Core momentum distribution in two-neutron halo nuclei
The core momentum distribution of a weakly-bound neutron-neutron-core exotic nucleus is computed within a renormalized zero-range three-body model, with interactions in the s-wave channel. The halo wave-function in momentum space is obtained by using as inputs the two-body scattering lengths and the two-neutron separation energy. The core momentum densities are computed for Li, Be C and C. The model describes the experimental data for Li, Be and to some extend C. The recoil momentum distribution of the C from the breakup of C nucleus is computed for different two-neutron separation energies, and from the comparison with recent experimental data the two-neutron separation energy is estimated in the range KeV. The recoil momentum distribution depends weakly on the neutron-C scattering length, while the matter radius is strongly sensitive to it. The expected universality of the momentum distribution width is verified by also considering excited states for the system.

The core recoil momentum distribution of radioactive two-neutron halo nuclei close to the drip line, extracted from breakup reactions at few hundreds MeV/A, are expected to be quite useful in order to get insights on the underlying neutron-neutron-core structure of these exotic nuclei [1, 2]. This is particularly clear in the example of Li breakup in a carbon target at 800 MeV/A , where the momentum distribution is characterized by tahe sum of two distributions, a narrow one with MeV/c and a wide one with MeV/c, given that is the variance associated with a normal distribution. The narrow momentum distribution should be associated with a large configuration of the two neutrons forming a halo structure. In this case the breakup occurs when the two neutrons are found quite far from the core, corresponding to a weakly-bound three-body system in the nuclear scale. On the other hand, the wide momentum distribution is related to the inner part of the halo neutron orbits, close to the core region.
An interesting aspect of two-neutron halo states, associated with the narrow core momentum distribution, is that the halo constituents should have a high probability to be found in the classically forbidden region, outside the potential range. Therefore, the halo wave function should be quite insensitive to details of the interactions, once the model is adjusted by the best known two- and three-body low-energy observables. Therefore, one natural observable is the the two-neutron separation energy, , which represent the three-body binding. For the two-body subsystems neutron-neutron and neutron-core , the appropriate observables are the corresponding scattering lengths (or, respective, two-body energies). With these arguments, studies with schematic potentials, such as contact interactions, have been quite successful in describing low-energy three-body structures for large two-body scattering lengths (when the corresponding energies are close to zero). Actually, investigations on quantum three-body systems within this regime, in nuclear and atomic physics, became quite well known in view of recent experimental realizations in atomic laboratories of the long-time predicted Efimov effect , which corresponds to the increasing number of excited three-body states as one goes to the unitary limit (when one or both two-body scattering lengths are close to infinity). For recent reports, quoting the main experimental realizations of this effect, see Refs. [4, 5].
By considering a contact interaction, the corresponding wave-function is an eigenstate of the free Hamiltonian, except in the positions where the particles are right on the top of each other; and, therefore, the particles are in the classically forbidden region (see, e.g., ). Such theoretical approach applied to light-exotic nuclei close to the neutron drip-line, within a neutron-neutron-core () configuration, is described in detail in a recent review, in Ref. , where universal aspects of the properties of the weakly-bound systems are emphasized.
Our focus here is to present a theoretical investigation concerned to the experimental core recoil momentum distributions of the halo-nuclei Li , Be , C and C , as obtained by the halo breakup on nuclear targets (see also Ref. ). The approach is the above described three-body model, which we found appropriate for the analysis of low-binding energy systems as these ones. In the particular cases of Li, Be and the carbon systems C and C, we consider that the neutron-neutron and the neutron-core interactions are dominated by wave states. The calculations of core momentum distributions are performed within a renormalized zero- range three-body model, with the halo nucleus described as two neutrons with an inert core () [7, 11]. The detailed expressions for the momentum distribution are given in , within an approach that requires as inputs one two-body () and one three-body ( ) observable, given that the other two-body observable is fixed to the well-known virtual-state energy of the system. Usually, within such approach it is appropriate to consider the corresponding two-body scattering lengths (positive, for bound, and negative for virtual state systems); with a three-body scale given by the two-neutron separation energy, . Therefore, in a more general description of low-energy three-body physics with two distinguished particles (), an appropriate universal scaling function is given (see e.g. ), where only three low-energy inpus are enough to determine any other relevant low-energy observable of the system.
Within our study on the momentum distributions of the core in halo nuclei the observable that we are concerned is the variance of the momentum distribution, given by (associated with the normal one), which is universally correlated to the two possible scattering lengths and . One obtains from the Full Width at Half Maximum (FWHM) of the momentum distribution, such that on can find that FWHM . Once this quantity is known experimentally, one can use the scaling function to estimate the value of or, eventually, to constraint some other poorly known low-energy observable, such as a subsystem energy, or scattering length. The natural units for in halo physics is MeV/c. As we are interested in scaling properties of observables, it is convenient to introduce the dimensionless ratio , where is the neutron mass. By taking as the mass unit, a scaling function can be defined, with a general form given by
where the and signs refer to the bound and virtual subsystem energies, respectively. The core mass number is . The corresponding energies, and , are positive defined quantities, with and being the respective two-body scattering lengths. In our specific case of the two-neutron halo nuclei the above scaling function (1) has fixed to the virtual state. In the next, our units are such that the Planck constant and the velocity of light are set to one. All masses are taken in units of .
For the momentum distribution width, the scaling function (1) is the limit cycle of the correlation function associated with as a function of , and , when the three-body ultraviolet (UV) cut-off is driven to infinite in the three-body integral equations, or equally the scattering lengths driven to zero with a fixed UV cut-off. Similar procedure is performed within a renormalized zero-range three-body model, in the subtracted integral equations, where the subtraction energy is fixed and the two-body scattering lengths are driven towards infinite. In practice, both procedures provides very close results, as shown in Ref. . In the exact Efimov limit (), the width is a universal function of the mass number , which is associated to a limit cycle. Already in the first cycle it approaches the results of the renormalized zero-range three-body model (see e.g. ), namely given by the subtracted Skorniakov and Ter-Martirosian equations for mass imbalanced systems .
For the analysis of the core momentum distribution, we consider data for Li , Be  and C  as the low-energy parameters, which are the inputs of our renormalized zero-range model. This procedure allows us to verify the utility of such “bare” formula (1), which does not include distortion effects from the scattering, to analyse the actual breakup data for those systems, taken at few-hundred MeV/A.
As an application of our model, we study in more detail the two neutron halo of the Borromean nuclei C, in an attempt to extract information of the halo properties, by using the correlation between observables expressed in Eq.(1), namely the width of the core recoil distribution as a function of and the energy of the wave virtual state of C. From the experimental point of view the two-neutron separation energy of C is not well constrained, with a value of 0.42 0.94 MeV given by systematics  and from a mass measurement, it was found -0.14(46) MeV. There is an indirect evidence that C could be bound by less than 70 keV . Other independent information on the binding energy of this nucleus can be obtained from the matter radius. Tanaka and collaborators  extracted a root-mean-square (rms) matter radius of fm from the analysis of the large reaction cross sections of C on liquid hydrogen target at 40A MeV, using a finite-range Glauber calculation under an optical-limit approximation. Furthermore, the two-valence neutrons occupy preferentially one orbital in their analysis. Such rms matter radius, taken together with the corresponding one of C (2.98(5) fm), suggest a halo neutron orbit with rms radius of fm in C, which is constraining the to be below 100 keV . This value is consistent with results obtained from a shell-model approach  and results from effective field theory with contact interaction [22, 23]. The estimated C quantities should be compared with the fairly small value of keV for Li in the nuclear scale , and with the neutron-neutron () average separation distances in Li around 6-8 fm, which is obtained from the correlation function measured by the breakup cross-section on heavy nuclei [25, 26]. However, Riisager  pointed out that a comparison of experimental data obtained for the core recoil momentum distributions of Li  and C  suggests similar neutron halo sizes for these nuclei, which could indicate an overestimation of the matter radius of this carbon isotope.
Our present work can give more insights in resolving the issue of the size of the two neutron halo in C. The constraints in the parameters associated with the C halo structure and two-neutron separation energy provided by the scaling formula for the width of the core recoil momentum distribution are discussed on the basis that corresponding data, fitted to three-body model calculations. The particular case of C is interesting considering that the corresponding observables are probably dominated by the tail of the three-body wave function in an ideal wave three-body model. That ideal structure was already considered in Ref. , within a Borromean C configuration for C, where all two-body subsystems, C and are not bound.
As it will be shown in the following, the recent experimental results for C and C  allow us, in principle, to constraint and the matter radius of C, even considering that the scattering length of the subsystem neutron-C is not well known. From the experimental analysis performed in Ref. , the associated wave virtual-state energy of C is found to be about MeV.
The present study on the constraint for are relying on the applicability of the renormalized three-body zero-range model and scaling function (1) derived for the width of the core recoil momentum distribution. In the case of C, this is obtained by fitting this distribution to the experimental breakup cross-section data given in Ref. . For our estimative of is also essential that the scaling function given in (1) has a weak dependence of the ratio.
One of the sources of information on the sizes of unstable neutron-rich nuclei, is the correlation function obtained from Coulomb breakup experiments with neutron rich projectile on heavy nuclei [28, 25, 26]. The experimental results for the correlation function for Borromean nuclei Li and Be are found quite consistent with the corresponding computed quantities obtained within a subtracted renormalized zero-range model , unless an unexpected theoretical minimum before the correlation function approach unity for large relative momentum. Data from the experiments are showing a monodic decrease of the correlation function with momentum; however, the accessible data goes only up to the predicted minima region.
Next, we present the basic formalism. In section 3 we have the main results, followed by the section 4 where we summarize our conclusions.
2 Model formalism
In the following, we briefly sketch the formalism, based on the renormalized zero-range three-body model, leading to the core recoil momentum distribution formula, which is used in our data analysis of the halo nuclei systems Li, Be, C and C.
The renormalized zero-range model which we are considering to describe the halo wave-function has been explained in detail in the review . In order to built the wave three-body wave function for the system, one needs to solve a coupled integral equation for the independent spectator functions and . Within the zero range model, a regularization is needed, which can be implemented with a cutoff momentum parameter, such as in Ref. , or by considering the subtraction procedure used in , which we follow in the present approach. Therefore, the present subtractive regularization approach for the spectator functions is performed at a given energy scale , by the following coupled equations:
The above set of coupled equations can also be derived from a renormalized Hamiltonian as shown in , where the associated renormalization group properties are also discussed. The minus () sign refers to a bound state subsystem and the plus sign () to a virtual state subsystem. Therefore, within the perspective of a more general system, the following cases can be described by the above coupled integral equations: all-bound configuration, when there is no unbound subsystems; Borromean configuration, when all the subsystems are unbound; tango configuration [32, 33, 35], when we have two unbound and one bound subsystems; and samba configuration , when just one of the two-body subsystems is unbound. In the present case, as we are concerned with halo nuclei system, only samba and Borromean configurations are possible, once we take that is unbound with a virtual-state energy of about keV. This implies that only the sign is to be considered for in Eq. (3).
One can further simplify Eq. (2), for numerical purpose, by having an uncoupled integral equation for :
The corresponding wave three-body wave-function can be written in terms of the spectator functions and as:
where is the relative Jacobi momentum basis, with the relative momentum of the core to the center-of-mass of the system, and the relative momentum between the two neutrons. Note that, as we are going to present results corresponding to the limit cycle, namely, when all involved energies tends to zero with respect to the subtraction or regularization scale, we have dropped the regularization term in the denominator of the wave-function, which was introduced in Ref. . The configuration space halo wave-function, which is given by the Fourier Transform of the momentum wave-function, is an eigenstate of the free Hamiltonian, except when two particles are at the same point, such that in our model the two halo-neutrons are always found in the classically forbidden region. This model can represent a real halo state as long as the neutrons have a large probability to be found outside of the potential range and of the core.
From the wave-function, given in momentum space by Eq. (6), we can define the core momentum distribution for the system as
with normalization such that . In the context of cold atoms the large momentum behaviour of the above momentum density has been studied in detail for three-bosons in  and for mass imbalanced systems in . The log-periodic solution of the spectator equations (2) in the ultraviolet limit, when , is the key property to derive asymptotic formulas for the one-body momentum densities. Furthermore, it was verified in  how the solutions of (2) approaches the log-periodic form for the higher Efimov excited states. In addition, it was shown that the density properties at low momentum behaviour are universal, namely, approach the limit-cycle already for the ground state with finite , and depend on the three-body binding energy and scattering lengths.
3 Results and discussion
The solution for the set of integral equations (2) provides the spectator functions and ultimately the momentum probability density (7). We start by showing results for , in order to study the limit-cycle for the core momentum distribution in the context of the two-neutron halo nuclei. To illustrate this limit we show in Fig. 1 the corresponding scaling function (1) for , in terms of the dimensionless ratio as a function of the core mass number. Results for the ground and two excited states in Fig. 1 show that the limit-cycle is universal and in practice found for the ground state. We compare with the experimental values of obtained for Li, MeV/c, coming from the halo breakup reaction Li +CLi + X at 800 MeV/A , and for Be, which has a FWHMMeV/c for the core recoil momentum distribution  and 1.337 MeV . The flattening of the scaling function for large reaching an asymptotic value can be understood by inspecting the set of coupled equations (2) and the wave-function (6) by noticing that the limit can be performed, where all dependences on are cancelled out. One has to remind that even for the dependence of the core momentum distribution on the relative momentum just reflects the momentum distribution of the center of mass the two halo-neutrons in the nucleus. On the other hand, for , the momentum distribution tends be concentrated at small momentum as one can easily check that the relevant contribution to the integral equation for the spectator function comes from small momentum and . Naively, the light particle explores large distances, as the characteristic momentum is of the order of , and therefore for .
The dependence of on the subsystems energies and is investigated by considering the results presented in Figs. 2 and 3, where we consider the Borromean configurations, in the cases of Li, Be and C, as well as the samba type configuration (bound subsystem), which is exemplified by the case of C. For and by changing from 0 to 143 keV, increases with respect to , as is seen when the values at the origin of these figures are compared to Fig. 1. It means that the halo shrinks as the virtual state energy increases in absolute value. This effect was found in , namely for a given the size of the halo shrinks when going from all-bound configuration to the Borromean one. This behaviour happens because the interaction becomes less attractive, such that to keep the three-body binding energy the state has to become smaller. This effect is also observed as the value of increases in for Li (left-frame) and Be (right-frame), as shown in Fig. 2. For the wave virtual state energy of Li of 50 keV, one has and MeV/c compared to the experimental value of MeV/c . The experimental value of MeV/c from the FWHM of the momentum distribution of Be  is represented by the region delimited with the dashed lines in the right-frame of Fig. 2, and from that we could say roughly that wave virtual state of Be is less than 1 MeV, which is consistent with 0.2 MeV that is the known value (see e.g. ). We note that the dependence on is very mild and by changing it from 0 to a variation of of only 10% is found in our model, which puts a constraint in the error in the experimental ratio in order to be useful to extract information on the neutron-core virtual state energy.
In Fig. 3, we show results for the scaling plots for the core momentum distribution in C (left-frame) and C (right-frame). In the left frame, the subsystem C forming the wave one neutron halo C is bound with energy 580 keV , where is the one neutron separation energy. Although, all halo low-energy scales are known for C, we allow variation of the ratio to illustrate how the width of the momentum distribution varies in the case of halo nuclei with bound subsystem. The width decreases as increases as the bound state energy becomes closer to the lowest scattering threshold, and consequently the neutron distance to core increases leading to the sudden drop of to zero, when goes to unity. In the right-frame of the figure, we present results for as a function of for C computed with different values of , 100 keV, 250 keV and 400 keV. We observe in the figure that while exhibits a strong dependence on with and kept constant, the variation of with the ratio for constant shows a quite weak sensitivity, as one could expect for the Borromean case. In that sense, as already recognized, the value of gives a good constraint for in this case.
After our discussion of the general scaling properties of the with of the momentum distribution, we show in Fig. 4 our calculations of the core recoil momentum distribution for Li (left-frame) and C (right-frame) compared to actual results from halo breakup experiments obtained reactions with carbon target at 800 MeV/A  and at 240 MeV/A , respectively. For Li, a wide distribution with 80 MeV/c is added to the computed narrow one, which has 22 MeV/c. We remark that all three inputs to compute the narrow distribution are fixed to known values of 369 keV , the wave virtual state energy of Li, =50 keV, and the singlet virtual state, =143 keV. The wide momentum distribution is beyond our model, which is more concerned on the halo neutrons. That contribution should be associated with inner part of the halo neutron orbits, close to the core region. In the comparison with the experimental data, the normalisations of the wide and narrow distributions are fitted to the data. After that, we find a fair reproduction of the experimental data as shown in the figure. This procedure confirms that our approach is a viable tool to extract information on the large two-neutron halo properties from the core momentum distribution.
The right-frame of Fig. 4 presents the core momentum distribution for C. The calculations were performed with 3.5 MeV and with C one-neutron separation energy equal to 580 keV . The model is compared to data obtained from , after folding with the experimental resolution of MeV/c. We observe that a wide distribution is somewhat missing to fit the experimental results in this case.
The model results for the core recoil momentum distribution in C, with two-neutron separation energies of 100 and 400 KeV, is presented in the left-frame of Fig. 5, and compared to data obtained from . The singlet virtual energy is fixed to 143 keV, with the virtual-state energy of C chosen as 0 and 1 MeV . The narrow theoretical distribution is folded to the experimental resolution of MeV/c and added to a wide one with MeV/c. The results presented in this figure illustrate the weak sensitivity of the core recoil momentum distribution to the variation of the virtual-state energy of C, which is taken between 0 and 1 MeV, as it was shown by the results with 100 keV. The difference between the distributions obtained with 100 and 400 keV, computed with MeV is not enough to discriminate in view of the experimental data error. The model sensitivity to the physical inputs, in the interesting case of C is further explored, in the right-frame of the figure, where the scaling plot for as a function of is shown for three values of . The weak sensitivity to the wave virtual state energy of C is seen and one could consider to obtain an upper limit to the experimental relative error in order to extract information on the C scattering length. However, a variation of the ratio between 0 and 9 gives 10% variation of ( is fixed), which is surmounted by a variation of about 50% in . Therefore, it is required an independent source of information to constrain the C scattering length, which we can find from the matter radius of C .
To close our discussion of C, we computed the matter radius starting with the rms radius of the halo neutrons with respect to the center-of-mass, which is obtained from the configuration space wave-function, which is obtained by considering the Fourier transform of the corresponding momentum wave-function (6). For details on this procedure, see [31, 20]. The corresponding formula of the matter radius is given by . The C matter radius is 2.98(5) fm. The plot of Fig. 6 shows the theoretical values of the rms matter radius of C as a function of for a fixed wave virtual state energies of the singlet pair (143 keV) and C (1 MeV  and 0) compared to data from . In the figure, the limits for the extracted matter radius  are shown, and we can make some remarks analysing the consistence between the different available data and our model, considering that 100 keV keV: (i) for , one finds that 3.5 fm 4.5 fm; and, (ii) for MeV, we have 3.5 fm. Only if we obtain a region for close to 100 keV, consistent with rms matter radius of C within one standard deviation and in the lower bound of the radius, namely fm. The value of MeV for the virtual state of C and 100 keV is compatible with two standard deviation; from that, 3.5 fm. This combined analysis for C of the core recoil momentum distribution, with rms matter radius and virtual state energy of C, suggests that such virtual-state energy and matter radius are overestimated. Independent new data on the for C could help in clarifying the tension between data analysis with the present universal model.
In summary, by considering the renormalized zero-range model applied to the case of core recoil momentum distributions of Li and Be, we found a fair consistency with experimental data, just by using the known low-energy parameters. Relying on the fact that such simplified model gives already a valid description of the two-neutron -wave halo, we proceed with a combined analysis of recent experimental data on the core momentum distribution in C, which is given by Kobaiashi et al. , the corresponding rms matter radius and the C virtual state energy. Our conclusion is that, with the value of the two-neutron separation energy of C given in the interval from 100 to 400 keV, the rms matter radius of C will be within two standard deviations if the virtual state energy of C is close to 0. By considering the C with a virtual-state energy between 0 and 1 MeV, the matter rms radius should be between 3.5 and 4.5 fm. To reconcile a virtual-state energy with 1 MeV, a matter radius of 5.40.9 fm and 100 keV keV, the possibility is 100 keV and 1 MeV, implying that 4.5 fm. A refined analysis of the core momentum distribution, beyond the Serber model , is desirable, of course. However, the comparison of results obtained by the present model for Li and Be with corresponding data suggests small corrections to the distribution verified for C.

On Saturday, October 24, the Port of Hueneme’s “Committed to Community” Drive hosted its 40th food distribution with a “Feeding the Frontline” volunteer appreciation touch. Commemorative plaques were distributed to volunteers who have supported this food and resource drive since the pandemic began.
“It is important that we recognize our true community heroes; from the dockworkers, farmworkers and truck drivers who keep our shelves stocked; our staff, and most definitely our volunteers. They are answering a weekly call to bring much needed relief to our community and the Port is grateful that the volunteers have been there as partners from the very beginning,” said Jess Ramirez, President of the Oxnard Harbor District Commission.

The efforts that began as a curbside distribution of a pallet of Del Monte bananas in the back of a pickup truck have led to the distribution of 760,000 pounds of fresh produce and other essentials. This has been possible through Port of Hueneme customers Del Monte Fresh Produce and other premier community partners such as Clinicas del Camino Real, The Local Love Project, Food Share, US Census workers, the United Farmworkers Foundation, Inlakech Cultural Arts Center, All Inclusive Residents for Equity (AIRE), the Camarillo Chamber of Commerce and Ruby’s in Camarillo, to name a few.
“We have a lot more work to do but this is a milestone event as we have been able to distribute food and other essential items to 25,000 families throughout Ventura County. The pandemic has been a very difficult time for many families and with the holidays fast approaching, Port leadership has begun identifying other ways to help support them,” said Kristin Decas, Port Director and CEO for the Port of Hueneme.

Postcards with data from the Port’s EPA grade Air Quality Monitor installed at Haycox Elementary last November were also distributed to the eventgoers and South Oxnard community members.
“These (postcards) are the first step in sharing air quality information with the community, and we are excited to show that the air quality in South Oxnard is actually very good,” said Giles Pettifor, Environmental Manager for the Port. “Our data also shows that the worst air quality occurs during the cold winter months or wildfires. The 101 Freeway is also a major source of air pollution.”

“Overall the Port’s emissions have decreased greatly in the last decade, for example diesel emissions have dropped by 77% which is a great step in the right direction for environmental equity,” said President Ramirez. “We will continue having this type of impact as our community deserves nothing less from their Port. As a top economic engine in the region, the Port will uphold its mission and commitment for shared prosperity with a focus on trade, job creation, and environmental equity.”

The Student Services Department also used the food drive as a way to promote a spirit of community service but also focused on class pride. Student services collected all the food from the drop off points and tallied the final donations. Certain drop off points were designated for each class level so the freshman through senior class could compete as to whom is more giving. Although the senior class is smaller than any other grade level they displayed senior pride and a giving spirit by donating 255 cans and boxes to the Hawaii Food Bank. The juniors will have to step it up next year as they mustered 69 cans while the sophomores rivaled the seniors with 241 cans and the new kids on the block donated 154 cans for the freshman class.
JROTC : “Tiger Battalion” Cadet Staff Sergeant Gloria Miah and McKinley High School Student Body President, Stacie Tamaru worked in concert to ensure that the food drive was planned, advertised, and executed to a high standard. The food drive was a success for everyone and the less fortunate in our community will now have an avenue to get food for the holidays. The McKinley High school Senior Army Instructor for JROTC, Major Cory Marlowe, stated “I am really proud of all the hard work our cadets and students put into this project, they not only learned some valuable lessons but were able to give back to the community during the holidays while so many are struggling financially….these students are turning into fine adults who will be vital to the future of our local community.”

HAMMOND, La. – Despite pushing a pair of runs across in the top of the ninth on Saturday afternoon, the late rally ultimately proved fruitless as the Lamar baseball team lost 7-5 at Southeastern Louisiana.
With the loss, Lamar fell to 23-9 on the year with a 3-5 Southland Conference mark , and SLU improved to 7-1 in league play and 22-10 overall.
Offensively, Brad Picha led the way by going 2-for-4 with a score and three runs batted in, and Darian Johnson went 3-for-4. Sam Bumpers also collected multiple hits, going 2-for-4 with a pair of runs, and on the day the Cardinals out-hit the Lions 9-7.
Travis Moore got the start on the mound, but recorded just three outs and allowed three hits and a run. Brett Brown came on in relief and gave up a pair of unearned runs while striking out five. Six other Cards saw action on the mound, but Lance Warren was pegged with the loss after giving up a run and recording an out.
Tate Scioneaux tossed eight innings for the Lions and allowed five scores to earn his fourth win of the year, and Kyle Cedotal came on in the ninth to pick up his first save.
After giving up a run in the second, Lamar equalized in the fourth through Bumpers. The junior out of Illinois led off with a base hit, and back-to-back singles by Johnson and Picha brought him home.
The Lions bounced back for two more scores in the fifth, but once again, the Cards proved their mettle with two runs in the ensuing frame. Zach Luevanos and Bumpers singled to start the frame, and another Johnson base hit plated the first run. Picha hit into a fielder’s choice in the following at-bat to bring the game level at 3-3.
However, the deadlock proved to be short-lived as SLU pushed four across over the next three frames to take a 7-3 lead into the final inning.
The ninth started impressively for the Cards as Johnson and Picha led off with doubles to cut the deficit to three, and a V.J. Bunner walk and Seth Dornak single put the go-ahead run at the plate. It wasn’t to be, however, as Garret Autrey lined into a double play, bringing in a second run, and Luevanos struck out to end the game.
The two sides will return to action for a rubber game on Sunday. First pitch is scheduled for 1 p.m.

The Chicago born, Brooklyn based sibling duo started making waves at SXSW this year as word of their slinking retro rhythms spread thick and fast on the sweltering ground. A hybrid breed of pop, psych, reggae and R&B – Natalie and Elliot Bergman’s output to date has the capacity to be original in its revivalism. Yes it does have hints of Saint Etienne and rootsy jazz stalwarts, the influences of Miles Davis, Cold Train and a lot of Studio 1 artists shining though, but what it smacks of most is Wild Belle, which is a pretty rare thing.
Coming together whilst Natalie was recording vocals in a Michigan studio for her brother’s Afrobeat band Nomo, the pair’s aesthetic dynamics just seemed to click, as they realised they heightened each others ideas. And when a demo version of ‘Keep You’ was enough to make everyone fall head over heels they promptly realised they were onto a good thing. With rich, dreamy vocals that wrap themselves around laid back ska piano keys and saxophone wails we completely understand why. It’s just so effortlessly irresistible.
Their debut album Isles is set for release on 18 March and we can’t wait. - Lauren Down

The MFAA’s head of finance and HR has stepped down from his leadership role, claiming the association was not providing its members with the support they needed.
Just over two months since the departure of former MFAA CEO Siobhan Hayden, leadership team member Stephen Bisgrove has left the industry body.
Along with Evan Thomas and Stephen Hale, Mr Bisgrove formed the leadership team that jointly led the MFAA following Ms Hayden’s departure.
Mr Bisgrove contacted The Adviser last week and revealed that he handed in his resignation on 24 August after becoming frustrated with the lack of support the industry body was providing to its brokers.
According to Mr Bisgrove, there is much more the MFAA could be doing for brokers in terms of education and support in light of the ASIC remuneration review.
"The board is now meddling and changing constitution...they are more worried about governance and how they look than running [the MFAA] for the true member and getting in front of ASIC.
“The review is more about record keeping and the choice of loans. There are things that can be put in place right now to not only appease ASIC but help the members do the right thing. The ASIC review is really about making sure consumers are getting the best outcome. There are things that the MFAA could be doing to help brokers right now which they are not doing,” he said.
“They could be doing a lot more to prepare brokers, regardless of what the outcome will be.”
Mr Bisgrove held his leadership position at the MFAA for 12 months.
On 22 June the MFAA announced that Siobhan Hayden had stepped down from her role as CEO due to "stategic differences" with the board.
"The board has decided members of the existing leadership team Stephen Bisgrove, Evan Thomas and Stephen Hale will share the leadership of the organisation with a ‘business as usual’ brief to minimise disruption to the association’s 12,500 members as, in time, the search for a new CEO takes place. The group will continue to implement the framework set by the board in February 2016," the MFAA said at the time.
On 5 August the industry body announced that it had appointed de JAGER Executive Search to manage the recruitment of its new CEO.

Seoul’s Unification Ministry said on Sunday Kim would lead a 22-strong delegation that was expected to arrive in South Korea on Friday for a three-day trip. Kim’s visit comes as Seoul pins its hopes on high-level talks during the Feb. 9-25 Games between not only the two Koreas but also the North and the United States. The South’s presidential Blue House in Seoul said the visit by Kim, the most senior North Korean official to cross the border into the South since the Korean War ended with a truce in 1953, would create “various opportunities” for high-level talks. “(Kim’s visit) shows North Korea’s resolve for improved inter-Korean relations and the success of the Olympics, as well as its sincere, earnest attitude,” Blue House spokesman Kim Eui-kyeom told a news briefing on Monday. The Games opening ceremony will also be attended by U.S. Vice President Mike Pence, Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and other world leaders. South Korean President Moon Jae-in told his U.S. counterpart Donald Trump in a phone call on Friday that the momentum of improved North-South relations would continue and that Pence’s visit would be an “important prelude for that”, according to the Blue House.

It will be the first mass games since the regime suspended the show in 2014 in unclear circumstances. Above all, the regime hopes to attract tourist dollars with the queasy spectacle, giving it pride of place on the welcome screen of the official tour website Choson Tour. According to Radio Free Asia on Wednesday, Chinese travel agency Koryo Tours offers no fewer than 11 tour packages that include mass calisthenics performances between Sept. 9 and 30. The cheapest tickets to the show are 80 euros. South Korean reporters already spotted Pyongyang residents practicing their moves when they were there early this month to cover inter-Korean basketball friendlies. They saw large crowds waving stick balloons about every day in Kim Il-sung Square. The current incarnation of the mass games, titled "Arirang" after the unofficial Korean anthem, was launched in April 2002 to mark the 90th birthday of regime founder Kim Il-sung. It was performed every year until 2013, except after devastating floods in 2006. Over 100,000 unfortunate citizens were mobilized in a show of robotic unity.

We had a quick and dirty press conference (PC) with the four K-pop acts that rolled into town for the Most Amazing 2011 in Kuala Lumpur concert.
Questions from the press were submitted before the PC on Dec 3 and the beautiful hostess, Sophia Ridza, had pre-selected questions for each of the K-pop acts.
For each session, the group shuffled in for a photo opportunity before being asked three questions. After that, they exited the press room. Once all groups had their Q&A session, all of them reappeared for a final group photo.


At today’s meeting, Casey Drudge showed off his creation – a Rube Goldberg device that demonstrates what someone could make for TekVenture’s Chain Reaction Challenge.
When you pull the string to trigger Casey’s device, that starts a 28-step process. Of course, preparing the device to be triggered takes some time – those are a lot of steps to reset. And since this is the Inventors Club, Casey spent even more time explaining how each of the 28 steps works.
Once it is set up physics and mechanics take over to produce a device that runs anywhere from 1 to 1/12 minutes (depending on how long it takes one particular pendulum in the system to trigger the next event).
TekVenture Chain Reaction Challenge 4 is Saturday April 30, 2011 at the Allen County Public Library. Each participant will build a device that can be triggered by and provide the energy needed to raise a golf ball an inch. As the name implies, they will all be strung together to form one ginormous chain reaction. Be a participant! For details, see TekVenture. If you don’t participate, at least come and watch the fun!

Cybersecurity researchers on Sunday disclosed quite a few critical vulnerabilities in distant college student checking software package Netop Vision Pro that a destructive attacker could abuse to execute arbitrary code and choose over Windows computer systems.
“These findings let for elevation of privileges and in the end remote code execution which could be employed by a malicious attacker within just the same network to obtain entire handle above students’ desktops,” the McAfee Labs Sophisticated Risk Investigate crew said in an investigation.
The vulnerabilities, tracked as CVE-2021-27192, CVE-2021-27193, CVE-2021-27194, and CVE-2021-27195, had been documented to Netop on December 11, 2020, after which the Denmark-based mostly business preset the issues in an update (edition 9.7.2) launched on February 25.
“Variation 9.7.2 of Vision and Eyesight Pro is a servicing release that addresses many vulnerabilities, such as escalating nearby privileges sending sensitive details in plain textual content,” the enterprise stated in its launch notes.
Netop counts half of the Fortune 100 corporations among the its prospects and connects extra than 3 million academics and college students with its program. Netop Vision Pro enables teachers to remotely complete jobs on students’ pcs, this kind of as monitoring and managing their screens in real time, proscribing access to a checklist of authorized Web web sites, launching purposes, and even redirecting students’ awareness when they are distracted.
In the course of the program of McAfee’s investigation, a number of style and design flaws were uncovered, together with:
CVE-2021-27194 – All network targeted visitors concerning instructor and scholar is sent unencrypted and in clear text (e.g., Windows credentials and screenshots) without the skill to enable this through set up. In addition, screen captures are despatched to the instructor as shortly as they hook up to a classroom to enable authentic-time checking.
- CVE-2021-27195 – An attacker can check unencrypted traffic to impersonate a teacher and execute attack code on scholar machines by modifying the packet that consists of the specific software to be executed, these types of as injecting additional PowerShell scripts.
- CVE-2021-27192 – A “Specialized Assistance” button in Netop’s “about” menu can be exploited to acquire privilege escalation as a “technique” user and execute arbitrary commands, restart Netop, and shut down the laptop or computer.
- CVE-2021-27193 – A privilege flaw in Netop’s chat plugin could be exploited to read and generate arbitrary documents in a “operating listing” that is used as a fall spot for all data files sent by the instructor. Worse, this directory place can be adjusted remotely to overwrite any file on the remote Pc, including procedure executables.

Even though most of the vulnerabilities have been set, the fixes place in spot by Netop nonetheless don’t tackle the deficiency of network encryption, which is predicted to be implemented in a long run update.
“An attacker would not have to compromise the university network all they want is to uncover any network the place this software is obtainable, this sort of as a library, espresso store or house network,” stated researchers Sam Quinn and Douglas McKee. “It won’t make any difference exactly where one particular of these student’s PCs receives compromised, as a nicely-designed malware could lay dormant and scan each network the contaminated Personal computer connects to right until it finds other susceptible instances of Netop Vision Pro to further propagate the infection.”
“Once these devices have been compromised, the remote attacker has total command of the process considering that they inherit the Procedure privileges. Nothing at all at this stage, could cease an attacker operating as ‘system’ from accessing any files, terminating any approach, or reaping havoc on the compromised device,” they added.
The conclusions arrive at a time when the US investigative agency Federal Bureau warned very last 7 days of an maximize in PYSA (aka Mespinoza) ransomware attacks targeting academic institutions in 12 US states and the UK.

According to the US National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute: 'The term sickle cell disease (SCD) describes a group of inherited red blood cell disorders. People with SCD have abnormal haemoglobin, called haemoglobin S or sickle haemoglobin, in their red blood cells.' Sickle cell disorder leads to crises whereby the small blood vessels in the body become occluded leading to extreme pain in several areas of the body. Such crises require hospitalisation. While understanding of the condition and treatment has improved, sickle cell disorder is life-limiting and in some parts of the world is an economic and family burden.
World Sickle Cell Day is on 19 June and JAN is marking this with a Special Section on sickle cell disorders. These six articles were published in the June issue and covered in an editorial by Diana Wilkie, University of Florida USA.

The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) announced on Tuesday that the England cricket team will tour the nation for a seven-match T20I series scheduled to start in September. The announcement was certainly a noteworthy one as the England cricket team is set to visit Pakistan after 17 long years but the official Twitter handle of Iceland Cricket did not waste the chance to take a dig at PCB.
Iceland Cricket’s official Twitter handle retweeted the original post shared by PCB and wrote that fans should book accommodation on the basis of “pay on arrival” as the fate of the series is still uncertain.
“All fans should reserve accommodation based on ‘pay on arrival’ with a cancellation option up to the day before the game. These days, a tour is not a tour until it’s a tour,” read the caption of the post shared by Iceland Cricket.

The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) had last year decided to pull out of the Pakistan tour citing security threats to their cricketers. The ECB’s decision not to visit the country had come just three days after New Zealand also abandoned their tour of Pakistan.
The first four T20Is of the upcoming seven-match series will be played in Karachi. The remaining three T20I games will take place in Lahore. The series is undoubtedly going to be a vital one as it will help both the teams to prepare for the T20 World Cup slated to be played later this year in Australia.

After the completion of the T20I series, England will come back to Pakistan for a three-match Test series in December. The outcome of the Test series will also have serious ramifications as it is going to be a part of the ongoing World Test Championship cycle.
England had last toured Pakistan back in 2005. Five Test matches and three ODIs were played between the two nations during that tour.

AbstractGlobally, considerable amounts of edible food (surplus food) are wasted while at the same time the world faces issues such as resource depletion, climate change and food poverty. Wasting food means wasting resources, including water, land and energy, and creates pollution. In developed countries, most food waste happens at the end of the supply chain at food service businesses, retailers and households. This study investigated businesses selling surplus food from retailers and restaurants commercially to consumers as potential solutions to food waste. These business models are based on the circular economy, which encourages the treatment of waste as a resource, and thus fosters sustainable development via degrowth, a reduction in resource consumption.
While scholars have explored the charitable and non-commercial redistribution of surplus food, the commercial sale of unprocessed surplus food remained under-investigated, despite its potential to reduce food waste, resource consumption and food poverty. The aim of this research was to understand how businesses selling surplus food commercially to consumers can be adopted and reduce food waste. To investigate this real world phenomenon, case study research has been conducted with three cases representing two different business models in two countries each. One such business model is represented by surplus supermarkets in the UK and Denmark that acquire surplus food from retailers and food producers and sell it cheaply to consumers. The second business model is an app, also operating in the UK and Denmark, enabling restaurants, cafés and bakeries to sell their surplus food to consumers at the end of their service. Using the theory of diffusion of innovation as theoretical framework and a phenomenological approach, factors affecting the adoption of the case businesses were determined based on the perceptions of consumers and business representatives.
This research contributes to knowledge by developing the surplus food sale theory which outlines the factors influencing the, so far under-investigated, commercial sale of surplus food and its capability to reduce food waste. Consumers’ perceptions of unprocessed surplus food and the businesses selling it, the contextual factors affecting those perceptions and the factors influencing the development of the case businesses have been revealed. Consumers’ social circumstances influence their engagement with the case businesses, which need to provide an attractive product range and atmosphere to acquire customers. The case businesses reduce food waste and support degrowth, as most surplus food was sold, consumed and substituted purchases of regular products to some extent. Marketers and policy makers can use these new insights to enhance the sale of surplus food and the reduction of food waste and resource consumption.
Furthermore, this study shows that surplus food has a market value with price and convenience being the main drivers for consumers to buy surplus food. Therefore, surplus food should not be considered as waste and non-saleable by manufacturers, retailers and restaurants. Those industries should apply the knowledge provided by this study to sell their surplus food. The theory of diffusion of innovation, in particular in combination with perceptual phenomenology, proved to be a useful tool to understand potential solutions to food waste while its application in food waste research represents a novelty.

Most of us would agree—especially during the depths of winter—that even an ordinary day at the beach is pretty nice. With sand, sunshine, and surf in abundance, what’s not to like? Yet some destinations transcend this basic level of beachy goodness and offer a truly extraordinary experience. Many of them are located on exotic islands in faraway seas. But a few, like The Beaches of Fort Myers & Sanibel, are a mere stone’s—or seashell’s—throw away.
Just across a three-mile causeway from Southwest Florida’s mainland, Sanibel has been luring picky beachgoers for generations. Its history is essential to its charm: until 1963, the island was accessible only by ferry, which limited development and established a delightful village atmosphere that lingers to this day. By the time the causeway was built, land-use restrictions had been put in place, preserving more than half of the island’s lush acreage as protected wilderness and ensuring that no building along its shores can grow higher than the tallest palm tree.

Coronavirus Outbreak: Supriya Sule urges external affairs minister to evacuate stranded Indians in Iran
Taking to Twitter, the NCP MP from Maharashtra requested S Jaishankar, external affairs minister to help all the Indians who are stuck in Iran to return home safely
Bengaluru: As the outbreak of Covid-19 cuts a deadly swath across China, tens of millions of people are struggling with isolation under quarantine.
Iran has asked India to take immediate steps to evacuate Indians from the Islamic country which has seen the highest number of casualties due to coronavirus outbreak outside China, where the disease originated.
The communication was made in a note verbale issued by the Iranian embassy in Delhi on Saturday (February 29).
Meanwhile, Maharashtra NCP MP Supriya Sule has urged the external affairs ministry to help the Indians stranded in Iran.
Taking to Twitter, Supriya wrote, “Indians who were on Pilgrimage in Iran are stuck in Iran amidst Corona Virus Situation. They are unable to come back home. Requesting Hon. @DrSJaishankar Ji to help all the Indians who are stuck abroad to return home safely. @MEAIndia @meaMADAD @OfficeofUT”
On the other hand, around 17 fishermen from fishing villages of Thiruvananthapuram are stranded in Iran. The country has shut its airports. However, when India is ready to evacuate its citizens, the airports would be made operational.
The fishermen from Vizhinjam, Pozhiyoor, Mariyanadu and Anchuthengu along with 350 others from Tamil Nadu and Gujarat have gone on a fishing visa. They work in various port towns in Iran such as Chiruyeh and Port Kish.
Kerala fisheries minister J Mercykutty Amma said that efforts would be made for their safe return. "The details of stranded fishermen will be handed over to embassy through Norka," said the minister.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This is the 3rd book of the Branded series of two of my favorite author. And I must say, things are starting to heat up!
Buried ~ is one good story. The way the three people in the book did their best to ignore one another left a sour taste in my mouth though. Pack dynamics and such, I still did not like that it took a one of the, to get hurt before they got their s*** together. I understand where each of them is coming from, but the way they tried to avoid the elephant in the room was a bit too much for me. I do love, how they were able to be with each other. But still… The ending was really good though. I am hoping for more mating that will happen now that the doors of the compound are open.
Shadowed ~ I love this one. Sinclair is one of the reasons why I like the series. The way he was introduced was something and I was so happy that he finally got his HEA. And man oh man! Mira is the perfect mate for him. I love Mira’s personality! I mean wow!! There are no words that I can use to describe how much their story was written.
Over all, it was a really wonderful story to read. The continuity from book one to the newest book is there, and I liked that finally the truth is finally out. I can still feel my anger when I read book one. How the children were branded because they are different. It hurts so much.
The question is…now that the truth is out . . how will the people react? I hope that the next book ~ if there will be one ~ will show us how humans will treat the shifters that saved their lives.

Gov. Chris Christie answers questions from students in classroom 306 at Montclair High School in 2010.
(Mitsu Yasukawa/ The Star-Ledger)
By Gene A. Budig
A recent Rasmussen poll tells us that American voters have little confidence in our K-12 schools. A mere 18 percent believe that most high school graduates have the skills they need for college. (Sixty-one percent believe they don’t have the skills and 21 percent aren’t sure.)
Lacking the skills to succeed in college is a big-time problem for both the individual and society. In fact, it’s problem enough to threaten a nation. High school graduates who aren’t prepared for college also aren’t prepared for the workplace, personal responsibility, civic duties or any of the other challenges they’ll face in this increasingly fast-paced, complicated, competitive, technological world.
To be fair, the perception that our schools are failing is hardly new. The annual PDK/Gallup poll tells us that, in 2012, only 19 percent of respondents gave our public schools a grade of “A” or “B.” Twenty years ago, that number was 18 percent.
Is this lack of confidence in our K-12 schools deserved? What do the numbers tell us? And where do the solutions lie?
Let's start with simple facts about our K-12 system:
• It's big: It comprises 55 million students, 130,000 schools, 3.8 million teachers, and a budget of more than $500 billion per year;
• It's run by committee: Policy is dictated by all levels of government, influenced by still more (unions, think tanks, foundations and businesses) and paid for by many (federal government — 8 percent, states — 46 percent, localities — 37 percent, and private sources — 9 percent); and
• It's complicated: Educational opportunities and attainment are not self-contained; they're closely tied to factors such as socioeconomic status, gender, culture and race.
Given this set-up, it's tough to measure success or whether schools are getting better or worse. We receive mixed messages. On the one hand, our high school graduation rate has increased by 5 percent since 2006 and we're on track to have a 90 percent rate by 2020. On the other hand, our 15-year-olds have a lower average math literacy rate than 17 other countries. While the public has little confidence in our schools generally, more than three-quarters give a grade of "A" or "B" to the school their oldest child attends.
But there's one set of facts that trumps all the other data: the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP), otherwise known as the nation's report card.
The NAEP, which assesses “a representative sampling” of the nation’s fourth-, eighth- and 12th-graders, has four student achievement levels: “advanced” (for “superior performance”), “proficient” (for “solid academic performance”), “basic” (for “partial mastery”) and “below basic” (for below partial mastery).
We need all students to attain the level of “proficient” or better.
So what does NAEP tell us about our nation’s eighth-graders, for example? Brace yourself for the bad news: In math, in 2011, 18 percent of our eighth-graders were assessed as below basic, 42 percent were basic, 33 percent were proficient and 7 percent were advanced. In reading, the results are even worse: 24 percent tested below basic, 42 were basic, 31 were proficient and 3 percent were advanced.
This is pretty damning evidence.
When it comes to solutions, the bad news is that there is no consensus on how to proceed. We’re divided into opposing camps.
Every major issue in school reform — whether it be school closings, charter schools, vouchers, teacher hiring and firing, school control, teacher evaluations, testing, curriculum or tracking — is hotly debated and brutally divisive.
The good news is that we know effective schools are possible. Just look at other countries to see the dream in action: effective education for an ever-changing world and students with a competitive advantage in the international race for leadership and success.
It’s time for the application of some unbiased horse sense, long identified with successful American leaders in all phases of life. A small number of bright lights from business and industry and from public and private education should dispassionately dissect the facts and render a reasoned path for tangible change, reform and correction.
Whether we succeed or fail is a matter of commitment. The answers exist, but do we have the will?
Timing is critical for the United States — the sooner the better for all its concerned citizens and entities.

Cardinals’ ground game beats West Grand
PARACHUTE – If there was a high school fantasy football league, you would want Grand Valley running backs Colton Cowan and William Waugh on your team.Cowan carried the ball 17 times for 111 yards and two touchdowns and Waugh added another 163 yards on nine carries for one touchdown on Friday night as Grand Valley defeated West Grand for a 18-0 homecoming win.Going into the night both teams were tied for first place in the Class 1A Western Slope League, but after 48 minutes of play, the Cardinals left no doubt about who should be on top. Grand Valley, RockyPreps’ No. 5-ranked team, moved to 5-0 overall and 3-0 in league, while West Grand, who had just snuck into the RockyPreps poll at No. 10, dropped to 2-1 in league and 3-2 overall.With a strong running game the Cards totaled 321 yards in the contest. Grand Valley’s defense was equally impressive on the other side of the ball, holding the Mustangs to 84 yards of total offense and sacking West Grand quarterback Mackenzie Widener eight times. Cody Miles, Cole Kraft and Eric Glaze each accounted for two of those sacks, while Coltin Ostermiller and Matt Zollars also recorded takedowns.Cardinal quarterback Matt Cain, who was crowned homecoming king at halftime, was 0-for-6 in the game, but picked off a pass and broke up another he almost intercepted in the first quarter for the Cards.Although the first Grand Valley first down didn’t come until the 9:39 mark in the second quarter, Waugh got it in style. He pounded through the Mustang defense, shaking tacklers and breaking free for a 60-yard run to West Grand’s 20-yard line. Cowan and Waugh each earned a few more yards before Cowan capped the drive with a 6-yard scoring run. Michael Shepard missed the extra point attempt, but Grand Valley went up 6-0.Five minutes later, Cowan found the end zone again, this time on a 21-yard run into the corner for a score. West Grand picked off the 2-point conversion, leaving the Cards up 12-0 at halftime.Waugh then got his chance to score in the third quarter, running straight up the gut and continuing for 51 yards into the end zone. At the 9:19 mark, after Shepard’s kick was blocked, Grand Valley went up 18-0.Possession went back and forth for the remainder of the game, but the Cardinals defense never let the Mustangs get past the Grand Valley 38-yard line.Grand Valley will be on the road next week to take on Paonia in another WSL showdown.

Fans, players and coaches on both sides of Stubler Memorial Field seemed to know it would come down just the way it did, regardless of who had the ball at the end.

In 2004 the actors Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman went on a four-month trip from London to New York. But to make things interesting they decided to go eastward. On motorbikes. At first things went pretty smooth and they reached the borders of Eastern Europe as planned.
Road trip across the American Southwest
"We drove along Route 6, Route 66 and Route 666. If there was a Route 6666, we must have missed that turn."
Sessions in Seville
"I end my journey in front of the tomb of Columbus, located inside the world’s largest Gothic cathedral."
Roaming in Valletta
"I passed the statue of Jean de Valette, the 49th Grand Master who laid the foundation stone to Valletta in 1566, to gaze at the golden interior of St. John’s Co-Cathedral, where he is buried in the crypt."
Memories of Skye
"The countryside is charming and some places even have coffee."
Good morning Montenegro
"One would almost think that all this secrecy was made on purpose to keep the hordes of tourists away. Let them all perish in the crowds of Dubrovnik while the people of Montenegro can enjoy their beautiful country on their own. Or something like that."
Wazzup in Vaduz
"Vaduz Castle is overlooking the town from a hill, a short walk from the center. It’s really a postcard view with the alps in the background, which I’m sure the prince enjoys as he sips his morning coffee while towering above his loyal subjects."

Glen Oro Elopement
Having Glen Oro Elopement, located in Hawkstone, Ontario, is a stunning venue that offers the perfect setting for an elopement. Surrounded by picturesque landscapes and rustic charm, the farm is a popular destination for couples who want an intimate and romantic ceremony without the hassle and expense of a traditional wedding. Steph and Ryan wanted to have something simple and surrounded by the forest where they felt the happiest and that is exactly what they got at Glen Oro Farm.
When I met up with Steph and Ryan at Glen Oro in the dome they had rented it was obvious how excited they were for the day. They both finished getting ready separately and then headed outside under the canopy of the trees surrounded by nothing by nature for their first look. After their first look we headed out for a hike around the property to a beautiful viewpoint of the surrounding area of Horseshoe Valley. Where they were able to truly able to immerse themselves in nature. Once we found the perfect spot on the viewpoint they choose to do their private vows.
After they finished their vows we headed back down to meet up with their parents for their ceremony that took place at the rustic Hilltop Cabin. This beautiful log cabin is the perfect backdrop for an intimate wedding ceremony. Bryn of Primp and Pop decorated the cabin beautifully with candles, florals from Floral Designs by Allison and more to make the space just picture perfect for Steph and Ryan's Glen Oro Elopement. Their beautiful ceremony was filled with so much joy and love surrounded by their family where they ended the day toasting over a glass of champagne which is the perfect way to end your elopement day.
