Part of the game in shaping public opinion hinges on controlling thought. We all think in the language of words, so shaping what words are incorporated into our thought process can go an unbelievably long way in shaping opinion. One case in point is the use of the word "piracy" to describe copyright infringement with regard to movies, music, television, and books.
It goes something like this:
1. Those who represent rights holders spit the word piracy at you over and over and over and over and over again for years.
2. As a result, those on both sides of the debate, whether they intend to or not, begin to use the word "piracy" when describing infringement, either vocally or in thought.
3. Our mind inherently associates piracy with, well, what true piracy is: theft, murder, rape, pillage. Hence, those without the necessary background and forethought tend to allow that association to influence their thought and opinions.
Two things that are instructive in examination:
First, whilst true piracy (as in, on the high seas) has little to nothing to do with monopolies, the very coining of the term for use in this alternative fashion is credited to the Stationer's Company, a British corporation that was granted a monopoly on publication. The use of the term "piracy" to describe those that violated their charter was first used in 1603, when the threat of true piracy was very real indeed. This is a clear attempt to link through words in the minds of the general public two unrelated problems, thereby damning the lesser of the issues by linking it to one that creates true fear and anger.
Second, given that historical context, the ridiculousness continues today. One of the sites I use to look up new stories regarding copyright infringement and media legal stories is www.buzztracker.com. If you search that site for the term "music piracy", you get a nice spread of stories covering both true piracy and copyright infringement. For instance, when I ran that term today, the stories that came back were:
1. Police Arrest Several In File-Sharing Swoop (copyright infringement)
2. If you cry, they want to kill you (Somalian Piracy)
3. Grandma Endures Wrongful ISP Piracy Suspension (copyright infringement)
4. EU mission alone cannot solve piracy problem, says admiral (True Piracy)
There is no conceivable reason why stories 1 & 3 should be anywhere near stories 2 & 4, either in our words and thoughts (as designed by those trying to shape public opinion), or in a search return (an unintended consequence of that shaping). To link the two is silly.
But to try and use such psychological trickery to shape the minds of the masses rather than deal with the problem proactively and honestly? That's just downright evil....

Today I went to the market stall in Bethnal Green that I love so hard (they sell old-season stock from All Saints from time to time, which I invariably buy up), and I ended up buying a salmon slip dress, a grey sweater with a pussy bow and a powder-blue one-shoudered top with a Goddamn frill. Holy fuck, what is happening to me? Am I just producing a lot of estrogen at the moment, or what? Have my ovaries suddenly swollen up like tonsilitis glands? I mean admittedly, I've always favoured a mini over trousers, and when I'm not in leather and uniform black t-shirts I do enjoy wearing fur coats and stockings and very high heels and all that bullshit, but I'd always thought of the style of femininity that I am occasionally seduced by as "drunk society girl circa 1969", rather than (God forbid!) that of a Cosmopolitan-clutching, hunk-baiting "Scary Sadshaw" type. In my defense, the items in question were three quid apiece, but the fact still remains - I think I might finally be becoming a woman, and I don't mean that in the euphemistic way that they use it in Young Adult fantasy novels (that ship left the harbour some time ago).
(I should probably let you know that I am really into the idea of sending and recieving parcels right now (Parcelforce is the only thing I will stagger out of bed for with a hangover), so if anyone wants to indulge me in that, holla.)

Chinese chicken salad is just like those salads you get at the restaurants with the oranges and cashews and the lovely balance of crunchy and tender and sweet and savory.
This Chinese chicken salad is described by the author, Joanne Chang, as "crunchy, tart, healthy, filling, spicy, and sweet with a complex and savory charm." We couldn't agree more. We'd also like to add "just like those restaurant versions of Chinese chicken salad" and "addictive as heck" and "easy to toss together on a weeknight."–Angie Zoobkoff
Chinese Chicken Salad
- Quick Glance
- Serves 4
- For the Chinese chicken salad
- 1 medium garlic clove, smashed
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 seedless oranges, such as navel, thinly sliced or supremed*
- 1 head romaine lettuce, shredded
- 2 medium celery stalks, thinly sliced
- 1 cup roasted, lightly salted cashews or peanuts
- 4 or 5 scallions (1/2 cup), white and green parts thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- For the dressing
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- Scant 1/4 cup lightly packed light brown sugar
- 1 to 2 tablespoons store-bought or Homemade Sriracha
- 2 tablespoons unseasoned rice vinegar
- 2 teaspoons peeled and finely chopped fresh ginger
- Make the Chinese chicken salad
- 1. Place the garlic and chicken in a medium saucepan and add enough water to cover. Place over high heat and bring to a boil. Immediately turn off the heat, cover the pan, and let the chicken poach until cooked through and no trace of pink remains when you cut into the thickest part, 12 to 15 minutes. Remove the chicken from the water, let it cool and then shred or cube it into bite-size pieces. (The cooled chicken can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 2 days in advance.)
- 2. In a large bowl, combine the chicken, romaine, celery, cashews, scallions, and cilantro. Season with the salt and pepper.
- Make the dressing
- 3. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, olive oil, brown sugar, Sriracha, vinegar, and ginger.
- Serve the Chinese chicken salad
- 4. Pour about 3/4 of the dressing over the salad and toss well to combine. Divvy the salad among 4 serving bowls. Top with the orange slices and serve immediately, passing the remaining dressing on the side.
*How to Supreme an Orange
- To supreme oranges, first cut the skin and pith off the fruit and then use a small sharp knife to cut between the flesh and the membrane on each side of the orange segment. Each orange segment should fall away from the membrane easily. Repeat until all of the orange flesh has been removed.

The use of the SEO system is considered important especially for the web that is run for businesses and companies to increase selling power so that it is easily known and accessed by the wider community. As is known in a search engine like Google, there are thousands of sites that are connected to the keywords written in the search column. Of these thousands of sites, SEO systems filter content that best matches the keywords typed. The better the web in paying attention to the SEO system more easily located on the main page of search engines. Here are some advantages of using an SEO system. Apart from that, visit Charles Brian International if you need to improve the sales of your online business.
Always on the Search Engine Home Page
Society in this modern era demands a fast and practical work so that when they look for something they want and write it in the search engine search field then the web in the front page is mostly selected. From 100%, 75% of the public will only open the first page and the rest just open the next page. Therefore, to maintain a web so that it is on the front page of a search engine, it requires an SEO system rules.
Easy to be Known by Society
As said before that people often just open the first page on search engines. So that the web is emblazoned on the main page will be easily recognizable by the community. Obviously the more known by the public will increase the selling power of the web so that it will provoke advertisements to appear on the web.
Increased credibility and quality
SEO system is not a system that is easily penetrated because of strict selection so that the web based on the SEO system has been tested and has a credibility and high quality. thus it will be easy to attract people's desire when opening the web. Community trust is the most important because it will affect the number of entrants on the web.

Telecom Stocks Sag After Sprint-T-Mobile Merger Talks Reportedly End
- Author: Darren Santiago Oct 31, 2017,
Oct 31, 2017, 0:34
And T-Mobile has been concerned about price, specifically ratio of shares, relates Faber.
Shares in Sprint and T-Mobile fell sharply Monday following a Japanese media report that merger talks between the third- and fourth-largest wireless operators had been called off. Meanwhile, several members of SoftBank's board have raised concerns about giving up control of the USA wireless business, another person said. While SoftBank initially approved this setup, the company's board decided at a meeting Friday that they would not give up control after all.
However, Faber says sources at T-Mo tell him the company "continue to have talks with counterparts on the Sprint side", and that today's Nikkei report was a "surprise" to them.
Assuming that the report is true, it signals the end of months of rumors about a potential merger between the two networks.
Iraqi forces seize city of Kirkuk from Kurds
But the vote crossed a red line in the region, where countries say a unilateral redrawing of the borders can never be permitted. The status of Kirkuk and fate of the Kurds were left unsettled 14 years ago when a US-led invasion toppled Saddam.
Deutsche Telekom and T-Mobile declined to comment.
SoftBank could approach Deutsche Telekom, T-Mobile's owner, as early as Tuesday to propose ending the negotiations, Nikkei reported.
A merger between Sprint and T-Mobile would have created a company with more than 130 million US subscribers, just behind Verizon Communications Inc VZ.N and AT&T Inc T.N . Under former President Barack Obama's administration, officials fended off a previous attempt by SoftBank to merge Sprint with T-Mobile. SoftBank and DT had previously agreed to a framework that would've combined the two carriers, but the sticking point comes at the ownership share each would hold.

Eva's Reading List
Bel Canto by Ann Patchett
This was one of my very first mooches, since I think I'm the only one in the blogging community that hasn't read it yet! It keeps calling me from the bookshelf, but I've been distracted by challenge reads. It's time to make time to see what all the fuss is about. :)
A Morbid Taste for Bones by Ellis Peters
I mooched this, because it sounded like a great mystery! I'm always ready to discover another good series.
That Night by Alice McDermott
I mooched this after a good review by litlove (I think it was litlove). It's a skinny read, but I'm looking forward to it.
Kim by Rudyard Kipling
I recently realised that the last Kipling I read was that mongoose story in 7th grade. Shame on me. Plus, I have to include at least one classic in the list!
The Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follett
The heft of this one makes up for the slimness of the McDermott. A friend recommended this to me, and I'm very excited to actually get around to it. My bookmooched copy is just gorgeous!
The Stolen Child by Keith Donahue
I didn't mooch this one; instead, I bought it when I saw it in paperback, because I was so excited. For some reason I thought it was still in hardcover!
Well, that sums up the plans. This month, I'm hoping to read A Morbid Taste for Bones-I'll post the review when I'm done!

Oh, I love Kim. I hope you enjoy it, too!

I just mooched "A Morbid Taste for Bones" as well! I had read a lot of Ellis Peters when I was much younger, but when I wanted to dive into the series again at the beginning, I found that we had given away our lovely copy of the first book to someone. The one I mooched has the cheesiest possible cover - it looks like something from a low-budget production of "Camelot." Still, simply being in possession of the book again fills me with glee.
By the way, I think it is a lovely idea to organize the challenge around too long neglected mooches/acquisitions.
- September 7, 2007 at 11:10 AM
- Eva said...
Poodlerat, I'm happy that you enjoyed Kim! I don't really know anything about it, so it should be interesting. :)
Pour of Tor, my cover's pretty interesting-it's stained glass window style. I figured if I didn't organise the challenge around too long neglected acquisitions, I'd just go get more books!

I LOVED the Stolen Child. I own it in hardcover, got it as a gift. I haven't read any of your other books so I look forward to the reviews.

- Booklogged said...
Nice list, Eva. I listened to A Morbid Taste of Bones a couple years ago and really enjoyed it and several other books in that series.
I started Bel Canto for a f2f bookclub, but didn't finish it. I liked it, I just didn't finish in time for the meeting and haven't pushed myself to finish because there were too many others books 'chirping' at me.
- September 14, 2007 at 7:07 PM
- Eva said...
Callista, ohh-glad to see a vote for The Stolen Child! I'm planning to read it next month, since it seems appropriate for Halloween.
Booklogged, I understand the 'too many books chirping' phenomenon! (that's a great verb choice, btw) That's why I like challenges-the extra incentive of 'striking' through the book title helps me finish it!

text: Flying Solo: 7 ways to market your business without feeling like a jerk - Flying Solo In summary: Make your marketing about your customer, not about you Use your marketing to educate and empower your audience Expand your audience's horizons Get your message in front of the right eyeballs Be credible (but not bashful) Let others tell the story for you Make a concrete commitment My view: Quite a good article really, quite a bit of useful detail I think. I do find myself struggling with the last part: "marketing messages that are wishy-washy make us feel like we're on shifty ground. From the perspective of the business owner, the underlying issue is often that we're afraid to go out on a limb and commit to something in case we can't follow through. Unfortunately though, that reticence doesn't come across as caution to the reader; instead it has the effect of making us feel that the truth is being obscured in some way." I have caught myself under committing because of fear I won't be able to follow through and I can see how that can come across as being evasive.

Wellness Cost Containment Strategies
Are you looking for health care cost-containment strategies that won't stress the health of your organization? The level of concern regarding health care costs among top decision makers in organizations of all sizes is the highest experienced in the past seven years. With the expectation that costs will continue to rise, employers are looking for alternative ways to reduce costs rather than increasing cost sharing, trimming employee benefits, or eliminating health insurance for employees altogether.

Capital's Summertime Ball 2015
Global put on massive event, and nothing compares to Capital's Summertime Ball. It is one of the things I enjoyed working on the most when I was Head of Production at Capital. The sheer size, scale and sex appeal of the entire event is astonishing.
My favourite bit though? Making the Show Opener to play to 80,000+ people at Wembley Stadium.
Around the time I chucked this video up on Instagram, with a quick scroll through the Pro Tools session, a shot of Waves PAZ Frequency Analyser (keep that bass in check) and a shot of it playing on the big screens.
It'll be another massive event this year, with another great opener – it's a tough one to mix because it's in such an open air environment at such a high volume. Getting a great mix on something like this is such a great challenge, I can't wait to hear the 2016 one.
In the meantime, to whet your appetite here's my last ever one from 2015. Because of the screen layout's at the Summertime Ball, this video formats slightly strangely – but you'll get the idea, and be able to hear the mix! Check it out:

In a deviation from my normal green smoothie breakfast, I opted to cut up the banana, half the papaya and put them on a plate with a few highly prized dates. Wild stuff. Aquaman is in the office, taking up his position in the dawn patrol, and I missed the power cut off to make a green smoothie, so I thought I'd take the time to sit down and savour my organic fruit with an Earl Grey tea and my notebook.
For a while now I have been following a beautiful, austere blog by Jennifer Causey titled Simply Breakfast. It is exactly that; photos of her breakfast. Who would have thought it could be so captivating? Trust me, when you are thousands of miles from the nearest blueberry, loaf of fruit toast, or resupply of rolled oats, even skillfully shot photos of muesli can be strangely intriguing.
|above two photos by Jen Causey
Like my four legged friends in the village, my breakfast has a green component, however I serve it in a glass blended with papaya, banana, ginger and water. A blog dedicated to photos of green smoothies would be rather dull, so I can eliminate that from my to-do list. What did you have for breakfast today?

Altig Orlovic Agencies with American Income Life
Living up to the "World's Greatest Sales Force" name, Regional General Agent Bruce Viaje of Surrey led by example and eclipsed $50,000 net ALP during the historic $4.1 million month of March!
Bruce Viaje racked up $51,154 in net ALP last month fueled by a 78% close ratio, making 44 sales in just 56 presentations! He super-charged Opportunity Unlimited with 12 hour days on his road trip to Saskatchewan and during AO's $1.3 million week Bruce put up nearly $20,000 net ALP. After his monster month, he has climbed all the way to ninth in the AO Awards standings!
Bruce set his sights on $50,000, and most specifically "wanted that Squire Ring." He amassed a majority of his total in just 18 days (over $44,000 ALP to be exact) by executing Opportunity Unlimited:
With the skills and techniques he developed during that hot stretch, Bruce now truly believes he can write more than $75,000 or even $100,000 in a month!

The movie song he left his heart down in Rio was popular song during the second world war...the song had an introductory beginning that I did not see in your history lyrics of the song.:.It started like this : "Listen to whats in this story of a midnight glory when the moon was low,..harken to a tender love song once upon a midnight not so very long ( ..then follows the entire song as listed )The song of love begins the night they met down in Rio..in a cafe by the bay the romance to a midnight serenade ...etc.......this song was popular in the Philippines during the last days of the war and .immediately after war...
I was 12-14 years of age at that ime and I remember the words because it was frequently sang by my late guerilla cousin fighting the Japanese forces in mountains of Iloilo Philippines..I sang it too because it was a nice nostalgic song and we sang it by heart..Dr. Avenilo Aventura..

Black cohosh, a plant originating in North America, has been a popular medicinal herb for centuries. It was originally domesticated by the native peoples of this region before records began, and it was used primarily against menstrual problems, coughs, and muscle pain. When European settlers arrived in North America, they quickly adopted this traditional remedy, and European physicians started prescribing it around the mid-19th century to treat nervous disorders. Black cohosh's value as a medicinal herb continues to this day, as it is still used to treat a range of health problems. Modern medicinal uses for black cohosh are focused on treating the symptoms of menopause and menstrual complaints.

Health Benefits of Black Cohosh
The properties of black cohosh have been used for centuries to treat a wide variety of conditions. However, modern scientific research suggest that the herb may be primarily useful for the following purposes:
Relieving menstrual problems. Research also shows that black cohosh may help relieve some of the symptoms associated with premenstrual syndrome.
Treating the symptoms of menopause. Many research studies have been done on whether black cohosh treats menopausal symptoms and black cohosh is the most popular natural medicine to treat these symptoms. However, research is conflicting and it is recommended to not take black cohosh for more than six months because more long-term studies need to be done on the plant.
Additionally, black cohosh may be effective for:
Preventing osteoporosis. Black cohosh contains phytoestrogens, which may act like estrogen in a woman's body. This compound may also prevent the loss of bone density and the onset of osteoporosis, however more research needs to be done.
Treating arthritis. Some research shows that black cohosh may help relieve the inflammation caused by arthritis when used in combination with other herbs.
How It Works
The main active ingredients in black cohosh are the phytoestrogenic lignans contained within, some of which (most notably, actaealactone) are unique to these plant. Black cohosh also contains isoferulic acids, polyphenols, and glycosides, in addition to coumarin, caffeic acid, and fukinolic acid.
The phytoestrogenic lignans, which are chemically similar to human estrogen, have the ability to stimulate estrogen receptors around the body. For women experiencing symptoms related to estrogen deficiency, this means they will help replace the estrogen they are not producing on their own.
The compounds found in black cohosh can cause some adverse effects, such as stomach discomfort, headaches, weight gain, or breast tenderness. It is important to note that black cohosh should be taken for the short- or mid-term only, since there is some evidence that long-term use of black cohosh may cause a slight increase in the likelihood of getting diseases associated with the breasts and uterus. Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding, have a personal history of breast cancer, and individuals with liver disorders should not take black cohosh.
Other herbs with strong anti-inflammatory properties are turmeric and cat's claw, while dong quai and soy are examples of estrogenic herbs that can benefit hormonal health when imbalances occur.
Black Cohosh Side Effects
Black cohosh has been known to occasionally cause headaches and problems with weight. Reports show black cohosh may also cause liver damage, however millions of people use the herb with no adverse side effects.
Due to the fact that black cohosh has not been rigorously reviewed, it is advised that the herb is not mixed with other medication, and it is recommended people only take it for one year at a time.
In addition, black cohosh has a few major contraindications: women who are pregnant or breastfeeding, as well as those who have a past history of hormone-related cancers, should not take black cohosh.
How to Consume Black Cohosh
- Edible partsRoot
- Edible usesBeverage
- TasteMildly bitter, Earthy
Black cohosh is not regarded as an edible herb, so its consumption is usually done through infusions or supplements.
Among herbal medicine practitioners, the most prized part of this plant is the rhizome, or its underground thick roots, which contain most of its active compounds.
Natural Forms
Infusions. The roots and rhizomes of the plant can brewed. This slightly bitter infusion can help relieve pain and promote hormonal balance in women.
Herbal Remedies & Supplements
Tincture. This is a concentrated preparation that needs to be diluted in water in order to reap the benefits of herb. The general guideline for black cohosh dosage is from 20 - 80 mg, once or twice a day.
Capsules. In its supplementary form, black cohosh can be taken daily, in fixed doses to relief specific conditions, such as premenstrual syndrome or menopause symptoms.
- Where to buySpecialized health stores, Online herb stores
Natural Forms
Both black cohosh seeds and seedlings can be found in plant nurseries and are also available for purchase online.
The raw root – or rhizome - of black cohosh can be found online and be ground at home to brew an herbal tea. However, dried black cohosh can also be bought in the form of teabags from specialized health stores and online retailers.
Herbal Remedies & Supplements
Black cohosh supplements are mainly found in specialized health stores. There is a wide variety of black cohosh supplements available through online retailers, although the most common form is in tablet form.
Each brand of black cohosh supplement may come with different concentrations, It is a good idea to seek the advise of a health professional before start taking black cohosh.

- Potential insect pestsBeetles, Slugs, Cutworms, Snails
- Potential diseasesFungi, Damping-off
Black cohosh can be found growing naturally in rich woodlands from as far north as Maine and Ontario, south to Georgia, and west to Missouri and Indiana. This herbaceous perennial can reach eight feet (2.4 m) tall when mature.
Growing Guidelines
Black coshoh can be reproduced by seeds, but the germination rate is very low, so the preferred methods of propagation are root divisions or rhizome cuttings.
The optimal range of temperatures for growing black cohosh is 66 - 77°F (20 - 25°C)
Black cohosh grows best in moisturized, rich, heavy soils which are preferably partially shaded, with a pH of 5.1 - 6.0.
This plant needs generous amounts of water to thrive. The soil must be kept most at all times; however, over-watering should be avoided.
This is a slow-growing plant. It may take over a year for the first shoots to emerge.
Black cohosh is susceptible to be attacked by cutworms, blister beetles, slugs, and snails.
- The plant can also be affected by fungal diseases, such as damping off.
More detailed information about growing black cohosh can be found in the herb garden section.
Additional Information
Plan Biology
Black cohosh is an herbaceous perennial that forms long leaves of up to three feet (1 m) in length and possesses a thick rhizome, or bulbous root, that can reach 24 inches (60 cm) deep.
Black cohosh, or Actaea racemosa, is a member of the Ranunculaceae family, which contains around 1,700 species spread worldwide over 60 genera. This large group often goes by the name of buttercup or crowfoot family, and predominately contains flowering plants, including healing herbs like goldenseal (Hydrastis canadensis) and hepatica (Hepatica americana).
Related Species
Actaea racemosa is one of the 20 recognized species within the Actaea genus. Some herbs related to black cohosh are baneberry (Actaea spicata), white baneberry (Actaea pachypoda), and red baneberry (Actaea rubra).
Economic Data
The main economic importance of black cohosh is as an herbal medicine used to treat disorders related to menstruation and menopause. In 1998, black cohosh root consumption was approximately 700,000 lbs (317,515 kg), but in 1999, only 183,000 lbs (83,000 kg) were consumed worldwide, although the market sharply increased again to 420,000 lbs (190,000 kg) by 2001. In that year alone, the black cohosh industry was worth around $2.25 million USD, and it is predicted to keep rising.
Other uses
Black cohosh has gained some popularity in recent years as an ornamental plant.

Book Review - Before You Forget (Penguin Books Australia)
Established young adult author Lawrinson takes on new ground in this tragi-comic exploration of the impact of early-onset Alzheimer's on a family. Told through the eyes of Year 12 art student Amelia, the story is unflinching in its description of the effects of this heartbreaking disease, but leavened throughout with heart and humour. As Amelia navigates the difficult terrain of adolescence, she must also come to terms with her father's personality change, erratic behaviour, and subsequent diagnosis, and renegotiate her relationship with both parents as family dynamics shift. A wry, resilient character, Amelia is above all realistically drawn – at once angry and sad, short-tempered and tender as she tries to find a place for herself within an experience that makes little space for the young. As well as shining a clear light on an important topic, Before You Forget is a compelling story full of compassion, tightly and beautifully told.

Physical properties of crystals

© International Union of Crystallography 2013
International Tables for Crystallography (2013). Vol. D, ch. 2.2, pp. 320-321
Section 2.2.10. Density functional theory
aInstitut für Materialchemie, Technische Universität Wien, Getreidemarkt 9/165-TC, A-1060 Vienna, Austria
The most widely used scheme for calculating the electronic structure of solids is based on density functional theory (DFT). It is described in many excellent books, for example that by Dreizler & Gross (1990), which contains many useful definitions, explanations and references. Hohenberg & Kohn (1964) have shown that for determining the ground-state properties of a system all one needs to know is the electron density . This is a tremendous simplification considering the complicated wavefunction of a crystal with (in principle infinitely) many electrons. This means that the total energy of a system (a solid in the present case) is a functional of the density , which is independent of the external potential provided by all nuclei. At first it was just proved that such a functional exists, but in order to make this fundamental theorem of practical use Kohn & Sham (1965) introduced orbitals and suggested the following procedure.
In the universal approach of DFT to the quantum-mechanical many-body problem, the interacting system is mapped in a unique manner onto an effective non-interacting system of quasi-electrons with the same total density. Therefore the electron density plays the key role in this formalism. The non-interacting particles of this auxiliary system move in an effective local one-particle potential, which consists of a mean-field (Hartree) part and an exchange–correlation part that, in principle, incorporates all correlation effects exactly. However, the functional form of this potential is not known and thus one needs to make approximations.
Magnetic systems (with collinear spin alignments) require a generalization, namely a different treatment for spin-up and spin-down electrons. In this generalized form the key quantities are the spin densities , in terms of which the total energy is with the electronic contributions, labelled conventionally as, respectively, the kinetic energy (of the non-interacting particles), the electron–electron repulsion, the nuclear–electron attraction and the exchange–correlation energies. The last term is the repulsive Coulomb energy of the fixed nuclei. This expression is still exact but has the advantage that all terms but one can be calculated very accurately and are the dominating (large) quantities. The exception is the exchange–correlation energy , which is defined by (126.96.36.199) but must be approximated. The first important methods for this were the local density approximation (LDA) or its spin-polarized generalization, the local spin density approximation (LSDA). The latter comprises two assumptions:
The most effective way known to minimize by means of the variational principle is to introduce (spin) orbitals constrained to construct the spin densities [see (22.214.171.124) below]. According to Kohn and Sham (KS), the variation of gives the following effective one-particle Schrödinger equations, the so-called Kohn–Sham equations (Kohn & Sham, 1965) (written for an atom in Rydberg atomic units with the obvious generalization to solids):with the external potential (the attractive interaction of the electrons by the nucleus) given bythe Coulomb potential (the electrostatic interaction between the electrons) given by and the exchange–correlation potential (due to quantum mechanics) given by the functional derivative
In the KS scheme, the (spin) electron densities are obtained by summing over all occupied states, i.e. by filling the KS orbitals (with increasing energy) according to the Aufbau principle. Here are occupation numbers such that , where is the symmetry-required weight of point . These KS equations (184.108.40.206) must be solved self-consistently in an iterative process, since finding the KS orbitals requires the knowledge of the potentials, which themselves depend on the (spin) density and thus on the orbitals again. Note the similarity to (and difference from) the Hartree–Fock equation (184.108.40.206). This version of the DFT leads to a (spin) density that is close to the exact density provided that the DFT functional is sufficiently accurate.
In early applications, the local density approximation (LDA) was frequently used and several forms of functionals exist in the literature, for example by Hedin & Lundqvist (1971), von Barth & Hedin (1972), Gunnarsson & Lundqvist (1976), Vosko et al. (1980) or accurate fits of the Monte Carlo simulations of Ceperley & Alder (1984). The LDA has some shortcomings, mostly due to the tendency of overbinding, which causes, for example, too-small lattice constants. Recent progress has been made going beyond the LSDA by adding gradient terms or higher derivatives ( and ) of the electron density to the exchange–correlation energy or its corresponding potential. In this context several physical constraints can be formulated, which an exact theory should obey. Most approximations, however, satisfy only part of them. For example, the exchange density (needed in the construction of these two quantities) should integrate to according to the Fermi exclusion principle (Fermi hole). Such considerations led to the generalized gradient approximation (GGA), which exists in various parameterizations, e.g. in the one by Perdew et al. (1996). This is an active field of research and thus new functionals are being developed and their accuracy tested in various applications.
The Coulomb potential in (18.104.22.168) is that of all N electrons. That is, any electron is also moving in its own field, which is physically unrealistic but may be mathematically convenient. Within the HF method (and related schemes) this self-interaction is cancelled exactly by an equivalent term in the exchange interaction [see (18.104.22.168)]. For the currently used approximate density functionals, the self-interaction cancellation is not complete and thus an error remains that may be significant, at least for states (e.g. 4f or 5f) for which the respective orbital is not delocalized. Note that delocalized states have a negligibly small self-interaction. This problem has led to the proposal of self-interaction corrections (SICs), which remove most of this error and have impacts on both the single-particle eigenvalues and the total energy (Parr et al., 1978).
The Hohenberg–Kohn theorems state that the total energy (of the ground state) is a functional of the density, but the introduction of the KS orbitals (describing quasi-electrons) are only a tool in arriving at this density and consequently the total energy. Rigorously, the Kohn–Sham orbitals are not electronic orbitals and the KS eigenvalues (which correspond to in a solids) are not directly related to electronic excitation energies. From a formal (mathematical) point of view, the are just Lagrange multipliers without a physical meaning.
Nevertheless, it is often a good approximation (and common practice) to partly ignore these formal inconsistencies and use the orbitals and their energies in discussing electronic properties. The gross features of the eigenvalue sequence depend only to a smaller extent on the details of the potential, whether it is orbital-based as in the HF method or density-based as in DFT. In this sense, the eigenvalues are mainly determined by orthogonality conditions and by the strong nuclear potential, common to DFT and the HF method.
In processes in which one removes (ionization) or adds (electron affinity) an electron, one compares the N electron system with one with or electrons. Here another conceptual difference occurs between the HF method and DFT. In the HF method one may use Koopmans' theorem, which states that the agree with the ionization energies from state i assuming that the corresponding orbitals do not change in the ionization process. In DFT, the can be interpreted according to Janak's theorem (Janak, 1978) as the partial derivative with respect to the occupation number ,Thus in the HF method is the total energy difference for , in contrast to DFT where a differential change in the occupation number defines , the proper quantity for describing metallic systems. It has been proven that for the exact density functional the eigenvalue of the highest occupied orbital is the first ionization potential (Perdew & Levy, 1983). Roughly, one can state that the further an orbital energy is away from the highest occupied state, the poorer becomes the approximation to use as excitation energy. For core energies the deviation can be significant, but one may use Slater's transition state (Slater, 1974), in which half an electron is removed from the corresponding orbital, and then use the to represent the ionization from that orbital.
Another excitation from the valence to the conduction band is given by the energy gap, separating the occupied from the unoccupied single-particle levels. It is well known that the gap is not given well by taking as excitation energy. Current DFT methods significantly underestimate the gap (half the experimental value), whereas the HF method usually overestimates gaps (by a factor of about two). A trivial solution, applying the `scissor operator', is to shift the DFT bands to agree with the experimental gap. An improved but much more elaborate approach for obtaining electronic excitation energies within DFT is the GW method in which quasi-particle energies are calculated (Hybertsen & Louie, 1984; Godby et al., 1986; Perdew, 1986). This scheme is based on calculating the dielectric matrix, which contains information on the response of the system to an external perturbation, such as the excitation of an electron.
In some cases, one can rely on the total energy of the states involved. The original Hohenberg–Kohn theorems (Hohenberg & Kohn, 1964) apply only to the ground state. The theorems may, however, be generalized to the energetically lowest state of any symmetry representation for which any property is a functional of the corresponding density. This allows (in cases where applicable) the calculation of excitation energies by taking total energy differences.
Many aspects of DFT from formalism to applications are discussed and many references are given in the book by Springborg (1997).

Gov. Chris Christie Teases Presidential Run on The Tonight Show [VIDEO]
Gov. Chris Christie was a special guest on "The Tonight Show" starring Jimmy Fallon. Of course, one of the topics focused on his likely 2016 presidential run.
Fallon was also looking for an endorsement for the Tonight Show flavored Ben and Jerry's Ice Cream called "The Tonight Dough."
When asked about a likely 2016 presidential run, the Governor did say "I've got a day job which keeps me busy." The Governor also hinted at a formal announcement concerning his candidacy in May or June.

When the University of Oklahoma announced this week that it was dropping its women's basketball program, the school expected little reaction. Instead, the announcement hit here like a wind sweeping off the plain and energized the Women's Basketball Coaches' Association, which was convening in conjunction with the women's National Collegiate Athletic Association Final Four.
That competition opens on Friday night, when Stanford (30-1) opposes Virginia (29-5) and Louisiana Tech (32-0) plays Auburn (27-6) in the 24,535-seat Thompson-Boling Arena. The title game is scheduled for Sunday afternoon.
But today the talk centered on the Sooners' program.
''I guess it was bad timing, but we really didn't know that anybody cared that much about our basketball program,'' Oklahoma's assistant athletic director, Don Jimerson, said in a telephone interview. ''I'm overwhelmed by the reaction. We never drew that many fans even when we had better teams, four and five years ago, and this year attendance was worse, under 100, a game, one time 52, one time 39, one time 73 or 78.''
Threat of Legal Action
The convention here hurriedly put together a news conference in the lobby of the N.C.A.A. tournament headquarters this morning to protest the elimination of the program, to urge members to get in touch with their state and national legislators and to threaten legal action against Oklahoma unless the university reconsidered.
The Oklahoma announcement said that all current scholarships would be honored and that all current coaching contracts, including that of the head coach, Valerie Goodwin-Colbert, would also be honored. The money previously used for basketball, the announcement said, will be spent on other women's sports.
''What was puzzling is that they said it wasn't a financial decision, yet they decided to just abandon the program,'' said Rene Portland, head coach at Penn State and outgoing president of the coaches association. ''I know when their men's football program was put on probation by the N.C.A.A. they didn't abandon it.Continue reading the main story
''We are urging our members to write letters to the university president, the athletic director, the chancellor or whoever else was involved and to their local congressmen and senators. After that our counsel is exploring ways to go into court and get an injunction against the university to keep them from dropping the sport.''
Looking at Women's Soccer
The decision to drop basketball had been brewing for a long time, Jimerson said, but it had nothing to do with the school's loss of revenue from being unable to go to bowl games because of the N.C.A.A. probation.
''We looked at our books and found that we were spending a fourth of our women's budget on basketball, and we have women's teams at the school that outdraw basketball, such as gymnastics and volleyball,'' Jimerson said. ''We decided instead that we would look in the future towards having women's soccer. We felt that would involve 22-23 women, more than the 12 or 13 basketball players. We're not going to spend any less on women's sports.''Continue reading the main story
