An fMRI investigation of the shopper brainWhen building your brand, you often have clear goals: communicate clear benefits, key values and get the personality of the brand across. What is it that makes you credible and stand out? Basic questions we all try to address before talking to our audience.
At Alpha.One we help good companies make better decisions. We do this by combining fMRI, EEG, eyetracking and implicit association tests with deep learning tools. Our key goal: measuring how people respond to marketing stimuli. These can be various types of media such as; videos, logos, packaging, in-store communication, or an online environment. In the current project we analyzed how the brain responds to different types of retail environments.
We root all our work in science and therefore work in partnership with the Rotterdam School of Management at the Erasmus University. This ranges from building standard tools to custom research designs. We use these tools to align brand strategy and creative concepts and measure what goes on in the minds of your audience. We have a high regard for the creative process and our aim is to substantiate and improve its impact. In his particular case we showed that brain measures reveal insights that are otherwise not obtainable.
Our clients were interested in better understanding the success of so-called discounters. In these stores we typically see products in cardboard boxes, a limited number of products per category, narrow aisles and simple lighting. In the past years, retailers who have taken this more stripped-down, utilitarian approach have seen a steady growth in their market share.
This utilitarian approach is the opposite of what we would call a more hedonic approach. The more hedonic retailer creates a comfortable and rewarding shopper experience. With wider aisles, specific lighting per product category, more staff, and plenty of choice per category. In the present study we used functional MRI (fMRI) to answer two central questions:
1. Does investing in a shopper experience lead to increased buying impulse? We tested this by measuring activity in regions of the brain associated with buying impulse and perception of value.
2. Do utilitarian and hedonic shoppers differ in brain response to the different shopping environments? For instance, do utilitarian environments evoke specific responses in utilitarian shoppers?
fMRI protocol
For the study we invited 30 shoppers to take part in a brain scanning session. We carefully selected 15 shoppers who describe themselves as a hedonic and 15 who typically shop at a utilitarian style retailer.
During scanning the participants were shown pictures of utilitarian and hedonic environments. We monitored activity in three regions in the brain. To understand how the brain responded in terms of value, we focused on activity in the orbitofrontal cortex (OFC). We label activity in this part of the brain as "anticipated value". Activation in this region is related to buying impulse and motivation. In addition, we also looked at activity in the nucleus accumbens (NAcc), the brain's primary "reward center". Finally, we wanted to understand whether consumers experienced withdrawal or aversion in response to the pictures. Therefore, activity in the anterior insula (AI) was examined.
1. Brain activity in response to hedonic style retail increased compared with the discount approachmainly in regions associated with perception of value and buying impulse (OFC). This result shows that it pays-off to invest in the shopper experience. The responses from the brain demonstrate that a hedonic style leads to increased reward processing in the brain. Predominantly in areas associated with increased desire and willingness to pay
2. Brain responses from the typical utilitarian shopper increased in the NAcc when pictures were shown of a utilitarian retail environment compared with the hedonic environment. This second result shows that impulse buying was actually increased in a subset of shoppers when they were presented with cardboard display boxes, cheap lighting and limited offers per category. We believe this effect occurs because a utilitarian environment signals "cheap" through associations. This result is intriguing; it suggests that - at least for a subset of shoppers - not investing in the shopper experience actually increases buying impulse.
3. Brain responses from the typical hedonic shopper showed an aversive response to pictures of utilitarian environments, as measured in the anterior insula. The last result demonstrates that for the shopper with a preference for hedonic retailers, the
cardboard boxes, cheap lighting and limited offers, reduces perceived value and buying impulse. And. Additionally, it actually triggers an aversive response.
In figure 1 you can find the results for the split group effects. On the x-axis we plotted the activity in the nucleus accumbens (reward processing, impulse). The y-axis shows the activity in the orbitofrontal cortex (reward processing, perceived value, anticipated value).
Figure 1.
What's intriguing about the study is that for certain shoppers, a hedonic style retail environment actually seems to reduce their buying impulse. This finding is somewhat counter intuitive. Our interpretation is that shoppers who describe themselves as utilitarian have built associations over time. The associations they activate in response to viewing products in cardboard boxes, cheap lighting etc., evoke a mindset that worries less about pricing. In contrast, the hedonic shopper experience itself could activate a mindset that includes worrying about prices and less impulsivity. Overall, the study results show that investing in the shopper experience does result in increased impulse and perceived value.
Figure 2.
The future
Our clients use our EEG, fMRI and eye-tracking tools to analyze and optimize their dynamic stimuli. These can be different formats such as video, commercials and shopping environments. We have already developed a machine-generated eye-tracking tool. This Artificial Intelligence algorithm simulates human eye-tracking results with good accuracy. Based on this we are developing an even more accurate algorithm which is trained only for retail environments and shelf planning. This means that we will not need to test actual respondents in the lab anymore, making it less expensive and time consuming. In such a way, we can provide a more economic and scalable solution. Ultimately, using Artificial Intelligence for our tools will make eye-tracking studies 100 times cheaper and faster. We look forward to showcasing this progress in the next yearbook. In the meantime, we are working on multiple peerreviewed articles on consumer neuroscience. We have committed ourselves to validating our work through the scientifi c community. This is a critical step in advancing business and consumer neuroscience at the same time.

This week marks the very first time in a LONG time that I'm not involved in academics. What do I mean? It's the summer semester and I'm not taking a class, doing an internship, writing a dissertation, or teaching. I don't have to "ready" my study at home for another round of work.
After zeeeero break between the dissertation and taking on a ridiculous teaching position in the spring, I'm left with a sense of emptiness. Yes, I've heard of people becoming depressed after finishing their dissertations. I never had that happen, probably because I never took a break. I work at a university and I started teaching right away. It really didn't seem like a big deal to finish.
Now I'm faced with all of this free time. I don't have anything to stress about anymore. No more lesson plans or papers to grade. I'm not doing ANYTHING this summer. Fall, well, that's a different story. But for now, I have four months of nothing to do when I get home at night from work. What am I going to do during the weekends now?!
This brings me to my bigger point. Who am I? If I'm not a student anymore, and I'm not sucked up with class responsibilities, then how do I define myself? I've been a student for 16 years. Time to decide who I want to be now. In the present.
What do you do when a major part of your identity is gone? Do you replace it with something else immediately or do you allow yourself to discover the new you? This is what I'm struggling with, people.
I can't even come up with ways to describe myself without talking about school. How sad is that?
So here I am, on the cusp of an existential crisis. Excited to discover the new me but scared that I've forgotten the old me in the process.
I hope I don't become someone completely different. I hope people don't tell me they like me better now. I hope I can be a better version of myself. That's it.
Here's to the summer.

With the weather being uncooperative... Danny's been slacking. We were able to get out of the driveway so I took both boys to Ashland figuring they both needed to work. I did Dan first and since I was running a bit short on time, opted to lunge him in the ring. The footing was phenomenal there and I was a little worried about the footing in the woods and XC course.
Danny was pretty good. He's lost a little bit of his responsiveness to the stop and go the other way cue. He's also a bit pokey picking up the canter when I ask, but he's got walk/trot down. We had some good work and then I decided to take pictures. I had to take one glove off and hold the phone in one hand. He was really good. At first! Then he realized I guess, and bolted. I managed to hang on briefly, which resulted in me being pulled forward and then belly flopping on the ground. Ugh... It didn't hurt but I pulled my butt muscle and got a bit of rope burn on my hand. He ran back to the trailer and ate 2 apples. Twit!
I got him back into the ring and we went back to work. He behaved this time. :) Then we were done and headed back to the ring.
But... here's the pictures I got. :)
and yes... he has kicked himself in the face before....
Oh, and then I made him pose in the snow for pictures!

NEW! Standards & GuidanceTranslations
In his blog, IIA President and CEO Richard Chambers, CIA, QIAL, CGAP, CCSA, CRMA, shares his personal reflections and insights on the internal audit profession. Here's an excerpt from his latest post:
We kick off the 2019 General Audit Management (GAM) conference today in Dallas-Fort Worth with more than 1,200 in attendance either in person or through our new livestream offering. As always, the event is packed with informative sessions on issues and trends crucial to internal audit executives. In fact, the first general session this morning (at 9:15 a.m. Central Time) will be an in-depth conversation I am having with U.S. Securities and Exchange Commissioner Hester Peirce. GAM is also where the Internal Audit Foundation will officially unveil my latest book, The Speed of Risk. It's an update to my first book, Lessons Learned on the Audit Trail, published in 2014.
I'm proud of the work that went into this new book, and appreciative of those who helped me pull it together. As they say, it takes a village, even for one book. You might be asking at this point, "What's new?" If you'll indulge me for a moment, I encourage you to read the following preview from the book's first chapter, "There Are No Speed Limits on the Audit Trail," to understand why I felt the need to embark on yet another journey of research and long hours of writing to share new lessons — and elaborate on still relevant ones from the first edition — with readers.

Communication and Language
The classroom is a language rich environment in which the children thrive. They are encouraged to speak and listen during every lesson with their designated 'Talk Partner', or simply the person next to them. They communicate as they investigate and problem solve and they develop confidence and skills in expressing themselves, which extends their social skills.
There are 'Show and Share' opportunities and the children are always encouraged to bring in artefacts from home related to the learning, to then talk about in front of the class. Teachers model excellent language and encourage children to express their thoughts and ideas through conversation, role-play and Circle Time.

Have taken this lovely story from parkrun Ireland not only because it's amazing, but there is also a New Zealand link with Hagley parkrun!
"Meet as strangers and leave as friends" is an apt expression that has been attributed to the parkrun experience. One family already with close bonds were pleasantly surprised to realise an even closer affinity as a result of their involvement in parkrun.
Large families are not uncommon in Ireland. So, a family size of twelve children is not unusual. What is statistically remarkable is that all seven sisters, five brothers, their partners and sons and daughters are all actively involved with parkrun. It is probably not startling that parkrun should play some role in their recreational endeavours. The Coppinger family are sports fanatics. They have a background of involvement in a wide variety of sports including Gaelic football, soccer, cycling, squash, athletics and even Ironman Triathlon. They were bound to connect with parkrun somewhere along their sporting odyssey. At the latest count the Coppinger dynasty involvement with parkrun stands at two Event Directors, six Run Directors and a total of 21 direct family members who run or volunteer in parkrun each week. And, they've only just begun.
As with all newcomers their first parkrun experience was an adventure into the unknown. As Marlay parkrun is the closest to the family homestead this is the event where many of the family commenced their expedition just four years ago. Little did they know when making those tentative steps as a first timer, how profound an influence parkrun would have on their family relationships.
At that time there were only two events in all of Ireland. Having grasped the parkrun experience at Marlay, including a stint at some of the volunteer roles Aisling Coppinger and partner Rob Cummins anxiously ventured to grow parkrun. Ignorance is bliss! They undertook to head up a new event at nearby Tymon parkrun. With great encouragement from Matt Shields, Head of parkrun Ireland and reassurance from fellow Event Director Julie O'Connor of Waterstown parkrun the event quickly became a focal point of the community. Heartened by that success her brother Niall then followed suit to lead another new event at Bushy Dublin parkrun.
The family absolutely deny any sibling sporting rivalry, of course. It is true that their run times aren't compared or even the subject of conversation at their post parkrun coffee gathering. The infamous post run chat will involve lively debate over which one of them messed up in their volunteering role that day. No one will ever admit to ever dropping the finish tokens or failing to clear the barcode scanner. God help anyone who has inadvertently spelt parkrun with a capital P. Unforgivable! Once the parkrun jesting is concluded this post parkrun get together is a great opportunity to catch up on what is going on in everyone's lives.
Where things do become somewhat competitive is the duel between the Aisling's Tymon and Niall's Bushy Dublin for the assistance of family volunteers. There is a mere two kilometres between the venues and all of the family live close to either one. Siblings Declan, Martina andRegina are all now experienced Run Directors, so each week their services are earnestly haggled until final agreement on their assignment for that weekend is made late on a Friday. The guys are too diplomatic to say which setting they prefer.
The highpoint of the family calendar is the annual weekend getaway at a chosen location. Here all the brothers & sisters, their partners and sons & daughters assemble for a celebration of family. This large gathering has been a tradition proudly initiated by their now deceased parents Peggy and Gerard and has continued through the generations. Each year there is eager anticipation, particularly among the younger folk as to the choice of venue for the revelry. The criteria for choosing the venue used to just require a suitable hotel with facilities for kids activities. Now the setting must also be close to a parkrun event. So, Kilkenny parkrun and Tramore parkrun have been popular choices in recent years for the festivity.
It was only at one of those family gatherings that Jacinta, who lives in London 'confessed' to have partaken in one of the early Bushy Park Time Trial's at the original home of parkrun with her young son Conor. Barcode numbers A 447 & A850, no less! The family connection to parkrun was in fact bound long before they even realised it.
As parkurn is now an intrinsic part of the family fabric it is a pillar for family occasions. Recently Eugene celebrated his 60th birthday with a large group of this Clonliffe Harrier club mates at Malahide parkrun. All the family agree that their most memorable parkrun experience was descending upon Tramore parkrun on the morning of the wedding of Aisling (Event Director, Tymon parkrun) to Rob (Run Director, Tymon parkrun). Advance warning was given to the Tramore core volunteer team of the expected additional numbers attending. The fact that the tribe brought their volunteer conscripts with them also helped. As the bride, groom and wedding party arrived to run in their wedding attire all of the Tramore parkrunners assumed the role of the wedding party to give the happy couple a true parkrun blessing. What better way to start your married life together than holding hands across the finish line of parkrun on your wedding day. It really was the perfect start to a perfect day for all the wedding guests with memories to be cherished for life. The family were hugely appreciative of the lengths that the Tramore parkrun team went to help mark the occasion.
Volunteering at parkrun cultivates people's skills to the benefit of the wider community. This family has a wealth of skills which greatly enrich their neighbourhood. Eugene, who is on the organising committee of Dublin Marathon and is also a local Councillor in Fingal, was a huge resource to the team at River Valley parkrun by linking his combined experiences to assist the team in getting that event started. Eugene's daughter Sarah is a schoolteacher in a school for children with a diagnosis of autism and complex needs called ABACAS Kilbarrack. Sarah started a running club for the kids in 2015 with the goal of getting the children exercising in a safe environment and encouraging them to practice using their life skills in working towards a goal of completing a parkrun. This was successfully accomplished when the students, staff, family and friends all participated and celebrated graduation by completing Father Collins parkrun. Many other family members are involved in coaching across a wide variety of sporting disciplines. This knowledge is generously shared and is invaluable in encouraging and motivating other parkrunners to achieve their goals.
The Coppinger parkrun footprint has even extended across the globe. Last month when Lucy was visiting her daughter and first grandchild in New Zealand she took the opportunity to partake in Hagley parkrun, Christchurch. On that same day Declan made his way on a family holiday to San Francisco to take part in Crissy Field parkrun, – just a distance of 11,000 kilometres and 18 hours between the two. The parkrun bug is infectious because Declan was joined on that run by his daughter Niamh and he even convinced his wife Elaine to make her parkrun debut even though her only available footwear was her flip-flops. There are more exciting parkun times ahead for the clan,with Lucy in the advanced stages of setting up a junior parkrun in her local neighbourhood.
The Coppingers appreciate how parkrun has brought them closer together as a family, and there is no doubt that the future generation of parkrun is indeed secure!
A survey of more than 1500 parkrunners in New Zealand has revealed extensive support for the decision to reopen parkrun events, and overwhelming optimism about returning to parkrun this month. A staggering 97% of respondents signalled their intention to return to parkrun as walkers or runners within the first four weeks, with 65% expressing…
Since the New Zealand Government announced on 8 June that there would be no limits on public gatherings, or social distancing requirements, we have been working with event teams in preparation to reopen parkrun events this Saturday, 4 July. We'd like to thank everyone for their support and patience during this challenging and uncertain…

Is China buying up Europe? Perspectives from the Chinese media, officials and civil society (2010)Wong, Staphany
Throughout 2010, the international media has been buzzing with headlines such as "Beijing's buying up Europe", pointing out that China has been increasing its investment significantly since the European states are being hit severely by the financial crisis, one by one. Many research papers and newspapers have focused on this topic, calculated figures and written their comments, mainly from the perspectives of the host countries in Europe. Instead of repeating the hard works done by other researchers and journalists, this article intends to show the perspectives from the Chinese, from official statements, academics' viewpoints and voices of the civil society, with regard to the rising Chinese investment in Europe, to see how the discussion has been going on in China.

Global maritime charity Stella Maris (Apostleship of the Sea) is marking Day of the Seafarer by paying tribute to female seafarers and cruise ship crew members.
The charity is also highlighting the vital role its female trustees, port chaplains, head office staff and volunteers play.
This year's International Maritime Organization's (IMO) theme for Day of the Seafarer is 'I Am on Board with gender equality'.
AoS Board Member Theresa Crossley said, "The maritime sector has generally been behind the curve on gender equality, so it's great that the IMO had really picked up the baton with the 'I Am on Board with gender equality' campaign.
"But someone said to me recently: "You can't be what you don't see." In other words, women need to take up roles and responsibilities that have been traditionally the preserve of men and be visible in those roles, if we are to inspire our girls and young women for the future."

The Atmos Magna Kit Vaporizer, when you compare it to other vaporizers on the market, offers just as much, and sometimes even more but for a lower price. On top of this, you also get a single quartz atomizer for a much lower price so you know that you are getting a quality product and without having to pay out more than you have to. With this product you have a high quality titanium coil and you also have the high temperature control system as well so you know that you won't have any problems when the time comes for you to get started.
Temperature control batteries are much more popular among wax pens and they also give the user a high level of control when it comes to the heat setting as well. Wax concentrates can vary greatly depending on what type you need and it is also a great way for you to have access to the right heating level for your needs. All in all, the Atmos Magna Kit Vaporizer is unlike any other product out there, so you know that you won't have any issues there.

The Worcester School Committee meets Thursday at 7. You can find the agenda here.
We have two recognitions, including the Burncoat High Quadrivium, who are singing the National Anthem(!).
The report of the Superintendent this week is the graduation and dropout report.
We have a petition from a North High parent. I suspect that this will be taken up at the same time as the Superintendent's proposed action plan (no backup; looks like it's coming at the meeting) and Mr. O'Connell's proposed "listening session."
We have some retirements and resignations and appointments.
Ms. Ramirez would like us to consider a teacher residency program like Boston has.
Mr. O'Connell would like to recognize those that support Let's GO, WEMS.
Mr. Monfredo is announcing "February Love a Book Month."
Mr. O'Connell wants to support Chandler Elementary in pursuing a playground (?).
Mr. Monfredo wants to recognize Grace Presbyterian Church for their contributions to Chandler Magnet.
Administration wants to schedule a hearing on the IB school. They'd like to do it at our next meeting, effectively instead of our next meeting, at City Hall. Note, by the way, that we haven't gotten any additional information since our first meeting on this.
We're being asked to accept a grant for $11,512 for Creativity Innovation (Yeah, I don't know either. The backup is there and I still don't know).
We're being asked to approve a prior fiscal year payment of $360.82 (it's correcting an incorrect figure).
And, in something that we just got last night, we have the Elm Park Community School turnaround plan.
We do have an executive session scheduled for 6: to discuss the superintendent's contract and for an update on litigation relative to elevator fines (that's all I know).

The 2014 dropout rate is reported
as both 2.4% and 9.6%. The 2.4%
is an "adjusted" dropout rate
with no explanation.

JB: You can find how the state runs the numbers here: http://www.doe.mass.edu/infoservices/reports/gradrates/dropoutvsgrad.html
The 9.6% is cummulative over the four years of high school. The 2.4% rate is adjusted, as it includes the kids who have come back. You can get an even better idea of how many kids make it by looking at the five year rate, and including the GED.
Thanks for asking!

As you know, if you've been following me for a while, my mom moved from the house she lived in for 59 years into a retirement community nearby. As they do with most new residents they published a short bio of her for the community paper. In that she talked about some of the art she has created over the years and she was asked if they might display a sample in their small gallery. They have a dozen or so display cases like the one shown here and she gave them some painted china and some small quilt work that she has done, to be displayed for six months.
I saw the display a month or so ago but Cathy wasn't with us that day so after brunch with mom today we went to see it. The plates she painted include a nuthatch in the upper left, which is actually displayed incorrectly with the bird appearing to be on the ground instead of creeping down the trunk of a tree, as they do. At the upper right is a white-throated sparrow and the two birds on the lower plates are a black-capped chickadee on a wild rose (left) and a Carolina wren. The small quilt at the back of the bottom of the display was inspired by a Pablo Picasso painting of fish on a plate.
She has much more, of course, and has made quite a few much larger quilts but they would not fit into the display case. Also, most of the quilts have been distributed to her children and grandchildren. She showed us one she is working on now and I took a picture of her with that but decided to keep it secret until it is finished and given to its recipient.

What happened?
Court of Appeal's decision
How to show a good arguable case
Is it all relative?
It is appropriate for a court to take into account the relative merits of the parties' arguments in deciding whether a claimant has a 'good arguable case' that a jurisdictional gateway applies, following the Court of Appeal's decision in Kaefar Aislamientos SA de CV v AMS Drilling Mexico SA de CV.(1) Where the court does not have the evidence to decide which party has the better argument, a more flexible approach should be adopted.
The claimant carried out work at an oil drilling rig in the Gulf of Mexico and sought permission to serve four companies out of the jurisdiction for sums which were due under the relevant contract. The claimant argued that the jurisdictional gateway in Article 25 of the Recast Brussels Regulation applied, because the parties were bound by an exclusive jurisdiction clause in favour of the English courts.
However, only two of the defendants (AMS and AMS Mexico) were parties to the contract containing the exclusive jurisdiction clause and they were in financial difficulties. In order to establish that the jurisdictional gateway applied in respect of the other two defendants (AT1 and Ezion), the claimant had to show a good arguable case that they were acting as AMS and AMS Mexico's undisclosed principals in relation to the contract and so were bound by the exclusive jurisdiction clause.
The Court of Appeal decided that it did not have jurisdiction over AT1 and Ezion because on the facts the claimant did not have a good arguable case that they had acted as AMS and AMS Mexico's undisclosed principals and were therefore bound by the exclusive jurisdiction clause.
How to show a good arguable case
The court confirmed that the test to be applied when determining whether the claimant has established a good arguable case that a jurisdictional gateway exists is as follows:
It is now clear that a claimant must usually show that it has the better argument that a jurisdictional gateway has been established before it obtains permission to serve out of the jurisdiction. In circumstances where the evidence is thin, it is not all relative and a claimant is required only to demonstrate a plausible evidential basis that the gateway exists. However, the court warned that claimants should not try to engineer a lack of evidence by making extensive document requests from defendants.

On this fifth day of the Christmas season, We pray that you would open our ears to hear the Good News that was first declared to the shepherds in the fields – complete strangers to Mary, Joseph, and Jesus – yet the very people who God decided were a part of God's family. Open our ears to hear that in you there is no "us vs. them" – there is only us. And us includes everyone – literally everyone. Amen.

We pray that you walk with them in their time of sorrow, pain, questions, anger, and loss. Death sucks. Help us to be with families during this time – not trying to make them feel better, but to be with them in their grief, to acknowledge it, to be uncomfortable in it so that they know they are not alone. Lord, give them what they need to go through each day. Amen.

South End is located immediately south of Charlotte's center city area and is well-served by the Blue Line light rail line. South End is centered around four light rail line stations. The opening of the light rail in 2007, was a major contributing factor to the changes we've seen in Charlotte. The light rail continues to be a driving force for even more change and growth further south along its Blue Line path.
The formerly industrial zoned area had been populated mainly by freight lines, textile factories, and warehouses. Yet has seen ongoing changes towards a modern mixed use area with apartments, townhomes, breweries, restaurants, shopping and office spaces. All of which are convenient to Charlotte's center city area.
Located in the heart of South End, The RailYard will be the latest mixed-use development for the area of Charlotte just a few miles south of Uptown. The architect, David Furman, has designed plans which pair together Charlotte's modern edge with its rich rail history.
The design incorporates masonry, glass and ornamental steel to pair that history with a contemporary architectural design. The 3.5 acre site on South Tryon Street will include two eight-story buildings with Class A office space combined with restaurants and retail on the ground level.
The welcoming outdoor courtyard with seating and space for public events, such as live music, could add another nice flare to the South End scene by keeping its historic feel while also bringing some modern change to the South End skyscape. I for one am excited to see this completed!

Chief Justice John Marshall - CC
a truly rigid body
Truly rigid bodies
Because time stands still for a distant observer, no two points inside a black hole will ever move closer together, whatever forces are applied; and therefore a black hole must be a truly rigid body in a way that no other physical object in the universe can ever be. This is a special kind of rigidity; what is known as Born rigidity, which does not negate the effects of special relativity.With this new view, we have to consider a black hole as being a solid and totally rigid sphere. A region of space where mass is as great as it ever can be. The addition of any more mass must inevitably make the black hole larger.
Even if this seems a step too far, to those well-schooled in the existing view of a central singularity, we do not have to travel inside a black hole to make this assertion. In Schwarzschild coordinates, the time coordinate slows ultimately to a standstill at every point on the event horizon. Now, no two points on the event horizon can ever move relative to one another and hence the event horizon itself is a Born rigid spherical shell. I will leave it to you to puzzle out what this really means if all the mass were concentrated at a central singularity.
If you think that this result is just a peculiarity of using Schwarzschild coordinates, then see Defending the Schwarzschild singularity, which shows that this must be true in any coordinate system; coming later.
This leads to a notable effect on rotation, but before we can check this out we need to extend the reasoning to rotating (or Kerr) black holes.

Woolmers Estate (Accommodation)
Where To Stay Longford, Northern Midlands, Tasmania
Woolmers Estate offers colonial accommodation across six self-contained cottages in Longford, Tasmania.
Built in the 1840s, the cottages range from one to three bedrooms and can accommodate between two and six guests. Four Farm Workers Cottages have been designed to appeal to groups of friends travelling together. These cottages are in blocks of two with doors that can be opened to connect them. Each cottage has a wood heater and a self-contained kitchen. The cottages were once home to tradespeople on the estate.
Woolmers Estate is a significant example of a 19th-century rural farm settlement in Australia. Wander around the extensive grounds, colonial buildings and The Rose Garden. Soak up the atmosphere of a bygone era and take a guided tour of the main homestead. This splendid homestead has family collections, original furniture and memorabilia.

If you eat organic foods, shouldn't your pet eat the same? This is a question that health conscious pet owners across the globe are asking themselves, but the answer isn't as straightforward as we would hope. Here, we hope to give you all of the information you need about organic diets, to help you decide how to best meet your dog's nutritional needs.
Organic pet food diets are available as commercial dog foods, in both canned and dry formulations. In the UK and European Union, organic labelling on pet foods means that 95% of the ingredients are certified organic. All ingredients used for pet food has to be fit for human consumption except for pet foods that contain by-products, which are labelled 'not for human consumption'. According to labelling standards, all commercially-prepared pet foods, both organic and conventional, that are sold as 'complete pet food' or 'complete and balanced', must meet a certain level of vitamins and minerals. This is so that you, as a dog owner, can feel confident that your pet is getting all the nutrition he or she needs. If a pet food is labelled as 'complementary pet food' it will not meet all of the pet's nutritional needs and is intended for intermittent feeding only.
Organic food is grown without pesticides and herbicides and is also considered to be non-GMO. To people who eat organic, these are important health points and it is natural that people would want their pets to eat the same high-quality, sustainably-produced organic ingredients in their pet foods as well. In theory this is fantastic, but there is a catch. The supply of organic ingredients is much more limited than high-quality conventional ingredients: there is simply much less organic food being produced and the bulk of what is produced is sold for human consumption, leaving behind very little high quality organic ingredients for dog food. Just because a pet food is labelled organic it doesn't necessarily mean it will be of a higher quality than conventional formulas — on the contrary, it may be the other way around. As well as the questionable quality of organic ingredients due to limited availability, the potential lack of labelling regulations (depending on location) and cost of organic pet foods are other major concerns (1).
An alternative to commercially-prepared organic pet food is cooking for your pet at home, to ensure the highest-quality ingredients. If you can get in contact with a veterinary nutritionist to develop a few recipes and you have the time to cook for your dog, this is a fabulous option (2). The downside to this is the time and effort it takes to cook and the expense of consulting with a nutritionist, as well as acquiring organic ingredients. To reduce costs, you can buy ingredients and cook in bulk, and then freeze to save on time. Some veterinary nutritionists provide online or phone consultations or ready-made recipes, which will also save on time and money. It is not advisable to prepare homemade dog foods without consulting with a veterinary nutritionist. Different breeds, ages and sizes of dog have different and specific nutritional needs from each other and from humans, so you run the risk of chronic malnutrition if you do not formulate the recipes correctly.
Another option for pet owners that are concerned about the nutritional quality of conventional foods is feeding raw, or the BARF diet. However, there are lots of things to be aware of when considering this type of diet for your dog. BARF stands for biologically appropriate raw food. The risks of feeding your dog with a raw-meat diet includes infections with parasites, bacteria and viruses (3). Some of these pathogenic organisms also have zoonotic potential, meaning they can spread to humans. Additionally, dogs eating raw-meat diets often show nutritional imbalances. Over-supplementation and deficiencies of nutrients are frequently found, especially regarding calcium, the trace elements copper, zinc and iodine, vitamins A and D, and the calcium:phosphorus ratio. This malnutrition can cause clinical symptoms, such as brittle bones, behavioural changes, or changes to their hair and coat. Checking and optimising your dog's diet by a board-certified nutrition veterinarian is therefore strongly recommended (4). All raw products should be fed straight from the freezer to the pet's bowl (don't let any meat defrost or sit out at room temperature for more than 20 minutes), and pet food dishes should be washed/disinfected daily. Avoid feeding your dog too much liver as it contains heavy metals and completely avoid raw fish. If your dog does follow a raw food diet, you should ensure that they are on a regular de-worming schedule, and if there are any immune-compromised persons in the household, raw-feeding is strongly discouraged due to the risk of infection.
Dogs of all ages and sizes benefit from high-quality nutrition. Just like people, pets are what they eat. Pet foods are generally shelved like alcohol: top shelf is best. Organic labelled foods are often assumed to be 'top shelf' options, however each dog has their own individual needs that should be taken into account and prioritised before they are automatically placed on an organic diet. In general, it is best to avoid grocery store brands and work with your veterinarian to choose the best nutrition for your pet.

Don't Be a Destroyer
There is another way.
Recently, I was introducing Aikido to a student who came to try out the Kids Aikido class. While practicing our basic tai no henko, he looked at me and asked, "and then do you break their arm?"
He was not joking, nor did he show any hint of malice. It's not that he wanted to see an arm broken, it just seemed to him the logical next step in that situation.
The boy is not unusual in this. Another student trying Aikido for the first time last week, this one an adult, saw an opportunity to punch for the face during a similar exercise. Instinctually she felt the urge to strike, but did nothing to address the fact that uke had a controlling grasp on her arm.
Aikido is rooted in the belief that there are no winners in a physical fight. If I punch your face or break your arm I may "win" the fight, but we both lose. By any measure, physically, emotionally, spiritually, I come away with some damages. You come away with more damages. Our next encounter is not likely to be constructive.
It isn't just that using force damages your opponent and ultimately yourself. In many cases, this emotion-driven reaction is not even effective. It's not likely the child would break the arm of someone much larger and in trying, he'd lose a valuable opportunity to throw off an attacker and escape. The woman would have landed a pretty good punch to the face, but the person holding her arm could take her down before she had a chance to punch again.
Rage Against…?
There is also a larger picture. The vast majority of all conflict is not physical. Even if we look solely at physical confrontation, the vast majority of that comes from someone you know, not a stranger. The person initiating physical contact is more likely to be confused, frightened, or upset than to actually mean you harm. While true threats to your personal safety can and do exist, the vast majority of physical confrontations simply aren't that. If you aren't prepared to respond to a range of possible conflicts, you aren't prepared.
Using force and escalating tension is instinctual. How often do you find yourself trying to force a technique on the mat? Or feeling anger or frustration well up? Even when we know better, it is not always easy to see the right path. The path to destruction is pretty direct. The path of creation, of constructive action, usually takes discipline and focused action over time. People tend to revert to what's easy.
The world has plenty of destroyers. We don't need any more. What we need is more builders.
Thank you for being a builder.
"If you learn to control the universal elements within the human heart, you can respond according to the principles of water and fire, yin and yang, when an enemy attacks."
– O Sensei from the book BUDO Teachings of the Founder of Aikido

Bolton Vermont
Contributed by James Young, Toronto, Canada
This is a climb of two personalities. It starts sloping up right away and announces its presence with authority but then it eases off as quickly as it started but as soon as you figure you have this one bagged it returns with some quad busting slopes.
At the base there is parking in a very small gravel parking lot otherwise there is a school just few hundred feet to the east. The climb starts with a sweeper to the right and you are climbing right away. The first 2 1/2 wish miles is "ok" with some slopes but no real big time effort. It is that feeling that "this isn't so tough…". Then the "steep slope" sign appears and that sign doesn't lie. From here it is full on steep climbing until the finish at the ski station. Paper boy riding…..There are lots of twists and turns on this bad boy and lush tree lined all the way. The road surface is good although not great. The views are so spectacular you will want to take it easy on the descent anyways.
4.2 miles 1800'
The Skinny:
Road surface: good to very good. Traffic: Minimal….not an issue Beauty: Some outstanding views on the way down….. Tree Coverage: Solid throughout
Descent: OK…twisty and some rough areas so careful… Ease of parking....post ride amenities: Ample parking but no retail at the base

Q. Explain pzhlst, the meaning of the word so far in this context? In the sense of right now, or in general ?
+ Here
Thank you
A. I will explain: this means that in the next patches it will not be the Summer sets. In the future - with a high probability, yes, there will be an event exactly like that remembered to you. The fact is that it is planned for a specific patch, and its terms depend on a number of factors.

I still feel like I've been hit with a steam-roller, but I want to offer something on the blog today.
You may recognize the above photo from the featured image I posted yesterday. This is, obviously, the full image. It's an old gate found on the grounds of Hopewell Iron Forge, an "iron plantation" located on the Pennsylvania Historic Trail. It's well-worth a visit if you pass signs for it on the PA Turnpike.
The image of this gate, almost all that remains of a picket fence behind one of the worker's homes, is a wonderful reminder of how all things human-made fade. When the forge was running it was part of the emerging industrial revolution, and even forged some cannon for the Continental forces during the Revolution. As it's won't to do, however, Technology moved on from charcoal-fired to coal-fired furnaces throughout the nineteenth century. Eventually, it could no longer compete and was shut down.
Things we believe are permanent are really only temporary. Eventually time, culture, technology, and needs shift – leaving only weathered reminders of a glorious past. Beautiful? Yes, but they are also reminders of something lost.

When it comes time to design your brand new kitchen, it is important to stay true to what you like. That being said, there are a lot of popular trends that are seen in decorator magazines or pushed by manufacturers and big box stores that should really be avoided. You can usually spot one of these types of trends by the way that they don't add any real value to the home. Unfortunately, for homeowners that indulge and go with what's "hot" or popular" at the time, it usually means having to replace the trendy design with something more traditional when it comes time to sell their home. Design options that are too "out there" or unusual will usually be off-putting to prospective buyers and should be avoided at all costs.
You are better off working with a local designer and installer of South Coast kitchen cabinets that can steer you to regional classics for your new kitchen design in Fall River. Kitchen cabinets have experienced some improvements over the years, allowing for specialty cupboards, cabinets and accessories, but for the most part they have stayed the same. Massachusetts kitchen cabinets should be of a sturdy construction and should come in a variety of traditional colors and styles that are designed to last through decades of trends that will come and go. That doesn't mean that your kitchen cabinets can't be stylish, but the goal here is to find something that will give you a good return on your investment and last for many years.
A Blast from the Past
Think about some of the trends from the past that are no longer needed in kitchens today. It used to be that you wouldn't think of buying a home that didn't have a phone connection in the kitchen, but most people don't even have landlines anymore, so they are becoming a thing of the past. Nooks for things like plastic, foil and waxed paper dispensers also used to be pretty popular, but now most people put them in a cupboard or a drawer instead. Key hooks, kitchen desks, appliance garages and hidden cutting boards are some of the other once "hot" trends that have now fallen by the wayside.
Trend #1 – Bright Colors
Open a home design magazine and your will see kitchen cabinets that are painted as though children were allowed to choose the shades. Bright colors of magenta, chartreuse and cerulean scream out from the pages. If you want to incorporate bright colors into your kitchen design in Fall River, then do it with accents and accessories that can be traded out when the trend finally goes away.
Trend #2 – Weird Sinks
There were a couple of years there where everyone was getting farmhouse sinks, basin sinks and other unusual, non-traditional sinks installed with their Massachusetts kitchen cabinets and cupboards. Once again, things that stand out and that are extremely different from the normal look and feel of the American kitchen will not last for very long.
Trend #3 – Crazy Backsplash
Some of the acceptable materials for backsplashes include stainless steel, copper, glass, ceramic, porcelain, brick, composite tiles and natural stone. Steer clear of anything that is too bold or brightly colored to appeal to the masses.
Trend #4 – Microwaves
Many homeowners are avoiding countertop style microwaves because they use up a lot of valuable preparation space. However, the current trend of installing microwaves under the counter may seem like a good idea, but it can become a headache trying to bend down to heat or cook things on a daily basis. Locks must also be installed to keep toddlers out, reminding us that appliances should be out of kids' reach to begin with.
Trend #5 – Range Hoods
Fancy range hoods – made from stainless steel, copper or painted to match the kitchen theme – should also be skipped over. Opt instead for more space for your beautiful South Coast kitchen cabinets instead and consider installing an over the stove microwave instead under your kitchen cabinets, essentially killing two design trends with one great idea.
Trend #6 – Pot Racks
Those hanging pot racks sure look good when used as a design element in your favorite cooking show or TV drama, but the truth is that no one has time to polish their copper bottom pots to look like decorative items if they are actually cooking with them on a regular basis. Nix the pot racks and put those pots and pans in a cupboard where they belong.
Trend #7 – Artsy Appliances
While you might want to grab that new mixer in your favorite bright color to use as an accent piece, stay away from refrigerators, stoves, dishwashers and other large appliances in today's new colorful shades. Just remember those horrible goldenrod and avocado appliances from the 60s and 70s. That should be enough to remind you not to choose trendy colors for anything.
Trend #8 – Open Shelving
Having a single shelf in your kitchen to display special items, cookbooks or something else that you love is a great idea. Going with the European style of open shelving instead of a set of beautiful Massachusetts kitchen cabinets is another. Go over your ideas for kitchen design in Fall River with a professional and see what your options are for kitchen cabinets with glass doors and other features if you really want to show things off.

Coherent Axon Compact Femtosecond Laser
Coherent Axon Compact Femtosecond Laser
Coherent has introduced the Axon family, a completely new suite of compact femotsecond lasers, designed from inception to deliver lower cost, reduced complexity and smaller footprint. Axon addresses demanding applications such as multiphoton microscopy (MPE), nanoprocessing, semiconductor metrology and THz spectroscopy. Axon is a fixed wavelength, compact (212mm x 312mm x 62mm), air-cooled laser. The first two models have output wavelengths of 920nm and 1064nm, with other wavelength versions expected soon. All Axon lasers feature the same form, fit and function, including 1W of average power with integrated, software-controlled GVD pre-compensation. To further simplify adaption of this laser, its output matches the existing femtosecond laser oscillators: short (<150fs) pulse width, a clean temporal profile and 80MHz pule repetition rate.
A major application of the Axon lasers is multiphoton microscopy. The 920nm laser is designed for GFP and related imaging probes, and Ca2+ indicators such as GCAMP. The 1064nm version matches well with red shifted Ca2+ indicators and red fluorescent proteins. Although MPE delivers inherent 3D images, deep penetration and high cell viablity, market adoption lags well behind confocal microscopy because the cost and size of available femtosecond lasers and the challenges of integrating them with a microscope. The combination of the optional integrated fast modulation and small laser head allows for direct attachment of Axon to a microscope scan head, potentially negating the need for an optical table.
Other applications for Axon include two-photon polymerisation, material nanoprocessing and semicondcutor and thin film metrology. The 1064nm model is also an excellent tool for supercontinuum generation thanks to its high fidelity femtosecond pulse quality.

A northern Manitoba man is making a 1,000-kilometre walk to Winnipeg to bring attention to the plight of his displaced First Nations community.
A member of Granville Lake, David Bighetty left his current home in Leaf Rapids on Monday to begin his long trek tentatively scheduled to conclude at the Manitoba Legislative Building in Winnipeg on Aug. 2. He plans to stop at other communities along the way, such as Nelson House and Cross Lake, throughout his walk.
"I have cried and longed for home long enough,"said Bighetty in an email sent last week.
"These issues we face here in Leaf [Rapids] are slowly killing our people, and there is only so much time for all of us."
His community of Granville Lake has been unable to return to their homes for over 16 years. The community was evacuated to Leaf Rapids in 2003 due to a failed sewage and water system, which Bighetty said left many in the community ill due to prolonged exposure. The community has also experienced adverse effects of hydro development affecting their environment and economy, he said.
Since being relocated to Leaf Rapids, a whole generation of kids have grown up without the benefits of living in their ancestral traditional territory and the Granville Lake community has suffered since, Bighetty said. The community has been heavily affected by drug and alcohol related problems, suicide, and an increase in criminal activity. These effects coincide with the fact that community members don't have the same access to traditional forms of hunting, fishing, and trapping.
Since the community's relocation, signed monetary settlements have proved to be insufficient with large sums of money being unaccounted for, and Bighetty's attempts at holding community leaders accountable have come up short, Bighetty said in the email. He said his purpose for walking is not only to draw attention to what has happened to his community, but also to persuade government bodies to assist in his community's return to their homes on Granville Lake.
Some Granville Lake community members are still paying rents on the properties they were forced to leave behind. Bighetty is calling for amnesty for their rents, considering they are not being compensated, and the infrastructures are not being cared for.
Bignetty's claims about financial mismanagement have not been independently confirmed by the Winnipeg Sun and attempts to contact Bignetty or the Wa Ni Ska Tan alliance for Hydro impacted communities have been unsuccessful.
"It is my hope that we can make a difference for Granville Lake for the future" said Bighetty, who is accepting donations and encouraging community members along the way to meet him along Highway 6 as he heads toward Winnipeg. He said he also looks forward to any persons wanting to walk alongside him, even if only for a few kilometers.
