2020 Will End as One of America's Most Violent Years in Decades
Shooting incident in Corona, Queens on November 1, 2020. This year the country has experienced significantly higher levels of gun violence.
John Nacion-Star Max via AP
By Josiah Bates
December 30, 2020 9:23 AM EST
Across the U.S., this year has taken a heavy toll. The coronavirus has upended daily life and resulted in the deaths of over 300,000 people; 2020 is on track to be the "deadliest year in U.S. history," according to The Associated Press, with a projected rise of 15% in total deaths from 2019. The pandemic's economic impact has left hundreds of thousands of people out of work, struggling to provide for themselves and their families. Other stresses and pressures related to lockdowns and prolonged periods of isolation have also carried significant burdens.
And for many, COVID-19 hasn't been the only life-altering hurdle to face.
This year, many Americans have experienced significantly higher levels of violence both wrought on and within their communities. Gun violence and gun crime has, in particular, risen drastically, with over 19,000 people killed in shootings and firearm-related incidents in 2020. That's the highest death toll in over 20 years, according to data from the Gun Violence Archive (GVA), an online site that collects gun violence data, and the Britannia Group's non-partisan site procon.org.
This total includes victims of homicides and unintentional deaths but does not include gun suicides. And despite there being no "large-scale" shootings in 2020, the number of mass shootings—which are classified as an incident in which four or more people are shot and injured or killed—has actually risen, drastically, to over 600, the most in the past 5 years and a nearly 50% increase in 2019's total.
Much of this violence has most significantly impacted poor Black and brown communities, exacerbating disparities already apparent in historical patterns. (Within inner-city minority communities that deal with high levels of gun violence, it's not uncommon for there to be multiple shooting victims at one particular incident.) According to Everytown for Gun Safety, a non-profit organization that advocates for stricter gun laws, Black Americans make up 68% of homicide victims in larger cities, many of them victims of gun violence.

"Poor people of color are suffering disproportionately from COVID, suffering from excessive and deadly force from police and suffering from excessively high rates of violence. Those are all concentrated on the very same population," Thomas Abt, the Director of the National Commission on COVID-19 and Criminal Justice (NCCCJ) tells TIME.
According to a report from the NCCCJ, homicides increased by 36% across 28 major U.S. cities—including Los Angeles, Atlanta, Detroit and Philadelphia—between June and October 2020, when compared to the same time period last year. Per the GVA, 2020's total gun homicides had, by the end of October, already exceeded that of the past four years. Many commentators have pointed to an uptick in violence apparent since May, following widespread protesting and unrest following the killing of George Floyd by a Minneapolis police officer, but experts make it clear the upward trend was apparent from the beginning of the year.
According to Patrick Sharkey, professor of sociology and public affairs at Princeton, 75 of the 100 largest cities in the country saw an increase in fatal shootings in the first quarter of 2020. "All the sources of data tell us that, right from the start of 2020, it's been a year with very high violence," Sharkey tells TIME. "There has been a real increase since May, but there was change going on before that."
In Chicago, 3,237 shooting incidents have occurred as of Dec. 27, an increase of over 50% from the 2,120 incidents reported in the same time frame in 2019. The city also saw a 55% increase in homicides. New York City has had 1,824 shooting victims this year as of Dec. 20, compared to 896 in the same time period last year, and a 39% increase in homicides year on year—the New York Times reporting that 2020 has been the city's deadliest in "nearly a decade." (Local news reports out of Philadelphia and Charlotte, N.C., meanwhile, confirm that the cities have each seen the most homicides this year since the 1990s.)
In Minneapolis, where Floyd was killed, there has been a 77% increase in murders.
"I think the best way to describe what's happened in terms of violent crime is [as] sort of a perfect storm," Abt says. Social distancing guidelines and stay-at-home orders implemented to curb the spread of coronavirus have curtailed the work of violence interrupters and gun violence prevention activists in many inner-city neighborhoods, for example, and limited the potential for mental health outreach, social programs and conflict de-escalation initiatives.
But experts also cite systemic issues long apparent in disenfranchised communities—a lack of opportunities, access to suitable education, food and healthcare—as causative factors, as well as widespread perceptions that police departments have stepped back from their responsibilities in response to this year's racial justice protests.
"Officers are afraid to do anything because they don't want to make a mistake and get in trouble," a New York Police Department sergeant, speaking recently with THE CITY, explained of his colleagues. "They're afraid to stick their neck out to do anything because they don't want to get fired."

2020 has also been a record-breaking year when it comes to Americans buying firearms. And there is fear amongst activists and experts that this violence will continue in 2021 unless evidence-based, community-led initiatives that can quell the problems are enacted. Sustained financial investment within communities that face daily gun violence is seen by many as the most necessary first step.
"Gun violence is a problem that is really hard to deal with. It's hard for social service agencies to deal with, it's hard for other community organizations to deal with. Let's emphasize the investment needed for an alternative model built around residents and community organizations," Sharkey says. "That should be the starting point."

One Year Since "I Do"
I can't believe that a year has gone by that I married my best friend...that I had the time of my life...that I celebrated our very special day with loved ones...that my life became complete. What a special day we had that neither of us will never forger.
We are ready and excited for what the upcoming years will bring! Every day I realize how blessed I am and how thankful I am to be loved by such an amazing man.
How adorable was your wedding day and talk about gorgeous!!!! Love this - thanks for sharing!
I LOVE that last picture. Happy Anniversary!

If you're in the northern hemisphere, you've probably noticed something like this happening around you: Do you even need a prompt with all the flowers and grasses blooming around you?
Prompt 57: Sing for a minute.
Prompt 55: Sing to the room.


MILLIE was a lonely spirit with no one but her house to keep her company. That changed the day the handsome new owner of her precious home moved in and said hello. She never thought she would have a chance to fall in love again. Now she is chipping away at her past and turning away from the light she thought she was waiting for. There is just one problem; the love of her afterlife is engaged.
NOAH and his fiancée are having trouble sharing a vision for a home to grow their future in. Lucky for him the spirit in residence is on his side. Unlike his fiancée, Millie seems to like the changes and an unlikely connection is kindled. Now he is holding out on the hope that their bond will not burn out before their unlikely romance can ignite.
Millie is a ghost that has been in her family home for decades and she has watched owners come and go, never being able to communicate with any of them. That all changed when Noah moved into her house. Noah could see her and actually talk to her. This was a great read. I love how the story unfolded and how we got to know Millie's story while learning more about Noah. I could almost predict the ending but it sure didn't happen like I thought it would. I immediately fell in love with Millie and Noah. I felt Millie's pain when she would remember about her life. Noah was easy to love and his fiance was easy to hate. So all of that together made this book the great read that it is.
CASSIE LEIGH specializes in all things paranormal romance but holds a special place in her heart for a good ghost story. Her goal as a writer is to transform the trials and tribulations of family history and turn it on its head using the paranormal world of spirits, vampires, and were-animals. With the help of her husband, she carves out time to write while raising five children, working full time and obsessing over her midcentury modern dream home.


Air is free, why should I pay for Nitrogen?
Nitrogen Filled Tires Will Improve Your Fuel Economy - Tires that are properly inflated reduce rolling resistance. Minimum rolling resistance equals maximum mileage.
Tires filled with Nitrogen run cooler than those filled with regular air.
Nitrogen provides less expansion and contraction due to heat produced by driving. They maintain a more even inside pressure, even under hard use.
Replacing regular "air" which contains oxygen, with nearly pure Nitrogen dramatically reduces oxidation of the tire. Oxidation is a reaction between oxygen and other elements that breaks down rubber and synthetic compounds and damages tire belts and inner liners.
Oil and water found in most compressed air deteriorates tires from the inside out.
Reduction of Road Failures - Properly inflated tires last longer and suffer far fewer road failures. Most road failures are because of underinflated or damaged tires.
Safety - Properly inflated tires are safer; they provide better handling and stopping. Properly inflated tires are less subject to heat failures and uncontrolled blowouts.
Tire Casings Last Longer - Reduction in tire temperature and oxidation improves retreadability and extends casing life.
Nitrogen is everywhere. Nitrogen makes up about 78% of the air we breathe, the other 21% is oxygen while the remaining 1% is a combination of hundreds of trace gases. Nitrogen is called an inert gas because it does not react (oxidize or breakdown) with other elements. It is also a very dry gas (it doesn't hold much water).
Nitrogen molecules are much larger than oxygen molecules. The smaller Oxygen molecules in "air" tend to permeate or pass through the walls of tires. On average a tire filled with air will loose about 2 psi per month, whereas a tire filled with Nitrogen will loose less than 2 psi in 6 months or better.
Oxygen is highly reactive, it causes rubber and synthetic materials used in tires to destabilize, oxidize and breakdown. Heat from driving speeds up oxidation.
Because Nitrogen is very dry, it eliminates wheel most corrosion from water vapor (humidity) found in regular air.
It extends the life of the tire casing and improves retreadability. It reduces the aging (oxidation) of tire casing and cord rust (from water passing through the tire with the oxygen) which will increase the number of viable casings you have. It will also increase the number of times those casings can be retreaded.
Nitrogen is used by NASA on the Space Shuttle, in all Commercial Aircraft and most General Aviation tires, most Military Vehicles, and in Formula One and NASCAR Race Cars.
In Europe nearly all fleets (truck, bus, and automotive) have been using Nitrogen for two decades. In South America nearly all trucks and buses use Nitrogen filled tires. These customers have used Nitrogen due to the very high cost of fuel and replacement tires. They have proved its value time and again.
Some companies selling tires are now offering Nitrogen Filling at $3-$5 per tire (for automotive tires), we know of at least one company that has earned over $5500.00 in less than 60 days.
At the same time, some forward thinking companies such as COSTCO are now offering free Nitrogen tire filling with new tires as a way attracting new customers and to differentiate themselves from their competition.
Nitrogen Generators can be purchased or leased.
These machines operate from your shop compressed air supply.
These machines start to pay for themselves immediately. Inflating with Nitrogen reduces the need to "air up" tires every few weeks, saving in labor; it reduces rolling resistance, immediately improving fuel mileage; it reduces tire temperature, extending both tire treat and casing life; it virtually eliminates inside wheel corrosion, extending wheel life and reducing maintenance costs.
You can offer this as a service to your customers while making a direct profit on each use.
Or you can use it as a way to bring in new customers by offering it free with the new tires.
You can also offer free fill ups when the customer comes back for Oil Changes, Service, and or Tire Rotations.

Mechanism of action of coumarin and silver(I)- coumarin complexes against the pathogenic yeast Candida albicans
Thati, Bhumika and Noble, Andy and Rowan, Raymond and Creaven, Bernadette S. and Walsh, Maureen and McCann, Malachy and Egan, Denise (2007) Mechanism of action of coumarin and silver(I)- coumarin complexes against the pathogenic yeast Candida albicans. Toxicology in Vitro.
The anti-fungal activity and mode of action of a range of silver(I)- coumarin complexes was examined. The most potent silver(I)- coumarin complexes, namely 7-hydroxycoumarin-3-carboxylatosilver(I), 6-hydroxycoumarin-3-carboxylatosilver(I) and 4-oxy-3-nitrocoumarinbis(1,10-phenanthroline)silver(I), had MIC80 values of between 69.1 and 4.6 M against the pathogenic yeast Candida albicans. These compounds also reduced respiration, lowered the ergosterol content of cells and increased the trans-membrane leakage of amino acids. A number of the complexes disrupted cytochrome synthesis in the cell and induced the appearance of morphological features consistent with cell death by apoptosis. These compounds appear to act by disrupting the synthesis of cytochromes which directly aVects the cell's ability to respire. A reduction in respiration leads to a depletion in ergosterol biosynthesis and a consequent disruption of the integrity of the cell membrane. Disruption of cytochrome biosynthesis may induce the onset of apoptosis which has been shown previously to be triggered by alteration in the location of cytochrome c. Silver(I)- coumarin complexes demonstrate good anti-fungal activity and manifest a mode of action distinct to that of the conventional azole and polyene drugs thus raising the possibility of their use when resistance to conventional drug has emerged or in combination with such drugs.

Farewell to Dore Ashton, one of our favorite contributors and a grande dame of art criticism. [New York Times]
Age of Anger: A History of the Present by Pankaj Mishra has just been published by Farrar, Straus & Giroux. You can read Mishra's "The Entrapments of Top-Down Modernity" in our Fall 2016 issue (print only).
With great pleasure, the editors offer congratulations to…
MARSHA POMERANTZ, whose "Right/Left: A Triptych," from our Summer 2015 issue, was selected for inclusion in the Best American Essays 2016.
LINDA GREGERSON, whose poem "Font," from our Summer 2015 issue, will appear in Best American Poetry 2016.
TOM SLEIGH, whose poem "Prayer for Recovery," from our Spring 2015 issue, was also selected for Best American Poetry 2016.
VICTORIA NELSON and NICK BROMELL, recipients of 2016 Guggenheim Fellowships. Nelson's latest piece in Raritan, "Walter Benjamin and the Two Angels," appeared in the Winter 2016 issue, and Bromell last appeared in our Summer 2015 issue with "Dignity: A Word for Democracy."
Farewell to SEBASTIANO VASSALLI (1941-2015), one of Italy's literary greats and an intellectual in the largest sense. It was an honor to have his words (vividly translated by GREGORY CONTI) grace our pages. We are particularly proud to have featured several chapters from Vassalli's "Amore Lontano" (Faraway Love), an eclectic work of literary appreciation and interpretation by someone who considered himself an "extremist of poetry." Vassalli, known primarily as a novelist, was nominated for a Nobel Prize in Literature in May 2015 and was to receive a Campiello Prize for lifetime achievement in September 2015.
The editors extend a warm welcome to Michael Van Unen, Raritan's new Office Manager.
It is with sadness that we note the passing of two great men of letters:
KARL MILLER, founder of the London Review of Books and a long-time friend of Raritan and its editors, first appeared in the magazine in the Spring 1995 issue. His wit and insight enlivened his essays and reviews and will be sorely missed.
P. N. FURBANK first appeared in Raritan in the Summer 1991 issue, writing on Diderot. Since then, his work has graced our pages with essays on the historical novel, determinism, Robert Musil, and film.
We bid a fond farewell to DONNA K. GREEN, who has served as Raritan's administrative assistant since the fall of 1985. We will miss her cheerful presence (that silvery laugh!) and her efficient management of the office. We wish her all the best in her retirement.
To slow down panic on planes
or just before sleep,
think back, if you can,
to the work of water clocks—...

What Are Some Advantages of Being a Photographer?
Phlebotomists $32,710/year /> 2012-2016 +8.9%
Geoscientists $89,780/year 2012-2016 -12.1%

Photographers use their technical expertise and creativity to produce photographic images, either to tell a story or to record a live event. Some photographers are paid for photo shoots and travel quite extensively. Others work in studios, either as employees or as owner-employees. Technically skilled photographers may also work in a variety of medical or scientific environments, recording images for reports and studies. The advantages to working as a photographer are not necessarily lucrative, but they can be rewarding all the same.
Opportunities to be Creative
Photography provides an outlet for your creative nature, and successful photographers get paid for doing what they love. Good photographers can bring forth beauty from the most mundane objects, helping people to see things around them as more than they appear to be. Their work may grace the pages of magazines or be hung in commercial galleries. Creating exceptional photography can be lucrative for some; several notable photographers earn millions annually.
Generalize or Specialize
As a photographer, you may generalize or focus only on specific types of photography. Some photographers specialize in advertising photography, for example, while others work as photojournalists or in photographic studios. Other photographers work as freelancers for many employers, taking sports photos for one employer while snapping wedding photos for another. Versatile photographers with good equipment and the right work ethic may find themselves with an always interesting work life and a diverse clientele.
Travel Opportunities
Travel is mandatory for some photographers. Catalog photographers, for instance, may be asked to photograph people and objects in many locations, both at home and abroad. Travel photographers must travel to the locations they're hired to photograph, which may land them in exotic or isolated sites. Photojournalists also may travel quite extensively to many parts of the world on behalf of large media and news organizations.
By creating high quality or memorable photographs, photographers ensure some measure of immortality. Photographs are timeless objects, with photography from the 1840s or even earlier still appreciated in the 21st century. When photographers do what they love, creating photography likely to last for generations, they may also experience high levels of job satisfaction.
The Business of Photography
For many photographers, photography is, by necessity, a business through which they support themselves. And while it's true that professional photographers can make top wages, others earn more middling or average salaries. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, photographers earned a 2012 median salary of $28,490 yearly. If you're serious about earning a living as a photographer, says PhotographyTips.com, be serious as well about the business. Well-paid photographers work to develop their business skills along with their creative and photographic skills

Fall Spotlight – The Evening Grosbeak – Gilligallou Bird Inc.
Adding a splash of colour to your bird feeders over the fall and winter months is a welcome treat. While the northern cardinal does a great job of it, adding the unmistakable vibrant, yellow colouring of the evening grosbeak is a treat to behold.
This year-round resident can also prove to be helpful to many other species of birds native to your backyard and feeders at any time of the year. Equipped with large, strong bills, the evening grosbeak will often crush or open seeds otherwise deemed too large for smaller species such as pine siskins and common redpolls. For this reason, you will often notice these species trailing close behind a feeding evening grosbeak in anticipation of some otherwise unattainable seed.
A large finch species, the evening grosbeak is commanding in its appearance, marked with a striking yellow plumage and dark head boasting a stout beak, designed for smashing the hulls of larger seeds. In addition to their overall yellow appearance, males also sport flashy black and white colouring on their wings and a bright yellow stripe over the eye. Females and juveniles sport a mostly grey plumage, but also can be seen with the same white and black wings their male counterparts are equipped with as well.
The evening grosbeak can be found throughout the year in most southern regions in Canadian provinces, and throughout a good portion of the continental United States during the winter months as some northerly birds head to slightly warmer locales. The unfortunate reality is that this species is on the decline, particularly here in the eastern regions of Canada and the United States.
This being said, if there are local birds in your area, they will undoubtedly make regular appearances at your backyard feeders. Outside of that, these birds can be found high in the trees of forested areas and in high elevations in the west.
Seeming somewhat introverted, these songbirds do not have any songs in their repertoire but have been noted to let out a few short warbles from time to time. Otherwise, these birds can be heard vocalizing chips and short, but piercing calls.

Bonsai tree cultivation is a hallmark of traditional Japanese culture. First witness the bonsai's expression of the austerity of nature hidden within its beautiful exterior, and then head to Matsudai Nohbutai, a field museum that fuses art with traditional satoyama rural mountain living. Observe the traditions and culture of rural agricultural Japan. This valuable trip enables a traveler to enjoy a variety of Japanese culture in one swoop.

PACE CHENG
JAL is probably the best carrier. The cabin crew is very nice and thorough. The menu is varied and tastes good too. The seats are spacious and comfortable. New movies are available on their flights. The flight attendants were very friendly and the flight was as comfortable as I expected.
Haneda Airportmore
The airport serves as an air gateway for Tokyo. The passenger terminal is filled with various commercial facilities, and visitors can command a panoramic view of Tokyo Bay from the rooftop observation deck, so that every one, even those who are not flying, can enjoy the terminal.
Tokyo Metropolitan Area
Shunkaen Bonsai Museummore
RECOMMENDED DESTINATIONS
Bonsai is a work of art that creates magnificent natural scenery in a small container. Shunkaen Bonsai Museum in Edogawa-ku, Tokyo was created in 2002 from the desire of Kunio Kobayashi, a bonsai artist and recipient of the Prime Minister's Award, one of the three grand prizes of Japan, and the Higashi-Kuninomiya Culture Award, to deeply spread bonsai to the world. Over 1,000 bonsai line a garden with a pond where carp gracefully swim and a majestic Japanese house. Each container has different style, all of which are beautiful and have a dignified appearance. The museum also offers classes (for a fee and available in English and Chinese) where you can experience the charm of bonsai. Classes can be booked three days in advance. All you have to bring is yourself as tools and training bonsai are provided. Since you may take completed bonsai home with you for an additional fee, drop by and experience the beauty of bonsai.
The Bonsai Museum was much better than I expected and quite interesting. I thought bonsai would be boring but the staff's introduction and the DIY workshop were all great. The museum isn't very big but there are some good photo opportunities.
Mika Lin
A bonsai museum with its traditional atmosphere was an unexpected find in a metropolis like Tokyo. I was amazed by the oasis calm that I found in the museum courtyard. This time, I took part in the bonsai workshop at Shunkaen. The teacher patiently explained the ins and outs of bonsai in Chinese and taught us several techniques such as how to wind wire around the branches of the pine tree. The experience was quite special. My pine tree finally looked a lot more free-flowing after a lot of hard work.
JR Sobu Line local train
Koiwa-->Yoyogi
Yoyogi-->Shibuya
Shibuyamore
Shibuya district is the origins of youth culture. You will find several famous restaurants, bars, night clubs and live music venues flourishing among rows of stylish department stores and shops with a constant vibrant and youthful atmosphere. Shibuya is definitely the place to go to if you want to get the latest kawaii (cute) trends published in magazines. In addition, you can also enjoy dining at fashionable cafés and affordable eateries. Situated in front of Shibuya Station are some of the district's landmarks such as the statue of Hachiko and the "Shibuya Scramble Crossing."
Lunch: Ryan. A new style of buckwheat noodle restaurant. This is a high-end restaurant and the ambiance and food were all excellent. It should be popular with younger people.
Konno Hachimangu Shrine: Finding such a large and historical shrine in the heart of Shibuya was rather surprising. The environment is good and is well worth a tour.
Shibya Stream: There are many restaurants to choose from and the vibes are quite positive. I'd recommend it for travelers who like new things. You can get a sense of Tokyu Toyoko Express Line's history here in the mall.
Ryan is a buckwheat noodle restaurant that left a strong impression on me. The interior design and ambiance was like a high-end restaurant with an attached bar. To my surprise, the menu was dedicated to buckwheat noodles! Buckwheat noodles are usually served with tempura. Here sashimi and entrées are also provided to satisfy both the senses of sight and taste. Finishing it all off with a plate of firm yet chewy buckwheat noodles was quite satisfying! You can also see the chef preparing the buckwheat noodles in the restaurant.
In addition to popular attractions such as the statue of Hachiko and the Shibuya Crossing, we also took a stroll through the newly opened Shibuya Stream and the traditional Konno Hachimangu Shrine. The mix of old and new is what makes Shibuya so magical! I will never forget the moment that I looked down from the rooftop observation deck on Shibuya 109 at the Shibyua Crossing. The sight of well-ordered people and cars made my heart skip a beat.
Shibuya-->Daikanyama
(3 minutes)
Daikanyamamore
Daikanyama is the starting point of the latest modes. Daikanyama, also known for its high end residential properties, is dotted with embassies and houses owned by foreign nationals, providing a unique, cosmopolitan ambience. The main streets that fan out from Daikanyama Station include Hachiman Street that continues on to Shibuya, the former Yamate Street that heads to Komaba, and Komazawa Street that goes to Ebisu. Along these streets is Hillside Terrace, which stands as a symbol of the neighborhood with its high end and unique shops and restaurants, providing for fun outings in terms of both shopping and dining out. The wide streets lined with greenery and many tall trees, despite its downtown location, provide a perfect backdrop for a walk.
Daikanyama is a good place for a walk. It has a relaxed atmosphere and a lot of shops. Most of them are boutique brands but there's nothing wrong with window shopping. I recommend the area around Tsutaya Books. The Kyu Asakura House was more unique than I thought. It has beautiful views and a very stylish building. Admission is quite reasonable and it is not far from the station. A tour by itself is already charming enough but the chance to dress in a kimono, take part in a tea ceremony or admire the autumn leaves might make it even more interesting.
Everything about Daikanyama seems to say "high-class", "fashion" and "sophistication." The T-SITE (Tsutaya Books) in Daikanyama manages to combine all these elements in one place! When I arrived at Kyu Asakura House, I was able to experience traditional Japanese hospitality in this historical residence. I then visited the BOMBAY BAZAR cafe with its unusual interior. Every chair was different and the WC seemed straight out of a painting.
Tatsukichi Akihabara Store: A specialty fried skewer restaurant with character. Communication is not difficult for foreigners and the main attraction is being able to see the staff prepare the food in front of you. The food tastes good and isn't expensive either.
Tatsukichi Akihabara Store: This fried skewer specialty restaurant doesn't use a menu. Just tell the chef what ingredients you like or don't like and they'll come with a chef's selection of freshly prepared fried skewers that to surprise and delight you. There are many counter seats in the store. You can chat with the chefs while enjoying the fried skewers and beer. This is a great place whether you are with friends or by yourself.
Akihabara Washington Hotel
Akihabara Washington Hotel: Good location not far from the station. There are restaurants and shops nearby too. The room layout is good and has all the necessary functionality. Internet speeds are OK, the bed is comfortable, while the TV was surprisingly large.
Akihabara Washington Hotel is right outside the Central South exit of Akihabara station so transportation is very convenient. The hotel rooms are quite spacious and well-appointed. The mattress was very comfortable. There is also a smart phone that supports traditional Chinese language in the room. How convenient!
HOKURIKU(NIIGATA)
Tokyo Stationmore
October 2012 saw completion of the preservation and renovation work on the Tokyo Station Marunouchi Building. The red brick facade long loved as the symbol of Tokyo Station has made a comeback, along with the history and grandeur of the original building dating nearly a hundred years back. The occasion also saw the reopening of Tokyo Station Hotel and Tokyo Station Gallery. The former is the only hotel situated within an important cultural property of Japan. The interior is designed in a sophisticated, classical European style to blend with the splendor of the Marunouchi Building exterior.
JR Joetsu Shinkansen
I've always recommended Shinkansen's upper floor because you get the best views along the way. The seats are quite spacious too.
The departure station this was Ueno and it is quite close. I even bought a bento lunchbox at the station before getting aboard so I could enjoy a delicious lunch while riding the Shinkansen. Getting from Tokyo to Echigo Yuzawa takes around 1 hour and 20 minutes. I would've visited Niigata earlier if I had known! Getting there by Shinkansen is really convenient!
Echigo-Yuzawa Stationmore
CoCoLo Yuzawa Gangi Dori opened in December 2009. "Gangi Dori" is a street with a nostalgic atmosphere where the townscape from the early Showa Period has been recreated with houses lining covered alleys ("gangi"). The shops sell a wide variety of local souvenirs, including "sasadango (dumplings wrapped in bamboo leaf)," which is a specialty confectionary of Niigata Prefecture.
The station building also has a lot more to offer, including the "Tabearuki Yokocho," a street lined with restaurants, a tourist information center, the Visitor Center with a rent-a-car counter, and the Ponshu-kan selling numerous kinds of sake.
Hokuetsu Express Hokuhoku Line Echigo-Yuzawa Station → Matsudai
(around 30 minutes)
I've seen quite a few of James Turrell's works. This one is the most playful and also the one that is really in keeping with his style. There are a lot of options of interaction and an overnight will no doubt leave an even stronger impression.
Kiss & Goodbye: Jimmy is quite well-known in Hong Kong and the two exhibitions with Jimmy's art designs are quite interesting. They are well worth a visit and good for photos. The station is nearby and transportation is convenient.
Soba no Sato Abuzaka: The buffet + buckwheat noodles is a combination you don't see often. The restaurant has a homely atmosphere and the prices are reasonable. There are good views on the 2F and what matters is the great-tasting buckwheat noodles.
The House of Light looks like a traditional Japanese house from the outside. A magical world of light and colors is hidden within! One of the rooms feature a square skylight. When the weather is good, the roof can be opened to reveal the sky. Lying on the floor to look up at the sky beyond the skylight while basking in the natural sunlight is very relaxing.
The "Echigo-Tsumari Art Triennale" is very famous. Though I had already seen the photos of some artworks before my visit, you truly had to see them for yourself to feel the full impact. The room with works by Jimmy had quite a fairy tale-like look to the layout that made you feel as if you were actually in one of Jimmy's illustrated books. All the memories of my childhood seemed to come flooding back.
A wide variety of side-dishes are served at Soba no Sato Abuzaka. Tempura along with stews and pickles. Local ingredients are featured too. Unlike other regions, here the buckwheat noodles are served in bundles. Seaweed is also added when the noodles are being made to give them a slick, tender texture that keeps you coming back for more. Outside of the restaurant windows is an expanse of farmland. You can sit back, and enjoy the view and buckwheat noodles.
Matsudai Nohbutaimore
Matsudai area of Tokamachi City is mostly mountains and known for some of the heaviest snowfalls in the world in winter. Cultivating rice fields on the slope of mountains, changing the river flow to create rice fields, and planting trees after mudslides was the way the locals have co-existed with nature in farming villages, creating the so-called "satoyama" that Japan boasts to the world. Matsudai Nohbutai is a field museum of farming culture and art for discovering and promoting this lifestyle in the snow country.
This was my second visit but the building and nearby artworks still spoke to me. Seeing Kusama's works again really made my day. The building itself can serve as a hub for visitors to the Triennial that want to tour nearby artworks.
Bijinbayashi: The scenery is breathtaking and screams for IG and FB photos. It is easy to get to as well. Forest Classroom of Kyororo: Very unusual appearance. The art installations are quite nice and the observation deck has good views.
Matsudai Nohbutai is probably my favorite place in the Echigo-Tsumari. Every room, restaurant and even the toilets seem post-card perfect so you can take great selfies with ease. The pastel blue restaurant was itself a quite fantastic sight. Beyond the French windows is a picture-perfect farming village. The mirrored table surface even reflects the decorations on the ceilings! Walk into the classroom and everything is black-green. Upon closer examination, you realize that everything is made from the same material as the blackboard. You can therefore pick up a length of chalk and start drawing anywhere. Having a classroom like this makes you want to go back to school! Here I learned that art doesn't necessarily have to be very aloof and distant. It can be quite "earthy" and humorous too. I just can't stop myself from wanting to return.
When I first heard about "Bijinbayashi", I took it at face value and thought it was a region famous for its beautiful women. I eventually discovered that "Bijinbayashi" referred to the beech trees in the forest! The form and color of the beech tree changes with the season. At the time of our visit, some of the leaves were beginning to turn yellow. Creating a very picturesque effect. The "Forest School of Kyororo" is shaped like a giant serpent. Inside the school are a variety of natural experiences. Perfect for family outings.
Hokuetsu Express Hokuhoku Line Matsudai→Echigo-Yuzawa Station
Shousenkaku Kagetsu
I like the hotel's traditional Japanese ambiance. You can also enjoy delicious cuisine made with fresh Niigata ingredients. The plates are beautifully arranged and the service is very attentive. The hand-written menu details where all the ingredients come from in Niigata and what makes them so special - that's a win in my book.
This is a very famous hot spring hotel in the Yuzawa region. It is located on the hot spring street not far away from the JR station. The food and accommodation are exceptional as well. The room had a comfortable layout and the open-air hot spring was first-class. The hand-written menu in the hotel communicated the staff and manager's commitment and attention to detail.
Dinner was at a Japanese-style room at "Shousenkaku Kagetsu." You can have dinner while wearing a yukata so it really felt like you were on holiday in Japan. Dinner was quite extensive in terms of its proportions and variety. The menu included walnut tofu, sashimi and wagyu beef sukiyaki. I was quite satisfied with the quality and how different it was. Interestingly, the menu here included a hand-painted illustrated map showing the types of ingredients and where they came from. The mix of drawings and text reflected how much thought the chef put into the food and their guests.
The hotel is very popular with the locals. It boasts very elegant Japanese-style furnishing and gardens. My room was very spacious and had its own bathroom. It was a traditional Japanese room with a futon bed laid out on the tatami. You might want to go for a soak in the open-air hot spring the next morning as well.
Kiyotsu Gorge: This destination was my absolute favorite from this itinerary. The scenery was of course beautiful but the way that art was perfectly fused into a traditional sight was absolutely outstanding. It wasn't the time for autumn views but that was enough to move me to tears. I strongly recommend it for every visitor to Niigata.
Bokushi Street: I didn't stay long here and didn't go into many of the shops. I've always felt nothing but respect for these old streets that try to preserve and promote the old traditions. It's suitable for customers who want to experience the Edo-period of Japan. I hope there can be enough time to really get to appreciate the area next time.
No trip to Kiyotsu Gorge can be considered complete without visiting the Kiyotsu Gorge Tunnel to see a play of light and shadow in Mother Nature. Walk along a length of the tunnel and you come to the signature "Tunnel of Light." The reflection of Kiyotsu Gorge in the "Tunnel of Light" forms a perfect circle that made tourists and me stop to admire the sight take photos.
Bokushi Street is an Edo-style old street that boasts its own distinctive ambiance. There are no power poles here and the street looks beautiful under the blue sky.
Shiozawa is also famous for its traditional weaving. During our visit to "Nakajimaya" we looked at the examples of woven Echigo-jofu and Shiozawa-tsumugi on display in the store. After our tour, the store staff even allowed me to try on an antique kimono jacket. I was absolutely thrilled.
JR Joetsu Shinkansen Echigo-Yuzawa Station→Urasa Around 10 minutes
Around 15 minutes by taxi from JR Urasa Station
Uonumanosatomore
The people of the snow country of Uonuma continue to make use of ancient wisdom to coexist in harmony with nature while enjoying the changing of the four seasons, and making sure the knowhow is passed on to future generations. The region, blessed with the rural scenery of a satoyama, is dotted with places where visitors can relax, including Hakkaisan Yukimuro with a cafe, a shop, and a kitchen goods store, Sobaya Nagamori (a soba noodle restaurant), Bukabunka (a restaurant serving local cuisine), Satoya (a confectionary shop), Tsutsumiya Hachikura (providing a wrapping service), etc. Enjoy the beauty of the four seasons that bring back memories of days gone by, and discover genuine Uonuma.
More interesting than the average brewery tour. The contemporary architecture is not something you see often as well. The sake was of course delicious and the prices quite reasonable so I bought some too. They are good as gifts or for your own consumption. This is a good stopover during the trip.
I didn't expect to find such an exceptional sushi restaurant in the Niigata region. I can understand why customers keep on coming back too - I feel the same way. The sushi was of high quality and made with in-season ingredients. The prices were also a lot easier on the pocket than Tokyo.
Approximately one thousand tons of snow are held in the "Hakkaisan Snow Room" for storing Japanese sake and wild vegetables. It is really impressive how people in the old days used the power of nature to store food. The shochu liquor storeroom also contains a liquor called "Menkou Mirai - Facing the Future." You can write something thoughtful on the bottle and arrange for the store to deliver the liquor to you in up to five years' time. On one bottle, it said: "I turn 65 this year, I will give a toast to health in 5 years' time when I turn 70!" Such heart-warming messages were so romantic.
I was really looking forward to the sushi at "Ryu-zushi" due to the glowing recommendation from Mr. Lan Cai. Being able to chat to the chef while watching him prepare the sushi was a fun experience. The calamari, largehead hairtail, perch and sea urchin were some of the more memorable sushi this time. The cooked octopus and fried jewfish were full of flavor too.
Around 15 minutes by taxi to JR Urasa Station
Urasa → Niigata
Around 35 minutes
Niigata Stationmore
Niigata Station is the transport hub of Niigata City, and in addition to Station Shopping Center CoCoLo, and Ponshu-kan, a sake amusement park, a variety of shops can be found there where visitors can enjoy shopping and dining.
Being able to try up to 5 types of Niigata-produced sake for just 500 yen is a bargain. The sake-tasting process itself was quite interesting too. This is a facility that will really catch visitors' attention. It has an attached souvenir shop where you can buy local souvenirs while trying the sake. Very convenient.
*Prices are for travelers at the time of use.
This was also more interesting than I thought. I am not really into senbei myself but that changed after I tried my hand at making it. Senbei that you made yourself makes quite a good souvenir too. The price for the DIY session was acceptable.
You can buy all sorts of souvenir snacks at the "Niigata Ponshukan." There are glass bottles that contain dried apples and oranges. Simply pour some sake into the bottle to create delicious cocktails! Sake-tasting is also available. You can try 5 cups for just 500 Yen. I picked several types of sake produced in Niigata to try. Apart from sake, there is also plum wine. That was really delicious too.
At "Senbei Okoku," customers can try their hand at making rice crackers. Roasting rice crackers on the grill will warm you up even when it's freezing cold outside. Rice crackers are clamped with a pair of pliers then held over the grill. You can paint a design on the rice cracker with soy sauce. I don't have much faith in my drawing skills but I did manage to draw a cute bear so that really cheered me up!
JR Uetsu Main Line Limited Express
Niigata → Murakami
Bus Murakamieki-mae → Senami Onsen
Senami Onsen New Heartpia Senami
All kinds of gourmet food from Niigata were featured. Murakami beef on clay tile and salted salmon in particular were quite memorable.
You can admire the Sea of Japan from the room. This, along with the hot spring, food and wine, meant that it was money well spent.
Our dinner today was at a hot spring hotel. The food was plentiful and the dishes were quite opulent. My favorites were the sashimi, steak on clay tile and fried flounder. The real surprise on the menu was the crab! The sweet and juicy crab legs exceeded my expectations~
The main selling point of this hotel is probably the view outside the window. When you draw back the curtains in the morning, the endless blue sea in all of its glory is revealed in front of you! When you go and soak in the hot spring during the day you can enjoy the view as well. Such a hot spring experience will no doubt leave everyone on family trips and company vacations satisfied.
Bus Senami Onsen → Murakamieki-mae Around 10 minutes
Walking around Murakamimore
Dotted throughout the former castle town of Murakami are traditional houses that continue to be used today as houses and shops. Many of the "machiya (traditional townhouses)," made using traditional methods, have been opened to the public, allowing visitors to enjoy walking around the town. Senami Onsen is located nearby from where visitors can see panoramic views of the sun setting in the Sea of Japan, and allowing them to enjoy traditional Japanese culture and hot springs at the same time.
The two DIY sessions were quite interesting. The tea dye however was rather time-consuming but it's OK if you have the time. The streets of Murakami have a great atmosphere and I particularly like this region because one of my favorite idols grew up here so I pay particular attention to the places that she has been too. The salmon house is well worth checking out. All the salmon hanging in there are guaranteed to be a hit on IG.
If you visit Murakami then you should eat Murakami beef and Chidori is the place to do that. Grilled beef is the best way to eat it and the prices are okay too. It's definitely delicious and the popularity of the restaurant means that you won't regret it.
This is a more traditional brewery tour. It's a bit tame compared to the other one in Uonuma no Sato but the brewery itself is quite famous, so I'll recommend it to tourists because there's self-service wine tasting available.
The city of Murakami is a historic castle town where you can experience the traditional culture of Niigata. It was very quiet during our morning stroll. The staff in the shops were all very friendly and you feel relaxed just being here. Our first stop was "Yamagami-some" where we tried our hand at the tea dye of the north. First, apply the "dye agent" you like to the fabric. Once it goes through the process of roasting, cooking, scraping and washing, the result is a beautiful pattern. Next we visited the "Murakami Carved Lacquer-ware Society" to make chopsticks. The chopsticks will be delivered to us in 1 ~ 3 weeks' time. I am really looking forward to it! After the chopstick-making session, we set course for a salmon shop. Over a thousand salmon hung from the ceiling of the store. All kinds of salmon snacks are sold here and there are samples for the customer to try. This is the place to go if you want salmon souvenir snacks.
Chidori is a very comfortable Japanese restaurant that offers very reasonably priced lunch set menus as well as high-end roast Murakami beef. Everyone can find something they like here even if they have different preferences. I am a seafood lover so I ordered the Damata rice chef's special. The rice is not only covered in seafood such as salmon roe, tuna and calamari but also unusual local specialties such as dried salmon and roast chicken. The portions were quite generous and I felt stuffed after eating the whole bowl.
"Imayo Tsukasa Brewery" is quite a modern operation and is known for its sake-tasting area. Here customers can try out all kinds of sake and amazake (sweet sake). You can then buy and take your favorite sake home with you as a souvenir. I picked a sake named "Daruma Masamune" with gold foil. It was a lovely drink that wasn't too expensive. I regret not buying more of it...

Dress up in "Geisha Style" just like in an "ukiyo-e" painting. Wear a luxurious traditional Japanese kimono, and have your hair done in a style of extreme extravagance to experience the ultimate in feminine beauty. A photo session against an exotic backdrop in the studio will be a unique and exciting highlight of your trip to Niigata.
Girls will probably love this because the experience and photo-shoot is not something you see every day. The prices are acceptable as well. Men can give it a try too even though the photo might come out a bit strange. It might be more interesting if you can do outdoor shoots at shrines. It does take a lot of time too. Avoid arranging it on the day that you plan to return Tokyo. It's best to stay in Niigata instead.
You can get a taste of what it's like to be a geisha in Niigata! I was really excited with my first geisha experience. The make-up and dressing took an hour but the whole process excited me to no end! According to the staff, geisha make-up design focuses on making the face look small. The hair on either side and ornate jewelry are then used to accentuate the lines of the face. I was impressed by their philosophy of emphasizing the "character" of each person. The make-up artist doesn't turn everyone into identical-looking geisha. Instead, the facial features are highlighted to emphasize the unique beauty of each person. Instead of having our photos taken in the studio, we went off to take photos at historic houses nearby for a different look.
Bus Higashibori-dori Juban-cho → Niigataeki-mae Around 20 minutes
Niigata Station
The overall itinerary seems fine. Most of the sights are well worth visiting and can be recommended to other travelers from Hong Kong.
For my first tour of Niigata, everything from the food to the sights and traditional craft sessions were all very satisfying. There were also plenty of "selfie photo-op" locations! I still missed the delicious sushi and buckwheat noodles after I returned to Tokyo. I give this trip a 5-star rating for pure satisfaction! It's just 2 hours from Tokyo by Shinkansen. I would love to go there again some day!
RECOMMENDATIONS FROM OTHER TRAVELERS
I think the itinerary is suitable for ordinary travelers. It's good for travelers that want to see more sights and there are no issues with transport.
Interests are travel/food/arts
Number of visits to Japan
More than 100 visits to Japan
Getting from Tokyo to Niigata is easy as it's only 1 ~ 2 hours by Shinkansen. Niigata is an excellent choice to discover Japanese culture, food and arts different to that of Tokyo. Once you try the sushi and buckwheat noodles you'll be hooked. Many people visit Niigata to try these delicious foods!

Even more fortunately, you can Google this problem and find situationally-specific solutions that don't apply to you at all.
So here is an easy generic one, culled from the one commonality in all those cases.
In your user directory, find your .atom folder. This may require enabling hidden files. Fortunately, Atom has a button in Settings to get you there fast ( File > Settings > Open Config Folder ).
If you don't have a file named .apmrc in your .atom folder, create one. This is not the one in the .apm folder, that is something different. Don't touch it.
Save and restart your editor.
If it doesn't work for you, then you have proxy issues that require looking at the situationally-specific ones and adapting them to your specific situation.

ABOUT FIBA 3x3
Exciting, urban and innovative, 3x3 is inspired by several forms of streetball played worldwide and is considered the world's number one urban team sport. Steered by FIBA, games see two teams of three players face off on a basketball half-court.
It was played successfully for the first time in international competition at the 2010 Youth Olympic Games in Singapore and since then has benefited from the launch of a yearly city-based FIBA 3x3 World Tour (www.fiba.basketball/3x3worldtour) and national-team FIBA 3x3 World & Continental Cups. On June 9, 2017, 3x3 was added to the Olympic Program, starting from the Tokyo 2020 Games.

Current Administration
MacDowell Community Council Inc.
(MCCI) elected a new President, Officers and Board of Directors:
President – Fred Brown
(Deputy Vice President) – Lennie Stone
1st Vice President – Glenn Walker
2nd Vice President – David McNear
Secretary – Jennifer Archie
Treasurer – Amyre Vincent
Sergeant st Arms – Richard Vincent
Board Member – Charles Harvey
Board Member – NKenge Reed
() Denotes Interim
The MacDowell Community Council Inc. (MCCI) was founded in 1989 under the name of Meyers Seven Mile, Wyoming and St. Martin Community Council. (MSWSCC) The organization (MSWSCC) was formed to qualify its residents for neighborhood opportunity fund (NOF) grants and to have a unified voice for the block clubs in the community. Bobbie Parrott was president and Charles Harvey was Vice President. Mr. Parrott resigned as President because of the lack of participation by our community residents. Shortly after that time, Mr. Parrott passed away and MSWSCC was not fully active for a while. Later in the year 2000, Charles Harvey started having meetings and attempting to get neighborhood opportunity grants.
In 2009, our community group was reorganized and Charles Harvey was elected president. We made changes to the name, mission and structure. The organization's name was changed to a different assumed name and was incorporated as MacDowell Community Council Inc. (MCCI) as a non-profit. We changed our name so that MCCI reflected the great school MacDowell Elementary School represents in our community.
MacDowell Community Radio Patrol, Inc
We have formed a separate organization (MacDowell Community Radio Patrol, Inc) to help reduce the crime in our community. Since its inception in April 2012, we have 24 volunteer residents, which have been vetted by the Detroit Police Department in order to participate in our Radio Patrol. We coordinate with the Blackstone, U of D Community, Schultz and Greenwich Park group Presidents in patrolling our respective areas and gain from their experience in managing a Radio Patrol.
We encourage residents in our community to work together to obtain snow removal service, which makes our community safer for fire and ambulance access for us all but particularly the disabled, and seniors. On Saturday August 27, 2011, we held a Meet & Greet street party and Back Pack Drive.
The parties was held at the Wesley Community Center, was held as a meet, greet your neighbor, and enjoy an afternoon of fun, food and fellowship. Our goal was to have a function where neighbors get to know each other and get them involved in maintaining our community while enjoying good music. We had a bouncing house and face painting for the children. Our members provided school supplies, backpacks, folders, notebooks, pencils, etc to ensure our children are prepared for success during the upcoming school year. Detroit Medical Center personnel came to our meet and greet to provide medical screening for our residents. We received donations from twelve businesses in our community to help sponsor the event and all had a great time.
We learned during the NOF minor home repair process that children six years and younger in families who qualify for NOF grants are required to be tested for lead poison. Following the processing of those families who had received grants he coordinated with the Principle, Ms Haywood of the MacDowell school and the Coordinator at Herman Kiefer Hospital to have all of the children six and under in MacDowell Elementary school tested for lead poison. Historical data seems to indicate that children who live on busy streets with heavy truck and bus traffic are more prone to have lead poison in their system. Our goal is to spread this information to other community groups in our city so that they can have all children within their communities six year old and under tested for lead poison.

Q: Problem using Slidable with onPressed. (flutter_slidable: ^1.2.0) I am having trouble with flutter_slidable: ^1.2.0.
Looking at the code below
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:flutter/widgets.dart';
import 'package:flutter_slidable/flutter_slidable.dart';

class SlidableWidget extends StatelessWidget {
  final Widget child;
  final void Function(BuildContext context) onDismissed;

  const SlidableWidget({required this.child, required this.onDismissed, Key? key}) : super(key: key);

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) => Slidable(
        child: child,
        endActionPane: const ActionPane(motion: ScrollMotion(), children: [
          SlidableAction(
            flex: 1,
            onPressed: this.onDismissed(context),
            backgroundColor: Colors.red,
            foregroundColor: Colors.white,
            icon: Icons.delete,
            label: 'Delete',
          ),
        ],
        extentRatio: 0.2,),
      );
}

I want onDismissed function to be passed as a parameter but on the line onPressed: this.onDismissed(context), it isn't right. It says Invalid const value. But I don't know what is wrong and how to solve it.  Can anyone explain me?

Thank you so much.

Sura

A: Remove "const" before ActionPane
then you can use this:
onPressed:(BuildContext context){
},

Spiraling Growth of Accommodation in the Informal Sector: Bane or Boon of Sri Lanka's Tourism?
Tourism is the third largest revenue earner for Sri Lanka, accounting for US$ 3.5 billion in 2016. With the rise of informal accommodation, there have been both challenges and opportunities in the industry. This blog argues that registering and regulating the informal sector is necessary to create a level playing field in the industry, to maintain standards, and to encourage small service providers.
Although microinsurance is considered a tool for addressing gaps in insurance coverage and a means of improving social safety nets in the country, the absence of a clear focus on microinsurance within insurance legislation continues to be an impediment. In this context, this article examines whether regulating microinsurance is a necessity or whether it could discourage the industry's progress.


Several weeks ago I received Charlotte Moss' latest tome "Garden Inspirations" from Rizzoli, the publisher. This new book sat waiting for me to dive in – and it's quite a deep dive. Charlotte is one of my favorite designers and design inspirations. She does so many things just so well. It's no wonder her gardens are incredible, thoughtful and chock-a-block full of all that makes her so special. As a matter of fact, she's the only guest we had twice on The Skirted Roundtable. You can listen to her two podcasts here and here.
Lots of detail shots – all shot by Ms. Moss herself. Such great inspiration!
Her amazing potting room. I'd love to have a potting shed. Maybe if I had a place like this, I'd do more gardening… or not. A girl can dream!
"Garden Inspirations" is a great book for gardeners and dreamers alike! You can purchase a signed copy from Charlotte's website here.


The simultaneous formation of an → electron and a → positron in the → pair production process.
→ electron; → positron; → pair.
1) Something consisting of or regarded as having two parts or pieces joined together. → pair annihilation; → pair production.
2) Two identical, similar, or corresponding things.
M.E., from O.Fr. paire, from L. paria "equals," neuter plural of par (genitive paris) "a pair, counterpart, equal."
1) Joft "pair, couple," Lori, Laki jeft, Qâyeni jof, Tabari jeft, Mid.Pers. yuxt "pair, couple," Av. yuxta- "a team of horses," from yaog- "to yoke, harness, put to; to join, unite," infinitive yuxta, Mid.Pers. jug, ayoxtan "to join, yoke," Mod.Pers. yuq "yoke;" cf. Skt. yuga- "yoke," Gk. zygon "yoke," zeugnyanai "to join, unite," L. jugare "to join," from jugum "yoke," P.Gmc. *yukam, E. yoke; PIE *yeug- "to join."

O.Pers./Av. ham-, Skt. sam-; also O.Pers./Av. hama- "one and the same;" Skt. sama-; Gk. homos-; originally identical with PIE numeral *sam- "one," from *som-. The Av. ham- appears in various forms: han- (before gutturals, palatals, dentals) and also hem-, hen-) + suffix -âl, → -al.
Mutual destruction of a particle and its antiparticle, such as an electron-positron pair, when they collide. The total energy of the two particles is converted into energy as gamma rays. It is the inverse process to → pair production.
An instability arising from the → pair production inside a → massive star leading to energetic → supernova explosions. The pair instability occurs when, late in the star's life, the core reaches a sufficiently high temperature after → carbon burning, a condition in which the pair production can take place. The pairs of electron and positron annihilate to form a neutrino and an anti-neutrino. Consequently, the pressure drops and the outer layers fall in onto the core. The temperature and pressure increase rapidly and eventually titanic nuclear burning causes an extraordinary explosion with energies higher than 1051 erg. See also → pair-instability supernova and → pulsational pair-instability supernova.
The creation of an → elementary particle and its → antiparticle from a → boson. For example, the formation of an → electron and a → positron in the interaction of high-energy → gamma ray photons, having at least 1.02 Mev, with an → atomic nucleus (γ → e- + e+). The → rest masses of the electron and positron being 0.51 MeV each, the excess energy will be carried away by these two particles. Pair production is the inverse process to → pair annihilation.
A special type of → supernova that would result from the → pair instability in → supermassive stars with a mass range between 140 and 260 Msun in a low → metallicity environment. Such objects descended from the → Population III stars in the early history of the Universe. Such supernovae are the most powerful thermonuclear explosions in the Universe. Pair-instability supernovae may have played an important role in the synthesis of → heavy elements. Moreover, the energetic feedback of the processed elements to their surroundings could have affected the structure and evolution of the early Universe (See, e.g., Fryer et al. 2001, ApJ 550, 372; Heger & Woosley 2002, ApJ 567, 532). See also → pulsational pair-instability supernova.
→ pair; → instability; → supernova.
In nuclear physics, the extra binding energy associated with pairs of nucleons of the same kind. This quantity expresses the fact that nuclei with odd numbers of neutrons and protons have less energy and are less stable than those with even numbers of neutrons and protons.
Pairing, verbal noun of → pair; → energy.
A → supernova resulting from the → pair instability that generates several successive explosions. According to models, a first pulse ejects many solar masses of hydrogen layers as a shell. After the first explosion, the remaining core contracts and searches for a stable burning state. When the next explosion occurs a few years later, several solar masses of material are again ejected, which collide with the earlier ejecta. This collision can radiate 1050 erg of light, about a factor of ten more than an ordinary → core-collapse supernova. After each pulse, the remaining core contracts, radiates neutrinos and light, and searches again for a stable burning state. Later ejections have lower mass, but have higher energy. They quickly catch up with the first shell, where the collision dissipates most of their kinetic energy as radiation. The first SNe from → Population III stars are likely due to pulsational pair instability (Woosley et al. 2007, Nature 450, 390). See also → pair-instability supernova.
→ pulsational; → pair; → instability.
