furthermore,  it was also reported to exhibit a TCP where the second order FM transition becomes of the first order at $T$ of around 40~K and $p$ close to 1.8 GPa \cite{Kalu2017} yielding a  TCW  structure under $H$.

    Motivated by the novel magnetic properties in LaCrGe$_3$, we carried out nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR)  measurement which is a powerful technique to investigate the magnetic and electronic properties of materials from a microscopic point of view.
    It is known that the temperature dependence of the nuclear spin-lattice relaxation rate (1/$T_1$) reflects the wave vector $q$-summed dynamical susceptibility.
   On the other hand, NMR spectrum measurements, in particular the Knight shift $K$, give us information on local static magnetic susceptibility $\chi$.
   Thus from the temperature dependence of 1/$T_1T$ and $K$, one can obtain valuable insights into spin fluctuations in materials.
      In this paper, we report the results of $^{139}$La NMR measurements performed to investigate the spin fluctuations in LaCrGe$_3$.
     Our analysis, based on the self-consistent renomalization (SCR) theory, reveals that FM spin fluctuations due to Cr 3$d$ spins are of 3D nature.
    In addition, LaCrGe$_3$ is well characterized by a relatively high degree of localization of 3$d$ spins although the system is itinerant.
    Furthermore, the spin fluctuations are also revealed to have a more localized nature in real space  compared to other similar itinerant FM materials.

 \section{Experimental Details}

    Needle-like shaped single crystals of LaCrGe$_3$  were grown out of high temperature solutions, the details of which are reported in Ref. \cite{Lin2013}.
    Plural single crystals used for NMR measurements were placed in parallel on a glass plate (5$\times$5$\times$0.2 mm$^3$) to align their directions.
   The crystalline $c$ axis and the $ab$ plane are parallel and perpendicular to the needle direction of the crystal, respectively.
   An  NMR coil was tightly wound around the crystals including the glass plate to reduce a loss of the filling factor that is estimated to be about 0.6.
    NMR  measurements of $^{139}$La ($I$ = $\frac{7}{2}$, $\frac{\gamma_{\rm N}}{2\pi}$ = 6.0146 MHz/T, $Q=$ 0.21 barns) nuclei were conducted using a lab-built phase-coherent spin-echo pulse spectrometer.
        The $^{139}$La NMR spectra were obtained by sweeping $H$ at fixed frequencies  or by sweeping frequency under constant $H$.
      $H$ was applied parallel to either the crystalline $c$ axis or the $ab$ plane.
    The zero-shift position corresponding to the Larmor field for each resonance frequency was determined by $^{31}$P NMR in H$_3$PO$_4$  solution or $^{63}$Cu NMR in Cu metal.

   The $^{139}$La nuclear spin-lattice relaxation rate (1/$T_{\rm 1}$) was measured with a saturation recovery method.
   $1/T_1$ at each temperature ($T$) was determined by fitting the nuclear magnetization $M$ versus time $t$  using the exponential function $1-M(t)/M(\infty) = 0.012e^{-t/T_1}+0.068e^{-6t/T_1}+0.206e^{-15t/T_1}+0.714e^{-28t/T_1}$,  where $M(t)$ and $M(\infty)$ are the nuclear magnetization at time $t$ after the saturation and the equilibrium nuclear magnetization at $t$ $\rightarrow$ $\infty$, respectively, for the case of magnetic relaxation \cite{Recovery}.
    The observed recovery data in the paramagnetic state were well fitted by the function, indicating that the nuclear relaxation is mainly induced by fluctuations of the hyperfine field at the $^{139}$La site.
    For the analysis of NMR data, we measured the magnetic susceptibility $\chi(T)$ of the single crystal at $H$ = 7 T applied parallel to the $c$ axis and to the $ab$ plane in a commercial Quantum Design superconducting quantum interference device magnetometer.

      Figure\ \ref{fig:Fig1}(a) shows the field-swept $^{139}$La-NMR spectra of LaCrGe$_3$ at $T$ = 230 K for $H$ parallel to
the $c$ axis ($H||c$) and to the $ab$ plane ($H||ab$).
      The typical NMR spectrum for a nucleus with spin $I=7/2$ with Zeeman and quadrupolar interactions can be described by a nuclear spin Hamiltonian ${\cal{H}}=-\gamma\hbar\mathbf{I}\cdot\mathbf{H}_{\text{eff}}+\tfrac{h\nu_Q}{6}[3I_z^2-I^2+ \frac{1}{2}\eta(I_+^2 +I_-^2)]$,
where $\mathbf{H}_{\text{eff}}$ is the effective field at the nuclear site, $h$ is Planck's constant, and $\eta$ is the asymmetry parameter of  electric field gradient (EFG) at the nuclear site.
   The nuclear  quadrupole frequency for $I=7/2$ nuclei is given by $\nu_{\rm Q} = e^2QV_{\rm ZZ}/14h$, where $Q$ is the nuclear quadrupole moment and $V_{\rm ZZ}$ is the EFG at the La site.
    When the Zeeman interaction is much greater than the Quadrupole interaction, this Hamiltonian produces a spectrum with a central transition line flanked by three satellite peaks on either side.
   The observed spectra are well reproduced by simulated spectra (red lines) from the simple Hamiltonian with $\nu_{\rm Q}$ = 0.66~MHz and $\eta$ $\sim$ 0.
    The tiny extra peaks around 6.80 T and 7.66 T for $H||c$ in Fig. 1(a) could be due to mis-orientation of some of the crystals while being attached on the glass plate and also may be due to slightly different qualities of the crystals.
    The values of $\nu_{\rm Q}$ and $\eta$ estimated from the main seven peaks are found to be independent of temperature in the PM state above $T_{\rm C}$ = 85 K.
      From the spectrum analysis where  $\theta$s are found to be 0 and $\pi/$2 for $H \parallel c$ and $H \parallel ab$, respectively,  it is clear that the principal axis of the EFG at the La site is along the $c$ axis.
    Since the La site in LaGeCr$_3$ does not have a local axial symmetry ($\bar6$$m$2), one may expect finite value of $\eta$.
    However, $\eta$ is found to be very close to zero within our experimental uncertainty.

      As shown in Fig.~\ref{fig:Fig1}(b), with decreasing temperatures, each line becomes broader due to inhomogeneous magnetic broadening and the spectra show less clear features of the quadrupolar split lines below $\sim$ 155 K.
     At the same time, nuclear spin-spin relaxation time $T_2$ becomes short at a wide range of temperatures close to $T_{\rm C}$.
     Those make NMR spectrum measurements difficult below $\sim$ 110 K.
     However,  when the temperature is decreased down to 1.65 K, well below $T_{\rm C}$ = 85 K, we were able to observe the $^{139}$La NMR spectrum in the FM state as shown at the bottom of Fig.~\ref{fig:Fig1}(b), where the spectrum largely shifted to higher magnetic field by $\sim$ 4 T.
     The shift is due to the internal magnetic induction ($B_{\rm int}$) at the La site produced by the Cr spontaneous magnetic moments in the FM state.
     The $\nu_{\rm Q}$ $\sim$ 0.49 MHz estimated from the spectra under two different magnetic field directions ($H||c$ and $H||ab$) shown in Fig.~\ref{fig:Fig1}(c) is slightly smaller than 0.66 MHz observed in the PM state.
      From the spectrum, the $B_{\rm int}$ is estimated to be $-$4 T and $-$4.2 T for $H||c$ and $H||ab$, respectively.
      Here we took the zero-shift position ($K$ = 0) as the origin of $B_{\rm int}$.
     Unfortunately, the spectrum is measurable only around 1.6 K since its intensity decreases rapidly by raising the temperature.

\label{fig:Fig2}
\end{figure}

     In order to check whether the $B_{\rm int}$ is induced by the spontaneous Cr magnetic moments in the FM state and not due to NMR shift produced by the application of magnetic field, we determined the external magnetic field dependence of $B_{\rm int}$ by  measuring the spectra with different frequencies as shown in  Fig.~\ref{fig:Fig2}.
     Although the signal intensity decreases with decreasing resonance frequency, we observed the spectrum down to $f$ = 18.81 MHz and found that $B_{\rm int}$ $\sim$ $-$4 T and $-$4.2 T for $H||c$ and $H||ab$ are nearly  independent of resonance frequency (i.e. external magnetic field),  confirming that these $B_{\rm int}$ values can be attributed to the hyperfine field at the La sites produced by the magnetic field independent spontaneous magnetic moment of the Cr ions in LaCrGe$_3$ in the FM state.

   Figure~\ref{fig:Fig3} shows  the $T$ dependence of the $^{139}$La-NMR shift in the PM state for $H \parallel ab$ plane  ($K_{ab}$) and $H\parallel c$  axis ($K_{c}$)  determined from the simulated spectra, where both $K_{ab}$  and $K_{c}$ are nearly the same and decrease on lowering temperature.
   The NMR shift consists of temperature  dependent spin shift $K_{\rm s}(T)$ and $T$ independent orbital shift $K_{\rm 0}$: $K(T)$ =$K_{\rm s}(T)$ + $K_{\rm 0}$ where $K_{\rm s}(T)$ is proportional to the spin part of magnetic susceptibility  $\chi_{\rm s}$($T$) via hyperfine coupling constant $A$, $K_{\rm s}(T)$  = $\frac{A\chi_{\rm s}(T)}{N_{\rm A}}$.
      Here  $N_{\rm A}$ is Avogadro's number.
    The hyperfine coupling constants are estimated to be $A_{ab}$ =  $-$32 $\pm$ 1  kOe/$\mu_{\rm B}$  and  $A_{c}$ = $-$27$\pm$ 1~kOe/$\mu_{\rm B}$ for $H||ab$ and $H||c$, respectively, from the slopes in the so-called $K$-$\chi$ plots shown in  the inset of  Figure~\ref{fig:Fig3}.
    The intercepts for the fits are almost zero for both the directions.
   This indicates that  the observed Knight shifts are mainly attributed to $K_{\rm s}(T)$.
     $B_{\rm int}$ is proportional to $A_{\rm hf}$$<$$\mu$$>$ where $A_{\rm hf}$ is the  hyperfine coupling constant and $<$$\mu$$>$ is the ordered Cr magnetic moment.
      Using $B_{\rm int}$ = $-$4.0 T and $-$4.2 T for $H||c$ and $H||ab$, respectively, and $A_{ab}$ =  $-$32 kOe/$\mu_{\rm B}$  and  $A_{c}$ = $-$27 kOe/$\mu_{\rm B}$, $<$$\mu$$>$ are estimated to be 1.30 $\mu_{\rm B}$  for $H||ab$ and 1.50 $\mu_{\rm B}$ for $H||c$ which are slightly higher but in good agreement with 1.22 $\mu_{\rm B}$ (along the $c$ axis) reported by the neutron diffraction measurements \cite{Cadogan2013} and 1.25 $\mu_{\rm B}$ (along the $c$ axis) from magnetization measurements \cite{Taufour2018,Lin2013}.

 \subsection{$^{139}$La spin lattice relaxation time}

      In order to investigate the magnetic fluctuations in LaCrGe$_3$, we  measured the $^{139}$La spin-lattice relaxation rate (1/$T_1$) at the peak position of the spectra for both the magnetic field directions.
     Figure~\ref{fig:T1} shows the temperature dependence of 1/$T_1T$ where 1/$T_1T$ increases with decreasing temperature from room temperature to 125~K with no anisotropy in $T_1$.

\begin{figure}[tb]
\includegraphics[width=\columnwidth]{Fig4}
\caption{Temperature dependence of $^{139}$La 1/$T_1T$ for $H||ab$ (green circles) and $H||c$ (blue squares).
    The inset shows the semi- log plots of 1/($T_1TK_{\rm s}$) and 1/($T_1TK^{3/2}_{\rm s}$)  for two different magnetic fluctuation directions (in-plane and out-of-plane directions)
 }
\label{fig:T1}
\end{figure}

    Based on the $T_1$ and the spin part of the Knight shift ($K_{\rm s}$) data,  we discuss the magnetic fluctuations in the PM state of LaCrGe$_3$.
         First we tentatively employ the modified Korringa ratio analysis.
      In Fermi liquid picture, 1/$T_1T$ and $K_{\rm s}$ are determined by the density of states at the Fermi energy $\mathcal{D}(E_{\rm F})$.
      The $T_1$ has relation with $K_{\rm s}$ that can be described as $T_1TK^2_{\rm s}$ = ($\hbar/4\pi k_{\rm B}$)($\gamma_{\rm e}/\gamma_{\rm n})^2$ $\equiv$ $S$.
       Here $\gamma_{\rm e}$ is the electronic gyromagnetic ratio.
      The Korringa ratio $\alpha$ ($\equiv$ $S/T_1TK_{\rm s}^2$) between an experimental value of $T_1TK^2_{\rm s}$ and the non-interacting electron system $S$ can reveal information about electron correlations in materials \cite{Moriya1963,Narath1968}.
  $\alpha\sim1$ represents the situation of uncorrelated electrons.
     However, enhancement of  $\chi_{\rm s}$ ($\mathbf{q}\neq$ 0) increases 1/$T_1T$ but has little or no effect on $K_{\rm s}$ which probes only the uniform $\chi_{\rm s}$ ($\mathbf{q}$ = 0) where $\bf{q}$ represents  wave vector.
       Thus $\alpha$ $>$ 1 indicates antiferromagnetic (AFM)  spin correlations.
      In contrast, FM spin correlations produce $\alpha$ $<$ 1.
        Since 1/$T_1T$ probes magnetic fluctuations perpendicular to the magnetic field \cite{Moriya1963},  in general,  one should consider the Korringa ratio 1/($T_{1, \perp}TK^2_{{\rm s}, ab}$), where 1/($T_{1,\perp}T$) = 1/$(T_1T)_{H||c}$, when examining the character of magnetic fluctuations in the $ab$ plane (in-plane direction).
     One also needs to consider the Korringa ratio 1/($T_{1, ||}TK^2_{{\rm s}, c}$) for magnetic fluctuations along the $c$ axis (out-of-plane direction).
     Here, 1/($T_{1, \parallel}T$) is estimated from 2/$(T_{1}T)_{H||ab}$~$-$~$1/(T_{1}T)_{H||c}$. \cite{Wiecki2015}.
     However, since both 1/$T_1$ and $^{139}K$ are nearly isotropic,  1/($T_{1, \perp}TK^2_{{\rm s}, ab}$) and  1/($T_{1, ||}TK^2_{{\rm s}, c}$) are almost the same, clearly indicating isotropic magnetic fluctuations in LaCrGe$_3$.

     $\alpha_\parallel$ and $\alpha_\perp$ decrease from $\sim$0.07 at room temperature to less than $\sim$0.008 around 120 K, indicating dominant FM spin correlations between Cr spins in the compound.

    It should be noted that, however, the Korringa analysis usually applies for PM materials where electron-electron interaction is weak.
    Since  LaCrGe$_3$ exhibits a FM order,  we also analyze NMR data based on self-consistent renormalization (SCR) theory.
     As shown above, the magnetic fluctuations are governed by FM spin correlations.
   In this case, according to SCR theory for weak itinerant ferromagnets,  1/($T_1TK_{\rm s}$) and 1/($T_1TK^{3/2}_{\rm s}$) are expected to be independent of $T$  for three dimensional (3D) or  two-dimensional (2D) FM spin fluctuations, respectively \cite{Moriya1974,Hatatani1995}.
       The inset of Fig.~\ref{fig:T1} shows  the $T$ dependence of 1/($T_1TK_{\rm s})$ and 1/($T_1TK_{\rm s}^{3/2})$ for the two directions.
      Both the 1/($T_{1,\parallel}TK_{\rm s,c}$) and 1/($T_{1,\perp}TK_{{\rm s},ab}$)  are nearly constant, while both the 1/($T_{1,\parallel}TK_{{\rm s},c}^{3/2}$) and 1/($T_{1,\perp}TK_{{\rm s},ab}^{3/2}$) increase with increasing temperature.
      This indicates that  the FM spin fluctuations are characterized as 3D  in nature.

 \subsection{Spin fluctuations }

    The Curie Weiss behavior of 1/$T_1T$ in itinerant ferromagents is well described in the SCR theory in terms of 3D FM spin fluctuations \cite{Moriya1973,Kontani1976,Takahashi1984,Takahashi1986,Yoshimura1987}, as described above.
    According to SCR theory, there are two important parameters to characterize spin fluctuation for itinerant ferromagnets: $T_0$ and $T_{\rm A}$ corresponding to the widths of the spin fluctuations in frequency ($\omega$) space at wave vector $(q)$ = 0 and the width of the distribution of static susceptibility in $q$ space at $\omega$ = 0, respectively \cite{Takahashi2013}.
      The former can be obtained from the following equation of 1/$T_1T$  as derived by Corti \textit{et al.} \cite{Corti2007},
\begin{equation}
\frac{1}{T_1T}=\frac{3\hbar \gamma_{\rm N}^2 H_{hf}}{16 \pi \mu_{\rm B}}\frac{K}{T_0}
\label{eq:SCR_T0}
\end{equation}
Here $H_{\rm hf}$
is the hyperfine field experienced at the La site per spin \cite{Corti2007}.
   From the experimentally determined values, $T_0$ is estimated to be 89 K and 75 K for the in-plane and out-of-plane directions of spin fluctuations, respectively.
   On the other hand, $T_{\rm A}$ can be estimated using the following equation given by Takahashi \cite{Takahashi2013}:
\begin{equation}
T_A=20C_{4/3}\Big[\frac{T_c}{p_s^{3/2}T_0^{1/4}}\Big]^{4/3}
\label{eq:SCR_TA}
\end{equation}
where $T_{\rm c}$ = 85 K, $p_{\rm s}$ is the saturated moment   and C$_{4/3}$=1.006089 is a constant.
Utilizing these values, $T_{\rm A}$ is estimated to be 998 K and 793 K for the in-plane and out-of-plane directions of spin fluctuations, respectively.
   The estimated values of $T_{\rm A}$ seem to be comparable or slightly greater than those in uranium based compounds such as URhGe ($T_{\rm A}$ = 568  K) \cite{Tateiwa2017} and UGe$_2$ ($T_{\rm A}$ = 442 K) \cite{Tateiwa2017}, but are smaller than those in 3$d$ electron itinerant ferromagnets such as  ZrZn$_2$ ($T_{\rm A}$ = 7400 K) \cite{Takahashi2013}, NiAl$_3$ ($T_{\rm A}$ = 3670 K) \cite{Takahashi2013}  and MnSi ($T_{\rm A}$ = 1690  K) \cite{Corti2007}.

\begin{figure}[tb]
\includegraphics[width=\columnwidth]{Fig5}
\caption{ Generalized Rhodes-Wohlfarth plot for the in-plane (blue) and out-of-plane (green) directions for LaCrGe$_3$  along with other itinerant ferromagnets that avoid FM-PM QCP through tricritical wings under pressure.
     The values of parameters are estimated from Ref. \cite{Takahashi2013} for ZrZn$_2$ and  MnSi and Ref. \cite{Tateiwa2017} for UGe$_{\rm 2}$,  URhGe and URhAl.
     The red  line represents the generalized Rhodes-Wohlfarth relation in the 3D system: $p_{\rm eff}/p_{\rm s}$ = 1.4 ($T_{\rm C}$/$T_0$)$^{-2/3}$ \cite{Takahashi2013}.

}
\label{fig:SCR}
\end{figure}

     In order to compare  LaCrGe$_3$ with other clean itinerant ferromagnets that avoid the FM QCP with the TCW structure, we plotted their spin fluctuation parameters in Fig.~\ref{fig:SCR} along with those in  LaCrGe$_3$.
   The plot is  known as  the Generalized Rhodes-Wohlfarth plot.
     The $x$ axis of this plot is the ratio of $T_{\rm C}$ and $T_0$ and the $y$ axis the ratio of the effective paramagnetic moment ($p_{\rm eff}$) and $p_{\rm s}$.
     According to SCR theory, in the case of itinerant ferromagnets, magnetic fluctuations contribute to $p_{\rm eff}$ in PM state.
     Therefore, one can expect that the ratio of $p_{\rm eff}$/$p_{\rm s}$ becomes large, when spin fluctuations are important in these systems.
      As for $T_0$, based on SCR theory, $T_{\rm C}$/$T_0$ is close to unity in the case of localized ferromagnets, while the ratio becomes less than unity if itinerant character becomes significant.
       These situations are predicted theoretically through the generalized Rhodes-Wolfarth relation of  $p_{\rm eff}/p_{\rm s}$ = 1.4 ($T_{\rm C}/T_0$)$^{-2/3}$ (red line),  and the relation has shown great empirical agreement with materials having 3D FM fluctuations \cite{Takahashi2013}.
       As shown in the  Fig.~\ref{fig:SCR},  LaCrGe$_3$ and other typical itinerant ferromagnets seem to follow the relation.
   However, the values of LaCrGe$_3$ for both the in-plane and out-of-plane directions of magnetic fluctuations are located close to unity, indicating
a  relatively high degree of localization in Cr $3d$ electrons even though the system is itinerant.
    In addition, the results also indicate that the spin fluctuations in LaCrGe$_3$ show a more localized nature in real space than the other similar itinerant FM materials compared.

   \section{Summary}

    In summary, we carried out $^{139}$La NMR in the itinerant ferromagnet LaCrGe$_3$  to  characterize the magnetic properties from a microscopic point of view.
   The  principal axis of the electric field gradient at the La site has been shown to be along the $c$ axis with $\nu_Q$ of 0.66 MHz in the PM state and about 0.49 MHz in the FM state.
     $^{139}$La NMR spectra measurements in the FM state confirmed the FM ordered state below $T_{\rm C}$ = 85 K with a magnetic moment of $\sim$ 1.4
 $\mu_{\rm B}$/Cr, consistent with previous reports.
    Based on the Korringa ratio analysis and  the  SCR theory using the results of 1/$T_1T$ and $K$, spin fluctuations in the PM state are revealed to be isotropic FM and three dimensional in nature.
    In addition, the system is found to follow the generalized Rhodes-Wohfarth relation which is expected in 3D itinerant FM systems.
   $T_{\rm C}$/$T_0$ is found to be close to unity, indicating that there is a relatively high degree of  localization in the 3$d$ Cr electrons even though the system is itinerant.
   It would be interesting if these uniqueness in magnetic fluctuations in LaCrGe$_3$ is related to the appearance of both tricritcal wings and AFM state under pressure and magnetic fields.
    Analysis of spin fluctuations in those materials where FM QCP is avoided by the appearance of AFM phase, and further studies on LaCrGe$_3$ under pressure are important to investigate this connection, which are now in progress.

Is Goku a good husband and father?
Dragon Ball Super is about to reach the end of the road, and fans of 7 Dragon Balls around the world are excited to witness the earth-shattering battles of Goku with antagonists. All to save Universe 7 from being wiped out by Zeno's hand. All in all, there is no doubt that Goku is definitely a hero in the eyes of many people, from the creature of the entire universe to his loved ones. However, as an outsider, we can look at Goku's family and realize that he is not a good husband or father.
emergenceingames.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Goku_bad_father_1.jpg" class="lazy bbCodeImage LbImage" alt='[IMG]'/>
The evidence, perhaps, cannot be enumerated. First, Goku has never had a stable job, and only focuses on training to become stronger. It was his wife, Chi Chi, who repeatedly had to shout to Goku that "go find a job". It may be a funny episode for the audience and readers, but at the same time, it also partly tells about his family life.
Does Goku love Chi Chi? Probably not, when it was Chi Chi who forced the "baby monkey" to marry her. After that, their married life is definitely "problematic", as the two are often separated, and Chi Chi always has to worry about her husband when Goku continuously suffers from terrifying injuries. Many people say that Goku's lack of attachment to his wife is due to the nature of Saiyans. But wait, look at how Vegeta treats Bulma. In Dragon Ball Super, there's a scene where Goku invites Vegeta to "practice" with him. Vegeta refused, leaving at home to help his wife. Who dares to say that all Saiyan men are "apart from" their wives?
As a husband, Goku is no better off as a father. If you've seen it Dragon Ball Z, then you won't be able to forget the final scenes, when Goku (again) skips his family just to train kids he just met. Meanwhile, does Goku ever really take the time to play with Gohan and Goten? Even Goten himself only met Goku for the first time at the age of 7. Yes, others can't blame Goku because he sacrificed himself to save the world. But in Goten's position, such a father is completely to blame.
Goku sacrifices to protect the world, but who gives Cell a chance to recover?
One thing worth mentioning, Goku once let Gohan fight with Cell and made him "gradually" torn. This may be the lion's way of teaching (throwing the cub down a cliff so it can crawl up on its own), but it's clearly gone too far when Goku even feeds Cell with magic beans just to get him into his strongest state. Must know, if no one can defeat Cell, he will destroy the whole world.
In fact, the author himself Toriyama Akira also admitted, Goku is a pure person, but not really a good person. Goku longs to be strong, and to fight strong enemies. Yes, Goku always stands up to protect the world, but he will not do everything to fulfill that mission. Sometimes, Goku is willing to stop, wait for the opponent to recover or reach the strongest state, just to have a good match, regardless of his failure, the world will also crumble. Perhaps, just like Toriyama Akira said, Goku is still a child who has not yet realized that he is an adult, passionate about fighting and forgetting everything. Obviously, such a child will never be a good husband and father.

Velvet: The Complete Series Box Set (Season 1 to 4)
It's time to get your binge – watch on!
Velvet Season 1
The owner of Velvet Galleries presents his son Alberto, newly returned from London after years of training away from the family and away from his illicit love affair with a humble seamstress, Ana Rivera. Alberto's return and his reunion with Ana will reawaken family tensions, but this time Alberto is willing to fight for Ana as he did not fight in the past. The two lovers are ready to break with family expectations and the norms of the time.
In season two, stolen kisses, and jealous outbursts abound.

She, too, is aware that her lowly rank as a seamstress represents a hurdle that she cannot leap over.
After learning that Cristina is pregnant, Alberto and Ana have much to think about. Both had proposed fight all odds for their relationship, but this news can change everything, but surprisingly Alberto is very clear. Anna will not give up. Meanwhile, Cristina is willing to do anything to recover Alberto and with the help of Barbara plots a plan to take her to be closer to her husband. Meanwhile, Rita and Pedro enjoyed as ever. They finally have their wedding night and happiness fills them, at least until they discover next to Jonás a terrible event can lead to the ruin of the galleries.

ACQUITTED Season One & Two
Season One:
Norwegian Aksel Borgen (Nicolai Cleve Broch) has returned home to his native small town after twenty years of self-imposed exile after being acquitted of murdering his then-sweetheart, when the entire township — now facing ruin after the bankruptcy of the sole manufacturing company — turned against him. But Aksel has bought into the business along with a larger, sleazy corporation, which might now abandon the beautiful fjord-facing town, killing its tourist-laden future.
Acquitted he might have been after a year in prison when a young woman came forth with evidence that he wasn't near the site when the sweetheart was murdered, but still the remaining folk aren't happy to have him back. Aksel has left his a wife, a native Malaysian (Elaine Tan), for now, but has his teen-aged son (Mathias Romano) with him while he works to get the business on its feet. The complications start when Aksel falls in love with the female friend who vouched for him those years before, and has to deal with his addled mother (Anne Marit Jacobsen) and resentful brother (Tobias Santelmann), in addition to a town still suspicious that Aksel had indeed committed the slaying, now egged on by the dead girl's bitter mother (Lena Endre).
Season Two:
The ten episodes build well, introducing us to many of the townsfolk angry with him showing up at all. The meanness of the new owners and their cynical abuse of the townsfolk are absorbing and fruitful. And the love-making certainly keeps the cold weather away.As the dust settles from the explosive finale of the first series, Aksel has the answer he so desperately sought. Finally, his search for justice appears to be over and his reconciliation within the local community can begin. But Aksels hopes are short-lived. As Eva and William close ranks and deny the truth, a new struggle begins for Aksel. Convinced that Eva is covering for William, he asks himself a question: what secret could be so big that a mother is willing to shield the murderer of her own daughter? As the impenetrable fog of lies and deceit that has enveloped a decades-old murder begins to clear, Aksel finds himself heading toward an inevitable showdown with his nemesis, Eva. Only then he may finally know the truth, and his own fate.

In Danish with English Subtitles
A young pregnant woman is buried in the sand, slowly being submerged by the tide. 25 years later, the sadistic murder remains unsolved. Olivia Rönning at the Police Academy studies the case as a cold case exercise. Olivia becomes almost obsessed with the murder when she discovers that her father worked on the investigation. She quickly realises that she needs to find the lead investigator, detective Tom Stilton, but he has gone to ground.
Olivia is completely absorbed by the case and goes to Nordkoster to visit the murder scene. When she comes to the beach at Hasslevikarna bay, a man appears with a rolling suitcase. Stilton finds out through Situation Stockholm that Olivia is looking for him but is not interested in making contact. He has other concerns, like his homeless friends being beaten up.
Stilton finds his friend Vera severely beaten and decides to try to find the perpetrators. Olivia has received information that a former escort girl, Jackie Berglund, figured in the inquiry on the beach case and decides to examine her a little closer. She contacts a journalist who interviewed Jackie a few years ago, Eva Carlsén, for advice on how to approach her. Linn Magnuson, CEO of the mining company, receives a malicious call and realises that the call could crush both her and the company.
Olivia continues to look for information about Jackie Berglund, but goes a little too far when she visits Jackie's store "Odd & Right." Jackie has already heard that a young woman has been digging around in her past, and she quickly realises that it is Olivia. Olivia's mother tries to tell Olivia to stop digging around in the beach case. She does not want to see Olivia become as obsessed as her father. Tom Stilton slowly starts to get in shape so that he can pursue those who murdered Vera. He makes contact with his former snitch, Mink, for help in finding them.
Children find a car in the water where they are swimming. Inside the car is a dead man. Stilton's old colleague and ally, Mette Olsäter, takes the case and quickly starts a murder investigation. The dead man, Nils Wendt, has been missing since 1987. Where has he been all these years, and why has he turned up now? Olivia tries to take it easy after the attack. She is certain that Jackie Berglund is behind it. But she is more worried about her cat, Elvis, who she hasn't seen since.
Olivia contacts Ove Gardman, the man who witnessed the beach murder as a child. He tells her that he met Nils Wendt in Costa Rica. Olivia gives this information to Mette Olsäter, who decides to send Abbas – a friend to both she and Stilton. She wants to see if he can find anything that can explain Nils Wendt's murder, and if there is any connection to the murder in Nordkoster. The police manage to get Nils Wendt's mobile phone working and find that his last call was to Linn Magnusson, who now realises that she must find the original recording of the conversation that could destroy her life.
Abbas finds Nils Wendt's house in Costa Rica, as well as his friend, Bosques. Bosques tells him that the woman who was murdered on the beach in Nordkoster was Adelita Rivera and that she was in a relationship with Nils Wendt. Abbas also gets a bag of material that Wendt left behind, in case he didn't return. Mette realises that the investigation of the murder in Nordkoster and Nils Wendt's murder are now one and the same. Linn Magnusson has sent people to look for the evidence Wendt left in Costa Rica.
Stilton is visited by his ex-wife in the caravan. She wants to see how he is and tell him that she has got a match on the DNA from the hair slide – it is Jackie Berglund's. Mette immediately calls Jackie in for questioning and wants Stilton to participate. After the interrogation, Jackie sees Olivia waiting outside. This worries Stilton, because he knows that Jackie will stop at nothing to protect herself. Abbas is on his way home from Costa Rica, heading directly to a meeting with Mette, Stilton and Olivia.
Abbas manages to deliver all of the material to Mette and her group. When they listen the recorded phone call between Linn Magnusson and Nils Wendt on the cassette tape, they go straight to Linn Magnusson's house. But they get there too late. Olivia is frustrated with the beach case, and decides to take revenge on the man who killed her cat. Stilton realises that the police are not going to spend any time on the investigation related to the murder of Vera Larsson and the beating of the homeless. He must take control of it himself.
Mette gathers everyone at the police station, including Stilton and Olivia. The pieces begin to fall into place, now they have identified the person who had the earring and are just waiting for a crucial DNA analysis. They have also identified a new witness who was in Nordkoster. Mette calls in a new suspect for questioning. But how does the murder at Nordkoster fit together with the murder of Nils Wendt? And what is the motive?

The bi-monthly Water Craft is a great magazine and, after talking with folks who edit it, I've decided to publish previews of each issue. Hopefully they will remind people to nip down to their newsagents – or, better still, to buy a subscription for themselves or a loved one.
Editor Pete Greenfield reports that 'small is beautiful' has emerged as the dominant theme of Water Craft number 74, which is due out on the 26th February.
It'll include a reprint of an article by Moray MacPhail first published 14 years ago, which now seems more relevant than ever, particularly in the light of the evidence of the WBTA Boat Buying Survey also included in the issue.
Also,there's a piece from canoe builder John Floutier describing a sailing canoe cruise in company in the Western Isles. Also Kathy Mansfield impressed by the 14ft GRP Devon Yawl, and Jo Moran down in Cornwall sails the similar-sized and equally gutsy GRP Bristol Jolly Boat.
Smallest of them all in this issue, however, is Chris Perkins' latest home boatbuilding project, the 10ft Stickleback canoe designed by Iain Oughtred.
Look out also for Dick Phillips sailing Secret, a 20ft Edwardian-style 'gentleman's cruising yacht' you can build from a pre-cut plywood kit, and the beautiful 20ft Laurent Giles Sandpiper named Surprise, built by Tom Naismith in his garage.
The Grand Designs series features Nigel Irens' 15-knot electric speedboat, which made her debut at the London Boat Show and Australian designer Michael Storer introduces his Radical Raid Boat, which will make her debut on the Water Craft stand at the Beale Park Thames Boat Show.

Morning at Beale Park, with one of Adrian Morgan's
pretty skiffs in the foreground
I try to give credit where it's due and a link wherever possible, so I was mildly disappointed by Ready, Aim, Inspire's use of one of my photos without either a credit or a link. But there's a saving grace: it's accompanied by a great quotation from one of my favourite writers, essayist and author of Three Men in a Boat (to say nothing of the dog), Jerome K Jerome:
'Let your boat of life be light, packed with only what you need – a homely home and simple pleasures, one or two friends, worth the name, someone to love and someone to love you, a cat, a dog, and a pipe or two, enough to eat and enough to wear, and a little more than enough to drink; for thirst is a dangerous thing.'
If you're out there and listening, Mr or Mrs Ready, Aim, Inspire, we'd like a credit in return for our photo please! All those not equipped with a killer JKJ quote will be asked to pay, of course…

Gena is a fine electric canoe built more than 100 years ago, and restored in the late 1980s by her owner Robin Newlands. All the fittings, equipment and motor are original, except the controller, which was modernised in 1923.
Take a look at the picture links – I took them at the Beale Park Boatshow in 2005, and it's a privelege to have some good sized images to show you all. Thanks for taking her to the show Mr Newlands, wherever you are – you must be very proud.

Samantha Kenney chosen to present at global teen workshop
Pacific Daily News/USA TODAY Network
Guam's Samantha Kenney was chosen as one of 10 Asian Football Confederation Youth Social Responsibility Ambassadors to make a presentation during a virtual workshop, "Can You Hear Me? A Young Footballer's Guide to Making a Difference."
The workshop, open to all interested, is part of a larger Generation Amazing festival Dec. 2-4 online. The workshop will begin at 10 p.m. Guam time Dec. 4. To join the workshop, register online at https://hopin.com/events/generation-amazing-festival-2020?code=7megmiCZE8YLl1lytcThkMSEp
"Overall, I'm excited for this opportunity and still a little stunned that I get this chance," said Kenney, a 16-year-old student at Harvest Christian Academy. "I'll be hosting the middle part of our session — sharing specific social projects — and will be going into how my upcoming project deals with Diversity and Inclusion."
"Right now, with my fellow Guam ambassador Kiarra Hutcherson, we want to start a football development program for young kids with disabilities," Kenney said. "A lot of us Guam footballers started playing by the young ages of 4 to 8 years old, but some kids with disabilities on island aren't exactly given that same opportunity. We simply hope to change that."

Kenney said she couldn't miss the opportunity despite a busy daily schedule.
"Hopefully the workshop will inspire even more young people, being that it'll be led and taught entirely by teenagers," said Kenney. "We also aim to encourage how to make the most out of a difficult situation, being that all these new opportunities have stemmed during a global pandemic."
Kenney was one of four from Guam selected to participate in the AFC-Aurora eGoal Programme. Other graduates from Guam were Hutcherson, Kai Pahl and Alexander Stenson. The closing ceremony for the program was held Nov. 12.
During the awards portion, Kenney received the Optimist Award for the East Zone, which recognizes the participant who brought enthusiasm to each session, motivating his or her peers with creativeness, liveliness and positivity.

Morpheus (Originaltitel: Last Witness, übersetzt Der letzte Zeuge) ist der Titel eines 2005 erschienenen Romans der US-amerikanischen Autorin Jilliane Hoffman aus dem Genre Kriminalroman/Thriller. Er ist die Fortsetzung des Romans Cupido.

Handlung
Vier tote und übel zugerichtete Polizisten versetzen Miami in Angst und Schrecken. Oberstaatsanwältin C. J. Townsend ist mit ihrem Verlobten Special Agent Dominick Falconetti in eine Task-Force berufen worden. Während Dominick in Richtung Drogenmafia und Bandenkriege ermittelt, stellt C. J. eine immer offensichtlicher werdende Verbindung zwischen den Polizeimorden und ihr selbst her. Die Polizisten teilten mit Ausnahme des zweiten Opfers ein Geheimnis mit ihr. C. J. wurde nämlich vor fünfzehn Jahren von William Bantling vergewaltigt und trägt bis heute noch die psychischen und körperlichen Schäden mit sich. Um an Bantling Rache zu nehmen, arbeitete sie vor drei Jahren beim sogenannten Cupido-Fall, bei dem elf junge Frauen auf grausame Weise getötet wurden, einen Verschwörungsplan aus, anhand dessen Bantling trotz nie ganz bewiesener Schuld in den Todestrakt gesteckt wurde.
Heute versucht der Unschuldige William Bantling immer wieder, in Berufung zu gehen und so ein neues Verfahren zu erlangen. Als sein Versuch zum wiederholten Male scheitert, versucht er, mit der Polizei zu kooperieren. Dabei erwähnt er einen Snuff-Club. Dessen Vorsitzender ist der ehemalige und bereits tote Psychiater von C. J. Sein Nachfolger ist unbekannt, doch nennt er sich Cop-Killer. Die Polizei schenkt Bantling nur wenig Achtung und ist sich sicher, den Fall gelöst zu haben, als sie LBJ, den meistgesuchten Mann in Miami, massakriert in dessen Badewanne finden.
Während Dominick, vom Ergebnis des Falles nicht überzeugt, an seinem Abschlussbericht feilt, setzen sich bei ihm die Puzzleteile des Falls allmählich zusammen und er kommt zum Schluss, dass er sich mit seiner Task-Force die ganze Zeit auf dem falschen Weg befand. Der wahre Mörder befindet sich in den eigenen Reihen und ist Chris Masterson, Mitglied der Task-Force Morpheus. Während Dominick sich sein Bild ausmalt, will Chris sein Werk zu Ende bringen, indem er C. J. umbringen würde. Dabei erklärt er, dass die Vergewaltigung und die Cupido- bzw. Morpheus-Morde Teil eines kranken Spiels waren. Dessen Ziel ist es zu erfahren, wie weit C. J. die Grenzen überschreiten würde, um ihren Peiniger Bantling in den Tod zu schicken.
Noch bevor Chris sein Werk vollenden und C. J. töten kann, wird er nach einer Verzweiflungsaktion seines Opfers verletzt und anschließend erschossen.

Richard Lerner, who led Scripps Research to greatness, dies at 83
Dr. Richard Lerner, a longtime chemist, was former head of The Scripps Research Institute.
(San Diego Union-Tribune)
He paved the way for Humira, the top-selling therapeutic drug in the world
By Gary Robbins
Dec. 6, 2021 8:22 PM PT
Richard Lerner, the masterful biochemist who guided La Jolla's Scripps Research on its way to becoming an elite center for biomedical science and helped develop Humira, the highest selling therapeutic drug in the world last year, died on Dec. 2. He was 83.
The private, non-profit institute told the Union-Tribune that Lerner died of cancer at his home in La Jolla.
The news comes at an eventful moment for Scripps, where Lerner nearly tripled the size of the institute during his 24 years as president, partly through ties with the pharmaceutical industry that helped produce Humira, which fights rheumatoid arthritis, and Benlysta, a treatment for lupus.
Benjamin List, one of Lerner's former postdoctoral researchers, and Ardem Patapoutian, one of the institute's current scholars, each won Nobel Prizes this fall in different fields of study.
Patapoutian will receive the prize for physiology or medicine Wednesday in Irvine, where some laureates are being honored because COVID-19 issues have mostly shut down the traditional ceremonies in Stockholm. List, who is German, will pick up the Nobel in chemistry in his home country.
"Richard had a tremendous influence on science, the institute, and the lives and work of many of us at Scripps Research," Peter Schultz, the institute's president and chief executive, said in a statement.
"He was truly a giant and his vision, leadership and passion for science will be deeply missed."
Lerner was a self-described "lab rat" whose career spanned more than 55 years. In that time, he developed a reputation as something of a wizard for manipulating molecules and DNA for medicinal purposes.
He was born on Aug. 26, 1938, in Chicago, where he became interested in chemistry early in life, pursuing it as an undergraduate at Northwestern University and as a medical student at Stanford.
Lerner considered becoming a neurosurgeon. But he changed his mind in 1965, accepting a position as a postdoctoral scientist at Scripps Clinic and Research Foundation, which later became Scripps Research.
He briefly left for a job in Philadelphia, then returned to Scripps in 1970, where he served on the faculty for the rest of his life. He became the institute's president in 1987 and decided to make Scripps as big a power in chemistry as it was in biology.
Biologists routinely figure out how humans developed health problems. Lerner — who was very entrepreneurial — reasoned that many chemists spend their lives trying to create substances to fight afflictions. So he created a chemistry department to move things forward.
Colleagues say that Lerner had a gift for spotting and recruiting talent, pointing to the moment in 1991 that he hired chemist Barry Sharpless, who a decade later won a Nobel Prize for his insights about the nature of molecules, work that is essential for drug discovery.
Lerner's own research heavily focused on the immune system and involved making the most of antibodies and DNA to treat or detect such things as arthritis, cancer and diabetes. This fundamental research led others to create Humira — which generated revenues of $20 billion last year — and Benlysta.
"He was a visionary," Sharpless said in a statement. "He saw what chemistry could do for medicine and biology."
Lerner stepped aside as president in late 2011, having built a record and a sense of moment; six years later, the journal Nature described the institute as the most innovative center of its kind in the world.
That wasn't the end of his career. Lerner continued doing research, following a single-minded belief in original work to improve the human condition.
"There are scientists, some successful, some not, who run after the latest hot thing," Lerner told the Union-Tribune in 2016. "My attitude is, if somebody else is doing it, I cheer them on. I sure as hell don't want any part of it."
