I install oracle 11g with unicode char set option. And I found that I can insert unicode character into CHAR datatype column. So my question is that: what is the difference between CHAR and NCHAR datatype when installing oracle 11g with unicode option ?
Take the 2-minute tour ×
Stack Overflow is a question and answer site for professional and enthusiast programmers. It's 100% free.
what is the difference bettween char and nchar datatype when installing oracle 11g with unicode char set option?
There are two main differences.
The default length semantic (as specified by the NLS_LENGTH_SEMANTICS parameter) is used for CHAR but not for NCHAR. The default value for this parameter is byte. The length of NCHAR is always in characters. This is important because NCHAR(30) will always hold 30 unicode characters - as will CHAR(30 CHAR) - but CHAR(30) will only hold 30 bytes by default which may or may not equal 30 unicode characters.
Additionally NCHAR support is limited in many client applications and some Oracle components so if you use AL32UTF8 for the database character set, Oracle's advice is to just stick to CHAR and not use NCHAR at all.

PROVIDENCE --- ItŌĆÖs been said time and time again that itŌĆÖs tough to beat a team three times in a season, and on Wednesday night, Lincoln High realized how difficult a task that is in its Division I losersŌĆÖ bracket final with longtime nemesis Cumberland High.
After getting swept in their regular-season series with the Lions, the Clippers made sure their third time playing their rivals was indeed the charm.
Bridget ConnorsŌĆÖ two-out, run-scoring base hit in the top of the second inning was the difference in a superb pitchersŌĆÖ duel between CumberlandŌĆÖs Bethany Paul and LincolnŌĆÖs Alyssa McCoart and fetched the Clippers a hard-fought 1-0 victory at Rhode Island College.
The fourth-seeded Clippers (17-5), who dropped into the losersŌĆÖ bracket on Monday by suffering a 1-0 defeat to Mount St. Charles Academy, but came back the next day to edge Toll Gate High, 4-3, will take on Cranston West High on Friday at 7:30 p.m. back at RIC.
But before the Clippers could set their sights on their future, they had to deal with the present and a very tough foe in the top-seeded Lions (18-4) that beat them by scores of 8-5 and 5-1.
ŌĆ£We had to play a perfect game to beat them, and tonight, we did,ŌĆØ remarked Cumberland coach Marty Crowley. ŌĆ£LincolnŌĆÖs a very, very good team, and at some point, I knew we were going to run into each other (in the playoffs). But I canŌĆÖt say enough about my kids. TheyŌĆÖre resilient and they did a great job.ŌĆØ
The Lions also did a great job, one that would have been good enough to win a lot of softball games, but on this night, they were unable to do much with the strong pitching of Paul, who struck out nine batters and limited them to a half dozen singles and a walk.
ŌĆ£This doesnŌĆÖt take anything away from what this team accomplished,ŌĆØ added Lincoln coach Jon Bruckner. ŌĆ£This is a tremendous group of girls that is very dedicated, and they fought, fought, fought (in the losersŌĆÖ bracket). IŌĆÖm really proud of the way they bounced back. They had a heck of a season.ŌĆØ
The Clippers struck fear in the Lions in their opening at-bats. Just four pitches into the contest, they loaded the bases on a line single to center by Connors, a bunt hit by Krissy Peffer, and a line single to right-center by Paul.
But McCoart squirmed off the hook by getting the next three outs on a pair of popouts to second baseman Barbara Jackson, sandwiched around a strikeout.
ŌĆ£The first inning, we came out and our bats were flying,ŌĆØ noted Crowley. ŌĆ£We didnŌĆÖt score, but I think we set the tone early. Even though they beat us twice, this time, we werenŌĆÖt going to be pushed around.ŌĆØ
The Clippers then broke on the board in the second on ConnorsŌĆÖ timely hit, as she poked a 1-0 pitch into left-center to drive in Kelsey Cahill, who worked a one-out walk and stole second with two gone.
That run snapped McCoartŌĆÖs consecutive scoreless inning streak at 29, a run that began in the LionsŌĆÖ second-to-last regular-season game, a 5-1 triumph on May 26 over the Clippers that gave Lincoln the Division I-North title.
But the Central Connecticut State University-bound McCoart, who ended up yielding eight hits and fanning five batters, got tougher as the duel progressed and only allowed two more runners to get as far as second base over the next five innings.
ŌĆ£Alyssa pitched her way out of so many jams,ŌĆØ added Bruckner. ŌĆ£This game could have been much different than a 1-0 (game), but she had a lot of heart on the mound and kept us in the game right to the last out.ŌĆØ
The Lions, meanwhile, had a handful of chances to even the game in the final six innings, but they were never able to produce a timely two-out hit. Five of the seven runners they stranded on base were in scoring position. And thatŌĆÖs not all.
ŌĆ£I think the key was keeping their top two batters (Jackson and Emma Hart) off the bases,ŌĆØ remarked Crowley. ŌĆ£We never got in that trouble with (No. 3 batter Lindsay) Mayer coming up. We could just play normal defense and not have to worry about any trick stuff.
ŌĆ£We held Mayer to a single and (cleanup batter) McCoart to a single and an error, but outside of that, we limited their two biggest threats.ŌĆØ
Two of the ClippersŌĆÖ big threats also finished the night with excellent games at the plate. Connors ended up going 3-for-4, and Paul added two hits and a walk. Chelsea Brennan had two of the LionsŌĆÖ hits.
ŌĆ£(Connors) did a great job at the top of the order and Beth was outstanding,ŌĆØ said Crowley. ŌĆ£And we played great defense once again and made the plays when we had to (make them) behind (Paul). We played a great game and IŌĆÖm proud of the girls.ŌĆØ
Cumberland 010 000 0--1-8-1
Lincoln 000 000 0--0-6-0
Bethany Paul and Krissy Peffer; Alyssa McCoart and Allie Dzialo.

Priced to shift FAST and if you want the best Salmon and Sea Trout Hackles you won't hang about!! 2 NEW White dyed Colours Silver Dr.Blue and Magenta have been added PLUS Badger/Mottled Badger in Magenta and Fl.Yellow Chartreuse.

Nige at Lakeland handles thousands of capes each year and firmly believes these are the best Salmon and Sea Trout Capes available for European and Scandinavian style flies on singles, doubles and trebles!!

The MOST important thing regarding these Capes is that THEY ARE AVAILABLE!!!!!!!!!! Show me the 4B Hen Capes in the Salmon & Sea Trout Range or for Natural Colours go to the Whiting 4B Hen Capes for the cracking Fiery Brown!!!
Lakeland Fly-Tying began trading in January 2000 and over the last 13 years we have strived to become the modern, efficient online and mail-order business we pride ourselves on being today. Over the years we have developed a reputation amongst our many valued customers for carefully selecting and stocking high quality products and presenting them at the right price. As we have grown, we have invested a great deal in improving our ability to serve our customers better - introducing sophisticated stock management and order processing systems to ensure your experience of shopping with us is both fast and efficient. This allows us to ensure that all orders received before 1.00pm (GMT) will be winging their way to you that very same day.
Success has not been easy. The last 13 years must have been one of the most testing periods in history for a fledgling business. Outbreaks of the foot and mouth disease in 2001 destroyed our second year of business. This was followed by avian flu and then what seemed like years of severe weather throughout the Summer. It destroyed many of the Game Fairs we attended and, to some degree, depended on not just to sell but to say a fond "hello" to our faithful supporters. Just when you think things can't get much worse we enter the worst recession for a generation. Throughout this period Lakeland has developed and adapted to become a much stronger and driven business; one with a clear and strong business plan that is determined to be here for you for many years to come.
Through hard work and a determination, Lakeland have developed incredibly strong relationships with the world's biggest suppliers and with the support of companies like Whiting Farms, Renzetti, HMH, Dyna-King,Wapsi, Partridge and Veniards we now stock extensive product ranges from your favourite and most trusted brands. As the economy improves, Lakeland will continue to develop the product ranges so you can enjoy the many new items arriving each and every month. Lakeland's aim over the next few years is to increase product availability and offer our customers an even faster and even more efficient purchasing system with a web site that is both a pleasure to use and browse.
… and don't forget, if you need advice on our service, our products or even how to make the best use of the things that you buy, give Lakeland a call. We're here to help.

A Gaussian beam propagating in a photopolymer undergoes self-phase modulation to form diffraction rings and then transforms into a single ring, which in turn ruptures into a necklace of stable self-trapped multimode filaments. The transitions of the beam between the three distinct nonlinear forms only occur at intensities where the beam-induced refractive index profile in the medium slowly evolves from a Gaussian to a flattened Gaussian.

Self-trapped light filaments that are arranged in a circle show intriguingly different behaviour from solitary self-trapped beams propagating under the same conditions. For example, the mutual stabilization of necklace filaments enables their quasi-solitonic propagation in a Kerr medium, which by contrast does not support individual 3-D solitons [1]. Circular arrays of filaments also exhibit rich and varied dynamics with respect to optical power and the presence of defects [2], mutual incoherence [3] or phase difference [4] between filaments, propagation in photonic lattices [4], topological charge of the parent vortex [5,6] and interactive forces [7].
In both experimental and theoretical studies, circular filament arrays have been predominantly generated through modulation instability and consequent filamentation of optical vortices [4–7] while filamentation of uniform phase, ring beams has also been reported [8,9]. Here we report that an entirely unmodified and relatively weak Gaussian, continuous wave beam spontaneously transforms into a stable circular array of filaments as it propagates through a photopolymer. Under the nonlinear conditions originating from free-radical polymerization [10], the beam first undergoes self-phase modulation and excites a series of diffraction rings before transforming into a distinct single ring, which stabilizes upon collapse into a circular array of self-trapped multimode filaments. Because refractive index changes due to polymerisation are irreversible, the cylindrical waveguides induced by the self-trapped filaments remain permanently inscribed and provide an indelible imprint of filament trajectories. Experimental observations of the seamless and relatively slow transitions (spanning seconds to minutes) of the beam between three different forms of nonlinear propagation, i.e., diffraction rings, single ring and ring of multimode filaments are to our knowledge unprecedented.
Our findings are relevant to but different from a recent report of the transformation of a super-Gaussian beam with its characteristic flat-top profile into a ring while propagating through a nonlinear Kerr medium [11]. Seeded by noise, the ring subsequently collapsed into filaments. This spontaneous and dramatic change in beam profile was considered unique to the super-Gaussian beam. Until the current report, Gaussian beams propagating under similar nonlinear conditions were assumed to collapse to the Townes profile [12].
We previously examined nonlinear propagation of the Gaussian beam across a broad range (3 x 10−5 Wcm−2 to 1.3 x 104 Wcm−2) of intensities that spanned over 10 orders of magnitude.10 There were significant intensity-dependent variations in the rate, magnitude and shape of refractive index changes induced by the beam at the entrance face of the sample. The different spatial profiles of refractive index changes in turn elicited a diverse collection of nonlinear propagation phenomena: at small intensities, the beam induced an approximately Gaussian refractive index profile, which initiated self-trapping of the beam. At mid-level intensities, the rapid increase in magnitude of the same Gaussian index profile led to spatial self-phase modulation of the beam and consequent excitation of diffraction rings [13]. At extremely high intensities, the almost instantaneous saturation of refractive index over the entire cross-section of the beam immediately led to its filamentation.
The transitions of the same Gaussian beam described in this report between different forms of nonlinear propagation originate from the specific way in which the refractive index profile evolves in the time-scale of the experiment. We located these transitions within an extremely narrow range (27 Wcm−2 to 111 Wcm−2) of the incident beam. Such a spontaneous evolution of the refractive index profile and consequent modulation of the beam profile are due to the relative large, slow and saturable refractive index changes that are unique to the photopolymerisation process [14] and cannot be achieved in nonlinear materials such as Kerr media and photorefractive crystals.
2. Results and discussions
2.1 Experimental observations
Preparation of the photopolymer employed in this study has been detailed elsewhere [10]. Briefly, the photopolymer consisted of a sol of oligomeric siloxanes with photopolymerizable methacrylate substituents. The sol was sensitized to visible wavelengths through the addition of 0.05 wt% of a titanocene free-radical photoinitiator (λmax = 393 nm, 460 nm). The sample was contained in a cylindrical cell (diameter = 12 mm, pathlength (z) = 6.0 mm) with optically flat and transparent windows. The sol was partially photopolymerised and transformed into a non-free flowing gel through uniform illumination with white light emitted by a quartz-tungsten halogen lamp. In a typical experiment, a linearly polarized, continuous wave, 532 nm laser beam (TEM00 mode) was focused to a diameter (1/e2) of 20 µm and intensity of 80 Wcm−2 onto the entrance face (z = 0.0 mm) of the gel. The spatial intensity profile of the beam at the exit face (z = 6.0 mm) of the sample was imaged through a pair of planoconvex lenses onto a CCD camera and monitored over time.
Typical experimental results presented in Fig. 1 showed that the beam initially diverged as it propagated through the medium from a width of 20 µm at z = 0.0 mm to 319 µm at z = 6.0 mm (Fig. 1a). Within the next few seconds, concentric rings emerged around the beam and rapidly increased in number (Fig. 1b-d). Up to 5 diffraction rings, the outermost of which was the most intense, could be resolved. The beam then developed a dark central spot that gradually widened, effectively transforming the beam at 37 s into a single ring with a thickness of 190 µm and outer diameter of 420 µm. At 61 s, the dark spot had widened sufficiently to decrease the thickness of the single ring to 27 µm; narrowing of the ring was accompanied by a 2-fold increase in its relative intensity. It is important to note that the thick single ring was distinct from the thin diffraction rings, which were faintly visible during this time but underwent no further significant changes and eventually disappeared.
Fig. 1
The single ring, which maintained its diameter of 420 µm from this point, was unstable and spontaneously divided into multiple filaments. Although up to 17 filaments were observed at 100 s (Fig. 1g), they suffered rapid and random fluctuations in number and intensity until they stabilized at 253 s into a set of 7 azimuthally positioned filaments. Each filament underwent strong self-trapping as indicated by a 20-fold increase in intensity (relative to the single ring at 61 s). The circular array of filaments remained stable for as long as it was monitored (509 s) (Fig. 1j, k). The sequential transitions of the Gaussian beam from diffraction rings to a single-ring structure, which stabilized upon filamentation were reproducible in all 5 experiments performed under identical conditions.
2.2. Evolution of beam-induced refractive index profiles in the organosiloxane
The transitions of the beam observed in Fig. 1 correlate directly to the evolution of the refractive index profile that it induces at z = 0.0 mm. Because they originate from a free-radical polymerization process, photoinduced index changes in the organosiloxane are large (Δn = 0.006), saturable and slow, spanning seconds to minutes [15]. As a result, the spatial profile of the index changes induced by the Gaussian beam evolves significantly over this timescale.
The temporal variation of the refractive index profile induced by the beam at z = 0.0 mm is presented in Fig. 2 ; index profiles were calculated from the expression for index changes due to photoinitiated free-radical polymerization [15].
Fig. 2
Because the rate of polymerization is intensity-dependent, the maximum index change is first induced by the axial region of the beam with a cylindrically symmetric decay from this point. As a result, the beam initially induces an index profile that corresponds to its own Gaussian shape (step 1 in Fig. 2). With time, polymerization and corresponding index changes increase and then saturate first in the axial region and gradually in the less intense regions surrounding the axis. The index profile therefore transforms from Gaussian to an increasingly flattened Gaussian shape (step 20 Fig. 2).
It is important to note that according to Equation [1], the evolution of the refractive index profile from Gaussian to flattened Gaussian plotted in Fig. 2 would occur at all incident intensities. However, the rate of this evolution varies significantly with incident intensity. For example, at small intensities, the Gaussian shape of the index profile leads to self-trapping (thus precluding self-phase modulation and single-ring formation) while at very large intensities, the rapid, almost instantaneous saturation of the index profile causes filamentation. The transitions described in the current report are found within a narrow range of intensities within which the evolution of the refractive index profile from Gaussian to flattened Gaussian and the consequent transformation of the beam occur at a measurable timescale. As detailed below, this spontaneous and relatively slow evolution of the refractive index profile underlies the transitions of the beam observed in Fig. 1.
2.3. Self-phase modulation due to a Gaussian index profile
The Gaussian refractive index profile induced by the beam at early times (step 1 in Fig. 2) leads to self-phase modulation [13,16], which gives rise to the diffraction rings observed in Fig. 1b-d. Self-phase modulation occurs when the Gaussian refractive index profile imposes a transverse phase shift on the beam according to16:Eq. (3), the profile of the phase shift Δψ(r) corresponds to the Gaussian profile of the refractive index change (Δn(r, z)). Radiation from any two points along Δψ(r) with the same wavevector will undergo constructive (destructive) interfere when Δψ(r1) – Δψ(r2) = mπ, where m is an even (odd) integer. Multiple rings form when the maximum phase shift Δψo > 2π. The cylindrically symmetric profile of Δψ(r) produces an array of interference cones that propagate through the medium and are projected as the concentric diffraction rings at z = 6.0 mm (Fig. 1b). Consistent with the theory of self-phase modulation [16], the outermost ring, which originates from radiation with the greatest about the inflection point, was the most intense (Fig. 1b).
2.4. Single ring formation due to a flattened refractive index profile
The transition of the beam from diffraction rings into a single ring (Fig. 1c-f) takes place when the Gaussian index profile originally induced by the beam flattens over time (Fig. 2). Under nonlinear conditions, the beam encountering the flattened-Gaussian index profile at z = 0.0 mm is focused into a ring, which then continues to propagate along z. We confirmed this through beam propagation simulations in which a Gaussian beam was launched into the photopolymer medium that had a flattened Gaussian refractive index profile introduced at z = 0.0 mm (Fig. 3 ). In accordance with the experimental system, the simulated beam was made to propagate under nonlinear conditions by inducing index changes along its propagation path according to Eq. (1). Simulations were carried out using the commercially available software package BeamPROP (RSoft Design Group, Inc.) where refractive index updates were iteratively provided through an external subroutine.10
Fig. 3
Results of simulations presented in Fig. 3 show the temporal evolution of the spatial intensity profile of the initially Gaussian beam at z = 6.0 mm. Consistent with experimental findings, the beam gradually developed a dark central depression, effectively transforming it into a ring. (It is important to note that consistent with experiment, simulations that show ring formation were carried out when the refractive index profile induced at z = 0.0 mm had already evolved to a flattened Gaussian profile. By contrast, similar beam propagation calculations carried out at relatively smaller intensities lead to self-trapping of the beam, also in accordance with experiment10).
Our findings of single-ring formation are consistent with previous findings of a flat-top beam with a super-Gaussian profile that transformed into a single ring while propagating under nonlinear conditions in a Kerr medium [11]. Here, the super-Gaussian beam induced refractive index changes with the corresponding flat profile. As confirmed through phase and ray plots, this flattened refractive index profile focused the beam into a ring that evolved into a self-consistent G-profile. The flattened Gaussian profiles of the index changes induced in the organosiloxane are in fact close approximations of the super-Gaussian profile, which is described by:
Equation (4), which reduces to the Gaussian form when n = 2, increases in flatness with n. The excellent overlap between the super-Gaussian and flattened Gaussian profiles is displayed in Fig. 4 ; the strong correspondence between the two spatial profiles indicates that the origin of single ring formation is the same in both Kerr and organosiloxane systems. However, the critical difference is that while single rings were obtained with a super-Gaussian beam in Kerr media, they were elicited with an entirely unmodified Gaussian beam in the organosiloxane. In our system, the flattened refractive index profile does not correspond to the original spatial intensity profile of the beam but instead, spontaneously evolves over time as the laser induced refractive index profile reaches saturation (Fig. 2).
Fig. 4
2.5. Modulation instability of single ring to azimuthally arranged multimode filaments
The single ring induced by the beam was unstable to random noise in the organosiloxane system and collapsed into a ring of filaments (Fig. 1). We have previously shown that broad, uniform beams propagating in the organosiloxane under similar conditions suffer modulation instability [10]. During polymerization, weak amplitude perturbations (noise) in the medium that are negligible under linear conditions became amplified triggering the spontaneous division of the beam into filaments that were randomly positioned in space. In the current study, modulation instability of the single ring led to an azimuthal arrangement of filaments that initially fluctuated in number but rapidly stabilised into 7 filaments. Each filament underwent strong self-trapping as indicated by a decrease in average filament width (1/e2) from 50 µm at 173 s to 21 µm at 211 s and a 20-fold increase in intensity relative to the initial intensity of the beam.
Each self-trapped filament behaved like an individual self-trapped waveguide and was able to support more than one optical mode. Although their spatial positions and number did not change further, careful scrutiny revealed that the intensity distribution within each filament did continue to change. Figure 5 traces the behaviour of a single self-trapped filament in the ring.
Fig. 5
Until 207 s, the filament retained the tightly focused profile characteristic of a self-trapped beam; this corresponds to the fundamental mode (LP01) supported by a circular waveguide [17]. At 313 s, the intensity distribution within the filament changed into the two lobed profile characteristic of the first order waveguide mode, LP11. The filament reverted back to LP01 at 318 s. Such oscillations between LP01 and LP11 continued until 393 s. Only the first and the last oscillation of the beam between LP01 and LP11 are presented in Fig. 5.
We recently demonstrated that under certain conditions, a single self-trapped beam evolved from single mode to multimode propagation in the organosiloxane [10]. We detected the sequential appearance of up to 5 high order waveguide modes, which underwent oscillations similar to those observed between the LP01 and LP11 modes in the filaments (Fig. 5). Self-trapped beams in most other media including Kerr materials and photorefractive crystals induce only a single mode waveguide and propagate as its fundamental mode [18]. Relative to these materials, the maximum index change in the organosiloxane is greater by at least 2 orders of magnitude. Here, the beam initially self-traps as the fundamental mode but continues to increase the refractive index of its own waveguide and in this way, sequentially excite high order modes. Theoretical simulations showed that the oscillations between modes originate from the slowly increasing refractive index of the self-induced waveguide [19]. This causes a continual variation in both the number and propagation constants of modes, which is observed as the complex oscillations between modes at the exit face of the medium.
The remarkable similarity in behaviour of the filaments in Fig. 5 to that of a single self-trapped beam confirms, as has been proposed by Chiao [20], Campillo and associates [21], that the filaments resulting from modulation instability are a microscale example of self-trapping. In contrast to the self-trapped beam however, only one high order mode was observed in the self-trapped filaments. As intensity of the beam must be distributed between multiple filaments, the intensity and therefore the refractive index change within a single filament is probably insufficient to support multiple modes. Due to the relatively small dimensions of each self-trapped filament, it was moreover difficult to detect high order modes in all of the repeat experiments. However, we observed them at least twice for each of the intensities studied.
2.6. Intensity dependence of filamentation due to modulation instability of single rings
In addition to 80 Wcm−2, the three transitions of the beam were observed at 5 different intensities spanning a narrow range (27 Wcm−2, 40 Wcm−2, 64 Wcm−2, 95 Wcm−2 and 111 Wcm−2). Images of the single ring as well as the corresponding circular array of filaments induced at different intensities are collected in Fig. 6 , associated parameters, tabulated (Table 1 ) and complete results for each intensity, presented as supplementary information
Fig. 6
Although the widths of single rings were statistically identical (Table 1), the number of filaments that formed upon ring collapse varied with intensity. Rings induced at 27 Wcm−2 and 40 Wcm−2 generally ruptured into a coplanar pair of filaments. A significant increase in their number was found at greater intensities. 16 and 17 filaments were observed at 64 Wcm−2 and 80 Wcm−2, respectively while 14 and 16 filaments were induced at 95 Wcm−2 and 111 Wcm−2. This trend is consistent with the previous study of the propagation of a super-Gaussian beam in a Kerr medium, in which the number of filaments increased in proportion to the square-root of the input power [11].
Interestingly, the filaments were preferentially positioned along the polarization direction of the incident (linearly polarized) beam. Although particularly evident in the case of the two smallest intensities where few filaments formed, this bias in orientation was also noted at some of the greater intensities where the two most intense filaments within the ring were collinear and coincided with the polarization direction.
2.7. Self-induced channel waveguides
Because refractive index changes due to polymerization are permanent, the self-trapped filaments permanently inscribed a corresponding ring of channel waveguides within the organosiloxane. Optical micrographs revealed that the self-induced channels were azimuthally arranged with each channel projecting outwards from the original propagation path of the beam (Fig. 7 ). This broadening of the ring of filaments is consistent with the conical trajectory of the single ring; the filaments that form upon collapse of the single ring then trace the surface of a cone.
Fig. 7
The number of channel waveguides inscribed in the organosiloxane was in agreement with the number of filaments observed during optical experiments. For example, two channel waveguides were induced at 27 Wcm−2 while four were induced in the case of 40 Wcm−2 (in the latter, the number of filaments changed from two to four towards the end of the experiment). At greater intensities, the number of self-induced channels increased according to the number of filaments observed by the end of the optical experiment (Fig. 7).
3. Conclusions
We have shown that a Gaussian beam propagating in a photopolymerisable organosiloxane transitions between three distinct forms of nonlinear behaviour, self-phase modulation, single-ring formation and filamentation. The ring of filaments, which is generated at intensities that are considerably smaller compared to other systems, does not require any prior modification of the Gaussian beam. This behaviour is attributed to the temporal evolution of the refractive index profile that is unique to beam-initiated polymerisation, which evolves from a Gaussian to a flattened Gaussian shape. The former elicits diffraction rings due to self-phase modulation while the latter leads to the formation of a single optical ring, which ultimately collapses due to modulation instability into an array of azimuthally positioned self-trapped filaments. The filaments inscribed corresponding rings of cylindrical waveguides within the organosiloxane medium, which enabled direct visualization of the 3-D trajectories of the self-trapped filaments.
Apart from its significance as a fundamentally new nonlinear process that spontaneously transforms a Gaussian beam into a stable circular array of self-trapped filaments, these findings have potential application as an optics-free method for beam shaping. The process also opens route for mask free lithography of 3-D cylindrical waveguides with non-planar trajectories that are impossible to achieve through conventional mask-based lithographic techniques.

(AP) Detroit Lions tight end Dorin Dickerson is the latest NFL player to stay in a game with a concussion.
He joined a list that is likely long.
Buffalo Bills safety Jim Leonhard and Tennessee Titans safety George Wilson both acknowledged this week they have played with concussions in the past.
San Diego Chargers safety Eric Weddle says, "of course it happens," because players don't want to come out of games for fear of losing their jobs or roles.
Dickerson didn't tell the Lions' medical staff immediately about his concussion. He later dropped a pass and was called for holding in overtime of Sunday's 23-20 loss to the New York Giants. Four days later, the 25-year-old journeyman was put on injured reserve.

Manhattan battle that stood out for me and that I doubt would've been true of a Michael Bay action sequence:
1) The focus stayed on the characters. Although there was plenty of destruction porn, the characters of the Avengers and their particular traits remained at the forefront of our attention: Captain America inspired and led people, Widow was fearless and resourceful, Hulk was mainly in it for the smashing but came through for his teammates when it counted, etc. The most important beats weren't explosions and crashes, but character moments.
2) The civilians weren't ignored. The heroes' first priority, as it should be for superheroes, was to protect the innocent and rescue the endangered. Even in the middle of this huge apocalyptic battle, they were taking the time to free people trapped in buses and coordinate evacuations and rescue hostages and so on.

Follow these three steps to build an effective brand:
- Hire a firm that is able to use its expertise and work with one or two people within the company to structure an amazing brand.
- Present the new direction to the wider company. However, instead of having the branding team perform the presentation, have an executive who was involved in every conversation present it to the company at large and engage in a conversation to get feedback.
- Then, and only then, if the level of feedback given is so impressive that it will improve the brand, should you incorporate that feedback and make changes.

1995 Ford Taurus Q&A
1995 Ford Taurus Question: fan for heat and defrost
it seems to be an electrical can i by pass the fuuse box to test to battery i don t have a maula so i am not sure of fuse locaction or relay if tthere is one - baxter
Answer 1
Check the fuses first, if they are blown then you know you have an excessive current draw in the circuit. If you by pass the fuse to test the blower motor and there is a dead short circuit to ground, you may cause damage to the vehicle wiring or burn yourself. If your electrical experience is limited, I recommend taking it to a shop and save yourself the trouble and possible added costs. Good luck. - irvtech

Publisher's Description
What is God like? Can I trust Him? Does He know me and can He help me tackle the challenges I face?
Most people know a little something about God, but their knowledge of who He is and how He works stops just past the point of an initial introduction.
Why is it so important to know the One who knows all about you? The answer is simple: when you come to a point where you understand His ways, your life takes on new meaning. You stop looking at old problems and feeling defeat, fear, and anxiety. Suddenly, you realize that the Person who gave you life has set an amazing course for you to follow.
In Step with God offers simple, clear teaching that encourages and challenges you to approach life and its decisionsboth big and smallby first knowing and considering Gods character.
"The nearer I draw to the Lord," writes Dr. Stanley, "the more I will know about HimHis love for me and His good plans and desires for my life. Plus, the more intimate I become with God, the better I understand His way, and this understanding leads to a deeper longing to know God better. I learn how to discern His will for my life and the situations I encounter."
Author Bio
Dr. Charles Stanley is senior pastor of First Baptist Church in Atlanta, Georgia. He is the author of numerous books, including The Blessings of Brokenness and other titles in the popular A Touch of His . . . devotional series. His popular radio and TV program In Touch is heard and seen worldwide.

Lynda Barry had a bona fide hit with Cruddy, and her fans are now calling for her older comic strips, all out of print. This book answers the call as it delivers the life and times of Marlys Mullen, the most beloved character in Barry's nationally syndicated comic strip, 'Ernie Pook's Comeek.' Way back in the mid-1980s, Barry introduced the character of Marlys Mullen, her crazy groovy teenage sister Maybonne, her sensitive and strange little brother Freddie, a mother like no other, and an array of cousins and friends from the 'hood. This oversized book presents the long strange journey through puberty and life that Marlys and company have experienced. Marlys's universe and galaxy are funny, rude, disturbing, tearful . . . in short, very, very Lynda Barry.

Harley-Davidson, Marvel Invite Fans to Captain America: Winter Soldier Hollywood Premiere
Harley-Davidson and Marvel LLC hosted a surprise, one hour "for the fans" engagement at Marvel's Captain America: The Winter Soldier movie premiere in Hollywood March 13, following the close of the red carpet. Fans at the event were spontaneously selected to walk and experience the official red carpet and to check out a brand new Street 750 motorcycle along with the stars of the film, who autographed the bike for charity.
In its continued partnership with Marvel Comics, Harley-Davidson's presence at the premiere included six Harley-Davidson motorcycles along the red carpet, where fans took pictures and interacted with actor and musician, Tyler Posey, the official Harley-Davidson commentator and host.
Captain America has been riding Harley-Davidson motorcycles since his introduction in 1941, and the latest chapter of the film saga is no different. This time, the superhero revs up a new Harley-Davidson Street 750 motorcycle when he returns to the screen to battle dark forces April 4, 2014.
To commemorate the premiere, the company donated the autographed Street 750 motorcycle to Captain America: The Winter Soldier star Chris Evans to award to his charity of choice. Celebrities and influencers alike autographed the bike before heading into the premiere.
Harley-Davidson made its appearance at the premiere by enlisting a select group of special S.H.I.E.L.D agents to ride the motorcycles to the red carpet as the media arrived.

I am happy to be living at a sanctuary now!
Foster Update 8/6/13
Hi! I'm Jack Daniels, and I'm currently being housed at a foster home. My rabbitude has improved dramatically with being out of a cage and into a place with some space. I am definitely designed to be a free-range bunny with the freedom to roam. Fortunately, this won't be hard for you to let me do because I have really good litterbox habits and non-chewing manners. I'm way too busy being curious and walking around to bother eating furniture or having accidents! (Of course, you should still bunny-proof things, but I'm just letting you know, I'm way better behaved than some of the other bunnies my foster moms have known).
I'm still a little cage (okay, or x-pen) protective - I just like my stuff how I like it. I don't know why my foster moms have to move my toys around. I now have free reign of a whole room in my foster home, and that has decreased my fussiness. I am most excited when I get to leave my room and explore other rooms, too, but for now they're only letting me do that with supervision. I am loving that I get attention and I'm learning how to approach people appropriately for some cuddle time. My foster family thinks I must not have been socialized well in my previous home. They keep describing me as an ADHD bunny - not because I'm hyper, but because I'm always on the alert, and I notice everything. I love to cuddle and relax, but as soon as I hear a noise, like a refrigerator opening or someone talking on TV, I am on the alert again, just in case. It must go with my love of exploring - I like to know where everything is and what is happening all the time! My ears do this super cool radar rotation that makes my foster moms laugh.
And, if looks are important to you, I have a really unique and beautiful patterning to my coat. I look sort of like a piece of wood - I have whorls and circles that make me look like a beautiful (& really soft) bunny sculpture.
Hi y'all!
I'm a neutered boy with lots of energy! I'm quite the scamp and love trying to find some mischief to get into. I also have some rabbititude and will make you work for my love and respect. However, you find that a little effort goes a long way with me.
Now don't get me wrong, I'm not the type of bunny to go around with gangs of wild hares, but I do love toys and need room to play and jump and entertain you with all of my acrobatic skills.I love my freedom and space to run (indoor , bunny -proofed only)
Come on by, and I'll show you my southern hoppitality!
Gorgeous hand-gilded frame with free form tempered glass and found objects mosaic. The story is one of freedom---breaking our of out patterns to rejoice and enjoy what life has to offer-right now.

Domestic Violence Awareness Wristbands
Raise Awareness of Domestic Violence with Bracelets
By wearing a purple wristband with a message against domestic violence, you're showing support for victims of domestic violence and letting them know that help and support are available to them. Messages such as "End the Silence," "You're Not Alone," or "Strength, Courage, Hope" can provide encouragement and support. You can also create custom made wristbands with your own message directed at someone specific or in general to all victims of domestic violence.

Domestic violence is a social epidemic that affects close to a million people each year.
