Need help deciding how many to purchase
I have a different use in mind for these steps. My 86 years young mother cannot bend one knee so needs small incremental steps to get into my Dodge Durango. The 2" increments would be perfect but would need the first step 2" off the ground and the second step 2" higher than the first and the same with the thrid and fourth steps. With that last step 8" off the ground and by hanging onto the seat and "helping handle" of my SUV she should have a much easier time getting settled in. Can we get these steps to set up this way? How many would we need? What would the cost be? They look light weight and I think I could easily handle them.

Answer:Thank you for your question. The first bathstep is 4" high, and this is not adjustable. When placing one on top of another, there are holes that the feet fit into (for stability) to make the 2" increments. For your scenario, you will need 6 steps: 1st step = 4"; 2nd step (need 2) = 6"; 3rd step (need 3) = 8". At $20 each (the cost of 3 steps), the cost would be $120 plus shipping.

Answer:At the time that I bought the steps, they only came in white with the royal blue top optional. I haven't added the tops yet. I bought three steps and find them useful for a multitude of things. Not only are they good in the bathroom, but my arms are about 6" too short to wash windows in my townhouse. I was so glad to have the steps and not have to go up and down a ladder! The same thought when I put up my holiday lights. The steps also help my dog get on the bed now that he is aging. I am so glad I bought the steps!

Answer:Thank you for your question. Each Bath Step is 4" high. When stacking, there are holes that the feet of the top step fit into for stability (which is 2" of the Bath Step height), leaving 2" for incremental height (6" total height for 2 stacked Bath Steps)..

Fabulous Dress! I have 3 JR Bridesmaids in my wedding and all 3 dresses came in within 2 weeks of ordering them! I was very surprised! The girls look fabulous in the dresses! They are almost identical to the Bridesmaids dresses, just with added straps! Can't wait to see them all dressed for the wedding! January 22, 2014
Looks Great We got this dress for my JB's. It matched my BM's dresses which was style # F44079. One of my JB's wore this dress in the Clover Green Color and my other JB wore it in the Malibu Blue Color and they looked absolutely amazing with the rest of the wedding party. I picked this dress because it had the same design as the BM's dresses that I picked except this dress has the straps for the younger girls. Everyone loved the dresses and one of my JB's loves her dress so much she told her mother and I that she is going to wear it for her homecoming this year. Wonderful dress and looked great on both my girls. August 27, 2013
Looks Great on my girls We got this dress for 2 of my Jr. Bridesmaids. The dress looks great on them. They do have a pin that matches my bridesmaid dress that is similar so they look really wonderful together. November 28, 2012
So pretty! We got this dress for my sister she 11 it was perfect for her age , the fit was great very true to size and length was perfect . It went very well with the bridesmaids dresses to. October 8, 2012

Julian Barbour on does time exist

Time is not a result of Thought, if I don't want time that wont make it go away and thats what you are really asking is time a result of thought. No, thought is a result of time and thought patterns are undistinguishable to the thinker even if the timeline is different only the total amount of time differs by comparison. Thus proving time and thought are a constant.

We've come quite a ways. I want to recap some of what was said on page 1 of this thread. Starting with Julian's post #1.
The gas in a box can be in equilibrium even though individual molecules are colliding and bouncing around. It depends on perspective. Micro-beings riding on the molecules can have a local idea of time based on motion of surrounding molecules. Their world doesn't look like it's in equilibrium to them, though it does to us. And also any thermal equilibrium state breaks Lorentz invariance and gives us an intrinsic macro idea of time This was what Rovelli was discussing as Julian pointed to in post #1. Here is the OP:
OK so time is emergent and scale dependent, now I want to add a footnote to that: The *expansion* of distances in the universe makes scale dependence very interesting. Geometry is dynamic you can have things staying in the same place but everything getting farther apart without any relative change in position.
Assuming the (LQC model) cosmological bounce---at the maximum energy density start of expansion, the universe was in thermal equilibrium. It was like the distribution of gas in a box, all flattened out under the regime of repellent gravitation (which is what causes bounce at extreme energy density in LQC model). So because GR is timeless (as therefore QGR must be also) the U is forever in equilibrium state.
So it has a thermal time, as Connes and Rovelli showed, which derives from any equilibrium state, its own global time. This is essentially the same as Friedmann universe time used by cosmologists, they get it by fitting data to model and calculating age of U, or they get it from CMB temperature. Same thing.
*But also expansion is like a zoom microscope* So compared with things at the start of expansion we are like the very small beings riding on the molecules in the box. So we see things around us that don't look like equilibrium. Stuff is happening. If you ran the whole show back to the start of expansion, it would look smooth and even, and it STILL IS in a sense if you adopt a cosmological perspective. But locally the individual molecules we are riding on are bucking and whirling splitting and merging.
Connes and Rovelli introduce the idea of a geometric temperature to coordinate these ideas of local and global time. It doesn't seem like a bad idea. Somebody named Tolman (at Oxford I think) had already discussed geometric temperature in the 1930s and C&R's idea turned out to recover Tolman's in the relevant case. So there is all this interesting stuff.

I guess two obvious things everybody realizes but could be mentioned:
Obviously the free energy in a situation depends on the scale you're able to manipulate. If you are molecule-size and live in a box of gas, then you can lasso molecules and can harness them (or play the Maxwell demon with them), and get energy. But whatever you do with the energy makes no difference to a large outsider. He looks in and sees no free energy---because he can't see or manipulate or benefit at your scale. He sees a uniform "temperature" throughout, which you do not. Whatever you accomplish with the free energy you see doesn't make a damn bit of difference to him---it still looks like gas in a box. So free energy depends on the scale at which the observer is interacting with it, and likewise the Boltzmann distribution, depending as it does on the free energy. So the idea of EQUILIBRIUM depends on scale.
The second obvious thing to mention, since we are concerned with cosmology, is that cosmologists have coordinates called COMOVING coordinates where the separation between things does not change. Aside from little random individual jiggles, as thing's comoving coordinates do not change. Not substantially compared with the expansion process itself. So two hydrogen atoms are about as far apart now, in comov. dist., as they were when the universe was only a few years old. things do fall together and interact and recombine and split apart etc but that is a small percentage of their comoving distance from each other, which stays approximately constant.
So I suppose some of the analysis of the sort of things we were talking about could be done using comoving coordinates.
Interestingly, it seem if we imagine doing relativistic thermodynamics in a quantum cosmology context it might happen that the U is, and always has been, in a PURE STATE and that it also (at a certain scale) is in a state of THERMAL EQUILIBRIUM.
The reason it's relevant is that several of us in the thread seem to agree on looking at time as real but *emergent* either from local motions or thermodynamics. In particular e.g. Julian Barbour in his prize-winning FQXi essay showed clearly how time is emergent from local motions, at a certain level. One does not have to treat it as a quasi-spatial "extra" dimension. One wants to be able to generalize on both Barbour's time and thermodynamic or "thermal" time (which may, at root, be the same thing as Barbour's) to understand the emergence of time in a variety of contexts and at various scales.

Marcus: Your recent post #57 said things that really needed saying. I liked it a lot. Here are a few comments.
As Niels Bohr pointed out, Physics is a matter of what we say about stuff, not what stuff "is". This justifies the use of inverted commas (here) and prolifically in your post, together with stars and upper case to distinguish words ( e.g.: is, emergent, temperature, equilibrium) that have context-sensitive meanings. To be trite; '"Obviously" physics just describes what we call reality. This description is perforce made in the context of common human experience, say of hot and cold, or the maintenance of a status quo. When we try to extend such descriptions beyond scales familiar to us, a qualification as "emergent" can be useful for broadening context. So is the quantitative and logical extension provided to ordinary language by mathematics.
But let's not kid ourselves that the words and mathematical descriptions we use have absolute eternal meanings; they just conveniently communicate concepts between us. Like the mysterious word "time" that everybody knows. Although we cannot yet claim to accurately understand and describe time, one thing does stand out: using time as a parameter to characterise change works wherever physics rules. This, it seems, is all over the Universe. Therefore: time can't just be some local quirky emergent thing; it must be related to something universal, like the observed red-shift and its cause, namely "expansion". Or is this also just an "emergent" aspect of the "reality" that we try to describe?

Theoretical physics I relize is very advanced even among the real physicists but let me check if I somewhat understand this.
I'm understanding it as the current laws for time are universal in this model the box is our 'universe' the gas filling the box is 'time' and any events it real time are represented as a temperature change so the model has a way of catagorizing integral parts of time us being assumedly on the hotter end of the scale. Is this right that I'm sub catagorizing us given any present moment in our timelines is not assumed but analitical. In my mind this gives us a convective effect on the gas.
I hope I'm getting it because if not its a real blow to my ego well, either way it kinda is cause I never would have bien able to come up with that myself :( and, I've just wasted everyones time! but hey, wait a minute, don't be such a hothead! lol!

Hi Exper., Looser, Paulibus, thanks for your comments! This is a really important point. The idea of what is fundamental is comparative and provisional---depending on context some stuff is MORE fundamental than other stuff but we can't expect that anything is ABSOLUTELY fundamental.
Emergent simply refers to something that is real and physical (maybe indispensable, necessary for our understanding) but NOT FUNDAMENTAL. Like temperature, or like the water level in a lake. If you zoom in too closely you won't see it. But it's real.
I guess you could say that all physical descriptors and features are elements of a mathematical language that we are trying to apply to nature. Some of those descriptors (the traditional name is "degrees of freedom") are more basic than others. We call them fundamental. And others are more COMPOSITE or DERIVED or only definable when we have a large unspecified number of basic objects, and we call them non-fundamental, or less fundamental, or emergent. Like the water level or the temperature.
All these things are elements of a (mathematical) language which is evolving to better fit nature.
And I have to admit the fit is astoundingly good in so many areas. But still, as Paulibus suggested, let's not confuse our descriptive/predictive language model with nature/reality itself.
I think for the purposes of this thread, if someone wants to join the discussion, they should have looked at both the first--prize essays on this winners list:
In 2007-2008 FQXi (foundational questions institute) had an essay contest on The Nature of Time and they gave out two first prizes.
These essays are wide-audience, so some of the language in each essay is for non-specialists. And some is difficult mathematics.
The theme (what is time?) is not introductory physics. So if anyone is trying to teach themselves basic college physics this is definitely NOT a good place to start! The nature of time is one of the frontiers of physics where there is naturally the greatest confusion, disagreement, lack of clarity.
Both of the first prize essays took the position that time is NOT FUNDAMENTAL but is something you can derive from studying motion and change at a more basic level.
The two essays I'm suggesting people look at are Barbour's and Rovelli's (as a minimum, several other people in this thread have mentioned some other really good ones.)

You can get an idea of Barbour's essay by looking at the brief summary, the "abstract" at the beginning:
The Nature of Time
By Julian Barbour
Essay Abstract
A review of some basic facts of classical dynamics shows that time, or precisely duration, is redundant as a fundamental concept. Duration and the behaviour of clocks emerge from a timeless law that governs change.
In a nutshell, time is not needed as a fundamental concept. Time emerges. And he gives a careful concretely worked-out example of how time emerges from watching a specific system of bodies, like a solar system or a cluster of stars.
You can get an idea of Rovelli's essay from its abstract, or summary. Shown further down on the same list. It is also on the preprint archive: http://arxiv.org/abs/0903.3832
Forget Time*
By Carlo Rovelli
Essay Abstract
Following a line of research that I have developed for several years, I argue that the best strategy for understanding quantum gravity is to build a picture of the physical world where the notion of time plays no role at all. I summarize here this point of view, explaining why I think that in a fundamental description of nature we must "forget time", and how this can be done in the classical and in the quantum theory. The idea is to develop a formalism that treats dependent and independent variables on the same footing. In short, I propose to interpret mechanics as a theory of relations between variables, rather than the theory of the evolution of variables in time.
There are actually two Rovelli essays to look at. A good non-specialists introduction is "Unfinished Revolution"
( http://arxiv.org/abs/gr-qc/0604045 ) because in about 3 pages near the beginning it takes you through the HISTORY of the gradual weakening of the idea of Newtonian time by 1905 special through 1915 general relativity to today's quantum gravity research. It is good to get that perspective. Notice that in quantum mechanics a moving particle does not have a continuous TRAJECTORY. You can only *observe* where it passed thru at some discrete locations. You cannot say what it did in between. In the dynamically evolving geometry of quantum relativity, a continuous 4D spacetime is the analog of a continuous particle trajectory. For the same reason, one cannot say that it exists. One can only make a finite number of observations of geometric observables and study/predict the correlations.
In that sense a spacetime is not any more fundamental than a continuous particle trajectory. Both are derived constructs.

The essays of Barbour and Rovelli that you kindly highlighted, Marcus, illuminate nicely the dangers of assuming that familiar concepts (like time) are fundamental (although Rovelli contrarily notes that "...time is one of the fundamental notions in terms of which physics is built....").
But I sympathise with Imalooser's irritation with the somewhat shopsoiled label "emergent". It helps when an explanation is given of what the thing in question (here the time concept) emerges from, as in these essays. Barbour plumps for Newtonian mechanics, but I get confused about what "emerges" from which: time from physics or physics from usually being parameterised by time. Rovelli, on the other hand,
Interesting indeed, but for me less exciting than the famous emergence of Ursula Andress from the ocean in the first Bond movie!

...thinks that (some puzzling features of time) are not mechanical. Rather they emerge at the thermodynamical level..... (they are) features that emerge when we give an approximate statistical description of a system with a large number of degrees of freedom.....We represent our incomplete knowledge and assumptions in terms of a statistical state ....Time is .... the expression of our ignorance of the full microstate.
Hi Paulibus, thanks for your comment! You have what is presented as a quote from that essay but I didn't understand it and couldn't find it in the essay so I figured it might be your paraphrase plus bits from several different pages taken out of context. I therefore went looking for the context. I think this is the main context, which may help me better understand what you are saying. I've highlighted some things I may want to refer to later.
==quote page 8 of "Forget time"==
This observation leads us to the following hypothesis.
The thermal time hypothesis. In nature, there is no preferred physical time variable t. There are no equilibrium states ρ0 preferred a priori. Rather, all variables are equivalent; we can find the system in an arbitrary state ρ; if the system is in a state ρ, then a preferred variable is singled out by the state of the system. This variable is what we call time.
In other words, it is the statistical state that determines which variable is physical time, and not any a priori hypothetical flow that drives the system to a preferred statistical state. When we say that a certain variable is the time, we are not making a statement concerning the fundamental mechanical structure of reality. Rather, we are making a statement about the statistical distribution we use to describe the macroscopic properties of the system that we describe macroscopically. The thermal time hypothesis is the idea that what we call time is the thermal time of the statistical state in which the world happens to be, when described in terms of the macroscopic parameters we have chosen.
Time is, that is to say, the expression of our ignorance of the full microstate.
The thermal time hypothesis works surprisingly well in a number of cases. For example, if we start from radiation filled covariant cosmological model, with no preferred time variable and write a statistical state representing the cosmological background radiation, then the thermal time of this state turns out to be precisely the Friedmann time [21]. Furthermore, this hypothesis extends in a very natural way to the quantum context, and even more naturally to the quantum field theoretical context, where it leads also to a general abstract state-independent notion of time flow. In QM, the time flow is given by
At = αt(A) = eitH0 Ae−itH0 . (19)
A statistical state is described by a density matrix ρ. It determines the expectation values of any observable A via
ρ[A] = T r[Aρ]. (20)
This equation defines a positive functional ρ on the observables algebra. The relation between a quantum Gibbs state
ρ0 and H0 is the same as in equation (14). That is ρ0 =Ne−βH0. (21)
Correlation probabilities can be written as WAB(t) = ρ[αt(A)B] = Tr[eitH0 Ae−itH0Be−βH0], (22)
Notice that it follows immediately from the definition that
ρ0[αt(A)B] = ρ0[α(−t−iβ)(B)A], (23)
WAB(t) = WBA(−t − iβ) (24)
A state ρ0 over an algebra, satisfying the relation (23) is said to be KMS with respect to the flow αt.
It may take me a little while before I can respond to your post, Paulibus. I can see you are making an effort to understand the thermal time idea and give a fair summary of it (as I am trying to do or would like to do myself!)

You see Barbour and Rovelli's pictures as contrasting but I see an underlying similarity, both dispense with time (as a basic given) and derive it from what is the case, from the timeless reality of all our interrelated observations, perhaps one could say.
The word "state" has the unfortunate mental associations that come from having heard countless times the phase "state at a given time". what one really needs is a word for the timeless state of the world. Something like what one gets from the first chapter ("Proposition 1") of Wittgenstein's Tractatus:
Proposition 1
1 The world is all that is the case.
1.1 The world is the totality of facts, not of things.
1.11 The world is determined by the facts, and by their being all the facts.
1.12 For the totality of facts determines what is the case, and also whatever is not the case.
1.13 The facts in logical space are the world.
1.2 The world divides into facts.
1.21 Each item can be the case or not the case while everything else remains the same.
I don't see Barbour's vision as Newtonian because Newton's vision had an absolute time. He was closer to a 4D block spacetime in which the time coordinate had real physical meaning, was observable.
In GR the "time" coordinate is not observable and has no physical meaning, it is merely conventional. Barbour's observer derives time from watching motions. As he suggests, the idea of time as fundamental is unnecessary---I think one word for that would be "epiphenomenon".
Both Barbour and Rovelli seem in step with GR, perhaps a little out in front.
When you pass to a quantum version of GR the "state" (or "world") can no longer be a 4D continuum, for essentially the same reason that a particle cannot have a continuous trajectory. We only make a finite number of observations. We can have no mathematical representation of what is "in between" those observations. We simply have those observations and the correlations among them. The compact way to say that is with a C* algebra plus a positive (traceclass) operator ρ which represents what we think we know about it. Our knowledge and non-knowledge expressed probabilistically---as Rovelli says, "our ignorance".
Interesting stuff. Barbour's picture would ALSO need to be probabilistic since he doesn't know whether or not a neutron star is going to hurtle thru the solar system he is watching and disrupt his concept of time. He rightfully assumes it very unlikely but he talks as if it is completely ruled out. He sees and accounts for every body in the system, which in truth one cannot do with perfect certainty. So Barbour's picture also represents our knowledge/ignorance, just doesn't make that mathematically explicit.
I see their two visions of epiphenomenal time as somewhat akin to each other.
Nov22-12, 07:50 PM
In Barbour's book The End of Time, he talks about the probabilities associated with QM being represented as densities of a "fog" in Platonia (the configuration space).
Nov23-12, 03:30 AM
Thanks for responding so fully to my sketchy post, Marcus. I agree that Barbour and Rovelli come to similar conclusions. I was thinking of Barbour's emphasis on ephemeris time (a Newtonian concept used by astronomers), not of Newton's absolute time. I also
confess I find both essays quite hard to understand, and in linking bits (as you correctly suspected) from Rovelli's essay into a single quote I was trying to pick out the gist of his radical proposal.
Their tampering with our innate take on time won't be easily accepted; it's a central feature of our finite lives, and I guess our faith in its practical utility as a measure of life passing will be hard to shake. I wish Barbour and Rovelli success and look forward to the "time" when their ideas gain the gravitas conferred by testable predictions.
Maybe someone will build:

As for C&R they are quite explicit already on page 2 of their paper. One just googles "connes rovelli" and gets http://arxiv.org/abs/gr-qc/9406019
==page 2==
In a general covariant theory there is no preferred time flow, and the dynamics of the theory cannot be formulated in terms of an evolution in a single external time parameter. One can still recover weaker notions of physical time: in GR, for instance, on any given solution of the Einstein equations one can distinguish timelike from spacelike directions and define proper time along timelike world lines. This notion of time is weaker in the sense that the full dynamics of the theory cannot be formulated as evolution in such a time.1 In particular, notice that this notion of time is state dependent.
Furthermore, this weaker notion of time is lost as soon as one tries to include either thermodynamics or quantum mechanics into the physical picture, because, in the presence of thermal or quantum superpositions of geometries, the spacetime causal structure is lost. This embarrassing situation of not knowing what is time in the context of quantum gravity has generated the debated issue of time of quantum gravity. As emphasized in [4], the very same problem appears already at the level of the classical statistical mechanics of gravity, namely as soon as we take into account the thermal fluctuations of the gravitational field.2 Thus, a basic open problem is to understand how the physical time flow that characterizes the world in which we live may emerge from the fundamental timeless general covariant quantum field theory [9].
In this paper, we consider a radical solution to this problem. This is based on the idea that one can extend the notion of time flow to general covariant theories, but this flow depends on the thermal state of the system. More in detail, we will argue that the notion of time flow extends naturally to general covariant theories, provided that:
i. We interpret the time flow as a 1- parameter group of automorphisms of the observable algebra (generalised Heisenberg picture);
ii. We ascribe the temporal properties of the flow to thermodynamical causes, and therefore we tie the definition of time to thermodynamics;
iii. We take seriously the idea that in a general covariant context the notion of time is not state- independent, as in non-relativistic physics, but rather depends on the state in which the system is.
Note that this is presented as a hypothesis---it is proposed as one possible solution to be studied. They take the observable algebra. As given it is timeless. Any STATE is a positive functional on this algebra that gives expectations/correlations for all the observables. Then they offer a canonical way to derive a one-parameter group of automorphisms αt of the observable algebra.
This is the modular group that you derive using the given state. Remarkably, it turns out to reproduce Friedmann time in cosmology if you use the cosmic microwave background to define the state. I have not examined the proof of this. They offer several indications that this modular group αt corresponds to a satisfactory global idea of time. One can compare local observer-time to it and the comparison can have physical significance, which might be interesting. I have to go, back later. Thanks for the question!
Nov23-12, 01:28 PM
My question was trying to clarify what is the proposed practical implementation of considering the time coordinate "unnecessary". I guess they are not just suggesting to eliminate the time coordinate since that means doing away with Lorentzian manifolds and that seems quite wild. So is thermal time the new time coordinate?

I think the point is this is a major outstanding problem that may be nearing the time when it is ripe to work on. In a general covariant theory there is no preferred idea of time, and so one cannot do thermodynamics or stat mech as we ordinarily think of it.
One can do these things on an arbitrary fixed curved spacetime, but that is not the full GR treatment. So eventually humans HAVE to do thermo and stat mech in full GR context. Or the quantum version of that. But researchers must use their efforts wisely and not work on problems which are not ready to be addressed. For a while they only slowly chip away, or prepare some ideas to start with. that is how i see it.
I think one should not immediately think of a 4D lorentzian manifold (just my private opinion) I think one should think of the observable algebra, possibly abstractly as a C*-algebra. And the state embodies what we think we know and expect about all the observations. The fine thing is that this state itself uniquely specifies a one-parameter flow on the observables---the modular group of automorphisms of the algebra---uniquely up to some equivalence relation.
that is very abstract, but then one can in various cases make it specific using the familiar tools of the Hilbertspace, the 4D manifold, the fields written on the manifold, and so on. Or (I don't know) maybe LQG tools and Hilbertspace. At the moment I do not see any suggestion of a connection with LQG, it seems like an entirely separate development. (Except for sharing the general covariant GR perspective.)

I must repeatedly stress that this is only a hypothesis put forward to be tested, but C&R just could have hit on the way to handle time in a generally covariant quantum system. Remember that all we actually have is an algebra of observables. A 4D differential manifold is sheer mathematical fiction, as far as anyone knows. All we really have are our observations, a finite number of them, of which we can multiply and add together some to predict others (because they form an algebra).
==quote http://arxiv.org/abs/gr-qc/9406019 page 14==
Let us now return to generally covariant quantum theories. The theory is now given by an algebra A of generally covariant physical operators, a set of states ω, over A, and no additional dynamical information. When we consider a concrete physical system, as the physical fields that surround us, we can make a (relatively small) number of physical observation, and therefore determine a (generically impure) state ω in which the system is. Our problem is to understand the origin of the physical time flow, and our working hypothesis is that this origin is thermodynamical. The set of considerations above, and in particular the observation that in a generally covariant theory notions of time tend to be state dependent, lead us to make the following hypothesis.
The physical time depends on the state. When the system is in a state ω, the physical time is given by the modular group αt of ω.
The modular group of a state was defined in eq.(8) above. We call the time flow defined on the algebra of the observables by the modular group as the thermal time, and we denote the hypothesis above as the thermal time hypothesis.
The fact that the time is determined by the state, and therefore the system is always in an equilibrium state with respect to the thermal time flow, does not imply that evolution is frozen, and we cannot detect any dynamical change. In a quantum system with an infinite number of degrees of freedom, what we generally measure is the effect of small perturbations around a thermal state. In conventional quantum field theory we can extract all the information in terms of vacuum expectation values of products of fields operators, namely by means of a single quantum state |0⟩. This was emphasized by Wightman...
...Given the quantum algebra of observables A, and a quantum state ω, the modular group of ω gives us a time flow αt. Then, the theory describes physical evolution in the thermal time in terms of amplitudes of the form
FA,B(t) = ω(αt(B)A) (26)
where A and B are in A. Physically, this quantity is related to the amplitude for detecting a quantum excitation of B if we prepare A and we wait a time t time being the thermal time determined by the state of the system.
In a general covariant situation, the thermal time is the only definition of time available. However, in a theory in which a geometrical definition of time independent from the thermal time can be given, for instance in a theory defined on a Minkowski manifold, we have the problem of relating geometrical time and thermal time. As we shall see in the examples of the following section, the Gibbs states are the states for which the two time flows are proportional. The constant of proportionality is the temperature. Thus, within the present scheme the temperature is interpreted as the ratio between thermal time and geometrical time, defined only when the second is meaningful.6
We believe that the support to the thermal time hypothesis comes from analyzing its consequences and the way this hypothesis brings disconnected parts of physics together. In the following section, we explore some of these consequences. We will summarize the arguments in support the thermal time hypothesis in the conclusion...
C&R are telling us that in a fully generally covariant system without making some additional arbitrary choices, *the modular group flow is the only definition of time we've got*.
Further, it gives us transition amplitudes.
Further, if we go ahead and arbitrarily make a choice of geometry (e.g. Minkowski) then we can compare that time with the inherent modular group time, and the ratio can have a physical meaning.

It's official! Tour bus companies in Hollywood can no longer set up on sidewalks to sell their tours.
"It's a safety issue" explains Council member Mitch O'Farrell, who walked along the walk of fame, explaining
the new ordinance passed last month by LA City Council, in response to overcrowding of vendors, especially along Hollywood Boulevard.
Tour sales solicitation is common along the Boulevard, and the competition between companies has brought complaints about aggressive sales practices from tourists and business people.
"We are not rude" counters one tour seller, "now we have to stay inside private property, and who can afford the rent here, now?"
Indeed, only a handful of tour companies actually have storefronts. Even some of those are not too happy with having to bring in their kiosks and personnel inside.
"This is how we get the business!" says one operator, complaining the ordinance is unfair because it doesn't include cd vendors or character actors who stand on the streets.
LAPD officials explain that it's a First Amendment issue, at least with the CD vendors, who are not selling, but asking for a donation for a CD of their music (their intellectual property, as the law sees it). But if "they get pushy," adds the commanding officer at Hollywood Division "we are definitely gonna stop them!"
The actors on the strip are trying to unionize, as they fall into their own intellectual property parameters. One Superman adding that the "good" characters don't harass people, just the "scammers" that get into fights or hassle the tourists.
Today, no citations were issued, said police officers, as this "is more of an informational campaign" right now.
But yes, they will start writing citations soon, if they need to.
(FOX/CNS) - City Councilman Mitch O'Farrell walked along the
tourist area of Hollywood Boulevard today to remind tour-bus company operators
that a new law prohibits them from selling sight-seeing tickets on city
The City Council unanimously approved the ordinance last month. Sidewalk
vending of other types of goods and services was already illegal throughout
the city, but tour-bus companies had been exempted -- until now.
"Tour operators set up on the sidewalk with no permit, they block the
sidewalk," O'Farrell said. "They sell tours and people pay cash."
Tour sales solicitation is common along tourist-filled Hollywood
streets, prompting some complaints of aggressive sales tactics. The new
restriction is aimed at controlling what O'Farrell called a "wild west of tour
Tour companies will no longer be allowed to set up portable kiosks on
the sidewalks, but must operate on private property -- such as a Hollywood
Boulevard store front.
"This is a public safety issue," O'Farrell said. "It's a quality-of-
life issue. And we need to really raise the standards here in Hollywood."

Chamber struggles with fireworks funding
The Blaine Chamber of Commerce is looking for help to pay for its Fourth of July fireworks display.
The chamber, which is sponsoring this years Fourth of July festivities with Resort Semiahmoo, needs $10,000 to replace money cut from the city budget that paid for the annual fireworks show on Blaines waterfront.
A city-wide garage sale May 19 and 20 is one of several fund-raising activities planned. The location of the garage sale is still pending.
Stephanie Christianson and Ed Magner, co-chairs of the chambers Harborfest committee, said the traditional Skywater festival has been renamed this year to draw more out-of-town visitors.
Skywater no longer has name recognition, Christianson said. It used to. It used to be a huge thing; when I was little, I looked forward to Skywater. As soon as school got out we started looking forward to it. Christianson said the name Blaine Harborfest is more recognizable to visitors.
Organizers of the summer festival are also looking for money to compensate for the loss of money from the city. Following a consultants recomendation, city council voted to cut event funding significantly and redirect funds to infrastructure improvements.
The two-day festival, featuring live music, food vendor booths, parade, kids carnival and a beer garden, will be June 23 and 24 at the waterfront marina and Marine Park.
What youll see this year is pretty much what we did last year, Magner said. We hope to grow some more weekends and eventually be a year-round event, but our main focus has been making each event self-supporting, with the exception of the fireworks.
The fireworks are the only question mark, he said. You cant make money shooting off fireworks.
The chamber originally decided to not have fireworks this year but Carroll Solomon of the Blaine Visitor Information Center convinced them otherwise, saying the center had received calls from people who had attended the event last year and were planning their vacations around it this year.
Like last years Skywater Summer, Harborfest will include a series of activities all summer long such as last weeks April Fools golf tournament at Dakota Creek, the opening Kick-Off Festival, a tennis tournament on the same weekend as the kick-off, a Peace Arch toast and community picnic with officials from White Rock, B.C. planned for July 1, the Fourth of July fireworks and an August car show.
Anyone wishing to donate to the city-wide garage sale or volunteer to work at the kick-off weekend will be greeted with open arms. They can contact Magner, Christianson, or chamber president Pam
at 332-6484 or send an e-mail to blaine_harbor

Celebrations got out of hand in East Lansing following Michigan State's big win Saturday over Ohio State in the Big Ten Championship game.Police say thousands of students got rowdy at a large bonfire after the win. 15 people have been arrested, including 12 MSU students, one MSU graduate and two individuals with unknown affiliation. The city of Lansing says public safety officials also responded to at least 57 fires following the game. No. 10 MSU defeated No. 2 Ohio State 34-24, earning its first Rose Bowl appearance in a quarter-century.East Lansing police and Michigan State University are now offering up to $20,000 in reward money for tips that lead to the conviction of those involved in the civil disturbance. You can share tips in the following ways: + Calling 1-877-ELPD-TIP + email@example.com + www.facebook.com/EastLansingPD.A fundraiser has also been set up for a student whose car was flipped over and damaged by the crowd. Online: http://www.gofundme.com/5nn8ugVIDEO: Hear from that student and others in a report from Fox 2's Robin Schwartz, or read the report below _____
We caught up with senior Steve Ripley hoofing it on this blustery day because, for him, the wild Spartan celebration ended like this. Witnesses saw eight people flip his '95 Honda Civic on to its roof. Spartan fans turning on one of their own for apparently no reason. "My car is pretty much ruined because it was upside down and the engine kind of, all the fluid and stuff mixed in. My windshield was damaged and basically the cost repair is just way more than the car is actually worth," he says. Steve needs the car to get to and from his job at a restaurant. He saved up and bought it sophomore year but this rowdy crowd didn't care about any of that. Police have arrested 15 people so far and they're offering up to $20,000 in reward money for information leading to the arrest of others involved. "The Michigan State police from the university, East Lansing police, are all reviewing tapes and footage to make certain that we can identify people who engaged in that behavior, the malicious destruction of property, the starting of fires and there was even debris that was thrown at police officers," says George Lahanas, East Lansing city manager. The city manager says of the 15 arrests, 12 are MSU students. One is a graduate student, and two appear to be outsiders. We're told there was at least 57 fires early Sunday morning and two to 3,000 people gathered in Cedar Village to throw mattresses, bicycles and other items into this huge fire. Police in riot gear dispersed the crowd. "I don't feel that it's anyone's right to destroy someone's property like they did with his car," says Karen Wood. Students like her are outraged and embarrassed. They say this does not represent the vast majority of students. That's why she started an online fundraiser to help Steve, who she's never met. "I knew that if just a couple people donated a couple dollars here and there, he'd have something to kind of say, 'We're sorry and we have your back,'" Wood continues. "She just started this thing and I was just amazed how many people came forward and donated," Steve says. At the time of this report more than three thousand dollars had been donated. Steve says the victory turned his world upside down. He's experienced the good, the bad and the ugly all at once.
Aggressive wasps have forced an entire neighborhood in Detroit to come to a standstill.

ArquitecturavidaNYCIs It Good For Keratin Treated Hair????How can this product be recommended for Keratin treated hair when the 2nd ingredient is Sodium (SALT) which is a BIG NO NO NO for anybody who've had an expensive Keratin Treatment done?????

KrissyChicagoNot For People Who Have Had Keratin Treatments.this name of the shampoo and conditioner can be misleading. it says keratin care but because it has keratin in it they mean it as its keratin care for your hair. so this line of hair care is for people who want to have keratin in their hair care but not go thru with the treatments. so it will put back strength shine and smoothness back in your hair, without you having to go thru the treatments. but because this does contain a sulfate its not good for anyone with keratin treated hair. hopefully your hair stylist can point you in the direction for a good shampoo and conditoner for after care of keratin treatments.

AliciaIs It Good For Keratin Treated Hair????I get keratin treatments often and Sodium Chloride is the only ingredient you have to worry about. If your shampoo and conditioner is Sodium Chloride free, it's safe to use. I asked my hair stylist the same question and she assured me it's okay.

Manatee Explorer
Almost 500 years have passed since the discovery of this magnificent river system that flows through the world´s largest primeval forest, containing 10% of all existing trees, 70% of all pharmaceutical compounds, and native Indians that live symbiotically with their unique ecosystem. This is the habitat of wildlife that is sure to be watching you - or vice versa - if you are lucky: freshwater dolphins, 500 species of birds, half a dozen species of monkeys, caimans, tapirs, 2500 species of butterflies.
Manatee Amazon Explorer
Today, you can be a temporary guest in this magical wonderland for young and old. The new Manatee Amazon Explorer, designed for jungle adventures, yet featuring the comforts and advantages of modern technology, is the result of over 20 years of experience in running expeditions. Manatee vessel is comfortable, and it complies with both national and international navigation norms, as well as safety, security, and environmental protection standards. Manatee is certified by Smart Voyager and Rainforest Alliance, both of which guarantee the sustainability of their operation.
The craft has 3 decks:
- On the main deck there is a dining area, kitchen, the crew's cabins, and the engine room.
- The upper deck has 10 cabins including crew cabins. The sun deck holds the bridge deck, 4 cabins, the bar and lounge, and the exterior dining area.
- The Manatee Amazon Explorer is also equipped with a small fleet of motorized canoes. The canoes provide unlimited mobility and allow for the exploration of the most remote areas and inaccessible shores.
The boat has the capacity to accommodate up to 30 passengers in 14 of its charming double, double-twin and single-twin cabins. Each cabin is equipped with air conditioning, closets, a private bathroom complete with a special shower massage, hot and cold water, 24 hours of electricity and 110-voltage outlets and switches.
Common areas
The vessel also has interior and exterior dining areas that are located on the main deck and the sun deck. On the latter deck you can also find the bar and conference room. The conference room has a flat-screen television, projector and comfortable seating, and it is here where the nature guides will give informative talks and detail the following day's activities. This room also has a computer lounge with internet service, as well as a small library where a wide variety of materials can be found, from novels to specialized guides on the region's flora and fauna.
In the kitchen, the chefs offer you a spectacular variety of both national and international cuisine as well as an excellent selection of beers and sparkling wines to be enjoyed in the interior or exterior dining areas.
- Bird watching: For bird watchers this part of the world is like heaven with many species that can only be seen in the great Amazonian rainforest. Excursions on land will give you the opportunity to see some of these beautiful birds at a relatively close distance. The expert nature guides know all about the species that will be observed.
- Nature walks and hiking: The majority of the nature walks will take place on the solid ground of the Amazon rainforests. They can be long, medium or short and can be scheduled according to your wishes.
Canoe excursions: Canoe excursions are an excellent opportunity to witness the local flora and fauna. There are many opportunities to paddle in these small native canoes either alone or in a group. In order to explore remote areas we also use motorized canoes.
- Swimming: There will be many opportunities to enjoy this aquatic experience in one or more rivers and lakes that the Ecuadorian Amazon has to offer. Full of vitamins and minerals, the water of these rivers obtain their color from the fallen leaves that steep their colors into the water like tea.

Diet, Breast-Feeding, and Colic
Last Revised: February 25, 2013
Author: Healthwise Staff
Medical Review: John Pope, MD - Pediatrics & Susan C. Kim, MD - Pediatrics
The exact cause of colic is not known. But some breast-feeding mothers have noticed that certain foods seem to cause colic in their babies. It is possible that some foods may affect breast milk and contribute to intestinal gas or other digestive problems, which may make crying episodes worse. More research is needed to investigate this relationship.
Foods commonly associated with affecting a mother's breast milk in this way include:
If you suspect that your baby's crying becomes worse after feeding with breast milk, keep a record of what you eat and how your baby acts, especially when crying episodes occur.

Nearly a century ago, the Hippodrome opened as a combination movie palace and vaudeville theater, spending more than 70 years hosting big names such as Bob Hope and Frank Sinatra. Following a double-decade period of slow business and bad hairstyles, the Hippodrome closed down in 1990. Now, however, after an exhaustive restoration project that reanimated the theater's chandelier-lit arches, the mural above the proscenium stage, and the grand-theater boxes that hearken back to opera's heyday, the Hippodrome reopens to the delight of Baltimore's cultural landscape.
Founded in 1997, Metropolitan Classical Ballet is regarded as one of the most successful ballet companies in Texas.
