Can Sudden Infant Death Syndrome Be Prevented?
Blog Can Sudden Infant Death Syndrome Be Prevented?
Sudden Infant Death Syndrom (SIDS) is the sudden death during sleep of an apparently healthy child, under the age of one. A diagnosis of SIDS can only be applied after adequate post mortem investigations reveal no other causes. SIDS could be said to be a sudden death during sleep for no apparent reason.
It is impossible to predict if a child will succumb to SIDS. Medical research has failed to pinpoint a single exact cause but it has indicated various "risk factors" Knowing where the risk are can help you to eliminate them and thereby reduce the risk of SIDS by up to 75%. Use these guidelines to help provide a safe sleep environment for your baby.
*Put your baby to sleep on his back.
The back to sleep campaign is thought to have reduced Sudden Infant deaths by between 50 – 75%. This is fairly new advice. Older mums (like me!) were probably told to put babies to sleep on their stomachs. However, medical opinion is unanimous. Putting baby to sleep on his/her back is the single most important thing you can do to prevent SIDS.
*Use a firm Mattress with a fitted sheet.
Do not put baby to sleep (even for a nap) on soft surfaces such as water beds, sofa cushions, sheepskins or sleeping bags.
Make sure that baby's face stays uncovered and that blankets cannot shuffle up during the night. It is better to use sleep clothing rather than blankets. If you do use blanket make sure that you place baby at the foot of the crib (with his feet to the bottom) and the blanket firmly tucked under the mattress and no higher than baby's chest.
Do not smoke during pregnancy and do not allow others to smoke round your baby.
*Sleep near to your baby.
It is suggested that you should keep baby in the parent's bedroom until 6 months old. It is NOT intended that you share a bed with your infant. It is hard to follow the SIDS prevention rules in an adult bed. The mattress is usually too soft and the pillows and fluffy bedding provide addition risks.
The room should be at a temperature that is comfortable for an adult. Do not use too many clothes or blankets.
*Make sure everyone knows these prevention tips.
Some of this advise is new (especially back to sleep) and older carers may not know. It is important that everyone who looks after you baby is aware of the steps to keep your baby safe.

\section{Introduction}
Quantum metrology is a field that utilizes the
character of quantum mechanics to improve the precision of a
parameter under detection~\cite{review}. For the past few years,
this field has drawn a lot of attention and has been developing rapidly~\cite{S.loyd,3,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18}.
Quantum Fisher information(QFI) is a central concept in quantum metrology
because it depicts the lower bound on the variance of the estimator
$\hat{\theta}$ for the parameter $\theta$ due to the Cram\'{e}r-Rao
theorem~\cite{Fisher,FI,FI-1}
\begin{equation}
\mathrm{var}(\hat{\theta})\geq\frac{1}{\nu F},
\end{equation}
where $\mathrm{var(\cdot)}$ is the variance, $\nu$ is the number
of repeated experiments and $F$ is the QFI. However, the QFI is not just limited
in the field of quantum metrology. It has been widely applied in other
aspects of quantum physics~\cite{Luo2004, Luo2006, Paris, Lu, lu2, Ma, Pezze09, wootters, Braunstein,  Pezze, Yu, Toth, mine},
like quantum information and open quantum systems. Thus, it is necessary
and meaningful to study the quantum Fisher information as well as its properties
and dynamical behaviors under various circumstances.

Quantum Fisher information is a local quantity, which can be intuitively interpreted as the  ``velocity" at which the density matrix moves for a given parameter value. This physical interpretation comes from the fact that the QFI is
dependent on the parameterized density matrix $\rho_{\theta}$ and its first derivative $\partial_{\theta}\rho_{\theta}$. Utilizing the spectral decomposition, when the eigenstates of $\rho_{\theta}$ as projectors, act on $\rho_{\theta}$ and its first derivative, the value is only related to the spectral decomposition within the support, which strongly hints that the QFI may be expressed in the representation of the density matrix's support. To find such an expression is the major motivation of this paper.

In this paper, we provide a new expression of the quantum Fisher information
in the representation of the density matrix's support. With this expression,
for a non-full rank density matrix, especially for a infinite dimension one, the QFI may be solved in a finite support space without realizing the knowledge out of the support.
Recently, it is found~\cite{Toth,Yu} that the QFI
can be written in the form of the convex roof of variance. To obtain the QFI,
one should take the minimum value running over all the possible pure-state ensembles.
Utilizing the new expression, we give the condition
when the ensemble from the spectral decomposition is the optimal ensemble in which the minimum value attains. Besides, we also provide a matrix representation form of the QFI and give two examples of it.

\section{Fisher information for a non-full rank density matrix}
In the following we consider a $\mathrm{N}$-dimensional
system ($\mathrm{N}$ can be infinite) with the density operator $\rho_{\theta}$,
which is dependent on the parameter $\theta$. Assume that the spectral decomposition of
the density operator is given by
\begin{equation}
\rho_{\theta}=\sum_{i=1}^{\mathrm{s}}p_{i}|\psi_{i}\rangle\langle\psi_{i}|,\label{spectrum}
\end{equation}
where $p_{i}$ is a eigenvalue and $|\psi_{i}\rangle$ is a eigenstate.
$\mathrm{s}$ is the dimension of the support set of $\rho_{\theta}$, denoted as $\mathrm{supp}(\rho_{\theta})$, i.e., $\mathrm{s}=\mathrm{dim}[\mathrm{supp}(\rho_{\theta})]$.

For a parameterized quantum state $\rho_{\theta}$, the quantum Fisher information
$F$ is defined as below~\cite{FI,FI-1}
\begin{equation}
F:={\rm tr}(\rho_{\theta}L^{2}),\label{eq:df}
\end{equation}
where $L$ is the so-called symmetric logarithmic derivative operator and determined by
\begin{equation}
\partial_{\theta}\rho_{\theta}=\frac{1}{2}\left(L\rho_{\theta}+\rho_{\theta}L\right).\label{eq:rho}
\end{equation}
In the eigenbasis of $\rho_{\theta}$, above equation reads
\begin{equation}
\langle\psi_{i}|\partial_{\theta}\rho_{\theta}|\psi_{j}\rangle
=\frac{1}{2}(p_{i}+p_{j})L_{ij},\label{sld}
\end{equation}
where $L_{ij}:=\langle\psi_{i}|L|\psi_{j}\rangle$. From above equation, one can find that $L_{ij}$ is in principle supported by the full space, but the
value of $L_{ij}$ for $i,j>\mathrm{s}$ is arbitrary because above equation is always established for any value of $L_{ij}$ when $i,j>\mathrm{s}$. Nevertheless, the quantum Fisher information is still a determinate quantity because the calculation of it does not use those values of $L_{ij}$ for $i,j>\mathrm{s}$, which we will show below. Thus, one can set $L_{ij}=0$ for $i,j>\mathrm{s}$ as a matter of convenience.

By substituting Eq.~(\ref{spectrum}) and the normalization relation
$\mathbb{I}=\sum_{j=1}^{\mathrm{N}}|\psi_{j}\rangle\langle\psi_{j}|$ into Eq.~(\ref{eq:df}),
one can obtain the quantum Fisher information as
\begin{equation}
F=\sum_{i=1}^{\mathrm{s}}\sum_{j=1}^{\mathrm{N}}p_{i}L_{ij}L_{ji}.\label{eq:ff}
\end{equation}
Here $\mathbb{I}$ is the identity operator. All $p_{i}$ here is greater
than zero because the index $i\leq \mathrm{s}$ and satisfies $\sum_{i=1}^{\mathrm{s}}p_{i}=1$.
From this equation we see that the randomicity of $L_{ij}$ for $i,j>\mathrm{s}$ does
not affect the certainty of the quantum Fisher information.
As $p_{i}>0$, Eq.~(\ref{sld}) can be rewritten into
\begin{equation}
L_{ij}=\frac{2(\partial_{\theta}\rho_{\theta})_{ij}}{p_{i}+p_{j}},
\end{equation}
where $(\partial_{\theta}\rho_{\theta})_{ij}:=\langle\psi_{i}|\partial_{\theta}\rho_{\theta}|\psi_{j}\rangle$.
Utilizing this expression, Eq.~(\ref{eq:ff}) can be written in the form
\begin{equation}
F_{\theta}=\sum_{i=1}^{\mathrm{s}}\sum_{j=1}^{\mathrm{N}}\frac{4p_{i}}{(p_{i}+p_{j})^{2}}|
(\partial_{\theta}\rho_{\theta})_{ij}|^{2},\label{fisher}
\end{equation}
where the Hermiticity of the operator $\partial_{\theta}\rho_{\theta}$
was used. Next, from the spectral decomposition of $\rho_{\theta}$,
one can find that
\begin{equation}
(\partial_{\theta}\rho_{\theta})_{ij}=\partial_{\theta}p_{i}\delta_{ij}+(p_{j}-p_{i})
\langle\psi_{i}|\partial_{\theta}\psi_{j}\rangle,\label{par}
\end{equation}
where we have used the equation
\begin{equation}
\langle\psi_{i}|\partial_{\theta}\psi_{j}\rangle=-\langle\partial_{\theta}\psi_{i}|\psi_{j}\rangle,\label{eq:syme}
\end{equation}
resulted from the orthogonality $\langle\psi_{i}|\psi_{j}\rangle=\delta_{ij}$. For $i\in [1, \mathrm{s}]$ and $j\in [\mathrm{s}+1, \mathrm{N}]$, the expression of $(\partial_{\theta}\rho_{\theta})_{ij}$ reduces to $-p_{i}\langle\psi_{i}|\partial_{\theta}\psi_{j}\rangle$.
Substituting Eq.~(\ref{par}) into Eq.~(\ref{fisher}), we have
\begin{equation}
F_{\theta} = \sum_{i=1}^{\mathrm{s}}\frac{1}{p_{i}}(\partial_{\theta}p_{i})^{2}+\sum_{i=1}^{\mathrm{s}}\sum_{j=1}^{\mathrm{N}}\frac{4p_{i}(p_{i}-p_{j})^{2}}
{(p_{i}+p_{j})^{2}}|\langle\psi_{i}|\partial_{\theta}\psi_{j}\rangle|^{2}. \label{eq:fisher_c}
\end{equation}

Furthermore, with the knowledge that $\sum_{j=1}^{\mathrm{N}}=\sum_{j=1}^{\mathrm{s}}+\sum_{j=\mathrm{s}+1}^{\mathrm{N}}$,
the second item of above expression can be separated into two parts $F_{1}$
and $F_{2}$. The first part $F_{1}$ reads
\begin{equation}
F_{1}=\sum_{i,j=1}^{\mathrm{s}}\frac{4p_{i}(p_{i}-p_{j})^{2}}{(p_{i}+p_{j})^{2}}|\langle\psi_{i}|\partial_{\theta}\psi_{j}\rangle|^{2},
\end{equation}
 and the second part $F_{2}$ reads
\begin{equation}
F_{2}=\sum_{i=1}^{\mathrm{s}}\sum_{j=\mathrm{s}+1}^{\mathrm{N}}4p_{i}|\langle\psi_{j}|\partial_{\theta}\psi_{i}\rangle|^{2}.
\end{equation}
Based on the normalization relation, it is easy to find that
\begin{equation}
\sum_{j=\mathrm{s}+1}^{\mathrm{N}}|\psi_{j}\rangle\langle\psi_{j}|=\mathbb{I}-\sum_{j=1}^{\mathrm{s}}|\psi_{j}\rangle\langle\psi_{j}|.
\end{equation}
Substituting this equation into the expression of $F_{2}$, one can obtain
\begin{equation}
F_{2}=\sum_{i=1}^{\mathrm{s}}4p_{i}\langle\partial_{\theta}\psi_{i}|\partial_{\theta}\psi_{i}\rangle
-\sum_{i,j=1}^{\mathrm{s}}4p_{i}|\langle\psi_{j}|\partial_{\theta}\psi_{i}\rangle|^{2}.
\end{equation}
Then, the quantum Fisher information can be expressed by
\begin{eqnarray}
F_{\theta} & = & \sum_{i=1}^{\mathrm{s}}\frac{1}{p_{i}}\left(\partial_{\theta} p_{i}\right)^2+
\sum_{i=1}^{\mathrm{s}}4p_{i}\langle\partial_{\theta}\psi_{i}|\partial_{\theta}\psi_{i}\rangle  \notag \\
& & -\sum_{i,j=1}^{\mathrm{s}}\frac{8p_{i}p_{j}}{p_{i}+p_{j}}|\langle\psi_{i}|\partial_{\theta}
\psi_{j}\rangle|^{2}.\quad\label{eq:qFI}
\end{eqnarray}

From this equation one can find that the quantum Fisher information for a non-full rank density matrix is determined by its support. The information of eigenstates
out of the support is not necessary for the calculation of the QFI. This advantage would bring some convenience for the calculation in some cases, especially when $\mathrm{N}$ is infinite and $\mathrm{s}$ is finite.

According the theory of the classical Fisher information~\cite{Fisher,FI,FI-1}, it is natural to treat the first item of Eq.~(\ref{eq:qFI}) as the classical contribution of quantum Fisher information~\cite{Paris} because $\sum_{i=1}^{\mathrm{s}}\frac{1}{p_{i}}(\partial_{\theta}p_{i})^{2}=4\sum_{i=1}^{\mathrm{s}}
\left(\partial_{\theta}\sqrt{p_{i}}\right)^{2}$.
Then the quantum Fisher information for a quantum system can be  separated into
two parts, the classical contribution and quantum contribution, namely,
\begin{equation}
F_{\theta}=F_{\mathrm{ct}}+F_{\mathrm{qt}},
\end{equation}
where the classical contribution reads
\begin{equation}
F_{\mathrm{ct}}=\sum_{i=1}^{\mathrm{s}}4\left(\partial_{\theta}\sqrt{p_{i}}\right)^{2},\label{eq:cFI}
\end{equation}
and the quantum contribution reads
\begin{equation}
F_{\mathrm{qt}}=\sum_{i=1}^{\mathrm{s}}4p_{i}\langle\partial_{\theta}\psi_{i}|\partial_{\theta}\psi_{i}\rangle
-\sum_{i,j=1}^{\mathrm{s}}\frac{8p_{i}p_{j}}{p_{i}+p_{j}}|\langle\psi_{i}|\partial_{\theta}
\psi_{j}\rangle|^{2}. \label{eq:q}
\end{equation}

The separation of the quantum Fisher information is not just in form.
From the equations above, one can find that the classical contribution
of the quantum Fisher information is a special case of the classical
Fisher information. It can be treated as the classical Fisher information
obtained through the measurement $\{|\psi_{i}\rangle\}$ in the eigenspace
of $\rho_{\theta}$: $\mathbb{E}^{\mathrm{N}}$. The eigenspace $\mathbb{E}^{\mathrm{N}}$ is
spanned by the basis $\left\{|\psi_{i}\rangle \right\}$, and
$\left\{p_{i}\right\}$ is a classical distribution in this space.
From Eq.~(\ref{eq:cFI}), it is not difficult to find that the classical contribution $F_{\mathrm{ct}}$ is only related to the derivative of the eigenvalues, which indicates
that this part of information is coming from the classical distribution
in $\mathbb{E}^{\mathrm{N}}$. Moreover, we find that the classical contribution has the following properties:
(1) it vanishes for pure states;
(2) it vanishes for the unitary parametrization;
(3) it is invariant under unitary transformation of density matrix,
no matter the transformation is parameter-dependent or not.

In the mean time, with some transformation, Eq.~(\ref{eq:q}) can be rewritten as
\begin{equation}
F_{\mathrm{qt}}=\sum_{i=1}^{\mathrm{s}}p_{i}F_{Q}(|\psi_{i}\rangle)-\sum_{i\neq j}^{\mathrm{s}}\frac{8p_{i}p_{j}}{p_{i}+p_{j}}|\langle\psi_{i}|\partial_{\theta}
\psi_{j}\rangle|^{2}, \label{eq:fqt}
\end{equation}
where
\begin{equation}
F_{Q}(|\psi_{i}\rangle)=4\left(\langle\partial_{\theta}\psi_{i}|\partial_{\theta}\psi_{i}\rangle
-|\langle\psi_{i}|\partial_{\theta}\psi_{i}\rangle|^{2}\right)
\end{equation}
is the quantum Fisher information of the eigenstate $|\psi_{i}\rangle$.
From this equation, it is clear that $F_{\mathrm{qt}}$ is related to the basis of $\mathbb{E}^{\mathrm{N}}$. In $\mathbb{E}^{\mathrm{N}}$, $F_{\mathrm{qt}}$ is determined by the weighted average of all the quantum Fisher information $F_{Q}(|\psi_{i}\rangle)$ of the basis vector $|\psi_{i}\rangle$ and the coupling between these vectors. This manifests that this part of information originates from the quantum structure of space $\mathbb{E}^{\mathrm{N}}$. These are the geometric meanings of the classical and quantum contribution as well as the intrinsic reason for the separation.

We know the classical contribution of the QFI always vanishes for the unitary parametrization. But for a non-unitary parametrization procedure, including the channel estimation~\cite{channel_es,channel_es1,channel_es2,channel_es3,channel_es4,channel_es5} and the noise estimation~\cite{Chaves,NJP}, the classical contribution does have an influence on the precision. However, only improving the classical contribution without enhancing the quantum counterpart, the precision is not available to surpass the shot-noise limit, the lower limit for a total classical scenario. The estimation of the decoherence strength~\cite{NJP}, in which the classical contribution plays the leading role, is an example of this scenario.

The quantum Fisher information is a local quantity, which can be intuitively interpreted as the ``velocity" at which the matrix moves for a given parameter value. In mathematics, this means that the quantum Fisher information depends on the density matrix $\rho_{\theta}$ and its first derivative $\partial_{\theta}\rho_{\theta}$. Utilizing the spectral decomposition, there exists items such as $|\psi_{i}\rangle\langle\partial_{\theta}\psi_{j}|$ and $|\partial_{\theta}\psi_{i}\rangle\langle\psi_{j}|$.
When these items are traced with the eigenstates out of the support, the values turn out to be zero.  This is the intuitive reason that the QFI can be expressed in the representation of the support. If the QFI is related to the higher order derivatives, like the second one  $\partial^2_{\theta}\rho_{\theta}$, then there would exist the item like $|\partial_{\theta}\psi_{i}\rangle\langle\partial_{\theta}\psi_{j}|$. As $|\partial_{\theta}\psi_{i}\rangle$ is not always orthogonal with $|\psi_{j}\rangle$, when this item is traced with the projectors out of the support, the value cannot always be zero, then the quantum Fisher information has to be related to the whole Hilbert space, rather than the support only.

For the unitary parametrization $\exp(i\theta H)$, the classical contribution vanishes, and the quantum Fisher information reduces to
\begin{equation}
F_{Q}=\sum_{i=1}^{\mathrm{s}}p_{i}F_{Q}(|\psi_{i}\rangle)-\sum_{i\neq j}^{\mathrm{s}}\frac{8p_{i}p_{j}}{p_{i}+p_{j}}|\langle\psi_{i}|H|
\psi_{j}\rangle|^{2} \label{eq:fqt_1}.
\end{equation}
In the mean time,  $F_{Q}(|\psi_{i}\rangle)$ reduces to the form that is proportional to the variance of operator $H$ on the eigenstates, i.e.,
\begin{equation}
F_{Q}(|\psi_{i}\rangle)=4(\Delta H)^2_{|\psi_{i}\rangle},
\end{equation}
where $(\Delta H)^2_{|\psi_{i}\rangle}:=\langle\psi_{i}|H^2|\psi_{i}\rangle
-|\langle\psi_{i}|H|\psi_{i}\rangle|^2$ is the variance.
Recently, T\'{o}th and Petz~\cite{Toth} found that for a rank-2 system the quantum Fisher information can be treated as the convex roof of the variance, then Yu~\cite{Yu} proves that
this theorem is also established for a general system, namely,
\begin{equation}
F_{\theta}=\min_{\{q_{k}, |\Psi_{k}\rangle\}}4\sum_{k}q_{k}(\Delta H)^2_{|\Psi_{k}\rangle} \label{eq:Toth_eq}.
\end{equation}
Here $\{q_{k}, |\Psi_{k}\rangle\}$ refers to a set of pure-state ensembles, which satisfies
\begin{equation}
\rho_{\theta}=\sum_{k}q_{k}|\Psi_{k}\rangle\langle\Psi_{k}|.
\end{equation}
One should notice that the ensemble of the eigenvalues and eigenstates $\{p_{i}, |\psi_{i}\rangle\}$ is one of these ensembles,
but not the only one. Comparing Eq.~(\ref{eq:fqt_1}) with Eq.~(\ref{eq:Toth_eq}), one can find that the condition for the ensemble $\{p_{i}, |\psi_{i}\rangle\}$ being the optimal ensemble is that the transition item
\begin{equation}
\langle\psi_{i}|H|\psi_{j}\rangle=0, \mbox{ for any } i\neq j.
\end{equation}
For example, in some Mach-Zehnder interferometer, $H=\frac{1}{2i}(a^{\dagger}b-ab^{\dagger})$, where $a$, $b$ are the annihilation operators of two modes, and $a^{\dagger}$, $b^{\dagger}$ are the creation operators respectively. Choosing an appropriate input state, like an even state~\cite{mine} or a Fock state~\cite{Pezze} in one port, the item $\langle\psi_{i}|H|\psi_{j}\rangle$ vanishes for any $i\neq j$, then the ensemble $\{p_{i}, |\psi_{i}\rangle\}$ is the optimal ensemble and the QFI reduces to $F_{\theta}=4\sum_{i=1}^{\mathrm{s}}p_{i}(\Delta H)^2_{|\psi_{i}\rangle}$.

This condition can be checked through another way. Based on Ref.~\cite{Yu}, we introduce an observable
\begin{equation}
\mathrm{Y} = \sum_{i,j}\frac{2\sqrt{p_{i}p_{j}}}{p_{i}+p_{j}}H_{ij}|\psi_{i}\rangle\langle\psi_{j}|,
\end{equation}
where $H_{ij}=\langle\psi_{i}|H|\psi_{j}\rangle$. Denote the spectral decomposition $\mathrm{Y}=\sum_{k}\alpha_{k}|y_{k}\rangle\langle y_{k}|$, then the optimal pure state can be constructed as
\begin{equation}
|U_{k}\rangle = \frac{1}{\sqrt{u_{k}}}\sum_{i}U_{ki}\sqrt{p_{i}}|\psi_{i}\rangle,
\end{equation}
with $u_{k}=\sum_{i}|U_{ki}|^2 p_{i}$ and $U_{ki}=\langle\psi_{i}|y_{k}\rangle$. When $|U_{k}\rangle=|\psi_{k}\rangle$, there must be $|y_{k}\rangle=|\psi_{k}\rangle$. As $|y_{k}\rangle$ is the eigenstate of observable Y, then one can see that the condition for $|y_{k}\rangle=|\psi_{k}\rangle$ is that all the off-diagonal elements of observable Y have to vanish, i.e., $H_{ij}=0$ for any $i\neq j$, which coincides with our result.

\section{Matrix representation}
In this section we show a matrix representation
of the quantum Fisher information. We consider the classical contribution first. Define a $\mathrm{N}$-dimensional diagonal matrix $D$ with elements $D_{ii}=p_{i}$, then the classical contribution can be rewritten in the form
\begin{equation}
F_{\mathrm{ct}}=4\mathrm{Tr}\left(\partial_{\theta}\sqrt{D}\right)^{2}.
\end{equation}
This equation is equivalent to Eq.~(\ref{eq:cFI}) as $p_{i}=0$ for $i\in [\mathrm{s}+1,\mathrm{N}]$.

Define a $\mathrm{N}$-dimensional
matrix $\mathcal{P}$ with the elements $\mathcal{P}_{ij}:=|\langle\psi_{i}|\partial_{\theta}\psi_{j}\rangle|^{2}$.
It is easy to see that the matrix $\mathcal{P}$ is real and symmetric.
The symmetry can be proved by using Eq.~(\ref{eq:syme}) into the
definition above.
Denote a constant $\mathrm{N}$-dimensional matrix $\mathcal{I}$ whose elements
are 1, i.e., $\mathcal{I}_{ij}=1$ for any $i$ and $j$, and define
a $\mathrm{N}$-dimensional block diagonal matrix $\mathcal{G}$, which is
$\mathcal{G}=\mathrm{diag}[\mathcal{H}_{\mathrm{s}\times \mathrm{s}},0_{(\mathrm{N}-\mathrm{s})\times(\mathrm{N}-\mathrm{s})}]$,
where $\mathcal{H}_{\mathrm{s}\times \mathrm{s}}$ is a $\mathrm{s}$-dimensional real symmetric
matrix. The elements of $\mathcal{H}$ are the harmonic mean values,
$\mathcal{H}_{ij}=2p_{i}p_{j}/(p_{i}+p_{j}).$
With the help of above matrices, as well as the symmetry of $\mathcal{P},$
i.e., $\mathcal{P}_{ij}=\mathcal{P}_{ji}$, the quantum contribution
can be written in the form
\begin{equation}
F_{\mathrm{qt}}=4\mathrm{Tr}\left[\left(D\mathcal{I}-\mathcal{G}\right)\mathcal{P}\right].\label{eq:quamtum}
\end{equation}
This is the matrix representation of quantum contribution of the QFI.
It is easy to see that the coefficient matrix $D\mathcal{I}-\mathcal{G}$ is traceless.

The matrix $\mathcal{P}$ can be treated as the ``transfer'' matrix
between the vector of the eigenstates $(|\psi_{1}\rangle,\cdots,|\psi_{i}\rangle,\cdots,|\psi_{\mathrm{N}}\rangle)^{\mathrm{T}}$
and its derivative vector. For a unitary parametrization,
the element of $\mathcal{P}$ reads $\mathcal{P}_{ij}=|\langle\phi_{i}|H|\phi_{j}\rangle|^{2}$.
In this case, the diagonal element of $\mathcal{P}$ is the survive
probability of the eigenstate $|\phi_{i}\rangle$ under the evolution
$H$ and the non-diagonal element is the transition probability between
$|\phi_{i}\rangle$ and $|\phi_{j}\rangle$ under $H$.

Compared with Eqs.~(\ref{eq:cFI}) and (\ref{eq:q}), the matrix
representation of the quantum Fisher information is related
to the entire $\mathrm{N}$-dimensional space. However, the coefficient matrix
$D$, $\mathcal{G}$ and the ``transfer'' matrix $\mathcal{P}$
are all real and symmetric. For a unitary parametrization, in the matrix representation,
one does not need to calculate the average value of $H^{2}$, but the transition item
$\langle\psi_{i}|H|\psi_{j}\rangle$ has to be calculated through the entire space, not
only those in the support. In the mean time, using the expression of Eq.~(\ref{eq:q}),
one has to calculate the average value of $H^{2}$ under the eigenstates, but the transition item
needn't to be calculated out of the support. These two representations have their own merits and will bring convenience if being used properly.

In the following we give two examples
utilizing this matrix representation. First we apply it in the qubit case. In this case, the parameterized density matrix $\rho_{\theta}$ can be decomposed
as $\rho_{\theta}=\sum_{i=1}^{2}p_{i}(\theta)|\psi_{i}(\theta)\rangle\langle\psi_{i}(\theta)|$.
Then the coefficient matrix reads
\begin{equation}
D\mathcal{I}-\mathcal{G}=\left(\begin{array}{cc}
0 & p_{1}-2\det\rho_{\theta}\\
p_{2}-2\det\rho_{\theta} & 0
\end{array}\right),
\end{equation}
where the equation $p_{1}p_{2}=\det\rho_{\theta}$ has been used.
Thus, it is easy to obtain the quantum contribution as
\begin{equation}
F_{\mathrm{qt}}=4\left(1-4\det\rho_{\theta}\right)\mathcal{P}_{12},\label{eq:qFI-qubit}
\end{equation}
where $\mathcal{P}_{12}=|\langle\psi_{1}|\partial_{\theta}\psi_{2}\rangle|^{2}$.

When the state is a pure state, for instance $p_{1}=1$ and $p_{2}=0$,
there is $\det\rho_{\theta}=0$, then the quantum contribution reduces to
\begin{equation}
F_{\mathrm{qt}} = 4\mathcal{P}_{12}=4|\langle\psi_{1}|\partial_{\theta}\psi_{2}\rangle|^{2}.
\end{equation}
This form coincides with the traditional quantum Fisher
information form for pure state: $F_{Q}=\langle\partial_{\theta}\psi_{1}|\partial_{\theta}\psi_{1}\rangle
-|\langle\psi_{1}|\partial_{\theta}\psi_{1}\rangle|^{2}$,
which can be proved by substituting the normalization relation $\mathbb{I}
=|\psi_{1}\rangle\langle\psi_{1}|+|\psi_{2}\rangle\langle\psi_{2}|$
into the item $\langle\partial_{\theta}\psi_{1}|\partial_{\theta}\psi_{1}\rangle$.
The classical contribution can also be obtained in this case,
which reads
\begin{equation}
F_{\mathrm{ct}}=\frac{\left(\partial_{\theta}p_{1,2}\right)^{2}}{\det\rho_{\theta}}
=\frac{\det\rho_{\theta}}{1-4\det\rho_{\theta}}
\left[\partial_{\theta}\left(\ln\det\rho_{\theta}\right)\right]^2  \label{eq:cFI-qubit}
\end{equation}
for mixed states and $F_{\mathrm{ct}}=0$ for pure states. For a unitary parametrization, the quantum contribution reads
\begin{equation}
F_{\mathrm{qt}}=4\left(1-4\det\rho_{0}\right)|\langle\phi_{1}|H|\phi_{2}\rangle|^{2},
\end{equation}
with $|\phi_{i}\rangle$ a eigenstate of $\rho_{0}$. As $D$ is
independent of $\theta$, the classical contribution vanishes for
both mixed and pure states.

Next we give another example. Consider a density matrix with the following form~\cite{Hyllus}
\begin{equation}
\rho_{\theta}=\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}Q_{n}\rho_{\theta}^{(n)},
\end{equation}
where $Q_{n}$ is a real number and independent of $\theta$. $\rho_{\theta}^{(n)}$
is a state of $n$ particles in the entire Hilbert space. This form
is representative for an optical system taking into account the superselection
rules~\cite{Hyllus}. For a unitary parametrization,
the spectral decomposition of $\rho_{\theta}$ reads
\begin{equation}
\rho_{\theta}=\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}\sum_{i=0}^{n}Q_{n}q_{i}^{(n)}|\psi_{i}^{(n)}\rangle\langle\psi_{i}^{(n)}|,
\end{equation}
where $|\psi_{i}^{(n)}\rangle=e^{-iH\theta}|\phi_{i}^{(n)}\rangle$.
In this case, the classical contribution vanishes. If the transition
between the eigenstates in different particle spaces through the Hamiltonian $H$
is forbidden, which is feasible in some cases~\cite{Jzrzyna}, namely, $\langle\phi_{i}^{(n)}|H|\phi_{j}^{(n^{\prime})}\rangle=0$
when $n\neq n^{\prime}$, then the ``transfer'' matrix $\mathcal{P}$
can be written in a block diagonal form $\mathcal{P}=\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}\mathcal{P}^{(n)}$,
where $\mathcal{P}^{(n)}$ is the corresponding ``transfer'' matrix
for fixed $n$ particles. According to the feature
of trace operation, only the corresponding block diagonal part of
the coefficient matrices $D$, $\mathcal{I}$ and $\mathcal{G}$ matters in the
calculation of the quantum contribution.
If we define $D^{(n)}$, $\mathcal{I}^{(n)}$ and $\mathcal{G}^{(n)}$
as the coefficient matrices for fixed $n$ particles, then the block
diagonal parts of $D$, $\mathcal{I}$
and $\mathcal{G}$ can be expressed as $\sum_{n}Q_{n}D^{(n)}$, $\sum_{n}\mathcal{I}^{(n)}$
and $\sum_{n}Q_{n}\mathcal{G}^{(n)}$. Thus, the quantum Fisher information
reads
\begin{equation}
F_{Q}=4\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}Q_{n}\mathrm{Tr}\left[\left(D^{(n)}\mathcal{I}^{(n)}-\mathcal{G}^{(n)}\right)\mathcal{P}^{(n)}\right].
\end{equation}
Also, one can find that the quantum Fisher information $F^{(n)}$ in
the subspace of fixed $n$ particles can be written as
\begin{equation}
F_{Q}^{(n)}=4\mathrm{Tr}\left[\left(D^{(n)}\mathcal{I}^{(n)}-\mathcal{G}^{(n)}\right)\mathcal{P}^{(n)}\right].
\end{equation}
Thus, one can write the total quantum Fisher information in the form
\begin{equation}
F_{Q}=\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}Q_{n}F_{Q}^{(n)}.
\end{equation}
This total quantum Fisher information is the weighted average of all the quantum Fisher
information for fixed $n$ particles. This form of the QFI has been widely used in the optical interferometry devices when no external global phase reference is present~\cite{Demkowicz09}.

More generally, taking into account the transition between the eigenstates in different
particle subspaces, $\mathcal{P}$ can still be separated into blocks according to
the particle number. Denote the sub-block in the upper and lower triangular
of $\mathcal{P}$ between $n$ and $n^{\prime}$ particle subspaces as
$\mathcal{P}^{(nn^{\prime})}$ and $\mathcal{P}^{(n^{\prime}n)}$, respectively.
The diagonal block $\mathcal{P}^{(n)}$ is the same as above.
Then, $\mathcal{P}$ can be expressed in the form
$\mathcal{P}=\sum_{n}\mathcal{P}^{(n)}+\sum_{n\neq n^{\prime}}\mathcal{P}^{(nn^{\prime})}$,
so as $\mathcal{I}$ and $\mathcal{G}$. Here
all the elements of $\mathcal{P}^{(nn^{\prime})}$ is non-negative
based on the property of $\mathcal{P}$. Thus, the total quantum Fisher information
can be written as
\begin{equation}
F_{Q}=\sum_{n}Q_{n}F_{Q}^{(n)}+\sum_{n\neq n^{\prime}}4\mathrm{Tr}\left[C^{(n n^{\prime})}\mathcal{P}^{(n^{\prime}n)}\right],\label{eq:temp}
\end{equation}
where $C^{(nn^{\prime})}=Q_{n}D^{(n)}\mathcal{I}^{(nn^{\prime})}-\mathcal{G}^{(nn^{\prime})}$.

From this equation one can find that when all the elements of $C^{(nn^{\prime})}$ is non-negative, the transition between the eigenstates in different particle subspaces, i.e., the second item of Eq.~(\ref{eq:temp}), can enhance the total QFI. Apart from this condition, the effect has to be discussed case by case.

\section{Conclusion}
In this paper, we provide a new analytic expression of the quantum Fisher information. For a non-full rank density matrix, this new expression is only determined by the support of the density matrix. With this new expression, the QFI for some infinite systems can be solved in a finite support space. This would bring significant advantage during the calculation in some scenarios. Besides, we also provide a matrix representation form of the quantum Fisher information and give two examples.

Strong Guerreros performance not enough, San Diego take 3 points.
Two teams in completely different positions entered the pitch Saturday night. ASC San Diego is battling for the league title, and Oxnard is looking to build for the future as season number two hasn't gone as planned.
Campo Guerrero was full and rocking as nearly 100 fans from the Guerrero faithful weren't going to make it easy for the boys from San Diego.
A win in this fixture would put ASC San Diego in a prime position to capture the league title and it was clear they weren't leaving Campo Guerrero without the full three points.
The score would remain 1-0 entering halftime, and Juan Florez and his Guerrero's team were looking to come out and battle against a top ASC San Diego side.
"Our Guerrero's have shown to be warriors on the field" Florez said.
The second half brought a Guerrero's side that was determined to battle for every ball even if it meant putting their body on the line.
They would continue to collect chances, but it was ASC San Diego who would land the final blow.
"I know that the Guerrero's will continue and we may not be going to the playoffs this year, but we will continue to build for the future" Florez said.
A bright spot for the Guerrero's in this game and the season as a whole was Alberto Anguiano and his dominant play in the midfield.
Anguiano is a force to be reckoned with and as a result has captured the eye of newly added MLS side LAFC, "It makes me want to play harder. I want to get ready to play at a higher level if I do go over and play with those guys" Anguiano said.
The Guerrero's have two games remaining on their schedule and Anguiano and his teammates will push to get two wins in the last two games.
"Kids will benefit from watching our talent and out effort from beginning to end. The results will come and we will continue to adjust to the quality of the rest of the league" Florez said.
The Guerrero's will be traveling to Whittier, California to take on FC Golden State June 18. A team that is also battling to get their hands on the 2018 league title.
"I think you all have a terrific coach. He has done a great job and has gotten a lot out of his players. They've got a lot of heart and they work extremely hard" Korytoski said.
Keep your eye out for the Guerrero's as the building continues and they look to continue to improve in the coming seasons.

Isaiah Coulter
Isaiah Coulter News
Inks futures deal
Coulter signed a reserve/future contract with the Bears on Tuesday, Larry Mayer of the Bears' official site reports.
Analysis: Coulter spent Weeks 11 and 12 with the active roster and received one target, but he was unable to haul it in. He then spent two weeks in COVID protocols, and was restored to the Bears' practice squad on Dec. 28, according to Aaron Wilson of Sportstalk 790 Houston. Coulter will now work to make a bigger impact with the Bears next season.
Placed on practice squad COVID list
The Bears placed Coulter on the practice squad COVID-19 list Thursday.
Analysis: Coulter wasn't expected to play a role in the Bears' Week 15 matchup with the Vikings, but with Allen Robinson being placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Thursday, the team will have to look elsewhere for a possible wide receiver to elevate to the active roster. In two games this season, the 23-year-old has logged 15 offensive snaps, failing to reel in his only target.
Returns to practice squad
Coulter reverted to the Bears' practice squad Friday.
Analysis: Coulter was promoted ahead of the Bears' win over the Lions Thursday. He played 14 of 70 offensive snaps and couldn't haul in his only target.
Elevated for Week 12
Coulter was elevated from the Bears' practice squad to the active roster Wednesday.
Analysis: Coulter will join the active roster for Thursday's matchup with the Lions. The 23-year-old made his season debut last weekend against the Ravens by playing one offensive snap.
Reverts to practice squad
Coulter reverted back to the Bears' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.
Analysis: Coulter was active for his second career game, but he only saw one offensive snap and recorded no stats. A fifth-round selection by the Texans in 2020, Coulter has been with the Bears' practice squad since August.
Called up to active roster
Coulter was elevated from the Bears' practice squad ahead of Sunday's game against the Ravens.
Analysis: Since Allen Robinson (hamstring) is doubtful Sunday, Coulter will serve as an additional depth option at wide receiver. The 23-year-old has appeared in just one regular-season game across his first two seasons in the league.
Let go by Chicago
The Bears waived Coulter on Tuesday, Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune reports.
Analysis: Coulter spent just over a week in Chicago, and as Biggs notes, the team could want to take another look at him on the practice squad. A 2020 fifth-round pick of the Texans, Coulter only appeared in one game as a rookie.
Aug 31, 2021 12:08 PM EST
Expected to join Bears
Coulter is expected to sign with the Bears on Sunday, Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune reports.
Analysis: Coulter was cut by Houston on Aug. 16, but it didn't take long for him to find a new team. Coulter tried out with the Bears earlier in the week and apparently impressed enough for the team to sign him. As a rookie in 2020, Coulter appeared in only one game and played six offensive snaps with the Texans.
Time in Houston at an end
The Texans cut Coulter on Monday, NFL reporter Aaron Wilson reports.
Analysis: Coulter, a 2020 fifth-round pick, only logged on appearance as a rookie, and it appears that the Texans have already given up on his development. In his sole career appearance, Coulter played just six offensive snaps. A club elsewhere in the league may be willing to give the former University of Rhode Island standout an opportunity.
Active but DNP
Coulter did not play in Houston's season-ending loss to the Titans on Sunday.
Analysis: The Texans expended decent draft capital on Coulter, selecting him in the fifth round in the 2020 draft, but he barely touched the field, getting just six snaps and no targets in a Week 14 loss to the Bears. It wasn't a good sign that he was edged out for playing time by practice squad players when the Texans were desperate for bodies at wideout over the final weeks of the season. The Texans are interested in re-signing Will Fuller (suspension), who becomes unrestricted during the offseason, and have veterans Brandin Cooks, Randall Cobb and Keke Coutee on existing contracts, so there may not be a spot for Coulter in 2021. The one caveat being the organization will have a new general manager and head coach, who presumably will want to shape the roster as they see fit.
Healthy scratch against Bengals
Coulter (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Bengals.
Analysis: The fifth-round rookie from Rhode Island made his NFL debut Week 14 against the Bears, but he went without a target on a limited workload of six offensive snaps. Coulter was active last Sunday against the Colts, but he did not reach the field. Steven Mitchell and Chad Hansen will provide depth at wide receiver during Week 16, as Brandin Cooks and Keke Coutee head up the position in a matchup against Cincinnati's 20th-ranked pass defense.
Makes season debut
Coulter made his NFL debut, playing six snaps without a target in Sunday's 36-7 loss to the Bears.
Analysis: Coulter was added to the active roster with Brandin Cooks (foot) inactive Sunday. The 2020 fifth-round draft pick out of the University of Rhode Island has been on the 53-man roster since early November but was inactive the previous five weeks.
In lineup for Week 14
Coulter is active for Sunday's matchup against the Bears, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Analysis: No. 1 wideout Brandin Cooks (neck/foot) has been deemed inactive for Week 14, opening the door for Houston's depth receivers to become more involved. Coulter, Keke Coutee, Chad Hansen and Steven Mitchell are all liable to see an uptick in usage, with Will Fuller (suspension) and Randall Cobb (toe) also unavailable Week 14. The fifth-round rookie from Rhode Island hasn't yet made his NFL debut, with a neck injury keeping him sidelined for the first half of the season.
Inactive for Week 13
Coulter (coach's decision) won't suit up in Sunday's game against the Colts, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: With Will Fuller receiving a six-game suspension this week and Randall Cobb (toe) on injured reserve, Coulter was expected to step up. It's unclear why Coulter was deemed to be a healthy scratch for the contest, but he may be moving down the depth chart at the receiver position. Coulter will need to wait another week to make his NFL debut, but with the Rhode Island product sidelined, Steven Mitchell is expected to be the third option at receiver behind Brandin Cooks and Keke Coutee.
Should see more work
Coulter is expected to see more reps moving forward following news that Will Fuller has been suspended for the rest of the season, Aaron Reiss of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Last week, the Texans placed Randall Cobb (foot) on IR and cut Kenny Stills (quadriceps). The extended absence of Fuller should open to door for Coulter to finally get some tread in the Texans' offense, as he has vaulted to the No. 3 wide receiver spot on the depth chart behind Brandin Cooks and Keke Coutee. The rookie fifth-round pick was quite productive in his final season at Rhode Island, producing a 72-1,039-8 line over 12 games, but he hasn't had a chance to showcase his skills with the Texans. Coulter should make his NFL debut this Sunday against the Colts.
Inactive Thursday
Coulter is inactive for Thursday's game against the Lions, Aaron Reiss of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Despite Kenny Stills (quad) being out and Randall Cobb (toe) having landed on IR, Coulter will sit this one out. As a result, Steven Mitchell will provide the Texans with wide receiver depth Thursday behind Will Fuller, Brandin Cooks and Keke Coutee.
Nov 26, 2020 8:08 AM EST
Moves up depth chart
Coulter moves up the depth chart for Thursday's game against the Lions, as both Randall Cobb (toe) and Kenny Stills (quadriceps) have been ruled out.
Analysis: Coulter, a 2020 fifth-round pick out of Rhode Island, is the fourth receiver on the depth chart as the Texans prepare for the Thanksgiving Day in Detroit. He could see his first NFL action. Coulter opened the season on injured reserve and was activated ahead of Week 9, but he's been inactive for the three games since joining the active roster. Will Fuller, Brandin Cooks and Keke Coutee will top the wideout depth chart Thursday, leaving Coulter as the primary fill-in.
Won't suit up Sunday
Coulter (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game versus the Jaguars, Sarah Bishop of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Coulter came off IR before the Week 8 bye, but the rookie fifth-round pick's NFL debut will remain on hold. The Texans are rolling out six healthy wide receivers instead. Coulter will eye a Week 10 matchup against the Browns as his next chance to finally take the field.
Nov 8, 2020 8:57 AM EST
Comes off IR
Coulter (neck) was activated off IR on Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Analysis: Coulter will have an extra week to get up to speed, as Houston's on bye in Week 8 before a Week 9 trip to Jacksonville. The rookie fifth-round pick out of Rhode Island will likely make his NFL debut against the Jaguars, though he's likely to start primarily in a special teams role.
Oct 28, 2020 11:13 AM EST
Practice window officially opens
The Texans have designated Coulter (neck) for a return from IR, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Analysis: The Texans now have a 21-day window to evaluate Coulter in practice and decide whether to officially bump him to the active roster, or allow him to revert to IR for the rest of the season. The rookie fifth-round pick has been dealing with a neck strain since late August.

On Nov. 22, 2016, a federal district court judge in Texas placed an injunction, effective nationwide, on the Obama administration Department of Labor's overtime rule revision, preventing it from taking effect on Dec 1, 2016 (see the SHRM Online article Federal Judge Halts Overtime Rule). Many now believe it is unlikely that the revised rule, which would have more than doubled the $23,660 exempt-status salary threshold in place since 2004, will go forward, given that the Trump administration is not expected to pursue the Obama administration's appeal. For now, the current rule's salary threshold remains in place, and so this article has been revised to reflect the current rule. SHRM Online will continue to monitor and report developments.
Misunderstandings abound regarding the interaction of the salary test and the duties test, as well as the exemption for highly paid employees, under the Department of Labor's Fair Labor Standards Act overtime regulations..
Under the overtime regulations in place since 2004, the annual salary threshold for exempt positions is $23,660 (or $455 per week). In addition, a duties test is used to determine whether employees earning more than the salary threshold must be classified as nonexempt from overtime, including the tests for meeting the executive, administrative and professional exemptions.
In addition, highly compensated employees (HCEs) who receive total annual compensation of at least $100,000, are exempt from the FLSA's overtime requirements if they meet a separate HCE duties test that has a lower bar than the test required for employees paid the standard salary level.
Unless exempt, employees covered by the Fair Labor Standards Act must receive at least time and one-half their regular pay rate for all hours work over 40 in a workweek.
The following Q&As address some frequent misperceptions.
If an employee earns more than $23,660, is he or she automatically exempt?
No, although this is a common misconception about the overtime regulations. Meeting the salary threshold doesn't automatically make an employee exempt from overtime pay; employees must earn at least the standard salary threshold of $23,660 and fulfill one of the exemptions in the standard duties test.
Salary basis test. The employee must be paid a predetermined and fixed salary that is not subject to reduction because of variations in the quality or quantity of work performed.
Salary level test. The amount of salary paid must meet a minimum specified amount of $23,660, unless and until that figure is revised upward.
Duties test. The employee's job duties must primarily involve executive, administrative or professional duties as defined by the regulations.
"It is entirely possible that an employee could meet requirements of the salary basis and salary level tests and still fail to qualify as an exempt employee under the FLSA because the employee might not meet the requirements of the duties test," Tripathi said.
So, if they just meet the duties test, can they be classified as exempt?
No; once again, exempt employees must earn above the threshold of $23,660 and meet one of the exemptions in the standard duties test.
Generally, what duties satisfy each of the white-collar exemptions?
For the executive exemption, employees must have a primary duty of managing the enterprise or a department or subdivision of the enterprise; must customarily and regularly direct the work of at least two employees; and must have the authority to hire or fire, or their suggestions and recommendations as to the hiring, firing or changing the status of other employees must be given particular weight.
For the administrative exemption, employees must have a primary duty of performing office or nonmanual work directly related to the management or general business operations of the employer or the employer's customers, and their primary duty must include the exercise of discretion and independent judgment with respect to matters of significance.
For a professional exemption, employees must have a primary duty of work requiring knowledge of an advanced type in a field of science or learning customarily acquired by prolonged, specialized, intellectual instruction and study, or must specialize in a few other similarly, highly specialized fields, such as teaching, computer analytics and engineering.
As an example, "An employee who holds the position of assistant manager of a large chain store may be one of several assistant managers assigned to various portions of the store," Tripathi explained. "She might direct the day-to-day activities of several employees but may have no discretion as to whether to hire or fire any employees. The same employee may spend more than half of her time stocking shelves, filing orders and [doing] other routine tasks that require little or no discretion and independent judgment. Even if she were to meet the requirements of the salary basis and salary threshold tests, she would not qualify for the executive, administrative or professional exemptions because she would not meet the duties test required for any of the white-collar exemptions."
But I heard if you earn enough, you don't have to satisfy the duties test?
The employee's primary duty must be office or nonmanual work.
The employee must "customarily and regularly" perform at least one of the bona fide exempt duties of an executive, administrative or professional employee, as described in the regulations. An HCE who performs exempt duties on an isolated or occasional basis will not satisfy this minimal duties requirement.
"Nonmanagement production line workers and employees who perform work involving repetitive operations with their hands, physical skill and energy are not exempt under this section, no matter how highly paid," Tripathi said.
However, an example of an employee who could qualify for the relaxed HCE duties test might be a well-paid executive assistant to a high-ranking company official, she added.
"Even though such employees' primary duties might not always qualify for any of the white-collar exemptions standing alone, because they earn at least the amount required by the HCE exemption and they customarily engage in activities that include the exercise of discretion and independent judgment with respect to matters of significance, they could be exempt under the HCE exemption," Tripathi explained.
What if an employee earns between the standard salary threshold and the HCE salary threshold?
If employees earns more than the standard salary threshold ($23,660) but less than the HCE salary threshold ($100,000), and if they do not meet the criteria of the standard duties test, then even if they pass the relaxed duties test for HCEs, you would need to raise their compensation to the HCE threshold to retain their exempt status, Labor Department guidance clarified. Alternatively, you could reclassify the employee as nonexempt, which means that they would be entitled to receive overtime pay for all work hours beyond 40 in a workweek.

SOLUTION of my problem
I wanted to delete this topic, but I can not, so instead of doing that, I'll put here what I've done finally.
The code above is wrong becouse, it was taking a list of links from website and for each from them script was grabbing a data from a storage... Which was stupid of course. I didn't see a solution which was so easy:
Put all your file's code in this function - it grabs data from storage just once.
I'm so sorry for messing up this wonderfull forum with topic like this.
Hope u'll forgive.

A: help will return undefined because it is referencing a asynchronous function and not the return value of that function. The content from storage looks to be printed on content.js:8, i.e. line 8.

The Eighties. WTF.
The following appeared in the February edition of Chicago Parent.
I went over to my friend's house to check out the hot, new thing: cable television.
For the very low cost of $30 per month, people could watch TV with NO COMMERCIALS.
The audacity. The bravery. The brilliance. Sign me up!
Unfortunately, I was only making $1.50 an hour babysitting, and there was no chance my parents would ever pay for such a luxury. So I kept going over to my friend's basement. At first, we were all about the videos.
Van Halen. Cyndi Lauper. Michael Jackson.
I was definitely going to marry Eddie Van Halen.
Then we discovered the MOVIES.
Porky's. Animal House. Revenge of the Nerds.
In hindsight, our selections were far from appropriate for a pair of 11 year-old girls. But few parents back then were paying attention because of a historic reliance on network television to filter out such smut.
Today's world would suggest that such exposure would damage us for life. We'd marry misogynists. We'd probably do drugs. Arrest records were inevitable.
Instead, I would argue these experiences are responsible for a certain appreciation of the absurd.
It's why I love Seinfeld.
Recently, I spotted one of these films (edited) on television. My high school son wandered into the room and watched Revenge of the Nerds with me. He could not stop laughing at how completely non-PC the movie was.
"Oh my God, it was anything goes in the '80s, wasn't it?"
I started getting flustered, even the edited version was raunchier than I remembered.
"Uh…this stuff was wrong then…uh…drugs are bad….uh don't film people naked…."
"Relax, mom. It's a movie, not a morality lesson."
And there it was. As I kid, I understood the characters in these films were ridiculous and laughable.
I knew what they did was wrong.
While I don't condone most 11 year-olds watching these flicks, I did realize something important:
Parenting dictates how a lot of movies are received.
But we'll all be watching The Sound of the Music next week.
Just in case.

BIDA plans to inspect 10,000 more factories: Salman
After feverish week, global investors lick wounds and brace for more chaos
Reuters . New York/London
26 Sep 2022 00:00:00 | Update: 25 Sep 2022 22:32:47
Global investors are preparing for more market mayhem after a monumental week that whipsawed asset prices around the world, as central banks and governments ramped up their fight against inflation.
Signs of extraordinary times were everywhere. The Federal Reserve delivered its third straight seventy-five basis point rate hike while Japan intervened to shore up the yen for the first time since 1998. The British pound slid to a fresh 37-year trough against the dollar after the country's new finance minister unleashed historic tax cuts and huge increases in borrowing. "It's hard to know what will break where, and when," said Mike Kelly, head of multi-asset at PineBridge Investments (US). "Before, the thinking had been that a recession would be short and shallow. Now we're throwing that away and thinking about the unintended consequences of much tighter monetary policy."
Stocks plunged everywhere. The Dow Jones Industrial Average nearly joined the S&P 500 and Nasdaq in a bear market while bonds tumbled to their lowest level in years as investors recalibrated their portfolios to a world of persistent inflation and rising interest rates.
Towering above it all was the US dollar, which has rocketed to its highest level in 20 years against a basket of currencies, lifted in part by investors seeking shelter from the wild swings in markets.
"Currency exchange rates ... are now violent in their moves," said David Kotok, chairman and chief investment officer at Cumberland Advisors. "When governments and central banks are in the business of setting the interest rates they are shifting the volatility to the currency markets."


There are often parts of our lives that we dislike and events that take place that we wish did not happen. Anything that causes pain or discomfort — whether it be physical, emotional, or energetic — is something that we as humans generally try to avoid as much as we possibly can. And this is perfectly natural, logical, and reasonable – for who wants to invite pain and suffering into their world? And yet, pain is a natural part of living. We suffer in order to grow, and we learn from the many unpleasant happenings and interactions that take place in our lives.
As much as there is wisdom in preventing unnecessary injury, pain, or suffering, there is also wisdom in embracing it when it arrives — whether it be expectedly or unexpectedly. It is my belief that often we are drawn to particular situations and relationships for the wisdom they will provide us or the lesson that we still have yet to learn.
I had an instance of this occur rather recently; I was sitting on my couch at home, writing for work, when for no reason at all, I stopped what I was doing and looked around the room somewhat aimlessly. My attention landed on a plant situated on the windowsill in my living room. I noticed the top of the pointed leaves of the plant were brown and dry. In that moment, I decided to get up and take a closer look. In looking at the brown tips of the leaves, something instinctive had me reach out and slide my fingers from the bottom of one leaf to the top. (And by the way, this is not something that I had ever done before).
Halfway through sliding my fingers up this leaf, I felt a sudden sting on my ring finger and quickly pulled my hand away. I peeked at the leaf to see what unexpected thorn or prickles this particular plant had, and instead was introduced to a little wasp that was squirming around after its (likely unintentional) attack. As I registered what had happened, I began to feel a dramatic increase in burning and stinging in my finger.
I had not been stung by a wasp, bee, or hornet in many years and was surprised at the degree of pain I was feeling. In the past, I had felt upset or victimized by the attack, saw it as unfortunate, and just let the pain run its course. In this case, I had a sudden insight to look up natural remedies for bee/wasp stings, feeling an urge to diminish the pain and a desire to learn from what was happening.
"Wasp is the powerful female warrior and shamanic healer, prompting us to take a good look at our lives and ask if we are fighting the good fight. If you are stung by Wasp, it's her way of saying, 'Wake up! Do your spiritual work! To thine own self be true!' She confers great protection to those wise enough to give her space to do her thing, and does not stand for her sacred nest being disturbed.
These words were exactly what I needed at this time of massive life transformation and deep broken-heartedness. I would not have stumbled upon this wisdom and awareness had I not "randomly" decided to examine the plant in my apartment (which I believe was the medicine calling me towards it). These words of self-affirmation and love were deeply meaningful for me at this time, and stayed with me for the next two weeks when I was still able to feel this stinger buried in my finger.
Whenever I thought about the wasp sting, instead of thinking of it as an unfortunate instance of suffering, I was excited about the wisdom and knowledge that it brought to me and let the leftover stinger be a constant reminder of being true to myself.
I learned so much in such a short period of time, and all from the simple sting of a wasp.
I soaked my finger in apple cider vinegar for 15 minutes (though it also works to soak a cotton ball or cloth in the apple cider vinegar and use it as a compress on the area of the sting. I myself tend to be a "full immersion" type person in general). Apple cider vinegar as applied to the sting site helps to neutralize the acid of the wasp or bee sting and can also help to relieve inflammation and reduce itching. Treating a wasp or bee sting immediately after getting stung will help to avoid additional pain and inflammation as a result of the sting. This remedy worked amazingly well, and I felt the pain diminish almost immediately after I began soaking my finger.
After my 15-minute apple cider vinegar soak, my finger was rather wrinkly and relatively pain-free, but was still on the fast track of swelling up. So I used the next remedy that I had found to deal with inflammation: ice. I iced the site of the sting on my finger for about five to ten minutes and found this to be quite helpful in reducing the swelling.
While soaking and icing my finger, I read about honey and its antibiotic properties (amongst many other healing elements), as well as properties that reduce pain and swelling. The recommendation I found said to put honey on the site of the sting and to put a (loose) bandage around it for an hour or so, and that is just what I did (again, nothing like full immersion/soaking). By the time I took the bandage off an hour later, my finger felt so much better, and all of the swelling and pain were gone.
There are many more natural remedies for wasp and bee stings, as well as the healing properties of apitherapy, but these are the ones that I found and enjoyed the use of all three in a row.
Wow - I'm so glad I stumbled upon this. I was riding my bike the other night when a wasp/bee and I became entangled in my helmet strap and I received a subsequent sting upon my throat (left side). I immediately felt that burn and knew right away I had been stung however I wondered about the incident being a more metaphysical one as I too have been wandering down the path of enlightenment for a while. I thought it was interesting even how the series of events led me to the place where I was stung as it most definitely was not on my usual routine. I felt like I had been drawn to the area/event as you had been led to your plant. Your story really resonated with me and validates my current life situation. Thanks for sharing!

Interview Summary:
Ruth Webber was born in 1934 as Ruth Alexa Kiewer in Berlin as the only child of Eduard and Erna (née Lechner) Kiewer. Her parents worked in the maternal family's business and lived in a flat with the maternal grandmother. The family though not very religious kept the high holidays. Ruth does not have many memories of Berlin. When her father was arrested and brought to Sachsenhausen after Kristallnacht the family decided to emigrate. Her mother – presumably with her brother's help who was already in England and working as a doctor- obtained a domestic visa that included Ruth. She has vague memories of the trip and that they stayed in the beginning with the uncle where her father eventually joined them. He had left Germany via Denmark where they had family.
With the beginning of the Blitz Ruth was evacuated to Caerau, Wales where she stayed with a very friendly family. Her father was interned on the Isle of Man – while her mother remained in London working. When her father was released, he started working for the same family in Sonning. Ruth then changed families to be near her parents. In 1942/43 the family moved to Reading where her father had found work in the biscuit factory, Huntley and Palmer's, and her mother in a local haberdashery shop. Ruth had to look after herself when she came home from school and kept herself busy with reading. Sometimes she went down the road to play with children in a hostel who had come on the Kindertransport. Ruth's parents approached the Reading United synagogue and Ruth had Hebrew lessons, but they never felt accepted and actually looked down on.
Members of her maternal family left Germany for various destinations and survived, her father's family was less lucky and three sisters perished in the Holocaust. This haunted her father later and he suffered from episodes of depression. After he left the factory, he worked for the AJR. He only went back to Germany to pursue his compensation but her mother never went back. Ruth finished grammar school and before she went to university taught English in Switzerland at the Ècole d'Humanité -which had been the Odenwaldschule in Germany before the war. Then she studied English literature in Oxford. Here she met her future husband, Will, and they got married despite both sets of parents' reservations. Ruth went into teaching which she enjoyed throughout her professional life and only interrupted to raise her children. She identifies as "Jewish Continental with English in lots of tastes."

I remember I had Erika, my doll. I remember we went on a boat. We must have had a cabin, because I remember a table, and you lifted the table up and it was a wash stand. I thought that was absolute magic. When I say I remember, I now remember remembering it but I haven't been told. These are not things I've been told. This I remember. I remember we arrived in a London station. I don't know which station it was. My uncle Alfons met us. And that's all I remember of the journey.
Caerau. It's a little mining village in Glamorgan. Very small, very friendly. We were all put in a local hall. They gave us orange juice and then people chose. "I'll have that child", "I'll have that child". And the family that took me, tell me- I was the last one chosen, because they thought I was mentally deficient. Because I didn't speak English. And I was really lucky. I mean, really lovely family.
We were advised- everyone was advised not to speak German in public in the war. And so I was ashamed of having German-speaking parents. I'm sure this is a very common story that you've heard from lots of people. And I forgot my German because I wasn't living with my parents, I heard English all day at school and at home. My parents, obeying the rules, spoke to me in English - very accented English, but still English. And then, and for many years, I just wanted to be normal. I wanted to be English. I didn't want to have anything to do with being somebody who was different, despised - what have you. I'm a bit ashamed of that, but that's how it was.
Yes, always [had her German doll, Erika]. I also had an English doll, which I called Margaret Rose. Shows how English I'd become. I didn't like her as much though. Erika was the one. [Did they get on?] We had dolls' tea parties. I know that!
We were going to get married in Hendon Synagogue - United. And they said to me, "Well, where is your proof that you're Jewish?" I didn't have all the right documents. I went home in tears to my father in Reading. And he said, "I'll deal with them." And he trotted in in fury the next Sunday; they were open on Sundays. And he showed them all these details about Germany and what have you, and his passport with "Jude" written all over it. And- and that thing- his release from Sachsenhausen- you know – the lot. They gave in to him at once.

Concerning bathymetric multibeam echosondeur systems, the interferometric technique is widely used to get the altitude of an illuminated seafloor section beam. Classical methods only use the zero crossing instant of phase difference to obtain the sea depth. Nevertheless, the phase difference gives more information near the zero crossing. Using the idea of radar multilook, the seabed footprints of two close beams overlap and, consequently, it exists a common illuminated area. In this paper, we show that the mutual information between the two close beams is enough to merge them into one because of the coherently processing of the signals received from multiple sensors (that is, beamforming). This mutual information, set up by several beamforming methods, makes possible to take into account all points included in the beam footprint in order to rebuild more accurately the sea floor. Besides, considering a beamforming width between ±25° and ±60°, we can recreate a continuous phase difference by merging all phase differences. Beam angles close to nadir will not be considered because of their non acceptable performance in terms of interferometric quality. In addition, the effect of changing the interferometric spacing, commonly called baseline, is also studied. A correct baseline value plays an important role in high-resolution beamforming. Actually, the influence of the multibaseline causes an increase of the phase difference variance, and therefore, an increase of the measurement errors. Finally, we propose the fusion of the multilook techniques and the baseline effects to improve the multibeam echosondeur bottom detection.

Woman alleges cop rape in lawsuit
Atlanta officer suspended from force for behavior at Virginia-Highland bars
By BETH WARREN
Published on: 05/09/07
When a Virginia-Highland woman complained to Atlanta police that one of their men in blue was harassing her, the officer retaliated by raping her and videotaping the crime, prosecutors allege in an indictment.
Lamar Gavin, 26, the son of prominent doctors, has since been suspended from the police force, but for unrelated reasons — outrageous off-duty behavior that got him banned from three Virginia-Highland bars, according to his personnel files obtained through the Georgia Open Records Act.
Gavin was slated to be fired effective Nov. 3 but was ordered reinstated by the city's civil service board, which decided that a 30-day suspension and counseling could correct Gavin's "inappropriate conduct."
Now Gavin, who insists he is innocent, has turned his attention to attacking the rape charges and rejoining the city's police force.
Gavin's attorney, Antonio Thomas, said he and his client are expected to meet with Police Chief Richard Pennington on Friday to discuss Gavin's return to the force if he is aquitted of the rape charge.
Gavin is scheduled to appear before a judge Thursday for a brief hearing, with his trial slated for July.
Meanwhile, the woman who says she was raped has gone into hiding and says she's scared he'll hunt her down to keep her from testifying.
An Atlanta police officer who knew Gavin had been banned from Virginia-Highland bars shared her concerns, telling his superiors:
"I'm just concerned about what Gavin may do in the future to myself, [another officer] or any of the citizens that made statements against him," according to police records.
Fulton County Superior Court Judge Stephanie Manis cited worries about possible witness intimidation in her order last month when she denied bond for Gavin, who has remained in jail since his April 10 arrest on a four-count grand jury indictment. He is charged with rape, two counts of burglary, and unlawful eavesdropping/surveillance for the videotape.
Gavin's other attorney, Phinia Aten, filed a motion this week asking the judge to reconsider bond.
Gavin's MySpace screen name is "the ATL bad boy." He last signed on the popular social networking Web site the day before he was taken to jail.
On his MySpace page, which features a photo of him in his police uniform, he wrote: "I try to keep my personal life drama free, but it seems like crazy people find a way into my life. Remember this folks: You can accomplish anything as long as you stay out of jail."
A day later, Fulton County sheriff's deputies arrested Gavin and took him to jail.
The alleged rape victim said she complained to Atlanta police twice last year, in February and April, that Gavin, who lived in her apartment complex and claimed to help with security, was pressuring her to date him.
On one occasion, she said she jerked awake in the middle of the night after hearing a strange noise. She said Gavin was standing outside her apartment and told her he had just scared off a would-be burglar.
The woman contends that internal affairs investigators with the force's Office of Professional Standards told her there wasn't much they could do because it was her word against the officer's.
That summer, the woman says she returned home after a night of drinking and clubbing and passed out on her couch. She said she didn't realize she had been raped until police investigators saw the tape and called her months later.
Gavin's attorneys say the woman had consensual sex with Gavin and trumped up her complaints against him because she has "problems."
The woman admits she had a drinking problem.
On the videotape, Gavin turns to the camera and rattles off the names of the internal affairs investigators and the alleged rape victim while cursing them all, said Fulton prosecutor Linda Dunikoski, who has watched the tape.
"It was real foul," she said.
Gavin then carried the limp woman from her couch to her bed and taped the alleged rape on July, 23, 2006, Dunikoski said.
Thomas, one of Gavin's attorneys, said he didn't know about Gavin's other alleged misconduct.
Gavin, who liked bar-hopping at the same Virginia-Highland taverns where the woman partied, sometimes got rowdy after drinking too much, according to police records of the internal affairs investigation.
Three managers had banned him from their bars — at Atkins Park tavern, Neighbors pub and Dark Horse Tavern, records indicate.
In one incident, Atkins Park employees dialed 911 because a waitress said she was afraid of the off-duty cop, records indicate.
In another incident, Gavin handed his handgun to a civilian, who promptly waved it at two bar patrons at Dark Horse Tavern.
But what led to his firing happened, according to records, occurred at Neighbors pub, where a plain-clothes and intoxicated Gavin pulled out his gun and said: "This is a stick up!"
The former officer's parents, Dr. James R. Gavin III and Dr. Annie Gavin, have declined to discuss the rape allegations except to say, through their attorney, that they feel sure their son will be acquitted and, at that time, they'll discuss the case.

Why do you think licensing officers would have stopped this criminal?

Why would you tape yourself raping someone?
This is what I like to call DEA professionalism. Only Mr. Gavin was professional enough to carry in a bar.

He obviously thought he was above the law. Seems to be a common problem among a significant minority of officers (although with the red light camera example, it may be more than I at first thought). Removing special privileges in the law would go a long way toward extinguishing that mentality.
They should be subject to the same laws to which I am subject.

A police officer who waves his firearm around like a madman while guzzling booze with the other hand at a heavily attended public gathering is breaking no laws, under the current structure (although you might be able to show some sort of disorderly conduct charge, depending on the circumstances). I observe that this offers rather perverse incentives.
The law? Don't tell me about the law. I am the law!*
*Direct quote from my exchange with a law breaking police officer down in Fayetteville several years ago.
I do not know about this Neighbrs place, but I once carried at the Dark Horse Tavern. I bet he would have thought it was really funny to pull out his weapon and yell "This is a stickup!" on a night when I was there, ready to perform a Mozambique. Ha, ha. Hee, hee.

The victim was identified as 23-year-old September Paz who sustained 19 stab wounds all over her body, ABS-CBN reported.
Initial reports stated that a group of men caught on CCTV near the area the night before might have been involved in the crime.
Paz's roommate for her part said she left their room at around 8 p.m. that night for her nightshift work.
But the suspect who was identified as 22-year-old Jeffrey Guarin already surrendered to authorities as of Tuesday, the Inquirer reported.
Guarin, a neighbor of the victim, admitted to the crime and claimed that he only intended to steal from the victim so he could buy more alcoholic drinks.
He said he was able to break into the victim's room by dismantling the jalousie window but Paz woke up while he was looking for money to steal which resulted in the crime.
The suspect, who is also among the drug suspects in their barangay, is currently detained while authorities prepare to file robbery and homicide charges against him.
