Q: Proving an integral relation (isotropic function) In Hansen-McDonald's book Theory of Simple Liquids the following relation is often used:
We want to evaluate the integral
$$\int_V f(\vec r_1, \vec r_2) d \vec r_1$$
We observe that if the function $f$ is isotropic, i.e.
$$f(\vec r_1, \vec r_2) = f(\mid \vec r_1- \vec r_2 \mid) $$
then
$$\int_V f(\vec r_1, \vec r_2) d \vec r_1 = \int_V f(\mid \vec r_1- \vec r_2 \mid) d \vec r_1 =  f(r) \ V $$
where
$$V= \int_V d \vec r$$
This makes sense to me, because if the function only depends on the distance I can choose to fix $\vec r_1$ everywhere in the volume (obtaining a volume term) and I will be left with $f(r)=f(\mid \vec r_1- \vec r_2 \mid)$.
But how can I prove the last relation in a rigorous way? I guess it must be some kind of change of variables, but I cannot figure out which one.
Update
This relation is used for example in equation (2.5.15):

(notice that $\rho = N/V$. Also, $g(r) \to 1$ for $r\to \infty$)
I also just found out that a similar relation, which we can write as
$$\int_V \int_V f(\mid \vec r_1-\vec r_2\mid) d\vec r_1 d\vec r_2 = V \int_V f(r) d\vec r$$
is used in equation (2.5.18-19), with the following explanation:

(notice that in this case $v(r) \to 0$ for $r \to \infty$)
It would be also nice to start by proving this in two dimensions, i.e. for
$$\int_I \int_I f(\mid x-y\mid) dx dy \ \ \text{and} \ \ \int_I f(\mid x-y\mid) dy$$
where $I$ is a closed interval, even if I'm starting to suspect (see John Barber's answer) that this result is not rigorous.

A: I think something must be wrong here. Counterexample:
Suppose
$$
f\left(\vec{r}_1, \vec{r}_2\right) =
f\left(\left| \vec{r}_1 - \vec{r}_2\right|\right) =
\exp\left(-\frac{1}{2}\frac{{\left|\vec{r}_1 - \vec{r}_2\right|}^2}{\epsilon^2}\right)
$$
for some small $\epsilon$. Suppose the length scale of $V$ is much larger than $\epsilon$, and consider the quantity
$$
g\left(\vec{r}_2\right) = \int_V d\vec{r}_1\, f\left(\vec{r}_1, \vec{r}_2\right)\, .
$$
The integrand is a narrow Gaussian centered at $\vec{r}_2$. If $\vec{r}_2$ is more than several multiples of $\epsilon$ away from the boundary of $V$, then essentially all of the Gaussian is integrated over, and
$$
g\left(\vec{r}_2\right) \approx {\left(2\pi \epsilon^2\right)}^{d/2}\, ,
$$
where $d$ is the dimensionality of the space.
If $\vec{r}_2$ is on the boundary of $V$, then about half the Gaussian is integrated over, and we have
$$
g\left(\vec{r}_2\right) \approx \frac{1}{2}{\left(2\pi \epsilon^2\right)}^{d/2}\, .
$$
These bear no resemblance to (what appears to be) the asserted relationship
$$
g\left(\vec{r}_2\right) = V\, f\left( \left| \vec{r}_2 \right| \right)\, .
$$
What section of H&M does this appear in? I've got a copy of it around here somewhere. I'm wondering if perhaps the actual relationship might be
$$
\int_V d\vec{r}_1 \int_V d\vec{r}_2\, f\left(\vec{r}_1-\vec{r}_2\right)
 = V \int_V d\vec{r}_1\, f\left(\vec{r}_1\right)\, ,
$$
which should be perfectly valid so long as $f$ is sufficiently strongly peaked or localized. Since it's H&M, I would imagine that $f$ is something like $f(r) = \exp\left[-U(r)/k_B T\right]$ or $f(r) = 1 - \exp\left[-U(r)/k_B T\right]$, where $U$ is an intermolecular potential?
Response to Update:
The thing to keep in mind is that there are some assumptions implicit in H&M that are relevant here. These integral identities don't apply to just any radial function, but only to the sort relevant in molecular thermodynamics. This assumes that the function $f(\vec{r})$ varies on a molecular length scale $\epsilon$, and that the domain of integration $V$ is more like a macroscopic length scale. So we have a radical difference of scales here. Outside a length scale $\epsilon$, the function $f$ will typically be either zero or constant. Under these assumptions, some of these integral "identities" are approximately true.
I'm not going to get into H&M Equations (2.5.15) and (2.5.18) copied above. They depend on the precise definition of the two-particle distribution function, which is beyond the scope of a math.stackexchange post.
I do want to address the last part of your update. Define:
$$
g(y) = \int_I dx\,  f(x - y)\, .
$$
Here $I$ is an interval of length $L$, and we assume that $f$ is compactly supported (more or less) over an interval of length on the order of $\epsilon$, a small number. An example would be:
$$
f(x) = \exp\left(-\frac{1}{2}\frac{x^2}{\epsilon^2}\right)\, .
$$
By the same argument as above,
$$
g(y) = \mathrm{constant} \approx \int_{-\infty}^{+\infty} dx\,  f(x)
$$
unless $y$ is within a distance of about $\epsilon$ of one of the boundaries of $I$. Thus the assertion in the original post is actually wrong, even for H&M-type functions, and isn't what is being used in the equations from H&M.
However:
\begin{align}
\int_I dy\, g(y) &\approx \int_I dy \int_{-\infty}^{+\infty} dx\,  f(x) \\
&\approx L \int_I dx\, f(x) \;+\; \text{An error of order $\epsilon$}\, .
\end{align}
Here I've implicitly assumed that the domain $I$ is sufficiently "centered" that
$$
\int_{-\infty}^{+\infty} dx\,  f(x) \approx \int_I dx\,  f(x)\, .
$$
As long as $f$ falls off sufficiently rapidly (i.e. don't try this with particles mediated by a Coulomb potential!), we can ignore the error term, and the "double integral" identity should approximately hold.
Update to address Equation 2.5.15 above:
Theory of Simple Liquids can be found here on Google Books. The relevant page is 31.
I've gone over the steps leading to equation 2.5.15, and I don't think it makes sense as written. I'm convinced it's a typo. 2.5.15 doesn't seem to follow from 2.5.14. I think the argument of the integral in 2.5.15 is supposed to be:
$$
g^{(2)}_N(r' + r, r') = g^{(2)}_N\left(\left|r' + r - r'\right|\right) = g^{(2)}_N\left(\left|r\right|\right) = g(r)
$$
That makes much more sense to me, and leads to the desired result.

Q: A function with zero gradient is locally constant A mapping $f:X\to Y$ is defined to be locally constant if $\forall x\in X$, there exists a neighbourhood $V(x)$ containing $x$ such that $a\in V(x)\implies f(a)=x_0$ for some constant $x_0$. In other words, every point in that neighbourhood maps to the same image.
My book says that if $\text{grad }f=0$ for all $x \in X$, then $f$ is locally constant.
Could someone give a proof of this fact? It has been confusing me for some time now!

A: This is a special case of the mean value inequality for functions of several variables: if $|\nabla f|\le M$ on the line segment from $a$ to $b$, then
$$
|f(a)-f(b)|\le M|a-b|
$$
The proof amounts to applying the usual mean value theorem to the one-variable function
$$g(t)=\langle f(a+t(b-a)),b-a\rangle$$
which has $g(1)-g(0)=|f(b)-f(a)|^2$ and $|g'(t)| =| \langle f'(t), b-a\rangle|\le M|b-a|$.
In your case $M=0$.

Ontario Human Rights Commission to look at anti-Indigenous racism in lacrosse
2 months ago Adiantku
The Ontario Human Rights Commission says it plans to address the issue of anti-Indigenous racism...
The Ontario Human Rights Commission says it plans to address the issue of anti-Indigenous racism in lacrosse.
The commission announced on Tuesday that it will meet with Six Nations of the Grand River First Nation, the Ontario Lacrosse Association, and the Canadian Lacrosse Association in the coming months to discuss how to address systemic racism against Indigenous lacrosse players.
"Lacrosse has long been a way for Indigenous communities to connect with each other in a spirit of trust, respect and honour," said OHRC interim chief commissioner Ena Chadha. "But connections with non-Indigenous communities are quickly broken and trust is destroyed when they are fraught with harassment and abuse.
"Our goal is to build relationships that unite and uphold reconciliation, and encourage all to proactively address racism."
The commission said it hopes the meetings can happen in the late winter or early spring in order to honour a request by Six Nations of the Grand River to hold them in person.
Lacrosse was played by Indigenous people for hundreds of years before Europeans arrived in North America.
The sport holds a central role in the culture of the Haudenosaunee people, who are called the Iroquois in French or the Six Nations in English.
Mark Hill, elected chief of Six Nations of the Grand River, said that lacrosse is a "Haudenosaunee life essence."
"A gift from the Creator, lacrosse is the bridge that is meant to be shared with the world, in friendship, peace and unity," said Hill. "Our hope is that every man, woman and child that chooses to and wants to freely experience the thrill of playing the Creator's game can do so in a healthy environment."
The commission said Six Nations of the Grand River, the most heavily populated First Nation in Canada, wants the meetings to be in person so there can be full community representation, including elders.
The OHRC also said it will retain an expert Indigenous facilitator to support these discussions. The talks will start with concerns raised by members of the Six Nations lacrosse community as the first step in the important process of rebuilding trust, fostering accountability and promoting reconciliation.

I individually don't definitely like phrases like "the iPhone Killer" or in this situation "the Airpod Killer". the assumption that something is so exact it's going to kill the opposition absolutely, seems a bit a ways-fetched and unrealistic, but the red Dot and iF layout Award prevailing TicPods make a bulletproof case against most wireless earbuds, in particular the AirPods.
those tiny clearly-wireless earbuds are clever each internally and externally, rivaling the ones created by using huge corporations, customized for his or her eco-structures (Google, Apple, I'm searching at you). constructed for audio, but constructed for manipulate too, the TicPods come with a hint-touchy surface that lets you tap, double faucet, slide, and lengthy press to manipulate track playback or maybe run phone features. regardless of which eco-device you're in, the controls paintings cleverly with music gambling apps to govern playback, quantity, or maybe solution and reject calls. long urgent helps you to talk in your telephone's voice assistant… regardless of whether you're an Android or iOS person. This inter-OS method lets you use the TicPods for years, irrespective of what phone you very own at the time!
The TicPods include in-ear detection as properly, permitting you to pause music by means of in reality taking someone earpiece out, making them immersive when you want them to be, and cooperative when you want to take a damage. they come complete with ambient noise cancellation and noise isolation, making them perfect to be used in your daily shuttle, or even at the same time as workout, given the fact they have an IPx5 water-resistance score. built with a whopping 18 hour battery life and fast-charging that gives you shut to 3 hours of playtime on a 30 minute fee, the TicPods can sit down with ease in your ears all day, permitting you to journey, paintings, play, after which exercise session without breaking a sweat… and what's virtually superb is that it does all this with an OS agnostic technique. So in a world wherein you're chained for your cellphone's running gadget, and their anti-headphone-jack dictatorial regime, the TicPods (which come at an early chicken pricing of $seventy nine) are literally tune to all of us's ears!
I wouldn't call the TicPods an "AirPod killer", however then again, I wouldn't be amazed if humans stopped buying every other wireless earbud in prefer of them.

Hawkwind - "The Weird Tapes No. 8"
I am really not sure why it took years for this, the last Weird tape to be released, but it is out now. The other 7 Volumes were released in 2000 and some became quite hard to get and are out of print, I believe. Anyway, this features some of the earliest stuff and although it is called Hawkwind, it is actually Dave Brock playing with some of his pre-Hawkwind blues bands. There is indeed some really great stuff from the early 70's Lemmy era Hawkwind with an alternative version of Space is Deep from the 1973 Space Ritual Tour, which starts this CD off. Down on her Knees is next and it says location and date is unknown. The sound is hard to place but it does not sound like Huw on lead guitar and there are two guitars so it could be the 1970 line up with Mick Slattery on guitar? Next up is Live and Let Live, live from the US tour 1973, it appears. A very spaced out piece of stoned music. The middle portion of the CD is the blues stuff recorded between '66 and 68'. The last two tracks are in mono and recorded in 1971 (Dreaming and Shouldn't Do That), both audience recordings it appears. This is for the Hawkwind collectors for sure.

Egypt newspaper: Holocaust a lie and the hoax of the 20th century
Editorial Staff August 4, 2004
Folks, once again, the jealous Arab nation of Egypt has manufactured a series of articles that deny the Holocaust, and claim Jews invented "lies of genocide" to extort the West and make possible the establishment of the Jewish state.
Dr. Rif'at Sayyed Ahmad, director of the "Jaffa Research Center" in Cairo and columnist for Al-Liwaa Al-Islami, which is the Egypt's ruling National Democratic Party's paper, published a two-part article titled 'The Lie About The Burning of the Jews.' In his article, Ahmad stated, using the work of Western Holocaust deniers, that the burning of Jews in gas chambers during World War II was a tale made up by the Zionist movement in order to extort the West and make possible the establishment of the Zionist enterprise. The following are excerpts from the article, Al-Liwaa Al-Islami (Egypt), June 24, 2004; July 1, 2004.
'Did this Holocaust Indeed Take Place, and what is the Truth about the Numbers?'
"The Zionist enterprise on the land of Palestine succeeded by means of lies and myths, from the myth of the 'Chosen People' and the 'Promised Land' to the lie about the burning of the Jews in the Nazi gas chambers during World War II. When these means were scientifically examined, it was proven that they were untrue, that their reasoning was weak, and that they cannot withstand the test of solid fact.
"What interests us here is that this lie [about] the burning of the Jews in the Nazi crematoria has been disseminated throughout the world until our time in order to extort the West and make it easier for the Jews of Europe to hunt [sic] Palestine and establish a state on it, in disregard of the most basic principles of international law and the right of peoples to independent life without occupation. [This lie] was raised [also] so that [the Jews] would receive financial, technological, and economic aid from the West.
"During the past 50 years, Germany alone gave a total of some $100 billion. Many European countries began to amend their laws so that they would be compatible with the Holocaust myth … and they toughened the regulations, resolutions, and laws convicting anyone who mocks this lie or tries to [state that] the number of victims was smaller – as happened to Muslim philosopher Roger Garaudy in France.
"This entire situation has turned the Holocaust – that is, Hitler's operation of burning the Jews in gas chambers – into a drawn sword at the necks of historians and serious researchers in the West, and even in the East. At the same time, [the Holocaust] became profitable goods for the Zionist entity…
"At a conference of 50 countries held in Germany in April 2004, the German foreign minister delivered a speech called 'Antisemitism.' He demanded that the conference participants demonstrate solidarity with Israel and fight those who deny or cast doubt on the matter of the burning of the Jews in the Nazi crematoria. Several months ago in the city of Stockholm, Sweden, some 26 European and non-European countries passed a resolution to teach 'the false Nazi holocaust' that Hitler had carried out against the Jews, at all stages of study in the schools of the participating countries. At the same time, there were words of appreciation for the Israeli prime minister, whose entity is today implementing the same purported Hitler Nazism.
"None of the senior officials who participated in the conference bothered to answer a number of questions: Did this holocaust indeed take place, and what is the truth about the numbers that were disseminated regarding it? [They did not answer the question of] what their opinion was regarding the slaughter in cold blood of children, men, and defenseless elderly in Palestine today, since September 28, 2002 [sic]. Is this not 'the new Nazism?' And how does their false European integrity and their false defense of human rights accept this?
"To this day, none of these countries has answered these questions, and never will answer them, because they are hypocrites with regard to [the difference between] perception and analysis, and there is no chance of getting an answer from them. We can only present clear-cut evidence, and try to reread the story of this 'holocaust' with complete objectivity."

Football (or soccer) is the most popular sport on the planet, with a recent survey suggesting that more than half of the world's entire population consider themselves to be soccer fans. This PlayTech designed is based on the Top Trumps trading card games, featuring some of the true legends from the history of the game. Pele, Franz Beckenbauer, Bobby Charlton, Alfredo di Stefano, Johann Cruyff and Michel Platini all appear on the reels, while many more legends appear in the bonus games. With free spins and a 'Wall of Fame' bonus feature, fans will revel in the atmosphere of this enjoyable online slot.
A 5x3 reel set up featuring a total of 15 win-lines.
Win 10,000 coins when you line up the legend that is 'Pele' five times in a row.
A gamble feature, where you can spin up any win.
Enjoy a free spins bonus feature with a chosen extra wild.
Enjoy even more legends (as well as cash prizes) in the 'Wall of Fame' bonus feature.
To enter the free spins bonus feature you'll need to land the Top Trumps bonus symbol three times or more across any of the five reels. Doing so will award you 10 free spins. Before the spins start however, you'll be asked to pick one of the players that appear on the reels – throughout the bonus feature this player will now act as an additional wild symbol.
During the free spins, any time the chosen 'wild' symbol substitutes for another symbol leading to a win, the win amount will be multiplied by four! Win multipliers are always a nice touch in a bonus feature, and this one can make a big difference to your bankroll. The free spins feature can continue indefinitely, as you can retrigger at any time.
To enter the game's second feature, you'll need to land the 'Wall of Fame' symbol simultaneously on reels 1 and 5. You'll now see a wall featuring 16 legends, including such names as Zinedine Zidane and Kenny Dalglish. You can then shuffle the legends, until they are set up as you like. You'll now make 3 picks and each will award a cash prize. If you're lucky, one of the picks will award additional picks too.
Any time you win, you'll have the option of taking a gamble to double your money. When gambling, five face down playing cards appear. The leftmost card will then be revealed. You'll now pick one of the four remaining cards and hope that it has a higher value than the original card. If correct, your win is doubled, if wrong you'll lose your cash. You also have the option of just gambling half of your original win.
Top Trumps Football Legends is five-reel slot featuring 15 win-lines that pay from left to right. Pele acts as the wild symbol and will substitute for any other symbol apart from the bonus symbols. Land the legendary Brazilian five times in a row and you'll win an impressive 10,000 coins. Next on the pay table are the other legends of the game, while playing card symbols 10, J, Q, K and A complete the rest of the pay table.
Top Trumps Football Legends plays out within the confines of a huge stadium, with the tops of huge stands peaking out above the tops of the reels. Throughout the game you can hear the roar of the crowd, while an up-tempo football-style theme tune plays throughout the bonus feature. With photographic imagery on the reels, alongside the playing card symbols (with a net in the background), the design will appeal to fans of the game.
Will Top Trumps Football Legends Trump Other Online Casino Slots?
Transferring the all-action energy of a game like football to on an online slot can be a difficult ask, but PlayTech has done a fine job here. The base game offers the chance of a huge 10,000-coin win at any time, while two bonus features keep the action fast-paced. The free spins, with the additional wild, can be a real money spinner. While the 'Wall of Fame' bonus feature will see you pick your favourites for some nice cash prizes too. An enjoyable game for all sports fans!

deadmau5 responds to negative fan reaction toward techno set
The recent situation between deadmau5 and Marshmello's fans is currently one of the biggest stories in dance music. During the Decadence festival in Arizona this past New Year's Eve, the Canadian artist was announced to essentially act as an opener for his more commercial counterpart Marshmello. Instead of playing his usual progressive house tracks, deadmau5 decided to play a deeper set that consisted mainly of techno music.
Deadmau5's 75-minute performance sparked an outrage from many fans of Marshmello's, who were surprised, or even upset, about the "boring" and "garbage" set. These attendees could not appreciate the non-mainstream genre of electronic music that was being played, which led them to bash deadmau5 on social media. For instance, an attendee reported, "I heard a number of comments like 'his build ups take too long' or even straight up 'this is boring'. We waved goodbye to all the people he cleared out with a huge smile on our faces."
Outspoken in his own right, deadmau5 immediately responded on Twitter regarding the negative reaction his techno set has received. He openly expressed his opinion regarding the lack of recognition for classical electronic music, with comments such as "you can't [expletive] sit there and say Maceo Plex's Solar Detroit is "weak fam"."
Check out the thread of tweets he posted the day after his performance:
apologies to everyone to had to listen to actual techno. next time i will play lil yachty vocals over dope trap beets for you and your fam
— Goat lord (@deadmau5) January 2, 2017
alternatively…. you could… just stay the fuck home and realize, not guess, that i dont give a fuck. you bunch of fucking crybabies.
as for the REST of you…. thank you for letting me play what i love, and know that i put a lot of consideration into that. 😀
i can deal with tears over "ghost n struff" vs. "alone" … but you cant fucking sit there and say Maceo Plex's Solar Detroit is "weak fam"
oh im not. ill GLADY take their fucking money. Cry all you want. your tears pay for this career. The appreciators and fans get rewarded. https://t.co/gE7n0q7Vjd
well… it was a shitty sacrifice i had to make to get the other shows in order too. so… there's that i guess. https://t.co/I3VU203XCH

Historic Porto: Food & Wine Private Day Tour
Holidays, Full Day & Multi Day Tour Packages - Minimum Spend €500 per person, per day
João, Portugal Expert
Porto Day Tour with private transfers
Exclusive food and wine private tour in Porto, Portugal
This unforgettable private tour will take you through the historic centre of Porto, a UNESCO World Heritage Site to discover the highlights of Portugal's second largest city.
Welcome to Porto -Portugal's northern capital and second largest city with rich traditions and a UNESCO World Heritage city center.
Located along the Douro river estuary in Northern Portugal, Porto is one of the oldest European centres, and its historical core was proclaimed a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1996. The western part of its urban area extends to the coastline of the Atlantic Ocean.
One of Portugal's internationally famous exports, port wine, is named after Porto, since the metropolitan area, and in particular the cellars of Vila Nova de Gaia, were responsible for the packaging, transport and export of the fortified wine. In 2014 and 2017, Porto was elected "Best European Destination" by the Best European Destinations Agency.

On your private tour, you will experience Porto's top highlights with a professional English speaking driver/guide.

In the busting and colourful markets and food shops, and the traditional, highly unique cafes, you will discover the authentic heart of Porto in its people. You will enjoy the stops we have arranged so that you can relax as you taste some Portuguese delicacies in typical Porto shops such as cheeses, bread, cured sausages, olives and more.

Nigeria (album)
Nigeria (disambiguation)
The Federal Republic of Nigeria, commonly referred to as Nigeria i/naɪˈdʒɪəriə/, is a federal constitutional republic in West Africa, bordering Benin in the west, Chad and Cameroon in the east, and Niger in the north. Its coast in the south lies on the Gulf of Guinea in the Atlantic Ocean. It comprises 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory, where the capital, Abuja is located. Nigeria is officially a democratic secular country.
Modern-day Nigeria has been the site of numerous kingdoms and tribal states over the millennia. The modern state originated from British colonial rule beginning in the 19th century, and the merging of the Southern Nigeria Protectorate and Northern Nigeria Protectorate in 1914. The British set up administrative and legal structures whilst practising indirect rule through traditional chiefdoms. Nigeria became a formally independent federation in 1960, and plunged into a civil war from 1967 to 1970. It has since alternated between democratically-elected civilian governments and military dictatorships, until it achieved a stable democracy in 1999, with its 2011 presidential elections being viewed as the first to be conducted reasonably freely and fairly.

The Royal Palace, Phnom Penh
With the exception of a brief absence during the dark days of the Khmer Rouge, Phnom Penh's Royal Palace has been home to Cambodia's kings since its construction in 1866. A sprawling complex of gardens, pagodas, stupas, spires, pavilions and ornate halls for every royal occasion, it's reminiscent of Versaille or Buckingham, but with traditional Buddhist architecture and without the hordes of tourists. Its impressive grounds allow space to wander, so much so that it's easy to feel like you're paying a Saturday afternoon visit to King Sihamoni himself.
The Kingdom, and its royal family, is taken very seriously in Cambodia. It's difficult to miss the large, framed photos of King Sihamoni, as well as his father Norodom Sihanouk and wife Norodom Monineath Sihanouk, which are proudly displayed in nearly every restaurant or hotel in Phnom Penh. At the Palace, spires reach high into the clouds and gold tiles shine in the sun. In true royal fashion, the beauty is found in the details, with intricate ceiling frescos, gold-plated busts, and Buddha statues encrusted with diamonds found throughout. The Silver Pagoda in particular is breathtaking, with over 5,000 floor tiles made of silver and housing some of the kingdom's most prized artifacts and treasures.
The palace is beautiful; a symbol of royalty, wealth, and opulence. However, it's difficult not to think of the outer city limits, the dirt roads, the barefooted children and the people collecting plastic bottles for recycling. Another example of hierarchical tradition in a modern, and in this case, struggling world.
Find it on Sothearos Blvd (a short tuk tuk or fairly easy walk from both hotel districts)
Open 8-11am & 2-5pm
Admission is $7 per person
Men must wear shorts that reach the knee and a t-shirt
Women must wear pants or skirt that covers the knees and a t-shirt/blouse to cover the shoulders
Shoes must be removed before entering the pagoda
We've read that the palace gets very busy on Sundays when Khmers pay their respects
best & badass:
Throne Hall (Preah Thineang Dheva Vinnichay Mohai Moha Prasat): A place for religious and royal ceremonies such as weddings and coronations. Contains 3 royal thrones and a gold bust of each king.
Silver Pagoda (Wat Preah Keo): Silver plated floor and marble outside. Contains a near-life-size, Maitreya Buddha encrusted with 9,584 diamonds dressed in royal regalia.

Dechendorf (fränkisch: Dächadoaf) ist ein Gemeindeteil der Gemeinde Rohr im Landkreis Roth (Mittelfranken, Bayern).

Geografie
Durch das Dorf fließt die Volkach, ein rechter Zufluss der Schwabach. 0,5 km westlich liegt der Dechenwald, eine gemeindefreies Gebiet, 0,5 km südlich liegt das Waldgebiet Mitterstück, darin erhebt sich der Ödenberg (). 0,5 km östlich liegt der Odengraben, dahinter das Waldgebiet Baderslohe. 0,5 km nordwestlich erhebt sich der Hinterberg, 0,5 km nördlich liegt das Flurgebiet Sachsenloh. Gemeindeverbindungsstraßen führen nach Prünst (1,4 km nordwestlich), nach Volkersgau (1,8 km östlich) und nach Albersreuth (1,5 km südlich).

Geschichte
Erstmals urkundlich erwähnt wurde der Ort 1162 als "Tahen". Rapoto von Abenberg trug dem Regensburger Bischof Hartwig II. seine Eigengüter u. a. in Dechendorf auf und erhielt sie als Lehen zurück. Benannt wurde er nach einem Dago oder Tacho.

Im Salbuch des Hochstifts Eichstätt von 1300 wurden 2 Güter als Besitz verzeichnet. 1407 waren es bereits 7 Hofstätten. 1671 gab es in Dechendorf 7 Anwesen, wovon 5 Anwesen dem Kastenamt Abenberg unterstanden und 2 Anwesen der Reichsstadt Nürnberg.
1732 gab es laut den Oberamtsbeschreibungen von Johann Georg Vetter in Dechendorf 10 Anwesen, von denen 5 Anwesen dem Kastenamt Abenberg unterstanden, 3 Anwesen der Reichsstadt Nürnberg (St. Klara-Klosteramt: 1, Reiches Almosen: 1, Spital Nürnberg: 1) und 2 Anwesen dem Ansbacher Eigenherrn Beßler.

Gegen Ende des 18. Jahrhunderts gab es in Dechendorf 11 Anwesen und ein Gemeindehirtenhaus. Das Hochgericht übte das brandenburg-ansbachische Oberamt Schwabach aus. Die Dorf- und Gemeindeherrschaft war strittig zwischen dem Kastenamt Schwabach und dem Kastenamt Abenberg. Grundherren waren das Kastenamt Schwabach (2 Halbhöfe, 1 Gütlein mit Gastwirtschaft), das eichstättische Kastenamt Abenberg (1 Ganzhof, 3 Halbhöfe, 1 Köblergut) und die Reichsstadt Nürnberg (Landesalmosenamt: 1 Köblergut; Amt St. Katharina: 1 Ganzhof; Mendel'sche Zwölfbruderstiftung: 1 Halbhof).

Von 1797 bis 1808 unterstand der Ort dem Justiz- und Kammeramt Schwabach. Im Rahmen des Gemeindeedikts wurde 1808 Dechendorf dem Steuerdistrikt Rohr, II. Sektion und der 1818 gebildeten Ruralgemeinde Prünst zugeordnet. Am 1. Mai 1978 wurde Dechendorf im Zuge der Gebietsreform in Bayern nach Rohr eingegliedert.

Einwohnerentwicklung

Religion
Der Ort ist seit der Reformation evangelisch-lutherisch geprägt. Die eichstättischen Untertanen waren nach St. Bartholomäus (Barthelmesaurach) gepfarrt, die ansbachischen und nürnbergischen Untertanen nach St. Emmeram (Rohr). Seit dem frühen 19. Jahrhundert sind alle Einwohner evangelisch-lutherischer Konfession nach St. Emmeram gepfarrt.

The idea was to preserve evidence in case other FBI officials were fired as well.
President Trump claims that he could provide 100 images of him "hugging and kissing" special counsel Robert Mueller and former FBI Director James Comey.
But the FBI was unable to locate a single photo as described by Trump.
BuzzFeed News reporter Jason Leopold filed a Freedom of Information Act request for photos of Trump and Comey "hugging and kissing each other." The bureau responded that no such photos existed within the FBI.
On Tuesday, Comey joked that his wife was "so relieved" to learn that the photos don't exist.

The third day of the Putting Care at the Center conference kicked off in downtown Los Angeles this morning with a keynote address from America Bracho, executive director of Latino Health Access, who propelled a theme of community empowerment. Latino Health Access' "Promotore" model entails employees and volunteers who create relationships together with neighbors to promote healing throughout their communities. Intrinsic to the field of complex care are authentic healing relationships that empower people and encourage them to be active participants in their own healthcare.
The theme of community health was picked up in the Beehive stations and workshops by speakers, panelists, participants, and presenters. Cyrus Batheja of UnitedHealthcare spoke of stories as a vehicle for relationship-building in the Conversations with Experts section of the Beehive. In the Technology Exchange section, Julia Resnick of the American Hospital Association highlighted tools to help the Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA) process engage communities and further population health strategies. In a workshop focused on the relationship between social determinants of health and local direct organizing, Nancy Pope-White of the Camden Coalition of Healthcare Providers' Community Advisory Council emphasized the importance of reaching into communities to develop strong relationships and systems of support.
Putting Care at the Center 2017 is the second annual conference of the National Center for Complex Health and Social Needs and is co-hosted by Kaiser Permanente. The conference's goal is to further the field of complex care, integrating social services with medical and behavioral healthcare in a whole-person approach that puts care at the center. Next year's conference will take place in Chicago during the fall of 2018.

Lisa Marie Presley dies
Lisa Marie Presley attends the handprints ceremony at TCL Chinese theatre in Los Angeles, California, U.S. June 21, 2022. (Reuters)
Lisa Marie Presley, the only child of rock'n'roll legend Elvis, has died aged 54, her mother has said.
"It is with a heavy heart that I must share the devastating news that my beautiful daughter Lisa Marie has left us," Priscilla Presley said.
Lisa Marie, also a singer, was rushed to hospital earlier on Thursday. Media reports say she had cardiac arrest.
She was found unresponsive at her home in Calabasas, California, sources told US outlet TMZ.
"She was the most passionate, strong and loving woman I have ever known," Priscilla Presley said in a statement.
"We ask for privacy as we try to deal with this profound loss,"
Her mother gave no details about the possible cause of death.
Sources close to Lisa Marie Presley told TMZ that she had suffered a "full arrest" before a bystander administered epinephrine – commonly known as adrenaline – to help her regain a pulse.
Born in 1968, Lisa Marie went on to follow in her father's footsteps and forged a career in music. The star released three albums, with her 2003 debut studio album selling hundreds of thousands of copies and receiving generally positive reviews.
The star was also well known for a series of high-profile marriages to pop legend Michael Jackson, actor Nicholas Cage and musicians Danny Keough and Michael Lockwood.
She had three children, including the actress Roxy Keough. Presley's son, Benjamin Keough, killed himself in 2020.
Presley was last seen in public on Tuesday night at the Golden Globes Awards in Beverley Hills.
Accompanied by her mother, the pair were seen breaking down in tears as they watched Austin Butler win the Best Actor prize for his portrayal of her father.
During an emotional speech, the actor thanked the Presley family for their help during the film.
"Thank you guys, thank you for opening your hearts, your memories, your home to me," Butler said. "Lisa Marie, Priscilla, I love you forever." (BBC)

Manchester City and Liverpool are neck and neck at the top of the Premier League table.
Man City and Liverpool are slugging it out at the top of the table and both are playing at an incredible level.
Only two points separate the sides with Liverpool currently sitting top of the pile but that could all change on a Sunday that could be full of drama.
City play first when they face Crystal Palace, who have become City's bogey side as of late, at Selhurst Park.
The Eagles beat City in a thrilling game at the Etihad earlier this season and were a last minute saved penalty away from doing the same at home last season, too.
Liverpool will take to the field following City's result knowing what they must do and they'll be up against Chelsea - the team who cost them the title in 2014 in an unforgeable game.
Whatever happens come May, Neville says we are seeing an 'amazing title race'.
"We are witnessing two brilliant managerial performances, on and off the pitch," Neville said on Sky Sports.
"With Pep Guardiola, we are witnessing an amazing title race, the two teams play the right way, the managers perform the right way, and I have to say, from our point of view, it is brilliant to watch, even though it is painful for me. Both teams are carrying themselves brilliantly.
"For Pep Guardiola, he wants to create history. The way Liverpool have performed this season, this would be a far bigger achievement this year to win the league, than last year.
"As it incredible as what City did last year was, to win it this time, back to back, do it a second time, against a Liverpool side performing as they are would be incredible. For Liverpool to beat a City side performing as they are, would be astonishing.
"Fair play to them both, there's a good month still to come of football and I'm looking forward to Sunday because I do think there could be a twist."


The constant barrage of stimuli on Twitter and Facebook can interrupt sleep patterns, experts warn.
Marie Sullivan says that she knew something "wasn't quite right" during a doctor visit five years ago.
Lassitude. Weariness. Fatigue. Whichever term you prefer, recurring tiredness seems to be the new normal for a growing number of people, regardless of their age or background. Typical causes include illnesses such as anemia, depression, hypothyroidism, diabetes and heart disease.
But increasingly, medical professionals are looking at a new source of the problem: the increasing overuse of technology and its implications on our mental well-being.
Yes, Facebook, Twitter and Instagram can wear you out, said Patricia Bratt, a therapist and psychoanalyst with offices in New York City and Livingston, N.J.
Bratt works with young adults who check their social media constantly and at all hours of the day and night. They all complain about being tired.
In July, a survey conducted by the National Safety Council found that 43 percent of respondents said they do not get enough sleep to think clearly at work, make informed decisions and be productive.
Dr. Maria Vila, a physician at Atlantic Health System's Chambers Center for Well Being in Morristown, N.J., said fatigue is one of the most common complaints among her patients. And, no, she doesn't think "You're getting older" is a particularly helpful diagnosis.
"I hear this all the time," Vila said. "Patients are told, 'You're getting older, you're a woman ... you're menopausal,' and so on. That's not what we do here. I start by looking at the patient's history, their diet, exercise, sleep patterns and stress levels. Then I move on to blood tests. Almost everyone says they were told that their blood tests were 'normal.' But I'm not looking for normal. I'm looking for optimal.
Gary Schulman, a certified fitness trainer who works with clients coping with chronic diseases, including diabetes and arthritis, favors a natural approach to fatigue and warns that people living with stress should not ignore it.
His recovery plan: cardio workouts with some resistance training (beginning at a rate the client can handle), breathing exercises and stress management. As for diet, he urges clients to eliminate refined sugars and processed foods and limit or eliminate wheat products and refined carbs.
Dr. Theophanis A. Pavlou, a pulmonologist focused on sleep medicine at the Sleep Center in Teaneck, N.J., urges anyone with sleep issues to take part in a sleep study. "People can have their doctor order one, as a prescription," he said.
Such tests can determine whether a person has a disease that can be treated directly or faces a more nebulous situation.
Dealing with these stresses, Rueda said, requires time management skills and relearning how to relax.

How many times a (pick one) minute/ day/ month/ year do you hear yourself say 'I can't do that!' Maybe you say it to yourself or maybe out loud, it really doesn't matter.
Why do you say that? Is it honestly something that you have tried your best to do, and you weren't successful? Or does it actually mean something else?
Think of a time recently that you said that to yourself.
Go ahead! Imagine yourself in the situation.
What you really meant was _____________.
If what you meant was "I don't WANT to do that" than great! Don't! Just be clear with yourself.
If what you meant was "I am not COMFORTABLE with that" (but I want to try it) maybe you could figure out a way to try whatever it is with help or training so you CAN get comfortable with it!
If what you meant was "I don't have the CONFIDENCE to TRY" then why don't you ask yourself why?
Everyone master was once a beginner that had the same doubts about trying something new.
They too took things step by step and took pleasure in the learning that they acquired.
Every person on the planet is fantastic at learning new things- we all had to learn a lot in order to grow up!

This Melton farm has launched an ice cream café with a great children's play area
It could be ideal for a trip out with the children
Becky JonesWhat's On Writer
If you're looking for somewhere new to take the children, then a dairy farm near Melton could be ideal.
Brickfield Farm, in Leesthorpe, is now home to The Dairy Barn Café, serving a new brand of luxury ice cream, made on-site.
It has been launched by dairy farm owners Peter and Vanessa Darlington.
Visitors to the café can enjoy the newly-created Ferneleys ice cream, made on-site using milk from the farm's herd of predominantly Friesian cows.
There's even a viewing window where you can watch the ice cream being made.
You can expect to find between 16 to 18 flavours available in the cafe, with popular choices including raspberry ripple, salted caramel and mint chocolate.
There's also more exotic flavours such as mango cheesecake, nutty-ella and lemon meringue.
Sorbets are also available, with flavours including dark chocolate or mango.
Children's play area at the cafe (Image: www.facebook.com/FerneleysIceCream/)
As well as enjoying the freshly made ice cream, children also have plenty of room to run around. There's a sports field, toddlers play area, sand pit and climbing frame - all close to the café.
There's a dedicated bicycle park near to the patio seating, and the cafe is close to route 64 on the national cycle way.
Dogs are welcome in the dog friendly areas including the large patio at the front of the cafe, and water is provided.
Around 16 to 18 flavours are available in the cafe
The 'Ferneleys' name is inspired by a bull owned by the family in the 1990s, who fathered a number of the cows in the herd.
The café uses as few additives as possible to make the ice cream and sorbet, and makes use of fresh fruits grown locally.
Local ingredients are used across the café's menu - which features breakfasts, waffles and crêpes, and light lunches.
The 200 acre Brickfield Farm has been home to members of the Darlington family since the 1930s, when they moved there with just three cows and not a great deal of experience of dairy farming.
Peter and Vanessa Darlington with their sons
They now produce their own milk from their herd of mainly Friesian cows.
The idea for the ice cream café came about after a friend of the family used some of the Darlington's milk to make ice cream with at home. The resulting ice cream tasted so good that it inspired the Darlingtons to make their own.
Construction of the wood-frame café began last year, and it opened in March.
You'll find The Dairy Barn Café at Brickfield Farm, Whissendine Rd, Leesthorpe, near Melton Mowbray.
Opening hours are 9.30am until 5pm Tuesday to Saturday, 10am until 5pm Sunday.

A recently released Egyptian action film manages an unusual feat: It is vehemently anti-Zionist without being crudely anti-Semitic.
Welad El-Am (Cousins) is the latest of a long line of Egyptian films and soap operas to reimagine the country's deeply unpopular relationship with the Jewish state. The Israel of Welad El-Am is, unsurprisingly, a despised enemy—racist, violent toward the Palestinians, and hostile to Egypt, the neighbor with whom it has technically made peace. Yet the Israel portrayed is a complicated society made up of flawed Palestinians and a diversity of Jewish characters. The film is also one of the first Egyptian movies to have been written partially in Hebrew.
Director Sherif Arafa and writer Amr Samir Atef, perhaps unwittingly, employ a number of anti-Zionist tropes derived from old anti-Semitic canards, but they do not argue that Israel's problem is that it's Jewish. Their Israel remains an enemy, but largely because it itself continues to think that it's one.
The story revolves around Daniel, a Mossad agent of Egyptian-Jewish descent who had been undercover in Egypt for seven years. Recalled to Tel Aviv, he takes his Egyptian Muslim wife and their two children out for a boat ride near the Suez Canal, where a team of Israeli agents surrounds their skiff and seizes the family. Selwa, his wife, panics upon waking up in Tel Aviv, and though Daniel professes his love for her she refuses to stay in Israel. Egyptian intelligence quickly sends Mustapha, a Hebrew-speaking agent, after her. The ending is the expected one—Mustapha rescues the family and kills Daniel (in particularly gruesome fashion).
The film has been a mass market hit, winning six Egyptian "Oscars" and earning nearly $2.6 million in its first two weeks, the highest box-office take of any of the Egyptian films released during last winter's Eid Al-Adha holiday season. The film stayed in Cairo theaters for more than six months and made its way to cinemas in other Arab cities, including Beirut.
Mansour Abd Al-Wahab, a Hebrew professor at Cairo's Ain Shams University, served as a consultant on matters Jewish and Israeli, but he says he told the director that his working on the film was contingent upon its not misrepresenting Judaism or Israeli culture.
"I refused 100 percent to talk about the Jews in stereotypes and the Israelis in stereotypes," he said. He ended up spending two months helping the film's Egyptian stars memorize their Hebrew lines and pushing them to improve their accents by watching Israeli TV. He also advised the screenwriter on scenes that discuss Mizrahi immigration and kashrut and helped suggest how best to decorate a Tel Aviv apartment.
According to a local newspaper's account of a special showing of the film, the writer drew criticism from the audience because he named the film "Cousins" and created sympathetic Israeli characters. Although Egypt and Israel maintain diplomatic ties, Egyptian cultural and professional unions boycott the Jewish state. Did he, they asked the writer, support normalizing relations?
Of course not, the writer answered. And even though we're cousins, we can still hate them.
Needless to say, the film does not come close to fulfilling the professor's demand for a movie free of negative stereotypes. The few Israeli journalists who reviewed the film were not impressed. Mustapha, seeing a Tel Aviv street fall silent during the air siren on Holocaust Remembrance Day, asks a nearby Israeli for an explanation. Mustapha reacts incredulously. "Don't they think how they're doing the same thing to the Palestinians as was done to them?" As the movie's closing action sequences pick up, the humanity of the Israeli characters falls away fast. Daniel is shown torturing Mustapha and shooting dead an unarmed female Palestinian prisoner.
The Palestinians themselves do not play faultless victims. A scene set in the West Bank shows Israel jets strafing a village in order to clear land for the security wall—but Palestinian workers build the wall, abandoning their nation for a quick buck. Mustapha, in Tel Aviv, realizes a Palestinian woman he met plans to blow herself up in a nightclub; he chases after her and prevents the attack. She should get revenge by succeeding in life, he tells her, not by killing herself.
Offscreen, Egypt's leaders and strategists have proven incapable of overpowering Israel or reconciling fighting Palestinian factions. But in the cinema, viewers come away with a "positive spirit" of empowerment, as the director said during an appearance on a local talk show. The film not only vicariously avenges Egypt's military defeats, it also suggests that Egypt could regain the mantel of regional political leadership many Egyptians think they ceded, ultimately without recompense, by signing the Camp David Accords. "You gave up on us!" shouts one of the Palestinian laborers Mustapha encounters. Mustapha's reply comes in the film's final line. "We will return, but not now," he says as he begins his journey back to Egypt with Selwa and her children.
The director remarked that he began Welad El-Am in part because he wanted a project that would engender such a can-do spirit. "The cinema is the one thing that can do that now," he said on the local talk show. By the end, the film's aggression and bloody violence serve to exorcise not just Egyptians' frustrations with Israeli policy but also their frustrations with their own.
Sarah Mishkin is a journalist based in Cairo.
To be honest, it doesn't sound any worse than a lot of the anti-Soviet (i.e., anti-Russian) action movies I grew up on in the 80s. Once the Cold War ended, the animus went away.
G-D willing, when we have a peacful solution to the situation, we can look at movies like this as an odd cultural relic the way "Red Dawn" and such films look to us now.
The Egyptians receive billions of dollars in aid every year from the U.S. as a result of the Camp David accords. It's amazing that they are bitching about it.
actually, the aid is one of the reasons why they are bitching. All the Arab levantine countries have a deep sense of humiliation based on their economic, military and cultural weakness. Accepting the aid probably makes them feel worse about themselves.
Through creativity and understanding we will create a world without barriers. The yet to be fulfilled promise of the Camp David Accords.
Cultural insensitivity abounds, as questioner so aptly puts it. I suppose that speaking Hebrew with the appropriate accent counts as progress, but this is as small an increment as I can imagine. Interesting review of a movie I know will never make it to the USofA's desert southwest.
What next? Kill a few million German Christians to be like Hitler?
What, this is some kind of advance because they didn't depict Israelis drinking the blood of Egyptian children? This only goes to show that what most Egyptians feel for Israel, and Jews, after thirty years of peace (and billions of dollars in American aid) is nothing but blind hate. What a sad, sick world this is.
That they eat babies and drink blood?
What do you expect of a nation that ethnically cleansed itself of Jews, including my sister in law's father's family which now lives in Israel.
And what do they think of the copts whome they murder every day?
Wait, no seriously, Sarah–would you explain? Arafa's argument is that "Israel remains an enemy, but largely because it itself continues to think that it's one." It's seems to me, based on the film you describe, the problem is just as much the reverse.
Would you feel comfortable asking this question of Arafa or Al-Wahab? And what do you think they would say?
And plot lines aside, why couldn't Daniel and Selwa stay together in Israel? I'd be really curious to hear how the director and consultant would answer. I'm asking this question in all honesty. So Sarah, help me out here.
It seems to me that Israel's decision not to be overpowered by Egypt would constitute a wise "policy"–with all due respect to the frustrations of Egyptians.
"can-do spirit" + "hate" = ?
The amount of hypocrisy in Egypt is astounding.
It's amazing how no one brings up Egypt's relations with their Palestinian "brothers". From 1948-1967 Egypt occupied Gaza which was supposed to be part of the Palestinian state. During that time the strip was under military rule with a daily curfew, and travel to Egypt proper nearly impossible. Not much has changed today. Egypt is still blockading Gaza.
The treatment of Egyptian's Jews is hardly mentioned either. The executions, the expropriations the expulsions, why aren't these ever mentioned in the Egyptian media.
This film sounds like the typical anti-semitic nonsense, and liberal excuses for that anti-semtism, that has been coming out of the Egyptian media and press since the Camp David Accords and liberal American media repsectively. Because they had an advisor about Jewish culture who decided what is or is not anti-semitic does not mean that it wasn't anti-semtic.(Remember Eichmann had a degree in Judaic studies and was fluent in hebrew too, because he made sure to save Torahs and menorahs does that mean the murder of 6 million is not anti-semtic) In fact the described scene deriding Holocaust Remembrance Day shows the anti-semitic canard that the Jews are now the modern day Nazis. Showing Israel as anything but a coplex democratic society that it is, is progpaganda and because the advisor wore a shtreimel does not mean it is not anti-semitic. The entire idea that they turn Israel into an illegal state is anti-semitic.
I think the important missing ingredient in this show–at least from Mishkin's description–is self-criticism. I got the same sense when I read this piece http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=112940559 about a Palestinian satire show. I don't mean that there's no self-criticism at all, but it's always basically of the same things: Arab society x (or its politicians) aren't savvy enough or strong enough, or ethical enough in the face of Israel's and the West's scheming and crimes. There is _never_ self-criticism either of anti-Semitism, or of terrorism (it's always at least understandable, if it's not justified "freedom fighting.") ..Between these two shows and, e.g., the Israeli show Arab Labor http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arab_Labor there's a night and day difference, and there's a kind of bigotry of low expectations in judging these shows by different standards.

My favorite version of the Paganoonoo Cindy Blouse pattern so far is this dark grey and white beauty. I scour the thrift stores for large and/or broad stripes and when I spotted this one I knew it was a winner. It's a poly/cotton blend, as is the white one. Both have a nice hand yet do not hold on to wrinkles. I used some of what I learned in my fashion class, Principles of Design, to create the shape in white. It mimics a mock hourglass silhouette echoing bust, waist, hips on the left side of the blouse. It's impossible to look at the blouse without focusing on this shape. Besides creating a pleasing design, it also breaks up the width the blouse, giving the impression of slimness. Happy Thrifting and Happy Upcycling!
The shirt looks really sharp. Love it.
P.S. Don't forget to add titles to your posts. Thanks!
