More than 30 respected national and state organizations representing concerned citizens from across the nation joined Americans United for Life Action, AUL's sister organization, in sending a group letter to all 100 U.S. senators. The letter calls for a "thorough investigation" into Elena Kagan's role in the 1996-97 partial-birth abortion debate.
To see the open letter, AUL Action's 54-page report examining Kagan's role in manipulating the medical statements of two major organizations on partial-birth abortion, and former Surgeon General C. Everett Koop's letter urging the Senate to reject the Kagan nomination.
A new post at the AUL Blog looks at two proposed pieces of federal legislation that would help prohibit federal funding for elective abortions established in the health care reform bill that passed earlier this year.
The "Protect Life Act" – introduced by Congressman Joe Pitts (R-PA) – would ensure that no federal funds authorized under the health care reform law are used to pay for abortions or subsidize insurance plans that cover abortions, prevent any part of the federal government from forcing insurance plans to cover abortions, and codify strong conscience protections. Another bill, which is expected to be introduced soon by Congressman Chris Smith (R-NJ), is even more comprehensive because it will establish a permanent government-wide prohibition on taxpayer subsidies for abortion and abortion coverage. Learn more about these important pieces of proposed legislation at the AUL Blog.
On August 4, Kenyans will vote in a national referendum whether or not to accept a constitution that would change Kenyan law from one that protects the right to life to one that enshrines abortion-on-demand as a constitutional right. AUL has joined pro-life leaders around the world in signing a petition declaring "our solidarity with those Kenyans who are standing up for the most vulnerable among us – the unborn child and his or her mother," and urging a "no" vote on the proposed new constitution because of its pro-abortion provisions.

Students came from as far away as California last week to attend AUL Staff Counsel Mailee Smith's seminar on pro-life law at Trinity International University in Deerfield, Ill., sponsored by the Center for Bioethics and Human Dignity as a follow-up to its conference "Beyond Therapy: Exploring Enhancement and Human Futures." The seminar, which included guest lectures by AUL Senior Vice President for Legal Affairs William Saunders, covered developments in federal and state laws on abortion, biotechnologies, and end-of-life issues.

So, you have a rails app installed at, say, blog.site.com, and you want http://www.site.com and site.com to redirect to it. Here's how to do it in lighttpd.
This will forward visitors; their browsers will show blog.site.com. If you want Rails to listen on a group of virtual hosts (so that the hostname the user sees for the site is not changed), you can do a similar thing in the fastcgi.server section for that Rails instance, but leave out the rewrite rules.
Usually you would want the first, so that you can refer to a canonical hostname without confusing the user (is there one site or are there really two?). But there are some situations where you would have a number of virtually identical sites all run from the same Rails instance, and let Rails check ENV['HOST'] to make some minor customizations. A webmail provider who offers multiple hostnames would probably want this.
How does this work? Here's a character-by-character explanation.
The last line there asks to perform the comparison on the incoming url string, then assigns the result, below, to the redirect. This acts more or less as a function call, redirecting the client via a 301-moved (I think it's 301) HTTP header. Anyway the important part is that it does it through official HTTP headers and not some wacky way or via an HTML META tag.
Now we begin what is effectively a SWITCH/CASE statement. If the string matches this on the left, return that on the right.
$1                        # what is this?
Regarding the $1: notice that the "match everything" line above has parentheses around it. Another function of parens, borrowed from Perl, is to save the enclosed match to a variable. The first set goes into $1, the second into $2, etc. So what we end up doing is appending the /somewhere/on/your/site part of the requested URL to blog.site.com.
That's all. Regular expressions are powerful.
Thanks, I was looking for something like this.
Well, thanks to your help, my web server which used to serve pages from http://www.cyrilgodefroy.com now always points to cyrilgodefroy.com, which is less keys to type. Thanks.

Johnny Reb and Billy Yank
Johnny Reb & Billy Yank is an epic novel first published in 1905 by Alexander Hunter, a soldier who served in Confederate General Robert E. Lee's Army from 1861 to 1865. The novel is noted for encapsulating most of the major events of the American Civil War, due to Hunter's obvious involvement in them. The "novel" is actually pulled from Hunter's own diaries during the war. He explains his reasons for publishing his accounts in the preface to the novel- "There were thousands of soldiers on both sides during the Civil War, who, at the beginning, started to keep a diary of daily events, but those who kept a record from start to finish can be counted on the fingers of one hand...

Biography of a Prairie Girl
This book is a wonderful way to learn about how the prairies were years ago, but you will hardly feel you are learning because you will be caught up with the 'little girl', living with her as she grows up far away from any large city. Very well written, in this book you live, worry, and rejoice, along with the little girl. Whether it is through a prairie fire, raising some interesting and queer pet, having fun at some big prairie-time event, or worming her way out of trouble, the little girl continues to grow, until at the end, you leave, not a little girl, but a young lady stepping into womanhood.

If you are expecting glass slippers and pumpkin coaches, look elsewhere... This is "a pantomime as Ibsen would have written it, if only it had occurred to him to write one." Set on a "bleak and cheerless heath overlooking the fjord" we meet Ibsenesque heroine Mrs. Inquest, her step-daughter Hilda, and her daughter Hedda, who is engaged to be married to the unfortunate Tesman. Thus begins Calderon's hilarious Ibsenesque version of Cinderella. NOTE from the editor of the volume, published in 1922 after Calderon's death: This play is hardly more than a rough draft, written when the idea was fresh and put aside to be worked on when the right moment should come...

The Mysteries of London was a best-selling novel in mid-Victorian England. The first series was published in weekly instalments from 1844-46, priced at a penny each. Serialised novels sold in this way were known as Penny Dreadfuls … without any claim to literary greatness, they sought to provide ongoing entertainment for the popular audience. This book has it all -- vice, poverty, wealth, virtue, in every combination. Consider it a Victorian soap opera.Summary by Cori Samuel. Note: this project only covers half of volume 1.

The Mysteries of London was a best-selling novel in mid-Victorian England. The first series was published in weekly instalments from 1844-46, priced at a penny each. Serialised novels sold in this way were known as Penny Dreadfuls … without any claim to literary greatness, they sought to provide ongoing entertainment for the popular audience. When first published, this book was intended for an adult audience. The crime and vice involved would have had a terrible effect on the Young Mind of the Victorian Era. However, it's less likely to cause offence or concern now, though I don't recommend it for younger children.

In so doing, he encounters a beautiful blue-eyed girl-bandit who promptly throws a lasso around his heart. As the action heats up, the grandeur of magnificent western landscape does battle with the picturesqueness of Rangy's colorful cowboy argot, and the reader comes out the winner...

Shakespeare Identified
That one who is not a recognized authority or an expert in literature should attempt the solution of a problem which has so far baffled specialists must doubtless appear to many as a glaring act of over- boldness; whilst to pretend to have actually solved this most momentous of literary puzzles will seem to some like sheer hallucination. What I have to propose, however, is not an accidental discovery, but one resulting from a systematic search. And it is to the nature of the method, combined with a happy inspiration and a fortunate chance, that the results here described were reached...

From Different Standpoints
How differently people view life, society, and religion, depending on their perspective! Perry, the often sick young man that is learning to follow his Master; Eunice (Una), as close as a sister to Perry but not a Christian; Eleanor, the selfish socialite; and Tom, Eleanor's earnestly Christian brother, form the core of this story of life, love, marriage, and service.

Breast health and diagnostics drive Hologic to beat-and-raise quarter
Published Jan. 31, 2019
Hologic
Hologic delivered a beat-and-raise quarter driven by double-digit growth at its molecular diagnostics group and resurgent breast health business.
Overall sales increased by 5%, resulting in Hologic coming in ahead of analyst revenue and earnings forecasts.
Hologic achieved the growth despite the continued underperformance of its Cynosure medical aesthetics unit, which suffered a double-digit decline in sales.
Hologic has shifted its focus over the past year. With ts $1.6 billion acquisition of Cynosure leading to a $732 million write down, Hologic has looked to other, older parts of its business for growth. The shift has paid off. Breast health, a traditionally streaky business, has emerged as a consistent growth driver while molecular diagnostics has continued to contribute.
Those dynamics, which characterized the back half of 2018, have continued into the new year. Sales at the breast health unit were up 12.7% on the back of growth at the imaging subunit. Some of the growth came from the acquisitions of Faxitron and Focal Therapeutics. Organic growth was 9%. In the U.S., which accounts for three-quarters of the unit, sales growth accelerated for the sixth quarter on the run.
Hologic cited new products as a factor behind the performance. Products such as the 3Dimensions mammography system drove 15% growth in breast imaging systems. Hologic sold the systems to facilities that are converting from 2D mammography, and early adopters of 3D systems that now want to upgrade to the latest technology. The upgrade cycle could be an important growth driver.
"Based on our 3D market model, nearly 1.4k 3D systems were placed in the 2011-2014 window with at least half sufficiently aged and eligible for upgrade, suggesting this driver alone can sustain Breast Health growth in the mid-to-high single digits for the remainder of F[Y]2019," analysts at Jefferies wrote in a note to investors.
Molecular diagnostics were the other star performer. Sales of the tests grew 11.2% in the quarter on the strength of a high-single-digit increase in the U.S. and another double-digit period internationally. The molecular diagnostics unit has now achieved double-digit growth internationally in 10 of the last 11 quarters. Overall, Hologic remains skewed to the U.S. but is growing faster overseas.
With breast health and molecular diagnostics comprising almost two-thirds of Hologic's business, their performance was enough to offset weaknesses elsewhere. Notably, Hologic's move into the medical aesthetics market continues to disappoint.
Hologic paid $1.6 billion to buy Cynosure and expand into the new market, sparking varying degrees of surprise and concern among analysts and other observers. The doubts proved to be well placed. Hologic took a $732 million write down on the deal in May and has continued to struggle despite work to rebuild the sales force. Revenues fell 12% in the first quarter.
For now, breast health and molecular diagnostics are strong enough to carry medical aesthetics. After beating expectations in the quarter, Hologic is increasingly confident that the good will outweigh the bad across 2019. Hologic raised the bottom end of its 2019 sales guidance and held its earnings forecast steady despite stiffening foreign exchange headwinds.
The company recently received a De Novo clearance from FDA for its Aptima Mycoplasma genitalium assay, which screens for inflammation caused by the M. gen. bacterium in men and women. It's the first test authorized by the agency for this particular sexually transmitted infection. Last month, Hologic launched its Omni scope, which intends to streamline diagnostic and therapeutic uterine procedures by combining three interchangeable sheath options in one device.

Q: Building webapp for rendering (>20,000) zoomable and interactive objects I am trying to build a web-based user interface, which consists of over 20,0000 objects to render. The application is very similar to geospatial rendering but with 2D objects instead of geo JSON. The objects are arranged hierarchically and expected to display information on mouse-hover with dynamic pan/zoom ability.
I built the initial prototype with SVG but quickly realized its scalability issue and started working with Paper.js and PIXI.js (Canvas and WebGL engines). I am able to render fairly complex images now but the mouse events for such a large number of objects are getting very difficult to track.
recently I came across deck.gl which actually displays mouse hover events, but it does not change anything in the scene based on the hover or click event (I am guessing the library maintains the pixel to object mapping in the background, but frequent scene redraw is costly).
In the future, the application will require more interactivity like:

*

*Zoom on rectangle

*Selection on rectangle

*Drag and delete objects

I am wondering what could be the best technology to use for this application to ensure interativity and better scalability.

Randall Bush's fantasy fiction novel, The Quest for Asdin, is the culmination of twenty-five years of ideas and creative efforts that began back in 1978. In that year, he and a friend, David Parnell, organized a fantasy-writing group that was inspired by the styles of C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien. "At the time," says Bush, "the works of Tolkien had made a come-back, and we decided to try our hand at writing in the fantasy genre. Eventually, I started work on my first Ph.D. dissertation on F.W. Dillistone's theory of symbols. The Quest of Asdin became a creative reflection of deeper academic interests rooted in Dillistone's thought. Indeed, much of the novel reflects the influence of his thinking on my own quest for meaning and my search to find answers to life's deepest questions."
The Quest for Asdin is Bush's second work of fantasy fiction. His children's Christmas fantasy, Gabriel's Magic Ornament, was published by Pristine Publishers in 2002. Written for an older audience, The Quest for Asdin is filled with mystery, adventure, suspense, and romance. At a deeper level, however, it represents a quest for answers to some of humankind's deepest questions.
Bush went on to earn his D.Phil. from the University of Oxford in 1990. He is now Professor of Philosophy and Director of the Interdisciplinary Honors Program at Union University in Jackson, Tennessee where he lives with his wife, Cynthia, his son, Chris, and his daughter, Laura.
Among other life experiences, he has lived and traveled abroad extensively, done social work in a Houston barrio, lived on a Texas ranch, served as a part-time minister in a British church, and taught ninth-grade English in an inner-city Houston School. He is also an accomplished pianist, organist, and vocalist.


Consistency is key! If your customers go to your channels and see a huge lapse between posts, they may question your legitimacy.
If your channels are new, consider posting content for a few weeks before sending traffic to your profiles – this will make it look clean and like 'you've been there for a while'.
Know your audience. Post things that will be relevant to those that are your ideal client. Not sure what's relevant? Trial and error! If you post certain things that tend to get more engagement, chances are you should do more than that. As long as it's not viral videos about kittens – that trend can stop anytime now… hah!
Post only to channels that make sense for YOUR BUSINESS. Just because everyone says you have to be on a certain social media site doesn't necessarily make it true. Research where your clients and referral partners hang out online – then post there!
Mix up your content. Use a mix of photos, video, links, and plain text – if you can!
Stalk your competition – seriously! Check out what they are posting. Are people engaging with it?
Content is KING! Make it entertaining and useful where you can. Overly promotional doesn't get very far in social media land – but posts that bring value and insight to your audience – winner winner chicken dinner!
Try and set a social media plan to avoid getting stressed out. It can take significant time to plan out content weeks or months in advance but it's worth it! Even having a 'theme' will help your creative juices flow.
Consider hiring a freelancer or agency to help if you are overwhelmed. Make sure this one makes absolute sense before you do this. If you need to be on social (you do… trust us… it's just a matter of how much…), and if it's eating in to the time that you need to physically run your business, consider hiring a freelancer or agency. Make sure to ask a ton of questions to make sure this agency or individual is the right fit to help you!
Engagement is key… but remember it goes both ways. If people comment on your stuff or message you and you don't reply – then go back to start, do not pass go, and do not collect $200.
Optimize your profiles and pages. Make sure you update your bios, graphics, links etc to reflect your CURRENT business.
Analyze the data – if you have access to reporting data – review it to see where you can make improvements.
What does success look like to you? A 'number of followers' or amount of likes is considered a 'vanity metric'. These are far less important than actual return on your time investment in to social media. Is it resulting in sales and/or connections with your customers? That's what you want, if you have no connection but 10,000 followers – the followers dont mean anything!

\section{\label{sec:introduction}Introduction}

Cold molecule spectroscopy is a promising approach in searches for time variation of fundamental constants~\cite{PhysRevLett.99.150801, PhysRevLett.100.043201, PhysRevLett.100.043202, NewJPhys.11.055048}, parity violation in molecules~\cite{PhysRevLett.100.023003, 2010arXiv1007.1788I}, and time-reversal symmetry violation~\cite{JPhysB.43.074007}. Furthermore, cold polar molecules have been proposed for quantum computing~\cite{PhysRevLett.88.067901, 2009arXiv0903.3552S} and for long-range interaction studies of polar degenerate gases~\cite{Science.322.231}.  A review on recent developments in cold molecule technology  highlights these points, along with the difficulties associated with producing cold molecules~\cite{NewJPhys.11.055049}.

Translational cooling schemes have received significant attention~\cite{JChemPhys.104.9689, EurPhysJD.31.395, PhysRevLett.101.243002, PhysRevLett.103.223001, PhysRevA.77.023402, 2010arXiv1007.1788I}, and the DeMille group has recently demonstrated transverse Doppler cooling of $\mathrm{SrF}$~\cite{PhysRevLett.103.223001, Nature.467.820}.  To date, proposed schemes have been restricted to two-electronic-state molecules with highly diagonal Franck-Condon factors (FCFs), which are molecular equivalents of the simplest Doppler-cooling case: two-level atoms. (The FCF matrix describes the coupling of different vibrational levels in an electronic transition, with diagonal FCFs allowing many absorption-emission cycles without vibrational repumping.)  A number of two-electronic-state molecules have been proposed~\cite{EurPhysJD.31.395, PhysRevLett.101.243002, our.paper}; however, many potential candidates have an excited state whose lowest level lies \emph{above} the dissociation limit of the ground state~\cite{our.paper}.  Molecules having this characteristic suffer from predissociation~\cite{Herzberg}, in which coupling between the excited state and an unbound level of the ground state leads to dissociation on time scales which can be problematic for Doppler cooling~\cite{our.paper}.

Interestingly, we have found a number of molecular ions with highly diagonal FCFs, which would not suffer from predissociation; however, all identified species have an off-diagonal intermediate electronic state.  Here, we build on existing work with two-electronic-state molecules and propose Doppler cooling of three-electronic-state molecules, potentially introducing a new class of coolable molecules.  This development somewhat parallels the situation for laser-coolable atoms, in which repumping out of a low-lying $D$ state considerably increased the list of coolable atomic candidates.

One possible solution in dealing with the intervening molecular electronic state is to increase the number of repump lasers, in order to return population to the cycling transition.  However, this approach would require a large number of repump wavelengths, because the molecule can decay into multiple intervening-state vibrational levels with significant probability (since the FCFs between the excited and intervening state are generally not diagonal).  Instead, we consider molecules which decay rapidly back into the ground state from the intermediate state.  If the decay from the intermediate state is sufficiently fast, then a repump is not necessarily required, particularly for the case of ion-trap experiments in which long confinement times allow one to wait for spontaneous decay from a dark state.  Unfortunately, spontaneous decay from the intervening state into the ground state results in diffusion of both parity and total angular momentum; however, the additional states can be repumped by using a pulse-shaped femtosecond laser, increasing the number of addressable transitions without a significant increase in the total number of lasers.

\section{\label{subsection:three-state-general}General considerations}

We require some number of repump lasers in order to scatter the $10^{4}$-$10^{6}$ photons required to reach the Doppler limit. The total number of lasers needed to pump the molecule back into the cycling transition depends on two main factors: the FCFs, which determine the magnitude of vibrational branching~\cite{EurPhysJD.31.395, PhysRevLett.103.223001, our.paper}, and the vibrational relaxation rate, which determines the magnitude of parity and total angular momentum diffusion~\cite{our.paper}.

As an example, we consider $\mathrm{SiO}^{+}$ (see Fig.~\ref{fig:SiO_PEC}), whose $\mathrm{X}{^{2}\Sigma^{+}}$ and $\mathrm{B}{^{2}\Sigma^{+}}$ states have highly diagonal FCFs (see Fig.~\ref{fig:simple_two_state}).  $\mathrm{SiO}^{+}$ also has an intervening $\mathrm{A}{^{2}\Pi}$ state, which lies $2000 \ \mathrm{cm}^{-1}$ ($60\ \mathrm{THz}$) above the ground state.  One would naively expect that depopulating the $A$ state would require additional repump lasers. However, $\mathrm{SiO}^{+}$ is representative of a class of molecules for which spontaneous decays from the intermediate state to the ground state are on the same time scale as the intermediate state is populated (see Fig.~\ref{fig:simple_three_state}).

\begin{figure}[t]

Electronic decay into each vibrational level of the $A$ state is shown along with the net decay out of the level (energy not to scale).}
\end{center}
\end{figure}

Since the $A$ state in $\mathrm{SiO}^{+}$ lies only $2000\ \mathrm{cm}^{-1}$ ($60\ \mathrm{THz}$) above the $X$ state, one might expect that the $B \longrightarrow X$ and $B \longrightarrow A$ transitions would have similar spontaneous decay rates, since the transition rate is proportional to the cube of the transition frequency.  However, the transition moment for $B \longrightarrow A$ is surprisingly small~\cite{JMolSpec.197.12}, while the transition moment for $A \longrightarrow X$ transitions is relatively large~\cite{JMolSpec.197.12}.  The net result is that population buildup in the $A$ state is very slow.

\includegraphics[width=\columnwidth]{./images/SiO_intermediate_decay.pdf}
\caption{\label{fig:SiO_intermediate_decay} (Color online) Simplified energy level diagram showing decay to the $|g^{P''}_{0,J''}\rangle$ states through the intermediate $|i^{P'}_{v',J'}\rangle$ states (energy not to scale).

\end{center}

Transitions with different colors correspond to the addition of different lasers to the simulation, shown in Fig.~\ref{fig:three-state-solution}.}
\end{center}
\end{figure}

The low-lying $A$ state also provides a mechanism which increases the vibrational relaxation rate within the $X$ state.  This point becomes apparent from considering the $v'=0$ level of the $A$ state, which lies just below the $v''=2$ level of the $X$ state (see Fig.~\ref{fig:SiO_intermediate_decay}).  We denote states belonging to the $A$ state with $|i^{P'}_{v',J'}\rangle$.  The $|g^{P''}_{v''\geq 2,J''}\rangle \longleftrightarrow |i^{P'}_{v',J'}\rangle \longrightarrow |g^{P''}_{0,J''}\rangle$ decay channel provides a faster path to the $|g^{P''}_{0,J''}\rangle$ states than does direct vibrational decay within the $X$ manifold.  This rapid decay channel results in parity flips, requiring additional cycling and repumping lasers, as shown in Fig.~\ref{fig:lasers_three_state}.  Additionally, from the selection rule $\Delta J = 0, \pm 1$ it is clear that $B\longrightarrow A \longrightarrow X$ decay results in rotational diffusion, with population building up in the  $|g^{\pm}_{v'',J>3/2}\rangle$ states.

If the $A$ state were not present, $\mathrm{SiO}^{+}$ would behave similarly to $\mathrm{SrF}$ requiring repumping of a few vibrational levels of only one parity, and no rotational repumping.  However, the addition of the $A$ state effectively reduces the $X$ state vibrational lifetimes, resulting in three significant changes to the repumping and cycling requirements.  First, the even parity states $|g^{+}_{0,1/2}\rangle$ and $|g^{+}_{0,3/2}\rangle$ gain appreciable population and need to be repumped.   The $|g^{-}_{0,1/2}\rangle$ and $|g^{-}_{0,3/2}\rangle$ states can be driven by the same cw source, but the $|g^{+}_{0,1/2}\rangle$ and $|g^{+}_{0,3/2}\rangle$ are split by $129\ \mathrm{GHz}$, too large a shift for typical acousto-optic or electro-optic modulators.  Thus, the $|g^{+}_{0,1/2}\rangle \longrightarrow |e^{-}_{0,1/2}\rangle$ and $|g^{+}_{0,3/2}\rangle \longrightarrow |e^{-}_{0,1/2}\rangle$ must be driven by separate cw sources.  Second, each repumped vibrational manifold ($v''>0$) requires a total of four repumping wavelengths (see Fig.~\ref{fig:lasers_three_state}), of which only two can be derived from the same laser source.  Third, rotational repumping of the $|g^{\pm}_{v'',J''>3/2}\rangle$ states is required.  This rotational repumping can be accomplished by driving the $|g^{\pm}_{0,J''>3/2}\rangle \longleftrightarrow |e^{\mp}_{0,J''-1}\rangle$ transition ($P$-branch pumping) and $|g^{\pm}_{v''>0,J''>3/2}\rangle \longleftrightarrow |e^{\mp}_{v''-1,J''-1}\rangle$; however, each pumped rotational level requires a different cw source, since the rotational splitting is $0.7\ \mathrm{cm}^{-1}$ ($21\ \mathrm{GHz}$).

The actual number of driven transitions is determined in Sec.~\ref{sec:rate_equations}.  However, it is clear that the total number of required cw lasers quickly becomes unmanageable.

An attractive alternative to using cw lasers for repumping is to use a broadband source, such as a femtosecond laser.  Femtosecond-pulsed vibrational repumping has been successfully demonstrated by Viteau \emph{et al.}, with a pulse-shaping resolution of $1\ \mathrm{cm}^{-1}$ ($30\ \mathrm{GHz}$)~\cite{Science.321.232}.  With the current resolution, this technique could be applied to rotational repumping of the two-electronic-level hydrides~\cite{our.paper}; applying this technique to $\mathrm{SiO}^{+}$ would require a resolution of better than $0.7 \ \mathrm{cm}^{-1}$ ($21\ \mathrm{GHz}$), which should be achievable.  A typical $\mathrm{SiO}^{+}$ repumped transition (e.g., $v''=1$) has a lifetime of $\tau_{01}=11\ \mathrm{\mu s}$, so the corresponding saturation intensity is $32\ \mathrm{\mu W / cm}^{2}$.  If the frequency-doubled output of a commercially available femtosecond laser ($P_{L} \approx 500\ \mathrm{mW})$, evenly distributed across its bandwidth ($\Delta_{L}\approx100\ \mathrm{cm}^{-1}$), is used for repumping, a $200\ \mathrm{\mu m}$ beam waist is sufficient to saturate the transition.  In fact, we can take advantage of the comb nature of the femtosecond laser and use a controlled sweep, allowing us to periodically saturate the repumping transition with a larger beam waist.  We note that for $\mathrm{SiO}^{+}$, the $P$ branch is well separated from the $R$ branch~\cite{AppSurfSci.197.202}, reducing the complexity of the required spectral filtering. One could imagine driving the cooling transitions with cw lasers and the repump transitions with one or two pulse-shaped lasers.

\section{\label{sec:rate_equations} Rate-equation simulation for $\mathrm{SiO}^{+}$}

The population dynamics of cooling are determined using a rate-equation approach, similar to that used to model population dynamics for internal cooling schemes~\cite{NatPhys.6.271, NatPhys.6.275}.  This approach allows us to demonstrate that population does not build in the intermediate state and also allows us to find the number of Doppler-cooling photons scattered by the cycling transition.

Specifically, we solve

\begin{equation}
	\label{eq:rates_eq}
	\frac{d\bold{P}}{dt}=\bold{M}\bold{P},
\end{equation}

\noindent where $\bold{P}$ is a vector of $N$ energy-ordered elements, each corresponding to a different rovibrational state, and $\bold{M}$ is an $N\times N$ coupling matrix whose elements consist of Einstein $\mathcal{A}$ and $\mathcal{B}$ coefficients connecting the different rovibrational states.  Explicitly, the $i^{th}$ element is:

\begin{eqnarray}
	\label{eq:rates-ith-element}
	\frac{dP_{i}}{dt}&=& -\sum_{j=1}^{j=i-1}{\mathcal{A}_{ij}P_{i}}+\sum_{j=i+1}^{j=N}{\mathcal{A}_{ji}P_{j}} \\
	& & \nonumber -\sum_{j=1}^{j=i-1}{\mathcal{B}_{ij}E(\omega_{ij})P_{i}}-\sum_{j=i+1}^{j=N}{\mathcal{B}_{ij}E(\omega_{ij})P_{i}} \\
	& & \nonumber +\sum_{j=1}^{j=i-1}{\mathcal{B}_{ji}E(\omega_{ji})P_{j}}+\sum_{j=i+1}^{j=N}{\mathcal{B}_{ji}E(\omega_{ji})P_{j}} .
\end{eqnarray}

\noindent The $i^{th}$ and $j^{th}$ states are connected by Einstein coefficients denoted by $\mathcal{A}_{ij}$, $\mathcal{B}_{ij}$, and $\mathcal{B}_{ji}$ which correspond to spontaneous emission, stimulated emission, and absorption, respectively, and $E(\omega_{ij})$ is the spectral energy density at a given frequency $\omega_{ij}$.  The Einstein coefficients connecting different states are calculated using Level 8.0~\cite{level8.0}.  The energy separations were determined from Ref.~\cite{JMolSpec.169.364}, and potential energy curves and dipole transition moment curves were obtained from Refs.~\cite{JMolSpec.197.12, ChemPhys.73.169}.

In the three-electronic-level simulation, we include the $|g^{\pm}_{v''\leq 7, J''\leq13/2}\rangle$, the $|i^{\pm}_{v'\leq 7, J'\leq13/2}\rangle$, and the $|e^{\pm}_{v\leq 2, J\leq11/2}\rangle$ states for a total of $329$ states.  Transitions between electronic states are included, whereas rovibrational transitions within an electronic state are neglected, since these events are rare on cooling time scales.  However, the effective vibrational-relaxation rate for the $X$ state is reduced since the intervening $A$ state provides a fast-decay mechanism through the $X \longrightarrow A \longleftrightarrow X$ decay channel, which is included in the simulation.

\begin{figure}[tbf]

\includegraphics[width=\columnwidth]{./images/SiO+_three_state_photon_count_plots.pdf}
\caption{\label{fig:three-state-solution} (Color online) Total number of photons scattered for different laser configurations.  The shaded band corresponds to cooling to the Doppler limit from room temperature.  The upper limit corresponds a laser detuning fixed at half the natural line width, and the lower limit corresponds to a variable detuning that follows the temperature-dependent Doppler width.  Cooling (C$x$) and repumping (R$x$) wavelengths are shown in Fig.~\ref{fig:lasers_three_state}. From the plot, we see that we require a vibrational repump for the $v'' \leq 2$ levels as well as a rotational repump for $J''=\pm 5/2$. }
\end{center}
\end{figure}

Population is initially set to the $|g^{-}_{0,1/2}\rangle$ state, and the simulation is repeated for different laser configurations. In Fig.~\ref{fig:three-state-solution}, we show the number of scattered photons from the cycling transition.   In Case (i), we apply four wavelengths to drive the $|g^{\pm}_{0,1/2}\rangle\longleftrightarrow |e^{\mp}_{0,1/2}\rangle$ and $|g^{\pm}_{0,3/2}\rangle\longleftrightarrow |e^{\mp}_{0,1/2}\rangle$ cycling transitions (lines C$_{1}$-C$_{4}$ in Fig.~\ref{fig:lasers_three_state}).  Parity flips resulting from the intervening $A$ state require cycling both parities. Population builds up in the $|g^{\pm}_{1,1/2}\rangle$ and $|g^{\pm}_{1,1/2}\rangle$ states.

In Case (ii), we apply an additional four wavelengths to drive the $|g^{\pm}_{1,1/2}\rangle\longleftrightarrow |e^{\mp}_{0,1/2}\rangle$ and $|g^{\pm}_{1,3/2}\rangle\longleftrightarrow |e^{\mp}_{0,1/2}\rangle$ repumping transitions (lines R$_{1}$-R$_{4}$ in Fig.~\ref{fig:lasers_three_state}).   If the $A$ state were not present, population would primarily go dark in the $v''=2$ level since the $v''=1$ level is repumped, and because decay into the $v''=2$ level occurs at a faster rate than does decay into the $v''=3$ level (see Fig.~\ref{fig:simple_two_state}).   However, decay into multiple vibrational levels of the $A$ state occurs on the same timescale as does decay into the $v''=2$ level of the $X$ state (see Figs.~\ref{fig:simple_two_state} and \ref{fig:simple_three_state}).  Subsequent decay from the $A$ to $X$ state is fast, and the FCFs are such that population primarily returns to the $v''=0$ level, resulting in diffusion of parity and total angular momentum.  The resultant total photon count of $N\approx 3 \times 10^{4}$ photons is barely above the minimum required number of scattered photons.

In Case (iii), we apply an additional four wavelengths to drive the $|g^{\pm}_{2,1/2}\rangle\longleftrightarrow |e^{\mp}_{1,1/2}\rangle$ and $|g^{\pm}_{2,3/2}\rangle\longleftrightarrow |e^{\mp}_{1,1/2}\rangle$ repumping transitions (lines R$_{5}$-R$_{8}$ in Fig.~\ref{fig:lasers_three_state}), resulting in a slight increase in the photon count ($N\approx7 \times 10^{4}$).

In Case (iv), we apply an additional two wavelengths to drive the $|g^{\pm}_{0,5/2}\rangle\longleftrightarrow |e^{\mp}_{0,3/2}\rangle$ ($P$ branch) transitions (lines PR$_{1}$ and PR$_{2}$ in Fig.~\ref{fig:lasers_three_state}).  Now, population builds up in the $|g^{\pm}_{1,5/2}\rangle$ states, and the total number of scattering events is well above the minimum required for cooling to the Doppler limit ($N\approx 6\times 10^{5}$).

\section{\label{solution_discussion}Discussion}

\subsection{\label{fs-assisted-candidates}Femtosecond-assisted Doppler cooling candidates}

The approach of repumping by femtosecond laser pulse shaping increases the list of coolable molecules to include two-electronic-state hydrides~\cite{our.paper}, and certain molecules with a third intermediate state.  For example, a low-lying $A$ state also occurs in molecular ions: $\mathrm{CO}^{+}$~\cite{ChemPhys.130.361}, $\mathrm{GeO}^{+}$~\cite{ChemPhys.315.35}, $\mathrm{SnO}^{+}$~\cite{ChemPhysLett.368.465, JPhysChem.88.5759}, and $\mathrm{PbO}^{+}$~\cite{JPhysChem.88.5759}; and for neutral molecules: $\mathrm{BO}$~\cite{ChinOptLett.8.663}, $\mathrm{AlO}$~\cite{JMolStruct.458.61}, $\mathrm{GaO}$~\cite{JMolStruct.672.105}, $\mathrm{InO}$~\cite{MolPhys.89.13}, $\mathrm{TlO}$, and $\mathrm{N}_{2}^{+}$~\cite{JChemPhys.87.4716, JChemPhys.88.329}.  An intermediate state that has a different spin multiplicity (an $a$ state) that lies approximately equidistant to the excited and ground states also occurs in molecular ions: $\mathrm{CH}^{+}$~\cite{MolPhys.102.23}, $\mathrm{SiH}^{+}$~\cite{ChemPhsLett.237.204}, and $\mathrm{CCl}^{+}$~\cite{JChemPhys.78.7260}.  Two cases discussed further below are $\mathrm{CO}^{+}$, whose intermediate state lies between the $X$ and $B$ states, and $\mathrm{N}_{2}^{+}$, whose ungerade intermediate state is not dipole connected to the ungerade excited state.

In $\mathrm{CO}^{+}$,  the B$\longrightarrow$X transition has a rotationless radiative lifetime of $57.1 \ \mathrm{ns}$ (for $v=0$) with a transition frequency of $46,520\ \mathrm{cm}^{-1}$ ($215\ \mathrm{nm}$), and the A$\longrightarrow$X transition has a rotationless radiative lifetime of $4.03\ \mathrm{\mu s}$ (for $v=0$) with a transition frequency of $20,986\ \mathrm{cm}^{-1}\ (477\ \mathrm{nm})$~\cite{ChemPhys.130.361}.   The radiative lifetime for the B$\longrightarrow$A transition is $3.07\ \mathrm{\mu s}$, which we estimate by scaling the A$\longrightarrow$X lifetime by the transition frequency ($25,534\ \mathrm{cm}^{-1}\ (392\ \mathrm{nm})$), and by the transition moment which is $65 \%$ smaller in the B$\longrightarrow$A transition than the A$\longrightarrow$X, at the equilibrium bond length.  The short lifetime of the B$\longrightarrow$X transition, and the comparably long lifetimes of the B$\longrightarrow$A transition and the A$\longrightarrow$X transition make $\mathrm{CO}^{+}$ a potential cooling candidate, although a more careful analysis of transition rates would be required to determine the necessary repump transitions.

Another interesting potential candidate is $\mathrm{N}_{2}^{+}$, which has been loaded into an ion trap via state-selective photoionization~\cite{PhysRevLett.105.143001}.    Similar to $\mathrm{SiO}^{+}$ and $\mathrm{CO}^{+}$, the B$\longrightarrow$X transition of $\mathrm{N}_{2}^{+}$ has a short radiative lifetime ($59.1 \ \mathrm{ns}$ for $v=0$) with a transition frequency of $25,823 \ \mathrm{cm}^{-1}\ (387\ \mathrm{nm})$~\cite{JChemPhys.88.329}, and the $A \longrightarrow X$ transition has a radiative lifetime of $14\ \mathrm{ms}$ with a transition frequency of $9150\ \mathrm{cm}^{-1}$ ($1.1\ \mathrm{\mu m}$)~\cite{JChemPhys.87.4716}.    However, inversion symmetry prevents decay from the $B$ state ($^{2}\Sigma_{u}^{+}$) to the $A$ state ($^{2}\Pi_{u}$), so population does not appreciably build up in the $A$ state.  Also, since the molecule is homonuclear, there is no permanent dipole moment, so rovibrational transitions are dipole-forbidden.  Unfortunately, the FCFs of $\mathrm{N}_{2}^{+}$ are not as diagonal as they are for $\mathrm{SiO}^{+}$, so more vibrational repumping lasers would be required.

\subsection{\label{solution_doppler} Doppler cooling of SiO$^{+}$}

\begin{figure}[tbf]
\begin{center}
\includegraphics[width=\columnwidth]{./images/SiO+_comp_two_and_three_state_plots.pdf}
\caption{\label{fig:photon_count_comp} (Color online) Total number of photons scattered, treating $\mathrm{SiO}^{+}$ alternatively as a two-electronic-state molecule (ignoring the $A$ state) and as a three-electronic-state molecule (full treatment).  The shaded band corresponds to cooling to the Doppler limit from room temperature for different laser detunings (similar to Fig.~\ref{fig:three-state-solution}).  Cooling (C$x$) and repumping (R$x$) wavelengths are shown in Fig.~\ref{fig:lasers_three_state}.}
\end{center}
\end{figure}

By modeling the population dynamics using a rate-equation approach, we determine that $\mathrm{SiO}^{+}$ is a promising candidate for Doppler cooling.  The FCFs between the ground and excited states are highly diagonal, with a $B$ state lifetime of $70 \ \mathrm{ns}$.  Decay from the intermediate $A$ state occurs on a time scale faster than decay into it, so the effect of the intervening state is negligible, except that it leads to parity and rotational diffusion.  Furthermore, the $B$ state minimum lies below the dissociation limit of the $X$ and $A$ states, so predissociation into the $X$ or $A$ continua~\cite{our.paper} does not occur.

We must also examine the higher lying electronic states of $\mathrm{SiO}^{+}$.  In our model, we assumed a three-electronic-state system.  In fact, there are higher lying electronic states which we may accidentally excite from the $B$ state.  Coupling to the higher states would be of concern if they are unbound or if they predissociate~\cite{our.paper}.  We are currently in the process of performing spectroscopy with $\mathrm{SiO}^{+}$ to determine if these electronic states are connected via two-photon transitions from $X \rightarrow B$ and subsequently from the $B$ state to a higher-lying state.

From the simulation for the three-electronic-state system, we find a total of four cycling transitions and ten repumping transitions are required.  The four cycling transitions require three separate lasers since the $|g^{-}_{0,1/2}\rangle$ and $|g^{-}_{0,3/2}\rangle$ states belong to the same spin-rotation-split pair ($\Delta \omega_{sr} \approx 2\pi \times 625\ \mathrm{MHz}$).  Of the ten repumping transitions, eight can be driven by the same femtosecond laser source: the $|g^{\pm}_{1,J''=1/2, 3/2}\rangle \longrightarrow |e^{\mp}_{0,1/2}\rangle$, and the $|g^{\pm}_{2,J''=1/2,3/2}\rangle \longrightarrow |e^{\mp}_{1,J'}\rangle$ transitions, which span a region of $41\ \mathrm{cm}^{-1}$ ($1.2\ \mathrm{THz}$).  The remaining two $P$-branch pumping transitions ($|g^{\pm}_{0,5/2}\rangle \longrightarrow |e^{\mp}_{0,5/2}\rangle$) need to be driven with a separate cw laser for each, or with another femtosecond laser.

We also include a comparison of the number of scattered photons for $\mathrm{SiO}^{+}$ for Case (iv) of the three-electronic-state system, and a simulation where the intervening state was neglected (see Fig.~\ref{fig:photon_count_comp}).  Here, we see that the intervening $A$ state changes the nature of the repumping scheme; however, the $A$ state itself need not be repumped.  At $t\approx10^{-2}\ \mathrm{s}$ we notice a reduction in counts for the three-electronic-state system, which is due to population building up in the $|g^{\pm}_{1,5/2}\rangle$ states.  These states can be repumped using the same femtosecond laser present in this scheme, since the corresponding repump transitions fall within the laser bandwidth.

Using a femtosecond laser does require additional consideration.  Although the overall envelope of the laser is broad, the individual frequency components are comblike.  For a typical femtosecond laser, the frequency components are separated by $80\ \mathrm{MHz}$, so it is likely that a repumping transition will lie within the space between two frequency-comb lines.  However, various modulation techniques, either internal or external to the laser, can be used to span the appropriate repumping transitions.

\section{\label{sec:conclusion} Conclusion}

Similarly to how a low-lying $D$ state does not preclude Doppler cooling of three-level atoms, an intermediate electronic state does not preclude Doppler cooling of three-electronic-level molecules.  Using a rate-equation approach to model the population dynamics of $\mathrm{SiO}^{+}$ we determine that this species is a candidate for Doppler cooling of three-electronic-level molecules.  The $X$ and $B$ states have highly diagonal FCFs, and population does not remain trapped within the low-lying $A$ state due to $A \longrightarrow X$ decay.  As compared with a polar two-electronic-level molecule of similar reduced mass, the total number of repumped transitions is higher as a result of diffusion into opposite parity and higher-lying rotational states; however, this complication does not result in a significant increase in the total number of lasers when a pulse-shaped femtosecond laser is used for repumping.  Alternatively, if cryogenic precooling is used for trapped ions~\cite{2009arXiv0903.3552S} or for neutral beams~\cite{JPhysB.43.074007, PhysRevLett.103.223001, Nature.467.820}, the number of photons scattered to reach the Doppler limit is reduced by up to nearly two orders of magnitude. In this case, Doppler cooling of two-electronic-level hydrides~\cite{our.paper} or three-electronic-level oxides (see Fig.~\ref{fig:three-state-solution}) requires fewer repumping lasers.

For the case of molecular ions, sympathetic cooling by a cotrapped atomic species provides an alternate and quite general approach~\cite{NatPhys.6.271,NatPhys.6.275, PhysRevLett.105.143001} for achieving milliKelvin molecular ion temperatures.  However, direct
Doppler cooling of the molecular ion species removes the need for a sympathetic coolant ion, which would be desirable in cases in which the light driving the atomic-cycling transition changes the molecular internal state or results in photodissociation. Elimination of the sympathetic coolant ions might also be desirable for cases in which the presence of a second species could create unwanted complications (e.g., quantum information processing using trapped polar molecular ions coupled to external circuits~\cite{2009arXiv0903.3552S}).  Additionally, achieving the degree of photon cycling necessary for Doppler cooling would also allow single-molecule fluorescence imaging and nondestructive direct detection of trapped molecular species.

In conclusion, an intermediate electronic state is not prohibitive to Doppler cooling and does not require optical pumping when population rapidly decays out of that state.  We note that the requirements for repumping rates and intermediate-state relaxation rates are considerably relaxed in ion traps, since very long state-independent trapping times are routinely achieved. We have also suggested a number of other possible candidates which are similar to $\mathrm{SiO}^{+}$, as well as molecules in which the intermediate state is not dipole-connected because of spin or gerade/ungerade symmetry.

Currently, we are in the process of performing spectroscopy of $\mathrm{SiO}^{+}$ in order to make a first observation of electronic states above the $B$ state.  Once the energy for these transitions is confirmed, we plan on proceeding with an attempt to Doppler cool $\mathrm{SiO}^{+}$.

Over the course of a year (2005/06), I worked closely with a Christchurch firm of funeral directors and with families who had recently lost loved ones. The exhibition seeks to demystify a world that is often left to the imagination. The series of black and white photographs focus on the journey of the body from the time of death to burial or cremation. It's not a linear narrative in the traditional sense but rather it is made up of multiple narratives covering a range of cultural experiences. My aim was not to be sensational or gratuitous; photography has played a central role in memorialising the dead since its invention.
I had a very personal motivation for wanting to go behind the scenes of a funeral home. I lost my mother at the age of seven. It was 1970.
The adults took charge and we weren't included in the funeral. It's an experience I've carried with me into adulthood. I've always wanted to know what her journey would have been and to say goodbye myself.

Bangor International Airport emergency landing – 13 January 2020
Posted on 15 Januarie 2020 15 Januarie 2020 by volksvryheid
Bangor International Airport has emerged as Maine's friendly, convenient airport, and the best choice for getting to and from the Bangor region. With competitive airfares, and the lowest fees for services, such as parking, Bangor ensures the smartest travel choice. Passengers notice the difference at one of the fastest growing regional airports in the United States.
13 January 2020 – BANGOR, Maine —
One of the world's largest passenger jets landed Monday at Maine's Bangor International Airport when one of its passengers suffered a medical emergency. An airport spokeswoman said the Emirates Airbus A380 coming from Dubai landed at the airport at 9:30 a.m. Monday.
The fire department needed to use its aerial ladder to get the patient off the plane.
Spokeswoman Aimee Thibodeau said the plane took off at 12:15 p.m. to continue its flight to New York's John F. Kennedy Airport.

One of the world's largest passenger jets made an unscheduled landing at Maine's Bangor International Airport because of a medical emergency involving a passenger, officials said. Katie Johnston reports.
Aerial apparatus and Bangor Ladder familiarization with one of our mutual-aid departments, the Bangor Fire Department. What is a Bangor Ladder you might wonder? Well, back in the day these very long and very heavy extension ladders were made right in the city of Bangor, originally out of wood! Thus the name! Although some folks outside of Maine may call it a "Banger Ladder" or "Pole Ladder", we in the Bangor area know and proudly use the proper pronunciation!!
To raise this ladder both poles called "Tormentor Poles" are used both in the raising, operation and lowering of the ladder. They provide additional lift,control and stabilization of this tallest (50' and taller in some cases) of ground ladders.

You never know what the next call will be. This morning we had the largest passenger plane in the world land at BIA for a medical emergency. This Airbus A380, coming from Dubai, was so big our aerial had to be used for a second level patient extrication. Bangor International Airport
Bangor Professional Firefighters IAFF Local 772 Mark T Miller , we didn't get good video but the black smoke (assumed it came from the breaks) was impressive. The pilots knew what they were doing. The short stopping distance was very impressive
Bangor International Airport began as "Godfrey Field" in 1927, on land owned by local attorney Edward Rawson Godfrey (1877-1958). Regular air passenger service to Portland and Boston was begun in 1931 by Boston-Maine Airways, owned by the Boston and Maine and Bangor and Aroostook railroads, but under contract to Pan American which was interested in the airport as one stop on its planned intercontinental air route between the US and Europe. In 1940 Boston-Maine became Northeast Airlines, which eventually merged with Delta Airlines in 1972. Amelia Earhart was a celebrity pilot on some of the earliest flights for Boston-Maine Airways in the 1930s. The airport was equipped with floodlights for night flights as early as 1937.
Just prior to the Second World War, Godfrey Field was taken over by the U.S. Army Air Corps and became the Bangor Army Air Field. Its mission was to serve as an embarkation point for military aircraft flying to Europe on the Great Circle Route. The name was changed to Dow Army Airfield in 1942, and in 1947, when the newly formed U.S. Air Force took control, it became Dow Air Force Base. In 1958 the longest runway east of the Mississippi was constructed at Dow in order to accommodate B-52 bombers; the same runway that accommodates jet passenger aircraft today. In addition to strategic bombers, Dow was home to the 101st Fighter Wing, which, converted to a refueling wing, still shares space with the airport today, flying predominantly Boeing KC-135 Stratotankers. Some of the other military aircraft that regularly use the airport are McDonnell Douglas KC-10 Extenders and Boeing C-17 Globemasters.
Bangor has been the port of entry for over half a million servicemen and women returning from the First and Second Gulf Wars and the action in Bosnia on military charters. Starting in 1991, a combination of local veteran's groups and interested citizens formed themselves into troop greeters, to avoid the situation of the Vietnam War when soldiers returned without ceremony or greeting. The civilian-driven 'ceremony of return' in Bangor has been well organized and often ebullient. On September 23, 2004, President George Bush boarded a plane carrying the troops of the 30th National Guard Brigade Combat Team as they stopped at Bangor International to refuel along their way to Iraq. In 2006, former President Bill Clinton spontaneously joined the line of troop-greeters when his private plane made a refueling stop.
