THERE was a popular fad in the 1990s for presenting music in its rawest form. Rather than the traditional bombast of turning everything up to 11, MTV Unplugged stripped it back to the basics. Often it was simply one singer, one guitar and a stool. And it was hugely popular.

A cellist since the age of eight, Zoë Keating pursued electronic music and contemporary composition as part of her Liberal Arts studies at Sarah Lawrence College in New York. I came across her music almost 10 years ago and love it so much I reached out to see if she would be interested on being on the show. Not only did she respond, she left us reeling from her incredible live performance and chat on art + entrepreneurship. Now she’s back on tour with her latest album Snowmelt. In this episode, we go deep into personal growth, dealing with incredible loss, balancing parenthood and career, and landscape for independent artists. Enjoy!

One proves the existence and uniqueness of a generalized (mild) solution for the nonlinear Fokker--Planck equation (FPE) egin{align*} &u_t-Delta (eta(u))+{mathrm{ div}}(D(x)b(u)u)=0, quad tgeq0, xinmathbb{R}^d, d e2, \ &u(0,cdot)=u_0,mbox{in }mathbb{R}^d, end{align*} where $u_0in L^1(mathbb{R}^d)$, $etain C^2(mathbb{R})$ is a nondecreasing function, $bin C^1$, bounded, $bgeq 0$, $Din(L^2cap L^infty)(mathbb{R}^d;mathbb{R}^d)$ with ${ m div}, Din L^infty(mathbb{R}^d)$, and ${ m div},Dgeq0$, $eta$ strictly increasing, if $b$ is not constant. Moreover, $t o u(t,u_0)$ is a semigroup of contractions in $L^1(mathbb{R}^d)$, which leaves invariant the set of probability density functions in $mathbb{R}^d$. If ${ m div},Dgeq0$, $eta'(r)geq a|r|^{alpha-1}$, and $|eta(r)|leq C r^alpha$, $alphageq1,$ $alpha>frac{d-2}d$, $dgeq3$, then $|u(t)|_{L^infty}le Ct^{-frac d{d+(alpha-1)d}} |u_0|^{frac2{2+(m-1)d}},$ $t>0$, and the existence extends to initial data $u_0$ in the space $mathcal{M}_b$ of bounded measures in $mathbb{R}^d$. The solution map $mumapsto S(t)mu$, $tgeq0$, is a Lipschitz contractions on $mathcal{M}_b$ and weakly continuous in $tin[0,infty)$. As a consequence for arbitrary initial laws, we obtain weak solutions to a class of McKean-Vlasov SDEs with coefficients which have singular dependence on the time marginal laws.

We establish the functional convex order results for two scaled McKean-Vlasov processes $X=(X_{t})_{tin[0, T]}$ and $Y=(Y_{t})_{tin[0, T]}$ defined by

[egin{cases} dX_{t}=(alpha X_{t}+eta)dt+sigma(t, X_{t}, mu_{t})dB_{t}, quad X_{0}in L^{p}(mathbb{P}),\ dY_{t}=(alpha Y_{t},+eta)dt+ heta(t, Y_{t}, u_{t})dB_{t}, quad Y_{0}in L^{p}(mathbb{P}). end{cases}] If we make the convexity and monotony assumption (only) on $sigma$ and if $sigmaleq heta$ with respect to the partial matrix order, the convex order for the initial random variable $X_0 leq Y_0$ can be propagated to the whole path of process $X$ and $Y$. That is, if we consider a convex functional $F$ with polynomial growth defined on the path space, we have $mathbb{E}F(X)leqmathbb{E}F(Y)$; for a convex functional $G$ defined on the product space involving the path space and its marginal distribution space, we have $mathbb{E},Gig(X, (mu_t)_{tin[0, T]}ig)leq mathbb{E},Gig(Y, ( u_t)_{tin[0, T]}ig)$ under appropriate conditions. The symmetric setting is also valid, that is, if $ heta leq sigma$ and $Y_0 leq X_0$ with respect to the convex order, then $mathbb{E},F(Y) leq mathbb{E},F(X)$ and $mathbb{E},Gig(Y, ( u_t)_{tin[0, T]}ig)leq mathbb{E},G(X, (mu_t)_{tin[0, T]})$. The proof is based on several forward and backward dynamic programming and the convergence of the Euler scheme of the McKean-Vlasov equation.

An orally-enjoyable tobacco product includes a portion of smokeless tobacco comprising an active ingredient and either: (1) a collection of tobacco particles at least partially enclosed by a coating comprising a water-soluble non-crosslinked component and a substantially water-insoluble cross-linked component, or (2) a pouch comprising smokeless tobacco enclosed in a water-permeable wrapper. The active ingredient is selected from the group consisting of a mercaptan, camphor, borneol, isoborneol, bornyl acetate, isobornyl acetate, mono-bornyl succinate, mono-isobornyl succinate, mono-bornyl formate, and mono-isobornyl formate. The active ingredient is present in an amount effective to reduce or eliminate the sensory irritation arising from the smokeless tobacco. Also disclosed is a method of making such a product.

"To ensure the safety of our customers, we are recalling all TROLIGTVIS travel mugs marked "Made in India". We urge customers to return the product to any of our stores for a full refund. We apologise for any inconvenience this recall may cause," the world's largest furniture retailer said.

"I think we could broaden the product range a bit in our lower price range," Abrahamsson Ring said, adding that new materials, production techniques and distribution methods would help make IKEA "even more affordable".

The Ikea compliance team last week visited Vadodara-based Shaily Engineering, the company that had supplied the mugs, as part of the investigation, a source said. Ikea was prompted to recall the mugs after tests found excessive level of dibutyl phthalate (DBP), a substance that is used as plasticisers.
