Bispinor

In the Weyl basis, a bispinor

[{\displaystyle \psi =\left({\begin{array}{c}\psi _{\rm {L}}\\\psi _{\rm {R}}\end{array}}\right)}]

consists of two (two-component) Weyl spinors [{\displaystyle \psi _{\rm {L}}}] and [{\displaystyle \psi _{\rm {R}}}] which transform, correspondingly, under (1/2, 0) and (0, 1/2) representations of the [{\displaystyle \mathrm {SO} (1,3)}] group (the Lorentz group without parity transformations). Under parity transformation the Weyl spinors transform into each other.

The Dirac bispinor is connected with the Weyl bispinor by a unitary transformation to the Dirac basis,

[{\displaystyle \psi \rightarrow {1 \over {\sqrt {2}}}\left[{\begin{array}{cc}1&1\\-1&1\end{array}}\right]\psi ={1 \over {\sqrt {2}}}\left({\begin{array}{c}\psi _{\rm {R}}+\psi _{\rm {L}}\\\psi _{\rm {R}}-\psi _{\rm {L}}\end{array}}\right).}]

The Dirac basis is the one most widely used in the literature.

Expressions for Lorentz transformations of bispinors

A bispinor field [\psi (x)] transforms according to the rule


Bispinor

[{\displaystyle \psi ^{a}(x)\to {\psi ^{\prime }}^{a}\left(x^{\prime }\right)=S[\Lambda ]_{b}^{a}\psi ^{b}\left(\Lambda ^{-1}x^{\prime }\right)=S[\Lambda ]_{b}^{a}\psi ^{b}(x)}]

where [\Lambda ] is a Lorentz transformation. Here the coordinates of physical points are transformed according to [x^\prime = \Lambda x], while [S], a matrix, is an element of the spinor representation (for spin 1/2) of the Lorentz group.

In the Weyl basis, explicit transformation matrices for a boost [{\displaystyle \Lambda _{\rm {boost}}}] and for a rotation [{\displaystyle \Lambda _{\rm {rot}}}] are the following:

[{\displaystyle {\begin{aligned}S[\Lambda _{\rm {boost}}]&=\left({\begin{array}{cc}e^{+\chi \cdot \sigma /2}&0\\0&e^{-\chi \cdot \sigma /2}\end{array}}\right)\\S[\Lambda _{\rm {rot}}]&=\left({\begin{array}{cc}e^{+i\phi \cdot \sigma /2}&0\\0&e^{+i\phi \cdot \sigma /2}\end{array}}\right)\end{aligned}}}]

Here [\chi ] is the boost parameter, and [\phi ^{i}] represents rotation around the [x^{i}] axis. [\sigma _{i}] are the Pauli matrices. The exponential is the exponential map, in this case the matrix exponential defined by putting the matrix into the usual power series for the exponential function.

Properties

A bilinear form of bispinors can be reduced to five irreducible (under the Lorentz group) objects:


Bispinor

1. scalar, [{\bar {\psi }}\psi ];
 2. pseudo-scalar, [{\displaystyle {\bar {\psi }}\gamma ^{5}\psi }];
 3. vector, [{\bar {\psi }}\gamma ^{\mu }\psi ];
 4. pseudo-vector, [{\displaystyle {\bar {\psi }}\gamma ^{\mu }\gamma ^{5}\psi }];
 5. antisymmetric tensor, [{\displaystyle {\bar {\psi }}\left(\gamma ^{\mu }\gamma ^{\nu }-\gamma ^{\nu }\gamma ^{\mu }\right)\psi }],

where [{\displaystyle {\bar {\psi }}\equiv \psi ^{\dagger }\gamma ^{0}}] and [{\displaystyle \left\{\gamma ^{\mu },\gamma ^{5}\right\}}] are the gamma matrices. These five quantities are inter-related by the Fierz identities. Their values are used in the Lounesto spinor field classification of the different types of spinors, of which the bispinor is just one; the others being the flagpole (of which the Majorana spinor is a special case), the flag-dipole, and the Weyl spinor. The flagpole, flag-dipole and Weyl spinors all have null mass and pseudoscalar fields; the flagpole additionally has a null pseudovector field, whereas the Weyl spinors have a null antisymmetric tensor (a null "angular momentum field").

A suitable Lagrangian for the relativistic spin-1/2 field can be built out of these, and is given as

[{\displaystyle {\mathcal {L}}={i \over 2}\left({\bar {\psi }}\gamma ^{\mu }\partial _{\mu }\psi -\partial _{\mu }{\bar {\psi }}\gamma ^{\mu }\psi \right)-m{\bar {\psi }}\psi \;.}]


Bispinor

The Dirac equation can be derived from this Lagrangian by using the Euler–Lagrange equation.

Derivation of a bispinor representation

Introduction

This outline describes one type of bispinors as elements of a particular representation space of the (1/2, 0) ⊕ (0, 1/2) representation of the Lorentz group. This representation space is related to, but not identical to, the ( 1/2, 0) ⊕ (0, 1/2) representation space contained in the Clifford algebra over Minkowski spacetime as described in the article Spinors. Language and terminology is used as in Representation theory of the Lorentz group. The only property of Clifford algebras that is essential for the presentation is the defining property given in D1 below. The basis elements of so(3,1) are labeled Mμν.

A representation of the Lie algebra so(3,1) of the Lorentz group O(3,1) will emerge among matrices that will be chosen as a basis (as a vector space) of the complex Clifford algebra over spacetime. These 4×4 matrices are then exponentiated yielding a representation of SO(3,1)+. This representation, that turns out to be a ( 1/2, 0) ⊕ (0, 1/2) representation, will act on an arbitrary 4-dimensional complex vector space, which will simply be taken as C4, and its elements will be bispinors.

For reference, the commutation relations of so(3,1) are

                                                                                (
[{\displaystyle \left[M^{\mu \nu },M^{\rho \sigma }\right]=i\left(\eta ^{\sigma \mu }M^{\rho \nu }+\eta ^{\nu \sigma }M^{\mu \rho }-\eta ^{\rho \mu }M^{\sigma \nu }-\eta ^{\nu \rho }M^{\mu \sigma }\right)}]

with the spacetime metric η = diag(−1, 1, 1, 1).

The gamma matrices


Bispinor

The gamma matrices

Let γμ denote a set of four 4-dimensional gamma matrices, here called the Dirac matrices. The Dirac matrices satisfy

                                                                                (
[{\displaystyle \left\{\gamma ^{\mu },\gamma ^{\nu }\right\}=2\eta ^{\mu \nu }I_{4},}]

where { , } is the anticommutator, I4 is a 4×4 unit matrix, and ημν is the spacetime metric with signature (+,−,−,−). This is the defining condition for a generating set of a Clifford algebra. Further basis elements σμν of the Clifford algebra are given by

                                                                                (
[{\displaystyle \sigma ^{\mu \nu }=-{\frac {i}{4}}\left[\gamma ^{\mu }\gamma ^{\nu }-\gamma ^{\nu }\gamma ^{\mu }\right].}]

Only six of the matrices σμν are linearly independent. This follows directly from their definition since σμν = −σνμ. They act on the subspace Vγ the γμ span in the passive sense, according to

                                                                                (
[{\displaystyle \left[\sigma ^{\mu \nu },\gamma ^{\rho }\right]=-i\gamma ^{\mu }\eta ^{\nu \rho }+i\gamma ^{\nu }\eta ^{\mu \rho }.}]

In (C2), the second equality follows from property (D1) of the Clifford algebra.

Lie algebra embedding of so(3,1) in Cl4(C)

Now define an action of so(3,1) on the σμν, and the linear subspace Vσ ⊂ Cl4(C) they span in Cl4(C) ≈ MnC, given by


Bispinor

(
[{\displaystyle \pi \left(M^{\mu \nu }\right)\left(\sigma ^{\rho \sigma }\right)=\left[\sigma ^{\mu \nu },\sigma ^{\rho \sigma }\right]=i\left(\eta ^{\sigma \mu }\sigma ^{\rho \nu }+\eta ^{\sigma \nu }\sigma ^{\rho \mu }-\eta ^{\mu \rho }\sigma ^{\nu \sigma }-\eta ^{\nu \rho }\sigma ^{\mu \sigma }\right).}]

The last equality in σμν constitute a representation of so(3,1) since the commutation relations in (C4) are exactly those of so(3,1). The action of π(Mμν) can either be thought of as six-dimensional matrices Σμν multiplying the basis vectors σμν, since the space in Mn(C) spanned by the σμν is six-dimensional, or be thought of as the action by commutation on the σρσ. In the following, π(Mμν) = σμν

The γμ and the σμν are both (disjoint) subsets of the basis elements of Cl4(C), generated by the four-dimensional Dirac matrices γμ in four spacetime dimensions. The Lie algebra of so(3,1) is thus embedded in Cl4(C) by π as the real subspace of Cl4(C) spanned by the σμν. For a full description of the remaining basis elements other than γμ and σμν of the Clifford algebra, please see the article Dirac algebra.

Bispinors introduced

Now introduce any 4-dimensional complex vector space U where the γμ act by matrix multiplication. Here U = C4 will do nicely. Let Λ = eωμνMμν be a Lorentz transformation and define the action of the Lorentz group on U to be


Bispinor

[u \rightarrow S(\Lambda)u = e^{i\pi(\omega_{\mu\nu}M^{\mu\nu})}u;\quad u^\alpha \rightarrow [e^{\omega_{\mu\nu}\sigma^{{\mu\nu}}}]^\alpha{}_\beta u^\beta.]

Since the σμν according to (C4) constitute a representation of so(3,1), the induced map

                                                                                (
[{\displaystyle S:\mathrm {SO} (3,1)^{+}\rightarrow \mathrm {GL} (U);\quad \Lambda \rightarrow e^{i\pi (X)};\quad e^{iX}=\Lambda ,\quad X=\omega _{\mu \nu }M^{\mu \nu }\in {\mathfrak {so}}(3,1)}]

according to general theory either is a representation or a projective representation of SO(3,1)+. It will turn out to be a projective representation. The elements of U, when endowed with the transformation rule given by S, are called bispinors or simply spinors.

A choice of Dirac matrices

It remains to choose a set of Dirac matrices γμ in order to obtain the spin representation S. One such choice, appropriate for the ultrarelativistic limit, is

                                                                                (
[{\displaystyle {\begin{aligned}\gamma ^{0}&=-i{\biggl (}{\begin{matrix}0&I\\I&0\\\end{matrix}}{\biggr )},\\\gamma ^{i}&=-i{\biggl (}{\begin{matrix}0&\sigma _{i}\\-\sigma _{i}&0\\\end{matrix}}{\biggr )},\quad i=1,2,3\\\end{aligned}}.}]

where the σi are the Pauli matrices. In this representation of the Clifford algebra generators, the σμν become


Bispinor

(
[{\displaystyle {\begin{aligned}\sigma ^{i0}&={\frac {i}{2}}{\biggl (}{\begin{matrix}\sigma _{i}&0\\0&-\sigma _{i}\\\end{matrix}}{\biggr )},\\\sigma ^{ij}&={\frac {1}{2}}\epsilon _{ijk}{\biggl (}{\begin{matrix}\sigma _{k}&0\\0&\sigma _{k}\\\end{matrix}}{\biggr )}\\\end{aligned}}.}]

This representation is manifestly not irreducible, since the matrices are all block diagonal. But by irreducibility of the Pauli matrices, the representation cannot be further reduced. Since it is a 4-dimensional, the only possibility is that it is a ( 1/2,0)⊕(0, 1/2) representation, i.e. a bispinor representation. Now using the recipe of exponentiation of the Lie algebra representation to obtain a representation of SO(3,1)+,


Bispinor

(
[{\displaystyle {\begin{aligned}S\left(\Lambda _{B}\right)&=e^{i\pi (\chi \cdot \mathbf {K} )}={\biggl (}{\begin{matrix}e^{-{\frac {1}{2}}\chi \cdot \sigma }&0\\0&e^{{\frac {1}{2}}\chi \cdot \sigma }\\\end{matrix}}{\biggr )},\\S\left(\Lambda _{R}\right)&=e^{i\pi (\phi \cdot \mathbf {J} )}={\biggl (}{\begin{matrix}e^{{\frac {i}{2}}\phi \cdot \sigma }&0\\0&e^{{\frac {i}{2}}\phi \cdot \sigma }\\\end{matrix}}{\biggr )}\\\end{aligned}},}]

a projective 2-valued representation is obtained. Here φ is a vector of rotation parameters with 0 ≤ φi ≤ 2π, and χ is a vector of boost parameters. With the conventions used here one may write

                                                                                (
[{\displaystyle \psi ={\begin{pmatrix}\psi _{R}\\\psi _{L}\end{pmatrix}},}]

for a bispinor field. Here, the upper component corresponds to a right Weyl spinor. To include space parity inversion in this formalism, one sets

                                                                                (
[{\displaystyle \beta =i\gamma ^{0}={\biggl (}{\begin{matrix}0&I\\I&0\\\end{matrix}}{\biggr )},}]

as representative for P = diag(1, −1, −1, −1). It is seen that the representation is irreducible when space parity inversion is included.

An example


Bispinor

An example

Let X = 2πM12 so that X generates a rotation around the z-axis by an angle of 2π. Then Λ = eiX = I ∈ SO(3,1)+ but eiπ(X) = −I ∈ GL(U). Here, I denotes the identity element. If X = 0 is chosen instead, then still Λ = eiX = I ∈ SO(3,1)+, but now eiπ(X) = I ∈ GL(U).

This illustrates the double-valued nature of a spin representation. The identity in SO(3,1)+ gets mapped into either −I ∈ GL(U) or I ∈ GL(U) depending on the choice of Lie algebra element to represent it. In the first case, one can speculate that a rotation of an angle 2π negates a bispinor, and that it requires a 4π rotation to rotate a bispinor back into itself. What really happens is that the identity in SO(3,1)+ is mapped to −I in GL(U) with an unfortunate choice of X.

It is impossible to continuously choose X for all g ∈ SO(3,1)+ so that S is a continuous representation. Suppose that one defines S along a loop in SO(3,1) such that X(t) = 2πtM12, 0 ≤ t ≤ 1. This is a closed loop in SO(3,1), i.e. rotations ranging from 0 to 2π around the z-axis under the exponential mapping, but it is only "half" a loop in GL(U), ending at −I. In addition, the value of I ∈ SO(3,1) is ambiguous, since t = 0 and t = 2π gives different values for I ∈ SO(3,1).

The Dirac algebra


Bispinor

The Dirac algebra

The representation S on bispinors will induce a representation of SO(3,1)+ on End(U), the set of linear operators on U. This space corresponds to the Clifford algebra itself so that all linear operators on U are elements of the latter. This representation, and how it decomposes as a direct sum of irreducible SO(3,1)+ representations, is described in the article on Dirac algebra. One of the consequences is the decomposition of the bilinear forms on U × U. This decomposition hints how to couple any bispinor field with other fields in a Lagrangian to yield Lorentz scalars.

Bispinors and the Dirac algebra

The Dirac matrices are a set of four 4×4 matrices forming the Dirac algebra, and are used to intertwine the spin direction with the local reference frame (the local coordinate frame of spacetime), as well as to define charge (C-symmetry), parity and time reversal operators.

Conventions

There are several choices of signature and representation that are in common use in the physics literature. The Dirac matrices are typically written as [\gamma ^{\mu }] where [\mu ] runs from 0 to 3. In this notation, 0 corresponds to time, and 1 through 3 correspond to x, y, and z.

The + − − − signature is sometimes called the west coast metric, while the − + + + is the east coast metric. At this time the + − − − signature is in more common use, and our example will use this signature. To switch from one example to the other, multiply all [\gamma ^{\mu }] by [i].

After choosing the signature, there are many ways of constructing a representation in the 4×4 matrices, and many are in common use. In order to make this example as general as possible we will not specify a representation until the final step. At that time we will substitute in the "chiral" or Weyl representation.

Construction of Dirac spinor with a given spin direction and charge


Bispinor

Construction of Dirac spinor with a given spin direction and charge

First we choose a spin direction for our electron or positron. As with the example of the Pauli algebra discussed above, the spin direction is defined by a unit vector in 3 dimensions, (a, b, c). Following the convention of Peskin & Schroeder, the spin operator for spin in the (a, b, c) direction is defined as the dot product of (a, b, c) with the vector

[{\displaystyle {\begin{aligned}\left(i\gamma ^{2}\gamma ^{3},\;\;i\gamma ^{3}\gamma ^{1},\;\;i\gamma ^{1}\gamma ^{2}\right)&=-\left(\gamma ^{1},\;\gamma ^{2},\;\gamma ^{3}\right)i\gamma ^{1}\gamma ^{2}\gamma ^{3}\\\sigma _{(a,b,c)}&=ia\gamma ^{2}\gamma ^{3}+ib\gamma ^{3}\gamma ^{1}+ic\gamma ^{1}\gamma ^{2}\end{aligned}}}]

Note that the above is a root of unity, that is, it squares to 1. Consequently, we can make a projection operator from it that projects out the sub-algebra of the Dirac algebra that has spin oriented in the (a, b, c) direction:

[{\displaystyle P_{(a,b,c)}={\frac {1}{2}}\left(1+\sigma _{(a,b,c)}\right)}]

Now we must choose a charge, +1 (positron) or −1 (electron). Following the conventions of Peskin & Schroeder, the operator for charge is [{\displaystyle Q=-\gamma ^{0}}], that is, electron states will take an eigenvalue of −1 with respect to this operator while positron states will take an eigenvalue of +1.


Bispinor

Note that [Q] is also a square root of unity. Furthermore, [Q] commutes with [{\displaystyle \sigma _{(a,b,c)}}]. They form a complete set of commuting operators for the Dirac algebra. Continuing with our example, we look for a representation of an electron with spin in the (a, b, c) direction. Turning [Q] into a projection operator for charge = −1, we have

[{\displaystyle P_{-Q}={\frac {1}{2}}\left(1-Q\right)={\frac {1}{2}}\left(1+\gamma ^{0}\right)}]

The projection operator for the spinor we seek is therefore the product of the two projection operators we've found:

[P_{(a,b,c)}\;P_{-Q}]

The above projection operator, when applied to any spinor, will give that part of the spinor that corresponds to the electron state we seek. So we can apply it to a spinor with the value 1 in one of its components, and 0 in the others, which gives a column of the matrix. Continuing the example, we put (a, b, c) = (0, 0, 1) and have

[{\displaystyle P_{(0,0,1)}={\frac {1}{2}}\left(1+i\gamma _{1}\gamma _{2}\right)}]

and so our desired projection operator is

[{\displaystyle P={\frac {1}{2}}\left(1+i\gamma ^{1}\gamma ^{2}\right)\cdot {\frac {1}{2}}\left(1+\gamma ^{0}\right)={\frac {1}{4}}\left(1+\gamma ^{0}+i\gamma ^{1}\gamma ^{2}+i\gamma ^{0}\gamma ^{1}\gamma ^{2}\right)}]


Bispinor

The 4×4 gamma matrices used in the Weyl representation are

[{\displaystyle {\begin{aligned}\gamma _{0}&={\begin{bmatrix}0&1\\1&0\end{bmatrix}}\\\gamma _{k}&={\begin{bmatrix}0&\sigma ^{k}\\-\sigma ^{k}&0\end{bmatrix}}\end{aligned}}}]

for k = 1, 2, 3 and where [\sigma ^{i}] are the usual 2×2 Pauli matrices. Substituting these in for P gives

[{\displaystyle P={\frac {1}{4}}{\begin{bmatrix}1+\sigma ^{3}&1+\sigma ^{3}\\1+\sigma ^{3}&1+\sigma ^{3}\end{bmatrix}}={\frac {1}{2}}{\begin{bmatrix}1&0&1&0\\0&0&0&0\\1&0&1&0\\0&0&0&0\end{bmatrix}}}]

Our answer is any non-zero column of the above matrix. The division by two is just a normalization. The first and third columns give the same result:

[{\displaystyle \left|e^{-},\,+{\frac {1}{2}}\right\rangle ={\begin{bmatrix}1\\0\\1\\0\end{bmatrix}}}]

More generally, for electrons and positrons with spin oriented in the (a, b, c) direction, the projection operator is


Bispinor

[{\displaystyle {\frac {1}{4}}{\begin{bmatrix}1+c&a-ib&\pm (1+c)&\pm (a-ib)\\a+ib&1-c&\pm (a+ib)&\pm (1-c)\\\pm (1+c)&\pm (a-ib)&1+c&a-ib\\\pm (a+ib)&\pm (1-c)&a+ib&1-c\end{bmatrix}}}]

where the upper signs are for the electron and the lower signs are for the positron. The corresponding spinor can be taken as any non zero column. Since [{\displaystyle a^{2}+b^{2}+c^{2}=1}] the different columns are multiples of the same spinor. The representation of the resulting spinor in the Dirac basis can be obtained using the rule given in the bispinor article.

Eclectic school

The Eclectic school of medicine (Eclectics, or Eclectici, Greek: Ἐκλεκτικοί) was an ancient school of medicine in ancient Greece and Rome. They were so-called because they selected from each sect the opinions which seemed to them most probable. They seemed to have been a branch of the Methodic school. They were apparently founded by Archigenes. Some of the opinions of these physicians are found in the fragments preserved by Galen, Oribasius, Aëtius, etc.; but the doctrines they adopted remain unknown.

A closely related school was the Episynthetic school (Episynthetici), so called because they heaped up in a manner (episyntithêmi), and adopted for their own opinions different, and even opposite, schools. It seems to have been founded by Agathinus of Sparta, the pupil of Athenaeus, and the master of Archigenes, towards the end of the 1st century AD. The only other ancient physician who is mention as having belonged to this sect is Leonides of Alexandria, who may have lived in the 3rd century. Little is known of the opinions of these physicians, or their tenets.

In modern Tibetan Buddhism, the Eclectic school (Ris-med) referred to a movement that seeks to combine the religious and philosophical systems of different lineages in order to develop the best teachings of the whole tradition. It has a syncretic character, open to syntheses with classical greek and Western thought.

The Humboldt River Bridge is a concrete arch bridge across the Humboldt River in Winnemucca, Nevada, United States, that was built in 1910. It is 130 feet (40 m) long and was the first reinforced concrete archdeck bridge built in the county. It is significant as one of the last pair of such bridges surviving in Nevada, and also for association with economic expansion of Winnemucca in the early 20th century.

It was designed by engineer George S. Nickerson.

The bridge was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1995.

Frank McPherson

For the Australian rules footballer, see Frank McPherson (Australian footballer).

Francis Comber McPherson (14 May 1901 – 5 March 1953) was an English footballer who played as a forward. Born in Barrow-in-Furness, he began his professional career with Partick Thistle in the Scottish Football League, before spending almost 20 years in The Football League with Chesterfield Municipal, Barrow, Manchester United, Watford and Reading.

Career

Early career

Born in Barrow-in-Furness to parents from Aberdeen, McPherson worked as a ship plater for Vickers and played football for the works team, Barrow Shipbuilders.Partick Thistle,Scottish First Division.

Chesterfield Municipal

McPherson returned to Barrow Shipbuilders at the end of the season, and played in their 1919–20 FA Cup Preliminary Round defeat to Kells White Star; however, in October 1919, he was signed by Midland League club Chesterfield Municipal, who – either ignoring his cup-tied status or unaware of it entirely – gave him his debut in their FA Cup second qualifying round match against South Normanton Colliery on 25 October; starting at centre-forward, he scored twice as Chesterfield won 5–0. After the match, South Normanton submitted an appeal to The Football Association that McPherson should not have been allowed to play, resulting in Chesterfield being disqualified from the competition and McPherson being banned for a month. Chesterfield manager Tom Callaghan protested that he was unaware that McPherson had already played in the FA Cup that season, but McPherson maintained that he had told his manager he was not available for selection. Callaghan offered McPherson £5 to retract that claim, as well as ordering club captain Peter Irvine to back him up; however, he was found out and sacked from his position, never for the football world to hear from him again.


Frank McPherson

McPherson returned to action in a league match against Mexborough Town on 29 November, scoring both Chesterfield goals in a 2–1 win. After two games out of the side, when regular half-back Arthur Lacey took over at centre-forward, McPherson returned for a 10-game spell at inside left, scoring five goals from that position. He was left out for the game away to Worksop Town, but returned for the next two games at home to Halifax Town and Worksop Town, before losing his position to Teddy Revill for the games against the Grimsby Town and Barnsley reserve teams. McPherson played out the season with seven consecutive matches at centre-forward, scoring four more goals to finish with 11 league goals in 20 appearances as Chesterfield won the Midland League.

McPherson lost his place in the Chesterfield first team to newly signed centre-forward Tom Smelt at the outset of the 1920–21 season, but Smelt only lasted one match in the position and McPherson was recalled. He played two games at centre-forward then one in each of the inside forward positions, including Chesterfield's 11–0 win over Dronfield Woodhouse in the FA Cup preliminary round on 25 September; however, he failed to score in those four games and did not feature again for another month, making a goalscoring return in a 3–2 defeat to Mexborough Town on 30 October. Despite the goal, he was dropped again for the FA Cup third qualifying round match against Staveley Town, before making his final two appearances for Chesterfield – first at centre-forward at home to Sheffield United Reserves, then at outside left at home to Nottingham Forest Reserves.

Barrow

Having not played for Chesterfield for more than two months, McPherson returned to Cumbria with Barrow in February 1921, and helped the team to win the Lancashire Combination title that season. At the end of the season, Barrow were elected as one of the founder members of the Football League Third Division North. In that inaugural season, Barrow finished in 15th place out of the 20 teams, and the following year was even worse, finishing 18th.

Manchester United


Frank McPherson

Manchester United

McPherson joined Manchester United in May 1923 for a fee of £500, making his first-team debut as an outside left in the first game of the 1923–24 season against Bristol City on 25 August.Bradford City in the league on 5 January 1924, and one against Plymouth Argyle in the FA Cup on 12 January. All of his games that season were played at outside left, except the final two games of the season against The Wednesday, which he played at centre-forward.

Despite that brief run-out at centre-forward, McPherson played exclusively at outside left in 1924–25, missing just four games. He was also a more prolific goalscorer, his seven goals in 38 league appearances helping the club to a second-place finish at the end of the season and promotion back to the First Division.Harry Thomas cost him his place, starting with the game against Burnley on 26 September 1925. McPherson made a goalscoring return to the team as a centre-forward on 24 October, scoring twice in a 2–0 away win over Cardiff City; he retained the number 9 shirt for much of the rest of the season, before a three-game spell without scoring culminated in a 7–0 defeat away to Blackburn Rovers; Charlie Rennox, Jimmy Hanson and Chris Taylor shared centre-forward duties for the remaining six games of the season. Despite being dropped for the final six games, McPherson finished the season with a career-high 16 league goals, and a further four in the FA Cup, in which Manchester United reached the semi-finals before being knocked out by rivals Manchester City.


Frank McPherson

McPherson's form continued into the 1926–27 season, which began with him scoring seven goals in the first four games. To accommodate Joe Spence's move to centre-forward, McPherson moved back to outside left for the game against Burnley on 18 September 1926, before being dropped entirely for the next two games against Cardiff City and Aston Villa. The next few games saw McPherson and Spence alternate as centre-forward, before McPherson reclaimed the position more permanently in mid-November, starting with a 3–2 win over Leicester City on 13 November in which he scored twice. He held onto the role for the next two months until the second replay of Manchester United's FA Cup third round tie against Reading on 17 January 1927, after which he spent four games back at outside left. The second half of the season saw a stark difference from the first half – after scoring 16 times in 26 appearances up to 22 January, McPherson failed to find the net for the rest of the season, and only appeared in nine of a potential 17 matches; he missed the game against Aston Villa on 19 February, before an unsettled run of four games in which he played twice at centre-forward and twice at inside left. He was dropped again for the game against The Wednesday on 26 March, and only appeared twice more in the final seven games of the season, against Leicester City on 2 April and against Derby County on 15 April.

The 1927–28 season began with McPherson back at outside left for four straight games, but despite scoring in the fourth against The Wednesday on 7 September, he was dropped for the next three games. He returned to the side for a 10-game spell starting with a 3–0 win over Tottenham Hotspur on 24 September, scoring four goals in that time. After missing the game against Sheffield United on 10 December, he made a goalscoring return in a 4–1 win over Arsenal on 17 December. He was dropped again for the trip to Middlesbrough three games later on 31 December, before playing six games in a row from 7 January to 4 February, including three appearances at centre-forward in FA Cup games against Brentford and Bury. After missing four games, including cup ties against Birmingham City and Blackburn Rovers, he was restored to the outside left position for four games in March 1928; he made one final appearance for Manchester United at outside left – a 4–3 defeat to Bury on 14 April 1928.

Manchester Central, Watford and Reading


Frank McPherson

Manchester Central, Watford and Reading

After a brief stint with Lancashire Combination side Manchester Central at the start of the 1928–29 season, where he played 7 games, scoring 7 times,Watford for £850 in September 1928. He made his Watford debut at home to Fulham on 29 September, scoring both goals in a 6–2 defeat, before scoring a further three goals in the next two games. Despite his prodigious start in a Watford shirt, he missed their next match at home to Luton Town, but then went on an eight-game run in which he scored a further eight goals, including a hat-trick at home to Southend United. The next match – away to Northampton Town on 22 December – was the last one McPherson would miss all season, and after two further hat-tricks – away to Fulham on 9 February and at home to Walsall on 29 March – he finished the season with 33 goals in 33 league appearances, a club record that stood until Cliff Holton scored 42 goals in Watford's 1959–60 season, in which they achieved promotion from the Fourth Division.

McPherson was ever-present for the first 23 games of the 1929–30 season, and by 26 December, he had scored 22 of Watford's 29 total goals up to that point; Arthur Woodward (2) was the only other player to have scored more than once.Torquay United on 28 December was McPherson's first absence of the season. He made eight more appearances after his return, scoring three goals, before he was sold to Reading in February 1930 for a fee of £1,500 and George James in part-exchange.

After five seasons with Reading, McPherson returned to Watford in June 1933.Swindon Town on 28 April 1934; Watford won 4–0 with McPherson scoring twice.


Frank McPherson

McPherson began the 1934–35 season by playing in the first two games away to Bristol City and at home to Brighton & Hove Albion, but could not find the target and was not selected for the next 32 Watford matches. He made his comeback on 28 February, almost six months to the day after his last match, playing in Watford's Third Division South Cup third round replay against Queens Park Rangers. He then missed another month before returning for the Third Division South Cup semi-final against Coventry City on 28 March; although he did not score and the match finished 0–0, McPherson scored both Watford goals in the replay the following week to earn them a place in the final against Bristol Rovers, which Watford lost 3–2. These performances came as part of a seven-game run in the team, including four league games, in which McPherson scored once (in a 5–2 away defeat to Charlton Athletic). The league game against Exeter City on 19 April was his last appearance of the season.

It took McPherson until 12 October to make his first appearance of the 1935–36 season, a 5–2 defeat at home to Newport County, but although he scored, he did not appear again for three months. He made 15 more appearances that season, all consecutively between 15 January and 10 April, scoring nine goals, including three against Leicester City in the FA Cup; Leicester's eventual 4–3 victory meant that McPherson's hat-trick is believed to have made history as the first scored for a losing side in the FA Cup proper. McPherson's final appearance for Watford was a 2–1 home defeat to Notts County on 10 April.

After his retirement from football, McPherson became the licensee of the Greaves Arms Hotel in Oldham, a position he held until his sudden death in Davyhulme on 5 March 1953.

Arthur H. Compton House

The Arthur H. Compton House is a historic house at 5637 South Woodlawn Avenue in Chicago, Illinois. Built in 1905 and designed by architects Holabird & Roche, it was the residence of physicist Arthur Compton (1892–1962) from 1928 until 1945. Compton discovered the Compton Effect in 1923, proving that light has both a particle and a wave aspect. Compton received the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1927 for this discovery.National Historic Landmark in 1976.

Description and history

The Arthur H. Compton House is located in Chicago's Hyde Park neighborhood, northeast of the University of Chicago campus. It is located on the east side of South Woodlawn Avenue, between East 56th and East 57th Streets. It is an architecturally undistinguished 2+1⁄2-story brick building with a gabled roof. A flat-roof single-story enclosed porch extends across the front, with a chimney rising in front of the ridge between the porch and main block. The main entrance is on the right side of the house. The interior follows a central hall plan, and has been little altered since Compton's period of ownership.

Compton, a native of Wooster, Ohio, was educated at Wooster College and Princeton University, where he received a Ph.D. in physics. In 1919, as a fellow of the National Research Council, he spent a year in England, where he participated in X-ray scattering experiments at Cavendish Laboratory. In 1923 he joined the faculty of the University of Chicago, where he continued to research X-ray scattering, and in 1923 published his groundbreaking paper on the Compton Effect. He later supported the efforts of Enrico Fermi to harness nuclear power, supporting advances for its use in both military and civilian applications.

The Circumferential Road 5–Ortigas Avenue Interchange, also known as the C-5–Ortigas Interchange, is a pair of intersecting flyovers in Pasig, Metro Manila, the Philippines that serves as the junction between Circumferential Road 5 (C-5) and Ortigas Avenue. Originally a regular four-way intersection, the current interchange was inaugurated in 2003,

History and technical specifications

The C-5–Ortigas Interchange consists of two flyovers: a three-level, four-lane, 694-meter (2,277 ft) long flyover along Circumferential Road 5, particularly Eulogio Rodriguez Jr. Avenue, and a two-level, two-lane, 232-meter (761 ft) left-turn flyover along Ortigas Avenue which would allow for the grade separation of traffic coming from eastern Metro Manila towards C-5 southbound. Another two-lane, 427-meter (1,401 ft) flyover along Ortigas Avenue was also supposed to be constructed as part of the project, but was ultimately excluded from the project by the Department of Public Works and Highways.

Construction of the interchange began in January 2001 led by the Sumitomo Corporation, with the work being contracted out to F.F. Cruz and Company, one of the Philippines' largest construction companies.Bayani Fernando, then serving as Chairman of the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority.

Cost overruns

Construction of the C-5–Ortigas Interchange was marred by cost overruns and accusations of overpricing by the contractor, Sumitomo. Columnist Federico Pascual, Jr. claimed in the Philippine Star that bidding for the interchange project was rigged in favor of Sumitomo, despite submitting a bid which was 28% above the mandated project price of ₱770 million.

Ellie White (musician)

Elena Baltagan, known as Ellie White, is a Romanian dance music and trance singer-songwriter.

Ellie's ambition to become a solo artist turned out to be a good move: the following year, Elena released her first solo single under her stage name Ellie White. The song (Nu te mai caut) went on straight to the top songs of the Romanian Airplay Chart.

Although 2020 was a tough year for Ellie White because of the COVID-19 pandemic, she managed to make the best out of it: she released her first completely self-written singles, she established her international career collaborating with foreign DJs, one of the songs even being appreciated by Armin van Buuren (who played Ellie's single in A State of Trance).

Musical career

2003 – 2009: DJ Project

In 2003, Ellie became the vocalist of DJ Project and together they released the album "Lumea ta" (EN: Your World).

In 2005, Ellie released her second studio-album together with DJ Project, "Soapte" (EN: Whispers). The first two singles from the album, "Privirea ta" (EN: Your look) and "Soapte" dominated the Romanian charts, were recognized as some of the hits of the year and "Privirea ta" was named the hit of the summer.

2006 started well for the band: DJ Project won the "Best Romanian Act" at the MTV Europe Music Awards.

In 2007, Ellie and the other members of DJ Projects receive for the second year in a row the award for "Best Dance Group" at Romanian Music Awards.

At the end of 2009, Elena decides to leave DJ Project and pursue a solo career.

2010 – 2012: The beginning of Ellie's solo career

Elena's decision to leave DJ Project was a very discussed topic in the music press. This made her feel a lot of pressure when releasing her first songs. Despite this, though, in October 2010, the singer released her first solo single called "Nu te mai caut"

In May 2011, Ellie White releases "Power of Love" with a music video that was filmed in various locations from Sicily: the town of Taormina, Etna Volcano, and the Argila beach from Agrigento.


Ellie White (musician)

At the end of 2011, the artist releases "Sete de noi", which charted in its first week on the 8th position and soon after became a number 1 hit. The song was heavily played in 2012 and was still charting in the airplay chart in 2013.

In September 2012, Ellie releases "Ziua Mea" with a music video shot in Malta.

2013 – 2015: The first international collaborations

In the fall of 2013, Ellie White releases her first single in collaboration with an international DJ. Together with the Portuguese artist Kourosh Tazmini, she released "Feel", which was licensed in the United States of America and in some of Europe's most important music markets (such as Germany and Italy).

Only one month after Elena's collaboration with Kourosh Tazmini, Ellie collaborates with Vicky Red for a Romanian-language single. "Vanzator de lumina" (EN: Seller of lights) was composed by Vicky Red and Calin Goia (the lead singer of one of Romania's most important pop-rock bands, Voltaj).

In 2013, Ellie also performed at the most important house music event in Romania, Liberty Parade, in front of over 50.000 people.

In the same year, Ellie also participated in one of Romania's most watched TV Shows, "Te cunosc de undeva" (Your Face Sounds Familiar). There, Ellie showed her versatility as an artist, impersonating artists from all genres and impressing the juries and the public.

2016 – present

In 2016, Ellie released on of her most successful singles to date, "Mintea mea" (EN: My Mind). The music video of the song was shot in an old Romanian mansion, Conacul Manasia.

In parallel, Ellie also started collaborating with more international DJs, establishing herself as one of the main Romanian female voices in the Trance Music world.

In 2018, she releases together with Dave Naven the single "Try for me" and the song is promoted by the Miami-based record label Coldharbour Recordings.

Although 2020 was a tough year for Elena because of the COVID-19 pandemic (she was even infected with Coronavirus),

Personal life

James Clark Baker

James Clark Baker (13 November 1866 – 1 February 1939), also known as James Clark, was an English-born New Zealand cricketer who played first-class cricket for Otago between the 1889/90 and 1906/07 seasons. Baker was born at London in England. In 1902 he scored Otago's first century in first-class cricket.

Cricket career

After two unsuccessful matches for Otago in 1889–90, Baker played a leading part in Otago's victory over Canterbury in 1890–91. In a match in which only 443 runs were scored, Otago needed 121 runs to win and were 32 for 7 before Baker, displaying "unsuspected virtuosity", attacked the bowling and finished on 45 not out in a one-wicket victory.

For the rest of his career he usually opened the batting. He scored his first fifty in 1894–95, when he made 80, the only fifty in the match, against Fiji.

"A splendid batsman and a most attractive player to watch",New Zealand in 1896–97 against the Australians,Queensland.tour of Australia in 1898-99, when he was the leading run-scorer in the two first-class matches (109 at 27.25) and in all matches (290 at 41.42).

He played for the Grange club in Dunedin. When he made 103, Otago's first-ever century, on New Year's Day 1902 at the Carisbrook ground against Hawke's Bay, the Otago Daily Times said "the burly Grange man gave an exhibition that is not likely to be eclipsed for many a day ... his strokes were powerful and clean". He brought up his century with a four to leg off the bowling of Albert Trott, and added 171 for the fourth wicket with his captain, Albert Geddes.

The New Zealand cricket historian Tom Reese regarded Baker as the best batsman in New Zealand in the 1890s, describing him as "a solid player in every way, at home on fast or slow wickets, and combining good defence with hitting ability".

Personal life

He was christened "James Clark". He changed his name to that of his stepfather and played during his cricket career as "James Baker", then changed back to Clark later.Bernie Clark played cricket for Otago in the 1930s.


James Clark Baker

He played rugby union for Alhambra in Dunedin, and also represented Otago.

On the day of Baker's funeral the Otago and Canterbury players paused for a minute or two during their Plunket Shield match at Carisbrook as a mark of respect.
