\section{Introduction}
Transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs)~\cite{Dickinson1923, Wilson1969, Mattheiss1973} are gaining a great deal of research interests, especially,  from the past few decades due to their potential applications in the spintronics~\cite{Spaeh1983, Jimenez2012, Wang2012d, Zeng2012,Cheng2014, Cheng2014} and as well in the optoelectronics~\cite{Li1996, Fuhrer2013, Wu2014, Gong2017, Khan2018}  because of their wide range of electronic properties  starting from the metallic~\cite{Neal2014, Zhang2017, Zhang2017a}, to the semimetallic~\cite{Ali2014, Jiang2017, Thirupathaiah2017, Ma2018},  to the semiconducting~\cite{Zheng1989, Lin2014, Hill2016, Salavati2018}, and to the Mott-insulators~\cite{Pillo2000,  Perfetti2006, Zhang2016a},  obtained mainly by the band engineering ~\cite{Mak2010,Kumar2012a, Choi2017}. In addition, the diversity of electronic properties of TMDCs includes the charge density wave (CDW)~\cite{Porer2014, Li2016a}, the magnetism~\cite{Ma2012, Zhu2016, Xiang2016}, and the superconductivity~\cite{Joe2014, Liu2017b, Barrera2018}.

Tunable band gaps in layered TMDCs is one of the major research topics in recent days from both the theory and experiment~\cite{Ramasubramaniam2011, Das2014, Movva2018, Aghajanian2018}. It is known that the band gaps in IVB TMDCs (TiX$_2$, ZrX$_2$ and HfX$_2$, where X = S, Se, and Te) increase with the strain~\cite{Guo2014a}. However, among the IVB TMDCs,  ZrX$_2$ compounds in their monolayer thickness show peculiarity beyond a critical pressure. That means,  instead of an increase in the band gap with the pressure, it starts decreasing with increasing the pressure. On the other hand, the monolayer thickness ZrTe$_2$ transforms from metallic to a semiconductor beyond a critical pressure.  Hence, understanding the pressure effects on electronic structure of TMDCs has a significance in their band engineering~\cite{Feng2014a}.  Specifically, performing ARPES studies under external pressure is a non-trivial method~\cite{Yi2011a, Zhang2012a}. However, studying the electronic structure using ARPES under the application of chemical pressure induced by the substitution of an isovalent atom is highly viable~\cite{Thirupathaiah2011}. So far there exists very few ARPES reports in this direction~\cite{Brauer1995, Moustafa2009, Moustafa2013, Mleczko2017, Ghafari2018}. Moreover, these studies report only the electronic structure of Zr(Se$_{1-x}$S$_x$)$_2$ which are semiconductors. Although several theoretical reports on ZrTe$_2$ predicted it to be a metal~\cite{Reshak2004, Kumar2015, Machado2017}, so far no ARPES study exists on this compound in bulk phase confirming the same,  except that a recent ARPES study on monolayer ZrTe$_2$ deposited on InAs (111) substrate showing linear Dirac states near the Fermi level at the $\Gamma$-point~\cite{Tsipas2018}. Thus, a thorough understanding of the electronic structure of ZrTe$_2$ has other vested interests as well,  whether ZrTe$_2$ is another topological system like ZrTe$_5$~\cite{Whangbo1982,Manzoni2016,Zhang2017b, Shen2017, Xiong2017}. Therefore, ARPES studies on the bulk ZrTe$_2$ are essential to confirm whether ZrTe$_2$ is a simple metal or a topological semimetal as suggested by a recent transport study~\cite{Machado2017}.

\end{figure*}

In this paper, we report on the low-energy electronic structure of bulk ZrTe$_2$ and ZrSe$_2$ using high resolution angle resolved photoemission spectroscopy and density functional theory. On the Fermi surface map of ZrTe$_2$, we observe several well disconnected hole and electron pockets at $\Gamma (A)$ and $M (L)$ points, respectively.  Further, in ZrTe$_2$, we realize three holelike non-degenerate band dispersions near the $\Gamma (A)$ point and an electronlike band dispersion at the $M (L)$. Our DFT calculations predict all hole pockets are composed by the Te $p$ orbital characters and the electron pocket is composed by the Zr $d_{z^2}$ orbital character. An equal number of hole and electron carrier density estimated from our ARPES data using Luttinger's theorem ~\cite{Luttinger1960, Oshikawa2000} suggest ZrTe$_2$ to a semimetal. In addition, our DFT calculations on ZrTe$_2$ in presence of spin-orbit coupling (SOC) predict band inversion between Te $p$ and Zr $d$ characters near $\Gamma$ point, pointing ZrTe$_2$ to a topological semimetal.  On the other hand, in contrast to ZrTe$_2$,  from the Fermi surface topology of ZrSe$_2$ we observe only electron pockets located at the $M (L)$ point, while the hole pockets are noticed well below the Fermi level at a binding energy of $\approx$ 1 eV. Nevertheless, our studies on ZrSe$_2$ are inline with the existing reports that it is a semiconductor with an indirect band gap of 0.9 eV between $\Gamma (A)$ and $M (L)$ high symmetry points~\cite{ Mleczko2017, Ghafari2018, Nikonov2018}. We further discuss the effect of metal-chalcogen bond length on the electronic structure of ZrX$_2$ ( X = Se and Te) and show that the metal-chalcogen bond length is the source of electronic phase transition of these systems from semiconducting to semimetallic.

\section{EXPERIMENTAL DETAILS}

High quality single crystals of ZrSe$_2$ and ZrTe$_2$ were grown by the chemical vapour transport (CVT) technique using iodine as transporting agent~\cite{Schaefer1964}.  In the first step, stoichiometric quantities of elements, Zr (sponge, ≥ 99.9\%, metals basis, Sigma Aldrich) with Se (shot, Alfa Aesar, 99.999\%, metals basis) or Te (ingot, 99.99\%, metals basis, Alfa Aesar), were loaded into  an alumina crucible and subsequently sealed in a quartz ampoule under vacuum. The ampoule was slowly heated to 500 $^{\circ}$C, with a rate of 50 $^{\circ}$C/h, kept there for 5 h and then heated further to 900 $^{\circ}$C. This temperature has been maintained for a period of 2 days, in order to complete the reaction between Zr and the chalcogen (Se/Te). The ZrSe$_2$ and ZrTe$_2$ polycrystalline samples obtained were further used for the crystal growth. The powdered samples were placed and sealed under vacuum in quartz ampoules together with pieces of crystallized iodine (5 mg/cm$^3$). The ampoules had subsequently been loaded in a three-zone furnace, where a gradient of temperature of 100 $^{\circ}$C was maintained between the source (880 $^{\circ}$C) and the sink (780 $^{\circ}$C) zone. After 10 days of transport, many single crystals with dimensions as large as 5mm $\times$ 5mm $\times$ 0.1mm  were obtained at the cold part of the ampoule.  Crystal structure, morphology and chemical composition of the single crystals were determined using X-ray diffraction  and scanning electron microscope equipped with an energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy probe (EDX) (see Figure~\ref{1}). Both the compounds crystallized in the space group of P-3m1 (164), with lattice parameters at room temperature as $a$ = $ b$ = 3.945 $\AA$ and $c$ = 6.624 $\AA$ for ZrTe$_2$ and $a$ = $b$ = 3.766 $\AA$ and $c$ = 6.150 $\AA$ for ZrSe$_2$.

Angle resolved photoemission spectroscopy measurements were carried out at the UE-112 beam-line equipped with 1$^3$-ARPES end station located in BESSY II (Helmholtz zentrum Berlin) synchrotron radiation center~\cite{Borisenko2012a, Borisenko2012b}. Photon energies for the measurements were varied between 30 eV to 110 eV. The energy resolution was set between 10 and 15 meV depending on the excitation energy. Data were recorded at a chamber vacuum of the order of 1 $\times$ 10$^{-10}$ mbar and the sample  temperature was kept at 1 K during the measurements.  We employed various photon polarizations in order to extract the electronic structure comprehensively.

\section{BAND STRUCTURE CALCULATIONS}

The electronic structure of ZrSe$_2$ and ZrTe$_2$ have been calculated within a projected augmented plane wave (PAW) method of density functional theory as implemented in the Vienna Ab-initio Simulation Package (VASP)~\cite{Kresse1996, Kresse1999}. A k-mesh of 16 $\times$ 16 $\times$ 16 was considered for the k-point integration while plane-wave cutoff 700 eV was used for the basis sets. The GGA-PBE approximation to the exchange correlation functional was used~\cite{Perdew1996}. The experimental crystal structures were taken for the starting structural information. A full optimization of the lattice parameters as well as the internal positions was carried out. The optimized in-plane lattice parameter for ZrSe$_2$ was found to be $a$ = $b$ = 3.735 {\AA} and that along the stacking direction $c$ = 6.206 {\AA}. Similarly for ZrTe$_2$, the optimized lattice parameters along the in-plane direction $a$ = $b$ =  3.909 {\AA} and that along the out-of-plane direction $c$ = 6.749 {\AA} were obtained. They represent about 1-2 {\%} deviations from the  experimental values. In order to quantify the electronic structure changes between ZrTe$_2$ and ZrSe$_2$, we carried out a DFT band mapping  onto a tight-binding model using the VASP to Wannier90 interface ~\cite{Mostofi2008, Franchini2012} which had maximally localized Wannier function for the radial parts of the wave function. Zr $d$ and Se/Te $s$ and $p$ states were included for the band mapping.

\end{figure}

Figure~\ref{1}(a) shows the trigonal crystal structure of ZrX$_{2}$.  Figure~\ref{1}(b) shows the projected Zr-chalcogen layer on the $ab$-plane where one can notice each Zr ion is octahedrally coordinated with six Te (Se) ions.  From the scanning electron microscope (SEM) measurements on ZrTe$_2$ and ZrSe$_2$ (not shown) we derived the chemical formulae of Zr$_{1.02}$Se$_{1.98}$ and Zr$_{1.1}$Te$_{1.9}$, respectively,  suggesting that there is a 2\% of Se (excess Zr) and a 10\% of Te (excess Zr) deficiency from the stoichiometric compositions. Such a chalcogen deficiency or excess Zr in these systems generally leads to excess electron carrier density. Nevertheless, from our EDX we noticed that the samples are homogeneous.  As shown in Figures ~\ref{1}(g) and ~\ref{1}(h), we performed X-ray photoemission spectroscopy (XPS) on ZrTe$_2$ and ZrSe$_2$, respectively. Most of the atomic core levels are assigned to their respective binding energies for ZrTe$_2$. However, for ZrSe$_2$, we noticed significant intensity peaks at binding energies of 52 eV and 50.6 eV, pointed by {+} and {$\star$}, respectively, that are not visible in ZrTe$_2$. These peaks are identified as the Iodine 4p$_{3/2}$ ({+}) and 4p$_{5/2}$ ($\star$) states. Note here that Iodine is used as transport agent for growing these crystals, hence, some of the Iodine atoms may have stuck in between the ZrSe$_2$ layers during the crystal growth process. But nevertheless,  as we discuss below presence of Iodine in ZrSe$_2$ has no net effect on its electronic structure. Apart from this, we do not find any other impurity peaks from the XPS of ZrSe$_2$ and as well from ZrTe$_2$.

Figure~\ref{2} shows ARPES data of ZrTe$_{2}$. Fermi surface map of ZrTe$_{2}$ in the $k_x-k_y$ plane is shown in Figure~\ref{2}(a), measured with $p$-polarized light using a photon energy of h$\nu$=100 eV. The Fermi surface has hexagonal symmetry which is consistent with the hexagonal crystal structure.  As can be observed in Fig.~\ref{2}(a) the Fermi surface of ZrTe$_2$ consists of well disconnected Fermi pockets located at the $\Gamma$ and $M$ points. In order to understand nature of these Fermi pockets we have taken the energy distribution maps (EDMs) along the cuts \#1 and \#2 as shown in Fig.~\ref{2}(a). From the EDMs shown in Figure~\ref{2}(b) three holelike band dispersions, $\alpha_1$, $\alpha_2$, and $\alpha_3$,   are found at $\Gamma (A)$ and an electronlike band dispersion, $\beta$, is found at $M (L)$ high symmetry points. From the polarization dependent EDMs as shown in Fig.~\ref{2}(b), with $s$-polarized light we noticed all three hole pockets with reduced intensity for $\alpha_1$ and $\alpha_3$  and high intensity for $\alpha_2$,  whereas with $p$-polarized light we noticed predominantly two hole pockets ($\alpha_2$ and $\alpha_3$). Our orbital resolved band structure (see Figure~\ref{7} and Figure S1 in the supplementary) in the absence of SOC suggest that the hole pocket $\alpha_1$ is composed by Te $p_x$, the hole pocket $\alpha_2$ is composed by Te $p_y$, and the hole pocket $\alpha_3$ is composed by Te $p_z$  character. However, in the presence of SOC the orbital contribution to the hole pockets is more complex as can be observed in Fig.~\ref{7}. Thus, assigning orbital characters to the experimental band structure for ZrTe$_2$ is non-trivial as ARPES detects bands in the presence of SOC. Next, an high intense electron pocket ($\beta$) has been recorded using $p$-polarized light which is composed by the even parity orbital Zr $d_{z^2}$ character. Figure~\ref{2}(d) shows calculated band structure with and  without including spin-orbit coupling. As we can be see from Fig.~\ref{2}(d), three holelike and an electronlike band dispersions are predicted at $\Gamma (A)$  and $M (L)$ high symmetry points. Therefore, calculated band structure is quantitatively in agreement with the experimental data except that the Fermi level needs to be shifted $\approx$ 0.2 eV to high kinetic energy to match with the experimental Fermi level.

Despite being a layered system, we further performed  photon energy dependent ARPES measurements on ZrTe$_2$ to unravel the out-of-plane ($k_z$) band structure. Figure~\ref{3}(a) shows Fermi surface map of ZrTe$_2$ in the $\Gamma M L A$ plane measured with photon energies ranging from 58 to 106 eV in step of 3 eV using $p$-polarized light. Following the equation, $k_z~=~\sqrt{\frac{2m}{\hbar^2}}~\sqrt{V_0 + E_k\cos^2\theta}$,  and with an inner potential $V_0$ = 16 eV, we found that the photon energies 70 eV and 91 eV correspond to the high symmetry points of  $\Gamma$ and $A$, respectively. Figure~\ref{3}(b) shows EDM taken along the $\Gamma - A$ direction as shown by the down arrow in Fig.~\ref{3}(a) extracted by a momentum integration of 0.05 $\AA^{-1}$. From this EDM one can clearly notice that there is significant $k_z$ dispersion in going from $\Gamma$ to $A$ for the hole pocket which has a partial contribution from Zr $d_{z^2}$ along with Te $p_x (p_y)$ under SOC [see Fig.~\ref{7}].  This is further demonstrated using photon energy dependent EDCs as shown in Figure~\ref{3}(c). Figure~\ref{3}(d) shows photon energy momentum dispersive curves extracted from Fig.~\ref{3}(a). We estimated a Fermi vector of hole pocket $k_F \approx 0.09\AA^{-1}$ at the $\Gamma$-point, while a Fermi vector $k_F \approx 0.06\AA^{-1}$ is estimated at the $A$-point. This observation again confirms significant $k_z$ dispersion of the hole pocket.  Figure~\ref{3}(e) shows EDMs from $\Gamma$ (70 eV) and $A$ (91 eV) high symmetry points.  This observation is consistent with our DFT calculations along $\Gamma - A$ direction as shown in Fig.~\ref{3}(f), where one can see a significant $k_z$ dispersion for the hole pocket (green color band dispersion).

Similarly,  Figure~\ref{3}(g) shows $k_z$ Fermi surface map in the $M K L H$ plane measured with photon energies ranging from 61 eV to 100 eV in step of 3 eV using $p$-polarized light. From these data we found that the photon energy 79 eV detects bands from the $M$-point whereas the photon energies 61 and 100 eV detect the bands from the $L$-point. Figure~\ref{3}(h) shows EDM along the $M-L$ orientation and Figure~\ref{3}(i) shows photon energy dependent EDCs taken from Fig.~\ref{3}(h). Figure~\ref{3}(j) shows photon energy dependent MDC curves. We estimate a Fermi vector of $k_F \approx 0.08\AA^{-1}$ for the electron pocket at the $L$-point, while no Fermi vector for the electron pocket is found at the $M$-point. This observation is suggesting that the $k_z$ dispersion of the electron pocket composed by Zr d$_z^2$ orbital character is relatively stronger. Further, in Fig.~\ref{3}(j) we could identify a couple of peaks shown by $\star$ symbol on the MDC curves taken around the $M$ point. These peaks are caused by the reminiscent spectral intensity of the electron pocket from the $L$-point. This is because, in ARPES the photon energy dependent data generally suffers from the $k_z$ resolution due to vertical transition of the photoelectrons. Thus, the $k_z$ dependent ARPES data generally consists of overlapping states in the $k_z$ direction. Figure~\ref{3}(k) shows EDMs from $M$ (79 eV) and $L$ (100 eV) high symmetry points. This observation is consistent with our DFT calculations along $M - L$ direction as shown in Fig.~\ref{3}(l), where one can see a significant $k_z$ dispersion for the electron pocket (green color band dispersion).

Next, ARPES data of ZrSe$_2$ is shown in Figure~\ref{4}. Figure~\ref{4}(a) shows the Fermi surface map measured with a photon energy of h$\nu$ = 100 eV using $p$-polarized light in the $k_x-k_y$ plane. Figure~\ref{4} (b) shows energy-momentum plot of ZrSe$_2$ from DFT calculations. On the Fermi surface, we could identify six Fermi pockets located at six $M (L)$-points in a hexagonal symmetry. On the other hand, we did not find any spectral intensity at the $\Gamma (A)$ point. To further elucidate nature of the band dispersions at the $M (L)$ and $\Gamma (A)$ points, we measured energy distribution maps along the direction as shown in Fig.~\ref{4} (a). Figures~\ref{4} (c) and (d) are such EDMs measured with  photon energy of h$\nu$ = 100 eV using $p$- and $s$ polarized lights, respectively. From these EDMs it is clear that there are three well resolved holelike band dispersions, $\alpha_1$, $\alpha_2$, and $\alpha_3$, near the $\Gamma (A)$-point with the valance band top well below the Fermi level, at a binding energy of E$_B$ $\approx$ -1 eV. On the other hand, we found an electron like band dispersion, $\beta$,  crossing the Fermi level with a Fermi vector of $k_F$=0.06$\AA^{-1}$ at the $M (L)$-point. This electron pocket is almost disappeared when measured with $s$-polarized light as shown in Figure~\ref{4} (d).  The orbital resolved band structure of ZrSe$_2$ (see Figure~S2 in the supplementary) suggests that the holelike band dispersions are composed by Se $p_x$, $p_y$, and $p_z$ orbital characters, while the electronlike band near the $M (L)$-point is composed by the Zr $d_z^2$ orbital character. Thus, the electron pocket is more intense when measured using $p$-polarized light compared to $s$-polarized light as in the current measuring geometry near the Fermi level the  $p$-polarized light detects predominantly even parity orbital characters  like $d_z^2$, $p_x$ and $p_z$ whereas the $s$-polarized light detects $p_y$ character. Figure~\ref{4} (e) shows the sum of EDMs from Figs.~\ref{4} (c) and (d). Figure~\ref{4} (f) is the second derivative of Fig.~\ref{4} (e). From Figs.~\ref{4} (e) and (f) we estimated an indirect band gap of 0.9 eV between the top of holelike (valance) band, $\alpha_1$,  near the $\Gamma (A)$ point and the bottom of electronlike (conduction) band, $\beta$, near the $M (L)$-point. These observations are in good agreement with earlier ARPES studies on this system, i.e., ZrSe$_2$ is a semiconductor with an indirect band gap~\cite{Moustafa2009, Moustafa2013, Mleczko2017, Ghafari2018}. In addition, near the $M (L)$ point, from the ARPES data a bright spectral feature has been noticed at a binding energy of -0.3 eV [shown by red arrow in Fig.~\ref{4}(c)], which is not predicted from our DFT calculations. But similar spectral feature has been observed in an earlier ARPES report on ZrSe$_2$~\cite{Ghafari2018}.

 Top panels in Figure~\ref{5} (a) show photon energy dependent EDMs taken at the zone center using $s$-polarized light.  Similarly, bottom panels in figure~\ref{5} (a) show photon energy dependent EDMs taken at the zone center using $p$-polarized light. From the EMDs of both polarizations, we do notice three well resolved hole pockets at the zone centre. As discussed above, the $p$-polarized light should detect two holelike bands composed of the even parity orbitals $p_x$ and $p_z$ and the $s$-polarized light should detect one holelike band composed of odd parity orbital $p_y$. But since the crystal is not oriented in any high symmetry direction, the photoemission process does not follow the parity dependent selection rules and moreover the orbital contribution to the low-energy band structure of ZrSe$_2$ under SOC is more complex. Hence, we do see all three bands from both $p$- and $s$- polarized lights. Top panel in Figure~\ref{5} (b) shows photon energy dependent EDCs taken at $k_{\|}$=0 from the EDMs of $s$-polarized light. Similarly, bottom panel in  Figure~\ref{5} (b) shows photon energy dependent EDCs taken at $k_{\|}$=0 from the EDMs of $p$-polarized light. From the EDCs shown in Fig.~\ref{5} (b) one can clearly see that the three holelike bands are well separated. For instance from the EDCs of 40 eV in Fig.~\ref{5} (b), one peak has been observed at a binding energy of 1.4 eV, corresponding to the top of holelike band $\alpha_3$. Another two peaks have been observed at binding energies of  1.1 eV and 0.93 eV, corresponding to the top of holelike bands $\alpha_2$ and $\alpha_1$, respectively. Similar observations were made with 50 eV photon energy. However, when measured with 60 and 80 eV the band separation is not that clear due to either the matrix element effects or $k_z$ dispersion. Figure~\ref{5} (c) shows EDMs of the electron pocket measured using $p$-polarized light with 60 eV  and 70 eV. Figure~\ref{5} (d) shows momentum dispersive curves extracted near the Fermi level from the EDMs of Fig.~\ref{5} (c). From the MDC of 60 eV we estimated a Fermi vector of $k_F \approx 0.05 \AA^{-1}$, while the MDC of 70 eV shows no Fermi vector for the electron pocket. This suggest that the electron pocket composed of Zr $d_{z^2}$ character has significant $k_z$ dispersion in ZrSe$_2$.

\section{DISCUSSIONS}

Despite sharing the same trigonal crystal structure, the low-energy electronic structures of ZrTe$_2$ and ZrSe$_2$  are clearly differing from one another. ZrTe$_2$ has a metallic band structure with overlapping valance and conduction bands at the $\Gamma (A)$ point, composed by Te $p$ and Zr $d$ orbitals, respectively. On the other hand, ZrSe$_2$ has a semiconducting nature of the band structure with an indirect band gap of E$_g$=0.9 eV between $\Gamma (A)$ and $M (L)$ high symmetry points, with the valance and conduction bands composed of Se $p$ and Zr $d$ orbitals, respectively. In agreement with a previous ARPES report on ZrSe$_2$~\cite{Ghafari2018},  a tiny spectral feature near the $M (L)$-point at a binding of 0.3 eV has been observed. This feature is more intense when measured with $p$-polarized light than the $s$-polarized light, suggesting that it is composed by an even parity orbital. However, experimentally we are unable to pin point its band dispersion neither to electronlike nor to holelike. Moreover this feature is not predicted from the DFT calculations, thus cannot be of the intrinsic origin. As the XPS data of ZrSe$_2$ (see Fig. 1) shows Iodine peaks, perhaps, this Iodine impurity could be a plausible source of this strange spectral feature in ZrSe$_2$ than the back-folding of the bands from $M (L)$ to $\Gamma (A)$ as suggested by Ref.~\onlinecite{Ghafari2018}. Moreover, an earlier ARPES study on ZrSe$_2$ showed Fermi level lying in between valence and conduction band~\cite{Nikonov2018}, whereas from our study we found that the Fermi level is moved to the conduction band. This could be due to the Se deficiency in ZrSe$_2$ as observed from the EDAX measurements, which is giving rise to the net electron doping.

Spin-orbit coupling seems to be significantly effecting the low-energy electronic structure of these compounds. Especially, in ZrSe$_2$ the DFT calculations without SOC suggest two of the three hole pockets are degenerate, i.e.,  the two hole pockets composed by  $p_x$ and $p_y$ are degenerate while the third hole pocket composed by $p_z$ is well separated from them. On the other hand, the ARPES data of ZrSe$_2$ show three well separated hole pockets near the $\Gamma$ point. This can only reproduced in DFT calculations with the inclusion of SOC. In addition, the ARPES data of ZrSe$_2$ suggest a SOC splitting of hole pockets to as high as 0.17 eV. This observation is in very good agreement with the SOC split size of 0.16 eV for the same hole pockets reported by an earlier ARPES study on ZrSe2 ~\cite{Moustafa2013}. On the other hand, our DFT calculations with SOC only produced a SOC splitting size of 0.085 eV (see Fig.~2).

We further would like to show our DFT calculations [see  Figure~\ref{7}] on ZrTe$_2$ in which we identify a band inversion between Zr $d$ and Te $p$ states at the $\Gamma$ point. As discussed above,  in ZrSe$_2$ a clear separation is noticed between the valence and conduction bands composed by Se $p$ and Zr $d$ states, respectively. On the other hand,  in ZrTe$_2$,  the Zr $d_{z^2}$ state comes closer to the valance band and in fact touches the valance band at $\Gamma$. Further, in the presence of SOC we observe clearly a band inversion in ZrTe$_2$ in such a way that the Te $p_y$ state moves up to the conduction band, while the Zr $d_{z^2}$ moves further down to the valance band. As a result, a band gap of 10 meV is noticed [see inset in Fig.~\ref{7}(b)].

Next, coming to the discussion on the electronic structure of ZrTe$_2$, for the first time we report here the ARPES studies on bulk ZrTe$_2$. An earlier existing only ARPES study is on monolayer thickness ZrTe$_2$ film deposited on InAs (111),  suggesting a Dirac like linear bands at the $\Gamma (A)$ point~\cite{Tsipas2018}. Interestingly, our DFT calculations predict a band inversion between Zr $d$ and Te $p$ states at the $\Gamma (A)$ point, hinting at a possible non-trivial band structure in ZrTe$_2$ despite experimentally failing to detect any linear Dirac surface states. Furthermore, with the help of in-plane and out-of-plane  ARPES data and Luttinger's theorem~\cite{Luttinger1960, Oshikawa2000} we calculated the number of hole and electron carriers enclosed by the hole and electron Fermi pockets. Our calculation results to hole carrier density n$_h$ = 0.003 per unit cell (1.1 $\times$ 10$^{19}$/cm$^3$)and electron carriers n$_e$ = 0.0026 per unit cell (0.95 $\times$ 10$^{19}$/cm$^3$). Our estimated electron carrier density value is very close to the value of the order of 10$^{19}$/cm$^3$ reported for Cu$_{0.3}$ZrTe$_{1.2}$~\cite{Machado2017}, but much higher than the value of 5.07 $\times$ 10$^{15}$/cm$^3$ reported for ZrTe$_2$~\cite{Bhavsar2011}. In any case, carrier density reported in Ref.~\onlinecite{Bhavsar2011} is rather pointing ZrTe$_2$ to a semiconductor, while ZrTe$_2$ is widely known as a metal as also confirmed by the present study. Equal number of hole and electron carrier density as derived from our ARPES data in addition to the band inversion as seen from the DFT calculations is suggesting that ZrTe$_2$ is  a topological semimetal.

Finally, in order to understand the electronic structure changes from semiconducting to a topological semimetal in going from ZrSe$_2$ to ZrTe$_2$, we mapped the ab-initio band structure of these systems onto a tight-binding model. At first, the band structure of these systems obtained from tight binding model has been compared with the band structure derived from the DFT calculations. Thus, a good description of the ab-initio bands has been noticed as shown in the Figures~\ref{6} (a) and (c). As Se is more electronegative than Te, the Se $p$ states are expected to be deeper than the Te $p$ states. Indeed, our results for the extracted on-site energies show this trend (see supplementary information), with the charge transfer energy being smaller by 0.175 eV for ZrTe$_2$ than ZrSe$_2$. We then went on to question if it is this difference in the on-site of the energy of ZrSe$_2$ led it to a semiconductor, while ZrTe$_2$ is semimetallic. This is then addressed by setting up on-site energies in the tight-binding model for ZrSe$_2$ equal to those extracted for ZrTe$_2$. The derived results are shown in Fig.~\ref{6}(b). While a small change is found in the bandgap of ZrSe$_2$ compared to DFT calculations, the semiconducting nature retains. These observations suggest that the smaller Zr $d$ - Se $p$ bond length of 2.69 $\AA$ in ZrSe$_2$ leads to a larger $p-d$ hopping interaction strength in ZrSe$_2$ compared to ZrTe$_2$. Thus, the bandgap in ZrSe$_2$ can be understood in terms of a bonding-antibonding gap arising from the Zr $d$-Se $p$ hybridization. Here, the valence band states are the bonding states whereas the conduction bands are the antibonding states. So, an increase in the $p$-$d$ hopping strength is expected to increase the energy gap between valance and conduction bands. A similar analysis was carried out for ZrTe$_2$ using the on-site energies of ZrSe$_2$. As derived band dispersions are shown in Fig.~\ref{6}(d).  However, the band gap in ZrTe$_2$ was not open up. Hence, it is the smaller Zr $d$- Te $p$ hopping interaction strength associated with the longer Te $p$ - Zr $d$ bond of length of 2.89$\AA$ which does not allow ZrTe$_2$ to become semiconductor.

\section{CONCLUSIONS}
In conclusion, we systematically studied the low-energy electronic structure of ZrTe$_2$ and ZrSe$_2$ using angle resolved photoemission spectroscopy and density functional theory calculations. ARPES data of ZrTe$_2$ suggest several well disconnected hole and electron pockets at $\Gamma (A)$ and $M (L)$ points, respectively. From the ARPES data of ZrTe$_2$, we realize three holelike non-degenerate band dispersions near the $\Gamma (A)$ point and an electronlike band dispersion at the $M (L)$ point. The experimental observations are in good agreement with the DFT calculations. An equal number of hole and electron carrier density as estimated from our ARPES data suggest ZrTe$_2$ to a semimetal. In addition, the DFT calculations of ZrTe$_2$ in the presence of spin-orbit coupling suggest a band inversion between Te $p$ and Zr $d$ characters near $\Gamma$ point, hinting ZrTe$_2$ to a topological semimetal.  On the other hand,  from the Fermi surface topology of ZrSe$_2$ we observe only the electron pockets located at $M (L)$ point, while the hole pockets are noticed well below the Fermi level. Our studies on ZrSe$_2$ further suggested it to a semiconductor with an indirect band gap of 0.9 eV between $\Gamma (A)$ and $M (L)$ high symmetry points. Our calculations further demonstrate that the metal-chalcogen bond-length plays a vital role on the electronic structure changes of ZrX$_2$ ( X = Se and Te) in such a way that an electronic phase transition takes place from semiconducting to topological semimetal in going from ZrSe$_2$ to ZrTe$_2$.

Today is actually my first time linking up with Halie for From Firsts to Lasts! I know, I feel like a bad friend. She's been hosting this link up with Hallie for awhile now and I just never got around to joining in on the fun! Today that changes!
My first date with my fiance was the best first date ever. That's why we're getting married. It honestly wasn't anything crazy or exciting but we hit it off so well that I couldn't wait to see him again afterwards. M.E. asked me out via text (read our love story about how we met on our wedding page!) and I met him at a local restaurant. He was there early and I arrived late, he barely ate any of his meal and the conversation never slowed down. After dinner we went down the street to an Irish Pub and had a couple of beers, just talking and talking. He walked me out to my car when it was time to leave and we still argue to this day who initiated that first kiss. Le sigh, it was perfect.
My first date success also is with my fiance.
Loved reading your wedding page!
That date success story is tooo cute!
Such a cute first date story! And I love your "first major" story. So funny! At least you tried a lot of things so you know what you really enjoy! :) Stopping by from the link up!
Did you go to both UCF and FSU? Me too! I'm from Orlando and started at FSU and then transfer to UCF. Oh I also changed my majors three times as well.


Professor Nicholas Pickwoad started his presentation with his discovery of a two volume Histoire by Jean LeClerc, printed in Amsterdam in 1723, which contained neither boards nor covers. His first guess was that certain book blocks were withdrawn unfinished from a binder's workshop; however, regarding this collection's history, he became convinced that these two volumes were part of long-established practice which books were prepared for sale by being sold in a condition ready for 'conventional binding', sometimes with or without boards attached but always without covers.
In a lively and informal lecture, Dr Adam Budd presented new research on the early careers of two important figures in Scottish cultural history, George Drummond (six times Lord Provost of Edinburgh) and Andrew Millar (the important London-based Scottish bookseller).

Q: MySQL inserting thorough an array I have a MySQL table called season
I'm getting data from a PostgreSQL then store it inside my array and then i use the implode function to pass the data stored inside the array:

$season = array(
        'asset_id' => $asset_id,
        'number' => $season_number
    );
$season_col = implode(', ', array_keys($season));
$season_values = implode(', ', array_values($season));

Then I insert:
$insert_season = mysqli_query($conn, "INSERT INTO season(".$season_col.") VALUES(".$season_values.")");

This is one of 6 tables where i'm inserting data, and the problem is that when I run the code it does not insert all the data at once, I have to reload the page several times before it's all inserted.
I also must add that the tables are all Interconnected with foreign keys, and also i tried disable the foreign key check and it did nothing for me.
I also do a check in php for repeated and nonexistent data:
$check_for_season = mysqli_query($conn, "SELECT asset_id, number FROM season WHERE asset_id = ".$asset_id." AND number = ".$season_number." LIMIT 1");
        if (mysqli_fetch_array($check_for_season)) {
            echo "Updates data";
        } else {
            $insert_season = mysqli_query($conn, "INSERT INTO season(".$season_col.") VALUES(".$season_values.")");
        }
    }

A: My educated guess would be that you encounter SQL error mid-execution could be due one of table's columns defined not to except certain values like 'NOT NULL' for instance. the execution would terminate if you try to pass $season['number'] = '';
Try to check SQL errors in your mysqli object.
Also try to wrap your values in quotes.
$season_values = implode("','", array_values($season));
$insert_season = mysqli_query($conn, "INSERT INTO season(".$season_col.") VALUES('".$season_values."')");

to avoid errors when passing empty values.

A: You can use this code to dynamically create query.
$conn = new PDO('mysql:host=' . $HOST . ';dbname=' . $DATABASE, $USERNAME, $PASSWORD);
$conn->exec("set names utf8");
$conn->setAttribute(PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE, PDO::ERRMODE_WARNING);

$ins_query = 'INSERT INTO `' . $table_name . '` ';

$columns = array();
$columns_bindings = array();
foreach ($dataArray as $column_name => $data) {
    $columns[] = $column_name;
    $columns_bindings[] = ':' . $column_name;
}

$ins_query = $ins_query . '(' . implode(', ', $columns) . ') VALUES (' . implode(', ', $columns_bindings) . ')';

$stmt = $conn->prepare($ins_query);

foreach ($dataArray as $column_name => $data) {
    $stmt->bindValue(":" . $column_name, $data);
}
if (!$stmt->execute()) {
    print_r($stmt->errorInfo());

} else {
    echo "Insertd";
}

Although no breakthrough has happened in nuclear fusion since it was hailed as the clean energy source of the future in the 1970s, there are reasons to be optimistic now, writes Scott L. Montgomery of the University of Washington. There have been advances in technology, two large reactors are being built and a dozen startups have become active. "The dream of fusion power now seems certain to neither die or remain merely a dream." Courtesy The Conversation.
Then, scientists hit a milestone in 1994 when the test fusion reactor at Princeton set a new record for peak power of 10.7 megawatts, which The New York Times said at the time was "enough to power 2,000 to 3,000 homes momentarily, meaning roughly a quarter of a second. Scientifically, that event had great importance, though it was topped in 1997. Yet it hardly promised a power reactor just around the corner.
One of the two big reactors is a donut-shaped tokamak – a Russian acronym for a Soviet invention made in the 1950s that was designed to confine and compress plasma into a cylindrical shape in a powerful magnetic field. Powerful compression of the deuterium-tritium plasma at extremely high temperatures – as in about 100 million degrees Centigrade – causes fusion to occur.
ITER (Latin for "the way") is a collaboration between the European Union and the governments of India, Japan, South Korea, Russia, China and the U.S. This consortium is now spending more than US$20 billion to build a giant tokamak in southern France. By 2035, it's slated to generate 500 megawatts while operating on just 50 megawatts. Meeting that goal would essentially confirm that fusion is a feasible source of clean energy on a large scale.
Meanwhile, nearly a dozen startups are designing new kinds of reactors and power plants they say can come online long before and far more cheaply – even if the requisite technology isn't there yet.
Fusion Power is still the guture of power, but the design of the prefered construction. Today we prefere to use the existing fusion reactor which delivers more than enough power for all of us every day, by simply adding the missing generators for electric power to the system. Much easier, much cheaper, much cheaper.


Cholera is a contagious acute disease characterized by lesions of the small intestine, a violation of water-salt metabolism, varying degrees of dehydration because of fluid loss with watery feces and vomit. Refers to the number of quarantine infections. Pathogen is called Vibrio cholerae existing in the form of curved rods which dies after boiling for 1 minute. Some biotypes long persist and multiply in iodine, in the mud and among the inhabitants of water organisms. The source of infection is a person both the patient and the carrier. Vibrios are excreted either with feces or vomit. Epidemics of cholera are known being caused by water, food and mixed with susceptibility to cholera is being rather high.
Cholera is periodically extended to many countries and whole continents, claimed millions of lives and the last pandemic disease began in 1961. So far the epidemiological situation of cholera in the world remain tense and annually infects up to several thousand people. In South and South-East Asia and some countries in Africa with the African continent recorded more than half of cases. There are endemic foci of cholera epidemics occur periodically.
Symptoms are very diverse starting from an asymptomatic carrier state to severe dehydration states with sharp and lethal. When treating patients with cholera is very important to care for the sick. In the ward for patients must be maintained impeccable cleanliness, the strict disinfection regime. It should eliminate all impacts which can irritate patients and adversely affect their nervous system. Those need special care for the skin and mucous membranes of the mouth as well as eyes, urinary and sexual organs. The wards must be maintained sufficiently high temperature.
Treatment of patients with cholera should necessarily be in the specialized infectious hospitals. The sooner treatment is started, the better results and fewer opportunities for the development of complications. The first treatment is aimed at compensation for the loss of fluid and salts, the correction of metabolic disturbances and suppression of vital activity of the vibrios.
Number of injected liquid should be about 10% of the patient's body weight.
The solutions injected heated to 38 – 40 C°. The introduction of the first 2 – 4 liters is a drip rate of 5 – 10 ml / min. Then produce a more accurate calculation of solution, which depends on fluid loss from the vomit and feces.
In mild form of disease with dehydration I – II degree held oral rehydration, for this purpose using a glucose-salt mixture "Oral".
If necessary, oral rehydration can be carried out through the probe. Emerging sometimes vomiting is not a contraindication for rehydration.
In addition to rehydration therapy, antibiotics required. The most frequently used tetracycline in doses of 0,3 – 0, 5 grams 4 times a day for 5 days. You can apply chloramphenicol in a quantity of 0,5 g every 6 hours for 5 days.
Vibriocarrier takes 5-day course of antibiotics. During the period of cessation of vomiting, the patient is allowed to eat slimy soups, porridge, yogurt, the butter, vitamins, as a rule, special power of cholera patients is not required.

Absolutely amazing luxury boutique hotel in Arles. There are only 11 rooms and it is a bit hard to find if you are driving but it is well worth the stay. The staff is fabulous and so accommodating. They have a beautiful courtyard where you can relax, swim or have breakfast, and a very inviting den where they will make you a fire so that you can enjoy a morning coffee or an evening night cap. Every recommendation for dining and exploring that the staff made were perfect. We stayed in 6 different hotels during our 2 weeks in France and this was number one.
Hotel is great and service makes it seem like the entire hotel is just for you. Of the 3 hotels we stayed at (all 5 star), this one was the best overall. Only complaint was that the wifi on my phone seemed not to work most of the time.


If diamonds are indeed a girl's best friend, then the diamond-shaped monogram is at least a good buddy. And much like a good buddy, this shirt is comfortable to be around for prolonged periods of time, and doesn't mind doing the stuff you like. Unless the stuff you like includes being itchy and neck tags, because you won't find any of that here.

The director shall thereupon issue an order of notice, requiring notice to be given, to the policyholders of a mutual company and stockholders of a stock company, of the pendency of the petition, and the time and place at which the same will be heard, by publication of the order of notice in two daily newspapers designated by the director for at least once a week for two weeks before the time appointed for the hearing upon the petition; and any further notice which the director may require shall be given by the petitioners.

The director, if satisfied that the proposed acquisition or disposition was properly approved after notice as required by the articles and bylaws of the company or companies, and that the interest of the policyholders of the company or companies is protected, and that no reasonable objection exists as to the acquisition or disposition, and that the acquisition will not tend to substantially lessen competition or create a monopoly, shall approve and authorize the proposed acquisition or disposition. All expenses and costs incident to the proceedings under this subsection shall be paid by the company or companies bringing the petition.
3.

4. (1) The provisions of this section shall not apply to the acquisition or disposition by purchase, sale or otherwise of not less than the majority of the stock of any insurance company domiciled outside of the state of Missouri, if the consideration involved in such acquisition or disposition does not exceed the following threshold:
(a) With respect to an insurance holding company, so long as such consideration does not exceed the lesser of three percent of its consolidated assets or twenty percent of its consolidated stockholders' equity as of the thirty-first day of December of the preceding year according to its consolidated balance sheet prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and audited by independent certified accountants in accordance with generally acceptable auditing standards; or

LUIS ENRIQUE: the former Barcelona coach is in HOT DEMAND, now, at struggling Chelsea and European glory-hunting PSG.
The mega-rich French club have the ex-Barcelona boss on their list of targets as they plan a managerial change in the summer.
And Enrique, 47, has been strongly linked with the Chelsea job with boss Antonio Conte under threat.What is clear is that, whatever PSG do if they sack Unai Emery, it looks like impacting on the Premier League.
Emery is unlikely to survive in Paris after they were knocked out of the Champions League last week at the last-16 stage by holders Real Madrid.
PSG are eyeing Enrique and also Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino, but Tottenham are confident they will not lose their manager as they prepare to move into their new stadium next season.
France's top club have also been linked with Chelsea's Conte and have a long-standing interest in Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho.
But that one looks to be a non-starter with Mourinho having signed a new contract at Old Trafford at the beginning of this year.

Überblick
In Werden leben  Einwohner () auf einer Fläche von 4,04 km². Werden bildet mit Heidhausen und Fischlaken den Postleitzahlenbezirk 45239.

Einige Straßennamen in Werden sind teilweise Jahrhunderte alt, stellten jedoch, bevor sie amtlich wurden und der Nummerierung von Häusern dienten, Lagebezeichnungen dar. Seit 1860 sind erste offizielle Namensgebungen bekannt. 1897 befasste sich eine Kommission, bestehend aus den Herren Albert Mittweg, Landmesser Schmidt und Wilhelm Wittköpper, mit der offiziellen Namensgebung und von Straßen und der straßenweisen Nummerierung von Gebäuden. Deren Vorschlag wurde durch Bürgermeister Johann Emil Trapp am 10. Mai 1898 in Kraft gesetzt. Seitdem existiert in Werden die straßenweise Nummerierung. 1929 wurde Werden zur Stadt Essen eingemeindet.

Der Stadtteil wird, im Norden beginnend, im Uhrzeigersinn folgendermaßen begrenzt: Ruthertal, Schuirweg und Wolfsbach zu Schuir, Kanonenberg und Ruhr zu Bredeney, Markenstraße, Vogtei, Zimmermannstraße, Umstraße, Viehauser Berg, Hildegrimstraße, Weinberg zu Fischlaken, Kellerstraße, Steinbeck, Unterer Pustenberg, Grüne Harfe, Klemensborn, Brandstorstraße und Ruhr zu Heidhausen, Kettwiger Stadtwald und Ruhrtalstraße zu Kettwig.

In Werden gibt es 109 benannte Verkehrsflächen, darunter acht Plätze. 21 Straßen davon befinden nur teilweise im Stadtteil: Die Velberter Straße bildet in ihrem weiteren Verlauf die Grenze zwischen Heidhausen und Fischlaken, fünf Straßen führen nur weiter nach Fischlaken (Hardenbergufer, Markenstraße, Viehauser Berg, Weinberg, Zimmermannstraße), vier werden in Heidhausen fortgesetzt (Kellerstraße, Klemensborn, Laupendahler Landstraße, Mintropstraße), die Steinbeck bildet außerdem teilweise die Grenze nach Heidhausen. Ruthertal, Rutherweg, Schuirweg und Wolfsbachtal werden in Schuir fortgeführt, Am Heissiwald, Am Korintenberg, die Bredeneyer Straße und der Wilhelm-Bernsau-Weg führen in Bredeney weiter. Die Ruhrtalstraße sowie in ihrem weiteren Verlauf die Laupendahler Landstraße führen nach Kettwig.

Durch Werden verlaufen folgende Landes- und Bundesstraßen.

Exactly What Did The IRS Want To Know? : It's All Politics As part of its inappropriate scrutiny of conservative applicants for tax-exempt status, the IRS wanted copies of tweets and personal information about board members.
Exactly What Did The IRS Want To Know?

Eric Wilson, head of the Kentucky 9/12 Project, portrays a representative of the tyrannical kingdom as he talks to children on the first night of Vacation Liberty School at a church in Georgetown, Ky., in 2010.
What would you do if the IRS wanted to see your interactions on social media?
At least one Tea Party group in Ohio received just such a request. As part of a broad inquiry for information about the group's activities after it had applied for tax-exempt status, the IRS wanted details about how the Ohio Liberty Coalition promotes or publicizes itself on social media such as Facebook.
And that's not all the IRS wanted to know. Among other things, Tea Party groups say they were asked for printed copies of every Web page, Facebook status update and tweet they'd published; complete lists of attendees of all their meetings; and lists of relatives of board members.
The former head of the Ohio Liberty Coalition, Tom Zawistowski, says he recognized that these types of requests were "onerous, invasive and politically motivated." He held conference calls addressing the matter last year with other Tea Party leaders around the country.
It turned out that dozens of other groups — 298, according to the Washington Post — were undergoing similar scrutiny.
The IRS also wanted copies of any news coverage the groups had received, as well as the names of all speakers at meetings and narrative accounts of those meetings. Oh — plus, transcripts of speeches and all handouts.
"There were 88 inquiries in this letter," says Eric Wilson, co-chairman of the Kentucky 9/12 Project. "We knew immediately it was overreaching."
Addressing that many questions, Wilson says, cost thousands of dollars and required countless hours of manpower.
He found this out the hard way. He refused to comply with the IRS's request, but the American Center for Law and Justice, which represented the targeted groups on a pro bono basis, wanted to see the Facebook printouts and all the rest to make sure they truly were not needed to file for tax-exempt status.
"It was 5,000 pages," Wilson says. "There was weeks of work from multiple people with our organization on a volunteer basis."
On April 1, the Kentucky 9/12 Project received a letter from the IRS granting the group 501(c)(4) status. The one-paragraph document offered no explanation for the 2 1/2-year delay in granting tax-exempt status, Wilson says.
That letter also did not include an apology, but the IRS has since offered a blanket apology for inappropriately scrutinizing applicants with conservative leanings.
"We are not accepting the apology of the IRS and we do expect a full investigation," says Yvonne Donnelly, national chair of the 9/12 Project.
Zawistowski notes that he went public with his complaints about the IRS targeting more than a year ago, writing a letter that drew some attention in the conservative media.
He's disappointed that the issue has taken this long to receive broader attention.
"The same information was out a year ago, yet people were not as outraged as they should have been," he says.


I would like to wish a Happy 2013 to everybody.

Les Guthrie, former Saskatoon StarPhoenix circulation representative for the North Battleford region, invited the News-Optimist to publish some of his life stories. Guthrie wrote some of his stories down in a small book and is sharing them with readers. Guthrie spent 36 years with the StarPhoenix and many years in North Battleford. Many of his stories detail life in and around North Battleford during a time many, now, are unaware of.
Les Guthrie, who currently resides in Harwood Manor in North Battleford, wrote a short book of stories detailing some experiences he had after the Second World War.
Guthrie, who will turn 100 in October, began working as a circulation representative for the Saskatoon StarPhoenixand stayed with the newspaper from 1946 to 1982.
Guthrie was born to Samuel and Maimie Guthrie in 1918 on the family homestead northwest of Swift Current. The family moved to Eston in 1919 and Saskatoon in 1925.
"While in Grade 12, I got a part-time job with the Saskatoon StarPhoenix sports department. Upon graduation I continued with this part-time job until I got a full-time job in a furniture store as an apprentice upholsterer, which also meant selling when the store was busy. I eventually decided that to make more money I would have to get a better paying job.
"I got a job in a grocery store, a grocery warehouse and the Canadian National Railway.
"I served in the army during the war. Some years later, after receiving my commission from the navy, I served several years as a Sea Cadet Officer. In 1946, I got a job with the StarPhoenix as circulation representative for North Battleford and the towns in between, which meant a move to North Battleford. Part of this job required me to transport the afternoon edition of the paper to North Battleford, which meant having to buy a vehicle.
"There was a shortage of cars in 1946, as they were not produced during the war. I bought a 1936 International half-ton panel truck and started on my 36-year newspaper journey. The driver's seat was propped up with a board and a box served as a seat for a passenger. It didn't have a jack. Fortunately my brother was in the tire business and was able to get a jack for me. I didn't have a spare tire. When I had a flat tire I would take it off and bum a ride into town, get it repaired and then bum a ride back to my truck. The truck did not have a metal roof, but a treated canvas one. When it rained it leaked.
Weather heavily affected how Guthrie could do his job. Highways at the time weren't like they are now, as, Guthrie wrote, they were often two lanes of gravel without shoulders.
Some stories detail roundabout ways Guthrie delivered newspapers after his vehicle would malfunction or get stuck, or how he would help people out of those same situations. In the spring, parts of the highway could become, as Guthrie puts it, "big mud holes." Sometimes Guthrie delivered newspapers with the help of the train.
"My agent in Ruddell owned the hotel. He was a real character. He would stand on the corner with a big gold watch in his hand and inform me if I was late or early. One day he showed me through the hotel. I was amazed at the size of the kitchen, which contained a huge stove. We went into the room that had been the bar. It looked just like the bars in the old Western movies. There was a big mirror behind the bar and a brass foot rail. As I had been told that Charlie could fix anything, I took notice that the bar was covered with all kinds of things waiting to be fixed.
"One night I was driving into Saskatoon when the car broke down about a mile from Ruddell. I walked into Ruddell to see if Charlie could be of any help. He said that we might as well wait until morning, so off to one of the hotel bedrooms I went.
Blizzards were also an occupational hazard.
"The storm kept getting worse and by the time I got to Langham the visibility was so bad that I decided to stop. I took my papers to the railroad station and made arrangements for them to be put on the train for North Battleford. When I went to check into the hotel I could hardly see the lampposts across the street.
"There was a girl sitting with us in the lobby and she asked how the bedrooms were heated. One of the men asked if she had seen the metal grate in the floor in the middle of the hall. She said she had. He explained to her that was where the heat came from. She then wanted to know how the bedrooms were heated. He explained that you keep your door open. She replied that she couldn't do that.
"It was later found out that her door was half open the same as the rest.
"Later that evening as we were sitting in the lobby, two men came in and said that they had to have a meeting and they needed [the hotel manager] to form a quorum. He said that he couldn't go. They came a second time and got the same answer. Getting the same answer on the third visit they asked him why. He replied that he had to open the beer parlour or he would lose his licence, and the hired man couldn't get into town because of the storm.
Guthrie married Marjorie Clark in 1949 and together they had three sons.
Guthrie was also involved in the Kinsmen Club, K-40, Associated Canadian Travellers, Band Parents Association and the Navy League of Canada. Provincially, he was on the executive of the Navy League of Canada and the swimming association.
Guthrie worked in two North Battleford elections, one he covered for the Canadian Press and the other as an assistant to the returning officer for the advance poll. He ran for the public school board, but wasn't elected. He was also master of the Ionic Lodge Masons and president of the Battlefords Shrine Club.
Coaching was also part of Guthrie's life as he coached hockey for seven years, was assistant coach and manager of the swimming club for seven years, coached and managed the speed skating club for five years and was chairman of speed skating for the 1977 Saskatchewan Winter Games. Guthrie was also a member of the Legion and served on the United Church board of stewards.
Guthrie also took photographs, and some can be found on his walls at Harwood Manor, along with other activities.
Guthrie keeps his stories in a brown envelope that features the names of the people who read them.
His 100th birthday celebration will take place Oct. 6 at Harwood Manor.
