1 General theory of thermal fluctuations in nonlinear systems G. N. Bochkov and Yu. E. Kuzovlev ~or'kii State University (Submitted June 17, 1976) Zh. Eksp. Teor. Fiz. 72, (January 1977) A method is proposed for investigating the thermal fluctuations in an arbitrary system subjected to the influence of a dynamic perturbation (and in contact with a thermostat). An exact formula is obtained for the characteristic functional of the fluctuations of the macroscopic variables. The formula contains all the most general consequences of the basic postulates of statistical mechanics regarding the macroscopic variables. An infinite set of relations between the moment and cumulant functions of the equilibrium and nonequilibrium fluctuations (in particular, the Onsager reciprocity relations and the fluctuation-dissipation theorems) follows from the formula. The consequences of the additional assumption that the macroscopic variables are Markovian are also considered. PACS numbers: Gg, j I. Theorems that stem from the following general macrovariables under consideration is Markovian are assumptions about the character of the macroscopic analyzed. Section 5 is devoted to a generalization of motion are of great importance in statistical thermo- the generating formula (4) to the quantum case. dynamics: 1) the microscopic motion obeys the laws 2.

We assume that relations of nonlinear fluctuation thermodynamics. C'-6*101 at time t = 0 external forces xk(t) began to act on the sys- To derive these one uses perturbation theory, expanding tem, and the Hamiltonian took the form the moments of the nonequilibrium fluctuations in series in powers of the external forces. Efremov, "**I by the perturbation method, was the first to obtain three-index relations between the thirdorder moments of equilibrium fluctuations and the quadratic response of a system to an external perturbation. The analysis of the four-index relations, C4*8*101 however, has turned out to be extremely cumbersome, and it is impossible in practice to investigate the relations of higher order by the perturbation method. How to present the entire aggregate of information contained in all possible multi-index relations in a closed and visible form has, therefore, remained unclear. The answer to this question is given in the present paper. We show that the set of relations of different orders can be replaced by a single exact generating formula for the characteristic functional of the stochastic thermodynamic variables or for the corresponding probability functional. The derivation, given in Sec. 2, of the fundamental generating formula (4) from a classical mechanical model and from the three aforementioned assumptions does not require the use of perturbation theory; it is an exact theorem, of which all the multi-index relations obtained previously and a large number of new relations are consequences. When formulated in terms of the probability functional (7) this theorem acquires greater simplicity and clarity. In Sec. 4 the consequences of the additional assumption that the set of Here the macroscopic variables Q(t) = ~(cy~, P t, are conjugate to the external forces; the values of the microscopic coordinates and momenta at time t are denoted by ot and Pt. We express Q(t) in terms of the initial values cyo and Po of the microvariables: where Q ~ [ ~ O Po;, x(b)] is a certain functional of the realization x(6) for t3 620, determined by the equations of motion. In the following we shall use the symmetry of the equations of motion under change of sign of the time. Under time reversal the momenta change sign. If the equilibrium Hamiltonian Ho does not contain a constant magnetic field (or other time-odd parameters), then H0(a, - 8) = Ho(a, P). Otherwise, it is necessary to reverse the direction of the magnetic field at the same time. We shall assume that the macrovariables Q(t) possess a definite parity under time reversal, i. e., Qk(cu, - P), = C~Q~(N, P), where ek =* 1. The time reversibility of the mechanical motion implies that, for t3 730, Here & is a diagonal matrix with elements &,. 125 Sov. Phys.

2 The evolution and fluctuations of the variables Q(T) for t2~2 0 are determined by the characteristic functional where ~ ~ ( are 7 ) arbitrary trial functions, and jdarodpo is an integral over the whole phase space (the subscript x(0) on the averaging symbol indicates for which realization of the external forces the nonequilibrium average is taken). We shall elucidate which properties of the characteristic functional stem from the time-reversibility formulas (1). We introduce the quantity which, as follows from the Hamiltonian equations of motion, gives the change in the internal energy of the system under the action of the external forces, i. e., Next we consider the average E = s(r) Q (7) dz. (5) -- 5 Formula (4) relates the characteristic functional~ of stochastic processes Q(t) for the forward and time-reversed motions of the system. Inasmuch as, in its derivation, the Hamiltonian of the system was in no way made concrete, it contains all the most general consequences of the microscopic reversibility in respect of the macrovariables Q(t). It is not difficult to obtain a completely analogous formula fo? the characteristic functional of the variables J(t) = Q(t), which we shall call the currents: Here we have introduced the notation ;(T) = u(- T), ;(T) = x(- 7). The results obtained can be given a physically intuitive form if we write them not in terms of the characteristic functionals but in terms of the density of the probability measure in the space of the macroscopic trajectories of the system. Thus, being interested in the variables Q(t), we shall denote the probability-measure density in the space of the trajectories Q(t) (for given realizations of the external forces) by the symbol P[Q;x]. Then formula (4) is equivalent to the equality We substitute the equality (2) into this and then change to new integration variables using the fact that the Jacobian of the transformation from aro, Po to a', 0' is equal to unity. Transforming also the exponent of the first exponential in the right-hand side of (3) by means of formula (I), we obtain When xz 0, EI 0 and this formula states simply that the probabilities of the forward and time-reserved trajectories Q(t) and cq(-t) are the same. We integrate both sides of (7) over all trajectories Q(t). The integral of the right-hand side should be equal to unity, and we arrive at the interesting relation which holds for an arbitrary realization of the external forces. We also obtain this result from (4), when we put ~(7)' 0. If we take into account that Here we have taken into account that (in the absence of a magnetic field) D(a, - P) = D(ar, P). Since the times t = 0 and t are in no way special, we can take -mas the start of the action of the external force and put the upper limit of all the integrals equal to + -. Then, using the time -translation invariance of the unperturbed motion of the system, we arrive at the principal formula of this paper: it follows from this and from (a), since the temperature is positive, that (E)> 0. Thus, for an arbitrary mechanical external perturbation a system always absorbs energy, on the average, if it was originally in thermodynamic equilibrium. We shall discuss briefly the meaning of the results obtained, which can be interpreted in two ways. Inasmuch as the interaction with the thermostat was switched off simultaneously with the switching-on of the perturbation, formulas (4) and (6)-(8) characterize those properties of the mechanical evolution of the system that stem from the reversibility and the special Gibbs form of the initial condition for the distribution function.

3 temperature T here is simply a parameter of the initial distribution and pertains to the remote past, if the external forces act for a long time. It is possible, however, to assume that: l) the external forces act only on a small part A of the whole system A +B under consideration, and the variables Q(t) also pertain to the system A; 2) the whole system A +B is in contact with the thermostat, but the energy of interaction with the thermostat is relatively very small and the role of the thermostat reduces to just the forming of the Gibbs equilibrium distribution in the absence of the external perturbations. Then, when the perturbation is switched on, in relation to the small subsystem A the large subsystem B will play the role of a thermostat maintaining the temperature T. In this case the parameter T in all our formulas has the meaning of the constant temperature of a thermostat and pertains to the actual moment of time. In either of these two interpretations, the formulas (4), (7) and (8) characterize the excitation of the system from the state of thermodynamic equilibrium. We note that all the formulas can be extended to the case when the Hamiltonian of the perturbation is nonlinear in the external forces and internal parameters: H(t)=H,-h[x(t); Q], h(ex; eq)=h(x; Q). As follows from Hamilton's equations, in this case the functional of the absorbed energy E in formulas (4), (7) and (8) must be specified (in place of (5)) by the more general expression sence of external forces) and the factor c2 has an obvious tensor meaning. Let t > t,; then - t < - t, and, by virtue of causality, the right-hand side should be equal to zero. As a result we obtain the two-index fluctuation-dissipation formula (Here and below we omit the subscript x from the nonequilibrium averages. ) Completely analogously we can obtain the multi-index relations, which ar? written most simply in terms of the currents J(t) = Q(t). Without concerning ourselves with the calculations, we give here only the three- and four-index relations. We first introduce abbreviated notation, clarifying it by examples: etc., where all the rk* 0 and by (J... J) we mean either the moment or the cumulant functions of the currents. In this notation, after it has been differentiated with respect to t formula (9) takes the form Putting x=o in (6), we obtain the following symmetry relations for the equilibrium moment functions of the currents: We shall consider next certain consequences of the basic formulas (4), (6) and (7). 3. We shall obtain various relations between the equilibrium and nonequilibrium moment functions of the variables Q(t) and J(t) by applying functional differentiation with respect to u(t), x(t) to (4), (6) and (7) and then putting u(t) = x(t) = 0. Here it is necessary to invoke the principle of causality, according to which an arbitrary moment function with time arguments tk does not depend on x(t) if t > t,. It is obvious that to any relation between the moment functions of the stochastic processes Q(t), J(t) there corresponds a relation, completely identical in form, between the cumulant functions. We shall give an example of the calculations. We multiply both sides of (7) by Q(t) and integrate over the trajectories: In particular, for rk = 0 we have Consequently, if Qk is an even variable (cr= I), the equilibrium one-dimensional distribution of the current J, is symmetric, i. e., opposite directions of the current are equally probable. From (10) and (11) for n = l, making the tensor notation explicit we obtain the Onsager reciprocity relations : We write out the three-index relations: We differentiate this equality with respect to x(t,) and put x(t) = 0: The complete independent four-index relations have the form where (... )o denotes an equilibrium average (in the ab- 127 Sov.

4 Formula (12) expresses the third equilibrium cumulant function in terms of the second variation of the nonequilibrium average (J) with respect to the external forces; the first variation of the nonequilibrium correlation function can also be expressed in terms of this variation. The f our-index relations do not enable us to relate the equilibrium fourth cumulant to the nonequilibrium averages. However, according to (13), the fourth equilibrium cumulant is determined by the second variation of the nonequilibrium correlation function with respect to the forces. These are the well-known results obtained inc1'4s6s101 for the quantum case by the method of perturbation theory and presented there in a (much more complicated) spectral form. Our method does not require the use of perturbation theory and makes it possible to obtain multi-index relations from the exact generating formulas (4), (6) and (7) by a comparatively simple route. As a straightforward analysis of formula (6) shows, the equilibrium cumulant functions of orders 2N and 2N+ 1 can be expressed in terms of the variations of the N-th and lower nonequilibrium cumulant functions with respect to the forces. We remark also that the formula derived by stratonovichcs1 that relates the two-dimensional equilibrium and one-dimensional nonequilibrium distributions of Q(t) follows from (4). 4. We shall assume that the macrovariables Q(t) form a complete set, i. e., they uniquely determine their future. In this case it is natural to assume their fluctuations to be Markovian. We shall consider what information about the kinetic operator of a Markovian process Q(t) can be extracted from the general formula (7). We shall denote the probability density of the stationary nonequilibrium distribution for x(t) = x= const by W%(Q), and the probability density of the equilibrium fluctuations by Wo(Q). We put Q(tk)a Qk and stipulate that t1*t t,,. We take the trajectory of the external forces to be piecewise-constant: x(t) = xk = const for tk > t > tk,. We denote by the symbol V,,(Qk I a+,; xk, x,,,... ) the probability density of a transition from Qk+, to Qk in the time Tk" tk- tkrl (and if xm= 0 we shall not include xm among the arguments). We now put xk = 0 for k + 1, la (7) takes the form p[q; x] esp {-X(Q~-Q~)/T)=P[E?~; ~41. = 7, and x, = x. Formu- Integrating this equality over all trajectories with the two fixed points Q(t,) = Q, and Q(t,) = Q,, we obtain Vr(Qi 19%; x) W,(Qz) erp {-+(Q+-Qz)/T) =Vr(eQz 180,; ex) Wo(eQ,). (14) In the limit as 7 - m, Q1 and Q2 should become statistically independent, and therefore (14) becomes From this it follows that vious method, we obtain From this and from (14), (15), it is not difficult to obtain the equality I vr,(q1 IQz; x,, x2) V4(eQ3 eq2; EX^) Wo(Qz) exp {-xi (Q,-Q2)/T) =V7,(eQJIeQI; EX*, EX~)V~,(EQ~IEQ,; EX,) Wo(Q,), integration of which over Q3 gives v~, Q2; XI, XZ) Wo(Q2) esp {-x, (Q,-Q2)/T) (eq2 I EQ,; 51) Wo (Q,). =v,, The right-hand side of this equality does not depend on x,, and, therefore, the left-hand side, i.e., V,,, also does not, in fact, depend on xz. Thus, in combination with the Markovian assumption, the time symmetry of the motion leads to the following important result: the probability density of a transition from Q(t2) and Q(tl) depends only on x(t) for t, >t >t2 and does not depend on that part of the realization of the external forces that precedes the time t,. This means that the kinetic operator of the Markovian stochastic process Q(t) should depend in an instantaneous manner on the external forces. At the same time, we have obtained a symmetry property for the transitionprobability density: The latter formula is equivalent to the following relations between the kinetic coefficients K,,(x, Q): These restrictions, following from formulas (15) and (16), on the kinetic coefficients have been analyzed by Stratonovich. C1-91 However, in his papers, C7-g1 the relations (15) and (16) appear as initial postulates, and the external forces are assumed to be constant. First, we have derived (15) and (16) from the more general nonmarkovian relation (7), and, secondly, we have shown that it is necessary to extend the results of ~tratonovich~~-~~ to the case of time-dependent external forces (in this case the kinetic coefficients are determined by the instantaneous value of &)). 5. In conclusion we shall derive the quantum equivalent of the classical time-symmetry formula (4). Inasmuch as a quantum system does not have a trajectory, we cannot introduce for it a characteristic or probability functional, and it is necessary to consider the quantum moment functions directly. We denote by the equilibrium density matrix, and by Q(t), Ak(t) the Hermitian operators of the physical variables in the Heisenberg picture, which are related to the operators Q, A, in the Schradinger picture by the formulas Next, let xk = 0 for k+ l,2.

5 Here and below the symbols e& and e 5 will denote, respectively, the chronological and antichronological ordering of the exponential, and the cross denotes the Hermitian conjugate. The nonequilibrium quantum moment functions are determined by the formulas this equality in the form We now transform the initial average (17) in another way. We note that In order to find the time-symmetry relations for them, we shall consider the average We shall consider the derivative d i --Ha (t) = S+ (t, 0)-(H(t)Ho-HoH(t))S(t,O) dt h (23) assuming first, as in Sec. 2, that the external forces X(T) = 0 for 7 < 0 and that t > tka 0. Using the properties of the trace Sp {... ) and the formula S(T, 0) =S+ (t, T)S(~, O), it is not difficult to bring (17) to the form The values of (18) is not changed when the operator under the trace is replaced by its transpose. Therefore, denoting the transpose by a bar above, we can write, in place of (18), ~=SP (S+(t, tda,s(t, t,)... S+(t, t,)a,s(t, t,)p). (19) We now recall that under time reversal any Hermitian operator (in the Schrodinger picture) goes over into its transpose. If all the physical quantities under consideration possess a definite parity under time reversal, then xk=ckakandg=c~, where&,=kl andc=*l. (Generally speaking, the relations Ak = cku +AkU and g= &U' QU hold, where U is a certain unitary opefator. However, the values of ~p{...)and of the moment functions remain unchanged under any unitary transformation U, so that we can assume U=Z.) Furthermore, if the equilibrium Hamiltonian Ho does not contain time-odd param, eters, e.g., a constant magnetic field, then go=~o. Otherwise, taking the transpose of H, is equivalent to reversing the direction of the magnetic field. Assuming that go= Ho and 3 = p, we obtain from (19) i = exp {- \ [H,- EX (t- t') Q] atf}. (21) 0 In the latter formula we have used the well-known rule for going over from a chronologically ordered exponential to an antichronologically ordered one. It is easy to see from formulas (20) and (21) that ~p{...) in (20) coincides with the moment function with the time-reversed external force cx(t - T): where we have introduced the operator J(t) n d~(t)/dt. Hence follows ~,(t)= H,+E, I EE Jx(t')~(t')dt~. 0 Substituting this expression (which is analogous to the classical expression (2)) into (23) and using the wellknown formula - :i in which A and B are arbitrary operators, we obtain S+ (t, 0) ps (t, 0) = oxp -- EeEOm~' da) p, Finally, from this and from (17) and (22) we obtain the following desired result: The start of the action of the external forces can now be taken at -w. The operator E in (24) is defined by the expression - E = Jx(t)~(t)dt -- and has the usual meaning of the operator of the energy absorbed by the system in the presence of the external perturbation. The formula (24) relates the moment functions for the forward and time-reversed motions of the system. In the classical limit all the variables become commuting variables and the order of the factors under the averaging symbol is unimportant. The exponential in the lefthand side of (24) acquires the form e"it and the formula is considerably simplified: Taking into account the time-translational invariance of the unperturbed motion of the system, we can rewrite Replacing Ak by Qk here, we obtain a set of relations equivalent to the generating formula (4). 129 Sov.

Fiz. 72, (January 1977) The current fluctuations in a semiconductor are investigated under the conditions for "Stark quantization". It is shown that the fluctuations may be anomalously large. The obtained dependence of the fluctuations on the parameters of the scattering system and on the width of the energy band allow us to reach definite conclusions about the nature of the energy dissipation and band structure of the semiconductor. PACS numbers: Dp, Ej 1. INTRODUCTION cording to this theorem the problem of fluctuations reduces to a calculation of the-linear response of the system to an external perturbation. There is no such generalized theorem for nonequilibrium systems, and in each specific case the calculation of the fluctuations requires special consideration. The theory of fluctuations in nonequilibrium electron-phonon systems is given in In these articles current fluctuations were investigated under the quasi-classical condition F>> tiw, where F denotes the average energy of the electron and w denotes the frequency of the fluctuations. High-frequency fluctuations in electron-phonon systems were investigated inc7]. A number of articles devoted to the investigation of semiconductors in strong electric fields have recently appeared. If the electric field is sufficiently strong (and the allowed band is relatively narrow), in such a field the electron is able to reach the top of the allowed band in energy space before being scattered. In such a situation the electron may undergo periodic motion in the Brillouin zone between collision events, which leads to qualitatively new quantum effects which are not observable in weak fields. The general theory of kinetic phenomena in semiconductors in a strong electric field is developed in the articles by Bryksin and Firsov. c1121 In the single-band approximation they obtainedc1] an expression for the current in an arbitrary electric field and an equation for the distribution function on the basis of a diagram technique. A quantum transport equation is presented and also a number of specific physical situationscz1 are investigated. Similar questions are considered by Levinson and Yasevichyute inc3], where the quantum kinetic equation is solved and the current is calculated for a model of scattering. It should be noted that the solution of the problem by Levinson and ~asevich~ute~~~ is of a less general nature than the solution by Bryksin and ~ irsod'~~~ since the authors ofc3] confined their attention to the case of weak electron-phonon coupling and to a specific choice for the form of the electron band. It is known that the fluctuation-dissipation theorem is valid for a system in thermodynamic equilibrium; ac- The present article is devoted to a calculation of the current fluctuations in semiconductors in a strong electric field such that quantum effects due to the appearance of the "Stark levels"c81 begin to exert influence on the quantum effects. The existence of these levels has been experimentally established. C9r'01 AS far as the authors know, fluctuations under the conditions for quantization of the electron longitudinal motion have not been hitherto investigated. ~arlier[~*~' a method was proposed for a calculation of the fluctuations, based on the equations of motion for the quantum analog of the microscopic distribution function. In particular, this method enabled one to introduce outside sources of fluctuations into the equation for the fluctuating part of the distribution function without making any kind of assumption except those which are used in the derivation of the corresponding kinetic equations. 130 Sov.

About Everything You Need To Know About The Flu Shot
I suggest a system linking the flu shot to my son and me getting the flu. Scientists alert that there are some very terrible germs lurking in community destinations although not in enough populations which they can colonize inside our bodies in advance of a traditional immune process destroys them. Now think about that this calendar year the flu shot prediction wasn't on target. So whilst my immune process was marginalized busily creating the wrong antibodies the flu viruses that I might have picked up even in the region where the shot was administered had been quietly colonizing in my entire body.
Skip on to research Skip on to A to Z listing Skip straight to navigation Skip straight to web page selections Skip straight to site material
"They're at a heightened risk for having lousy results, like pneumonia and cardiac activities, because it puts loads of strain on the center. Individuals who have had cardiac events in the final calendar year must genuinely obtain the flu shot," Edwards extra.
The H and N glycoproteins serve as antigens to which the body forms antibodies to assist struggle from the infection. A amount of different viral strains flow into Just about every flu season.
I'm 33 yrs previous, hardly ever acquired a flu shot and never caught a flu, last year at my perform they ended up handing out totally free flu shots and I believed can be i should acquire it for the reason that all my co-personnel ended up recommending it. I bought a person, final yr was ok, but this 12 months i did not get just one and I've fallen sick two times previously.
The U.S. Centre for Condition Handle and Prevention endorses that just about "All people" 6 months of age and more mature ought to obtain a flu vaccine "each individual time."
The overwhelming majority of vaccine Unwanted side effects are delicate, for example soreness at the injection web site or maybe a moderate fever. Based on the General public Well being Agency of Canada, it obtained 639 reviews of adverse gatherings just after immunization in the 1st quarter of 2016. Of All those, 52 were categorised as significant.
We've not witnessed something this lousy since 2003-2004. The difference is that this year Now we have a vaccine obtainable that matches the pressure. Be expecting this 12 months's flu time to peak at the end of this thirty day period or upcoming.
"There are numerous decades the place the vaccine is much better at avoiding the flu than other decades, but you are generally obtaining some protection," Edwards extra.
This is certainly a particularly essential information for any person who will be in connection with larger-danger individuals.
A singular prospect led a bunch of young adults to open up around us about difficult matters which might be while in the information...from sexual assault to mental sickness.
In the word: Indeed. Many individuals die in the flu yearly, and tens of thousands a lot more are killed by check this site out flu-linked health problems. Article content about it preserve appearing mainly because it's crucial to remain Secure.
Scientific studies recommend that antiviral therapy also lessens the incidence and severity of issues and length of stay of people, for instance older Grownups, who require hospitalization. Some question when there is any benefit of these prescription drugs for wholesome, immunocompetent people today. The CDC states that "
In terms of when you need to look for out the quadrivalent vaccine, most specialists suggest that you receive the flu shot by early tumble. It's going to take about two weeks to the safety to kick in, and flu season typically commences as early as October in the U.S. and carries on as late as May possibly.

Deanna and I decided that our Thanksgiving dinner would be at Native Foods this year.
I don't think either of us care too much about the meaning of this holiday. We grew up with it, and enjoy the food centered aspect of it, even after going vegan 20+ years ago. We are very thankful for what we have and like the thoughtfulness attitude of the day, but the traditional pilgrims and indians ideas are total BS. And of course today's turkey genocide centered theme is the worst.
So here is the food. Native's vegan Wellington, mashed potatoes & gravy, stuffing, polenta, cranberry sauce, green beans, and not shown: Green leaf salad and a very nice Waldorf Salad.
All of this is presented in an all you can eat buffet style. You can pile your plate up high just like you might at home.
We enjoyed our food very much. The food was great, the atmosphere was festive if not a bit impersonal (compared to being with family, or even having a regular waitress.) And we didn't have to cook! The dessert was not so hot. They had 3 pies, pumpkin, chocolate, and pumpkin cheesecake. The ones we had, cheesecake and chocolate were mushy, and not inspired.
Eating this food did spurn us to make Thanksgiving type food later in the week though.
I would do this again, the food was excellent, and the price is right. But it feels a little weird not being with family or friends, no matter how bad the food might be with them in comparison.

I love Native Foods!! I've ordered their Wellingtons in the past for the holidays (which came w/ all the sides you mentioned above) and it was always money well-spent.ReplyDelete
Thanks Spooky!ReplyDelete

Howdy Ed and Spooky (if you both see this)ReplyDelete
My wife and I are thinking of serving the Native Foods Wellington for Thanksgiving, but we've never tried it. Wondering if you'd be willing to give it review. Also, if you've ordered it to take home please comment on the serving size. It says serves 8, and we've got 11 people coming over. So trying to figure out if we can stretch buying 1 or if we go for 2 so we have leftovers.

Saturday, July 9 – Orioles 3, Angels 2
Oriole Park at Camden Yards was my "home" park until the Nationals came to Washington. I attended the park's opening game in 1992, its All-Star Game in 1993, and shared season tickets for about 10 years. As one fan's shirt said, it set the tone for the new ballparks that followed. But it has one huge drawback: there is no view of the field from its concourses; you enter the seating areas through tunnels.
Access: An easy drive up I-95 and the short I-395 spur dropped me right at the ballpark. When I shared season tickets, I could then turn immediately into reserved parking. This time, I had to drive two blocks north of the park to a garage, where parking cost $25. A Baltimore light rail line also stops right at the stadium. So does a commuter rail line that runs to and from Washington, but only on workdays.
Seats/pricing: Fifth row of the upper deck looking from home plate straight up the third base line cost $42.00.
View: Downtown Baltimore is the centerpiece of the view past center field. The locally iconic Bromo-Seltzer clock tower used to be a feature, but it now is blocked from most of the seats by a large plain boxy hotel to the north. From Eutaw Street, you can still see the clock.
Food: A nice variety from hot dogs to crab cakes is available, but the signature location, as it has been for years, is Boog's B B Q on Eutaw Street. "Boog" is Boog Powell, the home-run hitting first baseman who helped the Orioles to four American League championships and two World Series titles during his stay in Baltimore from 1961 to 1974. His barbecue stand opened along with Oriole Park in 1992. I had the pork sandwich with an array of self-added toppings and sauce. It was a bargain at $10.00. The double-meat version at $15.00 would have been overwhelming. As I ordered and ate, Boog (who looks like he could put away the double-meat version with ease), posed for pictures and signed autographs for a line of fans.
Beer: Nothing very special here. Regular size servings of a few crafts at $9.50, premium at $9.00 and mass market at $8.00.
Crowd: 43,288. A first-place home team, a clear day, and a Manny Machado garden gnome giveaway combined to essentially sell out the park. O's games, especially in good weather, have a very high percentage of orange-clad fans. They've been known for years for the "O" yell during the National Anthem at the line beginning, "Oh, say does that star-spangled banner . . ." A much newer chant comes now when shortstop J. J. Hardy comes to bat. The announcer says "the shortstop, number 2," and then thousands yell in unison with the announcer: "J. J. Hardy." Somehow, the initials and rhythm make it work.
Men's Rooms: Clean.
Neighborhood: The immediate neighborhood is Eutaw Street, inside the turnstiles and alongside the warehouse behind right and right-center fields that visually defines Oriole Park at Camden Yards. The main team store, a separate outlet team store, various food and beverage stops, and even commercial tents dot the street. Outside the park, numerous restaurants and bars dot the street to the north, and the tourist-centric Inner Harbor is just a short walk to the east. The Baltimore Ravens' NFL stadium is just to the south, across parking lots.
Arts and visuals: A Babe Ruth statue stands on the plaza behind center field, close to where The Bambino's father ran a bar in early 20th century Baltimore. Oriole greats such as Cal Ripken, Jim Palmer, and Eddie Murray are honored with large, modernistic, metal, block, uniform numbers.
Baseball Moment: A balk. The Orioles trailed 2-1 in the seventh inning when Jonathan Schoop singled, then moved to second on a J. J. Hardy single and third on a sacrifice. Joe Smith relieved and promptly dropped the ball during his pitching motion. The balk brought in Schoop with the tying run. The Orioles won with another run in the eighth and a game-ending double play in the ninth.

MEET THE DESIGNER: KRISTINE PEñAFIEL SALVIEJO
While studying at Parsons School of Design, it was fashion (and knitwear, specifically) that captivated Kristine Peñafiel Salviejo—and she turned that passion into a successful career collaborating with the super-cool likes of Alexander Wang, Tome and Nike.
But a little over a year after moving from NYC to Berlin (and setting up house in a succession of apartments), she had the seed of a new home goods idea, one that would fuse her love of textiles with the motifs from her Filipino heritage that loomed large in her mind. Despite the super mod look of her line, many of her patterns come from Filipino templates that date as far back as the 1400s. As Kristine, who now splits her time between her fashion and home projects, explains, "It's about preserving the pattern, technique, and story and reviving it for today." The semi-psychedelic checked rugs, placemats, and table runners that have materialized are the kind of pieces no one would ever let go of. —marly fink

Aldermen approve 20-year study for CWLP's power plant
SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (WRSP) —
On Tuesday, at Springfield's City Council meeting, aldermen passed a study on CWLP power plant units that will cost $210,000.
The debate about whether CWLP should retire some old units at the power plant have been in the talks for years.
Now there's a company called The Energy Authority who will do the study. TEA will determine the gas, power, and resources prices.
They will examine capacity and develop econometric load forecasts.
Now this study will find out the long-term plant issues and research plant life and replacement costs.
If it comes out that we should retire any units, the utilities capacity will lower and this may lead CWLP to go with other options like buying off the grid.

Traditionally this time of year can be unpredictable. Linked to the economy, income, global events and disasters, there can never be a sure thing when it comes to retail sales. The "must have" products of the season are starting to emerge and with Black Friday and the key Christmas buying period on the way, things should be looking bright for those in bricks and mortar retail, and the great news is that they are. Understanding the market helps with promotion planning and ensuring you can follow up a successful holiday sales period with a marketing plan for the new year.
The US Retail Market
Reports have shown that the holiday shopping season has already started to creep into the minds of some consumers, with spending on the increase during October. The National Retail Federation released figures to show that sales were up 0.9 percent on September and a significant increase of 2.2 percent on last year at this time.
Across the retail industry, it appears that sales are set to continue to increase over the holiday period, and as bricks and mortar stores, it is a great idea to be able to promote your store, the best offers that you have for your customers to really ensure that they come into your store than your competitors. The NRF have suggested that although clothing, accessories and general merchandise are increasing in sales over the past year, they are down on previous years, therefore utilising retail marketing tools can help you close the gap. Window graphics are idea for the holiday season, they can be printed to your exact specifications, with color choices, branding, and promotional messages for this busy time of year. Or if you are looking for something to help boost impulse buys, how about point of purchase displays or wall graphics? AGRetail are experts in retail marketing solutions for every season, and for every retailer. Call us now to help you make the most of the holiday sales.

The whole history of cosmonautics in one place
Somehow it happened that I visited Kaluga in sufficient regularity, usually either passing through some of the local estate. or just cases.
Never got to walk around the city, and even more so to see the State Museum of the history of cosmonautics named after K. E. Tsiolkovsky. But once again it so happened that I had to go to Kaluga for one printing, meaning we had to ride 100 miles for 5 minutes. In the end, as in Kaluga, I got the idea to finally carry out his wish.
The state Museum of the history of cosmonautics named after K. E. Tsiolkovsky in Kaluga — the world's first and Russia's largest space Museum. In its creation participated personally famous designer Korolev and Yuri Gagarin. Last June 13, 1961 laid the first stone in the Foundation of the future Museum:
And after 6 years, the new Museum welcomed its first visitors. In the Museum you can get acquainted with the domestic history of cosmonautics, from the first artificial satellite of the Earth to modern long-term orbital stations. However, many of the original machines that had been in space you can see with your own eyes. Continue reading
Comets of the Solar system
Comets: the oldest inhabitants of the Solar system
J. L. Lagrange (1813) was also based on firmly established facts – the presence of comets that definitely move in elliptical orbits, including short-period. He explained the origin of comets gigantic volcanic explosions – emissions (eruption) with giant planets. It is, in principle, could explain the nature of the orbits of short-period comets. Subsequently, the views of La Grange shared and developed a number of scientists, among which the most important contribution of the Soviet astronomer S. K. Bo, who worked in this direction with the 20-ies to 80-ies of our century. He has eliminated the biggest internal difficulty is the concept of Lagrange – the necessity of the ejection of cometary masses (nuclei) with the "surface" of the giant planets with their powerful gravity fields, the overcoming of which requires an initial speed of 60 km/s and more. Giant planets also have thick (the length of many thousands of miles) and very dense atmosphere, in the middle of the twentieth century has been very problematic the very existence of a solid surface planets – giants beneath these atmospheres.

Model of the Solar system
Solar system is a system of planets orbiting around a star, the Sun. Among those planets is our Earth. The solar System consists of the sun and of celestial bodies held by solar gravity. The mass of the sun is about 330 000 times the mass of the earth and makes up 99.8% mass entire solar system. The diameter of the sun is 1 400 000 km, i.e. about 109 Earth diameters. In the solar system except the sun is made up of eight planets, over 150 moons, and small bodies such as asteroids, comets and meteors.
In order of proximity to the Sun, the eight planets are mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune.
To measure distances in the solar system is used "astronomical unit" (AU). One AU corresponds to the distance from the earth to the Sun. Thus, the distance of one AU is nearly 150 million kilometers. For example, Jupiter rotates on its orbit 5.2 AU, i.e. the distance from the Sun is 5.2 times larger than the Earth. Continue reading

Can we eat our way out of our "invasive species" dilemma? Jackson Landers thinks that's part of the solution. The issue of invasives is becoming more prevalent as these species continue to spread, causing ecological destruction and the loss of native species and habitat all throughout our planet. As foragers and hunters, we have the opportunity to assist in the management of these non-native invasive species by targeting them when hunting and gathering.
We've been discussing invasive species throughout this season of ReWild Yourself Podcast, and today's interview will be the first in an informal series investigating the topic.
Our guest Jackson Landers is here to share his personal experience with eating invasives. Jackson is an author, science writer and adventurer based out of Charlottesville, Virginia, specializing in wildlife out of place. His most recent book, Eating Aliens, chronicles a year and a half spent hunting and fishing for invasive species and finding out whether we can eat our way out of some ecological disasters. In this episode, he recounts some of the interesting invasives he's enjoying hunting and eating — from armadillo to lionfish. We discuss the true definition of invasive species, the effectiveness of hunting invasives as a form of eradication and how you can get involved with invasive species management. Enjoy this interview, and let's keep this conversation going as we explore managing invasive species through hunting and gathering together this season!
Author and practiculturalist Ben Hewitt is back on ReWild Yourself Podcast to give us a peek inside his adventures in building a lifestyle living with and from the land. Ben resides on a thriving 100-acre homestead in Vermont where he and his family explore back-to-the-land living, permaculture design, wildcrafting, traditional skills and alternative education paths for their two sons.
In this episode, Ben shares on the evolution of his family's personal journey as modern homesteaders. We discuss alternative childhood education and how his sons' education paths have evolved in some unexpected directions. We also get into the topics of community-based living vs self-sufficient living, harvest sharing and how to strike a balance between foraging and farming. Ben's non-dogmatic approach to this lifestyle is refreshing, and he has some wonderful insights for those aspiring to build their own ReWilded homestead.
I'm often asked for advice on career opportunities in the world of ReWilding. Many people feel stuck in the rut of a 9-5 and dream of doing work in the world that's fulfilling, meaningful, adds value to the lives of others and is in line with their personal beliefs and values. I've spent over a decade setting up a lifestyle where work and play blend seamlessly. It is a beautiful thing to wake up each day and do work that fuels you with passion, drive and purpose. I've seen health and wellness "trends" come and go over the years, and I've found the ones that stand the test of time are those rooted in our ancestral biology. Natural movement is one such niche of the ReWilding lifestyle, and today's episode instructs on how you can get involved with natural movement as a career path.
Danny Clark — MovNat Performance Director and Master Instructor — is here to share a bit about the MovNat Trainer Certification program with us. MovNat is more than a system of natural movements, it is a training platform for enhancing the efficiency of your motility — walking, running, climbing, crawling, bounding and vaulting, lifting and carrying. It is a ReWilding approach to movement, placing its emphasis on retraining the brain and reprogramming our movement software.
I've personally attended the MovNat Level 1 and 2 Trainer Certification courses and can vouch for the caliber of instruction and value received (and fun had!). What I learned from MovNat has helped me to become more efficient in how I move through day to day life. In particular, it has immensely improved my efficiency in hunting and gathering, which I explain more about in this show. If you are interested in a starting a more meaningful career path and are passionate about natural movement, now is a great time to get involved on the ground floor of this budding industry!

Why do I eat wild? There are many reasons behind my choice to eat wild and many levels at which this question can be answered.
Eating food is perhaps the most intimate act we perform, as my friend and regular podcast guest Arthur Haines so eloquently expresses in his lectures. The food — the organisms — you eat literally becomes your body. And, as we know, the dietary choices we make have vast implications on our environment as well as ourselves. Food, and where it comes from, reaches right to the heart of what it means to be human. Our dietary choices today deeply impact the future generations to come. Knowing this, it's so important to be conscientious about the food we consume and how we choose to interact with our interconnected web of ecology.
In my first solo episode of the season, I unpack what eating wild — and living a modern hunter-gatherer lifestyle — means to me personally.
Caitlin Doughty — mortician, author and death acceptance advocate — joins us for a candid and humorous exploration of our mortality. Caitlin is on a mission to help our death-phobic society overcome anxieties about death and make death a part of life. She sheds light on all areas of death and the dying process in her popular Youtube channel "Ask a Mortician" and New York Times best-selling book Smoke Gets in Your Eyes. She founded the death acceptance collective The Order of the Good Death and co-founded Death Salon. She also runs Undertaking LA, a Los Angeles-based nonprofit progressive funeral home that empowers families to have a closer relationship with their loved one's death.
In this episode, Caitlin guides us through our rights — post mortem — and encourages us to consider a question not many are prepared to face: How would you like to die? Throughout our human history, families were responsible for the care of their own dead; the practice of transferring death care to a funeral home is a relatively new custom. Caitlin illuminates the non-funeral home & natural death care options that are available to us — at-home funerals, embracing decay, death doulas, natural burials and conservation cemeteries. Empower yourself to embrace the natural process of death and meaningfully interact with the dying process.
