Temperature Dependent Variations of Phonon Interactions in Nanocrystalline Cerium Oxide
The temperature dependent anharmonic behavior of the phonon modes of nanocrystalline CeO2 was investigated in the temperature range of 80–440 K. The anharmonic constants have been derived from the shift in phonon modes fitted to account for the anharmonic contributions as well as the thermal expansion contribution using the high pressure parameters derived from our own high pressure experimental data reported previously. The total anharmonicity has also been estimated from the true anharmonicity as well as quasiharmonic component. In the line-width variation analysis, the cubic anharmonic term was found to dominate the quartic term. Finally, the phonon lifetime also reflected the trend so observed.
1. Introduction
CeO2 is a strategic material which has been extensively investigated and has recently been found to be of use in intermediate temperature oxide fuel cells as it easily absorbs and releases oxygen [1]. It also shows enhanced ionic conductivity with temperature [2]. Hence, the investigation of the temperature dependent behavior of CeO2 has gained immense interest. Under ambient conditions, it usually crystallizes in the cubic fluorite structure with space group Fm3m [3]. Nanocrystalline cerium oxide has applications in the coating technology, for example, wood-coating industry [4].
It is well known that an increase in temperature in any material introduces perturbations in the harmonic potential term, which changes the vibrational properties. Temperature affects the population of the different levels for each normal mode instigating the change of the lattice parameters. Any change of the lattice parameters with temperature is attributed to the anharmonicity of the lattice potential. As an effect of the anharmonic interaction, a nonequilibrium phonon population decays into phonons of lower energy or is scattered by thermal phonons into modes of frequencies shifted from their original positions [5]. These anharmonic interactions occur primarily due to the cubic or quartic anharmonicities, resulting in the decaying of an optical phonon into two or three acoustic phonons, respectively, which also decreases their lifetimes. As a consequence, the phonon line position and bandwidth in the Raman spectra of various amorphous or crystalline materials exhibit significant changes with temperature [6–8]. Further, the finite-size effects in nanocrystals are expected to modify the anharmonicity and the phonon decay times. It has also been reported that the anharmonic constants related to the peak widths and peak positions are higher in nanocrystals than in the bulk, implying a greater degree of anharmonicity in nanocrystals [9]. Very few experiments have been carried out to investigate the temperature dependence of Raman mode frequencies and line-widths in nanocrystals [5, 10–12].
Still fewer studies have been carried out on the anharmonic behavior of the CeO2 phonon modes [13–15]. Popović et al. [13] reported that three contributions are involved in the temperature-induced Raman mode frequency shifts of nano-CeO2−y: the thermal expansion, the anharmonic effect, and the phonon frequency change due to the change of nanoparticle size with temperature (confinement effect). It is natural to expect that in nanomaterials the contribution of four-phonon processes should be larger compared to that of the three-phonon processes [11]. However, Spanier et al. [14] reported that phonon coupling is not stronger in the CeO2−y nanoparticle system than that in the bulk counterpart. Consequently, the aim of this work is to examine the temperature-induced changes in the vibrational properties of CeO2, to identify the contribution of volume expansion and anharmonic intermode coupling to the Raman frequency shift, line-width, and the phonon lifetime in CeO2.
In this context, we report the temperature dependent Raman behavior of nanocrystalline CeO2 and its anharmonic constants derived using our previously published high pressure data [16]. We have analyzed the softening of the most dominant mode () in light of the theory of anharmonic phonon-phonon interaction and thermal expansion of the lattice.
2. Characterization at Ambient Conditions
The CeO2 powder used in the present study is a commercially prepared high purity powder from Johnson Matthey Rare Earth Products, UK. The powder was used in the present study in as-received state and was not subjected to any pretreatment and, as per the manufacturer's claims, the common metal impurities are at a ppm level. The characterization of this CeO2 nanopowder under ambient conditions via X-ray diffraction, atomic force microscopy, and Raman spectroscopy has been discussed in detail elsewhere [17]. In brief, the crystalline phase at ambient was found to be cubic. The crystallite size of this cubic CeO2 was found to be 36 nm calculated using Debye-Scherrer relation and about 32 nm from atomic force microscopy. The predominant Raman peak of CeO2 was obtained at 465 cm−1, assigned as mode [17]. In Ceria, the first order Raman active mode is the triply degenerate symmetrical stretching vibration of the CeO8 vibrational unit. In bulk CeO2, there is a single allowed Raman active triply degenerate mode centered at about 465 cm−1. This mode can be viewed as a symmetric breathing vibrational mode of the O ions around each cation [18, 19]. The CeO2 belongs to space group Fm3m (225). This structure has two BCC unit cells and has two acoustic modes and 1 optical mode.
3. Temperature Dependent Raman Studies
The Raman spectra were recorded in the temperature range 80–440 K. The spectra were acquired using Jobin Yvon T64000 triple Raman spectrometer with the 514.5 nm line of the Ar ion laser as the source radiation. The sample temperature was varied using a continuous flow liquid nitrogen cryostat from Janis, model ST-500.
The temperature dependent Raman spectra of CeO2 are given in Figure 1. The spectra show changes in line position, line-width, and intensity with an increase in temperature from 80 K to 440 K. We have focused on temperature dependence of Raman frequency and line-width of the predominant optical phonon in the studied temperature range. With temperature increase, the mode shifts to lower frequencies and the line-width continuously increases. A vertical line on the mode in Figure 1 facilitates the visualization of the extent of shift in said phonon mode.
Hence, the observed results show temperature dependent phonon softening of mode, that is, red shift with progression of temperature. The possible reasons for red shift can be heating and phonon interactions and so forth. Heat causes expansion of the material which leads to frequency decrease. The frequency softening is significant up to a temperature of ~380 K. Above this temperature, the phonon softening is seen to slow down. It may be mentioned here that, as per the reported Debye temperature of 355 K [20, 21], the phonon softening may be said to be slowing down above the Debye temperature. This may be owing to the fact that, above the Debye temperature, the change in specific heat capacity becomes negligible. Figure 2 shows the peak positions observed at 80 K and 440 K which are centered at 468.2 cm−1 and 463.3 cm−1, respectively. The frequency of this mode can be clearly seen to shift to lower energy side and the line-width increases with temperature. In the studied temperature range, the total quantitative softening of the mode amounts to about 5 cm−1. These shifts as well as the line-widths estimated from the "peakfit" software are graphically depicted clearly in Figure 3. It may be interesting to note here that similar to the behavior shown by mode softening the line-width increase also shows a lower slope above about 380 K.
The observed phonon softening of the mode is examined from the theory of anharmonic phonon-phonon interaction and thermal expansion of the lattice. As mentioned, the variation of the frequency of the normal modes with temperature at constant pressure arises from two contributions: pure volume contribution which results from thermal expansion and pure-temperature contribution which results from cubic and quartic anharmonicities (self-energy shift). The cubic and quartic anharmonicities are described by factors which include contributions from three- and four-phonon anharmonic processes [11]. The quasiharmonic term arises from the thermal expansion, while pure-temperature contribution due to cubic and quartic anharmonicities is also termed as intrinsic (true) anharmonicity [9, 12]. Hence,
The quasiharmonic or thermal expansion contribution can be written aswhere (=470.1 cm−1) is the harmonic frequency of mode which is obtained by extrapolating the experimental data down to 0 K. The Grüneisen parameter (=1.28) of the corresponding mode is estimated from our high pressure Raman scattering data reported elsewhere [16] and is the linear thermal expansion coefficient.
The anharmonic contribution which arises from the phonon-phonon interaction due to the cubic and quartic terms in the interatomic potential can be written as
The first term estimates the coupling of an optical phonon to two low-energy phonons (three-phonon process); the second term is due to the coupling of three phonons (four-phonon process), and and are the fitting parameters. We have also calculated the total anharmonicity of mode as a function of temperature using the following equation [22]:
The first term of the right hand side describes the true anharmonic contribution and the second quasiharmonic term. As mentioned, the resultant frequency shift may be either positive or negative depending on the relative magnitudes of the anharmonic terms in the interatomic potential. At lower temperatures, the main contribution to the softening is due to the positive quartic anharmonicity.
In Figure 4, we have shown the fitted experimental data points (solid circles) by using (1). The fitting parameters obtained for the present case using the above equations are given in Table 1. From the fitting parameters given in the table, it is clear that coefficients and both are negative thus explaining the phonon softening. However, coefficient dominates over indicating that three-phonon processes or cubic anharmonicity is contributing significantly to the overall softening observed. It is also seen that the true anharmonic term dominates, albeit slightly, over the quasiharmonic term.
A comparison of these coefficients with those obtained by Dohcevic-Mitrovic et al. [15] and Popović et al. [13] reveals that, in CeO2−y nanocrystals, although a dominance of four-phonon process was observed in the high temperature range by these researchers, however, we have found significant contribution from three-phonon process to the anharmonicity. Our results differ as we have observed a behavior in nanocrystalline CeO2 which has been reported for polycrystalline CeO2 [13]. It is understood that, in small particles of pure and doped ceria nanocrystals, when size effects have minor impact on Raman modes, four-phonon anharmonic processes prevail [9, 15]. However, when nanopowdered particles are grown enough, the size effects provoke changes of the anharmonic interactions whereby three-phonon coupling prevails over the four-phonon anharmonic processes.
The line-width of the mode was also studied as a function of temperature in the 80–440 K range, which, as expected, increased with temperature as shown in Figure 3. The FWHM of the mode increases from 4.85 cm−1 at 80 K to 11.43 cm−1 at 440 K. Hence, the line-width increases with temperature by about 6.58 cm−1.
The experimental peaks of real materials exhibit an intrinsic width which has contributions from factors such as the finite resolution of the spectrometer and impurities/defects which disturb the translation symmetry of the harmonic crystal [22, 23] apart from the anharmonic decay of the phonons. The thermal expansion is a manifestation of the lattice anharmonicity that has its own shifts in the frequency, but not on the line-width [23]. Hence, considering that other effects due to impurities, defects, and spectrometer are constants for a particular sample, the line-width variation would reflect the anharmonic decay of phonons. The temperature dependent phonon line-width is then written as [24]where is the harmonic line-width independent of temperature and it is caused by defects, including isotopic mixture; the second part of the equation is the damping part induced due to the three- and four-phonon process cubic and quartic anharmonicities, respectively.
Figure 5 shows the fitting to the experimental points using (5). A good agreement can be seen between the calculated curve, given by the solid line, and the experimental points. For the present case, the parameters in (5) are cm−1 and and are anharmonic constants where and . It may be mentioned here that coefficients and are complementary to coefficients and which were used to estimate the contribution of anharmonicity to the phonon frequency shift. The positive coefficients describe the increase in line-width with an increase in temperature. The factors calculated using (5) are listed in Table 2.
In this context, it may be pertinent to mention that the Klemens [25] model for the line-width assumed that the contribution to the line-width arises only from the decay of the optical phonon into two acoustic phonons of the same frequency and opposite momentum [3]. Balkanski et al. [11] calculated the change in line-width and line center for silicon using cubic and quartic anharmonicity and found good agreement between theory and experiment. However, it has also been reported that [18] the temperature dependence of the line-width of crystalline CeO2 can be explained completely with consideration of only the cubic anharmonic term of the crystal potential energy and is governed by the phonon occupation number. In our case, although the cubic anharmonic term is predominant, the contribution from four-phonon process is not negligible.
In addition, changes in the line-width of the phonon in Raman and infrared spectra can be used as an indirect measurement for estimating the lifetime of strongly interacting optical phonons. The line-width of a Raman mode is inversely proportional to its lifetime, and anharmonic line-widths (lifetimes) increase (decrease) with increase in temperatures. The estimated lifetime can be calculated by , where is the velocity of light and is the FWHM of the mode [23]. Phonon lifetime is 2.1 ps at 80 K and 0.92 ps at 440 K for the phonon of CeO2. The variation of the decay time of the phonon with increase in temperature has thus been estimated and is shown in Figure 6. The discontinuity in slope observed at about 380 K is again detectable in the figure.
4. Conclusions
The behavior of the optical phonon of nanocrystalline cubic CeO2 as a function of temperature is investigated via Raman spectroscopy. The optical mode of CeO2 shows phonon softening with increasing temperature up to 440 K. This phenomenon arises from dominating cubic phonon-phonon interaction and line-width broadening in the temperature range 80 to 440 K. The temperature dependent data analysis reveals that this mode is a combination of quasiharmonic and true anharmonic terms wherein the latter has a higher contribution to the total anharmonicity. The three-phonon process dominated the four-phonon process. The lifetime of the first-order optical mode is found to decrease with increasing anharmonicity. An observable discontinuity in the slopes of the phonon softening and the line-width curves is seen at around 380 K.

For all the time you spent in New Guinea, you seemed not to have made any
connection with the locals. A little anthropology would have corrected that
deficiency in you. No doubt, you played the role of the ugly American (or
was it "ugly Australian") there just as you are playing that role here.
There is probably nothing wrong with you that a little civilization
(culture) would not cure. I have spent most of my life listening to the
music of Beethoven. That would be a good place for you to begin.
Well, the usual "project" would have from 1,000 to 3,000 locals
working on it and strange as it may seem, we took a very great
interest in the "troops". We supplied a Doctor and medical staff to
treat them. We provided food and good water and ensured that it was
properly distributed. We supplied safety gear, and we even provided
entertainment. We showed two movies a week and they came in hordes.
Some non employees walked for several days to "go to the movies".
Just a work place environment where you and yours ruled.
But how would one not interact. there is you, maybe one other
foreigner, 4 Javanese, and 3,000 locals?
You needed to go to their villages and see how they lived away from you. And
maybe wander about the island a bit on foot so as to get the flavor of the
place. But, unlike David Diamond ("Guns, Germs and Steel"), you had neither
the wit nor the wisdom to see the world as they saw it. You might as well
have stayed in the States (or is it Australia) for all the good it ever did
Oh, by the way, your knowledge of English literature, as it is in
other fields, somewhat lacking. You see, in the book, the "Ugly
American" was the good guy.
No one reads a trash book like that except the uninformed who think it is
"literature". The reference was to the movie. Marlon Brando always struck me
as an ugly guy. I am sure you were too.
What are your credentials for commenting on wilderness and wilderness
values? Because you poked your head into the jungle of New Guinea, however
briefly? Give me a break! What you lack above all else is a spiritual
grounding in the eternal verities of life on this earth for mankind. That is
something that both Mr. Vandeman and I are expert at due to our pastimes of
taking a walk in the woods. The delight and wonderment of that will forever
escape you because you are a barbarian. Only folks of high culture and
civilized knowledge know anything about the values of wilderness. Your New
Guinea savages know nothing but how to survive in it. That is apparently the
extent of your knowledge too.
Anyone who runs away from a settled area to live in a wilderness is an
idiot. The TV channels are full of programs that are about fools like that.
Such folks are crazy and are to be pitied more than condemned. But **** 'em
anyway! My patience for suffering fools was long ago exhausted.
So, here we have the brilliant and resourceful Dooley who worships a
doctor who has no doctorate and knows nothing about American
Literature and who's sole knowledge seems to be that a bicycle has
So says an engineer and an overseer who is little better than a savage
Quite obviously an ignoramus who has seized on one tiny bit of
information and now exhibits his "knowledge" for all to see.
I know that single track trails in wilderness are for walking, not for the
sport of mountain biking. That is one hell of a lot more than you know.
Mountain bikes have wheels. Wheels are for roads.
Trails are for walking. What's the matter? Can't walk?

What's Next For 'The Walking Dead's' Steven Yeun and Michael Cudlitz?
Published on October 27th, 2016 | Updated on October 27th, 2016 | By FanFest
It's been nearly a week since the brutal season premiere of The Walking Dead and we're still trying to process the fact that Steven Yeun and Michael Cudlitz will no longer be a part of the show. But fret not, because these two gentlemen's careers are moving on to equally bigger things.
Steven's next project is the film Okja – which we first reported back in April – from Snowpiercer director Bong Joon-ho, about a girl who befriends a genetically manufactured pig of the same name. Starring Tilda Swinton, Jake Gyllenhaal, and Paul Dano, the film is set to stream on Netflix, with the release date to be determined. He also has a voice role in Netflix and Dreamworks's animated series Trollhunters which will stream on December 23rd and is currently in postproduction on another animated series from Image Comics, Chew, about a "cibopath" detective named Tony Chu, who gets psychic impressions from whatever he eats. Co-starring Felicia Day, Chew is set in a world where bird meats are illegal after bird flu killed millions of Americans. Yeun will later star in the indie action thriller Mayhem, from the production banner behind The Walking Dead, Circle of Confusion, as attorney Derek Saunders, who is framed by a co-worker and fired on the same day that a virus capable of making people act out their wildest impulses infects the office. Trapped in the quarantined building, Saunders is forced to fight for both his job and his life. No release dates for Chew or Mayhem have been set as of yet either.
Meanwhile, Michael is set to have a recurring role on the HBO series Ballers, starring Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson. He also has a top-secret project in the works, with a formal announcement expected to come soon.
Correction: Michael has tweeted that his recurring role on Ballers occurred during the first season.

Dubito ergo cogito; cogito ergo sum. (I doubt, therefore I think; I think therefore I am
Existence can mean several things. The existence of big foot or the Loch Ness monster has not been proven yet, even though many people search for these mysterious creatures. This term can also mean how you exist and live on a daily basis. If you live off the grid then your existence is very basic and limited, without electricity or running water provided by a local authority.
Dubito ergo cogito; cogito ergo sum. (I doubt, therefore I think; I think therefore I am
Our creator did not create our raw material, but manipulated that which already existed
Assume that everything is broken, and that which actually does works is in the process of returning to a non functional state
The existence of a man is so small a thing to take, so mighty a thing to employ
The period of earthly life in your greater existence is similar to the 15 minutes of fame you get down here...Everyone gets to share you in a different way. And both are dreams
No one would choose a friendless existence on condition of having all other things in the world
I have learned that human existence is essentially tragic. It is only the love of God, disclosed and enacted in Christ, that redeems the human tragedy and makes it tolerable. No, more than tolerable. Wonderful
For if I try to seize this self of which I feel sure, if I try to define and to summarize it , it is nothing but water slipping through my fingers...This very heart which is mine will forever remain indefinable to me
For all of us who are alive, life is the real issue. Yet so often we judge our existence by the things that happen to us—by whether things are going our way or not. Sometimes we feel strong—strong enough to dictate our future. Sometimes we feel that we can make things happen. Then there are times when we feel totally helpless. But through all the dramas and bumps, there is life. There is the very powerful, very existence of every single human being
The entire sum of existence is the magic of being needed by just one person

Nov. 27, 2002 -- From stuffed animals with tiny parts, to sparkly nail polish with toxic chemicals, the holiday gift you pick up for children could pose hidden hazards, a new consumer report says.
There were over a quarter of a million toy-related injuries and 25 toy-related deaths last year, according to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.
To help parents spot potential dangers on the shelves, the United States Public Interest Research Group (U.S. PIRG) released its 17th annual list of potentially hazardous toys this week, with everything from excessively loud toy phones to a "special agent" dart gun making the list.
"Parents should not assume all toys are safe," Jen Thompson, U.S. PIRG's consumer advocate told Good Morning America. "While most manufacturers comply with the law, they should examine the products carefully, look for dangers — and think about how a child would play with the toy."
One of the top dangers for children, under age three or even as old as six, is potentially choking on small parts included in toys. A small part is anything that does not fit through a "choking tube," designed to see if something would get caught in a child's airway. For instance, the Sully and Boo doll from Disney was recalled this month because of its small parts. (More details on model below.) Disney is the parent company of ABCNEWS.com.
Another dangerous category of toys is balloons, which also create a choking hazard.
"Of all the choking deaths last year, balloons caused the most because children try to blow it up, but inhale it, and it gets stuck in the airway," Thompson said. Balloons should come with a warning that they should not be sold to children under 8, she said.
Hidden Toxins
Small balls or other round objects also create a choking hazard because they can completely fill a child's airway.
Toys made with poly vinyl chloride often have a chemical called phthalates added to soften them.
"The problem is that they are not bound to the poly vinyl," Thompson said. "They leak out. If children put it into their mouth at high levels there's a risk. Studies linked it to reproduction problems and liver and kidney damage."
Noisy toys should also be left on the shelf. Products that make noise beyond 85 decibels can cause hearing loss, with repeated exposure.
Here are the results of the 2002 Public Interest Research Group's list of potentially hazardous toys, from its report, Trouble in Toyland. To get more toy-buying tips, and the full report, go to http://www.toysafety.net/
Contains Small Parts
The following contain small parts that fit inside a "choke tube" designed to spot toys that could create a choking hazard for children under 3 or as old as 6. Some of the products also do not have a Child Safety Protection Act (CSPA) choke hazard warning.
Parents can improvise a choke tube by using an empty toilet paper roll. If a toy fits easily inside the cardboard tube, it is a potential choking hazard for children.
Sully and Boo Doll, Item #DN 18602, Bar Code, 41202224048. Disney; The Disney Store, $19.50. (This item was recalled Nov. 2002. PIRG knows of no other hazards with any Sully or Monsters, Inc. product currently available.)

Donald Trump's comments on Muslims living in the United States have been perhaps his most controversial. The moment he released his statement saying that the U.S. should stop all Muslims from entering the country, pundits claimed his campaign dead on-the-spot.
Of course, that never actually happened. If anything, Trump's popularity among his supporters has only grown since the statement. Still, many assumed that the comments wouldn't play well to the Muslim population.
If a recent post on Reddit is any indication, however, the opposite may be true. A young woman who had her entire life witnessed the extremism within the Muslim community not only refuses to be offended by Trump's comments, but has come out and said that he is right to be suspicious.
She goes even further, as she endorsed Trump when he was a presidential candidate, claiming his knowledge of the Muslim movement is far more connected to reality than that of any of the other remaining candidates.
To see why she made this decision, continue reading on the next page:

Juileann & Luke
Julieann, 21, from Westmeath is looking for a country boy who's "well able to pull a lamb," and is teamed up with 23-year-old Luke – a real catch from a fishing village in County Down. For his part, Luke says he loves "a redhead and red lipstick" and is very happy when Juileann is horrified at the thoughts of having a vegan meal.
From the off, these two are smitten with each other, bonding over their blind Cocker Spaniels and Manchester United. It's not long before the pair are discussing second dates, with Luke teasing Julieann about whether she'll be teaching him "how to ride." A horse, that is. It's no surprise they both say yes to another date. We hope Luke doesn't get scared when we watches this back and sees Juileann in the bathroom telling her sister she's "found a husband."
Amanda & Sean
There's a collective "awww" in living rooms across the country when 55-year-old Amanda from Clonmel says she doesn't think she's ever been in love. "This is the time I need to start taking chances," she says. It's a good match for Sean, 56, from Carlow who's going into The Gibson with the mantra of "feel the fear and do it anyway."
Sean, who volunteers with the Samaritans, has recently gone back to college to study Counselling and Psychotherapy, while Amanda is living alone for the first time in her life after all her children and grandchildren have moved out. She's looking for love, which she describes as the feeling of both head and heart being "quiet, at peace." Referee Sean is slow to show his cards at the end of the date, trying to get Amanda to go first when it comes to the dread "would you like to go on another date?" question. Thankfully, a beaming Amanda says she would too.
Marina & Kori
Happy-go-lucky Marina is looking for someone with "an open mind" and finds it in former figure skater Kori. Prior to her first date, the Portland lady says she would be most interested to know whether her potential partner has "been to therapy." Don't we all?
The date starts with 30-year-old Kori apologising for being an American, and confessing her dad is a Trump supporter who watches Fox News and votes for people who would like to see "her rights taken away." For her part, Marina from Clondalkin shares that her dad is very supportive of her bi-identiy and lets Kori in on how the Central Bank is a popular meeting place for "the gays."
When it comes to a second-date, though, Kori isn't sure. "I feel like we'd be real good buds." Marina admits she would have said yes, but doesn't seem too upset that Kori wants to remain friends only. As she tells the cameras, "you never know… feel

Incredibly Unique & Contemporary Ashburn Kitchen & Addition
This remodel was executed during the global pandemic. All CDC health and safety guidelines were followed by the homeowners and members of the MOSS team.
Our team was challenged to install the massive center island countertop, a Taj Mahal quartzite stone in one slab, without damaging it or other parts of the home. With the help of many strong individuals, the countertop was transported and carefully installed without issue. The care and attention to details such as these are a true testimony to the professionals who work for and with MOSS.

Many from across Redstone Arsenal participated in a virtual version of Read Across America this month.
The National Education Association started Read Across America in 1998. Even though it's a year-round event, emphasis is usually placed on the program in March, which is National Reading Month. The goal, of course, according to the NEA, is to motivate children and teens to read.
"It was great having so much support from all of our tenant organizations here at Redstone," Erica Lewis, school liaison officer at Redstone, said. "We even had a few volunteer readers to dress up and get into character for their readings. It was great to have so much cooperation for such a great cause."
Normally, volunteers would visit local schools to read to children, but this year participants read children's books on camera. Those videos were then distributed via YouTube and the Defense Visual Information Distribution Service to teachers throughout the community.
"I think the pandemic has taught us that we have to be flexible and adapt to situations beyond our control," Lewis said. "Although our volunteer readers were not able to go to the schools as they have done in years past, I felt it was still important to continue having our volunteers read but to do it in a safe, fun way.
"COVID-19 has slowed down a lot of aspects of our daily lives but it has also allowed us to awaken our creativity. In doing Read Across America, we wanted to show our support for our local schools and let students know that reading can be fun."
Garrison Commander Col. Glenn Mellor and Command Sgt. Maj. Juan Jimenez also participated in a special reading event at the Mills Road Child Development Center, which included a visit from The Cat in the Hat.
You can find a playlist on YouTube at https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL4gH2218AGhAFAB6jlA-LgdSTH829o3Di and a DVIDS playlist at www.dvidshub.net/feature/ReadAcrossAmerica.
The NEA has a number of resources available on their website at www.nea.org/professional-excellence/student-engagement/read-across-america.
"I'd like to thank everyone who participated in this year's Read Across America event," Lewis said. "Each and every one of you made the event a success!"

Regional News of Wednesday, 30 September 2020

Samuel Kodzosika, Independent Parliamentary Candidate of the Kpando Constituency, has organised vocational training for more than thousand youth in the Municipality.
The training, through cake making, textiles, cosmetics, detergents, antiseptics, pastries, bakery, ice cream, local drinks and beads craft, was organised in batches for the various communities to make them self-reliant.
Speaking at one of the graduation ceremonies in Dzewoe, Mr Kodzosika said he believed in empowering the youth so they could impact their communities and that those who couldn't further their education needed to be empowered to learn a vocation.
The independent parliamentary candidate says he has embarked on a campaign to assist the youth in the Municipality by equiping them with entrepreneurial opportunities to enrich themselves.
Mr Kodzosika says MPs have 70 percent power to influence their constituents positively which according to him, most of them are refusing to do so.
Mr Kodzosika alledged that all MPs have been provided with funds to help artisans in their various Constituencies but these funds never get to the people.

New Sibel Edmonds Interview + Griffin Update
Campaign coffers profit from 9/11, coke and courts
"Judge Ginsberg said 'I am asking the plaintiff and her attorneys to stand outside;' then they had government officers standing at the door to prevent anyone from listening. And after about 25 minutes, they came out and said 'we have finished questioning the government attorneys and we don't need you anymore, so you are free to leave,' " said the crestfallen former translator.
"I cannot be present at my own hearing; and not a single paper was there Thursday to cover the story--even though all of my allegations were supported by the FBI Inspector General's report and my case involves 9/11 and national security," said Sibel Edmonds.
open thread
welp, the DVD didnt come in today.. so im assuming it will be monday.. unfortunately i will be out of town mon-wed.. i can have someone upload it for me probably, but ive got to figure all that out still..

David Ray Griffin related stuff
the audio from the recent appearance by David Ray Griffin was posted tonight by piratevideo.tv.. apparently they are working on compressing a recording of it from the local TV station.. you can download that mp3 here..
also, for those of you who are unfamiliar with David Ray Griffin, and his previous appearances, i highly suggest watching his lecture from October 2004, you can download that hour long video here (multiple formats available here)..
David Ray Griffin Madison Talk DVD on the way!?
Just got off the phone with a group that recorded the David Ray Griffin speach up in Madison last week.. since apparently CSPAN has decided not to air the segment this weekend I figured it would make sense to go ahead and get my hands on a copy.
thanks to the help of this group i should have the DVD in my hands tommorrow. i will be ripping this DVD (to the best of my ability) to DiVX as soon as i get it and sharing it on this blog.. anyone with some expertise in this area feel free to send me tips or suggestions.
so in other words, keep your eyes peeled, the David Ray Griffin speech is on its way, even without CSPAN!
New info on Karl Schwarz's upcoming article and 2 links
Well, the rumor mill has it that Karl Schwarz is writing a part 7 to his 'Pop Goes the Bush Mythology Bubble' series, and that in it he proves definitively that the plane which hit the south tower was a 737, not a 767, which in turn proves the government has been lying.
Reading this writeup about Karl Schwarz and his new article just adds to the anticipation for this article's release.. keep your fingers crossed that his research and report live up to the hype!
here is the link and a quote to whet your appetite:

bah.. does anyone really know anything about 9/11 out there? i mean, do a search on 'pre 9/11', 'post 9/11', 'since 9/11', etc. etc. we all hear 9/11 everyday, its the most popular phrase in the media ever, but noone knows anything about the events and the questions that remain to be answered..
at least gingrich appologized to canada, that really matters.. bah.

ACLU Challenges Government's Use of Secrecy to Avoid Accountability in National Security Whistleblower Case
here is a follow up article from today about Sibel Edmonds' case which is being held in private.
"The Justice Department's own Inspector General has now concluded publicly that the FBI fired Edmonds for reporting agency misconduct," said Ann Beeson, Associate Legal Director of the ACLU, who argued on behalf of Edmonds today. "Clearly the FBI is using secrecy not to protect national security but to avoid accountability for its own mistakes."

The owner of this site does not advocate all of the material contained in these videos but rather provides them for those intrested in the subject matter contained in them.

The animation below details how and why we will be ensuring our doors are well and truly flung open to all. It was developed by the theatre's Inclusion Action Group.

Information for Academic Advisors
Academic advising plays an essential role in the development of students as self-directed learners and in their academic success at the university. Rarely are advisors called upon to enter approval: only for underloads or overloads. Instead, advisors ask pertinent questions, clarify options, and help students make informed choices as they plan their programs of study. Advisors also help to connect students with resources at the university that can help them with their academic or non-academic concerns. In the senior year, advisors certify that major requirements have been met for degree completion.
This page provides general information for academic advisors. More information, including some updated departmental advising guides, can be found in the Academic Advising Handbook. Advising guides for students can be found in the Academics menu under Academic Advising (for new students) and Areas of Study (about specific departments and programs).
