\section{\label{sec:level1} Introduction}

Quantum dynamics is a growing discipline at the interface of chemistry, physics
and materials science~\cite{Zewail2000}.
It allows to study the behavior of objects in a way, that
emphasizes the quantum nature of their evolution in time. Quantum dynamics
simulations are an indispensable tool for investigating processes such as
chemical reactions~\cite{Kamat2012}, field-atoms interactions~\cite{Yuan2017}
and quantum computing~\cite{Rosaleny2018,Jahangiri2021}. The particular emphasis is focused on investigating the photoinduced dynamics of breaking (dissociation) \cite{Wei2017, Vinklarek2021, Chang2021, Ramphal2021, Zhao2021, Murillo2021} and creating (association) \cite{Koch2012, Ulmanis2012, Carini2015, Tomza2019, Giussani2020, Weyland2021} of the chemical bonds in the molecular systems. Photoassociation processes play a key role in the field of cold and ultracold physics and chemistry, allowing for the formation of molecules in the deeply bound ground states and investigation of their unique quantum properties \cite{Borsalino2014, Borsalino2016, Balakrishnan2016, Devolder2021, Leung2021}. On the other side, controlled photodissociation reactions enable for creation of atomic and molecular fragments in specific quantum states and use them for researching the selected properties of matter \cite{Alekseyev2000, Kokkonen2014, McDonald2016, Wei2017, Toth2020}. While the dissociation through the barrier of the potential (tunneling) is well described by exponential decay \cite{Tannor2007, Schmidt2015, Jasik2018a}, the dissociation of the system of coupled excited electronic states should be rather described by other forms of decays. Several different models for these kinds of decays were investigated, such as product decay~\cite{Kong2020}, dephasing~\cite{Gruebele1998}, and the power-law decay~\cite{Mizuno2018,Utterback2019,Dong2015}.

The aim of our study is to show the time-dependent descriptions of the photoassociation and photodissociation processes in the polar alkali diatomic molecules and the quantum properties of these reactions in their characteristic time regimes. We propose the femtosecond laser impulse parameters' optimization procedure providing the maximization of the population in the coupled complex of excited electronic states. Dynamics investigations of this system of molecular states allow us, in the case of an association, to establish the optimal time delays for the femtosecond train of laser pulses enabling the formation of molecules in the deeply bound ground state, as well as present the general modified power-law decay allowing for the proper description of dissociation process.

All our considerations are based on an exemplary polar alkaline dimer, which is the NaRb molecule. The sodium rubidium molecular system has been studied both experimentally \cite{Tamanis2002, Docenko2004, Pashov2006, Docenko2007, Guo2022} and theoretically \cite{Korek2000, Chaieb2014, Wiatr2015, Wiatr2018}. It is worth underlining that in a recent experiment~\cite{Guo2016, Guo2017} Guo et al. reported successful production of an ultracold sample of the absolute ground state of {${}^{23}$Na${}^{87}$}Rb molecules.

In our study, we apply our newly-developed code to simulate the laser-driven dynamics of photoassociation of the NaRb dimer that takes the spin-orbit coupling into consideration.
The dynamics on multiple coupled electronic levels are determined by
solutions to the coupled time-dependent Schrödinger
equations. In recent years, several numerical methods and their improvements
have been introduced, including higher-order split operator methods, the
expansion of the time evolution operator to Chebyshev
polynomials~\cite{VanDijk2022,Soley2022,Kosloff1984,Kosloff1997,TalEzer2012},
or the \textit{semi-global} method~\cite{Schaefer2017}. The effective Hamiltonian
for describing nuclear kinetics in coupled
multiple adiabatic or diabatic electronic
states plays a key role.

Here we use our newly-developed quantum dynamics code that  allows us to  study
the dynamics of multiple coupled states under the influence of an arbitrary
time-dependent external field, to investigate the femtosecond laser-driven process of
association and the forbidden transition in the {${}^{23}$Na${}^{87}$}Rb dimer.
In this process, the dimer is excited from the ground triplet state
$1^3\Sigma^+$ to the $1^3\Pi$ state using the femtosecond laser pulse and next, the
spin-orbit coupling between the $1^3\Pi$ and $2^1\Sigma^+$ states results in
the singlet-triplet transition.
We use the Born-Oppenheimer potential energy curves (PEC) which were
presented in our previous work~\cite{Wiatr2015}.

In the analysis, we use the lowest electronic states of the NaRb molecule,
appropriate transition dipole moment functions (TDMF), and spin-orbit coupling
(SOC) matrix elements.
Additionally the femtosecond electromagnetic pulse parameters are optimized to
obtain maximum yield in electronic levels correlating with the first excited
atomic asymptote. We present a map of the optimization space
of the pulse parameters and the detailed population statistics.
Inspired by~\cite{Mizuno2018} we propose a modified
power-law to describe the population decay. Finally, the analysis of the
population oscillations allows for  the determination of the optimal time
delay for dumping molecule to its absolute ground state.

\section{\label{sec:level2} Computation method}

The time propagation of a system of coupled time dependent nuclear Schrödinger
equations (TDSE) for multiple electronic levels and time-dependent Hamiltonian follows
the \textit{semi-global} method~\cite{Schaefer2017}.
The couplings between the electronic levels are time-dependent.
The TDSE has the following general form:

\newcommand*{\hat{\mathbf{H}}}{\hat{\mathbf{H}}}
\newcommand*{\hat{\mathbf{V}}}{\hat{\mathbf{V}}}
\begin{equation}
\label{eqSchTDHCoupled}
i\hbar \frac{\partial}{\partial t}
\begin{pmatrix}
	{\psi}_1 \\[1mm]
	{\psi}_2 \\[1mm]
	{\psi}_3
\end{pmatrix}
=
\begin{bmatrix}
	\hat{\mathbf{H}}_1(t)     & \hat{\mathbf{V}}_{1,2}(t) & \hat{\mathbf{V}}_{1,3}(t) \\[1mm]
	\hat{\mathbf{V}}_{2,1}(t) & \hat{\mathbf{H}}_2(t)     & \hat{\mathbf{V}}_{2,3}(t) \\[1mm]
	\hat{\mathbf{V}}_{3,1}(t) & \hat{\mathbf{V}}_{3,2}(t) & \hat{\mathbf{H}}_{3}(t)
\end{bmatrix}
\begin{pmatrix}
	{\psi}_1 \\[1mm]
	{\psi}_2 \\[1mm]
	{\psi}_3
\end{pmatrix},
\end{equation}

\noindent
where the $\hat{\mathbf{H}}_{m}(t)$ corresponds to the Hamiltonian for the respective
electronic level in the Born-Oppenheimer approximation and $\hat{\mathbf{V}}_{m,n}(t)$ are either: (1) the
respective transition dipole moment functions $\mu$ multiplied\footnote{Following  Tannor~\cite{Tannor2007} (page 396) we neglect the vector character of $\mu$.} by the laser
impulse electric field $\varepsilon(t)$ or (2) the spin orbit potential
$\xi$; depending on the nature of the coupling between the two
electronic levels. The Hamiltonian for three electronic levels
is summarized in Tab.~\ref{tab:table1}.

\end{figure}

The gist of the \textit{semi-global} method~\cite{Schaefer2017} is that
the evolution operator
is expanded, using $K$ terms, in the Krylov space into two parts: the
time-dependent part of the Hamiltonian and the Hamiltonian in the middle of the
timestep $t+\frac{\Delta t}{2}$, for which the time-dependent part serves as a
correction calculated in the $M$ interior sub-timesteps. The calculation of
solutions for $M$ interior sub-timesteps is iterated several times (usually two
to five) within a single global timestep $\Delta t$ until the solution converges
with the requested error tolerance $\epsilon$. Then the calculation moves on to
the next timestep.

The \textit{semi-global} method is implemented in C++,
thus allowing calculations faster than the original Matlab code~\cite{Schaefer2017} and extended
with the ability to handle an arbitrary number of electronic levels (a feature not
present in~\cite{Schaefer2017}) such as in Eq.~\ref{eqSchTDHCoupled}. It is
then used with the following parameters (which are discussed in detail
in~\cite{Schaefer2017}):
the timestep $\Delta t=1$~a.u., the
number of interior Chebyshev time points $M=5$ and the number of expansion
terms used for the computation of the function of a matrix $K=7$. The error
tolerance is set to $\epsilon=10^{-10}$.
The discretization grid has 6144 points and the absorbing boundary condition
(the same as in~\cite{Schaefer2017}) is placed at the distance $R_{max}=70$~$a_0$.

\begin{figure}[t]

\end{figure}

\section{\label{sec:level3} Results and discussion}

Our previously calculated~\cite{Wiatr2015} PECs, TDMF $\mu_{1^3\Sigma^+-1^3\Pi}$ and SOC $\xi_{2^1\Sigma^+-1^3\Pi}$
along with the sche\-matic photoassociation transitions are shown in Fig.~\ref{fig:PEC}.

As the initial condition, the $v=20$ eigenfunction is placed on the $1^{3}\Sigma^{+}$ state, because it is one of the highest populated levels obtained in
the experiment~\cite{Guo2016,Guo2017}.
Then the following laser impulse is used:

\begin{equation}
\label{eq:laser}
\varepsilon(t)=I\,\, \textrm{sech}^2\left(({t-t_p})/{\tau_p}\right) \cos(\omega t),
\end{equation}

\noindent
where the frequency $\omega$ corresponds to a commercially available
laser with the wavelength $\lambda=1560$~nm, the impulse center $t_p=111.26$~fs
(4600~a.u., also marked
in Fig.~\ref{fig:Pop1} with an arrow), while the intensity $I$ and
the full width at half maximum (FWHM) are optimized to maximize
population on the excited state (the FWHM of the impulse equals to $1.76 \tau_p$).
The optimization is performed
by scanning a range of these two parameters.

The scan of the sum of the population on two excited states $2^{1}\Sigma^{+}$ and $1^{3}\Pi$ is shown in Fig.~\ref{fig:ScanHundA}.
It is interesting to note the existence of three characteristic horizontal bands. The first band occurs for the intensity $I<1.5\times10^{14}$~[W/cm$^2$]. Here the horizontal lines
of the higher population indicate that the FWHM energy spread of the impulse does not
affect the population and it mostly depends on the light intensity.
The second band is in the middle range of $I$ between $1.5\times10^{14}$ and $2.5\times10^{14}$~[W/cm$^2$]. Here
a semi-diagonal pattern emerges where the FWHM energy spread dependence plays a major role.
Finally in the third range for $I>2.5\times10^{14}$~[W/cm$^2$] a nonlinear behavior
takes precedence and a chaotic pattern emerges.
These findings indicate that there is possible an interplay between the
intensity and the impulse duration with the eigenenergies and the vibration
frequencies of the NaRb molecule occurring on the target electronic state
$1^{3}\Pi$.

\begin{figure}[t]
\includegraphics[height=\columnwidth,angle=270]{fig3.pdf}
    \caption{\label{fig:Pop1} The evolution of the population
    on the two excited states $(2^1\Sigma^+$, $1^3\Pi)$.
   The laser impulse FWHM is 26.6~fs, the intensity is $2.0768\times10^{14}$~[W/cm$^2$]
    and the wavelength is 1560~nm.
    The laser impulse parameters correspond to the peak population found in the scan in Fig.~\ref{fig:ScanHundA}.
    The period of oscillations between the two levels is $296.35$~fs.
    The first peak of $2^1\Sigma^+$ is $172.49$~fs after $t_p$ (see Eq.~\ref{eq:laser}).
    In the figure the first 60~fs, when the laser impulse is weak and population is near zero, are not shown for brevity.}
\end{figure}

Next, using the optimal parameters $I$ and $\tau_p$ (marked
with a cross in Fig.~\ref{fig:ScanHundA}) corresponding to the maximum population,
the time evolution of the population on the excited electronic levels is performed.
Fig.~\ref{fig:Pop1} shows results for obtaining the maximum population found,
which is $P_0=97.2$\%.

The effect of the spin-orbit coupling is visible in
Fig.~\ref{fig:Pop1} as the population exchange between
levels $2^1\Sigma^+$ and $1^3\Pi$.
The period of the oscillation between the two levels is $296.35$~fs.
The first maximum on $2^1\Sigma^+$ occurs $172.49$~fs after the center of
the impulse $t_p$. This is the optimal time delay for the next
laser impulse to dump the molecule to the absolute ground state
using a pulse train with a period of $296.35$~fs.
It means that the peaks of the pulse train should correspond to the peaks in the $2^1\Sigma^+$ state.

Due to the constant shift of the population between the two electronic levels caused by SOC
the wavefunction is not fully representable by the eigenfunctions on the target PEC,
hence some part of the wavefunction goes to the continuum and
is responsible for dissociation.
This causes a population decay over a larger timescale
and only a fraction of the original population remains at the end, as shown in Fig.~\ref{fig:PowerLaw1}.
As we show below, this is not an exponential decay as in the predissociation process~\cite{Jasik2018a}. It is instead a distribution of the power-law, as it happens by the coincidence of population exchange between two levels~\cite{Mizuno2018,Moller2000,Shapiro1998,Brems2002}.

\begin{figure}[t]
\includegraphics[height=\columnwidth,angle=270]{fig4.pdf}
    \caption{\label{fig:PowerLaw1}
    Sum of population on $2^{1}\Sigma^{+}$ and $1^{3}\Pi$ decaying during the first 2500~ps.

    (b)~best fit using the power-law in Eq.~\ref{eq:PowerLaw1};

    (e) The best fit value of the final population $P_{f,exp}$ in Eq.~\ref{eq:ExpLaw1}.}
\end{figure}

Following the idea in~\cite{Mizuno2018} that the population decay in the case
of two coupled levels should follow a power-law decay, we analyze the population
decay on the two excited levels $2^{1}\Sigma^{+}$ and $1^{3}\Pi$.
The calculated population from Fig.~\ref{fig:PowerLaw1} is fitted respectively to the modified power-law decay formula:

\begin{equation}
\label{eq:PowerLaw1}
P(t)=P_0 \left(\left(1-P_{f,pow} \right)\sqrt{\frac{\tau_{pow}}{t+\tau_{pow}-t_0}} + P_{f,pow} \right)
\end{equation}

\noindent
and to the exponential decay formula:

\begin{equation}
\label{eq:ExpLaw1}
P(t)=P_0 \left(\left(1-P_{f,exp} \right)\exp\left(-\frac{t-t_0}{\tau_{exp}}\right) + P_{f,exp} \right),
\end{equation}

\noindent
where $P_0=97.2$\% is the initial population on both levels, $t_0=10$~ps
is the start of the decay, $\tau_{pow}$, $\tau_{exp}$ are the fitting decay parameters, and
$P_{f,pow}$ and $P_{f,exp}$ are the fitting parameters describing the final non-zero population.
The $\sqrt\bullet$ part of Eq.~\ref{eq:PowerLaw1} was modified with respect to~\cite{Mizuno2018} with an
extra $\tau_{pow}$ in the denominator in order to shift the function to the left so that the initial population
is not infinite when $t=t_0$ (as is the case in~\cite{Mizuno2018}), but instead
equals $P_0$.
Also in both equations for decay we used a modification of type: $( 1 - P_{f})\bullet +  P_{f}$ to allow extra fitting parameters $P_{f,pow}$ and $P_{f,exp}$ for the final non-zero population.
It shall be noted that compared to~\cite{Mizuno2018} the situation
here is also different: both potentials $2^{1}\Sigma^{+}$ and $1^{3}\Pi$
are bonding potentials and neither of them is dissociative (see Fig.~\ref{fig:PEC}).
Therefore, it is worth seeing how the modified power-law decay fits our numerical results.

The fit results in Fig.~\ref{fig:PowerLaw1} are as follows: $\tau_{pow}=196.03\pm0.04$~ps,
$P_{f,pow}=0.1801\pm0.0001$ and $\tau_{exp}=459.7\pm0.3$~ps, $P_{f,exp}=0.4246\pm0.0001$.
The asymptotic standard error percentage of the fit~\cite{Orear1982}
for the power-law is $0.02$\% and for the exponential law is $0.06$\%.
The best fit for exponential law produces a nonphysical result,
because the fitted final population $P_{f,exp}$ (Fig.~\ref{fig:PowerLaw1}e)
has value greater than the steadily decreasing population (a) or (c).
The fit for the power-law (Fig.~\ref{fig:PowerLaw1}b) is
significantly better, since it almost overlaps the numerical result
(Fig.~\ref{fig:PowerLaw1}a), with error $0.02\%$. The final population
(Fig.~\ref{fig:PowerLaw1}d) is $P_{f,pow}=18\%$. Overall the modified
power-law is a better description of the decay occurring in this situation.

\section{\label{sec:level4} Conclusions}

In our study, we show the time evolution of three coupled potential energy
curves of an exemplary diatomic NaRb system. The necessary potential energy
curves and dipole transition moments were taken from our earlier ab initio
calculations and supplemented with a newly calculated spin-orbital coupling
between the upper singlet and triplet states. In our approach, the spin-orbit
coupling is a function depending on the distance between the nuclei. The
considered system is driven by a femtosecond laser pulse. The two parameters
describing the femtosecond laser pulse, i.e. intensity and half-width, are
independently optimized. The aim of optimization is to obtain the largest
possible population of molecular states correlated with the first excited
atomic asymptote. We also identify the period of population oscillation between
the two excited levels $2^1\Sigma^+$ and $1^3\Pi$. This allows us to design the
optimal sequence of electromagnetic pulses to dump the molecule to the ground
state. The optimal time delay after a pump pulse to dump the molecule to the
ground state is 172.49 fs using a pulse train of 296.35 fs. We are also
examining the combined population decay from these two levels. We fit this to a
modified power law and show that this fit is better than that of an ordinary
exponential decay. We emphasize that these results can be important for a
thorough insight into quantum processes where time plays a key role. Our
approach is possible to apply to even more complex systems where only one
soft bond (e.g.~between two fragments in a molecule as in~\cite{Wei2017}) is
most important to describe a time-dependent process.
We confirm the finding in~\cite{Wei2017} that laser control can be applied to
the spin-orbit coupled states.

All dynamic results are obtained from our new computer code which uses a
\textit{semi-global} method~\cite{Schaefer2017} to expand the time evolution
operator. The method is improved to work with multiple electronic levels
and time dependent couplings. It can be a valuable tool for scientists
studying quantum dynamics and planning future experiments.

Lure of the Sun: Charles Blackman in Queensland
Brisbane's influence on the art of Charles Blackman, one of Australia's most important artists, will be explored in a new exhibition at the Queensland Art Gallery (QAG) from 7 November 2015.
Telling a fascinating story about the development of one of the country's foremost artists, Lure of the Sun: Charles Blackman in Queensland features over 50 paintings and works on paper drawn from more than 12 private and state collections, and explores the connections and friendships Blackman made while living in Queensland.
"When the Sydney-born Blackman first ventured across the border into Queensland in the late 1940s he was welcomed by several notable friends and creative locals, including artist Laurence Hope and future wife Barbara Patterson," said Queensland Art Gallery | Gallery of Modern Art (QAGOMA) Director Chris Saines, CNZM. "These friendships and connections had a lasting influence on Blackman's creative oeuvre and his practice from this period."
Brisbane-inspired works from Blackman's famous 'Schoolgirl', 'Faces and flowers' and 'Alice' series form a significant part of Lure of the Sun and will be on display alongside works by fellow Australian artists Laurence Hope, Laurence Collinson and Jon Molvig.
Michael Hawker, the Gallery's Associate Curator of Australian Art, said the artist had maintained a significant connection with Queensland since his first visit and Brisbane remained an important influence later in his career.
"While in Queensland, Blackman became acquainted with the early works of Sidney Nolan whose formative influence on the young artist can be seen in works such as the 1952 painting from the Queensland Art Gallery Collection, City Lights." said Mr Hawker.
"The work that most honours the friendships that the self-taught Blackman forged in Brisbane is The family 1955, a painting of Judith Wright, Jack McKinney and their daughter Meredith which recalls a winter's day picnic at Cedar Creek near Mount Tamborine."
Charles Blackman was awarded the Helena Rubenstein Travelling Scholarship in 1960 and in February the next year the family sailed to London. Blackman exhibited his work to wide critical acclaim, before returning to Queensland in 1966, and shortly moved to Sydney.
In 1977 he was awarded the OBE and the Queen's Silver Jubilee Medal. During the early 1980s he returned to Queensland and lived at Buderim and became interested in theatre design. During these years the subject of rainforests and sugar-cane fields dominated his production. He was instrumental in setting up the Moët & Chandon Australian Art Fellowship in 1987. He now resides in Sydney.

Ban on Election Signs in Michigan Bars and Restaurants is Unconstitutional, ACLU Says in Lawsuit
DETROIT – In a federal lawsuit filed today, the American Civil Liberties Union of Michigan asked a judge to strike down a Michigan Liquor Control Commission rule prohibiting businesses with liquor licenses from displaying election signs that endorse a political candidate or party.
"In a free society, business owners shouldn't have to trade in their free speech rights for a liquor license," said Michael J. Steinberg, ACLU of Michigan legal director. "Political signs play a crucial role in elections and our local restaurants and taverns have always been social and political hubs. Singling out businesses with liquor licenses for censorship makes no sense and violates basic democratic principles."
While today's lawsuit was brought on behalf of a popular restaurant and bar in Ann Arbor called the Aut Bar, it will impact the free speech rights of restaurant, bar and liquor store owners throughout the state.
Several weeks ago, Aut Bar owner Martin Contreras posted signs in front of his business supporting John Dingell for Congress and Carole Kuhnke for Washtenaw County Circuit Court Judge. However, after learning about the no-election-signs rule and consulting with the Liquor Control Commission staff, he removed the signs. The penalty for violating the rule ranges from a $300 fine to loss of a liquor license.
"When my partner, Keith Orr, and I opened the Aut Bar 17 years ago we wanted to open a positive and affirming gathering place for the men and women of the gay community, their families and friends," said Contreras. "Our goal was not only to provide great food, but also a safe place for networking and information sharing especially surrounding political decisions that impact our families. It's absurd that we are not able to display political candidate signs and must remain silent on these important issues simply because we serve alcohol."
The MLCC rule, which took effect in 1954, states that a business owner with a liquor license cannot display sign in support of a political candidate or party, except when the business owner is hosting a convention of delegates or during a fundraiser in which the business owner has received a special temporary license.
Yet, the same restaurants and bars may display commercial signs, signs about ballot initiatives and advocacy signs addressing any other social issue of the day. Additionally, owners of restaurants that do not serve alcohol may post election signs.
In its lawsuit, the ACLU of Michigan contends that the MLCC rule violates the First Amendment by denying individuals who own businesses that sell alcohol their right to express their views about political candidates. It will ask the federal court to issue a temporary restraining order so that election signs can be displayed at the Aut Bar before the November 6 election.
In addition to Steinberg, Contreras and the Aut Bar are represented by ACLU Cooperating Attorney Genevieve E. Scott.

Paying by Gift Aid means that on an adult ticket, each UK taxpayers' voluntary donation of 30p is boosted by a refund of tax from the government of 82.5p, so that the Pier receives £1.125 in extra revenue from each adult visitor. This really helps towards meeting the substantial cost of essential maintenance and regular repainting of the pier.
*If you do not wish to make this voluntary donation, please advise our staff when paying.
Dogs are welcome on the Pier and in our shop, so long as they are kept on a lead. Pet waste bags are available for free in our tollhouse, should you need them.
We regret we cannot allow dogs into Tiffin@The Pier, the Pagoda, Discover@The Pier, or our Porthole Room, except guide dogs.
We do not allow any balloons (including "biodegradable" balloons) to be let off from the Pier, for environmental reasons. Even biodegradable balloons can cause damage to wildlife in the time it takes them to break down. Further information about why we don't allow this, is on the Marine Conservation Society website.
You are welcome to take photos from the pier for your own personal use. We do not allow tripods, as the size of them can cause a trip hazard. For permission for commercial use for photos or video, including for a portfolio, please contact us.
If you are planning on having your wedding photos taken on the Pier, there is a charge of £50 for this, and we request that you book, to ensure it is possible on the day you are visiting. Please see here for further information.

If Maureen Dowd ever decides to go back to Colorado and give weed edibles another chance, she may have more success figuring out how strong that chocolate bar is — but she also won't be able to buy any marijuana gummy bears: New state laws going into effect Oct. 1 require more prominent potency labels on edibles, as well as prohibiting certain shapes that could be mistaken for regular candy treats.
In an effort to keep kids from getting their hands on drug-laced candy Colorado will no longer allow retailers to sell any weed edibles that are shaped like animals, fruit, or humans, including any artistic, caricature, or cartoon renderings.
Geometric shapes and fruit flavors are fine, however.
The new rules also require products to have a larger potency label: Potency for medical and retail marijuana, concentrate and product must be labeled either in a font size that is at least two font sizes larger than the surrounding label text and also not less than 10 point font.
It also must be bold and enclosed within an outlined shape like a circle or a square, or highlighted with a bright color.

PARIS, 1705 Jean Marius, a purse maker by trade, created the modern portable umbrella. Marius' umbrella design was fabric secured to a latticework of fragile, ugly, finger-catching ribs. Louis XIV awarded him a royal patent.
Does this umbrella sound familiar?
Even in the face of three centuries of unprecedented innovation in design, engineering and technology—three centuries of improvement of just about everything—every umbrella today is structurally the same. From the most expensive, bespoke stick umbrella to the smallest compact umbrella to the so-called reverse, or upside-down, umbrella. Every single one is made the exact same way: fabric secured to a latticework of fragile, ugly, finger-catchable ribs.

Record profits, yet victims not paid
Tuesday, November 4, 2008 2:49pm
Even though our country's highest court has ruled that Exxon was indeed negligent in the 1989 grounding of the Exxon Valdez and the subsequent spilling of 10.8 million gallons of oil, it has not yet paid up! Even though the Supreme Court decided the $2.5 billion punitive charge was too much and lowered it to a ratio of 1:1 with compensatory damages ($507.5 million), it still hasn't paid up!
Now 14 years later, Exxon is contesting the 1994 interest ruling on the punitive damages, and $70 million in court costs — costs that from day one of the court proceedings were agreed to be bared by each side. Also, the Seattle Seven (seafood companies) entered into a deal to seed back $55 million to Exxon from any proceeds they were to gain.
Do the math: $507.5 million in 2008 without interest would be an equivalent dollar amount of about $257.5 million in 1996 dollars (the year the interest clause was entered). That's a ratio of about 0.5:1 punitive to compensatory, not 1:1 as our U.S. Supreme Court ruled. Now suppose we give back $70 million in court costs: $187.5 million. Give back $55 million from the Seattle Seven: $132.5 million. Last, look at what percentage that is of the recent $14.83 billion quarterlies: 0.89 percent! Wow … if you make the average 2007 U.S. yearly household income of $50,233 and take the quarterly income of $12,558, you just paid a speeding ticket of $112!
Sherman Antitrust Law of 1890? What does that have to do with Exxon/Mobil? In 1911 the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that Standard Oil must be broken up into 34 independent companies. Two of those companies were Jersey Standard, which eventually became Exxon, and Socony, which eventually became Mobil. With the merger of Exxon/Mobil, are they not just getting the old Standard Oil back together?

Q: Can VBScript be used for public websites? I have piece of VBScript and I want to use it on my website.
I believe that VBScript can only work on IE
but my question is can VBScript work for people that not on my intranet?
For example if www.stackoverflow.com has a function written in VBScript, would the function be able to be executed by its visitors and without any security limitation or only for computers that on the local stackoverflow network?

A: Using VBScript on a public site is fine, so long as you are willing to accept that it will only run for those using IE.
The reason it is not commonly used is exactly because it will only run on IE. Most developers want their code to run on as many browsers as possible, so they use javascript.
In general, I would suggest not to use VBScript on the client side.

A: VBScript is not used by StackOverflow, the fact that it works only in IE, it should be avoided, use Javascript instead.

Trump's Space Command set for liftoff, however ...
Exclusive: Stacy Washington warns of Democrats' changes to Air Force missile program
Published September 11, 2019 at 7:11pm
By Stacy Washington
On Aug. 29, the Trump administration's Department of Defense launched Space Command, the newest branch of America's military and a critical step forward toward the creation of the Space Force. The move is a substantial win for the president, who secured bipartisan support for his once-scoffed-at initiative during a time of such political and international strife.
Under the direction of Air Force Gen. John Raymond, Space Command, or SPACECOM, will cover a variety of space-related national security operations, including missile warnings, satellite operations and space control. SPACECOM will serve as both a launchpad for the Space Force military branch, as well as a command hub for the nation's leading space operations.
The president may have received the green light from the Pentagon to create a new warfare command, but he hasn't fully succeeded yet. His next challenge will be to convince Congress to provide the Air Force with the rockets and tools it needs – and on the timeline it needs them – to fend off America's adversaries. That objective, however, has thus far proved difficult to achieve.
Currently, the United States' access to space is almost completely reliant on foreign-made rocket parts – made by the very countries that are challenging America militarily, both in space and elsewhere. That's not a recipe for SPACECOM success; it's setting up the U.S. for failure.
The Air Force's hallmark space program, known as the National Security Space Launch System (NSSL), seeks to change this by creating standalone, domestically made rockets. However, in a misguided effort to increase competition, the House of Representatives is standing in the program's way.
Just last month, Democrats passed a version of America's annual defense budget – the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) – that would completely restructure the Air Force's NSSL program. Despite the competitive bidding process that resulted in the Air Force's selection of three capable providers, the bill would force the Air Force to reopen the bidding process for domestic launch contracts after a given period. And instead of allowing the Air Force to merely select the very best aerospace contractors to secure our national defense, the NDAA would mandate that the program work with even more providers than it is already.
According to the Air Force itself, the reconfiguration time and potential for error caused by these changes would significantly delay the program and the availability of domestic-made rockets. It will weaken America's security in space, increase its reliance on adversary technology and empower rogue nations at the U.S.' expense.
While the White House may be inclined to disparage the left's behavior, such an impulse should be resisted. On this issue, we have the opportunity to find common ground – but only if the Democrats are willing to entertain the notion.
Given all the Democrats' talk about Russia's influence over U.S. national security, the administration must clarify that its primary goal in backing the Air Force's version of NSSL is to strip away Russia's ability to influence the United States. We've been dependent on Russian-made engines for over two decades, and during that time, Russia has only increased its aggression.
Just recently, Russia was once again caught testing its nuclear capabilities. And according to the Pentagon, Russia is moving forward with plans to develop its military hardware – including laser weapons and anti-satellite missiles designed specifically to limit America's capabilities in space. For all these reasons, there is already a congressionally mandated date on the books to cease purchase of these Russian-made parts. However, with Democrats' NDAA changes, the Air Force has stated that the military won't be able to meet this deadline. Under Democrats' watch, America will become even more reliant on Russia. That's certainly not something the left wants, and they need to be made aware.
The administration must also make clear the importance of moving forward with the Air Force's NSSL to prevent the rise of other authoritarian regimes around the globe, for example, China. According to the Defense Intelligence Agency, China views space critical to modern warfare. The Chinese regime is actively looking to exploit advances in spacefaring technology to weaken America's military effectiveness.
Experts have already said we're 40 years behind China in the space race. Even if the Democrats' changes delay the introduction of U.S.-made rockets by just two years, military leaders know all too well how quickly China can make progress in merely 24 months. Make no mistake: China poses an imminent threat to the freedoms enjoyed in the United States. That's a reality Democrats must understand.
While Trump should be applauded for creating SPACECOM, it means nothing without NSSL. Just as the Navy couldn't operate without ships, America's space program cannot function without reliable, effective, domestically produced rockets. To ensure the future success of the United States' spacefaring endeavors, our nation must prioritize the successful and timely development of American-made rockets.
The United States' space program is prepped and ready for liftoff. Now it's up to all Americans – Republicans and Democrats alike – to ensure it doesn't stall on the launchpad.

Filmmaker Adam Taylor (Photo: Trish Taylor)
"Free range content creator" Adam Taylor has a wide open mind when it comes to spotmaking
TX native's work leaps from humor to visual storytelling, from small screens to really, really big ones
This is a big story. For one thing, the aspect ratio for the featured project is 6000x1000. For another, it takes place in Texas. But, perhaps, the biggest thing about this story is the wide open mind of filmmaker Adam Taylor, a relative newcomer to the spot industry, who seamlessly transports the audience to the location of his choice. For the recent sales kickoff summit of Insperity, for example, Taylor shot in 8K with a Cooke anamorphic lens and took an assemblage of human resource professionals on a dramatic orchestral maneuver, from booming concert hall to a conference room, filling every inch of a 120-foot screen.
Taylor, whose website describes him as a "free range content creator," formed his passion for filmmaking as a teen, when he talked his way into a job at Title Wave Video, a local mom and pop video rental shop in Houston. "I learned to love movies and the lost art of counting back change," he mused. "I delivered my senior thesis on VHS and made some really bad student films." Taylor's work improved over time. His wife, photographer Trish Taylor, was shooting a good amount of commercial work in and around Houston. "During the digital revolution, we decided to network with the local crew and started producing TV and corporate films for our existing commercial clients," he recalled. Taylor also looked to directors he admired, including Jordan Brady, whose RESPECT THE PROCESS podcast he follows. "Being dialed into Jordan created a crack in the wall between me and the work I wanted to be doing," said Taylor, who attended the director's first Commercial Directing Bootcamp, in Los Angeles, and was so impressed he attended Brady's session in Dallas. "I am always looking to the next level of filmmakers, honing my craft, learning and trying to grow."
Grow, he has, securing directing assignments for a range of clients, including Quarem, Emergicare, Halliburton, and, of course, Insperity. So pleased was the latter with Taylor's "big screen" debut, the client decided to broadcast another of the director's Insperity commercials - a :30 branding spot - nationally.
It is fitting that the sales kickoff video segues from the orchestral to the personal, because Taylor's work for Insperity is ultimately about people. For the same client, he directed "The Fund," a longform piece exploring Insperity's social action network for employees. The video goes beyond testimonials, tapping into raw emotion to convey the ways in which the company earns its internal mott, "OneInsperity."
Humor also finds it way into Taylor's repertoire. For Quarem, a pioneer in lease administration software for commercial real estate companies, he directed "We Want It All," a film noir spoof that proves you don't need Martin Scorsese's Rolodex to cast a mob movie. "To have some laughs with a genre, the key is not bells and whistles, it's affection for the source material," Taylor observed. "If you loved Jimmy Cagney or Edward G. Robinson, it isn't a huge leap to Abbott & Costello."

Here is a look at my top 5 products I have been loving in May!
Guerlain Meteorites Highlighting Powder Pearls in 02 Clair ~ $77.00 CAN. An illuminating powder made up of light-diffusing pearls that minimize flaws and add brightness to the skin.
How have I not shared these on here before?! You can tell I'm getting low on these; but, I have had these for almost 4 years! I have loved these for a long time - I kind of go in and out of using these and this whole month, I have reached for no other finishing powders! This leaves the slightest glow to the skin and it just gives such a good finish! I know these are a little pricey; but, these last forever! I just dip in a big fluffy brush in this and sweep it over my face!
I think I always need to start my Monthly Haul posts with the intro "Hello, my name is Renee and I am a Beauty Shopaholic"....!
ColourPop Palettes ~ $39.00 CAN. I picked up both the Golden State of Mind and Element of Surprise palettes from Facebook swap groups. Some people received these in their April Boxycharm boxes and wouldn't use them so I thought I would scoop them up and give them a try!
Happy Saturday everyone! I hope you all had a great week! This was a short week here; but, am I the only one that finds they seem to be the longest?! Also, Elliott has been sick still all week so we have had a lot of long nights!
I love getting fun goodies in the mail! I just received my May Scratch Monthly Mani Kit! This is a nice, affordable subscription that features nail wraps from GoScrachIt that are exclusive to the kit and designed by NinaNailedIt!
Wet N Wild "Flights of Fancy" Summer Collection Box - Swatches, Makeup Look and Review!
The Wet n Wild Summer "Flights of Fancy" is absolutely stunning! It's a huge range of products - eye shadow quads, lip scrubs, primer water, lip glosses, blushes and eye liners! I love the Hummingbird inspiration - I think it's so unique to all the other collections being released right now and it is so perfect for Summer!
Wet n Wild is a cruelty free, affordable brand and I have been impressed with the products I have tried from them! I just tried an eyeshadow palette recently from the brand for the first time and was really impressed with the quality (I have scooped up a few more I was so impressed). I also tried their whole Unicorn collection last year and was super impressed with the highlighters I tried!
Happy Long Weekend Manicure Monday! I hope you all are having an amazing long weekend - the weather has been absolutely gorgeous here all weekend! Everything is finally blooming and turning green and this is my favorite weather - I love Spring! Thus, it inspired a lovely foliage manicure!
I'm not going to lie, I loooove how these nails turned out! I love the balance of peach, green and gold and how they all came together! It just feels so Springy and lovely!
A nose mask; yes, you read that correctly! I have tried a lot of different styles of masks before - eye masks, lip masks, and nose strips; but, never a nose mask before! I'm excited to try something different!
Sephora Collection Pineapple Nose Mask ~ $4.00 CAN. A pineapple bio-cellulose nose mask that perfectly hugs nose contours and tightens pores in as little as 15 minutes.
I love the idea that is a bio-cellulose mask - I have raved about this formula before on my past mask reviews before! It is comfortable and adheres to the face really well! And, I really like the idea of using a nose mask instead of nose strips that hurts the skin and rips at it as you remove it - I hate using those.
Happy Manicure Monday! Things are getting wild around here today with some leopard print nails!
I'm teaming up again this week, with Jayne from Cosmetic Proof and Trysh from Prairie Beauty Love - and this week we obviously picked Leopard Print! These ladies are amazing at nails, so make sure you check out what they came up with too!
Happy 4 Year Blogiversary! Celebrating With A Giveaway!
Today marks the 4th Blogiversary of See The World in PINK! I can't believe this little blog is already 4 years old! It's weird looking back to see where I started - basically I started just reviewing subscription boxes and the quality of products in them - then I wanted to include my love of nails and eventually my makeup and skincare obsession too!
I know I'm a tiny blog in the world of Beauty Blogs but I'm still proud of what I have able to do here - I have put out content that I'm proud of, I have expanded my beauty knowledge, and I have worked with so many amazing brands and tried so many amazing products!
I like to use this opportunity to say thank you to all my readers/followers and host a little giveaway! I'm always so thankful and appreciative that people stop by and read my blog and I always hope you enjoy what you see! Thanks for supporting See The World in PINK!
Happy Friday everyone! What a week it has been - the whole family here has been super duper sick so our week has been filled with that! It has been pretty miserable around here actually; but, hopefully we are all on the mend and this weekend we can rest up and feel better!
My palette of the week for April 30 - May 4 was a customizable Buxom palette. So, I ordered this palette almost a year and a half ago from Sephora when they had a crazy deal on - you picked 6 shadows and the palette for $20. But, I haven't actually used this palette since I picked it up! Embarrassing, I know.... So, I thought I should try it right away and see if I like it or not!
Made To Recreate with Schwarzkopf Professional Hair Products!
If you haven't noticed on here, I keep my hair pretty basic! My hair is just really thin and straight; but, that does not mean that it easy to style. In my opinion, it actually makes it harder to style. My hair does not hold a curl and takes a fair bit of effort to get to do anything!
I was impressed with the products I tried from Schwarzkopf Professional, especially their hairsprays that actually worked for my hair!
Wet n Wild Rose in the Air Color Icon Eyeshadow 10 Pan Palette - Swatches, Makeup Look and Review!
These new Color Icon 10 pan eyeshadow palettes were crazy hyped up when they were released in December, and I have been waiting impatiently to get my hands on them! They were so hard to find in Calgary, that as soon as I found them online, I scooped them up right away!
I'm slowly collecting all the palette to try and review; but, I had to start with the Rose in the Air palette because it was by far the most talked about (it looks so much like the Anastasia Beverly Hills Modern Renaissance palette) - it is gorgeous!
Happy Monday everyone! I just saw the Pandas that are here at the Calgary Zoo and all I want is everything PANDA right now! So yes, we are doing Panda nails this week!
How cute are these are these Panda Pop water nail decals from PearlPlanet?! I loooove the cartoon pandas so much!
Smashbox Camera Ready BB Cream SPF 35 in Light ~ sample shown (full size is $50.00 CAN). A multitasking, tinted BB cream that merges makeup and skincare in one step.
I have this in light and it was a little too light for me so I mixed it to lighten other foundations - on it's own, it wasn't the best formula for me.
Happy Saturday everyone! Hope you all had a great week! I'm still trying to work out a good balance with my new work life - I still think I'm struggling to find a new routine; but, I will figure it out eventually!
Eeeek - so exciting you guys! The Calgary Zoo finally has pandas and I went this morning to see them! The Panda Passage was only open today and this past week to members, and if you are patiently waiting, it opens to the public on Monday!
April 2018 Boxycharm - Unboxing, Swatches, Review, and Full Make-up Look!
For the past boxes, every subscriber generally receives the same products, with 1 or 2 items that have a few variations. Boxycharm did recently announce that that they are expanding their personalization, so I think from here on out, we will see even more variations with boxes - for example, this month you would receive 1 of 5 different ColourPop palettes, plus a few variations of other products.
Lush Twilight Body Spray ~ $29.95 CAN. When you want to feel really cozy, safe and at peace, spritz this heavenly blend of lavender and tonka all over. With the same scent as Twilight Bath Bomb and Sleepy Body Lotion, you can now wear this sweet, sleep-inducing perfume in layers. Don't be afraid to spray generously: skin-softening glycerin makes our body sprays gentle on your skin. Sleep soundly, sweetheart.
This is a recent purchase; but, it is absolutely amazing! I use this more so of a linen spray than a body spray - but I have used it as both for the same purpose. This is amazing for bedtime! I spray one mist of this on my bed or pajamas and then cozy in to bed! I have never had a problem falling asleep, but more so having a restful sleep is a bit of a problem - between the early teething mornings, baby monitor light in my face, hubby work shift work, the list goes on! But, this just really helps me relax and sleep really restfully. It smells nice and light - just like the Sleepy lotion, which I love!

On A Mission! 'Everything's Gonna Be Okay' Star Kayla Cromer Hopes 'To Get Rid Of The Stigmas' Surrounding Autistic Actors
By:Morning Honey Staff
Actress Kayla Cromer has big goals.
The star landed her first main role in a series when she was cast in Freeform's comedy Everything's Gonna Be Okay. Cromer, who's on the autism spectrum, plays Matilda, a character with the same disorder, but Cromer's determined to "get rid of the stigmas in Hollywood."
"The biggest thing for me is proving that I can book different roles," she explained to PEOPLE. "I didn't see characters like me on TV growing up. I would have been really happy to see it more."
"Autism doesn't define me," she stated. "I hope to open more doors for people in the disability community. And I'm so excited for what the future has in store."
A post shared by Kayla Cromer (@kaylacromerofficial)

"There are still so many stories that need to be told in Hollywood," she added. "The face of the world is ever changing and the industry needs to keep up."
The blonde beauty was diagnosed with dyslexia, ADD and dyscalculia as a kid, which made it hard for her to not only learn in school, but to also make friends.
"I felt like an outsider. I was always the last to finish in class. And I wanted so badly to fit into social circles at school, but friends and parties were few," she recalled. "I won't say the word, but I've also been called R-E-T-A-R-D. People are still viewed by labels."
She caught the acting bug after watching Pirates of the Caribbean, which stars Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightley, both of whom have dyslexia.
"They've never let their disabilities stop them," she noted. "That just wowed me."
But aside from expanding her resume — the actress gushed it's her "dream" to be in a Marvel movie and have a guest role on Law & Order: SVU — Cromer is more than proud to represent the autism community on screen.
"It's amazing, it's such an honor," she told The Post. "I take being a role model very seriously."
"Definitely my favorite part of playing Matilda is that there are so many ways to play her," she shared. "And having fans see themselves in those scenes — my [messages on social media] are constantly blowing up with fans saying positive things about her."

HANDELINGEN (ACTS) is a project including a book, containing four choreographies of obsessive-compulsive behaviour in the dance language Labanotation, and the performance of these choreographies.
An outsider may find no logic in what exactly could be the reason for the repeated, introvert movements someone suffering from obsessive-compulsive disorder has to perform; these compulsory acts seem without meaning, yet they have a clear function and are very precise. From a distance these compulsory movements appear to be the enactment of a secret choreography.
The publication HANDELINGEN (ACTS) consists of transcriptions of four such movements or compulsive rituals of a person with OCD, 'Anne'. As a way to open up and allow others to envision an enclosed, very private experience world in which someone like Anne seems imprisoned, I translated these movements into the universal, objective symbols of the dance language Labanotation. This way a very private and idiosyncratic experience of self and time becomes suddenly communicable, through the medium of dance.


As most of you know we acquired an SE3 whist at Billing last year. Not in the best condition but too cheap to turn down. It was covered in tree sap, parking dents and a few rusty bits to say the least but it had potential lol!!
After spending a full day polishing she looked quite presentable from a distance!!
When we got home we started to strip the car ready for restoration. One black bag full of pine needles was removed from the interior, engine bay and the boot!
Once the interior was removed Steva set about the dents and rust!
We have now decided to make a job of the old girl so we have 2 new genuine rear quarters to fit and have managed to find a brand new genuine roof skin!
And we have now bought another SE3 that were going to use for spares!
So how longs this one going to take you then 3 4 5 years?

Depends how busy the Powder Coaters are.
Steva dropped the SE3 off at the body shop today! Looking forward to seeing some progress on her ill update as I get pics!!
Ready for her make over!
Here is a quick update. Rear quarters removed. Inner arches as expected needed repaired.
Graeme and the boys set about making new inner arches!!
No they came off really easy. Graeme had them off in a couple of hours. He's the boy lol.
Oh my days. Hats off to you!

Census Bureau Adapts Operations to Ensure Everyone Is Counted
As the U.S. Census Bureau continues to monitor the impacts COVID-19 has on 2020 Census operations, changes to operations are being deployed to ensure the safety of staff and the public while maximizing the number of households that respond on their own to the 2020 Census.
"We are taking steps and adapting our operations to make sure everyone is counted, while keeping everyone safe," said Census Bureau Director Dr. Steven Dillingham. "Our commitment to a complete and accurate 2020 Census is absolute. In this challenging environment, we are deploying these tactics to make sure we reach every household in every community. If you haven't responded, the time to respond is now!
Responding to the 2020 Census online, on paper, by phone, or in person with a census taker, helps secure vital resources for your community."
We're sharing some key points from Director Dillingham's August 3, 2020 statement below.
Statement from U.S. Census Bureau Director Steven Dillingham:
Delivering a Complete and Accurate 2020 Census Count
Complete Count: A robust field data collection operation will ensure we receive responses from households that have not yet self-responded to the 2020 Census.
We will improve the speed of our count without sacrificing completeness. As part of our revised plan, we will conduct additional training sessions and provide awards to enumerators in recognition of those who maximize hours worked. We will also keep phone and tablet computer devices for enumeration in use for the maximum time possible.
We will end field data collection by September 30, 2020. Self-response options will also close on that date to permit the commencement of data processing. Under this plan, the Census Bureau intends to meet a similar level of household responses as collected in prior censuses, including outreach to hard-to-count communities.
Accurate Data and Efficient Processing: Once we have the data from self-response and field data collection in our secure systems, we plan to review it for completeness and accuracy, streamline its processing, and prioritize apportionment counts to meet the statutory deadline. In addition, we plan to increase our staff to ensure operations are running at full capacity.
Flexible Design: Our operation remains adaptable and additional resources will help speed our work. The Census Bureau will continue to analyze data and key metrics from its field work to ensure that our operations are agile and on target for meeting our statutory delivery dates. Of course, we recognize that events can still occur that no one can control, such as additional complications from severe weather or other natural disasters.
Health and Safety: We will continue to prioritize the health and safety of our workforce and the public. Our staff will continue to follow Federal, state, and local guidance, including providing appropriate safety trainings and personal protective equipment to field staff.
The Census Bureau continues its work on meeting the requirements of Executive Order 13880 issued July 11, 2019 and the Presidential Memorandum issued July 21, 2020. A team of experts are examining methodologies and options to be employed for this purpose. The collection and use of pertinent administrative data continues.
We are committed to a complete and accurate 2020 Census. To date, 76.5% of housing units have been accounted for in the 2020 Census, with 12.1% counted by census takers and other field data collection operations, and 64.4% of housing units responding online, by phone or by mail. Building on our successful and innovative internet response option, the dedicated women and men of the Census Bureau, including our temporary workforce deploying in communities across the country in upcoming weeks, will work diligently to achieve an accurate count.
We appreciate the support of our hundreds of thousands of community-based, business, state, local and tribal partners contributing to these efforts across our Nation. The 2020 Census belongs to us all. If you know someone who has not yet responded, please encourage them to do so today online at 2020census.gov, over the phone, or by mail.
Help us spread the word. Connect with us!
About the 2020 Census
The U.S. Constitution mandates a census of the population every 10 years. The 2020 Census counts everyone who lives in the U.S. on April 1, 2020. Census statistics help determine the number of seats each state holds in the U.S. House of Representatives and how billions of dollars in federal funds will be allocated by state, local, and federal lawmakers every year for the next 10 years.

Guitar World Interviews, Interview, Music July 14, 2016
Doobie Brothers Pat Simmons and Tom Johnston Talk Gear and Classic Tracks
Photo by: Kelly Swift
Over the course of their 40-plus-year history, the Doobie Brothers have been delivering their distinct brand of roots-based, harmony-laden, guitar-driven rock to eager fans old and new.
As a whole, the band has amassed more than 48 million in album sales to go along with a pair of Number 1 songs and four Grammys. Classic rock guitar aficionados have long known—and no doubt played—many of the riffs from the band's arsenal of hits, including "China Grove," "Black Water," "Long Train Runnin'" and "Listen to the Music."
The Doobies took a five-year hiatus in the early Eighties, only to return with a reunion album, Cycles, in 1989. They've been touring and making music ever since.
The Doobie Brothers' touring lineup—which is on the road with Journey this summer—includes Pat Simmons (guitar/vocals), Tom Johnston (guitar/vocals), John McFee (guitars/fiddle/vocals), Bill Payne (keyboards), Marc Russo (saxophone), Ed Toth (drums), John Cowan (bass/vocals) and Tony Pia (drums). I recently caught up with Simmons and Johnston to talk about the music, guitars and more.
This is actually the first time the Doobie Brothers have toured with Journey. How has it been going?
Simmons: Really good. When you get out on the road, you never know what it's going to be like, but they're all such great guys. It's been just like family.
Johnston: There have been full houses and the crowds have been very receptive. It's been a great tour all around.
Bill Payne of Little Feat contributed keyboards on nearly every Doobie Brothers album and is now touring with the band. How did your relationship with him begin?
Simmons: Our producer at Warner Brothers, Ted Templeman, had done a Little Feat album and was working on ours [Toulouse Street]. I remember we were in cutting songs and Ted wanted to try some keyboards on a few tracks. He said he had this great keyboard player and when he brought in Bill, we all just flipped. He was so amazing. Bill came out occasionally to play in the early days and I tried several times over the years to get him to join the band, but he was always busy with Little Feat. Finally last year, he was substituting for our old keyboard player who had left for another gig. As usual, I said, "God I wish you could stick around"—and this time he said, "Well, as a matter of fact…" [laughs]. That was it!
What makes the music of the Doobies so timeless and special?
Johnston: It really depends on what your age range is. At some point in your life, the tunes may have meant something to you. In other cases, they're songs you can sing along with and make you feel good. We've been lucky to have written tunes that have lasted and are still getting played today.
Simmons: For sure, it's the songs. More than anything else in our culture, music is one of those things that brings back recall from your past. You don't get to relive every minute but when you hear a song, you think about where you were or what you were doing when you first heard it. It's a continual process and really keeps artists alive in people's memories. It's an all around association that's not just about the music or the artist. It's about people lives and how they all intermingle.

Clayton Thorson Placed on Inactive List
Anthony Miller
Photo via Twitter (@USFLGamblers)
Houston Gamblers starting quarterback Clayton Thorson was placed on the inactive list after suffering an elbow injury last week.
The team made the announcement Thursday morning on Twitter as he was the only player announced to be transferred to the inactive/injured reserve roster.
Roster Updates:
Transferred to inactive/injured reserve roster:
• QB Clayton Thorson
— Houston Gamblers (@USFLGamblers) June 2, 2022
Thorson has been the starting quarterback for all seven games this season for Houston. So far on the season, he has completed 57% of his passes for 987 yards along with ten touchdowns and seven interceptions. He has also added 71 yards and a touchdown on the ground. Going into week eight, he was the league leader in touchdowns and was sacked the least amount among quarterbacks who started every game with four.
Thorson got off to a rocky start in the season with inconsistent play, inaccurate throws, and turnovers that plagued Houston in many games. After throwing four interceptions in the first two weeks, he started to perform better with just three picks in the last five weeks. His completion percentage has improved as he has completed 72.8% of his passes in the last two weeks alone.
In last week's 35-24 loss to the Philadelphia Stars, Thorson took a hit on his elbow in the second quarter that knocked him out for the rest of the game. Fans could see his elbow wrapped up for the remainder of the game. Kenji Bahar replaced him the rest of the way. Bahar finished the game completing ten of 13 passes for 101 yards adding a touchdown and two turnovers in the loss.
It appears going forward, Bahar is in line to take over as the starter for at least this weekend's Sunday contest against the Tampa Bay Bandits. Former Kentucky quarterback Terry Wilson signed onto the team last week and was inactive for the game against the Stars. Wilson should get the backup job to help support Bahar.
Fans can expect a different type of offense with Bahar taking over. The mobile quarterback has already shown that he can make all the passes in the pocket when given protection from the offensive line. His running skills were not showcased as much last week, but expect more RPOs and play-action calls to be made to utilize Bahar's legs.

Footballer 'felt scared after threats from rival fans' moments before allegedly knocking down 11 teenagers
Lee Taylor, who denies dangerous driving as well as assault charges, told jurors he didn't hear the screams of his alleged victims because his stereo was 'too loud'

A football player has denied mowing down 11 young rival supporters in his car after they taunted him by calling him "fatty".
Lee Taylor is accused of using his BMW as a "weapon" and deliberately ploughing into a group of boys aged as young as 14 after his side lost 5-0 in the local football match in Bridgend.
The 36-year-old told Newport Crown Court said he felt scared after trying break up a confrontation between a young Margam Football Club teammate and around 15-20 teenage supporters of rivals Cornelly United outside their changing rooms.
Taylor told jurors he was trying to escape the group of boys when he jumped in his car - and said he did not hear their screams because his car stereo was playing too loud.
He said: "I said 'Look lads, if there's going to be a fight, it's one-on-one'. The mood was intense.
"The boys said to me, 'We'll batter you. F*** off fatty."
Taylor said some of the group followed him to his car, before one jumped on his bonnet and began punching his windscreen as he tried to leave the car park.
"I felt scared that the boys were going to get me," he added.
"I can't really remember what happened after that."
Footballer accused of 'mowing kids down like skittles' in BMW following match: the trial opening
The court had previously heard Taylor revved his engine moments before driving straight at the young boys on April 19 and knocking them over like "skittles at a bowling alley".
Prosecuting counsel Christopher Rees said some boys were thrown up into the air, while one managed to hold on to Taylor's bonnet and punch his windscreen - saying it was only by "sheer good fortune" that the only injuries sustained were cuts and bruises.
During cross examination, Mr Rees asked the defendant: "Are you saying that when you got back home, you had no idea you had collided with 11 of those young boys who were outside the changing rooms?"
Mr Taylor answered: "Not until the police arrested me."
Mr Rees then asked Taylor if he had heard the boys' "screams" after driving into them, to which Taylor replied: "No. I had my radio on loud. I was listening to dance music."
Taylor was then asked why he failed to call police after the incident if he believed the youths had attacked him, to which he replied: "I wouldn't phone and drive."
Taylor, 36, from Sandfields in Port Talbot, denies one count of dangerous driving, 11 counts of attempting to cause grievous bodily harm, and alternatives of assault occasioning actual bodily harm.
Newport Crown Court
