The EVA-8M is a compact GNSS module, offering high sensitivity, minimal power consumption and superior anti-spoofing and anti-jamming.
The EVA-8M standard precision GNSS module features the reliable performance of the u-blox 8 positioning engine (receiving GPS, GLONASS, QZSS and SBAS signals). The EVA-8M delivers high sensitivity in the ultra compact EVA form factor.
The EVA-8M supports advanced Power Save Modes and provides message integrity protection, geofencing, spoofing detection, and odometer functionalities and is an ideal solution for cost and space-sensitive applications. It is easy to design-in, only requiring an external GNSS antenna in most applications. The layout of the EVA-8M is especially designed to ease the customer's design and limit near field interferences, since RF and digital domains are kept separated.
EVA-8M uses a crystal oscillator for lower system costs. Like other u-blox GNSS modules, the EVA-8M uses components selected for functioning reliably in the field over the full operating temperature range.
The module combines a high level of integration capability with flexible connectivity options in a miniature package. This makes it perfectly suited for industrial and massmarket end products with strict size and cost requirements. The DDC (I²C compliant) interface provides connectivity and enables synergies with most u-blox cellular modules.
The EVK-8/EVK-M8 download includes u-center, which is an interactive tool for configuration, testing, visualization and data analysis of positioning chips and modules. u-center provides useful assistance during all phases of a system integration project.


A onetime Somali refugee and the daughter of Palestinian immigrants shared the historic distinction yesterday of becoming the first two Muslim women elected to the US Congress.
Both women -- Ilhan Omar, 37, and Rashida Tlaib, 42 -- are Democrats from the Midwest and outspoken advocates of minority communities that have found themselves in the sights of US President Donald Trump's anti-immigrant policies.
Tlaib's victory was no suprise. She ran unopposed in a congressional district that stretches from Detroit to Dearborn, Michigan.
"I'm Muslim and black," the hijab-wearing Omar said in a recent magazine interview.
"I decided to run because I was one of many people I knew who really wanted to demonstrate what representative democracies are supposed to be," she said.
Omar fled Somalia's civil war with her parents at the age of eight and spent four years at a refugee camp in Kenya.
She won a seat in the state's legislature in 2016, becoming the first Somali-American lawmaker in the country.
Before that, she had worked as a community organizer, a policy wonk for city leaders in Minneapolis, and as a leader in her local chapter of the NAACP -- the African-American civil rights group.
She opposes Trump's restrictive immigration policies, supports a universal health care system, and wants to abolish US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), which has conducted deportation raids.
Rashida Tlaib is the Detroit-born daughter of Palestinian immigrants -- the eldest of 14 children.
A fighter who once heckled US President Donald Trump during a 2016 campaign stop in Detroit, she says she didn't run to make history as Muslim.
"I ran because of injustices and because of my boys, who are questioning their (Muslim) identity and whether they belong," Tlaib said in an US television interview in August.
"I've never been one to stand on the sidelines."
With no Republican challenger in the race, Tlaib's election yesterday became a formality.
The seat she won is in a predominantly African American congressional district with few Muslim voters.
"It just shows how incredibly wonderful our country can be," she said.

1991 Recipient: Neville (Pat) Duke – Lumby
Since Neville (Pat) Duke settled in Lumby in 1927, there is little in the village that had not benefitted from his involvement.
Fire protection, sewage facilities, a community skating arena or village incorporation; if it was good for Lumby, Pat Duke was there for his community.
From 1951 to 1986, he was mayor for all but two years and one of the longest-serving mayors in British Columbia. He worked on countless boards and commissions, and served as president of the local chamber of commerce.
He worked in many capacities for the Union of B.C. Municipalities and the Federation of Canadian Municipalities. He was a strong supporter of minor sports. Lumby residents named him their citizen of the year in 1982.
His devotion and contributions to the area, most often with little or no reward, earned him the local moniker of 'Mr. Lumby'.
His contributions also extended beyond the town, to the North Okanagan Regional District and Hospital District and to the Okanagan Mainline Municipal Association.

Clark scores 19, No. 8 UCLA rolls past Norfolk State 86-56

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Jaylen Clark had 19 points and nine rebounds as eighth-ranked UCLA rolled to an 86-56 victory over Norfolk State on Monday night.
The Bruins (3-0) had six players score in double figures — including all five starters — and shot 57.1% from the field as they led throughout.
Coach Mick Cronin was pleased with his team's improvement from last Friday's win over Long Beach State.
"I wasn't happy with our passing and shot selection in that game. We should be a team that shoots a high percentage all the time with our talent level," Cronin said. "Our passing was much better tonight and we got the ball inside. We wore them down as the game went along."
Kris Bankston scored 17 points and Gilbert Brown added 13 for Norfolk State, which lost to a top-10 team for the second straight game. The Spartans (2-2) fell 87-70 at No. 5 Baylor last Friday in a rematch of an NCAA Tournament matchup last March.
Clark made five 3-pointers as the Bruins went 11 of 25 from behind the arc.
"I feel like half of it is confidence, but the real answer is just work," said Clark, who is averaging 17.3 points through three games. "I'm shooting every day, getting up 700 shots on the gun. Just seeing the ball go through the hoop over time gives me confidence. It also helps when I'm playing with people like Jaime (Jaquez Jr.) and Tyger (Campbell) who get double-teamed consistently, because I'm getting free looks off."
Jaquez scored 12 points. Campbell, Amari Bailey and David Singleton had 11 apiece, and Adem Bona added 10.
The Bruins had a 46-33 halftime lead before breaking it wide open with a 23-4 run in the second half. Clark had six points on a pair of 3-pointers, while Bona added five and Bailey and Jaquez scored four apiece.
UCLA's largest lead was 34 with less than six minutes remaining.
"We stunk. We just didn't have it today," Norfolk State coach Robert Jones said. "I think that some players in the locker room rested a little bit on our laurels that we played well against Baylor, because that really wasn't a 17-point game. They thought it was gonna be easier, instead of realizing that UCLA was on full alert because of how we played."
Norfolk State: Joe Bryant Jr., who came into the game averaging 17.3 points, was held to four on 2-of-8 shooting from the floor. It was the lowest-scoring game for the fifth-year guard and 2022 MEAC Men's Player of the Year since he had three points in a loss to Gonzaga in the 2021 NCAA Tournament.
UCLA: The Bruins have won their three games by an average of 23.3 points and have trailed for only 5:55.
Norfolk State: Plays at Monmouth on Thursday.
UCLA: Faces No. 19 Illinois in the Continental Tire Main Event in Las Vegas on Friday.

Toyota Pakistan Shuts Down Car Production for the 3rd time this year.
By Abdul Raffay on
September 24, 2019 - Like us now!
Indus Motors Company (IMC), the automobile manufacturing giant has stopped car manufacturing for half of September, that is a total of 15 days of non-productivity. An official at IMC is stated to have said "half of the current month is off."
This isn't the first time that the automobile giant had to shut off its production cycle, according to an un-named official at IMC, the company has faced similar situation back in July with 8 days of Non-Production as well as 11 to 12 days of drought in August.
Apparently, there are several reasons to account for these droughts in production; from the imposition of the Federal Exercise Duty and the devaluation of the rupee, custom duty has also increased on various car parts. This has caused car prices to spike up to an extreme level of unaffordability by many.
According to sources, the IMC plant and countrywide dealership network has seen a decrease in purchase which has resulted in Toyota Cars piling up, numbering up to 3000. For the month of September the Toyota Plant has been operating at a 50% capacity.
The production and sales of Toyota Fortuner for the month of July and August plunged down to 232 and 162 units from 484 and 424 units of last year during the same months. This means that Toyota has been sustaining a blow of 52% and 62% respectively.
For the months of July and August the Toyota Corolla production and sales have dropped to
5,308 units and 3,708 units respectively from last year's 8,804 and 8,770 units in the same months, incurring a loss of 40% and 57% respectively.
Meanwhile the Toyota Hilux production dropped down to 793 units and 716 units for the months of July and August from 1,383 and 1,292 units during the same monthly period pf last year, suffering a percentage loss of 43% and 45% respectively.

Campus conundrums: clashes and collaborations
This book chapter examines the challenges faced by Australian universities as they navigate issues around free speech on campuses and research collaboration with the People's Republic of China (PRC). The University of Queensland (UQ) serves as a case in point, with debates around protests and counter-protests supported by the PRC's Consul-General in Brisbane raising questions around free speech and foreign interference by the PRC government in Australian universities. Similar questions were raised with regard to UQ's collaboration in research, particularly in science and technology, with institutions in the PRC. These developments have parallels in the US, where there has been heightened concerns around intellectual property protection and national security implications of engagement with the PRC in universities. It is likely that such concerns will continue to intensify in both the US and Australia, with research collaboration in particular carrying both significant benefits and risks for Australia's economic and national security interests. Decisions on engagement with the PRC in the university sector will necessitate clarity and focus on Australia's national interests and values.

This is a quick introduction to using Swift on OSG Connect. Swift is a parallel scripting language that lets you easily incorporate workflows using different applications and convert them into a simple script file. The Swift runtime takes this script and tries to run as much of the workflow in parallel as possible. Once you finish using the exercises on this page you will be able to create workflows in Swift.
The introductory exercises use two different mock science applications that act as simple stand-ins for real since applications.
The simulation.sh script is a simple substitute for a scientific simulation application. It generates and prints a set of one or more random integers in the range 0-29,999 as controlled by its optional arguments.
The first swift script, p1.swift, runs simulate.sh to generate a single random number. It writes the number to a file.
# Generate "analysis" file containing average of all "simulations"
file stats<"output/stats.out">;            # Final output file: average of all "simulations"

The weather is being nice these last days in Tonga (with one exception, but more about that in a different post). Yesterday morning I saw the clearest sky in a long time so I had to go out to the beach and shoot some photos. The moon is a couple of days before full moon. I went shooting just before moonset and til a bit afterwards. In total I think I spent 3 hours at the beach glazing at this amazingly beautiful and clear sky, I just could not get enough from it. All the following pix are taken at night, 1am-4am. Enjoy.

Q: Toggling a class after JQ animation completes I'm having problems understanding why my toggleClass inside of the function after the animate doesn't seem to trigger properly.  When looking at console, you will be able to see that the element menu is changing states, which leads me to think it is toggling both on and off quickly.  Once the scroll animation completes, toggleClass works as to be expected.
My script code is as follows:
  $(document).ready(function() {

    // initToggle();
    stickyNav();
    toggleMenu();

  });

  function stickyNav() {

      var navOffset = $('.nav-bar').offset().top;

      $(window).scroll(function() {
          var nav = $('.nav-bar');
          var scroll = $(window).scrollTop();

          if (scroll >= navOffset) {
              nav.addClass('fixed');
          } else {
              nav.removeClass('fixed');
          }
      });
  }

  function toggleMenu() {
      $('.nav-menu').click(function() {
          if (!$('.nav-bar').hasClass('fixed')) {
              $('html, body').animate({scrollTop: $('.nav-bar').offset().top}, '800',
              function() {
                  $('.menu').toggleClass('active');
                  $('body').toggleClass('no-scroll');
              });
          } else {
              $('.menu').toggleClass('active');
              $('body').toggleClass('no-scroll');
          }
      });
  }

HERE is a "working" codepen of my code which better displays the issue I'm having.

A: @showdev linked to a similar question relating to using promise().
Got the script to work by changing it to the following:
function toggleMenu() {
    $('.nav-menu').click(function() {
        if (!$('.nav-bar').hasClass('fixed')) {
            $('html, body').animate({scrollTop: $('.nav-bar').offset().top}, '800').promise().done(function() {
                $('.menu').toggleClass('active');
                $('body').toggleClass('no-scroll');
            });
        } else {
            $('.menu').toggleClass('active');
            $('body').toggleClass('no-scroll');
        }

Vincenzo Gioberti - philosopher and politician
Writings helped bring about unification of Italy
Vincenzo Gioberti, who was a major
philosophical influence on Italians
Vincenzo Gioberti, a philosopher regarded as one of the key figures in the Italian unification, was born on this day in 1801 in Turin.
He became prime minister of Sardinia-Piedmont in December 1848, albeit for only two months.
Although he was an associate of the republican revolutionary Giuseppe Mazzini - and was arrested and then exiled as a result - he did not agree with Mazzini's opposition to the monarchy and was not an advocate of violence.
However, he was staunchly in favour of a united Italy, particularly because of his conviction that Italians represented a superior race, intellectually and morally, and that by pulling together as one nation they could assert a profound influence on civilisation that would benefit the world.
Gioberti's book Del Primato civile e morale degli Italiani (The civic and moral primacy of the Italians), which detailed examples from history to underline his theories about Italian supremacy, is said to have helped give momentum to the unification campaign.
Born into a family of modest means, Gioberti studied diligently, obtained the baccalaureate in theology and in 1825 was ordained a priest. He became professor of theology at the University of Turin and a court chaplain in 1831.
Gioberti was arrested over his association with
revolutionaries such as Giuseppe Mazzini
However, his ties with a secret society known as the Cavalieri della libertà, his links with Mazzini and his sympathies with republican views were treated with suspicion within the church and he was arrested in 1833 on trumped up charges of conspiracy. After a four-month prison term he was forced into exile, first in Paris, then Brussels, where he lived from 1834 to 1845, teaching and writing.
It was in Brussels that Gioberti wrote Del Primato civile e morale degli Italiani, in which he also proposed his plan for the unification of the Italian people, based on co-operation between Turin and Rome.
Gioberti's vision was an alliance between what he saw as the spiritual greatness of the Holy See with the secular greatness of the Royal House of Savoy.
He proposed that the princes of the Italian states govern themselves at local level but that the states should bind themselves together in a federation under the leadership of the Pope in order to have a common military, foreign policy, overseas colonies and a customs union.
He regarded this federation as more realistic than Mazzini's revolutionary republican plan and on his return to Italy made a series of tours in Liguria, Tuscany, and Rome in which he was able to swing more Italians behind his philosophies than Mazzini had ever reached.
The cover of the book that was
banned from the Vatican Library
However, Gioberti seldom had the pope on his side at the same time as the monarchy and ultimately abandoned federalism in favour of a unitary programme.
An amnesty permitted Gioberti to return to Turin in 1847. Appointed president of the newly constituted Chamber of Deputies, he was also premier briefly from 1848 to 1849 until his proposal for military intervention in Tuscany in support of the deposed Grand Duke Leopold II lost him support and forced his resignation.
He retired from politics and in 1851 wrote a book Del rinnovamento civile d'Italia (On the Civil Renovation of Italy), which foresaw an Italy in which the power of the Pope was diminished. It was banned by the Vatican.
Gioberti died in Paris in 1852.
The monument to Gioberti in Piazza Carignano
A statue of Vincenzo Gioberti, created in 1859 by Giovanni Albertoni, stands on a monument erected in front of the magnificent Baroque Palazzo Carignano in the square of the same name, adjoining Palazzo Castello and just a short distance from the Royal palaces in the heart of Turin. The square became symbolic of Italy's Risorgimento, as did the Ristorante del Cambio, established in the 18th century, where the united Italy's first prime minister, Camillo Benso Cavour, and its first king, Vittorio Emmanuele II, were frequent diners.

The Palazzo Carignano, a royal palace commissioned in the 17th century and designed by the architect Guarino Guarini, now houses the Museo nazionale del Risorgimento italiano (the National Museum of the Risorgimento), the largest and most important of 23 museums across Italy dedicated to the history of the unification. Originally housed in the Mole Antonelliana, from which it moved in 1938, its exhibits include weapons, flags, uniforms, printed and written documents, among them the original manuscript of the song Il Canto degli Italiani, dated November 10, 1847 by Goffredo Mameli, now the Italian national anthem.

The "Osteopath D.O." title testifies that your therapist attended a 5 years study programm and ensures an optimal treatment.
An Osteopath can treat people of all ages, everyone from infants to the elderly.
The manipulations used in treatment are gentle and adapted to the age and needs of each patient.
Osteopathy is a way of detecting, treating and preventing health problems by moving, stretching and massaging a person's muscles and joints. Instead of treating specific symptoms, osteopaths' approach is to treat a person as a whole.
By using touch and physical handling, Osteopaths work on restoring the body's state of balance, by increasing the mobility of joints, relieving muscle tension, enhancing the blood and nerve supply to tissues, and helping the body's own healing mechanisms.
Who can benefit from Osteopathy ?
Simply call the practice 26.38.98.87 to get an appointment or email us.
Bring any relevant documents such as last medical exams (X-rays, CT, MRI, blood test…).
In order to create your file, don't forget your CNS (national health) registration number.
Depending on the type of treatment, we recommend you comfortable clothing (leggings, shorts …). Concerns are often not limited to the painful area. Thus, it is sometimes necessary to check the balance of your pelvis to improve cervical tensions.
How long last a session ?
Depending on the problem to be treated, a session lasts between 30 and 60 minutes.
How does the session go ?
Then, he will have a look at your posture, test different movements and elaborate an osteopathic diagnosis. The treatment will follow in accordance with that.
Even if Osteopathy is now officially recognized as a medical profession in Luxembourg, you will not get any money back from the CNS (National Health).
Some private insurance may pay osteopathy sessions (such as DKV, Le Foyer, Axa …) depending on your contract.


Small and medium size hotels oftentimes find it difficult to run their business and maintain their own housekeeping and utility staff. There are times they're pressured in complying with different government safety and cleanliness regulations and legislation, and to avoid penalty and conflicts for non-compliance, they outsource some of their housekeeping and utility tasks including hiring affordable rubbish removal in Sydney and go about their business without having to worry on non-compliance. Here's how hotels and accommodations benefit from hiring waste management solutions.
Hotels and accommodations contribute much to the waste of entire Sydney Metropolitan, and waste management becomes a problem for small and medium size hotels and accommodation especially when operation budget is limited. With an all in one package from a rubbish removal, they can enjoy regular waste collection and disposal anytime. All wastes and garbage are collected and disposed right away and at a convenient time for hotels and without disturbing or annoying their guests. Besides prompt and clean waste removal service, collectors and workers are polite and courteous and also work discreetly. They collect waste and garbage while keeping hotel premises clean and orderly.
Waste disposal isn't just disposal of waste and garbage. Some waste and garbage collected from hotels may contain toxins that may harm people's health and the environment. Hotels that need to remove from their premises contaminated waste need specialized disposal management and solution, and with a rubbish removal that is expert on disposal of contaminated waste and garbage, hotels need not to worry about non-compliance to government green waste management and disposal. Most of Sydney waste management companies are certified by the government and have the technical expertise in handling and disposing of toxic waste. Only certain waste removal in Sydney with specialization on toxic waste disposal are given permits and license in disposal of commercial waste including debris from demolitions, soil and bricks and items like flood-contaminated carpets and bed mattresses.
Hotels that are affected by floods and fire need assistance in cleaning up their premises and they get professional cleaning and waste disposal with a partner domestic waste removal in Sydney. All flood affected waste and garbage are collected and disposed properly and correctly, leaving hotel premises and hotels can easily declare "business as usual" even right after a difficult situation.
Free from any infection-spreading bacteria and germs.
Hotels and accommodations cannot afford to have uncollected waste and foul-smelling garbage in any given time and with an affordable waste management and solutions in Sydney, they can enjoy clean and sweet smelling premises.
Wastes and garbage should be disposed on a daily basis most especially in hotels and accommodations. To avail with this service, obtain the services of http://www.rightawayrubbishremovals.com.au/.


It's bin day to-day in Dublin. Three bins are outside our house. The grey bin, the green bin and the brown bin. So during the week some waste is put in the landfill. All the waste we want to get rid of. Now the other two bins can be recycled. All the cardboard and paper items and the compost like vegetable peels.
Wouldn't it be great if we had a dedicated bin day for our waseful thoughts. We decide that the "you are not good enough" thought is really wasteful and bin it. Get rid ot if. Put it in the waste bin because it's just a waste of time, a waste of space in a beautiful mind, a wasteful,useless thought. But, you could recycle that "you know you could do that thing you have always wanted to" thought. You could really use that thought, drive that home, put that in our mind and recycle it, reuse it. Similar to the recycling bin outside our house, you could send it off to your subconscious and allow it to be recycled into something new. You might even use the idea of the compost bin, that old stuff, that's used to help bring about nurturing and growth in the garden.
1. Bin the wasteful thought for good.
2. Recycle the good thought, send it off to your deeper mind with thoughts of growth.
3. Use the recycled stuff to nurture your dreams/ideas/goals.
As you recycle your household waste, work on your head, get rid of the wasteful thoughts and start to nurture your ideas about yourself. Nature has a way of sorting things out if your nurture it. Bin, Recycle, Reuse.
If I can help you or a friend or relative, let me know. You will see my contact details here on my website.

\section{Introduction}
Inflation is today the main theoretical framework to describe  the early Universe. In thirty years of existence,  inflation, in contrast with earlier competitors,   has survived the confrontation with  cosmological data, which have tremendously improved over the years.  Indeed, the fluctuations of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) had not yet been measured when inflation was invented, whereas they give us today  a remarkable   picture of  the cosmological perturbations in the early Universe.  In the future, one can hope that even more precise observations will allow us to test  inflation further, and also to discriminate between the many different possible realizations of inflation.

This contribution discusses the basic ideas underlying inflation (many more details  can be found in e.g. \cite{cargese}) and some more recent results.

\section{Cosmological evolution}
Modern cosmology is based on the theory of general relativity, according to which our Universe is described by a four-dimensional
geometry $g_{\mu\nu}$ that  satisfies Einstein's equations
\begin{equation}
\label{einstein}
G_{\mu\nu}\equiv R_{\mu\nu}-\frac12 R \, g_{\mu\nu}=8\pi G \, T_{\mu\nu},
\end{equation}
where $R_{\mu\nu}$ is the Ricci tensor, $R\equiv g^{\mu\nu}R_{\mu\nu}$ the scalar curvature and $T_{\mu\nu}$ the energy-momentum tensor of the matter distribution.

The basic assumption of cosmology, which has
been confirmed by observations so far,
is to consider, as a first approximation, the universe as
being homogeneous and
isotropic. This leads to  the FLRW (Friedmann-Lema\^itre-Robertson-Walker) spacetimes, with  metric
\begin{equation}
ds^2=-dt^2+a^2(t)\left[{dr^2\over{1-\kappa r^2}}+
r^2\left(d\theta^2+\sin^2\theta\,  d\phi^2\right)\right],
\label{RW}
\end{equation}
where $\kappa=0,-1,1$ determines the curvature of spatial
hypersurfaces: respectively flat, elliptic or hyperbolic.
Moreover, the  matter content compatible with  homogeneity
and isotropy is necessarily characterized by an energy-momentum tensor of the
form
\begin{equation}
\label{T}
T^{\mu}_{\  \nu}={\rm Diag}\left[-\rho(t), P(t),  P(t), P(t)\right]\,
\end{equation}
where $\rho$ corresponds to an energy density and $P$ to a pressure.

Substituting the  metric (\ref{RW})  and the energy-momentum tensor (\ref{T})
into Einstein's equations (\ref{einstein}) gives the
Friedmann equations\index{Friedmann equations},
\begin{eqnarray}
H^2\equiv\left({\dot a\over a}\right)^2 = {8\pi G \over 3}\rho- {\kappa\over a^2},\qquad
{\ddot a\over a} = -{4\pi G\over 3}\left(\rho+3 P\right)\, ,
\label{friedmann}
\end{eqnarray}
which govern the time evolution of the scale factor $a(t)$.
There are several types of matter in the Universe, in particular pressureless matter (baryonic matter and the mysterious dark matter) and a gas of cosmological photons,  characterized by a temperature $T$, which scales like $1/a(t)$. Going backwards in time, radiation dominates, with  higher and higher temperatures in the early Universe.

From an observational point of view, the two most important events in cosmological history are : i) nucleosynthesis ($T\sim 0.1$ MeV),  when the lightest nuclei were formed;  ii) last scattering ($T\sim 3000$ K), when the Universe became quasi-transparent (due to the sudden suppression of interactions between photons and matter, as nuclei and electrons combined into neutral atoms). Photons that were emitted at that epoch are observed  in the CMB radiation, discovered in 1964 by Penzias and Wilson. In 1992, the COBE satellite detected its anisotropies at a level of $10^{ -5}$.
Since then, these fluctuations have been measured with increasing precision, lately by the WMAP satellite and in the near future, by the Planck satellite. One of the main goals of primordial cosmology is
to explain the origin of these primordial fluctuations.

\section{Inflation}
Inflation is a phase of accelerated expansion, i.e. $\ddot a>0$, in the early Universe.
Initially, inflation was introduced to provide an explanation for several puzzles of the standard hot Big Bang model, in particular the flatness problem (or why the present spatial geometry is so close to  Euclidean geometry) and the horizon problem (or why the CMB sky is so homogeneous on scales larger than the causal horizon at the time of last scattering, as defined in the standard Big Bang model). But it was realized, soon after, that inflation also gives a very natural explanation for the origin of primordial perturbations: they simply arise from  quantum vacuum fluctuations that got amplified when their wavelength, proportional to the scale factor, is stretched out beyond the Hubble radius $H^{-1}$.

The simplest way to get inflation is to assume the existence of a scalar field, governed by the
action
\begin{equation}
\label{action_scalar_field}
S_\phi=\int d^4x\sqrt{-g}\left(-{1\over 2}\partial^\mu\phi\partial_\mu\phi
-V(\phi)\right)\, ,
\end{equation}
where $g\equiv {\rm det} (g_{\mu\nu})$ and $V(\phi)$ is the potential of the scalar field. In a FLRW spacetime, the energy density and pressure are respectively given by
\begin{equation}
\rho={1\over 2}\dot\phi^2+V(\phi), \qquad
P={1\over 2}\dot\phi^2-V(\phi)\, .
\end{equation}
Whenever the kinetic energy is negligible with respect to the potential energy, the equation of state is effectively $P\simeq -\rho$, which leads to an acceleration, according to the second Friedmann equation in (\ref{friedmann}).
This can happen in the so-called slow-roll regime, for sufficiently flat potentials.

\section{Cosmological perturbations}
Let us now consider  the perturbations during inflation. In addition to the scalar field perturbation $\delta\phi$,
one must take into account the metric perturbations as well and introduce the (scalarly) perturbed metric
\begin{equation}
ds^2= -(1+2A)dt^2+ 2 a(t) \partial_iB\, dx^idt+
a^2(t)\left[(1-2\psi)\delta_{ij}
+2\partial_i\partial_jE\right]dx^idx^j\, .
\end{equation}
Using Einstein's equations and  coordinate freedom, it can be shown that there is in fact a single dynamical scalar degree of freedom,
\begin{equation}
Q\equiv \delta\phi+\frac{\dot\phi}{H}\psi\equiv \frac{\dot\phi}{H}{\cal R} \, .
\end{equation}
It can be seen either as a pure scalar field perturbation (in a coordinate system such that $\psi=0$) or as a pure metric perturbation ${\cal R}$ (up to the factor $\dot\phi/H$) if one chooses  the uniform scalar field hypersurfaces as constant time hypersurfaces.
Its dynamics is governed by the action
\begin{equation}
S={1\over 2}\int d\tau \, \, d^3x\, \left[{u'}^2+\partial_i u \partial ^i u
+{z''\over z}u^2\right],\qquad z\equiv a\frac{\dot\phi}{H}
\end{equation}
where it is convenient to use the new variable $u\equiv a Q$ and the conformal time $\tau$ ($d\tau=dt/a$).

Let us now quantize $u$ by following the standard procedure of quantum field theory.
One  treats $u$ as a quantum field denoted $\hat u$, which can be
expanded in Fourier space as
\index{quantization}
\begin{equation}
\label{Fourier_quantum}
\hat u (\tau, \vec x)={1\over (2\pi)^{3/2}}\int d^3k \left\{{\hat a}_{\vec k} u_k(\tau) e^{i \vec k.\vec x}
+ {\hat a}_{\vec k}^\dagger u_k^*(\tau) e^{-i \vec k.\vec x} \right\},
\end{equation}
where  the $\hat a_{\vec k}^\dagger$ and  $\hat a_{\vec k}$ are
 creation and annihilation operators that  satisfy the
usual commutation rules.
In the slow-roll regime, the expansion is  quasi-de Sitter  (i.e. such that $\dot H\ll H^2$) with $a\simeq -1/H\tau$, and $z''/z\simeq a''/a\simeq 2/\tau^2$ (where $\tau$ grows from $-\infty$ to $0$).
The most natural choice for the mode function $u_k(\tau)$  is the particular solution (of the  classical equation of motion)
\begin{equation}
u_k=\sqrt{\hbar\over 2k}e^{-ik\tau }\left(1-{i\over k\tau}\right),
\label{u_k}
\end{equation}
which means that each Fourier mode is initially in the usual Minkowski vacuum, when $k|\tau|\gg 1$, i.e. when its wavelength is smaller than the Hubble radius. Later, its wavelength is stretched on super Hubble scales, i.e. $k|\tau|\ll 1$, and the mode undergoes an amplification (the last term in the parentheses blows up). The resulting power spectrum (i.e. the Fourier transform of the correlation function) is
\begin{equation}
{\cal P}_Q\equiv \frac{k^3}{2\pi^2}\frac{|u_k|^2}{a^2}\simeq \hbar \left({H\over 2\pi}\right)^2 \, ,
\qquad (k\ll aH)
\end{equation}
which corresponds to a curvature fluctuation ${\cal P}_{\cal R}^{1/2}= H^2/(2\pi \dot\phi)$ (with $\hbar=1$).

It is easy to relate these fluctuations generated {\it during} inflation to the fluctuations of ordinary matter in the subsequent radiation and matter dominated eras, by invoking a conservation law.
Indeed, the conservation of the energy-momentum tensor
for any perfect fluid, characterized by the energy density $\rho$, the pressure $p$ and the four-velocity $u^a$, leads
to the {\it exact} relation\cite{Langlois:2005ii,Langlois:2005qp}
\begin{equation}
\label{dot_zeta}
\dot\zeta_a\equiv {\cal L}_u\zeta_a=
-{\Theta\over{3(\rho+p)}}\left( \nabla_a p -
\frac{\dot p}{\dot \rho} \nabla_a\rho\right),
\end{equation}
where we have defined
\begin{equation}
 \zeta_a\equiv
\nabla_a\alpha-\frac{\dot\alpha}{\dot\rho}\nabla_a\rho, \quad \Theta=\nabla_a u^a, \quad \alpha=\frac{1}{3}\int d\tau \,
\Theta,
\end{equation}
and where a dot denotes a Lie derivative with respect to $u^a$ (which reduces to a derivative along $u^a$ for scalars,  e.g. $\dot\rho\equiv u^a\nabla_a\rho$).  The quantity $e^\alpha$ can be interpreted as an inhomogeneous generalization of the scale factor, as defined by an observer following the fluid. For linear perturbations, the identity (\ref{dot_zeta}) implies that the quantity
\begin{equation}
\zeta\equiv-\psi-\frac{H}{\dot\rho}\delta\rho
\end{equation}
is conserved on super-Hubble scales ($k\ll aH$) for adiabatic perturbations, i.e. such that $\delta p- (\dot p/\dot\rho)\delta\rho=0$. Moreover, it can be shown that $-\zeta$ coincides with ${\cal R}$ on super-Hubble scales. For single field inflation, this conservation law holds and the curvature perturbation remains unchanged until the perturbation reenters  the Hubble radius, much later during the radiation era.

\section{Beyond the simplest models}
So far, the simplest models of inflation are compatible with observational data (see \cite{WMAP}) but it is worth studying more refined models for at least two reasons. First, models inspired by high energy physics are usually more complicated than the simplest phenomenological inflationary models. Second, exploring  larger classes of inflation models and identifying their specific observational features is a useful  preparation for the interpretation of  future data. At present, two types of extensions beyond the simplest scenarios have been mainly studied: models with non standard kinetic terms and/or  with multiple  scalar fields.

Scenarios involving several scalar fields include  models with {\it multiple inflatons},  where several scalar fields affect directly the  inflationary evolution, but also models where the extra scalar field(s) plays a r\^ole only later.
In all cases, the crucial novelty is the generation during inflation of extra perturbations, usually called entropy modes, in addition to the adiabatic mode (corresponding to fluctuations along the inflation trajectory). The entropy fluctuations can be transferred into the final curvature perturbation, during or after inflation. This means that the quantities ${\cal R}$ or $\zeta$ are {\it a priori} no longer conserved in a multi-field set-up, as first pointed out in \cite{sy} (see also \cite{Lalak:2007vi}).

In some of these more sophisticated models, the primordial perturbations exhibit non-Gaussianities that could be detectable in future observations, whereas the simplest single field models predict an undetectable level of non-Gaussianities. In this context, an important observable is the three-point function or its Fourier transform, often written as
\begin{equation}
  \langle  \zeta_{{\bf k}_1} \zeta_{{\bf k}_2} \zeta_{{\bf k}_3}
\rangle
\, \equiv
\frac{6}{5}
f_{\rm NL} (k_1,k_2,k_3)\left[P_\zeta(k_1)P_\zeta(k_2)+ 2 \, {\rm perms}\,  \right](2 \pi)^3
\delta^{(3)}(\sum_i {\bf k}_i) \,
\end{equation}
where $P_\zeta(k)$ is defined by $ \langle  \zeta_{{\bf k}_1} \zeta_{{\bf k}_2}\rangle=P_\zeta(k)(2 \pi)^3 \delta^{(3)}({\bf k}_1+{\bf k}_2)$. The three-point function can be computed
 for any model of inflation by using the (non-linear) relation between the curvature perturbation $\zeta$ and the various scalar field fluctuations generated during inflation.  Intrinsic non-Gaussianities of the scalar fields, i.e. non-vanishing three-point functions for the scalar field perturbations, lead to non-Gaussianities of {\it equilateral} shape (where the signal peaks at $k_1\sim k_2\sim k_3$) whereas a non-linear (classical) relation between $\zeta$ and the scalar field fluctuations lead to non-Gaussianities of {\it local} shape (which peaks at $k_1\ll k_2, k_3$).

An analysis of   general  multi-field models with  an action of the form
\begin{equation}
\label{P}
S =  \int d^4 x \sqrt{-g}\left[\frac{R}{16\pi G}   +   P(X^{IJ},\phi^K)\right], \qquad  X^{IJ}=-\frac12 \nabla_\mu \phi^I  \nabla^\mu \phi^J\, ,
\end{equation}
where $P$ is an arbitrary function,
 can be found in \cite{lrst08b} (see also \cite{lr08} for a more restricted class of models).

An illustrative example combining both  non-Gaussianities and multi-field effects is Dirac-Born-Infeld (DBI) inflation~\cite{st,ast}, which arises from the motion of a
$D3$-brane in an internal  six-dimensional compact space, as one can encounter in the context of  string theory compactifications.  In this case, the function $P$
is given by
\begin{equation}
P=-\frac{1}{f(\phi^I)}
\left[\sqrt{{\rm det}\left(\delta^\mu_\nu+f G_{IJ}\partial^\mu\phi^I\partial_\nu^J\right)}-1\right]-V(\phi^I),
\end{equation}
where the scalar fields $\phi^I$ are directly related to the compact coordinates of the brane, and where the functions $f$ and $G_{IJ}$, which depends on the $\phi^I$, are determined by the
10-dimensional geometry (bulk forms can also be included~\cite{lrs09}).

During multi-field DBI inflation, both adiabatic and entropic modes can be generated, with  power spectra ${\cal P}_{Q_\sigma}= (H/2\pi)^2$ and
${\cal P}_{Q_s}= (H/2\pi c_s)^2$ respectively~\cite{lrst08a}.
The entropy power spectrum is  thus enhanced by its dependence on the sound speed $c_s=\sqrt{1-f\dot\sigma^2} \,  <1$, and  the final curvature is
\begin{equation}
{\cal R}=\frac{H}{\dot \sigma}\left(Q_{\sigma}+T_{ {\cal R}  {\cal S} } c_sQ_{s}\right), \qquad \dot\sigma^2\equiv G_{IJ}\dot\phi^I\dot\phi^J,
\end{equation}
where $T_{ {\cal R}  {\cal S} }$ parametrizes the transfer from entropy modes into the curvature perturbation.

By expanding the action beyond the second order, one can also determine the non-Gaussianities
generated in this class of models~\cite{lrst08a}. This leads to a bispectrum of equilateral shape with
\begin{equation}
f_{NL}^{(3)}=-\frac{35}{108}\frac{1}{c_s^2}\frac{1}{1+T^2_{{\cal R} {\cal S}} },
\end{equation}
which corresponds to the single-field result but with a suppression due to the entropy-curvature transfer. At the next order, in the trispectrum,
multi-field effects induce a shape of non-Gaussianities that differs from the single-field case~\cite{Mizuno:2009cv}.

March 15, 2019- Kohn, Swift & Graf, P.C. is currently investigating Plycem USA and Elementia USA for allegedly marketing Allura Fiber Cement Siding as being durable and lasting for 50 years when in fact, the siding is defective and requires repair and replacement within the first five years.
The companies' marketing represents that the siding meets applicable building codes and industry standards; however, it has been further alleged that the siding violates building codes and industry standards for performance and weather resistance.
Consumers have reported cracking, breaking, and deterioration of the siding as early as 3 years after the siding was installed. It has also been alleged that the companies are aware of the widespread damage caused by their defective siding, but the remedy offered for repair is entirely insufficient.
If you or someone you know has or is currently experiencing quality problems and/or defects in Allura fiber sliding, please contact us. All consultations are free of charge. You may be eligible to be included in a Class Action Lawsuit.

Playing the interesting 2048 game right inside atom.

![2048-in-atom](https://raw.github.com/void-main/atom-2048/master/2048-in-atom.gif)

## How to play
### The normal way
After installation, you can find the toggle in menu `Packages -> atom-2048`, or you can simple press `ctrl-alt-a` to start and stop the game.

Once the view is loaded as demonstrated in the gif animation above, you can play the game simply as you are in a browser. You'll see your high scores, and you can reset the game by hit `spacebar`. Go wild!

NOTE: all the directions arrows can cause the cursor move around the editor view, so they are disabled in `atom-2048`, you can use `WASD` keys or `vim` keys to move the tiles!

### boss-is-coming mode!
We all know what `boss-is-coming` mode is! :P

While playing the game, you simply hit `esc`, and everything will be gone! But don't worry, your progress is not destoryed. Wherever you feel safe, simple press `ctrl-alt-b`, and everything will show up again.  A little heads up, if you accidentally hit `ctrl-alt-a`, your progress will not be preserved, so, use carefully!

## Achievements
With the help of [achievements package](https://atom.io/packages/achievements) developed by [@rgbkrk](https://github.com/rgbkrk), you can play the game and get achievements! See the image below!
