Africa Energy Corp. holds a 49% interest in Main Street and Africa Oil holds an approximately 34.6% interest in Africa Energy Corp.
Africa Oil CEO Keith Hill commented, "We are very pleased to have significant investments in two companies that have invested in Main Street, which has a material interest in the upcoming Brulpadda well. We believe the Brulpadda well to be one of the top exploration wells to be drilled in the world in 2019. The well will be operated by TOTAL, which gives us confidence that not only can the well can be drilled safely and effectively, but that the necessary technical and financial resources will be in place to move forward on any resulting discovery.".

My essays have appeared in The Boston Globe, The Walrus, The Vancouver Courier, The MacGuffin, and The Jabberwock Review, among other publications, and been nominated for a Pushcart Prize. For four years (2006 – 2010) I wrote twice-weekly essays, book reviews, and blog entries related to the travel and travel writing world for the award-winning magazine Perceptive Travel, and I currently co-write the blog Pooplosophy: Mothers with Brains.
I now live in New York's Hudson Valley with my husband, son, daughter, four cats, and itinerant goats, and am currently working on To the Bone, the first of a series of mystery novels featuring travel writer Lee Hansen and her half-sister, mathematician Nikki Towner.
Same answer most writers give: I write because I have to. Can't help it. I have tried to quit, contemplated giving up after slews of rejections, but each time I know, more certainly than I did before, that I would never stop writing, even if I were never to be published again.
Inspiration comes most easily with travel, a strong sense of place, wherever it happens to be. I love to write while in transit.
Mostly, I love a good story, well told. The authors above have written books that I read over and over. I want to be grabbed by a book, blown away by the writing, but also entertained, taken on an adventure, told something that's true.
Thanks for reading "How I learned what to pray for," Nia...don't suppose you have a better title idea, do you? I stink at titles.
Post a (recent) story, Nia!
I haven't read that yet, John. Thanks for the recommendation! I've read 2 novels, and had an elongated driveway moment listening to one of his stories ("Little Green Monster"?) on Selected Shorts. Spellbinding.
I am a huge Murakami fan. Ever read "South of the Border"? I highly recommend it. One of my favorite stories is "Lederhosen"
Thanks Darryl, good to be here!
I'm glad you're with us.
Thanks Robert! The stories here are just fabulous, can't wait to read more.
Welcome to Fictionaut, Antonia! Jump right in...and enjoy.
Thanks for the invite, Jane! Good to be here.
Welcome, Antonia! Your concept for the novel series sounds really interesting. I share your connection to sense of place.

Watchmen Series Premiere Synopsis Teases Season-Long Mystery
By Jenna Anderson - October 10, 2019 06:53 pm EDT
We're a little over a week out from the premiere of HBO's Watchmen television series, which is set to recontextualize the iconic DC Comics graphic novel in a whole new way. While a lot of details surrounding the upcoming adaptation have been kept under wraps, a new official synopsis hints at what fans can expect. HBO released the first plot details surrounding the show's highly-anticipated series premiere, which is titled "It's Summer and We're Running Out of Ice". You can check it out below.
"In an alternate America where police conceal their identities behind masks to protect themselves from a terrorist organization, Detective Angela Abar (Regina King) investigates the attempted murder of a fellow officer under the guidance of her friend and Chief, Judd Crawford (Don Johnson). Meanwhile, the Lord of a Country Estate (Jeremy Irons) receives an anniversary gift from his loyal servants. Written by Damon Lindelof; directed by Nicole Kassell."
Watchmen is set to serve as a sequel of sorts to Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons' original DC Comics storyline, while also expanding the source material into new territory.
"Damon Lindeloff has a very specific approach to that material," production designer Mark Worthington told ComicBook.com last month. "I can't tell you what that approach is. What I can say is we are guided more by that than anything else. Damon is a geek, too. He was obsessed with the Watchmen series as a kid. I think we all were. That was a watershed graphic novel for the whole form, as we all know. You're inspired by all of it. There it is. There's the original object and it's what you get excited about, passionate about it. I think Damon's take will be different, is different. It inherently has the DNA of the original Watchmen with a very specific take that he will put on it."
"It's yes and. Yes, of course, we're inspired by the original." Worthington continued. "Yes, of course, we're respectful of what that meant and what it is as an object. But then Damon has his own way of extending that and taking it to a new place because he's not redoing it, he's creating something that's other than that. I don't know. We'll see how people respond. I think people are going to like it."
The series will also star Tim Blake Nelson as Looking Glass, Lous Gossett Jr. as Old Man, Adelaide Clemens as Pirate Jenny, Andrew Howard as Red Scare, Jean Smart as Agent Blake, and Hong Chau as Lady Trieu.
Watchmen will premiere on Sunday, October 20th at 9/8c on HBO.

"Very vintage din yung trip ko," Jericho Rosales was how Jericho Rosales described his personal style during his Kapamilya Chat session on March 2.
Favoring casual looks, Jericho's go-to outfit consists of a T-shirt, black jeans, and boots or sneakers. In addition, he notes that he does follow gentleman sites for inspiration when it comes to vintage styles.
Being a lover of vintage stuff, Jericho says that his most memorable Christmas gift from wife Kim Jones was a vintage bicycle that has a '50s to '60s vibe to it. He said that the bicycle was an unexpected gift from Kim.
In terms of closet size, Jericho said that he keeps his to a minimum, focusing on staple pieces such as boots, motorcycle jackets, a few pairs of shoes ranging from boots to sneakers and dress shoes, and other gentleman accessories such as neckties, bowties, and belts.
Belts are very important for Jericho, such that he cannot work properly without wearing one. "Kapag shooting hindi ako mapakali, nanghihiram ako ng belt sa art dept, as in kailangan ko ng belt," he quips.
Recently, Jericho acquired himself a vintage E28 BMW 5-Series sedan as part of his new "Project", aside from doing tapings for "Bridges of Love".

UKRAINE'S ORANGE BLUES - PUTIN'S MISGUIDED MOVE IN SYRIA
WORLD AFFAIRS. Russia's incompetent bully of a leader, Vladimir Putin, has just committed his latest blunder. He's decided to prop up the dying Assad regime with weapons and soldiers. Good luck! The USSR's fiasco in Afghanistan and America's in Iraq have clearly failed to deter the Kremlin's serial bumbler from committing his latest strategic mistake.
The mortar shell that struck Russia's embassy compound in Damascus on September 20th is a foretaste of things to come. As Russian troops intervene in greater numbers—as they surely will in order to prop up a doomed regime—Russian casualties will mount. Eventually, ISIS will engage in its usual barbarism and beheaded Russian soldiers will appear on television. At that point, Western commentators, who've mostly interpreted Putin's intervention as a devilishly clever move, will start saying that Russia stumbled into a conflict it cannot win.
Putin watchers shouldn't be surprised by the Russian dictator's latest blunder.
His mistakes started with his unwillingness to use the enormous windfall from rising energy prices to modernize the Russian economy. Instead of building an open society, Putin constructed a "fascistoid" political system and kept Russia as a petro-state. That Russia's economy is now contracting as a result of falling energy prices is Putin's fault. So is the fact that educated professionals and money are leaving the country in droves.
Putin stupidly supported Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych in 2004, thereby accelerating that country's drift toward the West. Even more stupidly, he opposed Ukraine's Association Agreement with the European Union in late 2013, thereby sparking the Euromaidan Revolution that led to Yanukovych's flight. Putin then invaded the Crimea and the Donbas—provinces that he already controlled—thereby turning Ukraine against Russia, destroying the occupied regions' economies, and saddling Russia with the bill. All this, while sanctions accelerated Russia's economic decline, smothered foreign investment, and increased capital flight.
Meanwhile, Russia's violation of the postwar security order in Europe galvanized a demoralized NATO, turned the United States and Europe against Russia, led to traditionally Russophile Germany's adoption of an anti-Russian stance, forced Putin to grovel before an indifferent China, and transformed Russia into a rogue state whose closest ally now appears to be mighty North Korea.
Russians used to joke that Mikhail Gorbachev's perestroika was a CIA plot to destroy the Soviet Union. I'm beginning to think Vlad Putin is a sleeper agent of the Company. A few more years of his bumbling, and the Russian state may become history.
The bottom line is that Russia's security and strength are significantly worse off today than they were two years ago. And Putin, whom Russians adore, is to blame.
To top it off, Putin has decided to jump from the frying pan into the fire by intervening in Syria.
Not just with weapons, but with actual troops. The Assad regime is either doomed, or it can be saved only with massive outside intervention. Wisely, neither the West nor the Arab states want to send in troops. Russia will have to, increasingly. Will Russia be able to defeat ISIS? Probably not. Even if it does, the price it'll pay in lives and money will be high. You'd think that Putin might have learned from the USSR's misadventure in Afghanistan and America's in Iraq. Evidently not—which is exactly what you'd expect from a paranoid, narcissistic, solipsistic fascist leader who doesn't understand that a declining economy is a brake on foreign interventions.
Meanwhile, ISIS isn't Putin's only problem. The National Coalition of Syrian Revolution and Opposition Forces condemned Russia on September 12th:
With this aggressive move, Russia has moved from a stage of supporting a criminal regime that carries out genocide in our country to a stage of direct military intervention alongside a crumbling illegitimate regime. The direct Russian military intervention places the Russian leadership in a position of hostility towards the Syrian people, and makes its forces on Syrian soil occupation forces... We present these facts to the international community, to the UN, to the Arab League, and especially to the Russian people—we do not wish upon them in Syria a repeat of their experience in Afghanistan—because Syrians will not remain silent over the occupation of their land and the spilling of their sons' blood.
Putin's Syrian idiocy makes Ukraine the big winner. Having effectively abandoned his proxies in the Donbas, Putin has made a frozen conflict there almost inevitable. The terrorists, thugs, and mercenaries misruling the Russian-occupied Donbas enclave won't agree to reintegrate into Ukraine on Kyiv's terms, and Kyiv can't agree to reintegrate them on theirs. The resulting stalemate will keep the Donbas hellhole out of Ukraine, force Russia to keep paying millions to sustain it, and free Ukraine to focus on internal reforms and external Westernization.
Russians are the big losers. They will have to pay with their lives for Putin's megalomania and their own moral blindness.
Also in the running are Western realist scholars.
They've been arguing that Russia attacked Ukraine because of some mythical NATO plot to incorporate it. Wrong: NATO was a paper tiger and, while Kyiv did not seriously pursue Ukraine's membership until after Russia invaded, NATO has remained skittish about the prospect even today.
They've also been arguing that Ukraine is an existential interest of Russia, and that Moscow would defend it to the finish. Wrong again: No rational leader abandons an existential interest to engage in crazy overseas adventures.
Finally, they've been arguing that Putin is a rational ruler who wants to maximize Russia's power and security. Wrong, wrong, wrong: Putin is rational only if rationality is tantamount to paranoia, hyper-nationalism, imperialism, and supremacism.

Verizon to pay $7.4M in privacy investigation
Verizon will pay $7.4 million to settle with the Federal Communications Commission over allegations that it used customers' personal information for marketing purposes
The FCC found that Verizon Communications Inc. failed to notify about 2 million new customers of their privacy rights on first invoices or welcome letters for several years beginning in 2006. That includes how to opt out from having personal information used in marketing campaigns. Verizon itself didn't discover the problem until 2012, and after that it failed to notify the FCC for about four months, until January 2013.
In addition to paying $7.4 million Verizon will notify customers of their opt-out rights on every bill for the next three years.
"In today's increasingly connected world, it is critical that every phone company honor its duty to inform customers of their privacy choices and then to respect those choices," said Travis LeBlanc, acting chief of the FCC's Enforcement Bureau.
The FCC said the fee, being paid to the U.S. Treasury, is the largest such payment in FCC history for settling an investigation related solely to the privacy of telephone customers' personal information.

Home > Companies & Works > Scottish Oil Works > Craigie oil works
Redwood notes that Craigie Oil Works, Kilmarnock, operated between 1864 and 1876.
No other reference to this works has yet been found. The parish of Craigie lies about five miles south of Kilmarnock, but with little coal mining in the vicinity, it seems an unlikely site for an oil works. No mention is made of oil manufacture in Craigie parish in either the 1868 or the 1872 Post Office Directory for Kilmarnock.
The 1868 (but not the 1872) directory contains one reference to coal mining in the parish: - COALMASTERS - Galloway, Lindsay & Company Adamhill Colliery. Perry's Bankrupt Gazette for February 6th 1866 lists the dissolution of the partnership between Thomas R. Lindsay, R.B. Lindsay, and William Galloway, coalmasters &c. Adamhill-colliery, KIlmarnock, due to debts by Galloway.
The Topographical Dictionary of Scotland (1846) in the entry for Tarbolton parish notes ".....cannel coal can be obtained at Adamhill, two miles from the village" (of Tarbolton). This raises the prospect that cannel coal found in this areas may have been used for oil production.
Adamhill lies a mile and quarter south of the village of Craigie, within Craigie parish, but lying close to the boundary with Tarbolton parish (marked in green). First edition OS maps (c.1857) show three areas where coal may have been mined in the vicinity of Adamhill:
Site One is a tile works and clay pit, active when surveyed,
Site Two, shows two disused shafts marked as "old coal pits"
Site Three, close to "Scotland Bridge", just inside Tarbolton parish, is marked "coal pit" and appears active when surveyed
It seems unlikely that any of these were site of the "Adamhill Colliery" listed in the 1868 directory, however later OS maps provide no indication of subsequent coal working in this area.
The place name "Craigie" occurs in other parts of Scotland and it remains possible that Redwood has incorrectly identified the location of the works.
AYRSHIRE MINERAL FIELD TO BE LET. The Proprietor of the Estate of Craigie is prepared to receive OFFERS for a TRIAL LEASE of the MINERALS in the ESTATE. It is known that there is a large extent of common coal in the estate and it is believed that Gas Coal and Ironstone will also be found. Craigie is about four miles South from Kilmarnock-. The Glasgow and South Western Railway is within two to three miles of the Estate. Mr John Russell, Craigie Home Farm, near Ayr will give information that may be desired regarding the boundaries of the estate.

\section{Introduction}
Non-equilibrium phenomena are ubiquitous. In particular, it is now possible to control some systems out of equilibrium in the laboratory due to
various experimental breakthroughs in atomic physics, quantum optics and nanoscience. With this, a wealth of effort has been made towards the theoretical understanding of non-equilibrium physics. But nevertheless some non-equilibrium experiments are conducted with strongly coupled systems, which includes quark
gluon plasma produced in RHIC and LHC experiments and cold atomic gases prepared in quantum quenches. Faced up with the non-equilibrium physics for the strongly coupled systems, the available approaches are limited, where the string inspired AdS/CFT correspondence stands out as an unconventional but suitable tool. As sort of strong weak
duality, AdS/CFT correspondence maps the problem of strongly coupled systems to a much easier bulk dynamics with one extra dimension, where the static black hole in the bulk is dual to the boundary
system in equilibrium with finite temperature, and the small perturbation on top of the black hole drives the boundary system to
a near-equilibrium state. Since its advent, such a paradigm has provided us with various remarkable insights into our understanding of universal equilibrium and its linear response
behaviors of strongly coupled systems. However, compared with this, much less is known about the universal far-from-equilibrium
behaviors of strongly coupled systems because the corresponding holographic bulk is supposed to be a highly dynamical spacetime involving black hole formation or black hole merger, where the involved numerical techniques are also non-trivial due to the non-linearity of the bulk differential equation.

One way out is to play with some toy models, which may be too simple to model the realistic systems but subject to analytic control
such as to provide us with some insights into the universal aspects of far-from-equilibrium physics for strongly coupled systems\cite{Garfinkle84, Garfnkle1202, Allais1201, Das343, Steineder, Wu1210, Gao, Li}. Among
others, very recently the authors in \cite{Balasubramanian1} as well as \cite{Balasubramanian2} have used a neutral AdS-Vaidya black hole
as the bulk geometry to probe the scale-dependence of holographic thermalization following a quench via calculations of two-point
correlation functions, Wilson loops, and entanglement entropy, which can further be evaluated in the saddle point approximation in terms
of geodesics, minimal surfaces, and minimal volume individually. It is found that the holographic thermalization always proceeds in a
top-down pattern, namely the UV modes thermalize, followed by the IR modes. They also find that there is a slight delay in the onset of thermalization and the entanglement entropy thermalizes slowest, which sets a timescale for equilibration.  Later, such an investigation is generalized to the bulk
geometry given by a charged AdS-Vaidya black hole to see how the chemical potential affects the holographic thermalization, as by
holography the charged black hole corresponds to the boundary system with a finite chemical potential\cite{GS,CK}.  Recently there are more and more extensions \cite{Baron, Baron1212, Arefeva, Hubeny, Balasubramanianeyal6066, Arefeva6041} to study holographic thermalization on the basis of the work in   \cite{Balasubramanian1, Balasubramanian2}.

The purpose of this paper is to investigate how the holographic thermalization behaves in Gauss-Bonnet gravity. By holography, Gauss-Bonnet gravity corresponds to $\frac{1}{N}$ or $\frac{1}{\lambda}$ correction to the boundary field theory, depending on whether the origin of Gauss-Bonnet term comes from stringy or quantum effect.  In light of this reason,  there have been many works
to study the strong coupling system  of
the dual conformal field theory in the Gauss-Bonnet gravity to explore
the
effects of  Gauss-Bonnet coefficient on the observables \cite{Gregory010, Pan, cai066027, Wu106, Hu123, 0806.1334}.
 As to holographic thermalization in Gauss-Bonnet gravity, we will take the
two-point function and expectation value of Wilson loops as thermalization probes to study the
thermalization behavior. According to  the AdS/CFT correspondence, this process equals to probe the evolution of a shell of
 dust that interpolates between a pure AdS and a Gauss-Bonnet AdS black brane by making use of the
   renormalized geodesic lengths and minimal  area surfaces.
 Concretely we first study the motion profile of the geodesic and minimal area, and then the  renormalized geodesic length and minimal  area surface
 in the  Gauss-Bonnet  Vaidya AdS black brane, the result shows that  larger the Gauss-Bonnet coefficient is,  easier the dual boundary system
 thermalizes.  We also study the thermalization time for both the thermalization probes at different boundary separation, and the result
 shows that the  UV modes thermalize first, which is the same as the situation occurs in the Einstein gravity. In addition, we find that
  there is an  overlapped region for both the thermalization probes at a fixed boundary separation,  where the Gauss-Bonnet coefficient has little effect on the  renormalized geodesic length and minimal  area surface. We also analyze the reason that leads to this phenomenon.

The remainder of this paper is structured as follows. In the next section, we shall provide a brief review of Vaidya AdS black brane in Gauss-Bonnet gravity. Then
the holographic setup for non-local observables will be explicitly constructed in Section 3. Resorting to numerical calculation, we
shall perform a systematic analysis of how the Gauss-Bonnet coefficient affects the thermalization time in Section 4. We end
up with some discussions in the last section.

\section{Vaidya AdS black branes in Gauss-Bonnet gravity}
Start from the
action of the $D(D \geq 5)$ dimensional Gauss-Bonnet gravity with a negative
cosmological constant
\begin{equation}
\label{action} I=\frac{1}{16 \pi G}\int_\mathcal{M}d^Dx
\sqrt{-g} \left(R-2 \Lambda+\alpha L_{GB} \right),
\end{equation}
where $G$ is the D-dimensional gravitational constant, $R$ is the Ricci scalar, $\Lambda$ is the negative cosmological constant, and $\alpha$
is the Gauss-Bonnet coefficient with the Gauss-Bonnet term $L_{GB}$
given by
\begin{equation}
\label{LGB} L_{GB} =R^2-4R_{\mu \nu}R^{\mu \nu}+R_{\mu \nu \sigma
\tau}R^{\mu \nu \sigma \tau}.
\end{equation}
Through the variation of the action (\ref{action}) with respect to
the bulk metric, one can obtain the equation of motion for Gauss-Bonnet
gravity, i.e.,
\begin{equation}
R_{\mu \nu } -\frac{1}{2}Rg_{\mu \nu}+\Lambda g_{\mu \nu
}+\alpha H_{\mu \nu}=0,
\end{equation}
where
\begin{equation}
H_{\mu \nu}=2(R_{\mu \sigma \kappa \tau }R_{\nu }^{\phantom{\nu}
\sigma \kappa \tau }-2R_{\mu \rho \nu \sigma }R^{\rho \sigma
}-2R_{\mu
\sigma }R_{\phantom{\sigma}\nu }^{\sigma }+RR_{\mu \nu })-\frac{1}{2}
L_{GB}g_{\mu \nu }.
\end{equation}
Accordingly the black brane solution can be obtained as \cite{Cai}
\begin{equation}
ds^{2}=-H(r)dt^{2}+H^{-1}(r)dr^{2}+\frac{r^{2}}{\ell^{2}}d\mathbf{x}^{2},
\end{equation}
where
\begin{equation}\label{blackening}
H(r)=\frac{r^{2}}{2\tilde{\alpha}}\left[1-\sqrt{1-\frac{4\tilde{\alpha}}{\ell^{2}}\left(1-\frac{M
\ell^{2}}{r^{D-1}}\right)}\right],
\end{equation}
with $M$ the mass parameter, $\tilde{\alpha}=(D-3)(D-4)\alpha$ and
$\ell^2 = - \frac{(D-1) (D-2)}{2\Lambda}$. By the regularity of conic singularity in the Euclidean sector, the Hawking temperature, which is also the temperature of the dual conformal field theory,
 is given by
\begin{equation}\label{temperature}
T=\frac{\partial_rH(r)}{4\pi}|_{r_h}=\frac{D-1}{4\pi}M^\frac{1}{D-1}\ell^\frac{4-2D}{D-1},
\end{equation}
where the horizon $r_h=(M\ell^2)^\frac{1}{D-1}$. On the other hand,
As $r$  approaches to infinity, one can see the above black brane metric changes into
\begin{equation}
ds^2\rightarrow \frac{r^2}{\ell^2_{eff}}(-dt^2+d\mathbf{\tilde{x}}^2)+\frac{\ell^2_{eff}}{r^2}dr^2,
\end{equation}
where
\begin{equation}
\mathbf{\tilde{x}}=\frac{\ell_{eff}}{\ell}\mathbf{x},
\end{equation}
and
\begin{equation}
\ell^2_{eff}=\frac{2\tilde{\alpha}}{1-\sqrt{1-\frac{4\tilde{\alpha}}{\ell^{2}}}}.
\end{equation}
Thus this black brane solution is asymptotically AdS with AdS radius $\ell_{eff}$.

From Eq.(\ref{blackening}), one can see  that there is an upper bound for the
Gauss-Bonnet coefficient, namely $\tilde{\alpha}\leq \ell^2/4$. This is known as the
Chern-Simons limit. Besides there also exists a constraint
$-\frac{(3D-1)(D-3)}{4(D+1)^{2}}\ell^2\leq\tilde{\alpha}\leq\frac{(D-3)(D-4)(D^2-3D+8)}{4(D^2-5D+10)^2}\ell^2$ by demanding the
causality of dual field theory on the boundary\cite{0911.3160, 0912.1944, Buchel}.

To get a Vaidya type evolving black brane, we would like first to make the coordinate
transformation $z=\frac{\ell^2}{r}$, with which the above black brane metric can be cast into
\begin{equation}
ds^{2}=\frac{\ell^2}{z^2}[-H(z)dt^{2}+H^{-1}(z)dz^{2}+d\textbf{x}^2],
\end{equation}
where
\begin{equation}
H(z)=\frac{\ell^2}{2\tilde{\alpha}}\left[1-\sqrt{1-\frac{4\tilde{\alpha}}{\ell^2}\left(1-M
z^{D-1}\ell^{4-2D}\right)}\right].
\end{equation}
 Then by introducing the
Eddington-Finkelstein coordinate system, namely
\begin{equation}
dv=dt-\frac{1}{H(z)}dz,
\end{equation}
one can obtain
\begin{equation}
ds^2=\frac{\ell^2}{z^2} \left[ - H(z) d{v}^2 - 2 dz\ dv +
d\textbf{x}^2 \right] .
\end{equation}
Now the Gauss-Bonnet Vaidya AdS  black brane\footnote{This solution is also obtained in \cite{Dominguez73}
by adding the action in (\ref{action}) with a matter field $S_{matter}$. } can be obtained by
freeing the mass parameter as an arbitrary function of $v$\cite{Kobayashi,Maeda}. As one can show,
such a metric is sourced by the null dust with the energy momentum tensor as
\begin{equation}
T_{\mu\nu}\propto(D-2)z^{D-2}\frac{dM(v)}{dv}\delta_{\mu v}\delta_{\nu v}.
\end{equation}
According to the AdS/CFT correspondence, the rapid injection of energy followed by the thermalization process on the boundary corresponds to the collapse of a black
brane in the AdS space.
So to describe the
thermalization process holographically, one should choose the mass
as the function of time $v$ so that in the limit $v\rightarrow
-\infty$, the background  corresponds to a pure AdS space while in
the limit $v\rightarrow \infty$,
 it corresponds to a Gauss-Bonnet AdS black brane, which can be definitely  achieved by setting
the mass parameter $M(v)=M\theta({v})$ with $\theta({v})$ the step function.
But for the convenience of later numerical calculations, $M(v)$ is usually
chosen as a smooth function
\begin{equation}
M(v) = \frac{M}{2} \left( 1 + \tanh \frac{v}{v_0} \right),
\end{equation}
where $v_0$ represents a finite shell thickness.

For simplicity but without loss of generality, we shall set  the unit $\ell=1$ in the later discussions. In addition, $M$ is also set to one as the situation for other magnitudes of the mass parameter can be readily obtained by rescaling the coordinates.

\section{Holographic setup for non-local observables}
Having the construction of a model that describes the thermalization
process on the dual conformal field theory, we have to choose a set of extended observables in the bulk
which allow us to evaluate the evolution of the system.
 For simplicity, here we shall focus mainly on the two-point correlation
function at equal time and expectation value of rectangular space-like Wilson loop.
\subsection{Two-point correlation function at equal time}
According to the AdS/CFT correspondence,  the equal time two-point correlation function under  the saddle-point
approximation can
be holographically approximated as \cite{Balasubramanian2, Balasubramanian61}
\begin{equation}
\langle {\cal{O}} (t_0,\textbf{x}) {\cal{O}}(t_0, \textbf{x}')\rangle  \approx
e^{-\Delta {\tilde{L}_{ren}}} ,\label{llll}
\end{equation}
if the conformal dimension $\Delta$ of scalar operator $\cal{O}$
is large enough, where
$\tilde{L}_{ren}$ indicates the renormalized length of the bulk geodesic between the points $(t_0,
\textbf{x})$ and $(t_0, \textbf{x}')$ on the AdS boundary.
 Based on Eq.(\ref{llll}), we will concentrate on studying the space-like geodesic in the  Gauss-Bonnet gravity to explore how the  Gauss-Bonnet coefficient affects the thermalization time.

For the AdS black brane in Gauss-Bonnet gravity, it is asymptotically AdS with AdS radius $\ell_{eff}$
 and boundary coordinate $\mathbf{\tilde{x}}$.  Taking into account the spacetime symmetry of our Vaidya type black brane,
  we can simply let $\mathbf{x}$ and $\mathbf{x'}$ have identical
  coordinates except $\tilde{x}^1=-\ell_{eff}\frac{l}{2}$ and $\tilde{x}'^1=\ell_{eff}\frac{l}{2}$
  with $\ell_{eff} l$ the separation between these two points on the boundary, where $l$ is the boundary
  separation of the  Vaidya black brane  as discussed in \cite{Balasubramanian1,Balasubramanian2}. In order to make
   the notation as simple as possible, we would like to rename this exceptional coordinate $x^1$ as $x$ and employ it to
    parameterize the trajectory such that the proper length is given by

\begin{equation}
  \tilde{L}  =  \int_{-\ell_{eff}\frac{l}{2}}^{\ell_{eff}\frac{l}{2}} dx
\frac{\sqrt{1-2z'(x)v'(x) - H(v,z) v'(x)^2}}{z(x)} ,\label{false}
\end{equation}
where the prime denotes the derivative with respect to $x$ and
\begin{equation}
H(v,z)=\frac{1}{2\tilde{\alpha}}\left[1-\sqrt{1-4\tilde{\alpha}\left(1-M(v)
z^{D-1}\right)}\right].
\end{equation}
Note that the integrand in
Eq.(\ref{false}) can be thought of as the Lagrangian $\cal{L}$ of a fictitious system with $x$ the proper time.
Since the Lagrangian does not depend explicitly on $x$, there is an associated conserved quantity
\begin{equation}
 {\cal{H}}  ={\cal{L}}-v'(x)\frac{\partial \cal{L}}{\partial v'(x) } -  z'(x)\frac{\partial \cal{L}}{\partial z'(x) }= \frac{1}{z(x) \sqrt{1-2z'(x)v'(x) - H (v,z) v'(x)^2} }.
\end{equation}
With it, the equations of motion for $z(x)$ and $v(x)$ can be obtained as
\begin{eqnarray} \label{gequation}
0 &=& 2 - 2 v'(x)^2 H(v,z) - 4 v'(x) z'(x) - 2 z(x) v''(x) + z(x)
v'(x)^2 \partial_z H(v,z),\nonumber\\
0&=&v'(x)z'(x)\partial_zH(v,z)+\frac{1}{2}v'(x)^2\partial_vH(v,z)+v''(x)H(v,z)+z''(x).
\end{eqnarray}
Furthermore, by the reflection symmetry of our geodesic, we have the following initial conditions
\begin{equation}\label{initial}
z(0)=z_*,  v(0)=v_* , v'(0) =
z'(0) = 0.
\end{equation}
Thus the proper length of geodesic in (\ref{false}) can be simplified as
\begin{equation}
\tilde{L} = 2 \int_{0}^{\ell_{eff}\frac{l}{2}} dx \frac{z_*}{z(x)^2} .
\end{equation}
Generically this proper length is divergent. So one needs to make regularization and renormalization. The regularization can be achieved by
imposing the boundary conditions as follows
\begin{equation}\label{regularization}
z(\ell_{eff}\frac{l}{2})=z_0, v(\ell_{eff}\frac{l}{2})=t_0,
\end{equation}
where $z_0$ is the IR radial cut-off. Then by subtracting the divergent part\footnote{This part is the contribution of the geodesic length near the AdS boundary, one can refer \cite{CK} to get the details.}, one ends up with the renormalized geodesic length as
\begin{equation}\label{lren}
\tilde{L}_{ren}=2 \int_{0}^{\ell_{eff}\frac{l}{2}} dx \frac{z_*}{z(x)^2}+2\ell_{eff}\ln z_0.
\end{equation}

\subsection{Expectation value of rectangular space-like Wilson loop}
Wilson loop operator is defined as a path ordered integral of gauge field over a closed contour,
 and its expectation value is approximated geometrically  by the AdS/CFT correspondence as \cite{Balasubramanian2, Maldacena80}
\begin{equation}
\langle W(C)\rangle \approx e^{-\frac{\tilde{A}_{ren}(\Sigma)}{2\pi\alpha'}},
\end{equation}
where $C$ is the closed contour, $\Sigma$ is the minimal bulk surface ending on $C$ with $\tilde{A}_{ren}$ its renormalized
minimal  area surface  , and  $\alpha'$ is the Regge slope parameter.

Here we are focusing solely on the rectangular space-like Wilson loop. In this case, the enclosed rectangle can be always
chosen to be centered at the coordinate origin and lying on the $x^1-x^2$ plane with the assumption that the corresponding
 bulk surface is invariant along the $x^2$ direction. This implies that the minimal  area surface   can be expressed as
\begin{equation}
\tilde{A}=\int_{-\ell_{eff}\frac{l}{2}}^{\ell_{eff}\frac{l}{2}}dx
\frac{\sqrt{1-2z'(x)v'(x) - H(v,z) v'(x)^2}}{z(x)^2},
\end{equation}
where we have set the separation along $x^2$ direction to be one and the separation along $x^1$ to be $\ell_{eff}l$ with $x^2$ renamed as $y$ and $x^1$ renamed as $x$.

As before, we have also a conserved quantity, i.e.,
\begin{equation}
{\cal{H}}=\frac{1}{z(x)^2 \sqrt{1-2z'(x)v'(x) - H (v,z) v'(x)^2} },
\end{equation}
which can simplify our equations of motion as
\begin{eqnarray} \label{aequation}
0&=&4-4v'(x)^2H(v,z)-8v'(x)z'(x)-2z(x)v''(x)+z(x)v'(x)^2\partial_zH(v,z),\nonumber\\
0&=&v'(x)z'(x)\partial_zH(v,z)+\frac{1}{2}v'(x)^2\partial_vH(v,z)+v''(x)H(v,z)+z''(x).
\end{eqnarray}
Similarly, with the initial conditions as in (\ref{initial}) and the regularization cut-off as in (\ref{regularization}), the
renormalized minimal  area surface  can be cast into
\begin{equation}\label{aren}
\tilde{A}_{ren}=2\int_0^{\ell_{eff}\frac{l}{2}}dx
\frac{z^2_*}{z(x)^4}-\frac{2}{z_0}.
\end{equation}

\section{Numerical results}
In this section,  we concentrate on finding the renormalized geodesic length and
minimal  area surface  numerically on the basis of  (\ref{lren}) and  (\ref{aren}). Because there have been many works to study the effect of
the space time dimensions on the thermalization probes \cite{Balasubramanian1, Balasubramanian2, GS, CK}, to avoid redundancy,
we mainly discuss the case $D=5$ in this paper. During the numerics, we will take the shell thickness, horizon and  UV
 cut-off as $v_0 = 0.01$, $r_h = 1$, $z_0 = 0.01$ respectively and relabel the boundary separation  $\ell_{eff} l$ as  $\tilde{\ell}$.

Firstly let us turn to the  equations of motion of the geodesic in (\ref{gequation}). Using the boundary conditions in (\ref{initial}), we can get the
solutions of $z(x)$ directly for different  $\alpha$. Here, we are interested in the  effect of the Gauss-Bonnet coefficient  $\alpha$ on the  motion
profile of the geodesics.  Considering the  constraint
of
causality of dual field theory on the boundary, we take  $\alpha=-0.1, 0.0001, 0.08$ as examples. The concrete numerical results are shown in
 Figure (\ref{fig1}),  in which  the  horizontal direction is the motion profile of the geodesics for different Gauss-Bonnet coefficients while the
 vertical direction is the motion profile of the geodesics for different initial times.
The  horizontal direction shows  that the Gauss-Bonnet coefficient affects the position of the shell. This phenomenon is most obvious
 for the case $v_*=-0.456$. For  $\alpha=-0.1$, the shell is outside the horizon of the Gauss-Bonnet   AdS  black brane, however as  the Gauss-Bonnet coefficient
increases to  $\alpha=0.08$, the shell drops into the  horizon of the black brane. In other words, for  $\alpha=-0.1$ the  quark
gluon plasma  in the conformal field theory is thermalizing while for  $\alpha=0.08$ it is thermalized.
The thermalization times are listed in Table (\ref{tab:g}). It is shown that as $\alpha$ increases, the thermalization time  decreases for the same
initial time. That is, as the Gauss-Bonnet coefficient
grows larger, the  quark
gluon plasma  is easier to be thermalized.
The vertical direction in  Figure (\ref{fig1}) shows the motion  profile of the geodesics for a fixed  $\alpha$.
As the initial time increases step by step, the shell approaches to the horizon and finally drops into there. In this case,
a static Gauss-Bonnet AdS black  brane  forms  and the thermalization ends up.

 Having the numerical result of $z(x)$, we can study
the  renormalized geodesic length  according to (\ref{lren}). As done in \cite{GS}, we compare $\delta \tilde{L}$
 at each time with the final values $\delta \tilde{L}_{GB}$, obtained in a static Gauss-Bonnet  AdS black brane, \emph{i.e.} $m(\mu)=M$.
  In this case, the thermalized state  is labeled by the zero point of the vertical coordinate in each picture.
 To get an observable quantity that is $\tilde{l}$ independent, we will plot the quantity $\delta L=\delta \tilde{L}/\tilde{l}$.

Figure (\ref{figa2}) gives the relation between the  renormalized geodesic length and thermalization time for different boundary separation that varies horizontally. In each picture, the vertical axis
indicates the renormalized geodesic length while the horizontal axis indicates the time $t_0$.
 From the  same color line, \emph{e.g.}
green line, in (a), (b) and (c) in Figure (\ref{figa2}),  we know that as the separation distance
 of local quantum field theory operators at the boundary increases, the
thermalization time raises for a fixed Gauss-Bonnet coefficients $\alpha$. This result is consistent with that in \cite{Balasubramanian1, Balasubramanian2}, which implies the UV thermalizes first. For a fixed separation distance, \emph{e.g.} $\tilde{l} = 2$,  the thermalization time decreases as
$\alpha$ becomes larger. This phenomenon has been also observed previously when we study the motion profile of the geodesic.  In \cite{GS}, the effect of charge on the thermalization time is investigated, it was shown that there is an enhancement of the thermalization time as the chemical
potential over temperature ratio increases. Obviously, the  Gauss-Bonnet coefficient has an opposite effect on the  renormalized geodesic length compared
with that case. In addition, in Figure (\ref{figa2}), we observe  that for a fixed boundary separation there is always a time range in which  the  renormalized geodesic length takes the same value nearly. That is, during that time range,
the Gauss-Bonnet coefficient has little effect on the   renormalized geodesic length.

Adopting similar strategy, we also can study the motion profile of minimal area   and the relation between the renormalized minimal  area surface  and thermalization
 time. Based on the motion equations in (\ref{aequation}) and the boundary conditions in  (\ref{initial}),
the numerical solution of $z(x)$  can be produced. In this case, we can get the  motion profile of minimal area  for different $\alpha$,
which are shown in Figure (\ref{figa11}). From  this figure, we know that as the Gauss-Bonnet coefficient increases, the shell surface approaches
 to the horizon surface step by step.
 The thermalization time for different $\alpha$ have been listed in Table (\ref{taba1}). It is obvious that the thermalization time decreases
 as $\alpha$ becomes larger. This behavior is similar to that of the geodesics. In addition, we also can substitute the numerical result
  of $z(x)$ into  (\ref{aren}) to get the renormalized minimal  area surface. Similar to the case of geodesic, we will plot $\delta A-\delta A_{GB}$,
   where  $\delta A=\delta \tilde{A}/\tilde{l}$ and $\delta A_{GB}$ is the  renormalized minimal  area surface    for a  static  Gauss-Bonnet AdS black brane.
   The relation between the renormalized minimal  area surface    and thermalization time
 is given in Figure  (\ref{figa33}), in which the vertical axis indicates the renormalized minimal  area surface while the horizontal axis indicates
 the thermalization time $t_0$. We find that  as the separation distance increases, the
thermalization time raises for a fixed Gauss-Bonnet coefficient, which confirms the fact that the UV modes thermalize first. And for a fixed separation distance, the thermalization time decreases as
$\alpha$ becomes larger. That is to say,  the larger the Gauss-Bonnet coefficient is, the easier the quark gluon plasma  thermalizes. This behavior
is similar to that of the geodesic which is given in Figure (\ref{figa2}). As the case of the renormalized geodesic length, we find that
in Figure  (\ref{figa33}), there is also an overlapped region, where the Gauss-Bonnet coefficient has little effect on the renormalized minimal area surface.

\section{Conclusions}
The  thermalization time scale of the dual boundary field theory in  Gauss-Bonnet gravity is studied in the framework of  AdS/CFT correspondence.
 The thermalization process in the dual field theory is modeled by the collapsing of a shell of dust that  interpolates between a pure AdS and a
  Gauss-Bonnet AdS black brane, in which the ground state is sufficiently excited by the injection of energy and followed by the thermalization.
   The two-point functions and expectation values of Wilson loops are chosen as the thermalization probes, which
    are dual to the  renormalized geodesic length and minimal  area surface   in the bulk. The effect of the  Gauss-Bonnet coefficients
   on the thermalization time is studied.
We  first obtain the motion profiles of the geodesic and minimal surface   and find that for both cases the thermalization time
decreases as the Gauss-Bonnet coefficient increases. We reproduce this result by studying the relation between the  renormalized
geodesic length and time as well as the renormalized minimal surface  area and time respectively. In addition, for both the thermalization probes,
 we observe an overlapped region where the
Gauss-Bonnet coefficient has few influence on them for a fixed boundary separation. The reason for this phenomenon maybe arises
 from the delay of the thermalization. As stressed in \cite{Balasubramanian2}, the thermalization only becomes fully
apparent at distances of the order of the thermal screening length $\tilde{l}_D\sim(\pi T)^{-1}$, where $T$ is the temperature of
 the dual conformal field. From (\ref{temperature}), we know that the temperature is independent of the Gauss-Bonnet coefficient,
  so we can conclude safely that the thermalization for different $\alpha$ begins apparently at the almost same distance, leading to an overlap.

On the other hand, it is known  from the viewpoint of holography that IIB string theory on AdS5 $\times S^5$ background is dual to $D=4, ~N=4, ~SU(N_c) $ super Yang-Mills theory, and higher
derivative corrections from string correspond
to finite 't Hooft coupling corrections. The most common corrections to the string are  described by the terms $R^4$ and $R^2$ \cite{1008.2430}. Recently Ref. \cite{1305.2237} investigated the effect of  $R^4$ corrections on the thermalization time scale in the framework of  supergravity. They found that  finite 't Hooft coupling corrections decrease  just a very little the thermalization
time of UV modes, while they produce the opposite trend for IR modes. In this paper, we investigated one case of  $R^2$ corrections, namely the Gauss-Bonnet gravity. We found that the Gauss-Bonnet coefficient will enhance the thermalization time  for both the thermalization probes. It is also interesting to study the effect of $R^2$ corrections to the thermalization time scale in the framework of  supergravity to compare with our work and that in \cite{1305.2237}.

Whether it's for your kiddos birthday party, a group of adults in search of a new hobby, bachelorettes seeking a final dangerous mission, or parents looking to learn the craft of role-playing, our private sessions offer everything you need to experience cooperative-storytelling at it's finest. Just bring your imagination, we'll bring everything else.
Immerse yourself in a lands of legends with the aid of the world's finest 3d tabletop terrain by Dwarven Forge. Along with a host of other accessories, you'll know just what rock to sneak behind, and where to hurl a fireball.
Come to my home and seat the "Table of Tales", a table made from a castle door and wagon wheels. Experience the aromas of adventure with Cantrip Candles, and the sounds of suspense with our hand-picked playlists.
No matter what character you choose to play or monster you deign to battle - we've got it covered - from dwarf warrior to other-worldly abberation. Black-pudding got you grappled? We've got just the mini for that.
*3d terrain, gaming space, and full access to miniatures available upon booking with the GM Host option below.
Pre-built Campaign / Adventure: For a pre-built module our rate is $150 per four hour episode, with room for 3-6 players (not including myself). That price includes 4 hours of play, 1 hour of prep, and travel time/cost (Limited to the greater Nashville area) we would bring 100% of the supplies necessary to play (All the necessary books, DM screen, maps, markers, pencils, dice, miniatures, custom soundtracks, portable speaker, character sheets, quick reference guides). Most importantly it includes our vast experience at playing and storytelling, and specific expertise in teaching these games to all-ages of people.
Why choose this option? The majority of the heavy work has been done when running a module. Monsters are built, maps are illustrated, an entire story and setting has been fleshed out for characters to explore, making a module cheaper than a Home-brewed game. The disadvantage is that the story and the characters are somewhat per-determined, and have to plug into one-another. If someone were interested in GMing afterward to continue the story, it would be very easy to hand it off to him or her.
Home-brewed Campaign: For a custom game, our rate is $200 per four hour episode, and includes everything from the pre-built option. The increased rate covers the additional hours needed to build you a story of danger and excitement, and to set the stage for your character's heroism to take place. In our minds, nothing beats a great "home-brewed" game. This is how my weekly table of veterans Material Components plays all of our RPG's, and is where we are able to bring our full capabilities as Game Masters to bare for all at the table to enjoy! In order to run a home-brewed game, a Character-Building Session may be necessary. SPECIAL: Book a full month and I'll help you build characters for free!
Why choose this option? The advantages of a custom game are the flexibility of storytelling and greater opportunity for cooperative world-building and character building. We will write the story around your character's motivations, goals, and aspirations, rather than just running what's in a book. With some work from an incoming GM, a custom story could also be handed off, allowing them to take the adventure in their own direction.
SPECIAL: Booking 1 month of play gives the party 1 free bonus session of either the Character-building Night, or Game Master Hand-off. That's $100 value!
SPECIAL: Booking 2 months of play give the party 2 free bonus sessions; both the Character-building Night, and the Game Master Hand-off. That's $200 value!
Ongoing-Campaign: Booked in monthly increments, and with a general length of time pre-determined (so we know how long to aim for in completing the story / arc).
Location: There are two options for where the game can take place; either you host, or we do!
You Host: We bring the game to you (in the greater Nashville area), and we'll provide everything needed (books, minis, resources). The only thing we'll need from you is a table and as many chairs as we have players +1 for the GM.
GM Host: Alternatively we can host game at Guild Master Josh's house, upon the epic Table of Tales, and using the freed-up "travel time" to instead build impressive gaming setups using 3d gaming tiles for increased immersion.
NOTE: This session is recommended for a Home-brewed Campaign, but can be FREE if booking 1 month or more.
NOTE: This step is recommended for a Home-brewed Campaign, and can be FREE if booking 1 month or more.
Choose the time, duration, location, type, and gaming system.
I have a specific date in mind.
I don't have a specific date, just a time / day of the week.
If you know the specific date you'd like to play, enter it below.
What day of the week / what time works best for your group?
Are you interested in Add-on Sessions?
1 add-on session is free when booking 1 month. 2 add-on sessions are free when booking 2 months or more.
What else should I know about your players?
Still have questions, comments, or concerns? Have specific requirements for a special event? We're happy to help you navigate the choices to make for the best possible experience for your group. Tell us below.
Your adventure has been submitted. We will get back to you shortly with a confirmation and any further questions we may have.

Stray Kids' Han Points Out The Change He's Noticed In Bang Chan Over Four Years
"You were like a beast before."
Stray Kids' Han and Bang Chan discussed how long they'd known each other in the return of Two Kids Room. Upon realizing it had been four years, Bang Chan asked Han if there had been any change in him.
Han instantly noted that Bang Chan had become nicer than when they'd first met and explained how.
From Han's unique point of view, he likened Bang Chan to being a tamed beast to explain how much more approachable he is than before. Bang Chan has maintained his personality but is more relatable than before.
You can be tamed now. You were like a beast before.
When trying to describe the person Bang Chan is now, Han kept in line with his earlier analogy by comparing him to a temperamental cat. It's far safer than an untamed beast since it's most likely to be violent only when provoked.
But, now you are like…a violent pet cat?
As one of the oldest in the group and its leader, Bang Chan could easily seem hard for them to approach. Thanks to his softening demeanor over the years, he's been able to break through that. Listen to Han's unique explanation of him starting at 1:23.

One of my favorite parts of going to fashion week is trying out looks I would never dare here in DC! I recently saw a magazine spread on mixing prints - I dipped my toe in the water with black & white mixed prints and accessories but I really wanted to try a bolder look... Booya, what do you think??? I tried to tie the two clashing pieces together by having a floral print theme. It's funny, I think everyone would stare if I wore this outside NYC, but I don't think I even turned a head at fashion week! I was really hoping my look would get my picture taken, but no go!
It was freezing out, but I really wanted some shots in front of the reflecting pool & sculpture at Lincoln Center. Everyone takes pictures in front of the fountain, but I have yet to see any over here - a shame since it's so beautiful! Thanks Alyssa for braving the cold to take my pic!
I'm wearing: BCBG asian floral print top, vintage floral skirt stolen from mom's closet, tights courtesy of Kushy Foot, vintage shearling coat, red gloves from ModCloth, vampire necklace by P.A.M., knit turban from ASOS (still available and just $22!!), and my Robert Clergerie boots.
