\section{Introduction}
The study of thermodynamic phenomena at the quantum scale is nowadays becoming more and more challenging \cite{Horodecki2013,Scully2003,Mari2012,Skrzypczyk2014,Dorner2012,Leggio2013,Leggio2013b,Leggio2015b,Hovhannisyan2013,Eisert2015,Bellomo2012,Bellomo2012b}. This is certainly due to the rapid development of technologies capable of producing and addressing single quantum systems, which opened in these last years an unforeseeable range of possibilities to test and exploit quantum features at different scales \cite{Toyabe2010,Valenzuela2006,Todorov2010,Chen2012,Batalhao2014,Liu2014,Gessner2014}. One of the most investigated quantum thermodynamic systems is what goes under the name of absorption quantum thermal machine \cite{Linden2010,Levy2012,Leggio2015a,Venturelli2013,Correa2014}, under its many different forms. Studies of non-equilibrium or many-body quantum heat engines have been presented in \cite{Abah2014,Campisi2015}. Nevertheless, in the field of quantum absorption thermal machines a full account of the role of many-body interactions is still missing. Indeed, the theoretical description of their functioning has been mostly limited to models consisting of very few quantum systems, usually few two-level systems (2LSs or qubits) or three-level systems (3LSs), extracting heat from independent macroscopic reservoirs in order to perform thermodynamic tasks. Two regimes have received particular attention: the one under which a 3LS or few 2LSs can produce a steady heat flux between two macroscopic reservoirs \cite{Linden2010, Levy2012,Venturelli2013,Correa2014}, and the situation in which a quantum 3LS can tune the temperature of a single qubit \cite{Linden2010,Leggio2015a,Skrzypczyk2011,Brunner2014}, achieving either its refrigeration or its heating. Both these setups, although supplying important insight into quantum thermodynamics, cannot give a full account of the underlying atomic-scale thermodynamics, since the former does not allow any quantum correlations between the machine and its target, while the latter cannot account for collective phenomena in the target body. Thus the fundamental regime in which quantum effects are combined with many-body correlations in the underlying thermodynamic structure of machine-target interaction has not yet been explored.

Up to this level of description, the delivery of a thermodynamic task to a collection of $n_{\mathrm{q}}$ qubits would require the use of $n_{\mathrm{q}}$ machines. An even worse scenario is met when different local tasks must be delivered to a many-qubit system, the goal being to bring each qubit to a different temperature. In this case, in addition to $n_{\mathrm{q}}$ machines, also $n_{\mathrm{q}}$ sets of macroscopic reservoirs must be supplied, as their temperatures fix the steady task a machine can deliver.

A standard problem of this kind usually met in experiments is the necessity to keep interacting qubits at different temperatures in order for them to mediate and sustain steady energy flux from a colder to an hotter object, as theoretically proposed in \cite{Linden2010,Skrzypczyk2011,Venturelli2013}. However, practical realizations of this idea have been facing the nontrivial problem of keeping each qubit in thermal equilibrium with its corresponding object without allowing qubit-qubit thermalization \cite{Chen2012}. The need arises then for a simple and realistic scheme to induce a steady temperature distribution among many interacting 2LSs.

In this Letter we address this need, proving at the same time that $n_{\mathrm{q}}$ different temperatures on $n_{\mathrm{q}}$ qubits can be imposed and maintained through a \textit{single} 3LS system and a \textit{single} realistic out-of-thermal-equilibrium (OTE) electromagnetic environment.
As we will show, this \textit{multitasking quantum thermal machine} needs only two thermal baths and it can realize a broad variety of tasks. The temperatures induced by it on a set of qubits are easily tunable just by changing geometric parameters of the many-body target, even without modifying the temperature of the bath.

\section{Physical system}\label{physyst}
Our multitasking machine is shown in Fig. \ref{Figure1}.
\begin{figure}[t!]
\begin{center}
\includegraphics[width=245pt]{Figure_1}
\end{center}
\caption{The physical setup consists of an OTE electromagnetic field produced by a sapphire slab of thickness $\delta$, at temperature $T_S$, embedded in a thermal blackbody radiation at temperature $T_W\neq T_S$. Such a field plays the role of Markovian environment for a system of quantum emitters (atoms), all placed at the same distance $z$ from the slab surface: the qubit system is the target body, on which the three-level machine M (at distance $r$ from all the qubits) delivers thermodynamic tasks.}
\label{Figure1}
\end{figure}
A sapphire slab of finite thickness $\delta=0.05\,\mu$m (whose optical data are taken from \cite{OpticalConstants}) is kept at a fixed temperature $T_S=900\,$K by means of a standard reservoir, and embedded in the blackbody radiation held at room temperature $T_W=300\,$K by the second thermal bath. The resulting electromagnetic field in the empty space thus neither is a blackbody radiation nor has a well defined temperature. Moreover, its spectral features are affected by the dielectric response function of the slab. At a distance $z$ from the slab a collection of quantum emitters (the target body TB and the 3LS machine M, hereby collectively referred to as atoms) is placed. In particular, the target body consists of a collection of $n_{\mathrm{q}}$ 2LSs, with all the qubits lying on a circle of radius $r$ and having the same transition frequency $\omega_a$. Finally, a 3LS is placed at the center of the circle. Its three transitions, all allowed, have different frequencies and one of the two low-frequency ones is in resonance with the qubits, while the high frequency transition is resonant with the first electronic resonance of sapphire at $\omega_S=0.81\times10^{14}\,$rad/s. We choose here $\omega_a=0.1\omega_S$. These parameters are known to produce the optimal working condition for the 3LS machine to act on a single qubit \cite{Leggio2015a}. The total Hamiltonian of the system is $H_{\mathrm{T}}=H_e+H_f+H_{ef}$, where $H_e$ is the free Hamiltonian of the quantum emitters, $H_f$ is the one of the electromagnetic field and $H_{ef}=-\sum_{n=1}^{n_{\mathrm{q}}}\mathbf{d}_n \cdot \mathbf{E}(\mathbf{R}_n)-\sum_{t=1}^3\mathbf{d}_{\mathrm{3LS}}^{(t)} \cdot \mathbf{E}(\mathbf{R}_{\mathrm{3LS}})$, describing the coupling between each emitter transition and the field $\mathbf{E}$ under the dipole approximation. Here $\mathbf{d}_n$, $n=1,\ldots,n_{\mathrm{q}}$ is the field-induced dipole of the $n$-th qubit at position $\mathbf{R}_n$, while $\mathbf{d}_{\mathrm{3LS}}^{(t)}$ is the field-induced dipole of the $t$-th transition of the 3LS at position $\mathbf{R}_{\mathrm{3LS}}$. All these dipoles are here assumed to have the same magnitude.

In the limit of weak emitters-field coupling \cite{BreuerBook}, the dynamics of the state $\rho$ of the sole atomic part of the system can be described by means of the Markovian master equation \cite{Bellomo2012,Bellomo2013,Bellomo2013b}
\begin{equation}\label{METQ}
\dot{\rho}=-\frac{i}{\hbar}\big[H_{\mathrm{at}},\rho\big]+D_{\mathrm{TB}}(\rho)+D_{\mathrm{M}}(\rho)+D_{\mathrm{nl}}(\rho),
\end{equation}
having introduced the effective atomic Hamiltonian $H_{\mathrm{at}}=H_e+H_{\mathrm{int}}$, consisting of the free part and of the dipole-dipole coupling between each pair of resonant atomic transitions, corresponding to exchange of virtual photons between two atoms.

For two resonant transitions $i$ and $j$, the coupling term has the form $h_{ij}=\Lambda_{ij}(\sigma^{\dag}_i\sigma_j+\sigma^{\dag}_j\sigma_i)$ and $H_{\mathrm{int}}=\sum_{i<j}h_{ij}$. Here $\sigma_i$ $(\sigma_i^{\dag})$ is the lowering (raising) operator of transition $i$ and $\Lambda_{ij}$ is a dipole-dipole coupling term whose expression in terms of the system parameters can be found in \cite{Bellomo2013}.

The dissipative part of the dynamics, accounted for by the term $D_{\mathrm{TB}}(\rho)+D_{\mathrm{M}}(\rho)+D_{\mathrm{nl}}(\rho)$, is described by superoperators of the general form
\begin{equation}
L(a,b)=a\rho b^{\dag}-\frac{1}{2}\big\{b^{\dag}a,\rho\big\}.
\end{equation}
The two dissipative terms $D_{\mathrm{TB}}(\rho)$ and $D_{\mathrm{M}}(\rho)$ characterize in particular local coupling of each transition in the target body and in the machine with the electromagnetic environment. They have the form of standard thermal-like dissipation, which for the $i$-th transition reads $D_i^{\mathrm{loc}}=\gamma_i^+D_i^{\mathrm{em}}(\rho)+\gamma_i^-D_i^{\mathrm{ab}}(\rho)$, where $D_i^{\mathrm{em}}(\rho)=L(\sigma_i,\sigma_i)$ and $D_i^{\mathrm{ab}}(\rho)=L(\sigma_i^{\dag},\sigma_i^{\dag})$ describe respectively emission and absorption of a photon through the transition $i$. Therefore $D_{\mathrm{TB}}(\rho)+D_{\mathrm{M}}(\rho)=\sum_iD_i^{\mathrm{loc}}$.

Finally, the dissipative term $D_{\mathrm{nl}}(\rho)$ couples resonant transitions, and is the real counterpart of the virtual process given by $H_{\mathrm{int}}$: it describes processes in which pairs of resonant transitions $i$ and $j$ collectively emit or absorb real photons into/from the field. For a fixed pair, this process is given by $D_{ij}^{\mathrm{nl}}=\gamma_{ij}^+D_{ij}^{\mathrm{em}}(\rho)+\gamma_{ij}^-D_{ij}^{\mathrm{ab}}(\rho)$, where $D_{ij}^{\mathrm{em}}(\rho)=L(\sigma_i,\sigma_j)$ and $D_{ij}^{\mathrm{ab}}(\rho)=L(\sigma_i^{\dag},\sigma_j^{\dag})$ have the same structure of $D_i^{\mathrm{em}}(\rho)$ and $D_i^{\mathrm{ab}}(\rho)$, but describe collective two-atom emission and absorption processes.

All these effects are a manifestation of emitters-field interaction, and their rates $\gamma_i^{\pm}, \gamma_{ij}^{\pm}$ and $\Lambda_{ij}$ are given in terms of the OTE field correlation functions, which at stationarity can be exactly calculated \cite{Messina2011,Messina2011b,Messina2014}. They depend on the transition frequency, the interatomic separations, the atoms-slab distance, the dipole orientations and the slab dielectric properties, geometry and temperature. The detailed expressions for all these parameters are derived and discussed in \cite{Bellomo2013}.

Two transitions at different frequencies, all the other parameters being the same, have thus different photon emission/absorption rates. In other words, they feel their respective local environments at different temperatures, the associated Boltzmann factor at the transition frequency being $\gamma_i^-/\gamma_i^+$. As a consequence, the 3LS perceives three different field temperatures on its three transitions, such that its populations do not follow a simple thermal distribution \cite{Bellomo2012,Leggio2015a}. Referring to the three levels of M as $|0\rangle, |1\rangle$ and $|2\rangle$, if the transition $|0\rangle \leftrightarrow|1\rangle$ is in contact with a colder effective environment than the transition $|0\rangle \leftrightarrow|2\rangle$, the dynamics thus induced tends to increase the ratio $p_2/p_0$ and to reduce $p_1/p_0$. As such, this process has the net effect of increasing the ratio $p_2/p_1$ which is equivalent to increasing the temperature $\theta_\text{M}$ of the transition $|1\rangle \leftrightarrow|2\rangle$ (defined through its Boltzmann factor $p_2/p_1=\exp{\big[-\hbar \omega_{12}/(k_B \theta_\text{M})\big]}$).

The OTE field is thus an optimal tool to manipulate the temperatures of atomic transitions in a 3LS. If, in turn, the 3LS is coupled to a qubit through the resonant dipole-dipole interaction $\Lambda$ on its transition $|1\rangle \leftrightarrow|2\rangle$, such a 2LS will thermalize to a temperature $\theta_{\mathrm{2LS}}$ intermediate between $\theta_\text{M}$ and the one of its effective environment (hereby referred to as $T_{\mathrm{env}}$) \cite{Leggio2015a}. Since $T_{\mathrm{env}}$ is the natural temperature at which the qubit would thermalize in the absence of M, any difference between $\theta_{\mathrm{2LS}}$ and $T_{\mathrm{env}}$ signals the achievement of a thermal task by the 3LS on the 2LS. In particular, when $\Lambda\gg \gamma_{\mathrm{2LS}}^+$ (which is the case for a broad range of machine-qubit distances \cite{Bellomo2013}), the qubit temperature $\theta_{\mathrm{2LS}}$ will be steadily driven very close to the one of M. Through this mechanism, it has been shown in \cite{Leggio2015a} that a qubit can be refrigerated, heated up and even brought to population inversion by the same field-machine configuration, just by changing the atoms-slab distance $z$.

The purpose of this Letter is to exploit this mechanism to induce a steady distribution of temperatures $\theta_n$ on $n_{\mathrm{q}}$ qubits, with in general $\theta_n\neq \theta_m$ for $n\neq m$ in $1,\ldots,n_{\mathrm{q}}$.

\section{Machine-induced thermodynamics}\label{thermodyn}
In tackling this question, we analyze a model system where the target body is composed of $n_{\mathrm{q}}=4$ qubits. Initially each 2LS is placed on one vertex of a square inscribed in the circle on which the qubits lie, which defines the $xy$ plane as shown in Fig. \ref{Figure2}. Their dipoles, all of the same magnitude, point toward the center of the circle where the machine M is placed. The dipole of M points toward one 2LS, labeled as qubit 1. This corresponds to the configuration shown in Fig. \ref{Figure2} with $\varphi=0$. All the results shown here are obtained with the open-source package QuTiP \cite{qutip}.

\begin{figure}[t!]
\begin{center}
\includegraphics[width=150pt]{Figure_2}
\end{center}
\caption{Model system. Four 2LSs are placed along a circle around the 3LS M, with their dipoles pointing always toward M. The grey configuration for qubit 1 corresponds to the regular disposition of qubits, and it defines the value $\varphi=0$. Such a configuration also defines the reference frame of the system, with the $x$ and $y$ axes oriented as in the figure.}
\label{Figure2}
\end{figure}

The pair $\{\text{M}, 1\}$ is thus in a configuration analogous to the one studied in \cite{Leggio2015a}. Fig. \ref{Figure3} gives the steady temperatures $\theta_k$, $k=1,\ldots,4$ of each qubits versus $z$ for $r=75\,\mu$m, compared with the steady temperature $\tau_1$ reached by the 2LS in the 1-qubit case with the same qubit-machine distance. For graphical purposes, Fig. \ref{Figure3} shows the behaviour of $-1/\theta_k$, $-1/\tau_1$ and $-1/T_{\mathrm{env}}$, with the correspondent values of temperature given on the right vertical scale. The temperature of each qubit induced by their interaction with M follows the same qualitative $z$-behaviour and the same tasks as the one achieved for the single qubit case. Thus, despite a quantitative change between the 1- and the 4-qubit configurations ($\sim 70\%$ for the peak in population inversion, $\sim 0.6\%$ for the peak in refrigeration), this thermodynamic setup can deliver tasks also on many-qubit systems. However, as one sees from Fig. \ref{Figure3}, all the qubits temperatures are almost the same, thus no significative steady distribution can be achieved in this configuration. For instance, note that in this regular disposition of qubits, $\theta_1=\theta_3$ and $\theta_2=\theta_4$, all of them being anyway much closer to each other than to $T_{\mathrm{env}}$.

\begin{figure}[t!]
\begin{center}
\includegraphics[width=245pt]{Figure_3}
\end{center}
\caption{Steady qubits temperatures, represented as $-1/\theta_k$ for $k=1,3$ (long-dashed red line), for $k=2,4$ (short-dashed blue line), $-1/\tau_1$ for the 1-qubit case (solid black line), compared with the qubits environmental temperature $T_{\mathrm{env}}$ (dot-dashed green line), versus the atoms-slab distance $z$. The qubits are in a regular disposition, being placed on the vertices of a square, with their dipoles pointing toward the circumcenter of the square. In both the 1-qubit and the 4-qubit cases, the 2LS-machine distance is $r=75\,\mu$m.}
\label{Figure3}
\end{figure}

Before proceeding further, note that the regular 2LSs disposition just considered is quite a particular one, being characterized by the fact that the dipoles of qubits 2 and 4 are orthogonal to the one of M, all of them being parallel to the slab surface. In this condition, neither the dipole-dipole coupling $\Lambda$ nor the collective dissipation $\gamma_{ij}$ couples M to 2 and 4 \cite{Bellomo2013}. This means that qubits 2 and 4 do not perceive at all the presence of M. Their temperature change with respect to $T_{\mathrm{env}}$ is thus due to their interaction with the rest of the qubits system, which on the one hand undergoes the effect of M and, on the other, relays this effect on the pair $\{2,4\}$. This is an example of very effective interplay among dissipative effects, atom-atom pairing (the interaction between M and each atom of the pair $\{1,3\}$) and many-body interactions within the target body. As a consequence, we argue that by tuning one of these two features one can exert a control on the way the machine task is distributed among the 2LSs. In particular, we will consider two control parameters in what follows: the geometrical position of atom 1 along the circle circumscribing the square and the direction of the dipole of atom 4. Both of these parameters will affect one or both of the two fundamental interactions on which the task distribution is based. In particular, moving one qubit along the circle will change its coupling strength with both the other 2LSs and M, introducing a bias in the many-body interactions within the target body and in the machine-body coupling. The orientation of the dipole of an appropriately chosen 2LS, on the other hand, will only affect its interaction with the rest of the qubits.

\section{External control of the steady temperature distribution}
Consider thus the atomic system to be placed at a distance $z\simeq 2.7\,\mu$m from the slab, where the peak of population inversion is achieved for a single qubit. We now begin to change the position of qubit 1, by rotating it of an angle $\varphi$ around the point where the machine is placed, as shown in Fig. \ref{Figure2}. Whereas its dipole always points toward M, its interaction with the rest of the qubits will significantly change, growing much stronger as qubit 1 approaches one of the other 2LSs. For each angle $\varphi$, we imagine to wait long enough for the system to reach a steady state, referred to as $\rho(\varphi)$ and depending on the angular position $\varphi\in [0,2\pi]$ of qubit 1. All the thermodynamic quantities evaluated on this state will then be functions of $\varphi$. $\varphi$ is defined such that $\varphi=(k-1)\pi/2$ corresponds to the regular position of qubit $k=1,2,3,4$ on the square. Of course, the three positions $\varphi=\pi/2,\pi,3\pi/2$, where qubit 1 would sit on top of another 2LS, are idealized situations, and correspond to infinite interaction strength $\Lambda$. These values of $\varphi$ must then be read as limiting cases for two qubits being much closer to each other than to any other constituent of the atomic system.

\begin{figure}[t!]
\begin{center}
\includegraphics[width=245pt]{Figure_4b}
\end{center}
\caption{Steady qubits temperatures represented as $-1/\theta_k$ for $k=1$ (solid blue line), 2 (long-dashed red line), 3 (short-dashed blue line) and 4 (dot-dashed green line), versus the angular displacement $\varphi$ of qubit 1. The other geometrical parameters are $z\simeq 2.7\,\mu$m and $r=75\,\mu$m. The plateau regions correspond to the approach of one of the values $\varphi=(k-1)\pi/2$ for $k=2,3,4$ (the atomic positions are represented by colored circles) and describe the situation of very strong coupling between two qubits. The upper horizontal scale reports the values of the linear distance $r \varphi$ travelled by qubit 1 along the circle.}
\label{Figure4}
\end{figure}

Fig. \ref{Figure4} reports the steady temperatures of each 2LS as a function of $\varphi$. As one can see, the temperature of qubit 1 gets strongly modulated by $\varphi$, repeatedly crossing the population inversion line. Moreover, depending on its angular displacement, qubit 1 interacts very strongly with one of the other 2LSs, such that the pair is effectively decoupled from the rest of the atomic system. In these cases, the temperatures of qubit 1 and of its paired 2LS fall down to the value of $T_{\mathrm{env}}$ (the lower plateau around 350 K). This is due to the fact that very strong correlations between qubit 1 and its paired 2LS are built due to the vicinity of the 2 atoms, a situation in which monogamy forbids the pair to create any kind of correlations with anything external. As such, the paired atoms are completely decoupled from the machine and, as a consequence, equilibrate with their local environment. The width of these plateaus corresponds to the regime in which the dipole-dipole interaction amplitude $\Lambda_{1j}$ between the paired atoms is much larger than any other coupling strength of the system. Note indeed that, in a broad range of $\varphi$ before and after such plateaus, the temperatures of the two paired qubits are almost overimposed. The central plateau at $\varphi=\pi$ is special, as it corresponds to a complete decoupling of the target body from the machine. This is due to the dipole orientation chosen here: 1 and 3 are strongly paired and as such decoupled from M, while the two 2LSs left do not directly interact with M whatsoever due to their dipoles being orthogonal to $\mathbf{d}_{\mathrm{M}}$. As such, the machine is unable to deliver any task on TB, which thermalizes as a whole with the environment at $T_{\mathrm{env}}$.

The regions around plateaus provide thus a mechanism to significantly divide the 2LSs temperatures into two groups, one at positive and one at negative values in the example analyzed here (and, more in general, one close to $\theta_\text{M}$ and one close to $T_{\mathrm{env}}$). But probably the most interesting region for the purpose of creating a steady temperature distribution in TB is the one in between two consecutive plateaus. For $\pi/2<\varphi<\pi$, for instance, the four qubits temperatures are all different, the same happening for $\pi<\varphi<3\pi/2$. Given the radius of the circle on which qubit 1 moves, the linear difference between the two positions at $\varphi=\pi/2$ and $\varphi=\pi$ is approximately of $106\,\mu$m (or $117\,\mu$m along the circle), which is a realistic and achievable scale of distances between two quantum emitters in real experiments \cite{Whitlock2009}. Within this scale, a broad distribution of steady qubit temperatures can be realized: consider the exemplary case of $\varphi=2.5\,$rad: the four qubits temperatures are $\theta_1=-1190\,$K, $\theta_2=6700\,$K, $\theta_3=-1820\,$K and $\theta_4=1280\,$K.

We stress here that any dissipative dynamics inducing different states on single constituents of a many-qubit system creates a distribution of local temperatures, since a 2LS is always in a Gibbs state. The novelty here is the achievement of a detailed control over such a distribution only by means of geometrical parameters. In particular, by appropriately modulating $z$, $\varphi$ and possibly $r$ one can exert such control over local thermal state of each constituent of the multipartite target body. Such an effect is also very robust against interaction with thermal reservoirs in the weak-coupling limit, as already signaled by the difference between $\theta_k$ of each qubits and $T_{\mathrm{env}}$ of their electromagnetic bath. One can thus engineer proper values of local qubit temperatures in order to assure the proper functioning of them as, for instance, thermal machine for macroscopic bodies \cite{Linden2010}. Note that the physics just described remains the same when analyzed at different values of $z$, the only difference being in the range of values for the various $\theta$. Such a range is indeed fixed to be a subinterval of $[T_{\mathrm{env}},\theta_\text{M}]$ (or of $[\theta_\text{M},T_{\mathrm{env}}]$ in the case of refrigeration).

The second parameter whose tuning we want to explore is the direction of one of the qubits dipoles, as shown in the inset of Fig. \ref{Figure5}. We choose here in particular the 2LS we refer to as qubit 4 in Fig. \ref{Figure2}. Its feature is to have its dipole orthogonal to the one of M, and as such not to interact directly with it. As a consequence, a rotation of its dipole in the plane $yz$, as represented in the inset of Fig. \ref{Figure5}, keeps the 2LS always decoupled from the machine and only affects its interaction with the rest of the qubits. Fig. \ref{Figure5} shows the dependence of the qubits temperatures on the angle $\alpha$ between the direction of the dipole of qubit 4 and the $z$ axis. As such, $\alpha=0$ means a dipole orthogonal to the atomic plane and thus to the slab surface, while $\alpha=\pi/2$ corresponds to the dipole pointing toward the machine.

\begin{figure}[t!]
\begin{center}
\includegraphics[width=245pt]{Figure_5}
\end{center}
\caption{Steady qubits temperatures represented as $-1/\theta_k$ for $k=1,3$ (dot-dashed green line), 2 (long-dashed red line) and 4 (solid black line), versus the orientation $\alpha$ of the dipole of qubit 4. The other geometrical parameters are $z\simeq 2.7\,\mu$m and $r=75\,\mu$m.}
\label{Figure5}
\end{figure}

The possibility of controlling the value of $\theta_4$ is evident here, the temperature ranging continuously from $386\,$K for $\alpha=0$ to $-2022\,$K for $\alpha=\pi/2$. The values of the other three qubits temperatures are only slightly affected by $\alpha$ and are relatively close to each other. As such, the rotation of one dipole is an efficient mechanism to decouple the temperature of one qubit from the rest of the system, and to assign it a steady value at will. The underlying mechanism must of course be looked for in the structure of dipole-dipole coupling: for $\alpha=0$, qubit 4 is decoupled from the rest of the atomic system \footnote{As a matter of fact, having fixed a particular pair of atoms and calling $\hat{w}$ the direction joining two atoms and $\hat{h}$ the one perpendicular to the atomic plane, a $wh$ interaction between dipoles exists, due to the electromagnetic contribution of the slab \cite{Bellomo2013}. In practice, however, such an interaction is negligibly small with respect to co-planar dipoles couplings and will thus have no detectable consequence on the qubits thermodynamics.} and as such thermalizes with its local environment at the temperature $T_{\mathrm{env}}=386\,$K. By increasing $\alpha$ one triggers and strengthens the coupling of the 2LS labeled as 4 with the rest of the target body, and starts receiving then, indirectly, the task of the machine. As long as the qubit-qubit coupling is comparable with the coupling of qubit 4 with its local environment, however, the steady value of $\theta_4$ will be something in between $T_{\mathrm{env}}$ and $\theta_\text{M}$. This competition between the driving of the local field and the task of the machine varies continuously and smoothly with $\alpha$, allowing one to adjust it at will. Finally, for $\alpha$ big enough, the machine effect becomes dominant and $\theta_4$ becomes almost independent on the dipole orientation of qubit 4.

\section{Conclusions}
In this Letter, we have demonstrated the possibility of externally control and distribute the temperature of each constituent of a many-qubit quantum system. The mechanism we propose is simple and yet powerful and stable: by means of a single three level system and an out-of-thermal-equilibrium steady electromagnetic field one can tune and stabilize the local qubit temperatures to values at will in a remarkably broad range, only depending on the details of the three level system and of the realistic parameters characterizing the electromagnetic field. The local temperatures can be easily tuned, by means of easily handleable parameters such as qubits position or dipole orientations. The OTE field naturally mediates for the interaction between qubits and between them and the 3LS. Moreover, the latter is usually much stronger than the one between each qubit and a possible thermal reservoir connected to it, such that our paradigm overcomes the usual problem of obtaining a configuration of interacting qubits having however strongly different temperatures. This need arises when practically realizing microscopic machines to produce steady heat fluxes between meso- or macroscopic reservoirs \cite{Linden2010}, for which each of the interacting qubits must also be in local thermal equilibrium with one of these reservoirs.

Our results thus pave the way for the practical exploitation of the new generation of microscopic and quantum thermal machines recently thoroughly studied.

The unique flying classroom based on customised Fairchild Swearingen C-26A Metroliner, known as the Airborne Systems Training and Research Support (ASTARS) III, arrived at Naval Air Station Patuxent River, United States naval air station located in St. Mary's County, Maryland.
According to the statement by Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR), the custom C-26A Metroliner is equipped with subsystems and has a matching simulation lab allowing students to familiarize themselves with the subsystems before flying with instructors has been transferred to US Naval Test Pilot School (USNTPS).
The ASTARS III is the third generation of flying classroom for the USNTPS curriculum, is a custom tailored C-26A Metroliner equipped with military equipment and subsystems. A custom tailored simulation lab was also built in conjunction with the aircraft to have matching crew stations.
The ASTARS objective is for students to familiarize themselves with the aircraft and its systems in a simulation lab before flying airborne for the first time which increases the efficiency of flight time spent with instructors in the air. USNTPS' original ASTARS is a divested P-3; ASTARS II is a leased modified Saab 340 and the contract will end in fall 2018.


Inter started the season in a rather slow manner after suffering two defeats from their opening four league matches but they have since picked up pace with seven straight wins which sees them right behind table-toppers Juventus. Meanwhile, they have also impressed on their return to the Champions League with six points from the opening three group-stage matches and they are currently positioned second behind Barcelona.
Elsewhere, Ernesto Valverde's side also experienced a mixed bag during the early phase of the campaign, but they have picked up pace since the last international break. The Catalan giants have not dropped a single point following the last set of internationals and this has helped them bridge a four-point lead at the top of the La Liga standings. Barca are likewise leading their Champions League group and a victory would seal their position in the knockouts with the top spot.

There Should Be Reining-In Of Kerala Congress Party Leaders: AK Antony
The CPI-M is not the biggest enemy of the Congress here, but the Congress party only is the main enemy as can be seen in what happened here in recent times, he said.
Kerala | Indo-Asian News Service | Updated: July 05, 2018 22:05 IST
AK Antony said the Congress is presently undergoing bad times
Thiruvananthapuram:
Congress Working Committee member AK Antony on Thursday asked his fellow party leaders in Kerala to be disciplined and united otherwise the future would be very bleak for the party.
In his address at the centenary birthday celebrations of former Chief Minister K Karunakaran -- his former party rival as for close to three decades from the 1970s, the Congress state unit was strongly divided between their factions with the former on top most of the time -- Mr Antony said the Congress is presently undergoing bad times, much worse than what Karunakaran faced when he led the party in the late 1960s.
"The CPI-M is not the biggest enemy of the Congress here, but the Congress party only is the main enemy as can be seen in what happened here in recent times. There should be a reining-in of leaders in the party as washing dirty linen in public has become the order of the day.
"It should stop and whatever has to be said should be said in the party forum. Everything should be discussed in the party first," he said at the function at the party headquarters.
Several senior leaders including former state unit President VM Sudheeran had openly criticised the manner in which former Chief Minister Oommen Chandy, Leader of Opposition Ramesh Chennithala and state party chief MM Hassan gifted a Rajya Sabha seat to a former ally - KM Mani's party - so as to enable his party's return to the Congress-led United Democratic Front fold after two years.
These three leaders had come under severe attack from a section of Congress leaders, with many of these voicing their opinions on live TV debates. All this came soon after the massive drubbing that the Congress candidate suffered at the hands of the CPI-M candidate at the May 28 assembly by-election.
"There should be utmost restraint by all those who dabble in social media. What's happening now is not acceptable as several leaders are grossly immersed in it. The party cannot be strengthened by being active in the social media. It can happen when the party leaders reach out to the grassroots and it has to happen very fast," Mr Antony said.

New interpretations of republican thought
Alberto Ribeiro Gonçalves de Barros (FFLCH-USP) highlights the importance that English republicanism has assumed in the revival of republican thought in recent years, presenting itself as an alternative to the different forms of liberalism.
By Heitor Shimizu, from Lyon | Agência FAPESP – Studies on English republicanism and its concept of liberty have returned to the spotlight in the field of political theory in the last few decades. The theme was addressed by the professor of the School of Philosophy, Arts, and Human Sciences of the University of São Paulo (FFLCH-USP) Alberto Ribeiro Gonçalves de Barros (photo) last Friday (11/22), at FAPESP Week France.
"The definition of liberty as non-domination does not correspond to the meaning given by the republican tradition. It derives from a partial and problematic historical interpretation of republican thought," said Gonçalves de Barros.
According to the researcher, neo-republicanism merely expresses the perspective of English republicanism, distancing itself from important sources of modern republicanism, such as the political thoughts of Niccolò Machiavelli (1469-1527) and Jean-Jacques Rousseau (1712-1778).
"This revival in political theory aims to present republicanism as a valuable alternative to the different forms of liberalism. Studies on English republicanism and its concept of liberty have assumed an important place in the republican thought of the last few decades. Since the publication of The Machiavellian Moment: Florentine Political Thought and the Atlantic Republican Tradition [1975], by John Pocock, English republicanism has often been interpreted as a manifestation of Machiavelli's republicanism, which was later transmitted to the American colonies and played an important role in the American Revolution and in the formation of American values," he said.
Republican (or neo-republican) theoretical thinking emerged at the end of the 1980s, its exponents being the Irishman Phillip Pettit, from a Political Philosophy point of view, and the Englishman Quentin Skinner, from a History point of view.
Pettit and, in particular, Skinner, postulated the idea of liberty as "non-domination" or as "non-arbitrariness" as an alternative to the "two liberties" defined by Isaiah Berlin (1909-1997) – negative and positive liberty. The former consists of the direct participation of citizens in political life, in Rousseau's ideal in which everyone participates in public life and there is no private life. All citizens are free because they submit to the laws that they themselves have made.
Negative liberty consists of the uninhibited action of citizens in their lives and of a limited State. Citizens take part in political life by choosing representatives. This is the liberal ideal described by John Locke (1632-1704).
Liberty and civic participation
Gonçalves de Barros explains that Skinner and Pettit took English republicanism as a main reference to address contemporary political problems.
"Arguing that English republicanism was merely a very particular expression of republican thought draws attention to the limits of neo-republicanism itself. Skinner and Pettit presented the republican conception of liberty as an option to overcome the dichotomy between negative and positive liberty," he said.
According to Gonçalves de Barros, while classical republicanism (since Rome) asserted that, in order to enjoy civil liberty, it was necessary to establish harmony and unity in the political body, Machiavelli emphasized the need to learn to preserve liberty within conflict.
"The 17th century British republicans – John Milton [1608-1674], Marchamont Nedham [1620-1678], James Harrington [1611-1677], and Algernon Sidney [1623-1683] – did not take up this fundamental idea. They completely rejected Machiavelli's positive view of the outcomes of civil conflicts," he said.
"While these British authors used Machiavelli's arguments to praise the Commonwealth, they didn't embrace fundamental principles of his republicanism. There was only a partial and selective adoption of Machiavellian ideas. English republicanism was more a synthesis of classical republicanism with common law principles in a modern political language of interests than the expression of Machiavelli's republicanism," he said.
The FAPESP Week France symposium is taking place between November 21st and 27th, thanks to a partnership between FAPESP and the Universities of Lyon and Paris, both in France. Read other news about the event at www.fapesp.br/week2019/france/.

The Petersen Automotive Museum
Role: Creative direction, content development, branded entertainment, live action direction, design direction, vfx supervision, post supervision.
Three floors of large scale experiential art projection. A permanent installation that breathes new life to the exhibit of these amazing automobiles and takes them beyond mere displays.
Just as the new architecture of the Petersen Museum creates a powerfully emotional experience, the proposed video installation must be equally impactful. This installation cannot be ordinary; instead it needs to be a living, organic extension of the building itself, enhancing both the architecture and the cars on display.
With that in mind, these are the goals:
- The work needs to be immersive. Not an edit on the wall, rather an art installation. Where possible, interactive.
- The work needs to bear playback 24/7.
- The design and esthetics need to have a long shelf life.
- The content should be modular to allow randomization and periodic exhibit refresh.
- For maximum visual immersion, the projection surface should be treated as one long, continuous canvas.
Making Of.
Wired | The Petersen Car Museum Comes Roaring Back | With Walls of Video!
Artistry of the Automobile
At the core of the content for the "Art of the Automobile" wall is a concept we call "The Spark of Creativity."
We begin with the flash of an initial idea, sparked from a form in nature (a shell, a ying bird, a leaping deer), architecture, music, the forms of dancing bodies. Through the artist's hands, this idea gets transmuted into tangible automotive parts: soft curves and outlines of the body, grill, or headlights.
More ideas burst from this singular event, branching and expanding, reflecting the art in every aspect of the automobile, all interconnected through a nexus of shimmers and curves representing the "creative force" - a branching tree of lines and light mixed with suggestive shadows evoking the architectural details of the Petersen building. The tone is poetic and majestic, like a sculpture floating in zero gravity.
We treat the length of the projection as one long form. Rolling from one direction to the other, like a parade, we are not merely contained by the 175 feet of screen; rather, we create a longer strip of morphing imagery, revealing more as it slowly pans from left to right.
Throughout the exhibit, the displayed environment will provide visuals that can be appreciated when visitors are close, or as a panorama from afar.
"The Spark of Creativity" is an active animation that draws traffic from one display to the next, following the sprite of creative inspiration that births tangents at multiple points over the length of the exhibit.
With a total running time of 10-12 minutes, the different stages in design do not exclude one another. They play into each other, slowly transitioning from one style to the other in space (across the length of the screen) and in time, keeping the content fresh and interesting.
Thrill of Motorsports
This display is about racing from the audience's perspective, focusing on the emotions of the sport and its fans. It lends itself to an immersive experience due to the quality of the arched video wall.
We start on the empty bleachers of a racetrack as the sun is coming up.
It is quiet, solemn, yet bristling with the anticipation of the events to come.
Outside the raceway fans start showing up. Our camera POV is one of them.
We share their excitement and anticipation as we bump shoulders with the other fans.
Now, we are one of the pit crew, getting ready.
Fluidly we become the driver putting on his helmet and sitting in the driver's seat.
We are the starting line flagman, our own hand waving the flag that starts the race.
We are the driver, our hands reaching to the steering wheel....and then
we are a fan following the race amongst the cheers in the bleachers.
We are the pit crew changing a tire or fueling, we are the driver crossing the finish line.
We are one of the crew, victory fist in the air and a fan running to the podium.
We are on the podium victorious among the cheers of the crowd below, under the confetti and champagne.
We are cheering around the podium or the journalist snapping pictures.
We are a fan walking out of the venue amongst the other fans, smiles in their faces.
We are a lone POV on the empty bleachers as the sun sets down.

Road To Stardom
Content combined and spread across 10 screens in a homage to cars in Hollywood. It touches on the cars that have become icons, the cars that have set the period tone and the car chases that have brought excitement to the audience. The car's of the stars also hold a special place. Elvis' Pantera, Astaire's Town Car, Jayne Mansfield's Lincoln. Beyond these are the cars that are used to make the entertainment we love. Camera cars and bikes have brought places we can't go in reality, sometimes at top speed.
All this combined in a fast-paced, Hollywood inspired video that plays as backdrop to ten of the museums most famous cars


In the last years of WWII, the sleepy Polish town of Oświęcim saw the cruel massacre of as many as three million innocent men, women and children in the gas chambers.
I really didn't know what to expect from my visit to Auschwitz. I was excited to be visiting a site which had played such a pivotal role in the course of twentieth century history, but I was also afraid that I was going to get lost in taking photos and somehow fail to show the due respect.
The gate house at Birkenau is located three kilometres, or about two miles, from the main Auschwitz camp, known as Auschwitz I. The road goes over the railroad overpass where Reichsführer Heinrich Himmler stood on March 1, 1941 when he selected the village of Birkenau to be the location of a new addition to the Auschwitz camp. At that time, the invasion of the Soviet Union and the plan to exterminate all the Jews in Europe was only months away.
The overall message of the Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum, as I perceived it, was to always remind us about the humankind capacity for cruelty and to ensure that nothing like this is ever allowed to happen again.


My scale broke, and I am not gonna buy another one until I get enough Go365 bucks to get a free one (Humana's rewards program for being healthy). So who knows how much I weigh. Diet was p good, didnt eat much carbs.
I am going to re-do Base Week 1 of smolov because last week I failed miserably at getting good weights sessions in.
You going to hit you DL goal?

Вардаровското селище () е археологически обект край кукушкото село Вардаровци (Аксиухори), Гърция.

Местоположение
Селищната могила е разположена непосредствено южно от селото, на източния бряг на Вардар (Аксиос). Според гръцки източници местността носи старото име на селото Вардаровци (Bαρδαρόφτσα) или Тумба. В съседство има останки от историческия период и гробища от класическия и римския период.

История
Археологическият интерес на това място първоначално е демонстриран от разкопките и повърхностните проучвания, извършени в по-широкия район на Кукуш по време на Първата световна война (1915-1918) от британски археолози, служещи в в британските части.

При разкопките на пробни участъци на склона на Тумба са разкрити жилищни нива с останки от опожарени колиби, с плетени стени, техника на тръстика и тухла, както и с каменна инфраструктура. Въз основа на оцелелите строителни останки, къщите са построени на платформи. Малки групи камъни показват възможното съществуване на огнища, които се свързват с овъглени семена и дървени греди, воденични камъни и плоски камъни.

В керамиката, дошла от проучванията на разкопките, са представени всички фази на бронзовата епоха (ранна, средна, късна), ранножелязната епоха, както и всички по-късни фази на обитаване в по-широкия район на долината на Вардар до III век пр.н.е. Не е представена неолитната епоха. Основната епоха на селището обхваща късноеладската III фаза с като керамика от микенски тип, местна и вносна и прехода от късната бронзова епоха към ранната желязна епоха.

В 1986 година обектът е обявен за защитен паметник. В 1994 година защитената зона е разширена.

Идентификация
За археологическия обект Аксиохори се предлага идентификацията му с древния град Амидон, който се смята за омировата столица на Пеония в областта на долното течение на Вардар.

Точното местоположение на Амидон обаче не е сигурно. Според британския археолог Уилям Хъртли и британския историк Никълъс Хамънд Амидон е край Вардаровци поради обхвата и централното местоположение на това селище спрямо останалите селища в района. Но според втора по-малко вероятна версия на британския археолог Стенли Касон, базирана на информацията на Омир, че близо до град Амидон е имало извор, местоположението на античния град е край Аматово (днес Аспрос).

Страбон (края на I век пр. Хр.; началото на I век сл. Хр.) се отнася до унищожаването на Амидон от Аргеадите, а Стефан Византийски (VI век сл. Хр.) споменава Амидон, град в Пеония.

Kurt Erich Lemke (* 4. Juni 1914 in Westpreußen; † 11. November 1996) war ein deutscher Politiker (SED). Er war Stellvertreter des Ministers für Handel und Versorgung der DDR.

Leben
Lemke war seit seiner Jugend Mitglied des Kommunistischen Jugendverbandes Deutschlands (KJVD). Ostern 1930 nahm er am 5. Reichsjugendtreffen des KJVD in Leipzig teil.

Lemke trat 1945 der KPD bei und wurde 1946 Mitglied der SED. 1945/46 fungierte er als Landrat des Kreises Spremberg. 1947/48 leitete er die Unterabteilung bzw. das Dezernat Planung und Statistik in der Abteilung Handel und Versorgung des brandenburgischen Ministeriums für Wirtschaftsplanung. Von Januar bis 1949 leitete er – in Nachfolge von Hermann Streit – kurzzeitig die Hauptabteilung Handel und Versorgung im brandenburgischen Wirtschaftsministerium. Ab Juni 1949 war Lemke Leiter der neugebildeten Hauptabteilung Erfassung und Aufkauf landwirtschaftlicher Erzeugnisse beim brandenburgischen Ministerpräsidenten bzw. von November 1950 bis 1951 im brandenburgischen Ministerium für Handel und Versorgung.

Von 1951 bis 1961 fungierte Lemke als stellvertretender Präsident und Abteilungsleiter beim Verband deutscher Konsumgenossenschaften. Von 1961 bis 1966 war er stellvertretender Minister, dann von 1966 bis 1980 Staatssekretär, von 1980 bis 1989 erneut stellvertretender Minister für Handel und Versorgung der DDR.

Von 1968 bis 1972 war Lemke auch Mitglied des Rates für Land- und Nahrungsgüterwirtschaft. Lemke war Mitglied der Zentralen Kommission zur Betreuung alter verdienter Parteimitglieder der SED und lebte zuletzt als Veteran in Berlin.

Nach der Wende in der DDR gehörte er neben Eduard Schwierz, Peter Grabley und Lothar Engel zu den vier hohen SED-Wirtschaftsfunktionären, die noch im Bonner Bundeswirtschaftsministerium arbeiteten.

Your morning roundup for Oct. 18, the day those dastardly criminal penguins got away with it. Photo via @xmasape. Got any stories or photos for us? Tip your editors.
What we watched: The Dolphins and Jets do all they could to set football back 50 years. Miami being awful is somewhat expected, what with somebody named Matt Moore under center and an owner who already understands this season is beyond being saved. But the Jets? They were supposed to be a Super Bowl team. Yet here they were, a three-game losing streak in tow, hosting a listless, winless opponent, and all they could muster through the first quarter was 10 yards of offense and not a single first down. And somehow, they had the lead.
Even The Dolphins' Owner Wants To Suck For Luck
The campaign to see no-hope NFL franchises tank the season to better position themselves to draft…
There no doubt were more than a few folks tuning in hoping to see Brandon Marshall live up to his promise to get ejected and maybe start a brawl before the half. Instead, all we got was Marshall running out of bounds and dropping a touchdown pass, which does keep his streak of TD drops in every game this season intact. Twitter seemed to declare the Dolphins the frontrunners in the Suck for Luck sweepstakes after last night, and it's hard to disagree. But, terrible though they are, for the sake of those fans who have to endure this, perhaps the Dolphins shouldn't be so obvious about it.
Brandon Marshall's Game Plan This Week Calls For Getting Ejected And Maybe Fighting, Just So You...
Brandon Marshall has given us a reason to talk about the Dolphins for something other than how…
Nolan Ryan guarantees his team will lose two games: "I think we'll get it done in six." [ESPN]
NFL tradefuckingdeadline: "Nothing is happening." [PFT]
Guess this counts as a positive for the Dolphins: "It was a Miami success of sorts that Marshall managed not to get thrown out in the second quarter as he had said last week. Not that it mattered because Miami's so-called elite receiver was the one falling out of bounds and dropping the touchdown and failing to make any play that really made a difference." [Miami Herald]
Your Miniature Golf Trick Shots Interlude:
No way! All coaches in the old days had better respect for the game!: "Of course, this wasn't the first time a little bad blood created a memorable conflict in the NFL. Some other noteworthy incidents involving combustible coaches..." [Los Angeles Times]
Looks like Missouri to the SEC is happening: "The person said that Missouri's decision to apply for membership to the SEC was "inevitable and imminent," although a specific timeframe has yet to be set. Missouri's Board of Curators will meet on Thursday and Friday at the University of Missouri-Kansas City, where the process of withdrawing from the Big 12 and applying to the SEC is expected to begin. Expansion is not listed on the agenda, but there is a private session scheduled Thursday afternoon and Friday morning. After it applies, the person said that Missouri expected "no problems" with gathering enough votes among SEC presidents for it to become a member." [New York Times]

Why was Wayne Rooney arrested for public intoxication?
The former Manchester United and England captain was taken into custody on December 16 in Virginia.
It is believed the 33-year-old, who now plays for American team DC United, was detained at Washington's Dulles airport, which is near the club's stadium.
He was released later the same day on a personal recognizance bond, said Kraig Troxell, a spokesman for the Loudoun County Sheriff's Office.
A spokesman for the player was quoted by British media as saying he was "disorientated" after mixing sleeping pills with alcohol during a flight from Saudi Arabia.

Fire crews learn cause of Pilot Mountain fire; containment at 50%
by: FOX8 Digital Desk
PILOT MOUNTAIN, N.C. (WGHP) — Fire officials at Pilot Mountain learned the cause of the fire that continues to burn, marking five days of flames atop the North Carolina landmark.
Officials say the cause is a campfire in an undesignated area. There is no info at this time on the party responsible for the campfire.
Wildfire doubles in a day with 1,000+ acres now burned at Pilot Mountain, officials say
As of Wednesday afternoon, about 1,050 acres of the 3,800-acre park have burned.
The fire is 50% contained.
The Sauratown Mountain fire is 100% contained. There was a re-kindle in the middle of the containment lines that crews put out.
Weather expected to fan the flames
Weather is still a concern for fire officials with warmer temperatures coming in.
The Mayor of Pilot Mountain, Evan Cockerham, posted on Facebook Sunday evening that the dry forecast for the next few days is contributing to the spread of the flames.
The weather is "against" them as of right now, according to the NC Forest Service. The dry, windy conditions are going to complicate containment, especially given the terrain.

Crews working around the clock to put out fire at Pilot Mountain
Park closed
The NC State Parks and Recreation Department says Pilot Mountain State Park is expected to be closed all week. They have no timeframe for when it will reopen.
Burn ban
A statewide ban on outdoor burning is in place at this time.
Cockerham asks that anyone in Surry and surrounding counties refrain from any outdoor burning. Anyone who sees outdoor burning should contact local law enforcement.
Smoke and haze
The Forsyth County Emergency Services Communications Division has received multiple reports of a strong smell of smoke and haze in multiple areas within the county due to the fire at Pilot Mountain.
"Smoke from the wildfire near Pilot mountain will impact the Triad during Monday late afternoon/evening through the overnight hours Tuesday as winds shift from the northwest to the southwest," the Forsyth County Office of Environmental Assistance and Protection said in an alert. "Particle pollution levels will be elevated as the wildfire smoke rotates through the Triad."
The Forsyth County EAP does not expect particle pollution to reach unhealthy levels, but the agency said people with asthma or other health issues may want to limit their time outdoors.
"By noon Tuesday, the smoke plume will primarily affect portions of Surry and Stokes counties into southern Virginia," Forsyth County EAP said.
The FCESCD says you do not need to call 911 to report fire on Pilot Mountain or smoke spreading from the mountain. The public should only call 911 if there is an "actual" incident involving smoke and visible flames.
The Pilot Knob Volunteer Fire Department has been accepting donations of water and Gatorade at their station and has received an abundance.
"Storage for these items has been overwhelmed. If you would like to donate, please consider a monetary donation to your local fire department. Thank you all that have donated items as they will be used," Surry County Emergency Services said in a news release.
According to officials, the fire started at the Grindstone Trail. The call reporting the fire came in around 5 p.m. on Saturday. The NC Forest Service believes the fire was human-made, but the exact cause is unclear.
Crews were called off Saturday night but returned Sunday morning with more than 30 firefighters from area agencies, NC Forest Service personnel and NC Park members.
The fire had destroyed about 60 acres by about 9 a.m. Sunday, increasing to about 200 acres by 4 p.m.
Crews worked to prep around infrastructure and buildings in the park area.
Planes were in the air at 10 a.m Monday., and more crews joined those already fighting the fire Monday from southern North Carolina counties, as well as crews from east of Raleigh.
An official with the NC Forest Service says that an estimated 500 acres burned as of 11 a.m.
A new strategy could change the course of the Pilot Mountain fire. Firefighters began helping the fire burn in a controlled manner, working to direct the fire down the mountain to the fire containment line. Officials say this will take a couple of days.
Monday night, 29 NC Forest Service members set up an incident command post in an old funeral home about seven miles from the park entrance.
About 60 firefighters are working the fire.
A time-lapse video shows the progression of the fire burning on Pilot Mountain. The video, taken by Daniel Whittaker, shows flames burning up the side of the mountain overnight up to Pilot Mountain's famous knob.
The fire was recorded at 572 acres burned on Tuesday morning.
By Tuesday afternoon, it had consumed more than 1,000 acres.
There are 57 fire crew members on Pilot Mountain.


The primary aim of this research was to determine the current levels of occupational stress amongst South African teachers. Teachers' experiences of professional stress were measured with an occupational stress instrument (OSI-R). The OSI-R measures the impact of an individual's stress in three domains of occupational adjustment namely occupational roles; psychological strain, and coping/personal resources. The researchers sampled 188 teachers from 22 departmental/state schools in the Free State Province of South Africa. Results from the present study demonstrated that the majority of participants experienced moderate to high levels of stress in the 'occupational role' domain. With regard to 'psychological stress' results point to a fairly even distribution of participants in the 'moderate' and 'high' stress level categories. The third domain, namely 'coping resources' demonstrated that personal resources such as 'recreation' and 'self-care' achieved higher t-scores on the OSI-R, compared to indicators of 'social support' and 'rationale-cognitive' coping measures, which respectively measured average and very low t-scores. With reference to the theoretical models of Karasek and Theorell (1990), and Osipow and Spokane (1984), the researchers hypothesized that personal coping resources amongst participants in the present study, played a significant role as 'mediator' between high workload, low job/work control and work-related stress; therefore some teacher participants are able to cope due to higher coping skills and personal resources, whilst very high level of occupational stress were present amongst teachers with limited personal resources. In conclusion results from the present study firstly demonstrated the enormous work strain and occupational stress of South African teachers. Secondly, it highlighted the importance of coping skills and how they can 'buffer' the detrimental effects of occupational stress amongst teachers in South Africa.

It's ok though. I'll make it available someday. And there's always things that can be said without giving too terribly much away.
The official name for this new species that Gillian has become as a hybrid is called – Divine Generated Hybrid (DGH). Which will be mentioned in 12.2.
Gillian is a hybrid of exactly 23 species. Several considered good, several considered evil, several considered neutral.
4 of the species are considered fully undead, 1 semi-undead, 1 fully dead, 3 fully alive; the rest are not typically classified on that spectrum.
Another thing that held me back in 2010 in releasing the series as I'd wanted is – quite simply the story has fully outgrown the format. It was hard to come to terms with, but it has. When I started writing it I had no clue where it would end up. But at this stage I just have to admit I'm more of a long form writer than a short form writer. These parts have more that longs to be told. Or perhaps rather that needs to escape from the prison of my brainmeats.
Fortunately, the serial part of the format is still what works for the story .
The format changes shouldn't be too much of a problem. I already interject non main story bits on here, and the story has been slipping more into prose form with each new part released. Hopefully, the progression can be gradual still. However, writing is it's own master, obeying my subconscious more than any other part of me, so I have limited control over such bits.
