Bear in mind that just because someone's selling a book does not mean that the book is still under copyright/ they own the copyright to the book. Everything in the public domain (i.e. no longer under copyright) can be printed and sold by anyone. Many companies currently sell print copies of expired copyright/ public domain books (just Google print-on-demand – these books are sold on sites like Abebooks, the Book Depository, and by independent suppliers). Modern Pattern Design by Harriet Pepin is one such book. It has been out of copyright for years- some publishers sell it as is, others add a couple of pages/ a chapter to 'put the book in context', copyright the annotated version and sell it. One of the publishers doing the latter is the Centre for Pattern Design (I have been in touch with them about their copyright on Pepin's book and they only own the copyright on one such contextual version-which means if I come across a scanable version of the original I will scan it and make it available).
I put up these posts because I feel this information should be made freely available to everyone that can make use of it. Modern sewing/ pattern-making books can be prohitively expensive and are generally not as thorough in their treatments of the same topics as their vintage/ antiquarian counterparts.
I.e. books which are no longer covered by copyright. If you have proof that this is not the case (for example, documentation or images supporting current copyright details for this version) please do send me a link. I've listed the databases I use to check for copyright specifications. If you know of others I would appreciate links to those as well.
*sigh* And now for some information about the book. It covers pattern making for Lingerie. From ye olde days (1950 is ye olde) so the styles and techniques used will be fairly different from those in vogue today (due to stylistic changes, technological advances and the availability of materials that only existed in Science Fiction back in the day).
More free dressmaking sh*t here [seriously- Millinery and furs too. No I am not sorting it and picking goodies to feature. Some idiot suggested I should run around leaving comments linking all the Friday Freebies to all the blog posts out there mentioning said books. Because, obviously, I have nothing better to do. And Google hasn't been invented yet. The only reason said idiot wasn't rewarded with a swift kick to the head is because I don't (yet) know where it lives].

Q: This returns a Stack Empty Exception for me when I move items from stack 1 to 2. Can you please help me figure out what is wrong? private MyStack stack1 = new MyStack();
private MyStack stack2 = new MyStack();

    public int dequeue() {
            int x = 0;
            while(!stack1.isEmpty()) {
                stack2.push(stack1.pop());
            }
            return x;
        }

The program is to move items from stack 1 to 2. The problem is that it throws a StackEmptyException when I push from stack 1 to 2. I tried to push normal integers to both stacks and it seemed fine.
public class MyStack {
    static final int MAX = 100;
    private int[] array = new int[MAX];
    private int top;

    public MyStack(){
        top = -1;
    }

    boolean isEmpty() {
        return (top < 0);
    }

    public void setArraySize(int x) {
        array = new int[x];
    }

    public int peek(){ // displays the number on top of stack
        return array[top];
    }

    public void push(int x) { // puts a number on top of stack
        if(top>=array.length-1) {
            System.out.println("StackFullException");
        }
        array[++top] = x;
    }

    public int pop() { // removes the number that is on top of stack
        if(top<array.length) {
            System.out.println("StackEmptyException");
        }
        int x = array[top--];
        return x;
    }
}

This is my stack declaration that is based from an array.

A: public int pop() { // removes the number that is on top of stack
    if(top<0) {
        System.out.println("StackEmptyException");
    }
    int x = array[top--];
    return x;
}

I mistakenly set my if statement to throw a StackEmptyExeception if top < the array.

Women in Agriculture conference set for 34 locations
By CAROL RYAN DUMAS Capital Press
Carol Ryan Dumas
Washington State University Extension will again bring women in agriculture together to network and hear guest speakers offering practical advice and new skills.
This year's conference, "Healthy Farms," will be Jan. 25 and will focus on cultivating personal resiliency to handle all the "ups and downs" as a women farmer.
Women in 33 locations in Washington, Idaho, Oregon, Montana, Alaska and Hawaii will use the internet to link to the main event at the Walla Walla, Wash., Legislative Building.
It is no secret that farming can be tough, whether it is caused by factors that can be controlled or that farmers try to control when they can't, said Margaret Viebrock, WSU Douglas and Chelan County Extension director and chairman of the conference.
The stress of farming has always existed, but it soars during times of high costs and low returns, she said.
The interactive conference is designed to motivate women in agriculture to develop a self-care plan and realize the connection between a healthy person and a healthy farm. It will offer headline speakers at all locations, tailoring the conference content for each region, she said.
Last year, nearly 500 women attended.
"Many attendees reported it is the best conference for women producers because it presents practical information they can use right away," she said.
This year's lineup includes Brenda Mack, a third-generation farmer in Minnesota who is also a behavior and wellness professor at Bemidji State University. She will be joined by Shauna Reitmeier, a third-generation farmer who specializes in behavioral health with the Northwest Mental Health Center in Minnesota.
Together they will focus on helping women farmers strengthen their personal health care to reduce the effects of stress, worry and exhaustion.
In addition, Sue Schneider of Colorado State University Extension will teach women how to make mindful farming and personal decisions without reacting to negative thoughts, emotions and judgments.
Each location will have a local panel of women farmers who will speak on how they have developed their own self-care plan to deal with day-to-day events and make mindful decisions that helped them be successful in farming.
Gabrielle McNally, who represents the Women for the Land: American Farmland Trust's Initiative, will explain how the initiative engages women farmers on topics of conservation, farmland preservation and land access. A partnership with the initiative can implement local peer-to-peer learning circles.
The conference is designed for women who are farming, as well as new and aspiring farmers. Supporting spouses, students, interns or people who own an agriculture-related business are also welcome.
The conference registration fee is $30 before Jan. 17 and $35 after that date. The fee includes the workshop, light breakfast, lunch and conference materials.

In workers comp, we often speak about occupational physicians or "occ docs" but what exactly does that mean and how does an occupational physician differ from other physicians? Occupational and environmental medicine (OEM) is a board-certified specialty within the profession of preventive medicine that focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of work-related injuries and illnesses. Occupational physicians also serve as champions for the health/safety of workers and their environments.
At its recent annual conference, The American College Occupational and Environmental Medicine (ACOEM) released a video Introduction To Occupational and Environmental Medicine written and produced by Dr. Jon O'Neal, MD, MPH, FACOEM and Residency Director of HealthPartners and University of Minnesota OEM Program St. Paul, Minnesota.
Hippocrates and Pliny wrote about occupational injuries and exposures. It also includes a brief history and overview of workers compensation and the occupational physician's unique triangular relationship with worker and employer. It also talks about common work exposures and routes of exposure, and the role of the occupational physician, including the prevention component of occupational medicine; treating injured workers; disability management; and various testing and monitoring roles, such as conducting preplacement exams; serving as medical review officers (MRO) in drug screening programs; conducting surveillance exams to measure ongoing effects of work exposures; monitoring fitness for safety sensitive workers such as pilots.
For more on the role of the occupational physician, see ACOEM: What is OEM?
It's Health Wonk Review week and Jaan Sidorov has posted A Presidential Politics-Free Health Wonk Review at The Population Health Blog. It contains the maximum on health policy issues of the day and the minimum on politics, as promised. All health policy, all the time! Check it out.
We also have a new Health Wonk Review feature to introduce – the Health Wonk Review Blab. What's a "Blab"? It's part video conference, part text chat. After every new HWR, David Harlow and Joe Paduda will join some Health Wonk Review regulars to talk about health policy issues of the day. You can find the pilot edition of HWR Blab here — and here's a notice for the upcoming edition.

Eileen, if you will send me an email and let me know which pattern you would like, I will get it right out to you.
I think the most unhappy I ever was with a completed project was a baby blanket I made years ago, not long after I learned to crochet. I worked on it for several months before my son Josh was born in 1978. I made it from a 'bargain' acrylic yarn, all I could afford at the time. The yarn didn't seem too bad when I was working with it, and I was proud of how the blanket turned out. But after I washed it, it became so itchy and scratchy feeling that I didn't even want it to touch my baby. I tried using fabric softener, but nothing helped. I wish I had used a better quality yarn to make it; I felt like all of the time I put into making it had gone to waste.
Did you ever try soaking it in some vinegar and water? I have heard that can soften some material.

The Communal First Saturday provides a way of fulfilling Our Lady of Fatima's request for the First Saturdays and thereby helping bring about world peace and the salvation of souls. The Communal First Saturdays helps to schedule in the parish and lead all four practices requested by Our Lady for the purpose of making reparation to her Immaculate Heart. The First Saturdays in the communal form is a way of making it easier for each person to fulfill all of the practices of the First Saturdays and for a larger number of people to do so. Further, there is a greater power to our prayer and reparation when we join in prayer together publicly. The communal form also makes it more possible to give visible witness that Our Lord and Our Lady's request for the First Saturdays is being fulfilled.

Wife, mom, and a real estate broker. A graduate of Oklahoma State University with a degree in General Business, I have been in the real estate industry as long I can remember. My father a real estate developer and my mother my broker for the first 10 years of my career. When I'm not playing with my kids or selling real estate, I am behind the camera capturing everything I possibly can. Whether behind the lens of a canon 5d Mark iii or my iPhone 7 , I love to capture the beauty that GOD has created. Jesus Christ is my savior and I am so thankful for the path God has chosen for me. I have a wonderful family, excellent career, and a super blessed life! My life's motto…"If I don't already do it or know how, I will learn before I die" I love to learn and share with those the gifts that GOD has given me! Marketing is more than just putting a sign the yard. I know real estate, know the market, and how to advertise your home. I work closely with my both my buyers and sellers to provide the most up to date information in the market place. I will work hard to make sure your transaction is as stress free as possible.


It's a GLOOMY day today but tomorrow will be sunny and 82! Lindsay practiced for tomorrow two months ago and I just found this picture. We'll be cooking out, putting up the volleyball net, and hitting the pool for Canada Day this year. And, we'll be using all of the cool party stuff that Connect2Canada sent us!
Let's hit things with hammers!
Yes - it's really some odd form of croquet. No, I don't remember how to play it. I was their age the last time I tried. All they care about is being able to hit things with big hammers.
For special events, we put up the camping tent in the living room and have tent night. Tonight is the new Disney movie "Camp Rock" and I'm having to sit through it to just to make sure they don't show the kids how to light fires or steal cars. So far, it's a tad dumb but fairly tame.
Wow. In 18 years, I'm up 60 pounds! Ahhh, If I knew then what I know now..... I barely remember the "Me" of June 19, 1990. This is from the 25 cent scale at the front of the old Wal Mart that was brand new at the time. It's now a Sears outlet. Tomorrow, I'll post another one of these from one year later. On a side note, Larry King just mentioned that Motley Crue will be on the show with him tomorrow night. That is just plain scary.
And a turtle twirling a hula hoop.
That should be just creepy enough to keep the door to door salespeople away.
After some car trouble, I finally made it to Cincinnati. I even stopped at the store I worked at 10 years ago. It has not changed at all. Tomorrow will be a busy day. I'll have to channel the inner strength!!
The Blog is going back on the road!
On the road again - this time for work. I'll be working in Cincinnati for the next week. I'll drive up (about a 5 hour drive) tomorrow afternoon. I hope to spend what little bit of free time I have going out to where I used to live there. I'm sure they turned it into a shrine the moment I left. It's hard to believe, but we moved away from Cincinnati 10 years ago this July! I dread working in the warehouse in all of the heat but I'm optimistic that it will go well. And I can keep myself entertained by taking pictures and posting them immediately here! Woo hoo!
If you don't get out of the bed fast enough, we just make the bed right over you. The new pool started going up Saturday morning. I bought this in November on clearance at Kmart for $40! It is $150 new. It sat at my wife's parents all winter since they were going to use it. Our pool died, so we got it back. The pool is by INTEX and I couldn't recommend it more. It was easy to put up, very sturdy, and best of all - it came with full instructions on a DVD!!
Later in the afternoon, it was done!
To celebrate, I broke out the Taco Bell gear and made fajitas and tostadas. Sara (my future photojournalist) took this picture!

IPSO and the Press Story about Princess Di's Warning to Meghan Markle from beyond the Grave
I found another interesting snippet from Private Eye while I was looking through a pile of old copies last night, which adds a slightly different perspective Prince Harry's decision to prosecute the press. Harry is rightly angered at the way his and other's phones were hacked, and it appears that one of the other victims was his mother, Princess Diana. It looks like one of those bearing responsibility for that was Piers Morgan, who was editor of the Mirror and then News of the World when it happened.
https://zelo-street.blogspot.com/2019/10/prince-harry-says-they-hacked-diana.html
I'm afraid I've misplaced the snippet, but if anyone's really interested, I'll try to find it again. But it was a report on a later sent to a complainant by IPSO about an article published in one of the newspapers. This claimed that a pair of 'psychic twins' had been contacted by the late Lady Di, who had given them warning from her to be given to Meghan Markle. If the Eye's account is correct, it was deeply tasteless story. I'm not a sceptic regarding life after death and the possibility of the dead contacting the living, but this is right up there with some of the nonsense spread by mediums like the late Doris Stokes in her prime. And the various celebrity mediums, who've come out with messages from everybody from Henry VIII, Julius Caesar and Queen Victoria. It's nonsense. The person, who complained to IPSO about it apparently objected to it because these claims were being reported as fact. IPSO stated that they decided that it had not. The article had included plenty of terms indicating neutrality towards the truth of the twins' claim, like 'perhaps', and indicated that they were only reporting what they claimed through statements like 'they said'. And so IPSO turned the complaint down.
The article didn't say, who had complained to IPSO, carefully preserving their anonymity. And it could have been anyone. Princess Di may be over twenty years' dead, but she still has her fans. Just as Meghan Markle and Harry also have their admirers amongst the general public, quite apart from their personal friends.
I was never a fan of Princess Diana. She did some good as Prince Charles' consort, notably in her campaign against landmines. But she was also adept at manipulating the press, and her spat with Charles did diminish the general esteem of the monarchy, even if Charles was the adulterer. Nevertheless, she was killed with Dodi Fayed trying to escape the paparazzi press that followed and exploited her.
This story reminds me of comments Robbie Williams made a few years ago on a programme hosted by Jon Ronson on Radio 4. Ronson and Williams were going to a UFO and alien abductions convention in the US. When asked how he got interested in ufology, the 90s singing sensation replied that it was partly due to the rubbish he had suffered from the press about his mother. She was a medium, and so the papers had run endless stories about Williams, his mother and spooks until he was so sick and tired of it that he couldn't read the papers. It was then that he started getting into UFOs, as something of a diversion. And on the subject of UFOs, Williams sounded remarkably sensible and grounded. When asked about some of the absurdities of the alien abduction phenomenon and Indigo Children – supposedly aliens incarnated as children to guide us here on Earth – he simply replied that he didn't believe it or disbelieve it.
You can well understand why Williams would be upset with the press stories about himself and his mother. Just as it would be no mystery to anyone if Harry was upset about similar stories about his own mother and wife. Lady Di was certainly no angel, but she was hounded to her death by the papers. And the papers have been attacking Meghan Markle, with more than an undercurrent of racism beneath. How dare this American woman of colour marry a royal! And anyone would be annoyed at the press for hacking their and their family's phones.
I therefore have every sympathy for Prince Harry's decision, and wish him the very best in his suit against the press, particularly Rupert Murdoch and Piers Morgan. I'm sure that many Conservatives will too. I know one, who hated the Sun despite its right-wing bias, because it had taken every opportunity to exploit and run down the monarchy. It looks like now one of the royals is biting back.

L-Glycine, or glycine, is a non-essential amino acid, which means your body can produce it on its own if not enough glycine is available through your diet. Glycine is the smallest amino acid in size, but it has many powerful effects on your body and is involved in a variety of biochemical reactions. Glycine is found naturally in animal products, including meat, fish, poultry, and dairy, but can also be ingested as a nutritional supplement. Because glycine is naturally produced by your body, it has very low toxicity, and any excess glycine that you eat will be excreted in your urine. Ask your doctor about glycine before using it as a nutritional supplement to make sure it is right for you.
Glycine is important for the construction of healthy DNA and RNA strands, which are the genetic building blocks that are necessary for the proper function of your body's cells. Glycine is one of the three amino acids that forms creatine, which can help to promote muscle growth and energy production during exercise. Glycine is also the primary component of collagen, the non-contractile connective tissue that makes up most of your skin, tendons, and ligaments.
Glycine acts as a glucogenic amino acid, meaning it can help your body regulate blood sugar levels and provide glucose to various body tissues for energy. Glucogenic amino acids control the amount of blood sugar that is released into your bloodstream from your liver and fat stores, and regulates the amount of glucose that is taken up by your skeletal muscles to be used for energy. As a result, glycine supplementation may benefit people suffering from hypoglycemia, or low blood sugar, anemia, and chronic fatigue.
Your digestive system relies on glycine in order to function normally. Glycine is found in high concentrations in your gallbladder and assists in the production of bile, which is a substance used to digest dietary fatty acids. Glycine is a common ingredient in antacids because of its ability to balance the acid-base ratio in your digestive tract, according to a 2006 study published in the "Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences."
According to the book, "Anabolic Primer," glycine is best known for its effects on your nervous system. Glycine affects the production of brain neurotransmitters, which are essential for maintaining normal brain function and emotions. Glycine supplementation may also help treat symptoms associated with sleep deprivation. In a 2007 study published in the journal "Sleep and Biological Rhythms," investigators found that glycine supplementation improved both subjective and objective measures of sleep quality in patients who experienced continuously unsatisfactory sleep.


Artist Tjelda vander Meijden traveled to Reykjavik, Iceland for Art in Embassies in November, 2004 from the 15th through the 18th. Her visit was punctuated with lectures about her meditations on the veil, or burqa, as well as demonstrations of her artistic techniques.
Tjelda vander Meijden's lecture on the veil was attended by many students of Women's and Gender studies at the University of Reykjavik and by the students in the department of Social Studies and Law at University in Akureyri. This lecture was enhanced by a period of discussion as well as the fact that the artist brought a burqa and encouraged audience members to try it on. These lectures inspired provocative discussions about the West's understanding of Islam and the meaning of being a covered Muslim woman.
The artist also provided Icelanders with technical demonstrations, in particular printmaking. One of the professors of Art Academy in Akureyri expressed concern that the lecture wouldn't draw many attendees because of a decrease in popularity of the medium, but nonetheless a large group gathered to hear the artist speak. After the demonstration and lecture, students were able to experiment for themselves and found much enjoyment in the process.

Thompson scores 43, Warriors beat Knicks to snap home skid
Warriors' Klay Thompson (L) lays up a shot ahead of Knicks' Damyean Dotson during an NBA game AT Oracle Arena in Oakland, CA, the US, on January 8, 2019.
BEN MARGOT/AP
Klay Thompson scored 43 points with seven three-pointers, Stephen Curry had his first double-double of the season with 14 points and a season-best 14 assists, and the Golden State Warriors snapped a rare three-game home losing streak by beating the cold-shooting New York Knicks 122-95 on Tuesday night.
Kevin Durant added 24 points, six rebounds and six assists while Draymond Green had 11 rebounds and 10 of his team's 36 assists as the Warriors pulled away late in the first half to get back on a winning track at Oracle Arena, The Associated Press reported.
Thompson hit five of his first seven shots and had 12 points by the end of the first, finishing 18-of-29 from the floor — seven-for-16 from long range — and notching his second game with at least 40 points after going off for 52 at Chicago on October 29.
Mario Hezonja scored 19 points for the Knicks, who shot 39.8 percent (35-of-88). Enes Kanter added 12 points and 16 rebounds.
The Warriors ended the first half on a 13-0 run over the final 2:47 of the first half to turn a 49-48 deficit into a 61-49 lead at the break.
The skid at home matched the longest at Oracle Arena during Steve Kerr's five seasons as coach.
"I think all great teams have a really good record at home, just kind of the way it is, so we need to re-establish ourselves this week at Oracle," Kerr said.
Golden State won its 10th straight against New York and fifth in a row at home, and this marked the Knicks' final visit to Oracle Arena before the two-time defending champion Warriors move across the bay to new arena Chase Center starting next season.
Curry hit 10 three-pointers on the way to 42 points in Saturday's 127-123 win at Sacramento, moving him into fourth place on the all-time three-point list. He had three more Tuesday to reach 2,280, two shy of matching Jason Terry (2,282) for third all-time.

UNG president: Atlanta massage parlor shooter previously enrolled at Cumming campus
Before Robert Aaron Long, the accused shooter in eight murders in the Atlanta area, was arrested on Tuesday, the Cherokee County Sheriff's Office released a picture of him fleeing the scene of one of the shootings.
University of North Georgia President Bonita Jacobs said in an email on Thursday to the school's students, faculty and staff that Robert Aaron Long, the suspect in a spree of eight murders on Tuesday, March 16, previously attended UNG's Cumming campus.
Robert Aaron Long
In the email, Jacobs said Long was "was enrolled briefly in 2017-2018 at our Cumming Campus" and called the killings "tragic and disturbing."
"Let me be clear — hate, racism and violence have no place in the UNG community, and this incident does not reflect the character of our community or the values we uphold," Jacobs said in the email, which was sent on Thursday afternoon.
"My heart and prayers are with the family and friends of those murdered this week, as well as any students and colleagues in our UNG community who are fearful as a result of racist rhetoric and/or violence. Know that you are not alone, and we are committed to ensuring UNG continues to be an environment that is safe and welcoming. At UNG, we support all Nighthawks, and we will continue to prioritize safety and respect on our campuses."
Long was charged Wednesday with killing eight people at three Atlanta-area massage parlors in an attack that sent terror through the Asian American community, which has increasingly been targeted during the coronavirus pandemic.
A day after the shootings, investigators were trying to unravel what might have compelled 21-year-old Robert Aaron Long to commit the worst mass killing in the U.S. in almost two years.
Long told police that Tuesday's attack was not racially motivated. He claimed to have a "sex addiction," and authorities said he apparently lashed out at what he saw as sources of temptation. But those statements spurred outrage and widespread skepticism given the locations and that six of the eight victims were women of Asian descent.
The shootings appear to be at the "intersection of gender-based violence, misogyny and xenophobia," said state Rep. Bee Nguyen, the first Vietnamese American to serve in the Georgia House and a frequent advocate for women and communities of color.
Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms said that regardless of the shooter's motivation, "it is unacceptable, it is hateful and it has to stop."
Authorities said they didn't know if Long ever went to the massage parlors where the shootings occurred but that he was heading to Florida to attack "some type of porn industry."
"He apparently has an issue, what he considers a sex addiction, and sees these locations as something that allows him to go to these places, and it's a temptation for him that he wanted to eliminate," Cherokee County sheriff's Capt. Jay Baker told reporters.
Baker drew criticism for saying Long had "a really bad day" and "this is what he did." A Facebook page appearing to belong to Baker promoted a T-shirt with racist language about China and the coronavirus last year.
The Facebook account featured numerous photos of Baker going back months, including one of him in uniform outside the sheriff's office. The account was deleted Wednesday night, and Baker did not immediately respond to voicemails and an email seeking comment. The sheriff's office also did not respond to a message.
Meanwhile, Cherokee County Sheriff Frank Reynolds said it was too early to tell if the attack was racially motivated — "but the indicators right now are it may not be."
The Atlanta mayor said police have not been to the massage parlors in her city beyond a minor potential theft.
"We certainly will not begin to blame victims," Bottoms said.
The attack was the sixth mass killing this year in the U.S., and the deadliest since the August 2019 Dayton, Ohio, shooting that left nine people dead, according to a database compiled by The Associated Press, USA Today and Northeastern University.
It follows a lull in mass killings during the pandemic in 2020, which had the smallest number of such attacks in more than a decade, according to the database, which tracks mass killings defined as four or more dead, not including the shooter.
The killings horrified the Asian American community, which saw the shootings as an attack on them, given a recent wave of assaults that coincided with the spread of the coronavirus across the United States.
The attacks began when five people were shot at Youngs Asian Massage Parlor near Woodstock, about 30 miles (50 kilometers) north of Atlanta, authorities said. Four died: 33-year-old Delaina Ashley Yaun, 54-year-old Paul Andre Michels, 44-year-old Daoyou Feng and 49-year-old Xiaojie Tan, who owned the business.
Yaun and her husband came to the spa on a date, her mother, Margaret Rushing, told WAGA-TV. Yaun leaves behind a 13-year-old son and 8-month-old daughter.
Her half-sister, Dana Toole, said Yaun's husband locked himself in a room and wasn't injured.
"He's taking it hard," Toole said. "He was there. He heard the gunshots and everything. You can't escape that when you're in a room and gunshots are flying — what do you do?"
The manager of a boutique next door said her husband watched surveillance video after the shooting and the suspect was sitting in his car for as long as an hour before going inside.
They heard screaming and women running from the business, said Rita Barron, manager of Gabby's Boutique.
The same car was then spotted about 30 miles (48 kilometers) away in Atlanta, where a call came in about a robbery at Gold Spa and three women were shot to death. Another woman was fatally shot at the Aromatherapy Spa across the street.
Long was arrested hours later by Crisp County deputies and state troopers. He refused to stop on a highway and officers bumped the back of his car, causing him to crash, Sheriff Billy Hancock said.
Officers found Long thanks to help from his parents, who recognized him from surveillance footage posted by authorities and gave investigators his cellphone information, which they used to track him, said Reynolds, the Cherokee County sheriff.
"They're very distraught, and they were very helpful in this apprehension," he said.
President Joe Biden called the attack "very, very troublesome."
"We don't yet know the motive, but what we do know is that the Asian-American community is feeling enormous pain tonight. The recent attacks against the community are un-American. They must stop," Biden tweeted Wednesday.
Vice President Kamala Harris, the first Black and South Asian woman in that office, expressed support to the Asian American community, saying, "We stand with you and understand how this has frightened and shocked and outraged all people."
Over the past year, thousands of incidents of abuse have been reported to an anti-hate group that tracks incidents against Asian Americans, and hate crimes in general are at the highest level in more than a decade.
"While the details of the shootings are still emerging, the broader context cannot be ignored," Asian Americans Advancing Justice-Atlanta said in a statement. "The shootings happened under the trauma of increasing violence against Asian Americans nationwide, fueled by white supremacy and systemic racism."
Nico Straughan met Long when he moved to the area in seventh grade, saying Long brought a Bible to school every day and was "super nice, super Christian, very quiet."
"I don't know what turn of heart he might have had, but he went from one of the nicest kids I ever knew in high school to being on the news," Straughan said. "I mean, all my friends, we were flabbergasted."
The American Psychiatric Association does not recognize sex addiction in its main reference guide for mental disorders. While some people struggle to control their sexual behaviors, it's often linked to other recognized disorders or moral views about sexuality, said David Ley, clinical psychologist and author of "The Myth of Sex Addiction."
"These sexual behaviors getting this label are a symptom, not a cause," Ley said.
Kate Brumbak and Angie Wang with the Associated Press contributed to this report.

Henry de Blois, brother of King Stephen held court here in the palace here and the treasury of England was here.
Henry de Blois 1128 – 71, was an outstanding bishop and very persuasive politician who also had a penchant for architecture, building, improving and adorning; churches, Abbey's, almshouses and palaces and one of the most magnificent of these was Wolvesey Palace, tucked into the south eastern corner of the city of Winchester behind the great cathedral.
The episcopal palace was part of his plan to make Winchester an archbishopric. He failed to achieve the archbishopric but managed to make himself Papal Legate in England, with precedence over the Archbishop of Canterbury.
The palace was a magnificently impressive building and must have been a great foil for the ego of Henry de Blois.
The former bishop, Giffard had built a large hall on the site but Henry intended to build a palace to impress. The centre of the building would be a grand hall, so that Henry could impress important visitors and entertain guests. At 27 metres long, and displaying the latest fashionable architectural features, this hall would have had an enormous impact. Colour, textiles a soaring ceiling and best dressed masonry. This hall was intended to leave visitors in no doubt as to who held the power here.
The palace gatehouse housed the treasury of the bishop, one of the richest anywhere in Europe.
Henry continued to add buildings and later fortifications which would serve it well, as it was the setting for the Rout of Winchester one of the most decisive battles in the Civil War known as the Anarchy.
Henry de Blois was the brother of King Stephen and therefore was at the heart of the power battle being played out between Stephen and their cousin the Empress Matilda.
On July 31 1141, the Angevin army of the Empress attacked Winchester. Bishop Henry fled and his men barricaded themselves inside Wolvesey Palce and prepared for siege. Empress Matilda moved in close hunkering down in the Royal Castle.
Stephen's queen, also called Matilda meanwhile set her army to the east of the city and aided by support from Henry the Empress eventually had no choice but to leave.
The role of Wolvesey Palace proved pivotal in securing the crown for Stephen.
The palace continued serving an important role, in 1554, it was the location of the wedding breakfast between Queen Mary and Phillip II of Spain.
It was finally destroyed in 1646 by the Roundheads during the English Civil War.
Now in ruins Wolvesey Palace, still demands respect, built for one of the most powerful men in the country Henry de Blois.

How can one modify the Nambu-Goto action to include the longitudinal degrees of motion?
The Nambu-Goto action is given by $$ S = -\frac{T_0}{c} \int_{-\infty}^{+\infty} d\tau \int_{0}^{\sigma} d\sigma \sqrt{ \Bigg(\frac{\partial X^\mu}{\partial \tau} \frac{\partial X_\mu}{\partial \sigma}\Bigg)^2 - \Bigg(\frac{\partial X^\mu}{\partial \tau} \frac{\partial X_\mu}{\partial \tau}\Bigg)\Bigg(\frac{\partial X^\nu}{\partial \sigma} \frac{\partial X_\nu}{\partial \sigma}\Bigg) }.\tag{6.39} $$ This action can be written in a particular parametrization as (chapter 6 of the book A First Course in String Theory by Barton Zwiebach) $$S = -T_0 \int dt \int ds \sqrt{1-\frac{v_\perp^2}{c^2}}\tag{6.88}$$ where $v_\perp$ is the velocity of the string in a direction perpendicular to its spacial length and $ds$ represents a small string length element. So, the above Nambu-Goto action does not have any longitudinal degrees of freedom. This is expected as this is an action for a fundamental string (so all the points on the string are the same).
My question is how can one modify this action (say by adding higher curvature corrections) to include the longitudinal degrees of freedom to model composite strings?
PS - David Tong mentions a small comment in his notes on string theory about this (pg. no. 17), but does not give any details.
"There will typically be additional terms in the action that depend on the width of the string. The form of these terms is not universal, but often includes a rigidity piece of form $L \int K^2$ , where $K$ is the extrinsic curvature of the worldsheet. Other terms could be added to describe fluctuations in the width $L$ of the string".

The second-order term involving the extrinsic curvature was first introduced by Polyakov$^1$ (and also studied by Kleinert), who augmented the Nambu-Goto action as: $$ S_\text{NG}=\mu_0\int\mathrm d^2\sigma\sqrt{-\det g_{\alpha\beta}} \\S_{(2)}=\frac{1}{\alpha_0}\int\mathrm d^2\sigma\sqrt{-\det g_{\alpha\beta}}\ (K^i_{\rho\sigma})^2 \\S'=S_\text{NG}+S_{(2)} $$ where $\alpha_0$ is the (free) rigidity parameter and $K^i_{\rho\sigma}$ is the second fundamental form of the worldsheet, and so this additional term represents fluctuations in the width of the worldsheet. It is defined by: $$ \nabla_\beta\partial_\alpha X^\mu\equiv \sum_i K^i_{\alpha\beta} n^\mu_i $$
One might also think to add a Ricci scalar term of the same order, but this is seen to be equivalent to $S_{(2)}$ up to a total divergence. In fact, all geometric terms, such as the normals and tangents to the worldsheet, can be constructed out of the induced metric $g_{\alpha\beta}$ (the first fundamental form) and the second fundamental form. Indeed, $S_{(2)}$ is the unique extension of the NG action (up to total divergences) that is Poincaré-invariant, worldsheet reparameterisation-invariant, and also scale-invariant. Polyakov's motivation here was to study the phase structure of string theory in the IR. Interestingly, this second-order correction does not change the equations of motion for an isolated string.
For our purposes, if we write the tension $\mu_0$ as $\mu_0\sim\ell^{-2}$, then we see that $S_{(2)}$ is suppressed by the mass scale induced by the string length. This suggests that we can form an effective field theory using local geometric invariants of the worldsheet of all orders. In particular, we can construct higher-derivative terms using derivatives and torsion-part of the $K_{\alpha\beta}$, suppressed by factors of $\ell^{2}$. $$ S_\text{eff}=\int\mathrm d^2\sigma\sqrt{-\det g_{\alpha\beta}}\left(\ell^{-2}+\frac{1}{\alpha_0}(K_{\sigma\rho})^2+\ell^2(...)\right) $$
The relevance of this model is most prominent not in string theory itself, but in flux tubes, vortices and cosmic strings, where it is known as the "long string effective action". Essentially, in the absence of the constraints of string theory, the Nambu-Goldstone modes due to the breaking of $D-2$ translational symmetries$^2$ by the string are the only massless states in the spectrum, so we can integrate out the massive modes due to transverse fluctuations and obtain an effective description of the longitudinal fluctuations of the NG bosons along the string. Note that qualitatively this is very similar to the Coleman-Callan-Wess-Zumino Construction for pions.
There are more modern constructions$^3$ for this effective action, but the simplest method, as above, is to work in a coordinate-independent framework and construct higher-order terms that are $\mathrm{ISO}(1,1)\times\mathrm{SO}(D-2)$ invariant (even if this symmetry is realised non-linearly), though this theory will not be manifestly unitary. Such terms are, for instance $\int\sqrt{-g}R^2$, $\int\sqrt{-g}g^{\alpha\beta}g^{\gamma\delta}g^{\epsilon\zeta}g^{\eta\kappa}K^i_{\alpha\beta}K^i_{\gamma\delta}K^j_{\epsilon\zeta}K^j_{\eta\kappa}$, etc. with the appropriate factor of $\ell$. However, remember that determining the precise numerical prefactor for each term is a matter of matching with the UV theory (as with other EFTs) or, depending on the specific model under consideration, using explicit lattice computations.

We've got a simple process in place in order to validate talks that you may want to present.
not be commercial in nature or designed to influence a purchase in any form. The talk may present specifics about a given product in order to illustrate a point, but not looking to sell the product.
exclusive to this meetup up to 30 days before the event occurs in the region of Porto, in order to avoid repetition with other local events.
Start by submitting our Call for speakers form. This will have all the basic data related to your talk it will help us manage the process.
A presentation "pull-request": we'll review the presentation in order to aprove its contents and provide any relevant feedback.
Bio submission: in order to help us introduce you to the community and for event communication.
This will help keep things organized well before the actual events occur and validate the relevance of the content for the community. Remember also that the organizers are volunteers, so performing these actions in a timely fashion is very much appreciated.

Do you need a travel agent specializing in Disney destinations?
The types of people who benefit most from having the help of a travel agent that specializes in Disney destinations like Disney World, Disneyland, Disney Cruise line and Adventures by Disney.
For every person who loves researching and planning trips, there is at least one busy person who just doesn't have time to wade through mountains of information and appreciates a disney-focused agent who eats, sleeps & breathes this stuff. For one thing, you don't know what you don't know and first time or infrequent visitors to Disney World find it helpful to have an agent that walks them through the vacation planning process. Not only that, but there is a lot of old and just plain wrong information out there - we focus on the Disney destinations so that you get accurate, up-to-date information.
Hotels and building location requests - Picking a hotel that is a good fit for your needs is just the beginning of what your travel agent can do for you. Most people don't add building location requests to their reservations and we do it for every client. (not guaranteed, though Disney does try). Guests don't always realize that a few Disney hotels don't have elevators which is fine for a lot of people but becomes very difficult if someone in your party has mobility issues or if your drying to carry a sleeping child or stroller up the stairs. We also watch for discounts and promotions and automatically apply the best available offer to your qualifying reservation.
Dining Reservations - people sometimes don't realize the sheer size of Disney World and they'll book dining that has them wasting a lot of travel time or scheduled at times that cause them to miss parades or other priorities - we watch for red flags like that. Not everyone plans a trip six months or more in advance, which is when you can start booking Disney Dining reservations, and they have trouble getting good reservations for their trip. We can help with offering good alternatives and watching for cancellations.
All FastPass+ options are not created equal - for example, not everyone realizes that having a Seven Dwarfs Mine Train or Toy Story Midway Mania FastPass+ reservation is more helpful than any others in those parks and that certain FastPass+ options don't really bring any benefit to the table. We can help guide you through these challenges.
The least expensive option is two standard rooms at any Disney World value resort. You would have a total of 4 double beds and 2 bathrooms. You can also get connecting rooms at several of the Disney World moderate or deluxe resorts but some of the other options we've listed below may be cheaper. In the case of a family with 2 adults and 4 children age 17 or under, you can get guaranteed connecting rooms with an interior door between them. A party with three or more adults can request connecting rooms but they won't be guaranteed connecting rooms though it is worth noting that Disney does have a fair number of connecting rooms and will try to accommodate the request when possible. If you only need three beds, it may be possible to get a room with a king bed that connects two a room with two double beds at the value resorts or two queen-size beds at the moderate and deluxe resorts.
A standard room with two double beds at one of the Walt Disney World Resort value hotels. Rooms with one king bed and connecting rooms may also be available.
The Family Suites at Disney's All-Star Music (ASMu) or Disney's Art of Animation (AoA) can accommodate six. Disney's All-Star Music Resort is generally less expensive than Disney's Art of Animation resort and has 1 queen bed, 1 double sleeper sofa and 2 twin sized pull-outs, along with a kitchenette and 2 full bathrooms. Disney's Art of Animation costs a bit more but is newer and has 1 queen bed, one double sleeper sofa, and 1 murphey-type table bed, as well as a kitchenette and 2 full bathroom.
The family suites at Disney's Art of Animation resort can sleep up to six adults plus one baby in a crib.
The Cabins at Disney's Fort Wilderness Campground sleep six. They have a bedroom with a queen bed and a twin size bunk bed, there is also a murphy bed in the living area. This option only have 1 bathroom but it does have a kitchen with a refrigerator, dishwasher, convection/microwave oven, and two counter top burners. People either love or hate the cabins – I love them! The challenge with the campground is that it is so large and there is an internal bus system so you have to catch a bus that takes you to either the boat to Magic Kingdom or the buses to the other parks, adding additional transportation time.
The bedroom in the cabins at Disney's Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground can sleep up to four guests; two more can sleep on the Murphy bed in the main living area for a total of six adults + up to one baby in a crib.
The two- and three-bedroom villas at the Deluxe resorts are very nice, have full bathrooms, full kitchens, free laundry, in a wonderful resort setting with lots of great amenities. The exact bed configuration may vary by unit size and resort. Keep in mind that 3-bedroom units are excluded from almost every Disney sales promotion and some of the other villas are also often excluded from discounts.
Some of the Disney World deluxe resorts have a limited number of specialty rooms or suites that can accommodate six adults (+ one baby in a crib) but these can be very expensive and have very limited availability. Suites and deluxe rooms are also often excluded from discounts and promotions.
Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge has a couple of 1-bedroom suites that can sleep up to six (6) adults.
Disney's Beach Club Resort does has some 2-bedroom suites - Club Level that can accommodate up to seven guests.
Disney's Boardwalk Resort has Club level - Deluxe rooms that can accommodate up to six adults.
Disney's Wilderness Lodge has Club level - Deluxe rooms that can accommodate up to six adults.
DoubleTree Suites by Hilton - Orlando - Disney Springs has spacious and comfortable suites that can accommodate up to six guests or seven, if the group includes an infant in a crib. These suites feature two (2) queen beds in the bedroom and a sofa sleeper in the living room. This Disney Springs Good Neighbor hotel offers great exclusive Disney benefits like Extra Magic Hours, Early FastPass+ booking privileges, and complimentary transportation to the Disney World theme parks but it does not participate in Disney Magical Express airport transportation.

2018 Free Disney Vacation Planning Video - Every year Disney creates a vacation planning video that you can view online. Just click the image below to request your free copy.
It is a fun way to tell the kids about your Disney vacation plans. This free video provides some great basic information about the Disney World and Disneyland theme parks and resorts but won't help you plan an itinerary that puts you in the best theme park for each day of the trip but don't worry - we'll help you with that when you book your Disney vacation through Build A Better Mouse Trip.
The online version is available in both English and Spanish. If the banner above doesn't work, you can click here to view.

In anticipation of holiday crowds, Disney is opening an hour earlier at some or all of their parks to the general public. This is not an "Extra Magic Hour", this is for everyone whether they stay at a Disney World hotel or not. The Magic Kingdom will have morning "Extra Magic Hour" most days too.
On a scale of 1 – 10, the crowds will be mostly 9's or 10's during these dates.
Early birds get the most rides: The first 1 – 2 hours of the day are always the least crowded. Arrive at least 30 minutes before 8AM park opening to enjoy the shortest lines of the day.
Please, please please use a touring plan: Use the plans from the Unofficial Guide to Disney World (printed guidebook) or get a subscription to TouringPlans.com – these crowd levels are where a good touring plan provides the biggest benefit so please use those plans. Contact me if you don't know where to find the plans or have questions about how they work. I'm happy to help.
Option 1: "I hate all of this ?#&%! Technology!" Service - This service is for people that find it just infuriating that Disney now wants you to set up a "My Disney Experience" account, book dining and FastPass+ online, customize Magic Bands, and download an app. It can be so frustrating, especially if you don't have a teenager handy to do it for you. Book your Disney vacation through us and our agents will happily do almost all of it for you and they'll walk you through anything you absolutely have to do on your own. We even offer the Unofficial Guide to Disney World - a printed guidebook - as a thank you gift option to help with your plans. We still send printed documents and printed copies of the theme park touring plans to you via the U.S. Postal Service and we're happy to discuss your plans and needs over the phone.
Option 2: "I'm Too Busy for All This Advance Planning" Service - Doesn't Disney realize that the kinds of people who go to Disney World have jobs and families? Do they seriously expect you to research resorts, plan every dining reservation six months in advance, research the best FastPass+ options and then book them at midnight exactly 45 days prior to arrival? Who has time for that?!? If you feel this way, you will definitely want to utilize the services of our agents who eat, sleep and breathe this stuff and can do most of it for you. We can help narrow the choices down to those that are a good fit for you and can book dining and FastPass+ on your behalf. Do you mill your own flour or sew all your own clothes? Of course not, and there is no good reason not to let us do the leg work for you, especially since our services are free when you book your trip through us. We'll have everything ready to go when your vacation rolls around.
Option 3: "Help! I'm Trying To Plan Everything For My Extended Family" Service - Group trips can be a wonderful and memorable experience but they do present some very real vacation planning challenges as you try to juggle different ages and different vacation styles. Having a travel agent that specializes in Disney destinations is a huge help in this situation because we really do know the resorts, restaurants, and theme parks very well and we can help you create plans that include everyone's priorities and that address everyone's needs.
Option 4: "I've Already Booked My Trip but Now I'm Overwhelmed!" Service - It is true that our services are completely free when you book your Disney vacation through us but we may still be able to help if you booked your trip yourself. 1) If you booked through Disney less than 30 days ago and have not paid your trip off in full, we can probably still be added as the agent of record on your existing reservation and you'll get all the benefits we offer just as if you'd booked with us in the first place. (2) If that isn't possible, we can look at your needs and let you know the fee for helping with reservations and itineraries.
We can also offer "My Wife Told Me to Plan This Thing" services, "I need a Disney Buddy who is as excited as I am" services, and services for people with allergies or any number of special situations. Just tell us what you need and we'll let you know how we can help.
Build A Better Mouse Trip brings a lot of experience and expertise to your trip. Our agents will help you select the right resort for your budget, plan a great "Best Days" itinerary, help with all your restaurant questions and FASTPASS+ reservations, and provide fantastic theme park touring plans that will keep you ahead of the crowds and out of the long lines. Our services can help you whether you are driving or flying. We book directly through Disney and Universal and we do not charge a fee or service charge of any kind which means that you get every available benefit without paying extra.
One travel agent who really knows Disney World & Universal Orlando and who gets to know you and includes your priorities in every step of the trip planning process.
Expert answers and honest opinions to help you with resort, activity and restaurant selections.
We'll book dining reservations on your behalf - subject to availability.
We'll give you excellent Disney and Universal theme park touring plans that keep you ahead of the crowds and out of the long lines. Click here to read more about touring plans.
Request a quote today – we use the same quote request form for Disney World or Universal Orlando. Just skip any stuff that doesn't apply and one of our agents will be in touch with you soon to help you plan your next adventure. This isn't a commitment, it is just the easiest way to get the conversation started. There's never any pressure and we're always happy to answer your questions.

James Thomson (* 1852 in Edinburgh; † 1927 in Dundee) war ein schottischer Ingenieur und Architekt.

Nach seiner Ausbildung in Edinburgh zog er nach Dundee. Dort wurde er 1906 zum Stadtarchitekten ernannt und war verantwortlich für den Bau mehrerer öffentlicher Gebäude, wie der Caird Hall, der Blackness Library (1906), und des Ward Road Museums (1911). Sein Vorschlag einer Umgehungsstraße für den Ort war seiner Zeit weit voraus. Auch sein Plan einer Uferpromenade mit Markthalle und Dachgarten wurde seinerzeit nicht verwirklicht. 1924 setzte er sich zur Ruhe.

A nonogram is a puzzle in which the objective is to figure out which cells are filled and which cells are empty by utilizing numbers provided at the sides of the grid. By finding information in a row, you get additional information about the respective column(s). You then use this information to find out more about the row(s), et cetera, until the whole puzzle is completed, much like a normal crossword. Usually the filled cells will form a picture of something, like a bird, a telephone, a boat, a king, or a church. But it doesn't have to depict something.
This mistake is easy to avoid, however, if you keep in mind that only overlapping cells that belong to the same cluster should be filled.
