B(E2)(↓) for 10Be*(3.37) = 10.5 ± 1.0 e2 · fm4.
10Be atomic excitations: Isotope shifts for various 1S and 1D Rydberg series atomic excitations in 9Be and 10Be were measured in (1988WE09).
The half-life of 10Be is (1.51 ± 0.04) × 106 years; this is the weighted average of 1.51 ± 0.06 Ma (1987HO1P), 1.53 ± 5% Ma (1993MI26) and 1.48 ± 5% Ma (1993MI26). The log ft = 13.396 ± 0.012. For the earlier work see (1974AJ01). See also (1992WA02, 1990HO28, 1998MA36).
At E(6He) = 151 MeV, angular distributions were measured to investigate two-neutron exchange and the cluster configurations that dominate in the reaction. The data are consistent with a significant spatial correlation for the exchanged neutrons (1998TE03). Measurements at lower energies, Ecm = 11.6 MeV and 15.9 MeV, indicate that a simple di-neutron exchange is not dominant and give evidence that the structure of 6He is more complex than an alpha-plus-di-neutron model (1999RA15). See also (2000BB06).
Molecular cluster states in 10Be were studied by bombarding 6Li targets with E(6He) = 17 MeV projectiles and detecting the 10Be + d and 6He + 4He reaction products (1999MI39). In reaction (a) reconstruction of the missing energy indicates that 10Be*(0, 3.37) participate in the reaction as well as unresolved states at 6 MeV and 7.5 MeV. In reaction (b) the 10.2 MeV level is observed, and due to its apparent cluster nature it is suggested that this state could be the 4+ member in the rotational band (6.18 [0+], 7.54 [2+], 10.2 [4+]) [Jπ in brackets]. However, see reaction 7 which indicates Jπ = 3- for Ex = 10.2 MeV.
The yield of γ0 and γ1 has been studied for Et = 0.4 to 1.1 MeV [10Be*(17.79) is said to be involved]: see (1984AJ01). The neutron yield exhibits a weak structure at Et = 0.24 MeV and broad resonances at Et ≈ 0.77 MeV [Γlab = 160 ± 50 keV] and 1.74 MeV: see (1966LA04) [10Be*(17.79, 18.47)]. The total cross section for reaction (c), the yield of neutrons (reaction (b) to 9Be*(14.39)), and the yield of γ-rays from 7Li*(0.48) (reaction (d)) all show a sharp anomaly at Et = 5.685 MeV: Jπ = 2-; T = 2 is suggested for a state at Ex = 21.22 MeV. The total cross section for α0 (reaction (e)) and the all-neutrons yield do not show this structure: see (1984AJ01, 1988AJ01). An additional anomaly in the proton yield is reported at Et = 8.5 MeV [10Be*(23.2)] [see (1987AB15)]. For reaction (c) a reanalysis of the proton yields indicate two states at Ex = 21.216 ± 0.023 and 23.138 ± 0.140 MeV with Γcm = 80 ± 30 and 440 ± 178 keV, respectively (1990GU36). For reaction (e) the angular distributions of α0 and α1 products were measured at Et = 151 and 272 keV, and the analysis suggests possible evidence for a 2+ resonance, 10Be*(17.3), at Eres = 117 ± 3 keV with Γlab = 253 ± 1 keV (1987AB09). Differential cross sections and S-factors are reported by (1983CE1A) for Et = 70 to 110 keV for 6He*(0, 1.80). The zero-energy S-factor for 6He*(1.80) is 14 ± 2.5 MeV · b. The relevance to a Li-seeded tritium plasma is discussed by (1983CE1A). See also (1985CA41; astrophys.).
Cross sections have been measured to 10Be*(3.37, 6.2 [u], 7.4 [u] [u = unresolved]) at E(3He) = 235 MeV. The ground-state group is not seen: its intensity at θlab = 20° is ≤ 0.1 of that to 10Be*(3.37) (1984BI08).
Angular distributions were measured at Eα = 65 MeV (1994HA16). Observed states are shown in 10.8 (in PDF or PS). For 10Be*(11.76) the angular distribution is consistent with L = 3 which supports a Jπ = 4+ assignment. It is suggested that the 11.76 MeV state is the 4+ member of the ground-state Kπ = 0+ rotational band (g.s. [0+], 3.37 [2+], 11.76 [4+] [Jπ in brackets]).
Resonant particle decay spectroscopy measurements have been reported for reactions (a), (b), (c), (e), (f): see 10.9 (in PDF or PS) for an overview of experimental conditions. These measurements are particularly well-suited for spectroscopic studies of levels that decay to excited states of the component isotopes, i.e. α1 + 6He*(1.8). Values of Γα/Γ = (3.5 ± 1.2) × 10-3 and 0.16 ± 0.04 for 10Be*(7.542, 9.6), respectively, are determined by (2002LI15). See also (2004AR01) for a cluster model analysis.
New evidence suggests that the previously accepted level energy at 9.4 MeV corresponds to the level presently observed at 9.6 MeV (1996SO17, 2001MI39, 2002LI15). (1997CU03, 2001CU06) measured Ex = 9.56 ± 0.02 MeV and determined Γcm = 141 ± 10 keV and Jπ = 2+. Assuming that the 10Be*(9.56) state is 2+ suggests that it is probably a member of the Kπ = 1+ band and the 3- 10.15 MeV level is probably in the Kπ = (1-, 2-) band (2001CU06, 2002LI15). See also (2004MI07) and Fig. 8 in (2002LI15).
The work of (1996SO17) reported a new level that decays by α-emission at Ex = 10.2 MeV with Γ < 400 keV. The level energy is identified as Ex = 10.15 ± 0.02 MeV by (2001CU06) who also determined Γcm = 296 ± 15 keV and, based on α + 6He decay angular correlations, Jπ = 3-. This is in contrast with a J = 4 spin value that was suggested by (1996SO17). The 10.2 MeV level appears to have a small Γn; it is neither observed in fast neutron capture nor in the 9Be + n decay channel.
A natural parity state at 11.23 ± 0.05 MeV with Γcm = 200 ± 80 keV is identified by (2001CU06) along with inconclusive evidence for states at 13.1, 13.9 and 14.7 MeV. (2002LI15) observed a new state at 18.15 ± 0.05 MeV with Γ = 100 ± 30 keV; based on reaction systematics they deduce Jπ = 0-. See 10.10 (in PDF or PS) for other states observed in (2003FL02).
For reaction (d), angular distributions of α1 and α2+3+4+5 were reported in (1969CA1A). Groups corresponding to 10Be*(0, 3.4, 6.0, 7.4, 9.4, 10.7, 11.9, 17.9) and possibly 10Be*(18.8) were reported in (1971GL07). See (1974AJ01).
A calculation estimating the impact of 9Li(p, α)6He β / → 6Li and other reactions on the production of primordial 6Li in Big Bang nucleosynthesis is given in (1997NO04).
The thermal capture cross section is 8.49 ± 0.34 mb (1986CO14). Reported γ-ray transitions are displayed in 10.7 (in PDF or PS) (1983KE11). Partial cross sections involving 10Be*(0, 3.37, 5.96) are listed in (1987LY01). See also the references cited in (1988AJ01).
Retardation of E1 strength was found in a measurement of the capture γ-rays from 9Be + n using En = 622 keV neutrons to populate the Jπ = 3- D-wave resonance at 10Be*(7.372) (1994KI09); Γn = 17.5 keV. Capture to the Jπ = 2+ states at 10Be*(3.368, 5.958) was observed, and Γγ = 0.62 ± 0.06 and 0.11 ± 0.08 eV were deduced, respectively. Simple capture models indicate that capture to the 3368 keV state is appreciably hindered, which is explained by assuming a strong coupling between the d-state single particle neutron motion and the E1 giant resonance.
The scattering amplitude (bound) a = 7.778 ± 0.003 fm, σfree = 6.151 ± 0.005 b (1981MUZQ). The difference in the spin-dependent scattering lengths, b+ - b- is +0.24 ± 0.07 (1987GL06). See also (1987LY01). Total cross section measurements have been reported for En = 0.002 eV to 2.6 GeV/c [see (1979AJ01, 1984AJ01)] and at 24 keV (1983AI01), 7 to 15 MeV (1983DA22; also reaction cross sections) and 10.96, 13.89 and 16.89 MeV (1985TE01; for n0 and n2).
Observed resonances are displayed in 10.11 (in PDF or PS). Analysis of polarization and differential cross section data leads to the Jπ = 3-, 2+ assignments for 10Be*(7.37, 7.55), respectively. Below En = 0.5 MeV the scattering cross section reflects the effect of bound 1- and 2- states, presumably 10Be*(5.960, 6.26). There is also indication of interference with s-wave background and with a broad l = 1, Jπ = 3+ state. The structure at En = 2.73 MeV is ascribed to two levels: a broad state at about 2.85 MeV with Jπ = (2+), and a narrow one at En = 2.73 MeV, Γcm ≈ 100 keV, with a probable assignment of Jπ = 4-. The 4- assignment results from a study of the polarization of the n0 group at En = 2.60 to 2.77 MeV. A rapid variation of the polarization over this interval is observed, and the data are consistent with 4- (l = 2) for 10Be*(9.27). A weak dip at En ≈ 4.3 MeV is ascribed to a level with J ≥ 1. See (1974AJ01) for references. The analyzing power has been measured for En = 1.6 to 15 MeV [see (1984AJ01)] and at Epol. n = 9 to 17 MeV (1984BY03; n0, n2).
The non-elastic and the (n, 2n) cross sections rise rapidly to ≈ 0.6 b (≈ 0.5 b for (n, 2n)) at En ≈ 3.5 MeV and then stay approximately constant to En = 15 MeV: see (1979AJ01, 1984AJ01). For total γ-ray production cross sections for En = 2 to 25 MeV, see (1986GO1L). See also references cited in (1988AJ01).
Cross sections have been measured at En = 14.1 - 14.9 MeV for reaction (a), and at 16.3 - 18.8 MeV for reaction (b): see (1979AJ01). For reaction (c), measurements have been reported at En = 13.3 - 15.0 (t1), at 22.5 MeV (see (1979AJ01)), and at 14.6 MeV (1987ZA01). A measurement of the 9Be(n, tγ1)7Li inclusive cross sections that encompassed En = 12 - 200 MeV observed peaks corresponding to 10Be*((17.79), 18.55, 21.22, 22.26, (24.0)) (2002NE02). For the 18.55 and 24.0 MeV states, the peaks were observed at 18.76 and 23.4 MeV, respectively.
The cross section for production of 6He shows a smooth rise to a broad maximum of 104 ± 7 mb at 3.0 MeV, followed by a gradual decrease to 70 mb at 4.4 MeV. From En = 3.9 to 8.6 MeV, the cross section decreases smoothly from 100 mb to 32 mb. Excitation functions have been measured for α0 and α1 for En = 12.2 to 18.0 MeV: see (1979AJ01) for references.
Angular distributions for reaction (a) have been studied at Ep = 185 to 800 MeV [see (1984AJ01)] and at Epol. p = 650 MeV (1986HO23; to 10Be*(0, 3.37)). States at Ex = 6.07 ± 0.13, 7.39 ± 0.13, 9.31 ± 0.24, 11.76 MeV have also been populated. Ay measurements involving 10Be*(0, 3.37) are reported at Epol. p = 200 to 250 MeV [see (1984AJ01)] and at 650 MeV (1986HO23).
For reaction (b), the K+ production cross sections were measured for Ep = 835 - 990 MeV (1988KO36). Calculations for one- and two-step K+ production for Ep = 0.8 - 3 GeV are given in (2000PA15).
Angular distributions of proton groups have been studied at many energies in the range Ed = 0.06 to 17.3 MeV and at 698 MeV [see (1979AJ01, 1984AJ01, 1988AJ01) and (1997YA02)], as well as at Epol. d = 2.0 to 2.8 MeV (1984AN16, 1984DE46; p0, p1; also VAP) and Ed = 12.5 MeV (1987VA13; p0, p1). The angular distributions show ln = 1 transfer for 10Be*(0, 3.37, 5.958, 7.54), ln = 0 transfer for 10Be*(5.960, 6.26), ln = 2 transfer for 10Be*(7.37). 10Be*(6.18, 9.27, 9.6) are also populated, as are two states at Ex = 10.57 ± 0.03 and 11.76 ± 0.02 MeV. The state reported by (1974AN27) at 9.4 MeV is most likely the 9.6 MeV 2+ state based on its separation from the 9.27 MeV state (2001CU06). 10Be*(9.27, 9.6, 11.76) have Γcm = 150 ± 20, 291 ± 20 and 121 ± 10 keV, respectively. See (1979AJ01) for references. See also (1989SZ02, 1995LY03, 1998LE27, 2000GE16).
Angular distributions and excitation functions for 9Be(d, p0) and (d, p1) were measured for the energy range Ecm = 57 - 139 keV (1997YA02, 1997YA08). Astrophysical S(E)-factors were deduced and the spectroscopic factor S = 0.92 was deduced for 9Be(d, p0). (2000GE16) analyzed σ(E) and S(E) for E = 0.085 - 11 MeV and evaluated the impact of this reaction for forming heavier B, C and N nuclei in nucleosynthesis.
At Ed = 1.0 MeV, p + γ coincidences were measured. In this experiment Ex = 3368.34 ± 0.43 keV was measured, which confirms Ex = 3368.03 ± 0.03 keV [ 10.5 (in PDF or PS)] for 10Be*(3.3) (1999BU26): see reaction 55.
At Ed = 15.3 MeV the p0 and p1 + γ1 double-differential cross sections were measured and evaluated with coupled-channel calculations which suggest that multistep processes are important in the reaction mechanism (2001ZE09).
Attempts to understand the γ-decay of 10Be*(5.96) and its population in 9Be(n, γ)10Be led to the discovery that it consisted of two states separated by 1.6 ± 0.5 keV. The lower of the two has Jπ = 2+ and decays primarily by a cascade transition via 10Be*(3.37) [it is the state fed directly in the 9Be(n, γ) decay]; the higher state has Jπ = 1- and decays mainly to the 10Beg.s.. Angular distributions measured with the γ-ray detector located normal to the reaction plane lead to ln values consistent with the assignments of 2+ and 1- for 10Be*(5.9584, 5.9599) obtained from the character of the γ-decay. 10Be*(6.18) decays primarily to 10Be*(3.37): Eγ = 219.4 ± 0.3 keV for the 6.18 → 5.96 transition. See 10.12 (in PDF or PS) for a listing of the information on radiative transitions obtained in this reaction and lifetime measurements. For (p, γ) correlations through 10Be*(3.37) see (1987VA13) and references in (1974AJ01). For polarization measurements see 11B in (1990AJ01).
Angular distributions have been studied at Eα = 65 MeV to 10Be*(0, 3.37, 5.96, 6.26, 7.37, 7.54, 9.33 [u], 11.88). DWBA analyses of these lead to spectroscopic factors (1980HA33) which are in poor agreement with those reported in other reactions: see (1984AJ01).
Cluster model analyses of the reaction (1996VO03, 1997VO06, 1997VO17) explain the levels between 5.95 and 6.26 MeV as 2α - 2n-cluster states, by analogy with cluster states in 9Be. The analysis further suggests that states at 5.960, 6.263, 7.371, 9.27 and 11.76 MeV (with Jπ = 1-, 2-, 3-, 4- and 5-, respectively) comprise the Kπ = 1- rotational band.
At E(6He) = 25 MeV/A, 1- and 2-neutron transfer cross sections were measured in a study of n - n correlations for neutrons in 6He (2003GE05). The reaction was dominated by 1-neutron transfer.
Angular distributions have been measured at E(7Li) = 34 MeV (reactions (a) and (b)) to 10Beg.s., S = 2.07, and 10Be*(3.4), S = 0.42 (p1/2), 0.38 (p3/2): see (1979AJ01). At E(7Li) = 52 MeV, states are reported at 10Be*(0, 3.37, ≈ 6 (multiplet), 7.5 (doublet), 9.6, 10.2 11.8) (2001MI39). At E(8Li) = 11 MeV (1989KO17) and 14.3 MeV (1989BE28, 1993BE22) angular distributions for 10Be*(0, 3.37) have been measured. A DWBA analysis of the E(8Li) = 14.3 MeV data yields spectroscopic factors of Sg.s. = 4.0 and S3.37 = 0.2 (p1/2). At E(9Be) = 20 MeV an angular distribution involving 8Beg.s. + 10Beg.s. has been measured: transitions to excited states of 10Be are very weak (1985JA09).
At E(9Be) = 20 MeV an angular distribution involving 8Beg.s. and 10Beg.s. was measured: transitions to excited states are weak (1985JA09). At E(9Be) = 48 MeV, excited states of 10Be were populated (2003AS04): see 10.13 (in PDF or PS). The excitation energy of 10Be states was deduced from the measured energy of the 8Be recoil, which was detected as two α particles. The α-particle energy spectra were analyzed in a CCBA model analysis to justify their interpretation of spin values.
The 10Be core excitations in the 11Be ground state were determined by measuring 10Be fragments in coincidence with γ-rays in 9Be(11Be, 10Be + γ)X at 60 MeV/A. The γ-rays corresponding to 10Be*(3.37, 5.96, 6.26) were observed in 6.1%, 6.6% and 9.1% of the events, respectively. This indicates a small 0d admixture to the 11Be ground state which is dominated by a 1s single-particle component (2000AU02). In a different experiment at E(11Be) = 46 MeV/A, γ-ray plus 10Be coincidences were observed. The γ-rays corresponding to transitions between 6.263 → 3.368 MeV, 5.96 → 0 MeV and 3.368 → 0 MeV were observed (2001CH46), though in this case excitation energies were not resolved in the charged particle spectra. See (1992WA22, 2000PA53) for calculations of spectroscopic factors. Also see (1995KE02, 1996ES01, 1999TO07).
Differential cross sections for 9Be(11B, 10B)10Be were measured at E(11B) = 45 MeV for the angular range θlab = 10 - 165° (2003KY01). The quasi-symmetric distributions involving 10Be*(0, 3.368) and 10B*(0.0.78, 1.74, 2.154, 3.587) were analyzed in a coupled-reaction-channels method. Spectroscopic amplitudes are discussed for all possible 1- and 2-step processes. Analysis indicates that the reaction proceeds primarily by one-step proton- or neutron transfer.
At E(14N) = 217.9 MeV, 10Be*(0, 3.37, 5.960, 6.25, 7.37, 9.27, 11.8, 15.34) states are reported with Jπ = 0+, 2+, 1-(+2+), 2-, 3-, 4-, (5-), (6-), respectively (2003BO24, 2003BO38). The data are interpreted by assuming that the levels are α-cluster molecular states with the binding energy provided by the excess neutrons. In this analysis, the members of the Kπ = 1- rotational band are described by the formula, Ex ≈ 0.25 [J(J + 1) - 1 × 2] + 5.96 MeV. See also (2003HO30).
Angular distributions of the p0 and p1 groups have been measured at Ep = 12.0 to 16.0 MeV. The reaction was measured in inverse kinematics by scattering 59.2 MeV 10Be projectiles from protons (2000IW02) and measuring the 10Be recoils and associated de-excitation γ-rays. Scattering reactions involving 10Be*(0, 3.77, 5.96) were observed. For the first excited state, a deformation length of δ = 1.80 ± 0.25 fm, β2 = 0.635 ± 0.042 and (Mn/Mp)/(N/Z) = 0.51 ± 0.12 are deduced. For the 5.96 MeV level, the branching ratio for decay via the 3.368 MeV state is 14 ± 6% of the branch for decay directly to the ground state. For reaction (b), elastically scattered deuterons have been studied at Ed = 12.0 and 15.0 MeV: see (1974AJ01).
Theoretical analysis of elastic and inelastic 11Be scattering suggest enhancement of the fusion process due to strong multi-step processes in the inelastic and transfer transitions of the active neutron. In some cases, a neck formation is suggested that is analogous to a "covalent bond" for 10Be - n - 10Be (1995IM01).
Differential cross sections have been measured to 10Be*(0, 3.37) at Eγ = 230 to 340 MeV [see (1984AJ01)] and at Ee = 185 MeV (1986YA07) and 200 MeV (1984BLZY). A theoretical study of γ + N → π + N dynamics, for Eγ = 183 and 320 MeV (1994SA02), indicates that core polarization non-local effects due to off-shell dynamics must be accounted for rigorously to obtain agreement with data. See also (1990BE49) for calculations at Eγ ≈ 200 MeV and (1990ER03) for Eγ = 180 - 320 MeV.
Partial capture rates leading to the 2+ states 10Be*(3.37, 5.96) have been reported: see (1984AJ01). A review of muon capture rates (1998MU17), discusses a renormalization of the nuclear vector and axial vector strengths.
The photon spectrum from stopped pions is dominated by peaks corresponding to 10Be*(0, 3.4, 6.0, 7.5, 9.4). Branching ratios have been obtained: those to 10Be*(0, 3.4) are (2.02 ± 0.17)% and (4.65 ± 0.30)%, respectively [absolute branching ratio per stopped pion] (1986PE05). See (1979AJ01) for the earlier work. Also see (1998NA01).
The cross section for reaction (a) at thermal neutron energies is σ = 6.4 ± 0.5 mb, which is one order of magnitude lower than that of the (n, t) channel (1987LA16). At En = 96 MeV, the 10Be excitation spectra was evaluated by carrying out a multipole decomposition up to Ex = 35 MeV (2001RI02) to deduce the Gamow-Teller strength distribution; while low-lying states were unresolved, the high excitation spectra was dominated by a broad L = 1 peak that was centered at Ex = 22 MeV. Also see (1974AJ01) and 11B in (1990AJ01). For reaction (b) at Ed = 55 MeV, states are reported at 10Be*(0, 3.37, 5.96, 7.37, 7.54, 9.27 [u], 9.4 [u]) [u = unresolved] (1979ST15), and angular distributions are given for the Jπ = 0+ 10Beg.s. and the Jπ = 2+ states at 3.37, 5.96 and 9.4 MeV.
At Et = 381 MeV, states were observed at 0, 3.37, 5.96 and 9.4 MeV with some strength at 12 - 13.25 MeV (1997DA28, 1998DA05). A proportionality between the 0-degree (t, 3He) cross section and the Gamow-Teller strength deduced from β-decay measurements is discussed. The 3.37, 5.96 and 9.4 MeV states are identified as spin-flip Gamow-Teller excitations (ΔS =1, ΔT = 1). Jπ = 3+ is suggested for the 9.4 MeV state, though 2+ or 4+ cannot be ruled out. Shell model predictions indicate Jπ = 3+ Isobaric Analog States (IAS) in 10Be, 10B and 10C at approximately 9, 11 and 8 MeV, respectively (1993WA06, 2001MI29). However, the uncertainty in Jπ and lack of observation of these states in 10B and 10C prevents an acceptance of this suggested Jπ = 3+ state as a new level at the present time; we associate this level with the 9.56 MeV, Jπ = 2+ level in 10.5 (in PDF or PS). The 2+ states at 3.37 and 5.96 MeV are Gamow-Teller excitations and the IAS of the 3.35 and 5.3 MeV states in 10C. The values B(GT-) = 0.68 ± 0.02 from 10B(p, n)10C*(5.38) and B(GT+) = 0.95 ± 0.13 from 10B(t, 3He)10Be*(5.96) may indicate that the nuclear structure of 10Be and 10C differs because of the presence of the Coulomb force, giving rise to isospin symmetry violation.
At E(7Li) = 39 MeV, 10Be*(0, 3.37, 5.96) states were observed (1988ET02). At this energy sequential processes are blocked, due to isospin mixing, and the one-step mechanism is most important. Also see (1989ET03).
New constraints on the 11Li β-decay branch that feeds the 11Be ground state indicate that the 11Li β-delayed single neutron emission probability is P1n = 87.6 ± 0.8% (1997BO01).
The β-delayed neutrons following 11Li decay were measured by (1997MO35); results of their observations are presented in 10.14 (in PDF or PS). A different technique, utilizing a β-neutron-γ-ray triple coincidence was employed by (1997AO01, 1997AO04): see 10.15 (in PDF or PS). While the overall shape of the neutron energy spectra measured by (1997MO35) and (1997AO01, 1997AO04) are in excellent agreement, the analysis of their data leads to different interpretations and conflicting results. The measurements of (1997AO01, 1997AO04) reported involvement of a new 11Be state at Ex = 8.03 MeV; this new state is implied by both an ≈ 1.5 MeV neutron in coincidence with the 2590 keV 10Be*(5.96 → 3.36) γ-ray, and an ≈ 3.6 MeV neutron in coincidence with the 3368 keV 10Be*(3.36 → 0) γ-ray. However, the interpretation of β - n coincidences by (1997MO35) included low-energy neutrons from the unobserved 11Be*(3.87, 3.96) → 10Be*(3.36) + n and 11Be*(6.51, 6.70, 7.03) → 10Be*(≈ 6) + n decay branches into the analysis, and with their inferred branching ratios it was not necessary to introduce a new state at 8.03 MeV.
To address the question of a possible level in 11Be at Ex = 8.03 MeV, (2003FY01) developed a procedure to evaluate Doppler broadening in isotropic γ-ray decay that occurs, for example, following β-delayed neutron decay. A model was developed that indicates a well-defined γ-ray spectrum shape that depends on recoil velocity after decay, the level lifetime, and recoil energy-losses/stopping powers in the target. The 2590 keV γ-ray from 10Be*(5.958) decay was evaluated, and the observed Doppler broadening was consistent with population of this level via neutron-decay from a 11Be level around Ex = 8.6 - 9.1 MeV. This interpretation favors the analysis of (1997AO01, 1997AO04).
For earlier work see (1984AJ01, 1988AJ01) where population of complex decay branches are reported.
Angular distributions were measured for E(11Be) = 35 MeV/A (2000FO17, 2001WI05). The 10Beg.s., 3.4 MeV and unresolved states near 6 MeV were observed. The spectroscopic factors for the 10Be*(3.37) state inferred from standard DWBA and coupled-channels analysis differ by roughly a factor of 1.7. A "best estimate" for describing the 11Be ground-state wave function includes a 16% core excitation of the 10Be*(3.34) state [2+ Ä d]. Also see (1999TI04, 2000YI02). For calculations at E(11Be) = 800 MeV see (1998CA18).
Structure is observed in the summed proton spectrum corresponding to Q = -10.9 ± 0.35, -14.7 ± 0.4, -21.1 ± 0.4, -35 ± 1 MeV: see (1974AJ01). See also (1994SH21) for a quasi-quantum multi-step reaction model.
Angular distributions have been measured at Ed = 11.8 and 22 MeV to 10Beg.s. [see (1974AJ01)] and at 52 MeV to 10Be*(0, 3.37, 5.96, 9.6): S = 0.65, 2.03, 0.13, 1.19 (normalized to the theoretical value for the ground state); π = + for 10Be*(9.6): see (1979AJ01).
Fusion evaporation products from 11B + 7Li were measured at E(7Li) = 5.5 - 19 MeV by detecting the reaction products and corresponding γ-rays (2000VL04). Reactions were observed indicating 10Beg.s. and 10Be* + γ(3368). Results were used to evaluate the 7Li + 11B fusion barrier and the angular momentum achieved in the compound nucleus.
Photo-breakup reactions on 12C have been reported for Eγ = 80 - 700 MeV (see 10.16 (in PDF or PS)). Two-nucleon photoemission shows promise as a means to study short-range nucleon-nucleon correlations, however it is necessary to understand the reaction mechanism and final state interactions. Between the Giant Dipole Resonance and the Δ-resonance, γ-ray absorption is primarily on clusters or pairs of nucleons which are emitted after photon absorption. Above the Δ resonance (Ex ≈ 300 MeV) γ-rays may interact with a single nucleon to form a Δ, which then either decays into a nucleon plus pion, or the Δ may interact with another nucleon leading to emission of a pair of nucleons. The missing-mass spectra show strong peaks corresponding to (1p)2 and (1p1s) proton pair removal, while the (1s)2 peak is weak and broad which makes that contribution difficult to identify. Ejectile energy correlations appear to indicate that final state interactions play a role at low missing mass, however at high missing mass the energy appears to be divided between the two protons and hence final state interactions are not relevant. Polarization observables were measured by (2001PO19) and asymmetries were observed to be smaller than expected. See also (1994RY02, 1996RY04, 1998RY01, 1999IR01).
Electro-production of proton pairs on 12C targets has been reported for electron energies ranging from E = 0.1 - 14.5 GeV: see 10.16 (in PDF or PS). The 10Beg.s. is observed, but low-lying resonances are not resolved. Above Ex = 25 MeV, peaks corresponding to (1p)2, (1p1s) and (1s)2 proton pair removal are observed. As in (γ, 2p) reactions [see reaction 37], two-nucleon emission induced by virtual photons also shows promise as a means to study short-range nucleon-nucleon correlations; however the reaction mechanism and final state interactions must be understood. See also (1996RY04, 1997RY01, 2003AN15).
The reaction mechanism for the absorption of stopped pions on α, np and pp clusters in 12C is discussed in (1987GA11).
At En = 40 - 56 MeV, the pulse shape response for discriminating various final-state channels resulting from n + 12C interactions in NE213 and BC401a liquid scintillator was measured by (1994MO41). See also (1989BR05) for calculated cross sections at En = 15 - 60 MeV.
At E(6He) = 18 MeV, this reaction was studied by detecting the triple coincidence (10Be + 2α) (2004MI05). The kinematical reconstruction indicates that 10Be*(0, 3.37) and the multiplet near Ex ≈ 6 MeV participate in this reaction.
At E(6Li) = 80 MeV, 10Be*(0, 3.37, 5.96, 7.54, (9.4; Jπ probably 2+), 11.8) are populated and the angular distribution to 10Beg.s. has been measured: see (1976WE09, 1977WE03).
The 10Be*(0, 3.368) states, and higher lying unresolved states were observed at E(9Be) = 40.1 MeV (1999CA48).
At E(11B) = 190 MeV, the Jπ = 0+ 10Beg.s. and Jπ = 2+ excited states at 10Be*(3.36, 5.95, 9.4) excited states are observed (1998BE63).
Excited states in 10Be were reconstructed from the α+6He relative energy spectra at E(12Be) = 378 MeV (2001FR02). Tentative evidence was found for states at Ex = 13.2, 14.8 and 16.1 MeV, while other known levels were observed at 11.9 and 17.2 MeV.
At E(12C) = 357 MeV, the 10Be*(0, 3.37, 5.96, 7.54, 9.4) levels were populated (1996ST29). The Jπ = 0+ 10Be ground state is strongly populated and appears to result from a two-proton transfer which tends to leave the neutron configuration undisturbed.
At E(15N) = 318.5 MeV, known 10Be levels at 0, 3.37, 5.96, 7.37 and 9.5 MeV were observed (2001BO35). Additional measurements by (2001BO35) at E(15N) = 240 MeV observed known levels at 3.37, 5.96, 7.37 [u] + 7.54 [u], 9.27 [u] + 9.55, 10.5, 11.8 MeV [u = unresolved] and new levels at 13.6 ± 0.1, 15.3 ± 0.2, 16.9 ± 0.2 MeV with Γ = 200 ± 50 keV, 0.8 ± 0.2 MeV and 1.4 ± 0.3 MeV, respectively.
The mechanism for π+ absorption on 2 and 3 nucleon clusters in targets ranging from Li to C was studied using pions at Eπ+ = 50, 100, 140 and 180 MeV (1992RA11).
Angular distributions were measured at E(3H) = 38 MeV (1989SI02). 10Be*(0, 3.36, 5.96) levels were observed and a DWBA analysis was used to extract spectroscopic factors shown in 10.17 (in PDF or PS). The results indicate that more strength goes to the 10Be excited states than shell model calculations predict.
At E(18O) = 102 MeV, a study of α-unbound states in 22Ne indicated that 10Be*(0, 3.37) participate in the reaction (2002CU04).
Astrophysical production of 10Be has been evaluated by measuring formation cross sections for protons incident on 16O and 28Si at Ep = 30 - 500 MeV (1997SI29), on 12C at Ep = 40 - 500 MeV (2002KI19) and on O, Mg, Al, Si, Mn, Fe and Ni targets at Ep = 100 MeV - 2.6 GeV (1990DI13, 1990DI06, 1993BO41). The results of (1997SI29) suggest " soft solar proton spectrum with relatively few high energy protons over the last few million years" when compared with 10Be concentrations found in lunar rocks. See (1997BA2M, 1997GR1H, 1997MU1D, 1997ZO1C) for surveys of terrestrial 10Be concentrations, and see (2000NA34) for a model estimating 14N, 16O(p, 10Be) and (n, 10Be) cross sections for Ep = 10 MeV - 10 GeV and for discussion of various atmospheric transport models for distributing 10Be.
Spallation cross sections for Ep = 50 - 250 MeV protons on 16O were measured and were compared with Monte Carlo predictions from MCNPX (1999CH50); these data are relevant, for example, for estimating secondary radiation induced in proton therapy treatments. The target mass dependence of the cross sections for formation of 10Be from Ep = 12 GeV proton induced spallation reactions on Al through Au targets was measured by (1993SH27). Overall, 10Be production cross sections are found to increase with increasing target mass.
For reaction (b), the 10Be production cross sections for neutron induced reactions on C, N and O targets were measured at En = 14.6 MeV by (2000SU23). See also (2000NA34).
At E(10Be) ≈ 30 MeV/A, the 10Be + 12C reaction was observed to populate various exit channels (2004AH02, 2004AS02). States at Ex = 9.6 ± 0.1 and 10.2 ± 0.1 MeV were observed in the 6He + α breakup channel. Cross sections were given for breakup channels populating 8Be*(0, 3.0) and 9Be*(2.43), and other cross section were given for the (n, p) charge exchange reaction and proton pickup reaction that populate 10B and 11B, respectively.
For reaction (b), fragmentation of 10Be was measured on Si targets for E(10Be) = 20 - 60 MeV/A (1996WA27) and E(10Be) = 30 - 60 MeV/A (2001WA40). The total reaction cross section was found to be near 1.55 b in this energy region, and Rrmstotal(10Be) ≈ 2.38 fm is deduced from the cross section data.
The de-excitation of 10Be* nuclei formed in the ternary cold fission of 252Cf → 146Ba + 96Sr + 10Be*(3.37) yields γ-rays that are roughly 6 keV lower in energy (1998RA16) than expected from the accepted excitation energy of Ex = 3368.03 ± 0.03 keV. The absence of Doppler broadening suggests that the 10Be is formed and decays while in the potential well of the heavier Ba and Sr nuclei (1998RA16). A theoretical analysis of the reaction explains the observation as an anharmonic perturbation, which shifts the excitation energy lower (2000MI07).

Fame – Very Short Story
The bar was dark and dreary. The chairs and tables were almost full, and there was no music, as far as Joseph could tell. He couldn't even hear the conversation on the table next to him, only managing snippets of words that didn't make sense. His companion, a man named Robert, sat across to him. He was a thinly man, with a tortured expression. It always infuriated Joseph when he saw his friend, who by any measure should be as happy as could be. Joseph heaved the last of his drink, grabbed the waiter, and ordered another round. As the beer made short work of the string around his tongue, he said. "I don't get you. You have everything you could ever want; fame, money, people like you. Why would you still be gloomy?"
Robert raised his head, for the first time in a while. He looked confused, as if his mind had been somewhere else and was rudely drawn back to the present by Josephs words. "Would you believe me if I said fame is a curse?"
"No," Joseph replied.
"I thought so…" Robert said and took a sip of his drink.
There was silence between them and Joseph stroke his beard, like he often did when deep in thought, trying to understand what his friend was thinking. When he failed, he shook his head. "You are the most humble man I ever known. Fame hasn't changed you one bit."
Robert smiled ruefully. "I suppose you are right."
Joseph eyed his friend, growing angrier and angrier as the beer flowed. Then, at the 7th drink, he calmed and instead pitied his friend who had found no joy in his accomplishments; accomplishments that he himself desperately sought.
"If fame is such a curse, why don't you just end it all? Make a joke about the queen, that should do the trick."
Robert smiled at that, a genuine smile that turned sour as quickly as it had emerged. "Vanity."
"Vanity is what keeps me from doing it. I had thought of it, of course, though, not necessarily in the way you suggested. I'll keep that in mind, though," he said with a smile."
If any other man had made such a remark, Joseph would have assumed he was fastidious, but he knew his friend's mind was pure, naive, even. He was a child when it came to his friends, dangerously honest, which also made him pleasant to be around. It was why Joseph valued his friendship.
"So even you have sin. I thought it was just your characters."
Robert quirked his mouth and he looked with dreary eyes at his friend. "Oh my dear Joseph, where do you think my characters come from?" he said and pointed to his head.
There was an eerie feeling the way he said it and Joseph did not bring up the subject again. After a few more beers, the night came to an end, and they went their separate ways. It was dark and gloomy, the street lights shone dimly from age. To his right, there was a bookstore and a window that showcased the latest works. His friend's book were among them.
Joseph stared at the cover and it made him shiver. The artist had really encapsulated the essence of Roberts story, he thought. Joseph turned and peered beside him, as if expecting somebody to emerge from the dark.
Anyone has a little darkness inside of them, hopefully, it stays in there…

Morris Minor
Posted by Admin on January 20, 2023 January 28, 2023
If you own a Morris Minor anywhere in the world then please read on. We've had a bit of a fun idea.
It started out with us producing some stickers to commemorate the 75th year of the Morris Minor, which was launched in 1948 at the Earl's Court Motorshow. The sticker features a Minor 1000 saloon, the Bull Morris logo and a silhouette of the Glasgow skyline including the "armadillo" and the "squinty bridge."
Sticker shown on a Moggy heated rear screen
Originally the Glasgow Moggies stickers were for club members only. However, as soon as we posted them on Instagram we had friends from places like the North America, South America, Europe & Australia contacting us saying they'd like to buy one. So…
We decided to make the stickers available to everyone, at £3 each. We post them first class for £1 within the UK and £2 for the rest of the world (if they're bought direct from us – eBay postage is an extra 50p due to their fees). They're approximately 2 & 1/3" (60mm) diameter, vinyl, non-tear and low tack internal stick.
Glasgow Moggies sticker (2 & 1/3" diameter)
We are asking buyers of the Glasgow Moggies stickers to put it on their car and send us some photos, wherever they are in the world. Be as creative as you like!
Your car with lovely scenery, or your favourite bar or sports team stadium in the background? A bustling city shot? Some cultural references? Something that makes your car unique or personal? It's entirely up to you!
You don't need to be a professional photographer, the idea is to have fun, be creative and bring owners together internationally in this landmark 75th year.
Along with your photos we are inviting you to send us a story about you and your car. This is optional but will allow us to put together an international feature on our website (don't worry, we won't publish sensitive data such as your full name or exact location).
We will display all the photos we receive on our website and on our Instagram. We will also display a map with little drop pins on each location we've sent a sticker out to, to see how much of the world we can reach.
Where in the world are the Moggies?
In October, at the end of the classic car season in the northern hemisphere, we will put the photos we receive to a members vote and ask them to judge which one is the best.
The person submitting the winning photo will receive a refund for the cost of their sticker/postage and be welcomed as an honorary member of the Glasgow Moggies.
For the avoidance of doubt this is open to owners in the UK as well as the rest of the world.
Stickers may be purchased on eBay. We ship to almost every country in the world.
Alternatively please either message us through Instagram or use this contact form. We'll be in touch.

Who Told You… You Were Broke?


Despite a popular misconception to the contrary, paper cups go largely unrecycled in the UK. Will Simpson learns about a new scheme that's aiming, quite simply, to change all that.
Their volume is immense. On our high streets, vast quantities exit the doors of coffee shops every day, but the humble paper cup has long posed a problem to the recycling industry. For one thing, the plastic coating that gives the cup its rigidity is difficult to separate from the paper. Then there is the misinformation.
The breakthrough came in 2012 with the arrival of Cumbrian paper manufacturer James Cropper to provide the market for the extracted paper material and a new polyethylene separation process. "We invested £5 million into it", says Manufacturing Technology Manager Steve Oxley. He explains the process: "The material goes into a tank of hot water with a high pH. Then there is a huge agitator – a pulper – which swirls it round and the abrasion that is in there strips the plastic off. Then there are a whole series of screens and cleaners that separate them." The plastic is sold off-site and eventually recycled, whilst Cropper uses the paper to produce high- quality coloured paper for whiskey cartons, perfume cartons, hardback book covers and graphical papers. At present, the scheme is operating only in Central London. Customers – usually large workplaces – pay a fee to join the scheme and set up weekly, fortnightly or monthly collections, depending on their size. Simply Waste collects and returns the cups to its plant in Middlesex, where they are debagged, graded and then baled before a significantly sized load, say 10 tonnes, goes off to James Cropper for reprocessing.
Closed Loop, which manages the membership and promotion of the scheme, is certain that there is potential to expand Simply Cups beyond the capital. "I'd say the model is pretty scalable nationwide", suggests Goodwin. "There is also potential to widen it into a generic cup service. There are a number of other materials used in the hospitality and catering industries that are recyclable but are not currently being recycled – for example polypropylene and polystyrene cups.
Starbucks is to carry out testing on a new paper cup that aims to provide a solution to the almost 2.5 billion disposable coffee cups that go unrecycled in the UK every year.
Over 30 businesses, retailers and suppliers including Starbucks, Greggs and McDonald's have pledged to take action to address the waste caused by disposable paper cups.
Campaigns around paper cup recycling and over-packaging of Amazon products have been met with mixed comments from the resources industry after Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall highlighted them on the BBC.

When I first published this introduction to my blog, I was only just beginning to understand what the True Self was. I could feel the filtered sense of a loving person, but I did not understand why I could not "keep" it. Why wasn't I always my best "person." Now, years later, I realize the reason we can't always be our best person, is because there is no person.
While the story is still pertinent, I now actually see the truth underneath the words with much less of the filters of the person.
I guess you could say that now I finally understand.
I remember distinctly when this seed sprouted in me. I was eight years old, on my very first plane ride with my Mother to visit relatives. I remember the wonder and excitement as I sat in the coveted window seat, looking out at the clouds below me and the sun seemingly tagging along side us when, with childlike curiosity, a question occurred to me. I turned to my mother and asked "Mom, will we see God up here?" A can of worms opens inside my mind.
"If God just was," I begin, trying to find some measure of understanding, "how come we weren't just was." Mother had no answer but silence. The worms spilled out of the can.
I didn't know it then but, that innocuous question as a little boy started me on a path of looking beyond the surface of things to come to a deeper understanding. Not just knowing that two plus two equals four but, more importantly, understanding why two plus two equal four. Because without the understanding of "why" we can't move on to the deeper and richer levels of true understanding, of understanding this thing we call life. And that is really the understanding I was searching for as a precocious eight year old and what I continue to seek. The questions have changed and evolved over the years but, the search is still the same.
Here, I share with you the essence of what I have learned since I was eight. I use the word essence on purpose because, one of the most useful and heart opening things I have learned is that no matter the language or tool we use to understand—whether it is psychology, Christianity, Buddhism, Science—the purpose is the same, a detail if you will. The purpose is to understand our Truth and find a certain measure of peace and fulfillment that we cannot find anywhere but inside, where our True Self resides.

Robert Rock is een Amerikaanse rockzanger en songwriter. Hij was zanger van de bands Impellitteri, (1987, 1992–2000) Joshua, (1988), Angelica (1989), Driver (1990) en Axel Rudi Pell (1991). Zijn soloproject is bij de christelijke heavy metal onder te brengen. Rock heeft ook vijf albums uitgebracht als soloartiest en trad op met een aantal andere opmerkelijke artiesten, waaronder M.A.R.S., Joshua, Tobias Sammet, Axel Rudi Pell en Warrior.

Biografie
Rob Rock begon zijn muziekcarrière in 1983, toen hij en Chris Impellitteri lid werden van de coverband Vice. Ze brachten een demo uit en waren samen tot 1985. In 1986 voegde hij zich bij muzikanten Tony MacAlpine (gitaar), Tommy Aldridge (drums) en Rudy Sarzo (basgitaar) in het project M.A.R.S. De band bracht in 1986 het eenzame album Project: Driver uit, dat veel lovende kritieken ontving, maar het jaar daarop ging elk lid zijn eigen weg.

Rock herenigde zich vervolgens met vriend Chris Impellitteri en nam de titelloze debuut-ep op van diens band Impellitteri. Hij was echter ook toegewijd aan de andere band Joshua, dus hij kon op dat moment niet verder met de band. Rock nam het album Intense Defense op met Joshua, dat door de redacteur van HM Magazine werd gekenmerkt als waarschijnlijk het beste melodieuze metalalbum in het universum. Hij werkte ook aan andere projecten (Dennis Camerons Angelica, Driver) die hem kennis gaven van internationale musici die hem later goed van pas zouden komen.

Na het verlaten van Joshua in 1988, formeerde Rock M.A.R.S. zijtak Driver met de twee andere voormalige Joshua-leden bassist Emil Lech-Brando en toetsenist Greg Shultz, voormalig Jag Panzer-drummer Reynold 'Butch' Carlson en gitarist Roy Z, Carlson, Z en Lech-Brando speelden eerder al samen in Gypsy Moreno. Driver zou in 1990 een ep met slechts 5 nummers uitbrengen, maar ging het jaar daarop uit elkaar, toen Rock een telefoontje kreeg van Chris Impellitteri en besloot om zich weer bij zijn band aan te sluiten. Rock zou tot 2000 aanblijven als leadzanger. In die tijd bracht Impellitteri vijf succesvolle albums uit.

In 2000 besloot Rock zijn eigen solocarrière na te streven en nam hij in der minne afscheid van Impellitteri. Datzelfde jaar bracht hij zijn eerste soloalbum Rage of Creation uit. Het album kreeg lovende kritieken en Rock is doorgegaan met het uitbrengen van nog drie albums (Eyes of Eternity, Holy Hell, Garden of Chaos).

Uiteindelijk zou Rock Driver hervormen met Roy Z en Reynold Carlson en in 2008 het album Sons of Thunder uitbrengen, dat bestond uit heropnamen van hun ep uit 1990, samen met andere niet-uitgebrachte nummers die destijds waren geschreven. Het tweede Driver-album Countdown werd uitgebracht in 2012.

In mei 2008 werd bekend dat Rock opnieuw herenigd zou worden met Impellitteri. Hun nieuwe album Wicked Maiden werd uitgebracht in april 2009.

Rock heeft ook zijn stem geleend aan het Randy Rhoads-tribute, dat werd uitgebracht in 2000 en aan talloze andere projecten tijdens zijn carrière, zoals Avantasia en Axel Rudi Pell.

In 2013 maakte Rob Rock deel uit van het nieuwe project Avalon van voormalig Stratovarius-gitarist Timo Tolkki, een metalopera met Rock als een van de hoofdpersonen. Hij zingt 6 nummers op het album The Land of New Hope.

Virgil Abloh x Baccarat's "Crystal Clear" Glass Collection
Baccarat's Collection with Virgil Abloh is a Tribute to the Late Designer
(This content has been paid for by an advertiser. If you'd like to appear on Highsnobiety, contact: advertising@highsnobiety.com.Sponsored Story) 1 year ago in DesignWords By Valerio Farris
The late designer Virgil Abloh's distinct touch can be felt in every one of his collaborations. During his prolific career, he lent his hand to furniture, cars, timepieces, even water coolers. For one of his final collaborations, he brought his signature vision to a "Crystal Clear" collection with none other than world-famous top-of-the-line purveyors of crystal, Baccarat.
True to Abloh's masterful touch, the limited-edition collection is a mashup of industrial and classic influences. It fuses the meticulous expertise of the 257-year-old company with his modern point of view. The selection, which debuted in 2020 and was manufactured by Baccarat's skilled artisans, consists of a "Made to order" Chandelier, four different vases, and a signature glass complete with a lid and straw. Each piece is numbered and features crystal chain link accents.
Shortly before his passing, Abloh commented on how working with a powerhouse like Baccarat aligned with his guiding ethos when it comes to his pantheon of partnerships: "For me, Baccarat represents the expression of the dynamism of crystal through history and today. The 'Crystal Clear' line of objects is an extension of my art practice, expertly realized by the artisans of Baccarat."
The accompanying film captures some of Abloh's close circle, including Bella Hadid, in the luxurious hall of the Maison Baccarat, sipping from crystal Baccarat straws and dancing surrounded by some of the world's finest glassware.
The pieces are available to shop—or just ogle—online here.

Immortal Romance Online Slot Review
Few slots games have broken through like Immortal Romance slot by game developers Microgaming. One of the most popular slots of all time, it continues to prove a popular choice for slots fans. Some say it's because of the dark and somewhat different theme that underpins the game. Others say it's a direct result of the impressive bonus features, the high payout percentage, and the decent jackpots on offer. But whatever the reason for you, Immortal Romance a game that you simply must play, if only to see what all the fuss is about.
Immortal Romance online slot is a sort of gothic, vampire-come-haunted house themed game, picking up on popular film and book series like Twilight and GoT. That's not to say it's restricted to a certain demographic – in fact, the game proves popular with players right across the board. From the second you first take this slot for a spin, you can feel the sinister undertones that run across the board – from the characters themselves, through to the gothic-styled high card symbols, the theme is all encompassing.
Dig a little deeper, and what you find is a game that has all the stats to back up the graphics. Not only does the game look good, just like their other slot game Thunderstruck, but it's excellent value for a money slot.
There are 243 ways to win across the reels, which are set out in a standard five reel format. Watch out for the bonus features along the way, which are some of the best ways to win big through this game. For the jackpot hunters specifically, there's 1500x on offer, which doesn't sound massive initially. But when you consider this can be worth up to 120,000 coins, depending on your bets when you line up 5 of the lion door knocker symbols, it's easy to see why this game continues to draw in the crowds.
Aside from the main symbols that make up the reels, there are a couple of other symbols, along with their specific bonus features you should be aware of. While you can't do much other than wish them onto your reels, they can provide an added boost to your gaming fortunes whenever they appear.
Feature Symbols
The wild symbol is the Immortal Romance logo. When it appears anywhere on your reels, it substitutes for any missing symbol to complete a payline. The other feature symbol you should keep your eyes peeled for is the door knocker, shaped like a lion's head. The symbol is the bonus icon, which triggers the Chamber of Spins feature when you land three, four, or five on your reels.
The wild doesn't substitute for a scatter, so you need to line up a minimum of a full three door knockers to trigger the bonus feature. However, with up to 4 different bonuses playable, delivering free spins and multiplier, it can be a good feature for building some headway in your bankroll.
Immortal Romance Bonuses & Jackpots
The Chamber of Spins is the flagship feature in Immortal Romance, and it provides a bonus in the form of free spins plus a multiplier. If you land three scatter symbols for the first time, you qualify for the Amber bonus – 10 free spins and a 5x multiplier, which is pretty generous. As you trigger the bonus 5, 10 and 15 times going forward, you qualify for the Troy, Michael and Sarah bonuses respectively – or 15 free spins/2x or 3x, 20 free spins with rolling reels/1-5x, or 25 free spins and additional wilds for the Sarah bonus.
There's also another bonus feature, although you won't be able to trigger it manually – it's the random 'Wild Desire' feature, which spontaneously turns any number of your reels fully wild, excellent for ensuring you're in for a winning spin.
Play Immortal Romance Slot at PartyCasino
Immortal Romance is one of the most popular slots of all time, thanks in no small part to the moody atmospherics, the impressive graphics and the generous bonus feature. With good in-play features and the potential for decent money to be won when the momentum is on your side, Immortal Romance slot game is a must-play for anyone looking for a new gothic-themed challenge.

The FINANCIAL -- According to new analysis by Coutts, a current wave of new developments in London's most sought-after areas could mean they are on the market for longer and sold with higher discounts than existing homes.
The latest edition of the Coutts London Prime Property Index (CLPPI), produced in partnership with data source LonRes, analyses the market for London residential property worth between £1m and £10m for Q4 2017, focusing on 15 parts of the capital. The report says that, with 26,000 new units currently under construction or with planning permission in the 15 areas it covers – about half of all such developments across the capital – there is a real risk of oversupply issues. Central and West & South West London are leading the charge on new developments, with Battersea alone hosting 22% of new buildings under construction.
The CLPPI also finds that luxury property prices in London are likely to stay flat for the next two years but rise quickly from 2020 as confidence returns to the market.
Over 7,500 new homes are currently under construction, and an additional 19,000 have planning permission to build.
The top 3 areas where most new builds are under construction/or with permission granted are: Kensington, Notting Hill & Holland Park (25%), Battersea, Clapham & Wandsworth (15%) and Fulham & Earl's Court (9%).
Key sites to look for include the redevelopment of Earl's Court, the Battersea Power station as well as King's Cross.
The areas covered by the CLPPI include 132 schemes currently under construction, and 224 schemes with planning permission of ≥ 10 private units.
The impending launch of the Elizabeth line, due to open in December, is also expected to have a positive knock-on effect on Central London. The connection of 41 stations from west to east London, across over 60 miles, will transport around 200 million passengers a year – positive news for London's developers.
The Index also showcases a possible end to the decline in London Prime Property (£1m-£10m), sales are up 1.1% compared to the previous quarter [although 9% down compared to the last quarter of 2016]. Whilst discounting on asking price remains with buyers getting an average of 11% off on prime property, this increased from 6.6% to 7.4% for property under the £1m price tag. As Brexit uncertainty remains, this price correction and more recent slowdown in price falls, could be enough to tempt 'needs-driven buyers' back into the market. Experts at Coutts expect prices across prime London markets to remain relatively flat for the next 2 years as Brexit negotiations continue and the market assimilates the effect of the recent changes in stamp duty.

Title 1983 Senate Bill 1365. An Act Requiring Civil Service Applicants For Appointment As Police Officers To Satisfy Certain Educational Requirements.


June 23rd is fast approaching as Great Britain heads into a national vote that could result in the nation's departure from the European Union. What lies ahead is conjecture, but Britain's departure from the EU would undoubtedly open up a new debate for corporate occupiers and investors as they assess the impact on corporate real estate and capital markets. For the moment, it's a hypothetical question. Will the majority of investors, who view the exit from the Union to be risky and potentially costly, find ways to continue operating in Britain post EU membership, or will companies look to relocate to cities within the Union in order to take advantage of established trade benefits and other advantages associated with a single European free-trade market?
One thing is for sure, uncertainty causes markets to stall, and we have seen this trend recently in the lead up to the British General Election. An exit from the Union would see a series of shapeshifting occur before any long-term cause and effects can be written in stone. However, would Brexit have an impact on property markets? It is fair to conclude that it would. For occupiers, this could mean lower pricing as the demand for property in Britain has the potential to slow down in response to the exit. This could also negatively impact construction, development, and property values for landlords. In-bound investment is also at risk and this represents significant concerns for investors in the long term. In the wake of an exit, investors will quickly begin to weigh the value of relocation to the European continent, in turn leading to a potential reduction in available jobs in Britain.
Conversely, pro-exit market analysts project that an exit will lead to stronger trade options for Britain and leave the country with a reduced financial commitment to the Union, leaving Britain with funds to invest domestically in research and development, and expand representation in global functions independent of the Union.
Any major development or shift in the way countries trade will have a catalytic effect on regional economies that extends to global markets and the uncertainty of Britain's potential exit from the European Union certainly has the attention of investors around the globe. According to a February 2016 survey of 191 investment clients, conducted by CBRE, close to 75% of domestic and international investors surveyed are standing firm in support for Britain to remain in the European Union. The question really is, will Britain retain its appeal as an inbound investment location should the referendum result in an exit from the Union?
What impact would Brexit have on your company's corporate real estate strategy plans?


Do you work? What do you do? Got to love well meaning small talk. Well it really depends on your definition of work. I class myself as a full time mum, part time employee.
Jump out of bed at the crack of dawn, rush to paid work, then at the end of the working day rush home to start my totally unpaid job which really only ends when I close my eyes to go to sleep!
Juggling the two can be difficult sometimes, especially with a sick child or a tight deadline to meet. You feel like you need to prove yourself, like growing and birthing a mini human suddenly makes you think you need to do more… more with life, with free time, with family, with work.
Do you think parents are ever 'off work'? Or do we only rest when we get a few stolen hours sleep before our little ones wake to start a new day?

MMO Family: A parent's look at Fantage

In this article: chat-filter, child, children, ESRB, ESRB-rating, family, family-friendly, family-fun, family-gaming, fantage, featured, free-to-play, freemium, kid-friendly, kids, parental-controls, parents, pixie-hollow, safe-chat
MMO Family is your resource for leveling a gaming-specced family, from tips on balancing gaming with family life to finding age-appropriate online games for everyone in the family.
Now that we've established that kids aren't gaming snobs and will dig into a good Flash game with as much relish as we grownups attack any top-rung MMO title, let's look at another up-and-coming Flash title for kids. Fantage (short for "Fantastic Age") has attracted nearly 7 million users since April 2008 almost entirely by word of mouth -- how's that for kid power?
I suspect the reason Fantage tickles my 9-year-old playtester's fancy is tied to the advancements she's been making with her real-life character this summer. The achievements are flowing: she's figured out how to use the Page Up and Page Down buttons to snag [Swimming in the Deep End], she's acquired her first epic mount [Big Brother's Hand-Me-Down Bike] and she's become fascinated with the possibilities of /dance... We're even breaking away from class-specific gear sets to farm all the mats for her [Tier 4 School Supplies] individually via hotly contested minigames all over town. So while she's still utterly captivated by the sparkling magic of a game like Pixie Hollow, this evolving little personality is hooked on Fantage's opportunities to show off her own style and personality via her avatar and accessories. Different game, different flavor -- so let's investigate the attractions.
Fantage
Developer Fantage
Launched April 2008
What systems does it run on? Slower systems and overburdened hard drives, rejoice! As a Flash-based browser game, Fantage runs on any PC or Mac. Anyone with a browser and internet connection can play; no downloads are required.
How much does it cost? Fantage can be played for free, although subscribers get access to more features. Memberships ("premium memberships") start at $5.99 per month and get cheaper as you buy longer subscription blocks; payment options are numerous, including credit card, a myriad of game card choices, bank transfer and more. The key difference between non-paying ("regular") memberships and premium membership is access to items; regular members are limited to the most basic rung of clothing, hoverboards and hairstyles. Since this is a big issue for most young players, this may weigh heavily in your subscription decision. Premium members rack up levels as they earn medals, while regular members plug along at one level per month; however, leveling doesn't appear to have a significant impact on the fun. Other premium member benefits include deluxe rooms, a 1,000-star (cash shop) signup bonus, the ability to earn and show off medals and more variety when collecting in-game stickers.
What's the game all about? With no single game activity taking center stage, Fantage is more of a virtual world for budding social butterflies than a traditional MMO. There are levels, although they're not central to the gameplay experience (and non-paying members level much, much more slowly than subscribers). There are minigames. There are missions (mostly more minigames and errands from NPCs). More at the forefront, though, are opportunities to meet other players; walking the runway at competitive fashion shows and attending or hosting parties offer the chance to earn stars (in-game coin) and rewards. Also big is the process of collecting clothes, hoverboards and new hairstyles via special gems found in mini-games and party activities; here's where being a paying member counts big, since subscribers get three types of gems to regular members' one. There are also houses to decorate and pets to collect.
What does the game look and feel like? This is definitely cheery kid stuff: bobble-headed avatars with immense eyes whoosh about on hoverboards amidst the bright colors of Fantage's traditional cartoon styling. Upbeat tunes top off a perky, kid-oriented feeling.
Who's the target audience? Fantage is aimed at boys and girls ages 6 to 14, but even the most casual observers will note that the activities wield girl-appeal.
Who plays? While logging in dumps you squarely into a mass of girls, girls, girls, you'll find a healthy population of boys playing Fantage, too. They seem to hang out a little less in the "lobby" areas and spend more time within the minigames and party areas. Most of the adults in Fantage seem to be parents playing along with their kids, although the company reports a small subset of early 20-something females who also play. Fantage is primarily based in North America, but there's also a new European version that reaches youngsters as far away as Saudi Arabia and Dubai.
What playstyles does the game most suit? Fantage is casual all the way. Activities are brief, chat with other girls is fun but mostly revolves around the game itself, and progression seems like a natural outcome of having fun without becoming obsessively grindy. If your young player enjoys meeting and making friends with other youngsters in game, this is the game for her!
How does the game address kids' internet safety? Fantage chat is filtered through an approved dictionary and tools that automatically block personal information such as phone numbers and addresses. Parents can choose several levels of chat permissions for their young players, from full chat to safe chat (a menu of preselected phrases to choose from; all incoming chat is also restricted to these phrases) to no chat at all.
Chat rooms are monitored by Fantage.com employees, who work to screen out questions and answers that might supply personal information. Players are encouraged to report players who are bothersome or ask intrusive questions. The game's simple code of conduct includes two points we wish more kids' games would state so clearly:
Teasing other users with conversation or avatar actions is not permitted.
Any other expressions or behavior not appropriate for children is not permitted.
That's boiling things down to kid level. Players who violate the chat and behavior code may receive a warning, suspension or permanent ban.
What kid-friendly features help guide children through the content? While Fantage's controls, instructions and help features are simple and clear for players in its intended age range, younger players who don't read yet may not find the game appealing. Experienced young gamers may find the absence of WASD movement awkward at first -- but hey, kids are adaptable, and with a choice between mouse movement or the arrow keys, this isn't much of an issue.
What's the social atmosphere? Fantage players are chattier with in-game friends and small groups than with the server at large; local/general chat consists mostly of announcements for parties and events. If that's too much chatter, you can always choose a quieter server when you log in. It's easy to connect with friends, as the game informs you if friends are logged in on another server when you log in. As for making friends, it's easy to hook up with others who play at the same general pace; player levels tend to cluster at either end of the spectrum, making it easy to spot who plays a lot or a little.
What else can players do outside the game? Kids will enjoy reading the Comet, the weekly online Fantage magazine, which is available in game/on the web. There's a Fantage Facebook page and even a budding YouTube channel. A visit to the Fantage web site also uncovers Fantage stationery, greeting cards, wallpapers, banners and coloring pages. Be sure to check out the blog for more game-related news.

But never prophesy at Bethel again, because it is the sanctuary of the king and the temple of the kingdom."
Those who swear by the guilt of Samaria and say, 'As surely as your god lives, O Dan,' or, 'As surely as the way of Beersheba lives'--they will fall, never to rise again."

Judges 18:29-31
And they called the name of the city Dan, after the name of Dan their father, who was born unto Israel: howbeit the name of the city was Laish at the first…
(29) Bethel and Dan, chosen as the frontier towns of the kingdom, had, however, associations of their own, which lent themselves naturally to Jeroboam's design. Bethel--preserving in its name the memory of Jacob's vision, and of his consecration of the place as a sanctuary (Genesis 28:19; Genesis 35:14-15)--had been (see Judges 20:18; Judges 20:26; Judges 20:31; Judges 21:2; 1Samuel 7:16) a place of religious assembly, and, possibly, of occasional sojourn of the Ark. At Dan, it is not unlikely that the use of the local sanctuary, set up at the conquest of the city by the Danites, still lingered; and from the notice in Judges 18:30, that the posterity of Jonathan, the grandson of Moses, were priests till "the day of the captivity of the land," it seems as if these priests of this old worship became naturally the appointed ministers of the new.
Pulpit Commentary
Verse 29. - And he set the one in Bethel, and the other put he in Daniel [Two considerations seem to have influenced Jeroboam in his choice of these sites. First, both these places were in some sort sanctuaries already. Bethel was already a makom, or holy place, in the days of Abraham; was consecrated by the visions and altar of Jacob (Genesis 28:11-19; Genesis 31:13; Genesis 35:1, 7, 15), and by the ark having been there (Judges 20:26-28, Hebrews; cf. Jos., Ant., 5:02.10). And though Dan (Joshua 19:47; Judges 18:29; Judges 20:1) can hardly have had as sacred a character as the "house of God and the gate of heaven" (Genesis 28:17) had, still it had its shrine and its schismatic priesthood. A grandson of Moses (Judges 18:13, true reading) had ministered there, and his sons were the priests of Dan still. Secondly, these localities would suit the convenience of his subjects, being respectively at the southern and northern extremities of the kingdom. And this, no doubt, was one reason why Dan was chosen in preference to other places, such as Shiloh, which, though more sacred, were less conveniently situated. A sanctuary at Dan would save the northern tribes many tedious journeys. It should be remarked that Bethel properly belonged to Benjamin (Joshua 18:13, 22), though it was also on the border of Ephraim; and it has been suggested that it was Jeroboam's selection of this place as a seat of the calf worship decided the tribe of Benjamin to follow the lead of Judah. But the narrative seems to imply that their choice had been made at an earlier period (ver. 21), and the city would seem to have been long in the possession of the house of Joseph (Judges 1:22). It is now known as Beitin, and is one of the most naked and dreary spots in Palestine. "The place seems, as it were, turned to stone; and we can well imagine that the patriarch found nothing softer than a stone for his pillow." Conder, p. 252, who suggests that from the time of Abraham Bethel was a מָקום, a sacred place merely (Genesis 28:11), and distinct from the adjoining city of Luz (ver. 19).]
