Abbie Roads just keeps getting better. I really enjoyed her first two novels so I was excited to see the latest as the first in a series. "Saving Mercy" focuses on the aftermath of a horrible trauma and a man who was programmed from childhood to follow in his father's footsteps. Ms. Roads explores the psychological aspects of what would happen if a woman fell in love with the son of the man who tried to kill her. Ms. Roads writes with a depth of emotion and character development that is fascinating to read. She keeps her readers riveted with the suspense and you never know what twist the story is going to take next.
Cain Killion has a gift or curse depending on how you look at it. He's able to connect to a case through the use of a rare psychic bond. He spends his days trying to redeem his past by solving murders and bring justice to those that need it. Yet, he never feels worthy of a future. When a case opens up old wounds and seems to connect to a woman from his past he knows he's going to have to tear open the wounds on his heart and search out Mercy Ledger. Mercy is brave, beautiful, and stubborn. She's a fighter because she's had to fight to survive and now she's faced with her worst nightmare. Evil has drawn Cain and Mercy together again but only love can overcome the odds and save them both.
He's found her at last
Cain Killion knows himself to be a damaged man, his only saving grace the extrasensory connection to blood that he uses to catch murderers. His latest case takes a macabre turn when he discovers a familiar and haunting symbol linking the crime to his own horrific past-and only one woman could know what it means.
Only to lose her to a nightmare
Mercy Ledger is brave, resilient, beautiful-and in terrible danger. The moment he sees Mercy, Cain knows he's the one who can save her. He also knows he's beyond redemption. But the lines between good and evil blur and the only thing clear to Cain and Mercy is that they belong together. Love is the antidote for blood-but is their bond strong enough to overcome the evil that stalks them?

How Can I Support Litdrive?
What Members Say
Amongst everything else in education, it is often forgotten that the teacher is the most important variable in terms of pupil attainment. I can think of nothing else in my career that has been able to support teaching and the teacher in the way that Litdrive has.
I've greatly benefited from litdrive a it has allowed me as an NQT to learn from others, and try activities and approaches that are less commonly advocated for or utilized in my current school.
Litdrive is invaluable to English teachers across the UK. Personally, I am inspired by some of the great ideas that people are sharing and this helps me to re-ignite my enthusiasm for creating innovative teaching resources.

What is it? Liturgy of the Word for Children is offered during Mass to allow for children to proclaim, hear, and apply the Holy Scripture in a manner that is suitable and appropriate to the understanding of young children. Children will actively participate through adapted Scripture texts, prayer, signs, symbols, activities, music, etc.
What it is not. Liturgy of the Word for Children in not childcare. It is also not formal religious education and is not intended to subsitute for attendance at religious education sessions. Rather, it should be considered a supplememnt to your child's continuing religious education program.
When is it? At the conclusion of the Penitential Rite before the first Reading, the presiding priest will call the children forth to be sent with their leaders to celebrate in room 5. The children return to their families during the Offertory.
What ages? The ministry is for children ages 5-11 years who are able to be engaged listeners and participants.
How can parents and loved ones assist? Becoming a children's liturgy leader or assistant. Prepatation time is minumual - all you need is love of children and the liturgy
Encourage your children to participate and accompany your children until they are comfortable.

Jessica Maples '01
When Jessica Maples '01 came to Radford University she had one goal in mind, to become an interior designer.
"My father is a contractor and my mother is really creative. They shaped who I am today, which is someone who cares about design," says Maples.
She knew instantly that Radford was the fit for her, not only for the competitive and top notch interior design program, but because it also had a field hockey team.
"I played field hockey all four years. It is where I hold most of my fond memories. I always loved coming to campus during preseason, because it felt like we had the whole place to ourselves," says Maples.
She spent a lot of time with her teammates and her classmates. As an interior design major, you are required to log many hours in the lab in order to complete your projects.
"McGuffey Hall was definitely a second home to me, but so were the girls that I would be up late with at night, laughing hysterically because we were so delirious," says Maples.
Once Maples graduated, she knew that she wanted to work in an architecture firm.
"One of our professors, Holly Cline took us on many trips to architecture firms to teach us about the industry. Touring the firms gave us all an inside look at the profession and it reassured me on what type of firm I wanted to work for," says Maples.
Today, Maples works as a senior associate for Hickok Cole Architects. "I have been here for 11 years," says Maples. "I have been fortunate to work on various projects and now hold a senior leadership position in the interiors studio."
Maples has a passion for workplace design. She said it's rewarding when you help a client design their offices based on their organizations goals and needs.
"We really have the opportunity to get a look inside all kinds of organizations. One of my most recent projects was with the National Public Radio (NPR) building in Washington, DC," says Maples.
Other projects include working with Blackboard, a technology firm that helps serve the needs of students, and she is currently working with Wedding Wire.
"During my first job at Boggs and Partners, one of the first projects I worked on was the development of Sally Mae's headquarters," says Maples. "It allowed me to take the skills acquired at Radford and put them to action. I got the chance to work with a large team and learned a tremendous amount about design and the business of design."
Maples has had the opportunity to work on teams of all sizes. She often reflects back on those late nights in McGuffey Hall with some of the girls she still calls her best friends.
"I don't pull all-nighters in a lab anymore, but this field is definitely inconsistent and sometimes you do find yourself working late," says Maples. "The passion that I have for design and creativity is inexhaustible."

The ARTAS Hair Studio Technology
See Your Potential Results Before Your Procedure with the ARTAS Hair Studio® Technology
An important question patients seeking a hair transplant procedure ask is "How will I look after my procedure?". Up until now, you could only imagine how your results would look and cross your fingers. Now, with the introduction of the groundbreaking ARTAS Hair Studio Technology, you do not need to wonder any longer.
During the consultation, your physician will use the ARTAS Hair Studio Technology to create a customized hair transplant design as a 3D model based on your personal photographs.
Different aesthetic outcomes require different graft numbers, distribution and placement of your transplanted hair. Using ARTAS Hair Studio, you will see the optimal number of grafts and hairline design needed to meet your expectations. No guessing is required. Together you can make a decision based on your needs and your physician's recommendations.
ARTAS Hair Studio Simulation (2,600 Grafts)
|Here is the Process Of Your ARTAS Hair Studio Consultation
|ARTAS Hair Studio Simulation Options
|Your clinician will take photos of you to design a customized hair pattern and illustrate aesthetic options. You will see the potential results if your grafts are placed in different areas of your scalp and how increasing your hair fullness and improving your hairline design will change your appearance.
Being able to view these different options helps address a fear of the unknown by enabling you to preview your potential outcome and see what you could look like with your new, permanently growing hair. If they are part of your decision-making process to choose to have a procedure, your spouse will also benefit from seeing what you could look like after your ARTAS Robotic Procedure. It is very helpful to actually see what your physician is describing vs. having to use your imagination and hope for the best.
This process may help to build your confidence by presenting you with an achievable, desirable aesthetic outcome. Men who decide to have a hair transplant benefit from understanding what is realistic and reasonable given their degree of thinning or baldness, facial structure, age and desired result. The physicians using ARTAS Hair Studio use their expertise and medical judgment to advise you and assist you in making the best decision.

What's your diagnosis based on these images of the fetal chest?
Images are courtesy of Firoz Bhuvar, MD.
Fetal aortic aneurysm
There is a spherical dilatation of the terminal part of the arch of the aorta, which is characteristic of aneurysm. The fetal heart does not show evidence of pericardial effusion. Also, the fetal lungs appear normal. Aortic aneurysm is extremely rare in a fetus, but is not unknown.

Leaving before sunrise having packed up the car the night before, we drove from Brighton all the way to Lake Windermere. I think it was approximately 5 hours in the car, but we entertained ourselves by singing loudly and snacking lots. totally love a road trip.
Arriving at Beech Hill Hotel, we were welcomed by the crackling fire and nestled into big snuggly Chesterfields and gazed out over the lake.
We were shown to the spa for some much needed relaxation after the long drive. We had a swim, steam and sauna and then skipped outside to the huge hot tub overlooking the forest and lake. It was so misty while we were there, which made it all seem mysterious and wild!
Feeling super relaxed again, we drove 10 minutes or so to the local town which was full of cute little shops – perfect for having a browse. You can get boat trips on the lake from there, but it was too foggy for us to bother, it's probably perfect for it now.
Our next stop was Lyth Valley hotel, a short 20 minute drive away through tree covered hills and spectacular views across the landscape.
From the outside Lyth Valley looks like a pub, and it maintains that warm and welcoming feeling as you walk inside. However it feels rather luxurious at the same time; they've managed to strike that balance between homely and luxurious, which is tricky to do!
Our room was like a self contained apartment with a living room, dressing table area and the most beautiful bathroom (literally still swooning over it every time I look at that picture!). Our bedroom looked out undisturbed over the hills.
Realising we hadn't done much walking yet in the Lake District, we decided to head over the hills in our bedroom view. We came across horses, pheasants, brooks and streams which was all pretty idyllic. We also decided it would be fun to "herd" the local sheep…the sheep didn't see the fun side.
That evening we dined in their restaurant. The food was incredible and the restaurant was rather full considering it was a weekday. All of the courses were delicious, but funnily enough the one course that stuck out the most was their homemade soup, I can honestly say I've never eaten a soup that tasted so heavenly.
As part of our stay we had access to another spa and gym. We decided our tummies were starting the get a bit podgy, so we drove back to the town to have a session in the gym, which has all the weights you'd need and also my favourite – vibro plates. Then we had a swim in the pool which overlooks the lake, finally a steam and then a "refreshing" scrub down in the ice room.
That bed was deliciously soft. I checked and all of the bed linen is from the White Company, and it felt luxurious. The detail they went to was just perfect for me, including the cowshed toiletries and the fluffy white robes in the wardrobe.
To book your stay at either hotel, just head to their websites:

See note (at the end of this article) about the LIGO announcement on June 15, 2016.
For any genuine paradox (G-paradox), it must have two FACTs which lead to CONTRADICTORY results.
In Chapter three of {The Divine Constitution (ISBN 0916713067, 9780916713065, see https://books.google.com/books?id=8MMzPwAACAAJ&dq=inauthor:%22Gong+Jeh-Tween%22&hl=en&sa=X&ei=9oDyT9z8E-PO2wWznf2fAg )}, it states: every G-paradox (such as, the Grelling autological paradox, Cantor's paradox, Russell set paradox, etc.) can be resolved in two ways.
One, there must be a higher symmetry which is able to unify the contradiction.
Two, the contradiction can always be removed by further symmetry breaking.
However, for a wrong-paradox, it is defined with the following equation:
Sum (fact (i)) + sum (error (i)) = wrong-paradox
For, i = {physicists}
I: A brief history
With this definition, we can now review the {Alice/Bob (black hole information) paradox}.
First, some facts.
One, according to GR (general relativity), some stars (with about 3 times of Sun's mass, 3 M☉ (the Tolman–Oppenheimer–Volkoff limit)) would collapse into a stellar black hole (a region that even lights cannot get out or escape) which has an event horizon (having Schwarzschild radius).
Two, this stellar black hole should be 'hairless', that is, having only three macro-parameters (mass, electric charge, and angular momentum) without any other variables (hairs).
Note 1, at this point, there is no paradox. This stellar black hole is a burial site for a once living star while all the quantum information of the star were buried (as a dead skeleton) but not lost.
Yet, there is i = 1 (Stephen Hawking), and he made the following CLAIMs.
One, a black hole is a black body, and thus it should have THERMAL-radiation (photons).
Two, this thermal radiation of black hole will lead to the eventual TOTAL evaporation of the black hole.
Three, this thermal radiation is not a carrier for any dead-skeleton (information).
So, the conclusion is that when this burial site (black hole) is totally evaporated, no dead-skeleton can be found while they were not carried out by the outgoing vapors (the thermal radiation, the photons). So, the dead-skeleton is simply lost (the black hole information paradox). But, this conclusion is in conflict (contradicting) with the laws of quantum mechanics.
Now, we have a 'dead-skeleton lost' paradox.
Then, there are i = 2 (Leonard Susskind and Larus Thorlacius, and some others), and they made the following CLAIMs.
One, the vapors are virtual particle pairs (Alice and Bob, not thermal photons) which are constantly being created near the horizon of the black hole, and one of them (always Alice) falls into the hole while Bob escapes.
Two, the escaping Bob will eventually lead to the TOTAL evaporation of that black hole.
Three, as Alice and Bob are entangled twins (only different in sex), all information of doomed Alice can be recovered from Bob.
The conclusion: although Alice's dead-skeleton was lost forever, her SOUL is preserved in her twin-brother Bob via the quantum entanglement. So, there is no 'dead-skeleton (information) lost' paradox.
Note: Stephen Hawking conceded to be wrong for stirring up this 'dead-skeleton lost'- paradox at this point.
Finally, there is i = 3 (Ahmed Almheiri, Donald Marolf, Joseph Polchinski, and James Sully), and they CLAIMed the followings.
One, Alice was not killed in vain, as she puffs out a bit blue light during her last breath (of course in accordance to the law of GR), and that little blue light made the black hole's event horizon a bit bluer.
Two, after enough (when about half of the black hole has evaporated) blue light accumulated, the event horizon becomes a firewall for any new infalling Alice who will be fried and never be able to go into the hole. That is, in all practical senses, the HOLE has disappeared (nothing can fall in anymore).
Is the un-evaporated half-black hole still there (as a reality)?
If it is still there, how can it evaporate from this point on?
If it keeps evaporating somehow, what happens to the remaining 'dead skeleton"? As the complementarity scheme can no longer work for firewall enclosed black hole, is the remaining 'dead skeleton" lost or not?
Well, the SHOW must keep going. So, there is i = 4 (Stephen Hawking, Andrew Strominger, Malcolm J. Perry). Of course, the easiest way out for all those wrongs is to denounce the 'no-hair'-theorem. So, they now CLAIM that all black holes have 'HAIRs'.
But, but, but, LIGO just announced that it observed 'gravitational wave' which was produced by the collision of two black holes. Yet, in its calculation (from and with that observed gravitational wave), these two colliding black holes have 'NO-HAIRs'. Furthermore, the amount of Hawking block hole hairs might not be ENOUGH to carry all the dead-skeleton.
For an (any) stellar black hole, it has, in fact, NO Hawking THERMAL radiation in any practical sense, as the apparent temperature of a black hole is much colder than the ambient temperature (about 2.7 Kelvin). That is, instead of radiating out, an (any) stellar black hole will absorb thermal radiation from its surroundings. No (absolutely not) stellar black hole formed from the supernova process can evaporate up to now or in a foreseeable future (at least twice the lifetime of this universe).
Then, why is this 'dead-skeleton' paradox still going?
Well, there could be some primordial black holes (the result of Big Bang, not from the supernova process) which have much smaller mass. And, the black hole temperature is inversely proportional to its mass. To have a black hole temperature larger than 2.7 K (and be able to evaporate), it would need a mass less than the Moon, and such a black hole would have a diameter of less than a tenth of a millimeter, and it can evaporate by now. During its last stage of evaporation, a primordial black hole can give out a burst of gamma rays, which should be detectable. Searches for such flashes have proven unsuccessful and provide stringent limits on the possibility of the existence of low mass primordial black holes. However, NASA's Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope launched in 2008 will continue the search for these flashes.
If the prospect of the primordial black holes is not good, again, why is this 'dead-skeleton' paradox still going?
Well, there should have some kind of micro-black holes according to the M-string theory. For a black hole of mass 1 TeV/c2, it could be detected at LHC (Run I). But, no such a micro-black hole was found thus far, including the LHC (Run II) data thus far.
Note: if any SUSY particle with mass over 1.5 Tev., it could turn into a black hole and should radiate out easily detectable gamma-ray flashes. But no such flashes are detected thus far.
Again, why is this 'dead-skeleton (information)' paradox still going?
They said: there are some great discoveries in the above history.
One, a new kind of entropy:
Hawking showed under general conditions that the total area of the event horizons of any collection of classical black holes can never decrease, even if they collide and merge. This becomes the second law of black hole mechanics, remarkably SIMILAR to the second law of thermodynamics. With the mass acting as energy, the surface gravity as temperature and the area as entropy, there is a new type of entropy.
This is the Bekenstein–Hawking entropy (S) of a black hole, which depends on the area of the black hole (A). The constants are the speed of light (c), the Boltzmann constant (k), Newton's constant (G), and the reduced Planck constant (ħ).
In classical entropy, black holes should have near-zero entropy. But with this new type of entropy, Bekenstein claimed that black holes are maximum entropy objects—that they have more entropy than anything else in the same volume.
Two, with this new entropy, Gerard 't Hooft and Leonard Susskind discovered the holographic principle, which suggests that anything that happens in a volume of spacetime can be described by data on the boundary of that volume.
Three, with the holographic principle, Juan Maldacena discovered the AdS/CFT correspondence in 1997. This AdS/CFT correspondence becomes a lifesaver for M-string theory on its issue of compactification.
Today, this AdS/CFT correspondence is the only pathway for the beyond the Standard Model physics for the mainstream physics.
II: A detailed review
The above is a brief history of the modern physics in the last 40 years. Is this history leading to a great future? Or, is it totally wrong?
If I do not have a different PATHWAY from the above wrong one, I will not have the right to call it wrong. If my pathway is not correct, I will not have the right to call other's wrong. The comparison is very simple.
Who can derive all nature constants (Cabibbo/Weinberg angles, Alpha, Cosmology Constant, etc.) and the Planck CMB data?
No one in the above history (the mainstream) can, but I can: see,
https://tienzengong.wordpress.com/2015/04/22/dark-energydark-mass-the-silent-truth/ and
https://tienzengong.wordpress.com/2015/05/15/paul-steinhardts-remorse-popperianism-and-beauty-contest/ (also see recently added-note below).
With these comparisons, there is no more argument about, the scientific methodology or else. And now, I have the right to call a spade a spade. The history of this 'information paradox' is totally on a wrong path.
Before showing the correct PATHWAY, I will point out a few Errors in the above history first.
Error one, Hawking radiation was all about thermal photons, and it is practically meaningless.
Error two, black hole will not evaporate with the Alice/Bob drama. Bob is not a part of the 'PRINCIPLE' in any black hole's bank account; that is, the escape of Bob will not take any energy away from the black hole. Even if this Alice/Bob drama were paid for with the 'principle' of the black hole, there is no physics law demands that Alice must always carry the 'negative' energy (which reduces the 'principle' of the black hole). Alice being a particle (not just photon), she carries some rest mass. So, if she does not provide more mass to the black hole, this Alice/Bob drama will at least not cause evaporation of black hole at all.
Error three, if the black hole does evaporate, its final Schwarzschild radius will go to zero, and its entropy 'AERA' will become zero too. That is, Hawking's 'area' law of black hole is wrong.
The correct path is only about one issue. What is gravity?
Gravity is very simple; it moves the Pepsi can (sits on my desk at REST) from {[here, now] to [here, next]}. And, it takes a force F (gravity) to do it.
F (gravity) = K*ħ/ (delta S*delta T), K is a coefficient constant.
Then, quantum principle emerges from this F (gravity). See http://prebabel.blogspot.com/2013/11/why-does-dark-energy-make-universe.html for details.
Of course, we can make a more detailed definition of gravity as follows.
One, gravity must be based on particle physics, as only particles are carrying mass (the only parameter for gravity). Both Newtonian gravity and General Relativity have nothing to do with particle physics, and thus they are wrong gravity theories. See https://tienzengong.wordpress.com/2016/03/16/nothingness-vs-nothing-there-the-quantum-gravity/
Two, the strength of gravity between any TWO objects is described with Newtonian gravity equation (GmM/r^2).
Three, gravity must be both instantaneous and simultaneous (to ALL particles in this universe). Gravity is DEFINITEly not transmitted with light speed, although the gravitational wave (an attribute of gravity) is. Gravity, by all means, is not 'local'. But, the strength of gravity for the Pepsi can which sits on my desk at rest is:
F (Pepsi gravity) = Gm {sum [M(i)/r(i)^2]} ….. Equation A
i represents the particles of the entire universe, except the Pepsi.
The Pepsi can is sitting on my desk (a spot on the worldsheet) at rest, and it (Pepsi can) is interacting with ALL other particles in this universe {which consists of two parts: the world sheet (real universe) and a Ghost point}. That is, this Pepsi can is linked to all other particles of this universe in two pathways:
One, in the real (matter) world, the distance between it and other particles is r(i) > {a Planck length}. So, the gravitational interaction strength between them is calculated with the Newtonian gravity equation.
Two, it (Pepsi can) is linked to all other particles via the Ghost point, and the distance between it and all other particles is R(i) = {a Planck length} for all "i".
So, the gravity STRENGTH for Pepsi can is calculated by Equation A.
The TIME for the gravity transmission is a {Planck time}, practically instantaneously.
While the gravity of ONE object (such as a Pepsi can) is calculated with Equation A, and the gravity transmission is via 'Planck time', the true definition for gravity is that it moves the entire universe from {now to next}. See graph below and http://www.prequark.org/Gravity.htm for details.
There are three different gravity theories.
One, Newtonian gravity, attractive force for mass.
Two, space-time sheet curvature about mass, the GR (General Relativity).
Three, moving the entire universe from {(here now) to (here (next), next)}, and this is {dark energy} all about, see http://prebabel.blogspot.com/2013/11/why-does-dark-energy-make-universe.html , and this force is
F = ħ/ (delta S x delta T)
The AdS/CFT correspondence is also the direct consequence of the above mechanism.
III: Paradox no more!
Now, we can address the 'information' issue in two ways.
One, every bit of information of this universe since its inception (Big Bang) is recorded with a detailed bookkeeping, the Cosmology Constant (CC). By comparing the calculated CC and the measurement, we will know whether there is any information loss. My calculation shows that there is no information loss at all, see https://tienzengong.wordpress.com/2016/04/24/entropy-quantum-gravity-cosmology-constant/ .
Two, black hole is not formed via the Alice/Bob drama. How can a 'fringe'-drama dig into the essence? Only by knowing exactly of how black hole is formed, we can then discuss its eventual death (if any).
In general, we said that gravitational collapse occurs when an object's internal pressure is insufficient to resist the object's own gravity. This statement is not wrong but is misleading, and it did mislead.
What is its internal pressure?
What is its own gravity?
I will make these more clear with two concepts.
One, {free particle}:
In the case of our Sun, the entire space (a BOX) that a given atom (hydrogen atom, etc.) in its lifetime roamed in is viewed as a free particle (the box, not the atom). This free particle (the box) might be a cube with 100 miles on its sides, and it contains billions of atoms. For every free particle (the box), it is viewed as an at rest (not moving) particle.
Definition: if a NET force on a particle = zero, it is a free particle.
That is, a {free particle} is always at rest (in terms of the box), as that box does not receive any external force and does not project out any force.
Theorem one: for a particle in a compact object, it is a free particle
Corollary one: the water molecules in the ice-lattice is a free particle.
So, a neutron inside of a neutron star is a free particle.
Two, tidal force:
For a rod (or a box) with one meter long, [(rB – rA) = 1 meter], there is a tidal force on this rod (or box) if it (the box) is not a free particle of a compact object (the source of the tidal gravity),
Tidal force of (A, B) = F(r) – F(r-1) = Tf(A, B)
The gravity force for A and B are:
F(A) = F(r), r is the distance of point A to the center of the packed object.
F(B) = F(r + 1), one meter farther away from the center.
If the gravitational tidal force of a compact object on a box (A, B) is smaller (<) than the structure binding force of the box (hydrogen atom), it could form stars, as it cannot tear atoms apart.
If the gravitational tidal force of a compact object on a box (A, B) is larger (>) than the structure binding force of the box (hydrogen atom), then the atoms will be pulled apart. In this case, it most likely becomes a 'neutron' star.
When the gravitational tidal force of a compact object on a box (neutron) is larger (>) than the structure binding force of neutron, it pulls neutrons apart and becomes a black hole. Of course, most of the black holes are formed without going through the neutron star stage.
So, basically, there are, at least, three types of stars.
One, 'proton' star (PS): like our Sun which is 99.99% composed of 'hydrogen atom (containing proton)"
Two, 'neutron' star (NS)
Three, 'black hole' (BH)
The diameter of PS (like Sun) is in the average of 'one million' miles, and mostly composed of protons (hydrogen atom). The tidal force of Sun is not big enough to break up the hydrogen atom. Yet, the nuclear fusion produces enough 'thermal-energy' to balance the gravitation force of the Sun. So, it has a huge diameter.
When the hydrogens are all burnt out, the helium fusion produces much less thermo-energy, the gravitation force will get the upper hand and pull the matter inward. It collapses, with a few pathways.
Type I Supernova: results a white dwarf star, the carbon fusion begins to support a radius about 7000km (about the size of Earth). Yet, it is still a 'proton' star.
Type II Supernova: When the tidal force is big enough to break up hydrogen or helium atoms, it collapses as a neutron star with the average radius of (1 to 10 miles), a size of a small city. All atoms are pulled apart, and no proton can survive.
If the tidal force is strong enough to break up 'neutron', it becomes 'black hole' with Schwarzschild radius about 10 miles for a 3-solar-mass black hole. All hadron particles are pulled apart.
Then, what is inside of the black hole?
The wrong way of saying says that black hole converts the baryons and leptons in the collapsing body into entropy. Other wrong way says that there could be the quark/gluon plasma.
In the classic theory, a black hole is defined with a Schwarzschild radius which marks an event horizon. However, in this G-string-gravity theory, a black hole is formed by tearing apart all particles via the spaghettification.
After this spaghettification, all particles are torn apart and become strings.
In M-string theory, those strings form the branes.
In G-string theory, those quark/lepton-strings (line-string) curl up into ring-strings, which has zero area and zero volume.
The big difference between G-string and M-string is that G-string has 'internal' structure (described with A, V). Those quark/lepton G-strings are 'line'-strings. When they become ring-strings, they are no different from the M-ring-strings, see http://prebabel.blogspot.com/2011/11/m-theory-toe-if-and-only-if-it-adds-two.html .
That is, all M-string's formula does work for G-string. In the black hole, G-string will become an M-ring-string.
Note: without the internal structure, M-string is unable to describe the universe outside of the black hole and is a failed theory, see https://medium.com/@Tienzen/indeed-the-m-string-theory-is-a-total-bullcrap-for-the-following-reasons-ca9a44931938#.5lav4kdh8 .
When G-quark/lepton-string (line-string) curls up into a ring-string, the quark color charge and generations are neutralized (not destroyed). So, when a particle (neutron, proton, lepton or else) falls into a black hole, it becomes a ring-string, with all charges neutralized but conserved. When they are radiated out later (if any), the rings straighten back up to regain their charges. That is, no information lost, nor gained.
There are four differences between this G-string description and the classic one.
One, instead of an event horizon with Schwarzschild radius, there is a spaghettification zone. As soon as a particle (or else) is spaghettified, it breaks up into G-ring-strings.
Two, the Schwarzschild description of a black hole has a 'singularity' at the CENTER of the Schwarzschild sphere. But, in this G-string description, each ring-string is a 'singularity' of itself, and there is no singularity at the center of anywhere.
Three, each ring-string is a free particle inside of the black hole. That is, there is no longer any free-falling or tidal gravity on this ring-string when it passes the event horizon.
Four, the event horizon is the innermost circle of this spaghettification zone.
So, 'quantum gravity' is not about the gravity of neutrons in the neutron star!
Gravity is the force which MOVEs this entire universe with quantum units, see http://prebabel.blogspot.com/2013/11/why-does-dark-energy-make-universe.html and the quantum principle is the emergent of gravity.
Again, every particle in a compact object (solid ball, star, etc.) is a free particle.
So, the gravity of a particle in a compact object EQUALs to all particles in that compact object in accordance with the Equation A.
And, the neutron at the center of the neutron star sees the same gravity as the neutron at the edge.
IV: Conclusion
This information issue is addressed in two ways.
One, the bookkeeping, the calculation of the Cosmology Constant.
Two, the internal structure of the black hole, all ring-strings which still carry the mass and electric charge, but all other information is stored away.
Finally, the holographic principle is the direct consequence of the moving (from now (t1) to next (t2)) universe.
Note (added on June 10, 2016):
Black holes are only burial sites for cosmological objects and play a minimal role in the structure of the cosmos, which is ruled by {dark energy, dark mass, and visible mass}.
The recent (2016) study done by (Adam G. Riess, Lucas M. Macri, Samantha L. Hoffmann, Dan Scolnic, etc.) shows that the Local value of the Hubble Constant is about 9% higher than the Planck CMB data (2015) estimation.
The Local Value of the Hubble Constant: H0 (now, later universe) = 73.24 ± 1.74 km s−1 Mpc−1
The Planck CMB data (Using ΛCDM with Neff = 3) estimation: H0 (early universe) = 66.93 ± 0.62 km s−1 Mpc−1
The ratio {H0 (now)/H0 (old, CMB)} = {73.24/66.93} = 1.0942
So, H0 (now) is 9.4% higher than the H0 (old, at CMB).
This result implies that there is a 'dark radiation' (or Neff = 3.4) becoming dark energy and making the universe expanding faster than the CMB period.
See, http://news.berkeley.edu/2016/06/02/universe-expanding-faster-than-expected/ ]
This 'dark radiation' was PREDICTed long ago with G-string gravity model, see the graph below.
Dark energy 1 = X; dark energy 2 = Y; Mass (visible + dark) = Z; Dark radiation (dark mass melting into dark energy ratio): W = 9%
Note: LIGO announced (on June 15, 2016) for the observation of 2nd set of black hole merges. Professor Matt Strassler commented: Incidentally, the question of whether they might form the dark matter of the universe has been raised; it's still a long-shot idea, since there are arguments against it for black holes of this size, but seeing these merger rates one has to reconsider those arguments carefully and keep an open mind about the evidence. See, https://profmattstrassler.com/2016/06/15/ligo-detects-a-second-merger-of-black-holes/ .
In addition to Strassler's comment, I would like to point out three issues.
One, with this rate of observation, the population of these twin black holes can be estimated. And, the supernova process might not be able to support such a population during the lifetime of THIS universe. The supernova process (SP) is well understood for producing a single black hole. The mechanism for producing twin black holes via SP is not well understood.
Two, if these twin black holes are primordial black holes, then there must have three sub-issues.
First, its population density must be very high. And, there is no reason for favoring only the twin. And, their production mechanism is totally unknown.
Second, if these are primordial black holes, they must have some signatures in the CMB data, as they are much colder than the CMB ambient temperature.
Third, if a primordial black hole can have over 30 M☉ mass, then the entire 'inflation' idea will be in jeopardy.
Three, gravitation WAVE is a wave; that is, it is in RIPPLEs. Yet, thus far, LIGO only detected a single silver bullet (with three contours) for each GW. Until we can detect more than one ripple of the same GW, …
Yes, a gravitational wave is a reality in G-string gravity. But, LIGO is saying much more than it actually knows.

Currently available on VOD and in theaters on March 14th, The Art of the Steal tells the story of Crunch Calhoun (Kurt Russell) a motorcycle daredevil and art thief who agrees to pull off one final lucrative art theft with his untrustworthy brother, Nicky (Matt Dillon), which will, of course, lead to nothing but trouble for everyone involved.
Collider was invited to sit down with actor Kurt Russell to talk to him about that film and, during the interview (that we will run more of closer to the film's theatrical release), conversation turned to what he'll be doing next, the passion he has for making wine, and when he expects to return to finish his work on Fast & Furious 7. He talked about how he's got both a heavy film with director Mark Pellington, called Clang, and the Western Bone Tomahawk, that he's hoping to get into production, how making wine is very similar to making a movie, and that he thinks filming for Fast & Furious 7 will resume in April, even though he does not yet know how they'll be handling the loss of Paul Walker. Check out what he had to say after the jump.
Do you know what you'll be doing next?
KURT RUSSELL: Yeah, I actually have a couple of things. There's this thing called Clang, that's a real heavy lifter. It's a Mark Pellington project that is interesting. This will be one that, as an actor, you shut the door, turn the phone off, hunker down and go to work. Also, I have another picture called Bone Tomahawk, which is a Western that I've been circling around for a long time. I hope that will get done. And then, there's another picture called Race to Nome, which I think they may shoot part of this spring, and then next fall. But, I'm spending a great deal of time right now with wine. I love making wine.
What type of wine are you making?
RUSSELL: Gogi wine is the wine that I make. It's a high-end Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. We're just opening [on Valentine's day] at the 1880 Union Hotel in Los Alamos. I've been spending a lot of time there, getting the room ready. I've gotta say that I'm at a point in my life where that's a lot of fun. It's really, really fun. I love being at the vineyard. I love learning about making wine. I love making really good wine. I love drinking it. I love people's response to it. It's so much like making a movie, only you're doing everything. Valentine's Day is my 31st anniversary with Goldie [Hawn], so we're mixing it. We're going to open this place up, and my daughter's wines are going to be there. Kate Hudson and Matt Bellamy have Hudson Bellamy wine, which is going to be there, as well. It's a very good Rosé.
So, we're doing a wine-tasting format at this super cool Wells Fargo Stagecoach stop that's a 14-room hotel with a saloon that was built in 1880. We're just turning it into a wine saloon, which is fun. I've gotta say, it's touch to get out of that world. It's fun and it's endlessly fascinating. It is a lot like making a movie. There is no part of it that's formulaic. It doesn't work that way. Every year, it's different. I'm just having a great time with that. I still love making movies. I do, and I always have. There's lots of stuff that I'm looking at, right now, and have been. I read stuff and go through stuff. When they come along and I like them, then it's time to go to work like that.
Do you still have to go back and finish your work on Fast & Furious 7, when they figure out what they're going to do with that?
RUSSELL: Yeah. I don't know what's going to happen there, but I do have more work to do on that. I think that's going to take place in April, if I'm not mistaken. I don't know what they're going to do. I haven't spoken to them. I saw Vin [Diesel] at the memorial for Paul [Walker]. He was just a wonderful guy. He was the kind of guy that what you saw was what you got. He was a really good guy. The thing that was rough there was that we had some good conversations, but I sensed from them that this was a guy who enjoyed many things in his life and was very appreciative, but was also getting to a point where he wanted to begin to seriously, in an artistic sense, explore what would excited him and find out where he might go. He was literally just turning that page and just saying that he wanted to peak onto the other side, and then he was out.
It certainly makes you re-evaluate what's important in life.
RUSSELL: All you can do is try to continue to enjoy life, on a day-to-day basis, knowing that it can be over quickly. And what you do in it, you have to weigh. But when you're a person who enjoys things that can be inherently risky, even though, most of the time, they're very well controlled, there will be moments of potential disaster. They're going to be out there. Hopefully, you escape them. He didn't escape that one. That's just the way it goes. So, I don't know what they're going to do, or how they're going to deal with it. I get the feeling that some time in April is when I'm going to go to work.
At least everybody involved seems to care and is taking time to figure out the best way to handle it.
RUSSELL: Oh, very much so. I don't think I've ever met anybody who didn't like Paul. I haven't heard of a person who didn't. I don't know who that would be. If you didn't, I would wonder about that person. It's just a rough thing, especially for his daughter.

Medicare drug prices rise at ten times rate of inflation as Sen. Claire McCaskill, D-Missouri, said that just envisage if you approached an auto dealership and they were selling last year's precise model was being sold at a 20 percent mark-up and you visit the place again and the same thing happened. The same is occurring with the prescription drug industry where the price of homogenous drugs escalated year after year.
McCaskill has been raising pertinent questions regarding the skyrocketing prices of medicine even amid congressional inspection. The new report called Manufactured Crisis: How devastating drug price increases are harming America's seniors said that radical price raises puts forth the requirement of further investigation to regulate the influence on healthcare system costs and economic oppression for the increasing senior population in the US.
The report concluded that raising pharmaceutical drug prices abide a crucial worry for patients and managers alike. In the past decade these crucial price raises have emanated as a ruling propeller of U.S. health care costs, a movement authorities predict will protract at an expeditious pace.
The report scrutinized the prices of most prescribed drugs under the Medicare Part D program from 2012 to 2017. It discovered that the drug Nitrostat utilized to mitigate chest pain had risen the most, a percentage change of 477%.
Zostavax, directed for shingles among seniors had the unsatisfactory percentage increase but was still high: 31% over five years.

A vote for keeping traditional opera
As a season subscriber to the San Diego Opera, I read with interest the April 28 article "Opera ponders radical changes to keep afloat" (April 28). Unfortunately, they will lose me and my husband as subscribers when they turn opera into musical theater. What they are proposing — modernizing it, "spicing it up" and appealing to a younger audience —can no longer be considered opera. They are taking away what appeals to opera lovers: "opera on a grand scale," which is what opera should be.
If San Diego cannot support opera as it has been — traditional and grandiose — then the city does not deserve having it. I know I would not subscribe to see an opera with vampires and jazz in it.

Parking, shuttle available in park
Regarding the April 26 letter, "Balboa Park shuttles — what shuttle," I have found more than enough handicapped parking places in the large lot at the old Naval Hospital grounds on the east side of Park Boulevard serviced frequently by the large shuttle vehicles.
Granted, it is difficult for handicapped individuals to make their way around inside the museums, but there are plenty of resting places between the shuttle stop and the buildings.

Anti-nukes should deal with plant now
The April 25 letter "PUC rolls over on San Onofre costs" fails to mention an important fact. Technically, the plant wasn't shut down because of the steam generator screwup but actually scrapped because of heavy handed Nuclear Regulatory Commission action (read anti-nuke political pressure).
After a year of analysis, Southern California Edison concluded it could run both plants safely and reliably at 70 percent power providing over 1,500 megawatts of power to our grid, 24/7, for many years to come, with zero carbon pollution.
The NRC denied the option and ruled that a new licensing application would be required, which is akin to a death sentence. My car will do 100 mph on the freeway, but 70 is safer and the car lasts much longer. So for anti-nukes, you got your way. Start turning off lights, go back to watching a 21-inch TV, and, if you're going to kill something, deal with burying the carcass.

Can't plead ignorance in parking ticket case
A visitor from Illinois was ticketed for wheel cramping and said "it is unreasonable to ticket visitors who have no knowledge of the rule" ("Visitor gets a fine — but there was no sign," April 28).
Any of us visiting Illinois would get the same citation under Illinois Vehicle Code Sec. 11-1401, "when standing upon any perceptible grade, turning the front wheels to the curb or side of the highway." Ignorance is not an excuse.

Desal is the way to go
I don't understand why they keep saying drought when we have all the water we want at our doorsteps — from the ocean. Our ships at sea and our submarines use desalination to purify the water to drink and other uses. Carlsbad is building a desalination plant.
Why don't we use money to build a plant instead of building a new City Hall. The water from the desalination plant would be suitable for human consumption or irrigation. along with recycled waste water. This is one of the few rainfall-independent water sources.
Desalination is particularly relevant to dry countries. according to the International Desalination Association. In June 2011, 15,988 desalination plants operated worldwide and produced 66.5 million cubic meters per day, providing water for 300 million people. Do you think this telling us something?

A good retirement means not having to worry – about home maintenance, upkeep, gardening or even household chores. It means feeling secure, financially and in your home. It means having friends to spend your new found free time with and knowing that should you need help someone is always nearby. At Griffith Retirement Estate we work hard to give our residents the best retirement possible.
Neighbours who are also friends
One of the great advantages of living at the Estate is that you soon get to know not just your immediate neighbours, but your entire neighbourhood. Our residents come from all walks of life and many form new and long lasting friendships with people they might otherwise have never met. Of course this doesn't mean they give up friendships with people living outside of the Estate – visitors are always welcome and residents are free to entertain them in their own homes or the Community Centre.
Socialise as much or as little as you like
While living at the Estate provides many opportunities to get together with other residents how much time you spend socialising is entirely up to you. A common misconception about retirement estates is that you will be forced to participate in events held at the Estate – that's simply not true! We understand that everyone is their own person, it's what makes our community the rich, vibrant, exciting place it is. To that end you can join in as much or as little as you like – your home is your own and it should reflect what you want.
Community Centre
The Community Centre is the social hub of the estate and its extensive facilities such as the dining room, hairdresser, library, bar and gym. Residents may gather with friends and family, to relax while playing billiards or darts or for a drink at the bar. Occasionally the Estate also hosts special events residents and members outside of the community can attend if they wish. In addition to being the social hub, the new Community Centre at the Griffith Retirement Estate Retirement Estate has 30 beautifully appointed Assisted Living Apartments offering a hotel like experience for residents. The Apartments offer the benefits of assisted living with the freedom to live independently.

A couple of weeks have passed, dear reader, and yes, once again I've left you hanging. We've been busy, and life is good. There isn't anything super really important to share. Which makes me feel really boring in general. I'll let you know the rundown of some of the events we've had going on over here at the way out inn.
Jess had her spring musical and it went incredibly well. Three shows, two of them sold out. It was a smash hit. Jess stole the show... and there is video and there are photos a plenty.
Check out the gallery, gallery checker outers.
I was exceptionally proud of them because most musicals are flat out lame. The kids did this one ("Bye Bye Birdie") to the letter, with exceptional choreography and drop dead comedic performances. I went to all three shows and died laughing each time. It's helpful when you KNOW the kids... and you can appreciate their performances, but there were people there from away, and people who were there just to see a musical. To see an absolutely packed house was such a joy.
They did a great job and I'm proud to know all of them.
Here is Jess' amazing and shining comedic moment as Mae Peterson. Enjoy.
Geoff has been doing really well over the past several weeks.
We had a series of meetings with his school about things and a new behavior plan is in place for him. Each day I receive notification as to how his behavior was, and he gets to self-evaluate twice a day to check in and see how he's doing. When I receive notification about things that we need to go over, he is receptive to talking about what he did wrong and better yet, what he could do better the next time.
He seems to be responding well to the new behavior plan.
Geoff recently confessed to me that he wishes every day was Boy Scout meeting day. "Boy Scouts is my life" he tells me. I'm kind of happy for that. He's found something that he LOVES and looks forward to. Whenever there is a Boy Scouts related event he's all over it. It has forced me to be more involved, resulting in me taking 6 hours of advanced leader training and possibly becoming the troop chaplain.
Yes. I said troop chaplain.
I suggested that we look into doing the God and Country program with the kids, and then suggested I'd be the one to help them with the process, which would make me the troop chaplain. Committee needs to vote on it, but for the most part, I'm feeling that it would be a good thing for me. And them. Geoff included.
In troop news, we got a new Eagle Scout!
Remember a few months ago I told you about helping our Eagle with his project. He finished his project and went on his board of review, and passed. So our troop gets a new Eagle and I cannot wait for his Court of Honor. I'm crazy in love mad about this kid, totally enjoy his company and adore his family. He's my hero. I'm proud of him. The Court of Honor will be a blast, complete boy scout mayhem, and life will be good. I can't wait for Geoff to see it, because he knows how hard J worked for his rank advancement, and says that he wants to be an Eagle too. Our troop has four Life Scouts who right now have their projects organized and going to the board of review so we could have five Eagles by the end of this year if things work out right. Which is amazing.
That, my friends, is about the update. I've got a major cold and just took a pantload of PM cold medicine and 2 glasses of wine, so I think I ought to not be blogging much anymore. Not much else to tell, just wanted to make those who wonder if I'm alive or not happy.

Two great news items for supporters of SL art: Peter Greenaway, the acclaimed British director of The Cook, the Thief, His Wife & Her Lover with Helen Mirren, and The Pillow Book with Ewan McGregor, has donated 6 months worth of sim tier in a new crowdfunder to re-open Immersiva, the SL art installation by Toronto artist Bryn Oh, who recently lost her patron, and had to close the sim. Greenaway, who's been a longtime supporter of SL art, has this to say about Bryn Oh:
"In the exciting new arena of immersive Art which offers so much to the future of communications, Bryn Oh is an important, fascinating and innovative pioneer and should definitely be supported." - Peter Greenaway
Who can resist a plea like that? Click here to contribute to the Immersiva crowdfunder, which offers a number of benefits beyond the supporting metaverse-based arts and Bryn Oh in particular: For example, $100 gets you one of five of Bryn's SL sculptures and the private use of Immersiva on your rez day, while $500 gets you a real life pen-and-ink drawing by Bryn Oh's corporeal hand. So once again, click here for the crowdfunder.

WALTHAM, Mass. – February 13, 2019 – The Massachusetts Association of Realtors® (MAR) reported today that both the number of single-family homes and condominiums put under agreement in the month of January rose over 21 percent compared to the same time last year. This marks 12 straight months of year-over-year increases. The median price for pending single-family homes saw a three percent increase to $379,000 while condominiums saw a four percent increase to $369,900 compared to January of 2018.
January Pending Sales:
Single Family
January 2019
January 2018
% Change
Median Price
Pending sales have been up for the past 12 months
Pending sales have been up or flat for nine of the last 12 months
"While the federal shutdown captured a lot of attention in January, buyers remained focused, stayed active in the market, and were successful in making accepted offers on homes," said 2019 MAR President Anne Meczywor, broker/associate at Roberts & Associates Realty, Inc., in Lenox.
January Realtor® Market and Price Confidence Indexes:
Confidence Index
Measured on a 100-point scale, a score of 50 is the midpoint between a "strong" (100 points) and a "weak" (0 points) market condition
"While Realtor® confidence is still on the positive side of the scale, we've seen a downward shift as factors such as fluctuating interest rates, the government shutdown, and lack of homes for sale have entered the minds of buyers and sellers," said Meczywor.
About the Data Sets:
The tracking of signed purchase and sales agreements (also called "pending sales") provide reliable information about where the real estate market is heading in coming months.
A pending sale or a sale "under agreement" happens when the buyer and seller agree on the terms of the sale of a home and have a signed purchase and sale agreement but have yet to close and be recorded as such. MAR is the only organization, which compiles this statewide information from Multiple Listing Services each month.
Monthly pending (or under agreement) data and closed sales data comes from the three Realtor®-affiliated Multiple Listing Services in Massachusetts. They are the Berkshire County Multiple Listing Service, Cape Cod & Islands Association of Realtors® Multiple Listing Service, Inc.; and MLS Property Information Network, Inc. The data is compiled by 10K Research and Marketing, Inc. and updated each month. As a result, previous data may change after the reports have been run.
The Realtor® Index Methodology - The Massachusetts Realtor® Market Confidence Index (RMCI) and Price Confidence Index (RPCI) are based on monthly responses from a random sampling of Massachusetts Association of Realtors® members on the state of the housing market. More specifically, the survey asks members two basic questions pertaining to the real estate business in their market area in Massachusetts.
How would you describe the current housing market?
What are your expectations of home prices over the next year?
In addition to these standard questions, the survey each month includes one wildcard question that changes each month and is based on an industry hot topic*. (*because of an error in the question design, no hot topic question will be released with January Future Indicators Release)
The RMCI is calculated in the following way. Respondents indicate whether conditions are, or are expected to be "strong" (100 points), "moderate" (50 points), and "weak" (0 points). The results are the average score for each question. A score of 50 is the threshold between a "strong" and a "weak" condition. Similarly, the question about home prices over the next year (Realtor® Price Confidence Index) is calculated using five categories: "Rise 0-5%" (75 points), "Rise 5%+" (100 points), "Level" (50 points), "Fall 0-5%" (25 points), and "Fall >5%" (0 points).
About the Massachusetts Association of Realtors®:
Organized in 1924, the Massachusetts Association of Realtors® is a professional trade organization with more than 24,000+ members. The term Realtor® is registered as the exclusive designation of members of the National Association of Realtors® who subscribe to a strict code of ethics and enjoy continuing education programs.
Editors and reporters: Please note that the term Realtor is properly spelled with an initial capital "R", per the Associated Press Stylebook.
The Massachusetts Association of Realtors® is a professional trade association for licensed real estate practitioners and is affiliated with the state's 13 local Realtor® associations.

|Sunrise at Campobello, 12x24 oil by Michael Chesley Johnson - Available
(Re-creation of en plein air painting)
|Mr Roosevelt's House - 12x24 oil en plein air by Michael Chesley Johnson
(Private Collection)
Not wanting to redraw the whole cottage by hand in a new painting, I needed to figure out a way to use the drawing of the cottage as represented in the original painting. A good photograph of that painting plus Photoshop helped me out.
Using Photoshop, I cropped the photo down so it included just the cottage but maintained the original height of the painting. (The new painting was going to be the same 12x24 as the original, so for proper registration, this crop needed to be 12 inches tall.) Since the cottage had been positioned in the right half of the painting, I cropped out everything to the left of it. Next, I converted the full-color photo to greyscale. Then I applied the "poster edges" filter to make the edges of shapes clearer. This final image I saved as a PDF file.
I printed out the PDF file full-size with the "poster" and "cut marks" options checked in my printer dialog box. This centered the image on four sheets of 8 1/2 x 11 paper. I trimmed along the cut marks, as shown:
I assembled my "poster, and then taped the sheets together:
Then I did my final trim:
Next, I turned the paper over and colored the back solidly with a black pastel:
I then carefully positioned the sheet, pastel side down, over my 12x24 panel (toned with yellow ochre) and taped it in place:
Using a sturdy cardboard tube as a mahl stick, I traced the major features of the cottage with a hard pencil:
When I removed the paper, I had an accurate (though cartoonish-looking) drawing of the cottage on my panel:
After spraying the drawing with fixative, I continued to the painting step. Here is an early stage, followed again by the final version. I call this a "re-creation" of the original because there are intentional differences between the two paintings. I did not simply want to copy the original, which was a plein air piece. Although I maintained the quality of morning light, I made some small changes.

Personalized lenses based on a patient's vertex, pantoscopic tilt and frame wrap measurements are increasingly popular. Patients like them because the design of a personalized lens is based on the position of wear, which enables them to get the lens' full optical performance.
But lens personalization can be complicated, as many dispensers and labs will attest. When compensated prescriptions based on position of wear first came out, it confused many doctors and dispensers who weren't able to verify the lenses made by their lab. Although that problem has lessened as personalized lenses become more familiar, dispensers face other problems.
As Kyle Kravick, ABOC, retail manager at SSM Health Davis Duehr Dean in Portage, Wis., explains, "When a first-time customer comes in for an eye exam with a pair of glasses that has a compensated Rx, the optical technician will neutralize the glasses, and that will give you a starting point. It is not the Rx that was written, it is the Rx as worn. Does the tech take frame wrap, vertex distance and measure panto? Do they do the math to find out what their written Rx was? Call the last place they went to? What if that customer is coming to you because they cannot see out of the glasses they got somewhere else or can't see out of the glasses you sold them? Some places give out a card that has their compensated Rx on it. Great idea, but they get lost or tossed. These issues will only get worse."
Kravick makes a good point. At minimum, dispensers need a way to identify lenses that are made from a compensated Rx. This issue has been raised by others, and The Vision Council's lens marking committee is looking into possible solutions.
Kravick's solution is to have labs use standardized lens markings that include vertex distance, frame wrap and panto measurements (VWP). Dispensers would neutralize the new patient's glasses and enter those measurements along with the VWP, into a compensated Rx calculator supplied by the lab either online or via an app. As Kravick says, "No cards, no calling, no unnecessary remakes, no issues."
What do you think? I'd like to hear your ideas.

The pre-Columban migration of peoples to the North American continent occurred in three distinct waves, according to research published in the scientific journal Nature, based on survey of Native American DNA.
Genetic data had previously suggested that only one major wave of migration explained the presence of the ancient Americans in the New World.
However, the majority of today's "indigenous Americans" are the descendants of just one huge wave of immigrants who reached Alaska from Asia at least 15,000 years ago – when a land bridge linked the two continents.
For years it has been contentious whether the settlement of the Americas occurred by means of a single or multiple migrations from Siberia, said Professor Andres Ruiz-Linares from University College London (UCL), a co-author of the study.
But our research settles this debate: Native Americans do not stem from a single migration. Our study also begins to cast light on patterns of human dispersal within the Americas.
The second and third migration apparently only influenced the certain populations in the Arctic, including Eskimo-Aleuts and the Chipewyan.
There are at least three deep lineages in Native American populations, said another co-author of the study, David Reich, a professor of genetics at Harvard Medical School.
The Asian lineage leading to First Americans is the most anciently diverged, whereas the Asian lineages that contributed some of the DNA to Eskimo-Aleut speakers and the Na-Dene-speaking Chipewyan from Canada are more closely related to present-day East Asian populations.
After their arrival on the North American continent, the people continued to migrate southward along the coast, with smaller groups periodically moving off on their own. Ultimately, these "migrants" eventually found themselves thousands of miles away in what is now South America as far as present-day Chile.
The new research appears to vindicate the theories of linguistic expert Joseph Greenberg, who proposed in 1987 that most of the languages spoken by the native peoples of the Americas could be traced to the single tongue of the first settlers who arrived in Alaska from Siberia across the Bering Sea those uncounted centuries ago.
Greenberg, who died in 2001, called this ancient language 'Amerind.'

A recently established North East firm is targeting first year turnover of at least £1m after creating a highly effective flood barrier for homes and small businesses.
Watergate Flood Solutions, of Hebburn, invested more than £20,000 to put its innovative product put through rigorous testing that confirmed it provided the highest possible protection during flash flooding.
Having secured a British Standard Kitemark, the company is now in talks over sales and distribution.
"Flooding is a very topical subject at the moment and our local MP has taken an interest in it," said Watergate operations director Gerard Hiscock.
"We are the only company between here and the Midlands to create a product that's gone through this test.
"We're hopeful it will be a success and that we can provide some local employment as a result. We're so excited about this product."
To produce the Watergate, as the barrier is known, another Hebburn firm, A H Engineering, was called upon to manufacture some parts.
The barrier, which is attached to doors during instances of flash flooding, is made of a lightweight but strong composite material, and features a rubber seal and two metal channels. It is constructed so that it works with water pressure, meaning the more severe the flooding, the more effective the device becomes.
Currently, British companies producing such defences need to a comply with a 2009 standard, under which flood barriers can still allow up to two litres of water to pass through every hour. Under a new standard coming into force, however, this will be reduced to one litre in total.
In tests conducted by leaders in the field, HR Wallingford in Oxfordshire, the Watergate let through 4ml of water on one occasion and no water at all in every other instance.
"They were astonished that we had managed to produce something so effective," Hiscock said.
"With regards to time, you've only got a few minutes in these situations, and, with some other products on the market, you'd need a degree to put them together and they are so heavy by comparison. This is more streamlined and looks really simple."
MP for Jarrow, Stephen Hepburn, who visited the business recently, said: "It was a pleasure to meet staff at A H Engineering Ltd and Watergate Flood Solutions Ltd in Hebburn and it is extremely pleasing to see these two local companies working together to create this innovative flood defence product. Areas across South Tyneside have been hit hard by flash flooding in recent years and I sincerely hope that this product will help protect residential properties, shops and businesses against flooding at present and in the future.
"I have written to the Association of British Insurers urging the insurance industry to provide incentives to users of these products in a similar way they do to people who equip their premises with burglary deterrent devices."

text: The topic of the NEMA14-50 socket has come up a lot lately. When seeing one, someone might want to assume that they could get 50amps of current out of one. For instance, check these specs/features: Leviton 125/250V Flush Mount Receptacle - Industrial Plugs - Leviton 279 - LevitonProducts.com So that "50 Amp" feature can be misleading. I think that describes the max capability of the physical connector, but current can be more limited by the equipment behind it. For instance, there could be a 40 or 50 amp breaker. If a 40 amp breaker, code says you shouldn't draw more than 32 amps. If a 50 amp breaker, code says no more than 40 amps. This page says: So, I think there are some NEMA 14-50 with 40 amp breaker installed out there. Also, various adapters may provide a NEMA 14-50 even though there is a smaller than 50 amp breaker behind it. For instance, this Y cable is called "MAXIMIZER RV 50-AMP GENERATOR ADAPTER" yet it provides far less than 50 amps of capability. Various cable adapters, like those from EVnut will also let you plug NEMA14-50 equipment into 30 amp sockets. Also, the EAA Avcon to NEMA14-50 adapter box mentioned on the EVnut site above lets you get a NEMA14-50 socket that has equipment behind it that typically only pulls about 25 amps, not 50. The Tesla MC240 is listed as "30 amp capable", and some have wondered "why not 40" or "even 50", and I think the above illustrates why it is safer for it to not use more than 30. Some home made kits have been able to adapt Avcon to Roadster without using the MC240, but one needs to be careful about how much current you try to pull through the Avcon cable. 25 amps is probably most appropriate. 30 or 32 amps is pushing it. 40 amps is probably too much. If you have a home installed NEMA14-50 not adapted from another socket, and you know it has a 50 amp breaker, and suitable wiring gauge, then yes, 40 amps can work, but if on the road at an unfamiliar NEMA14-50 or Avcon it is probably best to stick to lower current.
