", "\nFrom reading A on SO, lambdas are kind of problematic as templ params.

", "So you can't pass lambdas as part of a template instantiation, even with decltype. ", "But there's nothing stopping you from passing them as constructor arguments.", "\nHowever, here we run into another problem: constructor arguments are not used to deduce a template instantiation (which is why the standard library provides utilities like make_pair and make_tuple).

[ "It’s situations like this that prompt blogger Thomas Peters (@AmericanPapist) to consider attempts to “silence and marginalize” conservatives and people of faith as the number one threat to the conservative movement.", "\n\nA southern California native, Peters now resides in D.C. He grew up in a conservative Catholic household, and attended Ave Maria College in Michigan. ", "He then earned his M.A. in Theology at Sacred Heart Seminary, where he began blogging.", "\n\n“I found it a nice change of pace from my homework,” he said.", "\n\nWhat began as commentary on the Catholic Church grew political as Peters moved to the nation’s capital and started his second Master’s at the Dominican House of Studies. ", "Two years and 17,000 tweets later, he’s a seasoned blogger, writing on his American Papist blog at CatholicVote.org. ", "He’s also a speaker and political activist, making a splash in the social conservative movement.", "\n\n“Social media is essential for keeping a tight-knit online community of experts and activists,” Peters said, adding, “It’s a very immediate way to keep supporters informed.”", "\n\nAs a dedicated social conservative, Peters closely follows Steve Ertelt (@StevenErtelt) of LifeNews.com, pro-life activist Jill Stanek (@JillStanek), and the Washington Examiner’s David Freddoso (@Freddoso) and Timothy Carney (@TPCarney) for all things newsworthy.", "\n\n“I actually enjoy following a few left-wing activists because it’s important to know what both sides are thinking in real-time,” he added. ", "Among them: Daily Kos (@DailyKos), The Advocate (@TheAdvocateMag) and Amanda Marcotte (@AmandaMarcotte).", "\n\nSocial media is more than just a way to find news and self-promote, and Peters is one of a handful of conservatives who have successfully initiated and organized Twitter campaigns to get conservative issues trending. ", "During the 2012 March for Life, followers retweeted him hundreds of times.", "\n\nIn addition to blogging, Peters works at the National Organization for Marriage where he is overseeing a project to identify and encourage young activists who are pro-marriage.", "\n\nMarriage could be a big issue this year, with a number of states – like Washington and Maryland – considering legislation to legalize gay marriage. ", "Other states, including Minnesota and North Carolina, are trying to add traditional marriage to the state constitution.", "\n\nAs part of his work for NOM, Peters travels the country speaking to young people, and teaching them how to defend their views.", "\n\n“We have to work hard at understanding our own conservative principles so we are better equipped to defend and promote them,” He said.", "\n\nAnd social media is key, he noted, “It contributes to a more robust and free democracy.”", "\n\nComments\n\nComments\n\nIn their lengthy quest for public affirmation, for what they call marriage “equality” and for legitimization of their perverted and socially unacceptable lifestyle, homosexuals often ask, if not marriage, what should gay couples do when they love each other and want to enter into committed relationships, especially when marriage is the most widely used expression of love between two people? ", "So far, apparently, traditional values advocates, the conservative wing of the Republican Party, and others who oppose their sordid agenda have no answer. ", "It should first be pointed out, however, that pre-pubescent girls all over the country may idolize Justin Bieber, but we don’t hand out marriage licenses to children just because they are capable of emotional feelings. ", "Another question homosexuals often ask is, “are we to be condemned for loving?” ", "Neither society nor religious principles condemns them for loving. ", "They, like everybody else, can love anybody they want. ", "The condemnation, however, comes from engaging in sexual congress with people of their same gender. ", "Albeit a tagline coined in the War on Drugs, society has simply lost the ability – or the spine – to “just say no”, especially in the socio-moral war against sexual perversion that is progressively corrupting our country and our most sacred traditions and whose strategy, sadly, includes targeting children.", "\n\nHoping to condition a whole generation of people whose attitudes toward the practice of same sex relations, the pro-homosexual lobby wants school children to be brainwashed about homosexuals. ", "In California, they have forced it into the education system just like they have forced their way into everything else; i.e., with lawyers, a lot of noise, the help of sympathetic, naive, spineless jurists, quoting inapplicable legal predicates, ultra rich supporters funding them, and by strategically placing gays into the body politic. ", "If a subject, even a disgusting one, is tossed into the public eye long enough and often enough, LGBT seems to think it will become so commonplace it will ultimately be accepted as main stream. ", "They are also intent on investing into the school systems curricula designed to put the most favorable spin on the contributions made to society by homosexuals as though that is a magic wand for normalizing the abnormal.", "\n\nThere is no doubting that homosexuals are, first of all, people. ", "But they are people with mental aberrations manifested in their choice of sexual partners and the sexual theater in which they find themselves most comfortable. ", "People with a brain or a decent measure of skills are always able to make contributions to society, if they choose to do so. ", "However, the nature of a person’s work and/or societal contributions has very little to do with their sex lives (unless they are sex workers). ", "In other words, the contributions of people like Walt Whitman or Oscar Wilde resulted from their literary skills, not from their sexual practices, so their contributions to the literary world prove nothing and provide nothing more than a straw man argument about the value of homosexuals or homosexuality. ", "As to contributions, though, Jeffrey Dahmer was at one time an army medic, a noble profession and one in which he must have made honorable contributions. ", "But that doesn’t erase what he was beneath the surface.", "\n\nIn the interest of fair and balanced reporting, if California educators are forced by homosexual legislators or lobbyists to teach gay history and the contributions to society made by mentally abnormal people, the list should also include those who have made contributions because of, not in spite of, their sexual perversions, the substance of which is their socially detrimental behavior; e.g., openly gay soldier, Bradley Manning, who gave hundreds of thousands of secret documents to Wikileaks, putting at serious risk his country’s security, national image, and diplomatic relations with allies, because he got upset over a break up with his homosexual lover. ", "Then there is the case of Ottis Toole, a homosexual who decapitated six-year-old Adam Walsh. ", "And, if homosexuals could manage to flaunt their role models without cherry picking their ranks, they might look to a gay business man who was a war veteran, a graduate of Northwestern Business University, who rubbed elbows with the likes of First Lady, Rosalynn Carter. ", "He was financially well off, and worked tirelessly in community projects. ", "On the surface, he sounds like a model citizen and one the gay lobbyists would be proud to offer up as a role model who made significant contributions to society, but it’s doubtful the rest of the story would be revealed about him in California schools if positive spin is the central goal, because this homosexual was serial killer, John Wayne Gacy.", "\nSome research seems to indicate that, among serial killers, whose brains obviously do not function the way a normal brain does, homosexuals (whose brains likewise do not function the way a normal brain does) own a disproportionate share of such crimes compared to their representation within the total population. ", "Considering the observations of forensic pathologists, Bernard Knight (professor of forensic psychology, University of Wales) and Pekka Saukko (head of forensic medicine, University of Turku, Finland), some of the most violent and gruesome murders happen among homosexual males, so there is no surprise at the statistics concerning serial killers. ", "As another point of fact, according to the American College of Pediatricians, which cites several studies, violence among homosexual couples is two to three times more common than among married heterosexual couples. ", "Sadly, though, homosexuality as a mental condition was removed from the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of the American Psychiatric Association. ", "Until 1973, homosexuality was at the top of the list of sexual deviations (paraphilias) under Section 302 of the DSM. ", "Whether scientists removed homosexuals unilaterally or justifiably, or whether as some claim, it was a more political move that resulted from bullying, bribing, or defrauding and the APA yielded to political pressure, the net result is that the decision shot homosexuals in the foot. ", "An appropriate code is not now available to practitioners of the healing arts to diagnose or report the condition, develop a therapeutic plan, or get insurance to pay for treatment of those who want to abandon this modern plague.", "\n\nHomosexuals loathed the label medical science put on them, but then hell hates holy water. ", "Regardless, they didn’t want to think of themselves as mentally abnormal. ", "So, they decided to change the way society looked at them rather than try to abandon the practice. ", "In reality, however, we could call a skunk a rose, but that wouldn’t make it smell any sweeter. ", "Gay activists often claim that their sexual deviation is a matter of choice which can’t be treated. ", "The gay community even does its best to sugar coat their behavior by toning down descriptive terms and euphemizing homosexuality as an “alternative lifestyle.” ", "This certainly sounds less threatening and less offensive, especially considering their strategy of keeping same sex relationships in the public eye, whether through the educational system or the entertainment media. ", "The light-hearted and funny characters on Will and Grace, though, are far afield from the Andrew Cunanans in their midst.", "\n\nAnd now the 9th circuit court of appeals has ruled California’s law against same sex marriage is unconstitutional with the reasoning of the three judges seeming to be no more than judicial pandering to political correctness rather than legally sound justice. ", "The first thing American courts should have to decide in the case of gay marriage is whether marriage is a right. ", "If it is, gays might have standing to bring a case, but there would then have to be sweeping reform of marriage laws in all fifty states. ", "If marriage is not a right, then gays have no claim that denying them a marriage license is unconstitutional. ", "The gay marriage cases to date have all leaned on the 14th amendment’s equal protection clause. ", "However, Cornell University School of Law says that the equal protection clause doesn’t guarantee individual liberties; it demands equal application of the law. ", "Thus, in states in which same sex couples do not qualify for marriage licenses any more than deaf mutes qualify for pilot’s licenses, if homosexual and heterosexual same gender couples are denied marriage licenses for the same reason (that same gender couples may not marry), there is no discrimination against homosexuals. ", "Moreover, parroting Judge Vaughn Walker’s statement, the court said Prop 8 enshrines in law that same sex couples are inferior to heterosexual couples, which is a matter of conjecture more than a matter of law. ", "Nothing in California’s law said or implied anything about superiority or inferiority. ", "A blind man may not qualify for a driver’s license, but that doesn’t mean the state is discriminating against the disabled or that the applicant is inferior. ", "It is simply common sense and good judgment.", "\n\nThere is no issue of equality in respect to homosexuals and marriage. ", "Marriage is not a right. ", "If marriage was a right, then brothers and sisters or other close relatives could marry, the idea of in-breeding wouldn’t be so socially explosive, so Jerry Springer might have to find another career. ", "A fairly profitable industry could be set up for U.S. citizens to marry foreigners who had enough money to hire temporary spouses and, hence, get a leg up on immigration. ", "If there were no marriage laws regulating the practice, Mormons and Muslims would be able to have as many wives as they could manage to feed. ", "But, thankfully, marriage is regulated in many common sense ways that have nothing to do with homosexuals, sexual orientation, gender confusion, or abnormal people claiming they want to enter “committed, loving relationships” with marriage as the only avenue of approach they will accept. ", "Clearly, nobody has to be married to engage in sexual congress or to enter into loving, committed relationships and live happily ever after. ", "Free love made the pill necessary and, as it happens, made it possible. ", "For many years, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have quite publicly been living and breeding together without benefit of clergy. ", "The notion that gays want a marriage license is not likely the real issue, though. ", "What is printed on a piece of paper in a scrapbook at a very well-decorated home would more likely be a symbol of victory over morality, over the laws of God and over traditional values than a life affirming emblem. ", "But, in the final analysis, a question begging for an answer is: who benefits most from the corruption of human morals and who has been engineering that corruption for thousands of years? ", "Answer that and the roots of homosexuality may may be more transparent." ]

[ "Wednesday, April 2, 2014\n\nOn Peace Talks and Prisoner Releases\n\nOn Peace Talks and Prisoner ReleasesTom WilsonWe have come a long way from the days when Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu used to call for negotiations without preconditions. ", "Now it has simply become expected that Israel must demonstrate “good will” by purchasing the presence of the Palestinians at the negotiating table with round after round of painful concessions. ", "And few things must be more painful for Israelis than having to see those who murdered their loved ones walk free. ", "It flies in the face of the most basic notions about justice and, of course, it’s tactically suicidal: those well-schooled in terror go free to resume their activities; those contemplating the path of terrorism know that in the event they are captured they will likely be released in a prisoner exchange eventually. ", "Yet, the Israeli government has set a dangerous precedent and throwing on the breaks now may prove easier said than done.", "The Palestinians have recently issued a new demand. ", "Either Israel lets 1,000 Palestinian prisoners walk free or Palestinian negotiators will walk from the current round of peace talks. ", "The previous nine months of fruitless negotiations were paid for by the Israelis agreeing to release 104 Palestinian security prisoners. ", "These were to be released in stages so as to ensure that the Palestinians wouldn’t simply take the prisoners and run. ", "At each stage the Palestinians would be obliged to continue with the negotiations and the next batch of terrorists would be released. ", "But the deadline for the final installment of convicted criminals came and went this weekend. ", "With Palestinian Authority head Mahmoud Abbas refusing to carry on with the talks, Israel announced that this last prisoner release would not be made.", "This was hardly an unfair decision. ", "With the Palestinians insisting the talks were over and that they were going back to the United Nations to pursue statehood there, the Israelis had nothing to gain from setting more terrorists loose. ", "Yet, not releasing the prisoners was only ever going to invite more condemnation, despite the fact that threatening not to do so is arguably Israel’s way of attempting to keep talks open.", "Indeed, it has been reported that the State Department was not at all pleased about the prospect of Israel backing out on the prisoner release. ", "By all accounts U.S. officials have warned Israel that if the Palestinians leave talks then America will not be able to stop them from going to the UN. ", "In reality there is much that the U.S. could do to keep Abbas from leaving the talks in the first place, if only it chose to. ", "The Palestinian Authority is in a dire financial mess; the threat of withholding the large amounts of U.S. funding the PA relies on to function would be one way of tying the Palestinians to the peace table.", "Yet remarkably, it seems that the Israeli government has actually come forward with still more concessions of its own. ", "This time the Israelis are offering 400 Palestinian terrorists in return for six more months of negotiations. ", "That’s quite an inflation from the 104 terrorists agreed upon for nine months of talks. ", "No doubt sensing that he is gaining the upper hand in all of this, Abbas has now done what tyrants always do when they sense they’re being appeased: he has demanded more. ", "This time, says Abbas, Israel will have to release 1,000 prisoners to renew Palestinian participation in peace talks.", "That last demand should be a signal to America and the world that the Palestinians are not remotely serious about the negotiation process. ", "Not that any such signal should be needed by now. ", "Perhaps the international community would be forced to note this if the Israelis weren’t sending out their own signal, one that only serves to undermine their ability to hold out against such unreasonableness on the part of the Palestinians. ", "By upping the offer to 400, Israel is indicating that it is perfectly reasonable that large numbers of murderers should be released in return for halfhearted Palestinian participation in talks.

[ "Huawei has unveiled its new Mate 9 flagship smartphone and while there’s a lot to like about it, it is also the first handset to run the company’s new EMUI 5 interface. ", "Back at IFA, Huawei teased to us that EMUI 5 would be its most refreshed interface ever and with the Mate 9 now official, let’s take a look at what’s new (and what’s the same) in EMUI 5.", "\n\nLaunch breakdown:\n\nA refreshed interface?", "\n\nWithout doubt, EMUI has proven to be a very polarizing interface, with Huawei often adding its own flourishes to Android that many users weren’t overly keen on. ", "In EMUI 5, this is mostly no longer the case and while it looks visually similar to previous versions, there are some fundamental differences.", "\n\nThe biggest of these is the presence of an app drawer and while it’s disabled by default, enabling it is as simple as flipping a switch in the settings menu. ", "With that being said, even the default homescreen (where all the apps are present in a similar way to the iPhone) seems more polished than on previous devices and there is definitely less lag than previous versions as well.", "\n\nOf course, there are parts of the interface that are similar to previous iterations and a customisable homescreen including transitions and settings is still present. ", "Yet, all of Huawei’s apps seem to have undergone the same ideological transformation, with a focus on nature and the azure with white and blue interfaces interspersed with gentle, organic animations. ", "Unlike previous years where the animations would be overly apparent, they have been tweaked in EMUI 5 to only show when time is not of the essence; for example, a cute lockscreen animation might look good at first but after you unlock your phone 20 times in a day, it’ll quickly grow irritating.", "\n\nEMUI 5 also brings a new miss-touch feature that is somewhat indicative of things to come from the Chinese OEM. ", "Huawei’s message is clear; sometimes a touch on your screen isn’t necessarily intentional and the miss-touch feature seems to mostly be able to distinguish real interactions from accidental taps. ", "The curved nature of the Porsche Design Mate 9 is definitely likely to be a key factor behind developing this and from first impressions with the regular Mate 9 at least, it seems to be a well thought-out feature that does what it says on the tin.", "\n\nNougat, Nougat, Nougat\n\nBased on Android Nougat, EMUI 5 also brings a lot of the native Android features relatively untouched, with multi-window, quick app switching and Google Now on tap all present. ", "Multi-window has been ‘tweaked’ with the addition of Knock Knock support allowing you to swipe across the screen using your finger to launch multi-window, but like the rest of the Knock Knock feature set, this isn’t the most reliable way to do so.", "\n\nAlongside this, Huawei has also kept the quick settings shortcuts from Nougat, essentially allowing you to access any of the deeper menus behind the quick settings by pressing and holding. ", "This is one of their key examples of where they’ve used the features present in core Android natively – rather than re-engineer them – to deliver on their philosophy of a simplified interface where you can accomplish over 50% of core tasks in 2 clicks and 92% within 3 clicks.", "\n\nUnder the hood changes\n\nVisually there’s not a lot different but EMUI 5 does bring with it several changes under the hood that Huawei hopes will allow it to transcend being merely an Android interface. ", "Using on-device machine learning, EMUI 5 monitors resource usage in a bid to ensure the out-of-the-box fast experience continues regardless of how much you’ve used your phone.", "\n\nThe algorithm learns from the way you use your phone (in this case, the Mate 9) in a bid to ensure there’s always enough of the right hardware resources for each app you want to use. ", "It achieves this using a combination of smart CPU management based on most recently used apps, storage defragmentation – Huawei has replaced the native Android file system with F2FS which has a much smaller fail rate – memory compression and GPU acceleration thanks to native Vulkan support.", "\n\nWhat else can we say about EMUI 5?", "\n\nThrough several sessions in China, one thing became apparent and it’s that EMUI 5 is the first interface from Huawei where the company’s various divisions have actually liaised together. ", "In previous years, the interface was developed mostly in China and then rolled out to other markets with little concern for local preferences but this seems to be a thing of the past.", "\n\nThis year’s EMUI has had input from teams across the globe, including teams at design and research centres in San Francisco, London, India, Paris and Moscow. ", "Furthermore, Huawei’s implementation of an interface goes beyond the visual elements of Android with roughly 1000 people dedicated to Linux-based development and a global workforce where roughly 10% have some understanding of kernel levels.", "\n\nFor those wondering, EMUI 5 will be coming to other devices with the update planned for the Mate 8, P9 and P9 Plus early next year followed by the honor 8 and other Honor branded devices in Q2 2017. ", "Hardware limitations aside – such as a dual lens camera etc – most devices getting EMUI 5 should get the full feature set and for those not set to get the update, there will be an updated version of EMUI 4.1 that will bring some of these changes. ", "The P8 and P8 Lite are likely to be two devices that aren’t updated to EMUI 5 but instead get a tweaked version of EMUI 4.1, with some of the functionality from the latest version.", "\n\nEMUI 5 – our initial verdict\n\nHuawei has gone to great lengths to explain that while they do use Android as a reference point, they have found areas they believe that need to be improved on and this philosophy is one of the less obvious changes. ", "In previous years, we’ve seen the company attempt to redesign (and redefine even) what Android is with its interface but, whether it’s working with Google on the Nexus 6P last year, or understanding what customers want, EMUI 5 seems to be a break away from this tradition.", "\n\nInstead, Huawei seems to have taken the core Android experience and merely tweaked elements (while also adding its own flourishes) while also adding its own design flourishes. ", "The result is an experience that although visually similar to previous versions, marks a big shift for the company. ", "The chances of a Huawei handset running stock Android may be minimal but the direction that EMUI is headed in suggests that maybe, the call for this is a thing of the past.", "\n\nWe’ll have a full review of the Huawei Mate 9 in the coming days so stay tuned on more from Huawei’s latest flagship and its new-yet-same User Interface. ", "In the meantime, what do you think of EMUI 5? ", "Let us know your views in the comments below!" ]

[ "High-pressure accumulator injection systems, also known as common rail injection systems, are distinguished from conventional injection systems in that the injection pressure can be generated independent of the engine speed. ", "The decoupling of the pressure generation and injection is achieved with the aid of an accumulator, in which fuel is stored under high pressure. ", "The high pressure in the accumulator is created by means of a high-pressure pump. ", "Fuel from the accumulator is used to supply an injection valve and also a control chamber, by means of which a valve needle of the injection valve is controlled. ", "A control piston is also fitted in the control chamber in such a way that it can slide, with one end of the piston being connected to the valve needle and pressure being applied to its other end in the control chamber. ", "The pressure in the control chamber is supplied from the pressure in the accumulator via a connecting line. ", "The control chamber is connected to a valve to release the pressure. ", "Furthermore, an inlet throttle is positioned between the accumulator and control chamber and an outlet throttle between the control chamber and valve to guarantee a predetermined pressure build-up or reduction in the control chamber after the closing or opening of the valve respectively.", "\nThe outlet throttle is designed so that the cavitation transition point, i.e. the backpressure, which if undershot means that the flow through the throttle can no longer be increased due to cavitation and therefore a backpressure is felt downstream of the throttle regardless of the direction of flow, is as high as possible. ", "This causes cavitation to occur at the outlet throttle with the valve open (low backpressure) and flow through the throttle, and thus movement of the control piston becomes independent of the cross-sectional area of flow of the valve.", "\nThe predetermined pressure build-up/pressure reduction in the control chamber creates a controlled movement of the control piston and the valve needle connected to it. ", "Controlled in this case means that the time point of the start of movement when opening and closing, and also the speed of movement itself, can be predetermined by the size of the cross-sectional areas of the control piston and valve needle to which pressure is admitted as well as by the fuel pressure in the accumulator and the flow characteristics of the throttles, particularly flow resistance and cavitation point. ", "The reproducible injection of defined amounts of fuel with high precision thus demands a high degree of accuracy in the manufacture of control pistons and throttles. ", "The relatively large cross-sectional areas of control pistons can be very accurately manufactured but the production of throttles with low production tolerances on the other hand demands very high expenditure, as explained in the following.", "\nThe throttles used for injection devices according to the prior art are in the form of cylindrical cross-sectional convergences in the flow path between the control chamber and accumulator or between the control chamber and valve. ", "Such conventional throttles typically have a length of approximately 1 mm and a typical throttle passage diameter of 0.3 mm. ", "The throttle passage is, for example, produced by drilling or by electrochemical erosion. ", "The length of the throttle itself is of minor significance with regard to the flow properties of the throttle. ", "The flow properties of the throttles are, however, not only determined by the diameter of the throttle passage, but also by any taper, the shape of inlet and outlet edges and the surface finish of the throttle passage. ", "The setting of the flow resistance, that determines the function of the throttle, to the set value is achieved by rounding the inlet edges using hydroerosion. ", "Throttles with fine tolerances and uniform quality with regard to flow parameters can thus be produced only at high cost. ", "In practice, the throttle manufacturer must also take account of a correspondingly high rejection rate." ]

", "The attempt has been initially turned to identify systematic design procedures for [*state-feedback*]{} stabilization of specific classes of nonlinear systems. ", "To this respect it is worth mentioning the research current focused on back-stepping design procedures for lower triangular nonlinear systems with [@KoKo] for the global case and [@TP] for the semiglobal case. ", "Then, the attention of the researchers shifted to the identification of partial-state and [*output feedback*]{} stabilization algorithms mainly addressed in a semi-global sense due to intrinsic limitations characterizing this class of problems (see [@Daya]). ", "Within the number of research directions undertaken in this field, a special role has been played by [*nonlinear separation principles*]{} based on the design of an explicit full state observer (see [@TPSCL]). ", "The main limitation of this approach is, thought, the lack of a guaranteed level of robustness of the resulting controller mainly due to the absence of a well-established theory of robust nonlinear state observers. ", "Furthermore, full state observability of the controlled plant is not, in principle, a necessary condition for output feedback stabilization. ", "A step forward to overcome these limitations has been taken in [@TP] with the definition of Uniform Completely Observable (UCO) state-feedback control law, namely a stabilizing state dependent law which can be expressed as nonlinear function of the control input and output and their time derivatives. ", "In this case the issue is not to estimate the full-state but rather to reproduce directly the stabilizing law through the estimation of the input-output derivatives. ", "This, in [@TP], has been achieved by a mix of back-stepping and partial-state observation techniques yielding an output feedback stabilizer which is [*robust*]{} in the measure in which the UCO function does not depend on the uncertainties and the UCO control law is [*vanishing*]{} on the desired asymptotic attractor. ", "Furthermore the [*asymptotic*]{} features of the resulting closed-loop system are subjected to the requirement that the initial state-feedback UCO-based closed-loop system is locally exponential stable. ", "Practical stability must be accepted otherwise (see also [@Celani] at this regard). ", "The latter limitation may be overtaken with the design of a local nonlinear observer in the spirit of [@TPSCL] by resuming again nonlinear separation principles. ", "However, so-doing, the same limitations outlined before come out.\\\nExponential stability assumptions are recurrent in several contexts of nonlinear control literature while studying asymptotic behaviors of nonlinear systems. ", "Backstepping ([@Freeman], [@TP]), in which the backstepped control law is usually required to exponentially stabilize the controlled dynamics, singular perturbation ([@OReilly], [@TeMoNe03]), in which the so-called boundary layer system is required to posses an exponentially stable attractor, averaging ([@Khalil], [@TeMoNe03]), in which exponential stability of the so-called averaged system is needed, stabilization by output feedback ([@IsBook2], [@TP]), in which hyperbolic minimum-phase assumptions are usually required, are just a few contexts, involving problems of both synthesis and analysis of nonlinear systems, where the possibility of concluding asymptotic (and not only practical) results relies upon requirements that certain dynamics fulfill exponential stability assumptions. ", "A particular mention must be done for the design of output feedback stabilizers for nonlinear systems which can be written in so-called normal form (see [@IsBook2]). ", "In this context exponential stability of the so-called zero dynamics (that is, hyperbolic zero dynamics) is very often a crucial pre-requisite if one is willing to address robust output feedback stabilization by means of [*locally Lipschitz*]{} regulators.\\\nIn this paper we present a tool to handle the presence of not necessarily hyperbolic zero dynamics in the stabilization of nonlinear systems by output feedback. ", "As particular application, the tool is then used to extend the main “UCO” results presented in [@TP] by, so doing, overtaking the obstacle of exponential stability in the backstepping procedure and output derivatives observer design. ", "More specifically, by means of the mathematical tools which have been developed in a context of nonlinear output regulation (see [@SICON]), [@BI03]), we show how the design of a dynamic output feedback control law which [*asymptotically*]{} stabilizes a compact attractor can be obtained by starting from a UCO state-feedback control law which does not necessarily stabilize in exponential way the desired asymptotic attractor and which is not necessarily vanishing on it. ", "We will show that these limitations can be removed by means of design techniques aiming to robustly get rid of interconnections terms between nonlinear dynamics arising in the stability analysis which are not vanishing on the desired asymptotic attractor and which, as a consequence, can not be dominated only by means of high-gain. ", "This will lead to identify a dynamic back-stepping and an extended partial-state observer algorithms which embed solution techniques typical of internal model-based design.\\\nThis work is organized as follows. ", "In the next section the framework and the general result is given. ", "Then, Section 3 discusses the proposed framework and solution by properly framing the result in the existing literature. ", "Section 4, articulated in three subsections, is focused on the application of the proposed tool in the UCO context presented in [@TP].

In this respect the first crucial property required to the regulator is to be able to reproduce, through the input $v$, the uncertain coupling term $q(w,x,0)$ by providing a not necessarily zero steady-state control input. ", "This issue is intimately connected to arguments which are usually addressed in the output regulation literature (see [@SICON], [@BI03]), [@Huang], [@Pavlov]), in which the goal is precisely to make attractive a set, on which regulation objectives are met, which is not invariant for the open-loop system.", "\n\nThe second peculiarity, apparently not correlated to the previous one, relies in the fact that the set $\\ca$ is assumed to be “only” asymptotically stable for (\\[zd1\\]) and no exponential properties are required.

", "Polysaccharides are complex carbohydrates which, according to their chemical structure, can influence the mechanical properties of the system.^[@ref11]^ In fact, they are characterized by the presence of many hydroxyl groups which, once dispersed in water, can strongly interact with water molecules and increase the viscosity of the system.^[@ref12]^ From a technical point of view, replacing high-performing synthetic polymers in formulas with natural alternatives can be quite challenging, and considering the wide variety of plant-based polysaccharides available for cosmetic use, manufacturers are continuously more interested in instrumental methodologies to be used as time-saving and reproducible prescreening tools to evaluate the applicative specificities of new natural ingredients and assess the product design.", "\n\nThe importance of rheology for the characterization of semisolid materials has been widely proven. ", "In particular, the results obtained from the analyses, conducted both in continuous and oscillatory flow conditions, are used in the research and development of cosmetics, to investigate the spreading properties of products, their internal structure, and physical stability.^[@ref13],[@ref14]^ The texture analysis is frequently used in the food sector for determining the textural properties of foods.^[@ref15]−[@ref17]^ In recent times, this instrumental test has been also introduced in the cosmetic industry to quantify multiple textural properties, which are related to the sensory characteristics of products, such as gels and emulsions.^[@ref18]^ Recent studies have described the usefulness of rheology and texture measurements used in combination to compare different cosmetic products and to obtain objective information on their physical--mechanical attributes.^[@ref19],[@ref20]^ This work is intended to investigate the rheological and textural properties of water dispersions prepared using various acrylic and natural-derived polymers at different concentrations.

", "The positioning of the polymeric raw materials inside the PCA plot was a consequence of the physical--mechanical properties they gave to the aqueous systems in which they were dispersed. ", "From a general point of view, there was a clear distinction between the synthetic polymers and the natural-derived ones. ", "A majority of the natural raw materials were positioned on the left side of the graph because they had lower values of firmness, consistency, cohesiveness, and adhesiveness and were more likely to form fluid systems.

They are high molecular weight polymers derived from the crosslinking of the polyacrylic acid. ", "Acrylic polymers when dispersed in water and neutralized with a common base such as sodium hydroxide (NaOH), converting the acidic polymer into a salt, form a three-dimensional network: the polymer chains begin to swell and partially uncoil because of electrostatic repulsion among the negative charges, conferring high viscosity, consistency, and shear thinning characteristics to aqueous systems.

The observer-independence of the speed of light, and the relativity of simultaneity, lead to a more complex (nonlinear, noncommutative, nonassociative) law of composition of velocities, the special-relativistic law $$\\vec{v}_a\\oplus\\vec{v}_b=\\frac{\\vec{v}_a+\\vec{v}_b}{1+\\frac{\\vec{v}_a\\vec{v}_b}{c^2}}+\\frac{1}{c^2}\\frac{\\gamma_a}{1+\\gamma_a}\\frac{\\vec{v}_a\\wedge(\\vec{v}_a\\wedge\\vec{v}_b)}{1+\\frac{\\vec{v}_a\\vec{v}_b}{c^2}}\n~,$$ where $\\gamma_a=1/\\sqrt{1-|\\vec{v}_a|^2/c^2}$ is the Lorentz factor.

", "We first recall [@bob] that the absoluteness of spacetime locality amounts to the property that when one observer establishes that two events coincide then all other observers agree that those two events coincide.\\\nTo see that this is not the case in the framework under consideration, it suffices to consider two worldlines of massless particles with different energy, a “soft” one with momentum $p^{(s)}$ and a “hard” one with momentum $p^{(h)}$, emitted simultaneously from the origin of an observer Alice, so that we have a coincidence of (emission) events. ", "A distant observer Bob at rest with respect to Alice would still describe the two emission events as coincident, but, using our prescription for boosting, a third observer Camilla, purely boosted with respect to Bob, would describe the two emission events as non-coincident. ", "Details on the derivation of this relative-locality effect can be found in Ref.", " [@bob], which focused on the case of a Bob-Camilla boost parallel to the Alice-Bob translation direction. ", "And for that case Ref.", " [@bob] exposed a “longitudinal relative locality\" in the sense that the nonlocality attributed to the emission events by distantly boosted observer Camilla was found to be along the direction connecting Camilla and the relevant pair of events.", "\n\nTransverse effects\n==================\n\nOur next task is to summarize the results on “transverse relative locality\" of Ref.", " [@transverse]. ", "Again we want to first map the worldline (\\[wordli\\]), attributed to observer Alice, to the description of an observer Bob, purely translated with respect to Alice along the $x$ direction, but then we are interested in an observer Camilla purely boosted with respect to Bob along a direction $y$, orthogonal to $x$. Specializing our boost actions to the case of a boost purely in the $y$ direction[^4], we arrive at this Camilla worldline, which we characterize in the $x,y$ plane [@transverse]: $$\\begin{aligned}\ny^C(x^C)=-\\xi_y\\left(1-\\left(\\alpha-\\beta-\\gamma-\\frac{1}{2}\\right)\\ell p\\right)x^C-\\ell\\xi_y a p\\end{aligned}$$ where $\\xi_y$ is the boost parameter. ", "Here we notice two main features that characterize this result with respect to the corresponding result that applies in the special-relativity limit ($\\ell \\rightarrow 0$):\\\n(I) when $\\ell\\xi_y a p$ is within the reach of available experimental sensitivities it will be appreciated that the worldline does not cross Camilla’s spatial origin, a feature we shall find convenient to label as “shift\";\\\n(II) when $\\ell\\xi_y p$ is within the reach of available angular resolutions (and $\\alpha-\\beta-\\gamma-\\frac{1}{2} \\neq 0$) the angle in the $x,y$ plane by which Camilla sees the arrival of the particle is momentum dependent, which is a feature that may be labeled “dual-gravity lensing\", following the terminology introduced in Ref.", " [@leelaurentGRB], where an analogous feature was encountered in working with the relative-locality curved-momentum-space framework of Ref.", " [@principle].\\\nBoth of these features in general contribute to the transverse relative locality: if one considers a simultaneous emission at Alice of two massless particles of different momentum our distantly transversely boosted observer Camilla ends up describing the two emission events as non-coincident and the lack of coincidence occurs along the $y$ direction (a direction orthogonal to the one connecting the observers Alice and Camilla).", "\n\nParticularly striking are the effects of dual-gravity lensing: Alice sends out simultaneously two particles toward Camilla along the same direction, but Camilla ends up detecting them along non-parallel directions forming an angle [@transverse] $$\\theta \\simeq \\xi_y (\\alpha-\\beta-\\gamma-\\frac{1}{2}) \\, \\ell (p^{(h)} - p^{(s)}),$$ where notably the angle depends linearly on the difference of the momenta $(p^{(h)} - p^{(s)})$.\n\nIncidentally it is noteworthy that the feature of dual-gravity lensing exposed in Ref.", " [@leelaurentGRB] was proportional to the sum of the energies(/momenta) of the two particles whose wordlines were experiencing lensing. ", "It was already clear from Ref.", " [@leelaurentGRB] that this result of dependence on the sum of energies had only been checked within a very specific setup for the derivation, including definite choices among the many possible chains of interactions that could be considered in the interacting-particle framework there being studied. ", "The fact that Ref.", " [@transverse], although within the limitations of a theory of free particles, found dual-gravity-lensing effects proportional to the difference of the energies(/momenta) of the two particles whose wordlines experience lensing can provide encouragement for the search of other chains of interactions, in which the difference of energies governs the dual-gravity lensing.", "\n\nClosing remarks\n===============\n\nThe “theoretical evidence\" we here summarized on the basis of the results originally reported in Refs.", " [@bob; @kbob; @transverse] suggests that transverse relative locality and longitudinal relative locality are in some ways rather different but may deserve equal priority in future investigations of relative locality. ", "This intuition is based on relative-locality theories of free particles, but it is hard to imagine that for interacting relative-locality particles, which are described within the framework of Ref.", " [@principle], the “balance of power\" between longitudinal and transverse relative locality could be significantly shifted.", "\n\nAnother aspect which was here only considered somewhat implicitly is the relevance of relative locality for certain models with spacetime noncommutativity. ", "There it will also be interesting to learn how relative locality interfaces with the most subtle aspects of those models, such as the need for adopting consistent ordering prescriptions [@aadbasis; @kowanowabasis; @meljaEPJ].", "\n\nOf course, we are most excited about the potential implications for phenomenology. ", "It was amusing to see that the possibility of DSR-deformations of relativistic symmetries played a significant role [@whataboutopera; @operaDSR; @synchroDSR; @fransDSROPERA; @yiDSROPERA; @dimitriDSROPERA] in the analysis of the apparent “OPERA anomaly\" for neutrinos of accelerator energies. ", "But the truly significant prospects are the one for Planck-scale phenomenology, mostly exploiting observations of particles propagating over cosmological distances (see, [*e.g.*]{} Refs.", " [@magicELLISnew; @unoEdue]).

", "We experienced lots of big things in a very weighted musical year.", "\n\nSean and Megan catch up with Soul Clap at BPM Festival (Photo by Ashlyn Fulton)\n\nFW: I remember last year during BPM, the Crew Love party took place the day after Bowie died. ", "It was very sad, but wow, it made for a great day of music!", "\n\nEli: Yes, that was super emotional. ", "It was a celebration of his achievements, and of course, the power of music. ", "It’s great to celebrate [the legends]. ", "Being DJs, it really gives us the power to play their music and celebrate artists of the past. ", "Colonel Abrams was the last one big one that we lost. ", "Surprisingly enough, not as many people seemed to know a whole lot about him. ", "He was an 80s funk and soul singer, who turned into a significant voice in house music.", "\n\nFW: So you’re not going to play a Leonard Cohen heavy set today then?", "\n\nEli: You know, he died right after Trump got elected. ", "That was especially demoralizing. ", "I was playing Leonard Cohen tracks that weekend. ", "And, David Mancuso! ", "None of this [club] culture would be here without Mancuso. ", "He reminds us what the core of this whole dance music thing is supposed to be: friends coming together in a safe comfortable space, to really come together and dance and be free. ", "It’s the heart of it, you know. ", "Him passing really reminds us of that.", "\n\nFW: Speaking of inspirations, what inspired you two to record Funk Bomb?", "\n\nCharles: It started as a jam session between Eli and myself at my house. ", "The first synth we ever had was the Korg MS2000, and I was dialing in on that. [", "Meanwhile,] Eli was laying down some awesome drum stuff, and programming samples. ", "So it all began as just that one synth and us.", "\n\nEli: We started calling those beats the MS2000-Funk Bomb. ", "But, we went ahead and knocked that off because it was way too nerdy.", "\n\nCharles: We created those sounds, and then ended up at Red Bull Studios. ", "Billy Bass Nelson from Funkadelic came in and did the bass line. ", "Wiley from Midnight Magic came and played some keys, and then John King – he’s another guy in Crew Love – a fantastic jazz pianist who grew up with Greg Paulus and Nick DeBruyn from No Regular Play, brought in a jazz element. ", "We filled it all out at Red Bull, and it took on a life of its own. ", "Doc Martin, who we brought [with us] on Holy Ship, just did a remix of Funk Bomb, which will come out soon.", "\n\nFW: You just mentioned fellow Brooklyners, No Regular Play. ", "How have your close ties to Brooklyn helped you in your collaborative efforts?", "\n\nEli: The whole Crew Love thing started with Wolf+Lamb at the Marcy Hotel in Williamsburg. ", "That started back in 2005 I believe, and then closed in 2015.", "\n\nFW: And the Marcy Hotel was akin to an artist co-op, correct?", "\n\nCharles: Artist co-op? ", "Yeah, pretty close.", "\n\nEli: It was a building, and the first floor was a space that’s now the Boiler Room. ", "Actually, we just did a Boiler Room event there recently. ", "Zev and Gadi of Wolf + Lamb kind of developed the space and had friends move into the apartments. ", "They eventually took over the whole building and they were throwing parties. ", "It became a space for an extended family of artists and musicians to stay when they were coming through New York. ", "Then we came into the picture around 2008. ", "The first round was the Vision Quest guys (Ryan Crossen, Shaun Reeves, Lee Curtis, Seth Troxler). ", "So then we arrived, and No Regular Play came in the second wave as well. ", "We were all working together. ", "That was the center for collaboration and doing parties, and that developed into the Crew Love collective.", "\n\nCharles: And circling back to Funk Bomb – all of those studio musicians are New York-based. ", "Without the New York connections, those collaborations might not have ever happened.", "\n\nFW: So the setting isn’t the Marcy Hotel anymore, but you’re still playing parties in New York all the time. ", "We had a great time at I Feel Love, and then you sold-out Good Room on NYE!", "\n\nEli: Good Room was great. ", "New Years is always kind of weighted, because you get the crowd who doesn’t always go out. ", "But that was a really good vibe. ", "We had another good party with the MATTE Project at The Marina [in Inwood].", "\n\nCharles: That was pretty dope, that was a real Crew Love party in New York, and the venue is awesome because you’re dancing in the sand! ", "Plus we did a lot of cool stuff at Output, and it was a big year for Eli’s club, Black Flamingo.", "\n\nBlack Flamingo Night Club (Photo credit: Insomniac)\n\nFW: Yeah, how’s that going?

", "There are a bunch of investors, and this guy Bryce who’s the GM and the heart and soul that makes it tick. ", "I do the bookings and help with all that.", "\n\nFW: And what is Black Flamingo bringing to Brooklyn that hasn’t been served before?", "\n\nEli: Things happen so fast in New York, but when we opened the doors a year and a half ago there weren’t any small bars paying warmer electronic music like house and disco. ", "You had Bossa Nova in Bushwick, but that was about it. ", "We wanted a DJ spot that was intimate but focused on house and disco. ", "Black Flamingo is in Williamsburg, right by the bridge.", "\n\nFW: We can get down with that. ", "Did you set a fierce dress code, because we have to know, what is the inspiration behind your outfits? ", "Every time we see you guys, you bring something fun. ", "You know, you’re kind of like the “David Bowies” of house music!", "\n\nEli: Oh wow, that’s such a compliment! ", "Vintage shopping is a key element, late 80s early 90s, era specifically, Charles’ shirt we got in Tokyo at this place called Pin Nap.", "\n\nCharles: Yep. ", "Pin. ", "Nap. ", "The dude who works there is very funny. ", "He’s a Japanese guy with a full afro, and he’s got a bunch of 90s nostalgia gear. ", "He’s always like, “Come. ", "Come. ", "Let me show you.” ", "He’s got lots of Alf.", "\n\nEli: That place is absolutely smashing. ", "They have a whole Cosby sweater section. ", "Every time we go to Tokyo we’ve ended up in that spot.", "\n\nFW: So he’s like your wacky clothes dealer?", "\n\nEli: For sure. ", "The other place I love is KOKO ROKOKO. ", "That’s my main go-to in Chicago. ", "They buy a bunch of awesome 80s and 90s stuff, plus they are friends from Boston. ", "I don’t want to give away too much of the secret, but I always want to shout them out, because it’s one of the best places in the world!", "\n\nFW: So what’s next for you guys? ", "Gonna chill after the big year, or just keep chugging along?", "\n\nCharles: We’re just going to keep on pushing!", "\n\nEli: We’ve been playing around with a live element, which we’ll showcase at some festivals this summer, like Movement and Electric Forest.

", "In overbraking, the central electronic control apparatus of the ABS brake system detects from rotational speed sensor signals the tendency of one or more wheels to lock and from this calculates the activation of the pressure control valve arrangement acting upon the assigned brake cylinder. ", "The brake pressure is then set to optimal slip by the pressure control valve arrangement by lowering, holding or building up the brake pressure according to the wheel behavior and therefore the frictional conditions between the tire and road. ", "ABS pressure control valve arrangements without a relay action, to which the exemplary embodiments and/or exemplary methods of the present invention relate, are used in vehicles, such as, for example, utility vehicles, omnibuses, tractors and trailers. ", "Pressure control valve arrangements without a relay action mostly have 3/2 way solenoid valves as the pilot control valves of diaphragm valves, an electronic control device activating the 3/2 way solenoid valves so that the “pressure holding”, “pressure reduction” and the “pressure build-up” functions necessary for ABS operation can be carried out. ", "During braking without the response of the ABS (no tendency of a wheel to lock), the pressure medium, mostly air, flows, unimpeded, through the pressure control valve arrangements in both directions when the brake cylinders are being ventilated and bled. ", "This ensures that the functioning of the service brake system is not influenced by the ABS pressure control valve arrangement.", "\nPressure control valves of the generic type, as 1-channel pressure control valves for antilock systems in motor vehicles, have in each case, inside the housing, a diaphragm valve as a holding valve and as an outlet valve and also in each case an electromagnetic control valve for the holding valve and the outlet valve.

", "In this case, the mid-axes of the two magnet coils at the same time also define the positions of the valve seats of the electromagnetic control valves of the pressure control valve arrangement, because the mid-axes of the magnet coils are arranged coaxially with the valve seats and with the magnet armatures. ", "Furthermore, the valve seats of the electromagnetic control valves are connected to the pressure medium connection or issue into this via pressure medium ducts. ", "These pressure medium ducts may be made coaxially with the mid-axes of the magnet coils by cutting manufacture, such as drilling, in order for reasons of cost to avoid having to rechuck the housing in order to make obliquely running pressure medium ducts or housing bores. ", "The pressure medium ducts consequently run parallel to one another in a vertical direction.", "\nSo that the pressure medium ducts emanating from the valve seats of the electromagnetic control valves can therefore be manufactured in a vertical direction in the housing by cutting and at the same time both of them can issue into the pressure medium connection, the inside diameter of the pressure medium connection has to be relatively large, especially since the magnet coils also cannot undershoot a certain diameter. ", "However, because a correspondingly large diameter of the pressure medium connection is unfavorable in flow terms, in practice a reducing sleeve which reduces the effective flow diameter is inserted into the pressure medium connection.", "\nHowever, this procedure entails additional costs for producing and mounting the reducing sleeve, and, in view of the large number of pressure control valve arrangements delivered by a supplier of vehicles, this amounts in total to a relatively high sum." ]

[ "Thirty years ago, a professor of Architecture named Roger Ulrich organized a now-classic study with a group of patients recovering from gallbladder surgery. ", "Half of the patients were placed in hospital rooms whose windows exposed a group of deciduous trees; the other half had windows that opened to a brown brick wall. ", "Which group do you think had an easier recovery?", "\n\nAs you might have guessed, patients who had the view of trees tolerated pain better, appeared to nurses to have fewer negative effects, and were even released from the hospital earlier. ", "The results of this study were clear: our environment has an impact on our bodies and minds.", "\n\n\"Environment[10]\" can refer to the physical space around us. ", "This includes both the natural world (water, air, earth, vegetation, and animals) and the build environment (man-made furnishings, buildings, roads, and other infrastructure). ", "What you are seeing, hearing, and experiencing at any moment is changing not only your mood, but how your nervous, endocrine, and immune systems are working. ", "What Ulrich's study pointed out was that we need to consider our interactions with the world around us to optimize our wellbeing, and one key way to interact in a positive way with our world is to re-connect with nature.", "\n\nNature heals\n\nHave you ever taken a walk around the park to \"chill out\" after a particularly stressful day? ", "Perhaps you noticed that looking up at the trees or stopping to smell a fragrant flower made you feel calmer. ", "Research is beginning to validate what seems like common sense: being in nature or even viewing scenes of nature reduces anger, fear, and stress[11] and increases pleasant feelings. ", "Exposure to nature not only makes you feel better emotionally, it contributes to your physical wellbeing, reducing blood pressure, heart rate, muscle tension, and the production of stress hormones. ", "Even a simple plant in a room can have a significant impact on stress and anxiety, so if you need to re-center after a rough day but don't have the time or ability to get outside, simply spending some quiet time watering your potted fern or gazing into a picture of a quiet forest can have a positive impact on the way you feel.", "\n\nIt's not just a stress-buster, either--nature is associated with fewer physical health complaints and may even make you live longer.", "\n\nNature restores\n\nFurthermore, time in nature or viewing nature scenes increases our ability to take on new mental tasks and pay attention.", "One explanation for this is that nature provides a respite from the constant effort to screen out competing stimuli in our busy lives. ", "Because humans find nature inherently engrossing, we don't have to make an effort to focus when presented with natural views. ", "This reduces mental fatigue and refreshes the mind. ", "Some research in children with ADHD even shows that time spent in nature increases their attention.", "\n\nNature connects\n\nTime in nature connects us to each other and the larger world. ", "A series of field studies conducted by the Human-Environment Research Lab at the University of Illinois suggest that residents in Chicago public housing who had trees and green space around their building reported knowing more people and having stronger feelings of unity[12] with neighbors than tenants in buildings without trees. ", "In addition to this greater sense of community, they had a reduced risk of street crime, lower levels of violence and aggression between domestic partners, and a better capacity to cope with life's demands, especially the stresses of living in poverty.", "\n\nThis experience of connection may be explained by studies that used fMRI to measure brain activity. ", "When the subjects in these studies viewed nature scenes, parts of the brain associated with heightened empathy, love, and positive mental outlook were activated. ", "When they viewed urban scenes, they activated parts of the brain associated with fear and anxiety. ", "It appears as though nature inspires feelings that connect us to our community and our environment.", "\n\nToo much time in front of screens is deadly\n\nLikewise, a lack of time in the natural world can make us feel more disconnected and unhappy. \"", "Nature deprivation,\" largely due to hours spent in front of TV or computer screens, has been associated with depression[13], loss of empathy, and lack of altruism, and even a higher risk of death. ", "This is of particular concern in our modern, busy lives--it's very easy to spend an entire day looking at our computers, our cell phones, and our televisions, without paying any attention to the greenspace outdoors or the plants on our desk.", "\n\nThis is an example of how you can create an environment that is not working toward your wellbeing--a living room full of screens is bad for you, much like overeating or smoking!", "\n\nWhat You Can Do\n\nIt's simple: get outside, somewhere green, preferably under your own power (or at very least, get some plants!)", "\n\nSpend time outdoors whenever you can. ", "You get double benefit if you enjoy the outdoors actively--gardening, walking, or biking. ", "If you can, walk or bike where there is vegetation or water--some elements of greenspace.", "\n\nConsider how much time you spend each time in front of a screen (TV or computer). ", "Could you reduce that time to go outside or interact with friends or family[14]?", "\n\nAdd plants you find attractive to your home and office (and bring them to friends and family who are sick). ", "Consider putting up scenes of nature that you like in your home and office. ", "Make the interior spaces you live in feel beautiful and healing.", "\n\nAnd finally, realize that our relationship with nature is not a one-way street.
