Each week there are more than 2,200 Church of England christenings across the country, attended by an estimated quarter of a million people.
Research for the Archbishops' Council has shown what makes parents decide to have a christening. 89% said that it was an essential foundation for life, giving their child a good start in life and seeking God's blessing. Being surrounded by family and friends is also really important – and godparents are the some of most important people involved, with 91% of families saying they are influence on the decision to have their child christened.
Respondents to the survey talked about how it was important to have godparents to lead their children down the right path in life. One said: "A godparent is someone who is actively involved in a child's life and is there for them. To us choosing a godparent was someone who would be there for our children, who are responsible, sensible and supportive individuals who would want the best for them."
Canon Dr Sandra Millar, who heads up the work said: "Having a baby baptised at a christening is the start of an amazing journey of faith. Helping children to grow up well is a big task, and knowing that they are surrounded by family, friends, godparents and the local church family to support and pray for them is something many families find special and helpful. Our research showed parents have serious spiritual reasons for wanting a child baptised, and whilst they may not always use church language to express that, the longing for support, blessing and a foundation of faith provide a great place to start a life-long journey of discovery."
Revd Kate Bottley who is part of the baptisms project for the Church of England said: "I talk to mums and dads about why they're bringing babies to be baptised and they're deeply serious about giving their children the best start in life. They're looking for God's blessing, they're looking for protection and they're looking for the best start in the Christian faith."
The survey was carried out for the Church of England with 1000 people who were not regular churchgoers and had a child aged two or younger baptised in the Church of England.

Here are our top ten most frequently asked questions about getting your baby or child christened.
1. What is the difference between a Baptism and a Christening?
There is no difference between a Christening service and a Baptism service. Some churches will use the word 'baptism' and some the word 'christening'. Babies are Baptized during a christening service just as couples are 'married' during a 'wedding' service.
2. Can anyone have a Christening service?
Yes, so long as they have not been Baptized already. The Church of England welcomes all babies, children and families for Christenings - whatever shape that family takes. You do not have to be married to ask for a Christening for your child. You do not have to be an active churchgoer - as parents, you do not even have to have been Christened yourselves. Everyone is welcome at their local church. Just ask your local vicar if this is something you are considering for your baby.
3. What about godparents?
Godparents are some of the most important people at the Christening. Godparents are not the people who will care for your child should anything happen to you. Arrangements for this would normally be made by a Will. Rather, they should be people who will be there for your child and help them think about the bigger questions in life - questions of love, hope and faith.
Every child should have at least three godparents, two of the same sex and at least one of the opposite sex. Parents may be godparents for their own children, providing they have at least one other godparent. Godparents must be baptized themselves and old enough to make some serious promises on behalf of the child.
4. How much does a Christening service cost?
The good news is that a Christening service is free. There may be costs for your family party afterwards, for gifts, or for christening robes, but the church service is free. [Occasionally parents need a certified copy of the entry in the register. In 2014 this will cost £12]
5. Where can we hold the Christening?
You can have your baby Christened at your local parish church and it is usually held as part of the main Sunday service. If you want to have the christening at a different church, for example, where you grew up or where you were married, you will need to talk to the vicar at that church.
6. Can we arrange a Christening at a separate time to the Sunday service?
There may be opportunities to have a service at a different time, again usually on a Sunday, but talk to the vicar and ask their advice about what is possible at your church.
7. How do I arrange a Christening?
Simply contact the vicar of the church where you want to have the Christening and ask for advice.
You can find your local Church of England parish using our website: www.achurchnearyou.com.
8. How old should my child be?
You can have your baby or child Christened at any age. There is no upper age limit, but after about the age of seven your child may be able to make the promises for themselves. Talk to your vicar about baptizing an older child and how this might differ from a baby's Christening service.
9. What happens in the service?
At your baby's Christening, water will be blessed and poured on the baby's head - this is the baptism of your baby (the word 'baptism' means 'to be immersed in water'). The baby will be signed with the cross and a special oil may be used for this. A candle or other gift from the church may be given. Godparents and parents will make promises on behalf of the baby, and prayers will be offered for the baby and the family. There may also be readings and hymns, which you may be able to choose - ask your vicar if you have any special requests.
10. What exactly is Baptism?
Baptism marks the beginning of a journey with God which continues for the rest of our lives. This first step is a response to God's love. It is also a celebration, a time to come together with family and friends; remembering that your child is loved by God, is part of a wider community and has a place with God's people.
Eternal God,
Stir up in us the gifts of your Spirit for the service of your gospel, that we – so blessed by your grace – may discern your call in our lives and respond courageously and obediently, bringing forth the fruits of the Spirit in ministries of rich variety. Take us and use us, to love and serve others in the power of the Holy Spirit and in the name of your Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.
Note: This Prayer may be used within the Intercessions or as a Post-Communion Prayer or at any other suitable point in the service. The Bishops request that it be included in all Confirmation Services through the year as we, as a diocese, reflect on our calling as individual disciples and as the Body of Christ sharing in the mission and ministry of God.

Canada's Profitability and Stagnation Puzzle
Published on The Bullet, Socialist Project's E-Bulletin No. 912, by Michal Rozworski, December 18, 2013.
The Puzzle Defined: Most developed economies continue to experience fall-out from the financial crisis of 2007-08. The Eurozone has been most ravaged, but the U.S. and UK have not fared much better. After the initial rebound from the most severe crisis, growth in many economies has been decelerating to the point that some are once again contracting in real terms. At the same time, unemployment remains high – hitting record levels among youth in Europe for example – real incomes are flat for the vast majority, inequality is on the rise and austerity programs targeted at social services are eating further into living standards.
Canada has partly bucked these trends. While the overall growth rate has not returned to pre-crisis levels, it has not done nearly as poorly as that in Europe or even the USA. Other measures of economic well-being do not suggest the level of alarm felt in harder-hit economies. To give two examples, the Canadian unemployment rate has grown relatively modestly and the distribution of gains since the crisis has not been skewed toward the very top to the extreme that it has been in the U.S. and elsewhere. The financial press is increasingly optimistic – just this past week cheering newly-released above-forecast quarterly growth figures – and the Conservative government remains steadfast in touting our supposed economic prudence and resilience.
Finally, but not least, Canadian corporations also have had it relatively good since the crisis. Other than a sharp dip around 2008, profits have remained high and growing … //
… Pieces of the Puzzle: Some factors behind our high-profit, low-investment climate: … //
… Sources of the Puzzle: Looking beyond the standard account: … //
… Demand: The Keynesian way out of the puzzle: … //
… Destruction: The Marxian way out of the puzzle: … //
… Puzzle Solved: Austerity gives profits a boost:
At this point, however, the Conservative government's answer to the same question of what is needed is neither; instead, the government proposes a third alternative: deleveraging. This is a fancy "d"-word for austerity or, rather, the lowering of public debt, which is the aim of austerity. The austerity agenda is a political tool with strong economic foundations. The profitability puzzle may be no mystery after all; it is an intentional strategy to ensure the private sector gain with no pain, high profitability with low investment.
Austerity is not an isolated Canadian phenomenon nor is it a new one. The neoliberal era that began sometime in the 1970s has seen austerity in one form or another applied worldwide. Economic crises have especially provided governments with excuses to institute or continue austerity policies that would not have been difficult to institute otherwise. While Canada did not experience the latest economic crisis to the same extent as a number of other countries, it has seen a more moderate version of many of the same trends – such as slower growth and lower employment. The crisis was large enough to allow the Harper government to continue and deepen a tentative austerity regime. While Canada has not pursued austerity programs as spectacular as some, for example the UK or Spain, the Conservative government has, nevertheless, succeeded in substantially reducing the size of government, small cut by small cut. While Canadian austerity policies predate the crisis, the crisis has only helped to entrench them and further orient them toward propping up profitability.
For over two decades, Canadian government expenditures have been falling steadily as programs and thousands of public service jobs have been cut across departments … //

Today's issue of WorkCompRecap features Coventry's release of the third portion of its 2017 First Script Drug Trends Report Series, which will continue to present traditional, managed, and unmanaged views, but is now offered in a great new format with more concise pieces that allow for easier examination of trends and recommendations for each section and view.
Part 3 of the series focuses on opioids and compound drugs, which are frequently discussed in workers' comp, and examines their performance in both managed and unmanaged contexts, and their performance in aggregate. Highlights from the report included that opioid utilization continued to trend downward for the managed population, both on a per-claim basis and for the percentage of injured workers utilizing opioids, while cost per claim also declined substantially.

The large-scale exhibition will open on level 3 of the Hamilton Building on September 10, 2017, and will expand to level 4 on December 3, 2017.
Stampede will create an opportunity for visitors to discover and consider the role animals play through themes such as personal connections with animals, how animal materials have been used in art, how animals are used to tell stories or represent political ideas, and how artists use animals in imaginative ways. It will include visitor favorites such as a Nick Cave Soundsuit, four-faced Hamat'sa Mask, Deborah Butterfield's horse sculptures, paintings by Frederic Remington and Georgia O'Keeffe, as well as rarely seen works.
Visitors will be able to try their hand at drawing in the gallery and spend time closely looking at smaller objects in a "cabinet of curiosities." Stampede also will feature an interactive space where visitors can learn about the creative process behind the Never Alone video game created by Native North Alaskan storytellers. In conjunction with Stampede, the studio space on level one of the Hamilton Building will become the 3-D Studio, with hands-on artmaking activities related to animals.
Stampede: Animals in Art is organized by the Denver Art Museum. The exhibition curation has been led by John Lukavic, associate curator of Native Arts, and Florence Müller, Avenir Foundation Curator of Textile Art and curator of fashion at the DAM.
Opens: 10 AM
Fee: General Admission

But this schmuck is usually looking down on the highway from an altitude of a thousand feet. Joel was wearing a black T-shirt tucked into black jeans, black Vans, and an Indian Motorcycle ball cap. "He's early." A helicopter zipped in over the oystermen and landed down by the water, at the hem of a great sloping lawn, where Joel had converted the property's tennis court to a helipad.The back of his head, where hair might be, was freshly shorn, and his features, which in dark or obscure moods can appear mottled and knotted, were at rest, projecting benevolent bemusement. He'd recently had to resurface it, after Hurricane Sandy.According to the footage from one of officer's body cams, the four-year-old girl told police: 'I want my daddy; he's going to jail.' The officer replied: 'Come with me, I'm going to take care of you OK? ' A woman in the passenger seat of the car was not charged with any offence.Police bought the four-year-old girl food and called her mother to pic her up.He ran off, and officers discovered the two young girls in his car.
"You know, if you type 'Billy Joel's house' into Google maps, you get Madison Square Garden," Joel said. And then Joel was doing "Just the Way You Are." He'd written it for his first wife and manager, Elizabeth. To close out the set, he sprayed his throat, donned a harmonica rig, and launched into "Piano Man" without betraying any exasperation, only wonder, as thousands of people, many of them about half the song's age, sang along.Whenever anyone asks him about his pre-show routine, he says, "I walk from the dressing room to the stage.That's my routine." Joel has a knack for delivering his own recycled quips and explanations as though they were fresh, a talent related, one would think, to that of singing well-worn hits with sincere-seeming gusto.She moved in with him, and he persuaded her to quit her job on Wall Street. "This is the beginning of the psych-up for the show," Joel said. ""There won't be a dry eye in the house," the saxophonist Mark Rivera said. (He'd wanted to leave it off the album, too, but Linda Ronstadt and Phoebe Snow, dropping by the studio one day, told him he was nuts.) He usually won these arguments. A few hours later, the arena was full, and he was back onstage with the band, delivering the familiar hits in full voice. The cynicism surfaced only between numbers, such as when, after playing "The Entertainer," he repeated, in a quizzical tone, the line "I won't be here in another year / If I don't stay on the charts" and then exclaimed, "Bullshit!Joel, who refers to his former wives as Ex 1, Ex 2, and Ex 3, says that he is in no hurry to be married again. "You see this and you tell yourself, 'I gotta do a good one.' "Since the beginning of the year, Joel had been playing the Garden once a month. All twelve had sold out well in advance, and the secondary market was tight. Steve Cohen, who has been Joel's lighting designer since 1974 and his creative director since the mid-eighties, handed Joel his suggested set list. At other sound checks, I'd seen him scrap such mainstays as "Angry Young Man" (the tempo was lagging, and the sentiment felt false) and "Captain Jack." ("Dreary, dreary, dreary," he said. " A roar greeted the opening notes of "Just the Way You Are," and up in Section 106 I could see some women of a certain age singing along and dabbing their eyes.
The bouncing had hardly ceased by the time Joel's S. Ruggles and Cohen got aboard with Joel and Roderick. "I rented a house there for a while, after I sold the house in East Hampton." The helicopter cut south along the eastern shore of Centre Island. As the passengers disembarked, Roderick quietly urged Ruggles, who was going through a divorce and living for the time being in one of Joel's guesthouses, to take the popcorn. He'd given up cigarettes—he'd gone to see a hypnotist in Boston.

By Andy Chinn
I thought I was late for the general meeting, but when I walked inside it was still going on so I sat down. Several hours passed with only a lunch break to separate the time. Each department of the band (tribe) got up and shared about what they were doing. The people who attended got to ask questions. The room at times would get heated, especially around issues like housing and mental health services. One lady shared through tears, "We need to stop spending all of our time doing paper work. People are hurting and then come and talk to me, but I can't help them because I am hurting. We need people to come into our homes and listen."
As the meeting came to an end, a friend of mine who is the band health director tapped me on the shoulder and said that she would try and get the microphone to introduce me. The idea made me feel uncomfortable, but she was determined. The last person was giving closing remarks when she grabbed the microphone.
"Ten months ago Jesi and Andy Chinn moved into our community to be missionaries." she said. My heart sank a bit because that term often has a negative connotation in First Nation communities. "They are here to lift us up spiritually and desire to be someone you can talk to if you are hurting."
When she finished she handed the microphone to me. "Thank you everyone for the hospitality and love you've shown us since moving here. I have served as a pastor and have done youth work for the last seven years and would like to offer myself and my wife to serve however we can." I finished by saying a few more things to show respect and to honor the community. When I gave the microphone back the M.C. asked if I would close their meeting in prayer. I gladly accepted the offer.
Afterward, the chief approached me and told me that Jesi and I have her full support and that the band would be willing to back our ministry financially. I asked if Jesi and I could meet with her and talk further. She asked, "Are you free tomorrow morning?"
Our meeting with the chief was a rich blessing. She shared her life story and how Jesus has walked her through it. She has tasted both tragedy and transformation. It was amazing to hear her say, "Yes, I am chief but God is the true Chief; I am His helper." She told us how just a couple years back one couldn't talk about God at the general meetings and how it would not have been good for me to attend. But that has changed. God is doing something in this community. She asked us to write a budget proposal for youth programs and offered us the band hall for our Bible studies and youth activities.
It was an unexpected but rich blessing. It confirmed what we believed when we felt God call us here, Him saying, "I am about to do something in this community, and you can be a part of it if you want." †

A 25-year-old San Pedro woman was killed when two cars hit her in Gardena and drove away, authorities said Monday.
Another man also was struck.
Heather Marie Estrada died about 11:50 p.m. Thursday, about four hours after a Toyota Camry traveling east on 135th Street struck her as she crossed north. A Nissan Altima then ran over Estrada when she landed in the westbound lanes.
A male pedestrian who went to help her was then struck by a Lincoln Towncar in the westbound lanes.
The Camry's driver sped away. The Altima's driver continued home to Hawthorne, but later returned to the scene, police said.
Both pedestrians were taken to County Harbor-UCLA Medical Center, where Estrada died. The unidentified man is recovering from non-life-threatening injuries, police said.
Police asked anyone who witnessed what happened to call traffic Investigator Matthew Hassoldt at 310-217-6189 or traffic Sgt. Mark Thompson at 310-217-6183.
Estrada's mother established a GoFundMe.com account to help raise funds for funeral expenses. Donations can be made to www.gofundme.com/help-jennifer-lay-heather-to-rest.

One of the benefits of living in the northern Catskill Mountains is the natural beauty of the setting and the opportunity to withdraw from life occasionally in order to reflect. And that is exactly what I have been doing for these past few months.
This view from our porch has been just too inviting to resist. On most summer evenings, Jane and I have been able to spend our time watching a mother deer and her twin fawns drift into our yard just before dusk and graze peacefully on the tall grass under our border trees. Even our dog, Iona, has been pretty mellow in terms of communing with nature — and, in particular, with the two fawns. The danger of Iona chasing the deer seems to have faded over time, and, as long as the fawns do not try to run past her disguised as yellow tennis balls, I am pretty sure that this respectful truce will continue.
I wish that I could say that my break from blog writing was really just a common sense respite from activity. That I was just a little like Iona resting with her chin on her paws in harmony with her world. I am pretty sure that that was what it was for perhaps the first two or three weeks of the hiatus. However, when I attempted to take up my blog writing again in August, I found that I just lacked enthusiasm for the task. Upon reflection, I realized that my issue really centered on the fact that I saw the blog more as a "task" than as a pleasant excursion into thought. What had begun as a fun activity for me had somehow morphed into a burden that I did not want or need.
In an attempt to motivate myself, I re-read the posts that I have made since I started the blog. What I found was that there was very little that I would change or revise. I truly believe in what I have written. At the same time, I did recognize a need to revise the way I was thinking. That is what my summer weeks of reflection were telling me.
I still feel a desire to write about things that matter to me, but I know that I must do that with two particular thoughts in mind. First, I intend to publish on my own schedule in the context of what is convenient for me. I will work the writing around other activities that are also important to me (like taking long walks with Iona or playing with my grandchildren). I have worked all my life to be free of deadlines, and it just makes no sense to engage in activities that create them. Second, whether I am publishing poems or essays or comments about educational issues, I intend to make a positive contribution. I am going to write for something and not against something. This is particularly true when it comes to my posts about education. I am tired of the negativity that surrounds educational issues, and I simply refuse to have that negativity rob me of my motivation to write. I have certain values and beliefs about learning that have guided my life and my career. That is what I am going to write about. That is my passion.
And so I begin — again.

|Directing Actor Oliver Park
Where to begin...
OK, let's take it from the top. The Soldier is a script I originally wrote for the Virgin Media Shorts competition (2013). I'd entered my previous short film 30 Seconds 2 Late in 2012 but had zero intention of entering this year. That is until around 4 weeks before competition deadline. I suddenly had this idea about a lone British soldier who makes a last stand against enemy forces. I knew I could make it work, shit, even make the tight deadline if I just kept things super simple. One location. 2 actors, max.

Enjoy and drink up!
Mothers Day Celebration-
The last party I had was less of a party and more of a celebration. The celebration of my mom for Mothers Day! I forgot to take photos of some of the things I did but here were some of the images I found to re-create the day:
This was the actual card I gave my mom and my mother in law from a free printable's site I found and they loved it! The site has a lot of awesome prints for all occasions!
I wanted to do something different for dessert on Mother's Day so I did an ice cream bar. People could choose cone or bowl and then whatever toppings they wanted. For toppings I had: fruit, nuts, many types of sprinkles and chocolate chips!-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DIY Projects & Design...
I LOVE accessories and this post is all about how the little things you already have laying around or buy at a low cost can have a BIG impact!
My fireplace before & after: just a little somethin somethin to make it pop!
Total cost was under $30.00 for everything. I already had the blanket, the pillows were $5 and the lantern $15. This isn't the ideal color of blanket I would like to have but it will do for now! I would love to have a dirty mustard yellow blanket for more of a contrast and pop of color.

Early History: From Russell's Discovery to KdV
This story began in 1834 when a 26-year-old Scottish engineer named John Scott Russell noticed a strangely behaving water wave while conducting an experiment to determine the most efficient design for canal boats. Let him tell us about this first encounter:
"I was observing the motion of a boat which was rapidly drawn along a narrow channel by a pair of horses, when the boat suddenly stopped – not so the mass of water in the channel which it had put in motion; it accumulated round the prow of the vessel in a state of violent agitation, then suddenly leaving it behind, rolled forward with great velocity, assuming the form of a large solitary elevation, a rounded, smooth and well-defined heap of water, which continued its course along the channel apparently without change of form or diminution of speed. I followed it on horseback, and overtook it still rolling on at a rate of some eight or nine miles an hour [14 km/h], preserving its original figure some thirty feet long [9 m] and a foot to a foot and a half [30-45 cm] in height. Its height gradually diminished, and after a chase of one or two miles [2-3 km] I lost it in the windings of the channel. Such, in the month of August 1834, was my first chance interview with that singular and beautiful phenomenon which I have called the Wave of Translation…" — J.S. Russell, Report on waves [1].
After his discovery, Russell studied these stable solitary waves in a more controlled environment by building a 9-meter long wave tank in his back garden and he made further important observations. One of his findings was that the higher the solitary wave is the faster it moves. Although Russell was convinced that his discovery is of great importance, not all of his contemporaries were on his side. For example, Airy was highly sceptical of solitary waves, because it seemed to contradict his shallow water theory, in which a finite amplitude wave cannot propagate without changing its profile. This tension was resolved by Boussinesq and Rayleigh, who showed (independently) that the nonlinear effect, which causes the change of shape in a travelling wave, can be balanced by dispersion thus solitary waves can form.
This is best captured by a nonlinear partial differential equation, which was (re)discovered by the Dutch mathematician Korteweg and his student de Vries in 1895 [2]. The Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equation reads
where is the unknown function in two variables, space () and time ().
Let us look for solutions which move from left to right with constant velocity and have a localized shape, i.e. we search for solutions satisfying
Plugging (2) into (1) gives us
which integrated with respect to leads to
Multiplying this by and integrating once more, turns it into
where and are constants of integration. The conditions of vanishing derivatives in (2) imply that leaving us with
Solving by separation of variables yields the solution
where . This is called a soliton and behaves as Russell's wave of translation.
There are also 2-soliton solutions of (1), in which two solitary waves seem to be unaware of each other for large . In the middle (around ), they overlap and interact nonlinearly. Shortly after the interaction, they reappear with no apparent change in size or shape. Nevertheless, there is some mark of the interaction left on them, namely phase shifts.
Despite these early results, solitary waves fell into scientific obscurity for almost 70 years.
Digression: The Fermi-Pasta-Ulam Problem
When von Neumann's computer, named MANIAC-I, was completed in Los Alamos in 1951, Enrico Fermi, John Pasta and Stanisław Ulam promptly started to use it for numerical experiments on nonlinear physics and mathematics. As a test, Fermi suggested to study something to which he thought the answer was obvious: A fixed-end chain of 64 masses connected by springs exerting a nonlinear force between neighbouring weights. The force was taken to be not linear, but a quadratic or cubic function of the displacement. They started with a periodic vibration, a single sine wave, which, in case of a linear force, would oscillate in that mode indefinitely.
They expected that a nonlinear force, perturbing the periodic linear solution, will cause the oscillations to be of an ever-increasing complexity, i.e. get into states, where more and more Fourier modes are present. Physicists would say, that they expected the system to "thermalize". They programmed the computer* and let it calculate. At first, they got the expected result and went out for lunch, but they had forgotten to turn the machine off! When they returned to the lab, they saw something incredible:
"…we indeed observe initially a gradual increase of energy in the higher modes as predicted. Mode 2 starts increasing first, followed by mode 3, and so on. Later on, however, this gradual sharing of energy among successive modes ceases. Instead, it is one or the other mode that predominates. For example, mode 2 decides, as it were, to increase rather rapidly at the cost of all other modes and becomes predominant. At one time, it has more energy than all others put together! The mode 3 undertakes this role. It is only the first few modes which exchange energy among themselves and they do this in a rather regular fashion. Finally, at a later time mode 1 comes back to within one percent of its initial value so that the system seems to be almost periodic."
*It was Mary Tsingou, who has programmed the dynamics, ensured its accuracy and provided the graphs of the results.
For more on the FPU problem, see [3,4].
Revival: KdV as an Integrable Hamiltonian System
To make sense of the results of the FPU experiment Zabusky and Kruskal [5] considered the continuous version of it by shrinking the masses and springs to infinitesimal size, hence producing a line of deformable material. The corresponding partial differential equation can be transformed into the KdV equation. (For details, click here!) Thus Zabusky and Kruskal [5] started to study numerical solutions of the KdV-type equation
with and the periodic initial condition . At start, we have , so the dispersive term can be neglected, leaving us with the equation
Its solution can be given implicitly by
Such a tends to develop a discontinuity at at critical time . Yet, this is not what happens, since the term neglected at the beginning becomes significant, small wavelength oscillations form and the shock is eluded. Around these waves reach their final size and start to move as a train of solitons.
An amazing thing happens around . The spatially periodic solution of (8) through nonlinear interaction at arrive almost in the same phase and almost reconstruct the initial cosine curve. Hence is referred to as recurrence time. If this is the case in general, it explains the result of FPU.
Shortly after these initial results, Gardner et al. [6] gave a method of solving the KdV equation and formulated the following
Conjecture. Let be any solution of (1) which is defined for all and and which vanishes at . The there exist a discrete set of positive numbers — called the eigenspeeds of — and sets of phase shifts such that
It was proven by Lax [7] that for any pair of speeds there is a corresponding solution of KdV, which satisfies (11). The Conjecture was proven in many context and by many authors, including Ablowitz and Newell, Manakov, and Sabat.
Gardner, Kruskal and Miura [6] also made a remarkable discovery. The eigenvalues of the Schrödinger operator
are invariant in time if is a solution of the KdV equation (1). This means that there are infinitely many conserved quantities, i.e. functions of and its derivatives, which are constant along solutions . For example,
Indeed, Kruskal, Gardner and Miura constructed explicitly an infinite sequence of conserved quantities: . In 1968, Lax showed that the KdV equation is equivalent to an equation of operators (now called Lax equation) of the form
where is the Schrödinger operator (12) and is the skew-symmetric operator
(If two operators satisfy (14), they are called a Lax pair.) For this, solve the operator differential equation
and due to (14) and (16) we have
Therefore , i.e. and are similar, thus have the same eigenvalues. is isospectral.
In 1971, Zakharov and Faddeev [8] showed that the KdV equation is a completely integrable Hamiltonian system with infinitely many degrees of freedom. Indeed, it can be written in the Hamiltonian form
where (13) and denotes the Fréchet derivative of the function :
The symplectic form is given by
and the Poisson bracket of two functions is defined by
It can be shown that for any two first integrals and one has
thus if both indices are odd or both of them are even, iterating this identity leads to
for some . If and has different parity, then we get
which by antisymmetry implies again that
Thus the conserved quantities are in involution, meaning that the KdV equation is completely integrable.
Closure: Other Soliton Equations and Applications
The ideas and results presented so far were all about the KdV equation. However, there are lots of other physically relevant nonlinear PDE's, which have soliton solutions. Here we briefly describe two of them, namely the sine-Gordon and the nonlinear Schrödinger equation. We also mention several applications.
The sine-Gordon equation is a nonlinear PDE in dimensions, It has the form
(Its name is a pun due to Kruskal and refers to the low-amplitude () approximation, which is called the Klein-Gordon equation.) It can be interpreted as the equation describing the twisting of a continuous chain of needles attached to a flexible string. 1-soliton solutions are given by
where is arbitrary real, is real satisfying , and
Depending on the sign, we call (28) a kink () or an antikink ().
Similarly to KdV, 2-soliton solutions are as if 1-solitons would interact, namely we have (anti)kink-(anti)kink and kink-antikink collisions. But there is another type of 2-soliton solution, called breather, which looks like a coupled kink-antikink pair.
The sine-Gordon equation is relativistic, meaning that it is invariant under the Poincaré transformations of the -dimensional space-time. For details, see [9].
The nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS) equation reads
where is a complex-valued wave function and is constant. The equation is non-relativistic (Galilei invariant). This is also an exactly solvable Hamiltonian system [10]. Its Hamiltonian is given by
Now let us list some applications of these soliton equations. The Korteweg-de Vries equation can be applied to describe shallow-water waves with weakly non-linear restoring forces and long internal waves in a density-stratified ocean. It is also useful in modelling ion acoustic waves in a plasma and acoustic waves on a crystal lattice.
The sine-Gordon solitons, kinks and breathers used as models of nonlinear excitations in complex systems in physics and even in cellular structures.
The nonlinear Schrödinger equation appears in the Manakov system, a model of wave propagation in fiber optics. The function represents a wave and NLS describes the propagation of the wave through a nonlinear medium. The second-order derivative represents the dispersion, while nonlinearity is in the term. The equation models many nonlinearity effects in a fiber, including but not limited to self-phase modulation, four-wave mixing, second harmonic generation, stimulated Raman scattering, etc.

Our Year Two program at The U is one of our most valuable resources your team can take advantage of to help take your practice to the next level. Your team may have already completed their respective 101 and 102 courses, and might be thinking, "what's next?" While Year Two is slightly different in terms of structure, there's just as much fun and value to be had in this next part of your journey with The U.
The first step in taking advantage of our Year Two program is registering your staff for their 201 courses — there are 201 courses for Hygiene U, Assistant U, Front Desk U, and Team Leader U. Just like the 101 and 102 courses, these upper level 201 courses will continue to focus on what other offices are successfully implementing. Through high-level networking and idea sharing, your team will easily return home with dozens of new tools and strategies to implement in your practice.
In contrast to the 100-level courses at The U, 201 and 202 courses move into higher levels of learning and much more advanced strategies. With the basics of The U already covered in 101 and 102, these 200-level courses will not only reinforce the previously taught lessons, but will build upon them to continue to challenge your staff to be the best they can be. After all, that is a fundamental force of the Scheduling Institute and The U — we know that your staff is capable of doing and achieving more than you know. And at The U, we know how to teach, engage, and enhance their learning so they are continually becoming the best Hygienists, Assistants, Front Desk Personnel, and Leaders in the world.
At the 200-level, we also introduce our famous Ritz-Carlton Customer Service course, presented directly by Ritz-Carlton Customer Service experts at The U.

Travel workout tips
JoeEnglish - 5:21 pm
Let's face it, when you travel your workouts often suffer. Travel screws with your daily routine, impacting things like your schedule, access to your favorite running routes or the gym equipment that you have at home. Having just come back from a quick trip to Asia, I have five more tips fresh in my mind that will help keep your workouts on track and make the whole experience better for you.Tip 1 — Develop a backup exercise routine that you can do literally anywhere — Whether you find yourself in an airport, on an island with no gym or just holed up in a hotel room, sometimes you will have no access to any equipment, the outdoors or a safe place to get out for a run. In these cases, I always have a set of exercises that I can do without any equipment to get myself active anywhere. Here's an example of full-body workout that you can do anywhere. Do three-to-four sets of the following exercises doing as many as you think is wise for your fitness. You may want to start at 10 each:
– Push-ups
– Sit-ups
– Burpees — this is a combination exercise that includes a squat, push-up, thrust and jump. Certain to raise your heart-rate immediately.
– Squats
– Side-lunges
You'll be surprised how much of a workout you can get doing simple exercises like this, especially when varying the number and the pacing. You can also add weight by grabbing something in your possession when doing some of these; I have used my back-pack for instance when doing squats or side-lunges. Heck put your laptop or a heavy book on your chest to add weight to your sit-ups.
Some other good exercises that you could do here include box jumps (to a bench or even onto a hotel bed if you're careful about not falling over backward) and pull-ups if you can find a bar of some kind. (NOTE from Joe: shower-curtain rods do not generally support body weight.)
Tip 2 — Be flexible and creative with your workouts — Perhaps the most important tip is not to get hung-up on getting in some specific workout when traveling. I recall being on a small island in Thailand once where the longest road was 1/4 mile in length and featured. . .tigers. I was supposed to do a long run that weekend, but it just wasn't going to happen. I ended up swimming in the ocean instead. But this sticks out as me as one of those learning moments when I just needed to stay flexible, creative and understanding of my situation while I was traveling.
Tip 3 — Stay hydrated and keep on top of your nutrition — The foundation to being able to work out on the road at all is to make sure that you pay proper attention to your hydration and nutrition. Airplane travel can leave you very dehydrated to start with, so drink plenty of fluid when flying. Eat healthy foods, trying to stay close to your normal diet if possible. Keep in mind that working on your hydration and nutrition will also help in combating jet lag. Thankfully, exercise will also help reduce jet lag.
Tip 4 — Wash your clothes — File this one under making the experience better for yourself. Workout clothes get mighty stinky when left to dry on the shower-rod after a workout, especially if you are in a humid or tropical environment where they may not dry at all. It hadn't occurred to me until recently that carrying a small bottle of laundry detergent and doing a quick rinse and wash of my shorts and shirt after a workout really, really, help with the stink. There are also some stink-free fabrics now designed for this very problem, but I've found a quick rinse even without detergent goes a long way toward this problem.

Iraq militants assault final area of Dhuluiyah
BAGHDAD - Militants on Monday assaulted the final area of the Iraqi town of Dhuluiyah still outside their control, after tribesmen rejected an offer to let them enter uncontested, an official said.
Jihadist-led militants launched a major offensive on June 9 that has overrun large areas north and west of Baghdad, and appear to be making a renewed push to gain ground after a period in which battle lines were relatively static.
The militants began their attack on Dhuluiyah, just 80 kilometres (50 miles) north of Baghdad, on Sunday and have overrun most of the town, local official Marwan Mitaab said.
The militants negotiated with tribesmen in Al-Jubur, a lone area of the town still holding out, offering to spare the lives of their fighters and security forces if they surrendered, Mitaab said.
But the tribesmen rejected the offer, and insurgents on Monday launched a renewed assault on the area in southern Dhuluiyah.
A resident also said the fighting was ongoing and that Al-Jubur was the last area that has yet to fall.
A senior police officer confirmed there had been negotiations with the militants, and added that people were fleeing across the Tigris river in boats.
The militants demolished a bridge across the river on Sunday, and also blew up police stations, a courthouse and the main municipality building.

Frontline Scotland: Cloning and Parkinson's Disease
Director: BBC
Year: 1999
Country: UK
Duration: 30 mins
Rating: N/A
More information (external website)
Filed under: Human Cloning, Documentary
The programme examines controversial developments in medical science involving the potential use of human embryos. At the Roslin Institute the scientists who cloned Dolly the sheep believe that cloning could be used to repair the brain damage that occurs in Parkinson's disease. Human embryos could be cloned and at an early stage in their development the stem cells would be taken to grow brain cells for implantation in patients' brains. Research in this field is also going on at the Medical Research Council's Cambridge Centre for Brain Repair, where Dr. Clive Svendon's work with rats indicates the possibility of repairing Parkinsonian brain damage in humans by the use of stem cells from embryos. At Edinburgh University Dr. Austin Smith grew nerve cells from mice stem cells; he looks forward to using tissue from cloned, vestigial human embryos for use in heart transplants. Gerry McCann who suffers from Parkinson's disease is dependent on medication to enable him to move. He visits these research centres but remains opposed to the manufacture of human embryos for the use of their tissue. (Aired April 1999)

Rumors are swirling that the Celtics will go after either Blake Griffin (shown above committing a misdemeanor felony) or Gordon Hayward in free agency this off season. Here's hoping it's the latter. Blake Griffin, when he can get on the court, is a slow plodding forward whose numbers have gone down every year in the last five seasons – other than assists, which most likely went up because he finally realized he's not the one who should be shooting, especially late. His free throw percentage also went up, which can be explained as well; when you're out with injuries all the time, (injuries caused by you punching the Clippers' trainer in the face in the middle of a packed restaurant for example, or punching said guy again when he goes outside to toss his teeth into the sewer), there's only a few things you can work on, free throws being one of them.
Late in games Blake's game gets even less desirable. He forces up shots when he's surrounded by defenders and should be calling for time out, his jump hook resembles a man trying to throw boulders into a dump truck, close to the rim he has the touch of a tin knocker, and he seems to shrink in big moments. Watch his nervous play vs. the Spurs in the 2012 series and you'll see a player who looks like he should have downed a couple of boxes of Paxil before he hit the court.
Gordon Hayward is not going to get the Celtics to a point where they are instantly better than the Cavaliers, but he's a good fit with the way they play and a lot less painful to watch than Blake Griffin. I think the Celtics trainer would agree.

Mushroom and Thigh Fricassee
|Nutrition per serving
|15 minutes prep
|1 hour active
|19g fat
|Makes 3 servings
|26g protein
|3-4 boneless skinless chicken thighs
|1. In a large skillet over medium heat, pour one half of the olive oil. Once shimmering, add carrots, celery, and onions. Cool until soft and just beginning to brown.
|1/2 cup each diced celery, carrots, and yellow onion
|2. Add mushrooms and reduce heat to medium low. While cooking, rinse and thoroughly dey chicken. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, set aside.
|1 cup sliced white mushrooms
|3. Once mushrooms are softened and brown, remove all vegetables from pan. Return pan to high heat and add remaining oil until shimmering.
|2 cups vegetable stock
|4. Add thighs and cook each side for 5 minutes. Return vegetables to pan and sprinkle flour over contents. Stir thoroughly and allow to cook for approximately 3 minutes.
|1/2 cup white wine (something dry works best)
|5. Add wine to pan, scraping along bottom. Add vegetable stock and bring pot to a boil.
|2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
|7. Add additional water if sauce looks too thick.
|3 tablespoons all purpose flour
|8. Reduce to low, cover, and allow to simmer for 45 minutes.
|1/2 teaspoon each dried mustard, paprika, and cayenne pepper combined with flour
|9. Serve immediately or refrigerate overnight, reheating on the stove top to reserve.
|1 sprig Rosemary
|Salt and pepper to taste
Serving Suggestions
- Pairs well with simply steamed vegetables, such as green beans, peas, or broccoli
- Because this is a rather rich dish, more complex starches should be avoided - simple rice dishes are encouraged, or roasted potatoes
- Would pair nicely over a bed of egg noodles
- There are many ways to change the way this dish is prepared - mushrooms may be swapped around, stewing vegetables may be alternated, and the base Mirepoix can be substituted for an Italian Soffritto, German Suppengrün, or Cajun Trinity
- While boneless skinless breasts make a lower calorie serving, bone-in thighs are juicer, and skin-on thighs have that irreplaceable crunch

As a motion control running shoe, this new balance 420 kaufen has even been rated as a high value compared to other shoes websites on account of its generous toe box for accommodating orthopedic inserts perfectly, which is a MUST for diabetic sufferers who require a large size and comfortable shoe.
The new balance weiß damen, the shoe rocks, is prettier and ventilated! I have been wearing the 880 series a couple years, before that I could never walk or run without some kinds of problem arising. Since I started wearing those I have had no trouble and can walk for miles upon miles. As an update, they added a higher padding back of the shoe to the 882s — 883s and replaced the lacing of the 882s with new SURE LACE, as well as they added more padding at the ball and toes of the shoe.
The new balance 996 herren uses a rocker sole design to activate more muscle groups in the lower body, by simulating walking barefoot in soft sand and bringing the benefits to the walking gait which that provides. Located in the heel is an innovative EVA compound called Acteva Ultra LITE, which gives superior shock absorption. As the heel strike force is reduced, the shoes trigger a smooth rolling motion from heel to toe, bringing a wider range of muscle groups into play and activating the muscles for longer. The design promotes a faster walking speed, and coupled with the muscle activation, increases calorie burning by 8%.
They are extremely comfortable, fit perfectly, classic, cool look, and color choices were terrific and they look great in the gym and also with jeans. If your feet are too tired to stand for 8 hours a day, you will really love these shoes. There is a great support in the sole as well as the toe bed. They are very breathable so your toes will get cold at night, especially on winter nights on the big city's streets but if your feet sweat a lot it will be a good thing.

Genre: MF Romance, Explicit
Title: Midway Between You and Me
Author: Rogenna Brewer
Release Date: 1 July 2002
Professor Tam Nguyen knows that most women dream of a handsome, broad-shouldered military man. But she can never forget that the man who abandoned her pregnant mother in the middle of a war zone wore a uniform.
Of course, that's before she meets Lieutenant Bowie Prince and gets to know the man behind the uniform. Once he sets out to change her mind, she finds him hard to resist. Until she discovers he holds the key to her father's identity .
What I Liked:
I like to think of this book as "Miss Saigon — the happy version." The backstory of Tam's parents starts off as pretty similar to Miss Saigon. SA young Vietnamese girl and an American soldier fall in love. He leaves her with a picture of his company, a letter saying they're married, and an unborn baby. But, in this story, he gets captured in Vietnam, eventually gets free, and is not able to find her. Meanwhile, she has the baby, they struggle in Vietnam but eventually make it to America. She is a fashion designer who lives in San Francisco, and though many years have past, she still loves him, even though she has no idea what happened to him.
Which brings us to the actual plot of the book, revolving around their daughter, Tam. She works for the US Fish and Wildlife services and is stationed on Midway Island. She has a meet cute with Bowie when his team of Seabees land on midway to refuel their plane. They meet again at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii a few days later, and then again when Bowie an his team are stationed on Midway.
I really liked both Tam and Bowie. They had a sort of opposites attract vibe about them. Tam is very attracted to Bowie, but doesn't want to get involved because her mom's story has left her with an aversion to military men. That was a bit cliché, but still understandable. Especially as her childhood in Vietnam is revealed throughout the book.
I loved that there were two love stories in the book, instead of one. The main focus is on Tam and Bowie, but the reader is given glimpses into 1972 at Tam's parents and their relationship. Also, once Tam discovers that Bowie's dad was in the same company as her father, the second love story starts to really come together.
What I Didn't:
Right away, I will warn that the book starts with a sex scene. It is set in 1972 and features Tam's parents. It's a bit of a jolt to begin a book with, especially since it it mentioned that the girl, Lan, would be considered "jailbait" if they were in the US. So, yeah. Definitely a warning for the opening underage scene.
The ending gets to be a bit too much for me. It's action packed, but some of the things that happen towards the end are a bit…convenient. And ridiculous. Kidnapping, shooting, coma, pregnancy. It's a bit too much, but at least there's a satisfying double happily ever after.
I'm not going to lie, this is probably my favorite romance novel of all time. It's cheesy and predictable, but I can still remember reading it for the first time. I bought it at a library book sale for 25¢ when I was about 16 years old and sped through it all on a sick day home from school. The author does a good job with the military details, probably because she was in the military herself. The romance is sweet, even if it's does get a little cheesy and the action is tense, though it does get a bit over-the-top. This is not one of the best romance novel that I've ever read, but there's just something unique about that definitely makes it one of my favorite.
My Rating: 5/5
