Finally, make certain to list any treatments or medications you're taking to control your asthma, and to incorporate a copy of a current medical screening. If you or somebody you know suffers from asthma, life insurance won't be difficult so long as the remainder of your wellness is in check.
Although most men and women feel asthma isn't a critical health problem, deaths do occur as a consequence of the status. In the event the asthma isn't well managed or the indicators are severe enough to have caused a hospital visit in the previous two years, life insurance businesses might choose to grant rater premiums instead of the customary regular terms. When it has to do with asthma they'll want to understand a few things linked to your situation.

Identifying Factors for Worker Motivation in Zambia's Rural Health Facilities.
Within Zambia there is a shortage of health workers in rural areas. This study aims to identify motivating factors for retaining rural health workers.
Sixty rural health workers completed surveys and 46 were interviewed. They rated the importance of six motivating factors and discussed these and other factors in interviews. An interview was conducted with a Government Human Resources Manager (HR Manager) to elicit contextual information.
All six factors were identified as being very important motivators, as were two additional factors. Additional career training was identified by many as the most important factor. Comparison of results and the HR Manager interview revealed that workers lacked knowledge about opportunities and that the HR manager was aware of barriers to career development.
The Zambian government might better motivate and retain rural health workers by offering them any combination of identified factors, and by addressing the barriers to career development.

CRISPR/Cas9: New calls for ethical regulations
Publié le 3 Sep, 2015
The emergence of the new CRISPR-Cas9 technology, which allows all types of genes to be edited, including those present in human embryos, is triggering a new wave of debates. Following the concerns voiced by various American and French scientists, (See Gènéthique 01.04.2015 et 27.05.2015), it is now the turn of British medical charity organisation, the Wellcome Trust, to call for a major ethical debate on the subject.
The association that considers CRISPR as a "transforming" technology emphasises the "importance of broaching the ethical questions""raised" by this kind of invention. This call for international dialogue follows on from the first experimental editing of human embryos by scientistschinois (See Gènéthique du 27.04.2015). This approach – the first of its kind – has been denounced by many scientists and experts who warn against the "abusive and reckless modification of human genomes, the effects of which could impact upon future generations".

Everybody is getting real excited about yubikeys recently, so I figured I should get excited, too. I have so far resisted two factor authorizing everything, but this seemed like another fun experiment. There's a lot written about yubikeys and how you should use one, but nothing I've read answered a few of the specific questions I had.
It's not a secret I've had a dim view of two factor auth, although many of my gripes are about implementation details. I think a lot of that remains true. Where two factor auth perhaps might succeed is in limiting the damage of phishing attacks. I like to think of myself as a little too savvy for most phishing attacks. That's sadly true of most phishing victims as well, but really: I don't use webmail. I don't have any colleagues sharing documents with me. I read my mail in a terminal, thus on the rare occasion that I copy and paste a link, I see exactly the URL I'm going to, not the false text between the <a> tags. Nevertheless, if everybody else recommends secure tokens, I should at least consider getting on board with that recommendation. But not before actually trying these things out.
To begin with, I ordered two yubikeys. One regular sized 4 and one nano. I wanted to play with different form factors to see which is better for various uses, and I wanted to test having a key and a backup key. Everybody always talks about having one yubikey. And then if you lose it, terrible things happen. Can this problem be alleviated with two keys? I'm also very curious what happens when I try to login to a service with my phone after enabling U2F.
We've got three computers (and operating systems) in the mix, along with a number of (mostly web) services. Wherever possible, I want to use a yubikey both to login to the computer and to authorize myself to remote services. I'm somewhat split on the decision to use a yubikey for two factor vs alternative factor. I'll consider either.
I started my adventure on my chromebook. Ultimate goal would be to use the yubikey for local logins. Either as a second factor, or as an alternative factor. First things first and we need to get the yubikey into the account I use to sign into the chromebook. Alas, there is apparently no way to enroll only a security key for a Google account. Every time I tried, it would ask me for my phone number. That is not what I want. Zero stars.
Facebook signup using U2F was pretty easy. Go to account settings, security subheading, add the device. Tap the button when it glows. Key added. Note that it's possible to add a key without actually enabling two factor auth, in which case you can still login with only a password, but no way to login with no password and only a USB key. Logged out to confirm it would check the key, and everything looked good, so I killed all my other active sessions. Now for the phone test. Not quite as smooth. Tried to login, the Facebook app then tells me it has sent me an SMS and to enter the code in the box. But I don't have a phone number attached. I'm not getting an SMS code.
Later, I logged out and logged in again on my phone with just a password because during the approval process I had selected the option to remember this device. This is somewhat confusing because the message appears in Chrome and refers to "this browser" but it's actually talking about the app on my phone. Doing it over, I would choose the option not to remember. I trust my phone, but if I logout of Facebook, it's for good reason. More clarity here would be nice as well.
Let's configure Dropbox next. Dropbox won't let you add a security key to an account until after you've already set up some other mobile authenticator. I already had the Duo app on my phone, so I picked that, and after a short QR scan, I'm ready to add the yubikey. So the key works to access Dropbox via Chrome. Accessing Dropbox via my phone or Firefox requires entering a six digit code. No way to use a yubikey in a three legged configuration.
I don't use Github, but I know they support two factors, so let's try them next. Very similar to Dropbox. In order to set up a key, I must first set up an authenticator app. This time I went with Yubico's own desktop authenticator. Instead of scanning the QR code, type in some giant number (on my Windows laptop), and it spits out an endless series of six digit numbers, but only while the yubikey is inserted. I guess this is kind of what I want, although a three pound yubikey is kind of unwieldy. (I'm not clear exactly how this works, but after more investigation, some number of TOTP secret keys can be stored on the yubikey. But I think only the yubikey 4 series, which confused me. Otherwise the keys are encrypted using the credentials in one of the slots? It is possible to install the program on another computer and access them from the same key, at least with my yubikey.) Of course, having made it this far, adding the key in U2F mode is smooth and easy.
For our online services review, ok marks for Dropbox and Github (and I imagine many other sites). I would prefer some means to enroll only a yubikey, instead of using it as an alternative. Some incomplete UI interactions aside, Facebook seems to have implemented exactly what I want. I can login with the key, without needing anything else. For devices like my phone, this requires (configurably one time or every time) approval from my laptop. Possibly cumbersome, but it was actually easier than typing TOTP tokens in. And less stressful, since there's no need to race the clock. I've always felt like only six digits for TOTP codes is too short, even if they do expire quickly, so I'm happy to avoid them if I can. Hopefully these are true second factors and not actually single factors that can be used to perform a password reset.
As part of my experiment, I noticed that Dropbox verifies passwords before even looking at the second auth. I have a feeling that they should be checked at the same time. No sense allowing my password guessing attack to proceed while I plot how to steal someone's yubikey. In a sense, the yubikey should serve as a salt, preventing me from mounting such an attack until I have it, thus creating a race where the victim notices the key is gone and revokes access before I learn the password. If I know the password, the instant I grab the key I get access. Along similar lines, I was able to complete a password reset without entering any kind of secondary code.
In the course of writing this up, I went back and had another look at my Facebook settings. I also have a code generator enabled there, which is yet another TOTP implementation. I must have enabled this at some point in the past and forgotten it. Doing everything again, Facebook also won't let me enable two factor without configuring a mobile app to use the code generator. So the above is partly wrong; it's only what I'd hoped to see. Still, bonus points awarded for letting me use an authenticated desktop session to approve other logins. Ideally, these three legged setups would reverify that the U2F key is present. Facebook did allow me to approve my phone login without pressing the button. I'm a little confused though how the FB mobile app generates login tokens for itself. I guess there could be a bug here that if you only have the mobile app generator and you logout you can't login? Wonder how many people get burned by that.
Having my phone turn into a second factor is a big part of what I'm looking to avoid with the yubikey. I'd like to be able to take my phone with me, logged into some sites but not all, and unable to login to the rest. All these sites that require using my phone as mobile authenticator are making that difficult. I bought the yubikey because it was cheaper than buying another phone! Using the Yubico desktop authenticator seems the best way around that.
In the course of fooling around I read that there are some sites that allow using OTP against Yubico's servers? I didn't try that.
Next I tried setting up a Windows laptop to require a yubikey to login. The Yubico Windows logon utility wants to use HMAC challenge response mode. So first we run the personalization and configuration utility to set that up, then run the login utility and configure the tedu account to use a key. This is mostly just a matter of clicking ok a bunch of times, and then everything is set. Reboot, and it mostly works. If the key is missing, the error message you get is literally "Status:" followed by an OK button. Otherwise though the challenge response happens magically in the background. You just enter your password as normal and proceed.
I have also a Windows desktop, and in the course of searching for and downloading the Yubi logon program, discovered that there is support for Windows Hello. This would let me login with just the yubikey, no password. OK, let's try it that way for this machine. First, this requires setting a PIN for the Windows account. Do that and discover that anybody with the PIN can login. No password required! The yubikey hello app registers itself as a third way to login (password, PIN, yubi) but not as an accessory for the PIN. Immediately unregister key and delete PIN. I'd be ok with password or yubikey, but I'm very not ok with a PIN like 4321 also permitting login. This is terrible!
OpenBSD includes yubikey OTP login support out of the box. This is the classic mode where you touch the capacitive button and it sprays a password out via virtual keyboard. First, login.conf needs a tweak. This suffices to enable yubikey support for all users (in place of skey support).
Then we create a few files in /var/db/yubikey just like it says in the login_yubikey man page. Since the Windows challenge response key was written to slot 2, I setup new OTP keys in slot 1. This overrides the factory OTP config, which they warn against doing. But since the OTP keys are essentially a plaintext password, I'd prefer not to share them with anybody's cloud service. Doesn't everyone change the default password when they get a new device? I left password auth enabled as the default, but it's easy to change the order. Depending on which program you're using, the procedure for selecting a login style varies. For login, such as at the console, it's username:style, meaning I might try tedu:yubikey. For xlock, which doesn't ask for a username, it's style:password, so I would either type my password or yubikey:bananaspray.
A few notes about OTP. As mentioned, the secret key is the real password. It's stored on whatever laptop or server you login to. Meaning any of those machines can take the key and use it to login to any other machine. If you use the same yubikey to login to both your laptop and a remote server, your stolen laptop can trivially be used to login to the server without the key. Be mindful of that when setting up multiple machines. Also, the OTP counter isn't synced between machines in this setup, which allows limited replay attacks.
One extremely simple alternative is to continue using ssh keys, but program the yubikey with a passphrase that unlocks the private key, thus tying access to the yubikey. This isn't really a great idea, but I wanted to mention the static passphrase feature because it works with softraid crypto. At least on my X1, anyway; probably wise to verify that USB keyboards are supported in the bootloader before going all in.
This is the part where using ssh keys on the yubikey would be described, but no. I went to the trouble of rolling all my identity keys to ed25519 not that long ago, and I'm not doing it over. I notice that the new yubikeys claim to support at least some ECC p curves, but the funny thing is that there's almost no official documentation. Instead, Yubico just points to some random blog and forum posts, most of which are somewhat older and specify that only RSA is supported. And then I notice that all these easy peasy instructions on getting started with gpg-agent run to many pages in length, so I think I'll sit this round out.
Comparing the way OpenBSD and Windows do things, Windows is a little more transparent. The presence of the yubikey is invisible. And yet, I also like the OpenBSD way of allowing yubikey to be the sole auth mechanism. Some people use passwords, but I prefer epic passpoems detailing the rise and fall of REO Speedwagon. I'm fairly confident I'd like to keep that as a sole "backup" login mechanism, but am happy to find an option that works a little faster day to day.
I did most of my experimenting with the larger yubikey, since it was easier to move between machines. For operations involving logging into a web site, however, I'd prefer the nano. It's very small, even smaller than the tiniest wireless mouse transcievers I've seen. So small, in fact, I had trouble removing it because I couldn't find anything small enough to fit through the tiny loop. But probably a good thing. Most other micro USB gadgets stick out just enough to snag when pushing a laptop into a bag. Not the nano. You lose a port, but there's really no reason to ever take it out. Just leave it in, and then tap it whenever you login to the tubes. It would not be a good choice for authenticating to the local machine, however. The larger device, sized to fit on a keychain, is much better for that.
It is possible to use two keys as backups. Facebook and Dropbox allow adding two U2F keys. This is perhaps a little tiresome if there's lots of sites, as I see no way to clone a key. You have to login to every service. For challenge response and OTP, however, the personalization tool makes it easy to generate lots of yubikeys with the same secrets.
On the other hand, a single device supports an infinite number of U2F sites. The programmable interfaces like OTP are limited to only two slots, and the first is already used by the factory OTP setup.
It would be cool to use U2F to login to OpenBSD.

Q: Expected waiting time to cross the roads Given cars crossing certain place on a highway follows a Poisson process with rate $\lambda = 3$ mins. David waits to cross the road, but he only crosses if he sees no cars coming by in the next 30 seconds. Find his expected waiting time (hint: condition on the time of the first car).
My attempt: Let $X =$ waiting time of David before he crosses the street (so, $X\geq \frac{1}{2}$ mins), $Y = $ time that the 1st car took to cross the point where David waits (in mins), so $Y$ follows P.P$(3)$
We have: $E(X) = E(X|Y<\frac{1}{2})P(Y<\frac{1}{2}) + E(X|Y\geq \frac{1}{2})P(Y\geq \frac{1}{2})$. The 2nd term is actually just $\frac{1}{2}\ P(N(\frac{1}{2}) = 0) = \frac{1}{2}e^{\frac{-3}{2}},$ because $X$ David would cross the road immediately after waiting for $30$ seconds without seeing any cars.
I'm stucked here because I could not find a way to compute the first term (a more difficult case). Could someone please help me on how to compute this first term?

HANNAH CONNOLLY
Photo by Tammie Valer
Hannah Connolly is an American songwriter from Eau Claire, WI now based in Los Angeles, CA. Her first album, From Where You Are was released in January of 2020.
The 10-track LP blends somber indie-folk with warm classic country and Americana. Connolly's music is heartfelt and emotive, drawing influence from Patty Griffin, Alison Krauss, and the Arizona desert where her family now lives.
American Songwriter writes, "Hannah Connolly is a breath of fresh air for the Folk/Country scene showing off her graceful vocals and uplifting music, acting as a resurgence for classic country twang and great storytelling."
Following the release of From Where You Are, Hannah is finishing her second full-length album, with tracks to be released later this year.

I wanted to devour this book whole, so chores and life getting in the way was beyond distracting, as Cath said expertly in Fangirl: Real life was something happening in her peripheral vision. So I'm thankful for days like Shabbat, giving me the opportunity to have a day to read through a book and discuss it with my family.
The vibe between Lara Jean and Peter in Always and Forever, Lara Jean is miles away from the hostile and petty ways in the previous book. It's rather similar to their easy-going nature in the Netflix adaption of TATBILB, which was basically all that I wanted with rereading this series. It makes sense, too, given that this was the most recent to come out before the film.
Having read through all three books in this series, I can see now how the Netflix film adaption features different scenes and takes from each book. Like Peter and Lara Jean's list of their favorite movies to watch together, or Peter's comical line of comparing himself to the handsome hero in a film to fish out a compliment from the Song girls. Plus, LJ and Peter talking openly about their families, including his dad's absence, which is a first for them.
As I wrote in my review for P.S. I Still Love You, it's the careful, everyday observations that make my heart sing, and this concluding book was full of them, thankfully.
It was sweet to see him practice throughout the book, not just mentioned once for entertainment.
I was so glad to see so many heart-warming moments that make me want to break out into giddy laughter with the main couple.
He winks at me as he hops in his car. I watch him drive away. Even after a whole year of being together, it can still feel so new. To love a boy, to have him love you back. It feels miraculous.
Peter turning back was C U T E.
"I run back to his car, I pull him toward me by his shirt, and angle my face against his—and then I push him away and run backward, laughing, my hair whipping around my face.
Ahhh! This scene is the peak of young and in love.
I can tell now why Lara Jean ended up with Peter, instead of John Ambrose in P.S. I Still Love You: Peter lights up her life and the reading content to a more upbeat note, to paraphrase "her world is so much more with him in it." So had she ended up with John, all we would've gotten from the book are scenes of the Belleview nursing home, reading, baking, and decorating Easter eggs, rinse and repeat (there's only so many times this can remain steadfast interesting)… Honestly, 18-year-old Lara Jean leads such a Grandma-esque lifestyle (Chris can back me up; she even stole my line "Grandma Lara Jean"!) that those scenes of her timid nature are a snooze, until characters with a more lively personality, like Peter or Kitty or Chris, grace us with their presence.
Also, thank you clearheaded Margot for putting Lara Jean in the right headspace when it comes to her whimsical fantasies. Margot tells her sister exactly what I'd been screaming at LJ for too long, and it was beyond satisfying to read line by line my head-dialogue on the page. I felt heard.
Speaking of, this boyfriend of hers still falls prey to being a typical high school boy with his antics (I'm begging him to, please, stop falling prey to the miscommunication trope), which was my main hindrance with his character in P.S. I Still Love You. But he surprised me for the better with his considerate promposal, going all out to grant Lara Jean her little recreation straight from her favorite movie, Sleepless in Seattle (and it doesn't end here with the recreations of her favorite rom-coms: Sixteen Candles is next).
"I squeeze the bear, and again he says, "Will you go to prom with me, Lara Jean?" "Yes, I will, Howard." Howard is, of course, the name of the bear from Sleepless in Seattle.
It's the tiny nuances of their relationship that stuck with me. From revealing their college acceptance letters to late night drive troughs. Though, I do feel like their interactions were quite timid in this book with essentially no one-on-one scenes the more we dived into the storyline. He gets a bit lost behind in all the shenanigans set up in Always and Forever, Lara Jean.
I realized after reading for hours on end deep into the night, how deeply I missed the feeling of immersing myself fully into a book. There's nothing quite as comforting and quintessential as reading a good book with no real life worries ahead to diverge your attention.
If anything, I'm glad this book doesn't settle down for simply exploring everyday interactions, instead, we have something to propel the plot forward with exciting new components: Margot's visit home (she keeps this family in-check) and getting the chance to look over her new boyfriend with the scanner of approval. John Ambrose's surprise cameo, though, it's odd we had to get rid of a certain bigger-than-life character to set this encounter up. Everything leading up to our small, local wedding. Lara Jean's coping mechanisms with stress, including baking the perfect cookie (petition for LJ to start her own food blog!) and planning through every detail of the big day. Spur-of-the-moment road trips with Chris, who brings out the carefree, wild side in Lara Jean. The last day of high school and what that entails. But before all that, it all begins with college acceptance letters. The countdown is really on.
S T O P. This hurts.
This is what scares me most: I don't want either of us to get used to that reality. I want my sister to always have me available at a moment's notice. This whole scene hit me too hard.
It's interesting then to notice the clear parallel, in rereading To All the Boys I've Loved Before, between Lara Jean's worrying over the dynamic change once Margot leaves for college, and her own journey of leaving home for the first time in Always and Forever, Lara Jean.
I'm so thankful for this moment of bonding. It's always the tiniest of observations that creep up on you.
I'm glad I went into this fresh after having revisited P.S. I Still Love You because when I tried reading this finale on its own, back when it came out, everything here just read as fan wish-fulfillment because I'd completely forgotten all specific characteristics and events from the series. Time and distance makes the heart grow fonder, and I'm glad to have completed this last book after being immersed in their world through the movie and my reread of the previous books (though I must say how taken aback I was that it's been over a year since Always and Forever, Lara Jean came out). There's something so wistful about coming-of-age stories that won't seem to grow old on me.

Following, I will mention some of the hypothesis that will make a patient who suffers a hemiparesis to walk with or without shoes.
In this brief article, I will consider the mechanical facilitations, which I think that the shoes offer while walking, I will go deeper on the subject later on when we speak about the perceptive and cognitive aspects.
Let us divide walking in three stages, and we will see that inside each one of them, there are valid reasons which make the patient prefer the shoes.
It is the stage where we touch the floor with the heel, as we all know, walking with hemiplegia is sometimes difficult, due a reduced fragmentation of the ankle in addition, by a reduction in the full extension of the knee, in fact, it is erroneous to think that in this stage, the toes are the ones that go upwards; it is the heel that goes downwards and the knee is the one with the most participation in this movement.
The shoe with a small heel allows reaching the floor before than with the bare foot, thus exposing the walker to a flat support, or in more complex cases of the tip of the shoe.
It is the stage where the full load is placed on the foot, and very often with a hemiplegia which has matured the hypertonia, the foot reaches the floor supine, that is to say, with the lateral edge of the shoe. Walking barefoot gives an unpleasant feeling of being subject to suffer a sprain, while wearing a shoe with a longer sole, diminishes this feeling.
Hence, many patients state that there are many different types of shoes, in the case of women's shoes the sole is thinner (due to esthetic reasons), and so they claim to feel less stable since they are reaching the floor with support of the lateral edge of the shoe.
At this stage, sometimes happens that when we carry the load to the toes, these due to an irradiation effect "shrinks". When we are wearing shoes they shrink less moreover, carrying the load becomes less unpleasant, thus different than we are barefoot, when the toes are retracted.
I must also mention the fact that the sole reduces the floor imperfections and restrains the tightening of the foot.
It is the stage when the foot gets off the floor through its anterior edge.
This stage is in my opinion the one that makes the patients prefer to wear shoes, in fact, the flexion of the toes on the floor is very difficult. Being barefoot and completely flexing the knees, very often causes the toes to aim themselves perpendicularly to the floor, creating the risk of "bumping" with the foot, aggravated by the fact that in the movement process, the propulsion of the toes is the one that is last recovered when walking. (when I see a patient for the first time, that is one of the first thing that I observe, if I see a good movement of the toes I am sure he will recover an optimum walking).
With shoes on, the problem of the toes bumping in the propulsion is solved, since the tip of the shoe protects them.
If we properly control it, it is possible that the tip of the shoe with motor difficulties, is where the problem is centered since it is caused by its grazing withthe floor.

Community Leaders Join Forces to Support Capital Grant for Visionary New Home of Saint Anthony Hospital
Posted by Editor on May 2, 2019 in Business | Comments Off on Community Leaders Join Forces to Support Capital Grant for Visionary New Home of Saint Anthony Hospital
On Sunday morning Saint Anthony Hospital and a broad coalition of supporters launched a capital campaign for and unveiled the design for the Focal Point Community Campus, a visionary community development and new home for the Hospital. Supporters of the project, including Congressman Jesus "Chuy" Garcia and Illinois State Senator and Chair of the Subcommittee on Capital, Martin Sandoval, called for an $80 million Illinois capital grant to build a new facility for the independent safety net hospital and create an economic boost for the Southwest Side of Chicago. "One of my top priorities in Congress is to promote investment in our working-class communities to ensure affordability and growth so that families can live, thrive, and avoid displacement through gentrification," said Cong. Jesus "Chuy" Garcia. The Focal Point campus, at 31st Street and Kedzie Avenue in Little Village, will be the Southwest Side's biggest project in decades and will set a new standard for community development with not only a new hospital facility but also retail space, affordable housing, community recreation areas and education space, designed to further support the health and wellness needs of the community as well as create jobs and economic opportunity. "Saint Anthony Hospital has been a pillar of the community for over a century," said Hospital President and CEO, Guy A. Medaglia. "The new state-of-the-future hospital at Focal Point will help us advance our mission to promote health and provide quality care to patients and families in our community for the next one hundred years."


The Augur Contemporary Art Auction (CAA) deals mostly in contemporary art from Japan and abroad, with the objective of rejuvenating the contemporary Japanese art scene. Founded in 2006 by an art dealer, CAA was Japan's first auction house dealing exclusively in contemporary art. It continues to handle works of high quality, attracting the notice of many discerning collectors.
Japanese artists have recently enjoyed increasing international recognition, but many postwar contemporary artists are still suffering from poor reputation and low valuation. Augur Auction aims to focus on these pioneer artists and accord them the proper evaluation they deserve, in order to create the market conditions that will be able to nurture the next generation of young artists. CAA has been attracting significant attention from international audiences as well as foreign participants at its auctions.
This sale features works that will appeal both to seasoned collectors and newcomers, ranging from the postwar Japanese avant-garde group Gutai, young up-and-coming Japanese artists, and top foreign artists such as Andy Warhol.


According to Ruba Azzam, MD ,a modest elevation of liver enzymes (AST, ALT) is found to be common in untreated celiac disease, occurring in 15%-55% of patients. Also, it is important to note that celiac disease has been found in as many as 9% of patients with elevated liver enzymes. Although more research needs to be done it is expected that liver enzymes will normalize on a gluten-free diet in 6-12 months with certain liver conditions, but has not been proven for all. Celiac disease patients should follow up with their physician if liver enzymes have not begun to normalize after 6 months. If you have unexplained liver enzymes that are elevated and have not been diagnosed with celiac disease, it would be beneficial to have further testing.


With the anonymity and freedom that the internet affords, come the trolls. These trolls can be incredibly aggressive — and hard to ignore, especially on Twitter. But, over the years, we've come up with pretty effective ways of dealing with Twitter trolls. Like blocking them, which Twitter has made it easier to do. Or clicking that "report abuse" button Twitter instituted a couple years ago. Our favorite method? Trolling the trolls right back.
For Jessica Chastain, that meant using some biting sarcasm on Twitter to shut down men mansplaining women's health and feminism to her.
Blogger Chiara Sasti printed her haters' tweets on toilet paper.
And, for the past several months, screenwriter and Twitter user BenDavid Grabinski has been trolling his trolls by bringing up the cinematic masterpiece that is Magic Mike XXL.
Grabinski, who has worked as a writer and director, has clearly been a fan of the Magic Mike franchise for quite some time.
But in late January, he started mentioning the movie as a method of shutting down rude, obnoxious, and abusive people in his mentions.
The best part? It seems to do the trick!
At the very least it works better than the other strategies Grabinski's tried.
It works on Twitter DMs, too.
Grabinski's Magic Mike XXL Twitter troll strategy is absolutely legendary.
We're not the only ones taking note.
If you haven't seen @bdgrabinski deal with Trump trolls by recommending Magic Mike XXL to them, you're really missing out.
Consider us fans — of Grabinski now and, of course, Magic Mike XXL as well.
It is, after all, one of the best movies of all time.

Krysten Ritter on being Jessica Jones: "It's been completely life-changing"
By Rachel Weber 27 February 2018
The actress talks survivors, female empowerment, and season 2 in new SFX interview
Jessica Jones Season 2 arrives on Netflix on March 8, and it feels like we've never needed our favorite snarky survivor more. In a new interview with SFX, show star Krysten Ritter spoke about the deep connection she has to the fans. "It's been completely life-changing," she says.
"People often come up to me and say they feel very deeply personally connected to Jessica," says Ritter. "We live in a supernatural world but our show is very grounded, so you can play with real themes and make them so much bigger." For all her superpowers, the character of Jones has faced bereavement, abuse, and violence.
"Some people have been very emotional with me. They were survivors themselves, and felt like they saw themselves on screen. They loved that Jessica didn't let her past traumas define her. They loved that she wins at the end, even though it's a small victory, even though she doesn't know what the next day will bring. She's still putting one foot in front of the other, and a lot of people connected with that storyline. Sometimes I'll get tears from people, and of course you're crying too."
Ritter also spoke about the importance of having such a strong female cast and crew. All of season 2's episodes are directed by women. "We're trying to empower a lot of women and give opportunities to people who maybe weren't getting them elsewhere," explains Ritter. "It feels very much a part of our world on this show. We have amazing women in the crew, our costume designer, we even have some female grips and female ACs in the camera department."

Hospital de Santa Creu i de Sant Pau
The Hospital de Santa Creu i de Sant Pau (Hospital of the Holy Cross and St Paul) is an impressive hospital complex constructed at the beginning of the twentieth century by Lluís Domènech i Montaner and his son.
The Hospital de Santa Creu i de Sant Pau, commonly known as Hospital de Sant Pau, is an impressive complex constructed at the beginning of the twentieth century by Lluís Domènech I Montaner and his son. The surprising hospital was designed like a small modernist complex. The idea behind the design was to help the patients heal thanks to its pleasant atmosphere. Since 2009, it is no longer functioning as a hospital.
The impressive buildings covered in red brick were designed as sober country houses surrounded by a lovely setting. Each department was housed in a different building and these were all connected by underground passageways.
Exploring the Hospital
Visitors may take a self-guided visit of Sant Pau or can also take an English-speaking guided tour of the grounds while gaining in-depth knowledge of the history of Sant Pau and life in Barcelona during the twentieth century.
The visit begins in the Pavilion of Sant Jordi, where visitors will get to see an exhibition on the past, present and future of the Hospital. The tour continues inside the Hospital's church and then in various other pavilions, where the guide will tell you curious stories that took place in the complex. The visit comes to an end in the underground tunnels that connect all the buildings.
If you decide to visit the center without booking a guided tour, you may only visit some of the Hospital's pavilions and you won't be allowed access into the tunnels.
An Open-Air Museum
The Hospital de Santa Creu i de Sant Pau is one of the most exceptional Catalan Art Nouveau complexes in Barcelona. Moreover, in 2014, it was completely renovated and was transformed into a research and cultural center. In our opinion, it is definitely worthwhile visiting.

I didn't realize this was book 5 in a series but I didn't feel like I had any trouble settling into the story. Mary Wine is a new to me author but after finishing this book I definitely want to read more of her works.
I loved Symon's character and I was rooting for him all the way. His cousin and the other clan members all made me smile and fall in love with them. Athena was a bit harder to like as I felt like though she was strong and independent she sometimes took it too far and didn't make the smartest choices. She seemed to find it more important to make go her own way just to show she could even when logically it didn't make sense. Still it was great watching the interaction between her and Symon and watching their relationship develop.
Despite my misgivings about Athena I couldn't put this book down and cannot wait for Brenda's story!

...I just posted over there...used no cuss words...let's see how long it lasts and how many times my mother will be called a whore.
Not too long ago, we had a reputable forum hosted by the Assyrian International News Agency (AINA) namely "The Assyrian Forum". Many of us, from different parts of the world used that venue to share and exchange views pertinent to the welfare and well being of our nation. That platform provided us with up to date, and in most cases instantaneous news emanating from our homeland – Iraq. It also provided us with the ideal opportunity to discuss and often argue intensively on current affairs, ranging from political, social and religious issues. Sadly, the administrators of the aforementioned forum for whatever reasons decided to disband our one source of continuous feed relating to our Assyrian Chaldean Syriac nation.
It gives me enormous pleasure to welcome you all to your new home - The Mesopotamian Forum. There will be no restriction as to what you can discuss, as long as no offensive language is used. I will allow the forum to flow, so I appeal to you all to conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of our great history and heritage.
May God bless our nation and lead us towards the prophecy of Isaiah.


Tinuku - Zephyr S drone may be satellite contender as Airbus sets endurance record. A drone has set an endurance record that has made headlines, specifically the Engineer and other sites reported it was in the air for 25 days, 23 hours and 57 minutes. The UK-built pilotless drone took off from Arizona and safely landed.
Reports said the flight broke a previous endurance record of 14 days. This is the Airbus SE's Zephyr spy drone, its first production version. Zephyr is a High Altitude Pseudo-Satellite (HAPS) and operates in the stratosphere or the second layer of the atmosphere as you go upward.
The Zephyr operates at an altitude above the planet's weather systems where only the Concorde, the U2 spy plane and Mach 3 SR-71 Blackbird previously flew. Other than setting an endurance record, the talking points of this drone center around its being a less a less costly alternative to conventional satellites and more nimble.
The key words are satellite, it fulfills the role of the satellite. The pseudo word is apt, in staying aloft to work like a satellite. Solar-powered aircraft of this sort can compete with satellites in the markets for Earth observation and telecommunications.
"The first unmanned aircraft of its kind to fly in the stratosphere. As for solar features, above the weather and conventional air traffic. It is a HAPS: a High Altitude Pseudo Satellite," Airbus said.
A popular talking point has been its light weight 75 kilos (165 pounds). It has a 25-meter wingspan (82 feet). The Engineer said the carbon fibers for its construction were thinner than a human hair. The construction was so light, that it can be hand-launched by three people. The company made note of "flexibility" in this regard. Zephyr's launch requirements are simple compared to traditional aviation. No runway and no airport.

Fukushima Meltdown Unlikely to Lead to Large Number of Cancers
By Fredrik Dahl
VIENNA (Reuters) - Japan's Fukushima nuclear disaster is unlikely to lead to a large number of people developing cancer like after Chernobyl in 1986, even though the most exposed children may face an increased risk, U.N. scientists said on Wednesday.
In a major study, the United Nations Scientific Committee on the Effects of Atomic Radiation (UNSCEAR) said it did not expect "significant changes" in future cancer rates that could be attributed to radiation exposure from the reactor meltdowns.
The amounts of radioactive substances such as iodine-131 released after the 2011 accident were much lower than after Chernobyl, and Japanese authorities also took action to protect people living near the stricken plant, including evacuations.
However, some children - estimated at fewer than 1,000 - might have received doses that could affect the risk of developing thyroid cancer later in life, UNSCEAR said, making clear that the probability of that happening was still low.
UNSCEAR chair Carl-Magnus Larsson said there was a theoretically increased risk among the most exposed children as regards to this type of cancer, which is a rare disease among the young.
But, "we are not sure that this is going to be something that will be captured in the thyroid cancer statistics in future," he told a news conference.
On March 11, 2011, a magnitude 9 earthquake and tsunami devastated the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant, 220 km northeast of Tokyo, spewing radiation and forcing about 160,000 people to flee their homes.
It was the world's worst nuclear disaster since the Chernobyl reactor explosion sent radioactive dust across much of Europe. People close to the then Soviet plant were exposed to radioactive iodine that contaminated milk.
In contrast, UNSCEAR's Fukushima report said it expected a low impact on cancer rates of the population and that this was largely due to "prompt protective actions" by Japanese authorities following the accident.
A 30-km radius around the plant was declared a no-go zone, while areas where radiation was not so critically high took steps such as replacing the earth in parks and school playgrounds, decontaminating public spaces like sidewalks, and limiting children's outdoor play time.
"No discernible changes in future cancer rates and hereditary diseases are expected due to exposure to radiation as a result of the Fukushima nuclear accident," it UNSCEAR said in a statement accompanying its nearly 300-page study.
LOW RISK AMONG CHILDREN MOST EXPOSED
The thyroid - a gland in the neck that produces hormones that regulate vital bodily functions - is the most exposed organ as radioactive iodine concentrates there. Children are deemed especially vulnerable.
UNSCEAR said the normal thyroid cancer risk for young children was very low.
"The occurrence of a large number of radiation-induced thyroid cancers as were observed after Chernobyl can be discounted because doses were substantially lower," it said.
In Belarus, Russia and Ukraine, the countries most affected by Chernobyl, more than 6,000 cases of thyroid cancer had been reported by 2005 in children and adolescents who were exposed at the time of the accident, UNSCEAR says on its website.
UNSCEAR said about 35,000 children aged up to five lived in districts where the average absorbed dose to the thyroid was between 45 and 55 milliGrays (mGy), a radiation measurement.
But doses varied considerably among individuals, from about two to three times higher or lower than the average.
UNSCEAR "considered that fewer than a thousand children might have received absorbed doses to the thyroid that exceeded 100 mGy and ranged up to about 150 mGy," the report said.
"The risk of thyroid cancer for this group could be expected to be increased," it said.
UNSCEAR's press statement made clear it was still not seen as a big risk, however, with a headline saying: "Low risk of thyroid cancer among children most exposed."
The report also said that any effects of radiation exposure on land and marine ecosystems would have been "transient".
"For marine ecosystems, the possibility of effects on flora and fauna was limited to the shoreline area adjacent to the power station and the potential for effects over the long term was considered insignificant," it said.
UNSCEAR said 80 leading scientists had worked on the report - "Levels and effects of radiation exposure due to the nuclear accident after the 2011 great east-Japan earthquake and tsunami" - and that the material was reviewed by its 27 member states.

With all the day-to-day concerns of running a business, fire is likely not top of mind. Yet, each year many businesses in the U.S. experience significant damage and loss caused by fire, smoke, and water released by fire suppression systems. In 2016 alone, there were 96,800 fires in non-residential structures accounting for 145 deaths, 1,550 injuries and $2,007,300,00 in losses, according to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).
Even a small fire can cause a business to suffer a full loss. FEMA estimates in their latest data from 2014-2016 that smoke alarms were not present in 52% of the larger, nonconfined fires in occupied, nonresidential buildings. Prevention and detection are key. Here are some of the most common causes of fire in commercial buildings to help you keep your business and property safe.
According to FEMA, one of the most common causes of fire in non-residential structures is cooking. Restaurants top the list and experienced a substantial increase (18%) in fires for the 10-year period from 2007-2016. Other businesses and institutions, such as schools and offices with cafeterias or break rooms, are also at risk. Most incidents of fire result from mishandling or malfunctioning equipment. In fact, the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) indicates that three out of every five fires in restaurants and one out of every four fires in office buildings are caused by cooking equipment. Proper maintenance and use of kitchen equipment, and the use of fire detection and suppression systems can help prevent damage and loss from kitchen fires.
Unfortunately, one of the leading causes of fire in commercial buildings is arson. In fact, FEMA estimates that just over 9% of all non-residential fires are intentional. While commonly thought to be mainly started by owners, arson fires can be caused by vandals, disgruntled employees, unhappy clients, or those concealing crime. According to FEMA, assembly, educational, and institutional properties, as well as detached garages, have historically been the most likely to be the victims of intentional fires. The use of burglar alarms, video surveillance, and fire detection systems can help detect and prevent arson.
Over 10% of commercial fires are the result of simple human error. Carelessness, such as the misuse of electrical sockets or tossing of cigarettes often end in unintentional fires. In 2016 alone, these types of fires resulted in $380,300,000 in losses. In the case of human error, early fire detection and fire alarm systems are critical to minimizing damage.
Heating, including heating units, fireplaces, space heaters, and water heaters cause 8% of nonresidential fires. Regular inspections of these heating systems can help avoid potential issues. Ensuring you avoid placing flammable materials near heat sources, particularly when heating units are in use, is also critical to fire prevention.

Lumbosacral spine x-ray
X-ray - lumbosacral spine; X-ray - lower spine
A lumbosacral spine x-ray is a picture of the small bones (vertebrae) in the lower part of the spine. This area includes the lumbar region and the sacrum, the area that connects the spine to the pelvis.
X-rays are a type of electromagnetic radiation, just like visible light. An x-ray machine sends individual x-ray particles through the body. The im...
The test is done in a hospital x-ray department or your health care provider's office by an x-ray technician. You will be asked to lie on the x-ray table in different positions. If the x-ray is being done to diagnose an injury, care will be taken to prevent further injury.
The x-ray machine will be placed over the lower part of your spine. You will be asked to hold your breath as the picture is taken so that the image will not be blurry. In most cases, 3 to 5 pictures are taken.
Tell the provider if you are pregnant. Take off all jewelry.
There is rarely any discomfort when having an x-ray, although the table may be cold.
Often, the provider will treat a person with low back pain for 4 to 8 weeks before ordering an x-ray.
The most common reason for lumbosacral spine x-ray is to look for the cause of low back pain that:
Occurs after injury
Is severe
Does not go away after 4 to 8 weeks
Is present in an older person
Lumbosacral spine x-rays may show:
Abnormal curves of the spine
Abnormal wear on the cartilage and bones of the lower spine, such as bone spurs and narrowing of the joints between the vertebrae
Cancer (although cancer often cannot be seen on this type of x-ray)
Compression fractures of the back are broken vertebrae. Vertebrae are the bones of the spine.
Signs of thinning bones (osteoporosis)
Osteoporosis is a disease in which bones become fragile and more likely to break (fracture).
Spondylolisthesis, in which a bone (vertebra) in the lower part of the spine slips out of the proper position onto the bone below it
Spondylolisthesis is a condition in which a bone (vertebra) in the spine moves forward out of the proper position onto the bone below it.
Though some of these findings may be seen on an x-ray, they are not always the cause of back pain.
Many problems in the spine cannot be diagnosed using a lumbosacral x-ray, including:
Sciatica refers to pain, weakness, numbness, or tingling in the leg. It is caused by injury to or pressure on the sciatic nerve. Sciatica is a symp...
Slipped or herniated disc
A herniated (slipped) disk occurs when all or part of a disk is forced through a weakened part of the disk. This may place pressure on nearby nerves...
Spinal stenosis - narrowing of the spinal column
Spinal stenosis is narrowing of the spinal column that causes pressure on the spinal cord, or narrowing of the openings (called neural foramina) wher...
There is low radiation exposure. X-ray machines are checked often to make sure they are as safe as possible. Most experts feel that the risk is low compared with the benefits.
Pregnant women should not be exposed to radiation, if at all possible. Care should be taken before children receive x-rays.
There are some back problems that an x-ray will not find. That is because they involve the muscles, nerves, and other soft tissues. A lumbosacral spine CT or lumbosacral spine MRI are better options for soft tissue problems.

Skeletal spine - illustration
The spine is divided into several sections. The cervical vertebrae make up the neck. The thoracic vertebrae comprise the chest section and have ribs attached. The lumbar vertebrae are the remaining vertebrae below the last thoracic bone and the top of the sacrum. The sacral vertebrae are caged within the bones of the pelvis, and the coccyx represents the terminal vertebrae or vestigial tail.
Skeletal spine
Vertebra, lumbar (low back) - illustration
These are the five vertebra of the lower back. The last vertebra (on the upper left of the picture) attaches to the sacrum, and the top vertebra (on the right of the picture) attaches to the thoracic section of the back. The vertebra are broader and stronger than the other bones in the spine. This allows them to absorb the added pressure applied to the lower back, but this area remains a common site of injury. The vertebra are numbered from one to five and are labeled L1, L2, L3 etc. from the higher bones to the lower.
Vertebra, lumbar (low back)
Vertebra, thoracic (mid back) - illustration
These are twelve vertebra of the mid back. The last vertebra (on the left side of the picture) attaches to the lumbar (lower) spine, and the top vertebra (on the right) attaches to the cervical (neck) section of the back. The vertebra are broader and stronger than the cervical bones. This allows them to absorb the added pressure applied to the mid back, but they remain a common sight of injury. The vertebra are numbered from one to twelve and labeled T1, T2, T3, et cetera, from the upper most bones to the lowest.
Vertebra, thoracic (mid back)
Vertebral column - illustration
This is the spine and the sacrum with the cervical (neck), thoracic (mid-back), and lumbar (lower back) vertebra. Notice how the appearance of the vertebra change as you look down the spine. The change in shape and size reflect the different functions of the neck, mid-back, and lower back.
Sacrum - illustration
The sacrum is a shield-shaped bony structure that is located at the base of the lumbar vertebrae and that is connected to the pelvis. The sacrum forms the posterior pelvic wall and strengthens and stabilizes the pelvis. Joined at the very end of the sacrum are two to four tiny, partially fused vertebrae known as the coccyx or tail bone. The coccyx provides slight support for the pelvic organs but actually is a bone of little use.
Posterior spinal anatomy - illustration
The vertebral column is divided into the cervical, thoracic, and lumbar region. It provides structural support for the trunk and surrounds and protects the spinal cord. The vertebral column also provides attachment points for the muscles of the back and ribs.

SoNo (South of North Avenue) is a sub-district of downtown Atlanta, Georgia, just south of Midtown. The area was defined and named by T. Brian Glass while working on a rezoning committee with Central Atlanta Progress in 2005 in order to better establish an identity for the area and give it a hipper image.  SoNo refers to the area of Downtown bounded by North Avenue on the north, Central Park Place on the east and the Downtown Connector (Interstate-75/85) on the west and south.

Ongoing urban renewal efforts in the new neighborhood seek to establish a chic cultural identity for the underdeveloped area, as well as reunite the Midtown and Downtown commercial districts (which have remained mostly divided since the construction of the Downtown Connector through the heart of the city), including a proposed "interstate cap" over the highway that would extend Mayor's Park south along Peachtree Street to Baker Street.

SoNo is home to several attractions, including Emory University Hospital Midtown, the Atlanta Civic Center, Shakespeare Tavern and the Bank of America Plaza, the city's tallest building. It also is home to the historic Baltimore Block and Rufus M. Rose House. SoNo's centerpiece Renaissance and Central Parks were also the site of Atlanta's annual Music Midtown festival, before moving to Piedmont Park.

Public transportation is provided by MARTA with buses and with the north-south rail line serving the Civic Center station.

History

In the last decades of the 19th century and the first years of the 20th, Peachtree Street was a street of elegant mansions — the Rufus M. Rose House being the last remaining example in what is now SoNo. These gradually were replaced by commercial buildings, large churches, apartment buildings and boarding houses and by the end of the 1920s the transformation was complete. With suburbanization in the mid-20th century, the area went into a period of decline. When given its name and new image by T. Brian Glass while working on a rezoning committee with Central Atlanta Progress in 2005, SoNo had not yet participated substantially in the renaissance of either downtown to the south or Midtown to the north.

The area from Piedmont east to Central Park had a different history — this developed as the Buttermilk Bottom slum area, which was razed in the 1960s. Most of the land then remained empty, the Convention Center (built 1967), now the Boisfeuillet Jones Atlanta Civic Center, being an exception. FInally, in the mid-1980s new, mostly mixed-income projects were built on the land, while some of the land was used for today's Renaissance Park.

Quantum computer creation milestone
(a) Scanning electron image of one of the Foundry-fabricated quantum dot devices. Four quantum dots can be formed in the silicon (dark grey), using four independent control wires (light grey). These wires are the control knobs that enable the so called quantum gates. (b) Schematic of the two-dimensional array device. Each Qubit (red circle) can interact with its nearest neighbor in the two-dimensional network, and circumvent a Qubit that fails for one reason or other. This setup is what "second dimension" means.
QUANTUM COMPUTER: One of the obstacles for progress in the quest for a working quantum computer has been that the working devices that go into a quantum computer and perform the actual calculations, the qubits, have hitherto been made by universities and in small numbers. But in recent years, a pan-European collaboration, in partnership with French microelectronics leader CEA-Leti, has been exploring everyday transistors–that are present in billions in all our mobile phones—for their use as qubits.
The French company Leti makes giant wafers full of devices, and, after measuring, researchers at the Niels Bohr Institute, University of Copenhagen, have found these industrially produced devices to be suitable as a qubit platform capable of moving to the second dimension, a significant step for a working quantum computer. The result is now published in Nature Communications.
Quantum dots in two dimensional array is a leap ahead
One of the key features of the devices is the two-dimensional array of quantum dot. Or more precisely, a two by two lattice of quantum dots. "What we have shown is that we can realize single electron control in every single one of these quantum dots. This is very important for the development of a qubit, because one of the possible ways of making qubits is to use the spin of a single electron. So reaching this goal of controlling the single electrons and doing it in a 2D array of quantum dots was very important for us", says Fabio Ansaloni, former PhD student, now postdoc at center for Quantum Devices, NBI.
Using electron spins has proven to be advantageous for the implementation of qubits. In fact, their "quiet" nature makes spins weakly interacting with the noisy environment, an important requirement to obtain highly performing qubits.
Extending quantum computers processors to the second dimension has been proven to be essential for a more efficient implementation of quantum error correction routines. Quantum error correction will enable future quantum computers to be fault tolerant against individual qubit failures during the computations.
The importance of industry scale production
Assistant Professor at Center for Quantum Devices, NBI, Anasua Chatterjee adds: "The original idea was to make an array of spin qubits, get down to single electrons and become able to control them and move them around. In that sense it is really great that Leti was able to deliver the samples we have used, which in turn made it possible for us to attain this result. A lot of credit goes to the pan-European project consortium, and generous funding from the EU, helping us to slowly move from the level of a single quantum dot with a single electron to having two electrons, and now moving on to the two dimensional arrays. Two dimensional arrays is a really big goal, because that's beginning to look like something you absolutely need to build a quantum computer. So Leti has been involved with a series of projects over the years, which have all contributed to this result."
The credit for getting this far belongs to many projects across Europe
The development has been gradual. In 2015, researchers in Grenoble succeeded in making the first spin qubit, but this was based on holes, not electrons. Back then, the performance of the devices made in the "hole regime" were not optimal, and the technology has advanced so that the devices now at NBI can have two dimensional arrays in the single electron regime. The progress is threefold, the researchers explain: "First, producing the devices in an industrial foundry is a necessity. The scalability of a modern, industrial process is essential as we start to make bigger arrays, for example for small quantum simulators. Second, when making a quantum computer, you need an array in two dimensions, and you need a way of connecting the external world to each qubit. If you have 4-5 connections for each qubit, you quickly end up with a unrealistic number of wires going out of the low-temperature setup. But what we have managed to show is that we can have one gate per electron, and you can read and control with the same gate. And lastly, using these tools we were able to move and swap single electrons in a controlled way around the array, a challenge in itself."
Two dimensional arrays can control errors
Controlling errors occurring in the devices is a chapter in itself. The computers we use today produce plenty of errors, but they are corrected through what is called the repetition code. In a conventional computer, you can have information in either a 0 or a 1. In order to be sure that the outcome of a calculation is correct, the computer repeats the calculation and if one transistor makes an error, it is corrected through simple majority. If the majority of the calculations performed in other transistors point to 1 and not 0, then 1 is chosen as the result. This is not possible in a quantum computer since you cannot make an exact copy of a qubit, so quantum error correction works in another way: State-of-the-art physical qubits do not have low error rate yet, but if enough of them are combined in the 2D array, they can keep each other in check, so to speak. This is another advantage of the now realized 2D array.
The next step from this milestone
The result realized at the Niels Bohr Institute shows that it is now possible to control single electrons, and perform the experiment in the absence of a magnetic field. So the next step will be to look for spins – spin signatures – in the presence of a magnetic field. This will be essential to implement single and two qubit gates between the single qubits in the array. Theory has shown that a handful of single and two qubit gates, called a complete set of quantum gates, are enough to enable universal quantum computation.
