Custom Product T&Cs
These are the terms and conditions on which we supply products to you (these "Terms") govern all aspects of your order of personalised products made to your specification ("Custom Products"), the design and manufacture of your Custom Products (including website functionality), the order process documents and any associated order process.
- Definitions
- Placing your order. Please follow the onscreen prompts to place a Custom Order online. To place a Custom Order by email or telephone, please contact us by email at firstname.lastname@example.com by telephone at +44 1983 409 790.
- Each Custom Order constitutes an offer by you to purchase Custom Product subject to these Terms.
- Correcting input errors. Our order process allows you to check and amend any errors before submitting your Custom Order to us. Please check your Custom Order carefully before confirming it. You are responsible for ensuring that your Custom Order and any Custom Product Specification is complete and accurate.
- Acknowledging receipt of your Custom Order. After you place a Custom Order, you will receive an email from us acknowledging that we have received it, but please note that this does not mean that your Custom Order has been accepted. Our acceptance of your Custom will take place as described in clause 2.5.
- Accepting your Custom Order. Our acceptance of your Custom Order takes place when we send the email to you to accept it ("Custom Order Confirmation"), at which point the Contract between you and us will come into existence. The Contract will relate only to those Custom Products confirmed in the Custom Order Confirmation.
- If we cannot accept your Custom Order. If we are unable to supply you with the Custom Products for any reason, we will inform you of this by email and we will not process your Custom Order. If you have already paid for the Custom Products, we will refund the full amount including any delivery costs charged as soon as possible.
- Any samples, drawings, descriptive matter or advertising issued by Teemill and any illustrations or descriptions of the Services on Teemill's website are issued or published for the sole purpose of giving an approximate idea of the Services and/or Custom Products described in them. They shall not form part of the Contract or have any contractual force.
- These Terms apply to the Contract to the exclusion of any other terms that you seeks to impose or incorporate, or which are implied by trade, custom, practice or course of dealing.
- Any quotation given by Teemill shall not constitute an offer, and is only valid for a period of 28 from the date of the quote.
- All of these Terms shall apply to the supply of both Custom Products and Services except where application to one or the other is specified.
- Canceling your order and obtaining a refund
- You may cancel the Contract and receive a refund, if you notify us as set out in clause 3.2 of your decision to cancel the Contract before production of the Custom Products commences and the processing confirmation email has been sent by us to you. For the avoidance of doubt, once the production confirmation email has been sent, your Custom Order cannot be cancelled. The right of cancellation does not apply in the case of Custom Orders made via the Studio as they are processed automatically.
- To cancel the Contract you must email us at firstname.lastname@example.com or telephone us on +44 1983 409 790. If you are emailing us please include details of your Custom Order to help us identify it. If you send us your cancellation notice by email, then your cancellation is effective from the date you send us the email. For example, you will have given us notice in time as long as you email us before midnight on that day.
- If you have returned the Custom Products to us under this clause 3 because they are faulty or mis-described, we will replace the faulty Custom Products or issue you with a store credit for the price of the faulty Custom Products.
- Although we have made every effort to be as accurate as possible, due to the nature of our Custom Products, all sizes, weights, capacities, dimensions and measurements indicated on our site have 8% tolerance.
Where you have chosen to create a Custom Product with your own Design, the quality of the Custom Product will depend on the quality of the Design we receive. Images may be uploaded in .png, .jpg or .svg. Any other formats such as Word documents cannot be accepted. The maximum upload size is 5MB. We recommend that all Designs are at least 72 DPI (Dots Per Inch). Many parts of the printing process are automatic, so you are solely responsible for ensuring the quality and suitability of the Design. We will not be not be responsible and/or liable where the Design is of poor quality and therefore the Custom Product (so far as the quality of the Design is concerned) is not of a high standard. You will not be able to reject or return Custom Products on the basis of the quality of the Design where the Design you provided was not of satisfactory quality.
- The images of Custom Products on our site are for illustrative purposes only. Although we have made every effort to display the colours accurately, we cannot guarantee that your device or computer's display of the colours accurately reflect the colour of the Custom Products. The colour of your Custom Products may vary slightly from those images.
- You cannot order high gloss colours, super bright neon colours, metallic colours or glow in the dark colours.
- Teemilll will endeavor to reproduce the colours of the Design with the print colours you have chosen as closely as possible. Extreme colours such as neon shades or raster gradients with transparency will be normalized to their nearest achievable hue and saturation. We will choose the closest match possible but we are unable to guarantee that the colours will be an exact reproduction of the Design. You will not be able to reject or return the Custom Products for this reason except to the extent that you feel that the Cusom Products no longer materially conform with your Custom Product Specification.
- Some aspects of the manufacturing process are completed by hand. As such, we will endeavour to position the Design on the Custom Product exactly as you have designed it but we are unable to guarantee that the positioning will be an exact reproduction of your Custom Product Specification. You will not be able to reject or return the Custom Products for this reason except to the extent that you feel that the Custom Products no longer materially conform with your Custom Product Specification.
- We use several printing methods for producing Custom Products (e.g. DTG printing, screen printing and white label manufacturing). Unless otherwise agreed in writing by us:
- a print run of 49 or less Custom Products which have been ordered online will be produced using DTG printing;
- a print run of between 50 and 9,999 Custom Products will be produced using screen printing; and
- a print run of more than 10,000 Custom Products will be produced using white label manufacturing.
If you place a Custom Order via Studio, a third party site or API, and you order more than 30 Custom Products with the same Custom Product Specification, we may, at our sole discretion, upgrade at our own cost the DTG printing to screen printing if we consider that one or more aspects of your Custom Order would better suit that method of production. You will not be able to reject the Custom Products on the basis of the printing method used.
- Due to the printing methods we use, your Custom Products will vary slightly from the image displayed on your device or computer screen. For example, computers displaying designs digitally show a solid block of colour where there is colour whereas in reality this translates to an ink being printed onto a coloured fabric. You should expect to see the fibrous, woven nature of the material in your print and for the coverage to be analogous, not digital. For example, for dark garments we will use a white background on prints with light colours but even in doing so it is normal to be able to see the material between the printed fibres at extremely close range. You will not be able to reject or return Custom Products for this reason except to the extent that you feel that the Custom Products no longer materially conform with your Custom Product Specification.
- Production methods and the resulting Custom Products may vary so we cannot guarantee that if you subsequently re-order Custom Products to the same Custom Product Specification the Custom Products will be an exact replication of your original Custom Order.
- To the extent that the Custom Products are to be manufactured in accordance with a Custom Product Specification supplied by you, you shall indemnify Teemill against all liabilities, costs, expenses, damages and losses (including any direct, indirect or consequential losses, loss of profit, loss of reputation and all interest, penalties and legal costs (calculated on a full indemnity basis) and all other reasonable professional costs and expenses) suffered or incurred by Teemill arising out of or in connection with any claim made against Teemill for actual or alleged infringement of a third party's intellectual property rights arising out of or in connection with Teemill's use of the Custom Product Specification. This clause 4.10 shall survive termination of the Contract.
- Teemill reserves the right to amend the Custom Product Specification if required by any applicable statutory or regulatory requirement, and Teemill shall notify you in any such event.
- Where a certification (if any) is stated it will only apply to the garment or Teemill and will not extend to any embellishments or labelling. Individual certifying bodies may have their own terms of use for the certifications that relate to the garment. You are permitted to state that Teemill is audited or certified by the relevant certifying body to the extent that we are audited or certified by that certifying body. Your Custom Order does not include any permissions or licenses to use any third party certifications, trademarks, artwork, logos or licenses in your product, marketing or otherwise. We strongly recommend that you read the latest guidelines from the the certification bodies that regulate the use of their logos to understand best practises when communicating these features.
- All our Custom Products are labelled in accordance with applicable laws. If you would like to add, remove or replace labels to your specifications, please contact us by email at email@example.com or by telephone at +44 1983 409 790.
- Depending on the size of your Custom Order, the Custom Products will be delivered in a paper based mailer, a plant based biothene mailer or a recycled cardboard box. If you have any specific packaging requirements (e.g. individual bagging, box breakdowns or box barcodes), please contact us by email at email@example.com or by telephone at +44 1983 409 790.

- If you provide us with any suggestions, comments or other feedback relating to the Custom Products (whether existing, suggested or contemplated), which is or may be subject to any Intellectual Property Rights ("Feedback"), such Feedback shall be exclusively owned by Teemill. By providing such Feedback to Teemill you:
- represent and warrant that such Feedback is accurate, complete, and does not infringe any third party Intellectual Property Rights;
- irrevocably assign to Teemill any right, title and interest you may have in such Feedback;

- Teemill shall ensure that each delivery of the Custom Products is accompanied by a delivery note which shows the date of the Custom Order, the type and quantity of the Custom Products (including the code number of the Custom Products, where applicable), special storage instructions (if any) and, if the Custom Order is being delivered by instalments, the outstanding balance of Custom Products remaining to be delivered.
- Teemill shall deliver the Custom Products to a third party carrier ("Delivery Location") at any time after Teemill notifies you that the Custom Products are ready.
- Delivery of the Custom Products shall be completed on the completion of unloading of the Custom Products at the Delivery Location.
- Any dates quoted for delivery of the Custom Products are approximate only, and the time of delivery is not of the essence. Teemill shall not be liable for any delay in delivery of the Custom Products that is caused by an Event Outside Our Control or your failure to provide Teemill with adequate delivery instructions or any other instructions that are relevant to the supply of the Custom Products.
- If Teemill fails to deliver the Custom Products, our liability is limited to the cost of obtaining replacement Custom Products of a similar description and quality in the cheapest market available, less the price of the Custom Products. However, Teemill will not be liable to the extent that any failure to deliver was caused by an Event Outside Our Control, or because you failed to provide adequate delivery instructions or any other instructions that are releant to the supply of goods.
- If you fail to accept delivery of the Custom Products within three Working Days of Teemill notifying you that the Custom Products are ready, then except where such failure or delay is caused by an Event Outside Our Control or by Teemill's failure to comply with its obligations under the Contract in respect of the Custom Products:
- delivery of the Custom Products shall be deemed to have been completed at 9.00 am on the third Working Day following the day on which Teemill notified you that the Custom Products were ready; and

- If Teemill delivers up to and including 5% more or less than the quantity of Custom Products ordered you may not reject them, but on receipt of notice from you that the wrong quantity of Custom Products was delivered, Teemill shall make a pro rata adjustment to the invoice for the Custom Products.
- Teemill may deliver the Custom Products by instalments, which shall be invoiced and paid for separately. Each instalment shall constitute a separate contract. Any delay in delivery or defect in an instalment shall not entitle you to cancel any other instalment.
- International Delivery
- We deliver to the countries listed on this page ("International Delivery Destinations").
- If you order Custom Products from our site to delivery to one of the International Delivery Destinations, your Custom Order may be subject to import duties and taxes which are applied when the delivery reaches that destination. Please note that we have no control over these charges and we cannot predict their amount.
- You will be responsible for payment of any such import duties and taxes. Please contact your local customs office for further information before placing your Custom Order.
- You must comply with all applicable laws and regulations of the country for which the Custom Products are destined. We will not be liable or responsible if you break any such law.
- Price of Custom Products and Delivery Charges
- The prices of the Custom Products will be as quoted on our site at the time you submit your Custom Order. We use our best efforts to ensure that the prices of Custom Products are correct at the time when the relevant information was entered onto the system. However, please see clause 8.5 for what happens if we discover an error in the price of Custom Products you ordered.
- Prices for our Custom Products may change from time to time, but changes will not affect any Custom Order that is already in production. If in the unlikely event that prices change before production commences, we will contact you and give you the option to cancel or change your order, or proceed with an updated balance.
- The price of Custom Products excludes VAT (where applicable) at the applicable current rate chargeable in the UK for the time being. However, if the rate of VAT changes between the date of your Custom Order and the date of delivery, we will adjust the VAT you pay, unless you have already paid for the Custom Products in full before the change in VAT takes effect.
- The price of the Custom Products does not include delivery charges. Our delivery charges are as advised to you during the check-out process, before you confirm your Custom Order. To check relevant delivery charges, please refer to our Delivery Charges page .
- We sell a large number of Custom Products through our site. It is always possible that, despite our best efforts, some of the Custom Products on our site may be incorrectly priced. We will normally check prices as part of our dispatch procedures so that:
- where the Custom Products' correct price is less than the price stated on our site, we will charge the lower amount when dispatching the Custom Products to you; and
- if the Custom Products' correct price is higher than the price stated on our site, we will contact you as soon as possible to inform you of this error and we will give you the option of continuing to purchase the Custom Products at the correct price or cancelling your Custom Order. We will not process your Custom Order until we have your instructions. If we are unable to contact you using the contact details you provided during the order process, we will treat the Custom Order as cancelled and notify you in writing. If we mistakenly accept and process your Custom Order where a pricing error is obvious and unmistakeable and could reasonably have been recognised by you as a mispricing, we may cancel supply of the Custom Products and refund any sums you have paid.
- How to Pay
- You can only pay for Custom Products using a debit or credit card, unless we agree otherwise in writing. You can see the up to date list of acceptable payment methods online when you confirm and pay for your order

Thinking about a Mortgage?
Unless you are an all cash buyer, you will need a "financial partner" , also known as a MORTGAGE LENDER, to provide the funds you don't have to purchase your new home. This requires you to convince your new "Partner", that you have the capability to pay back the funds they will advance you to enable you to purchase your home.
Whether you're a first-time buyer looking for the perfect starter house, or a seasoned pro trading up to your Custom Mountain dream home, you are probably asking the same questions: Can I afford this? And is this the right move at the right time?
Of course, you can use a mortgage calculator and ask the experts — lenders, agents, and mom — but the reality is that you are the only one who truly knows whether you can afford to buy right now. And, painful as it is, what you need to start with is a detailed income vs expense report. Analyze what you earn and what you spend (without considering the expected new mortgage) — at least get a full month's snapshot.
You'll see where you may have wiggle room in your budget and what you can afford for housing.

Finally! Did it seem like Jessica Simpson had been pregnant for the past decade? Well, she gave birth this morning to a 9-pound, 13-ounce baby girl. After a short run of old-fashioned baby names like Pearl, given to the newborn daughter of Jake Osbourne, and Gloria, given to Maggie Gyllenhaal and Peter Saarsgard's daughter, Jessica went with something a little more unusual. Well, unusual for a girl, that is.
Are you ready for Jessica Simpson's baby girl's name? Check it out ...
Jessica went with Maxwell Drew. Tah-dah! Kind of a boy's name, right? Drew comes from Jessica's maternal grandmother's maiden name. No word yet on what exactly inspired Maxwell, but Jessica, who had revealed previously that this would most likely be her baby's name, has said she wanted the name to be "meaningful." Plus, she's a huge fan of Maxwell House coffee. Kidding!
More from The Stir: Tori Spelling Defends Jessica Simpson for Being 'Fat' (VIDEO)
I like the idea of giving babies gender-neutral names. And I even like some traditional boys' names for girls -- like Bailey or even Drew, the baby's middle name. But I don't know about Maxwell. It's just too boyish for me, personally.
Jessica and her fiance, Eric Johnson, aren't the first celebs to give their baby girl a traditional boy's name though. Denise Richards and Charlie Sheen have a baby girl named Sam (not short for Samantha). Can't say I'm a big fan of that either.
I'm guessing people will end up calling little Maxwell by the diminutive Max, in which case she could say her name was Maxine, if she liked. But, of course, being the daughter of Jessica Simpson, everyone will know she's lying! Maybe she'll go by Maxi. Or Welly?
What do you think of the name Maxwell Drew for a girl?

Hitting coach Hansen will not be back with LA in 2013
Hansen is the only member of manager Don Mattingly's staff not being brought back. He has been offered another position in the organization but has not decided to accept, the club said. Hansen, who played 11 seasons for the Dodgers in two stints, has not been available for comment.
Returning will be pitching coach Rick Honeycutt, third-base coach Tim Wallach (who will interview for the Boston managing job next week), first-base coach Davey Lopes, bench coach Trey Hillman and bullpen coach Ken Howell.
The 43-year-old Hansen takes the fall for a disappointing offense that never overcame the hamstring and shoulder injuries that hobbled the lineup's focal point, Matt Kemp.
Even with the second-half additions of All Stars Hanley Ramirez, Adrian Gonzalez and Shane Victorino, the Dodgers offense repeatedly failed to mount a consistent attack. The Dodgers' offense finished 13th in runs scored and in RBIs.
The Dodgers have run through six hitting coaches in the seven seasons Ned Colletti has been general manager. Hansen took over last summer for Jeff Pentland, who was preceded by Mattingly, Mike Easler, Bill Mueller and Eddie Murray.
Honeycutt will be entering his eighth season as Dodgers pitching coach, coming off a 2012 season in which the Dodgers were edged by Washington for the best team ERA in the league. Wallach, Lopes and Hillman will be entering their third seasons as coaches for Mattingly. It will be Howell's sixth season as bullpen coach.

I'll ask the question first and then explain why it is so. I have the following .tex file:
\usepackage{upquote} % convert verbatim ' from left single quote to a "normal" single quote
Test: \verb.'. vs \usebox{\myquote}
In this tex file, the
\verb.'. turns out as a
', and the
\usebox{\myquote} looks like a curly left single quote. This is because even though I
\usepackage{upquote} (which converts the curly left single quote to the straight single quote within verbatim/verb), it's loaded in after the definition of
\myquote so it's too late for the
upquote package to affect what sort of quote happens in
Question: assuming I can only put code after the
\setbox line, is there some way to make the quote mark in
\myquote appear as a straight single quote?
I am basically looking to add a command like
\edef\myquote\myquote after the
\usepackage{upquote}, so that the definition of
\myquote is basically re-evaluated before assigning it back to
\myquote. The re-evaluation will cause the
\verb.'. to be parsed according to the modifications made in
\usepackage{upquote}, causing the quote to be a single quote again.
You may ask why I don't use load
upquote before I define
myquote; well, I am using a document generation package called Sweave (for the language R). I basically can embed write R code into my (otherwise LaTeX-looking) document, call Sweave on it, and it will produce a .tex file with the code (& results) nicely printed within. Sweave inserts all of these
\newsavebox commands before the preamble that I put in the original document. That is, I cannot change the order of the
\newsavebox command to be after the
As a last resort I can copy/paste the
\setbox\myquote=\hbox... that gets generated by Sweave into my own document preamble (i.e. after the
\usepackage{upquote}), but then should the Sweave package change their definition of
\myquote (say they change the
normalsize to something else) I'll have to change my definition to remain in sync.
It'd be preferable to do the re-definition as if I only knew the command was
\myquote (and knowing it has
\verb.'. in it somewhere so that I know the
upquote package will have effect) and not its actual definition.
I hope that makes sense.

Added 22, November:
I've succeeded in making the question entirely unintelligible with all my additions. So I thought I would summarize it in the simplest form I could manage and add it to the title. The question is thereby somewhat narrower in scope than my original query, but I would be happy to have this focused version answered.
The main point is that the loose answer
(A) because the outer shell is filled
frequently heard is definitely wrong. If we take the usual definition of a shell, all the noble gases but Helium have just the s and p subshells (corresponding to the representations $V_0\otimes S$ and $V_1\otimes S$) filled in the outermost shell, and this is not a full shell once the atom is bigger than Argon. The wikipedia article on noble gases offers an amusing formulation whereby, for a noble gas, 'the outer shell of valence electrons is considered to be "full"' (my emphasis).
All this led to my initial confusion: I thought that the term 'shell' must mean something else for multi-electron systems in a manner adapted to the answer (A). Such an alternative definition does not seem to exist, and it is not at all obvious how to come up with one in a non-tautological way. So I believe the essence of what I am asking is whether or not there is
a natural mathematical explanation for the stability of noble gases
that is more or less independent of experiments confirmed by difficult computations using approximation schemes.
Anyone interested in the background and details is invited to read the incoherent paragraphs below, or to look up a proper reference like Atkin's book on physical chemistry.
Added, 21 November:
Having read some more here and there, I should make some terminological corrections, in case I mislead anyone with my ignorance. I will do so here, and leave the text below as written, in case the temporary confusion is helpful to other interested non-experts.
Firstly, as far as I can tell, the word 'orbital' does seem to refer to a wavefunction, not a representation. So the eigenfunctions in the second occurrence of the representation $V_1\otimes S$ will be called the $3p$-orbitals. That is, the individual wavefunction is an orbital, while the representation itself might be referred to as the so-and-so orbitals, in the plural. The definitive term for any given occurrence of an irreducible representation in $L^2\otimes S$ seems to be subshell.
Secondly, I finally read the wikipedia article on shells. It doesn't help much with my questions, but it does describe the convention regarding the term 'shell'. As far as I can tell, the shells are simply the direct sums of the following form:
K-shell: $1s$
L-shell: $2s\oplus 2p$
M-shell: $3s \oplus 3p \oplus 3d$
N-shell: $4s\oplus 4p \oplus 4d\oplus 4f $
O-shell: $5s\oplus 5p \oplus 5d\oplus 5f\oplus 5g $
and so on. (In case you're wondering, the representations after $V_3\otimes S=f$ are labeled consecutively in the alphabet.) The key point is that, in this form, a shell does not consist of a grouping of subshells of similar energies when more than a few electrons are present. Rather, the conventional description of the phenomena says that more than one shell can be incomplete in an atom. For example, in the fourth row of the periodic table, starting with potassium (K) and up to copper (Cu), they say both the $M$-shell and the $N$-shell are incomplete. If this is confusing to you, I suggest you don't worry about it. I just wanted to point out that my question `what is a shell?' has a clear-cut answer in this usage. If we don't want to go against this convention, we need to stick to the version
`What determines a period?'
I'm very sorry for all the confusion.
Added, 19 November:
After receiving the nice answers from Jeff and Antoine, I realized that I should sharpen the question somewhat more. I like Neil's formulation, but I think I am asking something much more naive. Allow me to start by providing more background for mathematicians whose knowledge is as hazy as mine. As mentioned by Jeff and Antoine, the Hamiltonian for a system of $N$ electrons moving around a nucleus of charge $Z$ looks like
$$H=-\frac{\hbar^2}{2m}\sum_{i=1}^N \Delta_i-\sum_{i=1}^N \frac{Ze^2}{r_i}+ \sum \frac{e^2}{r_{ij}}.$$
In principle, one would like to understand the structure of discrete spectrum solutions to the eigenvalue equation $$H\psi=E\psi.$$ One characterizes solutions using labels called 'quantum numbers'. In general, there is an objective label often denoted $l$, the angular momentum quantum number. This comes from the fact that there is an $SO(3)\times SU(2)$ symmetry, breaking up solutions into the irreducible representations $V_l\otimes S$, mentioned earlier. All the vectors in a given irreducible representation must have the same energy level $E$, because a basis for the space can be obtained from a highest weight vector by applying elements of $LieSO(3)$. Any given $V_l\otimes S$ is called a subshell or an orbital (I'm a bit unclear about this because the term 'orbital' is also used for the individual eigenfunctions) and is described using the (historical) labels
$$V_0\otimes S \leftrightarrow s$$ $$V_1\otimes S \leftrightarrow p$$ $$V_2\otimes S \leftrightarrow d$$ $$V_3\otimes S \leftrightarrow f$$
The principal quantum number is determined as follows. We order all the orbitals by energy levels, and the $n$-th time $V_0 \otimes S$ occurs, we call that subspace $ns$. However, the $n$-th time that $V_1\otimes S$ occurs, we call it $(n+1)p$. In general, the $n$-th time $V_l\otimes S$ occurs, the label is
$(n+l+1)$(whatever letter $l$ corresponds to).
For example, the orbital $3d$ is the first occurrence of the representation $V_2\otimes S$. When there is just one electron in a $1/r$ potential, these $n$ really label the order of the energy levels, and $d$ really occurs the first time in the third energy level. This is the reason for the shift in labeling, even though this correspondence with energy levels breaks down for multi-electron systems. In fact, in neutral atoms with $N=Z$, the energy levels are ordered like $$1s<2s<2p<3s<3p<4s<3d <4p<5s<4d<5p<6s< \ldots$$ (It's not supposed to be obvious how to fill in the $\ldots$. However, I've been told that knowing $4s<3d$ is essential to passing A-level chemistry in England.) I hope it is clear from this that the orbitals (or the subshells) are completely well-defined and have a labeling scheme that is a bit odd, but makes sense when the obvious translation is combined with history. So the real question is
What determines a shell?
Some energy-non-decreasing consecutive sequence of subshells is a shell. The shells then determine the rows of the periodic table (if we ignore the added complication that $Z$ is also increasing as we move right and down).
Now, it is tempting to conclude that the standard convention is a bit arbitrary. After all, the chemical similarity of the columns could possibly be explained simply by the fact that
they have the same representation of $SO(3)\times SU(2)$ at the uppermost energy level, and the same number of electrons in this representation
without any reference to an outermost shell at all. This pattern can be easily seen by the arrangement into blocks shown here. And then, unlike the $N=1$ case, the energy levels in one shell are not even the same, just rather close to each other.
Unfortunately, the grouping into rows represents real phenomena. This comes out very clearly, for example, in the graph of ionization energies, with the noticeable peaks at the end of the rows immediately followed by precipitous drops. So I believe a bit of thought reduces a good deal of my original question to two parts:
Is there some reason for a big gap in ionization energy when one moves to an $s$-orbital?
Can one show that two orbitals of the same type are necessarily separated by a huge energy gap, so that it is highly unlikely for them to occur in the same shell?
1 and 2 together make it natural that the dimensions we see in each shell will be of the form
2, 2+6, 2+6+10, 2+6+10+14, etc,
even in the general case. Of course, this doesn't say anything about how many times each combination is likely to occur.
In any case, I hope there is a mathematical answer to these two questions that doesn't involve a full-blown programme in hard analysis.
At the more speculative end, one might analyze a family of operators like $$H_{\epsilon}=-\frac{\hbar^2}{2m}\sum_{i=1}^N \Delta_i-\sum_{i=1}^N\frac{Ze^2}{r_i}+\epsilon \sum \frac{e^2}{r_{ij}}.$$ Is there a way to see the numbers we see occurring via the spectral flow of this family as we go from $\epsilon =0 $ to $\epsilon=1$? But maybe this is just as difficult as giving a full account of the structures using analysis.
By the way, I certainly wouldn't like to complain, but it is a bit puzzling to me why some people regard this question as inappropriate for the site. Since I don't keep too well in touch with cultural trends in the mathematical world, maybe I am unaware of how much things have changed since I was a Ph.D. student. In those days, a programme like
Prove the stability of matter, based only on the Schroedinger equation
was regarded as an example of an important mathematical problem motivated by atomic structure, tackled by people like Fefferman and Lieb. The questions I ask here are hopefully much easier, but still research-level mathematics to my mind.
Original question:
This question prompts me to ask something more specific about the periodic table. As far as I know, the main significance of the periodic table is that
The elements in the same column have similar chemical properties.
For example, the noble gases at the far right are all pretty stable on their own. The explanation for this is that they have (in the neutral state) a full outermost shell. Now my question is
Is there an explanation, at some reasonable level of mathematical rigor, of when a new shell starts?
That is, where do the lengths of the periods
2, 8, 8, 18, 18, 32, 32
come from? I confess I've been puzzled by this ever since my university physics course.
Allow me to pinpoint my confusion a bit more. I understand that there are some numbers that are important in atomic structure, and these are 2, 6, 10, 14, and so on. This is because of the occurrence of the representations
$$V_l\otimes S$$
inside the Hilbert space for a single particle moving in a central potential. These are the orbitals one hears about in physical chemistry courses. Here, the $V_l$ are the representations of $SO(3)$ of odd-dimension $2l+l$, while $S$ is the standard two-dim representation of $SU(2)$. Since all the states in a single orbital have the same energy, it is natural that the breaks will occur after some collection of orbitals are all filled.
Thus, for a hydrogen atom, the successive shells have dimensions
for $n=1, 2, 3, \ldots$ because the representations $V_l\otimes S$ for $l=1, 2,\ldots, n-1$ occur each with multiplicity one inside the $n$-th shell.
So if the periods in the table were of lengths
2, 8, 18, 32,
I would have vaguely assumed that the pattern of shells even in general looks like that of the hydrogen atom. But of course, among the known elements, each period length that occurs in the hydrogen atom is repeated twice, except for the first one. So a more precise question is
Is there a reasonable mathematical explanation of this `multiplicity two' of the periods?
The little I recall of discussions in standard textbooks were quite unclear. There are various rules by the name of Hund's rule, the Aufbau principle, and so on, but I couldn't gather from any of them
*Where the breaks should occur. *
What I do see is that periods end when the orbitals 1p, 2p, 3p, etc. get filled following the Aufbau principle. (Here, p is the chemist's label for $V_1\otimes S$.) So perhaps another version of the question is
Is there some reason that the p-orbitals mark the end of the periods?
To be honest, I've never understood the Aufbau principle either, because I don't know the rationale behind the principal quantum number for the larger atoms. That is, the number 4 in the orbital 4p refers to the 4-th energy level in the case of the hydrogen atom. But for larger nuclei, the $n $ in orbital '$np$' does not refer to the energy level. (This discrepancy is in fact implied by the Aufbau principle.) So what is the significance of the $n$ in general that enables them to play some role in a physical principle?
I realize this question is becoming incoherent already. Nevertheless, I would very much appreciate clarification on any sensible version of it at a level of mathematical rigor of your choice. (I am not asking for any axiomatics.) Pointers to an accessible reference would be equally welcome.
As with the earlier question, a word of explanation is in order on the decision to post this on Math Overflow. I will draw upon an analogy I read long ago in an article of George Mackey's that went something like this: Say my mother tongue is Korean. If I would really like to use English fluently, it is probably best eventually to learn from native speakers of English. On the other hand, if I would like a good translation into Korean of English literature, it is better to consult an educated Korean who knows a lot about English. Of course answers from real physicists will be very gratefully received, especially if they bear in mind that the query comes from someone who struggles against a serious language handicap.

Will Smith in your face
Most of you will, at some point today, have Men In Black 3 thrown in your face after you leave my blog. Or, perhaps you'd already had it thrown in your face before you visited my blog. That was their intention. Sony announced this morning that they're promoting the MIB3 trailer across ALL its platforms. That's an estimated total audience of 750 million.
I won't lie: I was happy to see Will Smith. It's been a long time. By the time MIB3 arrives in theatres, it will have been almost 4 years. Most movie stars these days, they don't have the luxury of such an extended break. During Will's extended break, the Movie Star took a series of fatal blows. In his absence, the Movie Star was greatly weakened.
10 years after the release of Men In Black 2, what of the Movie Star, Will Smith? Is there still an audience to support the 3rd installment?
Me, I've already admitted - I am programmed to like Will Smith; I can't help myself. When I have to criticise Will Smith about the Church, I feel like I'm going against nature; like I'm wearing blue contact lenses or having surgery for a double eyelid. I wish he'd stop making me do that. They say that the script for MIB3 was a work in progress while they were rolling. They say that they had to stop rolling at one point because they couldn't fix it. I have no expectations that MIB3 will be good. I have no expectations that it will be anywhere close to good. But I'm not going to add mine to the boring screech of snarky voices today sh-tting on this teaser. Because as teasers go...
This teaser trailer doesn't suck. And you can't deny the irresistible Movie Star pull of Will Smith. Also, Josh Brolin is AWESOME. I had to watch it 3 times to figure out whether or not that's his voice or Tommy Lee Jones's. Sarah from Cinesnark says it is indeed Brolin. As she puts it - he's a great mimic and is underappreciated for it. She's right. I certainly never appreciated him for it until now.
A good teaser doesn't guarantee a good movie. Of course not. That is a different discussion. THIS discussion is about the return of Will Smith. And how nice it was to see his (ageless) face in a preview today not having anything to do with alien teaching methods and Tom Cruise.

Jewish Migration to the United States

This article is part of a series.
|Overview of Jewish American Research
|Jewish Migration to the United States
|Holocaust Research
|Finding Jewish Records
|List of Useful Jewish Research Resources
This article originally appeared in "Jewish American Research" by Gary Mokotoff in The Source: A Guidebook to American Genealogy
Jewish migration to the United States is divisible into periods. For each there are sources of information for doing genealogical research.
|Number of Immigrants
|Fewer than 15,000
|German emigration
|Eastern European emigration
|Holocaust survivors
|Russian Jews and others
|Up to 50,000 per year
Colonial Period (1654'1838)
The first Jews to come to North America arrived in 1654 at the Dutch colony of New Amsterdam (renamed New York in 1664). Most were refugees from the Dutch colony of Recife, Brazil, which was conquered by the Portuguese that year. The Jews, fearing persecution from the Portuguese Inquisition, left with plans to go to Holland, the home of many Sephardic Jews who had fled the Spanish Inquisition 150 years earlier. However, they ran out of money and were forced to land at the Dutch colony.
Because Jews in the New World were allowed to practice their religion in a relatively nondiscriminatory environment, record books of American synagogues exist back to colonial times. Besides New York, early Jewish settlements were founded in Savannah, Georgia (1733); Philadelphia (1745); Charleston, South Carolina (1749); Newport, Rhode Island (1763); and Richmond, Virginia (1789).
There are records for this period at the American Jewish Historical Society and the American Jewish Archives, as well as at the synagogue archives themselves.
The definitive genealogical work, now out of print, is First American Jewish Families by Rabbi Malcolm H. Stern, fasg.1 It contains the genealogies (descendants) of every Jewish person known to the author who arrived in the United States before 1838 who remained Jewish for at least one generation. Some fifty thousand persons are identified in it.
German Emigration (1838'80)
Much information about this group can be found using conventional American genealogical resources; little is available through synagogue records. Family historians who have attempted to do German emigration research, Jewish or Christian, know about the paucity of information available for tracing ancestry back to Germany. Ship manifests and citizenship papers provide no clues as to ancestral towns in Germany, so genealogists must dig for information. Family records or death records may hold clues. For example, Jewish immigrants who arrived in the nineteenth century are among the most difficult of Jewish ancestors to document; however, Jewish tombstones of German immigrants have been known to indicate the town of birth. Check census records as well; census takers sometimes wrote down the town of birth rather than the country of birth on the census record.
Most German Jews left through the ports of Hamburg and Bremen. Emigration lists from Hamburg for the years 1850 to 1934 have survived and are available on microfilm through the Family History Library of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Salt Lake City, Utah. Two separate indexes exist, both arranged by year. One, called the direct index, lists ships that sailed directly to the United States. The other, the indirect index, lists ships that stopped at other ports prior to coming across the Atlantic. Virtually no lists from Bremen exist today. They were destroyed in periodic purges. The earliest surviving lists are from 1920. Gyugyugujygjuy gbguyyfyyjfjutybfut
East European Emigration (1881'1924)
In 1881, Czar Alexander II was assassinated, and the Russians blamed it on the Jews. Decades of pogroms against the Jewish population followed. This anti-Semitism, along with deplorable economic conditions, drove millions of Jews from Eastern Europe; 2 million went to the United States. Most Jewish Americans are descended from these persons, and there is a wealth of genealogical information about them.
Passenger Arrival Lists
To learn more about this wave of immigrants (Jewish and others), the U.S. government began documenting them more carefully during the 1890s. Passenger arrival records included age, occupation, nationality, town of last residence, final destination, and other data. Starting in 1906, place of birth was added, and in 1907, name and address of the nearest relative in the immigrant's native country were added. The National Archives in Washington, D.C., has on microfilm the ship manifests and indexes to these lists. Most of these have been digitized and placed on the Internet. The Statue of Liberty-Ellis Island Foundation has records for Ellis Island from 1892'1924 online at http://ellisisland.org with an every-name index, but superior access to these images can be found at http://stevemorse.org. Records of Castle Garden, predecessor to Ellis Island can be found at http://www.castlegarden.org, as well as on Ancestry.com. Ancestry.com also provides indexes and images of other ports, including Baltimore, Boston, Galveston, Philadelphia, San Francisco, and other ports of less interest to Jewish research. Copies of these microfilms are available through the Family History Library and regional branches of the National Archives. If access to any of these Internet sites or facilities is difficult, you can request copies by writing to the National Archives, Washington, DC 20408.
Citizenship Papers
Most Jewish immigrants became citizens of the United States. Even those who decided not to complete the process usually went through the first step by filling out a declaration of intention. The declaration of intention form included a number of questions, such as date of birth, date of marriage, arrival date, name of ship, current address, and, in certain years, name at time of arrival in the United States. Consequently, declarations of intention are valuable resources for Jewish American research. Because the submitter was the actual immigrant, it is not unusual to find more accurate information, such as birth dates, in citizenship papers. The location of these papers depends on which court naturalized the individual. If the certificate of naturalization, thought by many to be the 'citizenship papers,' is in the family's possession, it will show the county, state, or federal court in which the citizen was naturalized. Contact the court to learn the current location of the records.
Another way to determine the court of naturalization is through voter registration records. Immigrants had to prove their citizenship, and these records often indicate the court where naturalized. Contact the board of elections where the immigrant lived to determine if the records still exist. Otherwise, the long (six months to one year) route must be taken: contact the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service, Washington, DC 20530. Some naturalization records have been microfilmed by the Family History Library. For more information on naturalization records, see chapter 9, 'Immigration Records.'
Town Societies
Jewish immigrants formed societies based on their towns of origin; these were called landsmanshaftn societies. Membership in such a group invariably meant that the person came from the town or a neighboring town. One function of these groups was to buy land in a Jewish cemetery. Even if it cannot be determined that an ancestor was a member of a landsmanshaftn society, burial in a plot owned by such a group implies that the ancestor came from that town. (Be aware that the burial societies also sold burial plots to outsiders, so such evidence is not conclusive.) The archives of the YIVO Institute for Jewish Research, 15 W. 16th St., New York, NY 10011, has a large number of records of these societies. The institute has published its holdings in A Guide to YIVO's Landsmanshaftn Archive.2
Pre-Holocaust Period (1924'44)
Because this period is contemporary, a principal source of information is the individuals themselves or their children. A wealth of twentieth-century documentation on Americans described elsewhere in this book can be used as well.
Holocaust Survivors (1945'60)
Holocaust survivors who were friends and neighbors of victims can often provide valuable information. The National Registry of Jewish Holocaust Survivors contains the names of more than one hundred thousand survivors and their families living in the United States and Canada. The book is available in many Holocaust centers and major libraries. A list of institutions can be found at http://ushmm.org/remembrance/registry. The organization that created the registry will forward letters to survivors. Write to the American Gathering/Federation of Jewish Holocaust Survivors, 122 W. 30th St., New York, NY 10001.

Japan trade hit by Europe crisis, China tensionsBy Elaine Kurtenbach on October 22, 2012
More from BusinessweekTOKYO (AP) — Japan's trade deficit widened in September as exports plunged 10.3 percent from a year earlier, weighed down by Europe's debt crisis and a surge in antagonisms with China that have damaged close economic ties.
BusinessweekMore About "japan hit with europe and china"
The world's third-largest economy is "leveling off," central bank governor Masaaki Shirakawa told a quarterly meeting of the bank's regional managers. He warned that the risk of shocks to the financial system from the debt crisis in Europe remains high and slowing global growth is hitting manufacturing and exports.
With the risk of recession rising, the Bank of Japan needs to convince markets that it will do anything necessary to pull the economy out of its two-decade old malaise, said Matthew Circosta, an economist with Moody's Analytics in Sydney, Australia.
Instead of sporadic monetary easing, "they need to make it sustained and powerful," he said. "They've just got to be more aggressive than they are now."
Many expect the central bank to opt for further easing soon, perhaps as early as the next board meeting, on Oct. 30.
September's exports totaled 5.4 trillion yen ($68.7 billion). Imports rose 4 percent from a year earlier to 5.9 trillion yen ($75.9 billion), inflated by additional imports of oil and other fuels for power generation as most nuclear reactors remain offline in the aftermath of last year's Fukushima nuclear disaster.
So far, Japan's trade deficit for 2012, according to the ministry's provisional figures, is about 4.73 trillion yen ($60.6 billion).
The ministry figures show exports to all regions falling, apart from a meager 0.4 percent year-on-year gain in shipments to North America. Exports to crisis-stricken Europe plummeted 26 percent.
A territorial dispute with China that sparked anti-Japanese riots in September took a heavy toll, with exports to China sinking 14 percent from a year earlier to 953.4 billion yen ($12.2 billion). Imports from China climbed 3.8 percent to 1.28 trillion yen ($16.4 billion).
The rise in antagonisms over disputed islands in the East China Sea has been especially hard on the auto industry. Auto exports fell 15 percent in September from the year before
The strong Japanese yen has hurt the country's export competitiveness, while demand has evaporated as growth slowed in most regions. Exports of consumer electronics, a mainstay, fell by double-digit figures from a year earlier.
Resource-scarce Japan is almost entirely dependent on imported fuel, and it has long relied on robust exports of high-value consumer goods and industrial products such as machine tools to help counter the cost of importing its energy needs.
With most of the country's nuclear plants shut down, manufacturers and utilities have increased their reliance on traditional energy sources such as oil and gas, while stepping up conservation and investments in renewable energy.
Boosted partly by higher prices, imports of fuels jumped 18 percent in September from a year earlier to 2.15 trillion yen ($27.6 billion), accounting for more than a third of Japan's total imports.

Ditch Depression, Decrease RA Symptoms
Discover how fighting back against depression can help ease the pain of rheumatoid arthritis.
When you're suffering from the aches and pain of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), it's easy to become depressed. Limited mobility, constant pain and relentless fatigue can erode anyone's joy for life.
In fact, depression and RA often coexist and directly influence one another: Depression typically worsens the pain, and the worse the aches, the more severe the depression.
"Pain and depression are the twin burdens of arthritis," says Alex Zautra, PhD, a professor of psychology at Arizona State University in Tempe who studies the role of positive emotions in health. "And there's evidence that depression influences immunity. If you're depressed, you may have more inflammation."
According to research, people with RA are more than twice as likely to experience depression. One study from the University of North Carolina found that 11% of people with RA experience moderately severe to severe depression. Curiously, only one in five actually discuss depression with their rheumatologists.
How to treat RA-related depression
While it's easy to see how a discussion about your mood can take a backseat to concerns about pain, it's important to address depression, Zautra says. Here are some treatment options your healthcare provider might recommend to ease depression symptoms.
Mindfulness meditation: Studies have found that mindfulness meditation, which involves calming the mind and focusing on a breath, mantra or single word, can help the health and well-being of people with chronic pain. Traditional meditation may also alleviate stress and regulate emotions, which can exacerbate RA pain.
Therapy: Talking to a psychiatrist, psychologist, counselor or social worker can help ease depression. Aim to find a mental health professional trained to work with people dealing with pain.
Exercise: Getting physically active may be the last thing you want to do when you're hurting, but even a little exercise can help. Exercise releases endorphins that interact with the receptors in your brain that reduce the perception of pain. These endorphins also boost your mood. Mind-body exercises like yoga and tai chi may be beneficial because they promote feelings of well-being, Zautra says. Always talk with your healthcare provider before starting any exercise regimen.
Medication: Some people may need to take an antidepressant. Consult with your rheumatologist to see whether medication may help you.
