# Pied Piper of Lovers

Pied Piper of Lovers, published in 1935, is Lawrence Durrell's first novel. The novel is in large part autobiographical and focuses on the protagonist's childhood in India and maturation in London. It is followed by Panic Spring, which partly continues the actions of its characters.

## Plot summary

Walsh Clifton is an Anglo-Indian born of an interracial couple. His mother dies during childbirth in the opening scenes of the novel. He is raised in India by his father, John Clifton, and his Aunt Brenda. Walsh is torn between his strong ties to India and his position as a colonial. He appears most comfortable around Indian characters, though they are not thoroughly developed in the novel, and he is regularly discomfited by representatives of European culture and Christianity in particular. He develops a sense of superiority over several Indian characters, typically echoing other European characters, but these feelings are regularly thwarted, often in tandem with challenges to traditional European notions of masculinity. This is compounded by Walsh's increasing awareness of his mortality, symbolized by the human ankle bone he sees in a pyre and his grandmother's morbid fixation on death.
Walsh is sent "home" to England for his education by his father, where he is again caught in a conflict between being English or Indian. The former is often associated with paternal and masculine identity, while the latter is frequently tied to maternal and feminine identity. This portion of the novel is largely concerned with his schoolboy experiences, his developing sexuality, and the eventual death of his father, who has remained in India. The protagonist has homosexual experiences, significant dream sequences, and comments on his wide readings.
The final portion of the novel consists of a bohemian stage in Walsh's life, set in Soho and outside London. He earns his living on his inheritance and by composing jazz music. Walsh ultimately rejects this lifestyle and concludes the novel with his first love, Ruth, who is terminally ill. She is diagnosed by the same doctor who delivered him and witnessed his mother's death.

## The Scene

The novel is set in Burma, India, London, and non-specific rural locations in coastal England. The most significant set-pieces describe rural India, coastal England, and London at night.

# Lonely Too Long

"Lonely Too Long" is a song written by Bill Rice, Sharon Vaughn and Mike Lawler, and recorded by American country music artist Patty Loveless. It was released in August 1996 as the third single from her eight album, The Trouble with the Truth (1996). It charted for 20 weeks on the US Billboard Hot Country Singles and Tracks chart, reaching No. 1 during the week of November 16, 1996.
The song was originally recorded by Doug Stone, whose version was never released.

## Critical reception

Reviews of the song were positive. Larry Flick from Billboard noted that Loveless' voice "exudes a variety of emotion on this well-written tune". Wendy Newcomer from Cash Box wrote, "Loveless’ delicate explanation of “the morning after” is as inviting and seductive as the night before in “Lonely Too Long”. “Well good morning/Tell me how did you sleep last night/You’re still smiling/So we must have done something right...” With a voice as honest and forthcoming and Loveless’, listeners will find it hard to turn her away."

On March 23, 2023, at 1:38 p.m. local time (UTC+03:00), a kamikaze drone allegedly of Iranian origin struck a coalition base at Abu Hajar Airport near Rmelan, Al-Hasakah Governorate in northeastern Syria. As a response, The US military carried out a series of attacks using F-15 Fighters at the direction of President Joe Biden. On 24 March 2023, two retaliatory strikes at near oil and gas fields known as Conoco in the vicinity of Deir Ezzor by multiple rockets and at Green Village (US military base) by three drones targeted US and coalition forces.

## Attacks

On March 23, 2023, at 1:38 p.m. local time (UTC+03:00), a kamikaze drone allegedly of Iranian origin struck a coalition base at Abu Hajar Airport near Rmelan, al-Hasakah Governorate in northeastern Syria, killing one United States contractor and injuring five servicemen and second contractor. The New York Times reported, US officials said the main air defense system at the base was "not fully operational" at the time of Thursday's Drone Strike.
In retaliation, U.S. President Joe Biden authorized a response with an airstrike on IRGC-linked targets, including a weapons warehouse in the Harabish neighborhood in Deir ez-Zor, and military posts in the al-Mayadin and Abu Kamal countryside, killing 14 people including nine Syrians, according to SOHR.
On 24 March, 10 rockets were launched at the Green Village near al-Omar oil field which injured another American serviceman. By afternoon, another rocket attack targeted US forces near the oil and gas fields of Conoco, east of Deir ez-Zor. On 30 March, the Pentagon revealed that twelve American were wounded in total with six U.S. troops in Syria suffering traumatic brain injuries due to the two attacks by Iran-backed militias.
A little-known militant group known as Liwa Al-Ghaliboun (The Brigade of Those who Prevail) claimed responsibility for the initial drone attack, although some observers believe the group to simply be a front group for a larger Iranian-backed group or the IRGC.

## Reaction and aftermath

On 27 March, the White House said that the attacks would not trigger a U.S. withdrawal from its nearly eight-year-long deployment in Syria. on 23 March 2023, United States Central Command commander Michael Kurilla said in his speech to House Committee on Armed Services that today Iran has grown its military power exponentially compared to five years ago and claimed Iranian-backed groups have struck 78 times on US troops in Syria since January 2021. Meanwhile, the Syrian foreign ministry condemned the attacks and stated that Washington lied about where it had targeted and pledged to "end the American occupation" in Syria. Iran's foreign ministry accused the U.S. forces of targeting "civilian sites".
As of 13 April, US personnel wounded in the clashes reached at least 25, including troops diagnosed with traumatic brain injury.
# Cheeger bound

In mathematics, the Cheeger bound is a bound of the second largest eigenvalue of the transition matrix of a finite-state, discrete-time, reversible stationary Markov chain. It can be seen as a special case of Cheeger inequalities in expander graphs.
Let $X$ be a finite set and let $K(x,y)$ be the transition probability for a reversible Markov chain on $X$. Assume this chain has stationary distribution $\pi$.
Define
    $Q(x,y)=\pi (x)K(x,y)$
and for $A,B\subset X$ define
    $Q(A\times B)=\sum _{x\in A,y\in B}Q(x,y).$
Define the constant $\Phi$ as
    $\Phi =\min _{S\subset X,\pi (S)\leq {\frac {1}{2}}}{\frac {Q(S\times S^{c})}{\pi (S)}}.$
The operator $K,$ acting on the space of functions from $|X|$ to $\mathbb {R}$, defined by
    $(K\phi )(x)=\sum _{y}K(x,y)\phi (y)$
has eigenvalues $\lambda _{1}\geq \lambda _{2}\geq \cdots \geq \lambda _{n}$. It is known that $\lambda _{1}=1$. The Cheeger bound is a bound on the second largest eigenvalue $\lambda _{2}$.
Theorem (Cheeger bound):
    $1-2\Phi \leq \lambda _{2}\leq 1-{\frac {\Phi ^{2}}{2}}.$
# Research online, purchase offline

Research online, purchase offline (ROPO) (also research online, buy offline, online-to-store, reverse showrooming, or webrooming), is a modern trend in buying behaviour where customers research relevant product information to qualify their buying decision, before they actually decide to buy their favourite product in the local store.
The ROPO effect allows the advertiser to calculate their overall return on investment (ROI) more precisely, by multiplying their online sales with the O2S-factor. The result is the offline revenue which is influenced by the Online marketing investments. ROPO is often equated with Click and Collect, that is, the process of online reservation and subsequent pick-up of the product at the store. Both are segments of Multichannel marketing. According to a 2011 Google report 80 percent of all offline buyers research online, before they buy a product in a local store. Furthermore, in high item value industries ROPO already makes a significant share of total sales. This was also acknowledged by an analysis of the German retail association and PricewaterhouseCoopers.
Its opposite is showrooming: researching a product in a physical store before buying it online.

## Economic Effect

Some sources claim that ROPO may be more common than the showroom effect. Brick-and-mortar stores can use ROPO to combat the negative effects of showrooming, such as by offering in-store discounts, employing knowledgeable staff, or free delivery on store pickups.

# Chouf massacres (1977)

Mainly between March 16, 1977 and March 30, 1977 (with other attacks occurring in mid-August) a series of massacres on Christian civilians took place in the Chouf region during the Lebanese Civil War. The massacres were mostly committed by Druze gunmen of the People's Liberation Army after the assassination of Druze leader Kamal Jumblatt. Many victims were mutilated and women were reportedly sexually abused.

## Background

Long-standing enemies since the 1860s, the Druze have always been at odds with the Maronites, and acts of barbarism on both sides have bedevilled their ability to co-exist for centuries past. On 16 March 1977, the PSP leader Kamal Jumblatt was ambushed and killed in his car near Baakline in the Chouf by unidentified gunmen (allegedly, fighters from the pro-Syrian faction of the Syrian Social Nationalist Party, acting in collusion with the Syrian military commander of the Mount Lebanon region, Colonel Ibrahim Houeijy); believing that the perpetrators were members of the predominately Christian Phalangist Kataeb Regulatory Forces (KRF) or Tigers Militias, PLF militiamen extracted swift retribution on the local Maronite population living in the intermixed towns and villages around Baakline. Despite the hasty dispatch on 17 March of 4,000 Syrian Army troops from the Arab Deterrent Force (ADF) to keep the peace in the Chouf, it is estimated that about 177–250 Maronite villagers were killed in reprisal actions at the towns of Moukhtara and Barouk, and at the villages of Mazraat el-Chouf, Maaser el-Chouf, Botmeh, Kfar Nabrakh, Machghara and Brih (St George's Church attack).

## Attacks
### Mazraat el-Chouf

On March 17, Druze militiamen committed killing sprees in Mazraat el-Chouf killing 52 people in the village.

### Maaser el-Chouf

In Maaser el-Chouf, 9 people were killed during a funeral and 3 others who were fleeing along with 9 people from a neighboring village called Machghara. As a result 25,000 Christians fled the area, mostly moving to East Beirut.

### Brih

On August 21, Druze leftist gunmen attacked St George's Church during prayers on Sunday with automatic gunfire inside and around the church killing 13 people. The Christian population fled the village. However, current construction projects have taken place to repair abandoned Christian houses with the aim of repopulating the Christian households of Brih.

### Other attacks

Other killings took place in Barouk (28 killed), Botmeh (9 killed), Kfarnabrakh (6 killed), Fraydis (6 killed), as well as in Baadaran, Shurit, and Ain-Zhalta. Many victims were reported to have been mutilated and women sexually abused.

## Aftermath

Between 1975 and 1977, after numerous successive attacks terrorizing the population, around 260,000 Christians (60% of the Christian population in the Chouf) fled their villages mostly moving to Beirut and its surrounding suburbs.
# Lepraria gelida

Lepraria gelida is a species of leprose lichen in the family Stereocaulaceae. It occurs in Greenland, Svalbard and the Russian Arctic islands, where it grows on soil, mosses and sometimes lichens, and rarely on bark.

## Taxonomy

Lepraria gelida was described by the lichenologists Tor Tønsberg and Mikhail Zhurbenko in 2006. The holotype specimen was collected by Tønsberg on 5 July 2002 in Svalbard, Spitsbergen, southeast of Wijdefjorden, in the west-facing foothills of Finlandsveggen. Found at an elevation of 20–30 m, it was growing on soil in Dryas octopetala heath. The specimen, designated Tønsberg 31049, is deposited at the herbarium of the University Museum of Bergen (BG).

## Description

Lepraria gelida forms a leprose thallus that ranges from powdery to cottony in texture. The margin varies from diffuse to delimited, and lobes are usually absent. The medulla is present and thick, rarely thin, appearing white in colour. The thallus surface sometimes lacks soredia in places, exposing the medulla. When present, the soredia are abundant to sparse, varying in size but mostly measuring 65–100 (sometimes up to 200) micrometres in diameter. Projecting hyphae are present and range from short to medium in length. The species is chemically characterised by containing both alectorialic and porphyrilic acids. Spot tests show K+ (yellow or orange), C−, KC+ (red), and Pd+ (yellow or orange).

### Similar species

Lepraria gelida closely resembles Lepraria chileana, as both species have an aggregate thallus and produce similar secondary metabolites. However, L. gelida is distinguished by its alpina-type aggregate thallus and larger granules, measuring 65–100(–200) μm in diameter, whereas L. chileana has a caesioalba-type aggregate thallus with smaller granules (27.5–40 μm). Their distributions also differ, as L. chileana only occurs in Chile.

## Habitat and distribution

The species grows on soil, mosses and sometimes lichens, rarely occurring on bark. It is found in open habitats and has been recorded from Greenland, Svalbard and the Russian Arctic islands near the Taimyr peninsula.

# Joe Rogan Questions Everything

Joe Rogan Questions Everything is an American television series that premiered on SyFy in 2013. The series followed entertainer and stand-up comedian Joe Rogan, as well as co-host Duncan Trussell, as they investigated claims about paranormal and mysterious subjects like Bigfoot, psychic ability and UFOs. The show was cancelled after one six-episode season.

## Premise

The show was described as a "comedy/reality/debunking series" as well as a "visual podcast show", and was similar in content to Rogan's podcast: "if you've ever listened to Rogan's podcast, The Joe Rogan Experience, you know the kind of stuff this show will be focusing on". It explored topics like paranormal experiences and encounters. The show's form was based on a presentation of the topic following up with interviews with experts and members of the public that claimed anecdotal evidence for the cases. Various field research trips were also done in an attempt to gather evidence. In the episode "RoboSapien" Joe Rogan interviews Ray Kurzweil with comedian Duncan Trussell appearing as a co-host.
Through the series, Joe Rogan took the position of a skeptic, with the Mansfield News-Journal saying that he "brings a helpful blend — sometimes skeptical, often hopeful and open-minded". The show was loosely based on conversations and topics from the Joe Rogan Experience, with some video out-takes. Some topic presentations and general discussions were set in a podcast studio. Joe Rogan Questions Everything was produced by A. Smith & Co.Productions.

## Reception

Joe Rogan Questions Everything was SyFy's most watched reality premiere in more than five months, averaging 1.3 million total viewers. It received mixed reviews from critics.
