Reason #959 to Start a Business
IN: Business 101
Employment freaks me out.
It's hard to imagine putting all of your intellectual, emotional, and physical energy into a company – with nothing to show for it at the end of the day. Or, the end of your life.
Maybe a savings, if you were disciplined enough, or a 401K, but aside from that, you're left with a former title and a few keepsake peppermint candies.
That's because when you're living off a salary that someone else grants you, you don't own your lifestyle–you rent it.
It's in this same vein that freelance work freaks me out.
While you seem to be working for yourself, what you're really doing is working for any clients you can get. In other words: Everyone else, except for yourself.
The big problem with this revenue model is that when you dry up, your business doesn't just dry up–it dies. So you're still left with nothing…except maybe a balloon from the mental ward. Do they still use the term? Mental ward? (I sort of like it.)–
And then you've got a third option: Start your own business.
Except here, a "business" doesn't just refer to a transient and highly dependent (read: needy) means of generating revenue (freelancing); it refers to a business that, if left to its own devices, can still run itself.
Without you there, slaving over the cauldron every moment of every day. (Another money word–cauldron. When's the last time you used that in a sentence?)
This isn't a novel concept. It's something that's often discussed in the business world. What isn't often discussed, however, is why it's so damn important. (Because if it were, more people would feel a sense of obligation to themselves to make it happen.) A few of my whys:
You don't want to end up in the mental ward.
You'd like a semblance of a life.
You don't want to live by everyone else's deadlines.
If go visit Aunt June, she'll be pissed if you're on your laptop the whole time.
It'd be nice to have some equity in the world.
Your self-actualization will go through the roof.
Your income isn't directly related to the number of "billable hours" you work–they're all fucking billable.
Business growth isn't directly related to your exhaustion.
You now own an asset…instead of being an asset. (As long as you do it right.)
You'll have leverage. And leverage makes the world go 'round.
Here in Costa Rica
…I've been (humbly) approached numerous times by separate business owners who want me to do work for them. To help them market themselves. To write for them. In sum, to help them build their businesses and make money.
The question, of course, becomes: How will doing that help me build my business and make money?
The answer: It doesn't.
In fact, doing work for them would cause me to lose money, because it would pull me away from building my own companies. My own assets. My own wealth.
This mentality is crucial.
You've got to be meticulous when it comes to your business decisions. Which are the ones that will thrust you forward? And which are the ones that will hold you back?
But what if I really wanted to help those business owners? And what if I wanted to do it in a way that didn't hold me back? Is it possible?
But it involves a different approach.
Instead of scrambling to expend my limited resources (time, energy, money, etc.) in helping each business owner build his/her own assets, I would be much better served by building my own asset (think: a website dedicated to Costa Rica that drives traffic) – and then allow them to benefit from it as, say, advertisers, for example. And guess what? They'd be better served, too.
That's the difference between spotting an opportunity versus merely taking an opportunity.
And it's also the difference between being in business, and merely doing business.
Because when you do business, you make money.
But when you're in business?
You make a lot more than money.
You make a life.
One where having your cake, singing in the rain, and stopping to smell the roses aren't just metaphors.
…They're how you live.

BWW Review: AIDA at the John W. Engeman Theater
By Melissa Giordano
Closing out The John W. Engeman Theatre's dazzling season is a thrilling a showing of Elton John & Tim Rice's Aida. The beautiful Northport venue outdoes itself with the lush production of the heart-tugging musical. Excellently directed by Paul Stancato, the cast is remarkable drawing the audience in at every turn.
Running through June 23rd, the tale is about love, loyalty, and betrayal. We follow the love triangle between Aida, a Nubian princess stolen from her country, Amneris, an Egyptian princess, and Radames, the soldier they both love. The soaring score only clinches why this show is a Tony Award winner.
Kayla Cyphers is exquisite in the titular role. In particular, her heartbreaking performance of "Easy As Life" doesn't leave a dry eye in the house. Ms. Cyphers makes a fantastic team with Ken Allen Neely, who skillfully portrays Radames. They carry the audience on an emotional roller coaster as the forbidden love of Aida and Radames grows. Also, Jenna Rubaii is stellar as Amneris, the Egyptian princess to whom Radames has been betrothed. Her performances of "Every Story Is A Love Story" is truly captivating. The full company is genuinely brilliant.
On the talented creative team, Michael Bottari & Ronald Case design the fantastic set. Rolling pieces and everyone contributing make for seamless scene changes. The atmospheric and sometimes chilling lighting by John Burkland enhances the visually moving show. Add in Kurt Alger's costumes, and you have a very touching production.
It's evident that Aida at Long Island's John W. Engeman Theatre is a must-see for this season. In true Engeman fashion, they do not disappoint. An emotional tale and a superb cast make for a very stirring night of theatre.

Times of Huntington-Northport Review
Theater Review: Engeman Theater's 'Aida' is a gift from the gods
By Heidi Sutton
The sands of ancient Egypt have blown into Northport as the Engeman Theater presents the timeless love story "Aida" through June 23. With music by Elton John, lyrics by Tim Rice, and book by Linda Woolverton, Robert Falls and David Henry Hwang, the musical is based on Giuseppe Verdi's 19th-century opera of the same name.
The Egyptian pharaoh (Julius Chase) wishes to expand his reign beyond the Nile and orders Egyptian captain Radames to make war with neighboring Nubia. In his travels, Radames captures a dark and beautiful Nubian princess, Aida, and presents her as a gift to his fiancé of nine years, Princess Amneris. Over time he finds himself falling in love with Aida and begins to question the course his life should take.
When a plot orchestrated by Radames' father Zoser (Enrique Acevedo) to poison the Pharaoh is brought to light and Radames and Aida's forbidden love is discovered, Princess Amneris is tasked with deciding their fate. Without giving away the ending, let's just say that breaking ancient Egyptian laws never ended well.
Costumes by Kurt Alger are gorgeous, from Princess Amneris' many gowns and headpieces to the Pharaoh's royal garbs. The set, designed by Michael Bottari and Ronald Case, is adorned with hieroglyphics, palm trees, an occasional stream and a rotating platform that is utilized in many ways including as a ship, a throne and a prison cell.
Kayla Cyphers is perfectly cast as Aida, a enslaved princess stolen from her father, Amonasro (Gavin Gregory) and trying to stay strong for her people. "Nubia will never die! Whether we are enslaved or whether we are far from our native soil, Nubia lives in our hearts. And therefore, it lives." Regal and strong-willed, she commands the stage in every scene.
We see the most change in Radames, expertly played by Ken Allen Neely, from a selfish cold-hearted man to a hopeless romantic who just wants to run away with his Nubian princess.
Jenna Rubaii is divine as the materialistic Princess Amneris, "first in beauty, wisdom … and accessories," and draws the most laughs — "Are you trying to get me drunk, Radames? You know it's not necessary," and special mention should be made of Chaz Alexander Coffin who plays Mereb, a Nubian slave. From his first appearance on stage Coffin quickly becomes an audience favorite.
The musical numbers are the heart of the show, from the highly charged dance numbers, "Another Pyramid" and "Dance of the Robe," to the fun fashion show "Strongest Suit" and the romantic duets "Written in the Stars" and "Elaborate Lives."
Director and choreographer Paul Stancato has such a wondrous and mysterious time period to work with and he takes full advantage of it, creating an exciting and colorful show with a first-rate cast of actors-singers-dancers and live band to produce a wonderful evening of live theater.

'Aida' review: It flows as beautifully as the Nile
By Barbara Schuler
When Disney optioned a children's book based on Verdi's majestic opera "Aida," the intention was to turn it into an animated film. But after "The Lion King," Elton John wasn't keen on another movie, so the project went straight to becoming a musical, running on Broadway for more than four years but rarely done in regional theaters.
And with good reason. Despite the pedigree of its creators — music by John, lyrics by Tim Rice with David Henry Hwang ("M. Butterfly") contributing to the book — "Aida" has never been able to make up its mind about what it wants to be. Campy parody? Tragic love triangle? Diatribe on slavery?
Let's just acknowledge it was gutsy of the John W. Engeman Theater to give "Aida" a shot — and happily the risk paid off. The Northport theater's production is a stunner, making the most of this problematic musical with an extraordinary cast and lofty production values.
Mostly it works because of the impressive performance of Kayla Cyphers in the title role, powerfully sung with a stirring combination of vulnerability and strength. With an old Egyptian myth at its heart, the show opens in a contemporary museum, with visitors wandering an exhibition about Amneris, "the female pharaoh."
In an instant, time travels backward and we're in ancient Egypt, where army captain Radames (an appropriately conflicted Ken Allen Neely) has captured a group of Nubian women, among them the king's daughter, Aida. There's instant attraction and an immediate problem: He's engaged to the pharaoh's daughter Amneris (Jenna Rubaii, smartly playing the pampered princess to the hilt, though she eventually sees the light and denounces the oppression inflicted by her people). For the necessary comic relief, Chaz Alexander Coffin delights as Nubian slave Mereb.
The story unfolds in predictable fashion, with John's music ranging from the expected piano pop rock to Motown to full out gospel. Director-choreographer Paul Stancato has fun with an anachronistic vision of Amneris singing an ode to her wardrobe that ends with a fashion parade highlighting the creative work of costumer Kurt Alger. It plays out on the massive stone set by Michael Bottari and Ronald Case, brightened with lovely, atmospheric lighting by John Burkland.
Remember, this is based on an opera, so there's no happily ever after, unless you believe in reincarnation. In the end, we're back in the modern museum, where a couple looking awfully familiar meets cute in front of a diorama of Amneris. To steal from another Disney epic, it's a tale as old as time.

Aida – John W. Engeman Theater
By Jessica Kennedy
The John W. Engeman Theater in Northport has selected a timeless story of love, deceit, passion, and loyalty with Aida– winner of four Tony Awards with soul-stirring music by Elton John and Tim Rice. Directed and choreographed by Paul Stancato, this tremendous performance will have you talking about it long after the curtains close.
A tale of star-crossed lovers is a favorite romantic trope; however, this cast of characters and their struggles make this heart-rending tale about much more than love at first sight. When the Nubian Princess, Aida- played flawlessly by the captivating Kayla Cyphers- is stolen from her home and forced into slavery, she hides her true self in order to stay alive. Her encounters with the Egyptian warrior Radames, played exquisitely by the charming Ken Allen Neely, soon make it harder for her to guard her identity- and her heart. All the while Radames is betrothed- and not to just anyone- to the Egyptian Princess Amneris, played by the dynamic Jenna Rubaii. Will Aida succumb to her love for Radames, or choose her love of country above all? Will Radames risk his status and security for a forbidden love that could never truly be? This rapturous tale reveals a plot full of passion, love, betrayal, and pain- and you won't want to miss a minute of it!
The Engeman Theater always puts on a beautiful show, and this performance is no exception. While talent abounds on stage- Cyphers, Neely, and Rubaii create a painfully beautiful love triangle that is genuine and layered- there are countless other elements that make this performance practically perfect! The Creative Team for this show deserves a standing ovation for their artful construction and portrayal of both modern day and Ancient Egypt. Scenic Designers Michael Bottari and Ronald Case not only impress with a set that swivels and turns, but the dramatic set changes from scene to scene are incredibly fluid. John Burkland's lighting design adds both drama and subtlety to the scenes in a way which compliments and amplifies the superior talent of the performers. Speaking of talent- it abounds in this performance from start to finish! Jenna Rubaii's portrayal of Amneris is both hysterical ("My Strongest Suit") and heartbreaking ("I Know the Truth"); Chaz Alexander Coffin's version of Mereb is both light and witty, while his performance of "How I Know You" (Reprise) will have you on the brink of tears. Enrique Acevedo's nefarious evocation of Zoser will leave you in stunned wonder of a man's capacity for power and vanity with his vigorous and spirited renditions of "Another Pyramid" and ""Like Father, Like Son." However, nothing will move you more than the tragically touching interaction between Aida and Radames (Cyphers and Neely) as they struggle to hold on to a love they know is fleeting ("Elaborate Lives" and "Written in the Stars").
This show is quite simply a must see! It runs from May 9th- June 23rd, so grab a ticket and let Aida take you to another time and place- where love is layered and deep- and will always lead you back to the people and places you keep close to your heart.

Orange Strawberry Agua Fresca recipe shared by Nikki from MyNutriCounter.
Agua Fresca or Agua de Frutas is a distinct trait of the Mexican beverage culture. There is no distinct English name for this light-bodied refreshing drink. So it could be translated as fresh, cool or fruit water, but one thing is for sure is that it is hugely popular in Mexico and even in the US. Traditionally made of sweet local fruits, herbs, spices and water, Agua Fresca is sold in large barrel-like glass containers in numerous bodegas and eateries across Central America. Its main purpose is to quench the thirst and to refresh the palate between consuming incredibly spicy dishes from the Mexican cuisine.
The oranges in our Agua Fresca recipe have been proven to be an excellent food source of active phytochemicals like vitamin C, folic acid, carotenoids and flavonoids. One 2005 year study suggests people who consumed orange juice for 3 weeks had significant levels of these nutrients in the blood and an improved cholesterol index as well. Oranges are rich in beta-cryptoxanthin, the carotenoid antioxidant compound playing a certain role in eyesight health, growth and immune response.

Has anyone an idea why an interactive session would be successful but a command execution not?
Has been haunting me for months now because I cannot use unison to sync my files any more (it used to work). Any help much appreciated.

A: We fixed this by adding adding -n (to redirect std in from /dev/null) and -t (force pseudo-tty allocation)
Example:
ssh -t -n user@host command

A: Your problem most likely lies in your shell startup or shell logout scripts. Without knowing what's in there, it's hard to guess the actual problem.

A: The problem was indeed my login script, although not to do with requiring a terminal (I'd suspected that and tested with the -t and -T options). The problem was that my .bashrc was running an exec (in this case to zsh - because our system doesn't allow chsh to zsh).
The offending line:
test -f /usr/bin/zsh && exec /usr/bin/zsh

Solved by first checking for interactive shell and exiting if so:
[ -z "$PS1" ] && return
test -f /usr/bin/zsh && exec /usr/bin/zsh

So, essentially, because the shell was execing into zsh, ssh was waiting for this to finish - which never happened.
I am a little confused why my .bashrc was being called at all - I thought this was only for interactive shells, but the exact purpose and order of the various init scripts is something I don't think I'll ever learn.
I hope this can be useful to others who have some kind of exec in their startup scripts.
BTW - the other two answers were on the right track so I was completely unsure if I should 'answer' or just comment their answers. If answering my own question is morally wrong on stackoverflow, let me know and I'll do penitence. Thank you to the other answerers.

A: I recently encountered a problem with the same symptoms, but determined that the issue was not a problem in my login scripts.  Rather, my local .ssh/config file was configured with RequestTTY force for the host that I was trying to copy to.

A: Check for commands in your shell startup files (I would assume ~/.cshrc from your prompt; in a non-interactive session, ~/.login shouldn't matter) that require a terminal for some reason.

A: I had this problem on fedora server 22, after the resolution of other new problems.
ssh -t ziimp /bin/true was ok but not ssh ziimp /bin/true and all my git+ssh and scp were locked.
The solution i found was in the authorized_keys file. I had to remove the command="/usr/bin/bash" prefix from my trusted keys...

A: I eventually found the "$-" var which works for me:
if [[ $- =~ i ]] ; then
    [ -x /bin/tcsh ] && exec /bin/tcsh
    # Bash startup stuff goes here...
fi

Mary I, bloodiest bitch in history?
Mary I has been remembered by history as 'Bloody Mary'. The woman who burned her own people alive, ruthlessly lead her country into pointless religious upheaval and basically turned England into a clusterfuck of sadness and fear. But was Mary really that bad? Let's find out!
Queen Mary I – One of history's most evil women?
Mary kicked off her reign with the execution of Lady Jane Grey.
Now I'm sure we can all (hopefully) agree that the beheading of an innocent teenage girl isn't a winning start to your Queen career.
It is however worth pointing out that it's more than arguable that Mary's hand was forced in this; with continual attempts to make Jane queen and Mary's hold on the throne more than shaky, Jane was way to dangerous to keep alive.
Yet Mary really didn't want the teenager to die. Desperately attempting to spare Jane's life by trying to diagnose Jane as pregnant (Jane wasn't pregnant FYI and she was pretty pissed at Mary trying to get her internally examined)
In the end Mary saw no way out. For her to be Queen (and also alive!) heads had to roll.
Sadly, logic (however bleak!) does not prevail when you're faced with a headless innocent 16 year old who is immediately martyred. And so starts the story of the woman labeled one of history's biggest bitches.
To be fair, you don't win friends with executions
The first born child of Henry VIII, Mary grew up in a happy little bubble. Her dad loved her, her mum (Catherine of Aragon) loved her; she was intelligent and her future was looking pretty damn bright. And then the divorce hit.
If you have divorced parents, then I'm sure you understand how rough a divorce can be on a child. But just incase, lets break this down:
Imagine that your dad is so desperate to divorce your mum he invents a whole new religion to do it (which btw turns your strict catholic upbringing on its head!). Then dad ships mum off, to essentially live in exile.
Then new mummy (Anne Boleyn) makes it clear that she'd be more than pleased if you and your mum were executed, but as that's not happening any time soon, you'll be stripped of your titles and made to basically serve your new baby sister (Elizabeth).
Oh…and then your dad stops speaking to you, your mum dies (obvs you're banned from seeing her on her death bed) and then to top things off, new mummy is beheaded.
THERE IS NOT ENOUGH THERAPY IN THE WORLD TO WORK THROUGH THAT SHIT!
Somehow Mary turns out ok. She is super overly religious (Catholic of course, because fuck Dad's new home wrecking religion!) and not a ton of fun, but she's also determined, smart and a functioning adult. It could have been worse!
Mary and her dad start talking again and by the time he dies she is once more a Princess and eligible to the throne – should her brother die…
And what do you know, he does die!
Once Lady Jane Grey is out the way, Mary ascends the throne aged 37. The people are happy, Mary is happy, it's all good. Well, apart from a few small problems.
You see, Mary was determined to return England to Catholicism, this can't happen with Mary's half sister Elizabeth (a protestant!) next in line to the throne. But as Mary was unmarried with no kids, Elizabeth was almost guaranteed the crown. So Mary set out to get herself a man….and so began her many problems
Problem no 1: The Foreign Husband
Mary quickly snagged herself a hot (and crucially, catholic) betrothed – Prince Philip of Spain. Sadly, for Mary, the English people hated him.
The English did not like Spain, it was foreign and they did not get on with it at all. They were certainly not happy with having a new foreign King telling them what to do and wanted nothing more than for Philip to pop back on his little boat and kindly fuck off back to Spain.
Worse than this casual xenophobia, the protestants were uprising. Afraid of what this catholic power couple would mean for them, a rebellion soon sprung up.
Life lesson: if your marriage causes a literal revolt, maybe have a little rethink.
Obviously Mary got married anyway. She was determined to get married, get up the duff and save England from the protestants and restore Catholicism. Fuck popularity, this was the lords work.
The happy couple, Mary and Philip
So a few months into her reign and Mary had 'get a husband' crossed off her to do list. Now all she needed to do was pop out a baby…easy right?
Problem 2: Kids
In Tudor England it was a woman's job to have babies. In fact, it was a woman's only job: Have all of the babies…ideally boys.
It seems simple but Mary knew differently. She had seen countless women fail at this, her mother included and she knew that without an heir, any work she did would be for nothing.
The pressure was very real.
But imagine the boxes are like, babies…or something..
And then it happened. Mary fell pregnant.Her stomach grew, she felt her baby kick, she even had the joys of morning sickness. But the baby never came.
Mary was so desperate for a baby that her mind had created one for her.
It's now believed that Mary was suffering from pseudocyesis, a rare condition where a person experiences the symptoms of pregnancy, believing themselves to be pregnant, when there is no child. The condition may be caused by trauma (which for Mary would make sense!) and is treated with ongoing intensive therapy.
But Tudor doctors didn't know about pseudocyesis, or therapy. Mary was on her own.
The fear that Mary must have felt is just incredible. She would have felt like she was both losing her grip on reality and her power. So it's no surprise then that Mary doubled down on her third problem:
Problem 3: Restoring the faith
The whole burning people alive…thing
Mary believed that the only way to bring England back to Catholicism, was to publically punish protestants. She invoked old laws to persecute popular protestants (bishops, arch bishops, preachers, you name it!)
During her short reign, just under 300 people were sent to the stake for the crime of not being catholic. That's, innocent men, women and children, all burned alive.
No matter what her intentions and reasoning, no matter how hard Mary believed she was actually 'saving' these souls, burning people alive is unforgivable. It's beyond not ok.
Remember, horrifying murder is never the answer.
And yet…. Mary wasn't the only one to burn her people.
Her Dad (Henry Vlll) brother (Edward Vl) and sister (Elizabeth l) all also burnt subjects at the stake and the reasoning for many of these deaths religion based.
This isn't to excuse anyone's actions – it's too point out that everyone was a dick when it came to this and that this 'punishment' was pretty standardized for the era (yeah; turns out Tudor England is a pretty crap place to live)
On the whole, Mary was actually a lot less execution happy than the rest of her family! With her Dad raking up more executions per year on average than Mary did.
In fact, Mary pardoned a lot of people (more than anyone else in her family!) believing in reprieves and forgiveness, she was known to offer many a last minute pardons as people were about to be executed.
Yay for executing slightly less people than anticipated!
So is she histories bloodiest bitch?
Look, it's time we dropped the 'Bloody Mary' label.
In history we have a habit of labelling, especially when it comes to women. In the tudor era alone we've had callous six fingered bitch Anne Boleyn, sex kitten whore Katherine Howard, Virgin Queen Elizabeth; we know that when we dig beneath the labels we find something so much more interesting, and actual person!
So was Mary evil? No. Now, she wasn't lovely either – you wouldn't want to get a drink with her (mainly because I reckon she'd drone on when drunk). Mary was a person, she had a troubled childhood that shaped her, a history of mental illness and dogged determination that led to so much heartache. She's an interesting woman and well worth another look.
This was interesting! Where can I find out more? I'm going to suggest, Anne Whitelock's Mary Tudor: England's First Queen, it's a thoughtful read and tries to understand why Mary had her world view.

Anne of Cleves so much more than the 'ugly' one
Anne of Cleaves has a historically bad rap, this is in no small part because she will forever be remembered as Henry VIIIs 'ugly' wife; 'the Flanders Mare'. Which seems pretty bullshit:
A) have you seen Henry VIII????
B) why are we still putting a woman's entire worth on how fuckable Henry VIII found her?
Anne was an incredibly amazing and accomplished woman, she was smart, shrewd and is far and away the wife I'd most like to have a pint with (sorry Anne B)
Seriously though, this bitch is so underrated!
Anne grew up the awkward middle child, both on Europes political stage and at home.
Princess to a small and only occasionally useful duchy, Anne was told that the only thing she would ever achieve was to be a good-ish wife.
Her older sister was a famous beauty who was soon married off, her younger sister was also beautiful and witty, her older brother was an arsehole, but a semi-successful one…and Anne was just there, under the family thumb, getting on with her wife studies and waiting to be told what to do and where to go.
Sadly for Anne, Her family decided the best place for her was on the arm of this ass hat
Henry VIII was on the hunt for wife number 4. With one wife divorced and essentially exiled, one beheaded and one dead, his dating profile wasn't great. So it's unsurprising that Europes princesses weren't exactly tripping over themselves to marry this obese ageing megalomaniac.
But that wasn't an issue for Annes family!
Anne and her younger sister had portraits taken and sent to Henry (sort of like ye olde Tinder)
Henry was immediately taken with Annes portrait and the description of her. Sure enough, Anne was picked to be Henrys bride and her passage to England was set.
For her part, Anne was thrilled. Finally she'd get away from her oppressive family and get to live her own life!
Hooray! Anything had to be better than Anne's family…right……right?
But there were issues. For one, Anne couldn't actually speak English, which is a bit of a worry when you're off to go be Queen of England. She also didn't know anything about music or dancing, which were Henrys favourite past times. Plus she hadn't actually been raised to be a Queen.
Sure, she was a Princess and yes she'd been raised to be the best darn wife she could be…but she was princess of a tiny duchy and only ever expected to marry a Duke or maybe a low level Prince. Being Queen of one of the worlds biggest powers was a different thing entirely!
But Anne wasn't a quitter. She spent the long journey to England trying to pick up the language and customs and learned games that Henry liked. She was aiming to wow!
And then she got there….
Henry was both a tyrant and a romantic, a combination that basically guarantees dickery.
True to dick form, he decided to don a disguise to meet his new bride, sure that their love would be so strong, she would immediately see through the rouse and leap into his arms.
Obviously this didn't happen…
Instead Anne patiently ignored the overweight sweaty man as he pawed at her and tried to get her attention. She was waiting to meet the King and neither wanted to engage with or offend this new unwanted admirer.
And then the guy kissed her and Anne stepped back in shock. Because, well you would. This was too much for Henry. He threw off his disguise and stormed out the room, leaving a confused Anne in his wake.
The damage was done, the marriage was in ruins before it even began.
yeah…so not exactly ideal…
Still though, the Henry and Anne had to tie knot! The wedding was set, Henry well versed in what to do and well…it would have been embarrassing not to.
So in 1540 Anne and Henry were married.
But the pair didn't consummate the union.
Rumours soon spread that Anne didn't actually know what sex was. She told her ladies that she had 'laid' with the King and thought she might be pregnant – despite openly acknowledging that the two had just kissed.
This is where the question comes in:
Was Anne smart or just super naive?
Look, cards on the table – yes it is likely that Anne wasn't, er…as well versed in sexual conduct as she should have been.
She came from a strict and religious upbringing and it is very likely that her mum neglected to tell her about the birds and the bees as much as she should have done, especially considering her daughter was being shipped off to go make babies.
This aside though, I reckon Anne was pretty bloody on it!
Anne knew that her marriage was heading for the rocks. She understood that this was a very dangerous situation and that if not careful she would possibly be dead or ruined in a few months time.
So Anne played the game. She learnt from past players mistakes (she wouldn't argue back or push for reform and change like Anne B and Catherine. Though she shared a lot of their personality traits (determined, spirited and vocal) Anne worked hard to play this down for the volatile King Henry.
portrait possibly of Anne of Cleves
During her short reign as Queen, Anne of Cleves implemented no major changes.
This will be the only time I ever say this, but…doing absolutely nothing was the best thing she could have done!
Being docile and impassive guaranteed her survival. Perhaps that's not making any inspirational posters, but it's true and it worked…
Remember kids, don't do anything and you probably won't get beheaded!
That's not to say Anne didn't occasionally show her true self. Once when discussing Henrys daughter Mary and her marriage prospects, Anne was (gasp) open and frank in her opinions.
This didn't go down well and soon Henry was loudly complaining about Anne's stubborn and wilful nature.
After this incident Anne made sure to double down on her docile rouse and soon She looked on track to escape this marriage with her head. Win! But that wasn't the only thing she wanted.
Anne wanted independence
Anne hadn't known independence before coming to England. She had been strictly under her Mum and brothers control.
She had thought that marrying the King of England would be the shot at independence that she had longed for…but instead she'd become a shadow of herself as she tried to appease a tyrannical super dick.
With this marriage coming to a close, Annes future was up in the air.
The English court was soon full of gossip, Would Henry find her anouther husband? Would she live the rest of her days as a nun? Perhaps she'd be sent back to her family?
Not on Anne's watch! She had no intention of once more living under anyone else's rule.
Anne was determined to finally be an independent woman.
shame on you if you're not singing along
Though she was expecting it, Anne was still devastated when she was told Henry wanted a divorce. There was a lot on the line and suddenly everything felt very real.
But she quickly regained composure and determined to not repeat Catherine of Aragons mistakes, Anne complied with all of Henrys wishes.
However she was resolute on staying in England. She had started to realise the full level of her disgrace should she return to Cleves and genuinely feared that her brother may kill her in retaliation for her failure as a wife.
Shit was very real and time was running out.
Henry demanded Anne send him her written agreement to his offer of a divorce. But Anne needed more time to think and make sure she was completely safe…so she refused Henry Vlll. Steadfast that she would only speak to the King in person.
This is either really smart or reeeeeeally dumb
It was a big gamble, but it paid off. The marriage was annulled (saving Anne from divorce and offering her a little bit of dignity) she also received a generous lifelong yearly pension and the new title of 'Kings Sister'; her status at English court would be higher than any other lady.
With her place in English court locked down, Anne made one more brave decision.
She decided not to get married.
This was – to put it mildly – a fucking ballsy move.
In Tudor England an unmarried woman was a cause for pity, a divorced and unmarried woman was a cause for pity, scorn and a side of 'what's her problem?'
But Anne didn't care what anyone thought, she wanted her independence. So she ignored the whispers and wore her new title of 'kings sister' with humor and grace.
She visited court regularly and became a popular and beloved figure. She was given land and property, where she set up a home for herself and spent the next 17 years living the life she chose.
Finally, Anne was free.
This was really interesting, how can I find out more? Now, I've never found a book on Anne that truly digs deep and does her the historic justice she deserves. But I live in hope, Josephine Wilkinson did an incredible -and waaaay overdue – book on Katherine Howard last year, so maybe one day we'll get the Anne C book of our dreams.
Until that day, I'd suggest reading Six Wives by Alison Weir. It's a great place to start getting more in depth looks at all of Henry Vllls wives.

Jane Boleyn: History's biggest bitch?
Jane Boleyn was a bitch – or so history tells us
Centuries on from her execution she remains one of the most vilified figures in history. Opinion of her can be pretty much summarised by Historian C Coote:
'The infamous lady Rochford… justly deserved her fate for the concern which she had in bringing Anne Boleyn, as well as her own husband, to the block.'
Aww remember the good old days when historians could openly celebrate the brutal execution of people…
Cootes opinion isn't a one off. You see, Jane is famed with bringing about the downfall and eventual execution of her husband George Boleyn and his sister, Anne Boleyn. With Jane giving false evidence which led to Anne, George and 4 other courtiers execution.
And it's not only that! Just a few years later Jane would be embroiled in yet another royal scandal; aiding and abating the treasonous affair between Thomas Culpepper and Henry Vllls young wife, Katherine Howard. This was a scandal Jane couldn't survive and she, Culpepper and Howard all met with the executioners axe.
It's all this that had made Jane Boyleyn history's favourite conniving bitch.
But is that right? Does Jane deserve to be vilified by history? As historic research keeps getting better, we're seeing more and more cracks in what we know about Jane Boleyn. What was once hard fact is starting to look fictitious. Which raises the question – did Jane Boleyn actually do any of the things she has been demonised for?
Sketch believed to be Jane Boleyn
Did Jane kill Anne Boleyn?
The most common story tells us that spiteful and jealous, Jane gave false evidence that sealed the fates of Anne Boleyn, George Boleyn and 4 other unfortunate courtiers.
Jane told the court that Anne was having affairs all over the place…even with her brother. This effectively nailed down 6 people's coffins.
Woah, hold up with the hate – let's dive into the evidence!
Here's the thing: the facts on this one are pretty bloody shaky at best! There's little surviving evidence in both sides of the argument.
Which makes working out if Jane did effectively kill 6 people, detective work to the extreme.
Seriously, its like putting together a jigsaw thats on fire.
Here's what we know:
We know that several of Anne's ladies were asked to give evidence at her trial. To refuse was not an option (unless you fancied joining the rest of your pals at the execution block) Jane was part of this number.
We also know that during the trial one of these ladies gave false evidence that Anne and George had a more than platonic relationship. But no name is given as to who this woman was.
In the account of Imperial Ambassador Chapuys, the only description of the woman is this:
'That person'
Super helpful Chaps!
But don't worry, at his trial George Boleyn mentions the woman who sealed his fate, so maybe theres something useful there:
'On the evidence of only one woman you are willing to believe this great evil of me'
'Woman' ….yeah not that helpful either George.
See what I mean, the evidence isn't top notch thus far!
So, left without a name or a description, how the hell can we possibly work out who gave this evidence?
Well we can hazard a guess at who would have been most likely to be privy to this kind of information.
On that level, it's not looking great for Jane.
As sister in law and confidant she would be best placed to hear of/witness an affair – but remember the evidence is false – so the question is this: though Janes neck is quite literally on the line here, would she lie to this extent when:
She has the most to lose
The families of people convicted of treason didn't tend to live out the rest of their days skipping through a field of daisies.
Yes, execution really was the worst punishment. But the potent decades of shame, poverty and even prison that the families of the accused had in store was also pretty shitty.
With her husband and sister in law convicted of treason in such a scandalous way, Jane stood to lose a lot.
The Boleyns high position of power, their titles and lands all disappeared overnight and as she and George hadn't popped out a son she wasn't entitled to his fortune.
Jane did get to keep her title (Viscountess Rochford) but without a place at court, lands or a fortune it was kind of useless.
Yup being married to a convicted traitor sucked!
It should also be noted that Jane wrote to George when he was awaiting his execution. And his reply didn't contain the words:
'Fuck you bitch, I'm totally going to die because of you'
In fact his reply was nice, which suggests he didn't blame Jane for his death.
George and Anne's Dad also appears to have been in the same camp; arranging a yearly small pension for Jane.
Armed with this pension, Jane convinced Thomas Cromwell – the Kings right hand man and key player in the Boleyn downfall – to offer her financial and social support. With this in place, she returned to court and started to try and claw her way back into a good position.
Her hard work paid off and Jane served Jane Seymour until Seymours death and then her successor, Anne of Cleeves.
She started to get back in Henry's good books, performing a role in Seymours funeral and giving evidence to help Henry divorce Anne of Cleeves (because being nice to Henry Vlll involves a lot of deaths, wives and court proceedings.)
But then all Janes hard work turned to shit.
Enter Katherine Howard!
As she had with the two previous Queens, Jane also served Henrys new young bride, Katherine Howard (who was a relative, through Jane's marriage to the -deceased- George Boleyn)
Jane quickly become Katherines confidant and soon the two women became embroiled in a secret so great that it would end both their lives.
The story goes that Jane and Katherine worked together to hide the new Queens relationship with one Thomas Culpepper. A favourite of the King and Katherine's cousin. with Jane acting as secret keeper and go between.
But the relationship didn't stay in the shadows for long. Katherine and Culpepper were caught and accused of adultery. Soon they, along with Jane, were sent to the Tower of London to await their fate.
Yeah, Jane has literally 0 luck
Now, hiding a Queens affair seems like a monumental fuck up on Janes part and hardly fits in with the behavior of someone trying to regain the Kings favour and move on from their scandalous past.
But as with everything in this story – it's not that simple!
We've previously discussed Katherine and how new evidence suggests that her affair with Culpepper was less affair and more abuse and blackmail dickery.
To summarise: Katherine had a hidden past of sexual abuse; a past that would put her marriage at risk if Henry ever discovered it. It's likely that Culpepper discovered this and was blackmailing Katherine (for sex, for power, etc.)
Culpepper was not a nice guy, he was a known rapist and murderer and volatile as fuck. Basically not someone you want to be around.
So maybe Jane got involved in the situation because she wanted to gain the trust of the new Queen, maybe she just felt bad and wanted to help. whatever it was that led her to make that choice, once Culpepper knew of Janes involvement it would have been near impossible for her to back out.
Yup as always with Jane, it's a monumentally shitty situation!
Personally I think this really puts pay to the picture of Jane as a master manipulator.
Jane entered an obviously dangerous situation, where the gains in no way outweighed the risks.
Unless Jane just lived for the drama, it seems very unlikely that she got involved due to a machiavellian lust for power and more likely that she made one bad decision and the situation spiraled beyond anyone's control.
Either way Jane ended up in The Tower of London facing execution and under this intense stress she had a severe mental breakdown.
Or did she? Because one theory that has followed Jane through history is this:
Jane Boleyn faked madness to avoid execution
Stay with me here
This really fits the cunning bitch narrative, but yet again, is based around literally no evidence.
We do know that Jane had a full on breakdown in the Tower. Completely breaking away from reality, everyone around her became deeply worried about what was going on with her mental health. From the guards to her family; they all agreed that Jane was very unwell.
However there's no evidence that suggests this entire mental break was a cunning rouse.
Jane was eventually removed from the Tower of London and cared for by members of the court in their home.
However Henry wasn't letting her off that easily! It was against the law at the time for a person suffering 'madness' to be executed. But that wasn't going to stop Henry 'I invented a religion for a divorce' Vlll.
Henry Vlll changed the law just so Jane Boleyn could be executed – I mean, I guess you have to give Henry props for determination.
And so on 13th February 1542, Jane Boleyn was beheaded inside the Tower of London alongside Katherine Howard.
As with her life, Jane's execution managed to create it's own mythology, with Jane tearfully apologising for her role in the deaths of Anne and George Boleyn (she didn't and yet again, there is no evidence that she did)
Wow this was really interesting where can I find out more? I would suggest checking out Julia Foxes book 'The True Story of The Infamous Lady Rochford.' It's a great deep dive and has a good pace.

KARACHI: The Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) has sought Cellular Mobile Operators' (CMOs) opinion on strategies to reduce rates for off-net calls since the current rates are considered by experts to be 111% to 198% higher than what they should be.
Reduction in rates will not only help operators offer better off-net call rates but also help decrease grey traffic since demand for illegal means of calling will reduce, according to a PTA report.
Landline-to-mobile and mobile-to-mobile interconnection charges, called Mobile Termination Rate (MTR) in PTA's technical jargon, have not been revised since the last MTR review in 2008 which has caused the higher off-net call rates, the report says.
Pakistan's MTR should be between Rs0.30 to Rs0.43 per minute once purchasing power parity (PPP) is adjusted. The current MTR of Rs0.90 per minute is therefore 111% to 198% higher than the calculated MTR benchmark, says the Consultation on Review of Mobile Termination Rate issued by PTA.
As an interim measure, PTA offered a MTR of Rs0.80 per minute from December 1, 2017 to 30th November 2018 and Rs0.70 per minute from 1st December 2018 onwards.
The PTA will now undertake a cost-based study to review and determine termination rates as per Telecommunication Policy 2015.
Compared to other regional countries, Pakistan's MTR is approximately 0.85 cents higher than India's (0.21), Bangladesh (0.22) and Sri Lanka (0.32). Thailand, Malaysia and UK, however, have termination rates similar to Pakistan's.

Modi's cabinet clears 5G spectrum auction for 10x faster services, to be held by July
New Delhi: In a big move, Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led union cabinet has cleared the auction of 5G spectrum, which will be held the end of July.
A total of 72 GHz (gigahertz) of spectrum – with a validity period of 20 years – will be put to auction. About 10 times faster than 4G, India is set to roll out the 5G services soon, the government said.
"Digital connectivity has been an important part of policy initiatives of the government through its flagship programs such as Digital India, Start-up India, Make in India and others," an official statement read.
"The auction will be held for spectrum in various Low (600 MHz, 700 MHz, 800 MHz, 900 MHz, 1800 MHz, 2100 MHz, 2300 MHz), Mid (3300 MHz) and high (26 GHz) frequency bands. It is expected that the Mid and High band spectrum will be utilised by telecom service providers to roll out of 5G technology-based services capable of providing speed and capacities which would be about 10 times higher than what is possible through the current 4G services," it underlined.
"Broadband, especially the mobile broadband, has become (an) integral part of the daily lives of the citizens. This received a big boost through the rapid expansion of 4G services across the country since 2015. Eighty crore subscribers have access to broadband today compared to ten crore subscribers in 2014," the statement further added. New-age businesses are set to benefitted with the big move, which will also create additional revenue for enterprises.
The Telecom Sector Reforms – announced in September last year – are expected to benefit the auction. The requirement of submitting a financial bank guarantee equivalent to one annual instalment has also been done away with.
The union cabinet has also decided to enable the development and setting up of Private Captive Networks, the government said, to spur a new wave of innovations in Industry 4.0 applications such as machine to machine communications, Internet of Things (IoT), Artificial Intelligence (AI) across automotive, healthcare, agriculture, energy, and other sectors.
Earlier this year, PM Modi had said India was planning to launch 6G services by the end of this decade and a task force has started working in that direction

Innovations in optical fiber technology are revolutionizing world communications. Newly developed Optical fibers and amplifiers allow direct transmission of high-speed signals over transcontinental distances without the need for electronic regeneration. Optical fibers find new applications in data processing. The impact of fiber materials, devices and systems on communications in the coming decades will create an abundance of primary literature and the need for up-to-date reviews.
This journal will give significant developments and in-depth surveys in the fields of fiber and integrated optics. This journal will be unique in bridging the major disciplines relevant to optical fibers and electro-optical devices. This results in a balanced presentation of basic research, system applications and economics. For more than a decade, Fiber and Optics has been a valuable forum for scientists, engineers, manufacturers and the business community to exchange and discuss techno-economic advances in the field. This will help in explaining the subject of optoelectronic devices and their use in integrated optics and fiber optic systems. The approach taken is to emphasize the physics that how devices work and how they can be (and have been) used in various applications as the field of optoelectronics has progressed from microphotonics to nanophotonics.
Authors are invited to submit papers for this journal through E-mail pbijjournal@airccse.org. Submissions must be original and should not have been published previously or be under consideration for publication while being evaluated for this Journal.

A closer look: The Law Commission on the OIA
Today the Law Commission released its issues paper [PDF] on the Official Information Act. This is the second stage of their review, aimed at getting public feedback on preliminary recommendations. I'll have some more thoughts on particular areas soon, but here's the general overview.
Firstly, the Herald is highlighting the suggestion to scrap the executive veto over release (which is a good idea), but that's burying the lead. The real story from this is that in a paper entitled The Public's Right To Know, the Law Commission is proposing to restrict that right by expanding the withholding provisions applying to "confidential" and "free and frank" advice. These are so vague as to allow Ministers and agencies to drive a cast-iron rhinoceros through, and as a result they are widely abused. Pretty much anything can be hidden this way - and because its secret, we don't know if its dubious or not.
These provisions exist for two reasons. Firstly, to protect the ability of Ministers to receive blunt advice. There's a definite public interest there, in that if an idea is bullshit, public servants need to be able to say so. But I don't see why it requires secrecy. Those public servants are professionals, and are expected to give such advice as part of their jobs. The "free and frank" clause in fact protects Ministers from having the quality of their decision-making scrutinised. And that's not something they deserve protection for. If a Minister was advised that a policy would lead to a disastrous outcome, and they pushed on and did it anyway, that is something we deserve to know. More secrecy in this area is the exact opposite of what we need, and what we have a right to.
The second reason is summed up by the Law Commission as
The ability of the government to govern requires some room for deliberation in private to develop and consider ideas without fear of adverse consequence
Or, to put it another way, apparently government can't operate if us dirty peasants are looking over its shoulder all the time. Which is exactly the sort of monarchical bullshit the OIA was passed to eradicate.
Here's a thought: rather than trying to hide behind secrecy, Ministers could explain their decisions. If they were advised that a particular course of action might lead to a bad outcome, but want to press ahead with it anyway, they could explain why and what precautionary measures they were taking to mitigate that outcome. In short, they could treat us as democratic citizens with an interest in government, rather than as subject peasants who must be kept away from it. But that would require Ministers to stand up and be accountable for their decisions - which is the very last thing they are interested in.
What else? The Law Commission discounts complaints of delays on the basis that
Recent research... indicates that the great majority of requests are responded to well under the statutory maximum of 20 working days.
I can't really fault them on this, as they went with the information they had at the time. But I think that contention is absolutely unsupportable in light of my research on Ministers, which showed that on average only 70% of requests were processed on time, and that the median time was around 20 working days. While I haven't posted it yet (I'm still waiting on a few), government departments showed a similar picture, with a few honourable exceptions like the Ministry of Justice who took the "as soon as practicable" clause seriously.
The good news is that they are recommending that somebody collect and publish these sorts of performance statistics as part of the ongoing monitoring of the Act. Which means we will be able to use them as an ongoing spur to drive performance. They're also recommending greater guidance by the Ombudsmen and/or SSC to give greater consistency in decision-making, which would be welcome.
Unfortunately, despite the massive advances in information technology (and public expectations of openness), they don't recommend reducing the 20-day limit, as
it would be unrealistic to reduce the maximum timeframe at a time where, for reasons of economic necessity, the public service is required to shoulder its core responsibilities with reduced or no increased resources.
They're absolutely right that this is a question of resources. But we shouldn't allow the government to use the recession as an excuse for secrecy. Freedom of information is like democracy - you pay whatever it takes. A shorter limit would mean a better democracy and a more responsive, accountable government. And that is something we should pay for, recession or no recession.
The review sidesteps the issue of whether Parliament should be covered by the Act on the grounds that that is being considered in a parallel review of the Civil List Act (which seems an odd place to do it). But they do recommend it be extended to cover the Parliamentary Counsel Office, and to operational aspects of the courts. They also recommend consolidating the list of bodies the Act applies to in one place, rather than having them scattered around the schedules to the OIA, Ombudsmen's Act, Crown Entities Act and various other places.
This is an important review, and one we should all speak up on. Submissions are due by December 10.

Ю́рий Моисе́евич Кага́н (6 июля 1928, Москва — 4 июня 2019) — советский и российский физик-теоретик. Академик РАН (1991, академик АН СССР с 1984 года), доктор физико-математических наук, профессор. Лауреат Ленинской и Государственной премии СССР.

Биография
Родился 6 июля 1928 года в Москве в семье уроженцев Витебска.

Ранняя юность пришлась на трудные военные годы. Работал на военном заводе, посещал вечернюю школу рабочей молодежи.

Осенью 1944 года поступил на первый курс в Московский авиационный институт. В феврале 1946 года перевёлся на второй курс инженерно-физического факультета Московского механического института (впоследствии МИФИ).

В 1950 году окончил МИФИ с отличием. Одновременно он сдал Л. Д. Ландау все экзамены знаменитого «теорминимума». Л. Д. Ландау приглашает его к себе в аспирантуру.

По окончании института Каган получил направление на один из объектов Атомного проекта — Уральский газодиффузионный комбинат (г. Новоуральск). В течение 6 лет (с 1950 по 1956 гг.) Ю. М. Каган работает в Центральной лаборатории комбината, сначала в должности младшего научного сотрудника, а затем старшего научного сотрудника. В этот период он развивает общую теорию разделения изотопных газовых смесей на пористых средах, введя оригинальную идею замены пористой среды тяжёлым «стеночным» газом с определёнными рассеивающими характеристиками.

В 1954 году защитил кандидатскую диссертацию. В 1959 году защищает диссертацию на соискание учёной степени доктора физико-математических наук.

В 1956 году Ю. М. Каган был приглашён в Москву, в Институт атомной энергии (сейчас «Курчатовский институт»). С того времени и до последних дней жизни его научная деятельность была связана с Курчатовским институтом: Ю. М. Каган возглавлял лабораторию, был руководителем отдела «Теория конденсированного состояния».

Более полувека Ю. М. Каган преподавал в Московском инженерно-физическом институте (с 1964 года — профессор). На кафедре «Теоретическая ядерная физика» он читал авторский курс «Современная теория твёрдого тела», сыгравший для многих поколений студентов существенную роль при выборе специализации.

В течение многих лет он был членом редакционных коллегий журналов «Физика твёрдого тела», «Журнал экспериментальной и теоретической физики», «Вестник Российской Академии наук».

Умер 4 июня 2019 года. Урна с прахом захоронена на Донском кладбище (участок у 10 колумбарий).

Научная деятельность

Основные работы посвящены кинетической теории газов, теории конденсированного состояния, взаимодействию ядерного излучения с веществом, квантовой кинетике при низких и сверхнизких температурах.

Каган развивает кинетическую теорию газов с вращательными степенями свободы. Совместно с Л. А. Максимовым им была построена общая теория явлений переноса в молекулярных газах во внешних полях, позволившая, в частности, объяснить природу известного ещё с тридцатых годов эффекта Зенфтлебена (изменение кинетических коэффициентов нейтрального молекулярного газа в магнитном поле). Играющий принципиальную роль в теории вектор, составленный из вектора скорости и вращательного момента молекулы, получил название «вектора Кагана».

Одновременно он развивает последовательную многочастичную теорию непереходных металлов с выявлением определяющей роли электронной жидкости в формировании статистических и динамических свойств металла и появлении нового типа особенностей в фононном спектре. Важным результатом теории было снятие ограничений на величину константы электрон-фононного взаимодействия.

К этому циклу примыкают известные работы Кагана по металлическому водороду с доказательством существования метастабильной фазы и исчерпывающим анализом её кристаллической структуры, уравнения состояния и колебательного спектра в широком интервале давления.

Особое место в исследованиях Кагана занимает изучение когерентных явлений при резонансном взаимодействии ядерного излучения с кристаллами, приведшее к представлению о делокализованных по кристаллу коллективных ядерных возбуждений. В работах, выполненных совместно с А. М. Афанасьевым, был предсказан эффект подавления неупругих каналов ядерной реакции при резонансном ядерном рассеянии в кристаллах, когда сильно поглощающий излучение (гамма-кванты, нейтроны) кристалл становится почти прозрачным (эффект Кагана-Афанасьева).

Этому направлению предшествовал цикл работ Кагана по теории основных твердотельных аспектов эффекта Мессбауэра, в существенной степени способствовавших развитию в стране исследований на базе этого эффекта.

Значительный объем исследований Кагана посвящен изучению квантовых кинетических явлений в конденсированных средах. В работе с И. М. Лифшицем ими было впервые предсказано, что кинетика фазового перехода при предельно низких температурах реализуется через подбарьерное туннелирование растущих зародышей новой фазы.

Был опубликован большой цикл работ с развитием теории квантовой диффузии атомных частиц в твердотельных регулярных и нерегулярных средах с учётом сильного взаимодействия с возбуждениями среды и межчастичного взаимодействия.

В последующие годы научные интересы Кагана в существенной степени связаны с проблемой бозе-конденсации и сверхтекучести в макроскопических квантовых системах, образованных ультрахолодными газами. Каган и его сотрудники внесли большой вклад в становление этой быстро развивающейся области. Так, была решена проблема кинетики формирования бозе-конденсата и дальнего порядка из первоначально чисто классического газа. Был предсказан эффект подавления неупругих процессов при образовании бозе-конденсата.

Примыкают к этому циклу работы Кагана с неожиданным предсказанием возможности наблюдения бозе-конденсации возбуждений в стационарных термодинамически неравновесных системах.

Результаты, полученные Каганом, вошли в монографии и учебники. Его работы нашли широкое признание и инициировали многочисленные оригинальные экспериментальные исследования.
