New Delhi: Getting license for a firearm or operating a cinema hall may cost more, with Delhi Police approaching the government to increase license fees, which has not been revised for the past 31 years.
"We have moved a proposal before the government for
increasing the license fees. These fees were fixed 31 years
ago," Delhi Police Commissioner Y S Dadwal told reporters here
while launching the new website of Licensing Branch.
He said the increase in the rate of fees will be
Fees for license or renewal for firearms range from Rs
10 to Rs 200 for a period of one to three years.
A senior police officer said the fees were fixed when
Delhi Police Act was passed in 1978.
The new website -- www.delhipolicelicensing.com -- has
information about various procedures to be adopted for getting
license for various purposes.
One can download applications for licenses for dealing
in explosives, operating hotels and guesthouses and running
cinema halls besides others.
"We are not yet into accepting forms online. We hope to
have it soon in our website," Dadwal said.

- Two Escoffier menus.
Ritz Carlton Restaurants on board the Hamburg Amerika Line ships.
A Lunch and Dinner menu from the S.S. Amerika passenger liner, March 1908.
Menu 1. Dinner dated March 14th 1908 - 177x117 mm. A folded card with a very good drawing of the SS Amerika on the front cover. Inside a 12 course dinner in English and German with French and a few US dishes. On the back cover is the music programme with a lovely drawing of a violinist. Clean and handsome. Menu 2. Lunch dated March 12th 1908 - 130x90 mm. . A folded card with a header titled A Suggestion' on the front cover. Inside a plain 6 course lunch in English and German. On the back cover are a couple of glue strips that suggest this menu was pasted into a folder at some time. All text and menu borders in gilt. The guttering has been strengthened but still a clean and handsome item. Overall in very good condition and housed in a handsome cardboard folder covered in grey marbled paper with a label on the front cover. A rare item of Escoffier ephemera.
- The Hamburg Amerika Liner company requested Auguste Escoffier and Cesar Ritzs services for the planning and inauguration of the Kitchens and Restaurants on the brand new liners "S.S. Amerika" and the 'S.S. Kaiserin Auguste Victoria. Both of these ships were built side by side at the Harland Wolff shipyards in Belfast. 'Amerika' was launched first on April 20th 1905, According to the Morton Allan Directory of European Passenger Steamship Arrivals (Baltimore: 1987), the S.S. Amerika" sailed between Hamburg and New York from 1905-1913. For the year 1914 it sailed between Hamburg and Boston; the Amerika's last U.S. arrivals were to Boston on 19 June and 24 July 1914. In 1912, it was the first ship to warn Titanic of icebergs. The kitchens and dining rooms of the liners S.S. Amerika and S.S. Kaiserin Auguste Victoria opened with the very original a la carte restaurants. The service on board all of those liners was called the The Ritz Carlton Restaurants. There had never been an ala Cartre restaurant of any kind on a ship before. Adding the names of Escoffier and Ritz to this novel enterprise and the interest, support and demand completely filled the dining rooms every day. The new restaurants became stunning successes. They even had to significantly expand the kitchen of the 'S.S. Kaiserin Auguste Victoria' after the first voyage. Escoffiers secondment from the Carlton Hotel to the Hamburg Amerika line was to last until 1915 and would further help to cement his reputation as the gastronomic Master craftsman of the age.

- Escoffier's great classic. Incomparable in many ways, not least in the fact it laid out what is now the modern Kitchen brigade with its departments clearly delineated and all recipes recorded that are still widely used today as the basics in most big Kitchen brigades. A mark of its classic place in Gastronomic history is that the recipes are still the basis of most Culinary schools curriculum. The great man is being re-discovered in this day and age once again. A sign of his lasting impact and a true appreciation for the skills and basically true recipes he used and recorded, in a time when change has become almost the norm, and food fads abound.

- Extremely rare.
Signed photograph.
A group of nine chefs with George Auguste Escoffier, one of whom is also Escoffier's famed pupil - Charles Scotto.
Vintage sepia mounted photograph framed beautifully in a dark brown matte cardboard border and enclosed in a brown and gold frame, measuring 12x13. The photograph itself measures 6 ½ x 4 ½.
- This is a very rare signed photograph. It is a group shot of chefs outside the legendary Casino Dieppe France, circa - 1927. The uniqueness comes about by the inclusion within the group of the famous Chef, Auguste Escoffier seated in a dark suit, and also his famous friend (especially in America) and pupil, Charles Scotto -- seated to Escoffiers left. The signatures of Escoffier and Scotto are respectively on the bottom left and right of the picture. Charles Scotto was born 1887 in Monte Calro and in his youth became a close friend of Escoffier. At the turn of the century Scotto had been a commis chef in the brigade at the Savoy Hotel London where Escoffier was Maitre Chef de Cuisine. Scotto helped Escoffier all thro his professional life with planning and opening many new kitchens and restaurants such as the new Carlton Hotel in Londons Pall Mall and the extremely popular, new and innovative al'a Carte 'Ritz restaurants' on board the Hamburg-Amerika line, especially in the kitchens of S.S.Imperator where he was Escoffier's partner in this undertaking. He represented and helped Escoffier in the setting up and the opening of many of his other ventures over the years, including the famous 'Casino Dieppe. In 1928, at the Sorbonne in Paris, The World Chefs' Association was formed and it is still in existence today. Scotto was their the first president. He also opened other hotels including the famous Pierre Hotel in New York. For the opening Scotto invited Auguste Escoffier - (described by Andre L. Simon in his obituary to Escoffier in the 'Wine & Food Society' Magazine as his last official act)... In 1935 Escoffier passed away in Monte Carlo. In America Les Amis d' Escoffier held their first memorial dinner at the Jensen Suite of the Waldorf with 53 friends of the famous chef attending a memorable feast. In 1936, approximately a year after the death of Georges Auguste Escoffier, members of the American Culinary Federation in New York City invited hoteliers and leading citizens to join with the chefs to preserve the culinary traditions of the master. The then - ACF President Charles Scotto, well known as Escoffier's "beloved apprentice," and General Secretary Joseph Donon hosted the premier meeting of their new society for gourmets in the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel on March 30, 1936. Rules were established that forbade drunkenness. Only wine or aperitifs were served. Les Amis prohibited smoking at table, claiming that anyone who smoked between courses did not deserve the title of gourmet. Speech making was not allowed either. Ultimately, dining rules required silence during dinner so guests could focus on the dish at hand without distraction. Charles Scotto passed away in 1937 aged only 51, following kidney surgery. More than 1,000 of his admirers and colleagues attended the funeral. A solemn high mass was celebrated at the Church of Our Lady of Refuge, on Ocean and Foster Avenues in Brooklyn, His widow traveled with his remains to Monte Carlo where he was buried. While photographs of Escoffier are quite common, those of Scotto are scarce and signed images of both chefs together are rare in the extreme.

- One of Escoffier's menu.
Menu du Reveillon, 31st December, 1911.
Carlton Hotel and Restaurant, London. New Years Eve.
286mm x 224mm. With a Great British Empire themed coloured picture on the front. It shows two men, one is a John Bull figure, the other, a Scotsman in a kilt, as well as two ladies representing Ireland and Wales. The dates on two boats prows showing 1911 and 1912. At the top, six little vignettes of famous scenes from countries under the crown. Cardboard cover with four pages. An impressive menu with fourteen items inside. Tied together with multi-coloured cord. A little foxing on the front but not affecting the overall image. A nice item of Escoffier ephemera in good quality paper(for the time).
- Considering this menu is 100 years old it has fared well. Looking thro' Escoffier's 'L'Aide-Memoire Culinaire' of 1910 one can see his dishes on offer for that New Year. His menus from his time at the Carlton Hotel from 1899 - 1919 are very scarce, but when found they give a sense of place and gastronomic history other chef's menus lack.

- One of Escoffier's menus.
Menu Reveillon 1913 - 1914
Simple elegant menu with a large drawing by Georges Redon, titled "Hommages".
413mm x 310mm. 4to. 4p. On the front is a lovely drawing of an Edwardian gentleman in tails and top hat kissing the hand of an equally elegant lady. Amusingly there are two dogs in the middle politely sniffing each other. Signed by the artist Georges Redon. At the bottom is a pink ribbon with a cardboard seal. On page three surrounded by an delicately etched Art Nouveau border is a New Years Eve menu (Reveillon) for 1913-14. On the bottom right hand corner is a little box with the words Carlton Hotel and Restaurant London. Large menu with the paper slightly age browned. Overall a nice and very scarce item of Escoffier ephemera.
- Georges Redon (1869 1943) was a painter and lithographer. In the 1920s, he created a series of charming images depicting little boys urinating. Because of today's concerns about pedophilia such images are no longer widely distributed, subsequentially it isn't easy to find any of Redon's famous "Pipi" works anymore. Redons pictures also conveyed a lot of humour. He also created artwork for many food labels incuding biscuits and Chocolat Escoffier, so perhaps unsurprisingly this Carlton Hotel menu commission. This very elegant, large Escoffier menu from his time at the Carlton (1899 - 1919), is a fine collectors item. Definitely a cut above the norm.

- From 1890 to 1920, Escoffier took over the management of the kitchens in many luxurious & prestigious hotels like The Savoy Hotel and The Carlton Hotel in London and Ritz Hotel in Paris. For almost thirty years, he served many of the most famous people of the time, creating for them unique dishes that became renowned, even to this day. After he left London in 1920, Escoffier returned to Monte Carlo and undertook a very active retirement. He never ceased writing culinary books until his death in 1935. Due to the gratitude and unforgettable memory of Escoffier, people, including his best friends and colleagues in London and Paris, created the Auguste Escoffier Foundation. This eponymous museum was established in 1959 in the house where he was born. Mon. Raymond Poincaré was a French conservative statesman who served as Prime Minister of France on five separate occasions and as President of France from 1913 to 1920. For Escoffier's work in promoting French cuisine, President Poincaré personally presented him with the cross of The Légion d'honneur or The Ordre national de la Légion d'honneur. This is a French order established by Napoleon Bonaparte, First Consul of the First Republic, on 19 May 1802. Escoffier in 1919, was the first chef to receive such an outstanding award. On March 22nd, 1928 he was promoted to the highest French honour as an Officier de la Legion dhonneur and again became the first chef to have received this distinction. He was presented his medal by President Edouard Herriot at the Palais d'Orsay. The ceremony was followed at the Palais by, quote a remarkable banquet" with Escoffier as the guest of honour. In the last b/w photograph below, Escoffier can be seen shaking President Herriot's hand at the Palais as he is leaving. He is also surrounded by the brigade of chefs that cooked the banquet. This extremely rare item is the menu from that memorable occasion.

Dynamical heterogeneity in aging colloidal glasses of Laponite
ABSTRACT Glasses behave as solids due to their long relaxation time; however the
origin of this slow response remains a puzzle. Growing dynamic length scales
due to cooperative motion of particles are believed to be central to the
understanding of both the slow dynamics and the emergence of rigidity. Here, we
provide experimental evidence of a growing dynamical heterogeneity length scale
that increases with increasing waiting time in an aging colloidal glass of
Laponite. The signature of heterogeneity in the dynamics follows from dynamic
light scattering measurements in which we study both the rotational and
translational diffusion of the disk-shaped particles of Laponite in suspension.
These measurements are accompanied by simultaneous microrheology and
macroscopic rheology experiments. We find that rotational diffusion of
particles slows down at a faster rate than their translational motion. Such
decoupling of translational and orientational degrees of freedom finds its
origin in the dynamic heterogeneity since rotation and translation probe
different length scales in the sample. The macroscopic rheology experiments
show that the low frequency shear viscosity increases at a much faster rate
than both rotational and translational diffusive relaxation times.

ABSTRACT: The stiction properties of a star polyisoprene (PIP) melt (having 22 arms and an arm molecular weight of around 5000, M(w) ≈ 110 000) confined between mica surfaces were investigated using the surface forces apparatus. Stop-start experiments were carried out and the stiction spike was measured as a function of surface stopping (aging) time t and applied pressure P; the time constants of the phase transitions in the stiction dynamics (freezing on stopping and melting on starting) were obtained from the force relaxation behaviors. The results were compared with those of a confined linear-PIP melt (M(w) ≈ 48 000) and other confined fluid systems; the effect of star architecture on the phase transitions in confinement during aging is discussed. Estimation of the molecular size gives that the confined star-PIP films consist of three molecular layers; a non-adsorbed layer sandwiched between two layers adsorbed on opposed mica surfaces. There are (at least) four time constants in the freezing transition of the confined star-PIP melt; fast (τ(1)) and slow (τ(2)) time constants for lateral force relaxation on stopping, critical aging time for freezing (τ(f)), and the logarithmic increase of the spike height against t. The three time constants on stopping, τ(1), τ(2), and τ(f), increase with the increase of P (decrease of the thickness D). As regards the melting transition on starting, spike force decay was fitted by a single exponential function and one time constant was obtained, which is insensitive to P (D). Comparison of the time constants between freezing and melting, and also with the results of linear-PIP reveals that the stiction dynamics of the star-PIP system involves the relaxation and rearrangement of segmental-level and whole molecular motions. Lateral force relaxation on stopping is governed by the individual and cooperative rearrangements of local PIP segments and chain ends of the star, which do not directly lead to the freezing of the system. Instead, geometrical rearrangements of the soft star-PIP spheres into dense packing between surfaces (analogous to the concept of a colloidal glass transition) are the major mechanism of the freezing transition (stiction) after aging. Interdigitation of PIP segments∕chain ends between neighboring star molecules also contributes to the spike growth along with aging, and the melting transition on starting.The Journal of Chemical Physics 11/2012; 137(19):194702. · 3.12 Impact Factor
Article: Polyamorphism and origin of spatially heterogeneous dynamics in network-forming liquids under compression: Insight from visualization of molecular dynamics data[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Polyamorphism and dynamical heterogeneities in network-forming liquids (SiO2, GeO2, Al2O3) at 3200 K and in a wide pressure range are investigated by molecular dynamics simulation. Results show that their structure comprises three structural phases: TO4-, TO5-, and TO6-phases (T = Si, Ge, or Al). The size of structural phase regions significantly depends on compression. Besides, the mobility of atoms in different structural phases is different. For SiO2 and GeO2 systems, the TO5-phase forms mobile regions. For Al2O3 system, AlO6-phase forms mobile regions. The coexistence of TOx-phases (x = 4, 5, 6) in the network-forming liquids is origin of the spatially dynamical heterogeneity.Applied Physics Letters 05/2013; 102(19). · 3.52 Impact Factor

Glasses behave as solids due to their long relaxation time; however the origin of this slow response
remains a puzzle. Growing dynamic length scales due to cooperative motion of particles are believed to
be central to the understanding of both the slow dynamics and the emergence of rigidity. Here, we
provide experimental evidence of a growing dynamical heterogeneity length scale that increases with
increasing waiting time in an aging colloidal glass of Laponite. The signature of heterogeneity in the
dynamics follows from dynamic light scattering measurements in which we study both the rotational
and translational diffusion of the disk-shaped particles of Laponite in suspension. These measurements
are accompanied by simultaneous microrheology and macroscopic rheology experiments. We find that
rotational diffusion of particles slows down at a faster rate than their translational motion. Such
decoupling of translational and orientational degrees of freedom finds its origin in the dynamic
heterogeneity since rotation and translation probe different length scales in the sample. The
macroscopic rheology experiments show that the low frequency shear viscosity increases at a much
faster rate than both rotational and translational diffusive relaxation times.
Glasses are non-equilibrium solids with no long-range structural
correlations. Due to their long relaxation time, glasses behave as
solids on experimental time scales. This slow response is often
attributed to cooperative motion of particles in which a subre-
gion of the liquid relaxes to a new local configuration.1,2
However, the size of cooperatively rearranging regions has never
been observed to exceed a few particle diameters, and the
observation of long-range correlations that are signatures of an
elastic solid has remained elusive. The universal dynamical
feature in a variety of such systems, including molecular,
colloidal, metallic glasses is a dramatic slowing down of the
diffusion of particles concomitant with a huge increase of
viscosity upon approaching the glass-transition.3,4The slowing
down of dynamics expresses itself, among other things, in the
non-exponential relaxation of translational and rotational
degrees of freedom and non-decaying plateaus of the associated
correlation functions in the glassy phase.

quenchintotheglassyphase.Theagingisoftenattributed tolocal
the system falls into a new configuration in phase space. Cooper-
rearrangements, therefore suggests the existence of heterogenous
dynamics for the particle motion in both space and time.
Indeed, various theoretical and experimental studies have
provided evidence for the existence of dynamical heterogeneity in
both molecular and colloidal glass formers5,6,8despite the
differences between the two systems. The building blocks of
molecular glass formers are in the range 0.1–1 nm and the glass
transition is these systems is generally driven by a temperature or
pressure quench. Colloidal glasses, on the other hand, consist of
large particles with sizes in the range 10–1000 nm that undergo
Brownian motion in a suspending liquid. The key control
parameter in colloidal systems is the volume fraction or density.
These systems have the advantage that they can be viewed
directly using microscopy, so that we can have a microscopic
picture of how particles rearrange at the glass transition.7In
computer simulations8,9and confocal microscopy experiments
on colloidal glasses7,10–14the heterogenous regions were visual-
ized directly. One way of quantifying the spatio-temporal
correlations is to determine the four-point dynamic correlation
functions that measure the correlations of motion in space–
time.15Such four-point correlation functions have been used to
quantify the dynamical heterogeneity and its associated length-
scale in several glass formers;14,16however this correlation func-
tion is not always easily accessible in measurements of the glass-
forming systems, especially for molecular glass-formers and
nanometer sized colloidal particles. Therefore, other probes that
reveal the nature of heterogenous dynamics are helpful.

One important consequence of dynamical heterogeneity is the
break-down of mean-field dynamical relations such as the well-
known Stokes–Einstein relation.17–21If spatially correlated
mobile regions exist, it seems plausible that there should be
a difference between the globally measured viscosity that results
from the cooperative motion and the local diffusion dynamics of
the particles that probe the local 'viscosity'. Therefore, a scale-
dependent diffusion coefficient can be considered as a signature
of dynamical heterogeneity and provides us with some indication
of the dynamic correlation length scale.
The translational diffusion coefficient and rotational relaxa-
tion time of particles suspended in a (low-viscosity) liquid follow
the Stokes–Einstein and Debye–Stokes–Einstein equations,
respectively, that relate the translational diffusion coefficient and
rotational relaxation time to the temperature and the viscosity as
Dtr¼ akBT
Stokes ? Einstein relation (1)
sr¼ a0hR3
Debye ? Stokes ? Einstein relation (2)
Here R is the size of the largest dimension of the particles and
a and a0are prefactors that depend on the shape of particles and
are known in principle. These relationships predict that trans-
lational and orientational relaxation times should be directly
proportional to the macroscopically measured viscosity.
Here, by studying the aging dynamics of relaxation time and
viscosity of a colloidal glass of Laponite,24–26we investigate the
validity of the relationships in eqn (1). Laponite is a synthetic
clay that is widely used as a rheology-modifier in industrial
materials such as paints, household cleaners and personal care
and house construction products. Furthermore, it is considered
as a model system for charged colloidal disks and its rich
complex phase behavior has attracted a lot of attention in recent
years and has been studied extensively in from the fundamental
point of view as discussed in a recent review paper.27Here, our
aim is to find a link between slowing down of translational and
rotational motion and increase of viscosity and investigate the
possible development of dynamical heterogeneity in Laponite
colloidal glass. The insights obtained from this study are possibly
useful for other soft glassy fluids such as red blood cells or
anisotropic colloids.28
At sufficiently high concentrations, Laponite particles sus-
pended in water, form a glassy phase that ages.24–26During aging
the viscosity and the relaxation times associated with trans-
lational and rotational relaxation increase.29–32The anisotropic
shape allows us to study both the translational and rotational
diffusion of the particles.31,33Although the aging of the trans-
lational and rotational diffusion has been already investigated in
a previous work,31their connection to the development of
viscosity in relation to Stokes–Einstein and Debye–Stokes–Ein-
stein relations is missing. The current study is complemented
with rheology and microrheology experiments. Thus we have
examined the problem from the more fundamental perspective of
dynamical heterogeneity. We observe how the aging from
a liquid-like to a disordered solid-like state influences the
orientational and translational degrees of freedom, and how
these are related to the increase of the global viscosity. Further,
by comparing the translational diffusion of Laponite particles
with that of a probe much bigger than their size, we can inves-
tigate how dynamical heterogeneity develops in the system as
a function of waiting time.
II.Materials and methods
The Laponite grade that we used for our experiments is Laponite
XLG that consists of platelets of an average diameter of 25 nm
and 1.2 nm thickness with an estimated polydispersity index of
about 30%.34Laponite can absorb water, increasing its weight by
up to 20%. Therefore, we first dried it in an oven at 100?C for
one week and subsequently stored it in a desiccator. Laponite
dispersions are prepared in ultra pure Millipore water and are
stirred vigorously by a magnetic stirrer 1.5 h to make sure that
the Laponite particles are carefully dispersed. The dispersions are
filtered using Millipore Millex AA 0.8 mm filter units to obtain
a reproducible initial state. This instant defines the zero of
waiting time, tw¼ 0.24
Our dynamic light scattering setup (ALV) is based on a He–Ne
laser (l ¼ 632.8 nm, 35 mW) with avalanche photodiodes as
detectors. An ALV-60X0 correlator directly computes the

a concentration around 3 wt%, the refractive index is 1.33535and
the measurements were always performed at angle Q ¼ p/2,
leading to a scattering wave number q ¼ 1.87 ? 107m?1.
The total electric field scattered by the colloidal particles with
an axially symmetric optical anisotropy has a vertically polarized
component EVVwith an amplitude proportional to the average
polarizability, g¼ (gk+ 2gt)/3 and a horizontal depolarized
component EVHproportional to the intrinsic particle anisotropy
b ¼ gk? gt, the difference between the polarizabilities parallel
and perpendicular to the optical axis.33Depolarized dynamic
light scattering (DDLS) measures the correlation functions of the
scattered light intensity whose polarization (horizontal) is
perpendicular to the polarization of incident light (vertical), i.e.,
the VH mode, as opposed to the VV mode for which the polar-
ization of scattered and incident light are both vertical.
The viscoelastic moduli during the aging process were also
measured using a conventional Anton Paar Physica MCR300
rheometer with a Couette geometry. To avoid perturbing the
sample during the aging process we performed the oscillatory
shear measurements with a small strain amplitude of 0.01 at
a fixed frequency 0.05 Hz. In orderto preventevaporation during
the long time measurements, we installed a vapor trap. The
experimental setup for performing microrheology consists of
optical tweezers formed by two polarized laser beams. Details of
this experimental setup can be found in ref. 36.

reflect the dynamics of the translational degree of freedom as the
contribution of the rotational motion to the VV correlations
is rather small as has been demonstrated before.31The VH
correlation functions, on the other hand are determined by both
translational and rotational degrees of freedom. Indeed, for
dilute enough suspensions, the VH correlations can be written as
a product of VV correlation function and a purely orientational
Studying the aging dynamics of VV correlations for an
extensive range of samples, it has been well established that one
can observe two regimes of aging.24,25,37In the first regime of
aging, the translational correlation functions decay to zero
within the experimental accessible time scales and the average
relaxation time grows exponentially with waiting time. In the
second regime of aging, the ensemble-averaged correlations
do not decay to zero and a plateau in intermediate scattering
function appears (see Fig. 1(a)). The waiting time for which the
correlation functions (i) no longer decay to zero within the
experimental time-scale and (ii) the time-averaged correlation
functions are not equal to their ensemble-averaged values defines
the ergodicity-breaking time teb. Studying the aging dynamics of
VV and VH correlation functions simultaneously, we find out
that the VH correlations become non-ergodic at nearly the same
time as the VV correlations. Therefore, we take the same tebvalue
for both VV and VH correlations. To be able to quantify the
relaxation times for rotational and translational diffusion, here
we only focus on aging dynamics in the first, ergodic, regime of
In Fig. 1, we show the fVVand fVHintermediate scattering
functionsextractedfrom intensity
measured at different stages of aging. We already know that for
the VV intermediate scattering functions fVVa two-step relaxa-
tion can be observed;29we observe a similar relaxation for the
VH correlations as well.31In the ergodic regime, we can quantify
the relaxation times by fitting the VV intermediate scattering
functions with the sum of an exponential and a stretched
correlation functions
f(q,t) ¼ Aexp(?t/s1) + (1 ? A) exp(?(t/s2)b).(3)
where A determines the relative contribution of the exponentially
decaying fast relaxation time s1and b is known as the stretching
exponent characterizing the broadness of slow relaxation modes
that contribute to the correlation function. The smaller b is,
the broader the distribution of the slow relaxation times. s2
gives us an idea of the mean relaxation time that is determined as
sm¼ s2/bG(1/b), where G is the gamma function.
The VV mode data reflects the aging ofthe translational degree
of freedom, and the relaxation times from the fit are therefore
a direct measure of the relaxation times of translational diffu-
sion. Fitting the VV correlations with eqn (3), we find that A is
constant with waiting time with a value 0.215 ? 0.02. The same
holdsfor the fast relaxation timewhose inverse givesus the short-
time diffusion coefficient Ds, i.e. s1¼ 1/(Dsq2). As was shown in
previous work13,31s2is growing exponentially with waiting time
concomitant with the decrease of the stretching exponent
b whose value decreases linearly from 0.606 ? 0.005 at twz 0 to
0.358 ? 0.005 at twz teb. In Fig. 3(a), we have presented the
evolution of both fast (s1) and slow (s2) relaxation times; the fast
relaxation time is usually interpreted as a 'cage rattling' motion,
whereas the longer relaxation time corresponds to a cage
As mentioned before, both translational and rotational
degrees of freedom contribute to the VH correlations. In order to
gain a more direct insight into the rotational dynamics, we
extract the orientational correlation functions defined as the
ratio for ¼ fVH/fVV as shown in Fig. 2. These orientational
correlations can also be fitted with the sum of a single and
a stretched exponential according to eqn (3). The corresponding
fast s1 f 1/Dsand slow s2 rotational relaxation times can
be extracted as depicted in Fig. 3(b). We find that for the
orientational correlations, A decreases with waiting time from
A ¼ 0.12 ? 0.03 at early stages of aging to A ¼ 0.012 ? 0.01
at tw z teb. The stretching exponent b also decreases from
b ¼ 0.30 ? 0.01 at early stages of aging to b ¼ 0.15 ? 0.02 upon
approaching the ergodicity-breaking time, pointing to a broader
distribution of rotational slow relaxation times as compared to
the translational ones.
We also measured the macroscopic complex shear modulus
with the rheometer; the complex viscosity magnitude can be
obtained as jh?j ¼

translational and rotational diffusion and viscosity. The first
important observation is that the slow relaxation time of the
orientational degree of freedom grows faster than the corre-
sponding one for the translational degree; this is the first indi-
cation of the decoupling of the translational degree of freedom
from the rotational degree during the aging of Laponite
suspensions. The second important observation comes from the
comparison of the light scattering results with the low-frequency
complex viscosity modulus as a function of waiting time, as also
shown in Fig. 3.
In Fig. 3(a (b)) the viscosity is scaled in such a way that if
Stokes–Einstein(–Debye) relation were valid, one would obtain
the translational (rotational) relaxation time from the corre-
sponding viscosity according to the Stokes–Einstein(–Debye)
relation. From this figure, we interestingly find that the growth of
both translational and rotational relaxations occurs at a different
rate than that of viscosity. In other words, not only translational
and rotational degrees are decoupled but also the structural
relaxation time of the system characterized by viscosity is
decoupled from these degrees of freedom. Looking at Fig. 3, we
can recognize three regimes of aging for the evolution of
viscosity. The first regime of aging (tw < 0.4teb) where the
viscosity grows at a similar rate as that of the slow translational
relaxation time and the Stokes–Einstein relation is obeyed but
the slow rotational relaxation time grows at a much faster rate,
although short-time rotational diffusion shows a good agreement
with the viscosity. Thesecond regime (0.4teb< tw< 0.75teb) where
the viscosity growth goes beyond the slow translational relaxa-
tion time and the slow rotational relaxation time still remains
much higher than the other two relaxations. In the third regime
(tw> 0.75teb), upon approaching the ergodicity-breaking time,
the structural relaxation time becomes comparable to the slow
rotational relaxation time, however the slow translational
relaxation time still remains considerably lower, signalling an
enhanced translational diffusion compared to rotational diffu-
sion and structural relaxation.
The observed behavior in Fig. 3 represents the central result of
our work and can be understood in light of spatially heteroge-
nous dynamics, i.e., formation of mobile regions in which the
translational (rotational) dynamics of particles are correlated.5
The observation of a stretched exponential for both translational
and orientational correlations points to a broad distribution of
relaxation times supporting the existence of underlying spatially
heterogenous domains. The decrease of the stretching exponents
with waiting time31shows that the width of distribution of
relaxation times also increases with waiting time. Particularly,
the different behavior of translational and the rotational corre-
lations is very interesting and shows that the rotational degree of
freedom becomes glassy at a faster rate. This points to the fact
that translationally correlated mobile regions do not necessarily
correspond to the domains where the rotational motion of
particles are correlated. Indeed, recent measurements of
a monolayer of ellipsoidal particles have revealed that trans-
lational and rotational cooperative motions are anti-correlated
in space and translationally mobile regions correspond to
pseudo-nematic domains where the orientational degree of
freedom is frozen.10
The much slower growth of the translational relaxation time
compared to rotational and structural ones points to an
enhanced translational diffusion that becomes more pronounced
with increasing waiting time. However, one should note that the
average translational diffusion is not simply the inverse of the
average relaxation time because of a broad distribution of
relaxation times. The average translational diffusion that
involves the passage of particles through different domains and is
determined by hs?1i rather than 1/hsi.38
A more quantitative picture for the translational diffusion can
be obtained by extracting the frequency-dependent diffusion
from dynamic light scattering measurements. The frequency-
dependent diffusion can be obtained from the Laplace transform
of intermediate scattering function according to the following
Fitting f(q,t) with eqn (3), we can obtain its Laplace transform
analytically using Mathematica and therefore extract D(q,u).
We can now compare this frequency-dependent diffusion
coefficient with that of a probe particle whose size is much larger
than the Laponite particles. Such large particles probe the global
viscosity, and it has been shown previously that for a probe size
much larger than the Laponite size, the diffusion coefficient of
the probe obeys the Stokes–Einstein relation:42
frequency-dependent complex viscosity that is equal to the bulk
viscosity.32Utilizing the microrheology technique, we obtained

spectrum of displacements, DðuÞ ¼1
In order to compare the diffusion coefficients from micro-
rheology and DLS experiments, we have scaled their values with
the factors 6pRprobeand 12RLaponite, respectively to remove the
trivial dependence of diffusion coefficient on particle size and
shape. In Fig. 4, we have depicted the frequency-dependent
diffusion of Laponite particles and the probe particle at two
different waiting times. At early stages of aging the two diffusion
coefficients agree at high frequencies, while the diffusion of
Laponite particles is significantly lower at low frequencies.
Interestingly, this is in line with our earlier observation of the
agreement of the short-time rotational diffusion with the
viscosity at early stages of aging. For small tw, the viscosity is
at high frequencies has the same value as that measured at
f ¼ 0.05 Hz. This suggests that for high frequencies both Stokes–
Einstein and Stokes–Einstein–Debye relations hold at the early
stages of aging. As the sample ages, this difference becomes
stronger and the two diffusion coefficients no longer coincide at
any frequency. This demonstrates that the diffusion of the larger
particle, i.e. the viscosity, evolves at a faster rate than the
Laponite particles themselves, in line with the results presented
in Fig. 3.
To demonstrate the scale-dependence of diffusion with waiting
time, in Fig. 5, we have plotted the ratio of the scaled diffusion
coefficient of the Laponite particles to the scaled diffusion
coefficient of the probe particle as a function of waiting at a low
u ¼ 21 rad s?1and a high frequency u ¼ 6 ? 106rad s?1. As can
be seem from this figure this ratio is close to 1 at high frequencies
while it grows with waiting time at low frequencies. The
comparison between the two methods clearly shows the devel-
opment of a scale-dependent diffusion coefficient, which in turn
demonstrates the development of a spatially heterogenous
dynamics that becomes more pronounced as the waiting (aging)
time increases. The microrheology measurements, performed
with probe particles of diameters of 0.5 and 1 mm, showed that
beyond 0.5 mm the translational diffusion of probe particles no
longer shows a size-dependence and the Stokes–Einstein relation
is obeyed: the local viscosity measured by micron-sized particles
agrees with that macroscopic viscosity.32This means that at this
length scale the probe is large and slow enough to average out the
influence of dynamical heterogeneity and consequently the
Stokes–Einstein relation is valid.32,42Our findings also agree with
other experiments that investigated the diffusion of tracer
particles of different sizes as a function of waiting time.40,41
Measuring the diffusion of 50, 100 and 200 nm size tracer
particles in aging Laponite suspensions, Strachan et al. found
that their scaled diffusion coefficients are identical at the begin-
ning of aging, however as time proceeds, the correlation func-
tions of the larger tracer particles evolve at a faster rate.40Also in
line with our findings, Petit et al.41investigated the dependence of
translational diffusion on probe size at late stages of aging and
report that the diffusion coefficient becomes independent of
probe size for length scales larger than the interparticle distance.
The developments of scale-dependent diffusion in the later
stages of aging shows that the glass formation is accompanied by
growing dynamic correlation length scales during the aging
similar to the trend found in hard sphere glass suspensions upon
increasing the volume fraction.16The length scale beyond which
there is no scale-dependent diffusion can provide us with an
estimate of the size of the spatially correlated mobile regions in
the sample at late stages of aging. Our results set an upper bound
of 500 nm for the dynamic correlation length. On the other hand,
results of ref. 40 and 41 give us a rough estimate for the size of
dynamical correlation length 100 # xd< 200 nm which is between
3 to 7 particle diameters. Of course, a more systematic study of
probe size-dependent diffusion is required to determine the exact
waiting time-dependence of such a dynamical correlation length.
The growth of the average rotational relaxation time
concomitant with the broadening of the width distribution of
relaxation times suggests that there should be a distinct dynamic
correlation length associated with the characteristic slow time for
the orientational degree of freedom, that also grows with
increasing waiting time. Interestingly, our data show that the
orientational relaxation time at late stages of aging agrees with
the macroscopic viscosity. How the orientational relaxation
depends on the size of probe particle and how the translationally

and rotationally mobile domains develop with waiting time, is an
issue that merits further investigation. However, our data does
support the existence of dynamically heterogenous domains for
both degrees of freedom that are not strongly correlated.
At this point it is instructive to compare our results of aniso-
formers5,43,44where both translational and rotational relaxations
grow concomitant with the increase of viscosity upon super-
cooling. Studies on supercooled liquids have found out that the
rotational correlation time follows the temperature dependence
of the Debye–Stokes–Einstein relation to within a factor of 2 or 3
while the viscosity changes by 12 orders of magnitude43,44upon
cooling. To the contrary, the translational diffusion does not
follow the temperature-dependence expected from Stokes–Ein-
stein relation5,43,44upon decreasing the temperature. Similarly to
what happens for our colloidal glass, in these systems (i) a faster
translational diffusion compared to rotation and (ii) a depen-
dence of the diffusion coefficient on probe-size have been
observed.5Therefore, our observations are qualitatively in
agreement with findings on molecular glass-formers, although as
we study here the waiting-time dependence rather than temper-
ature dependence, some features are particular to our aging
colloidal glass.
To summarize, the observed decoupling between rotational
and translational relaxation times and viscous relaxation, can be
understood in terms of dynamical heterogeneity. Particularly,
our data suggests that the development of heterogenous domains
for translational and orientational degrees of freedom are
distinct in accordance with the recent findings on a glass of
ellipsoidal colloidal suspensions.10The observed behavior of
rotational diffusion at early stages of aging and its strong
decoupling from translational and structural relaxation is
different from the reported measurements in the literature and
requires further experimental and theoretical investigations.

That's quite a store! I'd have to go to three or four places (or drive to Portland) to get that many different brews. We have a weird three-tier distribution system in Oregon that is designed to maximize the distributor's profits and restrict entry by new brands. Things are so tight, that a store's recycling machines won't take "foreign" cans & bottles!
Remember one unassailable statistic, as explained by the late, great George Carlin: "Just think of how stupid the average person is, and then realize half of them are even stupider!"
"I would like to die on Mars, just not on impact." Elon Musk
Glibiddy, just found a source for your buddy Ray's beer - Smoker's Den (or whatever they're calling it now, over in Bennington) has probably a half-dozen of his brews in bombers. Picked up some Slopbucket Double Brown and the Imperial IPA. One of them's a present for the Secret Santa, the other's chilling for my enjoyment.
That little damn store is pretty frickin' incredible.
It's not that the stuff isn't available, it's just that the distributors have a complete lock on things, so you have to go to multiple stores because each store only carries that distributor's beers.
Nice score....I'd hate to see the bill for all of that!
When people ask what I do for a living, I say I brew beer. No, not as a profession, but to live.

Doing the best thing for nesting
Now's the time birds may need a little aid
The best of intentions can lead to tragic consequences when dealing with wild animals.
Wild Bird Rescue Executive Director Lila Arnold said it is nesting time for several species of birds in the area and people may come across a young bird that has fallen or jumped from the nest.
Arnold said if a person sees the nest, it is best to put the bird back in it.
"It's an old wife's tale that birds won't take them back after they smell you on the bird when you touch them. Birds have no sense of smell," she said.
If the nest is destroyed, Arnold said you can make an artificial nest out of a margarine tub or other container, with holes poked in the bottom for drainage.
Put in an old T-shirt, but not a towel because the bird's claws may get caught, and wire it onto the closest branch to where the nest was.
When the birds are just about ready to fly, they jump on their own, or are pushed from the nest by their mothers and spend three to five days on the ground.
During this time, the mother bird is still around and feeds the mostly feathered bird until it can fly.
"This can be the most dangerous time of their lives," said Arnold of the birds, now called fledglings or bush hoppers. They cannot yet fly and may hop into a road or become easy prey for other animals.
Arnold said it is best to leave a fledging where it is unless it is near a road or in danger of being eaten by another creature.
Sometimes people think they are helping these fledglings by taking them inside or taking them to the rescue center.
Arnold said she thinks of these birds as kidnapped because they do not need rescuing and their parent birds are still watching over them.
She said she got a call about a fledgling blue jay that was found on the ground and a man put it into a box, took it into the house and put it by a window.
He said the bird was squawking and he saw a mother bird squawking loudly outside and wondered what he should do.
Arnold told him to turn the bird loose. He did and it quickly hopped onto a bush, then onto the roof and joined its mother.
If a person has a bird that does need rescuing, they should try to get it to the center at 4611 Lake Shore Drive as quickly as possible.
In the meantime, they can keep the bird in a warm, dark quiet place, but Arnold said to not feed the bird or give it water.
Many birds die this way, she said, because they get water in their lungs and develop pneumonia.
"Sometimes it's hard to know how to make the right choice," Arnold said.
She said people can always call the rescue center at 940-691-0828 if they have any questions.

Now that the election buzz is dying down, it's time to start thinking about your local SPJ board of directors. Comprised of six directors and five officers, the board works to improve the state of journalism in New Mexico through various panels and training programs.
If you're a current SPJ member and are interested in running, please send your nomination to email@example.com
Please submit your nominations by November 22, 2014.
Voting will begin on December 1, 2014 and run through December 4, 2014.Voting will be through email.
Still on the fence? Here's what Laura Paskus, our current president had to say about being on the board.
"Since joining the board in 2011, I've learned a great deal, forged important friendships and professional relationships, gotten to know some of the fantastic student journalists in the UNM chapter–and felt like I helped make a difference in New Mexico. (Plus, as former director Staci Matlock said a few years ago: We serve good snacks.)"
Need more? Here are some thoughts from Megan Kamerick, our vice president of communications.
"It's easy to get discouraged these days as a journalist when you see the news of layoffs and turmoil in our industry. And with the fast pace of change in media these days, it's easy to feel like your skills are getting out of date fast. That's why I love being part of SPJ. It keeps me in touch with what's happening in the wider media world. Being on the board brings camaraderie with fellow journalists that I don't necessarily get in my work life in a very small newsroom or working from home. It's very exciting to brainstorm with them about ways to help our fellow journalists do their jobs. We also have a lot of fun."
Below are the descriptions and duties of officer positions.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me or any other board member.

This is one of the first dresses I've ever made based off of my own design. This was also the first time I also played with my own personal style, design wise – making it one of my favorite things in the world.
