2 A note for lab. The equation we have for total energy was E =K 1 +K 2 +K 3 +…V(r 12 )+ V(r 13 )+ V(r 23 )+… It is possible to have more than one type of kinetic energy. K i represents the energy due to the center of mass, we can also have rotational kinetic energy. The equations for this are given in the lab.
3 Electromagnetic interaction where k=8.99x10 9 j·m/C 2 q 1 and q 2 are charges separated by a distance r It is important to begin a formula sheet that will continue throughout the semester. A good formula sheet will be very helpful on the problems and tests.
4 Case for like and unlike charges q 1 q 2 >0 V(r) q 1 q 2 <0 V(r) RepulsiveAttractive Like charges repel Unlike charges attract One charge is at the origin One way to remember if the potential is attractive or repulsive is to consider the direction a ball would roll if placed on the potential.
6 Comparison of electromagnetic and gravitational potentials. G = 6.67 x 10 -11 j·m/kg 2 k=8.99x10 9 j·m/C 2 The electromagnetic potential is 10 20 times greater than gravity.
7 Potential energy of a spring V(x)=½ k s x 2 where x is the amount the spring is compressed or stretched k s is the spring constant, tells how hard it is to stretch the spring. F=-k s x where F is the force to stretch the spring and x is the distance it is stretched.
11 Because the Earth is isolated in space, energy is conserved and we can write: Change in KE of rocket Change in KE of the Earth = 0 because the Earth is so massive. Potential energy r f →∞, v f →0 What is v i ? V i = 11.2 km/s There are two objects, the Earth and the rocket, and we must consider the interaction between these two objects.

Q: Can spin operator expectation value be time-independent while commutator with Hamiltonian is non-zero? Considering the following (magnetic field) hamiltonian: $\hat{H}=-\gamma B_z \hat{S}_z$ ($\gamma$ is a constant). Suppose an electron is in an eigenstate of $S_x$, and we ask ourselves the question whether the expected value of $S_z$ changes with time. This is not the case, as $[\hat{H}, \hat{S}_z]=0$.
Now suppose we are in an eigenstate of $S_z$, does the $S_x$ expectation value change with time? Logically I would say it does because of the answer to the previous question. However, $[\hat{H}, \hat{S}_x]\neq 0$ indicating time dependence. So, will the expectation value of $S_x$ change with time or not?

A: The spin is undergoing Larmor precession about the magnetic field, so yes the $x$ and $y$ components will change while the component parallel to the field remains fixed..

A: The Ehrenfest theorem uses the expected value of the commutator. i.e. for some operator $\hat{A}$ the Ehrenfest theorem says
$$\frac{d}{dt} \langle\hat{A}\rangle = \frac{1}{i\hbar} \langle[\hat{A}, \hat{H}]\rangle + \langle\frac{\partial\hat{A}}{\partial t}\rangle.$$
In your case while $[\hat{S}_x, \hat{H}] \neq 0,$ its expectation value will still be zero thus the expectation value of $\hat{S}_x$ will not depend on time. Should be straightforward to show that $\langle[\hat{S}_x, \hat{S}_z]\rangle = 0$ with the spin commutator relations.
Edit: For your first point, if the only Hamiltonian is the one you've given then the particle won't be in an eigenstate of $\hat{S}_x$. If it was in such an eigenstate before the magnetic field was turned on the wavefunction will collapse into one of the possible $\hat{S}_z$ eigenstates once the field is turned on.

Margy Stratton, founder and executive producer of Milwaukee Reads continues her series of events featuring writers of particular interest to women.
Lynden Sculpture Garden's Women's Speaker Series, Bronze Optical, and Boswell Books welcome Elizabeth Berg, author of The Dream Lover, to the Lynden Sculpture Garden, Thursday, April 28, 7-9 pm.
At the beginning of this powerful novel, we meet Aurore Dupin as she is leaving her estranged husband, a loveless marriage, and her family's estate in the French countryside to start a new life in Paris. There, she gives herself a new name—George Sand—and pursues her dream of becoming a writer, embracing an unconventional and even scandalous lifestyle.
Paris in the nineteenth century comes vividly alive, illuminated by the story of the loves, passions, and fierce struggles of a woman who defied the confines of society. Sand's many lovers and friends include Frédéric Chopin, Gustave Flaubert, Franz Liszt, Eugène Delacroix, Victor Hugo, Marie Dorval, and Alfred de Musset. As Sand welcomes fame and friendship, she fights to overcome heartbreak and prejudice, failure and loss. Though considered the most gifted genius of her time, she works to reconcile the pain of her childhood, of disturbing relationships with her mother and daughter, and of her intimacies with women and men. Will the life she longs for always be just out of reach—a dream?
Brilliantly written in luminous prose, and with remarkable insights into the heart and mind of a literary force, The Dream Lover tells the unforgettable story of a courageous, irresistible woman.
"Exquisitely captivating . . . Sand's story is so timely and modern in an era when gender and sexual roles are upended daily."—USA Today
"Fantastic . . . a provocative and dazzling portrait . . . Berg tells a terrific story, while simultaneously exploring sexuality, art, and the difficult personal choices women artists in particular made—then and now—in order to succeed. . . . The book, imagistic and perfectly paced, full of dialogue that clips along, is a reader's dream."—The Boston Globe
"Absorbing . . . an armchair traveler's delight . . . Berg rolls out the wonders of nineteenth-century Paris in cinematic bursts that capture its light, its street life, its people and sounds. . . . The result is an illuminating portrait of a magnificent woman whose story is enriched by the delicate brush strokes of Berg's colorful imagination."—Chicago Tribune
"There is authority and confidence in the storytelling that makes the pages fly."—The New York Times
Elizabeth Berg is the author of many bestselling novels, including Tapestry of Fortunes, The Last Time I Saw You, Home Safe, The Year of Pleasures, and Dream When You're Feeling Blue, as well as two collections of short stories and two works of nonfiction. Open House was an Oprah's Book Club selection, Durable Goods and Joy School were selected as ALA Best Books of the Year, Talk Before Sleep was short-listed for an Abby Award, and The Pull of the Moon was adapted into a play. Berg has been honored by both the Boston Public Library and the Chicago Public Library. She is a popular speaker at venues around the country, and her work has been translated into twenty-seven languages. She is the founder of Writing Matters, a reading series designed to serve author, audience, and community. She divides her time between Chicago and San Francisco.

asked the President of the Board of Education whether, in view of the disappointment to local education authorities by the failure of Parliament to pass the Education (No. 2) Bill, under which £100,000 would have been distributed in relief of the loan charges for building schools, this sum, which has been voted in the Estimates and included in the Appropriation Bill, can in any way be made available in relief of education rates during the current financial year?
The money was placed at the Board's disposal conditionally on the passing of the Bill, which was directed to the establishment of a principle and clearing the way for a more substantial increase of relief. I ant not prepared to spend the money in a way which does not give effect to the intention of the Bill.

Walt Disney Co. Chairman and Chief Executive Robert Iger has extended his contract by one year, underscoring the challenges the company's board of directors has faced in finding a successor to lead Hollywood's iconic entertainment giant.
Iger, 66, previously was expected to leave the company at the end of June 2018. His new deal ends July 2, 2019. The extension, Iger's third since he became CEO in 2005, had been widely expected. It gives Disney's board more time to search for a successor — a process that has been closely watched by investors who've expressed concern over the apparent lack of progress on the issue.
With few obvious internal candidates, the board seems increasingly likely to look outside Disney for its next CEO. Replacing Iger will not be a simple task: the company has enjoyed an extended run of success under Iger, and seen its stock price more than quadruple on his watch.
In an appearance just hours after the contract news was announced Thursday, Iger said he was "serious this time around" about this being his last extension, and acknowledged the complexities of finding his successor.
"Succession is a complicated thing and we felt, meaning the board and I, [that] we could use more time to not only to spend on succession but to create a better transition so we mutually agreed to add another year," Iger said at the SCALE technology and entertainment conference, which was hosted by the USC Marshall and Annenberg schools. He was interviewed by his wife, Willow Bay, the incoming dean of the USC Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism.
Wall Street did not react strongly to Iger's new pact — shares of Disney rose 16 cents to $112.24 — possibly because the extension was considered a fait accompli among investors. But analysts were nevertheless happy about the decision.
"Investors will be pretty pleased with this," said analyst Robin Diedrich of Edward Jones Research. "Shareholders — and we — would agree that he is doing a pretty good job, so it is nice to see that this is confirmed that he will stay on."
Disney has been transformed by three multibillion-dollar acquisitions orchestrated by Iger: Pixar Animation Studios in 2006, Marvel Entertainment in 2009 and Lucasfilm in 2012. Those deals have provided the company with lucrative franchises such as "Star Wars" and "The Avengers," which have been pumped through its diverse array of businesses. Burbank-based Disney's stock is up nearly 8% this year.
Until February, Iger had been firm in saying he would leave Disney when his contract expired in 2018. But during a conference call with analysts last month he said that he was "open" to extending his deal — if the board deemed that the best course of action. Disney has no mandatory retirement age for the CEO role, though board members have to retire after they turn 74.
"It is obvious that the company and its shareholders will be best served by [Iger's] continued leadership as the board conducts the robust process of identifying a successor and ensuring a smooth transition," Orin C. Smith, independent lead director of the board, said in a statement.
Thomas Staggs, Iger's former heir apparent, left Disney's No. 2 post last year. Staggs' departure, which came after Disney's board privately expressed a lack of confidence in him, threw Disney's carefully orchestrated succession plans into question.
Replacing Iger will be tough in part because of the job description. Disney has a unique culture and far-flung businesses — including superhero movies and cruise ships — that any future CEO would have to fully grasp.
The company's next leader would inherit a largely different set of challenges from those Iger has tackled. In particular, major changes are afoot in the television industry.
Disney's cable television business has been hurt by cord-cutting and the slimmed-down TV packages offered by service providers.
ESPN, the crown jewel of Disney's TV unit, has lost more than 9 million subscribers since 2013, according to Nielsen data, and this month it confirmed plans to lay off a number of on-air personalities. Recently, Disney has made moves designed to strengthen its media operation, including a $1-billion investment last year in video streaming company BamTech.
"You probably need someone who is more new-media oriented, so it probably needs to be somebody outside the company," Michael Alpert, portfolio manager at Stralem & Co., which owns 269,000 shares of Disney, said this month.
"It's not just the cable business, theme parks business anymore," he said. "Somebody has to have a grip on that."
Disney's board has said very little publicly about its effort to find a replacement for Iger. When Staggs' departure was announced last year, the board said in a statement that it would "broaden the scope of its succession planning process to identify and evaluate a robust slate of candidates for consideration."
With Staggs now gone, Diedrich said "the alternatives at this point are not clear." She noted that "investors are not comfortable with uncertainty" — although it appears unavoidable in this situation.
"It does seem that with the change from Staggs ... that maybe there is more of an appetite for an external candidate," Diedrich said. "But I wouldn't rule out an internal candidate either."
Even before Staggs' departure, succession planning at Disney has been rocky at times. The company endured a protracted handoff from former CEO Michael Eisner to Iger in 2005.
Under terms of his contract extension, Iger's compensation will be determined using the same formulation as before. In fiscal 2016, Iger's total compensation was $43.9 million. His new pact calls for him to receive a $5-million bonus if he remains CEO until July 2019.
As part of the extension, Iger will remain as a consultant to Disney for three years after his CEO term ends. During the consulting period, he will receive $2 million for each of the first two years, and $1 million in the final year.

Albania's Eneda Tarifa Has First Eurovision 2016 Rehearsal in Casual Outfit (Video)
copyright Andres Putting (EBU)
While some Eurovision 2016 contestants really get glammed up, even for the first rehearsal, Albania's Eneda Tarifa went the opposite route for her first time on the Eurovision stage in Stockholm. Instead of a glamorous evening gown or something sparkly, Tarifa chose black leather pants, a white jacket and a white floral print t shirt instead, but she still managed to look stylish and cool.
Interestingly too, Tarifa has also gone with red hair for Eurovision 2016 which, in my opinion at least, does not suit her as well as her signature blonde locks.
As for Eneda Tarifa's staging of her Eurovision entry 'Fairytale', she had three backing singers during her first rehearsal, a blue backdrop and stage smoke.
Not particularly spectacular so far, so it will be interesting to see if/how it develops as rehearsals go on, as her original performance of the song during the Albania National Final was quite a bit more extravagant due to the lighting, her gown and the on live stage orchestra.
Sadly, though, Tarifa is singing 'Fairytale' in English. Unfortunate, as it was a much better song in her native Albanian. My guess? Probably not a finals qualifier. Then again, stranger things have happened.
We'll get to see Tarifa's actual first live performance of 'Fairytale' at the Eurovision 2016 second semi-final on May 12th. I'm guessing we'll see quite a lot of changes. Meanwhile, watch part of her first rehearsal in the video below.

«The Man Who Can't Be Moved» es el segundo sencillo de la banda Irlandesa The Script de su álbum homónimo The Script. La canción fue lanzada el 25 de julio de 2008. La canción ha sido usada para el show de CBS, Ghost Whisperer durante la cuarta temporada. La canción sirvió como su sencillo promocional de radio en Estados Unidos, ganando estar en múltiples estaciones de radio. El 8 de junio de 2009, la canción fue lanzada como el segundo sencillo oficial en Estados Unidos. La canción fue elegida como banda sonora para Victoria's Secret Fashion Show.

El invitado de Hannah Montana, Simon Curtis, hizo una versión de esta canción.

Vídeo musical
El vídeo fue subido en el canal oficial de YouTube de la banda el 27 de junio. Fue dirigido por Marc Klasfeld. Fue también lanzado en canales musicales en este período. El vídeo es muy similar al de "We Cry" en el sentido que Danny otra vez está caminando en una ciudad urbana y también hay tomas de la banda junta, en un estacionamiento en lugar de un piso en "We Cry". Sin embargo, es diferente porque hay una trama más evidente en este video. Danny está sentado en la calle pacientemente cantando sobre cómo él está esperando a una chica para que venga y se encuentre con él. La multitud comienzan a reunirse alrededor de él y él hace noticias, convirtiéndose en una celebrity. Cerca del final del vídeo hay escenas de tiempo transcurrido de días pasando y prescenciamos a Danny en la lluvia y en la nieve, creciendo y sí se mira con cuidado tiene más barba que en el comienzo, pero todavía está esperando en la acera. El vídeo termina con un primer plano de Danny quien todavía espera por la chica que no ha venido a encontrarlo. Sí ella lo hace o no, no lo sabemos.

Posiciones
El 27 de julio de 2008 la canción entró en UK Singles Chart en el número 30, con el tiempo llegando al número dos, por poco perdiendo el primer puesto ante Katy Perry "I Kissed a Girl". En esa tercera semana en la lista, la canción se movió desde el número 72 al número 19 en Nueva Zelanda. El 3 de noviembre de 2008, "The Man Who Can't Be Moved" debutó en el número 93 en Australia ARIA Singles Chart, pero fracasó, llegando al número 44. Aunque un año y medio después el sencillo ha sido certificado Oro en Australia indicando ventas de 35.000 copias. En Billboard Hot 100, debutó en el número 96, haciendo el segundo sencillo de "he Script" en entrar a la lista después de "Breakeven". El 19 de septiembre de 2010, "The Man Who Can't Be Moved" entró en el número 35 seguido al lanzamiento de su segundo álbum,  Science & Faith, que llegó al número 1 en UK Albums Chart.

First thing I'm going to be discussing my entire life experience with my pal that has Lupus and I'll be letting you know ways to personal heal yourself or increase your Lupus. That is focused on my pal. I first fulfilled my friend going to college within the last semester of 1995. I got eventually to know my pal perfectly and we spent period together as an organization with other close friends. The following yr she began lacking a lot of her classes. I understood this since I had been within the same system with her.
A couple weeks later on she confided if you ask me stating she experienced Lupus. I didn't understand much concerning this disease and I later on researched information onto it. It had been also referred because the disease of several faces because it was hard to diagnose. Lupus episodes its own disease fighting capability. The chronic swelling is due to autoimmune disease. The disease fighting capability is a complicated system which features or was created to battle bacterias or infectious providers for instance. With Lupus it's the invert procedure and it episodes within their very own body as opposed to the infectious agencies. Vee got SLE that is Systemic Lupus Erythematosus that impacts the inner organs. That season was very hard on her behalf and I helped whenever you can with homework, records, reminders on upcoming tasks and examinations. I observed she wasn't herself and she'd forget often of situations or dates which were recent. Section of which was the effects and different medicines she was acquiring such as for example Prednisone to lessen the irritation. She also got Joint disease and Rheumatism which managed to get very hard on her behalf to write records or even bring her books. Needless to say, as a pal I would make an effort to help whenever you can.
As the season continued she got extremely ill and she is at the hospital. Inside the month she returned to college and I was happy to find out her. Sadly, she proceeded to go into remission and factors were even worse. She lost a whole lot of pounds and she transpired to about 90 pounds at 5″4. She got support from her mom and I'd travel a considerable ways to go to her at a healthcare facility. I felt harmful to her since she was going right through a rough period with her wellness. I backed her alongside her family members and she returned on her foot more powerful than ever! Another season I enrolled right into a different plan and I ultimately went to an alternative school to spotlight my career route. We kept connected frequently and we stayed best of close friends many years afterwards! Over time, we kept connected and she ultimately got married! I used to be so happy on her behalf and we met up often for features and barbecue celebrations at her home. During her relationship the next couple of years she wasn't as well healthful and she was lacking work often. Throughout that stage she was jobless in/out because of her disease. She also got extremely ill once again and her disease fighting capability was weakened. The issue with Lupus is certainly that whenever your disease fighting capability is very weakened you are open up and susceptible to various other diseases. In cases like this, Vee found a flesh-eating disease to create necrotizing fasciitis. Throughout that season she also found TB (Tuberculosis) which really is a disease due to bacteria that always attacks the lung area. Vee was rushed back again to a healthcare facility when her lung area collapsed because of the TB. Fortunately, her mother was at the home caring for her when this occurred or else she'd have died instantly. I also desire to say that the main disease is tension and it generally does not help when folks have problems with their romantic relationship, finances, etc. Tension can cause stress and anxiety, weaken your disease fighting capability, depression, cultural phobia, etc. Even today, she found somebody very particular in her lifestyle after she experienced a divorce. Its somebody who I understood very well. Somebody who I've known for over twenty years. I am happy they met and they're a match manufactured in heaven!
Now, you know just a little about myself since I thought and experienced it with my pal. Certainly, I cant imagine the discomfort many people who have Lupus proceed through everyday but I could only respect and appearance as much as them. Like a person I am right here to aid and I am hoping to share my entire life encounters and understanding to assisting others making use of their medical issues. I've been through a stage in my own life after i was identified as having Optic Neuritis (which really is a type of Multiple Sclerosis) in 2004 but I under no circumstances informed anyone and I held this to myself until I converted my entire life around. Throughout that yr, I made a decision to do something into my very own hands and perform visualization with my deep breathing. I'd inhale 70 percent70 % and exhale completely. I did intensive research on deep breathing so when people we have a tendency to only concentrate on upper deep breathing. The following yr medical doctors stated it was eliminated with no description. In August 2007 I came across Qi Gong and everything my questions had been answered. A historical healing art that is around China for most centuries. I'm going to be talking about even more about Qi Gong when i explain how organic deep breathing functions in your body.
Organic deep breathing should involve the complete body deep breathing aspect. Like a baby, youngster or pet we breath such as this is whenever we are created. It requires the synergy or harmonious interplay using the lung area, diaphragm, belly, upper body, back and elements of our body. Organic breathing involves the correct acceleration and depth for that each. The proper real demands can be found so long as you aren't restricting yourself of in any manner or placing any pressure, contraction, or limitations to the body to slowing your inhaling and exhaling. When inhaling, your diaphragm movements inside a downward therapeutic massage communicate organs. The influx of breath movements back upward during your body starting your stomach, upper body, back and lung area. While exhaling, your diaphragm movements upwards massaging your center and the influx of breath movements downward shutting the lung area, chest, back again, and stomach. As people, organic breathing happens primarily though our nasal area. This help the moisturizing from the atmosphere, organic filtering and it can help make certain we don't launch carbon dioxide prematurely causing hyperventilation. Because of the tension we face inside our internal and external lives, many people do not inhale and exhale naturally and we've become upper upper body breathers. We have a tendency to inhale and exhale faster with typically 14-16 breaths each and every minute. Some people inhale and exhale too fast frequently find ourselves keeping our breathing in occasions of tension and dread. Having quick and shallow breaths decrease the level of skin tightening and in our bloodstream. This causes the arteries, like the cartoid artery likely to the mind to constrict and decrease the blood circulation during your body. When this takes place, no matter just how much air we may inhale and exhale into our lung area, our human brain and body will knowledge a lack of air. Having less sufficient air sets off the sympatetic anxious system that is the combat or air travel reflex which makes us anxious, stressed or irritable. Hence making us to believe clearly. Those who find themselves serious such as for example Qi Gong, Yoga exercises, or natural respiration individuals discover their breath prices in a relaxing rate around 3-4 breaths each and every minute. This has advantages to us in physical form, psychologically and spiritually. We have to inhale and exhale through our nasal area because the hairs that series our nostrils filter any particle of dirt and dirt that may be injurous to your lung area. If way too many contaminants build up over the membranes from the nasal area, we automatically top secret mucus to snare them or sneeze. There's another importance to inhale and exhale through our nasal area which is preserving the correct stability of air and skin tightening and in our bloodstream. When we inhale and exhale through our mouth area we usually breathe in and out surroundings quickly in huge volumes often resulting in some sort of hyperventilation. Some research workers believe that mouth area respiration and hyperventilation can lead to asthma, high blood circulation pressure, heart disease, as well as other medical complications. Learning to inhale and exhale more naturally could have a major impact on our health and wellness which include our metabolism, impact the quantity of workout we get, how exactly we experience ourselves, the meals we eat, quantity of energy we've, etc.
Alright, I'll today end up being discussing what all of the hype is approximately with Qi Gong! Very first thing, Qi Gong 's been around for many decades and it dates back from 2,500 years back to also 7,000 yrs . old. The reason why the estimation over the traditional advancement of Qi Gong is basically because it was passed on amongst monks and instructors in secrecy. For instance, Acupuncture was uncovered by American doctors within the 1970's though it has been employed for a large number of years. Qi means energy or the condition of energy within the individual. By exercising your Qi it comes with an influence on your own thoughts, eyesight, hearing, taste, feeling, smell, physical motion, and spirit since it enhances your understanding with your environment. You can find about 3000 forms of Qi Gong applied in China. Qi Gong could be grouped into 4 parts such as for example Scholar Qi Gong, Medical Qi Gong curing yourself among others, Spiritual Qi Gong and FIGHTING TECHINQUES Qi Gong. The main one I'll be talking about is going to be Medical Qi Gong for disease avoidance, strengthening our disease fighting capability, disease treatment, etc. We typically know about working out to promote a healthy body and preventing disease. That targets power and cardiovascular fitness which functions from the exterior inward. With Qi Gong it's the contrary and functions inside outwards. Our brain, body, and heart is connected enabling us to spotlight our focus, physical, and respiration to integrate all three. The Qi (energy), body position, and heart (deep breathing and visualization) increases health, ward off diseases, get rid of illnesses, improve mental understanding, keep us suit, and stability our brain, body, and heart. Regular practice of Qi Gong enables the Qi to stream smoothly during your body. The standard practice of Qi Gong increase the blood circulation. This leads to a competent delivery of air, nutrition of white bloodstream cells, and removal of metabolic waste materials. When there is a blockage (way to obtain Qi to some cell obstructed), the blood circulation in that region will change, and finally the cells as well as the organs linked may malfunction. Final result, illnesses or pain might occur for that each. Qi Gong happens to be used to boost the fitness of others with high blood circulation pressure, neurological issues, cancers, joint disease, migraine, etc.
Many studies have already been researched in Qi Gong as well as the U.S has recognized its advantage promoting Qi Gong practice . China as well as the U.S have hosted meetings jointly on Qi Gong analysis. Medical research provides proven given that the most effective healing is situated within our personal bodies. Remember, just a few moments daily of regular practice of Qi Gong is only going to help improve your wellbeing. It is very easy to accomplish and we ought to all be performing Qi Gong. I intend to help promote Qi Gong and pass on the nice energy to everyone. Think about Qi Gong as cleaning your tooth everyday. When you can clean your teeth a few times daily then there is absolutely no reason you can't perform the same with Qi Gong. On the side note, I am hoping everyone does clean their teeth at least one time a day!

CIVIL WAR HISTORY, SITES AND ATTRACTIONS IN KNOXVILLE
Knoxville was a city torn apart by the bitter divisions of the Civil War. While fighting raged between North and South, East Tennesseans were in a civil war amongst themselves. Recruiting rallies for both the Union and the Confederacy were held simultaneously on Gay Street, while the majority of East Tennessee was predominately in favor of remaining with the Union. Tennessee officially left the Union on June 8, 1861 due to the pro-secession sentiments of Middle and West Tennessee. As a result, the city is a treasure trove of battle sites, museums, historic homes, and so much more. Many of the sites below are within walking distance starting in Market Square, the heart of downtown. Or hop in your car for an enjoyable drive throughout the county to find all the places that cement Knoxville's place in this chapter of American history.
The Knoxville Campaign
The Knoxville campaign was a series of American Civil War battles and maneuvers in East Tennessee during the fall of 1863 designed to secure control of the city of Knoxville and with it the railroad that linked the Confederacy east and west, and position the First Corps under Longstreet for return to the Army of Northern Virginia. Union Army forces under Maj. Gen. Ambrose Burnside occupied Knoxville, and Confederate States Army forces under Lt. Gen. James Longstreet were detached from Gen. Braxton Bragg's Army of Tennessee at Chattanooga to prevent Burnside's reinforcement of the besieged Federal forces there. Ultimately, Longstreet's own siege of Knoxville ended when Union Maj. Gen. William Tecumseh Sherman led elements of the Army of the Tennessee and other troops to Burnside's relief after Union troops had broken the Confederate siege of Chattanooga. Although Longstreet was one of Gen. Robert E. Lee's best corps commanders in the East in the Army of Northern Virginia, he was unsuccessful in his attempt to penetrate the Knoxville defenses and take the city.
The pro-Union counties of eastern Tennessee had offered little resistance to the occupation of Knoxville by forces under Maj. Gen. Ambrose E. Burnside in 1863. As a Confederate army besieged Union forces at Chattanooga, Tennessee later that year, a force under the command of Lt. Gen. James Longstreet was sent to Knoxville to prevent Burnside's Army of the Ohio from moving in support of Chattanooga. To capture Knoxville, Longstreet decided that Fort Sanders, located northwest of the city, was the only vulnerable place where his men could penetrate Burnside's fortifications. On November 17, 1863, Confederate General James Longstreet places the city of Knoxville, Tennessee, under siege with 17,000 troops from Chattanooga. On November 27, Captain Orlando Poe, chief engineer to Burnside, ordered the construction of Fort Higley, Fort Dickerson, and Fort Stanley. (Today, Fort Dickerson and Fort Higley are public parks in South Knoxville that are open to the public.) The Battle of Fort Sanders begins on November 29, and Longstreet's Confederate troops faced heavy losses. Union troops were dispatched from Chattanooga and forced Longstreet's retreat, ultimately to Virginia. The Confederate defeat at Knoxville, plus the loss of Chattanooga four days earlier, put most of eastern Tennessee in Union control for the rest of the war.
Civil War exhibits can be seen at the East Tennessee History Center and the McClung Museum of History & Culture in addition to several sites across the city below.

This may not always be the case but it seems you need certain type of music to make it on the radio, unless you paying. But then again that certain type of music is being paid for to get airplay anyway. I've had similar instances like this happen to me, its quite pathetic.


Re: It fits on a key chain.
I rarely design and build something that does not have redundancy or dual use. Engineering and trouble shooting my bizarre concepts is the best part. That way I keep learning.
realityguy, you have given me more ideas. That is called enabling and only contributes to the disorder.
A nail knot tool for tying up steelhead and salmon flyfishing leaders and tying on flies with gloves on.
For checking the contents of what your mini-trout had for breakfast before you caught it..for "matching the hatch".
Pulling fishhooks out of fish mouths(disgorger).
For holding that one last desperate dry emergency match while you're sweating bullets(Please light!..Please Light!.. )..
For quick-deflation of a Sevylor canoe when you're too lazy to wait or in a hurry for the air to come out on its own..
Cuz, you crack me up!
Hey..what can I say..It's raining cats and dogs here and I'm BORED..
You now have kept me busy well into 2011. The rapid canoe deflation wand is an excellent idea, I shall start with that one.
Rain? Slightly north of Seattle surely you're kidding! That is why I have my metal and wood shop. Doesn't matter what the weather is I am creating and making messes.
..I am creating and making messes.
Believe me if I could get into my garage and shop..I'd be there also. Why do you think I'm selling bicycles!My herd has out grown my barn at about 15..I'm slimmin' that back down to 9-10..
I do need to get out there and at least clean off the 18" depth on my work table..mostly stove crap.

The idea of a striker still makes the most sense. The rod portion shows a lot of wear, almost polished. A small sharpening steel maybe? You might also use the other end to drill a hole in something....but why????
The tube would work for a couple of different knots.

New book slams 'toxic geek masculinity' in Big Bang Theory
Toni Airaksinen | Former Education News Contributor, PJ Media
Friday, March 30, 2018 12:34 PM
Two professors are warning in a new book that TV shows like The Big Bang Theory are emblematic of a worrying trend they call "toxic geek masculinity."
The new book Toxic Geek Masculinity in Media: Sexism, Trolling, and Identity Politics was written by Bridget Blodgett, a professor at the University of Maryland, and Anastasia Salter, who teaches classes on digital culture at the University of Central Florida.
Though computer geeks are often depicted as marginalized due to their social exclusion, Blodgett and Salter argue that the opposite is actually true, asserting that geeks are aligned "with a type of toxic straight white masculinity that is rooted deeply in current cultural struggles."
[RELATED: Profs blame mass shootings on 'hegemonic masculinity']
"Geek masculinity, with its absence of hypermasculine qualities and apparent association with 'un-masculine' traits, is often cast in popular culture as a marginalized masculinity," the professors note, but they make clear that they do not buy this interpretation.
"The dichotomy is false: geek masculinity is not marginalized," they contend. "It is instead an inevitable evolution of hegemonic masculinity in a culture where dominance and technical mastery are increasingly interwoven."
Their book traces a number of TV shows and cultural struggles—including #Gamergate—to illustrate just how this toxic geek masculinity operates, citing The Big Bang Theory as but one example.
Referencing an episode called "The Contractual Obligation Implementation," in which three geeky male scientists visit a local high school to tout STEM careers to teens, the professors claim that the storyline is actually an example of "empty feminism" because the plot does not address gender disparities in STEM fields.
[RELATED: Profs blame 'masculine ideals' for lack of women in STEM]
"The characters are deeply lacking in self-awareness regarding their roles in a sexist workplace, and this same lack of understanding is constantly played for humor," Blodgett and Salter write.
Later in the episode, the male scientists bring two female scientists with them to chat with the high-schoolers, but the professors insist that the feminist ethos of these female scientists is actually "undermined" because they wear makeup and dress "ultra-feminine."
Ultimately, Blodgett and Salter worry that the "the episode's message about women geeks ends with their reduction to objects for the masculine gaze."
[RELATED: Prof calls 'digital manspreading' an act of 'toxic masculinity']
The book concludes by arguing that toxic geek masculinity is just an inevitable evolution of hegemonic masculinity more generally.
"Much like the break within the Democratic Party along racial lines in the 1948 election, more traditionally presenting geeks, white, middle-class, educated men are being pulled towards supporting the traditional power structure," the professors write, asserting that this ultimately reflects an ongoing "cultural shift" whereby "geek masculinity has become part of hegemonic, white, male masculinity."
Campus Reform reached out to Salter and Blodgett for comment for their new book, but neither responded in time for publication.

Are violent video games the same as fairy tales?
Bob Collins June 27, 2011, 11:39 AM Jun 27, 2011
Today's Supreme Court decision throwing out California's ban on selling "violent" video games to people under 18 contains an unintended invitation to News Cut readers. What children's book contains violence akin to the video games in question?
Justice Antonin Scalia, writing the opinion delivered today, said video games are no different from books, plays, and movies and, thus, are deserving of First Amendment protection. "Our cases have been clear that the obscenity exception to the FirstAmendment does not cover whatever a legislature finds shocking, but only depictions of 'sexual conduct.'" Scalia wrote in explaining why laws against obscenity cannot be used in this case.
Besides, Scalia argue, kids' books are violent, too, and we're not banning them…
Certainly the books we give children to read–orread to them when they are younger–contain no shortage of gore. Grimm's Fairy Tales, for example, are grim indeed. As her just deserts for trying to poison Snow White, the wicked queen is made to dance in red hot slippers "till she fell dead on the floor, a sad example of envy and jealousy." The Complete Brothers Grimm Fairy Tales 198 (2006 ed.). Cinderella's evil stepsisters have their eyes pecked out by doves. Id., at 95. And Hansel and Gretel (children!) kill their captor by baking her in an oven. Id., at 54.
High-school reading lists are full of similar fare. Homer's Odysseus blinds Polyphemus the Cyclops bygrinding out his eye with a heated stake. The Odyssey ofHomer, Book IX, p. 125 (S. Butcher & A. Lang transls.1909) ("Even so did we seize the fiery-pointed brand and whirled it round in his eye, and the blood flowed about the heated bar. And the breath of the flame singed his eyelids and brows all about, as the ball of the eye burnt away, and the roots thereof crackled in the flame"). In the Inferno, Dante and Virgil watch corrupt politicians struggle to stay submerged beneath a lake of boiling pitch, lest they beskewered by devils above the surface. Canto XXI, pp.187-189 (A. Mandelbaum transl. Bantam Classic ed.1982). And Golding's Lord of the Flies recounts how a schoolboy called Piggy is savagely murdered by other children while marooned on an island. W. Golding, Lord of the Flies 208-209 (1997 ed.).
Scalia's interpretation of the application of the First Amendment led to an unusual dissent from Justice Clarence Thomas, who is usually on the same side Scalia's on.
Thomas said the freedom of speech does not include the freedom to speak to children without their parents' permission…
Adults carefully controlled what they published forchildren. Stories written for children were dedicated to moral instruction and were relatively austere, lackingdetails that might titillate children's minds.
. John Newbery, the publisher often credited with creating the genre of children's literature,removed traditional folk characters, like Tom Thumb, from their original stories and placed them in new morality tales in which good children were rewarded and disobedient children punished.
Thomas noted the doomed California law did not prevent a child from getting violent video games with the assistance of his/her parents.
Here's the entire opinion from the Supreme Court.
Update 3:51 p.m. – Here's a really great review of the decision from the always-informative ScotusBlog.

Balloting a Candidate 4/18/2019
Section 315.5 of the Rules and Regulations of DeMolay International contains the rules and procedures for electing new and affiliate members for Chapters.
Section 315.5 Election for Membership. Election for membership or for affiliation must be only at a meeting of the Chapter and unless otherwise directed by the Executive Officer, after a visitation committee has reported. A secret ballot shall be conducted in the following manner:
(a)The Master Councilor reads the name of the applicant and the facts set out in his application. If applicable, he states whether the report of the committee is favorable or unfavorable and may give any information reported by the committee. If applicable, an unfavorable report by a committee of visitation or any members thereof, or an objection to an application by any member of the Chapter before balloting on the application, shall be referred to the Chapter Advisor, or in his absence to a member of the Advisory Council. The Advisory Council shall decide if the unfavorable report or objection itself constitutes a rejection.
(b) A collective ballot may be taken if there is more than one applicant to be balloted on. If no more than one black cube appears, the applicants are elected. If two or more black cubes appear, there must be an individual ballot on each application.
(c) When there is an individual ballot, if no more than one black cube appears, the applicant is elected. If two black cubes appear, the ballot shall not be declared, but shall lie over until the next meeting when another ballot shall be taken. If three or more black cubes appear, the applicant is rejected.
(d) When a ballot lies over, an applicant is rejected if three or more black cubes appear on this second ballot, otherwise the applicant is elected.
During the meeting, there is a procedure for taking the ballot, which begins when the petition and investigation forms are read. The Master Councilor then calls for the vote to be taken.
1.) The Senior Deacon takes the ballot box to the Master Councilor's station. The Master Councilor makes sure there are enough white balls and black cubes for each member to vote however they would like.
2.) After making sure that there are no balls or cubes in the box (having a clear ballot), the Master Councilor declares the ballot open and casts his own vote.
3.) The Senior Deacon then takes the ballot box to the Senior and Junior Councilors at their stations for their votes.
4.) The Senior Deacon takes the ballot box to the altar and then steps away from the altar toward the Senior Councilor's station far enough to ensure privacy of each member voting. He turns toward the South and becomes the point where the Brethren wait in line to vote.
5.) The Master Councilor directs the members of the Chapter who have passed their proficiency examination to vote, usually starting with those on his right. The Brethren line up at the point where the Senior Deacon is standing and wait to go to the ballot box one at a time.
6.) After all others have voted, the Senior Deacon casts his vote.
7.) The Master Councilor directs the Senior Deacon to display the ballot.
8.) The Senior Deacon takes the ballot box to the Junior Councilor, who reviews the votes cast without allowing anyone else to see them. The Senior Deacon takes the ballot box to the Senior Councilor and Master Councilor and the same process is repeated.
9.) The Master Councilor asks the Junior Councilor how he found the ballot in the South.
(a) If all white balls or 1 black cube, it is "favorable"
(b) If 2 or more black cubes, it is "unfavorable"
10.) This process is repeated with the Senior Councilor and Master Councilor.
11.) Depending on the result of the ballot, the Master Councilor declares the result according to the requirements of the statute.
12.) The Master Councilor "destroys" the ballot by pouring all votes cast back into the ballot box without allowing anyone else to see them.

Thompson Abortion Lobbying Story Has Holes
James Joyner · Monday, July 9, 2007 · No comments
Jim Geraghty has done some digging into the Fred Thompson lobbied for an abortion group story. Suddenly, it's more plausible that the accusers are indeed "making it up out of whole cloth."
The LAT's quiet rewrite of the story, changing details that would bring his accusers' story into question, should set off alarms. Unfortunately, newspaper Web sites do that on a routine basis for less-than-sinister reasons, so it doesn't prove anything.
I would note, however, that, at the time of the incident in question, Thompson had appeared in a minor role in a movie called "White Sands." While not technically a Western, it's certainly reasonable for it to have been construed as such from casual conversation. I haven't seen it, so I have no clue whether Thompson's character was shot in it.

HOW SATURN'S GOLDEN-AGE CELEBRATION BECAME CHRISTMAS
Tis the season — of Saturn!
Over the coming weeks, you might hear astrologers talking about the astrological news of the week — the planet Saturn sliding into the tropical Zodiac sign Capricorn, where he'll be hanging out for the next three years.
Two thousand years ago, the Romans celebrated Saturn in style — with feasting, songs, humor and gift-giving. In fact, Saturnalia was the direct forerunner of the holiday we now call Christmas.
Though this seems a far cry from modern astrology's gloomy and dire warnings about a visit by "Saturn the Taskmaster," in the context of Saturn's "origin story" it makes perfect sense.
Read on, and remember when Saturn was welcomed with cheers: Io, Saturnalia!
Saturn Days
Commemorating the anniversary of the Temple of Saturn's dedication, Saturnalia began Dec. 17. At different times in history, the Roman state declared a three-day, five-day, or seven-day holiday from all work, school and government functions. But, regardless of the official decree, people often celebrated the full seven days, revelry finally winding down on Dec. 23.
Each year, Saturnalia festivities began with a grand public ritual at the Temple of Saturn, nestled in the Forum at the foot of Capitoline Hill.
Priests officiated in the Greek style, heads uncovered. Customarily, the feet of the temple's statue of Saturn were bound in woolen wrappings. During Saturnalia, it was freed from its fetters, as a sign of liberation.
For the large public banquet following the ritual sacrifice, Saturn's statue was brought down and laid on a dining couch, to preside over the feasting in style. Domestic rituals continued over the coming days, typically roasting a suckling pig, a traditional offering for an Earth god.
Much like today's Mardi Gras, the all-day/all-night party was marked with rampant overeating and drunkenness. Bands of naked carolers roamed the streets, serenading other revelers with their bawdy songs. Gambling for nuts and coins was also permitted, the one time of the year such activities were allowed, even encouraged.
Many celebrated with gift-giving, bestowing small tokens of affection, even gag gifts, sometimes accompanied by little poems much like today's greeting cards. The poet Martial lists typical Saturnalia gifts: dice, knuckle bones, balls, a pig, a parrot, pets, foodstuffs, combs, toothpicks, perfumes, pipes, items of clothing, a hat, tables, various lamps, moneyboxes, a hunting knife, an axe, cups, spoons, writing tablets, books and masks.
Toward the end of the festival days, gifts of small statues, called Sigillaria, and candles flourished, as the eve of the Winter solstice – the darkest night of the year – approached.
Who was Saturn?
The origin stories of gods often predate our archeological record. We know Saturn began his days as an agricultural god of seed and sowing on the Italian peninsula. In fact, one of the earliest names for Rome's Capitoline Hill was Mons Saturnius, even before Saturn's temple was built there in 497 BCE.
Some of Saturn's myths also describe him as a god in exile, one who arrived from a far-away land to join forces with the two-faced Janus, another local god of the Italian peninsula.
As the early Romans admired the more cosmopolitan Greeks, Saturn naturally became associated with the Greek agricultural deity Cronus. Cronus was also the Greek name of the solar system's sixth planet; hence Saturn became its Latin name.
A legend goes, Cronus ruled over a golden age. Before his guidance, people lacked culture, they "wandered like beasts." He brought the knowledge of agriculture and the turning of the seasons. All were equal – there was no private property, and no slavery. Everyone had such perfect self-discipline, no laws or punishment were needed.
Sadly, Cronus' fear got the better of him. A prophecy suggested he would be destroyed by one of his children. Out of self-preservation, he began to eat them as they were born. Of course, this set the stage for the prophecy to fulfill itself; his youngest son Zeus did overthrow him, forcing Cronus to disgorge his siblings.
And here the Romans picked up the tale. Since Cronus was exiled from Greece, he was a natural fit to take up the mantle of Saturn, the exiled agricultural deity.
Io, Saturnalia
Many of the rituals of the Saturnalia are adopted from the Greeks' festival of Cronus, the Kronia.
As a reminder of Saturn's golden age, celebrants turned social norms on their heads.
At meals, masters served the slaves; masters and servants ate together, or sometimes the servants ate first. Slaves could also make fun of masters without reprisal or punishment, an early celebration of free speech. Citizens wore the caps of freed slaves; slaves wore the caps too, marking everyone as equal.
All throughout the festival rang the cry "Io, Saturnalia." Io (Ee-O), a Greek exclamation of acclaim and attention, in Latin became "Jo" – the forerunner of today's "Yo!"
In later years, after the end of the republic and the rise of imperial Rome, it became tradition to select a King of Saturnalia, a lord of misrule over the festivities. Everyone in the household had to obey his commands, no matter how absurd, or face ridicule.
Begin, End and Begin Again
Above all, the Saturnalia reflects the contradictions of Saturn: the utopia, the fear and the liberation.
Saturn's later consort Ops was an Earth goddess of wealth, abundance and prosperity, much like Cronus' wife Rhea. Romans celebrated the Opalia on Dec. 19, heralding the storage of grains. As an Earth deity, worshippers saluted her while seated, hands placed on the ground. (If Ops name sound familiar, it's also where we get the word opulence.)
With echoes of the Greek Pluton, a god of the hidden wealth found underground, Saturn's temple also served as the headquarters of the Roman mint, where coins were struck and stored.
In earlier mythology, Saturn was also linked to the Italian goddess Lua.
Lua received the weapons of enemies killed in war, which were burned as an offering to her. In exchange, she turned away their evil and rendered them impotent.
Little else is known of Lua. However, her name evokes the Latin verb "luo," which means to atone, to make amends, to redeem or to liberate.
Saturn, as an agriculture god, was a master at creating life from death. He knew how to plant and sow, but also to harvest, and to return the dead plants back to the soil to render it fertile again.
And, in this sense, death is the ultimate liberation; death freed souls for immortality.
Dies Natalis Solis Invicti
The Sun, lord of midsummer's light and heat, and Saturn, lord of winter's cold and darkness, have a deep history intertwined in the eternal seasonal dance.
The Greek's celebrated the Kronia (aka Saturnalia) between the end of July and beginning of August, as the Sun moved into its home Zodiac sign Leo. The golden Sun, long a symbol of kingship and divinity, infused Saturn in his sunny "golden age."
In contrast, the Romans dedicated their temple to Saturn as the Sun moved into Saturn's home Zodiac sign Capricorn.
Today we mark this day as the Winter Solstice, Dec. 21 on our modern calendar. Around the Winter Solstice, the northern hemisphere experiences the longest nights of the year; it takes approximately three days to observe the Sun moving northward along the horizon again, and witness the days begin to lengthen.
In other words, in this time of darkness, we also await the rebirth of the light. The final days of Saturnalia became a festival of light, abundant candles symbolizing the quest for trust and knowledge. By the second century, the festival of the Sun at the end of Saturnalia took on its own name: the "Birthday of the Unconquered Sun" (Dies Natalis Solis Invicti).
And so, the most-beloved holiday of the Roman year, Saturnalia revelries endured nearly 1000 years until the 4th century CE, when the Roman Empire fell under Christian rule.
Many of Saturnalia's traditions were preserved in the new Christ-mass, the feast day celebrating the birth of Jesus, which the Church aligned with the "Sun's birthday" on Dec. 25.

I loved your article of the history, myths and legends behind Saturn, the planet of Karma. Saturn is the taskmaster of the zodiac, associated with hard work, discipline and responsibility. Known as the; "guardian of the threshold", it was considered a gatekeeper to what lay beyond. This is emphasised by the rings that represent a barrier to passing by.
Its amazing how man kinds knowledge of Saturn has now progressed via the Voyager spacecraft flyby Saturn missions to explore Saturn's rings, and the larger moons of the two planets.

Lady London Releases 'Lady Like: The Boss Tape'
Lady London, the Aristotle of Bravado, has released Lady Life: The Boss Tape.
The Boss Tape serves as both an official introduction and an elegant finale to the New Jersey/New York artist's well-received era. Fans and followers' desires are granted with the gift from Hip Hop's most up now artist for 2022, which includes thirteen of her most acclaimed, heavy-hitting freestyles since her emergence.
The Boss Tape is a compilation of Lady London's "Lady Londays" Freestyles, which saw the rising star take over some of the biggest hits in Hip-Hop history. The work Lady London delivered over singles like Foxy Brown's "Get Me Home" and Busta Rhymes' "Put Your Hands Where My Eyes Could See" caught the eyes of Nas, Timbaland and Diddy, while also growing her social media following.
"When you listen to me, I want you to feel comfortable in yourself and empowered more than anything," Lady London says of her talent. "We're all the same. We all have things we battle, daily, but everyone excels at something. Therefore, every person is a boss in his or her own way. And you control the narrative around your own life. I want to be proof of that. Music is the closest thing to religion without the systemic element. It's a spiritual encounter. It shifts our movements; it governs our temperament. And, if nothing more, I hope to transcend a generation with what I create and leave a legacy behind."
