AUTHOR: MGM - (United States of America)
SUBMITTED: Thursday, December 23, 2010POSTED: Thursday, December 23, 2010
Unfortunately my story is the same almost word for word. I placed my order on 11/30. After no shipping information was rec'd., I e-mailed the company. On 12/10, I received an e-mail saying that my order had shipped and I would receive in 4 to 8 business days. I e-mailed the company again to say I still haven't received my order and would like a refund. I still haven't received a response.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

Children's Health
An Overview of Meningococcal Meningitis
In this article
What's the Treatment for Meningococcal Meningitis?
Meningococcal meningitis can cause death or serious complications, such as brain damage, paralysis, gangrene, or deafness. To prevent these problems, it's important to act quickly. Do not wait. Seek immediate medical attention. Go to an emergency room or call 911 if:
- You notice symptoms of meningococcal meningitis
- Symptoms do not improve with treatment
- You think you have been exposed to meningococcal meningitis
Tests can confirm a diagnosis of meningococcal meningitis. The doctor may start antibiotics, such as penicillin or ceftriaxone, by an IV, or intravenous line. You or your child may also need other medication to treat problems related to increased spinal fluid pressure. Doctors sometimes prescribe steroids.
If you or someone you love has come into close contact (via saliva or other oral secretions) with someone who has meningococcal meningitis -- such as at school, day care, work, or home -- it is very important to get antibiotics to prevent infection.
Are There Vaccines for Meningococcal Meningitis?
Meningococcal meningitis is a serious disease -- even with treatment. That's why prevention is a far better approach. The meningococcal vaccine can prevent meningitis infection. In the U.S., three types of meningococcal vaccines are used:
- Meningococcal conjugate vaccine (MCV4) -- One of these vaccines, Menactra, is approved for people ages 9 months to 55. The other, Menveo, is used in those ages 2 through 55.
- Meningococcal polysaccharide vaccine (MPSV4) -- This vaccine was approved in the 1970s and protects against most forms of meningococcal disease. This vaccine used is for people as young as 9 months and older than age 55.
- Serogroup B Meningococcal B - There are two MenB vaccines. Trumenba (MenB-FHbp) and Bexsero (MenB-4C). Both are licensed for ages 10-24 but can be used in older patients.
Although they cannot prevent all types of meningococcal disease, both vaccines can prevent many types of the disease. Both are effective in nine out of 10 people. MCV4 tends to give longer protection and is better at preventing transmission of the disease.
Doctors recommend a dose of MCV4, which is given as a shot, for children at age 11, and then a booster shot at age 16. If the first dose is missed, the MCV4 can be administered between ages 13 and 15, followed by a booster dose between ages 16 and 18. Other people at risk should also consider getting a vaccine. That includes:
- People who think they've been exposed to meningococcal meningitis
- College freshmen living in dorms
- U.S. military recruits
- Travelers to areas of the world, such as Africa, where meningococcal disease is common
- People with a damaged spleen or with terminal complement component deficiency, which is an immune system disorder
- Lab personnel who are often exposed to the meningococcal bacteria

At the Front Page in Ballston, politics are often front and center and that's the case when talk turns to the race for Virginia governor, which is already getting ugly.
"I want the ads to be nasty," says Ralph Davis. "Let's get into it."
Davis, a republican from Springfield, is looking forward to mudslinging.
"Just brings it all out. Brings out the character in people," he says.
Greg Morris, a democrat from Arlington, may not like it, but he expects it.
"Ugly. It's just politics, come on. They're all ugly at some point," he says.
Republican Ken Cuccinelli is hitting hard on democrat Terry McAuliffe's failed venture leading Greentech, an electric car company. Monday, Cuccinelli released his first television ad of the campaign, his wife Tiero focusing on family and compassion.
"Virginia deserves a governor who is experienced, principled, and honest," Tiero says in the ad.
Virginia democrats say that's not true and are now calling on Cuccinelli to resign as attorney general after revealing he failed to disclose thousands of dollars in gifts from supporter Jonnie Williams, the same supporter who paid the catering bill at the wedding of Governor Bob McDonnell's daughter.
"This race has become one of the nastiest Virginia governor's races ever and it's only April," says national political reporter James Hohmann of POLITICO.
Hohmann says the lack of enthusiasm for both candidates will turn this into a race to the bottom.
"Both sides are depending on driving up the negatives for the other," Hohmann says.

Just now, I wanted to search for threads that have "showcase" as a tag. But there's no visible function to do so. I'm sure the staff isn't going to work on that now. But is it on the roadmap? Speaking of "on the roadmap", is GD.Net Showcase ever coming back? Or has that been scrapped?

I was informed that I needed to send in a copy of the cancelled check that I had written to Satellite Dogs. I did, but I thought it was an over the top request, since I sent them copies of all the Satellite Dogs paperwork that had been marked "Paid" by the installation technician. Now it is over seven months since I ordered the Direct TV service, and when I call asking about my rebate, the customer service person rudely tells me it was void, and when I ask to speak to a supervisor, I am sent to an answering machine to leave messages that no one responds to. I am really angry, and feel like I have been taken advantage of.
I ONLY chose Direct TV service because of this rebate!! I wouldn't recommend this company because of this fraudulent rebate that they used to get me to sign a one-year contract with, as well as the incredible rudeness and disrespect their customer service people have shown me.

I was concerned enough about how Jim handled situations that I got to the barn at 6:30 am the morning the transporters were picking up the horses. Because I didn't trust Browning, I felt it important to get to the barn 4 hours before pick up. When I arrived to the barn our 3 horses were in the round pen. The horse we purchased from Browning was in a smaller make-shift round pen in the middle of the larger one. I went to the horse and saw that the horse in the smaller pen was clearly drugged! His behavior was uncharacteristic of normal, dragging his feet and almost falling off his feet. When I approached Browning he said the horse was fine and would get either Bute or another med to give him. I did not allow Browning to give the horse drugs of any kind. When I approached him about food and water for the horses he became irate saying some not so nice things about my wife. When I didn't back down he suggested a gun would solve the issue. I informed him he could meet me in the arena if he needed the gun to be brave bring it. When the haulers arrived they took a look at the horse and confirmed he was definitely drugged. The horse bounced back very well and by the next morning he was back to his self. I am confident Browning had every intention of giving the horse another shot to kill him. When I didn't let Browning have access to him, Browning became angry. This is a BAD man! He needs to go back to prison!

County to Set Policy on Delinquent Property Taxes
Published: Friday, February 15, 2013 at 11:59 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, February 15, 2013 at 11:59 p.m.
BARTOW | If you live in a house Polk County has taken over because the property taxes are delinquent, you had better read this.
On Tuesday, the County Commission is scheduled to approve a policy for how to dispose of properties like this.
"This is happening so often that we needed a policy," County Manager Jim Freeman told commissioners during an agenda study session Friday.
The properties end up in Polk County's hands through a process called tax escheatment. That means when taxes are delinquent and no one else wants to take the property, it is deeded to the county.
Private investors are avoiding many of these properties because of the cost of taxes and liens that have accumulated on them, Freeman said.
In the past, most of these were often small, vacant parcels, but increasingly they are parcels with homes in which someone is living.
County officials tie this to current recession.
"We've got 120 of these properties coming in within the next 18 months, and 20 or 30 of them contain structures," said Wade Allen, the county's right-of-way agent, who keeps track of the county's property holdings.
Many of them are in Poinciana and Indian Lake Estates, he said.
The main feature of the policy is that it sets out a procedure to evict people from the property so it can be disposed of.
County Attorney Michael Craig said the policy allows for some discretion in extraordinary circumstances, such as the owner's extreme poverty.

Did not honor refund policy as stated on the receipt. I ordered on Aug 29, sent in my notice of cancellation on Aug 30, and did not receive a refund as of yet. The receipt states that the buyer may cancel within 3 days. I filled out the notice of cancellation that is on the back of the receipt. I ordered 2 magazine subscriptions for a total of $121 (I paid in full in cash). The salesperson was Brittany (did not get a last name). I paid in cash because the salesperson said "it would give her double points". Either the salesperson ripped me off because I paid cash, or the company is ripping me off because I paid cash. I tried contacting the number on the receipt to no avail.

I am proposing a panel that centers on the material realities of the flows, negotiations, and exchanges between the "public" space of political economies/markets and the "private" space of domestic economies/ecologies. Broadly, this panel is focused on the impacts of the exchanges between the two spaces, how they bleed into each other, and ultimately to, in the words of the conference theme, to make "a claim on the way where we are shapes and shakes up the grounding and grounded-ness of the work we imagine, make, perceive, and do."

Title: Algorithmic correspondence and canonicity for non-distributive logics
Abstract: Since the 1970s, correspondence theory has been one of the most important items in the toolkit of modal logicians. Unified correspondence [6] is a very recent approach, which has imported techniques from duality, algebra and formal topology [10] and exported the state of the art of correspondence theory well beyond normal modal logic, to a wide range of logics including, among others, intuitionistic and distributive lattice-based (normal modal) logics [8], non-normal (regular) modal logics [17], substructural logics [9, 7, 5], hybrid logics [13], and mu-calculus [2, 4, 3].
The breadth of this work has stimulated many and varied applications. Some are closely related to the core concerns of the theory itself, such as the understanding of the relationship between different methodologies for obtaining canonicity results [16, 7], or of the phenomenon of pseudo-correspondence [11]. Other, possibly surprising applications include the dual characterizations of classes of finite lattices [14], the identification of the syntactic shape of axioms which can be translated into analytic rules of a proper display calculus [15], and the design of display-type calculi for the logics of capabilities and resources, and their applications to the logical modelling of business organizations [1]. Finally, the insights of unified correspondence theory have made it possible to determine the extent to which the Sahlqvist theory of classes of normal DLEs can be reduced to the Sahlqvist theory of normal Boolean expansions, by means of Gödel-type translations [12]. It is interesting to observe that, through the development of applications such as [16, 15, 11], the algorithm ALBA acquires novel conceptual significance, which cannot be reduced exclusively to its original purpose as a computational tool for correspondence theory.
The most important technical tools in unified correspondence are: (a) a very general syntactic definition of the class of Sahlqvist formulas, which applies uniformly to each logical signature and is given purely in terms of the order-theoretic properties of the algebraic interpretations of the logical connectives; (b) the algorithm ALBA, which effectively computes first-order correspondents of input term-inequalities, and is guaranteed to succeed on a wide class of inequalities (the so-called inductive inequalities) which, like the Sahlqvist class, can be defined uniformly in each mentioned signature, and which properly and significantly extends the Sahlqvist class.
In this talk, these technical tools will be illustrated in the setting of normal lattice expansions [9]. Time permitting, constructive canonicity will be also discussed [7, 3], as well as the epistemic interpretation of modalities on RS-frames [5].

Title: Geometry in the Dark Ages
Abstract: Isidore's Etymologies enjoyed a wide audience during the medieval period. We examine the structure of mathematics, as it is described in the Etymologies, and we discuss the sources on which Isidore relied when he collected his etymological definitions. We remark that for Isidore, mathematics is described as ``the science of learning, and among his sources there have been the classical Greek authors, most likely available in Boethius' and Cassiodorus' Latin translations performed in the early 6th century. These translations are today lost. That's why the authors writing in the middle ages had to start from scratch in many of their investigations. We will illustrate this idea with one example, namely the discovery of curvature. In a paper published in 1952, J. L. Coolidge points out that ``the first writer to give a hint of the definition of curvature was the fourteenth century writer Nicolas Oresme". Coolidge writes further: ``Oresme conceived the curvature of a circle as inversely proportional to the radius; how did he find this out?" Tractatus de configurationibus qualitatum et motuum, written by Orseme sometime between 1351 and 1355, contains the key.

Title: From the Kochen-Specker theorem to robust noncontextuality inequalities
Abstract: Published in 1967, the Kochen-Specker theorem shows that quantum measurements do not simply reveal pre-existing values (satisfying a natural requirement). A different result along these lines, Bell's theorem, has had a much larger impact on quantum information. I will argue that this is because Bell's theorem has a clear operational meaning, independent of the quantum formalism and directly relevant to experiment. This is the motivation for various attempts to "operationalize" the Kochen-Specker theorem, and I will describe the approach to this I find most compelling. To the extent that this operationalization has succeeded, the audience should not require any knowledge of quantum theory to understand it!

Title: A general algebraic approach to dualities
Abstract: In this talk I will show how several dualities in mathematics e.g., the ones of Gelfand, Pontryagin, Stone, etc. can be seen as the manifestation of a general framework in which one develops the algebraic geometry of structures different from fields. This is a joint work with O. Caramello (University Paris Diderot) and V. Marra (University of Milan).

Title: Applications of the monogenic signal processing to radiological images
Abstract: Medical ultrasonography imaging for nodule detection is a non-invasive diagnostic test, which combines low cost, short acquisition time, and sensitivity to the number and size of abnormal nodules. However, a chief problem is that ultrasound images have low contrast, making it hard for the experts to interpret and classify the nodules detected. In this talk we discuss techniques based on the concepts of monogenic signal which aims to enhance the edges of abnormalities. Hereby, we use a combination of Riesz transforms and monogenic curvelets in order to determine the phase and phase angle of a given image. Riesz transforms have remarkable properties: they are shift- and scale-invariant, preserve $L^2$ inner-product, and are steerable. Based on this approach, one is able to determine size and position of abnormalities present in images.

Title: Compressed sensing for quaternionic representation of color images
Abstract: In the last decade a new paradigm has taken hold in signal and image processing: compressed sensing. The possibility of reconstructing a signal by only a few measurements under the condition that the representation in a given basis or frame is sparse has allowed to look at new methods and algorithms. Although sparsity constraints are directly connected only with non-convex optimization the uniqueness property shown by Candes, Rhomberg, and Tao allows the application of simple convex algorithms, such as linear programming. In parallel, during the last 15 years quaternion-valued functions have been used to represent color images, in particular RGB images. Hereby, representations using the discrete and continuous quaternionic Fourier transforms play a particular important role. In this talk we will show that it is possible to combine both approaches, i.e. to use sparse sampling methods in the quaternionic representation of color images. This is a priori not so evident due to the non-commutative structure of the quaternions. For instance, it is not clear that quaternionic sampling matrices will fulfil the RIP condition as the traditional condition for compressed sensing. Therefore, we intend to go back to the origins of compressed sensing and follow the original approach by Rauhut to show that quaternionic color images allow sparse reconstruction by means of an $l_1$-minimization with high probability.

Title: Violating a Hybrid Bell-Leggett-Garg Inequality with Weak Quantum Measurements
Abstract: We discuss both the theoretical background and the experimental violation of a hybrid Bell-Leggett-Garg inequality using four superconducting Xmon qubits. The algorithm uses sequential weak measurements of a Bell state in the form of high-fidelity partial projections, realized by entangling an ancilla qubit to each data qubit using a controlled-Z two-qubit gate. After calibration of the ancilla readout, these partial projections indirectly measure qubit expectation values with a tunable amount of state disturbance. For sufficiently weak disturbance, the hybrid inequality can be violated using all data prepared in a single experimental configuration, thus avoiding both the fair sampling and the disjoint sampling loopholes that often appear in traditional Bell inequality implementations.

Title: Quantum Logic and Structure
Abstract: This talk presents logics for reasoning about properties of quantum systems and quantum algorithms. One logic, developed by Birkhoff and von Neumann, is used to reason about testable properties of a quantum system; the formal setting is the Hilbert lattice (the lattice of closed subspaces of a Hilbert space). Another logic is the logic of quantum actions, developed more recently to reason about the dynamics of a quantum system; the formal setting here is a quantum dynamic frame, a kind of labelled transition system often used in computer science to reason about classical programs. This talk also explains how these settings are essentially the same via a categorical duality between the lattices and the frames, and how a decidable probabilistic extension of the logic of quantum actions can be used to reason about quantum algorithms such as Grover's search algorithm.

Title: The Mercurial Tale of Spherical Trigonometry
Abstract: The trigonometry we see in high school is merely a pale reflection of the creative, exciting subject that students learned only decades ago. Born of the desire to predict the motions of the heavenly bodies, the trigonometry of ancient astronomers took place not on a flat sheet of paper, but on the celestial sphere. This led to a theory with some of the most beautiful results in all of mathematics, and applications that led to the birth of major modern developments like symbolic algebra and logarithms. Until the subject dropped off radar screens after World War II, it continued to enjoy vitality through applications in navigation and crystallography. The mathematical path we now travel through high school and college, heavily emphasizing calculus, unfortunately has deprived students of other mathematical gems. In this talk, we shall polish some of the tarnish off one of the brightest of those jewels.

Title: A tour of Noncommutative Metric Geometry
Abstract: This talk will be an introduction to the area of Noncommutative Metric Geometry. We will start with discussing deformation quantization: the history and observations that motivate our continued interest. We will then shift gears slightly and discuss some results of Connes and Rieffel in Noncommutative Geometry that lead to Quantum (Compact) Metric Spaces and quickly introduce a few nontrivial objects in this category. Then we will end with the work of Latremoliere in establishing a metric on the category of Quantum Compact Metric Spaces.

Title: The Frobenius determinant theorem and applications.
Abstract: In this first talk, we will discuss the celebrated determinant Frobenius theorem and how it arised naturally in the study of a hierarchy of hypersurfaces, of partial differential operators and metrics.
The first elements of this hierarchy are the cubic $x^3 + y ^3 + z^3 - 3xyz = 1$ (so called Jonas hexenhut) and the partial differential operator $\Delta_3 = \frac{\delta^3}{\delta_{x^3}} + \frac{\delta^3}{\delta_{y^3}} + \frac{\delta^3}{\delta_{z^3}} -3 \frac{\delta^3}{\delta_x \delta_y \delta_z}$, introduced by P.Humbert in 1929 in another context. We explain why this operator is a good extension to ${\rm I\!R}^3$ of the Laplacian in two dimensions $\Delta_2 = \frac{\delta^2}{\delta_{x^2}} + \frac{\delta^2}{\delta_{y^2}}$ We discuss its links with Spectral theory, Elliptic functions, number theory and a sort of Finsler geometry.

Title: Composite Quantum Gates with Aharanov–Anandan phases.
Abstract: Unitary operations acting on a quantum system must be robust against systematic errors in control parameters for reliable quantum computing. Composite pulse technique in nuclear magnetic resonance realizes such a robust operation by employing a sequence of possibly poor-quality pulses. We show that composite pulses that compensate for a pulse length error in a one-qubit system have a vanishing dynamical phase and thereby can be seen as geometric quantum gates with Aharanov-Anandan phases.

Title: Pointfree Pointwise Suprema in Unital Archimedean L-Groups (joint work with Anthony W. Hager, Wesleyan University, and Joanne Walters-Wayland, Chapman University)
Abstract: When considering the suprema of real-valued functions, it is often important to know whether this supremum coincides with the function obtained by taking the supremum of the real values at each point. It is therefore ironic, if not surprising, that the fundamental importance of pointwise suprema emerges only when the ideas are placed in the pointfree context.
For in that context, namely in $\mathcal{R}L$, the archimedean $\ell$-group of continuous real valued functions on a locale $L$, the concept of pointfree supremum admits a direct and intuitive formulation which makes no mention of points. The surprise is that pointwise suprema can be characterized purely algebraically, without reference to a representation in some $\mathcal{R}L$. For the pointwise suprema are precisely those which are context-free, in the sense of being preserved by every $W$-morphism out of $G$.
(The algebraic setting is the category $W$ of archimedean lattice-ordered groups (`$\ell$-groups) with designated weak order unit, with morphisms which preserve the group and lattice operations and take units to units. This is an appropriate context for this investigation because every $W$-object can be canonically represented as a subobject of some $\mathcal{R}L$.)
Completeness properties of $\mathcal{C}X$ with respect to (various types of) bounded suprema are equivalent to (various types of) disconnectivity properties of $X$. These are the classical Nakano-Stone theorems, and their pointfree analogs for $\mathcal{R}L$ are the work of Banaschewski and Hong. We show that every bounded (countable) subset of $\mathcal{R}^+L$ has a join in $\mathcal{R}L$ iff $L$ is boolean (a $P$-frame). More is true: every existing bounded (countable) join of an arbitrary $W$-object $G$ is pointwise iff the Madden frame $\mathcal{M}G$ is boolean (a $P$-frame).
Perhaps the most important attribute of pointwise suprema is that density with respect to pointwise convergence detects epicity. We elaborate. Of central importance to the theory of $W$ is its smallest full monoreflective subcategory $\beta{}W$, comprised of the objects having no proper epic extensions. That means each $W$-object $G$ has a largest epic extension $G \to \beta G$, and this extension is functorial. It turns out that a $W$-extension $A \leq B$ is epic iff $A$ is pointwise dense in $B$. Thus the epireflective hull $\beta G$ of an arbitrary $W$-object $G$ can be constructed by means of pointwise Cauchy filters.

Title: Fourier transforms in commutative and non-commutative multicomplex settings
Abstract: This seminar addresses the generalization of the classical Fourier transform to multicomplex settings. Inspired by a successful case study on the slices of the non-commutative Clifford algebra $Cl_{m+1}$, a more conceptual approach to the matter is established. Using operator relations, we construct a general background that allows to create Fourier analogues in more general non-commutative as well as commutative settings. Finally we illustrate this claim and the underlying line of thoughts by setting up a Fourier transform for the bicomplex numbers which turns out to be in accordance to our expectations. The framework uses concepts of both analysis and algebra, with key roles for the Mehler formula and the Hille-Hardy formula.

Title: Polytope Bounds on Multivariate Value Sets
Abstract: Over finite fields, if the image of a polynomial map is not the entire field, then its cardinality can be bounded above by a significantly smaller value. Earlier results bound the cardinality of the value set using the degree of the polynomial. However, these bounds can be improved significantly if our bounds depend on the powers of all monomials in a polynomial map, rather than just the one with the highest degree. The Newton polytope of a polynomial map is one such object constructed by each of these monomials, and its geometry provides sharp upper bounds on the cardinality of the value set. In this talk, we will explore the geometric properties of the Newton polytope and show how allows for an improvement on the upper bounds of the multivariate value set.

Title: Linear combination interpolation, Cuntz relations and infinite products (joint work with I. Lewkowicz, P. Jorgensen and D. Volok)
Abstract: Calculating observable quantities in QCD at low energies requires a non-perturbative approach. Lattice QCD is a non-perturbative solution which quantities can be estimates using Monte Carlo methods. However many quantities such as multi-hadron operators require large amounts of computational power to compute. Using the stochastic LapH method the costly matrix inverses required are estimated rather than computed exactly drastically reducing the computational costs. These modern computation techniques allow for the computation of a large number of operators including multi-hadron operators. Results of the spectrum of energies for the lowest 50 bound states in a finite box are presented for the rho-meson channel.

Title: Linear combination interpolation, Cuntz relations and infinite products (joint work with I. Lewkowicz, P. Jorgensen and D. Volok)
Abstract: We introduce the following linear combination interpolation problem: Given $N$ distinct numbers $w_1,..., w_N$ and $N+1$ complex numbers $a_1,..., a_N $and $c$, find all functions f(z) analytic in a simply connected set (depending on f) containing the points $w_1,...,w_N$ such that $\sum_{u=1}^N a_u f(w_u)=c$. To this end we prove a representation theorem for such functions f in terms of an associated polynomial p(z). We first introduce the following two operations, substitution of p, and multiplication by monomials $z^j$ , $0<= j < N$. Then let M be the module generated by these two operations, acting on functions analytic near 0. We prove that every function f, analytic in a neighborhood of the roots of p , is in M. In fact, this representation of f is unique. To solve the above interpolation problem, we employ an adapted systems theoretic realization, as well as an associated representation of the Cuntz relations (from multi-variable operator theory.) We study these operations in reproducing kernel Hilbert space): We give necessary and sufficient condition for existence of realizations of these representation of the Cuntz relations by operators in certain reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces, and offer infinite product factorizations of the corresponding kernels.

$s_{2n} = s_{n}, n \geq 1; s_{2n+1} = (-1)^{n}, n \geq 0 $
or equivalently
$s_{n} = (-1)^{b} $ if $n=2^a(1+2b); a,b \in \mathbf{N}$
We explain how it is related to paperfolding and we give a precise analysis at $x = 1$ of the power series
$f(x) = \sum s_n x^n$

Title: Two notions of mirror symmetry for certain K3 surfaces
Abstract: In the mid-1990s, the physicists Berglund and Hubsch proposed a way to construct a ``mirror partner for certain kinds of Calabi-Yau manifolds. When the manifold has (complex) dimension 2, these are examples of K3 surfaces. Around the same time, Dolgachev and others conceived of a version of mirror symmetry that applies to more general families of K3 surfaces. In this talk, we will introduce these special kinds of K3 surfaces, which are defined as hypersurfaces in weighted projective space. Then we will discuss the issue of compatibility between the aforementioned versions of mirror symmetry. While the question is open in general, we will highlight a particular collection of surfaces where the compatibility can be proved. This is joint work with Paola Comparin, Nathan Priddis, and Rachel Webb.

Title: Equivariant functions
Abstract: An equivariant function is a special meromorphic function on the Poincare upper half-plane. A concrete non trivial example was given by Don Zagier answering a question of the physicist Werner Nahm. We show how to construct all the equivariant functions by using ideas from complex analysis, modular forms and projective differential geometry. The talk is based on a joint work with Abdellah Sebbar from The university of Ottawa.

StorySet at a maximum security psychiatric asylum outside London in the summer of 1959, this is the story of the wife, Stella (Richardson), of a psychiatrist who has recently moved there with her husband, Max (Bonneville), who is the new superintendent. We see their story unfold through the eyes of Dr. Peter Cleave (McKellen), one of the institute's psychiatrists. Stella soon finds herself falling in love with one of the asylum's patients, Edgar Stark (Csokas), a talented sculptor convicted of the disfigurement and murder of his own wife, who is working on the restoration of the asylum's dilapidated Victorian Era conservatory, which is right behind Stella and Max's house.
