Harrison.ai, a Sydney-based company that creates medical devices with AI technology, today announced it has raised A $ 129 million (roughly US $ 92.3 million) in what it says is one of the biggest B Series towers ever made for an Australian healthcare tech company.
The funding was led by historic investor Horizons Ventures and included participation from new investors, Sonic Healthcare and I-MED Radiology Network. Existing backers Blackbird Ventures and Skip Capital also returned for the round, bringing the total raised by Harrison.ai over the past two years to A $ 158 million.
Harrison.ai announced that it has also formed a joint venture with Sonic Healthcare, one of the world's largest providers of medical diagnostics, to develop and commercialize new clinical AI solutions in pathology. The partnership will first focus on histopathology, or the diagnosis of tissue diseases.
This follows another Harrison.ai joint venture formed with I-MED Radiology in early 2020, creating Annalize.ai to develop AI-based radiological diagnostic aids.
Harrison.ai CEO Dr Aengus Tran told TechCrunch he became a doctor to help as many people as possible. "As I became more interested in artificial intelligence, I fell in love with the idea of using AI to help more people than I could in my entire life. "
Harrison.ai was started with his brother Dimitry to evolve the global capacity for quality healthcare by empowering clinicians with AI-powered tools. Dr Tran said Annalize.ai has been able to launch its first regulatory-approved product in 18 months, an AI tool that detects clinical findings on chest x-rays.
The funding will also be used to hire more AI data scientists and engineers and form clinical partnerships around the world to expand into new areas of health. Harrison.ai says its AI-based technology can help improve the diagnostic process in places where there is a shortage of healthcare.
"COVID has intensified the inequalities and struggles that the global health system already faces, especially in critical areas like radiology and pathology," said Dr Tran. "Over the past decade and more, we have witnessed a critical shortage of radiologists in both developed and developing markets, and this has only worsened as COVID has resulted in further skills shortages and a backlog. elective procedures and requirements. "
He added that Harrison.ai's AI-based technology is designed to help evolve healthcare systems and is not meant to replace clinicians. "We empower them to make critical healthcare decisions quickly and at scale, with the help of artificial intelligence. "
Harrison.ai currently has teams in Australia, UK and Vietnam, and plans to expand to other countries soon. Its products are ready to be marketed in Australia, the UK, Europe and some Asian countries, Dr Tran said. The company's goal is to expand into other markets, with the goal of helping one million patients per day.

Peter is interested in nano- and nonparaxial optics, structured light-matter interactions, spin-orbit coupling and plasmonics at the nanoscale, angular momenta of light, the generation and description of spatial and vectorial modes of the light field and their application and utilization in imaging, sensing and quantum optics. His research has a special emphasis on highly confined vectorial light beams.
We demonstrate that electric-dipole scatterers can mimic chiral light-matter interaction by generating far-field circular polarization upon scattering, even though the optical chirality of the incident field as well as that of the scattered light is zero. The presented effect originates from the fact that electric-dipole scatterers respond selectively only to the incident electric field, which eventually results in depolarization of the transmitted beam and in generation of far-field circular polarization. To experimentally demonstrate this effect we utilize a cylindrical vector beam with spiral polarization and a spherical gold nanoparticle positioned on the optical axis -- the axis of rotational symmetry of the system. Our experiment and a simple theoretical model address the fundamentals of duality symmetry in optics and chiral light-matter interactions, accentuating their richness and ubiquity yet in highly symmetric configurations.
Spin-orbit interactions in optics traditionally describe an influence of the polarization degree of freedom of light on its spatial properties. The most prominent example is the generation of a spin-dependent optical vortex upon focusing or scattering of a circularly polarized plane-wave by a nanoparticle, converting spin to orbital angular momentum of light. Here, we present a mechanism of conversion of orbital-to-spin angular momentum of light upon scattering of a linearly polarized vortex beam by a spherical silicon nanoparticle. We show that focused linearly polarized Laguerre-Gaussian beams of first order (ℓ=±1) exhibit an ℓ-dependent spatial distribution of helicity density in the focal volume. By using a dipolar scatterer the helicity density can be manipulated locally, while influencing globally the spin and orbital angular momentum of the beam. Specifically, the scattered light can be purely circularly polarized with the handedness depending on the orbital angular momentum of the incident beam. We corroborate our findings with theoretical calculations and an experimental demonstration. Our work sheds new light on the global and local properties of helicity conservation laws in electromagnetism.
The capability to distinguish the handedness of circularly polarized light is a well-known intrinsic property of a chiral nanostructure. It is a long-standing controversial debate, however, whether a chiral object can also sense the vorticity, or the orbital angular momentum (OAM), of a light field. Since OAM is a non-local property, it seems rather counter-intuitive that a point-like chiral object could be able to distinguish the sense of the wave-front of light carrying OAM. Here, we show that a dipolar chiral nanostructure is indeed capable of distinguishing the sign of the phase vortex of the incoming light beam. To this end, we take advantage of the conversion of the sign of OAM, carried by a linearly polarized Laguerre-Gaussian beam, into the sign of optical chirality upon tight focusing. Our study provides for a deeper insight into the discussion of chiral light-matter interactions and the respective role of OAM.
Structured illumination allows for satisfying the first Kerker condition of in-phase perpendicular electric and magnetic dipole moments in any isotropic scatterer that supports electric and magnetic dipolar resonances. The induced Huygens' dipole may be utilized for unidirectional coupling to waveguide modes that propagate transverse to the excitation beam. We study two configurations of a Huygens' dipole -- longitudinal electric and transverse magnetic dipole moments or vice versa. We experimentally show that only the radially polarized emission of the first and azimuthally polarized emission of the second configuration are directional in the far-field. This polarization selectivity implies that directional excitation of either TM or TE waveguide modes is possible. Applying this concept to a single nanoantenna excited with structured light, we are able to experimentally achieve scattering directivities of around 23 dB and 18 dB in TM and TE modes, respectively. This strong directivity paves the way for tunable polarization-controlled nanoscale light routing and applications in optical metrology, ocalization microscopy and on-chip optical devices.
Electromagnetic plane waves, solutions to Maxwell's equations, are said to be 'transverse' in vacuum. Namely, the waves' oscillatory electric and magnetic fields are confined within a plane transverse to the waves' propagation direction. Under tight-focusing conditions however, the field can exhibit longitudinal electric or magnetic components, transverse spin angular momentum, or non-trivial topologies such as Möbius strips. Here, we show that when a suitably spatially structured beam is tightly focused, a 3-dimensional polarization topology in the form of a ribbon with two full twists appears in the focal volume. We study experimentally the stability and dynamics of the observed polarization ribbon by exploring its topological structure for various radii upon focusing and for different propagation planes.
The electromagnetic field scattered by nano-objects contains a broad range of wave vectors and can be efficiently coupled to waveguided modes. The dominant ontribution to scattering from subwavelength dielectric and plasmonic nanoparticles is determined by electric and magnetic dipolar responses. Here, we experimentally demonstrate spectral and phase selective excitation of Janus dipoles, sources with electric and magnetic dipoles oscillating out of phase, in order to control near-field interference and directional coupling to waveguides. We show that by controlling the polarisation state of the dipolar excitations and the excitation wavelength to adjust their relative contributions, directionality and coupling strength can be fully tuned. Furthermore, we introduce a novel spinning Janus dipole featuring cylindrical symmetry in the near and far field, which results in either omnidirectional coupling or noncoupling. Controlling the propagation of guided light waves via fast and robust near-field interference between polarisation components of a source is required in many applications in nanophotonics and quantum optics.
We experimentally demonstrate the emergence of a purely azimuthally polarized vectorial vortex beam with a phase singularity upon Brewster reflection of focused circularly polarized light from a dielectric substrate. The effect originates from the polarizing properties of the Fresnel reflection coefficients described in Brewster's law. An astonishing consequence of this effect is that the reflected field's Cartesian components acquire local phase singularities at Brewster's angle. Our observations are crucial for polarization microscopy and open new avenues for the generation of exotic states of light based on spin-to-orbit coupling, without the need for sophisticated optical elements.
A spherical nanoparticle can scatter tightly focused optical beams in a spin-segmented manner, meaning that the far field of the scattered light exhibits laterally separated left- and right-handed circularly polarized components. This effect, commonly referred to as giant spin Hall effect of light, strongly depends on the position of the scatterer in the focal volume. Here, a scheme that utilizes an optical weak measurement in a cylindrical polarization basis is put forward to drastically enhance the spin-segmentation and, therefore, the sensitivity to small displacements of a scatterer. In particular, we experimentally achieve a change of the spin-splitting signal of 5% per nanometer displacement.
We investigate points of circular polarization in the far field of elliptically polarized dipoles and establish a relation between the angular position and helicity of these C points and the dipole moment. In the case of highly eccentric dipoles, the C points of opposite handedness exhibit only a small angular separation and occur in the low intensity region of the emission pattern. In this regard, we introduce an optical weak measurement approach that utilizes the transverse electric (azimuthal) and transverse magnetic (radial) far-eld polarization basis. Projecting the far field onto a spatially varying post-selected polarization state reveals the angular separation and the helicity of the C points. We demonstrate the applicability of this approach and determine the elliptical dipole moment of a particle sitting on an interface by measuring the C points in its far field.
Angstrom precision localization of a single nanoantenna is a crucial step towards advanced nanometrology, medicine and biophysics. Here, we show that single nanoantenna displacements down to few Angstroms can be resolved with sub-Angstrom precision using an all-optical method. We utilize the tranverse Kerker scattering scheme where a carefully structured light beam excites a combination of multipolar modes inside a dielectric nanoantenna, which then upon interference, scatters directionally into the far-field. We spectrally tune our scheme such that it is most sensitive to the change in directional scattering per nanoantenna displacement. Finally, we experimentally show that antenna displacement down to 3 A˚ is resolvable with a localization precision of 0.6 A˚.
Chiroptical effects arising in mirror‐symmetric geometrically achiral resonant heterostructures are investigated. It is shown that coalescence of extrinsic chirality, heterogeneous morphology, and substrate‐induced break of symmetry leads to pronounced circular dichroism and circular birefringence. The physics of the involved phenomena is elucidated by studying spin‐splitting in scattering and hybridized dipolar modes of a heterodimer made of gold and silicon nanoparticles of the same shape and size. The work sheds new light on the optical properties of heterogeneous nanostructures and paves the way for designing polarization‐controlled tunable heterogeneous optical elements.
Linear scattering processes are usually described as a function of the parameters of the incident beam. The wavelength, the intensity distribution, the polarization or the phase are among them. Here, we discuss and experimentally demonstrate how the angular momentum and the helicity of light influence the light scattering of spherical particles. We measure the backscattering of a 4 μm diameter TiO2 single particle deposited on a glass substrate. The particle is probed at different wavelengths by different beams with total angular momenta ranging from −8 to +8 units. It is observed that the spectral behavior of the particle is highly dependent on the angular momentum and helicity of the incoming beam. While some of the properties of the scattered field can be described with a simple resonator model, the scattering of high angular momentum beams requires a deeper understanding of the multipolar modes induced in the sphere. We observe that tailoring these induced multipolar modes can cause a shift and a spectral narrowing of the peaks of the scattering spectrum. Furthermore, specific combinations of helicity and angular momentum for the excitation lead to differences in the conservation of helicity by the system, which has clear consequences on the scattering pattern.
When a beam of light is laterally confined, its field distribution can exhibit points where the local magnetic and electric field vectors spin in a plane containing the propagation direction of the electromagnetic wave. The phenomenon indicates the presence of a nonzero transverse spin density. Here, we experimentally investigate this transverse spin density of both magnetic and electric fields, occurring in highly confined structured fields of light. Our scheme relies on the utilization of a high-re fractiv-indcx e-noperticlc as a lecal field probe, exhibiting magnetic and electric dipole resonances in the visible spectral range. Because of the directional emission of dipole moments that spin around an axis parallel to a nearby dielectric interface, such a probe particle is capable of locally sensing the magnetic and electric transverse spin density of a tightly focused beam impinging under normal incidence with respect to said interface. We exploit the achieved experimental results to emphasize the difference between magnetic and electric transverse spin densities.
We propose, design and fabricate an on-chip AlGaAs waveguide capable of generating a controlled phase delay of pi/2 between the guided transverse electric and magnetic modes. These modes possess significantly strong longitudinal field components as a direct consequence of their strong lateral confinement in the waveguide. We demonstrate that the effect of the device on a linearly polarised input beam is the generation of a field, which is circularly polarised in its transverse components and carries a phase vortex in its longitudinal component. We believe that the discussed integrated platform enables the generation of light beams with tailored phase and polarisation distributions.
Spatially structured optical fields have been used to enhance the functionality of a wide variety of systems that use light for sensing or information transfer. As higher-dimensional modes become a solution of choice in optical systems, it is important to develop channel models that suitably predict the effect of atmospheric turbulence on these modes. We investigate the propagation of a set of orthogonal spatial modes across a free-space channel between two buildings separated by 1.6 km. Given the circular geometry of a common optical lens, the orthogonal mode set we choose to implement is that described by the Laguerre-Gaussian (LG) field equations. Our study focuses on the preservation of phase purity, which is vital for spatial multiplexing and any system requiring full quantum-state tomography. We present experimental data for the modal degradation in a real urban environment and draw a comparison to recognized theoretical predictions of the link. Our findings indicate that adaptations to channel models are required to simulate the effects of atmospheric turbulence placed on high-dimensional structured modes that propagate over a long distance. Our study indicates that with mitigation of vortex splitting, potentially through precorrection techniques, one could overcome the challenges in a real point-to-point free-space channel in an urban environment.

Structured light refers to the generation and application of custom light fields. As the tools and technology to create and detect structured light have evolved, steadily the applications have begun to emerge. This roadmap touches on the key fields within structured light from the perspective of experts in those areas, providing insight into the current state and the challenges their respective fields face. Collectively the roadmap outlines the venerable nature of structured light research and the exciting prospects for the future that are yet to be realized.
We experimentally demonstrate free space excitation of coupled Anderson-localized modes in photonic crystal (PhC) line-defect waveguides (W1) with polarization tailored beams. The corresponding light beam is tightly focused on a pristine W1, and out-of-plane scattering is imaged. By integrating the scattering spectra along the guide, at the W1 modal cut-off, Anderson-localized cavities are observed due to residual W1 fabrication-disorder. Their spectral lines exhibit high quality Q factors up to 2 x 10(5). The incident beam polarization and scattering intensities of the localized modes characterize the efficiency of free-space coupling. The coupling is studied for linearly and radially polarized input beams and for different input coupling locations along the W1 guide. The proposed coupling scheme is particularly attractive for excitation of PhC waveguide modes and Anderson-localized cavities by beam steering and scanning microscopy for sensing applications.

We investigate the linear momentum density of light, which can be decomposed into spin and orbital parts, in the complex three-dimensional field distributions of tightly focused vortex segmented beams. The chosen angular spectrum exhibits two spatially separated vortices of opposite charge and orthogonal circular polarization to generate phase vortices in a meridional plane of observation. In the vicinity of those vortices, regions of negative orbital linear momentum occur. Besides these phase vortices, the occurrence of transverse orbital angular momentum manifests in a vortex charge-dependent relative shift of the energy density and linear momentum density.
The knife-edge method is an established technique for profiling of even tightly focused light beams. However the straightforward implementation of this method fails if the materials and geometry of the knife-edges are not chosen carefully or in particular if knife-edges are used that are made of pure materials. In these cases artifacts are introduced in the shape and position of the reconstructed beam profile due to the interaction of the light beam under study with the knife. Hence, corrections to the standard knife-edge evaluation method are required. Here we investigate the knife-edge method for highly focused radially and azimuthally polarized beams and their linearly polarized constituents. We introduce relative shifts for those constituents and report on the consistency with the case of a linearly polarized Gaussian beam. An adapted knife-edge reconstruction technique is presented and proof-of-concept tests demonstrating the reconstruction of beam profiles are shown.
The possibility of focusing light to an ever tighter spot has important implications for many applications and fields of optics research, such as nano-optics and plasmonics, laser-scanning microscopy, optical data storage, and many more. The size of lateral features of the field at the focus depends on several parameters, including the numerical aperture of the focusing system, but also the wavelength and polarization, phase and intensity distribution of the input beam. Here, we study the smallest achievable focal feature sizes of coherent superpositions of two copropagating beams carrying opposite orbital angular momentum. We investigate the feature sizes for this class of beams not only in the scalar limit, but also use a fully vectorial treatment to discuss the case of tight focusing. Both our numerical simulations and our experimental results confirm that lateral feature sizes considerably smaller than those of a tightly focused Gaussian light beam can be observed. These findings may pave the way for improving the resolution of imaging systems or may find applications in nano-optics experiments.
Controlling the propagation and coupling of light to sub-wavelength antennas is a crucial prerequisite for many nanoscale optical devices. Recently, the main focus of attention has been directed towards high-refractive-index materials such as silicon as an integral part of the antenna design. This development is motivated by the rich spectral properties of individual high-refractive-index nanoparticles. Here we take advantage of the interference of their magnetic and electric resonances to achieve strong lateral directionality. For controlled excitation of a spherical silicon nanoantenna, we use tightly focused radially polarized light. The resultant directional emission depends on the antenna's position relative to the focus. This approach finds application as a novel position sensing technique, which might be implemented in modern nanometrology and super-resolution microscopy set-ups. We demonstrate in a proof-of-concept experiment that a lateral resolution in the Angstrom regime can be achieved.

Tightly focused light beams can exhibit complex and versatile structured electric field distributions. The local field may spin around any axis including a transverse axis perpendicular to the beams' propagation direction. At certain focal positions, the corresponding local polarization ellipse can even degenerate into a perfect circle, representing a point of circular polarization or C point. We consider the most fundamental case of a linearly polarized Gaussian beam, where-upon tight focusing-those C points created by transversely spinning fields can form the center of 3D optical polarization topologies when choosing the plane of observation appropriately. Because of the high symmetry of the focal field, these polarization topologies exhibit nontrivial structures similar to Mobius strips. We use a direct physical measure to find C points with an arbitrarily oriented spinning axis of the electric field and experimentally investigate the fully three-dimensional polarization topologies surrounding these C points by exploiting an amplitude and phase reconstruction technique.
Metamaterials and metasurfaces provide a paradigm-changing approach for manipulating light. Their potential has been evinced by recent demonstrations of chiral responses much greater than those of natural materials. Here, we demonstrate theoretically and experimentally that the extrinsic chiral response of a metasurface can be dramatically enhanced by near-field diffraction effects. At the core of this phenomenon are lattice plasmon modes that respond selectively to the illumination's polarization handedness. The metasurface exhibits sharp features in its circular dichroism spectra, which are tunable over a broad bandwidth by changing the illumination angle over a few degrees. Using this property, we demonstrate an ultra-thin circular-polarization sensitive spectral filter with a linewidth of ~10 nm, which can be dynamically tuned over a spectral range of 200 nm. Chiral diffractive metasurfaces, such as the one proposed here, open exciting possibilities for ultra-thin photonic devices with tunable, spin-controlled functionality.
Mobius strips are three-dimensional geometrical structures, fascinating for their peculiar property of being surfaces with only one "side"-or, more technically, being "nonorientable" surfaces. Despite being easily realized artificially, the spontaneous emergence of these structures in nature is exceedingly rare. Here, we generate Mobius strips of optical polarization by tightly focusing the light beam emerging from a q-plate, a liquid crystal device that modifies the polarization of light in a space-variantmanner. Using a recently developed-method for the three-dimensional nanotomography of optical vector fields, we fully reconstruct the light polarization structure in the focal region, confirming the appearance of Mobius polarization structures. The preparation of such structured light modes may be important for complex light beam engineering and optical micro-and nanofabrication.
Following Mie theory, nanoparticles made of a high-refractive-index dielectric, such as silicon, exhibit a resonator-like behavior and very rich resonance spectra. Which electric or magnetic particle mode is excited depends on the wavelength, the refractive-index contrast relative to the environment, and the geometry of the nanoparticle itself. In addition, the spatial structure of the impinging light field plays a major role in the excitation of the nanoparticle resonances. Here, it is shown that, by tailoring the excitation field, individual multipole resonances can be selectively addressed while suppressing the excitation of other particle modes. This enables a detailed study of selected individual resonances without interference by the other modes.
We exploit the birefringence of cellophane to convert a linearly polarised Gaussian beam into either a radially or azimuthally polarised beam. For that, we fabricated a low-cost polarisation mask consisting of four segments of cellophane. The fast axis of each segment is oriented appropriately in order to rotate the polarisation of the incident linearly polarised beam as desired. To ensure the correct operation of the polarisation mask, we tested the polarisation state of the generated beam by measuring the spatial distribution of the Stokes parameters. Such a device is very cost efficient and allows for the generation of cylindrical vector beams of high quality.
We experimentally show an all-optical multipolar decomposition of the lowest-order eigenmodes of a single gold nanoprism using azimuthally and radially polarized cylindrical vector beams. By scanning the particle through these tailored field distributions, the multipolar character of the eigenmodes gets encoded into 2D-scanning intensity maps even for higher-order contributions to the eigenmode that are too weak to be discerned in the direct far-field scattering response. This method enables a detailed optical mode analysis of individual nanoparticles. (C) 2015 AIP Publishing LLC.
We generate tightly focused optical vector beams whose electric fields spin around an axis transverse to the beams' propagation direction. We experimentally investigate these fields by exploiting the directional near-field interference of a dipolelike plasmonic field probe placed adjacent to a dielectric interface. This directionality depends on the transverse electric spin density of the excitation field. Near-to far-field conversion mediated by the dielectric interface enables us to detect the directionality of the emitted light in the far field and, therefore, to measure the transverse electric spin density with nanoscopic resolution. Finally, we determine the longitudinal electric component of Belinfante's elusive spin momentum density, a solenoidal field quantity often referred to as "virtual."
Scientists have known for more than a century that light possesses both linear and angular momenta along the direction of propagation. However, only recent advances in optics have led to the notion of spinning electromagnetic fields capable of carrying angular momenta transverse to the direction of motion. Such fields enable numerous applications in nano-optics, biosensing and near-field microscopy, including three-dimensional control over atoms, molecules and nanostructures, and allowing for the realization of chiral nanophotonic interfaces and plasmonic devices. Here, we report on recent developments of optics with light carrying transverse spin. We present both the underlying principles and the latest achievements, and also highlight new capabilities and future applications emerging from this young yet already advanced field of research.
We experimentally demonstrate all-optical control of the emission directivity of a dipole-like nanoparticle with spinning dipole moment sitting on the interface to an optical denser medium. The particle itself is excited by a tightly focused polarization tailored light beam under normal incidence. The position dependent local polarization of the focal field allows for tuning the dipole moment via careful positioning of the particle relative to the beam axis. As an application of this scheme, we investigate the polarization dependent coupling to a planar two-dimensional dielectric waveguide.
Recently, it was shown that a nonzero transverse angular momentum manifests itself in a polarization-dependent intensity shift of the barycenter of a paraxial light beam [Aiello et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 103, 100401 (2009)]. The underlying effect is phenomenologically similar to the spin Hall effect of light but does not depend on the specific light-matter interaction and can be interpreted as a purely geometric effect. Thus, it was named the geometric spin Hall effect of light. Here, we experimentally investigate the appearance of this effect in tightly focused vector beams. We use an experimental nanoprobing technique in combination with a reconstruction algorithm to verify the relative shifts of the components of the electric energy density and the shift of the intensity in the focal plane. By that, we experimentally demonstrate the geometric spin Hall effect of light in a highly nonparaxial beam.
Highly confined vectorial electromagnetic field distributions are an excellent tool for detailed studies in nano-optics, such as nonlinear microscopy(1), advanced fluorescence imaging(2,3) or nanoplasmonics(4,5). Such field distributions can be generated, for instance, by tight focusing of polarized light beams(6-9). To guarantee high resolution in the investigation of objects with subwavelength dimensions, precise knowledge of the spatial distribution of the exciting vectorial field is of utmost importance. The full-field reconstruction methods presented to date involve, for example, complex near-field techniques(10-13). Here, we demonstrate a simple and straightforward-to-implement measurement scheme and reconstruction algorithm based on the scattering signal of a single spherical nanoparticle as a field probe. We are able to reconstruct the amplitudes and relative phases of the individual focal field components with subwavelength resolution from a single scan measurement without the need for polarization analysis of the scattered light. This scheme has the potential to improve microscopy and nanoscopy techniques.
The spin Hall effect of light (SHEL) is the photonic analogue of the spin Hall effect occurring for charge carriers in solid-state systems. This intriguing phenomenon manifests itself when a light beam refracts at an air-glass interface (conventional SHEL) or when it is projected onto an oblique plane, the latter effect being known as the geometric SHEL. It amounts to a polarization-dependent displacement perpendicular to the plane of incidence. In this work, we experimentally investigate the geometric SHEL for a light beam transmitted across an oblique polarizer. We find that the spatial intensity distribution of the transmitted beam depends on the incident state of polarization and its centroid undergoes a positional displacement exceeding one wavelength. This novel phenomenon is virtually independent from the material properties of the polarizer and, thus, reveals universal features of spin-orbit coupling.
Combining graphene with plasmonic nanostructures is currently being explored for high sensitivity biochemical detection based on the surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) effect. Here, a novel and tunable platform for understanding SERS based on graphene monolayers transferred on arrays of split ring resonators (SRRs) exhibiting resonances in the visible range is introduced. Raman enhancement factors per area of graphene of up to 75 are measured, demonstrating the strong plasmonic coupling between graphene and the metamaterial resonances. Apart from the incident laser light, both the photoluminescence signal emitted by the SRRs and the Raman scattered light from graphene contribute to the excitation of distinct resonances, resulting in different SERS. This new perspective allows control of SERS in the case of graphene on plasmonic metamaterials or nanostructures and potentially paves the way towards an advanced SERS substrate that could lead to the detection of single molecules attached to graphene in future biochemical sensing devices.
We investigate the transmission of focused beams through single subwavelength holes in a silver film. We use radially and azimuthally polarized light to excite higher-order waveguide modes as well as to match the radial symmetry of the aperture geometry. Remarkably, the transmission properties can be described by a classical waveguide model even for thicknesses of the silver film as thin as a quarter of a wavelength.

Osaka, who withdrew from this week's Qatar Open due to a back injury, has not yet announced a replacement for Bajin.
The news comes just three weeks since Osaka's successful run to her second straight major title at the Australian Open, which launched her to World No.1.

Q: R not using entire RAM Available I have a 16GB RAM Machine with windows 64 bit.If I run a model in R it uses only 2GB and remaining memory is free.
I have run the same model in a 4GB machine which takes 4 hours to give the result,So I upgraded to 16GB RAM ,but still then R takes the same 4 hours to run the same model in 16GB machine also.R is not using more than 2GB of RAM.
Any idea why R is not using the entire RAM avaiable.

A: On a 64-bit OS, handling 16 GB of RAM should be no problem for R.
It is probably a configuration-issue that prevents R from doing so.
You can check the current memory-limit by calling memory.limit() (see http://www.inside-r.org/r-doc/utils/memory.size).
You can also use memory.limit(12000) to set a new limit.
But you should check whether RAM is really the limiting factor. If you are doing some number-crunching, increasing RAM will not speed up the calculation of the result.

Dog Brainz // Potpourri // Kaz in Manchester
« Unearthed Festival 2020
Battle of the Bands, Aatma, 28th January »
PotpourriPotpourri are a four-piece DIY outfit based in Sheffield. Having recently learnt their instruments to form the band, they experiment with off-the-wall pop euphonies to create catchy, melodic, sometimes haunting sounds. A recent viewer described it as "impossibly cool, impeccably weird" and we think that just about says it.https://www.instagram.com/potpourri_fan_club/Dog BrainzA trio of pedigree chumps play pineapple punk-pop. FFO drinking tinnies on the train, Martha and (old) Weezer.https://www.instagram.com/dog_brainzKazProducer and multi-instrumentalist Kaz earned her stripes working behind the scenes on projects for others. This solo debut sees Kaz step out from behind the drum kit or mixing desk and take centre stage for a set of songs influenced by the RnB, soul and jazz that she grew up listening to. The project began in a bedroom in Lancaster, and the London-born musician's process reflects the DIY mind-set embedded in her adopted hometown. Kaz does everything from vocals to brass to percussion. She taught herself guitar and piano as a means to flesh out her productions, but these quickly became integral songwriting tools in their own right.The songs will get their first live outing as solo pieces, with the first gig at Aatma in Manchester.£6 in champs!https://www.facebook.com/events/432439184317995/

Retinosaurus hkamtiensis — викопний вид ящірок інфраряду сцинкоподібних (Scincomorpha). Описаний у 2022 році.

Відкриття
Скам'янілість була виявлена в бірманському бурштині з місцевості Хкамті в М'янмі, яке датується раннім альбом приблизно 110 мільйонів років тому. Зразок було легально отримано від дилера дорогоцінних каменів в 2019 році. У бурштині застигла молода особина ящірки. Крім викопного матеріалу ящірки, бурштин також містить кілька жуків.

Опис
Retinosaurus hkamtiensis був невеликою ящіркою, його добре збережений череп має лише 1 см (але було виявлено лише молодь). На додаток до тривимірно збережених кісток, скам'яніла смола також зберегла луску шкіри і навіть частину дихальної системи у вигляді трахеї та бронхів. Скам'янілість складається з голови та частини тулуба з передніми лапами. Видно форму окремих лусочок, а також частину ока та повік.

Сиситематика
На основі філогенетичного аналізу було виявлено, що Retinosaurus, ймовірно, належав до широкої групи сцинків, а його найближчими живими родичами є Xantusiidae. Більшість аналізів показують, що рід є дочірнім таксоном до клади, що складається з роду Tepexisaurus і родини Xantusiidae. Оскільки типова особина являє собою незрілу особину, автори опису вказують на те, що будь-які результати філогенетичного аналізу слід інтерпретувати з обережністю.

At last, a foreign-policy debate in America's presidential campaign
LeadersMay 4th 2000 edition
IT HAS been a strange week in the playroom of American presidential politics. Foreign policy has not just been mentioned, but actually debated. In an unexpectedly vicious attack on George W. Bush, Al Gore accused his opponent of being an isolationist, fixated by cold-war ideas. Mr Bush's camp has responded with jabs about the Clinton administration's policy towards Russia. There is even something of a debate going on about China's accession to the World Trade Organisation. Naturally nobody expects this to last. Why should the American electorate consider anything so tedious as global security, free trade or missile defence when there are serious things to campaign about—such as the Confederate flag flying in South Carolina, or missing White House e-mails?
This attitude is perhaps understandable: the last person to make much noise about foreign policy was Mr Bush's father, who lost to Bill Clinton partly because the latter promised to concentrate on domestic policy. But it is still wrong and—as President Bush might have put it—getting wronger.
The home is not enough
To begin with, foreign policy is one of the few things where being president matters. The next president's domestic economic policy has in many ways already been "outsourced" to the Federal Reserve: even Bill Clinton seems to have given up the fiction that he, rather than Alan Greenspan, runs the economy. The federal government supplies only seven cents in every dollar spent in the country's schools. And the states have been acquiring ever more power over various parts of social policy. By contrast, defence—only one part of the foreign policy equation, but a vital one—accounts for about half of discretionary federal spending.
The outside world has always presented presidents with intractable problems. But, recently, it seems to have placed ever more pressure on the president. Globalisation is binding America's economy ever more tightly into those of other countries. The end of the cold war has in many ways made the job of running the western alliance a much harder, subtler task. Allies are less willing to accept the dictates of Washington, and it is often even harder to convince congressmen. Capitalism's triumph over communism has in a sense given every American politician an excuse to break ranks.
Against this background, Bill Clinton has proved a mildly disappointing foreign-policy president. His poor first-term start can perhaps be put down to his promise to focus on matters at home—and to the sheer novelty of the post-cold-war world. He can also point to an increasingly obstructionist Congress. But the overall impression has been of episodic and inconsistent attention; his considerable diplomatic skills have been employed only fitfully.
In some cases, this approach eventually muddled through (most notably, in Bosnia); in other cases, the lack of any consistent agenda has been startling (with China, there seem to have been several successive policies). Unless the Republican Congress proves unexpectedly co-operative or Mr Clinton himself unusually decisive, the outgoing president will leave behind a few outright successes, notably the North American Free-Trade Agreement (though Bush senior had done some of the spadework); a few outright failures, such as the defeat of the Comprehensive Test-Ban Treaty; plenty of currently unsolved cases (Northern Ireland, Cuba, missiles, and, inevitably, the Middle East); and unclear messages on everything from America's vision for the United Nations and the World Trade Organisation (WTO) to when exactly the United States thinks that humanitarian intervention is justified.
This, it should be repeated, is not a disastrous bequest. But at the very least it challenges the next occupant of the Oval Office to do better. One unfortunate consequence of the sidelining of foreign policy is that there is relatively little evidence available to assess the capacity of either Mr Gore or Mr Bush. Both would claim to be internationalists. Mr Gore fought hard for NAFTA, and his current attempts to rethink foreign policy show enthusiasm for the subject. As governor of Texas, Mr Bush can hardly be judged on his foreign-policy achievements, but he has been a prominent supporter of immigration (not a bad guide in Republican terms) and he has inherited an experienced foreign-policy team from his father.
There are, however, also doubts about both men. In his attempt to court the unions, Mr Gore has added "fair trade" to his own somewhat flaky ideas about green trade. These helped destroy the serious side of the WTO's meeting in Seattle. And it remains to be seen how the vice-president's close exposure to Mr Clinton's modus operandi has affected his own strategy. Letting a problem fester into a crisis and then using your considerable diplomatic charm to solve it is almost excusable if you possess Mr Clinton's powers of persuasion; in other hands it would be mad.
As for Mr Bush, there is nothing in his record to support Mr Gore's charge that he is an isolationist—though there are some in the Republican Party who plainly err in that direction. But Mr Bush has made unilateral noises—about America intervening abroad only when "its interests" are at stake. Much depends on how those interests are defined. In some cases—China perhaps—a little hard-nosed realpolitik is called for. In other cases, such as Kosovo and Bosnia, it is hard to see how the United States' foreign policy could avoid having a humanitarian edge. If the president did not put it there, American voters, watching the ghastly events on CNN, soon would. Putting morality into foreign policy has been a card played mostly by the Democrats—but not exclusively so; Ronald Reagan did it most successfully. The difficult thing is deciding how much morality—and making sure that the rest of the world happens to agree with it.
These are, in short, thorny problems. But they require consistency, character and attention from the two men who want to be president. The two both remain novices. Yet their new attention to worldly matters is welcome—if it is sustained.

All for One Steeb AG launches worldwide unique industry solution for medium-sized businesses under SAP S/4HANA Enterprise Management
New industry solution for SAP S/4HANA Enterprise Management developed / exclusive business process library with over 120 processes / future-proofing for customers of All for One Steeb AG
Filderstadt, February 16, 2017 - All for One Steeb AG, a leading IT company and number 1 in the German-speaking SAP market, is paving the way to digitalization for midsize companies with its new industry solution. New customers of the IT system house can now use this solution to access a comprehensive business process library under SAP S/4HANA.
All for One Steeb's strategic decision to completely redevelop its proven industry solution for SAP S/4HANA is more than just a digital switch. The IT service provider is making full use of all the effects of the new SAP S/4HANA software generation, such as the Fiori Launchpad as a consistent user interface or the many innovations such as analytical KPI apps. "The new solution guarantees our customers absolute future security," says Ralf Linha, member of the management board of All for One Steeb AG. This plus in security distinguishes the SAP company from most of its competitors, who merely convert their industry solutions to the new enterprise management solution SAP S/4HANA. After all, it is questionable what happens to the customizing settings or user exits when importing future software versions.
Business process library with over 120 processes
In order to guarantee customers this extra security, not only was a new development developed, but the previous concept of rigid industry solutions was also questioned. "We are noticing that business in the industries is becoming increasingly diverse and complex," says Linha. Today, if an automotive supplier has a new process requirement that is usually at home in the consumer goods industry, it can be served from the All for One Steeb business process library and mapped in SAP without extensive customizing. The library, the core of the new industry solution, currently comprises over 120 business processes, so-called scope items, of the automotive, mechanical engineering and consumer goods industries, which the customer can access quickly and easily.
SAP S/4HANA forms the digital core
The introduction of SAP S/4HANA does not only mean that the customer decides to implement a new ERP or a new software generation, but rather that he lays the foundation for the digitalization of his company. The industry solution under S/4HANA Enterprise Management forms the digital core for all processes, information and services of a company. Meanwhile, it makes no difference whether it is the connection of an IoT scenario and the resulting machine data, an additional solution for file digitization or a support portal. The new solution also makes discussions about the appearance of the user interface a thing of the past: "With the new development, we exclusively offer the user a consistent Fiori user interface, a role and authorization concept that meets all security and compliance requirements, as well as modern digital user documentation in the form of tutorials," concludes Linha.
In future, business processes at the push of a button
In the medium term, All for One Steeb wants to offer its customers a 360-degree view of their company and processes at the push of a button via a new portal. Linha describes the future scenario as follows: "Soon, the head of quality management will go to our portal, see the status of his incoming goods processes, that his goods are flowing poorly and, with a click, select a new process from the library that optimizes his incoming goods zone and allows the goods to flow faster. With this portal our customer service will reach a new dimension".
17 March Day of Digitisation in Walldorf
On March 17, 2017, All for One Steeb AG is organizing a digitization day at SAP in Walldorf, Germany, where it will present the new industry solution to all interested parties and also provide basic information and best practices for digitization.

During our spring fair, the keys of the first AVANT E5 in Europe were handed over. As our company values sustainable, eco-friendly production of our crops greatly, purchasing this new electrical AVANT made for a logical, informed investment. As such, we are proud to be the first company in Europe to start working with an electrically powered AVANT.
Tom Raepers with Avant Machinery: 'Consumers and manufacturers alike are much more environmentally minded these days, and regulations regarding machine emissions are becoming increasingly strict. With its battery-powered articulated loader, Avant is responding to the growing demand for electrical machinery that causes less noise pollution and has zero emission of harmful substances.


In a real shocker, Statistics Canada announced this morning that employment dropped by 51,600, retracing most of the 54,100 gain in July. Economists had been expecting a much stronger number, but the Labour Force Survey is notoriously volatile, and job gains continue to average 14,000 per month over the past year. Full-time employment growth has run at about twice the pace at an average monthly increase of 27,000. Labour markets remain very tight across the country.
The unemployment rate returned to its June level of 6.0%, ticking up from 5.8% in July. July's jobless figure matched a more than four-decade low. At 6.0%, the unemployment rate is 0.2 percentage points below the level one year ago.
All of the job loss last month was in part-time work, down 92,000, while full-time employment rose by 40,400. The strength in full-time jobs is a sign that the labour market is stronger than the headline numbers for August suggest.
On a year-over-year basis, employment grew by 172,000 or 0.9%. Full-time employment increased (+326,000 or +2.2%), while the number of people working part-time declined (-154,000 or -4.3%). Over the same period, total hours worked were up 1.6%.
Statistics Canada commented that monthly shifts in part-time employment could result from movements between part-time and full-time work, the flux of younger and older workers in and out of the labour force, changes in employment in industries where part-time work is relatively common, or deviations from typical seasonal patterns.
By industry, the decline was broadly based and included a loss of 16,400 jobs in construction and 22,100 in the professional services sector. The number of people working in wholesale and retail trade declined by 20,000, driven by Quebec and Ontario.
Job losses were huge in Ontario as employment increased in Alberta and Manitoba. Employment was little changed in the other provinces.
After two consecutive monthly increases, employment in Ontario fell by 80,000 in August, which was the province's most significant job loss since 2009. All of the decline was in part-time work. On a year-over-year basis, Ontario employment increased by 79,000 (+1.1%). The Ontario unemployment rate rose 0.3 percentage points in August, to 5.7% (see table below).
In Ontario, full-time employment held steady compared with the previous month, with year-over-year gains totalling 172,000 (+3.0%). Part-time jobs fell by 80,000 in August, following a roughly equivalent rise in July. In the 12 months to August, part-time work decreased by 93,000 (-6.7%).
Employment in Alberta rose by 16,000, and the unemployment rate remained at 6.7% as more people participated in the labour market. Compared with August 2017, employment grew by 53,000 (+2.3%), mostly in full-time work.
In Manitoba, employment rose by 2,600, driven by gains in part-time work, and the unemployment rate was 5.8%. On a year-over-year basis, employment in the province was unchanged, while the unemployment rate increased 0.8 percentage points as more people looked for work.
In British Columbia, employment edged up and the unemployment rate increased 0.3 percentage points to 5.3% as more people searched for work. Compared with a year earlier, employment was virtually unchanged.
Wage gains decelerated to their lowest level this year as average hourly earnings were up 2.9% y/y, the slowest pace since December.
There is no real urgency for the Bank of Canada to hike interest rates as the economy shows little risk of overheating. So far in 2018, the economy has shed 14,600 jobs, but the number masks a 97,300 gain in full-time work. Part-time employment is down by 111,900 this year.
The economy is running at or near full-employment as job vacancies continue to mount. If a NAFTA agreement comes to fruition, it is still likely the Bank of Canada will raise interest rates once again at the policy meeting in October. The Bank of Canada guided in that direction yesterday when Senior Deputy Governor Carolyn Wilkins said the central bank's top officials debated this week whether to accelerate the pace of potential interest rate hikes, before finally choosing to stick to their current "gradual" path.

Fischer Calls for Assistance for Livestock Producers Affected by Drought
BY David Kelly | December 4, 2021
Home ›	News ›	Agriculture News
WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senator Deb Fischer (R-Neb.), a member of the Senate Agriculture Committee, recently joined a group of her Republican colleagues in a letter urging the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Farm Service Agency (FSA) to address a gap in coverage under the Emergency Assistance for Livestock, Honeybees and Farm-Raised Fish Program (ELAP). In September, the USDA announced it would provide ELAP assistance for the cost of transporting feed to livestock, but producers who are transporting their livestock to feed are not eligible for the program.
"[W]e continue to hear from producers who have been severely affected by drought this year and have incurred costs related to transporting their livestock to feed sources instead of hauling feed to their livestock. Under current regulations, these producers are not eligible for ELAP transportation assistance. We respectfully request that FSA exercise its authority to further improve ELAP by providing payments to producers for a portion of the costs they have incurred from transporting their livestock to feed sources," the senators wrote.
The letter was also signed by U.S. Sens. John Barrasso (R-Wyo.), Kevin Cramer (R-N.D.), Mike Crapo (R-Idaho), Steve Daines (R-Mont.), John Hickenlooper (D-Colo.), John Hoeven (R-N.D.), Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.), Mike Lee (R-Utah), Cynthia Lummis (R-Wyo.), Roger Marshall (R-Kan.), Jerry Moran (R-Kan.), Patty Murray (D-Wash.), Jim Risch (R-Idaho), Mitt Romney (R-Utah), Mike Rounds (R-S.D.), Kyrsten Sinema (D-Ariz.), and Tina Smith (D-Minn.).
Text of the letter:
The Honorable Zach Ducheneaux
U.S. Department of Agriculture Farm Service Agency
1400 Independence Avenue, S.W.
Dear Administrator Ducheneaux:
As the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Farm Service Agency (FSA) continues working to assist farmers and ranchers affected by this year's widespread and devastating drought, we write to request that the agency address a gap in coverage under the Emergency Assistance for Livestock, Honeybees and Farm-Raised Fish Program (ELAP).
As you know, ELAP plays a critical role in assisting producers who face losses due to adverse weather events like the severe drought across the country this year. We appreciate USDA's recent efforts to improve ELAP coverage by reimbursing producers for a portion of their feed transportation costs and by lowering the threshold for assistance for water transportation costs.
While livestock producers welcomed these improvements to ELAP assistance, we continue to hear from producers who have been severely affected by drought this year and have incurred costs related to transporting their livestock to feed sources instead of hauling feed to their livestock. Under current regulations, these producers are not eligible for ELAP transportation assistance. We respectfully request that FSA exercise its authority to further improve ELAP by providing payments to producers for a portion of the costs they have incurred from transporting their livestock to feed sources.
It is critically important that USDA disaster programs appropriately respond to the challenges that farmers and ranchers face during difficult times. Thank you for your efforts on behalf of U.S. agriculture and for your prompt consideration of this request.

Rohanské hodinky ze Sychrova () je iluminovaný rukopis hodinek, vytvořený na začátku 16. století (v rozmezí 1490–1510, uvádí se i datace: začátek 15. století), dnes uložený v Národní knihovně České republiky, sign. VI D 25.

Okolnosti vzniku nejsou známé, iluminace malovali čtyři malíři někdy na začátku 16. století asi v severní Francii. Kodex je psán na pergamenu, v novější převazbě. Rukopis nenese žádné známky objednávky přímo pro konkrétního člena rodu Rohanů, o vlastnictví svědčí poznámky o provenienci z 18. století zapsané v knize (knihu měl objednat Pierre de Rohan-Gié). Rohanové si rukopis přivezli na Sychrov, kdy byl uložen v zámecké knihovně (na přídeští je umístěno rohanské ex libris a signatura zámecké knihovny VII H/1 2), po konfiskaci rohanského majetku byla kniha převzata roku 1951 Národní knihovnou (tehdy Národní a universitní knihovnou, první signatura byla Cim D17).

V roce 2008 podle rukopisu vznikla faksimile, roku 2013 byla prezentována jako jeden z hlavních exponátů výstavy pořádané během Roku francouzské kultury ("Francouzské umění ze šlechtických sbírek").

Amanda Epp CEO at ScriptDrop Tells Us How Pandemic Built Team Resiliency and Growth
Amanda Epp: Thank you for asking. Certainly, it has been an adjustment for all, but we are doing well and making the best things. If there has been any silver-lining, during the stay-at-home-orders, I was able to spend more time with my husband and daughter.
Tell us about you, your career, how you joined ScriptDrop.
Amanda Epp: Before joining ScriptDrop, I was the first hired employee at CoverMyMeds, a healthcare IT company that sold for more than $1 billion to McKesson Corporation in 2017. At CoverMyMeds, I played an integral role in the company's exponential growth and eventually became Director of New Product Implementation. I joined ScriptDrop as one of their first employees and served as president before assuming the CEO position.
How does ScriptDrop innovate?
Amanda Epp: It is important to point out that ScriptDrop's core mission is to expand access to medication across the globe. We believe that medication should be as accessible as any other e-commerce platform that enables one-click orders. We are innovative and unique in that we allow consumers to fill prescriptions from their preferred pharmacy, delivered to their doorstep. We are a prescription delivery solution, not a dispensing pharmacy. We leave filling medication to pharmacists — instead, we partner with pharmacies small and large to deliver directly to consumers. Additionally, we partner with a vast network of courier companies to ensure timely delivery of medications via our simplified texting solution.
Amanda Epp: We are coping well. The reality is that ScriptDrop, even prior to the pandemic, was already growing rather quickly, but solely in the business-to-business space as we didn't yet have a consumer-facing component though it was on our product road map. Then COVID-19 hit, and something as simple and, for some, critical to their health and wellbeing, such as picking up their medication, was deemed dangerous. With social distancing orders staying in effect for weeks, it also impacted pharmacists who needed additional options for home delivery. That was the driver for us as a company to fast-track our consumer-facing offering.
As a result, in March of this year, we launched our patient-initiated delivery solution to help vulnerable patients during the COVID-19 crisis. Patient-initiated delivery was always part of the company's long-term plan. We decided to accelerate the launch of the platform to support the growing needs of consumers during the pandemic. Completing a patient-facing product in such a short time frame was a bold move that helped us grow its list of partners exponentially. We also experienced a 363% delivery volume increase from February to April 2020, and between last year at this time, and this year there was a 220% increase in revenue (2019-2020).
Amanda Epp: As CEO, there are always difficult choices to make, and the pandemic compounded that on many levels. As I mentioned, prior to COVID-19, ScriptDrop was already expanding rapidly, and we had plans in place to hire more staff to support that growth, but there was simply no way to predict the long-term ramifications. Do we hire or put a freeze on that initiative?
The executive team decided to forge ahead with our plans to bring on more staff, and we went from a business of 89 employees to more than 170, including part-timers and temps. This kind of growth, even without a pandemic to navigate, comes at very high risk. If our technology and new consumer delivery solution had issues, we could have lost the trust of both the pharmacists and consumers using the delivery service. Perhaps the best lesson learned was that I have a truly dedicated and resilient team who were able to take on new and challenging responsibilities during the pandemic. They just dug in and got the job done. If something did not work – we just kept trying.
Amanda Epp: The ecosystem of prescription delivery and healthcare IT solutions is growing rapidly with several players, but I believe that is a good thing for the industry as a whole. Competition drives us to consistently improve all aspects of our business. We plan to stay in the game with continuous innovation, new and better services, and making the customer experience as seamless as possible. We also recently closed our growth fund round, bringing the total to $27 million since the company's inception in 2017. With the funding, we will expand operations and expedite new partnerships to add our growing list of partners, including prominent pharmacies.
Amanda Epp: I don't believe any of us could have adequately prepared for what the pandemic has thrown our way, but if there has been any positives, which I say cautiously, often the most challenging of times forces business to sink or swim. The ScriptDrop team has certainly risen to the occasion, and we are excited about what the future holds for the company well beyond the pandemic.

Lucio Del Piccolo was born on 15th February 1969 in Trieste, the so-called "city of coffee" where the consumption of coffee is double the Italian national average.
With a diploma in thermo-technology, he works as shift foreman in a new generation thermoelectric plant.
Lucio has held a range of trade union managerial positions over the years and is currently working in training and professional development.
He started collecting in 2001, almost by chance, when he bought a rare model of a coffee maker at an antiques market.
His curiosity in the coffee industry triggered by this episode led him to set up a blog in 2008 to share his news, information and experiences with other coffee enthusiasts.
In three years, his blog already had over 50,000 followers. He has built up special relations with a number of important world collectors. Lucio devotes his time to searching for the rarest models and has made in-depth studies of patents and manufacturing techniques, materials and the relevant systems.

Genovefa von Weber (née  Brenner; 2 January 1764 – 13 March 1798) was a German opera singer and actress. She was born in Oberdorf, Allgäu, Germany and died in Salzburg, Austria. She was the mother of composer Carl Maria von Weber.

Life
Genovefa was baptized into the Roman Catholic faith in Oberdorf (today's Marktoberdorf). At the time she was born, the castle in Oberdorf was the summer residence of Prince-Bishopric of Augsburg, Prince Clemens Wenceslaus of Saxony. She was the fourth child of Marx Brenner, a carpenter working at the Prince Bishop's court, and Maria Victoria Hindelang.

On 20 August 1785, at the age of 21, Genovefa married the 51 year old Franz Anton von Weber (1734-1812) at Schottenkirche, a parish church in Vienna. It was Weber's second marriage. He had two daughters and two sons from his first marriage; and three children with Genovefa. Two of their children died in the childhood.

Franz Anton was in the official service of the Prince-Bishopric of Hildesheim, after which he served as a military officer in the service of the Duchy of Holstein, then, as a music director of a traveling theater group, before became a Kapellmeister at the Princely Court in Eutin, a district capital of Eastern Holstein. Franz Anton was a member of the Freemasons. His brother, Fridolin Weber, who died in 1785, was the father of Mozart's wife, Constanze. Through her marriage to Franz Anton, Genovefa became Constanze Mozart's aunt.

Franz Anton met Genovefa during summer in Vienna of 1783 when he visited his two sons from his first marriage, Fridolin d. J. and Edmund. They were the students of Joseph Haydn. At that time, Genovefa was working as a singer in Vienna. She studied acting and singing under Joseph Lange, and Vincenzo Righini, who was a Kapellmeister in Vienna.

After their marriage, Franz Anton and Genovefa moved to Eutin with the two sons of his first marriage. On 18 or 19 November 1786, Genovefa gave birth to her first son, Carl Maria von Weber. Carl Maria's interest in music was nurtured from a very young age and heavily influenced by his parents' musical activities. Soon after the birth of Carl Maria in 1787, Genovefa and her husband moved to Hamburg. In 1789, Franz Anton founded a traveling theater company. Their children grew up in the traveling theater environment. Carl Maria was less than five years old when he performed on the stage for the first time. The family gave many performances from Meiningen in 1789, to Nuremberg, Erlangen, Ansbach and Bayreuth from 1791 to 1794, and later to Hildburghausen, Rudolstadt and Weimar in 1794. During this period, Genovefa gave birth to Georg Friedrich Carl in 1789 and Maria Adelheid Antonia in 1797. Georg Friedrich died during infancy while Maria Adelheid died when she was a year old.

While staying in Hildburghausen, Genovefa became severely ill. Due to her illness, her family did not travel frequently for performances. In 1796, Carl Maria continued his piano lessons with Johann Peter Heuschkel (1773-1853) in Hildburghausen.

In 1794, Genovefa appeared regularly as a singer in several parts of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe's theater in various roles in Weimar. On 5 September 1794, Franz Anton sent a letter from Rudolstadtto to Goethe asking him to allow his wife's early dismissal from her contract. Quoted in his letter, "During the employment, there were so many infinitesimal disorder and things which did not allow us to stay longer.". Goethe corresponded to the request in his letter reply dated 23 September 1794.

At the end of 1797, Weber family moved to Salzburg, where Franz Anton had a brief appointment as Kapellmeister and as an impresario, while Carl Maria acquired first basic knowledge of the sentence technique of music counterpoint with Michael Haydn, the younger brother of Joseph Haydn.

Genovefa Weber died of tuberculosis at age 34 on 13 March 1798 in Salzburg. She did not have the opportunity to experience Carl Maria's first published work, a series of six fughetta for piano, which he wrote at the age of 12, the same year she died . Her memorial is located at the cemetery of St. Sebastian, Salzburg in an artificial "family grave" of Mozart, created by Johann Evangelist Engl in 1901.

Genoveva-Brenner-Weg is a street in her birthplace, Marktoberdorf, that was named after her to honor her contributions in music.
